HISTORY MEETS MODERN
‘WE DIDN’T WANT THIS TO BE
YOUR GRANDFATHER’S MUSEUM.’

T
he scene is very clear to Daryl Black.
He sits at a desk that overlooks the
Tennessee Aquarium plaza, and day in
and day out watches tourists and schoolchildren milling around below him, hundreds of them. To him, they are potential customers when the new Chattanooga History Center
opens early next year.
“It’s right in the middle of the entertainment
district,” said Black, the museum’s executive director.
The vision for the new Chattanooga History Center is not one of relics and artifacts with
descriptions of particular eras of history. Instead,
the new model will be about topics, storytelling
and interactive media.
“We didn’t want this to be your grandfather’s
museum,” Black said. Visitors will see the difference through use of high and low technology,
he said. They will use interactive touch screens
and audio storytelling to spur conversation and
learning about regional history. There also will
be an option for visitors to interview and record
stories about their own loved ones who live in
Chattanooga.
Three main topics addressed in the center are
the Cherokee Nation, the Civil War and blacks
and segregation. But the stories highlighting those
issues won’t just be retreads of history looking at
specific events and people, Black said.
“We’re thinking through a new model on how
we can do a history museum,” he said.
The designers of the renovation see the center
as a unique part of Chattanooga.
Rick Sobel, project director for New York Citybased Ralph Applebaum Associates Inc., said the
new center will be a “museum for the people.”
The company designed the journalism-oriented
Newseum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, both in Washington, D.C.

NASHVILLE — A controversial bill that protects teachers who discuss with students
“weaknesses” in evolution and
other scientific theories is on its
way to Gov. Bill Haslam, who is
under pressure from prominent
scientists to veto it.
Scientists in Tennessee and
across the nation charge the measure is a “backd o o r ” attem p t
to allow discus- Tennessee
sions of religion- Legislature
based views such
as “creationism”
and “intelligent
designs” in sci- INSIDE
ence classrooms. Teachers
T h e H o u s e want
approved the bill evaluation
Monday night on data private,
a 72-23 vote that B3
included changes
made last week
by the Senate bill’s sponsor, Bo
Watson, R-Hixson. There was no
debate.
Watson has said he tried to
address scientists’ concerns with
new language that directs science
teachers to discuss evolution,
climate change and other areas
within the state’s science education “framework.”
The bill’s thrust, said Watson, who majored in biology at
the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga, is that “students
should be encouraged to challenge current scientific thought
and theory. Students should be
encouraged to debate, to improve
their critical thinking skills and
to improve their communications skills.”
The measure bars the Tennessee Board of Education and local
education officials from prohibiting public school teachers from
“helping students understand,
analyze, critique and review in
an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific
weaknesses of existing scientific
theories.”

Studies: Surgery

CHICAGO — New research gives clear proof

■ PARK STEWARDS A
new city program hopes to
inspire residents to take a
larger ownership of Chattanooga’s 65 parks, 35 miles
of trails and 4,800 acres
of land. Brian Smith, the
city’s Parks and Recreation
Department spokesman, said
a Park Stewards program
will be launched this week
with an emphasis on getting
more people into the parks
to be the eyes and ears for
the department.
■ SEX CHARGES A 46year-old Chattanooga businessman will begin serving a
six-month jail sentence after
pleading guilty to having sex
with a teenager. Gregory B.
Austin will serve his time
while he awaits charges
in a similar, but separate
Georgia case. On Monday,
Hamilton County Criminal
Court Judge Don Poole sentenced Austin to a two-year
sentence on two charges of
aggravated statutory rape.

■ TAX VOTE The Cleveland
City Council voted 4-3 Monday to appeal a 1967 agreement with Bradley County
on how local option sales tax
revenue is shared. “That’s the
most important vote we as a
City Council will ever make,”
said Councilman David May,
casting an approval vote. He
was joined by Avery Johnson,
Charlie McKenzie and Bill
Estes. “We’ve been fighting
with the county too long,”
said Councilman Richard
Banks. He and George Poe
and Dale Hughes voted
against filing an appeal with
the Tennessee Court of
Appeals.

State Community College
baseball coach Greg Dennis
is also the school’s popular social dance instructor.
Although he disdained high
school dances at Notre
Dame High School, he
picked up the skill in community college in Texas,
took additional classes at
Baylor University and has
been adept at it since.

■ BAYLOR POUNDS LADY
VOLS Brittney Griner had
23 points, 15 rebounds and
nine blocks before being
ejected with less than a
minute left and top-seeded
Baylor rolled over Tennessee 77-58 Monday night to
advance to the Final Four.
Shekinna Strickland had 22
points for Tennessee (27-9),
whose seniors became its
first four-year class not to
reach a Final Four. The Lady
Vols now face an uncertain
future, as Pat Summitt has
yet to say if she’ll return for
a 39th season as Tennessee
coach. She announced in
August she’d been diagnosed
with early onset dementia.

Tests show aging
of da Vinci work
Superman check
up for auction
WARSAW, Poland — Bark
beetles and old age have damaged Leonardo da Vinci’s 15thcentury painting “Lady with an
Ermine,” but the masterpiece
is still holding up well, according to a conservationist at the
Polish museum where it is displayed.
Recent tests show the chestnut board on which Leonardo
painted his masterpiece has
weakened after being nibbled
at by beetles over the centuries,
and the painting also has suffered from a dense network of
cracks, said Janusz Czop, the
chief conservationist at the
National Museum in Krakow.
One of only four existing
female portraits by Leonardo,
the oil painting shows a young
woman in three-quarter profile
wearing a sumptuous low-cut
red and blue dress as she holds
a white ermine, an animal also
known as a stoat. Historians
believe the subject was Cecilia
Gallerani, the mistress of the
Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza,
when she was 16 or 17. Leonardo
painted it around the year 1490.
“The painting is 500 years
old and has been subject to all
the processes of aging,” including journeying between Poland,
France and Germany through
the wars and uprisings of the
19th and 20th centuries, Czop
said Monday.
“Still, all things considered,
it is in very good condition,
thanks to the technology that
da Vinci used,” Czop said,
noting the master painted on
durable wood.
More state-of-the art and
noninvasive tests — such as
computer tomography — are to
be performed to help experts
decide what kind of maintenance the masterpiece requires,
Czop said. For the past 100
years the painting has belonged
to the Czartoryskis, an aristocratic Polish family.
PHILADELPHIA — Seven
decades after it was cut by DC
Comics, the check sent to Jerry
Siegel and Joe Shuster for their
creation of Superman is up for
auction.
Written for $412 and made
out to the duo, the check
includes a line item for $130
showing that DC paid for full
ownership and rights to the man
from Krypton and paved the
way for comic books, TV, radio
and films. But, a legal dispute
over creator’s rights to the character still is far from settled.
Stephen Fishler, co-owner
of ComicConnect.com, says
the check went up for auction
Monday for three weeks.
He said the check represents
the launching of the comic
book industry’s Golden Age of
superheroes.

Man pleads guilty
in email hacking
LOS ANGELES — An
unemployed Florida man faces
up to 60 years in prison after
pleading guilty on Monday to
hacking into the email accounts
of such celebrities as Christina Aguilera, Mila Kunis and
Scarlett Johansson, whose nude
photos eventually landed on the
Internet.
Christopher Chaney, 35, of
Jacksonville, Fla., entered his
plea in federal court to nine
counts, including unauthorized
access to a computer and wiretapping. He was immediately
taken into custody with his
head hung low and his hands in
his pocket.
Sentencing was scheduled
for July 23.
Chaney was arrested in
October as part of a yearlong
investigation of celebrity hacking that authorities dubbed
“Operation Hackerazzi.”
Prosecutors said Chaney
illegally accessed the email
accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry between November 2010
and October 2011.
Nude photos Johansson had
taken of herself later were posted on the Internet. Johansson
told Vanity Fair for its December issue that the photos were
meant for Ryan Reynolds, now
her ex-husband.
Chaney mined through publicly available data to figure out
password and security questions for celebrity accounts.
Once he had control of their
email account, he also went
through their contact lists to
find email accounts of fellow
stars.
Jennifer Lopez plans
concerts in Brazil
NEW YORK — Jennifer
Lopez is in Brazil this week for
her show “Q’Viva,” but she’s
never performed in the country.

she headlines a music festival
there this summer.
The “American Idol” judge
announced in a statement Monday that she would be performing at the Pop Music Festival in
Sao Paulo on June 23 and in Rio
de Janeiro on June 27.
Lopez was in Brazil to
promote “Q’Viva,” the Latinfocused talent show that she
hosts with her ex, Marc Anthony. It airs on Univision and also
Fox, which also airs “American
Idol.”

Singer Bobby Brown
faces DUI charge
LOS ANGELES — Singer
Bobby Brown was arrested in the
San Fernando Valley on suspicion of driving under the influence, law enforcement officials
said.
The arrest occurred at 12:20
p.m. Monday, according to California Highway Patrol officer
Mike Harris. Officers pulled
him over for talking on his cellphone but then administered a
field sobriety test, Harris said.
The arrest comes four days
after the Los Angeles County
Coroner’s office released the
results of its autopsy of Brown’s
ex-wife, Whitney Houston.
Houston appears to have
used cocaine “in the time
period just immediately prior
to her collapse in the bathtub
at the hotel,” said LA County
Chief Coroner Craig Harvey.

push prices of gold and silver to their
highest levels in 25 years. We have
studied the investment and retail

SEOUL, South Korea
— President Barack Obama
on Monday made a direct
appeal to the leaders of
North Korea and Iran, urging them to “have the courage” to step away from their
nuclear weapons programs,
rather than allow their countries to follow a path toward
greater isolation and economic distress.
“You can continue down
the road you are on, but
we know where that leads,”
Obama said in a speech that
balanced notes of diplomatic
persuasion with hard-edged
pressure.
Addressing new leaders in
Pyongyang, Obama warned
that their current path would
lead to “more broken dreams,
more isolation and ever more
distance between the people
of North Korea and the dignity and opportunity they
deserve.”
To Tehran, he said that
“time is short” for diplomacy
to defuse a standoff over its
nuclear program.
Obama made the remarks
on the second day of a visit
to Seoul, where he is attending a nuclear terrorism summit.

WASHINGTON
— With a potential shutdown of federal highway
and transit programs looming, House Republican
leaders abruptly canceled
a vote Monday on a threemonth extension bill aimed
at keeping aid flowing
to states while Congress
debates an overhaul of
transportation policy.
Republicans had planned
to bring the extension bill
to the floor under rules that
require a two-thirds vote
for passage. In order to do
that, they needed the votes
of about 50 Democrats. But
Democratic leaders urged
their members to oppose
the extension in an attempt
to pressure GOP leaders
to permit a vote on a $109
billion bill recently passed
by the Senate. The Senate
bill would overhaul transportation programs while
extending them through the
end of the 2013 federal budget year.

• Continued from Page A1
It also removed the
bill’s original language that
referred to the theories as
“controversies.”
Three prominent Tennessee scientists who are members of the National Academy
of Sciences charged Monday
in a letter published in the
Tennessean newspaper that
state lawmakers are “doing
the unbelievable: attempting
to roll the clock back to 1925
by attempting to insert religious beliefs in the teaching
of science.”
That is a reference to
a 1925 Tennessee law that
banned the teaching of evolution and led to the infamous
“Monkey Trial” in Dayton,
Tenn., in which teacher John
Scopes was tried and convicted for violating the law.
The state was widely ridiculed over the matter.
The scientists charged the
bill is “misleading, unnecessary, likely to provoke unnecessary and divisive legal proceedings, and likely to have
adverse economic consequences for the state.”
“Although there are minor
differences between the bills,
it seems that the only barrier now to their passage
and enactment is the veto
of Gov. Bill Haslam,” the letter continues. “Will he heed
the informed opinion of the
scientific community and of
Tennessee’s science teachers? Or are we in for a repeat
of the Scopes trial?”
The letter was signed by
Dr. Roger D. Cone, chairman
of Vanderbilt’s department
of molecular physiology
and biophysics; Dr. Robert
G. Webster, at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in
“Every week we’re having

Black said the Chattanooga History Center wants to
lay a foundation to help map
Chattanooga’s future with

“We’ve tried to do three or
four years of work in a year
and a half,” he said. “We’ve
got to make sure we do this
right.”

Weight-loss surgery “has
proven to be a very appropriate and excellent treatment
for diabetes,” said one study
co-leader, Dr. Francesco
Rubino, chief of diabetes surgery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell
Medical Center. “The most
proper name for the surgery
would be diabetes surgery.”
The studies were published online by the New
England Journal of Medicine,
and the larger one was presented Monday at an American College of Cardiology
conference in Chicago.
More than a third of
American adults are obese,
and more than 8 percent
have diabetes, a major cause
of heart disease, strokes and
kidney failure. Between 5
million and 10 million are
like the people in these studies, with both problems.
For a century, doctors
have been treating diabetes
with pills and insulin, and
encouraging weight loss and
exercise with limited success.
Few very obese people can
drop enough pounds without surgery, and many of the
medicines used to treat diabetes can cause weight gain,
making things worse.
Surgery offers hope for a
long-term fix. It costs $15,000
to $25,000, and Medicare covers it for very obese people
with diabetes. Gastric bypass
is the most common type:
Through “keyhole” surgery,
doctors reduce the stomach
to a small pouch and recon-
nect it to the small intestine.
One previous study tested
stomach banding, a less drastic
and reversible procedure for
limiting the size of the stomach.
This technique lowered blood
sugar, but those patients had
mild diabetes. The new studies
tested permanent weight-loss
surgery in people with longtime, severe diabetes.
At the Cleveland Clinic,
Dr. Philip Schauer studied
150 people given one of two
types of surgery plus standard medicines or a third
group given medicines alone.
Their A1c levels — the key
blood-sugar measure — were
over 9 on average at the start.
A healthy A1c is 6 or below.
One year after treatment
began, only 12 percent of
those treated with medicines
alone were at that healthy
level, versus 42 percent and
37 percent of the two groups
given surgery.
Use of medicines for high
cholesterol and other heart
risks dropped among those
in the surgery groups but
rose in the group on medicines alone.
Jon Diat is a success story.
Diat, 50, who works at Citigroup and lives in New York,
had been piling on pounds
and pills for cholesterol and
high blood pressure. After
he needed an artery-opening
procedure he was diagnosed
with diabetes, but medicines
for that failed to keep his disease under control and worsened his obesity.
“I was maxed out on the
medications. It was very
grim,” he said. Two years
ago, he had weight-loss surgery from Rubino.
“They told me, ‘You’re
going to see rapid results,’
but it was amazing. I literally lost 70 pounds in the
first three months,” he said.
“I was off insulin within less
than 72 hours of surgery. I am
in complete, total remission
of diabetes. My blood sugars
are normal.”
Now he eats right, plays
tennis and hockey, walks the
two miles home from work
and takes 12 flights of stairs
to his apartment.
“I look at this as a second
chance at life,” he said. “It’s
been liberating.”
Tamikka McCray, 39, who
also lives in New York and
works for the city’s Human
Resources Administration,
also had success from her
surgery a year and a half ago.
When she left the hospital,
her diabetes had disappeared
before any major weight loss
had a chance to occur.

