A jackknifed 18-wheeler clogged traffic on the road up to Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg.

Freezing traffic

Snow, ice keep some roadways impassable

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer Though old man winter could only deliver about an inch of snow to most of Sevier County and many main roads were not only clear but starting to dry up by Friday afternoon, it looks like the second snowfall of the week may lock some folks into their homes for several days.

Though crews from the county Highway Department were working around the clock in shifts spreading salt and gravel, and scraping the roads, Road Superintendent Jonas Smelcer said some areas would likely remain fairly treacherous through the weekend.

“I figure we’re going to be doing this 24 hours a day until at least Monday before we can slow down some,” Smelcer said around lunchtime Friday. “We spent a lot of time over the last few days salting the main roads and we’ve been out scraping them, so they’re starting to get pretty good now that the temperature’s up a little bit. Those secondary roads and subdivision roads, though, some of them are just solid sheets of ice.

They’re going to be hard to deal with and we probably won’t even get to start on them until tomorrow.”

Despite the best efforts, the bone-chilling thermometer readings were putting a real damper on road conditioning work as temperatures stayed well below the freezing mark throughout the day.

It took a Sevier County jury about an hour to convict a Sevierville man of aggravated rape of a child involving a female relative who was 2 years old at the time of the incident.

Sevierville police charged David Allen Taylor with aggravated rape of a child earlier this year. His trial lasted through the day Thursday.

Prosecutor George Ioannides convinced the jury that Taylor digitally penetrated a young relative while they were both at the home of the child’s maternal grandmother.

Taylor admitted to police that he had touched the girl for about 15 seconds after she ran into the room where he was sitting wearing just a towel after a bath, according to a statement he signed that was entered into evidence. He said he started to dry her off, and then put his hand under the towel. He stopped when another person entered the room.

“The defendant, David Taylor, is a confessed child rapist,” Ioannides told the jury. “Today we’re asking you to make him a convicted child rapist.”

Taylor told the investigators he didn’t know why he committed the crime, Ioannides said.

Public defender Michaela Burnham told the jury Taylor was a drug addict, under the influence of the prescription painkiller Oxycontin when the incident occurred and when he spoke to investigators.

Witnesses included the child’s paternal grandmother, who had custody of the girl but had left her to visit other relatives when the incident occurred. She said the girl complained of pain after returning from the visit, and eventually said Taylor had touched her inappropriately. She took the child to the emergency room at that point, a few days after the incident.

A physician confirmed the child had injuries consistent with sexual assault at that time.

Taylor’s sentence will be determined later.

Local man wins big in Powerball

By STAN VOIT Editor SEVIERVILLE — Jim Tallman buys Powerball lottery tickets every week, which is easy to do since his store, Frank Allen Shell on the Parkway, sells them.

He buys the tickets on Tuesday, then checks the computer the day after the drawing to see if his numbers won.

Man, did they ever win this week.

Tallman’s Wednesday

Powerball ticket won him $200,000, and he is happily telling the story to his customers and friends.

“We’ll use the money to pay bills,” he said.

“Everybody’s got bills. But my wife will find something she wants to buy.

We’ll also save some, but she wants to pay some bills.”

Tallman has been playing Powerball since it started about five years ago, and never won more than a free ticket or a few dollars. But he has kept

playing every week.

Tallman uses the random selection process for getting his Powerball numbers, rather than choose the numbers himself. He usually buys a $5 ticket to give him five plays.

This week he bought his ticket, then took it home and put it on the bedroom dresser. The morning after the drawing he went online to see how he did, and Jeff Farrell/The Mountain Press learned he had won someJim Tallman, who with his wife Kay owns thing. His instructions Frank Allen Shell in Sevierville, won $200,000 this week playing the Powerball lottery. He See Lottery, Page A4 bought the ticket at his own store.

NASHVILLE — An aeronautics grant totaling $112,500 has been approved for Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport.

Funds from this grant will be used for modifications to the airport lighting system vault.

The Sevier County legislative delegation helped secure these funds for Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport. “Our local airports are vital to the economy and travel system of Tennessee,� said Gov. Phil Bredesen. “Investing in our airports helps keep them competi-

tive and efficient at meeting the needs of businesses and travelers.

I’m pleased to support continued improvement at Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge Airport.�

The grant is made available through the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Aeronautics Division. “This division administers federal and state funding to assist in the location, design, construction and maintenance of Tennessee’s diverse public aviation system,� said TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely. “We are pleased to continue to support Tennessee’s gen-

eral aviation and commercial airports.�

Grant applications are reviewed by the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission, a five member board charged with policy planning and with regulating changes in the state airport system plan.

