PIGEON FORGE — Police have charged a Sevierville man and woman in connection with an apparent armed robbery that left one man in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. Lee Franklin Morton, 34, and April Renea Arwood, 30, were both charged with especially aggravated armed robbery in relation to an incident that happened early Wednesday morning in the parking lot of O’Charley’s on the Parkway. The pair were arrested late Wednesday in Knoxville by members of the Knoxville Police Department’s Repeat Offender Squad and officers from the Pigeon Forge Police Department. The restaurant where the incident allegedly took place is in Pigeon Forge. “The Knoxville police were a big help to us in tracking them down and getting them arrested,” Wayne Knight of the Pigeon Forge Police Department said Thursday in discussing the case. The incident left Michael Mundy, 59, of Gatlinburg in stable condition with a gunshot wound to the head. There were other people present at the scene, and they took Franklin by car to Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center, Knight said. “He was taken by his personal vehicle to the hospital, and then the emergency room staff notified us,” Knight said. Mundy was later taken to The University of Tennessee Medical Center, where he remained Thursday evening, officials said. Police did not know Thursday or were not releasing a possible reason or motive behind the incident. “From what we can tell, for some reason they met there in the parking lot of the restaurant while it was closed,” Knight said. “Some type of altercation started, and Michael Mundy was shot in the head just behind the left ear.” It did not appear Mundy was armed, Knight said, and he has been cooperating with investigators since the incident occurred.

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The weather system everyone locally has been watching since it formed on the West Coast is set to move into the area today, potentially dumping 4 inches to 12 inches on Sevier County. National Weather Service lead forecaster Terry Getz said Thursday everything is coming together for a pretty significant winter storm. “It looks really favorable for snow at this point,” Getz said. “It may not be snowing initially in the morning, but it looks like we’ll see the snow move in by late morning, then there’s the chance it will change to a rain-snow mix briefly in the early afternoon before changing to all snow by late afternoon.” Once that changeover happens, there may be some periods of fairly heavy snow. National Weather Service models suggest

Sevierville could see 1-3 inches in the afternoon, and an additional 3-5 overnight, perhaps ending with 4-8 inches by sunrise Saturday. Meanwhile, areas like Wears Valley and Gatlinburg could see 5-10 inches, while some areas of the national park may get more than a foot. The snow is expected to continue falling intermittently through Saturday morning, with only small additional accumulations, Getz said. After it’s here, it doesn’t look like the snow will be going anywhere quickly. Temperatures are expected to start falling as soon as the snow does the same, holding in the teens to low 30s throughout the weekend. “It will be cold through the weekend,” Getz said. “The snow will definitely stick around through the weekend.” With all that in mind, local emergency and street crews were preparing for the coming storm.

Cell phone users should be aware that significant temperature changes could damage their phones. U.S. Cellular advises “winterizing” wireless phones, just like one might winterize an automobile. The company offers these tips to help your phone survive the cold days of winter: n Don’t expose to extreme cold. Temperatures below 40 can harm the battery’s life and run down the charge more quickly. If your cell phone is exposed to cold temperatures, allow the phone to warm up to room temperature before using it. n Store your phone in a warm place. Do not place it in an outside pocket of your coat or backpack or in the car overnight. n Protect your screen. Prolonged exposure to the cold may affect the phone’s display screen. As a result, the screen may be slow to respond when changing screens, tints may change or shadow lines may appear. If this happens, the best thing to do is get the phone into a warm place, and give it time to reach room temperature. n If your cell phone gets wet from the condensation, power it down right away and remove the bat-

Relay volunteers to watch TV show

Gatlinburg Rotarians support food bank

From Submitted Reports PIGEON FORGE — ABC’s reality series “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition� profiles the Creasey family of Lexington, N.C., on Sunday’s show and reveals how the American Cancer Society Relay For Life helped the family. Relay volunteers will gather for local watch parties. In Sevier County, volunteers will gather at Norma-Dan Motel, located at 3864 Parkway, at 7 p.m. to view the 8 p.m. program and to kick off this year’s Relay For Life fundraising efforts. Relay For Life has been an integral part of Tricia Creasey’s life as well as that of her husband, William, and their three daughters. When “Extreme Makeover� producers asked the American Cancer Society for help in telling her story, Society volunteers from across North Carolina rallied for a special Life event, even as the Creaseys’ new home was under construction. Relay volunteers nationwide sent taped messages to the family. Relay For Life events are held in more than 5,100 communities each year, celebrating people who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and providing participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease. Tricia Creasey was first diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in September 2006. She went into remission, but in 2009 her cancer returned, and she will now need lifetime maintenance treatment. The Creaseys purchased a “fixer-upper� home prior to Tricia’s diagnosis, but because her medical bills cost more than $1,400 per month after insurance, the family was unable to pay for necessary renovations to the house. Three of Tricia’s fellow teachers nominated the Creaseys for the home makeover, citing her dedication to her students and to her community.

Photography group program scheduled From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — Colby McLemore of Colby’s Photography will discuss Lightroom photo editing software at 6:30 p.m. Monday at First Presbyterian Church, 500 Belle Ave. McLemore, a University of Tennessee photography certificate instructor, will be a featured speaker at the monthly meeting of LeConte Photographic Society. Lightroom — Adobe’s latest offering in the Photoshop product line — is geared toward serious photographers, McLemore said. “It’s much less complicated than the older Photoshop CS line, which means it’s easier to learn and easier to use,â€? he said. “It’s also much more affordable than the older software.â€? McLemore notes that professional photographers as well as enthusiasts are adopting Lightroom because it streamlines photo processing. During his talk, he will review many of Lightroom’s advanced features and give a demonstration. LeConte Photographic Society was formed two years ago by local photogPIONEER WOODS Covering the Gatlinburg, Cosby, Hartford & Newport Areas • Truck and Trailer Rentals • Moving Supplies

raphers. The group, a mix of experienced shooters and those new to photography, meets at 6:30 the first Monday of every month at First Presbyterian. The society regularly sponsors a variety of programs at different skill levels. “The photo assignments and photo contests at each meeting really help focus members’ photography and give them an opportunity to get honest feedback on their images,� said group leader Dee Murphy. The contests are divided into three skill levels. For information call Murphy at 436-7929 or visit LeContePhotographic. Com.

Extension marking 100 years in state This year marks a century of University of Tennessee Extension and 4-H in Tennessee. That’s 100 years of educational outreach and service to the state’s farmers, families and youth. Extension and 4-H in Tennessee predate the passage of the 1914 Smith-Lever Act through which Congress established a national network of professional agricultural agents and family and consumer scientists to help in the education and economic development of rural America. In 1910, two individuals were employed as countybased agents to help with cotton production and home canning, and in early 1911 the movement to help rural Tennesseans on the farm and in the home spread to six West Tennessee counties. On July 1, 1914, some 20 county agents, 22 home demonstration agents, and eight additional staff and faculty were organized as part of the UT Division of

educational programs. Throughout 2010 UT Extension and 4-H will celebrate the organizations’ first century. What might those include? Just one example from the agronomic perspective is how Extension education and better farming practices have helped increase yields of corn in Tennessee from 25 bushels per acre during the early part of last century to an average of 139 bushels per acre in 2009. USDA statistics record that total corn production in the state was the same in 2009 as it was in 1910 (80.6 million bushels versus 82 million bushels). However, in 2009 only about one-fifth of the land was needed to produce a similar harvest (about 3.3 million acres in 1910 versus about 590,000 acres in 2009).