Family Action Council of
Tennessee President David
Fowler, the former Republican senator from Signal
Mountain who brought
Watson the original bill last
year, said he approves of his
changes.
“Actually, I think the bill
passed by the Senate makes
it even more clear that the
misrepresentations about
the bill are indeed misrepresentations,” Fowler said.
“That creationism, intelligent design cannot be taught
because the material in the
bill only includes material
allowed by the Department
of Education. The other side
wants to ignore the facts.”
Speaking to reporters last
week, Haslam said he talked
with Watson, whose point,
the governor said, “was
should people have the right
to talk about why they believe
that’s true versus other ideas.
And he thinks that freedom
of discussion about ideas is a
good thing.”
Asked whether he agreed
with that, Haslam said, “I
think Thomas Jefferson
had a statement one time ...
something to the effect that
here we’re not afraid to follow the truth wherever it
may lead. And I think that’s
a pretty good principle for us
throughout government and
throughout education.”
He also said the only questions he has gotten about the
bill is from reporters.
According to the Library
of Congress, Jefferson’s full
quote, taken from a letter discussing the University of Virginia, which he founded, says
“this institution will be based
on the illimitable freedom of
the human mind.”
“For here we are not afraid
to follow truth wherever it
may lead, nor to tolerate any
error so long as reason is left
free to combat it.”

WASHINGTON — After
a series of violent episodes
and setbacks, support for
the war in Afghanistan has
dropped sharply among both
Republicans and Democrats,
according to the latest New
York Times/CBS News poll.
The survey found that
more than two-thirds of those
polled — 69 percent —thought
that the United States should
not be at war in Afghanistan.
Just four months ago, 53 percent said that Americans
should no longer be fighting
in the conflict, more than a
decade old.
The increased disillusionment was even more pronounced when respondents
were asked their impressions
of how the war was going.
The poll found that 68 percent thought the fighting was
going “somewhat badly” or
“very badly,” compared with
42 percent who had those
impressions in November.
The latest poll was conducted by telephone from
March 21-25 with 986 adults
nationwide. It has a margin
of sampling error of plus or
minus 3 percentage points.
The Times/CBS News poll
was consistent with other surveys this month that showed a
drop in support for the war. In
a Washington Post/ABC News
poll, 60 percent of respondents said the war in Afghanistan had not been worth the
fighting, while 57 percent in
a Pew Research Center poll
said the United States should
bring home U.S. troops as
soon as possible. In a Gallup/
USA Today poll, 50 percent
of respondents said the U.S.
should speed up the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Negative impressions of
the war have grown among
Republicans as well as Democrats, according to the Times/
CBS News poll. Among
Republicans, 60 percent said
the war was going somewhat
or very badly, compared with
40 percent in November.
Among Democrats, 68 percent said the war was going
somewhat or very badly,
compared with 38 percent
in November. But the poll
found that Republicans were
more likely to want to stay in
Afghanistan for as long as it
would take to stabilize the situation: 3 in 10 said the United
States should stay, compared
with 2 in 10 independents and
1 in 10 Democrats.
Republicans themselves
are divided, however, over
when to leave, with a plurality, 40 percent, saying the
U.S. should withdraw earlier
than the end of 2014, when
under an agreement with the
Afghan government all U.S.
troops are to be out of the
country.

medicines alone did.
The results were dramatic: Some people were able to
stop taking insulin as soon as
three days after their operations. Cholesterol and other
heart risk factors also greatly
improved.
Doctors don’t like to say
“cure” because they can’t
promise a disease will never
come back. But in one study,
most surgery patients were
able to stop all diabetes drugs
and have their disease stay
in remission for at least two
years. None of those treated
with medicines alone could
do that.
“It is a major advance,”
said Dr. John Buse of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, a leading diabetes
expert who had no role in the
studies. Buse said he often recommends surgery to patients
who are obese and can’t control their blood-sugar through
medications, but many are
leery of it. “This evidence will
help convince them that this
really is an important therapy
to at least consider,” he said.
There were signs that
the surgery itself — not just
weight loss — helps reverse
diabetes. Food makes the gut
produce hormones to spur
insulin, so trimming away
part of it surgically may
affect those hormones, doctors believe.

space that is under construction.

“They are different animals now,” Sobel said.
“They’re not a place for dirty,

Fight claims, pot put Florida teen’s side on defense
By Mike Schneider
and Curt Anderson
SANFORD, Fla. — The
family and supporters of
slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin found themselves
on the defensive Monday
following revelations he had
been suspended for marijuana before he was shot
to death by a neighborhood
watch volunteer. Police also
confirmed a report that the
watchman claimed Martin
was the aggressor, punching
him in the nose and smacking his head on a sidewalk.
Martin, 17, was suspended by Miami-Dade County
schools because traces of
marijuana were found in a
plastic baggie in his book
bag, family spokesman Ryan
Julison said. Martin was serving the suspension when he
was shot Feb. 26 by George
Zimmerman, who was patrolling the neighborhood that
Martin was visiting with his
father.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, center, listens as the Rev. Jesse
Jackson, not seen, leads a prayer during a community
forum Monday at Macedonia Baptist Church in Eatonville, Fla.
Martin’s mother, Sybrina
Fulton, and family attorneys
blamed police for leaking
the information about the
marijuana and Zimmerman’s
claim about the attack to the
news media to demonize the
teenager.
“They killed my son, and
now they’re trying to kill
his reputation,” Fulton told
reporters.
T h e S a n fo rd Po l i c e
Department insisted there
was no authorized release
of the new information but
acknowledged there may
have been a leak. City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr.
said it would be investigated,
and the person responsible
could be fired.
Martin family attorney
Benjamin Crump said the
link between the youth and
marijuana should have no
bearing on the probe into
his shooting death. State and
federal agencies are investigating, with a grand jury set
to convene April 10.
“If he and his friends
experimented with marijuana, that is completely irrelevant,” Crump said. “What
does it have to do with killing
their son?”
The state Department of
Juvenile Justice confirmed
Monday that Martin does
not have a juvenile offender record. The information
came after a public records

Press.
Zimmerman, 28, claimed
he shot Martin in self-defense
and has not been arrested.
Because Martin was black
and Zimmerman has a white
father and Hispanic mother,
the case has become a racial
flashpoint that has civil rights
leaders and others leading a
series of protests in Sanford
and around the country.
Civil rights leader Al
Sharpton warned commissioners that Sanford risked
becoming a 21st century version of civil rights struggle in
the South during the 1960s.
Sharpton said Martin’s parents endured “insults and lies”
Monday over reports that their
son attacked Zimmerman.
Outside the commission
meeting, several thousand
people carried signs, rallied
and marched in Martin’s support. Organizers said some 2
million signatures had been
collected on an online petition demanding Zimmerman’s arrest.
“It seems like the police
did not do the normal things
they should have done. But
that’s going to have to take
its own process now,” said
the Rev. Marilyn Beecher,
a Methodist minister who
came from Daytona Beach to
attend the rally. “It’s important that we all stand for justice and that the community
leaders know that this is not
going to be overlooked.”

Amanda Archibald, left, and Jennifer Hayes participate in a moment of silence during
a rally to find justice for Trayvon Martin.
March
tanooga demonstrators even
marched in the 82-degree
heat wearing hoodies like
the one Martin wore when
he was killed, a symbolic gesture adopted by protesters
across the nation.
Participant Fanesa Brewer
said bringing her sons to the
rally to learn about the Florida shooting is important.
Her son, she said, attends
Ooltewah High School and
wears a red hoodie as part of
his uniform.
Others also expressed
concern for the area’s black
youths.
“Parents need to know ...
how to protect their families, and kids need to know
how to protect themselves,”
said Courtlund Henderson,
who addressed the crowd at
Miller Park after the march.
“[The Martin shooting]
teaches us to protect ourselves, and the justice system isn’t going to do anything to protect us.
“I am Trayvon Martin!”
Henderson said, “And you
are, and you, and you!”
He pointed out members
of the crowd, urging them
to take the issue personally
because, as one sign read,
“Could be Yours Tomorrow.”
At least one Chattanooga
elected official was watching. City Councilman Russell Gilbert was among the
attendees at the post-march
rally.
Event organizer Mark
Gilliland said the Florida
shooting is only one face of
systematic problems of racial
profiling and racial injustice, which he says leads to
“devaluation of the lives of
black people.”
But many attendees said
their primary concern is
injustice, not racism.
“Every race should be
offended,” Brewer said.
“Murder is murder, and
wrong is wrong — black,
white, red, yellow or blue,”
added participant Riley
Shaw.
While the march, the
speakers, the rappers and
the vigil stirred the crowd,
where the event’s energy will
lead is unclear.
Henderson addressed
participants before they had
taken a single step, noting
that the black community
is sometimes criticized for
holding lots of marches and
then never talking about their
problems. However, she said
that they do discuss important issues in their neighborhoods and hoped that the
rally would be a stepping-off
point for further talk of justice in Chattanooga.
At this time, questions
remain about specific issues
the community wants to
focus on, how they will organize and if they can retain
the same energy of the march
moving forward.
Participant Lucilla Nash
said, “This is a start. We need
to have a conversation.”
“Otherwise things will
just stay the same,” her
friend Cassandra Tucker
concluded.
Similar rallies were held
in other cities: Thousands
gathered on the steps of
the Georgia state Capitol in
Atlanta in memory of the
unarmed, 17-year-old Martin;
hundreds met at the location
where Martin Luther King Jr.
was slain in Memphis to call
for the arrest of Zimmerman;
and Memphis-area activists
and Mayor A C Wharton,
who is black, spoke at a rally
at the National Civil Rights
Museum.

Election Commission debates primary night meeting
By Ansley Haman
Staff Writer
The Hamilton County
Election Commission on
Monday certified the March
6 presidential primary results
and discussed a meeting they
held the night of it.
In a meeting, commissioners first certified the election, which went smoothly,
according to an outside precinct audit.
Also on election night,
commissioners voted 3-2 to
Panel to file brief in Chattanooga mayor recall appeal
file a brief in connection with
an appeal of a judge’s ruling
against the commission.
Chattanooga Mayor Ron
Littlefield filed a lawsuit
against the commission after
it certified a recall petition
against him in November and
set a date for a recall election. In his February ruling,
Circuit Court Judge Jeff Hol-
lingsworth halted the recall
election.
Citizens to Recall Mayor
Littlefield, one of the groups
that began the recall effort,
is appealing Hollingsworth’s
decision.
The election commission’s attorney, Chris Clem,
said the brief being filed by
the panel will ask the court
to decide what law applies
and explain the commission’s
actions. The brief will likely
be due in April, he said.
Election Commissioner
Jerry Summers questioned
why members of the recall
effort knew the matter was
going to be discussed at the
commission’s March 6 meeting when the Chattanooga
Times Free Press had been
repeatedly told that no special items had been added to
the election night agenda.
“When it’s something
important, particularly, I
think the public has the right
to know,” Summers said.
Clem and Election Commission Chairman Mike
Walden said the matter came
up unexpectedly because
Citizens to Recall Mayor
Littlefield had filed its appeal
of Hollingsworth’s decision
that day. Walden defended
his record for transparency
and public notice, saying
his first act as chairman had
been to set regular election
commission meetings.

Man faces Georgia sex charges after Tennessee sentencing
By Todd South
Staff Writer
A 46-year-old Chattanooga businessman will begin
serving a six-month jail sentence after pleading guilty to
having sex with a teenager.
Gregory B. Austin will
serve his time while he
awaits charges in a similar,
but separate Georgia case.
On Monday, Hamilton
County Criminal Court Judge
Don Poole sentenced Austin
to a two-year sentence on
two charges of aggravated
statutory rape. Austin will
begin serving six months in
jail today, with his remaining
sentence served on probation.
Austin pleaded guilty earlier this year to the two rape
counts that stemmed from an
April 2010 incident in which
police said he had sex with
a 14-year-old girl at an East
Ridge hotel.
Austin’s attorneys, Lee
Davis and Bryan Hoss,
declined to
comment
following
Monday’s
sentencing
hearing.
W h i l e
Austin was
awaiting a
Greg Austin trial on the
Hamilton County charges,
police in Catoosa County,
Ga., arrested him on charges
he solicited a girl under 18 to
perform sex with him, then
met her at a Fort Oglethorpe
motel.
The same police report
stated he had sex with a
17-year-old girl at the hotel
while a 13-year-old girl
watched. He faces a charge
of pandering in that case.
Following the Georgia
indictment, Hoss told the
Chattanooga Times Free Press
that the Catoosa grand jury
refused to indict Austin on the
most serious allegations.
Catoosa County Magistrate
Judge Vic Wells revoked Austin’s bond on the pandering
charge shortly after he was
released, citing the Hamilton
County case. Austin served
46 days in the Georgia jail.
Davis asked Poole if he
would credit the Georgia
time toward the six months
Austin faced in Tennessee.
Poole said he would consider
it but did not rule Monday.

Chattanooga calls for volunteers to assist in parks
CLEVELAND, Tenn.
— The Cleveland City
Council voted 4-3 Monday
to appeal a 1967 agreement
with Bradley County on
how local option sales tax
revenue is shared.

make,” said
Councilman David
May, casting

by Avery David May

Councilman Richard

Poe and Dale Hughes voted
against filing the appeal
with the Tennessee Court
of Appeals, said city officials have “been fighting
with the county too long.”
The dispute does not
involve the half-cent sales

city voters in 2009 for capital projects such as roads
and school construction.

They also will be given cards to give
to park visitors.
One thing they will not be is a
policing agency, Smith said.
Angelia Stinnett, volunteer coordinator for the program, said that
was important to her. She wants the
stewards to be a positive presence in
the parks, she said, and the hope is
that, with the stewards in the parks,
it also will help with safety.
“What will help in the parks is
more people and lighting,” she said.
The Parks and Recreation Department already is working on the lighting, she said, so now it’s time to get
the people.

