Crossroads looms for Westside Purpose Built officials to meet today with residents, mayor By Yolanda Putman Staff Writer Westside residents last week descended on City Hall on foot and in wheelchairs to protest a proposal for community revitalization that would destroy more public housing. Today they’ll find out if their voices matter. Purpose Built, the Atlanta-based nonprofit specializing in community revitalization, will meet today with Westside residents, officials with the Chattanooga Housing Authority and Mayor Ron Littlefield. “We want the housing authority to put a stop to the demolition of public housing and the displacement of residents before this goes any further,” said Roxann Larson, president of the Dogwood Manor Resident Council and Westside resident. The Purpose Built issue has been simmering for months, but new developments in the last few days suggest that today’s meeting could be pivotal: ■ City Councilman Andraé McGary told residents Thursday that CHA Executive Director Betsy McCright and the housing authority are not their enemy and that, unless some action is taken, Westside public housing eventually will See WESTSIDE, Page A7 Staff Photo by Tim Barber HELP FOR HAITI TWO CHATTANOOGA MEN TRY TO BRING THEIR VISION TO LIFE I-24 link to Walker seen from sales tax By Tim Omarzu Staff Writer Walker County Sole Commissioner Bebe Heiskell hopes a majority of county voters — and those around Georgia — will support a 1-cent, 10-year statewide transportation special purpose local option sales tax when it’s on the ballot July 31.

He was 93. METRO/ REGION ■ JAIL GARDEN Bledsoe County Sheriff Jimmy Morris, a lifelong farmer, hopes to help his jail inmates learn to feed themselves and appreciate the land by cultivating the jail’s firstever garden. Last week, a group of inmates worked in a freshly plowed, 2-acre plot to get the garden growing. ■ BUSINESS FOR VETERANS UTC is taking applications for a new, free program that aims to teach military veterans how to start a successful business. Dr. Robert Dooley, dean of the College of Business, said veterans’ skills also apply to running their own business. “It’s the fact they come out of an environment that’s mission-oriented, they follow through on a task and have a strong desire to achieve goals,” Dooley said. ■ COOK COLUMN It’s like we’ve elected Tommy Hilfiger. The politics of fashion have entered the state House, where Nashville legislators passed with little dissent the “We Don’t Want To See Your Underwear” bill, outlawing sagging pants and visible sports bras in schools. The governor — presumably wearing a coat and tie — probably will sign the bill in the weeks to come. ■ GET INVOLVED Tennessee is among a few states that have enacted or are considering legislation that aims to spur parents to get EARLY EMAIL Start your day with the latest news.

The Hollywood star’s presence, and the accompanying media hubbub, is bound to affect the proceedings, which begin today. That’s when presiding Judge Charles Burns plans to start questioning would-be jurors one by one, trying to weed out anyone who could be swayed by Hudson’s celebrity status. Hudson is expected to be at the trial every day once testimony begins, court officials say, and she’s on the 300-name list of witnesses who could testify. While the judge will warn prospective jurors to avoid watching TV coverage of the trial, they may see Hudson on “American Idol” on Thursday. Legal experts widely agree on the No. 1 challenge at trials involving megastars: It’s identifying 12 jurors able and willing to assess guilt solely on what they hear in court. Hudson will need to refrain from overt displays of emotion as potentially starstruck jurors’ eyes dart back at her, said Gerald Uelmen, a defense attorney at O.J. Simpson’s murder trial. “The risk is that jurors may be watching her rather than testifying witnesses, and they could be influenced by how she reacts,” he said. “She would be well advised not to engage in any facial expressions or outbursts. That could be grounds for a mistrial.” Queen grants Camilla new honor LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II has appointed the Duchess of Cornwall to the highest Jennifer Hudson reacts backstage after winning best supporting actress for her work in “Dreamgirls” during the 79th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. female rank in the Royal Victorian Order, Buckingham Palace said today. The announcement that Camilla has been made a Dame Grand Cross comes on the day of her seventh wedding anniversary with Prince Charles, the queen’s son. Awards under the Royal Victorian Order, which was founded in 1896 by Queen Victoria, are given by the queen to people who have served her or the monarchy in a personal way. They are bestowed independently of the prime minister’s office. Once vilified as the old flame who poisoned Charles’ first marriage to Princess Diana, Camilla has become an integral member of the royal family since she married the prince on April 9, 2005 — eight In this image released by Lionsgate, Jennifer Lawrence portrays Katniss Everdeen, left, and Liam Hemsworth portrays Gale Hawthorne in a scene from “The Hunger Games.” years after Diana’s death. Since the couple’s civil ceremony at the Guildhall in Windsor, the British public has warmed to Camilla, and the 64-year-old has carried out hundreds of royal engagements and taken on a wide range of patronages. ‘Hunger Games’ scores Easter feast Britain’s Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, center, holds a sweater from actress Sofie Grabol, left, as Danish Crown Princess Mary looks on in Lynge, Denmark, March 27. LOS ANGELES — Film fans are still forking over for “The Hunger Games,” which took in $33.5 million to lead the box office for a third-straight weekend. According to studio estimates Sunday, Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games” raised its domestic total to $302.8 million. It easily out-earned two returning favorites, Universal’s “American Pie” sequel “American Reunion” and a 3-D version of the blockbuster “Titanic,” released domestically by Paramount and overseas by 20th Century Fox. Both newcomers opened solidly, though. “American Reunion” pulled in $21.5 million, the lowest haul since the 1999 original but still a decent return for a comedy franchise whose last big-screen chapter came nine years ago. “Titanic” in 3-D reeled in $17.4 million over the weekend, raising its domestic take to $25.7 million since opening Wednesday. That lifts the lifetime domestic gross of James Cameron’s mega-hit to $626.5 million. Starring Jennifer Lawrence as a teen forced to fight other youths in a televised death match, “The Hunger Games” now has topped the domestic gross of each of the “Twilight” movies and all but the first and last of the “Harry Potter” films. “The Hunger Games” has helped studios race to a record box-office pace, with domestic revenues for the year now at $2.8 billion, up 20 percent from 2011’s, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “We’re heading into summer with a tremendous amount of momentum, led obviously by ‘Hunger Games,”’ said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “Just about everything seems to be working.” The first big-screen “American Pie” sequel since 2003’s “American Wedding,” “American Reunion” brings back all key cast members from the 1999 gross-out hit, including Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari and Tara Reid.

He interrogated them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them. His reputation was so fearsome that it was often said that the scariest words in the English language were “Mike Wallace is here to see you.” Wallace, whose pitiless, prosecutorial style transformed television journalism and made “60 Minutes” compulsively watchable, died Saturday night at a care facility in New Canaan, Conn., where he had lived in recent years, CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco said. He was 93. Until he was slowed by heart surgery as he neared his 90th birthday in 2008, Wallace continued making news, doing “60 Minutes” interviews with such subjects as Jack Kevorkian and Roger Clemens. He had promised to still do occasional reports when he announced his retirement as a correspondent in 2006. Wallace, whose career spanned 60 years, said then that he had long vowed to retire “when my toes turn up” and “they’re just beginning to curl a trifle. ... It’s become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren’t quite what they used to be.” Among his later contributions, after bowing out as a regular, was a 2007 profile of GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, and an interview with Kevorkian, the assisted suicide doctor released from prison in 2007 who died last year. In December 2007, Wallace landed the first interview with Clemens after the star pitcher was implicated in the Mitchell report on performance enhancing drugs in baseball. The interview, in which Clemens maintained his innocence, was broadcast in early 2008. Wallace was the first man hired when late CBS news producer Don Hewitt put together the staff of “60 Minutes” at its inception in 1968. The show wasn’t a hit at first, but it worked its way up to the top 10 in the 1977-78 season and remained there, season after season, with Wallace as one of its mainstays. Among “Sometimes you’ll give anything just to make it stop!”... says Dr. Santiago Rodriguez about digestive distress. He ought to know. After all, he’s a world-renowned expert on medicinal botany. “You can see the tortured look on people’s faces as they talk about the scorching burn of stomach acid. Or being so constipated you almost pass out from the pain.” And there’s nothing worse than being “kept prisoner to your bathroom” because of chronic diarrhea. It’s a nightmare for people who suffer from it. But now, your stomach problems could be over. And the secret is in the healing aloe plant. The Associated Press Mike Wallace, longtime CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent, died Saturday. other things, it proved there could be big profits in TV journalism. He was known as one who did his homework, spending hours preparing for interviews, and alongside the exposes, “60 Minutes” featured insightful talks with celebrities and world leaders. He was equally tough on public and private behavior. In 1973, with the Watergate scandal growing, he sat with top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman and read a long list of alleged crimes, from money laundering to obstructing justice. “All of this,” Wallace noted, “by the law and order administration of Richard Nixon.” The surly Ehrlichman could only respond: “Is there a question in there somewhere?” Wallace maintained a hectic pace after CBS waived its long-standing rule requiring broadcasters to retire at 65. In early 1999, at age 80, he added another line to his resume by appearing on the network’s spinoff, “60 Minutes II.” Wallace was born Myron Wallace on May 9, 1918, in Brookline, Mass. He began his news career in Chicago in the 1940s, first as radio news writer for the Chicago Sun and then as reporter for WMAQ. He started at CBS in 1951. Wallace amassed 21 Emmy awards during his career, as well as five DuPont-Columbia journalism and five Peabody awards. In all, his television career spanned six decades, much of it spent at CBS. In 1949, he appeared as Myron Wallace in a show called “Majority Rules.” In the early 1950s, he was an announcer and game show host for programs such as “What’s in a Word?” He also found time to act in a 1954 Broadway play, “Reclining Figure,” directed by Abe Burrows. In the mid-1950s came his smoke-wreathed “Night Beat,” a series of one-on-one interviews with everyone from an elderly Frank Lloyd Wright to a young Henry Kissinger that began on local TV in New York and then appeared on the ABC network. It was the show that first brought Wallace fame as a hard-boiled interviewer, a “Mike Malice” who rarely gave his subjects any slack. After holding a variety of news and entertainment jobs, including serving as advertising pitchman for a cigarette brand, Wallace became a fulltime newsman for CBS in 1963. He said it was the death of his 19-year-old son, Peter, in an accident in 1962 that made him decide to stick to serious journalism from then on. (Another son, Chris, followed his father and became a broadcast journalist, most recently as a Fox News Channel anchor.) Wallace had a short stint reporting from Vietnam, and took a sock in the jaw while covering the tumultuous 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. But he didn’t fit the stereotype of the Eastern liberal journalist. He was a close friend of the Reagans and was once offered the job of Richard Nixon’s press secretary. He called his politics moderate. He was married four times. FINALLY, Hixson Has Its Own TRUE GOLD STORE U.S. Standard Gold Buyers Gold & Silver is Our Only Business. We Do It Better Than Anyone!

Nahum Faubert, a Haiti native who survived the 2010 earthquake and came to Chattanooga afterward to finish his studies at Tennessee Temple University, is Mauk’s partner in the ministry. The 7.0-magnitude earthquake of 2010 flattened much of the country’s infrastructure and killed more than 200,000 people. More than two years later, thousands of displaced people still live in temporary camps across the Caribbean country. For Faubert, the need and the poverty hit close to home. “I see the need, and I can’t pretend it doesn’t exist,” he said in a recent interview in Chattanooga. “I grew up in a generation where you are told to follow your dreams, but some of my friends are now dead, some are still struggling. How can I forget that? “Youth are the promise of a good future [in Haiti], and they are ready to lead; they just need someone to show them the way,” he said. ■■■ While in Haiti, Mauk and Faubert talked with leaders of Baptist Calvary Church of Haiti and government officials about their foundation. At the end of the oneweek trip, the pair realized it would cost a lot of money and time to build their own vocational school, as they wanted. They needed a much quicker start. The decided to offer sponsorships so youths can stay in school, learn skills and help rebuild their country while putting money in their pockets. There are many contractors and foreign workers in Haiti because not enough Haitians are qualified for the work, they said. Rebuilding is challenge enough, but within months of the earthquake, a cholera outbreak struck. It is one of the largest epidemics of the disease in modern history to affect a single country. As of midDecember 2011, Haiti had reported more than 520,000 cases of the acute intestinal infection and close to 7,000 deaths, according to the United Nations. But the buildings and the people tell two different stories. “If I look at the structures, it is like nothing much has changed. But if I look at the people, is like [the earthquake is] part of the past,” IF YOU GO ■ What: Share the Vision — Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti ■ When: 6-8:30 p.m. April 19 ■ Where: Bessie Smith Cultural Center, 200 E.

Parts of Port-au-Prince still need extensive reconstruction. Thirteen of the 17 churches Faubert is associated with are damaged, and a couple were destroyed. But progress is happening in some regions, said Charles Sternbergh, co-founder of the Chattanooga-based Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti. The organization works in Leogane, where there are visible improvements, he said. “Most of the houses that had fallen down have been demolished and rubble picked up,” he said. “A year ago there was still piles of rubble on the streets.” But many people are still jobless, and poverty and sanitation problems are rife. “I’m not saying everything Surfside Beach authorities didn’t return calls seeking information Sunday. It wasn’t clear if arrests were made. Initial reports had three injured in addition to the fatality. But Surfside Police Chief Gary Phillips told The (Brazoria County) Facts newspaper that only two others suffered gunshot wounds. With that road, traffic could bypass Rossville Boulevard, she said. A truck on I-24 could take the new highway to Battlefield Parkway, then head east to U.S. 27, the main north-south route in the county. “It’s a long-range plan which never got off the ground — but it should,” Heiskell said. “Walker County is the county around here that doesn’t have an interstate. We’d like to correct that.” The project would take about a decade to complete, she said. Heiskell said the I-24 connector could help Walker attract employers. For example, a business that made parts for Volkswagen’s assembly plant in Chattanooga might be more inclined to set up shop in Walker County if the connector is built. A total of 10 TSPLOST projects are proposed in Walker, including roughly $154,000 for new sidewalks in Chickamauga, $1.4 million to take a dangerous curve out of Johnson Road between Mission Ridge and Gravitt roads, and $1.7 million to replace the Vulcan Road bridge near Vulcan Drive on Lookout Mountain. While no project is earmarked for the LaFayette area, Mayor H. Neal Florence still endorses the tax. He said one-quarter of the money will go to communities for discretionary spending. “We still would get some spillover funds that would be allotted to each community,” Florence said. “We have a is rosy,” said Sternbergh. “But going to do something, it has if you look at the big picture, to be long-term.” I think things are better.” And Melody, his wife, supports him. ■■■ “I knew from hearing About half of Haitian him talk about it that it was children go to elementary heavy on his heart,” she said. school, but fewer than one “You have to get on board or in five goes on to second- get mad.

Despite the earmarks, Fort Oglethorpe Mayor Lynn Long isn’t sold on the proposed 1cent tax. “I don’t like sales tax. It’s a regressive tax. It sounds fair, but it’s not,” Long said. He also worries that, if Georgia’s sales tax goes up, Tennessee residents will have less reason to shop in North Georgia. The combined state and local sales tax ranges from 9.25 percent to 9.75 percent in Tennessee, he said, while the combined is a big part of why they are doing this. “I’m Christian,” said Faubert, who was a youth pastor in Haiti and leads Bible study groups here. “If I truly believe what the Bible says, how can I come here, enjoy myself and forget everything else?

