Arrowmont eyes 2 other cities Decision on future expected by August By STAN VOIT Editor

5New board members inducted Boys & Girls Club supporters gather for annual dinner Mountain life, Page B1

GATLINBURG — If the Gateway to the Smokies really wants to keep Arrowmont as a downtown fixture, it had better start gathering up support and money to save it. The famed school of arts and crafts is considering a move to either Greeneville or Knoxville if it can’t stay in Gatlinburg, and a

decision on its future is expected by August. Arrowmont has gotten an extension on its lease with owner Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women, but only to 2012. The chances of a long-term lease under current terms seems unlikely, although the president of the Pi Beta Phi Grand Council says the fraternity has offered to sit with Arrowmont officials and negotiate the lease. “Our goal is to keep Arrowmont in business,” Executive Director David Willard said Thursday. “We want to move forward as seamlessly as possible. If that means staying here, we have to

raise money to stay here with a capital campaign.” Arrowmont is paying to appraise its 14 acres in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg, and the result is probably going to be millions of dollars in value. Meanwhile, Greeneville and Knoxville officials are recruiting the school with a variety of unspecified incentives. So what is Gatlinburg willing to do to keep Arrowmont? Last June, Mayor Jerry Hays and City Manager Cindy Ogle sent a letter to Willard expressing appreciation and support for Arrowmont and pledging to work with the school “in finding new ways of

cooperation and assistance.” Gatlinburg doesn’t want Arrowmont to leave, Ogle said Thursday, but she and other city officials need more details. “We definitely still want Arrowmont to stay,” Ogle said. “We have got to gather more information to understand what it means for them to stay. Community support has got to get better defined so we know what that means.” She said it’s possible the city could contribute financially to keep Arrowmont, but it probably See arrowmont, Page A3

SEVIERVILLE — The bow that hung from the second-story railing in the lobby of the new LeConte Medical Center Thursday was an adequate metaphor for the dream local officials have for the future of health care in Sevier County – incredibly outsized. Streamers of ribbon hanging down from the massive green flourish were cut during a ceremony meant to mark a milestone, not the finish line, for that dream as the new 70-acre LeConte Medical Center campus was officially opened. Community dignitaries got the first look at the $115 million facility, while the doors opened for five hours of public tours following the ribbon-cutting. For those who have shepherded the dream from its earliest push through a certification board in Nashville in late 2006 to the reality of today, the grand opening festivities provided plenty of reason to celebrate. “This is such an exciting day for our hospital family. I’m pleased to say: Welcome to LeConte Medical Center,” hospital President Ellen Wilhoit said, garnering rapturous applause from a crowd of dozens of community leaders. Hospital and government officials became acutely aware of the need for a new facility to replace the current one, which was built more than three decades ago and was accommodating 47,000 or more patients per year in the emergenSee Leconte, Page A5

New facility — ‘a challenge and a joy’ By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — LeConte Medical Center’s special dedication ceremony on Thursday attracted a large and diverse group of community leaders, all eager to get a sneak peek at the new facility. Sevier County Bank president R.B. Summitt, who represented Sevier County on the Covenant Health Board of Directors for many years, said they realized the need for the new hospital when the emergency room — built to handle less than onethird of the patients they were actually seeing — was handling as many patients as the ERs at the University of Tennessee Medical Center and Fort Sanders Regional. “It’s been a challenge and joy,” Summitt said. “In some ways it’s been like raising a child. It’s very fulfilling to see it sort of come of age like this. It’s just amazing what’s

ever happened in Sevier County.” “It’s a wonderful, beautiful facility, and the City of Gatlinburg is thrilled to have played a small role in this,” she added. Jay Lowe, director of Leadership Sevier, and wife JoAnn were equally impressed at the longawaited hospital. “People will want to come here,” Lowe said. “It’s so beautiful and functional, the way everything is laid out.” “What a great recruiting tool for businesses and industries here,” added Allen Newton, executive director of the Sevier County Economic Development Council. “When people move, they want to know about the schools, the hospitals — Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press and boy, do we have someThe ceremony played to a packed house of invit- thing to show them.

Former employees suing Seaton for $4 million By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer Local businessman Kenneth M. Seaton, already facing charges of sexual battery, is now facing a $4 million lawsuit from two former employees claiming sexually harassment and wrongful termination. One of the two women is

among the alleged victims in the criminal case against him. The Mountain Press does Seaton not generally identify victims in alleged sex

crimes. They are each seeking $2 million in damages. The women say they were hired as housekeepers in October 2009 and fired the following month. “During their employment, the plaintiffs were subjected to unwelcome sexually offensive remarks and conduct from their

supervisor, Kenneth M. Seaton,” attorney David Burkhalter II wrote in the complaint. “Said harassment included lewd and inappropriate comments, request for sexual favors, and touching and fondling.” Local attorney Bryan Delius is representing Seaton in the criminal case

and is assisting in the civil case. “We are working toward resolution as well in those matters,” he said. The plaintiffs said they would come by Seaton’s offices at KMS Enterprises at the start of each day they worked, at which time he See seaton, Page A4

Wears Valley water line plan pushed Still must get PF approval By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — County leaders are pushing forward on a plan to extend the water line that serves the Wears Valley area past the Wearwood school, but now must secure approval from the city of Pigeon Forge to use more water from its treatment plant to serve the area. The County Commission’s Water Committee held its regular monthly session Tuesday, with Water Director Roger Sims offering an update on the Wears Valley project, which was first discussed several years ago after a resident asked that the line be extended. Since then, the effort has been dragging through what can often be a lengthy process, but may still have one of its toughest hurdles ahead. All the planning and engineering for the project,