The TDOT Aeronautics Division has the responsibility of inspecting and licensing the state’s 126 heliports and 75 public/general aviation airports. The division also provides aircraft and related services for state government and staffing for the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission.

Snow

“They’ve got every crew working night and day, but with the temperatures the way they are, it doesn’t look like they’re making much progress at this point,� Highway Department employee Claude Ownby said early Friday. “They are trying as hard as they can to get the roads clear, but anything they get done is just freezing back up right away.�

The situation wasn’t any better in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where several roads were closed Friday even though only a few inches fell at the highest locations. “We’ve only had two or three inches from what I understand at Newfound Gap, but the problem up there is the ice,� park spokeswoman Nancy Gray said. “Our crews are working on the roads spreading salt and plowing them, but the temperatures just aren’t helping.�

The best efforts to get the roads in the park and the county ready for the storm might have, ironically, helped create some of the trouble. As the snow started falling late Thursday, some of it was melting or remaining slushy on the blacktop.

As the temperatures fell along with the night, that all froze solid and stayed that way for much of the day, Gray said.

crews were able to keep the Spur between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge fairly clear and easily passable, Gray said.

With all the treacherous conditions throughout the area, emergency crews were kept hopping throughout the day. While most of the incidents were minor fender benders, some were more serious. County crews were called out to a car that had flipped and was leaking gas Friday morning, then another wreck in which a victim was trapped in the vehicle in Wears Valley in the afternoon. Fortunately, the injuries sustained in each of those were not life threatening.

Meanwhile, up in Gatlinburg a heavy duty wrecker had to be called in to haul a truck off the road leading up to the Park Vista Hotel. The jackknifed rig blocked all access into and out of the hotel, where a football coaching camp was being held. Witnesses reported University of North Carolina head coach Butch Davis had to walk up the hill to get to the seminar after being dropped off below the accident area.

Though the sirens were running throughout the county, officials with the Sevier County Electric System (SCES) said their phones stayed pretty quiet. “We don’t have any major outages and have not had any serious problems,�

SCES Secretary-Treasurer Allen Robbins said.

Tallman then checked to see what numbers were pulled, and when he compared them to his ticket he knew he might have won big. But he had no idea it would be $200,000.

Tallman and is wife Kay will travel to Nashville next week to collect his winnings, from which taxes will be deducted first.

He and his wife have owned Frank Allen Shell since 1999, when Allen — Kay Tallman’s father — retired after owning and running it since 1967.

Tallman joined the business in 1977 when he married the boss’s daughter.

Tallman was goodnatured about his good fortune. Asked if he had relatives who might ask for a loan, he said, “My relatives live in Kingsport and Bristol, and they’re all well off. Besides, I haven’t told them yet.�

NASHVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tennessee highway officials expect to finish clearing debris from a November rock slide on U.S. Highway 64 in Polk County by March 31.

A statement Friday from the state Department of Transportation said crews have removed about 6,000 cubic yards of debris and have been working to stabilize the adjacent mountainside.

A $2.1 million emergency contract was awarded to Charles Blalock & Sons of Sevierville and highway officials had said after the Nov. 10 slide that the cleanup would take at least two months.

TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely said in a statement that the slide has been a major inconvenience for residents of Copperhill and Ducktown and everything is being done to get the highway reopened as quickly as possible.

Wilderness Wildlife Week begins Tennessee State PIGEON FORGE — Wilderness Wildlife Week begins today and continues through Jan. 16.

The event will feature more than 230 programs, nearly 60 hikes, more than 150 expert presenters and dozens of volunteers.

The city-sponsored event, scheduled to last eight days, will be filled with nature talks, demonstrations, presentations and hands-on classes about Great Smoky Mountains National Park and other outdoor topics.

The first day’s schedule of 27 programs includes a four-hour nature photography workshop, a discussion about the history of LeConte Lodge, a session about fishing in the Smokies and a special children’s program comparing human senses and abilities to those of wild animals. In addition, almost 20 programs designed for children are scheduled throughout the week.

New to this year’s event is the Listening Post program, a project of the Smoky Mountain Storytellers

Association. Wilderness Wildlife Week guests are invited to share a story with a storyteller and receive a free recording of that tale. The Listening Post will be open from 2 to 4 p.m. daily.

All events are free and open to the public. Indoor programs will be held at Music Road Hotel and Convention Center. Transportation to and from all hikes and excursions will also be at the convention center.

For details about Wilderness Wildlife Week, visit www.MyPigeonForge. com/wildlife or call 800-251-9100.

