The Preserve, also called Wild Moon Ranch, was a more-than-2,000-acre rural retreat for the late Dr. Joe W. Johnson Jr., of Chattanooga, until his death in 1986. The land was sold to another family but kept intact. Then a real estate development company called Southern Group met with those owners and began marketing the property as a mini-Pigeon Forge in this corner of North Georgia. Land sales were booming, and the promised amenities made the 3-acre lots all the more attractive in 2006. A grand entryway complete with an office and guard shack was built. Rows of trees were planted along the paved roads. A couple of modern cabinlike homes were built, with wide decks overlooking fishing ponds and manmade, stepped waterfalls.

SPANNING HISTORY CHATTANOOGANS GATHER TO CELEBRATE BRIDGE’S ANNIVERSARY Alexander out on limb over Internet sales tax By Chris Carroll Washington Bureau WASHINGTON — Known as an elder statesman among Tennessee politicians, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander easily snatched up all the House members he wanted to support his 2014 re-election campaign. But many of those same conservative allies are ambivalent or even critical of the former governor’s top legislative priority. Alexander is shepherding an unusual bill for a keep-taxes-low Volunteer State Republican. The Marketplace Fairness Act would allow states to force Internet retailers to do what brick-and-mortar businesses have done for ages: Collect sales taxes on every transaction and give the money to state and local governments. By Lindsay Burkholder Staff Writer U nder unexpectedly blue skies, members of the Howard High School Band lined up in their signature crimson and gold uniforms, ready to march across the Walnut Street Bridge on Sunday. Chattanooga groups and residents turned out in force to walk in the parade celebrating the 20th anniversary of the bridge’s reopening as a linear park. The bridge itself hummed along to the celebration of its rebirth as the beams and planks vibrated from the drums’ deep percussion. “It’s all about beautifying the city and bringing people together,” said Nina Jones Chapin, who helped orchestrate the many groups taking part in the day’s festivities, put on by the Parks Foundation.

But a new, futuristic “arms race” is afoot that could turn the politics of gun control on its head. One side wants to use technology to make guns safer; the other wants to make them much more widely available. “Smart guns,” which are digitally personalized so only their owners can fire them, sound like the stuff of a spy movie — indeed, the concept showed up last year in the James Bond film “Skyfall” with his beloved Walther PPK/S 9 mm short. But guns like Bond’s could be on the market soon. And 3-D printers that can produce gun parts sound like something out of “Star Trek” — an object seemingly materializing out of thin air.

Aime Navello said Sunday that the couple followed French tradition when he married them at the Mazan town hall Saturday. Navello read the service in French, and the couple responded in French and English. He said about 10 people were present. Righton is keyboard player for the rock group Klaxons. He and Knightley got engaged a year ago. Knightley first won notice for her role as a soccer-playing teenager in “Bend It Like Beckham.” She went on to star in the first three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and was nominated for an Oscar for playing Elizabeth Bennet in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” The Associated Press Keira Knightley The Associated Press John Krasinski and Brian Baumgartner chest bump as they are introduced during “The Office” wrap party at PNC Field on Saturday in Scranton, Pa.

Fans flock to Scranton for ‘The Office’ farewell By Michael Rubinkam The Associated Press SCRANTON, Pa. — The actors who play Pam, Jim, Dwight and other beloved characters from the popular NBC show “The Office” bade farewell on Saturday to the northeastern Pennsylvania city of Scranton that served as the TV setting for their fictional paper company. The NBC mockumentary about a clan of quirky cubicledwellers at the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. wraps up May 16 after nine seasons, and a crowd estimated at 10,000 attended a “Wrap Party” in Scranton to show their appreciation. Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson and other stars rode in classic convertibles and posed for hundreds of photos as fans thronged around them. The stars later took the stage in front of the Lackawanna County Courthouse and played a concert with The Scrantones, the band that performed the show’s theme song. While the comedy was shot in California, it made liberal use of props from Scranton and referenced plenty of real-life landmarks, from Cooper’s Seafood House and Poor Richard’s pub to Lake Wallenpaupack and the Lackawanna County Coal Mine Tour.

Giffords, who was seriously wounded in a 2011 shooting, and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, have been lobbying for more gun control legislation. Alluding to her disappointment in the failure of Congress to pass gun control legislation, she said, “I believe we all have courage inside. I just wish there was more courage in Congress.” Auction includes Armstrong EKG The Associated Press AMHERST, N.H. — A New Hampshire auction house soon will accept bids on space and aviation artifacts, including an electrocardiogram of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong’s heartbeat taken when he first set foot on the moon.

Will Downey suit up again after $175 million ‘Iron Man’ haul? By David Germain The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Iron Man reigns as the standard-bearer of Hollywood superheroes with a $175.3 million domestic opening weekend for his latest sequel and an overseas haul of a halfbillion dollars in less than two weeks. According to studio estimates Sunday, “Iron Man 3” has raced to a worldwide total of $680.1 million. That includes $175.9 million in its second weekend overseas, where the film has rung up $504.8 million so far. No other solo superhero — not even Batman or SpiderMan — has managed this kind of business. Yet the future of Marvel Studios’ flagship franchise is in the hands of a mortal man with no metal armor, gadgets or special powers, other than his ability to rebound from Hollywood pariah to hottest star on the planet. “Iron Man 3” hints that Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark might hang up his high-tech suits and live a normal life from now on. As the centerpiece behind not only the “Iron Man” flicks but also Marvel’s superhero ensemble “The Avengers,” Downey seems crucial to this comic-book world. Could Disney’s Marvel Studios conjure anywhere near the same magic if it relaunched “Iron Man” with another actor? Without Downey, would the upcoming “Avengers” sequel have quite the same appeal as last year’s record-grossing first installment? “Your guess is as good as mine,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “Marvel has found a way to tell interesting stories with a variety of characters over time, and it will continue to do so.” “Iron Man 3” had the secondbiggest domestic debut ever, behind the $207.4 million start over the same weekend last year for “The Avengers,” which teamed Downey’s Stark with other Marvel Comics heroes. The new sequel surpassed the $169.2 million opening for 2011’s “Harry Potter” finale, the previous second-place debut.

Reactions to this place — the test site of the world’s first atomic bomb blast on July 16, 1945 — vary widely and are usually influenced by age and background. For a 65-year-old Californian, it summons images of having to hunker below her school desk in a drill during the Cold War. For a 79-year-old Texan, it conjures up memories of sitting next to the radio as joyous news arrived — World War II was over and the boys were finally coming home. Later, her reactions became more complicated, when she heard about the atomic carnage from her Japanese-born daughter-in-law. For many younger Americans, it’s a tourist spot. For a local scientist, it’s a geological wonderland. The place is only open to the public two days a year, and thousands flocked to the site one Saturday last month. The Trinity Site features a stone monument, a replica of the “Fat Man” bomb that devastated Nagasaki, Japan, and about a dozen historical photos strung along a chain-link fence. At times, the visitors are more interesting than the site itself. “You’ll see people from such diverse backgrounds,” said Jim Eckles, now a volunteer after serving about 30 years as a spokesman for the White Sands Missile Range, which surrounds the Trinity Site in southern New Mexico. “You’ll see a motorcycle gang, schoolchildren with their school projects. They’re all here.” The site has seen protesters — Buddhist monks The Associated Press The Associated Press/National Atomic Musem Replicas of Little Boy, left, and Fat Man, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II, are part of the exhibit at Albuquerque’s National Atomic Museum. from Hiroshima — and even those waiting for an alien encounter. “We stood here and waited for the aliens to land,” Eckles joked. “They never came.” During the most recent open house April 6, two film crews — one from Russia, one from the Travel Channel — shot images of the memorial and the thousands who visited. Maliza Cox leaned on her cane and looked up at a replica of Fat Man. “None of us knew how bad it really was,” Cox said of the two bombs detonated over Japan in August 1945. Summing up how the bomb was portrayed in news reports at the time, she said, “It was a big bomb, and it was not like any other bomb we had before, and it ended the war. It was a good thing.” Cox, who grew up in the Mississippi Delta, remembered how she and her cousins sat on the floor next to the radio just a few days later, listening as the announcer reported the war was over. “It still gives me the chills,” she said. Later her son would marry a woman who grew up in Tokyo, and told her mother-in-law about the bomb’s horrifying effects on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “To me ... a lot of it is devastation,” Takami Cox said of what the site means to her. She accompanied her mother-in-law to the site, noticing how sparse the monument was — different, she said, from the images of burned people and melted glass at an atomic memorial back home. “I hope the American people know the other side of the story, too,” she said. 60,000 bees invade cabin WORCESTER, Mass. — The uncle of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev arrived in Massachusetts on Sunday to arrange for his burial, saying he understands that “no one wants to associate their names with such evil events.” Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery Village, Md., and three of his friends met with the Worcester funeral home director and prepared to wash and shroud Tsarnaev’s body according to Muslim tradition. The 26-year-old died after a gunbattle with police April 19. Funeral director Peter Stefan said he hasn’t been able to find a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to take the body. He said he plans to ask the city of Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, to provide a burial plot, and if Cambridge turns him down, he will seek help from state officials. Tsarni told reporters that he is arranging for Tsarnaev’s burial because religion and tradition call for his nephew to be buried. He would like him buried in Massachusetts because he’s lived in the state for the last decade, he said. The Associated Press WWII veteran, 88, receives Purple Heart The Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — As Army soldier Charles Bledsoe was being loaded onto a Jeep with a gunshot wound to the abdomen nearly 70 years ago, he heard someone say, “Give him his last rites.” “I looked around to see who that was getting the last rites,” Bledsoe recalled. “I went, ‘The hell.’ It was me.” Bledsoe recovered, but the April 19, 1945, wound was never recorded on his discharge papers so he hadn’t received a Purple Heart. The oversight was corrected Wednesday, as U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., presented the 88-year-old World War II veteran with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star during a ceremony at the Sioux Falls VA hospital. “Thank you, Senator, for getting it right,” said Bledsoe, who moved to Sioux Falls after the war and now lives at the VA. “It’s the first time it’s ever been right.” hand washed rug cleaning 80 YEARS EXPERIENCE repairs and restoration Pick Up And Delivery Available The Associated Press Beekeeper Vic Bachman, left, and partner Nate Hall remove a 12-foot-long beehive from an A-frame cabin in Eden, Utah. 423-475-5222 917 East 16th Street Chattanooga, TN WWW.PERSIANRUGTRADER.COM cleaner to suck the bees into a cage. “It doesn’t hurt them,” he said.

Utah calls itself the Beehive state, a symbol of industriousness. Whether this was Utah’s largest beehive is unknown, but Bachman said it would rank high. “It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I’ve never seen one that big.” He used smoke to pacify the bees, but Bachman said honeybees are gentle creatures unlike predatory yellow jackets or hornets, which attack, rip apart and eat honeybees, he said.

Bachman was called to the A-frame cabin last month in Eden, Utah. Taking apart a panel that hid roof rafters, he had no idea he would find honeycombs packed 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 16 inches deep. The honeybees had been making the enclosed cavity their home since 1996, hardly bothering the homeowners. The cabin was rarely used, but when the owners needed to occupy it while building another home nearby, they decided the beehive wasn’t safe for their two children. A few bees had found their way inside the house, and the hive was just outside a window of a children’s bedroom. They didn’t want to kill the honeybees, a species in decline that does yeoman’s work pollinating flowers and crops. So they called Bachman, owner of Deseret Hive Supply, a hobbyist store that can’t keep up with demand for honeybees. Bachman used a vacuum .. timesfreepress.com .. Breaking News: 423-757-News Obama tells grads to reject anti-government talk • Continued from Page A1 Or, in Alexander’s words, give states the option to get “a tax that is already owed.” But leading fiscal conservatives, including U.S. Reps. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Tom Graves of Georgia, describe it as the scourge of small-government advocates: a new tax. “The last thing we should do is raise new taxes on hardworking Americans who are already struggling in the Obama economy,” Graves said last week. Meanwhile, Blackburn put it bluntly: “There’s nothing fair about the Marketplace Fairness Act.” As the 72-year-old Alexander attempts to dissuade potential tea party challengers in his bid for re-election, in-state opposition to his pet bill may undermine claims that he can still get things done and satisfy an increasingly conservative Tennessee electorate. “Is it a liability for Alexander? It’s not clear what the public thinks on this,” Vanderbilt University political science professor Joshua Clinton said. “As a challenger, you may get some traction in the Republican primary.” Alexander has no challengers to date. To help keep it that way, he added every Tennessee Republican House member (except scandal-plagued U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais) to his campaign team late last year. So far they aren’t helping him on this one. “We have no formal position on the legislation at this time,” said Tiffany McGuffie, a spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Phil Roe. The bill is expected to pass the Senate this week; earlier this year, a test vote garnered 75 supporters. But in the House, where a tea party philosophy reigns, the Marketplace Fairness Act faces an uphill battle if Alexander’s own delegation is any indication. “We don’t need the federal government mandating additional taxes on Tennessee families and businesses,” Blackburn said. “The American people have been taxed enough.” PUSHING BACK During a Chattanooga visit Wednesday, Alexander said the Internet sales tax measure is not a tax increase, but simply a means of collecting taxes already due but rarely paid. “It’s a matter of collecting tax from those who aren’t paying it,” Alexander told reporters. Conservatives are split over the tax measure. The American Conservative Union, the American Majority, Americans for Job Security, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer and House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have all endorsed the Marketplace Fairness Act. But the bill is opposed by anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus and Internet retailer eBay, among others. “Most conservatives favor states’ rights,” Alexander said Wednesday. “This bill is about allowing Gov. [Bill] Haslam and the Tennessee Legislature to decide whether they want to require outof-state sellers to collect the 59 Rising Fawn 11 IjW\\=hWf^_YXoBWkhWM$CYDkjj FAMILY LAND Staff Photos by Todd South Rumley looks over The Preserve in Rising Fawn, Ga.

Instead, it has brought a lot of misery. ■■■ Today, about 500 acres of the land is a mix of undeveloped plots either in foreclosure or owned by individuals whose taxes are current. A 435-acre chunk, onefifth of the land, was donated to the Georgia Land Trust by banks looking to get out of the tangle the property had become, said Bobby Davenport, development director for the trust. Much of that land contains cave systems that filter water used for drinking by county residents. There’s Civil War history to the property, too. Davenport said Union troops marched through the land and up Lookout Mountain to battle Confederate soldiers. An estimated 1,200 acres, more than half of the property, is under control of the bankruptcy trustee, Jerrold Farinash, said Shields. Court records show that T.A.S. Properties moved from a voluntary bankruptcy known as a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7, which ceded much of the control of assets to the trustee last year. Rumley said in March that Farinash told people involved that the property would be sold in the coming months. The trustee could not be reached for comment. The deadline for claims in the bankruptcy has been set for May 13. In bankruptcy filings the land is valued at $5.5 million. But with lots that formerly sold for between $145,000 and $250,000 now valued at $20,000, what the land can bring is anyone’s guess, many said. Development could still be a possibility. Win Pratt, president of local real estate developer Pratt & Associates, said that in such a situation he would meet with all the people owed money who have a stake in the unsold lots. When a property gets a bad reputation because of bankruptcy or other problems, Pratt said, a reputable developer needs to assess what’s the total cost to gain control of the project. Pratt is not involved with The Preserve, but he offered general comments on such developments. Once a developer has reached agreements with all of the lienholders, he or she can begin marketing the property, he said. New sales could begin within six months or less, he said, but selling all of the lots, building homes and completing the work could take as long as a decade. ■■■ Despite the criminal convictions, Shields blamed the development’s failure on the recession that began in 2008. Until the trustee took over, Shields said, he had an interested buyer and had hoped a land sale might clear all the debts. “We’re still doing what we can,” he said. Even when the bankruptcy ends, more people are waiting. Vincent and Ann Mihalik, of Virginia, bought three par- cels after visiting the land. They’ve remained current on their payments and taxes, said their Atlanta-based attorney, Scott Kuperberg. The couple sued Southern Group for not honoring development promises that now make the land they bought for $300,000 nearly worthless. Last year a judge ruled in their favor and awarded them nearly $11 million in damages. Though there’s still much left to be resolved, Rumley is confident that the property eventually will be developed. “It’s too good a piece of property not to.” Contact staff writer Todd South at tsouth@timesfree press.com or 423-757-6347.