which would extend the line to Lyons Spring Road, has been completed, Sims told the group. Funding also seems ready to go when the effort moves forward, with county leaders previously approving funding on a bond issue. “This is one of the projects that was funded several years ago,” Sims said. With all that done, the next step is to get the approval of Pigeon Forge leaders, who must OK the plan to send their water to supply the line. How easily that is done remains to be seen as the city and the county have had a fairly rocky relationship of late. The tumult started in 2008 and 2009, when Pigeon Forge refused to send its water to fill a line installed in the Jones Cove area. That pipe has been sitting empty since it was installed because of the debate as county leaders work on a deal with officials in Cocke County that will allow the line to be filled. Pigeon Forge’s position in the debate was that running water to the are would be too costly because there

are not enough potential customers to support the service. That would mean water would have to be continually flushed through the pipe to keep the water from stagnating and Pigeon Forge would have to bear the cost for that because when it supplies county-installed lines, it is only reimbursed for the water actually used by the customers, not for the total amount of water used. If it were to provide the service, Pigeon Forge leaders said the city would require the county to install a master meter on the line itself that would count all the water sent to the area. The county would then be responsible for reimbursing the city for the total amount, not just the amount that went through the individual meters at homes on the line. County leaders disagreed, arguing there are enough people seeking water service in the Jones Cove area to support it without the need for flushing. They have alleged the city’s refusal to serve the line constitutes a breach of the contract the county has with the three

local municipalities with water plants – Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville – that stipulates the cities will supply the water if the county lays the line. The most recent hiccup in the relationship has come as county leaders have made plans to set up their own water system, an idea city officials say won’t be as profitable as the county leaders expect. The county alleges Pigeon Forge hasn’t supplied the required documentation showing how much the city has spent and taken in from the county’s water lines, though city officials say they’ve cooperated with the county in providing the needed information. Whether those spats will through the future of the Wears Valley project into question remains to be seen. Still, it seems county officials at the very least aren’t hopeful the effort will be moving forward anytime soon. “Have they got a shelf up there in Pigeon Forge they can put this on?” Commissioner Jim Keener asked in jest during Tuesday’s session. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

would take a public-private partnership to do it. Bob Cantler of Morgan Square Development Group in Greeneville, spokesman for a consortium of public and private officials seeking to lure Arrowmont, said they have identified some pasture land near Tusculum College that could be ideal for Arrowmont “if they are going to move.� Cantler wouldn’t be specific on any incentives, but Arrowmont has made clear that the main factors in deciding where to find a permanent home are land ownership and the level of support the school can get from its suitors. Greeneville and Knoxville “have submitted comprehensive proposals addressing those two criteria,� Willard said. The city of Knoxville is making a pitch for that city as Arrowmont’s future home. “We’re honored to be one of the finalists for this opportunity,� Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam said in a prepared statement. “We will be putting together a group to put together a proposal that will be beneficial for both Arrowmont and Knoxville. We look forward to continuing our conversations with Arrowmont.� Mary Tatum, president of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women Grand Council (governing board), said Thursday her group has made it clear in writing to Arrowmont that it would negotiate the lease, disputing the school’s contention that no further lease extensions were possible. Tatum said she and Willard talked as recently as Wednesday. Tatum said the Grand Council has taken no formal action on the property. Barbara Huff Bevelle, an Arrowmont board member who lives in Chattanooga but has businesses in Gatlinburg, remains hopeful that a way can be found to keep the school where it is. “Greeneville and Knoxville have become very strong advocates and offered different perks for Arrowmont to move,� Bevelle said. “A number of Gatlinburg people and Sevier County people have told me how much they want

Arrowmont to stay. When we get the appraisal of land, perhaps we’ll have some realistic idea what the land is worth and if we can get enough support to buy it and be independent so this won’t happen again.� In 2007, the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi agreed to sell the land to local and out-oftown developers, who planned a $500 million commercial development to include condominiums, hotels, shops, restaurants and a water park. That project fell through, but it got Arrowmont officials to begin the process of finding a permanent home free of the threat of seeing their leased property sold. Last year, the school paid to have a feasibility study done on possible alternative sites. That study recommended Greeneville and Knoxville as the two most promising relocation sites. Townsend and Walland were rejected as potential new sites because of either land ownership or local support issues. Cantler said Arrowmont would have its own campus in Greeneville with room to grow if, for example, it wanted to add a horticulture or farming component. He said Greeneville officials approached Arrowmont when they learned the school had “lease challenges.� Arrowmont is creating a task force whose members will visit the two cities to learn more about what they are offering, and also to see what kind of support they can find in Sevier County. Bevelle is hopeful Gatlinburg and Sevier County will step up to save Arrowmont. “I hope and feel sure that the leadership of Gatlinburg and Sevier County will come together to try and see what can be done to help Arrowmont in this difficult time, to keep them where they are,� she said. However, it may take more than just buying the land to keep them in town. Pi Beta Phi is cutting its financial support to Arrowmont, as the fraternity moves toward a focus on literacy projects. Tuition and fees cover about 60 percent of the Arrowmont operating budget. n svoit@themountainpress.com

Tea Party convention loses two key speakers NASHVILLE (AP) — A planned convention of Tea Party activists lost two prominent speakers Thursday, the latest sign of disagreement over how best to showcase the movement’s growing political force. Republican Reps. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee canceled their appearances after being billed as speakers at the gathering next week in Nashville. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin remains a headline speaker at the event. Both Bachmann and Blackburn have been strong supporters of the Tea Party movement, a loose confederation of conservative activists who opposed the federal bailouts of the financial system and auto giants GM and Chrysler, as well as President Barack Obama’s proposed health care overhaul and the $787 billion stimulus plan he championed.

