A Sevier County corrections officer resigned Thursday after being involved in an incident Tuesday morning where Pigeon Forge Police found him slumped behind the wheel of his car and determined he was suffering a health issue. David Kitelinger, 54, of Pigeon Forge, turned in his resignation Thursday “for medical purposes,” Sheriff Ron Seals said.

According to an “ambulance assist report” filed by Pigeon Forge police, Kitelinger “was observed slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle at the traffic light at Parkway and Old Mill Ave(nue)” at 8:19 a.m. Tuesday. He pulled into a parking lot, and when the officer approached, his knees were shaking uncontrollably and he appeared weak, according to the report. The officer noted there was no odor of alcohol from Kitelinger’s breath.

The officer called for an ambulance, and a paramedic determined Kitelinger had a low blood sugar level and recommended he be transported to Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center. Chief Jack Baldwin added that Kitelinger’s vehicle had sustained some damage, including a flat tire, that led officers to believe he could have been in an accident. However, they couldn’t find any signs of damage caused by a car other than a rock that had been knocked lose

along the Spur, he said. Kitelinger was a corrections training officer; he worked at the jail for eight years. Seals acknowledged Kitelinger had an ongoing medical problem before the incident occurred, but after it happened the officer decided he needed to step down from his job at the jail. “He just decided he wanted to resign,” Seals said. “There was nothing forced about it.” n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Teaster was arrested and booked at the Pigeon Forge Police Department, then released. With a misdemeanor citation such as the one Teaster is

SEVIERVILLE — Local Marines are gearing up for an effort that will help bring Christmas presents to thousands of children in the area as they plan their largest annual fundraiser. The group will hold its Toys for Tots Bike Run on Sunday, starting at the Sevier County Fairgrounds and snaking down Chapman Highway on its way to Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. Organizers are hoping to repeat or best last year’s participation by 1,200 bikes as they make preparations to serve a crowd of children they expect to top last year’s record 4,000 recipients of their assistance. Those who take part are asked to bring either $10 or an unwrapped toy for each person riding. Those who just want to come check out all the bikes are asked to do the same. Gates for the event will open at 9 a.m., although the ride won’t kick off until 1 p.m., allowing time for folks to go to church first. There will be food served at the fairgrounds for those who arrive early. Meanwhile, Buddy’s

GATLINBURG — Patti Gallo-Bryant, founder of Single and a Mom Ministry, is ready to celebrate — her second annual Esther Gala is set for Saturday. Held at the Sidney James Mountain Lodge in Gatlinburg, the gala stems from “The Esther Project,” a mission to build a home for single mothers in the Smoky Mountains. This year’s event will also help benefit an orphanage in Kenya. “This year is going to be totally different from last year,” Gallo-Bryant said. “Last year, everything was all flowery and white. This year, it will have a more earthy, African theme.” The Esther Gala — which begins with pampering and ends with dinner and a special ceremony — is open to pregnant single mothers and mothers who have had babies in the past year. Gallo-Bryant’s ministry has grown to nearly 900 women and their babies. Each one is like a daughter or sister to her, and she proudly recalls their latest accomplishments: One mom is currently working on her master’s degree. One is studying criminal justice, another early childhood education. Last month, she moved her Harvest Thrift Store from the Parkway in Gatlinburg to the Covered Bridge in the Glades. It is now known as The Harvest Baby Boutique and Florist, and items are free of charge for single mothers in need. “It was painful to close the doors (of the old location), but I knew there were better things ahead for me,” she said.

Patti Gallo-Bryant, left, Single and a Mom Ministry founder, and Paula Lancaster, Family Dollar store manager, display a bag filled with Thanksgiving food for a family of four, available at Family Dollar for $20. “This suits her,” friend Paula Lancaster said of the new shop. Lancaster, manager of the 1359 E. Parkway, Gatlinburg Family Dollar, is teaming up with Gallo-Bryant again to raise awareness for Family Dollar’s Toy Drive. “I’ve witnessed miracles you’ve never seen before,” Lancaster said of the fundraiser. “People were so thankful. I have a lot of women who come in who I refer to Patti. It’s like God is using us as a vessel.” Family Dollar is currently accepting clothes, toys and donations for the drive. Just in time for Thanksgiving, it is also offering a reusable shopping bag filled with enough food for a family of four for $20. “It’s got things like stuff-

ing, sweet potatoes, ham, cornbread mix, cranberry sauce, marshmallows, vegetables and a bottle of sparkling cider,” Lancaster said. The start of GalloBryant’s home for single mothers and children could be a reality soon. “I can’t get my mind off of having them stay upstairs (above the shop) — but only if God says so.” She looks around her new boutique — where she will continue to minister and spread the word about her mission — and smiles. “This has always been the desire of my heart.” For more information on the Single and a Mom Ministry, call 323-3203. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

state/nation/world Shelby businesses face tax fraud

MEMPHIS (AP) — Tennessee’s revenue commissioner says the indictments of 12 small Shelby County retail businesses on sales tax fraud charges should be a deterrent for business owners thinking of keeping the state’s money. Revenue Commissioner Charles Trost said Thursday most of the 12 convenience store, grocery and restaurant owners face charges of property theft over $10,000. All 12 face sales tax fraud charges, with many showing alleged discrepancies on tax forms. Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons says the total unpaid amount was about $160,000. If convicted, the defendants could receive from one to six years in prison.

Lil Wayne released from jail

NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne was freed from jail Thursday after serving eight months in a gun case, emerging with a hot new album, well-wishes from a former president and a deepened appreciation for his fans. “Welcome home, Weezy!� the rap star’s Facebook page proclaimed, using one of his nicknames, after his morning release from the Rikers Island jail complex. He was freed at a location jail officials and his lawyer wouldn’t disclose. His managers have said he planned to head for his home in Miami, where they’re planning a welcomehome party Sunday.

Teton County sheriff’s Sgt. Lloyd Funk says the deputy accidentally left the box on a bumper after a canine training exercise Oct. 27. It contained nearly an ounce of methamphetamine.

Indonesian volcano erupts again

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) — A new eruption at Indonesia’s Mount Merapi volcano has forced authorities to widen the “danger zone� to 12 miles from the fiery crater. There were no immediate reports of new casualties from the 11:30 p.m. explosion. Thousands of villagers and refugees in emergency shelters were loaded into trucks and taken to stadiums in cities far from Mount Merapi. Others, covered in soot, jumped onto motorcycles and into cars. Subandrio, an official with the volcano’s monitoring agency, said authorities had decided to push back the so-called ’safe zone’ to 12 miles.

