Woman confined with polio yearns to see holiday lights

After 14 years basically
confined at home due to
polio, Alcoa native Joannie Mae Dean yearns to
see the Christmas lights
again,
Neighbor and former
elementary school classmate Willie Mae Hannum is trying to help
make that happen.
When Dean was a
young woman, she
recalls getting in her
car and driving around
to see area houses and

with multi-colored
lights and Christmas
characters like Santa,
Rudolph and Frosty.
However, as she ages,
the polio she contracted
when she was 4 years
old has progressed and
she relies more and
more on a wheelchair.
Dean lives in a house
at 123 Newcomen St.,
Alcoa, on the same lot
as the home where she
was born.
Four children of her
parents (James and
Alberta Dean) were
affected by the illness
in 1952. Brother George
Arthur, 6, died. Sister
Patricia, 11 months, and
brother James Boyd Jr., 7,
also contracted the disease, along with Dean.
Polio is a contagious
airborne viral illness
that in its most severe
form causes paralysis,
difficulty breathing and
sometimes death.
The disease has confined Dean to a wheelchair since age 11. As
she aged, the negative
aspects of polio became
more evident.
вЂњI have a lot of pain,вЂќ
Dean said. вЂњIt weakens
bones. You can break
your bones just turning over in bed. That
has not happened to me
yet. The older I get, the
more limited I am in
County Mayor Ed Mitchell
is looking outside the ranks
of the Blount County Commission to find a replacement for outgoing Blount
County Budget Committee member Commissioner
Steve Samples.
Mitchell confirmed Monday that he intends to submit community leader Sharon HannumвЂ™s name to the
Blount County Commission
in January as his choice to
replace Samples, who has
decided to step back after
serving on the panel for
more than 15 years in total.
вЂњIвЂ™m very honored at being
nominated and honored
that they think I could have
some positive contributions to add to that august
body,вЂќ Hannum said. вЂњItвЂ™s
an awesome responsibility
to serve on that particular board. I was shocked,
actually. I consider it to be
a huge honor and a huge
responsibility.вЂќ
Among its other financial
duties, the Budget Committee recommends yearly

Historian uncovers
photographs from
LouisvilleвЂ™s past
BY KELVIN RAY BOYD
Daily Times Correspondent
Louisville Mayor Tom
Bickers discussed a historical find and future
projects for the town at
the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen meeting held
Tuesday at Town Hall.
Louisville historian
Phil Mummert recently uncovered numerous
photos from LouisvilleвЂ™s
past. вЂњPhil discovered a
treasure trove of photos
taken by Tennessee Valley
Authority,вЂќ Bickers said.
TVA completed Fort
Loudoun Dam in September 1943. It took two weeks
for the river to come up
and cover an estimated
70 percent of Louisville.
The pictures discovered
show Louisville before the
flooding.
вЂњPeople kept noticing
images of Louisville before
the dam,вЂќ Bickers said.
вЂњWe didnвЂ™t know where
the pictures were coming
from. The images were
from the federal government in TVA archives.
вЂњWe are going to work
on a project concerning
the photos and preserving
LouisvilleвЂ™s history. We
are going to have some of
our elderly residents to sit
down with us and watch
(the big screen) as we go
through the images. We
hope our senior citizens
can identify the pictures,
as most of the people and
things in the images are

Middlesettlements Elementary serves families in вЂ�different waysвЂ™
BY MATTHEW STEWART
[email protected]
Middlesettlements Elementary
School is serving families in a different way this holiday season.
Staff and volunteers recently
hosted the schoolвЂ™s annual holiday
celebration. It is offered at no cost
to the school through a partnership
with St. Marks United Methodist
ChurchвЂ™s United Methodist Women unit.
Staff and volunteers served chili
and hot dogs to students and their
families. They provided families
with a new book and photos of
their children with Santa Claus.
Guidance counselor Thomas
Baxter also made hospitality bags,
which are filled with items such as
shampoo and soap, for each family invited to the event. Baxter purchased the items through St. Marks
United Methodist ChurchвЂ™s donations.
вЂњAs a school, we look to serve
families in different ways,вЂќ said
Principal April Herron. вЂњThe holidays are a time to bless others with
service, and itвЂ™s a nice heartwarming event that strengthens the
bonds between our school and our
families.вЂќ
Middlesettlements Elementary
School started organizing the holiday celebrations about five years
ago, Herron said. They have grown
the program each year through
donations and volunteers.
Staff made hospitality bags for 10
children in the programвЂ™s first year,
she said. They provided 25 bags
this year.
вЂњOur No. 1 priority is caring for
our students and their families,вЂќ
MIDDLESETTLEMENTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOLвЂ™S GABBY MEADOWS tells Santa Claus what
she wants for Christmas at last weekвЂ™s holiday celebration.
Herron said. вЂњWe want families to
partner with us. We want them to
feel more connected with teachers,
administrators and front office staff.
вЂњAcademic expectations are
so high nowadays that it would
be hard to reach them without a
strong school community. WeвЂ™re
fortunate to work with families that
are invested in our school. Invested
families are more likely to help students at home and communicate
with their parents. ItвЂ™s critical to
our mission: Providing excellence
to every child every day. WeвЂ™re
here to set them up for success in
elementary school, middle school,
high school and beyond.вЂќ

Tenn. joins multistate immigration suit
BY ERIK SCHELZIG
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE вЂ” Tennessee is joining a multistate lawsuit seeking to halt
President ObamaвЂ™s executive action
on immigration, state Attorney General Herbert Slatery said Monday.
Slatery notified the parties in the
lawsuit that Tennessee will become
the 25th state to join the legal challenge filed in federal court in Texas,
saying the state вЂњcannot sit on the
sidelines of this case, when unlawful
directives of this magnitude grant lawful presence and other rights like work
permits to such a large number.вЂќ
вЂњAsking a court to review this issue
Authorities fail in attempt to capture
loose black bear in Phoenix suburb
The Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. вЂ” Authorities called off
the search Monday for a black bear that
caused a stir when it was spotted running
through an alfalfa field on the eastern edge
of metropolitan Phoenix.
Still, officials plan to relocate the young
bear to a more suitable habitat if they come
across it in the future. вЂњThe best-case scenario is that we tranquilize it and move it,вЂќ
said Amy Burnett, a spokeswoman for the
Arizona Game and Fish Department.
The encounter in Mesa marks a rarity for
a metro area that officials say has a bear
sighting reported once every two years.
Phoenix and its suburbs are considered
a poor food source for bears.
TV news helicopters that captured vid-

is the prudent choice, especially when
state resources will be taxed under
the directives to provide benefits
like unemployment compensation
and health care,вЂќ Slatery said in a
statement.
Obama traveled to Nashville earlier this month to tout his decision to
extend deportation relief and work
permits to 4 million immigrants in the
U.S. illegally. His action would affect
those who have been here more than
five years and have children.
Stephanie Teatro, the co-executive
director of the Tennessee Immigrant
and Refugee Rights Coalition, called
the decision вЂњa step backwardвЂќ for
the state.
вЂњAn estimated 50,000 Tennesseans
will be able to apply for deferred
action, allowing them to work legally, increase their earnings, and pay
more in taxes,вЂќ Teatro said.
Slatery became TennesseeвЂ™s first
Republican attorney general since
Reconstruction when he took office
last month. His decision contrasts
with predecessor Bob CooperвЂ™s refusal to join a multistate lawsuit over
ObamaвЂ™s health care law, saying it
would вЂњnot have been a wise use of
state money.вЂќ
Cooper argued the only reason to
join the suit would have been вЂњto
make a partisan political statement
on a divisive national issue.вЂќ
FIND
eo of the bear running across rows of
green fields had helped push the animal
toward a game warden bearing a tranquilizer gun. The warden wasnвЂ™t able to get
a good shot.
In the end, the animal proved elusive. He
ran into a former General Motors test site
that contained fields, shrubbery and trees
and is too big of an area to track.
Wildlife officials cautioned that the bear
is a wild animal but also said that it wasnвЂ™t
acting aggressively. Instead, it was running away from people.
вЂњItвЂ™s not an aggressive bear. It seems to
want to run away from people, so thatвЂ™s
good,вЂќ said Mesa Police Department
spokesman Steve Flores.
It wasnвЂ™t known where the bear came
from or how long it has been in the area.

