WSCC has ‘healthy’ building plans President outlines building contents County commissioner has concerns about allocation By STAN VOIT Editor

If Walters State Community College is successful in getting funding for a fourth building on the Sevierville campus, it would house mostly health-related programs, including new courses in surgical technician and respiratory care. That’s the word from President Wade McCamey, as the college seeks enough local support to match an $8 million share of stimulus money the state has set aside for community colleges to use for construction.

For the first time, Walters State is in position to get state money to use on a campus that so far has been built only with local tax dollars and private donations. McCamey said Tuesday the decision to seek so much money for the Sevierville campus “is based on enrollment growth for the last five years and enrollment projections for the next three years and the input and feedback we have received from the Sevier County community regarding workforce development issues.”

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — For the second time in as many weeks a local official has expressed concern about a request for financial contributions from Walters State Community College, which has the chance to vie for state funding for a new building if it can secure a $1.2 million local match. This time it was County Commissioner Tim Hurst, who wondered if the money shouldn’t be used to

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — A break in one of the city’s water mains got some students out of class a little early Tuesday but seemed to have little other effect as crews worked quickly to fix the rupture. Reports of water bubbling up out of the ground on Tiger Drive, just off Wears Valley Road, started coming in to City Hall about 10:30 a.m.

and the flow was cut off shortly thereafter. City employees were dispatched to address the situation, restoring service to the area by late afternoon. Public Works Director Mark Miller said it’s unknown what caused the 8-inch line to burst, though he said this type of thing happens occasionally when dealing with pipes that handle pressurized water flows. The conduit serves Pigeon Forge Middle and High schools, as well as a couple

businesses, including a car wash, Miller said. “We’re going to do our best to get the water back on as quickly as we can,” Miller said as he rushed away from the city’s United Way picnic to address the situation. That effort hit a bump when the crews realized, after they dug up and fixed the line itself, that the valve that controls the flow through See water, Page A4

NATIONAL PARK — A five-hour manhunt ended Tuesday when authorities found the body of a Lebanon, Tenn., man just inside Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Gatlinburg police began searching for Mark Christian, 45, after a woman alleged he had raped her at a rental cabin in the Mountain Shadows Resort. Officers issued a bulletin telling other jurisdictions to be on the lookout for Christian at about 9:30 a.m.; they believed he fled on foot. The search ended See rape, Page A16

SEVIERVILLE — Hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise, much of it bearing the name of the defunct development Belle Island Village, was sold for just $11,000 Tuesday in an effort to reclaim a lien owed to the warehouse where the items have been stored for more than two years. Clyde Rennie Sr., who owns the storage facility, said he’s disappointed the auction only drew less than a fourth what he’s owed in back fees for holding the stuff. He estimates since the developer in charge of Belle Island, Glen Bilbo, stopped paying the lease around the end of 2008, there have been about $46,000 to $48,000 worth of rent that went unpaid as the stuff continued to fill half his warehouse. Bilbo has not returned calls seeking comment on the auction. Perhaps most surprising is the fact there were

shops or to others who could retail the materials. Rennie’s son, Clyde Rennie Jr., actually ran the auction standing on the

GATLINBURG — David Willard has resigned as executive director of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, part of a series of developments on the campus in recent days that included the election of a local businessman as the new board Willard president. Geoffrey Wolpert, owner of The Peddler and Park Grill restaurants, will lead the board in its efforts to expand community engagement and fundraising for the arts school. Four new members were elected to the Board of Governors: Jim Ogle, Logan Coykendall, Clay Foster and Carlyle Johnson. There was no time frame set for replacing Willard.

NASHVILLE — Two local lawmakers have become the first to win an award recognizing the General Assembly’s champions for efforts to boost tourism across the state. State Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, and Rep. Richard M o n t g o m e r y , R-Sevierville, claimed the title Legislator of the Year from the Tennessee Hospitality Association, which represents the interests of the tourism industry. It’s a designation the men say they’re honored by and local business leaders say there’s no doubt they deserve. This is the first year the association has given the award and the group’s spokesperson Leigh Lindsey says the men who represent Sevier County in the Legislature were a natural choice. “Overbey and Montgomery were chosen to receive the award because of their tireless advocacy on behalf of the state’s hospitality industry in 2010 and their efforts to ensure the Department of Tourism received adequate funding,� Lindsey says. The two men have been given credit for spearheading, after some outcry from local officials, an effort to save money in the state tourism office’s advertising budget. The money, which pays for cooperative advertising programs, came under fire during the recent tumultuous budget discussions in Nashville,

“These two legislators have been great friends to the hospitality industry, and to hotel and restaurant employees across the state. Keeping tourists coming to Tennessee and ensuring that the Department of Tourism is well-funded are extremely important. Their efforts help keep the doors open at restaurants and hotels across the state, and area critical to Tennesseans and to our state’s economy.� — Tennessee Hospitality Association CEO Greg Adkins

as some suggested it be removed to cut expenses. It was eventually restored. While they’re being recognized now for their efforts, Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Director Brenda McCroskey says the two men have always been strong advocates for the county’s top economic engine. “They both have been very strong friends of the tourism industry,� McCroskey says. “They have supported their tourism partners every time they’ve asked for any kind of assistance.� Tennessee Hospitality Association CEO Greg Adkins echoes McCroskey’s praise for the men while pointing out the importance of the tourism industry, which is the second largest business across the state. “These two legislators have been great friends to the hospitality industry, and to hotel and restaurant employees across the state,� Adkins says. “Keeping tourists coming to Tennessee and ensuring that the Department of Tourism is well-funded are extremely important. Their efforts help keep the doors open at restau-

rants and hotels across the state, and area critical to Tennesseans and to our state’s economy.� Overbey says he and Montgomery both understand the importance the industry does have, pointing out they’re well aware continuing to bring tourists to Tennessee is crucial for Sevier County. “Tennessee’s Tourism generated a $14.4 billion economic impact to the state’s economy,� Overbey says. “This translates into 184,700 jobs for Tennesseans in the state’s tourism industry. It is imperative that our state’s public policy protects and promotes growth of this industry that is such a vital part of our economy.� Montgomery agreed while vowing the two men will continue to work to promote the state and the area they represent as prime destinations. “Tourism is a major economic driver for our area,� Montgomery says. “It is an honor to work with and help those in the hospitality industry, both in Sevier County and at the state level, which has a positive impact on all citizens in our communities.�

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School Fine Arts Department will present its annual “Evening With the Arts,” a variety show featuring students singing, dancing, acting and performing with instruments, at 7 p.m. Thursday in the SCHS Theater. “Over 35 acts auditioned, and we narrowed it down to 18,” said Nathan Rhea, choral director. “There are 35 students performing, and we have more than 15 students who are involved in tech (behind the scenes).” The production was the idea of former SCHS English and drama teacher Sheley Rose, who wanted to bring the

who are also members of the band Acitya; and a monologue, “Living on the Edge,” delivered by senior Ainsley Ford. “It’s wonderful to see her progression as an actress,” Rhea said of Ainsley, who attended Northview Middle School when he had worked there. “She played Lucy in ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ when she was in the seventh grade.” Although the show has required a lot of rehearsal in a short amount of time — auditions were held on Oct. 4 — it’s all been worth it, said junior Sara Oldford, who sings “True Colors” in the production with a small ensemble. “We do this because we like to perform,” she said. It’s no surprise that Oldford, along with sev-

eral other of the students, are huge fans of the sitcom “Glee,” which showcases high school singers and dancers. “Oh my gosh, I love that show!” she said with a grin. “Don’t even get me started on that.” A reception will be held after Thursday’s performance in the school’s library, where artwork by students will featured. Along with Rhea, “Evening With the Arts” sponsors include drama teacher Deborah Webb Parkhurst and art teacher Mary Ann Helton. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students. Children under age 6 are admitted free. All proceeds go to the SCHS Fine Arts Department. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

the pipe was broken when it was turned off. By 4 p.m. work to replace that part was nearing its conclusion and Miller said he expected service to be restarted by about 5 p.m. While the incident was a hassle for the city officials and staffers, it likely was a joy to a lot of students at the two schools, who were dismissed at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.

concrete step in front of the warehouse where boxes are piled in stacks taller than a man and filled with items that tell the sad story of the demise of the long-awaited development. Though he asked for the bidding to start at $50,000, insisting there was a reserve on the items and he could not take less than the lien against them, no one moved. Rennie quickly brought the price down in $10,000 increments, eventually giving up when no one offered a bid and declaring the auction dead. However, one man who would identify himself only as Al and said he was bidding on behalf of A&S Wholesale, said he would be willing to give $10,000 for the whole lot. Rennie was discouraged but took the offer, asking the couple if they would get into the fray. When they offered $10,500, Al pushed his bid up to $11,000, which ended up being as far as the price would go. “I had hopes of at least getting half of what I’m owed,� Rennie Sr. said after the sale. “That guy got a real deal. He can take it to flea markets and make hundreds of thousands of dollars profit on it for what he paid.� Al, who said he lives in Dandridge, has no plans to offer the items for sale himself. Instead, he said the company he was representing hopes to turn the merchandise around and sell it at a hefty profit to someone else who can retail it. Perhaps the items will end up in local gift shops, he suggested, though he’s not sure the Belle Island branded materials will sell. “I’m astounded I got it for that,� Al said. “A couple of boxes of that NASCAR stuff are worth that. He must have really wanted rid of it.� Among the items were ones bearing the logo of the Darrel Waltrip Racing Experience, which was slated to go into Belle Island when people started noticing something strange just down from the school. “We had a creek running down the road,� Hensley said. The leak didn’t affect service at the middle school at first, though water was cut off there shortly after the leak was discovered. Students were served lunch and made it past the 11:30 a.m. cut-off for the time in class to count as a full day. While they got a break Tuesday, Miller said they should expect to have to spend the full time in school today. “They won’t get another day out unless something else happens,� he joked. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Clyde Rennie Jr. tries to keep the only two bidders bidding while his father Clyde Sr. looks on. before it went bankrupt in early 2009. Rennie becomes angry as he recalls his experience with Belle Island, saying Bilbo “jerked (him) along� for years with promises that everything was going to be fine with the development. Even as Belle Island descended into bankruptcy, he said Bilbo continued to answer his calls and assure him that the move would allow the project to restructure and come out in better shape. When that didn’t happen, Rennie said Bilbo continued to entice him with promises of payment from the bankruptcy trustee and vowed the money would be handed over in full if an effort earlier this year to claim state-backed bond money to finish the project came through. When it didn’t, Bilbo stopped answering his phone, Rennie said. “He told us if this last thing with the state didn’t work out, it was over. He told us it would work for Belle Island

anymore,� Rennie said. Though there have been rumors there are new investors, even some with ties to Bilbo, looking at the 17-acre island in the middle of the Little Pigeon River, Rennie dismisses those. “If somebody is looking to buy it or if (Bilbo) is trying to get it going again, why didn’t they show up here and outbid the guy?� Rennie asked. “Why didn’t they try to keep their stuff?� While Rennie is angry enough about the way he’s been led on by Bilbo, he became furious when he

talked about the way some of the contractors who worked on the project have suffered after they put in work and materials that were never paid for. He recalled how one man he knows of lost his house through the incident and of companies carrying as much as $2 million debt from Belle Island. “It ought to be a crime what he’s done,� Rennie said of Bilbo. “There a lot of people who were hurt by this guy. A bunch of guys lost their houses and everything.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

