BBB launches online war against scammers
Local law enforcement agencies, CU urge the use of new tool
By RICK NORTON
Associate Editor
Responding to an increased number
of sophisticated scams, as well as hightech hackers who are infiltrating the
Southeast Tennessee region, the Better
Business Bureau has launched an
online tool to help consumers protect
themselves from electronic hooligans.
It’s called BBB Scam Tracker
(bbb.org/scamtracker) and its nationally
expanded outreach includes Cleveland
and Bradley County, a community
whose people have been targeted heavily
over the past couple of years by cyber
and fiber-optic pirates.
“We believe BBB Scam Tracker will be
quite popular and prove to be extremely
helpful to both consumers and business
owners,” said Jim Winsett, president
and CEO of the Better Business Bureau
affiliate serving Southeast Tennessee
and Northwest Georgia. “In addition,
this greatly expands our window to the
world as far as schemes targeting other
regions and things we need to be monitoring closely.”
The new online tool, whose experimental launch has received rave
reviews, is no longer regional. It has
been expanded to a continental audience, one that includes not only the
United States but also Canada.
In making the announcement,
Winsett said the online tool allows con-
sumers and businesses to report scam
attempts made against them, as well as
to serve as a resource for keeping up
with the latest scams and schemes —
some of which are innovatively new and
others that have been around for years
but are resurfacing with added layers of
sophistication.
BBB Scam Tracker also gives people
the ability to see where scams are
occurring nationally and allows them to
search for fraudulent activity by key-
word or within a certain time frame,
Winsett explained.
The resource’s nationwide launch is
timely, especially in regions where
phones are ringing frequently to tones of
potential crime and identities are being
stolen through methods like credit card
skimming and computer hacking.

4 Ivy League finalists at WVHS
Group has made it through first round
of QuestBridge National College Match
By CHRISTY ARMSTRONG
Banner Staff Writer
Four students from the same school
have all become finalists for what could be
full-ride scholarships to Ivy League colleges.
Walker Valley High School seniors
Amber Bell, Raven McKnight, Kameron
Mehling and Kendall Mehling have made it
through the first round of the QuestBridge
National College Match program.
“We’re very proud of their accomplishments, and we look forward to great
things from our students,” Principal Nat
Akiona said.
The National College Match program
helps students from low-income families
get “matched” with select colleges which
will grant them scholarships.
Students are asked to “rank” their colleges of choice when they apply, choosing
from 36 different options. Among the
institutions on the list are Nashville’s
Vanderbilt University and Ivy League colleges Brown University, Columbia
University, Dartmouth College, Princeton
University and Yale University.
If a finalist is “matched” with one of the
colleges he or she ranked based on his or
her academic achievements and other factors, the student is eligible to receive a
“The four of us ... we’re
academically gifted, but I
wouldn’t say we’re more gifted
than anyone else. We were just
willing to go above and beyond
what was necessary to get good
scholarships.”
— Kameron Mehling
scholarship. The scholarship, valued at
some $200,000, would cover all tuition,
room and board for four years.
McKnight pointed out she and her fellow finalists all come from families which
cannot afford to send them to their colleges of choice, so the thought of getting a
scholarship is “very exciting.”
“You don’t always have that safety net
of knowing you can get into a good college
and pay for it,” McKnight said.
The four from Walker Valley were among
4,895 finalists chosen from the 13,264
students who applied this year. While it is
up to the colleges to determine how many
students they will accept, only 501 of the
4,180 finalists from last year received the
full-ride scholarships.
Though all four of the local finalists said
they were feeling uncertain about their
chances of getting the prestigious scholarships, they said they were grateful for the
opportunity to try.
Even if they are not chosen, the students still get to call themselves
QuestBridge finalists, placing them in the
company of many high-achieving students. The average grade point average for
finalists this year is 3.87, and most finalists had earned composite scores between
28 and 32 on the ACT college entrance
exam.
Bell, McKnight and the Mehlings are all
well-known at Walker Valley for their
achievements. All of them are taking
Advanced Placement classes and have
earned memberships in national honor
societies for high school students.
Still, Kameron stressed they each know
of classmates who may be equally deserving of the opportunity.
“The four of us ... we’re academically
gifted, but I wouldn’t say we’re more gifted
than anyone else,” Kameron said. “We
were just willing to go above and beyond
what was necessary to get good scholarships.”
Whether or not they become
QuestBridge scholarship recipients, all
four finalists said they are making plans

Cleveland State Community
College has signed an articulation
agreement
with
Tennessee
Wesleyan College for its early
childhood education program.
While the two colleges had previously signed a dual admission
agreement which had to do with
how students transferred from
one to the other, this is the first
time they have signed an agreement related to a specific major.
The idea behind it is to make
sure students will have taken all
the classes they need to take to be
on track with other early childhood education students at
Tennessee Wesleyan when they
leave Cleveland State.
“It meets all their requirements,” said Dr. Denise King, vice
president of academic affairs for
Cleveland State. “Without an
effort like this, the students may
or may not have the appropriate
prerequisites.”
Cleveland State President Dr.
Bill Seymour said when the two
colleges signed the initial dual
admission agreement in January
it represented “a win-win” for
both colleges, especially in light of
Tennessee Promise.
Tennessee Promise is a staterun, last-dollar scholarship which
helps cover all of a student’s
tuition at one of the state’s community colleges. As community
colleges prepared for the possibility of increased enrollment when
the first Tennessee Promise class
was preparing to start in August,
four-year institutions also found
themselves looking at their transfer requirements in anticipation
of getting more transfer students.
This new articulation agreement was designed to allow for a
“seamless” transfer for students
wishing to earn a bachelor’s
degree in early childhood education, which prepares students to
teach kindergarten through the
third grade.
“It creates a good incentive for

profits, landowners and governments to plant more flowers and
other plants bees need to feed.
Their representatives are speaking at beekeepers’ conferences
and visiting agricultural research
universities.
Besides inviting visitors to bee
centers on its corporate campuses outside Raleigh, North
Carolina,
and
Monheim,
Germany, Bayer offers teachers a
downloadable digital science lesson about bees. A company
Twitter feed promotes the benefits of neonics and studies that
refute their link to bee deaths,
often using the hashtag
#FeedABee.
A global agro-chemical trade
magazine recently honored
Bayer’s pro-bees campaign for
what judges said was its effort “to
broaden understanding and shift
conversation from blaming solely
pesticides towards a multiplicity
of factors.”
Critics say that is all little more
than propaganda akin to the cigarette industry’s efforts to confound people by highlighting
inconclusive science.
“I call it a red herring. You
claim that ours isn’t the only
problem, so therefore it isn’t a
problem,” said Massachusetts
beekeeper Dick Callahan, a
retired executive with a doctorate
in entomology who co-authored a
Harvard study on the effects of
neonics on honeybees. The companies blame a parasitic mite as
the biggest bee-killer. Callahan
said while the mite may be the
greatest adversary of his honeybees, it doesn’t explain why mitefree bumble bees are also disappearing.
Neonics were a breakthrough
because they can be used to coat
seeds rather than sprayed over
plants. As the plant sprouts, the
chemical is incorporated into
every part of it — from roots, to
stalk, to the flowers that attract
bees and butterflies.
Without neonics, growers could
face extensive crop losses since
old pesticides have been phased
out because of the hazards they
posed to humans and wildlife,
said Dominic Reisig, an insect
researcher at North Carolina
State University who advises
farmers.
“I think the final verdict is still
out there” on how large a role
neonics play in bee deaths, Reisig
said. “I would say clearly there’s
something there, but is it one
percent? Ten percent? Ninety
percent? We don’t know.”
Bayer produces three of the
world’s top five neonic pesticides
in a worldwide market estimated
to be worth about $3 billion, with
Bayer’s two top-selling products
taking about half the market,
said Sanjiv Rana, editor-in-chief
of Agrow, a trade publication for
the agricultural chemicals industry. Syngenta’s best-selling neonic is worth about $1 billion in
annual sales, Rana said.
Becky Langer, the Bayer
CropScience manager for U.S.
bee health, denied the company’s
4-year-old campaign is related to
the company’s neonic sales. It
grew out of decades of research
on the interaction of chemicals
and the crucial pollinators, she
said.
“One didn’t pop up because of
the other,” said Langer, whose
center oversees bee field research
locations in North Carolina,
California and Ontario, Canada.
She said: “Bee numbers are
actually not declining.”
But that depends how you
count. On the one hand, figures
from the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
show there are more bee colonies
now than 30 years ago.
But those numbers can be
deceiving since beekeepers routinely separate a healthy hive into
two, a practice that helps overcome accepted annual losses of
about 18 percent. Beekeeper
Steve Hildebrand, who keeps
about 20 hives outside Raleigh,
annually divides healthy colonies
to replace dead ones.
“It’s harder to keep bees than it
used to be,” he said. “It seems to
get harder every year.”
Losses in the U.S. the past five
years have been especially acute,
with reported annual losses of 30
percent to 45 percent, according
to a study authored by
researchers
including
the
University of Maryland’s Dennis
vanEngelsdorp . The heavy death
toll continues through the spring
and summer, when bee populations are collecting pollen and
should be their healthiest, the
study said.
Across Europe and nearby
countries like Algeria, beekeepers
reported 17 percent of colonies
lost last winter, twice that of the
previous year.
Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, November 23, 2015—3
Cameron pledges to outline strategy against IS this week
LONDON (AP) — British Prime
Minister David Cameron will
begin to lay out his case this
week for the Royal Air Force to
start hitting Islamic State targets
in Syria, something he has been
eager to do but feared being
blocked by Parliament.
Speaking in Paris on Monday
after meeting French President
Francois Hollande, Cameron said
the two leaders agreed to
increase counterterrorism cooperation. He called for greater
European Union-wide efforts to
share intelligence to stop extremists and offered the use of the air
base at Akrotiri on Cyprus for
actions in Syria against the
Islamic State group.
“The United Kingdom will do
all in our power to support our
friend and ally France to defeat
this evil death cult,” he said.
Cameron lost a vote in
Parliament two years ago to allow
attacks on Syria, and has been
reluctant to even suggest another
until he could be certain to win.
The RAF is already participating
in airstrikes in Iraq.
The mood in Parliament since
then has changed. The previous
vote was also directed at Bashar
Assad’s government to deter the
use of chemical weapons — not
Islamic State group militants.
The attacks in Paris, the
bombing of a Russian jetliner
and the shootings of British
tourists in Tunisia has brought
the threat of the Islamic State
group close to home. The vote in
the U.N. Security Council calling
for action against the group may
also sway the undecided.
Labour’s spokeswoman on
defense issues, Angela Eagle,
told the BBC on Monday that
even the party’s leader, Jeremy
Corbin — who is known for his
anti-war stance in general —
may vote in favor.
“My understanding is he is not
a pacifist and that means that it
is conceivable,” Eagle said.
But any measure is problematic because many lawmakers fear
revisiting the chaotic situation
that occurred in the Iraq war, in
which 179 U.K. troops died. The
stain of that conflagration weighs
heavily on Labour lawmakers,
many of whom blame their

