Governor candidates meet at Dollywood By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — The first victory for Sevier County in a local gubernatorial forum on tourism came before the event started: It’s likely the next governor of the state of Tennessee saw first hand how backed up traffic gets on Highway 66 during a busy tourist weekend. The Sevierville and Gatlinburg chambers of commerce organized the forum, which was held at the Showstreet Palace in Dollywood. All six of the major candidates for governor attended: Republicans Bill Gibbons, Bill Haslam, Ron Ramsey and Zach Wamp, and Democrats Kim McMillan and Mike McWherter. With one of the first sunny, warm Fridays of spring, any candidate who

It didn’t take long for the topic to come up during the forum; Gibbons pounced when host

Hallerin Hill asked how they would see to funding roads and infrastructure for tourism destinations in the state. “I saw the need for that just getting here this afternoon,” he said. McWherter alluded to

his father, former Gov. Ned McWherter. “In case any of you missed it, my last name is McWherter, and we love asphalt,” he said. He said he’d like to see some of the work his father started come to fruition, and work on new

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer Sevier County’s unemployment rate skyrocketed in the first month of the year, climbing to 14.7 percent, meaning almost 2,000 folks lost jobs in January. The news of 7,000 out of work is a reminder that, though economists insist the country has started on the upswing, the recession lingers in Sevier County. Steve Morse, University of

Tennessee economist and director of the Tourism Institute, told The Mountain Press the area may be something of a lagging indicator of recovery. That’s because, as Morse explains it, even when people do start spending again and the economy starts to climb, it could be a few months to a year before Americans again feel comfortable enough to get back into regular vacation schedules. “What you see happening first

in a recovery is usually some business spending,” Morse said. “Business travelers start making more flights and companies start making more goods. They start hiring people and those folks then have money to spend.” That may not translate into higher tourism numbers immediately. “Just the psychology of uncertainty about the future tells folks, even when they’re starting to spend more, that maybe

they should put some back for the future,” Morse said. “There’s always a lag like that. They’ll pay some bills or take care of some other things before they feel like they can start saving up for that vacation.” Even when they do start coming back to places like Sevier County, the trend of tourists spending less at destinations and waiting later to plan trips will likely continue a

Jason McKeon, an eighth grader at Sevierville Middle School, is a walking museum of knowledge when it comes to the Titanic.

Sevierville Middle student is Titanic buff By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Sevierville Middle School student Jason McKeon has been fascinated with the Titanic since he was in the fifth grade. “A friend got me interested in it,” the eighth grader said. “He showed me pictures of it in a book, and I liked how it looked.” The Titanic, a British-registered ocean liner built for transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York, sank on April 14, 1912, after it collided with an iceberg. Four days earlier it had left land with 2,200 passengers and crew — 1,500 people died and 700 others survived the catastrophe. See Titanic, Page A3

Tony Proffitt has announced his candidacy for re-election to the Sevier County Commission, District 3, Seat B. “I feel well qualified with 16 years as your present commissioner,” he said. “I have completed several training programs d u r i n g this time, including Proffitt Leadership Sevier. I completed the Local Government Leadership Program provided by the University of Tennessee. Very few county commissioners across the state have completed this program.” Proffitt has served in law enforcement for 37 years, 31 as a wildlife officer and six as a school resource officer. He lists these accomplishments in the 3rd District over the years: 1. Schools. “New Center is one of the best with a great facility and staff at all levels. The buildings are in good shape and as student populations have not expanded as fast, we have

been able to catch up with the building program.” 2. Roads. The vast majority of roads in the district are in excellent condition, he said. “Our road superintendent deserves credit for this.” 3. Fire Department. “We have an excellent fire department and are blessed with both quality and quantity of volunteers who make this happen. I feel strongly that an ambulance is needed to complete our emergency services in our district. The time difference between an ambulance stationed here and one having to come here from Sevierville could save some lives.” 4. Water and Sewer. Part of the 3rd District has water and sewer, but it needs to be extended to the rest of the district, he said. “I, like several others, worry about our wells. If Highway 411 is a reality some day, water and sewer in place could help this area grow.” Proffitt feels he has made “many good decisions for the county and I have some that probably are not that good, but I do try. The only promise I make to you is I will serve the 3rd District as fairly as I know how.”

