‘Mr. Seaton ... Not how I pray’ Alleged victims testify Thursday at prelim hearing By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — One of five women accusing local hotelier Ken Seaton of sexual battery said Thursday that he had prayed with her and another woman just before groping her. During a preliminary hearing in Sevier County General Sessions Court, the woman told Judge Kenneth N. Bailey Jr. that Seaton asked her and another woman in his office to hold his hands and pray for prosperity. Immediately after that, she said, Seaton got up and came to hug her, but his hands drifted below her waist — once, then again after she

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The number of days local school officials have built into the calendar for inclement weather has fallen as fast as the snow in Sevier County this winter, and that opens the possibility of everything from longer school days to Saturday classes. As of Thursday, students had gotten 12 unexpected days off with the potential for another today, though that decision hadn’t been made by press time. Classes can be canceled only 13 times before officials have to start looking for ways to make up the missed time. Sevier County is one of only a few in the state that were given a special exemption for scheduling make up days by a so-called “snow bill” in the 1980s. Under that law, local officials were given permission to extend the time students are in class each day, yielding 13 extra days’ worth of instruction time, school system Director of Curriculum Debra Cline explains. While that has typically been enough to accommodate the missed days, this year’s active winter has pushed the calendar to the brink. With a requirement that 180 days of instruction

Icicles hang from the ticket and concession stand at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School Thursday as snow and cold weather kept county students home. be offered each school year coming into conflict this year with concern for student safety, officials may soon be looking for ways to make up additional missed days. “What we want to do is have our kids in school regularly to go about the business of education,” Cline says. “Missing days like we have this year could impair the academic achievement of the students. We do all we can to be on task and focused on instruction when school is in session, but having all these days out has been tough.” Still, when officials believe conditions might

be unsafe for students, parents, faculty, staff and buses, school must be canceled. “Hopefully we won’t miss more than one more day,” Cline says with a laugh that acknowledges how unlikely that seems in light of the area’s recent snow globe quality. “If we do, the superintendent would have to look at the options for what is the best way for us to ensure we’re getting the instructional time we need.” Among those options is adding another hour to the school day for as many weeks as are needed to make up the time, tacking on extra days

of classes to the Easter or summer breaks, and calling students in for Saturday sessions. Cline acknowledged none of those options is at all attractive to officials, and certainly none of them will be popular with teachers, students or parents. Still, even just a glance at the shortterm forecast reveals Old Man Winter may already be gearing up to bury any hope that the remainder of the year will go uninterrupted under a fluffy layer of snow. National Weather Service Meteorologist Tod Hyslop says the models indicate the area could see remnant snow

showers from a system that moved through the area a couple days ago to continue sliding through the area. “We’ve got a blocking pattern that’s been with us through most of the winter,” Hyslop explains. “What that means is we’ve basically got a big area of high pressure that has parked over the area. It’s like the high pressure system that came to dinner and wouldn’t leave. It’s blocking these low pressure systems that we’ve seen moving through the area and keeping this winter precipitation See snow, Page A5

Local woman battles rare tumor By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — For five years, Crystal Scheffers had experienced an excruciating stomach pain and trouble swallowing. Doctors couldn’t seem to make her troubles go away. “One doctor told me it was the thickening of the esophagus and just let it go,” said Scheffers, a Sevierville mother of three girls. “Another doctor, a gastroenterologist, told me it was my gallbladder and took it out — but the pain kept on.” When another gastroenterologist examined her, he told her she had a tumor that had grown to her esophagus from her stomach, or vice-versa. The condition was called “leiomyomatosis,” which is extremely rare, according to her physician, Dr. Keith Gray at University of Tennessee Medical Center. “It felt like a knife was in my stomach, grinding,” she said of her symptoms. “Later I had trouble swallowing. It’s not cancer. They said there was a possibility it was hereditary. My daughters’ CT scans came back normal, thank God.” Scheffers had surgery in June that involved turning out the top of her esophagus all the way down through her stomach.

Ellen Brown/The Mountain Press

Crystal Scheffers of Sevierville studies papers in her home on her rare tumor, “leiomyomatosis.”

“They took a large portion out of my stomach. It’s now in my chest.” She is required to go for a CT-scan every six months. “I didn’t have any symptoms until I was close to 30 years old,” she said. “They think this started when I was little, it grows at such a slow

rate. If it had grown any faster, they think my esophagus would have collapsed.” She continues to have pain, which she believes is from nerve damage. After being on a feeding tube for two months, then a high-fiber diet, her body is still adjusting to the surgery. “I eat 8-9 snacks a day right now,” said Scheffers, adding that her nutritionist has been working on a new plan. “Within five minutes, any food I take in empties out. ... I’ve lost about 40 pounds.” Scheffers worked in human resources until two years ago and is now on disability. “For two weeks at a time, I won’t leave the house because I have no energy.” There are also the looming hospital bills, which are currently at $15,000 — and much tougher to pay since her husband lost his job in November. “My emotions go up and down because there’s nobody to talk to about this. I think there are more cases out there — the doctors didn’t know what they were looking at when they saw me. “Maybe there’s someone else out there who is reading this and is having the same symptoms I had.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Property tax deadline looms Saturday By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Tax day looms for thousands of folks who got a bill late last year from Sevier County. Local property taxes are due by Feb. 28, though since that falls on a Sunday this year, those who still have to pony up must do so by Saturday or face the potential of penalty fees. Trustee Jettie Clabo says her office is open today and staffers will be in again from 8 a.m. to noon tomorrow for a rare Saturday workday. “The last day is always the big day,” Clabo says. “People have been waiting to pay even more than usual this year, so I expect we’ll see a crowd.” So far, the collections have been running down about 1 percent from the previous year based on the number of folks com-

ing in to pay. Still, the actual amount paid in is about even or slightly higher than in years past because there are more parcels to pay for this year thanks to development that has continued despite the ongoing recession. That economic downturn and the loss of a number of jobs locally has put some taxpayers into a real pinch this year. “We have had a number of people coming in worried about being able to pay,” Clabo says. “A lot of people don’t realize you can actually set up a payment plan with our office and we’ll keep track of your progress.” It may be a bit late to start that sort of effort without incurring the late fees, which accrue at 1.5 percent per month. Still, just letting the trustee’s

staff know there’s some effort ongoing to make payment can help. As of Thursday, the office was seeing crowds of people come in spurts as the rush was on to beat the deadline. Though the bills were mailed months ago, it seems some people either needed the time to collect the cash or just enjoy the thrill of beating the deadline. “February is our biggest month of the whole time,” Clabo says. “That’s one thing we’re telling people about Saturday — they can come in and not have as much trouble finding a place to park because there won’t be all these people coming to pay in addition to those who have regular business in the courthouse.” In addition to offering the Saturday service, the trustee’s office is tell-

