■ Republicans say they don’t
want the Guantanamo Bay
facility to be shut down.
Legislation expected
to face stiff opposition in
GOP-controlled House
By Chris Carroll
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — Local
Republicans in Congress condemned President Barack
Obama’s renewed commitment
to close the Guantanamo Bay
prison in Cuba, freshening their
own arguments against transferring detainees and putting
Americans in harm’s way.
“All of the prisoners housed
at Guantanamo are terrorists,”
said U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, RAla. “They pose an obvious threat
to our national
security, and
they should not
be allowed to
set foot on our
soil.”
Last week at
a hastily called
news conference, Obama
Richard
vowed in surShelby
prisingly striking terms to reset his focus on
a first-term promise from 2009:
Defy conservatives in Congress,
shutter Guantanamo and transfer
up to 166 prisoners to other countries or a Supermax-style prison
in Illinois.
“I think it is critical for us to
understand that Guantanamo is
not necessary to keep America
safe,” Obama said, calling the
prison inefficient and expensive.
“It hurts us in terms of our international standing.”
The president’s call to action
came in the midst of a hunger
strike in which 21 indefinitely
held detainees are being force-fed
through their noses. His remarks
also surfaced as military officials
sought an extra $200 million to
repair and replace deteriorating
facilities at the prison, according
to The New York Times.
But through statements and
votes, most Senate Republicans
from Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia have joined the majority
of their colleagues in obstructing
the president. By and large, they
cite safety concerns that are likely to imperil Obama’s renewed
efforts on Guantanamo, whatever they may be.
“The American people expect
us to keep them safe,” Sen. Lamar

A pharmacist holds a box of emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel, the morning-after pill.
New rules permitting 15-year-olds to get the morning-after pill without a prescription are
being debated by politicians and parents.
“What is the
message we
are sending
our kids? I
have a hard
time seeing
how this is in the best
interest of our children.”

T
he “morning-after pill”
may be only 1.5 mg, but for
both sides of the debate
surrounding it, the tablet
carries a lot of weight.
Advocates of making the pill more
accessible to younger teens say the
emergency contraceptive is crucial
to lowering the rate of unwanted
pregnancies. But some local critics
and concerned pharmacists say the
pill’s power can encourage choices
that young teens aren’t ready to
handle.
Last week, regulators with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
lowered the age limit for people
buying Plan B One-Step emergency
contraception and its generic counterparts from 17 to 15.
The FDA also decided to make
the contraceptive available on store
shelves alongside condoms and
other widely used family planning
products, instead of behind pharmacy counters.
The decision has been cheered by
those who have long argued that the
pill is safe for any female of a reproductive age to use.

president and CEO of
Chattanooga-based familyadvocacy organization First

WASHINGTON — Get
ready, Amazon hounds and eBay
fiends of America: Start Googling
“Internet sales tax.”
The phrase got closer to
reality Monday thanks to some
rare bipartisan consensus in a
gridlocked Capitol. Senators
voted 69-27 on a bill that would
give states the ability to force
all Internet retailers to collect
sales taxes that online shoppers
currently must pay but largely
don’t.
Those same retailers then
would be forced to remit the
proceeds to the state where the
shopper lives.
The Marketplace Fairness Act
now heads to the House, where
passage hinges
on whether suspicious Republicans believe
collecting an
already-owed
tax amounts to
a new one.
In floor
debate Mon- Lamar
day, Sen. Lamar Alexander
Alexander, a
Tennessee Republican and a
key player in the bill’s rise, found
himself fighting a new generation of conservatives who said
the bill creates onerous regulations for small businesses dealing with a lukewarm economy.
Among Alexander’s foes was
Sen. Ted Cruz, a tea party Texas
Republican whose name has
been mentioned in 2016 presidential buzz.
“I believe the Senate should
treat the Internet as a safe haven,”
Cruz said, adding that “momand-pop retailers” can’t afford
“accountants and lawyers and
people designed to deal with”
the bill’s requirements.
But Alexander noted the bill
exempts online businesses that
haven’t cleared $1 million in
annual sales.

Israeli airstrike in Syria aimed at Iran
By Josef Federman and Karin Laub
BEIRUT — From Israel’s perspective, its
airstrikes near Damascus were more about
Iran than Syria: Tehran’s shipment of guided
missiles destroyed in the weekend attacks
would have posed a potent threat had the
weapons reached Iranian proxy Hezbollah
in Lebanon.
While Israel says it has no interest getting involved in the Syrian civil war, it could
find itself drawn into the conflict if Syrian
leader Bashar Assad’s Iranian patrons continue to use his territory to ship arms to
Hezbollah.
Repeated Israeli strikes would almost
certainly prompt Syrian retaliation, yielding

For the West, it offers another compelling
argument that the Syrian war must somehow be brought to an end.

his last breaths after shots
were exchanged with another gunman late Sunday night,
according to Chattanooga
police. Washington was
shot about 11:15 p.m. at 3687
Northrop St. in Lupton City.
Homes dot the hill line, some
worn weary from the elements and in need of repair
while others were freshly

Anthony judge:
Enough
evidence
to convict
Brothers win
CBS’ ‘Race’
ORLANDO, Fla. — The
judge who presided over the
trial of Casey Anthony says
he believes there was enough
evidence to convict the Florida
mother who was acquitted of
murdering her 2-year-old daughter.
Judge Belvin Perry told NBC’s
“Today” show on Monday that he
believes there was sufficient evidence for a first-degree murder
conviction, even though much of
it was circumstantial.
Anthony was acquitted almost
two years ago of killing her
daughter, Caylee, following a trial
that attracted worldwide attention. She was convicted of making
false statements to police and got
credit for time served.
The judge says he saw two
sides to Anthony. The one she
showed to jurors was a wrongfully accused mother grieving for
her child. The other was a woman

GRANTHAM, Pa. — Singersongwriter Josh Ritter says he
won’t play a central Pennsylvania Christian college again
unless it changes its policy
against “homosexual behavior.”
Ritter made the announcement on Facebook hours
after playing a Friday night
concert at Messiah College in
Grantham, Pa., southwest of
Harrisburg.
Messiah students and staff
have to sign a “community
covenant” promising to avoid
homosexual behavior and premarital sex.
Ritter calls the policy exclusionary and bigoted. He says
he’s donating his fee to an organization that provides crisis
intervention and suicide prevention services.
Messiah spokeswoman Beth
Lorow says the administration
is disappointed that Ritter is
speaking in favor of tolerance
but isn’t applying those principles to their religious freedoms.
LAS VEGAS — After nearly
a decade-long hiatus marred by
burnout, a painful divorce and
physical problems that affected
her ability to sing, country superstar Shania Twain said she’s finding her groove as a Las Vegas
headliner.
On Monday, Twain announced
22 new show dates this fall for
“Shania: Still the One,” a spectacle
at a 4,300-seat Caesars Palace concert hall that includes two trained
horses, a live band, and the 47year-old Canadian beauty clad in
sparkling bodysuits and thigh-high
boots. She’s also staging a run of
12 shows starting May 14.
“I couldn’t be any happier,”
Twain told The Associated Press
in a phone call from the Bahamas,
where she lives between shows.
“It turned out so beautifully and
I’m so proud of it.”
Twain made her debut in
December at the Colosseum,
home to fellow Canadian songstress Celine Dion, shortly after
parading down the Las Vegas Strip
on horseback. But perhaps more
significant than her regal grand
entrance amid a herd of 40 horses
was that the five-time Grammy
winner returned to performing at
all. Since releasing the 1997 album
“Come on Over,” which became
the best-selling country album of
all time, her life hit a feverish pace
of road shows and promotions
that continued even after the birth
of her son in 2001.
After her “Up!” tour wrapped
in 2004, it was unclear whether
the new mom would ever be back.
The singer known for “Any
Man of Mine” and “That Don’t
Impress Me” struggled with muscular tension that made singing
more difficult. And in 2008, she
was thrust into an unwelcome
spotlight by an alleged affair
between her then-husband and
producer, Robert “Mutt” Lange,
and one of her best friends.
Since then, she married that
friend’s ex-husband, Frederic
Thiebaud. They’ve found some
sense of normalcy; Thiebaud
coaches Twain’s son in soccer,
and she said the 11-year-old is a
happy child.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — An
Alabama pro hockey player and
his brother have claimed the $1
million prize of CBS’ “Amazing
Race.”
Huntsville Havoc player
Anthony Battaglia and his brother
Bates were shown winning
the event in a two-hour finale
that aired Sunday night, al.com
reported
Good note-taking skills turned
out to be a key part of their victory after all the running, swimming
and scrambling across the globe.
The finale took competitors
from Edinburgh to Belfast to London to Washington, D.C., where
they twice had to show a good
memory for details of their voyage. At one point, their finishing
positions in several past episodes
translated into the combination to
a briefcase containing a clue. At
another, they had to line up countries in the order in which they
had visited them.
At the finish line, members of
the teams which had earlier been
eliminated cheered the finalists
as they arrived. For fans of Team
Mullet, it was one last chance to
see Chuck and Wynona McCall
of Daphne. The couple had a
good run, making past the halfway point.
Hill gets
3 months
in tax case
NEWARK, N.J. — Grammywinning singer Lauryn Hill has
been sentenced to three months
in prison for failing to pay about
$1 million in taxes.
She also was sentenced Monday in Newark to three additional
months of home confinement.
The 37-year-old South Orange
resident pleaded guilty last year
in the case.
During a forceful statement
to the judge, Hill explained she
had always meant to eventually
pay the taxes but was unable to
during a period of time when she
dropped out of the music business.
Before the sentencing, her
attorney had said Hill had paid
more than $970,000 to satisfy the
state and federal tax liabilities.

ATTENTION –Chattanooga Peripheral Neuropathy Sufferers........
“New, Breakthrough
Treatment Reduces or Possibly
Eliminates Peripheral
Neuropathy Symptoms –
Without Drugs or Surgery!”
(Would you like to end the numbness, burning, tingling,
and sharp pain in your feet, toes, calves, and legs? If so, read on........)
Chattanooga, TN – Our names are Dr. John C.B
Wall and Dr. Jessica Taylor. If you have idiopathic
Peripheral Neuropathy or Diabetic Neuropathy,
you may be asking yourself any or all of these
questions:
with no use of pain medication. I love this place.
All of the staff are wonderful!
-Dorothy Harris, (Retired) Birchwood TN
When I came to the The Chattanooga Spine and
Nerve Institute I never dreamed that anything
would change. My hands and feet were so painful that I could hardly bear it. I was taking pain
medication two times a day and sometimes a
third time if needed. It was even painful to wash
my hands. They felt like they had been fried.
My fingernails even hurt. My feet were terrible.
I couldn’t stand for anything to touch them.
Wearing shoes was miserable. Now I can tell a big
difference. Before I started this treatment it even
hurt to clap my hands, but not anymore. Thank
you God, Dr. Wall and all of your staff at The
Chattanooga Spine and Nerve Institute.
-Brenday Hill, (Retired) Chattanooga, TN.
• Why do I have pain in my legs, feet, toes?
• What causes the tingling sensation or numbness
in my legs and feet?
• Am I at risk for infection or amputation
– even if I’m not a diabetic?
• Why do my feet feel like they’re on fire?
Here’s What Makes
Peripheral Neuropathy So Dangerous:
See, PN is so bad because it sort of sneaks up on
you. Quietly like a thief in the night. Like the
angry spouse in the detective stories who slowly
poisons the other spouse with arsenic.....PN is a
condition that slowly eats away at you. It doesn’t
happen in an instant like breaking a leg. No, it’s
just like a poison (especially with diabetes), doing
its damage to nerves slowly. So slowly, that at first,
when it’s already done some damage, you won’t
even notice it.
What About Your Future:
Are You Worried About Your Job – Your Life?
Unfortunately, there are people who have been
forced to quit their jobs or give up their social
life because of PN symptoms. So what do you
do? What choices do you have? If you’re like
most people, the outcome of your visits to the
MD have resulted in taking cortisone injections,
Motrin, prescriptions for Neurontin, and you’ve
experienced the drowsiness it causes – only giving
you a brief relief from the pain – or none at all.
Only to have it return as soon as the tranquilizing,
nerve-deadening effect wears off. What good is
that??
So, Back To The Question:
What are YOU going to do if you’re stuck between the tingling, prickling, hot fire-like burning sensation in your feet or continuing to take
mind-numbing Lyrica and Neurontin? Finally
– some good news! A patented, extremely effective
non-invasive diabetic and peripheral neuropathy
treatment is now available, for the first time ever,
in Chattanooga, TN. If your feet feel like you’re
walking on thumbtacks or are “on fire”, or if they
tingle unbearably, or they feel as cold as a frozen
Popsicle you owe it to yourself to check out this
new technology.
There May Be Hope For You With A New Technology For Treating Peripheral Neuropathy Called
Neuro-Analgesia
Neuro-Analgesia, sometimes referred to as Electronic Signal Treatment, is a patented, innovative
treatment modality that utilizes a modulated and
attenuated pulsed electronic signal (current) that
can substantially reduce or even possibly eliminate
– the burning, sharp pain and associated numbness and tingling of PN!
So, How Does Neuro-Analgesia Work?
Neuro-Analgesia, or electronic signal treatment,
Who Should Call For A
Qualifying Assessment?
uses a modulated electronic signal that pulses
very rapidly, firing off very short micro-bursts of
current that effectively “overrides” pain receptors.
The attenuated current or signal penetrates deeply
through and across both nerve-endings and affected muscles and other associated tissues, producing
profound physiological changes, such as reduced
swelling and inflammation. Micro-circulation is
increased and pain levels can drop dramatically
after just a few treatments!
The physiological changes are triggered by the
electronic signal or current, making this a true
healing modality. Neuro-Analgesia or electronic
signal treatment does not require the use of drugs
or surgery; side effects are, for the most part, nonexistent! Most importantly – Neuro-Analgesia
may achieve results faster than other treatment
options!!!
NOTE: This technology is patented,
exclusive technology. This is not available anywhere else in the State of Tennessee. Therefore, space and availability
is extremely limited........
My experience with The Chattanooga Spine
and Nerve Institute
I am a vigorously active 69 year-old- man. For
two years, I have pursued various medical specialists and solutions seeking relief from my agonizing affliction with Neuropathy in my feet. I had
become completely frustrated with the surgical,
pharmacological and exercise therapies that were
prescribed for me. “Masking” the pain, burning
and numbness we not acceptable solutions.
All that changed when I was introduced to Dr.
Wall and The Chattanooga Spine and Nerve Institute. The integrated regimen of Neuroanalgesic,
lower extremity circulatory massage and cold laser,
combined with a carefully crafted combination of
nutritional supplementation and life style management, have resulted in an extraordinary improvement in my condition. My overall improvements in comfort and physical agility have been
nothing short of amazing. I have experienced
dramatically reduced pain and burning, improved
balance and agility, and gained a level of recovery
I never thought possible. The staffs at the clinic
are simply incredible. I am deeply indebted to the
professional doctors and staff at The Chattanooga
Spine and Nerve Institute.
-William J. Bunnell; ARRT, MS Radiological
Sciences, CRA, Executive Director of Medical
Imaging (Retired), Chattanooga, TN.
Since coming to The Chattanooga Spine and
Nerve Institute for treatment for neuropathy in
my feet and legs, I have experienced wonderful results with the hot burning pain in my right leg. It
was horrible pain, almost to the point of stopping
almost all of my activities that involved walking.
Now with the treatment most of the pain is gone
• If you’ve had severe peripheral neuropathy (diabetic or otherwise) for at least six months, and
nothing has helped
• If you’re over the age of 65
• If you have tried just about everything and anything and nothing seems to help
• If you’re practically at the end of your rope, and
out of other options
Who Should Not Call?
• Do not call us if you are under the age of 60 (we
have to reserve this technology for the “worst of
the worst”
• Please do not call if your problem is not very

If any of these problems or concerns are creating
a situation where the quality of your life is being
compromised, then you need to pay close attention to what we’re telling you in this article.
Isn’t it sad to otherwise feel so alive and full of
vigor, but not be able to fully participate in life
because the pain, tingling, and numbness is so
pervasive, so intruding – and so unfair? Don’t
you sometimes feel downright angry that these
symptoms have appeared – and won’t go away?? If
you do, it’s only normal. After all, who wants to
be burdened with carrying a load of pain, and live
life through an all-encom-passing fog of discomfort? Pain that’s always there, always reminding
you of its presence. Always raising its ugly head,
no matter how hard you try to ignore it. It’s
always there – sitting in your recliner. Going to
the store. Playing golf with friends, or just trying
to get some much-needed sleep and rest at night.
Anything you do is accompanied by the sharp
pain, tingling, and the numbness.

FDA wants cancer warnings on tanning beds
promote indoor tanning. And
regulators are also proposing
that manufacturers to meet
certain safety and design features, including timers and
limits on radiation emitted.
The government action
is aimed at curbing cases
of melanoma, the deadliest
form of skin cancer, which
have been on the rise for
about 30 years. An estimated 2.3 million U.S. teenagers tan indoors each year,
and melanoma is the second most common form of
cancer among young adults,
according to the American
Academy of Dermatology.
Recent studies have shown
that the risk of melanoma is
75 percent higher in people
who have been exposed to
ultraviolet radiation from
indoor tanning. While most
cases are diagnosed in people in their 40s and 50s, the
disease is linked to sun exposure at a young age.
Physician groups have been
urging the U.S. government to
take action on tanning beds
for years, citing increases in
the number of cases of skin
cancer among people in their
teens and 20s.
“As a dermatologist I see
the consequences of indoor
tanning. I have to diagnose
too many young people with
melanoma and see the grief
that it causes to these families,” said Dr. Mary Maloney
of the American Academy of
Dermatology, on a call with
FDA officials. Maloney said
the FDA action is an important first step, but that her
group would continue to
push for a ban on the sale
and use of tanning beds for
people under age 18.

A box of preserved cicadas, including emerging insects and molted exoskeletons, is
shown at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum Support Center in Camp Springs, Md.
Cicadas invasion imminent
WASHINGTON — Any
day now, billions of cicadas
with bulging red eyes will
crawl out of the earth after 17
years underground and overrun the East Coast. They will
arrive in such numbers that
people from North Carolina
to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1.
Maybe more.
But ominous as that
sounds — along with scientists’ horror-movie name
for the infestation, Brood II
— they’re harmless. These
insects won’t hurt you or
other animals. At worst, they
might damage a few saplings
or young shrubs. Mostly they
will blanket certain pockets
of the region, though lots of
people won’t ever see them.
“It’s not like these hordes
of cicadas suck blood or
zombify people,” says May
Berenbaum, a University of
Illinois entomologist.
They’re looking for just
one thing: sex. And they’ve
been waiting quite a long
time.
Since 1996, this group
of 1-inch bugs, in wingless
nymph form, has been a few
feet underground, sucking on
tree roots and biding their
time. They will emerge only
when the ground temperature reaches precisely 64
degrees. After a few weeks
up in the trees, they will die
and their offspring will go
underground, not to return
until 2030.
“It’s just an amazing
accomplishment,” Berenbaum says. “How can anyone
not be impressed?”
And they will make a big
racket, too. The noise all the
male cicadas make when
they sing for sex can drown
out your own thoughts, and
maybe even rival a rock concert. In 2004, Gene Kritsky,
an entomologist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in
Cincinnati, measured cicadas at 94 decibels, saying it
was so loud “you don’t hear
planes flying overhead.”
There are ordinary cicadas that come out every year
around the world, but these
are different. They’re called
magicicadas — as in magic
— and are red-eyed. And
these magicicadas are seen
only in the eastern half of the
United States, nowhere else
in the world.
There are 15 U.S. broods
that emerge every 13 or 17
years, so that nearly every
year, some place is overrun. Last year it was a small
area, mostly around the Blue
Ridge Mountains of Virginia,
West Virginia and Tennessee. Next year, two places
get hit: Iowa into Illinois and
Missouri; and Louisiana and
Mississippi. And it’s possible
to live in these locations and
actually never see them.
This year’s invasion,
Brood II, is one of the bigger
ones. Several experts say that
they really don’t have a handle on how many cicadas are
lurking underground but that
30 billion seems like a good
estimate. At the Smithsonian
Institution, researcher Gary
Hevel thinks it may be more
like 1 trillion.
Even if it’s merely 30 billion, if they were lined up
head to tail, they’d reach the
moon and back.
WASHINGTON — A
team of U.S. special forces
ready to head to Benghazi,
Libya, after the assault on the
American diplomatic mission
had ended was told to stand
down, according to a former
top diplomat.
Gregory Hicks also told
Republicans on the House
Oversight and Government
Reform Committee that if the
U.S. military had flown aircraft
over the Benghazi facility after it
came under siege it might have
prevented the second attack on
the CIA annex that killed two
CIA security officers.
Excerpts of the interview
with the former deputy chief in
Libya were released Monday in
advance of Hicks’ testimony on
Wednesday before the panel.
The Sept. 11 assault killed
Ambassador Chris Stevens and
three other Americans. Nearly
eight months later, Republicans
insist that the Obama administration is guilty of a cover-up
of the events despite a scathing independent report that
faulted the State Department
for inadequate security at the
diplomatic mission.
Hicks’ comments and the
hearing are likely to revive the
politically charged debate in
which GOP lawmakers and
outside groups have faulted
former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible
presidential candidate in 2016.
After the first word of the
attack in Benghazi, a sevenmember security team, including two military personnel,
flew from Tripoli to Benghazi.
Upon their arrival, they learned
that Stevens was missing and
the situation had calmed after
the first attack, according to
a Pentagon timeline released
last year.
Meanwhile, a second team
was preparing to leave on a
Libyan C-130 cargo plane from
Tripoli to Benghazi when Hicks
said he learned from the Libyan prime minister that Stevens
was dead. The Libyan military
agreed to transport additional
U.S. personnel to Benghazi on
its cargo plane, but Hicks complained the special forces were
told not to make the trip.
“They were told not to
board the flight, so they missed
it,” Hicks told GOP committee
staff.
That flight arrived well after
the second attack on the CIA
annex that killed two security
officers — Tyrone Woods and
Glen Doherty.
Hicks also contended that if
the U.S. military had scrambled
jet fighters after the first attack
that it would have prevented
the mortar attack on the CIA
annex around 5:15 a.m.
“I believe the Libyans
would have split. They would
have been scared to death that
we would have gotten a laser
on them and killed them,”
Hicks said, according to the
excerpts.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama took his
congressional outreach effort
to the green on Monday, playing a round of golf with a
bipartisan trio of senators.
On the first green, Obama
put his arm around Sen. Bob
Corker, the Tennessee Republican.
He shared his golf cart with
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Republican from Georgia and joked
with Democrat Sen. Mark
Udall of Colorado.
Obama hasn’t had much
luck schmoozing GOP lawmakers in the past, but he gave
it another go Monday afternoon by inviting two of the
Senate’s best Republican golfers out for a round at Andrews
Air Force Base.
Under overcast skies, the
three chatted casually with
Obama, wearing a windbreaker and baseball cap. They putted on the first green before
leaving the view of reporters
on a pair of golf carts.
The afternoon outing added
a recreational twist to Obama’s
months-long effort to strengthen ties with lawmakers, hoping some quality face time
now can lay the groundwork
for compromise on pressing
issues down the road.
“He’s looking for partners
anywhere he can find them
— including on the 8th hole,”
said White House press secretary Jay Carney.
The White House and
Democrats are working to
secure support for an immigration overhaul — especially
from Republicans.
“With the major fiscal
issues our country is facing,
not to mention foreign relations issues around the world,
anytime you can get the president’s ear for a few hours,
I think that’s a good thing,”
Corker said in a statement
issued by his office.
Obama could have his hands
full on the golf course. All three
of the senators who golfed
Monday with Obama were
ranked among the top 40 on
Golf Digest’s 2011 list of “Washington’s Top 150 Golfers.”
Golf Digest ranked Corker
and Chambliss among the top
golfers in Congress in its 2011
review. Udall was ranked the
best golfer in Congress by the
magazine in that review.
Chambliss aced the 11th
hole and said, “We had a
delightful day of golf with
folks who enjoy playing the
game.”