while, Morse said. According to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, unemployment increased in all 95 of Tennessee’s counties. Though Sevier County’s jump was high, it’s at the top of the middle range for rates statewide. Morse points out the real indicator is how this January compares to the same period last year and in previous years. The January 2010 rate is 1.4 percent higher than

the one for the previous January. In 2007, before the recession’s beginning, the first month of the year brought a paltry 8.8 percent unemployment rate in the county. Meanwhile, the bottom of the latest list brings up Marshall County with a crippling 20.3 percent rate. Closer to home, Blount County’s number increased 1.2 percent between December and January to land at 10.7; Cocke County’s jumped 2.5 for a January figure of 16.6; and Jefferson County experienced a similar 2.5 percent increase to settle at 15.3 percent for the

He also had a specific idea for how to use the funds locally: “Here in this area, we need to get a bypass so that we can get people through here so they spend more of their time in your attractions and less of their time in their cars.� Hill also brought up a very local issue by asking the candidates how they would address the discrepancies in state funds sent to Nashville by Sevier County and the amount coming back. Haslam, getting first crack at the question, acknowledged that the state is obligated see to it that many funds go to the counties in equitable ways but said he hoped to address an issue that’s come up in particular in Sevier County and Blount County — discrepancies in the Basic Education Program (BEP) funds. “I do think we have another obligation and that’s to have the BEP formula be understandable and clear,� he said.

Economist expecting revenue growth next year By LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — The state’s leading economist said Friday that he expects to see revenue growth heading into next year despite poor tax collections and a stagnant unemployment rate. Bill Fox, director of the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research, addressed the State Funding Board. Tennessee continues to grapple with worse-than-expected tax returns. Finance Commissioner

Dave Goetz said earlier this month that the state has had 21 consecutive months of negative growth in sales tax collections since January 2008. But Fox said he expects tax revenues to flatten out the remainder of the year. Then early next year, he predicts economic growth that will encourage consumers and businesses to spend more, which he believes will translate into positive sales tax revenue. “Am I expecting a robust year, no,� Fox said. “But am I expecting for the first time in three

years to see positive revenue growth, yes.� He said another positive sign that the economy is beginning to turn around is that many businesses are becoming more productive. However, he said they’ve adjusted to doing more with fewer people, which isn’t good for someone seeking employment. Tennessee’s unemployment rate for February remained at 10.7 percent, unchanged from January, according to the state Labor and Workforce Department.

Jobs increased in state governmental education services by 3,100 and in educational and health services by another 3,000, the department said. But employment decreased by 1,800 jobs in mining and construction and by 1,400 jobs in transportation and warehousing. Nevertheless, Fox said it’s “encouraging that the rate has stabilized.� Andy Davis, chief financial officer for the Tennessee Lottery, also addressed the Funding Board on Friday. He said the lottery is expecting to make $6

million more than last year, and he attributes part of the increase to an improving economy. “If people feel good about the fact that their income is going to be OK, and their job is going to be OK ... then they may look at some more discretionary spending,� Davis said. The Funding Board is scheduled to hear projections from other economists later this month, as well as a presentation from Arthur Laffer, who was a member of President Ronald Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board.

Bank robbers from upscale suburb By TRAVIS LOLLER and SHEILA BURKE Associated Press Writers BRENTWOOD — Two bank robbers whose lives ended in a deadly shootout on St. Patrick’s Day were college students from the upscale Nashville suburb of Brentwood whom friends described on a Facebook tribute page as creative and funny. Ryan Skinner, the 20-year-old getaway driver, was a Western Kentucky University student and an aspiring meteorologist who had an internship at a Nashville television station last year. David Cotton, a 21-year-old student at Columbia State Community College, is shown in a police video shooting at a police cruiser while hanging out the getaway car’s window. He dressed as a Leprechaun during the robbery and has been identified as the person who robbed a Nashville bank dressed as Santa Claus in December. Police are still searching for clues to explain why the pair would resort to crime. “This is unusual to have two individuals of their apparent financial stature robbing banks,� said Keith Moses, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI office in Nashville. “But it goes back to the motive, and that we’ve yet to determine.� The seemingly cold-blooded way in which Cotton fired on police after the Wednesday robbery starkly contrasted with the fun-loving person friends described in Internet postings. “David, you were an intelligent, funny and creative guy and a great friend,� a Facebook posting from Heather Duensing reads. Cotton made a number of silly videos and short films posted on YouTube, including one called “Spink: Attack of the Killer Ink Pens.�

His parents and siblings said in a statement issued through a family friend that Cotton was a “sunshine person.� “To us he was a warm, loving and thoughtful son and brother. He was quick with a smile and a helping hand. His intelligence and creativity were wonderful and enjoyable. His friendliness made him a joy to be around.� Jill Skinner, Ryan Skinner’s older sister, said the family wasn’t ready to talk about his death. “We are absolutely shocked and bewildered and we just want to leave it at that,� she said on Friday. Jordan Diaz writes on Facebook that he met both Cotton and Skinner as Freshmen at Brentwood High School. “Ryan was quiet, but a nice dude. David had a good sense of humor. They both made doing the Christmas play fun. ... I couldn’t imagine them harming a fly.� The FBI’s Moses said Cotton joked with bank tellers in a similar way during both the Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day robberies. He declined to reveal what was said, but a witness to the Dec. 22 heist told WTVF-TV in Nashville he was frightened by the jovial robber who pulled a gun from his Santa sack and demanded money, saying he needed it for his elves. Police have since recovered a Santa suit from Cotton’s residence. Investigators aren’t sure if Cotton acted alone in December because there was no getaway driver spotted during that robbery. Security footage from both holdups showed what looked to be the same weapon used in both bank heists, Moses said. Cotton used a Kimber .45 caliber semi-automatic weapon in the St. Patrick’s Day robbery. It’s the same gun Cotton is holding in a YouTube video that appears to

spoof police dramas, Gallatin Police Chief John Tisdale said. It’s also the gun he used to kill himself when police surrounded Cotton and Skinner in a field near a subdivision. The two were standing and appeared unharmed when Cotton said something to Skinner that police weren’t close enough to hear and then shot himself, Tisdale said. Skinner then reached down and grabbed the gun before police shot and killed him. “Our preference would have been to capture them without hurting them,� Tisdale said. It is relatively rare for bank robberies to turn violent. Statistics compiled by the FBI indicate that in 2008 — the last year for which complete statistics are available — there were 6,849 robberies, burglaries and larcenies of banks and similar financial institutions. Only 4 percent of those involved acts of violence, and fewer than 1 percent resulted in anyone’s death. Cotton previously had a scrape with the law and was serving a three-year probation sentence for burglarizing two Brentwood schools over a threeday period. Cotton and another man, who was not involved in the St. Patrick’s Day robbery, stole more than $25,000 worth of computers, cameras and other electronic equipment from Crockett Elementary and Woodland Middle School. Some of the more bizarre items taken in the thefts include a large, stuffed Clifford the Big Red Dog and a yellow traffic-control light, Brentwood Police Capt. Tommy Walsh said. Police eventually discovered many of the electronic items on sale on eBay and recovered them from the homes of Cotton and his accomplice, Christopher Ververis.

Police on Thursday said the two suspects who died after a shootout with Gallatin police were Cotton of Brentwood and Skinner, a Western Kentucky University student. Both were 20 years old.

UT spokesman says gun bill unnecessary NASHVILLE (AP) — A University of Tennessee spokesman said a state lawmaker’s attempt to get involved with student-athlete gun rights is unnecessary, and the university has its own new policy. University vice president Hank Dye told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that earlier comments about a “zero-tolerance policy statement� regarding guns were overstated. Republican state Rep. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville is sponsoring a measure that would prevent university officials from suspending athletes who have guns, legally or illegally. Dye said the university has a new zero-tolerance policy on athletes possessing firearms when they are involved in university events and traveling to or from those events. “It is our feeling that the existing law allows us to provide this direction for our student athletes without infringing on their Second Amendment rights,� Dye said in an e-mail Friday. “Our concern is that the proposed amendment does not.� Campfield told the newspaper he believes university officials now are “trying to back away a little bit, but they still have that right.� “My bill hopefully would stop them from going down the road when they start doing that,� Campfield told the newspaper. He said his legislation says that if a “student is on their own time, on their own property, is a legal gun owner, that the university can’t penalize that

understands that and has backed away from that.� Hamilton was accompanying the basketball team, and Dye said Friday he would pass along a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Tenn. to send 10 buses to immigration reform march By TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — In his role as a lay minister and translator at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lewisburg, Jose Gomez hears a lot about the problems his fellow Hispanics face. “A lot of people are suffering,” he said. “It’s very hard to get a job, and many people have no papers.” That’s part of the reason Gomez