“Tennessee Department of Transportation maintenance crews are placing salt brine on roadways, loading salt trucks and installing snow plows in preparation for Friday’s predicted winter storm,” TDOT spokeswoman Julie Oaks said Thursday. “TDOT crews in East and Middle Tennessee are applying salt brine to state roadways today in anticipation of the potential winter weather.” Once the snow begins to fall, the crews will focus their efforts on the main roads, while local workers will put their energy into county roads. “When snow hits Tennessee, TDOT maintenance crews first focus on clearing interstates and heavily traveled state routes, specifically areas vulnerable to freezing, like hills, curves, ramps, bridges and interchanges,” Oaks said. TDOT has more than $12 million available for snow and ice removal operations this year. Statewide, TDOT has 831 salt trucks, 822 snow plows, more than 160,000 tons of salt, more than one million gallons of salt brine and more than 1,200

employees available. Local law enforcement crews were also making preparations to ensure they were ready if the roads get dangerous. Sheriff’s deputies had retrieved all the department’s four-wheel-drive vehicles from the county garage and parked them behind the jail in downtown Sevierville by Thursday morning. Those automobiles will be used to enable the deputies to respond to emergency calls. “When it snows, we do limited patrols and we still answer calls as much as possible,” Sheriff Ron Seals said. “If folks have an emergency, they can call us and we’ll get to them as soon as possible.” Unfortunately, road conditions sometimes make responses to calls challenging. Deputies have gotten stuck on their way to assist people and sometimes have to rely on tire chains to get them into difficult areas, Seals said. With concerns not just about deputy safety but the welfare of the general public, Seals recommended folks don’t take unneccessary chances. “If it gets too bad, we just advise people to stay home and ride it out unless they absolutely have to get out,” Seals said.

CHATTANOOGA (AP) — The governor and a gaggle of corporate and college officials will gather Friday in Vonore to christen the nation’s first biorefinery dedicated to turning switchgrass into “grassoline.” Officials hope the demonstration plant, which also uses corncobs as raw, non-edible material for making ethanol, will prove the process is economically and environmentally sound. DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC and University of Tennessee-Genera Energy LLC will show off the 74,000square-foot demonstration facility that can produce 250,000 gallons of ethanol from agricultural residue and bioenergy crops. The venture between Knoxville and Chattanooga is aimed at starting commercial fuel production by 2012. Genera Energy was organized in 2008 as a partnership with the university at Knoxville to refine cellulose and carry out capital projects of the university’s Biofuels Initiative, a farm-to-fuel business model funded by the state to create a renewable energy industry.

Center closing upsets families NASHVILLE (AP) — Budget-cutting Tennessee officials plan to close the oldest staterun, long-term care facility for the mentally disabled, but advocates claim in federal court that the state has failed to show the residents will be safely placed in other care centers. Closing the Clover Bottom Development Center that opened in 1923 would save about $36 million a year in state and federal dollars. Residents could

be moved to another state-run facility in East Tennessee or to private facilities. Among about 100 residents, 57-year-old Teresa Burkett, is blind, mentally disabled and has severe medical ailments. Her sister, Lynne, told The Tennessean in a story Thursday that without the kind of help Clover Bottom provides, Teresa would not survive. Advocates who filed suit against the state over poor conditions at

TODAY’S FORECAST

LOCAL:

Clover Bottom and similar facilities in the mid1990s are back in court. They do not oppose closing Clover Bottom, but they say the state hasn’t shown that residents will be safely placed in other centers by the June 30 deadline. The state is proceeding under the assumption that it will close, said Missy Marshall, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Intellectual Disabilities Services. “We’re not going to

do anything to jeopardize the health or safety of any of the individuals that live there,” Marshall said. “Nobody’s being forced to do anything. Families and conservators have choices.” Gov. Phil Bredesen’s proposed budget to be presented to lawmakers Monday includes $50 million to build eight small, state-run facilities around Tennessee, state Finance Commissioner Dave Goetz said. The new homes would provide beds for 32 people.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s ugly news for all the fans of “Ugly Betty.” ABC says the series will be canceled after this season. A critical and popular success with its premiere in fall 2006, “ U g l y Ferrera Betty” h a s struggled in recent years with audience erosion. Based on a Colombian telenovela, the warmhearted dramedy stars America Ferrera as an ambitious but style-challenged young woman out to build a future at a New York fashion magazine. ABC is promising that the series will conclude its run in a fashion that will satisfy its fans. ABC says eight episodes are left. The series has been saluted with Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody awards, among others.

commentary

Brown may be man for our times

When Barack Obama of Illinois first walked into the Capitol of the United States as a senator-elect in 2004, he was greeted with the usual bowing and scraping that senators take for granted in those hallowed halls. His wife was stunned, saying, as I recall: “What will they do if you actually achieve something?” Actually, he had already achieved the thing most honored in that place: getting elected. Enter Scott Brown of Massachusetts. His election last week has been greeted with as much fanfare and foreboding as the shot heard ‘round world on Concord Bridge in his state. Or the Boston Tea Party. Will the world ever be the same again? “Who Is Scott Brown?” was the headline in Sunday’s editions of the Los Angeles Times. Kathleen Hennessey of that paper’s Washington bureau reported at least one specific: that many mornings he runs around his hometown, Wrentham. Very fast. T hen she quoted a fellow Republican state senator — there are very few in the Commonwealth — named Bob Hedlund, who said: “You could tell people were using him as a vehicle. It maybe could have been anybody, but putting him out there with the looks and the family and the truck — it certainly is a nice package.” Then Hennessey added: “The package still has some unknown contents.” In other words, it could be empty. Or, he could be another Obama, another Lincoln. We only know he is not another Kennedy, even if he looks like one. “Now Kennedy Is Really Dead,” was the headline over a column by Austin Ruse, director of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, who went on to say: “What faithful Catholic did not ponder late Tuesday night that the election of Scott Brown to the ‘Kennedy seat’ was God’s judgment on Kennedyism. Kennedyism being the proposition that one may defend the sick and the poor in some circumstances but in other circumstances support their deliberate killing.” Wow! If God is in on this, maybe He could do something about unemployment. There’s more. David Gibson, a columnist for Politics Daily, found some objection to Ruse’s analysis. Quoting Henry Karlson of Vox Nova, a Catholic blog, he reminded readers that Brown, who seems Boston-friendly on social issues, long ago announced his support for Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. Karlson wrote that anti-abortion Catholics supporting Brown, a Protestant, were “fake pro-lifers.” He added: “Can those pro-life groups which, as a group, promoted and supported Brown be taken seriously again?” Back to the package, which as you must know was displayed raw many years ago in a Cosmopolitan centerfold. To me, the talented (I hope) Mr. Brown, is another example of the descent of American politics into our empty celebrity culture. The Massachusetts election, or at least media analysis of it, was just another public entertainment. Who is Scott Brown? He’s a reality show star. The same could have been said of the emergent Obama. But now Obama has actually done things — most of it good, I would say, but not all — and he is not as attractive to many people as he was when he was a vehicle for anti-government, anti-Washington, anti-establishment hopes springing eternally. Whoever he is, Brown may be a man for our times. Friends say he loves campaigning. That’s a little weird. And they also say he is not much interested in policy. Well, who is, in the shop he will be working in soon? Although he sort of denied it during the campaign — he called himself an “independent” — he is joining a party that so far in the Obama presidency has almost unanimously been disengaged from policy. In fact, they seem to be against any and all policies. And so almost everyone in the loyal opposition will soon be calling themselves “Scott Brown Republicans.” At least until the next reality star appears in Washington. — 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

