Hundreds of tourists and locals who traveled Newfound Gap Road on Sunday to see the annual foliage display got an added bonus. In the lower portions of the National Park, the foliage is becoming more brilliant by the day. As travelers moved slowly up the mountain, they came to areas where bright foliage was mixed with the white of the season’s first snow. In the higher elevations almost all of the leaves were hidden by snow and there were icicles forming on rock formations. Park rangers closed the highway at approximately 4:30 p.m. because of ice road conditions in the higher elevations.

SEVIERVILLE — The Dumplin Creek project needs $8.5 million from the city to build the main road into the retail and entertainment complex, John Turley said Monday. The long-awaited development along Interstate 40 near Exit 407 is one of the most visible projects in Sevierville, because of the location and the large amount of earth moved before work stopped due to the downturn in the economy. Its prospects appeared to move forward with the recent announcement that Wal-Mart signed a contract to build a supercenter at the site; in fact the site plan for that store has already been presented to the planning commission. But in a letter to Mayor Bryan Atchley he presented at the meeting, Turley noted Wal-Mart could still move on to another site. “Until Kodak and the city work together to get Wal-Mart to close on their site, we are subject to a better deal coming their way and killing our project!! (sic),” Turley said in the letter. See DUMPLIN, Page A5

LA FOLLETTE (AP) — Tennessee’s first elk hunt in 150 years began Monday with three elk harvested in 30 minutes in East Tennessee. Charles “Chuck� Flynn shot his elk shortly after 7:30 a.m. Craig Gardner and Ronald Woodard each shot an elk shortly after that. Two other people hold permits for the hunt that runs though Friday in the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area. Almost 13,000 people entered a contest to win one of four permits. The fifth went to the highest bidder at a charity auction, with the money going toward restoring the state’s elk population.

In Memoriam

“I just got disability insurance, but I have been considered disabled only since 2005,� she said. “I have neuropathy in my feet, and I had kidney failure about two years ago. Cancer is an immune disorder; once I caught a cold, and within a week I had pneumonia. I’ve also had shingles, and my kidney still isn’t functioning well. I have to go every three months to get my stints changed because they crystallize.� The tumors in her face keep growing back; she has them removed every two to three months. The 11 weeks of radiation Wooten has had on her face have “done absolutely nothing� for her cancer. In the meantime, she volunteers every day at Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries’ thrift store in Seymour. If there’s anything Wooten hopes people learn from her story, it’s to “keep pushing� when they suspect something is wrong. “People ask me, ‘Aren’t you afraid of dying?’ I say no. Everyone has their time — no one knows the last day of their life. There’s a reason that God is still keeping me around. I’m praying and I have so much hope.�

property rights – the same one that stalled county zoning for years after voters approved it – used to defeat the initiative in the past. Those concerns were raised again Monday evening, as at least a few commissioners worried the program might bring federal oversight on local development. “I feel sorry for the people without insurance, but I don’t want to get us into something that takes away more rights,� Commissioner Kenneth Whaley said. “I

think the government is trying to force us into all this stuff. I don’t want to take away 30 acres from this man or 50 acres from this man with this.� Whaley’s issue, which prompted him to make a motion the matter be delayed a month to allow commissioners more time to consider it, is with new regulations that come along with participation in the program. Whaley’s effort failed, with only three votes in favor of it, the same three that voted against the final motion to join the initiative. Commissioner Ben Clabo took issue with Whaley’s

However, only limited quantities and types of vaccine will be available at first. The Tennessee Department of Health expects to receive enough H1N1 vaccine in coming weeks so anyone can receive it. The Sevier County Health Department will announce future H1N1 clinics. Information is also available at http://health. state.tn.us/H1N1.htm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has named the following priority groups to receive the vaccine first: n Pregnant women, because they are at higher risk of complications and can provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated n Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age; younger infants are at higher risk of flu-related complications and cannot be vaccinated. n Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel n All people from 6 months through 24 years of age; n Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from flu There are two types of vaccines that protect against H1N1 flu.

