By Joan Garrett Staff Writer Staff Photo by Dan Henry Zoning battle heads to vote 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 ■ Authorities are still looking for the bodies of a man and two children in Conasauga Creek. a sure Stephen Lofty, chief of the 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.

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.

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 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. NEWSMAKERS The Associated Press 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. ■ 400 E. 11th St. P.O.

Sun.* Business The Associated Press 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 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.” 7 day Print only EZ PAY 1 mo. $20.99 $13.99 $13.99 13 Weeks $65.97 $43.47 $43.47 26 Weeks $128.94 $85.44 $85.44 52 Weeks $251.88 $167.88 $167.88 Bundle: Print & 7 day Enhanced e-Edition EZ PAY 1 mo. $15.39 $15.39 13 Weeks $47.82 $47.82 26 Weeks $94.02 $94.02 52 Weeks $184.68 $184.68 * Includes delivery on Thanksgiving Day and July 4th and the Friday before Memorial Day, Labor Day and Christmas Day.

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.

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. Russian President Vladimir The Gutter that Never Clogs...

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. ladies’ saint james crystal watch, only at ross-simons Putin said last month that he understands Syria needs change and that he was not protecting Assad.

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.

Breaking News: 423-757-News 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 BEST SEAT Ooltewah. “I had no idea it IN THE HOUSE was going to be that close.” That’s how singers in the “It was fantastic,” Mulkey Obama • Continued from Page A1 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.

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 choir members were former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, members of the U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Sen.

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.” Contact staff writer Yolanda Putman at [email protected] or 423-757-6431.

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.” 27 Boy Scou t Ro ad 153 Gadd Road Northgate Mall Proposed apartments, shopping center e Pik on s x Hi IjW\\=hWf^_YXoBWkhWM$CYDkjj IF YOU GO ■ What: Chattanooga City Council vote on Chattanooga Village ■ Where: City Council chambers, City Hall ■ When: 6 p.m. 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.

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 Staff Photo by Dan Henry Bradley County Fire & Rescue workers Matt Ballard, left, and Mike Tyndall use their kayaks to help search for the bodies of an adult and two young children who went missing after a canoe they were in overturned last Wednesday. 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. Contact Mike Pare at [email protected] or 423-757-6318. YOUR HOME TEAM REALTOR!

There is a firm out there that sits down with you and makes a plan based on you and your intentions, and you can have the big-time products and specialization of a major firm and the customization of a boutique firm like ours.” Attorney at Law 3335 Ringgold Road, Suite 105 (423) 305-0385 35272264 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- *Terms & Conditions apply. 35272287 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.

B4 Staff Writer G 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 See MARCH, Page B3 Staff Photo by Tim Barber Little Morgan Massengill, 4, sits in the arms of Frankie Hartman aboard a three-wheel Can-Am Spyder cycle prior to riding with a group of motorcycles in the annual march to the Tivoli Theatre.

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.

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.

CLOSED MEETING After Monday’s budget and finance meeting, the Erlanger board of trustees convened for a closed meeting to discuss the search for a new CEO. According to the board’s legal notice, the meeting would be a closed strategy session regarding the CEO and that “no deliberation or vote will occur during the meeting.” The meeting comes one week after every member of Hamilton County’s legislative delegation signed a letter urging the board to slow its CEO search. Legislators want the decision put on hold because the Morgan Mitchell delegation is crafting legislation amending Erlanger Health CHATSWORTH — Morgan System’s governance.

The other three were members of construction crews who were working on roads. Tennessee Department of Transportation spokeswoman B.J. Doughty told The Tennessean the department wants 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.

PIGEON FORGE, TENN. Liquor vote March 14 Sevier County election officials have set a revote on liquor by the drink in Pigeon Forge for March 14.

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 VOTE Summerville, Ga., residents will vote March 19 on the sale of 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. Contact staff writer Tim Omarzu at tomarzu@ timesfreepress.com or 423757-6651. The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, center, sings with Bernice King, left, at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday commemorative service Monday at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. By Kimberly McMillian Correspondent 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. See GARBAGE, Page B8 Bryan College changes student volunteer day The Associated Press By Kate Brumback 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 See KING, Page B8 “ We pray that this day will be the beginning of a new day in America. ... It will be a day when people realize and recognize that if it were not for Dr. King and those who fought the fight, fought in that movement, we would not be celebrating this presidency. ” — Bernice King, youngest daughter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. 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.

