Family files malpractice suit By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer
5Man’s best friend Rescued Weimaraner shows talent for dock diving, retrieval
Three Sevier County siblings have filed a wrongful death action against Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center and two local doctors, claiming negligence caused the death of their mother in November 2008. Also sued were Knoxville companies Team Health Inc., Southeastern Emergency Physicians Inc. and Vista
Radiology. The suit seeks $1.7 million in damages. Attorneys for Portia McMahan and Ray M. Carr of Sevierville and John F. Carr of Pigeon Forge filed the lawsuit late Thursday afternoon in Sevier County. They claim medical negligence of Drs. Stephen C. Dronen and Peter G. Emanuel and the nurses under their supervision caused the death of the plaintiffs’ mother, Vada Wells.
“It’s a tragic thing, and it shouldn’t have happened,” said Sevierville attorney Pat Stapleton, who is representing the plaintiffs. “Mrs. Wells was a very nice lady, the matriarch of her family. I’m honored (her children) have asked me to represent them.” Stapleton said it was best that his clients not comment on the suit. Amanda Brabson, spokeswoman for Fort Sanders Sevier,
said it was the hospital’s policy not to comment on ongoing litigation. Vista Radiology administrator Charles McCrae also declined comment. Calls to Team Health Inc. and Southeastern Emergency Physicians were not returned as of press time. The lawsuit says Wells became ill at her home around Nov. 1 and was taken to the emer-

PIGEON FORGE — City leaders know where the pipe will end, they’re just not certain yet where it begins. Officials with the Tennessee Division of Water Pollution Control approved a request from the city that it be allowed to dump treated wastewater into the French Broad River just a short distance down from where Sevierville already releases its treated effluent. City leaders have been considering their options since the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and its Division of Water Pollution Control told both them and officials in Gatlinburg they could no longer release the processed liquid into the Little Pigeon River. That sprang from worries
about the Little Pigeon’s high turbidity and E. coli levels, which have rendered the waterway too polluted for swimming, fishing and meeting state requirements. Pigeon Forge leaders expressed an interest in relocating the discharge facility, the place where the treated sewage is dumped into a river, at the same time they build a new wastewater treatment plant. That move has been necessitated in recent years by the city’s rapid growth that has overwhelmed the current plant, which has nearly reached the limits of expansion at its location adjacent to the Community Center. While they have discussed options for relocating the facility, city officials haven’t yet settled on a new site. That may seem to make securing the permit for the new discharge plant something akin to putting the cart before the horse. However, Public Works Director Mark Miller insists the city is on track to fulfill both its state requirements and its need for a new wastewaSee wastewater, Page A3

Lions Club rummage sale gives boost to local charitable efforts By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Some local folks may just get a better outlook on life thanks to some dedicated volunteers and shoppers. The Sevier County Lions Club recently held a rummage sale in downtown Sevierville, with members and browsers braving a chilly day in an unheated building to help out a good cause. A week earlier, the cold weather brought the effort to a halt, with snow forcing the Lions to cancel it. Fortunately, by Saturday the roads were clear, though the chill was still on in Sevier County. “I’ve been here all day and I’m freezing,” Lions Club Secretary Rita Barnes said, laughing. “I’m glad to be here, though. I love my community. It’s just nice to be able to help those that need help.” The Lions displayed donated sale items throughout an empty Bruce Street office building for the hearty shoppers who came by. The space was donated by the Wade family, the late patriarch of which
was a founding member of the Lions Club, which is the oldest service organization in the county at more than 70 years. “A couple of times a year we do a charity rummage sale,” group Treasurer Suzie Ferguson said. “That money stays with the Lions Club, but we use it to do our service projects. We help local folks with eyesight problems, work with the Family Resource Center, help the Salvation Army, sponsor a Boy Scout troop, and fund the search and rescue dog teams.” It’s a lengthy list that illustrates club President Bill Barnes’ point that the group’s members have some tender hearts. “Basically anything that is brought to the club that sounds worthy, we try to help with,” he explained. Unfortunately, that isn’t always easy, but is especially tough when the local economy is down like it is now.

Artists shares knowledge with GPHS students From Submitted Reports GATLINBURG — Local artist G. Webb spent the day with art students at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School to discuss watercolor art. “We felt so fortunate that he took time from his busy schedule to work with us,” said GPHS art teacher Alice Fisher. During first period Visual Arts I, Webb spoke with students about how fortunate he was to make a living with his art. He then viewed their recently completed watercolor landscapes. As a response to the 75th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, students in all three visual arts classes painted images of their favorite places in the park. Using mats and frames donated by the Jim Gray Gallery, students displayed their paintings at the school. Webb examined each

Patti Gallo-Bryant, founder of Harvest Ministries and Smoky Mountain Alliance for the Unborn, recently went to a local Bible study, ready to receive her latest message from the Lord. She just didn’t expect it would be something as huge as the call to build an orphanage in Kenya. “A woman from Fort Myers, Fla., visited our group and had a request to help buy a goat for children in Africa,” said Gallo-Bryant, a Gatlinburg resident. “Nobody said anything, nobody volunteered. I thought, ‘Lord, am I supposed to do something here?’” Before the Bible study got under way, Gallo-Bryant approached their guest. “I said, ‘Ma’am, I’d like to talk to you after this, because my ministry is supposed to help build an orphanage.’” Gallo-Bryant is no stranger to big tasks: Harvest
Ministries, which she formed to help struggling single mothers, has now changed the lives of more than 600 women and their children. It seemed fitting that the woman known to many as “The Baby Lady” would be called to help children outside of the Smoky Mountains, outside of the country. “(Kenya) is an area that has been reduced to poverty, to hunger,” she said. “The percentage of AIDS in pregnant woman there is 42 percent. The average lifespan is ages 37 to 40.” In preparing for her new mission, she has been in contact with Nancy and Don Richards of Kenya Island Missions, a Christian-based ministry established to educate in sustainable usemanagement and conservation. A branch of the ministry is Suba Environmental Education of Kenya (SEEK), which “provides opportunities for young and old to know God...while becoming environmentally literate and

