No action was taken, records show. None of the other 10 grand jurors who sat on the case was interviewed, and the investigation was closed. But both grand jurors told the Times Free Press they still believe Riley and Rush tried to influence their votes. WHAT’S A GRAND JURY? A grand juy is a panel of county residents who listen to a bill of evidence presented by prosecutors or law enforcement officers and decide whether it’s enough to charge someone with a serious crime requiring a trial. If the grand jury decides to indict, it returns what’s called a “true bill.” If not, it returns a “no-bill.” See JUSTICE, Page A5 Source: Nolo.com Howard in good standing with state SCHOOL IN SESSION ■ Under the new accountability system, the county has four focus schools and six on the priority list.

WHAT’S NEXT First-day enrollment figures are expected to be released today. By Kevin Hardy Staff Writer Nick Gatlin isn’t much of a science guru and never liked science classes too much. But that’s something teachers and staff at Hamilton County’s newest school hope to change. The county’s science, technology, engineering and math school welcomed its first 75 students on the first day of school Monday. Educators say the school will focus on STEM areas but also will fundamentally shift the way high school is taught. “I think what kids are looking for is a new way of doing school that’s not boring,” STEM Principal Tony Donen said. “Hopefully by the way we go about attacking science, there’s a new interest brought about.” Even the STEM school’s building is evidence of a different way of doing things. Instead of concrete walls, low, cubiclelike partitions See SCHOOL, Page A4 Staff Photos by Tim Barber Above: Five STEM school teachers meet in Kim Stanley’s English classroom as the entire student body receives training from Apple technicians on the use of their new iPads.

For the first time in at least half a decade, test scores at Chattanooga’s Howard School put it in good standing with the Tennessee Department of Education. The department on Monday released lists of priority and focus schools, both part of the state’s new school accountability system, which replaces Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, standards of the past. Priority schools are those that performed in the bottom 5 percent on state tests, while focus schools are the 10 percent of schools across the state with the largest achievement gaps between racial, socioeconomic or other groups of students. Howard didn’t make either list — an achievement that didn’t go unnoticed locally. “I’m very excited for Howard,” said Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith. “I know that administration and that faculty went about the business of working really hard with kids. They have really improved their performance.” Howard has been flagged by the state for its low achievement levels for more than a decade under AYP. Its new standing with the state means Howard isn’t subject to state intervention and doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the state-run Achievement School See HOWARD, Page A4 Airport projects two-year loss for center BY THE NUMBERS ■ $450,000: Airport general aviation center’s projected loss for this budget year ■ $655,000: Center’s preliminary loss in the past year Staff File Photo by John Rawlston Line technician Joey Hartsell fuels an airplane in August 2011 at Wilson Air Center at the Chattanooga Municipal Airport.

The 59-year-old Hixson resident had stayed at a Vanderbilt University hospital for months while waiting for a new heart, which he has yet to receive. And on Saturday, with temperatures dropping to comfortable levels, Mason walked out his back door, carrying a battery to support his left ventricular assist device, which helps his heart pump blood. Minutes later he was beaten nearly to death by a group of youth who demanded his wallet, which he wasn’t carrying. IN BUSINESS Johnson Foundation.

Security Changes in store for ‘The Voice’ The Associated Press The Associated Press Seated from left are Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green and Adam Levine; standing are Christina Milian, Carson Daly, Blake Shelton and Mark Burnett, at the “The Voice” Season 3 news conference held at Executive Producer Mark Burnett’s residence in Malibu, Calif. MALIBU, Calif. — NBC’s “The Voice” is adding a bit of thievery to its format. Executive producer Mark Burnett said that the singing contest will let coaches “steal” contestants from each other during the show’s “battle rounds.” The show also will introduce a new “knockout round” to slice the number of contestants on each coach’s team, Burnett told a Malibu, Calif., news conference. He was joined by coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, and host Carson Daly. They were promoting the series’ third season, beginning Sept. 10 as “The Voice” adds a fall run to its original midseason slot. Because the coaches have busy music careers, Burnett said, substitutes may be needed in the future. But the original four have “chairs for life,” he said. Pattinson surfaces on talk shows to promote film The Associated Press Robert Pattison LOS ANGELES — Robert Pattinson has decided to come back — to the spotlight, that is. The 26-year-old actor has been out of sight since learning last month that his girlfriend and “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart had an affair with a married movie director. A tabloid printed photos of the illicit dalliance, breaking the hearts of “Twilight” fans worldwide and prompting Stewart and the director to issue public apologies to loved ones. Kenny G files for divorce after 20-year marriage The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Kenny G is playing the final note on his marriage after 20 years. Court records show the musician filed for divorce Thursday in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. The 56-year-old married Balynda Helene Benson-Gorelick in April 1992, and the former couple has a 14-year-old son. He is seeking joint custody but does not want to pay his estranged wife spousal support. Benson-Gorelick filed for separation in January, but the case has not proceeded. The divorce was first reported Monday by celebrity website TMZ. Kenny G won a Grammy Award for 1993’s “Forever in Love.” But Pattinson can’t lie low forever — he has a film to promote — so was set to appear last night on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart and Wednesday on “Good Morning America.” It’s a gentle, if obligatory, re-entry into the media leading up to Friday’s opening of “Cosmopolis,” the David Cronenberg drama the heartthrob stars in. After challenging personal situations, choosing how and where to make a comeback is often a carefully calculated move.

First lady teases Olympian over fast food The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Gabby Douglas admitted indulging in post-Olympics fast food to the wrong person: first lady and healthy eating advocate Michelle Obama, who teased the gymnastics champion. “You’re setting me back, Gabby,” Obama told Douglas during a taping Monday for NBC’s “Tonight Show,” according to a network transcript. “Sorry!” replied the 16-yearold athlete, who confessed to chowing down on a McDonalds’ breakfast sandwich after winning two gold medals at the justended London Olympics. Douglas became the third straight U.S. athlete and first African-American to win the all-around title. She and her teammates gave the U.S. its first Olympic title in women’s gymnastics since 1996. “Tonight” host Jay Leno asked Douglas whether, after a lifetime of training, the dream of winning matched or differed from The Associated Press First lady Michelle Obama dances with students at Alice Deal Middle School in Washington during a surprise visit. the reality. “I think it’s very different, and when I mean ‘different’ it’s in a better way,” Douglas replied. “I mean, I never thought I would be doing the show with the first lady, or even you, Jay.” On another sports-related topic, Leno put the first lady on the spot about what he called “this whole kiss cam thing” at a recent basketball game. Last month, she and President Barack Obama were at a U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team exhibition game in Washington when the arena’s “Kiss Cam” panned to them. She appeared to shake her head “no” to a smooch. That’s not what happened, Michelle Obama told Leno. “I had just walked in and sat down, and I just saw my face on the Jumbotron. And I’m still a little embarrassed. ... I didn’t see the ‘kiss cam’ part,” she said. After the couple was booed, daughter Malia set them straight. “I’ve arranged for you to get another chance on the kiss cam,” she told her parents, according to the first lady. The president delivered, giving the first lady a big kiss on the lips and adding a peck on the forehead for good measure. WALTER E. HUSSMAN JR.

The scammers have been so crafty and pervasive that members of Congress are making a bipartisan push to change the pension eligibility requirements to discourage people from victimizing veterans. U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney’s bill would create a three-year “look-back period,” meaning suspicious transfers of money — such as payments to potential cheats — would be grounds for denying a claim. Without a look-back period for examining asset transfers, it’s easier for veterans to qualify — but harder for them to avoid scams. “As a veteran myself, I am outraged by the actions of those who would prey on America’s elderly and disabled veterans,” Rooney, R-Fla., said. “These financial predators are scamming their victims out of the resources they need, while undermining the VA pension program for the veterans who rely on it. By creating a threeyear look-back period, we can strengthen the pension program and put an end to this fraud against our nation’s heroes.” Rooney, who served in the Army JAG Corps and was a professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, learned about the problem from veterans in his district, which includes parts of Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter. Some predators have urged elderly veterans to sell their homes to pay for promised financial services. Rooney teamed with the American Legion, which had launched an effort to compile information on the growing scams. Among the types of veteran pensions, the Aid and Assistance Program may be the most generous, with benefits up to $2,019 per month for a married veteran. For wartime veterans, it helps pay for health care costs, such as prescriptions, a health aide or assisted living care. Because there is more money available through that program, scammers tend to exploit veterans who are eligible for it. Among the most egregious scammers are consultants who get veterans to sign contracts guaranteeing them the first benefit check. What veterans don’t know is that instead of a check of about $2,000, the VA issues a first check of as much as $24,000 because of the time it takes to process a claim — which averages about a year. 100 new words make mainstream dictionary The Associated Press NEW YORK — It’s about freakin’ time. The term “F-bomb” surfaced in newspapers more than 20 years ago but will land Tuesday for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, along with sexting, flexitarian, obesogenic, energy drink and life coach. In all, the company picks about 100 additions for the 114-year-old dictionary’s annual update, gathering evidence of usage over several years in everything from media to the labels of beer bottles and boxes of frozen food. So who’s responsible for lobbing F-bomb far and wide? Kory Stamper, an associate editor for Merriam-Webster, said she and her fellow word spies at the Massachusetts company traced it back to 1988, in a Newsday story that had the now-dead Mets catcher Gary Carter talking about how he had given them up, along The Associated Press “Sexting,” “man cave” and “aha moment” are among about a hundred new additions in the 11th edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. with other profanities. But the word didn’t really take off until the late ’90s, after Bobby Knight went heavy on the F-bombs during a locker room tirade. “We saw another huge spike after Dick Cheney dropped an F-bomb in the Senate in 2004,” and again in 2010 when Vice President Joe Biden did the same thing in the same place, Stamper said. “It’s a word that is very visually evocative. It’s not just the F-word. It’s F-bomb. You know that it’s going to cause a lot of consternation and possible damage,” she said. Many online dictionary and reference sites already list F-bomb and other entries Merriam-Webster is only now putting into print. A competitor, Oxford University Press, has F-bomb under consideration for a future update of its New Oxford American Dictionary but beat MerriamWebster to print on a couple of other newcomers: mashup, added to the Oxford book in 2005, and cloud computing, included in 2010. No worries, Stamper said. The dictionary biz isn’t a race. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate gets a cover-to-cover overhaul every decade or Officer, gunman among 3 killed in Texas shootings so in addition to yearly upgrades. The Springfield, Mass.-based company also picks a defining word of each year closer to Thanksgiving. Among the company’s other additions this year, including online at Merriam-Webster. com, and various apps: The Oprah-inspired “aha moment,” the Stephen Kingpopularized earworm, as in that truly torturous tune you can’t get out of your head, and man cave, brain cramp and bucket list. King, in a 2009 column for Entertainment Weekly headlined “The Trouble With Earworms,” wrote of waking up in the middle of the night for a glass of water when he found himself singing a snippet of a lyric. “My friend the Longhair says that’s what you call songs that burrow into your head and commence chewing your brains. The dreaded earworm can turn even a great song into something you’d run from, screaming at the top of your lungs. If only you could,” he wrote. The first reference found by Merriam-Webster for “aha moment” dates to 1939 in a book of psychology. Its use was sporadic until the ’90s, when Oprah Winfrey began using it on her no-longer-onthe-air TV show. “In fact, aha moment is so closely associated with Oprah that in 2009, she and Mutual of Omaha got involved in a legal imbroglio over Mutual of Omaha’s use of the phrase, with Oprah claiming that aha moment was her catchphrase and she had the rights to it,” Stamper said. The case was settled out of court in 2009. Motive remains unclear in wedding-day homicide The Associated Press “They were very friendly, Why did a bride allegedly very nice people.

Graham responding well to treatment for bronchitis Los Angeles Times DURHAM, N.C. — Evangelist Billy Graham is resting comfortably in stable condition while being treated for bronchitis at a hospital in Asheville, N.C., his evangelistic association said Monday. Graham, 93, was admitted to Mission Hospital early Sunday for treatment of a lung infection. He has been responding well to treatment, according to pulmonologist David Pucci. Graham was feeling well enough to watch the London Olympics’ closing ceremony from his hospital bed, said his spokesman, A. Larry Ross. “The ceremony brought back fond memories of various crusades Mr. Graham held in the UK and in Rio de Janeiro, the host city for the next Summer Olympics, over seven decades of public ministry,” Ross said in a statement. Earlier Sunday, Graham watched on television as his grandson, Will Graham, conducted services at a church in Spartanburg, S.C. He had lunch with his daughter, Gigi, and a grandchild Sunday afternoon, according to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, N.C. No discharge date has been set, the association said on its website, adding: “But physicians are hopeful Mr. Graham will continue his rapid rate of recovery and will be able to return home soon.” Graham was hospitalized last November for treatment ADVANTAGE WINDOWS QUALITY THAT LASTS Replacement Windows, Doors, and Siding 6’ French Double Your Patio Doors $ 500 TVA With interior blinds ONLY Energy Rebate* WAS $ 1795 $ 1295 *Call for Details Visit Our Showroom 3709 Brainerd Road advantagewindows.com 423-629-7070 $ 99 5 Windows ....... $495 10 Windows ....... $990 15 Windows ......$1485 EXPERIENCE AND A NAME YOU CAN TRUST 2012 E.

Breaking News: 423-757-News University’s affirmative action policy called legal District attorney now under fire was judge in overturned murder trial By Todd South The Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday threw its support behind the University of Texas’ use of race as a standard in its admissions policies, asking the Supreme Court not to interfere with the consideration of racial preferences in college admissions. The Justice Department, in a court brief co-signed by several other government agencies, told the high court that a diverse college population was in the university’s — and the government’s — best interests. “The armed services and numerous federal agencies have concluded that well-qualified and diverse graduates are crucial to the fulfillment of their missions,” Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli said. The court brief was cosigned by lawyers from the departments of Defense, Education, Commerce, Labor and Health and Human Services. The Supreme Court’s ruling on the University of Texas’ admission program will be its first ruling on affirmative action in higher education since 2003. Arguments will be Oct. 10. Abigail Fisher, a white student who was not admitted to the school in 2008, filed a lawsuit challenged the policy as violation of her civil and constitutional rights. Texas admits most of its students because they rank among the top 10 percent in their high school classes. Fisher’s grades did not put her in that category. For other students, Texas officials say that race is considered among many factors, including academic record, personal essays, leadership potential, extracurricular activities, and honors and awards. The school says race is not used to set quotas, which the high court has previously rejected. “Race is not considered on its own, and it is never determinative of an applicant’s admission by itself,” Verrilli said. “Rather, race is one of a number of contextual factors that provide a more complete understanding of the applicant’s record and experiences. That is a far cry from impermissible racial balancing.” The Texas policy has been upheld by federal appeals courts, which said it was allowed under the high court’s decision in Grutter vs. Bollinger in 2003 that upheld racial considerations in university admissions at the University of Michigan Law School. But Fisher appealed to the current Supreme Court, which is considered to be more conservative than the one that ruled in 2003 and more likely to jettison that decision or at least limit when colleges may take account of race in admissions. Before adopting race as part of its admission policy, Texas’ student body was 21 percent African-American and Hispanic. By 2007, the year before Fisher filed her lawsuit, African-Americans and Hispanics accounted for more than a quarter of the entering freshman class. A man whose charges of murder and incest in the 1992 death of his daughter were dismissed has filed a $20 million federal lawsuit against McMinn County. Current head prosecutor for the 10th Judicial District, Steve Bebb, served as judge in the trial of Gussie Vann. Bebb has come under fire recently in a lengthy Times Free Press investigation of allegations of professional and financial improprieties in his office during his tenure as district attorney for Bradley, McMinn, Monroe and Polk counties. McMinn County Mayor John Gentry said Monday that he had not seen the lawsuit and deferred any comment to county attorneys. The lawsuit, filed Monday by local attorney Robin Flores, claims that McMinn criminal investigators Jerry Lynn Tate and Gary Cullins held Vann for 48 hours without probable cause shortly after his arrest following the July 31, 1992, death of his 8-year-old daughter, Necia Vann. “He’s a poor man, doesn’t have much education,” Flores said. “According to him, they just ran roughshod over him.” Police continued to hold Vann for 10 months without allowing him to see an attorney, according to court documents. Flores claims in the complaint that Cullins and Tate, who have since died, enlisted medical examiner Dr. Ronald Toolsie to perform an autop- The Associated Press CHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat who took a hushed medical leave two months ago, is being treated for bipolar disorder, the Mayo Clinic announced Monday. The Rochester, Minn.based clinic specified his condition as Bipolar II, which is defined as periodic episodes of depression and hypomania. Hypomania is a less serious form of mania. “Congressman Jackson is responding well to the treatment and regaining his strength,” the clinic said in a statement. Bipolar II is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is likely caused by a “complex set of genetic and environmental factors,” the clinic said.

Students and teachers all wear matching khaki pants and white polo shirts embroidered with “STEM.” “It’s just really different from other schools,” said Gatlin, one of 75 freshmen starting out at the new high school. On Monday, students worked with Apple technicians to learn the ins and outs of their school-issued iPads. The high-tech school will have students using their iPads for class work, homework and projects. “It will be as paperless as possible.

Results released Monday show four Hamilton County focus schools: Brown International Academy, Falling Water Elementary, Lakeside Academy and Tyner Middle Academy. Those schools may have still seen growth on test scores but are cited because of achievement gaps between racial, socioeconomic or other groups of students. Six schools made it on the priority school list: Brainerd High, Dalewood Middle, Orchard Knob Elementary, Orchard Knob Middle, Woodmore Elementary and Airport • Continued from Page A1 prices, he said. The center should see a profit within five years, the CEO said. “As with any start-up business, it will be a few years before the operation turns a profit,” Hart said. “But it is important to remember that this operation was primarily developed in response to customer demand.” But the head of the other fixed-base operator at the airport, Tac Air, said the projected loss this year of $450,000 is likely understated. “I’m surprised they’re projecting that small a loss,” said Pam McAllister, general manager in Chattanooga for the private company, based in Texarkana, Texas. “I don’t see anything changing that the losses would be less than now.” She also questioned the need for another hangar at the Wilson Air Center, which the airport has proposed building in the next year. McAllister said Tac Air’s hangar space is only 62 percent full. “They say everything is based on growth,” she said. “Where’s the growth coming from?” Airport officials said the second hangar is needed because the first is already full. Earlier this year, airport officials agreed to spend $424,000 for planning related to potential construction of In the coming days students will decide on a school name, motto and mascot, as well as help develop school rules. The STEM program will use a made-from-scratch curriculum that emphasizes hands-on and project-based learning. Donen said teachers will flip the way instruction is carried out. Instead of spending most of the class time lecturing, teachers will assign instructional reading and video materials as homework so students will come to class ready to apply concepts. Students entered their name into the STEM lottery drawing for varying reasons — some were intrigued by the new program, while others just didn’t want to go to their zoned high school. The school is projected to hold 300 students when it reaches capacity in three years. Daejanae Williams said she didn’t want to attend Centhe Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, a public charter school. CGLA Director Elaine Swafford, a former Howard principal and Chattanooga State Community College administrator, just took over the charter school this year. She said she wasn’t surprised by the school’s placement, and her goal this year is to increase classroom rigor and heighten expectations for students. “Even though it wasn’t a surprise to me, I do believe that all children can learn at high levels,” she said. “Our job is to figure out how to motivate students to learn.” The new accountability system also includes a grouping of reward schools — 5 percent of the state’s highest-performing schools and another 5 percent of schools with the biggest gains. The state has not yet released that list. Contact staff writer Kevin Hardy at khardy@timesfree press.com or 423-757-6249. the second hangar. A $5 million state grant already is in hand, with the airport having to chip in about $555,555. Hart said the second hangar would meet demand and bring in added revenue.But McAllister said all the airport has done is take business away from Tac Air, which leases space at Lovell Field, to fill the first hangar. “All they’ve done to fill the hangar is come after my customers,” she said. She has said the airport is trying to drive out Tac Air, which has operated in Chattanooga for about a decade, and is using public funds in large measure to do it. In mid-2010, airport officials unveiled plans to build up to $10 million in facilities for corporate tenants and personal aircraft on the west side of the main runway, opposite the commercial airline passenger terminal. State government is slated to pay for about 90 percent of the cost of the facilities while the airport covers the remainder.

