Victim’s mom refutes Zlobec’s version of accident on 66 By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — It seems the man who now sits in Sevier County Jail facing five felony counts and other charges for causing a Labor Day wreck has had plenty of other run-ins with the law, including pending charges for possession of drugs and weapons.

SEVIERVILLE — As three children who were injured in the Labor Day accident on Highway 66 remain in Knoxville hospitals, the mother of one of them is speaking out about her experience in the incident.

Zlobec of Myrtle Beach, S.C., who faces felony charges in connection with the accident. She says she doesn’t believe Zlobec’s story that he simply fell asleep at the wheel and refutes several other parts of Zlobec’s version of the incident which he wrote in a letter to The Mountain See Mom, Page A4

Education Hall of Fame planned By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The Sevier County Board of Education approved earlier this week Sevier County Bank’s proposal for a selection committee for the Education Hall of Fame, which will recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the education of Sevier County students. “This is an outgrowth of the Teacher of the Year banquet,” said R.B. Summitt, president of banquetsponsor Sevier County Bank. “We were trying to think of how to make (the banquet) better and thought the Hall of Fame should be more expan-

sive.” The Education Hall of Fame would not only include teachers but principals, guidance counselors, coaches, retired school employees and anyone else who has contributed to the success of Sevier County Schools. As of Thursday afternoon, individuals selected for the committee had not yet been contacted, Summitt said. The committee will make recommendations on (but not limited to) the following: Determining the process for applications; fair rules of documentation of achievements; nomination requirements; and evaluation of applicants and judges for final inductee selection.

“We will be looking for community input,” Summitt said. The first Education Hall of Fame members will be awarded at the Teacher of the Year banquet in April. The school board has also approved Sevier County Bank’s request to move its Personal Economics Program from fourth grade to high school instruction. The new curriculum for the economics program will be designed to help high school students with common economic issues for their age group. “Many of our high school students See education, Page A5

SEVIERVILLE — Police are investigating an alleged home invasion robbery on Beverly Hills Drive. The incident happened at 8:18 p.m. Wednesday, when the homeowner answered a knock on the door and was attacked by a man who forced his way in, according to officer Shaun Crawford of the Sevierville Police Department. The victim, who declined treatment, said the assailant was wearing a Halloween mask and dark clothing. The suspect is believed to be a man about 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. Investigators found the mask described by the victim near the home. The assailant allegedly struck the victim several times in the head with what was described as a small, club-like instrument, then took prescription medication and an undisclosed amount of money from the house. Another family member at the home was able to flee to a neighbor’s house and call 911, officials said. Police asked that anyone See invasion, Page A5

Seymour couple dies in fiery Chapman Highway crash Witnesses: Others’ road rage may have been cause By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEYMOUR — Knox County authorities say road rage may have led to a fiery wreck that killed a local couple Wednesday evening on Chapman Highway, just outside Sevier County.

Robert Murphy, 48, and his wife Lori Murphy, 47, died when Jessica L. Monroe, 26, of Morristown lost control of her Jeep near Highland View, according to authorities. Monroe also died in the wreck. The Murphys’ 4-year-old son, Nicholas, was treated and released at University of Tennessee Medical Center. A witness told Knox County sheriff’s officers that Monroe appeared to be racing with a white Ford F-150 pickup truck, or that

possibly she and the driver of the truck were involved in an incident of road rage. Officials have asked that anyone with information about the truck call their

Teleserve line at 215-2243. Callers to that line may remain anonymous. Witnesses said Monroe was driving south on the highway when she hit a southbound van operated by another Seymour man, 48-year-old Greg Broyles. The collision caused the van to overturn, and the Jeep careened into the oncoming traffic lane, where it struck the Murphys’ Crown Victoria. Both the Jeep and the Crown Victoria burst into flames from the

impact. Broyles refused medical treatment at the scene. Elaina Jimenez, 22, was riding in the Jeep with Monroe and was taken to UTMC. Witnesses to the wreck said Monroe was driving at a high rate of speed when the accident happened. Knox Sheriff’s Detective Gabe Mullinax was on his way home and came upon the crash right after it happened, according to Martha Dooley, spokeswoman for the office. Mullinax used

