DELANO, Tenn. — The
searchers are waiting for the water
to go down, waiting for the mud to
settle. They are waiting for crews
to clear logs and branches from
the creek.
On Monday — five days since a
man and two of his children went
under — about 50 people kneeled
on the creek bank or paddled in
kayaks, looking for bodies.
“They are in the water,” said

West Polk Fire and Rescue, as he
scanned the dirty creek from a
bridge.
Nick Alley, 36, and two of his
children, 7-year-old Helana Alley
and 6-year-old Lazarus Alley,
spilled out of their canoe on the
rain-swollen Conasauga Creek on
Wednesday, and not a sign of them
has been found since. Three of his
other children who had gone on
the creek that day returned safe.
A few miles down the road, past
chicken pens, turned dirt and rows
of blue cabbage, people gathered
in a cabin-style church for singing and sermons in honor of the
missing. It was a funeral without
bodies. They didn’t think it was
right to wait. Nearly 500 people
attended.

57TH PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION
■ Two council members have
said they oppose the proposed
Hixson development.
By Mike Pare
and Cliff Hightower
Staff Writers
Chattanooga’s City Council
today may bring to a close one of
the most contentious and hardfought rezoning battles in the
city in years.
But most council members
Monday were reluctant to talk
about how they will vote as they
weigh the $100 million Chattanooga Village proposal in Hixson for
the second time in two weeks.
Most said they would take
a wait-and-see approach, and
they want to
know if some
of the conditions related
to the apartment and commercial project
have been met
since the last
time the counAndraé
cil spoke to the
McGary
developer and
residents.
“My gut says
there’s some
details outstanding,” said Councilman Andraé
McGary, who
made the motion
to defer the
Pam
rezoning effort
Ladd
two weeks ago.
The project, slated for a vacant
190-acre tract near state Highway
153 and Boy Scout Road, calls for
construction of up to 280 apartments. In addition, plans are to
build 500,000 square feet of retail
space and 250,000 square feet of
offices. The project would be one
of the biggest mixed-use developments ever in Hamilton County.
Councilwoman Pam Ladd, who
represents the area, said she wants
to hear more of developer Duane
Horton’s plans for the area and
whether he has met some or most
of the proposed conditions laid
out earlier by area residents.
“I have residents close to the
area and are concerned about
the traffic,” she said.

‘We must act’
President implores nation to seize the moment

McClatchy Newspapers
ASHINGTON — Barack Hussein Obama launched his second term as the nation’s 44th

its founding ideals by uniting to solve the
country’s problems.

■ ERLANGER FINANCES
Halfway through Erlanger
Health System’s fiscal year,
the hospital has posted $2.5
million in losses — a significant improvement from last
year’s grim midyear financial
report, at which point the
hospital had lost $10.3 million.
Despite the positive development, the hospital chalked up
a $1.1 million loss in December, with a drop in inpatient
surgeries during the month.
■ GOP MEETING U.S. Sen.
Lamar Alexander took his
spot on the dais in Washington, D.C., Monday, celebrating the peaceful reaffirmation of “immense power”
and urging Americans of all
persuasions to “find the good
and praise it.” “We do this in
a peaceful, orderly way,” the
Maryville, Tenn., Republican
said before President Barack
Obama took his ceremonial
oath of office. “There is no
mob, no coup, no insurrection.” But the senator’s
speech failed to mollify some
conservatives back home.

a Republican organization,
met Monday and largely dismissed the spectacle, defining Obama’s second swearing-in as a moment they can’t
wait to forget.
■ SHOOTING VICTIMS A
shooting on Rossville Boulevard marks the seventh
shooting of the year for the
city. A little more than a
week ago, another man was
shot on the same street.
Chattanooga police have
released the names of three
people who were wounded
in a shooting Sunday night.
Christopher Penn, 21, Dayontae Menifee, 24, and Amy
West, 19, were all wounded
when a gunman opened
fire and fled in a white
Ford Crown Victoria in the
3700 block. It’s possible the
shooting involved more suspects. Witnesses said about
10 to 15 shots were fired.
■ LIQUOR VOTE Summerville, Ga., City Councilman
Dale Housch doesn’t think
restaurant-goers have ever
been able to buy a cocktail
with their meal in Chattooga
County. At least not during
his lifetime. “To my knowledge, it’s never been legal,”
Housch, 66, said. “But I’m
still a young man.” If Housch
is right that liquor by the
drink has never been allowed
in the county, then history
could be made on March 19.
That’s the date that the Summerville City Council unanimously picked to put liquor
by the drink before voters in
Summerville, the Chattooga
County seat.
IN LIFE
■ DISNEY WORK On
August afternoons last summer, as the smile on the
face of Ooltewah’s Brittany
Kanerva melted in the searing heat, she wondered what
a nice accounting major
was doing in a place like
this — holding back crowds
during the parade down
Main Street at Walt Disney
World. Despite the heat,
the Lee University junior,
who interned with Disney
from January to August,
says working for the Florida
entertainment resort was
a good experience and a
chance to “do something
different” before she bore
down to finish her degree.
When the opportunity came
to apply for the Disney College Program, she jumped.
She is one of a number of
Chattanooga-area residents
who have helped put the
magic in the Magic Kingdom through the program in
recent years.
IN SPORTS
■ TOUGH TO BEAT Defeating Florida has been futile
for Southeastern Conference
teams so far in men’s basketball. Coming within 20 points
might be a more reasonable
goal. Billy Donovan’s veteran
Gators have shot out of the
league gate by routing Georgia 77-44, LSU 74-52, Texas
A&M 68-47 and Missouri
83-52. They led each of their
last two games by 17 points
at halftime. The Gators are
14-2 overall, and all the victories have been by 13 or more
points. Georgia gets a second
crack Wednesday night when
the eighth-ranked Gators visit
Stegeman Coliseum.

LONDON — Britain’s Ministry of Defense says Prince Harry
is returning from a 20-week
deployment in
Afghanistan,
where he served
as an Apache
helicopter pilot
with the Army
Air Corps.
The 28-yearold prince was
Prince Harry stationed at
Camp Bastion
in the southern Afghan desert.
Known as Capt. Wales in the
military, Harry flew scores of
missions as a co-pilot gunner,
sometimes firing rockets and
missiles at Taliban fighters.
Harry’s second tour in Afghanistan went more smoothly than
the first, in 2007-08, which was
cut short after 10 weeks when a
magazine and websites disclosed
details of his whereabouts.

President Barack Obama walks with daughters Sasha and Malia, first lady Michelle Obama
(in a Thom Browne dress) and mother-in-law Marian Robinson to St. John’s Church during
the 57th Presidential Inauguration on Monday.
First lady starts 2nd term in style
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
first family headed out to
Monday’s inaugural festivities
with Michelle Obama leading
a very coordinated fashion
parade in a navy-silk, checkered coat and dress by Thom
Browne that were inspired by
a menswear necktie.
The rest of her Inauguration Day outfit included a
belt from J. Crew, necklace by
Cathy Waterman and a cardigan by Reed Krakoff, whose
ensemble she also wore to
Sunday’s intimate, indoor
swearing-in ceremony.
President Barack Obama
wore a blue tie with his white
shirt, dark suit and overcoat.
Malia Obama had on a plumcolored J. Crew coat with the
hemline of an electric-blue
dress peeking out and a burgundy-colored scarf, and her
younger sister Sasha had on a
Kate Spade coat and dress in
a similar purple shade.
Mrs. Obama has worn
Browne’s designs for other
occasions, including a gray
dress with black lace overlay
to one of the presidential
debates last fall, and she honored him last summer at the
Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt
National Design Awards for
his contribution to fashion.
Browne made his name
in modern menswear, but
he launched womenswear
in 2011. He was in Paris on
Monday, having just finished
previews of his fall men’s
collection, and wasn’t immediately available for comment.
Simon Collins, dean of the
school of fashion at Parsons
the New School for Design in
New York, said the Obamas
dressed in their typical fashion: one that shows pride in
their appearance.
“They are a stylish couple,
and their children look
fabulous. Too many people
get dressed in the dark,” he
said. “They show it’s good to
dress up, take pride in how
you look. ... It’s a wonderful
example for America and the
rest of the world.”
He also noted that the
Obamas seem to understand
that the fashion industry is
a driving force in the U.S.
economy and that its lobby
is a powerful one. They don’t
treat fashion frivolously, he
observed.
Radcliffe conjures Allen Ginsberg

The Associated Press
Daniel Radcliffe
PARK CITY, Utah — Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t mind
hearing that schoolgirls were
staking him out at Utah’s Sundance Film Festival, hoping for
a Harry Potter sighting.
In fact, Radcliffe is happy if
his Potter fame draws interest
for what he wants to do with
the rest of his career, such as
his bold turn as young gay
poet Allen Ginsberg in the
Sundance premiere “Kill Your
Darlings.”
Radcliffe goes nude for
an explicit sex scene with
another man, makes out with
co-star Dane DeHaan and
also appears in another sex
scene with a library clerk. As
with his Broadway debut in
“Equus,” which also featured a
nude scene, Radcliffe said his
celebrity from the boy wizard
franchise might lure fans who
wouldn’t have seen a film such
as “Kill Your Darlings.”

High school graduation rate highest since 1976
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The nation’s
high school graduation rate is the
highest since 1976, but more than a
fifth of students are still failing to get
their diploma in four years, the Education Department said in a study
released Tuesday.
Officials said the steady rise of students completing their education is a
reflection of the struggling economy
and a greater competition for new
jobs.
“If you drop out of high school,
how many good jobs are there out
there for you? None. That wasn’t true
10 or 15 years ago,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in an interview
with The Associated Press.
The national dropout rate was
about 3 percent overall, down from
the year before. Many students who
don’t receive their diplomas in four
years stay in school, taking five years
or more to finish their coursework.
Some 3.1 million students nationwide earned their high school diplomas in the spring of 2010, with 78 percent of students finishing on time.
That’s the best since a 75 percent
on-time graduation rate during the
1975-76 academic year.
There were tremendous differences among the states in 2010. Fiftyeight percent of students in Nevada
and 60 percent in Washington, D.C.,
completed their high school education in four years. By comparison,
91 percent of students in Wisconsin
and Vermont did, according to the
report.
Graduation rates increased by
more than a percentage point in 38
states between 2009 and 2010, the
study found. Only the District of
Columbia saw its graduation rates
decline by greater than a percentage
point during those years.
Among the most significant factors of the increase was the dire U.S.
economy after the 2008 Wall Street
meltdown. During the 2009-10 academic year, unemployment ranged
from 9.4 percent to 10 percent.
California, the nation’s largest public school system by enrollment, led
the nation in new graduates in 2010,
turning out almost 405,000. It also
produced the most dropouts: almost
93,000. That translated to a rate of
about 5 percent, above the national
average.
During the 2009-10 academic year,
some 514,000 students dropped out
of high school nationwide. Still, the
rate declined from 4 percent during
the seven previous academic years,
when data was sometimes incomplete
or represented averages of states that
reported figures.
Nationally, students were most
likely to drop out of high school during their senior year, with roughly one
in 20 quitting before graduation day.

French take control of key Mali towns
north of Bamako, the capital,
fell into rebel hands on Jan. 14.
Residents said those who fled
in the aftermath were forced
to escape on foot through rice
fields.
“We are truly really grateful
to the French who came in the
nick of time,” said Gaoussou
Kone, 34, the head of a local
youth association. “Without
the French, not only would
there no longer be a Diabaly,
there would soon no longer be
a Mali. These people wanted
to go all the way to Bamako.”
On Monday, all that
remained of the Islamists
were the charred shells of
their vehicles destroyed by
the French air strikes. Three
of them were clustered in one
location, the machine gun cannon of one still pointing skyward.
Meanwhile, Egyptian
President Mohammed Morsi
— who hails from his country’s oldest Islamist group,
the Muslim Brotherhood
— opposed France’s military
intervention in Mali. Speaking
at the opening of an Arab economic summit in Saudi Arabia, he said France’s actions
would create a “new conflict
hotspot” separating the Arab
north of Mali from its African
neighbors to the south. He
said he would have preferred
to see a “peaceful and developmental” intervention.
On Monday, about 200
French infantrymen supported
by six combat helicopters and
reconnaissance planes made
their way to Diabaly. Associated Press reporters saw French
troops in camouflage uniforms
take up positions in front of a
Malian military camp in the
town.
Moscow evacuating Russians from Syria
The Associated Press
BEIRUT — Russia said
Monday it is sending two
planes to Lebanon to start
evacuating its citizens from
Syria, the strongest sign yet
that President Bashar Assad’s
most important international
ally has serious doubts about
his ability to cling to power.
The Russian announcement came as anti-government
activists reported violence
around the country, including
air raids on the town of Beit
Sahm near Damascus International Airport, just south of
the capital.
Russian officials said about
100 of the tens of thousands
of Russian nationals in the
country will be taken out overland to Lebanon and flown
home from there, presumably
because renewed fighting near
the airport in Damascus has
made it too dangerous for the
foreigners to use that route
out of the Syrian capital.
Assad has dismissed calls
that he step down. He has
proposed a national reconciliation conference, elections
and a new constitution, but
the opposition insists he play
no role in a resolution to the
conflict.
Russia has been Assad’s
main ally since the conflict
began, using its veto power in
the U.N. Security Council to
shield Damascus from international sanctions.
Russia recently started to
distance itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling that it is
resigned to him losing power.

NEW DELHI— Five men
accused of raping and murdering a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in a case that
has transfixed India appeared
before the trial judge Monday for a brief and largely
procedural hearing.
The judge, Yogesh Khanna, scheduled the next hearing for noon Thursday, when
defense attorneys and prosecutors are expected to begin
arguments over precisely
which criminal charges the
accused will face at trial.
Nearly a dozen reporters
were present in the courtroom, the first hearing before
Khanna in the fast-track court
specifically set up for this
trial. But Khanna ordered the
reporters to leave the courtroom before the proceeding
took place under a renewed
order that will make the trial
closed to anyone not directly
connected to the trial, including reporters.

A squadron of Russian
Navy ships is in the Mediterranean for a planned exercise
near Syrian shores later this
month. Military officials earlier said that the exercise will
simulate marines landing and
taking people on board from

DIABALY, Mali — French
troops in armored personnel
carriers rolled through the
streets of Diabaly on Monday, winning praise from residents of this besieged town
after Malian forces retook
control of it with French help
a week after radical Islamists
invaded.
The Islamists also have
deserted the town of Douentza, which they had held since
September, according to a
local official who said French
and Malian forces arrived
there on Monday as well.
The militants’ occupation
of Diabaly marked their deepest encroachment into government-held territory, and
Monday’s retaking of the town
is a significant victory for the
French-led intervention.