You should reject these voices.” Ohio State graduates, their families and friends turned the university’s huge football stadium into a sea of red and gray, the school’s colors. Obama noted it was his fifth visit to the campus in the past year, reflecting the importance of Ohio and young voters to his re-election in November. But this was the president’s first trip here in his young second term, which has already faced setbacks in Congress over the budget and legislation to reduce gun violence.

Both technologies could change how Americans view firearms — and make moot some laws now in effect or under debate. “There is the potential for changing the whole balance” of the gun debate, said William Vizzard, professor emeritus of criminal justice at Sacramento State and a former agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. PRINTING GUNS A 3-D printer turns a digital model into an object by laying down tiny, successive layers of material, usually plastic, that harden into place. Cody Wilson, a 25year-old University of Texas law student, has made it a personal crusade to use the technology for firearms. He aims to produce and publish online a completely printable plastic gun and then adapt the design for use on printers that are getting smaller and less expensive all the time. “Guns are a human right that can never be taken away,” Wilson said, “and everything else is just legislative dross.” The ability to make your own gun could neuter established laws, such as background checks or possibly even assault weapons bans. Skeptics question whether 3-D-printed parts can withstand the heat and pressure of firearms. But Wilson says his printed mechanism for an AR-15-style .223-caliber rifle — America’s most popular style of semi-automatic rifle and the kind used in mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn. — fired 660 rounds with no problem. A whole gun isn’t far off, he said. Stratasys, the Minnesota company that makes Wilson’s printer, would not comment on the new use of its product. Wilson certainly isn’t the only one doing it. Amateur gunsmiths Michael Guslick, of Wisconsin, and Chapman Baetzel, of New Hampshire, have been blogging since summer about their experiments with printed parts for various rifles and pistols. And they’re just the ones who’ve gone public with their work. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a Newtown-based gun industry trade group, says 3-D printing shouldn’t be a public safety concern because it’s easier for criminals to steal guns or buy them on the black market. The National Rifle Association did not return emails and calls seeking comment. But Vizzard said it will be interesting to see whether the NRA sides with gunmakers, who presumably want people to buy guns rather Photo by Matt Fields-Johnson Forrest Lewis lifts Hannah Locke, both of Ballet Tennessee, while walking in the Walnut Street Bridge parade Sunday. their children, but dogs are family, too,” she said, standing next to Bentley, a giant goldendoodle wearing a poncho and sombrero for Cinco de Mayo. “We love this bridge.” But this beloved icon of the city, which so many people worked hard to save, has a dark past. The bridge’s early days were an era of deep racial divide. City records document at least two black men being lynched from its span. “This bridge, just like the city of Chattanooga, has a checkered past in terms of racial disparity,” said City Councilman Chris Anderson, whose District 7 includes the bridge. But Anderson said the structure now symbolizes citywide efforts to join together the different com- munities of Chattanooga. “[It’s] a symbol of the city,” he said. “We’re [bringing] two areas together, and that’s what we’re doing all over. We’re bridging gaps.” C h a tt a n o o ga n s h ave reclaimed the bridge as a place for new and brighter memories. It is now a go-to spot for proposals, family outings and special events such as the annual Wine Over Water fundraiser benefiting the historic preservation group Cornerstones. Bethyn Merrick-Nguyen, who moved here in December, said the bridge is her favorite feature of the city. “I love it in the morning and in the afternoon and at night,” she said. Merrick-Nguyen remembers running down the bridge on New Year’s Eve, just minutes before the clock struck midnight, to watch the fireworks over the river. “We kept dashing from one side to the other to see the fireworks,” she said, “and we broke open a bottle of champagne. It was a classic spot for a classic holiday.” Contact staff writer Lindsay Burkholder at lburkholder @timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6592.

Chattanooga’s government closed the bridge in 1978, deeming it unsafe for further vehicular use. But a number of Chattanoogans spoke up to save it from demolition and to restore it. “This was a project that started many years ago when a group of citizens went to the city of Chattanooga and said, ‘Please don’t tear this down,’” said Becky Browder, a part of the original committee formed to save the bridge. “We all feel that this is one of the greatest renovations this city has ever done.” Parade participants included the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Choo Choo Train, which proudly chugged across the river behind Bike Chattanooga members. DOGood volunteers followed with their costumed doggy companions, some wearing tutus and others a variety of wacky headgear.

Wilson said he’s working with lawyers to avoid running afoul of the latter law, but Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., on April 10 introduced House Resolution 1474 to renew and expand the 1988 law to include specific parts like those Wilson and his peers are producing. “We must stay ahead of the curve to keep high-security areas safe from terrorists and criminals that can circumvent not only gun safety laws, but security checkpoints as well,” Israel said. “Law enforcement officials should have the power to stop homemade undetectable magazines and major components from proliferating with a simple click of a print button.” SMART GUNS Wilson’s chicken-inevery-pot, gun-in-every-hand ethos isn’t exactly what those developing smart guns have in mind. They hope to prevent the tragedies that occur when guns end up in children’s hands, or misuse by anyone other than rightful owners. If Nancy Lanza had owned smart guns that weren’t coded for her son’s use, the argument goes, he couldn’t have used them to massacre schoolchildren in Newtown. Attorney Charles Miller, an officer and director of Safe Gun Technology in Columbus, Ga., is about to pitch a proposal for investments in his company to the Sandy Hook Promise Innovation Initiative, a project launched in March to enlist Silicon Valley technologists and investors in developing profitable, high-tech ways to quell gun violence. Miller’s company has a prototype shotgun with a fingerprint-based mechanism and plans to develop a kit for use by trained gunsmiths to retrofit existing guns. Just as automakers and buyers embraced seat belts and air bags as desirable safety measures, Miller said “a lot of gun owners will put it on their weapons” because it’s “ultimately about trying to save lives.” A Fresh Take On News 35669845 .. timesfreepress.com .. International IRANIAN MISSILES CONCERN ISRAEL The Associated Press Los Angeles Times JERUSALEM — With three airstrikes on targets in Syria since January, Israel is inserting itself into the Arab Spring’s most intractable conflict, heightening fears that the civil war could spiral into a regional conflagration. But as some confirmed Israel’s involvement in Sunday’s attack against a Syrian weapons facility outside Damascus, Israeli officials insisted their goals in Syria are narrow, and portrayed the engagement as defensive and largely unrelated to the fighting between rebel groups and the regime of President Bashar Assad. Rather than trying to weaken Assad or tilt the scales for either side, Israelis say they have an eye past Syria’s 2-year-old conflict and toward the next war they expect to face against the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The aim, they say, is to prevent Syria’s advanced weapons from being transferred to Lebanon. “We are not taking sides and we’re not interested in interfering in the internal affairs of Syria,” said a senior Israeli government official who was not authorized to speak publicly because Israel’s military has not confirmed its role in the attacks. “But we have to make sure these weapons do not fall into the hands of Hezbollah because the minute that happens it will be hard to track and monitor them,” the official said. ”That’s the only reason we interfered. If we don’t take action now, we will be on the receiving end of those missiles. We have to act to guarantee our security, and that applies to Syria and Iran.“ The official acknowledged Israel’s role in the recent attacks but would not specify the targets. He said Sunday’s attack prevented Hezbollah from adding a new kind of missile capability to its arsenal. Israeli and American media reports have suggested the target was a weapons facility holding either Iranian-made Fateh-110 surface-to-surface missiles or their Syrian-made counterpart, the M600. Israelis noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned that transferring chemical or advanced weapons to Hezbollah would be a red line as far Israel is concerned. But that does not appear to have deterred Assad or Hezbollah from seeking to transfer such weapons, Israelis say. Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, a former Israeli military intelligence chief, praised the government for taking a firm stance Hungary fights rise in anti-Semitism The Associated Press Upgraded surface-to-surface Fateh-110 missiles sit at an undisclosed location, in Tehran, Iran, in 2010. WHAT IS THE FATEH-110? The Fateh-110, or “Conqueror” in Farsi, is a short-range ballistic missile developed by Iran and first put into service in 2002. The Islamic Republic unveiled an upgraded version last year that improved the weapon’s accuracy and increased its range to 185 miles. Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said at the time that the solidfueled missile could strike with precision, making it the most accurate weapon of its kind in Iran’s arsenal. WHY ARE THE MISSILES IMPORTANT? BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s prime minister told an international assembly of Jews on Sunday that his government has declared “zero tolerance” on anti-Semitism, but his speech failed to impress those gathered who said he has failed to confront the country’s largest far-right party. Addressing the opening session of the World Jewish Congress, Prime Minister Viktor Orban acknowledged that antiSemitism was on the rise both in Europe and Hungary, attributing it partly to the economic crisis affecting the region. “Anti-Semitism is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated,” Orban told some 600 delegates at the meeting, adding that it was his government’s “moral duty to declare zero tolerance on anti-Semitism.” While delegates applauded some parts of Orban’s speech Sunday, the WJC was also quick to express its disappointment that he had not specifically talked about the country’s Israel worries the missiles could be transferred to Lebanon’s Hezbollah, providing a major boost to the Shiite militant group’s arsenal. The Fateh-110 is more accurate than anything Hezbollah is currently known to possess. Israel and Hezbollah fought a monthlong war in mid-2006 that ended in a stalemate. The missile would put almost all of Israel in range, and its precision guidance system poses a threat to Israeli infrastructure and military installations. on its red line and said Syria is becoming the battleground for the latest escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, with backing from Iran. “One can argue that Syria is only involved geographically,” said Yadlin, now director of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. ”These are Iranian weapons going to Lebanon.“ Yadlin said Israel’s attempt to limit its targets to Hezbollah-bound weapons and to avoid overt attacks against Assad and his forces may reduce the pressure on both Assad and Hezbollah to retaliate. “It enables Syrians to say this isn’t our business and enables Hezbollah to decide they weren’t the one attacked. Both sides can go into a zone of deniability.” But he acknowledged that Israel is taking a risk that Syria, Iran or Hezbollah might strike back. “Strategically Israel is walking a very fine line here,” he said. ”There is a risk of creating a conflict in the north with Syria that is not in Israel’s interest.“ WE BUY GOLD, SILVER, & DIAMONDS We will give you the best price the first time.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said Sunday that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s air defense systems were not impenetrable. Israel in recent days has launched airstrikes targeting a shipment of advanced missiles believed to be headed for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. McCain says Syria crossed another “red line” in transferring weapons to U.S. foes. McCain, however, is not advocating U.S. ground forces go into Syria to secure the weapons. Instead, he says, the United States should use its military might from afar. third biggest political force, the far-right Jobbik party, whose politicians in parliament have made numerous anti-Semitic statements. “The prime minister did not confront the true nature of the problem — the threat posed by the anti-Semites in general and by the extreme-right Jobbik party in particular,” the WJC said in a statement. “We regret that Mr. Orban did not address any recent anti-Semitic or racist incidents in the country, nor did he provide sufficient reassurance that a clear line has been drawn between his government and the far-right fringe.” Orban’s government, which has been criticized by the European Union and the United States for weakening democratic standards by, for example, overriding court decisions with its two-thirds majority in parliament, has recently tightened laws on hate speech and has banned the use of Nazi and communist symbols in certain instances. 35648075 35648075 Israel tries to weaken Hezbollah is Moth Su nd er’s ay, Da Ma y y1 2 It’s all about Mom!

The Political Isolation Law could lead to the dismissal of many current leaders, some of whom had defected to the rebel side during the country’s 2011 civil war or had been elected to office since Gadhafi’s ouster and killing. The move is also likely to further stall the country’s already rocky transition to democracy by ousting elected lawmakers. It injects a new dose of uncertainty into Libyan politics during a still-fragile transition. Liberals say it will give a boost to Islamists, who performed poorly in recent elections compared to their counterparts in other Arab states, although Islamists said they could also be affected by the ban. The law was partially driven by the unpopularity of Libya’s current crop of politicians among many of the still-powerful former rebels who toppled Gadhafi, and others who say little has improved since. Backers of the law say it is necessary to complete the revolution. But critics say the law was passed at gunpoint, as militias have surrounded several government buildings in Tripoli for the past several days barring officials from work. Their vehicles mounted with rocketpropelled grenades kept watch on the street during the vote. Most of the militias have roots in the rebel groups that fought Gadhafi, but they have mushroomed in the two years since his fall. Many of the armed groups have been accused of rights abuses, but the government continues to rely on them to keep order in the absence of a strong police or military. Many militiamen say they mostly want jobs and steady pay. North Korea: American not bargaining chip Scared of Heights? GET LEAFGUARD® AND YOU’LL NEVER HAVE TO CLIMB TO CLEAN CLOGGED GUTTERS AGAIN. New York Times News Service Here’s why more and more homeowners are switching to LeafGuard: 35612205 SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Sunday that it would not use an imprisoned U.S. citizen as a political bargaining chip, rejecting the possibility of allowing any prominent Americans to visit the North to request the prisoner’s release, as it had in similar cases in the past. The United States has called for the immediate release of the man, Kenneth Bae, a KoreanAmerican who was sentenced last week to 15 years of hard labor for committing “hostile acts” against the North. Bae, 44, was arrested in the northeastern North Korean city of Rason in November after leading a group of businessmen there from Yanji, China. The North’s refusal to release him adds a new source of tension in the relationship between the U.S. and North Korea as Washington tries to hold a tough line with the North over its nuclear program. North Korea “has no plan to invite anyone of the U.S. as regards the issue,” a spokesman for the North Korean Foreign Ministry said Sunday. • A unique, patented system that’s built to stay clog-free. • The only seamless, one-piece leaf protection gutter system on the market. • Expert installation and personal service from an established local businessman.

Lady of the light W hen Raudy Maxwell graduated from Auburn University in 1994, he never dreamed where he would be now. “I graduated as pre-med, and here I am creating primitive folk art and mannequin lamps,” says Maxwell, laughing. Maxwell, originally from Perryville, Ark., makes oneof-a-kind mannequin lamps. The name is self-descriptive, but what Maxwell does is find mannequins, clean them up, wire a light into the hands or wherever he sees fit, and decorate them to a certain theme. Loretta Lynn even has a couple of lamps, Maxwell says. After college Maxwell went into hotel management, working at various places in the South. But the whole time he was creating primitive folk art for family and friends. “Then one day I was at a yard sale and found a couple of mannequins and decided to buy them,” he says. “I didn’t know what to do with them, so I put them in my garage, then one day I was looking at them and decided to make a lamp out of one. After that the idea really took off.” Maxwell’s lamps are something to be seen. Most are in vintage clothes with multicolored wigs and elaborate color palettes. “I think I was born in the wrong time period,” says Maxwell, talking about his love for vintage fashion. Maxwell doesn’t really have any plans to get his art out at the moment but instead is using this time to perfect his craft. “I don’t do this for the fame or fortune,” he says. “I am just a simple country guy, and I have just followed my passion and started doing what I want to do.” STORY AND PHOTO BY CONNOR CHOATE MOMENT is a weekly column by the Times Free Press photo staff that explores the seldom-told stories of our region.

According to finance department records, costs spiked from $1.06 million to $1.51 million, or 42 percent. So far in fiscal year 2013, which ends June 29, the county has spent $1.08 million on gasoline, about $20,000 more than in all of 2010. Had the average mileage for every car been doubled last year, the county would have kept about $750,000. Even a smaller increase in efficiency could bring big savings. Acknowledging that the county’s entire fleet can’t be replaced overnight, Graham said he wants to place fuel standards on future purchases. “That’s what I’m hoping to do, that we set up a standard to say a car has to get X number of miles per gallon before the See GRAHAM, Page B5 Labor employees claim white workers were forced out Herman Prater, right, shows his jersey to Larry “Bear” High, seated left.