a tire iron to break the van windows and get water jugs to pour on the flames. Other bystanders helped get Monroe and Jimenez out of the Jeep and Lori and Nicholas Murphy out of the car. Authorities closed Chapman Highway from 6:50 p.m. Wednesday until about 4 a.m. Thursday as they cleared the wreckage and investigated the accident. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Press. Rios quit her job Thursday, a move she was forced to make as she plans for the ongoing medical care her 3-year-old daughter Karina is going to need. Despite earlier reports that Karina had been sent home, Rios says her daughter has only been transferred from the University of Tennessee Medical Center (UTMC) to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville and is still fighting for her life. “They can’t do surgery (to repair injuries to her pancreas), so she’s going to be undergoing several months of treatments that will have to be administered by a home health nurse and me,� Rios said. “She’s still got a long way to go.� Rios says she was driving with her three children — Karina and two other girls, ages 6 and 15 — on Highway 66 when she saw Zlobec’s Chevrolet Silverado go speeding past her as she turned out of a parking lot. “He flew past me going pretty fast, but somehow I got around him a little bit farther on. He must have gotten into traffic,� Rios says. “I can’t remember if I was stopped or stopping at the light at that intersection, but I remember hearing this terrible noise. The next thing I knew, I was laying with my 15-year-old between the captain’s chairs (in the rear of the van). The force threw us backward.� That terrible noise the family heard was Zlobec’s truck first colliding with a Mazda behind the van, ricocheting off it and crushing the back of the van. That created a chain reaction that, because of the force with which the Chevy hit, caused severe injuries to individuals in a total of six cars. So powerful was the crash that, before it ended up on top of the Mazda in the median, the truck collapsed the rear of the van in on itself like a can being crushed. “It crushed the back seat and broke the other seats,� Rios says. “I don’t even know how we got out of the van. My husband went to see the van a few days later and he couldn’t even get the doors open.� The impact left mainly bruises on Rios and her two older daughters, one of whom was sitting beside Karina in the middle row of seats. Karina’s injuries weren’t immediately obvious to her mother. “I didn’t know she was hurt that badly until she started going into shock,� Rios says. “I had taken them up to another car because one of the women in the front car used to watch my daughter at day care.

authorities in the beach community last week, the charges didn’t show up because they’re filed under one of Zlobec’s many aliases. Sevierville Police Department investigators are confident Zlobec is the real name for the 34-year-old man who claims to be an ordained minister, but he provided them several other names before officials settled on Randy David Zlobec. However, he’s listed in court and police filings under various names, including Randy Ziobec in Myrtle Beach and Jeffery Norris — the first name he gave local officers after the Labor Day incident. Zlobec has also given a number of addresses and birth dates to authorities. Identification he provided to South Carolina and Sevier County law enforcement lists residences from Little River, S.C,, to Sag Harbor, N.Y., and his age from 30 to 34. The Horry County courts’ database lists pending charges for which Zlobec is apparently out on bond, including unlawful carrying of a pistol; unlawful possession of a stolen pistol; resisting arrest; and trafficking in heroin, morphine, etc., with more than 4 grams but less

were taking care of them there when Karina got really cold.� That’s when Rios started calling out for medical aid for her daughter. Emergency workers out of one of the many ambulances sent to the site came to check on Karina before quickly taking her to UTMC. Since then, Rios says she has been by her daughter’s side as she’s gone through medical procedures. She only took a break Thursday morning to have a doctor check on her own injuries. She’s also been in touch with a Sevierville Police Department detective, who told her Zlobec is now facing a fourth felony count of aggravated assault as a result of Karina’s injuries. As for the letter Zlobec sent to The Mountain Press insisting on his innocence and asking that he be allowed to leave jail, Rios thinks it shows he has no idea of the scope of pain he has caused. “I hope he realizes how many people and families he’s hurt,� she says. “He was obviously impaired (at the time of the wreck) and he just doesn’t care what he’s done. He didn’t care then. He literally had to jump down off the car with the little Lakhani children in it before he ran away. I can’t imagine that.� In addition to disputing Zlobec’s claim he wasn’t intoxicated, Rios also refutes his statements that he only ran because he was “assaulted� by police, saying authorities hadn’t even arrived on the scene when Zlobec headed for the Little Pigeon River. Other witness statements also contradict Zlobec’s version, Sevierville police spokesman Bob Stahlke says. As for the people in the Mazda, while a UTMC spokeswoman confirms the driver, Melika Lakhani, has been discharged, but the hospital still is not releasing information on the conditions of the two children in the car. Rios says she “bonded� with Lakhani and her daughter, even taking part in a religious ceremony with them one evening. Still, she opted not to discuss the children’s conditions publicly. Both youngsters were students at Sevierville Middle School. Principal Jayson Nave says he’s received updates on the two youngsters, but refused to speak on behalf of the family. He did, however, say he’s provided regular updates to others at the school, who have been keeping up with the children’s progress. “We’ve got a lot of people praying for them and checking on them,� Nave says. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

than 14 grams. In a letter he sent to The Mountain Press in which he claims to be an ordained minister, Zlobec denies ever even touching strong drink and says he was not impaired when he caused the massive wreck. There are several criminal and traffic charges against him that have already been dealt with by other courts, including two for speeding 10 mph or less over the limit; another speeding for doing more than 25 miles over the limit; operating a vehicle in an unsafe condition, and speeding between 15 mph and 25 mph over the limit. Zlobec remains in Sevier County jail under $250,000 bond, facing four felony counts of aggravated assault and another felony for vehicular assault. He’s also charged with several misdemeanor counts, including DUI, failure to stop and render aid, reckless driving, criminal impersonation, and not wearing a seatbelt. In the letter sent to The Mountain Press, Zlobec insisted he is innocent in the charges and simply fell asleep at the wheel. He asks that he be released from jail so he can be allowed to attend to insurance matters and his family, including a wife and child. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON — Astronomers have found the coldest spot in our solar system and it may be a little close for comfort. It’s on our moon, right nearby. NASA’s new Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is making the first complete temperature map of the moon. It found that at the moon’s south pole, it’s colder than far away Pluto. The area is inside craters that are permanently shadowed so they never see sun. “It’s sort of like a faint glow and that’s your only source of heat,� said David Paige, a University of California, Los Angeles, scientist who is part of the NASA team. “Right here in our own backyard are definitely the coldest things we’ve seen in real measurements.� Temperatures there were measured at 397 degrees below zero. That’s just 35 degrees higher than the lowest temperature possible. Pluto is at least a degree warmer even though it is