Hundreds of Chattanoogans attend inauguration
Staff Writers
As soon as President
Barack Obama emerged from
the nation’s capital building
there was screaming and
shouting.
“It brought back an appreciation for freedom,” said
Winston Clay. “And as soon as
he [Obama] began to speak,
people started crying.”
The 17-year-old Howard
School junior was among an
estimated 700,000 to 800,000
people from across the country, including hundreds from
Chattanooga and Cleveland,
Tenn., who attended Obama’s
historic second inauguration
Monday.
“It is a marvelous sight,
truly an extraordinary experience,” said Clay while
watching the inauguration in
Washington, D.C., with his
father, George Clay.
The crowd, packed with
people enduring the cold
weather, included many
Obama supporters wearing
jackets, T-shirts and hats that
read “Fulfilling the dream,”
Clay said. The clothing
displayed the late King on
one side and Obama on the
other.
King gave his famous “I
Have a Dream” speech in
1963 in the nation’s capital.
The march pushed the 1964
Civil Rights Act that ended
unequal application of voter
registration and demanded
an end to racial desegregation in schools and public
places.
Nearly 50 years after that
march and 40 years after
King’s assassination, Obama
was elected as the country’s
first black president in 2008.
He won a second term in
November 2012.
“King took an assassin’s
bullet and went to the other
side believing that this day
will happen,” said Dr. Sylvia
J. Greene, a local retired educator who also attended the
inauguration.
Marvella Cox said she
couldn’t stop looking at the
expressions on the faces of
Obama’s family.
“It was like they said, ‘We
made it again, and we’re
going to do so much to
improve conditions during
this term,’” which performed
just before the inauguration.
The Lee University choir
was beautiful, Cox said.
“And when they broke
out with the ‘Chattanooga
Choo Choo,’ I went crazy,
and everybody around was
asking, ‘Are you from Chattanooga?’”
Chicago Tribune
The Lee University Festival Choir from Cleveland,
Tenn., warms up Monday before the ceremonial inauguration of President Barack Obama at the U.S. Capitol.
204-member Lee University Festival Choir described
their vantage point for a 17minute performance of six
songs, including “Chattanooga Choo Choo.”
Later, they watched over
Obama’s shoulder as he gave
his inaugural address.
“I was probably 50 feet
from the stand where he did
his speech and they did the
swearing-in and everything,”
said Jordan Mulkey, a 19-yearold choir sophomore from

A sea of spectators packed
the National Mall to watch
Obama, 51, sworn into office
a few minutes before noon
on the west side of the U.S.
Capitol, the first Democrat
in seven decades to twice
win a majority of the popular vote. First lady Michelle
Obama and daughters, Sasha,
11, and Malia, 14, looked on,
as did former Democratic
Presidents Jimmy Carter
and Bill Clinton. The two
living Republican former
presidents didn’t attend, the
ailing George H.W. Bush and
son George W. Bush.
“O-bam-a!” the crowd
chanted. “O-bam-a!”
Noticeably grayer than
when he first took office,
Obama had officially started
his second term 24 hours earlier, after a brief private ceremony at the White House.
Monday’s proceedings fol-

lowed the tradition of delaying the public inauguration
a day when the official date
prescribed by the Constitution falls on a Sunday.
Monday’s events were
jubilant, though they didn’t
have the same level of excitement as four years ago, when
a young senator promising
hope and change became
the nation’s first black president. Officials estimated that
as many as 1 million people
turned out for the festivities,
far short of the nearly 2 million in 2009 but an aboveaverage audience for a second-term inauguration.
After a bitter election and
constant clashes on Capitol
Hill, Obama used his inau-
said of the entire experience.
“It was once in a lifetime.”
Devlin Reasy, 21, a sophomore from Minnesota, said,
“Never been that close to a
president before. I kind of
like reverted to childhood.
... Oh my goodness, I can’t
believe this is happening.”
Other political celebrities
within shouting distance of

U.S. Sen. John McCain.

gural address to encourage
those with differing views
to work together to accomplish something, even if it’s
not everything.
“For now decisions are
upon us, and we cannot afford
delay,” he said. “We cannot
mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle
for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate,” the
president said. “We must act;
we must act knowing that our
work will be imperfect.”
Outlining the nation he
envisions, he sounded the
themes of his recent campaign as a call for using the
federal government to shift
the benefits of the country
and its economy to the poor
and middle class and away
from the wealthy.
“We, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a
growing many barely make
it,” he said. “We believe that
America’s prosperity must
rest upon the broad shoulders
Clay said he walked the
path of the March on Washington to get to the National
Mall, where he and his father
watched Obama give his
inaugural address.
Throughout his speech
Obama kept saying, “We the
people, we the people,” said
Clay.
He said Obama’s speech
emphasized that people have
to come together to make life
better for everyone.
The goal is to make sure
that everyone has life, liberty
and opportunity to pursue
happiness. A girl born poor
should have equal opportunity to attend college and start
a business as another born
wealthy, Obama said.
Obama’s speech covered
issues from slavery to civil
rights to equal opportunity.
“I was proud of him for
that,” said Cox.
But the overarching theme
was people working together
for the good of their fellow
men and women, she said.
Patricia Pace said Obama’s
speech “hit home. He said
it’s not about individuals;
it’s about what we can do
together.”
Clay summed up the
speech, saying, “It takes one
person to make a movement.
It’s going to take many to
make a change.”

of a rising middle class.”
He linked past sacrifices to
current struggles for equality
for all: economic equality for
the poor, civil rights for gays,
equal pay for women.
“We, the people, declare
today that the most evident
of truths — that all of us are
created equal — is the star
that guides us still,” Obama
said. “Just as it guided all
those men and women, sung
and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall,
to hear a preacher say that
we cannot walk alone; to
hear a King proclaim that our
individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom
of every soul on Earth.”
Republicans, who joined
Obama at the White House in the
morning for coffee and later at
the Capitol for lunch, expressed
hopes that the two sides could
work together on fiscal issues.
“The president’s second
term represents a fresh start
when it comes to dealing with
the great challenges of our day;
particularly, the transcendent
challenge of unsustainable federal spending and debt,” said

The choir’s performance
“went off without a hitch,”

Mulkey said, “It was the

had.”
Mulkey said he got up at
3 a.m. Monday. The choir
checked out of their hotel
early Monday and got to the
Dirksen Senate Office Building near the Capitol around
6:45 a.m.
They were seated in their
bleachers at 8:40 a.m. and
started singing at 9:45 a.m.
The choir was expected to
be back in Cleveland around

U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and his wife, Honey, met

“Sen. Lamar Alexander is

Conn said. “He came with his

congratulated the students.”

trend of downsizing from a large
home to a well-designed smaller
home with luxury amenities is on
the rise, she added.
The model home as well as those
already available feature sturdy
stone, brick and Hardie plank exteriors, hardwood floors, tile baths,
fireplaces, built-ins and sodded,

range from $214,000 to $289,000, but
the community offers price points

A select builder team, an architectural review committee and
community restrictions and covenants ensure that the architectural

Council
• Continued from Page A1
But two council members
adamantly oppose the project. Councilmen Jack Benson
and Manny Rico said they
would vote no on the project
at this point.
Benson said he would only
support the project if its zoning remains residential and
the developers come back at
a later date to get approval
for the other sections they
want to create commercial
and business. He said he
wants to also hear timelines
on when the developers
would start each phase.
“The way it’s presented
now, I’d have to vote against
it,” he said.
But Councilman Russell Gilbert, who also said
he wanted to wait and hear
the presentation, added he
could see the developer’s
point of view. He said it
would be hard for a developer to accept coming back
for different rezonings in the
future with no guarantees a
future council would accept
them.
He said he also thinks the
developer appears to have
incorporated some of the
changes sought by those who
challenged the project.
“It seems he did change
the plans based on [the residents’] recommendations,”
he said. “It has seemed like
he did what he said he’s
going to do.”

LONG FIGHT
The council’s action could
end a rezoning fight that
started shortly after Horton’s
Scenic Land Co. unveiled a
development proposal nearly
a year-and-a-half ago. Two
weeks ago, the panel deferred
action on the proposal until
today.
Gregory Vickrey, the
North Chickamauga Creek
Conservancy’s executive
director, said that despite
two weeks of talks with the
developer, he’ll urge the
council to vote no.
“[Horton] has demonstrated a willingness to make
cosmetic changes,” said Vickrey, but the developer has
dismissed the more central
concerns.
stay near their gardens and
barns, on the small winding
roads that connect them to
each other.
“Don’t expect them to
talk,” one woman said.
No one begrudged them
for moving on with the service and saying goodbye. The
search is a recovery, not a
rescue now, said Lofty.
“There has to be some
closure,” he said. “This is
their way.”
Contact staff writer Joan
Garrett at [email protected] or 423-7576601. Follow her on Twitter
at @JoanGarrettCTFP.
Horton, however, said
the meetings were productive and 10 more conditions
were added to the original
25 that planners put on the
proposal.
“They’ve improved the
plan for the community and
for us,” he said.
Horton said there is no
fall-back position for him
today.
“The option we’ve put forward is the best option for
the landowner,” he said. “It
goes much further to protect
the property than how it’s
zoned in its current state.”
Vickrey said any fall-back
position from his viewpoint
would mean accepting the
conditions the Conservancy
and neighbors have requested.
“Is there wiggle room
within the conditions? Probably. But when the developer
has dismissed the big-picture
items — those things central
to a good development — we
think it’s a flawed project,”
he said.
Ellie Wallis, who lives
in a neighborhood near the
proposed development and
has been an active critic of
the project as a member of
the Don’t Chop the Hilltop group, said “important
points” for critics weren’t
addressed by Horton.
She mentioned that planners had wanted the development’s retention ponds to
meet the standard of holding
1.6 inches of water from rains,
but that was later changed
to 1 inch and Horton hasn’t
budged.
Wallis said there also
has been no change in the
amount of buffer space some
residents would like to see,
and Horton has not submitted an updated grading
plan.
Also, she worried about
potential public costs related
to transportation changes
adjacent to the site.
SOME ARE IN FAVOR
Some Hixson residents,
though, are upbeat about
Horton’s plan.
Marv Martin, a Hixson
real estate broker, said that
while he doesn’t live closest
to Chattanooga Village, worries about reduced property
values are “unrealistic in a
number of ways.”
“The uncertainty of the
future use of this land is negatively influencing the value
of these properties,” he said
in an email. “A well-designed
and -implemented plan for
future use of this property
would remove this uncertainty and ultimately have a
positive influence on these
property values.”
Martin said that traffic,
erosion and stormwater runoff are issues that must and
can be addressed.
“If zoning is approved,
then it is up to designated authorities to see that
requirements are met as
the development progresses
with immediate penalties
and enforced remedies for
violations,” he said.
Martin added that
increased property tax
revenues in Hixson will

build a stronger platform
for improvements in its
schools.
Meanwhile, both sides
used outside help, including
lawyers and public relations
experts, to push their cases
— unusual for a rezoning
case in Chattanooga.
Attorney Joe Conner was
hired by the Conservancy,
while lawyer Sam Elliott has
helped developer Horton.
Derryberry Public Relations has aided Horton while
Albert Waterhouse and
Nathalie Strickland of Waterhouse Public Relations have
weighed in with critics or
Chattanooga developer CBL
& Associates Properties Inc.,
the owner of nearby Northgate Mall.
Earlier reports indicated
CBL was playing a role in
trying to derail Horton’s
plans.
CBL on Monday declined
to comment on the matter. Vickrey said that while
he did reach out to CBL to
let company officials know
what was going on, he hasn’t
accepted money from them,
nor did the company offer.
Vickrey said Conner is paid
by the Conservancy.
Wallis said she hasn’t
worked with CBL on the
project.
Strickland said Water-
house did help Michael Lebovitz, a top CBL official, talk
with some council members
about the project.
Waterhouse said there
are concerns that there’s an
estimated 600,000 square
feet of vacant commercial
space in the Hixson area.
He said his firm was paid
by CBL.
Horton said he had no
comment on CBL, except
to note that “competition is
important and healthy for
our economy.”
He has estimated the
project would spur 2,000
jobs and generate $2 million
in annual taxes. He also has
said that area property values will rise because of the
development.
But Vickrey said stormwater management of the site is
a big issue for him. He added
that phased zoning, whereby
the apartments are built first
and other parts then rezoned,
would make sense.

and mutual funds and
more to find investments
that would be most beneficial to each individual
client on any given day, he
said.
For those wondering
when a good time to start
building a plan is, the answer, said Winchester, is
the sooner, the better.
“As soon as they read
this article,” he joked.
“People have a misperception of what financial
planning is and often see it
as a concrete assignment.
And while that’s not true,
the more planning we can
do now and the more deliberate we are with our
actions, the closer the client will be to their goal in
the end.”
He added that there
are no guarantees, but the
more knowns and the fewer random variables there
are in the equation now,
the better results they can
help the client achieve.
“We are all about reality,” he said. “We are con-

reating custom income strategies is
more than just a
tagline for Lawson Winchester Wealth Management. It’s the way the firm
does business.
“It’s our full motto about
the way we do everything
from financial planning to
building portfolios,” said
Bill Winchester, the firm’s
co-founder,
managing
partner and branch manager. “Everything we do is
completely customized.”
Most financial planning
companies group all their
clients into two or three
different styles in order
to manage as many as
possible and do an “OK”
job, he said. Lawson Winchester works to meet the
needs of the individual
and does so through getting to know that person
and their hopes for the
future by using a “Jerry
McGuire” model, said
Winchester.
“We are much more intentional to focus on the
client,” he said. “We work
our hardest based on the
person’s goals, hopes and
even their personalities.”
He and his partner did
not start the firm to be
average, but rather to deliver superior returns and
build superior relationships, he added.
When starting with a
new client, executives at
Lawson Winchester begin
with two basic questions:
“How much income will
you need and when will
you need it?” Winchester
said. “We back it up from
there and everything is
very much based on that
person and where they
are in life.”
Everyone needs income
the day they retire, but
how does one go about
making sure it’s there and
in the capacity that they
need? Lawson Winchester
executives suggest and
work toward a strategy
that pairs growth with
income-producing dividends.
As history continually
repeats itself and markets
go up and down, Winchester explained that in
the history of investing,
nearly 50 percent of the
overall return from all
markets came from dividends.
“In the flat and down
years, dividends far outperform,” he said. “When
people reach the point of
retirement, they can stop
reinvesting and start taking their cash.”
The firm’s executives
constantly do research
for solid dividend-paying
investments that have a
track record of price appreciation or at least preservation of capital, said
Winchester. They look for
equities, closed end funds

Hundreds march Monday to the Tivoli Theatre in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
DAY OF DIVERSITY
MORE THAN 40 GROUPS MARCH IN HONOR OF M.L. KING JR.
“
By Lindsay Burkholder
It’s nice
to see all the
different
people who
came out
to walk,
especially
when you
think about
how it was
when they
first started.
It’s cool to
think you’re
walking with
people you
might not
have been
walking
with back
then.

athered outside in the late afternoon sunshine, crowds of people
waited for the start of the Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
March.
“We want everybody involved,” said
Napoleon “Donut” Williams, coordinator
of the parade for the past 20 years.
More than 40 groups participated in
the event Monday, ranging from the Urban
League of Greater Chattanooga to a group
of motorcyclists and student organizations.
The atmosphere was exuberant. People
chatted amicably, children laughed and
chased one another across the sidewalks
and balloons and colorful banners bounced
around in the hands of many of the parade
participants.
Many expressed sentiments about the
diversity of the day.
“It’s nice to see all the different people who came out to walk,” said Morgan
Smith, a senior at UTC, “especially when
you think about how it was when they first
started. It’s cool to think you’re walking
with people you might not have been walking with back then.”
Artez McLaughlin, national achievers coordinator for the Urban League,
brought a group of about 20 students to
the parade.
“We’re supporting the cause and all the
freedoms that Martin Luther King fought
for. We just had to show up,” he said.
The event culminated at the Tivoli Theatre. There were a number of musical performances from local groups, including the
Barger Academy of Fine Arts Chorus.
Before performing, the children huddled
excitedly backstage.
“Man, it’s going to be good!” said Aaliyah, 7.
“I think it’s really fun,” said Amari, 8. “I
hope I can do it again.”
The evening ended with the keynote

Alexander’s tone fails to connect
with some local Republicans
By Chris Carroll
Staff Writer
U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander
took his spot on the dais in
Washington, D.C., Monday,
celebrating the peaceful reaffirmation of “immense power”
and urging Americans of all
persuasions to “find the good
and praise it.”
Speaking in short, powerful
sentences, Alexander struck
an apolitical tone during his
two minutes on the national
stage, addressing an estimated
crowd of 600,000 before President Barack Obama took his
ceremonial oath of office.
“We do this in a peaceful,
orderly way,” the Maryville,
Tenn., Republican said.
“There is no
mob, no coup,
no insurrection.”
But the
senator’s
speech failed
Lamar
to mollify
Alexander
some conservatives back
home. Members of the Hamilton County Pachyderm Club,
a Republican organization,
met Monday and largely dismissed the spectacle, defining
Obama’s second swearing-in
as a moment they can’t wait
to forget.
Halfway through Erlanger
Health System’s fiscal year,
the hospital has posted $2.5
million in losses — a significant improvement from
Erlanger’s grim financial status at this time last year, at
which point the hospital had
lost $10.3 million.
Despite the positive
development, the hospital
chalked up a $1.1 million
loss in December, with a
drop in inpatient surgeries
during the month driving a
large part of the deficit.
Adam Royer, associate
administrator for Erlanger
Medical Center, explained
that the downturn in surgeries could be attributed
to the departure of several physicians who have
not been replaced, and to
Christmas being held on
a Tuesday, meaning more
doctors took an entire
week off during the holiday
instead of half a week.
“In order to have full
disclosure — they started
down before the holiday,”
interjected interim president and CEO Charlesetta
Woodard-Thompson.
Chief Financial Officer
Britt Tabor said inpatient
surgeries were tracking to
be at or above budget for
January.
Gains at T.C. Thompson
Children’s Hospital helped
buoy the month’s financial
status, along with boosts
from the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit and
emergency department.
“It’s an improvement
from last year, but not
where we want to be from
a budget standpoint,” said
Tabor.
During December last
year, the hospital had posted a loss of $3.9 million.
“I’m a Republican, so I still
wish we had a Republican
in office,” Hamilton County
Republican Party Chairman
Marty Von Schaaf said in an
interview. “If Obama’s going
to do anything, he’s going to
have to quit spending money.
He’s got to show me something.”
Dissatisfaction emerged
in other ways. One attendee
applauded when the meeting’s
featured speaker, state Sen. Bo
Watson, R-Chattanooga, halfjokingly speculated that Texas
could secede given its recent
economic growth.

