County Commissioners put the brakes on the proposed $30 wheel tax Monday night by a vote of 11-2. Commissioner Robert Rominger, who made Inside Today the original proposal, and Commissioner Johnny Mull were the two members who cast votes in the affirmative. Commissioner Charlotte Peak was absent due to a family matter. The shadow of a decisive 3-1 defeat at the polls of a similar measure in 2012 seemed present throughout the 30-minute portion of the meeting. “This generates 2 1/2 times the money needed for the school bond,” said Commissioner Dan Rawls. “I don’t think we should be doing that in the guise of doing that for education.” He referred to statistics which had been preBanner photo, BRIAN GRAVES viously referenced showing 60 of the state’s COmmISSIONER mILAN BLAkE displays a document showing counties have a wheel tax. how the county has used monies from Wacker to fund an industrial “Forty-three states have an income tax.

Judy and Larry Potter officially becoming "river rats." One of Cleveland and Bradley County’s most influential community leaders has died. J. Hoyle Rymer, 70, a corporate executive and philanthropist, lost his two-decade battle with cancer Monday at his Florida residence. His wife and sons were at his side. He was president of Magic Chef Inc. from 1978 to 1988, and served as president and director of Cleveland Associated Industries from 1976 to 1992. Rymer served on several other board and organizations, and was chairman of the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association and Tennessee Economic Development Plan Task Force. His community involvement included the Museum Center at Five Points, Fletcher Park, United Way of Bradley County, and the region’s participation in the 1996 Olympics on the Ocoee River and elsewhere. He was recognized as Rymer the recipient of United Way’s William F. Johnson Leadership Award in 1988. Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland commented on Rymer. “Although residing in Florida, Hoyle never forgot Cleveland. Personally I have lost a friend and Cleveland has lost a tremendous cheerleader,” the mayor said this morning. “I worked with Hoyle in establishing the shelter on Wildwood Avenue,” Rowland continued. “Without him, the shelter would never have gotten its start financially. “The Museum Center at Five Points was another favorite institute of Hoyle,” Rowland said. “After moving to Florida he never forgot his friends and the institutions he loved in Cleveland. The last time I was with him was a visit with U.S. Sen. Bob Corker." A passion was hunting and fishing, and he had a partnership in the Royal Wolf Lodge in Alaska’s Katmai National Park Banner Staff Writer Banner photo, BRIAN GRAVES STATE ECD COmmISSIONER Randy Boyd gets a wave from a Hardwick Clothes employee who is taking special training offered by the company.

UTK students present vision for Woolen Mill By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer It stands downtown as a landmark of Cleveland’s heritage in the textile industry. Unknown to some and seen as a major undertaking by others, the Old Woolen Mill was recently chosen as the backdrop for dreams of what the future could hold for downtown. University of Tennessee architecture students with the Smart Communities Initiative presented visions for the site during a presentation to community leaders Monday. The presentations were given in a part of the complex built in 1890. The Cleveland City Schools system is planning to open a new school in August. The Board of Education approved a plan for the school system to submit forms to the Tennessee Department of Education by June 1, to make the Teen Learning Center a standalone school. The plan to move TLC out from under the Cleveland High School umbrella was approved unanimously by the board. There are several steps to the plan, but the first is the Ringstaff submission of registration forms to TDOE. The plan was compiled by former Bradley County Director of Schools Johnny McDaniel, who spent many hours interviewing administrators and teachers at Cleveland High, Cleveland Middle and TLC. McDaniel, who received a stipend of $3,000 for the work, was highly praised for his overall report and tentative plan. “He spent hour and hours on this, and talked with the people See TLC, Page 10 See RYMER, Page 10 See WOOLEN MILL, Page 10 6 89076 75112 4 By LARRY C.

Budget proposal to shift spending By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer Bradley County Schools 201516 budget proposal will shift funds from capital projects to salaries and benefits to balance the budget. Scott Humberd, interim director of schools, listed his top three priorities as funding extended contracts, continuing the math coordinator position and adding another JROTC instructor at Bradley Central High School. The budget sets out to meet these priorities costing $170,646 by moving $150,000 from capital outlay and receiving $30,000 from the U.S. Army for the JROTC program at Bradley Central High School. There would be $1.06 million left in the budget for capital projects and building improvements. Some board members had concerns about the funds being moved out of the capital outlay budget. Moving the money from the capital projects would mean $75,000 less for building improvements and $75,000 less for other capital outlay.

He was an expert hunter and fisherman, a passion that led to his foundational partnership in Royal Wolf Lodge, a five-star remote fly-fishing lodge in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve. Educated at the McCallie School (and later a member of its board of trustees), he was a graduate of Davidson College and received his master of business administration from Emory University. Always emphasizing the value of education, he and his late father began the Robert and Hoyle Rymer Foundation to provide nursing scholarships at Cleveland State Community College and Chattanooga State College. With the support and inspiration of Dr. Paul Conn, the foundation partnered with Lee University in 1990 to establish the Rymer Scholar Program.

The program has grown from two annual recipients to nine, awarding more than 200 scholarships in the last 24 years. A lifelong Episcopalian, he was a parishioner at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland before joining St. Barnabas Episcopal Church on the family’s move to DeLand. Once there, he made the church and its school the centerpiece of his philanthropy.

If there are other issues that need to be addressed I can’t address them,” Rose said. “In my opinion, there are issues.” Lee said she felt the administration should take care of the issue. Board Chairman Nicholas Lillios asked what the issue was. “The problem is while the students are in the middle school they need to be worried about the By JOYANNA LOVE Banner Senior Staff Writer A proposed policy considered by the Bradley County Board of Education tonight would change who principals can choose to coach their school’s sports teams. At a work session Monday, school board member Charlie Rose placed a policy addition on tonight’s agenda that would prohibit employees, contractors or volunteers at any Bradley County school from coaching at another school. “The focus of all Bradley County Schools employees should be to develop every child to his or her highest academic, physical and spiritual potential. Healthy competition in the form of interscholastic athletics is very beneficial for children in reaching their full potential, as long as the well-being of the individual student is the focus,” Rose said. He said having employees from one school coaching at another has led to the focus moving from the student to creating a sense of middle school,” Lee said. “They don’t need to worry about if they are going to leave Ocoee Middle School and go to Bradley High School or leave Ocoee Middle School and go to Walker Valley.” She said every child needs to be “afforded the same opportunities, no matter where they are going … don’t make a child feel like they have to be dishonest about where they are going to high school.” Board member Chris Turner said he had also heard of issues. “My phone and my email has been blistered over issues, so there are obvious problems. … The people that I have talked with have kids that have quit athletics because they were ostracized. They were cut or they did not get the opportunity to play to their potential,” Turner said. “This is my suggestion: Find an … opportunity where you can get your coaches together and focus on nutrition, weightlifting, strength building, character building — [in order] to show some cohesion in Bradley County schools. That does a lot to change the perception that you will be punished if you pick one high school over another.” Ocoee Middle School Principal Ron Spangler said he would like a committee to be formed to study whether the issue is one of personnel or one of policy. Middle schools are required to follow TSSAA guidelines for who they allow to play on their sports teams. “We are in a very awkward position in middle school. Our number one priority is to hire quality teachers for our program and if we get a coach … then we are fortunate,” Spangler said. “I would love to have my staff coaching my kids.” When this combination is not available, Spangler looks to other Bradley County employees as potential coaches. Spangler said if either of these options is not available he would look for a volunteer coach who is not a parent of one of the students. “Do we have some pressure on our students? Yes we do. I don’t think removing a coach … is going to solve the pressure on our kids. Our athletic arena puts enough pressure on our kids without saying a coach does or does not put the pressure on,” Spangler said. “There is pressure from the coaches because if they are a good athlete I am going to want them to play for me.” He said he was not aware of an issue he had not addressed. Rose said his goal was not to hurt the athletic program. “But still I would not like to think that our children were not treated (right) and feel uncomfortable at the school,” Rose said. “I hate that it got to this point, brought up in a board meeting.” The school board will meet for a voting session at 5:30 tonight. ©2014 Coaching policy change considered by school board JEWELERS 1721 KEITH STREET • STUART PARK PLAZA( (Next to The Town Squire) 478-0049 • 478-0050 LAY-AWAYS WELCOME Several vehicles were broken into at local hotel By TONY EUBANK Banner Staff Writer John Stillwell/Pool via AP The newborn bAby princess, born to parents Kate Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, is carried in a car seat by her father from The Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, in London, Saturday. Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to their second child, a baby girl on Saturday morning. Her name has been announced as Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Britain's new princess named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana LONDON (AP) — It's a name that immediately evokes British royal history: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, on Monday announced the name they picked for Britain's newborn princess, a choice seen as a tribute to both Prince William's parents and grandmother, the queen, as well as a link to Kate's family. The princess, the second child of William and Kate, will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, royal officials said. The birth of Princess Charlotte marks a new chapter for William and Kate, widely seen as the monarchy's most modern, popular couple. But the names they chose are firmly rooted in royal family history. Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, appears to be a nod to the newborn's grandfather, Prince Charles. The baby's middle names honor Queen Elizabeth II, the infant's 89-yearold great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William's mother and the baby's grandmother. Charlotte also features in Kate's family, as the middle name of her sister, Pippa Middleton. The newborn princess is fourth in line to the throne after Charles, William and her older brother, 21month-old Prince George. William and Kate introduced the baby princess to the world CHURCH ACTIVITIES Jessie Conner will sing at Family Chapel, 241 Eisenhower St., Wednesday at 7 p.m. Saturday evening, just 12 hours after Kate checked into St. Mary's Hospital in London to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms). Her name was warmly welcomed Monday by royal fans. Some were particularly pleased about the tribute to Diana, still remembered fondly by many. Diana, who died in 1997 at age 36, gave birth to William and Harry at the same London hospital where Charlotte was born. “I so much wanted the name Diana to be in there somewhere,” said Munever Halil, 52. “I wanted it to be Elizabeth Diana, so I think it's lovely.” Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, also approved of the choice. “Perfect names. My 2-year-old Charlotte Diana will be thrilled at cousinly name-sharing,” he tweeted. Earlier Monday, Westminster Abbey's bells pealed and gun salutes were fired across London in honor of the newborn princess. In a display of traditional pageantry, dozens of deafening volleys were fired from Hyde Park and the Tower of London to mark the occasion. The royal couple had kept the world guessing about the baby's name until after both sets of grandparents got a chance to visit Kensington Palace on Sunday to meet their granddaughter. Bookmakers face a large payout — Charlotte had been a frontrunner, alongside other guesses. “Charlotte was the hot tip over the weekend,” said Ladbrokes spokeswoman Jessica Bridge, who estimated that the industry may lose 1 million pounds ($1.51 million) over the name. “We may have lost a fortune, but we're paying out with a smile and wish the duke and duchess all the best.” Cleveland police recently investigated car burglaries that resulted in nearly $10,000 worth of damage and stolen property. CPD responded to calls from the Comfort Inn on Interstate Drive, and upon arriving found at least three different vehicles had been broken into. Passenger-side windows were smashed on two of the vehicles. Stolen items included a handgun, laptop, tablet, GPS device, and a high-end camera. All of the victims were from out of town. An investigation is ongoing, but according to CPD detectives, there was no camera footage available. n A Cleveland man was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in his hotel room. The man, who was staying at the Whitewater Lodge near Highway 64, told CPD officers he was taking a shower and when he emerged, two men in ski masks entered his room. The victim described the men as being black, but added he could only see their eyes and mouths through the masks. The complainant related to officers that the men threw him against the wall and snatched his designer watch from his wrist, before asking him what else he had. The complainant stated he gave the men his wallet with $300 in it. They took the cash, but left the wallet. The victim could not offer more details, but someone staying in a neighboring room told police tthey saw the men leave in a silver car of an unknown make and model. n Bradley County Sheriff’s Deputy Steve McCullough came across two people on the corner of Freewill Road and 22nd Street. Jackie Flowers, 45, and Steven Swaggerty, 36, both of Cleveland, where reportedly pushing a white Kawasaki motorcycle from out of the woods and up to the rear of a yellow truck. The pair claimed they were picking the bike up for a friend, a “Jeff Johnson,” but when the officer checked the registration he found a different name. The registration said the bike was blue, but the color appeared to have been altered with paint, reports said. When BCSO detectives spoke with the owner of the bike at his residence, he told them his bike had broken down, so he hid it in the woods until he could pick it up later, but that he did not give anyone permission to fetch the bike for him. Dispatch informed Deputy McCullough that Flowers had a warrant for theft over $1,000. Flowers was arrested on the warrant and for the theft of the bike along with Swaggerty. They were both charged with theft over $1,000. n CPD Officer Chris Allen responded to a reported fight on Aurora Avenue. When he arrived he found the female victim lying on the ground, having a seizure. When she regained consciousness, she related to Allen that she was outside when she was approached by Crystal Scott, 35, of Cleveland, who began striking her with a belt. The victim stated she could not remember what happened next, because she started having a seizure. Allen located Scott, who reportedly admitted to the assault. Scott told the officer she did walk up to the victim and begin striking her with a belt and when the victim fell to the ground she kept beating her. Scott then related to the officer that she had also grabbed the woman by her clothes and dragged her down the street while continuing to beat her. Scott was arrested for aggravated assault and the victim was taken to the hospital via ambulance. INTRODUCING AMAZING HELP FOR DENTURE WEARERS At DR. J.

Media report the Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna 182 crashed Sunday afternoon on a farm in in Lincoln County near the community of Mulberry, but it wasn't discovered until Monday morning when a farmhand found the wreckage and called authorities. The pilot, 46-year-old Linda Bauman of Belvidere, died at the scene. Officials say she was reported missing Sunday night. Lincoln County Sheriff Murray Blackwelder said the wreckage was scattered over a large area, AP photo including in a pond, which was President BArAck OBAmA gestures as he speaks at Lehman College in the Bronx borough of drained.