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the crater called Faustini, upper, center, on the south pole of the moon, where temperatures reached 397-degrees below zero. Some of those coldest temperatures in the solar system were measured in the crater called Faustini. about 40 times farther away from the sun. The coldest temperatures on the moon were usually in craters that were within bigger craters, hiding farther from the sun, Paige said.

were Faustini, Shoemaker and Haworth. And some of the coldest places are so remote and unexplored they don’t even have names yet, he said. Soon, the moon’s south pole will slightly warm up with the change of seasons and the north pole will get

chillier, he said. That ultra-cold temperature is important because it can trap volatile chemicals, such as water and methane, said NASA probe project scientist Richard Vondrak. Trapped volatiles would give any future astronauts resources to mine and could help scientists understand more about the origin of the early solar system, he said. The moon probe, only a week into its science mission, has also found lots of indications of hydrogen, which could indicate trapped ice below the moon’s surface, Vondrak said. While NASA has been to the moon with astronauts and explored it many times decades ago, this is the first close-up look in about a decade and is focusing on the tantalizing south pole, where there is the best chance for hidden ice. “It’s unexplored,� Paige said. “Nobody’s seen what it’s like in these areas before at this resolution.� And the closer, NASA’s instruments look at the craters, the more nuanced they look.

FedEx profit falls, expects weak year MEMPHIS (AP) — FedEx Corp. said Thursday it sees signs of improvement in the global economy as international shipments pick up, but warned its profit will remain weak at least through the end of the year. The world’s secondlargest package delivery company, considered a bellwether of economic health, said fiscal 2010 first-quarter earnings fell 53 percent — matching its prediction released last week. It also reiterated a fiscal

second-quarter view that implies a modest uptick in worldwide economic activity. FedEx indicated it might start beefing up schedules for flight crew and hourly personnel as package volume improves, but it doesn’t expect that to happen soon. It also doesn’t expect to start adding back employees it cut during the worst of the downturn in the near future. Over the last year, the company has laid off workers and cut wages for thousands of employees to

cut costs. The Memphis, Tenn.based company reported earnings of $181 million, or 58 cents per share for the quarter ended in August, compared with $384 million, or $1.23 per share, a year ago. Revenue fell 20 percent to about $8 billion. Analysts predicted profit of 58 cents per share on revenue of $8.24 billion. In late July its larger rival — UPS Inc. — said its second-quarter profit sank 49 percent and warned that its near-term outlook

probably wouldn’t be any better. FedEx said sales are still hurt by the soft economy, as people ship slower and less often. Lower fuel costs also meant FedEx collected lower fuel surcharges — fees passed on to customers based on the price of fuel. In its Express segment, U.S. package revenue fell 22 percent on lighter and less expensive packages and lower fuel fees. But the number of packages FedEx shipped domestically grew slightly.

commentary

Mercenaries can’t fight wars for U.S.

