SEVIERVILLE — In the first year that county schools will receive funds from the city of Sevierville’s liquor by the drink revenues, Catlettsberg Elementary
will get almost half of the money denoted for schools inside the city. When the city approved the sale of liquor by the drink, it agreed that some funds would be distributed to schools in the city limits. The revenues for
July 2008, when the program started, to January 2010, were $99,991.99. Catlettsburg, which is the newest in the county system, will get $43,426. “At Catlettsburg, the money will be used to furnish the playground equipment,” said Karen
King, director of finance for the school system. The Sevierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the first set of requests without question at its regular meeting Monday. The board reviewed the items after they’d been submitted by the school system as approved in See Funds, Page A3

By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — The families of victims of a number of murders, recent and past, shared their pain Friday with a crowd gathered to honor and remember them during an observance of Victim’s Rights Week. District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn organizes the event each year to give the families that opportunity and to remind local officials and residents of the importance of victim’s rights. Victims’ Rights Week was started in 1981, after an outcry by advocates that the justice system was ignoring victims, treating them as just another piece of evidence in a case, Dunn said. As a result of that outcry, many states have passed amendments recognizing victims’ rights, and offices like his have added personnel to help keep victims informed as cases wind Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press through their courts. Shirley Boling Sanders, mother of Leah Victoria Avril who was killed Nov. 17, 2009, speaks about the continuing loss during the Victims Rights ceremony Friday at the Sevier County Courthouse.

Kindergarten teacher Joyce Dowdy, left, and parent Jenny Cook cheer on participants in the egg race during King’s Academy Field Day on Friday.
SEYMOUR — Students in grades K-5 at King’s Academy got a break from the classroom on Friday to participate in the school’s Field Day. “We’ve been doing this for years,” said Leroy Beam, primary and intermediate grades administrator. “It’s part of their PE program and a great way of wrapping up those skills. We want the kids to learn how to compete, but at the same time, it’s a healthy competition. It’s also a good opportunity to fellowship. We have such great area support — I think the parents enjoy it as much as the kids do.” Events included softball and frisbee throws, the long jump, egg races and team activities such as “the centipede.” There were also relays, where even the youngest participants were able to run a mile. “I almost came in third — I missed it by

You trust God to help you not get hurt, and you have a great time.” “I like all the sports we can do,” added pal Megan Laboy, 10. “My favorite part is the egg race.” Joyce Dowdy, a kindergarten teacher, is also a parent at the school. “My kids went to school here before I taught here,” she said. “I love the environment of this school.

County Commission candidates quizzed on issues EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in a series on candidates for the Sevier County Commission. These are candidates for District 8, Seat A. The same set of questions was sent by The Mountain Press to all candidates in contested races in the May 4 primary. Answers are published in their entirety. District 8 includes the north Sevier County/Kodak area. 1. What do you think the biggest issues facing the county will be in the next four years? GENE BYRD: Purchasing property and building a new high school for Northview/Kodak. Recruiting more industry for better paying jobs for the county while keeping the property taxes low as possible. To work with our Road Superintendent & Sheriff’s Dept. to keep our roads and Community as safe as possible. TROY SELLARS: Without a doubt it is unemployment and jobs. We as a County Commission should do as much as possible to draw new industry to Sevier County. The people of the county need better paying jobs. Several of the tourism related jobs pay little more than minimum wage. I know people that work at a motel in the mornings and have to work at a restaurant in the evening just to get by. 2. Do you support purchasing more industrial property, even in a slow economy? GENE BYRD: Yes. The

economy? TROY SELLARS: As far as tourism goes, Sevier County has been doing a good job advertising the area and that part of our local economy is doing as well as can be expected. If we had a stronger industrial base we would have to worry less about a “seasonal� economy. Better paying jobs would also help the local economy sustain itself instead of relying on tourism. GENE BYRD: I think the County should develop the industry parks they already have to make them more appealing to industries looking to bring jobs to our County. If these are developed we won’t need to change residential areas into industrial causing spot zoning like the County has done to get Lisega into the County.