some local folks have been given. It may well have been calls from those people and increased attention given to the matter that assured its easy approval. Several commissioners have reported receiving calls from constituents upset about the high insurance rates, an issue they’ve stumbled onto thanks to new federal regulations that make mortgage companies check properties for flood potential, desires to refinance their debts and recently revised flood maps. Additionally, some folks have been forced to pay the hefty fees even if only a small part of their property is likely to be inundated. That includes properties where the homes are a considerable distance above the streambed, Ownby said. In addition to homes, the rules will apply to all structures built on property identified as being in a flood hazard area, including recreational vehicles, sheds

and barns, Commissioner Jim Keener said. “I support this thing, I just want us all to be aware of what we’re voting for so when we people come to us, we know,� Keener said. “I’m not saying that’s bad, I just want us all to understand.� Keener also pointed out most of the waterways in the county don’t yet have the requisite flood zone mapping. Securing those will be a costly endeavor either for the property owner or the county, while the other layers of regulation imposed by the new rules will also add to the final tab for local builders. Since the new regulations represent a change to the zoning ordinance, county rules require at least two-thirds of the commissioners to vote in favor of the move. That threshold was met easily by the 20-3 vote.

signed the contract earlier this year. To do that, he needs $8.5 million from the city. He told the board he believed the city could recoup the cost through sales tax revenues from the new WalMart within a few years. Turley also made a case for his project filling in for the Universe projects at Bridgemont. The city’s plans called for it to repay about $200 million in bond funds in part with sales tax funds from a retail development in Bridgemont, planned for Gists Creek Road across from the Events Center. That project has also stalled due to the recession. “Dumplin Creek is your best alternative for paying the CBID debt,� he said. Completing the road could also help the city in convicning state and federal officilas to build a new interstate exit in Sevier County, between mile markers 408 and 409, he said. Board members said they would have to review Turley’s proposal more thoroughly at a workshop; they already have workshops scheduled before both regular meetings in November and said they

would take it up next month. Also Monday, the board: n Voted on final reading to approve revisions to the municipal flood damage prevention ordinance n Authorized the city to keep participating in the

Tennessee Municipal League Risk Management pool’s driver safety program n Rejoined the Great Smoky Mountain Regional Greenway Council

Officials with Turley’s Kodak Land Co. and the city had previously talked about making the area a special assessment district — meaning the developer could access special bonds to pay for the road and other infrastructure, and repay them using a fee that would be assessed on property inside the district so that it could be recouped from tenants or buyers. That isn’t feasible now because of the recession, Turley said. The figures worked when first proposed in 2006, he said, but in the current market. Now, he said, potential buyers or tenants balk at the additional cost. “We’re in a different world,� he said. “The special assessment won’t work.� When the economy recovers, it could still be viable — but Turley is now calling for the bonds to be issued in 2014. In the meantime, he said he need to build the road so he can market the project and sustain the momentum created when Wal-Mart

it does is just enforce some simple rules on development.� That means doing common sense things like building structures in flood-prone areas at least three feet above the surrounding grade to help keep living spaces out of rising waters, Ownby continued. In exchange, people who own land in floodprone areas will likely see a considerable reduction in their monthly mortgage payments, Ownby said. At current, those folks must secure costly flood insurance from companies like Lloyd’s of London. As a result of participation in the FEMA program, all local insurers will be required to offer the coverage, which will be backed by the federal agency. FEMA officials have told Ownby that may mean a savings of 40 to 70 percent off the cost of the insurance, a drastic reduction in the up to $5,000 rates

argument, insisting the rules will only force people to do what they should do when they’re building in danger zones and won’t take away anyone’s land. “You’re not restricting anybody,� Clabo said. “What you’re saying is you build them above the flood. I don’t see that you’re restricting anybody from building. I think we ought to go ahead and approve it.� As County Planner Jeff Ownby explained it, the rules are boilerplate from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which operates the program, and are required for every municipality and county that opts into the initiative. Ownby was quick to insist – in fact, he did so in his first sentence to the County Commission – that the rules will only regulate building, not stop it. “This does not prohibit you from building in a flood zone,� Ownby said. “What

Less West Nile virus found in state By RANDALL DICKERSON Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE — There was less West Nile Virus this year in Tennessee compared to 2008, and unusually cool weather in July and August is probably the reason, a state health expert said Monday. “We’ve not had a very hot summer, compared to previous years,” said Dr. Abelardo Moncayo, an epidemiologist with the Tennessee Department of Health. “That’s important

to mosquito development and also to development of the virus.” Moncayo explained that mosquitos, which spread the virus that causes the disease, spawn more vigorously in hot weather. Higher temperatures also aid replication of the virus itself, he said. August is usually the peak month for West Nile. Moncayo said the best indicator is tracking tests done on pools of mosquitoes, explaining that there could be late reporting of human cases of the disease. The mosquito test-

ing ended last week and Moncayo reports a significant drop. In 2008, 14.6 percent of the samples tested came back positive for West Nile, compared with 11.7 percent this summer. The difference was even more pronounced in Shelby County, the usual hot spot in the state: 60 percent positive results last year versus 40 percent in 2009. There have been six confirmed human cases this year and one death, but health officials caution more human cases are

likely to be confirmed and reported. Nineteen cases were confirmed in 2008, with one death reported. The lower incidence of the virus this year probably also resulted from spraying for mosquitoes in cities and educating people to use insect repellant and eliminate shallow pools of water where mosquitoes could breed around their homes. The trend in Tennessee follows a national decrease in detection of West Nile virus this year, with 18 deaths reported nationwide by late September.

quote roundup “There will be compromise. There will be legislation, and it will achieve our goals: helping people who have insurance get more security, more accountability for the insurance industry, helping people who don’t have insurance get insurance they can afford, and lowering the overall cost of the system.” — White House aide David Axelrod in a television interview after advisers said the White House will not commit to health care legislation that would cap insurance premiums or tax benefits.

“Everything is on the table. You’ve got this huge national deficit and we’ve got to do what we can to bring that down. At the same time, it’s important to stimulate the economy. Let’s wait and see. Let’s let the recovery bill do its job.” — Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett in a statement after White House advisers said that President Barack Obama is considering all options to create jobs, including another stimulus package, while trying to pull the economy out of a deep recession and deal with a record deficit.

Recently released sales tax figures reveal more than a 5 percent sales tax drop from 2007. The nation’s economic struggles have hit Sevier County fairly hard. October, which regularly draws some of the largest crowds of the year, may bring some redemption. “Hopefully, now that gas prices are going down, we will see some increases to help make up the difference,” said County Trustee Jettie Clabo. n

commentary

Insurance needs pool of people The insurance companies have decided to let you and me in on a little secret: When the government says the health care bill is “revenue neutral,” that doesn’t necessarily refer to your personal cash flow. Democratic politicians are denouncing health care insurance executives as traitors for spilling the beans in a new industry-funded study that predicts large increases in premiums if the health care reform plan passes: “The misleading and harmful claims made by the profit-driven insurance companies are politicking for corporate gain at its worst,” said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. Just hours before a vote, it is still not entirely clear what the Democrats’ health care plan is. The industry study examines the plan put forth by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who has at least had the courage to propose specifics. The bad news is that Baucus’ plan will raise the cost of private health insurance. Why? In response to criticism of health care insurance mandates as new taxes, Sen. Baucus watered down his mandates on buying insurance, while maintaining requirements that insurers cover preexisting conditions. Therein lies the problem. Ask yourself: Why would you or I pay thousands of dollars for “insurance” if we can just buy insurance coverage to pay for bills when we get sick, and all for the same price as a healthy person? Insurance cannot work like that. Insurance requires a pool of healthy people to cover those of us who get unexpectedly sick. That’s why the requirement to insurance companies to cover all comers has to be accompanied by an enforceable requirement to individuals to buy insurance. Otherwise the whole plan collapses. Let it collapse. Neither mandate is in the best American tradition. There is a commonsense solution to the problem: The federal government should override state laws and permit every American to buy catastrophic insurance coverage — say, over $5,000 — to cover the kind of unexpected large medical expenses that can bankrupt families. This is what insurance, properly speaking, is for. What about ordinary medical expenses? Let us set up savings accounts using tax-advantaged dollars to pay for ordinary medical care directly. What about people who cannot afford to pay for their own medical care? Use our tax dollars to subsidize the accounts of the poor and the working class and families with children; $900 billion could pay for a lot of medical coverage and medical expenses. In an instant we could dramatically expand insurance coverage while reversing the perverse incentives that drive Americans to overpay for inconvenient medical care. So you say the market is in bad repute these days among the cognoscenti? Meanwhile, I can’t help but notice that each year the market brings me both things I need and things I want, delivered in ways that are convenient to me, for a price that gets cheaper every few years. We can unleash the discipline of the market — the same market that gives us healthier food, cheaper books and lessexpensive computers every year, more conveniently delivered — on a sclerotic, heavily regulated health care system. If it costs more money to expand health care to more people, give that money to people to buy insurance for large expenses and to pay directly for routine medical care themselves. Doctors, hospitals and communities will respond by delivering better medical care — faster and cheaper and more conveniently organized. Unlike health insurance companies, they will have no incentive to ration care by imposing institutional obstacles designed to cut costs by increasing wait times. At the same time, you would eliminate the interference of insurance or government bureaucrats in the ordinary health care decision-making processes of patients and their own doctors. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Get the shot

For many, the H1N1 flu vaccine can be a lifesaver There are a number of skeptics out there who doubt the emergence of a swine flu pandemic. They don’t think this HIN1 virus is anything to be worried about, and they vow not to get the vaccine that has been developed to ward off the potentially dangerous flu. Getting an H1N1 flu shot is up to you. If you doubt its safety and don’t think the swine flu is anything to worry about, then you probably won’t be getting a shot. That’s a roulette wheel of chance you’re taking. Federal officials say the new H1N1 flu vaccine, hitting health departments this week, is safe and has been tested thoroughly. It is believed to be helpful in preventing what some fear could become a worldwide outbreak of a

flu virus that can be deadly to some people. Specifically, health officials say the people most vulnerable and the ones who should be getting the shot are pregnant women, children ages 6 months to 18 years old, young adults ages 19-24, and persons ages 25-64 who have health conditions associated with a higher risk of complications from getting the flu. The vaccine will be in short supply at first, but no shortage is expected. Those in the high risk categories are asked to be first in getting the vaccine while it is in limited supply. Announcements will be made and published in this newspaper as the shots become available. So should you get one? For sure

you should if you’re in the high-risk categories, and when it becomes more widely available it should be taken by almost everyone else. The H1N1 flu is nothing to joke around about or brush off as much ado about nothing. The more people who receive the vaccine, the better we all will be in keeping the swine flu in check. For most people a case of the H1N1 flu will be relatively mild. For others, especially those in the high-risk category, it can be deadly. Many children have died already who contracted this more serious strain of the virus. If you have children, get them vaccinated as soon as possible. We need to do all we can to ensure this virus is contained.

Political view

Public forum Real statesmen deserve prize, not our first-term president

Editor: When I think of Nobel Peace prizes, I think of real statesmen who accomplished something of significance. 1) Theodore Roosevelt: In 1906, he helped negotiate the Portsmouth Treaty ending the war between Japan and Russia. 2) Cordell Hull: In 1945, he helped form the United Nations.

3) George Marshall: In 1953, he won for the Marshall Plan for the relief of Europe after World War II. 4) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: In 1964, he won for leading the struggles for civil rights for black Americans. I don’t think of Al Gore, who dreamed up the global warming hoax, or Barack Obama, who was nominated for the prize just 12 days after he took office as president. I have concluded that the Swedish people who decided on the prize winner gave in to President Obama in the hopes

of what he will do in the future. Perhaps he will surrender in Afghanistan, let Iran have their nuclear bomb, let the Russians do as they please without as much as a disagreement. Perhaps they liked his apology tour shortly after he took office. I would like to see some worthwhile accomplishments from our rookie president before he gets some joke award or gets re-elected.

PREP FOOTBALL

Bears vault to 5th, G-P falls to ninth in AP football poll By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — The Smoky Bears got more attention from media members over the weekend, jumping from 7th in the AP prep football poll to 5th in Class 6A. The Bears (8-0, 5-0 in 2-AAA) won 36-19 over Cherokee on Friday night, and Farragut and Blackman, two previously higher-ranked teams, lost their games to Maryville and Oakland ­— two of the polls’ other top-ranked programs. Gatlinburg-Pittman, Sevier County’s other ranked prep team, lost a 14-7 matchup with Austin-East on Friday night. The loss dropped the Highlanders (7-1, 3-1 in 3-AA) to No.9 in Class 3A from the No.7 slot last week. Austin-East (5-3, 4-0 in 3-AA) moved up to 7th with the win over G-P. The Smoky Bears will be at home this Friday against district doormat South-Doyle (0-8, 0-5). It’s the Bears’ first game at home since their emotional double-overtime victory over county-rival Seymour on Oct. 1. Should the Bears win over the Cherokees, Morristown East will be the Smoky Bears’ only obstacle for a perfect 10-0 regular season. That game will also be played at Burchfield Stadium on Oct. 30. The Highlanders will travel to face district foe Carter (4-5, 2-3) Friday, before facing county-rival Pigeon Forge on Oct. 30. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Seymour gets 1st round shutout Lady Eagles soar past overmatched Cocke County By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — A Friday evening win over the Sevier County Bearettes gave the Seymour Lady Eagles the third seed in the District 2-AAA soccer tournament. Any thoughts of a letdown by the team after an emotional win over former heach coach Bobby Norwood’s Sevier County squad was unfounded. The Lady Eagles cruised

to a 9-0 victory over the Cocke County Lady Red in Monday night’s opening round game. “That was our talk going in,” first-year head coach Drew Payne said. “We’re playing with a lot of momentum right now, and we can’t afford to play down to our competition.” While Payne said he thought the team did come out flat, they rebounded quickly, scoring seven unanswered goals in the first half and netted two more in the second. Senior Courtney Suttles had four of the Lady Jason Davis/The Mountain Press Eagles’ goals to lead the Seymour coach Drew Payne talks to his players during the halftime of their 9-0 win over Cocke See LADY EAGLES, Page A9 County in Sevierville on Monday.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

Doors closed in bye week, Titans seek answers SMS Cub runners By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Whatever Jeff Fisher plans to do to fix Tennessee’s losing ways will be done behind closed doors. At 0-6, the reeling Titans, coming off a 59-0 rout at New England that is the NFL’s most lopsided loss since 1976, are as far away from their 10-0 start a season ago as possible. Fans want Fisher fired, though owner Bud Adams isn’t ready yet for a midseason change. So Fisher is closing practices this week as the Titans try repairing all that’s gone wrong. It’s a flexible bye week schedule that could feature two sessions a day or walkthroughs before and after practice. The coach is looking at everything, will split work between veteran Kerry Collins and backup quarterback Vince Young, and some roster changes may result. And the future for the NFL’s longest-tenured coach with his current team? Fisher insisted Monday he isn’t worried, not with everything he has to fix. “I’m not in any kind of survival mode or worried about my job or worried about job security. I have a good coaching staff. I’ve got tremendous confidence in my coaching staff and tremendous confidence in my players we’re

Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher walks along the sidelines in the third quarter of an NFL football game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., Sunday. The Patriots defeated the Titans 59-0. going to get this turned around,” Fisher said. Adams’ last head coaching change came in 1994 after a 1-9 start when he promoted Fisher from defensive coordinator. Fisher has lasted longer and won more games for this franchise than any other coach. Adams told The

Tennessean newspaper he is worried, but will make his decision on the future after this season. The 0-for start is stunning because this is the franchise that returned 20 starters from the team that went an NFLbest 13-3 last season. Two local TV stations streamed

Fisher’s news conference on their Web sites Monday, and one radio station aired it live as well. The schedule hasn’t helped with four of the first six on the road against teams now a combined 22-13 and none See TITANS, Page A9

KNOXVILLE — As has been the case for most the season, the rainy weather continued as the SMS Cubs finished out the middle school cross country season at Victor Ashe Park with two runners qualifying for the State Middle School Cross Country Championships. On the girls side, Kasey Funderburg qualified 17th for the state meet while Connor Rytz qualified 25th on the boys’ side. Kasey Funderburg Funderburg bettered her previous mark at Victor Ashe Park by 56 seconds, while Rytz improved by nine seconds from the earlier contest. “Kasey and Connor have worked hard all year to improve their times and move up the rankings,” Coach Jamiee Collier said. “Overall, I am quite pleased with the finish to our season. Every runner bettered their time, some by three or four minutes. Connor Rytz Everyone pushed themselves, gave 100 percent and got better. I could not have asked for anymore. I am very proud of my team.” The Tennessee State Cross Country Championships will be held at Victor Ashe Park on October 24.

PIGEON FORGE — Monday night’s first-round District 3-AA soccer tournament matchup wasn’t much of a match at all for the Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers. The Orange and Black stormed the Austin-East Lady Roadrunners 16-0 for one of the most lopsided wins in recent memory. Kelsey Brooks had three goals for the Lady Tigers,

while Autumn Wilkinson, Cheyenne Montgomery and Dani Montgomery each had two goals each. Teammates Amber Fair, Haley Doan, Aricia Kreahmer, Catelyn Ogle, Kesha Hooker, Claire Johnson and Olivia Frost also got into the scoring act. PF will host the winner of G-P/Carter today at 5:30.

to fullback Ahmard Hall for 15 yards. Collins now has eight interceptions, one more than all of 2008. Adams wants to see more of Young, the No. 3 pick overall in 2006, but such decisions are up to Fisher. Young hasn’t been any better in two relief appearances, going 0 for 5 with one interception. Who starts Nov. 1 against Jacksonville (3-3)? Fisher isn’t saying. The bye will heal up defensive backs Cortland Finnegan (right hamstring) and Vincent Fuller (broken right arm). But running back LenDale White hurt his left knee in the second quarter Sunday. He walked to the sideline, then rode a cart to the locker room and was seen walking gingerly after the game. He led the AFC with 15 touchdowns rushing last season, but has just one in 2009. Fisher is trying to sell this bye week, with Monday a day off for players, as a fresh start. “This is the coaches’ and players’ week to get things fixed, and there will be things that we won’t be privy to discuss for competitive reasons,� Fisher said. “There may be changes in the lineups. Hopefully, we can get some people healed up and ready to play for us. “I’m expecting to put a different team on the field next week as we practice for Jacksonville.�

with a losing record. The next four offer little hope either, with only Buffalo (2-4) on Nov. 15 currently below .500. This week’s focus will be on the basics of throwing, catching, blocking and tackling. The only thing they’re doing OK? Chris Johnson is second in the NFL with 596 yards rushing. Fisher said he isn’t making any coaching changes or taking over the defensive play calling, even though these Titans now have given up nearly as many points through six games (198) as they did in all of 2008 (234). They rank last in the NFL in that category in the first season under new coordinator Chuck Cecil. “He’s not the one missing the tackles. He’s not the one getting to the quarterback. He’s not the one giving up the plays down the field or making the mental mistakes,� Fisher said of Cecil. The offense shares as much blame. The Titans dropped six passes in the first half alone Sunday against New England and turned over the ball a season-high five times. Collins botched a couple snaps and a would-be reverse to Nate Washington wound up as a 22-yard loss on a pass. The only other completed pass was a screen

way. Junior Jodie Wood had four assists and a goal, and Lauren Johnson knocked in a couple more for SHS. The Lady Eagles got another positive out of the match as well. “We got to play a lot of younger girls in a district tournament game, and that’s good, too,� Payne said.

Win over SCHS “I’ll remember that one for a while,� Payne said of Friday’s 4-2 win over the Bearettes on SCHS’s turf. “We played by far our best game of the season. I guess the girls were highly motivated, and we just came out on all cylinders.� Lauren Johnson got the

Blue and Gold started with an early goal on an assist from Deborah Huddleston to give the team a 1-0 lead. But Sevier County answered, and then some, scoring two straight goals to go up 2-1. Before halftime, though, Seymour got an equalizer as Jodie Wood scored on an assist from Courtney Suttles. In the second half, it was all Seymour. Sarah Dean netted the go-ahead goal for Seymour as Wood got an assist and Huddleston scored unassisted to give the team breathing room at 4-2. “I was just glad to part of something like that it was amazing,� Payne said of his seniors’ first-ever win over the Bearettes. The win gave Seymour the third seed for the tournament over Sevier County, who got the fourth seed.

Advice

Recovering alcoholic timid about socializing at bars with co-workers

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am a recovering alcoholic with six months’ sobriety. Recently, I was hired at a new company. The job is everything I dreamed of, and my bosses and co-workers are great. The problem is, every Friday after work, they go to a bar to socialize. I am always invited to join them, but since bars were where I did most of my drinking, it is essential to my recovery that I stay out of them. So far, I have politely excused myself from attending these gatherings, saying I have a previous commitment or an errand to run, but it is beginning to get awkward. I am aware that socializing outside of work can be an important part of an employee’s success. I don’t want to come across as standoffish or not a team player. But I also don’t want to jeopardize my sobriety. Some people have suggested I sit in the bar and sip a soft drink. I tried it once and was so uncomfortable (and tempted to drink) that I had to leave. My AA sponsor thinks I should tell my co-workers the truth, but I’m afraid if I do, they might think poorly of me. Or worse, I might get fired. Any suggestions? -- Between a Rock and a Hard Place Dear Between: It is no one’s business that you are a recovering alcoholic. If you think your lack of socialization is a problem, consider telling your co-workers that you are a non-drinker and would love it if they could mix it up and go to a cafe or restaurant instead of the bar once in a while. You might also bring up this topic at your next AA

meeting. Many of your fellow non-drinkers have lived through similar situations and may have some good suggestions. Dear Annie: My 58-year-old sister, “Doreen,” gets into debt over and over. She will hammer at my mother until Mom gives her the money to bail her out. My father passed away years ago, and I am sure he would be horrified at how Doreen is taking advantage of Mom. My parents worked hard for every penny they made. We always had what we needed, but were never what you’d call “well off.” Doreen has taken at least $50,000 from Mom within the last two years, and now I find she has convinced Mom to give her thousands more. She preys on Mom’s fears and sympathies until Mom feels she has no choice but to help her out. Doreen has a lowpaying job, and even though she owns a home, she is so much in debt that I don’t see any way she could ever repay the money. At this rate, she will leave Mom penniless. How can she believe this is right? What can my brother and I do? -Worried Daughter in Canada Dear Canada: If your mother is mentally capable and chooses to give Doreen this money, there isn’t much you can do to stop her. However,

t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

you might discuss with Mom the possibility of putting control of her money with someone else -- perhaps an attorney or trusted friend who won’t be manipulated by Doreen. (We don’t recommend you or your brother, since it could cause an estrangement.) A nonpartisan third party can put the money in a trust, pay Mom’s bills and give her a monthly allowance, but anything else will require approval. Suggest it. Dear Annie: I have an easy solution to “Senior Delinquent’s” dilemma about carrying her prescription pills in a plastic bag. I, too, must carry several medications with me when I go out. I save the description insert that comes with each prescription and put it in my purse. The insert lists all the information on the bottle label. -- Portable Pharmacist in San Pedro, Calif. Dear San Pedro: We suspect that works much better for women with large purses than men with small wallets, but thanks for a useful idea.

Nation/World briefs

Pump prices rise quickly

Despite persistently low demand, prices for gasoline have spiked over the past week along with crude oil, threatening one of the very few points of relief for the recession-striken U.S. consumer: Cheap gas. Prices have risen for six straight days and they are now comfortably above $2.50 per gallon for the first time in weeks. On Monday, they rose again for the sixth straight day to $2.564 per gallon according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service.

11 Park Service searches per day

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Whether it’s saving a stranded hiker with a broken leg or fishing out a capsized boater, a new study says national parks launch 11 search-and-rescue operations on an average day. Travis Heggie, an assistant professor at the University of North Dakota who headed up the study, analyzed search-and-rescue reports from 1992 to 2007, when there were more than 65,000 operations in national parks with costs exceeding $58 million. Those most commonly in need of help? Day hikers, young men and boaters. Weekends were the busiest.

KIHEI, Hawaii (AP) — A 54-year-old man has been attacked by a shark while surfing off Maui. Maui County spokeswoman Mahina Martin says the unidentified man was bitten Monday morning in the upper right thigh and lower right ankle off Kalama Beach Park. He man was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center. His condition wasn’t immediately available. Martin says a 6- to 8-foot sand shark is believed to have carried out the attack.

Toddler OK after 30-foot fall

ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) — Talk about a tough kid: A California toddler is alive after falling 30 feet from an apartment window and landing on concrete and rocks. Contra Costa County Fire Capt. Charles Thomas says the 22-month-old boy was alert and crying after the three-story plunge Sunday in Antioch that left him with just a cut on his abdomen, a bruised lung and a bump on his head. The boy appeared to have climbed onto furniture near an open window and fell after pushing against the screen. He landed on concrete and a bed of rocks.

Former nurse’s aide Ugandan king

KASESE, Uganda (AP) — For years, Charles Wesley Mumbere worked as a nurse’s aide in Maryland and Pennsylvania, caring for the elderly and sick. No one there suspected that he had inherited a royal title in his African homeland when he was just 13. On Monday, after years of political upheaval and financial struggle, Mumbere, 56, was finally crowned king of his people to the sound of drum beats and thousands of cheering supporters wearing cloth printed with his portraits.

Pacific Hurricane Rick weakens

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Rick was still more than a day away from the resorts of Baja California on Monday but the 13-foot waves it kicked up already have killed one person in Los Cabos, which lies almost directly in the hurricane’s forecast path. Francisco Cota, the Los Cabos civil defense director, said a 38-year-old man was standing on a rocky point fishing when he was swept away by one of the big waves Sunday. Bystanders went to help the man, but by the time they got him out of the water he was dead.

32 planets found outside solar system By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

PIONEER WOODS

Associated Press

This artist rendering provided by the European South Observatory shows some of the 32 new planets astronomers found outside our solar system, adding evidence to the theory that the universe has many places where life could develop.

WASHINGTON — European astronomers have found 32 new planets outside our solar system, adding evidence to the theory that the universe has many places where life could develop. Scientists using the European Southern Observatory telescope didn’t find any planets quite the size of Earth or

covered planets were as small as five times the size of Earth and one was up to five times larger than Jupiter. Astronomer Stephane Udry of the University of Geneva said the results support the theory that planet formation is common, especially around the most common types of stars. “I’m pretty confident that there are Earth-like planets everywhere,” Udry

said in a Web-based news briefing from a conference in Portugal. “Nature doesn’t like a vacuum. If there is space to put a planet there, there will be a planet there.” What astronomers said is especially exciting is that about 40 percent of sun-like stars have planets that are closer to being Earth-sized than the size of Jupiter. Jupiter’s mass is more than 300 times that of Earth’s.

Balloon boy charges may not come until next week FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities investigating the family accused of perpetrating the balloon boy hoax to promote a reality show said Monday they don’t expect to bring possible charges until at least next week. Larimer County sheriff’s spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said that investigators don’t anticipate finishing their reports and presenting them to the district attorney’s office until next week. It will then be up to prosecutors to decide whether to file charges against Richard Heene or his wife, Mayumi. The couple’s lawyer, David Lane, said earlier in the day that he expected charges to be filed by Wednesday. With television cameras and reporters set up outside the Heene home, Lane has stressed that the Heenes are willing to turn themselves in to avoid the spectacle of a public arrest. Lane declined to say directly whether he believes the incident was a hoax but said the Heenes are innocent

any that seemed habitable or even unusual. But their announcement increased the number of planets discovered outside the solar system to more than 400. Six of the newly found planets are several times bigger than Earth, increasing the population of socalled super-Earths by more than 30 percent. Most planets discovered so far are far bigger, Jupitersized or even larger. Two of the newly dis-

unless convicted. The family remained in seclusion Monday at their home. “If they (prosecutors) can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, that’s one thing. If they can’t prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, that’s another,” he told The Associated Press. Investigators also say they want to question an associate of his after e-mails surfaced showing the two had discussed a balloon hoax months ago as part of a public relations campaign for the reality show. Robert Thomas of Denver claimed Heene had told him

he was planning a media stunt to promote a proposed reality show. Thomas, a selfdescribed researcher, sold his story to Gawker.com and provided the Web site with

e-mail exchanges between him and Heene. Thomas said the show would feature Heene as a mad scientist who carries out various scientific experiments. Present this coupon for

And if you don’t see the photo you want in the paper, but pretty sure we took it, visit the host site and you may see it there. All photos we take, not just the ones in the paper, are available for purchase.

To look over the choices, visit: www.themountainpress.com And click on the Photos box to the right.