Obama launches foundation to help minority young men NEW YORK (AP) — Acting in the aftermath of Baltimore’s unrest, President Barack Obama helped launch a foundation Monday to take up his campaign to help minority young men by improving education, training and job placement in poor communities across the country. Speaking at Lehman College in the Bronx with young men who credited their mentors for overcoming obstacles, Obama praised their success in the face of barriers. “The future will be in good hands as long as we are giving them the love and the support that they need,” Obama said. The new organization, My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, is an outgrowth of Obama’s year-old My Brother’s Keeper initiative, which has focused on federal government policies and grants designed to increase access to education and jobs. While the effort predates the tensions in Baltimore that erupted after the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, the significance of the new private-sector alliance has been magnified by the spotlight riots in the city placed on low-income neighborhoods. Over the past year, Obama has been called on to respond to what he last week referred to as the “slow-rolling crisis” of police relations with minority communities. The friction has been highlighted by Gray’s death last month and Michael Brown’s death last summer in Ferguson, Missouri. Gray died after sustaining a spinal cord injury while in the custody of Baltimore police. Six police officers were charged last week in connection with his death. With its high-profile names and ambitious focus, the alliance is a possible building block for Obama’s post-presidential pursuits. With less than two years left in Obama’s presidency, the new institution would likely sustain its work well after he leaves the White House. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the new alliance wouldn’t necessarily be the vehicle for what Obama chooses to do. Earnest said decisions about who could give to the group and the reporting of donations would be made by the board of directors. He was responding to a question about whether the group’s financing might spark some of the same controversies surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton’s family foundation. “The White House will not be involved in determining what their fundraising policies should be,” Earnest said. He said that the board would be “well aware of the priorities the president has placed on transparency.” Earnest said the group would follow a familiar model of businesses supporting some of the president’s other priorities, noting as an example Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative to fight childhood obesity. The new alliance will be led by Joe Echevarria, the former chief executive of Deloitte, the giant accounting and consulting firm. The alliance already has obtained financial and in-kind commitments of more than $80 million from such companies as American Express, Deloittte, Discovery Networks, Fox News parent company News Corp., BET, Sprint and PepsiCo, the DAILY NASDAQ Nasdaq composite 5,120 Close: 5,016.93 Change: 11.54 (0.2%) 5,020 10 DAYS Council submits 3 nominees for 1st Judicial District vacancy JOHNSON CITY (AP) — Officials say the Governor's Council for Judicial Appointments has conducted interviews of candidates for the impending circuit court vacancy in the 1st Judicial District.

According to court records, Larry Williams ticketed the stepson of then-Chief Jerry Sumerour for speeding and reckless driving in March 2008. The chief later ordered Williams to change the citations to warnings. Williams complained to the mayor and was fired several days later. Chief Sumerour said Williams was fired for going outside the chain of command with his complaint. A trial court judge initially agreed and ruled in favor of the city. But an appeals court overturned that ruling and on Monday the state Supreme Court concurred. The court found that Williams' firing was retaliatory and the chief's insubordination charge was a mere pretext. Man sentenced to 22 years in 1997 killing of his wife CHATTANOOGA (AP) — A 16year-old cold case in Chattanooga is closed and a man will serve 22 years in prison after being convicted of murdering his wife in 1997. Multiple news sources report Adolphus Hollingsworth was sentenced by a Hamilton County judge Monday in the death of Vicky Carr Hollingsworth. Adolphus Hollingsworth was found guilty of second-degree murder in January. Prosecutors said in Hollingsworth's trial in January he stabbed his wife in the neck as she took him to work. Her body was found in East Chattanooga in 1999, wrapped in plastic and buried under tires. The case was reopened in 2013 with the help of the television show “Cold Justice.” The show paid for additional DNA testing and a match was found for Vicki Carr Hollingsworth's blood. Police then arrested Adolphus Hollingsworth.

THP Col. Tracy Trott says there will be more patrols and specialized traffic safety enforcement beginning at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and concluding at midnight Wednesday. THP personnel will hold sobriety and seat belt checkpoints and conduct statewide saturation patrols throughout the 48-hour holiday period. As of May 1, officials say 266 motorists have been killed on Tennessee roadways this calendar year. That is six fewer traffic fatalities than this same time last year. A list of all scheduled THP checkpoints can be found online at http://tn.gov/safety /thp/checkpoints.shtml. Tennessee lawmakers reimburse state for trips NASHVILLE (AP) — Two lawmakers have reimbursed the state for trips they took to legislative conferences. WTVF-TV reported that Murfreesboro Sen. Bill Ketron and Knoxville Rep. Ryan Haynes repaid the money after finding out that the trips were charged to both taxpayers and their campaigns. The station reports Ketron reimbursed the state $17,553 for six trips in the last six years and Haynes reimbursed the state $4,775 for three trips in the last four years. Ketron and Haynes both told the station that they were unaware that the trips had been doublebilled and wrote a check to cover the expenses as soon as they found out about it. “I was horrified when I received your email,” Ketron told WTVF. “My legislative assistant was filling out the form for reimbursement from the state and my treasurer was just making the payments coming from my credit card statement,” he said, and they weren't communicating with each other. He said it was an oversight and he should have been “more diligent” in keeping tabs on how the expenses were paid. Haynes had similar reaction to finding out that his trips were paid for out of two accounts. “The instant I found about it in early March I went to the state and said 'Hey, I've got to pay this back, This was an error,'” he said.

The Kingsport Times News reports 33-year-old Travis Lynn Stidham was arrested Sunday and sent to Hawkins County Jail. Stidham was asked to watch his cousin's residence Friday and feed the dogs while his cousin and cousin's wife went out of town. Police say the couple returned Sunday afternoon with their car and $150 missing. A Hawkins County Sheriff's deputy says Stidham crashed the car into a light pole Sunday morning and was charged with driving on a suspended license and theft over $1,000.

Now that Gray is buried, six officers are charged in his death and an uneasy calm has returned to the streets, critics are wondering whether city leaders are capable of implementing the change the city needs without the direct, intensive oversight that comes with a fullfledged civil rights investigation resulting in a federal consent decree. Democratic Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has already pushed back against this possibility, saying it would deprive Baltimore’s leaders from having a say in fighting crime in one of the nation’s most violent major cities, with more than 200 homicides a year. “Nobody wants the Department of Justice to come and take over our city,” she said last week. Baltimore’s leaders should welcome federal oversight, because it’s doubtful any police department can fix itself from within, said Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California-Irvine School of Law. Consent decrees have been mostly effective since Congress responded to the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles by granting the Justice Department the power in 1994 to sue police departments for civil rights violations. Los Angeles went through it, and proved that it works, said Chemerinsky, who has studied reform efforts there. “I think that there is less likelihood of excessive force today, less racist policing today in Los Angeles, than prior to the consent decree,” he said. The Justice Department has negotiated settlements with 21 other police departments since then; Seattle and New Orleans are currently under consent decrees, and Cleveland’s police department is negotiating one. Justice officials are also nego- tiating with the department in Ferguson, Missouri, where an officer’s shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown sparked a national debate about use of force by police against blacks. The federal civil rights investigation in Ferguson found patterns of racial bias and discriminatory law enforcement tactics. A consent decree is a form of negotiated settlement with the Justice Department that averts a civil-rights lawsuit. Police departments agree to implement a series of reforms under the watch of an independent monitor. The Justice Department already announced a separate federal probe of Gray’s death. And a broad civil rights investi- gation would not begin unless federal authorities conclude the ongoing voluntary review is insufficient. Federal consent decrees also create new challenges. It can take more than a decade for police departments to satisfy their requirements, and meanwhile, expenses add up: It can cost tens of millions of dollars to retrain officers, hire new ones and modify use-of-force policies. “Cities don’t want to invest their scarce resources in the costly process of reforming a police department,” said Stephen Rushin, a visiting assistant professor of law at the University of Illinois who is working on a book about police reform. “Typically, it takes away Supreme Court will hear energy regulation appeal AP Photo/Jim Cole, File In thIs JAn. 20 FIle photo, a plume of steam billows from the coal-fired Merrimack Station in Bow, N.H. The Obama Administration’s hotly debated plan to cut the amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide coming out of the nation’s power plants will save about 3,500 lives a year from also reducing other types of pollutions, a new independent study concludes. Study: Cutting carbon dioxide saves 3,500 U.S. lives a year WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama Administration's hotly debated plan to reduce heattrapping carbon dioxide from the nation's power plants will save about 3,500 lives a year by cutting back on other types of pollution as well, a new independent study concludes. A study from Harvard and Syracuse University calculates the decline in heart attacks and lung disease when soot and smog are reduced ΓÇö an anticipated byproduct of the president's proposed power plant rule, which aims to fight global warming by limiting carbon dioxide emissions. Past studies have found that between 20,000 and 30,000 Americans die each year because of health problems from power plant air pollution, study authors and outside experts say. The study was published Monday in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Climate Change. The proposed EPA rule, which is not yet finalized, is complex and tailored to different states. It aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. Study authors said their research, while not hewing to the Obama plan exactly, is quite close and comparable. The study also finds about the same number of deaths prevented by reducing soot and smog that the administration claimed when the plan was rolled out more than a year ago. Some in Congress have been trying to block the regulation from going into effect, calling the plan a job-killer and an example of government overreach. The study finds that the rule would eliminate an average of 3,500 deaths a year ΓÇö a range of lives saved from 780 to 6,100 ΓÇö with more than 1,000 of the lives saved in just four states that get lots of pollution from coal power plants: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas and Illinois. The new regulation would reduce hospi- talizations by 1,000 a year and heart attacks by 220 a year, the study says. Cleaning the air as part of reducing carbon dioxide has immediate and noticeable benefits, the authors said. “There could be lives saved associated with the way we implement the policy,” said study lead author Charles Driscoll, an environmental engineering professor at Syracuse. “Why not kill two birds with one stone if you can?” Lab studies on animals show how soot and smog harm the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and epidemiological studies link tens of thousands of deaths each year to soot and smog pollution, said study coauthor Joel Schwartz, a Harvard environmental epidemiologist. The study's authors examined 2,417 power plants and used computer models to project and track their emissions. The study was praised by outside academics, the Environmental Protection Agency and environmental advocacy groups. But officials in the energy industry called it costly and flawed. “This is more than just an academic exercise to the tens of millions of Americans who depend on affordable, reliable electricity to power their homes and places of work every day,” said Laura Sheehan, senior vice president for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. “For them, this is about their livelihoods. Coal provides nearly 40 percent of the nation's electricity and its use is becoming cleaner all the time. And while these academics are hypothesizing about unprovable consequences, what's known is that families are struggling to pay their monthly bills and companies are struggling to stay in business — and any increase in energy costs will unnecessarily burden them.” EPA, in a statement, said the study confirms their earlier Police: New Jersey man adds gasoline, lighter fluid to cake MAYWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Police say a northern New Jersey man added more than eggs and flour to a birthday cake and nearly set his house on fire. Maywood Police Chief David Pegg tells the Record newspaper that police and firefighters responded to a house fire Sunday and were met by an angry man who demanded they leave. Pegg says the man was trying to make the cake burst into flames with the added ingredients of lighter fluid and gasoline. research, which shows that for every dollar spent complying with the regulation, “Americans will see up to $7 in health benefits.” Three top science officials in the George W. Bush Administration who are now outside academics ΓÇö George Gray at George Washington University, John D. Graham at Indiana University and Howard Frumkin at the University of Washington ΓÇö praised the study to various degrees. “This analysis is both sound and useful,” Gray, former EPA science chief and now director of risk science and public health, wrote in an email. “The cool thing is the question they ask: What public health effects might occur due to changes in air pollutants as we act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?” ___ Online: Nature Climate Change: http://www.nature.com/nclimate WASHINGTON (AP) —The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a dispute over a regulation that offers financial incentives to factories, retailers and other large electricity users to reduce their power consumption. The justices agreed to review a lower court ruling that struck down a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rule that requires utilities to pay energy consumers for lowering electricity use during times of peak demand. The approach, known as demand response, has won praise from environmental advocacy groups that call it an effective tool for saving energy, lowering the cost of electricity and reducing air pollution. But utilities have opposed the regulation on grounds that it is too generous. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 last year that the rule encroaches on state authority to regulate the retail power market. The appeals court said the rule covers the retail market because it involves retail customers and their decision whether to purchase at retail. The Obama administration argues that the rule targets the wholesale market. The government says the effect of the rule on wholesale rates is more immediate and direct than any effect on retail consumption. FERC regulates the wholesale energy market, while states regulate the retail market. FERC Chairman Norman Bay said in a statement he was pleased the Supreme Court will consider the case. “The integration of demand response is important to the nation's competitive wholesale electricity markets and reliable electric service,” Bay said. The regulation itself remains in effect while the Supreme Court decides whether it's valid. Michael Panfil, an attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund, called the demand response rule “a win-win for people and the environment.” Common Symptoms: JERRY PHILLIPS SMITH Happy Birthday Love Mom, Patty & the Boys • • • • • • • • • • • • • Limited Time Offer Back Pain Headaches Numbness Neck Pain and Two X-rays Arm & Leg Pain If Required Stiffness Most insurance covers your care Hip Pain and we’ll file for you!