Fee/Hedrick sends staff members on ocean cruise Submitted reports

PIGEON FORGE — Like most tourism organizations, The Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group saw less attendance than normal last year, with their customer base not growing as it has done.

But instead of cutting back, the company sent its employees on a free ocean cruise as a Christmas bonus.

The business operates four theaters with over 400 employees at The Comedy Barn, The Miracle Theater, The Black Bear Jamboree, The Blackwood Breakfast Variety Show, Magic Beyond Belief and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

“We thought a cruise would be a wonderful gift for our employees, especially since we are in the entertainment and vacation businesses,” said David Fee, co-owner of the entertainment company. “When our employees travel and they become tourists themselves they expect an exceptional vacation experience and it helps them relate to all of the tourists who come and vacation in Pigeon Forge.

“As a result of aggressive marketing and a wide choice of great live entertainment venues, we have done better than most theaters across the country and for that we are very thankful,” Fee said.

Employees taking part in the trip must have worked for the company at least three years. More than 200 of the 450 employees who have worked at the company for at least three years will travel by bus to Port Carnival, Fla., and leave on a four-day cruise to the Bahamas.

Sales and marketing associate Chris Rice says she has never been out of the country.

“I was so excited when I found out I was going on a cruise and that I could bring my husband,” said Rice. “It is a dream come true. A cruise is something I have always thought I’d like to do, but I have never had the chance to do it.”

Sales associate Lisa Fenton-Rinaldo, a 10-year employee, said, “It is a true blessing to be able to go on vacation with my 10-year-old-son and my husband. We can relax and spend time together. I could never do this on my own.”

Fee and partner Jim Hedrick opened The Comedy Barn

Theater in 1994. In 2002, they purchased a major dinner theater that seats 750 and renamed it The Black Bear Jamboree Dinner and Show. The theater is also home to the Blackwood morning show.

The 1,200-seat Miracle Theater was purchased and opened in 2006. In 2010 the company will present “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at The Miracle Theater.

In April 2007, Fee and Hedrick opened Magic Beyond Belief Theater.

Fee and Hedrick are both former cruise ship entertainers (Fee a magician and Hedrick a juggler.) They have provided other trips for their employees at various times during the past 15 years.

Bank donates to local charities From Submitted Reports

PIGEON FORGE — Tennessee State Bank donated funds to help Sevier County Food Ministries, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic and Sevier County Family Resource Teen Christmas charities during this time of need.

These donations were made possible by the employees of Tennessee State Bank who donated $1 each Friday for the privilege of wearing jeans.

The money was collected throughout the year and in return donated to various charitable causes in the community.

To make a donation to any of these charities contact Steve Streibig with the Sevier County Food Ministries at 428-5182, Elaine Miller of Mountain Hope at 774-7684 or Kim Loveday of The Sevier County Family Resource Center at 428-7999.

Lottery Numbers

Bredesen proposes 200 UT jobs Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 KNOXVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen said Friday that he has committed spending $6 million on an economic initiative that involves getting about 200 University of Tennessee faculty members appointed to be researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Bredesen said the initiative is “not about adding a bunch of jobs” but is aimed at tightening the relationship between the university and Oak Ridge, The Knoxville News Sentinel reported.

“Both will benefit,” Bredesen said. “It helps them (Oak Ridge) to recruit the researchers they

need and helps UT to get research dollars.”

The governor said the initial $6 million will be included in the university’s budget to create a new energy sciences and engineering program and will come from the state’s reserves of about $1 billion, not the state’s reduced recurring money that has all areas of state government facing cutbacks.

“We have good strong reserves and we are using them very sparingly to try and have a soft landing here,” Bredesen said.

“The practical effect of this idea is this: Let’s work with Oak Ridge

to make it more of an extension of the UT campus,” Bredesen said.

The Democratic governor made the announcement at a Friday breakfast meeting attended by about 150 business leaders and government officials in Alcoa.

Bredesen said House and Senate leaders have assured him that a special legislative session that focuses on education, set to start Tuesday, will be productive.

Bredesen also said he hopes the UT initiative will attract venture capital and federal money, with a goal of turning UT into a top 25 research university within the decade.

commentary

No harm in advice from Hume My colleague Brit Hume has aroused the ire of some secularists, as well as some Buddhists, by advising Tiger Woods to seek redemption through Christianity in place of his mother’s religion, Buddhism.

Said Hume about Woods: “He’s said to be a Buddhist.

I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn your faith — turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’”

Almost immediately, the far left began mocking Hume as a religious fanatic. Some of the comments directed at him were as hateful as anything directed toward Woods.

Let’s look at what happened.

