Forge leaders see station plans

INSIDE

PIGEON FORGE — City leaders got their first look at what a planned new fire station will look like in a work session Thursday. Engineer Mike Smelcer presented renderings of the facility, slated for a lot on Veterans Boulevard near Splash Country. Construction of the building, which Smelcer estimated would take eight to nine months once

ground is broke, is being hurried along to comply with the terms of a more than $2 million federal grant to fund the project. The plans call for 7,675 total square feet of space, including a three-bay, pull-through space for the department’s trucks. The facility will also include living quarters, a workout area, a training tower and a mass of storage space. “We’re in desperate need of storage right now,” Fire Chief

Tony Watson told the City Commission. “That’s going to be one of the most important things about this new station.” Smelcer’s renderings show a one-story station on a lot near a rear access road for Splash Country. The building will have a block exterior covered with brick and a blue metal roof matching that of the existing city office complex. Inside will be something of a firefighter’s dream, with state-of-the-art touches like

energy-efficient heating in the bay area and bi-fold garage doors that open faster to aid quick responses to emergencies. Additionally, there will be an effort to implement the most modern environmental construction methods. That’s part of the federal government’s requirements for the city’s being one of only 100 in the nation to receive the fire station cash. See Station, Page A4

Fire alarm system installed Doctor found dead

Cobbly Nob neighborhood takes steps to warn residents

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer COBBLY NOB — They say it only takes being burned once for most people to learn their lesson. That’s certainly true of the folks in the Cobbly Nob area of Sevier County, who recently installed a fire alarm system after a blaze there claimed several homes earlier this year. The new alert system, which was installed Aug. 27, is capable of emitting three tones audible up to 4 miles away, the most powerful such signal available, that warn folks of impending danger. Bill Larkin, a board member for the Cobbly Nob Property Owners Association, says he began pushing for the siren shortly after he was selected to help lead the group. “This came on my mind long before we had the fire,” Larkin says. “I just

group into agreeing to use annual collections for capital projects to purchase the siren. That meant sinking a total of about $16,000 into the effort, which included purchasing the system, finding someone to lift the 450pound behemoth onto a power pole and getting it wired for sound. Larkin

PIGEON FORGE — Wellknown physician Edward Wear died Thursday of what authorities believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Pigeon Forge Police Chief Jack Baldwin reported W e a r ’ s body was found at his family farm on Wears Wear V a l l e y Road. Wear’s death was still under investigation Friday, but Baldwin said, “It appears, upon preliminary investigation, that Wear died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” he said. “However, the investigation is still ongoing.” Wear was an internal physician with Covenant Managed Physicians on Wears Valley Road, and had been on staff at Fort

Certainly that served to prompt others in the community to take Larkin’s warnings and call for the siren more seriously.

“When we had the fire, the fire department was great at getting everyone out safely, but the residents were just a mess. We realized that we just don’t have a plan,” Larkin says. “We knew we needed to have some way of communicating that something if wrong to a lot of people in a short amount of time.” Larkin spurred the

Tenn. taxes fall short again

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s tax collections have now fallen below projections in the first two months of the budget year. The general fund missed expectations by $33.5 million in August, bringing the spending gap to $64 million for the budget year that began July 1. Collection of sales taxes, which account for two out of every three tax dollars in Tennessee, fell about $38 million short in the month. But corporate franchise and excise tax collections exceeded expectations by $2.6 million.

Utah mum on nuke waste ban

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Gov. Gary Herbert’s spokeswoman says he is not going to take a position on whether the U.S. should ban the importation of foreign nuclear waste. EnergySolutions Inc. wants to import up to 20,000 tons of low-level radioactive waste from Italy’s shuttered nuclear power program through the ports of New Orleans or Charleston, S.C. After processing in Tennessee, about 1,600 tons would be disposed of in Utah. It’s the largest single amount of foreign waste the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has ever been asked to allow into the country.

Anna Duggar, star of TLC’s “18 Kids and Counting,” holds her baby girl Mackynzie Renee Duggar, born at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. The baby weighed 8 pounds and was 19.5 inches long. The birth of the first grandchild of the Duggar family will be featured in a birth special, “18 Kids and Counting: First Grandduggar” airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. on TLC. Mackynzie’s birth comes as new grandmother Michelle Duggar is pregnant with her 19th child. She is due in March. The Duggars are expected to be in Pigeon Forge Nov. 5 for the city’s Winterfest kickoff.

CDC: 76 children dead of swine flu as cases rise ATLANTA (AP) — Health officials said Friday that 76 U.S. children have died of swine flu, including 19 new reports in the past week — more evidence the new virus is unusually dangerous for the young. The regular flu kills between 46 and 88 children a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That suggests deaths from the new H1N1 virus could dramatically outpace children’s deaths from seasonal flu, if swine flu continues to spread as it has. CDC officials say 10 more states, a total of 37, now have widespread swine flu. A week ago, reports suggested that cases might be level-

ing off and even falling in some areas of the country, but that did not turn out to be an enduring national trend. “We are seeing more illness, more hospitalizations, and more deaths,” the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a press conference Friday. The new virus, first

identified in April, is a global epidemic. The CDC doesn’t have an exact count of all swine flu deaths and hospitalizations, but existing reports suggest more than 600 have died and more than 9,000 have been hospitalized. Health officials believe millions of Americans have caught the virus.