Brown’s daughter and grandson also work at the company. Hardwick Hicks From Page 1 From Page 1 sought-after and best-known designers and, while confidential in nature due to the brands high profile status, it will more than double the volume of manufacturing at the 175,000 square-foot Hardwick facility. The company has invested $800,000 in new equipment, ranging from specialized sewing machines to state-of-the-art cutting technology with the goal to increase production capacity and quality, as well as create more and better-paying jobs for the community. “This means not only more jobs, but an overall increase in wages for all factory employees,” Bellusci said. “We told our employees we wanted them to have fun and make money. We’re having fun and now we’re going to make money. You’re going to see a lot of excitement here.” He said employees have been told from projections to expect to make 20 percent more in this calendar year and as much or more next year. Bellusci also noted the addition of a new, full-scale training program which has now been implemented. Since the start of 2015, 40 new jobs have been created, bringing the total number of employees to 260 with an expected 80 more by year’s end. Plans are for another $1.2 million to be invested over the next two years “to catapult growth and rebuild the Hardwick brand.” Hardwick owner Allan Jones said that effort is already underway with updated labeling and product packaging. “We are using a new selection of the finest fabrics from Italy and England, with each garment getting topped off with the best buttons available,” Jones said. A new collection will launch afternoon at the Museum Center at Five Points. He received the award from the recipient of last year’s award, Roger Pickett of MurMaid Mattress. The Chamber says staying power, growth in number of employees, increase in sales or unit volume, innovativeness of product or services offered, response to adversity, and evidence of contribution by the nominee to aid community-oriented projects form the basis for this award. Hicks was visibly moved during the reading of the presentation as he stood in the far rear corner of the room simply as the caterer for the occasion. That changed to tears and a group hug with his family — his wife, Patsy, and children Hannah, Madylin and Will. “He started talking and I thought, ‘I know that guy!’” he said, describing hearing the award read. He admitted to being a “crybaby and not ashamed of it” as he wiped his eyes. “Those of you who are smallbusiness owners and are the owner, worker, runner, you understand what this means to build something,” Hicks said. “It means something.” He said there is every effort made by he and his company “to give back to this community as much as we can.” “We strive to do things a little bit differently with things just on the cusp of the cutting edge and not enough to freak people out — just enough to keep people coming back to see what’s new,” he said. Hicks thanked his family, saying, “Guys, I couldn’t do this without you — the support of my family.” “I couldn’t do this without the support of my family and the grace of my God,” he said. Hicks formed the company in Banner photo, BRIAN GRAVES RANdy Boyd, state commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, talks to Hardwick Clothes CEO/President Bruce Bellusci during his Monday morning visit to Cleveland. this fall with Hardwick having secured more than 100 new accounts over the past few months including local stores such as Yacoubian Tailors, The Squire Shop, Bruce Baird and Johnson’s Men’s Wear. Hardwick will also start a national radio campaign next week and will continue to pursue opportunities with national media outlets such as NBC Sports Group. Jones repeated his belief in the employees of Hardwick are what will put the company back on top. “They are the biggest asset the company has,” Jones said. “They have the experience of being in the business for years and years.” “This is a heavy lift to save this company,” Jones said. “It is so competitive around the word. But the biggest asset that was not on the balance sheet was the skilled staff. We can’t find these sewers anymore. So we believe we can take this staff, with additional training, and by September turn this company around. He also gave credit to Cleveland Utilities for its help and noted TVA has offered incentives for which Hardwick has qualified. Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd was on hand for the announcement Monday, and praised Hardwick’s work. “This is an incredible story,” Boyd said. “Thank you for saving this company and I’m sure it’s going to have a great future.” The commissioner also took a tour of the facility and greeted Hardwick employees while watching them do their jobs. 2001 as basically a one-man operation. “Impressions has grown from being a one-man show to having three full-time employees and five part-time employees. The company has seen substantial growth over the years. From 2009 to 2013 alone, sales volume increased 55 percent,” Pickett said in the presentation. In 2009, Impressions began to focus on brides and their wedding day and has since become a leading wedding caterer in the Cleveland area. In addition to finding new clientele, Hicks also diversified and began purchasing such large items as banquet chairs, linens and tables that he normally would have outsourced to other vendors. By owning this inventory, Hicks and Impressions became a fullservice caterer. “The most significant challenge for the young caterer was learning how to run a business,” Pickett said. “His training and passion lay in the culinary arts. Through the evolution of his business, however, he was pushed beyond creating exceptional food for his clients to enjoy, to learning to become a successful business owner.” Through the years, he has donated time and services to the Relay for Life, The Caring Place, The Community Kitchen at New Life Bible College, YoungLife of Bradley County, The Salvation Army, New Hope Pregnancy Care Center, Chair-ries Jubilee, and Palate to Palette (benefitting the Craniofacial Foundation of America). Hicks has built several sets for the Cleveland High School Renaissance show choir and CHS Drama Department in recent years. He served several years on the Family and Consumer Sciences Board at Cleveland Middle School. He is a member of the advisory board for the new Culinary Arts Department at Cleveland High School. “A devoted family man, Hicks and his family have been members of Candies Creek Baptist Church since 1999. He has served there in the roles of deacon, Sunday school teacher, and Sunday school administrator,” Pickett said. “He currently serves as a committee member for YoungLife, a local nondenominational youth ministry.” The luncheon was keynoted by Tennessee Commissioner of Economic and Community Development Randy Boyd. He said the thing he has learned in business is to listen to the customers — a priority he has given himself in his new position. “Every time a customer tells you what they want and you listen, it turns out to be successful,” Boyd said. He said those who are running businesses “have a far better idea of what they need than those of us in Nashville.” “We are going to be great listeners and get out and hear what you have to say,” Boyd said, adding the state had brought in more than 22,000 job commitments last year. “That’s a new record for our state,” he said. “We won ‘State of the Year’ for the last two years in a row. Tennessee is doing this well.” He said one of the first things he learned was the $50 million budget for his department. “By comparison, New York State spends $100 million just to advertise on television their incentive program,” Boyd said. “When it comes to competing with other states battling for new jobs, it’s going to be hard for us to outspend. We have to be smarter than they are.” He said that can be done by being better partners with business and supporting entrepreneurship. Boyd also said he wants to focus on rural development and education/workforce development. Wheel tax From Page 1 Based on that logic, we should have a state income tax,” Rawls said. Rawls said within the discussion of supporting children is the potential of “saddling them with debt.” “You supposedly improve the educational aspect by building a new building. I’d be interested in discussing with anyone that a building makes for a better education,” he said. Rawls repeated his contention a new Lake Forest School has not been a priority of the school system until the last year and a half. “We’re not kicking a can down the road. We’re making the best decision for the taxpayers,” he said. He said if the proposed wheel tax was $15, “you’d have a better argument.” Commissioner Howard Thompson said if there was a need to buy another piece of property for the school, the cost would escalate. “I know we can’t afford that, and I don’t want to vote for any improvements on the property where the school is now because of the poor ground, but if they move it up the hill it would be acceptable,” Thompson said. “But, not with a wheel tax.” Commissioner Bill Winters noted the tax would bring significant revenue, but suggested it could be used to pay off some of the county’s current debt. “The funds above Lake Forest could go to debt service, but also projects we need to work on that we continue to say ‘no’ to,” Winters said. He mentioned the need for technology upgrades for county services and schools, two ambulances, schools which need two extra classrooms and schools not secured because of multiple buildings. “That’s what these funds could be used for, and we have an opportunity here to not only take care of Lake Forest, but take care of short-term items we would pay for one time,” Winters said. “We can do this with these funds, or other funds we’ll have to look at later.” Winters also took exception to Rawls’ statement about buildings and education. “If you want to have a joyous family, it doesn’t take a beautiful home; but, it takes a home that’s efficient and keeps the roof repaired enough the family can stay in the house,” Winters said. “We need to take care of the school and we need to take care of our responsibilities.” Vice-Chairman Jeff Yarber called it “a tough predicament.” Yarber said he acknowledged the safety needs at Lake Forest. “I don’t agree Lake Forest has eight to 10 years of use left,” Yarber said. “I believe any building has more years of good use if you force it to. The question is do you want to put your children there?” On the issue of the wheel tax, Yarber called it “a pixie dust dream.” “There’s a petition right now waiting to send this wheel tax to a referendum,” Yarber said. “[In 2012] we put every stipulation we could think of. We said it could not be raised without a referendum. We said in 20 years it would come back to revote on it. We said the money had to be designated. We lost by almost 70 percent. The people spoke loud and clear.” Commissioner Milan Blake also referenced Rawls commenting on the amount the tax would generate. “We could pay the bond twice as fast and save interest,” Blake said. “We could issue a 10-year bond and save about $10 million.” He said the issue was “a tough one.” “But, I have settled in my mind there is a need there. The previous Commission did as well, because they put it in the budget,” Blake said. “We’re not kicking the can down the road, it’s just we let some years come and go and we made other obligations. “I do not want to raise taxes of any kind, but I certainly don’t want to turn my back on the kids at Lake Forest,” he said. “My kids don’t go there, but that doesn’t mean a hill of beans to me. There are kids that do go there.” He said many had asked him about monies derived from Wacker. Blake said the previous Commission had voted to spend the first three years of that money toward the Veterans Home and the new industrial park. “They spent the first three years of the Wacker money. That’s a fact,” Blake said. He said the Finance committee has essentially been drained of ideas. “We started with selling property on Minnis Road and other pieces of property. We had the hotel/motel tax. We were disappointed with our Nashville delegation,” Blake said. “The fact is we haven’t kicked the can. It is coming up.” He said the previous Commission told the parents of Lake Forest, “Let’s wait. The higher priorities are the industrial park and the Veterans Home. “Trust me. You won’t find one person up here who wants to cancel the Veterans Home,” Blake said. “When you tell Lake Forest parents to wait until 2017, they’ll say, ‘That’s what they always tell us. We have to wait.’ And, they’re right. “I guarantee that between now and when it gets to the budget process in 2016, we’re going to have people standing right here asking us for funds,” he said. “We need to do something quickly.” Blake agreed with Yarber the wheel tax would not pass referendum muster. “There lies the problem for me. Passing a wheel tax [to hold a referendum] knowing it won’t pass, it’s a waste of time and money,” Blake said. “I’m not interested in wasting one penny knowing it’s going to fail. We’ve got other opportunities we can talk about in the future.” Commissioner Mark Hall, who serves as chairman of the Education committee, said he was well aware of he needs of the school. “But also, as commissioner of the 7th District, I’ve got the largest percentage of senior citizens — many of which are on a fixed income,” Hall said. Hall made a substitute motion the resolution be sent back to Finance to add an exemption for citizens age 65 and older, and that once the school is paid for in full the tax be abolished. The motion was seconded by Yarber. Commissioner Terry Caywood recalled his experience as principal of Prospect School when he said six years passed as he repeatedly asked for “help with an antiquated building.” “You can say it wasn’t a priority before, but it did not change the damage that it did to the conditions the children and the teachers had to work under,” Caywood said. “I have strong feelings about that.” He said he knows of the expense the county has borne at Lake Forest, “because of all kinds of problems.” “If those problems did not exist, to have a school where you have to go to another building to go to the restroom is absolutely ridiculous,” Caywood said. He noted the school’s utility bill was as much as several schools at one time. “When you remedy those problems you not only save money, you get a condition that is an environment that is more conducive to good teaching,” Caywood said. “I know we have to come up with some kind of funding,” he said. “Somewhere, some kind of tax revenue has got to be generated.” Caywood noted all of the townhouses that have been built near Paul Huff Parkway. “I say you get a bigger clientele to help pay the bills with the wheel tax than you do with the property tax,” he said. “That may not convince voters to vote for it, but it spreads it out.” He agreed with Hall’s idea of exempting senior citizens. “I just want the voters to hear that in my last four years as county commissioner, I want to make certain this is corrected. I have to do what I think is right,” Caywood said. Commissioner Thomas Crye said he stood by his statement the children now at Lake Forest “would in all likelihood will be in Bradley Central before we do anything at Lake Forest.” “We’re spinning our wheels and wasting our time on a wheel tax,” Crye said. He noted a referendum would cost $4,000 to $5,000. “There may be only one option we now have — thanks to our two state senators who dropped their support of the hotel/motel tax which wouldn’t have cost the taxpayers anything,” Crye said. “I’ve said my peace.” Blake said the burden needs to be on the Commission to say why there needs to be a tax increase. “Maybe we haven’t done that,” he said. “It’s our burden to educate why there needs to be tax increase for Lake Forest. That’s the number one thing I’ve heard.” Seeing the wheel tax resolution was going to fail, Hall pulled his substitute motion from the table with the resolution being defeated. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Tuesday, May 5, 2015—7 Texas gunman was former target of FBI terror probe WASHINGTON (AP) — The target of a federal terror investigation was one of two suspects in a shooting at a Texas cartoon contest featuring images of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, and the Islamic State group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack. An audio statement on the extremist group’s Al Bayan radio station said “two soldiers of the caliphate” carried out Sunday’s attack in the Dallas suburb of Garland. It did not provide details and it was unclear whether the group was opportunistically claiming the attack as its own. It was the first time that IS, which frequently calls for attacks against the West, had claimed responsibility for one in the United States. The gunmen, whom federal officials identified as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, wounded a security officer before they were shot and killed at the scene. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation by name. The deliberately provocative cartoon contest had been expected to draw outrage from the Muslim community. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous, and drawings similar to those featured at the Texas event have sparked violence around the world. Simpson and Soofi were wearing body armor, and one shot the security officer in the leg. Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said Monday that a single Garland police officer subdued the two gunmen but that after his initial shots, SWAT officers nearby also fired at the two men. Harn said police don’t know who fired the lethal shots. The security officer was treated at a hospital and released. Homeland Security Secretary Tsarnaev cries, wipes eyes as aunt takes stand BOSTON (AP) — For the first time in court, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropped his blank, impassive demeanor and cried as his sobbing aunt briefly took the stand Monday in his federal death penalty trial. Tsarnaev, 21, wiped tears from his eyes quickly and fidgeted in his chair as his mother’s sister sobbed uncontrollably. He Tsarnaev had maintained a disinterested expression since his trial began in January. The aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, cried as she sat down about 10 feet from Tsarnaev. The tears began falling before she began to testify, and she was only able to answer questions about her name, her year of birth and where she was born. After a few minutes, Judge George O’Toole Jr. suggested that the defense call a different witness so she could compose herself. As she left the witness stand, Tsarnaev used a tissue to wipe his eyes and nose. Five relatives — three cousins and two aunts — took the stand, though it was unclear if the aunt who broke down would be allowed to complete her testimony. As Tsarnaev was led out of the courtroom before the lunch recess, he blew a kiss at family members. Tsarnaev was convicted last month of 30 federal charges in the bombings, including 17 that carry the possibility of the death penalty. He moved to the U.S. with his family in 2002 and committed the bombings when he was 19. Prosecutors say Tsarnaev was an equal partner in the bombings with his radicalized older brother, Tamerlan, and have urged the jury to sentence him to death. Tsarnaev’s lawyers say Tamerlan, 26, was the mastermind of the attack and lured his brother into his plan. Tamerlan died days after the bombings following a shootout with police. A cousin testified Monday that Dzhokhar was a kind and warm child, so gentle that he once cried while watching “The Lion King.” “I think that his kindness made everybody around him kind,” Raisat Suleimanova said through a Russian translator. Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb pounced, asking her if she believes a deadly attack on innocent civilians can be considered kind. Tsarnaev’s lawyer objected, and Suleimanova was not allowed to answer the question.

Two men opened fire with assault weapons on police Sunday night who were guarding a provocative contest for Prophet Muhammed cartoons. A police officer returned fire killing both men. Jeh Johnson said in a statement that authorities were investigating the men’s motives and all circumstances surrounding the attack. Simpson, of Phoenix, was arrested in 2010 after a fouryear-long terror investigation. But despite an investigation that involved more than 1,500 hours of recorded conversations, including Simpson’s discussions about fighting nonbelievers for Allah and plans to link up with “brothers” in Somalia, the government prosecuted him on only one minor charge — lying to a federal agent. He faced three years of probation and $600 in fines and court fees. Simpson, described as quiet and devout, had been on the radar of law enforcement because of his social media presence, but authorities did not have an indication he was plotting an attack, said one federal official familiar with the investigation. In a statement released late Monday by Phoenix law firm Osborn Maledon, Simpson’s family said it is “struggling to understand” how the incident happened. “We are sure many people in this country are curious to know if we had any idea of Elton’s plans,” the statement says. “To that we say, without question, we did not.” The statement also says the family is “heartbroken and in a state of deep shock” and sends prayers to everyone affected by this “act of senseless violence.” Simpson had worshipped at the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix for about a decade, but he quit showing up over the past two or three months, the president of the mosque told The Associated Press. A convert to Islam, Simpson first attracted the FBI’s attention in 2006 because of his ties to a former U.S. Navy sailor who had been arrested in Phoenix and was ultimately convicted of terrorismrelated charges, according to court records. In the fall of that year, the FBI asked one of its informants, Dabla Deng, a Sudanese immigrant, to befriend Simpson and ask for advice about Islam. Over the next few years, Deng would tape his conversations with Simpson with a hidden recording device accumulating more than 1,500 hours of conversations, according to court records. “I’m telling you, man, we can make it to the battlefield,” Simpson is recorded saying on May 29, 2009. “It’s time to roll.” In court, prosecutors presented only 17 minutes and 31 seconds during Simpson’s trial, according to court documents.