party’s former Prime Minister
Tony Blair for dragging the country into war on false claims that
Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction and without a firm
plan for Iraq’s future.
Britain’s arsenal includes the
Brimstone missile, whose technology enables it to ensure accuracy against moving targets,
such as gun trucks used by
Islamic State group militants.
British officials say this could
reduce civilian casualties.
Cameron is also pledging to
bolster support for the military
with 12 billion pounds ($18.2 billion) more in spending to help
fund nine new Boeing P-8 maritime patrol aircraft and two new
rapid-reaction “strike brigades.”
The 5,000-strong brigades would
be able to deploy rapidly across
long distances.
On climate science, most GOP candidates fail
WASHINGTON (AP) — When it
comes to climate science, two of
the three Democratic presidential
candidates are ‘A’ students, while
most of the Republican contenders are flunking, according to
a panel of scientists who reviewed
candidates’ comments.
At the request of The Associated
Press, eight climate and biological
scientists graded for scientific
accuracy what a dozen top candidates said in debates, interviews
and tweets, using a 0 to 100 scale.
To try to eliminate possible
bias, the candidates’ comments
were stripped of names and given
randomly generated numbers, so
the professors would not know
who made each statement they
were grading. Also, the scientists
who did the grading were chosen
by professional scientific societies.
Former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton had the
highest average score at 94. Three
scientists did not assign former
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley a
score, saying his statements
mostly were about policy, which
they could not grade, instead of
checkable science.
Two used similar reasoning to
skip grading New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie and one did the
same for businesswoman Carly
Fiorina. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz
of Texas had the lowest score, an
average of 6. All eight put Cruz at
the bottom of the class.
“This individual understands
less about science (and climate
change) than the average kindergartner,” Michael Mann, a
Pennsylvania State University
meteorology professor, wrote of
Cruz’s statements. “That sort of
ignorance would be dangerous in
a doorman, let alone a president.”
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders,
with an 87, had the lowest score
among the Democrats, dinged for
an exaggeration when he said
global warming could make Earth
uninhabitable. Former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush scored the highest
among Republicans, 64, but one
grader gave him a perfect 100.
Bush was the only Republican
candidate who got a passing grade
on climate in the exercise.
Rhodes scholars
for Class of 2016
are announced
WASHINGTON (AP) — The 32
American men and women chosen as Rhodes scholars include a
member of the U.S. National
Rowing Team, an Alzheimer’s disease social activist and a Harvard
University student who holds a
Guinness World Record for balancing on an exercise ball.
The
winners
announced
Sunday by the Rhodes Trust were
chosen from 869 applicants who
were endorsed by 316 colleges
and universities. The scholarships cover all expenses for two or
three years of post-graduate
study at England’s Oxford
University starting next October.
The winners include Jennifer
Hebert, a member of the U.S.
National Rowing Team and
University of Pennsylvania senior
who is concentrating on the biological basis of behavior, and
Ericka Wheeler, a senior at
Millsaps College in Mississippi
who was inspired to become a
doctor after watching her grandfather suffer from Alzheimer’s
disease.
Hebert works to help and
instruct physically and cognitively disabled rowers. Wheeler has
worked with Alzheimer’s patients
to write down their life stories,
producing documents for their
families.
Below Clinton’s 94 were
O’Malley with 91; Sanders, 87;
Bush, 64; Christie, 54; Ohio Gov.
John Kasich, 47; Kentucky Sen.
Rand Paul, 38; Fiorina, 28;
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 21;
businessman Donald Trump, 15;
retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson,
13; and Cruz with 6.
For the Republicans, climate
change came up more in interviews than in their four debates.
But Rubio did confront the issue
in the Sept. 16 debate in a way
that earned him bad grades from
some scientists.
“We are not going to make
America a harder place to create
jobs in order to pursue policies
that will do absolutely nothing,
nothing, to change our climate, to
change our weather, because
America is a lot of things, the
greatest country in the world,
absolutely,” Rubio said. “But
America is not a planet. And we
are not even the largest carbon
producer anymore. China is. And
they’re drilling a hole and digging
anywhere in the world that they
can get ahold of.”
Scientists dispute Rubio’s argument that because China is now
the top emitter, the U.S. can do little to change the future climate.
The U.S. spews about 17 percent
of the world’s carbon dioxide
emissions, “so big cuts here would
still make a big difference globally,” said geochemist Louisa
Bradtmiller at Macalester College
in St. Paul, Minnesota. Rubio’s
inference that China is not doing
much about global warming “is
out of date. The Chinese are
implementing a cap-and-trade
system in their country to reduce
emissions,” said Andrew Dessler,
a climate scientist at Texas A&M
University.
At an August event In
California’s Orange County, Cruz
told an interviewer, “If you look at
satellite data for the last 18 years,
there’s been zero warming. ... The
satellite says it ain’t happening.”
Florida State University’s
James Elsner said ground data
show every decade has been
warmer than the last since the
middle of the 20th century and
satellite data-based observations
“show continued warming over
the past several decades.”
In fact, federal ground-based
data, which scientists said is more
reliable than satellites, show that
15 of the 17 years after 1997 have
been warmer than 1997 and 2015
is on track to top 2014 as the
warmest year on record.
Scientists singled out Sanders
for overstatement in the first
Democratic presidential debate.
“The scientific community is
telling us that if we do not address
the global crisis of climate change,
transform our energy system
away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy, the planet that we’re
going to be leaving our kids and
our grandchildren may well not be
habitable,” Sanders said.
Dessler said, “I would not say
that the planet will become uninhabitable. Regardless of what we
do, some humans will survive.”
Harvard’s Jim McCarthy also
called the comment an overstatement, as did other scientists when
Sanders said it. Recent research
on the worst heat projections in
the hottest area, the Persian Gulf,
finds that toward the end of the
century there will be a few days
each decade or so when humans
cannot survive outside, but can
live with air conditioning indoors.
Trump brought out some of the
more colorful and terse critiques.
“It could be warming and it’s
going to start to cool at some
point,” Trump said in a
September radio interview. “And
you know in the 1920s people
talked about global cooling. I don’t
know if you know that or not.
They thought the Earth was cooling. Now it’s global warming.
Actually, we’ve had times where
the weather wasn’t working out so
they changed it to extreme weather and they have all different
names, you know, so that it fits
the bill.”
McCarthy, a former president of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, called
Trump’s comments “nonsense,”
while Emmanuel Vincent, a climate scientist at the University of
California, Merced, said, “the candidate does not appear to have
any commitment to accuracy.”
The eight scientists are Mann,
Dessler, Elsner, McCarthy,
Bradtmiller, Vincent, William
Easterling at Pennsylvania State
University and Matthew Huber at
the University of New Hampshire.

LYMPHOMA
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that
attacks the lymphocytes in the body.
Lymphocytes are the disease-fighting
cells in the body. They are found in
the lymph nodes, the spleen, the
thymus, and bone marrow. While
lymphoma can be found in the bone
marrow, it should not be mistaken
for leukemia, which starts in the
blood cells in the marrow.
Lymphoma causes the lymphocytes
to lose control and grow much more
rapidly than they should. There are
two main types of lymphoma: nonHodgkin’s and Hodgkin’s, with the
two types affecting different lymphocytes. Each kind grows at its own
rate of speed and will respond differP.S. Lymphoma is a cancer, but

was in a wheelchair and I told
the doctors that I was going to
go back to work someday. I got
out of the wheelchair and was
on crutches and just kept trying until I got on the cane.
“Then I started walking and
walking until I was walking 14
miles a day. I’d walk seven
miles in the morning and seven
in the afternoon,” Simpson
detailed.
After getting bored with
walking an on the mend,
Simpson began to pick up the
pace and took up running at
the age of 69.
The rehabbing Simpson
embarked on his first race, a 5kilometer road race in
Knoxville, and before he knew
it, was hooked. According to
Simpson, he did 15 5K’s his
first year running and has
since run in an 8K at Pigeon
Forge and a half-marathon as
well.
“When you get to 70, 75 or
80, the competition really thins
out,” he joked.
In 2007, at the age of 74,
Simpson decided to run in the
Covenant Health Knoxville
Marathon.
“Both osteoarthritis and
fibromyalgia have no cure, but
what about me now?” he said.
Following his successful
completion of the Knoxville
marathon, Simpson was even

at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon with their race shirts. more hooked.
“I run a lot of 30-mile days
on my own now. My biggest
feat was doing 5,000 miles in a
year when I was 79 years old.
It took me 10 1/2 months,
actually,” he commented.
“What got me into that was
our church, First Baptist, had
a ‘Yes you can thing’ trying to
get people more into exercise. I
didn’t enter at first because I
ran all the time,” Simpson
explained.
“After two weeks, I signed up
and did 1,100 miles for the
record. Then I thought, I think
I’ll do 2,000 miles. I got to
2,000 miles and decided to go
for 3,000. I got to 3,000 and
then went on to 4,000. By
October I had done 5,000 miles
and I thought, ‘Well I could
have done more by the end of
the year,’ but decided that
5,000 was a good place to
stop.”
Simpson has estimated that
to date, he has run a little over
10,000 miles.
The most recent 26.2 miles
of that came a month ago in
Chicago, as he embarked on
the 2015 Bank of America
Chicago Marathon with his 30year-old only granddaughter,
Laurel Martin.
“About 10 or 11 years ago I
ran a few 5K races with him,
but my running has been very
sporadic. I would start running
for a little while, then quit.
We had been trying to do the
Chicago Marathon for several
years, and then one year we
were signed up, but he pulled
his hamstring and I did something to my foot,” said Martin.
The grandfather-granddaughter duo didn’t begin
training together again until
this past July, when Simpson
was under the impression that
they were training for the 7
Bridges Marathon in
Chattanooga, which had a halfmarathon Martin could run in.
“At the time, he thought we
were training for 7 Bridges
because they also have the 4
Bridges Half Marathon.
The Chicago Marathon has
no half-marathon, so it was all
or nothing. I didn’t want to tell
him about it until I knew that I
could do it,” she explained.
Martin has known for years
that one of her grandfather’s
dreams has been to run in the
Boston Marathon.
Since the time requirements
for the Boston Marathon have
been shaved so much, that
may never happen unless they
go the charity route. So, Martin
decided that the Chicago
Marathon, which is one of the
six annual international races,
was the way to go.
Knowing what her end goal
was, Martin, a Tennova nurse,
began training with Simpson.
“You know how people say
‘couch to 5K?’ It was really
‘couch to marathon, in three
months’ for me,” Martin joked.
According to Martin, the
training was the most difficult
part of the marathon process.
“The three months of training
before, if I woke up with a
headache it didn’t matter. If I
didn’t sleep at all the night
before it didn’t matter, I knew I
had to get up, go out there and
train for it or I wouldn’t be prepared,” she stated.
“Commitment is what it
takes — you’ve got to be committed,” her grandfather added.
Training went well for the
30-year old though, and soon
her grandfather felt she could
finish a whole marathon.
“When we started I told her,
‘Honey, you ought to just train
for a half-marathon.’ In that 13
weeks, she was sitting side-byside with me doing 18 miles
and I said, ‘You can do the
marathon,’” Simpson said.
It was then that Martin
sprang the big news on
Simpson.
“She told me about two
weeks before when we were
going out to eat for my birthday,” Simpson said. “She didn’t
disappoint me, I said ‘Great,
that’s one of the big ones.’
Chicago has some 45,000 people that compete.”
“To rehab myself I would
sometimes crawl to go get my
coffee and wouldn’t let my wife
wait on me — I was determined
to get better. I was in a
wheelchair and I told the
doctors that I was going to go
back to work someday. I got
out of the wheelchair and was
on crutches and just kept
trying until I got on the cane.”
— Raymond Simpson
The duo traveled to the
Windy City for the Oct. 11 race
and were met with perfect
weather conditions.
“That was the easiest run I’ve
ever had,” Martin declared.
Martin completed the full
26.2 miles in 6:13.26, with
Simpson finishing around the
seven-hour mark due to a foot
issue that resulted in him having to walk the last half.
Both finished the race and
got their medals and yes, both
treated themselves to a slice of
Chicago’s famous pizza.
“The first thing everyone
asks is, ‘Did you get the pizza?’
— not ‘Did you finish the
race?’” Simpson said with a
laugh.
For the 82-year-old, running
in the Chicago Marathon with
his granddaughter held quite a
special meaning.
“When she was little, I
remember she would come up
and ask me to go play with her,
but I hurt so bad that I
couldn’t get out of bed,”
Simpson explained. “(The
Chicago Marathon) was the
biggest thrill of my life. I’ve run
in all of these other races, but
having her run beside me was
the greatest thing I’ve ever
done in my running career.”
They both hope to run in the
Chicago Marathon next year,
with Martin planning to enter
the lottery pool in April.
Simpson hopes his story and
dedication can influence folks
young and old, but if one thing
is certain, it has most certainly
had a positive impact on his
granddaughter’s life.
“I’d like to start running
again and maybe do some
halves, so it’s not as strenuous
on my body. I would love to do
the Chicago Marathon again
next year,” Martin commented.
“I would also love for us to do
the New York City Marathon. I
found out that you can run in
the NYC and Boston marathons
through charity programs, so
we may be able to do those big
ones if we choose a good organization and are able to raise the
money.”