Gas wars Sometimes, trying to keep up with prices is like trying to find Waldo The sign outside the gasoline station in Kodak on Highway 66 says regular unleaded is selling for $2.37.9. At another station in Sevierville selling the same brand, it’s $2.45.9; in Pigeon Forge, the same brand is selling for four cents higher; in Seymour, yet another four cents higher. What’s more, six months ago, the prices might have been $1.70; as little as a couple of weeks ago they might have been near $2.90. It’s more confusing than — and we mean no disrespect to the oil company that bears a similar name — a shell game. Prices going up, prices going down, prices going all around. Some older readers may remember the days when a gallon of gasoline was 20 cents or less. We all remember the days not so long ago when they were hovering around $4 and it appeared they may even be on the fast track toward $5. Then, about the time Saddam Hussein was captured in Iraq, pump prices started falling and we were lulled into a sense

of false security. According to an AAA spokeswoman, the average lowest priceper-gallon in East Tennessee in 2009 was recorded last January in Knoxville: $1.59.3. Conversely, the highest average was in Johnson City a few months later at $2.57.2. In the meantime, prices have fluctuated wildly. Last year, the average price in Sevier County was $2.50.4 per gallon. In December, it was $2.39.7, and during the last period measured in January by AAA, the average price per gallon was $2.40.5. There are so many factors that go into determining the price per gallon that it would make all but the most astute economist’s head spin. It’s not just supply and demand. The weather plays a factor; in our area so does whether it is tourist season, whether a community is hard by an interstate, whether the store is owned by a chain or is a mom-and-pop business, even whether the neighborhood in which the station is located is poor or affluent.

Another determining factor is domestic and international speculation of oil and pump prices. If the consumer is lucky, he might stumble onto a gas war, where one store owner tries to get an edge by lowering his prices and others in the neighborhood follow suit, causing a domino effect that could last several days. Bottom line, the AAA says, is that trying to predict gasoline prices is about like trying to predict the weather — next to impossible. So, if you’re frustrated by seeing different prices of the same brand just driving from Gatlinburg to Sevierville to Seymour and points in between, join the club. Here’s a tip, though, if you want to track trends: Go to aaa.com. There’s a blue box and the bottom link is called price finder. Navigate to your neighborhood or to the area where you normally buy gasoline and you’ll be able to keep up with prices almost station by station. Happy motoring. Beep-beep.

Political view

Public forum Letter to the editor filled with hate, promotion of evil

Editor: Having read the Jan. 17 letter to the editor about President Obama wanting to end life as we know it in America, I am left in complete disbelief. There was such preaching about homosexuality being vile, but the only thing vile was the hatred in the writer’s words. Words like these are the reason I left my churches years ago. It is fanaticism and it’s disgusting. His statement, “I strongly suggest a day of prayer for a change of leadership...” almost reads like a threat to the president, certainly a hopefulness that something horrible happens to Obama. That’s dangerous. He compared him to Hitler and called him a promoter of evil. Where does this come from? He didn’t lift restrictions on abortion. Abortion is legal. The procedure is terrible, but it’s legal. Alcohol has taken thousands of innocent lives. No one is rallying to criminalize that.

I may not give Obama high grades, but the man has been handed an eight-year history of trouble coming into the White House. That cannot be undone in one year. He was given double digit unemployment, a recession, a war that has gone on far too long and a federal deficit. Prior to Bush, we had low unemployment, a budget surplus and no terrorist attack on U.S. soil such as the one on his watch. We can argue all day about his mistakes, but Obama is not evil. That letter was evil. The hatred aimed at homosexuality is scary and sickening. If there is a God, I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t find the letter’s judgement and contempt to be sad and disappointing. The Bible teaches that God loves everyone. Some zealous followers pick and choose which sins are acceptable and forgivable. The death penalty for homosexuality? Scary. He believes that anyone who is homosexual deserves to die. That must terrify anyone here that is gay. I would love to know about the “homosexual agenda” in schools. When my children

attended school, multiple Christian groups descended with brochures and Bibles. The Gideons even illegally pulled fourth-graders out of class to push Christian principles on them — a violation of church and state separation. Everyone has a right to their own religion and spirituality. Imagine the outcry if Islam was brought in with brochures. It belongs at home. I have never encountered any homosexual promotion or literature in schools. I will worry about what gays are doing to traditional marriage when the religious vote to make divorce illegal. Our own heterosexual divorce rate exceeds 50 percent; adultery is rampant and domestic violence has never been higher. In my years of knowing homosexuals, I have never encountered one as hateful as the letter. Sometimes, I cannot believe what the The Mountain Press publishes. I suppose I may be in the minority here, but I will never teach my children to hate. Brenda Kelly Sevierville

Crisis averted: Highlanders beat Patriots in OT G-P overcomes 15-point deficit at Union County By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

G-P senior Jake Jackson drained this threepoint shot at the first-half buzzer to cut the Union lead to single digits, 34-26, at half.