The situation becomes potentially more lethal with the villains’ purchase of blackmarket weapons. Guest star Matt Jones returns as Special Agent Ned Dorneget. 9 p.m. on (WFLI) iZombie The range of topics covered by a murdered radio talk-show personality makes Liv (Rose McIver) a better-informed individual very quickly in the new episode “Dead Air.” What she suddenly knows worries Clive (Malcolm Goodwin), especially when she uses it in a personal way with him. Ravi’s (Rahul Kohli) new romance could pose problems for Liv. Major (Robert Buckley) gets an assist from Peyton (guest star Aly Michalka). David Anders also stars. 9 p.m. on (WDSI) New Girl The fact that Damon Wayans Jr. is leaving the show’s cast cues the departure of his character Coach in the fourth-season finale, “Clean Break.” The imminent exit elicits interesting reactions from other members of the gang, with Schmidt (Max Greenfield) deciding to do a massive cleanout of his own belongings — and Jess and Nick (Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson) pondering whether there’s still something romantic between them. Lamorne Morris also stars. 9 p.m. on (DISC) Deadliest Catch With Super-Typhoon Nuri closing in, the captains are forced to make some hard choices if they’re going to find a way to save their seasons in the new episode “Super Typhoon Part 1.” While the Northwestern charges boldly into the approaching storm, the Cape Caution retreats to the relative safety of land and the Wizard gets a replacement deckhand delivered while the boat is at sea. 10:01 p.m. on (WTVC) Forever The series’ first-season finale, “The Last Death of Henry Morgan,” finds Jo (Alana De La Garza) caught between Henry (Ioan Gruffudd) and his longtime nemesis Adam (guest star Burn Gorman) — and in the case of this show, we mean a really, really long time. The enemies’ latest showdown is prompted by the disappearance of the dagger that caused Adam’s first death, as well as the demise of Julius Caesar. John Noble (“Sleepy Hollow”) also guest stars.

He asked if a class with low attendance could be cut to fund the new instructor. Supervisor of secondary education Dan Glasscock said there were not any he knew of at this time. He said anytime there is an elective program students have lost interest in, it is eliminated. “This is a great program. It’s growing, but we can’t keep expanding everything. The parents are hounding me about the parking lot at Bradley. That thing is not getting any better and it is going to be a big bill one day,” Turner said. “We have cut capital outlay by huge percentages to balance this budget.” Humberd and newly hired chief finance office Laura Bauer presented the $69.6 million budget proposal to the Bradley County Board of Education during a work session Monday night. “There is a tremendous desire I think on the part of our kids and our parents of Bradley County to take advantage of the extended contracts that we have, programs of remediation, programs of enrichment,” Humberd said. These contracts pay teachers who stay after school to offer specialized instruction and programs. Humberd said these teachers had been told the contracts were for 11 months, yet the pay for the 11th month had a lag of up to a year. Funding the extended contracts accounts for $87,518 in the budget proposal. Originally, Humberd and Bauer thought the math coordinator position was not in the budget. Upon further review the salary was found. “However, there was the desire to put the 11 months on there that is how she was originally hired,” Humberd said of the position. Funding this priority accounts for $12,610 in the budget. This makes the contract 11 months and pays the required Social Security and other requirements. The JROTC position would be partially funded by the U.S. Army. “They (BCHS JROTC) are at the cusp of developing that program up to the next step with increased enrollment,” Humberd said. Bauer said the Army pays about half of the salary for each of the JROTC instructor positions. Funding this priority would cost $70,518, with $30,000 of this coming from the Army. JROTC instructor and Army Lt. Col. Chris Ingle said the program has turned students away because of the limited spots available with two instructors. “The reason we got authorization to receive a third instructor from the Army is because a year and a half ago we had 175 students in one semester,” Ingle said. “So I cut it down to about 150 … which is where I’ve kept it ever since then.” Ingle said the offer stands until June 1. If the new instructor has not been hired by then, the Army will withdraw its offer. “If you know anything about the military, it’s if they authorize you something and you don’t take it, you will never get that opportunity again,” Ingle said. JROTC meets during class time and then has special teams, such as the rifle team, that train and compete after school. “I think this is one of those things it is going to cost a little bit, but the feds are stepping up and helping us, and we need to take the chance,” board member Rodney Dillard said. “Are we going to be a progressive outfit or a regressive outfit?” Member Amanda Lee spoke in favor of funding the additional instructor because the program helps keep students “on the straight and narrow. ” The board also discussed positions it would like to see in the budget. School board member Dianna Calfee said there is an employee at Walker Valley High School who has the responsibilities of an assistant principal, but is only receiving teacher pay. “If you are serving in that capacity, then it is my opinion that you should receive equal pay,” Calfee said. “And the cost for doing that is $13,000.” WVHS Principal Danny Coggin said the person began serving as an assistant principal when the school moved to the academy model. He said he had requested in the past to have the position funded but it had never been approved in the final budget. “If we need to do it for Walker Valley, we need to do it for Bradley,” board member Chris Turner said, pointing out that a similar situation existed at that high school as well. At BCHS, a special education coordinator is serving as an assistant principal and not receiving the salary and benefits of the other assistant principals. “Both schools have been innovative in trying to work within the staffing that they have,” Glasscock said. The proposed budget has $26,630 allocated for teacher salaries, funding 529 positions. The school board will vote on the budget proposal today at its 5:30 p.m. meeting at the Bradley County Schools central office on South Lee Highway. The board is also expected to choose three architectural firms as it gets closer to choosing an architect for the Lake Forest Middle School rebuild. The three architects would then be asked to present additional information before a final selection is made. complete a maintenance plan for painting, carpeting, and reviving the TLC building. Sixth on the list is to pursue options to maximize the use of the upstairs facility. The seventh and most extensive recommendation is for additional staff. The staff needs special education support, but most of all a CTE teacher to teach and coordinate CTE requirements for graduation. Another staff need is to provide a physical education class for all students. The final recommendation is to assign a designated supervisor for CCS alternative education and programs. Ringstaff said that final step has already been taken care of, with the appointment of Debbie Torres to the position in the fall. The report goes on to say the purpose of the process of establishing a stand-alone-school is to provide insight into how to improve services provided to atrisk students in Cleveland City Schools needing alternative education opportunities. The ideas and opinions, he said, are the result of the collaborative voice of the three schools and system-level leaders. McDaniel added, “It is clear that all parties interviewed have a desire to help students be successful. The TLC teachers and staff indicated a clear desire and commitment to helping their students. There is no apparent oppo- sition to creating a stand-aloneschool within any of the groups interviewed.” Board members generally agreed with McDaniel’s observations. Board member Dawn Robinson said, “Their teachers are very passionate about the school. They don’t want to be a dumping ground for behavioral problems.” Dr. Murl Dirksen said there is a perception of what the school is. “It’s something we’ll have to work through,” he said. “We need to be very articulate, and every student is facing a different challenge.” In continuing his praise of the plan, Ringstaff said, “We’re very proud of this process. We feel this will help us greatly, and I think it’s time to make TLC a stand-aloneschool.” Peggy Pesterfield said, “Some kids function better in a small environment,” recognizing that TLC currently has only about 45 students. TLC Principal Barbara Ector said she has been getting calls from interested parents, since stories about TLC have been appearing in the Banner. Ringstaff acknowledged Torres’ position is new, noting “It’s unchartered waters.” In explaining Torres’ duties, Ringstaff said, “We need a plan for each student who comes to TLC. This is an alternative way for some students to get to the finish line (to graduate).” TLC From Page 1 involved at all three schools,” said Cleveland Director of Schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff. “He modeled this for what we need (at TLC), not as a copy of Bradley County’s Goal Academy,” the director continued. McDaniel was instrumental in the creation and operation of Goal Academy while he was the county director. “We’re ready to jump right into this,” Ringstaff added. The plan submitted by McDaniel, and approved by the city board, makes eight recommendations. The first recommendation is to create a “stand-alone-school” for graduating students. He said all groups interviewed agree that such a school for graduating students, over age and behind in credits, would benefit the students, the schools, and the school system. He added that representatives should be included from all three schools to address the concerns of TLC as the plan is developed. A second recommendation is to create a new name for the alternative school as it becomes independent. The third recommendation is to develop additional opportunities for students to pursue “credit recovery” at Cleveland High. A fourth suggestion is to utilize space at TLC to create additional room for students. The fifth recommendation is to and Preserve. Rymer was a graduate of McCallie School in Chattanooga, Davidson College and Emory University. He and his father began the Robert and Hoyle Rymer Foundation to provide nursing scholarships to Cleveland State and Chattanooga State colleges. With assistance from Lee University President Dr. Paul Conn, the foundation partnered with the university in 1990 to establish the Rymer Scholars Program. The program attempts to influence the best and brightest high school students to continue their education in Bradley County. The scholarship program has grown from two recipients to more than 200 over 24 years. Rymer was a parishioner at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, until joining St. Barnabas Episcopal Church after the family’s move to DeLand, Fla. Since then, the Florida church and its school have been the focus of his philanthropy. He also served as the president of the Family Enterprise Center at Stetson University in DeLand. Rymer was a Tennessee Republican Statesman for 25 years. He was awarded a Bronze Star during his service as a U.S. Army lieutenant in Vietnam, and earned a Meritorious Service Award for service at the Pentagon. He also worked for the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare before his career of entrepreneurship and industry. Rymer is survived by his wife, the former Sharon Lynn Spence, who grew up in Sevierville. He has two sons, John Hoyle Rymer and Robert Atchley Rymer. A third son, Charlie Oates Rymer, died in 2004. He is also survived by a sister, Malinder Rymer Grosz, of Ocala, Fla., and brother, Robert Rymer, of Key West. The family will receive visitors from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, at Ralph Buckner Funeral Home. The Rev. Don Lyon, former rector at St. Barnabas and a close family friend, will officiate the funeral at 10 a.m. Friday, at St. Luke’s. Rymer previously stated he wanted his pallbearer to be “the men who carried me throughout my career and my life. I want them to carry me one last time.” Pallbearers include Jerry Ward, Bill Ward, Bill McClure, Roger Hanger, Larry Brand, Nelson Wooldridge, Tiger Jones, Judson Vines and Bob Chaplin. After a private burial in the family plot at Hilcrest Cemetery, friends are invited to a reception from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Friday at the Museum Center at Five Points. Woolen Mill From Page 1 Dr. Ron Coleman purchased the former factory complex in 1999. Students worked with Coleman to gather information about the site and drew on the existing architecture and surrounding area for inspiration. “This group is exciting to have to come and share what could be. Now, they are not old enough and experienced enough to let financial considerations encumber them, so they can let their mind go, and that’s great,” Coleman said. “I’ve really appreciated their input … It’s been so much fun.” He said an overarching theme of the students’ work had been community involvement. This was accomplished through open meeting areas, connection to the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway and artist areas. UT associate professor of architecture Trisha Stoth said the project gave students an opportunity to focus on one particular building, while seeing what others were doing. Keeping buildings connected to each other and the surrounding area was emphasized throughout the designs. Under the students’ designs, the Woolen Mill branch of Mouse Creek would be uncovered and become a highlighted feature. Coleman and the students envisioned a restaurant and possible microbrewery in the former boiler room. “There are three large spaces in this building, so we gave them each a theme: dynamic space, maker space and a support space,” student Matt Ratcliff said. “The dynamic space would be more of the dining, public part of the space and then the maker space would be more where the product is made, the brewery.” The design creates levels within the building to take advantage of the height. Student Hailey Zimmerman said the levels would be made with “light metal” to fit with the existing architecture and reuse items existing on the site. The setup would allow those in the dynamic space to see what is happening in the maker space. “The idea is to have this space tie in to what it was originally used for, which is this making of power for the entire complex to make fabric, so we really wanted to tie back into the whole idea of making things,” Zimmerman said. “We think this is a really good opportunity to introduce some new and unique programs to the space to really bring a vibrancy back to the city of Cleveland.” The flatiron building became workshop and training space in Michael Turko and Paige Jessop’s design. Jessop said the design focused on “making a place of creation.” This could include a wood shop, areas for artists and a media lab where community members learn how to use technology such as 3-D printers. Turko said the space was patterned after the Fab Lab in Knoxville. “While we were designing we were inspired by the beautiful landscape that surrounds this building,” Turko said. “So we spent some time using that to our advantage in the entrances to the building. You can enter either level from the outside.” The old railroad tresses in the area would serve as the support for the entrance to the second level. Student Billy Yang took on the task of giving a steel storage building on the site a new purpose. To connect people to a soccer field on one side of the building, Yang cut the building into two. One portion would be used as a gymnasium. The design also calls for a playground and pavilion to be built on the site. Students Christina Owens and Jared Dotson developed a concept for a new event space in the former dye building. "We tried to keep a lot of the feel that it has now, so keeping the graffiti and the overhang and kind of framing your view for the whole south side," Owens said. Dotson and Owens also proposed an outdoor garden, which could serve as alternate location for events and wedding photos. A bride room was also added in the design. Owens explained that the design divided the building into the main event area and smaller rooms to create a complex which could be rented out in its entirety or in sections. Turning the southernmost four-story building into a hotel and apartments was explored by several of the students. Student Catherine Felton focused on connecting the building to the larger Cleveland area and providing flexible stay options from short to long term. She also proposed retail spaces in the building that would provide opportunities for visitors to rent equipment for outdoor activities such as kayaking. Student Rijad Heldic incorporated commons areas to encourage those staying and living in the building to socialize with one another. Fellow student Tucker Tingle emphasized large rooms with open floor plans, while student Amy Stewart proposed a restaurant on the main floor with each of the levels above having a different style of living accommodation. The designs used the Church Street side of the property as the street entrance while emphasizing pedestrian traffic throughout the site. Coleman said moving forward to accomplish such ideas as those presented would take other partners. Selling or renting out buildings for redevelopment was discussed. “I realize that I cannot do this on my own,” Coleman said. Coleman has followed the motto “Transforming the old to serve the new’” in his efforts to repurpose the building. David L Turpin, D.C.