Attorney: 10 U.S. Baptists charged with child kidnap PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Ten members of a U.S. missionary group who said they were trying to rescue 33 child victims of Haiti’s devastating earthquake were charged with child kidnapping and criminal association on Thursday, their lawyer said. Edwin Coq said after a court hearing that a judge found sufficient evidence to charge the Americans, who were arrested Friday at Haiti’s border with the Dominican Republic. Coq attended Thursday’s hearing and represents the entire group in Haiti. Group leader Laura Silsby has said they were trying to take orphans and abandoned children to an orphanage in the neighboring Dominican Republic. She acknowledged they had not sought permission from Haitian officials, but said they just meant to help victims of the quake. The children taken from the group, ranging in age from 2 to 12, were being cared for at the Austrian-run SOS Children’s Village in Port-au-Prince on

Wednesday. The U.S. citizens, most of them members of an Idaho-based church group, were whisked away from the closed court hearing to jail in Port-auPrince, the capital. Silsby waved and smiled faintly to reporters but declined to answer questions. Coq said that under Haiti’s legal system, there won’t be an open trial, but a judge will consider the evidence and could render a verdict in about three months. Coq said a Haitian prosecutor told him the Americans were charged because they had the children in their possession. No one from the Haitian government could be reached immediately for comment. Each kidnapping count carries a possible sentence of five to 15 years in prison. Each criminal association count has a potential sentence of three to nine years. Coq said that nine of the 10 knew nothing about the alleged scheme, or that paperwork for the children was not in order.

On their last day of work, they left without contact with Seaton.

“We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code�

“The real reason they were fired was because they rejected Seaton’s sexual demands.� One of the women’s allegations resulted in a criminal charge against Seaton. Burkhalter said the other also spoke to police, but moved out of state during the investigation. “She did talk to a detective at that time, but she didn’t swear out a warrant,� he said. “I think she moved shortly after that.� Seaton’s next court appearance in the criminal case is set for Feb. 25 in general sessions court. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

cy department, nearly three times the 17,000 it was built for, Wilhoit said. That’s when they started to dream, pushing Covenant to make plans to build a brand new facility to replace the aging Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center and securing the needed permits from state officials. As they moved forward with the effort, the dream grew. Onto the new campus were added plans for a medical office building, the Dolly Parton Center for Women’s Services, a new home for the Sevier County Ambulance Service and the Thompson Cancer Survival Center. “I don’t know of any group of people that wishes and dreams bigger than Sevier Countians,” said Emily Kile who, along with Linda Ogle, co-chaired a local push to raise $10 million to support the effort. “I am so thrilled.” Other speakers who took to the dais shared in Kile’s elation. “It’s a great day in Sevier County and I’m just proud to be a small part of it,” Sevierville Mayor Bryan Atchley said. “You dream about things like this and it’s amazing to see it become reality.” County Mayor Larry Waters recalled that his first act after being elected the executive was to go down to Nashville to beg state officials for money to help keep the doors open at the nascent and struggling Fort Sanders Sevier. Even in those tough times, there were those starting to tell of the dream of expanding local healthcare offerings. “What a tremendous vision that has been for

Everything from rock work on the walls to glass panels throughout the building that encase local plants is meant to carry the theme of “mountain modern,” Wilhoit explained as she led one of the first groups. While the opening of the new campus is a huge step forward for medical care in the county and the region, it’s far from the end of the advancements that can and will be made in healthcare for Sevier County’s residents, Covenant Health CEO Tony Spezia said. “I encourage you to choose LeConte Medical Center for your health-care needs,” Spezia said. “Believe it or not, 75 percent of the people in Sevier County who need inpatient care choose to get it outside the area. Choosing LeConte Medical

Center will contribute to the growth of LeConte Medical Center and the service is provides. What looks like a finished hospital was actually built to expand.” Covenant manages the local hospital and Spezia said it’s committed to continuing its investment in the area. He also applauded the local project for having more public and private support – $10 million was raised locally to support the construction – than others in the area. “These and so man other folks make this a community project in so many ways,” Spezia said. “This new medical center will contribute

Top Bredesen adviser leaving for Frist NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A top adviser to Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen is leaving to take a senior position with Republican Bill Frist’s education initiative. Will Pinkston said Thursday that he has been hired to run the advocacy arm of Frist’s State Collaborative on Reforming Education, or SCORE. Frist, the former U.S. Senate majority Leader, founded SCORE last year after deciding not to run for governor. “Will’s unparalleled experience in the gover-

nor’s office, coupled with his deep-seated passion for education, will make a powerful addition to our ongoing efforts to change the culture of education in Tennessee,” Frist said in a statement. Pinkston, 37, was a main coordinator of the governor’s education agenda that passed overwhelmingly in last month’s special legislative session. That effort was supported by SCORE. Pinkston said his first day at SCORE will be Feb. 15. “Public education is —

hands down — the most important issue in our state and national economy,” Pinkston said in an e-mail. “Looking around the country, no state is poised to move farther, faster than Tennessee.” Pinkston is a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and The Tennessean of Nashville. He first joined Bredesen’s staff for the 2002 gubernatorial campaign. In Bredesen’s first term, Pinkston worked on such special projects as launching the state lot-

tery and efforts to combat methamphetamine production in the state. After a stint handling communications for the state Democratic Party, Pinkston served as Bredesen’s spokesman in the 2006 re-election campaign in which the governor won all 95 counties. Pinkston left to work for Nashville public relations firm McNeely Pigott and Fox after Bredesen’s second inauguration in 2007. He returned to the governor’s staff as a Cabinet-level adviser a year later.

His own conviction in his omnipotence and his own seduction of money and wealth made him delusional.” — The mother of Kirby Brown, who died during a sweat lodge ceremony held by motivational speaker James Arthur Ray. Ray was arrested on manslaughter charges after three people died following the October ceremony in Arizona.

