Honeymoon ends in murder

PIGEON FORGE — An Athens man is behind bars after authorities say he murdered his wife on their honeymoon. Brian Lyn Umphrey, 34, was arrested shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday near Riceville on charges he murdered Cassandra Maya Petry, 36, of Rockwood, in

a room at the Days Inn at 2760 Parkway in Pigeon Forge. He was expected to be transported to Sevier County Jail later Tuesday, authorities said. According toPigeonForge Police Chief Jack Baldwin, authorities received a call late Monday from Petry’s sister, who became worried after she didn’t hear from her sibling that day. When police entered the

third-floor room the couple was sharing at about 11:30 p.m., they found Petry dead apparently from stab wounds. Umphrey, meanwhile, was nowhere to be found. That prompted a massive manhunt covering several counties in East Tennessee after law enforcement officials received a tip he may have returned to the Athens area in Petry’s 1999 Dodge

Durango. The search covered most of the day until a sergeant with the Athens Police Department spotted the vehicle headed south on Interstate 75 near the Riceville exit. Umphrey was apprehended without incident and was transported back to Sevier County late Tuesday to await trial on See murder, Page A4

Seymour High School students react to the news Tuesday. The school won $100,000 in the U.S. Cellular’s $1 million “Calling All Communities” campaign. Related Story on A4.

Seymour schools win big award from U.S. Cellular By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Seymour High School students, faculty and staff thought they were ushered into the school gym Tuesday to hear a motivational speaker — but Principal Greg Clark had a big surprise up his sleeve. “Do you believe in something better?” Tom Catani, U.S. Cellular regional vice president, asked the crowd. “You should — you have won $100,000!” Cheers, horns and confetti erupted as the group realized what had just been announced: SHS is one of the nation’s 10 winning schools in U.S. Cellular’s $1 million “Calling All Communities” campaign. The company awarded $100,000 to each of the 10 schools who had the most votes, which were gathered from mid-November to mid-January. Individuals 18 years or older could visit any U.S. Cellular store to get a code to vote online for their school. There was no purchase necessary and voters didn’t have to be a U.S. Cellular customer to vote. The winning schools will choose how they spend the money. “I knew we could do it — how about that?” Clark said with a smile. “I want to thank you, the greatest students in the whole world, for your hard work. It’s a

SEVIERVILLE – The Board of Mayor and Aldermen didn’t reach a final consensus Tuesday on a request from developer John Turley to build a new road for his Dumplin Creek project, but what they heard appeared to move it toward rejection of the proposal. Turley only spoke briefly about the proposal during the second day of the board’s annual retreat, but the board spent much of the morning discussing the proposal. He evoked the name of the city’s late city administrator in making the case for what he termed a public-private partnership at his development. “This is what Doug Bishop envisioned when he envisioned the Central Business Improvement District (CBID),” he told the board. He compared his proposal to the city working with the developers at the Bridgemont property, where the city has built its new Events Center. City officials didn’t appear inclined to agree with that analogy. The infrastructure the city paid for around the Events Center was designed for that facility and the city’s golf course, they noted. The developers paid for the roads and utilities that served their own projects. The city didn’t use public funds to pay for a private development, he said, which is what Turley is requesting. “As (Bishop’s) assistant during that period of time … one of the first things I did when I came on the job was try to understand the CBID and its complexities,” City Administrator Steve Hendrix said. Those complexities include the state’s rules on how CBID funding can and cannot be used. Bond attorney Mark Mamantov told the board he didn’t believe the city can use funds already obtained for the CBID on that project, as did Hendrix. The city got access to about $200 million in bond funding for that project, along with the ability to repay the loans using the portion of sales tax revenues within the district that would ordinarily be allotted to the state See boma, Page A5

Last year, more than 120,000 votes were cast for 6,500 schools across the country. Winners represented public and private schools in Wisconsin, Illinois, Oklahoma, North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Nebraska and Iowa. Funds were used for everything from scholarships and computer labs to playgrounds and gymna-

sium renovations. More than 430,000 votes were tallied nationwide this year. This year, 6,800 schools across the country participated. Seymour’s vote total was not available. “The votes you needed to win were gigantic — it probably took every person in Seymour voting,” Catani, who is based in Knoxville, said with a laugh. “We’re happy to see a Sevier County school in this. We’re also really proud of our local U.S. Cellular stores; they had thousands of people coming into vote, so it was a great opportunity for them.” Catani added that Seymour schools had three projects funded through another one of U.S. Cellular’s programs last year, “Calling All Teachers.” “These schools are really on the ball.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Spending limits on county-owned cars drives debate By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — One group of local leaders is looking at putting a limit on how much can be spent on the cars county employees are allowed to buy on the government’s tab. While there are some offices in the courthouse that require vehicles to get their employees around in their duties – such as the property assessor’s staff, which must drive around the county to follow new development – the concern seems to be with those county workers who get a government car for their personal use. County officials insist the 22 county-owned vehicles used by courthouse employees, mainly department heads, are only operated to convey those folks to and from their homes and through the execution of their official duties. Still, rumors have circulated widely enough about other use of the cars that at least two county commissioners Monday made reference to them being used on family vacations. “County employees who are issued vehicles are told that the vehicles are to be used for business purposes only, to the best of their abilities,” Communications Coordinator Perrin