(AP) — Environmental groups have filed suit over a New Jersey theme park’s plans to cut nearly 19,000 trees to build a 90-acre solar farm. The groups claim Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson is violating the state’s municipal land use law. They say the plan would be harmful to the Barnegat Bay watershed. The groups say the amusement park’s parking lot and buildings would be a more appropriate location for a solar farm. In a statement, Janet Tauro of Clean Water Action said it’s illogical to destroy the forest to combat climate change. Six Flags has said the facility would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 24 times what the undisturbed forest is capable of removing on its own. It has also pledged to replant nearly 26,000 trees. ID of Arizona girl who died after swing set breaks released GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities have released the names of a girl who was killed and another injured in Gilbert after a backyard swing set broke apart. Gilbert police say 7-year-old Clara Bergan was flown to a Phoenix hospital, where she was later pronounced dead after Sunday’s accident. They say 14-year-old Kayla Eherlico was transported by ambulance to a different Phoenix hospital for treatment of a shoulder injury. Firefighters responded to the home around 9:30 a.m. Sunday and found both girls with head injuries. Police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Sanger says the 14-year-old was on the wooden swing and the younger girl was standing nearby when it snapped at the base. He says both were knocked into a swimming pool. Police say neither girl lived at the home nor were they related. Feds expand efforts to fight wildfires by reshaping forests FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The towering ponderosa pine trees are cut down and bundled in quick succession as heavy equipment winds its way through a national forest as part of the largest federal effort to reshape the forests to prevent wildfires. The felled trees then are shredded of their limbs and eventually will be taken from the forest in northern Arizona to Phoenix, where they’ll be turned into pallets. Other areas of the Coconino National Forest are blackened intentionally by fire, giving native plants a boost and any wildfire less of a chance to explode into something catastrophic. The complex wildfire-prevention effort encompassing four national forests — the Coconino, Kaibab, Apache-Sitgreaves and Tonto, all in northern Arizona — is known as the Four Forest Restoration Initiative. It aims to restore the forests to conditions ideal for wildlife, streams and cultural resources while creating a buffer for communities where large wildfires might devastate the landscape. The Forest Service has about two dozen similar efforts nationwide, mostly in in the western U.S., that reflect a focus on speeding up the pace and scale of forest-restoration work. The Arizona venture is not only the largest, but it has marked a rare case where the government, environmentalists and the timber industry — longtime adversaries — have reached a consensus to allow the project to move forward on a large scale. It eventually will cover 2.4 million acres along a prominent line of cliffs that divides Arizona’s high country from the desert. The biggest swath of the project — nearly 600,000 acres — was approved this month. Baltimore Police: Man arrested near scene of recent riots BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say they have arrested a man on a handgun charge near the scene of recent rioting over the death of a man fatally injured in officers’ custody. Police tweeted Monday that reports that the man was shot were not accurate. Live television coverage and photos tweeted from the scene showed medics putting a man in an ambulance and a large police presence, with officers lining up to apparently block one street. The activity is taking place in the Penn North neighborhood, where police first spotted Freddie Gray on April 12. He was arrested and fatally injured in police custody. Six officers were charged Friday in Gray’s death. North America’s tallest peak opens for climbers FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Hundreds of climbers are expected to attempt to summit North America’s tallest peak this season, which has begun. National Park Service rangers are ready to live on the mountain for the next three months to help with rescues on Mount McKinley. An average of 1,200 people annually in recent years have tried to reach the top of Mount McKinley, and just more than half succeed in most years. Last season, that number was a low 36 percent because of bad weather, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. One Mount McKinley climber died last year, and 32 climbers required medical attention. Frostbite and hypothermia were listed as the most common serious health problems. National Park Service spokeswoman Maureen Gualtieri is stationed at Talkeetna, which is at the mountain’s base at Denali National Park and Preserve. In one of her first daily blogs, she said the knee-deep snow was soft as of April 24 and thinned out at the mountain’s highest elevations to slightly less than normal. In Fairbanks, four climbers planning to tackle the 20,320-foot mountain are University of Alaska Fairbanks students Evan Mathers, Paul Owens, Adam McComb and Conrad Chapman. They plan to climb one day after graduating May 10. Supreme Court rejects inmate’s appeal for sex-change surgery BOSTON (AP) — A nearly twodecade legal fight by a convicted murderer in Massachusetts to get taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery ended in failure Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected her final appeal. The justices did not comment in letting stand a lower-court ruling denying the surgery to Michelle Kosilek. “This is a terrible and inhumane result for Michelle,” said Jennifer Levi, director of the Transgender Rights Project for Boston-based Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders. The state Department of Correction, which has fought the surgery, did not immediately respond to a request to comment. State prison officials, who say the surgery could cost as much as $50,000, have said in the past they opposed the surgery because it would create security problems. Kosilek was known as Robert Kosilek when she was convicted of murdering her spouse, Cheryl, in 1990. Kosilek, now 65, said in her legal fight against the state prisons department that her Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment was being violated and the surgery is necessary to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder. “The treatment of Michelle has been cruel and unusual, according to two lengthy, thoughtful, and closely reasoned judgments,” Joseph Sulman, one of Kosilek’s lawyers, said Monday. “The DOC’s behavior has been abominable as they have repeatedly defied their own experts in their eagerness to deny her desperately needed medical attention.” Mom charged with throwing baby into river; he was rescued ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania mother accused of throwing her 1-year-old son into a river before jumping from a bridge herself has been charged with attempted homicide. Rescuers pulled Johnesha Monae Perry and her son from the Lehigh River in Allentown on Sunday afternoon. The 19-year-old Perry is charged with one count each of attempted homicide and endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of aggravated assault. She was arraigned from her hospital bed. She’s being held in lieu of $100,000 bail pending a May 11 preliminary hearing. Lehigh County’s public defender’s office says a lawyer hasn’t yet been assigned to the case. Officers found the baby about 700 yards downstream and performed CPR. Police say Perry and the baby were in serious condition Sunday but expected to survive. Police: 4 dead, 1 hurt in shooting on Wisconsin bridge MENASHA, Wis. (AP) — Four people are dead and one person is injured after a man opened fire on a bridge in a small city in eastern Wisconsin in what police described as a random shooting. The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Menasha on the Fox Cities Trestle Trail bridge that spans Little Lake Butte des Morts, according to Menasha police. Police Chief Tim Styka said the shooter was among those who died. The man was pronounced dead at a hospital. “At this point we do not believe there is any other threat to the community,” Styka said. “We think this was a random act. It does not appear that anyone was targeted.” No responding officer fired their weapons, he added. The surviving victim underwent surgery at Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah. Hospital spokeswoman Megan Mulholland said the woman in her 30s was in critical condition Monday. Menasha City Council President James Taylor said violence is uncommon in his community, about 100 miles north of Milwaukee. Italian astronaut brews, sips first fresh espresso in space CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The International Space Station is finally serving up fresh Italian espresso. Over the weekend, astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy fired up the world’s first espresso machine in space. She posted a photo of herself on Twitter on Sunday, sipping from a cup designed for use in zero-gravity. For the special occasion, she put on her “Star Trek” uniform top. She couldn’t resist tweeting the phrase, “to boldly brew.” Cristoforetti, who returns to Earth next week, almost didn’t get any espresso. The experimental espresso maker, straight from Italy, was supposed to arrive in January, but didn’t get to orbit until April because of a shipment backlog. There’s no word yet on how Cristoforetti liked the space brew. But it had to beat NASA’s instant coffee, drunk by straw from a pouch.

A disappointing trade deficit was already estimated to have cut 1.25 percentage points from first quarter growth. But the March performance could send GDP into negative territory. Economists are looking for a bounce back in growth in the current April-June quarter to around 2 percent, climbing to a 3 percent average in the second half of the year. Rising employment is expected to fuel stronger consumer spending, which should help offset sluggish export growth. Exports have been hurt by an increase in the value of the dollar against other major currencies over the past year. A strong dollar makes U.S. products more expensive overseas while lowering the price of imported products and making them more competitive in the U.S. market. For the first three months of this year, the trade deficit was 5.2 percent higher than the same period a year ago. A larger trade deficit acts as a drag on growth because it means more U.S. producers are losing sales to foreign competitors. 3 congregants killed in semi, church van crash identified WAWARSING, N.Y. (AP) — State police have identified three congregants of a New York City church who were killed when a tractor-trailer slammed into the van they were riding in after attending a religious retreat. Troopers identified the victims as: Miguel St. Louis, 17, of Brooklyn; Ricadeau Anantua, 33, of Freeport; and Garry Edouard, 48, of Wyandanch. State police said the driver of the van, Guepson Gue, 61, of Brooklyn, and passenger Mario Esteverne Sr., 59, of North Elmont, remain in critical but stable condition at Westchester Medical Center. Police say the semi collided with the passenger side of the church van as it tried to enter Route 209 in the town of Wawarsing at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The van was carrying seven people from the Bethesda French Seventh-day Adventist Church in Brooklyn. 95-year-old man fights off wouldbe robber with cane MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Police say a 95-year-old World War II veteran used his cane to fight off a would-be robber in Manchester, New Hampshire. Arthur Kamberis was leaving a pharmacy on Saturday when a man approached and reached for his wallet, which was in a zippered pocket. Kamberis started to fight him off and hit him several times with his cane. A passer-by helped Kamberis, and the attacker fled. Kamberis wasn't hurt, and the good Samaritan drove him home. Kamberis told WMUR-TV had my credit card, my license, my grandchildren's pictures in there and all sorts of stuff it would have been wicked for me to replace." Police are still searching for the man and are circulating a surveillance photo. Ohio woman gets 18 months in 100-year-old mother's death BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) — A 77-year-old Ohio woman has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting she caused her 100-year-old mother's death by severe neglect. Logan County Common Pleas Judge Mark O'Connor sentenced Mary Strawser Monday and says it's "incredulous" that more wasn't done to take care of Strawser's mother. Prosecutors say Strawser neglected her mother for years, leaving her to die on a couch in a dilapidated trailer in Rushsylvania. Authorities found Blanche Cowen dead in 2014 after a mentally-disabled man who also lived in the trailer discovered she wasn't breathing. She was 84 pounds when she died.

The couple's 53-year-old son, Phil, checks it daily on his smartphone. If there's no activity during a designated time, the younger Dworsky gets an automated email, so he can decide whether to call or stop by. "This is peace of mind, really," he says of the system he installed last year. The Silicon Valley tech executive lives just across town, but the sensors help him keep an eye on his aging parents while also raising a teenage daughter and frequently traveling for work. While his parents don't need a lot of assistance, they have stopped driving and his father uses a cane. "I want to be in the position where I will know when I need to step in," he says. Advances in low-cost sensors and wireless networks are fueling a boom in the so-called "smart" home. And companies are looking beyond home security and temperature control to creating products for Baby Boomers trying to balance caring for aging parents and respecting their independence. It's a new twist on the notion of personal alarms, such as the Life Alert system that gained popularity with "Help, I've fallen and can't get up" advertisements. These systems often use simple, inexpensive components such as accelerometers that know when an object is moved. Others use small power sensors to track electricity use or contact circuits that tell when a door is open or closed. Companies like Lively, Evermind and BeClose charge $50 to $300 for a set of sensors and $30 to $70 a month for wireless monitoring. Each promises to safeguard clients' personal information. A set of motion sensors from San Francisco-based Lively seemed right for the Dworskys, whose son calls them "fiercely independent." Before hearing about Lively, Phil had raised the idea of a webcam in their home. "They immediately didn't want it. It was a privacy violation," he said. But they agreed to sensors that collect "a more limited set of information." Dorothy doesn't think much about the system tracking her daily routine. "It's un-intrusive. That's what we like about it," she said. "We want to be able to stay in our home, and this is one way that makes it possible." Electronic tracking does raise issues around dignity and privacy, says Dr. Christine Ritchie, a geriatrics professor at the University of California, San Francisco. She believes some concerns will diminish as more people get used to using fitness bands, "smart" thermostats and other gadgets that track their daily lives, though. And independence is attractive. "Many of my older patients would be totally unenthusiastic about having anyone monitor any part of their life," says Ritchie. "But some would be grateful for the prospect of continuing to live in their own home, rather than an institution where they have less control." Michigan resident Vicki White, 62, was taken aback when her daughter, who lives in Florida, suggested an Evermind system that uses power sensors to track how often appliances such as coffee makers, lamps or televisions are used. White's health is good, but she lives in a rural area without close neighbors. White's own mother had lived alone and struggled with Alzheimer's disease that wasn't detected right away. "I thought maybe she thought I was flipping out," White says of her daughter, 42-year-old Melanie Champion. "She explained that she just wanted to know I was OK and my routine was as it should be. It's actually very comforting because I know she's concerned." An app on Champion's smartphone shows when her mother starts her coffee pot in the morning and when she turns off the TV before going to bed at night. "It's really nice, except she wants to lecture me about how late I stay up at night," White laughs. "I have to reassure her that I fell asleep on the couch." Before installing sensors, seniors and their families should have a frank talk about privacy and how much help they need, say experts. "This type of technology can help, but it's not the only answer or solution," says Lynn Friss Feinberg of the American Association of Retired Persons. "Older adults need conversation, social engagement and access to a range of supportive services. And hugs." UsGs hawaiian volcano observatory via AP in this MAy 3 Photo provided by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, smoke and lava explode from Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. Molten lava and rocks went flying through the air after part of the crater wall collapsed and caused the explosion. Crater collapse causes lava explosion on Hawaii’s Kilauea HONOLULU (AP) — Molten lava, rocks and gas went flying through the air on Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano after an explosion was caused by the partial collapse of a crater wall. The collapse triggered a small explosion, spreading lava and debris around the rim of Kilauea’s Halemaumau Crater, the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says. Janet Babb, a geologist with the USGS, compared the blast on Sunday to taking a hammer to the top of a bottle of champagne. “You look at the bottle and you see the liquid, but you don’t see the gas,” she said. “There’s a lot of gas in the lava. And so, when that rock fall hits the lava lake, it’s like the moment you knock the top of the champagne bottle off and that gas is released and it hurls molten lava and rock fragments.” Rocks overhanging the lava lake are altered by gases coming from the lava, Babb said. The rocks eventually give way and collapse into the lava, causing an explosion. The material was hurled about 280 feet skyward, she said. Video of the event shows a wall of rocks sliding into a lava lake that last week rose to a recordhigh level. The slide caused an explosion that sent fist-size chunks of rock onto the closed Halemaumau visitor overlook, according to the Geological Survey. The area has been closed since 2008, when the lava lake formed, and no one was injured. There could be fallout of ash and dust from this type of event, but it’s very unlikely that anyone could be injured, Babb said. Wind direction dictates the amount of debris that lands in visitor areas, and it is relatively common, she said. The last time molten lava was visible in the crater was in 1982, when a fissure erupted. The last time there was a lake similar to this one was in 1974. The vent within Halemaumau Crater has been rising and falling since it first opened, but it reached a record high last week. Even at its previous highest level in October 2012, the lake was too low for people to see. During the day, people could view the gas rising from the lake, and at night people could see the orange glow from the lava. From the early 1800s up until 1924, there was a continuous lake of lava at Kilauea summit within Halemaumau. At that time, the crater was about half the diameter of what it is now. In 1924, there was a huge eruption inside the volcano that doubled the size of the crater. Since 1924, lava lakes have been present at different times. In 1967 and 1968, the entire crater was filled with molten lava. Cleveland Daily Banner 1505 25TH STREET N.W.

