Man indicted in girlfriend murder By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer

5Strutting their academic stuff Seymour High School decathletes do well at state meet LOCAL, Page A2

SEVIERVILLE — A Sevier County Grand Jury returned an indictment this week against a local man charged with killing his girlfriend in what he told a 911 dispatcher was an accident. Jacob Stanton, 21, is charged with second-degree murder in the Nov. 17 shooting death of 18-year-old Leah Avril. A recording of Stanton’s call after

the shooting shows he told the dispatcher the shooting was an accident. “I didn’t think the gun was loaded and I was putting it away and it accidentally went off,” he told the dispatcher. The indictment is the last hurdle the case had to face before trial, although defense attorney Joe Baker could file motions that a judge would have to consider before the trial could begin. Also this week, the grand jury returned an indictment against a

Sevierville man who allegedly was responsible for a fatal motorcycle accident. Larry C. McGlaughn is charged with vehicular homicide, reckless vehicular homicide, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a canceled license, DUI and felony evading arrest. Officers say McGlaughn was driving a motorcycle on Upper Middle Creek Road when he lost control of the bike and it hit a county highway sign and an embankment. His pas-

senger, Brian Renfroe, died at the scene. The grand jury is a panel of 12 randomly selected county residents who meet in private to review criminal allegations to determine whether there is enough evidence to justify proceeding with a trial. They do not determine guilt or innocence. A new grand jury is selected every two months and meets at that time to review allegations. See MAN INDICTED, Page A5

In better times the Belle Island development celebrated a tree topping ceremony in May of 2008.

PIGEON FORGE — The buildings of what was to be Belle Island Village sit vacant on land in the middle of the Little Pigeon River — a modern-day ghost town created, much like those of old, when an economic bubble burst. Now, one local developer says he’s been working with others to find ways to bring new life to the project, though he insists he’s far from committed to investing in the unfinished project. Earl Worsham, a Worsham Gatlinburg resident who is chairman of The Worsham Group of Companies, told The Mountain Press on Wednesday he has been working with several other people to try to drum up the money needed to get Belle Island back on track. “We’ve looked into it and we’re hopeful they’ll be able to pull it out,” Worsham said. “We have been talking to the banks.” Getting local banks on board may be tough. With a massive initial capital investment, huge liability with what already exists and the worry that a new effort might again fail — though having Worsham’s name involved should help allay those fears — area banks that turned down loans years ago are apparently still reluctant.

Dolly’s $400K donation hits nice chord in park By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer KODAK — Less than a year after the effort was begun, Sevier County favorite daughter Dolly Parton’s fundraising push for the mountains she grew up in has raised nearly $400,000 to preserve the more than 800 miles of walking paths in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Parton, who served as the ambassador for the national park’s 75th anniversary in 2009, dedicated proceeds from performances of the show ShaKon-O-Hey! at namesake theme park Dollywood and from the sales of a soundtrack CD to the Trails Forever program of Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “Way back in 2007, we met at park headquarters with some of the folks from Dollywood and asked them if they thought Dolly would be willing to write a theme song for the 75th anniversary celebration,” Friends President

Submitted

Sevier County favorite daughter Dolly Parton’s efforts have netted nearly $400,000 in less than a year for the Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park Trails Forever program. Joining Parton to offer gratitude are, from left, national park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson, Great Smoky Mountains Association representative Howard Clinton and Friends President Jim Hart. Jim Hart says. “What she came back with was a whole soundtrack for the anniversary — eight original songs written especially about the Smoky Mountains, all about their

history, their beauty and their people.” Dollywood Director of Entertainment Paul Couch wrote the script for ShaKon-O-Hey!, inspiring Parton to pen eight new

songs to serve as a soundtrack, as Hart points out, not only for the show but also the national park’s anniversary. Tickets were sold for a special premiere fundraising event at

Dollywood on May 9, raising $110,000. Parton went on to promise the money from the sale of CD recordings of the music to the Friends, as well. In about 10 months of sales, that has generated more than $250,000, Dollywood spokesman Pete Owens says. “We try to do whatever we can to help them when we’re able because, while we may be the top paid attraction in the state, everyone knows that the Smokies are really the top attraction,” Owens explains. “Dolly was very honored to be able to contribute to the Friends and the Smokies in that way.” The contribution is considerable, Friends Marketing Director Holly Scott says. The Trails Forever program is a fundraising initiative through which Friends hopes to raise $2 million, with a promise of an exact match from the Aslan Foundation of Knoxville. Already, and in large part thanks to Parton’s contribution, the See DOLLY, Page A9

Seymour High School students who competed in the state’s recent Academic Decathlon competition included, from left, Casey Ford, Morgan Wilds, Faith Williams, Nicole Warner, Courtney Whitley, Stephanie Jennings, Marissa Gaddis and Tyson Collier.