Kin g Bo ulev ard Exit 180 A 34253840 It’s not just March. “It’s been ongoing for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Meteorologists say an unusual confluence of several weather patterns, including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be blamed on global warming, Couch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of man-made climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. It’s important to note that this unusual winter heat is mostly a North America phenomenon. Much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere has been cold, said NOAA meteorologist Martin Hoerling. The first quarter of 2012 broke the January-March record by 1.4 degrees. Usually records are broken by just one- or two-tenths of a degree. U.S. temperature records date to 1895. temperature records, and another 7,517 broke records for night-time heat. Combined, that’s more high temperature records broken in one month than ever before, Crouch said. “When you look at what’s happened in March this year, it’s beyond unbelievable,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver. They seem to be falling far more often because of global warming, said NASA top climate scientist James Hansen. In a paper he submitted to the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and posted on a physics research archive, Hansen shows that heat extremes aren’t just increasing but happening far more often than scientists thought. What used to be a 1-in-400 hot temperature record is now a 1 in 10 occurrence, essentially 40 times more likely, said Hansen. The warmth in March is an ideal illustration of this, said Hansen, who also has become an activist in fighting fossil fuels. Weaver reviewed the Hansen paper and called it “one of the most stunning examples of evidence of global warming.” MyAffordableRoof.com ........................................... 423.584.5600 With three collections to choose, from we’re sure you’ll find the mattress that’s perfect or you at MurMaid Mattress.

The U.S. winter of 2010-2011 was slightly cooler than normal and one of the snowiest in recent years, but after that things started heating up. The summer of 2011 was the second warmest summer on record. The winter that just ended, which in some places was called the year without winter, was the fourth warmest on record. Since last April, it’s been the hottest 12-month stretch on record, Crouch said. But the month where the warmth turned especially weird was March. Normally, March averages 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time — in January 2006 — was the country as a whole that much hotter than normal for an entire month. The “icebox of America,” International Falls, Minn., saw temperatures in the 70s for five days in March, and there were only three days of below zero temperatures all month.

It would hurt like an “abscess” and go down my right leg to my ankle. It would hurt whenever I was sitting or standing so I would have to switch every few minutes. I didn’t want to have surgery so I tried decompression. I was hoping to have less pain and now I have no pain! If you hurt, don’t wait as long as I did to get help. I’ve never been to an office where I’ve been treated as wonderfully as I have by Dr. Wall and his staff. Don’t wait. Go! Brenda Lee – Receptionist – Apison, TN Before I came to see Dr. Wall I was completely at my end. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t plan anything. It even hurt to talk. I had been suffering from a burning, tingling, knifelike back pain every day for several years. I tried prescription medication, (9-10 pills a day), chiropractic, physical therapy and had five epidurals. After having decompression therapy I have little to no pain! I can now do the things that I want and need to do. I’ve gotten my life back. Sally Hookey-Housewife – South Pittsburg, TN Decompression therapy is the best thing I’ve ever done! I used to have constant low back and hip pain. My left leg and toes were numb. I couldn’t sleep or even bend over to pick anything up off the floor. My husband was bedridden and I was afraid that I couldn’t take care of him. I had an MRI, epidurals and the surgeon recommended back surgery for my herniated disc. Now I have NO PAIN! Thank you Dr. Wall. The staff is great and they back the best cookies for you! Ruby Phillips – Retired – Whitewell, TN I was having severe neck and left arm pain. I could barely move my arm. I had an MRI which showed that I had a herniated disc in my neck. Then I was sent to the neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon in Dalton. My only options were epidurals or surgery. I wanted to try decompression first. Boy, am I glad I did! My neck pain is gone and I can now use my arm without pain. I went to a followup appointment with my orthopedic surgeon in Dalton and he told me to “keep doing what I’m doing”. They are a great bunch of people and you’ll be glad you went.

I’ll just go to my doctor and he will take care of me. He will know what to do. But then something very odd happens to you. You discover your primary care physician, who in the past has done an excellent job treating your other conditions, is not able to get rid of your pain, even with your prescription for Soma muscle relaxers, oxycodone, neurontin, or any other of the various prescribed medications. You then take the drugs soon to feel strangely like you’re not altogether “there” or you immediately feel sick, feel nausea and vomit the drugs as fast as you swallowed them. When you get sick of that (pardon the pun! I couldn’t resist), you go back to your doctor looking for another more appealing treatment. This time it’s physical therapy. The thing you already can’t do!! You already can’t bend over, twist, lift things, and now they want you to do more of it with a bunch of other back pain sufferers! Gimme a break.

Police: Shootings racial revenge The Associated Press TULSA, Okla. — Two men were arrested Sunday in a shooting rampage that left three people dead and terrorized Tulsa’s black community, and police said one of the suspects may have been trying to avenge his father’s shooting two years ago by a black man. Police identified both suspects as white, while all five victims in the rampage early Friday were black. Police and the FBI said it appears the attacks in Tulsa’s predominantly black north side were racially motivated. Police spokesman Jason Willingham said that investigators are considering many possible motives but that based on messages posted on Facebook, revenge appeared to be a factor. The FBI special agent in charge of Oklahoma says it’s too early, however, to talk about the shooting being hate crimes. The Associated Press This photo combo provided by the Tulsa Police Department shows Jake England, left, and Alvin Watts, who will be charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill. In a Thursday update on Facebook that appeared to have been written by 19-yearold Jake England, he angrily blamed his father’s death on a black man and used a racial slur. He said Thursday was the second anniversary of his father’s death. “It’s hard not to go off,” given the anniversary and the death of his fiancee earlier this year, he wrote. A family friend, Susan Sevenstar, told The Associated Press that England’s fiancee killed herself in January. “It’s apparent from the posting on the Facebook page that he had an axe to grind, and that was possibly part of the motive,” Willingham said. “If you read the Facebook post and see what he’s accused of doing, you can see there’s link between the two of them.” The Facebook page had been taken down by Sunday afternoon. Acting on an anonymous tip and backed by a helicopter, police arrested England and Alvin Watts, 32, at a home just north of Tulsa around 2 a.m. Task force commander Maj. Walter Evans said that investigators recovered a weapon but that it was not clear who fired the shots. Autism, obesity in pregnancy linked The Associated Press C H I CAG O — O b e sity during pregnancy may increase chances for having a child with autism, provocative new research suggests. It’s among the first studies linking the two, and though it doesn’t prove obesity causes autism, the authors say their results raise public health concerns because of the high level of obesity in this country. Study women who were obese during pregnancy were about 67 percent more likely than normal-weight women to have autistic children. They also faced double the risk of having children with other developmental delays. On average, women face a 1 in 88 chance of having a child with autism; the results suggest that obesity during pregnancy would increase that to a 1 in 53 chance, the authors said. The study was released online today in Pediatrics. Since more than one-third of U.S. women of child-bearing age are obese, the results are potentially worrisome and add yet another incentive for maintaining a normal weight, said researcher Paula Krakowiak, a study co-author and scientist at the University of California, Davis.

Epperson suggested allowing residents to solicit home improvement stores such as Ace Hardware Andraé and Lowe’s McGary for donated materials that skilled residents could use to make repairs and reduce maintenance costs. College Hill Courts resident Catherine Nunley suggested having more residents pay a flat-rate rent. She said charging a flat rate instead of allowing some people to pay only $50 could generate more money for maintenance. Given time to plan, several residents said, they could seek out grants and come up with alternatives to tearing down public housing. From 1999 to 2011, Chattanooga lost 750 public housing units, dropping from 3,692 to 2,942. Across the country, more than 10,000 public housing units are demolished or sold annually, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, and more than 165,000 units have been demolished or sold since the 1990s. Most were not replaced, the coalition said. Meanwhile, more public housing residents are given vouchers to defray privatemarket rent, but those don’t always cover utilities. Vouchers expire after four months if not used, and some tenants haven’t been able to find landlords to accept them in that time. to be supportive of anything the housing authority wants to do, then we will end up with another Harriet Tubman situation,” McGary said. Harriet Tubman, the CHA’s second-largest complex with 440 units, is being emptied and put up for sale because the buildings are deteriorated and CHA can’t afford to fix them or demolish the site. One major problem is the federal government has abandoned the idea of maintaining 300- or 400-unit, high-density public housing complexes like the ones in Westside, McGary said. If residents do nothing, he said, there will be no money to fix leaking roofs and broken air conditioners. “It is my desire to see you treated with dignity, but it is only a matter of time before College Hill gets like Harriet ORGANIZING AGAINST Tubman,” McGary told the From the time Westside group Thursday. residents heard that Purpose Built may come to their comRESIDENTS munity, dozens organized to AS RESOURCES say they didn’t want commuChris Brooks, the co- nity revitalization that meant founder of local advocacy less public housing. group Chattanooga OrgaThey embarked on a citynized for Action, said West- wide campaign to unify all side residents are aware of public housing residents.

The name of the developer is a “private matter,” Ali said, and he didn’t know if he had anything to do with Purpose Built, but the developer said he wanted the property to put 300 apartments on it for students. ■ Some Westside residents said, given the chance, they could raise money to help defray CHA’s maintenance costs on the complexes and even do some of the work themselves. CHA has said it needs $50 million to bring College Hill Courts up to standard. College Hill is one of three public housing sites on the Westside owned by CHA. At a Westside meeting Thursday, McGary, whose district covers the community, said Purpose Built can’t take any action concerning College Hill Courts unless the nonprofit goes through the CHA board because the authority owns the property. McCright said she knows CHA will be involved in what happens to College Hill, but she’s still gathering information about how the decision process works. “We’re just trying to keep our minds open and look for options,” McCright said. “The purpose on Monday is to get information and share as much as we can with residents so they can understand the situation we’re in. We want to encourage them to approach the problem in a positive manner.” McGary said Westside residents need to keep open minds. “If residents have decided that they are not in a position IF YOU GO 34380653 Breaking News: [email protected] 34357873 ... . timesfreepress.com AGE $7,000.00 Male Female Male Female $5,000.00 $3,000.00 Male Female Male Female 45-49 $32.50 $27.00 $23.05 $19.20 $16.75 $14.00 $10.45 $8.80 50-54 $36.00 $30.00 $25.50 $21.30 $18.50 $15.50 $11.50 $9.70 55-59 $45.00 $37.50 $31.80 $26.55 $23.00 $19.25 $14.20 $11.95 60-64 $55.00 $42.00 $38.80 $29.70 $28.00 $21.50 $17.20 $13.30 65-69 $66.00 $51.00 $46.50 $36.00 $33.50 $26.00 $20.50 $16.00 70-74 $89.00 $69.00 $62.60 $48.60 $45.00 $35.00 $27.40 $21.40 75-79 $121.00 $98.00 $85.00 $68.90 $61.00 $49.50 $37.00 $30.10 Guaranteed Acceptance with no health questions asked Full Coverage for people aged 45 to 85 Benefits do not decrease due to age or changing health Coverage Guaranteed policy cannot be cancelled Builds cash value you can borrow against 80-85 $166.00 $139.50 $116.50 $97.95 $83.50 $70.25 $50.50 $42.55 423-228-5300 RELIABLE, ENERGY EFFICIENT, CLEAN AIR FOR THE HOME.

North Korean rocket ready for launch The Associated Press TO N G C H A N G - R I , North Korea — North Korean space officials have moved all three stages of a long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch, vowing Sunday to push ahead with their plan in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity. The Associated Press was among foreign news agencies allowed a firsthand look at preparations under way at the coastal Sohae Satellite Station in northwestern North Korea. North Korea announced plans last month to launch an observation satellite using a three-stage rocket during mid-April celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. The U.S., Japan, Britain and other nations have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, warning that firing the long-range rocket would violate U.N. resolutions and North Korea’s promise to refrain from engaging in nuclear and missile activity. North Korea maintains that the launch is a scientific achievement intended to improve the nation’s faltering economy by providing detailed surveys of the countryside.

The majority of these raids are nighttime operations in which U.S. and Afghan troops descend without warning on homes or residential compounds searching for insurgents. The raids are widely resented by Afghans, and President Hamid Karzai had repeatedly called for a halt to all night raids by international forces. He said for months that they would have to stop before he would sign a muchanticipated pact governing the long-term U.S. presence in Afghanistan. Both countries have said that they wanted that bigger deal signed before the NATO summit in May, so the night raids agreement announced Sunday makes hitting that deadline possible.

FREE no comment on the setback. The envoy has not said what would happen if his deadlines were ignored. Even before the setback, expectations were low that the Assad regime would honor the agreement. Russia, an Assad ally that supports the cease-fire plan, may now be the only one able to salvage it. The rest of the international community, unwilling to contemplate military intervention, has little leverage over Syria. In recent days, instead of preparing for a withdrawal, regime troops have stepped up shelling attacks on residential areas, killing dozens of civilians every day in what the opposition described as a frenzied rush to gain ground. troops make civilian casualties more likely and that U.S. soldiers are disrespectful in the way they conduct the operations. The U.S. military has said such operations are essential for intelligence gathering and for capturing Taliban and al-Qaida commanders. Sunday’s deal appeared to be a compromise: a panel of Afghan security officials gets authority to decide what raids will take place, and U.S. forces still play a large part in operations, including entering Afghan homes if needed.

The truce plan, devised by U.N.Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, was supposed to go into effect Tuesday, with Bashar a withdrawal of Syr- Assad ian forces from population centers, followed within 48 hours by a cease-fire by both sides in the uprising against four decades of repressive rule by the Assad family. But on Sunday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said that ahead of any troop pullback, the government needs written guarantees from opposition fighters that they will lay down their weapons. The commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, Riad al-Asaad, said that while his group is ready to abide by a truce, it does not recognize the regime “and for that reason we will not give guarantees.” Annan’s spokesman had 423-622-1185 www.leafguard.com New Beltone True Puts the FREE into Hearing Care! ™ 1 HANDS-FREE!

Johnson II The Associated Press NASHVILLE — Charles Widener and his wife believe being personTennessee ally involved their chilLegislature in dren’s academics is essential to the youngsters succeeding — not just in school but in life. ■ One piece of legislation calls for a parent report card. “It’s very important for us to be involved with our children,” said Widener, whose 9-year-old and 5year-old attend a Nashville magnet school. “You have to show them that education is important.” Tennessee is among a few states that have enacted or are considering legislation that aims to spur parents to get involved in their children’s school performance. One bill advancing in the Tennessee Legislature would encourage school districts to develop a parental involvement contract, and another proposes what are commonly referred to as parent report cards, which are mostly used in charter schools. The contract legislation is similar to a proposal passed in Michigan in 2001, and Louisiana is currently considering legislation to grade parent participation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Utah passed legislation last month that creates an online survey where parents can evaluate their own involvement, but the school does not assign them a grade and it’s voluntary, the NCSL said. “It’s the engagement,” said Rep. Antonio Parkinson, a Memphis Democrat and sponsor of both Tennessee proposals, which are advancing in the Legislature. “One thing we understand is schools with higher parental involvement perform higher. And so, what we’re trying to do is ensure that every school gets that opportunity for higher parental involvement.” The bill that would require the state Department of Education to develop a parental involvement contract to be used by school districts is close to being sent to the governor. See PARENTS, Page B3 COMMENTARY Keep your laws off my underwear! It’s like we’ve elected Tommy Hilfiger. The politics of fashion have entered the state House, where Nashville legislators passed with little dissent the “We Don’t Want To See Your Underwear” bill, outlawing sagging pants and visible sports bras in schools. The governor — presumably wearing a coat and tie — will probably sign the bill in the weeks to come. Sagging — the odd teenage practice of wearing pants on the latitude somewhere between groin and ankle — has its history in prison culture, where belts are contraband and thus, prison pants sagged. At some point, the practice hopped the jailhouse walls and entered pop culture, where it largely exists practiced by black male teenagers. Of course it’s crude. Parts of the body that belong in the bathroom don’t belong in public. That’s why we have public indecency laws. Already on the books. That’s why schools can craft their own dress codes. Already doing that. So why did legislators — isn’t this Big GovernDavid Cook ment intruding? — seem so convinced they need to legislate how students — mainly black males — can dress? Why not outlaw the suit and tie, the dress of choice for most people who commit the largest crimes in our country? Like declaring war. Blowing off mountaintops. Enron. The banking bubble. It’s the Hoodification of Politics, where the big and important issues are covered up by superficial ones. The hoodie — a traditionally bluecollar coat with hood and drawstrings used for protection from weather or to hide your face for various reasons — has become center of political discourse, a symbol emerging from the death of Trayvon Martin. Hoods have been used in the notso-distant past as well. White hoods, pointed at the top, burning cross in the background. Terror suspects overseas. All hooded. The head gets covered, which represents identity (face) and intelligence (brain). The Hoodification of Politics is about paying attention to the surface — the outside — and covering up what really matters. See COOK, Page B3 UTC hosts business camp for veterans By Todd South Staff Writer UTC is taking applications for a new, free program that aims to teach military veterans how to start a successful business. The Veterans Entrepreneurship Program application deadline is April 27. Those accepted will begin the first phase of the yearlong program in June. Dr. Robert Dooley, dean of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s College of Business, brought the program model with him from Oklahoma State University when he arrived in Chattanooga last summer. Dooley said in a recent interview that while it’s obvious to most employers that veterans make good employees, what’s often overlooked is their ability to run their own organizations.

