The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday that Tennessee and Delaware have won grants in the first phase of the Race to the Top competition, the Obama administration’s $4.3 billion education funding program. Tennessee will receive $500 million and Delaware will receive $100 million to implement their comprehensive school reform plans over the next four years. “We’re very pleased Tennessee received the money,” said Debra Cline, Sevier County Schools director of curriculum and instruction. “In this time of economic crisis, this will be a boost for education programs. “We don’t have definite information on how grant development will turn out, but we will be looking at the guidelines and criteria, and we will be diligent in the necessary work to apply for the grants.” Budgets will be finalized after discussions between the Department of Education and the grantees, and the money will be distributed over time as the grantees meet established benchmarks. Tennessee submitted its $501.8 million proposal for Race to the Top in January. “Both Tennessee and Delaware have statewide buy-in for comprehensive plans to reform their schools,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a released statement. “They have written new laws to support their policies. And they have demonstrated the courage, capacity and commitment to turn their ideas into practices that can improve outcomes for students.” The Race to the Top fund includes $4 billion for See RACE TO TOP, Page A4

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The prognosis doctor-turned-Congressman Phil Roe gave to a local crowd Monday was as bleak as the gray clouds that hung over the area throughout the day, though he did offer one ray of hope — November. Roe, R-Johnson City, told a friendly crowd at a joint Gatlinburg and Sevierville Chamber gathering that he believes voters will move the country in the right direction — more to his party’s favor, that is — come November’s general election. Roe’s comments were part of a legislative luncheon series called “Two
chambers, one voice.” The events offer members of both business groups the opportunity to express their opinions to the area’s elected representatives. But the name could also reference the two chambers of Congress. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., started off the event a couple months ago. For Republicans battling a Democratic administration and Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress, things have indeed seemed desperate lately. Roe, whose district includes most of Sevier County, bemoaned the Democrats’ Derek Hodges/The Mountain Press health care bill, which passed without U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, left, talks to the Rev. Phillip the support of a single Republican. Morris of Parkway Church of God and Vicki Simms of the Gatlinburg Chamber prior to an See ROE, Page A4 event in Sevierville Monday.
SPD, sheriff’s office checks put child safety at a premium By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer For around 10 years, the Sevierville Police Submitted Department has provided free car seat safety checks at various locations around the city. Above photo shows a correctly installed car The Sevier County Sheriff’s Office also has seat, which is at a 45 degree angle with the certified safety seat technicians who provide correct harness position and correct harness clip position. Bottom photo shows the baby is the service throughout the county. Sevierville Police will be at the David in an incorrectly installed car seat, which has an incorrect harness and handle position. The Owenby Agency at 501 Parkway in Sevierville handle will prevent the car seat from working on Wednesday performing the checks. “Most are new parents who are overproperly, and the harness is loose and could whelmed with all of the straps and gizmos cause the child to be injured. on the car seats,” Sgt. Rebecca Cowan said. “We don’t want to just put the car seat in for them — we want to make sure they know how to install it, too.” There are many different variables involved for the safety seat checks, she continued. “Nine out of 10 car seats are installed incorrectly. At a recent event, we checked 28 car seats, and all were installed incorrectly. We had to replace 15 of them.” The certified safety seat technicians check for recalls, expiration dates and cracks. “A lot of people don’t know that car seats expire in six years,” Cowan said. “Because of extreme heat or cold, the harness could break after that period of time.”
Car seat safety check Sevierville Police will be at the David Owenby Agency at 501 Parkway in Sevierville on Wednesday. More information, call the SPD at 453-1986.
Cowan said that if the car seat can be moved more than an inch to the left or the right, it’s too loose. If a child can move around in the harness, it’s not snug and secure enough. Children must use a harness car seat until they’re four years old. They can graduate to a booster seat once they reach 4 feet and 9 inches or turn 9 years old — whichever comes first. Parents should never place an infant in front of an airbag, and they should also make sure there are no dangerous loose objects in the vehicle. Sevierville Police received grant money to provide a new car seat to families who can not afford one. A typical infant seat runs around $50-$55, Cowan said. “If people can’t make it to one of our events, they can always call ahead to the police department to make sure someone is there to do the check. ... We want to prevent child fatality.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Randy Williams announces bid Andy Moore seeking a spot for seat on County Commission on Sevier County Commission Submitted report Randy Williams of New Center has announced his candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, District 3, Seat A. Williams attended Pigeon Forge Elementary, graduated Gatlinburg-Pittman High School in 1987 and graduated Walters State. He is the store manager at Food City in Sevierville, where he has been employed the last 22 years. He and his wife Wanda have lived in District 3 the last 21 years and have two children, Caria and Joshua. They are members of First Baptist Church of Sevierville. He serves on the Sevier County Food Ministries Steering Committee, and he is president of Sevier County Junior League Basketball and
member of Leadership Sevier Class of 2010. “It is the responsibility of all elected officials Williams to commit themselves to the best possible representation of their constituency. The Sevier County Commission has a responsibility not only to stand for the traditional values of our community, but to promote economic growth,” he said. “My experience within the business community will bring to my term as county commissioner a meeting of these two aspects: economic ingenuity and practicality. A true representative must have an eye for the future while being mindful of the values that have made Sevier
County a great place to live, work and raise children. “We have been blessed to live in such an amazing county. The opportunities for our citizens are so great and so many that thousands have come to make Sevier County their home as well. It is crucial that our county government work to not only maintain and grow our tourism, but also work to grow industry and manufacturing jobs to support an ever growing community. Sevier County needs to develop a reputation of being welcoming to manufacturers not one of being difficult to work with.” “Commissioners need to look to further advance Sevier County’s achievements in the future while protecting the traditions of the past.”