SHS academic decathletes show muscle Bring back honors from recent state competition By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEYMOUR — Seymour High School’s Academic Decathlon team recently participated in the state’s competition at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, bringing home scholarships and a medal. Three SHS seniors were among the top scorers: Courtney Whitley received a $1,000 scholarship, Casey Ford was awarded $300, and Faith Williams won the school’s first state medal in eight years for fourth place in math. “It’s not easy to put together a team,” said sponsor Mickey Williams, who teaches history and social studies at SHS. “I’ll ask other teachers and the guidance department (for suggestions on who to recruit). There are some students who aren’t ‘A’ or ‘B’ students, who maybe aren’t doing their best in class but are still bright, are good test takers and can do well in this competition.” Tennessee has held the Academic Decathlon competition since 1985, and

Editor’s Note: The following information was taken from the intake reports at the Sevier County Jail. All people listed within this report are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. u Diana Cheryl Bass, 46, of Cold Creek Resort in Pigeon Forge, was charged March 9 with worthless checks. She was being held. u James Hamilton Beck, 48, of 2124 Little Valley Road in Sevierville, was charged March 9 with DUI. He was released on $2,000 bond. u Spencer Earl Brannon, 37, of Morristown, was charged March 9 with a misdemeanor warrant from general sessions court. He was being held. u Angela Ada Dykes, 22, of 1530 Wilhite Creek Road in Sevierville, was charged March 9 with criminal trespass. She was being held in lieu of $1,500 bond. u Jamie Christine Flynn, 32, of Knoxville, was charged March 9 with theft of property. She was released. u Jeremy Seth Lowe, 22, of 2231 Old Newport Highway in Sevierville, was charged March 9 with domestic violence assault, unlawful possession of a weapon and criminal trespass.

SHS began participating the next year. Teams consist of nine students divided into three categories — honors, who have grade point averages of 3.7 and above; scholastic, who have a GPA of 3.0-3.69; and varsity, who have a GPA of 2.9 and below. All students take the same tests and answer the same questions but are competing against only the students in the same category. “The decathlon is modeled after the athletic decathlon,” Williams said. “All students compete in 10 events: art, economics, essay, interview, language and literature, mathematics, music, science, social science and speech.” Gold, silver, bronze and copper medals are awarded for individual events and total scores. Winning teams advance through the regional and state levels of competition, and the state champions compete at the national finals. It may be harder to recruit students for an academic team than a sports team, Academic Decathlon members acknowledge, but they’re enjoying themselves just as much as their school’s athletes. “He made this sound fun,” Whitley said of Williams. “He’s a great coach, a good motivator.”

“This looks good on a college application, too,” added fellow team member Marissa Gaddis. In Tennessee, Dollar General Stores sponsor $15,000 in scholarship money that is distributed at the state competition. The highest scoring senior from each school receives a $1,000 scholarship. This year, Williams said the state had extra money and awarded $300 to the second highest scoring senior from each school. “West and Middle Tennessee have thriving AD competitions, but East Tennessee has seen the number of schools participating from six in 2002 to only SHS in 2010,” he said. “We have three kids coming back to compete next year, and we’re hoping that other local schools will want to compete.” For more information about Academic Decathlon or to participate in next year’s competition, contact Williams at 5777040 or at mickeywilliams@sevier.org, or Brenda Ables, director of Tennessee Department of Education secondary education at (615) 741-5273 or at Brenda.Ables@state.tn.us.