conducted by dermatologists
at the Washington University School of Medicine in

“They don’t have to provide any data in advance
before they go on the market, so we have no way of

Pakistan
Islamist
rally bomb
kills 16
Syrian
rebels say
shot down
helicopter
PARACHINAR, Pakistan — A
bomb blast tore through a political
rally held by an Islamist party in
northwest Pakistan Monday, in an
attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban that killed 16 people and underscored an increase in violence ahead
of the May 11 vote.
The explosion, at a rally held in the
village of Sewak in the northwest Kurram tribal area, was the latest attack
on candidates, political offices and
election-related events as the vote
approaches. Much of the violence is
believed to have been carried out by
the Taliban against three liberal and
secular parties. But Monday’s blast
targeted a gathering of the Jamiat
Ulema-e-Islam party which generally has a more favorable relationship
with the militant group.
The bomb, which was apparently
planted near the main stage of the
rally, killed 16 and left 44 wounded,
said Umar Khan, a doctor at the nearby Sada hospital where many of the
wounded were initially taken.
Two party leaders who were speaking at the event escaped unharmed.
About 2,500 people had gathered
at a local religious school to hear the
candidates speak, said one man who
was in the crowd, Sabir Gul. The massive explosion came just as one of the
candidates ended his speech and was
leaving the stage, he said.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party is
considered supportive of the Afghan
Taliban’s fight against the United
States and its allies in neighboring
Afghanistan. It’s also sympathetic
to the Pakistani Taliban, which have
been fighting Pakistani troops and
would like to establish a hardline
Islamic government in Pakistan.
The group’s leaders have generally
opposed the Pakistani military’s operations against militants in the tribal
region and instead called for negotiating with the militants.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, right, talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, left, during a
meeting at the Zhongnanhai compound in Beijing on Monday.
China hosting Mideast leaders
BEIJING — China is hosting
both the Palestinian and Israeli leaders this week in a sign of its desire
for a larger role in the Middle East.
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas was welcomed by his Chinese
counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on
Monday, as Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu began a visit to
the eastern financial hub of Shanghai. Netanyahu is due in Beijing on
Wednesday following Abbas’ departure a day earlier.
China’s Foreign Ministry said last
week it would be willing to help set
up a meeting between Abbas and
Netanyahu if the two men wanted.
Talks between the Israeli and Palestinian sides have been deadlocked
for four years and there was no indication a meeting would take place.
China has traditionally maintained a low profile in Middle East
diplomacy, but in recent years has
tried to play a more active role in
the region as part of its quest for
markets, resources and diplomatic
influence. Beijing has sought stable
relations with both sides in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, but Israel’s
weekend airstrike on a Syrian military complex created a turbulent
start to China’s diplomatic foray.
Asked by reporters about play-
ing host to Netanyahu following
the airstrike, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying
avoided criticizing Israel by name
but said, “We oppose the use of
force and believe any country’s sovereignty should be respected.”
Still, Hua reiterated that China’s
hosting the two leaders should be
positive for promoting regional
peace. “China thinks it is of great
significance to help facilitate the
Middle East peace process, and
would like to make positive and constructive efforts in helping resume
peace talks between Palestine and
Israel,” Hua said at a daily media
briefing in Beijing.
Meeting with Xi at the Great Hall
of the People, the seat of China’s legislature, Abbas reviewed the history
of their relations stretching back to
the 1960s and said the two sides
shared the “same views on many
world problems.”
“I appreciate China’s high
position in the world nowadays,”
Abbas said in opening remarks at
the meeting, which was followed
by the signing of agreements on
technical cooperation and cultural
exchanges.
China recognized the Palestinian
state in 1988, four years before establishing diplomatic ties with Israel.
In an interview with China’s official Xinhua News Agency last week,
Abbas said he wanted to involve
China more in the Middle East
peace process, and said the dual
visits would offer a “good opportunity for the Chinese to listen to
both of us.”
China is a major customer for
Israeli know-how, from high-technology to agriculture, engineering
and military hardware and services,
including the training of Chinese
security forces and purchase of
unmanned aerial vehicles.
After touring a high-tech industrial park, Netanyahu spoke to
Israeli and Chinese business leaders in Shanghai. He paid tribute to
Shanghai’s role as a haven for European Jews fleeing the Holocaust, and
then touted the potential for future
cooperation combining Israel’s
high-tech know-how with China’s
manufacturing heft.
“We have 8 million residents,
approximately one-third the population of Shanghai. But we manufacture
more intellectual property than any
other country in the world in relation
to its size. If we create a partnership
between Israel’s inventive capability
and China’s manufacturing capability, we will have a winning combination,” Netanyahu said.
BEIRUT — Syrian rebels said
Monday that they had shot down a
government helicopter in the east
of the country, killing eight security
troops, as new accusations emerged
that insurgents seeking to overthrow
President Bashar Assad may have used
an illegal nerve agent in the country’s
grinding civil war. The rebels denied
the assertion.
Before the weekend, a key question
defining outside attitudes about the
more than two-year-old conflict was
whether chemical weapons had been
used, which could draw Western powers more directly into the war. President
Barack Obama has said he would intervene only if Syria has used chemical
weapons or if such use is imminent.
But there have been separate claims
that chemical weapons have been used
by the insurgents, who are supported
by many Western and some Arab
nations.
In an interview over the weekend
with Swiss-Italian television, Carla Del
Ponte, one of the leading figures in
a Geneva-based U.N. commission of
inquiry, said there were strong suspicions that the rebels seeking Assad’s
overthrow had themselves used sarin,
a nerve agent, but there was no “incontrovertible proof” that they had.
But a statement that the commission of inquiry released later in Geneva qualified Del Ponte’s assertions,
emphasizing “that it has not reached
conclusive findings as to the use of
chemical weapons in Syria by any parties to the conflict.”
The United States also cast some
doubt on Del Ponte’s assertions.
George Little, a Pentagon spokesman,
declined to comment on them directly
but told reporters in Washington: “It’s
our very strong belief, based on what
we know, that at this stage, if chemical
weapons were used, the Syrian regime
would be responsible.”
Putin protesters drop in number, enthusiasm MOM RINGS
MOSCOW — About
20,000 protesters thronged
Bolotnaya Square across from
the Kremlin on Monday, a
year after a protest at the
same spot turned violent on
the eve of President Vladimir
Putin’s inauguration.
Monday’s turnout — far
less than the 100,000 or more
who marched through Moscow with giddy optimism
ahead of Putin’s election to a
third term — reflected a wariness that has sapped energy
from the protest movement.
As a result of last year’s
protest, 27 people face charges that could send them to
prison for up to 10 years.
In the biggest show of
opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin since
last May, thousands of demonstrators gathered Monday
near the Kremlin to demand
an immediate release of all
political prisoners and new
presidential and parliamentary elections.
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny speaks during
a major protest rally in Bolotnaya Square in Moscow on
Monday as his wife listens.
“We have spent a year in
deep defense,” opposition
leader Alexei Yashin told the
crowd Monday. “It is high
time we shift to a counteroffensive, and we will win back
Moscow and then the entire
country!”
This time, the rally ended
peacefully, if ominously. With
police helicopters hovering low under leaden skies,
protesters scattered to find
thousands of riot police and
Interior Ministry troops lining every adjacent street and
surrounding Red Square and
the Kremlin.
In the year between the
two gatherings, the Kremlin has been steadily cracking down on the opposition.
Twenty-seven political activists, 12 of them in jail, are
under investigation for allegedly organizing riots funded
from abroad.
In addition, prosecutors
have brought embezzlement
charges against the most
popular and charismatic
of the opposition leaders,
Alexei Navalny, who nonetheless appeared at the rally,
arriving to massive cheers
and applause as he climbed
onstage with his wife, Yulia.
In a fiery speech, Navalny
gave the crowd a new rallying
cry by calling Putin “a thieving, corrupt hypocrite” — a
phrase that was immediately
taken up and chanted.
If found guilty on charges
of embezzling about $500,000
from an obscure regional
timber company, Navalny
could go to prison for up to
10 years.

Libya militias standing firm despite new law
some still remained outside
the Justice and Foreign Ministry buildings, where several
raised signs demanding the
resignation of Prime Minister
Ali Zidan.
Days ahead of the vote
on the law, militias had also
banned government employees at both buildings from
work.
The prime minister, who
was a member of Libya’s first
freely elected parliament
before being chosen by fel-
low liberal lawmakers to lead
the government, has been in
a confrontation with militias
for months.
The continued siege of
government buildings highlights Zidan’s inability to
rein in the armed groups and
exposes the many obstacles
the North African nation faces
in rebuilding its weak central
government.
Zidan’s options, though,

White House: Assad likely behind chemical arms use
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON — The
White House asserted Monday that it’s highly likely
that Syrian President Bashar
Assad’s regime, not the rebel
opposition, was behind any
chemical weapons use in
Syria. Responding to weekend airstrikes in Syria, the
White House also reiterated
its view that Israel has the
right to protect itself against
weapons that could pose a
threat to Israelis.
White House spokesman
Jay Carney says there is certainly evidence that chemical weapons have been used
in Syria. And on Sunday, a
member of a U.N. panel
investigating events in Syria
said there were indications
that rebel forces had used the
nerve agent sarin.
But Carney questioned
that claim.
“We are highly skeptical of suggestions that the
opposition could have or did
use chemical weapons,” he
said. “We find it highly likely
that any chemical weapon
use that has taken place in
Syria was done by the Assad
regime. And that remains our
position.”
Carney’s comments came
as Syria remained one of the
most high-profile issues confronting the administration.
Air strikes over the weekend
on alleged Hezbollah-bound
weapons in Syria and the sta-
tus of chemical weapons use
kept the country’s civil war
at the forefront. Lebanon’s
Hezbollah militia is an ally of
Syria and foe of Israel.
The weekend airstrike on
a military complex near the
Syrian capital of Damascus
killed at least 42 Syrian soldiers, a group of anti-regime
activists said Monday, citing
information from military
hospitals.
The Israeli government
has not formally confirmed
cern and a threat to Israel,
and they have the right to act
in their own sovereign interest on ... in response to those
concerns.”
Asked whether the U.S.

‘3D-printed’ handgun test
successful, student says
Syria
• Continued from Page A1
Since the uprising in Syria
began in March 2011, Israel
has carefully avoided taking
sides.
At the same time, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly declared
a series of red lines that
could trigger Israeli military
intervention, including the
delivery of “game-changing”
weapons to Hezbollah.
The first test of this policy came in January when
an Israeli airstrike in Syria
destroyed a shipment of
advanced anti-aircraft missiles bound for Hezbollah,
according to U.S. officials.
Israel and Hezbollah
fought an inconclusive
monthlong war in 2006 and
are bitter enemies.
When Israeli intelligence determined last week
that sophisticated Iranianmade Fateh-110 missiles had
entered Syria, the military
prepared to strike again.
Although Israel has not
officially confirmed the operation, a senior official said a
first airstrike at a Damascus
airport early Friday destroyed
most of the shipment, while
a series of subsequent airstrikes on nearby locations
Sunday took out the remnants of the missiles. The
that it carried out the air
strikes Friday and Sunday,
and Carney referred specific
questions about the strikes
to Israel.
“Israel certainly has the
right to be concerned about
the transfer of sophisticated weapons to Hezbollah,”
Carney said. “And that has
been a concern of Israel’s
for a long time. The transfer
of sophisticated weapons to
terrorist organizations like
Hezbollah is certainly a con-

official spoke on condition
of anonymity because he was
not authorized to discuss a
covert military mission.
Residents in Damascus
said they felt and heard several huge blasts before dawn
Sunday. Radwan Midani, a 25year-old office assistant, said
he “saw the sky light up.”
Midani and others in the
Syrian capital said they were
more concerned about random mortar attacks by the
rebels on their areas than
Israeli strikes.
The rebels’ weapons are
less accurate than Israeli missiles, said Fadi, a 29-year-old
businessman who would not
give his last name for fear of
repercussions for talking to
the foreign media.
While also less concerned
about the Israeli strikes, “it’s
very disgusting to have the
Israeli mess around with our
country’s sovereignty,” he
said in a phone interview.
Assad’s regime has tried
to portray the rebels as traitors engaged in a foreign-led
conspiracy. Syrian officials
stepped up those claims after
Sunday’s strikes, alleging the
opposition is cooperating
with Israel.
The Israeli attacks pose a
problem for those trying to
topple Assad because ordinary Syrians might be convinced that there is something to the regime claims,
said Elizabeth O’Bagy of the
Institute for the Study of War,
a Washington think tank.
“The idea of the conspiracy of Israel working with
the opposition becomes that
more real,” she said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, an anti-regime group,
said at least 42 Syrian soldiers were killed in Sunday’s
strike, citing information
from military hospitals.
AUSTIN, Texas — A University of Texas law school
student says a gun made with
3D-printed technology was
successfully fired this weekend in Central Texas.
There are claims the 3Dprinted handgun is the first
weapon of its kind, and this
past weekend marked the
first successful test of its
kind.
Cody Wilson, the 25-yearold director and co-founder
of Defense Distributed, the
online collective managing
the Wiki Weapon Project,
said the successful tests of
the guns, largely comprised
of plastic, were well documented.
“It behaved exactly as
we expected it would,” Wilson said of the 3D-printed
handgun. Wilson told the
American-Statesman he was
“positive and optimistic” following the tests. But “there’s
work to be done.” Wilson
said the weapon was fired
successfully from an aluminum frame on Friday and
by hand Saturday on private
property in Lockhart.
Wilson’s Defense Distributed website shows a video
of the tests, and he said two
members of the national and
international media were
present during the demonstrations. BBC News and
Forbes both reported the
successful tests.
BBC News said 3D printing has been hailed as the
future of manufacturing.
“The technology works by
building up layer upon layer
of material — typically plastic — to build complex solid
objects,” the outlet reported.
“The idea is that as the printers become cheaper, instead
of buying goods from shops,
consumers will instead be
able to download designs
and print out the items at
home.”
The second-year law
school student drew attention last year when he found
himself at the center of a
legal controversy after the
3-D printing company that
allowed him to borrow a
printer a day later sent a team
of contractors to reclaim its
property at Wilson’s central
Austin apartment.
At the time, Wilson said
the project was on hold.
For legal experts and law
enforcement officials, the
endeavor falls under a new
frontier of the law.
By Mark Landler
New York Times News Service
The main argument for
greater American involvement in Syria, why President Barack Obama has been
reluctant so far, and how
Israeli airstrikes may alter
the calculus.
Q: What is the main
argument of advocates for
greater American involvement in Syria?
A: Supporters of intervention argue that the United
States and its allies have an
obligation both to buttress
the fortunes of the rebels and
to protect innocent civilians
from the escalating bloodshed. Since fighting erupted
in March 2011, more than
70,000 Syrian civilians are
estimated to have died in the
conflict.
Two Republican senators,
John McCain of Arizona and
Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina, advocate providing the rebels with lethal
weaponry, enforcing no-fly
zones to create humanitarian corridors for refugees,
and carrying out offshore
airstrikes to degrade Syria’s
air force.
Q: Why has Obama been
reluctant so far?
A: Obama, who opened
his 2008 bid for the White
House with his opposition
to what he called a “dumb
war” in Iraq, is deeply skeptical that American military
involvement will resolve
a Syrian civil war that has
grown increasingly sectarian.
Though he is more open
to arming the rebels than
he was before reports that
President Bashar Assad
used chemical weapons, he
continues to doubt that this
would alter the equation
on the ground. The president is also wary of arming
rebel groups, given that an
increasing number of them
are tied to radical Islamist
groups, including al-Qaida.
And aside from hawks like
McCain, there is little appetite for another Middle East
war, either on Capitol Hill or
among the public.
Q: How will Israel’s
recent airstrikes on Syria
influence Obama?
A: It is not clear. The
Israelis were responding to
a different threat, in the form
of weapons being sent to the
Islamic militant group Hezbollah. But the Israeli attacks
also sent Assad a strong message of deterrence about
using his chemical weapons,
which Israelis say pose a particular threat to them.
The success of Israeli jets
in striking Syrian targets
could undermine a major
argument of those opposed
to American military action:
that Syria’s air defenses are
so robust that it would be
very difficult to mount an air
campaign like that in Libya.
Q: Will Israel’s airstrikes transform Syria’s
civil war into a regional
conflagration?
A: Syria has threatened
Israel with unspecif ied
retaliation for the attacks,
though Israeli and American
officials doubt that Assad,
consumed with his own
battle for survival, will do
more than issue public condemnations.
Still, the strikes underscore that the Syrian conflict is already international:
Israel’s military was targeting
weapons from Iran that were
being funneled through Syria
to Hezbollah.

RALEIGH, N.C. — North
Carolina authorities are
accusing a couple of using
zip ties to bind their 4-yearold daughter’s wrists and
ankles to a baby gate.
Raleigh police say 26year-old Gerald Thomas
Swinehart and 28-year-old
Marlaine Victoria Coffey are
accused of tying the child to
a gate with plastic ties normally used by electricians.
They also say Swinehart

Some of those advocates
say imposing any age limit
is too restrictive.
But others are concerned
that making Plan B OneStep more widely available
encourages teens to become
sexually active at younger
and younger ages.
“What is the message we
are sending our kids?” said
Julie Baumgardner, president and CEO of Chattanooga-based family-advocacy organization First
Things First. “I have a hard
time seeing how this is in
the best interest of our children. They may be teenagers, but they are still in their
formative years. Why are
we putting big, life-changing, adult decisions in the
hands of children?”
Some local pharmacists
echo the concern, saying
they are reluctant to change
how they distribute the pill.
Roy Phipps, a pharmacist at Kingwood Pharmacy
in East Ridge, said the store
stocks Plan B One-Step, but
he does not plan to move it
out from behind the counter
anytime soon.
“To me, it’s not something
just anybody and everybody
should have access to,” he
said. “It is a contraceptive
pill.”
He said the store has been
following the debate closely,
saying “it concerns us, and it
concerns our patrons.”
Some local pharmacies
don’t carry the contraceptive.
An employee at Belvoir Pharmacy in Chattanooga said the
store has never carried the
pills, but didn’t say why. At
Signal Mountain Pharmacy,
owner Rick Gallaher says
there just isn’t a market for
it among the age group of his
clientele.
“It’s not strictly a moral
issue — I’ve just never had
demand for it,” he said. “I can
see both sides of the dilemma, though.”
National retailers have
not been precise about their
plans or timelines for bringing Plan B One-Step out from
behind pharmacy counters,
saying they are waiting on

Prison
Alexander, R-Tenn., said in a
statement over the weekend.
“I have yet to hear one good
reason why moving these
terrorists from off our shores
right into the heart of our
country makes us safer.”
Only U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, a Tennessean and the top
Republican on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, kept the door open to
Obama’s idea in a carefully
worded statement.
“While the administration has yet to submit a plan
for closing Guantanamo to
Congress, if an acceptable
alternative is presented that
allows us to lawfully detain
and question terrorist combatants without undermining U.S. security or putting
our criminal justice system
at risk, I would be open to
looking at that,” the former
Chattanooga mayor said.
That flexibility is new. On
at least two occasions, Alexander, Corker and Republican senators from Alabama
and Georgia have hindered
efforts to close Guantanamo.
In 2009, they voted to cut
from a war spending bill $80
million requested by Obama
to close the detention center and to bar the transfer
of detainees to the United
States and its territories. As
a whole, the Senate voted the
Southerners’ way 90-6.
More recently, in November of last year, the tri-state
sextet voted to bar the
transfer of Guantanamo
Bay detainees to the United
States. The Senate voted 5441 to prohibit such transfers
for another year.
Some House Republicans are just as adamantly
opposed as their Senate colleagues. In a recent newsletter to constituents, U.S. Rep.
Jimmy Duncan, a Knoxville
Republican, said Guantanamo detainees “are not U.S.
citizens and should not be
given the same rights and
privileges as if they were.”
“I do not support any plan
for these prisoners that puts
them on U.S. soil,” Duncan
wrote.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Mar-
PILL POLITICS
The Food and Drug
Administration’s decision
in 2011 not to make Plan
B One-Step available to
girls younger than 17 was
hotly criticized as a political
move in the presidential
campaign season. In April,
a federal judge ordered
the FDA to label the drug
as available to all girls and
women of reproductive
ages. The drug is produced
by Teva Women’s Health
Inc. The FDA says its recent
decision to make Plan B
One-Step more widely
available is separate from
the April order. It is unclear
how the FDA’s decision
will affect the Justice
Department’s decision to
appeal the judge’s ruling
by the Monday deadline.
While it is often confused
with the “abortion pill,” the
FDA and other researchers
have long insisted the
morning-after pill will not
end an existing pregnancy
or harm a developing fetus.
It can prevent ovulation
or fertilization of an egg if
taken soon after sex. Some
critics say that using the
pill is a gray moral area if
it prevents a fertilized egg
from attaching to the uterus.