Contact her at kdj424@bellsouth. net. ... . timesfreepress.com Staff Writer 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.

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 Correction A story on Page B1 of Monday’s edition about a string of shootings on Rossville Boulevard on Sunday should have stated that there had been six previous shootings year to date.

Joe Carr Al Sharpton 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 • Continued from Page B1 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.” Contact staff writer Andy Sher at asher@timesfree press.com or 615-255-0550.

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. “Ninety-four percent of buy- 34644176 By Beth Burger Carr squares off over states’ rights, gun bill 35346006 Shooting victims ID’d by police F • • • Tuesday, January 22, 2013 • B5 Breaking News: [email protected] MORE INFORMATION For more information visit www.gracefrankgroup.com or call 423-355-1538.

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.

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. Paul Leach is based in Cleveland.

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 the same Nicholas lab and Kristof 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.

Letters to the Editors —— ❖ —— Does editorial make any sense? “Nusk” was the word for “batty, or not making sense” used by one of my sons when he was very young. The question is asked regarding your Jan. 17 editorial, “Obama Exploits Tragedy” where you claimed “(Obama) showed his willingness to dance on the fresh graves of children for the sake of legacy, popularity...”. You ended the piece with, “(Obama’s) unnecessary war on legal gun owners, expand surveillance on law-abiding citizens... .” One might also ask the question: Who edits you? And, given the outlines of Obama’s proposals that I’ve seen, are you making any sense? Where does your information come from? (Perhaps the same place that reported Warren Buffet to be a tax cheat?) Since you are apparently free to show no restraint and appear to be a “libertarian loose cannon,” why not share what you really think about the “controls” on child labor?

If the writer is as smart as I think he is, he should be ashamed of himself. If he is neither, this newspaper should look for a responsible spokesperson who promotes rational conservative thought rather than one who stokes mindless reactionary passions. TED TIMELIER Signal Mountain Berke has earned Newspaper remiss trust, confidence in spreading story Regarding the Free Press “Drew’s Views” editorial Jan. 18, which asked, “Would Andy Berke make a good mayor? Who knows?” I was not surprised to discover that you would be bereft of an answer to your own question. Clearly, the fact that you are a newcomer who has demonstrated on more than one occasion that you lack the substantive understanding of our community that can only be gained as a result of actually living here and being part of our fine city leaves you unable to answer your own question. For the majority of Chattanooga residents, including this registered Republican, your question has a simple and credible answer. Specifically, Andy Berke and his family have been a positive influence in our city for generations. Andy was born and raised here and is a known and very credible leader who has earned the trust and confidence of Chattanooga residents. I can look back over the years at Andy’s consistent demonstration of excellent moral character, family values and fine leadership skills, and I can comfortably conclude that Andy will make an excellent mayor for Chattanooga. I am glad that I was able to help you answer your own question. MICHAEL MALLEN Writer stokes reactionary fervor Shame on the management of this paper for reprinting a national story that is derogatory to Subway by claiming that our footlong subs are not 12 inches. You managed to perpetuate an Internet story without checking the facts. You may think it is funny, but as an employer of 60 people in your area, I don’t. You will find every footlong piece of bread in my stores to be 12 inches long and freshly baked. Anyone can find a bad sandwich somewhere in this world and put it on the Internet to harm people, and it spreads from there. Be careful what you spread. CHUCK MEGAHEE Subway Franchisee 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. MIKE CARTER handicap.

JILL WALKER 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! HELEN FUSSELL Rossville, Ga. 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. ADAM KINSEY “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.