MAYNARDVILLE — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders came back from 15 points down in the third quarter to take a thrilling 69-66 overtime win Thursday night in their road-black uniforms at District 3-AA rival Union Patriots. Union (12-12, 2-7 in 3-AA) led by double digits for most of the game, including a 15-point lead by the midway point of the third quarter. But the Highlanders (19-2, 6-2 in 3-AA), who trailed by 10 to start the fourth quarter, refused to lose their third district game of the season and finally took control of matters early in the final frame, eventually leading

to a 55-55 game at the end of regulation. Despite G-P junior Jose Agosto fouling out in the opening seconds of OT, the Highlanders took the win by outscoring Union 14-11 in free basketball. G-P junior Morrease Barber scored the first bucket of OT to give G-P a 57-55 edge with 3:03 on the clock. Highlanders senior McKinley Maples hit a pair of charity shots with 1:55 remaining to make it 59-57 G-P, and then took a pair of steals coast-to-coast on back-to-back possessions for a 63-57 lead with 1:16 on the clock. G-P senior Drew Barton drained a pair of clutch free throws with an even 1:00 on the clock to make it 65-57. After a Union three-

pointer made it a five-point game, G-P senior Marquise Wall hit 1-of-2 from the line with 40.4 seconds to make it 66-60. Barber hit 1-of-2 from the stripe with 19.3 seconds to make it 67-60. After another Union trey, G-P junior Jon McCroskey made it 69-63 with a pair of free throws with 8.9 seconds on the overtime clock, before Union closed the game with a buzzerbeating trey to make it the final. McCroskey also started the fourth-quarter comeback with a trey at the 7:28 mark, cutting the Pats lead to 47-40. Agosto scored the next five points on a trey and a pair of free throws to cut it to 47-45 with 6:49 in regulation. The Highlanders finally

got their first lead of the night when Barber casually took a long three-point shot from NBA range for a 48-47 edge with 5:22 remaining. G-P looked destined to pull it out in regulation, but Union’s Chase Buckner hit his fourth three-pointer of the night at the buzzer to send it into the extra quarter. The Highlanders found themselves in uncharted territory early at Union, trailing by double digits for most of the first half. G-P couldn’t seem to make a shot or catch a break and every call seemed to go against the Blue and Gold - who trailed by as many as 16 points in the second quarter - for the first 16 minutes of the game.

Click: Fights are on for Saturday

UT Lady Vols whip Auburn Bjorklund breaks shooting slump

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — In comes the snow, on goes the show. With many fighters already in town and too much already in motion, Fit Factory Fighting Championships promoter Gene Click said Thursday night that Saturday’s scheduled super bouts at Sevier County High School are still 100 percent a go. While braving the weather could prove a challenge for many mixed martial arts fans, those that show up a 5 p.m. at SCHS on Saturday are sure to get a big value for their troubles. Click’s MMA show has a massive card slated, featuring 18 matchups and six title fights. “This is the best card, it’s that good,” Click said. “If you’ve never been to a live MMA show and they want to take what they watch on TV and multiply it by 1,000, come to the matches on Saturday. It’s a whole different atmosphere than what you get on TV.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

G-P girls can’t make it back-to-back By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer MAYNARDVILLE - The Gatlinburg-Pittman Lady Highlanders winning streak of one game was snapped Thursday night 52-47 at District 3-AA rival Union Lady Patriots. G-P (8-10, 2-6 in 3-AA) has now lost five of its last six ball games, although all

five losses came down to the final moments in each contest. The Lady Highlanders got off to a good start Thursday when freshman Karsen Sims drove to the basket for the game's first points with 7:39 in the first, and when senior Leah Bryan drained a 15-foot bank shot moments later to make it 4-0 G-P with

6:47 on the clock. But that four-point lead was as good as it would get in the first half for the Lady Highlanders, who trailed 12-10 by the end of the first and 26-19 by intermission. The Lady Blue and Gold battled back in the third quarter and started with a quick 7-0 spurt to knot the game at 26s when junior

Lacee Tinker connected with a layup at the 4:34 mark. Union (8-13, 2-7 in 3-AA) kept taking the lead back, but the Lady Highlanders finally got back on top when junior Macy Shults hit a 17-footer to make it 33-32 G-P with 1:46 in the third. See G-P girls, Page A11

KNOXVILLE — Angie Bjorklund broke a shooting slump and scored 20 points as No. 5 Tennessee beat Auburn 85-56 on Thursday night. Glory Johnson scored 15 and grabbed 13 rebounds. Shekinna Stricklen added 17 points, and Alyssia Brewer had 11 points. Bjorklund entered the game leading the Lady Volunteers (18-2, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) with 14.8 points per game but averaged just 8.8 in the past four games. A 3-pointer by the Bjorklund capped a 14-2 run that gave Tennessee a 22-14 lead with 11:05 in the first half, and the Lady Vols did not trail again. Bjorklund hit 6 of 12 from behind the arc. After losing twice last season to the Tigers (11-10, 2-6), the Lady Vols had no problems stopping them this time with stifling defense. Alli Smalley was the only Tigers player that didn’t appear to struggle, and she led the team with 21 points.

Vanderbilt SEC’s last undefeated team in league play By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer

Southeastern Conference long enough to know the value of each league win. That might be why he is NASHVILLE — Kevin Stallings has coached in the getting a little greedy. His 21st-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores are enjoying their best start in SEC play since the 196566 season after an 85-76 victory Wednesday night at No. 14 Tennessee. They are the SEC’s lone undefeated team at 5-0 in conference play heading into Basketball Saturday’s visit to topRegular season ranked Kentucky. n Seymour at Cherokee “Anything-and-oh is n SCHS at Morristown good, whether it’s 1-0 West or 2-0,” Stallings said

Sports Today

Thursday. “Anything-andoh is splendid. ... So we’ll like to hang onto it. We’d love to be 6-0. Six-and-oh would be greater than five.” The Commodores (16-3) have won 10 straight overall. Credit a deep bench led by five returning starters who are repaying the confidence Stallings showed in them last summer when he passed up the $100,000 pay raise due in his contract to fund a trip to Australia. That togetherness has bred a resilience shown by Vanderbilt coming from behind in four of its five SEC wins. It also helps that

Stallings is spreading out the playing time, with 10 Commodores averaging at least 8.9 minutes per game. Junior center A.J. Ogilvy, the Australia native who benefited most from that business trip home last August, noted this team has spent most of the past year together. The lone exception was freshman John Jenkins, who couldn’t go to Australia because school hadn’t started yet. “It’s really starting to show some dividends for us,” Ogilvy said. Stallings had one of the least experienced teams in

the country last season and the growing pains showed as Vanderbilt went 19-12 and missed the postseason for the first time since 2003. All those freshmen became sophomores, and the payoff is coming now with a deep and talented roster. Jeffrey Taylor hasn’t missed a start since arriving on campus, and he leads four Commodores averaging double figures with 14.1 points per game. But five different players have led the team in scoring this season. Vanderbilt leads the SEC in scoring at 83.2

points in league play, and the Commodores are hitting 51.6 percent of their shots. In their first win at Tennessee since 2005, they shot at least 50 percent from the floor for the 11th game this season. These Commodores don’t give up, either. They have trailed in four of their first five SEC games, including at Tennessee, before rallying to win. Against Auburn on Jan. 23, it was Taylor scoring 18 in the second half. Senior Jermaine Beal took over at Tennessee with 18 of his 25 points coming in the second half.