Walgreens released a
statement last week about the
contraceptive, saying, “We are
working with the manufacturer of Plan B on packaging
and other issues related to the
FDA’s new guidance.”
Target also said it was
awaiting cues from government regulators and the drug
company.
“We’ll align our practices
to ensure we’re compliant
with federal and state laws
and regulations,” said Target
spokeswoman Jessica Deede.
“However, I don’t have anything to share about specific

Tennessee is among 15
states with the highest teen
birth rates, according to the
National Center for Health

rate was in Mississippi, with
55 births per 1,000 teen girls.

sha Blackburn drew parallels
to current events.
“The president needs to
realize that the Global War
on Terrorism did not end
with the killing of Osama
bin Laden,” the Brentwood
Republican said in a statement. “The Boston bombing is a sharp reminder that
there is still a clear and present threat to our American
way of life from those that
mean us harm.”
Political concerns have
discouraged even Obama’s
allies from endorsing his
plans to do away with Guantanamo, which houses a few
9/11 plotters. Tennessee’s pair
of congressional Democrats,
U.S. Reps. Jim Cooper, of
Nashville, and Steve Cohen,
of Memphis, did not respond
to requests for comment on
Obama’s proposals.
Experts say Republican
opposition likely will prevent Obama from getting
Congress to accede to his
Guantanamo proposals. But
at Thursday’s news conference, the president said he
would also do “everything
we can do administratively”
to shut down the prison.
“This is a lingering problem that is not going to get
better,” he said. “It’s going to
get worse. It’s going to fester.”

Georgia’s rate was 41.4, data
show.
A 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found the majority of Hamilton County high
schoolers are sexually experienced, with nearly half
of the students having had
sexual intercourse.
That survey also found
that 53 percent of female
high school students in the
county have had a sexual
experience.
That’s why Bea Lurie,
president and CEO of Girls
Inc. of Chattanooga., says
“it’s important to educate
girls on effective methods
of disease prevention and
contraception so that if they
do engage in sexual activity, they can protect themselves from pregnancy and
disease.”
Still, Girls Inc. — which
offers education and enrichment programs for girls
between 6 and 19 — has not
taken a position on emergency contraception, Lurie
said.
“Parents are the first and
most important educators of
their daughters,” Lurie said
in an email. “We believe that
girls have the right to comprehensive, age appropriate
resources and information
and know that if we equip
them with the facts and
knowledge, they will make
healthy choices in line with
their personal and career
goals.”
Both Girls Inc. and First
Things First say they encourage young people to choose
abstinence as the best means
for developing healthy relationships and achieving
long-term goals. And both
say parents need to be proactive about providing their
children with clear, accurate
information about sex.
Girls Inc.’s sex education
curriculum, Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy, not only
focuses on reproductive
anatomy, but also addresses
factors like media and peer
pressure, self-esteem issues,
personal values and boundaries, and assertiveness — all
which have bearing on girls’
views of sex, Lurie said.

GOP SPLITS OVER
ONLINE SALES TAX
Tax
That argument helped
the bill pass despite opposition from Cruz, Sen. Marco
Rubio, R-Fla. and other young
conservatives who staunchly
opposed what they said constitutes a new tax.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.,
and the Republican quartet
from Alabama and Georgia
joined Alexander in supporting the bill. In all, 21 Republicans voted in favor while 22
opposed.
Across the aisle, an unlikely Alexander ally — Senate Majority Whip Richard
Durbin, the chamber’s No.
2 Democrat — thanked the
former Tennessee governor,
adding that tabling the bill
would hurt brick-and-mortar
retailers that already must
collect sales tax at the cash
register.
Durbin said only one in 20
Illinois residents obey current
law and self-report sales taxes
on Internet purchases.
“It’s a tax that some people
are paying and other people
aren’t, even though they owe
it,” Alexander added.
Lawmakers from several
states that don’t have sales tax
— Alaska, Delaware, Montana,
New Hampshire and Oregon
— objected to the fact that businesses may be required to chase
down sales tax rates “thousands
and thousands of miles away,”
as Sen. Ron Wyden put it.
“This steers the Internet
toward a dangerous path,” the
Oregon Democrat said.
But again and again, supporters pointed to language
within the 11-page bill that
requires states to provide
free tax-calculation software
to online retailers. Alexander
compared the software’s userfriendliness to “looking up the
weather on the computer.”
As expected, trade groups
representing brick-and-mortar retailers praised Senate
passage.

customers on many different levels, ... but they cannot compete on sales tax,”

In a new study published

years old. The researchers were
specifically looking for allergyprone babies, and 80 percent of
the sample group had at least
one parent with allergies.
In the first six months of
the babies’ life, 74 percent of
them used a pacifier. Almost
all the parents of pacifiersucking babies said they used
tap water to clean the pacifier.
Half of the parents said they
also boiled them, and another
half said they popped dirty
pacifiers in their own mouth
before handing them back to

At an 18-month check-up,
the researchers found that the
babies whose parents sucked
their pacifiers to clean them
were 63 percent less likely to

less likely to have asthma compared with those whose parents did not clean their pacifiers that way.

ince the tornadoes
of April 2011, many
people in Chattanooga and the surrounding
areas have found themselves putting together
emergency kits, building
storm shelters and coming up with family emergency plans to be ready
for whatever may happen.
With the idea in mind of
being ready for anything,
Reliable Heating and Air
Conditioning offers standby generators.
“People like the peace
of mind that having your
own ‘power plant’ provides,” said David Cornell, vice president of
the
second-generation
family-owned local business. “They can be used
to power the whole house
or selected circuits like
heating and air conditioning, lights and the kitchen
circuits.”
A standby generator is
a backup power supply
that turns on automatically within seconds of a
power loss, he explained.
With most standby generators there are no switches to throw, and they can
restore power automatically whether the owner
is home or not.
“They differ greatly
from the more popular portable type in that
they are a permanent fixture on the outside of the
home, much like a heating
and cooling unit,” Cornell
said. “Another benefit to
the standby generator is
that it is fueled by natural gas or propane, so the
fuel source is plentiful to
withstand long power outages and there is no need
to store gasoline, as is the
case with most portabletype generators.”
Reliable
specializes
primarily in residential
installations of the generators but also services
commercial buildings. In

Justin Tabor — the
Hamilton County deputy
sheriff who bought beer
for teenagers — still has a
job. Thousands of recession-hit people don’t, but
this guy does.
For the life of me, I
can’t understand why.
Every bartender or waitress for miles would have
been fired

states.
It’s double-wrong
because the guy had a
badge, which means he’s
supposed to act above the
law. Miles, miles above
the law.
It’s triple-wrong
because the four teenagers he drank Bud Light
with were in the Explorers, a well-intentioned
program that lets kids
ride along with cops on
patrol.
It’s quadruple-wrong
because, according to an
internal affairs investigation, Tabor shared a bed,
but did not have sex, with
one of the teenagers, the
report found. According
to this teenager, there was
no sexual contact between
her and Tabor until she
was 18, the report states.
So why did he get a
punishment that seems
lighter than the beer he
was handing out?
“I wouldn’t say it was
light,” Hamilton County
Sheriff Jim Hammond
said.
Hammond suspended
Tabor’s pay for 132 hours,
put him on probation for
a year, removed his duties
as a patrol officer and
reassigned him as a correctional officer, which
means he works in the jail

City chicken ordinance
getting calls to slow down
WHAT’S NEXT
Hamilton County
Schools officials
will present their
budget to county
commissioners on
Thursday at 1 p.m.
Animal Control Board should hear plan first, Berz says Increases
By Cliff Hightower
Staff Writer
Two Chattanooga City Council
members said Monday an ordinance
to allow chickens within city limits
needs to be vetted by the Animal Control Board before the council takes up
the proposal.
“I’m going to ask that it be deferred
to the people it should go to first,”
Councilwoman Carol Berz said. “That’s
why we appointed them.”
The City Council is expected to
discuss and vote on an ordinance that
would allow up to 10 hens per household within Chattanooga city limits.
Nearby Signal Mountain is the only
other municipality in the area that
allows backyard chickens.
Councilman Chris Anderson, who
is sponsoring the proposed ordinance,
said he thinks there should be no problems. He said the Animal Control Board
has no legislative authority and that the
council is the ultimate decider.
“It would still come before the council,” he said.
A Facebook group called Chicken
Legal, made up of more than 400 members, has been pressing for an ordinance change for almost a year. The
council heard arguments for allowing
chickens in the city three years ago, but
the measure ultimately died because
of concerns about health and whether
the McKamey Animal Care & Adoption Center would be able to handle
chickens.
Karen Walsh, McKamey’s executive
director, noted Monday the proper
procedure is to go before the Animal
Control Board first, especially because
the board looks at permit issues for the
city, and the new ordinance would call
for a $50 permit fee.

Man on porch killed;
suspect in custody
By Beth Burger
Staff Writer
Blood splatter still stained
the porch where 20-yearold Wendell Washington
drew his last breaths after
shots were exchanged with
another gunman late Sunday
night, according to Chattanooga police.
Homicide detectives late
Monday said they have a
suspect in custody who is
at a local hospital being
treated for a gunshot wound
he received during the altercation.
The suspect is under 24
hour watch and faces charges of criminal homicide and
possession of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony, police said.
Because of security issues,
the suspect’s name and condition were not released and
he is not allowed any visitors, police said.
Washington was shot
about 11:15 p.m. at 3687
Northrop St. in Lupton City.

tion’s evidence was scientific, the judge said.
Arthur Knight III, a Knoxville-based attorney defending McMinn County, argued
that any of the actions taken
by the county’s sheriff deputies didn’t result in any evidence that was used at trial,
therefore Vann’s rights were
not violated.
“I think this conversation
is going on right now with
the person arrested in Boston,” Collier said, referring

County Commissioner
Fred Skillern has a simple
measure for success: Start
with last year’s figure —
and lower it if possible.
“Zero is good; lower
is better,” Skillern said of
budget increases Monday
as commissioners heard
from 40 government officials or nonprofit groups
seeking to gain pieces of
Hamilton County’s 2014
fiscal pie.
Despite Skillern’s sentiments, only 16 of those
petitioning for slices Monday met the veteran commissioner’s standard.
Overall, requests for
those who petitioned came
in $3.4 million higher than
the $63.1 million approved
for the same organizations
in this fiscal year.
The greatest requested
increase came from Sheriff
Jim Hammond. He’s asking
for a combined $31.2 million to cover operations
and capital improvements.
That figure is $2.5 million
higher than the current
budget year. Hammond said
the increase was needed to
replace aging patrol cars,
hire more school resource
officers, add clerk positions
and wrangle rising food
costs at the jail.
Commissioners had no
questions for Hammond
after his presentation.

Judge dismisses $20 million lawsuit against McMinn
By Todd South
Staff Writer
Gussie Vann sued too
late.
On Monday a federal
judge dismissed a $20 million
civil rights lawsuit filed by
Vann against McMinn County, Tenn., for unlawful arrest,
detention and lack of access
to a lawyer that he believes
resulted in a death sentence,
which later was dismissed.
The first hurdle Vann’s
attorney Robin Flores had
to clear — did Vann file his
lawsuit within the one-year

U.S. District Judge Curtis
Collier decided Vann didn’t
get it done in time.
But not before the judge
and Flores bantered for
at least 30 minutes about
Reconstruction, extraordinary rendition and the recent
Boston Marathon bombing
as Flores tried to convince
Collier that he was right.
In an hour and a half
hearing on McMinn County’s request to dismiss the
lawsuit, Collier’s questions
centered on the civil rights
violations claimed by Vann.
Through those questions
Collier slow-walked Flores in
a civics lesson on how Vann
was arrested without probable cause, questioned without a lawyer and released
only to be arrested again and
held for 10 months without a
bond hearing or an attorney
to prepare for his 1994 death
penalty trial.
Flores argued that all of
those violations together
resulted in Vann’s conviction
and death penalty sentence
for the incest, rape and murder of his 8-year-old daughter in 1992.
On appeal a judge ruled
in 2008 that Vann’s conviction was invalid because his
lawyers should have called

defense.

Jack Rector
Jack Conley Rector, our precious husband, daddy, brother
and friend, took his heavenly
flight on Saturday, May 4, 2013.
He was 72.
Jack was born in Chattanooga on Nov. 13, 1940. His parents,
Jackson and
E t h e l Re c tor, lived in
Nashville,
but he was
born prematurely while
his mother
was in Chattanooga on a
trip. At that
time, he was
the smallest baby to ride in an
airplane. When he flew home to
Nashville, he weighed just above
2 pounds.
Jack had one brother, Frank
Rector and wife, Pauline; one
sister, Pat Gentry and husband,
Dan; and special sister-in-law,
Denise Fuston.
Jack served in the Navy from
1960-1961. After returning from
Australia, he met his “true love,”
who lived right next door. He
married Debbie Fuston in 1965.
Having a marriage only most
people dream of, their commitment, love and devotion for
each other was nothing short of
Heaven.
They were married 48 years
and had three children who
were raised in a loving, Christian
home: Fuston Rector and wife,
Sheila, Coy Rector and wife,
Tara, Amber Wasdin and husband, Will. His whole life was
devoted to his family, especially
his grandchildren whom he
adored — Shelby, Abby, Emma,
Brinkley and Adison Rector and
Jackson and Luke Wasdin.
The family home was open
to all. Family meals, trips, holidays, watching the Vols, and just
being together was his greatest
joy. He loved the Lord and loved
listening to the Gaithers, which
he found to be uplifting and
worshipping to his Lord. One
of his greatest gifts from God
was encouragement. Many times
he would make calls to people
he hardly knew with a word of
encouragement and care. He
retired from Chattem Inc. after
35 years of service. He was loved
by everyone who knew him and
his smile and sweetness will
always remain in our hearts. We
so miss you Doey (Do-Do).

May 7, at the North Chapel and

MAY 7, 2010
Before the world had started,
before our lives began,
God assigned us all our
challenges,
some hard things to
withstand.
So you were challenged
with a body that became
broken and quite ill,
but life could never take
from you
a solid, determined will.
You kept your face turned
toward the sunshine, trapped
in a body that only knew rain
and chose to see the joys in
life in spite of constant pain.
And though your body was
often connected to needles
machines and tubes.
you bravely faced each day
with them while expressing
gratitude.
For the chance of simply
being here, though to us it
didn’t seem fair,
to see someone as
special as you suffer in a
body beyond repair.
And though we’ll miss you
deeply,
so cherished and loved were
you. ...
From Father, Mother, Sister,
Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles,
and Cousins.
Happy 70th Birthday
Loved and missed by wife

Each of us were given
some difficult things to do,
but God gave his bravest
warriors an extra burden too
So when you’d honorably
completed every trial you
were assigned, God chose to
bring you back to Him,

Report studies
numbers of child
deaths in Georgia
MACON, Ga. — A state
agency has issued its firstever yearly report on deaths
of children involved in the
child protection system. It
found unusually high numbers of deaths in some parts
of Georgia.
The report by the Georgia Division of Family and
Children Services analyzed
the causes of the deaths and
identified ways the agency
could improve both its prevention and responses to
deaths.
Agency spokeswoman
Susan Boatwright called the
number of deaths in Central and Southwest Georgia
“unusually high” relative to
their populations.
Officials are looking at the
numbers in those parts of the
state and questioning what is
behind them, Boatwright told
The Telegraph.
“We are certainly looking
at those numbers and saying, ‘Hmm. I wonder what’s
going on,’” she said. “We’re
looking very carefully to see
if this is an anomaly or this is
a trend.”
The report covers the
death of every child who
received some kind of service from the Division of
Family and Children Services — even if only assis-
tance with food or day care
— during the previous five
years.
The agency identified
152 of these deaths in 2012,
although only 48 of those
children had open DFCS
cases at the time. Thirteen
were in foster care, and 84
had been the subject of a
prior investigation for abuse
or neglect.
The report analyzed
the causes of the deaths
— including many unrelated
to abuse or neglect — and
sought to identify ways that
DFCS could improve both its
prevention and responses to
deaths.
Children who died in foster care mostly died before
leaving the hospital, or they
died of medical problems
caused by maltreatment
before entering the foster system, according to the report.
Only one case involved suspected maltreatment at the
time of death.
Statewide, 33 percent of
the deaths were deemed
natural, mostly caused by a
pre-existing medical condition or disease. Accidents,
such as fires and drownings,
accounted for 23 percent of
the deaths. Murders caused
18 deaths, or 12 percent of
the total. Six deaths were
suicides.

Michelle Clampit leafs through some of the many letters and notes about her Social
Security problems in Wetumpka, Ala.
29-year-old Social Security
debt stuns Alabama woman
By Scott Johnson
The Montgomery Advertiser
MONTGOMERY, Ala.
— Michelle Clampit expected
financial relief to arrive soon
in the form of an income tax
refund check. She was counting on it, in fact.
It had been a difficult time
recently, and the $5,414 she
was expecting to be deposited Feb. 27 is equal to more
than a quarter of her annual
salary, Clampit said.
But no deposit was made,
and when she checked the
IRS website to find out what
happened, she was referred
to the Social Security Administration.
The Wetumpka resident
said she had no idea she possibly could have owed money
to the SSA. After all, she had
never received a single Social
Security check in her life.
After a visit to a local SSA
office, Clampit began to suspect that her identity had
been stolen.
Eventually, however, the
actual reason for the debt
became clear: Social Security
payments made to her nowdeceased mother 29 years
ago.
The loss of income was
a difficult blow for Clampit,
who said she and her husband
Rebekah Swanger; great-grandchildren, Eli Swanger and Laine
Arp; several nieces and nephews.

live paycheck-to-paycheck
and count on tax refunds to
pay for such things as vacations and extra clothes for
their children.
“Income tax [season] is
kind of like poor people season. That’s when most poor
people do the things in life
that they normally don’t get
to do,” Clampit said.
The tax refund was diverted by way of the Treasury
Offset Program, which until
recently was not authorized
to collect on debts that were
more than 10 years old, SSA
spokesman BJ Jarrett said.
A law passed in 2008
eliminated the 10-year statute of limitations, and in June
2012, the SSA began to inform
people about its intention to
collect those older debts, Jarrett said.
So no matter how old the
overpayments might be, the
SSA can go after those debts
and will continue to have the
ability to collect old debts
without limits.
Clampit’s mother, Alma
Waugh Autery, began receiving Social Security payments
to compensate for her husband’s death in 1973, including payments in the names
of Clampit and her brother,
who was 5 at the time. It was
Autery’s primary method of
supporting them, Clampit
said.
In 1984, when Clampit
was 14 years old, she received
her mother’s permission to
marry her 17-year-old boyfriend, Doug Clampit. The
two remain married today,
29 years later.
Autery apparently continued to receive Social Security
payments in Clampit’s name
although Clampit’s marriage
made her no longer eligible
for the payments.
Clampit said she believes
her mother simply did not
know she was no longer eligible to receive those payments.
“My mom was an honest
person. She didn’t like dishonesty,” she said. Autery
died in 2004.
Clampit said it is “ridiculous” to expect her to pay a
29-year-old debt on an overpayment to her deceased
mother that Clampit previously knew nothing about.
“I’m not the one that
received these checks. I’m
not the one that cashed the
checks, and I am the one
that is being punished for
it, me and my family,” said
Clampit, who has a 19-yearold daughter and a 12-yearold son.

Repair crews reopened both
lanes of westbound Interstate
40 in Roane County, Tenn.,
Monday night, about 12 hours
after a large boulder tumbled
into the far right lane.
Shortly after 9 a.m. Monday, emergency workers in
Roane County were alerted
to a slab of rock that had toppled alongside I-40 near the
343 mile marker. The slab of
rock sent debris onto the far
right westbound lane, forcing
closure of one lane.
Tennessee Department of
Transportation spokesman
Mark Nagi said state workers using a track hoe with
a rock hammer attachment
converged on the boulder.
Workers planned to smash
the large slab into pieces
small enough to haul away.
Nagi said the slab of fallen
rock was about 20 feet long,
5 feet wide and 5 feet thick.
No one was injured when the
slab fell.
“Concrete barricades will
be put up so that if any loose
materials were to fall from
the slope, they would be contained,” Nagi said.

DNA evidence
leads to arrest
A 33-year-old Alabama
man has been arrested in
a Feb. 6 burglary at a Fyffe
pharmacy after police
matched his DNA.
Carson Weldon, of Flat
Rock, Ala., was arrested and
charged with probation violation and burglary, authorities said.
DeKalb County Sheriff
Jimmy Harris said the arrest
was the fourth drug store
burglary in which police
have made an arrest in the
last three months.
After the burglary in February, police found a piece
of flesh and blood stains at
the pharmacy, and a forensics analysis matched Weldon to the skin, Harris said
in a news release.
Investigators are interviewing at least two other
suspects, he said.

Deal signs lobbyist limits bill
By Ray Henry
ATLANTA — Lobbyists cannot
spend more than $75 at a time while
seeking to influence Georgia officials
under legislation signed into law
Monday that still leaves some loopholes and unresolved questions.
The legislation signed by Gov.
Nathan Deal, a Republican, takes
effect Jan. 1 and sets the first state
limits on how much money lobbyists can spend. Right now, lobbyists
can spend as much as they want so
long as they publicly disclose their
expenditures.
“Our success as leaders of this
state depends heavily on the public’s
ability to trust us,” Deal said during
a bill signing ceremony at the Statehouse. “And we cannot expect them
to honor our laws or to elect us to
do further good for this state unless
we have put in place those measures
whereby with certainty they know
that we have their best interests in
mind.”

cut through fences and spent
about two hours inside a Tennessee national security plant
that has had a hand in making,
maintaining or dismantling
parts of every nuclear weapon in the country’s arsenal,
federal authorities allege.
In July, the trio splashed
human blood on the walls
of the fortresslike Highly
Enriched Uranium Materials
Facility in the Y-12 National
Security Complex in Oak
Ridge and painted phrases
on its walls such as: “Woe to
the empire of blood.”
Jury selection began Monday for the trial of Sister
Megan Rice, 83; Michael Walli,
64; and Greg Boertje-Obed, 56.
Rice and Walli live in Washington, D.C., while BoertjeObed, 56, a house painter, is
from Duluth, Minn.
All three have long histories protesting U.S. military
policies. Walli, a Vietnam
veteran, was arrested two
years earlier for trespassing
at Y-12 and sentenced to eight
months in federal prison.
The activists arrested after
the July incursion say in court
filings that after they refused
to plead guilty to trespassing,
prosecutors substituted that
charge with a sabotage count
that increased the maximum
prison term from one year to
20 years.
A n d wh i l e o ff i c i a l s
claimed there was never
any danger of the protesters
reaching materials that could
be detonated on site or used
to assemble a dirty bomb,
the delayed response to the
intrusion raised serious questions about security.
expenses. She said Anderson
indicated money would not
be an issue.
“He indicated to me it
wasn’t a problem,” she said.
Anderson said he is pushing the ordinance because
constituents came to him
during his campaign asking
him to support it.
He said Walsh and the
McKamey Center would be
able to handle the additional
work.
“She’ll be able to handle it
just fine,” he said.
Animal Control Board
members are divided about
whether they should hear the
ordinance first.
Board Chairman Michael
Mallen said the board can
hear requests such as the
chicken ordinance, but it’s
not necessary. He said the
board probably will hear the
ordinance after any approval
and could choose to ask for
amendments.
But Vice Chairwoman
Lynn Ashton said the board
was created to hear these
types of cases.
“I’m confused on why
Mr. Anderson would ask
to circumvent the Animal
Control Board when it’s the
very thing we were tasked to
do,” she said. “I don’t understand why it has to be pushed
through so quickly without
being vetted.”
Councilman Larry Grohn
said the council should look
at the ordinance more carefully.
He has concerns about
putting an added burden on
the McKamey Center. He
also feels the $50 permit fee
could be too high.
He said he supports deferral to let the Animal Control
Board vet the issue.
“I think that’s what they
should be doing,” he said.