The court document says Wells was nauseated and vomiting and was suspected to have a small bowel obstruction. Nasogastric intubation was ordered by Dronen, which the lawsuit says involved the insertion of a plastic tube through the nose, past the throat and into the stomach. Nursing personnel inserted the tube, and a portable chest X-ray was made “to verify the placement of the tube past the throat and down into the stomach,� the lawsuit says. “The portable chest X-ray was read and interpreted� by Emanuel,� the document reads. “The X-ray was nondiagnostic for nasogastric tube

Confluence Solar announces $200M plant NASHVILLE (AP) — Confluence Solar Inc. plans to build a $200 million solar manufacturing plant in East Tennessee, Gov. Phil Bredesen and company officials announced Thursday. John DeLuca, a co-founder of the Hazelwood, Mo.-based company, said the 200,000-square-foot facility in Clinton is projected to create 250 jobs once it reaches full capacity. Depending on demand, that could be as soon as within 18 months, but the company said as few as 50 and 75 people will be enough to get operations started. DeLuca, who once worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, said the choice of the site off Interstate 75 in Anderson County was strengthened by the proximity to the lab and to the new stimulus-funded Solar Institute at
the University of Tennessee. “For a small startup company like ours, it is hard to overstate the importance of being close to ... the people and the analytical resources available there,� he said. He also cited the polysilicon plants being built in Tennessee by Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. and Wacker Chemie AG. Both plants will produce the material used by Confluence Solar to make premium quality silicon ingots for solar cells. DeLuca said 17 other Tennessee communities competed for the plant. Bredesen said Thursday’s announcement was evidence that Tennessee’s emphasis on green energy investment is paying off. “I’m becoming convinced that
it’s increasingly difficult for companies in the clean energy sector to ignore the momentum that we’re building in Tennessee,� he said. The governor also noted that the announcement comes on the heels of another Clinton company, SL America Corp., winning a major contract to make automatic shifter assemblies for the new Volkswagen plant being built in Chattanooga. “No matter what the weather is around the state, I think the sun is shining in Anderson County right now,� he said. Bredesen said Thursday’s announcement was distinct from efforts to attract what he has called a “major� commercial investment related to Tennessee’s biofuels program.

Officials have discussed the possibility of using the large tract for other projects if it’s purchased, including athletic fields and constructing a permanent home for the rod runs that frequent Pigeon Forge. The main reason work
hasn’t yet started on any of the needed wastewater projects, according to city officials, is money. Starting with this year’s budget, municipal officials have begun socking away cash to help fund the effort, which will certainly cost a considerable amount once construction is done on the new plant and easements are secured for the force main to the French Broad River. As for the new discharge plant, those with objections to the site have the option of registering their complaints within 30 days of Tuesday, when a public notice of the new permit
was listed in The Mountain Press, with the Water Quality Control Board, which could then schedule a hearing to address the issues. For more information on

that,” Ferguson said. “We do everything we can to increase what we can do for the community.” To keep up with all the good work, Lions do a lot of hard work, putting on yard sales like the one Saturday, operating a recycling program and doing an annual nut sale, which is going on now. Those efforts also often call for a lengthy membership list, stocked with folks like the Barneses and Ferguson willing to get their hands dirty for the cause. “It seems volunteerism as a whole has sort of waned through the years,” Bill Barnes
said. “We’re always looking for new members and people who will be willing to help out with our projects. Sometimes it’s just tough to find people who want to help.” Barnes and the others push membership every chance they get, inviting those who come into their events to attend the club’s regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at Shoney’s in Sevierville. Still, the group has struggled to bring in the numbers it needs, so much so that the Sevierville and Pigeon Forge organizations recently joined forces to increase not just their numbers but what they’re able to do, with each dropping their own identifications to adopt

Lorry Cardullo brought daughter Samantha and soon-to-be daughter-in-law Britney Huff along as she paced the worn carpet in the cinder block building, searching for what Ferguson called, “That thing you can’t live without or the one you can but still want to give us a donation for and take home.” Cardullo said she heard about
speech and the presentation of the colors. The traditional lighting of the flame will take place on Monday at 9 a.m. at Ober Gatlinburg. The Winter Games competition is being conducted by Tim Doyle, Smoky Mountain Snow Sport School, Alpine skiing; Orson Bell, snowboarding; and Kathy Doyle, Ober Gatlinburg facilities coordinator. Many organizations such as American Legion Post 202 and Auxiliary 202, Gatlinburg Department Of Tourism, Garden Plaza of Gatlinburg, Smoky Mountain Ski Club, Smoky Mountain Snow Sport School, Ober Gatlinburg, American Eagle Outfitters and other Sevier County businesses support Special Olympics Tennessee. Over 14,000 athletes participate in Special Olympics Tennessee, which provides year-round training and competition opportunities in 19 sports.

More importantly, though, as Huff pointed out, they knew their money would go somewhere it’s needed if they did find that must-have item. “It’s for a good cause,” she said. The rummage sale remains set up in the building at 122 Bruce Street through this week.