IF YOU GO
By Cliff Hightower
Staff Writer
A new city program hopes to
inspire residents to take a larger
ownership of Chattanooga’s 65 parks,
35 miles of trails and 4,800 acres of
land.
Brian Smith, the city’s Parks and
Recreation Department spokesman,
said a Park Stewards program will be
launched this week with an emphasis on getting more people into the
parks to be the eyes and ears for the
department.
With the city owning 4,800 acres
of park land, it’s tough to cover for a
department that has 70 park employees and 10 rangers, he said.
“We’re glad to have all that land,
but we can’t be there all the time,”
he said.
The Park Stewards program will
kick off at 6 p.m. Thursday with a
meeting at Finley Stadium, he said.
The Parks and Recreation Department is looking for volunteers to
participate.
The goal is to have people in all
parks throughout the city, helping to
keep them clean, aiding visitors who
have questions and informing the
department of any problems such as

“This kind of lays to rest

NASHVILLE — Tennessee Education Association lobbyist Jerry Winters
said Monday that he favors
a proposal to close public
access to teacher evaluation
data because of the lack of
confidence many educators
have in the new evaluation
system.
The measure is headed for
a full Senate
Tennessee vote, and the
Legislature c o m p a n i o n
bill is awaiting a vote in
the House
State and Local Government
Committee today.
Sponsors say access to
the data should be limited to
school officials and not available to the general public.
Winters spoke to reporters Monday after hearing a
presentation from a Tennessee Department of Education
official on the implementation of the evaluation system.
A mild virus is to blame
for a rash of absences early
this month at Clifton Hills
Elementary School.
About one-fifth of the
school’s students were absent
or sent home on March 9 and
11, along with several teachers. After investigating the
outbreak, Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department officials say nothing
serious occurred.
“Kids were not ill for very
long and not severely ill,”
said Margaret Zylstra, epidemiology manager at the
health department.
The health department
used a telephone triage system
to contact students and gather
information on their illnesses. While some were out for
other reasons, many showed
similar symptoms, including
sore throat, headache, fever,
diarrhea and vomiting.
Zylstra said such viral illnesses are typical for this
time of year, though such an
outbreak is usually distributed across schools.
“That would not be an
unusual amount of absences
during a time when the flu is
circulating,” she said. “It was
a little bit unusual in that we
did not see that occurring to
that extent in other schools.”
Sheryl Rogers, director of
health services for Hamilton
County Schools, said an outbreak like the one at Clifton
Hills is the reason school
officials want sick children
to stay home. Sending the ill
to school only exacerbates
the problem, she said.
“The problem is that a lot
of kids were sick and parents
still sent them to school,”
Rogers said.
Zylstra said schools serve
as a bellwether of the overall
health of the community.
“We do use the schools as
a good kind of indication of
what’s going on in the community,” she said.

benefits hailed
A study by the U.S. Forestry Service finds that trees
in Tennessee’s urban areas
provide the state with environmental benefits valued at
nearly $640 million a year.
According to the study’s
findings reported by
WPLN-FM, shade trees
save the state about $66
million a year. That’s mostly
savings in heating and cooling expenses as the trees
protect rooftops from the
summer sun and block cold
winds in winter.
The state’s urban trees
also store and remove from
the air more than $570 million worth of pollutants each
year, the study concluded.
The study is meant to set
a baseline for measuring the
future health of the state’s
urban forest.
Tim Phelps of the state

Students’ mock crash program puts focus on driving safety

EVENSVILLE, Tenn. — Rhea
County High School student Alec

who have “gotten lucky too many
times” after driving irresponsibly.
A crowd of 650 juniors and seniors
assembled outside the school Monday morning and watched Smith

prom date, who survived, while
Etherton’s character died.
Members of the Rhea County
Sheriff’s Office, the county health

other sponsors joined the assembly
to promote awareness of the dangers
of driving while texting or drinking.

Wordes, 53, earned notoriety for his long fight with
the city over the right to have
livestock on his property.
Along the way, he alienated
neighbors but earned the support of the city’s mayor and
others who read about him
online. He even convinced
former Gov. Roy Barnes to
represent him in court.
The chickens were long
gone by Monday, but he was
still fighting eviction. A bank
foreclosed on his house after
he apparently stopped paying his mortgage while in jail.
Court records show he filed for
bankruptcy on July 4, 2011, and
neighbors say he was asking the
courts to block the eviction.
Neighbors who gathered near his home Monday laughed as they recalled
some of his antics, like naming a stubborn chicken who
survived a gunshot wound
“Lucky” and the time he
spelled “FEMA PLEASE
HELP” on his roof after a
flood damaged his basement.
But some said they thought
he’d become overzealous in
his fight against authority.
“He was a nice guy, but
he was fighting a fight that
really didn’t exist,” said John
Cherok, a neighbor. “Sometimes you can go too far, and
Andy did.”
Wordes lived in the twostory home on a quiet street
for about 13 years and started raising poultry in 2005.
At first he had only a few
chickens, and most neighbors didn’t seem to mind. But
the complaints started pouring in after he got dozens
more chickens, roosters that
crowed day and night and
then pigs, goats and dogs.
“And that’s when we
noticed the coyote population exploded,” said Cherok.
“It was like a buffet over
there. It just spiraled out of
control.”
The city cited him for
raising livestock in 2009, and
Wordes made a splash on the
Internet.

The grand jury will decide

“We’re not going to appeal

Salter said the officer met
with Etheridge on Monday
afternoon and will be allowed
to go back to work on April
11. The city manager didn’t
cite any policies that the officer had broken, Salter said.
Reyes is the second disgruntled employee in the
last three weeks to accuse
Freeman of retaliation and
creating a hostile work environment.
Former firefighter Johnny
Stephens Jr., who was fired
for insubordination, accused
Freeman of getting him fired
after he asked why he was
being ordered to install a
radio in a Public Works
vehicle, a duty that was not
part of his job responsibilities.

Branch Cove Drive. Murray’s
sister had called the sheriff’s
office after not seeing or
hearing from her brother in
several days.
An autopsy later showed
10 stab wounds all over
Murray’s body, including
one wound between his eyes
and one at the front of his
throat.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s
Office Detective Jeff Baker
testif ied Monday about
the wounds on Murray’s
body, including the slashed
throat.
Stoltz had been living with
Murray at the Harrison home
for several months at the
time of the victim’s death.
Shortly after finding Murray’s body, police issued a
nationwide alert with Stoltz’
description.
A sheriff ’s deputy in
Lowndes County, Ga., pulled
Stoltz over on Dec. 5, 2011,
near Valdosta, Ga. Stoltz was
driving Murray’s maroon
Ford F-150 pickup, and the
deputy also found oxycodone, marijuana and methamphetamine along with
stolen guns inside the truck,
according to reports.
The deputy arrested Stoltz
on drug and theft-related
charges and Stoltz was later
extradited to Hamilton
County to face a hearing on
the homicide charge.
Stoltz enlisted in the Tennessee Army National Guard
in March 2010 after graduating from Red Bank High
School, records show, and he
was discharged May 23, 2011.
A Guard spokesman said
he could not release details
of the discharge without a
Freedom of Information Act
request. The Times Free
Press filed that request in
December but has not yet
received the information.

On March 20, Stephens
— a 14-year employee — told
LaFayette City Council members during a public hearing
that he had disagreed with
Freeman in the past about
another city policy, but that
the director had screamed
and cursed at him.
Freeman denied the allegations, saying Stephens was
just trying to retaliate for
being fired.
But several residents in an
angry crowd at the March 20
meeting questioned council
members on why Freeman
hasn’t been investigated for
similar allegations in the
past.
Mayor Neal Florence said
last week the city took note
of the complaints and officials are “looking into the situation” involving Freeman’s
actions.

How much can I get in
disaster assistance?
34222361
Don’t be scared if your
disaster relief application
says “Small Business Administration.”
Homeowners, renters,
businesses and nonprofit
organizations should fill out
the forms if they receive
them in the mail because, if
they don’t, they could lose
access to all disaster assistance, said Tamara Jackson,
a public affairs specialist
for the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
During disasters, the
agency makes loans direct
from the U.S. Treasury at
low interest rates to help
augment other disaster aid.
Rates for home repairs are
1.875 percent, business loans
are 4 percent and nonprofit
organizations can receive
loans at 3 percent, according
they may be referred back
to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for
assistance, she said, which
wouldn’t otherwise happen.
Not everyone will receive
an SBA application, but that
doesn’t mean a person won’t
receive assistance, Jackson
said. Howeer, waiting too
long to file for assistance
could cause huge headaches.
Disaster assistance centers could be closing well
before the application filing
deadline for physical damage
on May 15, and long before
the deadline for economic
injury filings on Dec. 17.
“Don’t wait; we don’t
know how long those centers are going to be there,”
Jackson said.

Taxes
to education. Bradley County
gets two-thirds of that revenue,
based on student population,
and the city gets one third.
It is the second half of that
revenue that is in dispute.
Everywhere else in Tennessee, that half is based on the
location of the purchase.
Locally, Cleveland would get
about 80 percent of that revenue. Instead, 45 years ago city
officials agreed to just reverse
the agreement that covers the
first half of the revenue. Thus,
Bradley gets a third and the
city gets two-thirds.
There is no termination
clause in the agreement.
City Finance Director Mike
Keith told the council that if
the 1967 agreement went away
it would be worth at least $2.2
..
million annually to the city.
In December 2011, Chancellor Jerri Bryant ruled in
the county’s favor.
“This is your last chance
to have 1967 overturned,”
City Manager Janice Casteel
told the council, “or we are
stuck with it forever.”
Opposing council members said appealing would
be taking a chance with the
$1 million being held by the
county trustee from the 2009
referendum that Bryant has
ruled belongs to the city.
It’s all taxpayers’ money,
Banks and Poe said.
“It means you are suing
yourself,” Poe said.
And, Banks said, the case
only has a 10 percent or less
chance of being accepted
by the state Supreme Court
from the court of appeals.
But those in favor of an
appeal argued that overturning the old agreement could
be the only way the city can
avoid a property tax increase.
The county formed its
own fire department, creating a $1.8 million annual hole
in the city budget, Casteel
said.
And Councilman Johnson
said city residents already
pay 55 percent of the county’s
property taxes.
The city has paid $77,316
to a Nashville attorney who
is a tax expert to examine the
matter. Council members said
that, because the groundwork
already has been done, there
won’t be much more cost in
legal fees to continue.
After the vote, Mayor Tom
Rowland said there would be
no veto from him.
“That would take the
place of a whole lot of property tax,” he said.

Tax breaks and racism
T
he Tennessee Legislature’s
Republican bent to favor the
wealthy and appease racists has
rarely been so obvious. Consider the
Legislature’s actions last week on two
specific bills — one to dismantle the
inheritance tax on estates of more than
$1 million, the other to block the merger and integration of Memphis City and
Shelby County school districts.
Helping Tennessee’s most affluent
residents by phasing out the state’s
inheritance tax was originally proposed
by Gov. Bill Haslam, but Republic lawmakers seem equally eager to please
the well-heeled crowd — no doubt, in
part, because that’s where the bulk of
their campaign donations originate.
Eager-beaver lawmakers
Haslam has proposed to terminate
the high-end inheritance tax over five
years beginning in 2013, with each
incremental step being paralleled by
minuscule deductions in the state’s
sales tax on food. Eager-beaver lawmakers in the House last week accelerated the phase-out schedule to four
years, which at that point would mean
the complete loss of a state funding
source that now amounts to $90 million a year.
This is malevolently misguided.
The state’s inheritance tax begins on
estates of $1 million, but the bulk of its
inheritance tax revenue comes from
far larger estates valued in the multimillions of dollars. The cut would
certainly boost the fortunes of Gov.
Haslam’s family, whose ownership of
the Pilot Oil empire is worth billions
of dollars.
Regressive taxation
In a state that relies more heavily
than any other state on sales taxes
— the most regressive form of taxation — this gratuitous tax break for the
wealthy and the super-rich would simply add insult to injury. The less that
average Tennesseans earn, the higher
the proportion of their income that
goes to state sales taxes. The regressive nature of the state’s tax system in
a state classified as a low-wage state is
already stunning. In a state that levies
no general income tax, taking away the
inheritance tax on high-income families makes Tennessee’s tax structure
even more regressive.
The inheritance tax should not be
eliminated. Revenue from it should
be channeled, for example, to keep
the Taft juvenile center open, and to
restore cuts in services for the intellectually challenged, and in TennCare.
A significant portion of Tennessee’s
lawmakers care as little for racial equity as for tax fairness. When the predominantly black Memphis city school
district began moving two years ago to
voluntarily dissolve its school district
into the richer Shelby County school
district by 2013, Shelby County’s legislators got the Legislature to consider a
bill to dissolve the state’s long-standing
ban on new municipal school districts.
Never mind that the ban was established years ago to promote racial equity by curtailing fragmentation of integrated countywide school systems.
Bill is stalled
The bill would have let Shelby
County racists in the small towns of
Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown and Lakeland put a referendum on the May 10 ballot to create
their own municipal school systems
before the Memphis/Shelby school
merger. Fortunately, the bill was stalled
last week by two events. First, the state
attorney general ruled the bill would be
illegal before the Shelby County-Memphis school merger occurs. Second was
former House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh’s
impassioned plea to stop a bill clearly
designed to maintain racial segregation
in Memphis-area schools.
Both bills are now awaiting other
committee hearings. Transparency and
soul-searching in the cause of tax equity and racial fairness should prompt
their demise.
Rushed tax legislation in Georgia
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has to be
overjoyed with the tax bill approved in
the General Assembly last week that
now awaits his expected signature
into law. The mixed bag of cuts and
increases matches what he promised
during his campaign and reiterated in
his State of the State speech. Not everyone should share his joy, though. In
their zeal to cut taxes, legislators created a bill that falls far short of useful
reform and one that decidedly favors
some constituencies over others.
The tax break bill rushed through
the GOP-controlled General Assembly
gives the appearance that taxpayers
will save money. It also allows legislators seeking re-election to truthfully
say that they voted to cut taxes. That’s
a popular mantra these days, but one
that often camouflages some uncomfortable truths.
Creates a deficit
The truth is that the tax package
will create a $49 million revenue deficit next year, according to those who
have read the bill. That’s just the initial cost. A nonpartisan estimate from
Georgia State University suggests that
the cost of the legislation over the
next three fiscal years will be at least
$200 million and perhaps far more
— much of it to local governments
that currently get funds from various
levies that will be reduced or eliminated. The loss in revenue, of course,
means that state and county officials
will have to replace it — or cut their
budgets.
Those who rushed to approve the
package now on Deal’s desk don’t
seem overly concerned about shortfalls. They say that the tax breaks it
contains will attract new businesses
and jobs to the state, and that it will
put a bit more money in people’s
pockets. That in turn should produce
new spending that will replace lost
revenue. Maybe. Maybe not. Truth is,
that explanation sounds suspiciously
like a variation on the now disproved
trickle-down economic theory that
inexplicably is still the darling of many
conservative policymakers.
The new legislation will benefit
some individuals and groups once it
becomes law.
Fatter bottom lines
Married couples will be able to
shield more money from the state
income tax. Those who own vehicles
will gain from a slow phase-out of
property tax on cars and trucks. Many
businesses and the agriculture industry will see fatter bottom lines as some
taxes expire and some tax credits
expand. Those benefits, though, will
reduce government revenues.
Legislators say not to worry, that
the new bill will balance the books
by collecting sales taxes from major
Internet retailers, by removing the
sales tax exemption for film producers and by capping a tax exception
on retirement pay for state residents.
That is an overly optimistic view. Less
biased sources say the tax package
will fall short of replacing lost revenue. The Internet tax, the largest
enhancer in the package, is the main
reason for that opinion. Other states
have tried the same tactic, but mostly
without success. The Internet giants
have fought back, filing lawsuits that
continue to delay collection of the
sales tax.
Need for reform remains
The real reason for approval of
the tax bill is self-preservation. One
Republican senator inadvertently
admitted as much when he urged his
colleagues to approve the plan since
they face re-election this fall. “I know
when you knock on doors this summer, the biggest question is jobs,” said
Don Balfour. “And this will help jobs
in our cities and counties and state.”
Legislators should have tackled a
broad range of issues related to tax
equity. Instead, they burnished their
tax-cutting resumes. Consequently,
the need for meaningful tax reform in
Georgia remains.
COMMENTARY
Grieving: A mother’s grace
MIAMI GARDENS,
Fla. — “They called him
Slimm.”
That is what Sybrina Fulton, the mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin,
told me people called her son
because he was so thin.
I talked with her in a restaurant near
h e r h o m e,
four weeks
after George
Zimmerman, a
neighborhood
watch volunteer in a gated
community in
Charles Blow Sanford, Fla.,
shot Trayvon
in the chest
and killed him. Trayvon was
unarmed, carrying nothing
more than candy and a drink.
Fulton brought her own
mother with her, Trayvon’s
grandmother, and we talked
for nearly an hour over iced
tea and lukewarm coffee.
His mother lights up when
she shows me pictures of Trayvon on her phone, even managing an occasional smile that
lifts the shadow of grief and
brightens her face. He was a
gangly boy, all arms and legs
but little weight, nearly 6 feet 3
inches tall but only 140 pounds
and with the cherubic face of a
boy years younger.
She grows distant when she
talks about her loss, occasionally, seemingly involuntarily,
wrapping her hands gently
around her mother’s arm and
resting her head on her mother’s shoulder like a young girl
in need of comfort. The sorrow seems to come in waves.
She and her mother paint a
portrait of an all-American boy,
one anyone would be proud to
call their own. He was a smart
boy who had taken advanced
■ Trayvon was a real boy
with a family that really
loved him.
English and math classes, and
he planned to go to college.
He was a hard worker who
earned extra money by painting houses, and washing cars
and working in the concession of the Pee Wee football
league on the weekends. He
also baby-sat for his younger
cousins, two adorable little
girls ages 3 and 7, whom the
family called the bunnies, and
when he watched the girls he
baked them cookies.
The only fight his mother
could ever recall his having was
with his brother when Trayvon
was about 4 and the brother
was 8. They were fighting for
her attention, and it wasn’t even
a real fight. “They were wrestling. It was so funny,” she said
with a smile. This hardly fits
the profile of a menacing teen
who would attack a grown man
unprovoked, but that is exactly
what Zimmerman contends.
Zimmerman’s statement, as
relayed by police, says he was
following the boy but “he had
lost sight of Trayvon and was
returning to his truck to meet
the police officer when he says
he was attacked by Trayvon.”
Trayvon’s personal account
of who initiated the physical
encounter is forever lost to
the grave, but the initiation is
likely to be the central question in the case.
To believe Zimmerman,
you have to believe that Trayvon, an unarmed boy, a boy
so thin that people called him
Slimm, a boy whose mother said that he had not had
a fight since he was a preschooler, chose that night and
that man to attack. You have
to believe that Trayvon chose
to attack a man who outweighed him by 100 pounds
and who, according to the
Sanford police, was wearing
his gun in a holster. You have
to believe that Trayvon chose
to attack even though he was
less than 100 yards from the
safety of the home where he
was staying.
This is possible, but hardly
sounds plausible.
The key is to determine
who was standing his ground
and defending himself: the boy
with the candy or the man
with the gun. Who was winning the fight is a secondary
question.
That said, we’ll have to wait
for details of the investigation to
be revealed to know for sure. But
while we wait, it is important to
not let Trayvon the person be
lost to Trayvon the symbol. He
was a real boy with a family that
really loved him.
And now he is gone from
his mother forever, only able to
stare out at her as a shining face
on a cellphone. She doesn’t
even have voicemail messages
from him saved. The only way
she could hear Trayvon’s voice
now would be to call his phone
and listen to his answering message, but she dare not do it. “If I
hear his voice, I think I’m going
to scream.”
Every night she says she
dreams of him. Every morning
she says she thinks he’s going
to walk through the door and
say, “Mom, I’m here. You were
dreaming. It’s not true. I’m not
dead. I’m here,” and give her a
hug and a kiss.
And the bunnies — they
still don’t understand where
he is. They’re still asking for
Trayvon, the cousin who came
over and baked them cookies.
Lobbyists, guns and money
Florida’s Stand Your
Ground law, which lets you
shoot someone you consider
threatening without facing
arrest, let alone prosecution,
sounds crazy — and it is. And
it’s tempting to dismiss this law
as the work
of ignorant
yahoos. But
similar laws
have been