fund things officials have cut out of the budgets in recent years through the recession. He joins Pigeon Forge City Commissioner Randal Robinson, who last week expressed similar worries that the $200,000 the city has been asked to give may not be the best use of its limited resources now. Both men insist they have nothing against the school and would have no qualms with making the requested gift in different economic times. However, with recent budget years trending on the tight side, they have suggested their respective government bodies should consider keeping the funds for their own uses. As he did at the Pigeon Forge City Commission’s last session, Walters State President Emeritus Jack Campbell presented the request to the county leaders during its session Monday evening. He told them the school could get $8 million out of an $84 million pot established by state leaders for capital projects at community college campuses. If the local school is picked to receive the money, it would represent the first time the state has invested in the campus here. However, the application for the money must show that the college either has a 15 percent match for the money on hand or has promises that it will get it if the grant is awarded. “Why the state decided to do that at this time with the economy the way it is I don’t know,” Campbell told the group. “I think we’d be missing a great opportunity by not getting this building.” Hurst first questioned County Mayor Larry Waters, asking him where the money will come from. Waters explained the county didn’t budget for an increase in tax revenues this year but has seen one, with the potential for half of the $400,000 the county has been asked to contribute coming from that source. The other $200,000 would be paid next year and could be built into the 2011-12 budget. Still, Hurst had concerns.

“I think it’s a good thing, don’t get me wrong,” Hurst insisted. “But we haven’t given a raise to any county employee in the last two years and their health insurance premiums went up in that time. This is taxpayer money we’re looking to give to a non-profit group and, while I think it’s a great cause, I just think we need to tell the county employees who do a great job that we appreciate it.” Though he himself is a county employee as a deputy for the Sheriff’s Department, Hurst maintained his push isn’t an effort to line his own pockets. “This isn’t about me. I don’t care about me,” Hurst said after the meeting. “I have county employees who are out there in my district who are just hand-to-mouth. They don’t know how they’re going to make it. That’s not fair.” Hurst proposed an amendment to the motion to approve the allocation to the school that would have called for a bond issue to allow for a 2 percent raise for each county employee. “Everybody who came to this commission at budget time with their requests was told to ‘hold the line’ on spending,” Hurst said. “Now, we’re talking about giving away $400,000 when we can’t give the county employees a raise.” Waters battled back, pointing out the money the college is asking for wouldn’t be enough to pay for raises for the workers, especially spread out over two years. Hurst said that’s why he made the motion that a bond package be sold to cover the cost of the raises. His effort died when none of the other commissioners would back it up, though. In the end, the motion to give the school the money passed with Hurst’s the only vote against it. After the meeting, Hurst said he wouldn’t comment on whether he thinks others on the board might have felt constrained to vote for the matter, worrying it could hurt them politically to be seen as opposing the college. “I can’t speak for them,” Hurst said. “I speak for me and the people in my district. I speak for what those people have told me.”

The board met for the first time since deciding in August to remain in Gatlinburg instead of relocating to Greeneville. Willard announced his decision to resign on Monday. He says he plans to pursue his interests as an advocate for art. He’s not leaving right away, but he underwent shoulder surgery on Tuesday and was not available to talk about it. “It has been said that there is a good time to know when to start, and a good time in which to leave,” Willard said in prepared remarks. “I have enjoyed my work at Arrowmont immensely and it is hard to say goodbye, but I know that the time has come for me to allow a new leader to work on writing the next chapter of this great institu-

To get the $8 million, the college needs to come up with $1.2 million. Former president Jack Campbell has asked the cities of Sevierville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for $200,000 each, the County Commission for $400,000 and private donors for $200,000. “This is a unique and unprecedented opportunity to apply for state dollars that will be used to benefit the citizens of Sevier County,” President McCamey said. The cities of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge have committed their share, as has the County Commission. The Gatlinburg City Commission takes it up next week. The requests have come in October with an Oct. 30 deadline. Local governments are facing budget challenges and have had to cut or level-fund much of their operations. Some offi-

tion,” The Board of Governors’ focus during the three-day meeting was to plan the steps needed to ensure a successful future, including fundraising, staffing needs, partnerships with area schools and community organizations, and board structure. Arrowmont will become independent of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women in the coming months and years. Wolpert, a longtime board member, says he’s ready to lead the board as president. “In recent months, it has become even more evident that, like the national park, Arrowmont is important to this area in both history and in forging a positive future for this region,” he said. “Now, the local community, myself included, has the opportunity to celebrate the school and make it successful together. It is a positive time for Arrowmont and

Gatlinburg, and I look forward to the collaboration which will bring new energy, engage our children, and celebrate our national reputation as a world-class arts and crafts school.” The new board members include: n Ogle, a Sevier County businessman who has been a driving force in Friends of the Smokies and other area fundraising efforts n Coykendall, who operates the Hilton Garden Inn and the Hampton Inn in Gatlinburg, and is the current president of the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce n Foster, an artist and a founding member and past president of the American Association of Woodturners who has served as an Arrowmont instructor for several years n Johnson, who heads the Department of Art at Tennessee State University in Nashville

Willard has served as executive director since 2001. During his tenure, the school worked with the University of Tennessee to make an online archive of the school’s history. He initiated the archival listing and photography of the school’s permanent collection and worked with staff to bring more technology to Arrowmont. He said he will work in the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition to new leadership. “We owe David a tremendous amount of appreciation for his commitment to and accomplishments at Arrowmont,” said Wolpert. “We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” Wolpert said the board looks forward to working with community officials “to build upon this positive momentum.”

cials question the wisdom of committing so much money to a project when there are needs within their own operations. Walters State faced a deadline not of its making. The Tennessee Board of Regents didn’t set up criteria for how colleges could go after the money until late September, Walters State spokesman J.B. Pectol said. The board will meet Dec. 2 to decide who gets the money. McCamey said the fourth building, if approved, would provide “much-needed space” for two health care programs it has not been able to offer on the Sevier County campus because it didn’t have room. “By moving all allied health programs, such as nursing, surgical technician and respiratory care, into a new building, space would become available in the existing buildings to expand student support services and non-credit workforce training programs,” he said.