Justine Henin of Belgium (left) will face off with Serena Williams of the U.S. in the Australian Open finale on Saturday, January 30, in Melbourne, Australia. AUSTRALIAN OPEN TENNIS

Stars align for Williams-Henin final By JOCELYN GECKER Associated Press Writer MELBOURNE, Australia — Even Serena Williams likes the story of Justine Henin’s comeback. It’s an “amazing� tale, Williams said. Only two tournaments into her return from a 20-month retirement, Henin has made it all the way to the Australian Open final. Her only obstacle to a happy ending is Williams, who faces Henin on Saturday. “Justine hasn’t been gone that long, but it’s still a good story,� said Williams, who has a long and intense rivalry with Henin that has never included a Grand Slam final. The top-ranked Williams and the former No. 1 Henin have played 13 times, including six Grand Slam showdowns that only went as far as the semifinals. Serena holds a 7-6 edge in their overall matchups. In Grand Slams, Henin leads 4-2. The last time Williams played a Belgian at a Grand Slam, it didn’t go so well. Williams’ tirade over a line call in her U.S. Open semifinal against Kim Clijsters cost her a record $82,500 fine. Clijsters was also fresh from a comeback after two years off to get married and have a baby — and Clijsters went on to win the title. Henin is usually cautious about sounding too optimistic. But she was elated Thursday after winning her semifinal against 2008 Wimbledon semifinalist Zheng Jie 6-1, 6-0. The match lasted 51 minutes and was the most lopsided semifinal at the Australian Open since Chris Evert beat Andrea Jaeger by the same score in 1982. “I’m aware that this is extraordinary,� the 27-year-old Henin said. “I never would have thought that when I got on the plane I would be here in the final of the Australian Open.� Williams had a considerably tougher time. She

wasted four match points before finishing off a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (1) semifinal win with an ace against Li Na of China, a day after her sister Venus lost to her in the quarterfinals. Henin and Williams describe the other in similar terms — as a fighter with supreme physical abilities and the mental strength to rally for the victory. “She is a real champion,� Henin said of Williams. “A real fighter. Never gives up ... I think we respect each other a lot for that. We’re both fighters. We want to win. And I think maybe we helped each other to get better.� Asked to list Henin’s strengths, Williams summed them up briefly: “I think, it’s a case of — what doesn’t she do well.� “We bring out the best game in each other,� said the 28-year-old Williams. “I think that we both just play our hearts out. I think that’s what creates a good rivalry.� The return of Henin and Clijsters has restored some life and rivalries to the women’s game, which has many promising newcomers but suffered some lackluster finals in their absence.

The final Saturday offers another good story line of two champions battling to be the best of their generation. Williams leads with 11 Grand Slam trophies to Henin’s seven. Williams has won all four majors, proving her superiority on all surfaces — clay, hard court and grass. Williams also boasts more prize money from her wins, with $28.5 million since turning pro in 1995 compared to Henin’s $19.4 million. The Belgian turned pro in 1999. But Henin has spent more time at No. 1 — 117 weeks compared to Williams’ 89 weeks — in a shorter time span. Another factor going into the final is what Henin calls her mental and physical “freshness,� coming back after 20 months off the WTA Tour. At the height of her career, Henin stunned the tennis world by announcing in May 2008 that she had lost her passion for the sport. She became the first woman to walk away from the sport while ranked No. 1. She wanted to escape her “tennis bubble� and experience life. Along the way

found that she missed tennis and had some unfinished business to tend to, namely Wimbledon, the only Grand Slam she hasn’t won. In Melbourne, Henin is riding a wave of newfound self-confidence that has grown with each match. She unveiled a stronger serve and new aggressiveness at the net that have combined with her explosive speed and sublime one-handed backhand. She has spoken about her return as if it were destined to happen. “I feel like it’s my place to be here,� Henin said after her first-round win and repeatedly afterward. The prospect of facing Williams stirs Henin’s competitive spirit. “I can’t wait for the final,� Henin said. “It’s more than a dream. I wouldn’t want it to be anyone else on Saturday because the challenge of facing the No. 1 player in the world is magnificent. “I like it when things are difficult. And I know they will be.�

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — IndyCar star Danica Patrick will compete in at least 12 NASCAR races this season and could make her debut in the season opener. JR Motorsports announced Patrick’s schedule Thursday. Her first race, though, is still uncertain. Patrick is waiting to decide whether to race in the Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 13. The team says it will decide after Patrick makes her stock car debut in the Feb. 6 ARCA race at Daytona. If she feels comfortable, she could race the following week in NASCAR’s second-tier series. It would be a daunting NASCAR start considering more than a dozen Sprint Cup regulars, including team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., drive in that one. “Like I’ve said before, we just want to be smart and calculative about this process,� Patrick said. “The tracks we’ve selected not only compliment the IndyCar schedule, but will give me quality seat time at a variety of facilities.�

Danica Patrick

If Patrick doesn’t drive the Nationwide race at Daytona, she will make her debut the following week in Fontana, Calif. Her remaining schedule includes Las Vegas (Feb. 20), a four-month hiatus to focus on the IndyCar Series and her return to NASCAR at New Hampshire (June 26). She also will race in Chicago (July 9), Michigan (Aug. 14), Dover, Del. (Sept. 25), Fontana (Oct. 9), Charlotte (Oct. 15), Madison, Ill. (Oct. 23), Texas (Nov. 6), Phoenix (Nov. 13), and Homestead, Fla. (Nov. 20).

Lady Tigers in first place by 2 games By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — The Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers are now in sole possession of first place in District 3-AA, by a commanding two games with two to go. The girls in orange and black ran through Fulton Thursday night with a 50-38 win. After a 2-0 lead for the Lady Falcons early, coach Paul Reagan’s team jump on the home team and never let up, time and again forcing turnovers that resulted in layups. Up 24-13 at half and by eight at the end of three, the Lady Tigers continued to work and stretched their lead to 12 points with about five minutes to play. From there, Fulton never got within striking distance. “We just held on to it,� Reagan said. “We knocked down our fould shots and did what we had to do to

HIGHLANDERS 3From Page A8

But G-P senior Jake Jackson gave the Highlanders some hope heading into the break by sniping a pair of treys on consecutive possessions, the last on a buzzer-beater from the corner to cut the Patriots lead to single digits, 34-26, at intermission. That Blue-and-Gold momentum was quickly extinguished by the middle of the third quarter, however, when Union County went on an 11-4 spurt to take a 15-point 45-30 lead over G-P. The Highlanders managed to cut it to 10 points, 47-37, heading into the

win against a very good Fulton team.� Junior Kelsey Brooks led the team in scoring with 14, but coach Reagan was raving about the efforts of another player, Emily Hurst. “It’s been hard us since losing Kesha Hooker (concussion), who was starting, but I really believe Emily has stepped up,� Reagan said. “I can’t say how much she’s improved.� Following Brooks and Hurst were Ashlynn Trotter and Ashley Wojnowski with six points each, Danielle Rauhuff and Cassidy Martin with five each and Mindy Brackins with two. Now the Lady Tigers need just one more district win to guarantee a regular-season championship. Nex week they face Carter at home on Friday and travel to Gibbs Saturday for a makeup game. mpsports@themountainpress.com

fourth quarter after Barton drained a 16-footer and McCroskey hit 1-of-2 from the free throw line near the end of the third. This was the second Union heartbreak against the Highlanders this season. The Pats lost 60-59 on Jan. 14, in Gatlinburg. Agosto and Wall led the

The Lady Highlanders earned their biggest lead of the night when junior Beka Owens sniped a trey with 1:04 in the third to make it 37-32 Lady Blue, which would stand heading into the fourth frame. Union came out of the gates with five points to start the fourth and knotted the contest at 37s with 7:02 in the game. G-P senior Morgan Dodgen hit a pair from the charity stripe to make it 39-37 G-P, and Bryan made it 41-39 G-P moments later on a nice drive to the basket with 5:02 remaining. But Union pulled away with a 10-0 run to give the Lady Pats a 49-41 edge with 3:27 in the game. Bryan scored five straight points to bring the Lady Blue back to within a basket, 49-47, with 1:07 on the clock, but that’s as close as it would get as Union scored the game’s final three points to take it by the final.

highlanders with 16 points apiece, Barber had 11, McCroskey nine, Maples seven, Jackson six and Barton four in the winning effort. G-P next hosts district rival Gibbs (9-9, 2-4 in 3-AA) on Tuesday night.