commentary

T h r e e CH e e r s Terry Maddox receives well-deserved recognition

Many docs may depart if bill OK’d If Obamacare becomes law, about 30 percent of the primary care doctors in America will consider leaving the medical profession. That bit of brightness comes from a survey by The Medicus Firm, the results of which were posted by The New England Journal of Medicine. Medicus interviewed more than a thousand American physicians, and 55 percent of them believe the quality of medical care in America will decline if the Democrats pass the current health care reform proposals. Apparently, many of them want no part of it. Although the media largely ignored the Medicus study, the story is huge. Perhaps as many as 30 million more Americans may have access to health insurance. The question is: Who will treat them? The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 22 percent increase in practicing physicians over the next decade. But that will not be enough to treat the universal health care crush, especially if a bunch of doctors now on the job pack it in. There are essentially two reasons why Obamacare nauseates some doctors. First, control. Medical people simply do not want federal pinheads telling them how to treat their patients. The medical profession attracts intelligent, assertive people who are motivated to help others. This is not a docile crowd. Second, money. Right now, many doctors are already seeing too many patients in order to pay the bills and provide a decent living for their families. Obamacare does nothing to bring down the outrageous expense of medical malpractice insurance, and it is likely to cut Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements. Doctors can do the math. Their expenses remain high; their incomes decline. Again, these are smart people who could make good money doing something else. In Canada and Great Britain, where socialized medicine is practiced, it is difficult to actually see a doctor in some places. Instead, nurses, physician assistants and other medical personnel fill the need. That is what could happen in the United States if the feds begin calling the health care shots. Not since the Iraq war has America been so divided on an issue. Yes, ideology is playing a part. Conservatives despise government intrusion in the marketplace, but liberals love it. Right now, however, most polls show that the majority has turned on Obamacare. The latest Wall Street Journal poll, for example, found 48 percent opposing and just 36 percent supporting. Here’s my question: What would Marcus Welby, M.D., and Dr. Kildare say? These guys usually had the answers, back when wise doctors were the subjects of TV programs and health care seemed to be a glamorous profession. Would Ben Casey support Obamacare? We know the “M*A*S*H” guys would. Dr. Jekyll might like it, but Mr. Hyde? I don’t know. What I do know is that many Americans are sick of the whole health care thing. And no prescription on earth will change that. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You? Distributed by Creators Syndicate. (C)2009 Bill O’Reilly.

Terry Maddox is one of those behindthe-scenes guys who knows how to get things done without getting the recognition he probably deserves. That has changed. Maddox, executive director of the Great Smoky Mountains Association, received national recognition when he was recently presented the James V. Murfin Award at the annual Association of Partners for Public Lands convention in San Diego. The award is presented to an individual who has made a significant and lasting contribution to the partnership between the National Park Service and cooperating associations. Since joining GSMA in 1990, Maddox has more than done that. The nonprofit association generates revenue from management of bookstores and online services to provide funding for a number of programs including Parks in Classrooms and elk restoration. In fact, during Maddox’s tenure, GSMA has increased annual revenue from $350,000 to about $2 million and has totaled about $22 million in revenue in support of the national park. It’s right that Maddox received this recognition.

Future appears bright for DAR local honorees

Laura Ogle and Austin Nave are the kind of young people that have those intangibles; there are things about them that make them almost destined to succeed in life. Certainly the Spencer Clack Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution thought so by honoring the two area high school seniors with NSDAR Good Citizenship awards. Both Ogle, a student at Seymour High School, and Nave, who attends Sevier County High School, have show they excel in many areas, in and out of the classroom. Both have a good idea of what they want to do with their lives: Ogle wants to study music and education in college; Nave wants to earn a degree in the medical field. Ogle is involved in school musicals and choir and honor societies. Nave, likewise, is an honors student, and participated in football and basketball at SCHS. Both are heavily involved in their churches. The awards are well deserved. They epitomize good citizenship.

Cool cats cruise 66 to deliver the goods

They’re the envy of their neighborhoods, those cool cats with their cool antique cars. You can’t help but do a double-take as those ’57 Chevys, ’65 Mustangs, Corvettes and souped-up muscle cars glide down Highway 66, Veterans Boulevard or Dolly Parton Parkway. A lot of the people behind the wheels of those cars are cool in another way — members of the Diner Rats Car Club, who last Saturday held their second annual Shamrock Cruisin’ for Food event. They drove from Smokies Stadium down Highway 66 to club headquarters at The Diner to call attention to Sevier County Food Ministries and to the Wears Valley Ranch Children’s Home. Members of the club collected food and money that was to be distributed to the charities. Other members of the community dropped off food at the stadium or made financial contributions. Organizers of the event said some local businesses even got involved. The owners of those antique cars are cool in more ways than one.