John Edwards admits to fathering child RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards finally admitted Thursday he fathered a child during an affair before his second White House bid, dropping long-standing denials just ahead of a book by a former campaign aide who initially took the fall. Edwards released a statement admitting paternity of the girl, Frances Quinn Hunter, who was born in 2008 to videographer Rielle Hunter as the result of an affair Edwards has already confessed to. “It was wrong for me to ever deny she was my daughter,� Edwards said, adding he was providing financial support for the child and mother. “I am Quinn’s father.� Elizabeth Edwards, who has been battling an incur-
able return of cancer since 2007, said in an interview with The Associated Press that “the whole family is relieved.� S h e declined to discuss the couple’s marital Edwards status and said she didn’t know where things will go from here. “If somebody has a crystal ball, they can let me know,� she said when asked what was next for her and John Edwards. The admission comes ahead of the Feb. 2 release of a book by former Edwards aide Andrew Young that is expected to describe how Edwards worked to hide his paternity with Young’s help.
Pelosi: House lacks votes to OK Senate health bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats’ best last-ditch approach to saving President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care overhaul — prodding House members to pass a Senate version vastly unpopular there — isn’t working. So attention is shifting to crafting much more modest health legislation that could have bipartisan appeal, and even that may prove more complicated than many lawmakers suggest. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she lacks the votes to move the Senate’s bill through the House and to Obama’s desk, a plan that’s backed by the White House. Under that scenario, the new law would be followed by a separate measure making changes sought by House members, such as easing the Senate’s tax on higher-cost health plans. Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke to reporters after House Democrats held a closed-door meeting at which participants vented frustration with the Senate legislation. Many rank-and-file Democrats said their stunning defeat in this week’s Massachusetts special election — in which Republicans captured the Senate seat held for decades by the late Edward Kennedy — meant it was time to seek more modest health legislation.

Obama steps up campaign against Wall Street banks WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama stepped up his campaign against Wall Street on Thursday with a far-reaching proposal for tougher regulation of the biggest banks. “We have to get this done,� Obama said at the White House. “If these folks want a fight, it’s a fight I’m ready to have.� The stock market reacted by dropping more than 200 points by midday as shares in Bank of America, Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. each fell by more than 5 percent. It was a stern, populist lecture from the president to Wall Street for what he perceives as its abandonment of Main Street. Obama said the government should have
the power to limit the size and complexity of large financial institutions as well as their ability to make highrisk trades. He said it wasn’t appropriate that banks have been able to run these trading operations with the protections afforded to regular banking services. “We have to enact commonsense reforms that will protect American taxpayers and the American economy from future crises,� Obama said. “For, while the financial system is far stronger today than it was one year ago, it’s still operating under the same rules that led to its nearcollapse.� Joining Obama for the announcement were former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who
heads the president’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and William Donaldson, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President George W. Bush. Volcker and Donaldson have advocated stronger restrictions on banks. Overhauling financial rules is the one issue on Obama’s legislative agenda that appears still alive after Democrats’ devastating loss Tuesday in the Massachusetts Senate race. The White House is renewing Obama’s demand for an independent consumer financial protection agency as part of any overhaul. That’s one of the major sticking points in the Senate; the House has passed its version already.

Senate passes higher ed proposal NASHVILLE (AP) — The Senate on Thursday unanimously passed Gov. Phil Bredesen’s plan for overhauling the state’s higher education system to improve Tennessee’s poor graduation rate at community colleges and four-year schools. Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle said the measure is “about taking higher education to a higher place.” Tennessee’s graduation rate ranks 42nd nationally. “We’re starting the process of eliminating
barriers to people getting educated,” said Kyle, D-Memphis. The Senate voted 32-0 to approve the plan Thursday morning, while the House was scheduled to vote on its version later in the day. A key element of the proposal would change the way the state pays for higher education by basing the funding formula on graduation rates and student retention, rather than the number of students enrolled at a school.
The graduation rate at public four-year schools in Tennessee is 44 percent and just 12 percent at community colleges. The measure also would shift all remedial courses from four-year schools to community colleges. It also would automatically allow students with an associate’s degree to transfer as a junior to any fouryear school except the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. “What we’re talking about is bang for the buck
for the students, and in most cases the parents who are paying for their kids to be in school,” said Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville. “We will have truth in advertising that if you take a class at a two-year school that it ought to transfer to a four-year school. The higher education proposal is the second major piece of legislation being considered in a special session called by the Democratic governor.