‘Death Wish’
director,
Winner, dies
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — British
film director Michael Winner,
whose vigilante thriller “Death
Wish” painted a grim portrait
of crime-plagued, 1970s New
York, has died. He was 77.
Winner’s wife, Geraldine,
said he died Monday at his
London home after an illness,
the Associated Press reported.
“Death
Wish” was
a careermaking hit
for Winner
and its star,
Charles
Bronson,
who played
Michael
Paul Kersey,
Winner
a New York
businessman set on avenging
the murder of his wife and rape
of his daughter by a group of
thugs.
Upon its release in 1974,
many critics blasted “Death
Wish” for its brutality. The
New York Times’ Vincent
Canby said the movie “seems to
have been made for no reason
except to exploit its audience’s
urban paranoia and vestigial
fascination with violence for
its own sake.”
But “Death Wish” became a
surprise hit, earning $22 million
at the box office and spawning
four increasingly grisly sequels
over the next 20 years, two of
which Winner directed.
Born in London in 1935,
Winner specialized in grungy action movies like “Death
Wish,” including the original,
1972 version of “The Mechanic,” which also starred Bronson,
this time as an aging hitman,
and 1973’s “Scorpio,” in which
Burt Lancaster played a retiring assassin.

Lightfoot said the College
Knowledge programs are one
way PEF is trying to reach out
more to community members and parents. And while
other resources are offered
in schools and communities
to help prepare college-bound
students, Lightfoot said,
“There can never be enough
resources to help students on
the road to college.”
But the meetings won’t just
address the concerns of those
headed to four-year colleges
or universities. Even those
interested in two-year, vocational or certificate programs
will take something away.
“This is about life beyond
high school, the tools that
you need to get some kind
of post-secondary training or
learning,” Lightfoot said.
Families will walk away
with better understanding of
the complex world of higher education finances. And

to ensure the safety of
highway workers, but the
reality is that construction zones can be more
dangerous for drivers.
Doughty said barriers
help protect the workers,
and most construction
equipment is larger and
heavier than cars and
often fares better than
cars in collisions.
CHEROKEE, N.C.
Landslide cost
estimate coming
Federal highway officials may have both a
cost estimate and a repair
timeline this week for the
section of U.S. Highway
441 here destroyed in a
landslide.
The Asheville CitizenTimes reported engineers
with the Federal Highway
Administration continued their assessment
Sunday of the highway,
which goes through the
Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. As the link
between Cherokee, N.C.,
and Gatlinburg, Tenn., it
carries more than 2 million visitors annually.
Charles Sellars of the
National Park Service
said engineers may be
done this week.
Officials estimated
90,000 cubic yards of
mud, rock and trees slid
down a steep slope during the Wednesday morning landslide.
MONTGOMERY, ALA.
State property
database eyed
An Alabama state lawmaker has pre-filed legislation that would require
the state auditor to keep
a searchable public database listing any piece of
personal property owned
by the state and valued at
$500 or more.
Homewood Republican
Rep. Paul Demarco said
Monday that he is sponsoring the legislation in
an attempt to bring more
transparency and accountability to government.
The public would be
able to search by department or agency name, the
county where the property is located, a description of the property and
the date it was entered
into inventory.

Liquor vote
March 14
Sevier County election
officials have set a revote
on liquor by the drink in
Pigeon Forge for March 14.
After the Nov. 6 election, it appeared voters
in the city had narrowly
approved a proposal to
allow restaurants to sell
alcohol, but a Sevier
County judge ruled last
week a new election was
required after it was discovered that about 300
ineligible voters cast ballots.

Summerville voters to decide on liquor
By Tim Omarzu
Staff Writer
Summerville, Ga., City
Councilman Dale Housch
doesn’t think restaurantgoers ever have been able
to buy a cocktail with their
meal in Chattooga County. At
least not during his lifetime.
“To my knowledge, it’s
never been legal,” Housch,
66, said. “But I’m still a young
man.”
If Housch is right that
liquor by the drink has never
been allowed in the county,
then history could be made
March 19.
That’s the date that the
Summerville City Council
unanimously picked to put
liquor by the drink before
voters in Summerville, the
county seat.
“We made the motion to
put it before the people and

liquor by the drink.
let them decide,” Housch
said. “We’re looking at different avenues for revenue, and
somebody suggested it.”
Summerville doesn’t levy
property tax on its residents.
The city’s main source of
revenue is the sale of water
and natural gas.
If the liquor-by-the-glass
measure passes, the city
would get some money
from sales tax on drinks and
from selling liquor permits,
Housch said.
Liberalization of liquor
sales also could make Summerville a more desirable
location for a new restaurant,
according to Housch. Some
chain restaurants won’t open
where liquor sales are forbidden.
“We’re just trying to look
ahead, just in case that might
be holding somebody back
from wanting to move in,”
he said.
The sale of beer and wine
by the glass — but not distilled spirits — was legalized
only about three years ago
in Summerville, he said. At
least two restaurants in town
now offer beer and wine.
Outside Summerville,
there’s no sale of any alcoholic beverage by the glass
in Chattooga County, Housch
said, though the city of Lyerly
allows package sales.
Former Summerville City
Councilman Jimmy Bryant
hopes the city’s voters reject
liquor by the glass March 19.
“We have so many deaths
from drunk driving,” said
Bryant, a retired Baptist minister. “We ask for people not
to drink and drive. Then we
have a restaurant sell alcohol
to people who are going to
drive. To me, that’s just asinine.”
Neither man wanted to lay
odds on the likelihood of voters approving the measure.
March 19 is a statewide
election date. It’s also when
Chattooga County’s voters
will decide whether or not
to renew a special purpose
location option sales tax of
1 cent per $1 to fund a list
of projects. That project list
still is being drafted.

King honored across nation
Commemorations include invitations
to watch Obama’s inauguration on TV
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Commemorative
events for the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. slid seamlessly into celebrations of the swearing-in Monday of
the nation’s first black president,
with many Americans moved by the
reminder of how far the country has
come since the 1960s.
“This is the dream that Dr. King
talked about in his speech. We see history in the making,” said Joyce Oliver,
who observed King Day by visiting
the National Civil Rights Museum
in Memphis, built on the site of the
old Lorraine Motel, where King was
assassinated in 1968.
In Atlanta, at the 45th annual service for the civil rights leader at the
church where he was pastor, those
gathered in the sanctuary were invited to stay to watch President Barack
Obama’s second inauguration on a
big-screen TV.

CLEVELAND, Tenn.
— Cleveland has elected to
opt out of its current garbage disposal contract and
put the service up for bid.
The Cleveland City
Council voted 5-2 last week
to end a 10-year agreement
with Waste Connections.
The contract allows for an
opt-out option at the end
of the fifth year of service,
which will occur Dec. 31.
Santek, the waste service
company that manages the
Bradley County Landfill,
requested a chance to bid
on the disposal contract
in a meeting with the City
Council last month.
The issue divided the
council, with the possible
savings resulting from the
competitive bidding process pitted against Waste
Connections’ service and
pricing history.
“If we put it out for bid,
we might save money, but
it’s a gamble,” said Councilman Bill Estes, who voted
against the measure along
with Vice Mayor Avery
Johnson.
Estes and Johnson cited
residents’ satisfaction with
Waste Connections’ service
and the company’s rates.
Several councilmen said
they had received well over
100 calls from residents
about the matter, with an
overwhelming number
stating their satisfaction
with Waste Connections.
Councilmen George Poe
and Richard Banks also
said that when asked,
many of their callers told
them that they would be
agreeable to switching to
a competitor if they could
receive equal or better services at a better price.
“With a contract this
size, I think we owe it to
As the nearly three-hour service
came to a close at Ebenezer Baptist
Church, organizers suggested forgoing the traditional singing of “We
Shall Overcome” because the inauguration was about to begin. But the
crowd shouted protests, so the choir
and congregation sang the civil rights
anthem before settling in to watch the
events in Washington.
In the nation’s capital, several dozen
people took turns taking pictures of
the King statue before heading to the
National Mall, about a 15-minute walk
away, for the inauguration.
At the Atlanta service, King’s
youngest daughter, Bernice King, said
the country had been through a difficult year, with divisive elections, military conflicts and natural disasters.
“We pray that this day will be the
beginning of a new day in America,”
she said. “It will be a day when people

DAYTON, Tenn. — Bryan College’s
annual student community service day, traditionally held on Martin Luther King Day, is
changing its focus and its name and moving
to April, school officials said.
“We wanted to observe MLK Day in other
ways,” said Ben Norquist, the school’s director of faith and mission.
College President Stephen D. Livesay
initiated the day in 2005, and for the last
seven years students volunteered in the surrounding community to help with projects
at elderly residents’ homes and at churches
and nonprofit organizations.
Livesay said officials changed the name to
the All-College Service Day after reviewing
upcoming spring semester classes. Starting
this year, Norquist said, the service projects
“will complement” the students’ academic
skills and their emerging expertise.
Other concerns for school officials included January’s unpredictable weather and the
closings of businesses and organizations in
observance of the holiday.
Livesay said officials didn’t want the service work to burden people coming in for
the students because “many of the people
whom we served are not open for business
that day.”
He said the rainy weather and freezing
temperatures in January 2011 made it “very
difficult for staff and students to work outside.”
This year’s All-College Service Day is
scheduled for April 9.
Matt Benson, vice president for spiritual
formation, said the changes in the service
program will give students “a vision in that
field for the rest of their lives,” along with
an increased awareness of job functions as
they observe business operations.
Livesay said he hoped the changes
wouldn’t create misconceptions in the community, but that they would give faculty
members “more ownership and personal
interest” in their department’s selection of
service projects.

A Sunday night shooting on Rossville Boulevard
marked the seventh of the
year for the city and the
second on the street in
about a week.
Chattanooga police
identified the three people
wounded in the 3700 block
of Rossville Boulevard as
Christopher Penn, 21; Dayontae Menifee, 24; and Amy
West, 19.
All were shot when a
gunman opened fire and
fled in a white Ford Crown
Victoria. It’s possible the
shooting involved more suspects, police said.
Witnesses said about
10 to 15 shots were fired.
All three victims suffered
nonlife-threatening injuries, Master Patrol Officer
Nathan Hartwig said.
Penn and Menifee have
previous arrests for robbery. Menifee also has a
prior drug arrest.
About a week ago,
another man was shot and
wounded on Rossville Boulevard, in the 4500 block.
Stephen Underwood, 29,
told police he was shot over
a drug-related argument.
He suffered minor injuries.
The suspect was last seen
fleeing in a light blue Ford
F-150.
At this time last year,
there had been 10 shootings
citywide.
Rossville Boulevard was
the scene of one shooting
last year. On Jan. 22, 2012,
David Patton, who was 29
at the time, was shot in the
arm. His girlfriend, Kurria
Rogers, 36, was arrested in
connection with the shooting at 2727 Rossville Blvd.
He was treated at Erlanger.
Her next court date is set
for March 7 before Hamilton County Criminal Court
Judge Don Poole.
Anyone with any information about Sunday’s
shootings is asked to call
Chattanooga police at 423698-2525.

NA S H V I L L E — I f
Republican state Rep. Joe
Carr wanted national publicity for his bill calling for
the jailing of federal agents
attempting to enforce wouldbe restrictions on semi-automatic weapons, the Lacassas,
Tenn., lawmaker was in the
right place Friday.
Carr and MSNBC’s the
Rev. Al Sharpton squared off
in a nearly nine-minute-long
verbal slugfest on Sharpton’s
cable show.
The topics? Carr’s bill, Second Amendment gun rights,
state sovereignty, hand grenades, nuclear bombs tucked
under a bed, slavery and the
civil rights struggle.
For Carr, who is weighing
a 2014 congressional bid, it
provided a forum that could
prove popular to largely rural
and conservative 4th Congressional District voters.
Sharpton kicked off the
segment saying Republicans
in at least six states, including Tennessee, “are resorting
to an old argument to fight
a new battle, crying states’
rights as they attack President Obama on gun control.”
“Now let me ask you,” he
said to Carr, “do you really
think your state bill will
trump federal law?”
Carr said part of his point
is “trying to illustrate here
that the federal government
systematically over the years
has been on a full assault of

the Second Amendment.”
“And when you assault
the Second Amendment,”
he told the liberal host, “you
just don’t assault the Second
Amendment, you assault
the entire Bill of Rights, and
that’s the line we’re trying
to draw here — for years the
Bill of Rights has been under
attack by the federal government.”
Sharpton said Obama is
not talking about traditional
firearms but “magazines that
shoot a hundred rounds, he’s
talking about assault weapons. The Second Amendment doesn’t give you that
right.”
Quoting the Second
Amendment, Carr said, “The
right of the people to bear
arms shall not be infringed,
Rev. Sharpton.”
That prompted a debate
with Carr saying the Second Amendment came in
response to the “tyranny” of
King George III, while Sharpton questioned what weapons would be covered under
Carr’s interpretation.
“Why can’t I have a hand
grenade; why can’t I have
GOP