In his presentation to the Pigeon Forge City Commission last week, former president Campbell indicated there have been no firm decisions on what would go into a new building. Among the possibilities discussed were expanding the library, adding computers, constructing labs and building a large lecture hall. McCamey made clear on Tuesday what would go in the building. Programs already on campus such as culinary arts and professional entertainment were created to meet Sevier County needs, McCamey said. A second wave of stimulus money freed up $120 million that had been designated for TennCare. The Legislature set aside 30 percent of the money for Tennessee Technology Centers and made the rest available to fund major construction projects at the state’s 13 community colleges. The colleges have to raise 15

percent of the money for their new building projects. Walters State plans to send in three applications: the one for the Sevierville campus, and renovation projects for the Morristown and Tazewell campuses. The applications have to show need and growth projections. When the Sevierville campus opened in 2000 there were around 600 students. Now there are 1,900. Pectol said the college projects a threeyear growth spurt of about 38 percent. The state is basing annual community college funding in part on their ability to keep students. They are being asked to improve their student retention rates — in other words, produce more graduates. That involves a lot of student services, Pectol said, such as counseling, tutoring and job placement. That means a need for more space.

Post office attackers still on the loose HENNING (AP) — Investigators searched Tuesday for the men who gunned down two workers at a rural post office that doubles as a community center in this small town, where the local gas station that sells fried chicken also is its most popular eatery. Yellow crime-scene tape roped off the onestory brick post office, and two large police command posts were set up outside one day after the violence that shocked Henning, about 45 miles

northeast of Memphis. Outside, the flag had been lowered to half-staff Tuesday. No arrests have been made, and authorities haven’t determined a motive. Mike Dunavant, the Lauderdale County District Attorney, gave no new information as he talked to a reporter Tuesday morning. On Monday, he acknowledged the suspect or suspects were armed and dangerous and said the killings were done with “disturbing violence.” Killed were Judy Spray,

commentary

GOP not hot for disclosure Mark Hanna, a wealthy Ohio industrialist, while managing the winning presidential campaign of William McKinley put such a heavy arm on his corporate colleagues that McKinley’s campaign out-raised and outspent Democrat William Jennings Bryan by more than 10 to one. Hanna knew whereof he spoke when he concluded: “There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money, and I can’t remember what the second one is.” Extended stretches of my own youth and early middle age were spent happily, if not entirely triumphantly, working on political campaigns — which raised and spent many millions of dollars — in some 38 states and Venezuela. Raising money politically turned me into an anti-Calvinist — convinced that God gave money to the least thoughtful and least appealing of her creatures. You have no idea how degrading it can be to fake interest while being subjected to some wealthy buffoon’s nutty theory on how agnostics are conspiring to take over the world of polo or pork-belly futures. Hanna would have loved the 2010 campaign, in which — thanks to a truly bizarre ruling by the Supreme Court earlier this year — interest groups have raised and spent unlimited sums from corporations and wealthy individuals without ever disclosing who gave a million or a grand. Over the last 38 years in American politics, because of campaign reform laws we went from incomplete and very fuzzy disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures to nearly fulldisclosure. Thanks to the John Roberts court, we are headed to a politics of no-disclosure. Just consider what is happening in Iowa’s First Congressional District (Davenport, Dubuque, Waterloo), where Democrat Bruce Braley, who received 65 percent of the vote in 2008, was favored to win a third House term. But that was before the American Future Fund, a 501(c)(4) group that can collect unlimited millions and is not required to disclose any of its donors, indicated it would spend at least $800,000 on TV and in direct-mail advertising attacking Braley’s record. And what if some of the charges the group levels against the Iowa Democrat are inaccurate and untrue? Sorry, there is no personal or institutional accountability. There is no place to register your complaints — just a mailbox at a UPS outlet. Braley is a formidable candidate, and he may well withstand the high-priced assaults from the anonymous, deep-pocketed interests. But some previously “safe” congressional incumbent will not be able to answer and rebut a million dollars in anonymous attack ads, and that, I can promise you, will have a profound impact on the U.S. Congress. The first reaction of virtually every member of Congress will be: In order to prevent this ever happening to me, I will have to raise a campaign war chest at least twice as big as this year’s. Washington will see an explosion in fundraising, which because the contributions will come from those with their own explicit agendas, will mean increased partisan polarization and further legislative gridlock. Political courage, always scarce, will be depleted. Public officials will be even more scared about confronting the special privileges and abuses of any powerful interests with the potential or inclination to write a six- or seven-figure check to a group that does not have to disclose the contribution. It’s reasonable to assume that much of the money being given to these so-called independent groups (which fund Republicans over Democrats by nine to one ) is from wealthy individuals who want to preserve their significantly reduced tax rates from the George W. Bush era and to eliminate the inheritance tax on their personal fortunes. “I think what we ought to do is we ought to have full disclosure, full disclosure of all of the money that we raise and how it is spent. And I think that sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Thus did GOP House leader John Boehner, on “ Meet the Press” in February 2007, state the then-near-unanimous Republican principle of full, immediate disclosure, which has now been abandoned in the rabid moneychase for unreported millions. — Mark Shields is a veteran political campaign manager and frequent television talk show commentator.