commentary
We can show world what we can do In February 1961, President Kennedy asked this question of Jawaharlal Nehru, the prime minister of India: “What do you think of the idea of our Peace Corps?” Nehru answered that he thought it was a good idea, that pampered young Americans would learn a great deal about life serving in the villages of India. Kennedy was not amused. Like any other American, he thought we were sending out some of our best and brightest to remake Indians and other poor people around the world. Years later, in researching a film about young men and women who served in the corps, I learned that Nehru was right. India was not changed a bit, but the American volunteers who went there were changed for life. In disproportionate numbers, they chose lives of service in humanitarian and social work, government and non-governmental aid work and sometimes as writers or reporters. Giving is more blessed than receiving. I’m on the road now promoting my book, “Daring Young Men,” about the pilots and crews who risked their lives to deliver food, fuel and medicine to West Berlin in 1948 and 1949. Soviet troops blockaded the city’s land routes to try to drive out the Allies, and we kept the 2 million desperate people of the former enemy capital alive by landing rickety war surplus planes every 90 seconds until the Soviets finally gave up. Those young men did change the world. But the work of the airlift changed most of them as much. In researching the book in four countries (the United States, Germany, Great Britain and France), I was surprised that the men involved saw the airlift as the highlight of their lives. “All I saw were starving women and children,” said Lt. Gail Halvorsen, a C-54 pilot. “They looked at us like we were angels from heaven. ... I came from a dirt farm in Utah. We were religious people. I felt a lot better feeding people than killing them.” Of course, we weren’t all angels, but as Lincoln had said, there are missions that bring out the better angels of our nature. I decided to write about the airlift at a time when I saw few better angels. When an interviewer asked me why I decided to write the book, I said, “Abu Ghraib.” It was not only that “incident.” It was the fact that I could not stand the America of “preventative war,” of “extraordinary rendition” — of torture. That was not the America I grew up in,part of a nation I thought did the right thing because it was the right thing, a country that led by example rather than power — even when we had so much power. So, moving now to Haiti. A great tragedy in a sad place, as helpless as West Berlin was in 1948 when President Truman, against the advice of all his wise men and generals, said: “We stay in Berlin. Period.” And also amid the attacks of political opponents — this was the time of the Truman-Dewey election — who said it could not be done, we were surrounded by a million men of the Red Army, and that, anyway, it would cost too much money. We did stay. Made a lot of mistakes, but finally figured it out and made it work, showing that the impossible takes a little while. Maybe it re-elected Truman; it certainly made him more popular with enthusiastic backing from many Americans who had under-rated him. It defined America in the eyes of much of the world and in the red-white-and-blue hearts of a lot of little kids like me. This is from a letter written years later by a German boy the same age as me. Wolfgang Samuel became a colonel in the U.S. Air Force and a distinguished writer as well: “The (Americans) were so different from the soldiers I had known — those had been men with hard faces and guns. The Airlift soldiers were not like that ... they looked more like people to whom life had been good and didn’t mind sharing their good fortune.” I hope now that we will stay in Haiti doing what needs to be done. I’m sure we’ll screw up some of it, but it is a chance to show the world what Americans and the American military can do. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial
Hot on the trail Tell Gatlinburg officials what you think of greenways trail idea The cities that continue to prosper from tourism will be those that never settle for what they have, but always strive to attract more and improve their communities in other ways. The city of Gatlinburg has invested millions of dollars over the last few years to put downtown electrical wiring underground. The project is not completed — the next phase is due to begin soon — but what has been completed so far is spectacular. It has transformed the central business district. The change is noticeable to repeat visitors as well as locals. Now Gatlinburg is considering another ambitious project, this one to create a Greenways Trail System. What are we talking about? Greenways are generally described as corridors of protected land along waterways, ridgelines and utility corridors that are used for recreation purposes. These greenways usually contain trails that serve walkers, runners,
bicyclists, skaters and hikers. They provide recreation, exercise opportunities, tourist and business attractions, and important environmental benefits. The leaders of Gatlinburg understand they have many assets that attract millions of visitors. But the city also could use more recreational opportunities. Tourists want such amenities when they travel, and locals crave them. To that end, the city is developing a master plan to show the paths of such trails and what they might encompass. And they want the public’s help in developing this plan. On Tuesday the city will hold the second workshop to discuss the greenways trail proposal and get citizen input into the development of the master plan. The engineering firm that will draw up the plan will have representatives there to talk about it and show proposed routes. Maps will be on display. But what is needed is public input.
City officials want to respond to the ideas and desires of their residents. The 5 p.m. workshop next Tuesday at City Hall will show cost estimates, how the project might be phased in over time — as the undergrounding project has been — and whether the whole idea of a greenways trail in Gatlinburg is feasible. If you want to tell your city leader what you think of the project, go to the Tuesday meeting and sound off. No idea or suggestion is too farfetched or outlandish. Greenways trails are a major initiative of the state, as officials urge local communities to consider them as added benefits. In a time when obesity is alarmingly on the rise, and children live such sedentary lives, we ought to be encouraging anything that would get people moving and active. If you think so and have other ideas, make it over to City Hall on Tuesday.

I want all that were concerned, especially those mentioned above, to know you are in my prayers and I will never forget how concerned each of you were. No matter where we come from, we all need each other at some time, and I am thankful for living in one of the best places on earth. Barbara Tucibat Sevierville

County small school champions MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Pi Beta Phi boys capture small schools title By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
The Pi Beta Phi Mountaineers and coach Mike Tinker captured their second-straight small schools tournament.
PITTMAN CENTER — The Pi Beta Phi boys basketball team capped off their fifth-straight Sevier County small schools regular season championship with their second-straight tournament title on Thursday night. The Mountaineer boys stormed past a gritty Caton’s Chapel team 50-37, thanks mostly to a huge 15-2 run in the first quarter that set the tone for the entire game. Riding the hot shooting of Clay Leatherwood, Trevor Jain and Chad Ayers early, along with some big rebounding from Spencer Brien, Pi Beta jumped out to a 17-4 lead by the end of
the first quarter. An unusual four-point play from Caton’s Chapel’s Steffan Schroder at the 2:26 mark in the second cut the lead back down to 11 at 24-13, but the Mountaineers closed out the half on another 7-0 run. The Mountaineers built their lead to its biggest at 35-16 in the third, but Caton’s mounted a comeback as Riley Trotter and Luke Stone sparked the team to a 10-2 run to close out the quarter. The Hornets closed to within nine at one point in the fourth, but Leatherwood hit two big 3-pointers late to put the game See MOUNTAINEERS, Page A10

Lady Mountaineers earn girls county crown By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PITTMAN CENTER — The Pi Beta Phi Lady Mountaineers looked unstoppable Thursday night as they cruised past Caton’s Chapel 41-11 in the finals of the Sevier County small schools tournament championship. The victory gave the girls their second such trophy in a row. Holding on to a 6-4 lead after a nip-and-tuck first quarter, a switch flipped for the Lady Mountaineers. Macee Tinker and Micki Werner couldn’t be stopped, outscoring the Lady Hornets 14-0 in the quarter, and teammate Mariah Herrell chipped in a free throw to push the
team to a comfortable 21-4 lead by halftime. Caton’s Chapel found the basket again in the third quarter, but it was too little, too late, as Pi Beta maintained their lead and expanded it just before the buzzer on two Tinker free throws to 29-10. The fourth quarter played out like the second, as Pi Beta outscored the Lady Hornets 12-1 to seal the victory. Werner ended the game with 17 points, followed by Tinker with 15. Sidney Perry added six and Herrell chipped in three. Bethany Sutton was Caton’s Chapel’s top scorer with five.