Public forum Mother received great service at Pigeon Forge Care & Rehab

Editor: Last week I received a call from Pigeon Forge Care & Rehabilitation Center informing me that my mother had passed on. Though I know I will miss my regular visits with her, I rejoiced and gave thanks to God. Mother was finally home. It is thrilling to picture her with my dad and my grandson worshipping the Lord. Now that several days have elapsed, my siblings and I want to publicly express deep gratitude for the wonderful care my mom received at PFC&R. She always told me how nice the people were and how good the food was. I can attest to the love they showed my mother. The staff was patient, kind, creative and determined to address mother’s needs with compassion and respect. We had cared for my mom in our home until she required 24-hour care. The decline in her condition prior to admission was so severe, we thought she had only weeks or months to live. She surprised us all by improving and making it past her 99th birthday. Shortly before Mom died, one of her nurses who had lovingly cared for her died. This dear nurse spent her last weeks as a patient in the same facility where she had cared for so many. The fact that she wanted to be a patient at Pigeon Forge Care and Rehab speaks volumes about the people and the programs. We had never wanted Mom to be in a nursing home, but after she had been there about six months and had improved tremendously, my mom told me, “I really think the stimulation of being with people my own age has been good for me.” She also said, “There are a lot of Christians

here, but there are others who don’t know the Lord, so that gives me a mission.” Within the last six months, Mom had a day of clarity and asked the staff to help her pray with everyone in the facility. Mom rolled her chair down the corridor and one by one prayed with residents and staff. Now, her mission completed, she is enjoying the perfect salvation purchased for her by her Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord. James P. Wood Wears Valley

Abandoning house cats leaves them to starve, certain death

Editor: I just returned from a stay in a cabin near the Upper Middle creek area. Before leaving we counted four adolescent cats that had come on our deck looking for food. I tossed one a piece of a hot dog and it swallowed the piece without chewing. They devoured bread we threw down. Obviously, they had not eaten for days. To whomever dropped these cats: They are starving and terrified. Many people don’t understand that house cats are not able to successfully fend for themselves in the wild. People staying in these cabins do not leave food out, for fear of attracting bears. Anyone abandoning animals are leaving them to a fate of starving to death or being killed by another animal or person. I wish I could have brought them with me and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since I left. They are very young and all of them had beautiful coats. Two of them were solid white.

They appear to have been abandoned recently and they are not feral. If anyone would be interested in helping them, you can e-mail to maynar39@yahoo.com. Leaving animals in the woods to die is not an acceptable alternative. Don’t delay having your pets spayed or neutered. Find kittens or puppies a home when they are young. Most papers will let you place ads in the classifieds for free. Abandoning them is completely irresponsible and could have been prevented. They did not deserve this. Amie Maynard Huntington, W.Va.

Great outpouring of support refreshing, exciting to see

Editor: Standing together, It was so refreshing and exciting to see the great outpouring of support for our county leaders Monday night and even more exciting to see an affirmation of our willingness to stand up for Jesus Christ and our right to pray. Not only was all the the media taking notice, but I believe heaven was as well. I don’t know how our stand was viewed by the press, but I am certain our Heavenly Father was well pleased. We must continue to be mindful of what we could lose if we fail to stand our ground on this matter. God’s word says, “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.” I am proud to stand with our county leaders and fellow Christians on this issue. Praise the Lord. Pastor Kim D. McCroskey Roaring Fork Baptist Church Gatlinburg

Tigers top old coach

Eagles soar to big early lead ...

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers baseball team played unkind hosts to John Battle, coached by former Orange-and-Black skipper Larry Cannon, in a second-round Smoky Mountain Invitational tournament contest Friday night at Jack A. Parton Field that ended in a 4-0 Tigers win. Cannon was the first high school coach in Pigeon Forge history and led the program for seven years before current third-year coach Mike Guinn took the reigns. “I have the utmost respect for Larry Cannon,” said Guinn, following the Pigeon Forge win. “Larry built Pigeon Forge baseball into what it is, and I’m just following his footsteps and trying to keep it up.” But on Friday night, it wasn’t a happy homecoming for Cannon, primarily due to the hot bat of senior DH Hayden Whaley, who went 2-for-3 with two big RBIs in the low-scoring affair. The Tigers earned a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first after senior Bret Gallihugh struck out but took first base after the John Battle catcher failed to hold onto the third strike and then hit Gallihugh in the helmet with his throw to first base. Whaley Followed with a 2-0 rip to the left-center gap for a double. Freshman first baseman Colt Buchanan followed with a two-out RBI single to make it 2-0 Pigeon Forge at the end of one. Tigers senior Justin Carter started something in the bottom of the fifth inning. After being hit by a pitch, he stole second and third bases. Gallihugh followed with a walk, and Carter plated on a wild pitch moments later to make it 3-0 Tigers. Gallihugh advanced to third base on the wild pitch, and Whaley came up with his second clutch hit of the game, plating Gallihugh with a single to make it the eventual final. Freshman Wil Crowe was impressive in the start, pitching five innings and totaling seven Ks with no walks and just one hit allowed. Carter came in for two innings of relief and closed the game with four strikeouts with just one hit and one walk allowed.