If you grew up in New Jersey, you learned a lot about the Hessians, the German soldiers hired by the British to put down the American Revolution. Most famously, 900 of them were captured by George Washington’s ragged troops after they crossed the Delaware River on Christmas 1776 and overran the British encampment at Trenton. There were 30,000 Hessians brought to the American colonies, most of them billeted in Jersey and in New York. Some were real soldiers, assigned to King George III by his German cousins in the province of Hesse. The others were conscripts and criminals, though the crime of many was just being poor. They were a flashpoint for American recruitment because the Americans were, after all, still British subjects and greatly resented “their” king for sending foreigners rather than British regulars to fight them. That all seemed a curious historical incident to me — many Hessian descendants live in Jersey — until it became clear that modern American military strategy in Afghanistan and Iraq depends on mercenaries from all over the world. There are, in fact, more “military contractors” in Afghanistan than real American soldiers. They are the new Hessians. They work as drivers, pilots, prison guards, bodyguards, cooks and death squads without uniforms. Many have James Bond-style licenses to kill, issued by a United States government that does not actually control them. If they get caught killing or robbing or pushing around locals, they are rarely disciplined beyond being sent home and replaced by new hires. The American paramilitaries are a scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are 74,000 of them in Afghanistan and more than 120,000 in Iraq. The mercenaries are also being watched around the world. “Who is allowed to kill in the name of America?” said a recent editorial in Le Monde in Paris. But those questions are rarely raised here at home. Occasionally there will be an incident in which employees of military contractors, particularly Blackwater and DynCorp and Fluor Corp., shoot up a town square or kill a couple of folks who get in their way, or just bully people. (Blackwater recently changed its name to Xe Services to try to protect the guilty.) When something happens like that, the reaction of Afghans is predictably the same as that of Americans in 1776. But there is not much questioning in the United States because not many Americans care about our wars of choice in far lands. The ones who do care have no real power without public support. So, it seems certain that no matter what our new Hessians do on the ground, they will probably get away with it. And there will be more of them if the Obama administration continues the war policies of former President Bush. Both our exhausted soldiers and our wellpaid mercenaries are victims of a country that doesn’t care as long as their families are not involved. Iraq and Afghanistan are wars as spectator sport. So was the American Revolution; many Britishers were against that war and others did not see what all the fuss was about — and of course they lost the war. As we will lose these wars. Part of the reason for the decline and disinterest in public support of our adventures out there is that in Washington, our “leaders,” military and civilian, keep changing their rationale for the death and destruction. The latest round of reasons is the old faithful that we will look weak around the world, and that we must deny sanctuaries for al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. Unfortunately, that last is an unobtainable goal. Read Mao Zedong on insurgents as fish swimming in the river. The mercenaries were the dirty little secret of American decline. Without a draft and with eroding popular support, the United States did not have the troops or resources — boots on the ground — to fight two wars at the same time. And some of the cost of those wars, losing wars like the British attempt to subjugate the Americans, can be hidden deep in the budgets of the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and even such unlikely places as the Agriculture Department. This is no way for a free country to run a war. Unless President Obama understands this and refuses to outsource and privatize our war-making, particularly in Afghanistan, he should order Army bands to learn and practice “The World Turned Upside Down,” the tune British bands played as they were driven out of America at Yorktown in 1781. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial

Magnetic idea Idea for Appalachian Culture and Arts school merits serious consideration About a week ago, 40 folks from around the county, including five school board members, met at the Central Office to discuss a very interesting idea — an Appalachian cultural and arts schools that could open as early as next fall. Director of Schools Jack Parton said the concept was approved by the board two years ago. The magnet school would provide middle-grade students with interest in cultural arts, mountain heritage and environment to engage in an intensive study of mountain music, arts, crafts, folklore, heritage and environmental studies. Primarily, the mission of the school, in partnership with Arrowmont, would be a chance to promote the total academic growth and development of its students while preserving, protecting and promoting the unique history and rich culture of the communities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Sevier County. This is not your typical school, nor

would it attract many — if any — students who aren’t artistic by nature. For example, it’s unlikely that students whose primary interests lie in science, mathematics, computers or shop would be at the front of the enrollment line. It is perhaps interesting to note that the College Board’s profile of Standard Achievement Test takers in 1995, students of the arts continued to outperform their nonarts peers on the SAT. School officials say a self-sustaining magnet school could be developed at the site of the old Pittman Center Elementary School and, while not the most central location, Parton pointed out that the location would be appropriate nestled beneath the National Park. If that scenario played out, the cost to the school system and the county taxpayers certainly would be minimal. Further, Geoff Wolpert, a member of the Board of Governors at Arrowmont, has already discussed with Parton and Schools Director of Instruction and

Curriculum Debra Cline Arrowmont and Sevier County Schools combining their resources for the betterment of both. With Arrowmont’s lease with Pi Beta Phi Fraternity set to expire in 2011, this could be both fruitful and expeditious. Community members in the meeting discussed a wide variety of pertinent topics. One participant asked if the school wanted to teach the arts or expose the students to arts. To which David Ogle, partner and co-founder of the Five Oaks Development Group, responded, “I don’t see why we can’t do both.” While Parton said he had received “overwhelmingly” positive response to the concept of the school, there is still much discussion left to be had and many questions to be answered. Having the school in place replete with faculty and curriculum by next fall might be an educational pipe dream. But there’s no reason for it not to become a reality at least by 2011.

PREP SOCCER

Lady Tigers soccer tops Grace Christian By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers soccer squad dominated Thursday evening’s match against visiting Grace Christian Lady Rams, taking a 9-0 victory for their fourth consecutive win. The Lady Tigers (6-3-1) started the scoring onslaught against Grace (4-3) when junior Autumn Wilkinson fired a shot from about 45 yards away, dropping it into the net nine minutes into the contest for a 1-0 Pigeon Forge lead. It was all Orange and Black after that. Wilkinson added her second of the game 25:41 in off a corner kick, and junior Kelsey Brooks made it 3-0 on a breakaway seconds later at the 26:09 mark. Lady Tiger junior Cierra Castro made it 4-0 at the 31:57 mark with a header off an assist from freshman Lydia Cantrell. Pigeon Forge senior Kayla Outlette made it the 5-0 intermission score 15 seconds before the half off a crossing assist from sophomore Dani Montgomery. And the goals kept coming throughout the second half. Montgomery got her score off a missed shot at the 67:40 mark, junior Haley Doane made it 7-0 at the 69:50 mark off a Brooks assist, Wilkinson got her third of the game on a breakaway at the 70:59 mark and Outlette made it the final with her second of the game at the 77:40 mark off a rebound of a missed shot. Pigeon Forge next travels to Morristown West Trojans for a 6 p.m. match Tuesday night. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Tigers face toughest challenge in Fulton