Scammers
From Page 1
have been targeted: Cleveland Utilities,
the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office and
the Bradley County Circuit Court
Clerk’s office.
CU was first targeted two years ago, at
about Christmastime, when a handful of
business customers received fraudulent
phone calls from culprits who claimed to
represent the local utility. Their story
then was that the customers called had
unpaid utility bills that were overdue;
and, in order to avoid having their services disconnected they could purchase a
reloadable Green Dot charge card,
transfer an allotted amount of money
onto it and then report the account
number back to the caller.
The crime attempt ran its course for a
few weeks, but Cleveland Utilities officials said to their knowledge no customers fell victim to the attempt. But,
several had been contacted. Most of
those did exactly what they should do;
that is, they called CU to report the
claim, according to Tim Henderson, vice
president of the Administrative Services
Division, and Ken Webb, CU president
and CEO.
The same type of scam resurfaced a
few months later, and then returned yet
again just a few weeks ago with a new
layer of deceit. The callers left a phone
number to call back with a recorded
message in which the voice actually said
“Cleveland Utilities.”
Webb, whose staff is well versed on
such anonymous practices, has issued
several scam alerts over the past two
years and will continue to do so for as
long as CU customers are targeted.
He is enthused by the Better Business
Bureau’s proactive approach with the
Scam Tracker and he encouraged its
use. He also reminded CU customers to
contact the utility whenever they are
approached by a potential scammer.
“Obviously, any time we can help protect the public from these scammers we
are more than willing to participate,”
Webb told the Cleveland Daily Banner.
“Unfortunately, these scams seem to be
increasing in numbers and frequency so
I would remind all of our customers to
call us at 472-4521 any time they have
any concern at all about their account
with Cleveland Utilities.”
Another local voice who is adamant
about fighting the worsening wave of
scammers and hackers is an elected
official who, himself, has been targeted
by identity thieves.
In a recent news media alert, Bradley
County Sheriff Eric Watson confirmed
over a period of time his personal
Facebook page was hacked; and, his
name and personal information were
used in an emergency room for medical
treatment in a neighboring town.
“Needless to say, these were highly
experienced hackers, as none of these
accounts were easily accessed,” Watson
said in the media statement.
Scammers have also verbally forged
names from Watson’s workforce by
claiming to be BCSO personnel who
were calling to report they had warrants
for the call recipient’s arrest. To avoid
criminal prosecution, the recipients
were instructed to pay a designated
amount using the same types of reloadable charge or debit cards, whether
Green Dot or Walmart or another.
“I hope we have made it clear that
your Sheriff’s Office does not do business like this by phone,” Watson stated
in the media alert. “We do serve warrants, but not by telephone.”
Watson’s office personnel were used
by name about two years ago when
scammers began a wave of community
calls claiming they were exercising warrants on behalf of the Circuit Court
Clerk’s office. Public attention was also
brought to those unsuccessful attempts
by Watson and by Gayla Miller, Circuit
Court clerk.
With each wave of scam or hacker
activity, the Bradley County sheriff
reaches out to the community with additional information. That’s why he’s
excited by the BBB’s involvement and
the launch of BBB Scam Tracker.
“The area we live in, especially
Bradley County, has drawn the attention of all sorts of scam artists over the
past year,” Watson said. “The Bradley
County Sheriff’s Office receives regular
complaints about them, particularly the
IRS imposter, as well as fake
Sweepstakes offers and Work-FromHome swindles.”
He added, “The Better Business
Bureau’s Scam Tracker is a valuable
tool in that it can be used to stay alert
about the various fraudulent enterprises
that move through our area. I would
“We believe BBB Scam
Tracker will be quite popular
and prove to be extremely
helpful to both consumers and
business owners. In addition,
this greatly expands our
window to the world as far as
schemes targeting other
regions and things we need to
be monitoring closely.”
— Jim Winsett
urge our citizens to become familiar with
it.”
Watson’s reference to an IRS scam
involves phone scams that have blanketed Bradley County for months.
These, too, have evolved to sound more
authentic.
The latest reports of callers using the
IRS by name came last week. In a media
alert, the sheriff said area residents
have reported to his office a caller —
who speaks in a “thick, foreign accent”
— identifying himself as an agent of the
U.S. Treasury Department who is “...
threatening enforcement action for a tax
return that the taxpayer filed several
years prior.”
Watson stressed the IRS uses other
means, such as the U.S. Postal Service,
to reach taxpayers “... and they do not
employ scare tactics.”
Similar to other scams, the callers “...
threaten arrest that the person can
avoid through payment of an amount of
money using a pre-paid card or Western
Union,” the sheriff said.
One such call, this one a female’s
voice, was received recently at a
Cleveland Daily Banner editor’s home
number. The message claimed to be left
by the IRS and warned, “... this is your
final notice.” The caller left a call-back
number, 979-703-0779.
Seeking to confront the caller, the editor returned the call from an independent site, only to receive this message,
“The person you’re calling cannot accept
calls at this time. We are sorry for any
inconvenience this may cause.”
It appeared to be the same female
voice that left the first voice-mail message on the editor’s phone.
A few days later, a second Banner edi-
tor received a call at home, allegedly
from the IRS. The caller also threatened
action. Recognizing the call as a scam —
in spite of what the editor described as a
believable male voice on the other end of
the line — the editor confronted the
caller, accused him of being a scammer
and hung up the phone.
Of the telephone pests, Watson
stressed, “Most people realize the calls
for what they are. Our fear is there are
those who will be taken in by a threat of
impending arrest and lose their hardearned savings. For anyone who needs
assistance, contact the sheriff’s office at
728-7301 and we will be glad to do anything we can to help our citizens.”
Past public alerts have been issued
about a variety of scams pervading the
Cleveland and Bradley County community ... from the BCSO and the Cleveland
Police Department, both of which
encourage area residents to report such
scam attempts.
Yet another type of scam making a
detour through the community is mortgage fraud. Watson said the BCSO is
now receiving reports of these illicit
practices.
“Scammers reach out to homeowners
who are at risk of losing their homes and
offer to help with a loan modification or
by promising to save the homeowner
from foreclosure,” Watson explained.
“These con games give the impression
that dealing with your mortgage problem is as easy as a phone call or email.”
No such luck.
Like Watson, CPD Chief Mark Gibson
— whose department also receives
reports of scam attempts — urged local
residents to use BBB Scam Tracker.
“This could be a very beneficial tool
should our community utilize it,”
Gibson said. “Warning the citizens in
our community about fraudulent activity only helps others to keep themselves
from falling victim to scams.”
Winsett said the beauty of BBB Scam
Tracker is its diverse outreach. It’s for
anyone who wants to report a fraud
attempt; or, for those who want to stay
abreast of the latest con artistry and the
regions of the nation they’re currently
penetrating.
According to a media statement
released by the BBB, “Even if consumers or business owners do not fall
victim to schemes they are confronted
with, they are encouraged to file a
report through BBB Scam Tracker
which was launched in other markets
on a trial basis earlier this year.
Encouraged by the enthusiastic
response it received, Better Business
Bureau is now offering it across the
U.S. and Canada.”
The BBB media statement added, “...
The data collected through these reports
will be shared with law enforcement
that, with enough information on the
scams and their origins, will be able to
take action to shut them down.”
Winsett said another urgency about
the launch of BBB Scam Tracker is the
level of sophistication arising within
the scammers’ world. Some of the
attempted crimes are the same as their
forerunners, but their degree of camouflage is getting more and more
believable.
“Schemes inevitably evolve, and the
bogus pitch that raises red flags at first
can sometimes be tweaked into a spiel
that deceives and defrauds many,” he
stressed. “The quicker we are made
aware of a problem, the faster we can
react to make others aware of it.”