The Eddys came to McKamey to adopt a dog after their old dog died four months ago. Puppy love S queals of delight fill a small visitors room at McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center as volunteer Caitlin Woodfin walks through the door carrying two small terrier puppies. Angela and Al Eddy’s children reach for the puppies, and the kids’ faces light up. Samantha, 11, beats her siblings to the door and grabs the first — a young female terrier mix. Her sister, Megan, 7, and brother, Ben, 4, end up with the first small puppy’s short-haired brother cradled between them. What follows is 45 minutes of rapt attention from the children. They giggle as the puppies chew on their flip-flops and cheer as the two dogs play-fight over the right to gnaw on a shoestring. “We’ve been promising another little dog because the other little dog that we had passed away,” says Angela. “We’ve heard good things about McKamey, so we decided to come here.” It was important for the Eddys to include all the children in the process of finding a new puppy. They wanted to be sure they were getting one that all of the children liked and got along with. The Eddys did look at another dog; he was a larger terrier mix named Joker. In the end, though, they settled on the male terrier puppy because of his size and low energy level. “The children don’t need any help with being feisty,” says Angela. When asked about their new puppy, Samantha says, “It’s exciting and fun that we’re finally going to be getting a new dog.” Sister Megan chimes in: “It will be able to play and maybe even crawl in our beds at night.” “Might have to have a doggie bed at the end of the bed,” her mom replies.

More officials to moderate Alabama tests The Associated Press MOBILE, Ala. — The Mobile County school system is sending more workers into schools this week to monitor its annual standardized tests. The Mobile Press-Register reports that the move responds to reports of testing irregularities documented by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Atlanta newspaper’s report identified the Mobile County system as one of nine across the country where extreme fluctuations in standardized test scores strongly indicated cheating. On Monday, moderators from the central office will be at all 75 elementary and middle schools throughout the testing process. In past years, a team of central office personnel traveled to different schools throughout the mornings, spending about an hour at each. S c h o o l s Su p e r i n te n dent Martha Peek said the newspaper’s report is “being viewed seriously.” Obituaries • Continued from Page B2 Stella Poteet Lura Precise SUMMERVILLE — Lura Bell “Lou” Precise, 77, died April 7, 2012, after a long battle with emphysema and other health issues.

It’s scheduled to be heard in the House Finance Committee on Tuesday, and the companion bill is up in the Senate Education Committee the next day. The legislation would require teachers to monitor and assess the quality of a parent’s involvement. Each student report card would include a section in which the teacher grades the parent as excellent, satisfactory, needs improvement or unsatisfactory. Parkinson said the proposal is important because it allows “parents to at least judge themselves ... honestly, so that they can see whether or not they’re giving as much as they can possibly give to the success of the education of their children.” Te n n e ss e e G ov. B i l l Haslam, who has implemented tougher education policies since taking office in 2010, says parental involvement is a “key issue.” “If you go into schools and talk to teachers about what are their biggest struggles, it’s simply that parents aren’t nearly as involved as [the teachers would] like [them] to be,” said the Republican governor. “If you compare successful schools to schools that don’t have great test results, that’s the key difference.” Alan Dooley said he knows firsthand the importance of parental involvement because he hears it from his wife, who’s a science teacher in Nashville. “When parents don’t show up for a conference with her, she can’t work out problems or issues with that child,” Dooley said. “The more you can hold a parent accountable ... just as a teacher is held accountable for what she teaches, I think it’s important. It’s a two-way street.” Tennessee Board of Education Executive Director Gary Nixon said the proposals are a “step in the right direction.” Veterans where they’ll get feedback and support as they fine-tune their businesses. The program, which is free to the students, is being paid for through business and individual donations at an estimated cost of $3,000 per student. Dr. Steve White, a professor of management at UTC, has coordinated the program curriculum. White said the short stay for the on-campus boot camp should fit well into working veterans’ real-world schedules. “We want people to understand if they’ve got the time, that’s all they need,” he said. “We’re going to try and take somebody who has minimal to no knowledge of running a business and give them eight days of fundamentals.” But even those already in business for themselves can benefit, said Jonathan Williams, president of the Tennessee Veterans Business Association. Williams went through a similar program last year at Texas A&M University even though he had been running his Knoxville-based business, Accord Federal Services LLC, for a year. The 10-year U.S. Navy veteran took what he and his partner had been doing with their work managing federal contracts and scrutinized every aspect. “You’re basically immersing yourself in your company,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that we were on the right path with our business plan, accounting, costs, marketing.” Williams said working in small groups and then staying connected with other veteran business owners helped tremendously. He has continued that support network philosophy as head of the state veterans business association. Dooley said that as of last week the program had nine applicants, but there’s space for 20 to 30. If the program is successful, the plan is to make it an annual event, and the university staff will track participants’ success in their future business endeavors.

Under the proposal, the “contracts will provide, at a minimum, that the parent or guardian will commit to review their student’s homework and offer assistance when needed, sign report cards, ensure that their student is not truant, attend school functions, and make every effort to attend parent-teacher conferences.” “We know that parental involvement is one of the most important factors in predicting student outcomes,” said Republican Sen.

ALABAMA Luther Brownfield FORT PAYNE — Luther Newman Brownfield, 78, formerly of Stevenson, Ala., passed to Gail Palmgren, the Signal Mountain housewife who went missing and dominated headlines for months in this city. Keoshia, in a coma and fighting for her precious life, matters. Every bit as much as Palmgren. That’s why Mayor Ron Littlefield deserves applause. Running on empty at the end of a battered political year, the mayor made one of the most unpopular decisions imaginable: Move the Bessie Smith Strut away from M.L. King Boulevard to a sanitized and safer Riverbend. The police have warned him of all that could go wrong if gun violence showed up among the tall-boy beers, barbecue and blues. Keoshia times 10. In the interest of public safety, he made a tough decision, one that valued the depth of human life. I wonder what lawmakers in Nashville would say. Based on the way they’ve made an idol of the Second Amendment, they’d probably recommend arming everybody at the Strut. It’s like we’ve elected Ted Nugent. Well dressed, of course. David Cook can be reached at davidcook@ hushmail.com. Consider: We criminalize sports bras, while legalizing the blowing up of mountains for coal. Nashville legislators are also working to encourage science teachers to teach the weaknesses of such things as biological evolution and climate change. I imagine they’ll do this between tornado drills, as the 18 zillion tornadoes that seem to be descending on our state have nothing to do with a changing climate, right? In Chattanooga, the Occupy protesters were tossed from the county courthouse. Why? Lawn maintenance. The lawn was getting mussed up, and clearly the lawn — the green surface of things — matters more than the First Amendment. Or corporate control over democracy, which was what Occupy was mainly protesting. Look, it’s not just politics. The media are guilty, too. It’s been three weeks since Keoshia Ford was shot in the head. Thirteen years old. Playing in the yard. Driveby madness. She’s gotten a millisecond of attention compared The Associated Press Parents from an old hospital in Harriman. The city has offered to lease the space to the Department of Veterans Affairs for a dollar a year. Officials said if approved, the hospital would serve a 10-county area and assist close to 50,000 veterans. Officials said Saturday was the first of a five-step process to get approval for a third VA hospital in the state. • Continued from Page B1 “It’s not their job skills they’ve learned, it’s the fact they come out of an environment that’s mission-oriented, they follow through on a task and have a strong desire to achieve goals,” Dooley said. Those intangible skills are the same that make a good entrepreneur, he said. The year-long program begins with a month of selfstudy before vets hit UTC in July for an eight-day “boot camp” that teaches them the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. After that comes a 10month mentoring phase away at his residence Sunday, April 8, 2012. Mr. Brownfield was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and working in his yard. He loved to laugh and make those around him laugh as well.

Thomas will be speaking on the Georgia Guard and Trail of Tears Association activity in North Georgia, according to a news release. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the Old Stone Church south of Ringgold. KIMBALL, Tenn. — The severe storms on March 2 caused extensive damage to Kimball city property, and now officials are going through the process of getting things repaired. Kimball Mayor David Jackson said there is widespread hail damage to “all of the city buildings, except the maintenance building.” Four police cars also were totaled, officials said. “When the insurance adjuster was here [inspecting the damage], he asked what the maximum was that we could spend without having to bid the work out,” Jackson said. “When we said it was $10,000, the insurance adjuster said, ‘Get ready to bid.’” On Thursday, the Kimball Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a base bid of $43,200, with an extra $1,500 for a roofing upgrade, from Two Rivers Roofing Inc. in Madison, Tenn.. The contract must be reviewed by city attorney Billy Gouger and the insurance adjuster. Jackson said he is unsure how much of the cost will be covered because the city’s insurer is waiting for the results of the bid process. Officials were disappointed that no local contractors submitted bids. “We had two bids, but unfortunately, none of them were from local people,” Jackson said. Gouger said companies can perform work such as roofing repairs without a license if the total cost is under $25,000. “I think the reason [Kimball] didn’t get local roofing companies bidding is because most of the work they do is less than $25,000 per job,” he said. “That way, they’re not required legally to be licensed.” The city can’t separately bid repairs for each building as a way to encourage local contractors to compete, he said. “I think the law is going to consider it cumulative,” Gouger said. “If it’s all the Scott runs for Catoosa sheriff DALTON, GA.

Inmates at the detention center are preparing a garden that is meant to promote good health and productive activity. Hoeing a new row Bledsoe inmates working on vegetable garden By Ben Benton Staff Writer PIKEVILLE, Tenn. — A cloudless sky overhead, freshly turned soil beneath their orange flip-flops and Crocs, a dozen inmates at the Bledsoe County Detention Center pick clumps of grass and rocks from the dirt to ready the jail’s first garden for planting. The prisoners, all nonviolent offenders who have good behavior reports, talk excitedly about having a garden to tend and the vegetables they hope to plant. Cody Leach, 18, from Franklin County, said the garden will give prisoners productive work and help lighten the local tax burden by producing food for the jail’s 90 to 100 inmates. “It’s good to get out of the jail and get a little bit of freedom and help DECATUR, TENN.

The blaze broke out Saturday night, and firefighter Matt Lovitt told WBIR that it took around 100 firefighters from six departments to contain it. He said the fire was in a pit that was about six feet deep, 60 feet wide and 100 feet long. Crews were at the site Sunday to look for hot spots. OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Many of the components of President Barack Obama’s health care plan are similar to the health care system in Russia, say Russian doctors touring East Tennessee. “From our point of view, it’s the right approach,” Aleksander Yermakov said. But another Russian doctor on a weeklong tour of East Tennessee, Olga Martinova, begs to differ. There are a “lot of deficiencies” in the Russian medical system, she said. The five doctors are participants in the Open World exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Congress that included tours of hospitals and clinics in Knoxville and Oak Ridge as well as sightseeing and visits to tourist attractions.

Scott said that, as the only candidate who hasn’t been a Catoosa County deputy, he brings a fresh perspective after more than two decades under the same leadership. “I want to try to bring different ideas to the sheriff’s department. Intelligence-led policing, problem-solving policing,” he said. “My name isn’t as well known as some of the other candidates, but more eggs. “It was really crazy,” said May’s friend Anna Polk, also 10. “Hectic,” May added. Russell said volunteers prayed for a safe egg hunt before they began and laughingly noted that he made a personal appeal for calm parents. His prayers were answered, though some parents in the 2-and-under division weren’t above running out to the egg fields despite Russell’s pleas that they walk. The only shenanigans of the morning came from a group of 10- and 11-year-olds who pelted helpers with emptied eggs between rounds. The good-natured volunteers playfully returned fire. One way or another, most families returned their eggs after harvesting the prizes, and Russell’s already planning how to fill even more for next Easter.

Scott was born in the Sequatchie Valley and grew up in Chattanooga. He graduated from Brainerd High School in 1972 then from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1983, where he majored in criminal justice. He worked as a Chattanooga police officer, then joined DEA in 1985. A polygraph examiner, he became chief of the polygraph program and traveled to South America, Pakistan, Thailand and elsewhere to train others, he said. In 1999, he came home to oversee DEA operations in seven counties of Southeast Tennessee. Former U.S. Attorney Russ Deadrick said Scott helped establish the Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force, busting drug rings and confiscating illegal drugs being smuggled from Mexico. “He is down to earth. He is likable and easy to work with. He gets the job done,” said Deadrick. Contact staff writer Joan Garrett at [email protected] or 423-7576601. Follow her on Twitter at @JoanGarrettCTFP.

Turning to a prisoner, he instructed, “You want to plant them ’taters about every six to eight inches and be sure the eyes are up. Pull about four or five inches of dirt over them.” Morris said he’s trying to pass along his farming knowledge to those who seem to like the work. “These guys are really interested in this garden. It’s something for them to look forward to and [they like] eating their own food that they grew,” he said. The sheriff hopes the garden can cut down food costs, but he said it’ll take a while to figure out how much impact the homegrown veggies will have. Inmate Tyrone McDowell, 18, of Chattanooga, was working his second day in the garden. He’d worked before in the garden at Taft Youth Development Center, on the mountain about 20 miles west of Pikeville. “It’s good to get people out here to do it,” McDowell said. “It’s more freedom than you’d think it would be,” he said with a lingering glance at the sky. The garden is good for the prisoners and “keeps them out of trouble. It’s having something to look forward to doing,” he said. “I’m hoping we plant a little bit of everything.” He said he’d like to find work in agriculture when he’s released in October. Sgt. Dan Hodge, who was watching over the gardeners, said the inmates will be supervised by at least two officers while they work the soil. Hodge predicts the garden will be a success for the inmates because “it gives them something productive to do.” The garden is a “de-stresser,” he said. “Just for them to nurture plants will help them ease the stress,” Hodge said. “I think there’s benefits all the way around with this [garden].” A pair of local residents chatting last week on Cumberland Avenue in Pikeville said the garden is a good idea. Newell Angel said inmates should benefit from learning to help themselves as they pay their debts to the public. “I think anybody that broke the law, if they can, they ought to take the burden off the county as much as they can,” he said. Reece Noble said it’s good for the inmates to get some fresh air, too. “It might give those boys some hope for the future,” he said.

Patients on occasion ignore doctors’ advice and take medicine because it helped their neighbor. “Sometimes, it’s really absurd,” she said. When asked if doctors in Russia are well-paid, several of the doctors responded in unison: “Nyet,” meaning “No.” Pakhomenko said he’s “surprised that 10 percent of Americans don’t have [health care] insurance or good medical care.” Eye doctor Nadia Oblovatskaya said that during her U.S. visit, she has encountered “a huge gap between [health care] coverage for wealthy people and poor people.” “The [American] society is divided,” she said. “In Russia, medical services are provided not on how wealthy or poor you are.” Americans, she said, “worry a lot about the future, their health, about everything in general.” “I can feel it everywhere.” “ Th e co m m o n b o n d between Tennessee physicians and our Russian colleagues was that we all care about providing quality, costeffective care for the patients we see in tough economic times for health-care financing,” said Oak Ridge physician Ken Luckmann, who helped coordinate the visit. The U.S. Supreme Court in June is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, referred to by critics as Obamacare.