Seat belt saves Tallassee
woman when SUV rolls
From Staff Reports
A seat belt saved a Tallassee resident
from serious harm when her SUV
careened out of control and rolled
on Happy Valley Road Monday afternoon.
Mary Margaret Kelley, 52, Bell Branch
Road, Tallassee, was taken to University
of Tennessee Medical Center after the
accident. Her condition was unavailable Monday evening, although her
injuries were not believed to be lifethreatening.
According to Blount County SheriffвЂ™s
Office reports, Kelley was moving west
in the 5800 block of Happy Valley Road
in a 2004 Ford Explorer when she lost
control on a curve.
Reports said she ran off the right side
of the road, corrected, then veered off on
the left. Her vehicle rolled twice across
the oncoming lane of traffic and came
to rest on the left side of the road.
Blount County Fire Department Lieutenant Johnny Leatherwood said the
Explorer landed such that it hung over a
bank, one end perched on a stump; Kelley wasnвЂ™t pinned, but she was trapped
nonetheless.
вЂњIt was real unstable,вЂќ Leatherwood
said. вЂњWe had to stabilize it before we
could get her out.вЂќ
Kelley was wearing her seat belt, but
her airbag didnвЂ™t deploy, reports said.
вЂњIвЂ™m sure she would have been hurt
much worse if she hadnвЂ™t been wearing
it,вЂќ Leatherwood said.
Leatherwood said KelleyвЂ™s SUV was
likely totaled.
Momentum gaining to raise state
gas tax for first time in 25 years
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE вЂ” Momentum is mounting for a possible proposal to raise the
stateвЂ™s gas tax for the first
time in 25 years.
Gov. Bill Haslam told The
Tennessean that he thinks
a legislative proposal on
the issue is close, and could
be introduced in the next
General Assembly, which
convenes in January.
вЂњAt some point and time
soon, either this year or
next year, I think there will
be a bill about gas tax,вЂќ he
told The Tennessean editorial board.
вЂњItвЂ™s incumbent upon us
as the administration to
show hereвЂ™s what we would
do with that money if you
increased the fuel tax, and
then itвЂ™s also I think important for all of us not to just
increase it so that ... three
years from now weвЂ™re back
in the same position.вЂќ
The push comes as a
group representing 40
mayors in Middle Tennessee sent a letter urging
Haslam and state lawmakers to find new sources of
revenue to pay for transportation needs. Chambers
of commerce also are pushing the idea of increasing
the gas tax.
In addition, the Tennessee Farm Bureau no longer
lists opposition to a gas tax
increase as among its legislative priorities.
Still, the newspaper
reports any proposal to
increase the tax would
face hurdles and lacks
support from some state
Democrats.
Currently, residents
pay a total of 39.8 cents
tax on each gallon of gas
purchased вЂ” 21.4 cents is
state tax and 18.4 cents is
federal tax.
Haslam isnвЂ™t pushing for
an increase, but says the
issue must be addressed.
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey,
R-Blountville, has said he
might support an increase
as part of a larger comprehensive measure.

Thief returns stolen Habitat for Humanity trailer
BY MIKE GIBSON
[email protected]
Christmas is the season of peace on earth
and goodwill toward men, and apparently
that spirit spread to a local trailer thief.
Or maybe it was the proverbial fear of
God that made an unidentified man return
a purloined hydraulic trailer to MaryvilleвЂ™s
Habitat ReStore Sunday night.
Whatever the case, employees at the
store вЂ” a low-cost home improvement
store and donation center operated by the
nonprofit Habitat for Humanity вЂ” were
both heartened, and curious, when they
learned of the trailerвЂ™s return.
вЂњIt was definitely interesting,вЂќ said Assistant Manager Christina Jenkins. вЂњThe man

She said the man had first planned to
return the trailer last week, but he eventually decided to leave it late Sunday night in
the parking lot across the street from Habitat ReStore, near Faith Promise Church
and FowlerвЂ™s Furniture on North Foothills
Plaza Drive.
Store employees discovered the missing
trailer upon coming to work Monday morning. вЂњI think he decided it was best to do it
when no one was around,вЂќ Jenkins said.
The trailer, valued at $7,000, was on loan
to Habitat ReStore from Maryville resident Jorge Hernandez, a вЂњfriend of HabitatвЂќ who had allowed the charitable outfit to use his equipment to raise funds in
times past.
SEOUL, South Korea вЂ” Key North Korean websites were back online Tuesday after
an hours-long shutdown that followed a
U.S. vow to respond to a cyberattack on
Sony Pictures that Washington blames
on Pyongyang.
The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S.
government was responsible for the shutdown in one of the least-wired countries
in the world.
Internet access to the NorthвЂ™s official
Korean Central News Agency and the
Rodong Sinmun newspaper were working normally Tuesday after being earlier
inaccessible, South Korean officials said.
Those sites are the main channels for
official North Korea news, with servers
located abroad.
U.S. computer experts earlier said North
Korea experienced sweeping and progressively worse Internet outages. One said
the countryвЂ™s online access was вЂњtotally
down.вЂќ
President Barack Obama said Friday the
U.S. government expected to respond to
the Sony hack, which he described as an
expensive act of вЂњcyber vandalismвЂќ that
he blamed on North Korea. Obama did
not say how the U.S. might respond, and
it was not immediately clear if the Internet connectivity problems represented
the retribution.
The U.S. government regards its offensive cyber operations as highly classified.
North Korea has denied it was responsible for hacking into Sony. But the country has also called the attack a вЂњrighteous
deedвЂќ and for months condemned the
вЂњThe Interview.вЂќ Sony canceled plans to
release the movie after a group of hackers
made terroristic threats against theaters
that planned to show it.
North Korea has promoted the development of science and technology as a
means of improving its moribund economy. But access to the global Internet
is severely restricted. Mobile phones
used on the state-authorized network
cannot make overseas calls. The NorthвЂ™s
Intranet gives access to governmentsanctioned sites and works with its own
browsers, search engine and email programs, according to South KoreaвЂ™s Unification Ministry.

OUR VOICE
ItвЂ™s great to have
1/230th Air Cavalry
back in Tennessee
W
elcome home soldiers! WeвЂ™re proud of you!
Every one of the more than 70 members of 1st
Squadron, 230th Air Cavalry of the Tennessee Army
National Guard who were deployed this year to Afghanistan is home.
Most importantly, theyвЂ™re all back safe and sound. Another plus, their equipment made it back intact, too.
There was no guarantee of that back in February, when
members of the unit вЂ” most
are based in Alcoa, some in
Jackson вЂ” left Tennessee for
training at Fort Hood, Texas,
before heading for Afghanistan.
The mission, as outlined by
Lt. Col. Mel Clawson, commander of 1/230th Air Cav,
was to assist troops on the
ground. The No. 1 priority
was to protect the operating
base where the Tennessee troops were stationed. They
also provided combat security for units operating outside the base, Kandahar Airfield in southern Afghanistan.
HereвЂ™s the sad irony of the mission. This is not the first
time that the 1/230th deployed to the Middle East. Remember Iraq? Hard to forget that U.S. troops left that divided
nation at the behest of a corrupt and incompetent government with ISIS now on the march.
But this is likely be the last time the 1/230th is asked to
defend America from the sky. It certainly will be the last
time the unit will fly helicopters to complete its mission,
if the Department of Defense gets its way вЂ” as it certainly
will.
The Army plans to eliminate its entire fleet of OH58D Kiowa Reconnaissance helicopters, including those
assigned to the 1/230th.
Top Tennessee National Guard brass, along with the
governor and other elected state officials, have urged
the Army to replace the Kiowas with another helicopter.
The AH-64 Apache was a possibility, but the Army apparently has decided to assign all of those aircraft to the
active-duty force. Some Black Hawk helicopters could
be assigned to the Guard to replace much of the GuardвЂ™s
Lakota fleet that would be used for training by regular
Army soldiers.
But the chances of replacing the 1/230thвЂ™s Kiowas with
any other helicopter seem about as desolate as the rugged
terrain where the Tennessee soldiers have just finished
serving.
The Army had plans to develop an armed aerial scout to
serve as a new generation of reconnaissance helicopter
but вЂ” to use a clichГ© вЂ” that never got off the ground. So
the future of the 692 soldiers of the 1/230th and its 113 fulltime positions is вЂ” another clichГ© вЂ” up in the air.
It takes more than caissons rolling along to equip the
modern Army. It takes the skills and patriotism of AmericaвЂ™s civilian soldiers to maintain a 21st century, missionready combat force. It would be short-sighted to let the
professionalism and talent exemplified by the soldiers of
the 1/230th вЂ” who just completed a successful mission
in a war zone вЂ” go to waste. ThatвЂ™s no clichГ©. ThatвЂ™s just
common sense.
That said, we repeat: Welcome home soldiers! WeвЂ™re
proud of you! Have a Merry Christmas!
This is likely be the
last time the 1/230th
is asked to defend
America from the sky.