PREP BOWLING: Walker Valley’s boys advance to state tournament, C5 q q UTC BASKETBALL: Shulman plans changes in starting lineup, C4 Over 165 Properties Sold In 2012! 35264357 ... . Kansas has title chance Falcons pledge to ‘be back’ UTC’s Shulman among believers in Jayhawks By Mark Wiedmer By Mark Wiedmer Staff Writer Staff Writer 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.” Excepting a 67-64 loss to Michigan State in the Georgia Dome in mid-Novem- Staff File Photo by Dan Henry 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 player to earn the top rank, joining former See BELL, Page C5 CHATTANOOGA-AREA’S HIGHEST-RATED PROSPECTS AS RANKED NATIONALLY BY RIVALS.COM Player Da’Rick Rogers Gerald Riggs Vonn Bell Adarius Bowman Demonte Bolden Tana Patrick Jacques Smith High school Position Rivals National Year Calhoun Red Bank Ridgeland Notre Dame Tyner North Jackson Ooltewah receiver running back safety receiver defensive line linebacker defensive line 5-star 5-star 5-star 4-star 4-star 4-star 4-star 9 12 32 36 43 67 80 2010 2002 2013 2003 2004 2009 2010 College Tennessee Tennessee undecided North Carolina Tennessee Alabama Tennessee See KANSAS, Page C4 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 have been some games where we’ve gone into the locker room See FALCONS, Page C6 ■ Florida has won its four league games by an average margin of nearly 27 points. up double digits or up eight or 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.

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 because of the level of Jay play, the level of exciteGreeson ment and the level of Commentary intrigue (that and gambling, of course). And we’re in. We’ve been in throughout these playoffs and we’ve been throughly, Maximus-level entertained. So as we prepare for the Harbaugh-onHarbaugh Super Bowl XLVII, here are the five takeaways from the weekend after San Francisco’s 28-24 win over Atlanta and Baltimore’s 28-13 win at New England: ■ Timing is everything.

The city’s part in the national campaign was Jan. 16-20 with more than 1.5 million meals packed. “Our student-athletes are always getting involved with community-service projects, but most of them are done on a team-by-team basis,” UTC interim athletic director Laura Herron said in a school release. “This was a unique opportunity for them to work together as a department on a community-wide project.” Members of the cross country, track and field, football, soccer, women’s golf, volleyball and women’s tennis teams were involved Sunday.

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 the Mobil 1 Driver of the Race Award and the presenting sponsor of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. Texas track drops prices At Fort Worh, Texas, Texas Motor Speedway will offer some frontstretch tickets at its lowest prices in 15 years for Sprint Cup races. The track will offer about 8,000 frontstretch seats for $49 for each of its two Cup races and has lowered prices on about 7,400 other seats. The track had the highestattended Cup race in 2012 with 159,200 fans last April. 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. SPORTSBRIEFS 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.

Breaking News: 423-757-News 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. Staff Photo by Jake Daniels 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. Contact David Uchiyama at [email protected] or 423-757-6484.

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.

Boyd had already earned all-state honors in helping the Lady Bruins win a state championship last fall. She signed with the University of Mississippi during November’s signing period. Boyd had a 28-2 pitching record with an earned run average of 0.65 last season. 2 In 192 ⁄3 innings pitched she registered 295 strikeouts. “She deserves everything she gets,” Northwest coach Jason Brooker said. “You can’t ask for a better kid. A lot of coaches say a player works hard, but I can honestly say she does. The best thing about her is her drive. No matter how good she’s doing or how good the team is doing, she’s never really satisfied. Her goal is always in sight.” The Georgia Dugout Club gives two player-ofthe-year and two coachof-the-year awards in each classification. Brooker also received one of the coach’s awards, which are voted on by club members consisting of coaches throughout the state. “It all comes down to the players. They did a great job,” said Brooker, whose assistants were Scottie Kilgore, Brad Dunn and Emily’s father Greg Boyd. “I was just a small part of it.” Red Bank seeks coach Red Bank is currently accepting applications for the head volleyball coaching position.

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.

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. “Coach Jones and his staff are doing a good job of showing Vonn he’s a priority.