Bryan led all scorers with 16 points, and Tinker and Dodgen added 12 points apiece. But the Lady Blue got little other offensive help with the rest of the team combining for just seven total points in the losing effort.

Voters to Obama: less talk, more action LAS VEGAS (AP) — When Al Melquist voted for Barack Obama in 2008, the unemployed software engineer was drawn to the politician’s charisma and promise of solutions for the nation’s economic woes and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the time since, Melquist has given up looking for work. The house in Las Vegas where he lived sits empty and bank-owned after his landlord didn’t make mortgage payments for 13 months. He is burning through his savings and doing Web site work to make ends meet for his family of five, while working on his own startup. Millions of Americans like Melquist tuned in to the president’s State of the Union address Wednesday night, aching for solutions but wary — aware that in too many places voters are no better off today than when they lifted Obama into the White House. Many have become so disillusioned with their economic situations that they are tired of all the politics and promises and want action. “He just says so many things,� the 41-year-old Melquist said of Obama. “I just don’t trust what he says is actually going to happen.� Obama acknowledged in his speech that economic devastation remains — in joblessness, shuttered businesses and declining home values — and the change he wanted everyone to believe in “has not come fast enough.� He also declared that it’s time to “seize this moment� and “get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth.� While Obama’s attempt to reconnect with everyday Americans hit the notes many expected to hear, some wonder whether he and other lawmakers can follow through and actually get things done. Jeorge Carrillo watched the speech on TV between attending to patients during

Iraq. We don’t really care about Afghanistan. We don’t really care about health care reform.� In Michigan, unemployment hit 14 percent in 2009 amid a historic collapse of the auto market. Michigan resident Dianne Impullitti simply exclaimed “Yes!� when Obama said job creation must be the top priority in 2010. Impullitti, who is studying renewable energy at a comAP Photo/Laura Rauch munity college after losing Al Melquist cuddles his daughter Madison, 9, at her job as an automotive tool their home in Las Vegas. Madison suffers from designer in August 2008, called the speech hopeful a liver disease and is awaiting a transplant. and said she was worried When Melquist voted for Barack Obama in jobs had taken a back seat to 2008, the unemployed software engineer was health care. drawn to the politician’s promise of solutions “I was definitely encourfor the nation’s economic woes and wars in aged by things he said and Afghanistan and Iraq. the things he plans on puthis night shift as an emer- trying to make ends meet, ting out there,� she said. gency room nurse in Miami we don’t really care about “Now, I want to see the Beach. Carrillo expressed deep disappointment that a health care bill has not passed and criticized Obama for making broad statements without offering specific plans, but he was glad to hear the president urge lawmakers not to let health reform languish. “I’m cautiously hopeful,� said Carrillo, 47, who voted for John McCain in 2008. “You talk a good talk, now * walk the walk. Let’s see you walk the walk.� Obama’s focus on jobs was especially important in states like Nevada and Michigan. WITH APPROVED CREDIT AND IN LIEU OF In Nevada, rapid tourism growth has collapsed in a spectacular two-year meltdown of job losses, foreclosures and bankruptcies. The state posted the highest foreclosure rate in the nation last year, with more than one of every 10 housing units hit with at least one foreclosure filing. The unemployment rate was 13 percent in December. Melquist said after the speech that he wished Obama would have talked only about jobs and the economy. “He talked about too much stuff,� Melquist said. “A normal American who is

details. I want to see where it goes.� Eric Dixon of Philadelphia said he wished he had heard more from Obama about efforts to help people who experience racial and employment discrimination. He did like the president’s proposal for a 10 percent tax credit for employers and thought it could help his efforts to get a trucking job. “He was talking about the middle class, but how about the ordinary person?� Dixon said. “I don’t even make $10,000 a year.� Some wondered whether other lawmakers would help Obama or hinder him. “As always, I’m impressed by the president, how he speaks and his oratory skills. I’m just frustrated with the system,� said Ethan Ehrlich, a 32-year-

old nurse-anesthetist from Miami Beach. “And you could tell by the body language, how the Republicans just sat there for so much, that tomorrow it will be business as usual.� Frank Beaty, a 55-yearold Las Vegas man who has been working raising money for nonprofits while bouncing back from a 2005 bankruptcy, said Obama sent a clear, clever message to lawmakers that they should help him in his work even if it’s not politically convenient. Beaty, who said he had not voted for a president before Obama and was not sure before the speech whether he would support him again, said the speech was exactly what he wanted to hear. But he said he doesn’t think 2010 will be significantly better than 2009.

24 hours in Yemen Gradys spend one day in ancient country Submitted report With recent news focusing on the country of Yemen in regard to terrorism, readers might be interested in learning more about this country. Few American tourists dare to travel to Yemen, but Don and Alice Grady of Sevierville did visit the capital city of Sana’a in January 2008, at the end of a trip to Ethiopia. They visited their son, Commander Donald E. Grady Jr., at the U.S. Embassy, where he was serving as director of “Country Coordination Element – Yemen,” under the auspices of the Department of State. Here is Alice Grady’s account of their trip to Yemen: Many probably first heard about Yemen in October 2000, with the attack on the USS Cole in the Gulf of Aden which caused the death of 17 U.S. sailors. Since that time, there have been numerous attacks on the U.S. Embassy and even on tourists. In March 2008, an attack missed the embassy but wounded 13 girls at a nearby school. Piracy continues to be prevalent in the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and Somalia. Yemen is the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden. But terrorism does not define Yemen. Yemen is a Democratic Republic favorable to the United States, although it has been difficult to keep terrorists in check. The modern Republic of Yemen was established in 1990; it has a population of about 20 million and is considered a “low-income” developing country. The Republic of Yemen faces the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. The topography of the land is characterized by a narrow coastal plain along the Red Sea, mountainous regions, and desert. Palm trees grow along the coast, and plants such as acacia and eucalyptus flourish in the interior. At an elevation of 7,500 feet, Sana’a has temperatures ranging from 40 to 80 degrees. According to the Yemenis, their history goes back to the dawn of civilization as they claim that Shem, the son of Noah, founded the city of Sana’a as the flood subsided. Legend has it that the powerful kingdom of the Queen of Sheba was in Yemen; she is connected to the folklore of both Yemen and Ethiopia. Some think that one of the Three Wise Men mentioned in the Bible may have come from Yemen. Around 1400 BC, Yemen came to prominence as it was on important