Others lauded the pomp
and circumstance. Newly
elected state Sen. Todd Gardenhire, an East Brainerd
Republican who campaigned
as a fiscal conservative, said,
“It does not bother me about
the amount of money they
spent on the inauguration.
“Obama’s our president,”
he said, “and the world needs
to see that we have a respect
for the office.”
The Pachyderm Club,
which usually meets on
Mondays, took days off to
observe Christmas Eve and
New Year’s Eve. The club
did not do the same thing for
Inauguration Day and M.L.
King Day, both Monday.
“It’s a time of year that a
lot’s going on,” club President
rockets?” Sharpton asked. “I
mean, if you’re going to say
arms, then anyone can define
what that means, then why
can’t I have whatever I want
— a nuclear weapon under
my bed?”
They also sparred over the
U.S. Constitution with Sharpton alluding to the Supremacy Clause, which says the
Constitution and federal laws
are “the supreme law of the
land,” and Carr citing the 10th
Amendment, which reserves
to states powers not delegated to the federal government
by the Constitution.
Off-camera, the debate
is in full swing back home
and elsewhere, with critics
calling Carr’s bill unconstitutional while the head of the
Tennessee Firearms Association, John Harris, is telling
members to write their local
sheriffs.
Harris said in an email
they should urge sheriffs
“not to enforce or allow the
enforcement of laws within
their jurisdiction that are
in violation of the constitutional and civil rights of the
citizens.” Calling state lawmakers would be helpful, too,
he noted.
While Carr’s proposal
making it a misdemeanor
for federal agents to enforce
any would-be ban on sales
of semi-automatic weapons
may sound comforting to
some gun owners, state Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle,
D-Memphis, said it’s unconstitutional.
Joe Manuel said. “Folks are
back in the swing of things.
That’s why we’re meeting.”
Pachyderm officials never
mentioned Alexander’s role
alongside Obama.
Given a speaking slot
because he serves on the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Inaugural Ceremonies, the
former Tennessee governor
and two-time presidential candidate recalled the words of a
Mount Vernon tour guide who
told him what George Washington considered the “most
important of this grand experiment, the United States.”
“Not the election of the
first president, but the election
of its second president,” said
Alexander, quoting Washington. “The peaceful transition
of power is what will separate
this country from every other
country in the world.”
Contact staff writer Chris
Carroll at ccarroll@times
freepress.com or 423-757-6610.
“If it was constitutional
to do that, then Mississippi,
Alabama and Arkansas would
have passed legislation to
prohibit federal troops from
enforcing desegregation”
in the 1950s and 1960s, said
Kyle, an attorney.
Carr has charged Obama’s
proposals to ban semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity
gun ammunition clips represent a “systematic effort to
disarm the law-abiding citizens of the United States.”
It won’t stop repeats of
the December massacre at
Connecticut’s Sandy Hook
Elementary School that
left 20 first-graders and six
teachers and school personnel dead, Carr said. What’s
needed, he argued, are armed
school guards.
Last week, Jeffrey Fisher, a
Stanford University law professor and former Supreme
Court law clerk, told The
Huffington Post a similar
proposal from Wyoming legislators is questionable under
the Constitution.
“It is elementary that a
state cannot pass a statute
that blocks enforcement of
an otherwise enforceable
federal law,” Fisher told the
news website.
Daniel Feller is a University of Tennessee historian
who directs the university’s
the Papers of Andrew Jackson project.
He recalled the Tennessee
president’s fight 180 years
ago over tariffs on imported
goods. Like most Southern-
ers, Jackson was no fan of
tariffs. But he was angered
by South Carolina’s claim
that states could “nullify”
federal laws they disliked.
South Carolina declared the
tariffs “null and void,” the
theory being it would bar
federal officials from collecting them.
Fe l l e r s a i d Ja c k s o n
appealed to South Carolinians, telling them, “You’re not
just South Carolinians; you’re
Americans,” and calling it
wrong to consider national
legislation merely from a
state or local interest.
Feller said that as a historian, he generally prefers
not to put himself in the
position of political commentator but rather “as a
nonpolitical dispenser of
political truth.”
Still, he noted, “there are
all sorts of ways that a bill
like Rep. Carr is proposing
could actually pass — whether it should pass is an entirely
other matter — and not lead
to any confrontation.”
That would require an
attempt to enforce it that
would result in a court case
and “someone would have
to rule on that. Both sides
would really have to want to
pursue it.
“Now if they did pursue
it,” Feller said, “I think there’s
absolutely no doubt that this
law loses and the federal government wins.”

Grace Frank provides proven results
with real estate listings
or real estate broker Grace
Frank, creating successful
listings is a science and one
of her strongest assets as a real
estate professional.
“I approach listings very differently than most agents,” she said. “I
approach each one as a campaign
where I’m the campaign manager.”
An accomplished real estate professional with an MBA in marketing, she has a unique process for
each listing that helped her personally achieve more than $20 million
in real estate transactions in 2012
alone.
“I take every property as its own
unique property to maximize its
ability to capture the right buyer,”
she said.
Before taking on a listing, Frank
said she evaluates the property
and makes sure it’s a good fit for
her business. She then develops an
individual listing strategy that she
directs to a target audience. Frank
said one of the key aspects of her
listings is commissioning professional photographs for each property that highlight its best elements.
Instead of taking them herself, she
hires a professional to make sure
they are the best quality possible.
“A picture is worth a thousand
words,” she said. “Having pictures
that actually showcase the property, that’s two-thirds of the battle
right there.”
Frank also employs a professional writer to create custom wording
for the listing and uses a variety of
technological platforms to present
the listing to the public.

ers are on the Internet looking for
property,” she said.
To help maintain her online brand
representation and sell more of her
listings, Frank recently overhauled
all of the Grace Frank Group’s web-
sites. She said the new changes
make them easier for people to access from a search engine and have
improved their readability thanks
to a new blog roll format.
In addition to the websites, she
also includes a QR code on all her
listing fliers so people can easily
access a virtual tour of the property.
“I always try to stay abreast of
the latest technology to put my
properties in front of as many eyes
in as many mediums as possible,”
she said.
Frank said her team also makes
sure to manage the listings weekly and regularly tweaks strategies
that aren’t working as well as they
could be. “I’m very passionate
about what I do and I think I’m
very good at it,” she said. “I really
enjoy the challenge of figuring
out how to make something work
that hasn’t been working.”
For Frank, assisting people buy
and sell houses is more than just
a business. Frank said she is intensely passionate about helping
people make and capitalize on
what will likely be the most important investment of their lives.
From first time homebuyers to
those looking to invest in real estate property, Frank said she and
her company can help.
Aside from listings, the Grace
Frank Group’s other areas of expertise include green building, luxury
living and investment properties.
Frank is also involved in nonprofit
work with Habitat for Humanity
and Girls Inc. of Chattanooga.

bid,” Banks said.
“I just think it’s a shame
that the council can’t take
into consideration what
the residents have told you
themselves — how happy
they are with the service,”
said Doug McGill, marketing manager for Waste
Connections.
Wa s t e C o n n e c t i o n s
actively has sought to
secure the five-year extension of the garbage service
agreement, both in pricing
and public awareness.
In November, McGill
said Waste Connections
would forego a Consumer
Price Index increase if the
city would take the fiveyear extension. The measure, which would have
taken effect Jan. 1, would
save Cleveland $35,000
annually over the next six
years, or $210,000 cumulatively.
More recently, the company notified its Cleveland
customers of the situation
and asked them to contact
the City Council to provide
feedback about Waste Connections’ service.
A letter from Bradley
County Commission Chairman Louie Alford “sent on
my behalf and other commissioners” requested that
the City Council conduct a
competitive bid for waste
services. Alford urged them
to consider that the Bradley County Landfill could
earn another $60,000 to
$70,000 annually if Cleveland waste is disposed
there. Waste Connections
now takes Cleveland garbage to McMinn County.
Going forward, Cleveland should offer a 10-year
agreement as part of the
upcoming waste service
bidding process, City Manager Janice Casteel recommended. A long-term contract would better encourage a service provider’s
investment in personnel and
equipment, she said.

COMMENTARY
Warnings from a flabby mouse
One of the puzzles of
the modern world is why
we humans are growing
so tubby.
M a y b e
these two
mice offer
a clue.
They’re
genetically
the same,
ra i s e d i n

given the
same food and chance to
exercise. Yet the bottom
one is svelte, while the other
looks like, well, an American.
The only difference
is that the top one was
exposed at birth to just one
part per billion of an endocrine-disrupting chemical.
The brief exposure programmed the mouse to put
on fat, and although there
were no significant differences in caloric intake or
expenditure, it continued
to put on flab long after the
chemical was gone.
That experiment is one of
a growing number of peerreviewed scientific studies
suggesting that one factor
in the industrialized world’s
obesity epidemic (along
with Twinkies, soda and
television) may be endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
These chemicals are largely unregulated — they are
in food, couches, machine
receipts and shampoos
— and a raft of new studies
suggest that they can lead to
the formation of more and
larger fat cells.
Endocrine disruptors
are a class of chemicals
that mimic hormones and
■ These latest studies are
one more reason to worry
that endocrine disruptors
may be the tobacco of our
time.
therefore confuse the body.
Initially, they provoked concern because of their links
to cancers and the malformation of sex organs. Those
concerns continue, but the
newest area of research is
the impact that they have
on fat storage.
Bruce Blumberg, a developmental biologist at the University of California, Irvine,
coined the term “obesogen”
in a 2006 journal article to
refer to chemicals that cause
animals to store fat. Initially, this concept was highly
controversial among obesity
experts, but a growing number of peer-reviewed studies
have confirmed his finding
and identified some 20 substances as obesogens.
The role of these chemicals has been acknowledged
by the presidential task force
on childhood obesity, and
the National Institutes of
Health has become a major
funder of research on links
between endocrine disruptors and both obesity and
diabetes.
Among chemicals identified as obesogens are materials in plastics, canned food,
agricultural chemicals, foam
cushions and jet fuel. For
example, a study in the fall
found that triflumizole, a
fungicide used on many food
crops, like leafy vegetables,
causes obesity in mice.
Just this month, a new
study in the journal Envi-
ronmental Health Perspectives found that endocrine
disruptors that are sometimes added to PVC plastic
cause mice to grow obese
and suffer liver problems
— and the effect continues
with descendants of those
mice, generation after generation.
Another study found
that women with a pesticide residue in their blood
bore babies who were more
likely to be overweight at
the age of 14 months.
That’s a common thread:
The most important time
for exposure appears to be
in utero and in childhood.
It’s not clear whether most
obesogens will do much
to make an ordinary adult,
even a pregnant woman, fatter (although one has been
shown to do so), and the
greatest impact seems to be
on fetuses and on children
before puberty.
For all the uncertainty,
these latest studies are one
more reason to worry that
endocrine disruptors may
be the tobacco of our time.
Science-based decisions
to improve public health
— like the removal of lead
from gasoline — have been
among our government’s
most beneficial public policy moves. In this case, a
starting point would be to
boost research of endocrine
disruptors and pass the Safe
Chemicals Act. That measure, long stalled in Congress, would require more
stringent safety testing of
potentially toxic chemicals
around us.
After all, which mouse
would we rather look like?
New York Times News Service
Obama’s big deal
On the day President
Barack Obama signed the
Affordable Care Act into law,
an exubera n t Vi c e
President
Joe Biden
famously pronounced
the reform a
“big something deal”
Paul
— except
Krugman
that he
didn’t use the word “something.” And he was right.
In fact, I’d suggest using
this phrase to describe the
Obama administration as
a whole. FDR had his New
Deal; well, Obama has his
Big Deal. He hasn’t delivered
everything his supporters
wanted. But if progressives
look at where we are as the
second term begins, they’ll
find grounds for a lot of
(qualified) satisfaction.
Consider, in particular,
three areas: health care,
inequality and financial
reform.
Health reform is, as Biden
suggested, the centerpiece of
the Big Deal. Progressives
have been trying to get some
form of universal health
insurance since the days of
Harry Truman; they’ve finally succeeded.
True, this wasn’t the
health reform many were
looking for. Rather than simply providing health insurance to everyone by extending Medicare to cover the
whole population, we’ve
constructed a Rube Goldberg device of regulations
and subsidies that will cost
more than single-payer and
have many more cracks for
people to fall through.
But this was what was
possible given the politi-
■ The Big Deal agenda
is, in fact, fairly popular
— and will become more
popular once Obamacare
goes into effect and people
see both its real benefits
and the fact that it won’t
send Grandma to the
death panels.
cal reality — the power of
the insurance industry, the
general reluctance of voters with good insurance to
accept change. And experience with Romneycare in
Massachusetts — hey, this
is a great age for irony —
shows that such a system is
indeed workable, and it can
provide Americans with a
huge improvement in medical and financial security.
What about inequality?
On that front, sad to say,
the Big Deal falls very far
short of the New Deal. Like
FDR, Obama took office in
a nation marked by huge
disparities in income and
wealth. But where the New
Deal had a revolutionary
impact, empowering workers and creating a middleclass society that lasted for
40 years, the Big Deal has
been limited to equalizing
policies at the margin.
That said, health reform
will provide substantial aid
to the bottom half of the
income distribution, paid
for largely through new
taxes targeted on the top
1 percent, and the “fiscal
cliff ” deal further raises taxes on the affluent.
Overall, 1-percenters will
see their after-tax income
fall around 6 percent; for
the top 10th of a percent,
the hit rises to around 9
percent. This will reverse
only a fraction of the huge
upward redistribution that
has taken place since 1980,
but it’s not trivial.
Finally, there’s financial
reform. The Dodd-Frank
reform bill is often disparaged as toothless, and it’s
certainly not the kind of
dramatic regime change one
might have hoped for after
runaway bankers brought
the world economy to its
knees.
Still, if plutocratic rage is
any indication, the reform
isn’t as toothless as all that.
And Wall Street put its
money where its mouth is.
For example, hedge funds
strongly favored Obama in
2008 — but in 2012 they
gave three-quarters of their
money to Republicans (and
lost).
All in all, then, the Big
Deal has been, well, a pretty
big deal. The Big Deal agenda is, in fact, fairly popular
— and will become more
popular once Obamacare
goes into effect and people
see both its real benefits and
the fact that it won’t send
Grandma to the death panels.
Finally, progressives
have the demographic and
cultural wind at their backs.
Right-wingers flourished for
decades by exploiting racial
and social divisions — but
that strategy has now turned
against them as we become
an increasingly diverse,
socially liberal nation.
Now, none of what I’ve
just said should be taken
as grounds for progressive
complacency. The plutocrats may have lost a round,
but their wealth and the
influence it gives them in a
money-driven political system remain.

Andy was born and raised here

Trio ignoring
those in need
Chris Carroll’s report in Friday’s paper titled “Superstorm
aid ‘no’ votes draw donor criticism” tells a much larger, more
important story about Scott
DesJarlais, Chuck Fleischmann
and Tom Graves. Our fellow
Americans in the New York
area are in extreme, dire need
and were told by these three,
“There is no help for you, and
even though the Constitution
has a general welfare clause, it
doesn’t apply to you.”
There are some things we
do based on our actions being
the right thing to do. The
traditional balance sheet of
“debits and credit” is placed
on the “back burner.” We have
to help those devastated by
events beyond their control.
We have to help them, no matter the cost. It is what we do,
except for Fleischmann and
DesJarlais from Tennessee and
Graves from Georgia.
I can confidently and openly declare that I will never,
ever vote for Chuck Fleischmann the representative from
my district. I only wish I could
vote against both Reps. Scott
DesJarlais of Tennessee and
Georgia’s 9th Congressional
representative Tom Graves.
Fleischmann is a disgrace and
a black eye for the 3rd District
in Tennessee.

Economic woes
result of abortion
My husband and I were
driving in Trenton when we
came upon a church sign that
read the following: “Scalpels
kill more kids than guns.” A
great sadness came over me as
I realized the tragedy of the 20
children killed in Connecticut
and also the tragedy of abortion.
In the U.S. there are 154
abortions per hour, 3,700 abortions a day, 1.3 million in a year,
and since being legalized in
1973, 52 million and counting.
Through the years I have
noted several facts about abortion.
It is evil. Abortion has
decimated two generations in
America since 1973.
We are disappearing as a
nation because of abortion.
By 2040 the majority will be
Hispanic.
Our economic woes are
the result of abortion. We
don’t have enough people to
be productive and fill technical
or menial jobs.
Our religious heritage and
cultural beliefs have been all
but wiped out by the influx of
other nationalities and ethnic
groups that fill the population
void.
Abortion is progressively
cruel, moving from first trimester to killing on demand
to partial birth abortion.
God bless our Children,
born and unborn!

Mitchell gets
things done
I write in support of Jerry
Mitchell’s candidacy for City
Council District 2.
His love for Chattanooga is
infectious, and I have enjoyed
seeing him contribute to this
community in so many ways
as I’ve grown up in this city.
During his tenure at city
Parks and Recreation under
Mayors Kinsey and Corker,
Jerry had a proven track record
of getting things done. His
work involved the community
and reflected its desires. And
made our city a better place.
Now, as a small business
owner, I am excited for Jerry
Mitchell to be on the council
because he will be a strong
advocate for entrepreneurs
and our enterprises. He’s been
there. He understands.
Please vote for Jerry Mitchell for City Council if you live
in District 2.