The analysis shows lobbyists spent $866,747 on gifts for lawmakers between Jan. 1 and March 31 — an average of $9,525 per day. It included more than $17,000 in free sports and events tickets, dinners that cost as much as $245 apiece and golf outings. The expenditures came as a statewide coalition called the Georgia Alliance for Ethics Reform urged legislators to limit lobbyists’ Georgia gifts to $100 Legislature p e r eve n t . The measure never emerged from committee during the 40-day session. But there are signs the lobbyist culture is changing. Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle’s office told the newspaper on Friday he plans to study the issue of lobbying later this year. And Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers this year quietly decided not to accept any gifts from lobbyists. It’s hard to connect a lobbyist’s spending with a development in the Legislature, but state ethics reports make it easier to determine high levels of activity from lobbyists. State Rep. Mickey Channell, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, went to dozens of dinners with lobbyists representing hospitals, auto dealers, utilities and retailers during the first three months of the year. He was particularly popular because he was the sponsor of a House bill that called for a wide-ranging update to the state’s tax structure. Channell told the newspaper the dinners were “perfectly legal” and a part of doing business at the statehouse. “The bottom line is, frankly, it extends the legislative day for me,” he told the newspaper. “I go to work early, and most often times go out to eat with this group or that group.” Debbie Dooley of the Georgia Tea Party Patriots said lawmakers could get more serious about changing the way they deal with lobbyists if they “feel the pain of primary opposition.” RACE IN TODAY...

OPINION B6 • Monday, April 9, 2012 • • • Established 1869 Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher 1878-1935 HARRY AUSTIN Editorial Page Editor WES HASDEN Associate Editor EDITORIALS Cameras and the high court T he period following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent hearings on challenges to the health care law, a law approved by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, is an appropriate time to question the high court’s continued refusal to visually share its proceedings with the nation it purports to serve. The court can provide no satisfactory answer to such a query. The current policy is archaic and indefensible. It should be changed. The court should adopt a policy that provides reasonable and accessible TV coverage of its proceedings. That can be done without harming the operation or dignity of the court — as long as safeguards are put in place to limit or halt broadcasts of sensitive deliberations. There’s ample precedent for such action. The highest levels of the legislative and executive branches of the federal government already allow public access via cameras in almost everything they undertake. So do an increasing number of state and local governments and courts at a variety of levels. None, it should be noted, have been harmed as a result of the increased public exposure. Now, in fact, many public officials once leery of the public exposure provided by the camera actively court such attention. The high court justices, for the most part, do not. Occasionally, one of the nine says something that suggests he or she understands the merits of live broadcasts, but it is made clear such that the remark is a personal opinion. As a unit, the justices continue to oppose cameras in court. That supports the long-standing and terribly elitist attitude that the words and actions of judges and lawyers are beyond the ability of ordinary citizens to understand. Truth is, Americans are extraordinarily interested and quite knowledgeable about the courts, the law and government. Allowing cameras in court would no doubt increase that interest and knowledge and contribute directly to a more informed and involved public. That’s why hearings on a topic as vital to Americans and their future as the new health care law should have been open to all. The best way to provide such exposure is through TV. Indeed, it’s the only way. Fewer than 300 seats are available at the U.S. Supreme Court. Americans have a right to see and hear what takes place before the high court. Limited seating and the personal feelings of the justices should not trump that right. Arguments to the contrary are pretty feeble. Justice Clarence Thomas said recently that the result of allowing TV cameras in his court could be that “tabloid interests in the issue overshadow the substantive nature of the issue.” Nonsense. Most Americans are wise enough to separate the important from the inane, especially in matters of personal and national interest. Rather than remain silent or continue to hide behind tradition, the U.S. Supreme Court should implement rules that allow live video and audio recordings of its proceedings — whether they are about arcane legal matters or issues of long-lasting vital importance like the new health care law. That would allow all Americans to become more fully informed partners in the work that the justices take up on their behalf. Libraries still play vital role This is National Library Week, but some might question the necessity of the occasion. After all, they say, traditional brick-and-mortar libraries are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The advent of the Internet, the heavy use of Google and similar services, and the ready availability of traditional and digital material from Kindle, Amazon and innumerable other sites, they add, are signs that the library is no longer vital to community life. Fortunately, such talk about the demise of libraries is wrong. There is, in fact, considerable evidence to support arguments to the contrary. Many public libraries attract more patrons than ever. People of all ages flock to them. Individuals of all ages — especially the poor, the elderly and those in rural areas — come to the library because it often is the only place they can get online and connect to the digital world. That’s hardly a surprise. About a third of Americans still do not have broadband access at home. Access to the Internet is not the only attraction of public libraries. There’s still a huge demand for its traditional offerings and services. Late last week, for instance, several patrons waited patiently in line at the Public Library in downtown Chattanooga to check out a variety of items. They represented a cross-section of the community. One gentleman in business attire was there to check out a travel book. He’d already searched on-line, he said, for travel tips and the website had recommended the book in his hand for further reading. Another patron was preparing to check out several DVDs for the upcoming holiday weekend. There were a couple of kids in line, too, standing almost patiently with a parent to check out books. It was obvious from their animated conversation that a trip to the library was still a special experience. That line, in microcosm, is proof that libraries are still vital. Sadly, some communities around the nation are unable to provide full library services. Several have either closed libraries or significantly reduced services. The budgets of others have become embroiled in the political process. In those instances, the value of libraries and the services they provide quickly are overshadowed by unnecessarily diverting jurisdictional and financial issues. That’s certainly been the case here in the recent past. It is time to move beyond such diversions. Libraries still play a pivotal role in community life. They, as they have done in the past, help people to learn and to grow in a manner that allows them to participate more fully in a continually evolving and increasingly complex society. Even if National Library Week does nothing more than remind us of that fact, it is a worthwhile observance. Letters to the Editors —— ❖ —— Let data show why Strut move needed My contentions with moving the Strut to the Riverfront are: 1. Data hasn’t proven the Riverbend location is safer than MLK. 2. Has consideration been given to the fact that moving the Strut to the riverfront will challenge the police logistically because of the larger area and being divided by the Tennessee River? 3. Has consideration been given to the fact that many older citizens, especially lower-income blacks, won’t attend the event if the venue is changed? 4. Has consideration been given to the fact that a decrease in the number of adults who serve as “volunteers of influence” will increase the ratio of youth to adults? The greater the gap between the two, the greater the probability for violence. 5. Why is the current plan in place for policing the Strut no longer feasible? There hasn’t been a shooting since 2003. A decision of this magnitude should require a vote from the people. Over 100,000 people attend Bessie Smith Strut, and most are citizens of Chattanooga. These individuals are taxpayers, property owners and voters. It should be proven with data whether changing the venue is truly a public safety mandate. Otherwise, it will be viewed as a move by this administration to further limit the economic empowerment and positive programming in the urban Chattanooga community. PATRICK KELLOGG Community Organizer GOP stand epitome of ‘big government’ The “good ole boys” of the Republican Party have blundered into the arenas of sex and reproduction, revealing their ignorance of both. Although they give lip service to wanting to end abortions, their policies say otherwise. The most effective way to end abortions is to prevent unwanted pregnancies. However, these “geniuses” want to limit access to birth control while advising women to hold aspirins between their legs as a means of contraception. But what can you expect from men who always have depended on their personalities for contraception. They continually pontificate about getting government “off our backs” but want to violate women who want an abortion with an intrusive probe. This is the epitome of “big government.” The U.S. ranks 34th in infant mortality, just behind Cuba. This low ranking is primarily due to a lack of prenatal care, but Rick Santorum wants to end prenatal care because he thinks it leads to abortions. I guess Republicans care only about fetuses, not dead babies. But what can you expect? When Republicans want advice about sex and reproduction, they don’t turn to obstetricians. They turn to elderly Catholic bishops who are reputed to be childless virgins.

This hunger phenomenon is inconsistent with American values, but it stubbornly persists. One of the most effective tools in dealing with hunger is the Federal SNAP program, or food stamps. Yet controversy surrounds this effort. Part of the problem is a lack of understanding about the impact of this program. Some facts: No government official or program “puts” people on food stamps. More people are eligible because they meet the economic criteria. SNAP is a federal program, managed by the states. Food stamp benefits reach beyond the recipient from grocer to grower, creating $9 in economic benefits for every $1 given in benefits. Food stamps may prevent foreclosures or utility shutoffs. Many recipient families have at least one working member, but wages are too low to buy enough food. Average SNAP benefit is little more than $1 per person per meal, not enough to maintain a healthy diet, particularly for seniors. SNAP is invaluable for food banks and communities, helping to stretch scarce resources. CLARE M. SAWYER President CEO Chattanooga Area Food Bank Punish firms that send calls abroad I read that T-Mobile was closing its call centers and moving the jobs to Asia. What do you think of a 25-cent tariff on all international calls? That would put these Asian call centers out of business, bring the jobs back to America and restore to some standard the customer service we should be entitled to from these corporations we do business with. We as consumers should cease to do business (when possible) with any company that directs our calls for customer service out of the United States. F. DOUG CRAIG Don’t accept filth of Limbaugh, Maher It is never necessary to remind a gentleman that he is a gentleman. The observance that Rush Limbaugh spews his coarse, vile filth toward a so-called conservative audience and Bill Maher spews his coarse, vile filth toward a so-called liberal audience reveals a distinction without a difference. Each has merely chosen the audience with which he can best obtain the fame, fortune and power that he values above all else. They are two of a despicable kind. We should not be surprised. Not long ago we saw Limbaugh mock the physical challenges of a person with multiple sclerosis (Michael J. Fox) and Maher joke about a Down syndrome child (Sarah Palin’s young son, Trig). They are who they are. The more important concern is who we are. Why do we acknowledge and reward those who would bring us down to their scummy level as we take part in the political processes which should make us a more perfect nation? We who choose whether to tune in to their programs and buy their books should use this discretion to enforce higher standards of decency. We would all be better off for having done so. HANK SUNDERLAND Soddy-Daisy European systems are not the answer I have to assume that Clay Bennett must be well versed in our problems concerning the national debt and how to make sure that the Medicare program will be solvent for future generations. I have seen many changes in our society in my 71-plus years, but the socialistic thinking of a part of our society in recent years is disturbing. I see the problems the European countries are having and find it hard to believe that anyone could think that these systems are the answer. Our population, like Europe’s, is aging and the birth rate has been declining for years. Therefore, changes in the Medicare program have to made. The Constitution states that the our government must defend us. All the other programs our elected officials choose to put in may be good and/or needed, but they have a cost and this should be considered. ED TALIAFERRO Lookout Mountain, Ga. Leave Strut alone; make own decision I agree completely (with Naman Crowe’s letter, April 5). What a shame. I may have missed a few Bessie Smith Struts over the years, but I have never had concern for my safety. On the other hand, I have been concerned about latenight Riverbend on several occasions. I live at Coolidge Park, and I feel much safer at the Strut than my front yard. I do not have all the information. However, I have enough information to make my own decision to go or not to go. I had not been living in Chattanooga long when the Parade insert was removed from my paper because of ... anyone remember? I still have a problem with that little stunt. Isn’t it great, having all these people deciding for us how to live our lives. Kinda like the old U.S.S.R. I urge the readers of this paper to boycott Riverbend if the Strut is moved. I certainly will. Is it true that the city is going to provide free helmets for all, just in case you happen to be caught outside in a hailstorm and can’t figure out what is happening? Say it ain’t so, Ron. Please leave the Strut just as it is — a great mix of people and the best night of Riverbend. PETE GIBSON ... . timesfreepress.com OPINION • • • Monday, April 9, 2012 • B7 Or is it? Established 1936, Roy McDonald, Founder & Publisher, 1936-1990 Frank McDonald, President and Chairman, 1969-2000 LEE ANDERSON Associate Publisher & Editor EDITORIALS U.S. owns how much land? T here are many valid reasons for the federal government to own land. Obviously, federal roads are on government land, as are, say, various war monuments, military bases, national parks and such. Few people would object to Washington having control of a certain amount of our national territory for purposes such as those. But government ownership of land comes with a price: Taking land out of productive private use curtails economic activity and reduces tax revenue to fund the functions of government. Moreover, many Americans probably are unaware of the vast extent of federal control of land in the United States — especially in the West. While our national government owns less than 15 percent of land in the states that stretch eastward from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas to the Atlantic Ocean, it owns up to 50 percent of the land in a number of western states. And if you can believe it, Washington owns more than 50 percent of the land in five Western states. Here is the breakdown. The federal government owns: ■ 52.5 percent of Oregon ■ 62.4 percent of Alaska ■ 62.5 percent of Idaho ■ 64.5 percent of Utah ■ And a stunning 82.9 percent of Nevada! Does the federal government really need to be in possession of an overwhelming majority of the acreage in those states? Many lawmakers in the West apparently don’t think so. They want the federal government to turn control of a lot of federal land over to state and local officials, so they can find ways to use the land more productively than Washington has. Among other things, they cite the massive wildfires that have resulted from federal unwillingness to allow the thinning out of overgrown forests. Utah’s Senate recently passed a bill calling on Washington to hand over control of roughly 30 million acres. That comes to almost 50 percent of Utah’s total area. A similar effort is under way in Arizona. It’s hard to say whether the federal government will pay any heed to the states’ attempt to get back some of their land. But we can sympathize with the effort. We surely wouldn’t like it if more than half of Tennessee were under federal control. Regrettable ‘Strut’ ill will A primary purpose of the traditional “Bessie Smith Strut” on M.L. King Boulevard, as part of the Riverbend Festival every year, has been the promotion of good will and the generation of “happy times” for all of the participants in the Chattanooga community. So it is deeply regrettable that current plans to move the Strut from King Boulevard to the Tennessee riverfront have stirred heated controversy, frustration and ill will — all quite contrary to the original intent. Many people obviously are greatly upset about the change. Some have engaged in heated demonstrations to express their disappointment. Instead of promoting good will and a good time, the decision to change the site has generated unfortunate bad feelings. City Councilman Andraé McGary, who represents the city district in which the Strut traditionally has been held, has called for the subject to be put on the next City Council agenda, in the form of a resolution that would back the M.L. King Merchants Association to host the event. But the issue already has caused unfortunate emotional damage. There obviously is no good solution. The controversy never should have occurred. But it is very important for all Chattanoogans to avoid letting this become a matter of lasting divisiveness and ill will. Romney closer to GOP win While we have known all along that President Barack Obama is going to be the Democrats’ nominee to run for a second term as president of the United States, the Republican nomination is still “iffy”— but maybe less so now. As Mitt Romney picked up three more Republican presidential primary wins in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia last week, he took a substantial delegate lead over his closest challenger, Republican presidential hopeful, Rick Santorum. Romney won at least 74 delegates in the three contests, with 21 delegates yet to be allocated, according to The Associated Press. That gave Romney at least 646 GOP delegates, with 1,144 needed to win the Republican presidential nomination. Santorum has 272 delegates, while Newt Gingrich has 135, and Ron Paul has 51. “It ain’t over till it’s over,” according to the familiar saying. But the contest obviously is much closer to a decision, as the other GOP hopefuls seem nearly out of gas. Are you encouraged about the possibility of having Obama in the White House for four more years, or would you prefer to see Romney or Santorum as the next president of the United States? We get to decide in November! $100 million bad sewer news We really don’t like to think about sewers at all. But all of us surely realize that sewer service is very important for the health of all of us and for our highly populated community. We must have good and adequate sanitary sewers. But few subjects are less popular for us to face, discuss — and finance — than sewers. We all want sewers to be good, but we just prefer not to even think about them — or pay for them. So it is unfortunate that we now are forced to face the prospect of needing to spend $100 million or more for sanitary sewer improvements in our Chattanooga community to ensure general good community health. The Tennessee Clean Water Network has filed a complaint against Chattanooga, citing Clean Water Act violations. “We’re looking at it as a huge community problem,” Chris Clem, the attorney for the wastewater authority, has told Hamilton County commissioners. He said enforcement of the regulations is “very heavy-handed and serious.” The needed upgrades could require $100 million for solutions over the next five to seven years. Who’ll pay? Of course, “we” will. Sewer service charges are included in our local water bills. Exactly how much will the system improvements cost? “We’re not willing to discuss that at this stage,” City Attorney Mike McMahan said. “We’re not even willing to say what our wild guess is.” So we have a warning, and the bad news, but don’t know “how much” yet. And we can’t escape it. COMMENTARY Obama’s enthusiasm gap The conventional wisdom in Washington, D.C., is even more demented than usual in its confident prediction of a Barack Obama victory. The fact is that a careful analysis of the polling suggests Dick that he faces Morris the likelihood that his political base will underperform in the 2012 election, voting with their feet by staying home. An enthusiasm gap is hurting Obama’s candidacy and his re-election chances. Realclearpolitics.com helpfully lists all of the test matchups between Obama and Mitt Romney. Of the last 12 polls — going back to March 11 — 10 tested their relative strength among registered voters. The average of these 10 polls gave Obama a 49-42 advantage, a comfortable margin of victory of 7 points. But the two polls during this period which tested likely voters — one by Bloomberg on March 11 and one by Rasmussen on April 1 (but not an April Fool’s joke) both showed a tie race. Bloomberg had it 45-45, while Rasmussen showed it deadlocked at 47-47. All Democrats do better than Republicans when adults or registered voters are sampled, as opposed to likely voters. Those who tend not to vote are usually more downscale in income and education and more likely to vote Democratic. But the gap between ■ An enthusiasm gap is hurting Obama’s candidacy and his reelection chances. registered voters and likely voters is rarely so large. In the Clinton campaign of 1996, for example, the gap was rarely more than a few points. The huge difference facing Obama based on whether the sample is of registered or likely voters — a seven point victory in one and a tied race in the other — underscores the president’s biggest problem: motivating his supporters to get out and vote. Essentially, Obama’s 2008 victory was based on a trio of high turnouts among African-Americans, Latinos and young people. While his ratings among blacks are still very high and he is likely to continue to get almost all of their votes, it is an open question whether he will be able to increase their turnout as dramatically as he did last time. In the election of 2008, blacks cast 14 percent of the vote, far above their usual 11 percent. Among Hispanics, Obama is in serious trouble. While he won two-thirds of their votes in ’08, Rasmussen now shows just 41 percent approving of his job as president. And among voters under 30, Obama is also unlikely to be able to replicate his ’08 showing. Rasmussen has him drawing only 54 percent approval — with only 22 percent strongly approving of his performance as presi- dent, far below the 67 percent vote share he drew among the young in ’08. Obama clearly recognizes his situation and is featuring policies meant to appease and energize his sagging base. From his intervention in the Florida shooting of an unarmed teenager to his new immigration policies and his focus on student loans, the president is trying to bridge the enthusiasm gap that threatens to doom his candidacy. Conversely, the evidence suggests that white middleaged and elderly voters are champing at the bit to vote to oust Obama from the Oval Office before he can inflict more damage on this country. And all of these stats beg the fundamental question of where the undecided votes will go. A careful analysis of all the undecided votes in all the presidential elections since 1960 in which an incumbent was seeking a second term shows that 80 percent of those who were undecided in the final Gallup poll voted for the challenger even when he was losing the contest badly. While Barry Goldwater, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Bob Dole and John Kerry were badly defeated in their challenges to Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, they all drew the vast bulk of the undecided vote. So when Obama gets 45 percent of the likely voters, the evidence would suggest that he is headed for a sizable defeat. Creators Syndicate The death of Mrs. G Although we all know that death is inevitable, we are still seldom fully prepared for the death of someone who has been important in our lives. So it was with the recent death of Dr. Marie D. Gadsden, Thomas at the age of Sowell 92. Mrs. Gadsden’s only official connection with me was that she taught me freshman English at Howard University, more than half a century ago. But she and Professor Sterling Brown were my two idols when I was a student there — and both remained so for the rest of my life. Mrs. G, as I came to call her in later years, was not only a good teacher, and a demanding teacher, but also one with kindness toward her students. I can still remember one very rainy night when a young lady from her class and I were walking up the street together from Howard University, when a car suddenly pulled over to the curb, a door was flung open and we were invited to get in. It was Mrs. Gadsden. When I decided that I wanted to transfer to Harvard, both Mrs. G and Sterling Brown wrote strong letters of recommendation for me — letters that may have had more to do with my getting admitted than my mediocre grades, as a night student who was carrying too many courses for someone who worked full time during the day. Mrs. G put me in touch with a lady she knew in Cambridge, who rented me a room, and also put me in touch with a lovely young woman who was a student at Radcliffe. Mr. ■ Mrs. G, as I came to call her in later years, was not only a good teacher, and a demanding teacher, but also one with kindness toward her students. Washington at this time, and who knew this girl and her family back in Guinea. “So you think she’s going to fail the course?” Mrs. G asked. “Well, she’s not going to learn the material. Whether I can bring myself to give her an F is something else. That’s really hitting somebody who’s down.” “You’re thinking of passing her, even if she does not do passing work?” Mrs. G said sharply. She reminded me that I had long criticized paternalistic white teachers who passed black students who should have been failed — and she let me have it. “I’m ashamed of you, Tom. You know better!” Now it seemed as if I could neither pass nor fail this young African woman. In desperation, I began to meet with her in the office for an hour before every class to try to bring her up to speed. At first, it didn’t look like these private lessons were doing any good, but one night she finally began to grasp what economics was all about, and she even smiled, for the first time. The young woman from Guinea did B work from there on out — and I was tempted to give her a B. But her earlier failing grades could not be ignored, and averaging them in made her grade a C. When I saw Mrs. Gadsden later, she said, “Our friend was overjoyed at getting a C in your course! She was proud because she knew she earned every bit of it.” That was the Mrs. G I knew. And I never expect to see anyone like her again. Gadsden, her husband whom I had come to know by this time, said to me: “Oh, Tom, now she is picking out your women for you!” He had a great sense of humor. In the decades that followed, Mrs. Gadsden and I remained in touch, usually by mail, even after we were both long gone from Howard University. Since she had many sojourns overseas, her letters often came from exotic places, principally in Africa. She was my most important confidante, and her wise words helped me through many tough times in my personal life, as well as in my professional career. She encouraged my work, celebrated my advancement and, where necessary, criticized my shortcomings. All of it helped me. At one point, I returned to Howard University to teach for a year. Among my students was a young African woman who had studied under Mrs. Gadsden in Guinea. This young lady, just recently arrived in the United States, seemed almost frightened by it — and by my economics class, which met two hours every night during the six weeks of summer school. The class was moving ahead at a rapid pace and, when this young African woman fell behind, I knew it would be very hard for her to catch up. She failed the first two weekly Creators Syndicate tests and, when I spoke with her about it after class, she was thoroughly embarrassed and quietly began to cry. Thou shalt not commit I then went to see Mrs. Gadsden, who was back in adultery. Exodus 20:14 Bible Wisdom ... .