NASHVILLE — A Tennessee sheriff who objected to a federal immigration program’s secrecy rules has reached an agreement with federal officials over the public release of information about inmates held locally on immigration charges. Nashville Sheriff Daron Hall’s office has agreed to coordinate the release of information with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. If the federal agency wants to keep certain documents secret it must show proof of a federal law or regulation or executive order authorizing that withholding. Metro attorneys have been negotiating for months over revisions to the agreement that allows deputies to check the immigration status of jail inmates and flag them for possible deportation. Hall says keeping the program open to public scrutiny is important. “I really think this program has been misrepresented, maybe because

there’s not enough information out there,” Hall said. “It’s good for the public to know what’s going on and to know whether it’s working or not.” It’s part of a national program called 287(g) that also allows some state and local officers to make arrests for immigration offenses, a power normally reserved for federal immigration agents. Davidson County deputies do not participate in that aspect of the program. Critics say 287(g) encourages racial profiling, punishes people who are generally law abiding, and often splits up families. Earlier this year, ICE announced changes to 287(g) after a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found widespread differences in how it is implemented and a lack of oversight. In the originally proposed wording, information about suspects and cases were part of a broad category of documents that the agreement said “shall not be considered public records.”

KNOXVILLE (AP) — The air quality in five East Tennessee counties around Knoxville is too dirty to meet federal standards. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported Thursday that Anderson, Blount, Knox, Loudon and Roane coun-

ties were among 31 U.S. counties that exceeded the new daily standard for fine particles, based on data collected between 2006 and 2008. Only one other region in the Southeast failed to meet the EPA standard — Birmingham, Ala.

Station

ing board for years and doesn’t look to be close to becoming reality anytime soon, Smelcer has drawn a contingency into plans for the station that calls for the construction of a new entrance to the property from the north. The city has been planning for some time to build the new facility, scoping out several sites before settling on some land it already owns on Veterans Boulevard. With more development expected in that area, the area seemed like a logical choice, City Manager Earlene Teaster says. Additionally, the station will be able to serve an area of the city that currently isn’t covered by the department, meaning not only increased safety for the city’s residents and visitors, but also lower insurance premiums for the property owners in the area.

“We have to jump through all their hoops,” Watson says. When it’s first constructed, the facility will be accessed through a driveway off a road into Splash Country. That will allow quick access to Veterans Boulevard through an intersection with a traffic light, Smelcer pointed out. However, plans call for the rerouting of McCarter Hollow Road to the north, onto part of the property the new fire station will be located on. That move will be made to realign the thoroughfare to meet up with a proposed extension of Jake Thomas Boulevard to Veterans, an effort that calls for the construction of an overpass to connect the two roads. Despite the fact that project has been on the drawn dhodges@themountainpress.com

be aware of what’s going on and be alerted if there’s danger or they need to evacuate,” Nichols says. “When we had the fire earlier this year, we had to go door-to-door up there to get everyone out of their homes. This will definitely be a plus. Anything that helps people stay out of the way of danger is a good thing.” With the siren installed, Larkin says the community is working toward other ways of keeping their area safe. Neighbors there are in the early stages of following the Firewise code, a set of instructions for preventing and suppressing wildfires and keeping those that do occur from affecting structures. Larkin is also working toward installing a system that will supplement the alarm with automated phone calls letting those in the community know of danger ranging from fires to potential criminals in the area. “It’s all about keeping people safe. Things can be replaced, but we want to protect people,” Larkin says.

says he did the programming of the alarm himself to help save some money. The system has three tones, which are demonstrated on the “Links” page of the association’s Web site www.cnpoa.net. Those different sounds will be used to notify people of danger, notify them they need to evacuate and let them know it’s safe to return home. The system is tested for about 30 seconds at noon each Wednesday to ensure it’s working properly, Larkin says. Far from just being a service for the folks of Cobbly Nob, a community made up mainly of rental units that does include a smattering of permanent residences, Larkin says the system will offer protection to others in the area, as well. “We’ve told the folks around here that, if there’s something we need to warn people about, even if they’re not in Cobbly Nob but they can hear our siren, we’ll let that puppy wail,” Larkin says. Larkin has commissioned some mapping of the range of the system, which is the same type installed in major cities by federal officials, that show it covers a massive area in the southeastern part of the county. Pittman Center Fire Chief Jeff Nichols, whose department serves the Cobbly Nob area, says the siren is a positive step for folks in the area. “The good thing is everyone on the mountain will

Obama says he’ll accept Nobel as ‘call to action’ By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — A beaming President Barack Obama said Friday he was both honored and humbled to win the Nobel Peace Prize and would accept it as a “call to action� to work with other nations to solve the world’s most pressing problems. Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he wasn’t sure he had done enough to earn the award, or deserved to be in the company of the “transformative figures� who had won it before him. But, he said, “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.� Obama will travel to Oslo, Norway, in December to accept the award, including a $1.4 million prize.

The White House said Obama will donate the entire amount to charity. Obama, 48, is the third U.S. president to win the prize while in office, after Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Former President Jimmy Carter won the prize in 2002, more than two decades after he left office. In its surprise choice, the Norwegian Nobel Committee cited the president’s creation of a “new climate in international politics� and his work on nuclear disarmament, even though he is just nine months into his presidency. “These challenges cannot be met by any one leader or any one nation,� the president said. “That’s why my administration wants to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.�

GOP, even some liberals, dismiss peace prize By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press Writer

President Barack Obama speaks about winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, Friday, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Obama acknowledged that, while accepting an award for peace, he was commander in chief of a country engaged in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We have to confront the world as we know it,� he said. He said he was working to end the war in Iraq and “to confront a ruthless adversary that directly threatens the American people and our allies� in Afghanistan. “I’m also aware that we are dealing with the impact of a global economic crisis that has left millions of Americans looking for

work,� he said. “This award must be shared by everyone who strives for justice and dignity,� he added. He said that some of his goals, including that of a nuclear-weapons-free world, might not be accomplished in his lifetime. “I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee,� Obama said. “Let me be clear, I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all