Overdue Purple Hearts
T
he victims of Maj. Nidal HasanвЂ™s terrorism-inspired
shooting rampage at Fort Hood five years ago wore
U.S. Army uniforms, but until now theyвЂ™ve been just
another group of workplace violence casualties.
ThatвЂ™s regrettable, because the people Hasan killed and
injured deserved Purple Hearts and the benefits that
accompany heroic sacrifice.
Thanks to the U.S. House and the leadership of Sen. John
Cornyn in the Senate, Congress has approved the belated
Purple Heart designation for the Fort Hood victims.
The provision is part of the 2015 defense authorization
bill, which the president is expected to sign. We salute the
sacrifices made at Fort Hood вЂ” and Congress for correcting this wrong.

A global conspiracy of health
I
n the category of stunning, heartening, woefully under-reported good news: In 2000, an
estimated 9.9 million children around the
world died before age 5. In 2013, the figure was
6.3 million. That is 3.6 million fewer deaths, even
as population increased by about 1 billion.
Shout it from the rooftops. Or, more topically, paste it to the posterior of a celebrity. Put
Dianne Feinstein in charge of keeping it a secret.
There are a variety of reasons for increased
child survival, including improved prevention
of malaria and HIV. But according to a recent
report in The Lancet,
about half of these gains
came from reductions
in pneumonia, diarrhea
and measles вЂ” diseases
addressed by vaccination. We are seeing the
continuation of what is
perhaps the single greatest scientific contribution to human wellbeing: the artificial preparation of the immune
system to ward off bacteria and viruses.
The provision of vaccines is a particularly
clear instance of what economists call a global
public good. A tetanus shot, for example, is a
very good thing for the individual getting it; he
or she doesnвЂ™t end up with lockjaw. But it is not,
strictly speaking, a public good. Only the treated person benefits. The broad provision of the
pneumococcal vaccine, in contrast, creates herd
immunity and reduces anti-microbial resistance. The circulation of pneumonia in children
is diminished, helping protect the elderly as
well. Once this public good is produced, everyone can enjoy it without reducing anyone elseвЂ™s
share.
What is exceptional about this particular public good is how much of it has been generated by
a single source. The Internet loves speculation
about shadowy, menacing global institutions вЂ”
the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission. But there is a little-known global institution
based in Geneva вЂ” Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance вЂ”
that supports vaccination for nearly 60 percent
of the worldвЂ™s children. It is a global conspiracy
of health.
Gavi provides heavy but eventually diminishing subsidies for immunizations in poor countries. It also acts as a sort of purchasing co-op,
helping nations get better prices on vaccines.
And it amounts to a guaranteed market for vaccines that would not otherwise be profitable to
research and produce.
The provision
of vaccines is a
particularly clear
instance of what
economists call
a global
public good.
This organization has gathered recent attention during the Ebola crisis. Two Ebola vaccines
are currently in testing and may be available
(God and the science willing) by the middle of
next year. Gavi is raising
funds (from governments
and development banks) to
purchase millions of doses.
Perhaps more importantly,
it guarantees a market for
the development of second-generation Ebola vaccines that will have a longer shelf life and work on a
broader variety of strains.
In addition, Gavi will help
Ebola-affected countries
play catch-up on other
childhood vaccinations
neglected during the crisis.
But the prospect is broader. Gavi has begun an
ambitious push to fund its next five-year period,
with the target to provide 2.7 billion vaccine doses that will immunize 300 million children. This
would prevent 5 million to 6 million deaths. The
outcomes of few other development interventions are so precisely measurable. Gavi has a 3
percent overhead rate. The results with a given
level of inputs can be specified with incredible
accuracy.
And this, in all likelihood, will be the highest
level of resources Gavi will ever need. The program requires even the poorest countries to pay
a portion of the cost of purchasing vaccines. Participating nations are then given five years to
take over the full cost вЂ” which they generally do
on schedule (barring coup or crisis). This graduation model means that during the next five-year
funding period вЂ” following the one currently
being planned вЂ” only 2.1 billion doses will be
required. And downward from there.
There is serious debate about the effectiveness of certain types of development assistance.
Advocates must be able to account for the lack
of economic results, say, from decades of foreign aid in Haiti. But the value of vaccination as
a global public good is hard to question. Gavi is
rigorous, dramatically effective вЂ” and temporary.
The Obama administration and other governments are in the process of determining their
commitments to Gavi. America is generally
hesitant to make large, multiyear development
pledges. This should be a big, bipartisan exception.

Jackie HillвЂ™s planters
are fully appreciated
Dear Editor;
Bravo to Ms. Jackie Hill and
the members of the HallOldfield communities! What
a delight to drive along Hall
Road through Alcoa and see
the beautiful seasonal planters along the intersections. The
individual planters that are
changed with each season are a
delight to see, but the beautiful
garden that was established in
memory of JackieвЂ™s mother is a
work of art.
The Christmas display is such
a wonderful treat, and I have
enjoyed taking my grandchildren by to see her handiwork.
corner of Montvale Station and
Sandy Springs roads was tastefully developed with a pavilion,
boardwalk, and explanation
plaques to display the effects of
nature.
However, nature took over
as trees began to grow in the
area and dry up the wetlands.
It was decided, apparently,
that natureвЂ™s trees must be cut
Carolyn Forster to return the land to its dis1046 Nina DeLozier Road play of nature (wink). So, with
Maryville, TN 37804 manвЂ™s help, maybe nature can
be trained to do what it is supposed to do. What a phenomInteresting phenomena

What a wonderful labor of love.
Thanks to Jackie and this
community for the years of
dedicated time and talent of
providing such lovely displays
that they have shared with all
those who pass through. You
are to be commended for your
giving spirits!
Sincerely,

Raising the barre
DARYL SULLIVAN | THE DAILY TIMES
NEIGHBORHOOD BARRE MARYVILLE is set to open in January. Free classes will be offered Jan. 3 and 4. The owner is Erin Keene, who has been dancing since the age of 2, and
teaches classes for Neighborhood Barre in Knoxville.
New exercise studio comes to Maryville
BY MELANIE TUCKER
[email protected]
A new business is coming
to downtown Maryville,
one that will definitely be
intriguing to those wanting
to change up their everyday workout routine.
Erin Keene, a native of
Knoxville whoвЂ™s been
dancing since the age of 2,
is opening Neighborhood
Barre Maryville in the
downtown space formerly
occupied by Masterpeace
Yoga.
Neighborhood Barre
started in Knoxville where
it now has two locations,
on Northshore Drive and
also Western Plaza. Another franchise just
opened in Birmingham with
another set to
open its doors in
Nashville soon.
A barre
workout,
Keene
explained,
combines

love about barre
classes. The elements of dance,
yoga and pilates
are combined into
one routine.
ments of dance, ballet,
yoga and pilates. Keene
started out in studio ballet
and jazz and then moved
into modern dance as she
got older. She has competed over the years and was a
studio art major at the University of Tennessee.
WORK IT OUT
вЂњWhat you do in the
workout is work your muscles to fatigue using isometric movements,вЂќ Keene
said. вЂњAt the end of each set
of movements you stretch,
which lengthens your muscles, giving you a dancerвЂ™s
physique. We work the
thighs, your seat, abs and
arms.вЂќ
The barre class lasts 55
minutes. Keene said this
is the only workout many
attendees do because
it combines so many
elements. Because the
movements are low
impact, barre is great
for all ages and levels of fitness.
вЂњIt is really easy
on your joints,вЂќ
this instructor
said.
вЂњIt is
really low
impact so
we have pregnant
women who are
able to participate
right up until their
ninth month. We
also have plenty of
people who have
had injuries due to
running, as well as
people with back problems
and knee issues.вЂќ
Keene said she can modify any of the movements to
accommodate these physical limitations.
ThatвЂ™s part of the reason
itвЂ™s become so popular in
вЂ�We have also had
quite a few athletes
who have injured
themselves and use
barre classes as a way
to help in their
recovery process since
it is so low impact and
safe on joints.вЂ™
Erin Keene
instructor at Neighborhood Barre
the last three years, she
said. That, and the fact the
classes are different each
time so attendees donвЂ™t get
bored and stay home.
WHO BENEFITS?
Athletes are a group that
can definitely benefit from
a barre workout, Keene
said.
The isometric movements are working smaller muscles that are not
typically worked in most
sports or in weight training
at the gym, she said.
вЂњOur classes also help
improve overall posture
and balance which will in
turn help athletes in their
sports/training,вЂќ Keen said.
вЂњWe have also had quite
a few athletes who have
injured themselves and
use barre classes as a way
to help in their recovery
process since it is so low
impact and safe on joints.вЂќ
Keene, who is 25 and the
mother of a preschooler,
said she hopes her downtown Maryville location will be appealing to

as well, Keene pointed out.
She has kept in shape
through dancing competitively, but doesnвЂ™t anymore.
ThatвЂ™s why Keene said she
initially got into barre as a
workout routine.
вЂњI wanted a workout that
is close to the dance technique I was used to,вЂќ she
said. вЂњI donвЂ™t like to run. I
love this.вЂќ
After taking classes, she
then started teaching at