commentary

Obama fails in flattering Republicans First the news: Barack Obama is a hell of a speaker. His first State of the Union message will not change history, but it was a skillful balancing act between the winds of change he wants to ride and the sour and contradictory winds of discontent blowing across the United States. It is not easy to reconcile the new populism shaping both the right and left in the debates of the day. The president chose to say that the Union is strong, but that is not so. How could it be so when Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, are voting in what amounts to the lockstep of people who despise each other and are confused about their own role in our democracy. In a two-party democracy it is difficult to speak of reason, when one side speaks — perhaps it is more accurate to say does not speak — in unanimous disdain of whatever the majority proposes. The loyal opposition reminds me of Emperor Qin’s terracotta army. But then, the majority Democrats often have trouble getting out of their own way, too. So our political system, like our health care system, is dysfunctional — at least if these institutions are supposed to be in the business of making life healthier and better for most of the people most of the time. One example of the frailty of the system today is that it could be rocked seismically by the election of one senator in Massachusetts. What happens next in Washington is known but to God. What the Republicans will almost certainly do is stay in their trenches with Emperor Qin. Their obvious goal is to destroy Obama’s presidency. (They would argue, with a single voice, of course, that he is taking care of that himself.) To me, the most important single line in Obama’s long address was this: “When I ran for president, I promised that I wouldn’t just do what was popular — I would do what was necessary.” So he should. I would commend to him the words of another pretty fair political thinker, the man considered the most important forerunner or philosopher of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke, the British Whig who famously said to the electors Bristol in 1774: “Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion, high respect; their business, unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. ... Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion ... “Government and legislation are matters of reason and judgment, and not of inclination; and what sort of reason is that, in which the determination precedes the discussion.” Those last words condemn his philosophical descendants, the conservatives of the Republican Party. Their determinations seem unrelated to discussion. The presidency is essentially a reactive job. We do not pay presidents by the hour. We pay them for their judgment. The words of campaigns rarely predict the events of a presidency. In the end, we are dependent on the judgments of the person in the White House when one or two or three events unforeseen threaten the Union. No one remembers whether Lincoln balanced the budget. He was elected to exercise judgment in the great crises of his day. In Bristol all those years ago, Burke concluded: “Your faithful friend, your devoted servant, I shall be to the end of my life: a flatterer you do not wish for.” President Obama has spent a year trying to flatter congressional Republicans into the orbit of the governance of reason and judgment — of discussion. He has failed. It is time for him to rely on his own judgment. — 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

Answering ‘Who Dat?!’ Most UT fans will likely be pulling for Peyton, Colts on Sunday On Sunday night in Miami, New Orleans Saints fans at Super Bowl XLIV and all across the Big Easy will chant as one nation, “Who Dat?! Who Dat?!” University of Tennessee and Indianapolis Colts fans alike will have an answer: Peyton Manning. Ironically, Manning is a New Orleans native, the son of former Saints quarterback Archie Manning. But he was a college football hero in Knoxville who grew into an almost larger-than-life professional football hero in Indianapolis: winner of four Most Valuable Player awards, architect of the 2007 Super Bowl champions, author of more than 50,000 yards passing and 366 touchdown tosses. At Tennessee, he became the starter midway through his freshman season in 1994 and went on to win 39 of 45 games. Along the way, he became the Vols’ all-time passing leader in yards and touchdowns. Manning’s Vols defeated Alabama four straight times but, in all candor, he wasn’t perfect —

he never defeated Florida, and he is probably the greatest player to never win the Heisman Trophy (losing to Michigan’s Charles Woodson). But those are statistics. And while statistics may define the player, they don’t define the man — or the Manning. Peyton earned his degree in marketing in three years, but delayed his pro career to return to Tennessee for his senior season. He still visits Knoxville frequently and is a major benefactor of the university, last fall donating $1 million. He is a spokesman for Mercy Health Partners and gives to many other local charities. In 2005, UT retired his number — 16 — and there’s a street near the stadium named Peyton Manning Pass. By the way, how many children 12 and under in this area are named Peyton? Think it’s a coincidence? In Indianapolis, Manning established the Peyback Foundation to help underprivileged children. In 2007, St. Vincent’s Hospital named its children’s wing Peyton Manning’s Children’s

Hospital at St. Vincent. When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast a few years ago, Manning led a contingent of NFL players that helped in the relief effort. And that’s only part of his benevolence. Tennessee folks are justifiably proud of what Manning has accomplished since turning pro, on and off the field. Manning and Tiger Woods may be the two most recognizable faces in sport today. Unlike Woods, however, Manning’s reputation is still intact. He transcends football; even those who don’t follow the sport know him. In 2007, when he hosted “Saturday Night Live,” Manning joked in his opening monologue that in the last 10 months he had achieved two of his lifetime goals: winning a Super Bowl “and appearing in more than half of America’s TV commercials.” Come Sunday, Peyton won’t be joking around. He’ll be all business. When Saints fans chant “Who Dat?! Who Dat?!”, Big Orange fans will have an answer.

Political view

Public forum Hospital’s smoking ban praised, but all hospitals should do same

I think that it should be a uniform law for all hospitals in the country to ban all smoking from all their medical facilities. C.J. Cruise Editor: Pigeon Forge I just read the article on the smoking ban in the new LeConte Medical Center. I agree that this is a wise move for the hospital to make. Counselors at Sevier County Smoking is not only harmful to the smoker, but can also be damaging to those around the High thanked in special week smoker. A hospital should help people get Editor: better, not worse. The administration, faculty and staff at

Area 3 champions MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL POSTSEASON

Lady Eagles secure title; advance to sectionals By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — For the second year in a row, coach Janet Johnson’s Seymour Lady Eagles are Area 3 champions. The Lady Eagles overcame an early deficit Thursday night to overpower the Newport Grammar Lady Warriors 41-31. Trailing 11-7 at the end of the first period, the Seymour defense began clicking in the second. Strong defensive play, sparked by Lexi Justus and Mariah Flynn helped the team go on a 8-4 run to knot the score at 15-15 two minutes before half. Just seconds later a big blocked shot by Flynn helped set up a nice inside score from Victoria Nelson, and a fastbreak layup for Lauren Johnson took the Lady Eagles into halftime up three points 19-16. The third quarter Saw both teams slow it down, but Seymour upped their lead to six at 26-20 by period’s end. In the fourth quarter Flynn caught fire on the offensive end, socring eight of her game-high 16 points to push the Lady Eagles to an insurmountable double-digit lead by four minutes left. Behind Flynn, Kayla Tillie and Justus were next on the scoring rolls for Seymour with seven each, while Nelson scored four, and Erin Thomas, Johnson and Breanna Green scored two points apiece. Blakely Graham chipped in with a first quarter free throw. Seymour will play this weekend in the sectional tournament at SMS.