A few months ago, police
had taken Washington into
custody after Stokes showed
up at Erlanger North Hospital in Red Bank with a split
gum and at least one tooth
broken, according to an arrest
report. She told police she
and Washington had argued.
He punched her in the mouth,
the report states. The wounds
to her face were described as
“serious bodily injury.” The
case was dismissed.
On Twitter, some expressed
condolences for Washington’s
death and posted pictures.
One woman tweeted, “Your
were my childhood friend,
my crush, the first guy I sang
for, n your were like fam. Now
you gone.”
Thus far in 2013, there
have been 11 homicides —
eight of those deaths were
because of shootings.

ethics for local law enforcement.
Shouldn’t the ethical lawman have quickly fired the
unethical deputy?
“There was a degree of
mercy in this,” he said. “I
very highly believe in people
being able to feed their families and retain their jobs. ... It
is very difficult to just take
somebody’s job away.”
Usually, I’m a sucker for
mercy. Aren’t you?
Mercy is sweeter than
wine when it’s applied
fairly, evenly, to all. Few
things have the power to
crack open the human spirit
like mercy can. Hammond
knows this, too.
But when it’s doled out
unevenly — when some draw
a good hand but others don’t
— mercy loses its flavor, and
starts tasting more like favoritism.
Hammond, a lawman with
a preacher’s heart, is still a
lawman. His job is to enforce
the law, not diminish it. If he
won’t let Jimmy around the
corner off the hook when
he gets caught buying beer
for kids, then he shouldn’t
have any less punishment for
Tabor.
“You might get another
sheriff that fires everybody.
I like to practice a little more
mercy,” he said.
In the end, it’s your call,
Hamilton County residents.
Was the sheriff merciful and
just, or just unfair?

MONTGOMERY, Ala.
— Private and parochial
schools want to make sure
Alabama’s new tax credits
and scholarships for private school attendance don’t
lead to the state government
having a role in their operations.
J. Robin Mears, executive director of the Alabama
Christian Education Association, said the concept of
the new law is sound, but
proposed changes raise concern about state involvement.
“What we are looking at is
what is in it that could eventually hurt us?” he said.
Randy Skipper, executive director of the Alabama
Independent School Association, said he expects many
of his 55 member schools to
decline to participate if the
tax credits and scholarships
come with state government
involvement. “The whole
point is they are independent
schools,” he said.
The Legislature passed
the Alabama Accountability
Act on Feb. 28. It provides
tax credits to parents who
choose to send their children
to a private school or nonfailing public school rather
than a public school rated as
failing.

Larry Henry said that’s probably because no one was surprised.
“I think some of them sort
of expected it. [Hammond]
gave an explanation of it that
was pretty forthright,” Henry
said.
Hammond and the commission butted heads several
times this year over budgeting issues at the sheriff ’s
office. Hammond exceeded
his allotted salary budget by
$220,000 this year, according
to a recently released audit.
And commissioners said last
week they expect all county
departments — including
Hammond’s — to expect no
change in budgets.
Commissioners did have
words for Circuit Court Clerk
Paula Thompson, though.
Thompson is seeking an
additional $336,000 to cover
declining revenues at her
office, and Commissioner
Joe Graham was not pleased
to hear it.
In March, the commission
returned $192,000 to Thompson, which she had paid to
the county in excess fees
over the last 11 years.
Graham wanted to know
Monday why Thompson had
not cut her staff and was still
having trouble making ends
meet.
Thompson said she had
cut positions and reduced
her budget by $140,000, but
it wasn’t enough.
Joe
Graham
Larry
Henry
“You’re still asking for
$300,000 on top of the
$140,000? It’s still not bringing a balanced budget,” Graham said Monday.
The largest requested
budget reduction came
from Assessor of Property
Bill Bennett’s office. He’s
requesting $3.6 million,
which is $647,000 less than
last year. Bennett said the
reduction came because 2013
was a reappraisal year, and
he needed all hands on deck.
Now that the reappraisal is
over, his budget can return
to normal operating levels,
he said.
Commissioners only heard
requests Monday. Mayor Jim
Coppinger ultimately will
pull the budget together and
present it to the commission
for final approval.
“This is the very early
infant stages of this. We’ve
got to assimilate all this
information. ... We’ll probably have it passed by June
30. I don’t think we’ll have
any problems with it,” Henry
said.

Marathon.
Flores then turned the
talk to Reconstruction and
its relation to the 1983 Civil
Rights Act and what Congress intended the Act to
protect.
Flores also compared
McMinn County holding his
client for nearly 10 months
without a bond hearing or
an attorney to extraordinary rendition, an alleged
practice by U.S. intelligence
agencies against terrorism
suspects.
The practice involves taking suspects to undisclosed
locations and holding them
without formal charges or
legal representation, often
in other nations.
“Mr. Vann was taken by
police, your honor, and squirreled away,” Flores said.
But the judge was not
ruling on the merits of the
rights violations, only whether Vann had filed his lawsuit
within the statute of limitations.
Flores filed a lawsuit on
behalf of Vann after meeting with his family in mid2012.
Vann is being held in the
Morgan County Correctional
Complex on a separate incest
conviction.
After the judge’s ruling in
2009, prosecutors dropped
the case and dismissed the
charges in 2011.
Flores argued that the
“clock started ticking” for
statute of limitations in
2011.
But Knight disagreed and
said it started, at the latest,
in 2009.
Collier agreed with Knight
and said the filing was too
late.
After the hearing, Flores
said the chances for an appeal
are narrow, but he would talk
with his client before deciding.
He has 30 days to file an
appeal.

Staff Report
Signal Mountain’s recently
honored Woman of the Year
was arrested Saturday night
and charged with driving
under the influence, evading arrest and two counts
of child endangerment, Red
Bank police said.
Carrie Jones, 41, was
selected to be the 2013 Signal
Mountain Community Guild’s
Woman of the Year on April
24 for her volunteer work.
Just 10 days after the
award, Red Bank Police
Department officers found
Jones driving south on Dayton Boulevard, slumped over
and appearing to be asleep
at the wheel with her two
young daughters in the car,
an incident report states.
The officers turned on
their emergency lights and
sirens, which woke up the
driver, who sped down Dayton
Boulevard in a silver Honda
Odyssey before turning right
onto Morrison Springs Road.
Police finally made contact with Jones when she
came to a stop at 314 Morrison Springs Road, the incident report states.
As Jones exited the
vehicle, with glazed eyes
and slurred speech, officers
noted the smell of alcohol on
her, police said.
Jones told police that she’d

Facility up to standards. It
includes policy, training and
employment changes.
The report praises the
county for expeditiously
responding to complaints and
taking corrective actions.
The investigation of
the facility, released by
the Justice Department in
2011, came as the result of
a handwritten complaint
from inmate Tellis Williams
to U.S. District Judge Todd
Campbell.
In the 2009 letter, Wil-
liams said he lost 20 pounds
in his first few weeks as a
pretrial detainee awaiting a
federal court trial.
“I know that both the diet
and the way that they feed
the inmates here at Robertson County jail are not
healthy because I no longer
feel healthy,” Williams wrote.
“My ribs are visible and I am
constantly hungry!”
Campbell held hearings
on the complaints and then
requested the federal investigation, which found numer-
ous problems in addition to
inadequate nutritious food.
The problems included a
policy allowing inmates who
were supposed to be on suicide watch to simply sign a
form agreeing not to harm
themselves.
The jail changes affect
more than just people arrested locally. Seventy-three percent of RCDF inmates are
either state inmates serving
sentences or pretrial detainees waiting for state or federal trials on felonies.

Teen charged
in brother’s death
MEMPHIS — Memphis
police have charged a Memphis teenager in the shooting
death of his brother.
Dewayne McKissack, 18,
was arrested Sunday in the
death of 15-year-old Cardarius Webb.
According to police, on
April 29 Webb began throwing
bricks at the home of people
who had been in an altercation
with the boys’ mother. McKissack showed up and began firing, intending to hit the people
in the home. Instead, he shot
his brother in the head.
McKissack is charged with
second-degree murder, two
counts of attempted seconddegree murder, three counts of
aggravated assault and using a
firearm to commit a felony.
Lobbying
bills, out for meals. Lobbyists
will be able to pay to send
lawmakers and their staff on
trips within the United States
that are related to their official duties.
There are questions about
how the rules will be enforced.
The new law limits what lobbyists can spend, not what lawmakers can accept. As a result,
some who supported tighter
restrictions on lobbyist spending fear it will be legal for lobbyists to split large expenses.
For example, two lobbyists
could jointly buy a $150 football
ticket for a lawmaker without
breaking the rules.
Critics also worry a provision of the bill will allow
attorneys to lobby without
having to register as lobbyists and obey the new rules
governing spending. The
state’s ethics commission,
which enforces the law, likely
will be asked to rule on those
issues next year.
“We are pleased that this
first step was taken, and
we will be back,” said Debbie Dooley, a co-founder of
the Atlanta Tea Party, which
pushed for tighter lobbying
rules. “There are things that
need to be done to adjust the
legislation.”
Ralston said lawmakers
need to see how the new
laws work before considering changes to them.

With the USA Cycling
Professional Championships
debut in Chattanooga quickly
approaching, local organizers
are making final adjustments
for the event.
“We have changed the
course a little bit and finalized some of the traffic plans
as it relates to the course,”
Outdoor Chattanooga Executive Director Philip Grymes
said Monday. “These changes
will make traffic easier for
some of the businesses on
the route.”
The May 25-27 races are
the national championships
for American pro cyclists in
the time-trial and road-race
disciplines, and they have
attracted some of the sport’s
top names. This begins a
scheduled three-year run in
Chattanooga and will include
men’s and women’s championships at the same event for
the first time.
The weekend also will
feature the United States
Handcycling Federation criterium championship downtown between the men’s and
women’s road-race competitions on Memorial Day.
The time-trial and roadrace courses were announced
in January, with the May 25
time trial set to begin and
end at the Chattanooga Volkswagen plant and the May 27
road race featuring multiple
loops through downtown
and up and down Lookout
Mountain.
Grymes said planning
for the event — which is
expected to draw nearly 200
competitors and thousands
of spectators — has been a
monumental undertaking.
“There’s an incredible
amount that goes into this
thing — details that the
general public would never
imagine,” he said. “It’s a
bulky event, but it’s finally
coming together.”
The road-race course was
changed slightly in the St.
Elmo area and on Lookout
Mountain. Riders coming
out of town on Broad Street
now will turn left from Cummings Highway onto St. Elmo
Avenue, rather than going
through St. Elmo on Tennessee Avenue. After climbing

Ochs Extension, rather than
turning right on Sanders
Road, then to the descent on
Scenic Highway.
“The National Park Service was not comfortable
with the race coming through
Sanders Road because of the
road conditions and potential
impact along Sanders Road,”
Grymes said.
Grymes also said that
some of the traffic planning
has been set for the downtown area on Memorial Day.
Broad Street will be narrowed to two lanes from 20th
Street to the base of Lookout
Mountain to allow two-way
traffic along that corridor,
but there will be no traffic allowed at all along the
downtown and North Shore
portions of the route while
racing is in progress.
“The downtown loop is
going to be a hard closure,”
Grymes said. “No vehicle
traffic will be allowed on
those roads. Fourth Street
will allow emergency traffic
to cross, but all other traffic
will have to go around the
course on Riverfront Parkway or Main Street.”
Saturday’s fatal bicycle
crash during the 3 State, 3
Mountain Challenge happened on a portion of Ochs
Highway that is part of the
US Pro Championship roadrace course. Grymes said
that tragedy underscores
much of the planning that
Outdoor Chattanooga has
been engaged in for months.
He said emergency services
will be stationed along the
course to quickly assist competitors, spectators and area
residents.
“The staging of emergency services is a conversation we’ve been having for a
while,” he said. “And not just
as it relates to the race, but
also to life around the race.”

COMMENTARY
CHUTZPAH CAUCUS
Austerity fans
have been
proven wrong
At this point the economic case
for austerity — for slashing government spending even in the face of a
weak economy — has
collapsed. Claims
that spending cuts
would actually boost
employment by promoting confidence
have fallen apart.
Claims that there is
some kind of red line
of debt that countries
Paul
dare not cross have
Krugman
turned out to rest on
fuzzy and to some extent just plain
erroneous math. Predictions of fiscal
crisis keep not coming true; predictions
of disaster from harsh austerity policies
have proved all too accurate.
Yet calls for a reversal of the
destructive turn toward austerity are
still having a hard time getting through.
Partly that reflects vested interests, for
austerity policies serve the interests
of wealthy creditors; partly it reflects
the unwillingness of influential people
to admit being wrong. But there is, I
believe, a further obstacle to change:
widespread, deep-seated cynicism
about the ability of democratic governments, once engaged in stimulus, to
change course in the future.
This cynicism, which sounds realistic and worldly wise, is actually sheer
fantasy. Ending stimulus never has
been a problem — in fact, the historical record shows that it almost always
ends too soon. And in America we have
a good record for behaving in a fiscally
responsible fashion, with one exception — namely, the fiscal irresponsibility that prevails when, and only when,
hard-line conservatives are in power.
Let’s start with the common claim
that stimulus programs never go away.
In the U.S., government spending programs designed to boost the
economy are in fact rare. FDR cut back
sharply in 1937, plunging America back
into recession; Obama’s Recovery Act
had its peak effect in 2010, and has
since faded away, a fade that has been a
major reason for our slow recovery.
What about programs designed to
aid those hurt by a depressed economy?
Don’t they become permanent fixtures?
Again, no. Unemployment benefits
have fluctuated with the business cycle,
and as a percentage of GDP they are
barely half what they were at their
recent peak. Food stamp usage is still
rising, but historical experience suggests that it too will fall sharply if and
when the economy really recovers.
Incidentally, foreign experience follows the same pattern. You often hear
Japan described as a country that has
pursued never-ending fiscal stimulus.
In reality, it has engaged in stop-go
policies, increasing spending when the
economy is weak, then pulling back at
the first sign of recovery (and thereby
pushing itself back into recession).
So the whole notion of perma-stimulus is fantasy posing as hardheaded realism. Even if you don’t believe that stimulus is forever, Keynesian economics says
not just that you should run deficits in
bad times, but that you should pay down
debt in good times. It’s silly to imagine
that this will happen, right?
Wrong. The key measure you want
to look at is the ratio of debt to GDP,
which measures the government’s fiscal position better than a simple dollar
number. And if you look at U.S. history
since World War II, you find that of
the 10 presidents who preceded Barack
Obama, seven left office with a debt
ratio lower than when they came in.
Who were the three exceptions? Ronald
Reagan and the two George Bushes. So
debt increases that didn’t arise either
from war or from extraordinary financial crisis are entirely associated with
hard-line conservative governments.
And there’s a reason for that association: U.S. conservatives have long followed a strategy of “starving the beast,”
slashing taxes so as to deprive the government of the revenue it needs to pay
for popular programs.
The funny thing is that right now
these same hard-line conservatives
declare that we must not run deficits
in times of economic crisis. Why?
Because, they say, politicians won’t
do the right thing and pay down the
debt in good times. And who are these
irresponsible politicians they’re talking
about? Why, themselves.

IS IT SAFE TO BIKE
THE MOUNTAINS?
M
ore than 2,000 bicyclists came to Chattanooga this past weekend to bike three
mountains.
It sounds like fun, but it wasn’t.
One bicyclist died, and the life of the person
whose car the cyclist struck on the rain-slicked Ochs
Highway is likely forever altered.
Bicycling is the new cool. It’s a sign of vigor and
enthusiasm for life. It has it own recent state law
that says drivers must give a bicyclist at least three
feet distance.
But then there’s this elephant in the living room
of Chattanooga — the city of mountains and valleys
seemingly perfect for that outdoorsy, healthy cyclistkind of happy picture. The elephant is safety, or the
lack of common-sense understanding of safety that
no one wants to talk about.
It’s just not safe to bicycle on steep mountain
roads. It’s not safe for the cyclists, and it’s not safe for
the people who have to drive those mountain roads
to get to home and work. These roads are barely
adequate for the traffic they bear, let alone for one
or more cyclists suddenly right in front of drivers
who’ve just rounded a curve and have nowhere else
to go but into a lane of oncoming traffic.
Something has to give.
Less than a year ago, this newspaper ran a story
stating “Biking is a bit safer in Tennessee and Georgia
as of this morning, assuming two new state laws keep
motorists away from cyclists.”
The story went on to say legislation in Tennessee strengthened penalties against drivers who hit
pedestrians or cyclists. Instead of facing 30 days in
jail and a $50 fine, drivers judged guilty of “failure
to exercise due care” face up to a $500 fine and 11
months and 29 days in jail and the loss of a driver’s
license for causing death.
Across the state line, Georgia drivers suddenly
faced the same mandate to keep least three feet
between themselves and cyclists.
Keeping good space — even more than three
feet — between a vehicle and a bicycle is a good
common-sense rule, but it doesn’t work on a curvy,
two-lane (or even three-lane) mountain road where
neither driver nor biker knows the other is there until
the three-feet buffer is merely inches.
If the lane is too narrow for the motorist to safely
pass the bicyclist — while still allowing the cyclist
a safe buffer-distance — the motorist has to wait
behind for a safe chance to pass. And the motorist has
to pray not to be rear-ended in the meantime.
This issue needs rethinking. A one-size-fits-all
bicycle safety law may not work on our mountain
roads.
Since 2003, at least five bicyclists have died in
bike/car collisions in the Chattanooga region, according to newspaper archives.
The cyclists lost their lives, but the drivers and
their families were not unscathed. Some were prosecuted, and whether they went to court or not, they
deal with the nightmares that all fatal accidents
bring.
Saturday’s unfortunate accident was not the vehicle
driver’s fault, according to police. The cyclist lost control riding downhill on Lookout Mountain’s Ochs Highway and went into the path of a car traveling uphill,
said Chattanooga police spokesman Nathan Hartwig.
The cyclist, a Florida man, died at the scene.
Yes, bicycling is fun and usually healthy, but it’s not
a God-given right on a highway. And especially not in
inclement weather on a curvy mountain road.
Was any thought given to canceling this event,
knowing that a deluge of rain was forecast days in
advance? Couldn’t the roads have been temporarily
closed or detoured for the event?
Perhaps mountain cycling enthusiasts need to
do what horseback riders and four-wheelers have
had to do: build their own routes away from car and
truck traffic.
There’s a reason bicycling is not legal on an Interstate highway, even though on Interstate highways
cyclists would have a wide shoulder available.
The reason is simple. Safety. On Interstate highways, speed makes cycling unsafe for everybody.
Well, on mountains, curves, switchbacks and narrow
lanes make cycling unsafe for everybody.
Yes, cyclists have a right to ride. But we all have
a right to safety.
Bicycles on roads that are dubiously safe even for
cars, stretch that right to the limit.

CLAY BENNETT CONVEYS
SEVERITY OF IRAQ WAR
This article is in response to
a letter to the editor, lambasting
Clay Bennett’s “vicious” attack
on Bush’s new library — Bennett
comparing it with the Holocaust
Museum.
I’m not as positive as the aforementioned writer that the comparison was not justified. Deliberate killing of over 6 million Jews,
plus several million other political prisoners by the Germans was
deplorable, but America’s role in
the killing of more than 100,000
Iraqis also is indefensible — considering many were civilians.
There’s not much difference in
dropping bombs from five miles
up and a crazy person with an
automatic gun spraying a crowd.
Many people will be victims along
with their targets.
Is it poor taste to compare the
Holocaust with our not-so-fast
“mission accomplished” in Iraq?
It really depends on what side of
the bomb you’re on, doesn’t it?
What would the families of the
100,000 Iraqis — if any still are
alive — say? Perhaps it would be
a different spin.

I lost the ticket. Unfortunately,
this allowed the company to raise

I wrote “paid in full” on the memo

GOOD SAMARITANS HELP

With all the bad things happening in Red Bank the last few

neighborhoods, as well. That
goodness was shown to me in
the most tangible way by a good
Samaritan whose name is Linda
Clayton.
While we were sitting for a
good friend, their dog, a huge
German shepherd named Mata
escaped. Enter Linda and another
wonderful woman, whose name
we didn’t get.
Linda rescued him from rushhour traffic on Dayton Boulevard
and took him to a vet, who happened to be Mata’s vet. Now everything’s OK.
Linda went above and beyond
to help strangers. Not too many
people would even think to stop
and help a huge German shepherd,
much less be late for work to make
sure he was taken care of.
I thank Linda, but I give God the
glory for his protection not only
for Mata’s safety but from protecting us all from much grief.
Red Bank is truly a great place
to live.