Ramsey Prong Road closed next week Submitted Report NATIONAL PARK — Ramsey Prong Road in the Greenbrier Area will be closed for bridge repairs from Monday through Nov. 12, according to Alan Sumeriski, Great Smoky Mountains National Park chief of facilities management. For safety reasons the Ramsey Prong Road beyond its junction

with the Porters Creek Road will be closed to all use. Park officials have advised that all vehicles will have to be out of the Ramsey Cascades Trailhead by Sunday night. According to Sumeriski, “Bridge inspections performed by the Federal Highway Administration showed deficiencies which will be corrected during the closure period. One

bridge will be stripped to the support beams, and be totally re-decked and get new bridge rails, while the other will receive less extensive repairs to both end of the wooden bridge deck. “Barring any extreme weather conditions, rock slides or other complications we should reopen the road by the end of the day on (Nov. 12).�

Free lung screenings at UT Med Center Nov. 17 Submitted Report KNOXVILLE — Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Physicians at the University of Tennessee Medical Center are working to raise awareness of COPD, a lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. In conjunction with World COPD Day on Nov. 17, UT Medical Center is providing free lung function screenings from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Heart Lung Vascular Institute. To schedule an appointment for a screening, call (865) 305-6970. “While smoking is the primary risk factor for COPD, several other environmental and hereditary factors

also can put someone at risk,� said Dr. James Shamiyeh, a pulmonologist at UT Medical Center. “COPD claims the lives of more than 120,000 Americans every year, yet there are so many people out there who don’t even realize they suffer from COPD and, therefore, aren’t being treated for it. I’d strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of these free screenings.� COPD is a disease in which the lungs are

damaged and airways are partially obstructed, making it difficult to breathe. In addition to smoking, Shamiyeh says there are several other COPD risk factors, including long-term exposure to chemical fumes, vapors and dust; history of childhood respiratory infections; heredity. While there is no cure for COPD, and the damage caused to lungs cannot be reversed, there

are several treatment options available. The pulmonary function tests provided and administered by physicians and staff at UT Medical Center will consist of a five-question evaluation and a basic spirometry (simple and painless breathing test to gauge how well your lungs work). The spirometry test can detect COPD long before significant symptoms are detected.

HAVERTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Philadelphia-area man didn’t let an ambulance ride stop him from casting his vote. Eighty-three-year-old Charles Gorby persuaded an emergency crew to stop and let him vote Tuesday as they took him home after a two-week hospital stay. Since the polling place was only about a block from Gorby’s Havertown home, the crew agreed. Gorby voted from a stretcher with his legs protruding from under the voting booth’s curtain. Gorby tells the Delaware County Daily Times he felt it was his responsibility to make it to the polls if he was able. He tells the paper that “voting is the least you can do� as a citizen.

Higher elevations of park get snow; more expected Wire Report NATIONAL PARK — Snow has fallen in the upper elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains as a prelude to more forecast for today. The higher points of the mountains had snow Thursday afternoon, ahead of a predicted 3 to 7 inches on Friday. Scattered flurries were expected in the valley.

Barbecue will provide a meal for participants once they arrive in Knoxville. At the park there, entertainment will also be provided in the form of two musical acts, Kelly Stout and Hand Over Fist, scheduled to perform, Assistant Coordinator Michelle Long says. The popular annual gathering provides the largest portion of the budget for the local Toys for Tots operation of any of their events, drawing about a third of the funding, Toys for Tots Coordinator John Linnert says. “We’re just hoping we’ll have as many or more this year as we did last year because this event is critical for what we do,” he explains. “It is our biggest fundraising event and it provides a good percentage of the money we raise.” That money and the toys donated will be distributed to thousands of children whose families find themselves unable to provide Christmas gifts this year. With the ongoing economic woes and the local unemployment rate, Linnert says he believes the requests for help this year may even top last year’s astounding number. “Things are just so tough and there are so many families that are struggling,” he says. “I had people calling me as far back as Labor Day asking when they need to sign up.” Those sign-ups will be held from 2-7 p.m. Nov. 29-30 and Dec. 2, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 4. Distribution of the toys will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 18. All that work will be done at the new Marine Corps League headquarters in Suite 43 at the Pigeon Forge Outlets, commonly known as the red roof mall, on the Parkway, Linnert says. For more information on the ride, call 4299002 or e-mail johnlinnert@mcl1206.com.

COCKE COUNTY — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Thursday a skull has been found in a rural, wooded area of Cocke County. Officials on the scene say the skull was located less than a mile from where it is believed Megan Maxwell disappeared, according to media reports. Officials did not confirmed the skull belongs to Maxwell. Officials say she is the only person reported missing in Cocke County. Several Knoxville broadcast media outlets reported that the TBI says the skull was found off Ponderosa Road near Parrottsville. It has been taken to the University of Tennessee Anthropology Department to see if they can identify it, WBIR reported. Searchers were looking for more remains Thursday. Maxwell, 19, was last seen on, April 26, 2009, after checking in on her father early that morning, reports said. Her burning car was found on the side of the road. The skull was about a mile away from that location. Since then, searchers have combed the surrounding area for any sign of the missing woman.

facing, that’s normal procedure, Police Chief Jack Baldwin said. “That happens quite frequently. We do it all the time with misdemeanor citations, as do other departments, so we don’t just fill up the jail with misdemeanors,” Baldwin said. Teaster gave police a statement acknowledging he had left the scene. “I was traveling north on the parkway and accidentally struck a red Aztec while turning on my ipod,” he wrote. “I was not trying to flee the scene of the accident. I panicked and tried to call two officers I knew but one is no longer an officer and the other was off duty instead of calling 911, I made a mistake but now I will know what to do next time i have an ACCIDENT (sic).” The case is set for trial in Sevier County General Sessions Court Dec. 15. It isn’t clear what, if any, impact the newest charge will have on Teaster’s probation. He has not been charged with violating the terms of his probation.

The Sevier County office of the state Department of Probation did not return calls seeking information on his status. In the 2008 wreck, Teaster was initially alleged to have been driving under the influence at the time of the incident. The wreck happened at about 2:15 p.m. May 4; Teaster was driving on Kingfisher Drive when he apparently lost control of his Jeep in a curve. Both he and Chesney were thrown from the vehicle. Special prosecutor Steve Garrett said the state did not pursue the DUI allegations due to discrepancies with the blood sample taken after the wreck. Teaster is a diabetic and uses an insulin pump, which was ripped from his body during the wreck. That could have affected the test results as well, Garrett said. Chesney’s family filed a civil suit against Teaster after the wreck. That suit has not been resolved. Teaster remained a volunteer assistant coach with the high school as of last season. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Bill and Melinda Gates tour Tennessee schools By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and wife Melinda visited Tennessee on Thursday to get a firsthand view of an overhaul in the state’s education system that they helped encourage with their foundation’s $90 million grant to Memphis schools. The couple met with outgoing Gov. Phil Bredesen and Gov.-elect Bill Haslam in Nashville, a day after visiting schools in Memphis. “We came to Tennessee to see the bold reforms that are happening here, thanks to Gov. Bredesen and the Legislature’s work,� Melinda Gates said at a press conference at the governor’s mansion. “We’re really impressed with the many partnerships that have come together to focus on kids and kids’ outcomes.� Tennessee this year was among the first two states to win the federal Race to the Top competition, netting the state more than $500 million in grants. Changes adopted by the Legislature this year to qualify for the grants included using testing data as the basis for at least half of teacher evaluations. Bill Gates said he and his wife “came here to learn, to see what’s going on (and)