Happy Birthday: It's time to make
personal changes. Explore different
ways to use your skills and to improve
By Ned Classics
By Conrad Day
your personal appearance to remain on
the cutting edge. Enthusiasm, style and
energy are important, so be prepared to
dazzle and entice those you encounter
to take part in your plans. Think big, but
keep things simple. Your numbers are
1, 13, 20, 29, 36, 43, 48.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sign
contracts, close deals, and invest in
yourself. Do what you can to help bring
about positive change. Opportunities
will unfold as you put an end to any
adversity in your life. Focus on doing
what's best for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Express
your feelings and make sure everyone
you are dealing with is on the same
page. You don't want to face setbacks
because someone decides to head in a
different direction than you. Be firm but
kind and you will reach your goal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Honest
and simple actions will bring you the
best results. Positions that used to
interest you will not be as exciting as
they seemed. Check credentials and
disclose any missing information before
you forge ahead. Romance is highlighted.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Restrictions will be felt if you allow
someone to meddle in your affairs.
Don't miss an event because the person you wanted to go with backs out.
Make your own arrangements and do
what suits you best. New friendships
will develop.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll have a
way with words that will draw attention
and attract interest in what you are
doing. A positive lifestyle change will
raise your standard of living and promote a healthy relationship with someone you love. Make your move.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Expect to
face problems at home that will make
your life difficult. Do your research and
make a point to check out options that
may take you in an entirely new direction. Don't be afraid to be different.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You'll
learn more if you ask questions. Being
a little more adventurous will bring
about positive changes and help free
you from some of the demands and
responsibilities you've been living with.
It's time for a change.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pursue
what interests you the most. Being different or choosing a unique lifestyle will
bring you greater satisfaction. Step up
and do what suits you and you won't be
sorry or miss what you leave behind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Stick to what you know and avoid any
misrepresentations along the way.
Someone will be quick to point out the
ways in which your plans aren't realistic.
Leave room for a romantic adventure
late in the day in order to ease your
stress.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Don't feel obligated to help others. Look
out for your own interests and stabilize
your life first. It's important to know
where you stand and what you have left
over before contributing to other people's ventures. Protect your home and
your assets.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Check out online job opportunities and
consider the changes you can make to
raise your income. Romance is on the
rise, and spending quality time with
someone special will help you come to
terms with any differences you have.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be
careful when sharing information.
Someone will be eager to steal your
ideas and take the credit. Be honest
about your intentions when dealing with
people who are causing stress. An
opportunity to begin again will tempt
you.
Birthday Baby: You are eager and
adventurous. You are confident, proud
and entrepreneurial.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
In case Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) ever
thought she needed Dr. Phil McGraw’s
help, that’s just who turns up as he plays
himself in the new episode “I’m So Happy
That Josh Is So Happy!” He advises her after she learns some information about Josh
(Vincent Rodriguez III) that distresses her.
A client (guest star Cedric Yarbrough) takes
an interest in Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin), on multiple levels. Santino Fontana
and Pete Gardner also star.
8 p.m. on (WDEF)
Supergirl
Dual identities can lead to colliding obligations, as Kara (Melissa Benoist) finds in the
new episode “How Does She Do It?” Bombings wreak havoc throughout National City
at the same time Kara is enlisted to mind
Cat’s (Calista Flockhart) son (guest star
Levi Miller) — forcing a decision on which
is the bigger job for Supergirl. James (Mehcad Brooks) is unsure about ex-girlfriend
Lucy Lane’s (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) desire
to renew their romance. Jeremy Jordan also
stars.
9 p.m. on (WFLI)
Jane the Virgin
Hiring a babysitter often is a challenge,
but even more so with the lengthy list of
requirements Jane (Gina Rodriguez) has in
the new “Chapter Twenty-Nine.” She’s also
seeking a writing advisor, and she decides
to use her grad school’s Christmas party
as a search site. Rogelio (Jaime Camil)
struggles to determine his future. Petra’s
(Yael Grobglas) efforts to bond with Jane
are foiled again. Justin Baldoni, Brett Dier
and Andrea Navedo also star.
9 p.m. on (WNGH) (WTCI)
Eddie Murphy: The Mark Twain Prize
One of the top stars to emerge from “Saturday Night Live” is feted as the 18th recipient of the honor in a ceremony taped last
month at Washington, D.C.’s, Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts. Arsenio
Hall, Kathy Griffin, George Lopez and fellow
“SNL” alums Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan and
Joe Piscopo are among those on hand to
secure Murphy — and it will be interesting
to see whether Murphy’s remarks about
earlier Twain Prize recipient Bill Cosby
make the cut.

The new episode “Evil Handmade Instrument” is the show’s midseason finale, so
you can pretty much bank on a big cliffhanger designed to bring viewers back
when the show resumes. It uses a similar
plot device as the recent movie “American
Ultra,” as “sleeper” spies are brought out
of their dormant state — and many killings
could result unless Jane (Jaimie Alexander)
and her colleagues act in time. Sullivan
Stapleton and Marianne Jean-Baptiste also
star.

students to transfer,” said Dr.
Kim
Spiezio,
Tennessee
Wesleyan’s vice president of academic affairs. “We’ll get a good
supply of well-prepared students
who may become Tennessee’s
next great teachers.”
As they created the agreement,
representatives from both colleges examined how Cleveland
State’s courses match up with
Tennessee Wesleyan prerequisite
courses for upperclassman-level
study.
While King said the faculty of
the two colleges’ education
departments have already had an
“informal” agreement in place,
she explained this agreement
helps students better understand what they need to study to
continue to be successful after
they transfer.
“It meets all their
requirements. Without
an effort like this, the
students may or may not
have the appropriate
prerequisites.”
— Dr. Denise King
Students will now have access
to a document which lists the
requirements of the two colleges’
programs side by side so they
can see what they need to take at
the community college and what
they will need to do when they
transfer to the four-year college.
Spiezio said the two colleges
plan to work together to develop
other articulation agreements,
including agreements for their
other education-related majors
and their criminal justice majors.
Dr. Robert Brandon, dean of
humanities and social sciences
at Cleveland State, added he has
also been in talks with Tennessee
Wesleyan faculty about better
aligning their mass communication majors.
The new early childhood education agreement has already
taken effect, and Cleveland State
students who completely follow
the course of study recommended as part of it are guaranteed to
have their credits transfer to
Tennessee Wesleyan.

either of the institutions or their
programs, visit http://www.twcnet.edu or http://www.clevelandstatecc.edu.
Police investigate New Orleans
shooting that left 16 wounded
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Police
have been trying to figure out
what sparked a gun battle in a
crowded New Orleans park that
left 16 people wounded and the
mayor is calling on witnesses to
come forward.
Hundreds of people were
gathered at a playground for a
block party and music video
shoot when two groups in the
crowd opened fire on each other
Sunday evening, police said.
Police were on their way to
break up a big crowd at Bunny
Friend Playground when gunfire
erupted at the park in the city’s
9th Ward, the police said in a
statement.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch
Landrieu, speaking in a news
conference aired on WWL-TV,
called on people who were in the
park to come forward with
information. The police have
also asked people who might
have any video of the shooting
to bring it to police.
“At the end of the day, it’s
really hard to police against a
bunch of guys who decide to
pull out guns and settle their
disputes with 300 people in
between them. That’s just not
something you can tolerate in
the city,” Landrieu said.
“It’s going to require the people who were in this park to
basically say they’ve had
enough and they’re not going to
put themselves in harm’s way
and give us information so that
the police can do their job,” he
said.

driven by Jason T. Allison of
Knoxville, was in the left lane,
while the second vehicle, driven
by Donald Lee Warren of
Danville, Ala., was in the right
lane. Allison lost control of his
Dodge truck, went off the interstate, and in attempting to
return to the road side-swiped
the Ford truck driven by Warren.
Both vehicles then left the
roadway, with Allison’s striking a
tree head-on. The 53-year-old
Allison was transported from the
scene by helicopter to Erlanger
Hospital in Chattanooga, where
died.
The accident, investigated by
Trooper Robert Gibson, occurred
around 2:57 p.m.
As reported in Sunday’s edition of the Cleveland Daily
Banner, THP stated that one person died in a single-vehicle wreck
on the interstate early Saturday
morning. Billy McBee, 26, of
Sevierville, was pronounced dead
at the scene of the 12:03 a.m.
accident, and two passengers in
the Nissan Sentra McBee was
driving were injured.
Reports stated that McBee lost
control of his vehicle, veered off
the left side of the road and hit a
tree in the median. One of the
passengers was ejected, while
McBee and another passenger
were trapped in the front seats of
the car.
Then, later that morning, two
tractor-trailers wrecked near the
18-mile marker, with one transporting plastic bottles that
caught fire. That accident tied up
traffic on the interstate for several hours. No fatalities were
reported in that accident, though
THP did say there were injuries
involved. No further information
was available on the big rig accident, which occurred around 3
a.m. Saturday.
lances while another six were
taken in private vehicles.
Photos of the scene showed
emergency workers wheeling
some of the wounded to ambulances on gurneys while other
people who appeared to be in
pain lay on the ground.
Joseph Jordan was inside a
house across the street from the
park with his friend, who gave
her first name as Raven, when
they heard gunshots. Later
someone called Raven and told
her her niece had been shot.
The two rushed to the hospital
to check on the 14-year-old,
who had been shot three times
in the leg.
Speaking of the hospital,
Jordan said: “It’s still crowded
back there.”
Outside University Medical
Center, Kawandra Hayney said
she had been driving about two
or three blocks from the playground with her daughter when
people ran by shooting. Her 14year-old daughter was hit once
in the knee and five times in her
backside. Hayney pulled her
daughter out of the truck and
under it to hide, then into a
nearby ditch.
“I saw the police coming,
and I ran over to them,” she
said. She said she later counted seven bullet holes in her
truck.
Investigators don’t know what
started the shooting, police
spokesman Tyler Gamble said.
He said all the victims were listed in stable condition. He said
the victims suffered either
direct gunshot wounds or were
grazed by bullets.
Large stadium lights lit up
the park Sunday as police continued to work the crime scene.
Witnesses told police the gunmen ran off after the shooting
was over.

Kyle Busch wins first Sprint Cup title
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kyle
Busch opened the season in a
hospital bed and ended it in victory lane with the championship
trophy.
Busch completed the ultimate
comeback Sunday night by winning his first career Sprint Cup
title just nine months after a serious crash at Daytona nearly
ended his season. He crashed into
a concrete wall the day before the
Daytona 500 and broke his right
leg and left foot.
Despite multiple surgeries and
grueling rehabilitation, Busch
missed only 11 races and was
back in his Joe Gibbs Racing
Toyota in late May. NASCAR
granted him a waiver to race for
the championship if he earned a
berth in the playoffs, and Busch
was off and running.
“I don’t know if I quite understand life yet, but there’s something to be said about this year,”
an emotional Busch said on his
team radio.
He won the season finale
Sunday night at HomesteadMiami Speedway to claim the title,
and knocked Kevin Harvick from
his perch as reigning champion.
Busch also denied Jeff Gordon a
fifth crown in his final race.
Gordon said before the season
started he’d retire after this race.
Harvick finished a distant second, Gordon was a mediocre sixth
and Martin Truex Jr., the fourth
driver in the championship field,
finished 12th.
“You always want to win, but
I’ve learned not to be greedy,”
Harvick said after his 12th second-place finish of the year cost
him the championship.
There was a strong sentimental
push for Gordon to go out on top
in his final race. But he was only
average all season, and that didn’t
change Sunday night in front of a
huge contingent of friends and
family that included Formula One
champion Lewis Hamilton and
Mario Andretti, who both sat atop
his pit box at the start of the race.
Gordon led nine laps early in
the race and was third for an early
restart but he bobbled it and
plummeted to eighth. That was
about as good as he’d be the rest
of the race as he struggled mightily with the handling of his
Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
“Gosh, I’m a little disappointed,
I’ll be honest,” Gordon said. “I
thought going into the race we
had something for them.”
Gordon eventually made his
way to victory lane to congratulate
Busch, who began his career as
Gordon’s teammate at Hendrick
Motorsports. Temper tantrums
and wrecked race cars led to his
release before the 2008 season,
and Busch has been chasing a
Cup championship ever since.
“All he’s been through this year,
nobody’s more deserving than
him,” Gordon said of the new
champion.
Truex, the underdog driving for
single-car team Furniture Row
Racing, also didn’t have enough in
his Chevrolet to contend despite a
handful of gutsy pit calls the team
used out of desperation.