SC boys topple the Hilltoppers; girls can’t come back By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

Sevier County’s Amanda Parton dribbles past the Science Hill defense down low.
SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Smoky Bears (17-2) picked up an impressive win over one of the most storied programs in East Tennessee Thursday night, while the Bearettes (6-12) fell short in a comeback bid. Coach Ken Wright’s Bears used a huge third quarter surge to blow by the Science Hill Hilltoppers (16-6) 61-44. “I was really pleased,” Wright said. “That was a great win for us. It’s good for these kids to beat a team with that kind of tradition. They deserved it with their effort tonight.” The Bears didn’t start with the effort their coach wanted, however. “It was 21-21 at halftime, and I just felt like we weren’t matching their intensity, and we talked about that at halftime.”
In the second half, the team tood their coach’s words to heart. “We came out and really matched their intensity and went above it. We hit a three to start the third, and then made about four-straight baskets,” Wright said. “We went on a 19-9 run to build a 10-point lead going into the fourth, and then we outscored them 21-14 in the fourth. “We did a really good job handling their pressure. Probably 30 percent of their offense comes off of their defensive pressure, and we really did a great job with that. We spaced well on offense and got some good looks and knocked down shots.” Junior Josh Johnson led the team with 16 points. He was followed by point guard Zac Gonzalez’s 14 and senior forward Austin Nave’s 13. Jordan Henrickson added Jason Davis/The Mountain Press seven, and Bentley Manning, In this stock photo Josh Johnson scored two for the Bears. Johnson had 16 points See SCHS, Page A10 Thursday night.
PREP BOWLING
Bears bowl over Seymour for region championship By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — The Sevier County Smoky Bears bowled their way to the school’s fifth region championship Thursday night, knocking off defending Region 2 title winner Seymour by a score of 18-9. “It was a total team effort,” SCHS coach Dixon Brown said of his team’s performance.
Michael Matheson had the high average for the Bears, rolling for a 236 average in the three games, including a 269 in the second. The first game went to Seymour 4-2, as Cory Cox, who qualified as the state’s no.1 seed as an individual, fired a 236 to lead his squad to the opening victory, as Dylan McClure, Quinton Aubodom and Cody Cravens also picked up head-to-head wins.
But Sevier County won the battle of total pins in the first match, as they did in the second set of games, which ended in a head-to-head tie. The Bears came out on fire in the third series of games, as Matheson bowled a 225 and teammate Ryan Chapman scored a 244 to pick up a pair of head-to-head wins, while fellow Bears Dakota Wells and Dalton Rogers also secured victories in
their matches, sealing the win for SCHS. Total pinfall in the match went to Sevier County 3,286 to 3,218. Sevier County will play Greeneville on Monday at 2 p.m. at the Pigeon Forge Community Center for their sectional matchup, while Seymour will face Dobyns-Bennett in a 1 p.m. start in Kingsport. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt talks with an official after a technical foul was called on Tennessee during the second half the Lady Vols’ game against Georgia in Athens, Ga., on Thursday.. Georgia beat Tennessee 53-50. LADY VOLS BASKETBALL
No. 8 Georgia deals Summitt’s Lady Vols second loss of season By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer
Aware of just how fatigued his players were, Landers screamed at the manager to make sure everyone had enough water for the final 18 seconds. Feisty to the end, Georgia never gave the Lady Vols a good look at a potentially tying 3-pointer, finally forcing Shekinna Stricklen to heave up a jumper from far beyond the arc. It never had a chance. Asked how the manager reacted to his tongue-lashing, Landers quipped, “I think I hurt her feelings. I’ll take her to IHOP later to make her feel better.� Alyssia Brewer converted a three-point play that put the Lady Vols ahead with 1:07 left, but Phillips scored the final four points to give Georgia a validating victory. The Lady Dogs haven’t
made the Final Four since 1999 and last made it to a regional final in 2004. A year ago, they were knocked out in the first round of the NCAA tournament. “This is Georgia’s tradition,� Landers said. “This is why I hope these players chose to come here.� Georgia snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Lady Vols, posting its first victory in the series since the 2004 SEC tournament. The Lady Dogs had not beaten Tennessee in Athens in a decade — a 78-51 victory on Jan. 17, 2000.

ATHENS, Ga. — Even with Georgia ranked in the top 10, there were still lingering doubts about whether the Lady Bulldogs truly belonged among the nation’s elite. The skeptics got their answer Thursday night. Pulling off one of its biggest victories in years, No. 8 Georgia won a downand-dirty scrap with the school that all others in the Southeastern Conference measure themselves by. Porsha Phillips scored the go-ahead basket off a pass from Ashley Houts with 39 seconds remaining, then added two free throws that clinched a 53-50 upset of third-ranked Tennessee. “The thing I’m most proud of is where our team has come from,� said Houts, one of three Georgia starters who played the entire 40 minutes. “This year, we focused on the word change. We focused on getting prepared for where we need to be. We wanted to be a team that could compete with the best teams out there. I think we’ve shown the potential to do that.� Houts led the Lady Bulldogs (18-1, 5-1) with 12 points and Phillips had 10, but this bruising game was decided at the defensive end. Georgia shot just 36 percent from the field — including a 3-of-19 start to the second half — and was outrebounded 37-23. The home team made up for its shortcomings when the Lady Volunteers (16-2, 4-1) had it. The Lady Dogs
hustled back every time, swatted at the ball every chance they got and wound up forcing Tennessee into a staggering 23 turnovers. “You’ve not going to get a selfish player to play defense,� Georgia coach Andy Landers said. “So the greatest compliment you can pay our team is this is a very, very unselfish group of kids. We don’t put anybody on the floor who doesn’t just play her tail off on the defensive end.� The Lady Dogs didn’t put many players on the floor — period. Houts, Jasmine James and Meredith Mitchell played the entire game. Angel Robinson was on the court for all but three minutes, while Phillips went to the bench for a mere four minutes. Only two other players even checked in for Georgia.