COMMENTARY
NUCLEAR POWER
Energy source
provides for
power needs
By Ronald Eytchison
With the “war on terror” dominating the news, few Americans are
likely to recall that 60 years ago
President Dwight
Eisenhower laid
the foundation for
the peaceful use of
nuclear energy in an
historic address to the
UN General Assembly. His speech, delivered at the height
of the Cold War in
1953, helped change
the course of world
Ronald
events.
Eytchison
After all these
years, it is important to remember
that nearly six decades of experience with nuclear energy has not
lessened the wisdom of Eisenhower’s proposal to mount a program
of international pooling of nuclear
technology and fissionable materials
for “the benefit of mankind.”
His “Atoms for Peace” vision
clearly resounds today. Nuclear
medicine has become indispensable
to health care, playing a key role in
the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. A great achievement.
Radiation is widely used in
modern industry, as, for example,
in the inspection of metal parts
in jet engines. Nuclear generators
supply the power for virtually all
space missions. And nuclear energy has become a source of electricity for more than a billion people
globally.
Eisenhower’s address foreshadowed the production of nuclear-generated electricity with fuel derived
from nuclear weapons stockpiles in
the United States and Russia. Under
a disarmament agreement, nearly
500 metric tons of highly enriched
uranium from former Soviet warheads have been down-blended into
low-enriched uranium currently
used at U.S. nuclear plants to supply power for American homes and
businesses. The “megatons to megawatts” program has been a great
success.
Now, with the growing concern
for global climate change, the case
for expanding the use of nuclear
energy has never been greater.
Nuclear energy is among the cleanest sources of “base-load” electricity, a great help in protecting public
health and the environment.
James Hansen, a climatologist
who headed NASA’s Goddard Institute for many years and who was
the first atmospheric scientist to
warn Congress about the danger
of global warming in 1988, recently
completed a study on the importance of nuclear energy in protecting our planet. Hansen determined
that over the years global nuclear
energy has prevented more than 1.8
million deaths from air pollution
and 64 billion tons of greenhousegas emissions that would have
resulted from the burning of fossil
fuels. By 2050, nuclear energy could
prevent as many as 7 million deaths
and avoid 240 billion tons of greenhouse emissions, he said. His study,
which appears in the journal Environmental Science and Technology,
confirms nuclear energy’s benefits
globally.
Around the world, 71 nuclear
plants are being built, and 150 plants
are planned and another 340 are
proposed. That’s in addition to the
437 operating nuclear plants, including the U.S. fleet of 104 plants. Here
in the Southeast, five new reactors
are under construction — two in
Georgia, two in South Carolina and
the Watts Bar reactor in Tennessee.
If any one energy source will be
vital in the years ahead, it is nuclear
power. The fact that even OPEC
countries like Saudi Arabia, United
Arab Emirates and Indonesia plan to
build nuclear plants should tell us
something.
Retired Vice Adm. Ronald Eytchison, had 45 years’ experience in Navy
nuclear power and the commercial
nuclear power and nuclear fuels
industries.

GEORGIA STATE PARKS
GET NEW LEASE ON LIFE
G
eorgia is outsourcing the management of five state parks with
upscale lodges and golf courses to a
private company — and it could be
the best news in decades for visitors and
supporters of Georgia’s parks.
Despite what a few confused nature-lovers believe, the parks aren’t being sold off
and turned into condos, cul-de-sacs and
Costcos. They are still protected property, preserved forever for all to use and
enjoy.
The outsourcing plan simply allows a
private company to manage the operations
of a few of the state’s less successful parks
in order to correct flaws and increase efficiency, which will result in more visitors
and a better guest experience.
Coral Hospitality, the Florida-based
hotel and resort management company
that state officials hired to manage the
parks, will largely focus on improving state
park functions and amenities that, frankly,
the government should have never been
providing in the first place.
Georgia bureaucrats have a history of
operating golf courses, restaurants and
lodging operations at state parks that
drown in red ink, losing mounds of tax
dollars every year. Coral Hospitality, on
the other hand, has a proven track record
of turning flagging hotels, resorts and golf
clubs into successful facilities. They also
have a strong incentive to improve the
services at the state parks they manage:
the company gets paid based on the money
the parks generate — a total of just 3.25
percent of gross revenues.
Coral took over management of the visitor lodges at Amicalola Falls State Park
in Dawsonville and Unicoi State Park in
White County last December. Already,
improvements are clear. Bill Donohue,
executive director of the North Georgia
Mountains Authority, the arm of state government responsible for contracting with
Coral to operate the parks, told Times Free
Press reporter Tim Omarzu that the dining
room at the lodge at Amicalola Falls State
Park was a longtime money pit. After Coral
took the facility over and made changes
such as replacing a nightly buffet with an
a la carte menu, the dining room began to
turn a profit.
The state’s agreement with Coral has
produced other benefits, as well. For example, the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources planned to close the Unicoi
State Park lodge for long-term renovations.
Coral, however, has devised a plan for
upgrading guest rooms while keeping the
lodges open, according to Leonard Gilroy
of the Reason Foundation.
When Coral assumed management
duties at Amicalola Falls and Unicoi, the
company retained 98 percent of the parks’
existing employees. That’s good news for
workers at Ocmulgee, Georgia Veterans
Memorial and George T. Bagby state parks,
the other three parks affected by the outsourcing plan.
Public-private partnerships like the one
between the state parks and Coral Hospitality are nothing new. The U.S. Forest Service has benefited from a similar
approach for more than 25 years. By contracting operations for services such as
campgrounds and entrance fee collections
to a private recreation management company, the Forest Service has retained full
ownership of land, while pocketing about
90 percent of the money collected by the
private operators and providing visitors
with clean, well-maintained recreation
areas at no cost to taxpayers, according to
Gilroy. The Tennessee Valley Authority
and a number of national and state parks
employ similar arrangements with great
success.
Lovers of Georgia’s state parks should
be thrilled that five previously failing state
parks are getting a new lease on life. Not
only are the parks now in the hands of
professionals who know how to operate
them successfully, the revenues the parks
will now generate will go toward improving state parks. That means the decision
to outsource the operations of a few parks
will benefit Georgia’s state parks and their
visitors for years to come.

Former Atlanta schools superintendent Beverly Hall and 34 other
school employees, including highlevel administrators, principals and
teachers, were recently booked in
Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail after
being indicted on 65 criminal counts.
The charges included racketeering,
theft, conspiracy, making false statements and witness tampering.
Just four years ago, Hall was
the National Superintendent of the
Year. Now, she faces the possibility of 45 years in prison for having
allegedly snagged almost $600,000
in bonus income for higher test
scores achieved through fraudulently
changing students’ test answers.
And this, the nation’s largest-ever
cheating scandal, may prove only the
highest shard of a proverbial large
floating mass of frozen water.
But instead of condemnation,
some of the nation’s leading “education experts” seem bent on excusing
the cheaters.
“What we do know,” Washington
Post education writer Valerie Strauss
pointed out, “is that these cheating
scandals have been a result of testobsessed school reform.”
Dr. Christopher Emdin of Columbia University Teachers College
reminded readers at the end of a
recent Huffington Post column, “I
am not saying that educators and
school officials who cheat on tests or
conspire to cover up cheating should
not be reprimanded.”
Just “reprimanded”?
Award-winning teacher Steven Lin
explained that “environments such
as that alleged in Atlanta present the
classic sociological phenomenon of
‘diffusion of responsibility,’ along
with a host of other flaws regarding the compartmentalization of job
descriptions within bureaucracies.”
You mean they suffer from “peer
pressure”?
Nevertheless, I still think it’s more
than sorta bad to cheat.

The stakes of being too late
WASHINGTON — On Syria,
President Obama has sometimes
seemed isolated within his own
administration.
As the atrocities have escalated — from
the shelling of
neighborhoods,
to airstrikes on
bread lines, to
the use of Scud
missiles against
Michael
civilians, to the
Gerson
l i ke ly i n c re mental introduction of chemical
weapons — the Assad regime’s
strategy has become alarmingly
clear. Unable to retake rebel-held
areas, it seeks to depopulate them,
producing mass casualties, refugee
flows and sectarian conflict. During the last two years, it has been
reported that many of Obama’s top
foreign policy advisers, including
David Petraeus, Hillary Clinton,
Leon Panetta and Ben Rhodes,
have urged more robust action to
arrest Syria’s downward spiral.
But Obama has firmly resisted
such advice, preferring instead to
gradually (and, so far, ineffectively) increase training and nonlethal
support for the rebels. During his
recent news conference, he again
urged patience. Why has the president been so resolutely inactive
on Syria?
To start with the obvious:
Obama was re-elected on the
promise of winding down difficult
foreign commitments, not making
them. Both his presidential campaigns assumed and encouraged
American war weariness. And
any action in Syria, no matter how
limited, carries heavy historical
baggage: Another confrontation
with a Baathist dictator concerning
weapons of mass destruction?
All this can be chalked up to
Iraq War Syndrome. But Obama
seems to have a larger strategy in
staying on the sidelines. Insofar
as there is an Obama doctrine, it
is this: America has overinvested
resources and attention in thankless Middle Eastern conflicts and
underinvested in other places,
particularly Asia. Obama’s goal
is to rebalance the portfolio. And
Syria doesn’t fit. According to Vali
Nasr of the Brookings Institution,
“Syria challenges a central aim of
Obama’s foreign policy: shrinking
the U.S. footprint in the Middle
East and downplaying the region’s
importance to global politics.”
If true, Obama’s tactical timidity
is also the expression of a kind of
strategic boldness. He is challenging the post-World War II foreign
policy consensus on the geopolitical priority of the Middle East.
Presidents of both parties have
accepted a major U.S. role in ensuring regional stability, allowing the
flow of resources, defending Israel,
and, more recently, countering the
rise of extremism. Obama’s pivot
to other priorities may help explain
his generally passive reaction to
the Iranian Green Revolution in
2009, to the Arab Spring and to
events in Syria.
Syria has been a test of the
Obama Doctrine, and it hasn’t
fared well. It is difficult to remember now, but the initial stages of
the Syrian uprising were mostly
peaceful protests along the lines
of Tunisia or Egypt. A sharp diplomatic and economic shove might
have convinced elements of the
regime to give up on the Assad
family. Early military support for
responsible rebels might have preempted sectarian conflict and marginalized the jihadists.
But having missed the moment
— through indecision or ideology
or indecision reinforced by ideology — Obama is left to limit the
damage. His own foreign policy
goals — improving the image of
America in the Islamic world,
focusing on Israeli-Palestinian
peace, pivoting to Asia — have
been badly undermined. And the
moral and strategic consequences
are much broader. Obama’s inaction has helped create an outcome
with a familiar historical ring: a
civil war at the heart of the Middle East that destabilizes friendly
governments, empowers jihadists,
increases sectarian tensions across
the region and allows Iran broader
opportunities for mischief. Call it
the revenge of the postwar consensus.
America should not accept the
refounding of the Assad regime on
a vast pile of skulls. And America
should not accept the disintegration of Syria into enclaves, some of
them sheltering al-Qaeda affiliates.
So Obama has little choice but to
help the rebels to win, while helping the right rebels to win out in
a post-Assad power struggle. But
delay has made this task much
more difficult. Civil wars, over
time, tend to favor the ruthless
and radical. As options for arming
the rebels narrow — for fear of
weapons falling into the hands of
future enemies — the pressure for
direct American action increases.
Obama’s earlier passivity now
pushes him toward the very policies he wanted most to avoid.
Former British Prime Minister
Tony Blair recently said: “If you
intervene, it can be very tough.
If you don’t intervene, it can also
be very tough.” But if you are
compelled to intervene late, after
squandering some of your best
options, it may be toughest of all.

TVA cap on solar subsidies
could hurt growing industry

Staff Writer
Chattanooga Bakery Co. may have
picked a lunar name for its signature
Moonpie, but the local bakery is turning to the sun this year to help make
its world famous snack.
Atop the roof of the company’s
Moccasin Bend bakery, 195 polycrystalline solar panels are turning the
energy of the sun into electricity to
help power the plant that produces
its marshmallow treats. Aided by federal and utility credits, Chattanooga
Bakery and more than a dozen other
Chattanooga plants and offices are
using rooftop solar panels to help cut
their energy bills.
“This installation will help us
hedge against rising energy rates, lowering our operating costs for the next

JC’s Family BBQ owners set sights on Harrison restaurant’s future Best jobs
■ Name: JC’s Family BBQ
■ Owners: Jim and Jean
Johnson
■ Location: 9070 Highway
58, Harrison
■ Opened: October 2012
■ Service: From homemade
cobblers to country fried
steak and okra, JC’s Family
BBQ serves up a range of
lunch and dinner options. Jim
and Jean dish out about 250
meals on a Friday night and
have seating for just over
130 people. The restaurant
also does catering and to-go
orders. “In my opinion, my
ribs will make you want to
slap your mama,” Jim said.
■ Prices: $5 to $12 a meal
■ Staff: 15
■ How it got started: Jean
has been in the restaurant
business for decades and
spent nine years working at
Two Pigs Barbecue. After
Two Pigs closed, Jean and
Jim leased the building,
renovated it and reopened
as JC’s Family BBQ. Jean
handles the cooking and
kitchen staff, while Jim
deals with the vendors and
finances.
■ Initial investment:
$30,000
■ Two-year goal: Jim and
Jean have a two-year lease
on the building. The pair
hopes to buy it when that
lease runs out. To do that,
they need to increase their
customer base. “If our growth
continues to trend the way
it’s been in the first quarter
— I’ve seen consistent
growth every week — if we
can maintain our growth, I
think we’ll certainly be on
track,” Jim said.
■ Yankee transplants:
Jim and Jean moved to
Tennessee in 1988 from
New Jersey. “We may be
from the North,” Jim said,
“but I like to tell people that
we’re dug in like a couple
ticks on a coon hound. And
you’d never hear a Yankee
say that.”

Directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority didn’t
violate the federal Sunshine
law when they hired Bill
Johnson as chief executive
last November without a
public meeting, the utility’s
internal watchdog said Monday.
The TVA inspector general said the TVA board
was within its rights to hire
Johnson using a notational
approval from each of the
members of the then sixmember board. In a 10-page
report released Monday, TVA
Assistant Inspector General
John Brennan said the board
didn’t deliberate among members over the hiring selection
and therefore didn’t violate
the requirements of the Sunshine Act to conduct board
deliberations in public.
“Notational procedure
[with each board member
casting votes without board
deliberation] is not prohibited by the Sunshine Act, and
the board followed that process,” Brennan concluded.
Garry Morgan, a member
of the Bellefonte Efficiency
and Sustainability Team
who asked for the inspector general investigation of
Johnson’s hiring, said he was
disappointed in the secret
process used by the board
in making one of its most
important decisions.
“The TVA has taken the
route of ignoring openness

and instead supports secrecy
and reneges in its responsibility to display openness in
a major federal action which
involved the final selection of
its CEO,” Morgan said Monday. “Increasingly, the TVA
is turning its head and ignoring openness in its meeting
process.”
The inspector general
report said the board didn’t
want to reveal the names of
any of the candidates for the
TVA CEO post, which was
created last year with the
retirement of Tom Kilgore
as head of TVA.
“Making the candidates’
identities known might jeopardize their current jobs or
jobs to which they may have
applied,” the inspector general report said.
The TVA board interviewed candidates for CEO
in September and October of
2012, but TVA’s general counsel advised the board not to
discuss any views or impresprivate.
Few realize that the vast
majority of online pharmacies don’t follow the rules.
The Internet is filled
with illegitimate websites
that lure customers with
spam emails and professional-looking websites
that run 24-hour call centers. A January study by
the National Association of
Boards of Pharmacy, which
accredits online pharmacies, found that only 257
of 10,275 online pharmacy
sites it examined appeared
legitimate.
Experts say the fake drugs
such websites sell can be
dangerous. That’s because
they don’t include the right
amount of the active ingredient, if any, or contain toxic
substances such as heavy
metals, lead paint and printer ink. They’re generally
made in filthy warehouses
and garages in Asia, Eastern
Europe and Latin America.
Online buyers are “playing Russian roulette,” says
Matthew Bassiur, vice president of global security at
New York-based Pfizer.
“The factories are deplorable. I’ve seen photographs
of these places,” he says.
“You wouldn’t even want to
walk in them, let alone ingest
anything made in them.”
Pfizer, which invented
the term “erectile dysfunction,” has long been aggressive in fighting counterfeiters. It conducts undercover
investigations and works
with authorities around the
globe, with good reason.
Counterfeit versions
of Viagra and dozens of
other Pfizer medicines rob
the company of billions in
annual sales.
Viagra is one of its top
drugs, with $2 billion in
worldwide revenue last year.
And it’s the most counterfeited drug in the U.S.,
according to the company.

birth control pills.
“If it works, everybody
will hop on the train,” says
Les Funtleyder, a health
care strategist at private
equity fund Poliwogg who
believes Pfizer’s site will
attract “fence-sitters” who
are nervous about buying
online.
The online Viagra sales
are Pfizer’s latest effort to
combat a problem that has
grown with the popularity
of the Internet.
In recent years, Americans have become more
comfortable with online
shopping, with many even
buying prescription drugs
online. That’s particularly
true for those who don’t
have insurance, are bargain
hunters or want to keep
their medicine purchases

sions about the candidates.
The individual impressions
about the board members
were compiled and a consultant hired by the board to
help in the CEO selection,
Albert McAuley, then talked
one on one with board members to determine who they
wanted to hire.
TVA spokesman Duncan
Mansfield said the board “is
committed to working in an
open and transparent manner” and has met in open session for board meetings since
1975. Once the board picked
Johnson and Chairman Bill
Sansom negotiated his pay,
the hiring was announced on
Nov. 5, 2012.
Morgan said if TVA wants
to act in private like a private
company “then it should go
ahead and accept the Obama
administration’s proposal to
become an investor-owned
utility answerable to its
shareholders.”
“But if TVA wants to be
a public utility and get the
advantages of being a government agency, it needs to
operate in the open and let
the public which owns TVA
see what the board is doing,”
Morgan said.
Morgan said he still
believes that TVA violated
the Sunshine Act, but he said
he doesn’t have the financial
resources to mount a lawsuit
against TVA.

the year,” said Stephen Smith,
executive director for the
Southern Alliance for Clean
Energy. “TVA has set an
arbitrary cap and mismanaged the application process
in a way that suggests that
TVA is just not serious about
growing this technology.”
Smith and other solar
backers object to the limit
TVA imposed last fall on
the volume of solar generated power the federal utility
would buy at premium prices to help spur more solar
generation. Effective in 2013,
TVA will buy only 7.5 megawatts of solar generation at
its premium price of 9 cents
per kilowatt-hour above the
average retail rate in the valley. As of this week, about 250
solar energy proposals had
already used up this year’s
subsidy allocation, although
some of the allocation may
be recaptured later this year
if the reserved projects aren’t
actually built.
TVA spokesman Mike
Bradley said solar power
generation is growing for
TVA and other power producers, but utilities can’t pay
unlimited subsidies for solar
power.
“Our goal is to encourage
solar power growth as part
of our clean energy vision
and solar has certainly grown
tremendously in our region,”
Bradley said. “The cost of
solar generation has gone
down tremendously and
we’ve adjusted our program
to the market.”
Bradley said the fact that
TVA’s allocation is already
met “indicates the program
is working and there is more
interest in solar power.”
Ultimately, solar and other
energy generation must be
sustainable and competitive
and not rely upon market
subsidies, he said.
TVA cut its previous 12cents-per-kilowatt-hour subsidy for solar to 9 cents per
kwh this year and limited
the number of projects it
would support beyond small
residential solar generation
below 10 kilowatts.
But having reached the
annual limit for solar subsidies from TVA, some solar
energy developers worry
that their businesses could
wither while customers wait

SOLAR CAP
Under its Green Power
Providers program, TVA:
■ Buys solar powergenerated electricity in
the Valley for 9 cents
per kilowatt-hour above
the retail rate. But the
utility caps the volume
of such subsidized
power in 2013 to 7.5
megawatts.
■ Signed agreements
with about 250 solar
projects to be added
in the Valley this
year. TVA has met its
annual cap already for
all of 2013, although
some of the unused
reservations may be
recaptured for other
developers this fall.
for next year’s allocation of
more solar subsidies.
“I won’t be able to sign
up any more customers until
next January, and I can’t go
that long without any work,”
Gary Wolf, co-owner and
lead installer at Sundog Solar
Energy LLC in Nashville, told
the Tennessean.
Solar installers in the
South complain that many
states don’t allow solar energy producers to sell directly
to homes or businesses and
must go through utilities.
“The states that are most
successful are the ones that
have the most predictable
and dependable markets and
allow free market competition [for end users],” said
Bill Silva, president of United Renewable Energy LLC.
Silva and others expect
solar energy to keep growing.
“I think it could supply
20 to 25 percent of our electricity,” Silva said. TVA now
gets less than 1 percent of
its power from solar.
“Solar has always been
competitive over the long
term, even before we had
any subsidies,” said Thomas Tripp, owner of Big Frog
Mountain in Chattanooga.
“TVA has been supportive
of solar power through the
years, and TVA can’t just
pay a premium price for
all renewable power and
remain competitive in the
market. Ultimately, we have
to prove that solar is cost
competitive and I know that
it is.”

House Republicans seek alternative to overtime pay
even months later to attend a
parent-teacher conference or
deal with home repairs.
Republicans in Congress
are pushing legislation that
would extend that option to
the private sector. They say
that would bring more flexibility to the workplace and
help workers better balance
family and career.
The push is part of a
broader Republican agenda
undertaken by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.,
to expand the party’s political
appeal to working families. The
House is expected to vote on
the measure this week, but the
Democratic-controlled Senate
isn’t likely to take it up.

will sue for compliance.
Under the settlement, the
banks are required to respond
to mortgage modification
requests within 30 days.
Schneiderman said delays
put homeowners further into
debt from missed payments
and penalties, pushing them
closer to foreclosure.
“The five mortgage services that signed the national mortgage settlement are
legally required to take specific, rigorous and enforceable steps to protect homeowners,” Schneiderman said.
“Wells Fargo and Bank of
America have flagrantly vio-
lated those obligations.”
Bank of America spokesman Richard Simon said
through March it provided
mortgage relief for more than
10,000 New York homeowners totaling more than $1 billion and the bank will work
to address quickly the 129

Wells Fargo said it was
committed to full compliance with the settlement.

unions and most Democrats,

skimp on overtime pay.

Women and Families.

OMAHA, Neb. — Investor Warren Buffett said even
though the stock market is
soaring, prices appear reasonable, and stocks would
be a better investment than
bonds for most people.
Buffett conducted interviews Monday on CNBC
and the Fox Business Network cable channels after
a weekend full of events in
Omaha for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.
“Bonds are a terrible investment right now,” Buffett said.
Buffett said bond prices are artificially inflated
because the Federal Reserve
continues to buy $85 billion
of bonds a month, and owners of long-term bonds may
see big losses when interest
rates eventually rise. He said
inflation is also likely when
the Fed stops buying bonds.
He said the average investor should keep enough cash
to be comfortable and invest
the rest in equities.
“Stocks are reasonably
priced now,” Buffett said on
CNBC.
The Federal Reserve’s
efforts to keep interest rates
low have helped the stock
market soar, Buffett said, but
the improving economy has
also played a role.

NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GIVES QUARTERBACK CLUB UPDATE ON MOCS
David Blackburn got to
preach to the choir Monday.
The University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga’s new athletic
director addressed the Quarterback Club before being softly
questioned by a lot of folks
whose primary colors have been
blue and gold for most of their
lives.
Yet even with a house full of
Mocs Maniacs ready to embrace
his every word at Finley Stadium’s Stadium Club, Blackburn
asked for no blind loyalty.
“I don’t expect you guys to
trust and believe me right now,”
he said. “I know I have to earn
that.”
Earning anything takes time,
of course. And with Blackburn
hoping to hire
both men’s and
women’s basketball coaches
over the next
week to 10 days,
he knows time is
not on his side
at the moment.
“I never
Mark
thought it would
Wiedmer

Commentary
it is,” he said.
“But I love every
minute of it.”
But it was what he told the
crowd of 100 or more about
his vision beyond the coaching
search that may make this community grow to love the former
University of Tennessee associate AD.
“Even in ugly situations, we
are going to treat people with
respect,” he said.
Regarding fundraising, long a
UTC athletic department problem, he noted, “We need to be
more visible in the community.
We need a little more heavy
prospecting.”
Discussing nonconference
basketball scheduling he said,
“You want to see exciting teams.
That’s what grows revenue.”
Asked about his views on
remaining in the Southern
Conference, he made no promises, saying only, “I think UTC
should be the school with the
greatest stature in the league.”
Questioned about the possibility of pushing for more football games to be played on

he concurrent searches for
new University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s and
women’s basketball coaches are progressing and should be wrapped up
within the next week or so, new athletic director David Blackburn said
Monday.
Speaking to an attentive audience
of more than 100 Chattanooga Quarterback Club members and guests,
Blackburn talked about his past, his
goals for UTC and more during a
40-minute talk in the Stadium Club
at Finley Stadium.
Before anyone could ask a question about the searches, Blackburn
gave a brief and nameless progress
report. He declined to mention
names to protect “the integrity of
the search and I wanted to protect
the candidates’ names also,” he said
afterward.
In his first public address since his
introductory reception on April 24,
Blackburn said of the searches, “It’s
all I’ve done” since starting work on
April 25.
After the lunchtime address, Blackburn spoke with the media for several
minutes. He said he still is interviewing
candidates for the men’s and women’s
jobs. He also said no candidates have
been brought onto UTC’s campus, and
they may not before the hirings.
“That’s not atypical in the athletic
world,” he said.
Blackburn, who is working with
the Charlotte-based search firm Collegiate Sports Associates, said he
hopes to have the searches down to
the final two for each job in the next
day or so.
“We want to get it down on both
sides really tight here in the next
48 hours, and we hope to finalize it
sometime this week,” he said, adding
that he’s reluctant to put a specific
timeline on it.
Of the quality and quantity of the
coaches interested in both vacancies,
Blackburn told the audience, “I’ve
been very surprised — overwhelmed,
to be honest with you — on both the
men and the women’s sides.”
Blackburn said his first few weeks
on the job have been “a bit of a whirl-

A month after Auburn won college
football’s 2010 national championship,
quarterback Kiehl Frazier signed with the
Tigers.
Frazier, tabbed by USA Today as its high
school national offensive player of the year,
tallied more than 4,000 total yards as a
senior in leading Shiloh Christian to its
third straight Arkansas Class 4A title. The
dual-threat talent was drawing comparisons to 2010 Auburn star Cam Newton.
Now halfway through his college career,
Frazier has faltered frequently but is not
without hope of joining Stan White, Ben
Leard and Jason Campbell as quarterbacks
who impressively salvaged their time on
the Plains. Gus Malzahn, who recruited
Frazier to Auburn when he was offensive
coordinator under Gene Chizik, is back
as head coach following a year guiding

Auburn junior quarterback Kiehl Frazier has struggled with the Tigers, throwing two touchdowns and
10 interceptions during his first two seasons.
CINCINNATI — Andrelton Simmons homered
twice and drove in a career-high four runs Monday
night, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 7-4 victory
that ended the Cincinnati Reds’ winning streak at
three games.
The Braves won at a place where they’ve had
little success. They were 0-4 at Great American Ball
Park last year and 14-25 overall since it opened for
the 2003 season.
Paul Maholm (4-3) held down an offense that’s
been all-or-nothing. The left-hander allowed four
2
hits and two runs in 5 ⁄3 innings. Cincinnati stranded
five runners in scoring position overall.
Craig Kimbrel gave up two singles in the ninth
before striking out Joey Votto for his 10th save in 12
opportunities.
Atlanta scored in four of five innings against
Bronson Arroyo (2-4), who gave up eight hits, walked
two and allowed four runs in his shortest outing of
the season.
Simmons had a solo homer and an RBI single off
Arroyo. He added a two-run homer in the eighth off
Logan Ondrusek, matching his career high for hits.
Freddie Freeman also singled and doubled and

Thomas wants out of FSU signing; to go to UGA or USC
By David Paschall
Staff Writer
Matthew Thomas, one of
the nation’s top football prospects in the 2013 signing class,
told the Miami Herald that he
wants out of his scholarship to
Florida State and would like to
play at Georgia or Southern
California.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder from Miami’s Booker T.
Washington High School was
rated by Rivals.com as the No.
2 outside linebacker in the
country and the No. 15 overall prospect. His last three
visits were to USC, Florida
State and Georgia, and he was
considered a toss-up leading
up to signing day between
FSU’s Seminoles and USC’s
Trojans.
“Georgia needs linebackers,” Thomas told the paper
in an article that ran Monday.
“It’s a big program. I have
family in Georgia.
“USC — growing up I
never thought I would have
an opportunity that big. I just
want to go have fun and play
football.”
The Herald reported that
FSU coaches do not want to
release Thomas and they plan
to visit him soon.

KNOXVILLE — Jordan Cornish delivered
the good news to Tennessee basketball coach
Cuonzo Martin on Monday night.
The 6-foot-6 swingman from Brother Martin
High School in New Orleans gave the Volunteers their first commitment for the 2014
recruiting class.
“He actually did [get excited],” Cornish said
by phone, “because he really loves my game,
and like he told me, ‘I resemble him,’ and he
really, really likes me.”
A consensus three-star prospect, Cornish
is ranked in the top 150 players by both Rivals.
com (131) and 247sports.com (128). He said he
had scholarship offers from Oklahoma, Purdue,
VCU, Houston, Texas A&M and Wake Forest.
Martin and Tennessee have been recruiting Cornish since the summer following his freshman
season, and he’s made two visits to Knoxville.
“They’ve been on me the whole way, and
they’ve been straightforward with me,” Cornish
said. “I just felt at home with those guys — with
Coach Martin, Coach [Jon] Harris and the players — and the storied tradition the basketball
program has, it was an easy decision for me.
“I just wanted to get that weight off my
shoulders and be stress free. I already knew,
and I told my parents I knew where I wanted
to go. I just wanted to get it done with.”
Cornish was named to the the Times-Picayune’s all-city team following a strong junior season when he averaged 15.2 points per game. He’s
currently averaging 10.7 points per game with Nike
Team Louisiana on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League circuit and poured in 27 points in the
Louisiana Rising Stars Showcase in Baton Rouge
in March, according to the Times-Picayune.
“I’m a big guard that can attack the rim with
vengeance, get other people involved and also
knock down the 3-point shot consistently,” he
said. “On the other end, I play tough. I’m a knockdown defender and I’ll guard your best player.
“I’m just a tough guy all the way around.”

Bulls pull upset
against Miami
“
”
MONDAY
NBA PLAYOFFS
■ Golden State at San
Antonio, late
By Tim Reynolds
I’ve played on some
tough teams. But this one,
there’s something a little different, something special about
this group.
MIAMI — Nate Robinson was
spitting blood in the first half, then
delivered the deepest cuts of the
night in the final moments. And the
Chicago Bulls reminded the Miami
Heat that no one in the NBA plays
them any tougher.
Yes, the streakbusters struck
again.
Robinson scored 27 points,
Jimmy Butler added 21 points and
a career-high-tying 14 rebounds,
and the Bulls beat Miami 93-86 on
Monday night in Game 1 of their
NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series. The team that snapped
Miami’s 27-game winning streak in
the regular season — the secondlongest in NBA history — found
a way to topple the champs again,
this time ending a run of 12 straight
Heat victories overall.
“I’ve played on some tough
teams,” Robinson said. “But this
one, there’s something a little different, something special about this
group.”
A seven-point deficit midway
through the fourth wasn’t enough
to doom the Bulls, who finished the
game on a 10-0 run in the final 1:59.
And the Bulls weren’t anywhere
near full strength. Kirk Hinrich
was out again with a calf injury.
Luol Deng isn’t even expected to
rejoin the team until today, after
dealing with an illness apparently
so severe that a spinal tap — and
other tests since — were needed
to rule out things such as meningitis.
“So proud of my team, man,
this bed might be good luck after
all,” Deng wrote on Twitter after
the game, with a photo of him in a
hospital bed.
— Chicago’s Nate Robinson
Oh, and Derrick Rose remains
sidelined, as he’s been since April
2012.
No problem. The Heat are 413 in their last 44 games — with
two of those losses to the Bulls,
who are now 3-2 against Miami
this season.
“I think when you’re facing
adversity, you have to be mentally tough,” Bulls coach Tom
Thibodeau said. “But this is just
one game. We have to play a lot
better in our next one.”
LeBron James got his MVP
trophy from commissioner David
Stern before the game, then
struggled to a two-point first half
before finishing with 24 points,
eight rebounds and seven assists
for Miami. Dwyane Wade added
14 points for the Heat, who had no
one else in double figures, finished
shooting 40 percent from the floor
and were outrebounded 46-32.
“I’m not stunned,” James said.
“This is what the playoffs is all
about. We’re going against a really
good team.”
Joakim Noah had 13 points and
11 rebounds for the Bulls, who
got 12 from Taj Gibson and 10
from Marco Belinelli. Game 2 is
Wednesday night in Miami.
“We’re not really a flashy team,”
The Associate Press
Chicago forward Carlos Boozer dunks during the second half of
Game 1 of the Bulls’ playoff series in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat on Monday in Miami. The Bulls won 93-86.
Gibson said. “We like to go out and
do our job.”
Miami was outscored 35-24 in
the fourth quarter, something that
drew the ire of Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra afterward.
“There’s no excuses,” said Spoelstra, whose team had not played
in more than a week. “We’re not
making any excuses for time off
or anything else.”
If anyone could have made
excuses, it was Robinson. He
needed 10 stitches, five in his lip
SPORTSBRIEFS
MONDAY NHL PLAYOFFS
■ N.Y. Rangers 4, Washington 3:
Derek Stepan and Arron Asham both
scored tiebreaking goals in the third
period for the New York Rangers in a
victory over the Capitals in Game 3
on Monday night. The Rangers finally
found their offense and got back into
their first-round playoff series. New
York still trails 2-1 in the Eastern
Conference series, with Game 4 here
Wednesday night. Stepan gave the
Rangers the lead for good with 6:25
remaining when he deftly tipped in a
pass in front from Rick Nash. Asham
had put New York in front 3-2 at 2:53,
but Jay Beagle got the Capitals even
again 4:26 later.
■ Boston 5, Toronto 2: Boston
spoiled the return of playoff hockey
to Toronto, scoring two quick goals in
the second period in a victory over
the Maple Leafs. Adam McQuaid,
Rich Peverley, Nathan Horton, Daniel Paille and David Krejci, with an
empty-net goal with 1:17 remaining,
scored for Boston. After being beaten
4-2 in Boston on Saturday night, the
Bruins upped their game. The Leafs,
meanwhile, made mistakes and were
punished, although they tried to close
the gap with a busy third period in
which they outshot the visitors 18-6.
The Leafs finished with a 47-38 edge
in shots. Game 4 is Wednesday in
Toronto, with Boston leading 2-1 in
the best-of-seven series.
■ Detroit 3, Anaheim 2, OT: Damien
Brunner scored with 4:50 left in overtime, lifting the Red Wings to a win
over the Ducks. Pavel Datsyuk scored
a second game-tying goal for the
Red Wings with 6:33 left in regulation.
Brendan Smith made it 1-1 early in the
third. Matt Beleskey gave the Ducks
their first lead 5:07 into the game and
David Steckel put them ahead midway through the third period. Jonas
Hiller, who shut out Detroit in Game 3,
stopped the first 32 shots and finished
with 46 saves. Jimmy Howard had 31
saves for the Red Wings. Game 5 is
Wednesday night in Anaheim.

Testaverde among 12
chosen for college hall
NEW YORK — Heisman
Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde of Miami has been
selected for induction into
the College Football Hall of

conference at the Nasdaq Stock
Exchange. Testaverde played
four seasons for the Hurricanes and won the Heisman as
a senior in 1986. He finished
his career with 48 touchdown
passes and Miami went 23-3
in Testaverde’s starts. He went
on to become the No. 1 overall
pick in the 1987 NFL draft and
played 21 seasons in the NFL.

Wire reports
officials are reviewing allega-
D.A. weighing charges in ref death
By Brady McCombs
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah
prosecutor said Monday he plans
to decide soon what charges to
file against a teenager accused of
punching a soccer referee who
later died after slipping into a
weeklong coma.
Authorities say the 17-year-old
struck Ricardo Portillo in the head
last month during a recreational
league match after the referee
called a penalty against him.
Hours later, the 46-year-old
went into a coma. He never
regained consciousness and died
Saturday. An autopsy was performed the next day, authorities
said, but the results have not been
made public.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said he and other
officials are reviewing evidence
and state statutes to determine
the appropriate charges, which he
expects to announce by midweek.
The teen, whose name is being
withheld because he is a minor, is
in juvenile detention on suspicion
of aggravated assault. Authorities
are considering additional charges
since Portillo’s death.
Legal analysts say the key factor
for Gill to determine is intent.
Paul Cassell, a criminal law
professor at the University of
Utah, who is not involved in the
case, said that from what he has
seen it doesn’t appear the teenager intended to kill Portillo, which
means a murder charge is highly
unlikely.
More probable is the lesser
charge of “homicide by assault,”
which comes when an attack
unintentionally causes death. The
charge brings up to five years in
prison for adults. Penalties can be
less for juveniles.
“This appears to be a freak and
tragic result of striking a referee,”
said Cassell, a former federal prosecutor and judge. “Clearly that is
a crime, but that is not going to
be murder.”
Tanya Lewis, a private attorney
in Salt Lake City and legal analyst,
who also is not involved in the case,
said the charges should fall between
homicide by assault and manslaughter, which is more serious.
For a manslaughter charge,
prosecutors would have to show
the teen acted with reckless regard
for the risk of death.
Cassell said that could be difficult, essentially requiring prosecutors to prove the defendant
thought, “This might kill the ref,
but I don’t care. I’m mad at him.
I’m moving forward.”
and five more inside his mouth, to
close a nasty cut that came when
he dove for a loose ball with James
and struck his head on the court
late in the first half.
And then not only did he
play the whole second half, but
he scored 24 points in those 24
minutes, including the last seven
points that finished the job for
Chicago.
“He was born a scorer,” Miami
guard Mario Chalmers said.
A pair of three-point plays
by James — one of them coming when he just broke through a
tackle attempt by Butler and muscled the ball to the rim anyway
— gave Miami a 76-69 lead midway through the fourth quarter,
the biggest deficit Chicago faced
all night.
The Bulls were undeterred.
Coming off a Game 7 road win
in Brooklyn two nights earlier just
to get into a series with Miami,
the Bulls just kept grinding. When
Ray Allen made a 3-pointer to give
Miami an 80-78 lead, Butler came
back with one of his own to put
the Bulls back on top. When the
Heat went up by three after James
made a free throw with 2:22 left,
Belinelli connected for 3 — on
a second-effort possession — to
knot the game.
Then when Robinson connected on a 20-footer with 1:18 left, the
Bulls had the lead and plenty of
swagger.
Wade missed a 3-pointer on
the next possession, Robinson
drove the lane and scored with
45.5 seconds left, and suddenly
the Bulls were up 90-86. James
drove against Butler and tried a
12-footer that missed everything,
the Bulls got the rebound, Robinson made a free throw to stretch
the lead to five and the stunner
was complete.
Game 1 to the Bulls.
“It’s all about being tough,” said
Butler, who played all 48 minutes
for the third straight game. “We’re
always going to be the underdogs
and we take pride in that. Everybody can overlook us, but we feel
like we’re good enough to hang
with a lot of these teams.”
It was a night that started with a
celebration, James getting his MVP
award from the commissioner.
“Thank you so much,” James
said. “And let’s get ready to go.”
Golf Hall of Fame
inducts Couples
By Doug Ferguson
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — About
the only thing Fred Couples and
Colin Montgomerie had in common
was a golf swing good enough to
trust for a lifetime.
Couples became the first American to reach No. 1 in
the world and won
the Masters by a
blade of grass that
kept his ball from
trickling into Rae’s
Creek. Montgomerie found fame on
the European Tour,
where he won the
Fred
Order of Merit a
Couples
record seven times
in a row, though he never won a
major, a glaring hole in his credentials.
Couples sauntered down the fairways, the essence of cool. Montgomerie walked with his head down, so
intense he never looked like he was
having much fun.
They shared the stage Monday
night when both were inducted into
the World Golf Hall of Fame, along
with three others in the Class of
2013. The others were former U.S.
Open champion and broadcaster
Ken Venturi, former European Tour
executive director Ken Schofield
and two-time British Open champion and architect Willie Park Jr.
That brings the Hall of Fame to
146 members.
Couples talked about his childhood in Seattle, when his mother
gave him $5 a day in the summer to
play at Jefferson Park. He couldn’t
afford to buy a glove, and Couples
still plays without one. He got choked
up when he mentioned watching a
PGA Tour player put on a clinic in
town when Couples was 14.
“I wasn’t really the person who
said, ‘That’s what I want to do. I’m
going to be a PGA Tour player.’ But
I knew I wanted to really, really get
involved in golf,” Couples said. “And
the gentleman’s name was Lee Trevino, who has been a mentor and
someone I love.”
Couples didn’t look at his notes
or use the teleprompter in the back
of the room. He rambled at times,
as he always does, talking about his
journey from Seattle to the University of Houston, where he first met
CBS announcer Jim Nantz, turned
pro and won 15 times, including that
1992 Masters and the green jacket
ceremony in Butler Cabin with
Nantz. They had rehearsed that
moment in college.
He was overcome with emotion
at the end of the night, reading two
sentences from a piece of paper.
“Thanks for taking a kid from
Seattle and putting him in the Hall
of Fame,” Couples said as his chin
buckled. “This is the coolest night
of my life.”
He walked off the stage in tears,
thrusting both arms in the air.
The election of this year’s class
was not without some debate.
Couples was elected on the PGA
Tour ballot ahead of Mark O’Meara
and Davis Love III, each of whom
either won more tournaments or
more majors. Couples received only
51 percent of the vote, a record low
for the PGA Tour ballot. It takes
65 percent to get elected, though
there is a loophole that if no one
gets 65 percent, one player is elected provided he receives at least 50
percent.
Montgomerie won 31 times on
the European Tour, the most of any
British player, and he was a stalwart
in the Ryder Cup.
The Scot played in
eight of them and
never lost in singles
(6-0-2) while competing on six winning teams. He also
was the winning
captain in Wales in
2010.
He never won on Colin
the biggest stage, Montgomerie
however. Montgomerie lost the
1994 U.S. Open and the 1995 PGA
Championship in a playoff. He was
second to Ernie Els again in the 1997
U.S. Open at Congressional. And the
most painful of all came in 2006 at
Winged Foot, when he made double bogey from the middle of the
18th fairway and finished one shot
behind Geoff Ogilvy.
“That’s the one that hurts,” Montgomerie said of Winged Foot, noting
another Hall of Fame member, Phil
Mickelson, also made double bogey
on the 18th. “The four or five others,
really, somebody happened to beat
me. The 2006 Winged Foot, I beat
myself. And that’s where it hurts
most. So that has taken the most to
recover from.”
Montgomerie is the fourth player
in the last four years to be inducted
into the Hall of Fame without having won a major. The others were
Jumbo Ozaki, Jock Hutchison and
Christy O’Connor Sr. A fifth would
be Peter Alliss, who won 23 times
on the European Tour, though he
was recognized more for his work
with the BBC.
Venturi was a premier amateur
out of San Francisco, leading the
1956 Masters until an 80 in the final
round. Venturi captured the 1964
U.S. Open at Congressional, in such
stifling heat that he suffered from
severe dehydration and nearly collapsed before he finished. When
carpal tunnel syndrome ended his
career, he moved to the broadcast
booth and enjoyed 35 years of distinguished service to CBS Sports.
Venturi became Presidents Cup
captain in 2000.

This Date in Baseball
May 7
1917 — Babe Ruth of the Red Sox allowed two hits
as he outdueled Walter Johnson of the Washington
Senators 1-0. Ruth knocked in the winning run with
a sacrifice fly.
1922 — Jesse Barnes of the New York Giants pitched
the only no-hitter of the year, beating the Philadelphia
Phillies 6-0.
1925 — Pittsburgh shortstop Glenn Wright made an
unassisted triple play in the ninth inning against the St.
Louis Cardinals when he caught Jim Bottomley’s line
drive, stepped on second to double Jimmy Cooney,
and tagged Rogers Hornsby coming from first.
1957 — Cleveland pitcher Herb Score was hit on the
right eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald in
the first inning. The ball broke Score’s nose and damaged his eye; he missed the rest of the season.
1959 — A crowd of 93,103 came to the Los Angeles
Coliseum on “Roy Campanella Night” to show its affection for the paralyzed Dodger catcher. The Dodgers
were beaten by the New York Yankees 6-2 in an exhibition game that followed the ceremonies.
1960 — Norm Sherry, a replacement catcher for the
..
Los Angeles Dodgers, hit a home run in the 11th inning
to give his brother, relief pitcher Larry Sherry, a 3-2
triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies in Los Angeles.
1997 — The Montreal Expos scored 13 runs to set an
NL record for runs in a sixth inning during their 19-3
win over the San Francisco Giants. Montreal added five
runs in the fifth to set a National League record for runs
in consecutive innings with 18.
2008 — Carlos Gomez became the first Minnesota
player to hit for the cycle in 22 years in a 13-1 victory
over the Chicago White Sox. Gomez homered off Mark
Buehrle on the game’s third pitch. He added an RBI
triple in the fifth, doubled in a run in the sixth and
completed the cycle with an infield single to lead off
a six-run ninth.
2008 — Joey Votto hit three homers as Cincinnati
beat Chicago 9-0. Jon Lieber became only the second
pitcher in Cubs history to give up four homers in an
inning. Votto started a four-homer second inning off
Lieber, who was making his first start of the season.
Adam Dunn and Paul Bako also had solo shots, and
Jerry Hairston Jr.’s two-run homer completed the history-matching rally.