Volunteers survive LSU BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Wayne Chism scored 20 points and No. 14 Tennessee kept LSU winless in the Southeastern Conference with a 59-54 victory Thursday night. Tennessee (17-4, 5-2) weathered a late rally by the Tigers (9-13, 0-8) after

SEYMOUR — The King’s Academy Lions boys’ and girls’ basketball teams split a pair with Temple Baptist on Tuesday night. The TKA boys came away with a decisive 58-32 win, while the Lady Lions dropped a hardfought contest 39-32. In boys’ action, the Lions took control early and outscored Temple Baptist 21-6 in the opening quarter. By intermission TKA led 34-11 en route to the 26-point blowout. African transfer student Cyrille Sandjon led the Lion effort with 14 points to go along with five steals and five rebounds. TKA seniors David Kirkpatrick and Dane Hoffmeister were the other Lions players to tally double digits with 12 and 11 ticks respectively. Kirkpatrick also added nine boards. TKA’s Anthony Kwon and Kelechi Ibe scored

Amy Ridinger and Joy Lynn Lyon led the Lady Lions with eight points apiece, and Mary Jo Fowler added seven in the loss. Allison Davis, Aubin Fowler and Cheyenne Tillman had four, three and two points respectively.

GATLINBURG — The No.2 Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders will have to wait for another day to celebrate a first-round bye in the district tournament and a guaranteed spot in the region. District 3-AA rival Austin-East Roadrunners upset the Highlanders 62-61 in Gatlinburg on Thursday night, keeping the Blue and Gold from clinching a second-place regular season finish behind No.1 Fulton. G-P senior Marquise Wall hit nothing but net on a 15-foot baseline shot with just 17 seconds left to give the Highlanders a brief 61-60 lead. But A-E’s Tashawn Kelly somehow answered on the ensuing possession and made it the final by banking an awkward-looking shot high off the glass and in with 8 seconds left, despite falling to the floor in the process. G-P junior Morrease Barber had a last-second three-point attempt bounce off the rim and to the left at the buzzer, and the Highlanders dropped their third contest of the season, all of them coming against district opponents. “Austin-East played as well as they possibly could (Thursday night),� said Placeres. “And they played like men in the paint, and (Thursday night) we played like boys in the paint. “Our big boys have got to buckle down and play big for us inside in the paint, and against A-E we didn’t, and that’s what I’m upset about.� G-P will look to rebound tonight, but it won’t be easy with a trip to Fulton on tap.

G-P girls drop close game to visiting A-E

Lady Vols topple Hogs 74-57 By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee’s Kelley Cain positioned herself on one post while Alyssia Brewer took the other one. Arkansas could handle one at times, rarely both. Cain scored 14 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked eight shots, Brewer scored 20 and pulled in nine rebounds and No. 5 Tennessee beat Arkansas 74-57 on Thursday night. “One of them shoots it on one block, the other one rebounds it on the other block,� Razorbacks coach Tom Collen said. “They’re a nightmare to defend.� With eight games left in the regular season, Tennessee got its 20th win — a feat that took the Lady Vols (20-2, 8-1 Southeastern Conference) until the final game of the season a year ago. It’s the 34th consecutive season they’ve gotten at least 20 wins under coach Pat Summitt. And even though the win kept Tennessee on top of the SEC and gave the Lady Vols their 21st win over Arkansas in 22 tries, Summitt still wasn’t completely pleased. Sloppy screens and shots by the guards kept the Lady Vols from getting off to a fast start against one of the SEC’s worst teams. The Razorbacks (9-13, 1-8) read the screens and had an easy time predicting the Lady Vols’ passes, making it easy for them to snatch the ball. C’eira Ricketts had five of Arkansas’s 11 steals which helped lead to 10 fastbreak points.

both of those games, they can still clinch second place in the district if A-E loses its district finale against Union. Thursday night, Wall sparked a 14-4 run at the end of the third quarter with a drive to the basket with 3:54 remaining and the Highlanders down 39-37 at the time. Wall drew a shooting foul on the play, and A-E was called for a technical foul on the reaction to the call. Wall hit 1-of-2 and G-P senior McKinley Maples hit 2-of-2 to give the Highlanders a 40-39 lead and possession of the ball. Wall converted moments later with an eight-foot fingertip roll for a 42-39 Blue-and-Gold edge that grew to 51-43 by the end of the third, when Maples hit for five quick points on a trey and two char-

“The guards were trying to do too much,� Summitt said. “I said, ’Get the ball inside. We’re going to play from the inside, out.’ That really changed how we played.� Brewer and Cain both hit layups as Tennessee scored seven straight points to pull away from Arkansas in the first half. Glory Johnson missed her first free throw attempt but sank the second to give the Lady Vols an 18-10 lead with 9:12 left in the first half. Tennessee finished with 40 points in the paint. “We always emphasize getting the ball inside because we have two of the best posts in the country,� Tennessee’s Angie Bjorklund said. “They work really well together. I thought they both really battled inside, and I was proud of them. I hope they continue to play like that.� The Lady Vols led 31-23 at halftime but could have been much more in control had they not missed six of 10 free throw attempts before the break. Tennessee entered the game averaging an uncharacteristically low 63.6 percent on free throws in SEC play and hit just 54.5 percent against the Razorbacks. The Lady Vols pulled away in the second half thanks to some help from Bjorklund, who scored all of her 17 points after halftime, including seven straight points. Shekinna Stricklen finished with 12 points. They couldn’t completely shake the Razorbacks, who continued to threaten with their outside shooting. Charity Ford led the way

with 18 points and Ricketts added 13. Lyndsay Harris scored four of Arkansas’ nine 3s and finished with 12 points. “We can’t beat teams that way,� Ford said. “We have to be able to get it inside.� Summitt put Kamiko Williams at the point guard position in her first-ever start for the Lady Vols in hopes of curing some of her team’s offensive woes. Williams was coming off a career-high 17

points in a sloppy win over South Carolina. It didn’t work quite as Summitt had hoped. Williams was responsible for two early turnovers, and Summitt pulled her at the first media timeout, opting instead for what she called “point guard by committee.� “I thought (Williams would) be a lot better, but this is her first start at that position so we’ve got time,� Summitt said.