Davis, Deputy Commissioner Alisa Malone and former Assistant Administrator Turner Nashe resigned in March, just before an audit exposed the mismanagement of millions of dollars. The department made more than $73 million in fraudulent and improper payments, including some to people who were dead, incarcerated or working for the state, over a period of six years, according to the state audit. In one suit filed in federal court, 27year employee Donald Ingram claims he was one of 28 white employees forced out by Davis, Malone and Nashe, all of whom are black. Records show that in Davis’ first year, she fired 15 executives — only a few state agencies terminated more — but data on the races of those dismissed employees was not immediately available.

BASEBALL MEMORIES Chattanooga Elite Giants to be honored with plaque By Yolanda Putman Staff Writer When Herman Prater and his friends started playing baseball in the back of McCallie Homes in the early 1960s, the field was so rough and littered with rocks that they called it “Rocky Diamond.” But that didn’t stop them. They cleared the rocks by hand and created an infield by sitting on pieces of wood or old mattresses tied to a truck driven by a friendly neighbor. The man’s truck would drag the wood and mattress around the dirt to smooth it out, said Prater. Eventually it began to look like a baseball field, he said. But that was just the beginning. One day as the team was practicing, George Lawson, By Lindsay Burkholder Staff Writer After a short, sunny break Sunday, the weekend’s soggy weather is expected to continue through tonight and maybe even Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. “I don’t think we’ll have any more storms, though” said Nick Austin, meteorologist for WRCB-TV Channel 3. As of 9 p.m. Sunday, the Chattanooga area had received 4.29 inches of rain since the downpour began early Saturday morning. The weekend’s deluge puts the yearto-date total at 31.77 inches, beating the average by more than 12 inches. The storms have caused creeks and rivers to swell over their banks, flooding roads and spilling over dams.

Jack served in the Navy from 1960-1961. After returning from Australia, he met his “true love,” who lived right next door. He married Debbie Fuston in 1965. Having a marriage only most people dream of, their commitment, love, and devotion for each other was nothing short of Heaven. They were married 48 years and had three children who were raised in a loving, Christian home. Fuston Rector and wife Sheila, Coy Rector and wife Tara, Amber Wasdin and husband Will. His whole life was devoted to his family, especially his grandchildren whom he adored — Shelby, Abby, Emma, Brinkley, and Adison Rector, and Jackson and Luke Wasdin. The family home was open to all. Family meals, trips, holidays, watching the Vols, and just being together was his greatest joy. He loved the Lord and loved listening to the Gaithers, which he found to be uplifting and worshipping to his Lord. One of his greatest gifts from God was encouragement. Many times he would make calls to people he hardly knew with a word of encouragement and care. He retired from Chattem Inc. after 35 years of service. He was loved by everyone who knew him, and his smile and sweetness will always remain in our hearts. We so miss you, Doey (Do-Do).

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation runs the Medical Examiner’s Office. The Athens Banner-Herald reported that the audit released by the Department of Audits and Accounts said the GBI acknowledges that such cases may not be reported as required, but they have not taken action to address the issue. The audit, released last week, is a follow-up to one in 2010 that noted local officials were glossing over certain deaths and recommended strengthening state law to require the reporting of all deaths to the state. The new audit said, “GBI acknowledges that such cases may not be reported as required; however, they have not taken action to address the issue.” GBI Director Vernon Keenan sent a letter to the auditor saying, “To date, the more pressing needs of GBI have supplanted the exploration of changes to the Georgia Death Investigation Act.” The audit also found the Medical Examiner’s Office isn’t meeting its target of issuing timely autopsy reports. Keenan wrote that the state did not get 90 percent of its autopsy reports issued within its own 90-day target, but he said the hiring of an additional medical examiner is reducing the backlog. The state’s three medical labs handle nearly 5,000 autopsies each year, and half involve tests for alcohol or illegal drugs, which add to the delays. Local medical examiners in 65 communities handle the rest. County coroners recommend physicians to the state’s chief medical examiner, who makes the formal appointment of the local medical examiners. The audit said many have no background in forensic pathology. Keenan said there aren’t enough pathologists in Georgia to make it a requirement, and the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office says such training is not necessary.

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE Budgets priority for lawmakers By Bob Johnson The Associated Press MONGTGOMERY, Ala. — Passing the education and General Fund budgets is the only task Alabama lawmakers are required to complete in the final three days of the 2013 legislative session and they have made them their priority. The Senate Finance and Taxation-Education Committee chairman said he plans to bring up the education budget Tuesday. Republican Sen. Trip Pittman, of Daphne, said the main areas of disagreement are the size of a pay raise for educators and how much money to set aside to repay money the state has borrowed from a state savings account. House Speaker Mike Hubbard said the session has been successful and most items on the Republican leadership priority list have passed. Lawmakers will return Tuesday and Thursday and then will return for a final day May 20. Pittman’s committee has approved, at his request, a 1 percent raise for educators and a 1 percent bonus if extra money becomes available. He said House members and some senators want the raise to be 2 percent.

Funeral services will be today, at 3 p.m. from Rainsville Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in Mountain View Memory “I’m getting more comfortable with that amount,” Pittman said. House Minority Leader Rep. Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, said he believes the state can afford a 5 percent raise and he will offer an amendment to increase the raise to that amount. He said he would also like to see a 5 percent raise for state employees. Pittman said he was glad that most lawmakers seem to favor the 1 or 2 percent raise and not the larger amount. He said he want to have $75 million paid back to the state savings account out of this budget for the 2014 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. Hubbard said most of the agenda Republican lawmakers established for this session has been approved, with a few items that still must pass one of the two houses. A key agenda item was a bill that allows gun owners to have guns in cars and eases other restriction on carrying weapons. The bill has been approved by both chambers but has gone back to the Senate to review changes made in the House. The House sponsor, Republican Rep. Ed Henry, of Hartselle, said he expects the bill to come up Tuesday in the Senate. Gardens with Rainsville Funeral Home Inc. directing, www.rainsvillefuneralhome.com.

The Alabama secretary of state’s office plans to launch a searchable online database of campaign donations by the end of May. It will replace the old system of candidates filing paper documents with the secretary of state, and then the secretary’s staff scanning them for display on the office’s website. The new system will premier in time for the start of fundraising for the 2014 elections. An attorney in the secretary of state’s office, Julie Sinclair, told The Anniston Star that the new system can be searched by name for donors, which isn’t possible with the scanned-in documents. “If you know Joe Schmoe in your local area, and you know Joe Schmoe Construction Company gives political donations, you can look it up,” she said. The system was mandated by the Legislature as part of the laws it enacted in 2011 to make campaign fundraising more transparent. The law requires political candidates and political action committees to report their donations and spending online beginning June 1. The secretary of state’s office estimates the new system is costing $300,000 to $350,000. Candidates for county offices report their contributions and expenditures at the county level and are not part of the new system.

Nathan Deal recently signed into law a revamped Georgia Tourism Development Act — and that could mean Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park gets a tax break on SoakYa, its under-construction water park. “We have been told that it’s all about businesses like Lake Winnie,” said state Sen. Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga. The new law allows sales tax exemptions for certain projects to stimulate the creation or expansion of tourist attractions. Each project must meet the following criteria: ■ It must cost a minimum of $1 million. ■ It must attract at least 25 percent of its visitors from out of state by its third year. ■ It must not directly compete with existing Georgia businesses. SoakYa, which is due to open May 24, meets those criteria. It will cost an estimated $6.3 million, should attract many Tennesseans since it’s close to the state border and is miles away from the nearest water park. Amusement park spokeswoman Talley Green Talley Green said, “It is kind of early in the game, so we will look forward to seeing what all the bill entails and how Lake Winnie will be able to be a part of this new law.” In December 2012, the Catoosa County Board of Commissioners unanimously backed a tax break of $85,050 for Lake Winnie for its new fiveacre water park. The next step for Lake Winnie was to get a $113,000 tax break from state officials. But park officials learned in February that the roughly $200,000 in anticipated tax savings was in limbo. State agencies responsible for overseeing the tax break declared that technical flaws in the law, first passed in 2011, made it impossible to write the rules and regulations needed to make tax breaks a reality. That sent the legislation back through the Georgia Assembly to be revamped. Contact staff writer Tim Omarzu at 423-7576651 or [email protected]. Input sought on rural transit By Ben Benton Staff Writer Regional transportation officials want the public to offer ideas for improvements or new services provided by the Southeast Tennessee Human Resource Agency at a hearing set for May 15 in Dunlap, Tenn. “This is something we do annually,” SETHRA Executive Director Bill Harmon said Friday. The agency must submit the results of each year’s hearing to the state before funding is doled out, he said. “Sometimes we get good comments where we can improve our service, and sometimes we get comments where the grantor just will not let us do all the things the public would like to see us do,” Harmon said. “Anybody and everybody’s welcome,” he said. The resource agency’s 84 buses serve nine counties in Southeast Tennessee, with fixed routes established in Marion, McMinn and Rhea counties, according to officials. SETHRA charges $1 to ride inside the service county, $3 for rides to neighboring counties and $5 each way to go to Chattanooga from Marion or Rhea counties. In 2008, the agency established a fixed transportation route in Marion County after suggestions from the public, SETHRA rural transportation director Mary Cookston said. That route, mostly around South Pittsburg and parts of Jasper, links riders to a number of shopping and medical services areas and to Chattanooga and other public transit systems. Funding is always limited, but good ideas don’t fall on deaf ears, Cookston said. “Sometimes they have really great ideas,” she said ofthe public. Those ideas are sent on to state officials who can help with strategies for funding improvements, she said. “We want to hear about any improvements we can make,” Cookston said.

Frontier fort from Revolutionary War found in Georgia Researchers find evidence of the site of a short, but fierce, gunbattle By Russ Bynum The Associated Press SAVANNAH, Ga. — Less than two months after British forces captured Savannah in December 1778, patriot militiamen scored a rare Revolutionary War victory in Georgia after a short but violent gunbattle forced British loyalists to abandon a small fort built on a frontiersman’s cattle farm. More than 234 years later, archaeologists say they’ve pinpointed the location of Carr’s Fort in northeastern Georgia after a search with metal detectors covering more than four square miles turned up musket balls and rifle parts, as well as horseshoes and old frying pans. The February 1779 shootout at Carr’s Fort turned back men sent to Wilkes County to recruit colonists loyal to the British army. It was also a prelude to the more prominent battle of Kettle Creek, where the same patriot fighters who attacked the fort went on to ambush and decimate an advancing British force of roughly 800 men. The battles were a blow to British plans to make gains in Georgia, the last of the original 13 colonies, and other Southern settlements by bolstering their ranks with colonists sympathetic to the crown. “The war was going badly up north for the British, so they decided to have a southern campaign and shipped a huge amount of troops down here and started recruiting loyal followers,” said Dan Elliott, the Georgia-based archaeologist who found the fort with a team from the nonprofit research group, the LAMAR Institute. “Kettle Creek was probably the best victory that the Georgians ever had in the Revolutionary War. Most battles were failures like the capture of Savannah.” Carr’s Fort, midway between Athens and Augusta, was one of numerous small outposts on the colonial frontier built for American settlers to defend themselves against enemy soldiers and hostile Indians. Robert Carr was a cattle farmer who settled with his wife, children and a single middle-aged female slave in Wilkes County after colonists started arriving there in 1773. Carr also served as captain of a militia company of about 100 men.

To combat speeding and aggressive driving, the Georgia Governor’s Highway Safety Office will kick off its annual “100 Days of Summer H.E.A.T.” campaign on Memorial Day. The multiagency Highway Staff Report Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic campaign began in 2004 as a way to reduce fatal crashes, according to a news release. “Temperatures won’t be the only thing making the heat rise this summer,” said Harris Blackwood, the director of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. “From drunk drivers to aggressive speeders, all unsafe motorists will be feeling the H.E.A.T.” Local law enforcement and the Georgia State Patrol will be taking part in the campaign. The goals are to reduce the number of impaired-driving crashes by 10 percent, and to reduce speeding and aggressive driving, according to the Governor’s Highway Safety Office website. The release said Georgia had 895 speed-related crashes in 2011, but the number zoomed to 1,115 in 2012. The top three causes of fatal crashes in Georgia are speed, drunken driving and not using safety belts, Blackwood said in the release. The H.E.A.T. program has some overlap with another annual push, the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign, which is May 20-June 2. Staff Report Baseball • Continued from Page B1 a player with the Chattanooga Choo Choos and former player in the Negro League, stopped by and asked if the boys wanted some baseball uniforms. We told him, “yes, sir!” said Prater in a written account of the meeting. Lawson brought the uniforms the next day. The uniforms were too big, said Prater, so the boys’ mothers and grandmothers took them in so they would fit. “Elite Giants” was emblazoned on the jerseys in big red letters. It was the name of a onetime semipro team. From 1961 to 1963, the Chattanooga Elite Giants went on to win every championship game that they played in the Henry Branch YMCA’s Knothole League, said Prater, a pitcher and outfielder. “We were the best thing that ever came through Chattanooga,” said Prater. “Nobody could beat us.” Those days are gone now, but Prater and fellow Elite Giant Randall High thought they should be memorialized. So when the new Alton Place Apartments opened this spring on the spot where they used to practice, they went to co-owner Michael Hedges to share their story. Hedges was impressed and agreed to name the apartments’ clubhouse in honor of the Elite Giants. “We want to honor what they did, especially in the times in the South. It had to be hard for a bunch of black guys to bring that together,” said Hedges. He said he’s only waiting to get information about the team’s history before making and hanging a plaque. He hopes to have it up before the end of summer. The Elite Giants was one of about a dozen teams in the league of at least 100 teenage Graham black boys from South and East Chattanooga. Other teams in the league include the Bethlehem Center Mets, the Piney Woods Braves and the Citico Cubs. The local team was named after the semiprofessional Nashville Elite Giants, a team that was part of the Negro Southern League that lasted from the 1920 to the 1950s when players from the teams began to integrate into major league teams. The Elite Giants started in Nashville in the 1920s and moved to Baltimore in 1938, according to news reports. That team played in Chattanooga against other Negro League greats like pitcher Satchel Paige, who played with the Chattanooga Black Lookouts in the mid- to late 1920s, and Willie Mays, who played with the Chattanooga Choo Choos in 1947 before finding fame in the major leagues. Brooklyn Dodgers great Jackie Robinson also played in Chattanooga in an exhibi- 35677719 tion game at Engel Stadium against the Boston Braves on April 6, 1952. It was the first baseball game in Chattanooga in which blacks and whites competed against each other, according to news reports. Larry “Bear” High and Prater, former members of Chattanooga’s Elite Giants, later became little league baseball coaches in Chattanooga around 2008. But they say they’ll never forget their days with the Elite Giants. Contact staff writer Yolanda Putman at yputman@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6431. Millsaps said the project would need board approval before moving forward. He said the board had not approved any renovation work at Twin Gables in the past several years. Records obtained by the newspaper show roofs have been replaced, exterior walls constructed, heating and air systems replaced and other work done since June 2010. University spokeswoman Christen Carter said the total work, including minor repairs, since 2010 is about $284,000. Carter said questions about how much of the work would qualify as routine and necessary maintenance would need to be answered by the university system. One project on the home’s third floor required framing, drywall, electrical and air work. Charles Bourne, who served as construction superintendent on the job with Gilbane Construction in 2010, said it involved adding a bedroom and sitting room, floor refinishing and interior painting. as those in public works, vehicles must be able to carry large loads or traverse difficult terrain, which standard fuel-efficient cars may not be able to do. County Mayor Jim Coppinger said saving money on gas would be a boon, but replacing all of the county’s fleet will take years. Graham said Friday that no matter how long it takes, it’s a must-do for the county. “That’s the way we have to go; we have no choice,” Graham said. “Fuel prices are going to continue to go up. We’re going to have to get more fuel efficient.” Contact staff writer Louie Brogdon at 423-757-6481 or lbrogdon@timesfreepress. com. Follow him on Twitter at @glbrogdoniv.