Cincinnati’s Derrick Robinson returns safely to first as Atlanta first baseman Freddie
Freeman catches a pickoff throw in the fifth inning Monday.
Braves
• Continued from Page D1
drove in a run off Arroyo,
who needed 98 pitches to
get through five innings. Jordan Schafer added his first
career pinch-hit homer as
the Braves pulled away.
The injury-sapped Braves
got a little closer to full strength
when catcher Brian McCann
was activated off the disabled
list, completing a comeback
from surgery on his throwing
shoulder last October. The six-
time All-Star started and went
0-for-4 with a walk.
Right fielder Jason Heyward also increased his workout activities while recovering from surgery to remove
his appendix on April 22.
The Braves will decide by
the end of the week whether
he’s ready to start a rehab
assignment in the minors.
The Braves made it tough
on Arroyo from the outset.
Freeman singled home a run
in the first inning, but Atlanta left the bases loaded when
Dan Uggla struck out.
Simmons led off the second
inning with a homer down the
third-base line. Uggla opened
the fourth with his second triple of the season — a ball into
the gap in right-center field
— and scored on Simmons’
single off the glove of Zack
Cozart in the hole at shortstop
for a 3-0 lead.
Evan Gattis doubled home
a run in the fifth off Arroyo.
The Braves pulled away with
three runs in the eighth off
Ondrusek.
Votto doubled home a run
in the eighth inning, extending his hitting streak to nine
games.
A-Rod back on a field
TAMPA, Fla. — Alex
Rodriguez got back on a
New York Yankees ballfield
for the first time since surgery on his left hip almost
four months ago.
He joined a group of
injured Yankees starters
Monday at the team’s minor
league complex. The 37-yearold third baseman ran, played
catch and hit off a tee.
Rodriguez said it was
“like being 8 years old again
when I first grabbed a bat.”
He added that it was “pretty
exciting” and he’s “really
looking forward to getting
back.”
He could return to the
Yankees after the All-Star
break. A surgeon repaired
a torn labrum and impingement in the Jan. 16 operation
in New York.
“It feels good to be back
out in uniform,” Rodriguez
said. “It’s been a rough stretch
with the rehab, obviously. It’s
small bites at a time.”
Rodriguez is in a 30-day
rehab schedule setup by his
doctors and team officials.
“We’re taking it four
weeks at a time,” Rodriguez
said. “Today is one of 30.”
The upbeat A-Rod signed
autographs and took photos
with about 40 fans waiting
for him outside the players’
parking lot. Fans driving
by stopped their car near
the complex driveway and
jumped out to have photos
taken.
“I have a lot of unfinished
business,” said Rodriguez,
who struggled offensively
late last season. “I’m really
looking forward to getting
back on the field close to
100 percent and being who
I am.”
Outfielder Curtis Granderson (broken right forearm),
first baseman Mark Teixeira
(right wrist), corner infielder
Kevin Youkilis (lumbar spine
sprain) and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand)
also are rehabbing injuries
in Florida.
“It’s great seeing him,”
Teixeira said. “He’s just
happy to be back, doing some
baseball activities. He’s got a
big smile on his face right
now, which is great.”
Shortstop Derek Jeter
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez signs
autographs for fans at the Yankees Minor League complex Monday in Tampa, Fla.
also is on the disabled list
with a broken ankle and is
not expected back until after
the All-Star break.
“We always talk about
injuries are a part of the
game, but this is crazy,”
Rodriguez said. “I’ve never
seen anything like it. But I’ve
got to tell you, the way those
guys are playing up there, the
job the front office has done
putting these guys together
at the last minute, hats off to
everyone.”
The Miami New Times
reported this year that
Rodriguez bought human
growth hormone and other
performance-enhancing substances in recent years from
Biogenesis of America LLC,
a now-closed clinic in Coral
Cables, near the three-time
AL MVP’s offseason home.
Rodriguez has denied the
allegations.
“I can only control what
I can control,” Rodriguez
said. “I’m really focusing
on all the great things that
have happened in the game.
I’m really focused on getting
healthy and just getting back
and helping the Yankees win
a championship.”
A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez had right hip surgery on
March 9, 2009, and returned
that May 8. He is due $114
million over the next five
years as part of his $275 million, 10-year contract.
Jeter found out he fractured his left ankle for a
second time in six months
on April 18. At that time the
Yankees said the team captain should be able to resume
his rehabilitation when the
new crack heals in about
four to eight weeks.
Out since injuring his
wrist with the U.S. on March
5 before the World Baseball
Classic, Teixeira took batting
practice in an indoor cage
and hopes to start on-field
BP in the next few days.
“I’m very, very happy
with where I am right now,”
Teixeira said.
Granderson, who broke
the arm Feb. 24 in his first atbat of spring training when
he was hit by a pitch from
Toronto’s J.A. Happ, is playing in extended-spring-training games and expected to
rejoin the team this month.
Youkilis is eligible to
come off the 15-day disabled
list next Monday. Cervelli
broken his hand April 26 and
is expected to miss at least
six weeks.

Six area
teams set
for state
Frazier
By David Uchiyama
Staff Writer
The Dalton High School
girls’ golf team already qualified for the Georgia Class
AAAA state tournament to be
held May 20 at the nearby Nob
North course.
Heritage, Northwest Whitfield and Southeast Whitfield
will be there with the Lady
Catamounts by virtue of their
finishes Monday in a GHSA
sectional at Blueberry Plantation, which is about 20 minutes
south of Augusta.
“It’s most definitely worth the
trip,” Northwest girls’ coach John
Linder said. “We knew there were
13 teams for 11 spots, and we felt
pretty confident going in. We felt
this was a time to sharpen things.
We advanced and yet we found
out that we have work to do.”
His Lady Bruins shot a
three-player score of 302 with
Dallas Coker and Alicia Cole
each shooting 100.
Southeast advanced with
senior Megan Collins leading
the way with a 7-over-par 79.
“At the beginning of the year,
we were thinking we couldn’t
reach state,” Southeast coach
Todd Murray said. “Then as it
got closer to region, we were
on the bubble. And we took six
strokes off our score today from
what we shot at regionals. Playing at state is a big positive for
our program and our school.”
Heritage will be joining
the three schools from within
Whitfield County at the public
course just north of Dalton. The
Ringgold-based Lady Generals
shot a 278 with senior Rachel
Rebne shooting a 77 and earning unofficial medalist honors.
Only Carrollton’s 251 beat the
Lady Generals.
“Our goal was to make state,
and that’s done,” Heritage
coach Kevin Terry said. “Anything else is icing on the cake.
Our three seniors are going to
go out in style.”
All four area Class AAAA
girls’ teams that qualified have
plans to play as much golf at
Nob North as possible in the
next 13 days.
“We’re going to wear that
course out as much as we can,”
Linder said. “We’d like to get
about five full 18-hole rounds in
and shore up our short game on
the days in between.”
The Trion and Gordon Lee
girls qualified Monday for the
Class A state tournament. Trion
won the sectional with two girls
counting a total of 195, and Gordon Lee was runner-up with a
196. The Trion boys’ team finished fifth and six shots out of
qualifying for the state.
“We’ll go to state with Gordon Lee and battle them again,”
Trion coach Doug Wilson said.

Atlanta cornerbacks Robert Alford, left, and Desmond Trufant run a drill at the Falcons’ rookie minicamp.
New Falcons ‘very nice’
By Charles Odum
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. —
Mike Smith tested Atlanta Falcons
rookies with an overload of information in a short period of time.
The coach said the first-year players survived the test during three
practices at the rookie camp. Topped
by Atlanta’s first two draft picks, cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford, the class also showed skills
to impress Smith and his staff.
“We gave them a whole bunch
the last three days, and I think they
handled it extremely well,” Smith said
after the final session Sunday. “We
wanted to see how they could handle
the things mentally, and they did a
very nice job.”
The draft picks were joined by
undrafted rookie free agents signed
by the team and first-year players
invited for tryouts. It was the start of
what Smith said is the “recalibration”
of the Falcons roster.
Highlights included the speed
of Trufant and Alford, the strength
and pass-rush promise of defensive
end Malliciah Goodman and the size
and good hands of 6-foot-8 tight end
Levine Toilolo.
Trufant, the first-round pick from
Washington, and Alford, the secondround pick from Southeastern Louisiana, needed no introduction. Alford
had an 88-yard kickoff return to open
the Senior Bowl, and he was denied a
touchdown when caught by Trufant.
“I haven’t even said anything yet,”
Trufant said with a smile as he looked
over at Alford. “I’m about to say
something though. It’s all good. He’s
a great player and we’re just going to
get better together.”
Alford said the two developed
“camaraderie” at the Senior Bowl that
will be strengthened as they continue
to be linked at cornerback and as the
Falcons’ top 2013 draft picks.
“We’re always talking football,”
Alford said. “Anything we have questions about, we can ask each other
and help each other get better.”
Alford’s long return was part of
his strong Senior
Bowl performance
that impressed Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff.
Alford, who returned
a punt 75 yards for
a touchdown in his
senior season, said
he had to give TruMike Smith fant credit for keeping him out of the end
zone on the long kickoff return.
“It was just a play that happened,”
Alford said. “He got me. I got a little tired on the long run and he got
me.”
By drafting the two cornerbacks,
the Falcons established a determination to fill needs in the draft.
Dimitroff picked two defensive ends
— Goodman and Stansly Maponga
— and added more help at defensive
back with safeties Zeke Motta and
Ishmael Kemal.
Toilolo, meanwhile, towered over
the class. He showed good hands
in the rookie camp, disproving any
thought he is just a big blocking tight
end.
Toilolo had 50 catches, including
10 for touchdowns, at Stanford. He
will have a year to take notes while
playing behind Tony Gonzalez, who
plans to retire after the 2013 season.
Owls, Lady Trojans
lead 5-AAA tennis
By Gene Henley
Staff Writer
ATHENS, Tenn. — The
Soddy-Daisy girls’ tennis
team has been on the cusp of
winning an outright district
championship before, as last
season the Lady Trojans fell
just short.
Through the first day of
the 2013 District 5-AAA individual tournament, they’ve
given themselves a chance
to break through.
The Lady Trojans lead
the way after the first day
of competition at Ingleside
Park with six points. They’ll
have to hold off charges from
Walker Valley, Cleveland and
Rhea County — all of whom
are within two points.
The Ooltewah boys lost
only one match Monday
and lead with seven points
— one ahead of Walker Valley, which has six.
Soddy-Daisy’s girls and
Ooltewah’s boys won the
regular-season titles, but
should another team win
more matches in the individual tournament, the Lady
Trojans or Owls would have
to defend its title in a onematch playoff Wednesday.
The Lady Trojans were in
a similar situation last season and fell in the playoff to
Walker Valley.
“I think it still eats at the
girls,” Soddy-Daisy coach
Lorri Johnson said. “They
remember what it felt like
and are wanting to do whatever to fight and win.
“They don’t want to hand
the plaque to somebody else.”
The team region tournament begins Thursday with
the girls. The boys will play
Friday.
Soddy-Daisy and Walker
Valley each has two entries
still playing for individual
titles, and the two face off
in a doubles match this afternoon at 1.
Ooltewah’s boys have
both doubles teams playing,
as well as Bryson Lype in
singles.
“I thought we took care of
business today, but tomorrow
is a different day,” Ooltewah
coach Ken Buchanan said.
“We’re not looking too far
ahead. We’re just taking it
one match at a time.”
Plott signs with Tigers
Coahulla Creek senior
catcher Scout Plott signed
to play baseball for Chattanooga State last week.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound
Plott hit .350 this season and
threw out 10 of 18 runners
trying to steal.
“He’s an outstanding
defensive catcher with an
unbelievably strong arm,”
Colts coach Michael Bolen
said. “He’s got great feet and
he blocks the ball extremely
well. Offensively, he’s only
going to improve.”
Toilolo looks like a basketball
power forward in football pads.
“He’s hard to miss out there,”
Smith said. “He did a nice job improving in his understanding and his route
running. I thought he caught the ball
well. It’s going to be fun to watch him
be mentored by Tony Gonzalez.”
Toilolo, listed at 265 pounds, got
much of his action as a receiver in
red-zone situations at Stanford. He
said he also spent time as a blocker.
“I think when you’re that size
everyone wants to categorize you as
a good blocker,” Smith said. “Obviously his efficiency in the red zone
is well-documented. When you throw
the ball to a guy in the red zone, you
want to make sure he’s going to catch
the ball. So I think that kind of says
what kind of hands he has.”
The Falcons released defensive
end John Abraham after the season
and signed free agent Osi Umenyiora from the Giants. Goodman has a
chance to start with Umenyiora.
Maponga, recovering from a left
foot injury, was only an observer during the rookie camp.
Quarterback Sean Renfree, a
seventh-round pick from Duke, is
recovering from a shoulder injury
and couldn’t throw during the camp.
Renfree took snaps and made handoffs.
All the passing was handled by
undrafted rookie Seth Doege of Texas
Tech, and Graham Wilbert, in camp
on a tryout from Florida Atlantic.
The Falcons will begin offseason
team activities May 28-30, followed
by more work June 4-6 and June 1114. The team’s mandatory minicamp
is June 18-20.

“Kiehl was in this offense
as a true freshman, but we
weren’t able to put the whole
package in with him because
he wasn’t here in the spring,”
Malzahn said. “He learned a
new offense last year, and it
was a little bit of a learning
curve for him this spring in
those first couple of practices. About halfway through, it
started to click, and you could
see that a lot of the stuff was
coming back to him.
“I feel like he ended spring
on a strong note, and what I
mean by that was he had a
good understanding of our
base offense and the communication that goes along
with the no-huddle aspect of
it and the base reads in our
passing game.”
Malzahn has bracketed
Frazier as a co-No. 1 with
sophomore Jonathan Wallace, who was the starter
throughout November as
the Tigers concluded a dismal 3-9 season. Wallace completed 18 of 26 passes for 191
yards and two touchdowns
during the A-Day game on
April 20, while Frazier was
10-of-16 for 125 yards with one
touchdown as well as a rushing score.
“I feel I did all right this
spring,” said Frazier, who
also fumbled a snap and suffered three sacks at A-Day. “I
was able to get most of the
procedure down, and I felt
pretty comfortable.”
Frazier rushed 76 times for
327 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman changeof-pace option for Malzahn,
and he threw
12 passes with
five completions and
two i n te r ceptions.
The 6-foot-2,
228-pounder
earned the
starting job

benched Frazier during the
fifth game against Arkansas and replaced him with
senior Clint Moseley, who
was replaced in the ninth
game by Wallace. The 6-2,
205-pound Wallace is from
Phenix City, Ala., and joining
the mix this summer will be
Jeremy Johnson from Montgomery, a 6-6, 215-pounder
who was a Rivals.com top100 prospect.
Of course, upgrading an
offense that ranked 115th
out of 120 Bowl Subdivision
teams will take more than a
new staff and improved play
at quarterback. Tailback Tre
Mason is back after rushing for 1,002 yards and 5.86
yards a carry last year as a
sophomore, but the Tigers
are having to replace tailback
Onterio McCalebb, receiver
Emory Blake and tight end
Philip Lutzenkirchen.
“We do have a young
offensive line that we think
is extremely talented, and
that group up front is starting to jell more and more,”
Malzahn said. “I think the
future is going to be very
bright up front. I think the
running back position was a
concern depth-wise coming
in, but Cameron Artis-Payne
and Corey Grant both had
very solid springs. We know
what we have with Tre.
“With our receivers, we
have a lot of guys who are
very young, but we feel like
we’ll have the chance to
improve. The pieces around
the quarterback position have
a lot of potential.”

Blackburn thinks UTC softball issue settled
By Jim Tanner
Staff Writer
University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga athletic director
David Blackburn said Monday
that he believes the incident
involving the Lady Mocs softball team forfeiting a game is
in the past.
Last Tuesday, UTC forfeited the second game of a
scheduled doubleheader at
Alabama-Birmingham when,
reportedly, the players refused
to take the field. The forfeit
resulted in an automatic suspension of coach Frank Reed
for two games, per NCAA
rules, and the team’s two fouryear seniors, Sara Poteat and
Kasey Tydingco subsequently
left the team.
“It turned out to be a discipline issue within the team.
There was the forfeiture of the
game, and we’ve dealt with
that internally with
the coach and with the
team,” Blackburn said
Monday after speaking to the Quarterback
Club. “Obviously the
[Southern Conference] tournament is
starting Wednesday,
so everything has Frank
been handled. We look forward to them lining up and
moving forward.”
UTC is the No. 6
seed in the tournament in Greensboro,
N.C., and will take on
No. 3 seed Georgia
Southern on the first
day of the doubleelimination tournament.
Reed
“Hopefully everything’s been finalized and they
can regroup and have a good
showing in the tournament,”
Blackburn said.
The SoCon announced its
regular-season all-conference
teams Monday, and second
baseman Poteat joined sophomore third baseman Sarah
Beth Roberts and freshman
outfielder Sam Taylor on the
second team. Taylor, from
Gordon Lee High School, and
catcher Anyssa Robles were
named to the all-freshman
squad.
Appalachian State’s Allie
Cashion was named player of
the year, and Mountaineers
coach Shae Wesley is coach
of the year. Georgia Southern’s
Sarah Purvis was selected as
the league’s top pitcher, and
UNC Greensboro’s Lindsay
Thomas is freshman of the
year.

Golf Mocs headed
to Ohio State regional
By David Uchiyama
Staff Writer
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s golf
team is heading to an NCAA
regional for the seventh
straight year.
The Mocs knew they were
going to the NCAA postseason even before they played
in the Southern Conference
tournament, based on their
ranking. But winning the
SoCon title gave them the
league’s automatic bid as they
try for a second consecutive
regional championship.
Monday night, the Mocs
learned they were seeded
eighth for the Midwest
Regional, which will be played
May 16-18 in Columbus, Ohio,
on the Scarlet Course of the
Ohio State Golf Club. The
original course was designed
by Alister McKenzie, and
OSU alumnus Jack Nicklaus
tweaked it in 2005-06, making it a staple for USGA and
NCAA competitions.
“I like the draw for us
because a lot of Southern
teams have to go north and
a lot of Western teams have
to come east and Ohio State
is not in our field,” said UTC
coach Mark Guhne, whose
team is ranked No. 48 by
Golfweek. “I feel that it sets
up pretty well and it gives us
a good shot.”
The top five teams (and
selected individuals not on
those teams) from each of
six regionals will advance
to the NCAA championship
tournament May 28-June 2 at
Atlanta’s Capital City Club—
Crabapple Course.

wind.” During the Q&A portion of the talk, the Loudon
native, who spent more than
two decades at the University
of Tennessee, didn’t hesitate
to say, “I don’t know,” when
asked about something he
hasn’t yet had time to study.
That happened on several
occasions.
“It’s a bit embarrassing,
actually, but I’m not afraid
to say, ‘I don’t know,’ if I don’t

days other than Saturday,
Blackburn said, “I’m a little
more on the creative side of
scheduling. I’m personally all
for [Thursday night games].
But as the son of high school
football coach, I’m certainly
not for butting up against high
school football. I hope I’m a
little smarter than that.”
Much of that is surely
what the faithful wanted to
hear and needed to hear. But
Blackburn also told of his personal struggles, of losing both
his father and sister to cancer
during his early adulthood;
of his years as both a student
manager and student assistant to Johnny Majors; even
of his days as a tennis player
at Tennessee Tech.
“I can’t tell you how many
cups of coffee I brought
coaches,” he said of those
early days inside the UT football program in the late 1980s.
“But it allowed me to build
a network; it allowed me to
learn about recruiting.”
It allowed him to impress
Phillip Fulmer enough that
when Fulmer became the
head coach of the football
Volunteers, he soon called
Blackburn to ask him to be
his assistant recruiting coordinator, a post that quickly led
to a different position in the
athletic department involving
fundraising.
“Before that, I had no idea
what fed the engine,” he said as
he pointed toward the crowd.
“You guys are what allows us
to do what we do. That helped
me as much as anything to
learn how to become a director of athletics.”
Blackburn will learn a lot
this first year. If his basketball hirings don’t immediately
impress, the fans will attempt
to teach him how much he
doesn’t know.
Keenly aware of that
dynamic, he said, “I may not
be here if I get it wrong.”
But he seemed to get all of
it right Monday.
Said lifelong Mocs fan
Marshall Harvey: “I liked him
talking about his background
and family values. He seems
like a first-class kind of guy.”
Added Rusty Scott, a season-ticket holder for 30 years:
“I like his energy, that he’s
sincerely glad to be here. I
liked his frankness, that he
chances of playing against
Tennessee more often — in
all sports, but especially football and basketball — Blackburn said he hopes his UT
connections can help facilitate matchups with numerous
major-conference schools.
“I’d love nothing more
than to get them in the arena
and beat them,” he said,
drawing many murmurs of
approval from the crowd.

Quarterback Club.
Like many other areas,
Blackburn said he wanted
to study UTC’s fundraising
before saying much publicly about what needs to be
done in the future. He did
say UTC needs to be a little
more aggressive.
“It’s not offensive to ask
someone to give,” he said. “In
fact, I find that most people
find that flattering if they
care about the product.”

to fake it, and there’s so many
things that I haven’t had the
chance to know yet.”
Among the topics covered
either in his address or during the Q&A were scheduling and fundraising. Blackburn did a lot of fundraising
during his time at Tennessee,
and he said that’s a high-priority area at UTC.
Speaking to a group that
gives to UTC and is interested
in the Mocs, Blackburn said
“you guys are what allows us
to do what we do.” At the end,

New Mexico, Stanford,

seeded teams in the OSU
regional, followed by UNLV,

Georgia Southern is the No.
9 seed and will be paired
with the Mocs for the opening round.
“All the regions are tough,
but I like what I’m seeing,”
Guhne said. “The goal is
always to win, any coach will
tell you that. Another goal
is to put three good rounds
on the board that will get us
through to the next level.”
Last year, UTC did just
that. It won the South Central
Regional by one stroke over
Texas A&M at Olde Stone
Fort in Bowling Green, Ky.
Then-senior Stephan Jaeger
earned medalist honors with
a 13-under 203. Current senior
Steven Fox, the reigning U.S.
Amateur champion, tied for
third with a 211.
From there, the Mocs
advanced to the NCAA
championship event, where
they placed 18th at the Riviera Country Club near Los
Angeles. UTC also reached
the 2009 title competition at
Inverness Country Club.
“Both times that we got
through, we got off to good
starts,” Guhne said. “You don’t
want to be playing catch-up.
We were around the lead in
’09 at Karsten Creek, and we
were around the lead all of
last year.”

eading, writing, and arithmetic —
the basics of an education, right?
But for some youngsters, writing is the hardest to conquer.
That’s why McCallie School
freshman English teacher Erin Tocknell
started the Creative Writing Outreach
Program in the spring of 2012, a volunteer-led effort that pairs McCallie students with fourth- and fifth-graders from
Orchard Knob Elementary and Calvin
Donaldson Elementary schools.
The McCallie students meet with the
youngsters every Saturday throughout
the school year, teaching them to improve
their writing and speaking skills. Tocknell
says the McCallie students plan and execute every detail of the program.
The students’ stories, along with some
photographs they took, will be featured
in a published journal, “Tales from Donaldson and Orchard,” to be unveiled at a
private reception on May 14 at McCallie
School. Among those in attendance will be
families of the students, representatives of
area businesses and teachers.
“The students will read selected works,
and the event will act as a launch party for
the collaborative journal,” says McCallie
senior Dan Meagher, the program’s president.
Imani Rowe, 10, a fifth-grader at Orchard
Knob, says he enjoys spending his Saturday
mornings with the McCallie students.
“When I first started, I used to put my
face behind my paper,” he says. “I was
reading slow, and I was quiet. When I
go to the writing academy now, I put my
paper down, and I’m not shy.”
Imani says he also enjoys activities that
teach them to speak loudly and clearly.
“When we’re in the gym, sometimes
they’ll tell us to scream out our name, and
we do different activities that involve our
voice,” he says.
Meagher says the program has been
equally fulfilling for the older students/
teachers.