Man on verge of divorce canвЂ™t seal the deal
DEAR ABBY: I am three years into
a relationship with Harold, a man
who is separated but not divorced.
We both have grown children. Harold was separated when we got
involved. He has since moved in
with me and is an active bill-paying member of the home.
I was also separated from a
brief marriage when we met, and
divorced shortly after we started
dating. My assumption was that
Harold would also be divorcing.
As of now, the paperwork remains
partially filled out, but no legal
proceedings have begun.
I hate this. I have talked to him
about it many times, so he knows
my feelings. IвЂ™m at the вЂњdo it or
leaveвЂќ point, but canвЂ™t seem to get
over the hump. I do not plan on
marrying вЂ” I just want him to be
divorced. What should I do? вЂ” LOOKING FOR LEGALITY IN WASHINGTON
DEAR LOOKING: When you became
involved with Harold, did he TELL
you he was planning on divorcing
his wife? There could be reasons
why he hasnвЂ™t gone through with
finalizing it. One of them could be
religious; another might be financial. A third, the fear that his relationship with his children вЂ” and
grandchildren, if there are any вЂ”
will be permanently damaged. Or,
that marrying you wasnвЂ™t his objective in the first place, and your
saying you didnвЂ™t want to remarry
made you more attractive to him.
If remarriage isnвЂ™t your goal,
why is his finalizing his divorce so
important to you? Before you issue
an ultimatum, itвЂ™s crucial that you
understand
the answer to
this question.
After that,
you will know
what вЂ” or
what not вЂ” to
do.
DEAR ABBY:
I have an
11-month-old
son. When
I was pregnant, I felt I had a great relationship with my mom. She seemed
excited about becoming a grandma for the first time, but once my
son was born she stayed away for
two weeks. When she finally came
over, it was only because she happened to be in town for a meeting.
When we met for lunch, she
seemed uncomfortable around the
baby. I feel hurt that she doesnвЂ™t
seem вЂњintoвЂќ him or being a grandma. IвЂ™m sad sheвЂ™s missing out on so
much, but I donвЂ™t know if I should
tell her how I feel. I donвЂ™t want
her to change only because I said
something. IвЂ™d like her to WANT
to visit.
DEAR
ABBY
Should I say something to her,
or let it be and continue feeling
resentment toward her? вЂ” DISAPPOINTED NEW MOM
DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Please try to
curb your resentment until after
you have discussed this with your
mother, which is necessary in light
of the fact that you have always
had a good relationship with her.
In the weeks after your son was
born, she may have been trying to
give you space and time to bond
with your newborn. She may also
be busy, or uncomfortable around
babies and toddlers who canвЂ™t yet
communicate. Believe it or not,
some people вЂ” even grandparents
вЂ” feel that way, although they are
hesitant to admit it.

Happy Holidays and a
Happy New Year!
Overseas holiday shopping easier
BY MAE ANDERSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK вЂ” This
holiday season, itвЂ™s almost
as simple to shop on the
other side of the world as
it is to buy from a store
down the block.
International online
payment services like AliPay and PayPal are trying to ensure that a South
Carolina fashionista can
buy a faux fur vest from
China with just a few
clicks on her computer
and a New Zealand biker
can use his smartphone
to pick up a rare part
from a Colorado company.
These services come
as shoppers and retail-
ers alike have a growing appetite to buy items
from any country, regardless of distance and regulations. In fact, a PayPal
report estimates that by
2018, about 130 million
shoppers will be spending over $300 billion a
year across the border, up
from $105 billion in 2013.
вЂњThe reality is pretty
much nothing in a store
is locally produced, so 99
percent of what youвЂ™re
buying is already a crossborder transaction. WeвЂ™re
cutting out the middleman,вЂќ said Anuj Nayar,
senior director of global initiatives at PayPal,
which is being spun off
by eBay Inc.
Companies are work-
ing on fixing the biggest
hurdles for international
shopping: The perception that it costs a lot and
takes a long time. TheyвЂ™re
handling the conversion
of currency behind-thescenes and giving shoppers the prices in their
own currency.
TheyвЂ™re including tariffs and customs duties
in the overall price of an
item. And theyвЂ™re being
transparent about shipping times and enabling
shoppers track packages
online.
Daniel McGaha, 24, a
youth and college minister from Greenwood, S.C.,
ordered a baseball jersey
for himself and some tassels for jewelry making
and a faux fur vest for
Christmas presents at
AliExpress.com, which is
owned by Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba.
McGaha was happy that
he got free shipping and
that he was able to track
his packages online.
Online retailers are benefiting from the interest in overseas shopping. About 25 percent
of PayPalвЂ™s transactions,
for example, are international, with about 2,000
cross-border transactions
per minute.
And some retailers that
work with PayPal have
opened warehouses in
countries like the U.S.
and U.K to keep up with
demand from overseas.
Christmas spirit
evident with recent
progams
A
fter finishing up
classes on Dec. 10,
the high school students of Blount Home
Education Association
ushered in the Christmas season with several
events.
As a special conclusion to the вЂњMonday
FunвЂќ enrichment classes
semester, several classes
showcased their work
on Monday, Dec. 8, at
the BHEA Christmas
Program.
The program, organized by Sara Martin,
included praise dancing,
clogging, sign language
and several show choir
pieces.
On Saturday, Dec.
13, BHEA teens ages
13-18 donned unsightly
Christmas sweaters and
brought tacky gifts for
the annual Ugly Christmas Sweater/White
Elephant Gift Exchange
Party.
In addition to the
sweater contest and
trading of silly gifts, the
group played several
festive games, sung carols and consumed many
holiday treats.
Finally, many teens put

Hermanto wins
Alcoa Middle School
spelling bee
T
he weeks preceding
Christmas break are
always busy at Alcoa
Middle School. The
schoolwide spelling bee
took place on Tuesday,
Dec. 9. Sarina Hermanto, who won the eighth
grade spelling bee, also
won the school bee with
the word вЂњobstreperousвЂќ.
This school bee included students from the
fifth, sixth, seventh, and
eighth grades.
Hermanto will be representing Alcoa Middle
School at the 2015 News
Sentinel Southern Appalachian Regional spelling bee at the University
of Tennessee on March
14, 2015. This includes
both a written test and
an oral bee.
As Alcoa has shown
many times before, it is a
school that cares greatly
about its music.
The middle school
band concert was held
on Monday, Dec. 8, in
the Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theater at the
Clayton Center for the
Arts on the Maryville
College campus.
The AMS chorus preformed at the Clayton
Center on Dec. 2. They
also performed at the
McGhee Tyson Airport.
In addition to music,
Alcoa Middle School
takes great pride in its
athletics.
The middle school
boys varsity basketball
team placed second at
Eagleton Middle School
in the Tip-Off Tourney.

Eighth-graders Joseph
Hendricks and Mikael

The boys junior varsity team, made up of
sixth- and seventhgraders, took first in the
Junior Varsity Jaycee
Tournament.
Despite all the good
things that have happened at Alcoa, sickness has been a major
problem throughout the
entire Alcoa school system.
The system took Friday, Dec. 12, off due to
an immense number of
illnesses, from the flu to
the stomach bug.
However, now that
break has begun, everyone seems to be recovering well.
School may be вЂњactionpacked,вЂќ but the students, teachers, and staff
are all ready and very

Bolshoi Ballet, Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet, National Ballet
of Czechoslovakia and more
companies of Russian Federation countries. The tours
were overtures for international peace and worldwide
cooperation, and it was
so well received that over
the next several decades,
the tours have featured
a number of internationally famous ballerinas. The
companyвЂ™s staging of the
classic tale follows classical composer TchaikovskyвЂ™s
complete вЂњNutcracker SuiteвЂќ
score, maintaining the classic tradition and storyline
in the п¬Ѓrst act but diversing
in the second, when Masha

travel to the Land Of Peace

visiting the Sugar Plum Fairy.

