Jessica Sherwood, a national park ranger from Alaska, teaches a class on the use of a Bambi Bucket to release water for fighting forest fires.

Representatives from southeastern agencies, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; Department of Defense; Bureau of Indian Affairs; Forestry; and Fish & Wildlife agents took part in the four-day firefighting course. The classes were at the airport Thursday as participants learned working with helicopters in dropping water and supplies.

PIGEON FORGE — Drivers using the Spur today may encounter some delays as crews work to shore up issues with the detour around last month’s rockslide as work starts to repair that mountainside.

Crews from a pair of the companies working with Charles Blalock & Sons Construction, which has the emergency contract to oversee the project, will be fixing the barriers separating the north- and southbound traffic through the detour. As that effort goes on, the first work will be done to rehabilitate the slide area.

The effort was set to begin this morning and will likely require complete stoppage of traffic in alternating directions to allow the crews to get their jobs done. While that may seem inconvenient, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) officials managing the work said in a preconstruction meeting Thursday it will save some major headaches down the road.

“We need to be out of there by 3 p.m. or, hopefully, earlier. Otherwise, we may be looking at some real issues with a holiday weekend,” TDOT Project Supervisor Kristin Qualls told the group of contractors and other stakeholders. “The first thing we need to look at is getting that detour safe.”

Alan Sumeriski, chief of facilities with Great Smoky Mountains National Park, expressed concerns about the state of the detour as it stands now. He noted many of the traffic-separating poles that have been installed to delineate the lanes through the 1.2 mile detour have been knocked out of or otherwise left their posts.

“Those cones are flying all over the place,” Sumeriski said. “We need to be sure they’re secured. It’s a holiday weekend and those things are going to be flying all over.”

CROSS shows thanks to pastors at luncheon

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEYMOUR — It was fitting that the CROSS Appreciation Luncheon, which welcomed pastors of churches involved in the organization, was held at Seymour United Methodist Church on Tuesday.

“This is the very church that started CROSS,” said CROSS President Dottie Sollman. “I didn’t know that when I made arrangements to have the lunch here.”

CROSS — Christians Reaching Out Serving Seymour — is a nonprofit corporation established by

local churches. Operated solely by volunteers, the ministry provides food boxes and financial help with fuel, utilities, emergency auto repair and limited medications when finances are available.

“We started out with five churches, and here we are with 18,” Sollman said. “It’s impressive to not only survive but to thrive for 23 years. I’m here to tell you today that God has filled me with an excitement for CROSS. We’ve been getting calls almost daily from people wanting to volunteer. I think God wants to change Seymour — I’m just a vessel.”

Sollman said she was con-

cerned that while CROSS had been feeding people physically, it had failed at feeding people spiritually.

“We’re missing the boat,” she said. “You would be surprised at how many people we feed that don’t even go to church.”

Dean Hempel, CROSS chairman of the board, said he and other members get asked often, “What is CROSS?” “We have different gifts, and we bring Christians together to serve those who are less fortunate,” he said. “The churches realized that when they pooled their resources, they were much stronger — and through Christ, we know that all

things are possible.

“We want to thank everyone,” Hempel told lunch attendees, “because you are CROSS.” Bruce Anderson, Knoxville Area Rescue Ministries director of church relations, recalled when he had “an abundance” of turkeys at Thanksgiving and called Sollman to share the wealth.

“You have a great resource,” Anderson told CROSS members.

“By everybody coming together, you’re sharing the vision of what the kingdom of Seymour could be like.”

Minimum security detention facility prepares to expand

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Sheriff’s Department is getting ready to expand its minimum security detention facility, less than two years after opening.

The new facility added capacity to incarcerate.

Before its construction, the county jail was regularly overcrowded far past its capacity of 214 prisoners. As the minimum security facility prepared to open in April 2008, Sheriff Ron Seals said the jail had housed as many as 425 people.

The building on Old Knoxville Highway, had beds for 168 when it opened.

It also had an additional dorm that was already

constructed and ready for expansion, and Deputy Chief Larry McMahan said they have obtained the funds to furnish and open that dorm.

“When the county figured there was enough money left in this years’ budget, they added it to the schedule,” he said.

Adding a new wing will make it easier to separate violent offenders from others in the minimum security jail, he said. The new dorm, like the others, is open, with bunk beds for inmates, televisions that are controlled by the staff, phones and other features.

They will hire four new corrections officers to staff the expansion, he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Many states represented at Santa fest

Pirates Ball on March 11 helps keep Mountain Hope finances ship shape

Newton updates Sunrise Rotary

Ripley’s Aquarium to host annual event

From Submitted Reports GATLINBURG — More then 30 states, three provinces in Canada, and Australia are sending people to the Celebrate Santa Festival.

The festival runs March 13-17.

The kickoff is the Holly and Shamrock Parade that will be held on March 13.

Many states will have their own floats, and many more will be marching in groups under their state banner.

Awards and trophies will be given out to top entries.

Some of the state groups are using nicknames, such as the “Palm Tree Santas,� “Peach Tree Santas,� “Lone Star Santas� and “Buckeye Santas.� These Santa groups can number from a few to over a hundred.

The Palm Tree Santas from Florida will have two floats, an antique fire engine and more.

Tennessee and its “Volunteer Santas� have over 90 members, with more then a third coming to the event. “This is becoming one of the bigger spring events in the Southeast,� said Joe Moore of Seymour, co-coordinator of Celebrate Santa, “Last year we had a handful of state groups organized this year we have a great deal more.�

There is also Clan Claus, a kilt-wearing group that has registered its own tartan. The Charles Howard Alumni Groups represents one of the more famous schools for Santas.

There will be a special Santa and Mrs. Claus fashion show, featuring costumes from different time periods and cultures, on March 16.

“This is absolutely essential for keeping things going here throughout the year. We really appreciate everyone coming out year after year and we

By DEREK HODGES especially appreciate Ripley’s for putting this on.

Seymour resident on ‘Singing Bee’ tonight Staff report SEYMOUR — Sevier County residents can cheer on a hometown girl tonight if they tune in to “The Singing Bee� on CMT. Ashley Marsh of Seymour will be one of the six contestants on the karaoke sing-along game show when it airs at 9 p.m. Marsh is a personality on WIVK, but she went to audition on her own. “I went to an audition in Nashville just for fun.� “I like to sing karaoke,� she added. “I don’t sing it very well. That’s the motto of the show: ‘You don’t have to sing very well you just have to sing it right.’�

A few weeks that, she was called to fly out to Los Angeles to compete on the show.

She can’t reveal the outcome; people will have to tune in at home to find out, or go to the watch party at Big Mama’s Karaoke Cafe in Seymour. “We want to try to get as many people as possible to get out and watch.�

popular local fundraiser is ready to set sail March 11 as pirates once again take over Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies in the name of helping provide medical care for those who might not be able to afford it under normal circumstances.

This is the fifth year for Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic’s annual Pirates Ball, which helps raise money for the lowand no-cost health care facility. The event is the largest fund draw of the year for Mountain Hope, which relies on such private contributions to offer its services. “This is absolutely essential for keeping things going here throughout the year,� clinic Development Director Elaine Miller says. “We really appreciate everyone coming out year after year and we especially appreciate Ripley’s for putting this on. They like what Mountain Hope does and they want to support it.�

Of course, the evening isn’t just about fundraising — it’s also about having a good time, Miller says.

That’s why this year, as in all five past, those who attend are being invited to dress appropriately for a dance themed around the scurvy dogs of the open sea, though this year there’s a new twist. “People can come as their best pirate or wench. Of course, you don’t have to dress up at all, but it really adds to

the fun if you do,� Miller says. “Going along with the theme of Ripley’s new expansion, we would not turn away anybody who wants to come dressed as a penguin, either.�

The aquarium recently announced it will be adding an exhibit of African Black-footed penguins to its displays.

With some history behind it now, the event has proven to be a popular one and one that clinic officials say gets better each time. “I think it is more fun every year,� Executive Director Mary Vance says. “People really get excited about it. What I really appreciate is the support they give the clinic and how excited they get to put on the event. That is just such a great venue and we’re so lucky to have a partner like Ripley’s that will let us use it.�

The aquarium has been a partner with the clinic in the event for its entire history, appropriately starting it at a time when it was hosting a temporary exhibit on pirates.

Not only are the aquarium’s doors opened for the festivities, the business also provides a number of other perks for those who attend, including a dance floor and finger foods. “It is such a unique opportunity to have an event like this in a facility like that. There aren’t too many places in the nation where you have an opportunity like that,� Vance says.

Tickets for the event are $60 per person, but $50 each if bought in combinations of two or more. For more information or to buy tickets, call the clinic at 774-7684. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Ex-President Clinton has heart procedure NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former President Bill Clinton had two stents inserted in one of his heart arteries after being hospitalized with chest pains, an adviser said Thursday. Clinton, 63, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is in good spirits and will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relief and long-term recovery efforts,â&#x20AC;? said adviser Douglas Band.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton left Washington and headed to New York to be with her husband, who underwent the procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Stents are tiny mesh scaffolds used to prop open an artery after it is unclogged in an angioplasty procedure.

Doctors thread a tube through a blood vessel in the groin to a blocked artery, inflate a balloon to flatten the clog, and slide the stent into place.

That is a different treatment from what Clinton had in 2004, when clogged arteries first landed him in the hospital. He underwent quadruple bypass surgery because of four blocked arteries, some of which had squeezed almost completely shut.

Angioplasty, which usually includes placing stents, is one of the most common medical procedures done worldwide. More than half a million stents are placed each year in the United States.

More than 60 dead cows found in Bedford County SHELBYVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bedford County Sheriff Randall Boyce says more than 60 cows have been found dead on one piece of property.

Authorities expect to charge a Wartrace man with aggravated animal cruelty and improperly disposing of dead animals.

The sheriff said he believes

more cows will die.

Boyce said that authorities in Coffee County informed his office about dead cattle in their jurisdiction and wondered if Bedford County had a similar case.

Boyce told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette that many of the cows appeared starved on the 3,000 acres of property.

Cold-weather states lose heating aid to the South PORTLAND, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The recent cold snap in the Deep South has sucked federal emergency home heating dollars away from traditional cold-weather states, causing heating aid to dry up faster than usual in many northern states.

The South was the beneficiary last month when the Obama administration released $490 million in emergency heating funds, using a formula that took into account colder-thannormal temperatures and, for the first time, unemployment levels. Both factors favored the South, so Sun Belt states reaped the biggest gains.

Compared to last year, Maine saw a drop in emergency aid of 81 percent, followed by Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80 percent and New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 78 percent.

Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was down 62 percent, Minnesota 28 percent.

By contrast, emergency funding more than tripled for Florida and Georgia, and more than doubled in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, according to the Northeast-Midwest Senate Coalition. Even Puerto Rico picked up $540,000 under the formula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got royally screwed,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Searles, an advocate for low-income residents in Vermont, a state where the temperature has dipped as low as 26 degrees below zero this winter.

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which is expected to serve a record number of families this year, distributed $4.5 billion to all 50 states in base funding.

Additional emergency funding is released at the discretion of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, funds used by northern states to stretch out the heating assistance for extra

weeks during lingering cold weather. The agency released $490 million of $590 million in emergency funds on Jan. 20.

Average fuel costs are down this winter, but the heating aid is still stretched thin because so many people have lost their jobs. The program served a record 8.3 million families last season; this season the number will be 20 to 30 percent higher, according to the National Energy Assistance Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real problem is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money to meet the needs for assistance right now,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Wolfe, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director in Washington, D.C. The bottom line for northern states is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting fewer dollars, even though heating costs take a bigger bite out of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pocket books.

The average cost of heating a home with natural gas in the South is $740, the government says, while it can cost $2,500 to $3,500 using heating oil in Maine.

Already, lawmakers from northern states are lobbying for the remaining $100 million in emergency funding. The National Energy Assistance Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association wants a supplemental appropriation to help families get through the remainder of the winter. The Coalition of Northeastern Governors is pressing for more money, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a tough winter and they have a lot of people out of work,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, referring to Southern states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have a tough winter every year and we have a lot of people out of work. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the money from Maine because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be desperate without it.â&#x20AC;?

detour

3From Page A1

Like Qualls, Sumeriski worried about what the impact might be of the workers closing the lanes today, but pointed out the work needs to be done before the potentially heavy holiday weekend traffic.

Crews from Superior Traffic Control will be out today essentially nailing those delineators to the pavement, replacing a friction pad being used to hold them in place. At the same time, a crew from another subcontractor will be doing some painting to ensure the outer lines marking the lanes are clear.

Since both northbound and southbound vehicles are currently sharing the two northbound lanes through the detour area, workers previously put white paint over the yellow line that marks the edge of the pavement next to the river.

That covering has since started chipping off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; likely because of the type of paint the park uses to stripe the lanes of the Spur â&#x20AC;&#x201D; revealing the yellow line below it, Sumeriski said.

Qualls pointed out TDOT regulations require the righthand line be white, not yellow. To make that fix, crews will scrape off the existing paint, both white and yellow, today, laying down new paint immediately after. That work is expected to take place concurrently with the effort to fix the detour markers.

As those efforts progress, crews will be on the southbound side of the road beginning the process of stabilizing the slide area. That will be a big job because the slope above is very steep, rising one foot for every foot of dirt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There still could be anothChapter 7 â&#x20AC;˘

er slide,â&#x20AC;? Qualls warned the workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an unstable slope. We all have to use caution when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there.â&#x20AC;?

The first step in the process, before the debris from the slide is actually even removed, will be installing a series of 20-foot-long metal bolts into the rock face, an effort meant to reinforce it and prevent further slides. That should secure the hillside for the debris removal and further stabilization efforts.

Blalock is required to finish that first phase of the project and reopen the southbound lanes completely by March 12, with an incentive of $5,000 per day offered if it opens them earlier. Meanwhile, the contractor will be charged $5,000 for each day the lanes remain closed following that date.

While the road will be reopened then, there may still be some temporary lane closures as work to install a concrete retaining wall proceeds. However, the contract also stipulates that all the lanes must remain open each weekend from Friday through Sunday. Closures during those days will cost $1,000 per hour, Qualls said.

That retaining wall is set to be given a tinting or pigmentation that will help it mesh a bit better with the natural surroundings. Similar pigmentation is used on most of the concrete barriers, such as on bridges, throughout the Spur.

The contract also calls for some minor repaving work in the area of the slide to repair any damage the debris or the heavy equipment might have done.

Altogether, both phases of the project are expected to cost $713,909 and be completed by the end of April, Qualls said. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Details emerge on alleged shooter KNOXVILLE (AP) — School officials investigated an East Tennessee elementary school teacher after receiving allegations that he was mentally unstable, but decided he was not an imminent threat months before he was accused of shooting and wounding the principal and assistant principal.

Knox County Schools Superintendent James McIntyre Jr. said Thursday that Inskip Elementary School teacher 48-yearold Mark Stephen Foster,

of Clinton, had been told on Wednesday, prior to the shooting, that his contract was not being renewed.

McIntyre said the decision was made by Principal Elisa Luna and he couldn’t say what prompted her decision to let him go. Police said Luna along with Assistant Principal Amy Brace were shot multiple times each in the school by Foster about an hour after classes were dismissed early for snow.

Foster is being held on a $1 million bond. Luna

was in critical condition on Thursday morning and Brace was in stable condition as of Wednesday evening. He had been reported to police for threatening others in the past.

Because of limited involvement by the courts, the complaints likely did not show up in a background check required by the state of Tennessee for employment as a teacher.

Police have charged Fosterwith two counts of attempted first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a gun on school

property after the shooting.

According to Knox County Criminal Court records from Foster’s Thursday arraignment by video, Foster “lured the victims Elisa Luna and Amy Brace into the principal’s office,” where Luna, the principal, and Brace, the assistant principal, were both shot multiple times.

University of Tennessee Medical Center officials said Thursday morning that Luna remained in critical condition.

The actress, representing the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, flew by helicopter to the southern city of Jacmel where she visited a camp for Haitians made homeless. Some 500,000 people are living in camps around the country since the Jan. 12 earthquake.

She also visited a school destroyed by the quake.

commentary

Tea Partyers catering to older people My favorite Tea Party guy is Merle Firestone from Rainbow, Miss., who left home at 4 a.m. last Saturday to drive to Nashville.

He left a note on the coffeepot for his wife saying he wanted to hear Sarah Palin at the “National Convention” of the “Tea Party.” He could not afford a $300 ticket to get into the auditorium at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, but he thought he might get a glimpse of the former Alaska governor.

He didn’t see her, but he did get to hang around the hotel and met a lot of other interesting folk, including a Los Angeles Times reporter, Kathleen Hennessy, who asked him what he liked about Palin. He said he was a bow-hunter, and he particularly liked her support for the sport. Well, that touched me because my father was a bow-hunter, too, though I don’t remember it affecting his politics. I don’t know how many there are now, but more power to them.

Firestone fit the profile: 72 years old, white, a Southerner and a retired smallbusiness man worried about the damned recession.

Palin, it seems, was worth her fee, $100,000 or whatever it was. Bit of a secret there. But Tea Partyers are not against a girl making an honest dollar, particularly when she’s willing to die for them.

She put it this way: “I am happy, honored, proud to take any speaking fee and turn it right back around for the cause. It is about the people. I will live, I will die for the people of America.”

Now there’s a real American thought.

Palin is fun — a regular Aimee Semple McPherson, if anyone remembers the sexy evangelist from California at its most unhinged.

Or to update things a bit, Palin is a regular Ross Perot — a rich guy who in his own garbled way voiced the frustrations of vanishing Americans. And the Tea Party looks like that kind of populism, a happy haven for angry vanishing Americans. It provides a place and voice for bow-hunters and such, who see their lives and their way of life threatened by all these new things, these new people.

Although the partyers’ obvious target is President Obama, and they are doing him real damage, the whole thing strikes me as more demographic than political.

Republican politicians will try to take advantage of the energy of the movement because they share the anti-Obama agenda, but they had better be careful because true partyers are against everyone in power, including Republicans too comfortable or too understanding of the new things and the new America.

The Tea Party’s real strength is that people are living longer and no one is sure what to do about that. There are simply more old people. To put it bluntly: They want their kind of health care, with government money but without government regulation, and they don’t much care anymore about paying local taxes for the education of other people’s children, particularly if those other people are darker or speak with accents.

It is convenient that the fears and frustrations of the fading white majority happen to coincide with the difficult tenure of the first black president. (The same could be said of the visibilty of the new scut workers from Latin America and Asia.)

Racism you will always have with you, but that is not the fundamental cause, or even a fundamental cause, for their obvious hatred of that man in the White House.

The state of the economy is more important right now than the race of the president giving the State of the Union address.

The same demographic forces would be there if the president were white or a woman or both.

There is no role now in the society for many of these people. Their work is not needed, so they are turning to the power of their numbers and of their citizenship. Tea Partyers wave copies of the Constitution around as if (or because) they believe it was written for them. They don’t believe it is for or even can be understood by these new others.

But no matter how well we understand the Constitution, it is obviously still a living document which gives the fading and the fearful the space to shout out their anger in the open.

Editorial

Saluting Seymour Finishing in top 10 out of 6,800 schools is quite an accomplishment Take a bow, you folks in Seymour.

You’ve shown what community spirit and community pride are all about.

You’ve shown what can be accomplished when you get people of all ages, from all walks of life, working together. You joined hand in hand in U.S. Cellular’s Calling All Communities program and were rewarded handsomely for it.

One hundred thousand dollars.

From mid-November until midJanuary, teachers, staff, students, parents and, heck, just members of the community at-large worked together in a campaign to be one of the top 10 schools in America in an online campaign that would be rewarded with money that can be used at each of the schools’ discretion.

Much of the money, school officials have said, will be used for upgrading computers and printers, but it’s likely all areas and all students will receive benefits. And not only the students enrolled now, but those who will follow

after for years to come.

While Seymour High School is the official winner of the jackpot, those organizing the campaign determined early that if they won, the loot would be shared with the community’s primary, intermediate and middle schools.

Without all of the schools working together for the good of the common cause, it’s entirely possible Seymour wouldn’t have won.

It’s not surprising that a segment of Sevier County show this kind pride. It happens time and time again. A recent example was the entire county pulling together to support Miss Ellie, the Fee-Hedrick canine, in her effort to win a national cutest dog competition in hopes of winning $1 million for the Humane Society. Thanks to the community’s support, she did win cutest dog of the week — and $5,000 — but, alas, fell short after becoming one of the dozen finalists.

After SHS Principal Greg Clark informed his school of the contest

and what it could mean financially, the students bought into it wholeheartedly. There were pep rallies, students marching in Christmas parades and creating their own “Calling All Communities” holiday carol and ornaments. There were signs posted in local businesses, flyers stuffed in mailboxes, support enlisted at malls in Knoxville.

One high school senior told of enlisting the aid of an uncle in California, an aunt in Pennsylvania and a brother in Chattanooga. With this kind of effort, is it any wonder that the Seymour community would not be denied?

Now digest this: U.S. Cellular says well over 400,000 votes were cast and that more than 6,800 schools nationwide participated.

Imagine that — 6,800 schools wanted a piece of U.S. Cellular’s milliondollar pie, and Seymour’s community spirit was strong enough to win its share.

Take a bow, Seymour. And next year, let’s come back for an encore.

New hospital has to be visited for it to really be appreciated

Editor: I have seen lots of writings in The Mountain Press along with pictures of the new hospital on Middle Creek Road. I don’t believe anything does it justice until you see it for yourself.

As a former patient at hospitals in Knoxville, Louisville, Ky., and Sevierville, I can say that I don’t believe any hospital I have seen can top our new hospital right here in Sevierville. I took my tour last week.

The building is beautiful. Since it is new, it is very clean, and I expect it to stay that way.

Equipment is state of the art.

I believe all residents of Sevier County can be proud of these facilities. I had two knee surgeries at the older hospital and was very pleased with the doctors, nurses and other staff members there.

I hope I never need to use the new hospital, but if I do, I will feel confident that I will get the best care available, anywhere.

PREP HOOPS, COUNTY RIVALRY EDITION

County hoops rivals collide

SCHS sweeps a pair from G-P

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — Crowd estimates ranged from 2,000 to 3,500 in attendance for Thursday night’s super county rivalry showdown at Sevier County High School, and the home fans celebrating senior night were treated to a sweep over the visiting Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders.

In girls’ action, the Bearettes (9-18) closed the regular season on a high note with a 64-57 win over the Lady Highlanders (8-15).

In the nightcap, the Smoky Bears (23-5) took a 63-58 victory over No.6 Gatlinburg-Pittman (21-5).

Boys’

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

Sevier County’s Josh Johnson breaks an early tie with a jumper against visiting county rival No.6 Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders. Johnson finished the night with just six points but invaluable with his defensive rebounding and pressure down the stretch in a 63-58 Bears win.

The Highlanders found themselves in early foul trouble, putting the Bears in the double bonus before the end of the first quarter.

By intermission, G-P had four players with three fouls apiece.

Sevier County hit just 8-of17 from the charity stripe in the first half, compared to G-P’s 7-of-8, but the Bears still managed a 34-28 edge at the break.

The Highlanders started the third quarter with 6-1 spurt to cut it to 35-34 with 4:16 in the period.

Comebacks all around as Seymour sweeps

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR – Two big fourth quarter comebacks gave the Seymour fans something to cheer about Thursday night, as the Eagles and Lady Eagles both overcame deficits to defeat visiting county Pigeon Forge on Senior night.

The boys had a miraculous 31-point fourth quarter, surpassing their total from the first three quarters, to conquer a 13-point Tiger lead and win 60-49.

The girls team, having trailed for most of the second half, used clutch free throw shooting down the stretch to topple the Orange and Black 55-52.

Trailing 43-30 heading into the final period, the boys team looked beaten.

But the Eagles’ never-saydie attitude shined through in the fourth.

“The kids just had the will. They didn’t want to lose on senior night for these seniors,” coach Brian Jessie said.

Led by his “waterbug crew” the Eagles (7-19) put on swarming defensive pressure in that final stanza that equaled steals and several easy layups.

“My five little guards, they

got us out of a mess against South-Doyle, and I guess I’m dumb for not putting them in earlier – Max Harrell, Logan Jenkins, Alex Lambert, Sam Thomas and Garrett Hillard.

We can extend and get after you a little bit with the quick guards.

“We were going to try to pound it inside, and they did a very good job in the first half of stopping us, and you have to adjust, and I thought the kids adjusted really well.”

The Eagles started the fourth with an amazing 19-0 run to put themselves up 49-43 by the halfway point in the quarter.

During the run several Eagles had big baskets. Tyler Tilson had a huge 3-point play to get it started, and after two Alex Lambert layups and a Logan Jenkins bucket, the team was down just two at 43-41.

Tilson hit a beautiful runner at the 4:47 mark to tie the score at 47-47, and moments later he hit a pair of free throws to give his team their first lead of the game.

A few minutes later a layup from Tilson a pair of other Seymour baskets balooned the lead to eight at 53-45.

Pigeon Forge cut the lead back down to six a couple of possessions later, with bas-

kets from Justin Carter and Ben Cave.

Another Cave basket inside a minute left cut the lead down to five at 54-49, but that was as close as the game would get as Harrell, Hillard and Lambert would hit late free throws to ice the contest.

Tilson led the team’s scoring effort with 17 points.

Skyler Brown was next with 11 points, followed by Alex Lambert with eight, seniors Wes White and Garrett Hillard with seven each, Max Harrell with five, Logan Jenkins with three and Nathan Cassler with two.

Ben Cave was high points for Pigeon Forge with 14, while Justin Carter added 13. Rounding out the scoring for the Tigers were Aaron Justus with nine, Ryan Crowe with six, Benton Tinker, Andy Barnett and Justin Kilgore with two each and Billy Hewitt with one.

The girls’ game had a similar ending to the boys’, although it was closer throughout than the boys’ contest.

The Lady Tigers (19-4) and Lady Eagles (17-9) traded the lead through most game, with the biggest lead coming early on in the fourth.

PREP HOOPS

Both Seymour teams drop 20-point decisions to Cocke County NEWPORT — Tuesday night was a rough night for Seymour Eagles fans.

Both teams were on the losing end of one-sided matchups with IMAC foes Cocke County in Newport.

The Lady Eagles fell 56-36, while the boys’ team dropped their matchup with the Fighting Cocks 75-55.

In both cases, otherwise close games were blown open in the third quarter.

The Lady Eagles trailed throughout their contest, but kept it close until just

after halftime.

Trailing 22-15 at intermission, a scoring binge by Lady Red players Allie Sprouse, Kendra Walker and Shannon Depew pushed the Lady Eagles further down in the third, as Seymour’s shooters couldn’t buy a basket.

Going just 4-of-15 shooting in the quarter, combined with three turnovers, had the Lady Eagles down 15 by the end of the third 42-27.

Things didn’t get any better in the fourth, and Cocke County moved on to the

56-36 win.

Seymour shot only 20 percent for the game, while the Big Red, led by Spouse’s 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting, shot nearly 50 percent for the contest.

Sprouse also had double-digit rebounds with 11.

Kendra Walker ended the game with 11 points, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Shannon Depew added 12 boards and eight points for the Lady Red. Seymour’s high scorer in the game was Casie Cowan

with 16 points on 6-of-19 shooting. She was followed

by Shae Brown with eight points. Ahsley McCarter had five points, Jordan Ballard had four, Hayley Clark two points and nine rebounds and Kelsey Davis added a free throw.

The second game of the night had a similar ending for Seymour.

Again, things went reasonably well the majority of the first half, and the Eagles trailed by just three points at 27-24 with 1:03 to go.

But five-straight points by the Fighting Cocks pushed the lead to eight by the break, and they came out with a 16-2 run to start the third, as Heath Ford, Marcus Stewart, Jeramie Haney and Jared McGaha torched the nets for the first six minutes of the period.

Seymour outscored Cocke County over the final twominute stretch, however, as Skyler Brown and Wes White scored some points down low for the Eagles.

The team still trailed 55-34

and wouldn’t get much closer in the final frame.

Despite the loss, Skyler Brown had a great game for the Eagles with 22 points and seven rebounds. Garrett Gillard was next with eight points. Tyler Tilson added seven points and seven boards. Logan Jenkins had five points, Wes White and Dylan Sise had four eaqch, Alex Lambert and Max Harrell scored two apiece. mpsports@themountainpress.com

SCHS WINS 3From Page A8

G-P had all the momentum, but Sevier County’s Austin Nave broke it with a drive to the hole and-one to make it 40-36 with 3:27 in the third.

The Highlander foul trouble continued in the second half, and G-P had six players with three fouls with just over two minutes in the third, and the Bears finished the quarter with a 7-0 run to make it 44-36 heading into the fourth.

Sevier County’s Zac Carlson hit his second basket of the night and gave the Bears their biggest lead of the game at 10 points with less than seven minutes in regulation.

But the Highlanders came back, and when Morrease Barber drove to the basket for his eighth point of quarter, the Sevier County lead had been trimmed to 55-51 with three minutes to go.

Again, Nave came up huge with an offensive board and putback for a 57-51 lead with 2:13 remaining.

Barber hit 1-of-2 from the stripe to make it 57-52 with 2:06 in the game, but he fouled out 30 seconds later, leaving the game with 20 points to his credit.

The Bears pulled away for an eight-point lead, 63-55, with 51 seconds in the game, but Jose Agosto hit a trey with 16.4 seconds remaining to make it the

WOMEN’S HOOPS

Bjorklund’s late 3 lifts Lady Vols past Ole Miss OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Angie Bjorkland hit an 18-foot jumper with 1 second remaining to lift No. 5 Tennessee to a 61-58 victory over Mississippi on Thursday night.

The Lady Vols (22-2, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) rallied from a seven-point deficit in the final 10 minutes to stay atop conference standings by one game over Kentucky.

Shekinna Stricklen led Tennessee with 13 points, while Alyssa Brewer and Bjorkland had 12 apiece.

Elizabeth Robertson and Bianca Thomas had 18 points apiece for Ole Miss (15-9, 6-5). The Lady Rebels led 48-41 with 10:47 left, but managed only two baskets in

the final 7 minutes.

Thomas hit a driving layup with 15 seconds left to tie the score at 58, setting up Bjorkland’s gamewinning shot. Bjorkland also hit a 3-pointer from the corner at the buzzer last season to defeat Ole Miss.

Mississippi led 30-25

at halftime.

Tennessee shot 26 for 60 from the field (43 percent), but outrebounded the Lady Rebels 47-24 — including 16 from Kelly Cain. Ole Miss compensated by forcing 16 turnovers and hitting 10 3-point shots.

eventual final.

Nave led all scorers with 24 points, Alex Pate had 12, Carlson nine, Josh Johnson six, Bentley Manning four and Dakota Cogdill three in the winning effort.

Johnson’s six points were no indication of his performance on Thursday. He came up huge with several big defensive rebounds down the stretch, not allowing the Highlanders to get back into it with second-shot opportunities.

For G-P, Barber led the team with 20, Agosto had 14, Marquise Wall eight, McKinley Maples six, Drew Barton four, Jake Jackson three, Jon McCroskey a deuce and Garrett Buckner a charity shot in the loss.

G-P coach Raul Placeres works the officials early to no avail.

in the period.

G-P stayed close for awhile and cut it to a one-point game midway through the third, but Sevier County rallied and entered the fourth with a 48-40 edge.

Sevier County’s Carly Pippin made it a 10-point game, 53-43, with 6:56 in regulation with a three-point shot.

G-P cut it to 61-55 with 40.4 seconds left, but that’s as close as it would get for the visitors.

“It’s nice to finish the regular season with a win, especially for our seniors Jaisa Moritz and Amber Stinnett,” said SCHS coach Stacy Marine. “It’s a big county rivalry game, and there were a lot of excited people here. The girls were excited and played hard, and we did what we had to do to beat a good G-P team.”

Girls’

The Bearettes avenged their Jan. 25, 62-50 loss at G-P with the seven-point win on Thursday night.

Both teams shot lights-out in the first half, which ended in a 32-30 Sevier County lead, with each club hitting for six treys apiece.

Sevier County’s Joslin Connatser opened the third quarter with two quick field goals to give the Bearettes the momentum and a 36-30 lead with 7:04

The difference from the first meeting between the clubs was better ball handling by Sevier County on Thursday.

“Last time we made way too many turnovers at their place,” said Marine. “We eliminated those turnovers (Thursday), and that was the key to the game.”

Jaisa Moritz had a great shooting night with four treys and 18 points, Pippin had 15, Emily Cross 11, Hailey Tackett 10, Connatser nine and Madison Pickel a charity shot in the win.

G-P’s Karsen Sims was the game’s co-leader with 18 points, Macy Shults hit four treys for 12 points, Leah Bryan had 10, Beka Owens seven, Lacee Tinker four, and Stephanie Taylor and Morgan Dodgen had three each in the loss.

At that point Pigeon Forge held a 43-37 lead after freshman Cassidy Martin had a nice slash to the basket for two.

From there, however, things started looking up for the Lady Eagles.

Jordan Ballard scored on a nice 3-point play moments later, cutting the Lady Tiger lead in half.

Following an Emily Hurst free throw, Ballard cut further into the lead, sinking a pair from the charity stripe to make the score 44-42.

A Shaelyn Brown 3-ball at the 5:10 point gave Seymour their first lead since the early minutes of the third period, but three-straight free throws for PF put the Tigers back ahead at 48-45 moments later.

Casie Cowan answered with a bucket on a drive, cutting the lead back to one point.

Pigeon Forge junior Kelsey Brooks hit two free throws seconds later to push the lead back to three.

After the teams traded some shots at the charity stripe the lead was back down to two at 51-49 PF. Over the final 1:47 Cowan, Ballard and teammate Brittany Seagle converted 6-of-8 from the free throw line to emerge from the game with the win, as the Lady Tigers could manage

just one point over that time.

“We missed a lot of easy shots, and we gave away some opportunities, but we kind of kept it close and made enough plays there at the end to win it,” Seymour coach Andy Rines said. “We hit some big shots, we finally made some free throws and made some plays defensively.

“Pigeon Forge is a really good basketball team, and we knew it coming in. It wasn’t the best, but we kept fighting, and we’ll surely take it.”

Senior Casie Cowan led the team with 20 points on the night she surpassed 1,000 on her illustrious career.

She was followed by fellow senior Hayley Clark, who stepped up with a big game on the boards, on defense and with 11 points.

“She’s capable of doing that,” Rines said. “She’s done that two of the last three games, and when she chooses to play that way, she can be really good.”

Rounding out Seymour’s scoring were Shay Brown with 10, Ballard with nine, Ashley McCarter with four and Brittany Seagle with 1.

Danielle Rauhuff was Pigeon Forge’s hot hand with 14 points.

Martin added 12, Kelsey Brooks had nine points, Emily Hurst had seven, Ashlynn Trotter five, Ashley Wojnowski three and Mindy Brackins two.

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — When Jimmie Johnson arrived at Daytona International Speedway, he admitted a fear of forgetting how to drive during NASCAR’s offseason.

A 13th-place finish in last week’s exhibition Budweiser Shootout didn’t put his mind at ease.

Winning a door-to-door battle with Kevin Harvick in the first of Thursday’s two Daytona 500 qualifying races certainly helped.

The four-time defending NASCAR champion nipped Harvick by .005 seconds in a thrilling finish to earn a second-row starting spot in Sunday’s season opener. He’s felt better about his restrictor-plate racing skills after edging Harvick, but will still take a good deal of doubt into NASCAR’s version of the Super Bowl.

“After the Shootout, I ran well at the start, then we started fading. Inside the car, I was just wondering if I lost my touch with restrictor plate racing,” Johnson said. “Stuff

Even though we won ... I don’t win a lot on plate tracks, so I still feel like I’m learning. Today is a big step in that direction.”

Johnson won his qualifying race in his backup car and needing pit strategy to get to the front.

He stayed on the track when almost everyone else pitted for the final time. Although he inherited the lead, he had

Harvick and Clint Boywer — teammates at Richard Childress Racing — and feisty Kyle Busch behind him trying to grab the win away.

Crew chief Chad Knaus settled in for the show, confident the most dominant driver in NASCAR could finish the job.

“We were going to go for the win. Whether that was him putting himself in a position to go for it,

or something we had to do to make it happen,” Knaus said. “I think he did a fantastic job of blocking those guys. He had two teammates behind him and a very aggressive Kyle Busch behind him, and he was able to hold them off.

“I think that speaks volumes about how good the car is and what a good restrictor plate racer Jimmie is.”

Danica pleased with stock car progress DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Danica Patrick is pleased with her progress in stock car racing but understands she’ll face a significant challenge in Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide race at Daytona International Speedway.

Her primary goal: simply finish the race and learn as much as she can along the way, calling it “300 miles of practice.”

Patrick continued to stay out of trouble and get more comfortable in the draft during a Nationwide series practice session Thursday morning.

She posted the fifth-fastest speed after coming in 26th on the speed charts yesterday, but Patrick and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. have noted that practice speeds aren’t particularly relevant at Daytona because they don’t necessarily indicate how a car will perform in the race.

“They told me not to look at the speed chart yesterday when I was 26th, because it doesn’t really matter,” Patrick said. “I’m not going to look at it today because I’m fifth, because it supposedly doesn’t matter.”

Patrick finished sixth in an ARCA race at Daytona last weekend, and Saturday will be her NASCAR race debut.

“This is a whole ’nother

ly jeopardize his chances of making the field.

“Just highs and lows,” he said after. “Just Daytona, that’s what it means to me. The best of times and the worst of times. So I can live with it.”

Waltrip snapped a 462race losing streak by winning his first Daytona 500 in 2001 — the same day team owner Dale Earnhardt was killed in a last-lap accident.

Waltrip’s fate in Sunday’s race would not be known until after the second qualifying race: If Bobby Labonte or Scott Speed raced their way into the 500, Waltrip would earn a spot in the field based on his speed in time trials.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES

By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer

Far behind the leaders, Johnson’s good friend Max Papis tearfully qualified for his first Daytona 500. The former sportscar star joined Michael McDowell as the two drivers to race their way into Sunday’s 43-car field.

“I don’t want to be called anymore the ’road course racer,’ “ Papis said.

“I want to be called ’Mad Max, the NASCAR racer.”

McDowell said earning the start will help Prism Motorsports stay on the track this season. Although the team plans on running all year, it needs sponsorship to compete and just making Sunday’s race is a payday that can carry them for at least a few weeks.

“This is the biggest race of the season for us,” McDowell said.

Their success came at the expense of Michael Waltrip, who was planning to make the final Daytona 500 start of his career.

But Waltrip, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, crashed late in the first qualifying race to severe-

ball of wax this weekend,” Patrick said. “This car is not as easy to drive, there’s a lot of really great drivers out there, really great teams out there. And everybody’s running close, and everybody wants to make that next step up to Cup. So this is a much different situation for me.”

In addition to running against a more skilled group of drivers Saturday, Patrick also must cope with a style of car that requires more driving skill than in ARCA. “It’s not just put your foot down, drive around wherever you want out there,”

Patrick said. “You’ve got to be up on the wheel a little bit in this car.”

Patrick will drive part time in the Nationwide series for JR Motorsports this season, but has said her full-time ride in the IndyCar series is her top priority. She still is driven to win IndyCar’s biggest event, the Indianapolis 500.

Still, Patrick keeps using the same word over and over in describing stockcar racing — “fun” — and hasn’t ruled out a full-time switch to NASCAR in the future.

“It’s like having two

kids,” Patrick said. “I can’t pick.”

And while Patrick has been somewhat surprised by the level of media attention her presence in NASCAR is receiving, she says she can’t control what’s being said or written about her and isn’t out to overshadow other drivers.

“That’s not my mission, is to be the big story,” Patrick said.

Detained Americans likely to be released conditionally, says judge

East Coast digs out from storm for the record books PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Crews in Maryland worked to rescue dozens of motorists stranded on highways in snow drifts up to 8 feet and utility workers scrambled to restore power to more than 100,000 customers a day after a powerful storm disrupted the lives of some 50 million people from the southern plains up through the East Coast.

Snowbound airports resumed limited operations but many flights were still canceled or delayed. School systems in the path of the storm remained closed for a second day, including in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., although New York City school children headed back to class after only their third snow day in six years.

In Washington, the federal government was closed for a fourth straight day. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital joined Philadelphia and Baltimore in logging their snowiest winters in history.

Paul Kocin, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Washington, D.C., said the storm compares to some of the greatest ever largely because of its timing. He estimated 50 million people were affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big difference is that it occurred within a week and a half of three other storms,â&#x20AC;? Kocin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

combination of storms is almost unprecedented â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the amount of snow, the amount of impact.â&#x20AC;?

The latest storm dumped over 19 inches in Baltimore, 10 inches in Washington, D.C. and 16 inches in Philadelphia.

About 20 inches fell in central New Jersey and totals ranged from 10 to 16 inches around New York City.

About 50 people spent the night in their vehicles on Maryland sections of U.S. 340 and U.S. 15 in snow that drifted 6 to 8 feet, authorities said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had staff working overnight, monitoring cell phone contact with folks, checking on their welfare,â&#x20AC;? Tom Owens, director of Frederick County Emergency Services. He said emergency workers reached some vehicles on foot during the night, but most of those stranded, including a family with children, chose to stay in their vehicles rather than take shelter at nearby fire stations.

The cars got stuck Wednesday afternoon during the peak of a 23-inch snowfall, Owens said.

Rescue workers, including the National Guard, broke through drifts as high as 12 feet as they tried to bring in tow trucks to remove jackknifed tractortrailers that caused the blockages about 60 miles

west of Baltimore, Owens said.

Yue-Chung Siu, 25, got up early to be at work at his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bagel store in Philadelphia by 5:30 a.m.

Thursday. He said his normal 30 minute commute from Bensalem turned into an hour and 45 minutes because of detours and poorly plowed roads.

He recalled the recordbreaking blizzard of January 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little kid, so I had a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? Siu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like half-fun, half-hassle.â&#x20AC;?

D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty said it would take another 24 hours to see a lot of normal government operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we have a nice, long weekend and the city should be back on its feet

by Tuesday,â&#x20AC;? he told CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Early Show.â&#x20AC;?

Fenty has come under growing criticism for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow removal efforts and for still not having cleared snow from the previous storm.

By midday Thursday, Saint-Vil had yet to deliver his formal recommendation to the prosecutor.

Gary Lassade, an attorney for one of the Americans, said he expects the judge will recommend the case be dropped â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though the prosecutor could also appeal that ruling.

The Americans, most from an Idaho Baptist group, were charged last week with child kidnapping and criminal association after being arrested Jan. 29 while trying to take 33 children, ages 2 to 12, across the border to an orphanage they were trying to set up in the Dominican Republic.

The following day, group leader Laura Silsby of Meridian, Idaho, told the AP that the children were obtained either from orphanages or from distant relatives. She said only children who were found not to have living parents or relatives who could care for them might be put up for adoption.

However, at least 20 of the children are from a single village and have living parents. Some of the parents told the AP they willingly turned over their children to the missionaries on the promise the Americans would educate them and let relatives visit.

Steve Awadallah, manager of Wiseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, shovels snow from the sidewalk in front of the business in the Georgetown shopping district of Washington on Thursday as the district began to clean up after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow storm.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Haitian judge deciding whether 10 U.S. missionaries should face trial on charges of trying to take a busload of children out of the country said Thursday he will recommend that they be released provisionally while the investigation continues.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil must now send his recommendation to the prosecutor, who may agree or object, but the judge has the final authority to decide whether they stay in custody or go free.

Saint-Vil said he was making his recommendation a day after questioning the Americans and hearing testimony from parents who said they willingly gave their children to the Baptist missionaries, believing they would educate and care for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After listening to the families, I see the possibility that they can all be released,â&#x20AC;?

Saint-Vil told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am recommending that all 10 Americans be released.â&#x20AC;?

Later, Saint-Vil said he would recommend provisional freedom for the detainees while the investigation continues. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether their possible release means they would be allowed to leave Haiti, or what implications the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision could have on whether the charges may be dropped.

With a photo of the little girl she cared for in Haiti on her desktop screen in her Dollywood office, thoughts of the people Marie Hrom met and cared for are never far away.

A heart for Haiti

Hrom dedicated to helping people of impoverished nation

By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor There’s the famous song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” but you could change that to “I Left My Heart in Haiti” for Marie Hrom.

Hrom returned about two weeks ago from the nation devastated by a January earthquake and plans to return in the next week or so.

A claims administrator for Dollywood, Hrom’s most recent trip to Haiti was her second in a year. She went last October on a mission trip that sealed her adoration of the country. She went in honor of her son Steven, who died about seven years ago at the age of 18.

“October is the anniversary of my son’s death and I try to do something special to kind of remember Steven and what he would do,” Hrom said. “And I know he would be right in the midst of it.

He’d love it.”

Hrom said she fell in love with the Haitian people on that first trip.

“They’re just so open and they’re so appreciative of anything that you can do for them or give them. At that time, I knew that my heart was being left there when I left.”

With a background as a medical assistant, Hrom provided aid and assistance at medical clinics and orphanages. Some of the medical issues they were greeted with included high blood pressure and the effects of HIV and AIDS. “It’s just amazing the statistics of HIV and AIDS in Haiti,” she said, but the need for all types of medical care was in great demand everywhere.

Through word of mouth, their clinic in a remote village attracted more than 300 patients. Hrom said they gave out a lot of antibiotics and vitamins for children.

“And they were just so appreciative of having doctors and nurses that were willing to come and look at them and give them some help,” she said. “It was just a life-changing type of day.”

The spirit of the people, she said, was amazing.

During that trip, she became acquainted with the couple who ran an orphan-

“I plan on going back to the orphanage to help them try to get documents for the kids and to the legal processing of getting those kids the proper documentation that they need for adoption,” she said, preventing the legal problems facing a group of Baptist missionaries who were arrested for allegedly attempting to take several children from the country.

Her latest trip, however, she spent more time in Jimani in the Dominican Republic, where she helped at a clinic put into service by the Chadasha Foundation.

The foundation built the clinic about two years ago, but it wasn’t being used before the earthquake.

“And now it’s this massive triage unit,” Hrom said.

“They have a surgery area, a post-op and then an emergency area.”

One of the first patients she encountered was Eric Louis, who had been burned over

30 percent of his body.

“He was at a service station, I believe, and his cart caught on fire,” Hrom said.

“He had been there for five days.”

He was transported to Jimani where he was treated for his burns.

“That man was amazing,” Hrom said. “He and his wife both. He never complained.

Just to swab about his mouth or give him something simple, he was so appreciative.”

Hrom said Louis was the first person out of Jimani to be transported to the comfort ship.

“It was wonderful to see him leave, to know that he was going for better care,” she said. “We were giving him as much as we could, but he needs so much more.”

After Louis, Hrom then provided care to a 4-year-old girl who lived at an orphanage in Haiti but was one of three there who needed medical care. Angeline was injured 18 months ago in a fire, and in the process the upper portion of her right arm became fused to her chest cavity. Two plastic surgeons agreed to perform the operation that would give the child more mobility.

“I took care of her from See Hrom, Page B6

Rogers to perform in Greeneville From Submitted Reports GREENEVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pigeon Forge entertainer James Rogers will perform at Niswonger Performing Arts Center Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m.

James performs a one man show from mid-May until the end of October at Dollywood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to coming to Greeneville and performing in your fabulous facility,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said.

Rogersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father played the steel guitar and his mother often sang with her sisters.

Other family members played a number of instruments or sang harmony.

Occasionally, they performed at church or gathered at home to sing.

His first guitar arrived on Christmas morning when he was 11, with the promise that if he learned to play, the next Christmas would bring a new electric model.

When he was only 12, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started to travel around to all the best garages in Fort Oglethorpe, playing in as many groups with as many different people as there were garages to play.â&#x20AC;?

Rgers won the 1983 Silver Dollar City Search for Talent contest and spent 10 years working at that attraction. The Dollywood Company became his business partner in Music Mansion in Pigeon Forge from 1993-98.

Now that I will not be involved with the huge production show any more, I can concentrate more on my song writing and performing one-on-one with my audience, which is for me the single greatest thrill of all,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Saints epitomize the rewards of perseverance Hap Glaudi would have been so proud of the Super Bowl XLIV Champion New Orleans Saints. He always said it would happen if people could just persevere.

Hap, who passed away in 1989, was a popular sportscaster, columnist and allaround personality in his native city of Noo Oiyuns, or N’Awlins, or whatever it was he called it. Hap was riding high in the saddle when I was living there in 1966 and the city was awarded an NFL franchise.

The agreement and signing was on Nov. 1, which was a unique way to celebrate All Saints day in a predominantly-Catholic city.

Excitement in the city was high when John W. Mecom Jr., a young oilman from Houston, became the team’s first majority stockholder. The Saints’ colors of black and gold symbolized both Mecom’s and New Orleans’ strong ties to the “black gold” oil industry.

Renowned trumpeter Al Hirt was a minority owner and his rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In” was made the official fight song.

Hap Glaudi, like other sports journalists, fans and interested citizens, had great hopes for the newest NFL expansion team — hopes that were buoyed when the Saints completed their pre-season schedule with a 5-1 record. With an opportunity to attend the initial Saints game played in Tulane Stadium in 1967, like many others I saw great possibilities when Saints rookie John Gilliam returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. Pandemonium reigned in the packed stadium and the stands rocked, but the 27-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in that first regular season game was a forewarning of things to come.

Of course, it is difficult for any expansion team to fare well. Historically, the teams are stocked with past-their-prime veterans and unproven rookies. This held true for the Saints.

It is as vivid as yesterday as I recall seeing former Tennessee All-American and Chicago Bears All-Pro defensive end Doug Atkins come to town and don the Saints uniform. Through Doug, who played high school football with my older brother Ralph in Humboldt (TN) and lived about two blocks from our house, I was able to secure Saints tickets.

Former Green Bay backfield stars Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung, known as

“Thunder and Lightning” while leading the Packers to championships, also became Saints. Jim Taylor, former standout runner at LSU in nearby Baton Rouge, was a fan favorite.

Hornung, bothered by a pinched nerve, never played in a Saints game.

