Belle Island auction fails to draw even a single bid

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — It took about 40 minutes for attorney Bruce Bailey to read the required legal information for the foreclosure sale of Belle Island Village, and then about a minute to realize none of the dozens of onlookers were going to offer a bid.

As he finished reciting the required legal disclaimers, Bailey announced that Regions Bank and the other banks that had foreclosed were offering a credit bid of $23.9 million and asked for other bids. Although about three dozen people had gathered outside the Sevier County Courthouse for the auction, none offered a bid.

With that, Regions Bank and the other investment banks took ownership of the beleaguered retail and entertainment project. Neither Bailey nor an executive from Regions Bank would comment on what the banks might do.

The credit bid is typically a bid from lenders to obtain payment for at least part of the remaining amount they are owed.

Attorney Bruce Bailey reads the conditions of the Belle Island Village auction to the assembled, but bidder less crowd.

“It needs to be completed and it will be a wonderful asset to the community.”

— Project manager Glen Bilbo

After the initial auction, a second auction for a hotel planned by another company, BIV Hospitality, yielded a similar result.

With no other bidders, the lenders purchased the property with a credit bid of $5.8 million.

Project manager Glen Bilbo said he hopes the purchase will lead to the

completion of the project as planned. Construction on the buildings was almost finished last year when the project began facing financial difficulties.

SEVIERVILLE — David Bennett could only watch Monday’s auction for Belle Island Village and hope that it would eventually result in good news for his company, All Star Painting.

Bennett is one of many local contractors who are owed money for work on the project. Construction was almost finished on most of the buildings in the retail and entertainment complex when the developers announced it had run into financial difficulties.

They ordered work to stop, and they didn’t make some payments for labor or materials. In fact, during Monday’s auctions, attorneys announced that some property purchased by subcontractors remains unused and sitting on the Belle Island property.

Several contractors have filed complaints in federal court saying they haven’t been paid, and many more filed liens against the property in attempts to get their money back. It wasn’t clear what Monday’s auction meant for Bennett or the other contractors. The only bids offered were credit bids from the lenders, and representatives of those firms declined to comment on what they hope to do with the property.

“Everything I’ve got is in Belle Island,” Bennett said.

“If they don’t pay me, I’ll go under, too.”

Bennett said he is still owed about $186,000 for work on the project. “All the painting on that island, I did it,” he said.

When rumors first surfaced that there could be financial problems for the developers, he continued in the See CONTRACTOR, Page A4

Nazarene church hopes fund-raisers can make it happen

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer First Smoky Mountain Church of the Nazarene is raising money for a permanent home.

In the meantime, Pastor Owen Wetzel said he hopes people looking for a church will go ahead and come by, and judge his church by more than its nontraditional location.

The church is currently in suites at 2652 Upper Middle Creek Road, beside Dunn’s Market. “Too many people workshop what the looks like and not what’s in the church,� he said. The church, he said, is the body of believers — not a building.

He is quick to credit the owners of the property they’re leasing, and many others who have helped them since they started the church last year. They’ve gotten help with a sound system, appliances and items for their nursery and youth ministry. “Basically the only thing we’re paying for is our rent and lights, so we’ve been blessed,� he said. “The

Wetzel and his wife, Pat, moved to the area to start the ministry. They’d been on several trips down here, he said, and had learned that there wasn’t a Nazarene church in the area. Members of their church had been driving to other counties

for church services, he said.

They’re proud of how they’ve grown so far, filling up most of the suites in the building and expanding from eight members when they started to 40 now. Eventually, though, they hope to move into a building of their own somewhere in the same vicinity.

They held a yard sale to raise money Friday and Saturday, and will be holding more fund raisers until they have the money they need to build or move into a building of their own. “We don’t know where we’re going to go yet, but God does,� Wetzel said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Debate over ditch continues to rage in Pigeon Forge

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — City Commission members got an earful from a resident who has been pleading for help for more than two years about a drainage problem on his property, while in the same meeting reapproving a city ordinance that may give them a way to begin addressing the concerns.

Glen Murphy has attended a majority of the commission’s meetings over the last two years.