Though probably no larger in area than a tennis court, Carr’s Fort would have needed to hold 300 or more people, said Robert Scott Davis, a history professor at Wallace State Community College in Alabama who has studied and written about Wilkes County’s role in the American Revolution since the 1970s. “Most of the forts on the frontier were small community affairs,” Davis said. “Everybody in the militia company took refuge inside the fort when the community was in danger because either the British were coming or the Indians were coming.” In February 1779, about 80 British loyalists marched into Carr’s Fort and took control, presumably while Carr and other patriot militiamen were away. Patriots responded quickly by sending 200 men from Georgia and South Carolina to retake the fort. Davis said the Feb. 10 gunbattle was short, with most of the shooting likely over within 20 minutes, but it left more than a dozen fighters dead or wounded on each side. Patriots gained the upper floor of a nearby building and fired down into the fort. Innocent bystanders — women, children and old men inside the stockade walls — had to huddle under cover during the firefight. The patriots seized their foes’ horses left saddled with supplies outside the walls, forcing the group to abandon the fort and return to the British army. Still, the outcome wasn’t exactly a decisive victory. Commanders of the patriot militiamen ordered them to break off the siege and focus on a new target: a larger fighting party of about 800 British loyalist fighters marching from the Carolinas. Four days later, the patriots ambushed the approaching group at nearby Kettle Creek in an attack that brought heavy casualties to both sides and left the British sympathizers with fewer than 300 men. Surviving records from the Revolution gave general landmarks but no precise location for Carr’s Fort. Elliott last year won a $68,500 grant from the National Park Service’s American Battlefields Protection Program to attempt to find the fort’s remains. The artifacts from Carr’s fort are being cleaned and eventually will be turned over to the University of Georgia, Elliott said. The Associated Press United States Geological Survey hydrologist Dan Thomas uses a laptop computer last month to compile results from a sonar device that measures stream flow speed and depth of the Red River in Fargo, N.D. the water is not going to get to a certain level.” Greg Gust, the weather service’s warning coordination meteorologist in Grand Forks, acknowledged the agency had heard criticism of its projections for Fargo. He said it constantly is studying ways to improve its performance but will always have limitations. “Many times the weather service is being asked to do the impossible,” Gust said. “We’re being asked to forecast an unknown situation out into the future. We don’t have a perfect knowledge what’s going on today in the system, and yet we’re supposed to be able to forecast some unknown point in the future where clearly we have no knowledge. “That said, that’s the task of a forecaster.” Flood fights have become routine on the Red River at Fargo, but this one came nearly a month later than ever before because of winter conditions that refused to loosen their grip. “We don’t have anything to go on when these things go on so late,” Steve Buan, a weather service hydrologist who works on river forecasts in the region, lamented as the Red was rising. Flood forecasting in this part of the continent starts with models for determining how much snow is on the ground. Observers record NON-SURGICAL DISC TREATMENT FOR NECK & BACK PAIN Relax.

But it’s even more important to figure out how much water is in that snowpack, which requires melting samples. It can also be done by going airborne to measure the natural radiation coming from the soil — a factor affected by the water in the snowpack. Next up is more modeling on what will happen when the snow melts, which includes a dizzying number of variables. Is the ground frozen? How deep? How much moisture is in the soil? Weather service hydrologists get data on snow depth, water content, frost depths and soil moisture levels from many different sources, including their network of observers. Forecasters run actual and predicted rainfall through their models, Buan said. They use more modeling tools for how the water will flow downstream. And they have to take into account potential changes in how much water is held back in reservoirs, such as Lake Traverse at the southern end of the Red River watershed. Once forecasters have an idea of how much water is coming, their models also tell them about the relationship between the projected stream flows and how high the river will be at any given flow rate, which ultimately helps them predict how high the river will rise. Spinal Decompression 35550368 AP Photo/LAMAR Institute, Rita Elliott Archaeologist Dan Elliott holds a piece of decorative brass recovered during the search for a small fort in Wilkes County, Ga. FARGO, N.D. — Perched in a boat drifting slowly along the Red River, Dan Thomas kept one eye on a laptop and the other on a $60,000 piece of floating hardware that beamed sound waves deep into the flooding river. As the signal bounced off water molecules and returned, the laptop sorted it into data on the river’s depth and speed and transmitted it instantly to the National Weather Service. Once there, the work by the U.S. Geological Survey’s water expert became part of the data stew the weather service relies upon to update crest projections for rivers like the Red, which rose again this spring to threaten Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn. And the complexity of the science was never more evident than this year, when an early forecast of 40 feet prompted costly sandbagging only to be revised downward repeatedly until the Red barely broke a harmless 33 feet. The apparent false alarm irritated some residents who questioned why the city spent $2 million preparing for the flood that wasn’t. And that irritated Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker, who has sparred with the weather service himself in the past. “They all become experts,” Walaker said. “You can’t believe how many times I get stopped throughout the day by people who tell me DECOMPRESSION FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST!

Ochs, Publisher 1878-1935 PAM SOHN Times Page Editor Contact: 757-6900,, [email protected] COMMENTARY CONFIDENCE RESPONSE What makes people act as they do A few columns ago, I asked readers to give me their feedback about questions having to do with self-confidence: Are women still less self-confident than men? Do we have more to fear from overconfidence or underconfidence? I’ve read through a mountain of responses, and my first reaction is awe David at the diversity of the Brooks human experience. I went looking for patterns in this survey. Were younger people more likely to say women are self-confident than older people? But it was really hard to see consistent correlations and trends. The essays were highly idiosyncratic, and I don’t want to impose a false order on them that isn’t there. Let me just string together some of the interesting points people made. Many men wrote to say that the real crisis these days is male underconfidence. Here’s a law student from Chicago: “I firmly believe one of the unintended consequences of the feminist revolution has been that men in my generation are raised without a strong self-identity, and, in essence, grow up to be little more than boys looking for mothers.” A few women wrote that family dynamics were the sources of their underconfidence. One 58-year-old mom wrote that mothers “might as well have had, as a friend of mine puts it, ‘our vocal cords cut.’ We want to talk in nice voices and stay calm and sit down and have a heart-to-heart. Our children want the five-minute version — direct, to the point. They come back at anything we say with smart remarks that knock the wind out of our sails.” More women wrote about conflicts with other women than about conflicts with men. One retired Army officer wrote, “Girls and women are highly critical of any other girl or woman who exhibits confidence. Men, on the whole, do not ‘shut down’ women who are intelligent and confident, but women do.” Mallory Shaddix theorized that both men and women may suffer equally from underconfidence, but they present this trait differently. Men are more likely to bluff their way through. Women are more likely to be skeptical or ask advice or be passive. Betsy Frank observed that if you create a confidence scale from “None” to “Hubris,” there seems to be more people at the extremes now than in decades past. A few experienced coaches noted that when you criticize a team or group, the women are more likely to take the criticism personally, while the guys are more likely to figure somebody else is at fault. I was struck by the dappled nature of self-confidence, as people transmogrify from high self-confidence to low. One political consultant wrote, “I am 71, am loving the last chapter of a very successful life, and would say I have a great deal of self-confidence. Yet, sometimes it’s as if I have suddenly become invisible — a short gray-haired woman of a certain age can become a blur, especially to powerful older men and to young women who never suspect they will get old.” One of the calmest letters came from Carol Collier, who works at Covenant College. She wrote: “As a believer in Jesus Christ, I see myself as redeemed, forgiven and covered in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. I believe that this is how God sees me, all the time and without exception. I believe that his smile and delight in me is unwavering. This view of myself is quite simple yet with profound implications. It allows me to accept criticism without self-condemnation and to accept affirmations without exalting myself. This is the ideal view of myself that I am always working at. It is a struggle, but a good one.” I’ll try to harvest more social trends later. But, in the meantime, I’m struck by how hard it is to have the right stable mix of self-confidence and self-criticism without some external moral framework or publicly defined life calling. If it’s just self-appraisal — one piece of your unstable self judging another unstable piece — it’s subjectivity all the way down. New York Times News Service EDITORIAL ANOTHER CRACK AT THE FILIBUSTER The U.S. Senate has not conducted any official business this week, so the American people have been at least temporarily protected from its stultifying refusal to represent them well. But the senators will eventually return — and will resume blocking judicial nominees, converting budget disagreements into crises and preventing the enactment of even the most paltry gun restrictions favored by the overwhelming majority of Americans and the clear majority of the Senate itself. This is not the first time in its history that the Senate, by virtue of its rules, has become an impediment to the popular will. Indeed, the founders intended it to move more deliberately than the House, and not all obstruction is negative. But the combination of a deepening partisan divide, Republican exploitation of the rules and weak Democratic leadership has converted the Senate from the world’s greatest deliberative body into a persistent obstacle to sound government. It need not be this way. The Senate makes its own rules, and it can change them. Principally at issue these days, of course, is the filibuster. To exercise a filibuster once required a senator or senators to physically hold the floor and monopolize debate, preventing a vote until the other side either relented and moved on to other business or found the 60 votes necessary to end the filibuster. Today, senators merely need to threaten to filibuster for the majority to withdraw. That was apparent during the gun-control debate, when 54 senators, a majority, voted in favor of the bill’s modest background check provision — a measure that even opponents acknowledged did not upset the Second Amendment because it did not limit any person’s right to own a gun — but that was not enough to overcome the threat of a filibuster. Senate tied up in knots Senate Republicans are using the filibuster (extended debate to block a vote) as a way to limit or derail the majority Democrats’ ability to pass bills. How the use of filibuster has grown: Number of cloture votes (invoked to stop debate) per term of Congress 100 80 The longest and most notorious filibusters were against bills on civil rights, voting rights, school busing 60 18% of all votes 112 91 54 49 40 20 0 ’6364 ’1112* ’8788 *As of May 22 Source: U.S. Senate Graphic: Judy Treible © 2012 MCT In effect, the Senate has moved from the rare use of the filibuster to force deep consideration on matters of special significance to its routine employment, creating a de facto supermajority requirement for almost all serious legislation. In January, the leadership adopted a few small procedures — limiting filibusters to matters up for debate and allowing members of both parties to offer amendments — but stopped short of forcing filibustering senators to actually hold the floor. We cautiously welcomed that development as an incremental reform, while warning that it was a “disappointingly small one.” Events have upheld that disappointment. Senators need to return to their rules and amend them again. If they’re unwilling to abolish the filibuster, they must fashion limits that allow Americans to be represented by their Senate, not thwarted by it.