According to Buddhist journalist Barbara Hoetsu O’Brien, Hume is correct about Buddhism. That faith does not offer forgiveness and redemption the way Christianity does.

That’s because Buddhism has no concept of sin.

On my TV program, I asked Hume whether he was proselytizing, as he is a devout Christian. He said no and put forth that he was just offering Woods some advice he might consider.

Thus, the question becomes: What is Hume’s sin? Why are people like Washington Post critic Tom Shales and “The Daily Show’s” Jon Stewart going after him?

The answer, I believe, lies in the explosive nature of right and wrong, good and evil; and in the unease some Americans feel when a religious conviction they don’t hold is displayed before them.

Nancy Spagnolo of Bethany, Conn., e-mailed me shortly after I interviewed Hume: “Religion is such a deeply personal issue, and it is wrong to discuss what another person should believe.

Mr. Hume should have contacted Tiger Woods privately instead of taking it public.”

That’s not a bad point. I’m sure Hume had noble intentions when he addressed the golfer publicly, but it was a deeply personal assessment of Woods’ predicament.

We are all sinners. How many of us want to be told how to achieve forgiveness in a public forum?

That being said, Hume has a perfect right to espouse what he believes is a healing tonic.

The forgiveness Christianity offers has helped millions of human beings throughout history. The world would be a better place if every person on earth understood the basic philosophy of Jesus.

Hume was simply exercising his free speech rights, and the fact that he is paid well to do so speaks to his intellect and insight.

Antireligious sentiment is currently chic in America. You see it displayed in the media almost every day.

Brit Hume sent some advice to Tiger Woods. He did so meaning well.

Woods is free to take it or leave it. There was no harm in this.

A call for some help: Vote for Seymour High

This newspaper has demonstrated often in the past that it is more than willing to get behind causes that are good for the community. That is why we urge you, in this space today, to get behind Seymour High School in its efforts to win $100,000 through an online voting campaign.

If SHS is one of the top 10 schools in the nation when voting ends a week from today in U.S. Cellular’s “Calling All Communities,” it will stand to win such a prize. In the most recent figures released by the company, Seymour was in second place. Principal Greg Clark says that if his school wins, the money will be split among all the schools in Seymour.

To vote: Online at www.uscellular. com/callingallcommunities or at any U.S. Cellular store to pick up a voting code.

Each voting code can be used only once.

The money would do wonders for the schools. Please vote as often as possible.

Smoky Mountains lab is ‘as good as green’

In this era of environmental consciousness and accountability, it is good to see so many businesses and organizations in our area doing their part. One of those is the Twin Creeks Science and Education Center at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which recently received certification at the Gold Level under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.

LEED certification evaluates structures based upon five environmental categories — sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. Additional credit is given for design innovations.

The Twin Creeks lab meets those criteria in a number of ways from conserving energy by using large, insulated windows to maximize use of daylight, to having computerized controls to reduce the use of energy on nights and weekends.

The women in the Richardson Cove Baptist Church female Sunday school class are not unique in reaching out to help the community — but they are special for doing what they do. Across Sevier County, all sorts of people do all sorts of things to help the less fortunate.

Every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., these women open the Cove Clothes Closet at the old Richardson Cove Baptist Church location, 3238 Pittman Center Road. The church has relocated a short distance away, allowing them to use the old building for these weekly events.

Donated items are gladly accepted, and the women in turn distribute them to men, women and children. Bedding and other items are also available.

It isn’t necessary to fill out an application to receive help from the Cove Clothes Closet, but folks are asked to sign in, give an address and how many people they need clothing for. For more information, call 453-4526.

Political view

Road closure signs in town would have helped motorists

Public forum

Editor: My wife and a college buddy and his wife just spent a lovely week in the foothills of Pigeon Forge. What a lovely community you have, and very friendly folks in your retail/eating establishments.

The only negative from our trip was the fact that there are no “Road closure” signs posted in Pigeon Forge as you head back south to the Parkway. We endured the multitude of traffic lights and heavy traffic on our way back to South Carolina. When we got to the Parkway we finally saw a sign that said due to snow and ice the Parkway was closed.

It would have been very beneficial to us to have known this prior to the trip to that location.

We turned around and headed for Interstate 40, as did the other 500 to 1,000 cars. It took us

nearly two hours to make the trek to I-40 from the Parkway.

It would have been real neighborly of your local law enforcement or tourist offices to have put out signs thoroughout town or at the end of town to warn people of closure ahead of making the drive. Just a suggestion, mind you. All in all, we had a grand time in your neck of the woods.

Supporters of rural Appalachia holiday project receive thanks

Editor: Once again we would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make it possible to provide food, warm clothing and toys to the people in Scott County in rural Appalachia this holiday season.