Jets’ big task is stopping Manning By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Kerry Rhodes was watching film of Peyton Manning when something jumped off the screen. There was the four-time MVP quarterback hitting the turf, trying at all costs to avoid contact. “He doesn’t want to get hit,� the New York Jets safety said Wednesday. “So, if there’s a free guy, he’ll actually just go down and give up the sack. If you get pressure on him, once you do that, he gets to talking to his linemen and they’re a little edgier and a little rattled.� The trick is actually getting to Manning, of course. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback was sacked just 10 times during the regular season, the fewest in the league, and he’s a master at figuring out defenses. “I compare him to a conductor in an orchestra,� defensive tackle Sione Pouha said. “He knows when to call for the trumpets, the violins and the cymbals and when to bring them all in one accord. With the offense, he’s just able to orchestrate the best way to get at a defense.� The Jets’ top-ranked defense held Manning and the Colts’ high-scoring offense mostly in check the last time they played. Well, at least for the two-plus quarters they were in the game. They know they’ll
Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips looks on during the final minutes the Cowboys game with the Seattle Seahawks, Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009, in Arlington, Texas. The Cowboys won 38-17.
Cowboys keeping coach Wade Phillips for 2 more seasons By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer IRVING, Texas — Wade Phillips is sticking around as coach of the Dallas Cowboys for two more years. Dallas won the NFC East for the second time in Phillips’ three seasons. The team also won its first playoff game since 1996 and the first in Phillips’ head coaching career. The Cowboys are 34-17 over his three seasons in charge. Only three NFL teams have won more games in that span. “We want to build on the foundation we have put in place over the last three years,� team owner Jerry Jones said Thursday, when announcing Phillips’ new two-year deal. “I want to take advantage of the continuity.� Jones could have picked up an option for 2010 that
was part of the three-year deal Phillips signed when he replaced Bill Parcells following the 2006 season. There also was speculation Phillips would get another three-year deal, but Jones said he opted instead to only go through 2011 because “two years in the NFL is an eternity.� “There’s no comfort zone about it,� Jones said. “It addresses the urgency of where we want to go from here.� Jones would not give any specifics about the financial terms, although he made it clear there would be a hefty bonus for reaching a Super Bowl. “Is he being overpaid? Not one penny,� Jones said. “Is he being underpaid? Probably, for what I think he is. The bottom line is we have something that works. He has great incentive to doing what he wants to do anyway.�
see Manning & Co. for four quarters this time in the AFC championship game Sunday, and will need to pressure him early with a Super Bowl berth on the line. “You can’t let him sit back there and get his feet planted and throw with ease,� linebacker Calvin Pace said. “We need to get him off his spot a little bit, give him a couple of different looks that he hasn’t seen. There is no one better than Peyton Manning, and everybody knows that.� Despite allowing only 15 points, the Jets were unable to put much heat on Manning. Before taking a seat early in the third quarter, Manning was 14 for 21 for 192 yards in New York’s 29-15 victory over then-undefeated Indianapolis in Week 16. “If I take anything away from that game, it’s that I must know my job that much better than he knows his job,� defensive lineman Marques Douglas said. “Saying that, I have to press the pocket and get in his face because a guy like that, if you don’t pressure him, it’s going to be a long day.� The Jets realize the Colts could’ve put more on the scoreboard against them if not for some errant throws. Manning missed Reggie Wayne by a step early on a long pass that likely would’ve been a touchdown. He also overthrew Dallas Clark by a step or two on another long toss that might’ve gone for a
score. “You don’t trick him very often,� safety Jim Leonhard said. “You don’t confuse him very easily, not that you’re not going to try. You’ve got to throw a lot of different things at him and just get him to think that extra split-second.� And, sometimes, you can have the perfect defense called and it still won’t matter. “It was ridiculous,� Rhodes said. “There was one play we did something and he pointed out, out of
the 11 people, probably 10 jobs and still had 10 seconds to get the play off. It was pretty remarkable.� The key to Manning’s success is his ability to get the ball and accurately heave it so quickly, avoiding pressure simply because defensive linemen and blitzing linebackers can’t get there soon enough. “He feels pressure and he moves around the pocket well,� linebacker Bryan Thomas said. “Tom Brady is the same way. You know how hard it is to look at your

