SEVIERVILLE — The Women’s Care Center has seen a lot of changes in its 20 years. “We’ve gone from being a crisis pregnancy center to more of a resource pregnancy center,” Director Debbie Norris said. “We even have men who come for (baby) clothing or other resources like grief counseling after abortion. It’s neat that they’re not intimidated to come here.” The center will host a fundraising banquet celebrating its 20th anniversary at 6 p.m. March 18 at Wood Grill Buffet in Pigeon Forge. Marc Newman, founder and president of Frontline Communication Services and a pro-life supporter, will be guest speaker. The Women’s Care Center began in 1990 when a pastor and his wife opened their home to women in need. The faith-based ministry has since grown to two part-time staffers and eight trained volunteers, along with a board of directors. Last year, the center saw 945 clients, ages 13-47, and also helped

Its mission is to “seek to empower clients to make the best life-affirming choices they can for their reproductive health, lifestyle, family life and future.” “The center has really helped me personally in my life,” Norris said. “A lot of women who come here have rough family lives and don’t have the confidence to be moms — I was probably one of

those women. The center encouraged me and gave me a lot of emotional support.” If a client has a negative pregnancy test result and is not married, center volunteers discuss with them risk factors and the benefits of abstinence until marriage. “At least 50 percent of our clients are not married, so this is discussed a lot at the cenSee center, Page A5

A section of Ridge Road between Park Road and Candy Tuft Drive will remain closed perhaps for months, as the city of Sevierville tries to find the best way to repair it.

SEVIERVILLE — It will be weeks, maybe even months, before a section of Ridge Road can reopen, a city spokesman said Wednesday. The road has been closed between Park Road and Candy Tuft Drive since early February, after what was described as an underground mudslide left a large crack in the road. City spokesman Bob Stahlke said at that time that the “best case scenario” for the road to reopen was two to three weeks. He explained Wednesday that the city’s first option for resolving the problem apparently didn’t work. City personnel installed a drainage ditch along the See road, Page A4

McCord won’t seek re-election to state House By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer NASHVILLE — After almost 12 years in the Tennessee House of Representatives, Joe McCord announced Wednesday he has decided not to run for a seventh term, instead choosing to dedicate his time to his family. McCord, R-Maryville, has represented the 8th District, covering Blount and Sevier counties, in the General Assembly since 1998, taking office at the same time as Rep. Richard Montgomery,

R-Sevierville. T h o u g h Montgomery has decided to run in the August state elections, McCord said he feels the “time is right” for him to move back McCord into the private sector. “As my role has increased over the years, so has the amount of dedication to fill that role,” McCord said, pointing out his daughter was only 3 and his son

had just been born when he was elected. “With a fixed amount of time, we constantly juggle the roles of family, work and governing. All of those roles have increased in demand over the years and I cannot continue to do them all the justice they deserve, so I must prioritize.” McCord, 40, thanked his family for the “sacrifices (that) have been made by all over the years,” while saying he’s ready to stop asking them to make those sacrifices for now. He went on to jokingly reassure that he’s not

using the typical line of “I want to spend more time with my family” that has become go-to line for many politicians looking to get out of uncomfortable situations. “There isn’t anything scandalous. It’s not like the governor of New York,” he said, referencing that state’s recent troubles at the top that included the resignation of a leader who admitted he had an affair with a call girl.

Waring candidate for commission Local business Leonard Waring has announced his candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, 4th District, Seat C, in the May 4 Republican Primary. Waring moved to Sevier County in 1973. “Like other students, I worked in tourism in Gatlinburg. During the first winter I worked at a Pearl Valley sawmill and helped build a house. I rented a small home in the Glades from Joyce and Porter Franklin for $60 a month,â€? he said. “When spring arrived I probably owed them $300. It took half the summer to pay them back.

Along the way I worked as a photographer, newspaper ad sales, cut tobacco, put up Waring hay, cooked hamburgers, washed dishes, built houses, sold real estate, coached Little League, built sports facilities at two of the county high schools, developed subdivisions, business parks, built banks, restaurants, medical offices and learned to love the people of Sevier County.â€?

Waring said he is a candidate for commissioner “to give back and work for our neighbors in the 4th District. “We must make hard decisions in our county during the next four years. Our economy has slowed for the first time that many can remember. Our tax revenues will be less and our expenses will continue. We must be creative to fund all our county services and continue to upgrade and improve our successful education system. “I faced challenges through the years and am facing them now like most

in the construction business. They have prepared me to respond in a positive way to these hard decisions. With so many people working hard to meet their obligations and take care of their families, we need to encourage the creation of jobs in any way possible. Knowing that most jobs come from small business we can work to make starting and growing a small business a priority,� he said. “The 4th District contains businesses from tourism to farming. With my past experiences I can fairly represent the varied interests in our district,� he said.