Eagles, Pats face off in IMAC struggle

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

PIGEON FORGE — Coming off their first win of the season last week against Cosby, the Pigeon Forge Tigers are as confident as they have been all year. But it will take more than just confidence for the homestanding Orange-and-Black squad to hang with the dangerous Fulton Falcons tonight. “They’re well coached, very athletic, very quick, very fast ... and they have been one of the top teams in the state of Tennessee through the years,” said Pigeon Forge coach Lee Hammonds. “They’re not very complicated. They just try to get the ball in the right people’s hands and make plays.” Fulton typically takes a straight-forward approach to the running game, lining up in Power-I formations to pound it. But the Falcons can also spread things out and go shotgun to move through the air. It’s nothing the Tigers aren’t already familiar with. “They’re a lot like us,” said Hammonds. “They might try to get to the perimeter a little more than we do, but they like to do a lot of things that we like to do.” Although, Fulton has been doing it at a higher level for years. “But we can only control ourselves, and that’s it,” said Hammonds. “We’ve got to do a really good job defensively with our containment, we can’t give up big plays, we can’t give them anything easy, we can’t turn the ball over. “We just have to be solid and we have to be sound in all three phases of the game.” But admittedly, that may not even be enough for the Tigers to come out winners tonight for the second-consecutive week. “But that’s why we play the game,” said Hammonds. “There’s a lot of things that can happen. “There’s a lot of upsets that happen every night the game is played, whether it be high school, college or the NFL. Upsets happen all the time.”

into by Robinson Chirinos scored Tyler Colvin. After blowing a save last night, Jacksonville closer Matt Peterson redeemed himself by pitching a scoreless ninth to earn the save and preserve the 2-1 Suns win. The teams will bus north to Tennessee on Thursday, with Game Three at Smokies Park on Friday night. First pitch is at 7:15 with Casey Coleman pitching for Tennessee against Jacksonville’s Brad Stone.

SEYMOUR — When the Friday night lights go on in Dandridge tomorrow night, two hard-hitting, grind-it-out teams will face off in an IMAC showdown for conference pecking order. The Seymour Eagles will bring their tough defense and tough running offense to face off with the Jefferson County Patriots and their tricky veer option. Seymour head coach Jim Moore said his team’s been working on defending the Pats. “It’s something we haven’t went against this season, so that gives us a totally different look,” Moore said. “They’ve got a very good quarterback that reads the option well, and offensive linemen that come off the ball well.” “They’ve scored a bunch of points — they scored 35 points against William Blount last week and 21 against Sevier County,” Moore said. “(But ) it’s assignment defense. We haven’t faced that yet, so it gives us a lot of different things to prepare for.” The Eagles have played well against rushing offenses this year, holding three of four opponents to under three yards-per-carry. “We have done well against the run, but the triple-option is a totally different scheme. We’ve seen it in the past, and hopefully we’ll be ready,” Moore said. One plus for the Eagles about the Pats’ offense is their propensity to put the ball on the ground. “Their offense has been doing well, (but) they’ve turned the ball over a lot each game, and hopefully they’ll continue to do that,” Moore said. “But they’ve been moving the ball, and nobody’s really stopped them — they’ve done more of stopping themselves.” Something that may have hit Seymour harder than the Patriots will is illness. The team’s battled sickness all week, with several players missing practices. “We’ve had a bunch of sickness again this week, and we’re just trying to get people on the field right now,” Moore said.

Coach Ed Irvin talks strategy during a timeout against the IMAC rival Lady Trojans.

Seymour falls to tough Morristown West By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — Coach Ed Irvin’s young Seymour Lady Eagles volleyball team gave Morristown West all they wanted Thursday night before falling 25-23, 25-21, 25-22 to the favored Lady Trojans. “We’re still making too many mistakes to beat good teams, but they played good,” Irvin said of his senior-less Lady Eagles. Morristown West’s Cassie Voelker caused problems all

night with her massive hits from above the net, although Seymour’s Madison Coker and Kasey Norman did a good job at times stopping the Lady Trojan’s attacks. “We didn’t have an answer for her,” Irvin said of Voelker, “but we’re doing alright for a young team, they’re working hard.” After starting the first game of the match with a lead, Seymour allowed a West comeback for the 25-23 win. West ran out to a big lead early in the second, going up

17-8, but Seymour made a run and cut the gap before falling 25-21. The final game was more of the same. “We came back and we did the same in the third game,” Irvin said. “We were down and then came back within a couple.” The loss dropped the Lady Eagles to 3-11 overall for the season, and 2-6 in IMAC Conference. mpsports@themountainpress.com