Nearly every time he’s been there, he’s asked the group to consider ways it can help keep water moving through the ditch that serves as the only drainage for several city streets near his home. “I don’t understand why I can’t get anything done,� Murphy said. “I’m a taxpayer. I’m a resident. It’s just like beating a dead horse. Everybody’s turned a deaf ear to me. It’s been more than two years now. It’s like talking to a wall.�

Murphy accused commission-

ers of only working in the interests of the city, not those of the residents, leading to a tense though somewhat humorous exchange between him and Vice Mayor Kevin McClure. “Everything we’re doing is for the citizens. We offer a lot of things to our citizens, like trash pick-up,� McClure said, pointing out most residents only pay a few dollars a month in taxes. “If it won’t hurt the city, stop and I’ll take it to the trash dump.

I’d rather have that ditch cleaned out,� Murphy said.

The gully cuts away from NW Circle Drive at the front of Murphy’s property and wanders back behind his home before running through adjacent yards on its way to the Little Pigeon River. Murphy has presented the commission with pictures of water standing in the ditch, something he says happens fairly regularly, in part because his neighbor has built a shed that impedes the flow through the area.

Though city leaders have asked

for permission to dredge out the ditch from nearby property owners, they haven’t been granted it from all of them. That, they say, means they can’t address the issue, though they’re looking at the possibility of approaching the problem from behind.

The homeowners association in the River Pointe subdivision, which sits on the other side of the ditch, has given permission for the city to access the gully from their property.

Murphy has pushed city leaders for action on the shed, something they’ve refused to pursue while dismissing the issue as simply a neighbor dispute.

However, it seems the matter could potentially be more based on the city’s flood ordinance, which was re-approved on first reading during Monday’s commission meeting.

That document states that accessory structures, such as garages and sheds, “shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to offer the minimum resistance of floodwaters.�

Though the ordinance the group

OKed this week is a revised version of the city’s existing one, the document has always required a provision that no structures impede the flow of floodwaters, a regulation required for participation in the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program.

According to maps kept by the Sevier County tax assessor’s office, the ditch is actually classified as a stream because it has water in it so often, serves as drainage for a large area and carries water to the river in the event of flooding rains. If it is determined that is, by government standards, what’s called a blue-line waterway and that the shed is impeding its flow, Murphy’s neighbor could be subject to misdemeanor charges and a fine under the flood ordinance.

When questioned on the matter by The Mountain Press Monday, City attorney Jim Gass said officials had not yet considered the possibility of forcing the property owner to move the shed based on the flood ordinance,

Sobering study

One in 10 binge drinkers gets behind the wheel

By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer ATLANTA — One in 10 binge drinkers got behind the wheel the last time they drank heavily. And half of those drivers left from a bar, restaurant or nightclub after downing five or more drinks, a new study has found.

The study is being called the first to try to measure the likelihood someone will drive after binge drinking. It suggests a need for stepped-up efforts to prevent bars and restaurants from serving people after they’re intoxicated, according to its authors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The researchers focused on 14,000 “binge drinkers “ — people who said that at least once month that they had five or more drinks on a single occasion. About 12 percent said they had gone driving within two hours of their last bout of heavy drinking.

Of those drivers, more than half took the wheel after drinking in a bar, restaurant or other licensed establishment. And half of the drivers who left an establish-

ment said they had seven or more drinks; a quarter said they’d had at least 10.

Some people can handle alcohol better than others, and eating food or drinking over several hours can soften alcohol’s impact. But clearly 10 drinks is a lot, said James Fell of the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, a national research organization focused on alcohol policy.

“Almost everybody’s going to be intoxicated after 10 drinks,” said Fell, who was not involved in the study.

Binge drinking is a main factor behind the more than 11,000 deaths annually from alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, said Dr. Timothy Naimi, an epidemiologist with the CDC’s alcohol program.

He led the study, which was released Tuesday and will be in the October issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Nearly every state has a law that in theory prohibits licensed establishments from selling alcohol to drunk patrons. But most states don’t have enough enforcement personnel to stop in on bars and watch for over-serving of customers.

“These are among the most disregarded

laws in the country,” Naimi said.

Without policing, there’s little incentive for bars, clubs and restaurants to discourage drinking. Tips depend on keeping patrons happy and buying, noted Jim Mosher, a Washington, D.C.-based legal researcher and consultant on alcohol issues.