Park begins four more improvement projects Submitted reports
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is starting four American Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects to improve hiker parking areas and resurface two roads. The $12.2 million for these projects brings total stimulus funding for the Smokies to $77.5 million. The projects: n Repaving the Foothills ParkwayEast, the Smokemont Campground and the Heintooga Ridge Road. n Create new hiker parking areas and repave the roads leading to the popular Little River and Jakes Creek trails in the Elkmont Area. “All the roads to be resurfaced suffer from substantial pavement failure and cracking which allows moisture to seep into the base material where it freezes and thaws, causing the base material to crumble,” said Kevin FitzGerald, the park’s deputy superintendent. “Resurfacing these roads now will prevent us having to make much more expensive repairs a few years down the line as well as providing a safer more enjoyable ride for our over nine million annual visitors.” The Recovery Act appropriated
$3 billion to the Department of the Interior. Of that amount, $750 million in funding goes to the National Park Service. An additional $170 million will be spent in National Park Service roads. The park has received more than $33 million of this funding to continue construction of the uncompleted Foothills Parkway. Work is already under way to repave the Smokemont Campground under a $2.1 million contract. That campground is scheduled to reopen after the work is finished on May 27. A $1.3 million contract was awarded on April 6 to pave three parking areas and to repave all the connecting roads between the Little River Trailhead and the Elkmont Historic District. During the early phases of construction visitor access to Jakes Creek and Little River Trails will be provided, but the area will be closed between July 6 and Aug. 31. Contracts are for the repaving of the Heintooga Ridge Road and the Foothills Parkway East in Cocke County are in the solicitation phase. The Recovery Act funds are part of a stimulus package that is a component of the president’s plan to jumpstart the economy.

the initial agreement for apportioning the money. “The balance of the funds was divided out as evenly as we could among the other schools,” King said. That came out to about $11,000 to the schools, and about $5,500 each for Parkway Academy and the Trula Lawson Center. Most of the schools used the money to purchase computers or new technology. Sevierville Elementary, for example, used $10,985 to buy two computers to be used by students, and two interactive classroom systems, which let teachers make virtual chalkboards that students can use during class. Sevierville Intermediate used $11,133 to buy a similar system and additional hardware for it, as well as a desktop computer system. Sevierville Middle purchased 10 computer systems for its math labs, at a cost of $10,640. Sevier County High School was the only one to

King’s Academy is hosting its Springtime Festival on May 1, a fundraising event open to the community.

For more information on the festival and alumni gathering, call King’s Academy at 577-7227. n ebrown@themountainpress.com
The agency works to establish pride in students as well as instilling good habits to eliminate litter.

use the funds for personnel, with $4,669.53 slated for counselors during summer school. Another $2,433.37 went for ACT vocabulary workshops for all grades. The chemistry labs used $3,097.10 to purchase equipment including a spectrophotometer, and the wellness class bought an electric projector screen for $800, according to the records. Both Parkway Academy and Trula Lawson Center used most of the money to buy new computers. Under state law, when the city began selling liquor by the drink, the state collects the revenues and
retains half. That money is used for the state education fund. The remaining money is returned to the local government, where the city of Sevierville and the county are splitting the funds.

It was Larry’s wish for his family to carry on the tradition of selling automobiles with trust and integrity. He was humbled and proud every time he saw his name on the back of someone’s car. He knew that it was a blessing only the Lord could bestow. Many friends have asked, “What can we do for you in this time of need?� Please help us carry on his wishes of building a successful business in Sevier County by selling automobiles and sharing the Lord with someone today. Faith was the one thing he put above both his family and his dealership family. His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of his life. His hope was to help spread the word to anyone who would listen.
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you and may God bless you and your family. The Larry Hill Family