County job fair offers more than 100 possibilities By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

Sevier County Job Fair

PIGEON FORGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 100 jobs at 24 local companies will be up for grabs today as the Sevier County Economic Development Council holds its 13th annual Sevier County Job Fair at the Holiday Inn Pigeon Forge. The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention center, is expected to draw as many as 800-900 folks as local residents look for new opportunities in the midst of an ongoing national recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had 800 people and I expect that many or more this year,â&#x20AC;? event organizer Madeline Radel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting a

When: Today, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Where: Holiday Inn Pigeon Forge convention center What: More than 100 jobs from 24 local companies

lot of calls about it.â&#x20AC;? With the glut of unemployed folks who have been out trolling the area for jobs recently, Radel said she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what to expect in terms of companies looking to hire. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraged by the response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get 10 businesses, so I was amazed,â&#x20AC;? Radel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised that I really did get a variety of jobs, too.â&#x20AC;? Those who attend will have the

opportunity to apply and submit resumĂŠs for a host of jobs, ranging from servers to bank lenders to physicians assistants. While most of the companies will likely consider those submissions and call those applicants they decide to interview in the coming days, they do have the option of hiring on the spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a separate space set up for them if they want to do interviews at the fair,â&#x20AC;? Radel said. In addition to helping match folks with jobs, the event will allow those who attend an opportunity to work with Bill Bromby, a retired human resources director who will be offering counseling and tips on preparing resumĂŠs.

J. Donald Griffin of Gatlinburg and formerly of Powell died March 8, 2010, at UT Medical Center, surrounded and loved by his family. Don fought a courageous 6-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s). He was born in Lexington, Alabama, on March 17, 1931. In 1949, he graduated from what he and his classmates believed to be “the best class that Lexington High School ever had.” In 1953, he received a B.A. degree in both chemistry and biology from Florence State Teachers College (now University of North Alabama). It was here he met and married Betty Sims. They relished each other’s company for 58 years. They worked as a team, which was most evident as together they faced and dealt with ALS. After serving in the Army Corps of Engineers, Don moved to East Tennessee to work as a chemist at the K-25 plant in Oak Ridge. Three years later, he entered the Office of General Counsel as a patent agent. He continued his education at UT, was active in the Powell Optimist Club, and taught woodworking in Anderson County’s Adult Education Evening School. He also gardened and was active in church work. When he retired from Lockheed Martin in 1994, he was supervisory patent agent for ORNL. Don and Betty loved the Smoky Mountains and relocated there upon retirement. They enjoyed making new friends in Gatlinburg, traveling, reading, and exploring the mountains. Don took pleasure in woodworking and Friday lunches with the ROMEOs. He was an active member of Gatlinburg Church of Christ. Don is remembered most for his positive outlook, his kind and generous nature, and his strong sense of humor, all of which stayed with him to the very end. He was preceded in death by his parents, Felix and Girchen Griffin, and brother-in-law, Lewis Berry. Survivors include his wife, Betty Sims Griffin; his children, Susan Griffin Shows (Gary) of Atlanta; Andy Griffin (Jeanne) of Knoxville; Jane Griffin Dozier (Doug) of Homestead, FL; stepgrandson, Broderick Warren of Knoxville; grandson, Morgan Dozier of Homestead; sisters, Shirley Nichols (Henry), Florence, AL; Kaye Berry, Killen, AL; brother-in-law, Jim Sims (Anne), Madison, AL; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of other relatives and friends. His family expresses their appreciation to Dr. Randall Trudell and his staff, Dr. Robert Fehr, Dr. Robert Maughon, the doctors and nurses in the Progressive Care Unit at UT Medical Center, and Don’s many friends in Gatlinburg, Knoxville and Powell, who gave constant encouragement and support during his brave struggle with ALS. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to ALS Research c/o MDA-ALS Division, 6408 Paper Mill Drive, Suite 230, Knoxville, TN 37919; or Gatlinburg Church of Christ Building Fund, P.O. Box 361, Gatlinburg TN, 37738. A memorial service to celebrate Don’s life will be held at noon on Saturday, March 13, in the West Chapel of Atchley Funeral Home, 118 E. Main Street, Sevierville, TN. Arthur Pigman will officiate. The family will receive friends 11 a.m.- noon at Atchley Funeral Home, Sevierville.