across the
nation, not

rations.
Specifically, language virtually identical to Florida’s
law is featured in a template
supplied to legislators in other
states by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a
corporate-backed organization that has managed to keep
a low profile even as it exerts
vast influence (only recently,
thanks to yeoman work by the
Center for Media and Democracy, has a clear picture of
ALEC’s activities emerged).
And if there is any silver lining to Trayvon Martin’s killing,
it is that it might finally place
a spotlight on what ALEC is
doing to our society — and our
democracy.
What is ALEC? Despite
claims that it’s nonpartisan,
it’s very much a movementconservative organization,
funded by the usual suspects:
the Kochs, Exxon Mobil and so
on. Unlike other such groups,
however, it doesn’t just influence laws, it writes them, supplying fully drafted bills to
state legislators. In Virginia,
for example, more than 50
ALEC-written bills have been
introduced, many almost word
for word. These bills often
■ In part it’s the same old
story — the exploitation
of public fears.
become law.
Many ALEC-drafted bills
pursue conservative goals:
union-busting, undermining
environmental protection, tax
breaks for corporations and
the wealthy. ALEC seems,
however, to have a special
interest in privatization — that
is, on turning the provision of
public services, from schools
to prisons, over to for-profit
corporations. Some of the
most prominent beneficiaries
of privatization, such as the
online education company
K12 Inc. and the prison operator Corrections Corporation
of America, are, not surprisingly, very much involved with
ALEC.
What this tells us is that
ALEC’s claim to stand for
limited government and free
markets is deeply misleading.
To a large extent the organization seeks not limited government but privatized government, in which corporations
get their profits from taxpayer
dollars, dollars steered their
way by friendly politicians.
In short, ALEC isn’t so much
about promoting free markets
as it is about expanding crony
capitalism.
And in case you were wondering, no, the kind of privatization ALEC promotes isn’t
in the public interest; instead
of success stories, what we’re
getting are scandals. Private
charter schools, for example,
appear to deliver a lot of profits but little in the way of educational achievement.
But where does the encouragement of vigilante (in)justice
fit into this picture? In part
it’s the same old story — the
exploitation of public fears,
especially those associated
with racial tension, to promote
a pro-corporate, pro-wealthy
agenda. It’s neither an accident nor a surprise that the
National Rifle Association and
ALEC have been close allies
all along.
And ALEC, even more than
other movement-conservative
organizations, is clearly playing a long game. Its legislative
templates aren’t just about
generating immediate benefits
to corporate sponsors; they’re
about creating a political climate that will favor even more
corporation-friendly legislation in the future.
Yet that’s not all; you have
to think about the interests of
the penal-industrial complex
— prison operators, bail-bond
companies and more. (The
American Bail Coalition has
publicly described ALEC as its
“life preserver.”) This complex
has a financial stake in anything that sends more people
into the courts and the prisons,
whether it’s exaggerated fear of
racial minorities or Arizona’s
draconian immigration law,
a law that followed an ALEC
template almost verbatim.
Now, ALEC isn’t singlehandedly responsible for the
corporatization of our political
life; its influence is as much
a symptom as a cause. But
shining a light on ALEC and
its supporters — a roster that
includes many companies,
from AT&T and Coca-Cola
to UPS, that have so far managed to avoid being publicly
associated with the hard-right
agenda — is one good way
to highlight what’s going on.
And that kind of knowledge is
what we need to start taking
our country back.

Chickamauga Dam concerns
M
ost of us don’t often think
about the Chickamauga
Dam on the Tennessee
River, except when we’re boating,
swimming or fishing or when we
drive across the bridge spanning
the dam.
Of course, we enjoy the benefits
of the Tennessee Valley Authoritygenerated electricity the dam helps
provide.
The Chickamauga Dam lock was
built in the 1940s. The aging lock
is crumbling and very much needs
to be replaced. The existing 360foot by 60-foot lock is too small
for today’s large barges. It also has
structural concrete problems.
A new and expanded Chickamauga Lock is estimated to cost
$693 million, and work could be
finished by 2018, according to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
So far, $186 million has been spent
on a bigger replacement lock.
But work on the new lock is on
hold because of a lack of money,
and President Barack Obama’s proposed budget for the 2013 fiscal
year does not include any funds to
maintain the existing lock.
The Corps estimates it will take
at least another $507 million to finish the new lock at the dam.
But funding for repairs and new
locks is inadequate because available funds are being absorbed by
costly dam and lock repairs to the
Olmsted Locks on the Ohio River.
Nevertheless, it’s important to
this region that we keep the lock
open. If it closes, 318 miles of river
upstream of Chattanooga would be
cut off from river traffic.
Not ‘news,’ but why ‘bad’ news?
It’s not really news that the leading cause of death among people
in this country involves heart disease.
It’s reported that nearly a million
people — actually about 935,000
Americans a year — suffer heart
attacks.
No one is immune, of course. But
some people obviously are more
susceptible to heart problems.
Lifestyle factors can put someone at risk for heart disease. Those
include stress-induced high blood
pressure, smoking, obesity and lack
of exercise.
Heart disease is the leading cause
of death for both men and women
in the United States, according to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Coronary heart
disease is the most common type of
heart disease.
In 2010, coronary heart disease
was projected to cost the United
States $108.9 billion including
health care, medications and lost
productivity, the CDC reported.
Most heart attacks happen when
fatty deposits in an artery burst
open, and a blood clot forms to seal
the break, The Associated Press
reports. A clot that is too big blocks
off blood flow.
Dr. Eric Topol, director of California’s Scripps Translational Science Institute, told the AP: “We
don’t have a way to get at whether
an artery’s going to crack.”
Researchers say there still isn’t a
test that can predict with certainty
when that will happen.
And unfortunately, many of us
don’t do enough to head off heart
problems before it’s too late.
But living right, eating right, and
exercising right may help us avoid
suffering heart problems.
Santorum beats Romney, so ...
Well, we all know, of course, that
President Barack Obama is running
for a second term for the Democrats. That’s alarming to many
Americans.
But who’s the option?
Some enthusiastically (and some
with alarm) expect Mitt Romney to
be the eventual Republican nominee to challenge Obama.
But last Saturday in the Republican presidential primary in Louisiana, former Gov. Romney came in
second. The winner in Louisiana’s
Republican primary was Rick Santorum.
So do we still have a horse race
to choose the eventual Republican
presidential candidate? On April 3,
voters in Wisconsin, Maryland and
the District of Columbia will vote
in Republican presidential primaries.
Are you encouraged about the
prospects of either Romney or Santorum for the Republicans?
Is Obama encouraged by the
prospects of facing either one of
them?
Our November presidential election will be very important — and
the choice of our president for the
next four years surely will have tremendous effects on all Americans.
Decision on ‘your’ med care
What medical care you receive
and how you pay for it are huge
questions that the nine justices of
the U.S. Supreme Court will begin
to decide this week.
This week, the nation’s highest
court will hear arguments on health
care reform. The justices will decide
whether the health care law passed
in 2010 violates the U.S. Constitution.
Their decision will affect millions
of Americans, both medically and
financially, and set the future direction of American health care.
The court has scheduled six hours
of oral arguments over three days
— the longest number of hours set
aside to hear a case since 1966.
Under the law, Americans must
obtain health insurance, either
through private plans or public
programs. Those who don’t obtain
health insurance will pay a financial
penalty.
■ First, the Supreme Court will
decide whether current lawsuits are
premature, because of an 1867 law
that says people cannot sue over
federal taxes until they actually pay
those taxes. In this case, that would
mean the insurance tax penalty
for not buying health insurance, as
required under the law.
■ If the high court proceeds, as it
is expected to do, the justices will
wrestle with the question of whether you, as an individual American,
can be forced to buy medical insurance.
■ Then the court will consider
whether striking down one part of
the law, like the individual mandate, would make the whole law
invalid.
■ Finally, the court will consider
whether the health care law unconstitutionally coerces states into
expanding Medicaid. States that fail
to cover more people would lose
funding.
Will the high court decide that a
mandate that every American must
have health insurance is acceptable?
Will the justices render sweeping
orders that will affect us all medically, financially and personally?
Whatever their decision, there is
no question that the future of all
Americans’ medical care, our taxes,
and our national economy will be
enormously affected by whatever the
Supreme Curt ultimately decides.
Letters to the Editors
—— ❖ ——
Bo Watson’s bill
is necessary
Anyone who says “there
is no scientific evidence
against (evolution)” is ignorant or lying, no matter what
title he may have. Here’s
why:
Evolution violates the law
of biogenesis, which states
that “life only comes from
other life.”
A single cell is far more
complex than a computer,
with hundreds of interdependent processes that all
must work correctly. Mathematics proves the chance of
this happening is zero.
Evolution requires massive amounts of new DNA
information for every species, the generation of which
has never been observed.
Mutations are overwhelmingly damaging, and even
those considered beneficial
consist of loss of information.
Evolution requires huge
numbers of transitional species — all of which are missing. Darwin himself knew
this was a fatal flaw which he
hoped would be overcome
but has not.
The history of evolution
is one of hoaxes, lies, errors
and falsification: Piltdown
Man, peppered moths, the
evolutionary tree, embryo
drawings, spontaneous generation, etc.
This theory would have
been discarded long ago if
evolutionists did not desperately want it to be true.
Scientific inquiry and free
speech are threats to their
faith. This is — unfortunately — why Bo Watson’s bill is
necessary.

Smith right choice
for school board
Our community needs a
school board representative
who has a long-term vision
for building a better school
system without losing focus
on meeting the educational
needs of all students in our
community.
Our community needs
a strong advocate on the
school board who understands the importance of
closing the achievement
gap while ensuring all children are ready to compete
in today’s competitive workforce and for the jobs of
tomorrow.
As a leading business
executive in Chattanooga,
Ken Smith knows how to
manage a budget while maximizing limited resources
to their fullest extent. As a
father of public school children and husband to a public
school teacher, Ken understands the challenges facing
our schools and teachers.
Ken also is the only candidate who campaigned for
the District 3 seat in 2010,
where he received more than
24 percent of the vote.
I encourage the commissioners to take the 2010 election and Ken’s background
into consideration when
making this decision rather
than appoint someone who
is not engaged in our schools
and has little understanding
of the complex issues facing
our schools.
Ken is the right choice
for our community and will
help strengthen the school
board.

Ooltewah High
is simply the best
With all the East Hamilton rezoning fuss in the
news, I’d like to say I am a
proud parent of an Ooltewah
High School student. Several
have stated that OHS is substandard. I couldn’t disagree
more.
My child is an honor student at OHS and has been
blessed with great teachers
and educational opportunities. In fact, OHS has an
abundance of electives and
extra-curricular activities to
suit most any interest. The
new International Baccalaureate Diploma program,
Advanced Placement and
honors courses, and dual
enrollment opportunities are
just some of the many examples of OHS’s dedication to
academic excellence.
OHS has dedicated and
outstanding coaches who
have contributed to very successful athletic teams. The
dance team won TSSAA’s
state championship this year
for high kick. The basketball
team recently competed in
the state playoffs. There’s
an amazing JROTC program
and a band that has marched
in Disney’s Christmas Day
Parade and the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Parade. OHS
offers a wide gamut of athletic teams, clubs, and service
organizations — something
for almost any student.
OHS is not sub-standard
by any means. OHS leadership is top-notch and strives
for academic success. The
school motto, “Simply the
Best,” sums it up nicely.

R-rated ‘Bully’ is
film worth seeing
In reading about an R rating for the movie “Bully,” I
couldn’t understand the reasoning behind downgrading
it to a lower rating.
An R rating means anyone under 17 could not be
admitted without an adult. If
the child is accompanied by
an adult, they are allowed to
see the film.
Do the makers of the film
really believe a group of 15year-olds would choose to
see this film on their own?
Does anyone think an average 15-year-old is mature
enough to mentally process
the message of a film about
bullying?
Regardless of the rating,
parents should be taking
their children to this movie,
discussing it and reinforcing
the message.