WASHINGTON — Gee, you’d think a U.S. president who won the Nobel Peace Prize might get rave reviews from his party’s activists and polite congrats from top Republicans. But news of Barack Obama’s award Friday drew a rebuke from the Republican Party chairman, ridicule from conservative bloggers, and even gripes from some liberals who think he hasn’t done enough to wind down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Top Democrats congratulated Obama, of course, but critics abounded. “What has President Obama actually accomplished?� said Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee. “It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights.�

There was praise from two Democrats who also have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Former President Jimmy Carter, who won in 2002, called Obama’s selection a “bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment.� Former Vice President Al Gore, who won two years ago, said, “I think that much of what he has accomplished already is going to be far more appreciated in the eyes of history, as it has been by the Nobel committee,� Gore said. And some Republicans had kind words, too. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Obama’s presidential rival last year, told CNN he could not divine the Nobel committee’s intentions, “but I think part of their decisionmaking was expectations. And I’m sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to. But as Americans, we’re proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category.�

Moon crash: Public yawns, scientists celebrate By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — NASA’s great lunar fireworks finale fizzled. After gearing up for the space agency’s much-hyped mission to hurl two spacecraft into the moon, the public turned away from the sky Friday anything but dazzled. Photos and video of the impact showed little more than a fuzzy white flash. In social media and live television coverage, many people were disappointed at the lack of spectacle. One person even joked that someone hit the pause button in mission control. Yet scientists involved in the project were downright gleeful. Sure, there were no immediate pictures of spewing plumes of lunar dust that could contain water, but, they say, there was something more important: chemical signatures in light waves. That’s the real bonanza, not pictures of geyser-like eruptions of debris, the scientists said. The mission was executed for “a scientific purpose, not to put on a fireworks display for the public,� said space consultant Alan Stern, a former NASA associate administrator for science. Scientists said the public expected too much. The public groused as if NASA delivered too little. The divide was as big as a crater. “We’ve been brain-

public about the images being a longshot. “They should have put Steven Spielberg in charge,� Kaku said. NASA’s LCROSS mission — short for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and pronounced L-Cross — had all the makings of a blockbuster. Its main goal was to look for some form of water on the

moon — something that could still turn up in those light wave chemical signatures. And water on the moon could change NASA’s troubled plans for space exploration. It would make revisiting and putting a base on the moon far cheaper because the moon’s water could be used, Kaku said. It was relatively cheap and last-minute by NASA standards: Just $79 million, in about three years. It was elegant in its simplicity. An empty rocket hull that would normally be space junk remained attached to the plucky little LCROSS until pulling away Thursday night. On Friday morning, it smashed into a crater near the moon’s south pole. Then the little satellite flew through what was supposed to be a six-mile plume of dust from the crash, taking pictures and measuring all sorts of stuff, mostly looking for water. Moments after the first crash, the smaller spacecraft itself hit the moon for a second impact.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reports that 187 bears have been taken already and the 2009 season is less than two weeks old. That’s nearly twice as many as this time a year ago — and 2008 was a record-setting season for Tennessee with 446 bears hunted.

UT trustees to sell president’s house

KNOXVILLE (AP) — The next University of Tennessee president may have to look for a place to live. UT trustees voted Friday to sell the Georgian-style mansion, known as “Sequoyah Place,” that has served as the president’s home in Knoxville since 1960. It’s a move to cut costs, raise cash and smooth feathers. UT is spending $180,000 a year just to maintain the old house, and no one is living there now.

Timeline of records leak analyzed By KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Investigators are zeroing in on the sequence of events to figure out who improperly released confidential juvenile court records that accused the parents of a kidnapped newborn of trying to sell the baby. Amid the continuing investigation into the baby’s abduction, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation opened a separate probe into the records leak this week. Spokeswoman Kristin Helm said the timeline of when authorities and child welfare officials learned

about the allegations and when the news media reported them is significant. The week-old infant, Yahir Anthony Carrillo, was found safe in Alabama on Oct. 2 and a suspect was arrested. The baby and his mother were briefly reunited then separated almost immediately when the state Department of Children’s Services took him and three siblings into custody for “safety” reasons. The family was reunited Tuesday and a lawyer representing the mother, Dennis Nordhoff, confirmed that the state took custody because of the baby-selling allegation, which he said was discussed in

the leaked records. Nashville police said the parents, Maria Gurrola and Jose Carrillo, have been cleared of any involvement in the crime. DCS has never said why it stepped in, citing a need to protect the family’s privacy. But the news media began reporting the babyselling claim, citing confidential sources, the same day that DCS filed documents in Nashville’s Juvenile Court for an upcoming custody hearing. Suspect Tammy Renee Silas, 39, of Ardmore, Ala., has been charged with kidnapping. Gurrola was stabbed during the abduction, but no one has been charged with that assault.

Volunteers with the Sevier County Heritage Museum are pushing county leaders to ensure the area’s past isn’t soon history. A small leak in the roof of what was the U.S. Post Office in Sevierville, now serves as the only facility dedicated solely to preserving the county’s roots. “The county has been very good to us. I hope the roof can be fixed,” said museum volunteer Patsy Bradford. She said she is optimistic after years of discussion, that this time something will actually be done. (It has since been repaired.)

TVA project could discolor lake

CHATTANOOGA (AP) — The Tennessee Valley Authority plans to reduce the water level at its Raccoon Mountain storage reservoir and the release will likely temporarily discolor Nickajack Lake, similar to sediment from a flood. A TVA statement Friday said the water level at the pumped storage plant’s mountaintop reservoir is being lowered for routine inspections. The operation is to begin Nov. 2.

Billy Ray Cyrus

NEW YORK (AP) — Most parents want their kids to twitter less, but not Billy R a y Cyrus. T h e country music star is urging daughter Miley Cyrus to Cyrus return to Twitter. The 16-year-old pop star quit the microblogging site earlier this week, puzzling her fans. She had more than 1.1 million followers on the site. Her father tweeted Thursday that Miley “can’t leave everyone now” and said “we r countin on u.” Miley Cyrus’ account is no longer active. In one of her last posts, she wrote that Liam Hemsworth, her co-star in the upcoming film “The Last Song,” wanted her to delete her Twitter account “with good reason.”