The American Beverage Institute, a restaurant trade association, had no immediate comment on the study Monday. The organization’s Web site promotes efforts to apprehend and penalize drunk drivers, but also notes voluntary server training and other efforts by restaurants to discourage drunk driving.

The CDC study was based on a telephone survey done in 2003 and 2004, and some things have changed since then. Drunk driving fatalities have decreased, dropping nearly 10 percent from 2007 to 2008, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

There have also been a variety of efforts to reduce drunk driving including court-mandated devices that prevent a car from starting if a driver is drunk.

“There are a lot of other opportunities for those who want to use the park for recreational activities on Wednesday,” Gray said.

“There are a lot of options that will still be accessible.

This shouldn’t prevent visitors from enjoying the national park.”

The anniversary event itself is being billed as a rededication of the park, with the more than 500,000 acres first dedicated to the people of America by President Franklin Roosevelt.

Though the sitting president won’t attend, among those expected in addition to Parton and Salazar are senators, representatives and the governors from North Carolina and Tennessee, as well as a host of local officials.

park visitors.

“There probably will be some people who aren’t aware the road or the trails are going to be closed, but it has been covered very well by the local news media,” Gray said.

To lessen the potential for disgruntled vacationers, park officials are doing everything they can to inform the public

about the closures and the alternative routes. Lighted signs will be in place along Interstate 40 to let motorists know that route will be the quickest way to get from Gatlinburg to Cherokee on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, park rangers stationed at the gates have been directed to not only tell folks looking to pass through the park via

tion of carnival-style rides, and multiple shops and restaurants.

Bilbo maintained Monday, as he has since the financial problems became public, that the project was a victim of the downturn in the economy, specifically of the downfall of the company that was set to be the takeout lender. Countrywide Lending was set to take over the notes once construction was finished, but the firm collapsed during last year’s banking crisis.

“(That) started a domino effect that brought us here today,” Bilbo said.

He said the attractions are still involved with the project and ready to move ahead. If a decision could be reached within the next few weeks, he said the project could be ready to open by March 2010.

It isn’t clear what any plans could mean for the area subcontractors that are still awaiting payment for some or all of their work.

Three of the companies that

worked on the projects have filed complaints to get their money back; others had filed liens against the property.

While Bilbo was still speaking as project manager for the project, it will up to the banks or whoever purchases the projects from the banks to decide whether he or any of the other original parties remain involved with Belle Island.

and other contractors were ordered to cease work and leave the property, he said.

He’s paid his employees for the work done on the project, he said, even for work that Belle Island didn’t pay his company.

He’s taken a loan out on his house to cover costs, and if he doesn’t receive payment from Belle Island, he will have to start selling equipment to pay his own debt incurred as a result of the project.

He’s filed a lien against

the property, but said he hasn’t filed a lawsuit — yet.

“If I have to file for bankruptcy and lose everything, then I’ll file one,” he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — As the roaring wall of flame raged through the Angeles National Forest, firefighters Ted Hall and Arnie Quinones worked feverishly to protect their fire-crew camp, made up mostly of prison inmates.

But all too suddenly, the fire invaded the campsite. Hall and Quinones shepherded 55 inmates and several corrections and fire personnel into a cinderblock dining hall to shelter them from the blaze.

The fire burned through the camp, leaving it in ruins. The dining hall provided adequate shelter for now, but Hall and Quinones knew they had to get everyone to safety. So they jumped in an engine truck and left

replacement. State lawmakers considering the change plan a hearing on it next week.

Within days of Edward Kennedy’s death, jockeying for the first open Senate seat in Massachusetts in 25 years intensified.

Democrats who might run are Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, and Reps. Stephen Lynch, Michael Capuano and Edward Markey. Former Rep. Martin Meehan, now chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, has $4.8 million in his federal campaign account, the largest sum of any potential candidates.

There have been few clues about Kennedy’s plans and he has declined comment through his spokesman, Brian O’Connor. Kennedy family sources have indicated that Victoria Kennedy is not interested in running.

Patrick said Monday that she told him she does not want to be appointed as an interim replacement either.