BENNETT TOPIC APPLIES TO OTHER REGIONS Clay Bennett’s cartoon last week of a drone, pulling a banner, “why do you hate us?” gave me pause for thought. Friends recently returned from Cambodia. While there, their host asked this poignant question, “Why do the American people hate our children?” He continued by explaining that in 2009 the United States government sent $77 million to Cambodia and set up 12 abortion clinics. They also trained numerous midwives who travel to rural areas, performing abortions. Our taxes have funded this, and Cambodia is only one of many countries where we have committed this atrocity. Last week, our president chided those who are working in our country to lessen the number of abortions through state legislation and asked Planned Parenthood to spread the word about his “health plan.” After adopting two of our three children, who now are adults, I can’t even imagine if they had never been born! Only on Judgment Day will our country see the gravity of our national sin. The blood of the innocents, just as in Pol Pot’s killing fields of Cambodia, and across the world, cry out for justice. SANDY HARRIS Cloudland, Ga. OFFICERS IN SCHOOLS NOT THE ANSWER Officers in schools? Best investment? Average officer’s salary: $35,000. The total cost would be $3.5 billion. What do we gain for the money? How do we pay the cost? Add that much taxation? We can’t even handle the present budget with politicians in charge and many wishing to limit taxes even more. One officer per school in buildings with many halls and doors. One officer cannot be near all halls or all doors at once. Which hall is your student on? If a shooter with high-capacity loading is on a first-grade hall and and officer is on a fifth-grade hall, how many first-graders and teachers will die until officer reaches that hall and classroom? Better idea for $3.5 billion: Install fire doors that open from inside but not from out unless with key pad. Place cameras on all doors. Provide key pads for all doors and bullet-proof glass throughout. Keep codes a secret, with dire warnings and punishments if given out to others than staff and PTA officers. Finally, take care of mentally ill, background checks and loose guns! SHARON MCINTOSH U.S. FACTORY FARM ACTIONS REPREHENSIBLE Thank you, David Cook, for many insightful articles, but especially your recent one concerning America’s meat production. If all residents of this nation could see videos of life on a factory farm or death in a slaughterhouse, the majority would be repulsed. The USA has decadesold laws outlawing animal cruelty, yet those laws are largely ignored, and cruelty seems to be the norm. No creature should endure immobility in filthy conditions for a year or two of existence and be beaten with metal rods on top of that! The harsh treatment needs to be brought into the public eye, not hidden. Agricultural bigwigs tell Americans that low meat prices and vast availability of meat cuts are not possible without factory farms. So why does the richest nation on earth need vast quantities of cheap meat? Most Americans eat way more meat than a body needs and that excess is converted into fat! The meat industry has duped us into believing that we must eat meat at every meal or we will not thrive ... hogwash! America needs to see the horror allowed in our present meat systems. And not look away in hopes the cruelty will cease, because it won’t. ANN GARRARD GRINDLE Sewanee, Tenn. SENATORS’ VOTE ON GUN BILL IS SAD It is a sad day in the U.S. Senate when threats from Wayne LaPierre and the extreme wing of the NRA have more influence on our senators than the victims of mass shootings or the opinion of 90 percent of the American public. Unfortunately, both Tennessee senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, caved in to the NRA threats, and the bill requiring background checks for gun purchases did not pass. How very, very sad. THE REV. H. HUNTER HUCKABAY JR. ... . timesfreepress.com OPINION • • • Monday, May 6, 2013 • B7 Established 1936 Roy McDonald Founder & Publisher, 1936-1990 Frank McDonald President & Chairman, 1969-2000 Lee Anderson Editor, 1958-2012; Publisher, 1990-1999 Drew Johnson Editor COMMENTARY OBAMA JUGGERNAUT Oh, how the mighty has fallen WASHINGTON — Fate is fickle, power cyclical, and nothing is new under the sun. Especially in Washington, where after every election the losing party is sagely instructed to confess sin, rend garments and rethink its principles lest it go the way of the Whigs. And where the victor is hailed as the new Caesar, facing an open road to domination. Charles And where Barack Krauthammer Obama, already naturally inclined to believe his own loftiness, graciously accepted the kingly crown and proceeded to ride his reelection success to a crushing victory over the GOP at the fiscal cliff, leaving a humiliated John Boehner & Co. with nothing but naked tax hikes. Thus emboldened, Obama turned his inaugural and State of the Union addresses into a left-wing dream factory, from his declaration of war on global warming (on a planet where temperatures are the same as 16 years ago and in a country whose CO2 emissions are at a 20-year low) to the invention of new entitlements — e.g., universal preschool for 5-year-olds — for a country already drowning in debt. To realize his dreams, Obama sought to fracture and neutralize the congressional GOP as a prelude to reclaiming the House in 2014. This would enable him to fully enact his agenda in the final two years of his presidency, usually a time of lame-duck paralysis. Hail the Obama juggernaut. Well, that story lasted exactly six months. The Big Mo is gone. It began with the sequester. Obama never believed the Republicans would call his bluff and let it go into effect. They did. Taken by surprise, Obama cried wolf, predicting the end of everything we hold dear if the sequester was not stopped. It wasn’t. Nothing happened. Highly embarrassed, and determined to indeed make (bad) things happen, the White House refused Republican offers to give it more discretion in making cuts. Bureaucrats were instructed to inflict maximum pain from minimal cuts, as revealed by one memo from the Agriculture Department demanding agency cuts that the public would feel. Things began with the near-comical cancellation of White House tours and ended with not-so-comical airline delays. Obama thought furious passengers would blame the GOP. But isn’t the executive branch in charge of these agencies? Who thinks that a government spending $3.6 trillion a year can’t cut 2 percent without furloughing air traffic controllers? Looking not just incompetent at managing budgets but cynical for deliberately injuring the public welfare, the administration relented. Congress passed a bill giving Obama reallocation authority to restore air traffic control. Having previously threatened to veto any such bill, Obama caved. He signed. For Obama, gun control was a political disaster. An assault-weapons ban lost 60-40 in a Senate where Democrats control 55 seats. Obama failed even to get mere background checks. All this while appearing passive, if not helpless, on the world stage. On Syria, Obama was nervously trying to erase the WMD red line he had so publicly established. On Benghazi, he stonewalled accusations that State Department officials wishing to testify are being blocked. Now, the screw will undoubtedly turn again. If immigration reform passes, Obama will be hailed as the comeback kid, and a new “Obama rising” narrative proclaimed. This will overlook the fact that immigration reform has little to do with Obama and everything to do with GOP panic about the Hispanic vote. In fact, Obama has been asked by congressional negotiators to stay away, so polarizing a figure has he become. Nonetheless, whatever happens, the screw will surely turn again, if only because of media boredom. But that’s the one constant of Washington political life: There are no straight-line graphs. We live from inflection point to inflection point. And we’ve just experienced one. From king of the world to dead in the water in six months. Quite a ride. The Washington Post Writers Group EDITORIAL OBAMA’S SECOND TERM SHAPING UP AS A TRAIN WRECK S uccessful presidential second terms have been hard to come by since the end of World War II. Dwight Eisenhower signed the 1957 Civil Rights Act and dispatched federal troops to escort black students to public schools in Little Rock, Ark., but then came Sputnik and the 1958 recession. Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of Watergate early in his second term, Ronald Reagan was distracted by Iran-Contra, Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives, and George W. Bush was preoccupied by the economic collapse of 2007 and the Great Recession that followed. So perhaps no one should be surprised that President Barack Obama’s prospects for his second term took a beating in April. Between the growing consensus that implementing Obamacare is a “train wreck” and confirmation that his administration is preventing Benghazi massacre survivors and whistle-blowers from testifying before Congress about what really happened in Libya, the outlines of a second-term collapse could take shape in the next several weeks. A portent of trouble ahead came early in April when Time magazine’s Joe Klein, normally a reliable Obama enthusiast, warned that “we are now seeing weekly examples of this administration’s inability to govern.” Then the Obamacare train wreck meme flashed across the headlines when Sen. Max Baucus, one of the health reform law’s chief sponsors, told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that “I just see a huge train wreck coming down. You and I have discussed this many times, and I don’t see any results yet.” Despite Baucus’ subsequent efforts to take back his comments, the “train wreck” quickly became a staple of political conversation across the ideological and media spectrum, fueled by growing evidence that health insurance premiums for millions of Americans will soon skyrocket because of Obamacare. The Benghazi story seemed to have McClatchy Newspapers President Barack Obama is having trouble finding his footing in his second term. fizzled out in April until Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said during a weekend interview on Fox News that “explosive hearings” were soon to be held and suggested that they would include “eyewitness testimony” from survivors who had been kept behind closed doors by the Obama administration since Sept. 11 last year. One of those survivors was presented in-shadow Monday on Fox News’ “Special Report,” then Obama played possum when asked about the issue at his Tuesday news conference, claiming he was “not familiar” with it. Obama’s evasion prompted a blistering statement by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.: “Over the past two weeks, I have sent four letters requesting that this administration make information available about how lawyers — who already have security clearances and are representing Benghazi whistle- blowers — can be cleared to fully hear their clients’ stories. I have yet to receive any response from the Obama administration. “Even if the president really doesn’t know anything about someone wanting to come forward, his position should be that whistleblowers deserve protection and that anyone who has different information about Benghazi is free to come forward to Congress. The president’s unwillingness to commit himself to protecting whistleblowers only aids those in his administration who are intimidating them.” Nothing could render Obama a lame duck quicker than an Obamacare train wreck that undermines his signal legislative victory, even as revelations by Benghazi survivors point to a colossal failure by his “leading from behind” policies overseas. — The Washington Examiner Learned helplessness ... it’s institutionalized Back in 1967, research was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology ntitled, “Failure to Escape Traumatic Shock” by Dr. Martin Seligman, that opened the window to a phrase used today, “learned helplessness. In Seligman’s animal study, he and his team used dogs that were Robin Smith initially prevented from escaping a negative stimulus. Over a period of time, the animals stopped attempting to avoid the adverse exposure. Ultimately, the same canines were then exposed to the same negative stimulus with the freedom to flee, yet, remained. This body of research has been expanded and modified over several decades to reveal the application to human behavior and its specific relationship to poverty, depression, even organizational and business failure. In a CBS MoneyWatch article from March 2010 and a February 2013 Chicago Tribune report, Robert Pagliarini noted the excess of books, infomercialsand articles touting the “secret” to get rich. He then posed the question, “So why are so many of us struggling?” with the answer that’s reinforced by Dr. Seligman’s research, “Because we’ve learned to be poor.” Pagliarini summarized that being poor is “living below your true potential” believing that “no matter how hard you work and how much education you get” the “financial and personal straight-jacket” is your destiny. After a while, the belief that you’ve lost control results in a mindset of resignation and, at its worst, the beginning of a generational cycle. How does any of this apply our daily lives? Whether it’s personal finances, an abusive relationship, a destructive policy at work or on a national scale of government, or a student who strives and struggles, every one of us is confronted daily with a choice. Will I respond with perseverance, embrace change and seek an opportunity to make things better than they were yesterday, or will I accept my circumstances with no attempt to improve or “escape”? Chattanooga and Tennessee are addressing several areas of concern, such as domestic violence, drug abuse, gangs and youth violence, and poverty. Individually, most of us look for success, prosperity, survival and improvement. Our government’s “fix” for these problems is programs that become the surrogate to personal achievement and the opportunity of individual accomplishment. Th e gove r n m e n t n eve r empowers the individual or a group of people. The government only empowers itself and institutionalizes learned helplessness. Welfare and entitlement programs assist those in temporary need and should be continued. However, the current state of these programs and agencies serves as the harness that leads to generational confinement to poverty. To use Pagliarini’s narrative, the secret to guaranteed poverty is to remove the incentive and opportunity of success from personal empowerment. Instead, that individual becomes a subject of the state with his or her sustenance handed out by a government program or an agency. In 2004, the Millennium Challenge Corp. was formed by the U.S. Congress and was the brainchild of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who saw a need to restructure foreign aid that incentivized a move away from corrupt governments but toward voting rights, education of women, individual property rights and business ownership, and the rule of law. The MCC awards funding to governments and programs that empower individuals, give the local funding recipients a stake in their own success, and reject the cycle of learned helplessness that flourishes in corruption and in groups refusing who’ve resigned their destiny to a state of dependence. Our state and local folks should structure assistance as a catalyst yielding individual success while rejecting those who embrace the gangs, crime, drug use, abuse, sales and violence — the fuel for generational poverty.

University of Kentucky softball coach Rachel Lawson can recall the moment that former Soddy-Daisy High School pitcher Kelsey Nunley accepted a scholarship offer to come play for the Wildcats. “She was very matter-of-fact,” Lawson said. “She said she was excited in her cool little southern way. She was very composed.” That comes off as typical to those in the Chattanooga area who know her. And now it seems her Kentucky teammates and coaches have figured that out. “She was accepted very quickly,” Lawson said. “She’s real. She’s down to earth. She’s the type of pitcher that says ‘Give me the ball,’ and she takes responsibility for what hap- ■ The former Soddy-Daisy star has excelled in her freshman season, posting some of the best pitching numbers in the league. pens. At first nobody knew her, but she’s got a great personality and she’s a great teammate. She stays in the background until it’s her time, then she takes charge and really leads the team.” Now that the regular season ended Sunday with No. 19-ranked Kentucky earning a 9-5 victory over No. 7 Alabama, Nunley is ready to lead the Wildcats into the Southeastern Conference tournament. It will be held in Lexington, Ky., and will run Wednesday through Saturday’s championship game. Nunley exuded composure throughout her prep career, which included three consecutive trips to Class AAA state finals with two championships. She acknowledges the last one because she got to finish that one. But in the Southeastern Conference — a league in which seven teams besides Kentucky are ranked in the ESPN.COM/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25, including four in the top eight — a pitcher’s composure is surely tested regularly. “The whole lineup is really good in college, especially teams in the SEC,” Nunley said. “It’s like facing the third batter on a really good team in high school every time. There really aren’t any breaks. You have to go hard all the time. You have to work.” Not only has Nunley worked — she led the conference with 1 40 appearances and 223 ⁄3 innings pitched — she’s been productive throughout the year and shined in stretches. She was selected SEC pitcher of the week for the second week in April and was chosen freshman of the week two weeks later. Nunley will finish the regular season ranked in the SEC’s top 10 in ERA (2.01) and strikeouts (170), and with a 24-7 pitching record she is the first in school history to reach 20 pitching victories in a season. “I wouldn’t have recruited her if I didn’t think she could dominate,” Lawson said. “It’s really a credit to her for what she’s been able to See NUNLEY, Page C5 Curry now a hot shot in the NBA The greatest performance I’ve ever witnessed atop McKenzie Arena’s basketball court took place on Jan. 28, 2009. That’s the night the Chinese juggler known as the Red Panda put on the kind of dazzling and daring performance that has you oohing and ahh-ing for the rest of your life. Of course, that was also the night that some cherub-faced assassin named Stephen Curry swished a 75-foot shot against UT-Chattanooga just at the halftime buzzer. And had Red Panda not taken the court Mark just as Wiedmer Curry was Commentary leaving it following that shot, well, his heave would have easily become the greatest individual act I’ve ever seen inside Bigger Mac. But that doesn’t mean the former Davidson College star peaked that night against the Mocs, despite exiting with 32 points. In fact, his best is probably still ahead of him, possibly beginning tonight against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. That’s when Curry and his Golden State Warriors teammates will continue to attempt to stun the entire NBA in the best-ofseven series after shocking Denver last week. How good was Curry against the heavily favored Nuggets? He averaged 24.3 points and 9.3 assists for the six-game series. That assist total is also tops for the first round of the playoffs. “As soon as he gets the ball in half court he’s in range,” said Curry teammate Andrew Bogut. Added Denver coach George Karl of the 31 points Curry scored in a pivotal Game 4 win, including 22 in the third period: “He decided he could make one from 30 feet. Boom. He has this incredible rhythm. It’s magic.” The whole country witnessed that magic during the 2008 NCAA tournament, when Davidson lost 59-57 to Kansas one game from reaching the Final Four. It was the Jayhawks’ tightest victory on their way to the national championship. But when Curry came back to Davidson the following year, the whole country also saw his vulnerability — fragile ankles that have cost him more See WIEDMER, Page C6 Rain jumbles playoffs ■ The heavy storms Saturday have area prep softball teams scrambling to get district tournaments finished on time.

ALABAMA GETAWAY David Ragan steals last-lap victory at Talladega By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. — Rain and wrecks pushed NASCAR to the edge of darkness Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, where three of the biggest names in the sport led the field to final flag. NASCAR was giving it one final go to get the rain-delayed race wrapped up, and Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson were at the head of the pack for the two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. None of them ever saw David Ragan coming. Heck, Ragan barely even saw teammate David Gilliland hook onto his rear bumper. But Gilliland locked up with Ragan for that last-gasp push to the finish, and the Front Row Motorsports drivers sliced their way to the front and put Ragan into Victory Lane for the tiny organization’s first victory. “This is a true David versus Goliath moment here,” Ragan said. It was the second career victory for Ragan — he also won at Daytona in July 2011 when he drove for Roush Fenway Racing — and Gilliland finished second for a 1-2 finish for Front Row Motorsports. “I wouldn’t want to line up and have to do it again,” said Ragan, who didn’t realize Gilliland was pushing him until he exited Turn 2 on the last lap. “That gave me a little extra confidence ... that I could make the right moves and I knew that he was going to stick with me. I had a great teammate. David Gilliland gave us a great push. I owe him a lot. I’ll definitely buy him lunch this week or something.” The victory came a day after Regan Smith won the Nationwide Series race and Ragan was flooded with misfired congratulatory messages on Twitter. “All fans- please send all congrats to @ReganSmith. Not this Ragan..... He is the Winner today!! Haha,” he tweeted Saturday night. Now Ragan has his own win — just in time to qualify for the Sprint AllStar race in two weeks. Gilliland wanted the win but was content settling for second on a day his team earned its first victory. “What a great day for Front Row Motorsports, an underfunded team coming in here and being able to finish 1-2 is awesome,” Gilliland said. “I’m very proud of David Ragan. I know he would have done the same for me. I had a heck of a run, we were See NASCAR, Page C6 Saturday’s rain spoiled the plans for many local softball and baseball teams ready to begin play, or continue playing, in TSSAA district tournaments this week. In all 13 softball games were washed out. The District 6-A softball tournament at Sale Creek had its two play-in games wiped out. Sale Creek assistant coach Kendra Goforth said those games are now scheduled for today at 5 and 7 p.m. If the rest of the tournament runs a day behind, as it stands now, that would put the losers-bracket final on Friday at 5 p.m., with the championship at 7. If necessary, a second championship game may have to be played afterward if the TSSAA enforces its rule that district tournaments are to be completed Friday. Goforth said they don’t want to schedule more than two games per day during the week because of end-of-course testing today through Thursday this week, and most teams in that district have lengthy trips to get there. Tournament officials plan on contacting the TSSAA office today to try to get the ‘if’ game moved to Saturday. “If a team comes through the losers bracket and gets to the championship and wins that first game, that would put them playing three games in one day,” Goforth said. “Single-A is a lot differnt than double-A See SOFTBALL, Page C5 Area Division II-AA tennis teams aiming to state By Gene Henley Staff Writer Michelle Fleenor and Emma McCallie have both experienced success playing singles over the years, as both have advanced to the state semifinals in their respective GPS careers.

The Tigers baseball team beat Dyersburg 7-4 on Sunday before falling 3-2 to Vol State in the evening. Aaron Wright and Ryan Whitt homered in the win over Dyersburg. ■ ELON, N.C. — The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team wrapped up the regular season Sunday with a 4-3 extrainning loss at Elon and head into the Southern Conference tournament on a four-game losing streak. Freshman Sam Taylor went 2-for-5 and scored twice for the Lady Mocs (26-26, 10-11), and fellow freshman Anyssa Robles was 2-for-4 with an RBI in the loss, that slips UTC to the No. 6 seed in the SoCon tournament, which begins Wednesday in Greensboro, N.C., with the Lady Mocs taking on No. 3 seed Georgia Southern at 2 p.m. Rachel Albritton started in the pitching circle for UTC, and she went the distance allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts over 72⁄3 innings before giving up the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Carleigh Nestor in the bottom of the eighth inning. ■ Caroline MacCausland pitched the Lady Flames to victory as Lee University beat Spring Hill 1-0 for the Southern States Athletic Conference softball tournament championship Sunday in Columbus, Ga. Lee’s Ana Coscorrosa was awarded SSAC Conference Championship MVP after batting .620 for the championship with five RBI’s. ■ The second-ranked Tennessee softball team bounced back from being no-hit in a 2-0 loss at 11th-ranked Missouri on Saturday with 12 hits and a five-inning 10-1 win that night and lost 12-8 in Sunday’s season finale. The Lady Vols finished second Southeastern Conference’s regular-season standings. Raven Chavanne was 4-for-4 with a two-run home run and three runs scored and Lauren Gibson hit a three-run homer for Tennessee in Saturday’s second game.