Three Cheers Barbara Mandrell shines on day that Bush visits

Fox News at 13: Who could know? Big birthday this week: Fox News Channel is 13 years old. I was there on Oct. 7, 1996, when the channel was launched with about 15 million subscribers. Now we have about 90 million. Back then, if “The Factor” received 50 e-mails a day we were happy. Now, we average about 2,000 electronic letters daily. FNC is perhaps the biggest media success since the networks were formed in the 1940s. Fox News is a billiondollar enterprise that dominates cable news ratings and is consistently in the top five of all cable programs. Simply put, FNC is on fire even after all these years. There are two compelling questions on our birthday. First, why the big success? Second, why do many media people despise us? The success part is twofold. There is no question that FNC leans to the right, because it gives conservative voices a prominent place on the air. No other TV news operation does this. So, logically, conservative Americans tune in for long periods of time. Also, Fox News is not boring! This, I believe, is the biggest reason for our success. Like us or not, we move things along. We have lively people on the air. We take chances and do things differently. In primetime especially, Americans do not want dull programming. Many news programs simply recite the day’s events. That will not cut it anymore. You have to give viewers something unique and entertaining. FNC does. That makes our competitors and the ideologues running many of the nation’s newspapers furious. They don’t like the traditionalism of Fox News, and they seethe at our success. Thus, on any given day, you can view scathing personal attacks against FNC anchors. Think about it: Why the rage? Nobody is forced to watch Fox News. If you don’t like Beck, Hannity or O’Reilly, watch the Food Channel. The hysteria over Glenn Beck is a great example of why Fox News dominates. Here is a guy with an opinion. He has a television show. That’s it. Beck freely admits he’s not a newsman in any sense. He’s just a guy who loves his country and wants to talk about it. Apparently, that is driving the intelligentsia insane. They can’t stand a guy like Beck mouthing off. But why? Last time I looked, Beck held an American passport. So he’s entitled to speak his mind. A big corporation is smart enough to pay him to do that, and millions watch. Isn’t the USA a great country? Obviously, I’m happy to be celebrating 13 years on Fox News. When I took the job, I was just looking to make a nice living and have a little fun. But now, “The O’Reilly Factor” is part of the American fabric, a broadcast that actually influences the debate in this country. Way back in 1996, who knew? — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You? Distributed by Creators Syndicate. (C)2008 Bill O’Reilly.

On a day when a former president of the United States made a speech at the Sevierville Events Center, another internationally known celebrity was unfortunately overshadowed during a visit to Dollywood. Barbara Mandrell, one of the famed Mandrell sisters, came to Pigeon Forge to accept the James D. Vaughan Award that recognizes musicians who have influenced the growth or performance of the southern gospel genre. Naturally, Mandrell, whose sister Louise owned a theater here for several years, couldn’t have been more humble. “My heart is exploding with gratitude,” she said as she accepted the award. “Thank you for overwhelming me. ...” Mandrell, better known for her country music, said the award was special to her because of her deep faith in God. “I love singing this music because I love my heavenly father and my savior,” she said. “Everything I have came from God. It’s just my privilege to sing for him.” Bush may have gotten more attention addressing a religious convention, but he certainly didn’t diminish the award given one of Tennessee’s favorite daughters.

Some of Sevier’s cutest babies have day in the sun

If you saw them at the contest or later saw their pictures in the newspaper, you couldn’t help but fall in love with them. Four children were awarded prizes in the Sevier County Right to Life Cutest Baby Contest — but all who entered the competition were very special. For the record, the winners were Amelia Faye Wagner, daughter of Missy and Ty Wagner, who was awarded the grand prize; Kaitly Trundle, daughter of Lonnie and Cindy Trundle, who won first place; Macy Miller, daughter of Doug and Patty Miller, who won second place; and Bryson Chambers, son of Jessica Ogle, who took third place and was the only boy in this year’s outstanding lineup. The remainder of those in the contest, which was part of the Celebrate Life Theme of the Sevier County Fair, will receive special certificates. “We are so blessed to have these babies in our contest,” Right to Life chapter president Ursula Beckman said in presenting the awards. “They are all winners in our eyes and in the sight of God, in whose image they are beautifully and wonderfully made.” All of the children and parents, should take a bow.

Pigeon Forge cloggers dance way to recognition

Another group of Sevier County children who basked in the spotlight recently are the 36 students from Pigeon Forge Primary, Pigeon Forge Middle and Wearwood Elementary schools who comprise the Pigeon Forge Extreme Dance team. The dancers recently returned from a regional clogging competition at Fontana Village Resort in North Carolina, bringing home 13 trophies in various divisions including team dances, solo dances and duets. Winning performances such as these do not just happen; it takes hours of hard work, discipline and sacrifice. Megan Mercereau, the music teacher at Pigeon Forge Primary and Wearwood, should be given her share of the credit for directing the team that originated in 2007 and will be performing in the future at several venues in Sevier County. Parents must be applauded as well for offering their encouragement. Among the dancers bringing home hardware from North Carolina were Giovanna Paolozzi, Kimberly Whaley, Morgan Hembree, Elizabeth Gibbs, Macy Leatherwood, Megan Crump, Abigail House, Janelle Furgeson, Amanda Johanso, Justin Newberry, Breanna Bergman, Hannah Simms and Jessica White.