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. “I definitely want to do 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.” Georgia coach Mark Richt also would have nothing to gain from playing Clemson on a Monday, since the Bulldogs would 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 said he felt the Mustangs should win the sectional, despite their history, with the way they had been bowling. Briton Helton “They’re really rolling well, and they rolled with heart today,” Anderson agreed. “Our goal coming into the season was to peak at tournament time, and they’ve rolled some of their best matches in this postseason. They’re really rolling together as a team.” At Columbia’s Galaxy Lanes, senior Tim Keyser and his brother Jacob went 200-279 and 202-259 before six reserves bowled the third game for Columbia (19-0).

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.” Undefeated ColumBrendon bia Central Baker beat SoddyDaisy 23-4 in Columbia, but the Trojans’ Tanner Johnson takes a 222.37 regular-season game average into the individual state that starts Thursday 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 to finish it, and to have these guys going to help me makes it really special.” 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.” Contact Gene Henley at [email protected] or 423-757-6311.

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 Pats crash land again The Associated Press Falcons • Continued from Page C1 see his son, or promise to fly his son to Atlanta. Make him an offer he can’t refuse, because the Falcons’ chances of reaching the Super Bowl shrink considerably without him. And to end any uncertainty about retirement next year, call a news conference in August to announce this will definitely be Gonzo’s final season, much as Chipper Jones did with the Braves before the 2012 baseball campaign. As for the rest of the team, a 49ers fan called me Monday to say the Falcons “aren’t mean enough on defense.” 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 Associated Press Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sits on the field after getting hit during the second half of New England’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. championship teams. “That whole era is over with. It’s gone,” defensive end Rob Ninkovich said. “This is a whole new team. This is a different bunch of guys, so we all have to experience it and learn for ourselves what that’s like.” Ryan to miss Pro Bowl coach Mark Duffner and receivers coach Jerry Sullivan will stay on for the team’s rebuilding process. Duffner joined the Jaguars in 2006 and long has been considered one of the franchise’s top assistants. Sullivan came out of semi-retirement last season and was instrumental in the development of young receivers Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts III. Duffner has 38 years of coaching experience, including 16 in the NFL. Sullivan has 40 years of coaching experience, including 20 in the NFL. Greeson • Continued from Page C1 with three weeks of excellence. No one except Jeremy Lin has added more value and prestige in less than a month. And he’s one more big win from forcing Baltimore to break the bank and gamble the future with 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 back, taking a very un-superstar role of run-blocking and decoy patterns and keeping his act together for a chance to win his first Super Bowl. The New York Times had a story last week about Randy Moss, the role model. Side note: I have a theory that Randy Moss could be football’s Kevin Bacon — that every NFL player could be linked within Six Degrees of Separation from Moss. ■ Have you heard that Ray Lewis is going to retire? Sure ally I played for the Ravens. Great respect for their organization. ... The curse part would be the talk of two brothers playing in the Super Bowl and what that takes away from the players that are in the game. Every moment that you’re talking about myself or John, that’s less time that the players are going to be talked about.” wish they had informed the 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). Contact Jay Greeson at [email protected] or 423-757-6273. At Flowery Branch, Ga., the Falcons said quarterback Matt Ryan sprained his left shoulder in the closing minutes of the loss to San Francisco and won’t be able to play in Sunday’s Pro Bowl. Coach Mike Smith said Ryan will need three to four weeks to recover from the Eagles hiring Shurmur injury, which was described At Philadelphia, former as a sprained AC joint to the Browns coach Pat Shurmur non-throwing shoulder.

He went 9-23 in two assistants from previous seasons in Cleveland. He was fired along with general manregimes. Bradley said linebackers ager Tom Heckert on Dec. 31. 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. Contact Mark Wiedmer at mwiedmer@timesfreepress. com 35216400 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. Belichick, of course, will be back. “Yeah. I’ll be here. You’ll have to deal with me again next year,” the coach, known for revealing little to reporters, said in a rare lighthearted moment during his season-ending news conference. “I know that’s disappointing for a lot of you. Until I’m told otherwise, I plan on being here.” Belichick, the NFL’s longest tenured coach, is looking ahead to his 14th season with the Patriots. He led them to Super Bowl wins in his second, fourth and fifth seasons — but none since. Only Brady and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork remain from any of those become the first siblings to square off from opposite sidelines when their teams play for the NFL championship at the Superdome. Not that they’re too keen on playing up the storyline. “Well, I think it’s a blessing and a curse,” Jim Harbaugh said Monday. “A blessing because that is my brother’s team. And, also, person- ... .