to encourage the willingness to try the new approaches.� “This idea of measuring teachers is very important, because a teacher wants to know what they can do better,� he said. Haslam said he’s eager to encourage future improvements to Tennessee’s education system. “One of the reasons I’m excited about being the next governor is the incredible momentum around education reform,� the newly elected Republican said. “The discussion we had was incredibly energizing to me. Bredesen, a term-limited Democrat who leaves office January, said he expects the changes in education to last through several administrations. “We used the Race to the Top and the Bill and Melinda Gates money in Memphis to be a pivot point to make a lot of changes in education,� he said. “Which ultimately will outlive by far either that grant or the Race to the Top involvement.� Haslam said there’s more to education reforms than winning the Race to the Top competition. “The $500 million is wonderful, but it’s only great if we really use it to change course,� he said.

Hazel R. O’Leary said she was pleased the ruling allowed the university to sell the share, but said the $20 million endowment was excessive. The ruling says the restricted endowment would generate $1 million a year. O’Leary said evidence was presented to the judge that Fisk’s costs to display the art would only be about $130,000 a year. “The funds that will be produced from this endowment will generate many

times the amount actually needed to maintain the gallery, support the Collection and provide for art education,� the school said in a statement. The Tennessee Attorney General’s office said in a statement it was disappointed with the ruling because it was contrary to the donor’s wishes. Attorney General Robert Cooper is involved in the case because his office has jurisdiction over charitable giving in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Fisk University can sell a share of its Stieglitz art collection, but the bulk of the proceeds must go to an endowment for the display of the artwork, a judge ruled in an order released Thursday. To fend off bankruptcy, the historically black university wanted to sell a 50 percent stake in the collection for $30 million to the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Ark. Fisk has argued it is a financial burden to maintain and display the 101-piece collection donated by the late painter Georgia O’Keeffe. The ruling by Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle said Fisk can keep $10 million of the funds for the university and the remaining $20 million would go into an endowment that would support the cost of displaying the artwork. Lyle said in her ruling that this plan meets O’Keeffe’s wishes to have the artwork in Nashville and provides money to support the display even if Fisk closes. O’Keeffe donated the art to Fisk in 1949 because the school, founded in 1866, educated blacks at a time when the South was segregated. In a statement issued Thursday, Fisk President

WASHINGTON — A major study shows giving heavy smokers special CT scans can detect lung cancer early enough to modestly lower their risk of death — the first clear evidence that a screening test may help fight the nation’s top cancer killer. Now the hurdle is deciding who should get these spiral CT scans and how often, because the tests carry their own risks, including repeated radiation exposure and a lot of false alarms that trigger unnecessary repeat testing and even surgery. “This finding has important implications for public health, with the potential to save many lives among those at greatest risk for lung cancer,� said National Cancer Institute Director Dr. Harold Varmus, who released the study results Thursday. But, “we don’t know the ideal way yet to do this screening.� Specialists with the American Cancer Society — which hadn’t recommended the screening because of lack of evidence — planned to evaluate the findings when the full data is published in a few months. Until then, “the best advice we can give is to encourage people to have conversations with their doctors about whether lung cancer screening is right for them,� said chief medical officer Dr. Otis

“This finding has important implications for public health, with the potential to save many lives among those at greatest risk for lung cancer. (but) we don’t know the ideal way yet to do this screening.� — National Cancer Institute Director Dr. Harold Varmus

Brawley. Standard chest X-ray screenings haven’t proved powerful enough to reduce lung cancer deaths, so researchers turned to spiral CTs, where a rotating scanner views the lungs at various angles to spot growths when they’re about half the size that regular X-ray can. But previous small studies have produced mixed results about whether the CTs work. The massive National Lung Screening Trial enrolled 53,000 current or former heavy smokers with no initial symptoms of cancer to try to settle the debate. It found 20 percent fewer deaths from lung cancer among those screened with spiral CTs than among those given chest X-rays, the NCI said Thursday, a difference significant enough that it ended the study early. The actual difference: Of those who got a spiral CT, 354 died over the eight-year study period compared with 442 deaths among those who got chest X-rays. But with about 200,000 new lung cancers diag-

nosed in the U.S. each year and 159,000 deaths, even a modest reduction could translate into big benefits. Today, lung cancer usually is diagnosed at advanced stages, and the average five-year survival rate is just 15 percent. Still, the best advice to avoid lung cancer, stressed NCI’s Varmus: Stop smoking. Smokers and former smokers have long sought scans in the hopes of earlier lung cancer detection, even though insurance seldom covers the $300 to $400 test in people who have no symptoms. “Clearly it saves lives,� said Dr. Stephen Swensen of the Mayo Clinic, among the 33 sites that conducted the massive study. But, because it carries the burden of unnecessary tests and treatment, “society has to figure out if we can afford this.� “We want to make sure what we recommend is appropriate rather than everybody going out and asking for it,� added Dr. Edward F. Patz Jr. of Duke University, who was on the committee that helped design and oversee the study.

Obama sets bipartisan talks WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sought Thursday to retake the political initiative after a bruising election, inviting Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to meet with him on the economy and jobs. The White House said Obama would consider extending Bush-era tax cuts even for upper income Americans for a year or two. The Nov. 18 meeting will be closely watched, in particular, for any

signs of cooperation between Obama and his two frequent Republican antagonists, incoming House speaker-in-waiting John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They will be joined by the top Democrats in Congress,

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Four other lawmakers will attend: Republicans Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, and Democrats Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.