She was surprised by the school’s walls and layout but said good teachers eased her first-day worries. “The teachers seem like they are really into their jobs, and they seem like teachers who are going to help you through anything,” she said. Teachers and staff only got into the newly renovated building Thursday, making the last few days a mad rush to get organized. There are still kinks to work out with things such as buses and lunch service — students picked up to-go meals brought from another school’s cafeteria.

Toolsie has since lost his license to practice medicine in Tennessee in part because of prescription drug abuse, according to court documents. Flores said both Bebb and the case’s prosecutor, thenDistrict Attorney Jerry Estes, likely would be immune from civil suit while acting in their capacity as government officials. And with both investigators dead, it’s unlikely his client would be able to recoup any damages from their estates, Flores said. But the county government, he said, would be responsible for the officials’ conduct. A McMinn jury found Vann guilty on Aug. 11, 1994. He was sentenced to death by the electric chair. The prison term has sapped Vann’s health, Flores said. On Sept. 22, 2011, charges of felony murder and incest were dismissed against Vann, due partly to civil rights and evidence gathering violations, according to court documents. Vann remains in the Morgan County Correctional Complex on back-to-back 25-year sentences imposed by Bebb for separate rape charges involving Vann’s 13year-old niece. His wife Bernice, then 28, also was charged, pleaded guilty in August 1995 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, according to Times Free Press archives.

At the same time, three current or former law officers claim in court documents that District Attorney General Steve Bebb of the 10th Judicial District helped get them fired for what all claim are trumped-up reasons. Former 10th District Drug Task Force agent Sammie McNelley was fired by drug task force Director Mike Hall in December 2009. He filed suit, and in March a Bradley County chancellor ruled that the firing violated his due process rights and ordered a new hearing. Separate lawsuits by former Cleveland, Tenn., police detectives Duff Brumley and Suzanne Jackson are pending. Brumley and Jackson both assert in their lawsuits that Bebb wrote letters to Police Chief Wes Snyder, saying he had lost confidence in them and would no longer allow them to testify in 10th District criminal cases. ■■■ In Brumley’s case, Bebb had publicly blamed the veteran detective for a mistrial against one defendant in the Valentine’s Day triple slayings in Cleveland. Brumley’s lawsuit in Bradley County Circuit Court asserts that Bebb’s letter was retaliation for the detective having investigated druguse allegations against Hall. The city and police department deny the allegations. Brumley’s lawsuit alleges Snyder used the letter as the basis for terminating Brumley, who had crossed swords repeatedly with his chief. Bebb wrote a very similar letter in Jackson’s case, according to her lawsuit, filed in January in U.S. District Court. That July, Bebb had written to Snyder that he would no longer prosecute cases Jackson worked on because of allegations that she mishandled evidence, the lawsuit states. Jackson, who had 19 years on the Cleveland police force, was fired in Justice • Continued from Page A1 “I can’t tell you word for word or try to quote anyone, but I can tell you they were swayed to vote it out to where it wouldn’t be a true bill,” one of the grand jurors said in a June interview. Both grand jurors asked not to be named because they have sworn an oath of secrecy about their service. A judge released them from the oath to speak to a state investigator about the allegations. Guy called the issue “politically motivated.” “If they’re going to give it to another DA to present, they’re still making sure it gets presented. I can’t imagine why they would fight against themselves,” Guy told the Times Free Press. Rush’s attorney, Dan Ripper, said in an emailed statement there was “no basis to believe that Paul did anything wrong.” Riley did not return a call seeking comment. COUSINS ON THE BALLOT ■■■ When Bebb made Hall the task force director in 2006, Hall promoted McNelley to sergeant. In 2008, McNelley became the task force’s liaison to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, working out of the DEA’s Chattanooga office. But there was friction between Hall and McNelley. In November 2009, Hall’s top aide, Lt. Don Williams, wrote a memo blaming McNelley for stirring up trouble in Mike the task force. Hall Williams wrote that it was “common knowledge” that McNelley thought “he should be the Director or someone with more experience” and that McNelley was “resentful” of Hall’s topranking officers. The memo blamed McNelley for “a division between employees loyal to Director Hall and friends of Sammie” that led to low morale and supervision problems. Williams also claimed that McNelley was misusing his drug task force cellphone by making personal calls and listing the number on ads and billboard signs while trying to sell some property. On Dec. 4, 2009, Hall called McNelley to the drug task force headquarters in Charleston, Tenn., and, with Williams and Bebb present, fired him. McNelley appealed to the drug task force board, which upheld the firing, and then filed suit in McMinn County against the state alleged that a woman who worked for Gentry and Joe Guy told family members that Guy had given her and her husband cash and asked them to write him checks as campaign contributions. The investigation was straightforward: Nichols’ investigator, Ross Haynes, contacted the couple, Dan and Joy Early. According to the Earlys’ statements, Guy told them he had a number of cash contributions in $5, $10 and $20 amounts, totaling $2,000. He asked the couple to put it in their bank account and write him two $1,000 checks, which they did. Both told Haynes they didn’t think they were doing anything wrong, and Joy Early said Guy told her he had checked with a lawyer to make sure. Guy’s statement was slightly different. He told Haynes that Joy Early had come to him with the small contributions. He said he believed they were from deputies and others who didn’t want Frisbie to know they were giving to Guy. IN THE JURY ROOM The grand jurors said that on July 20, 2010, they already had heard several cases that day with Riley as foreman and Rush as prosecutor. Then Riley told the group a special prosecutor was coming because the 10th District had recused itself. He said he couldn’t serve as foreman because he knew the person that the case was about, so he named one of the jurors to act as foreman. One juror told Haynes that Riley and Rush “let us in on the fact that there was an investigation, allegations brought up against a sheriff’s candidate and that they didn’t know what or if anything we were supposed to know about the case before you and Mr. Nichols presented it. “Then they did say that they thought that it was really nothing to it. Mr. Riley did tell the jury that he had known Joe for a long time, that Joe was a straightup man, that he had never known him to do anything wrong or anything illegal, that he had raised a good family, came from a good family, that he had worked for the county for many years and he knew him as a friend and that he felt like … there was nothing to this. It was more of a campaign attack. It was more of a political attack brought on against Joe. “So to me it was more of them saying I want this nobilled. Because they have told us on occasions which ones to no-bill.” When the investigator asked if Rush made any comment, the juror said, “Yes, he told me it was a political play.” In an interview with the Times Free Press, the juror said Rush had said something like, “Look at the politics. Look at the timeframe here. This is something that has just been pushed through; if there was anything to it, something would have already been done.” The juror tried to start a debate but got nowhere. “The evidence was there. The facts were there. They had already been told to nobill this,” the juror said. The other juror told a similar story. “We were prepped beforehand that something was coming up on a case and a person was coming out of Knox County to present it. We knew going in who it was,” the other juror told the Times Free Press. “Paul Rush and Mr. Riley both spoke to us” before DA Nichols came in. “I felt like they were trying to guide our feelings.” Ripper, Rush’s attorney, STOP THE HEAT! $ 189 JOHN MOON’S and the 10th drug task force challenging the termination process. McNelley claimed Williams had given him the OK to use the phone and that others had also misused drug task force cellphones and not been fired. He also claimed denial of due process: That the appeals board members wrongly were told he could be fired without cause; that he wasn’t adequately advised of charges or given time to prepare; that the drug task force failed to turn over documents he needed for his defense, and that Hall, the chief witness against him, was not sworn in and walked out of the hearing at the start of crossexamination by McNelley’s attorney. As part of McNelley’s lawsuit, Bebb gave a sworn deposition where court records indicate he spoke untruthfully under oath. During the deposition McNelley’s lawyer, Chattanooga attorney Bryan Hoss, asked Bebb about his knowledge of the firing. Sammie Bebb said more McNelley than once that Hall had told him McNelley was causing problems in the task force, but that he didn’t tell Hall how to run the task force. Then came this exchange: Hoss: “And as I understand your testimony today about this dissension, that McNelley caused this dissension within the task force, it sounds like you didn’t have any personal knowledge of it, but you just — is it fair to say you just took Mike Hall’s word that he was causing dissension? Is that fair?” Bebb agreed, but said Williams also had mentioned McNelley causing dissension. However, unbeknownst to Bebb or Hall, McNelley had brought an audio recorder to the meeting. On the recording, Bebb says explicitly that other people had told him McNelley was the problem. In the tape transcript, which was evidence in McNelley’s lawsuit, Hall told McNelley he had asked Bebb for advice.

(He) could hardly be said to have influenced the decision.” Something else was odd about that case, both jurors said. There were 16 appointed panel members. It takes 12 to hold a vote and 10 to return an indictment. There were several absences on July 20 and, when Riley recused himself, the panel was two short, they said. The McMinn County Circuit Court clerk’s official tally for the day counted 12 jurors, including Riley. The foreman called two substitute jurors from the county’s alternate panel. One arrived late and missed part of the DA’s presentation on the charges of tampering with government records and making a false entry on an election document, the jurors said.

The investigative file also noted that Joe Guy posted the news shortly afterward on his Facebook page. The Daily Post-Athenian carried a story in its July 23-25 editions quoting him saying the case had been no-billed. That was more than a week before the grand jury was due to make its report on the indictments handed up for that session. Guy told the Times Free Press he believed one of the grand jurors who supported his opponent for sheriff let the news of the no-bill leak and filed the complaint. “It’s my opinion there was no impropriety. The case was politically motivated,” he said. Contact staff writer Judy Walton at jwalton@ timesfreepress.com or 423757-6416. Subscribe to Judy on Facebook at Facebook. com/JudyCTFP. By Kyle Hightower The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — The attorney for the man who shot and killed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin said Monday he’ll seek to get the case dismissed using a traditional self-defense argument and not the state’s “stand your ground” statute. Mark O’Mara, who is defending George Zimmerman against a seconddegree murder charge in the fatal February shooting, said the traditional self-defense approach is appropriate because the facts suggest his client couldn’t retreat from a beating Martin was giving him. Zimmerman’s attorneys had said last week that they would use Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which allows people to use deadly force — rather than retreat — if they believe their lives are in danger. “The facts don’t seem to support a ‘stand your ground’ defense,” O’Mara said. If a judge were to side with Zimmerman in a pretrial hearing under either theory, the murder charge would be dismissed immediately. O’Mara said he would not have to invoke any part of the “stand your ground” statute under the strategy he plans to use. “I don’t’ like ‘stand your ground’ because I’m not sure it’s a ‘stand your ground’ case,” O’Mara said. University of Miami law professor Tamara Lave said this change by O’Mara may be a signal that he thinks his case for self-defense is solid even without the special provisions afforded by “stand your ground.” “’Stand your ground’ makes it easier to prevail under self-defense theory than the law that existed beforehand,” Lave said. “I think what he’s saying is his case is so strong that he doesn’t need ‘stand your ground.”’ B e fo re O ’ M a ra c a n address either approach, he is filing an appeal this week of trial Judge Kenneth Lester’s recent decision to stay on the case. O’Mara said it could take several weeks for the Fifth District Court of Appeals to rule. “It’s their timeline,” O’Mara said. “They’ll try to get to it quickly, but it could take several weeks. I still think he’s a good judge and very fair... But there’s a real question of whether Judge Lester stepped over his bounds.” Lester denied O’Mara’s m o t i o n a s k i n g fo r t h e recusal earlier this month. O’Mara argues that language Lester used in setting Zimmerman’s $1 million bond showed bias. CRIMINAL DEFENSE Felony • Misdemeanor • DUI Licensed in TN & GA Daniel J.

Hall: “So I talked to the general and, uh, he gave a suggestion, and his suggestion is to, uh, terminate you.” He offered McNelley a month’s pay if he would resign. Then McNelley appealed to Bebb for help. McNelley: “Coach, listen. You have known me for 18 years ... to be an honest man of integrity and morals.” Bebb: “I have. And I think you’re a good police officer, but I think you’re a cause of dissension up here.” McNelley: “Coach, I’m not.” Bebb: “Well, let me just tell you. I haven’t even told Mike (Hall) or Don (Williams). I had another agent come to me three months ago and told me that — that there’s a lot of problems up here and that Sammie McNelley is behind them.” McNelley: “Coach, I’m not. I’m not.” Bebb: “And a city police officer also told me the same thing, too. ... For at least a year I have been hearing, Sammie McNelley, Sammie McNelley, Sammie McNelley, a city officer, drug task force officer.” The firing cost McNelley his paycheck and affected his pension, although he later was hired by the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office and placed back in the same position as DEA liaison. On March 19, Bradley Chancellor Jerri Bryant ruled in McNelley’s favor. Her three-page order said the firing violated his right to due process and ordered that a new hearing be held. McNelley said in an interview that the chancellor’s decision to overturn the appeal process doesn’t mean he’ll get his old job back. As of this week, a hearing hasn’t been set yet. But he wants a lawful process when it finally happens, he said. “The decision to terminate me needs to be overturned, and I need to receive back pay and benefits for all this time. I want what was wrong made right,” he said. Contact staff writer Judy Walton at [email protected] or 423-757-6416. Subscribe to Judy on Facebook at Facebook.com/ JudyCTFP.

Joe Guy, the Republican who defeated incumbent Steve Frisbie in the primary, was a longtime assistant to then-County Mayor John Gentry. He is a well-known historian who has written several books on regional history. His Democratic challenger was his uncle, David Guy, a career lawman who took a leave of absence from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to run for sheriff. David Guy declined to comment for this story. David Guy’s employment meant the TBI had to recuse itself from investigating when a McMinn County resident called about allegedly false campaign contributions to Joe Guy. District Attorney General Steve Bebb recused the 10th District from the case as well, and it was handed to Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols. The Times Free Press obtained the investigative file. The initial complaint September 2011 based on the letter, according to her lawsuit. Jackson denies mishandling evidence and claims in the suit that male officers who had done the same things were not investigated or disciplined. She claims she was the target of sexual discrimination and harassment and was fired in retaliation for filing complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The city and police department deny the allegations. 34783274 By Judy Walton Zimmerman lawyer pursuing self-defense 1618 N. Jackson St. (931) 588-3199 CHATTANOOGA HIXSON 7333 Shallowford Rd.

International Pakistan military to open new front Syrian rebels say captured pilot, shot down fighter offensives by the forces of Bashar Assad’s regime. Just days ago, protesters across Syria pleaded for the rebels’ main backers — including Turkey and Gulf states — to send anti-aircraft weapons for outgunned fighters. Assad’s military has significantly stepped up aerial attacks in recent weeks. Strafing from warplanes and close-range missile strikes from helicopter gunships have pushed back rebels in key fronts such as Aleppo, the country’s largest city and the scene of fierce attacks to dislodge rebel positions. As the sun was setting on Monday, an Associated Press reporter saw two fighter jets over the village of Marea, 20 miles north of Aleppo. Terrified residents collected on street corners and near the doors to their houses to watch and point as the jets The Associated Press The Associated Press This image made from amateur video purports to show Syrian pilot Col. Rafik Mohammed Suleiman, right, being interrogated by rebel officers after his Sovietmade MiG warplane was apparently hit by ground fire over Deir el-Zour province, an area near the Iraqi border, on Monday. dived low, dropping bombs that sent up clouds of smoke and firing machine guns that crackled over the village. On one crowded market street, a handful of rebels with rifles ran toward the site of the bombings. “What are you going to do, bring down a jet with a rifle?” a man screamed. After the jets left, young men on motorcycles rushed to the bombing site on the edge of the village to find two craters the size of cars in a dirt field next to a swimming pool. A man working at the privately owned pool said only three people were there at the time and that none was injured. He didn’t give his name and tried to chase away journalists and residents seeking to film the pool. It is unclear why the area was targeted. Residents said there was no rebel base nearby. In another crack in Assad’s diplomatic corps, a Syrian diplomat who worked with the U.N. rights council in Geneva said he left his post to join the opposition. A spokesman for the council, Rolando Gomez, identified the Syrian as Danny al-Baaj and described him as a junior member of his country’s U.N. mission. Norway police tactics unchanged year after massacre of 77 in Oslo The Associated Press Iranian boys retrieve their belongings from the ruins of their house destroyed in Saturday’s earthquake in a village near Varzaqan in northwestern Iran. Toll of Iranians injured in quake tops 3,000 ly leveled, and 425 others sustained damage ranging from 50 to 80 percent, state TV and news agencies reported. Many roads and other infrastructure were heavily damaged. State TV showed relief workers distributing tents and helping survivors, mainly in rural areas. Iran’s Red Crescent Society said the country does not need any foreign aid. Spokesman Pouya Hajian told semiofficial ISNA news agency that the International federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent, UNICEF, Turkey, Taiwan, Singapore, Germany and many embassies in Tehran had offered help but that the Iranian Red Crescent is able to support the quakestricken areas. The head of Red Crescent Society of in the quake-struck province also said international aid was not needed. U.S. State Department s p o ke swo m a n Vi c to r i a Nuland said Monday that the U.S. has not had “any pickup” from Iran on Washington’s offer of assistance, and noted Iranian public statements that it did not need outside aid. “Nonetheless, our offer stands on the table,” she told a news conference. squad. Norway’s only police helicopter was left unused, its crew on vacation. But the report also questioned the actions of the first officers to arrive on the shore of the lake, saying they received instructions to get an overview of the situation and await the anti-terror unit instead of trying to cross over to Utoya to confront the gunman. Police Commissioner Oeystein Maeland said police will “critically review” procedures for dealing with an active shooter but added that so far officers haven’t received any additional training on such situations. “One of the questions we will look into is whether the training of ordinary police is extensive and good enough,” he said. Even Breivik, 33, testified during his trial that he expected police to confront him on his way to Utoya or within 15 minutes after firing his first shots on the island. As it turned out, Breivik drove unhindered to Utoya after setting off the bomb — even though police had the license plate of his getaway car. On Utoya, he called police twice to announce he was ready to give himself up, then kept killing as no officers had arrived to arrest him. Regular Guttering Also! The Gutter that Never Clogs...

Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi told a session of parliament that the number jumped by about 50 after victims expired in the hospital. More than 3,000 people were injured in the twin earthquakes that struck two days ago, she added in comments broadcast on state radio. In one hamlet visited by AP Television News near the village of Bajeh Baj, 13 miles west of one of the epicenters, furniture peeked out from under piles of bricks and collapsed roof timbers while men sorted through debris, trying to salvage what little was left of their households. Residents say the earthquake killed 35 people living in the simple dwellings surrounded by mountains. Dried earth was left split wide open from the force of the shock, which cut some houses in two and left the wall of one standing only where it was propped up by a refrigerator. The death toll included some 219 women and children, Dastjerdi said, adding that around 2,000 injured people had been released from hospitals soon after the quake since they had only minor injuries. Dastjerdi said her ministry has deployed scores of ambulances and medics to the region but still needs helicopters to transfer seriously injured people quickly. Authorities say old, heavy roofs without frames were largely responsible for the death toll in the rural areas. Scores of aftershocks have coursed through the region since the 6.4 and 6.3 magnitude quakes hit the area, home to some 300,000 people in a 2,300-square-mile borderland near Azerbaijan and Armenia. The quakes hit the towns of Ahar, Haris and Varzaqan in East Azerbaijan province. At least 12 villages were total- OSLO, Norway — A year after a far-right militant’s bomb and gun attacks exposed flaws in Norway’s terror preparedness, police are being criticized for failing to improve their ability to stop a gunman bent on inflicting mass casualties. In contrast to the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which led to sweeping changes in police tactics and training in the U.S., the massacre of 77 people in July last year hasn’t had a tangible impact on Norway’s police force, critics say. “There are hardly been any visible changes from July 22 and until today. That is what our members tell me,” said Arne Johannessen, who heads Norway’s union for police officers. “Now things have to happen. Now both the leadership in the police and the politicians must take this seriously.” A government-appointed commission on Monday presented a long-awaited 500page report outlining flaws — and some bright spots — in how police and other authorities responded to Norway’s worst peacetime attacks. The confessed gunman, right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, set off a car bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo, then drove to the Labor youth division’s annual summer camp, disguised as a police officer, and opened fire. Eight people were killed in the explosion, while 69 people died in the massacre on Utoya island, in a lake some 25 miles from the capital. Breivik’s shooting massacre lasted for more than an hour before he surrendered to a police anti-terror unit. He is awaiting sentencing on Aug. 24. Police had already admitted to a series of blunders, including flaws in communication systems and the breakdown of an overloaded boat carrying the anti-terror 34801700 The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Pakistan has indicated that it plans to launch combat operations against Taliban militants soon in a tribal area near the Afghan border that also serves as a haven for leaders of the al-Qaida-affiliated Haqqani network, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday. Panetta said Pakistan’s military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, discussed the planned operation in recent conversations with the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen. Panetta said he did not know when the Pakistani operation would start, but he said he understands it will be in the “near future,” and that the main target will be the Pakistani Taliban, rather than the Haqqani network. Saying he had previously “lost hope” that Pakistan’s military would take action in the North Waziristan tribal area, Panetta welcomed Kayani’s initiative. The U.S. long has been frustrated by Islamabad’s refusal to target Afghan Taliban militants and their allies using Pakistani territory to stage attacks against U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. 34777711 The Associated Press BEIRUT — Syrian rebels circulated dramatic video Monday of what they claimed was the downing of a warplane and armed men later holding the captured pilot who ejected as the MiG fighter was engulfed by flames. Syria acknowledged a pilot bailed out of a disabled plane but blamed the crash on a technical malfunction. The authenticity of the images or the claims could not be independently verified. If the rebels did bring down their first aircraft, that could signal a significant jump in their firepower and give opposition forces their most high-profile military captive. But wider questions remain even if the rebel reports are confirmed, including whether this could be just a one-time blow against expanding air ... .

Seven commissioners voted in June to halt the architect selection process until the schools disclosed plans for the current East Brainerd Elementary site. The schools are pushing to have the school designed, built and open in the fall of 2014. Since then, a list of 13 applicants was narrowed to three finalists, and Smith and Coppinger chose TWH Architects. “It was the consensus of the people that listened to all the interviews and presentations,” Coppinger said Monday. He said TWH’s local reputation weighed into the decision. “They’ve done some outstanding work in the past,” he said. With continued growth in East Hamilton County, Smith said it’s increasingly urgent to get to work on the new school. He said today’s release of school-by-school first-day enrollment figures will show that crowding continues at East Brainerd Elementary. “That will again indicate the See SCHOOL, Page B8 BY THE NUMBERS ‘They were her whole life’ Mother defends daughter in boys’ heat deaths Smith, said Bates has struggled in jail.

Mississippi remained in the top spot with nearly 35 percent of its adults considered obese while Colorado remained lowest at nearly 21 percent, according to information from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. States in the South and Midwest continued to have the highest rates of obesity — calculated as anyone with a body mass index of more than 30. “Comparisons aside, we still have this problem of a lot of obesity and rates that are far too high,” said Jeff Levi, executive director at the nonprofit Trust for American’s Health. The data released Monday comes from the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which is self-reported data collected by randomly calling people to ask them about various behaviors. In the past, those gathering the information have only called people on land lines, but this year the survey included data from cellphone users, according to the CDC. Levi noted that the 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is done at a national level and includes weights and measurements of survey participants, shows obesity rates may be stabilizing slightly at a national level. However, a Chattanooga doctor said the rate of obesity — about one-third of all Americans — may be slowing simply because See OBESITY, Page B8 DAVID COOK ON THE WEB Readers can find a new David Cook column online at timesfreepress.com/ davidcook.

Frederick Patterson III Harry Mixson Harry Allen Mixson went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012, at 11:44 a.m. at Memorial Hospital due to complications from heart surgery. Harry was 87 years old. He was born in Chattanooga, on March 11, 1925. Harry’s father was O.O. Mixson and his mother was Bessie Davis Mixson. Harry graduated from Tyner High School in 1941 at the age of 16 and then graduated from McCallie School in 1942. Harry then joined the U.S. Navy and served in the Pacific Theater as a radio operator for a U.S. Marine squadron on Okinawa. Upon returning to the USA after the war Harry earned a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Tennessee. Harry went to work out of school with Morristown Electric Utility. Harry married Billie Joyce White in June of 1951. Harry came back to Chattanooga and went to work with Dillard Smith Construction Co. He became an officer in the corporation and worked for 38 years building electric power system projects throughout the world. He retired in 1991. Harry always had a keen ability in business and lived a life of extreme generosity. Harry provided employment to thousands of people. Harry also was a very active member of Oakwood Baptist Church located at Bonny Oaks Drive in Chattanooga. He served the Lord most notably as the chairman of the f inance committee. Harry’s leadership allowed the church to thrive. Harry’s hobbies included fishing trips and beach vacations with the family and each day of his life included enjoying the work of it all. Harry was a man who loved to mow grass and maintain a pristine and organized environment wherever he was. ‘Ole Harry had the fire in his belly and was tested throughout his 1940s and ’50s by trying to raise two most rambunctious boys whom God used to develop and strengthen his perseverance. Harry was a risk-taker and was “All In” on all of his endeavors. Harry actively traded stocks until the day he died and elected to have heart surgery when he knew there was a risk involved. Most every time Harry’s risk-taking was handsomely rewarding and he appeared lucky because everything he touched turned to gold. Harry is survived by his wife Joyce; son, David and his wife, Beth Mixson, along with their three children, Carter, Alex and Corena; son, Mike and Becky Mixson along with their son, Jacob.

Johnson II The Associated Press NASHVILLE — The interim president of Tennessee State University said allegations of grade fixing at the university have opened dialogue for better communication between faculty and administrators. The Senate Higher Education Subcommittee held a hearing Monday to address allegations that university officials changed more than 100 students’ grades of “incomplete” for two introductory-level courses into letter grades without instructors’ permission. Te n n e ss e e B oa rd of Regents officials told the panel there were mistakes made and that there was a lack of communication, but they said an internal audit found no wrongdoing by university administrators. One of the faculty members who made the allegations said she voiced her concerns outside the school because she didn’t think they would be addressed by university administrators. Another faculty member said he was simply “afraid.” Interim TSU president Portia Shields told reporters after the hearing that she holds campus meetings for faculty and administrators to voice their concerns, but apparently she isn’t doing enough. “To hear several people say that they were afraid to come forward when we operate in a transparent for- The Associated Press Republican Sen. Jim Summerville, of Dickson, gestures during a Monday hearing in Nashville about allegations officials at Tennessee State University changed more than 100 students’ grades without instructors’ permission. mat is very troubling, and we have to find a way to address that,” Shields said. At issue were two pilot courses that were added to the TSU curriculum when the state banned remedial classes for incoming students. Students in these courses were supposed to complete college-level material, as well as additional coursework designed to bring the students up to speed. Students who completed the college-level coursework but didn’t complete the supplemental assignments were given incompletes. But in the spring the school changed the incompletes to letter grades based on the students’ performances on the college-level coursework. School officials have said they received approval from the state Board of Regents to change the grades and instructors were informed. Regents’ officials testified at the hearing and later issued a statement that the mistake was giving the “incomplete,” but that “the university corrected the mistake without requiring hundreds of students to individually fill out forms and deliver them around campus for signatures.” “If the university had strictly followed its process for ‘incomplete’ removal in order to correct its own error, the university would have placed a burden on the students to go through that process to correct the mistake,” according to the audit report. Monroe slaying trial under way By Jim Balloch Knoxville News Sentinel MADISONVILLE, Tenn. — Jurors will begin hearing testimony today in the trial of Jessica Kennedy, who is accused of killing a Monroe Country election official. The jurors have already heard a sneak preview of the case from comments the lawyers made during the juryselection process Monday. Monroe County Election Commission Chairman Jim Miller, 60, was shot in the head three times on July 17, 2010. His body was found inside the trunk of his burning car off Sands Road early that evening. Kennedy, 29, is charged with felony murder, aggravated robbery, abuse of a corpse and arson. If convicted of the murder charge, she faces life in prison. “The state will present no proof that (she) is the only person involved, (but) she should be held responsible for her part in the homicide,” Assistant 10th District Attorney General Jim Stutts said during jury selection. Kennedy has given multiple conflicting accounts of her role in the crime, includ- GOP’s Campfield seeks to boost Clayton credibility The Associated Press NASHVILLE — A n embattled nominee for the U.S. Senate is turning to a Republican state senator to try to underscore his Democratic credentials. Mark Clayton, who was disavowed by the state Democratic Party after winning the primary because of his anti-gay stance, held a news conference in Nashville on Monday with Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield. Campfield, the sponsor of a bill seeking to bar teaching about gay issues, told reporters that he had previously tried, but failed, to recruit Clayton to run as a Republican. Campfield said he wasn’t endorsing Clayton. Clayton is vice president of Falls Church, Va.based Public Advocate of the United States, deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Clayton showed reporters a certificate of appreciation he received from the organization. ing one in which she said she pulled the trigger. She later recanted that statement. “We are going to try to convince you that (confession) statement is false,” defense attorney John Eldridge told prospective jurors. Kennedy once accompanied authorities to the location of the crime for a re-enactment of one of her versions — but not the one in which she fired the shots. Stutts has said the state believes that Miller was shot at that location, outside a yellow house on Creek Road. In one of Kennedy’s accounts, she helped load Miller’s body into the trunk of his car. But even if Kennedy did not pull the trigger, under state law she could be convicted of felony murder if she knowingly participated in a crime, such as a robbery, that resulted in Miller’s death. A jury of nine women and five men, including two who will serve as alternates, was selected from a panel of about 75 prospective jurors. Miller’s personal popularity and the extensive publicity of the crime prompted close questioning of the prospective jurors about their knowledge of the case and whether they have formed any personal opinions. After the jurors were picked, Special Judge Walter Kurtz had each of them make a personal promise to him to judge the case only on evidence and testimony presented in the courtroom. The jury will not be sequestered unless it becomes necessary, he said. Kennedy, who has a record of minor drug offenses, has been in jail since late 2010 on a probation violation. She was indicted in the Miller homicide case in early January 2011. For the trial, she has been allowed to shed her jailhouse jumpsuit for a simple reddish blouse and black slacks. Most of the time on Monday she paid close attention to the proceedings, and participated in discussions with Eldridge and his associates over which prospective jurors should be picked and which should be excused. Several of Miller’s family members, including his widow, Vickie Miller, also closely watched the proceedings. Contact Jim Balloch at [email protected] or 865-342-6315.

Also, the Rossville Public Library won’t see its funding cut this year, City Council decided by the same margin. Those were the highlights of a City Council meeting that packed the Rossville courtroom building with almost 60 people. The unusually heavy crowd consisted of library supporters and — judging by applause — opponents of the 3.65 property tax millage increase that council approved on its first reading. The millage increase consists of two parts: roughly 1.65 mills will prevent the city from tapping its reserves, and a roughly 2-mill increase will replace a $6.50 per month administration fee charged monthly to every residence with a water meter. “I’d rather leave the administration fee alone and not go up on taxes,” Councilman Rick Buff said to loud and sustained applause. Buff and Councilwoman Cindy Bradshaw voted against raising the millage. Reasons Mayor Teddy Harris cited the eliminating the administration fee included its unpopularity, problems with billing it and the fact that “is more of a regressive tax. The [property] tax is more of a progressive tax.” Councilwoman Joyce Wall noted that the city hasn’t raised taxes in 12 years. One thing Wall didn’t like about the administration fee is that large apartment complexes with only one water meter, such as the 110-unit Rossville Apartments, only pay $6.50 a month for all their units — the same as a single-family residence. City Council split the same way on maintaining the library’s funding, with Buff and Bradshaw opposed.

Stonewall Farms Townhomes CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Steps are being taken toward a “no kill” city here, the Cleveland City Council learned Monday. Between meetings, the council toured the city animal shelter, which is the Animal Control Division of the Cleveland Police Department. Beth Foster, speaking for the new “Cleveland for a No Kill City” group, said the council’s previous action — giving ownersurrendered pets at least 72 hours before euthanasia — has saved over a hundred dogs and cats the past month. The extra time, rather than overnight euthanasia, gives pets a chance to find a permanent home, Foster said. The group’s goal is that Cleveland will be a no-kill city by 2017. The council viewed a new city website that includes photos of available pets at the animal shelter. The new site includes pet adoption information, pet regulations and other advice.

By Paul Leach Correspondent The Associated Press Hikers and tourists congregate outside the headquarters of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in Harpers Ferry, W.Va., earlier this month. Today marks the 75th anniversary of the trail’s completion. Appalachian Trail still evolving after 75 years H A R P E R S F E R RY, W.Va. — Like the people who hike it, the Appalachian Trail is always moving. Technically, Tuesday marks the 75th anniversary of its completion. But the 2,180mile path stretching across 14 states from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Katahdin, Maine, is never really finished. It took 15 years for hundreds of volunteers, state and federal partners, trail maintenance clubs and young workers with the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps to build the original path. In the decades since, nearly 99 percent has been relocated or rebuilt, and transferred from private to public ownership. That means the trail and some 250,000 contiguous acres are better-protected than ever from development and suburban sprawl. It will always be in the same general area, said Mark Wenger, executive director of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in Harpers Ferry. But as access to waterways Goals • Continued from Page B4 lot on Aug. 21 were each asked to answer questions prepared by the party and audience members. The crowd of about 100 residents squeezed into the room and more than half the audience stood against the wall. Black and Sisk were asked a range of questions from how they would manage the sheriff ’s office $8 million budget to how they would prevent drug problems in the community. Sisk, who has worked at the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office for 22 years and now holds the chief deputy spot, criticized Black’s plans to double the sheriff’s narcotics unit and build a substation on the west side of the county. He questioned how Black could pay for those expensive projects and whether the substation would take manpower off the streets. “Officers belong out there in the car serving you,” Sisk said. But Black didn’t answer and instead ignored the criti- or scenic landscapes along the trail becomes available for purchase, it will continue to shift. “Will it move a little to the left, a little to the right?” he said. “Yes, depending on the physical attributes of the area. “One of the tenets of the trail is to provide that personal experience of sort of being one with nature. You can’t necessarily do that if you’re walking along a major highway,” Wenger said. “So it’s been relocated to give it some degree of privacy and that sense of the wonder of nature.” The relocations and reconstruction also make the path itself more sustainable. It was originally routed straight up and down many mountains, exacerbating erosion and making for a difficult hike. Today’s trail features more scenic vistas than the original route, too, including Roan Mountain, Tenn.; the Mount Rogers High Country and Grayson Highlands in Virginia; the Pochuck Creek swamp in New Jersey and Thundering Falls in Vermont. cism explaining that he ran a positive campaign. “We are going to stay professional because I take a lot of pride in law enforcement,” he told the crowd. Earlier in the debate, Black argued that rehabilitation for inmates wasn’t the answer — the platform Sisk has been debating throughout his campaign. “I don’t feel like it’s the sheriff ’s role,” Black said. “We get paid to go out and protect you.” Sisk later shot back that more community rehabilitation programs was one of the answers for crime prevention and that teens needed a role model and encouragement from the community. “It’s not some one else’s problem. It’s our communities problem,” he said. Both toted their experience as a selling point — Black with experience at multiple agencies across North Georgia, and Sisk working his way up at the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office as his only law enforcement job.

The idea for the trail was born in a 1921 article in the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. Benton MacKaye proposed an idea that still resonates today — a path that would let people escape the demands and drudgery of daily life. As many as 3 million people a year now visit some part of the trail to reconnect with nature and slow down. Wenger calls it “a very complex trail” with a wide variety of terrain. Travelers can make their way through the dense forests and remote mountains in the South, to long, rocky ridges in the MidAtlantic, to rugged and rocky hiking with the possibility of wintry weather in New England. Although some sections meet the accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, there are also rugged sections that require skill and experience to navigate. About 2,000-3,000 people each summer attempt a “thruhike,” or journey along the entire length. Only one in four will succeed. For them, Harpers Ferry is the psychological halfway point, even though the actual location is nearby in southern Pennsylvania. The trail is part of the National Park System, managed by the trail conservancy, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, 31 local clubs and various state agencies. The Maine Appalachian Trail Club in Carrabassett Valley is planning an anniversary celebration Saturday, while the Mount Rogers Appalachian Trail Club in Damascus, Va., will sponsor a day hike. “We need to take stock of what the people before us have done,” Wenger said. “If you think about it, building a national trail is in the same caliber as Yosemite and Yellowstone, the early national parks. It’s something other countries didn’t do.” It’s also important to think about where the trail is headed, he said, and to ensure it remains available to future generations. “It is not going to be done in my lifetime,” Wenger said, “and we’d like to think secretly it will never be done. But it will always be our challenge to finish it.” Probe is making progress. “It could be that if evidence comes forward, there could be a warrant or it could be taken straight to the Franklin County grand jury,” Taylor said. Authorities ask anyone with information related to the investigation to call the Franklin County Sheriff ’s Office at 931-967-2331 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800824-3463.

The attorneys also will discuss proposed legal changes that may make veteran benefits harder to get. “We’re passionate about setting the record straight,” said Sally Brewer, an attorney with a focus on elder law and Medicaid/veterans benefits. Brewer and certified elderlaw attorney Dana Perry will host the seminar. Both work for the Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel law firm. Lawmakers have proposed changes that will create a “look-back period” into a veteran’s financial records for the three years before he or she files for benefits, Brewer said. Under the law, veterans cannot have transferred any of their assets in that timeframe. If it’s discovered that they have transferred their assets for less than fair market value, they could forfeit their benefits, according to news reports. The goal is to stop wealthier veterans who may try to scam the system, she said.

A lot of times they die before they can receive their benefits,” she said. “It’s not fair.” Perry said the attorneys see at least one veteran or widow every month who hasn’t claimed available benefits because he or she didn’t know about them. That could add up to about $12,000 a year, Perry said. Some elderly veterans don’t know they can apply for different types of monetary benefits, such as payments for veterans who served during wartime or were injured in service, Brewer said.

Liesa Hill filed the order Aug. 3 with a hearing expected today. Judge Marie Williams will hear the case at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 24. According to documents, Hill, a pharmacist, told authorities she has been ill since 2011 and that doctors couldn’t diagnose her condition even as she grew sicker. Hill said she saw her husband, Hal Hill, slip something into her morning cup of coffee. She provided a sample to Lookout Mountain police. After testing, the authorities confirmed the coffee contained high levels of barium, a toxic heavy metal. Hal Hill, who is a wellknown physician, has not been charged. The investigation remains open.