BRIEFS
NY mayor calls for
stall in protests until
after officer funerals
NEW YORK вЂ” New
York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio called Monday
for a pause in protests
over police conduct as
he faced a widening rift
with those in a grieving
force who accuse him
of creating a climate of
mistrust that contributed to the execution of
two officers.
вЂњI think itвЂ™s a time for
everyone to put aside
political debates, put
aside protests, put aside
all of the things that we
will talk about in all due
time,вЂќ de Blasio said in
a speech Monday at the
Police Athletic League.
De BlasioвЂ™s relations
with the cityвЂ™s police
unions have tumbled to
an extraordinary new
low in the aftermath
of SaturdayвЂ™s shooting
in which the gunman
claimed was retaliation
for the deaths of black
men at the hands of
white police.
Officers Wenjian Liu
and Rafael Ramos were
ambushed Saturday
afternoon by a 28-yearold who vowed in an
Instagram post that he
would put вЂњwings on
pigs.вЂќ The suspect, Ishmaaiyl Brinsley was
black; the slain New
York Police Department
officers were Hispanic
and Asian.
Teenager may have
died over shoe envy
CINCINNATI вЂ” A
mall shopper shot and
killed a 16-year-old boy
who attempted a robbery on the sidewalk
outside, possibly in pursuit of a pair of limitededition athletic shoes,
police in southwest
Ohio said Monday.
A Miami Township
police official said the
slain teenager and two
other youths went to
the Dayton Mall on Saturday morning for a
shoe sale, but the teens
apparently got there too
late to buy the shoes
they wanted.
Police said the three
juveniles from Middletown then approached
two men outside and
demanded their merchandise. They said one
juvenile showed a gun,
and one of the adults
who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon
then fired his own gun.
It wasnвЂ™t clear whether
the adults actually had
the shoes the youths
were seeking.
The Montgomery
County coronerвЂ™s office
identified the victim as
Jawaad Jabbar.
Ex-headmaster guilty
in child porn case
WILMINGTON, Del.
вЂ” The former headmaster of an elite Delaware
prep school faces at
least 50 years in prison
after being convicted
Monday of dealing in
child pornography.
Christopher Wheeler,
54, was found guilty on
all 25 counts. Wheeler
is a former headmaster
at Tower Hill school,
where he was paid more
than $300,000 a year and
where tuition exceeds
$25,000 a year. Graduates of the school, founded by members of the
du Pont family, include
DuPont Co. CEO Ellen
Kullman, U.S. Sen. Chris
Coons and television
personality Dr. Oz.
Wheeler waived his
right to a jury trial
after the judge denied a
defense motion to suppress evidence seized
by police.
The judge tentatively
set WheelerвЂ™s sentencing for March.

Pope targets Vatican bureaucrats
BY NICOLE WINFIELD
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY вЂ” To the
Catholic ChurchвЂ™s вЂњseven
deadly sins,вЂќ Pope Francis
has added the вЂњ15 ailments
of the Curia.вЂќ
Francis issued a blistering indictment of the Vatican bureaucracy Monday,
accusing the cardinals,
bishops and priests who
serve him of using their
Vatican careers to grab
power and wealth, of living вЂњhypocriticalвЂќ double
lives and forgetting that
theyвЂ™re supposed to be joyful men of God.
Francis turned the traditional, genteel exchange of
Christmas greetings into a
public dressing down of the
Curia, the central administration of the Holy See
which governs the 1.2-billion strong Catholic Church.
He made clear that his plans
for a radical reform of the
structures of church power
must be accompanied by
an even more radical spiritual reform of the men
involved.
Ticking off 15 вЂњailments of
the CuriaвЂќ one by one, Fran-
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A CHILD PRESENTS POPE FRANCIS with a drawing depicting a PopeвЂ™s
portrait and a writing which reads вЂњMerry Christmas,вЂќ during an
audience Monday with the Holy SeeвЂ™s employees in the Paul VI
hall at the Vatican.
cis urged the prelates sitting stone-faced before him
in the marbled Sala Clementina to use the Christmas season to repent and
atone and make the church
a healthier, holier place in
2015.
Vatican watchers said
they had never heard such
a powerful, violent speech
from a pope and suggested
that it was informed by the
results of a secret investigation ordered up by Emeritus
Pope Benedict XVI in the
aftermath of the 2012 leaks
of his papers.
Benedict tasked three
trusted cardinals to probe
deep into the VaticanвЂ™s
back-stabbing culture to
root out what would have
prompted a papal butler to
steal incriminating documents and leak them to a
journalist. Their report
is known only to the two
popes.
Francis had some zing-
ers: How the вЂњterrorism
of gossipвЂќ can вЂњkill the
reputation of our colleagues and brothers in
cold blood.вЂќ How cliques
can вЂњenslave their members and become a cancer
that threatens the harmony
of the bodyвЂќ and eventually kill it off by вЂњfriendly
fire.вЂќ How some suffer from
вЂњspiritual AlzheimerвЂ™s,вЂќ forgetting what drew them to
the priesthood in the first
place.
вЂњThe Curia is called on
to always improve itself
and grow in communion,
holiness and knowledge to
fulfill its mission,вЂќ Francis
said. вЂњBut even it, as any
human body, can suffer
from ailments, dysfunctions, illnesses.вЂќ
Francis, who is the first
Latin American pope and
never worked in the Italiandominated Curia before he
was elected, has not shied
from complaining about
the gossiping, careerism
and bureaucratic power
intrigues that afflict the
Holy See.
H i s 20 1 3 C h r i s t m a s
address cast a spotlight on
such sins.
British rocker Cocker dies of lung cancer at 70
BY DAVID BAUDER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK вЂ” Joe Cocker, the
raspy-voiced British singer known
for his frenzied cover of вЂњWith a
Little Help From My Friends,вЂќ the
teary ballad вЂњYou Are So BeautifulвЂќ
and a contorted performing style
uncannily parodied by John Belushi
on вЂњSaturday Night Live,вЂќ has died.
He was 70.
His London-based agent, Barrie
Marshall, said Cocker died Monday
of lung cancer in Colorado, where he
has lived for the past two decades.
Cocker, an interpreter more than a
writer, became a star through his dazzling transformation of the BeatlesвЂ™
вЂњWith a Little Help From My Friends.вЂќ
Featuring a gospel-styled arrange-
ment and furious call
and response between
Cocker and the backup singers, the song
became a No. 1 hit in
England and the highlight of his characteristically manic set at the
Joe
Woodstock festival in
Cocker
1969.
In a statement Monday, Paul McCartney remembered
hearing CockerвЂ™s cover of the song he
and John Lennon co-wrote for Ringo
Starr and finding it вЂњjust mind blowing,вЂќ a вЂњsoul anthem.вЂќ
вЂњI was forever grateful for him for
doing that,вЂќ McCartney said. вЂњI knew
him through the years as a good mate,
and I was so sad to hear that he had
been ill and really sad to hear today
that he had passed away.вЂќ
CockerвЂ™s вЂњMad Dogs & EnglishmenвЂќ tour and travelling party of
1970, featuring Leon Russell and
numerous top session musicians,
produced a film and a recording
that went gold. But future success
was more sporadic, and Cocker suffered from both drug and financial
problems.
He had a top 10 hit in 1975 on вЂњYou
Are So Beautiful,вЂќ his voice cracking
on the final, emotional note, and won
a Grammy Award in 1983 for his вЂњUp
Where We BelongвЂќ duet with Jennifer
Warnes, the theme of the movie вЂњAn
Officer and a Gentleman.вЂќ
Cocker is survived by his wife, Pam;
a brother; a stepdaughter and two
grandchildren. A private memorial
is planned.

I was a smart, cheerful child. When
my parents died, I was heartbroken. I cried,
not out of self-pity, but out of true love. One
of my tears dropped into the snow and froze to
make an ice marble. When I held it, it glowed
and took me to the North Pole. I met the elves
and they needed my help.
After I grew up with them I
took on the greatest task of
allвЂ”delivering presents.
The ice marble gave me
the
powers I have today.
Imagine you are a newspaper
reporter. What question would
you ask an elf, a Christmas
tree and a snowman? Write
your question, then write what
you think the answer might be.
I like whole
milk best, but Mrs. Claus
put me on a diet so I
have to drink non-fat.