In Loving Memory of: Jimmy M. Dodgen November 2, 1934 – March 9, 2009 A year has gone by now-but it still only seems like yesterday. As I sit and try to write this, tears still stream down my face. You are the true meaning of here today gone tomorrow! We never dreamed that we would lose you, so suddenly and so soon with not even a warning-just poof and you’re gone. (But Not Forgotten) There’s not a Nascar Race or Western on T.V. that we don’t think of you. In the fall and winter time we miss seeing the smoke roaring out of the chimney at your shop and hearing the sounds of chain saws and wood busters being revved up. And in the spring and summer time we miss hearing the sounds of lawn mowers, weed eaters and of all just seeing you there at your shop with the garage door opened and always waving at everybody coming and going. The road would always have a few trucks and cars lined up. And you would try to make time for everyone especially your “Barbie Doll” and also known as your ice-cream buddy. I remember the times you would come up to the body shop, not really wanting anything-just to drive up and check on everybody. You would always come to the house if I wasn’t at the shop, just to give me a hug and say I LOVE YOU. Papaw Jim, you are so dearly missed by your family here and at Wayne Blalocks, The Mitchell Bottoms Neighbors and all of Maples Families, Eggman, Preacher Sam Justus Family and Tim and Sue. Thank You to Everyone for all the love, support, food, flowers and all the prayers that went up for Jim that day. A special Thank You for the man that was in the garage with Jim that day-and you came to the house and told them that someone needs to come check on Jim. I’m sorry I don’t have your name, but you know who you are and we Thank You! We also want to thank Sevier County 9-1-1, The Sevier Co. Sheriff ’s Dept., Ambulance Responders, Fort Sanders Sevier, Life Star and Fort Sanders Regional and Atchley’s Staff and Funeral Home. I know that we have probably left someone or something out, but not on purpose. If so, we apologize-but you know who you are and what you may have done, brought or said and We Thank You Dearly from the bottom of our hearts. Papaw Jim-We will see you again in Heaven some sweet day! The Dodgen Families and Steve Dodgen Body Shop

Guns-in-bars law needs clarification NASHVILLE (AP) — The sponsor of legislation that seeks to clarify a Tennessee law allowing people with handgun permits to be armed in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol is hoping to satisfy a judge’s ruling against the law. The measure sponsored by Rep. Curry Todd, a Collierville Republican, passed the House Judiciary Criminal Practice and Procedure Subcommittee on a voice vote Wednesday. A judge ruled last year that the law is unconstitutionally vague. It made

an exception for establishments that serve at least one meal on five days per week and where “the serving of such meals shall be the principal business conducted.” Tennessee has no legal definition to distinguish bars from restaurants. Critics of the law said it’s unclear as to where patrons can and cannot carry their weapons. But Todd said his legislation provides clarification by allowing permit holders to carry their weapons “where alcohol beverages are served, unless it’s post-

Rayburn, who owns three Nashville restaurants, said the proposal is too broad. “This goes far beyond what was passed last year,” he said. “We as property owners feel that our property rights when they come into conflict with Second Amendment rights need to be respected, and that the security of our customers and employees needs to be protected.” The state Attorney General’s office is appealing the judge’s ruling, but the appeal may become moot if Todd’s proposal passes.

Corey Haim

LOS ANGELES — Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob for his roles in “Lucas” and “The Lost Boys,” whose career was blighted by drug abuse, died Wednesday. He was 38. Haim died at 2:15 a.m. at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Haim Los Angeles County coroner Cheryl MacWillie said. An autopsy will determine cause of death. There was no evidence of foul play, police said. Haim had flulike symptoms before he died and was getting over-the-counter and prescription medications, police Sgt. William Mann said. In 2007, he told ABC’s “Nightline” that drugs hurt his career. “I feel like with myself I ruined myself to the point where I wasn’t functional enough to work for anybody, even myself. I wasn’t working,” he said.