Anderson said. “At the recent budget mid-year review, department heads were reminded to tell employees with county vehicles of this. The county is working on a new employee handbook where vehicle policy will be covered in greater detail.” Debate on the matter sprung up during the County Commission Budget Committee’s meeting Monday, when County Clerk Joe Keener came to ask that he be allowed to purchase a new car after his 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe broke down with just over 120,000 miles on it. Unfortunately for Keener, timing is everything, and his vehicle chose to lay down on the job at a particularly inopportune time. As several commissioners pointed out in the session, the commission as a whole annually approves the purchase of new cars for department heads whose vehicles have outlived their usefulness. What’s unique about Keener’s request isn’t that he hoped to replace his car with a new Hyundai Tucson or even the relatively low mileage on the Tahoe, it’s that it came in February, halfway through the county’s fiscal year. That apparently caught the attention of several committee members,

who got into a serious discussion about limiting the amount a county employee can spend on the government’s tab for a vehicle, though very little of the debate was focused on Keener’s actual problem. “We need to put a cap on these cars,” Commissioner Kent Woods said. “I’d like to see us fix this thing. There’s no reason this shouldn’t have been fixed 20 years ago. (County Mayor Larry) Waters, why haven’t you fixed this?” Waters and Woods shared a tense laugh after the question, though it’s unclear if Woods was joking or seriously believes the issue should have been addressed long ago. Certainly, he made every effort to get some resolution to it Monday. “Why don’t we fix it now?” Woods asked. “I make a motion we set a $20,000 limit with adjustments each year based on the cost of living index.” Woods’ push seemed to have effort around the table, as several commissioners expressed agreement on setting a limit. “I don’t think any department head ought to be able to get anything over a mid-size,” Commissioner Fred Atchley said. “It needs to be a basic model, whatever it is.” Commissioner Warren

Hurst agreed, though he warned the group would have to stick to whatever rules it sets. Though he supports setting limits, Hurst convinced Woods to hold his motion until the group can investigate the matter more. Hurst said he wants the committee to know what impact such rules would have and have a better idea what the base price should be before it acts. Keener’s request could have fallen under all the requirements suggested during the meeting, with the Tucson a mid-sized SUV with a base price tag for the regular consumer starting under $19,000, according to the Hyundai Web site. There’s a good chance the price tag could have come in under that amount, too, since the county can buy vehicles on state contracts, which include prices that have been negotiated lower than those offered on the lot. Still, Keener grew clearly frustrated with what he apparently viewed as personal attacks from a group that has some history with the clerk. Keener eventually withdrew his request, though not before pointing out his requests often seem to garner critical attention from the committee. “Withdraw my request. I’ll just have it fixed and

go on, boys,” Keener told the all-male group after Commissioner Buster Norton pointed out it would be cheaper to put a new engine in the car than replace it. “Isn’t it amazing that every time I bring something up, it blows up like this?” Keener pointed out a previous petition he brought to the group asking that his office be allowed to lease muchneeded space for its vehicle tag operations in the former Sevier County Bank building blew up into a year-long investigation into all the county’s space needs. A committee

was formed to look into the matter after several in the budget group took aim at Keener’s request and his management of his department. While it was Keener’s request that prompted the interest in clamping down on the purchases, Atchley pointed out it could just as easily have been some other department head coming in the middle of the year. “I’ve had more complaints on this issue than anything else,” Atchley said. “We’ve needed to do something on that.” n dhodges@themountainpress.com

TOKYO (AP) — Toyota is recalling 437,000 Prius and other hybrid vehicles worldwide to fix brake problems — the latest embarrassing safety lapse at the world’s largest automaker. “I don’t see Toyota as an infallible company that never makes mistakes,” President Akio Toyoda said at a news conference Tuesday. “We will face up to the facts and correct the problem, putting customers’ safety and convenience first.” The number of vehicles recalled globally by Toyota Motor Corp. now has ballooned to 8.5 million, including for floor mats that can trap gas pedals and faulty gas pedals that are slow to return to the idle position. The 2010 model of the Prius — the world’s topselling hybrid and Japan’s top-selling car — wasn’t part of the earlier recalls. There have been about 200 complaints in Japan and the U.S. about a delay when the brakes in the Prius were pressed in cold conditions and on some bumpy roads. The delay doesn’t indicate a brake failure. The company says the problem can be fixed in 40 minutes with new software that oversees the controls of the antilock brakes. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement Tuesday that Toyota’s leaders have