SOUTHERN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Smokies, down two, host Suns tonight JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A pitchers’ duel went the way of the Jacksonville Suns in Game Two of the Southern League Championship Series, winning 2-1 over the Tennessee Smokies at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville on Wednesday night. With the win, the Suns are take a two-game advantage in the best of five series, and can clinch the Southern League Championship with one more victory. Graham Taylor earned the win by pitching six innings while

only allowing one run on five hits, and he also struck out five Smokies. Jeremy Papelbon proved to be a tough opponent for Taylor and the Suns, as he didn’t allow a run through the first five innings. The Suns finally cracked Papelbon in the sixth inning. Logan Morrison’s single drove in the first run of the game with Mike Stanton following with an RBI double to make it 2-0. Tennessee quickly countered with a run in the top of the seventh, as a double-play ball hit

I think Seymour’s defensive line, Nick Smith, Wes White and company, will force Jefferson County’s running game outside, where Keegan Newport and Hunter Crain will take care of business. Eventually either Overton, Chase Ketron or QB Dustin Fain will find the end zone — and if not them, Corey Clark on a pass or kick return. That will give the Eagles the upper hand they’ll need to bring home the win. Seymour wins 13-9.

nation/world briefs Lab tech charged in Yale murder

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Yale lab technician appeared in court and was charged with murder Thursday hours after his arrest in the killing of a graduate student whose body was found stuffed in the wall of the research building where they both worked. Raymond Clark III, 24, kept his head bowed during the three-minute appearance in the suffocation death of Annie Le, also 24. He didn’t enter a plea and said, “Yes, your honor,� when asked whether he understood his rights. The judge then set bail at $3 million and sent him to a holding cell. New Haven Police Chief James Lewis said Le’s death was a case of workplace violence and elaborated little except to say reports that the two had a romantic relationship were untrue “to my knowledge. It is important to note that this is not about urban crime, university crime, domestic crime but an issue of workplace violence, which is becoming a growing concern around the country.�

Folk star Mary Travers dies at 72

BOSTON (AP) — Mary Travers, one part of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, which used beautiful, tranquil harmonies to convey the angst and turmoil of the Vietnam anti-war movement, racial discrimination and more, died Wednesday after a yearslong battle with leukemia. She was 72. Though their music sounded serene, Peter, Paul and Mary represented the frustration and upheaval of the 1960s, as a generation of liberal activists used their music not only to protest political policies, but also to spark social change. And even as the issues changed, and the fiery protests abated, the group remained immersed in musical activism. The trio mingled their music with liberal politics, both onstage and off. Their version of “If I Had a Hammer� became an anthem for racial equality. Other hits included “Lemon Tree,� “Leaving on a Jet Plane� and “Puff (The Magic Dragon).�

to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press. The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency’s leaders share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities. It appears to be the so-called “secret annex� on Iran’s nuclear program that Washington says is being withheld by the IAEA’s chief.

WASHINGTON (AP) — American households saw their wealth increase this spring for the first time in nearly two years as the waning recession breathed new life into stock portfolios and home values. The Federal Reserve says household net worth grew by $2 trillion to $53.1 trillion in the April-to-June quarter. Net worth, or the value of assets such as homes, checking accounts and investments minus debts like mortgages and credit cards, rose by nearly 4 percent from the first quarter, the Federal Reserve says.

U.S. to share swine flu vaccine

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the United States will share 10 percent of its swine flu vaccine supply with other nations. The White House on Thursday announced that the move would help fight the global spread of swine flu, known among scientists as H1N1.

The White House says the virus does not recognize international borders and the United States is working with Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom to share vaccines.

BRUSSELS (AP) — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown expressed confidence Thursday that leaders of rich and poor nations will agree next week on global oversight of banks and other financial institutions that will include limits on bankers’ bonuses. “There is no going back to the bonus structure of the past,� Brown said before a summit at which the 27 European Union leaders will discuss the aftermath of the global financial meltdown. He told reporters that next week’s G-20 summit of rich and developing countries in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, needs to provide more financial oversight and create a global understanding on stricter international economic cooperation.

Photos sought for Vietnam Memorial

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is beginning an effort to gather photographs of each of the more than 58,000 men and women listed on the memorial wall in Washington. Organizers announced Thursday that they plan to showcase the pictures at the memorial’s planned education center.

No timeframe has been set for finishing the project.

Anne Kratochvil, left, and Mary Patterson, founder of Appalachian Relief Fund, stand on the deck of a shed donated by Ailey’s Chapel for storage of yard sale items and donations to the fund.