Before he died last week, Edward Kennedy had asked Massachusetts lawmakers to change state law to let the governor name an interim appointee to serve until voters can choose a permanent

respect from all over the country,� said veteran Democratic strategist Dan Payne. “He wouldn’t be human and he wouldn’t be a Kennedy if he didn’t give serious consideration to running for what is known as the ’Kennedy seat’ in Massachusetts.�

Kennedy would be an early favorite if he decides to run, likely discouraging other Democrats who might be reluctant to oppose a Kennedy so close to the senator’s death. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick on Monday set a date of Jan. 19 for a special election to fill Kennedy’s seat. The primary

to search for an escape route down Mount Gleason.

It proved a fatal move.

Smoke blanketed a winding road that is perilous in the best of conditions. The truck careened off the blacktop, tumbling as it plunged 800 feet down the steep mountainside.

The vehicle crashed upside down, killing the two men.

The fire they had tried to outrun quickly caught up to them and left the truck a scorched hulk — a reminder that death lives in the shadows of firefighting.

Quinones, 35, leaves behind a pregnant wife who is due to give birth to the couple’s first child in the next few weeks. Hall, 47, had a wife

and two adult sons.

The deaths, the second and third of firefighters in the line of duty in California this year, have shaken the ranks of men and women battling the 105,000-acre fire. Morale is dim and the mood somber. “It hits home,� said Los Angeles Fire Capt. Sam Padilla. “This morning my daughter hugged me a little tighter than usual.�

The department is sending a crisis management team to the camps that worked closely with Hall and Quinones in the Air and Wildland Division, and will hold a memorial service later this week at the firefighters’ staging camp.

There are lessons from Mexico for next wave of swine flu Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:07 PM EDT

NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico is preparing for a second wave of swine flu, looking at what worked and what didn’t last spring when it banned everything from dining out to attending school in an effort to control the virus.

As the Northern Hemisphere flu season begins, the rest of the world is also studying Mexico’s experience, looking for measures to replicate and costly mistakes to avoid.

So what worked? Public awareness; rapid diagnosis, treatment and quarantine; and a near-compulsive outbreak of hand-washing.

What didn’t? Travel bans, school closures, overuse of antibiotics and those flimsy paper face masks that tangled hair, slid down necks and hid the beautiful smiles of this gargantuan city.

When swine flu first flared up in Mexico in April, the government erred on the side of caution, closing schools and museums, banning public gatherings, playing soccer games to empty stadiums and telling people not to shake hands or kiss one another on the cheek. This bustling city of 18 million became eerily hollow.

Hurricane stronger, heads for Los Cabos LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Extremely dangerous Hurricane Jimena roared toward Mexico’s resort-studded Baja California Peninsula on Monday, prompting emergency workers to set up makeshift shelters and chasing away an international finance conference.

Jimena is just short of Category 5 status — the top danger rating for a hurricane — and could rake the harsh desert region fringed with picturesque beaches and fishing villages as a major storm by Tuesday evening, forecasters said. Heavy bands of intermittent rain moved across the resort town of Los Cabos on Monday evening.

Workers at the Cabo San Lucas marina nailed sheets of plywood on storefront windows while fishermen secured their boats ahead of Jimena.

Mexican health officials say they made the right call. “Since we were the first country affected by the flu, we didn’t know the possible magnitude and severity, so we took measures that we now know can be (focused),� said Dr. Pablo Kuri, the health secretary’s special influenza adviser.

In hindsight, Mexico’s most effective action — one now emulated around the world — was immediately telling its own citizens when the new virus was detected.

Not every country has been so candid when facing an epidemic: China was heavily criticized for its slow response to SARS in 2003, while Argentina refused to declare a national public health emergency when swine flu flared there in July.

But Mexico’s openness didn’t come cheap: Economists say the outbreak cost the country billions of dollars, mostly in losses from tourism. “Mexico shared information early and frequently,� said Dr. Jon Andrus at the Pan American Health Organization’s headquarters in Washington. “Mexico did this at great cost to its economy, but

it was the right thing to do.�

At the height of the epidemic in March, you could hardly make it a block in Mexico City without a masked public health worker, maitre d’, bus driver or store owner squeezing a dollop of antiseptic gel onto your hands.

Health experts say hand-washing offered the best defense — while the masks probably did little to stop the virus from spreading. Masks are now advised only for health care workers and people who are already infected.