In the previous three league tournaments, the “Feisty Fillies” have had to come out of the loser’s bracket with the high pressure of do-or-die games. Tonight Coach Lauren Limburg’s herd will stampede into the title game with a Region 3-AAA berth already in hand, and would have to lose twice to have to settle for the runner-up trophy for a fourth straight campaign. “I challenged these girls before the tournament began to be in this position and they have never stopped believing,” the Lady Mustang mentor related after an 8-6 victory over top-seeded Soddy-Daisy Monday evening in the winner’s bracket final at Bob McKenzie Field. Punching their ticket for next week’s region event takes the pressure off and allows Walker Valley to concentrate on its goal of claiming its first district title since 2009. The Lady Mustangs (24-7) will await the winner of this evening’s battle between Soddy-Daisy (268) and second-seeded Ooltewah (32-8), which knocked off East Hamilton 11-0 Monday night to stay alive. With a pair of disappointing league losses in the final week of regular season, Walker Valley tied with the Lady Trojans and Lady Owls with 9-3 district records, but had to settle for the No. 3 seed after the tie-breaker criteria was applied. Tonight’s Soddy-Ooltewah victor will also advance to the region tournament next week, as well as face Walker Valley for the district crown. With Coach Limburg having stressed to her herd the importance of a quick start against the Lady Trojans, she was excited to see her team put up a trio of runs in the game’s first at bat. “It was huge for us to get those runs in the first inning. We haven’t been a team that scores a lot early, but I felt like tonight we really needed to,” she stated. Tennessee Wesleyan signee Carly Frost led the game off with a walk and was bunted up to second by teammate Sydney Ventura. Lady Trojan coach Wes Skiles then showed that he wasn’t going to let two-time all-state standout Hallie Davis beat his team with her bat, issuing the Lee signee the first of four intentional walks. After another walk to TWC signee AJ Chancey to load the bases, junior Emilee Spann sliced a single down the right field line to drive in Frost and Davis.

Unwilling to just surrender, the six-time defending district champion Soddy-Daisy squad answered with a four-run rally in the bottom of the first to grab the lead. Highlighted by a bases-clear- ing double off the fence by Morgan Beasley, the Lady Trojans also got some help from a trio of free passes, the last of which drove in a run. Neither team scored in the second inning despite leaving two ducks on the pond apiece. The “Feisty Fillies” cranked back up their scoring machine with another three-run rally in the top of the third frame to take the lead for good. After Bean and fellow senior Mackenzie Elrod had drawn free passes, Ali King sliced a single to right to load the bases. Frost then smacked a hard grounder to the Soddy shortstop, who threw to third for the fielder’s choice, allowing Bean to score. Ventura followed with a hard shot into the left-center field gap and when the dust settled, she was on third base with a triple, scoring both King and Frost. Walker Valley got a pair of big insurance runs in the top of the fourth when Lincoln Memorial signee Alicia Raymond was “plunked,” and Bean followed with her fourth home run of the season, this one into the trees beyond the left field fence. The Lady Trojans came back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth when Grayson Brown smacked a two-out single to drive in a couple of teammates. Neither team would score in the final three innings, although Soddy threatened by getting the first five batters on base in the sixth, plus the first three in the bottom of the seventh. The Lady Trojans left 10 runners on base in the contest, while Walker Valley stranded nine. Snapping out of a recent minislump, Bean went 3-for-3, with her homer and a trio of “ribbies.” “I just wanted to help my team,” declared Bean. “I’ve been struggling some lately, so I felt it was important to step up and have a good game.

BOWERS Banner Staff Writer For the second time in less than a month, a school in Bradley County has seen its football program placed on probation by the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. The Cleveland High School football program has been placed on a two-year probation by the TSSAA. The probation and penalties of reduced practice sessions and scrimmages were handed down by the state’s athletic association, due to what it considers prohibited communication by Cleveland High coach Scott Cummings with the guardian of a Cleveland Middle School student.

Top-seeded Polk will play host to No. 2 seed Sequoyah this evening at 5:30 in the event’s winner’s bracket final. Lady Wildcats blank Loudon in 5-AA opener From Staff Reports BENTON — Polk County had an easy opening round game in the District 5-AA Tournament, but now must face the only league team to beat the Lady Wildcats this season. Top-seeded Polk blanked No. 5 seed Loudon 8-0 in the semifinal contest in Benton Monday and will now entertain second-seeded Sequoyah this evening. “We tied with Sequoyah for first place in the district (both with 7-1 records), but we got them on the run differential to get the top seed,” explained Polk head coach Bill Triplett. The Lady Wildcats defeated the Lady Chiefs 8-4 in Madisonville during the regular season, but dropped an 86 decision in Benton. Today’s victor will advance to the district title game Thursday, plus earn a spot in next week’s Region 3-AA Tournament, The loser will have to face the winner of tonight’s game between Loudon and Sweetwater in an elimination game Wednesday. Polk County (17-6) scored solo runs in each of the first four frames Monday before putting up a 4-spot in the bottom of the fifth inning to seal the scoring. “We scored six of our eight runs with two outs,” explained Coach Triplett. “We were able to get some timely hits and grind it out.” “We got some good pitching from Hannah (Triplett) and we played pretty clean defense for the most part,” he added. The younger Triplett improved to 12-4 in the circle this season, striking out seven and scattering five hits in the complete-game, shutout effort. She also went 2-for-3 at the dish with a double and drove in a pair of runs to support her own cause. All-stater Aubrie Bowman went 3-for-4 at the plate, while Tennessee Wesleyan signee Brianna Muller laced a pair of hits in four trips to the batter’s box. sUMMArY loudon 000 000 0 — 0 5 2 Polk county 111 140 x — 8 11 3 WP: Hannah Triplett (12-4) 7 IP, 7 K’s, 5 hits, 0 ER. lP: Lexi Harmon. 2B: Brianna Muller, Hannah Triplett (PC). highlights: Aubrie Bowman 3-4; Muller 2-4; Triplett 2-3, 2 RBIs (PC). records: Loudon n/a.

Their meeting was reportedly at the Cleveland High fieldhouse, and requested by the student. Cleveland Director of Schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff reported the investigation and subsequent TSSAA decision to the city schools Board of Education Monday evening. “We back Coach Cummings 100 percent on this,” said Ringstaff. “It’s ridiculous to think this is not happening (frequently) across the state.” Cummings reportedly talked to the student during his first-period weightlifting class at Cleveland Middle School, where the student is enrolled in the class. At the student’s request, his guardian later met with Cummings on the high school campus. TSSAA ruled the violation was the visit to the fieldhouse, which is on a separate campus. According to a release from Cleveland High Principal Autumn O’Bryan, the meeting was set up to discuss the student’s behavior. At the end of the discussion, the vision and focus of the Cleveland football program were reportedly discussed, which was ruled a violation of TSSAA policy. Cummings said there was no intention to influence or recruit a student from outside the city school system. “Cleveland Middle will continue to be our feeder,” he added. “I will make the necessary adjustments and move forward.” One development of the ruling and penalty is that the studentathlete was also suspended from participating at Cleveland for the upcoming football season. “In their (TSSAA) eyes, no one has a feeder system,” said Ringstaff, adding that as Cleveland High’s varsity coach, Cummings cannot discuss football with any eighth-grade student (or parent figure). He said that if Cleveland Middle School was located on the same campus as the high school, as it was in the past, the meeting would have been entirely permissible. Now, they are separate See PROBATION, Page 15 Wood struggles again as Braves fall to Phillies ATLANTA (AP) — Alex Wood’s second straight poor start has the young Atlanta left-hander wondering how he can reclaim the form that made his 2014 rookie season a success. Wood struggled with his command and was pulled in the fifth inning as Jeff Francoeur and the Philadelphia Phillies rolled to a 52 victory over the Braves on Monday night. Wood, 24, allowed three runs, nine hits and two walks in 4 1-3 innings. “His command wasn’t good,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “I’m not overly concerned, but that’s not him.” Wood (1-2) said his sinker and changeup “haven’t been there.” He allowed five runs in five innings in a 13-4 loss to Washington in his last start. “I’ve got to make an adjustment,” Wood said after his ERA rose to 4.32 with his second straight loss. “It’s a humbling game, to say the least.” Wood was 11-11 with a 2.78 ERA as a rookie. Francoeur, who began his career with the Braves, ended his 0-for-19 drought with four hits and drove in two runs. Francoeur’s family, including his wife, daughter and grandmother, watched as he had a runscoring double off Wood in Philadelphia’s three-run first inning. He drove in another run with a triple off Jim Johnson in the ninth. He also had two singles. “Anytime that happens it feels good but obviously in Atlanta, with my family and my daughter here, it was special,” Francoeur said. Aaron Harang (3-2), who pitched for the Braves last sea- AP photo AtlAntA BrAves stArting Pitcher Alex Wood works in the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies Monday, in Atlanta. son, allowed five hits and one run in six innings. In two starts against Atlanta this season, Harang has allowed one run and seven hits in 14 innings. He was 12-12 with a career-best 3.57 ERA with Atlanta last season. Carlos Ruiz had two hits, including a two-run single, and Darrin Ruf had three of the Phillies’ season-high 14 hits. Harang gave up the run in the sixth when Andrelton Simmons tripled off the wall in center field and scored on Freddie Freeman’s single. With Freeman still on first, Odubel Herrera caught Jonny Gomes’ drive at the top of the wall in center. Herrera made the leaping catch after being unable to run down Simmons’ drive. Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon gave up a run-scoring infield hit to Nick Markakis in the ninth. HIGH HEAT Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg came out of the dugout in the eighth when an inside pitch from Luis Avilan sent Ben Revere to the ground. The pitch appeared to hit the knob of Revere’s bat. Revere then took a called third strike to end the inning. Sandberg said after the game he didn’t know if Avilan was wild or trying to brush back Revere. LOCKED IN AT LEADOFF Markakis ended an 0-for-14 slump with a leadoff single in the first, his first of two hits. Markakis hit leadoff for the 10th straight game and appears locked into the spot. “Of all the options we have, he’s the one who makes the most sense,” Gonzalez said before the game. TRAINER’S ROOM Phillies: A healthy 1B Ryan Howard was rested from the starting lineup against the lefthanded Wood. Howard is hitting .176 against left-handers and .193 overall. Braves: IF-OF Kelly Johnson was rested after making eight straight starts, leaving the Braves with their 26th different lineup in as many games.

(AP) — His voice cracked first. Then, his eyes got red. Finally, Stephen Curry cried. He had felt this way in the past — when he barely received any scholarship offers out of high school, when some questioned whether his game could translate from tiny Davidson College to the NBA, when he sat in a doctor’s office searching for answers on how to fix his troublesome right ankle. Curry could let it all out and laugh now. This was a time for celebration. The Golden State Warriors point guard won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award Monday, the biggest moment yet of a young career already full of overcoming obstacles. Curry received the Maurice Podoloff Trophy in a packed hotel ballroom below Golden State’s downtown Oakland practice facility. He shook his head in disbelief as he was announced as the winner of the league’s top individual honor. “There were obviously good times and bad times. Times I wanted to shut it down. Times where you realize that all the hard work you put into it was worth it,” Curry said. “It just made me realize how blessed and thankful I really am to be in this position.” Curry received 100 of 130 firstplace votes for a total of 1,198 points from a panel of 129 writers and broadcasters, along with the fan vote on the NBA’s website. Houston’s James Harden had 25 first-place votes and 936 points. Cleveland’s LeBron James, a four-time MVP, got five first-place votes and 552 points. Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook (352 points) finished fourth and New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis (203 points) was fifth. Curry’s family informed him of the news at his house after Golden State’s win over Memphis in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Sunday. Curry, pulled into a room by his basketball-playing brother, Seth, opened the door to see everyone wearing personalized MVP Tshirts, holding cameras and sporting “the cheesiest smiles you could ever imagine.” “It was a great moment that I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Curry said. Afterward, he sat in a chair for about 10 minutes and reflected on his journey. Curry kept his cool in private Sunday. He had trouble staying composed at times in public Monday. Curry was joined on stage by Warriors coach Steve Kerr, general manager Bob Myers and his teammates — praising each of them individually. He got choked up talking about his pregnant wife, Ayesha, and their 2-yearold daughter, Riley, who sat in the front row with the rest of his family. And he shed a few tears talking about his father, Dell, pounding the dais while he gathered his thoughts. “A lot of people thought I had it easy with pops playing in the NBA,” he said, shaking his head. Curry thanked just about every team employee, too, includ- ing former general manager Larry Riley and retired coach Don Nelson for “taking a chance on a scrawny, little kid from a midmajor school.” Across the country, James called Curry the “catalyst” for Golden State’s rise from perennial loser to championship contender. “I think it’s great that another kid born in Akron, Ohio, can win an MVP, so I liked it,” James said at the Cavaliers’ shootaround. Curry, now 27, was born in Akron but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he started in the shadows of his father. Despite his famous name, most major colleges didn’t offer Curry a scholarship because they thought he was too small. Curry proved them all wrong, going from a shooting guard who dazzled at Davidson during the NCAA Tournament to a polished See MVP, Page 15 Southern League names Buxton Player of the Week CHATTANOOGA — Today, the weekly accolade at the Double-A Southern League announced level.