Sarah Palin testifies in Knoxville By BILL POOVEY Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — Sarah Palin testified Friday about the disruption and hurt caused when her e-mail account was hacked during the 2008 presidential campaign and said outside court that there should be consequences for what happened. She declined to say if she thinks conviction of the 22-year-old defendant should lead to prison or if community service would be punishment enough. “That’s up to the judge,” she said when she stopped to talk to reporters outside the courthouse.
F o r m e r University of Tennessee student David Kernell, the 22-year-old son of a Democratic state lawmaker, is charged with hacking the Yahoo! Palin e-mail account as Palin campaigned in 2008 as the Republican vice presidential candidate. Kernell faces up to 50 years in federal prison if convicted of identity theft, mail fraud and two other felony charges. His lawyer has said the case is a prank and Kernell had no criminal intent.
Asked outside the courtroom if she thought the charges against Kernell were excessive, Palin said, “I don’t know, but I do think there should be consequences for bad behavior.” As Palin walked to the witness stand, some jurors smiled at her. The first question from Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle was, “May I call you Governor Palin?” The former Alaska governor smiled almost constantly through 30 minutes of testimony as she told jurors about the disruption the hacking caused for her family and close friends when their e-mails and phone numbers were publicized on the Internet.

commentary
Three Cheers Park’s new ‘challenge’ designed to be rewarding
Jon Stewart really likes news on Fox It may seem strange, but a cornerstone of the liberal media in America is “The Daily Show” starring Jon Stewart. Younger Americans, in particular, love him, and his sarcastic, cool wit delights leftwingers from coast to coast. That’s because his barbs are overwhelmingly directed at conservatives, although, from time to time, he will mock some far-left loons who are simply too stupid to ignore. Stewart’s current jihad is against Fox News Channel, which he considers to be in the tank for the right wing. Often, the comedian will point out “hypocrisy” at FNC, mainly objecting to criticisms leveled at the Obama administration, which is almost revered on “The Daily Show.” But do you know what? I think Stewart actually likes Fox News. While it is true that he has called FNC “terrible, cynical, disingenuous” and “an autoimmune disorder,” he admits that he and his legion of writers watch often. And while he has told Fox News personnel to go “F” themselves about 600 times, he seems to do that affectionately. My theory is that Stewart has a crush on Fox News, and if you think about it, the speculation makes sense. I simply can’t imagine Stewart and his minions sitting there watching the boring stuff that CNN and MSNBC put out there. But I can envision them lapping up the vibrant debates seen daily on FNC. What kind of material could Stewart get from Wolf Blitzer? Believe me, he gets plenty from Glenn Beck and me. Of course, for Stewart to tell his audience (some of whom are in various states of altered consciousness) that he is a big Fox News fan would break many hearts in San Francisco. Thus, the standard-bearer of liberal TV comedy must fight the good fight against Fox News, even though he may really, really like us. By the way, why are there not any conservative comedians with TV shows? Surely the overwhelming success of the non-liberal Fox News Channel proves there is an audience looking for more traditional presentations. I don’t want to sound racist, but is there a blacklist? Let’s get back to Stewart, who recently called FNC “the lupus of news.” I will concede that, at times, the man seems to be genuinely upset when ObamaCare is compared to socialism. And he gets a bit riled up when global warming is challenged, as well. After Fox News reported that ice masses in the Arctic are actually increasing, Stewart looked ashen. Or maybe it was the lighting. I will admit that I like Jon Stewart, and perhaps that’s why I am rooting for him to like Fox News. He is a great talent, and my sparring with him on TV brings us both great rewards. There is no way I would ever call him a lupus or lumpen or even Lumpy Rutherford. And I’d never tell him to go “F” himself, either. — 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)2009 Bill O’Reilly.
Like peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs and mustard, or bacon and eggs, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and hiking is just a naturally great combination. There are more than 800 miles of trails and, as Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson says, the possibilities are endless. Now a program is being started that encourages folks to combine staying in shape with seeing the beauty of the mountains. It’s called “Reward Yourself — Hike the Smokies Challenge,” which will help visitors reach milestones. Free mileage booklets will be distributed Sunday at the Sugarlands and Oconaluftee visitors centers from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and at the Cades Cove Visitors Center from 1-5 p.m. (After that, booklets cost $1.) Mileage pins will be awarded to those hiking 100, 250 and/or 500 miles, as well as the person being recorded in the “Hike the Smokies” 2010 Web records. ’Course, you don’t need the booklet to do it. Now get started — and don’t forget the peanut butter and jelly.