Sunday, at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla.
“We really felt like without trying something really different, we
weren’t going to get there,” Truex
said. “We felt like we had to take a
really big swing at it.”
That made the championship
race a two-car battle between
Busch and Harvick, and the outgoing champion simply didn’t
have enough for Busch.
Busch was headed toward the
title via a second or third-place
finish in the race when NASCAR
called a caution for debris with 11
laps remaining. Team owner Joe
Gibbs pumped his fists in frustration, but Busch remained calm in
the car. The field headed to pit
road, Busch asked for an adjustment, and was second on the
restart with seven laps remaining.
He worked his way past leader
Brad Keselowski to claim the lead,
then Busch pulled away and
handily beat Harvick to the finish
line by 1.553 seconds.
“This is pretty unbelievable.
The dream of a lifetime, a dream
come true,” Busch said.
The title is a sweet reward for
Busch, who has made huge personal and professional gains over
the last several years. Known as
one of most talented drivers in the
sport, his temperament often got
in his own way. But he has mellowed with marriage, gained perspective after the Daytona wreck,
and was determined to be on his
feet in the delivery room when
wife Samantha delivered their first
baby, a boy born in May — right
after Busch returned to the race
car and celebrated his 30th birthday.
“I just can’t believe it, with
everything that happened this
year, all the turmoil, everything I
went through, my wife went
through,” Busch said. “I said back
then, I’ll say it again, the rehab
and then getting back and getting
focused was the hardest part, the
hardest thing I’ve ever gone
through.
“To put it all together here
tonight, this night wasn’t all that
hard.”
His title is the first for Toyota,
which joined the Sprint Cup
Series in 2007 and had shots at
championships but came up
empty again and again. It was
also fitting because Joe Gibbs
Racing dominated a huge portion
of this season and was the overwhelming favorite to win the title
with one of its four drivers.
Busch also joins older brother,
Kurt, as a NASCAR champion.
Kurt Busch won the title in 2004,
the inaugural season of
NASCAR’s Chase format. The system has been tweaked several
times and is in the second year of
an elimination format that sends
four drivers to Homestead to race
for the title. The first driver to the
finish line hoists the Cup, and
Busch won it by winning the race,
the same way Harvick did a year
ago.
The title is the fourth NASCAR
crown for Joe Gibbs, a three-time
Super Bowl winning coach, but
first Cup title since 2005.
Bradley basketball sees mixed results

doubleheader
Saturday at William Blount High
School saw the Bearettes roll to
victory in game one over SouthDoyle 63-27, but then selfdestruct in a game-two loss to
the
homestanding
Lady
Governors, 64-56.
A combination of tremendous
3-point shooting by the Lady
Governors combined with the
foul-plagued Bearettes and sloppy floor play led to the Bradley
loss.
After winning their first game,
the Bearettes had only a 90minute break and the Lady

Tennessee’s Devon Baulkman
matched a career high in scoring
Sunday and put the Volunteers
ahead for good with his 3-point
shooting.
He was more excited about the
4-5A All-Region
teams released
From Staff Reports
The All-Region teams have
been announced for region 45A, which includes Walker
Valley High School and
Cleveland High School.
One of the biggest awards
given out falls under the category Quarterback of the Year,
and it was awarded to Kolten
Gibson from Walker Valley.
Wide Receiver of the Year
went to Cleveland’s Skyler
Davis, while another Cleveland
player, Keegan Jones, was presented Sophomore of the Year.
Being on the All-Academic
Team is a big accomplishment
for student athletes, and
Bryson Bradley from Walker
Valley and Landon Allison from
Cleveland both landed themselves a spot on the prestigious
list.
Cleveland had the most players named All-District, with
three: Ben Wyrick, Daveron
Carlock and TJ Constant.
Walker Valley was close
behind with both Alex King and
Skyler Swafford being included
in the All-District mentions.
way he performed on the other
end of the floor.
“I’m happier with my defensive
effort because that’s what I’ve
been working on,” Baulkman
said after scoring 22 points in an
89-64 victory over GardnerWebb. “I’m trying to be a great
defender. The offense is going to
naturally come.”
Baulkman’s all-around play
helped Tennessee take control
down the stretch after blowing a
19-point lead.
Tennessee led 34-15 in the
first half, but Gardner-Webb
clawed back into the game and
eventually took a 57-55 lead on
Tyrell Nelson’s 3-point play with
10:26 remaining.
Baulkman put Tennessee back
ahead for good by sinking a 3pointer with 9:21 left. He ended
up scoring eight straight points
during a 9-0 spurt that helped
Tennessee (3-1) regain command.
Kevin Punter and Baulkman
shot a combined 11 of 20 from 3point range for Tennessee, which
closed the game on a 34-7 run.
Punter was 5 of 10 on 3-pointers
and scored 24 points. Baulkman
was 6 of 10 from beyond the arc.
“Coach told me any good look I
get, just shoot it - and shoot it
with confidence,” Baulkman
said. “Don’t think about it. Just
shoot it.”
Robert Hubbs added 17 points
and Armani Moore had 15 points
and a career-high 16 rebounds
as Tennessee won its 57th consecutive November home game.
The Vols haven’t lost a November
home game since Nov. 29, 1995,
when they fell 79-76 to Charlotte,
then known as UNC Charlotte.
Harold McBride had 17 points
to lead Gardner-Webb (1-3).
Nelson added 15 points and 10
rebounds.
Tennessee seemed on its way
to putting this one away early
thanks to Gardner-Webb’s cold
shooting, but the Runnin’
Bulldogs’ zone defense helped get
them back into the game and
briefly take the lead.
“A lot of that’s my fault,”
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes
said. “We haven’t spent enough
time working against zone. Today
was good for us.”
After Gardner-Webb pulled
ahead, Baulkman took over and
helped Tennessee get back in
control.
Gardner-Webb
wouldn’t
threaten again.
“Obviously Tennessee handled
those last 10 minutes the way
you’ve got to handle them to win
the game,” Garner-Webb coach
Tim Craft said “And we did not.”

Bears split doubleheader
The Bears lost a close opening
game to South Doyle, 85-84, in a
contest in which the Cherokees
never led until the final second
on the clock.
After jumping
out to a 16-point
lead in the third
quarter, the Bears

our team move up in the standings,” added Morgan. “Gus ran
as our No. 3 for the first time this
season and had a huge breakthrough with the race of his life
on the day it counted the most.”
Camden Perez and Terris
Elliott rounded out the scorers
for Lee. Perez was 181st (205th

2-1 victory against Newberry's
Huston Evans.
Dominic Lampe, the youngest
of the three brothers on the team,
opened with a nice pin against
Gardner-Webb's 19th-ranked
Austin Trott. He scored three
more wins before falling to GWU's
Tyler Marinelli in the finals.
Johnson powered through the
field with two decisions and two
majors, scoring at least seven
points in each match. He lost in
the finals to N.C. State's No. 1
ranked and two-time NCAA
Champion Nick Gwaizdowski
(15-2).
Debien was forced to bow out
of his finals match at 133 due to
injury. His first four wins included three decisions and a pin.
Junior Scottie Boykin also placed
in the event, finishing fourth at
197. Junior McCoy Newberg was
the other placer, finishing sixth at
184.
The Mocs will take some time
off from competition for final
exams. The next match is at VMI
on Dec. 10. The next home dual
is Dec. 18 against No. 15 Ohio at
6:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym.

Mocs host Fordham in FCS opener
From GoMocs.com
The University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga hosts Fordham in
the opening round of the NCAA
Football
Championship
Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs this
weekend. The Mocs welcome the
Rams to Finley Stadium for a
1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) kickoff on
Saturday, Nov. 28.
This marks the second straight
season UTC has secured a bid
into the playoffs. It is also the
second year in a row
Chattanooga hosts at least one
home game.
Tickets are available now on
GoMocs.com. Fans can also call
the UTC Ticket Office beginning
tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. at (423)
266-MOCS (6627) to purchase
tickets. All season tickets holders were mailed information last
week on how to purchase their
seats for the playoffs. Check
your
ticket
account
on
GoMocs.com or call the UTC
Ticket Office on Monday with any
questions or to purchase additional tickets. Tickets prices
start at $5 for students, $20 for
general admission and $30 for
reserved chairbacks.
"This is a position that we are
thrilled to be in," head coach
Russ Huesman said. "We're 8-3,
we got a share of the conference
championship, we get a home
game and we're playing a good
team. We're in the playoffs! I
can't imagine anybody not being
excited right now in Chattanooga.
We're thrilled and we understand
that we have a good team coming
to Finley."
This will be the first ever
matchup between UTC and
Fordham, as the Rams closed out
their regular season with a 9-3
overall record, and finished 5-1 in
the Patriot League. They began
their season with an FBS win
when they defeated Army 37-35
on the road in Week 1.
"Fordham can play. They beat
Army this year and lost to
Villanova 14-7," Huesman said.
"They are a playoff team each and
every year and we know that we
will have a tough test. This is an
exciting day and this is fun.
"This is what you look for right
here. We're one of 24 teams right
now that can win an FCS
Championship. We're excited!"
The Mocs wrapped up their
regular season yesterday with a
52-13 loss to No. 16 Florida State
to finish 8-3 overall. A week prior,
UTC won a share of its third
straight Southern Conference
title with a 31-23 win over The
Citadel. That win gave the Mocs
(6-1 in the SoCon), an automatic
bid into the playoffs.
The NCAA football oversight
committee is expected this week
to provide guidelines for matching bowls with sub.-500 teams if
there are not enough bowl-eligible squads to fill the record 80
postseason spots available this
year.
Bowl officials are hoping the
committee, which is led by Big 12
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, can
provide some order to a potentially disorganized situation.
“I think we’ll still get to 80. If
we don’t, I have confidence the
NCAA will work out all of those
details,” said Wright Waters,
executive director of the Football
Bowl Association.
There are 71 teams that have
met the minimum bowl-eligibility
requirement of six wins and at
least a .500 record in 12 games
going into the final two weeks of
the regular season. Nineteen
more teams can still reach bowl
eligibility, 15 need one more victory. Texas, Kansas State,
Georgia State and LouisianaLafayette need to win their final
two games.
Among those teams that are a
victory away are Virginia Tech
(which plays Virginia), Illinois
(No. 17 Northwestern), Missouri
(Arkansas) and Washington (No.
20 Washington State).
The ever-growing bowl lineup
reached 40 this offseason, not
including the College Football
Playoff championship game. That
means 63 percent of FBS teams
will play in the postseason, more
than ever before.
In 2012, the NCAA was asked
to come up with a safety net plan
to fill all the bowls if there were
not enough teams that met the
minimum requirements. The protocol allows 5-7 teams to play in
the postseason if they are among
the top five schools in the NCAA’s
Academic Progress Report for the
most recent season recorded.
Those
teams
(Wisconsin,
Northwestern, Duke, Michigan
and Stanford) are already bowl
eligible.
Waters said the expanding
bowl lineup comes from demands
on conference commissioners
from their members to have a
postseason spot for every eligible
team. Last season 61 percent of
FBS finished bowl eligible and
not all of those teams played in
bowl games.
“The pressure on commission-
ers to get as close as they can to
have all their teams taken care of
brings us to the brink of
Armageddon,” Waters said.
Temple, for example, went 6-6
last season and was left out of the
postseason
because
the
American Athletic Conference did
not have a spot in its bowl lineup
to accommodate all its eligible
teams. American Commissioner
Mike Aresco responded by creating new games to add to the
league’s bowl inventory.
The oversight committee will
not only have to determine which
teams with losing records will be
allowed into the postseason, but
bowl officials are also hoping for
some guidance with a selection
process. It is likely that the bowls
will need to take teams from conferences with which they are not
affiliated.
Bowlsby declined comment
until the committee had worked
out some solutions.
Waters said it is important to
find a way for teams to be
matched with bowls in their
region.
“I think’s that’s the challenge
Bob’s committee is facing,” Water
said. “I don’t think anybody
wants to send a team from one
side of the country to the other
side of the country. Especially if
you’re talking about a team that’s
less than .500. We’ve been studying it in the FBA for a couple
years now and we know that
regional teams, compelling
games and hungry teams are
what work best in bowl games.
“There’s a lot of challenges to
Bob’s group”