After agreeing as the 4th District Republican nominee to debate former U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., DesJarlais dropped out on the day of the event. It was the 2010 race’s only scheduled debate, and DesJarlais defeated Davis a week later. In his email to Stewart, DesJarlais said his decision stemmed partially from his opinion that “the people I serve deserve to know who you feel should lead our nation as president.” The Chattanooga Times Free Press attempted to close that loop, asking whether Stewart supports President Barack Obama or the Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov.

OPINION B6 • Tuesday, August 14, 2012 • • • Established 1869 Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher 1878-1935 HARRY AUSTIN Editorial Page Editor WES HASDEN Associate Editor EDITORIALS The Romney/Ryan divide I n picking Rep. Paul Ryan, the House budget committee chairman, as his vice presidential nominee, Mitt Romney has obviously attempted to reset the tone and scope of the presidential debate. Yet the quandary that poses for Romney is undeniable. Ryan’s House-approved budgets the past two years aim to: gut Medicare and turn it into to a declining voucher program; diminish and privatize Social Security; cut Medicaid for the poor and its nursing home coverage for formerly middle-class Americans; slash safety spending by 60 percent; reduce student aid; give more tax breaks to corporations and the ultra-wealthy; and raise taxes on the nation’s broad middle class, mainly by eliminating their tax breaks, including home mortgages. But it still doesn’t project a balanced budget until 2040, largely because it calls for huge tax cuts for corporations and the rich, and a promise to keep raising the Pentagon’s budget with inflation. Romney can hardly advance that documented fiscal approach as his own agenda and win the presidency. So it’s no coincidence that within a day of announcing his choice of Ryan and basking in the tea party limelight with him, Romney quietly began spreading the word that Ryan’s budget views would not rule his policies. Which raises the questions, why Ryan, and what, specifically, are Romney’s own fiscal goals? The answer to “why Ryan” is that Romney expects Ryan’s bent for social extremism will boost the GOP’s tea party turnout in November. That’s certainly the way conservatives are reading it. Americans for Limited Government, for example, asserted Monday that Ryan’s proposals now will be “front and center in the presidential campaign going forward.” But with Romney already feeling compelled to dismiss Ryan’s budget leadership over extremists in the House, it’s clear that Romney just wants the image of Ryan, without the substance or the baggage. Never mind. Romney can’t run well with Ryan, and simultaneously run away from the reason he picked him. He now owns Ryan’s fiscal policies, and he will be delineated by them — largely because he articulated support for Ryan’s unbalanced approach during the primaries, while Newt Gingrich rejected them as “right-wing social engineering.” In any case, Romney’s own promises to cut taxes on dividends, capital gains the higher income tax margins — all cuts that most benefit the top tier of the top 1 percent — effectively proposes substantially deeper tax cuts than the disastrous George W. Bush cuts of 2001 and 2003. In fact, the Romney/Ryan team presents Americans with a stark choice. Turning ever further to the right, where rich corporations and individuals are given what they want, where health care reform is denied, and where 60 percent of the nation’s safety net is eliminated, is not a sane route for this nation to take. It would hurt 95 percent of Americans, and leave those most in need without the leavening hand of government when they are unemployed, uninsured, young and poor, old and vulnerable, seeking college aid or food stamps or care for chronic conditions. This direction, as the nation’s Catholic bishops have warned, is essentially immoral. The November election has now become a referendum on the nation’s moral character and future prosperity: a choice between looking out for the common good, or nurturing a Darwinian rapaciousness. Debate on Scouts’ gay ban persists When the Boys Scouts of America reaffirmed its no-gays policy last month, the immediate reaction was predictable. Liberal advocacy and gay rights groups, for the most part, denounced it. Conservative groups — religious, political and civic — generally supported it. One group with strong BSA ties took longer to make its views known. Eagle Scouts, those who earned the organization’s highest rank, are similarly divided over the issue, but those distressed by the policy are now taking dramatic action to protest the ban. They are returning their cherished, hard-won medals. No one is sure how many Eagle Scouts have returned their badges, but the count seems to be growing. So does the number of Eagle Scouts who have sent pictures and letters to media outlets and Scout offices to protest the policy, or who have condemned the policy but say they will keep their medal and work actively to reverse the ban. The total already might be in the tens of thousands. Boy Scout officials refuse to provide a count of Eagle Scouts who have returned medals or officially made their disagreement known. A spokesman did say that the group respects the protesters’ right “to express their opinion.” Perhaps the organization believes silence will shorten the lifespan of the protest against the ban on openly gay youth and adults as members and leaders. That’s extremely unlikely. The protest is too heartfelt to expire soon. Typical of the disgusted engendered by reaffirmation of the ban are remarks from a physician in Illinois and a lawyer in Kentucky, both holders of the Eagle medal. “I can no longer maintain any connection to an organization which actively promotes such a bigoted and misguided policy,” said Dr. Robert Wise. “To that end, I am interested in removing all evidence that I was ever a Scout.” Jackson Cooper, from Louisville, said he was unsure if any of his fellow Scouts were gay. “But I do know,” he wrote, “that my now deceased mother, a lesbian, would not have been allowed to serve as a den mother if her orientation had been public knowledge. The thought that I have invested such a large part of my life with an organization that would have turned my own mother away breaks my heart.” Eagle Scouts, arguably, are the most visible proponents of Scouting, and their voices should be heard. BSA officials should heed the protesters, not stifle or ignore them. The BSA should revisit the reaffirmation of its ban on gays rather than adamantly say the topic is closed to additional discussion. Doing so would acknowledge the increasing inclusiveness of U.S. society and honor the rules in the handbook which call on Scouts (and, by inference, Scouting) to respect and defend the rights of all people. Refusing to do so should and will extend the current debate. COMMENTARY Likability index WASHINGTON — Isn’t it amazing? Two introverts facing off in the brightest spotlight of all for president. M i t t Romney and Barack O b a m a are at their most appealing Maureen when they Dowd are with their families. Unfortunately, we don’t often get that vantage point. And beyond those circles of trust, both men can seem as if they are sealed in their own spaceships. The big difference, the one that will probably decide this presidential race, is this: Barack Obama is able to convey an impression of likability to voters. Given how private he is, an enigma even to some who are close to him, it’s an incredible performance. That likability slips through your hands at closer range. The president survived a “raised by wolves” upbringing, as Michelle has called it. He retained the monastic skills that sustained him through the solitude of his years in New York. His “winning smile,” as Jonathan Alter wrote in “The Promise,” “obscured a layer of self-protective ice.” His staffers respect him, but he doesn’t inspire the kind of adoration that the Bush presidents got. And the pillow-plumping romance with the press is over. The New York Times’ Amy Chozick wrote that the president “has come to believe the news media have had a role in frustrating his ambitions to change the terms of the country’s political discussion.” He can be thin-skinned ■ Barack Obama is able to convey an impression of likability to voters. Given how private he is, an enigma even to some who are close to him, it’s an incredible performance. and insecure at times, but he radiates self-sufficiency, such a clean, simple aesthetic that he could have been designed by Steve Jobs — Siri without the warmth. Yet voters see something genuine, and that is why Obama seems to be surviving the stalled economy and his own chuckleheaded remark: “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” A recent USA Today/Gallup poll showed Romney with higher marks on fixing the deficit, jobs, taxes and the economy. But Obama soared on personal traits — maintaining a 30-point advantage in likability, and better numbers on honesty, trust and empathy. Romney advisers attributed his free fall in the polls to brass-knuckle Obama ads and summer doldrums rather than Mitt dullness. Maybe voters think Romney is already so sheathed in secret bubbles — Bain, Mormonism, his stint as governor of a liberal state — that electing him to the biggest bubble of all, the White House, would not be a good idea. Even Republicans seem to have given up defending Mitt’s charms. As John Boehner memorably put it, “The American people probably aren’t going to fall in love with Mitt Romney.” Some say Romney waited too long to put up his biographical ads and give personal interviews, letting himself be defined and slimed by the Obama ads. “The Obama camp can raise a ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner on their summer project,” said Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor and former Obama chief of staff. “With Romney’s help, they have defined Romney as a man with total disregard for the struggles of the middle class.” Once a candidate gains the advantage in “Who do you want to have a beer with?” — even if he doesn’t drink beer — it’s very hard to reverse. When Obama does rough ads, it allays the fear that he’s the sort who can get rolled by the banks, by the generals, by the Republicans in the House. When Romney does rough ads, it reinforces the fear that he’s unfeeling and a bit of a bully marketed by political mercenaries. With only two weeks to go before the convention, the question burns: Will Mitt’s new mate, Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, make his run more personable? You can bolster your relatability with your No. 2 pick, at least with certain demographics, as Obama did with Joe Biden. But Americans like to like their president. “You can’t outsource likability,” Emanuel says. “You can’t have an offshore account for it in the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands.” In The Wall Street Journal last week, Karl Rove urged Mitt to reveal his character in his convention speech by talking openly about “his father’s modest upbringing, his wife’s illness and his wealth.” Obama lost the thread of his narrative of hope and change, and Romney never developed one, even on his supposed specialty, the economy. New York Times News Service Letters to the Editors —— ❖ —— Seek protection from violence In the peaceful, Utopian world of Mr. Cook (column, Aug. 8), it would seem that dangerous predators are rare. So rare, in fact, that he reduces heinous violence to a mere statistic. The incredible odds of his logic state that acts of violence are more rare than getting struck by lightning. Churches, theaters, parks and even homes are safe havens where personal protection is not needed. I suppose that those victims of unspeakable violence were just unlucky. Where have the most headline- grabbing acts of violence occurred? Churches, theaters, schools and during home invasions. Gang-related violence, including wild shots fired into a crowd in a public park, should be still fresh in many Chattanooga residents’ minds. Those acts are what cause many law-abiding citizens to seek ways to protect themselves. Churches and schools should be safe sanctuaries but we know that it is only a false sense of security at best. Common sense tells us to seek shelter when lightning is present. JERRY MacCAULEY Obama works to cooperate When Barack Obama ran for president in 2008, he had been a U.S. senator not quite four years. His Senate record stands among the most liberal. Legislation bearing his name was passed for armament reduction and federal transparency and relief aid. He worked to reform lobbying, campaign financing, election, immigration. He legislated for climate control, troop reduction, Iran divestment and nuclear terrorism reduction. George Bush vetoed his legislation for state children’s health insurance program and military family job protections. Obama was miraculously elected president, bringing with him the hopes and dreams he had acted on in the Senate. But his election followed entrenched Republican congressional rule from 1994 until 2006 and eight years of Bush/Cheney policies culminating in two wars and world economic disaster. The aftermath of those policies will continue to affect the country and world for generations. Obama is by nature a patient consensus builder and has worked hard to cooperate with Republicans, receiving nothing in return. In a second term he will be free to act out of his progressive core. Finally, as president over next term, he could possibly nominate three Supreme Court justices to break up the politicized Republican majority on the court. FAYE WALTER Sewanee, Tenn. Littlefield wrong on gun legislation Mayor Ron Littlefield is way off base yet again in his Sunday editorial column (Aug. 12, in the Perspective section). With his fellow leftwing, anti-gun Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns and most liberals, he immediately jumps to “more gun laws ... more gun laws!” The liberal solution to all problems is more laws! Let’s see, using Hizhonor’s first example: Mathews illegally left his halfway house, his relatives broke federal law by buying guns for him, he broke federal and state law by possessing a gun, the person he traded with was apparently an unlicensed “gun dealer” breaking numerous laws, it was illegal for Mathews to rob a pawn shop, it was illegal for him to kill officer Tim Chapin, it was illegal for him to resist arrest, it was illegal, etc., etc. Hizhonor’s solution is to pass a law that would make it illegal to bequeath my firearms to my children or trade a gun with my nextdoor neighbor ... right. As for the mass killings, the mayor should lobby for a nut-free-zone law. If Hizhonor had lived in prehistoric times, he would wish to limit the number and size of rocks — the original assault weapon.

Letters to the Editors —— ❖ —— We live in a world where evil exists David Cook’s commentary (Aug. 8) charging the NRA with treason because it represents those of us who wish to be able to defend ourselves is ludicrous. He accuses the NRA of a “fear-based narrative that sees other people as potential criminals instead of neighbors, citizens or children of God ...” Anyone who would buy into that thinking should stop and ask themselves why police officers carry guns, as well as other weapons. Unfortunately, we live in a real world where evil exists. I believe his reference to Tennessee Rep. Debra Maggart and the old familiar “guns in bars” line in the same paragraph is telling. There’s no mileage left in the “guns in bars” premise, so it’s time to criticize the NRA for political choices. I suspect most NRA members do not feel betrayed by the NRA as Cook suggests. Quite the opposite. It’s refreshing to see a politician like Maggart go when unresponsive to the citizens represented! Treason? The NRA is made up of millions of American citizens. Most of us value representative government. Last time I checked, it wasn’t treasonable to lobby a representative or work to remove one from office. But Cook would have readers think so! DONALD R.

JOHN BERGEN Evil on rampage in Muslim world Muslims throughout the world are in the midst of a monthlong fasting, hoping they will come a little closer to Allah and become more righteous. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims give alms to the less fortunate, read the Quran, offer extra prayers than the five times of day they are allotted. Fasting is a good religious tradition that the Quran prescribes: “O’ ye who believe! There is prescribed for you the fast ... that ye may ward off evil ...” But the evil is on rampage throughout the Muslim world. Muslims are killing Muslims, they are fleeing their homes, there is a restlessness and no peace. The dream of the nearness to Allah and becoming more righteous has been dashed in the dust and smoke caused by their own brothers. Muhammad Iqbal, a poet and philosopher, wrote: “With the passion of religion Muslims have built Mosques in a short time, but their evil hearts have never become adherent to true worship.” Evil is so pervasive in human life that all the fasting, praying, alms giving and all good deeds cannot make human beings righteous. And I wonder who shall rescue us from evil? AMOS TAJ Ooltewah What’s really important? I may have lived too long. The Times Free Press has informed me of the following newsworthy events: 1.

By Carey O’Neil Staff Writer Staff File Photo by Jake Daniels Michael Kramer, president of FSG, stands in front of the headquarters of FSG Bank. FSG chief optimistic Cutting bad loans, selling stock could offset mounting losses By Dave Flessner Staff Writer C hattanooga’s biggest community bank reported a bigger quarterly loss this spring, but bank officials said Monday they have reduced the number of problem loans and could try to strengthen the undercapitalized bank by selling more stock. First Security Group, the parent company of FSG Bank, lost nearly $7.3 million, or $4.82 per share, in the second quarter of 2012. The net loss was nearly 35 percent greater than a year ago and brought the cumulative red ink for FSG over “ We firmly believe that our asset quality issues are well-defined and that we have the ability to resolve them. ” — Michael Kramer, FSG president the past three and a half years to more than $120 million. But in a statement Monday, FSG President Michael Kramer said the $1.1 billion asset bank is reducing its delinquent loans and attracting more core deposits. “We continue to grow deposit market share and are building an excellent team of bankers to transform FSG Bank into the bank of choice in our markets,” said Kramer, who was hired last fall to help turn around the fortunes of First Security Group after the bank dismissed founding CEO Rodger Holley. Kramer noted that the number of “special mention” classif ied loans — often regarded as the leading indicator of future potential problem loans — have been cut in half this year. Bank-owned repossessed property is down by 20 percent so far this year. FSG had to write off or write down the value of much of its real estate loan portfolio because of the housing slump and subsequent fall in construction and property values. “We firmly believe that our asset quality issues are well-defined and that we have the ability to resolve them,” Kramer said. Nonetheless, First Security Group still is not in See BANK, Page C4 Hundreds of Chickamauga and Ringgold residents voiced opposition Monday night to a proposed state mandate that local phone executives say could as much as double some telephone line charges.

The move isn’t surprising given years of plummeting sales at Motorola, but it signals that Google doesn’t intend to drag Motorola along as a money-losing venture. Google’s stock rose $16.67, or 2.6 percent, to $658.67 in afternoon trading Monday following the announcement. The reductions represent about 20 percent of Motorola Mobility’s 20,000 employees and 7 percent of Google’s overall work force. Google says two-third of the job cuts will take place outside of the United States. Google, which has been growing for more than a decade, doesn’t have a history of mass layoffs. In previous rounds of layoffs, Google at most had cut a few hundred workers. Motorola, however, cut thousands of jobs in recent years as its cellphone division saw sales plummet. It hasn’t produced a mass-market hit since it introduced the Razr cellphone in 2004. Motorola now makes phones that run on Google’s Android system, but rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co. have been more successful at it. Motorola split into two in early 2011. Google snapped up Motorola Mobility, the half that makes cellphones and cable set-top boxes, for $12.4 billion. Motorola Solutions, which makes police scanners and other professional products, remains a separate company. The Motorola deal is Google’s largest acquisition ever and plunges it into the business of consumer products. It puts Google in a position of competing with the same companies it considers partners. Google has pledged to keep the Motorola hardware business separate from its Android software division and promised to treat Motorola like an outside company. It turned to AsusTek Computer Inc. rather than its own division to make a Googlebranded tablet computer called Nexus 7. The Associated Press A Motorola Mobility Xoom tablet is shown at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. Google announced it is cutting about 4,000 jobs at its Motorola Mobility cellphone business and will close or consolidate about one-third of its 90 locations. THE STRATEGY Google’s chief goal in buying Motorola was to use its large patent portfolio to bolster its legal defenses. Apple has been suing Samsung, Motorola and other makers of Android smartphones, saying they copied the iPhone. By acquiring Motorola’s patents and transferring them to Android phone makers such as HTC Corp., Google can bolster their legal defenses and set them up to counter-sue Apple. Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt wrote in a morning report, before Google’s FedEx to offer buyouts due to cost increases for 2013 By Tiffany Hsu Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — FedEx Corp., the second-largest shipping company in the world, will offer voluntary buyouts to U.S. employees in order to cut costs and boost efficiency, the company said Monday. The Memphis, Tenn.based company didn’t say how many workers it hopes to shed — just that it will provide more details during an investors meeting in early October. Among the more than 300,000 FedEx employees, the “vast majority” of buyouts will likely come from the company’s express and services units. Workers nearing retirement also are eligible, the company said. In June, the package In its 2012 fiscal year, which ended May 31, FedEx reported a profit of $2.03 billion, or $6.41 a share, up from $1.45 billion, or $4.57 a share, a year earlier. delivery giant lowered its forecast for its fiscal 2013 year due to “certain cost increases.” The company said it would announce “significant cost reduction programs” in the fall. Capital spending for the year would fall, FedEx said, with fewer aircraft deliveries through express as more clients save money with slower methods. The company said it will focus more on its “high-margin, highreturn” ground business. Consumer confidence hit its lowest level of the year in July, as hiring and wages in the U.S. took a hit while instability in Europe and the threat of a fiscal cliff loomed. “ Th e s e h e ad w i n d s include higher employeerelated costs, including higher pension expenses . as well as higher depreciation costs,” Chief Financial Officer Alan B. Graf Jr. said in a statement. “We expect to mitigate these challenges by reducing costs and improving efficiencies, and are continuing to evaluate additional actions to substantially improve FedEx Express margins.” announcement, that he believes Google is limiting its ambitions for Motorola Mobility, a strategy he believes to be good for investors. Devitt expects Google to curtail Motorola to producing just a few smartphone designs per year and perhaps some tablets as well. Before the acquisition, Motorola had been trying to turn itself around by focusing on smartphones, which have higher profit margins than regular cellphones. In the first quarter, Motorola sold 5.1 million smartphones and 3.7 million “dumb” phones. The cuts announced Monday will shift the company toward smartphones even further. The migration toward smartphones has slowed Motorola’s decline, but it has still lost money in 14 out of the past 16 quarters. Google said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the latest cuts are intended to make the business profitable. But the company warned that investors should expect revenue to fluctuate over the next few quarters, and sales will drop before savings take effect. Severance payments will cost Google about $275 million, which will largely be charged in the current quarter. South Carolina maritime panel backs widened river complaint By Bruce Smith The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. — The state commission overseeing South Carolina’s interests on the Savannah River joined environmental groups Monday in asking that a federal judge rule the $650 million deepening of the river’s shipping channel is subject to South Carolina’s environmental laws. The Savannah River Maritime Commission filed documents in federal court in Charleston saying U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel should settle the question. Environmental groups in both Georgia and South Carolina originally sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saying the deepening work needs a permit under South Carolina’s Pollution Control Act. Maritime interests say the river deepening is needed so the Georgia ports can han- dle the larger container ships that will routinely be calling when the Panama Canal is expanded in 2014. The lawsuit was brought by the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of the Savannah Riverkeeper, based in Augusta, Ga., as well as the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League and the South Carolina Wildlife Federation. The original suit said the corps needs a state pollution permit because toxic cadmium in river silt will be dumped in a dredge spoils area on the South Carolina side of the river. Court documents note there are two exemptions under which the corps might not be subject to the permitting requirements of the Clean Water Act, which requires federal agencies to adhere to state environmental rules.