commentary

Competition our best protection The people of Louisiana must sleep soundly knowing that their state protects them from ... unlicensed florists. That’s right. In Louisiana, you can’t sell flower arrangements unless you have permission from the government. How do you get permission? You must pass a test that is graded by a board of florists who already have licenses. To prepare for the test, you might have to spend $2,000 on a special course. The test requires knowledge of techniques that florists rarely use anymore. One question asks the name of the state’s agriculture commissioner — as though you can’t be a good florist without knowing that piece of vital information. The licensing board defends its test, claiming it protects consumers from florists who might sell them unhealthy flowers. I understand the established florists’ wish to protect their profession’s reputation, but in practice such licensing laws mainly serve to limit competition. Making it harder for newcomers to open florist shops lets established florists hog the business. Other states are considering adopting Louisiana’s licensing law, but before any do, I hope that the law will be stricken. The Institute for Justice, a public-interest law firm, has challenged the licensing in court, saying it violates liberty and equal protection, and so is unconstitutional. “One of the most fundamental tenets of the American dream is the right to earn an honest living without arbitrary government interference. What could be more arbitrary than saying who can and who cannot sell flowers?” IJ President Chip Mellor says. Others states have their own sets of ridiculous licensing rules. In Virginia, you need a license to be a yoga instructor. Florida threatened an interior designer with a $25,000 fine if she didn’t do a six-year apprenticeship and pass a test, at a cost of several thousand dollars. Fortunately, the Institute for Justice got that law overturned. I’m rooting for IJ because licensing interferes with the freedom to make a living, harms consumers by limiting competition and protects established firms. It’s an old story. Established businesses have always used government to handcuff competition. Years ago, small grocers tried to ban supermarkets. A&P was going to “destroy Main Street,” the grocers cried. Minnesota legislators responded to their lobbying by passing a law that forbade supermarkets to hold sales. Consumers were hurt. OK, while licensing of florists, interior designers and yoga teachers is ridiculous, what about more important professions, like law? Surely people need protection from people who would practice law without a license. Again, I say no. Lawyers’ monopoly on helping people with wills, bankruptcies and divorces is just another expensive restraint of trade. David Price recently spent six months in a Kansas jail because he wrote a letter on behalf of a man who was wrongly accused of practicing architecture without a license. When Price refused to promise never to “practice law” again, a judge sent him to jail. All he did was write a letter. Price didn’t misrepresent his credentials. However, he did save a man from paying $3,000 to a lawyer. Perhaps that was his real offense. Some of the most famous lawyers in American history, including Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo, had no license from the state. Their customers decided whether they were worthy of being hired. Competition is better than government at protecting consumers from shoddy work. Furthermore, licensing creates a false sense of security. Consider this: When you move to a new community, do you ask neighbors or colleagues to recommend doctors, dentists and mechanics even though those jobs are licensed? Of course. Because you know that even with licensing laws, there is a wide range of quality and outright quackery in every occupation. You know that licensing doesn’t really protect you. A free competitive market for reputation protects consumers much more effectively than government can. Today, online services like Angie’s List (www.angieslist.com) make it even easier for consumers to get better information about businesses than government licensing boards will ever provide. We do need protection from shoddy businesses. But it’s freedom and competition that produce the best protection. — 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

Sliding on by State, Blalock crews deserve much credit for hastening Spur repairs One rockslide cleared, another still being cleared. All that rain may have been welcomed for lakes and gardens, but it did play havoc with the ground, especially hillsides where unstable rock formations fell victim to soggy turf and underground streams. The rock slide that affected traffic along the Spur between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge may have attributed to a slowdown in business in Gatlinburg. The Spur was never closed; traffic headed to Gatlinburg was rerouted onto the northbound side for about a mile. Yet rumors got out, fueled by misinformation, that you couldn’t even get to Gatlinburg because of the slide. There were reports some workers at welcome centers along the interstate were telling motorists to avoid Gatlinburg because it was isolated and inaccessible. How unfair and hurtful that was.

Fortunately, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, with assistance from Sevierville’s Charles Blalock & Sons, set about to remedy the Spur rockslide and get traffic moving smoothly again. The Blalock crew finished the first phase of the project way ahead of schedule. Now both southbound lanes are open, at least temporarily. One lane likely will be closed from time to time as the work crews construct the retaining wall to keep back the hillside. Blalock deserves much praise for getting this job finished ahead of schedule. Yes, it had financial incentives to complete it early, but the company also realized how the slide was affecting local businesses and tourists, so it set out to remedy the problem as quickly as possible, without compromising safety. It did that.

Meanwhile, the October rockslide on Interstate 40 at the TennesseeNorth Carolina line continues to keep that stretch of road blocked, causing detours many miles out of the way. Completion of that project now appears to be April, some six months after the rockslide occurred. This one has been especially troublesome for engineers and work crews. Get it right, guys, even if it means delaying the reopening. We may not have seen the last of the rockslides. All that rain seeped into the ground and may yet create problems in other places. Be alert as you drive our scenic routes. As pretty as they are, they also could be the site of the next rockslide. It’s the price we have to pay for living in such a gorgeous, mountainous place.