Both Williams advance; Ivanovic out in 2nd round By JOHN PYE AP Sports Writer MELBOURNE, Australia — Defending champion Serena Williams had no problems beating Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-1 to move into a third-round match against Carla Suarez Navarro, who ended her sister Venus’ run early at the last Australian Open. Williams converted four of her 11 breakpoint chances against No. 77-ranked Kvitova in a second-round match which lasted 67 minutes on Thursday, immediately after Venus Williams beat Austria’s Sybille Bammer 6-2, 7-5 on Hisense Arena. Serena Williams has won the Australian Open every odd-numbered year since 2003, the year she beat older sister Venus in the final. Venus, in her 10th Australian Open, has won seven Grand Slam singles titles but hasn’t gone beyond the fourth round in Australia since ’03. She was upset in the second-round last year by Spaniard Suarez Navarro, who beat Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-1, 6-4 earlier Thursday. Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 Australian Open finalist, extended her run of poor
results in a second-round 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-4 loss to Gisela Dulko of Argentina. “It’s hard. It hurts, I must say. For sure it will. But it’s a process,� said Ivanovic, who slipped from No. 1 to No. 21 and didn’t win a tournament in 2009. “I do feel better on the court. I’m playing much better. I feel like my old self. There are still some areas that are not there for me to rely on. “I just have to sort of keep my head up and try to improve, work.� U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark advanced 6-3, 6-1 over Julia Goerges of Germany and will next play No. 29 Shahar Peer of Israel, who beat Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 6-1, 6-4. Among the women advancing were No. 7 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, No. 9 Vera Zvonareva of Russia, No. 10 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 16 Li Na of China and No. 32 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain. Back on the court where he won his only Grand Slam title, Novak Djokovic overcame an early struggle against Swiss journeyman Marco Chiudinelli before advancing 3-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3.

Haiti’s mass graves swell; doctors fear more death

Lessons from 2004 tsunami applied in Haiti BANGKOK (AP) — The effort to help Haiti recover from its devastating earthquake can draw on lessons learned in other large-scale tragedies, particularly the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed at least 230,000 people across a dozen countries, rescue officials say. The same scenes of bodies littering the ground or stacked along roadways in Haiti are flashbacks to the tsunami devastation, but Bakri Beck, who headed relief activities in Indonesia’s devastated Banda Aceh province — where 167,000 people died from the magnitude-9 earthquake and tsunami — said saving survivors must remain the priority. “One of the things that is clearly happening this time around in Haiti ... is a focus on trying to apply lessons from previous emergencies,� said Ben Ramalingam, head of Research and Development for London-based Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action. “This time around, there is much more of a focus on what could be done better, what could be learned at the outset.� Connecticut-based AmeriCares provided more than $45 million in aid for tsunami survivors, and is now in Haiti distributing more than $6 million worth of medical aid. “Certainly, we learned a lot of lessons from the tsunami,� said Christoph Gorder, the group’s vice president of Emergency Response. “Our response team is better organized and trained. Our capacity to manage a very large number of moving pieces is better. This means we are quicker to respond to offers of help — everything from supplies to planes — and requests for assistance. “I feel like we are handling a similar volume of activity as the tsunami, but with much more efficiency,� he said. Ramalingam said a key lesson is that aid agencies need to spend as much time planning as they do carrying out operations. “There were some notable innovations in the tsunami response, which were scaled up in ways not seen before, for example, the use of cash as an alternative to food saw its widest application,� he said. Gorder said he believed at this stage aid operations in Haiti were running more efficiently than at the same point after the tsunami. “Despite the frustrations, I believe that there are significantly more assets on the ground and people being helped in Haiti today than at this juncture in the tsunami response,� he said.
ALTY AT HEVROLET
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Workers are carving out mass graves on a hillside north of Haiti’s capital, using earth-movers to bury 10,000 earthquake victims in a single day while relief workers warn the death toll could increase. Medical clinics have 12-day patient backlogs, untreated injuries are festering and makeshift camps housing thousands of survivors could foster disease, experts said. “The next health risk could include outbreaks of diarrhea, respiratory tract infections and other diseases among hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in overcrowded camps with poor or nonexistent sanitation,� said Dr. Greg Elder, deputy operations
manager for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti. Hoping to assess the scope of the crisis, World Food Program chief Josette Sheeran planned to visit Haiti on Thursday, as did European Union aid chief Karel De Gucht. The death toll is estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission now estimates 2 million homeless, up from 1.5 million, and says 250,000 are in need of urgent aid. In the sparsely populated wasteland of Titanyen, north of Portau-Prince, burial workers on Wednesday said the macabre task of handling the never-ending flow of
bodies was traumatizing. “I have seen so many children, so many children. I cannot sleep at night and, if I do, it is a constant nightmare,� said Foultone Fequiert, 38, his face covered with a T-shirt against the overwhelming stench. The dead stick out at all angles from the mass graves — tall mounds of chalky dirt, the limbs of men, women and children frozen together in death. “I received 10,000 bodies yesterday alone,� said Fequiert. Workers say they have no time to give the dead proper religious burials or follow pleas from the international community that bodies be buried in shallow graves from which loved ones might eventually retrieve them.

Alex, a 20-month-old Weimaraner, keeps his eye on the ball as his owner, Trent Steele of Seymour, prepares to fling it across Patriot Park.
Man’s best friend
Rescued Weimaraner shows talent for dock dog diving, retrieval
Submitted
Alex won first- and second-place honors in a recent Dock Dog event in Dayton, Ohio.
By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Alex’s body vibrates with unleashed excitement. His eyes remain intently focused on the prize that awaits him. With a flick of the wrist he’s off at the speed of light. The routine is repeated over and over as Alex’s owner, Trent Steele of Seymour, throws a tennis ball for his 20-month-old blue Weimaraner Alex. The 20 months is an estimate. Steele, 34, rescued the canine about eight months ago from the Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue. They guessed Alex was about a year old at the time. Alex was brought to Wolf Creek from a shelter in Elizabethton. He was emaciated and the staff at Wolf Creek went to work putting some weight on the animal. Steele found Alex after searching for a new dog. “I lost my dog Spencer,” Steele said. The Rottweiler Steele owned for the dog’s entire 13 years of life passed away. Steele began searching for another pet and looked around, visiting shelters and meeting a couple of other dogs. “But they didn’t work out,” he said. They just didn’t click. The click came, however, when Steele met Alex at the Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue facility in Kingsport. Was it love at first sight? “Yeah, it actually was,” Steele said. “He’s my boy. I love him to death. I’d do anything for that dog.” But like all relationships, it took some time to adjust. First, there was Alex’s health to deal with. “He was very skinny,” Steele said. He worked on continuing the process the staff at Wolf Creek started in fattening the dog up. Now Alex goes through a $52 bag of high protein dog food each month, most of the calories from which he blows through with all of the activity he requires. Weimaraners, as a breed, Steele said need a lot of exercise, otherwise the owner — mostly his belongings — may bear the wrath of the understimulated animal. “I think he needs Ritalin sometimes,” Steele joked as Alex dropped the tennis ball at his feet. “If he doesn’t get enough exercise, he can start tearing into stuff.” But if he provides Alex with enough exercise time, that runs a lot of the dog’s