“Obama exploits tragedy”
is an editorial that ignores
history and distorts facts. Our
president is using an appallingly recurring event while
Americans are focused on it to
try to lessen the possibility of
reliving yet another one. Compare that to results of George
W. Bush exploiting the horrific
attacks on 9/11/01 to stampede
Americans into supporting an
unnecessary war and accepting government intrusions on
their liberties.
This defense of the status
quo with respect to guns is rife
with half truths, unsupported
allegations and false equivalencies. One reason that this
nation is so dangerously polarized is because of the recklessly fabricated and divisive
assertions that writers such

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons who
were willing to talk said all the right things
following their 28-24 NFC championship
game loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
“We did so many good things this year,
we just have to improve on the bad,” defensive end Kroy Biermann said. “We’ll be
back, you can bet on that.”
Said defensive lineman John Abraham,
whose tender ankles no doubt slowed the
Falcons’ pass rush: “This is a tough pill to
swallow ... but I firmly anticipate coming
back next year to give it another run. To get
this far is a major accomplishment. I plan to
keep this going as long as possible.”
Added head coach Mike Smith: “We
played hard and had our chances for this
to be a different outcome. We just didn’t
make enough plays to win the ballgame.”
But is this team in its current state more
a pretender or a contender in trying to
become a Super Bowl champ at the close
of the 2013 season?
It’s nice of tight end Tony Gonzalez to
say, “We had it at the end, we just came
up short,” but can the Falcons seriously
win the title without Gonzalez’s talent and
leadership?
“If I ever did decide to come back, you
know where I’ll be,” he said of the 5 percent
chance he won’t retire after 16 seasons. “I’ll
be right here, an Atlanta Falcon.”
To improve those odds, Gonzalez must
be made to say absolutely no and forced to
turn down a barrel of money along the way.
Sign him to whatever figure is necessary
for one season. Promise him a paid trip to
California during next year’s off week to
After suffering a 74-66
home loss to Kansas last
month, Ohio State basketball coach Thad Matta
praised the Jayhawks thusly:
“Just the leadership
they have — I haven’t had
four seniors in about eight
years. And [redshirt freshman] Ben McLemore is
as good as anybody in the
country.”
As the college basketball season slips past its
halfway point this week,
Matta’s analysis may sum
up No. 3 Kansas as well as
anybody could in 25 words
or less.
With four senior starters to help guide the outrageously talented McLemore
through the rough spots,
KU coach Bill Self not only
has the experience to reach
the Final Four for a second
straight season but also
is riding a 15-game winning streak heading into
tonight’s game at Kansas
State.
“This team has to learn
how to win ugly games
and be tough,” said Self,
who never seems satisfied
despite averaging 30 wins a
season, earning one national championship (2008)
and playing for another
(last season) in his nine full
seasons at KU.
“That’s what made last
year’s team so good.”
The high-flying
McLemore and his 16.4
scoring average have certainly been a nice addition
to this year’s team, but
it’s those seniors — point
guard Elijah Johnson, wing
Travis Releford, crafty forward Kevin Young and
7-foot center Jeff Withey
— who provide the 16-1 Jayhawks’ heart and soul.
“With that age and experience, they think they’re
supposed to win,” said
University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga coach John
Shulman, who remains the
only coach to lead KU by
as many as 12 points in the
second half this season,
though his Mocs ultimately
lost by 14 (69-55) inside the
Jayhawks’ historic Allen
Fieldhouse.
“They’ve got speed, they
can shoot, defend and their
guards can be aggressive
on the perimeter because
Withey (4.6 blocks a game)
is going to block or bother anything that comes
inside.”

Ridgeland High School’s Vonn Bell helped the Panthers get to the Georgia AAAA state final
last month and has moved up to a five-star rating. Tennessee coaches visited him Monday.
Vols in force
Jones, defensive staff visit Ridgeland’s Bell
By Stephen Hargis
Staff Writer
Knowing there is a lot of ground to
make up in a short amount of time, new
University of Tennessee football coach
Butch Jones found an unusual way to
make a big impression on Ridgeland High
School’s All-America safety Vonn Bell.
On the day of his only in-home visit,
Jones brought his entire defensive staff to
meet with Bell and his family Monday.
“It was a great visit with all the defensive staff and Coach Jones when they all
came to my house,” Bell said in a text late
Monday night. “Coach Jones approached
everything very good with my parents and
me, and we’re just fired up about the visit
this weekend.”
On the day that Rivals.com officially
elevated Bell to a five-star rating, its highest level for a prospect, the Vols contingent met with him and his parents for
nearly four hours.
Since Rivals began its five-star rating
system in 2002, Bell is only the third area

Gators running away in SEC
By David Paschall
Staff Writer
Defeating Florida has been
futile for Southeastern Conference teams so far in men’s basketball.
Coming within 20 points
might be a more reasonable
goal.
Billy Donovan’s veteran
Gators have shot out of the
league gate by routing Georgia
77-44, LSU 74-52, Texas A&M
68-47 and Missouri 83-52. They
led each of their last two games
by 17 points at halftime.
“Any time you go into a
league game, you’re always
prepared for it to go all the
way down to the end, because
that’s generally what happens,”
Donovan said Monday. “There

we’ve gone into the locker room

nine, and we’ve been able to
play well in the second half.
“Am I surprised by it? Before
the game starts, you probably
are, because you’re preparing
for a 40-minute, all-the-waythrough battle to come down
to the last couple of possessions, but we’ve been able to
build some leads to where that
hasn’t happened.”
The Gators are 14-2 overall,
and all the victories have been
by 13 or more points. Georgia
gets a second crack Wednesday
night when the eighth-ranked
Gators visit Stegeman Coli-
seum.
“They’re arguably one of the
top two or three teams in the
country right now,” Bulldogs
coach Mark Fox said. “They
have an outstanding defensive
team that is really committed
to defending, and they have a
very balanced and very potent
offensive group as well. When
you combine those two things,
they have a team that arguably
will compete for the national
championship.”
Florida, which ranks second
nationally in margin of victory
(22.1 points per game) and third
in scoring defense (51.7), has
four players averaging double
digits in scoring. Guard Kenny

NFL excitement
brings thoughts
The NFL playoffs have been outstanding. As the other professional sports deal
with distractions and turmoil and controversy, the NFL has reminded us of why
it’s the best pro option around.
The product is far superior. Period.
The NFL has not been without drama
and issue this year, lest
we forget the BountyGate
stuff, player safety, the
officiating and the changes to the rules that now
make defending a talented
quarterback as difficult as
playing quarterback.
But the NFL is king

So as we prepare for the Harbaugh-onHarbaugh Super Bowl XLVII, here are the
five takeaways from the weekend after

Stewart has Indy option
third at Charlotte in 2001.
He hasn’t tried Indianapolis since.
“Indy car racing has progressed and the competition
has gotten tighter and tighter there,” he said. “I feel like
(Penske’s) the perfect team
to go and do the month of
May with, but I still feel like
for me as a driver, I would
need to start the year with
that team and run through
the month of May with that
team to really feel like the
first day of practice I was
competitive.”
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.C. —
Tony Stewart believes he
has an open-ended offer
from Roger Penske to run
the Indianapolis 500.
The three-time NASCAR
champion turned down Penske’s offer in December to
drive one of his cars at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but
Stewart revealed Monday
that he later told “The Captain” he’d like to revisit the
offer down the road.
“It’s a very flattering
offer. I went back to Roger
and actually had dinner
with him in Indianapolis
and told him he not necessarily backed me in a corner,
but he made me a generous
offer,” Stewart said. “I made
him a counteroffer that it’s
an open-ended invitation.
So even though we haven’t
accepted this year, maybe
some year down the road we
may be able to accept it. He
never said no, so as far as I’m
concerned we have an open
invitation.”
Penske, a 15-time winner
as a car owner of the Indy
500, first made his offer
while accepting the 2012
Sprint Cup trophy and lauding Stewart, the 2011 champion.
“I know we took your
spot this year,” Penske said.
“But you’re a car owner,
you’re a race driver, you’re a
track promoter — how about
doing the double at Indy this
year? Are you available?”
Penske later insisted he
was serious about wanting
Stewart, an Indiana native
and former IndyCar series
champion, to drive for him
in the 500.
Stewart, who grew up
dreaming of winning the
Mobil 1 link extended
The Associated Press/Autostock, Brian Czobat
NASCAR driver/owner Tony Stewart turned down
Roger Penske’s offer to drive for Penske in this year’s
Indianapolis 500 but hopes the invitation holds for the
future.
Indy 500, was silent about
Penske’s offer for several
days. Then he turned Penske down.
He said Monday his role
as co-owner of Stewart-Haas
Racing and his responsibilities as a NASCAR driver and
owner of several race teams
and tracks left him unable
to run the Indy 500. And he
said he wasn’t certain he’d
be competitive.
Stewart ran the 500 five
times and finished a careerbest fifth in 1997. He twice
attempted to run both the
Indy 500 and NASCAR’s
Coca-Cola 600 on the same
day: In 1999, he was ninth at
Indy and fourth at Charlotte,
and he was sixth at Indy and
At Charlotte, N.C., ExxonMobil announced Monday a
contract extension keeping
Mobil 1 the “Official Motor
Oil of NASCAR” through
2017.
Mobil 1 is entering its 11th
year as an official NASCAR
partner, having replaced
Unocal 76 as the sport’s
official lubricant. Mobil 1
now will be a contingency
partner across all NASCAR
national and touring series,
the presenting sponsor of

Li back in semifinals
By John Pye
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
Li Na hits a forehand return to
Agnieszka Radwanska during their
quarterfinal match at the Australian
Open. Li won 7-5, 6-3.
MELBOURNE, Australia — Li Na
advanced to the Australian Open semifinals for the third time in four years,
bringing fourth-seeded Agnieszka
Radwanska’s 13-match winning streak
to a shuddering halt.
Sixth-seeded Li, who lost the 2011
Australian Open final to Kim Clijsters
only months before her Grand Slam
breakthrough at the French Open, had
a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Radwanska in
today’s first match at Rod Laver Arena.
“She’s a tough player. I was feeling
today against a wall,” Li said. “She can
hit everywhere, but without a mistake.
I was feeling just very tough. You have
to focus on every shot. Not every point,
every shot.”
Radwanska came into the Australian Open with titles this season at
Auckland and Sydney, where she beat
Li in the semifinals, but continued her
poor conversion rate in Grand Slam
quarterfinals.
Sixth-seeded Li will play the winner
of today’s later all-Russian quarterfinal
between No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova, who conceded only five games in
her first four matches at Melbourne
Park, and Ekaterina Makarova.
“At least now I’m in the semis,” Li
said. Sharapova “has to play, so ... Right?
Now I can start now to enjoy my day.
She has to fight, yeah. So that’s better.”
The quarterfinals on the other
half of the draw will feature American teenager Sloane Stephens against
Serena Williams, who is aiming for
a third consecutive major title, and
defending champion Victoria Azarenka against two-time major winner
Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Williams and defending champion
Victoria Azarenka advanced Monday,
losing just four games between them
against Russian rivals. Williams beat
No. 14 Maria Kirilenko 6-2, 6-0; Azarenka defeated Elena Vesnina 6-1, 6-1.
On the men’s side, No. 2 Roger
Federer and U.S. Open champion Andy
Murray stayed on course for a semifinal in their half of the draw.
Federer won 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 over bigserving Canadian Milos Raonic, advancing to the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam
for the 35th consecutive time, and Murray took advantage of Gilles Simon’s
fatigue for a 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 victory.

Kings purchase by Seattle group in NBA hands
The Sacramento Kings,
one of the NBA’s most troubled and well-traveled franchises, may be on the move
again. The Maloof family
has agreed to sell a controlling stake in the Kings
to an investment group led
by Christopher Hansen,
a hedge fund manager who
intends to move the team
to Seattle by next season
and rechristen them as the
SuperSonics. The sale and
relocation must be ratified
by the NBA Board of Governors, a process that could
take several weeks, while
the league’s advisory and
finance committee evaluates the deal. Although the
board will meet next month
during the All-Star break
in Houston, a vote on the
Kings sale will probably not
come until April. The Hansen group will purchase 65
percent of the team, which
includes the Maloofs’ share.
The remaining 35 percent
is held by minority shareholders. Assuming an enterprise value of $525 million,
the 65 percent stake would
cost about $340 million, said
people informed of the deal.
It is unclear whether this
amount includes the Sleep
Train Arena in Sacramento
or the moneyneeded to pay
off the Maloofs’ loans from
the city of Sacramento and
the NBA. The Board of Governors would also need to
set a relocation fee, which
can be any number they
choose. The Hansen group
has until March 1 to apply
for relocation for the 2013-14
season. It is expected to file
the necessary paperwork by
then.
■ ATLANTA — The
Atlanta Hawks signed guard
Jannero Pargo to a 10-day
contract before facing the
Minnesota Timberwolves
on Monday. Injuries have
depleted Atlanta’s roster at
guard with Lou Williams
out for the season and
Devin Harris sidelined by
a sprained left ankle. Pargo,
a journeyman in his ninth
NBA season, most recently
played seven games for the
Washington Wizards. In
50 games with Atlanta last
season, Pargo averaged 5.6
points and 1.9 assists.
■ CLEVELAND — Cavaliers center Anderson
Varejao will miss the rest
of the season after developing a blood clot in his
lower right lung. Varejao,
who underwent surgery on
a torn leg muscle on Jan.
10, remains hospitalized at
The Cleveland Clinic. The
Cavs said he was admitted last Thursday and
likely will remain there for
several more days as he
receives treatment. Varejao
is expected to make a full
recovery but will remain on
blood thinning medication
for at least three months.
BASEBALL
■ NEW YORK — Lefthanded pitcher Pedro Feliciano is returning to the
New York Mets, who also
settled their salary arbitration case with first baseman
Ike Davis. Feliciano agreed
to a minor league contract
after two injury-plagued
seasons across town with
the Yankees. The 36-year-old
never pitched in a game for
the Yankees after signing an
$8 million contract. Eligible
for arbitration for the first
time, Davis gets $3,125,000,
six times the $506,690 he
earned last year when he
hit .227 with 32 homers and
90 RBIs. Second baseman
Daniel Murphy is the only
Mets player remaining in
arbitration.
■ ARLINGTON, Texas
— Outfielder David Murphy and the Texas Rangers agreed Monday to a
one-year contract worth
$5,775,000. The deal came
three days after Murphy and
the team exchanged salary
arbitration figures. They
agreed in the middle after
Murphy sought $6.5 million
and the team offered $5.05
million. Texas previously
agreed to deals with lefthander Matt Harrison and
right-hander Neftali Feliz,
their only other arbitrationeligible players.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
■ STATE COLLEGE,
Pa. — Penn State has
removed the “acting” designation from the title of athletic director Dave Joyner.
The school on Monday
also formally announced
that Joyner would stay on
until the end of president
Rodney Erickson’s term
in 2014. Both Erickson and
Joyner assumed their posts
as part of the fallout in the
opening weeks of the childmolestation scandal involving former assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky in
November 2011.
■ COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Ohio State basketball coach
Thad Matta has agreed to a
revised contract that will give
him a 10 percent increase to
more than $3.2 million annually and includes academic
bonuses and more stringent
wording about NCAA violations. With years he already
had earned through job performance, the five-time Big
Ten champion coach will be
under contract through July
2019.