Memphis tops BYU 55-48 in Miami Beach Bowl
Quarterback Lynch leads Tigers to overtime win
BY TIM REYNOLDS
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI вЂ” Paxton Lynch
accounted for seven touchdowns including a scoring
pass to Roderick Proctor in
the second overtime, Jake
Elliott made a 54-yard field
goal to force that extra session and Memphis topped
BYU 55-48 in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl on
Monday.
Lynch threw for four
scores and ran for three
more for Memphis (10-3),
in a game marred by a postgame brawl that involved
many players from both
teams after BYUвЂ™s Christian
Stewart was intercepted by
the TigersвЂ™ DaShaughn Terry on the final play.
The game was back-andforth, and that continued
вЂ” in ugly fashion вЂ” after
it ended. Players from both
teams spilled onto the field,
punches being thrown by
both sides as coaches from
Memphis and BYU tried to
break up the mess before
it got any worse.
вЂ�NOT WHO WE AREвЂ™
вЂњThatвЂ™s not who we are,вЂќ
Memphis coach Justin
Fuente said.
There was no immediate
word on any disciplinary
action from either team.
It was MemphisвЂ™ first bowl
triumph since 2005, and the
Tigers finished a season
with ten victories for the
first time since 1938.
Keiwone Malone caught
two touchdown passes for
the Tigers, including one
with 45 seconds left in regulation.
Stewart threw for 349
yards and three touchdowns for BYU (8-5).
Paul Lasike ran for two
scores and Zac Stout ran
back an interception for
another touchdown midway through the fourth
quarter for BYU, which
twice rallied from 10-point
deficits.
The Cougars were a play
away from winning twice,
but Lynch found Malone for
the tying score on 4th-and-4
from the BYU 5 late in regulation, then Elliott connected on his long field goal to
end the first overtime.
The teams combined for
four touchdowns in the
first eight minutes and
Memphis led 24-14 early in the second quarter,

вЂ�Turning a cornerвЂ™
Baulkman has big night; UT beats Mercer
BY DARGAN SOUTHARD
[email protected]
KNOXVILLE вЂ” Josh
Richardson remembers
the early days. And they
werenвЂ™t pretty.
вЂњAt the beginning of the
year,вЂќ Richardson said,
вЂњhe couldnвЂ™t hardly dribble without bobbling the
ball.вЂќ
A little more than a
month later, itвЂ™s safe to
say that Tennessee guard
Devon Baulkman has
mastered the dribbling
part.
Now itвЂ™s time to score.
And as top-scoring
options Richardson and
Kevin Punter limped their
way to just 17 total points
in MondayвЂ™s nonconference showdown with
Mercer вЂ” they averaged
27.5 combined coming in
вЂ” BaulkmanвЂ™s offensive
prowess became all but
a necessity.
The junior guard
poured in a team-high
22 points вЂ” a singlegame best for any Volunteer player this season вЂ” helping send UT
into the holiday reprieve
with a 64-54 win over
the Bears at ThompsonBoling Arena.
вЂњI just came into the
game positive and
focused,вЂќ Baulkman said.
вЂњJust on a mission.вЂќ
One the Vols (6-4) are
more than happy to see.
After producing just 14
total points in his first
six games this season,
the victory over Mercer
(6-6) marked his third
straight contest where
heвЂ™s churned out a double-digit scoring performance.
A solid portion of those
increased scoring figures have arrived via the
3-pointer as MondayвЂ™s
performance boosted
BaulkmanвЂ™s December
shooting numbers to 60
percent (9-for-15) from
beyond the arc.
вЂњHe was a scorer in
junior college вЂ” thatвЂ™s
what he did,вЂќ UT head
coach Donnie Tyndall
said. вЂњHe had a lot of big
games in a really good
junior college league.

Vols break for holiday
with Iowa in mind
BY PAUL FORTENBERRY
VolQuest.com Staff Writer
KNOXVILLE вЂ” With a
Tennessee team thatвЂ™s in
uncharted waters as the
Vols head to a bowl game
for the first time since the
2010 season, each week
brings new challenges and
new obstacles.
This weekвЂ™s obstacle
wonвЂ™t be on the field,
though. It comes in the
form of a four-day break
lasting from Monday afternoon until Saturday morning, the time when the
young Tennessee team will
spend its time with their
families and loved ones
during Christmas.
But for a team thatвЂ™s never been through this experience before, a month of
extra bowl practices split by
the Christmas holiday, Tennessee coach Butch Jones
said they have reminded
the squad to enjoy the
break, but remember the
business trip on the other
side.
вЂњYou constantly try and
educate them and they
have been in uncharted
waters, not just the entire
bowl preparation, but the
entire season,вЂќ Jones said.

his team that what they do

While BaulkmanвЂ™s previous mentions of anticipation and nervousness
may have been a red flag
at other programs, Tyndall believed his 6-foot5, 200-pound junior col-

a little time.
In fact, heвЂ™s basically
right on schedule.

college guys, it takes
about a semester,вЂќ Tyndall said. вЂњUsually these

KNOXVILLE вЂ” Ice Bears
head coach Mike Craigen
announced Monday the
team had traded defenseman Joe Tolles to Huntsville in exchange for forward Mitchell Good.
Mitchell Good (6-foot-1,
200 pounds) spent parts
of three seasons with the
Pensacola Ice Flyers, which
included two SPHL Championships.
The Wellesley, Ontario
native played four years at
Wilfrid Laurier University
in Canada prior to turning professional in 2013.
Recently, Good was traded
from Pensacola to Huntsville on Dec. 17.
вЂњWe had an opportunity
to add a player who will

В™=VkdXget Ice Bears
defenseman Joe Tolles
it was a necessary move
to make,вЂќ Craigen said in
a press release. вЂњMitchell
Good is a powerful forward
who should fit in very well
with our group. As usually
is the case with trades, you
have to give up a valuable
asset to get one in return
and Joe Tolles was the player required to get the deal
done.
вЂњJoe is as likable and genuine an athlete as IвЂ™ve
ever worked with and I
hope he finds some success with a great organization down the road in
Huntsville.вЂќ

the winner taking the AFC
North title.
Manning rallied the Broncos (11-4) to three touchdowns and a lead in the
third quarter, but ended
up with a season-high four
interceptions. The loss
gave home-field advantage
to New England throughout the playoffs. The AFC
West champions failed in
their attempt to clinch a
first-round bye.
MINNEAPOLIS вЂ” When the Minnesota Timberwolves walk into Quicken
Loans Arena on tonight to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will be staring their
former franchise player right in the face
for the first time since he was traded
last summer.
Kevin Love has moved on after six
frustrating seasons in Minnesota, and
Timberwolves president and coach Flip
Saunders said he harbors no grudges
against him for asking to be traded. But
Saunders canвЂ™t say the same for Timberwolves fans.
вЂњMinnesota people are pretty loyal.
You turn on Minnesota, they donвЂ™t forgive you,вЂќ Saunders said after practice
on Monday. вЂњSo I think people probably
appreciated him while he was here. But
you leave under the terms that he did, just
the way Minnesota people are, theyвЂ™re not
pretty forgiving along those lines.вЂќ
Love made three All-Star teams in six
seasons with the Wolves, including being
voted a starter last year. He worked tirelessly to change his body and improve
his game and became a pillar in the community by reaching out to fans and organizing a coat drive every winter.
But things started to sour in 2012 when
previous president of basketball operations David Kahn declined to offer him a
full, maximum five-year contract extension. An infuriated Love signed a four-year
deal with an opt-out after three seasons
and never forgave Kahn or Timberwolves
owner Glen Taylor for the slight.
Saunders replaced Kahn in 2013 and spent
all last season trying to convince Love to
stay. But the damage was already done.
вЂњHe was pretty much set in stone the
minute he got his four-year contract,вЂќ
Saunders said. вЂњAt least thatвЂ™s what he
says.вЂќ
Love wanted to play for a winner after
six straight seasons of missing the playoffs.
When LeBron James decided to return
home to Cleveland, the Cavaliers engaged
in a deal that sent the No. 1 overall picks
from the two previous drafts вЂ” Andrew
Wiggins and Anthony Bennett вЂ” to Minnesota team Love with James and Kyrie
Irving in a formidable new trio of stars.
The Wolves also received Thaddeus
Young from Philadelphia in the threeteam deal and were determined to use a
mixture of veterans and dynamic youngsters to try to at least equal the 40 victories they had last year in LoveвЂ™s final
season. But the teamвЂ™s three best players вЂ” Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and
Kevin Martin вЂ” have played in 23 combined games due to injuries. So the young
Wolves (5-21) have sunk to the bottom
of the Western Conference.
Wiggins has shown flashes of jaw-dropping ability on both ends of the court
and is the front-runner for rookie of the
year now that MilwaukeeвЂ™s Jabari Parker
is out with a knee injury. But he has also
frustrated Saunders at times with inconsistent effort in games, and the coach is
trying to coax higher energy out of the
prized piece of the Love haul.
вЂњOur young guys have probably hit the
wall a little bit with the way our scheduleвЂ™s been and how much theyвЂ™ve had to
play and the responsibility theyвЂ™ve had
to play with,вЂќ Saunders said. вЂњTheyвЂ™re
probably as mentally drained as they
are physically.вЂќ
The Cavaliers have been mostly healthy,
but are having their own issues. At 16-10
and fifth in the lackluster Eastern Conference, they have not jelled as quickly as
anticipated under first-year head coach
David Blatt. LoveвЂ™s averages of 16.8 points,
10.5 rebounds and 12.5 shots per game are
his lowest since his second year in the
league as he gets used to life as a supporting actor in JamesвЂ™ movie.