Davis-Mary seeking county post Submitted report Gerra Davis-Mary announces her candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, 9th District. Davis-Mary, who resides on Knob Creek Road, said she decided to run after becoming involved with several issues surrounding the Seymour community and Sevier County. The retired nurse and administrator said she feels it is time Seymour has its voice heard in the commission. “We have had several issues in this community revolving around zoning where the objections of the citizens of Seymour have fall-

en on deaf ears,� said Davis-Mary. “I want to work to help make the changes that the people of Seymour Davis-Mary want, and to show that Seymour is every bit as important to Sevier county as Gatlinburg, Sevierville or Pigeon Forge. “The issue at hand right now is: How do we protect the integrity of Seymour through proper zoning while allowing for responsible growth? There have been far to many instances where

the County Commission has allowed land to be rezoned, without public discourse, in favor of the owner regardless of what adverse effects it will have on our community. It is time that we in the Seymour community take a look at our future and decide what is best for us, our children and our grandchildren rather than what is best for the developers.� The retired director of Hospital Affiliate Services for UT Medical Center said, “My profession of nursing has given me the heart for caring and helping others. It has also given me the opportunity to use and develop my organizational

skills and administrative skills. These will serve me well if I am elected to represent you as our county commissioner.â€? Davis-Mary has been married to her husband Ben for 51 years and is a member of Sevier Heights Baptist Church. She has three children and eight grandchildren, including two who attend Seymour community schools. She is the granddaughter of Long John Davis and Lennie Davis and the daughter of Harry and Wilma Davis, all lifelong members of the Seymour community. The primary election will take place on May 4.

A federal grand jury has returned a superseding indictment against four members of a Sevier County family on charges related to income tax issues. Kevin M. Flannery, 63, Margaret A. Flannery, 61, and Keith M. Flannery, 41, all of Gatlinburg, and Melissa A. Flannery, 39, of Sevierville are charged with one count of conspiracy to impede the lawful government functions of the Internal Revenue Service. The maximum penalty is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Additionally, Kevin Flannery was charged with three counts of filing false income tax returns, and his wife, Margaret Flannery, was charged with four counts of filing false income tax returns. The maximum penalty on each of these counts is up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Their indictment comes eight months after a Sevier County grand jury indicted Kevin Flannery and Margaret Flannery on state tax evasion charges. According to the indictment, from 2001 until late 2006, the Flannerys conspired to obstruct or impair the IRS. The indictment says X.M.K.M. Enterprises Inc., doing business as Famous Fries, and M.K.M.K. Associates Inc., doing business as Southland Car and Jeep Rental, were both family-run businesses operating in Gatlinburg. The indictment alleges that Kevin, Margaret and Melissa Flannery maintained two sets of books and records for Southland Car and Jeep Rental and Famous Fries. For each business, one set of books contained income schedules of the actual gross income, and the other set of books contained fabricated gross income figures, which severely underreported the business’s gross income, officials said. The indictment says the first sets of books were kept at Kevin and Margaret Flannery’s home for their personal use so they would know the true financial condition of the businesses. The second sets of books, which contained false income figures for the businesses, were provided to the defendants’ accountants, the indictment alleges. The indictment charges that Kevin Flannery filed false corporate income tax returns for M.K.M.K. Associates for tax years 2002, 2003 and 2005. Margaret Flannery was charged with filing false corporate income tax returns for X.M.K.M. Enterprises for tax years 2002 through 2005. The indictment alleges that these corporate tax returns significantly underreported the corporations’ gross receipts or sales in each year. A Tennessee Department of Revenue investigation in 2009 led to the arrests in July of Kevin Flannery and Margaret Flannery on charges of sales tax evasion. The Flannerys were arrested at their home in Gatlinburg after being indicted by a Sevier County Grand Jury. Kevin Flannery was charged with 21 felony counts of not paying motor vehicle rental surcharges. Margaret Flannery was indicted on 45 felony counts of sales tax fraud.

BOMA wants public input on road Lonesome Valley Road faces a redesign plan By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen will let the public sound off on plans to relocate a portion of Lonesome Valley Road before taking its first vote on the matter. The board was scheduled to review first reading of an ordinance to close part of the heavily traveled side road as part of a development group’s plans for the area. The Soggy Bottom Boys Partnership, which lists an Alcoa address, owns all the property where the road would be moved. The group wants to move the road away from the Little Pigeon River so it

can build along the water. Engineer Gary Norvell, who represents the partnership, said he believes the redesigned road would be an improvement over the current path. The partnership would pay for the changes, but because it’s a public road, the city still must approve its relocation. Alderman Jerry Loveday asked the board to take the unusual step of holding a public hearing before voting on the matter, meaning the board won’t vote on it at all until at least its next regular meeting March 15. “I think it’s a worthwhile project, but I understand there have already been calls about it,” Loveday said. The planning commission has already reviewed the proposal and recommended it to the board. Mayor Bryan Atchley said most of the calls he knew about had been