trade routes, with frankincense and spices being desired by the Egyptian and Roman empires. The trees on the southern coasts of Yemen produce both frankincense and myrrh which were considered equal in value to gold. These products were used by the Egyptians in the embalming process and burned as offerings to the gods. In 1970, Europe opened its eyes to Yemen, thanks to Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini. While shooting scenes for a movie across the Red Sea in Eritrea, he decided to visit Yemen. He later said, “Yemen is the most beautiful country in the world. Sana’a is a Venice built on sand.” The country was one of the last to open its gates to the modern world, and this threatened to destroy a cultural and artistic heritage that had remained

intact for centuries. The publisher of the Visitor’s Complete Guide to Yemen says that in Yemen “you can find friendly people, unique architecture, amazing landscapes, breathtaking mountain scenery, unspoiled beaches and good food all within a setting that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.” We were privileged to experience a little of Yemen by visiting both the “modern” city and the Old City’s Bab Alyemen — the “souk” or market place. We enjoyed meeting people and viewing the unique architecture. We had less than 24 hours to take all this in as we had to fly back across the Red Sea to Addis Ababa to return home. — Alice Grady is a resident of Sevierville and active with the Smoky Mountain Cancer Support Group and Relay For Life.

We can overcome Townsend set to host heritage festival procrastination From Submitted Reports

This is an appropriate column to follow my column from last week, “Simplifying helps some to endure and succeed.” In that column (which drew a lot of comments) I reported how a sportscaster attributed part of Joe Paterno’s success and longevity to the fact the Penn State football coach “doesn’t own a cell phone or know how to use a computer.” I went on to parallel Coach Paterno’s philosophy to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s admonition: “Simplify, simplify, simplify.” Now I share with you a statement that caught my attention this week. Joel Splosky, founder of Fog Creek Software and former program manager on the Microsoft Excel team, said: “College students in their final year have about 16 years of experience doing short projects and leaving everything until the last minute. Until you’re a senior in college, you’re very unlikely to have ever encountered an assignment that can’t be done by staying up all night.” I can relate to Splosky’s claim. My wife Jean knows I can relate to it because she has constantly reminded me of my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Lynn Brownell, my contact at The Mountain Press, also knows I can relate to it. Thankfully, I do get my column to Lynn before the newspaper’s deadline — but, many times, just barely before the deadline. I’ve written previously about my inclination to procrastinate. And, I’ve attributed at least a portion of this inclination to the fact that I tend to get involved in and spread my time among too many different things. I also tend to be a perfectionist. Can you relate to either of these propensities? I think many people can. That’s why that from among the nine principles in my A Strategy For Winning book and program, principle number nine draws a lot of reaction. It is titled “Do It Now!” On our mentoring students and adults Web site, www.MyMerlin.net, I posted affirmations at the end of each interactive principle. Based on the content of the principle, the affirmation for “Do It Now!” reads:

“To help me to stop procrastinating, I will plan ahead rather than constantly put out fires that occur daily. I realize that not being prepared is a major cause of failure in any endeavor. When I have a tendency to postpone doing something that is unpleasant, difficult or boring, I will seek to give it a twist to make it more creative or enjoyable. I will use ‘best case/worst case scenario’ thinking. By looking ahead, I will not wait for something to squeak before I take care of it. In all areas of my life, I will engage in preventive maintenance. “I will take advantage of small bits of time rather than put off things until a larger segment of time becomes available. I will be decisive. I will practice discipline. I will not allow someone to talk me out of doing something that I definitely need to do. It is I who has to live with the consequences of procrastination. I will view my time with regard, high esteem and value. When necessary, I will tactfully let people know that I am in command of my time, priorities and decisions.” Hey, some guy in an ivory tower who is living without a clue did not write this affirmation. It was I — a fellow procrastinator who is continuing to work more and more to “Do It Now!” — © Carl Mays, author and speaker. E-mail to carlmays@carlmays.com.

Jones traces family roots to Benedict Arnold From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — The speaker at a recent meeting of Great Smokies Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution was Loy Jones, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He is the husband of Linda Jones, Jones first vice regent of the state DAR and former regent of Great Smokies Chapter. Jones gave a presentation on Benedict Arnold, who is his third cousin, six times removed. Arnold was born in January 1741. Part of his presentation: By Loy Jones Benedict Arnold is my third cousin, six times removed. His second great-grandfather was also named Benedict Arnold and he was the royal governor of Rhode Island. The governor was my eighth great-grandfather. Born in January 1741 in Norwich, Conn., Benedict Arnold’s actual birth date is a bit of a mystery. His birth records indicate that he was born Jan. 3, 1740. Arnold’s date of birth is recorded in the Gregorian calendar as Jan. 11, 1741; however, most biographers record his birth date as Jan. 14. Before Benedict Arnold became a traitor, he distinguished himself early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery. His leadership prevented the British from accomplishing their “Grand Plan,� which would have surely led to the defeat of the American Continental Army. The British strategy was to invade and occupy the Lake Champlain-Hudson River corridor. This would have isolated the New England Provinces

and Colonies. In effect, the American Revolution would have ended in defeat. The capture of Fort Ticonderoga, May 1775 A few weeks after the first shots at Lexington, Arnold received a commission in the Massachusetts Militia. He joined the forces of Ethan Allen and together, in May 1775, they captured Fort Ticonderoga. This fort served as a barrier to the usage of the Lake Champlain route for the north-bound and southbound forces. Under Gen. Gage at that time, the British occupied Boston. Henry Knox was given the task to strip Fort Ticonderoga and nearby Crown Point of their cannons. Knox loaded 60 tons of cannons onto sledges and used oxen to pull them 300 miles to Boston. He placed the guns on Dorchester Heights to command Boston harbor. When Gage saw the guns, he abandoned Boston and sailed to Halifax on March 17, 1776. Never again did the British occupy Boston. Benedict Arnold took over command of Fort Ticonderoga upon its cap-

ture. The invasion of what is now known as Canada On Aug. 28, 1775, Gen. Montgomery launched an invasion of Canada via the Lake Champlain route. Arnold wanted to command this force but had to settle for a route through 400 miles of wilderness to the west of Montgomery’s army. About one-quarter of Arnold’s men turned back. The remainder reached the Quebec area in November 1775 — approximately 600 starving men. Meanwhile, Montgomery had taken Montreal. Montgomery joined Arnold and together they attacked Quebec. Montgomery was killed and Arnold suffered serious leg injuries. Col. Daniel Morgan took over the command, but the Americans were unable to take Quebec. The Continental Army came very close to winning. The siege of Quebec ended in May 1776. The first naval battle at Valcour Island Oct. 11, 1776 Arnold supervised the construction of about 60 gun boats at