Lady Cougars remain dominant
From CSCougars.com
The Lady Cougars are on top
of the conference standings
after a road victory at Motlow
State Saturday night.
Cleveland State's defense
took control in their 58-44 win,
allowing the Bucks just 25 percent shooting from the field
while securing 18 more total
rebounds.
"It was a low-scoring defensive match, but we were able to
hit a couple of big shots down
the stretch and make free
throws to get the win," said
head coach Dan Lumpkin.
Sophomore guard JLynn
Majors went 7-of-8 from the
free-throw line and led all scorers with 15. Freshman forward
Leisa Butler had a double-double night, with 14 points and
11 rebounds. Freshman forward Jaclyn Griffith was the
game's only other double figure
scorer, with 10.
The Lady Cougars did not
allow Motlow State (5-4, 3-2) a
single double digit scorer and
held the Bucks to just one
three pointer. Cleveland State
(9-1, 6-0) went 5-of-14 from
downtown.

squad. Tipoff is set for 5:30

MOTLOW STATE 62
CLEVELAND STATE 57
Cleveland State took the conference's top team to the wire
Saturday night.
The Cougars played at
Motlow State (9-2, 5-0) losing
62-57 in a game in which a few
too many turnovers decided the
outcome.
"We played hard and competed, but made too many mistakes with our decisions on
offense," said head coach Lee
Cigliano. "We stayed in the
game with hustle, but just
weren't smart with the basketball."
Cleveland State (4-6, 3-3)
committed five more turnovers
than the Bucks on the night.
Motlow State tallied a 13rebound advantage.
Reid Pierce and Jaqualis
Matlock each had 10 rebounds
for the Bucks, while Jaylen
Barford led all scorers with 16.
Sophomore forward Dontrell
Whitaker was the only Cougar
to score in double figures with
14 while also bringing down 10
rebounds, for a double-double.
Cleveland State looks to
bounce back on Tuesday night,
ending their three-game road
trip in a nonconference
matchup against Handle It
Prep.
Jones brings big plays to No. 2 Bama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) —
Cyrus Jones can be easy to overlook behind all those bulky runstoppers and pass rushers on
Alabama’s defense.
The slightly undersized cornerback and return man, who
admits teammates think he has a
case of “little man syndrome,” is
doing pretty well himself. He’s
just been more noticeable lately.
Jones has returned three
punts for touchdowns in the past
two games while flashing moves
befitting a former wide receiver
for the second-ranked Crimson
Tide, which moved up a spot in
Sunday’s Associated Press poll.
He had a 43-yarder and a 72yarder in Saturday’s 56-6 win
over Charleston Southern that
set the stage for the Iron Bowl at
Auburn.
No other Alabama player has
scored on punt returns two
games in a row or twice in a
game, according to school
records dating back to 1944.
“It’s amazing the plays he
makes,” Tide quarterback Jake
Coker said after the game. “I
guess we take it for granted
sometimes, but he’s just an
unbelievable athlete.”
The 5-foot-10, 196-pound
Jones has been a steady defender
while fellow defensive backs
Minkah Fitzpatrick and Eddie
Jackson were each collecting a
couple of interception returns for
touchdowns.
Jones, the team’s most experienced defensive back, has gotten
into the scoring act lately on special teams. His feisty personality
might rub off on a secondary that
features a freshman (Fitzpatrick),
two safeties playing new positions
(Jackson and Geno MatiasSmith) and other youngsters in
significant roles.
“They say I’ve got little man
syndrome, just kind of because of
my demeanor and how I
approach things,” Jones said last
week. “I’m just trying to be physical regardless of my size. I don’t
back down from people. I guess it
is carrying over to the rest of the
secondary.”
Jones and the other DBs have
been overshadowed by a front
seven that might be the best in
college football. The Tide also
ranks sixth nationally in pass
efficiency defense, aided of course
by Alabama’s best pass rush in
years.
Saturday was Jones’s day.
He also sniffed out an option
pitch and returned it 18 yards to
Charleston Southern’s 6-yard
line. It left the senior savoring the
performance in his final game at
Bryant-Denny Stadium.
“I think it was just one of those
games where you feel it,” Jones
said afterward. “I think every
player has had that moment in
their careers, where you just feel
like it’s on that day and that play.
In basketball you see players a
lot, kind of like streaky shooters.
“They hit one, they see one go
in and they keep on shooting.
They feel as though they can’t
miss. Definitely kind of had that
feeling a little bit.”
Jones has thrived since moving
to coach/secondary specialist
Nick Saban’s side of the ball.

Late FG lifts Colts past Falcons
Lady Flames handed
2nd loss of the season
Visiting Bellarmine University
(Louisville, Ky.) jumped out to a
24-12 lead at the end of the first
quarter and never trailed in
handing Lee an 84-76 defeat in a
NCAA Division II non-conference
game in Walker Arena on
Saturday evening.
The Knights continued to hold
a 40-25 lead by halftime and
then turned back a late surge by
the Lady Flames in the final period to improve their record to 2-0
on the year, while the Lady
Flames dropped 1-2.
"You can't commit 24
turnovers against a team like
Bellarmine and expect to find a
way to win," said coach Marty
Rowe after the loss. "Coach
Chancellor Dugan is a former
Division I coach and does an
excellent job of coaching her basketball teams. Hopefully, our
girls can look at the film and
learn from this game. We are
going to play a lot of teams in the
Gulf South Conference that are
as good as or better than
Bellarmine."
The Knights got 21 points from
Sarah Galvin, who converted 11of-12 free throws and also pulled
down seven rebounds. Destony
Curry nailed 3-of-6 3-pointers
and was 4-of-4 from the charity
stripe and tallied 19 points.
Whitney Hartlage and Mackenzie
Martinez pitched in with 10
markers apiece.
A huge stat in the contest saw
the Knights march to the freethrow line 49 times and convert
36. For the game they shot 42
percent from the field and 38
percent from behind the arc.
While Lee was guilty of the 24
floor mistakes, Rowe's club was
able to force the visitors into 19
turnovers, several late in the
contest.
On the other hand, Rowe
praised the effort of Erin Walsh,
especially in the second half. The

sophomore finished with 21
points and was 7-of-16 shooting
from the field. Carrie Cheeks had
another solid game with 19
points and a team-leading eight
rebounds. The Lady Flames outrebounded Bellarmine 34-29.
Anna Woodford also played well
in the final 20 minutes and
totaled nine points and four
assists. Shelby Brown followed
with seven markers and
Christina Johnson has six points
and five rebounds.
After shooting only 32 percent
in the first half, the Lady Flames
came back and cut deeply into
the Knights lead by shooting 56
percent in the second half.
"When you out-shoot a team 46
percent to 41 percent, you
should be able to win most
games,"
remarked
Rowe.
"However, when you turn the ball
over 24 times and the officials
call 35 fouls on your club, that
explains why it is hard to win."
The Lady Flames will have
some time to relax and maybe
heal some wounds. They will