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. What songwriter can leave a halfwritten song in his computer and Dalton stumble to the Roberts table and start eatCommentary 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.

Tower of Terror attractio CHATTANOOGANS 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. Kanerva served in the Attractions segment, spend- Contributed ing much of her time as a hostess at the Magic Kingdom’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride. Michelle Brooks, a senior math major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga who interned with the program at roughly the same time Kanerva did, worked in the Entertainment sector. Her job was primarily to play the role of Disney characters, but the company prefers that employees — who are called “cast members” whether they play characters or serve food — do not reveal which characters they played. “I encountered everything,” See DISNEY, Page D6 “ Photo It’s unbelievable how large the company is. 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. ” — Michelle Brooks, senior at UTC and former Disney intern See ROBERTS, Page D6 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).

Universal Press Syndicate HEALTH 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. FAITH 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 McClatchy Newspapers Elizabeth Dixon, wellness director at Chick-fil-A, has started a blog at www.biteanelephant.com (not affiliated with Chick-fil-A) to help people follow through and achieve their goals. 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? c.

Expect slip-ups, she said, adding that it’s inevitable. “So what? You slipped up. You 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.

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 Lifehacker.com Contributed Photo Haven Burns, to the right of Minnie Mouse, joins some of her fellow Disney College Program workers during the 1989 season. The values of magic even 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 off duty, Brooks says, she would see a family and offer to make a photo. “They’ve saved their whole lives to go to Disney World,” she says. “As an employee, I felt the pride in Walt Disney MAGICAL MOMENTS World.

Fig takes an approach similar to our one-minute form. On top of the usual, “exercise 30 minutes a day,” you find in most health trackers, Fig also tosses in the ability to track how much caffeine you have in the afternoon, if you use electronics before bed, and even if you’re keeping up on social obligations. Simply add an activity you want to complete to you day, and check it off as you do it.

GET FIT ■ “Body by You: The You Are Your Own Gym Guide to Total Women’s Fitness” (on sale for $11.68 at Target), written by Mark Lauren and Joshua Clark, is a practical workout guide depicting more than 100 exercises that you can perform at home without machines or weights, right down to basics like lunges and squats. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lauren, he is a man fully capable of whipping you into shape. In addition to being a personal trainer for civilians, this fitness guru is a military physical training specialist for Special Operations. ■ Another way to get fit: walking. Michele Stanten, formerly the fitness director at Prevention magazine, has created a daily walking program that will have you slimmed down and in better shape in just three months. The regimen is detailed in “Walk Your Butt Off! Go from Sedentary to Slim in 12 Weeks With this Breakthrough Walking Plan” ($12.51 at Barnes & Noble), a book Stanten wrote with Sarah Lorge Butler and Leslie 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.” As part of her duties at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and their then-star tours, Fig app gives full view of your health Roberts By Thorin Klosowski 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.” Books you can see how your activities relate to each other (for example, you have a bad night of sleep when you don’t drink enough water throughout the day). For the socially minded, you can also cheer on friends or share your day with others, but it’s not required.

Now, Burns takes her three children to the resort once or twice a year. “I know my way around,” she says. “I point out [how things were] when we were there. Now, the most important thing is avoiding the crowds, picking the off-times.” 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 rest of my life.” Contact staff writer Clint Cooper at ccooper@ timesfreepress.com or 423757-6497.

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. ■ If you routinely leave the grocery store thinking you’ve paid way more than you should have for your weekly meals, check out the “Budget Savvy Diva’s Guide to Slashing Your Grocery Bill by 50% or More: Secret Tricks and Clever Tips for Eating Great and Saving Money” ($9.35 at Amazon). Author Sara Lundberg writes the Budget Savvy Diva blog, and she’s an expert when it comes to slashing food costs. Her book, which is available from Amazon for preorder and ships Feb. 5, provides a ton of useful advice, including how to get the most out of coupons and where to find unexpected bargains in your local grocery store.