Loss of Leroy Mitchell blow to children’s sports

Editor: Recently, our community lost a great man. His name was Leroy Mitchell. While I was not a close friend of him or his family, I feel his loss greatly. Leroy coached my son’s little league football team and baseball team. My son was not in his division, but we came into contact with Leroy and his wife Sharon on numerous occasions. Leroy gave more than required in his coaching position. I have seen Leroy pick up children that could not make it to games or practice because of having no transportation, and he used his own money to buy drinks or food for kids who didn’t have money of their own. When my son was practicing with a friend, Leroy stoppped what he was doing and took 10 minutes to show my son how to throw a ball properly. Leroy genuinely cared for these kids. We had our first practice at the field recently since he died, and I am sure many of the kids felt the deep loss of him not being there. So, from my family, and countless kids, we would like to thank his wife Sharon and his son Dalton for sharing this great man with us. We feel your loss, but please remember in your time of sorrow, he has touched this community deeply. Tammy Delucia Sevierville

Pastor Hatcher’s a good person who would never hurt on purpose

Editor: I have known Pastor Jonathan Hatcher all my life. This letter has nothing to do with religion; it is about Jonathan Hatcher the person. I grew up with Jonathan and have known him and his family my whole life. He is a good person who would never do anything to hurt anyone on purpose. He is a family man, who loves the Lord. He is a local man who has been here his whole life. He preached my grandmother’s funeral and told wonderful stories about growing up with our family. I am proud to know him and to call him my friend. He has been a blessing to our family and we love him and his family. I am not a member of his congregation, just his friend. Della Wilson Sevierville

SEC HOOPS

Kentucky back in accustomed spot as SEC fave By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — Maybe Kentucky coach John Calipari wants to ease the pressure on his young Wildcats. He’s busy talking about playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, though ending a drought with Kentucky’s first Southeastern Conference tournament title since 2004 would a big deal, too. All those blue-clad fans heading to Nashville, determined to sneak through every nook and cranny to watch? They want to see the Wildcats resume their rightful place atop the SEC. No. 2 Kentucky is the heavy favorite to take home a 26th tournament title after running to its 44th regular season crown. “For us, our whole goal is the seed,” Calipari said. “So we go in there, we lose the first game we’re not going to be a 1 seed. We win the first, lose the second, I think we’ve done enough to get that seed.” The games start Thursday, with South Carolina playing Alabama, No. 15 Tennessee facing LSU, Auburn versus Florida and Georgia against Arkansas. Mississippi State won four games in four days to take last year’s title, while Georgia did the same in 2008. Not since Florida won this tournament en route to consecutive national championships in 2006 and 2007 has a team with a first-round bye won the title. Vanderbilt, the No. 2 seed in the East, has the hometown advantage, playing in the Bridgestone Arena just

a couple miles away from campus. Tennessee always draws a crowd of orange anytime the Vols play anywhere in this state. Florida, Mississippi State and Mississippi are desperate for more wins to push them into the NCAA tournament. “There are a number of teams that can win,” Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said. “Obviously, Kentucky was the very best in our league this year, but you never know. “Certainly Kentucky would have to be considered the favorite.” Darrin Horn’s South Carolina Gamecocks joined Tennessee as the only SEC teams to beat Kentucky (29-2) this season, and his team is coming off a 77-73 road upset of Vanderbilt. He isn’t conceding to the Wildcats, not at 15-15 and with the SEC’s top scorer in Devan Downey. “Obviously, they’re the team over a period of a conference season that has gotten the best record and has earned their No. 1 seed. At the same time, it’s tournament time, and anything can happen on a given day,” Horn said. Calipari and his Wildcats traveled Wednesday with the short trip from Lexington to Nashville, enjoying the time off until their first game Friday against either South Carolina or Alabama. Calipari has had his share of success in league tournaments played in Tennessee, going 12-0 with four Conference USA titles in Memphis the previous four seasons. This roster features five freshmen, including the sensational John Wall and the stout DeMarcus Cousins. So Calipari had his Wildcats

Basically everything we do is based on how and where we finish the season,” Calipari said. “We’re trying to get ready and right physically and emotionally, and in every way so we can go in and do our very best. If you are your best and you do not win, then you can deal with it, as long as you’re your best. I want fresh legs. I want fresh minds. I want a competitive spirit. I want the players to expect to win so that when things get a little crazy, it’s OK.” Kentucky fans are helping create that crazy atmosphere. The search for tickets on the streets outside the arena already was under way Wednesday, and the blue faithful have been working every angle to squeeze into a much

No. 20 Vanderbilt also swept Florida this season, possibly giving the Commodores the easiest path toward their first tourney title since 1951. “It means a lot to us,” Stallings said. “We would like to play well, and we would like to be playing on Sunday with a chance to win the tournament.”