ity shots on back-to-back possessions. The Roadrunners stormed back to start the fourth quarter, however, and went on a 10-0 run to gain a 53-51 A-E lead with 5:12 in the game. G-P junior Jon McCroskey sniped a trey with 4:14 in the game to give G-P a 54-53 lead, but he fouled out moments later and A-E went on a 5-0 run to take a 58-54

Roadrunners lead with 2:06 on the clock. Maples entered the game needing just four points to hit the 1,000-point mark in his high school career. He hit for five ticks in the opening moments of the first quarter on a trey and a field goal, and play was halted for a few moments for a commemorative basketball presentation to the player and his parents, Kenny and Kathy Maples.

Maples finished the night with a game-high 28 points, Wall hit for 10, Barber had nine, McCroskey seven, Jose Agosto five and Drew Barton a deuce.

GATLINBURG - The Gatlinburg-Pittman Lady Highlanders played their hearts out until the final buzzer Thursday night, but they were left heartbroken at the end of a 59-57 loss to visiting District 3-AA rival Austin-East Lady Roadrunners. G-P senior Morgan Dodgen, senior Leah Bryan and junior Lacee Tinker all hit shots late in the fourth quarter to pull the Lady Highlanders to within a point or two of the Lady Roadrunners. But it wasn’t until Tinker snagged a rebound and put it back in on an and-one play that G-P grabbed a 57-55 lead with just 28.55 seconds remaining. The crowd went crazy on the play and on Tinker’s made free throw, and the A-E team looked visibly shaken as they called a timeout to regroup. Austin-East’s JaWanza Swaggerty drew a shooting foul with 15.94 seconds on the clock, but she missed the front end and G-P still held a 57-56 lead.

side of the bracket, including Hixson, Greenback, Chattanooga Central and Cheatham County. If the Tigers happen to drop a match before the finals, they would slide to the losers’ bracket with a chance to earn the third spot in the state. But the Orange-and-Black wrestlers aren’t concerned about the losers’ bracket, because they are making the trip with the intention of winning it all. “This is the first time I’ve gone to state for wrestling,” said Pigeon Forge senior and captain Hayden Whaley, whose personal record was 37-4 this season. “But I’ve been there with the baseball team, and I know what it feels like to come up a little bit short. I know how it feels to get beat at the state tournament, and it ain’t going to happen again.” It’s a message Whaley has shared with his wrestling teammates. “The other day before practice ..., I told them it’s like nothing I’ve ever done,” said Whaley. “It’s probably the most fun you’ll ever have in your life, and we’ll be sharing it as a team. “We’ve really come together as a family this year, and we’re really pulling it together right now, and right now is the time we’ve got to do it.” But even if the Tigers fall short of the top prize, a 22-win season and a guaranteed top-eight state finish has already set a new standard for the Orangeand-Black program. The program’s previous best was 16 wins. “I thank God for giving us the opportunity and allowing us to be competitive,” said Pigeon Forge coach

Greg Foreman, in his ninth season at the helm of the Tigers. “And the hard work the kids have put into the program is now starting to pay off. We’re all very, very excited about this opportunity. “This is the best team we’ve ever had.” With just one senior on the roster, this 10-year-old Tigers program is also very young with eight freshman, five sophomores and six juniors. The improved Pigeon Forge youth and middle school feeder programs are now starting to make a difference for the high school program. “This is the first, largest class to follow through the elementary and middle school programs,” said Foreman. “A lot of these freshman starters have followed through the youth and middle school programs, and now we’re starting to see this wave that was started years and years ago filter up into the high school, and it’s really starting to pay off now.” With just one senior leader on the team, some of the younger wrestlers have had to step up and assume leadership responsibilities. “I try to set an example that everyone can look to, especially the younger guys,” said sophomore team captain Cody Davis, whose personal record was 40-2 this season. It’s a lesson Davis learned from Whaley last year, when the sophomore moved to Pigeon Forge from Seymour and first started wrestling with the Tigers as a freshman. “When I first moved here, I didn’t know anybody,” said Davis. “So I looked up to Hayden, and whatever he did to get better, I went through with it too.” Besides Whaley and Davis, juniors Cody Watson,

Edward Holland and Cody Young, sophomores Nathaneal Parton, Tad Walde, David Kieta and Brett Stelzer, and freshmen Caleb Poole, Joseph Dodgen, Spencer Davis, Austin Ogle and Nate Croley will see mat time this weekend at state. Juniors Josh Kays and Jared Beck, along with freshmen Trent Dryman, Trevor Dryman and Trevor Reed will make the trip as alternates. Junior Logan Sims will also make the trip but can’t compete due to a broken hand. Managers Shay Williams, Tori Parker, Katie Bourgeois, Daniel Lowery and Angel Prince will also be making the trip along with the Tiger cheerleaders. Although they believe they are one of the top teams in the state, the Tigers have not managed to crack into the regular-season top-10 poll this year for a few reasons. First, the wrestling poll does not take into consideration classifications like football and basketball do, which means the largest schools have a better shot at being ranked. Also in order to seek out tough competition, the Tigers wrestle out of state a lot during the regular season, which hurts their chances of picking up votes in the state poll. And thirdly, it’s because the Orange and Black have never gone to state as a team before today. “Since there are three divisions, they should all be ranked separately like in football and basketball, or anything else,” said Foreman. “But how the teams placed last year also has a lot to do with the rankings. So, if we win state this year, there is a very good likelihood that would help us to make the poll next year,” he laughed.