The Smokies are smokin’; time to see them is now
If you like baseball and root, root, rooting for the home team, then you gotta love the 2010 edition of the Tennessee Smokies. Make no mistake about it — the Smokies are smokin’ and they appear to be loaded. As of Thursday, the Southern League affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, had the best record in all of minor league baseball at 10-2. Five batters were hitting over .300, led by outfielder Tony Campana at .404, shortstop Starlin Castro at .380 and catcher Robinson Chirinos at .364. That doesn’t even include returning all-star first baseman Blake Lalli. The pitching staff, led by Andrew Cashner and Hung-Wen Chen, looks equally strong. Media reports out of Chicago speculate that Cashner, a 6-foot-6, 23-year-old righthander, and Castro, who also has a strong reputation for defense and speed, will be in The Show by midseason, especially if the Cubs continue to struggle. Birmingham is here through Wednesday. The time is now to catch these rising stars while they’re still here.
Seymour Science Club gets down to Earth (Day)
If you happened to be traveling up or down the Spur on Thursday morning or afternoon, you might have seen a group of enthusiastic, six dozen strong, wearing work gloves and neon vests, carrying plastic bags and just having a whale of a time. These mostly kids, with a few adults sprinkled in, were members of the Seymour High School Science Club and they were helping to clean up parts of the national park on Earth Day as part of its annual project. It was the third year the club has participated in conjunction with the park, Tennessee Clean Water Network and Knoxville Rotary Club. Sponsors said it was a win-win situation because, not only were the students helping to clean the park, they were educating people who just saw them walking by the road. Sophomore Brittani King was succinct: “It’s the environment we’re helping,” she said.
Political view
50 years of life teaches that every day above ground is good
Public forum
Editor: I recently celebrated 50 years having been on this earth. Not a lifetime, but a milestone from which I would like to share some of what I have learned. As a child I learned manners and about the Lord. Childhood was rough in some neighborhoods, while valuable friends and teachers made important impact to my younger journeys. As a teenager I learned humility, temptation, anger, jealousness, and that it is hard work in changing one’s path. An early-on work ethic instilled by my mother, stepfather and grandfather would later serve me well in life’s challenges. They were the stepping stones to fulfilling my dreams and beating the odds. As a young adult came much more work and new
directions to ascertain. A farewell to childhood had happened earlier in life. However, two marriages gone astray would teach me adulthood had its own obstacles. Along the way the Lord gave me many trials and tribulations, but when I stopped and leaned on him I was given reward. The Lord led angels to me that lifted me up at my greatest times of need. Just because one never did drugs, joined a gang or got in trouble with the law, did not mean their life was easy. As an adult came many more responsibilities and determined directions. Witnessing that childish behaviors still exist within adults meant new rules to the game of life. At the age of 50 I have served my family, served my country, and served my Lord. By no means am I perfect, but I have come to the realization that one must always keep a part of the child within, one must grow to consider mankind as much as self, and above all we are blessed with heart. It is reaching into heart and helping others that makes
the difference. Coming to work the other day I passed the local cemetery, in it resides many a great person that has gone before me. They have done great works; however their very existence is only marked by a stone. Truth be known, they exist on this earth so long as those whose lives they touched remember them or the media from which their stories are told still exists. My goal at 50: Live life in a manner that touches others with positive impact; not to lay down and let those who have worked hard, but are less fortunate, be trodden over by others; and to walk closer to the Lord along this journey of life. As my friend Rich put it, every day above ground is a good day. What a positive spin on the opportunity to love our family, friends and fellow mankind. Charles Rhodes Seymour