Seymour pitcher Oakley Fox fires a pitch in to Gatlinburg-Pittman right fielder Spencer Lewis in the top of the third inning at Don Doyle Field in Seymour. The game was 13-0 Seymour in the bottom of the fourth inning at Press deadline. The Eagles jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the first inning and scattered six more scores over the next three innings.

Ohio hoping to extend NCAA run By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

The Sevier County High School Aqua Bears had a great campaign in 2009-2010.

Aqua Bears cap off successful year SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School swim team recently finished the 2009-2010 season with memorable swims both in the dual meets and in the last two championship meets of the year. The team had a phenomenal year and finished the season with the Knoxville Interscholastic Swim League’s City Meet held in Knoxville on January 23 and competed in the Tennessee High school State Meet in Nashville on February 12-14. These two championship swim meets are prelim/final format with the top 16 swimmers in each event returning in the evening for Finals.

City Meet: Six SCHS swimmers attended the KISL City Meet this past Jan. 23, and competed in a meet where certain times had to be previously achieved to compete. Meet highlights included both Girls 200 yard Medley and 400 yard Freestyle relays placing in the top eight. The team had four senior swimmers return to finals — Zack Burnett, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Winters and Sarah Nowack and a freshman, Natalie Burnett. Individual Results: Ivy Bremer (So.) — swam in her first championship meet of the season and achieved personal

best times in the 50yd Free (40.56) and in the 100yd Free (1:31:51). Sarah McFalls (Sr.) — Swam personal best times in the 50yd Free (30.56) dropping over a second and in the 100yd free (1:09.01) she dropped another second. Sarah Winters (Sr.) — Swam the 200yd Individual medley (2:40.55) with a season’s best and in the 100yd Backstroke (1:10.51) dropping over three seconds from her previous time. Sarah was one of four girls on the 200yd Medley relay (1:58.98) and the 400yd Freestyle relay (3:54.96) that finished 5th in both races and were sea-

son’s bests. Sarah Nowack (Sr.) — Swam the 100yd Butterfly (1:01.73) in finals finishing 6th overall and swam the 100yd Breaststroke (1:08.75) in finals and finished 2nd. Sarah was also a part of the 200yd Medley and 400yd Free that finished 5th. Danielle Gibson (Sr.) — Competed in the 200yd Individual Medley (2:21.24) where she finished 7th overall and in the 100yd Breaststroke (1:13.85) she finished 8th overall. Danielle was also a part of the fifth place finishing relays in the See SWIMMING, Page A9

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Ohio coach John Groce majored in math and taught it in high school and likes to use numbers when he’s preparing his team or analyzing opponents. So how do the Bobcats explain this: They lost 14 games in the regular season, finishing below .500 in the mid-major MidAmerica Conference to earn a No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament. Then knocked off third-seeded Georgetown — the biggest upset in a first day full of them — by, you guessed it, 14 points. “I think that’s why you come to a midmajor school: the challenge of getting into the tournament. And then to win, to advance in a tournament, is another big thing,” Ohio guard Armon Bassett said Friday. “I think people are starting to like us and starting to follow us. But we’ve just got to keep a level head, a narrow path and stay humble. And keep trying to string these W’s together.” Ohio, which was only the ninth seed in its conference tournament, knocked off No. 3 NCAA seed Georgetown 97-83 on Thursday night. With a victory over sixthseeded Tennessee (26-8) on Saturday, the Bobcats (22-14) would become just the third No. 14

seed to advance to the round of 16 since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. “It’s always something you have to worry about when you play somebody seeded lower than you, that they’ll come in with a chip on their shoulder,” Vols guard Melvin Goins said. “But we have a chip on our shoulders, too.” Cleveland State in 1986 and Chattanooga in ’97 are the only No. 14 seeds to reach the regional semifinals, and it’s never been done by a No. 15 or 16 seed. And it’s all of no consequence to Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl. “I have no idea what seed they are. It doesn’t matter what seed they are,” said Pearl, who has advanced to the second weekend of the NCAAs twice in the previous three years. “They’re the MAC champions and they’re standing in our way of advancing to the Sweet 16. They don’t care if it’s Tennessee or the SEC. They know we have one shot at a bright shining moment and doing something very special for that school. “I think if you asked our guys, they won’t know what seed Ohio is. But they can tell you they beat Georgetown last night by double-digits. And they can tell you how many points their kids had. And how many points their team scored and what they’re capable of.”