Predators down Avalanche 5-3 NASHVILLE (AP) — Patric Hornqvist had two powerplay goals and an assist to help the Nashville Predators beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 on Thursday night. The Predators came into the game seventh in the Western Conference, only four points behind sixthplace Colorado, and they now have earned five of six points possible with one game remaining in this last four-game homestand before

the Olympic break. Jason Arnott had a goal and three assists, and Steve Sullivan had a power-play goal and an assist. Joel Ward also had a goal, and Shea Weber added two assists as Nashville won the season series with Colorado 3-1-0. Cody McLeod, Matt Duchene and Justin Mercier scored for Colorado, which has lost four of five coming off a season-best six-game winning streak.

Colorado had killed 24 straight penalties coming in and stretched that to 25 before Nashville scored three goals on the next five man advantages. McLeod put Colorado up 1-0 at 16:39 of the first period after Nashville failed to keep the puck in its zone. Chris Stewart corralled the puck and brought it up the right side before passing cross-ice to McLeod, who put a snap shot past Pekka Rinne.

Coroner: Pneumonia, drugs killed actress LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia, but anemia and prescription drugs also played a role, coroner’s officials said Thursday. The primary cause of death was communityacquired pneumonia, with contributingfactors of iron deficiency Murphy anemia and “multiple drug intoxication,� according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. The death was ruled accidental. Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey declined to specify what types of drugs were involved but said they were all prescription medications. Details about the

drugs the “Clueless� and “8 Mile� star had in her system will be released in several weeks when a complete report is done. Murphy died Dec. 20 at age 32 after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home. Her mother and husband have said the actress didn’t abuse prescription medications or have an eating disorder. Attempts to reach them for further comment were not immediately successful Thursday. Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, told investigators the actress had been experiencing flu-like symptoms in the days before she died. Monjack told The Associated Press last month that his wife did take several prescriptions, including an anti-seizure drug, but did not abuse the medications.

Harness the Wolpert donates ovens to WSCC power of focus Submitted reports

MIT professor Sherry Turkle said during a PBS interview on the Front Line: Digital Nation program, “I teach some of the most brilliant students in the world, but they have done themselves a disservice by drinking the Kool-Aid and believing that a multitasking learning environment will serve their best purposes. There are just some things that are not amenable to being thought about in conjunction with 15 other things.” Simply speaking, Sherry Turkle is talking about how the power of focus is becoming a lost art in today’s society. This is especially true among students who text, tweet, talk with someone, listen to music, watch, TV and surf the Internet while doing homework and studying for tomorrow’s exam. Former tennis champion Billie Jean King recommended that emerging tennis players set aside 15 minutes a week and do nothing but stare at a tennis ball. King said, “If you can stay interested in the tennis ball by doing nothing else but staring at it for 15 minutes, it will make it that much easier to stay interested in the ball and pay attention to it more in a match. And if you can pay enough attention to a ball in a match, distractions will become less of a problem for you.” While mentoring students and adults recently, I told the group how several years ago my wife Jean wanted me to accompany her on a sharks’ teeth expedition after I finished a speaking engagement at a beach resort. We had been on a number of beaches but had never found the sharks’ teeth she wanted so badly. So we walked down to the ocean. She then went in one direction and I went in the opposite direction as we combed the sand for the prized possessions. We met up again in about two hours. I was empty handed. She

returned with about a dozen sharks’ teeth. “What did you do?” I asked her. “Did you catch a shark and pull the sucker’s teeth out?” She smiled, shook her head and replied, “You know, every now and then I listen to you.” I said, “Good. But what does that have to do with sharks’ teeth?” She said, “Well, you know how you’re always talking about the power of focus?” I nodded my head and said, “Yes.” She then told me, “I focused. I began to focus on things in the sand that were dark and triangular — like a shark’s tooth. I may have missed some beautiful shells or even some coins. But when I started focusing in on everything dark and triangular, those sharks’ teeth just sort of started jumping out at me.” Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said, “My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things.” Well-known financier T. Boone Pickens said, “The older I get, the more I see a straight path where I want to go. If you’re going to hunt elephants, don’t get off the trail for a rabbit.” General George S. Patton said, “No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.” The power of focus – keeping your eyes on the task at hand – does wonders. © 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.

the classroom right into work,” Hallman said. One example of the new skills that will be taught will be how steam is used in baking french bread, Hallman added. The public can share in the students’ work through an open bakery on the Sevier County campus every Thursday from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The bakery

is located in the ConnerShort Center and offers a variety of baked goods, including breads, cinnamon roles and pastries, muffins, cakes and pies. There are special treats offered around spring holidays. For Valentine’s Day, for example, the bakery will offer truffles and Valentine-themed cupcakes and cookies.

H e a lt h D e pa r t m e n t I n s p e c t i o n R e p o r t s The Department of Health is responsible for regulation of food service establishments in Tennessee The law requires that restaurants have an unannounced inspection at least once every six months to determine if they are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations at the time of inspection. In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints. Tennessee uses a 44-item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Inspections since Jan. 27:

SEVIERVILLE — A gift by Sevier County restaurateur Geoffrey Wolpert has enabled Walters State’s Rel Maples Institute of Culinary Arts to operate a bakery program like few other culinary schools. The owner of the Peddler and Park Grill restaurants in Gatlinburg recently donated over $75,000 in ovens and baking materials to the institute. Wolpert is a member of Walters State’s Culinary Arts Advisory Board. “It is very rare for a culinary arts institution to have this type of equipment,” said Catherine Hallman, assistant professor and head of the institute. The gift included specialized ovens, an electric stove and unique cake pans. The donation left Catherine Hallman, head of the Rel Maples Institute, raving about the work her students would now be able to do. “We have the same bakery equipment now that is used in the business and

DHS seeks help with summer food program

CROSS hosting luncheon Submtted reports SEYMOUR — Christians Reaching Out Serving Seymour (CROSS) invites pastors and missions leaders or two representatives of the pastor’s choice from every church in Seymour to attend an appreciation luncheon. The event will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Seymour United Methodist Church, 107 Simmons Road at Chapman Highway. Those planning to attend are asked to provide names and titles as soon as possible by e-mailing to crossfoodministry@charter.net or calling Dottie Sollman at 323-4415. The luncheon is the first step toward encouraging and educating the community about CROSS and how churches can join forces to serve the needy more effectively. CROSS officials have had difficulty coming up with a current and accurate mailing list for all the Seymour churches. Churches that did not receive an invitation are still asked to make reservations by using the e-mail or telephone number mentioned above as soon as possible.