From a no-hitter to no relief. Chattanooga’s Matt Magill pitched five hitless innings in his Double-A debut on a gorgeous Easter afternoon at AT&T Field, but the bullpen unraveled in a 7-4 loss to the Tennessee Smokies. Jon Michael Redding, Geison Aguasviva and Javier Solano combined to allow seven runs on 10 hits in the four innings following Magill. Lookouts relievers entered Sunday with a solid 2.20 earned run average. “Their stuff wasn’t as sharp as you would like to see it, but you’re going to have games like that,” Lookouts pitching coach Chuck Crim said. “We definitely made some bad pitches at times, but we also made some good pitches that didn’t go our way.” Redding replaced Magill in the sixth and quickly recorded two outs before allowing a walk to Logan Watkins and a bloop single to right by Jae-Hoon Ha. Justin Bour followed with a bouncer up the middle to tie the game 1-1, and then Matt Cerda ripped a triple to left-center that put the Smokies up 3-1. Chattanooga rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the bottom of the sixth with three runs, which included J.T. Wise’s home run to left-center, but the Lookouts (1-3) gave up Hubba Bubba Watson charges to Masters title Mickelson’s triple bogeys prove fatal By David Uchiyama Staff Writer AUGUSTA, Ga. — Bubba Watson is an artist and he paints with a wedge. His favorite color has been pink. He wore a white outfit with pink trim all this week at the Masters. He swung from the heels to pound out 300-yard drives with a pink driver. His favorite color is now green. Watson out-dueled Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a sudden death playoff to win his first green jacket after they tied at 10-under-par 278 in the 76th Masters. He won a few minutes before the sun set to the west behind the Georgia pines that had been alive with roars all afternoon — a typical Sunday at the Masters that lingered later into the evening dripping with drama. “I’ve never had a dream go this far,” said Watson, who played at the University of Georgia. “I dreamed about it. I just never made the putt.” Oosthuizen hit the most memorable shot of the tournament in the warmth of the afternoon when he scored the fourth double-eagle in Masters history, making a 2 on hole No. 2 from 260 yards out. Associated Press Photos Bubba Watson hugs his mother, Molly, after winning the Masters in a sudden death playoff. “When something like that happens early in your round, you think that this is it,” Oosthuizen said. “That was my first double-eagle ever. It was tough the next five holes to just get my head around it and play the course.” Watson eventually overcame the double-eagle not with power, or even accuracy, but artistry. Watson’s drive on the second playoff hole sailed right and into pinestraw 153 yards from the center of the green. Watson had no direct line to the 10th green or the flagstick. So the lefty hooked a 52-degree wedge through See MASTERS, Page C4 AUGUSTA, Ga. — Before this Masters, early last week when the talk was Tiger’s return or Rory’s welcome back, Phil Mickelson was asked what it would mean to win his fourth green jacket. “It would mean a lot,” Mickelson said, Jay overstating the Greeson obvious. Commentary Asked if he’d care to expound on that answer considering a win would be Mickelson’s fourth Masters title — the same number as Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer — Lefty paused. “It would mean an awful lot,” Mickelson said wryly, drawing laughter and smiles from everyone within ear shot.

Predators look to clip Red Wings on home ice By Teresa M. Walker The Associated Press NASHVILLE — The Nashville Predators finally have finished ahead of Detroit for the first time as a franchise. Now the Predators’ challenge is doing something with home-ice advantage. The Predators open the postseason Wednesday night against the Red Wings — the Central Division foe they’ve measured themselves against since their first season in 1998-99. So maybe it’s only appropriate the Predators start this postseason against Detroit in the first step of what they hope is a deep run. “Every time you get to the playoffs, it’s a new season,” Nashville defenseman Ryan Suter said, “We’re excited about it. If we can get everyone on the same page, pulling the rope the same way, I feel like we have a good chance to do something special.” First, the Predators must show they can keep homeice advantage after finishing fourth in the Western Conference for the third time in seven playoff berths. Nashville lost to San Jose in 2006 and 2007 as the No. 4 seed, losing in five games to the San Jose Sharks each time. The Predators even had Peter Forsberg and Paul Kariya in 2007 and couldn’t advance. This will be the third time Nashville has played the Red Wings in the playoffs, and the Predators lost in six games in both 2004 and 2008 when Detroit had home-ice advantage. Nashville coach Barry Trotz said Sunday he sees a difference in this team and those that couldn’t take See PREDATORS, Page C3 The Associated Press Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne, of Finland, center, will try to help the Predators top Detroit in the NHL playoffs. ■ To contact Sports • Phone: 423-757-6273 • Fax: 423-668-5049 • Email: [email protected] See LOOKOUTS, Page C6 Benefit of age aids UT Palermo gives Vols voice of experience By Patrick Brown Staff Writer KNOXVILLE — His shirt was drenched in sweat. The worn orange baseball cap resting gently on his head was in a similar state. There was a touch of exhaustion in his voice. John Palermo spent the morning his 60th birthday on the practice field for his first spring practice as Tennessee’s defensive line coach. Nearly two weeks later, the Volunteers’ most senior assistant readily admitted he’s just trying to catch his breath. “I’d say I’m definitely old John Palermo school,” he said last week. “They’re killing me right now. Look at me. They’re wearing me out. “You know what, I don’t know that it’s more than I expected, but I’ve got to tell you this: the tempo here, in my 38 years of coaching, is about twice as fast as it’s been at any place I’ve ever coached.” Given where Palermo’s coached in his nearly 40year career, that’s a telling statement. After one season as Austin Peay’s head coach, the veteran coached Wisconsin’s defensive lineman for 15 seasons (1991-2005). Following single-season stints at Tennessee Tech and Miami (FL), Palermo went to the NFL for two seasons with the Washington Redskins, then spent the last two seasons at Middle Tennessee State. And that’s just the second half of his resume, one that made him an attractive option for Sal Sunseri. “He’s been to places,” UT’s new defensive coordinator said. “He’s been to Wisconsin, where they went to the Rose Bowl I don’t how many times, but a lot of times. He was with Lou Holtz, who’s won a national championship [at Notre Dame]. “I’m a believer in old school. You’ve got to come out here and you’ve got to demand that they do it right. John, I know because of our experiences working together in the National Football League, he knows how to get the kids to do it right, he knows how to teach them to be successful and he knows more importantly that if they listen to him, they’re going to have a chance.” Palermo admits he’s demanding as a coach, but he’s not that way all the time.

Smith confirmed Saturday night that he will be one of two assistants for head coach Basheer Abdullah, the recently retired head of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program for boxing and the Team USA boxing head coach at the 2004 Athens games and technical advisor at the 2008 Beijing games. Abdullah has been called on to replace Joe Zanders, who was removed from his Team USA position just over a month ago and given a paid job with USA Boxing. The U.S. Olympic Committee has taken over the running of the country’s boxing effort in the London Olympics, which begin in late July. Zanders had been criticized for hiring an assistant coach, Ron Simms, who has been removed from that job. Smith, 30, will be going to Los Angeles this week for a training camp and then to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the Americas competition the first week of May. He works for the Chattanooga YMCA’s Y-CAP program with his father, Joe, who was the team manager for the U.S. boxing team in the Beijing Olympics. “I’m very proud of Andy. How many fatherson combinations have been involved in the Olympic movement from Chattanooga, Tennessee?” Joe Smith said Saturday from Montreal, where he was team manager for the 10-fighter U.S. contingent that won six gold, one silver and two bronze medals Saturday in the women’s Continental Championships. The younger Smith also is a football assistant coach for McCallie School. “Back in 2008 I did some preparation camps before Beijing, and Coach Abdullah told me then that if he ever was the U.S. coach again, he would like to get me involved,” Andy Smith said. “I guess he liked how I worked with kids. “We’ll see what happens. I’m very excited about it.” AROUNDTHEREGION Warm again sets Sewanee record Sewanee freshman Sally Warm reset her school high jump record in BirminghamSouthern’s three-team Hilltop Twilight Classic on Saturday. Warm, a former Baylor School athlete, finished second in the 100-meter hurdles and fourth in the 100 dash and won the high jump by more than a foot when she cleared the bar at 5 feet, 6 inches. Sewanee’s Caroline Roberts was second in the 400 hurdles and third behind teammate Cara Martin in the 1500 run, where the Tigers also took the next three places, Faith Spencer was third in the 200 and the 400 and Sheldon Mills was third in the women’s 800. For the Sewanee men, Josh Hirakawa won the 110 hurdles, Thomas Walters was second in the pole vault, Robert Waterhouse was second in the 100, Miller Thornbury was second in the 800, Tyler Wilcox was the 5000 runnerup, Wilson DeLaney and Peter Sidrys were second and third in the 200, Clay Bond and Hudson Robb were second and third in the 1500 and DeLaney headed a third-to-seventh Sewanee finish in the 400. ■ Former Red Bank High School standout Amber Dandy of Middle Tennessee State was 10th in the long jump in the Tiger Track Classic on Saturday at Auburn. The freshman was one of three Blue Raiders in that event’s top 10, headed by winning senior Nyeisha Wright. SOFTBALL ■ Hixson is hosting Ooltewah in a “Pink Out” softball game today with proceeds going to the Mary Ellen Locher Scholarship Fund, a local charity that helps students who have had a parent diagnosed with breast cancer. The game is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Hixson coach Jayme Putman said a brief ceremony will take place before the game with players making a dedication to someone stricken with breast cancer. Pink roses will be presented to survivors or placed in a basket in memory of the others. Ooltewah volleyball coach Elaine Peigen, a Hixson graduate and a breast-cancer survivor, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