Unit 2 of Millstone Power Station has occasionally shut for maintenance or other issues, but in its 37-year history it has never gone down due to excessively warm water, spokesman Ken Holt said on Monday. Water from Long Island Sound is used to cool key components of the plant and is discharged back into the sound. The water cannot be warmer than 75 degrees and following the hottest July on record has been averaging 1.7 degrees above the limit, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said. The federal agency issued an “emergency license amendment” last week, allowing Millstone, a subsidiary of Dominion Resources Inc., to use an average temperature of several readings. “It wasn’t enough to prevent us from shutting down,” Holt said. Richmond, Va.-based Dominion does not have an estimate of when the unit will restart, Holt said. Millstone provides half of all power used in Connecticut and 12 percent in New England. Its two units produce 2,100 megawatts of electricity, which is reduced by 40 percent with Unit 2 down, Holt said. Marcia Blomberg, a spokeswoman for regional grid operator ISO-New England, said the loss of electricity will not be a major problem. The Holyoke, Mass.-based agency generally operates with a margin of reserve and plans for the possibility of lost resources, she said. In addition to the extreme heat last month, the mild winter didn’t help because it kept Long Island Sound water unusually mild, Holt said. Dave Lochbaum, director of the Union of Concerned Scientists’ nuclear safety project, said he believes the partial Millstone shutdown is the first involving a nuclear plant Sears spins off stores into separate companies Bank Subsidies • Continued from Page C1 mostly gray-haired crowd that voiced opposition to the proposed subsidy cuts and subsequent rate increase. “This affects a lot of people who don’t have any income other than Social Security,” the 74-year-old said after Monday night’s meeting. Mark McDonald, general manager of Chickamauga Telephone Co., said AT&T’s recommended cut in subsidies would necessitate a dramatic rate increase and possible staff cuts. “We’d have to make it up somewhere,” he said. “We don’t want that. That would be a last resort.” Ringgold Telephone Co. already has reduced its staff by more than half. The subsidies both companies receive come from a Universal Service Fund paid from a 1.4 percent tax on Georgia’s telecommuni- 28, according to Sears, which is trying to turn around its business and spruce up its image. It has already closed five Hometown stores, eight hardware stores and one Outlet store. Sears, which also owns Kmart, has looked at spinoffs and real estate sales to restore profitability and boost shareholder confidence. Aside from the separation of the Hometown, Outlet and some hardware stores, the company announced in May that it would spin off a stake in its Canada division. In its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores Inc. said that it expects to raise $346.5 million through a rights offering. In connection with the deal and prior to the separation, it will take out an asset-backed PROPOSED RATE INCREASES AT&T is requesting Georgia regulators lower the amount of subsidies available to a pair of local phone companies. Local telephone officials say the changes could cause dramatic line rate increases — not total bill increases — by April of next year: Ringgold Telephone Co. ■ Residential — 20 percent increase ■ Business — 37 percent increase Chickamauga Telephone Co. ■ Residential — 42 percent increase ■ Business — 100 percent increase Source: Chickamauga and Ringgold Telephone companies cation companies’ income. The money helps rural phone companies provide access to homes and businesses that otherwise would be unprofitable. Georgia has required local phone companies to provide that service for more than half a century. Though cell phones help provide service to a number of rural customers, Howard pointed out that service is not universal and often less personal than service provided by community phone groups. “If I have a problem with my computer, they’re out here Johnny on the spot and take care of the problem,” he said. “Any other large conglomerate isn’t going to do that.” But services such as cable and Internet access offered by local phone companies aren’t regulated by the state. AT&T called for state officials to examine whether subsidies are necessary to keep only the phone service line of credit from which it will draw $75 million to $100 million to fund a cash dividend. That would bring the total proceeds to be paid to Sears Holdings to as much as $446.5 million and is in line with its previously stated goal of raising between $400 million and $500 million. The news sent the company’s stock up $2.94, or 5.7 percent, to close at $54.36 Monday. going. Pat Wingo, AT&T’s assistant vice president of regulatory affairs, said both Ringgold and Chickamauga telephone companies deserve subsidies, but not at the current levels. He said Chickamauga Telephone could take $700,000 less out of state funds if the company brought its business and special service rates to the average rural rate across the state. “We’re not recommending that they have to go up, just that those differences don’t come out of the Universal Service Fund,” he said. The Georgia Public Service Commission will decide by Oct. 16 whether to limit the subsidies for the Chickamauga and Ringgold telephone companies. If limited, the two companies would have to request approval for a rate increase, a process that could last until April 2013. Contact Carey O’Neil at [email protected] or 423-757-6525.

But Kramer said the executive and strategic changes adopted by the bank’s board last year should eventually put FSG back on a firm foundation for future growth. “Management is pursuing various options to restore First Security’s capital to a satisfactory level, including, but not limited to, a private stock placement,” FSG Chief Financial Officer John Haddock said in the bank’s regulatory filing. “Since December 2011, management has been in preliminary discussions with multiple potential investors. While no letters of intent or binding commitments have been executed, in management’s opinion, the reaction of potential investors has generally been positive and has led to continuing discussions.” First Security Group lost $35.4 million in 2009, $46.4 million in 2010 and $25.1 million last year.

Who’s next? By Stephen Hargis Staff Writer Replacing departed stars from the previous season is a ritual every high school football team faces. But whether it’s because of versatility, game-breaking speed or just being the toughest hombres on the field, some are tougher to replace than others. Here are the top five biggest sets of shoes to fill from last season: 1. ALEX KIRBY CALHOUN LINEBACKER Last year’s stats: He was the hammer in the middle of one of the state’s top-ranked defenses, leading the area with 141 tackles (98 solo) to go with 12 tackles for loss, four fumble recoveries, a touchdown fumble return and a safety. Time to shine: Chaz Horton (6-0, 200, senior). He started at offensive guard last year and has game experience on defense but now must set the tone on that side of the ball. The coaches say the fact he plays hard on every snap is reason to believe he can take on that role. Quote: “Alex is a throw-back kid, a hard-nosed type guy who is very, very physical. He loves the contact and had a knack for reading a play and getting there in a hurry to make the stop. We don’t expect anybody to completely fill in for what all he could do, but Chaz has a lot of ability.” — Calhoun coach Hal Lamb 2. BRANDON SMITH BLEDSOE COUNTY RUNNING BACK Last year’s stats: One of the most versatile players in the area, he had 1,428 yards and 21 TDs rushing as well as 709 yards and eight TDs receiving. He also provided key plays as the strong safety on defense. Time to shine: Senior Jeremiah Gilbert (6-1, 175) has been one of the Warriors’ best receivers for two years and still will be counted on heavily in that role. However, his experience and versatility likely mean he also will get some carries out of the backfield, and Brandon Smith he is expected to be a defensive leader at safety. Quote: “Brandon’s a very explosive kid who could avoid defenders and make it look easy for us. He’s one of the better backs this school has had in a while. We don’t have one kid who can do what he did.” — Bledsoe County coach Jason Reel 3. MALEEK ROOKS BRAINERD RECEIVER Last year’s stats: He totaled more than 2,200 all-purpose yards and had 17 touchdowns and was the Panthers’ region’s player of the year. He also intercepted four passes. Time to shine: Senior Jacoby Ramsey will play running back, quarterback, receiver, linebacker and free safety this season. He moves well and has particularly good hands. Quote: “The only thing we can do is play together as a team. No one man is going to fill [Rooks’] role.” — Brainerd coach Stanley Jackson. 4. JUSTIN HOUSTON BAYLOR OFFENSIVE LINE Last year’s stats: The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Vanderbilt signee became the fourth Baylor player to win the state’s Division II Mr. Football award. A three-year starter on the offensive line, where the Red Raiders ran much of their attack behind his blocks, he also played on the defensive line during key games, including throughout the playoffs. Time to shine: Derek Green (6-0, 315), a senior two-year starter, was the right guard but moved to left tackle. His experience, size and athletic footwork can protect the quarterback’s back side. Quote: “Not only was [Gouger] a consistent player on the line, but he was a leader in the huddle. He did some twoway playing for us when we needed him. When it was crunch time, he was the guy we counted on to run behind for the tough yards.” — Baylor coach Phil Massey THE BLITZ IS BACK The Associated Press ATLANTA — Eric Stults combined with two relievers on a five-hitter, Chase Headley homered and drove in two runs and the San Diego Padres beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Monday night. Stults (3-2) gave up five hits 2 and one run in 7 ⁄3 innings — his longest start in three years. While with the Dodgers, Stults beat the Giants 8-0 on May 9, 2009, his last complete game. The Padres, who had a sixgame winning streak snapped on Sunday, have won eight of 10 for the first time this season. No. 3 Reese Phillips Signal Mountain — quarterback ■ Schools recruiting: Has committed to Kentucky. ■ Why do you wear No. 11? It’s a family thing, just what I was raised into. My grandfather wore it as did my dad, my brother, my uncle and my cousin. Phillips puts recruiting in the past Staff Writer claimed off waivers from the White Sox on May 17. He has won two straight starts, includ1 ing 5 ⁄3 innings in a 2-0 win over the Cubs on Aug. 6. See BRAVES, Page D4 See DOZEN, Page D5 Atlanta to five hits and Chase Headley homered in yet another Monday loss for the Braves. The Associated Press Atlanta left fielder Martin Prado makes a sliding catch to retire San Diego’s Carlos Quentin in the first inning Monday. Dale Thayer pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save. Mike Minor (6-9) gave up three runs and nine hits in six innings. Stults has worked in relief and as a starter since he was Staff photo by Jake Daniels There are schools still interested in Reese Phillips, but the Signal Mountain High School quarterback has tuned out. Ranked No. 3 on the Times Free Press Dynamite Dozen, Phillips committed on June 6 while on an unofficial visit to Kentucky’s Wildcats. His summer was most enjoyable. “Summer was good. I haven’t had a lot to do since I committed,” he said. “Now spring was hectic, but I actually had a normal teenager’s summer — working out but also spending time with my friends and doing some swimming. I relaxed, which was nice.” Recruiters were in and out of Signal Mountain during the spring, often tripping over each other as Phillips threw and at least waving to each other as they passed going up and down the mountain. A pair of mid-major school recruiters tendered scholarship offers before they left the campus and one knew it was a lost cause. “He’s the best I’ve seen and I’ve been all the way to Texas, but we’ll never get a chance to sign him,” one of them said. He was most prophetic. Less than a week later Kentucky quarterback coach Randy Sanders stopped by. He also wanted to offer on the spot but had to wait because Wildcats coach Joker Phillips was out of the country. “My mom and I went up there to look over the campus — the dorms, the facilities and the academic support for athletes,” ■ San Diego’s starter limits Yonder Alonso had three hits and Chris Denorfia had two hits and scored two runs for the Padres. Stults lost his bid for a shutout in the eighth when Michael Bourn singled and scored on Martin Prado’s triple into the right-field corner. Luke Gregerson struck out Jason Heyward to end the inning.

Braves no match for Stults, Padres By Charles Odum See VOLS, Page D6 BRADLEY CENTRAL ATHLETE Last year’s stats: He ran for more than 1,100 yards, averaging 11 per carry, and had 13 touchdowns. He also had more than 500 receiving yards, averaging 20 per catch, and five reception TDs. He set the table for the offense as a kick and punt returner, and he returned an interception for a score in a two-point win over Ooltewah. Time to shine: It will take the combination of juniors Baylor Terrell (5-8, 150) and Dee Crisp (6-2, 190) to give the Bears the big-play capability that Houston brought. Quote: “The biggest thing was Justin’s speed. At any moment he could change the game for us.” — Bradley coach Damon Floyd 5. BARRETT GOUGER ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — The University of Tennessee’s defense doesn’t know who its star will be this season. The Volunteers have a pretty good idea who their “Star” will be, though. It’s essentially the nickelback position in coordinator Sal Sunseri’s scheme, and Eric Gordon has had his sights set on the position since the offseason began. His time at the nickelback position last season certainly has helped. “I just feel I’ve locked down on my technique a little better, but everything I feel like is going pretty well,” the Nashville native said Monday morning after Tennessee finished the first of two practices on the team’s fourth day at Milligan College. “I’m very comfortable at the Star position. I’ve been playing it for a while, so it’s a comfortable fit for me.” The 5-foot-9, 190-pound third-year junior had just one tackle in Saturday’s scrimmage at Science Hill High School, but he made a handful of plays from the spot in 2011. The most memorable one was the game-winning interception return for a score against Vanderbilt. Yet it’s always seemed to be feast-or-famine for a noted risk-taker. For every moment he showed up last season — an interception against Middle Tennessee State or a big hit against tailback Isaiah Crowell against Georgia for lost yardage — there were just as many moments he was nowhere to be seen. Gordon had no tackles ■ To contact Sports • Phone: 423-757-6273 • Fax: 423-668-5049 • Email: [email protected] Tuesday, August 14, 2012 • • .. timesfreepress.com ..