Baulkman, defense spark UT over Mercer 64-54
Tennessee overcomes early deficit to win
going away in NCAA tournament rematch
BY STEVE MEGARGEE
AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE вЂ” Devon
Baulkman scored a careerhigh 22 points off the bench
Monday as Tennessee held
Mercer without a basket
for an 11-minute stretch in
the VolunteersвЂ™ 64-54 victory.
After trailing 13-8 with
9:49 left until halftime,
Tennessee (6-4) ended the
first half on a 19-2 run and
scored the first basket of
the second half to grab a
14-point advantage.
Mercer (6-6) cut the
margin to four later in the
second half, but Baulkman
scored seven points in a
10-1 run that sealed the victory. Baulkman, a juniorcollege transfer, hadnвЂ™t
scored more than 10 points
in a game all season before
Monday.
Ike Nwamu scored a
career-high 30 points and
shot 6 of 11 from 3-point
range for Mercer.
This early-season matchup pitted two teams who
faced each other in the last
two postseasons. Tennessee beat Mercer 83-63 in
last yearвЂ™s NCAA tournament after losing to the
Bears 75-67 in the 2013
NIT.
Both teams have changed
quite a bit since their last
meeting. Tennessee guard
Josh Richardson was the
only player on the floor
Monday who started in
last seasonвЂ™s NCAA tournament matchup. The
Vols also have changed
coaches since then, with
Donnie Tyndall arriving
from Southern Mississippi
after California hired away
Cuonzo Martin.
After relying on second-half surges for much
of the season, Tennessee
grabbed a halftime lead for
just the second time in 10
games because of MercerвЂ™s
inability to give Nwamu
any help.
Nwamu made 4 of 8 shots
for 11 points in the first half.
His teammates were 0 of 14
for two points.
The game turned on one
sequence late in the half.
Tennessee led 19-15 with
1:19 left in the first half when
Willie Carmichael scored
inside and drew a foul. A
technical foul was called
on MercerвЂ™s bench immediately after the play, and
Richardson made the two
ensuing free throws. When
Armani Moore converted
a putback off CarmichaelвЂ™s
missed free throw, Tennessee had scored six points
off one possession.
Mercer trailed 29-15
before Darious Moten sank
a jumper with 18:45 left, a
play that marked the BearsвЂ™
first basket by someone
other than Nwamu.
Mercer clawed back from
there and had reduced
the deficit to 43-39 when
Richardson was fouled
with 7:44 remaining.
Richardson made the first
free throw, and when he
missed the second shot,
CarmichaelвЂ™s offensive
rebound led to a Baulkman 3-pointer.
Baulkman later converted a layup off a steal and
provided a putback to get
the Vols back up by double
digits.
TIP INS
M e rc e r : T h e B e a r s
entered the night having made at least seven
3-pointers in four straight
games.
Tennessee: The Vols started their seventh different
lineup in 10 games. Freshman guard Detrick Mostella made his first career
start alongside Richardson,
Kevin Punter, Moore and
Carmichael.

вЂњHe can score with anybody. ItвЂ™s good to see his
hard work start paying
off.вЂќ
But before that could
begin, Baulkman вЂ” like
many collegiate athletes вЂ”
was forced to sidestep an
early injury, which initially
kept him in street clothes
during practice and glued
to the UT bench during
games.

Navy, San Diego State set to run in Poinsettia Bowl
BY BERNIE WILSON
AP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO вЂ” Navy
is back in a Navy town,
ready to take on San Diego
State in whatвЂ™s essentially
another home game for the
Aztecs.
And Rocky Long will be
in his element during Tuesday nightвЂ™s Poinsettia Bowl
at Qualcomm Stadium.
As a quarterback at New
Mexico, Long ran a tripleoption offense. As San
Diego StateвЂ™s defensiveminded coach, heвЂ™ll use
his 3-3-5 alignment to try
to stop junior quarterback
Keenan Reynolds and the
rest of the Midshipmen.
вЂњIf youвЂ™re a football purist
this will be the best football
game you have ever seen,вЂќ
Long said Monday.
вЂњItвЂ™s the best offense
ever designed,вЂќ Long
added. вЂњVeer, wishbone
вЂ” there are about six different options they have
off that.
I have no idea how to
stop it. You can stop it on
the grease board. Now itвЂ™s
about execution.
вЂ�вЂ™We do know how to line
up. But what it comes down
to is if we can handle it as
a team.вЂќ
Navy leads the nation
with 345.1 yards rushing
per game and San Diego
StateвЂ™s defense allows 145.6
yards rushing.
The Midshipmen will
have their hands full, too.
San Diego State sophomore
Donnel Pumphrey has 1,755
yards, needing 88 to break
SDSUвЂ™s single-season rushing record of 1,842 set by
George Jones in 1995. Pumphrey ranks fourth in the
nation with 146.25 yards
rushing per game.
home and have some good
time with our families, but
also think about football
while we are there.вЂќ
Throughout the season
TennesseeвЂ™s young team
showed maturity beyond
its years and it seems to be
showing that at this time
of year as well.
Sophomore cornerback
Cameron Sutton noted
that the team leaders
plan to take responsibility of making sure the
team returns from the
break ready to get back
to work.
вЂњThe leaders are constantly talking to guys at
their position, even guys
outside their position, just
making sure guys are doing
the right things вЂ” taking
care of their bodies, eating
right, getting the rest and
recovery they need leading up to the bowl game,вЂќ
Sutton explained.
вЂњWe monitor each other
and we monitor ourselves.
This is a bond and a family
and a brotherhood and we
take care of each other.вЂќ
If that isnвЂ™t enough, Jones
added that the coaching
staff will be reminded
throughout the early part
of the week.
вЂњTheyвЂ™ll get constant
reminders,вЂќ Jones said.
вЂњTheyвЂ™ve done a great job
and it leads me to believe
theyвЂ™ll be mature when
they go home as well. But,
theyвЂ™ll have some constant
reminders.вЂќ

ThereвЂ™s no doubt Tennessee is excited about
playing in its first bowl
in years, but theyвЂ™re also
excited to see their families for a few days to clear
their minds before getting a chance to finish
the season with a winning record.
вЂњLast time I went home

Barnett said. вЂњI canвЂ™t

Following a missed free
throw from Richardson, Willie Carmichael
snatched away the offensive rebound and located
a wide-open Baulkman,
who knocked down one
of his four 3-pointers on
the evening.
The play sparked a personal 7-0 run, where Baulkman single-handedly morphed UTвЂ™s teetering 5-point
lead back into a comfortable 11-point advantage
with 5:33 remaining.
вЂњDevonвЂ™s a guy IвЂ™ve

Marshall, N. Illinois to play

WILFREDO LEE | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEMPHIS WIDE RECEIVER KEIWONE MALONE (RIGHT) celebrates a touchdown pass with quarterback
Paxton Lynch during the first half of the in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl against Brigham
Young Monday in Miami.
MEMPHIS: BYU comes back but loses in OT
FROM 1B
before BYU rallied with
two scores in the final 4:55
to take a 28-24 lead at intermission.
Memphis opened the
second half with a 13-play,
71-yard march capped
by LynchвЂ™s third rushing score of the day to
reclaim the lead, and the
Tigers extended the edge
to 38-28 after Alan Cross
caught a 17-yard pass from
Lynch with 3:45 left in the
third.
But back came BYU again,
with a field goal from Trevor Samson and вЂ” after the
Cougars stripped the ensuing return away from MemphisвЂ™ Joe Craig for a fumble
вЂ” LasikeвЂ™s second touch-
down tied it at 38-all with
10:52 left.
StoutвЂ™s interception
return for a score came
three minutes later, stepping in front of a pass from
Lynch at the Memphis 18
and going untouched into
the end zone.
The Tigers, though, had
the final answer in the
game.