The Razorbacks returned to the field Friday, less than 24 hours after the coach was placed on paid leave following the revelation he had lied about being alone during a motorcycle accident last weekend. This may have appeared to be a normal practice at Razorback Stadium. Of course, it was anything but without the coach who has turned Arkansas into a national contender over the past four seasons. Several hundred fans watched from the stands, their cheers noticeably reserved. Arkansas athletic director Jeff long placed Petrino on leave Thursday night. The move came after Petrino told Long he had initially lied about the presence of 25-yearold football department employee Jessica Dorrell during the accident. The 51-year-old coach, married with four children, also admitted to a “previous inappropriate relationship.” Long said Saturday he expected to review Petrino’s conduct on Easter Sunday. He didn’t hide his disappointment in Petrino when announcing the paid leave Thursday. Now he must decide whether to fire the coach or keep him with some other punishment. Acting head coach Taver Johnson, who was put in charge of the program by Long, withheld immediate judgment. “Disappointment, I’m not sure,” Johnson said. “Again, you don’t know all the facts, you don’t have all the information. So, until you have all those things, you can’t really pass judgment. “The players, I think they’re along the same lines. Nobody really knows, so you can’t really answer a ton of questions yet until you find out.” Arkansas entered the spring with high expectations after going 11-2, finishing with a No. 5 ranking and beating Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl. The team’s only losses last season were to the top two teams in the country, Alabama and LSU. Coming back are senior quarterback Tyler Wilson and junior running back Knile Davis. Wilson and Davis considered entering the NFL draft before deciding to return. They did so with their sights set on both Southeastern Conference and national championships. Players weren’t allowed to talk with the media following Friday’s practice. Johnson, hired from Ohio State in January, said before practice that the team held a meeting and it was “business as usual.” “Throughout spring, our main focus has been the football team,” he said. “So nothing has changed in that regard.” Johnson went through similar turmoil last season with the Buckeyes, who were dealing with a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that eventually cost coach Jim Tressel his job. He was retained on Ohio State coach Urban Meyer’s new staff before leaving for the Razorbacks — joining former Buckeyes assistant coach Paul Haynes. Johnson said he was prepared to step into for Petrino. The linebackers coach, however, couldn’t have expected to be put in such a difficult position when he was hired less than three months ago. “I really haven’t had much contact with coach,” Johnson said. “I know he’s hurting internally, so I really haven’t had much conversation there. However, our conversations leading up to this day, we all understand the expectations and the goals that we’ve set out for our team. That will definitely exude through all of us.” NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE By Jerome Pugmire The Associated Press ROQUEBRUNE, France — Having beaten Roger Federer’s Switzerland and France on the road, the U.S. Davis Cup team now awaits a more daunting obstacle — defending champion Spain in the semifinals. Former University of Georgia star John Isner sent the Americans into the next round by winning Sunday’s opening singles match — a 6-3, 7-6 (4) 5-7, 6-3 victory over sixth-ranked JoWilfried Tsonga of France. The U.S. is in the last four of the Davis Cup for the first time since 2008. “We’ve had the worst draw you could possibly imagine. I’m shocked that we’re still in the Davis Cup this year,” U.S. captain Jim Courier said. “We’re going to be the underdog in Spain, but we’re going to come with guns blazing.” Isner won both his singles in style, dispatching Gilles Simon on Friday and refusing to get rattled against Tsonga. Simon beat 19-year-old Ryan Harrison 6-2, 6-3 in Sunday’s last match to make the final score 3-2. In other quarterfinals, host Czech Vols • Continued from Page C1 “Once I get them to understand what they’re supposed to do,” he explained, “then I become real hard on them. Until that point, until they understand what they have to do, then I don’t feel like I’m that hard on them. You’re still in the teaching process. “I think it’s too early overall to give you a general statement. I would tell you this: some guys have responded well, and some guys have gone into the jar a little bit and have to be able to overcome that. If they overcome me in practice, they ought to be able Predators • Continued from Page C1 advantage of starting the playoffs on home ice in 2006 and 2007. “Back when we played the Sharks, there was it seemed like a lot more pressure back then,” Trotz said. “I don’t know if we knew how to deal with it, yet we had a great season. But I don’t know if we were built for the playoffs or understood the ‘Wow’ factor of the playoffs. The game’s going to get ramped up to just an unbelievable level. If you haven’t experienced it, it really can Republic topped Serbia 4-1 and host Argentina beat Croatia 4-1. The semifinals are in September. Just like four years ago, the Americans beat the French to set up a series against Spain. That time, Spain won 4-1 at home on clay. Whether Rafael Nadal plays for Spain, Courier expects an intense series. “Anytime you step on the court against Spain they’re tough. They beat us at home last year without Rafa, on hard court, indoors,” he said. “They have been the best team in the world for the past decade.” But Courier did not expect to beat Switzerland, either. And the Americans romped 5-0. “At the beginning of the year it was my hope that we could stay in the world group because Switzerland away, you think you’ll probably lose that match,” he said. “Spain, we’ll probably lose it on paper ... but we don’t play them on paper. We’ve got players who are capable, passionate and hungry.” Isner certainly is. “People didn’t think we could beat Switzerland. I’m sure there were some people who didn’t think we could to overcome anything in the game.” Though he’s jumping from the Sun Belt Conference to the SEC, Palermo is no stranger to big-time football. Since beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant at North Carolina State in 1977, he’s coached at two Big Ten programs and won a national title with the Fighting Irish in 1988. Regardless of location, Palermo believes the basics of teaching fundamentals and physicality are the same. It’s what he’s brought to UT, even though it’s taking its toll on him. Defensive end Marlon Walls actually took some of the blame for it after the Vols’ scrimmage on Friday. Of course, be overwhelming.” Many of these Predators helped the franchise win its first postseason series last spring, beating Anaheim in six games. They then pushed Vancouver to six games in the second round. Nashville also added playoff experience by trading for defenseman Hal Gill and forward Andrei Kostitsyn from Montreal and forward Paul Gaustad from Buffalo before the deadline. “It just feels different,” Trotz said. These teams split the season series 3-3 with Nashville winning the last game 4-1 on March 30 in Detroit. Henrik Zetterberg said the Red Wings have known beat France,” Isner said. “The reason I played so well this weekend was because [beating] Roger in the first round was huge for me because prior to that I hadn’t really played that great in Davis Cup. Took a lot of pressure off me.” Serena wins Family Circle Cup At Charleston, S.C., Serena Williams capped a dominant week with another powerful performance to beat Lucie Safarova 6-0, 6-1 and capture her first clay-court tournament in four years at the Family Circle Cup on Sunday. Williams didn’t drop a set in five matches this week and lost only three games over the weekend, dispatching Samantha Stosur, 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals before ousting Safarova. She hadn’t won a tournament on clay — or even gotten to a final on the surface — since taking the 2008 championship here. Williams has said throughout the week how comfortable she felt in her short time on clay this year. That showed against the 25-year-old Safarova, ranked 26th in the world. the rising junior couldn’t contain a wide smile at his coach’s perspiring predicament. “I guess the mistakes, man,” Walls said. “He’s old school, and he’s got a little age on him. Don’t tell him I said that. I think we’re making him a little bit older faster than he wants to get. “That’s on us. A guy like me that calls himself a leader on the D-line, we’ve got to do better. I take full responsibility for making him older.” The Vols are still figuring out what they have on the defensive line as they mix and match who can play where in the trenches. When fall arrives, UT likely will need two junior college transfers in Darrington since that last game they had a pretty good chance of playing Nashville to start the postseason. Finishing fifth helped them avoid a trip out West to play Phoenix, so travel will not be a problem in this series. “Nashville’s a good team, they made some good moves in the end there at the trading deadline, got the player from Russia,” Zetterberg said of forward Alexander Radulov. “It’s going to be a tough series. Good goaltending, they play tight. We played them a lot so we know what to do.” Detroit coach Mike Babcock seems happiest at not having to travel. “We know Nashville good, Sentimore, who’s already on campus, and Daniel McCullers, who gets to campus in the summer, to contribute quickly. For now, though, Palermo, much like his players, is just trying to stay afloat amid the fast pace and heavy installation of a new scheme. “Sal is used to throwing all this stuff at them,” he said. “I’ve not done it that way before. There’s a method to the madness. There’s a rhyme and a reason to why we’re doing it. “It’s been different for me.

The Red Wings go into the postseason 2-6-2 in their last 10 road games. Nashville is pretty good at home too. The Predators ranked sixth in the league with a 26-10-5 record at Bridgestone Arena overall and 22-5-2 in their last 28 games.

In a release Sunday, the school said a “major announcement” involving the men’s basketball program would be made during a news conference this afternoon. There were no other specifics given in the release, but a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Johnson would be hired as Jim Christian’s replacement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement was made. The Horned Frogs are moving next season from the Mountain West Conference to the Big 12. Johnson had a 67-64 record in four seasons at LSU. He previously took Nevada and Stanford to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. GOLF SAN JACINTO, Calif. — Andres Gonzales completed a wire-to-wire victory Sunday in the Soboba Golf Classic, beating Andrew Svoboda by two strokes for his first Nationwide Tour title. Gonzales closed with an even-par 71 to finish at 8under 276 on The Country Club at Soboda Springs. The 28-year-old former UNLV player earned $135,000. Former Baylor School and Vanderbilt golfer Luke List shot a final-round 69 to finish tied for ninth and earn $20,250. CYCLING ROUBAIX, France — Belgian rider Tom Boonen won the Paris-Roubaix race for a record-tying fourth time, successfully breaking away from the pack about 35 miles from the end of Sunday’s one-day classic. The 2005 world champion crossed the finish line alone, before five chasing riders had reached the velodrome in the northern French town of Roubaix. Boonen shook four fingers over his head as he crossed the line in front of a cheering crowd, in celebration of his tying the record four victories in cycling’s toughest one-day race set by his countryman Roger de Vlaeminck in the 1970s. Wire Reports convert 22.9 percent. The Predators also have the NHL’s winningest goalie this season in Pekka Rinne, who went 43-18-8. Rinne said he’s looking forward to the chance of starting against the Red Wings at home after a 6-1 win Saturday night in Colorado. “That’s going to be a great series,” Rinne said. “I think we have a pretty good rival- ry going on with them. Just looking forward to that. It’s going to be a different world from the regular season. I can’t wait to start with it.” His coach agrees, even if being at home is best if a series goes seven games. Trotz said he is “very confident we can win in any building in the league, and I know we can win in this building.” SUN SPA K&M MASSAGE Oriental Massage 103 Catoosa Street Rossville, GA / Chattanooga OPEN 7 DAYS 706-866-0111 In REMCO Business Center I-75 Exit 348 Ringgold, GA 34310554 U.S. tops France in Davis Cup Atlantic Division 34323089 The Associated Press John Isner returns the ball to French tennis player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the United States’ quarterfinal win over France in Davis Cup action Sunday.