Fear also left behind a cleaner city: Crews now regularly scrub subways and buses, park benches and offices — something almost unheard of before the epidemic. “Clearly, millions of Mexicanos wore masks this spring everywhere they went, but H1N1 continued to spread,� said Laurie Garrett, a senior fellow at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations. “It now seems clear that the best personal protections are regular hand-washing, avoiding crowded places, and — when it is available — vaccination.�

Many Mexicans wait until they suf-

fer full-blown symptoms before going to a doctor, if at all. Often, people selfdiagnose and go to a pharmacy to treat themselves since few drugs require a prescription. Since April, however, certain anti-flu drugs are distributed only at hospitals.

Millions of uniformed Mexican children were greeted with a dash of antibacterial gel as they returned to school last Monday. Classes were postponed until mid-September in southern Chiapas state because of an uptick in swine flu cases in the past month. Chiapas has had 3,400 swine flu cases to date, the most in the country.

Schools nationwide are checking for possible signs of swine flu among children and teachers and are sending home anyone who seems sick. They also have added new curriculum guidelines to ensure children learn about personal hygiene and basic sanitation.

But this time, schools will be closed only if so many sick children or teachers get sick that education is compromised.

Plans are already under way to continue lessons at home.

Sexual assaults may be linked MARTIN (AP) — Law enforcement officials in West Tennessee are investigating a series of home invasions and sexual assaults on women that may be linked.

Since June, two women were attacked in Martin, one woman in Memphis and one woman in Cordova.

A third assault on a woman in Martin was reported Sunday.

John Mehr, a special agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, told The Jackson Sun that the man in the latest assault was wearing a mask similar

to the one described in earlier attacks.

The suspect is described as a large white male with thinning hair and a large stomach.

“We are asking people to be aware of what is going on in their community,” Mehr said. “If they saw something unusual or out of the ordinary, give us a call. Write down any tag numbers to vehicles that seem suspicious, and report them.”

Mehr has said authorities have not been able to connect the cases with DNA evidence, but the attacks

Kristin Helm, a TBI spokeswoman, said Monday that investigators are still leaving open the possibility that one person may not have committed all of the crimes.

About two weeks ago, officials released a sketch of the suspect’s face after witnesses told investigators they saw the man after one of the attacks.

The first assault occurred at a Cordova apartment building on June 27, when a woman was sexu-

About a month later, a woman in Martin was sexually assaulted in her apartment by a man armed with a black automatic pistol.

Authorities said the next two attacks occurred Aug. 5. Early in the morning, Memphis police said a woman was sexually assaulted by a man who broke into her apartment.

Later that same day, Martin police said a woman was at home when she was attacked by a man wearing a mask and armed with a black pistol.

Celebrities in the news n Paula Abdul

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paula Abdul is back in the judge’s seat — but not on the “American Idol” stage.

Abdul cameos in Lifetime’s “ D r o p Dead Diva” as a gavelbanging, glammedup version of herself Abdul in a dream sequence set in a Los Angeles courtroom. In the over-the-top scene, the former “Idol” judge dispenses oh-so-fabulous justice in the form of a vocal and fashion critique to Jane (played by Brooke Elliott), a plus-size lawyer possessed by a skinny model.

“Jane, you bring it with your voice, but you lose it with your choice,” Abdul declares.

At one point in her scene from the Sept. 13 episode, “Judge Paula” rises from the bench to reveal her “belted and bedazzled” ensemble — a chunky belt and glittery skirt below a flowing top crafted from a black judge’s robe.

commentary

Conservative thinking is at the front Conservatives are on a roll.

A huge negative reaction to liberal Democrats’ overreach may well push the Republican Party to victory in 2010.

What then? Ah, there is the rub.

When modern conservatism started, it had big dreams: rolling back government, lowering tax rates, defeating communism, strengthening the traditional family, de-funding the left, pulling back the Supreme Court.

Well, two out of six is not bad.

What is the heart of the thing that conservatives care about now? We had better be ready to answer that question before 2010.

I cannot speak for a movement, but as for me, I am a conservative because I believe in one core unshakable truth: Every human being is made in the image of God. Because we are made in the image of our Creator, creation (and not consumption) is the core of a truly human life. Human beings are makers.

We make babies. We make families.

We make friends. We make communities. We invent products and processes; we discover new scientific truths. We make movies, blogs, stories and paint pictures. We create new businesses and even whole business enterprises.

And it all begins with an individual and his (or her!) dream.