Mattie Keener of Dunlap was the Junior Dragster winner; Kate Jordan of Scottsboro was second. BASKETBALL ■ Tennessee Temple University has signed a legitimate big man for its first basketball season under coach Brac Brady: 6-foot-9 John Jones from Chattahoochee Tech. Jones grew up in Louisiana but moved to Cobb County, Ga., in time to play three years of basketball for Campbell High School in Smyrna, interrupted by his junior season at Wheeler High in Marietta. He averaged about 10 points and eight rebounds John Jones a game as a Campbell senior, graduating in 2008, and about 10 points and seven rebounds two years later as a Chattahoochee Tech freshman, when he was limited by injury but played most of the second half of the season. He played only seven games for the two-year school last season. “First of all he’s a nice kid. We might have to work to get the nasty out of him on the court,” Brady said. “He’s big and athletic. He jumps well and moves well for a guy his size. I think he’s the kind of kid who can have an immediate impact.” Jones had discussions with some NCAA Division I schools, including Florida A&M and South Carolina State, as well as Columbus State in Division II and NAIAgoing-NCAA Lee University. His recruiting process was hampered, he said, because he has been helping his twin sister raise her three children, and Lee assistant coach Ezell Dodd said it was a “pleasant surprise” to learn Jones “was still available.” Staff Reports SPORTSBRIEFS Ex-WBA champ Dokes, 54, dies AKRON, Ohio — Michael Dokes, a former World Boxing Association heavyweight champion, died Saturday, according to the Rhoden Memorial Home in Akron. He was 54. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that the boxer died in an Akron hospice from liver cancer. Dokes won the heavyweight title at 24 in December 1982, when referee Joey Curtis made a controversial decision to stop his fight against champion Mike Weaver. Dokes dominated the first round over Weaver, prompting the decision. An admitted problem with cocaine helped him lose the WBA title only nine months later to Gerrie Coetzee, however, and Dokes never held the heavyweight crown again. Known as “Dynamite” Dokes because he packed a powerful punch, he had a career record of 536-2. He last fought in November 1997, when he weighed 280 pounds. MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ■ CHARLESTON, S.C. — Authorities say more tests will be needed to determine what caused the death of a 30-year-old mixed martial arts fighter from Georgia who collapsed after a weekend bout in Mount Pleasant. Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten said Monday’s autopsy was not conclusive and a microscopic exam of heart and brain tissue will be needed. Those tests could take up to two months. Authorities say Tyrone Mims of Augusta, Ga., collapsed after the fight and was pronounced dead about 9:30 p.m. Saturday. The mixed martial arts event at Omar Shrine Temple at Patriots Point was called “Fight Night at the Point 6.” Wire Reports MARKTRAIL Sunday’s winning numbers: Cash 3 Midday: 5-3-9 Cash 4 Midday: 8-7-5-8 Georgia FIVE Midday: 4-8-7-1-9 Cash 3 Evening: 3-1-0 Cash 4 Evening: 5-3-2-1 Georgia FIVE Evening: 4-5-5-8-3 Fantasy 5: 13-18-21-22-23 ■ SPORTS EDITOR Jay Greeson (423) 757-6273 [email protected] ■ DEPUTY SPORTS EDITOR Ron Bush (423) 757-6291 [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Jim Tanner (423) 757-6478 [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Ward Gossett (423) 757-6288 [email protected] by phone: (423) 757-6364 or 1-800-733-2637 • by fax: (423) 668-5049 • by e-mail: [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Stephen Hargis (423) 757-6293 [email protected] ... . timesfreepress.com • • • Tuesday, August 14, 2012 • D3 Breaking News: [email protected] Gary Nicklaus finally gets chance at Cherry Hill The Associated Press AURORA, Colo. — After missing the 1990 U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills because of a heart ailment, Gary Nicklaus, the son of the legendary golfer, was back Monday in Colorado as a 43-year-old competing with 311 other golfers in this year’s edition of the amateur. A small gallery that included his father and mother, Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, watched the younger Nicklaus tee off at the 7,378-yard, par-70 CommonGround Golf Course, which along with Cherry Hills is being used over two days of stroke-play qualifying. Gary Nicklaus finished the opening round 1 over par and is tied for 64th. The top 64 finishers will advance CLOSER TO HOME MTSU golfer Brett Patterson from McMinnville shot a 1-over-par 71 at the CommonGround course in the opening round of the U.S. Amateur. On the par-71 Cherry Hills Course, UTC senior Steven Fox opened with a 72, while former Baylor School and current University of Georgia golfer Keith Mitchell shot a 76. to match play, which begins Wednesday and will be played on the 7,409-yard, par-71 course at Cherry Hills Country Club. Any ties will be resolved by a playoff prior to the commencement of match play, which concludes Sunday. On the first day of qualifying, Bobby Wyatt, 20, of Mobile, Ala., was in the lead after shooting a 7-under 64 at the Cherry Hills course. He’ll conclude qualifying play today on the CommonGround course. Twenty-two years ago, Gary Nicklaus was an up-and-coming golfer who inspired comparisons to his father, a four-time U.S. Open and two-time U.S. amateur champion. But Gary Nicklaus fell ill on the eve of the ‘90 tournament and spent a week in the hospital undergoing treatment for pericarditis, or inflammation of the heart. He turned pro a year later but never managed to duplicate the success he had as an amateur, losing his PGA Tour card nine years ago. The younger Nicklaus, who resides in Jupiter, Fla., gave up pro golf in favor of joining the family’s golf course design and apparel business. He kept playing the game, though, and in 2007 he was reinstated as an amateur. He qualified for this year’s amateur during sectional play in Wellington, Fla. Wyatt, who plays for the University of Alabama, birdied four of the first five holes en route to his front-running status on the first day of qualifying. “Hopefully, I can play a good round [today],” Wyatt said. “I am feeling really good about my game right now. Hopefully, I can carry it along all week.” Wyatt’s teammate at Alabama, Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky., was among five players tied for second at 5 under. Thomas, the Jack Nicklaus award winner as the top collegiate golfer a year ago, shot a 65 at the CommonGround course. He did not miss a green during a bogey-free round that also included three birdies and an eagle. “I hit it pretty well,” Thomas said. “I just took advantage of my scoring opportunities. I’m obviously going to be pleased anytime I shoot a 65.” Serena goes for Cincinnati title The Associated Press By George Henry The Associated Press FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — As he prepares for his fifth season as starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, Matt Ryan is grateful for all the rest he can get. The Falcons’ coaching staff films each pass Ryan throws in practice before and during the season to give the team an exact number of the wear and tear on his right arm. It’s an approach Atlanta started in 2008 when general manager Thomas Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith were hired and Ryan was drafted with the NFL’s third overall pick. Ryan has missed just two games in his career, and none since Week 14 of the 2009 season. “I feel great,” Ryan said Monday. “My body feels really, really good, but we’re just trying to stay on top of it. Ryan had a “day off ” earlier this month, still throwing passes in light drills, but leaving the bulk of the firstteam offense work to backups Chris Redman, John Parker Wilson and rookie Dominique Davis. Every little bit of rest helps Ryan, who passed for a franchise single-season high 4,177 yards last season. His arm was far more affected, however, by the 24 sacks and 84 hits he absorbed from opponents. “Smitty was kind enough to give me a day to rest [10 days ago], which was good and it helps out,” Ryan said. “We put it on a date after a day off so it was back to back days where I got two days of rest. Just kind of monitoring it.” As is the custom with most NFL teams’ starting quarterback, Ryan is unlikely to play past the first quarter of Atlanta’s second preseason game on Thursday when the Falcons host Cincinnati. In last week’s home loss to Baltimore, Ryan completed 9 of 13 passes for 155 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His night ended after Jacquizz Rodgers ran for a short touchdown that gave the Falcons a 140 lead on the first play of the second quarter. “It was a great start, and that’s all it was because it was one quarter, but I thought he was very efficient,” Smith said. “I think it’s something you’ve seen as a trend throughout training camp. I thought in our work [in practice at Coahulla Creek High School early last week] against the [Tennessee] Titans he was very efficient and going to the right place for the most part. You saw the same thing on Thursday night in that first quarter. He thought he moved the ball around well.” Julio Jones and Roddy White caught all of Ryan’s completions against Baltimore, and the only other receiver he targeted was rookie Drew Davis on a deep incompletion early in the first. Jones put on an acrobatic show, catching six passes for 109 yards. The second-receiver beat right cornerback Cary Williams for a 7-yard touchdown catch on the left sideline of the end zone and later beat left cornerback Lardarius Webb for a 36-yard grab down the right sideline. “Some of the reads told him to go to Julio, but I think he distributed it very well,” Smith said. “I think he’s not only getting a good chemistry with Julio, but with all of our receivers.” Because he has continued the same positive rapport he had last year with Jones and White, Ryan is likely to incorporate No. 3 receiver Harry Douglas more this week. Douglas missed the Ravens game with a rib injury. “One thing I like about preseason games is it gives you an opportunity to see how things shake out, because you’re not really game-planning for somebody else,” Ryan said. “You’re kind of just adjusting to things on the fly. It’s a good indicator of what guys really know. It’s encouraging to see some of the positive things and some of the negative things.” Cowboys clip Raiders in exhibition opener “We kind of want to see him with some of the other players for a longer period of time,” Munchak said. The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Darren McFadden picked up where he left off before a foot injury cut last season short by gaining 38 yards on Oakland’s first three plays of the exhibition season and the Raiders went on to lose to the Dallas Cowboys 3-0 Monday night. McFadden, who missed the last nine games of 2011 with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, opened with a 4yard run, an 18-yard reception and a 16-yard run to the delight of the Raiders fans. But Carson Palmer threw an interception to Gerald Sensabaugh on the next play for Oakland. Dan Bailey’s 33-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half for Dallas provided the only scoring. Former Red Bank and Tennessee Tech standout Tim Benford saw his first NFL action with the Cowboys on Monday, catching a 9-yard pass from Stephen McGee near the end of the third quarter. Titans to start Locker At Nashville, Jake Locker will get his first start of the preseason on Friday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jaguars get Bussey The Associated Press Oakland running back Lonyae Miller runs against the Dallas Cowboys during the second quarter the Cowboys’ 3-0 win in NFL preseason action. Coach Mike Munchak made the announcement after Monday’s practice that the 2011 first-round pick would start after Matt Hasselbeck started Saturday night’s 27-17 loss in Seattle. “We’ll start Jake on Friday. It gives him an opportunity to start the game from the beginning. Then, Matt will come in and we’ll go from there,” Munchak said. The plan calls for both quarterbacks to play longer than they did in the opener, with Locker going about 20 to 25 plays with the offense. “You want to give them enough to where you can get some drives going. You hope you’re out there longer. You want to get them in the 20s as far as plays,” Munchak said. “It’s a position he hasn’t been in yet. Obviously we started Matt last week and we’ll do the opposite this weekend.” Locker played only one series off the bench with the first team against the Seahawks. At Jacksonville, Fla., the Jacksonville Jaguars claimed second-year linebacker Nate Bussey off waivers from New Orleans on Monday. The Jaguars also waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Charles Gilbert. Bussey was a seventhround pick in the 2011 draft. He spent the season on the Saints practice squad before playing in New Orleans’ playoff win over Detroit. Fairley’s trial delayed Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley’s court hearing on charges including driving under the influence and attempting to elude police has been pushed back to Sept. 26. Mobile, Ala., County District Judge George Hardesty Jr. granted defense attorney Sid Harrell’s request for a delay on Friday. Fairley earlier had a hearing on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in Mobile Municipal Court continued until Nov. 27. with doubles on my mind, so singles was the ultimate goal for me.” And those gold medals are safely tucked away. “My gold medals are in a location I probably shouldn’t say, in case someone wants to go and take them,” she said. “They’re not with me.” Williams now can turn her attention to closing out her hardcourt season, which ends with the U.S. Open starting Aug. 27 in New York. She said her recent success on grass does not have her wishing to play on it more. Kvitova tops Li Na At Montreal, Petra Kvitova outlasted China’s Li Na 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 to take the Rogers Cup title. The 22-year-old Czech earned her first tournament win of the year after taking six titles last year, including Wimbledon. It was the first of Kvitova’s eight career victories to be won in North America. The match featured two Grand Slam champions from 2011, as Li took the French Open. Li is 0-3 in tournament finals this year. Kvitova, seeded fifth, struggled at the start, hitting several balls long. She fell behind 3-1 before she found the range with her forehand and charged back to take the lead. Even then, she needed to save three break points to take a 6-5 lead, then won the set on her fifth break point against the 10th-seeded Li. Belarus shot putter stripped of gold By Stephen Wilson The Associated Press LONDON — Just hours after the close of the Olympics, a female shot putter from Belarus was stripped of her gold Monday in the first case of an athlete losing a medal for doping at the London Games. With the disqualification of Nadzeya Ostapchuk, the gold medal was awarded to Valerie Adams of New Zealand — who winds up as Olympic champion for the second time in a row. The International Olympic Committee said Ostapchuk, a former world champion, tested positive for steroids both before and after winning the shot put last week for her first Olympic gold. After an IOC hearing, she was formally expelled from the games and had her victory and medal removed from the records. She was the eighth athlete, and first medalist, caught during the IOC’s London drug-testing program. “Catching cheats like this sends a message to all those who dope that we will catch them,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams told The Associated Press. Track and field’s governing body, the IAAF, will consider further action against Ostapchuk, who could face a two-year ban from the SUN SPA Missing Olympians A U.N.-run radio station in Congo says four members from the country’s Olympic delegation have gone missing in London. The station reported Monday that judo athlete Cedric Mandembo disappeared after the closing ceremony, and has not been reachable on his mobile phone. He lost his match after 49 seconds. Authorities tell the radio station that the Congolese athlete left the Olympic village with his baggage without saying where he was going. The others who have gone missing are two officials with the boxing and judo teams, and a national athletic official. Already at least seven Cameroonian athletes have failed to return home after the games. Congo has suffered decades of dictatorship and war and remains mired in poverty despite its mineral riches.

CINCINNATI — Serena Williams arrived at the Western & Southern Open with an Olympic gold medal and a chance to win another tournament she had never won before. Really, Serena, you haven’t won here before. During a pre-tournament news conference Monday, Williams was confused about whether she had taken a title in Cincinnati. “I did win this tournament, didn’t I?” she said. “Maybe I didn’t. I can’t keep up. I don’t think I did. OK. Whoops.” She has played the Cincinnati tournament three times, her best showing a semifinal loss in 2006. Williams followed-up her Wimbledon championship in July by overwhelming Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 to win the Olympics singles title. The 31-year-old, ranked No. 4 in the world and seeded second at the $5.7 million event, spent a week training in Paris before arriving in Cincinnati. She still was basking in the glow of winning both the singles and, with older sister Venus, the Olympic doubles championship. “It was really awesome to win both medals at the Olympics,” she said. “I really wanted to win doubles. I know everyone was like, ‘You haven’t won the singles gold, and that’s the only thing big career-wise move that you haven’t won.’ I was like trying to put that out of my mind.

Braves • Continued from Page D1 Stults was dominant early, allowing only one hit in the first five innings. That was nothing new; in his first six starts with the White Sox and Padres, he had a 0.75 ERA in the first four innings. Stults’ problems had come after the fourth, when he had a 6.94 ERA. This time, Stults retained his edge longer into the game. The Braves’ first threat came in the fourth, when Heyward reached on first baseman Alonso’s fielding error with two outs and moved to third on Chipper Jones’ single to left. Freddie Freeman’s groundout ended the inning. Atlanta’s Prado and Heyward had consecutive singles with two outs in the sixth before Jones ended the inning with a fly ball to center. Denorfia led off the second with a double and later scored on Cameron Maybin’s sacrifice fly. Denorfia led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Alonso’s single. Stults singled in the sixth and scored on a single by Headley, who was thrown out as he tried to advance to second. Headley hit his 19th homer off Chad Durbin in the seventh.

NEW YORK — Two weeks ago, Derek Lowe thought his season might be over. He was that disgusted with the way he was pitching. Now, he is a New York Yankees reliever. Lowe signed a contract with the Yankees on Monday, two weeks after being designated for assignment by the Cleveland Indians. “I was honest with myself,” said Lowe. “I said, ‘I’m not going to go back if I can’t figure out what I have to change.”’ A self-professed careerlong “tinkerer,” the 39year-old Lowe spent his brief time out of baseball working on his delivery in Fort Myers, Fla., getting back to the place where he felt he could contribute. When he was released by Cleveland on Friday he had been talking to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Derek San FrancisLowe co and Boston, the team he helped to win the 2004 World Series championship. Lowe started the season 6-1 with a 2.05 ERA, but finished his stint with the Indians in a 2-9 slide. By the end of his time with Cleveland, his slider was coming out like “mashed potatoes.” Orioles get veteran Romero from Indians BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have acquired left-hander J.C. Romero from the Cleveland Indians for minor league infielder Carlos Rojas. Romero began the season with St. Louis, going 0-0 with a 10.13 ERA in 11 games before being released May 14. He was signed to a minor league contract by the Orioles and went 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA in 17 appearances for Triple-A Norfolk. He was then signed by the Indians to a minor-league deal July 21 and pitched in eight games for Triple-A Columbus. Romero’s contract will be purchased today, and he will be added to the 25man roster, according to the Orioles. He is 34-28 with a 4.15 ERA over a 14-year career. Konerko passes post-concussion tests TORONTO — Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko has cleared a battery of post-concussion tests and will resume physical activity today. Konerko did not accompany the AL Central leaders to Toronto for a series that opened Monday night. Konerko was placed on the 7-day disabled list last Friday, three days after being accidentally elbowed in the head by Kansas City’s Jarrod Dyson during a close play. Manager Robin Ventura said Konerko checked out fine after a thorough concussion-related exam at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Ventura said Konerko will likely ride an exercise bike and play catch today. If he’s OK, he would move on to hitting, running and fielding grounders. Konerko is batting .316 with 18 homers and 54 RBIs. He can return Aug. 17 at Kansas City. The Associated Press ... . timesfreepress.com • • • Tuesday, August 14, 2012 • D5 Breaking News: [email protected] Changes in Georgia Class A By Lindsey Young Staff Writer Welcome to March Madness — Georgia high school football Class A style. While teams in Georgia’s top five classes go about the traditional way of making the playoffs, teams in Class A this season will be using calculators, slide rules, soothsayers and maybe a rabbit’s foot or two to keep up with their playoff hopes. When the GHSA agreed to split public and private Class A schools for the postseason, the major concern was determining how teams would qualify for the playoffs. The final solution is a system much like the NCAA’s RPI rating, where teams like Gordon Lee and Trio — Region 6’s only public schools among its 14 total teams — will earn points based on regular season wins and how well their opponents fare. Needless to say, very little will be decided until the final two weeks. “You can’t map it out before because you won’t really know until the final weeks where you stand,” Gordon Lee coach Charlie Wiggins said. “It’s interesting. Supposedly they are going to put out an update every week that will show you where you stand, but I want to see it first.” Region champions will automatically qualify. After that, the point system will determine the rest of the 16-team public and private fields and, just like the NCAA basketball tournament, a team’s strength of schedule and its opponent’s record is very important. Here are the basics: ■ A team receives 10 points for a win against a Class A opponent and an additional two points against a team a class up. Those bonus points go up two points per class. ■ A team receives two points for a loss against a team a class up and goes up by two points per class. ■ The final power rating number is the opponents’ strength, which is the team’s number of wins divided by 10. For example, if Trion were to defeat Class AAAA foe LaFay- PLAYOFF POTENTIAL 1. Calhoun: The Yellow Jackets have the offense, led by returning Best of Preps Offensive Player of the Year and Max Preps All-American quarterback Taylor Lamb, to put up video game numbers. They may have to, though, as only cornerback Donnell Anthony returns on defense for the defending Class AA champions. 2. Ridgeland: The Panthers will rely heavily on the power running of senior Darrell Bridges and the overall playmaking of elite prospect Vonn Bell as they move up to Class AAAA. Staying healthy up front is a key for a revamped set of lines, but the talent is there to more than hold their own against anyone on their schedule. 3. Dalton: The Catamounts also move up to 7-AAAA with high hopes after a tumultous season in which they had to forfeit four games. A strong offensive line and veteran quarterback Cole Calfee return as do top defenders Robert Hardaway, Zack Reed and Eder Mora. 4. Ringgold: The Tigers are a favorite to make the playoffs in new-look Region 5-AAA, which features only one team — Adairsville — that won a playoff game a year ago. Ringgold has elite playmakers in quarterback Slade Dale and sophomore Kile Sholl, but the defense, which has leading tackler Dakota Baer returning, has to improve for the team to make a long run.

Vonn Bell, Ridgeland: The returning Best of Preps Player of the Year is one of the top five recruits in Georgia and among the top half-dozen safety prospects in the country according to scouting services. He’s being recruited for his hard-hitting, ball-hawking defense, but he’s just as dangerous offensively and on special teams. 2. Taylor Lamb, Calhoun: The returning Class AA all-state quarterback and Best of Preps Offensive Player of the Year set area records for yards and touchdowns in leading the Yellow Jackets to the Class AA championship. Though his top three leading receivers graduated, Lamb says the offense won’t miss a beat this season. 3. Tyshaun Clemmons, Gordon Central: The 6-foot, 200-pounder is a physical, fast receiver who has a half-dozen college offers. With quarterback M.J. Reynolds and tight end Dre Prather returning, Clemmons should be a part of a strong offense as they Warriors move up to Class AAA. 4. Josh Barnes, Calhoun: The 6-foot-3 receiver will be Taylor Lamb’s top target this season in the powerful Yellow Jackets’ offense and combines his good size with 4.6 speed and great hands. 5. Jacob Mays, North Murray: The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder has gone from relative unknown to getting college looks from the likes of Tennessee, UTC and Georgia Southern after standing out at several summer camps. The new Mountaineer coaching staff will feature him prominently at running back, though his future in college likely lies in the secondary. McClain chooses Yale for baseball McClain currently carries a 3.93 gpa and scored a 32 out of a possible 36 points on the ACT. “He’s really raw but he has the frame [6-foot-4, 205], and he’s a hard worker,” Ooltewah coach Brian Hitchcox said. “He has been throwing about 87 [mph] but I see that going up. He’s one of those who could be a mid-90s guy.” McClain had a 7-1 record with a 2.80 era for Ooltewah last spring and during the summer he played for the Chattanooga Cyclones. “Jackson has made some improvements, especially since he started working with David Mead. David is the same type build and he helped Jackson with some mechanical issues,” Hitchcox said. Staff reports Though he may be preparing for his senior football season at the moment, Ooltewah’s Jackson McClain knows his future is in baseball. The senior left-handed pitcher, a 6-foot-4, 205-pounder, recently committed to Yale University to play baseball. “I had been traveling to all the Ivy league schools since the winter and the last camp I went to was in Palo Alto, Calif. at Stanford’s all-star camp,” McClain said. Yale was among those with representatives watching the games. “It was about a month-long process before they called on Aug. 1 and told me what it takes to be a pitcher at an Ivy League school and then made the offer over the phone for the first pitching slot class of Georgia softball rankings 2017,” he said. “I had been looking Northwest Georgia softball teams for a school that could challenge hold three top rankings in the first me academically as much as ath- coaches poll released this past weekletically.” end.