SHOT OF THE DAY The Associated Press Former Nashville golfer Brandt Snedeker finished the Masters with a 1 over par on Sunday to tie for 19th place. Garcia giving up? Spaniard says he doesn’t think he can win a major By David Uchiyama Staff Writer Louis Oosthuizen throws his ball to a spectator after hitting a double eagle. Duh. Louis Oosthuizen’s historic double-eagle on No. 2 is an easy choice. He holed out from 260 yards on the par-5 second, becoming only the fourth player to record a double-eagle in the Masters and the first at the second hold. Gene Sarazen was the first player to notch a double-eagle in the Masters, making a 2 at No. 15 in what was dubbed “The Shot Heard Around the World.” Considering the media coverage, it’s fair to say that Oosthuizen’s was “The Shot Seen Around the World.” BEST AND WORST ■ Best way to finish: Adam Scott, last year’s runner-up, posted a final-round 66 and did not need his putter on Nos. 16 or 17. Scott made a 1 on 16 and chipped in for birdie on the following hole. He finished at 4 under. ■ Best sign Augusta is in SEC football country: After winning the Masters for his first major, former UGA golfer Bubba Watson addressed the crown after his win with, “Go Dawgs.” He then thanked Jesus Christ. ■ Best round you didn’t see: Bo Van Pelt was sublime Sunday, carding a final-round record of 64. He had four birdies and two eagles — including an ace on No. 16 — to go from 7 over to 1 under. ■ Worst way to finish: Second-round co-leader Jason Dufner was in the final group Saturday. After a 75 in the third round, Dufner matched it Sunday and finished 1 over. ■ Worst impression of a weekend hacker: Thirdround leader Peter Hanson completely shanked an 8iron off the tee on the par-3 12th. Hanson’s twisting mishit didn’t even make it to the famed Rae’s Creek. AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sergio Garcia has played in 51 consecutive majors. He’s 0-for-51 when it comes to winning and it sounds like he’s convinced the streak will continue. Garcia, one of the best players without a major on their resume, told reporters from his native Spain before Sunday’s final round he doesn’t have the game necessary to win. “I’m not good enough... I don’t have the thing I need to have,” Garcia said through translation. “In 13 years, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place.” Garcia finished runner-up in the 1999 PGA Championship, the 2007 British Open and the 2008 PGA Championship. Garcia was in contention to win his first major this weekend before shooting a 75 on Saturday and 71 on Sunday to finish tied for 15th at 2 under par. “I’m not good enough,” Garcia said. “I had my chances and opportunities, and I wasted them. I have no more options. I wasted my options.” Garcia echoed his pre-round sentiments on Sunday afternoon. “Do you think I lie when I talk?” Garcia said. “Everything I say, I say because I feel it. If I didn’t mean it, I couldn’t stand here and lie like a lot of the guys do. Masters • Continued from Page C1 a small gap in the trees, bending 40 yards in the air and onto the green where it trickled to within 15 feet — simply amazing and almost impossible to all. “We had 135 to the front and 164 to the hole and I hooked it about 40 yards — pretty easy,” Watson said. “I always want to attack. I want to hit the incredible shot.” He did, and it won the tournament as Oosthuizen had his own problems and tapped in for a bogey to clear the stage for Watson’s first major championship. Watson nudged his first putt close and the gallery started to rise in ovation. He gave a wave and asked them to hold on a minute so he could double-check the final 6-inch putt. He buried it. He cried on the shoulder of his mother, Molly, then embraced friends — and competitors — Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Aaron Baddeley. Chants of “Bubba, Bubba, Bubba” erupted as the celebration moved back up the 10th fairway and toward the green jacket ceremony after the ninth playoff in “If I felt like I could win, I would do it.” Sophomore earns low-am U.S. Amateur runner-up Patrick Cantlay won low-amateur honors at 7-over 295 after filling in a colorful Sunday scorecard. Cantlay shot an even-par 72 Sunday, but it was anything but a ho-hum round. He made two eagles, five birdies, six pars, three bogeys, one double-bogey and one quadruple bogey 9 at No. 13. From Nos. 11 through 17 he went, bogey, birdie, quad, double, eagle, birdie, birdie. “I wouldn’t have a sense of humor if I didn’t play my last five at 5 under,” said Cantlay, a sophomore at UCLA. “I learned a lot about the golf course, and the angles to play and places to hit it and not hit it. I think that’s really going to benefit me when I come back in the future.” Asian amateur champion Hideki Matsuyama (9 over) and U.S. Amateur champion Kelly Kraft (18 over) also made the cut. Stallings, Snedeker in top 30 Woods finishes early Pre-tournament favorite Tiger Woods never broke par in his four rounds at the Masters and finished in a tie for 41st at 5-over 293. He shot 74 on Sunday to conclude his worst Masters as a professional. “I didn’t hit the ball very good this week,” Woods said. “Unfortunately, it was a bad week for me this week.” Watson’s White-out Masters champ Bubba Watson’s score changed each day. But he wore the same attire for each round in order to raise awareness and money for charity. Watson, with the help of golfclothing line Travis Mathew, is raising money for Fresh Start, an organization that offers cosmetic reconstructive surgery to children with physical deformations. The white outfits are available at www.TravisMathew.com for $200. Couples complete Tennessee Tech graduate Scott Stallings shot a 1-over 73 on Sunday and finished his first Masters at 2 over and tied for 27th. Former Vanderbilt star Brandt Snedeker shot 1-over on Sunday and tied for 19th at even for the tournament. Fred Couples began Saturday afternoon in a tie for the lead. He finished Sunday evening tied for 13th 20 years after he won his only green jacket. “So for me, it’s a sad finish,” Couples said. “I’d like to have another round. But I’ll come back next year again.” tournament history since the Masters switched to sudden-death in 1976. “Major champion — think I’m done, right?” Watson said. “I mean, I can’t do any better than this.” Lee Westwood, Matt Kuchar, Peter Hanson and Phil Mickelson all tied for third at 8-under. Ian Poulter finished seventh. Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Padraig Harrington tied for eighth. Almost all of the golfers who began the day within five shots of the lead became a potential winner at some point. But they all fizzled — either due to the pressure or the difficulty of Augusta National. Hanson, the third-round leader, struggled early with bogeys on two of his first three holes. While he remained within striking distance through most of the afternoon, he never really threatened. “It was a pretty rough day,” Hanson said. “I think I ended up being too defensive with the putter.” Kuchar had a share of the lead at 9 under but bogeyed No. 16 after flaring his tee shot to the far right side of the green. Westwood, who led after the first day, shot 4 under Sunday and was the first player to post 8 under. But it wasn’t enough with Oosthuizen and Watson playing behind him. Mickelson, one of the pre-tournament favorites, began one shot behind Hanson. Mickelson triplebogeyed the par-3 fourth hole and could not recover. “It’s disappointing that I didn’t grab that fourth green jacket,” Mickelson said. “It was a fun day playing in the last group, a beautiful day at Augusta.” Watson began his charge with four straight birdies beginning on No. 13. He and Oosthuizen each parred the final two holes to set up their playoff. They both parred No. 18 on the first playoff hole and headed to No. 10 when Watson found himself working out of pinestraw and using the gallery to help line up his hook. “I’m used to the woods,” Watson said. “I’m used to the rough.” The final round was a beautiful day painted by a golfing artist wearing white and pink, and using cuts, fades, draws and hooks while picturing in his head a green jacket. “As an athlete, as a golfer, this is the Mecca,” Watson said. “This is what we strive for —to put on the green jacket.” Contact David Uchiyama at [email protected] or at 423-757-6484. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/UchiyamaCTFP. At this Masters, Mickelson was masterful, except when he wasn’t. And when he wasn’t he was, well a lot of awful. For 70 holes this week, Mickelson was the best player on the planet, and how dearly he would have loved to have been in a playoff on the majestic 18th, the hole he birdied Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But the tournament is 72 holes — or in this case 74 — and they count all of ’em. Mickelson made a triple bogey 7 on No. 10 Thursday, part of an erratic opening round that he seemed to battle through with the type of resiliency that is normally rewarded around these parts with new green coats. But his triple-bogey 6 at the long par-3 fourth hole was inexplicable. This was Mickelson’s Masters to lose, and the experienced veteran did just that in one flash Sunday. After his tee shot caromed off the grandstands, Mickelson was left with a nearly unplayable shot that forced him to make two swings right-handed, trying to punch out of the bushes down below the left-side of the green. “I felt like it was worth the risk,” Mickelson said about making a righthanded swing as opposed to going back to the tee box. “It may have cost me what, half a shot at the most?” Those fateful two triples proved to be Mickelson’s Waterloo. After bouncing back from the first, the second provided a speed bump too tall to allow any serious momentum. His undoing so thorough Sunday that he played nearly flawlessly other than that triple hiccup at No. 4, and all Mickelson could muster was to fight his way back to where he started the day at 8 under. Whether it would have been enough against the duel of contrasting styles between Louis Oosthuizen and Masters champ Bubba Watson that was happening in front of Mickelson is unknown. “I hit a ton of good shots; I just couldn’t get the ball in the hole to catch Louis and Bubba, who played some really good golf,” Mickeson said of the two guys who stole the show in the growing shadows amid these Georgia pines. Dressed in all-white with a supercharged hot-pink driver that was sending balls across area codes, Watson looked like part ice cream man and part home-run derby champ. Watson made his way into this back-nine freefor-all with four consecutive birdies, a prize fighter’s glare and a walk-off driver piped down the 18th fairway on the 72nd that set up the playoff with Oosthuizen. Unlike Mickelson, Watson was able to survive his mishaps, including a crooked drive on the 74th. He was left hugging half of the folks in Richmond County and crying unabashedly. “I never got this far in my dreams, where I had to talk,” said Watson, a University of Georgia product who proudly admits to have never taken a golf lesson, that his favorite club is his driver and unleashes a fearless approach that hinges on as long as he has a swing he has a shot. “I just kept my head down and knew there were some birdies out there. “We joke about it as ‘Bubba golf.’ I go for it. Seve went for it. Phil goes for it. That’s how I play the game.” For his part, Oosthuizen reportedly was super-charged before Sunday’s round after getting a note from legendary countryman Gary Player wishing him luck. Of course, we can only imagine that super-charged for Oosthuizen means the guy lovingly known as “Shrek” didn’t nod off after lunch. The guy was stoic, unflappable and unbelievable. After Oosthuizen made the first double-eagle on No. 2 in Masters history, he smiled and flipped the Titleist into the crowd. Sure he smiled, but it was double-eagle for crying out loud, and he shared a piece of Masters history like it was a Tuesday pro-am. His calm demeanor served him well through a back-nine that was filled with highlights and higher pressure, most of it applied by a free-wheeling lefty. It just wasn’t the lefty anyone expected, including Mickelson. “I’m certainly not satisfied just being in contention,” Mickelson said. “I love having the opportunity to win, to compete on Sunday, to come down the back nine with a chance to win the Masters. That’s what fun. “What will I take from this day? Third place. It’s not what I was hoping for.” BUBBA WATSON CARD OF THE DAY Bubba Watson, playing what he calls “Bubba golf” on the Augusta National course that sets up for him, played 20 holes Sunday at 4 under to win his first major championship NO. 1 TEA OLIVE Par 4, 445 yards Average: 4.387 (1st) 5 4 NO. 2 PINK DOGWOOD Par 5, 575 yards Average: 4.500 (17th) NO. 4 FLOWERING CRAB APPLE Par 3, 240 yards Average: 3.355 (2nd) 3 NO. 5 MAGNOLIA Par 4, 455 yards Average: 4.177 (8th) 4 NO. 3 FLOWERING PEACH Par 4, 350 yards Average: 3.823 (15th) 3 NO. 7 PAMPAS Par 4, 450 yards Average: 3.903 (14th) NO. 10 CAMELIA Par 4, 495 yards Average: 4.242 (5th) NO. 9 CAROLINA CHERRY Par 4, 460 yards Average: 4.210 (T-6th) 4 NO. 16 REDBUD Par 3, 170 yards Average: 3.145 (10th) 3 * Breakdown of holes: Hole name, par and yardage with average scores and rank (1st means the hardest Sunday, 18th means the easiest).

Staff Report The Associated Press Atlanta starting pitcher Mike Minor gave up six runs on six hits Sunday in the Braves’ 7-5 loss to the New York Mets. Braves swept away by Mets By Ronald Blum The Associated Press NEW YORK — The start of April has been a lot like the end of September for the Atlanta Braves. For six innings, Sunday’s series finale against the New York Mets resembled the first two games. After falling behind by seven runs, the Braves finally got their offense going late but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 7-5 loss. Atlanta is 0-3 for the first time since opening against Montreal in 2003 and only the second time since losing its first 10 games in 1988. “It’s never good to come into the season and get swept,” Brian McCann said. “Nobody in here is thinking about last year.” In case anyone forgot, the 1 Braves had a 10 ⁄2-game lead over St. Louis for the NL wild card in late August last year but went 9-18 in September and were eliminated on the final night of the regular season. In the series against the Mets, the Braves hit .151 with seven runs and 14 hits. “We’re fine,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “Four or five of those hits together, and we’ll be fine.” Mike Minor (0-1), who impressed the Braves by throwing 14 consecutive scoreless innings in his first four spring training starts, gave up six runs, six hits and four walks in fiveplus innings. “I felt good. One little hiccup that just kept on escalating,” Minor said. “It’s early. There’s plenty of season, plenty of games left.” Overpowering the Braves with a fastball that reached 93 mph, Jonathon Niese (0-1) benefited early from the wide strike zone of plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, who called out Michael Bourn and Martin Prado on strikes as Niese fanned the side in the third. McCann, the Braves’ catcher, didn’t think the strike zone was as big for Minor. “There were some very close calls that didn’t go his way,” he said. Niese took a no-hit bid into the seventh and retired 15 straight batters before Dan Uggla walked on 10 pitches and Freddie Freeman singled cleanly to right. Pitching for the first time since the Mets gave him a $25.5 million, five-year deal, Niese allowed just two balls out of the infield through six innings. Freeman singled on his 99th pitch. Niese lasted just two more batters. Right fielder Lucas Duda, looking into a sunny, cloudless sky, dropped Matt Diaz’s fly ball for a run-scoring error that made it 7-1, and Jason Heyward chased Niese with a two-run double. Pinch-hitter Jack Wilson added a sacrifice fly off Manny Acosta. McCann, who had been 0for-10 in the series, homered in the eighth over the newly pulled-in fence in right, a ball that likely would have been a flyout in previous seasons at Citi Field. “Nobody wants to go 0-forseries,” Gonzalez said. “Glad to see people getting going.” New York is 3-0 for the first time since opening with four wins in 2007. The Mets have a .320 batting average and a 1.67 ERA. “We’re excited — 3-0, man. You can’t draw it up any better than that,” Daniel Murphy said. Ruben Tejada had a careerbest four hits, and Frank Francisco became the first Mets reliever with saves in his first three games. COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tennessee’s baseball team went toe-to-toe with South Carolina this weekend. Given where the programs have been recently, it’s hard for the Volunteers to view a series loss as too much of a negative. The two-time defending national champion and 10th-ranked Gamecocks won Saturday and Sunday to take the series after UT’s surprising win in Friday night’s series opener. Despite taking one game, UT coach Dave Serrano was disappointed in Sunday’s performance. “I didn’t feel like we showed up with the energy and mental capacity to come out on top,” he said after South Carolina’s 6-1 seriesclinching win. “We didn’t do what we needed to do to come out on top in this series. “That’s what’s so disappointing for me, is the opportunity we had today to kind of separate ourselves from some of the teams in our division. We didn’t take advantage of it. It’s just going to make it harder for us down the line, and I just hope that we don’t look back and kick ourselves for the opportunity we had and didn’t take advantage of it.” UT (20-12, 6-6 SEC) scored just a run apiece on Saturday and Sunday. The Gamecocks (239, 5-7) scored four unearned runs in the fifth after pitcher Nick Williams’ throwing error on a bunt opened the door. Outfielder Chris Fritts’ solo home run was UT’s lone offense against Carolina starter Colby Holmes. Serrano called Saturday night’s walk-off 2-1 defeat a “tough loss,” though the Gamecocks left 15 runners on base during the first eight innings. L.B. Dantzler delivered the winning hit off UT reliever Carter Watson after a leadoff single, sacrifice bunt and wild pitch put the winning run on third. Freshman Will Maddox tripled to lead off the game and scored on Zach Luther’s groundout, though the Vols managed a season-low three hits. The Vols, who haven’t even made the SEC tournament in four years, battled back from a 4-3 deficit on Friday night with a run apiece in the eighth and ninth innings. Luther doubled and scored the tying run, and Zach Osborne scored the winning run when Carolina pitcher Matt Price caught Luther’s bunt before throwing wildly trying to double-up Osborne. Drew Steckenrider 1 homered and tossed 2 ⁄3 innings of two-hit, six-strikeout relief for the win. “We kind of overcame ourselves, and that’s what we’ve been doing lately,” Serrano said. “But I’m very proud of how we overcame.” The Vols travel to East Tennessee State on Wednesday before hosting top-ranked Florida for a weekend series. 1IN AMERICA * # STIHL IS THE NUMBER ONE SELLING BRAND OF GASOLINE-POWERED HANDHELD OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT IN AMERICA* *“Number one selling brand” is based on syndicated Irwin Broh Research (commercial landscapers) as well as independent consumer research of 2009-2011 U.S. sales and market share data for the gasoline-powered handheld outdoor power equipment category combined sales to consumers and commercial landscapers. Lookouts • Continued from Page C1 three runs in the seventh. The Smokies (3-1) collected three singles in the seventh and also benefited from a Wise error at first and from Aguasviva hitting a batter. “This team can hit,” said Travis Denker, who came off the bench to drive in two runs for the Lookouts. “We can pitch and play defense. We’re just starting off a little slow, and anything could have happened in those last couple of innings. “We’re about to get hot, and it’s going to be pretty scary.” Magill certainly wasn’t scared on the DoubleA stage, racking up two strikeouts in the f irst inning and two more in the second. The 22-yearold right-hander finished with six strikeouts before being pulled. “I was bummed about having to come out, but it was my first start of the season,” Magill said. “It felt really good. I was hitting spots, and I had great defense behind me.” Said Crim: “He was outstanding. He was locked in and making quality pitches for five innings, and it’s great for a young guy to come in and do that.” Lookouts manager Carlos Subero said after the game that starting pitcher Chris Withrow, who is missing this series with an abdominal injury, will not be available for the team’s first road series, which starts Tuesday in Jacksonville. Nathan Eovaldi, who started six games last season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is scheduled to start tonight’s 7:15 series finale for the Lookouts. Brooks Raley is scheduled to start for the Smokies.

The American Pet Products Association’s 2012 National Pet Owners Survey shows the popularity of smaller pets holding steady at 5 million here in the United States. Rabbits fall into the smallpet category. Vetstreet.com experts, veterinarians Patty Khuly and Marty Becker, said the commitment of ownership of a rabbit is similar to that of a dog. Rabbits, on average, live seven to 10 years. They have distinct personalities and enjoy being very interactive with people. They shouldn’t be cooped up in a cage all day and are active animals who need to be free to run, jump and play, the experts said.

Sunday’s Jumble: Answer: TOWARD MUSSEL LATELY PROPER When they put a wristwatch on the statue, — TIME STOOD STILL Ask Mr. Know-It-All By Gary Clothier Q: I hope you can solve a 60-year-old mystery for me. In the late 1940s, the war was over and I was in elementary school. There was a young, attractive Englishwoman who lived next to us. She was a member of some English espionage group, and she talked freely of her spy activities behind enemy lines. She said she was a piano player. As a kid I didn’t think much about this, but as I got older, I could not figure out what she actually did. Did the English have some type of USO that entertained troops? — E.T.N., Bristol, Tenn. A: It’s possible that she was a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The SOE was formed in 1940 by Winston Churchill to conduct acts of espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in Europe. It was Churchill’s plan that because of this underground activity, German troops would be pulled out of combat to guard railroad lines, bridges and tunnels. As the war progressed, the scope of the SOE expanded. As for your friend the piano player, “pianist” was a nickname for an SOE radio operator. Q: Where did the name Sasquatch originate? — V.G., Sedona, Ariz. A: “Sasquatch” is an anglicization of the Halkomelem word meaning “wild man.” Several sources indicate that Native American tribes have more than 60 different terms for Bigfoot.