In the year ahead, you
are likely to get an opportunity to take over two
endeavors that have been
started by others. You could
turn them both into winners.
TAURUS (April
20- May 20):
You may be
holding all the trump cards,
but you’re not likely to use
this power unjustly. The
opposition will admire and
appreciate your restraint.
GEMINI (May
21- June 20):
Because someone
has helped you when
you needed it in the past,
your compassion is easily
aroused. Admirably, you’ll
be the first to respond to
someone in need.
CANCER (June

issue of personal
interest might also appeal to
your friends. Although they
may not know how to turn
it into a group endeavor,
you do.

In a community-property state, a divorce AFTER

you from having to share the spoils
with your soon-to-be (and probably
bitter) ex-spouse. My husband and
I would start by consulting a lawyer/financial planner to protect our

Gluten-free diet relieves
gas, bloating, diarrhea
DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a healthy young person,
but I tend to have a lot of gas, bloating and diarrhea.
Could a gluten-free diet help me?
DEAR READER: Glutenfree eating is essential for
people with celiac disease,
which is an intolerance to
the protein gluten.
Gluten gives structure
and texture to breads,
pastas, cereals and baked
goods. It is also used as a
flavoring, thickener and
stabilizer in foods such
as ice cream, sauces and
condiments.
So gluten is
in a lot of
foods. About
300,000
Americans
are diagnosed
with celiac
Dr. K
disease. In
Dr. Anthony
people with
Komaroff
this disease, gluten provokes the
immune system to attack
the lining of the small
intestine. It causes gas,
bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headache, trouble
concentrating and fatigue.
It also leads to weight loss
and malnutrition.
For people with celiac
disease, following a strict
gluten-free diet is essential.
In its most severe form,
celiac disease can cause
life-threatening diarrhea
and dehydration.
Given your symptoms,
you should talk to your doctor about getting tested for
celiac disease. If you have
it, you definitely should be
on a gluten-free diet.
Even five years ago,
I would have said there’s
no point in your following a gluten-free diet if
you don’t test positive for
celiac disease. Two million
Americans follow a glutenfree diet — and that’s a lot
more than have celiac disease. Many really believe
it helps them, and recent
studies have found that
they may be right.
There now is good evidence for a condition called
non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
It causes gas, bloating and
indigestion, but no intestinal damage. The evidence
for non-celiac gluten sensitivity comes from studies of people who believe
they have gluten sensitivity.
The people have been chosen at random to eat foods
containing gluten or not
containing gluten — with
neither the doctors nor the
subjects in the study knowing what they were eating.
Those who thought they
had symptoms from gluten
really did.
If you don’t have celiac
disease but you have symptoms after consuming gluten, try a gluten-free diet to
see if you feel better. Many
foods now are labeled as
being gluten-free. By cutting out gluten-containing
foods, you may reduce your
fiber intake from whole
grains. You may also miss
out on vitamins and minerals that you’d normally get
from fortified foods. Contact a registered dietitian.
He or she can help.

Owner Steuart Dewar and his wife, JoBeth, right, feed Willie B. Jr. a treat through a slot in the window at The
Dewar Wildlife Refuge in Morganton, Ga.
Gorilla
• Continued from Page E1
Horton, because they are living the life of Riley.
“It’s the Gorilla Hilton up
here,” Horton says.
That is exactly as it was
planned. Ten years ago, software entrepreneur and British expatriate Steuart Dewar
and his then-wife, Jane Dewar,
opened Gorilla Haven as a
retirement village for male
gorillas on 300-plus acres of
Fannin County forest, near
Morganton, Ga., about two
hours north of Atlanta. They
built a 14-foot concrete wall
that enclosed 8 acres of green
space, and high-tech “dorms”
to house the gorillas at night.
With state of the art veterinary facilities and trained
professionals overseeing the
animals, the refuge earned
approval from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
The cost: about $6 million.
Steuart Dewar, an old-school
polymath who had made his
fortune in newspaper publishing software, helped cover the
cost of construction with the
proceeds of a calendar application he tinkered together
for Palm and Handspring
devices.
Then the economy tanked,
which hurt potential support
from zoos, as well as Dewar’s
revenues. One of their gorillas, Oliver, was transferred
to the Columbus, Ohio, zoo
in 2009, leaving them with a
single resident, the aging and
ailing Joe. And the Dewars
went through a contentious
divorce.
Hopes for the refuge
dimmed. Steel panels for a
planned expansion remained
stacked in an unfinished
group facility. Then Zoo
Atlanta began to take an interest in the refuge as a possible
solution for the ongoing challenge of the male gorilla.
Western lowland gorillas
live in social units comprised
of one adult male (a silverback), several females and
their offspring. When young
males grow up, they are forced
out of their clan by the dominant male, with the hope that
they will start their own social
units. But since captive breeding programs have produced
as many males as females (or
even, during recent years,
slightly more males than
females, for no apparent reason), that means many males
will not get lucky.
Zoos have tried to create bachelor groups so that
adult males aren’t forced to
live in solitary confinement.
But for a facility such as Zoo
Atlanta with a collection of 21
gorillas, assembling compatible groups in the smallish 3
acres available is as tricky as
planning an anarchists convention.
When the teenaged Jasiri
and Kidogo started beating
up on the younger Mbeli in
one of Zoo Atlanta’s bachelor
groups, the newly renamed
Dewar Wildlife Trust offered
a safety valve. The two older
apes were moved to the trust
from Atlanta in January of
2012. “It was great having this
opportunity,” Horton says.
Zoo Atlanta pays for two
full-time curators, Horton and
Bobby Fellows, to care for the
14-year-old gorillas, both of
which remain property of
the zoo. The zoo also supplies other in-kind support,
including gorilla chow.
Now the Dewar Wildlife
Trust is opening the facility for tours, creating some
revenue to offset operation
expenses. (They play on the
Jurassic look of the place
by calling the enterprise
“Dewarassic Tours.”) A youth
group recently enjoyed an
overnight at the facility, hanging their hammocks in one
of the unused gorilla dormitories.
The gorillas enjoy the
tours, says Dewar, as he and
his wife, JoBeth Dewar, watch
Fellows work on training with
Kidogo (also called Willie B.
Jr.). “They like being interactive.”
Zoo Atlanta Deputy Director Dwight Lawson says if
his zoo acquired the refuge it
could create a satellite facility that would appeal to a
different geographical area,
and could also provide elbow
room allowing breeding programs for other animals, such
as the Sumatran tigers. He

Auto advice from Angie’s
List: Brake maintenance
By Angie Hicks
www.angieslist.com
Driving around with
brakes that are screeching or
grinding can be more than
just irritating — it’s a big
red flag to get your brakes
checked out immediately.
The good news is the
screeching is actually part
of a built-in system with the
brake pads — called a wear
indicator — that is designed
to alert people their brake
pads are running thin and
may need to be replaced. So
by taking quick action when
the screeching starts, you
may avoid a costly fix.
“It’s hard to say what the
most important thing on your
car is, but safety wise, brakes
are definitely one of the most
important things,” said Duke
Cardwell, an auto technician
with the Car Care Center of
Sacramento, Calif. “You need
to take your car in if you hear
a sound.”
Having your vehicle’s
brakes looked at by a professional at the first sign of
trouble will not only bring
safety to you and your family, it could save you hundreds of dollars in the long
run. Brakes get progressively
worse the longer you wait to
repair them, so contact an
auto technician when you
first hear the noise.
Rod Tate, with Colony
One Auto Center in Stafford,
Texas, said brakes should be
checked about every 10,000
miles to see if they’re working properly.
“By ignoring the squealing brakes or the brake light,
you can destroy the brake
rotors and possibly the calipers, easily adding hundreds
of dollars to a brake job,” Tate
said. “Keep in mind that just
■ By ignoring the
squealing brakes or the
brake light, you can

and possibly the calipers,

dollars to a brake job.
because your car stops when
you’re pushing the brake
pedal doesn’t mean everything is OK. You have to pay
attention to the sound and
feel of your brakes. A little
common sense will go a long
way.”
Often times, your brakes
only need new pads, which
can cost between $100 and
$300 to replace. If the brake
pads go out, damage can be
caused to your rotors or calipers, leading to an expensive
replacement of up to $1,000
or more. The pads are connected to the calipers, which
clamp down on the rotor to
make the tires stop.
Cardwell said, while the
squealing sound often comes
from your brake pads, a grinding noise means something
is rubbing against the rotors.
Pulsations or vibrations when
you apply the brake pedal
also indicate there is a problem with your rotors.
“Generally, the f irst
thing people will need are
their brake pads replaced,”
Cardwell said. “You’ll hear
that high-pitch squeal noise
warning you the brake pads
are about 2 or 3 percent from
metal to metal contact with
the rotors,” Cardwell said.
“It’s a great reminder not to
ignore it when you hear that
high-pitch squeal.”
Tate said a lack of brake
fluid maintenance can also
be an issue.
“Brake fluid should be
flushed out of the system and
replaced about every 30,000
miles because it accumulates
moisture and can boil at a
lower temperature and also
damage the internal parts of
your brakes’ hydraulic system,” Tate said.
Brake fluid should be
checked frequently for condensation, which can be
harmful to the braking system.
Pads, meanwhile, should be
replaced every 25,000 miles,
but that varies depending on
whether you do the bulk of
your driving on city roads
or on the highway. Stop-andgo driving likely will mean
quicker replacement
People can also increase
the longevity of their brakes
by not putting so much pressure on the petal when they
brake. Two-footed drivers
can also wear down brakes.
“The number-one thing I
see all the time in automatic
transmission cars is people driving with two feet,”
Cardwell said. “Two-foot
drivers rest their foot on the
brake pedal. Sometimes they
don’t think they’re touching
it, but just applying one percent of pressure can cause
significant damage to your
brakes and brake pads.”
It’s important to have your
brakes looked at by a trusted
auto technician. Tate said one
of the biggest gimmicks he’s
seen is advertisements for
low-cost brake pads, only to
be told by the technician you
also need new rotors, calipers
and cylinders.

at 36 acres, is smaller than
most in a city of Atlanta’s size.
(Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia,
S.C., and the North Carolina
Zoo in Asheboro, N.C., both
exceed 100 acres.) “It could
be developed to appeal to an
entirely different audience,”
he says. The only challenge:
cash.
What the zoo would get
would be a superb facility,
says Kristen Lukas, curator
of conservation and science
at Cleveland’s Metro Park
Zoo, and chair of the Species
Survival Plan for gorillas. Her
group coordinates nationwide
efforts to promote the health
and genetic diversity of gorillas. The Dewars “really did
a fantastic job in creating a
facility that met the highest
of industry standards,” she
says.
For Kidogo and Jasiri, it’s
just getting nicer. Workers are
putting in a pond for the hot
summer months. “It’s like the
people who go up to Hiawassee for that spa treatment,”
says Horton.
And the “boys,” as Dewar
calls them, seem to enjoy
each other’s company. “This
is a real success story,” says
Horton, “Two totally adult
males being about as bonded as I’ve ever seen males
bonded.”

a new boxing film about
the great brawler Roberto
Duran.
Usher said he has been
preparing to play Leonard
— a fighter with fast hands,
smooth feet and a wide smile
— for more than a year and
still needs to lose nearly
25 pounds before shooting
begins in October.
The movie is based on
Duran, a world champion in
four weight divisions over
a career that spanned five
decades. Duran, whose nickname was “Hands of Stone,”
rose from the slums of Panama to defeat an unbeaten
Leonard in 1980 and claim
the WBC welterweight title,
only to lose the rematch several months later in the infamous “no mas” fight.
Usher said he was honored
to play Leonard in the film.
“You couldn’t find a more
stylized boxer than Sugar Ray
Leonard,” Usher said by telephone. “He was an incredible motion guy, the way he
moved around the ring, and
I think my dancing will make
it easier for me to pick up
his moves. I’ve been working on familiarizing myself
with the ring, sparring and
just understanding how to
move in the ring.”
The role will mean dropping some weight. Usher
said he’s currently about 172
pounds but will need to get
down to about 150.
The cast also includes
Robert De Niro as Duran’s
Hall of Fame trainer, Ray
Arcel. Edgar Ramirez, who
was recently in “Zero Dark
Thirty,” will play Duran.
The biopic, written and
directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz, is a love story and
sports drama that includes
the “Brawl in Montreal,” the
first fight between Duran
and Leonard and the “no
mas” fight, which took place
in New Orleans. In the eighth
round of that fight, Duran
inexplicably quit, saying in
Spanish “no mas,” which
means “no more.” They
fought one more time, and
Leonard won again.
Usher said the rivalry
between Leonard and Duran
was one of the most exciting
and unforgettable in sports.
“It’s an incredible story to
be told,” he said. “The metaphor of determination and
struggle is one we can all
relate to.”
Usher said he has had long
conversations with Leonard
and will meet him in person
in coming weeks.
“He had such incredible
discipline, and he was flashy
and classy at the same time,”
said Usher, who’s been studying videos from Leonard’s
boxing days. “I want to be as
passionate and dedicated in
preparing for this role as he
was every time he stepped
into the ring.”
Usher is an eight-time
Grammy-winner with more
than 50 million records sold
worldwide. He serves as a
celebrity mentor on the reality TV show “The Voice.” He
made his Broadway debut in
2006 in “Chicago” as lawyer Billy Flynn and recently
appeared in the off-Broadway
play “Feurza Bruta.”
This will be his first leading role in a feature film.
“I’m up for the challenge,
and I’m looking forward to it,”
he said. “I think my overall
feeling is one of anticipation.
It seems like this is a real passion project. It’s a film that
everybody is so invested in,
and I have the good fortune
of having the character I’m
playing still around.”
Usher said he was thrilled
to collaborate with De Niro,
who will play Arcel, the first
trainer to be elected to Hall
of Fame. Arcel handled more
than 2,000 fighters during his
70-year career.
It will be De Niro’s third
boxing film. He played Jake
LaMotta in “Raging Bull” and
stars in “Grudge Match” opposite Sylvester Stallone. That
film, an action-comedy, is
about two aging boxers and is
due for release in early 2014.
“Hands of Stone” will be
shot entirely in Panama.

absurd claims. That’s why we
tune out politicians and most
commercial ads. Not only are
they going to send you something for $19.95 if you call and
use your credit card, they’ll
double your order.
Not only will politicians
educate your children,
they’ll fix the potholes in
the road that have jarred
your children’s heads for
so long it has substantially
lowered their IQ.
Politicians who run on a
pledge to never raise taxes are
the most dangerous jackasses
in the pasture. What they’re
really saying is, “If the
schools fall in and the potholes are breaking axles — or
any catastrophe befalls the
community — I’ll be snug and
secure in my little position
that I’ve sold my soul for.”
Just one time I’d like to
hear a politician say, “I’m
just as good a man as any to
vote for.” And what would
make it grand and glorious
Johnson
Star Riders’ new CD, “All
Hell Breaks Loose,” is set
for release on May 28.
Johnson, 47, grew up a
Thin Lizzy fan — “Scott Gorham was my hero” — and
says the band, which includes
Downey, Gorham and newer
members Darren Wharten,
Marco Mendoza and singer
Ricky Warwick, is very proud
of the new record. He believes
it was the correct choice to
release it under a new name.
“We wanted to consider
Thin Lizzy and it felt better
to us and it took the pressure
off of Ricky,” Johnson says.
When the band tours
as Black Star Riders, they
will play the bulk of the
new record, but they’ll also

“The idea of helping these
kids was really appealing to
me,” Meagher says. “They’re
little kids and, though they
might have had a little trouble
getting into it at first, the fact
that they get up every Saturday morning and spend four
hours with us is amazing.”
McCallie senior Sam
Devaney says he can identify with the youngsters and
their writing issues.
“It’s fun to see the elements that make a story for
them are the same elements
as I have writing a story,”
Devaney says. “In English
class, I would make an A on
content and a C on grammar.
A lot of these kids always
have good content but not
the correct grammar. I can
relate to that.”
McCallie senior Shawn
Paik is helping the students
learn the basics of photography.
“I took eight point-andshoot cameras to the class
and talked to the kids about
taking photos,” says the amateur photographer. “Dan told
me the whole point of the
writing class was to focus on
self-expression. Photography
is part of that, too.”
Orchard Knob fourth-grader Amari Culotta, 9, says the
McCallie students have taught
her how to express herself.
“They help with reading,
and you get to write about
lots of things like about how
you feel, what happens in
your life and your imagination,” she says. “They help
us speak louder and make us
not feel like we’re left out.
We can speak loud and tell
how we feel.”
She and Imani are excited
about the debut of the journal.
“A lot of people will see
our writing and know how
we express our feelings,”
Amari says.
“There will be strangers
reading it, and it makes me
include some Thin Lizzy
songs.
“We are so proud of
these songs and proud of
the band’s history.”
Johnson says he loves
doing solo shows like the
one at Raw because it lets
him play almost anything
and allows him to tell stories about his career.
“I did the first one four
years ago and it is so fulfilling to go out and play a solo
acoustic show,” he says. “I’m
so humbled to have this 20year career as a songwriter.
“I’ll do some new songs
and some old Alice Cooper
stuff.
“I played with Coop for
six years. I don’t think the
guy has done a bad show in
his life.”

McCallie senior Dan Meagher listens as Dekela Barnes
practices her poem in an empty gymnasium to lessen
her nervousness.
“
There will be
strangers reading it, and
it makes me proud of my
work.
”
— Imani Rowe, 10
proud of my work,” Imani
says.
Proceeds from fundraisers
helped pay for the program’s
materials and publication of
the journal.
“Over the past couple
months, we put a lot of effort
into fundraising,” Meagher
says, noting that the goal was
$2,600 and they raised $3,000.
“We surpassed our goal,
and that’s due to the generosity of local businesses in
Chattanooga.”
The journals will be professionally produced by Starkey Printing.
“From the start, I wanted
this to be a high-level production,” Meagher says. “I
want these kids to be proud
of what they’ve done.”
Meagher also praises
writing coach Kim Honeycutt of Calvin Donaldson, and
Jashari White of Orchard
Knob for their dedication to
the program.
White, the family partnership specialist at Orchard
Knob, says the relationship
with the community, the
schools and McCallie has
been amazing.
“The partnership has
afforded two worlds to come
together that would not happen ordinarily. Without the
assistance of the students at
McCallie, some of our students, such as Imani, would
not have the confidence
that they currently have to
express themselves through
speaking and writing.
“I couldn’t be more proud
of our students,” White says,
“and I expect great things out
of all of them.”
Meagher is pleased that
younger McCallie students
plan to keep the program
active.
“When you see the results,
you know it’s worth the
effort,” he says. “When you
look at their first stories and
their last, you can see the elements we helped teach. It’s
very rewarding. Some of the
students identify themselves
as writers, which is great.”
No one is more proud of
the students than Tocknell.
“I’m an emotional person
anyway. But there are times
that I’ll get choked up just
watching them,” she says.

would be if he was.
I remember a man taking a strong stand for family
values while he was in the
midst of an ongoing 14-year
affair with a much younger
woman. Another ran as “a
successful businessman”
when he had bankrupted
three businesses.
None of these people
could make the simple, honest statement, “Just as good
a man as any.” That statement claims adherence to
a basic level of honesty and
performance.
I’m not encouraging lowering the expectations of
politicians or products. I’m
encouraging fundamental
honesty in the presentation
of ourselves and our products.
I say: Let’s say who we
are and be who we are and,
in most cases, we will be
worthy of confidence.
I never remember my
father bragging in his life,
but he was just as good a
man as any to be trusted to
get anything done.

Business System Support
Specialist
We're looking for a bright,
creative problem-solver for
an entry-level mission critical
data-centric role with a very
visible Chattanooga-area
business.
The ideal candidate has fast
data-entry skills, a critical eye
to analyze large datasets for
proper format on-the-fly, a
high level of comfort working
in Microsoft Excel and is a
fast learner on new business
applications. You will be the
go-to person for one of our
major business unit's data
processing and setup procedures, and a keen attention
to detail and a perfectionist
personality will go a long way
to making you a success in
this position.
This is a salaried position,
with a competitive benefits
and vacation package available. Applicants should be
aware that there are times
where the processes the position controls will require
working later than normal,
and the position requires
someone with the ability to
be flexible to make sure our
tasks are completed.
Applicant should be organized, a good time manager
and able to carry out assigned tasks without intensive supervision. A pleasant
demeanor, a positive attitude
and a keen interest in helping our organization succeed
are absolutely critical.
Desired skills - Applicant must
have at least an intermediate
skill set working in Microsoft
Excel and a firm grasp of the
use of basic office machines
and computers. Communication will be critical in this role,
so the ability to effectively
use email to communicate is
a must. There will be recurring tasks that require data
entry, so experience on
10-key or other fast data entry methodology is highly desired. Prior experience running Crystal Reports is not
necessary, but can help set
an applicant apart. Experience managing dependent
processes is a major part of
this job, and the ability to
demonstrate an understanding of the same will be necessary for the applicant to
move forward through the
hiring process.
Qualified applicants should
send their resume with cover