TRACK & FIELD ■ Bryan College hosted the inaugural Swiftwick Classic track and field meet Friday night on Rhea County High School’s renovated track, and three Bryan athletes turned in times that qualified them for the NAIA national meet. Four Lions and Lady Lions set personal bests, including Jessica Stockton with a school-record 18:36.94 in the 5000meter run and Anthony Simpson with a 14:51.58 NAIA qualifying time in the men’s 5000. Teammates Connor Hatfield, Jason McLeod, Joel Johnston and Tim Sigmon paraded behind him. Bryan’s Alex Stephens in the men’s 1500, Sarah White despite foot pain in the women’s 800 and Elle Fields with a PR in the women’s 400 were meet runnersup. BASKETBALL ■ Dalton High School’s Rico Mears, Demond Rucker and Brandon Painter have agreed to play basketball together for Georgia Northwestern Technical College. Rucker and Mears were all-region players for the Catamounts, who went 19-9 overall and 8-2 in 7-AAAA in their senior season, and GNTC coach David Stephenson said the 6-foot-1 Painter has “a great head for the game” and is “capable of anything” as a valuable addition, too. Dalton coach Mike Duffie described the 6-4 Rucker as a “huge inside presence for us [who] can play 15 feet from the basket” and “truly a diamond in the rough” for the Bobcats, and Stephenson sees him as a slashing small forward. The 5-10 Mears is a “terrific on-the-ball defender,” Duffie said, who not only led the Catamounts in steals but also was one of their top rebounders. “Finding a true tough and gritty defender at the guard slot is becoming harder and harder to do,” Stephenson said. “I believe Rico truly brings that to the floor.” Staff Reports MARKTRAIL Saturday’s winning numbers: Cash 3 Midday: 4-9-3 Cash 4 Midday: 9-0-6-8 Georgia FIVE Midday: 4-9-4-1-8 Cash 3 Evening: 1-4-8 Cash 4 Evening: 1-6-5-2 Georgia FIVE Evening: 3-1-5-1-4 Fantasy 5: 6-7-11-12-33 Win For Life: 1-3-5-15-21-33 Win For Life Free Ball: 39 ■ SPORTS EDITOR Jay Greeson (423) 757-6273 [email protected] ■ DEPUTY SPORTS EDITOR Ron Bush (423) 757-6291 [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Jim Tanner (423) 757-6478 [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Ward Gossett (423) 757-6288 [email protected] by phone: (423) 757-6364 or 1-800-733-2637 • by fax: (423) 668-5049 • by e-mail: [email protected] ■ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Stephen Hargis (423) 757-6293 [email protected] ... . timesfreepress.com • • Monday, May 6, 2013 • C3 Breaking News: [email protected] Georgia prep golf teams taking aim at state ■ While some area teams have By David Uchiyama Staff Writer Jim McGrew figured his Northwest Whitfield boys golf team would be playing today in a State Sectional. They finished third in the Region 7-AAAA championship behind Dalton, which earned an automatic bid to the state championship. Heritage finished runner-up followed by the Bruins who were one spot ahead of LaFayette. It seemed those three teams would be playing today. But a new required qualifying score eliminated the need for a state sectional in the boy’s Class- already qualified for the state championships, others must advance via a sectional round that begins today. AAAA division. So Dalton, Heritage, Northwest and LaFayette will all be competing for the Class AAAA state championship on May 20 at Dalton Golf and Country Club. “What we as coaches put in place for this year is that you have teams that deserve to be at state,” McGrew said. “You had people at state with high scores. As it turned out, only 15 teams met the score which means all 15 teams are coming to Dalton, and we’re the host.” But other Northwest Georgia teams do not have the luxury of practicing at home today. Trion is in a tournament where 12 teams are playing for four spots in their classification. Calhoun and Dade County are part of a nine teams for eight spots in the Class AA sectional which has been pushed to Friday at Blueberry Plantation in Alma, Ga. On the girls side, Northwest, Heritage and Southeast Whitfield finished behind Dalton which puts those three schools in a 13-for-11 tournament today. The Trion and Gordon Lee girls are in a 12-for-4 spot today. “It’s all about getting to state,” Northwest girls coach John Linder said. “I like sectionals because the whole idea was to get better competition at state and weed out the weaker teams.” Each of the Georgia classifications will hold one-day state championships on May 20 at courses across the state. In addition to the championship at Dalton, Nob North Golf Course will be site of the girls Class-AAAA championship. The Dalton boys, Ringgold boys, Gordon Lee boys as well as the Dalton girls, Calhoun girls and North Murray County girls do not have to sweat a sectional. They’re all going to the state championship. “What we’d get in the past is some team from here or there that would shoot 400 at state and slow everybody down,” North Murray coach Keith Robinette said. “With qualifying scores, we should have better tournaments.” Contact David Uchiyama at [email protected] or at 423-757-6484.

Lady Mocs signees wait for new coach By John Frierson Staff Writer The Associated Press Derek Ernst chips to the 15th green during Sunday’s final round of the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. Ernst defeated David Lynn on the first playoff hole to win the tournament. Ernst wins Wells Fargo in playoff By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — One phone call changed his plans. One shot changed a whole lot more for Derek Ernst. Six days after Ernst received a call that he was in the Wells Fargo Championship as the fourth alternate, the 22year-old rookie found himself one shot out of the lead and 192 yards away from the flag on the 18th hole, the toughest at Quail Hollow in the cold, wind and rain of a grueling final round. Ernst choked up on a 6-iron and hit a draw that landed 4 feet from the hole for one of only four birdies on the closing hole Sunday. “I was trying to hit it as close as I possibly could,” he said. The birdie gave him a 2-under 70 and tied him with David Lynn of England, who also had a 70. And it turned out to be no fluke. Returning to the 18th in the playoff, as the rain started coming out harder, Ernst hit a 3-iron to about 15 feet left of the flag that set up his stunning victory. Phil Mickelson didn’t get a chance to join them. He had a one-shot lead with three holes to play until making back-to-back bogeys, missing putts of 6 feet and 10 feet. His 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th narrowly missed, and Mickelson closed with a 73. “I felt like I was in control, and I let it slip away there the last few holes, so it was disappointing,” Mickelson said. So ended a strange week at Quail Hollow. The greens were shockingly bad due to weather and agronomical issues, which led to several players dropping out. The sun never really came out all week, and the wind chill Sunday morning made it hard to believe it was the first weekend in May. It felt like February at Pebble Beach. Turns out there was one final surprise. Ernst was playing only his ninth PGA Tour event. He was No. 1,207 in the world ranking. He was in a car headed to Athens, Ga., to play a Web.com Tour event when he got the phone call that there was a tee time for him at Quail Hollow. “This feeling is unbelievable right now,” said Ernst, who wasn’t sure where he was going at the start of the week and can’t believe where he’s going now. Kerr wins Kingsmill At Williamsburg, Va., Cristie Kerr made a short par putt on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Suzann Pettersen to win the Kingsmill Championship for the third time. The victory was the 16th of Kerr’s career, and her third in five career playoffs. She also won at the River Course in 2005 and 2009. Kerr shot a 2-under-par 69, and Pettersen had a 67 to finish at 12-under 272 on the River Course. Toledo inspires At The Woodlands, Texas, Esteban Toledo celebrated Cinco de Mayo by becoming the first Mexican winner in Champions Tour history, beating Mike Goodes with a par on the third hole of a playoff in the Insperity Championship. The 50-year-old Toledo, making his ninth start on the 50-and-over tour, eagled the opening hole and finished with a 5-under 67 to match Goodes and Gene Sauers at 6-under 210 at The Woodlands Country Club. Todd tops Stadion At Athens, Ga., former Georgia Bulldogs star Brendon Todd won the Web. com Tour’s Stadion Classic when rain washed out the fourth round at the University of Georgia Golf Course. The 2007 graduate became the third consecutive Bulldogs player to win the event. Russell Henley won in 2011 while still in school, and Hudson Swafford took the 2012 title. Todd shot a 2-under 69 on Saturday to reach 8-under 205, a stroke ahead of Tim Wilkinson. Derby winner Orb preps for Preakness By Beth Harris The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Now that Shug McGaughey has won the Kentucky Derby, it’s time for the 62-year-old trainer to go after another race missing from his Hall of Fame resume. Orb will follow up his win at Churchill Downs by running in the Preakness on May 18, giving the colt a shot at the Triple Crown. Orb arrived back at his home base in New York on Sunday, as did McGaughey and jockey Joel Rosario. The trainer was still absorbing what happened a day earlier. The colt extended his winning streak to five races, splashing through the slop to win the Derby by 21⁄4 lengths, giving McGaughey and Rosario their first Derby wins. Orb rallied from 17th and made a sweeping move on the turn for home to win. “It did not matter if it was wet or dry, the best horse won,” rival trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. McGaughey has never won the Preakness in two previous attempts. He hasn’t had a horse in the race since 1989, when Easy Goer The Associated Press Jockey Joel Rosario and Orb will now begin working toward the Preakness Stakes after winning the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday. finished second to Sunday Silence, duplicating their Derby finish that year. For a trainer who has always shown patience with his horses, McGaughey is eagerly anticipating the grueling Triple Crown campaign that compresses three races into a five-week span. “I can’t wait to get to the Preakness and do it again,” he said. It’s fitting that Orb is set to run in Baltimore, the hometown of Stuart Janney III. He and co-owner Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps, who also bred Orb, have never won the Preakness. “The Preakness is important to me. I grew up around it, went there all the time,” Janney said. McGaughey has worked exclusively for Janney and Phipps for years, training the horses they breed. In a sport known for rampant jealousy, there was an outpouring of goodwill for all three men after the Derby. Trainers Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown stopped by to wish McGaughey well, while Lukas and Bob Baffert, who didn’t have a horse in the race, spoke warmly of him, too. “It was a wonderful victory for Stuart Janney and Dinny Phipps. There was a lot of karma there that rewards people that have been great to the sport,” Lukas said. “I saw Dinny before the race and told him that I thought it was going to be his turn and I was a little worried.” After watching replays of the Derby, McGaughey was more impressed with Orb. “The maturity he showed yesterday in everything he did, from his Derby day to his experience in the paddock, which was tremendous, going in the post and the way he raced, it was kind of amazing to me,” he said. Orb will see some familiar challengers in the 13⁄16-mile Preakness. Mylute and Oxbow, who finished fifth and sixth in the Derby, along with Will Take Charge (eighth), Itsmyluckyday (15th) and Goldencents (17th) are likely to face off against him again. Moses Johnson was in the gym shooting Saturday when she received a phone call asking how she was handling the uncertainty surrounding the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball program. Johnson, a second-team Georgia Class A all-state forward from Greenforest Christian Academy, near Atlanta, is one of six Lady Mocs signees. They, like UTC’s returning players, have been in limbo for a month, since longtime coach Wes Moore left UTC to be the head coach at North Carolina State. “I was really looking forward to playing for Coach Moore,” Johnson told the Times Free Press. “I cried when he told me he was leaving. ... I love the school and I love the city, but he was one of the main reasons why I did sign with UTC. “I’m just waiting to meet the new coach.” UTC, which has men’s and women’s basketball coach openings, could have both filled by the end of this week. Johnson remains excited about UTC, but that excitement is guarded because not knowing who the coach will be is a major unknown. Guard Chelsey Shumpert made the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal’s all-state first team, as did fellow guard and signee Whitney Hartlage. While Hartlage said she’s “still with UTC all the way,” Shumpert said she’s more uncertain about her future. “I’ve talked to my dad and coach about it a little bit and we’re trying figure things out,” said Shumpert, a 5-foot-3 senior at Paducah Tilighman High School that began playing on the varsity ■ UTC’s newest group of players is anxious to find out who will replace former coach Wes Moore. squad as a seventh grader. “I haven’t really made a decision on if I’m staying or leaving, though I don’t think we can do that anyway. “I haven’t come to my final conclusion about what I’m going to do yet.” A player who doesn’t attend the designated institution after signing a national letter of intent can lose two years of eligibility. The Lady Mocs, who tied a school record with 29 wins in Moore’s final season, only lost two seniors: shooting guard Kayla Christopher and wing Kylie Lambert. Christopher finished her career third all-time in the Southern Conference with 229 3-pointers. Moore spoke very highly of his final signing class and he said his guards from Kentucky (Shumpert and Hartlage) could help fill the outside-shooting void left by Christopher’s graduation. “The cupboard is going to be full,” Moore said prior to leaving UTC. “You’ve got a very strong nucleus of players coming back, and I really think the freshman class, we’ve got one for every position, is very talented.” Freshman orientation begins in June, and the newcomers will report to campus in August. “It’s very weird,” Shumpert said of not having a coach right now. “We’re hoping for the best, that somebody comes in and does a good job with it.” Contact John Frierson at jfrierson@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6268.

Islanders 4, OT: Chris Kunitz scored his second power-play goal of the game 8:34 into overtime, off a pass from Sidney Crosby, and the Pittsburgh Penguins shook off an early deficit and a late blown lead to beat the New York Islanders in Game 3 of the firstround series. The Eastern Conference’s top-seeded team rode severe ups and downs in taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup. Pittsburgh trailed 2-0 just 5:41 in but rallied to lead 3-2 before the first period was over. The comeback started with power-play goals just 19 seconds apart by Jarome Iginla and Kunitz. The Penguins seemed in control in the third period, but New York erased a 4-2 deficit on goals by Kyle Okposo and John Tavares. Pittsburgh will try to take a commanding 3-1 series lead Tuesday night on Long Island.Crosby, who had three assists in his second game back after missing a month because of a broken jaw, drew the decisive penalty against Brian Strait, who held the Penguins captain as he drove the net 33 seconds before the winning goal. ■ Minnesota 3, Chicago 2, OT: Jason Zucker scored at 2:15 of overtime to give Minnesota a victory over Chicago, pulling the Wild within 2-1 in the Western Conference quarterfinal series. Zach Parise scored for the Wild early in the third period, but Duncan Keith got one back for the Blackhawks with 2:46 left in regulation to force the second overtime in three games of this best-of-seven series. Game 4 is here on Tuesday night. Keith’s snap shot glanced off Wild defenseman Marco Scandella and past goalie Josh Harding to make the score 2-2. But after Matt Cullen ferociously chased the puck along the end boards in the opening action of overtime, Zucker swooped in to surprise Johnny Oduya as the Blackhawks defenseman was about to fight for possession with Cullen. Zucker’s bad-angle shot slipped past goalie Corey Crawford. ■ Ottawa 6, Montreal 1: Jean-Gabriel Pageau got his first NHL hat trick to lead the Ottawa Senators in a fightfilled victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The teams combined for 232 penalty minutes and nine players were given a game misconduct. The Senators have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series and Game 4 is Tuesday night in Ottawa. The third period started out with the Senators leading 2-1, but after Pageau’s second goal of the night and a Kyle Turris goal at 7:00, emotions overflowed and a line brawl broke out at center ice. Pageau, who was born in Ottawa, scored his second of the game at 1:18 of the third period to give the Senators a 3-1 lead. Turris’ goal, his first of the series, at 7:00 put the game out of reach. On the ensuing faceoff, four different fights broke out. ■ Vancouver at San Jose, late C4 • Monday, May 6, 2013 • • • NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDINGS EAST Atlanta Washington Philadelphia New York Miami CENTRAL St. Louis Cincinnati Pittsburgh Milwaukee Chicago WEST San Francisco Colorado Arizona Los Angeles San Diego W 18 17 14 12 10 W 20 18 17 14 11 W 19 18 16 13 13 L 12 15 18 16 22 L 11 14 14 16 20 L 12 13 15 17 18 .. timesfreepress.com ..