Because of the love and support of so many

caring people, over 400 families received food boxes at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas.

Thank you to all those who donated warm coats, scarves and gloves, and a special thanks to the person who knitted all the warm toboggans for the children.

Thank you to everyone who donated so many toys. Because of the generosity of so many people, there were enough toys for everyone.

There is no way we can express enough thanks to everyone who helped in any way.

Without each one of you, it would not have been possible.

Seeing the smiles on children’s faces when they received a toy, or hearing that thank you from an elderly couple for that food box is priceless, a gift that money can’t buy.

Thank you and may God bless you.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL

So long Tyler...

Disgraced Vols star is shown the door

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE — Bruce Pearl dismissed forward Tyler Smith from the team on Friday, a week after his arrest with three other players on misdemeanor gun and drug charges.

Pearl had indefinitely suspended Smith, guard Cameron Tatum, center Brian Williams and point guard Melvin Goins following the Jan. 1 arrest.

“I am deeply troubled and saddened,” Pearl said.

“Playing basketball at the University of Tennessee is a privilege, and where conduct is displayed that is detrimental to the team and the university this discipline is required. Tyler has accomplished a great deal, and we are all disappointed his playing career at the University of Tennessee will end this way.”

The other three players will continue to serve their

suspensions when No. 16 Tennessee hosts No. 1 Kansas on Sunday.

Police pulled over the vehicle the four were in for speeding and said they smelled marijuana coming from the car and found a handgun with an altered serial number, a bag of marijuana and an open container of alcohol. Tatum was driving the car, which was a rental borrowed from one of the player’s friends, and is also charged with violating Tennessee’s open container law.

“I am truly sorry for my actions in the recent case that everyone is familiar with,” Smith said in a statement released by Tennessee. “From the beginning I have accepted responsibility for my actions and what I have been charged with, and I am very sorry decisions have affected Brian, Cam and Melvin.”

Pearl said he made the decision to dismiss Smith, a two-time All-Southeastern Conference player, after gathering more information about the case, though he said he could not discuss specifics.

Smith’s lawyer, Knoxville attorney Don Bosch, said, “I hope and believe that the misdemeanor cases against him will be resolved quickly and consistent with the thousands

SPORTS BRIEFS QB Mallett staying at Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett is staying in college, passing up the NFL for at least one more season leading the Razorbacks’ rejuvenated offense.

Mallett announced his decision Friday. He threw for a school-record 3,624 yards this season, his first with Arkansas after transferring from Michigan and sitting out a year.

Mallett has two years of eligibility remaining, but his productive performance this season made him a candidate to jump to the pros early.

Arkansas went 8-5, beating East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl last weekend. Mallett threw for 30 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.

Reports: Mora out as coach in Seattle

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Several media outlets are reporting Jim Mora is out after one season as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

Foxsports.com is the first to report Friday that Mora has been fired after Seattle went 5-11 in his first season after taking over from Mike Holmgren. KJR-AM in Seattle says it received a text message from Mora confirming he was fired.

Calls and e-mails to team officials by The Associated Press seeking confirmation were not immediately returned.

It’s a stunning reversal from last month when team CEO Tod Leiweke gave Mora a vote of confidence. Mora himself said this week that he expected to return in 2010, despite Seattle losing its final four games.

Alabama ready to erect Saban statue

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama athletics director Mal Moore is ready to erect a statue of Nick Saban outside the football stadium now that the coach has won a national championship with the Crimson Tide.

The Tuscaloosa News quoted Moore on Friday as saying he will recommend to university President Robert Witt that the university place a statue of Saban outside BryantDenny Stadium in an area called the “Walk of Champions.”

Moore said those talks will begin immediately.

The plaza already has statues of other coaches who’ve won national championships at ’Bama.

Some fans already are on the idea of adding a Saban statue. After the BCS win over Texas, someone put a banner bearing the coach’s name across the area already set aside for the next statue.

USF fires football coach Jim Leavitt

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — South Florida has confirmed firing football coach Jim Leavitt after an investigation concluded he grabbed one of his players by the throat and slapped him in the face during halftime of a game.

A letter hand delivered to the coach and released along with a report on the three-week probe said Leavitt’s dismissal Friday was based in part on “independently corroborated statements of persons found to be in the best position to observe your conduct.”

Reached by telephone, the only coach in the program’s 13-year history told The Associated Press he was “disappointed” and the allegation was “absolutely false.”

Leavitt, who was 95-57, just completed the second season of a seven-year, $12.6 million contract.

AOL FanHouse first reported the firing.

of other true first offenders in Knox County.”