Say no to Healthy
Baby Contest
My therapy dog and I visit
Children’s Hospital monthly.
Every child who pets him
has a moment of “normal”
in their lives.
Our f irst experience
there was with a dying boy.
His grandmother put Toby’s
paw on the boy’s hand and
took a picture. What can
anyone say in that situation? My throat constricted
as I mumbled “You have a
beautiful child.” I have seen
a teenage boy’s face light up
as he reached over the nurse
who was drawing blood to
give my dog a treat.
At KidzExpo there is a
“Healthy and Happy Baby”
contest. I think it is so sad
that despite having sick and
injured kids in their care,
Children’s Hospital has chosen to sanction this contest.
I encourage all the sponsors to withdraw their support and cancel the contest
or for parents to boycott it.
Barring that, perhaps a child
with cancer, spina bifida or a
cleft palate could be named
the “Healthy and Happy
Baby.” Their parents are
proud of their child’s courage and admire their beauty,
despite the pain.
Please, this is no way to
honor someone who has no
choice about their health. It
is exploitation at its ugliest.

4,400-square-foot office
will sit on the second

412 Georgia Ave. The site
will have free parking.
Manager John Grzesiak
said he expects the space
will be easily accessible
for customers.
“It’s newer; it’s impressive,” he said, comparing
the new office to the current facility at 820 Broad
St. “It’s a better fit for us.”

Apps helping Comcast market its digital library
By Ellis Smith
Staff Writer
A group of developers at Comcast
is creating apps that turn events like
the Olympics and March Madness
from confusing to connected.
It’s part of an effort by the cable
giant to allow subscribers a “deeper
dive” into their favorite TV shows
and movies through mobile apps, as
Comcast fires a shot across the bow of
challengers such as Netflix and local
rival EPB.
In the past, a bevy of competitors
has put shows online, negating for
some the need for traditional cable TV.
Now, Comcast is joining the party in
a big way, marketing its digital library
and making it accessible from the same
spaces where competitors traditionally
have enjoyed free reign.
AT A GLANCE
■ Name: AnyPlay
■ Cost: Free to Comcast
subscribers
■ Where: Apple iPad, iPhone,
Android, Xbox 360
■ When: Available now for
mobile devices, coming soon
for Xbox 360
■ What: Allows users to watch
On Demand content and
specialized apps for live events
The company’s pay once, watch
everywhere philosophy opens its
digital library of nearly 75,000 titles,
making shows available on iPad and
computer the day after they’re broadcast on TV. The new content and apps
on new devices cost nothing for existing customers.
“AnyPlay gives you the ability to
watch the game even while you’re
grilling on the deck,” said Jim Weigert,
vice president and general manager
for Comcast in Chattanooga. “It’s great
for kids’ rooms, too, so you don’t have
to have a TV in every single room in
the house.”
Soon, all of Comcast’s On Demand
content also will be available on the
Xbox 360, which boasts 65.8 million
installed units. Two of the tech gurus
responsible for new technology brought
the as-yet-unreleased Xbox 360 app to
Chattanooga for a preview, saying it’s
just a taste of things to come.
They say it’s part of the company’s
answer for the so-called “cord cutters”
who cancel their cable subscription

Major stock indexes
erased a week’s worth of
losses Monday, surging after
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke signaled the
central bank is committed
to a policy that has helped
stocks rally for three years.
The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 160.90 points, or
1.2 percent, to 13,241.63. The
Nasdaq composite index
added 54.65 points, or 1.8
percent, to 3,122.57, which is
its highest close since midNovember 2000.
Bernanke said Monday
the U.S. job market remains
weak despite three months
of strong hiring and that the
Federal Reserve’s existing
policies will help boost economic growth. Many took
Bernake’s cautious words
about the economy to mean
the Fed is likely to stick to
its plan to hold short-term
interest rates at record lows
through 2014.
Though the hiring has
helped support consumer
confidence and incomes,
“we have not seen that in
a persuasive way yet,” Bernanke said. The Fed needs to
“remain cautious” in deciding what its next moves
should be, he said.
Further job gains likely
will require stronger consumer and business demand,
Bernanke said in a speech to
the National Association for
Business Economics spring
conference.
Some viewed the speech
as a signal that the Fed might

launching. A few local
Allstate Insurance offices
started using the program,
and Woople soon became
the training supplier for all
of the organization’s 12,300
offices. In its first year,
the company brought in
about $4 million. This year,
Woople is on track to hit
$20 million in revenue.
■ Inspiration: After 28
years in education, Woople
owner and founder Paul
Cummings noticed a trend
toward online learning. His
five kids helped persuade
him to start a Web service,
but he soon found the
content management
systems available were
overpriced and unfriendly
to users. “The fact of the
matter is people were being
overcharged for years,” he
said. “We had four simple
things; Woople has to be
simple, affordable, fun,
efficient.”
■ Goals: Cummings is
an educator at heart. He
already has started on
plans to record lessons with
top kindergarten through
12th-grade teachers, and
wants to make them an
affordable supplement for
all students. “We believe
we’ve got an affordableenough product that we can
put it in every household for
under five bucks,” he said.

CONTENT
The answer is content.
As the No. 1 provider of video and
residential Internet service in the U.S.,
Comcast owns or has access to more
content than its competitors, especially
in light of its takeover of NBC Universal completed in early 2011, said Todd
Gold, executive editor for Xfinity TV.
“Our problem is more how when
you have access to everything, how
do you entertain your audience,” Gold
said.

Stearns hired all but former Covenant Bank CEO
Trent Sanford among Covenant’s 21-employee staff.
“We hope we can better
serve these bank customers with the strength of our
capital and our status as a
preferred SBA [Small Business Administration] lender,”
said Norm Skalicky, the chief
executive and largest shareholder for Stearns Bank.
“We’re a heavily capitalized
bank, and we can come in to
help the bank, the employees, the community and the
FDIC.”
The purchase of Covenant’s assets is the seventh
such acquisition of a failed
bank by Stearns. Skalicky
said his bank is looking at
more such FDIC-aided purchases, including others in
Georgia.
“We’ll see how it goes,
but I think we’ll bid on other
banks [in Georgia] because
there are others in a similar
situation,” he said.

deposits up to $250,000, will
absorb 80 percent of the cost
of the loan losses from Covenant’s failure and expects the
insurance fund to lose about
$31.5 million from the bank
failure.
Covenant was the 78th
Georgia bank to fail since the
recession began in 2008 —
the most of any state. Despite
Georgia’s record number of
bank failures, the industry is
showing improvement, analysts said Monday.
“The picture from 2011
was a year of stabilization
and improvement for our
industry,” said David Oliver, a
senior vice president for the
Georgia Bankers Association.
“Earnings turned positive for
the first time since 2008.”
Last year, 60.3 percent of
Georgia’s 238 banks reported
profits, up from 45.9 percent
the previous year. Overall,
Georgia banks made $569.8
million in 2011, a $2.4 billion
improvement from the collective losses in 2010, Oliver
said.
Weiss Ratings, a leading
independent rating agency
of U.S. financial institutions,
reported Monday that profits
were up for banks nationwide
in the fourth quarter for the
second year in a row.
Of the 78 bank failures
in Georgia, the FDIC has
arranged for other banks to
take over the assets of the
failed banks in all but six
instances.

‘Pink slime’ maker suspends work at three plants
LUBBOCK, Texas — The maker
of “pink slime” suspended operations
Monday at all but one plant where the
beef ingredient is made, acknowledging recent public uproar over the product has cost the company business.
Craig Letch, director of food quality and assurance for Beef Products
Inc., declined to discuss financial
details but said business has taken a
“substantial” hit since social media
exploded with worry over the ammonia-treated filler and an online peti-

For the same flat $29.95 that
users already pay for their TV
service, they now can pick up
their iPad or Android tablet, walk to any room in the
house and indulge in a nonstop “Arrested Development”
marathon, he said.
A new application on
Microsoft’s Xbox allows
users to wave their hands or
use their voice to pick a TV
show from the couch, though
Comcast still is waiting for
Microsoft to approve it.
If the boss isn’t looking,
workers can queue up shows,

even create favorite lists of On

tion seeking its ouster from schools
drew hundreds of thousands of supporters. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has decided school districts
may stop using it, and some retail
chains have pulled products containing it from their shelves.
Federal regulators say the product,
which has been used for years and is
known in the industry as “lean, finely
textured beef,” meets food safety standards. But critics call the product an
unappetizing example of industrialized food production.
Beef Products will suspend opera-
for a monthly fee, said Tom
Blaxland, senior director for
Xfinity TV.
“Historically, you’ve always
had to go buy the latest physical media like Blu-Ray,” Blaxland said. “Now your subscription gives you all of that.”
There’s even a new term
for when consumers record
so much content on their
DVR that they have to delete
unwatched shows to make
room for new ones: “Ti-No,”
according to Blaxland.
The cable giant’s embrace
of giving away all the goodies
in every format serves both to
remind users of why they pay
that monthly live TV subscription, and to build brand loyalty
in the long term, he said.
“Hulu only does certain
networks, while we have all
the networks,” he said, noting
that other rivals like Netflix
force users to wait for months
before offering new content.
“Netflix will get it two years
behind, but we have the current episodes of “30 Rock” and
we also have all the way back
to season one.”

NBC bought the rights to

and Comcast plans to take
advantage of the arrangement,
he said.
Gold claims that the developers, who hail from Philadelphia, have found a way to
make the 32 summer sports as
easy to navigate as the March
Madness tournament.
“People won’t have the
anxiety of missing something,”
Gold said.
The Olympics application
for mobile devices will allow
users to jump from event to

them to jump from event to

ters will continue operations.
The company, meanwhile, will
develop a strategy for rebuilding business. “We feel like when people can
start to understand the truth and reality, then our business will come back,”
he said. “It’s 100 percent beef.”
The lower-cost ingredient is made
from fatty bits of meat left over from
other cuts. The bits are heated and
spun to remove most of the fat. The
lean mix then is compressed into
blocks for use in ground meat. The
product is exposed to ammonium
hydroxide gas to kill bacteria.
“We’ll have profiles of athletes, tours of London, local
color, previews of events,
every angle,” he said.
The app will be ready in
about 20 days, allowing for 100
days of lead-up for true Olympics fans, he said. But, there’s
a catch. “It’s just for Comcast
customers,” he said.

Thomas said the Bradley
County site, which holds hundreds of thousands of items,
typically carries goods larger
in size than the Hamilton
County location.
For example, the Bradley
County center holds inventory such as lawn tractors,
barbecue grills and water
heaters along with bulk items.
It lacks the noisy array of long
conveyor systems carrying
smaller goods that line the
Hamilton County center.
On Monday in the giant
facility here, electric-powered forklifts scurried up and
down its web of aisles, regularly beeping their horns to
prevent a collision.
About three dozen forklift
recharging stations line one
side of the center.

Bradley County Mayor
D. Gary Davis said Amazon
originally pledged to create 250 full-time jobs at the
Charleston site.
“Now, they’ve almost doubled that,” he said.
State Rep. Kevin Brooks,
R-Cleveland, said Amazon
has “gone above and beyond”
what it originally promised.
The House assistant
majority leader said Amazon will have five distribution centers in Tennessee
when it’s finished building
two more this year.
Doug Berry, vice president
for economic development

Chamber of Commerce, said
Amazon fills “a good niche”

Cleveland, Tenn., Mayor
Tom Rowland quipped that
Amazon’s Bradley distribution center is so big that “we
could save a lot of money

its airport.
Thomas said the new storage space will add about 20

The Lady Bears (38-0), who are back

Don’t misunderstand.
UT in no way deserved to
be a No. 1 seed. With eight
losses, the Lady Vols actually may have been given
a gift as a second seed.
But could the selection committee not have

Stanford in the Fresno

Lady Vols were humbled
by both the Fighting Irish

As for the fourth No. 1,
given the frigid relationship that exists between
UConn coach Geno

that potential pairing
would have been equally
devastating for far different reasons.

■ The Vols’ receiver
recovering from knee
surgery is “pretty excited”
after Monday’s practice.
By Patrick Brown
Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE — One route
was all Justin Hunter needed
to feel a brief moment of nostalgia.
The junior-to-be Tennessee
receiver took off on a deep pattern early during the Volunteers’
first spring practice Monday
morning, and the memories of
where he was before a devastating knee injury certainly flashed
in his head.
Making it through today,
though, will be the trick for
Hunter and UT.
“It was good in the beginning,” Hunter said after his first
practice since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in the Vols’
loss at Florida last September.
“Toward the end of practice I
felt a little soreness, but by that
time it was straight.
“I’m pretty excited because
the first day it wasn’t that bad,
but I know tomorrow’s going to
be a different day. I was running
on it a lot today.”
One advantage Hunter will
have as he tries to maximize a
limited spring is the daily rehabilitation he’s already endured.
More than six months removed
from the injury, he is ahead of
schedule in making a full recovery.
Monday was evidence of that,
as the 6-foot-4, 200-pounder
was making cuts, running routes
and catching passes sooner than
expected, though he certainly
isn’t 100 percent.
“He went through the whole
practice, but it’s not where he
can go full speed and then we
back him down,” coach Derek
Dooley said. “He’s kind of at
the same pace throughout practice, and it’s hard for him when
he’s getting pressed and those
[defensive] guys are full speed.
But he did: He went through
the whole practice, he ran a lot
of routes and now I think we
just have to see how his knee
responds from today.
“He probably did a little more
than we had anticipated back in
February. They’re moving along
— both him and [linebacker]
Brent [Brewer] are moving at a
pretty good pace — and we’ve
got to be smart about how we

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Baylor
University women’s basketball team has
just two wins to go for 40-0. Tennessee’s
future is far less certain.
Brittney Griner had 23 points, 15
rebounds and nine blocks before being
ejected with less than a minute left
Monday night, and top-seeded Baylor rolled over the Lady Vols 77-58 to
advance to the Final Four.
Shekinna Stricklen had 22 points

became its first four-year class not to
reach a Final Four.