A few months ago I spoke to an eye surgeon who has turned his basement into a design studio for new medical inventions. He eagerly told me about a new invention for closing cosmetic surgery wounds that combines the control and finesse of hand-stiching with the ease of a conventional surgical stapler. Will it work? I don’t know.

But I do know that not every human society is full of doctors you’ve never heard of eagerly tinkering with new machines in their basements. There’s something enormously special and valuable and unique about American culture.

It doesn’t just happen. It needs to be respected and protected, or it can and will disappear.

A free market is intensely valuable to me not primarily because it makes us all richer and able to consume more — but because it creates a world where talent, initiative, productivity, hard work and creativity are unleashed and encouraged. Entrepreneurs, artists, scientists and philanthropists are close kin. They all dream of things that never were and ask, “Why not?” Then they roll up their sleeves to make something new happen.

I spent a week in Europe in July.

Reading the papers was an incredibly depressing experience. Every story about human troubles ended with a call for government to act to solve the problem.

The collective impression is a political culture of angry but entitled begging.

Ugly.

I do not know if the American experiment will continue to create a real alternative to the culture of democratic socialism (and surely there are far worse systems of government than Europe’s).

The unique American synthesis that produced modern conservatism is breaking down, in part, because the productivity of the few turns out to be so much more important than the productivity of the many. Crony capitalism, where business leaders make faux money by buying politicians instead of supporting free markets, is a growing threat. The incentives and structure that help us sustain family life turn out to be different from those that help us make art or new businesses.

The cultural conditions that foster a creative class and that foster the creation of people may in fact have begun to diverge in fundamental new ways.

Politics is emotional because people are rational. Your single vote, your phone call, your $10 donation can’t change much by itself. For most Americans, most of the time, politics is mostly an expressive act. We vote our values to prove to ourselves that they (and we!) exist.

Values matter, but voters are most intensely motivated when our values and our interests are both threatened. That is the tsunami President Obama threatens to unleash.

Editorial

Making it official Wednesday’s Park ceremony highlights a remarkable 75th anniversary year Wednesday’s rededication ceremony for Great Smoky Mountains National Park should be really something. It is attracting virtually every political leader from Tennessee and North Carolina, as well as entertainer Dolly Parton and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

The event commemorates President Roosevelt’s 1940 visit to the Smokies to officially dedicate the establishment of the national park. The Park had already been created in 1934, but there is nothing quite like attracting a president of the United States to do it right. Roosevelt’s motorcade from Knoxville through Gatlinburg to Newfound Gap has been well documented, and some of those who witnesses it have told their stories this year as the Park observes its 75th anniversary. Some of those witnesses

may attend Wednesday’s ceremony.

The general public won’t have much of a chance to see it in person.

Because of the limited space available at the Tennessee-North Carolina line at Newfound Gap, only around 2,000 citizens other than invited guests will be able to attend the event. Of course not many people got to see the president’s address that year either.

To accommodate the crowd and preserve some level of security and safety, the park is closing Highway 441 through the mountains starting tonight. Some trails and Park attractions also won’t be accessible because of the ceremony, It’s unfortunate, but necessary. A 75th birthday only comes along once in a while, after all, and when the party’s at a site with limited access and room, you gotta do what you gotta do.

The anniversary observance probably has had a lot to do with the Park’s high attendance marks this year.

Attendance is up, especially through Sugarlands. That has translated into an uptick in business for those people whose livelihoods depend upon tourism and visitors.

There is much to celebrate about Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It remains the nation’s most visited national park, and for good reason.

This week culminates most of the official ceremony related to the 75th birthday. Park officials have done a wonderful job promoting and planning all of the activities related to the anniversary. They’ll be stepping it up this week, hoping to make Wednesday’s event spectacular and special.

Public forum Community must step up and help our local humane society

Editor: I am not affiliated with the Sevier County Animal Shelter. No one from the shelter asked me to write this. They know nothing about this letter.

I am an avid animal lover. It is so heartbreaking to hear about animal cruelty stories, and how, we, as human beings, can be so cruel to these innocent animals. They didn’t ask to be here, nor do they deserve to be hurt, tortured, abandoned or starved.

With the economic problems our nation is facing, shelters all over the country are taking in more and more animals. A lot of this is the result of people losing their homes and jobs, so they can no longer afford to keep their pets. Some of these people have no other choice but to turn their beloved pets over to the Humane Society.