Cal’s young Cats show improvement
By Gary Graves
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
Kyle Wiltjer works against Auburn’s Allen
Payne during Kentucky’s 22-point win
Saturday. Wiltjer led the Wildcats with 17.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Now
that John Calipari’s young Kentucky basketball squad has
shown it’s capable of playing
with the intensity and teamwork
needed to dominate a conference opponent, the Wildcats
coach would like his team to do
it consistently.
Kentucky (12-5, 3-1) is looking for its third consecutive
win in tonight’s Southeastern
Conference game at Alabama.
The Crimson Tide (11-6, 3-1) are
shooting a league-best 46 percent on 3-pointers in SEC games
with a four-guard lineup that
plays physically.
The Wildcats are still learning how to play that way, but
Saturday’s 75-53 rout at Auburn
shows their improvement. Kentucky shut down the cold-shooting Tigers in the second half. The
Wildcats pushed Auburn around
on the boards, increased their
defensive pressure and turned
a five-point halftime lead into
a blowout.
“I’m trying to convince them
that the wins and losses, they
come and go,” Calipari said
Monday. “You’re not going to be
judged just by that. You’re going
to be judged by your effort,
your fight, your scrappiness. ...
Believe me, 20 years from now
they’re going to say, ‘Are you a
competitor or not? Were you a
battler ... played hard, made great
decisions?’
“That’s how you define yourself. I’m trying to get them more
on process and less on results,
because we’re so young.”
Encouraging signs emerged
in the second half of Kentucky’s
75-65 win over Tennessee last
Tuesday, when the Wildcats
held the Volunteers to 38 percent shooting. But Calipari said
the absence of 7-foot freshman
forward Willie Cauley-Stein at
Auburn following a “minor procedure” on his left knee might
have ignited the other Cats’ second-half performance against
the Tigers.
“This team, I hope learned
some stuff, and I think Willie
being out put a sense of urgency in the team. That sometimes
happens,” Calipari said.
In the final 20 minutes against
Auburn, the Wildcats shot
67 percent, outrebounded the
Tigers 19-11 and them to 12-of-32
shooting (38 percent).
Kyle Wiltjer’s 17 points led
five players in double figures for
Kentucky, which has won both of
its SEC road games. And despite
foul trouble, Wildcats freshman
forward Nerlens Noel had 10
points, nine rebounds and seven
blocks. That followed his 12point, nine-rebound, six-block,
four-steal performance against
Tennessee and earned him the
Florida
Paterno
backers
set vigil
• Continued from Page C1
By Genaro C. Armas
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
— From bumper stickers to
signs posted by a few businesses to the occasional Tshirt, reminders of Joe Paterno sprinkle Happy Valley.
Most cues are subtle
enough to make an outsider
look twice. Like the decals
with the outline of the
bespectacled Paterno’s distinctive face, or the shirt with
the image of the longtime
Penn State coach’s trademark
look of rolled-up khakis and
sneakers.
A year after his death,
Paterno and a reputation
tarnished in the aftermath of
the child-sex-abuse scandal
involving retired assistant
coach Jerry Sandusky remain
sensitive topics for groups
of alumni, former players,
staffers and community residents.
The Hall of Fame coach
died of lung cancer on Jan.
22, 2012, at age 85. Today
— exactly a year after his
pa ss i n g — co m m u n i ty
residents have organized a
vigil at a downtown mural
that includes a depiction of
Paterno.
A family spokesman has
said the Paternos would
not take part and remain
in privacy. Their supporters, though, spoke up at a
recent meeting of the university’s board of trustees.
Most critics are angered by
how school leaders handled
Paterno’s ouster as coach
and the explosive findings
of the internal investigation
led by former FBI director
Louis Freeh that put part of
the blame on Paterno.
Others say the school
hasn’t done enough to
honor a 46-year career in
which Paterno was known
for focusing on academics
and philanthropy as well as
football.
Kansas
• Continued from Page C1
ber, the formula has worked
to perfection. Deep and talented, Kansas has an average
victory margin of nearly 17
points a game, despite having already faced four Big
12 foes and national powers
such as MSU, Ohio State and
Temple.
Then there’s the chiseled,
6-foot-5 McLemore, who sat
out last season due to NCAA
academic issues but is coming on so fast that he recently
scored 33 points — including
an overtime-forcing 3-pointer
— in a win over Iowa State.
“McLemore’s incredible,”
Shulman said. “He’s got to be
a top-four or -five pick in the
NBA draft.”
According to the Jan. 17
edition of NBADraft.net,
Shulman’s a few spots too
low. The website has him
going No. 1.
Nor do his older teammates seem to mind the
attention the newbie is
receiving. When McLemore
sprained an ankle last week
against Baylor, Johnson said,
“Ben just doesn’t deserve to
be hurt right now or cheated out of playing. He’s been
cheated out of playing long
SEC freshman of the week honor
Monday.
Calipari didn’t say what Cauley-Stein’s availability would be
against Alabama, but Kentucky’s
objective will be containing the
Tide’s guard contingent. They’re
led by junior Trevor Releford,
who averages 16.2 points per
game overall but ranks third in
SEC contests at 18.7. He’s helped
by sophomores Trevor Lacey
(12.5), Rodney Cooper (11.6)
and Levi Randolph (8.3). They’re
long and athletic, ranging from
6-foot-3 to 6-6.
Lacey and Releford combined
for 29 points in Alabama’s 50-49
win over Texas A&M on Saturday, the Tide’s third victory in
a row.
To slow Alabama’s backcourt,
the Wildcats will need strong
defensive efforts from Archie
Goodwin and Alex Poythress.
Each had 12 points and seven
rebounds against Auburn.

UTC coach John Shulman was not happy with his Mocs’ early-game defense in
Saturday’s loss to Western Carolina and promises lineup changes for Thursday.
Shulman plans moves
By David Uchiyama
Staff Writer
University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga basketball
coach John Shulman brought
up the San Francisco 49ers’
comeback from an early 170 deficit in the NFC championship game during his
Mocs’ pre-practice meeting
Monday.
He did not make a comparison to UTC coming
from 19 points down to
Appalachian State with 6:36
to go last Thursday.
“They’ve got an identity,”
Shulman said of the Niners,
who won 28-24. “And we
don’t.”
And he’s not happy about
it. The Mocs have surrendered 90, 88 and 86 points in
their last three games — two
losses and one win. Shulman
also pointed out that UTC
held Kansas, now ranked
No. 3 in the country, to 69
points at the beginning of
the season.
“I’m worried about identity,” Shulman said. “But
we have been brutal defensively.”
In what aspects?
“It’s accountability, alert-
ness and maturity,” he said.
“I’m worried about the communication with transition
‘D.’ That was poor, and that
we’ll work on. I’m more worried about that than [Tom]
Tankelewicz hitting a 3 over
a hand.”
Shulman said he will make
changes in the starting lineup for Thursday when the
Mocs (8-11, 3-3) play a Southern Conference game at Elon
(11-7, 4-2). But he’s not set on
— or not declaring — those
changes quite yet.
“It’s not a threat. We need
to make changes to get off to
a better start defensively,”
Shulman said. “They’re yet
to be determined. We’re
not bad in all five spots — a
couple spots. I want to see
someone make a statement
out here.”
Freshman guard Gee
McGhee received the message, even though he’s been
switched off original assignments to defend players who
have had hot starts against
the Mocs.
“I’m guessing that Coach
doesn’t feel like some of
the guys are playing up to
their ability,” McGhee said.
KANSAS JAYHAWKS
“I guess that he’s trying to
look for a better fit so we
can stop coming out of the
game slow.”
Senior guard Dontay
Hampton has been one of
the better perimeter defenders in the four games he’s
played this season. He
played Saturday despite
having a broken shooting
hand. He told Shulman on
Monday that the swelling
had reduced.
But it still looked like a
balloon or as if he had stuck
his hand in a beehive.
Hampton will not practice with the team. Getting
treatment and remaining
in cardiovascular shape are
his basketball priorities until
the Mocs play Thursday.
“I saw it today and I’m
like, ‘Oh you had a relapse,’”
Shulman said. “And he told
me it’s way down.”
Hampton referred to the
swelling. The words are also
an apt description of UTC’s
defense — way down.

16-1 (4-0 Big 12)
■ AP Rank: No. 3
■ RPI/Strength of Schedule: 3/6
■ Best win: 74-66 at Ohio State
■ Worst loss: 84-76 at North Carolina State
■ Miles from Lawrence, Kan., to Georgia Dome: 844
■ Strengths: The Jayhawks not only start four seniors
alongside fabulous redshirt freshman Ben McLemore
(16.4 ppg), but two of those seniors — point guard Elijah
Johnson (9.7 ppg, 5 apg) and center Jeff Withey (13.1
ppg, 8.2 rpg, 4.6 blocks) — started in last year’s NCAA
title-game loss to Kentucky. That hunger to return to the
Final Four cannot be overstated.
■ Weaknesses: Despite its experience, KU often isn’t a
well-oiled offensive machine. Its past early NCAA exits
usually have involved scoring struggles, and that could be
this team’s biggest issue as well.
■ Will be shooting at Big Peach baskets at Final Four
if: The Jayhawks can hit at least five 3-pointers in each
of their tournament games and Withey stays out of foul
trouble.
■ Coachspeak: “If Kansas can shoot like that every
game, it takes them to a whole other level. They are as
good as anybody in the country.” — American University
coach Jeff Jones (former Virginia point guard), after
watching the Jayhawks shoot 63 percent overall and 62
percent on 3s in a 89-57 defeat of his team.

“But I do know I haven’t seen

But he’s eligible now, and
if he and the rest of the Jayhawks stay healthy through

eventual national champs.

improved defense to commitment and experience.
He added that diminutive
guard Erving Walker was a
talented shooter last season
but was hard to hide defensively and that Bradley Beal,
for all his talents, discovered that defending at the
major college level was different from high school.
Opponents are averaging
just 36.1-percent shooting
against the Gators, which
has Florida foes having to
guard against frustration as
well.
“We didn’t give ourselves a chance to have a
good night offensively,”
Missouri’s Frank Haith said.
“We didn’t screen. We didn’t
cut hard. We didn’t do the
little things, and to play a
team that’s sound like that
defensively, your execution
has to be top-notch.”
Said Texas A&M’s Billy
Kennedy: “You end up taking quick shots and not
good shots, and that leads
to transition baskets for
them.”
Florida has lost heartbreaking Elite Eight games
the past two seasons to
Butler and Louisville. The
Gators would appear to be
the only SEC team right now
capable of a deep NCAA
tournament run, but Donovan is adamant about tackling the daily grind and not
looking behind or ahead.
“Whatever happened
yesterday or last week
has no bearing on today,”
he said. “It’s a constant
investment, and it’s making deposits every day. It’s
human nature to want to
get complacent and to not
want to continue to strive
to be better than where you
are. Our guys have got to be
able to handle that aspect of
this journey in our league
right now.
“We’re 4-0, but we’ve got
to get better.”
Odds and ends
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi projects just four of the SEC’s
14 members in the 68-team
NCAA tournament field,
with Florida as a 3 seed,
Missouri a 4 seed, Ole Miss
a 9 seed and Kentucky a
10 seed. ... Ole Miss junior
guard Marshall Henderson
was named SEC player of
the week after averaging
21 points, 4.5 rebounds and
three steals in wins last week
over Vanderbilt and Arkansas. ... Donovan on Fox, who
is 57-56 in his fourth season
and 20-32 in SEC games:
“They’ve got incredible leadership and direction with
Mark there. He has been
successful his whole life, and
there are always going to be
peaks and valleys and ups
and downs.”

back Gerald Riggs (2002)
and former Calhoun and
UT receiver Da’Rick Rogers (2010). Bell is rated the
32nd overall prospect in
the nation, the third-highest ranking ever for an area
player.
“The way he performed
in the UnderArmour AllAmerican game really
showed how versatile he is,”
Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis said. “He showed that
he can play either safety
position or even be a oneon-one shut-down cornerback, and that just made his
stock rise even more.
“He was pleasantly surprised when all five assistants showed up with
Coach Jones. He said he was
impressed with how Coach
Jones shared his philosophy
of what he’s bringing to the
program and the changes he
will be making for the future.
He is selling the Bells on the
environment they’re trying
to create and how Vonn can
help move things in a positive direction.”
Bell will take his official
visit to UT this weekend and
will talk with his family and
coaches early next week to
begin deciding among UT,
Alabama and Ohio State. He
will announce his choice on
national signing day, Feb. 6,
at a news conference in the
Ridgeland gym. That decision will be broadcast live
on ESPNU at 10 a.m.
Bell will visit the Knoxville campus this weekend
with his family. He already
has visited Ohio State and
Alabama and had an inhome visit from Crimson
Tide coach Nick Saban
last Monday. Coaches are
allowed only one in-home
visit, and Buckeyes coach
Urban Meyer used his oneon-one day when Ridgeland
played in Georgia’s Class
AAAA state final, spending
time with Bell in the locker
room before and after the
good job of showing
Vonn he’s a priority.
I’ve never heard of an
entire staff showing up
to recruit one player, so
that was pretty impressive. Now when the

The Vols were considered to have fallen behind
Bell’s other two finalists
because of the lack of a
personal recruiting touch
by former UT coach Derek
Dooley and his staff.
“Just by showing up, that’s
different than the former
UT regime,” Mariakis said.
“Coach Jones knows UT is
behind in time. That’s not
his fault — it’s just the timing of the coaching change,
which has only given them a
couple of weeks to make up
ground when the other two
staffs have been recruiting
him and building a relationship for more than a year.

FAIRHOPE, Ala. —
Former LSU star Tyrann
“Honey Badger” Mathieu is
at the Senior Bowl attempting to repair his image and
convince NFL teams that he
has changed his ways.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist was just a spectator Monday, watching exteammate Lavar Edwards
and the rest of the Senior
Bowl’s South team practice.
But Mathieu hopes to meet
with interested NFL teams
during his trip.
Mathieu knows he doesn’t
have room for more missteps
off the field and said he’ll
understand if team officials
react with skepticism.
“They have every right
to do that,” he said. “I’m not
really looking forward to
people trusting me today or
tomorrow. Trust takes time,
especially when you’ve done
a lot of things for people
not to be able to trust you.
It may take two years. It
may take five years, it may
take until I’m 30 years old
for people to start trusting
Tyrann again. But the truth
is, I’m doing the right things
and just looking forward to
being a football player.”
Mathieu was dismissed
from the LSU team last
August for failing a drug
test. He was arrested in late
October along with three
other former LSU players —
including quarterback Jordan Jefferson — after police
said they found marijuana at
Mathieu’s apartment.
He said his NFL ambitions haven’t changed even
if his days as the “Honey
Badger” ended with his college career.
He has been training for
the NFL combine in south
Florida but was just in Arizona training with Patrick
Peterson, a former LSU cornerback now with the Arizona Cardinals.
“I took a few days off
from training just to come
here and meet with a few
coaches and just be back
around football again,”
Mathieu said.
Mathieu, who didn’t arrive
with any meetings set up,
said he knows his behavior
will be scrutinized as much
as his 40-yard-dash time.
“This is my last shot,” he
said. “You’ve got to learn
when to do things and when
not to do things, when to
party and when not to party.
Every day is football. That’s
the biggest thing I got out
of it. I’m just ready to live a
football life.”
He said his goals haven’t
changed even though his
path to a football career
has, and he still feels he’s a
future Pro Bowler.
Mathieu, though, said the
past few months have been
“really just getting a grip on
myself, personally, spiritually and emotionally.”
He knows the kids hovering behind a fence calling
out “Honey Badger” still
think of him by that moniker
that became a nationwide
sensation.

Clemson-Georgia shift not likely
By David Paschall
Staff Writer
The USA Today reported
Monday that Clemson football
coach Dabo Swinney believes
the 2013 season opener with
Georgia could be moved to
Labor Day night.
Such a move would have
to be approved by both
universities, and outgoing
Georgia president Michael
Adams has been vehemently
against playing games during the week. The Bulldogs
have not played a regular-
season football game on a
non Saturday since Adams
became president in 1997.
“We won’t do it home
or away,” Adams said in a
recent interview with the
Times Free Press. “I think
Monday through Friday are
for education, and I think
Saturday is appropriate for
football.”

Mustangs in state bowling event
By Ron Bush
Staff Writer
Since he’s the Mustangs’
only senior and Jacob Baker
is the lone junior, sophomore
Jesse Bishop and the team’s
seven freshmen may have a
lot of special seasons ahead.
But earning the first state
berth meant getting off to a
good start Monday and keeping the pressure on.
“Coach tells us it’s one
game at a time,” said Brendon Baker, who went 3-0 with
a 209 in the first game and a
231 in the clincher, when the
Mustangs needed only two
wins to assure victory. “That’s
how you break down the walls
of the city, and then you sack
the city at the end.”
Four freshmen joined the
Bakers in the starting lineup.
Briton Helton led the ninthgraders with a 220 and a 202
after his opening 168, and
Caleb Zanoska had a 192 and a
187 as the Mustangs rolled up
a 12-4 lead through two games.
That enabled them to weather
a third game when four Bulldogs bowled 204 or better.
Helton

“They’re
really rolling well, and they rolled with

“Our goal coming into the season was to peak at tournament

of their best matches in this

rolling together as a team.”