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is offering trail specialty license plates to Tennessee residents. Funds from sales of the specialty plates will broaden awareness of this resource by promoting the Appalachian Trail on vehicles. In addition, each plate will generate $15.56 annually for the conservancy, supporting such programs as land conservation, volunteer-based trail and facilities maintenance, natural-resources management, and programs that introduce children and teachers to the trail. Once 1,000 applications are received and the state begins producing tags, Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s share of the renewal fees will serve as a permanent funding source for the organization’s work. A grant from the Eastman Chemical Company Foundation is allowing the conservancy to offer reduced prices for 500 people that apply for a license plate in Tennessee. As a result of the grant, the plates are now available for $15 instead of the usual $35 annual fee. Renewals will be at the standard $35 fee. The conservancy will give a one-time annual membership to those first 500. Existing members may give someone else the membership as a gift.

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEYMOUR — Seymour High School Principal Greg Clark says he has a long list of people to thank for helping his school win $100,000 — basically, the entire Seymour community. “It just picked up momentum,� he said of U.S. Cellular’s “Calling All Communities� campaign, which awarded $100,000 to the 10 schools in the country receiving the most votes. “You’d go out in the community — to the grocery store — and you’d have people who didn’t even have kids in school tell you that they picked up cards (to vote).� Individuals 18 and older could go into any U.S. Cellular store to pick up a card with an online code to vote for their school. SHS, Seymour Middle School, Seymour Intermediate School and Seymour Primary School all rallied for voter support for the high school by hosting pep rallies, marching in the Christmas parade, creating their own “Calling All Communities� holiday carol and ornaments, posting signs in local businesses and stuffing flyers in mailboxes. SHS senior Wesley Burkhart remembers hearing about the campaign for the first time. “An announcement came on the intercom, saying we would be participating in U.S. Cellular’s contest and how we’d by trying to get the most votes for $100,000,� Burkhart said. “We knew the money would be divided up among the schools. The chorus was working

hard (to get money) for our new room and our new musical. I just kept going into U.S. Cellular.� “It’s awesome that we had the opportunity to do this for ourselves,� added fellow senior Olivia Crisp. “I know we’re a small town, but we have a really great community. Every time we were out on the weekends — at Turkey Creek, West Town Mall — we would go into a U.S. Cellular store. It was essentially us going out and gathering as many cards as possible.� Senior Juliet Sutphin enlisted help

and some of them we just can’t really talk about right now, but this fellow will be charged with murder. I’m just not sure what degree at this point. It would be hard for us to prove premeditation unless he admits it.� Baldwin confirmed Umphrey has “some domestic violence

murder charges. “We know he did it,� Baldwin said. “He was in the room. She was his wife. He disappeared suddenly. There are a lot of circumstances we have here

from family around the country. “I got lots of cards to send — I have an uncle in California, an aunt in Pennsylvania and a brother in Chattanooga,� she said. Sutphin was also impressed with how all of the Seymour schools pulled together. “Everybody was working toward one goal,� she said. “I’d like to give a huge thanks to U.S. Cellular — I don’t know many companies that give away $10,000, much less $100,000 to 10 schools.� Seymour Middle Principal Faye Nelson said her school will use the money to upgrade computers and printers. “Each school had team captains — ours were Mary Manners and Tanya McCarrell — and they would meet periodically,� she said. “It was a lot of hard work.� Clark credits Shirley Clepper, a local independent agent with U.S. Cellular, for suggesting Seymour schools participate in the campaign. “We basically lived and breathed ‘Calling All Communities,’� said Clepper, whose husband, Chris, is also an independent agent. “We went and got banners made and went to basketball games, anywhere there were events. This has been tremendous for our business — it’s increased our traffic by 1,000 percent.� “We’re thrilled,� Seymour Intermediate Principal Peggy Oakes said. “This was a great community effort; everyone rallied behind us. It was a lot of work, a lot of hours.�

“I got lots of cards to send — I have an uncle in California, an aunt in Pennsylvania and a brother in Chattanooga. ... Everybody was working toward one goal.�

Dollywood banners banned from city streets by ordinance

Obama reaches out to end bipartisanship WASHINGTON (AP) — Appealing for bipartisanship in a town where it’s hard to find, President Barack Obama sat down with Democrats and Republicans Tuesday to spur cooperation on job creation, deficit reduction and health care overhaul. He promised to do his part — but warned he would take Republicans to task if they don’t do the same. “The people who sent us here expect a seriousness of purpose that transcends petty politics,� Obama said after the meeting, as he made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room.