He joined Hap Glaudi and others as a commentator.

Atkins and Taylor performed well enough to have their numbers (81 and 31) retired.

The Saints signed Billy Kilmer, a former running back with the San Francisco Forty-Niners before he injured his leg in a car crash and became a quarterback because it required less mobility. Kilmer was a colorful character and was popular with the fans and media. He did a lot of poster signings around town and I still have one somewhere. Kilmer stayed with the Saints until he saw the handwriting on the wall indicating the Saints were going to sign Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning in the 1971 draft. Kilmer went to the Washington Redskins.

I had moved from New Orleans by the time Manning ran a touchdown on the final play of the first game in 1971 to upset the Los Angeles Rams. Again, fans had lofty hopes. But after getting 14 wins, 40 losses and 2 ties in the first four years, the Saints had 45 wins, 114 losses and 3 ties during Manning’s 11 years with the team. Their best season during this period was a record of 8 wins and 8 losses in 1979.

The ’79 team and the 1983 team that also went 8-8 were the only ones to finish with a .500 record until the Saints had 12 wins and 3 regular-season losses in 1987 before losing their first playoff game.

Hap Glaudi was ecstatic over the 1987 Saints. I don’t know if he could have withstood the joy brought by the Super Bowl XLIV Champions. But he did believe with perseverance it could happen. © 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.

Justin is now at Tennessee Tech University studying anthropology.

Needless to say, life without scouting is not known to the Holeman family.

Locally, there are troops in Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Kodak.

GATLINBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sevier County businessman Jay Holeman, owner of Timbertops Luxury Cabins rental company, is not only a former Cub Scout and Boy Scout, but is part of a family scouting heritage which dates back to the beginning of Boy Scouting in America.

The scouting program, celebrating its 100th year in 2010, was started in America by a Chicago newspaper publisher, William Boyce, who learned about it when he was in England. By 1912, every state had at least one troop.

Today there are more than four million boys involved in the various scouting programs.

Four generations of Holemans, starting with Jay Holemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, were scouts.

Earl W. Holeman joined Troop 1 in Rochester, Ind., in 1911.

He later went on to become a scoutmaster in Hobart, Ind., where his son â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Holeman, now of Gatlinburg, became an Eagle Scout in 1944.

In the 1960s when the family migrated South, Jay Holeman went through the program, achieving the rank of Life Scout.

After moving to Sevier County, Justin Holeman, the son of Jay and Julie Holeman, joined in the

Anderson aided DAR with war relief From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — Famous American contralto Marian Anderson spent most of her singing career performing in concerts and recitals throughout the United States and Europe between 1925 and 1965.

She joined the junior choir at the local Baptist church when she was 6.

She was soon nicknamed “The Baby Contralto.”

During her career, she received many awards. In 1963, President Lyndon Johnson awarded her the American Medal of Freedom. In 1977, Congress awarded her a gold medal for what was thought to be her 75th birthday. In 1980, the U.S. Treasury Department coined a half-ounce gold commemorative medal with her likeness.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan presented her with the National Medal of Arts.

In Europe, she was welcomed into the finest hotels and restaurants despite being black, but in the United States, she was not. In the South, she often stayed with friends.

“If I were inclined to be combative,” she once said, “I suppose I might insist on making an issue of these things. But that is not my nature, and I always bear in mind that my mission is to leave

behind me the kind of impression that will make it easier for those who follow.”

On March 14, 1953, Anderson sang to a mixed audience in Constitution Hall as part of the American University concert series.

On April 1, 1956, she performed in the DAR’s Constitution Hall. In Oct. 24, 1964, she began her American tour in

Constitution Hall. In April 20, 1992, she sang at the opening night ceremonies of the DAR annual convention, and the DAR awarded her the Centennial Medallion.

On Jan. 27, 2005, the DAR and the U.S. Postal Service co-hosted the Marian Anderson commemorative stamp first day of issue dedication ceremony. The event took place in DAR Memorial

Continental Hall, which adjoins DAR Constitution Hall.

In late September 1942, a few days before the start of her annual tour, Anderson received an invitation from the DAR to appear in Constitution Hall. The DAR had refused, only three years earlier, to allow her to sing in the same venue.

Constitution Hall was sold out. Among the 4,000 that filled the hall, more than half of them were black.

“I forgave the DAR many years ago. You lose a lot of time hating people,” she told reporters after that concert.

Man’s girlfriend trying to put distance between friends

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am a happily married woman.

I am also close to “Tom,” whom I have known for 15 years. My husband is friendly with Tom, as well.

The problem is Tom’s girlfriend. There has never been anything sexual about my relationship with Tom. He is four years younger, and I think of him as a little brother. I have done everything I can think of to welcome his girlfriend. I’ve called her.

I’ve e-mailed so she can get to know me better.

I’ve invited her for dinner. I’ve offered to invite Tom over only when my husband is home. None of it seems to matter. She still thinks he’s cheating on her with me.

Tom has been there during the toughest times of my life. He doesn’t drive due to a physical disability, so I’m lucky to see him a few times a month. His girlfriend sees him almost every night, but even when she’s with him at my house, she gets jealous and picks a fight. Tom does not condone her behavior, but I’m beginning to feel angry that she is accusing me of things I would never do — like cheat on my husband.

Tom is like family to me. How can I make this woman understand that we are friends and nothing more? I’d love to hang out and have fun with both of them, but she is unwilling. Any suggestions? — At Wits‚ End Dear AWE: Tom’s girlfriend is very insecure. She is unreasonably jealous because she cannot control the relationship Tom has with you except by eliminating it altogether. That is her ultimate goal and the reason why your friendly overtures are not work-

ing. If Tom cannot reassure her sufficiently, he will continue to distance himself until he breaks it off with her — or you.

Sorry.

Dear Annie: I have a large extended family, with many aunts, uncles and cousins. We try to get together once or twice a year. My aunts and uncles usually attend these gatherings, but few of the cousins show up. I have first cousins I haven’t seen in years, and we all live within 30 miles of each other.

The children of these cousins are now graduating from high school, getting married and having babies. My mailbox is overflowing with wedding and shower invitations and graduation announcements.

I send gifts to those cousins whose families I am in contact with, but I resent receiving all these announcements from cousins I never see and who make no attempt to have a relationship with me. When I receive these invitations, I ignore them. I know other family members agree with me but still feel obligated to send gifts.

How do people have the nerve to send invitations to people they never see? Do I tell them how I feel or just continue to ignore their mail? — Related in Name Only Dear Related: If you have no connection to these cousins, never see them and don’t particularly care about them, there is no reason

to attend their functions or send gifts — unless, of course, it is to reciprocate for gifts they have sent to you.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Guilford, Conn.,” who discovered she had been taking her thyroid medication incorrectly, which was why she wasn’t feeling any better. She was supposed to take it 30 minutes before breakfast.

Her doctor had not given her this information.

I am an RN and have been taking thyroid replacement since 1962.

In addition to the timing of the pill, you are supposed to take it with a full glass of water. You also should not take vitamin-mineral supplements within four hours of taking the thyroid medication.

“Guilford” is right. If you take the drug properly, it can make you function at a much higher level. Thank you for your column. You do a world of good. — J.G. Dear J.G.: We appreciate the kind words and your expert suggestions.

Anyone on medication should double-check with the pharmacist to find out precisely how to take it.