Universal Press Syndicate that reads, “One to a cus- HEALTH Don’t let impetigo spread DEAR DOCTOR K: After a recent cross-country drive, staying in many roadside motels, I ended up with a skin infection called impetigo. Could I have gotten this infection in a motel? And how can I prevent it in the future? DEAR READER: It would be difficult for me to say for certain where you picked it up. Impetigo is a h i g h ly contagious bacterial Dr. K skin infecDr. Anthony tion. The Komaroff shorthand names for the two types of bacteria that cause impetigo are “staph” and “strep.” The same type of strep that causes strep throat can also cause impetigo. These bacteria can live on people’s skin without causing impetigo or any other visible signs. They also can live for short periods on upholstery, bed sheets, clothes and other objects a person may come into contact with. So it’s possible you were exposed to it during your travels, but it would be hard to pinpoint where or when. Impetigo is most common in children, but as you’ve discovered, it can also occur in adults. This is especially true of adults who have itchy skin conditions such as eczema. Other conditions that can increase your risk of developing impetigo include chickenpox, reactions to insect bites, burns of the skin and diabetes. Impetigo often appears around the nose and mouth, but it can develop wherever there’s an opening in the skin from cuts and scrapes or cold sores — anyplace bacteria can enter. Impetigo causes small bumps or blisters that burst. The skin is moist, tender and red, and oozes a clear liquid that eventually forms a crust. If the disease is more severe, you also may have a fever and swollen glands in your face or neck. When impetigo is caused by strep, a person can develop serious heart and kidney problems if it is not promptly treated. To prevent impetigo, start by keeping your skin clean by bathing or showering daily. If you have cuts or scrapes in your skin, or a poison ivy rash, make sure to keep the area clean and avoid scratching. Impetigo can spread from one area of skin to another. If you touch it, your fingers can pick up the infection. If you then touch another area of skin, you can spread the infection there. Another way to prevent spreading is to wash your pillowcases and sheets every day. To prevent the spread of impetigo to others, personal items such as soap and towels should be kept separate from other family members. Children who have impetigo should try to avoid contact with others until it clears up. Impetigo usually is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes a topical skin cream such as mupirocin (Bactroban) is prescribed. Covering the area with gauze and tape or a loose plastic bandage can help reduce the risk of spreading the infection to other parts of the body. For impetigo that affects a large area of skin, or for impetigo that causes little blisters, antibiotic pills are often used. Regardless of how you picked it up, what’s important is that you get the right treatment. FAITH Explore all the options Q: We’ve had a lot of heartache over our daughter, who’s now come home (after a year’s absence) and told us she’s pregnant. She doesn’t even know who the father is. I’ve never been in favor of abortion, but maybe that’s the best solution. What do you think? — Mrs. J.B. A: I pray you’ll urge your daughter not to end the life of her unborn child, in spite of the difficult circumstances your whole Billy Graham family is facing. All human life is sacred, and God’s words to Jeremiah apply to every person: ”Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart” (Jeremiah 1:5). Instead, encourage her to explore all options, even if some are hard. What seems to be the easy way out of a problem usually isn’t the right way — but the right way is always best, because it’s God’s way. Countless childless couples, for example, would be delighted to . timesfreepress.com ... Breaking News: 423-757-News adopt her child and give him or her a happy and loving home. Beyond this, however, I hope you’ll do all you can to let your daughter know you still love her. In addition, ask God to give you the wisdom to help her rebuild her life. Her life so far has been marked by bad decisions; now is the time to encourage her to make right decisions. But avoid harshness or anger; it could drive her away. The Bible says, ”A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). Above all, encourage her to seek God’s will for her life by putting her life into Christ’s hands and looking to him for guidance. God loves her in spite of her past, and will change her as she submits her life to him. c. Tribune Media Services Colorblocking makes a bold spring style statement By Samantha Critchell The Associated Press NEW YORK — Most of us can pair one bold color with another — it just takes a little confidence. But colorblocking, that’s more of an art, and it’s one to be mastered this spring season. The highest standard of colorblocking was set by Yves Saint Laurent, who transferred the graphic, popart look of painter Piet Mondrian onto fabric. The YSL look was an instant hit as it fit so nicely into the fresh, no-frills mod fashions of the mid-1960s. Since then, Lisa Perry, known for her bright trafficstopping color combinations on simple silhouettes, says the style has become a classic that sometimes hits as a bona fide trend. This is one of those years, she says. It’s part of a broader movement away from the earth tones that dominated runways and stores for a while. “I never consider it trendy because we’ve done it since season one. It happens to be a trend now because things go in cycles, so you’ll see it more and more. That’s great,” Perry says, “but I think it’s timeless and always looks good.” A general definition of colorblocking is the pairing of chunks of contrasting colors. Perry likes it all on a single garment — her specialty being a dress — while she calls an outfit of, say, a pink top, red pants and a blue belt more “color mixing.” But, she allows, it’s a fine line. Tana Ward, chief merchandising officer for American Eagle, which hopes to ignite this trend among younger shoppers who can be fearless when it comes to color rules, likes to see a rainbow of layers: a bandeau, a tank top over it and then the anorak or hoodie. Photos by The Associated Press Actress Elisha Cuthbert wears a dress featuring colorblocking with contrasting chunks of color.

You have to match colors, but the bottom line is fashion is looking your best. I looked up to my late father who taught me that no matter what you’re facing in life, your appearance means everything — from filling out applications for a job to being out in public. My mom has been an influence, too. In fact, she still buys clothes for me. She likes me to look good because it takes her back to looking at my dad back in the day.” Coogi hat — Gift Sunglasses — Gift Timex watch — Gift Shirt Ed Mann — $15.99 Shorts Ed Mann — $19.99 — Compiled by Karen Nazor Hill as the binding neutral color, especially with turquoise or hot pink which have a little bit of a tropical vibe, she says, and her best-selling dress is black with hot-pink pockets. Barneys New York devoted a good chunk of real estate (and some of its famous Madison Avenue windows) to these playful looks. One of the key colors is mint green, says Amanda Brooks, the retailer’s former fashion director. It can be the bridge to either pastels or surf-inspired neons, she says. All of these notice-me colors are good for business, she adds. “A lot of customers are drawn into stores and to racks with color. No one would walk up to a rack of black.” What combination will she be wearing? Tonal shades, such as red with fluorescent pink. She’ll probably go for a dress because there’s less legwork in putting it all together, Brooks says, and if you add gray, white or beige as a third color in the mix then it makes it easier to find complementary accessories. Giovanna Randall, founder and designer of the collection Honor, sometimes uses color to carve out a mood. In this year’s late winter and early spring it was a lot of yellow-and-white combinations to offset the gray and brown landscape. In the fall, when the leaves are all those shades of brown and orange, she pulls out bright raspberry and pairs it with deep jewel tones. Her runway looks for fall featured chunks of royal blue and purple set against black, which should take out the color fear factor for just about everyone. “I hardly ever think about things in such a deliberate way as ‘colorblocking,’ but I do love mixing colors,” Randall says. Lions clubs taking Vidalia onion orders Staff Report Boynton and Ringgold, Ga., Lions clubs are taking orders for Vidalia onions, which will be ready for pickup at the end of April.

Welcome to ‘Hotel Impossible’ CHEAP COMEDY BATTL LAFAY CLEVE RINGD DALTN CHATT You don’t have to be ItalianAmerican to chafe at the mindless stereotyping of the ethnicity that’s seemingly everywhere on cable television. “Mama’s Tune In Tonight By Kevin McDonough LATE NIGHT ■ Tim Weiner is scheduled on “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” (11 p.m., Comedy Central). ■ Cory Monteith, Matt Kemp and Tim Minchin appear on “Conan” (11 p.m., TBS). ■ Jay Leno welcomes Jane Lynch, Kevin Hart and Esperanza Spalding on “The Tonight Show” (11:35 p.m., NBC). ■ LL Cool J and James Van der Beek appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (midnight, ABC). ■ Kevin Kline, Steve Harvey and Pulp visit “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” (12:35 a.m., NBC). ■ Craig Ferguson hosts Billy Gardell and Ian Gomez on “The Late Late Show” (12:35 a.m., CBS). CULT CHOICE It follows five larger-than-life guys who conduct a rather brazen bachelor lifestyle and then return home to live with their mothers, who dote on them with bowls of ravioli when not doing their laundry. The soundtrack consists of antediluvian pizza parlor music. If these guys only settled down with the vulgar harpies on Oxygen’s “Brooklyn 11223,” both shows might disappear. For all of their bluster, the “Mama’s Boys” are more than slightly sad. All seem well beyond their 30th birthdays. Speaking of decades, nearly 60 years ago, writer Paddy Chayefsky wrote a teleplay for “The Goodyear Television Playhouse” called “Marty.” It was about a lonely butcher from the Bronx who lived with his mother and only found happiness when he dispensed with the macho bravado of his “crew” and fell for a girl as plain as himself. The 1955 film adaptation of that teleplay won a Best Actor Oscar for Ernest Borgnine. “Marty” was filled with pathos. “Mama’s Boys” is played as cheap comedy. And that’s the tragedy of our times.

The throbbing, tension-manufacturing music is all but stolen from “The Apprentice” — and that show’s score was hardly original. Melchiorri also speaks or, rather, lectures viewers, hotel owners and workers in a blunt “I’ve seen it all” style not unlike Donald Trump’s. Although Melchiorri projects a certain head-shaven intensity, he never erupts into angry obscenity like Ramsay or struts with Trump’s ridiculously pompous self-regard. He is, in short, a patient teacher and a good manager, someone who recognizes and nurtures talent and potential. You’ll walk away from the show wishing you had a boss like him. First up on “Hotel Impossible,” is Gurney’s Inn, located in Montauk, N.Y. A famous, yet faded hotel whose decor and management style appear to be stuck in the 1970s. 12.1 CBS WDEF 12.2 TUFF WDEF 18.1 PBS 23.1 TBN 23.2 Church 23.3 JCTV 23.4 Enlace 23.5 Smile 39.1 WYHB 45.1 PBS WTCI 45.2 Create 53.1 CW WFLI 53.2 MeTV WFLI 61.1 FOX WDSI 61.2 MNT A&E AMC ANPL BET BRAVO CMT CNBC CNN COM CSPAN CSPAN2 CSSE DISC E!

She only says that it’s one of the shows he directs regularly. Frakes — the TV and film director and actor who will be forever famous to “Star Trek: The Next Generation” fans as Cmdr. William Riker — has directed Mrs. Frakes before, including a turn in the current “Bar Karma.” “It comes down to whether my show will allow me the time off. We’ll know in the next week or two,” she says. “Y and R” arranged for Genie to have time away to film her May 13 Hallmark Channel Original Movie “Notes from the Heart Healer,” but as she points out, “I had the movie before I got ‘Young and the Restless,’ so 9:30 The Voice The top vocalists from each team compete. 'TVPG' (N) Sanford Sanford All in Family All in Family Dancing With the Stars 'TVPG' (N) Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith Entertainment they knew about it.” The movie is a worthy follow-up to her first two very successful “The Note” films. This time around, Genie’s columnist character Peyton MacGruder and her new husband (Ted McGinley) have their world turned upside-down when a desperate young mother leaves her baby on their doorstep. “They had plans to do the third one for quite a while,” says Genie. “They had the concept almost immediately after the second one,” which debuted in 2009. Will there be a fourth? “I heard at one point that this is the final movie, and then I heard that it wasn’t, that there might be more. I don’t know. Perhaps they’re considering how it does in the ratings.” She’d like to do more, she tells us: “I’m always happy to go to work.” To find out more about Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith and read their past columns, visit the Creators Syndicate web page at www.creators.com. c.

Kristen Stewart 'TV14' D6 • Monday, April 9, 2012 • • • Style Q&A with Karen Kane Staff Writer Designer Karen Kane’s path to success began 32 years ago in the garage of her Studio City, Calif., home. “We started with a small line of 14 pieces — all in one fabric, four colors,” Kane said, in a telephone interview. “We found a rep and started selling at local boutiques. I sewed all the time. We’d get an order, and I’d make each piece.” Though she now has plenty of help, she is still very much hands-on. No design goes out the door without her first trying it on, she said. Recently, she spoke about her design process, her early interest in sewing and how she cultivated that talent. An edited version of the conversation follows. Designer Karen Kane uses a revolving palette of colors for her clothing line. She will visit Chattanooga May 3 for StyleWorks. Your fashions are popular with women of all ages. Do you have particular ages of customers in mind when you design new styles? It just turns out that way. Comfort is key. I want things to be comfortable, and that crosses over to all ages. Do you follow color forecasts from companies such as Pantone or go with your own instincts? I do whatever I am inspired to do. I look at the history at what my customers like and what colors, fabrics and prints have sold well in the past. Q A Q How often do you turn out new merchandise? A Association, said she likes the designs because they are casual but still stylish. “I’m really not a jean person, so on weekends I like comfort with style, and Karen Kane can give you that. She always has great colors for a bright, fun look or the sophisticated look of black and white,” Hood said. All funds raised at StyleWorks go directly to the programs and services at the Institute, which has been helping children in the Chattanooga area for more than six decades, Stevens said. “The mission is to improve the quality of life for children of all abilities through excellence in education, research, health care, advocacy and support,” she said. “That mission is at the core of every Institute program and service, including community events such as StyleWorks.” Contact Karen Nazor Hill at [email protected] or 423-757-6396.

We also add new colors each month. Right now I have blues and blacks, white and earth colors showing. Next month there will be bright pinks, jade, black and white, and the following month you’ll see bright reds, turquoise, and black and white. Look for golds, browns and creams in early summer. .. timesfreepress.com .. Breaking News: 423-757-News Photo from Karen Kane Q A Q When did your interest in fashion begin? In childhood when my older sister taught me to sew. I made clothes for my Barbie doll. I later took home economics in a public high school, taking every sewing class I could. When I was growing up in California, there were lots of fabric stores. ... I love fabric stores. I’d go in and touch all the fabrics, look at the prints, and I’d go to the pattern section and look at the pattern books for hours. A or Paris. But because of the Institute’s mission, the fashion show offers more than the season’s trendiest styles. “StyleWorks combines a unique retail experience that also benefits children with special needs and their families,” Stevens said. “People appreciate that.” Because the designer will be a special guest at the event, tickets are expected to sell quickly. Lynda Hood and her teenage daughter, Lauren, are fans of Karen Kane designs. “Girls my age can wear her clothes and our moms can too,” said Lauren, 16, a sophomore at Girls Preparatory School. “I think it’s great when a designer can be successful in making their clothes appealing to people of all ages.” Hood, executive director of the Chattanooga Bar When did you realize that you had talent for design? I tailored a coat in the 11th grade, and my teacher entered it in a statewide contest — and it won. It was brown with sherpa (wool) cuffs and collar, and sherpa on the pockets. It also had wooden buttons. I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. I took every draping and design class they offered. I came out and started working as a cutter and pattern maker, and from there I began my own company. A Q A Q Contact Karen Nazor Hill at [email protected] or 423-757-6396.

But it’s not just me who sees the fun pun potential. The very first event, Thursday night at the Hunter Museum, is an arts sampler with performers offering such a foodie town,” said Kelly Scott at Warehouse Row. “The restaurants are terrific, and people are becoming more involved and interested in food. It’s a perfect fit for the street-food movement to be here now. Food trucks are a new experience. It’s big in so many of the major cities. It’s something different.” Also featured will be Legends of the Game Cookie Co. and Taco Sherpa, a new Korean taco truck, which will join Street Food Tuesdays on April 17.