The four are scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday.

The Pulaski, Tenn., native acted as the Volunteers’ leader on the court, averaging a team-high 17.4 points last season and helping to drum up energy when his teammates struggled with their play. Smith started 12 games this season, averaging 11.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. He led the team with 44 assists and had 17 steals.

Smith, who played at Iowa as a freshman but transferred to Tennessee to be closer to his ill father, considered skipping his final year of eligibility to enter the NBA draft in June but decided against it when analysts failed to project him as a firstround pick.

Both Pearl and Smith expressed hope that the senior would return to Tennessee to complete his degree, though Smith will be subjected to a student disciplinary hearing at the university because of his arrest.

“One day soon I hope I can finish the 12 classes that I need for my degree,” Smith said. “My recent actions do not reflect who I am, and I can only hope that what I do in the future can make everyone believe in me again.”

NFL COMMENTARY AND PREDICITIONS

NFL Playoffs are here; Wildcard Saturday picks Heading into the Wildcard weekend of the NFL playoffs with two games today and two on Sunday, there is one notable absence from this year’s postseason lineup ... the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

And while the Black and Gold made the bed that they now find themselves in by losing games to Kansas City, Oakland and Cleveland during a miserable 0-5 stretch after a promising 6-2 start to the season, I have one suggested playoff tiebreaker tweak for NFL officials to consider.

How about making the No.1 tiebreaker for playoff determination be that the reigning Super Bowl champs own the No.1 tiebreaker.

Granted, this suggested rule change would not eliminate teams from pulling a Peyton Manning in the third quarter of a Week 16 game against the Jets, which was important to countless teams but virtually meaningless to the Colts. It would not stop the Patriots from laying down and surrendering a 14-point fourthquarter lead in an important Week 17 game against Houston, and it would not allow a Cincinnati team from laying down completely in a Week 17 night game against the Jets.

But this year, it would have made a huge impact on the postseason.

Although I just finished ragging on the Jets a few sentences ago, they may be good enough to advance past this first-round match up against the Bengals.

For one thing, I don’t believe in the Bengals.

I don’t believe Carson Instead of a hot Palmer has been a Super Pittsburgh team who finished the season with three Bowl type of a quarterback straight wins against Green since his knee was shredBay, Baltimore and Miami, ded in a playoff game against the Steelers a few we get the Jets, who are years ago. He still has just led by a rookie QB who’s thrown a pitiful 20 intercep- one playoff pass in his career. tions this year.

I don’t believe Marvin If the Super Bowl chamLewis is a Super Bowl type pion tiebreaker was a rule, of coach, primarily because the Steelers would have he keeps filling his roster entered this postseason on with talented hoodlums a roll and with safety Troy Polamalu back in the lineup and has led the Bengals to just one playoff loss in his just in time for another tenure, using the same forSuper Bowl run. mula over and over.

Instead, we get the Jets, The Bengals have been who in reality are no better fading the last half of the than a 7-9, possibly an 8-8 season, and they’re forteam. The Jets were the tunate to have made the beneficiaries of fluke NFL playoffs this season at all. schedule timing. The Jets Look for a heavy dose of saw the Colts and Bengals Cedrick Benson, who is lay down for them in the probably the one player final two weeks of the season, virtually giftwrapping a on the Bengals roster I do believe in.

But it is what it is, and I’ll real passing game, but they do have the No.1-ranked be watching the NFL playdefense and a solid runoffs regardless. And by the ning game, which should way, I don’t expect the Jets be more than enough to to be around long. handle Cincinnati.

Here’s my pics for Pick: Jets 23, Wildcard Saturday: Bengals 13 • N.Y. Jets at Cincinnati • Philadelphia Eagles at Bengals, 4:30 p.m. today on Dallas Cowboys, 8 p.m.

NBC

tonight on NBC This one is probably the trickiest game to pick this Wildcard weekend, because when two NFC East foes meet in the playoffs, anything can happen.

Although using history to gage picks in the NFL is dangerous business these days, I guess I’ll go with history to make this pick.

The Eagles make it to the NFC Championship a lot. The Cowboys lose in the first round of the playoff a lot.

Donovan McNabb to DeSean Jackson should happen frequently in this game with at least a couple of them going for TDs. We all know Tony Romo’s postseason wrap.

He chokes. The one time he had a chance to win a playoff game, he fumbled the snap on the extra point try. Wow. The Cowboys can point to a change in recent history entering this matchup, however. Dallas has been a miserable December team in recent years, but they actually played pretty well this past December, so there is still hope for the Blue and Gray.