This is a much better and kinder option than to dump them someplace. Other less

fortunate pets are the results of abuse, lost or abandoned cases, Our local humane society needs our community’s help in a big way. They probably have more animals now than they ever had.

I’ve seen many situations where this community has come together for needed causes.

These unfortunate animals have to depend on us. God created these precious creatures for us to love, enjoy and take care of. Please, let’s help the shelter at a time they really need help.

If you can help in any way possible, please do. There are many doggie jars in local businesses, so drop your change or a dollar or two in one of the jars. Save your newspapers and take by the shelter for the animals’ use.

The shelter can also use such things as hand sanitizer, paper towels, cages, collars, leashes and much more.

If you would like to make a contribution to the shelter, no matter how small, or as a remembrance of a loved one, that would be

wonderful. A lot of people are now asking that, instead of flowers at a funeral, to donate to a charity. I did this recently in memory of a friend who passed away. If you would like to mail in a tax-deductible contribution, the address is Sevier County Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 976, Pigeon Forge, TN 37868.

Also, you may have seen some flyers concerning a contest among all humane societies in America to pick the cutest dog. The dog from Sevier County is Miss Ellie. If Miss Ellie makes it into the top 12, the Comedy Barn Theater will donate $1 for every vote placed to the Sevier County Humane Society.

Voting for our county and Miss Ellie is through Sept. 5. If Miss Ellie should win the No. 1 Cutest Dog, our animal shelter would win $1 million. That would be so awesome.

SCHS tops Tigers in three-way volleyball match

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — Having both fallen to Alcoa earlier in the evening, both Pigeon Forge and Sevier County were hungry for a win when the two teams met up Monday night in Pigeon Forge Middle School gymnasium.

The Lady Tigers played a nearly mistake-free to open the match, taking off to a quick 22-9 lead and eventually winning 25-13 in the opening game.

Led by big plays from teammates Ashley Wojnowski, Katherine Lenhart and Danielle Rauhuff the team looked to have things under control head-

ing into the second game in the best-of-three match with the Bearettes.

Sevier County had other ideas.

The Bearettes turned the tables perfectly in the second game, flipping the script in a 25-10 win.

Good play from Kaycee Dixon,

who finished the match with 16 points, three aces, six spikes, four kills and a dig, helped spur the SCHS team to the win.

Things continued to go well for the Bearettes in the decisive third match, as the team played their way to a 25-17 win.

The victory improved the Bearettes to 3-7 on the season

following a tough 0-5 weekend tournament at Farragut.

The Bearettes suit up again tonight as they travel to distict foe South-Doyle.

PREP FOOTBALL

Sure-footed freshman making varsity impact Bears’ Baxter out-kicking the competition

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — When it comes to Sevier County varsity football, it’s rare that freshmen ever see the field.

With nearly 60 sophomores, juniors and seniors on the Smoky Bears roster, why would freshmen — typically undersized and lacking in the stength of their older counterparts — be thrown to the wolves?

Sevier County’s Jared Baxter can answer that question with one swift kick.

Baxter is the lone freshman on the Bears’ varsity roster. And in the first two weeks of the season he’s made quite an impact.

In week zero Baxter broke the goose egg on the scoreboard with a 33-yard field goal for the Bears’ first score of the season in their 31-14 win over the William Blount Governors.

Last Friday it was another Baxter field goal, this time from 32 yards out, that ended up being the decisive score in the Purple’s 17-14 win over Halls.

Pretty good for a kid that’s never played competitive football, according to coach Steve Brewer.

“He’s doing really well,” Bears’ coach Steve Brewer said.

Heading into fall practice, the Sevier County coaching staff wasn’t sure who’d be handling

“He’s doing really well ... he’s really just filled the void. He really doesn’t have an overpowering leg, but he’s very accurate.”

Coach Steve Brewer on freshman kicker Jared Baxter

the kicking duties.

“We missed our kicker from last year, Patrick Miller, and we really didn’t have anybody to step in.”

Enter Baxter.

“I just noticed that he came out, it’s the first time he’s every played football, he’d played soccer,” Brewer said.

It didn’t take long for Baxter to carve out his niche kicking field goals and extra points. Older players with a little bit stronger legs handle the kickoff duties.

“He’s really just filled a void.