Editorial

The right choice Karen Cotter now firmly in place as clerk, and she’ll do fine It was good to see the Sevier County Commission give unanimous approval Monday night to Karen Cotter as county clerk. She earned the job, given the unfortunate circumstances that led to the vacancy. Cotter was the chief deputy in the office, essentially the No. 2 person. When Clerk Joe Keener resigned in August amid a state audit that appeared to show discrepancies in money, Cotter first had to distance herself from Keener — which she did — and then make it known she wanted the job. She was the unanimous choice of the steering committee that interviewed three finalists, and she was the unanimous choice of the full commission on Monday night. Cotter will serve until an election in 2012. Yes, she will have an advantage being the incumbent, but she can expect to have opposition as well if she chooses to run. These days it’s not enough to simply be good at a job

that is filled by the vote of the public. You also have to be able to get elected, which means asking for votes, raising a little money and spending free time knocking on doors. All that is for another time and another year. For now there is stability once again in the county clerk’s office. That may explain the applause and tears after the vote Monday night. Cotter’s appointment got a standing ovation, as it deserved. She has the full support of the staff and, by extension, the public. “I’m relieved,” Cotter said after the vote. “I feel good. I’m honored and I really appreciate it.” She was nervous before the vote, not knowing for sure if she would be the choice and knowing the County Commission was not obligated to follow the recommendation of the steering committee. To its credit, the commission did just that. Cotter vowed to live up to the expec-

tations expected of her by commissioners and the citizens. “I’ll do my best to operate the office in a way that you all would expect it to be done,” Cotter said. It’s been a rough two months, since news of Keener’s problems surfaced. The audit on his office should be ready for public consumption in a shirt time, and then we may know just what he is accused of doing that led to his resignation. It’s a sad tale, but violating the public trust is a serious offense. Joe Keener’s troubles go far beyond merely leaving the job he was elected to some 18 years ago. As Keener’s fate is played out, attention will be drawn to the problems he caused in the office. That should not reflect on Cotter or the job she is doing or did do. She is owed the chance to prove herself to her staff and the public. For now, just know Sevier County is well served by Karen Cotter and her able staff.

Public forum Pigeon Forge officials illogical when it comes to wastewater plant

Editor: I attended a City of Pigeon Forge workshop last week and was disturbed by the logic being presented. Pigeon Forge officials have been told by the state that they cannot discharge any additional wastewater into the west prong of the Little Pigeon River. This river is on the State’s “impaired streams” list, in part due to the impact of Pigeon Forge’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In order for the city to expand, the state requires that any additional wastewater discharge must go into the French Broad at river mile 24.6. This requires a pipeline to the French Broad that would cost $20 million. The city must also construct a new WWTP. Kenny Diehl of SSR Engineering estimates that the new plant will cost $25 million, for a total of $45 million, excluding the cost of the land. “A 50-year solution,” Diehl said at last Wednesday’s workshop. Or, we could “go green,” as Commissioner

David Wear suggests, with a $12 million wastewater sprinkler system. This also requires a new WWTP for $25 million, for a total of $37 million, excluding the cost of land. This system would pump wastewater that the state finds unacceptable for river discharge onto our playgrounds, medians and city parks, and would only gain 1 MGD. This is a temporary solution. It could be argued that the French Broad solution is more “green” than the sprinkler system because it would allow the rehabilitation of the Pigeon River so that citizens and tourists alike could swim in the waters of the Smoky Mountains again, without fear of disease. In comes the problem: The land. Two tracts are deemed suitable by city engineers. One has a price tag of around $1.3 million (Chapman Highway). The other, $13 million (River Divide). Let’s do the math: Option 1: Chapman Highway, land $1.3 million; WWTP $25 million; pipeline to river $20 million; total cost, $46.3 million (4 MGD gained)

Option 2: River Divide, land $13 million (current negotiated price); WWTP $25 million; sprinkler system $12 million; total cost $50 million (1 MGD gained) City management is leaning towards Option 2, which is paying more and getting 4 times less. How could this be? Why? Let me shed some light on the subject: Ralph Chance was mayor in 2006. His signature is on every document that created the TDZ and CBID, including the application to the state dated April 24, 2006, which included the proposed WWTP site on the River Divide tract. After leaving office, he became a real estate agent, negotiating on behalf of several properties, one being the River Divide tract. Since that time, the asking price has soared. The real estate commission could be millions. It’s as simple as this: I’d rather buy 4 Coca-Colas for 90 cents than 1 Coca-Cola for a dollar. It seems city management had rather spend more money to get less. If the city’s logic doesn’t make sense to you, please contact City Hall. Tony Lee Rast Pigeon Forge

Instant classic: Forge tops G-P in shootout Lady Tigers are headed to 3A/AA title game By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Pigeon Forge’s Sydney Brown (24), front, boxes out G-P’s Makenzie Thomas and heads the ball downfield Tuesday night at Gatlinburg.

GATLINBURG — In a shocker, the GatlinburgPittman Lady Highlanders soccer team saw their season come to a close when their district and county arch rival Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers came to town and dealt the Blue and Gold an unexpected shootout loss in the second round of the District 3A/ AA Tournament on Tuesday night. The Lady Highlanders dominated the regular-season meeting between the squads, 4-0, and outshot the visiting Orange-and-Black team by a wide margin on Tuesday night. But the result was a 3-1 shootout loss for the favored home team after the game went through four overtime periods still tied 0-0. Pigeon Forge goal keeper Sunni McAllister was the deciding factor in the con-

And she came through with colors today and did an awesome job.” The three shootout goals

for Pigeon Forge were hit by Kelsey Brooks, Lydia Cantrell and Autumn Wilkinson. G-P’s lone shootout goal was scored by Katie Garrett. Pigeon Forge will travel to regular-season district champs Berean Christian for a 5 p.m. championship match on Thursday.