Highlanders celebrate another successful prep football season

Witherspoon: Nearly 30 but still healthy NASHVILLE — Will Witherspoon says Tennessee Titans fans need not worry about his age or his production. Witherspoon, who turns 30 in August, said he still has plenty of skills left as he joins his third team in the past year, agreeing to a three-year, $11 million contract with the Titans that was finalized Tuesday night. “In eight years, the best thing about it, my only issue ever is that I had one minor scoping. In eight years, I’ve only missed four games,” Witherspoon said Wednesday. “I feel like I’ve got a lot of good years left in me. If you had asked me eight years ago how long I thought I would play, I wouldn’t know. But if you ask me the same question today, I feel like I’ve got plenty more left in the tank. I don’t think people should be worried about me. If I get the choice, there’s a good possibility I’d like to finish my career here.” The deal is the team’s first signing since free agency began Friday, and the first toward revamping the linebacking corps. Ten-year veteran Keith Bulluck is an unrestricted free agent coming off surgery for a torn ACL

I’m sure they’ll try to outdo Kentucky at whatever they do,” Prince said. “I’m waiting to see. We won’t know till gametime.” The Vols (23-7) have won three straight and five of six. But Tennessee hasn’t won the SEC tournament since 1979, losing to Mississippi State in the title game last year. The last time the SEC

Also, David Thornton recently had pectoral surgery and was bothered by shoulder and hip problems throughout the 2009 season. He has just one year left on his deal. Middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch was offered a one-year tender worth a first-round pick if another team tries to sign him. Gerald McRath also started five games in Thornton’s place as a rookie. Of Witherspoon, Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said: “He has been a quality starting linebacker in this league for a number of years and shown the ability to play all three spots. His final landing spot will be sorted out as the roster is formed, but I would expect him to be in the mix for us at outside linebacker.” Witherspoon was released last week by the Philadelphia Eagles, who would have owed him $5 million for the 2010 season. The

Eagles acquired Witherspoon from the St. Louis Rams during the 2009 season. “My release in Philly was kind of a surprise to everyone. That just kind of came about, but the opportunity to come here arrived, and I said I definitely have to take a look at this,” Witherspoon said. Witherspoon, who had 92 tackles last season, not only fits a need for the Titans, he also has ties to the Nashville area. His father, Cordell, a retired military officer, was born in nearby Franklin, and Witherspoon still has uncles and cousins in the vicinity. “And knowing the organization and knowing coach (Jeff) Fisher and (linebackers) coach (Dave) McGinnis and kind of getting a better idea of what’s going on, all that kind of came into play,” Witherspoon said. “I’m going to do my best to make sure everybody knows what I’ve brought to the table here.”

effort is about halfway to its goal. “Donations like this are extremely important because every dollar contributed to Trails Forever is matched by the Aslan Foundation,” Scott says. “Essentially the dollars go twice as far.” When the full amount is raised, the money will serve as an endowment, with interest from it going to fund a third, full-time trail maintenance crew, including salaries and supplies. Currently there are only two such groups, one on either side of the state line that bisects the park, working to improve and make safer the hundreds of miles of paths in the park. That can be a tall order, Scott says. Only 45,000 copies of the Sha-Kon-O-Hey! CD were cut and plenty of those have

time this week, shouted to a crowd in Missouri, “The time for talk is over. It’s time to vote.” At the Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that after days of secretive talks, key Democrats were “pretty close” to accord on additional subsidies to help lower-income families purchase insurance, more aid for states under the Medicaid program for

low-income Americans and additional help for seniors who face a coverage gap under current Medicare drug plans. Pelosi, D-Calif., offered no details, and other officials cautioned that any final deal would hinge on cost estimates under preparation at the Congressional Budget Office. Several officials in both houses also said

Democrats were likely to impose a new payroll tax of as much as 2.9 percent on investment and dividend income earned by wealthy taxpayers. In addition, any legislation is expected to include a tax on high-cost insurance plans, along the lines of an agreement the White House negotiated late last year with organized labor.

Glen Bilbo that everything was going as planned, the project ground to a halt early last year when funding dried up. The property has since been foreclosed on by Regions Bank, which held massive liens after providing funding. Reports indicate the bank may be willing to subordinate its first mortgage if someone will come forward with about $6.5 million to jumpstart the project, which is estimated to be about 80 percent completed. The city of Pigeon Forge invested several million dollars to build a parking lot that would have served the development, though city officials insist it will be beneficial for other projects

in the area. Meanwhile, a number of local contractors say they still haven’t been paid. Rumors about the project’s future have swirled since hundreds of people who had just been hired were handed pink slips in early 2009. The gossip has indicated everyone from Debbie Reynolds’ son Todd — Reynolds was to have a Hollywood memorabilia museum at Belle Island — to Dollywood parent company Herschend Family Entertainment have been interested in the site. Dollywood spokeswoman Trish McGee denied Herschend interest. “I have heard the same rumor and I have been told

it is just that — a rumor with nothing behind it,” she said Wednesday. No matter who gets involved, Sevier County Bank President R.B. Summitt said there is some potential the development could be a positive addition to the community, even if his institution isn’t part of it. “Last year there were a couple of folks who had approached us about Belle Island, but we haven’t heard anything more about it,” Summitt said. “There are a lot of folks who need that to work, including the city, and there’s an opportunity there.”

Advice

Diabetic husband sometimes acts like he’s a preschooler

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Mitch” for seven years, and we have a 4-year-old son. Mitch provides well for us, and everyone at his job thinks he’s the best. Unfortunately, we see a different side of him at home. Mitch is diabetic. Sometimes he doesn’t take care of himself. When he hasn’t slept enough or eaten enough, he behaves like a mean, bratty child. We were recently invited to his parents’ home for dinner, and he announced that he wasn’t going to eat anything. On the drive home, he took a nap, and when he woke up, he had no memory of the way he had acted. I’ve noticed that a lot of his adolescent behavior takes place when we are with his family. He treats them horribly and never apologizes. Mitch even saw a counselor who pointed this out to him, so he quit going. A year ago, Mitch tried another counselor, who told him he was perfectly fine and maybe we should try marriage counseling. We did, but it didn’t help. I feel as if I am married to a preschooler. If Mitch doesn’t get his way, there’s a fight. He resents my family, so I’ve stopped spending time with them in order to avoid conflict. I feel trapped. I would leave, but I cannot support my son on my income alone. I no longer enjoy being with Mitch and am thankful when his job takes him out of town for several days. Any advice? -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Some of this is Mitch’s refusal to regulate his blood sugar levels. But

that is a conscious choice on his part and gives him an excuse to be rude and inconsiderate. Please try counseling again, and ask Mitch to come with you. If he refuses, go without him. Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old lady, getting married for the second time. Is it appropriate for a woman my age to wear an ivory wedding gown as long as it is not too extravagant? No veil or train. It would be a long, suit-type style. The second question is about wedding gifts. We have two full households and don’t need anything. Can we say “no gifts required” or “gift cards appreciated” so our guests don’t waste their money? I wouldn’t put it on the invitation, but rather in an attached card. Third, it’s a destination wedding. Should I provide a list of accommodations near the reception? Finally, do you have a recommended source of wedding etiquette for second marriages? -- New Bride Dear Bride: Yes, to the first question. A long, suit-type, off-white gown without a veil or train would be perfect. No, to the second. It is inappropriate to put anything in the invitation envelope about gifts. Spread the word to a close friend or relative, and let them notify guests who ask. Third, it would be lovely

to give your guests a list of available accommodations, and you might also check to see whether you can get a group discount. Finally, libraries, bookstores and websites are filled with etiquette advice. (You can’t go wrong with Peggy Post.) Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Not a Fan,” whose husband thinks the big-screen TV is all his and won’t let the rest of the family watch it. This man is nuts. While your reply was a good start, it does not fix the problem. You two recommend counseling for many people with less serious issues. This man has a family and needs to straighten up and act like it. He has some kind of mental problem. -- Clinton Township, Mich. Dear Clinton: The man seems a little obsessed and controlling about the TV. However, counseling is only effective when someone is willing to work on the problem. We doubt Hubby would bother, and without his cooperation, there’s little chance she can change his behavior.