Senate OKs bill to help low-income NASHVILLE (AP) — The Senate has unanimously approved legislation that seeks to help low-income Tennessee residents. The measure co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Douglas Henry of Nashville was approved 30-0 on Thursday. The companion bill is awaiting a vote on the House floor next week. The legislation allows the Department of Human Services to provide low-income energy assistance at “any percentage of the federal income poverty level that is permitted by federal law.�

hearing because local judges recused themselves from the case. The Mountain Press is not identifying either of the alleged victims who testified Thursday because the newspaper does not generally identify alleged victims of sex crimes. Bailey eventually bound over two sexual battery charges against Seaton. Seaton’s attorney, Bryan Delius, had already waived preliminary hearings on three additional charges. That means all five charges will be reviewed by a grand jury, which will consider whether there is enough evidence to merit proceeding with a trial against Seaton. Delius spent a large portion of the afternoon attempting to impeach the testimony of the two alleged victims whose charges hadn’t been waived. That effort might not have proved successful with Bailey, but allowed Delius to conduct lengthy cross-examinations which could provide more opportunities to attack the women’s credibility as the cases move forward. In all five cases, the women allege that Seaton touched them inappropriately. Most were working for him late last year at the time the alleged incidents took place. The woman who testified he prayed with her is one of two women who filed sexual harassment and wrongful termination suits against Seaton. The other party filing the suit, who is not among the alleged victims

operate the facility. “We have started with demolition. This is going to be a reality,� Vickers said. “The construction contract runs for 180 days and it started Monday. We’re looking at a late August opening.� The effort being completed by D&S Builders is set to locate a five-screen multiplex in a portion of the Parkway shopping center to the left of the Smoky Mountain Brewery location in a section of retail space that has been left vacant. Those shops will be torn down and the theater will take their place. The new theater will have a traditional cinema marquee out front and will also fill several false store facades. It’s set to have stadium seating and digital projection, with the capability to show 3-D movies, Vickers said. Holrob has also signed a contract with Knoxville-based theater operations company Phoenix Big Cinemas Management LLC, the 25thlargest theater company in the country, Vickers said. It’s not the first time Phoenix has been involved with a project in Sevier County. Among the previous promises for new cinema offerings in the area was one that a multiplex would be built in the Allensville Road development that seemed to stall after the construction of Home Depot. In a post on The Mountain Press’ Web site Thursday, Phoenix Vice President of Marketing Karen Lane said the company was set to manage that facility but that deal has since been dissolved as the developer

in the criminal case, was the same one the alleged victim said was in the room with her and Seaton when the incident occurred. After touching her, the woman said, “(Seaton) told me if I cooperated, I wouldn’t need a husband, and I’d be surprised what Viagra could do for an old man.� The woman said she worked for Seaton several more days after rebuffing him, but was eventually fired from her job. The second alleged victim to testify Thursday said she worked in Seaton’s offices. She told Bailey that Seaton came up behind her, pulled her shirt and bra down and placed his face between her breasts. She pushed him away and pulled up her shirt and bra, she said, and he told her to leave them down. “(What he said) was to the effect of, ‘Don’t bother to do that, I might be back for more,’� she told Bailey. Both women said Seaton appeared to be drunk when the incidents occurred; the second said he kept a supply of Scotch whisky in the office and had a glass of it in his hand when the incident allegedly happened. The second woman said she was never paid for any of the time she worked for Seaton, which lasted for several weeks, including time after the alleged incident occurred. Delius raised several issues in an attempt to question the credibility of the two women. The dates they testified the alleged incidents happened in court do not match the dates Pigeon Forge Detective Rene Kendall listed in the war-

rants; however, prosecutor Pamela Huddleston noted the warrants say the events occurred “on or about� the listed dates. Delius also noted previous criminal charges against the first woman who took the stand; she was convicted of a misdemeanor drug charge and possession of drug paraphernalia. He asked the second woman if she had told people Seaton fell and his hand had gone down her blouse, rather than what she described in court; she said she hadn’t. The first woman also said Delius and an investigator came to her home the day after Christmas last year and, while questioning her about the criminal case, offered a financial settlement — an offer Delius took quick steps to assure the judge involved the civil suit, and not the criminal case. “It all came down to (Delius and the investigator) asking me what it would take to make me whole again,� she said. When the investigator took the stand, at Delius prompting he said that they inquired if she would accept a settlement in the civil case, and made it clear they were not offering money for her to change her testimony regarding the criminal charges. At one point during the hearing, a bailiff asked attorneys for both sides to approach the bench. Officials indicated there had been an incident outside involving witnesses waiting to testify, but the judge did not announce any actions during the hearing.

Toyota chief blasted by lawmakers despite apology WASHINGTON (AP) — Under blistering criticism, Toyota President Akio Toyoda personally and repeatedly apologized to Congress and millions of anxious American car-owners Wednesday for deadly defects in popular models produced by his Japanese company. But angry lawmakers forcefully declared it was hardly enough. “Where is the remorse?� scolded Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio. And Republican John Mica of Florida held aloft what he called an “absolutely appalling� Toyota report bragging of defusing a safety investigation. Of Toyoda’s apology, Kaptur said, “I do not think it reflects significant remorse for those who have died.� Federal safety officials have received reports linking 34 deaths in the United States to safety defects in Toyota cars and trucks over the past decade. “I extend my sincerest condolences to them from the bottom of my heart,� responded Toyoda, grandson of the founder of the world’s largest auto company. “I’m deeply sorry for any accident that Toyota drivers have experienced.�

has left the site vacant. Lane wasn’t able to offer further information on that situation when she spoke to The Mountain Press late Thursday, only confirming that the agreement struck “years ago� has fallen through. “This (Waldens Landing) is the project we’re involved in in Sevier County now,� Lane said. “This one is a great location and the developer was ready to go.� The idea of putting a theater at Waldens Landing came as its ownership pondered ways to increase foot traffic to the center. Though a somewhat high-end development in a busy part of town, the retail location has seen a high turnover rate among its stores, with a number of spaces sitting empty for long stretches of time. Putting the theater in could

solve two problems by bringing in more visitors to take in a show and peruse the retail offerings, as well as filling the vacant storefronts. Vickers has speculated to city officials there could be hundreds of thousands of people who use the theater each year. If that hefty projection materializes, developers are ready to accommodate the demand. “There is the potential to expand by three or four screens behind the building if that becomes necessary,� Vickers said. “We have determined that there is room for 600 additional seats back there. How many screens we get out of that depends on how many seats we put in each theater.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Tourism becomes boon to state farms NASHVILLE (AP) — In a tough year for Tennessee’s state budget, the departments of tourism and agriculture have found a mutual silver lining: a boomlet in agricultural tourism. Milking cows (sort of), wandering through corn and cotton mazes, watching chicks hatch, having a country wedding and picking melons are among the activities drawing city folks and their pocketbooks to farms around Tennessee. Officials from the state Department of

Agriculture say more than 600 such operations can be found across Tennessee today. And some of the farmers have crossed into the cyberspace world, setting up Web sites and Facebook pages. With an estimated loss of 11.5 acres of Tennessee farmland per hour to development, conservationists wanting to preserve the state’s green landscapes are also among those supporting the movement. “It’s very much a growing industry

commentary

Generals have tough time taking orders In an obituary of Alexander Haig, The New York Times wrote: “He was a rare American breed: a political general.” Not rare enough, I’d say. Haig was a key figure in what Eisenhower might have called “a military-governmental complex.” Perhaps that is fitting. After all, our first president was the greatest of our generals, George Washington. He was followed by 11 more president generals. The political viability of generals declined after the Civil War generation passed on. Haig and others, most recently another former commanding general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Wesley Clark, ran unsuccessfully for the White House. They were generals, not used to having their judgment or knowledgeability questioned. They could not handle argument or criticism. Real politicians can; they can thrive in lives that are often an endless series of small humiliations. Haig, in fact, was a significant example of the military men who worked their way into the higher levels of democratic government by practicing the military arts of duty, honor, country — deference, unthinking loyalty and discretion. Haig was only a colonel when he was called into the Nixon White House in 1969 as a military assistant to Henry Kissinger. A West Point graduate and decorated Vietnam veteran, he had created the career path that was followed by other military men, most notably Gen. Colin Powell and Adm. John Poindexter. After his service on Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s staff during the Korean war, Haig, obviously among the Army’s best and brightest, was assigned to the Pentagon as a deputy special assistant to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Then he went to Vietnam as a brigade commander. Coming home he was assigned the White House assistant job and, in time, succeeded Kissinger as national security adviser. Those were almost unbelievably nasty times, with the military spying on the National Security Council. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Thomas Moorer, sent a young Navy typist to deliver each day copies of the papers he saw and the contents of Kissinger’s and Haig’s wastebaskets to the Pentagon. When Watergate finally destroyed the strong men of the Nixon White House, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Haig, then vice chief of staff of the Army, was called back to replace Haldeman as White House chief of staff. By all accounts, he served the country with honor in the final days of the Nixon administration, holding together the fractured administration until Nixon resigned. With Nixon’s backing, Haig was appointed secretary of State in 1981 by a new Republican president, Ronald Reagan. He lasted only 17 months, ruining himself by going on television wild-eyed and declaring he was in charge of the White House when Reagan was wounded by a would-be assassin. More important, it was during Haig’s rise and fall that civilian government turned more and more to the military for manpower. And in those years, particularly after Kissinger was gone, power and money shifted steadily from the State Department and diplomacy to the Defense Department and military solutions to political problems. At the same time, the ending of a civilian draft by Nixon inevitably separated the military from most of the rest of society. It did not start with Haig, of course. President Kennedy had elevated Gen. Maxwell Taylor to high levels of politics and diplomacy. In fact, Kennedy saw the military as the new agents of civilian government itself, saying in a commencement speech at West Point in 1962: “Whether it is Vietnam or Laos or in Thailand ... Whatever your position, you will need to know and understand not only the foreign policy of the U.S. but the foreign policy of all countries scattered around the world ... You will be involved in economic judgments which most economists would hesitate to make.” The year before, the commencement speaker, Gen. MacArthur, a man who had wanted to be president, delivered the opposite message: “Your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable — it is to win our wars. Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication.” Recent history — watching bright and dedicated young officers try to build civil societies in Iraq and Afghanistan — makes you wonder if MacArthur, a political general if there ever was one, may have been right all along. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Saddle Up! Pigeon Forge lassoes fun to close out Winterfest Yee-haw! It’s the last round-up for Pigeon Forge’s 20th annual Winterfest Celebration. What a celebration it has been and what a round-up this weekend promises to be. It started back on Nov. 3 when The Duggar Family, stars of the TLC reality series “18 Kids and Counting,” came to Patriot Park for fireworks and the turning-on-the-lights ceremony. In the nearly four months that have passed, more than 5 million lights have brightened the city for locals and tourists alike. What started Thursday and continues through the weekend at various locations around Pigeon Forge is the 10th annual Saddle Up! The festival “includes a variety of cowboy entertainment, presented the cowboy way.” There’s going to be entertainment galore, but perhaps the top draws — get the cowboy metaphor? — will be performances by the Grammy-winning western and comedy group Riders in the Sky at Tennessee Shindig tonight

and Saturday, and a reunion of the cast of “The Virginian.” The four cast members will be at virtually all of the Saddle Up! events as well as attending a meetand-greet just for them from 6-9 p.m. Saturday at the convention center on Jake Thomas Road. For folks old enough to remember the 1960s when westerns and rural sitcoms were such a major force on television, “The Virginian” cast reunion ought to be a special treat. Cast members James Drury, Roberta Shore, Gary Clarke and Randy Boone will be on hand. There will be a question-and-answer session, the cast will sign autographs and film clips from the series will be shown. DVDs of the first two seasons will be for sale. Of course, entertainment won’t be provided just by the television stars and Riders in the Sky. There will be performances by various entertainers at venues such as The Smith Family Theater, Grand Majestic Theater, Tennessee Shindig and Grand Resort and Hotel

(check mypigeonforge.com for a complete listing). If just the entertainment doesn’t get you into that cowboy spirit, there’s a heap more. There are going to be chuckwagon breakfasts, lunches and dinners, a chuckwagon cookoff, a songwriters workshop that lasts almost all day Saturday and cowboy church Sunday morning led by Pastor Doug Stokes of Porterville, Miss. And for those who really want to get into the cowboy spirit, you need to plan to be at Clabough’s Campground beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday. Attendees will be able to learn the basics of calf roping, cowboy poetry and Dutch oven cooking. The calendar says we officially have almost another month of winter, but the final curtain falls on Pigeon Forge’s Winterfest 2009-’10 this weekend. It would be fitting to grab your partner — shoot-fire, your whole family — and dosey-doe over to Pigeon Forge for the final round-up. Yee-haw!

Public forum Parents of Bryan Walker say thanks for the ‘Idol’ support

Editor: Our son, Bryan Walker, was a recent contestant on the television show “American Idol.” The experience was wonderful in so many ways. Most valuable to us has been the tremendous outpouring of support and love from you, our hometown community. Contractual agreements with the folks at A.I. and the management company associated with them have limited Bryan and all of our family from expressing our thanks to you. Now that his participation in the show has ended we can share our thoughts. So many friends have encouraged Bryan that it would be impossible to list all of you

here, and I wouldn’t dare to try for fear of forgetting someone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You may never know how much Bryan enjoyed all of the comments, texts, phone calls, cards and letters, prayers and other acts of kindness from each of you. Special thanks must be given to the Sevierville board of Mayor and Aldermen, Mayor Bryan Atchley (fasten that seat belt, your honor) and the Sevier County Commission. Thanks to each of you for your cooperation and support. Sevier County law enforcement, especially the Sevierville Police department, Chief Myers, Capt. Bryan, Lt. Ayers and all of the officers on Bryan’s shift: thank you so much. Bryan is proud to serve with each of you. Special thanks also to our church families

at Sevierville First and Pathways. We love and appreciate you all very much. Our friends at the Sevier County schools have also been wonderful. Finally, we want each of you to know how proud we are to be Bryan’s parents. God has blessed us indeed with a great family, but we realize our children have been greatly influenced by our friends and the community in which we live. While we were in California, Bryan talked with pride about his friends and the home he loves so much. Soon he will be able to make a public statement and will do so. Please remember us in your prayers and look for Bryan to be singing here soon. Thanks so much to all of you. René and David Walker Kodak

PREP BASKETBALL

PF, Bearettes fight for postseason lives tonight By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — By virtue of their performance in the regular season and semifinals of the District 3-AA tournament, the Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers will host the Scott County Lady Highlanders in the first round

of the Region 2-AA tournament tonight at PFHS. Similarly, the Sevier County Bearettes upset win over Cocke County in the opening round of the District 2-AAA tournament assured them a spot in the region tonight, and they’ll travel to Bristol to face the Vikings of Tennessee High. While the Purple and White

(10-20) will have their work cut with Tennessee High (22-8), the Lady Tigers (21-5) are the likely favorites over Scott County (14-11). Still, the Lady Highlanders are no pushovers. After falling to the top-seeded Christian Academy of Knoxville in the District 4-AA semifinals, 55-44, Scott County toppled

a good Stone Memorial team, 80-73, in triple-overtime to earn the district’s third-place crown on Monday. In that game the Lady Highlanders showed off their versatility as four players scored in double-figures — Whitney Phillips with 22 points, Shay Anderson with 20, Lexi Jeffers with 15 and Lynsey Chambers

with 13. Pigeon Forge would be wellsuited to start off hot, as they did in many home games this season. Using their pressing style to spark a few Danielle Rauhuff steals and layups or some spotup 3-pointers on fast-breaks from a trailing Kelsey Brooks See TONIGHT, Page A9

Big Weave a Red Raider Seymour lefty inks with Roane State CC By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — Last season Corbin Weaver made huge strides on the baseball field. Previously a stalwart of the Eagles’ bullpen and an occasional spot starter, the powerfully-built lefty — affectionately know as Big Weave by teammates — earned a new reputation around District 3-AA. Starting the season 7-1 with a sub-2.00 ERA on the hill for the Eagles, Weaver had earned stature as one of the Eagles’ highestperforming hurlers for the Blue and Gold. “He was actually our numberone pitcher,” coach Scott Norman said. “He’d beat some really good teams. He shutout Morristown East and beat Anderson County

on the road. “I think he ended up maybe 7-2, he had a couple of rough outings right at the end of the year, which kind of inflated his ERA a little bit, but going into May he was really throwing the ball pretty well.” That success on the mound, coupled with a good bat — about a .310 average with five homers — got Weaver some attention from Roane State Community College and coach David Lane. He recently made a trip there, and it helped him make up his mind to sign with the team this week. “I took a visit up there, and I threw a little bit,” Weaver said moments after signing. “They’d showed me around, and I liked it.” Seymour’s coach Norman said Weaver’s only improved from last year’s big season. “He’s had a good year in the weight room, he’s added a few See WEAVER, Page A9

Bears honored by coaches and media as All-IMAC team selecions By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Three Sevier County Smoky Bears continued to pile up the postseason accolades on Thursday, as sniors Austin Nave and Jordan Henrickson and junior Josh Johnson were named to the 2009-10 IMAC All-Media Teams. Bearettes senior guard Jaisa Moritz was also chosen for the squad. Voted on by nine media outlets covering the teams of the InterMountain Athletic Conference, the honors awarded three AllIMAC teams, a coach of the year and player of the year.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Julia Mancuso was third fastest in Thursday’s second run of the giant slalom, which wasn’t enough to overcome a frustrating performance in the first run a day earlier. She wound up eighth, an end to her Vancouver Olympics that was both encouraging and even more frustrating. What if she hadn’t been forced to stop her first run because injured teammate Lindsey Vonn was still on the ground? Would that trip have been similar to this one? Did she deserve to have been back on the medals stand in an event she won four years ago in Turin? “I felt I was able to put down a really good second run today,” she said. “It just wasn’t enough. ... I was pretty close, but I guess I’ll wait for another four years.” Mancuso is planning to skip the final women’s Alpine event, the slalom on Friday. That closes her 2010 Winter Games with a pair of silver medals. Vonn plans to ski the race, even though that tumble left her with a broken right pinkie and a bunch more bruises to go with her bum right shin. Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany won the giant slalom, a stunning feat for a woman who’d never won a major race, and another German took silver in the women’s cross-country relay. That puts Germany into the lead for the most gold medals with eight, and trims the United States’ lead in the overall count to two, 28-26. Marit Bjoergen of Norway won the women’s cross-country relay, making her the first person in Vancouver to collect three golds and four overall medals. The Norwegians are now tied with the U.S. and Canada for second-most golds with seven. Four more gold medals were to be awarded Thursday, with Kim Yu-na taking a commanding lead into the women’s figure

skating free skate and a clash of titans in women’s hockey, the United States vs. Canada. The other events are men’s aerials and Nordic combined’s individual 10Km. ——— GIANT SLALOM Germany hadn’t won this event since 1956. Rebensburg was highly unlikely to be the drought-buster. Just ask her. “Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable,” she said. The 20-year-old Rebensburg was sixth after the opening run. Her second run was only seventh-best and she expected at least one of the remaining skiers to top her. Obviously, they couldn’t. “She should experience this moment right now,” said her teammate Maria Riesch, winner of the super combined. “It all goes by like a film and tonight she will shake her head and wonder what happened.” ——— BOBSLEDDER DETAINED A U.S. bobsledder who is supposed to compete Friday was detained and released by Canadian police. Nobody is saying much other than confirm that something happened with Bill Schuffenhauer, a push athlete for the USA-3 four-man bobsled squad. The USOC said it was not immediately clear why he was detained. U.S. coach Brian Shimer said, “We’re just getting ready to race.” ——— NORDIC COMBINED American Johnny Spillane is in good shape for a third medal, finishing second in the large hill ski jumping portion of his event. Spillane was fortunate to be part of the jumpers who went off before weather worsened. The change in conditions hurt some of the top jumpers behind him. There already had been one restart, with the scores of the first wave erased. See OLYMPICS, Page A9

“It’s like a lottery. Some guys got good conditions, some others terrible conditions,” said World Cup leader Jason Lamy Chappuis, of France, who won the gold in the normal hill 10K but had to start this race in 29th place. American Billy Demong was to start sixth, teammate Todd Lodwick 14th. ——— CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING Bjoergen joined the growing trend of skiers pausing on the way to the finish to grab a flag. Like the others who did it, she was well ahead. Norway won its first women’s relay gold since 1984, having settled for silver five times. Bjoergen also won the individual sprint and 15K pursuit, and took bronze in the 10K freestyle. ——— WOMEN’S HOCKEY Finland beat Sweden 3-2 in overtime for the bronze medal in women’s hockey, which was essentially the prize for being best of the rest after the dominating duo of the U.S. and Canada. Finland hadn’t won a medal since taking bronze when women’s hockey debuted at the 1998 Winter Olympics. The Finns celebrated as it they’d won gold, throwing their gear and sharing a group hug. Sweden’s goalie stood frozen in front of her net, watching it all. There’s such a drop after the top two teams that there’s been speculation about women’s hockey being cut from the Olympics. Unlikely, says IOC president Jacques Rogge, adding that the spot will get another Winter Games or two for the rest of the world to catch up. “Women’s hockey is a growing sport,” Rogge said. “There is no doubt that in the future wom-

Alex Medvedev said he met three times in Vancouver with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. Bettman is concerned about shutting down the NHL season during the Olympics. He also has doubts about an Olympics in which the hockey would be played at a time when many North American fans would be asleep. ——— V A N C O U V E R : LUGER’S LEGACY IOC president Jacques Rogge says the death of a Georgian luger will forever be associated with the Vancouver Games, just as

the slaying of Israeli athletes remains a legacy of the Munich Olympics. Rogge said the IOC accepted a “moral responsibility” for the tragedy but not any legal responsibility. “There will always be risk in sport, but it has to be reasonable and the athletes take a lot of risk themselves,” he said. He also expects Russian organizers to make sure the sliding track is safe for the 2014 Sochi Games. “The IOC has been very clear in saying to the Russians: Please deliver us a track that will not be hazardous,” Rogge said. ——— CURLING It’ll be Sweden vs. Canada in the women’s finals. The defending gold medalists from Sweden KO’d the reigning world champion Chinese in one semifinal, and the hosts took out Switzerland on a late shot.

ing tonight’s game is that same Science Hill team easily handled SCHS twice this season — by an average of nearly 18 points. For the Bearettes to be competitive with the Vikings, they need guards Jaisa Moritz and Carly Pippin to be hitting on all cylinders. With Moritz bombing away from the outside and Pippin slashing to the basket and mixing in a few jumpers, the Bearettes could make it interesting.

miles to his fastball. He’s throwing the ball low-tomid 80s, with a good curveball and a good changeup. We’re just excited he gets a chance to go play at the next level,” Norman said. Weaver started his baseball journey like most Eagles — at Bower Field. “I’ve played at Bower since T-ball, I pretty much grew up at Bower. I love the game of baseball,” Weaver said. From Bower he progressed under coach Doug Newport, and then

with the Seymour Middle School program, before joining the team at SHS, where he’s been varsity since 10th grade. An all-district selection in 2009, Weaver is poised for a big spring with the Eagles this year. “Signing early takes a lot

of pressure off,” Norman said. “He can go in an focus. I think he’s going to be a workhorse for us this year, he’s going to play some first and DH some. He’s got some pop in his bat.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

NFL puttin more emphasis on head injuries at this year’s pro combine By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS — The focus on head injuries in pro football is turning to this year’s potential draft picks. For the first time, all 329 invited players at this week’s NFL scouting combine will be given a baseline brain activity exam — called the ImPACT test — and will likely face more grilling than previous classes did about their concussion histories. Those implementing the changes call it smart football. “We’re testing everybody, not just at-risk athletes who have had more than one concussion,� said Dr. Art Rettig, an orthopedic surgeon at Methodist Sports Medicine in Indianapolis, which runs the medical part of the combine. “Everybody will have this ImPACT test so they will have a baseline, and whatever team they end up with will be sent that baseline information.� That hasn’t been standard operating procedure in past years, though all 32 teams individually now use similar tests on their own. Doctors compare pre-injury and post-injury answers to determine whether a player can safely return from a head injury. By testing everyone at the combine, the league will have a more standardized way of evaluating players and potentially collecting

For the first time, all 329 invited players at this week’s NFL scouting combine will be given a baseline brain activity exam. data about repeated hits to the head. It’s the latest step in a movement that started to gain momentum last season, particularly after a study for the league by researchers at the University of Michigan found retired players may have a higher-than-normal rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other memory problems. The league has since adopted stricter policies on allowing players to return to the field after big collisions. Lawmakers in Congress and state legislatures also have jumped into the discussion, and the NCAA is considering additional ways to reduce head injuries in football. On Wednesday, the league’s competition committee heard presentations about helmet designs that could reduce the risk of head injuries. No decisions are expected before next month’s owner’s meeting. “We have to admit, this is a tough game, a violent game, a collision game,� said John Madden, a Hall of Fame coach, former television analyst and now a consultant to the NFL. “How do we make it safer? We have to educate players and coaches and trainers, equipment is another way and rules changes are another way. But it can’t be just any one of those

things. It has to be all of them together.� The message seems to be getting through. On Thursday, NFL Players Association representatives met with the competition committee to discuss possible rules changes along with the possibility of limiting offseason workouts and contact at practices. Nobody is yet saying how much contact could be scaled back. As for rules changes, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell used the example of expanding the definition of a defenseless receiver. One possibility would be giving receivers more than the current two steps before they are considered a runner. Though Goodell wants to adopt new safety measures quickly, finding agreement may be tricky. “We showed them (players) some videos of things we think could be taken out and it’s not universal,� Goodell said. “It’s about how we define the rule and then how do we teach it.� With management and labor may disagree about specifics, the union also is studying the issue.

ucts and services to make the game safer. Later that evening, team doctors will have their annual scientific meeting to discuss better treatments for players. Part of the discussion, Rettig said, will focus on head injuries. Rettig, the Colts team physician, and other doctors will spend four days poking and prodding players to make sure teams are investing in athletes with a clean bill of health — and that goes beyond brain trauma. After Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died in January from a heart attack, there is also renewed interest in cardiology issues. “Invariably we have one or two players that are found to have (medical) conditions that are not reported, that are lifethreatening in some cases,� Colts president Bill Polian said. But all players could face new rounds of questioning during the 15-minute team interviews. Traditionally, decisionmakers such as Polian and Minnesota’s Rick Spielman have used the allotted time to measure football aptitude, whether it’s through questions and answers or psychological tests. This year, the expanded discussions may include head injuries.

Health summit: Heated talk, little agreement WASHINGTON (AP) — With tempers flaring, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans clashed in an extraordinary live-on-TV summit Thursday over the right prescription for the nation’s broken health care system, talking of agreement but holding to longentrenched positions that leave them far apart. “We have a very difficult gap to bridge here,� said Rep. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican. “We just can’t afford this. That’s the ultimate problem.� With Cantor sitting in front of a giant stack of nearly 2,400 pages representing the Democrats’ Senate-passed bill, Obama said cost is a legitimate question, but he took Cantor and other Republicans to task for using political shorthand and props “that prevent us from having a conversation.�

And so it went, hour after hour at Blair House, just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House — a marathon policy debate available from start to finish to a divided public. The more than six-hour backand-forth was essentially a condensed, one-day version of the entire past year of debate over the nation’s health care crisis, with all its heat, complexity and detail, and a crash course in the partisan divide, in which Democrats seek the kind of broad remake that has eluded leaders for half a century and Republicans favor much more modest changes. With Democrats in control of the White House and Congress, they were left with the critical decision about where to go next. Obama and his Democratic allies argued at Thursday’s meeting that a broad overhaul is imperative for the nation’s future economic vitality. The president

cast health care as “one of the biggest drags on our economy,� tying his top domestic priority to an issue that’s even more pressing to many Americans. “This is the last chance, as far as I’m concerned,� Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y. Obama lamented partisan bickering that has resulted in a stalemate over legislation to extend coverage to more than 30 million people who are now uninsured. “Politics I think ended up trumping practical common sense,� he said. And yet, even as he pleaded for cooperation — “actually a discussion, and not just us trading talking points� — he insisted on a number of Democratic points and acknowledged agreement may not be possible. “I don’t know that those gaps can be bridged,� Obama said. With hardened positions well staked out before the meeting,

the president and his Democratic allies prepared to move on alone — a gamble with political risks no matter how they do that. One option — preferred by the White House and progressives in the Democratic caucus — is to try to pass a comprehensive plan without GOP support, by using controversial Senate budget reconciliation rules that would disallow filibusters. GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander asked Democrats to swear off a jam-it-through approach, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., defended it. Obama weighed in with gentle chiding, asking both sides to focus on substance and worry about process later — a plea he made repeatedly throughout the day with little success. A USA Today/Gallup survey released Thursday found Americans tilt 49-42 against Democrats forging ahead by themselves without any GOP

support. Opposition was even stronger to the idea of Senate Democrats using the special budget rules, with 52 percent opposed and 39 percent in favor. A second alternative for Obama and his party is going smaller, with a modest bill that would merely smooth some of the rough edges from the current system. A month after the Massachusetts election that cost Democrats their Senate supermajority and threw the health legislation in doubt, the White House has developed its own slimmed-down health care proposal so the president will know what the impact would be if he chooses that route, according to a Democratic official familiar with the discussions. That official could not provide details, but Democrats have looked at approaches including expanding Medicaid and allowing children to stay on their parents’ health plans until around age 26.