This Date in Baseball May 6 1915 — As a pitcher for Boston, Babe Ruth had three hits, including his first major league home run when he connected off Jack Warhop of the New York Yankees at the Polo Grounds. 1917 — Bob Groom of the Browns duplicated teammate Ernie Koob’s feat of the previous day by pitching a 3-0 no-hit victory against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis. 1951 — Cliff Chambers of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched a 3-0 no-hitter in the second game of a doubleheader against the Braves in Boston. 1953 — Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns pitched a 6-0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Athletics in his first major league start. He never pitched another complete game in the majors. 1982 — Gaylord Perry of the Seattle Mariners became the 15th major league pitcher with 300 victories when he defeated the New York Yankees 7-3 at the Kingdome. 1994 — Anthony Young won as a starter for the first time in more than two years as the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1. The win ended Young’s 29-game losing streak as a starter. 1998 — Rookie Kerry Wood tied the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game, pitching a one-hitter to lead the Chicago Cubs over the Houston Astros 2-0. The 20-year-old right-hander tied the record set by Boston’s Roger Clemens against Seattle in 1986, and matched by Clemens against Detroit in 1996. Wood broke the NL record of 19 strikeouts in a nine-inning game, held by Steve Carlton, Tom Seaver and David Cone. 2005 — San Diego’s Trevor Hoffman became the third pitcher in major league history to reach 400 saves in the Padres’ 6-5 victory over St. Louis. Hoffman joined Lee Smith (478) and John Franco (424) in the 400-save club. Marlins 14, Phillies 2 Miami AB R H BI BB SO Avg.

Because of field conditions, weather and a growing time crunch, the GSC decided to leave Chattanooga and play the final three days of the tournament at West Georgia in Carrollton, Ga., Chattanooga Sports Committee president Tim Morgan said. “They’ve got to get this tournament done,” Morgan said, “and there were just too many ‘what ifs’ here.” Saturday’s three games were rained out, as were two games Sunday. The championship game was scheduled for today. The players on the six remaining teams were able to take batting practice at Chattanooga State on Sunday. Even though the weather wasn’t cooperative, Morgan said he received positive feedback from the GSC and its coaches about the experience at AT&T Field. This was the first year Chattanooga hosted the tournament, though it might not be the last. ROAD REPORT BARONS 16, LOOKOUTS 14 ■ Sunday’s recap: Birmingham completed a five-game sweep by battering Chattanooga relief pitchers for 11 runs in the sixth through eighth innings. The Barons scored five in the eighth to take a 16-13 lead, getting two on a throwing error by Lookouts shortstop Miguel Rojas. The Lookouts (11-19) took a 9-4 lead with a sevenrun third inning, which was highlighted by two-run singles by Rojas and Yasiel Puig. Puig went 3-for-6 to raise his average to .306, while fellow outfielder Joc Pederson went 4-for-6 to raise his average to .301. ■ Next game: The Lookouts are off today before Mobile comes to AT&T Field for a five-game series beginning Tuesday night at 7:15. ■ Pitchers: Zach Lee (2-2, 2.56) is scheduled to start for the Lookouts, while the BayBears have not announced their starter.

The Associated Press Atlanta’s Freddie Freeman scores under New York Mets starting pitcher Jonathon Niese during the third inning at Turner Field on Sunday. The Braves won 9-4. Braves power past Mets By Charles Odum The Associated Press ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman is returning to form and Brian McCann is returning to the lineup. That’s good news for the Atlanta Braves. Freeman homered and drove in three runs, Tim Hudson pitched into the eighth inning and Atlanta beat the New York Mets 9-4 on Sunday. Reed Johnson also had three RBIs for the Braves. Freeman, who finished with three hits, smacked a two-run double off left-hander Jonathon Niese in a five-run third and added a sixth-inning homer off reliever Jeurys Familia. The left-handed hitting Freeman hit his home run to left field. The opposite-field shot showed manager Fredi Gonzalez that Freeman is back in form after missing two weeks in April with a strained left oblique. “When he’s doing that, when any hitter is driving the ball to the opposite field, you know he’s starting to get locked in,” Gonzalez said. It was an important rebound for the Braves, who had scored a combined six runs in three straight defeats, including a 7-5 loss to the Mets in 10 innings Friday night. Freeman boosted his batting average to .313. “I feel good,” he said. “It’s a work in progress. The last couple of days everything has been working out.” The Braves had 12 hits and seven walks. “I thought our approach at the plate was outstanding,” Gonzalez said. “The last couple of games I think our offense is picking up a little bit.” Atlanta’s lineup will receive another boost today when McCann, a six-time All-Star catcher, comes off the disabled list. McCann has been recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn Nunley • Continued from Page C1 come in and do. I didn’t anticipate she would win 20 games as a freshman, especially with the schedule we have.” Kentucky (38-17, 13-11) will be seeded seventh and will play 10th-seeded South Carolina in its SEC tournament opener Wednesday at 4 p.m. Softball • Continued from Page C1 or triple-A. We don’t have the number of players or pitchers that they do.” Making matters worse, the national weather service’s local forecast is a 60 percent chance of rain today with a high temperature of 65. “We might all be outside with hair dryers,” Goforth said. Another tournament the rain has created chaos for is District 5-AAA. Action got under way Friday with three games played at the home sites of higher-seeded teams, but five games were set for Saturday at Rhea County where the remaining games are scheduled to be played. Tournament director Micah Ruehling said the games originally scheduled for 11 a.m. and 1 and 3 p.m. on Saturday have been rescheduled today at 4, 6 and 8 p.m. “We’re going to try to do three games at a time,” Ruehling said of the daily schedule going forward. “Then if Walker Valley is still playing Thursday, they have graduation and we’re going to have labrum in his right shoulder. David Wright hit a two-run homer in the fourth off Hudson (4-1), who gave up three runs on five hits and a 1 walk in 7 ⁄3 innings. Wright has homered in three straight games, giving him five overall. Niese (2-3) matched his career high with six walks while allowing seven runs and seven hits in four-plus innings. His ERA rose from 3.31 to 4.66. “I walked way too many guys,” Niese said. “It’s embarrassing. I know what I have to work on. In bullpens I’m going to work on pounding the zone and throwing strikes. “I’ve just got to learn from it and know when to expand the zone and when not to.” Niese had been New York’s scheduled starter for Saturday’s game, which was postponed by rain. He was making his first start since April 28 — exactly one week. “Most likely he was probably too strong,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “He was losing guys on his twoseamer and he’s a ground-ball guy.” Collins said Niese had “just no feel today.” “It’s all due to the fact it’s been seven days since he’s pitched,” Collins said. “He was too strong. He didn’t have his good command.” The Mets scored twice in the eighth before Eric O’Flaherty struck out Marlon Byrd with the bases loaded to end the inning. “We kept battling,” Collins said. “We made it a game in the eighth, which I’m very happy for.” Niese’s last two walks came in the fifth, when he was pulled with none out and the bases loaded. Johnson hit a two-run single off Familia. The Braves sent 10 batters to the plate in the third. Andrelton Simmons “I feel pretty good about the team,” Nunley said. “I have confidence in them. They’re always behind me. I feel like if we play to our potential like we can, we can play with really good teams and beat them like we have before.” Contact Kelley Smiddie at ksmiddie@timesfreepress. com or 423-757-6653. Follow him on Twitter at twitter. com/KelleySmiddie. to work around that.” Regardless of Walker Valley’s situation, by playing three games per day the next three days the tournament could be completed before Saturday. If today’s games are unplayable, Ruehling said they’ll likely have to seek permission from the state office to play Saturday. District 6-AA was supposed to have started two days ago with three softball games on two fields at White Oak Park in Red Bank. Tournament director Randy Smith said those games are now scheduled today on two fields at Warner Park, where the remainder of the tournament will be played. As of now, the action in 6AA will run one day behind the original schedule. Tuesday will remain an off day because of the park’s unavailability that day. The final is now planned for Friday. District’s 5-A and 5-AA did not have softball games scheduled Saturday. Both districts have two games scheduled today. If those are unable to be played, the schedule is expected to be pushed back a day. Championships, including ‘if necessary’ games, would be played Friday. doubled and scored on Justin Upton’s single. Freeman drove in two runs with his double over left fielder Lucas Duda and scored from third on a wild pitch one out later. Johnson added a runscoring single for a 5-0 lead. Hudson is almost unbeatable when given such a lead. He improved to 1566 when receiving at least four runs of support while still in the game. “Getting Huddy five runs in the first three innings, you start to feel good about yourself,” Freeman said. After Wright’s two-run homer to center in the fourth, Johnson pushed the lead to 7-2 with his bases-loaded single off Familia. Freeman hit his second homer in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Mike Baxter led off the eighth with a double against Hudson and scored on Duda’s single off Luis Avilan. Cory Gearrin hit John Buck with a pitch to load the bases with two outs. O’Flaherty, Atlanta’s fourth pitcher of the inning, walked pinch-hitter Justin Turner to force in a run before striking out Byrd on a 3-2 pitch. Braves rookie catcher Evan Gattis had two hits and an eighth-inning sacrifice fly off Scott Atchison to drive in Upton. Gonzalez skipped Saturday’s starter, Julio Teheran, so Hudson and the other starters could remain on schedule. Teheran was available out of the bullpen. With the Mets also off on Monday, Collins said he wasn’t happy his starters would have too much rest. His other option would have been to have Matt Harvey remain on schedule and start Sunday. “I don’t like it. I don’t like it a lick,” Collins said before the game. “But if you skip Jon Niese, all of a sudden now he doesn’t pitch in 10 days. So you move them both back, you try to keep them as prepared as you can.” Floyd Mayweather superb in easy win By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press LAS VEGAS — The defense was back, just like it used to be. Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dad was back, too, just like he used to be. And Mayweather was a winner once again — just like he always is. Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year’s absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight title fight. The game plan was defense, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance not totally expected at the age of 36. “I needed my father tonight,” Mayweather said. “My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last.” Mayweather was masterful at times, landing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a performance that mimicked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several occasions, including a series of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees. All three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109. “We did it again,” Mayweather said after earning at least $32 million for his night’s work. “I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He’s a true warrior.” If it wasn’t terribly pleasing to the crowd of 15,880, it was terribly effective. Mayweather made a fighter who hadn’t lost in eight years look befuddled as he danced and moved and shot out right hands with increasing frequency. He remained unbeaten in 44 fights and, more importantly, looked so fresh that he may follow through on his plan to fight again in September. “I was looking for the knockout but I hurt my hand,” Mayweather said. “I feel bad I didn’t give the fans the knockout.” Mayweather was booed at times for not mixing it up more, but he didn’t need to. He was content to move and land jabs and right hand leads, while Guerrero grew increasingly frustrated trying to chase him. When Guerrero did hit him, Mayweather quickly got out of the way and, more often than not, landed a right hand of his own. “I landed some good shots on him,” Guerrero said. “He’s a great fighter. He’s slick and quick.” C6 • Monday, May 6, 2013 • • • .. timesfreepress.com .. Breaking News: 423-757-News NASCAR SUNDAY NBA PLAYOFFS ■ Oklahoma City 93, Memphis 91: Down by one in the • Continued from Page C1 • Continued from Page C1 than one surgery and considerable time away from the court. But not this season. Not only did Curry set the NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a season with 272, he also hit 11 of 13 from behind the arc one night in torching the New York Knicks for 54 inside Madison Square Garden. Beyond that, his 45.3 percent accuracy from treysville is the best ever for those on the top 10 list of most 3-pointers made in one season. No wonder Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of his backcourt of Curry and Klay Thompson, “In my opinion, they’re the greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” That may seem like a pretty bold statement for a couple of guys who had never won a playoff series together before defeating Denver. But in light of younger brother Seth’s just-completed career at Duke (he and Stephen own the NCAA career record for most combined points by two brothers) and father Dell’s 16-year NBA career as a dead-eye shooter — he retired with an 11.7 scoring average and a 40.2 percent average from the 3-point line — it’s easy to proclaim the Currys the best-shooting family ever. “Stephen’s shot is just like his dad’s, a quick release and deadly accurate,” said Tic James one vote shy of unanimous MVP writers and broadcasters cast ballots in the NBA MVP voting, with a combined online fan vote also being taken into account. Shaquille O’Neal got every first-place vote but one in the 1999-2000 season, when one person cast his ballot for Allen Iverson — who finished seventh that year. This season, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder finished second, well ahead of Anthony, who was third and didn’t even appear on nine of the ballots cast. James was the only player listed on all 121 ballots; Durant was omitted from two, according to the results released by the NBA. “I’ll take that vote,” Anthony said, adding that James was a deserving winner. For months, there really had only been two questions about this season’s MVP race: When will James get the award, and would By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press MIAMI — LeBron James was at his best this season, and the voters tasked with selecting the NBA’s Most Valuable Player took notice. Every voter except one, that is. The NBA still does not have a unanimous MVP, though no one has come closer than James did this season. The Miami Heat star was presented with the Maurice Podoloff Trophy for the fourth time in his career on Sunday after collecting 120 of the 121 first-place votes, with Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks picking up the lone remaining top choice. “It was probably a writer out of New York that didn’t give me that vote,” James said. “And we know the history between the Heat and the Knicks, so I get it.” A panel of 120 sports Price, the Memphis head coach and UTC assistant whose playing career at Virginia Tech ended the season before Dell Curry’s began. “Dell had such long arms and quick hands. People underestimated him defensively. He was really good.” A reporter asked Price if a game of H-O-R-S-E among the Curry men could drag on like a premiere cricket match, lasting for days at a time, the net under such siege that it probably had to be changed as often as socks. “It could,” he said. “But even though Stephen might be the best shooter we’ve seen, and Seth’s pretty good, too, I might have to pick Dell. He’d definitely give him a run for his money.” Warriors coach Jackson once challenged Stephen one-on-one. Curry was 12. When the two were interviewed by ESPN on Sunday, Jackson said of those games, “Be honest, I cooked you.” But asked if they’d played of late, since Jackson took over as coach of the Warriors and Curry is now paid to play, the coach said with a grin: “I don’t know if you’ve heard this, but I was a pretty smart player.

The first of those answers became known Friday, the other on Sunday, and even as he was on the dais to pick up the award the now-four-time MVP quickly started steering all of his attention back to the goal of helping the Heat win a second straight title. Miami hosts Chicago in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals tonight, when NBA Commissioner David Stern will present James with the trophy, largely just for the benefit of giving Heat fans a pregame reason to cheer. “My ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship,” James said. “That’s what I was brought here for. That’s why I signed here as a free agent in 2010. It wasn’t to win MVP trophies. It was to win a championship — and win multiple championships — and that’s still my No. 1 priority.” never played him again after he was 12.” Curry’s 25 now and — with apologies to Western Carolina product Kevin Martin, who got 25 for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday — easily the best player produced by the Southern Conference since UTC’s Gerald Wilkins.