American Legion posts colors at event with former President Bush

Editor: On Oct. 1, we got a call from one of the planners for the four-day event that was going to be held at the new Events Center in Sevierville called “Autumn 2009 Celebrators.” They were asking if we could provide Color Guard Services to Post Colors for the “Celebrate America” event, which was going to be held on Wednesday night, Oct. 7, which included a speaking appearance by former President George W. Bush. When we first got the call, we were extremely pleased, but surprised because the caller said they were having some difficulty getting an Honor Guard. We quickly verified that the call was for

Public forum real, and accepted the opportunity. We proudly announced this to our membership, and then found out that seating for the event was extremely limited. In fact, the event was sold out some time ago. To make a long story short, five of our Legionnaires and four of their wives were invited, and proudly attended. We have expressed to the planners of this event how humbly appreciative and grateful we at American Legion Post 104 were to get to do this; We just want to express this publicly. As America’s Veterans, it continues to be our reward to serve our Great Nation. Steve Holbert American Legion Post 104 Public Relations Officer

Smoky Bears rise to the challenge Soggy field doesn’t slow down SC scoring in 31-3 blowout By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer MORRISTOWN - The Sevier County High School Smoky Bears, with contributions from all three facets of the game, shocked the No.6 state-ranked Morristown West Trojans 31-3 Friday night at BurkeToney Stadium. The Bears (7-0, 4-0) scored touchdowns offensively, defensively and on special teams to come up with the lopsided win to remain perfect on the season and in firm control of District 2-AAA, otherwise known as the IMAC Conference. “Offense, defense, special teams,” said 18th-year SCHS head football coach Steve Brewer, following the big win. “It all worked together tonight. “We knew that’s what it would take to beat Morristown West, because they’re a very good football team.” Despite a lightning delay and torrential downpour in the first half, the Smoky Bears jumped out to a 17-3

halftime lead, highlighted by a 29-yard Jared Baxter field goal, a three-yard Kel McCarter TD run and a 36-yard interception return by Josh Johnson. Sevier County held a slim 3-0 lead after scoring on its opening possession, but neither team could sustain any drives until the Bears marched 79 yards capped by McCarter’s TD run with 1:24 in the opening half. Johnson’s interception return came just 36 seconds later to put the Bears up 17-0 with just 48 seconds until intermission. Morristown West managed its only point-producing drive of the night on the ensuing possession, scoring on a 29-yard field goal of its own with just 1 second on the clock. The Smoky Bear defense kept things going Sevier County’s way to start the second half, forcing West into a 4th-and-24 punt from the Trojan 11.

It’s a happy homecoming for PF Tigers Eagles fight back,

but can’t overcome big Hurricane lead

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — The rainy conditions at Jim Whaley Field played right into the hands of the Pigeon Forge Tigers Friday night, as the team dominated the second half on homecoming to topple the visiting Meigs County Tigers 20-13. Trailing 13-7 at halftime, the hometown Tigers (3-4 overall, 0-3 in District 3-AA) refocused in the locker room and owned second half, keeping the ball in Meigs County (2-6, 1-2 in District 5-AA) territory for the majority of the remainder of the game. After playing tough defense and recovering a fumble on the Meigs County 24-yard line late in the third quarter, penalties pushed the rain-soaked Tigers back to the 34-yard line for a 3rd-and-long as the final quarter began. Quarterback Kaleb Black found running back Chase Travis for a nine-yard gain, setting up a crucial 4thand-11 for the Orange and Black. That’s when coach Lee Hammonds reached deep into his playbook, to a little-used screen for athletic wide receiver Rodney Porter, who made just enough defenders miss to

game. It’s just a little slip screen that we throw to him and Rodney coming back gave us some fire and made a great play to get us the first down.” Ignited by the big play the Tiger offensive line stepped up and made some

holes for Travis, who carried the ball into the end zone two plays later for a nine-yard TD to knot the score at 13-13. The sloppy footing made the extra point a crapshoot, See TIGERS, Page A9

SEYMOUR — The lightning and thunder in the sky was matched by an offensive storm on the field, but the thunder of Seymour’s attack was outmatched by the lightning quickness of Morristown East, as the Hurricanes came away with the win over the Eagles, 32 -21, at Benton Householder Field. Morristown opened with a gale force run by Hurricane quarterback Tee Howell, who took the first play 66 yards in under seven seconds to give Morristown East a first-and-goal to start the game. The Eagle defense held the line for three plays, but on fourth down, Howell fumbled the ball across the goal line, then recovered it for the touchdown. A bad snap on the PAT left the score 6-0 in favor of Morristown East. The first quarter storm continued. Seymour’s second play was a 25-yard blast by Blake Overton that gave the Eagles good field posi-

tion. The Morristown East defense stuffed the Seymour offense on the next four plays, however, and the Hurricane offense took the field. Covering 52 yards in 14 plays, including a 30-yard run by Terrell Warren, the Hurricanes moved the ball into Seymour territory. The drive paid off when running back Johnny Bell took the ball in from eight yards out. The PAT by Nolan McDaniel gave the Hurricanes a 13-point lead. Seymour got the ball back with just over a minute and a half to go in the quarter and went to work. Keegan Newport thundered through the middle for 25 yards, and Dustin Fain scrambled for 24 more, moving the Eagle offense rapidly down the field. The drive was killed by a turnover as a high snap went over Fain’s head and was recovered by Morristown East. The quarter ended on the next play with a brilliant tackle by Newport, who caught Warren in the backfield for See EAGLES, Page A11

Upset alert: Highlanders score late to shock Fulton By RUSTY ODOM Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE — Friday night’s football matchup between GatlinburgPittman and Fulton was full of surprises. Not the least of which was the dramatic fourth quarter, which saw the visiting Highlanders shock the Falcons 14-11. Torrential rains matched with lightning and potentially tornadic winds

pushed the scheduled kickoff time two hours and twelve minutes. In light of the severe prognostications, Bob Black Field was evacuated at 8 p.m. At 9:15, fans began re-entering the stadium and by 9:29 both teams had taken the field. This isn’t the first time that mother nature has played a huge role in a Fulton Falcon home game this season. Just under

a month ago, the contest between Fulton and Alcoa was postponed due to a surprise sink hole near midfield. The last time these clubs met was in 2002. G-P wound up on the short end of that 24-0 state quarterfinal playoff game and had plenty of time to think about it during the delay before the game. There aren’t many situations that longtime

G-P head coach Benny Hammonds hasn’t experienced. When asked what he did to keep his players busy during the delay, he explained with a smile, “We just tried to keep them relaxed. This is a team. It wasn’t hard to do because they all like each other.” Hammonds’ formula worked as the Highlanders quietly took the field beside a raucous Falcons

squad. Though Fulton looked like the more excited team, the first quarter was owned by GatlinburgPittman. A Demetrius Thomas punt return 51 yards on a punt return was the Highlanders only mistake. The Falcon phenom gave the home team possession deep inside GP territory but Thomas fumbled on an attempted halfback pass and GP senior Hunter Douglas recovered

the football at the 20-yard line. Each team’s defense stood tall over the next few possessions. Fulton reached the Highlander redzone three times in the first stanza but wasn’t able to get a score. With 14 seconds left in the first quarter, G-P took the first lead of the game when corner Ryan Taylor See HIGHLANDERS, Page A10

shoot, and the ball skipped under the goal posts, leaving the score tied with about 9:00 to play. Again the Tiger defense stepped up, giving up minimal yardage and forcing a Meigs’ 3-and-out. A wobbly punt gave the Tigers a chance from just inside midfield. A methodical drive, highlighted by a 4th-andfive conversion on a late option pitch from Black to Travis, ended with the sophomore tailback scooting in from two yards out for the go-ahead score that would prove to be the winner for PFHS.

it 24-3 Sevier County and put the Trojans behind the 8-ball. The Bears made it the eventual final when they drove 78 yards on 14 plays and ate up nearly half of the fourth-quarter clock in the process. McCarter capped the drive with his

second score of the night, this one from one yard out with 6:50 in the game. SCHS senior QB Zach Flynn came up big for the Bears on a soaking wet night, completing 16-of24 for 229 yards with no interceptions. The Bears rushing

offense struggled with just 63 net yards on 25 attempts, led by McCarter with 30 yards on 10 totes but with two TDs. SCHS next travels to Cherokee next Friday night.

“We’d had that play in all week, and he made a great pitch and Chase did a great job getting the first down,� Hammonds said of the gutsy option, which caught the visitors offguard and maintained the scoring drive. Another huge defensive statement on the ensuing Meigs’ possession cemented the Tiger win, as the hungry defense forced a turnover on downs on the visiting Tigers’ own 1-yardline. Ever the sportsmen, Pigeon Forge simply lined up in the victory formation and kneeled down to kill the clock. After the final buzzer, Hammonds couldn’t say enough good things about

his team — especially the defense. “I really liked the way we came out the second half, we got about halfway through the third quarter and had a (lightning) delay, and defense stepped up and had a lot more desire, determination about them and a lot more heart. “Coach (Bill) Sharp did a good job making an adjustment, the kids responded well and came out with some confidence. I think we established something tonight in this program, coming from behind number one, and number two just letting these kids understand that desire and determination can win football games for you. “I couldn’t be prouder

of these kids and how they played tonight.� Pigeon Forge’s first TD, which was the opening score of the game, came on a five-yard Travis jaunt, following a 31-yard pass from Black to receiver Cameron Faulkner, which set up the plunge. Meigs County answered with a TD on their next drive, moving the ball downfield with relative ease on a five-play, 51-yard drive, following a 45-yard kickoff return. Pigeon Forge tries to keep up the winning ways next Friday as they travel to Union County to face the Patriots.

Seymour volleyball has tough matches Youthful Lady Eagles drop to 9-16 with losses MORRISTOWN — The Seymour volleyball team traveled to Morristown East on Tuesday evening and fell in a three-game sweep 11-25, 18-25, 13-25. “I have been lucky over the years in that my teams have not been too many senior night opponents,� said Seymour (9-16, 5-8) coach Ed Irvin. “Generally, coaches will select a lesser opponent for those occasions, to help ensure a happy night for the home folks. But we were East’s senior night opponents, and they were ready to play.� The first set started out even at 6-6. However, in the next serve exchanges, the score went to 22-6 in favor of the Lady Hurricanes. The second and third sets

produced similar results. Ashley McCarter led Seymour’s effort with 27 digs and five points. Sarah Stoffle added five digs. One day earlier the Lady Eagles volleyball team stepped out of district play and hosted Heritage, falling in a three-game sweep 21-25, 13-25, 14-25. “I wanted to play one of the 4AAA contenders at the juncture to see how we stacked up against them,�

KNOXVILLE — Georgia suffered a disappointing season start, an unwarranted penalty and a lastminute loss to LSU. But Bulldogs coach Mark Richt knows Tennessee doesn’t have any sympathy for his now unranked Bulldogs. “The bottom line is Tennessee is not going to feel sorry for us. We can’t feel sorry for ourselves,� he said. “We have to buckle it up and get ready to go.� The annual meeting of the Bulldogs and the Volunteers used to be one of the premier matchups in the Southeastern Conference’s East Division, but the game has lost a bit of its luster this season. Neither team is ranked for the first time since 1937, and after both lost last week the game drew a 12:21 p.m. time TV slot. Georgia (3-2, 2-1) is trying to get back on track after the loss to LSU in case No. 1 Florida stumbles in its quest to repeat as divisional and conference champion. Tennessee (2-3, 0-2) is just trying to get its first SEC win under new coach Lane Kiffin. The Vols don’t want to paint it as a “must win� game, but with No. 3 Alabama and No. 25 South Carolina still on tap for October they could use a victory. “We’re going to go out there and play our best and go from there,� quarterback Jonathan Crompton said. “We’re not putting the pressure on ourselves and say, ’Hey, if we don’t win this game our season’s over,’ because it’s not.� After more than a decade of streaks — the Vols won nine straight in the ’90s, which the Bulldogs followed with a four-game streak — the teams have traded wins lately.

Tennessee was a 1 1/2point favorite late in the week, but with the way the teams have played this season it’s seemingly anyone’s game. “There is a lot of tradition involved, a lot of emotions and goals that can be achieved for whoever wins. It is going to be a big game for both teams,� Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran said. Both teams are struggling with one-dimensional offenses. The Dawgs can’t seem to get their running game off the ground while the Vols struggle to complete passes while the game is still within reach. Georgia is averaging only 98.8 yards rushing per game and likely will be without tailback Caleb King, who suffered a fractured jaw and concussion against LSU. The Bulldogs will face the No. 19 defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision with Tennessee. The Vols are looking forward to facing a more traditional offensive scheme after three-straight weeks of trying to defend optionprone teams. “Getting back to reading base offenses and knowing your keys and knowing what’s going on, it feels good,� Tennessee linebacker LaMarcus Thompson said.

HIGHLANDERS 3From Page A8

picked off a Ben Winters’ throw and streaked down the left sideline to score from 30 yards out. Gatlinburg-Pitman was productive in stopping Fulton’s Thomas in the opening frame, but struggled to contain the speedy back in the second quarter. Fullback Marco Golliday joined the act in the second quarter when he screamed up the middle for 24 yards. G-P’s defense again stiffened, but a penalty gave Fulton the ball inside the G-P 20. Two plays later, Thomas reached paydirt and after a successful two-point conversion, Fulton held the lead 8-7. The Falcons added a field goal just before the half after yet another Highlander stand, this time inside their own five yard line. The scoreboard read 11-7 as the teams took the field for the second half. Each team’s defense dominated the third frame. Fulton turned the ball

G-P players and coaches celebrate the victory over Fulton as the scoreboard shows the final margin. over for the third time when Colin Meier outran a Falcon receiver and picked the errant throw. Paul Howard also forced a fumble before time expired in the third. The Highlanders moved the chains for the first time on the opening play of the final quarter. Their second first down came two plays later on a connection between Tye Marshall and Ryan Taylor. On the ensuing set of downs junior wideout Ron Durbin made the play of the game when he dove into Fulton ter-

ritory to made a miraculous grab. On 3rd-and-11 from midfield, Marshall connected with tailback Dillon Reagan on a screen play that gave GP the ball at the Falcon 30-yard line. A Fulton personal foul sent a cold chill through the homecoming crowd. A pass interference call on third down turned that anxiety into anger. After a G-P timeout, the Highlanders had the ball at Fulton’s 7-yard

line with a full set of downs and 6:36 left in the game. G-P’s resilience was rewarded when Marshall hit Taylor in the end zone, giving the visitors a 14-11 lead with just 5:12 remaining. It was the sixth consecutive third down conversion on the drive. On the ensuing Fulton drive, a 62-yard touchdown pass was negated by an illegal block in the back. “We had some letdowns in the end, but we also caught some breaks,� explained Hammonds. The score would have put the home team ahead with just four minutes to go. Later in the drive, D.J. Ball sacked Fulton’s signal caller on third down and Caleb Brien got the stop on fourth down to cement the biggest win for G-P in quite some time. “We thought we had a chance to win or else we wouldn’t have come down here,� finished Hammonds. mpsports@themountainpress.com

a seven-yard loss. The second quarter began just as the first quarter, only this time the lightning came from Warren, who took the ball 85 yards for a touchdown. McDaniel’s kick was good, and Seymour found themselves in an early hole, down 20-0. The Eagle offense had to get things together, otherwise the game was going to get out of reach. Behind the strong running of Newport and some excellent blocking by the offensive line, they did exactly that. Seymour moved 75 yards in seven plays, capped off by a 19-yard touchdown run by Blake Overton. The lightning on the field dried up in the second quarter as the lightning in the sky took over. The rains that were predicted broke loose with about five minutes to go in the half. For two or three minutes it was hard to see the field, as the skies opened up. Neither Morristown East nor Seymour was able to do much with the ball until

the rain slacked off. They traded punts back and forth; Seymour tried a fake punt; and lightning moved in just as time expired in the half. The start of the second half was delayed about 30 minutes for the storm to move off, and when play resumed there were more people on the field than in the stands. The Eagles opened the second half with the ball and a driving need to score. The Seymour offensive line opened some big holes for Newport to run through. Fain hit Cory Clark with a nice pass to keep the chains moving, and then hit Newport with a 24-yard touchdown strike that brought the Eagles to within one score. Stephen Martin’s PAT was good, and the score was 20-14. Then lightning struck once again for the Hurricanes, when Tavin Blanton took the ball 85 yards for the Hurricane touchdown. Morristown East went for two put didn’t make it, but they had extended their lead to 26-14 The Eagles weren’t able to get anything going on offense and had to punt.

The Hurricanes weren’t able to move the ball either, and had to punt, but Eagle defensive lineman Nick Smith blocked it, setting up the Eagles with a 1st-and-10 inside the Morristown East 15-yard line. The Eagles capitalized on the block with a Fain pass to Clark in the end zone for a TD, followed by a Martin Kick, and Seymour was within five points of the Hurricanes after trailing by 20. But there was still more electricity in the Hurricane arsenal, aand on first down Tee Howell took the ball 80 yards for the touchdown. The PAT was no good, but the damage was done. The Hurricanes led 32-21. The Eagles were forced into a one-dimensional offense, and on a sloppy field they had to try and establish a passing game. Fain and his receivers did the best they could, but the rain and the soaked conditions proved to be too much for them to overcome. The game ended with the final score, Morristown East 32, Seymour 21 Next week, Seymour will travel to South-Doyle. Game time is 7:30.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market is keeping its momentum going, giving shares their best week in more than two months. Moderate gains on Friday led by health care and utility companies pushed stocks to a 4 percent gain for the week, their best performance since July. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 78 points, reaching its highest level in a year. Bond prices tumbled, extending the previous day’s losses, as the Treasury market struggled to absorb $71 billion of new supply auctioned off this week in the government’s ongoing efforts to fund its stimulus programs. The market’s performance was a fitting way to commemorate the second anniversary of the record recting the brand will be highs set by the Dow and difficult, but the key will the Standard & Poor’s be quickly rolling out more fuel efficient models that get over 20 mpg. “I’m not in any kind of denial that we have a very steep uphill challenge in front of us,� Taylor said. Hummer, he said, has been in a state “suspended animation� since June 2008 when GM announced it would be reviewed for sale or closure.

Hummer brand sold to Chinese manufacturer DETROIT (AP) — Hummer, the off-road vehicle that once epitomized America’s love for hulking trucks, is now in the hands of a Chinese heavy equipment maker. General Motors Co. and Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp. finally signed the much-anticipated deal for GM to sell the brand on Friday. Tengzhong will get an 80 percent stake in the company, while Hong Kong investor Suolang Duoji, who indirectly owns a big stake in Tengzhong through an investment company, will get 20 percent. The investors will also get Hummer’s

nationwide dealer network. Financial terms were not disclosed, although a person briefed on the deal said the sale price was around $150 million. The person did not want to be identified because the terms were being kept private. GM’s bankruptcy filing last summer said that the brand with military roots could bring in $500 million or more. Suolang Duoji also is the controlling shareholder and chairman of Lumena Resources Corp., a Hong Kong listed mining company. GM and Tengzhong

said in a statement that the transaction still must be approved by the U.S. and Chinese governments. Chinese regulators initially expressed reservations about Tengzhong’s ability to run such an enterprise. Hummer’s current management team will stay with the new company, which will be headquartered either in Detroit or suburban Auburn Hills, Mich. James Taylor, the GM executive who has run Hummer recently, will remain as its chief executive officer. Taylor said in an interview with The Associated Press that he knows resur-

500 index, which closed at 14,164.53 and 1,565.15 respectively. It was after reaching those milestones that the market began what turned into a cataclysmic slide that ended March 9. This week investors cheered more signs that the economy is healing, including growth in service industries, a surprise profit from aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. and the first gain in retail sales in over a year. That helped put a seven-month rally back on track after two down weeks driven by disappointing economic data. The dollar recovered some of its recent losses against other currencies Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reassured markets that the Fed will wind down its extraordinary stimulus measures when the time is right.

Advice

Wife wants more affection and help around the house from her husband

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My husband really is a wonderful man. People describe me as patient, easy-going and positive. I’m happy — except for my marriage. For years, I’ve been bothered by the same three issues: I crave affection, but my husband is content to have sex once a month and I feel rejected when asking for more. Second, I feel suffocated at times because of his insistence that he always have his own way — although I have been more forceful recently in putting up a fight. Third, I am very lonely. I have a full-time job and come home to be a parent and do most of the household chores alone. My husband is never here. He is a workaholic. When I express my total frustration, there will be short periods where he is mindful of my needs, but it’s only temporary. My husband insists we need the money he brings in, but I’d rather do without the extras he buys so I could spend more time with him. He thinks I have a pretty good life and should be content, and that all marriages have issues. Am I expecting too much? — Sad Wife Dear Wife: It is not expecting too much to have your husband’s affection more than once a month along with some cooperation with the house and kids. However, you cannot make him become something he is not, especially if he doesn’t see a problem. This is what counseling is for. A competent counselor will help him understand why his behavior is so frustrating for you,

and you can learn how to cope with his limitations. He also should see his doctor and have his testosterone checked. Dear Annie: “Larry in Bakersfield” is correct that writers commonly misuse the abbreviation “i.e.” (id est) in situations for which they should use “e.g.” (exempli gratia). But his definition of “i.e.” was incorrect. The abbreviation “i.e.” introduces a clarification of the preceding word or phrase, whereas “e.g.” introduces an example of it. Thus, one might write: “Skyscrapers, i.e., very tall buildings, sometimes have nicknames, e.g., ‘The Empire State Building.’” — Grammatical Fussbudget Dear Fussbudget: Thanks for the additional clarification. When we printed that letter, we had no idea so many readers would be interested. Our knowledge of Latin is limited to E Pluribus Unum, veni, vidi, vici and whatever pops up in the crossword puzzle. Read on for more: From Round Lake Beach, Ill.: I’m sorry, but your Latin expert has misinformed you. “Nostra culpa” does not mean “we’re sorry.” It means “our fault,” which is not the same thing. Connecticut: “Larry in Bakersfield” sent you an informative letter

clarifying the difference between “i.e.” and “e.g.” However, in his explanation, Larry was grammatically incorrect when he said that i.e. “infers” a list of items. He meant that i.e. “implies” a list of items. A speaker implies, a listener infers. When something is implied, it is suggested without being stated outright. When something is inferred, the listener is in control of drawing a conclusion. So when Larry uses i.e., he’s implying (or suggesting) a list of items. I infer what that list is. East Coast: I laughed as I read the letter from “Larry,” who scolded you for the misuse of “id est” vs. “exempli gratia.” I am a medical editor, so those terms get tossed around a lot in my work. I tell people I remember the difference by thinking “e.g.” is “for eggzample.” Canada: I had to chuckle when I read the letter from “Larry in Bakersfield” about the difference between “i.e.” and “e.g.” Now we know why Latin is a dead language. — M.W., Canada Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