BOCA RATON, Fla. вЂ”
Marshall quarterback
Rakeem Cato took a
knee when he learned the
Thundering Herd were
bound for the inaugural
Boca Raton Bowl.
And then he said a prayer
of thanks.
вЂњItвЂ™s a huge blessing, and
not only for me,вЂќ Cato said
on the eve of tonightвЂ™s
game against Northern
Illinois. вЂњWe have 30-plus
guys on our team from
Florida.вЂќ
Ten Northern Illinois
players hail from the Sunshine State. For the Floridians, the game means a
chance to finish the season in front of lots of family and friends.
Cato, for example, said
the crowd will include
more than 20 of his relatives and dozens of friends
from his native Miami.
вЂњItвЂ™ll be a lot вЂ” sisters,
brothers, coaches, pastors,
my daughter, my grandfather, my cousins,вЂќ he said.
вЂњEverybody.вЂќ
Cato threw for 3,622
yards and 37 touchdowns
to lead Marshall (12-1) to
its first Conference USA
title. Northern Illinois (112) won the Mid-American
Conference for the third
time in four years, and
reached the 11-win mark
for the fifth season in a
row.
Here are things to know
regarding the matchup of
league champions:
В› HOMECOMING: C a t o
will play his final college game less than an
hour up Interstate 95
from his hometown. He
has thrown at least one
touchdown pass in each
of his past 45 games, a
Football Bowl Subdivision record.
вЂњHe can run it, he can
throw it, he can run the
offense and he makes the
players around him bet-
Rakeem Cato
Marshall quarterback
ter,вЂќ Northern Illinois
coach Rod Carey said.
вЂњThose are pretty much
all the qualities you look
for in a great quarterback.
I donвЂ™t know that you can
stop him. I think you can
try to do some things to
slow him down and confuse him, but then again
heвЂ™s a senior and has seen
it all.вЂќ
Cato broke numerous
school records set by Marshall predecessors Chad
Pennington and Byron
Leftwich.
вЂњNow he has won a championship, and he can be
talked about in the same
breath as the other two,вЂќ
coach Doc Holliday said.
вЂњIвЂ™m glad heвЂ™s our quarterback.вЂќ
В›RECRUITING TOOL: Both
programs want to keep
their Florida pipeline
going, and the bowl game
will help with recruiting,
despite restrictions on
contact with prospects
at this time of year, Carey said.
вЂњPeople can come see the
game, but you canвЂ™t talk to
them,вЂќ the Huskies coach
said. вЂњIt has been weird.
But itвЂ™s good. I think we
have a great name down
here, and itвЂ™s important
just to keep our name out
there.вЂќ
The Huskies played
in the Orange Bowl two
years, losing to Florida
State.
В› FINISH LINE: For the first
time, Northern Illinois
senior tackle Tyler Loos
will take the field in the
yearвЂ™s final game.
LoosвЂ™ first three seasons
were curtailed by serious
leg injuries. Last year, after
he broke his left leg and
dislocated his ankle, he
wasnвЂ™t sure whether he
would play again.
вЂњIвЂ™ve had a rough time,вЂќ
Loos said. вЂњI thought
about calling it quits,
but I decided to come
back, and IвЂ™m really glad
I did. I got to play in my
first MAC championship,
and now my first bowl
game.вЂќ
Carey said heвЂ™s proud of
Loos and happy for him.
вЂњI canвЂ™t talk about it a
whole lot. I get a little
too emotional,вЂќ the coach
said. вЂњBut heвЂ™s a big reason
weвЂ™re playing as well as
we are.вЂќ
В› IN THE TRENCHES: Loos
and rest of Northern IllinoisвЂ™ offensive line has 166
career starts, while MarshallвЂ™s defensive line has
totaled 154 games. Both
groups are talented.
вЂњThatвЂ™s where the game
is going to be won,вЂќ Carey said.
Marshall totaled 35 sacks
to rank 28th in the country.
Northern Illinois allowed
only 13.
В› SCHNELLENBERGERвЂ™S
VISION: The game will be
played in Florida AtlanticвЂ™s
stadium, which delights
Howard Schnellenberger. He was hired in 1998
to start the FAU program
and oversaw the fundraising campaign to build the
stadium.
вЂњWhat I was talking
about at the very beginning, about football in
paradise with a stadium on campus, all those
things have come together so wonderfully,вЂќ Schnellenberger said. вЂњAnd
to have a bowl game of
this quality, people can
say, вЂ�Oh my gosh, coach
knew what he was talking about.вЂќвЂ™
Daily Bridge Club
Seeing isnвЂ™t believing
By FRANK STEWART
Tribune Content Agency
Cy the Cynic says that for every
kid who believes in Santa Claus,
there is an adult who believes in pro
wrestling.
One reason for CyвЂ™s cynicism is
that he constantly falls victim to
deceptive plays. As West, Cy led a
club against four hearts, and South
had a problem to wrestle with. He
saw what might happen if he took the
jack and led a trump. Cy would win
and, knowing the club position, lead
another club. East might ruff, lead a
diamond to CyвЂ™s ace and ruff another
club. Down one at least.
ANSWER: No direct heart raise is
descriptive. A raise to three hearts
would (or might, depending on your
system) invite game but would
suggest better support. Your best
action is a вЂњnegative doubleвЂќ (similar
to NorthвЂ™s in todayвЂ™s deal) to show
values and a spade suit. You can
support the hearts later.

SECOND CLUB
So South won the first club with
the KING and led a trump. Cy saw no
cause to lead a second club when
East clearly had the jack left. Cy tried
underleading his ace of diamonds,
but South put up dummyвЂ™s king, drew
trumps and lost a spade finesse. He
later threw his jack of clubs on a high
spade in dummy вЂ” as the Cynic
turned purple. Making four.
вЂњCanвЂ™t believe everything you see,
much less hear,вЂќ Cy growled.
SouthвЂ™s ruse might not have
worked but had nothing to lose.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2014:
This year you will note a considerable difference in your priorities.
You no longer will sit on situations until you obtain the results
you desire. You will keep your eye
on the big picture. If some area
of your life has not been working,
you might want to consider letting it go.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
в�…в�…в�…в�… Take charge. Today
might be the last day for a while
that youвЂ™ll have enough cooperation from others. You might note
that you have not heard from
someone at a distance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
в�…в�…в�…в�…в�… Start making calls to
those at a distance to wish them a
Merry Christmas. You might feel as
if you have less resistance from a
loved one than in the recent past.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
в�…в�…в�…в�…в�… Deal with someone
directly. You could be in a situation
where you want to change some
part of your life. Your creativity
surges as you seek answers.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
в�…в�…в�…в�… You could be changing
your focus because of the impending arrival of Christmas, and perhaps also because of a slight difference in a loved oneвЂ™s attitude.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
в�…в�…в�…в�… What has weighed you
down in the past will no longer be
a problem. On some level, you will
feel as if you have been freed up.
You also might notice a change
in how you deal with others, and
vice versa.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
в�…в�…в�… You might need to slow
down some. Doing so will put you
in a lighter mood, especially if you
have a discussion about how to
proceed in the next few days.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
в�…в�…в�…в�… You could be overwhelmed by a change of pace.
Communication seems to take
on a more intense quality than in
the past.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
в�…в�…в�…в�… Use the daytime hours
to make calls, deliver presents and
do whatever is a high priority. As
the planets shift, you will be more
jubilant and feel freer than you
have in quite some time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21)
в�…в�…в�…в�… Clear out as much
as you can tonight, because by
tomorrow, you will feel as if you
have had enough. Understand
what is going on with a child or
loved one. Also, note what is happening within your circle of friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
в�…в�…в�…в�… Use the daylight hours
to the max. You will accomplish
a lot more than you had thought
possible and still have time to
visit. Give up being so detailed at
this point, and get into the swing
of the moment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
в�…в�…в�…в�… YouвЂ™ll race around with
so much to do that you could
feel overwhelmed and worn out.
Decide on a cutoff point so you
can relax and let go of having to
run around.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
в�…в�…в�…в�… You know what you
want to do -- just know that
youвЂ™ll have a limited number of
hours to do it. Understand what is
happening within a special
relationship.

China indicts ChanвЂ™s
son on drug charge
BEIJING вЂ” Chinese
prosecutors on Monday indicted the son of
Hong Kong action film
star Jackie Chan on the
charge of
sheltering
others to
use drugs,
more
than four
months
after
he was
Jaycee
detained.
Chan
If convicted,
singer-actor Jaycee
Chan could be jailed for
up to three years.
Chan, 32, was among
a string of celebrities
detained over the summer for vices such as
drug use and hiring
prostitutes, as Beijing
vowed to clean up social
morals.
ChanвЂ™s case has been
particularly embarrassing for his more famous
father, who was named
by Beijing as an anti-drug
ambassador in 2009.
Beijing police detained
the younger Chan at his
Beijing apartment in
August along with Taiwanese movie star Ko
Kai. Police said Chan
and Ko both tested positive for marijuana and
admitted using the drug,
and that 100 grams of it
were taken from ChanвЂ™s
home.
Brokaw reports news
good on his cancer
NEW YORK вЂ” Tom
Brokaw says his cancer
is in remission.
The veteran NBC
newsman announced
Sunday that, after
months of chemotherapy, he soon will begin a
drug maintenance program.
Sharing with colleagues what he called
вЂњvery encouraging
news,вЂќ BrokawвЂ™s internal memo noted that a
year ago his future was
вЂњmore uncertain than I
cared to acknowledge.вЂќ
Last February, he