With darkness quickly closing in, contact between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and J.J. Yeley triggered a frightening crash that sent Kurt Busch’s car airborne and on top of Ryan Newman’s car. Newman has been in numerous harrowing accidents at Daytona and Talladega, where NASCAR uses restrictor-plates to control the speeds, and was sharp with his criticism after exiting the infield care center. He said he only stopped to do a live television interview to criticize cars still being able to go airborne. “They can build safer race cars, they can build safer walls. But they can’t get their heads out of their (expletive) far enough to keep them on the race track, and that’s pretty disappointing,” Newman said. “I wanted to make sure I get that point across. Y’all can figure out who ‘they’ is.” He also was upset NASCAR continued the race with darkness closing in on the track so quickly. “That’s no way to end a race,” he said. “That’s just poor judgment in restarting the race, poor judgment. I mean, you got what you wanted, but poor judgment and running in the dark and running in the rain. That’s it, thank you.” Busch wasn’t injured in the accident. “We just got hit from behind, and along for the ride we went,” he said, adding “Yes, lovely,” when asked if he was OK. NASCAR sent the race into overtime after the final accident for one attempt at a greenwhite-checkered finish, and it seemed as though it might have been Kenseth’s race to win. He led a race-high 142 laps and was the leader on the final restart but was passed by Edwards on the first lap of overtime. He tried to get the lead back and was battling Edwards with no drafting partner. He never saw the pack coming behind him and, with nowhere to go, fell out of contention in the blink of an eye. final minute, Oklahoma City’s Derek Fisher turned a tough situation for the Thunder into the worst-case scenario for the Grizzlies. Fisher poked the ball away from Memphis’ Mike Conley, springing three-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant into the open court with a chance to put the Thunder on top. Durant pulled up and connected on a jumper with 11.1 seconds left for the last of his 35 points, lifting the Thunder over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. “I just wanted to get up the floor as quick as possible and find a shot,” said Durant, who finished second in league MVP voting announced Sunday. “That was the only shot I could find and, by the grace of God, it went in.” Game 2 is Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. Thabo Sefolosha kept the Grizzlies from going back ahead, deflecting a pass that Conley was able to corral — but only after diving out of bounds. Reggie Jackson then hit a pair of free throws for a three-point lead, and Quincy Pondexter couldn’t force overtime after getting fouled while attempting a 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left. Pondexter, a 72 percent career free-throw shooter, missed the first free throw. He made his second attempt before intentionally missing the third, but Durant swatted the rebound away and Marc Gasol’s attempt at a buzzer-beater was late. “We couldn’t get stops. That’s why we lost,” said Gasol, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds. “We didn’t lose because of free throws.” Kevin Martin scored 25 for Oklahoma City, which trailed for much of the game but was able to avoid repeating its Game 1 loss from when these two teams met in the West semifinals two years ago. The Thunder were able to rally and win that series in seven. Fisher, a five-time NBA champion who only joined the Thunder after asking to be released by Dallas for family reasons earlier in the season, turned this game around with his defense. Conley had gotten past him on a drive to the basket when Fisher reached in from behind and knocked the ball free. It was just the stop Oklahoma City needed. ■ Indiana 102, New York 95: David West scored 20 points, Paul George added 19 and the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. D.J. Augustin had 16 points for the Pacers, who built a 16point lead while Carmelo Anthony was on the bench in foul trouble in the third quarter, and easily held on to spoil the Knicks’ first second-round game since 2000. “I thought guys did a good job just putting them on their heels,” West said. “We were attacking, we were aggressive.” Anthony finished with 27 points and 11 rebounds but was frustrated by the Pacers’ rugged defense and by the referees. He shot 10 of 28 from the field and was perhaps thrown out of sync having to defend West, a natural power forward, inside. Game 2 is here Tuesday night, and then the series takes a lengthy break before Game 3 on Saturday in Indiana. The Pacers, who allowed the second-fewest points per game and the lowest field goal percentage in the league during the regular season, mixed in solid offense as well. They outscored New York 59-38 across the middle two quarters and were comfortably ahead throughout the fourth. “Just a strong defensive effort and then offensively guys played with great poise,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “Just a complete team effort, very proud of them.” Roy Hibbert scored 14 points in thoroughly outplaying counterpart Tyson Chandler, and George Hill also had 14 for the Pacers, adding seven rebounds and six assists. Lance Stephenson added 11 points and 13 rebounds playing in his hometown. ... .

By Gary Clothier Q: What did William Randolph Hearst call Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif.? — V.L.M., Roanoke, Va. A: Hearst called it La Cuesta Encantada — the Enchanted Hill. In 1865, George Hearst, a wealthy miner, purchased 40,000 acres of California ranchland. In those days, it was known as Camp Hill and was a place for family and friends to rough it on camping trips. In 1919, Hearst’s son, William Randolph Hearst, inherited the land from his mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst. By this time, the ranch had grown to 250,000 acres. Tired of the camping experience, Hearst instructed San Francisco-based architect Julia Morgan to build a “little something.” By 1947, an estate of 165 rooms — including 38 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 14 sitting rooms and two libraries — and 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and walkways was completed. Hearst died in 1951, and the Hearst Corp. donated the property to California in 1957.

HEALTH COMMENTARY Lower back pain: many causes, treatments Dove’s ‘Real Beauty’ ads sell women short By Meghan Daum Los Angeles Times DEAR DOCTOR K: I have low back pain. A friend of mine with back pain had surgery, but I want to avoid that. What are my options? DEAR READER: There are many different causes of low back pain, and therefore many different treatments. So the first step is to diagnose Dr. K the cause. Dr. Anthony Your primaKomaroff ry care doctor probably will be able to do that, just based on your symptoms and the physical examination. Sometimes the diagnosis may not be straightforward, and the primary care doctor either will order tests or refer you to a back pain specialist, or both. Back pain is quite common. The U.S. government conducted a survey (the National Health Interview Survey) of 30,000 randomly selected people, asking if they had suffered from back pain that lasted at least a whole day in the prior three months; 26 percent said they had. Many people with low back pain don’t even seek medical care, as the symptom either comes and goes, or is not very severe. Fortunately, very few of the millions of people like you with back pain require surgery. Simpler treatments are not only available; they’re much more likely to relieve the pain. A common cause of low back pain is injury to the muscles and ligaments around the spine, something that doesn’t benefit from surgery. There are disks between the bones of the spine, and if they rupture, they can pinch nerves that lead to the buttocks and legs. Only occasionally is surgery necessary to fix this condition. If your back pain is so severe that it interferes with simple activities, call your doctor. If the pain has been going on for several weeks, call your doctor. If, along with your low back pain, you have certain worrisome “red flag” symptoms, you definitely should see your doctor. Each of these symptoms increases your risk of a more serious cause of low back pain, including kinds that might benefit from surgery: ■ You have a persistent fever and loss of energy. ■ You sometimes lose control of your bowel movements or urine. ■ Your legs seem weak. ■ Your legs are numb. ■ You have had cancer. ■ You have thin bones (osteoporosis). ■ You are on a medicine that can thin the bones, such as corticosteroids (the most commonly prescribed type is prednisone) or thyroid pills. The treatment of low back pain often requires more than your primary care doctor. It can “take a village” — or at least a group of health professionals. The types of doctors who most often consult in the care of people with low back pain are rheumatologists, orthopedists, neurosurgeons and physiatrists (rehabilitation specialists). Physical therapists also can be helpful. I’ve put a chart listing specialists you may see, along with their specific areas of expertise, on my website, AskDoctorK. com. FAITH Familiarity will ease nervousness in church Q: I’ve only been going to church for a few months, and it still makes me kind of nervous. I’m always afraid I’ll make a fool of myself — like standing at the wrong time or asking dumb questions. Will I ever get over this? Maybe church isn’t for me. — Mrs. R.E. A: No one likes to be embarrassed, and that’s why most of us feel nervous when we’re in a new situation — whether it’s in a new church, or a new job, or even our first day in school. And yes, you’ll get over these feelings, once things become familiar to you — just as you’ve Billy Graham d o n e i n other new situations. In reality, though, you shouldn’t be so concerned about this, because in church you’re surrounded by people who love you and genuinely want to help you — even if you don’t yet know them. And that’s what I encourage you to do — get to know others in your church. Even talking casually to someone sitting next to you can make you feel at home — and may encourage them also. Take the initiative to reach out to others in this church and get acquainted with them. Introduce yourself to the pastor, and seek opportunities to volunteer or join a Bible study. The Bible says, “May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else” (1 Thessalonians 3:12). Elsewhere in your letter you mention that you never went to church as a child. But God loves you, and he has put within you a desire to know him. Thank him for this, and begin your spiritual journey by asking Jesus Christ to come into your life. Then seek to grow spiritually through your fellowship with other believers. Chances are by now you’ve seen “Real Beauty Sketches,” a video released a few weeks ago by the Dove soap people. It documents a social experiment: Women describe themselves to a forensic sketch artist, who draws them from behind a curtain. Then the artist draws the same women based on descriptions from people who’ve only just met them. The accounts don’t exactly line up. “My mom told me I had a big jaw” turns into “she was thin, so you could see her cheekbones.” “I kind of have a fat, rounder face” turns into “she had nice eyes.” Saturated in soft, silvery light and accompanied by a moody, minimalist score (think “Friday Night Lights” when the team loses), the subjects are shown the sketches side by side and, eyes misting up, admit to the artist that their self-appraisals were hindered by poor self-esteem. “I should be more grateful for my natural beauty,” a woman named Florence says earnestly, adding that beauty “impacts everything (and) couldn’t be more critical to your happiness.” The screen fades to white, and this message appears: “You are more beautiful than you think.” Although a lot of people claim to have been genuinely moved by the project, some of the professional commentariat have been less generous. They’ve deemed the women too young, thin and light-skinned to represent the “real.” It’s also been pointed out that labeling big jaws and round faces as undesirable is insulting to people who have those features. Then, of course, there’s the dark irony that the folks behind all this self-love also have a profit-making interest in encouraging a certain amount of self-loathing. Remember Dove’s original “Real Beauty” campaign? The one with ads featuring average- and larger-sized nonprofessional models posing in their underwear? The one that purported to subvert standard notions of beauty by showcasing bodies of all shapes and sizes? Dove was flogging cellulite cream. Back in 2005, I called those ads not only hypocritical — by claiming to celebrate ordinary bodies while selling products meant to improve them — but also discomfiting. For a lot of women, seeing “regular” female bodies on a billboard felt a little too much like seeing themselves in public in their underwear. And because those bodies were objectified as much as any other mostly naked female body on a billboard, it had the whiff of a personal violation — or at least selfconsciousness — you just The problem with being told you’re more beautiful than you think is that you’re still being told that beauty matters a lot. And though there is a sad truth to that, it belies the politically correct pretenses of the experiment. don’t get when you’re looking at a professional model. “Sketches” isn’t that squirm-inducing. The wo m e n a re n’ t s p l aye d across the side of a bus in their skivvies. They’re fully dressed and speaking in their own words. Still, I found the video discomfiting. I couldn’t stop thinking about how the kinder, gentler sketches were based on cues from women being asked to describe another woman’s looks, someone they might meet again in the process of making the ad. Wouldn’t you put the most positive possible spin on things? The subject could look like Ursula the Sea Witch from “The Little Mermaid,” and the operative phrases would still be “smooth purple skin” and “shapely tentacles.” And that is because there is no greater taboo than criticizing a woman’s appearance to her face. There is one acceptable answer to “Do you like my new haircut?” or “Does this make me look fat?” — and its relationship to the truth is irrelevant. Conveniently, all of the “Sketches” women easily meet culturally sanctioned standards of attractiveness. None of the video participants was forced to thumb through a thesaurus looking for a nice way of saying “has three heads.” And, to Dove’s credit, this “Real Beauty” campaign has started some useful conversations about mediated womanhood and the real thing. But the problem with being told you’re more beautiful than you think is that you’re still being told that beauty matters a lot. And though there is a sad truth to that, it belies the politically correct pretenses of the experiment. “I have some work to do on myself,” Florence wistfully tells the sketch artist, referring to the labor of selfesteem-building. It’s a poignant moment. Still, what would have been downright radical is if she’d simply looked at her watch and said, “Gee, I need to get back to work.” Puzzle answers MYSTYLE Sophia Simpkins Age: 41 Occupation: Next Level Performance, vice president of business development “Fashion, to me, is an expression of who you are or how you feel.

Of course, the thrill may be gone, but cameras are still in the picture. So expect drama, dysfunction, fits and fights.

LATE NIGHT With NBA Center Jason Collins coming out this week, we finally have the much-anticipated first openly gay male athlete in a major American team sport. The last wall of the old city of secrecy that has surrounded gay public figures for centuries is about to crumble away — or is it? Despite the obvious differences between show business and professional sports, the long and rocky road that’s been traveled by gay performers who have chosen to come out is a reminder that there has been nothing instant or easy about this change. “It is almost hard to believe now how different the scenario was for gay celebrities when being openly gay in Hollywood meant career suicide. Today, stories of the outrageous lengths to which actors went to remain closeted, of false front marriages of convenience — ala Rock Hudson’s union with Phyllis Gates, his agent’s (and longtime lover’s) secretary — are relics of a bygone era.

Ellen DeGeneres, of course, is the face that comes most quickly to mind of those who’ve risked their professional lives to live honestly. As you may recall, she received bomb threats for her bold decision to reveal her sexuality on her sitcom “Ellen” in 1997 — and a year later her show was cancelled. “It destroyed me,” said DeGeneres, looking back. She noted that after years of trying to make audiences happy and wanting desperately to be loved — “that’s why anybody gets into this business” — it was stunning to find herself hated. c.

Jackson 'TVMA' The Crow ('94,Action) Brandon Lee 'TVM' Movie Bigfoot • Continued from Page D1 Tribes all over North America have legends of tall, hairy men of the forest. The Cherokee spoke of the white-furred Tsul ‘Kalu. The Cheyenne passed down tales of the bird-footed Maxemista. The Salish people of the Pacific Northwest knew of wild men, or Sesquac, whose name is the source of Bigfoot’s most common American alias: Sasquatch. In 1811, David Thompson, a fur trader and surveyor, wrote about discovering a massive, four-toed track in the snow in Alberta, Canada. The track was 8 inches wide and 14 inches long — about a men’s size 20. Thompson believed it to be that of a large bear, but some Bigfoot supporters cite Thompson as the first European to encounter evidence of the creature. LOCAL LEGEND Thousands have followed in Thompson’s figurative footsteps. In addition to hosting field expeditions, the BFRO maintains a database of what it describes as credible Bigfoot sightings. Since its foundation in 1995, the organization has posted reports of encounters in every state but Hawaii. About 4,300 incidents are listed, including about two dozen in the Chattanooga area, some dated from 1974. The most recent was from September 2011, when two motorists say they saw a tall creature crossing a road near Sale Creek on a rainy night. Local independent Bigfoot researcher JP Pruett, 66, says she had a similar sighting last fall while driving home on a rural road from an amateur photo shoot in Blue Ridge, Ga. She says she noticed an extremely tall, man-like shape that appeared to be holding something while keeping pace with the car, which was traveling about 35 mph. After half a mile, it turned off the road and disappeared into the woods. Pruett says she first became interested in Bigfoot long before seeing it firsthand. More than 40 years ago, while living in eastern Oklahoma, she began hearing tales of encounters between humans and peaceful creatures she refers to as “the forest people.” Despite some depictions of Bigfoot as primitive, Pruett says those stories, and her own experiences, have led her to believe that the creatures are not only real but more intelligent than many assume. “People need to open their eyes and see that we’re not alone here,” she says. “These Sasquatches ... are almost as human as we are.” In June 2005, Roane County resident Matt Seeger’s son told his father he was working outside late at night when he saw a large, fur-covered creature watching him from about 30 feet away. He approached it, but Seeger’s son says it turned to run into the forest, crossing a 45-foot stretch of road in four enormous strides.

I told her that if she didn’t stop, I was going to make her get out of the tub. My girls love water, whether it’s in a pool, river, ocean or bathtub. Making her get out of the tub was like corporal punishment. Still, Evie continued bothering Tilleigh, so I lifted her out of the tub, wrapped her in a towel, and said, “You didn’t mind.” She squirmed and cried the entire time I dressed her. I didn’t lose my temper. In fact, I had to suppress a laugh because she is so strongwilled. Kind of like me.

She was livid. But she’s 3, and crying is how a 3-year-old deals with frustration. I get it. I wouldn’t mind crying and calling somebody “meany” every now and then. I simply waited it out. After the crying stopped, the snuggling started. That’s one of the most beautiful things about children: They are forgiving and loving. And, chances are, she learned a lesson. Or not.