Smokin’ SOUTHERN LEAGUE BASEBALL
Tennessee Smokies off to incredible 13-2 start
SEVIERVILLE — This weekend the Smokies will return home to Sevierville the hottest club in professional baseball at any level. Sporting a 13-2 record, the best nationwide in either minor or major league baseball, the Smokies will be on a seven-game winning streak when they throw out the first pitch tonight against the Birmingham Barons at Smokies Park. Thursday night the Cubs’ Southern League Double-A affiliate improved to 12-2 with a sweep of a double header with the Carolina Mudcats at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, N.C. Neither game was close in the final inning, as the Smokies won 7-3 in game one and 8-1 in game two as the Smokies take the first four games of the series. Game One began was a pitchers’ duel between Tennessee’s Austin BibensDirkxs and Carolina’s Tom Cochran. Bibens-Dirkxs was the better of the two, not allowing on a run on two hits in five strong innings of work. The Smokies scored a single run in both the top of the second and third innings off Cochran. The Smokies added a run in the top of the sixth to go ahead 3-0. Alex Maestri took over on the mound for Tennessee and ran into trouble in the bottom of the

Mudcats right fielder Sean Henry hit a bases-clearing double that scored three runs to tie the game at three. Tennessee quickly responded in the top of the seventh. A missed catch error by Carolina first baseman Yonder Alonso allowed Nate Samson to score to give Tennessee the lead back at 4-3. Tennessee added three insurance runs to give the Smokies a four run lead at 7-3. Maestri pitched a scoreless bottom of the seventh to give Tennessee the game and the series victory. The Mudcats got game two off to a more promising start as Kris Negron hit a solo homer in the bottom of the first to give Carolina the lead.
Tennessee answered quickly in the top of the second with an RBI triple for Brandon Guyer and Ryan Flaherty hit a sacrifice fly to give the Smokies a 2-1 lead. Once again the Smokies had a big inning help push them to victory. Tennessee scored five runs in the top of the sixth inning to help put the game out of reach at 7-1. Wright added another RBI single in the top of the 7th to make it an 8-1 score. Hung-Wen Chen went six innings for Tennessee in game two. The right-hander improves to 3-0 this season. Dustin Sasser pitched a scoreless bottom of the seventh to end the game. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Smoky Bears topple S-D, control destiny in IMAC By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — Disheartenment, redemption, celebration. Members of the Sevier County High School Smoky Bears soccer squad (11-2, 4-1 in District 2-AAA) experienced all three emotions in a 2-1 win over visiting District 2-AAA rival South-Doyle Cherokees on Friday night. The win puts the Bears into uncharted territory, in a first-place tie for the top seat in the district and holding the tie-breaker
over the other top team, South-Doyle. If SCHS can defeat visiting and district rival Seymour on Thursday next week, the Bears will own their first-ever regular season district championship. “But this district, one through six, is incredible,” warned SCHS soccer coach Bryan Atchley, following Friday’s monumental win. “You can’t take anything for granted against any of the teams in this district, because they’re all just solid.” But still, the Bears enjoyed their first taste of first place after the one-goal win.

Bears come back vs. Clinton
Finally: Clausen picked by Panthers By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer
By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Bears had a big come-frombehind win Thursday night against the visiting Clinton Dragons. After trailing 5-1 in the third innings, the Bears (19-8) stormed back for seven-inning 7-6 win. Trailing 5-1 in the bottom of the frame, the Sevier County squad rallied to load the bases for ‘09 All-State selection Zach Flynn. The senior left fielder, who was hitting at a cool .471 clip going into the contest, promptly banged a three-run triple off the 20-foot high wall in center field to draw the Smoky Bears to within one run at 5-4. With the Purple and White back in the fight, coach Lance Traywick pulled starting pitcher Charlie Gavaghan for lefty Brandon Houser to start the fourth inning. See BASEBALL, Page A9