Alex barrels toward the tennis ball his owner Trent Steele threw. energy down so he’s not chewing on shoes, boxes or other items left in easy reach. Steele, a training manager for McAllister’s Deli, said he can spend anywhere from an hour to three hours throwing the ball for Alex. He has a long tool he uses to make the ball go further. “That’s all he loves to do is chase the ball,” Steele said. Alex also likes to jump after balls thrown into water, but before he learned to like that, he had to learn how to swim. “He didn’t know how to swim,” Steele said. “When I first got him I took him to a park with a pond,” he said. Alex would get into the water but didn’t do all that well at first. “He would just high paddle,” Steele said. Then he saw other dogs jumping into the water from docks and followed suit. Soon he was jumping further than many of the other dogs. Steele began entering Alex in dock dog diving events. He’s won first and second place awards in several events in the amateur categories. He’s also won awards in retrieving events. At a recent Buckeye DockDogs event in Dayton, Ohio, Alex came away with first place in the Big Air competition with a jump of 21 feet 7 inches. He earned second place in the Speed Retrieve competition

Steele is working to help organize a club for owners and fans of Weimaraners, called Smokey Mountain Weimaraners. They will be part of a March 13 fundraiser in Knoxville called the Weim and Cheese event.

‘Simplifying’ helps some to endure and succeed Increasingly, college athletic coaches text, tweet, e-mail, and use such things as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and other networking devices to communicate with potential signees for their teams. This especially heats up for football coaches as Signing Day for NCAA Division I-A / FBS approaches, annually held on the first Wednesday in February. Because of college coaches’ heightened participation in today’s electronic communication revolution, my attention was caught by a response during the most recent football bowl season when one sportscaster asked another, “What do you think accounts for Joe Paterno’s longevity?” (For the record: 83-year-old “JoePa” became assistant coach at Penn State University in 1950, was promoted to head coach in 1966, and has won more games than any other coach in the history of Division 1-A / FBS. He has also won more bowl games, including the 2010 Capital One Bowl.) The second sportscaster responded to the longevity question by saying, “Well, for one thing, he doesn’t own a cell phone or know how to use a computer.” Coach Joe Paterno of the Nittany Lions is a true “throwback.” Graduating

Dear Annie: I have been with “Sven” for two years, and we have been living together since August. He is good to me and my two kids, but I’m having a problem. For starters, Sven has stopped telling me he loves me. Last night, when I told him I loved him, he responded that he “really likes me a lot.” Also, I am a full-time student, and he disagrees with my choice to become a paramedic. I cannot talk to him about school, as he says it bores him. If I ask him to go somewhere with me, he won’t. He no longer visits my parents, which I can tolerate, but I said holidays should be an exception. He disagreed, saying his family doesn’t celebrate holidays, so last Christmas, my children and I went to my parents’ and then visited my brother for five days. The night before I left, I found out Sven was going to his brother’s house for Christmas and that it had been planned for more than a week. He lied to me about it and then quickly invited me to come with on Christmas morning. When I stopped at his brother’s on my way out of town, his sister-in-law accused me of being rude because I didn’t respond to her invitation -- the one I didn’t know about. Sven has no desire to change, and I am becoming miserable. I spent my entire savings to attend school, and Sven helps pay the bills. I don’t graduate for another year and
cannot afford day care. Until this summer, our relationship was great. I don’t want to give up yet. What are my options? -Anastasia Dear Anastasia: Sven isn’t in love with you anymore, and you’d be a fool to pretend otherwise. We suggest you break it off and look for another roommate and a cheaper apartment. You also can get a loan, drop out of school until you accumulate enough money to finish or ask your family for help. Whatever you choose may not be the solution of your dreams, but your dreams don’t seem to be working out. Dear Annie: My 26-year-old son has many good qualities -- he’s smart, attractive, friendly and hardworking. What troubles me is that he doesn’t take care of his physical appearance. He goes for days without bathing, and his hair is often uncombed and unkempt. He has many friends, but I am sure they (and his employer) wonder about his lack of hygiene. Pleas from his family don’t seem to help. He lives in another city so we don’t see him often, but I wish he would take better care of himself. Any sug-

gestions? -- Worried Mother Dear Worried: Since you see your son so infrequently, is it possible he saves the disheveled look for you, knowing you will accept him anyway? Has anyone asked him why he won’t bathe and how he thinks others respond to his appearance? He may not realize how noticeable it is, and how repugnant. Or he may be doing it deliberately to keep people at a distance. Lack of hygiene can also indicate depression or an underlying medical condition. If your son won’t listen to you on the subject, suggest he see his doctor. Otherwise, we hope one of his friends will set him straight. Dear Annie: Like “Going Gray,” I, too, have naturally gray hair. I have never colored it. In fact, I started going gray when I was in my 20s. Now that I’m 49, most people simply tell me how much they admire my hair. But if anyone says anything about the gray, I reply, “I am a natural beauty.” -Sarasota, Fla.