Relief workers Volunteers give time to help children of Appalachia By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Anne Kratochvil grew up during the Depression. She said she would get a doll one Christmas and then a set of clothes for that doll the following Christmases. The children she now meets with her friend Mary Patterson, founder of the Appalachian Relief Fund, may get a Christmas meal. But without the help provided the fund, there’s little chance they would be greeted with even the most basic of gifts on Christmas morning — much less toys. An Oct. 3 yard sale at Patterson’s home will help provide gifts under several trees, maybe even a few stocking stuffers as well this Christmas for the children they support in Scott County. It will also help fill a more immediate need for food and children’s clothing. Patterson started the fund in 2004, using a van to transport food, clothing and gifts about 100 miles northwest of Sevier County. It’s grown to the point, where a volunteer at the church she works through drives down to pick up items when there is no more room in her home or shed and when there are items collected for a specific need. Right now, Patterson is collecting items and donations for children’s clothing and coats. “I’ve been separating these,” she said of boxes in her basement. “I’m not nearly done.” The Oct. 3 yard sale will help with that and begin the process for collecting items for the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas trips to the Cumberland plateau. Patterson works with Winfield Baptist Church in Scott County, which has an outreach program. “The church buses pick those kids up — they go over into Kentucky too — and bring them to church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night,” Patterson said. “They prepare breakfast for them on Sunday morning, and on Wednesday night they have a meal.” The church uses food the fund purchases through Second Harvest Food Bank and donated by Bush Brothers. “They’re in desperate need of food right now,” Patterson said of an area that has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state and nation. “That’s why I’m having this sale, trying to buy food for the winter for them.” There are not many opportunities for the families to grow much of their own food. Kratochvil described the areas as desolate. Even in the worst of times during

Local businesses support the Gatlinburg Chamber Foundation at the 10th annual miniature golf tournament. The event raises money for the foundation’s Education fund.

Miniature golf tournament benefits education fund GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce Foundation held its 10th annual miniature golf tournament recently at Old Gatlinburg Golf and Games. Over 100 people came to play and support for the event, which raises money for the foundation’s Education fund. The fund provides local scholarships and offsets the cost of employee education. “It was an absolutely fabulous day for all the fun which is involved in this event,� Vicki Simms, executive director of the Gatlinburg Chamber, said. “We’d like to thank our host, Old Gatlinburg Golf and Games, and the many sponsors who made the event possible for their support, and a special thank you to all the participants as well.�

The major sponsors were Nantahala Outdoor Center, Titanic Pigeon Forge, Park Vista Hotel and Convention Center, Tennessee State Bank and Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Players on more than 20 teams played two rounds. Foothills Market won first place, Best Individual Score and Best Dressed Team. Second place went to Titanic Pigeon Forge, and third to Cortese Tree Specialists. The next miniature golf tournament will be jointly hosted by the Gatlinburg and Sevierville chambers on Dec. 8 at Old McDonald’s in Sevierville.

The good, the bad and the ugly surround us

Tournament to help SafeSpace

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is a 1966 epic western film starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in the title roles. One of the most popular and well-known westerns made, the film is regarded by many critics as a classic. It was one of Time magazine’s “100 Greatest Movies of the Last Century.” I explain all of this because Jean and I quite frequently refer to experiences, situations or people as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The descriptive phrase came to mind earlier this week as I was reading a sports reporter’s perception of a football game. The writer described one player as doing a “good” job in fulfilling his responsibilities. He then quoted a coach who said a player made a “bad” decision. The writer went on to quote another coach who said it was an “ugly” win. And then yesterday, as I reclined in a hospital bed awaiting the endoscopy procedure I get the pleasure of experiencing every five years (tonguein-cheek), a nurse who was looking at information on a form asked me what I do as CEO/president of Carl Mays’ Creative Living, Inc. When I told her I am a professional writer and speaker, she asked me what I write and speak about. I explained my specialization is in human relations, motivation, leadership, teamwork, communication and performance improvement. I then added I have spoken to quite a number of healthcare groups, including hospitals. The nurse responded, “I’ve been to some meetings like that.” She paused and then continued, “Do you think that type of thing really works?” I replied, “Well, do you think what you do as a nurse really works?” She looked at me with sort of a deer-caught-inthe-headlight expression, and then nodded her head and said, “Yeah.” I told her, “Your job works if you are a good, professional nurse who knows what you are doing and if the patients with whom you work are cooperative and come in with the right attitude. Am I right?” She nodded and said, “I guess so.” I continued, “The meetings we’re talking about work if you have a good, professional speaker who knows what he or she is doing and if the people who attend the meeting come with a cooperative spirit and the right attitude.” The nurse said, “I guess you’re right.” I replied, “Well, I’ve made over 3,500 presentations — so either it works or I’ve been able to pull the wool over many people’s eyes through the years.” She nodded her head and said, “Good point.” After a pause, the nurse

DANDRIDGE — SafeSpace, a nonprofit agency providing shelter and support for victims of domestic violence, is preparing for its 14th annual golf tournament that begins at 9 a.m. Sept. 25. This year’s tournament is a women’s invitational, with a four-person team scramble format. For the entry fee of $60 each player receives breakfast, lunch provided by Chick-fil-A of Sevierville, golf including the

commented, “But, you know, it won’t work if the leaders don’t buy into. You’ve got to have support from the leaders if it’s going to work.” I replied, “There is always a ladder of accountability — from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top. Every leader on every level and every team member on every level, who is accountable for tasks and responsibilities rather than making excuses or blaming others, is a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.” The nurse nodded her head and said, “You’re right.” And then, I thought of the phrase that had been brought to mind earlier during the week and told her, “But in every organization of any kind, you always have The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” She laughed and nodded her head. My gastroenterologist was pleased with the results of my endoscopy. Next week, I have the opportunity to experience my fiveyear colonoscopy. The saga of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly continues. — © 2009. Carl Mays of Gatlinburg is an author and speaker. E-mail to carlmays@ carlmays.com, call 436-7478 or visit www.carlmays.com.