Floods turn fields into sprawling lakes KRAGNES, Minn. (AP) — For farmer Brian Thomas, getting to town for errands is no simple matter these days as floodwaters cover fields and sections of country roads in the rural areas near Fargo, N.D. He wades through shallow rapids cascading across his driveway, then drives a mud-spattered pickup on a narrow dirt road until so much water blocks his path that he must hop into a motorboat and putt-putt over a cornfield resembling a sprawling lake. Finally, about four miles from home, he gets into his waiting car and drives to the nearest town. “It’s kind of a hassle,� Thomas, 52, said Thursday as he jerked the rope to restart the boat motor. As the cities of Moorhead, Minn., and next-door Fargo nervously wait for the Red River’s expected crest on Sunday at 19.5 feet above the flood

stage, some of the region’s farmland is already under water after smaller rivers, swollen with melting snow, overflowed. Even fields that aren’t buried in water are so saturated that they look like vast expanses of squishy black mud. At this point it’s mostly an inconvenience, growers say. Spring planting is a month or more away for crops such as corn, soybeans and sugar beets. If the rain holds off and unusually warm temperatures don’t melt the remaining snowpack too rapidly over the next few weeks, the waters could recede, enabling a decent or even good growing season. But a worst-case scenario — heavy spring rains and prolonged flooding well into April — could spell trouble for this year’s crops, while also causing problems for livestock producers during the crucial calving season.

Advice

You don’t have to defend yourself against reaction to vindictive mother

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My son was recently married in a small, private ceremony. For some unknown reason, my mother did not want to attend, but eventually, she and my father decided to show up. The entire time, my mother acted very rudely toward my son, my inlaws and me. We caught her lying, and she tried to blame my mother-inlaw. A few days later, she falsely accused us all of various things. My mother is spiteful and vindictive. Plus, she is a compulsive liar. Since the wedding, I have kept my distance. However, my father has told other relatives I should not treat my mother this way and should forgive her. Mom has always turned situations like these in her favor. The family will never hear my side of the story because I refuse to play this game. So how does the truth come out? — Daughter of a Witch Dear Daughter: We assume other family members are well aware of Mom’s personality flaws, and you shouldn’t feel you have to defend yourself to them. If they ask about the rift, you can tell them your version of events. It is also possible to forgive your mother while keeping your distance from her emotional abuse, and we recommend it. Frankly, it sounds as if Mom may be suffering from some type of mental illness, and you might encourage her to see a doctor for professional help. Dear Annie: I have been married to my highschool sweetheart for three years, and we have a beautiful little girl. The

“other person” in our relationship is his PlayStation 2. My husband has played these annoying video games since I met him. He will tie up the TV all evening and doesn’t spend any time with his family. I want him to grow up. We have discussed this problem several times, and he will stop for a while, but then start right back up again. We even purchased a second TV for him to play on, but it doesn’t change the amount of time he spends with the baby. We have planned family nights, but they never happen. How can I get him to stop? — Video Widow Dear Video Widow: It’s time to put your foot down. Video games can be highly addictive, especially the online variety. Explain to your husband that he doesn’t seem to have the self-control to turn off the game as promised, so you want him to pick a specific period of time every day when you will unplug it. That will be your family time, and you expect him to honor it. We hope it helps. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Life’s a Beach” was way off base. Every summer, she has to put up with his many relatives visiting. You said she can’t do anything if her husband keeps telling the relatives they are wel-

come, and that she should make her own plans. Excuse me? She is supposed to leave her own home? I don’t think so. It’s high time she invoked her homeowner’s right to tell these people “no.” What gives her husband the right to ignore her wishes and capitulate to these spongers? She’ll eventually resent him for it. Please tell her to contact the relatives herself and tell them tactfully, “Sorry, but no.” Someone has to have a backbone here, or ulcers will follow. — CM Dear CM: And he’ll want to know what right she has to prevent him from allowing his family to visit, and will eventually resent her for it. Sometimes, husbands and wives are at odds and neither side is completely right or wrong. Compromise is best, but when that doesn’t happen, it is unrealistic to think you can control someone else’s behavior. If she cannot tolerate his relatives and he refuses to tell them “no,” she should set aside some time for herself, wherever that may be.