In Class AAA, Ringgold begins the season ranked third and LakeviewFort Oglethorpe is 10th. “It’s too early to make much of it, but it is a tribute to the players and how the coaches feel about them,” Heritage coach Steve Chattin said. “We’ll see how it plays out, but just in our region I see Northwest Whitfield as the team to beat.” Red Bank wrestling A preseason high school wrestling tournament is scheduled for Nov. 17 at Red Bank and weight management personnel will be on site. “Nobody’s kids are season-ready, and we are going to try to match less experienced kids against each other, which might be a perfect way to gauge where they are,” Red Bank coach Ben Reichel said. For information on the event, contact Reichel at ben.reichel@yahoo. com or at 423-432-2514. Matches will be 2-1-1 with TSSAA referees. “We have been done wrestling by 3 p.m. in previous years and will have the necessary mats to be done by that time this year,” Reichel said. Title games staying put By Maurice Patton The Tennessean MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After voting last month to extend the current football playoff format for four more seasons, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s Board of Control voted Monday to keep the championship games in their current site. Tennessee Tech’s Tucker Stadium will continue to host the BlueCross Bowl title games through 2016. The contract with the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce was scheduled to expire following this season’s playoffs. “It’s a good position to be in, to know you’re wanted and to feel comfortable where you’re going,” TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress said of the decision to stay in Cookeville. There was a 17-member contingent representing Cookeville and Tennessee Tech at the meeting. Cookeville has hosted the football championships since 2009. “The TSSAA told us they needed to get through clas- “ This is extremely important to Rutherford County. To know we have these for the next four years allows us to do some planning for the future, some preparation. ” — Mona Herring, president of the Rutherford County Convention and Visitors Bureau sification [for 2013-17 before discussing an extension],” said George Halford, president/CEO of the CookevillePutnam County Chamber of Commerce. “But we were nearing the end of the contract and we wanted to get this done before it ended.” The board also voted Monday to keep the Division I boys and girls basketball championships and Spring Fling in Murfreesboro through 2017. “This is extremely impor- tant to Rutherford County,” said Mona Herring, who is set to retire in April as vice president of the Rutherford County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “To know we have these for the next four years allows us to do some planning for the future, some preparation. “It’s gratifying to me to know it’s in place for another four years and that my successor doesn’t have to worry about preparing a bid.” The board also voted to look for a venue other than Chattanooga for the girls’ soccer championships which have been held here since 1997. After this season the soccer tournament will move elsewhere, ending a long relationship between the Greater Chattanooga Sports Committee and the TSSAA. The Spring Fling got its start in Chattanooga and the state wrestling tournament was held at Maclellan Gym or McKenzie Arena for years. Hillwood principal Steve Chauncy and Lewis County athletics director Bryan True voted against extending the Staff File Photo by Dan Henry Ensworth’s Justin Lloyd, left, and Rico Watson break up a pass in the end zone intended for Baylor’s Deosha McColley during the 2011 TSSAA Division II AA championship game at Tennessee Tech’s Tucker Stadium.

The girls basketball tournament has been at MTSU’s Murphy Center since 1975. The boys tournament has been there since 1989. “It’s huge for us,” Childress said. “Our goal all along was to get in a situation we felt was a ‘win/win’ for both partners. If we’re in that situation, it only makes sense to give those cities an opportunity to extend the contracts.” Dozen • Continued from Page D1 Phillips said. “When I sat down with Coach Phillips we visited for a while and then he said, ‘I really like you, and that’s why I want to offer you a scholarship.’ He said they were going to close the book on [recruiting] quarterbacks and that I was the guy they wanted. I told him this is where I want to be.” Phillips threw for 1,895 yards and 21 TDs with just four interceptions while completing 71 percent of his passes. He is the first Signal Mountain football player to commit to a Southeastern Conference school and will be the first Chattanooga area quarterback to join a SEC program since McCallie’s B.J. Coleman went to Tennessee 2007. “There are Division I schools that would still like to have him, but he made a commitment to Kentucky and he’ll s t a n d by it,” Eagles coach Bill Bill Price Price said. “I am as proud as a father of what he has accomplished to date. Kentucky is getting a young man that’s going to excel on the football field, in the classroom and also in the school.” Price believes that a combination of things would make Phillips a dream recruit. “Beyond his personal attributes — character and leadership skills — he has the size (6-foot-3, 225) and the arm strength. The kid has great leadership skills. He has confidence. He is a much better quarterback when compared to last year and he’s only been in the system a little more than a year — 10 games last season — as a quarterback.” Contact Ward Gossett at [email protected] or 423-8864765.

Breaking News: 423-757-News UNC reviews posting Fugate feeling better at LB Staff Writer E L I Z A B E T H TO N, Tenn. — Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley says the Volunteers have contingency plans in case one of their starting inside linebackers goes down. Former fullback Channing Fugate is trying to become one of those alternatives. The junior, a six-game starter at fullback the past two seasons, believes he’s settled in at linebacker after an offseason switch, and his six-tackle, one-sack performance in Saturday’s scrimmage perhaps showed some signs of progress. “I’m a lot more settled in than in the spring,” Fugate said Monday morning after Tennessee finished the first of two practices at Milligan College. “I was just getting used to it, and now I’ve been studying the playbook, been out here practicing and I’m just a lot more used to it. “It felt pretty good to go out there and make some plays. There’s a lot of things to work on.” After losing his starting position on offense to Ben Bartholomew last season, Fugate felt he could benefit from moving to defense. He’s back up to 235 pounds after dropping nearly 30 to prepare himself for his move. It’s all new for Fugate, who played safety at Breathitt County High School in Kentucky when he wasn’t rushing for more than 5,000 yards in three seasons. “In high school, I always kind of wanted to be a linebacker,” he said, “but they moved me to safety as one of the fastest guys on the team. Now that’s not the case. I’m inside, and I like it.” Fugate still has work to do to make the Vols like him more as a backup at what might be the thinnest position on the team. Redshirt freshman Christian Harris continues to rehab his torn ACL on the side during practices, but freshman Kenny Bynum is likely headed for a redshirt after having his torn meniscus repaired over the weekend. Most of the other options are too small to hold up inside. With better options at outside linebacker in Willie Bohannon and Jordan Williams, Tennessee would likely slide Curt Maggitt inside if anything happened to Herman Lathers or A.J. Johnson, but Dooley declined to say that Monday. “Channing’s doing good, but we’re really short there,” the coach said. “We need to get Christian Harris back, so it’s a concern. We’ve got a lot of contingency plans, but right now, it’s Herman and A.J. We do that at every position.” out, Maurice Couch and Darrington Sentimore were at defensive end with 6-foot6, 377-pound junior-college transfer Daniel McCullers at nose tackle for the firstteam defense. Couch has earned praise for what he’s done in training camp, so his move to end suggests McCullers is making strides in transitioning to this level. Daniel Hood went back from end to nose tackle with the second-team defense. “Again, organizational chart,” Dooley said. “This is the week where we keep moving guys around for a lot of reasons, either evaluation purposes or contingency plans. We’ll see how [Couch] does there. “I think he’s got a body type that has a lot of flexibility. He’s not a tall guy, so he doesn’t have the range, but he’s got a lot of good quick-twitch and power. It allows him to play a lot of positions.” Off-day fun Tennessee didn’t practice Sunday following Saturday’s scrimmage in which the Vols’ ground game performed “very efficiently,” Dooley said. The coach again noted the administrative mistakes and penalties as primary corrections and explained that his younger players needed to “elevate their play.” After meetings, the team walked through to correct those mistakes on Sunday. Then the Vols had some fun on their first off day of training camp. “The coaches have been doing a good job of letting us relax at night during the meetings,” right tackle Ja’Wuan James said. “We’ve been doing talent shows; last night we had karaoke, and the night before we played ‘Name That Vol,’ like some trivia and stuff.” Status updates Dooley said the Vols gave star receiver Justin Hunter a ‘maintenance day’ as sort of a precaution. After working mostly on the side in the morning, the junior practiced fully during the evening. Like linebacker Herman Lathers, Tennessee is managing one of its offensive stars carefully. … Tight end Mychal Rivera (knee sprain) and receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (shoulder sprain) wore red noncontact jerseys during both practices, and linebacker Curt Maggitt and safety LaDarrell McNeil wore red Monday night. … Cornerback Prentiss Waggner, who was not on the stat sheet in Saturday’s scrimmage, hobbled around both practices D-line development with a sleeve on his left leg, During the open period and Dooley said he’s batof Monday’s morning work- tling a staph infection.

Malcome matures By David Paschall Staff Writer Although Georgia football fans are eager to watch freshman tailbacks Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley in the Sept. 1 opener against Buffalo, they may like what they see in Ken Malcome. The redshirt sophomore started two of the final three games last season and beat out Isaiah Crowell in getting the first carries during April’s G-Day game, but he has not received much attention in preseason camp. Malcome had an impressive 32 yards on five carries during last Wednesday’s scrimmage, but it was overshadowed by Gurley’s 58 yards on six rushes. “Ken is doing very well,” Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said after Monday’s two-hour practice in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts. “He’s being diligent in making sure he understands every little thing about his job.” Malcome had a very interesting 2011 season, quitting the team in September before being allowed to return the next day. The 6-foot, 226pounder from Decatur, Ga., played in just one of the first nine games, but he improved enough to get in the last five games and earned starts at Georgia Tech and at the Outback Bowl against Michigan State. Richt said he groups players into those who are figuring things out, those who are functional and those who are experts at their positions. He added that Malcome is in transition. “We see him wanting to get in that third phase, which is good,” Richt said. When pressed if Malcome, Marshall, Gurley or redshirt senior Richard Samuel had made any move on the depth chart, Richt said there is not much separation between the four and that “they are all pretty good backs.” Bostick makes 25 Georgia received its 25th commitment for its 2013 signing class on Monday, receiving a nonbinding pledge from safety Paris Bostick. The 6-1, 208-pounder from Plant High in Tampa, which is the same school Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray attended, is rated by Rivals. com as the nation’s No. 39 safety prospect. Bostick had more than two dozen early scholarship offers, including ones from Arkansas, Georgia Tech and South Carolina. The Bulldogs only had 19 signees in their 2012 class, including 17 who enrolled. Odds and ends Richt said he’s not comfortable enough yet with backup left tackle Austin Long and that if something happened to starter Kenarious Gates, either Watts Dantzler or John Theus would move from the right side. ... Defensive end Ray Drew (concussion), reserve tailback Brandon Harton (hip contusion) and cornerbacks Malcolm Mitchell (shoulder contusion), Branden Smith (shoulder contusion) Damian Swann (cervical sprain) were held out of Monday’s contact drills. ... Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo will call plays for a second straight year from the booth. ... The Bulldogs are not practicing today and will scrimmage for the second time Wednesday afternoon.

Mocs seek stable secondary By John Frierson Staff Writer For more than a week University of Tennessee at Chattanooga cornerback Chaz Moore was limited only to running his mouth because of a bad hamstring. He’s a talker, one with an unusual Memphis twang, and that was about all he could do in practice. The speedy and fearless junior, who plays bigger than his 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame, started four games in 2011 and played plenty in the Mocs’ nickel and dime packages. During the Mocs’ Monday morning practice at Scrappy Moore Field, Moore was finally on the field in full pads and made his share of plays. “The hamstring’s getting looser day by day, and today was the first day of me being live,” Moore said. “It felt good out there today.” Redshirt freshman Sema’je Kendall had been working in Moore’s place on the first-team defense. Kendall practiced at safety last season before being moved to cornerback during spring practice. The 6-foot, 175-pound Kendall played well enough at corner during the first 10 days of practice that he earned the chance to keep playing with the starters following Moore’s return. That meant returning him to free safety, ahead of Zach McCarter on the depth chart. “Sema’je has been playing so well — he’s a ballplayer and he’s been playing so well — and we’re trying to find ways to get the best 11 on the field, however it occurs,” Mocs coach Russ Huesman said. “Right now I think Sema’je’s among the best 11. For him to play behind Chaz doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.” Kendall said moving back to safety didn’t require much of an adjustment, and like former Moc defensive back Chris Lewis-Harris last season, Kendall could see action at both positions during the season. Going through his second preseason hasn’t been quite as physically demanding as last August, Kendall said, but mentally the challenges are still there. “Physically last year I was sore, and it was hard to just walk down to the practice field,” he said. “Now I can run around, but I’m learning so much that it’s almost like I’m catching brain cramps.” Safety Dean Haynes, the North Carolina State transfer who has been out with a foot injury since the third practice, is still in a cast. Haynes is expected to challenge for the starting job when he returns, but that may not be until September. tackled whenever I cross the 50,” he said. Wideout Tommy Hudson will replace Joel Bradford as the Mocs’ punt returner, Huesman said, with Moore possibly serving as the backup. UTC ranked No. 116, out of 120, in punt returns last season with an average of 3.08 yards a return. Huesman said the Mocs need to do better, but not at the expense of making a mistake and giving the ball away. Extra points Defensive tackle Derrick Lott (shoulder) left the field near the end of practice and did not return. ... Cornerback Will Johnson (head) returned after missing a few days with concussion-like symptoms, while fullback Taharin Tyson and safety Keith Mayes are still sidelined. ... The Mocs will conduct their last twoa-day today. Contact John Frierson at jfrierson@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6268.

In a statement Monday, the school said it has removed the link and that it couldn’t discuss confidential student information covered by federal privacy laws. The school didn’t confirm the authenticity of the partial grade summary, which lists Peppers’ name at the top. “Student academic records should never be accessible to the public, and the university is investigating reports of what appears to be a former student transcript on the university’s website,” the school said. The link, which surfaced late Sunday, showed Peppers received some of his highest grades in classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM). A school investigation has since found fraud and poor oversight in 54 AFAM classes between summer 2007 and summer 2011, with football players making up more than a third of the enrollments and student-athletes making up 58 percent of the overall enrollments in those suspect classes. Nine of the 10 classes in which Peppers earned a B-plus, B or B-minus that could’ve helped ensure his eligibility came in the AFAM department, according to the possible transcript. Three were listed as independent study classes, another problem area cited in the school’s probe for a lack of supervision of work performed by students. The possible transcript lists a 1.824 GPA, beginning with classes during the summer of 1998 and finishing in the fall of 2001 during Peppers’ last year on the football field for the Tar Heels under first-year coach John Bunting. The link lacked grades for five classes in summer and fall 2001 terms. If authentic, the transcript would raise the possibility that the AFAM troubles go back much further than the four-year focus of the investigation. Carl Carey, Peppers’ agent, didn’t immediately return a call for comment Monday afternoon. The link surfaced a day after The News & Observer of Raleigh published a story citing what the university called a “test transcript” used to help students and advisers with a computer program for determining courses needed for graduation. School officials told the newspaper it wasn’t a real transcript for an actual student. But the “test transcript” — which also dates to 2001 — mirrors the possible Peppers transcript and matches 34 of 36 classes, the newspaper reported Monday. Peppers also played two seasons for the men’s basketball team under Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty, serving as a reserve on the team that reached the Final Four in 2000. Peppers was the No. 2 pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 2002 NFL Draft and spent eight seasons there. He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2010 and is a six-time Pro Bowl defensive end. The school’s investigation of the AFAM department began as an offshoot of the NCAA investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct in the football program. 2120 Stein Drive Chattanooga TN 37421 423-499-0015 • www.chattaa.com Auctioneer: Kyle Shaver, TN License 000022410.

Even in a new defense, Gordon’s position and challenge remain the same. “Eric’s doing good,” coach Derek Dooley said. “He’s playing that “Star,” the nick spot. He’s on all of our special teams. “He’s the same guy: he’s active, he’s disruptive, he makes plays and of course his challenge is consistency.” Tennessee’s secondary is looking for reliable playmakers. Corner Prentiss Waggner and safety Brian Randolph have shown that ability in the past, and corner Marsalis Teague showed it in Saturday’s scrimmage. The senior was burned on deep passes on more than one or two occasions last season, but he broke up four passes in the Vols’ scrimmage. “Marsalis had a really good scrimmage,” Dooley said “It was probably his best scrimmage since he’s been here, and I’m proud of him for that. He started making some plays in the deep part of the field that historically he hadn’t made. “He’s doing it because he’s playing with a little more confidence and he’s trusting his technique. It showed on the field, and I hope it continues. We need him to.” The Vols also need Gordon, but they need the consistent one who uses his aggressive tendencies in the right spots. Sunseri’s defense is built to stop the run and play aggressively in the secondary. Gordon believes his skills match those aspects, and Dooley said the defense should help him “create disruptiveness” against offenses. “I love that physical style of play,” Gordon said. “The “Star” position is a very versatile position. You’re filling in [against] the run, covering a few guys — I think it fits me perfectly. “They pretty much want me to know when to take the risks. That’s the biggest thing, knowing when I can do stuff, when I can jump routes. Other than that, they want me aligned right and following the scheme.” Contact Patrick Brown at [email protected] or 901-581-7288. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/ patrickbrowntfp.

FACT FILE Reasons to avoid tick bites multiply What is the difference between a modern and traditional brushwork style? The modern style is a spontaneous brushstroke style. That started in the early Ming dynasty by scholars. (This older) style primarily was done for emperors. It traces way back in the Tang dynasty. That’s where all the rich color comes from. They discovered the most beautiful, rich colors. At the same time, they came up with the most detailed, lavish paintings. It’s almost like European, like the Rococo era. There’s not much spontaneous brushstroke. Everything is done to extreme detail. Q A Q What is the first step to brushwork? See ARTIST, Page E6 Staff Photo by Dan Henry An Ho, a Chinese brushwork artist who now lives in Chattanooga, is believed to be the only living painter who works in the styles of both the Tang and Sung dynasties.

By Casey Phillips Staff Writer Tabitha Fowler’s first stage was the sanctuary of a small church in Rossville, Ga., but with the energy she brought to the performance, it might as well have been the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway. Decked out in a red hat, red boa and glitzy costume jewelry, then-3-year-old Tabitha squeezed every ounce of celebrity out of her performance of the song “Santa Baby.” “She took off with it and walked through the crowd and walked across the stage,” said her mother, Becky Fowler. “Everyone said she was a ham, and she’s been a ham ever since.” After five years appearing in other church productions, including a turn as the baby Jesus in a Nativity play, Tabitha caught the eye of Ridgeland High School choral and drama director Dr. Anthony Goss. As part of a countywide casting call for participants in a production of the musical “Willy Wonka,” Goss called Tabitha back for the role of Matilda, a schoolmate of lead character Charlie. Having just seen the film, however, she opted instead to wear the yellow overalls and crazy up do of an oompa loompa. A self-described drama queen with eyes on eventually becoming a Broadway star, Tabitha said she wanted to be one of Wonka’s diminutive assistants because of the requirement to sing, dance and wear garish costumes. By the time she had finished seven sold-out performances in the high school’s 300-seat theater, she said, she was hooked. “I don’t belong many places, and people tell me that all the time, but being onstage is the one place I belong,” she said. “I just love the thrill of being onstage and getting to perform in front of an audience. “It makes me feel happy. You’re putting a smile on someone’s face, and that can be the hardest thing to do.” Now 12, Tabitha has been in about a dozen shows with numerous local production See TEEN, Page E6 Staff Photo by Tim Barber Tabitha Fowler, 12, performs skits with a group called the Ragamuffins during a performance at Barking Legs Theater. ■ To contact Life phone: 423-757-6645 • Fax: 423-668-5051 • Email: [email protected] One thing wrong with writing on medical topics is that you can never cover a subject in one column, and you always get a lot of feedback from readers you feel you should share. When I wrote last week on tick bites, I knew this would happen, but there has been such an increase in bites with serious consequences, well, I just felt I should warn peoDalton ple. Roberts I got a Commentary half-dozen scary notes from people who had suffered severe consequences from bites. One was a horror story where a parent waded around in medical purgatory for six years before even getting a diagnosis. In particular, I think I should share a letter from Mack McCord, who got so sick after a bite that he says, “I texted friends and relatives and told them I was going to die. I don’t even remember sending the text messages. I couldn’t even get out of bed.” Strangely, these severe symptoms don’t always appear for two to three years when Lyme disease is in full bloom. It seems to depend on how well the early antibiotics work at the beginning of the disease cycle. But even if they work well, you may not have some of these symptoms for a couple of years. Mack is adamant that “after any tick bite you should see your doctor immediately to be started on a 30-day treatment of doxycycline.” He says, “This is the only antibiotic that can counter the effects of a tick-borne virus.” Since it often takes a while for Lyme disease to manifest, it is important to know what the symptoms are.