Presidential campaign targets ISIS
Islamic State murders in Paris focus
attention on Clinton’s foreign policy
WASHINGTON (AP) — How the West
should respond to the threat posed by the
Islamic State in the wake of the attacks in
Paris appears likely to become the dominant
question of the next phase of the 2016 race
for president, perhaps for no one more than
Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
The attacks that killed 129 people, fueling
a fresh wave of anxiety about the threats
posed by Islamic State militants, highlight
Clinton’s tenure as a former secretary of
state and her argument that she is the 2016
candidate most ready to sit in the Oval
Office. But in her role as President Barack
Obama’s top diplomat, Clinton was deeply
involved in crafting the Middle East policy
that critics say contributed to the rise of
Islamic State extremists.
That dual dynamic played out Saturday
night during the second Democratic presidential debate, which began with a moment
of silence and 30 minutes of questioning
focused exclusively on the attacks and
unrest in the Middle East.
Clinton cast herself as a strong leader in
a scary world, attributing the chaos in the
Middle East not to U.S. policy failures but a
decades-long “arc of instability, from North
Africa to Afghanistan.” Yet she also grappled
with tough criticism of her approach to more
than a decade of unrest across the region.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders blamed her
2002 vote for the war in Iraq for the rise of
al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, saying
the decision to invade “unraveled the region
completely.” Former Maryland Gov. Martin
O’Malley offered his own condemnation,
painting a picture of a world in flames and
an Obama-led strategy that’s been “not so
very good at anticipating threats.”
“Libya is now a mess. Syria is a mess.
Iraq is a mess. Afghanistan is a mess,” he
said.
While Clinton has highlighted her differ-
AP NEWS ANAYLSIS
ences with the Obama administration on
their approach to the civil war in Syria in
the past, she now largely declines to criticize
his strategy.
After using her opening statement to
make the point that the Islamic State group
“cannot be contained, it must be defeated”—
a dig at Obama’s description of the group as
“contained” in an interview a day before the
attacks — Clinton was quick to align herself
with administration policy.
She passed up opportunities to mention
her support for a more aggressive strategy
in Syria that includes a no-fly zone, a policy
backed by her Republican rivals and
opposed by the Obama administration.
Disputing a charge the White House repeated the mistakes of the war in Iraq in Libya,
she argued the administration had a plan
for the ousting of Moammar Gadhafi. And
she supported the White House’s argument
that the president does not need a formal
declaration of war from Congress to go after
the Islamic State militants, disagreeing with
some prominent congressional Democrats
who’ve split with Obama over whether his
constitutional powers cover the new conflict.
When asked whether Obama underestimated the threat of Islamic State militants,
she dodged the question, saying simply,
“what the president has consistently said,
which I agree with, is that we will support
those who take the fight to ISIS.”
Obama remains a popular figure in the
Democratic Party and Clinton’s ability to
capture the White House will depend in
large part on whether she can win over the
coalition of minority, women and young voters that twice catapulted him to victory.
But his foreign policy remains deeply
unpopular. An Associated Press-GfK poll
released earlier this month found more than
6 in 10 Americans reject his handling of the
threat posed by the Islamic State.
Republicans are eager to tie Clinton to the
legacy of her former boss.
“The president has admitted he does not
have a strategy as it relates to ISIS. Hillary
Clinton last night said that it’s not our
fight,” said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in
a Sunday morning interview on CNN’s “State
of the Union.” ‘’It is our fight.”
They jumped on her refusal, like Obama,
to label the efforts to fight terrorism as a
war against “radical Islam,” a rhetorical
choice Republicans frequently cite as a sign
of weakness.
“That would be like saying we weren’t at
war with Nazis, because we were afraid to
offend some Germans who may have been
members of the Nazi Party but weren’t violent themselves,” said Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio said in an interview on ABC’s “This
Week.”
Republicans are in for their own reshuffling in the wake of the attack. For months,
GOP primary voters have favored outsider
candidates with little public policy experience, most notably billionaire businessman
Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon
Ben Carson. New worries about future
attacks may prompt them to reassess the
field.
There’s little question the West will take a
more aggressive stance against the Islamic
State group, a shift described by White
House national security adviser Ben Rhodes
as an “intensification of our efforts” and by
a stunned French President Francois
Hollande as being “unforgiving with the barbarians.”
But a lot remains unknown about the
exact diplomatic and military actions
Obama, Hollande and their allies will take.
What’s clear, though, is that Clinton — and
the rest of the presidential field — will have
to answer for them.

Dear Annie: I am six months
into a separation from my husband of seven years. (The separation was his idea.) I thought our
relationship was solid and was
completely blindsided when he
told me he felt deserted and lonely.
While I am still hoping for reconciliation, I have recently begun
seeing someone else. My relationship with Mr. New is of the
friends-with-benefits nature. I
have no desire to actually date
him (we want very different things
in life), and at any rate, he is leaving the area in a couple of
months. But for the moment, he’s
a fun distraction and a muchneeded boost to my ego.
If I reconcile with my husband,
am I required to disclose this liaison? My husband has been seeing other women for quite some
time, although this was not a factor in our separation. We have a
“don’t-ask-don’t-tell” type of open
marriage and seeing others is
accepted. — Still Married
Dear Still: If you have a “don’task-don’t-tell” relationship, then
you are under no obligation to
disclose anything about your
extracurricular
activities.
However, if your husband feels
lonely and abandoned, you might
want to rethink the type of marriage you have. Open marriages
don’t work for everyone, and
yours may not be as satisfying as
either of you expected.
Please don’t assume your problems will resolve themselves during the separation. The two of you
should have a frank and honest
discussion and see whether you
can get to the root of your issues.
Then you can work on making the
necessary adjustments so things
improve. Otherwise, professional
counseling can help steer you in
the right direction, together or
separately.

Big premium increases foreseen for Medicare drug plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — With
time running out on open
enrollment season, many seniors are facing sharply higher
premiums for Medicare’s popular prescription drug program.
The reason: rising drug costs
have overtaken a long stretch of
stable premiums.
Beneficiaries have until Dec.
7 to see if there’s a lower-cost
plan that will cover their medications in 2016. Consumer
advocates and experts say it will
pay to shop around this sign-up
season.
“Premiums are going up.
Deductibles are going up,” said
Tricia Neuman, a Medicare
expert with the nonpartisan
Kaiser Family Foundation.
“There is some potential to save
a lot of money by switching
plans.”
Government spending on the
program also has risen significantly, driven by pricey new
drugs, notably for hepatitis C
infection. The cost for the hepatitis drugs in the Medicare program is expected to be $9.2 billion this year, nearly doubling
from 2014. Because of the prescription program’s financial
structure, taxpayers cover most
of the cost for expensive medications. Three out of four
adults infected with hepatitis C
are baby boomers, the group
now entering Medicare.
Also known as “Part D,”
Medicare’s prescription plan
serves about 40 million older
and disabled people. Benefits
are provided through a variety
of insurance arrangements.
Stand-alone drug plans that
work with traditional Medicare
are the most popular, accounting for more than half of beneficiaries — about 24 million people.
Sal Natale, a retired dentist
who lives near Tampa, Florida,
said prescription premiums for
him and his wife are going up
about 30 percent next year, and
he doesn’t see a good alternative.
“I’m just going to grin and
bear and hope it starts moderating,” Natale said. The couple is
signed up in the Humana
Enhanced plan, one of the top
10. Nationally, premiums for
that plan are going up by about
$13 a month, according to the
Kaiser foundation.
Indicators signal rising costs
across the program. Among
them:
—independent estimates by
Kaiser and the consulting firm
Avalere Health show increasing
premiums for stand-alone drug
plans. The average premium will
rise from $36.68 to $41.46 per
month next year, or 13 percent,
according to Kaiser. Even if
many beneficiaries switch to
lower-cost options, it’s likely to
be the biggest increase since
2009.
—the maximum deductible
for prescription coverage will
rise by $40, to $360. That’s the
biggest increase in the
deductible since the inception of
Part D in 2006. The deductible
is the amount of drug costs that
beneficiaries must pay each
year before their insurance

kicks in.
—taxpayer expenditures for
the “catastrophic” portion of the
benefit — in which beneficiaries
with high drug bills pay only 5
percent of the cost — will rise by
$4.5 billion in 2016, an increase
of more than 14 percent.
Spending for catastrophic coverage has doubled in just a
short time, from $15.5 billion in
2012 to an estimated $31.2 billion this year.
The analyses from Kaiser and
Avalere are seemingly at odds
with the message coming from
the Obama administration,
which estimates that drug premiums will remain stable in
2016, averaging $32.50 a
Syria’s Assad may outlast Obama in office
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bashar
Assad’s presidency looks likely
to outlast Barack Obama’s.
As the United States has
turned its attention to defeating
the Islamic State group, it has
softened its stance on the Syrian
leader. More than four years ago,
Obama demanded that Assad
leave power. Administration officials later said Assad did not
have to step down on “Day One”
of a political transition. Now,
they are going further.
A peace plan agreed to last
weekend by 17 nations meeting
in Vienna says nothing about
Assad’s future, but states that
“free and fair elections would be
held pursuant to the new constitution within 18 months.” To
clarify the timeline, the State
Department said this past week
that the clock starts once
Assad’s representatives and
opposition figures begin talks on
a constitution. The vote would
determine a new parliament,
though not necessarily a new
president.
Getting to constitutional talks
will be difficult. It implies that
Syria’s warring parties first
reach a cease-fire and establish
a transition government —
something unattainable so far.
Neither Syria’s government nor
its fractured opposition has
endorsed the strategy yet or
done much to advance it.
“Nothing can start before
defeating the terrorists who
occupy parts of Syria,” Assad
recently told Italian state television. Assad considers anyone
fighting him, including moderate
rebels, to be terrorists.
Obama countered: “I do not
foresee a situation in which we
can end the civil war in Syria
while Assad remains in power. ...
Even if I said that was OK, I still
don’t think it would actually
work. You could not get the
Syrian people, the majority of
them, to agree to that kind of
outcome. And you couldn’t get a
number of their neighbors to
agree to that outcome, as well.”
Syria was the focus for
Secretary of State John Kerry as
he headed to the United Arab
Emirates on Sunday for talks
with government leaders. Many
more discussions with Arab officials are planned over the next
months.
The uncertainty of the new
peace process, particularly as it
pertains to Assad, points to
Washington’s evolution from
early in the civil war, when
Obama and other officials boldly
stated the Syrian president’s
days were “numbered” and
sought his immediate departure.
The focus of Washington —
and much of the world — has
shifted now to IS, whose most
recent attack killed at least 130
people in Paris on Nov. 13. As a
result, the U.S. is cooperating
with Russia and Iran, countries
it once tried to ostracize because
of their support for Syria.
The hope is peace between
Assad’s forces and moderate
rebels will allow everyone to
work together to defeat IS.
The U.S. and its allies say
Assad remains responsible for
far more Syrian deaths than IS.
His military has used chemical
weapons and continues to drop
barrel bombs that indiscriminately hit foes and civilians
alike.
But for all their brutality,
Assad’s forces are not directing
attacks in European capitals,
beheading American journalists
or downing Russian passenger
jets. Unlike IS, Assad has powerful patrons in Moscow and
Tehran. Russian airstrikes since
September have helped stiffen
the Syrian government’s defenses, while Iranian forces and
proxy Hezbollah militants have
added muscle to its ground operations.
The U.S. is trying to take all
these
considerations
into
account as it refines a common
strategy with partners in Europe
and the Arab world that see
Syria’s conflict differently. The
Europeans are mostly concerned
about the refugee crisis across
their continent, and they fear
more deadly attacks. Saudi
Arabia and others backing the
rebels want foremost to defeat
Iran, which they would see in
Assad’s downfall.
The U.S. says both sets of
goals are connected. To defeat
IS, the president said last month
there has “got to be a change a
government,” rejecting any
approach that returns Syria to
the “status quo ante.” The war
has killed more than 300,000
people and uprooted some 12
million.
The Nov. 14 statement from
the Vienna talks, involving the
U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran
and more than a dozen other
governments, avoids the most
critical questions to achieve that.
It does not outline which opposition groups can negotiate with
Assad and which are considered
terrorist groups. Assad isn’t even
mentioned.
In one way, vagueness is the
statement’s strength, allowing
Iran and Russia to make common cause in the search for
peace. But it may not satisfy
everyone’s idea of a “transition.”
By itself, the plan offers no
clear path for Assad’s departure,
raising the prospect of the
embattled Syrian leader still in
office when Obama’s presidency
ends on Jan. 20, 2017.
Western diplomats described a
poker game being played
between the U.S. and its own
allies. U.S. officials said that
while they accept the idea that
Assad won’t leave office immediately, the plan for his exit will
have to be clarified as part of the
diplomatic process.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and
Turkey are being counted on to
persuade the Syrian opposition
to support the plan, but will only
do so if they get a guarantee on
Assad. The U.S. and its
European partners cannot offer
that guarantee, according to the
diplomats, who were not authorized to discuss the talks publicly
and spoke on condition of
anonymity.
If the opposition rejects talking, Assad will not resign as a
result. The rebels would not gain
sufficient strength to defeat him
on the battlefield, and Russia
and Iran would not stop supporting him.
Even if the plan is accepted by
all and works to the best of
expectations, Assad would be
appear locked in for a transition
process that could extend deep
into 2017 or longer.
If after 18 months or two
years, IS is defeated and calm is
restored, opposition groups
would risk reigniting Syria’s conflict by reasserting demands for
Assad’s ouster. World and
regional powers would face the
same quandary.
For these reasons, some
Western diplomats have begun
talking about the possibility of
Assad staying on indefinitely as
a ceremonial president, though
stripped of his control over the
nation’s security and intelligence
apparatuses.
It’s unclear whether any of the
sides in the fighting would see
that as an acceptable compromise.
month.
But the administration and
the independent analysts measure differently. For example, the
administration adjusts its number for the estimated impact of
people assumed to be switching
to lower-premium plans.
The outside analysts don’t
make similar assumptions.
Instead, they focus on what’s
happening to premiums in the
plans for which people are currently signed up.
Nationally, average premiums
are going up by more than 15
percent in five of the top eight
plans, according to the Kaiser
study. Two plans will see singledigit increases. One plan —
SilverScript Choice — will see a
small reduction. The most popular plan — AARP MedicareRx
Preferred — will go up from
$50.19 to $60.79, a 21 percent
increase.
Sean Cavanaugh, deputy
administrator at the Centers for
Medicare
and
Medicaid
Services, said the administration has a good track record
with its estimates. “We do think
ours is more illustrative of what
beneficiaries actually experience,” he said.
Cavanaugh did say the
administration is concerned
about the cost of new breakthrough drugs. The insurers
who deliver Medicare’s prescription benefit have limited options
for bargaining down the prices
of those medications, because
usually there’s no competing
alternative.
“The challenge in the Part D
program is around high-cost
specialty
drugs,”
said
Cavanaugh. “We certainly have
to be concerned about anything
that’s driving that much cost in
our program.”
With polls showing that drug
costs are the top health care
issue for the public, presidential
candidates are weighing in.
Options they propose range
from giving Medicare direct
authority to negotiate drug
prices, backed by Democrat
Hillary Rodham Clinton, to
speeding up approval of new
drugs, advanced by Republican
Jeb Bush.
Consumer advocates are
skeptical that seniors shopping
for better deals will be sufficient