Pick: Eagles 31, Dallas 24 Look for my picks for the Sunday game in tomorrow’s edition of The Mountain Press.

Chiefs hire Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Charlie Weis is back in the NFL. Barely a month after getting fired at Notre Dame, Weis signed on Friday as offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he’ll join two old friends in trying to revive a flagging franchise that’s won 10 games in three years.

“This marriage seemed very, very simple,” Weis said. “I’m very excited to be a part of a growing process that has been started here in the last year.”

In an interview on Wednesday, Weis virtually confirmed that he was coming to Kansas City to rejoin head coach Todd Haley and general manager Scott

Pioli.

Pioli was a front office executive in New England when Weis was offensive coordinator for the Patriots’ four Super Bowl teams, and Weis shared a small office with Haley for three years when they were assistants with the New York Jets.

“My relationship with Todd and my relationship

with Scott and several other persons in the organization made Kansas City look like a fine landing spot for me,” Weis said. “I couldn’t be more pleased.”

“There were plenty of places that were out there that were opportunities,” he said. “Right from the start, Kansas City was a place that intrigued me.”

Advice

Don’t give up on counseling or let family continue to demean you

Zits

Dear Annie: I’m 42, and my mother, sister and adult daughter have all informed me repeatedly that I’m worthless, useless, unattractive and unlovable. I’ve examined my whole life to try to fix whatever it is I’m doing wrong, but I just can’t seem to come up with any specific thing. I also have an ex-husband who agrees with everything they say, blames me for everything that ever went wrong in our marriage and adds that I’m lousy in bed, too. I’ve never been with anyone else to compare, but I’m too scared to discover he’s right.

So, I’ve shut myself away from all friends, family and social interactions because the last thing I want to do is upset anyone or cause them pain. It seems obvious to me that with this many people telling me how bad I am and how much I destroy their happiness, I must be a problem.

I’m informed and intelligent enough to know that I suffer from major depression, but I fail to see how counseling or medical care will help.

After all, how can a pill or a counselor undo 42 years’ worth of ingrained self-loathing and the inability to fix myself?

I don’t see how trying would be anything other than a waste of time and money.

Isn’t it better to just acknowledge that the best thing some people can do in this world is leave it?

I’m sure my family would be better off. — Ready To Quit Dear Ready: That nest of vipers certainly has done a number on you. You sound like a kind, intelligent person who has spent too many

years struggling. In some families, one person becomes the victim of abuse, and other family members think it’s OK to participate. Here’s what counseling will do for you: It will help you understand that you deserve to be loved and appreciated. And it will teach you how to deflect these bullies so they can’t use you for target practice anymore. Please make an appointment to see someone immediately.

Dear Annie: A few months ago when my husband was terminally ill in the hospital, my sister and her husband came to “give comfort and help me.” While I spent time in the hospital, they stayed in my home, went through everything in my house and stole some items that meant a lot to me.

My husband died shortly afterward.

My sister later gloated that I would never get the items back, nor would I ever convince anyone that she could have stolen them. Of course, now that I refuse to have anything to do with her, she cries on everyone’s shoulders about how mean I am.

While the stolen items had value, what bothers me more is my sister doing something so trashy and then boasting about getting away with it. I could never trust either of them again and don’t ever want them in my home. — No Name,

No Town Dear No Name: This was a terrible betrayal by someone you loved and trusted in a moment of emotional vulnerability. You need make no explanation or apology for not allowing them in your home. P.S.: If the stolen items had value, please consider taking legal action to retrieve them.

Dear Annie: “Deeply Depressed Texas Mom” said her son was marrying a very sweet girl, but the bride’s mother was shutting “Deeply” out of all the wedding plans.

She should take the high road and be gracious, and help pay for the wedding, as she had originally planned. Her son and his wife will love her forever. And when the grandchildren start arriving, they will see through it all, and she will be seen as the “loving” one. Trust me, this happened to us.

After 15 years, my daughter-in-law and I have become best friends, and her mother still doesn’t have a clue.

Deep freeze in South makes travel a challenge ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Snow and blustery winds blew into the already-frigid East on Friday and a deep freeze settled into the Deep South, making highways especially hazardous in a region unaccustomed to the chilly temperatures.

Arctic air continued to blanket much of the nation a day after a tractor-trailer jackknifed on a snow-slick Ohio road and hit a van carrying disabled adults, killing four people.

In Atlanta, more accustomed to winter temperatures in the low 50s, a glaze of ice coated roads Friday after light snow overnight melted and froze.

Nearly 30 cars piled up in a pre-dawn crash near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to stay home today, but my boss never called me back, so I thought I should try to get in,â&#x20AC;? said Beth Ament, 30, who was fueling her car so she could get to a nearby transit station to take the train to her job in downtown Atlanta.