Montgomery signs with King Pigeon Forge All-Region midfielder will be a Tornado PIGEON FORGE — In high school sports it's not often that a great talent drops in your lap, but in 2008 that's exactly what happened for Pigeon Forge girls soccer. Cheyenne Montgomery, a junior from Beech High School in Hendersonville, moved to Pigeon Forge with
her father Daniel and sister Dani, bringing a load of soccer talent with her. Two years and two AllDistrict and All-Region seasons later, the Lady Tigers' senior has signed to continue her career at King College in Bristol. "It's been great (having Cheyenne play soccer at PFHS)," coach Billy Mosely said. "They came in new to the program, her and her little sister, and — gosh — what a player. "With either the girls or
the boys, I've never had a player step on the field and take control like she does." When it comes to praise for the hard-working Montgomery, Mosely gushes like he never has before. "I mean it didn't make a difference where the ball was, she was 110 percent and just never quit," Mosely said. "She won 90 percent of the balls that are kicked from the goals, everything. She's got a lot of skill, she wants See SIGNING, Page A9
NEW YORK — Some big stars came out for the second round of the NFL draft, in front of a nearly full Radio City Music Hall. Unfortunately, Jim Brown, Dan Marino, Ray Lewis and Floyd Little were announcing the selections, not being picked. Instead of Heisman Trophy winners and AllAmericans, the opening choices of Friday night’s second round were Indiana tackle Rodger Saffold, Virginia cornerback Chris Cook, and UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price. Yes, quality players, but hardly headline makers. Until Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen went to Carolina at No. 48 overall — more than 40 picks lower than some projected — few of the early selections drew much response from the surprisingly large audience. Then again, with the way the NFL has turned the first prime-time draft into an event, seeing the venerable theater packed makes sense. So did the opening choices. Needing a blocker
Jimmy Clausen
for quarterback Sam Bradford, the first overall pick the previous night, the Rams ignored several trade offers to stay put. They went for an experienced player who started for four seasons with the Hoosiers. “Oh man, it was a long night,” Saffold said. “Your heart’s racing the entire time and I’m just glad St. Louis called. I didn’t know how much longer I could have taken it.” The Rams fielded plenty of bids for the pick. “We would have had to move significantly back in the second round,” general manager Billy Devaney said, “and what we were going to get we didn’t think it was worth passing up a lineman that we deemed had this much talent.”

“I’m just so proud of these guys,� Atchley said about his players. “They just never stop fighting, and they battle and battle.� Friday night was a perfect example of that. With S-D leading 1-0 midway through the first half, SCHS senior Thomas Garreau had a great chance to tie the game on a penalty kick that was one-on-one with the S-D goal keeper from about 15 yards out. Garreau approached the ball then appeared to hesitate with a few stutter steps before finally kicking a ball that sailed about a foot over the top of the goal, leaving the Bears in a 1-0 hole.
“Thomas, I think, tried to get a little cute on that one, and it was just devastating to him,� said Atchley, whose team trailed by the same 1-0 margin at the half. “I told him at halftime not to get down, though, because he would get another chance in the second half.� Atchley was more prophetic than even he could have imagined, because Garreau found himself with an identical kick with 12:04 in regulation in a 1-1 game. This time he nailed it into the right corner for the game winner. SCHS freshman Nelson Hernandez tied the game 1-1 with a goal less than four minutes into the second half, coming off a sweet crossing assist from a hustling sophomore Arnaud Cavalletto.

Flynn was next at the dish,

Senior Charlie Fields sent a scorcher between short and third moments later, tying the score at 6-6 and moving the winning run into scoring position.