When you know partner has a long minor and some points, you should always wonder about three notrump. But it is nice to have some fit for partner’s suit. This hand has the high-card power for game. The only minus is the singleton diamond. South should jump to three no-trump. Here, that game makes easily. West would lead the spade six, fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. South will win with his jack, play off dummy’s heart winners, cash his four club tricks, and take the heart ace, bringing everyone down to five cards. Then a diamond toward dummy’s king produces an overtrick. If West wins and leads the spade king, declarer just ducks the trick. At the table, South advanced with two hearts. If this were forcing by partnership agreement, it would have been acceptable. But North believed it was nonforcing and passed.

FAITH Don’t hide commitment to Christ Q: My family doesn’t believe in God and is very opposed to religion. Well, last month I met some Christians at my school and I ended up giving my life to Jesus. I’m afraid to tell my parents because I know they’ll be upset. What should I do? — S.S. A: I’m grateful you have given your life to Jesus Christ, in spite of your background. I’m thankful, too, for your friends, who cared Billy Graham e n o u g h about you to share Christ with you. God can break through every barrier people raise against him because he is stronger than all who oppose him. The most important thing I can tell you is that God knows all about the pressures you’ll be facing, and he loves you and has promised to be with you every moment of the day. Even if your family forbids you to associate with other believers, never forget that Jesus will be with you. The Bible’s promise is true (and I urge you to memorize it): “If God is for us, who can be against us?... (nothing) will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:31,39). Don’t conceal your commitment from your parents; in time they’ll find out anyway. But pray that they won’t think you are rejecting them. Pray instead that God will make them open to what’s happening in your life. Ask your friends to pray for them also. Pray, too, for yourself, that even if they resist your commitment, they’ll see that Christ has made a difference in your life. Often our strongest witness is the evidence of a changed life. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. ... Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14,16). Staff Writer Picks for the top Emmy races Family” ■ Kathryn Joosten, “Desperate Housewives” ■ Sofia Vergara, “Modern Family” ■ Merritt Wever, “Nurse Jackie” ■ Kristen Wiig, “Saturday Night Live” Should win: Wiig Will win: Joosten Analysis: Sentiment figures here. Lung cancer claimed Joosten in June. The “Modern Family” women rank as strong contenders, and four-time nominee Wiig just wrapped her tenure on “SNL,” but we see voters memorializing Joosten to honor both her and the end of “Housewives.” By Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — The Emmys are so predictable ... so boring ... so uninspired... unless, of course, voters are rewarding your favorite show yet again, and then it’s wildly on-target, a well-deserved honor bestowed by perceptive and discriminating industry authorities. Expect a great many predictable (and well-deserved) honors come September. Here’s an early set of predictions to start the conversation: DRAMA SERIES ■ “Boardwalk Empire” (HBO) ■ “Breaking Bad” (AMC) ■ “Downton Abbey” (PBS) ■ “Game of Thrones” (HBO) ■ “Homeland” (Showtime) ■ “Mad Men” (AMC) Should win: “Mad Men” Will win: “Mad Men” Analysis: “Mad Men” won the series Emmy for its first four seasons and, arguably, just completed its finest year. A fifth Emmy here would be unprecedented — and a proper reward. But AMC stable mate “Breaking Bad” poses a serious threat to its chances, particularly since it’s currently airing an ambitious string of new episodes, just as votes are being cast. LEAD ACTOR, DRAMA ■ Hugh Bonneville, “Downton Abbey” ■ Steve Buscemi, “Boardwalk Empire” ■ Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad” ■ Michael C. Hall, “Dexter” ■ Jon Hamm, “Mad Men” ■ Damian Lewis, “Homeland” Should win: Cranston Will win: Cranston Analysis: After sitting out last year’s race, Cranston faces little competition for a fourth Emmy, which would tie him with Dennis Franz for most wins in the category. If someone would only give the man a role in a decent movie ... LEAD ACTRESS, DRAMA ■ Kathy Bates, “Harry’s Law” ■ Glenn Close, “Damages” ■ Claire Danes, “Homeland” ■ Michelle Dockery, “Downton Abbey” ■ Julianna Margulies, “The ■ Good Wife” ■ Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men” Should win: Danes Will win: Danes Analysis: Close’s camp can’t run on the “this-is-heryear” platform that “Albert Nobbs” campaigners used in the last Oscar race since Close has already won here twice. Margulies won last year, but her show’s exclusion for series doesn’t bode well. Danes wins, and it’s a slam-dunk. COMEDY SERIES ■ “30 Rock” (NBC) ■ “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS) ■ “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (HBO) “Girls” (HBO) ■ “Modern Family” (ABC) ■ “Veep” (HBO) McClatchy Newspapers Kevin Costner is nominated for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his role in “Hatfields & McCoys,’’ which is a nominee for Best Miniseries or Movie. Should win: “Girls” Will win: “Modern Family” Analysis: “Modern Family” has been an Emmy juggernaut in its two eligible seasons. The legal battle between the cast and 20th Century Fox would have needed to venture into “Hatfields & McCoys” territory for the show to lose here. LEAD ACTOR, COMEDY ■ Louis C.K., “Louie” ■ Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock” ■ Don Cheadle, “House of Lies” ■ Jon Cryer, “Two and a Half Men” ■ Larry David, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” ■ Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory” Should win: Louis C.K. Will win: Louis C.K. Analysis: C.K. received seven Emmy nominations — three (writing, directing, acting) for his FX series and four for his Beacon Theatre stand-up special. So, yes, this is his moment. Plus, even with all the love, “Louie” somehow failed to earn a series nod, an oversight that brought even more attention to C.K. via assorted cries of outrage and puzzlement. Admittedly, C.K.’s skewed humor isn’t going to play to everyone in the room, but a Parsons three-peat seems both unlikely and kind of wrong. Unless, of course, that’s your favorite show and then it’s perfectly acceptable. LEAD ACTRESS, COMEDY ■ Zooey Deschanel, “New Girl” ■ Lena Dunham, “Girls” ■ Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie” ■ Tina Fey, “30 Rock” ■ Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep” ■ Melissa McCarthy, “Mike & Molly” ■ Amy Poehler, “Parks and Recreation” Should win: Poehler Will win: Louis-Dreyfus EMMYS ON TV The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held Sept. 23 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles and telecast live at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC. The show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Analysis: A tie takes the recent expansion of nominees a step further, making for a jampacked group of seven. With this many options, we’ll steer toward the safety of LouisDreyfus, a 12-time nominee and two-time winner. If she owns an Emmy for “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” she could certainly take one for the sharply observed satire of “Veep.” SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY ■ Ty Burrell, “Modern Family” ■ Jesse Tyler Ferguson, “Modern Family” ■ Max Greenfield, “New Girl” ■ Bill Hader, “Saturday Night Live” ■ Ed O’Neill, “Modern Family” ■ Eric Stonestreet, “Modern Family” Should win: Burrell Will win: Ferguson Analysis: We like both Hader and Greenfield, but we’re guessing this category will again go to one of the “Modern Family” quartet. Stonestreet won for the first season; Burrell took it last year, and we’d give it to him again for the way he has refined and enlivened the Clueless Dad TV archetype. But the game of musical chairs will probably mean an Emmy for O’Neill or Ferguson. Flip a coin. SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY ■ Mayim Bialik, “The Big Bang Theory” ■ Julie Bowen, “Modern MINISERIES OR MOVIE ■ “American Horror Story” (FX) ■ “Game Change” (HBO) ■ “Hatfields & McCoys” (History) ■ “Hemingway & Gellhorn” (HBO) ■ “Luther” (BBC America) ■ “Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia” (PBS) Should win: “Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia” Will win: “Game Change” Analysis: “Horror Story” made headlines with its 17 nominations, but its freaky latex ghost sex might not be the universal turn-on that such numbers imply. “Game Change” fits the profile of past winners, and its election-year setting might boost its relevancy in voters’ minds. “Sherlock” stands as the category’s sleeper. As the good detective would remind you, “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, becomes the truth.” Or, the Emmy winner. LEAD ACTRESS, MINISERIES OR MOVIE ■ Connie Britton, “American Horror Story” ■ Ashley Judd, “Missing” ■ Nicole Kidman, “Hemingway & Gellhorn” ■ Julianne Moore, “Game Change” ■ Emma Thompson, “The Song of Lunch” Should win: Moore Will win: Moore Analysis: Moore made even die-hard liberals feel a measure of empathy for Sarah Palin. Forget an Emmy. The woman deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. LEAD ACTOR, MINISERIES OR MOVIE ■ Kevin Costner, “Hatfields & McCoys” ■ Benedict Cumberbatch, ■ “Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia“ ■ Idris Elba, “Luther” ■ Woody Harrelson, “Game Change” ■ Clive Owen, “Hemingway & Gellhorn” ■ Bill Paxton, “Hatfields & McCoys” Should win: Harrelson Will win: Owen Analysis: If voters decide a “Game Change” sweep might be a bit much, look for them to still hew to the party line (HBO! HBO!) and recognize Owen’s proud Papa. ... timesfreepress.com . ‘The Week the Women Went’ disappoints Lifetime is calling “The Week the Women Went” (10 p.m.) a “social experiment.” “Big Brother” used to be called that, too.

Aristophanes portrayed a world where war-weary women conspired to withhold sexual favors to force their men into peace. The 2004 film satire “A Day Without a Mexican” envisioned California collapsing without its undocumented workforce. Both of those works had a strong point of view. But “Week” is like an installment of “Wife Swap” on steroids. Lifetime should have called it “Wife Rapture,” a fantasy where the guys get left behind.

Breaking News: 423-757-News Exemptions, rules for Do Not Call registry Akron Beacon Journal A reader’s inquiry prompted a new look at a familiar subject: unsolicited telephone calls from marketers, researchers and politicians. The caller believed she had received annoying calls too late in the evening. There are Do Not Call rules but there is also confusion because of many exemptions. ■ A phone put on the fed- stop most telemarketing that tries to sell a product. If you have a business relationship with them, they are allowed to call you. You can ask to be put on their own Do Not Call list, and they must comply. ■ Calls made from political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors, or on behalf of them, are permitted. Finding the right time to make phone calls, specifically calls surveying people’s opinions for research and polls, is difficult, said Michelle Henry, president of the Center for Marketing Opinion and Research in Akron, Ohio. “Some people Weighing options Jason Sudeikis might bolt ‘Saturday Night Live’ “ By Rebecca Keegan Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Just weeks before the national political conventions get underway, a crucial figure has yet to commit to the presidential race. Jason Sudeikis, who plays “Saturday Night Live’s” Mitt Romney as a cheerfully button-down, out-of-touch, Ward Cleaver-like figure, said he has not yet decided whether to return to the sketch show when it resumes this fall. After nine years at “SNL” — the last few as the show’s most valuable straight man — Sudeikis has been s p e n d i n g re ce n t months focusing on his movie career. He plays the long-suffering aide to Will Ferrell’s blundering congressman in the political spoof “The Campaign,” which opened Friday, and is currently filming the road comedy “We’re the Millers” opposite Jennifer Aniston. Stepping away from “SNL” entirely would be a risky decision for Sudeikis — for every alumnus of the show who successfully transitions to film or other TV work, there’s a cautionary tale who flames out. And playing an election year contender on “SNL” is a high-profile, potentially career-boosting gig — Tina Fey won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Sarah Palin during the 2008 race. A chance to ride the zeitgeist, however, doesn’t seem to be enough of an enticement for the 36-year-old actor to stick around. Sudeikis said he wants to take on more responsibility at “SNL” but maintain the flexibility to pursue other projects, a tricky balance to strike on a I’d like the opportunity to use creative muscles that ... haven’t been asked of me for the first nine years that I’ve worked there. ... To stay just for the juice of being in the public eye — of being Mitt Romney — is not enough. ” — Jason Sudeikis Photo by The Associated Press notoriously demanding live weekly show. “I’d like the opportunity to use creative muscles that ... haven’t been asked of me for the first nine years that I’ve worked there,” Sudeikis said in a recent reflective interview at a Sunset Strip hotel. “It could be some sort of title change. The least of the concerns is anything financial. I’m not buying a boat because of writing skits. It’s more having a desire to give more to a place I really believe in. To stay just for the juice of being in the pub- Artist Assess and lessen • your risk A for disease Continued from Page E1 The Dallas Morning News Want to know your likelihood of getting major diseases that strike millions in the United States? The Siteman Cancer Center’s website, Your Disease Risk (www.yourdiseaserisk. wustl.edu), has quizzes you can take on stroke, heart disease, 12 types of cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis. The center is at BarnesJewish Hospital and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The site, developed by the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, expanded to include other diseases, and then moved to the Siteman Cancer Center. After you answer personal health history and lifestyle questions at the secure site, your general risk factor is calculated. While the assessments don’t substitute for seeing a physician, they do identify factors within your control and areas for improvement. You start with calligraphy. To be able to execute a beautiful line, you need to know how to use a brush, how to freely maneuver the brush. In China, the painting and the calligraphy are hand in hand. The calligraphy is the bone of a good painting. How does learning Chinese brushwork help artists working in Western styles? Basically ... it helps them be more controlled of their line work. Going through the process will help them mentally be more focused. What fulfillment does painting give you? I’m happy that myself, my daughter and my son-in-law are all artists. We’re having our own critique all the time. This is my ideal kind of life. What are your feelings on how art has changed over the years? I have no prejudice toward modern art. As long as it’s from the bottom of (the artist’s) heart and it’s truthful to what they really want to express, that’s the Q A Q A Q A lic eye — of being Mitt Romney — is not enough.” In town from New York for a “We’re the Millers” table read, Sudeikis is mellow but politic about his future, wearing workout clothes and a pair of gleaming white Nikes, a gift from his girlfriend, actress Olivia Wilde. His face has a splash of freckles, normally hidden by makeup when he’s on screen. Sudeikis’ Romney drops phrases like “jiminy cricket” and “whoopsie daisies,” and shamelessly panders to groups as diverse as pet own- only thing that’s important. For me, the art has no nationality. As long as it’s good and truthful. What is the most important thing you learned from Pu Ru about teaching? Pu Ru never taught how to paint a painting. He taught that the No. 1 discipline is to be honest. Start with the classical books. Practice calligraphy. Those are the three major points I always carry with me. Two important things about making a good piece of art, according to Pu Ru: First, it has to come from the inside. The inside cannot be empty. You have to be absorbing all kinds of philosophy, classical books, literature, music, so you can have a full bucket to pull out. What is in your bucket? I started as a figure painter. Then I started to see enough people and started getting into flowers. Now my vision is much wider. I am inspired by the landscapes, especially in the morning with the fog. In a city like this, I can expand my vision. I’d like to express the mystery of the landscapes. What are your favorite parts of the Chattanooga landscape? Q A Q A Q ers, Dungeons & Dragons fans and piercing enthusiasts. Nailing down the character has been challenging, he said, because Romney has revealed so little of himself on the campaign trail. Unlike “SNL’s” gifted President Clinton impressionist, Darrell Hammond, Sudeikis doesn’t devote hours of study to create an uncanny resemblance but relies more on an instinctual sense to create a character. “I usually just watch something for a couple minutes,” he said. “I’ll be more inclined to read something about someone and figure out what external influences make him who he is or what he is than poring over tapes. “It’s a weird time in the world. You say one wrong thing and lose points. We’re probably just watching a guy who’s scared to screw up. So my Mitt is a little square, a little boring, a little disconnected from the human experience.” A bipartisan skewering of the modern electoral process, “The Campaign” sees Sudeikis as Mitch, the most high-functioning clown in a political circus. It also stars Ferrell as Cam Brady, an airhead Democratic congressman from North Carolina who is running for reelection against bumpkinlike Republican big-money pawn Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis). “I think ‘The Campaign’ is right on time,” Sudeikis said. “People are getting cynical about the news. It doesn’t seem like there’s one place to watch where you get the straight dope. You watch the channel that proves your point. I would argue that comedy has taken on the role that folk singers had in the ’60s and ’70s in the sense that people come to us for the truth.” I can see the mountains in the distance. So many times, I can see the fog start to break and the water behind it. It’s very classical. Af ter 38 years of living here, what is your favorite and least favo r i te t h i n g a b o ut America? My least favorite thing is that it is too mechanical. My favorite thing is I like seeing Americans walking their dogs. I hear Americans are protecting the animals. That means there is kindness. Do you have any philosophies by which you live? Go with God — it doesn’t matter what God. For me, it’s just a force. Go with God means doing things with good intention. Do your best, work something as truthfully as you can, as hard as you can. The rest, let it fall. Don’t force anything to happen. Trust. Be natural. Things will open up. Follow your own routine, and you do the best you can, and see what happens. You feel more fulfilled that way. A Q A Q A Contact Holly Leber at [email protected] or 423-757-6391.

Henry said for survey and polling calls in particular, it’s an important part of the democratic process. “This isn’t all bad. Being asked to give your opinion without debate, judgment or disapproval is uncommon and gives us a chance to share what we think about important topics and allows us to take part in public dis- Teen cussions about those issues that shape the future of our communities and the country,” she said. With that said, Henry has some tips for consumers. If you don’t want to participate in the survey, don’t just hang up or tell them you are not interested. Since it’s important for the quality of the data for different perspectives to be collected, if you don’t specifically tell the person not to call you again, you should expect to get called again, Henry said. If you want to participate, but it’s a bad time, give the caller a better time to call back. TALENT SHOW • Continued from Page E1 companies, including Back Alley Productions’ “Three Musketeers,” Closed Door Entertainment’s “Treasure Island” and Kim Parrish Productions’ “Aesop’s Fables.” On Sunday, she ended her most recent role in Back Alley Productions’ four-show run of “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure” at Barking Legs Theater. Tabitha portrayed one of a troupe of ragamuffins charged with interacting with and engaging the audience before the production as well as aiding the notorious detective during the show. With just hours to go until the curtain rose on opening night, Tabitha said she wasn’t nervous, having served a similar function last year during a six-month stint as one of the youngest cast members in the Vaudeville Cafe murder mystery dinner theater. “Normally, I feel nervous, but when the curtain opens, you know you’ve got it down,” she said. “There are still a few nerves in opening night, but it’s still a lot of fun.” After her debut in “Willy Wonka,” Tabitha continued to work with Dr. Goss on other musicals, including “Annie,” “Aladdin” and Roberts • Continued from Page E1 Do you know a child age 17 or younger with a precocious talent in academics, athletics or the arts?

Over time, however, he also has come to appreciate the exuberance with which she approached her roles. “She has that confidence level that many little kids don’t who are intimidated by performing,” Goss said. “She just goes for it and just enjoys it. “Her preparation impresses me.

As one reader pointed out, “There are some things one can do to prevent tick bites, like showering when you have been outside — using a handheld or full-length mirror to view all parts of the body. Treat boots, clothing and camping gear with permethrin.” If you have pets, be sure to regularly consult your veterinarian about preventing your pets from bringing ticks into the home. This has scared me well enough that I have placed “tick management” near the top of my health goals. The next symptom is an illness similar to the flu. The next stage is Bell’s palsy episodes with a drooping of face muscles. Full seizures can follow, but remember that all the symptoms may not occur. In writing the original column on tick bites, my primary concern was the lackadaisical attitude of so many people about getting the ticks to turn loose and back out of the body. “Just put a glob of petroleum jelly on it, and it will turn loose” or one of the other simplistic solutions. I did not know how dangerous most of them are due to the tick’s tendency to regurgitate its poisons while turning loose. I think I listed the safest ways to get the tick out (Tic-off and Email Dalton Roberts at tick tweezers). We have talked a lot [email protected]. BESTBETS Looking for something to do today?