Baylor has Moore
softball incentive

UT’s Justin Hunter watches
a game last season while
injured but is back now.
The Baylor softball team’s motto
this year is “State championship on
the field, fighting for Moore off the
field.” But the Lady Red Raiders
will be “fighting for Moore” at their
field Thursday.
Baylor is hosting neighboring
Red Bank High School in a Hits for
Hope fundraising game for breastcancer awareness. One reason is
that Kelly Moore, mother of junior
shortstop and pitcher Sarah Moore,
is in an ongoing battle with the disease.
“It will change your life in an
instant,” Kelly said. “You go from
being happy and healthy to being a
patient and a number label.”
Sarah turned 16 last March 10
and got the horrible birthday pres-

ent of her mother being diagnosed
with breast cancer that day. Kelly
has since been through two major
rounds of chemotherapy, in addition to dealing with radiation treatments, and had a couple of hospital
stays.
“It’s been very rough,” she said.
And no doubt rough on Sarah.
“It’s just the type of kid Sarah is,”
Baylor coach Kelli Smith said. “She
never mentioned it in practice. She

never said a word.”
It hasn’t affected Sarah’s play.
She’s 1-0 as a pitcher and has a
.333 average with two homers and
12 RBIs batting leadoff for a 10-1
team.
The Baylor community knew the
situation and Kelly said the support
— from the cards to the visits to the
help with laundry — has been huge.
She made it to as many games as she
could last year, noting she treasures

Fuzzard passed Amanda Cone’s SoCon career

game and had two homers, a triple, two doubles,
10 RBIs and nine runs scored for the week. The

N.J. — Tim Tebow laughed
a few times, smiled steadily
and stayed polite and composed.
If being surrounded by
dozens of cameras and
scores of media people
made him nervous, the
New York Jets’ new backup
quarterback didn’t show
it.
He was cool and calm
— exactly how he looked
during those hair-raising
comebacks last season
with the Denver Broncos.
His message: I’m here to
help, not to create another
Jets controversy.
“It’s an honor for all of
you to show up to hear me
say a few words,” a grinning Tebow told a pack of
more than 200 reporters.
Asked what he thought
about the media crush, he
said: “I really don’t think
it will be much of a distraction because, honestly,
I will try not to pay too
much attention to it.”
But Monday was only
the beginning, even though
both he and No. 1 quarterback Mark Sanchez don’t
want more drama.
Tebow spoke for more
than 30 minutes at a news
conference held in the
team’s field house because
the media turnout was
so massive it couldn’t be
accommodated in the normal press room. It was
hardly a run-of-the-mill
meet-and-greet, with the
star of the show hardly a
part-time player.
Cameras flashed, capturing every Tebow step,
as he strolled onto the
field and made his way to
the podium for his big New
York close-up. He appeared
polished and unfazed handling a barrage of 31 questions, most of his answers
measured and upbeat as
he deftly handled the local
media.
Tebow, who used the
word “excited” more than
40 times, refused to stir the
volatile mix that is the Jets.
He went out of his way to
say he believes he and Sanchez can co-exist despite
all the skeptics. And there
are plenty.
“I think the exciting
thing is me and Mark have a
great relationship,” Tebow

El Salvador keeps U.S.
from shot at Olympics
NASHVILLE — Jaime
Alas scored in stoppage time
and El Salvador ousted the
United States from Olympic
qualifying Monday night with
a 3-3 tie. The Americans had to
win to reach Saturday’s semifinals in Kansas City, Kan., and
they led 3-2 on Joe Corona’s
goal in the 68th minute. But
Alas scored his goal off the
hands off keeper Sean Johnson to stun the Americans,
who missed the Olympics for
the second time since 1976. El
Salvador reached the semifinals, putting it a win away
from its first Olympic berth
since 1968. Canada, which
tied Cuba 1-1 earlier, finished
second. Lester Blanco and
Andres Flores also scored for
El Salvador. Terrence Boyd
scored twice for the U.S., and
Johnson replaced keeper Bill
Hamid in the 39th minute.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
■ ATLANTA — Georgia
Tech began spring football
practice with some bad news:
Senior linebacker Julian
Burnett is unlikely to play
this season. The school has
been vague about Burnett’s
condition, which apparently
stems from a tackle he made
in a Sun Bowl loss to Utah.
He led the Yellow Jackets in
rate never before seen in golf — and
then two years in the middle with no
trophies at all. That’s what makes Bay
Hill the start of a comeback, or at least
the start of his second career.
“Every golfer has two careers,”
Johnny Miller said at the end of
NBC’s telecast. “You have the first
burst, and then sometimes you have
a lull, and then you have a second
career. Some guys have a pretty darn
good second career. If I was coaching
him, I’d say, ‘OK, you made the mistakes you made. Let’s just start over.
This is the second career. You’ve got
a new swing. Let’s see what you can
do with this one.’
“It wouldn’t totally surprise me if
he were to win 35 to 40 times from
now,” he said. “He could do it. The way
he is playing right now, he is going to
kick butt.”
Afflalo added 22, and the Nuggets shot 50
percent to beat the Bulls.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods
might be the only one who doesn’t
consider his win at Bay Hill the start
of a comeback.
As much joy as he felt on the 18th
green after finishing a five-shot victory — his first win on the PGA Tour in
two and a half years — he was all business when he fielded his first question
about what kind of leap forward this
might be.
“This is my second win,” Woods
said.
Technically, he was right.
Woods counts the Chevron World
Challenge nearly four months ago,
when he finished birdie-birdie for a
one-shot win over Zach Johnson. He
earned world ranking points that day.
And while it was only an 18-man field,
every player had to be among the top
50 in the world to qualify.
But later when he talked about his
progression, he mentioned just about every
event except the one
he won — the 36-hole
lead in the Australian
Open, a share of the 54hole lead in Abu Dhabi,
being in contention at
Pebble Beach and the
closing 62 at the Honda
Tiger
Classic.
There is no denying Woods
Woods is starting the second phase
of his career. He had every right to
bristle, as he did 11 years ago at Bay
Hill, at the mere mention of a slump
for going three months without a PGA
Tour win.
His record will show winning at a
tackles the last two seasons.
Tim Tebow holds his first news conference since joining the New York Jets.
said. “We have had a great
relationship for the last
three years, I think. We’ve
been friends. We text
back and forth. We talked
already and we’re going to
have a great working relationship. I think we’ll have
a lot of fun together.”
The two do have a bit
of shared history. Sanchez hosted Tebow on his
recruiting trip to Southern
California. Sanchez didn’t
watch the big news conference because he was
working out, but he also
isn’t worried that Tebow
could take his job at some
point.
“We’re adding another
player and were not replacing anybody,” Sanchez said.
“I mean, he’s here to help
us and I’m confident in my
abilities. I know the team
feels the same way about
me. They have belief in
me.
“I’m not worried about
losing my spot.”
Payton may continue
NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell might allow
Sean Payton to coach the
Saints while he appeals his
season-long suspension for
his role in the team’s bounties program.
“I said in a letter they
have to appeal by April 2, I
believe,” Goodell said Mon-
day at the owners meetings
in Palm Beach, Fla. “If he
decides to appeal, I probably will allow him to continue and I would expedite
the hearing and I would
expedite my decision.
“We did meet twice and
went through the information. If he has something
else for me to consider, I
will.”
Payton’s agent, Donald
Yee, said “no decisions have
been made about an appeal”
by his client.
“Sean fully supports
the league’s player safety
goals,” Yee said. “Given this,
he probably won’t address
the entire league” when he
arrives at the owners meetings.
Browns get four picks
At Cleveland, the
Browns have holes all over
the field. Monday, they got
four more draft picks to
help plug them.
The NFL awarded
Cleveland four compensatory picks in this year’s
draft, giving the Browns a
total of 13, a baker’s dozen
of choices to revamp a talent-starved roster with
offensive and defensive
needs.
The club gained two
sixth-round picks (Nos. 204
and 205 overall) and a pair
in the seventh round (Nos.
245 and 247). The Browns
already have the No. 4 overall pick and three of the top
37 selections, which they
hope to improve a team
that went 4-12 last season
and has made the playoffs
just once in the past 13
years.
The Browns, Green Bay
Packers and New York Jets
were each given four picks,
and 32 picks were awarded
to 15 teams.
Before this year, the
Browns had only received
two compensatory picks
since the league first started awarding choices in
1994.
Under league rules, a
team losing more or better compensatory free
agents than it acquires in
the previous year is eligible
to receive compensatory
picks.
Concussions reduced
At Palm Beach, Fla.,
Rich McKay of the NFL’s
competition committed
said that moving kickoffs
up 5 yards last season
did exactly what the NFL
sought, reducing concussions.
“There was a 40 percent
reduction in concussions
on that play,” McKay said,
but he admitted surprise
that total kickoff returns
dropped 53 percent.

Stanford strong
in topping Duke
By Janie McCauley
FRESNO, Calif. — Nnemkadi
Ogwumike will end her sensational senior season right where she
has the rest: at the Final Four.
Ogwumike made it happen
on both ends of the floor with 29
points and nine rebounds Monday night despite constant doubleteams, sending top-seeded Stanford past No. 2 seed Duke 81-69
in the Fresno Regional final for
the Cardinal’s fifth straight Final
Four berth.
Little sister, Chiney, did plenty to seal the Denver trip, too
— along with everybody else.
Chiney Ogwumike grabbed 17
rebounds to go with 12 points and
freshman Amber Orrange came
through with 13 points and four
assists as the Cardinal extended
their school-record winning streak
to 32 games.
Nneka Ogwumike is headed
back to the Final Four in her
NCAA tournament farewell with
that elusive championship still in
reach. Stanford (35-1), looking for
the program’s first title since 1992,
will play Sunday night against
Brittney Griner and unbeaten Baylor (38-0) at the Pepsi Center.

cent shooting from the floor. Much
of that was because of the inside
presence of the 6-foot-8 Griner,
who was just one block shy of her
fifth career triple-double.
“Defense wins ballgames for
you,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey
said. “I guess learned from two of
the best. I learned from [Summitt]
and [former Louisiana Tech coach]
Leon Barmore, you better guard
people. And these kids are going
to guard you.”
A rather ugly game for a purist’s
perspective got even uglier in the
final 46.8 seconds.
Baylor’s Odyssey Sims, who led
the Bears with 27 points, tumbled
to the floor, and she and Stricklen had to be separated and were
each assessed a technical foul for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
No punches were thrown, but
Griner and teammates Terran
Condrey and Jordan Madden were
ejected for leaving the bench. The
NCAA said none of the players will
be suspended for the Final Four.
“Just got caught in the heat of
the moment,” Sims said. “Everything’s fine now.”
As for Summitt, she was given
a standing ovation from Tennessee
and Baylor fans when she came out
roughly 15 minutes before tipoff.
But as defeat became apparent, she

had in their three NCAA wins.
The projected No. 1 pick in the
WNBA draft, Nneka Ogwumike
scored in the paint, on the perimeter, on leaping putbacks and even
by knocking down a pretty 10-foot
turnaround jumper late in the first
half as the Cardinal built a comfortable 40-25 lead at the break.
Stanford boasted a strong rooting section that made the threehour trip from the Bay Area to the
Save Mart Center, including Cardinal football coach David Shaw
and his wife, Kori. The couple
sat alongside former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice.
In a matchup dubbed “nerd on

crazy with his
inconsistency.
‘Russdiculous’

a timeout in the second half against Baylor on Monday.

recently has been concerned with
fairness.
For proof, consider that beginning in 1982, the Lady Vols played
at least one NCAA tourney game
on their home court for 22 straight
years. We repeat, 22 straight years.
What kind of uproar would there
be if North Carolina or Kentucky
got to play the first game or two
of March Madness inside the
Dean Dome or Rupp Arena for 22
straight years?
Exactly.
But the women needed fannies
in the seats, and the only way to
ensure that would happen was to
place higher seeds on their home
courts whenever possible. Beyond
that, the Lady Vols also hosted six
regional finals, two of those becoming a portion of two of Summitt’s
eight national championships.
Point is, should this become
Summitt’s final season as she continues the fight of her life against
Alzheimer’s, would it have been so
wrong to give her at least a sporting chance to reach her 19th Final
Four?
Beyond that, would it not have
been an incredibly smart business
decision? Can you imagine the ratings for the women’s Final Four
if Summitt and the Lady Vols had
won their way there?
Especially if she faced Baylor
or UConn in the Final Four? Or
both? Heck, if UT reached the title
game — admittedly a long shot — it
might have set ratings record for
the women’s final.
Instead, what could well be the
final game of Summitt’s untouchable career ended on a monotonous Monday night in Des Moines
against a Baylor team only her
very best Lady Vols championship
squads could have been given a reasonable chance to beat.
Said UT associate head coach
Holly Warlick in Monday’s aftermath, tears rolling down her cheeks:
“This team is about Pat Summitt.”
In truth, women’s basketball has
been about Pat Summitt for 38 seasons. And because of that, solely
because of that, would it have been
too much to ask of the selection
committee that it make this tournament about Summitt for as long as
possible rather than handing her a
draw all but certain to remove the
Lady Vols from the field one win
shy of the Final Four?
Just asking.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville guard Russ Smith is the offensive catalyst who plays entirely by
feel — often frustrating coach Rick
Pitino.
Yet Pitino knows he can’t win
without his frenetic playmaker.
The sophomore is averaging
13.3 points in the NCAA tournament and his play will be pivotal
when Louisville faces Kentucky
in Saturday’s rematch at the Final
Four in New Orleans.
Smith scored 30 points in the
Cardinals’ 69-62 loss to the Wildcats
on Dec. 31 — the most points any
individual scored against Kentucky
this season — but he has mental
lapses that raise Pitino’s ire.
Pitino coined a term for his
inconsistency: “Russdiculous.”
Smith’s antics led Pitino to say
during a Monday teleconference
that Senegal native Gorgui Dieng
is not the only foreign-born player
on his roster.
“He’s not from a different country,” Pitino said of Smith. “He’s
from a different planet.”
Smith has ably directed Louisville’s offense for long stretches. At
other times, he’s been able to shoot
himself straight to the bench.
“It’s just that you can’t fathom
what he’s going to do when he
takes you off the bounce,” Pitino
said. “That’s the difficult thing
coaching him.”
Almost enough to make Pitino
lose it.
After one game this season, he
called coaching Smith the closest
thing he’s ever had to a nervous
breakdown, and Smith is often
seen apologizing to Pitino on the
bench or after games.
“I take a lot of risks and I do a
lot of things that maybe are questioned a lot, but I have total confidence in my abilities, so I guess
that’s most important,” Smith said.
“I get like very, very hyped because
I did do something good or something maybe that I should not have
done, and then it’ll work and then
I’ll know that Coach is upset, but it
was a positive, so we got a positive
out of it, so Coach is just satisfied
that everything worked.
“But then again there’s that play
that if it don’t work, it’s just like,
I’m going to the bench, I’m about
to get destroyed.”
It’s hard not to laugh at Smith,
a 160-pound lightly recruited prep
school player who often has a big
smile and loves to answer even the
most mundane questions.
After Louisville advanced to the
regional semifinals, Smith mugged
for the cameras during Pitino’s live
shot on the arena floor and gave
his coach bunny ears before Pitino
finally pulled him to the side.
“He has a unique ability to score,
but he has no clue how to play the
game,” Pitino joked. “So the first
thing we had to do is, ‘OK, Russ,
let’s go from eight ridiculous shots
a game to five to three. Now let’s get
— because we’re going to the Final
Four, to one, two.’ And he’s done
that. So he has bailed us out of more
situations this year with his play.”
Smith scored 19 points in Louisville’s 72-68 West Regional final
victory over Florida but also committed four of the Cardinals’ six
turnovers, including two in the
final 2:25 after point guard Peyton
Siva fouled out.
Washpun released from UT basketball
By Patrick Brown
Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE — It took less
than a week for the Tennessee
men’s basketball program to solve
the math problem with its roster.
The school announced Monday that Wes Washpun has been
granted a release from his scholarship and will transfer out of the
program. The freshman point guard
averaged 10.2 minutes, 0.9 point and
1.3 rebounds in 17 appearances this
season. His last appearance came
in UT’s win at Florida on Feb. 11, in
which he picked up a technical foul
in the game’s waning moments.
“We wish nothing but the best
for Wes,” UT coach Cuonzo Martin said in the university’s release.
“He’s a high-character kid who
comes from a good family. We all
want him to be successful.”
Washpun was Martin’s first
commitment after the coach took
the job in late March. The athletic,
6-foot-1, 163-pound Iowa native was
the last from Martin’s first class
to arrive, though, after he wasn’t
cleared by the NCAA until August.
He didn’t play in UT’s final nine
games, surrendering his backup
point guard spot to a rotation of
Josh Richardson, Skylar McBee
and Jordan McRae.
When Atlanta-area wing Armani
Moore committed to UT last week,
it put the Vols one over the 13-player scholarship limit for next season
and indicated at least one player
from this year’s roster would not
return. Washpun’s lack of playing
time made him a likely candidate.
Center Kenny Hall remains
indefinitely suspended.