“People can’t deal with the complexity of deductibles, coverage

Natale, the Florida retiree,

growth of costs worries him.

Russia’s Putin in Iran for talks to focus on Syria
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Russia’s
President Vladimir Putin was in
Tehran on Monday for talks with
Iranian leaders expected to focus
on the Syrian crisis and an international peace plan intended to
end the conflict.
The visit comes as Russia, the
United States, France and others
are talking about possible joint
action against the Islamic State
group following the terror attacks
in Paris and the downing of a
Russian passenger jet in Egypt.
Putin’s trip also comes on the
heels of agreement on an incomplete peace plan that calls for
talks between Assad and his foes.
Moscow and Tehran have been
the key backers of Syrian
President Bashar Assad throughout his nation’s civil war, which
has killed over 250,000 people
and turned millions into refugees.
Russia has shielded Syria from
international sanctions, and on
Sept. 30 it launched an air campaign against the Islamic State
group and other insurgents, while
Tehran has sent military advisers
to shore up Assad.
Putin, on a one-day visit to
attend a gas exporting nations’
summit, is set to meet with Iran’s
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei and President Hassan
Rouhani. Assad’s fate will likely
dominate the agenda.
The peace plan put forward by
17 nations a day after the Paris
terror attacks sets a Jan. 1 deadline for the start of negotiations
between Assad and the opposition.
The proposal, which seems to
draw heavily on a recently circulated Russian initiative, states
that “free and fair elections”
would be held according to a new
constitution within 18 months. To
clarify the timeline, the State
Department said last week that
the clock starts once Assad’s representatives and opposition figures begin talks on a constitution.
The vote would determine a new
parliament, though not necessarily a new president.
The plan says nothing about
Assad’s fate, and does not say
which of Syria’s many opposition
factions would take part in the
negotiations.
Russia and Iran both have bristled at demands for Assad to step
down, saying his future must be
decided by the Syrians as part of
the peace process. But some have
speculated that Moscow could be
prepared to see Assad phased out
of power as part of a deal that
would guarantee stability in Syria
and protect Russia’s interests
there. Tehran is widely seen as
taking a more rigid stance.
Shiite Iran has staunchly
backed Assad, who belongs to
Syria’s Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, seeing him
as a bulwark against its archrival,
Saudi Arabia, and other Sunni
monarchies of the Gulf. Tehran
has sent more advisers to Syria in
recent weeks, reportedly including Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who
heads the elite Quds Force of the
Revolutionary Guard. Iran says it
has sent advisers but no combat
forces.
Taking advantage of the
Russian airstrikes, the Iranians
and Hezbollah have spearheaded
the ongoing Syrian offensive
intended to win back some
ground after a string of losses
earlier this year. Moscow has
closely coordinated its air campaign with Tehran, with Russian
warplanes flying over Iran and
Iraq to avoid the airspace of
Turkey and other NATO members.

Older workers seeking options for reducing hours on the job
(AP)— Roberton Williams’ plan
was to retire on his government
pension and take a part-time job
to make up the difference in
salary. It didn’t quite work out
that way.
Williams, 68, did retire but
then started another full-time job
with the Tax Policy Center, a
Washington think tank.
“The plan was to work full time
just until I got my feet wet,”
Williams said. “But, I ended up
working full time for the next nine
years.”
He’s far from an aberration.
Many aging baby boomers are
caught between a desire to work
less and a labor market that just
isn’t ready to let them go.
According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, 17.7 percent of
people 65 and older are still working in some capacity, compared
with 11.7 percent in 1995.
Of course, part of this increase
could be due to a growing fear felt
by many Americans about financial insecurity during retirement.
Survey data has shown that fears
about outliving one’s savings are
factoring into retirement planning. That is even prompting 34
percent of workers age 60-plus to
say they plan on working until
they die, or are too sick to work,
according to a recent Wells Fargo
survey.
Some workers just want a gradual transition, whether for financial reasons or just to keep working jobs where they can still contribute and help train the next
generation.
Slightly more than 40 percent
of U.S. workers hope to cut back
hours or transition to a less
demanding position before retirement, according to a 2015 report
from the Transamerica Center for
Retirement Studies.
One option offered by a small
number of employers is “phased
retirement,” which allows retiring
workers to go part time while also
mentoring
their
incoming
replacement, providing for a
smoother transition. The Society
for
Human
Resource
Management puts the number at
8 percent.
In other cases, employers are
eschewing formal arrangements
in favor of short-term contracts.
“One thing we see is that
employers are increasingly able to
tap into a more flexible labor mar-
ket, rather than going through
formal HR structures,” says Jean
Setzfand, AARP’s senior vice president of programs. “So having
hard-and-fast rules for this can
be difficult.”
For federal workers, Congress
passed legislation in 2012 creating a phased-retirement program,
and the Office of Personnel
Management, or OPM, formalized
the rules last year.
To date, OPM has only finalized
16 applications for phased retirement from workers at the Library
of
Congress,
NASA,
the
Broadcasting Board of Governors
and the Energy Department. It
expects to soon receive 12 more
from the Smithsonian Institutionthat’s from a federal workforce
where 45 percent of employees
are aged 50 or over.
OPM has stressed that it is up
to individual federal agencies to
decide when and if they will offer
a phased-retirement option to
their employees.
Tancred Lidderdale, 62, is one
of the initial 16 who chose phased
retirement. He works for the
Energy Department as an economic forecaster, applying highly
complex mathematical models to
oil and gas markets. He’s had an
integral part in building these
models over the past two decades.
“I know our agency would miss
me,” Lidderdale said. “They knew
I was thinking about retirement
and mentioned this option as a
way to help pass on what I know
before I leave.”
Lidderdale will work part time

THE OCOEE MIDDLE SCHOOL STEM Leadership Team recently presented its STEM projects to the
Bradley County Board of Education during a recent work session. The projects included robotics building
and programming, 3D animation, designing, and printing. Dustin Fromm, right, is the instructor of all
STEM classes at Ocoee Middle School, while OMS Principal Ron Spangler is at left. STEM stands for
science, technology, engineering and math. The Ocoee Middle students include Connor Rollins, Zach
Turner, Sarah Turner, Rachel Delgado, Traegan Gober, Blake Campbell and Dustin Fromm.
VALLEY VIEW ELEMENTARY students received a treat last week when they got to travel to Bradley
County Fire Station No. 12. Members of Bradley County Fire-Rescue took the students in tow and taught
them all about fire safety. Above is Rebecca Miller’s fourth-grade class visiting with the new fire dog,
“Sparky.” Below, a firefighter shows the students how a fully dressed firefighter looks. The students and
their instructors expressed their appreciation to the firefighters at Station 12.

VALLEY VIEW ELEMENTARY fifth-graders were recently inducted into the National Junior Beta Club.
At the celebration were, back row from left, teacher Jennie White, Xander Caywood, Aiden Adams,
Principal Corey Limburg and teacher Chase Smartt. On the middle row, from left, are Emma Sullivan,
Josie Biscoe, Garrett Williams, Cody Campbell, and Kadie Greene. In the front row, from left, are Skyann

Students in the Junior Beta Club will automatically transition into the Beta Club when they graduate to
middle and high school. Beta Club is a service-oriented club with students doing service projects, including Pennies for Pasta (benefitting the National Lymphoma Society), a canned food drive to help supply
the Valley View Baptist Church food bank, and Operation Christmas Child. Students are chosen for this
honor based on academic achievement, attitude and character.

MRS. CHANTEL HARDEN’S third-grade class at Hopewell Elementary recently discovered just how
far you can travel with a postcards. These students (above) spent considerable time completing their
geography unit. As part of this unit Mrs. Harden decided to get a little help from social media. With the
help of friends and family, the students received postcards from 22 states. As the postcards came in, the
students would locate the state of origin and place them on the class map, below. Participants said they
really enjoy the fun and informational notes included with the postcards.
BRISTOL — Working adults in
East Tennessee will have the
opportunity to complete their
bachelor’s or master’s degree
from King University next year.
King offers programs specifically designed with the adult learner
in mind through the University’s
Graduate, Professional, and
Online Studies programs, as well
as numerous courses for students who wish to transition from
an associate degree to a bachelor’s degree.
“It has never been a better time
for working adults to return to
school to pursue their degree,”
says Micah Crews, associate vice
president
of
Enrollment
Management. “Whether they
attend one night a week in one of
our 14 locations or completely
online, they can complete their
major coursework in as little as
16 months.
This allows them the balance
they need for work and family, as
well as the opportunity to achieve
a goal that could launch their
careers in a whole new direction.”