(AP) — There was a nearly five-year period for Dale Earnhardt Jr. when being a famous race car driver wasn’t all glitz and glamour. He was a non-factor on the race track, barely even contended at Daytona and Talladega, the two places he was supposed to be unbeatable, and he is the first to admit his confidence had crumbled. Rebuilding NASCAR’s most popular driver was a lengthy process that took a firm commitment from Rick Hendrick and a ton of patience from Earnhardt’s rabid fan base. The turnaround was slow — some laps led here, a win there — until he finally hit his stride last season with a Daytona 500 victory and three other wins. So it was no surprise Sunday to see Earnhardt back in victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway, a track he at one time had conquered with the same ease as his father. The late Dale Earnhardt won 10 times at the Alabama restrictor-plate track; his son once reeled off five wins in seven races. What was a surprise was the pure emotion that poured out of Junior when he climbed from his car following his sixth Talladega victory, his first at the track since 2004, and one that came just four days after what would have been his father’s 64th birthday. Earnhardt choked on his words as he talked about how much he appreciates his life, that he doesn’t think he deserves all this happiness. Hours later, the beer and champagne soaking through his firesuit and his emotions finally in check, he was asked what made him so reflective immediately after the win. His answer showed again what a thoughtful and sincere man Earnhardt has become. Shy as a child, then cast as a party boy when he moved to NASCAR’s top series, he’s finally figured out exactly who he is. He’s a homebody at heart who has found the woman of his dreams, and together they’ve learned a greater appreciation for every success he earns on the track. At 40, he’s blissfully content and forever grateful for this opportunity he still has driving the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet. “I think the part I feel I don’t think I deserve is the racing side of it — there’s just not many second chances,” he said. “I feel like if my name wasn’t Earnhardt that I wouldn’t have had the second chance. I feel like I owe my second chance to my dad, his legacy, because the way I ran ... I feel I didn’t deserve to be kept around or hung onto.” A fan of all sports and a bit of a historian, Earnhardt said he has seen plenty of sons follow their father into business and fail. After just four wins in nine seasons, Earnhardt certainly wasn’t living up to his father’s legacy. The late Dale Earnhardt was a seven-time Cup champion, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, winner of 76 career races and a driver who sent shivers down the spines of his rivals when they saw him in the rearview mirror. During all those lean years, the question of if Junior would ever win a Cup championship was replaced by “Will he ever even win a race again?” Last season proved he’s a winner again, maybe even a championship contender. It also became clear that Earnhardt had found a companion in girlfriend Amy Reimann who brought out the best in him. His genuine love for Reimann poured out of him during his post-race obligations. They’d made the decision last week that she wouldn’t attend Talladega and instead would get things done around their North Carolina home. When he woke up Sunday morning and she wasn’t there on race day, he realized what a bad idea it had been for her not to come. “I was miserable that she wasn’t here,” he said. “It just proves to me how much she means to me and how important she is to me. She’s been a big help in getting me out of my shell.” Earnhardt talked about how he spent so many years holed up in his motorhome at the race track, how he turned down so many invitations to parties or events just to sit on his computer and online race. “I thought I was having fun, but I was really miserable,” he said. “She’s made my life a whole lot more enjoyable and showed me how to have fun and showed me there’s a lot more to life.” He also credited his sister, Kelley, who runs JR Motorsports for him, and his mother, Brenda, who has been a fixture in his inner circle the last several years. “Everything is in the right direction, everybody is happy,” Earnhardt said. “I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to be.” That is the way it was supposed to be at Talladega. Earnhardt has figured out how to make it work everywhere.

Brewers defeat Dodgers in Counsell’s mangerial debut Probation From Page 13 MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Brewers rallied for three runs in the eighth inning to win Craig Counsell’s managerial debut, a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw was denied his 100th career win, and took a no-decision. The Brewers overcame a 3-0 deficit with one run in the sixth and three in the eighth in Counsell’s first game since taking over for Ron Roenicke, who was fired Sunday night. Hector Gomez and pinch-hitter Gerardo Parra opened the sixth with consecutive triples to cut the lead to 3-1. Gomez pulled the Brewers within a run at 3-2 in the eighth with his first career home run. Adam Lind chased Kershaw with a pinch-hit double, and Carlos Gomez greeted reliever Chris Hatcher (0-3) with a tying RBI double. Gomez advanced to third on Jason Rogers’ groundout and then scored on infield single by Ryan Braun. RANGERS 2, ASTROS 1 HOUSTON (AP) — Robinson Chirinos hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, and Texas snapped Houston’s 10game winning streak. Chirinos’ sacrifice fly to center scored Adrian Beltre, who led off the inning with a double off Chad Qualls (0-2), moved to third on Kyle Blanks’ single and slid in as Jake Marisnick’s throw to the plate went to the backstop. Keone Kela (2-1) pitched the eighth for the win, and Neftali Feliz pitched the ninth for his third save. Houston scored in the first as Jose Altuve and George Springer drew walks, worked a double steal and Altuve scored on Evan Gattis’ sacrifice fly to make it 1-0. Jake Smolinski tied it in the eighth with a one-out RBI single to center. MARINERS 3, ANGELS 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nelson Cruz hit his major league-leading 14th home run and Felix Hernandez won his fifth straight decision to start the season, leading Seattle over Los Angeles. Cruz celebrated his first AL Player of the Month Award with a leadoff shot against Matt Shoemaker (2-2) that snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh. Hernandez (5-0) allowed a run in seven innings while striking out eight and lowering his ERA to 1.73. The 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner became the first Seattle starter since 2001 to win his first five decisions. Fernando Rodney closed for his eighth save. Logan Morrison and Seth Smith also homered off Shoemaker, who was 3-0 in his four previous starts against the Mariners. The right-hander struck out 10 in 7 1-3 innings.

Justin Bour homered for the Marlins, who have dropped two straight after winning nine of 10. RAYS 5, RED SOX 1 BOSTON (AP) — Jake Odorizzi pitched seven strong innings, Joey Butler hit his first career homer and Tampa Bay’s offense perked up a bit. David DeJesus drove in two runs for the Rays, who scored just four runs in a three-game set this past weekend against Baltimore. Boston left fielder Hanley Ramirez was injured in the first inning and left the game with a sprained left shoulder after he ran into a padded side wall attempting to make a catch. The Rays have been held to two or fewer runs in nearly half of their games. Odorizzi (3-2) gave up one run, seven hits and struck out six. He matched a Rays’ club record by not allowing a homer for the sixth straight start. CARDINALS 10, CUBS 9 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tony Cruz hit a tiebreaking, two-run double to cap a four-run seventh inning, and St. Louis rallied to beat Chicago for its seventh straight win.

He is embarrassed, and we’re embarrassed.” Penalties include the elimination of the Raiders’ 7-on-7 drills this summer, and preseason scrimmages. Cleveland will not be able to compete in a preseason jamboree, and the program was fined $1,000. Cleveland is also limited to five days of practice during the 10day window in 2016, with only two scrimmages and no jamboree appearance. Athletic Director Eric Phillips said Cleveland High is taking steps to correct misinterpretation of the rule. The TSSAA action against Cleveland comes on the heels of a recent decision against crosstown rival Bradley Central, also penalized for a recruiting violation. School board member Peggy Pesterfield asked Monday evening, “Is there an example of this happening before?” to which Ringstaff responded, “We are now the example!” Another board member, Dawn Robinson, asked, “Would the punishment have been the same if Coach Cummings had gone to Ocoee Middle or Lake Forest Middle (county schools) and spoke to a student?” She was answered in the affirmative. Coaches, former coaches, and administrators in the audience joined Ringstaff in saying they feel the TSSAA decision was harsh. The consensus of opinions among school officials Monday night is the rule should be reviewed. One administrator, and a former coach, said there were probably coaches across the state who spoke with prospective players Monday, thus violating the rule in question. Penalties have been handed down and accepted by Cleveland’s administration and coaches. Braves From Page 13 the game in left field in the eighth.

Curry carried the top-seeded Warriors to a franchise-record 67 wins, surpassed his own NBA record for most 3-pointers in a season and added to his growing reputation as one of the most entertaining spectacles in sports. He’s the franchise’s first MVP since Wilt Chamberlain in 1960, when the Warriors played in Philadelphia. But there were times it seemed Curry’s potential might not be reached. Two operations on his right ankle in his first three seasons with Golden State fueled questions about his durability. Curry signed a $44 million, four-year contract extension with the Warriors before the 2012-13 season. Back then, the deal looked like a major risk. Now, he’s one of basketball’s best bargains. Myers got choked up thinking back to those days. He recalled sitting in a doctor’s office with Curry listening to the results on the point guard’s injured ankle. “I remember thinking that day, ‘This can’t be how his career goes. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be,’” Myers said. “And then I fast forward in my own mind to today and I sit here sharing a stage with him thinking, ‘This is how it’s supposed to be for Steph. This is the conclusion of four years of work and effort.’” ‘Feisty Fillies’ From Page 13 team really stepped up tonight.” Raymond improved to 18-7 in the circle this season with the complete-game effort.

This week these items have produced what at first glance may be an unusual combination of events. Cinco De Mayo is to be celebrated today and the Mother’s Day holiday is this Sunday. Cinco De Mayo is actually not a federal holiday in the United States of America, but it is more widely celebrated in America than even in Mexico. It is also not to be confused with Mexico’s Independence Day, but it does celebrate the defeat of the French Army, with the help of American forces, during the Battle of Puebla in Mexico on May 5, 1862. OUR COUNTY Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis These distinctions help to solidify the pro-American components of life in the mid- to late-Civil War era that helped to build upon these events strong American celebrations for all to enjoy. With a diverse background sharing a common goal and an increase in participation, may we all continue to see that we are stronger when we work together to achieve any goal. Mother’s Day is a federal holiday in America that is celebrated literally worldwide. Few may know it was actually started by a woman who did not have children. Also originating at the time of the American Civil War, Ms. Anna Jarvis (born in 1864) watched her mother, Mrs. Ann Jarvis, work tirelessly for families across the nation and wanted to find a way to honor her mother and the many sacrifices of those who shared her love and devotion for family. While working to found this holiday, at first she soon became one of its greatest critics as she felt that people had begun to rely on others to express their appreciation and true feelings of love for their individual mothers and their families as well. This relying on others did not allow for proper self-expression of thankfulness and was allowing some to turn this once honorable idea into a profit-making machine for a few who developed card and floral businesses to serve the ever-increasing need. If it is possible for you to speak with your mother this weekend, please do so. Take the time to let them know that they are cared for, appreciated, remembered and LOVED. This moment of conversation may be the last time you ever get to do this activity, and I was always taught to “give roses to the living.” Your investment in time, words and actions can and will produce results that are nothing short of amazing each and every time. Whether we are celebrating the combining of forces to reach a common goal or the ability to once again say “thank you” to those who have literally given us life, please remember to do so with love and appreciation of the time that we have been given each day. I remember my mother, each Mother’s Day, with fondness as one who left behind a legacy of love, integrity, godly character and manners that will influence the Davis family for generations. There are many things I miss about her, but I am thankful for the opportunity to have been “instructed by the best.” Time may be what we all value, but it is also what some of us wish we had more of now. Please join with me this Sunday on Mother’s Day in thanking God for those gracious ladies who taught with few words but by lots of examples, and whose value to this community has been and is invaluable. As your county mayor, I appreciate each mother and your contribution to our county’s way and quality of life. You hold the most precious title of all ... “Mother.” Thank you!

Today’s Highlights in History: On May 5, 1945, in the only fatal attack of its kind during World War II, a Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon, killing Elsie Mitchell, the 26-year-old pregnant wife of a minister, and five children: Dick Patzke, 14; Jay Gifford, 13; Edward Engen, 13; Joan Patzke, 13; and Sherman Shoemaker, 11. Denmark and the Netherlands were liberated as a German surrender went into effect. On this date: In 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, 51, died in exile on the island of St. Helena. In 1862, Mexican troops defeated French occupying forces in the Battle of Puebla. In 1865, what’s believed to be America’s first train robbery took place as a band of criminals derailed a St. Louis-bound train near North Bend, Ohio; they proceeded to rob the passengers and loot safes on board before getting away. In 1915, musical film star Alice Faye was born Alice Leppert in New York. In 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution. (Scopes was found guilty, but his conviction was later set aside.) In 1934, the first Three Stooges short for Columbia Pictures, “Woman Haters,” was released. In 1955, West Germany became a fully sovereign state. The baseball musical “Damn Yankees” opened on Broadway. In 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America’s first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7. In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of its Triple Crown victories. In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland in his 66th day without food. In 1985, President Ronald Reagan kept a controversial promise to West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl by leading a wreath-laying ceremony at the military cemetery in Bitburg. In 1994, Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism, a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton, who considered the punishment too harsh. Ten years ago: Tony Blair won a historic third term as Britain’s prime minister, but his Labor Party suffered a sharply reduced parliamentary majority. “Precious Doe,” a slain girl in Kansas City, Missouri, was identified after four years as 3-yearold Erica Michelle Marie Green. (Harrell Johnson was later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole; Erica’s mother, Michelle Green, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 25-year term.) Michael Jackson’s lawyers opened their successful defense in his molestation and conspiracy trial. Five years ago: Preliminary plans for a mosque and cultural center near ground zero in New York were unveiled, setting off a national debate over whether the project was disrespectful to 9/11 victims and whether opposition to it exposed anti-Muslim biases. Three people, trapped in an Athens bank torched by rioters, died during a nationwide strike against the cash-strapped Greek government’s harsh austerity measures. One year ago: A narrowly divided Supreme Court upheld Christian prayers at the start of local council meetings. Philadelphia guard Michael Carter-Williams won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year Award.

Dear Annie: I am an 83-yearold widow in good health. My daughter lives about two hours away. She is 50 and well educated and has been in a long-term relationship with an older retired man. She does a lot of care-giving for him and his family members. Three years ago, my daughter lost her job during an economic downturn and has made no attempt to find other employment. I have been giving her money every month and paid for a course in massage therapy, but she has not attempted to find a job in that field. She received insurance money to repair her home when it flooded over the winter, but she hasn’t done the repairs. Instead, she camps out at her boyfriend’s apartment. When I ask, she will come help me with certain things. She is my only child, and there are no other close relatives. I am not wealthy, but am comfortable. My daughter will inherit trust money and my house when I die, and this bothers me. I don’t want what my husband and I worked and planned for to eventually go to her boyfriend and his family. I am thinking of changing the trust, leaving her a fixed amount and giving the rest to a charity. Are there other alternatives? — A. Dear A.: There are always alternatives. You could leave your daughter the house and trust only under certain conditions, in order to exclude the boyfriend and his family, although that won’t necessarily change how your daughter chooses to live her life. But there is also nothing wrong with giving some (or all) of your money to a charity that would appreciate it. Please talk to an estate attorney, who will help you figure out the various possibilities and put them in writing. Dear Annie: Like “Lost for an Answer,” I wear suspenders and often have them snapped by someone else. If the suspender snapper is not wearing suspenders, I feel demeaned. But if he is wearing suspenders, too, then it is a salute from a brother. — Paul ——— (About the writers: Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Greece seeing progress Cleveland Daily Banner – Established in 1854 – in nation’s bailout talks ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Weekend negotiations between Greece and rescue lenders have made progress, officials on both sides said Monday even though Athens stressed it needed a swift release of delayed bailout money to keep up with debt payments. Greece’s new government is struggling to deliver economic reforms and budget measures that are deemed acceptable by creditors in order to secure the remaining money in its bailout fund worth 7.2 billion euros ($7.7 billion). Without the money, Greece faces the possibility of going bankrupt in the coming weeks, putting up controls on the free flow of capital and an exit from the euro. Its next big repayment is a 750 million-euro payment due to the International Monetary Fund on May 12. “At this moment, the government is discussing, it is negotiating, and there has been significant progress at these negotiations,” Greek government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis said. “The government is awaiting and expecting the release of funds, and for this liquidity to be made available not at the end of May, but as soon as possible.” A eurozone official said finance ministers from the currency zone would “take stock” of the situation at their regular meeting next Monday, and possibly “go beyond that if” talks in Brussels are fruitful over the rest of this week. The official, who did not want to be identified because the talks were ongoing, said the negotiations were finally “in full swing,” something they should have done weeks ago.