‘assistants’
By John Zenor
By John Frierson
Staff Writer
The first sign that something was up came
at the end of practice last Wednesday. As University of Tennessee at Chattanooga all-conference safety D.J. Key jogged off the field, he
turned and encouraged Keith Mayes to hustle
toward the exit at Scrappy Moore Field.
Key is one of the Mocs’ best players, but
he’s not known for being chatty. In fact, one
could follow him around practice for a week
and hardly hear a word. But Key is one of 10
players charged by Mocs coach Russ Huesman with speaking up and serving as “assistant coaches.”
“We’ve got 10 more assistant coaches out
here, and I want energy,” Huesman said.
Huesman picked a player from each position group to serve as the leader of that position. He said he doesn’t want cheerleaders
or guys who simply yell out, “Come on!”
Huesman selected players he thinks can be
leaders, guys who can push their teammates
and hold one another accountable.
“All of that stuff,” he said. “Like what you
saw with D.J. Key. He’s not a vocal person, but
now we’re starting to get him more vocal.”
Key said the experience is good for him,
especially now that he’s the Mocs’ veteran
safety. Before this spring Key had played
with Jordan Tippit, who loved to talk.
“There’s always leading by example, but
it’s important to talk to your teammates and
let them know they need to do this or do that
and help the team,” he said. “I like that we’re
doing it and I think it will help me because I
know I need to be a vocal leader.”
The idea for assigning players as “assistant coaches” came to Huesman last week.
He spoke at length to the team following last
Monday’s practice about the need for more
mental toughness, and that eventually led
to the idea.
“I got to thinking that I want more energy, more mental toughness — I want better
effort,” he said, adding, “I don’t know if it’s
going to work or not.”
Some of the other designated “coaches”
are center Patrick Sutton, running back J.J.
Jackson and defensive tackle Chris Mayes. At
some positions Huesman picked the obvious
choice, such as Jackson or Key because of
their experience. Right tackle Adam Miller,
a three-year starter, was the obvious pick
among the offensive linemen.
“Adam would have been everybody’s
choice, which is why I didn’t go that way,”
Huesman said.
The 10 players who have the jobs at the start
of this initiative will be held accountable for
their positions. Huesman said he’ll keep the
good coaches “and fire the bad coaches.”
On good days it’s easy for everyone to
be up and into what’s happening. The challenge, Jackson said, is pushing yourself and
your teammates on days when you’d rather
be elsewhere.
“I’m still working on that, but we’re going
to get there,” he said. “I think this was a good
thing to implement, and I think it will help.”
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football coach Nick Saban said he received overtures for other jobs after the Crimson Tide’s
second national title in three years. Instead
of bolting, he has received a raise and contract extension worth $5.62 million a year
that he said represents his intention to finish
his career in Tuscaloosa.
“From my standpoint, the acceptance of
this extension represents our commitment
... to the University of Alabama for the rest
of our career,” Saban said. “We made that
decision after the season when other people
were interested.”
The university’s board of trustees approved
a two-year extension for Saban on Monday
that will run through Jan. 31, 2020. He’ll receive
$5.32 million in 2012 with a $50,000 raise next
year and $100,000 annually after that.
Under the deal, he’ll make $5.97 million
in 2019.
Saban will make nearly $45 million over
eight years in base salary ($245,000) and what
Alabama calls “talent fees.” The contract represents a $500,000 raise in talent fees plus
longevity pay and the built-in raises.
He declined to say who made the overtures.
“It doesn’t really matter,” Saban said. “We
wanted to stay at Alabama. We’re staying at
Alabama and we’re not interested in going
anyplace else. We weren’t
interested in going anyplace
else at the end of the season,
so it really doesn’t matter.”
Saban remains among college football’s highest paid
coaches, along with Mack
Brown of Texas ($5.2 million)
and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops
($4.875 million), dwarfing the
Nick Saban
eye-catching eight-year, $32
million deal he received after leaving the NFL’s
Miami Dolphins.
He made at least $5.170 million last year in salary, talent fee and bonuses, including $400,000
for winning the national title. The new deal
represents a $500,000 raise to his talent fee, plus
longevity pay, which totals $5 million over the
duration, and a $5 million life insurance policy.
The Tide are 48-6 over the past four seasons. Saban has restored the program to the
point that a 10-3 title follow-up in 2010 was
viewed as a big disappointment. He has had
Alabama at its best in the biggest games,
particularly the powerhouse defense.
The Tide claimed the 2009 title with a 3721 win over Texas and blanked LSU 21-0 in
New Orleans for the national championship
two years later. Before his arrival, Alabama
hadn’t won a national title since the 1992
season.
The deal states that if he’s fired without
cause he gets the lesser amount between four
years of pay or the balance of his contract.
Saban said he “really wasn’t involved in the
negotiations.”
“To me, this all happened a long time
ago, right after the [LSU] game,” said Saban,
whose agent is Jimmy Sexton. “I really think
they sort of decide what they want to do
and you decide if it’s good enough, and it’s
certainly good enough for me.”
His coaching staff was rewarded, too.
The trustees’ compensation committee
also approved a $100,000 raise for defensive
coordinator Kirby Smart, up to $950,000. New
offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier will
make $590,000. Both have three-year deals.
New outside linebackers coach Lance
Thompson will make $355,000 in a two-year
deal. The assistant coaches will receive 4
percent bonuses for an appearance in the
SEC championship game, 8 percent for a bowl
game, 12 percent for one of the SEC’s top 5
bowl tie-ins and 16 percent for a BCS game.
This and that
The Mocs practiced Monday and, just as in
Saturday’s scrimmage, the offense had the upper
hand, Huesman said. Despite some drops by
the wide receivers, the offense moved the ball

Great ‘complexity’ Vols
slowing BCS talks
By Stephen Hawkins
GRAPEVINE, Texas
— BCS leaders finally are
starting to get into some
specifics in their discussions
about possible — maybe
even likely — changes in
college football’s postseason and how to determine
a champion.
They are finding out just
how tricky the process will
be. And it’s far from being
finished.
“The complexity is phenomenal. The level of details
requires a great deal of
time,” BCS executive director Bill Hancock said Monday after the 11 conference
commissioners and Notre
Dame’s athletic director met
for more than seven hours.
This was the third meeting this year, coming just
more than a month after the
group met over two days at
the same hotel connected to a
terminal at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport.
“There’s no consensus yet
on anything,” SEC commissioner Mike Slive said. “The
first couple of meetings, we
talked a lot about just college
football in general, the regular
season. This time, less of that
and more about how we need
to start getting closer to where
the rubber meets the road.
And there’s lots of different
options, and start to analyze
each one of those and the pros
and cons that go with them.”
MAC commissioner Jon
Steinbrecher said while
progress is being made,
things also are getting more
complicated.
“The deeper you get, the
deeper you’re going to have
to dig,” Steinbrecher said.
While the commissioners have acknowledged a
four-team playoff is among
the options being considered, and there seems to
be considerable talk about
that, Hancock cautioned
that isn’t a done deal.
“There’s a long way to
go and a lot of people still
to hear from,” he said.
The next meeting is
scheduled April 24-26 in
Hollywood, Fla.
The group released a
statement after the meeting that ended with: “We’re
making good progress
toward our self-imposed
goal of making a final recommendation this summer
to our governing bodies.”
The statement also said
Monday’s meeting was
“constructive and highly
detailed.” But it acknowledged that no decisions
were made about the overall structure.

noted how having Hunter’s
“character” back on the practice field provided a boost.
Hunter admitted he used
his right leg to cut on some
slant routes during one-on-one
drills. The key, he said, is not
thinking about the injury or
hesitating to use his left knee.
The Vols expect him to back
to 100 percent when summer
workouts begin in June.
“I hate sitting on the sidelines because it’s so boring,”
he said. “You want to help
your team, but you can’t help
your team. When you’re on
the field, you can do that.
“It was fun because I
was real eager to go out
there and do one-on-ones,
because I’ve been talking
all offseason about what I’m
going to do. I went out there
and caught a couple of balls

real excited.”

for good news, said she’s
amazed how so many athletic programs have been willing to offer time and money

David Crane has been terminated as football coach at
Southeast Whitfield after four seasons.
we were heading in the right
direction,” said Crane, who
had 88 players on his roster
last season compared to 40 in
his first. “Our numbers have
been good the past couple
of seasons, and for the most
part we’ve been competitive.”
Crane, who has a degree
in special education, said
he and his wife can stay in
the Whitfield County school
system as teachers, but he’s
not sure what the immediate
future holds.
“I do want to coach again
and I’ve talked to a few people in the area,” he said. “It’s
a bit different with my wife.
She was already talking about
scaling back with our children getting older. Initially
we were shocked by this, but
in the long run it may turn
out to be a blessing.”
North Murray also recently fired its coach, Larry Cornelius, who started the program and won one game in
two seasons of varsity competition.
North Murray athletic
director Roger Rainey said
the search for Cornelius’
replacement is getting close
and the school has been
pleasantly surprised by the
interest in the job.
“We thought it might be
tough to find a coach at this
time of the year, but we’ve
had over 80 applicants from
14 different states,” Rainey
said. “We want someone
with experience as at least
a position coach or coordinator and someone who is
familiar with the type of athlete we have in the northwest
Georgia area.”
Rainey said the decision
to fire Cornelius was not just
about wins and losses.
“It was a combination of
things,” he said, “but mostly
it was the fact the overall
program wasn’t where we
wanted it to be.”
Rainey said the list of
candidates has been pared
to 10 and he expects a coach
to be chosen by the April 5
Murray County school board
meeting.

The Baylor girls’ tennis
team repeated as champion
of the Decoturf National
Championships this past
weekend in Louisville, Ky.
GPS was the runner-up for
the second straight season, and Baylor’s Samantha
Caswell was named most
valuable player of the rainplagued event.
Harper Caswell was
named to the all-tournament
singles team for the Lady Red
Raiders (3-0), while her sister and McCall Morgan made
the doubles team. Michelle
Fleenor and Emma McCallie
were honored in both singles
and doubles for GPS, which
lost 5-2 to its Chattanooga
rival in the final.
“I think this year’s team is
more mentally tough than we
were last year,” Baylor coach
Dustin Kane said. “We’ve very
talented, but this team is more
composed and able to handle
adversity a lot better.”
Baylor’s top four players, also including Maggie
Crumbliss, are sophomores
in their third year of varsity
experience.
After an easy first-round
win, GPS (3-1) had to play
three matches Saturday, as
its quarterfinal match with
Notre Dame from Arizona
was postponed Friday night.
The Bruisers won 5-0 and
then earned an emotional
victory over top-seeded
Blessed Trinity, which had
beat them in the Buckhead
Rotary last season, before
facing Baylor.

DALTON, Ga. — Technically, David Crane woke
up Monday morning still
the head football coach at
Southeast Whitfield High
School. By night’s end, the
fourth-year coach also knew
that would no longer be the
case.
Crane, who refused to
resign his position in a March
12 meeting with Southeast
principal Karey Williams and
Whitfield County Schools
superintendent Danny Hayes,
was terminated as football
coach at Monday night’s
county school board meeting. The decision caught
Crane off guard, especially
with spring football practice
coming up.
“I was called in and told
they wanted to go in a different direction, and Miss
Williams didn’t elaborate,”
said Crane, whose wife, Elizabeth, resigned as the Southeast girls’ basketball head
coach after being told she
also would not be retained.
“That’s all I really can say
right now.”
Phone calls to Williams
and Southeast athletic director Scott Ramsey were not
returned as of Monday night.
Williams, in her first year as
Southeast principal, said in a
previous interview with the
Dalton Daily Citizen that she
would not comment since it
concerned a personnel matter.
Crane’s teams won 10
games in four years, though
two wins from last season
later were forfeited after the
Raiders were found to have
used an ineligible player. His
2009 team finished 5-5, the
first non-losing season for
the program since 1992. The
Raiders won 15 games in the
10 years before Crane’s hiring.
“It’s a tough job, but I feel

In the coming months,
take advantage of every
opportunity you get to join
some reputable organizations that are well connected either commercially
or socially. At the very least,
you’ll establish some valuable contacts.
ARIES (March
21- April 19):
Although your
fertile imagination will
supply you with many
brilliant ideas, unless you
implement at least some
of them, they’ll be of little
value. Don’t be all talk and
no action.
TAURUS (April
20- May 20):
A better-thanusual day in terms of your
finances is not a signal to
loosen up the purse strings,
especially if you do so
to gratify an extravagant

North would have continued with three clubs, and
four hearts would have

South’s diamond loser
can be discarded on dummy’s clubs. But trumps
must be drawn first. After
leading a heart to dummy’s

heart to his jack or to
his ace?

of “eight ever, nine never.”
This suit is the first half
of that. With eight cards,

South needs hearts to
be 3-2, and the queen will
be in the three-card holding 60 percent of the time

Simple measures help
treat urinary incontinence
DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a middle-aged woman
with urinary incontinence. Is there any way to treat
this problem without drugs or surgery?
DEAR READER: I’m
glad you asked. Surveys
of women
across the
country
indicate
that millions have
urinary
incontinence — the
Dr. K
inability to
Dr. Anthony
Komaroff
keep from
sometimes
leaking urine.
The reason I’m glad you
asked is that those same
surveys indicate that more
than half the women with
this problem never seek
care for it. That’s a shame,
because there is much that
can be done to fix it. There
are several strategies you
can try before considering
medications or surgery.
Start with bladder retraining. This is a program of urinating on schedule. It helps
you to gradually increase
the amount of urine you can
comfortably hold.
To begin bladder retraining, first keep track for a day
or two of the times of day
you urinate or leak urine.
Calculate how long, on
average, you wait between
bathroom visits during the
day, and then add 15 minutes. For example, suppose
you calculate that you go to
the bathroom about once
every hour. Adding 15 minutes brings you to 1 hour and
15 minutes.
When you start training,
empty your bladder first
thing in the morning and
not again until the interval
you’ve set — 1 hour and
15 minutes. You may feel
uncomfortable as the end
of that first hour approach-
es. However, do your best
to hold off urinating until
1 hour and 15 minutes have
elapsed. Keep up that practice: Wait another hour and
15 minutes before you urinate again. Each time you
do this, you should feel that
it is a little easier.
Once you’re comfortable
for the whole hour and 15
minutes, then increase the
interval by 15 minutes. Again,
it may take a while, but you’ll
get comfortable with the longer interval. Once you are,
push out the time between
urinations again by another
15 minutes. And so on. Over
time, you should be able to
wait much longer.
I also recommend drinking less fluid. For some
people, this is all it takes to
bring incontinence under
control. (But don’t hesitate
to drink water if you are
thirsty because you’re hot
or you’ve exercised.)
Pelvic floor exercises
may also help. These exercises, also called Kegels,
strengthen the pelvic floor
muscles that help maintain
continence.
To perform a Kegel, pretend to tighten your vagina around a tampon. You
should feel the contraction
more in the back than the
front. Practice both short
contractions and releases
(lasting 1 to 2 seconds)
and longer ones. Gradually
increase the strength of the
contraction and hold it at
your maximum tightness for
up to 10 seconds.
You can use these exercises strategically. Tighten
your pelvic floor muscles
just before coughing, laughing or whatever usually
causes urine leakage.