He really doesn’t have an overpowering leg, but he’s very accurate. Right now his range seems to be 30-35 yards. We started taking note of that, and we noticed that he worked extremely hard.”

With four years ahead of him, the sky is the limit.

“That’s what you would hope for,” Brewer said. “If somebody can come out and perform as a freshman, you’d think that with work he can’t get anything but stronger. We’ve lost games because of missed extra points or field goals and we’ve won games because of field goals and extra points. It’s crucial.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

Bearettes soccer team ties in home debut under new coach

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School soccer Smoky Bearettes may not have a win in their first four matches this year, but they like where they are and the direction they’re headed after holding visiting Knox West Lady Rebels to a 1-1 tie Monday night.

The Bearettes (0-3-1), fielding a young and inexperienced

team with two starters new to the sport this season, have played some serious competition early this season, losing to Webb 3-0, Hardin Valley 4-0 and Knox Catholic 1-0 before Monday’s tie against West.

“We have not played a team that is not ranked in the top 25 in the state yet,” said firstyear SCHS soccer coach Bobby Norwood. “Knox West is in the top 15 in the state.

“Our girls are getting better

every day, and they just played out of their minds (against West).”

To top it off, the Bearettes did it on tired legs, playing their third match in as many days.

Colvin is league’s Hitter of the Week SEVIERVILLE ­— Tennessee Smokies outfielder Tyler Colvin was named today by the Southern League as the Southern League “Hitter of the Week,� for the week of Aug. 24–30.

The award is Colvin’s second of 2009 and third overall; he won the same award back on August 3.

Colvin was one of the league’s hottest hitters this past week, hitting .407 with two home runs and eight RBIs. His offensive output, part of a current 15-game hit streak, has been key to the Smokies’ recent success.

Last Friday against the

Mobile BayBears, Colvin hit a clutch double that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. Colvin would then come around to score the winning run just one batter later. Then on Saturday, Colvin’s four-RBI performance laid the groundwork for the Smokies’ 7-5 victory over Mobile.

The 2009 season is Colvin’s third with the Smokies and fourth overall in the minors. The Augusta, Ga. native was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the first round (13th overall) of the 2006 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of Clemson University.

Smokies remain tied for first with loss to Mobile

SEVIERVILLE­ — Handed a golden opportunity Sunday afternoon to take sole possession of first place in the Southern League North Division, the Tennessee Smokies were unable to capitalize, losing to Mobile 5-1.

Wes Roemer and the BayBears defeated the Smokies in front of 4,296 at Smokies Park and in the process, kept the Smokies (34-29) in a first place tie with West Tenn.

Roemer was dominant Sunday afternoon, holding the Smokies to only one run on six hits in seven innings of work. Sixty-three of his 91 pitches went for strikes and he struck out four.

Tennessee starter Andrew Cashner was not as fortunate. He allowed five runs

(four earned) on six hits in six innings of work, walking two and striking out one.

Sunday’s loss by Cashner put him at 2-4 on the season.

Mobile got to Cashner for one run in the first and broke the game open with three runs in the fourth, thanks in large part to a Matt Tupman single to right that brought home two BayBears.

Tupman came through again with a RBI single in the sixth to cap Mobile’s scoring on the night.

The only real sign of life on offense for the Smokies came in the seventh inning, as Tyler Colvin belted his 13th home run of the year to cut Mobile’s lead to 5-1.

thought we did really well. “It was a heck of a game, a heck of a game.�

Goal keeper Erin McMullen deserves much of the credit for keeping the Bearettes in the contest.

McMullen had nine firsthalf saves, of which three could be considered in the great-play category. She finished the night with 17 saves after the Bearettes were outshot 20-5. “Erin came up huge for us in the goal,� said Norwood. “And our defense as a whole — Hayley Fox, Kelsey Fisher, Paris Bentley — played great.�

Although the Lady Rebels controlled the ball most of the evening, the Bearettes would make runs at the West goal in spurts.

One of those runs came at the 25:54 mark of the first half, when Jessica Mayo dished an assist to Shana Garner, who drilled a scoring shot just before a West defender could cut it off, giving the Bearettes a 1-0 edge.

The score stood until West finally snuck one past McMullen at the 21:55 mark of the second half in a very physical battle between two squads not afraid of contact.