Advice

Woman not sure how much contact daughter should have with father

Dear Annie: I have been living with “Alex” for two years. We have a 9-month-old daughter, “Maggie.” I just found out that Alex told his employer that Maggie had died. He received $300, and the company was going to hold a fundraiser to cover funeral expenses. I was furious. I called his boss and let him know that Maggie is alive and well. Alex resigned his position and returned the money. Alex said he did it because I complained about our finances. That’s a lousy excuse. I complained because I was tired of supporting all three of us. I pay for everything, and Alex doesn’t contribute a dime. I told him this was the last straw and he needed to move out. He says once he gets his own place, he wants to see Maggie. Should I fight for sole custody and keep her from her father? — Confused Mom in Omaha Dear Omaha: We understand your concern that if Alex has unsupervised visits with Maggie, he might sell her. But in spite of his greed, is Alex otherwise a good father? Does he love Maggie and care for her properly? Studies have shown that fathers who are involved in their children’s lives are a major factor in the development of the child’s self-confidence and how well they do in school. Unless Alex is abusive or teaches Maggie to lie, cheat and steal, a healthy relationship between them will be best for everyone. Dear Annie: For the next six months, I will be the acting manager on a large project. My assistant works well when she

is in a good mood, but can be a total killjoy otherwise. Anything can set her off — a personal matter, my assigning a project to another assistant, if she disagrees with a decision I’ve made or if she feels slighted by someone else. When things do not go exactly her way, she becomes sullen and hostile. This woman does a good job, as I have told her many times, but I find the work atmosphere poisoned by her unpredictable moods, and it is affecting my productivity. Her behavior is especially disappointing because I have spent a good deal of time appeasing her and mentoring her about proper office behavior. I’ve suggested she go back to graduate school so she will have a chance for advancement. I’ve tried to be patient and understanding, but I am tired of apologizing to other staff members for her actions, and I can’t take the sense of dread when I walk into the office every morning. Any thoughts on how I can tactfully take control of this situation before I lose my cool? — Half a Year to Go Dear Half A Year: You are trying too hard to be nice to someone who, quite frankly, sounds like a bottomless pit of selfabsorption. The next time she whines, seriously suggest she seek therapy to learn how to deal with

her chronic unhappiness. Meanwhile, focus on the assignment. If you cannot ignore her moodiness, discuss the situation with human resources. Employees are not supposed to hurt productivity. Dear Annie: “Desperate in Pennsylvania” asked about a clicking in her throat. For several years this happened to me. My internist ordered a Barium swallow, which showed Zenker’s diverticulum. I found an otolaryngologist at Duke Medical Center who had earlier worked to develop a staple-assisted noninvasive technique for closing the diverticulum. When the surgeon examined me, there were about five interns looking on because it is a rather unusual condition. The surgery took a short time, and I was given medication for pain and told to be on a liquid diet for 24 hours. Within a week, I felt great and there was no more clicking. I was 72 years old at the time. “Desperate” may have a different condition, but the Barium swallow was a good way to “see” my problem. — Cloverdale, Va.

UT welcoming parents to campus next weekend From Submitted Reports

KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee Parents Association is expecting more than 2,000 parents and family members of UT students to attend its annual Family Weekend Sept. 25-27. Highlights include entertainment in the UC Down Under, tours of the Baker Center for Public Policy and Haslam Business Building, as well as a historical tour of the campus. The deadline for registering for Family Weekend events is Friday.

New to the Family Weekend lineup is the historical tour, which will take place at 8 p.m. on Friday. During this walking tour, participants will learn the background of historical buildings on campus and hear about the great Volunteers who have shaped the university during the past two centuries. The weekend kicks off at 3 p.m. Friday with check-in and a silent auction in rooms 221–224 in the University Center, benefiting the Parents and Families Fund. Debby Schriver, author of “In the Footsteps of Champions: The University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers, the First Three

Decades,” and Women’s Athletic Director Joan Cronan will meet fans and sign books from 4-7 p.m. at the bookstore. On Saturday, the Parents Association will host the Big Orange Tailgate from 3-6 p.m. in Circle Park, before the Vols take on Ohio. The cheerleaders and members of the band will be on hand to provide entertainment while everyone has barbecue. The tailgate will make its way to Neyland Stadium for the 7 p.m. kickoff. Sunday’s activities include a lantern-andcarriage tour around Old Gray Cemetery.

Registration for Family Weekend is $30 for adults and $20 for UT students and children under 12. Registration fees include admission to most Friday evening programs as well as the Big Orange Tailgate, and a T-shirt. The cost does not include a ticket to Saturday’s football game. The Family Weekend Group Football Ticket Window is accessible once online registration for the weekend is completed. To register, and for a complete schedule of events including locations, times and costs, visit parents.utk.edu/weekend.