Judy Godfrey seeks re-election to seat on County Commission Submitted report Judy Godfrey has announced her candidacy for re-election to the Sevier County Commission, District 9, Seat B, in the May 4 Republican Primary. She has served on the County Commission for the past six years representing Seymour. “Always being actively involved in our community has allowed me to be part of the many changes facing our county. In Seymour the continuing growth and how it affects our schools, roads, and businesses is a main priority to be addressed by commission,” she said. “As commissioner I serve on the Steering,
Intergovernmental, Records and Transportation committees. Serving on the Sevier County Public Library Board I have seen Seymour have their own branch library with total patrons nearly matching the Main Library. Also I am proud to soon see the completion of the new main Sevier County Public Library building. “As a member of the Sevier County Fair Board I have been actively involved with its continuing growth. I work with the school system and have been involved in the accreditation of all four Seymour schools,” Godfrey said. She and her late husband, Ray, raised their children in Seymour: Ray
III (Chuck), Bill and Lori. There are seven g r a n d children. Godfrey has been a library Godfrey assistant at Seymour Middle School for the past 20 years, and is a member of Providence Missionary Baptist Church. “I have had the opportunity to understand how our community and county have grown and what the needs will be in the future. I promise to be a voice of the people addressing their concerns and presenting them to the Sevier County Commission,” she said.
Chris Clepper announces bid for seat on County Commission Submitted report Seymour resident Chris Clepper has announced his candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, 6th District, Seat B, in the May 4 Republican Primary election. Clepper has been a resident of the 6th District for 40 years. He and wife of 16 years, Shirley Clepper, have two sons who attend Seymour schools. Clepper is a corporal in the Tennessee State Guard, and has had extensive training with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. He is a member of the State Guard Ass-ociation, and a board member of the Tenn-essee Volunteer Honor Guard. He is also a Cub Scout den lead-
er and a Boy Scout assistant scoutm a s ter with T r o o p 585 in Seymour. Clepper C h r i s and Shirley Clepper have owned and operated Network Technologies Inc. (NTI) in Seymour for over 27 years. Network Technologies Inc. was pivotal in helping win the $100,000 U.S. Cellular “Calling All Communities” contest for the Seymour schools this year, he said. He said he is committed to bringing more money and resources to the Seymour schools. “I want Seymour schools to be the best funded schools in the
state of Tennessee,” he said. School safety is another important issue to him. “I want Seymour schools to be pro-active, not reactive, to the security of our kids. I have taken a special interest in studying our schools’ security issues, and I want to find additional funds to make our children safer.” He said the road system around Seymour schools need to be updated. “Within one mile of our schools we need wider roads, sidewalks and more signage for a safer school area,” he said. “We must work together as a community and give our schools and teachers all the money and resources they need to educate our children. Our children are our future.”

Chuck Wagon Gang’s fourth annual homecoming concert set for April 10 Submitted report PIGEON FORGE — The Chuck Wagon Gang will hold its fourth annual homecoming concert at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. April 10. This is the one time of the year the group invites former members to participate, and several will be back. The first show is general admission. Tickets for the second show are reserved and general admission. Reserved seats are $25 for adults and $10 for children through age 18. General admission tickets are $20 for adults, children free up to age 12, and $5 for ages 13-17. The number for reservations is 888-319-1021. The Chuck Wagon Gang is in its 74th year — the oldest recording mixed-gospel group still performing with ties to the original founders. The singing group came from humble beginnings in 1935, as the Carters found themselves in Lubbock, Texas. Dave Carter and two of his children, Lola and Ernest of his Carter Quartet, arrived at radio station KFYO in Lubbock seeking live singing employment in order to buy medicine. They landed the job, and the Carter Quartet remained at the station for about a year. Carter decided to move his family to Fort Worth, landing a job at WBAP. Already on the station was a western band known as the Chuck Wagon Gang. The Carter Quartet was hired and became the Chuck Wagon Gang. In short time, the group’s contract and master recordings were purchased by Columbia Records, now Sony Music. The association with Columbia lasted 39 years, during which they recorded 408 known masters. At one time, the Chuck
Wagon Gang was the second highest selling artist on the label, second to Xavier Cugat. Their popularity was enhanced by radio play. In the 1950’s, promoters Rev. and Mrs. J. Bazzel Mull of Knoxville began playing
their music weekly on stations in Nashville, Chicago, New Orleans and other large cities. As family members retired or left the group, other family members as well as non-family members came in. To date, 50 have played their respective roles in the Chuck Wagon Gang. The current Chuck Wagon Gang features Dave Emery of Pigeon Forge, who sings bass and serves as manager and emcee. Shaye Smith is the alto, the granddaughter of the late Anna Carter Gordon Davis, the original alto for the group. Tenor is Stan Hill of Knoxville. Singing soprano is Julie Hudson from Kingsport.

Local woman charged with ‘doctor shopping’ Submitted report A Seymour woman has been charged in Sevier County with TennCare fraud involving “doctor shopping,” or using TennCare to visit multiple doctors in a short time period to obtain prescriptions for a controlled substance. The Office of Inspector General, with the assistance of the Sevier County Sheriff’s Department, arrest of Misty N. Howard, 27, of Seymour. She is charged with two counts
of fraudulently using TennCare to obtain a controlled substance by “doctor shopping.” Howard failed to disclose to her doctor that she had seen other physicians within a 30-day period and received a prescription for the strong painkiller Hydrocodone, with the physician office visits and prescriptions being paid for by TennCare, officials said. “The ‘doctor shopping’ law is one of our most valuable tools in cracking down on people who are
misusing TennCare to feed their own prescription drug abuse, or resell the drugs to others,” Inspector General Deborah Faulkner said. “The OIG is aggressively pursuing those who commit TennCare fraud, especially involving the resale of prescription drugs in our communities.” TennCare fraud is a Class E felony carrying a sentence of up to two years per charge in prison. District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn will be prosecuting. The OIG, which is sepa-
rate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and has investigated cases leading to more than $2.5 million paid in restitution and recoupment to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of over $171 million for the TennCare program, according to latest figures. To date, over 1,100 people have been charged with TennCare fraud. Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 800-433-3982 tollfree in Tennessee, or visit www.tn.gov/tnoig.
Bredesen celebrates ‘Race to the Top’ triumph NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen said Monday that Tennessee’s success in securing $500 million in the national competition for federal “Race to the Top” education money shows that politics wasn’t a factor in the decision. Bredesen noted that Tennessee is not a swing state politically and that “yours truly” had been a frequent critic of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. “This could be payback time for those things (but) none of that stuff happened in any way,” Bredesen said. Bredesen said he received a call from U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan early Monday. The news that Tennessee and Delaware had been selected winners from 16 final-

Roe said there are 16 House Republicans with a total of more than 400 years in medical professions. Still, none of them were consulted by the administration as it put the bill together that was recently approved. “Health care was one of the reasons I ran,” Roe said. “Not one of the 16 of us was ever consulted about the health care bill. You’d think they would have asked us. You’d think they’d want that expertise.” Roe labeled “corruption” the Democratic deals that included special allotments to certain states used to get votes for the bill in the Senate. Those deals were later repealed. Roe alleged some of the accounting on the bill counts certain revenue streams twice. “You’d go to jail if you did something like that,” he said. “I believe they should go to jail.” Beyond that, Roe said he believes the bill will allow
ists “just about knocked me over,” he said. Bredesen said he was also surprised by the amount of the award. “We put in for half a billion dollars with no expectations whatsoever of getting all that money,” Bredesen said. “We got it all.” The state’s application envisions distributing about half the money to local school districts, spending $109 million on failing schools and $62 million on professional development programs. Bredesen stressed bipartisanship throughout the application processes and cooperation with the state’s main teacher’s union, the Tennessee Education Association. The TEA initially balked at the weight Bredesen wanted to give to
student testing data in teacher evaluations, but later agreed to the new standards. “We very much were a part of the process to get us to this point, and I would hope that this money will help move us forward in education in Tennessee,” said TEA lobbyist Jerry Winters. House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Nashville called the TEA’s approval key to getting the legislation passed. “It was definitely a rush job, but we had to act quickly and I think all parties responded the right way,” Turner said. “There could have been a veto from any group, the TEA could have vetoed this at any time and they chose not to do that.”
education reform across four key areas: Adopting standards and assessments that prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace; building data systems that measure student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals how to improve instruction; recruiting, developing, rewarding and retaining effective teachers
and principals, especially where they are needed most; and turning around their lowest-performing schools. Forty states and the District of Columbia submitted applications for the first phase of the grants. Tennessee and Delaware were selected from among 16 finalists who presented their proposals to panels
of peer reviewers earlier this month. Cline said that Sevier County Schools anticipates getting more information on the program from the state. “We are certainly going to see a lot of change in the months ahead,” she said.
for government funding of abortions, cripple industry and lead to rationing of health care, all arguments he and other Republicans used in opposing the bill. “Pretty soon the private insurance market will collapse,” Roe said. “In 2020, 80 percent of our national budget is going to be paying for Medicare, Medicaid and the deficit. That’s not sustainable. It has to be changed.” Democrats contend the health care law will extend coverage to more than 30 million uninsured and protect those who have insurance from being dropped if they get sick, among other provisions. While Roe said he agrees with certain provisions in the Democrats’ bill, such as allowing parents to keep children up to age 26 on their insurance plans, he argued most of it will sink the country irreversibly into debt. He argues as many as 20 million people could have received coverage simply by pushing them to sign up for existing government plans for which they’re qualified.
Instead, the bill includes $10 billion for new IRS personnel who will make sure every taxpayer has legally required insurance, Roe said. Roe likewise railed against proposed caps on carbon emissions, which he believes would shut down America’s economic engine and skyrocket electric bills, and the stimulus bill passed early last year. “The economy was actually coming out of the recession very slowly without the stimulus,” he said. Amid all the gloom, Roe’s offered a glimmer of hope outside of November elections. “We do live in the greatest country in the world,”
he said. “We’re going to be fine, and the reason is, we’re Americans.” Gatlinburg Chamber Executive Director Vicki Simms and Sevierville Chamber CEO Brenda McCroskey presented Roe with a copy of a cookbook authored by Dolly Parton and a framed print by local artist Robert Tino. McCroskey also offered praised the first-term congressman. “Phil Roe is doing this for all the right reasons,” McCroskey said. “I truly believe Phil Roe got into this because he wanted to serve his state and he wanted to serve his country.”

After week of wins, Obama turns focus to Afghanistan KABUL (AP) — After weeks dominated by health care, President Barack Obama’s secret trip to Afghanistan turned attention back to another issue whose progress this year could help define the success of his presidency. By deciding in December to order a massive buildup to the war he inherited, Obama placed a big bet and escalated an unpopular war that has seen few gains in its eight years. By the end of this summer, U.S. forces are expected to near 100,000, roughly three times as when Obama won the White House. The first major military campaign under Obama’s revamped war strategy was launched last month, in the south. Although Afghanistan has been eclipsed recently by the contentious, cliffhanger health care debate, Obama’s daunting challenge has not gone away. Obama, who returned to the White House on Monday, must show Americans that the big infusion of U.S. troops will be worth the additional loss of life. As Obama traveled to Afghanistan on Sunday for his first visit to the war zone as president, his aides made clear they understand the challenge and the importance of this year. “This is really a strategic moment in the history of our involvement,” national security adviser Jim Jones told reporters aboard Air Force One during the covert overnight flight to Afghanistan. Whether he was talking to Afghan President Hamid Karzai in the presidential palace in Kabul or before 2,500 cheering American troops at Bagram Air Field about 50 miles away, the message during his six hours on the ground was the same: Afghan leaders, particularly Karzai, must step up now and make progress on old demands. Those include reducing corruption, ensuring the delivery of basic services to Afghans, providing true rule of law with an effective judicial system, turning away warlords and unqualified cronies from government positions and creating an effective national police force and army. None of these exist in Afghanistan in any large measure.
Twin suicide Newfound Gap Road rockslide bombs kill 38 people in Moscow MOSCOW (AP) — Terror returned to the heart of Russia, with two deadly suicide bombings on the Moscow subway at rush hour, including an attack at the station beneath the headquarters of the secret police. At least 38 people were killed and more than 60 wounded in Monday morning’s blasts, the first such attacks in Moscow in six years. Russian police have killed several Islamic militant leaders in the North Caucasus recently, including one last week in the Kabardino-Balkariya region, which raised fears of retaliatory strikes and escalating bloodshed by the militants. As smoke billowed through the subway tunnels not far from the Kremlin and dazed survivors streamed out of the vast transportation system, al-Qaida-affiliated Web sites were abuzz with celebration of the attacks by the two female suicide bombers. The bombings showed that the beleaguered rebels are still strong enough to inflict harm on an increasingly assertive Russia, and they followed a warning last month from Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov that “the war is coming to their cities.” Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who built much of his political capital by directing a fierce war against Chechen separatists a decade ago, promised to track down and kill the organizers of what he called a “disgusting” crime. “The terrorists will be destroyed,” he said on national television.

A landslide occurred on Newfound Gap Road (U.S. 441) around 11 a.m. Monday, about a mile south of the state line. Park road crews cleared the debris and are managing the area with flaggers allowing alternating one lane of traffic through a parking area adjacent to the slide. Because of concerns over more mud and debris falling from the hillside onto the roadway and out of concern for motorists and park employees’ safety, officials closed the road to all traffic overnight. The road was to reopen at 7 a.m. today. Motorists should be prepared to stop. Park crews will begin placing concrete barriers along the road today to prevent further debris from affecting motorists. They will also be constructing a temporary detour.

Finance chief predicts $75M shortfall NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Finance Commissioner Dave Goetz said Monday that the state’s general fund revenue could fall short by an additional $75 million next year and will probably have to be recouped through the state’s reserves. Goetz told reporters after a meeting of the State Funding Board that the state’s losses in taxes this year continues to be 1.3 to 1.8 percent, and 1.8 to 2.3 percent in the general fund. General fund collec-
tions were $196 million below expectations through the first seven months of the budget year, which ends on June 30. Goetz said part of the problem is the tobacco tax is not producing as it has in the past, falling short by $20 million this year and an estimated $25 million next year. Goetz didn’t say how much of the state’s reserves will go toward the shortfalls. Currently, the state has about $900 million in reserves.
TODAY’S FORECAST
LOCAL:
“We will be coming up with a proposal ... on how we think we can meet those losses of the additional $75 million in general fund revenues and $25 million in tobacco fund revenues,” he said. The Funding Board, which heard revenue estimates from economists this month, said during its meeting on Monday that the state could see some revenue growth next year of at least 2 percent. “We can all hope that’s true,” Goetz said.

Bill would outlaw income tax
Legislation that would declare an income tax and payroll tax unconstitutional in Tennessee has passed the Senate. The proposed constitutional amendment sponsored by Republican Sen. Brian Kelsey of Germantown was approved 25-7 Monday evening. The earliest it could go before voters is 2014. Even though the state constitution already says an income tax is not allowed in Tennessee, Kelsey has said the proposal is necessary because the difficult economic times may prompt lawmakers to try to pass an income tax. However, opponents say the measure is not necessary and that the motive for it is strictly political.
Last week, the state’s leading economist told the board he expects to see revenue growth heading into next year. Bill Fox, director of the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research, 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.

Susan Boyle
BLACKBURN, Scotland — Susan Boyle has gone shopping for a birthday present — for herself. T h e singing sensation, who turns 49 on April 1, has just received her first Boyle major royalty check of $6 million, and she’s ready to spend some of it. Boyle has made an offer on a newly built house near her home in Blackburn, Scotland. The property backs onto a small river, reportedly has five bedrooms, and was on the market for about $447,000.

commentary
Uncertainty in wake of health bill How will this “historic” health care legislation affect you? I’ve been asking a lot of people close to me this question. And the answer I keep getting is a resounding, “I don’t know.” “I spent 5 minutes looking at it this morning, and I don’t see anything that will help with our health care costs, which run between $550 and $3,000 a month,” said an Oregon suburban mom. “Small-business owner unclear on health care impact” trumpets a USA Today headline. For nearly 30 million small businesses with almost 60 million employees, “it seems less a matter of being for it or against it and more a matter of not understanding what it means for them,” the paper reports. “When you’re already overwhelmed with change and hear there’s one more coming, you say to yourself that you’ll deal with it tomorrow,” says Jerry Jellison, a small-business consultant. Pedro Alfonso, co-founder of Dynamic Concepts, a technology firm in Washington, D.C., told USA Today: “I am still a bit confused and a bit lost on some aspects of the bill and how it’s going to affect me as a small business.” Well, then, what will it mean for big insurance companies like Cigna? “Unprecedented changes, all of which aren’t really understood yet,” David Cordani, Cigna’s chief executive told The Washington Post. Even he, with his expensive lobbyists, doesn’t know for sure what’s in it for him? If the CEO of a major insurance company can’t tell how the bill will affect him, how can Josh be expected to know? Josh is a former employee of mine who is one of the 8 million Americans who use a health savings account. Josh pays $260 a month for a high-deductible insurance policy that covers his wife and kids for any family medical expenses over $6,000 or more in one year. That keeps the premium affordable. He puts $5,000 in tax-deductible money into the bank each year to cover medical expenses, which includes emergency room visits, routine health care checkups, but also prescription eyeglasses, vitamins and (big-ticket item) dental care. His health savings dollars paid for the midwives his wife preferred to use in the birth of their two children, and also for some alternative medical treatments. He loves his health care saving account. And it’s portable, not tied to his employment. Will he be allowed to keep it, like President Obama promised? “I don’t know,” he said, “I’ll try to find out.” So I asked an expert, Roy Ranthum, who helped the U.S. Treasury implement health savings accounts when they were first enabled in the 2003 Medicare prescription drug plan, and now runs an HSA consulting business. Will Josh and 8 million other Americans get to keep their HSA plans? “It’s not completely clear,” Ray tells me. I’m getting tired of hearing this answer. What? Nearly 2,500 pages of legislation and one of the nation’s leading experts can’t even tell Josh whether he’s going to keep his health plan he loves? Why not? “It depends on regulations that the secretary of (Health and Human Services) will issue,” Roy says. Nobody knows, because the answer is unknowable — it depends on what Kathleen Sebelius says. That’s right. You will be forced to buy the kind of insurance that the secretary of HHS decides you must buy. The rules will vary whether you are rich or poor, over 30 or under 30. It’s complex. And the rules will be permanently unknowable with any certainty. Because, I ask Roy, doesn’t that mean a new secretary of HHS can change the regs down the road? “Yes,” he says. This is truly history-making. Unprecedented. When Congress passed Medicare, people knew what it would do. The uncertainty pervading ObamaCare is not an accident, and it is not the fault of the press; it is the result of a deliberate strategic decision by the Democrats to have a bill that was less transparent than invisible, held off-stage until the last moment to prevent Americans from knowing what is in it. This decision to withhold an actual text until right before the vote was compounded by a further decision to delegate to a Cabinet official (can Congress even do that?) the regulatory authority to decide the key questions that determine how this bill affects millions of Americans. Can you keep your insurance? No one knows. Radical permanent political health care uncertainty. Thanks, President Obama. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial
All good things...
Seasons are over, but UT basketball teams did quite well And so, seasons that brought so much hope and excitement have come to an end. The University of Tennessee men and women are out of their respective tournaments, the women in the Round of 16 and the men in the Round of 8. In college basketball’s one-and-done format, there can be only one women’s champ and one men’s champ. In football you can end the season with a few wins and a bowl victory. In basketball winning streaks end for everyone except the NCAA champions. The women were beaten badly by Baylor in the Sweet 16, a surprise considering the Lady Vols’ top seed and ease with which they had won the first two games of the tournament. The men made it to the Elite 8 for the first time, before falling Sunday to Michigan State by one point.
Is losing by 15 any less distressing than losing by one? Ask the coaches and players. Both ways of losing hurt. Both send you home. Yet the agony of a one-point loss probably eats away at a losing player just a little bit more. A missed free throw here, a bad pass there, a foul, a lost rebound — so many individual plays come to mind when you lose by a single point. Maybe it is a little easier to take when the margin of defeat is such that no one play or handful of plays determined the outcome. People who love college basketball have a lot more to enjoy. The women’s tournament and the men’s tournament continue until next week. It will be fun to see if the University of Connecticut women are so much better than the rest of the field that they’ll continue
to trounce every opponent. It will be fun to see if playing in their hometown enhances Butler chances to win in the Final Four. It’s intriguing to watch a Final Four with only one No. 1 seed having survived. Basketball, like so many sports, can be won or lost on an off night. Poor shooting, a bad break, an injury, luck — so many factors go into whether the best teams can survive. The Tennessee teams have ended their season, but both were so full of thrills and hope that it’s hard to put it all away until next fall. But baseball and softball have begun at the collegiate level, and college football workouts begin in four months or so. It’s all part of that great cycle of life — sports end, others begin, and the ones we like come back around. And we always have our memories.

Public forum Reporter, Pigeon Forge officials receive criticism from Tony Rast
The last two rezonings in Pigeon Forge (Ogle Drive and Pine Mountain Road) demonstrate my position. While both properties went from residential to commercial zones, the Ogle Editor: Drive property secured sewer access, but the I would like to reply to the article, “Forge Pine Mountain Road property was not so annexation leads to lawsuit.” Once again Derek Hodges has failed to grasp the issues at lucky. This represents selective moratorium. One of the many issues Hodges omitted hand or willfully omitted several of the counts was how I was required to adhere to buffer in the lawsuit. Hodges’ interpretation that the City is “out requirements from streams, yet Belle Island Village and others were not required to to hurt the couple simply because they don’t like them” is absurd. This case is about equal adhere to those same requirements. Further, no one at City Hall was concerned about bufprotection under the law, and how the govfer requirements regarding the $38 million ernment cannot arbitrarily treat people difparking lot to nowhere. This represents selecferently. tive enforcement. If denial of annexation was based on the Further, the city required that our campfact that the sewer plant was “at capacity,” ground meet residential PUD density when then why did city officials vote to approve no other campground has ever had to com1,056 sewer taps at the very next meeting?
ply with this requirement. Not only was this requirement arbitrary and capricious, but its sole purpose was to fatigue me into withdrawing my site plan, thereby violating my property rights. Hodges also mentioned that “the couple suggests city officials are violating state law by holding discussions on issues to come before the City Commission prior to that group’s meetings.” The lawsuit never alleges such a violation. It does allege that city officials cannot predetermine their vote prior to any input from the people, which I fear is a common practice. I am concerned that Derek Hodges’ viewpoint has been clouded by the influence of some city officials, and that he is incapable of being unbiased. Tony Lee Rast Pigeon Forge

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press
Pigeon Forge sophomore second baseman Adam Hickman, left, takes a flip from shortstop Bret Gallihugh and turns an inning-ending double play Monday night against visiting Anthony Wayne.
Tigers stay perfect at home with 6-1 win over Northwestern Mohawks By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers baseball squad scalped the visiting Northwestern Mohawks of Ohio 6-1 on Monday night, moving the Orange-andBlack boys to 8-1 this season after last week’s 4-0 loss at Gibbs. Pigeon Forge freshman Wil Crowe picked up the win, pitching seven innings with five Ks, two walks, three hits and one unearned run allowed. Crowe helped his own cause with a 2-for-2 night, including two RBI singles. He’s now 8-for-8 in his last eight at bats. The Tigers jumped in front 1-0 in the bottom of the first when Crowe lined a oneout single to right center, scoring senior Bret Gallihugh from second base. Crowe got his second RBI of the night in the bottom of the fifth inning, driving in freshman Colt Buchanan with a single to right after Buchanan set the plate with a double. Pigeon Forge senior Trevor Matthews drove in the final run in the bottom of the sixth with a SAC fly to right, plating junior Hunter Baker who got on with a double.

Saturday at Ware Shoals, S.C.:
WARE SHOALS, S.C. — The Pigeon Forge Tigers hardball team traveled to Ware Shoals and took a sweep over the Fighting Hornets in Saturday doubleheader action at historic Riegel Stadium, where it is said that Shoeless Joe Jackson, Satchel Paige and Babe Ruth once played. The roadbound Orange-and-Black squad took a 12-0 win in the first game and closed action with a 6-0 win in the nightcap. Gallihugh picked up the win in the first game, pitching four innings of two-hit ball with six Ks. Sophomore James Jinnette closed the game with an inning of work, striking out two. Senior Justin Carter picked up the win the second game with three innings of onehit work with five Ks. Matthews threw two innings of one-hit relief.

SEYMOUR -- The Eagles are now rolling. After a 5-4 start on the diamond the Seymour Eagles baseball team has cranked off two straight wins, including a 24-1 thrashing over IMAC opponent Cocke County on Monday. Eagles’ third baseman Brandon Timmerman had the offensive game of his life against the Fighting Cocks on Monday, bashing three home runs to tie the school single-game record. He also collected an astounding eight RBIs in the game, going a blistering 4-for-5 from the plate in the contest. Logan Sawyer picked up the win on the hill, going four innings of one-hit ball against Cocke County. The win comes on the heels of an 11-8 win over William Blount Saturday night. In that game Cody Fox was the offensive hero, going 4-for-4 with a 2-run homer. Ben Whisler (three hits), Keegan Newport (two hits) and Cory Clark (two hits) also had big games for the Eagles.

Young ’Cats are All-America (AP) Having a couple of freshmen on The Associated Press’ AllAmerica team is nothing new. This year, however, they are from the same school. Kentucky’s John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins were on the All-America team announced Monday. Joining them were Ohio State junior Evan Turner, who received all but one first-team vote, Syracuse junior Wes Johnson and Villanova senior Scottie Reynolds. In the age of one-anddone players, the AllAmerica team has become a home for freshmen. Kevin Durant of Texas
and Greg Oden of Ohio State were on the 2007 team, while Michael Beasley of Kansas State and Kevin Love of UCLA were on it the next year. After a year without any freshmen being honored, Wall and Cousins moved in as the ninth set of teammates to be selected and the first since Duke’s J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams in 2006. “This means a lot to both of us. I’m surprised and glad we both made it,” said the 6-foot-4 Wall, who averaged 16.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists after arriving as one of the most highly touted high school recruits. “We had
to learn a lot as freshmen and we were able to help our teammates along the way. This means a lot to both of us.” The 6-11 Cousins became one of the country’s top big men and was the only player selected to the team who averaged a double-double with 15.3 points and 10.1 rebounds. “It’s important to me but it wasn’t something I was expecting,” Cousins said. “This means a lot because all we really did was try to come in and help our teammates.” They helped the Wildcats reach No. 1 for one week in a season they were no lower than fifth in any poll.
PREP SOCCER
Sevier County, TKA get wins on the soccer field Smoky Bears topple visiting Dixie High SEVIERVILLE — The Smoky Bears soccer team defeated visiting Dixie High (S.C.) on Saturday morning 4-1 at the Sevier County Soccer Complex. The Bears jumped out early on two Erick Flores goals, one assisted by Corey Brewer and the other unassisted. Before halftime the Purple and White had added another goal, this one as Brewer found Alberto Henriquez for another score to make it 3-0 SCHS. “We played really
well early,” coach Bryan Atchley said. “We moved the ball really well and possessed it most of the game.” In the opening minutes of the second half sophomore Arnaud Cavalletto banged in his second goal of the year on an assist from Nelson Hernandez. From there SCHS called off the dogs, giving quality minutes to their backup and reserve players. “Overall it was a nice game and we got a lot of young kids in, even in the first half, getting them some experience and getting to rest our starters.” That could play out well for Sevier County as the
Bears face district rival Morristown West today and travel to Pigeon Forge to face the in-county foe Tigers on Friday.
TKA takes out rival St. Andrews 5-3 SEYMOUR — The King’s Academy Lions soccer team improved to 4-0 on the season last week with a 5-3 win over region opponent St. Andrews. The game was nip and tuck at the beginning, as the teams traded goals to a 2-2 tie. Jon Rose scored the Academy’s first goal off a
corner kick from YoungWoo Cha. After St. Andrews knotted the score at 1-1, TKA’s Jordan Smith got into the act, scoring on an assist from teammate Josimar Lawson. But again, the Mountain Lions were quick to strike back, tying the game at 2-2. But from there TKA took over. Young-Woo Cha scored two-straight goals for TKA, the first being unassisted and the second coming on an assist from Byeong-Jin Kim. Kim then scored a goal of his own, putting TKA firmly ahead 5-2.
St. Andrew’s Noah Johnson scored with barely over a minute left to make the final margin respectable at 5-3. Goalkeeper Matt Ward finished with seven saves for TKA. The win is part of the build up of today’s game between the Academy and hometown rival Seymour. The two teams will tangle today at Householder Field. “We’re 4-0, but we haven’t played any really great teams,” TKA coach Paul Mobley, a 1990 Seymour High graduate, said. “Seymour looks really good. I hope we can play with them.”
NASCAR SPRINT CUP
Hamlin surges to victory at rain-delayed Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Denny Hamlin surged to the front after a blunder and won the raindelayed NASCAR race at Martinsville Speedway in a wild finish. The victory was Hamlin’s second straight and came on the shortest, oldest track in the Sprint Cup Series. Hamlin gave up the lead with less than 10 laps left
Monday when he headed to pit road for tires. He then rallied from ninth place to the lead in a Denny Hamlin span of just four laps. “That’s hard to do. I had to bully my way through
there towards the end, but everybody was just running into everyone,” Hamlin said. “I flattened my tired with Kenseth going down the backstretch and just somehow made it work.” First, he hugged the inside into the first turn, forcing three-wide racing that almost never leads to good things. He plowed his way into fourth place before
teammate Kyle Busch spun out, bringing out a caution. The finish was an overtime two-lap sprint on which Hamlin started fourth, pushed Ryan Newman out of the way, then slipped inside Matt Kenseth and leader Jeff Gordon for the victory — and the kind of racing that made about 30,000 fans glad they came on a work day. The race was originally
scheduled for Sunday, but was postponed by rain. Hamlin also got help from Busch, whose spinout brought out the last caution and set up the two-lap finish, and teammate Joey Logano, who helped block for him on the final lap. Logano wound up second, followed by Gordon, Newman and Martin Truex Jr.

SCHS track squads turn in another strong showing KNOXVILLE — The Sevier County High School track squads competed in the Hardin Valley Invitational on Saturday in the team’s first major meet against local competition, and both the Purple-and-White boys and girls fared well with a second- and eight-place finishes respectively. The Smoky Bears finished with 93 points, bested only by Maryville’s 119.5 tally. The Smoky Bearettes finished with 41 points in the 18-team meet. In boys’ action, strong individual performances were turned in by Jeremiah Foster and Alex McCandless, each with individual second- and third-place finishes. Kel McCarter placed third in the 300-meter hurdles, Brandon White earned two points with a seventh-place in the open 200-meter dash, Nathan Hays placed seventh in the 800-meter run, and freshman Patrick Hanlon was sixth in the 3200-meter run. All four SCHS boys’ relay teams scored points for the Smoky Bears with the 4x200-meter relay team of Kel McCarter, Dustin Hurst, Brett Pippin and Brandon White setting a new meet record, bringing home the Purple and White’s lone first-place finish in the meet. The Sevier County boys also finished well in field events with Bryce Whaley placing third and fourth in the triple jump and long jump respectively, while Austin Nave jumped well in the triple with a sixth place finish. Danny Chastain high jumped to sixth place. Ross Heatherly threw the discus to a strong third-place finish. In girls’ action, Alexis Conner helped lead her team with a second in the long jump. She also ran lead leg on two sprint relays. Haley Fox brought home some well-earned points in both hurdle races after watching teammate Jocelyn Perez get bandaged up in a crash on the seventh hurdle of the high-hurdle event. Caroline Miller placed third in the triple jump, and Hannah Pelham was the final point earner in the girls’ events with an eight-place finish in the

Advice
Widow of deceiving husband shouldn’t be angry at his daughter
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I recently lost my husband. We married quite young, and after 20 years, he had an affair and we divorced. Three years later, we remarried and stayed together for another 20 years. He was a wonderful husband and an attentive grandfather. We went to church, and he even taught a Sunday school class. Guess what? It seems that while we were divorced, he married The Other Woman in another country and forgot to tell me. I finally got things resolved so that our second marriage was legally recognized and I am entitled to the insurance money, which is enough to pay off the house and a bit more. But now the other woman is going to court to fight for their 22-year-old child’s rights -- a daughter I didn’t know about. Annie, I feel so betrayed. Our grown children now know their father lied to all of us. I am in counseling, but am so mentally and physically exhausted, I had to take a leave of absence from my job. What do I do? How can I warn others? -- Alone Dear Alone: Your letter will serve as the warning. If it’s any consolation, your husband probably was in denial about his situation. When he came back, he undoubtedly convinced himself the remarriage to you was legal and the other, foreign marriage would simply go away. The daughter, however, is another story. Regardless of the circumstances, if your husband fathered a child, he had a responsibility to support her, and the child is entitled to some of Daddy’s estate. Please don’t be so angry and resentful that you punish the wrong person.
You were smart to get counseling. It will help you through this. Dear Annie: We are part of a group of friends that often gets together for dinner. One couple pride themselves on good manners and are always correcting others on the proper utensil to use, the right pronunciation of words, and on and on. Yet this same couple drink too much, try to run the other person’s kitchen and always jump up from the table to “help the host” when it is both uninvited and unwelcome. Do we tell them how annoying they have become or simply stop inviting them to our gatherings? -- Properly Perplexed Dear Perplexed: If you are ready to stop inviting them, you may as well see whether an honest conversation will help. The next time they correct one of you, simply say, “We’re sure you don’t mean to be rude by correcting someone in public. Please stop.” If they invade your kitchen, shoo them out. You must be assertive, or you will get nowhere. As for their drinking, that is a different issue and, we might add, could well be amplifying their annoying behavior. Dear Annie: I’m writing about “Concerned Parent,” who is worried about unrecognized depression in teens. My father was depressed, and I’ve been treated for depression and anxiety for 15 years. For several months, my talented, smart, loving

17-year-old daughter became another person. She started skipping school, drinking and being verbally abusive to me. She was always embarrassed that I was being treated for depression. Then she took a psychology class that explained that depression is a neurobiological disorder and does not mean the patient is “crazy.” The next day, she asked me to take her to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her with depression and anxiety. She was given a lowdose antidepressant and sent for therapy. Within two weeks, she was my daughter again. She told me, “I can’t believe I feel calm. I thought it was normal to be constantly agitated. I didn’t know I was so unhappy.” Now I get hugs. She still has mood swings, but her center is much higher. And I learned that teen depression is different from adult depression. Instead of being sad, they might become irritable and angry, skip school, make risky choices and seem to hate everything. A doctor can help find that your child is still there, but locked up by a treatable illness. -- Grateful Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFS Police-killing plot uncovered
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine suspects tied to a Christian militia in the Midwest are charged with conspiring to kill police officers, then attack a funeral in the hopes of killing more law enforcement personnel, federal prosecutors said Monday. U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said agents moved on the group because the Hutaree members were planning a violent reconaissance mission sometime in April — just a few days away. Members of the group called Hutaree are charged in the case, including their leader, David Brian Stone, also known as “Captain Hutaree.”
Ancient ‘door to afterlife’ discovered
CAIRO (AP) — Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,500-year-old door to the afterlife from the tomb of a highranking Egyptian official near Karnak temple in Luxor, the Egyptian antiquities authority said Monday. These recessed niches found in nearly all ancient Egyptian tombs were meant to take the spirits of the dead to and from the afterworld. The nearly six-foot- tall (1.75 meters) slab of pink granite was covered with religious texts. The door came from the tomb of User, the chief minister of Queen Hatshepsut, a powerful, long ruling 15th century B.C. queen from the New Kingdom with a famous mortuary temple near Luxor in southern Egypt. User held the position of vizier for 20 years, also acquiring the titles of prince and mayor of the city, according to the inscriptions. He may have inherited his position from his father.
9 charged with bullying in suicide
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts prosecutor says nine teens have been charged in the “unrelenting” bullying of a teenage girl who killed herself, and two of them have been charged with statutory rape. Northwestern District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel says 15-year-old Phoebe Prince of South Hadley suffered months of nearly constant stalking and harassment in person and online. She killed herself Jan. 14. Scheibel says school officials knew about the bullying, but none will face criminal charges.
Treasury to sell Citigroup stock
NEW YORK (AP) — The Treasury Department said Monday it will begin selling the stake it owns in Citigroup Inc., which could result in a profit to the government of about $7.5 billion. The government received 7.7 billion shares of Citigroup in exchange for $25 billion it gave the bank during the 2008 credit crisis. It said it will sell the shares over the course of this year, depending on market conditions.

Heavy rain threatens records in East By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press Writer
BOSTON — Residents along the East Coast braced Monday for days of heavy rain, flooding and the wettest March on record in some areas. The National Weather Service posted flood warnings and advisories from Maine to the Carolinas as forecasts called for as much as 5 to 7 inches of rain over the next three days. The storm threatened to push already-swollen rivers over their banks and add to the misery of homeowners still struggling to bail out
flooded basements from other recent storms in the Northeast. “This is really a historic event we are in,” said Walter Drag, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass. The rainiest March on record in Boston was 1953, when 11 inches fell during the month; nearly 10 inches had already fallen before the start of the latest storm. Monthly records were also expected to fall in New York City, Providence, R.I., and Portland, Maine. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick put the National Guard on alert,
and soldiers helped to fill sandbags Monday. “We have a very serious problem. This is turning out to be a nightmare,” said Steve Kass, spokesman for the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency. The storm hit as the Northeast continued to recover from a storm March 13-15 that dropped as much as much as 10 inches of rain, causing several rivers to rise and flooding basements throughout the region. The biggest concern in Massachusetts was along the Blackstone River, which
could have its worst flooding in 50 years, Kass said. The Pawtuxet River could also crest higher than the record it set earlier this month. Officials were telling people who have experienced past flooding along the two rivers that “it might not be a bad idea to evacuate,” Kass said. Road closures were already being reported Monday in several states, including New Jersey. Up to 2 inches of rain fell overnight on the state, and flood warnings were posted for urban areas and small streams in several counties.