CLEVELAND, Tenn.
— The Walker Valley High
School boys’ bowling program celebrated its 10th
year of existence Monday
with a monumental first: a
team berth in the state tournament.
The Mustangs defeated
Smyrna’s Bulldogs 17-10 in
their TSSAA Division I sectional Monday afternoon at
Leisure Time Bowling on
Keith Street, so the rest of
the team will join senior captain Brendon Baker later this
week at the championship
event in Smyrna.
“Our slogan has been: ‘Do
what you’ve always done
and you’ll get what you’ve
always got,’” Walker Valley
coach Dean Anderson said.
“We asked them today to do
something different from
what you’ve always done
and you’re going to get something different than you’ve
always got.
“ We ’ v e
never even
won a regional before last
week with
the boys. I’m
so proud of
these guys.”

222.37 regular-season game
average into the individual

morning. He rolled games of
248, 196 and 235 and went 2-1
in defeat Monday.
“This is my first time
going as an individual, and
it’s our first time as a team,”
said Walker Valley captain
Baker, who earned his Thursday morning spot with a 183
average. “It’s a great to way

it the right way this time,”
Mathieu said. “I think in my
career at LSU, the Honey
Badger kind of just came to
an abrupt end. Hopefully,
I’m going to give these kids
something to look forward
to growing up.”
However he’s known,
Mathieu said he had to make
changes in lifestyle, starting
with the people around him.
Now he has to convince
NFL teams.
“Basically, I just had to
take myself out of that situation that I was involved
in and get away from all
those kinds of people and
just really starting hanging
myself around positive people, people who are actually
doing what I want to do in
my life,” Mathieu said. “And
that’s being a professional
football player. I think everything’s going very well right
now. I feel real good about
myself. I just try to keep a
smile on.”
He doesn’t smile when
talking about eventual
national champion Alabama’s winning touchdown against the Tigers in
November, which essentially knocked LSU out of
title contention. It came on
a screen pass to T.J. Yeldon
when freshman cornerback
Jalen Mills blitzed.
“I would have given everything” to be on the field,
Mathieu said. “That was a
freshman on that blitz and I
would have been a junior, so
I would have known that play
was coming. I would have
been able to do something.
It’s possible that Hixson
senior forward D’Mondta
Smith was tired of the whispers. He grew tired of people
mentioning behind his back
that he was a soft player
— mentally and physically.
So far this season, he’s been
on a mission to quiet all of
that talk.
Last week was just another example.
Despite two District 6AA losses, Smith averaged
22.5 points, 19.5 rebounds
and 7.5 blocked shots and
was selected the Times Free
Press player of the week.
The Wildcats currently are
7-13 and 1-7 in District 6-AA,
with their last four league
losses coming by an average
of less than five points. In the
past month, the 6-foot-6 forward has averaged around 24
points, 16 rebounds and eight
blocks a game.
Smith had an 18-point, 13rebound, seven-block performance in a Jan. 18 loss
to Central, despite fouling
out with about four minutes
remaining. Hixson coach
Alex Disbrow said Smith
began the fourth quarter
with no fouls.
“What I’m so proud of
him for against Central is
that in previous years he
would have been upset and
started blaming others,” Disbrow said. “When he fouled
out, he didn’t lose his composure or blame other people;
he took responsibility, said, ‘I
gave it all I had, Coach’ and
sat down.
“He’s always had this
knock of being a good, talented player, but he was soft
at times and you could get in
his head. Now he’s learned
from the past, and that’s a
big difference from previous
years.”
Disbrow noted that Smith
has been facing double teams
all season. That wasn’t
enough on Jan. 15, when the
senior scored 27 points with
a career-high 26 rebounds
and eight blocks in a 59-50
loss to East Ridge.
“We haven’t been winning, but D’Mondta’s been
doing his part,” Disbrow said.
“We’ve played good teams
close, but we lose because
of one or two possessions.
Right now, he’s on a mission
not to let anything stop him;
he has the mindset that he’s
the best player on the court
and wants to prove it.
“He’s learned a lot more
about life than he has about
basketball this season. He’s
learned how to handle adversity, and he’s doing whatever
is possible to help the team
win.”

Breaking News: 423-757-News
Harbaughs downplay sibling aspect
By Janie McCauley
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jim
and John Harbaugh have exchanged
a handful of text messages and plan
to leave it at that. No phone conversations necessary while the season’s
still going. No time for pleasantries,
even for the friendly siblings.
There is work to be done to prepare for the Super Bowl, prepare for
each other, prepare for a history-making day already being widely hyped
as “Harbowl” or “Superbaugh.”
“It doesn’t matter who the coach
is, what relationship you have with
the person on the other side,” 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said so matterof-factly Monday afternoon.
Their parents surely aren’t picking sides for the Feb. 3 matchup in
New Orleans.
These days, the Harbaughs’
longtime coaching father, Jack,
stays away from game-planning
chatter or strategy sessions with
his Super Bowl-bound coaching
sons. Baltimore’s John Harbaugh
and little brother Jim have been
doing this long enough now to no
longer need dad’s input.
Yet they still regularly seek it.
And their father does offer one
basic mantra.
The Associated Press
Ravens coach John Harbaugh, left, and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, right, will be the first pair of brothers to coach against each other in
the NFL title game on Feb 3.
“Probably the greatest advice
that I’ve ever been given and the
only advice that I’ve ever found to
be true in all of coaching, I think
we mentioned it to both John and
Jim. ... The coaching advice is, ‘Get
ahead, stay ahead,’” Jack Harbaugh
said.
“If I’m called upon, I’ll repeat
that same message.”
His boys still call home regularly to check in with the man who
turned both on to the coaching profession years ago, and the mother
who has handled everything behind
the scenes for decades in a highly
competitive, sports-crazed family
— with all the routine sports clichis
to show for it.
The Harbaugh brothers will

As for the rest of the team,
a 49ers fan called me Monday to say the Falcons “aren’t

Given the two personalfoul penalties they received
Sunday, some might argue
with that. But his point that
Atlanta doesn’t tackle fiercely (or all that well) has some
validity.
The defensive backs often
look as if they learned tackling
from former Falcon Deion
Sanders, who may have been
the greatest cover corner ever
but approached fundamentally sound tackling as if he
were attempting to wrap his
arms around a cobra rather
than an enemy ball carrier.

the development of young
receivers Justin Blackmon

Duffner has 38 years of

16 in the NFL. Sullivan has 40

No one except Jeremy Lin has

one more big win from forcing
Baltimore to break the bank

a monster deal, because who
can let a Super Bowl-winning
QB walk?
■ Underplayed storyline
(well, until the next fortnight,
because everything will see
the light of day in the twoweek build-up to the big
game): Randy Moss coming

Randy Moss, the role model.

to be talked about.”

pregame shows about this so
shy Ray could have gotten a
little attention. Maybe ESPN
will do a story — or 12 — on
him and the Rayvens before
the Super Bowl.
■ Is this the ceiling for
the Atlanta Falcons, who got
glimpses of both Matty Ice
and Ryan’s Hopelessness.
Quarterback Matt Ryan was
excellent in the first half and
had two painful turnovers
in a scoreless second half in
Sunday’s loss. Atlanta has a
talented core — the league’s
best receiving tandem, an
offensive line that stood toeto-toe against the 49ers’ tough
defensive front, a defense that
is relatively young and features some talent.
After the sting of blowing
a 17-0 lead wanes, the Falcons’
to-do list needs to be (1) Talk
Tony Gonzalez into one more
year (show him all the love
that Lewis has gotten with an
announced farewell tour and
remind him that while Lewis is
on the short list of best middle
linebackers ever, the list of best
tight ends starts with Gonzalez
and goes from there); (2) Find
a pass rusher to complement
the aging John Abraham (good
news is there are a slew of them
in this draft); (3) Make Marcus
Lattimore a second-round pick
and enjoy the rejuvenated running game.
■ Does Sunday’s stinker
tarnish Brady’s legacy? We
don’t think so, although Manning would have been crushed
for that kind of performance.
And as much internal work as
the Falcons may have to stay
at this level (especially in the
NFC, considering the 49ers
aren’t going anywhere, the
Packers aren’t going anywhere,
the Saints will be better and so
will the Seahawks), the Pats are
going to be right at the top of
the AFC mix next year, too.
If we’re Belichick and Co.,
we’re looking hard at moving
some draft picks and getting to
about No. 10 in the first round
and taking Cordarrelle Patterson. It’s time Brady had someone on the perimeter who did
more than generate comments
like “Wow, he can really get
open and take a hit on a 6-yard
gain” (Wes Welker) and “Wow,
didn’t know those guys were
still alive” (Brandon Lloyd and
Deion Branch).

To reach a Super Bowl,
the Falcons must commit
to improving their tackling
skills or find a few defensive backs and linebackers
who can.
The running game —
ranked a putrid 29th in the
NFL — must also get better.
Michael Turner is 30 years
old and beginning to wear
down. His current backup,
Jacquizz Rodgers, has sometimes looked like a productive starting tailback, but he’s
5-foot-6 and 196 pounds.
It’s fine for wideout Harry
Douglas to say of Rodgers,
“He’s short, but he’s probably got the most muscles
I’ve ever seen on a human
being,” but he’s still 5-6, 196,
and good as he is, Rodgers is
no Barry Sanders.
Times Free Press sports
editor Jay Greeson believes
the Falcons should draft
injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, and if only to have his
potential talent and certain
character on the team that
would seem a good move.
But Lattimore isn’t going
to help anybody in 2013. So
risky though this may seem,
the Falcons should make
any deal possible save the
trading of quarterback Matt
Ryan, wideouts Julio Jones
and Roddy White and safety
William Moore to draft Ala-
bama running back Eddie
Lacy.
Lacy would give the Falcons a tough, durable back
on the order of Seattle’s
Marshawn Lynch, someone capable of playing six
or seven strong seasons. It
might also further open passing lanes for Ryan, always a
good thing.
As he talked about his
own probable retirement
last week, Gonzalez laughingly called Ryan “a dinosaur” in this age of running
quarterbacks.
However, he quickly and
correctly added that Atlanta’s 27-year-old QB belongs
on the short list of the NFL’s
best pocket passers — Eli
and Peyton Manning, Tom
Brady, Aaron Rodgers and
Drew Brees.
And given the 396 yards,
three touchdowns and 114.8
QB rating that Ryan amassed
against the 49ers, it would be
tough to argue that assessment, despite his two costly
third-quarter turnovers.
But if the Falcons don’t
improve their tackling and
running before next season, Tyrannosaurus Ryan’s
Super Bowl chances may
also become extinct before
they’re extended.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
— Tom Brady stood helplessly with his hands on his
hips after his tipped pass
was intercepted. He walked
slowly to the sideline,
removed his helmet and sat
on the bench.
A fourth-quarter comeback chance was gone. The
end of the New England
quarterback’s season was less
than seven minutes away.
Playoff games leave teams
with “either euphoria or crash
landing. For us,” Patriots coach
Bill Belichick said Monday, “it
was crash landing.”
Not even the NFL’s best
offense or an improving
young defense could soften
the blow. The 28-13 loss to
the Baltimore Ravens in the
AFC championship game
Sunday night left the Patriots without a Super Bowl
title for the eighth straight
year and sent them into an
offseason when they could
lose two key players.
Wide receiver Wes Welker and cornerback Aqib Talib
can become free agents.

Songs can
control a
man’s life
When a person starts writing
songs, they soon discover that
their life doesn’t belong to them
any longer. It belongs to their
songs.
It all starts so innocently. Just
playing with cute little lines like
“Don’t Pay the Ransom, Honey,
I’ve Escaped” or “The Alabama
Crossdresser.” But after all the
tee-hees and hardy-har-hars are
giggled and gone, one day you
realize what’s running your life are
the songs.
Songs tell you
when you can eat.

ing? Such a man
has decided not to be a songwriter but to be a husband. Few wives
will tolerate working for hours
on a great meal while their man
sits pecking pitifully on a song. If
I’m not careful here I will tell you
why I have been married several
times.
The songs tell you when you
can sleep. You can be in a deep
sleep and a line to a song you
have been writing will begin to
unfurl in your head. It will unfurl
until you get up and write it
down. Should you be exceptionally strong and continue to try to
sleep, the song will punish you
the next day by refusing to come
to memory. After a few years
you will learn to obey the song.
You will get up and write the
lines down as they come. Songs
demand complete obedience.
Songs will tell you when you
can walk. One night I was taking a
walk at Northgate Mall and “Louise” started coming to me:
Please don’t ask me about Louise
It’s just more than I can bear
I came home from work this
evening
And found her at the bottom of
the stairs
I smiled and said, “Oh, I can
remember that when I get home.
Thanks!” But Louise kept coming:
Louise and I were seldom parted
They say we made the perfect
pair
I don’t see how I can go on
Since Louise came tumbling

RECALL MAGIC
OF WORKING AT
DISNEY WORLD
By Clint Cooper
Staff Writer
On August afternoons last
summer, as the smile on the
face of Ooltewah’s Brittany
Kanerva’s melted in the searing heat, she wondered what
a nice accounting major was
doing in a place like this —
holding back crowds during
the parade down Main Street
at Walt Disney World.
Despite the heat, the
Lee University junior, who
interned with Disney from
January to August, says
working for the Florida
entertainment resort was
a good experience and a
chance to “do something different” before she bore down
to finish her degree. When
the opportunity came to
apply for the Disney College
Program, she jumped.
“I’m in school to be an
accountant,” Kanerva says,
“and I’ll never get a chance
to work in a theme park
[after graduation]. I’m motivated for school.”
She is one of a number of
Chattanooga area residents
who have helped put the
magic in the Magic Kingdom
through the program in recent
years. Current figures for the
program are not available, but
a 2005 Associated Press article
said it employs about 4,000
students at any one time and
8,000 students a year.