Stocks rise again; Dow up for 8th straight week
Financial leaders cheered by signs WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a deepening Greek debt crisis, global financial leaders declared Friday that the world’s economy is recovering faster than expected from the worst recession in decades. Finance ministers and central bank governors of the world’s 20 major economies credited the massive amounts of government stimulus that have been provided. Their joint statement did not address the Greek debt crisis directly, but it did say the countries were committed to continue efforts to ensure a sustained worldwide rebound from the recession. “The global recovery is better than anticipated largely because of unprecedented efforts of the G-20 countries,” Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters at a news conference with South Korean Finance Minister Yoon Jeung-hyun at the conclusion of the talks. The G-20 is composed of the world’s wealthiest industrial countries plus major emerging economies such as China, Brazil, India, South Korea and Russia. The United States was represented by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The G-20 leaders papered over sharp differences over proposed new taxes on banks to keep taxpayers from being saddled with the cost of future financial bailouts.
Analysts have been saying for weeks that the market could be primed for a pullback, yet it still hasn’t materialized. “It’s been quite a run,” said Stephen Carl, head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group in New York. Carl said momentum could be slowing after stocks have been on a nearly unbroken path upward over the past two months. The Dow is up 8.5 percent during its twomonth climb. The pattern of slow, steady gains leads analysts to believe that investors are becoming less discerning in their stock picking, leaving the market vulnerable if sentiment shifts for the worse. “The market is trying to sort out how overbought it is,” said Nick Kalivas, vice president of financial research at MF Global in Chicago. “That’s left us in a choppy state.”
D EX EA TE DL N IN D E ED !
NEW YORK (AP) — Investors expecting a pullback in stocks — and there are plenty of them — are going to have to wait. As of Friday the Dow Jones industrial average marked its longest winning streak in more than six years. Stocks climbed again Friday after a strong report on new home sales offset mixed news from corporate earnings reports. Investors were also keeping a cautious eye fixed on Greece’s ongoing debt problems after the country decided to tap a bailout program. The Dow Jones industrial average closed the day higher for the 11th time in the past 12 trading days. Friday’s 70-point gain wrapped up the index’s eighth straight weekly rise, which matches its longest string of gains since a two-month stretch that ended in January 2004.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Coast Guard officials on Friday suspended the three-day search for 11 workers missing since an explosion rocked an offshore oil rig, saying they believe the men never made it off the platform that erupted into a giant fireball. Coast Guard Capt. Peter Troedsson said he spoke with all the workers’ families about the decision to suspend the search before announcing it to the media. “I’m a father and husband, and I have done this a few times before. It’s never easy. Your heart goes out to these people,” Troedsson said. The Coast Guard says it will resume the search if any ships in the area see anything, but the workers’ chances of survival had seemed slim well before Friday afternoon’s announcement. “The time of reasonable expectation of survivability has passed,” Rear Adm. Mary Landry said. What caused Tuesday’s massive blast off the Louisiana coast is unknown. As the search was ending, oil company crews were trying to clean up the environmental mess created by the Deepwater Horizon, which finally sank Thursday. The other 115 crew members made it off the platform, though four were critically hurt. Federal regulators did not need this week’s explosion aboard the state-ofthe-art rig to know the offshore drilling industry

The U.S. Minerals and Management Service is developing regulations aimed at preventing human error, which it identified as a factor in many of the more than 1,400 offshore oil drilling accidents between 2001 and 2007. The Deepwater Horizon was the site of a 2005 fire found to have been caused by human error. An MMS investigation determined that a crane operator on the rig had become distracted while refueling the crane, allowing diesel fuel to overflow. Records show the fire

was quickly contained, but caused $60,000 in damage to the crane. An MMS review published last year found 41 deaths and 302 injuries out of 1,443 accidents from 2001 to 2007, the majority of caused by human error and operational and main-
tenance problems. As a result of the findings, the MMS is developing new rules that would require rig operators to develop programs focused on preventing human error, an area that hadn’t received as much attention in the past.