Box 3600 Cleveland, TN 37320 www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Tuesday, May 5, 2015—17 NYPD officer with promising career dies from gunshot wound Report: ‘Legal firewall’ shields Chinese firms from lawsuits WASHINGTON (AP) —Chinese companies are shielding themselves from lawsuits in America, denying U.S. businesses and investors their day in court, a report from a federal watchdog says. The report published Tuesday by the U.S.-China Economic Security Commission says that Chinese companies operating in the U.S. have built a legal firewall that keeps them largely immune from the jurisdiction of U.S. courts and regulatory agencies. They use complicated corporate structures that protect their Chinabased parent companies from U.S. lawsuits. And they often claim that Chinese secrecy and banking laws exempt them from turning over evidence and responding to U.S. court documents. The report calls on Congress to establish that Chinese companies fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts and require that Chinese firms assign agents to accept subpoenas and other U.S. court documents. For now, anyone suing a Chinese company can find it “almost impossible” to deliver court papers to the defendants in the United States, according to the report. That forces plaintiffs into a cumbersome international process for delivering legal documents and pursuing evidence in China. The paperwork must be translated into Chinese, then presented to China’s government, which often rejects the cases for alleged errors. The report, written by commission researcher Kevin Rosier, studied several cases involving stateowned Chinese banks and other financial firms. In a 2011 suit against Chinese companies that allegedly sold counterfeit handbags, for instance, Gucci America tried unsuccessfully to force the stateowned Bank of China to turn over financial records related to the sales of the disputed goods. Bank of China argued that Chinese law barred it from delivering the information. The case has been bogged down in U.S. courts for more than four years. Beijing-based Harvest Fund Management has so far managed to fend off a lawsuit filed last year by U.S.-based Krane Distribution. Krane alleges that Harvest reneged on an agreement to jointly market mutual funds in the U.S. But Harvest argues that only its shell company, Harvest USA, falls under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts and that Krane cannot collect evidence from Harvest operations in China, the report says. The problems reflect the complications that arise as China seeks to expand internationally, bringing to the U.S. companies that are often owned at least partially by the Chinese government. “It really puts American companies at an economic disadvantage,” says Frederick Longer, a lawyer with the Philadelphia law firm Levin, Fishbein, Sedran & Berman, who has pursued cases against Chinese companies.

Paul Selva testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, before the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing to consider the nomination of Selva for reappointment to the grade of general and to be Commander, United States Transportation Command. Officials on today, said President Barack Obama is tapping Selva to serve as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Marine general chosen Joint Chiefs chairman WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama is choosing a widely respected, combat-hardened commander who led the Afghanistan war coalition during a key transitional period during 2013-14 as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. U.S. officials say he is nominating Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr. to the post to succeed Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who will have served four years as chairman. Obama plans to make the announcement at the White House Tuesday, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly ahead of the announcement. Dunford is expected to be easily confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Dunford’s service as the commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps will be cut short after he began that job last October. But the rapid promotion is one of several that have marked Dunford’s fast-tracked military career, which saw him leap from a onestar general to four stars in about three years. Officials also said Obama is tapping Gen. Paul J. Selva, a top Air Force officer and pilot, to serve as vice chairman. Selva, who has clocked more than 3,100 hours piloting transport and refueling aircraft, is currently the head of U.S. Transportation Command at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. Dunford began his career as an infantry officer and has commanded at all levels. He served nearly two years in Iraq, including as head of the Marines’ 5th Regimental Combat Team during the 2003 invasion, where he earned the nickname “Fighting Joe.” He is well-connected internationally, often meeting with NATO and other coalition leaders, particularly during his Afghanistan command. His selection signals that even as the U.S. puts more focus on Asia and looks ahead to high-tech cyber and space threats, the administration still believes a strong ground force commander is needed to work through the ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and across the Middle East and Africa. If confirmed, Dunford would be only the second Marine to serve as chairman. Gen. Peter Pace, the first Marine chosen as chairman, served one two-year term from 2005 to 2007, but was not renominated by then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates because the Pentagon chief feared a long, difficult Senate hearing focusing on the sharp divisions over the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wouldn’t confirm the selection Monday, but he gave the choice a thumbsup ΓÇö a critical factor for an administration that doesn’t want to go through a drawn-out Senate confirmation process. Dunford’s most visible role came in 2013 when he was chosen to take over the job as top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan. During his 18 months there, Dunford oversaw the ongoing drawdown of U.S. troops, the transition to Afghan military lead in combat operations, and the tumultuous Afghan elections that dragged on and stalled efforts to reach an agreement on the U.S. military’s future presence in the country. He left Afghanistan last August, preparing to take on his new role as commandant. We’re online!

Ten of those weapons have since been recovered — nine of them in in New York. Mayor Bill de Blasio mourned Moore’s death. “He risked his life for a very simple notion — to keep everyone else safe, to keep our society safe, to keep order,” the mayor said at a news conference. “This is what he wanted to do.” Flags at police headquarters flew at half-staff. Moore is the first city officer to be killed on duty since two uniformed police officers were slain in December in Brooklyn. Officers Wenjian Liu, 32, and Rafael Ramos, 40, were shot at close range as they were sitting in their patrol car on Dec. 20. The gunman, 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, then ran into a nearby subway station and fatally shot himself. Before the ambush, Brinsley posted on an Instagram account that he was planning to shoot two “pigs” in retaliation for Eric Garner’s death in police chokehold. Clinton agrees to testify on Benghazi, emails WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is willing to testify once on Capitol Hill later this month about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and her email practices during her tenure as secretary of state, her attorney told lawmakers in a letter Monday. Lawyer David Kendall said the Democratic presidential candidate would appear for only one session the week of May 18 or later, not twice as requested by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the special panel investigating the September 2012 attacks that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, at the U.S. outpost in Libya. Gowdy had requested one hearing to focus on Clinton’s use of private emails, and a separate session on Benghazi.

But Brig. Gen. Saad Maan, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, denied during his appearance on state television that the Islamic State group had taken over major parts of the refinery, the country’s largest, as some Iraqi media reported. Aside from its commercial significance, Beiji is on the road to Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city and the main center of the Islamic State’s power in Iraq. If Iraqi forces hope to eventually take back Mosul, they have to secure Beiji — the scene of stubborn fighting for months. Ammar Hikmat, the deputy governor for Salahuddin province where the refinery is located, told The Associated Press that the troops holding the refinery have been battered since Monday by a wave of sui- cide bombings carried out by armored vehicles packed with explosives. The government has several times said the refinery was under control, but militants have repeatedly counterattacked. A spokesman for the provincial government, Adel alSamaraie, said militants are in control of at least half the refinery and are seeking to cut the main supply line to the embattled troops holding the rest. “They are advancing and taking over many areas,” al- Samaraie told The Associated Press in a phone interview, referring to the militants. Iraqi state television devoted an hour-long program Tuesday to assert that the refinery was still in government hands. Maan asserted that “it is impossible for the militants to take over the refinery.” In recent days, the Iraqi government has decried what it describes as a propaganda war by the Islamic State to exaggerate their advances. The extremist group, which has taken large parts of the north and west of the country, has issued statements online that it has control of most of the refinery. The Iraqi government said Tuesday that a joint force of federal police and militias, known as popular mobilization units, are working to clear the road to the refinery. Beiji is north of Tikrit, which was retaken by Iraqi forces last month. Reflecting the intensity of the fighting in the area, eight of the 22 airstrikes carried out Tuesday by U.S.-led coalition forces against the Islamic State were around Beiji. In Baghdad, a car bomb exploded in the central Karrada commercial area killing six people, according to police and medical officials. The area where the car exploded included restaurants, shops and a Sunni mosque. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Baghdad, especially Karrada, which is popular for families at night, has been pounded by car bombs over the last few weeks.

Nepal is one of the world’s poorest nations, and its economy, largely based on tourism, has been crippled by the earthquake, which left thousands dead. Nepali police dig bodies from village and trekking route KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescuers were digging Tuesday through thousands of tons of earth from a quake-triggered mudslide in Nepal that wiped out an entire village along a popular Himalayan trekking route and killed at least 60 people. Nine of the victims recovered in the Langtang Valley since the April 25 earthquake and mudslide were foreign trekkers, said Gautam Rimal, the top government official in the Rasuwa district. Villagers say as many as 200 people could have been killed. The valley and its little village of Langtang are about 60 kilometers (35 miles) north of Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. It was a popular stop for trekkers because of its scenic views of the Himalayas. “The entire village was wiped out by the mudslide. There were some 60 houses there, but they were all buried under rubble. It will be impossible to recover all the bodies,” Rimal said. The village is now about a twoday hike from the nearest town because the landslide has blocked area roads. While heli- copters allow easy access, they remain in short supply because of aid missions across the quake-affected parts of Nepal. The still-rising death toll from the quake, Nepal’s worst in more than 80 years, has reached more than 7,500. In Kathmandu, authorities say up to one-third of the city’s residents have left since the quake. In the first days, bus stations were jammed with people fearing aftershocks or trying to get home to relatives in devastated villages. Authorities do not know how many of those people have returned to the capital, but on Tuesday there were still people waiting for buses to leave. “I stayed back here to help out my neighbors and clean up the neighborhood,” said Surya Singh, who was at a large bus station. But now he wants to see the damage in his home village — though with many roads still blocked by landslides he was unsure if he could get all the way by bus. Kathmandu police say nearly 900,000 people have left in the past 10 days. The population of Kathmandu valley — including the city of Kathmandu and smaller towns of Lalitpur and Bhaktapur — is 2.5 million people. Life has been slowly returning to normal in Kathmandu. Schools are to remain closed until May 14 but some markets are open and trucks have been bringing in fresh food and vegetables every day. As the task of rebuilding looms for the impoverished nation, foreign aid is expected to play a big role. On Tuesday, USAID announced $11 million in aid for emergency shelter materials, medical supplies, safe drinking water, improved sanitation and hygiene kits for the most critical districts. The American aid agency’s acting administrator, Alfonso Lenhardt, is in Nepal visiting earthquake-hit areas. He said the additional aid brought the total U.S. commitment to about $26 million. Since the earthquake, the U.S. has sent several airplanes with relief materials and rescue workers. Save the Children: Dozens feared dead in migrant tragedy CATANIA, Sicily (AP) — The Save the Children aid group reported another Mediterranean migrant tragedy Tuesday, with survivors saying “dozens” of their fellow passengers fell out of their rubber boat and likely drowned as a rescue vessel neared. Save the Children’s Giovanna di Benedetto said the exact toll wasn’t known. But she said that survivors, in their first interviews with aid officials, reported that many people fell into the sea and couldn’t swim after their boat either deflated or experienced difficulty. The incident is believed to have occurred on Sunday in the sea between Libya and Sicily when a commercial vessel, the Zeran, approached the rubber boat to rescue the migrants. The survivors were brought to Catania on Tuesday. The weekend saw a dramatic increase in rescues as smugglers in Libya took advantage of calm seas and warm weather to send thousands of would-be refugees out into the Mediterranean in overloaded rubber boats and fishing vessels. The coast guard reported that nearly 7,000 people were rescued in the three days ending Sunday. The deaths come on top of the estimated 800 migrants who are believed to have drowned last month when their boat capsized off Libya with hundreds of passengers locked in the hold by smugglers. A few days earlier, a further 400 people were feared drowned in another capsizing. After the deaths, the European Union held an emergency summit and agreed to contribute more boats and patrol aircraft to Mediterranean rescue efforts. Even with the increased EU response, commercial cargo ships are increasingly being called on by Italy’s coast guard to respond to migrants in need, as required by the law of the sea. Catania prosecutor Giovanni Salvi complained last month that sometimes these commercial crews aren’t trained or equipped to conduct rescues and that lives can be lost when migrants suddenly shift places on their unseaworthy boats as they try to get off. Salvi later backtracked and praised the work and commitment of the commercial vessel King Jacob, which had come to the aid of the boat in which the 800 passengers were trapped in the hull and capsized during the rescue. In addition to commercial vessels, aid groups are pitching in: The Phoenix, a 130-foot refitted yacht, arrived in Pozzallo, Sicily, on Tuesday with 369 mostly Eritrean migrants who were rescued by the crew of the Migrant Offshore Aid Station. MOAS was founded in 2013 by a Maltese-based AmericanItalian family and now works with Italian search and rescue authorities to locate and provide first aid to migrants in need. The 20-member crew includes a team from Doctors Without Borders. The arrivals are stretching Italy’s already overtaxed migrant reception centers, with new arrivals being sent inland to be screened for asylum or in many cases, to continue on their journeys north unofficially. “We are about to reach the limit of our capacity to accommodate them,” said the Rev. Vincenzo Federico, director of the Caritas Catholic aid group in Salerno, where 652 migrants from Ghana, Nigeria and Gambia arrived on Tuesday aboard the Italian navy ship Bettica. Volunteers and medical personnel at the port donned medical garb to welcome the migrants because many are suffering from scabies. MOAS reported it also treated some migrants for injuries suffered during beatings and attacks — a reference to the violent treatment the migrants suffer in Libya at the hands of their smugglers. MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry made an unannounced trip to Somalia Tuesday in a show of solidarity with a government trying to defeat al-Qaida-allied militants and end decades of war in the African country. He is the first top U.S. diplomat ever to visit Somalia. Kerry arrived at Mogadishu’s airport shortly before noon local time, greeted by Somalia’s president and prime minister on the tarmac. He held a series of meetings that included both of them along with regional leaders and civil society groups, before flying back to Kenya a little more than three hours later. “More than 20 years ago, the United States was forced to pull back from your country,” Kerry said in a video address to the Somali people, invoking the “Black Hawk Down” debacle when Somali militiamen shot down two U.S. helicopters. “Now we are returning in collaboration with the international community and bearing high hopes but also mixed with ongoing concerns.” The trip was made under tight security conditions. Somalia’s government only found out a day ago that Kerry would join the State Department’s top Africa official, Linda Greenfield-Thomas, on the trip. And the fact that he was only dipping his toe in Somalia, and not venturing past the airport, highlighted just how dangerous and unstable the country remains. “The next time I come, we have to be able to just walk downtown,” Kerry told Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Downtown, Mohamud replied, “is very different now.” Top of the agenda was the fight against al-Shabab. African forces and U.S. drone strikes have crippled the organization’s leadership in recent years and left the extremists without much of the territory they once controlled or the cash flows needed to reverse their losses. But as al-Shabab has decentralized, the militants in some ways have become even more dangerous, expanding their activities in Kenya and other neighboring countries. Last month’s massacre at Kenya’s Garissa University College killed 148 people, mostly students, and underscored the group’s capacity to carry out relatively unsophisticated but extremely deadly terrorist attacks far from its bases of operations.