In Alabama, packed shelters brought out extra cots and opened doors for people fearful of the deadly cold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be inside the way it is now. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find you stiff,â&#x20AC;? said Elizabeth Austin, a homeless woman who sought warmth at an inner-city Birmingham church.

Animals graze in the snow-swept meadow in Madison County along U.S. 23 near Mars Hill, N.C. Friday morning. including a 44-year-old man whose body was found face-down in the snow early Friday in Billings, Mont.

Schools in at least 10 states were closed, as were many roads and government offices.

The edge of the storm reached the Philadelphia area overnight. The National Weather Service said 5 to 7 inches of snow was expected across western Pennsylvania.

In Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas, it has snowed every day since New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a stretch that meteorologists say is unusual.

Travel was beginning to

return to normal Friday at Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airports, after a storm that dumped about 8 inches of snow.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said there were

still minor delays at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare International Airport because crews had to deice aircraft before they could take off.

Amtrak announced that its train between Chicago and Denver wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t operate on Friday because of blowing and drifting snow in Nebraska.

In Ohio, a winter storm warning was in effect until Saturday morning. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on top of the snow that had already coated Interstate 70, where a tractor-trailer spun out of control Thursday, crossed the median and swerved into oncoming traffic, colliding with a small bus transporting adult disabled passengers, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.

Three passengers on the bus were killed, as was its driver. Six other passengers on the bus, which was carrying 11 people, were injured, as was the driver of the commercial truck, Sgt. Raymond Durant said.

Snowfall was heaviest in Minnesota and parts of

South Dakota, where some drifts were too big for snowplow drivers to clear.

Nowhere was it colder than in Bismarck, N.D., where wind chills hit 52 below zero Thursday and the temperature reached 14 below. Wind chills were still near 50 below in the Dakotas for a second day.

While North Dakotans get plenty of practice with bundling up, folks in other parts of the country were still learning the basics.

With temperatures on the Texas-Mexico border descending near freezing Thursday night, officials in Laredo issued an advisory telling residents to â&#x20AC;&#x153;dress warmly and stay dry.â&#x20AC;?

In Mobile, Ala., hit by a rare arctic chill on the coast, Salvation Army spokesman Stacey Killingsworth said shelters were â&#x20AC;&#x153;filled to the brim.â&#x20AC;? One that normally holds up to 28 homeless men a night has been averaging 115 in recent days, she said.

Nation briefs ‘Hills’ star gets probation in case

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Court records show Stephanie Pratt will serve three years of informal probation after pleading no contest to a lesser charge in a drunken driving case.

Pratt, who appears on MTV’s “The Hills,” pleaded no contest to a charge of exhibition of speed in a Los Angeles court Thursday.

She was arrested in October in Hollywood and charged with drunken driving.

Pratt’s attorney, Jon Artz, says the plea deal was reached because there was no evidence Pratt was driving impaired.

Marvel sues to keep hero rights

NEW YORK (AP) — Marvel is suing to keep the rights to superheroes including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and X-Men. The federal lawsuit filed Friday in Manhattan asks a judge to invalidate notices

sent by the heirs of artist Jack Kirby to try to terminate Marvel’s copyrights.

The heirs sent notified several companies last year that the rights to the characters would revert from Marvel to Kirby’s estate.

Would-be bomber appears in court

DETROIT (AP) — A young Nigerian man, wearing a white T-shirt and tennis shoes, did not speak much Friday during his first public court hearing to face charges of trying to ignite a chemical-laden explosive on a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab gave a one word answer — “yes” — when asked whether he understood the charges against him. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon entered a not guilty plea for the 23-year-old.

Authorities say the young Nigerian with al-Qaida links was traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit when

he tried to destroy the plane carrying nearly 300 people by injecting chemicals into a package of explosives concealed in his underwear.

The shootings late Thursday occurred about the same time as an overthe-phone argument between the man and his wife, who was at work, Mount Vernon police Chief Barbara Duncan said. She would not disclose details of the argument.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will face a congressional grilling later this month about the suppression of key details on deals that funneled billions to big investment banks while he was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

President backs clean-tech jobs

WASHINGTON (AP) — After a disappointing new unemployment report, President Barack Obama pushed on Friday for an expanded government program he said would help create tens of thousands of new clean-technology jobs.

It came as Obama sought to pivot back to the domestic economy after two weeks of being riveted to the

Borrowing dips another month

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans borrowed less for a 10th consecutive month in November with total credit and borrowing on credit cards falling by the largest amounts on records going back nearly seven decades.