A medical team in Haiti to treat earthquake victims includes four Summit Medical Group physicians and four nurses. From left in front are Dr. John Law, Teresa Overholt, Becky Warren, Evonne Davison and Connie Juranek; back row, Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, retired physician Dr. Charles Barnett and Sevierville’s Dr. Charles Bozeman.

Local doctor among physicians in Haiti Four local Summit Medical Group doctors are in Haiti to treat earthquake victims. They include Dr. Charles Bozeman, who practices family medicine in Sevierville. Three of the four doctors left their Summit primary care practices to spend Feb. 2-9 in Haiti, including Dr. Bozeman. Provision was working with The Jimani Project in Dominican Republic, about 25 miles from Haiti’s earthquake zone. The Jimani Project, begun in Knoxville about 10 years ago, had recently constructed a yet-to-be-opened orphanage and clinic, which was quickly turned into a hospital after the earthquake. Patients were being brought from Port-au-Prince to the makeshift hospital, swelling its capacity to 1,000. When Dr. John Law learned of the need for medical professionals and of

a donated private plane, he sent out an e-mail to Summit colleagues seeking volunteers. Bozeman, who has practiced in Sevierville for 30 years, joined in. The group is also taking 200 pounds of medical supplies. Law has worked extensively in Summit’s Express Clinics, so he’s treated lots of injuries. He said in Haiti he expects to mostly treat wounds and infections. The quickly assembled team, including four nurses, met for the first time Sunday night. Bobbie Corden of Provision said the faith-based organization has had teams of physicians and nurses in Haiti for about two weeks and plans a subsequent trip when this team returns. Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church is handling donations made to the effort. The church’s Web site is http://www. cspc.net.

The Tennessee Department of Human Services is looking for nonprofit and local government agencies to help feed low-income children this summer. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to provide meals to needy children during summer vacation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides funding. The program is designed for children who depend upon school lunch and breakfast programs and whose food needs may be greater when schools are closed. DHS contracts with a variety of local agencies to prepare, deliver and serve free meals and snacks to children at locations in low-income areas. Last year, 55 sponsors operated the program at 1,582 feeding sites. These sites included parks, play-

grounds, recreation centers, schools, colleges, churches, camps and other places. Sponsorship is limited to public and private nonprofit school food authorities; governments; colleges and universities participating in the National Youth Sports Program; residential public or private nonprofit summer camps; and private nonprofit organizations. Sponsors must agree to serve meals to all children in attendance. For information contact David Farmer or Doug Hutchison before March 17 at (615) 313‑4749; e-mail to david.farmer@tn.gov or doug.hutchison@ tn.gov. The deadline for new agencies to submit applications is at least 30 days prior to the start of their summer meal program.

Child doesn’t want contact with drug, alcohol addicted father

Dear Annie: My father has hurt our family with drug use, alcoholism and lies, and we haven’t spoken in more than a year. Recently, he has been attempting to contact me. He’s sent voicemails, letters and a few e-mails. We e-mailed a little bit in the past week, but I told him I wasn’t ready to talk. I’m not sure what to do. At some level, I realize the only reason I’m in touch is to express how much anger I have toward him. After seriously thinking it over, I’ve decided I don’t really want a relationship. It’s not fair to me to go through this pattern one more time, and I can’t take being hurt again. But I feel guilty. Maybe this time he’s genuine about wanting to change and it’s wrong of me not to give him another chance. But every time this has happened in the past, I only end up getting hurt. Please help. — Still Hurting Dear Still: It’s understandable that you keep hoping your father will straighten out and be the person you want him to be. You don’t have to keep in touch if you don’t want to, but if you decide not to give up on him, you will need to protect yourself emotionally. Accept the fact that he may never change and you might be able to continue an e-mail correspondence. It will allow you to stay in touch, keep track of whatever progress he might make and let him feel part of your life, while maintaining enough emotional distance that you won’t be kicking yourself later. Keep your expectations low, and do not allow him to make additional

inroads unless you are prepared for any negative consequences. Dear Annie: I have two sons, ages 2 and 4. They get invited to many birthday parties together. I understand the cost is greater for the host to have both of my boys, and at this age, parents are typically invited to stay, as well. I will either give the birthday child one $20 gift from both or two $10 presents. However, when my boys have birthday parties, regardless of how far in advance I send out invitations, family members seem to be the only ones who attend. The few times friends have shown up, siblings have only given one gift, even from multiple children, and it is something extremely inexpensive. I don’t really care what kind of gifts my children receive, but I am wondering whether I’m overdoing it. Could this be why friends don’t come to my children’s parties? Do they think I expect them to spend as much as I do? — Unopened Goodie Bags Dear Goodie: Maybe. You are not doing anything wrong, but that doesn’t mean other parents aren’t intimidated. It’s also possible they have other objections. If you are particularly close with one of the parents, it wouldn’t hurt to inquire. But some of this will resolve itself as your children get older and

they and their friends are invited individually, without parents, to one another’s parties. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried in Pennsylvania,” whose fiance’s disrespectful 17-year-old daughter gets suspended from school and wrecks cars. We had a teenager like that. Through the advice of friends, we had him checked by a psychiatrist, who wound up treating him for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD was fairly new then, and a lot of people still have mixed feelings about it, but after being put on medication, the positive changes in our son’s behavior were almost immediate. “Worried” should do whatever she can to get this girl to a psychiatrist or neurologist who is experienced in dealing with ADHD to see whether that’s the cause of her behavior. — Former Pennsylvanian in California Dear Former: Thank you for pointing out that there can be many reasons for reckless behavior in teens and it is always a good idea to see whether there are medical causes behind it.