Bearettes blast foe S-D 4-0 to earn title shot

411 to host O’Reilly National Steelhead Championship

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Thursday night the Sevier County Bearettes soccer team will do something they’ve never done before. They’ll compete for a district championship. Tuesday night the squad topped the South-Doyle Cherokees 4-0 in the IMAC semifinals and Frank Lorino Park in Morristown. “The girls played really well, intensity was there, focus was there, and we were better in all phases,” second-year Sevier County head coach Bobby Norwood said following the big shutout. Now the Bearettes early-season woes seem a thing fo the past, as the team’s playing its best soccer of the season. “It’s a huge thing to have faced the adversity we faced with the quality opponents we faced earlier in the season,” the coach said. “It’s been one heck of a roller-coaster. “The (girls) are fighting for each other right now and pulling for each other, and it’s showing.” Tuesday night in the team’s dominant performance against South-Doyle, the Bearettes were led by seniors Haley Fox and Alexis Conner, who each banged in two goals. The girls also assisted each other on a pair of the scores. A Kelsey Fisher corner kick found the head of Alexis Conner for the Bearettes’ first goal, and before halftime the team added an unassisted goal from Fox. In the second half both Fox and Conner scored again to give the Bearettes their final 4-0 margin. SCHS plays in Morristown for the title Tursday at 6 p.m.

Injury has Young day-to-day John Raoux/AP

Vince Young, pictured here Monday night against Jacksonville, is day-to-day after tests show only a mild sprained left knee and ankle, and coach Jeff Fisher says the Titans quarterback could play against Philadelphia on Sunday even if he misses a couple practices. Young was hurt Monday night when pulled down after he recovered a fumbled snap, twisting his left leg underneath him. He was able to walk off the field, and Fisher said Young could have played, taking snaps out of the shotgun.

SEYMOUR — 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tennessee hosts the fourth annual O’Reilly National Steelhead Championship race on Saturday, Oct. 23. Some of the best steelhead drivers from across the area will embark on the 3/8-mile clay oval to battle for the $2,500 first place prize. The $2,500 first place money is the largest winning purse presented by 411 Motor Speedway since returning to dirt in 2007. It is also the largest purse for any steelhead race in East Tennessee this year. Other contingency prizes and money are also available for many of the other finishing positions throughout the field for the 50-lap race. Josh Collins, 411 Late Model track champion for 2010, will look to lay claim to the $2,500. To date, Collins has won 13 races at 411 and would like nothing more than to cap his great season with a big payday. He will have plenty of challenges from drivers such as Scott Sexton, Jason Cardwell, Bobby Giffin, Ryan King, David Crabtree, Greg Martin, Anthony White and many others. Promoter Chris Corum and track

owner Mitch McCarter are excited about this upcoming event. “We’re really excited about this race,” Corum said. “The response we are getting on this race is unreal. I’ve been taking calls from drivers in the Carolinas and Georgia wanting information on the race. We’re looking for a really big crowd both in the grandstands and in the pits.” The format will consist of time trials with the top 6 cars transferring to the Fast Car Dash. There is a $100 bonus to the overall fast qualifier. The top 6 starting spots will be determined by the finishing order of the Fast Car Dash where the winner receives a $100 bonus. The remaining cars will attempt to make the field through heat races that will determine positions 7-18. The final two spots for the 20-car field will come from B-main races. In addition to the championship, there will also be racing in the classic car, topless modified, super truck, street stock, modified mini, and pure mini divisions. The pit gates will open at 2:00 and the grandstand gates will open at 3:00. Grandstand tickets are $15 and pit passes are $30. Children 5 and under are free.

Cubs pull interim tag, make Quade their manager Sandberg was a finalist for the job By ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Mike Quade had just been fishing in Florida when he found out he caught the big one. That, of course, was the Cubs’ managing job. “The timing of it, it’s comical,” he said. The Cubs decided to keep Quade as their manager, choosing to go with the man who ran the team well for the last six weeks of last season rather than high-profile Hall of Famer and franchise icon Ryne Sandberg.

Quade (pronounced KWAHdee), Chicago’s third base coach the past four years, was given a two-year contract Tuesday along with a club option for 2013. He served as interim manager after Lou Piniella abruptly stepped down in late August, leading the team to a 24-13 record, and he envisions the Cubs contending next year. The Cubs finished the season at 75-87, in next-to-last place in the NL Central and a far cry from what a team with a payroll of about $145 million to start the season had expected. “The way we played those last six weeks, why not?” Quade said. “I believe that from Day 1 — why not us? There are plenty of examples of teams that had rough years, finished strong —

San Diego — and then built on it the next year.” The job will be his first as a full-time major league manager. The hire is the first under new owner Tom Ricketts, who watched the Cubs finish out of the playoffs yet again. Chicago’s infamous World Series championship drought now stands at 102 years. “We believe that Mike can coach, manage and win for the Chicago Cubs,” Ricketts said. Saying he needed to be with his ailing mother back in Florida, Piniella stepped down Aug. 22 after the Cubs went into a 5-20 skid that left them at 51-74. He was in the final year of his deal and had put together three straight winning seasons, but could not get the Cubs out of

their funk. General manager Jim Hendry said Sandberg, the Cubs’ Triple-A Iowa manager, and new Mariners skipper Eric Wedge were finalists and that former Arizona manager Bob Melvin interviewed. The Cubs were also reportedly interested in New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi. “Joe has a great job, as high a profile as there is,” Hendry said. “At the end of the day, Mike Quade is our man. That’s what we wanted to do.” Hendry called Sandberg “a great candidate.” Sandberg told the Chicago Tribune he was “disappointed” and will continue to pursue See CUBS jOB, Page A9

Former students making the grade on the track Having been a teacher at Seymour High School for over twenty years I have had former students to make their way into just about every possible career field. Fortunately, I have been able to keep up with a few of those former scholars by watching their exploits in racing. Three such students are dirt track aces Chase King, Ryan King and Rusty Ballenger. This season has been particularly enjoyable for the teacher because each of these young men has won feature races at the 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour. To say that Chase King’s season has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs would be an understatement. “It’s been kinda rough,� Chase declared. “We’ve been through three motors.� But Chase’s season hasn’t all been on the downhill slide.