Improving yourself? Six books that may help
By Christine Champagne
McClatchy Tribune News Service
The beginning of a year is a
natural time to try to do things
better. If you are on a quest for
self-improvement, there are some
new books offering inspiration,
motivation and advice to get you
on the right path, whether you’re
trying to eat better, lose weight,
get in shape or save money.
EAT BETTER
■ Do you subsist on takeout
meals or frozen food because you
can’t cook — or are just plain
lazy? Well, you don’t have to be a
disaster in the kitchen for the rest
of your life. Author Timothy Ferriss, whom you might have seen
on “The Dr. Oz Show,” will bring
out your inner Julia Child — or
Anthony Bourdain, depending on
your taste — with his revolutionary book “The 4-Hour Chef:
The Simple Path to Cooking
Like a Pro, Learning Anything,
and Living the Good Life”
($21.70 at Books-A-Million). Billed
as “the cookbook for people who
don’t buy cookbooks,” “The 4Hour Chef” will teach you everything from how to chop an onion
to how to poach an egg. But this
book is about much more than
cooking. It’s a fascinating exploration of how accelerated learning
works, and it might even give you
the confidence to master skills
in other areas in which you are
lacking. Or maybe learning how
to poach an egg will be enough
for you.
■ People who make radical
changes in the way they eat tend
to slip right back into bad habits.
But nutritionist Ellie Krieger, host
of the Cooking Channel’s Healthy
Appetite, takes a slow and steady
approach in the revised and
updated version of her book
“Small Changes, Big Results:
A Wellness Plan with 65 Recipes for a Healthy, Balanced
Life Full of Flavor” ($10.88 at
Amazon). The 12-week wellness

plan outlined in the book recommends making a series of small,
gradual changes like replacing
refined grains with whole grains.
Krieger’s patient and sensible
approach to eating better takes
the stress out of it and makes
it seem possible. The book also
features easy-to-make recipes for

Less-invasive heart surgery
holds promise for quick healing
DEAR DOCTOR K: I have aortic valve regurgitation and need to have my aortic valve replaced.
What will happen during this procedure?
DEAR READER: When
it’s working properly, your
aortic valve opens to allow
oxygen-rich
bl o o d to
flow from
your heart
into your
aorta and
out to the
rest of your
Dr. K
body. The
Dr. Anthony
aorta is the
Komaroff
body’s largest blood vessel. (I’ve put an
illustration of how healthy
heart valves work on my
website, AskDoctorK.com.)
Heart valves keep blood
flowing in just one direction
— the direction the heart
wants to pump blood. Particularly when you’re sitting
or standing up, gravity wants
to pull blood back down into
the heart from the aorta. If
that happened, the heart
would have to work much
harder: It would keep having to pump the same blood
out into the circulation. A
healthy aortic valve prevents
gravity from pulling blood
back down into the heart.
Aging and disease can
damage the aortic valve. If it
doesn’t close tightly, blood
can re-enter the heart, causing aortic regurgitation. It
can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, fainting and
other symptoms. If your
symptoms are severe, or if
the condition is weakening
your heart, you may need
to have your aortic valve
replaced with a prosthetic
valve. Prosthetic valves are
either synthetic mechanical
valves or biological valves
made of human or animal
tissue. The traditional surgery involves splitting the
breast bone, exposing the
heart and then replacing the
valve. An intravenous (IV)
line is inserted into your
arm to deliver fluids and
medications. You will be
given a general anesthetic.
After your heart is
exposed, your heart will be
cooled and stopped while
the surgery is being performed. That’s because it’s
hard to perform surgery on
a beating heart. Since your
heart has stopped, you need
a machine — a heart-lung
machine — to get oxygen
in your blood and pump it
around the body.
Once your heart is
motionless, the surgeon
will cut through its muscular wall. He or she will
remove the malfunctioning
heart valve, insert the prosthetic valve and stitch it into
place.
After closing the incision
in your heart wall, the surgeon will warm your heart.
Once your heart is pumping steadily without leaking
blood, you will be disconnected from the heart-lung
machine. The surgeon will
reattach the halves of your
breastbone and your chest
incision will be closed.
For some patients, the
heart surgeon can replace
a heart valve through a
smaller incision. New technologies allow artificial
valves to be inserted into
the heart without making
even a small opening in the
patient’s chest.
Heart specialists are
still gaining experience
with these less-invasive
approaches. There is little
doubt that, because they
involve cutting into fewer
tissues, patients heal more
quickly. However, it’s not yet
clear if the long-term results
of less-invasive types of surgery are as good as with traditional surgery.

Events in the Bible are true
Q: How do we know that what the Bible says
about events that supposedly occurred thousands
of years ago is actually true? Maybe someone just
made them up so people would believe God had
done them or something like that. — M. McD.
A: I want to assure you
that we can be confident the
events recorded in the Bible
actually did
take place,
although
they happened thousands of
years ago. In
Billy Graham fact, because
of recent discoveries we can
be even more confident of
the Bible’s reliability.
Let me ask you a question: How do you know
anything ever happened, if
you weren’t there to witness
it? How do you know the
Roman Empire ever existed,
or Napoleon actually lived,
or the American Revolution took place? You know
because even if you weren’t
there to witness them,
other people were, and
they recorded the events in
books and letters. You know
it, too, because things left
behind bear witness to their
existence — buildings and
carriages and weapons and

documents.
The same is true of events
in the Bible. People saw them
and then recorded them in
books and letters. Often,
too, things left behind bear
witness to these events. Official documents from ancient
Assyria, for example, have
been unearthed telling about
events that are also recorded
in the Bible. Archaeologists
continue to uncover ancient
artifacts that confirm the
Bible’s record. As the Apostle Peter wrote, “We did not
follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about
... our Lord Jesus Christ, but
we were eyewitnesses” (2
Peter 1:16).
The real question, however, is this: Why is the
Bible important? It’s important for many reasons, but
most of all because it points
us to Jesus Christ, who by
his death and resurrection
opened heaven’s door for
us. Why not commit your
life to him?

can decide tomorrow is a new day,
and you can make a conscious effort
to have a better day. I lost 23 pounds.
Am I perfect? No. Do I eat white
sugar and white flour? Yes, but I
don’t do it that often,” Ellin said.
For Isha Edwards, 40, meeting
new year’s resolutions is all about
getting in the right mind-set. For her,
that begins with calling them goals
— and not resolutions — and avoiding the first of the year for getting
things started.
She also likes to give her goals
fun names such as “30 day spend
fast” to describe her money-saving
plan. She took on the money-saving
goal last September to boost her savings. For one month, she fought the
temptation to buy new items for her
wardrobe.
The Atlanta marketing consultant
still made her weekly trips to clothing stores, including her favorite
— Loehmann’s. But for one month,
Edwards only looked at merchandise. She passed on what seemed
like the perfect shoes and the perfect accessories. By the end of the
month, she boosted her checking
account by $500.
Edwards feels like she not only
met her goal for September, but has
seen a lasting impact.
“A lot of times, I live in the
moment,” Edwards said. “And I
learned how to go into a mall and
not spend any money. During that
month, I built up my willpower.”
Edwards hopes to soon go on a
vacation to Italy, and she said, she’ll
have enough saved up to pay for the
entire trip — before she goes.
Meanwhile, she’s just started a
new goal for the year: learning Italian.
How do you know if child is ready for college?
By Tracy Ormsbee
Albany Times Union
If your high school
senior is spending more
time looking at Facebook
on her iPhone than reading
her English assignment or
watching reruns of ”Dance
Moms” into the wee hours
on a school night, you may
wonder whether she’s really
ready to head off to college
next year.
Is she mature enough to
handle it?
Will those tens of thousands of dollars in tuition be
money well spent?
How can you know?
Because, by God, you’re
the parent and you need to
know.
We asked Dean Skarlis,
president of The College
Advisor of New York.
Q: In today’s economic
climate, with skyrocketing
college costs, should you
still send your kid if they
don’t seem ready?
A: The interesting thing
is, back when I went through
the process 27 years ago now,
only 60 percent of kids went
directly from high school to
college. Today it’s 70 percent.
It’s more of an expectation
today that students go to college.
On the other hand, the
cost has gotten so out of
control. With RPI, Skidmore
and a hundred other schools
approaching sixty grand,
parents are thinking, ”Wait a
minute.” I would advise people to start thinking about
that in 10th and 11th grade
to make a more informed
decision about college, community college or military
service.
Q: What are some signs
to look for in your child?
A: No. 1 is they don’t
have good grades, especially if they’re not taking
a demanding curriculum
and the grades are Cs and
Bs. That’s red flag No. 1. If
they’re not engaging in one
or two extracurricular activities, other than games on the
XBox. When you send him
miles away, is he going to be
engaged in his studies?
Maybe the student is
very talented but doesn’t put
any time into their studies.
Some of those students are
not ready for a four-yearschool. A two-year-school is
less expensive, if they’re not
going to excel.
Q: How do you keep
them on track for college if
they don’t go right away?
A: That’s just really knowing your child and impressing upon them the value of
getting a four-year degree.
Some kids are just not fouryear college students. That’s
the issue, figuring that out.
They can talk to a guidance
counselor or maybe a teacher or two. That’s a real hard
thing. Some kids shouldn’t
go to a four-year school, but
some should but maybe need
a detour.
Q: You said it’s best to
figure out whether your
child is ready their sophomore or junior year. What
if it’s senior year, they’ve
applied to college but you
have doubts?
A: They always have the
fallback of a [community
college]. They can apply
in August and be admitted
pretty easily. The only negative is a lot of the community
colleges are over-subscribed.
So many people unemployed
going back to college, and so
many kids are going because
the economy is not good
and four-year schools are so
expensive.

ABC’s “The Taste,” which
premieres tonight, features
British food star Nigella
Lawson.
Street bankers who knowingly packaged and sold toxic
mortgage loans to investors all
over the world, a practice that
brought the global economy
to the brink of depression in
2008. Wasn’t this fraud? And
isn’t fraud against the law?
Some here contend that the
Department of Justice gave
prosecutions a low priority
because the banks and bankers
in question were essential to
the revival of a shaky economy.
Others worry that fundamental underlying corruption has
gone unpunished and may be
contributing to future catastrophes every bit as damaging as
the crash of 2008.

Big TVs the stars of the home
By John-John
Williams IV
The Baltimore Sun
BALTIMORE — When
Neil Saval and his wife
closed on a single-family
home in Baltimore’s Federal
Hill neighborhood, his first
purchase wasn’t a piece of
contemporary art or a plush
sofa — it was a Panasonic 60inch flat-screen television.
“The day I settled on the
house, the installers were
delivering the new TV,” the
29-year-old system engineer
said. “My wife jokes with me
that before we had any furniture, we had to get the TV.”

Brooks says, “from visitors
who were the character’s
No. 1 fan to those who were
blind or had other physical disabilities to visitors
who didn’t speak English.
You were trained to handle
almost every situation that
would come your way.”
For many visitors at Disney World, meeting the
resort’s characters is the
photo op they have in their
heads even before they
arrive. It’s a big responsibility to make sure they’re not
disappointed, Brooks says.
“When you think of Disney, (guests’) favorite part,
what they’re looking forward
to, they’re probably going to
mention the characters,” she
says. “And you have the privilege of bringing the characters to life.”
Haven Burns, now an
executive at Craftique
Manufacturing Co., worked
through Disney’s internship
program following her first
two years at the University of
Tennessee in 1989 and 1990.
Five years earlier, she had
torn an article from a magazine about a young woman
working at Disney in hopes
that one day she might have
the opportunity.
“I didn’t know anybody
down there,” she says, having seen a poster advertising
the internship opportunity in
the school’s career services
office. “I think there were six
there from UT that year, and
I didn’t know any of them.”
Burns worked mostly in
food and beverage services at
Epcot her first summer and
primarily in retail at Hollywood Studios her second.
The magic even extended
underground, where most of
the actual nuts and bolts of
Disney’s operation — including dressing rooms, break
rooms, equipment, trash disposal — are located.
“You turned in your uniform and got a fresh uniform every day,” she says.
“As a cast member, you put
on your uniform [in the
underground facilities] and
were transported. You would
come out in your area. If I
was in my Betsy Ross outfit
[for the American pavilion],
they didn’t want me coming
up in Norway. That’s why you
would never see anybody out
of costume. Everything was
that detailed.”
When the park closes, says
Burns, who worked mostly
evening shifts, huge floodlights come on for cleaning,
landscaping and decorating.
“They do everything at
night,” she says. “It’s like daylight in the park. They don’t
want guests to see that.”
All three say the world
behind the scenes was fascinating.
“It’s unbelievable how
large the company is,” says
Brooks. “More than 60,000
people work there. It’s not
until you get there that you
realize what it takes to create the magic for the massive
number of people who visit
every day of the year.”
On the evenings when she
left at 11, she says, workers
were coming in on buses.
“It takes a lot of people to
sustain the Disney image,”
Brooks says. “There is so
much that goes on for the
magic [to happen]. They are
the best, and they will maintain the best because of their
skills in all the services. And
because the expectations are
so high.”
in his great room, a 65-inch
television in his bedroom and
a 110-inch projector TV in his
theater room. “This is the bulk
of where people live: the bedroom, kitchen, great room.”
Recently there has been
a push to better incorporate
these huge televisions and
projectors into existing home
decor.
With the touch of a button,
screens — sometimes exceeding 70 inches — drop from the
ceiling. In some homes, flatscreen televisions have taken
the place of large paintings on
walls. And accessories such as
speakers are now built to blend
into the room as opposed to
being a focal point.
“My family room looks
like a normal family room,”
said Brian Hudkins, president of Gramophone, which
has showrooms in Columbia
and Timonium, Md. “When
we want to watch a movie,
we push a button, the screen
comes down and we have
a 100-inch projector screen
with surround sound.”
Hudkins calls the new
approach “stealth installation.” “The technology disappears,” he said.
When Saval purchased
his television from the Big
Screen Store, he supplied the
retailer with the dimensions
of his family room. Based on
that, the store suggested the
60-inch television, which
Saval calls the “perfect size”
for the room.
“Everyone who comes
over says that the TV is
the perfect size for where it

rubbed off on Brooks on her
days off.
“I’d find myself as a guest,”
she says. “I saw a piece of
paper, reached down and
threw it away.”
Other times when she was

would see a family and offer
to make a photo.

Bonci. Aimed at beginners
as well as experienced
walkers who aren’t seeing the results they want,
“Walk Your Butt Off!” is
available for pre-order
now and will be released
on February 26.
FIX YOUR FINANCES
“The hours were really
long and unpredictable,” she
says. “You would rarely have
the weekends off because
weekends are their busiest
times.”
Kanerva says while smiles
are broad and the park is
pristine in front of the public,
it could be a little different
behind the scenes.
“[Cast members occasionally] are not quite as nice
and happy when they’re on
their break,” she says. “It was
funny watching the transformation.”
And, she says, there are
“absolutely” times when a
park visitor is not pleased with
something. Once, she says, a
visitor became incensed with
her when she would not let
him move to the front of a
line even though his Fastpass
— which is supposed to do
just that — had expired.
“[He] threatened to get
me fired,” she says.
LASTING MEMORIES
Burns says “being a part
of truly a magical place” and
seeing “how a company like
that” runs are the memories
she treasures from her Disney summers.
“You see the looks on
everybody’s face,” she says.
“They’re in a good mood.
They talk to you. [It’s] the
stories you hear.”

is,” he said. “It looks like a
picture framed on the wall.
There are no wires showing.
It looks clean and crisp and
doesn’t look messy.”
It’s ideal for watching
sporting events, “Modern
Family” and his favorite comedies and HBO dramas.
“It’s awesome. It feels like
you are actually there,” he said.
“I don’t need to go the movies anymore. I can get live
streamed videos and TV shows
and all that good stuff.”
A decrease in prices has
been accompanied by increased
quality, retailers say.
“The quality of the picture
is getting better and better,”
Hudkins said. “As a result,
screens can get bigger and
the picture quality has gotten better.”
Packages can run anywhere from $2,000 for a 65inch television with “smart”
features to just over $10,000
for a 120-inch screen, stateof-the-art projector and
top-quality surround sound,
according to Hudkins.
As television manufacturers have battled one another to release newer, better
models, prices have “trailed
down,” which has increased
the affordability of the product, according to Luskin.
“In the next year you are
going to see a greater volume of big-screen televisions and projectors, which
will bring down prices,” he
said. “They’ve improved their
brightness. The graininess is
not there. The screens have
gotten much better.”

“I know my way around,”

thing is avoiding the crowds,

Kanerva says it was cool
“getting to see how everything works” and “knowing
what the cast members go
through,” but she found pleasure in providing the type of
experience she received in
previous visits.
“People made it magical for me,” she says, “and I
wanted to do that for them.”
Brooks says while meeting people from around the
world and adding Disney
World to her work resume
were good experiences, she’ll
remember “how truly magical Disney is.”
“Creating lifelong memories for families in hard times
[and] for terminally ill children,” she says, “those are
things I’ll remember for the

book before you went on
that Christmas-shopping
binge. But according to
“The Good Life for Less:
Giving Your Family Great
Meals, Good Times, and
a Happy Home on a Budget” ($10.95 at Books-A-Million), you don’t have to live
beyond your means to enjoy
life. Written by Amy Allen
Clark and Jana Murphy, the
book shows readers how to
set a budget and stick to it
while also demonstrating
how to save on just about
every purchase and prepare
inexpensive but satisfying
meals for your family.
What’s nice about Clark
is that she doesn’t talk down
to people who are struggling with money issues. In
fact, she and her husband
found themselves in financial hot water just before
the birth of their first child,
and that’s what made Clark
realize it was time to learn
to live on less.