Dear Annie: My mother recently decided to sell her house and move into a senior living complex. As a result, she needed to downsize. My sister, “Liz,” came for a visit and made a list of things she wanted, and not really caring about the material things, I wrote down a few items I wanted as remembrances. Liz decided to ship some of her things back home, and she and my mother gave the rest to my wife. My wife was so pleased, as this made her feel closer ties to the family. Unfortunately, at Liz’s next visit, she borrowed my truck, went to a party and drove back completely intoxicated. When she asked to borrow the truck the next time, I said no and told her why. She replied that she wasn’t drunk — she’d had only three or four margaritas and maybe five glasses of wine. The next day, Liz demanded we return the things she gave my wife. She called again the next night, intoxicated, and screamed that we were “stealing her inheritance” and demanded that we return the items or pay for them. My wife and I decided to give Liz back the stuff she wants and write her off. But, Annie, what right does she have to demand that we give back gifts we were given freely? My mom refuses to get involved, which essentially means she is siding with my sister. My wife is so deeply hurt by this that it has ruined her relationship with my mother. What should
we do? — Wronged in South Dakota Dear S.D.: Liz is punishing you for noticing that she has an alcohol problem. Shame on Mom for not having the courage to tell her daughter to knock it off and get some help. Please explain to her why this is so hurtful. Still, Liz was under no obligation to give you those items, and returning them is the only way for this to end. We hope Mom will give your wife something else of equal emotional significance so she once again feels like a valued member of the family. Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I broke up two weeks after Valentine’s Day, which also happens to be my birthday. Our relationship was always a bit rocky, so the split was not a shock. However, my now ex-boyfriend gave me a pair of lovely diamond earrings as a birthday gift — only to ask for them back when he broke up with me. I was stunned at what I thought was clearly a lack of propriety on his part, but enough of my friends have supported his position that I feel I must seek your help. Tell me, Annie, wasn’t it rude for him to take the earrings back? They were a gift, after all, not a loan. — Samantha
t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e
Dear Samantha: Birthday gifts belong to the recipient. However, when a gift is particularly valuable or if it is a family heirloom, it is extremely gracious of the recipient to return it. So although your assumptions are correct, we recommend you take the high road. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Kentucky,” who asked what to do with her mother’s custom-made wedding dress, which she also wore at her own wedding. She assumed neither of her sons would want to give it to their brides, since her own marriage to their father ended in divorce. Here’s my suggestion: If “Kentucky” can stand to have her wedding dress cut up, I’m sure it would make a beautiful bassinet cover or christening gown for her future grandchildren. — Practical in Peoria Dear Practical: What a lovely and useful idea.

Ariz. governor signs immigration enforcement bill PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Jan Brewer ignored criticism from President Barack Obama on Friday and signed into law a bill supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with illegal immigration in Arizona, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest gateway for human and drug smuggling from Mexico. With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses, Brewer said critics were â&#x20AC;&#x153;overreactingâ&#x20AC;? and that she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate racial profiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said after signing the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation.â&#x20AC;? Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;misguidedâ&#x20AC;? and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or leave the door open to â&#x20AC;&#x153;irresponsibility by others.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. The legislation, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, makes it a crime under state
law to be in the country illegally. It also requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants; allows lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws; and makes it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them. The law sends â&#x20AC;&#x153;a clear message that Arizona is unfriendly to undocumented aliens,â&#x20AC;? said Peter Spiro, a Temple University law professor and author of the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond Citizenship: American Identity After Globalization.â&#x20AC;? Brewer signed the bill in a state auditorium about a mile from the Capitol complex where some 2,000 demonstrators booed county Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox when she announced that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the governor did not listen to our prayers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to change our lives,â&#x20AC;? said Emilio Almodovar, a 13-year-old American citizen from Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk to school any more. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in the streets anymore without the pigs thinking

cross-border relations. On Thursday, Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate unanimously passed a resolution urging Brewer to veto the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police in Arizona already treat migrants worse than animals,â&#x20AC;? said Francisco Loureiro, an activist who runs a migrant shelter in the border town of Nogales, Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is already a hunt for migrants, and now