Make the Bible part of your life
Q: I picked up our old family Bible the other
day and started reading it (which I’d never done
before), but to be honest I didn’t get much out of
it. Is the Bible mainly for preachers and people like

LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Lawrence already proved
in 2010’s “Winter’s Bone”
that she could play a girl
with strength, wisdom and
survival instincts beyond her
years. Her performance as
an Ozarks teenager searching for her father earned her
an Oscar nomination and put
her on the map.
It also made her the ideal
choice to play Katniss Everdeen, the fiercely independent, 16-year-old heroine of
“The Hunger Games,” which
opened last weekend as the
third highest domestic film
opening on record. Here’s a
look at five other tough teenage characters — if you’re not
too intimidated to take them
on, that is.
Daniel Radcliffe in the
“Harry Potter” movies: He defeats pure evil.
What more do you need?
Sure, he starts out as a slightly nerdy, insecure 11-year-old,
living a miserable life underneath the stairs at his aunt and
uncle’s house, unaware of the
greatness that dwells within
him. But by the time he hits
his teenage years, he’s mastering spells and brandishing his wand with purpose
and ferocity. He’s the king of
Hogwarts. Professors admire
him. Friends are loyal to him.
Chicks dig him. Everyone
knows his name — including
Lord Voldemort, who could
be using his destructive powers in myriad other ways, but
instead chooses to focus them
on our young hero. And he
probably wishes he hadn’t.
Harry thinks on his feet and
conquers every challenge
but still remains a good kid
at heart.

Saoirse Ronan in
“Hanna” (2011): Ronan
reteams with Joe Wright,
who directed her to an Oscar
nomination for “Atonement,”
in a role that could not be
more different, or more challenging. She stars as the title
character, a blonde-haired,
blue-eyed, 16-year-old killing machine. Living with her
father (Eric Bana) in a rustic
cabin in a remote and unforgiving forest just below the
Arctic Circle, she learns to
hunt, fight and speak in various languages. Their handto-hand combat scenes are
quick, intense, visceral —
until one day she tells him,
“I’m ready.” Upon embarking on the journey that’s her
destiny, she gets captured by
government agents who think
she’s a shy and sheltered little
girl. But, uh ... they’re wrong.
Even Cate Blanchett in fierce
Prada heels can’t stop her.

“True Grit” (2010):

made her astonishingly selfassured film debut as Mattie
Ross, the 19th-century pioneer girl who sets the story’s
action in motion, and earned
an Oscar nomination for best
supporting actress in the process. She was only 13 when
she shot the movie, and to
say she holds her own with
Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon,
Josh Brolin and the rest of
the cast would be an understatement. She dominates the
Coen brothers’ film — carries
it, practically — handling the
difficult language as well as
the physical challenges with
equal aplomb.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in “Brick” (2005):
I must admit I did not
love this movie, a 1930s-style
film noir set in a contemporary Southern California high
school, when it first came
out. I admired its daring but
found it too self-conscious
... maybe I should revisit it.
Still, I always loved GordonLevitt’s performance as Brendan, a teenage loner who’s
investigating the murder of
one of his classmates. In the
tradition of classic Humphrey
Bogart characters, Brendan’s
looks in no way indicate what
he’s capable of doing as he
digs closer to the dangerous
truth. He’s slight, fine-featured
and messy-haired, perennially dressed in a simple, gray
hooded sweat shirt. But he’s
quick-witted and he can take
a punch (the frequency with
which he gets his butt kicked
is comical), all of which he’s

Spicoli to me. Spicoli totally

Mr. Hand’s class — ‘cause
there’s nothing wrong with

— trashes a sports car and
turns it into a positive for the
school’s football team, has fun
at all the joiner activities like
dances and games but still
remains blissfully, obliviously
cool and above the fray. Of
course, he’s high the entire
time — and we would never
condone drug use here in
the Five Most space — but
Spicoli does graduate. And
he saves Brooke Shields from

Sure you can go home again after college
By Sara Barbour
Los Angeles Times
The week before my 23rd
birthday it hit me. “You know,”
I said casually to my mom as
we drove into town to get
pedicures, “I don’t think I’ve
hung out with anyone my age
in over a month.”
It was true. Almost a year
out of college and here I was,
living at home and socializing
decades above my age group.
I shopped for groceries and
made dinner every night. I
watched “The Daily Show”
with my mom and went to a
Wilco concert with my dad.
I took my grandma to movies nominated for best picture
and, for the first (and hopefully only) time in my life, when
the Academy Awards rolled
around, I’d seen them all.
Strangest of all, I was happy.
After six months on a biodynamic farm with a rampant
mouse problem and a refrigerator that didn’t close, my
old bedroom felt like a luxury.
After four years of dorm living in New York City, with fire
alarms that wrenched us from
bed at 2:30 a.m., cursing whatever drunk sophomore had
pulled the emergency lever
“for fun,” I appreciated the
quiet. I loved having a house to
myself, 9 to 5. I loved hosting
elaborate meals for my parents’ friends, the overworked
adults sighing with relief into
their glasses of wine.
Orange County Register
Is it so wrong, I wondered, to actually like living
at home?
It wasn’t that I’d given
up on starting my own life.
Every morning at 7 I dutifully staked out my spot at the
kitchen table, sifting through
job postings and honing my
resume. The optimism with
which I began my job search
was — to my now appropriately jaded self — staggering.
My applications ran the gamut
from Green For All to Google.
I checked my Gmail constantly, confident in my ability to
make an impression.
I heard back from no one.
Slowly it began to dawn
on me that living at home
was, perhaps, going to be a
long-term thing. The “quick
stopover” fantasy I’d indulged
over the holidays was harder
to maintain when my sister
went back to school. Instead
of brightly telling people I’d
be home for “maybe a couple more weeks,” I mumbled
incoherently and changed the
subject.
And then, strangely, I started to like living at home. I kept
up the applications, but I also
began working part-time for a
local filmmaker. I started volunteering at the public radio
station that had become my
closest companion. I cooked,
I flossed daily, I organized
my parents’ CDs. And when
no one else was home (on
average, six to eight hours a
day) I cranked up the stereo
and listened to a song called
“Happiness” on repeat.
After a vibrant college life,
it’s hard to move home without feeling at least a twinge
of failure. It’s demoralizing
to offer yourself up — all the
college prep, the hours of
internships, the years spent
working for free — and come
away not just rejected but
unacknowledged. Under my
parents’ roof once again, the
benefits were obvious (food,
rent-free housing, a washing
machine that worked), but so
were the difficulties.
Miles from the nearest big
city and car-less, I didn’t just
feel stranded, I often actually
was. The stigma of jobless-
ness greeted me everywhere,
from newly employed peers
to a local J. Crew clerk. And
then there were the moments
when I felt like a teenager all
over again: Arriving home
late from my first dinner out
on a date in weeks, I was summoned to my parents’ room
and greeted with reproachful
looks.
My generation was seared
with the terrorizing ultimatum that come graduation
we’d better be hired because
financial independence was
the ultimate predictor of success. Unfortunately, that’s not
an automatic option, but my
sense of self-worth is deepened through providing for
my family in the ways I can
— cooking, cleaning, getting the car washed — while
gratefully acknowledging
their willingness to provide
for me.
So here’s my advice to
those in the class of 2012 who
fear the great Move Home:
Be thankful you have one.
Don’t stop your search for the
job or opportunity that will
get you into that first apartment, but appreciate your
family and the ways you can
help them. There are worse
(if less embarrassing) things
than having to lean on a social
structure that is meant to provide support. And it wouldn’t
hurt to start being nice to
Mom and Dad.

At the center is a London
newspaper’s cynical use of
voicemail-hacking to prolong
a story about a kidnapping
— in the process, giving false
hope to the young victim’s
family. In many ways, these
transgressions seem lifted
from fiction, specifically the
2003 BBC miniseries “State of
Play” and Billy Wilder’s 1951
satire “Ace in the Hole.”
But combine the ease of
accessing cellphone conversations with the ubiquity
of the phones’ use, and you
have the makings of a tabloid
dictatorship, a place where
citizens are subject to blackmail and humiliation at the
hands of the vengeful, sleazy
and capricious. Imagine TMZ
merging with the KGB and
you’re getting close.
While some have cheered
at Murdoch’s humiliation, this
story transcends his press
empire. As long as people
seem more addicted to gossip than standing up for their
rights (and the rights of others), such practices will flourish.

Stylist George Kotsiopoulos says all the color infuses
fun into fashion without
making women victims of
a frivolous trend, but he
agrees it’s not for shrinking
violets. “I don’t know that

— OK, maybe yellow jeans,
a fuchsia top and orange

run the risk of looking like a
clown in all of this, but it can
also be very chic. You can be

He adds, “This gives you

It’s a way to be casual with a
little something extra.”

women haven’t been eager
to part with them, says
Dylan George’s Guez, and
then there are the committed fans of other cuts. Once
they know what they like,
there’s often no urgency to
try something new. “I wish I
could say that regular denim
was blowing out, but I can’t.
But what is? Color and patterns — lace, plaid, floral
prints.”
And, as the weather
warms, shoppers will have a
chance to buy into this trend
all over again in shorts, Guez
adds.
Denim can be a “blank
canvas” that can evolve
each season as long as the
industry thinks out of the
box, says Jeff Lubell, CEO of
True Religion. When there’s
not enough variety, interest
wanes. “I like to do something that is different than
the pack. I like a lot of novelty. I believe in color, not
necessarily only in denim,
but in cargos and khakis.”
Shoppers are ready, even
hungry, for it all, he says.
There certainly has been
time to adjust the collective eye since these bright
hues have been on the bottoms of models, editors and
fashion insiders for a year
or so. There was a “fashion
moment” last September
during New York Fashion Week where every top
retailer, editor and stylist
seemed to get the memo
to wear yellow jeans in the
front row.
Still, Guez says he would
like to see more orange out
there, and red gives off the
sexiest vibe. Yellow comes
off as flirty, he says. Meanwhile, Kate Upton, Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit’s cover
model this year, will start
appearing in his company’s
ads in multishade “watercolor” jeans.
Pink is one of the most
popular pant shades based

Ward reports. She says it
complements other hot

pastel shades.

is on the feet. A neutral ballet flat or wedge sandal can

Violinist
CLAIM TO FAME
Center for Creative Arts,
MacKenzie sits in the firstviolin section of the high
school orchestra. She is also
the principal second violinist of the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera’s Youth Philharmonic.
MacKenzie said she felt
drawn to the violin because
of its ability to convey emotion. A desire to achieve that
level of emotionality has
pushed her to understand the
composer’s intent when she
tackles a new piece.
“Playing an instrument,
in general, especially for
me, lets you connect with
your emotions on a different level,” she explained.
“Sometimes, I play a scale,
and it hits me as this big,
emotional thing.”
MacKenzie has looked
for opportunities to improve
her playing. Last summer
she attended the Southeast
Chamber Music Institute
at Tennessee Tech University.
While there, she received
word that she would be leading the Youth Philharmonic’s
second-violin section this
year.
MacKenzie said she considers the position, and the
accompanying responsibility
of coordinating her section
mates, as an honor greater
than playing more complicated parts as a first violinist.
Even after a spot opened
up for MacKenzie to move
up the ranks she said opted
to retain her position as a
principal.
Philharmonic conductor
Sandy Morris said MacKenzie’s passion and insightful suggestions have proven
she is a good candidate for a
leadership role.
“It has been very good
experience for her because
I’m sure she will lead other
sections in the future,” she
said. “She brings a lot to the
table.”
Even after MacKenzie’s
relatively short period on
the instrument, her mother,
Karen Hammond, said she
sees no reason her daughter can’t achieve her dream
of attending The Juilliard
School in New York.
Hammond said she is
inspired by MacKenzie’s
Roberts
mileage and the exit number. Those Roberts boys have
their heads on straight.
But wait! Peyton’s behavior gets even more bizarre.
He was offered a lifetime
supply of MoonPies, and
turned it down!
MoonPies have been made
here since Noah stepped off
the boat, and there’s nothing
more delicious on the planet.
I like them unadorned with
coffee in the morning or after
dinner with a scoop of ice
cream (give the ice cream
time to seep in).
Even country singers
know and extol the glories
of MoonPies. One of the
most famous country songs
was “Give Me an RC Cola
and a MoonPie and Play
Maple of the Hill.” I believe
it was Lonzo and Oscar
who sung that winsome little ditty. It’s hard for me to
accept that Peyton is not as
smart as Lonzo and Oscar.
Lonzo doesn’t even have
front teeth, and he’s never
been hit by a 350-pound NFL
tackle.
Peyton surely knows

Rainbow of denim
NEW YORK — Your
attention, please: One of the
easiest ways to spruce up
your wardrobe this spring
is with a splash of color. It
doesn’t have to go on your
lips or over your shoulder
— and not across your chest,
either. This season, the place
for bold color is on the bottom.
Colored denim and, by
extension, every other kind
of pants and trousers in hues
as bright as the rainbow are
a key look in stores at every
end of the shopping spectrum. Part of the pervasiveness is that it’s pretty democratic: You find the shape
and silhouette that you like
best and find the shade that
best complements your skin
tone. Swap out blue or khaki
and, voila, you’re on trend.
Think of it as you would
a fresh coat of paint.
“You can’t deny what’s
going on with color,” says
Daniel Guez, CEO and creative director of the upscale
denim label Dylan George.
“Everyone can participate
in this.”
Yes, bright yellow bottoms might seem a little
intimidating at first, says
Tana Ward, American
Eagle’s chief merchandising
officer, but adds: “We see
colored bottoms as easy to
wear, believe it or not.”
Reverse whatever outfit
you would have worn before,
she suggests: Instead of
jeans and a bold pink or red
top, put the color on the bottom and pair it with a denim
chambray shirt — maybe
even a Western style — or
go for a little femininity with
a white lace tank top peeking
out the top of a crisp white
or blue button-down. You’re
also likely to find an easy
transition into crocheted or
other loose-weave sweaters
in natural, neutral colors,
too, Ward says.
However, she adds, while
there are many user-friendly
ways to wear colored pants,
don’t expect any of them
to go unnoticed. Turning
a few heads is the point,
Ward says, and eventually
you’ll gain the confidence to
put the bright top with the
bright bottom. “Being bold
is very modern ... and the
most modern way to do this
is color on color. Wear the
unexpected — a red bottom,

lived in Meridian and seeing several trays of Archie
cookies, and she feels sure
the folks at McKee would
have come up with a Little

physiognomy. The McKees
have always known what

Peyton is as hot a cookie as
anyone has ever got (may
not be grammatically correct but it rhymes, and
that’s all a songwriter cares
about).

repent on national television.
No, to tell the truth, I
appreciate the man for what
he did for Tennessee football. I love him, and I am still
squalling like a run-over dog
that he will not be a Titan.
I shall continue to maintain
that he has a gourd problem.