Obama’s appeal was his latest effort to reach out to Republicans following GOP Sen. Scott Brown’s surprise election last month to replace the late Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy in Massachusetts. Brown’s win deprived Democrats of the votes they need to keep the Republican minority in the Senate from blocking Obama’s legislative agenda, including his plan to overhaul the nation’s health care system. Obama started his remarks to reporters by engaging in a bit of wishful thinking: joking about Senate Democratic

he thinks the city should take. There is a risk to this, he said. “(Dumplin Creek) could go belly up.� He noted the struggles Pigeon Forge is facing in a similar situation after banks foreclosed on the Belle Island project as it neared completion. Even if Sevierville were willing to seek a general obligation bond, private lending institutions would have to review the request for bond funds, Hendrix added. Should it be approved, that would still reduce the city’s ability to fund its own projects. “The only place that could come out of is city coffers,� he said,� (and) the revenues generated would go to the CBID.� Alderman Barry Gibbs continued to say he didn’t support Dumplin Creek in particular, but that he believes the city needs to look at the need for a new interstate interchange. Interstate 40 only runs through a small section of northern Sevier County, and currently the county only has one interchange – 407. Traffic at that exit during peak tourist season exceeds capacity, and state officials recently told the city there would be little return on making improvements to it. Gibbs said that means it’s time to look into getting a new interchange. Hendrix noted the federal government won’t commit to that without substantial improvements to whatever county road serves it. While Gibbs said he wasn’t favoring the Dumplin Creek project, he said the city needs

and county. The city has used much of the money to pay for its new Events Center and for an expansion to the adjacent Eagles Landing Golf Course. The state law creating the CBID designation was designed for cities to use in building facilities such as the Events Center and the infrastructure needed to serve them. The city could take the request to the state, but Mamantov noted the city already pushed the limits of the CBID framework by creating a district that runs from Interstate 40 along Highway 66 to downtown Sevierville, and includes plans for improvements to Old Knoxville Highway and Veterans Boulevard, which will eventually connect to Highway 66 across from Gists Creek Road and the Events Center. “Any expenditure we make on anything else is going to take away from the original vision,� Hendrix said. Mayor Bryan Atchley noted the state eliminated several proposals for additional roads and infrastructure when the city first proposed the projects. The city has eliminated some plans, including a downtown parking garage, since the project was approved. But overall expenses have increased, especially for road construction. The city is already looking at scaling back some of the projects it promised citizens as part of the project. While the state law is designed for construction of public use facilities such as the Events Center, the intention locally was to get funds to build Veterans Boulevard and Old Knoxville Highway, and those projects haven’t happened yet. When the city was finalizing the CBID, he said, they also knew that Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World was already being constructed in the district, and that guaranteed it a large new source of sales tax funds in the first years they were working on the project. While Turley has said that Walmart plans to build on his property, he’s said the megaretailer won’t sign the final contracts until the contracts for road construction are signed. The district has generated enough funds to pay the next two years of debt service on the CBID bonds without asking the city for aid, Hendrix said, but that would change if it returned to the bond market. The city has not yet drawn all of the bonds available; about $50 million remains. The projected cost of building the road and other improvements for Turley has continued to increase, especially after the city learned the state did not include new turn lanes and other work on Highway 66 in its budget for widening the highway in that area. If the city can’t use the CBID funding, that only leaves the general fund or the city’s reserves as possible outlets for the city to pay for the project. Ironically, the city couldn’t expect to see a quick return of those funds to either account, because so much of the Dumplin Creek property is in the CBID. The state calls for all sales tax funds from inside the district be used to repay the CBID bonds first. They can’t be taken out to refill the city’s coffers. Alderman Jerry Loveday indicated that’s not a gamble

to look at the best way to address its needs. “I don’t know if it’s (Exit) 406 or 408, I’m not into that,� he said. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s Dumplin Creek or otherwise. We’ve got an ingress/egress problem.� However, he noted that Turley has told them his development can help the city obtain a $2 million grant that would help defray the costs of building his new road, which the city in turn could use to show the new interchange would connect to a state highway. Some estimates on the cost of meeting the requirements for meeting the requirements for a new interchange have run as high as $30 million. Dumplin Creek wasn’t part of the discussions when the city first planned the CBID, he said, and he believes the city should try to make a case that it now should be eligible for CBID funding. He termed the city’s situation “very bleak,� an assessment that Hendrix Atchley disputed. Atchley noted the city’s motel tax revenues are growing despite the economy, and the Events Center has attracted groups that brought thousands of new visitors to Sevierville. The discussion of the proposed road will not end with the retreat. Turley has already asked to sit down with staff to review his plans and see how they can work together. “I encourage staff to keep meeting with John,� Atchley said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Officials: Job cuts would hurt forests NASHVILLE (AP) — Axing forestry jobs due to budget constraints would seriously hamper Tennessee’s ability to protect the forests that cover half the state, officials warned Tuesday. Bill Williams, chairman of the Tennessee Forestry Commission, told the Senate Environment Committee that the 28 forester and specialist positions facing elimination reflect years of training and expertise that will be difficult to replace. “It takes people to do the job — you can’t do

it with your cell phone,” Williams said. The forestry jobs are among 200 positions Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen has targeted for elimination if lawmakers don’t approve about $50 million in new taxes on cable television and on dividends from real estate investment trusts. The jobs facing cuts would include prosecutors, public defenders and probation and parole officers. Republicans, who hold majorities in both chambers, have indicated they

will vote against the cable tax. Meanwhile, the GOP-controlled Senate Environment Committee on Tuesday unanimously advanced a five-year renewal of a $5.4-millionper-year tax on beer and other bottled drinks that helps pay for litter cleanup. Currently the first $15 of a cable bill is tax exempt. The governor has said the state has been hit with a “very reasonable lawsuit” from the satellite industry because it does not qualify for a similar tax break.

Bredesen has pegged the average cable bill increase if the tax measure goes into effect at about $1.35. Twenty-three of the jobs cuts would be made among area foresters who work with private landowners, said John Ross, the vice chairman of the Forestry Commission. “I’m quite alarmed from a landowner standpoint,” Ross said. “These are the people in the field who give advice to landowners, who check on logging operations, who get reports for water quality violations.”

Jackson doctor

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson’s doctor returns to court in April to find out the date for the next major step in the case — a proceeding that will reveal for the first time the evidence the prosecution believes Murray will show his “gross negligence” was the direct cause of the pop star’s death. Dr. Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and a judge released him on $75,000 bail. Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz ordered Murray to turn in his passport and said he could travel within the U.S., but not to any foreign country. The prosecutor had suggested he might flee to his native Grenada or to Trinidad where he has a child. Murray was ordered to return April 5 to have another date set for his preliminary hearing. That proceeding, a virtual minitrial, will disclose the evidence prosecutors maintain will demonstrate Murray’s “gross negligence.”

commentary

Unspoken truth: Taxes are going up Bruce Bartlett earned his tax-cutting cred working with the late Jack Kemp, who in 1978 as a Republican congressman in a Democratic House, put a smiling face on American conservatism and his KempRoth tax-cut plan squarely on the national agenda. Ronald Reagan, in his winning 1980 presidential campaign, adopted the Kemp tax cuts, made them the centerpiece of his White House economic plan and, in his second term, named Bruce Bartlett to a post in his Treasury Department. Today, following eight years of a taxcutting Republican president under whom the federal government annually spent an average of 20 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product while collecting just 17 percent annually of the GDP in taxes, the nation is drowning in debt. Bartlett now argues that tax increases are necessary and inevitable. But, Bartlett told David Futrelle of Money Magazine: “Conservatives view all tax increases as equally bad — they’d rather default on the (national) debt than raise taxes. But there are better and worse ways of raising taxes.” He’s right. It’s OK for a Republican to be pro-choice on abortion or even a supporter of equal rights for gays. But the contemporary Republican who wants to raise taxes — whether to feed the starving orphans and widows or build the new neighborhood school — risks a judgment of heresy and banishment to the forced, lonely exile reserved for “Liberal Republicans.” The nation’s fiscal crisis is real. The United States’ projected budget deficit for the next fiscal year is $1.6 trillion. How does that compare with other countries? Well, consider that the U.S. annual deficit is larger than the entire budgets of all the nations in the world except Germany and Japan! The unspoken but unavoidable truth is that the U.S. budget can only be brought into rough balance through a combination of both cuts in federal entitlement spending — that’s right, Social Security and Medicare — combined with across-the-board tax increases. Liberals recoil at the prospect of entitlement cuts as apoplectically as conservatives do at the mention of tax hikes. But in the words of boxing great Joe Louis, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” Across-the-board tax increases have been devoutly avoided for almost a generation in Washington. It was 1993 and the first year of Bill Clinton’s presidency when, facing the nation’s up-to-then-largest budget deficits, Democrats in Congress — without the support of even a single House or Senate Republican — voted to add a 4.3 cents per gallon increase to the tax on gasoline and raise the income tax on the highest-earners. In fact, there are still serving today just 71 U.S. House members and 27 U.S. senators who ever dared to vote for a general increase in federal taxes. In the last 41 years, the U.S. federal budget has been balanced only twice — both when Bill Clinton was in the White House. But wasn’t it the House Republicans who forced the budget discipline on that Democratic administration? Not exactly. We saw what Republicans could do when they controlled both the House and the White House during the first six years of the George W. Bush administration. Working together, they made history by loading on an additional $1.5 trillion of debt — more red ink than this nation accumulated in fighting two World Wars, the Great Depression, Korea and Vietnam. And, sorry, tax cuts are not the silver bullet to solvency. That bubble was burst by reality and Edward Lazear, the chairman of President George W. Bush’s council of economic advisors, who stated in congressional testimony, “I clearly would not claim that tax cuts pay for themselves.” Let’s be candid here. One reason why the Obama administration now supports a deficit-reduction commission to recommend the unpopular mix of across-the-board tax increases and entitlement cuts is that this might let President Obama off the hook from his unrealistic campaign promise not to raise taxes on anybody earning less than $250,000 a year. Does anybody else remember “Read my lips?” Taxes are going up. It’s the unspoken, but unavoidable truth. — Mark Shields is a veteran political campaign manager and frequent television talk show commentator. Column distributed by Creators Syndicate.

Editorial

When it’s OK to retreat BOMA’s three-day getaway session serves city, taxpayers well It’s a good idea for elected officials to get away from meetings and familiar surroundings once in a while and just talk about issues they face. The Sevierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen has done that for several years. Other governing boards also do it. Not everything can be settled or properly and thoroughly discussed in a regular meeting or pre-meeting. And when planning the agenda for the year, it’s a good idea to spend some time exploring critical issues facing a city or county. To its credit, BOMA has elected not to go out of town and spend thousands of dollars on hotels and meals, as it used to do. Not long ago BOMA held its retreat in Northeast Tennessee, ostensibly to get away from distractions. But all the aldermen and city officials did was run up a big bill paid for by taxpayers and discuss things that could easily have been discussed closer to home.

This year, like last year, the city has elected to get away, but do so right here. The three-day retreat is taking place in Kodak, both at Smokies Park and Bass Pro Shops. All of the sessions remain open to the public and accessible to anyone wanting to sit in. The agenda was provided to the press, and no one is shooed out the door to discuss sensitive matters. There are time limits, but a loose structure that allows extended debate and discussion when it’s called for. And no official decisions can be made. BOMA has a lot of critical issues to get to this year, including whether to pay $8.5 million to help developer John Turley build a road to serve his planned shopping project, called Dumplin Creek. But the city also has to decide water issues, including a running dispute with the county over water service; and where and when to add fire stations to the city. Financial matters always get addressed at these meetings,

and in tough times cities, counties and other government entities have to determine what they need to do, what can hold and what can or should be cut. Discussing these matters at a retreat is a good way to air out things, let everyone be heard and set the table for the year ahead. It’s all done in the sunshine, so to speak, and all on the record. And the city is doing all this without leaving the county. They are sleeping in their own beds and paying only for meals. That’s being good stewards of the taxpayers’ money. Not everything will get resolved, of course, and issues not even expected may and likely will come up over the course of 2010. Government, like athletics, is unpredictable. But at least city officials will be able to plan their year, reach consensus on some if not all critical issues, and be ready for the big stuff when it shows itself over the next 11 months.

PIGEON FORGE —With the District 3-AA tournament starting in 10 days, the leagues coaches have announced their superlatives for the season. Not surprisingly, Lady Tigers coach Paul Reagan won his second coach of the year honor in as many seasons at the helm of the Orange and Black. Reagan and his Pigeon Forge girls are 19-3 on the

season and have already captured the 3-AA regular season title, after a 23-9 season and district title last year. Joining their coach by earning All-District honors were senior point guard Danielle Rauhuff and junior sharpshooter Kelsey Brooks.

Bryan was a strong inside presence for the G-P squad this year, with her scoring, rebounding and defense. Several local girls were also awarded for their fine play with honorable mentions to the All-District team. Pigeon Forge freshman scorer Cassidy Martin received a nod, as did fellow freshman and G-P point guard Karsen Sims. Also getting attention for the Lady Highlanders were Beka Owens and Morgan Dodgen. On the boys side of things Gatlinburg-Pittman big man Jose Agosto and senior sniper McKinley Maples were both selected for the All-District team as a reward for their lifting the team to a 20-4 record this season. Agosto has proved he can score from all over the court with surprising touch for a big man, while Maples has given the team the leadership and secondary scoring weapon they need. Mo Barber was given an honorable mention nod, as were Pigeon Forge players Justin Carter and Ben Cave, the top two scoring threats for the Tigers.

Lady Tigers rebound from 3rd loss with big win over Cosby By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Vols fall hard to Vandy

Frederick Breedon/AP

Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl yells instructions to his team in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Vanderbilt in Nashville on Tuesday. The Vols fell to the Commodores 90-71 and trailed by as many as 27 in the second half. Jeffery Taylor and Jermaine Beal combined for 47 points in the game for Vandy, and the team shot an amazing 37-of-43 from the charity stripe, compared to 13-of-21 for the Vols. J.P Prince led the Volunteers with 19 points, followed by Wayne Chism with 16.

Pi Beta advances in tourney SEVIERVILLE — The Pi Beta Phi hoops teams passed their first sectional tournament tests with flying colors last Friday. Coach Mike Tinker’s boys and girls squads both won their quarterfinal matchups, as the Lady Mountaineers topped Rockwood 35-27 and the Mountaineers edged Coalfield 34-30 in doubleovertime despite missing their leading scorer. With Clay Leatherwood

out due to a knee injury, Trevor Jain stepped up and took the lead for Pi Beta, netting a team-high 17 points. Spencer Brien also had a huge game for the Mountaineers with seven points and a whopping 18 rebounds. Tanner Cox and Chad Ayers added four points each, and Will King scored two. In the girls game Micki Warner and Alicia Sumeriski were both in double-figures, with 12 and

10, respectively. Macee Tinker and Courtney Malone added six each, and Marah Herrell netted one. The girls will play their semifinal game versus Hampton Elementary on Friday at 5:45 at Catlettsburg Elementary School, while the boys semifinal will be against Holston Middle School of Sullivan County at 8:15. From submitted reports

PIGEON FORGE - The Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers rebounded from Monday night’s loss at Sevier County with a 53-39 win over the visiting Cosby Lady Eagles on Tuesday night. The Orange and Black (19-4) took off with a 14-2 run to start the contest, but as would be the case all night, the Lady Eagles (16-4) came soaring back to make it a game. “We started out a lot better than we did Monday night at Sevier County,” said Pigeon Forge coach Paul Reagan. “But we still went through spurts where we just kind of let up again. “I give Cosby credit, because they have a very good single-A team. But we still didn’t push the tempo like I wanted to, and we’ve got to play better for four quarters.” Cosby went on a 9-0 spurt to close it to 14-11 late in the first, but Pigeon Forge senior Danielle Rauhuff sniped a trey with just 7 seconds in the opener to make it 17-11 Lady Tigers heading into the second. Pigeon Forge senior Emily Hurst made it a double-digit game again with a drive to the basket with 3:11 until intermission, making it a 24-14 game. But the Lady Eagles again responded and cut it to 26-25 with 30.6 seconds in the half. Pigeon Forge maintained a small 35-34 lead at the 1:12 mark of the third quarter, but Lady Tigers junior Kelsey Brooks - who led all scorers with 18 points in the game got hot from three land and

Pigeon Forge senior Emily Hurst drives to the basket and makes it a 10-point game, 24-14, late in the second quarter during Tuesday night’s game against the visiting Cosby Lady Eagles. Pigeon Forge managed a six-point 41-35 edge heading into the fourth. Rauhuff made it a 10-point game again, 47-37, with 2:47 in the fourth with a charity shot, and this time there would be no Lady Eagle comeback as the Lady Tigers pulled away for the 14-point win down the stretch. Tuesday’s game was the fourth in five days for the Lady Tigers, but the Orangeand-Black girls didn’t show any fatigue down the stretch against Cosby.

“I thought we had some legs,” said Reagan. “And I was proud of how we played in the second half. I thought we weathered Cosby’s storm, and we came out in the second half aggressive and wanting to win.” Pigeon Forge junior Ashlyn Trotter was the other Lady Tiger in double digits with 10 points, Rauhuff had eight, Ashley “Wojo” Wojnowski six, Courtney Ball five, Hurst four, and Briley Shinliver and Mindy Brackins a charity shot apiece in the winning effort.

U.S. government, snow continue By JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — If snow keeps 230,000 government employees home for the better part of a week, will anyone notice? With at least another foot of snow headed for Washington, Philadelphia and New York, we’re about to find out. The federal government in the nation’s capital has largely been shut down since Friday afternoon, when a storm began dumping up to 3 feet of snow in some parts of the region. Offices could remain closed at least through Wednesday. So far, the effects have been negligible. Many essential government services are performed at offices around the country, and about 85 percent of federal employees work outside the Washington region anyway. Others were working from home despite the snow. An IRS spokeswoman said tax returns should not be affected. “Anything that is critical is going to get done,� said Linda Springer, a former director of the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal work force of nearly 2 million workers. David Fiore, who works for the federal government’s Export-Import Bank of the U.S., stocked up on groceries Tuesday in Washington and said he planned to do some work from home, including a 2 p.m. conference call. “They’re open in Turkey. I’m getting e-mails from

Snow almost covers some of the headstones at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., outside of Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Morocco,� he said. “The work goes on.� Philadelphia and Washington needed just 9 more inches of snow each to log the snowiest winters since at least 1884, the first year records were kept. Even before the storm arrived in the District of Columbia, the House announced it was scrapping the rest of its workweek. Several hearings and meetings were postponed, including one planned for Wednesday on Toyota’s massive recalls. Agencies from the Federal Communications Commission to the Federal Trade Commission canceled hearings and planned announcements because of the looming snow. Shuttering the agencies for a day costs the government an estimated $100 million in lost productivity and related costs. Down Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House decided to move up by a day a Black History Month

concert featuring Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson and Natalie Cole. It had been slated for Wednesday, but was instead moved to Tuesday night. President Barack Obama held a bipartisan meeting with congressional leaders ahead of the storm Tuesday and joked that it went so well that Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had gone out to play in the snow. “In fact, I understand that McConnell and Reid are out doing snow angels on

the South Lawn together,� Obama joked as he made an unannounced stop in the White House briefing room. The snow started in the Midwest before moving into the Mid-Atlantic region, where utility workers struggled to restore power already knocked out by a weekend blizzard. Schools were closed and commuters found slick, slushy roads from Minneapolis and Chicago to Louisville, Ky. Hundreds of flights were canceled in Chicago as the storm moved across Illinois, where up to 10 inches were forecast. Powerful winds and snow were expected to hit MidAtlantic states by the afternoon, potentially dropping as much as 20 more inches on Washington and 18 inches near Philadelphia by Wednesday night. New York City announced schools would have a rare snow day Wednesday, only the third in six years. Southwest Airlines and US Airways planned to halt flights out of Philadelphia at 8 p.m. Tuesday, and Washington’s airports expected flights to stop around 5 p.m.

Advice

‘Demon Spawn’ dividing family

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am the only boy in my family. I have one older and two younger sisters. One of my sisters has a daughter (my niece), whom I will call “Demon Spawn” to protect the innocent. Demon Spawn has always lived up to her name. When she was very young, she would torment my two sons until they became so fed up that they would defend themselves, which always got them into trouble, much to her delight. She would verbally torment and abuse my wife at family gatherings after I left the room. I once stayed near the doorway and heard it all. I exploded in anger, but she was forgiven, as always, because she had a “rough life growing up.” That’s a lot of baloney. She once had my mother co-sign for furniture that mom ended up paying for, not to mention the time she stole money and a credit card from my mother’s purse. Eventually, Demon Spawn had two kids, but she never married. She went on welfare, gave up her kids, got into meth and ended up in prison. Just before she was released, I told my mother that I refuse to be in the same house with her, especially with my two young grandchildren present. Well, Demon Spawn managed to convince my mother to let her back into the family, claiming she’s changed. I don’t believe it for one minute. My wife and I and my son and grandkids didn’t attend our family Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner because she was present. It appears that my mother, knowing how I feel, has picked Demon

Spawn over her only son. This girl is pure evil, and I want no part of her. How do I get my mother to see the light? -- Hurt Dear Hurt: When you issue ultimatums, you must be willing to accept the consequences. Mom undoubtedly believes you will be OK without her because you have a family support structure of your own. Your niece, however, has no one to help her. She may be a total mess, but your mother still cares about her. We hope Ms. Spawn actually has changed, but if not, please don’t make your mother more miserable than she’s going to be. Dear Annie: When you spend your vacation staying with friends at their home, what is the proper etiquette regarding taking them out for dinner, buying groceries, paying admission to area attractions, etc.? When friends or family stay with us, we try to have food on hand that they like, and we often treat them to restaurant meals and tickets and admission fees. After all, they spent a good amount of money traveling to see us. We love our guests, enjoy their visits and want them to have a good time, but it can get expensive. What are the guidelines? -- Happy Host With a Sad Pocketbook Dear Host: You should provide your guests with meals at

t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

Garfield

For Better Or Worse

home, or supply food to which they can help themselves. Considerate guests who stay for a weekend or longer should treat their hosts to at least one meal (or groceries or some form of entertainment). You are not obligated to buy tickets or admission fees. Nor do you need to rearrange your schedule and drive them around unless you want to. Guests should enjoy visiting with you, and you should not go broke having them. Dear Annie: You’ve mentioned how important it is for people to have a current will. A friend of mine recently passed away. He was a smart guy and had all of his affairs in order. But his computer had a password, as did his e-mail, business contacts, financial records and social networking sites. There were quite a few people his family couldn’t contact because they didn’t know the password. In addition to the will and arrangements, please tell your readers to leave a record of their electronic information with a family member or an attorney. -- Concerned in Canada Dear Canada: Excellent and timely information.