Judge orders renegotiation of 9/11 settlement By DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — A federal judge on Friday rejected a legal settlement that would have given at least $575 million to people sickened by ash and dust from the World Trade Center, saying the deal shortchanged 10,000 ground zero workers whom he called heroes. “In my judgment, this settlement is not enough,� said U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who delivered his pronouncement to a stunned gallery at a federal courthouse in Manhattan. Rising from his chair, the 76-year-old jurist said he feared police officers, firefighters and other laborers who cleared rubble after the 9/11 terror attacks were being pushed into signing a deal few of them understood. Under the terms of the settlement, workers had been given just 90 days to say yes or no to a deal that would have assigned them payments based on a point system that Hellerstein said was complicated enough to make a Talmudic scholar’s head

spin. “I will not preside over a settlement that is based on fear or ignorance,� he said. Of the proposed settlement of $575 million to $657 million, workers stood to get amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to more than $1 million. Hellerstein said the deal should be richer. Too much of it would be eaten up by legal fees, he said. A third or more of the money set aside for the workers was expected to go to their lawyers. Some plaintiffs had agreed at the start of the case to give as much as 40 percent of any judgment to cover fees and expenses. That might have meant $200 million or more going to attorneys. Hellerstein, who presides over all federal court litigation related to the terror attacks, ripped into the agreement after hearing several ground zero responders speak tearfully of their illnesses and after receiving letters and phone calls from others expressing confusion about the deal. AP Photo/Louis Lanzano He said he was speaking “from the Retired New York City firefighter Keith Delmar, who testified in heart� out of great compassion for the court, suffering from a variety of respiratory ailments is seen outside thousands of men and women who spent Manhattan federal court, Friday in New York. time at ground zero.

7th anniversary of Iraq War passes with little notice

A man looks from inside his tent at a homeless earthquake survivors camp during heavy rains in Port-au-Prince, Friday.

Heavy rains swamp camps holding Haiti’s homeless PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — One of the heaviest rainfalls since Haiti’s Jan. 12 earthquake swamped homeless camps Friday, sweeping screaming residents into eddies of water, overflowing latrines and panicking thousands. The overnight downpour sent water coursing down the slopes of a former golf course that now serves as a temporary home for about 45,000 people. There were no reports of deaths in the camp, a townsize maze of blue, orange and silver tarps located behind the country club used by the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne as a forward-operating base. But the deluge terrified families who just two months ago survived the collapse of their homes in the magnitude-7 earthquake and are now struggling to

make do in tent-and-tarp camps that officials have repeatedly said must be relocated. “I was on one side (of the tarp), the children were on the other side and I was trying to push the water out,� Jackquine Exama, a 34-year-old mother of seven, said through tears. “I’m not used to this,� she said. Aid workers said people were swept screaming into eddies of water and flows ripped down tents an Israeli aid group is using to teach school. “They were crying. There was just fear down there. It was chaos,� said Jim Wilson of the aid group Praecipio, who came running from his own shelter up the hill when he heard the screams. After the sun rose Friday, people used sticks and their bare hands to dig drainage

ditches around their tarps and shanties. Marie Elba Sylvie, 50, could not decide whether it was worth repairing damage to her lean-to of scrap wood and plastic. “It could be fixed but when it rains again it will be the same problem,� said the 50-year-old mother of four. Standing water and mud also pervaded a tarp-andtent city on the outskirts of Cite Soleil, several miles away. Residents waded through the shallow flood collecting their belongings. Officials know they must move many of the 1.3 million people displaced by the earthquake before the rainy season starts in earnest in April. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon told reporters at the golf-course camp Sunday that the people living there were in particular danger.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It was a day like any other day — except that it was the seventh anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. And, for the most part, that was forgotten. “Honestly, with everything that’s going on in my personal life, it slipped my mind,� said Chris Skidmore, 39, as he sipped a drink on the artificial lawn at Raleigh’s North Hills Mall. “I’ve been out of work since August of last year.� It’s not that the average American isn’t aware that we still have tens of thousands or troops in Iraq, or that nearly 4,400 U.S. military personnel have died there since the war began. Scattered demonstrations were scheduled around the country to call for the troops’ swift

return. But with so much else going on — a torpid economy, a climactic debate over health care reform, a mounting conflict in Afghanistan — it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that Americans are still fighting and dying in Iraq. Somewhat sheepishly, Princeton University historian Sean Wilentz acknowledged that the

date’s significance was lost on him. But he said he and other Americans can be forgiven for not having March 19 marked on their mental calendars. “Unlike Sept. 11 or unlike Dec. 7, 1941, it was not a war that began with a traumatic event,� said Wilentz. “There was a long buildup to it. There was a lot of debating back and forth.�
