PIGEON FORGE — Rain may have left visitors who turned out for Dollywood’s special sneak peek day Friday a little soggy, but it did nothing to dampen the spirits as Sevier County favorite daughter Dolly Parton kicked off the attraction’s 25th season.

Parton giggled as a shower of silver glitter rained down on her in the park’s Celebrity Theater during a speRELATED cial morning appearPHOTOS ance in which she 4Page A17 came on stage riding a float shaped like a giant metallic cake.

“I came in on a cake when we celebrated our first anniversary. I cannot believe it has been 25 years since we opened this park,” she said, drawing cheers from a capacity crowd in Dollywood’s largest theater. “When I started this park 25 years ago, my business managers told me it was a bad idea.

Obviously, they’re not with me anymore.”

In the two and a half decades since Parton bought into what was previously known as Silver Dollar City, the park and its sister properties here have brought in more than 40 million visitors. Parton said that’s proof she had the right idea when, in a 1982 interview, she proclaimed her intention to get into the theme park business and Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press find a way to help her home in the Dolly Parton shows off her Adventure Mountain-themed cosSmoky Mountains.

“This was a dream of mine from tume as she introduces the newest attraction at Dollywood on the start,” Parton said. “I always Friday. thought, ‘If I ever get big enough, I want to go back and do something for my home.’

I’m so proud of the people of the Smoky Mountains.”

Likewise, Parton declared her pride for what she and the folks at Dollywood have been able to accomplish together in building what has become one of the nation’s premier theme parks.

She lauded its selection as the top show park in the world, its landing at the top of the heap for its Smoky Mountain Christmas Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press festival, and its being named one of the top A mosaic of almost 9,000 photos of Parton are arranged to create her signature in the Hall of Memories at Dollywood.

PIGEON FORGE — As Dollywood celebrates its 25th birthday this year, it’s turning the tables and giving presents to thousands of lucky visitors on a daily basis throughout they year.

Though officials remained tightlipped about that particular part of the celebration, opting only to say there would be “surprises” to recognize park guests, the cat was out of the bag during Friday’s sneak peek event when the first of the gifts were given out to unsuspecting folks.

“We just walked up to some season passholders and gave them a bag of prizes,” Dollywood Finance Director Cindy Smelcer said of her first two interactions with guests.

“They were so excited. They never expected they’d get a present just for coming to Dollywood today.”

“We want to recognize our season passholders and thank them for coming out to visit. We really want to let them know we appreciate them being loyal guests of our park.”

— Barbara Joines, Dollywood VP and General Manager

What the two families got — one season passholders for four years and the others having held the annual tickets for all 25 years since country superstar Dolly Parton bought into the park — was a bag full of prizes that included an autographed picture and a copy of the soundtrack from the “Sha-Kon-O-Hey!” show that Parton also signed.

“Today is all about Dolly,” Dollywood Vice President and

KODAK — Northview firefighters are thanking Sevier County detectives for tracking down equipment stolen by a former firefighter before they needed it at a call.

Detectives have charged Charity Nicole Hayes, 29, of Knoxville, with aggravated burglary in the crime.

They believe she used a computerized code Thursday Hayes morning to get into a substation for the Northview Volunteer Fire Department, which also houses a substation for the Sevier County Ambulance Service and the Sevier County Volunteer Rescue Squad.

They allegedly found the items taken from the station, which included a computer owned by the ambulance service, along with a two-way radio and emergency medical equipment. All were returned to the agencies they belonged to, according to Sheriff Ron Seals.

“One of the things we’re just grateful abut is we found out before we had a call,” said Daniel Willis, public information officer of Northview Volunteer Fire Department.

Bolze waits to learn fate

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

General Manager Barbara Joines said. “Every seventh day will be all about Dolly and people will get things like they’re getting today. In between we’ll be giving out things like food vouchers, merchandise, tickets to Dixie Stampede and all kinds of things. There may even be some season passes handed out.”

Throughout the season, park employees at the entrance gates will be distributing special silver lanyard to passholders, who will be asked to wear them throughout each visit they make in the 25th anniversary year. Hosts on the property will be searching out those with the accoutrement, picking 25 of them daily and totally at random to receive one of the prizes for the day.

“Our motto is, ‘You never know when, you never know where, you never know who,’” Joines explained.

KNOXVILLE — Gatlinburg financial schemer Dennis Bolze will have to wait about a month longer than expected to find out his fate after admitting he swindled about a hundred folks out of tens of millions of dollars.

Officials with U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Bolze Tennessee filed a notice this week announcing Bolze’s sentencing hearing will now be held on May 19, rather than the April 15 date set late last year.

No reason is given for the delay, but Bolze and his attorney are still appealing a judge’s decision to deny a request that Bolze be allowed to leave the Blount County corrections facility he’s been in for a year now. They argue he needs to be able to access the Internet so he can compile documents needed for his defense and to start collecting the money he’ll need to make the repayment he’ll have to make as part of his admission

“I have been self-employed for over 35 years.

I have owned a welding and machine shop, dump trucks, bulldozers, hi-lifts and that kind of equipment needed in my construction business. Having many employees, I have experience with handling and working with people.

This also gives me plenty of experience dealing with the public, not to mention being a county commissioner for 12 years and a member of the Planning Commission for 10 years. “With taxpayers’ money, schools have been built, rooms have been added and teacher-pupil ratio has been reduced. With taxpayers’ money, many improvements have been made in the 1st District and Sevier County to our infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water lines, etc. This proves I have a good working rela-

tionship with the different county departments. “My body bears many scars both mentally and physically from the Vietnam war. I know what it means to fight for my family, my friends, my community, my county, my state, my country and our Constitution.

There are those among us that don’t know the true definition of the word fight.

The actions that you the people have seen from me this term as your commissioner have not been in my best interest nor has it had any benefit or gain for me. It has been my hope that it would benefit you the people and my grandkids and your grandkids for many years down the road,� Watson said. “I will continue to fight for open, honest and transparent government for the people of the 1st District and Sevier County.�

Submitted Report Sheriff Ronald L. (Hoss) Seals has announced his candidacy for re-election as sheriff of Sevier County. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Sevier County for the confidence they have shown me by electing me as sheriff,� he said. “Being a lifelong resident of Sevier County, I understand our values and as a 35-year veteran with

the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, I know and understand our needs. “I would like to Seals ask you to place your trust in me by re-electing me as your sheriff. I feel that based on my many years of service with the sheriff’s office, my administrative ability and my com-

monsense approach to problems will assist me in making the many decisions that I have, and will be, confronted with in the future. “This election is important to your family and mine,� he said. “It is important that we build on the accomplishments that have taken place in the past and I pledge to you that I will work to make Sevier County a safer place to work and live.�

Construction is under way on a five-screen movie theater complex at Waldens Landing on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Ned Vickers, the developer with Holrob Investments who oversees the local development, hopes the theater will open in late August. It is being built to the left of Smoky Mountain Brewery in a section of retail space that has been vacant. The new theater will have stadium seating and digital projection, with the capability of showing 3-D movies, Vickers said.

Brenner running again for McGaha seeks re-election District 10 commission seat to County Commission seat Submitted report Steve Brenner has announced his candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, District 10, seat B. Brenner, 55, has been married to Sharon Reagan Brenner for 33 years. Their daughter Robin, her husband Travis Loveday and their three grandchildren Jake, Matt and Reagan live next door.

Brenner is a 1976 graduate of the University of Tennessee. He has been working as a sales representative for Appalachia Bus. Comm. in Knoxville for 32 years.

He ran for the same office four years ago and lost by 35 votes.

“I feel like the people in the 10th District are ready for someone new to represent them,” he said. “I have been asked, ‘Why do you

want to be a politician?’

My answer is, I don’t. I want to be a representative. I have a desire to serve and Brenner represent the hardworking families and home owners of the Boyds Creek, Dupont and White’s communities.

“Our County Commission is primarily made up of people who work for Sevier County or are married to people who work for the county or are developers,” Brenner said. “Many think the average Sevier County homeowner feels left out and I am running because I am one of them. I will bring to commission a desire to keep property taxes were they are. I am inclined to not vote for a property tax hike on the homeowners

until the property tax status of the owners and developers of rental properties is changed from a residential tax status to a commercial one.

“I am very interested in historic preservation and protecting our community’s rich history. As far as zoning is concerned, I ran last time as a strong supporter. But as is often the case, until a big yellow sign appears on the property of your neighbor announcing a request for rezoning, most people are not concerned. The 10th District needs someone who is sensitive to the impact rezoning may have on a homeowner’s investment.

“I will bring a different set of concerns and perspective to the County Commission, one that is in very short supply and is greatly needed.

This is a little of what I believe and why I am running,” he said.

Local event to give head start on National Day of Prayer Submitted Report SEVIERVILLE — Garlands of Grace is coordinating a National Day of Prayer observance for Sevier County, which will be from 9 to 10 a.m. May 6 at the courthouse.

Music will be presented, and the prayer for the nation, written by Franklin Graham, will be read, Pastor Scott Carter of First Baptist Sevierville will be the keynote speaker on the topic, “For Such a Time As This.”

The Third District voting precincts are New Center School and the Vocational Center at Sevier County High School.

him, which hold he ran a Ponzi scheme, defrauding investors in an international ring. He has since pleaded guilty to three felony charges of money laundering and an equal number of wire fraud counts.

On May 19, District Judge Thomas Varlan will decide how much time and how big a fine Bolze will be ordered to pay. Each wire fraud charge could carry a term of 20 years in federal prison with a $250,000 fine, while each count of money laundering may net Bolze 10 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine. Bolze faces a possible total of 90 years of imprisonment.

of guilt.

The federal government, meanwhile, argues Bolze poses a flight risk if he’s allowed out from behind bars and has successfully fought to have the request denied.

Bolze fled his investors and authorities in December 2008 as his investment scheme crumbled. He remained on the lam until March 12, when he was picked up by local and federal authorities in Jersey Shores, Pa. At the time Bolze contended he was innocent of the allegations against

five friendliest and cleanest parks in the nation.

Still, Parton said she still has plenty of big dreams for the next 25 years, a fitting announcement for an anniversary year that carries the theme, “Celebrate the dreamer in you.� “Twenty-five years is really a long time to be still growing,� she said. “We’re really proud of where we’ve come. We’ve got a lot of dreams still to come in the next 25 years.�

Among those dreams are some short-term and some further into the future, including Parton’s hope the folks from Hallmark’s entertainment division will come down to the park later this year to film a television special as part of the 25th anniversary season. “Kenny’s (Rogers) going to be a part of that,� Parton said.

Looking down the road, Parton was mostly cryptic, telling the crowd they’d have to wait to find out everything she has planned.

However, she did tip her hand on plans to make the park a major destination.

While she said park officials are “proud� of the recently-added Dollywood Vacations program, through which visitors can book special packages that include lodging and tickets to the attraction, Parton apparently has bigger dreams for overnight guests. “I do still want to do a resort and spa,� she said. “That’s something I’d like to add in the future.�

Surprises 3From Page A1

“We want to recognize our season passholders and thank them for coming out to visit. We really want to let them know we appreciate them being loyal guests of our park.�

The effort isn’t entirely altruistic, as Joines suspects the employees who do the distribution will get a lot of out it, too. “We just want to meet theses people and hear their stories,� she said. “We’ve had a fun time planning this and we know we’re really going to enjoy it.�

As of late Friday morning, that already seemed to be holding true, Smelcer reported. “The reaction has been

Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press

Members of the Le Grand Cirque open up the ImaginÊ performance during the sneak peek of Dollywood’s 25th anniversary season.

She gave no more details about that aspiration, though.

As for her investment in her Smoky Mountain home, Parton said she’s pleased of the part the park has played in helping to make Sevier County a destination for millions of visitors each year. “I’m proud I got to be a part of that,� she said. “We have a lot of talented people and they come up with a lot of great ideas.

You never know what will come next.�

Parton, known for her quick wit and quick retorts, joked with one questioner who asked if she’d be getting on Adventure Mountain, the park’s new $5 million challenge course attraction. “What do you think?� she asked with her characteristic giggle, pointing out she struggled when she took a turn on the course Thursday. “It was hard for me because of all my fingernails and all.�

Parton did make an appearance later in the day, despite light rain

and below-average temperatures, at Adventure Mountain. Joking earlier that she was already wearing a corset, she vowed not to get into one of the harnesses for the attraction. Still, she did show off her own harness specially made for her that included a whistle, bug spray, bear repellent and a can of hair spray. “I’ve also got a canteen full of white lightning one of the shiners up in the holler gave me,� she laughed.

In addition to the Adventure Mountain expansion, the 25th anniversary season brings a number of other new attractions to explore in Dollywood, several of them focused on the park’s history.

Long-time visitors will have the opportunity to remember some of the park’s early days just after it made the switch from Silver Dollar City all the way through modern times in the Hall of Memories.

An auxiliary building in the Craftsman’s Valley area has been filled with memo-

heart-warming. They all want to tell you their stories and they have some great memories,� she said. “There is a lot of excitement on the park. We’re having a good time.�

It won’t just be season passholders who get in on the fun, though. As visitors enter the park, hosts will be picking out a “guest of the day� among the regular ticket holders. That may be a family, a couple or an individual. “They will get some special recognition during that day,� Joines explained. “They will be given a button to wear through the day to recognize them as the guest of the day. They’ll also get some special opportunities like some prizes, there may be some season passes, there may be some behindthe-scenes opportunities.

You never know what they might get.�

During the park’s last big anniversary — its 20th in 2005 — Parton gave 20-year platinum passes to each of the 1,500 or so folks in attendance during the sneak peek event.

It was clear some of those in the audience this year expected a similar gift. “I’ve been trying to figure out what to give you,�

Parton said, eliciting cheers from some in the audience.

She went on to joke that she considered bringing television host Oprah Winfrey, known for her regular and often considerable gifts to her audience, to coordinate a surprise and even thought about giving everyone a new Toyota, though that idea “kind of ran away

rabilia from old ride cars to a collection of trading pins. One display traces the park’s history through 25 years of collectible cups while another includes a photo mosaic of 8,700 pictures of Parton that form her iconic signature.

The park’s Adventures in Imagination area is playing host to a number of the 25th anniversary additions. In Chasing Rainbows, the museum that traces Parton’s career in show business, the costumes the international star has worn over 25 years of visits to Dollywood are featured.

Meanwhile, performers will fill the area between the museum and the Dolly’s Closet shop at 3:30 p.m. each afternoon for the Silver Celebration Street Party. Featuring entertainers known as the Silvertones, the festivities will include music and other activities.

Park officials are awarding special vacation packages that include lodging and park tickets every week for the next 25 weeks. Visitors will also likely notice other changes, like new colors for the Dollywood Express’ steam engines and a bright purple coat on Dolly’s Closet. There have been major changes made to the Showstreet and Friendship Gardens areas, as well as in the Emporium, which visitors pass through as they exit the park.

A new section on the Dollywood Web site (www. dollywood.com) has been added to detail all the 25th anniversary celebrations. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

from (her).�

In the end, though, Parton simply watched some acrobatic performances by performers in the Festival of Nations shows before leaving the crowd empty-handed.

Despite that, this year brings promise for even more folks to enjoy a special gift than did in 2005. With a total of 226 operating days at Dollywood, there’s the potential for more than 5,600 people to be the recipients of the surprises.

The best part of it all, Joines said, is winners don’t have to do anything special to be chosen. “All you have to do is visit the park,� she said. “So come out as often as you can this year. You never know — you might be the next winner.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Saturday, March 27, 2010 â&#x2014;&#x2020; The Mountain Press

Dismissal of suit under consideration MARYVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Blount County Circuit Court Judge David R. Duggan is considering a motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Sevier County alleging violations of the Tennessee Sunshine Law after a hearing Friday.

The lawsuit was filed on Aug. 29, 2008 in Sevier County Chancery Court and was transferred to Blount County in September 2008.

During Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing, attorneys for each side presented arguments for and against dismissing the case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was filed by Sevier County residents and the group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public Spirited Citizens of Sevier County Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;? against County Mayor Larry Waters, county commissioners and the County Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steering Committee.

The suit, according to an amended complaint filed Feb. 1, alleges that the County Commission held meetings about proposed changes to commission rules without proper advance public notice and did not keep and

ambulance service were the first to realize something was amiss when they came in during a shift change and discovered the compute was gone, he said.

A volunteer firefighter came by the station during that time and found that additional equipment was missing, and they notified the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department.

By Thursday afternoon, detectives tracked down Hayes at a home in Jefferson county and located the missing items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a fantastic job,â&#x20AC;? Willis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was over $10,000 just in medical equipment alone.â&#x20AC;?

The equipment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include drugs, but did include other items they would need in responding to a call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all valuable equipment that can save a life, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry narcotics,â&#x20AC;? Willis explained.

They regained the equipment before getting any emergency calls, he said. If necessary, they had duplicates at another substation, meaning they could still have responded to any calls, but it might have taken longer, he noted.

file minutes of meetings properly as required by law. In one instance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special called meetingâ&#x20AC;? of the Sevier County Steering Committee allegedly held on June 23, 2008, hours before a meeting of the entire Sevier County Commission â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the suit claims there was no notice at all and no minutes recorded, in violation of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Law. Attorney for the defendants, Rhonda L. Bradshaw, said in the hearing Friday that no such meeting ever took place.

Herbert S. Moncier, attorney for the plaintiffs, said in his argument against dismissing the suit that a jury needed to hear the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is nobody, nobody is looking at the terms of this law in Sevier County,â&#x20AC;? he said of the Sunshine Law. Moncier called meeting minutes a vital part of the governmental process, especially for citizens who are not able to attend meetings.

Bradshaw, though, was emphatic about the lack of proof in the case and said repeatedly that there was nothing in the record that showed

Hayes is a former volunteer firefighter with Northview, and used a year-old entry code to gain access to the facility.

Willis said she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; been dismissed for any problems, but was no longer an active member of the department.

The entry code is provided to firefighters but is changed occasionally.

The code was changed Thursday after learning how the alleged thief entered the building, he said.

The department has considered additional security measures in the past, but has concluded that the risk of causing volunteer firefighters to take more time in responding to a call outweighed the benefit of added security, he said.

Detectives are still investigating the case, and anyone with information on the burglary is asked to call James Breeden or Jeff Manis at 428-1899.

concretely that the Sevier County Commission violated the Sunshine Law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Circumstantial evidence may work in a criminal trial,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does not work here.â&#x20AC;?

Moncier countered that the entirety of the evidence was enough to take the case to trial so a jury could answer the questions.

The plaintiffs, Moncier said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;really want to bring about change in the way Sevier County conducts the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business.â&#x20AC;?

The lawsuit seeks to void actions taken in meetings of the Sevier County Commission and Steering Committee allegedly held without proper advance notice, or those where meeting minutes were improperly recorded or filed. The suit also seeks to enjoin Sevier County governmental bodies from violating the Sunshine Law in the future and require them to certify their compliance of the law.

Duggan said he would take the motion to dismiss the lawsuit under advisement and return a ruling at a later date.

Lawyer argues to drop statement

KNOXVILLE (AP) — Defense attorneys argued for a judge to throw out some of the statements by a teenage woman charged in a brutal carjacking, rape and slaying of a Knoxville couple because she was treated like a cooperating witness by investigators.

Vanessa Coleman of Lebanon, Ky., was charged along with her boyfriend, his half brother and a friend in the slayings of 21-year-old University of Tennessee student Channon Christian and her 23-year-old boyfriend Christopher Newsom in 2007 During a hearing Friday, defense attorney Russell Greene asked Judge Richard Baumgartner to throw out an interview with federal agents because she thought she was a government witness so had waived her rights to legal counsel.

Punitive damage claims dropped

By BILL POOVEY Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — A federal judge Friday threw out lawsuits seeking to financially punish the Tennessee Valley Authority for its 2008 spill of toxin-laden coal ash but he will let suits seeking compensatory damages proceed.

The amount of compensatory, or economic, damages will be decided in court but punitive damages are often awarded for a far greater amount.

TVA spokesman Scott Brooks said in an e-mail late Friday the utility was declining comment,

partly because the ruling by U.S. District Judge Thomas Varlan is 80 pages long and “we are taking time to study it and review the documents.”

Elizabeth Alexander of Nashville, an attorney for some of the hundreds of people suing, said in an e-mail statement that allowing the compensatory damage claims is a “tremendous victory in an effort to hold TVA accountable for the severe damage it has caused to residents and the environment.”

Court records show the damage claims total $165 million. The compensatory damages are subject to dispute in court.

The nation’s largest public utility contends it was acting as a government agency and does not have to pay damages beyond the compensation it has already negotiated with affected property owners and local governments.

The spill involved 5.4 million cubic yards of ash that breached an earthen dike at TVA’s Kingston Plant on Dec. 22, 2008. The EPA has said the Kingston ash contains arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium and zinc, all hazardous substances as defined by the Superfund law.

A projected $1.2 billion cleanup is ongoing.

Divide in country worst ever “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”

— Kris Kristofferson The raging debate over Obamacare is not exactly all about health. It’s really about freedom, or lack thereof.

It’s simple when you cut through all the overheated rhetoric: The anti-Obama folks believe the president is imposing a massive federal presence that will erode personal freedoms. The pro-Obama crew supports a huge federal apparatus to impose “social justice,” believing that is the government’s moral responsibility.

The personal freedom issue is pretty clear, as well. We have less of it today than we did this time last year.

In an aggressive power grab, the feds now control the health care industry, and the IRS has increased its already enormous power, as it will enforce Obamacare mandates.

In addition, your private medical records will no longer be private. They will be accessible by federal bureaucrats. If that doesn’t make you queasy, nothing will.

And then there’s higher education. The president wants the feds, not private lending institutions, to distribute college loans, and it looks like that will happen.

And then there’s the banking industry. The Obama administration seeks tough oversight rules and wants to call major shots in the financial world.

Federal regulation could strangle some banks and force most of them to do exactly what the government wants.

And then there’s the energy industry. The president wants to mandate how private business consumes energy and to dish out financial punishment if federal rules are not followed.

That’s the cap-and-trade deal.

In addition to the direct intrusion on business and private behavior (through health insurance), the redistributionof-wealth train is roaring toward its next destination.

That would be a national sales tax like they have in Europe.

The president well understands the huge debt that is piling up because of all the federal spending. He has to raise more money. Wealthy Americans are going to get hammered by income tax and capital gains hikes, but there are simply not enough rich folks to counter the red ink.

So get ready for a proposed new tax on stuff you buy.

Even though everyone will pay the sales tax, there will be a variety of rebates for poor Americans so they will not suffer from the sales tax.

The middle class will most likely bear the brunt of it. But it may not happen — Democrats in Congress might well be voted out of power next November.

That’s one of the high stakes in the midterm election.

Not since the early days of the Vietnam War has there been such a stark divide between liberal and conservative Americans, between Republicans and Democrats.

The battle lines are clearly drawn: individual freedom versus federal power. Take your pick.

Organizer Fran Troxler, unfortunately, probably couldn’t have been any closer to the truth last weekend at the Keep Sevier Beautiful Roads and Rivers clean-up project in Wears Valley. “We do this with the knowledge that in a few days it will probably be just as bad.

It’s very frustrating, but if you don’t do it, it’s only going to get worse and worse.”

Thankfully, though, there are people like Troxler and the dozens who turned out around the county to pitch in. KSB does this twice a year and, if it weren’t for them, who knows how bad the problem would be. That’s true for folks from Seymour to Gatlinburg who chip in to keep our roadways and waterways clean.

In a county whose lifeblood is tourism, image is everything. Trash along our roads and in our beautiful rivers, streams and ponds is unsightly. No, the problem will never be completely under control, but thanks to Fran Troxler and others like her, at least it’s manageable.

Smoky Mountain Thunder gets Sevierville police come through major boost with fundraiser with safety measures for kids

It wasn’t so much the event before the event, but it was the way the people who handled the event before the event that was most impressive. Last weekend at the fairgrounds, a fundraiser was held to raise money to put on the 10th annual Smoky Mountain Thunder the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend.

Smoky Mountain Thunder is a motorcycle rally that pays tribute to America’s military and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Having fun was the order of the day at the fundraiser, with two- and threewheel rides, a loud pipe contest, live music, food and a variety of demonstrations and vendors.

But organizers never lost sight of the reason for the event. “When you do a tribute to fallen military members, it should be done with the utmost dignity and respect,” Ron Giddis said. “We’re not going to do something halfway.”

Smoky Mountain Thunder is proudly celebrating its 10th year. Like the fundraiser, it will be first class.

As always, there are lots of things going on around the county today — events geared toward tourists and events more suited for locals. If you’re a local with a young child or grandchild, the Sevierville Police Department’s child safety services event at City Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There are three main areas that will be covered, beginning first and foremost with fingerprinting for children of all ages. SPD will also provide parents with a kit that will include the fingerprints, DNA, photographs, dental records and other information. This information would be critical should the child become lost or abducted.

Second is the free gun-lock program, with cable-style locks provided, designed to promote safe firearms handling and storage. Third is Stranger Danger, which seeks to educate children and parents about strangers and what to do if an attempted abduction. More than 750,000 children are reported missing in the U.S. each year.

Other events may be fun — this one could be life or death.

Vols in Elite company

UT makes history with win over OSU

By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

ST. LOUIS — One Evan Turner is pretty good. Five Tennessee Volunteers are even better.

Brian Williams scored the go-ahead basket on a tip-in with 32 seconds left, Bobby Maze converted a pair of late free throws and J.P. Prince blocked a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer Friday night, leading Tennessee past Ohio State 76-73 and into the NCAA tournament’s round of eight for the first time.

Wayne Chism finished with 22 points — all but four in the second half — and 11 rebounds for the sixthseeded Volunteers (28-8), who pulled out a back-andforth tussle in the Midwest Regional semifinals.

As the final buzzer sounded, Tennessee players let out screams of joy and sprinted onto the court. Turner, who was pretty much all of Ohio State’s offense in the second half, walked off the court with his head down. He finished with 31 points, 21 in the second half.

William Buford had 15 and

David Lighty added nine.

But Jon Diebler, so big for the second-seeded Buckeyes (29-8) in the first two rounds, had just three points and was 1 of 7 from 3-point range.

Chism gave Tennessee a 72-70 lead with 1:39 to play, but Turner came up with yet another big play, swishing a 3 from just beyond the arc to put Ohio State in front with less than 42 seconds to go.

But Williams, a big, bruising center who missed nine games earlier this season after a Jan. 1 arrest, tipped in a miss.

Turner missed at the other end and Kyle Madsen lost the ball under the basket.

With less than 13 seconds left, Turner fouled Maze, who after a timeout, coolly blew a kiss to someone in the Tennessee fan section.

He made both free throws, giving the Vols a 76-73 lead.

Turner had two more opportunities, and he’s knocked down last-second shots before. This time, he missed from deep in the corner, but got the ball back.

With Prince all over him, Jeff Roberson/AP Turner’s last shot from near Tennessee’s Scotty Hopson, left, and Steven Pearl embrace after their 76-73 win over Ohio State the top of the key didn’t even of an NCAA Midwest Regional college basketball game Friday, March 26, in St. Louis.

Smoky Bears win over Cocke County

It’s big vs. big for UT, Baylor

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer MEMPHIS (AP) — Baylor coach Kim Mulkey has noticed a change in Brittney Griner’s play since her suspension for punching a Texas Tech player in the face.

The 6-foot-8 freshman has been more timid and careful on the floor, where she’s used to being surrounded and targeted by players far smaller than she.

Maybe the cure is a dose of Tennessee’s 6-foot-6 center, Kelley Cain.

“This game I will definitely get back to the way I was playing before the incident happened and be able to go against someone in the post and not have someone on my hip where I go to the post hard and the defender falls over,” Griner said with a half grin. “I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

The feeling is mutual.

“Nobody’s in my rib cage — they’re on my level,” Cain said. “Since it happens so rarely, I really enjoy playing somebody who’s my height or taller.”

The fourth-seeded Lady Bears (25-9) and top-seeded Lady Volunteers (32-2) bring two of the most imposing post games in the nation to the semifinals of the Memphis regional of the NCAA women’s tournament.

Tennessee, an eighttime national champion under coach Pat Summitt, is playing in its 28th round of 16 and has won all but four of those games.

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Sevier County sophomore Arnaud Cavalletto scores his first varsity goal for the Smoky Bears in the early going of SCHS’s 8-0 win over the visiting Fighting Cocks of Cocke County.

SEVIERVILLE — Two Sevier County sophomores earned their first varsity goals Thursday night as the Bears cruised to an 8-0 IMAC win over visiting Cocke County.

SC 10th graders Arnaud Cavalletto and Austin Jenkins both beat the Fighting Cocke’s keeper for first half goals and helped the Smoky Bears out to a quick 4-0 lead, that would grow to eight before the game’s end.

SCHS head coach Bryan Atchley was pleased with the performance, especially the Bears’ ability to find the net, something the team’s been struggling with early in the season.

“We did what we needed to do as far as putting the ball in the back of the net,” Atchley

said. “And that’s what we’ve been looking for all year.

“It was a good team effort.

I wanted to see a few things tonight we had worked on, and I did. We moved the ball well, and we didn’t hold the ball too long.”

Adding to the Sevier County scoring attack were sophomore Erick Flores and freshman Nelson Hernandez.

The two whiz kids had two goals apiece for the Bears.

Jeiryn Villalobos and Corey Brewer also added goals.

Hernandez is likely making the biggest freshman impact for the Bears since Stefan Fox four seasons ago.

Fox had eight goals in his freshman campaign and ended up with 70 for his career.

Hernandez has five sscores in his first five games for SCHS.

Pigeon Forge soccer stays unbeaten with 6-2 win

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers soccer team remained perfect on the season with a 6-2 win Friday night over the visiting Dixie High Green Hornets out of Due West, S.C. The Tigers (5-0) fell behind early 1-0 but regrouped quickly to control the action the rest of the contest.

Pigeon Forge’s Oscar Martinez scored a pair of bookend goals in the first half and added a third score in the second half.

The Tigers’ Brandon Duncan scored a pair of goals in the game, one in each half, and Justin Kilgore added a secondhalf goal for the Orange and Black.

Coach Bill Moseley “We played alright, and I got everybody on my bench into the game, so that was a good thing, good experience for the players,” said Pigeon Forge coach Bill Moseley, following the win. “It was a physical game, but

we passed the ball well, played well and we even finished well tonight.”

The Tigers entered Friday’s contest a little leg weary from a tough 3-2 victory at Jefferson County on Thursday night. Pigeon Forge has also been shorthanded as of late, with three starters missing time due to injury the past couple of weeks.

“We were still pretty tired (Friday) from a pretty heated contest (against Jefferson County),” said Moseley.

“And some of my main starters have been out for two weeks.

“Fortunately, we’ve had some younger players step in and actually play really well.”

Freshman Bryan Velaquez, Joshua Snyders

and Mitch Keobounpheng have been those guys to step up and fill those starting holes so well as of late.

“They’ve really been big contributors,” said Moseley.

Pigeon Forge next plays county rival GatlinburgPittman 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday before an inschool match-up 10 a.m.

Friday against county rival Sevier County High School.

The Orange-and-Black squad hopes to be healthy and back to full strength by then.

“We should have everybody back next week,” said Moseley. “We need to have them back, that’s for sure. It’s going to be a tough week for us. “(G-P coach) Dean (Hogan) has been build-

ing a program up there at G-P, and he’s done a really good job at it.

Their program is just getting better and better.

“And Sevier County is a big school, and I’m just happy to have a program that can compete with it.”

Thursday at Jeff County:

JEFFERSON CITY — Pigeon Forge’s Jared Cantrell scored two goals, and Kilgore added one in a game that the Tigers controlled all night.

Pigeon Forge had things well in hand with a 3-1 lead in the closing seconds, but a penalty kick for a Jeff County score made it the final seconds before the game was final.

RUTLEDGE — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders baseball team split a double-header at Washburn on Thursday night, winning the first game 7-4 before dropping the nightcap in a 2-0 shutout.

G-P junior Dusty Bilbrey picked up the win in the opening five-inning contest, throwing four four-hit innings, allowing four runs but just two of them earned, tallying eight strike outs and walking one.

G-P senior Daniel Roberts closed the contest in the fifth, allowing no runs on one hit, striking out two and walking one.

Bilbrey helped his own cause with a two-run homer, and sophomore Ryan Myers went 2-for-2 with a tworun blast to his credit.

Senior catcher Drew Barton went 3-for-4 on the night with two runs scored and two stolen bases.

Roberts stayed on the mound for the start of game two and was credited with the loss despite a strong effort.

He pitched four innings and allowed just two hits with 10 strike outs and no walks. The two runs scored on him were unearned.

Roberts did what he could to help himself offensively, going 2-for-2 in the game with two singles.

But those were the lone G-P hits of the game.

“Daniel Roberts had quite a day,” said G-P coach Henry LaFollette.

Advice

‘Frustrated’ letter gets lots of response from readers

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: “Frustrated in N.J.” wrote to say that his 65-yearold wife no longer wants to have sex with him because of vaginal dryness. In your response, in which you recommended counseling (which may indeed be needed), you missed an opportunity to educate your readers about what can be done about this problem.

I’m 67 years old and still enjoy sex with my husband. When I talked to my doctor about the discomfort of vaginal dryness a few years ago, she recommended a vaginal ring that emits a very low amount of estrogen. It isn’t cheap, but otherwise it’s a godsend. — Still Frisky in My Late 60s Dear Still Frisky: We are grateful to all the readers (male and female) who wrote in response to that letter and offered suggestions and hope: From California: I am a 60-year-old woman who had a hysterectomy when I was 50. I wanted to stay away from artificial hormones, but I was suffering. I eventually went to a compounding pharmacy for a natural hormone mixture prescribed by a doctor. I felt much better — but still had no interest in sex.

There is a sort of mourning period when the ability to have children, or when your definition of who you are, is turned upside down. My decision to separate from my husband started with a pedicure, then doing something with my gray hair, then the gym. I began to feel alive again in the libido area, and now, with another man, intimacy is better than ever.

Louisiana: I am a retired nurse. Couples

can find the act of touching, imagining and cuddling as satisfactory as the physical act. It is vital in our aging process to explore new and different methods to achieve the desired results.

Chicago: One can have a simple blood test to check for hypogonadism (low levels of certain hormones that contribute to the sex drive), and in some cases, it can be treated with a specially prepared testosterone cream applied externally.

It amazes me that while Viagra and Cialis have become household words, women are advised to take a bubble bath. My family doctor referred me to an endocrinologist at my earliest complaint, so my multiple orgasms have continued well into the fourth decade of my marriage.

Louisville, Ky.: I am 65 and struggled with the same situation until five years ago. Finally, a female gynecologist prescribed a combination of estrogen and testosterone. That, along with a lubricant, did the trick.

Sex will never be what it was years ago, but it sure brought sufficient desire to satisfy my hubby and me.

Boston: I am 56 and have found that life without hormones is quite a shock. But I discovered bioidentical hormones and, with them, the amazing return of life as I once knew it.

Our balanced hormones

t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

Garfield

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith

For Better Or Worse

Tina’s Groove

can begin to decline in our 30s, and bioidentical hormones help us remain much healthier.

It is important to find a qualified physician who understands bioidentical hormones, measures and monitors your hormone levels on a regular basis, and gives you those hormones in a way that closely mimics how our bodies naturally deliver hormones.

Aurora, Ohio: If she and her husband had a good sex life before menopause, it is very possible that the problem is related to a dry vagina, which probably causes pain. I am 71 and had the good fortune to go to a midwife about 18 years ago who prescribed a vaginal suppository that one uses just prior to intercourse. I have never had a single physician, male or female, offer help with sex at my age.

A midwife can discuss sex in a way that is comfortable to this woman.

I realize she may never have enjoyed sex, and some counseling could be needed, but without taking care of the vaginal dryness, there will always be a problem.