inquiries, rather than people calling in opposition to the plan. He recommended the developers speak to the people who live or own property along the road to show them the plan. Atchley has said he believes relocating the road will relieve flooding and other problems along the route. Loveday noted the road is used by some people cutting from the Parkway to Chapman Highway; he said there may be other residents who want to voice their opinions on the changes. They will get their chance during the public forum at the board’s 7 p.m. March 15 session. Because the board didn’t vote on the issue Monday, it will vote on first and second readings on March 15. If it’s approved, that will leave it on schedule for final approval April 5. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Planners to review Lonesome Valley plan today By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Planning Commission will review the preliminary plan today at 5 p.m. for the relocation of Lonesome Valley Road. At its last meeting, the commission approved a design for the road relocation; at its regular meeting today it will consider the plat for the land, which is being developed by the Soggy Bottom Boys Partnership.

sloped side of the road to try to solve the problem of water going under the hill, but that doesn’t appear to have worked as well as they hoped. “That was going to be the most efficient and least expensive method to solve the situation if it would work,� he said. “They did make those drainage improvements, and part of the process after installing it is to monitor it with a peizometer, an instrument that will measure water

levels.� The city had moved its equipment after finishing the work and awaiting the measurements from the peizometer, he said. Unfortunately, city officials don’t feel the drainage ditch lowered the underground water level to a safe measure. They plan to meet with a geotechnical engineer Friday to review other options. “I would think that we’re still looking at weeks for sure, and maybe months (before the road reopens),� he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

fident they’re ready to grow here. “We are looking to expand what we’re doing in Sevier County,� Reagan said. “We’re very interested in growing our presence there and we are looking at our options for doing that.� The university is waiting to hear back from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accrediting agency that oversees local educators, on whether it will be allowed to hold master’s-level education classes, Reagan said. If that approval is secured, those programs would be the first offerings at any local campus. That expansion would require more space and, though Reagan said LMU has “greatly appreciated� its partnership with WSCC, it seems to college officials to be the right time to find their own building here. “The city and the county have been approached about the possibility of putting a facility here,� Newton said. “We are looking at that now and discussing it with the folks from LMU. I think we’re very interested in looking to work with LMU.� The talks have gone far enough that county officials have been considering properties where the building might be put up, with the most viable option seeming to be the site of the nearly completed King Family Library in Sevierville. “There a lot of different sites that could work, but we think the library could be a great asset for the students,� Newton said. “We are in the process of figuring out how it would work to build it on the library site. We’ve

looked at what the footprint might look like and how it would work with parking and things like that.� Additionally, both sides are weighing their options on how the project will be funded, though both Reagan and Newton seemed to indicate there could be public dollars put toward it. “We don’t believe it will cost the people a lot and we think this would be a great opportunity,� Reagan said. “We are looking at any opportunity (the city and county) would be willing to offer.� Apparently one option being considered is having the county build the facility, then transfer it to LMU. “That is something they have suggested,� Newton said. “The funding is still up in the air, though.� It’s not uncommon for local governments to complete such a deal, building a facility to specifications set forth by a private entity then selling or leasing the space to that group. The technique is sometimes used to entice new businesses or industries to come into an area, Newton said. Both Newton and Reagan credited Sevier County resident and Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Gary Wade with spearheading the effort. “Gary Wade has taken a great interest in this project,� Newton said. “He believes, like we do, that it would be good for all of Sevier County.�

Man, woman, jailed after Seymour robbery By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEYMOUR — A man and a woman are in jail facing robbery charges after they threatened to shoot a Seymour man before stealing a pack of cigarettes containing his prescription pills. Emergency officials were called to The Stables, a mobile home development off Boyds Creek Highway, early Wednesday evening to respond to the incident. According to Sheriff Ron Seals, a male and female were pulled over and arrested a short time later by the Knoxville Police Department. The two people, whose names weren’t available at press time, allegedly approached the victim while he was standing in his yard and asked for a cigarette. As he brought the pack out, he told authori-

ties they noticed the collection of his daily pills he keeps with his smokes and demanded he hand them over. “The alleged victim apparently reached into the car (and attempted to get the keys),� Seals said. “He said the man had his hand in his coat or something and he was saying, ‘Don’t make me do this,’ and told him he had a gun.� The couple reportedly left the scene in a red Mitsubishi Eclipse and law enforcement officials in the area were told to watch out for the car. When it was stopped across the county line, no weapon was found, Seals said. “They’re bringing them over here and they’ll probably be charged with simple robbery since it seems like there wasn’t actually a gun involved,� Seals said. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

nation briefs ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ pilot retires

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Captain Chesley “Sully� Sullenberger has flown his final flight. The pilot who landed a US Airways plane safely on the Hudson River last January said Wednesday he is retiring after 30 years and plans to spend some of his time pressing for more flight safety. The 59-year-old Sullenberger joined US Airways’ predecessor airline in 1980. His final flight, number 1167 from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to his base at Charlotte (N.C.) Douglas International Airport took just under two hours. It arrived at 2:48 p.m. EST — 17 minutes ahead of schedule. Sullenberger flew on Wednesday with his co-pilot during the Hudson landing, First Officer Jeff Skiles.

Rangel gives up chairmanship

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Rep. Charles Rangel temporarily stepped aside as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday as he struggled with mounting ethics woes that left his political future uncertain at best. Rangel’s decision cheered Democrats who feared political fallout affecting their own futures, but did little to satisfy Republicans who had been seeking a formal vote bringing about his temporary removal from the chairmanship. The 20-term congressman has played a key role in President Barack Obama’s attempts to win passage of historic health care legislation. Veteran Rep. Fortney “Pete� Stark of California, the senior Democrat on the panel, will serve as acting chairman.

ACS casts doubt on prostate tests ATLANTA (AP) — Months after experts discounted the importance of routine mammograms and Pap smears for many women, the American Cancer Society is warning more explicitly than ever that regular testing for prostate cancer is of questionable value too, and can do men more harm than good. The cancer society has not recommended routine screening for most men since the mid-1990s, and that

including fighting last year to save tourism advertising dollars that had come up on the chopping block, Montgomery said his colleague’s absence will be felt in the General Assembly. “We’re going to miss Joe. He’s a tremendous asset for Sevier County and the district,� Montgomery said. “I certainly understand his decision, though. He’s a young man and he needs to make a living and he wants to spend time with his family.� Though Montgomery praised McCord for “being able to build really good relationships,� he hasn’t made a friend of everyone he met in Nashville.

ter,� she said. “We are in the process of rolling out a program called ‘Healthy Relationships,’ which helps show the need for marriage in our society and how the lack of marriage damages the future of children, family and our society as a whole. “There is a great need for this program in our community but it is not the most popular topic, so we continue to incorporate tools from the program (such as questionnaires) to engage the client in learning what a healthy relationship looks like.� The center also has an “Earn While You Learn� program that offers parenting education and information — and “Baby Bucks� — for clients willing to watch a video at the center and do extra work.

is not changing. But the organization is urging doctors to talk frankly with their patients about the risks and limitations of the PSA blood test when offering it. Two big studies last year suggested prostate cancer screening doesn’t necessarily save lives, and any benefits can come at a high price. The widely used PSA test often spots cancers too slow-growing to be deadly. It can yield false-positive

readings that result in unnecessary biopsies. And it can lead to treatments that can cause impotence and incontinence. “We had a revolution� when PSA tests became available and prostate cancer screenings kicked into high gear, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer society’s deputy chief medical officer. “Now we’re having an evolution. We’re learning more about what PSA really tells us.�

times for his stands against tightening environmental protection laws. That made it harder for those who butted heads with him to understand why he was appointed his fellow Republicans to serve as chairman of the House Conservation and Environment Committee, and Wildlife Subcommittee. In addition to those posts, he held seats on the Calendar & Rules, Commerce and Ethics committees; Environment and Industrial Impact subcommittees; and the select joint committees on Corrections and Workers Compensation. Neither McCord nor Montgomery put forward any names of folks that they think might or should run for the seat, though each expects there might be a heated fight for the open position. “I’m sure there are some people who will look at this situation and may be interested,� Montgomery said. “I’d love to see somebody in

Sevier County pick up and run in that race. Then we might have two representatives from Sevier County down here.� While McCord said the decision to leave the job was difficult, it was made easier by the fact three other incumbent local lawmakers, including Montgomery, are running for re-election. “This is a good time for transition to occur,� McCord said. “We have a good legislative team in Blount and Sevier County, and it works well together. Rep. Richard Montgomery, Rep. Bob Ramsey and Sen. Doug Overbey will be here to help a new freshman member learn the process. This communication and oversight will guarantee the needs and interests of Blount and Sevier counties will be met as we go into the legislative redistricting process.� The states are set to redraw the maps establishing their Congressional districts next

Norris added that the center often refers clients to other community resources, such as SafeSpace and Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries. “They do the same thing for us,� she said. “It’s nice to see the organizations working together.� The center has outgrown its small historic house at the corner of Eastgate and Park Road, and its volunteers are in the process of looking for something bigger. “We’re searching for funding, but we’re grateful we have this place,� Norris said. The center’s “Bottles for Babies� fundraiser kickoff is coming up, with a goal

of $25,000. “The love and acceptance is one of the neatest things about this ministry,� Norris said. “We honestly care about what happens to the women. We give them as much as we can. God has been really good to us.� n ebrown@themountainpress.com

year, a fact Montgomery pointed to in announcing his intent to seek one more term before stepping down. McCord said that stability and the possibility of the area being forced to elect two new representatives if he were to step down next year prompted his decision. McCord left open the possibility he would seek office again, though he didn’t specify if he has another position in mind. “I truly enjoy and thrive on the process by which we govern. Working with such a variety of people and issues makes it fun to go to work,� he said. “I hope to continue to be active in public service and perhaps even seek elected office again in the future, but this seems the best opportunity to step aside for at least a brief period. Thank you for the opportunity, the support, the education, and, most of all, for the friendships.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Work resumes in Cades Cove

With the passage of the highway transportation legislation in Congress Tuesday night, work was resumed Wednesday on the Cades Cove loop road. The work was suspended on Monday because failure to pass a budget measure meant federal highway inspectors were laid off, and one must be present to oversee work such as the Cades Cove loop road upgrade. Work is expected to be completed in May. The road will remain closed during the construction. n

SEVIERVILLE

Special education meetings scheduled The Sevier County Department of Special Education invites persons associated with students with disabilities to attend monthly parent support and advisory group meetings. The meetings are held at 5 p.m. the second Tuesday of the month in the library of Sevierville Middle School. If school is not in session, meetings are not held. For questions, contact Linda Tilson at the Department of Special Education, 453-1037. n

The city of Sevierville and its police deparhment have been nominated for the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition given by the U.S. government to employers for support of workers who serve in the Guard and Reserve. Only Guard and Reserve members and their families can nominate employers for the award. Nearly 2,500 Guard and Reserve members, or their families, nominated their employers. The nominees provide continued benefits, differential pay, and family assistance. Winners will be announced this summer.

Law would help gun maker MURFREESBORO (AP) — A Tennessee gun manufacturer who wants to build a factory access road that the state Department of Transportation won’t approve would get some help from a proposed law being pushed through the General Assembly. The Daily News Journal in Murfreesboro reported that Barrett Firearms Manufacturing would benefit from a bill that would grant Rutherford County an

easement allowing the construction of a road near the manufacturer’s property. Company owner Ronnie Barrett sued the county and TDOT in December 2008 after the state refused to give up the right of way citing federal restrictions and possible loss of federal funds. “I have been treated bad, and the 120-some people I have out here working for me are being treated bad,” Barrett told the newspaper Tuesday.

“It’s a black eye. It’s going to get fixed, and we are all going to be happy over it.” The bill is sponsored by state Sen. Doug Jackson, D-Dickson, and a House version is being sponsored by state Rep. Charles Michael Sargent, R-Franklin. State Sen. Jim Tracy joined an unanimous vote in the Senate Transportation Committee in favor of the bill. “It won’t cost the taxpayers any money,”

said Tracy, a Shelbyville Republican who represents much of Rutherford County. “It will be paid for by Mr. (Ronnie) Barrett.” He also said that the bill would benefit the local economy by keeping jobs in Rutherford County. The bill goes on now to the Senate Finance Committee. However, a fiscal review committee report questions costs associated with granting the county 50 feet of right of way.

commentary

Persuasion rather than prohibition “It’s a free country.” That’s a popular saying — and true in many ways. But for a free country, America does ban a lot of things that are perfectly peaceful and consensual. Why is that? Here are some things you can’t do in most states of the union: rent your body to someone for sex, sell your kidney, take recreational drugs. The list goes on. The prohibitionists say their rules are necessary for either the public’s or the particular individual’s own good. I’m skeptical. I think of what Albert Camus said: “The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” Prohibition is force. I prefer persuasion. Government force has nasty unintended consequences. I would think that our experience with alcohol prohibition would have taught America a lesson. Nearly everyone agrees it was a disaster. It didn’t stop people from drinking, but it created new and vicious strains of organized crime. Drug prohibition does that now. The prohibitionists claim that today’s drugs are far more dangerous than alcohol. But is that true? Or is much of what you think you know ... wrong? I believed the Drug Enforcement Administration’s claim that drugs like crack and meth routinely addict people on first use. But Jacob Sullum, who wrote “Saying Yes” (http://tinyurl.com/yjxru4s), says, “If you look at the government’s own data about patterns of drug use, it clearly is not true.” The data is remarkable: 8.5 million Americans have tried crack, but there are only 359,000 regular users. (The government defines “regular use” as using a drug at least once in the past 30 days.) More than 12 million tried meth, but only 314,000 still take it. The story is similar for heroin. Most people who try these “instantly additive drugs” do not get “hopelessly addicted.” They give them up on their own. As Sullum puts it: “The vast majority of people who use illegal drugs do not become heavy users, do not become addicts; it does not disrupt their lives. In fact, I would argue it enhances their lives. How do we know that? Because they use it.” But on the news, we constantly see people whose lives have been destroyed by drugs. Sullum says: “When you have prohibition, the most visible users are the ones who are most antisocial, most screwed up. They’re the ones who come to the attention of the police. ... People who present themselves as experts on drug use because they come into contact with all these addicts have a very skewed perspective because they are seeing a biased sample. The people who are well adjusted, responsible users are invisible.” Former prosecutor Wendy Murphy says prostitution is “sexual slavery.” I think calling it slavery is an insult to those who’ve suffered real slavery. Slavery is force. Prostitution is consensual. The prohibitionists also ban the sale of human organs. You aren’t allowed to sell a kidney to someone who will die without one. Sally Satel, a physician who is the recipient of a kidney and the author of “When Altruism Isn’t Enough” (http:// tinyurl.com/yzjnksw), says, “Altruism ... is a beautiful virtue, but tomorrow at this time 13 people will be dead because they didn’t get a kidney.” In a free country, we consenting adults should be able to do whatever we want with our bodies as long as we don’t hurt anyone else. People who don’t like what we do have every right to complain about our behavior, to boycott, to picket, to embarrass us. Bless the critics. They make us better people by getting us to think about what’s moral. Let them mock and shame. But shaming is one thing — government force is another. Prohibition means we empower the state to send out people with guns to force people to do what the majority says is moral. That’s not right. And it doesn’t even work. — John Stossel hosts a show on the Fox Business Channel and is the author of “Myth, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel — Why Everything You Know is Wrong.” (C)2009 JFS Productions Inc.

Editorial

Olympic heroes United States produced many in exciting, compelling winter games The Winter Olympics are over, so now we can get back to watching reality TV shows and getting ready for spring to arrive. If you enjoy skating, skiing, hockey and curling, the winter games are for you. If you’re looking for sports with a little more, well, heat, then you’ll have to wait two years for the summer games. The Olympics were created originally by the Greeks to bring athletes together to compete against each other for supremacy. Now it’s country vs. country. We have charts to show us up-to-date medal counts, to see how the U.S. is faring against Canada, Russia, Norway and the like. It is this kind of comparative analysis that led countries to war against other countries, and nations to boycott the games when they didn’t like the political actions of the host country. Now we have professional athletes in the Olympics, a move away from the amateur athletes who dominated for so many years. All of this aside, the winter games were fun to watch. Perhaps no better compe-

tition was on display than the last one of the games: the U.S.-Canada hockey match. Hockey fans may be hard to find, especially in the South, but when you encounter such a fan, you find someone devoted, passionate, about this sport. Unlike football with its start-and-stop action, or basketball where every few seconds the action stops because of a foul, or baseball with its leisurely pace, hockey is sustained thrills, in which hitting an opponent is legal, where athletes not only have to have skills, but they have to be able to ice-skate with precision. Even though scoring sometimes seems an accident or lucky, the sport is compelling to watch, especially when the spectators have a rooting interest. Those who don’t follow hockey understand it enough to be able to follow the action and know what’s going on. It is a sport best observed in person, rather than on television. It is a sport that looks chaotic and disorganized, but in fact consists of a series of plays as intricate and practiced as those in football or basketball.

Hockey may never find the audience of the other sports, but its fans are as loyal, intense and devoted as those who follow any athletic competition. A match like the one last Sunday piques interest and brings over more fans to this sport. America had its heroes in the Winter Olympics. Some captivated us, such as snowboarder Shaun White, skiers Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, bobsledders Steve Holcomb and Steve Mesler, skater Evan Lysacek, hockey player Ryan Miller, snowboarder Seth Wescott, speed skater Shani Davis and freestyle skater Hannah Kearney. Many Americans earned Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. While the United States led the medal count with 37, the Canadians earned more Gold: 14 for Canada to 9 for the U.S. Who’s to say who had a better Winter Olympics? So now we wait four years for the winter games in Russia, where new heroes and new challengers await. For everyone else, there is Major League Baseball, basketball tournaments and spring football. Now you’re talking real sports.

Political view

Public forum Americans duty-bound to protect religious freedom

Editor: As a retired United States Army Chaplain with over 30 years of service, and a United Methodist clergyperson, I am writing in support of Father Flaherty’s request for religious toleration in our community. In the true spirit of American democracy, we are all duty-bound to protect our precious legacy of religious freedom and the toleration that goes with it. Everyone must be allowed the freedom to follow their religious convictions without harassment, belittlement or the derogation of their beliefs. This is a guarantee of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights upon which our American society exists. As a people who hold these truths to be self-evident, we must be on guard to assure that all of our children are safe from the intolerance that often exists in the area of religion. This is especially true for those of us who espouse the American principles of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our own shared scriptures remind us that what we want for ourselves is what we must also desire for our neighbors. In this spirit, we need to join in the cause

Arrogance of man has ‘Joseph’ is best produced show messed up Christianity he’s ever seen in Sevier County Editor: Editor: I recently saw the “Joseph” musical at the Miracle Theater and enjoyed it very much. It is a great, wholesome, tuneful show. The recent letter to the editor criticizing the show, written by two people who admitted in the letter they left the show before seeing it, but still somehow managed to review it, is a totally wrong and unfair portrayal. There is nothing at all un-Christian about this wonderful show. It is sad when people try to direct their misguided anger at a show that inspires on so many levels with a positive Christian message. I hope the theater owners will have more sense than to listen to such ridiculous complaints. For the record, I am a Sevier County resident. My family’s roots go back to the 1700s in the area. I believe most of our local residents can appreciate a show of this quality.

Father Flaherty, I wouldn’t call it a hate crime for passing out anti-Catholic pamphlets. I’d call it really small minded, really stupid, and a really insecure preacher and church. I can admire any Christian of any faith for being devout to their doctrine, but any Christian who bashes another Christian faith in any forum, especially to that degree, isn’t worth talking to. Christianity is truly the simplest of all religions, but the arrogance of man has really screwed it up. “If they are not against me, are thy not for me?” “Judge not lest ye be judged.” If those two quotes can’t guide you when speaking of another Christian faith, then you shouldn’t be speaking at all — period. Thank you, Father Flaherty, for exposing defiling prejudice within certain Christian communities. And I’m not even Catholic. Steve Osborn Sevierville

NCAA GRIDIRON

Ogle competing for No.2 QB spot at Clemson University By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Clemson University QB Taylor Ogle (16), pictured at an all-star football game during his senior year of high school in December of 2008, is currently competing for the Tigers primary back-up at the position this week at Spring practice.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Former Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders quarterback Taylor Ogle may see some playing time for the Clemson Tigers this Fall. Ogle, who was redshirted as a freshman last season, has seen his workload increase since last year’s redshirt freshman starter Kyle Parker is most likely leaving the team. Last season, Parker helped lead the Tigers to a 9-5 mark, to the team’s first Atlantic Coast Conference Championship berth in 18 years and a Music City Bowl win over Kentucky. Parker also led Clemson to a 40-37 win over then-ranked No.10 Miami with a 25-of-37 performance for 326 yards, including a game-winning TD strike threaded through a tiny window on 3rd-and11. Parker was one of the nation’s top-ranked high school quarterbacks when

No. 16 Tennessee beats Arkansas KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Scotty Hopson scored 15 points to lead No. 16 Tennessee to an 80-73 win over Arkansas on Wednesday night. The Vols shot 54.5 percent for the game and had five players score in double figures, but it was a technical foul called on Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl that helped the Vols (22-7, 10-5 SEC) finally pull away from the Razorbacks (14-16, 7-8). Early in the second half, Tennessee’s Cameron Tatum was

But Parker isn’t the only quarterback no longer working with the team. Willy Korn is also gone, in the process of transferring to Marshall University. And Michael Wade can play quarterback, but right now his official position is on the defensive side of the ball at safety. That leaves three QBs on the Clemson roster for the opening of Spring practice this coming Sunday. The assumed starter will be Tajh Boyd, but that leaves Ogle and fellow preferred walk-on Donny McElveen to battle it out for the back-up role this fall — a role that is always just one snap away from being the starter. “I never expected this great of an opportunity in such a short period of time,” said Ogle in a Wednesday

Bobby Maze capped off the run with a long pass between two defenders to J.P. Prince, who dunked it for a 61-48 lead with 11:26 left. The Razorbacks would not get closer than six points from that point.

INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning has spent 12 seasons being a pain in the neck of NFL opponents. Now the four-time league MVP is trying to alleviate the pain in his own neck. The Indianapolis Colts announced Wednesday that Manning had surgery in Chicago to fix a pinched nerve, a procedure that is not expected to interrupt Manning’s offseason workouts or his availability for next season. “This condition has existed intermittently for the past

four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen,” the Colts said. “While it never has affected Peyton’s activity on or off the field, the Colts’ medical staff, after post-playoff examination, thought it best to resolve the situation now.” The Colts said Manning spent Tuesday night in the hospital and was released Wednesday. “All medical personnel involved believe the issue has been resolved,” the team said. “Peyton fully expects to participate in the Colts’ offseason program this See MANNING, Page A9

UT brings win streak to SEC tourney By GEORGE HENRY Associated Press Writer

DULUTH, Ga. — When the Gwinnett Arena hosted its first Southeastern Conference tournament three years ago, Tennessee fans turned the place into Thompson-Boling South. Such is life for a program that Pat Summitt has coached to eight national titles, 15 SEC regular-season championships and 13 league tournament titles. “Obviously we’ve had our fans travel to Duluth before,” Summitt told a Lady Vols radio audience last week, “and we need you there.” Georgia was the only SEC team to beat No. 4 Tennessee this season, but fans of the Lady Bulldogs are unlikely to outnumber the Lady Vols’ even though the Georgia campus is only 45 minutes from Duluth. In the first and second round of the NCAA tournament last year at the Gwinnett Arena, Georgia’s support seemed almost equivalent to Florida State’s. But a bigger concern for the No. 22 Lady Bulldogs is the health of senior guard Ashley Houts, who twisted her left ankle while playing the full 40 minutes in the 54-50 win over Tennessee on Jan. 21. After her injury, the Lady Bulldogs lost five of six, but coach Andy Landers believes Houts has regained some of the burst she was missing in the games that followed the injury. “It’s been a challenge more than anything else,” said Landers, whose

team ended the regular season by winning three of four. “Unfortunately, the person who has been injured the longest and hampered the most by the injury is Houts. She sets the tone in many ways for our basketball team. When your leader can’t go full tilt, it affects the ebb and flow of your team, not just from a playing standpoint but also from a mental standpoint.” Houts is one of five senior guards who are the undisputed leaders of their teams at the Gwinnett Arena. She joined LSU’s Allison Hightower, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Bianca Thomas of Ole Miss in being named first team All-SEC. Vanderbilt’s guard Meredith Marsh, who helped the Commodores win their second conference title in three years last season, was named second team All-SEC. “I hope we can look at this game as our season is not over and it depends on how we’re going to end the season,” Marsh said. “It’s up to us and no one can take it from us unless we let them. We have the heart to do it, so I’m excited about it.” South Carolina junior Valerie Nainima, Auburn junior Alli Smalley and Kentucky’s A’dia Mathies, who was named this week as SEC freshman of the year, are other leading guards. Summitt places most of the responsibility on setting up her defensive alignments on guards Angie Bjorklund and Shekinna Stricklen. Bjorklund joined Hightower and

Kentucky’s Victoria Dunlap, a junior forward who was named SEC player of the year, as the only players to receive unanimous selections from league coaches. Summitt is pleased that Stricklen is playing harder as the season runs longer. Tennessee, a winner of 11 straight, beat LSU, Kentucky and Ole Miss last week as Stricklen averaged 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. The Lady Vols’ coach signed out Stricklen and forward Alicia Manning for strong play in a 12-point win over Ole Miss that otherwise left Summitt irritated by other players’ inconsistency. “I told them, ’Maybe you win in the regular season, and you think you’re all that,”’ Summitt said. “No, because again we always talk about never arriving in this game and you constantly have to work at your game. Stricklen has been working on her game, and it shows. So has Alicia.” Fourth-ranked Tennessee will play its first game Friday against the winner of Thursday’s Ole Miss-South Carolina matchup. No. 22 Georgia can advance to play Mississippi State if it beats Alabama for the 18th straight time in the late game Thursday. Auburn and Florida will play the second game Thursday to decide who faces No. 19 Kentucky.

Advice

Wife pushes husband to reach out to mother

Zits

Dear Annie: My husband has never had a close relationship with his mother. He spent most of his childhood years with his grandparents, who gave him a terrific life. His mom, although still fairly young, lives alone and has few friends. I often remind my husband to call his mother to see how she’s doing, but he does this only occasionally. She lives barely an hour away, yet we go months without seeing her. Although she and I are polar opposites and have had some disagreements, we care deeply for each other. I have grandparents nearby whom I help take care of and parents I’m very close to. Is it my responsibility to take care of my mother-in-law even though my husband doesn’t seem to care? Should I leave my husband alone about trying to maintain regular contact with her? -- Feeling Guilty Dear Feeling Guilty: Please continue to stay in touch with your mother-in-law and check up on her now and then, and encourage your husband to do the same. He obviously does not feel a close bond, but he can certainly develop greater affection if he gives it some time and effort. Since he doesn’t know how to have a better relationship with her, we hope you will teach him. It could be very rewarding for all of you. Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 20 years. We have had ups and downs just like any good marriage.

Our oldest is leaving for the Army soon, and we have three other children. For the past three years, our relationship has steadily deteriorated. Our sex life is almost nonexistent, and our social life is, too. My wife is angry and says hurtful things so often that I have become immune to her words. We have gone for counseling in the past, and to be honest, it made matters worse. Her lack of affection has pushed me to the edge, and I am fed up with it all. I don’t want a divorce, but it seems to be the only alternative left. I dread coming home every night from work. What should I do? -- I Am Done in Ohio Dear Ohio: Has your wife had a complete physical checkup? Aside from the obvious likelihood that some of this is the result of menopause, there could be other medical issues that are interfering with her emotional stability. Call the doctor in advance and alert him or her to the problem. Then get counseling on your own so you can develop some coping skills before you give up entirely. Dear Annie: “Just Wondering in Southern California” was concerned about her sisterin law’s use of bleach around her children. I

thought some of your advice was great (especially the point about never mixing bleach and ammonia). I work on behalf of Clorox and wanted to clarify a few points. Bleach actually isn’t harmful to the environment when it is used as directed in everyday consumer and commercial tasks such as laundry or in disinfecting surfaces around the home, schools and hospitals. During normal household use and disposal, bleach breaks down primarily into salt and water. Research shows that bleach is better than vinegar and hydrogen peroxide when it comes to killing the most organisms, including viruses. This is why disinfecting bleach is the primary choice in institutional and health care settings. The reader’s sisterin-law should also be reminded that bleach should always be used as directed and always stored out of reach of children. -- Laura Jacobs, On Behalf of Clorox Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