Get prepared for cold weather!

State’s second managed elk hunt underway The second-ever managed elk hunt in Tennessee is now underway as five individuals will be seeking a trophy at the North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area. The hunters will have an opportunity to harvest an elk in the special hunt from Oct. 18-22. Four persons won the right to participate as a result of a computer drawing held in June. The participants for this year’s hunt are be Jeffrey M. Burdick of Oakdale, Gregory Joseph Burns of Clarksville, Michael Duane Galloway of Corryton, and

Joseph Edward McDonald, Jr. of Clinton. The winners were announced at a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission meeting. The fifth participant is the recipient of a permit that is donated to a NonGovernmental Organization which this year was the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. The RMEF auctioned the permit at its recent national convention and Randy Hoisington of Blocksburg, Calif., bid $11,000 to participate in the hunt. Proceeds from the bid are

part of a fund-raising project benefitting future elk restoration in Tennessee and enhancing elk habitat. For the hunt, five elk hunting zones on the Royal Blue section of the North Cumberland WMA have been selected, each about 8,000 acres. The division helps ensure the harvest is spread over the entire core of the elk zone. Each hunter has been assigned a zone through a random hand-held drawing. Studies have proven that the elk herd is seeing an annual growth rate of

13-15 percent. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has worked to make habitat improvements at North Cumberland WMA to aid the elk in adapting to their new home since the first arrival of 50 animals in December 2000, the first elk to be in Tennessee since they were reported in Obion County in 1865. In last year’s historic hunt, all five hunters harvested a elk. Chuck Flynn, of Blount County, was credited with recording the first harvest in the state in more than 150 years.

CUBS JOB

You’re teaching, working and then 10 years go by. You change your goals. All of a sudden, you’re going, ’Wow, this is a tough gig,’ but all the while getting to do what I love to do. ... If it ever get to a point where I said, ’Gosh, am I going to get it?’ I probably would have walked away.�’ He finally got his chance to manage a big league team when Piniella stepped down about a month after he announced his intention to retire at the end of the season. The Cubs went with Quade over Sandberg

and bench coach Alan Trammell, and the audition was a success. Players responded to Quade, and over the final 37 games, only the Philadelphia Phillies posted a better record. The Cubs got a lift from promising rookies such as shortstop Starlin Castro, who hit .300, and outfielder Tyler Colvin. He hit 20 homers before he got struck in the chest by a broken bat in late September, ending his season. Young pitchers Andrew Cashner and Casey

Coleman showed promise, and veterans made their feelings for Quade clear, saying they thought he deserved the job. “I had complete faith in the veterans, and they played like a son of a gun,� Quade said. “We weren’t going to win as many games in my time and we weren’t going to play as well unless the kids got better.�

other managing jobs. Asked if he would return to Iowa, he told the newspaper: “I don’t know. I’m hoping there’s something else out there. I’m hoping to manage or coach at the big league level.� The 53-year-old Quade managed more than 2,300 minor league games in the Montreal, Philadelphia, Oakland and Cubs farm systems before arriving in Chicago. The Chicago-area native was originally selected by the Pirates in the 22nd round of the 1979 draft out of the University of New Orleans and spent four seasons as an outfielder in Pittsburgh’s minor league system before entering the coaching ranks. He held his first managerial position in 1985, with Class A Macon. He was promoted to Piniella’s staff after a running the Iowa Cubs from 2003-06, a stint that included two first-place finishes in his four seasons. “’85, wow. Macon, Ga. — that’s a long way back,� Quade said. “I’d loved the game and wanted to manage at this level, yeah. But when you get done playing and you’re young and you’re fired up and you’re going, ’OK, three years, four years. I’ll start moving up the ladder. I’ll be there.’ And then, five years go by.

There may very well be plenty more winning videos in the futures of these three young men. Each of them is a talented racer and each is hard working and of good character.

Sibling fed up with sister’s disrespect

Baby Blues

Dear Annie: My sister, “Didi,” has been living with my husband and me for several months. Didi pays a modest amount of rent based on her income -- but we set it up before she started working more consistently. She now has a parttime job and still doesn’t contribute anything more. If she were saving her money, I would understand, but she’s spending it on clothes and expensive makeup. She rarely helps around the house with cleaning or cooking. I realize she is lucky to have a job, but she refuses to pick up a second one. I told her I saw a “for hire” sign at a fastfood place close to home, but she won’t apply. I should also point out that she doesn’t drive, and I take her to work each day. On days when I have to drop her off early or pick her up late because of my own job, she gives me a bit of attitude. Frankly, I’m ready for her to move out, but I don’t think she can afford it yet, and I don’t want her asking me for money to help pay her rent. The complicated part of all of this is that my husband and I want to have a baby, but Didi is living in what would be the baby’s room. Nine months seems like a reasonable period of time for her to get her stuff together and move out. But if she truly cannot afford it, I don’t want to be the one making her live on the streets. I love Didi, but am beginning to feel she is taking advantage of me. How do I help her get her own place? -- Love my

Sis Dear Sis: Didi is definitely taking advantage of your tolerance levels. Are there any other relatives who might take your sister off your hands? If not, set up a timeframe. Inform Didi that you are planning to get pregnant and once it happens, you will need her room for the baby and she will have to move out. That will give her at least nine months to find another place. Tell her you’ll be happy to help her search for another part-time job, an inexpensive apartment and a roommate. Whatever it takes. Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old female virgin. Two years ago, I had my first and only “relationship,” in which my boyfriend dumped me after a week when he realized I was not going to have sex with him. Since then, I have been afraid to seek out relationships because I’m scared of being pressured to move too fast. I know it is ridiculous to judge all men based on a single experience. But society projects the idea that women are expected -- even obligated -- to give sex to their boyfriends. I want to avoid the risks of STDs and pregnancy, but I don’t know whether I am strong enough to keep saying “no.” Is it wrong of me to expect a relationship without sex? --

Lonely, but Afraid Dear Lonely: Of course not, but you are right that a lot of men expect a physical relationship with someone your age (although not after one week). There are plenty of guys who would be willing to get to know you and commit to a relationship before attempting to get you into bed. Keep looking. They are out there. Dear Annie: I have another take on the letters about funerals where the mourners may not wish to view the remains. Before my wife passed away in April, she made arrangements for her body to be donated to the University of Tennessee Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology. When she died, we notified them and they took her body to the school in Memphis. Their memorial service was impressive and comforting. These medical schools are always looking for such donations, and I have made arrangements for my body to be used the same way when the time comes. -- Sevierville, Tenn.

‘Random event’ shots hit Pentagon WASHINGTON (AP) — Someone fired shots at the Pentagon early Tuesday in what security officials described as “a random event.” No one was injured in the pre-dawn incident in which shots were fired into two windows at the sprawling Defense Department just across the Potomac River in suburban Virginia. Steven Calvery, director of the civilian Pentagon Force Protection Agency, told reporters that a number of his officers reported hearing five to seven shots fired

Military recruiters told to accept gay applicants WASHINGTON (AP) — The Defense Department said Tuesday that it is accepting openly gay recruits, but is warning applicants they might not be allowed to stick around for long. Following last week’s court ruling that struck down a 1993 law banning gays from serving openly, the military has suspended enforcement of the rule known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.” The Justice Department is appealing the decision and has asked the courts for a temporary stay on the ruling. The Defense Department said it would comply with the law and had frozen any discharge cases. But at least one case was reported of a man being turned away from an Army recruiting office in Austin, Texas. Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith on Tuesday confirmed that recruiters had been given top-level guidance to accept applicants who say they are gay. Recruiters also have been told to inform potential recruits that the moratorium on enforcement of “don’t ask, don’t tell” could be reversed at any point, if the ruling is appealed or the court grants a stay, she said. The uncertain status of the law has caused

much confusion within an institution that has historically discriminated against gays. Before the 1993 law, the Defense Department banned gays entirely and declared them incompatible with military service. Douglas Smith, spokesman for U.S. Army Recruiting Command based at Fort Knox, Ky., said even before the ruling recruiters did not ask applicants about their sexual orientation. The difference now is that recruiters will process those who say they are gay. “If they were to self admit that they are gay and want to enlist, we will process them for enlistment, but will tell them that the legal situation could change,” Smith said. He said the enlistment process takes time and recruiters have been told to inform those who are openly gay that they could be declared ineligible if the law is upheld on appeal. “U.S. Army Recruiting Command is going to follow the law, whatever the law is at the time,” he said. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips, who had ordered the military to stop enforcing “don’t ask, don’t tell,” was expected to deny the administration’s request to delay her order. That would send the case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

at 2:30 p.m. when a Pigeon Forge K-9 unit found Christian’s body about 20 feet inside the national park. Gatlinburg police asked for assistance from Pigeon Forge K-9 units, according to Gatlinburg Police Chief Randy Brackins. “(Christian’s) body was located about 20 feet inside the park on the south bank of (Dudley) Creek, at the base of a very steep slope, which investigators believed he may have attempted to climb,” park spokesman Bob Miller said. No weapon was found at the scene, and there was no immediate indication of foul play, park officials said. “The National Park Service is investigating Christian’s death in conjunction with Gatlinburg Police Department and the Sevier County Medical Examiner’s Office,” Chief Ranger Clayton Jordan said. “We expect to have an autopsy performed to determine the cause of death.” Brackins told The Mountain Press late Tuesday afternoon that officers had

at about 4:55 a.m. EDT near the south parking lot of the Pentagon. The Pentagon building and the roads leading it were briefly shut down as officers did an initial sweep of the area. An internal search of the iconic structure found fragments of two bullets still embedded in two windows — one on the third floor and one on the fourth. The bullets had shattered but did not penetrate the windows, Calvery said. The windows were part of offices that are being renovated and they were unoccupied at the time.

tracked Christian into the park, and that the National Park Service had taken over the investigation. “(The woman) alleged the rape early (Tuesday) morning, then we started looking for him and tracked him and kind of followed him into the park,” Brackins said Tuesday afternoon. Brackins’ comments came more than an hour and a half after park officials said the Pigeon Forge K-9 officer located the body. The Park Service statement said, “At about 2:30 p.m. this afternoon Great Smoky Mountains

National Park Rangers were informed that a Pigeon Forge Police Department K-9 unit had discovered a body, later identified as being that of Mark Christian, 45, of Lebanon, Tenn., just inside the National Park adjacent to the city limits of Gatlinburg.” Police had not charged Christian with a crime, but wanted to question him in relation to the allegations made by the woman. The relationship between Christian and the alleged victim was not made clear Tuesday evening. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com