commentary

Take-back strategy not good for us It may not get much done, but the first session of the 112th Congress, convening in January, will be fun to watch. The most interesting commentary on the 2010 midterm elections was from Republican partisans and their Tea Party cousins as they rhetorically, warily circled each other on the morning after. The man who managed Senator-elect Rand Paul’s primary campaign in Kentucky, David Adams, had this to say: “I’m hoping for a lot of fireworks in Washington over who takes control of who. If Republican leaders think for a minute they’re going to suck us in and continue business as usual, they’re wrong. ... We’ve changed the shape of the debate.” His candidate, meanwhile, was saying he’s going to Washington “to take our government back!” To when? The early 20th century, I’d guess. The other interesting question is, are they going to continue to try to take it back from both Democrats and Republicans? A Republican who’s been there, former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, said the other day that his party must “co-opt” the new Tea Party lawmakers, all of them nominally Republican, “as soon as they get to Washington.” He continued: “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples.” South Carolina Sen. DeMint seems be the man in the middle (or the center) of the fireworks soon to be lit in the Capitol. He is a Republican, of course, but he was one of the few establishment figures supporting Tea Party heroes against his fellow Republicans. This is what he had to say to the victors last Wednesday morning: “The establishment is more likely to try to buy off your votes than to buy into your limited-government philosophy. ... Tea Party Republicans were elected to go to Washington to save the country — not be co-opted by the club. So put on your boxing gloves. The fight begins today.” DeMint was urging the newcomers not to seek earmarks or fancy committee assignments in return for loyalty to Republican leadership. No compromise! Tea Party strategists, if anyone can call them that, already have a list of future Republican targets, including Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and Roger Wicker of Mississippi. If they go after those three or others, they will likely do it again by putting candidates in Republican primaries. Harsh. No one knows where the Tea Party is headed. Hell, few understand what the Tea Party is. I would guess they have three choices: 1. Fold themselves into the Republican Party. 2. Try to take over the Republican Party. 3. Try to form a real third party. They all say they will never sell out, but the temptations are great and will become greater when the new Congress organizes. They are not strong enough (yet) or disciplined enough to knock out the Grand Old Party. And third party formation is exceedingly difficult in the United States. The two “major” parties survive by adopting the issues of potential rivals and because election laws, state by state, are really contracts between the Republicans and the Democrats to preserve each other and strangle third parties by keeping them off the ballot with arcane laws about everything from voter petitions to candidates’ eligibility. But still ... A recent poll of 10 key congressional districts by The Hill newspaper indicated that 54 percent of voters would like to see a third party. And exit polling on Election Day showed, surprisingly, that four out of 10 voters said they identified with the goals of the Tea Party, which seem to be deconstructing government, eliminating taxes and giving everyone a gun. I think it will be fun to watch and not good for the country. But that’s only one man’s opinion. Democracy, with all its imperfections, is better and more important than me. I woke up the morning after remembering the concession speech years ago of a friend named Dick Tuck, who lost a state legislative election in California and said: “The people have spoken — the bastards!” — 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

Playoff passion Perennial contenders GP, SCHS deserve support of home fans tonight As surely as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, when the first week of November rolls around, GatlinburgPittman and Sevier County can be counted on to be in the high school football playoffs. This year — with the playoffs beginning tonight — is no different. GP’s Highlanders are in for the 18th straight season; SCHS’s Smoky Bears are in for the 14th time in the last 16 years. What the Highlanders have accomplished is testament to Coach Benny Hammonds’ leadership skills, just as what the Smoky Bears have accomplished is a credit to Coach Steve Brewer. Equally, the success of both programs is a tribute to the players who have bought into the coaches’ philosophies year in and year out, putting in the hard work and making the sacrifices necessary to become perennial playoff teams. Few schools across the state can match these local programs for consistency. Sevier County will come into tonight’s game against 6-4 Farragut looking for redemption for last season. After going

10-0 in regular season for the first time in school history, the Smoky Bears lost in the first round to Bearden when a twopoint conversion went awry. It should be noted that, although SCHS’s record is 8-2, it is not unprecedented that it could make a run for the state championship. In 1999, the only year the Smoky Bears won a state title, they started 5-3 and won their last eight games. Gatlinburg-Pittman takes a 7-3 record into its first-round game tonight at Hammonds Field against Sullivan North, which is also 7-3. The Highlanders, seeded fourth, are looking to make their deepest run ever into the playoffs and appear to have a somewhat favorable early draw — if they can get past the Sullivan County team. It would mean a lot to both the local squads to have big turnouts tonight in front of home crowds. Both teams traditionally draw well at home, but having noisy, enthusiastic fans could help to give both teams that “12th-man” advantage. The players who wear the blue

and gold of Gatlinburg-Pittman and purple and white of Sevier County deserve that support. While many of their peers are working afternoons or simply going home to play video games or park themselves in front of the television, these young athletes are spending countless hours on the practice field, in the weight room and doing their conditioning for the love of the sport and to represent their schools. Temperatures are supposed to be brisk tonight — perhaps in the 30s by halftime of each game. It’s perfect football weather. There’s nothing like bundling up, drinking hot chocolate and getting a hot dog from the concession stand while cheering on the home team. Tickets for high school playoff games are a bargain at $8. What a way to spend a fall Friday evening. The football players and coaches at Gatlinburg-Pittman and Sevier County would appreciate it if you would join them for the festivities.

Political view

Public forum Rally to Restore Sanity shows it’s time we all work together

Editor: Having attended “The Rally to Restore Sanity” put on by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in Washington, D.C., I must confess I had a surprising experience. After waking up late (9 a.m.) and turning on CNN to see if anyone was attending, the news was “not that many people are here. We do expect more to show up later.” So my brother (68 years old) and me (60 years old) had a plan to drive to a Metro Train Station and ride the train in. Simple in and out of D.C. Yeah, right. We drive to the Metro and there is a parking lot full of cars. We look but can’t find a parking space, so we move on, and as we leave the Metro parking center we see at

least a half-mile of people waiting to get into the Metro Station. We realize we should have gotten up earlier, but we’re on a mission, so we say we’ll never get there on the train so we’ll just drive to the National Mall and get a cab to the rally. $10 later we’re walking towards the rally. Squeezing, pushing, wall-to-wall people everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, front to back, packed in like sardines. There were 215,000 to 250,000 people with some of the funniest signs I’ve seen in a long time. Some signs I especially liked: “I’m already tired of carrying this sign”; “I’m mad, but I think I can hold out a little longer”; a picture of George W. Bush and under his picture it says “I know I screwed up. I’m just glad they’re blaming the black guy.” There was babies, children, college kids and old guys like my brother and me and they

were all polite, respectful, just decent people. Being a 19-year-old during Woodstock, I asked myself, “Is this another Woodstock?” (minus the rain, nudity and drugs). Maybe we’re now the “silent majority. Funny how life goes. The show was funny and thoughtful, but the main theme was, Isn’t it time to work together, quit the yelling and chaos. Who’s really listening any more? Hey, Glenn Beck’s rally had 87,000. (Same company did both crowd estimates.) Who knows, maybe we can restore sanity through comedy (Jon Stewart has been polled as the newsperson America most trusts.) Amazing, a comedy news program is more trusted than all the pundits on real and (faux) news programs. John Northcote Gatlinburg

Bears and Highlanders at home as playoffs begin tonight

Purple defense faces run-heavy Admirals By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

The Bears would like another raucous crowd, like this one from Sept. 17’s Cocke County game, tonight versus the visiting Farragut Admirals.

SEVIERVILLE — Tonight Sevierville’s Smoky Bears start their quest for state glory with a stiff challenge — District 4-AAA’s runner-up Farragut Admirals. “I’m really pleased with both sides of the ball right now,” Sevier County head coach Steve Brewer said Thursday. “And we’re going to need both sides tomorrow. “Special teams, a turnover here, a penalty there could play a huge factor in what happens.” The young Farragut squad started out the season a lackluster 2-3, having lost to DobynsBennett, Knox Catholic and Riverdale. But since then the team’s gone an impressive 4-1, with the lone loss coming by a touchdown to powerhouse Maryville. “They’ve suffered some adversity,” Brewer said. “They’ve lost a couple of players due to injury and lost the assistant coach (40-year-old assistant Ryan Shoup, who died last month). And they’ve done a remarkable job, really,

G-P preparing for slugfest with Raiders By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — They’re still having fun, and they don’t want it to end tonight. The GatlinburgPittman Highlanders football team (7-3) has kept its emotional level high since last week’s heartfelt 35-8 win over county and District 3-AA rival Pigeon Forge Tigers, and the Blue and Gold remain geared up for what they hope is just the beginning of a deep playoff run when the Sullivan North Golden Raiders (7-3) come to town for a 7 p.m. kick off at Hammonds Field. “Against Pigeon Forge, I think we were emotionally into the ball game,” said 39th-year Highlanders head football coach Benny Hammonds. “Any time you add your emotions to what you’re supposed to be doing in football, you just play at a higher level. Attitude is where it all starts at, and that’s the framework for a good football game. “I hope that this means something to us in these

playoffs. I want us to hang around for as long as we can. You’ve got to play as well as you can every game. This game certainly gets it started, and we won’t have any opportunity next week if we don’t play well (tonight). I think we’re mature enough to understand that. “I think our seniors are still enjoying football right now. I think they’re glad to be here. I just really think they’re enjoying it right now, and they’re playing at a high tempo. Some teams get their fill of football right now, but I don’t get that sense from this group.” After battling through a tough season of injuries, Hammonds is most encouraged by the play of

some of the younger boys who have stepped up to fill new and expanded roles, including sophomores Blade Durbin — the younger brother of senior receiver Ron — Clay England, Justin Horner and Jamel Foster. “The thing I like right here in these playoffs is the fact that we’ve had so many boys injured this year, that now we’ve got some experience with these younger boys,” said Hammonds. “There’s three or four of these sophomores that’s playing really good football.” At the moment, the Highlanders feel strong enough mentally for a day off of practice this week. G-P gave its banged-up bodies a rest on Tuesday, election day, but didn’t allowed the missed time to translate into missed work. “We went longer than normal on Monday and tried to get everything covered that we normally cover in two days,” said Hammonds. “And we spent a little extra time on Wednesday, covering See G-P, Page A12

lenges.� All the way the Admirals have ridden a spread running game, following behind shifty quarterback Cody Rule and a multi-faceted rushing attack. Sevier County defensive coordinator Kenny Ratledge said he’s preached fundament assignment football to his defense all week in preparation for Farragut. “They run the inside zone play, and we haven’t seen that,� Ratledge said. “We’ve worked hard all week on gap soundness. We showed them all week on film, if you have a gap where you don’t have body in it, they’re going to find it.� Defense has been the strength of the Bears for much of the year, as they’ve allowed just 11 points per game. They’ve played

exceptionally well against the run. “I like their mindset, I think our defensive coaches are doing a tremendous job just coaching our guys and putting them in the right place,� Brewer said. “The players are doing what they’re supposed to be doing as well. They come ready to play, and they don’t like to give up points. “When we take them out and put our back-ups in, the coaches don’t have to holler, because those guys are on them. They don’t want them to give up any points. And it’s really paid off. They really take pride in what they do, and I think it’s been a great year for us on defense.� “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, Farragut or Unicoi County,� Ratledge added. “They just want to play and get after it, and hopefully they can do that again (tonight).� Offensively, the Bears

have played well this year except for the occasional lapse in consistency. “We’re averaging over 32 points a game,� Brewer said. “We had a bad quarter at Morristown East — the second quarter was awful. And then we come out and score 17 points on 17 plays. I guess that’s what’s frustrating about it, and that’s what makes us think that we need to be producing more offensively. There are times where it looks like we ought to be able to do that every time. We’ve gotten more consistent, but every once in a while we’ll go AWOL. We’ll scratch our heads and wonder what happened, but offensively I love what we’re doing.� While the season started out iffy, with the Bears dropping two games after winning their first two, the Purple and White have reeled off six-straight wins. That’s impressed the head coach.

“I didn’t know which direction we’d go after our second loss,� Brewer said. “I really just didn’t know when we found ourselves down in the standings how we’d respond. The thing that’s been most pleasing is we’ve come out and taken care of business. Teams that were struggling that we played, we took care of business. (Previously) lots of times our guys would go into games like that not pumped up to play or not really serious about playing, and we could take a game that we should win and make a close game. But these guys just came out and played. It didn’t matter whether we were playing a strong team or a struggling team — these guys just came out and played hard.� It will take that same kind of effort tonight to beat Farragut. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Steelers’ Harrison fined $20,000 for hit on Brees PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been fined $20,000 for a late hit Sunday on Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the third time the NFL has fined him this season for a dangerous tackle. The penalties total $100,000, including a $75,000 fine for his Oct. 17 helmet hit that left Browns

wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi with a concussion. “The amount of money is becoming an issue,� Harrison said Thursday. “The fines that they issued to me, two of them weren’t even called penalties. I don’t even know what to say anymore.� The $75,000 fine was handed out the week the

NFL adopted its tougher stance on hits to the head and neck, a policy that briefly led Harrison to consider retiring. Harrison also was fined $5,000 for a hard hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young on Sept. 19. Harrison was summoned to New York to meet Tuesday with NFL Commissioner Roger

Goodell to discuss the NFL’s stricter enforcement of dangerous hits. Harrison termed the meeting “semiproductive,� and he said it included a discussion about the Brees hit. On that play, Harrison was given a roughing-thepasser penalty for tackling Brees from behind after the quarterback threw a pass.

SEC FOOTBALL INVESTIGATION

Payment sought in Cameron Newton recruitment Black cloud descends on Heisman frontrunner By DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer A man who said he represented Auburn quarterback and Heisman hopeful Cameron Newton during his recruitment out of junior college last year asked for payment to secure his commitment to Mississippi State, according to former MSU player John Bond. “During the 2009 football season, I was contacted by a former football teammate, who represented to me that he was speaking for the Newton camp,” Bond said Thursday in a statement given to The Associated Press through his attorney at the law firm Butler Snow in Jackson, Miss. “He told me that Cam Newton wanted to play at Mississippi State, but that a specified payment would have to be made. “I reported the conversation to the Mississippi State Athletic Department,” Bond said. “I was told by the Athletic Department that Mississippi State would

not respond to the overture that was made to me, and that Mississippi State would continue to recruit Cam Newton as it does any other football recruit.” Auburn officials didn’t immediately responded to messages seeking comment. ESPN.com, which first reported the story, is citing unidentified people saying Bond’s former teammate Kenny Rogers was the one soliciting payment. ESPN.com reports the school refused to get involved with Rogers, who has separately come under scrutiny from the NFL Players Association and the NCAA. In a statement, the school said “we are comfortable that representatives of Mississippi State University’s interests conducted themselves appropriately and in compliance with all NCAA bylaws.” Newton’s father, Cecil Newton, tells The Associated Press that the family denies any allegations and is “cooperating with the investigation.” MSU compliance director Bracky Brett refused to comment in a text message to the AP.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS BASKETBALL

Tennessee Vols hoops tops undersized Brevard 91-42 KNOXVILLE -- Plenty of new faces hit the court in Thompson-Boling Arena on Wednesday night in Tennessee’s exhibition opener. One in particular stood out. Freshman Tobias Harris, one of three newcomers who started, scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds as the Vols ran past Division II Brevard College 91-42 before 17,878 in Thompson-Boling Arena. “Tobias was Tobias,” UT coach Bruce Pearl said. “He’s just solid. Finishes around the basket. Moves well for a big guy. Had a couple unforced turnovers. I thought Tobias was fairly representative of what we’ve been seeing. Probably can play a little better.” Junior Scotty Hopson scored a team-high 17 points and connected on three of his four attempts from 3-point range. “Whenever I shoot that way, that’s a great percentage,” Hopson said. “I just want to stay positive and do as many great things on the basketball floor as I can.” Hopson did plenty of good things in his 21 minutes, and there were contributions from all over the roster on Wednesday. Senior Melvin Goins and freshman Trae Golden combined for seven assists and no turnovers at the point, and Tennessee had 21 assists on the night. Another newcomer, transfer John Fields grabbed

seven rebounds and blocked five shots in just 18 minutes. Renaldo Woolridge had a strong performance off the bench, scoring nine points and grabbing eight rebounds, six of which came on the offensive end. Senior Brian Williams recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds coming off the bench. Williams would have started Wednesday’s game, but he missed some practice time during the week due to injury. Injuries kept forward Kenny Hall (foot) and Cameron Tatum (knee) on the bench. Pearl is hopeful that Hall will return to practice sometime this weekend, while Tatum would have played had Wednesday been a regularseason game, Pearl said. Freshman Jordan McRae, who started alongside Hopson, Harris, Fields and Goins, scored five points and grabbed seven rebounds in his first action with the Vols. But the biggest perfor-

mance from a newcomer was Harris. Not that you would have noticed given his demeanor. “You don’t know if he’s mad or if he’s happy,” Hopson said of Harris. “You might see a little crack of a smile. “Tobias is so smart for his age, he does a lot of great things on the basketball floor,” “His offensive awareness is so high that he does a lot of great things for us.” That included being efficient near the basket. Harris hit six of his eight field goal attempts, and one of those misses was a 3-pointer. Harris, a 6-foot-8 post who was a consensus top 10 recruit coming out of high school in 2010, was just glad to hit the court in Thompson-Boling Arena for the first time in a game. “The fan support was really great today,” Harris said. “Once the real games start, it will be more, and they’ll be excited to see what we have to show.”

This Sept. 21, 1976, file photo shows Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench, right, pouring champagne over Reds manager Sparky Anderson during the celebration in the clubhouse after the Reds won the National League Western Division title, in Cincinnati. Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson died Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010. He was 76. would find me boring.� Ewald knew Anderson for about 35 years as a former Tigers spokesman and baseball writer for the Detroit News. “Sparky Anderson will always be measured by his number of victories and his place in baseball’s Hall of Fame. But all of that is overshadowed by the type of person he was. Sparky not only spiked life into baseball, he gave life in general something to smile about. Never in my lifetime have I met a man as gentle, kind and courageous as Sparky,� he said. Anderson’s win total trails only those of Mack, McGraw, Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre. His overall record was 2,194-1834 and he was a two-time AL Manager of the Year. While Anderson was often surrounded by top players, there was more to his ability than merely filling out a

lineup card. He had the right touch with superstars, and it came in handy when he led the star-studded Reds to World Series wins in 1975-76. He won four National League pennants in Cincinnati from 1970-78, then was stung when the Reds fired him after consecutive secondplace finishes. Anderson took his disappointment to the other league and won there, too, directing the Tigers to the 1984 championship and a division title in 1987. He was voted into Cooperstown by the Veterans Committee. Even then, he showed his usual self-deprecation. Anderson had refused to step foot inside the Hall until 2000 because he felt unworthy. “I didn’t ever want to go into the most precious place in the world unless I belonged,� Anderson said. For a long time, he was a long shot to make the Hall.

Cities when he was informed of Anderson’s death. “Wow. He died way too young. I got a lot of phone calls yesterday about the hospice and the dementia, neither of which I knew about. I wasn’t prepared for this. I don’t know what to say. I’m kind of shocked,� Morris said. “He was a big part of my life, for sure. He had a lot to do with molding me professionally and taught me a lot about perseverance. He was a good guy,� he said. “Baseball will have very few people like Sparky. He was a unique individual. He was a character with a great passion and love for the game.� At Anderson’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. George “Sparky� Anderson got his nickname in the minor leagues because of his spirited play. He made it to the majors for only one season, batting .218 for the Phillies in 1959. Anderson learned to control a temper that nearly scuttled his fledgling career as a manager in the minors, and went on to become one of baseball’s best at running a team. And Anderson won with a humility that couldn’t obscure his unique ability to manage people. “I got good players, stayed out of their way, let them win a lot and then just hung around for 26 years,� he said during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech in 2000. Of course, there was a lot more to him. “To be around me, you have to be a little bit cuckoo,� Anderson said on the day he resigned from the Tigers after the 1995 season. “One day it’s written in concrete, the next day it’s written in sand.

The only notable thing about Anderson as a player was his prematurely graying hair and his nickname. He was playing for Fort Worth in the Texas League in 1955 when a radio announcer, taken by his feisty play, started calling him Sparky. The name stuck. He didn’t. Anderson made it to the majors in 1959 and singled home the go-ahead run on opening day in Cincinnati, which turned out to be the highlight of his playing career. A lighthitting second baseman, he had 12 extra-base hits — zero home runs — and 34 RBIs in 477 at-bats. He was back in the minors the next year, and soon realized it was time to think about another career. He decided to try managing. Survivors include his wife, Carol; sons Lee and Albert; daughter Shirley Englebrecht; and nine grandchildren.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Titans feel Moss on right team, at the right time By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans don’t feel like they took a chance claiming Randy Moss off the waiver wire. They think they got lucky and hit the lottery. The Titans are confident the move will translate into wins — maybe even the missing piece that could deliver owner Bud Adams and coach Jeff Fisher their first Super Bowl. Fisher, the NFL’s longesttenured coach, is known as a player’s coach who holds his guys accountable. The Titans (5-3) are winning with a strong locker room hungry for the franchise’s first postseason win since January 2004, which should keep Moss focused for their eight-game playoff push. All reasons why, though no one else in the NFL wanted the 13-year veteran, the Titans feel Moss now is on the right team at the right time. “This is a great opportunity for him,� Fisher. “It’s a fresh start. We’ve got a great locker room. They’ll accept him. I’m confident he’ll accept his new teammates as well.� Fisher himself is the biggest reason this can work. He has dealt with egos — Adam “Pacman� Jones and Albert Haynesworth and running back LenDale White — coaxing out big

what we usually cover on Tuesday. “We feel like we’re in pretty good shape, as long as we stay mentally tough. Being mentally tough is what’s important once you get into these playoffs, and how bad you want to win a football game and what it means to you.� The Golden Raiders feel much the same way about tonight’s contest, according to quotes reported by various Kingsport media sources from Sullivan North program members. And after winning nine games a year ago and seven more so far this season, North has some reason for its optimism. “They do a good job just running the ball,� said Hammonds. “You can tell that’s what they spend their time working on. “And it looks like their

punt returns, interceptions, sacks and touchdowns before those players wore out their welcome in Tennessee. The Titans eventually traded away Jones and White, and let Haynesworth walk via free agency. Now in his 16th full season, Fisher also has enough clout to make personnel decisions as he sees fit. Fisher is a former player with a good feel when to practice longer or turn a session into a walkthrough, which his players notice. Not that the Titans are expecting any issues. They did their homework on Moss, including talking to backup quarterback Kerry Collins. Moss and Collins were teammates for a year in Oakland, and Collins calls him a great teammate. Fisher also talked to Moss himself and said the receiver is excited to come to Tennessee. “We think that he can help us, and I’m looking forward to seeing him run defense is pretty solid, and they do a good job playing both the run and the pass. “And they’re dangerous too with their skilled people in the return game. “They’ve got a very physical, power running game. They come right at you, and they don’t get any line splits. They line up really tight. That’s going to be a challenge for us, ‘can we stop them physically?’� The Highlanders believe they have the personnel to do just that, so expect an all-out slugfest between the teams tonight. “They made the comment that they would rather play a football game and not throw the football, and our seniors think that’s a challenge to them,� said Hammonds. “I think physically we can match up with them. “We’d like to throw the football, but they’ve got some experience back there (in the secondary), and they do a good job with it.

under those deep balls,� Fisher said. That’s where Moss fits best. He gives offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger the best option he’s had to throw downfield. The Titans have been trying to do just that the past few weeks, attempting to stretch the field for running back Chris Johnson. Kenny Britt had 225 yards receiving on Oct. 25, the best day in the NFL this year, and Nate Washington had a career-best 113 yards in last week’s 33-25 loss to San Diego. Vince Young is the NFL’s top-rated passer at 103.1 for the first time in his career, though the Titans rank 24th with 187.6 yards passing per game. Moss is expected to change that. “He should be a difference maker for the offense and other individual players on our offense,� Heimerdinger said. The biggest benefactor could be Johnson. He is the NFL’s thirdbest rusher with 721 yards, but defenses stack the line against him. And though the Titans are the NFL’s second-highest scoring team (28 ppg), with Britt out a minimum of two weeks with a strained right hamstring, things were bound to get tougher for Johnson. “I know for a fact they can’t put all those guys in the box with that guy

out there,� Johnson said Thursday in quotes shared by the team after a closed practice. Johnson isn’t the only player excited about the arrival of Moss and his 153 career touchdowns. The Titans missed the playoffs last year and lost in their previous two postseason appearances, and they are a half-game back of Indianapolis (5-2) in the AFC South at their bye with five divisional games left down the stretch. They expect Moss to be ready to work when they return to practice Tuesday after their bye week. “We need to make sure we are here to play, we are here to win, and that is what it is all about,� linebacker Will Witherspoon. “I think coach Fisher said it himself. Anytime you have a chance to improve the roster, you need to try to make that move if you can. I think they had the opportunity and took full advantage of it.� Though the man with the West Virginia drawl can be moody, snarling at reporters or responding with candor and wit, past teammates have nothing but good things to say about the 6-foot-4 receiver. Even if Moss didn’t give 100 percent, Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre said he was dangerous. “So, did he hustle on every play? I don’t know if Randy has ever hustled

“We’ve beat (Sullivan North) six times the past eight games, and what’s helped us win more than anything is just smashmouth physical football. We realize we’ve got to do that. “There’s no teams, when you get into these playoffs, that’s slouches. (The Golden Raiders) have got a good football team, and they’ve

lost to three good opponents. But I think being more physical gives you an advantage over any team that you play, and that’s going to have to be a big part of our gameplan on Friday night. “Without that, I just don’t see much of a chance of winning the football game.� chitchcock@themountainpress.com

to open the doors early so he could start work. “As an old teammate, any time I hear negative news about him it angers me because I know the guy,� Evans said. “Listen, he’s the type of guy you want on your team on Sundays.� That’s the Moss the Titans believe they’ve got. Tennessee tight end Bo Scaife said “Thank you Jesus� once they landed the veteran. “I hope he’s mad at those other teams passing him up, and he comes in and gives us the best eight games of his career,� Scaife said.

on every play. That’s just Randy,� Favre said. “But he knows what his value is. He figures, ’Heck, two guys follow me everywhere I go.’ ... They may watch and say, ’He’s jogging, jogging, jogging.’ Boom! 70-yard touchdown.� Vikings receiver Greg Camarillo credited Moss with making him better. Adrian Peterson tweeted he knew Johnson was excited and that he enjoyed his time with Moss. Tom Brady still calls Moss a “great friend.� Saints fullback Heath Evans said Moss had young receivers in the weight room at 6 a.m., bugging coaches

Pick yourself up and keep on going With approximately five million viewers a day, the 1960s Andy Griffith Show remains one of the most-watched TV programs, continuing to gain new fans through widespread syndication. So I would say the large majority of my readers will know of whom I speak when I mention Otis Campbell, the lovable but alcohol-challenged character. I recently saw a portion of the show when Otis was honored as a direct descendant of a Revolutionary War hero. (I don’t recall the last time I watched a complete episode. I have seen them so many times that it only requires a few seconds to recall the entire story.) This “Plaque For Mayberry� episode is one in which Otis “cleans up well,� looking spiffy with his shaved face, suit, tie and new shoes. The episode portrays one of the experiences in which Otis regains some self-esteem. Such experiences help him eventually to sober up for good. All Andy Griffith Shows have a moral lesson. And, as I think of this one, I think of the many TV shows, movies and books in which people begin to get their acts together after having experienced some things in their lives that have brought them low. They have lost their way, have gotten down on themselves and, as psychologists say, have lost their emotional balance. We can learn from Otis and other such characters. And we can learn from the many true stories found in today’s media about the plights of homeless people — those who have received fresh starts and those who remain in desperate straits. But you don’t have to be an Otis or a real person in dire circumstances to take advantage of psychological truths. Maybe you have lost your emotional balance because of some bad turns or excessive stress. Or, maybe you just need a good pick-me-up today. Consider the following: When you brush your teeth, wash your face and hands, bathe or shave, you gain a “fresh-start� feeling. Psychologists and physicians claim that

that just putting on clean socks and some shoes you have not worn in a few days helps you. It takes a day or two for shoes to release moisture they have absorbed. Clean socks and dry shoes feel better on your feet and give you a bounce (even though Otis’ new shoes were too small and hurt his feet). Importantly, the recognition and plaque Otis received gave him a great lift — more of a lift than even Otis realized. When down or discouraged, it is extremely helpful to think of the good things in your life. Recall your positive accomplishments. Think of each thank-you that has come your way. Remember the times when you felt good about having successfully completed a job or task. If you have trophies, certificates or diplomas, look at them and think about what you accomplished to get them. Take them out of that drawer and put them where you can see them often. Think about the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical conditions that helped lead you to each accomplishment and award. Think also of the people who love you. Otis’ wife Rita stuck with him through thick and thin. In the “Plaque For Mayberryâ€? episode, Sheriff Taylor told Otis about all the pain and suffering he had caused his wife, yet she continued to show him unconditional love and tried to help him overcome his challenges. Be thankful for the unconditional love that lifts you up when you are down. Count your blessings and keep on keeping on with determination, help from others and the grace of God. — Š 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, “A Strategy For Winning.â€?

The second international Segmented Turning Symposium is being held next week at Arrowmont. The public is invited to visit Arrowmont’s gallery and view some of the exquisite work being displayed. This is the first time this symposium has been convened in Gatlinburg.

Arrowmont hosting symposium GATLINBURG — The American Association of Woodturners, Segmented Woodturners National Chapter, is holding its biannual international symposium at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts Nov. 12–14. Segmented woodturning is the

process of cutting small pieces of colorful woods, reassembling them into intricate designs and turning them into completed forms on the wood lathe. This skill is shared by woodturners from around the world who meet to show their works,

discuss techniques and continue to expand the art form. The segmented woodturners will display their art in a gallery at Arrowmont during the three days of their symposium. The gallery is open free to view the works.

‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ opens Submitted Report CROSSVILLE — “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever� opened on the Cumberland County Playhouse mainstage on Thursday. Filled with music of the holiday season, this show recounts a church Christmas pageant that threatens to be a disaster, but turns out to reflect the spirit of Christmas. When six delinquent Herdman kids decide to join the church Christmas pageant for

Sunday school desserts and snacks, the event is thrown into turmoil. The Herdmans’ reputation is as “the worst kids in the entire history of the world,� and their rowdy behavior creates chaos for new pageant director Grace Bradley and her Sunday schoolers. But the Herdmans finally understand the spirit of the Christmas story, and help make it “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.� Written by Barbara Robinson, “Pageant� was a short story in McCall’s

magazine, then a bestselling book, then a play, and an ABC television movie, with Loretta Swit of “MASH.� Weslie Webster takes on this role of Grace Bradley. Forty children and a dozen volunteer and professional adults comprise the cast, under direction of Jim and Ann Crabtree for staging and music. Currently at the Playhouse is the love story, “Southern Comforts,� through Nov. 11; and “Brigadoon� through Nov. 21.

Upcoming shows include the musical comedy, “She Loves Me� Nov. 18 to Dec. 18. Tickets for all shows range from $12 to $26. For more information, visit www.ccplayhouse. com or call (931) 4845000.

Advice

Don’t shut grieving stepdaughter out of life despite difficult attitude

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I’ve known my 26-year-old stepdaughter, “Monica,” since she was 5. She never spent much time with her father, but when the first grandchild was born, she came by more often because she wanted a babysitter. Her dad and I were together 21 years before he passed away six months ago. Now when I hear from Monica, all she wants to do is rehash everything that happened at the end of her father’s life. She harangues me about difficult choices I had to make, even though my husband and I discussed those things in advance. I still have two children at home and work full time, and I am trying to deal with my own grief. Monica’s attitude makes it hard to stay in contact. I know she is grieving, too, but I think she feels guilty for not spending more time with her dad before it was too late. She hurt him a great deal over the years. I’m sure Monica is angry that I haven’t called lately, but I just can’t deal with her. I do love her and our grandchild, but am I wrong to want some distance right now? — Still Grieving Dear Still: We understand that you want to avoid being assaulted by Monica. But please know that these things can take on a life of their own, and the relationship may not recover — even when you are ready. Because you love her and the grandchild, we recommend instead that you maintain minimal contact (as much as you can handle at a time) and urge Monica to get grief counseling. You might even offer to go with her. Dear Annie: My wife and I have been happily married for 30 years without any major argu-

ments, until now. Our 22-year-old daughter recently moved into an apartment and discovered that no pets were allowed. This meant her 9-year-old cocker spaniel, who is blind and incontinent, did not have a home. My wife offered to take the dog into our house, and it has been living with us for six weeks. I cannot tolerate the smell and the mess any longer. I told my wife the dog must leave. She said if the dog goes, she goes with it. I do not wish to end my marriage, but I cannot remain here with the dog. What should I do? — Solicitous Spouse Dear Spouse: Something more is going on if your wife of 30 years is willing to throw you over for a blind, incontinent dog she’s had for only six weeks. It’s possible she is reluctant to part with the animal because the dog is her link to her daughter. You need to talk to her and find out why she has put the dog first in your marriage. You might also enlist a neutral third party to referee. Or give your daughter a few months to find a new apartment that is dog friendly. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Shirley” regarding a 5-monthold, 12-pound baby whose mother kept him wrapped in a blanket most of the time was off the mark. Having worked as

a child abuse/neglect investigator, I can tell you that if Shirley had contacted Child Protective Services, we would have opened an investigation based on Petey’s size alone. Keeping the baby wrapped tightly and napping most of the time also sets off alarm bells. If Petey is not given enough attention and stimulation, not to mention food, he could suffer lasting developmental delays or even starve to death. Petey is likely the victim of physical neglect. Shirley should immediately report Petey’s situation to her local Child Protective Services office. Whether or not the child is being neglected, CPS will likely offer Petey’s mother some assistance and monitor the family until the situation improves. — Concerned Social Worker Dear Social Worker: Depending on the child’s birth weight, 12 pounds is not unreasonably low at five months. And Shirley is only guessing the actual weight. Petey sees the pediatrician regularly, and if he were failing to thrive, it would be noticed. We do agree, however, that the situation bears watching.