Wind could be the real HEVROLET concern in Northeast VOLUNTEER CHEVROLET

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Another big, powerful snowstorm barreled into the winter-weary Northeast on Thursday, disrupting flights, closing schools and threatening high winds late in the day that could team up with the wet, heavy snow to topple trees and power lines. The storm was expected to drop at least 8 inches of snow over much of the region and linger more than 24 hours, meaning more headaches Friday. More snow is predicted for much of the region Saturday, too. The National Weather Service put much of the East Coast under wind advisories and warnings from 4 p.m. Thursday until as late as 7 a.m. Friday. The agency warned that winds could blow steadily between 20 and 30 mph in some areas, with gusts of 55 mph or higher in coastal and mountainous areas. Even coastal New England, which was seeing rain but nothing like the 18 inches of snow expected in some parts of northern New Jersey and upstate New York, was under coastal flood watches because of the wind. By late morning, the weather service station in Mount Holly, N.J., reported the strongest scattered gusts so far — a not-so-damaging 25 mph — with snow totals in the 2-inch range. While forecasters can predict the snow totals and what that will mean — slippery roads, a snow day for the kids — it’s trickier to know whether winds might create havoc. “Your tree may fall down; your neighbor’s may not,� said Kristina Pydynowski, a meteorologist for AccuWeather, a private forecasting company in State College, Pa. She said dense, wet snow weighing down trees would make it more likely for strong winds to knock them down. And power will probably be hardest to restore in areas where heavy snow keeps repair crews at bay. In upstate New York, the dangers are well understood. In a storm hit the area with up to 2 feet of snow on Wednesday, some 150,000 homes and businesses lost power. By late Thursday morning, 60,000 customers were still without power, mostly in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills. A pair of blizzards this month in New Jersey each knocked out 80,000 to 90,000 customers, mostly on the $2,500 shore. Public Service Electric and Gas Co. in New Jersey had mos. wac extra crews and supplies ready in case power lines sh start coming down $ this week.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Trainers will continue working with a killer whale that grabbed one of their colleagues and dragged her underwater, killing her, but SeaWorld said Thursday it is reviewing its procedures. People lined up to get into the park a day after the whale named Tilikum killed veteran trainer Dawn Brancheau as a horrified audience watched. Tilikum had been involved in two previous deaths, including a Canadian trainer dragged under water by him and two others whales in 1991. Killer whale shows are suspended indefinitely in Orlando and at the park’s San Diego location. “We have every intention of continuing to interact with this animal, though the procedures for working with him will change,� SeaWorld said in a post on its blog. Chuck Tompkins, who is in charge of training at all SeaWorld parks, said Thursday that Tilikum will not be isolated from the Orlando location’s seven other whales. Tilikum fathered some of them and will continue mating with others. “We want him to continue to be part of that social group,� Tompkins said. Trainers will review safety procedures and change them as needed, but Tompkins said he doesn’t expect the killer whale shows to be much different. Brancheau, 40, was rubbing Tilikum from a poolside platform when the 22-foot, 12,000-pound creature reached up, grabbed her long braid in its mouth and dragged her underwater. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that trainers trying to help her could not get into the water because Tilikum was so aggressive. They had to coax him into a smaller pool and raise him out of the water on a platform before they could free her. She likely died from multiple traumatic injuries and drowning, the medical examiner’s office said. Horrified visitors who had stuck around after a noontime show watched Tilikum charge through the pool with Brancheau in his jaws. Tompkins said the whale was lying in front of Brancheau when her braid swung in front of him and he apparently grabbed onto it. “We like to think we know 99.9 percent of the time what an animal is doing,� he told The Associated Press on Thursday. “But this is one of those times we just don’t know.� Kelly Vickery, 24, of Tallahassee was at the noon show Wednesday and said the whales seemed to be acting odd, swimming around the tank rapidly. Trainers said the whales “were having an off day, that they were being ornery,� she said. Tompkins disputed that, saying nothing seemed abnormal. Vickery returned Thursday with her sons so they could see the areas of the park they had missed a day earlier, though she acknowledged being there felt “weird� a day after the tragedy.

Range Cooking

Rollins helps keep chuckwagons on the front burner By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Growing up on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma, Kent Rollins has consumed more than his fair share of chuckwagon-prepared meals. Some were better than others. These days, he’s the one preparing the meals for cowboys, executives and everyday people as he travels the United States and beyond sharing the stories and heritage of an integral part of the cowboy way of life. Rollins is in Pigeon Forge this week preparing dutch oven meals for hundreds of people during the annual Saddle Up! celebration. He prepared a meal for Smith Family Theater’s Chuckwagon Dinner Show on Thursday and will be on hand for Saturday’s Buckaroo Roundup and Pigeon Forge Lodging Association Chuckwagon Cookoff Lunch at Clabough’s Campground on Wears Valley Road. Rollins learned the dos and don’ts of dutch oven cooking from eating the meals on the trail and from his own mother. “I’ve been a ranching cowboy all my life,” Rollins said. “I had the privilege of working with a lot of old-timers who stood tall as giants.” While working on the ranch, he would always eat what was put in front of him. “You never complained about ranch cooking,” he said, one reason being it might be your turn to cook next. While shared his thoughts with his dad a time or two about the quality of a meal, he knew better than to share those thoughts with the cook. Rollins said the chuckwagon was “really invented after the Civil War,” when people started settling in the western half of the United States. A high demand for beef meant the ranchers had to find a way to get the cattle to railheads to be shipped off to cattle yards. Driving 3,000 to 4,000 head of longhorns took days and even weeks, during which time the cowboys had to be fed. “It was the first meals-on-wheels program ever invented,” Rollins said. Back in those days, the meals wouldn’t have been very good — beans, cornbread and jerky, Rollins said, could make up the daily menu. They didn’t eat any beef, he said, unless something happened to one of the cows they were moving up the trail. But a dutch oven can cook anything you would make in a regular oven. His favorites include bread pudding with whisky sauce, and steak. “My mother taught me to cook when I was 7 or 8,” he said. He bought a chuckwagon in 1992 and started cooking three square meals a day for 12 to 15 cowboys. Rollins harnessed mules to his wagon and would move it 7 to 8 miles down the trail every day to start all over again the next day. He then started cooking for elk hunters in New Mexico and then began catering meals and competing in cookoffs. “I’ve been everywhere from British Columbia to Tampa Bay doing it,” he

He continues to work on ranches in the spring and fall during roundups for vaccinations and weaning. That requires planning a menu for three weeks worth of meals and then making the grocery list to get the supplies they need. “It looks worse than the menu,” he said of the long list of foods needed to stock up for a three-week trip, 40 miles from the closest town. “That’s a long time, and you get to thinking, you ain’t going to the store so it has got to be right,” Rollins said. After 20 years of cooking on a chuckwagon, Rollins said he’s got it down like clockwork. The largest group he’s ever fed was 3,000 strong, and he’s never made anyone wait for the dinner.

“In 20 years I’ve never been late,” he said. “It will happen one of these days, but I’ve always been on time.” He’ll also change up his menus every now and then, adding new dishes to the old favorite, or just giving the latter a rest now and then. “Last year I served 15,000, 16,000 people off wagon,” he said. Serving that many people peach cobbler can make a man never want to see peach cobbler again. Sometimes a change in menu is simply a result of working with the ingredients he has on hand, such as a blueberry cream cheese turnover he once made, “just because I had some stuff left over and didn’t know what to do with it.” See Rollins, Page B2

Library schedules gaming programs

Encourage one another to achieve your very best I take a hands-on, special interest in every organization with whom I am involved as a speaker, trainer or consultant. I want to make sure that what I say and do is relevant and on target for the group. As you might imagine, however, I take a very special interest in one of the groups with whom I work on a regular basis, ClaimCare Medical Billing Services. My son Carl II is the CEO. Recently, Carl II contacted me for some input on a Management Performance Survey for his employees in multiple locations. The opening lines of the survey read, “As ClaimCare continues to grow, change and improve, it is vital for us to engage in a stateof-the-art performance evaluation program for all personnel. Therefore, as a follow-up to the recent employee performance reviews, the goal of this online survey is to ask employees to provide anonymous feedback on the ClaimCare senior management team. As CEO, I am interested in learning your views on the strengths and weaknesses of our leadership.� I share this with my readers to remind you of how important it is for every leadership team member and every employee to never forget that the only long-term competitive advantage for any organization is the collective brain power, passion and work ethic of its people. Organizations cannot win unless there is intelligence, appropriate technical and people skills and a commitment to excellence on the part of everyone in the organization. Coaches don’t win alone and players don’t win alone. They must all buy in to what they are doing and must buy in to each other. General Alexander Suvorov, a 17th century Russian field marshal, never lost a battle, even against numerically superior opponents. He authored a famous manual, “The Science of Victory,� in which he said the enlisted soldier was the foundation of his success. Even though he respected his front line people, he trained them hard, telling them, “What is difficult in training will become easy in battle.� His soldiers adored him because they knew he cared for them, prepared

them and expected excellence from them — for their sake as well as his. He joked with them, called them “brothers,â€? solicited their input, while always expecting their very best and accepting nothing less. Because of his high standards and his dedication to soldiers who worked to live up to such standards, Suvorov’s people were committed to him and his objectives. Suvorov knew the importance of his followers being resourceful, and he recognized the need of providing training in the areas that would help them make better decisions and be more effective in action. He also realized the need for his followers to maintain an optimistic outlook, which required him to establish a positive vision of the future — for the organization, the soldiers and their families. He demonstrated consideration for his followers by being committed to excellence. In turn, they demonstrated commitment to the organization. Whether you are trying to increase your effectiveness as a leader or as an important team member, study the characteristics of people who have come before you and have done well. Just as Carl II sees the importance of regular performance evaluations for the personnel and management of ClaimCare, it behooves any organization of any type for the leaders to encourage personnel and for the personnel to encourage leaders to perform at their very best and never become satisfied with anything less.

Advice

Learn to cope with alcoholic sister and family’s denial

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I adore my husband of 20 years, and we have the best kids on earth. The problem? My parents. My older sister is divorced and has several small children. She is also an alcoholic and a horribly toxic person. In the past few years, “Hettie” has pulled several stunts where her drinking has put herself and her children in extreme danger. She insists she is sober, but I know from several reliable sources that she is not. She won’t admit that her cheating and drinking drove her husband away, and she has my parents snowed into thinking it was all his fault. She swindled her ex and my parents out of enough money to net her a nice income, yet she twists everything so that she comes out the victim. I do not allow my teenagers to baby-sit for her or get in her car because she allows strange men in her home and drives drunk. She only calls when she wants something, and if I don’t drop everything (I work full time), she screams at me. My parents believe I am a horrible person because I don’t buy in to Hettie’s lies or give her money. I’ve tried to help in the past, and it brought nothing but trouble. She is a mean, lying drunk. My parents say I need to look past this because she is “family.” I cannot deal with the drama anymore. I am cordial to Hettie, but won’t make her our charity poster child like my parents do. I have done my best, but I am still the “disappointing daughter.” Last year, their intense disap-

proval sent me into the hospital with a major anxiety attack. Talking to them doesn’t help. This is breaking my heart. — Refuse to be an Enabler Dear Refuse: Your parents have blinders on when it comes to Hettie. Accepting that she is a “mean, lying drunk” makes them fear it’s their fault, and that is why they blame you instead. You cannot change the way they think, but you can change how you deal with it. If you need help, get some counseling to learn better coping skills. Dear Annie: I have repeatedly told my daughter to remove her things from my home because we no longer have room for them, but it does no good. We plan on moving soon and cannot take along 10 boxes of our daughter’s books and clothes. She lives out of the country and visits two or three times a year. Each time she visits, she buys more than she can possibly take back and leaves the rest here. It is prohibitively expensive to ship boxes of books to her. What do we do? — Out-of-Space Mom Dear Mom: Notify your daughter that you will pack up her things and put them in a storage facility for six months or until her next visit, whichever comes first. After that, you will stop paying storage fees. She

can then decide whether she wants to keep paying the fees herself, ship the items to her current location, sell them or make other arrangements that don’t involve you. The important thing is that you stick to your guns. Dear Annie: “Might As Well Be Single” said her husband couldn’t hold on to a job. Thank you for mentioning the possibility that he is suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder. The fact that he has had many jobs could mean he is making an effort to be employed. I am 70 years old. I had job and school problems all my life and only recently discovered that I have ADD. I always managed to make a decent living, but might have done a lot better had I known earlier what I was up against. And my wife would have had a happier life. — Wish I’d Known Dear Wish: ADD was not a realistic diagnosis when you were younger, but we’re glad you know now. To our Baha’i Readers: Happy Ayyam-i-Ha.
