For most of her life, Kaitlyn Laczko imagined motherhood as something waiting for her in the future.

She remembers being in kindergarten when her teacher asked what she wanted to be when she grew up. Kaitlyn’s answer was simple: a mom.

Inside a sound-treated booth at Chattanooga’s Speech & Hearing Center, Dr. Hailey Long can determine not only how much hearing a person has lost but also when a hearing aid is no longer enough.

The testing is more involved than a standard hearing exam. Patients listen while wearing a hearing aid or another form of amplification and are asked to identify speech under increasingly difficult conditions. In effect, Long is trying to determine how much help the hearing aid still provides.

For years, a vacant building at the corner of Alton Park Boulevard and 38th Street offered a less-than-encouraging advertisement for investment in South Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly says he remembers a large “free rent” sign posted outside the property – and the fact that even that offer wasn’t enough to fill it.

We’re all familiar with the phrase “freedom is not free.” This often-repeated phrase reminds us that the many freedoms we enjoy in the United States – the most individual freedoms possessed by any citizens in the world – only came about because generations before us paid a price, and in some instances the ultimate price.

Dolly Parton, the country music icon whose soaring vibrato vocals, poignant songwriting and sparkling costumes defined her rise from a log cabin in the Tennessee mountains to the height of stardom and acclaim, has died. She was 80 years old.

Urban Story Ventures is planning a $350 million retail and residential district at the Bend, a major addition to the developer’s 120-plus-acre redevelopment of Chattanooga’s riverfront.

Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and could be completed by fall 2028, depending on the pace of preleasing, according to Urban Story Ventures.

In its simplest form, saving can mean putting money into a jar, adding to it and letting it grow slowly. A 401(k) or other workplace retirement plan is a step beyond that. It’s more like a garden than a jar. Once you understand the basics of your 401(k), it becomes easier to feel confident in your decisions.

What did you want to be when you grew up? You might have listed three or four possibilities: policeman, doctor, farmer or a soldier, ballerina, teacher or acrobat. 

You were sure they could all happen, simultaneously, happily. And then you grew up and where did that dreamer-you go? Read “How to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up” by Julian Shapiro-Barnum and find that kid inside you again.

In their only primetime appearance this season, the entire country got to see the Tennessee Titans secondary get schooled in a blown communication between Kevin Winston and Alontae Taylor. The result: an easy 36-yard touchdown pass from Seattle Seahawks backup QB Drew Lock to Elijah Arroyo.

Buying a used car can be a smart money move. During a typical ownership cycle, the cost of a used vehicle is usually significantly lower than buying or leasing a new car. 

Choose one that’s only a few years old, and it will likely have relatively low miles and plenty of reliable years ahead at a nicer price than getting a new vehicle. You can save even more by selecting a fuel-efficient hybrid model known for reliability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military is experiencing a "beyond critical" shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump's war with Iran, a U.S. defense official in Europe and a NATO official told The Associated Press, raising concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Donald Trump launched the war with Iran in late February, he initially forecast it would last four weeks to five weeks.

El Ninos are more than 36% stronger than they were before the industrial age began in the mid 1800s, with a 16% jump in just the last 40 years showing that the increase is accelerating, according to a study in Thursday's journal Science. The findings come as a strong El Nino that formed a couple months ago is forecast to be the biggest on record in coming months. El Ninos, which are a temporary warming of parts of the equatorial Pacific, warp weather worldwide and increase extreme events, including heat waves, floods in some places and droughts in others. They can cost trillions in damage.

Tourists have been barred from staying at lodges and hotels inside the park.

Scientists with the Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy Vermont spent the summer injecting 6,000 young elm trees with Dutch elm disease spores to test their resistance to the disease.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers on the Strait of Hormuz in their first military action in a month on Sunday, breaking a lull in fighting during an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months.

NEW YORK (AP) — As the U.S. and Israel relentlessly bombed Iran in the opening days of war, the most dramatic predictions of the conflict's toll were unsparing: surging oil prices, worldwide recession and economic catastrophe.

But six months into the conflict, the direst predictions haven't come true even if no corner of the world's economy has been untouched.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Besides a social media post from President Donald Trump, the White House has said little about what he is calling "THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY" in Venezuela.

Trump said the agreement announced Friday night would give the United States a stake in Venezuela's vast oil reserves, a step toward his goal of extracting energy from the country after American forces captured then-President Nicolás Maduro in a middle-of-the-night raid in January and brought him to New York to face federal drug trafficking charges.

The Tennessee Volunteers will be honoring Dolly Parton with a helmet sticker this season, coach Josh Heupel announced on Monday.

Parton, a Tennessee native, died on Tuesday, Aug. 25 after a brief battle with cancer. She was 80.

MILLINOCKET, Maine (AP) — More than 14 million older adults fall every year in the U.S., perhaps none so often as 91-year-old Dale Sanders.

By his count, Sanders fell 71 times while reclaiming his record as the oldest hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail. Six were what he calls hard falls, including one that led to a brief hospitalization and another just 200 yards from the finish. But none were enough to permanently divert him from the 2,193-mile (3,530-kilometer) trail that runs between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine.

Cooling from air conditioning saves lives — more than 5,000 a year in the United States alone — but it also heats up the planet and taxes our electrical grid, scientists say.

As the world warms, heat waves strike nearly every continent and United Nations officials estimate that about half a million people die a year from heat, air conditioning is needed and being used more than ever. A study in Nature Health reported Monday that air conditioning saved nearly 58,000 lives between 2010 and 2020 in the U.S. Air conditioning use is skyrocketing around the world, with electricity demand from cooling expected to triple, according to the International Energy Agency and the United Nations Environment Programme.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran fired on U.S. allies in the Gulf early Wednesday following a night of American bombardment that Iranian officials say included a deadly strike on a wedding party.