Valcour Island in Lake Champlain. During this time the British, under Guy Carleton, were also building a fleet of similar gun boats at the north end of the lake. In addition, the British had moved a couple of small but more conventionally designed war ships mounting several cannons from the St. Lawrence River into Lake Champlain. Many historians believe that the English “won� this battle. However, Carleton gathered what remained of his British fleet and retired back to the north end of the lake and stayed there for several months. This delay gave us time to organize our Revolutionary forces. Benedict Arnold becomes military commander of Philadelphia 1778 The British withdrew from Philadelphia in June 1778 and Arnold took over command of the city. He met 18-year-old Peggy

Shippen, the daughter of Judge Edward Shippen, a Loyalist (British) sympathizer. During the British occupation, Peggy had been courted by British Maj. John Andre. Arnold won Peggy’s heart and they married on April 8, 1779. History records that he lived extravagantly and was a prominent figure on the social scene. Fort West Point July 1780 On June 16, Arnold inspected West Point on his way to Connecticut, and sent a highly detailed report through the secret channel. When he reached Connecticut, Arnold arranged to sell his home there, and began transferring assets to London through intermediaries in New York. By early July he was back in Philadelphia, where he wrote a secret message to British general Henry Clinton on July 7, which implied

that his appointment to West Point was assured and that he might even provide a “drawing of the works ... by which you might take [West Point] without loss.� Arnold was given command of West Point in July 1780. Maj. Andre was captured while carrying communications to Clinton regarding West Point. When Arnold learned that Andre had been captured, he fled from West Point and boarded a British warship that was anchored in the Hudson River beyond cannon range of the Fort. Gen. George Washington ordered that Arnold should be executed upon capture. The British gave Arnold a commission as a brigadier general. He led British forces in Virginia. In the winter of 1782 he left the British Army. On Dec. 8, 1781, he and Peggy moved to England where he lived until his death on June 14, 1801.

Local artist draws for charities From Submitted Reports Rhonda Marsh, owner of Southern Draw Skin Art Studios, is seeking to make a difference with her artwork by selling them for charities. Marsh has been the sole owner of two locations of Southern Draw Skin Art Studios for more than 15 years. In her spare time, she paints pastel portraits of celebrities. She has also managed to get each celebrity she has painted to sign her original artwork. Marsh also makes one print that she mattes and frames and gives to the artist she’s painted. Marsh has done portraits for all four members of Nickelback, Adam G. of Three Days Grace, Josey Scott of Saliva, Austin Winkler of Hinder, Dolly Parton, and Jesse James of West Coast Choppers. Marsh has just completed portraits of George Strait and Reba McEntire. To date, she has not used her portraits for profit or sale. “Up until this point, I have always thought to myself, where is this going? In what way am I supposed to really use this talent?� Marsh said. “A close friend of mine suggested to me that since I don’t sell my paintings, to use the paintings to raise money for charities by donating one signed copy of it to the artist’s choice of charity.� Charities close to Marsh’s heart always involve children.

Rhonda Marsh and Dolly Parton pose with a portrait of Parton painted by Marsh, who hopes to raise money for charities with her portraits of celebrities. “My daughter was born with a cleft lip and palate and it took many surgeries to repair — painstaking surgeries,� Marsh said. “There are children here and in other countries whose parents can’t afford the luxury that plastic surgery provides to repair their child’s birth deformity. Operation Smiles is a team of plastic surgeons, and other experts in this area that volunteer their

time to go to other countries and help these cleft children get the operations they so desperately need.� Marsh also appreciates the Shriners and their burn hospitals. “If my portraits could raise money for more surgeries for these kids, or help other children in need, then maybe that’s the direction that God is taking me with in this.

would love to see something great come out of all the hard work that goes into these portraits, something that can be appreciated by someone way more than me and my clients that come into the studio and see them,� she said. Marsh is working on a portrait of Tyler Perry and his alter ego, Madea. “My father passed away two years ago and he was very dear to me. George Strait and Reba McEntire were his absolute favorites, so I really hope I can get this project started off with his two favorite artists first. It would make me feel like my dad was a part in it all somehow and that would be awesome.� To learn more about her artwork, visit www. southerndrawtattoo.com or www.myspace.com/ southerndrawtattoo.

Advice

Mother fed up with bad behavior from her 40-year-old daughter

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My 40-year-old daughter has had behavioral and psychological issues her whole life. In recent years, she has behaved very irresponsibly -drinking, doing drugs, fighting with her family, becoming unemployed and spending too much money. Last year, she and her husband filed for bankruptcy and lost their home. The police have even been to their house for domestic violence issues. My 9-year-old grandson is subjected to all of this. I have funneled thousands into this dilemma and have been treated with a lack of gratitude and respect. I finally blew my stack and told my daughter how I felt about her behavior. Now she won’t allow me or anyone in my family to see my grandson. What do I do? -- At My Wits‚ End Dear Wits‚ End: Depending on your state, you might be able to sue for visitation. If you choose to go that route, please seek legal counsel. You might also consider trying to get custody of your grandson if the parents are as unfit as you portray them. However, in most instances, the best recourse is to reconcile with the parents. Your daughter is a mess, and it doesn’t help her or your grandson if you scold her and become estranged. Please do whatever you need to in order to get back in her good graces so you can keep an eye on your grandchild. He needs a stable person in his life. Dear Annie: Two years ago, my husband and I retired and moved to Florida. I have a volun-

teer job one day a week. However, I have not met any female friends who I see on a regular basis. My husband found a group of guys to golf with, and he also goes fishing with them. Sometimes he is gone all day. The guys are mostly single, divorced men in their 60s, so I can’t even socialize with their wives. I do not golf, so don’t advise me to take it up. On the days we are together, it’s a struggle to find things we both enjoy. He has never been affectionate. He’s never given me a compliment in all the years we have been married. He cooks and helps around the house, but he’d obviously rather be with his buddies. I want him to be happy, but I am lonely. I’ve also noticed that his friends have had quite an influence on the way he behaves. I worry if I take off to visit my family, he will spend more time with them and things will get worse. We seem to be drifting apart. I never thought retirement would be so difficult. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life being married and lonely. Any ideas? -- Alone in Florida Dear Florida: You need to find things to keep you busy. Your husband is obviously not going to provide a social life, but surely there are activities you enjoy. The community center, park district or retirement residences probably

organize groups to attend plays or concerts. Find a book or gourmet club in your area. Join a gym and sign up for a fitness class where you can meet other women on a regular basis. Volunteer at the local hospital or library. They would appreciate you. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Ring-a-Ding,” the lady who had been married for 20 years and resented the “cheap” engagement ring with the tiny diamond that her husband bought her when they first married. My husband and I are nearing the 40-year mark and have accumulated a great deal of money in assets. Although he has bought me many expensive pieces of jewelry, none of them means as much to me as my $8 wedding band. That symbol of where we started stands for 40 years of love, struggles, ups and downs, and our enduring faith in each other. -- Happily Married Dear Happily: Thank you for saying that it’s the quality of the love, not the size of the ring that counts.
