SEVIERVILLE — Police have charged the father-in-law of a Sevierville man with his 2009 murder. Jimmie R. Robinson, 66, of Sevier County was arrested Thursday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of James Jason Hicks, whose body was found on the patio of his Chilhowee Drive home April 19. Robinson was being held without bond at the Sevier County Jail. The arrest came after a Sevier County Grand Jury issued a sealed presentment charging Robinson with the crime,

District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn said. Hicks’ body was found at his carport, according to a police report. He was lying on his side Robinsion in a pool of blood. Authorities did not release the cause of death at that time, and Dunn said he was not prepared to reveal the information Thursday. “I’ll just say it’s a homicide,” he said. Knoxville media reported the cause of death as a gunshot wound, but The Mountain Press could not confirm that

with authorities Thursday. The autopsy has not been released. Hicks reportedly was going through a divorce and a bitter custody dispute at the time of his murder. His wife, Wendi Leann Hicks, had alleged that he molested one of his three children and she allegedly had prevented him from seeing any of the children for almost a year prior to the murder. Sources close to the investigation say those molestation charges had been investigated and Hicks had been cleared. Hicks saw two of his children for the first time during the period shortly before his death, and was scheduled to see the other one just after he was

killed. Dunn declined to talk Thursday about whether those issues played a part in the possible motive for the slaying. He indicated his office would not be releasing much additional information right away. “We will present our case in court at the proper time,” Dunn said. “Mr. Robinson has a presumption of innocence legally until a circuit court judge or jury says otherwise,” he said. Robinson’s arraignment is set for April 19; he could ask for bond to be set at that time. First-degree murder is the only charge in Tennessee where See hicks, Page A4

Charles Turner of the Pigeon Forge Trolley Department, shows off his best dive form during the United Way Polar Bear Plunge on Thursday at the Pigeon Forge Community Center. The event kicks off the 2010 event season.

SEVIERVILLE — Amid all the discussion over the County Commission’s use of the Lord’s Prayer, a few local citizens have spoken out against the use of the biblical prayer to open the meetings, arguing it goes against the very foundation of the country. The prayer at the start of each meeting, and a wall hanging in the room depicting the prayer, the Ten Commandments and Jesus seem to violate the freedom of religion promised in the Bill of Rights, opponents say. Washington-based legal group Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) has threatened to sue the county if the prayer and the wall hanging aren’t removed. AU argues the two amount to government-sponsored religion in Sevier County. Acknowledging the strong religious convictions many founding fathers professed, Gatlinburg resident Vesna Plakanis points out many of America’s first residents were escaping religious persecution in other lands. That’s why, for some of the country’s earliest leaders, ensuring there is what Thomas Jefferson called a “wall between church and state” was paramount, she says. The First Amendment to the Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” “The issue is, this is a government group that is using this prayer at each of their meetings and, while I say the Lord’s Prayer myself, that does not represent everyone who lives here in Sevier County,” Plakanis says. “The First Amendment is very clear that you cannot endorse one religion in that way.” Plakanis worries the practice may leave some local residents feeling disenfranchised and unwelcome at government meetings. The practice, she fears, could start the area on a “slippery slope” toward more government connection with religion. See prayer, Page A4

FAA: Pilot practicing touch-and-go landings By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — Pilot Dwight Burnett was practicing touchand-go landings when he crashed the Beechcraft Baron plane he was flying, according to an official with the Federal Aviation Administration. Burnett crashed the plane at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. He

had two passengers in the plane with him, but no one was injured in the accident. Burnett, whom airport manager Don Baker said had almost 40 years of experience as a pilot, apparently crashed when the landing gear didn’t extend. The FAA is investigating. “It landed gear up and ran off the end of the runway into the grass, so we do have it under investigation,” said Kathleen

Bergen, spokeswoman for the FAA Southern region, which includes Tennessee. “We don’t know the reason. We don’t know if it was a mechanical failure or what,” she said. The Mountain Press could not reach Burnett, who does not appear to have a published phone number. It will be some time before the cause of the crash is determined, Bergen said.

“Investigators are talking to the pilot, examining the aircraft, gathering information, and then the National Transportation Safety Board makes a determination about the probable cause of any accident.” The plane was removed Thursday, Baker said. “We have it moved and everything’s back to normal,” he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

room session lasts 90 minutes and combines art history, art appreciation and hands-on art activities. The program focuses on current and upcoming KMA exhibitions and strives to heighten students’ appreciation and insight into the art. “It’s something we’ve been lucky enough to do for a few years now,” Cosner said. “After TCAPs, we’ll take a field trip to the museum to see the artists they’ve been learning about. One year we did wax melting crayons and abstract paintings. The kids always love it when someone from can outside the school can come in and do something different.” This week, 11 sixth grade classes of Cosner’s have been learning about visual artist Anne Wilson, whose exhibit “Wind/Rewind/Weave” is at KMA through April 25. “They’ve been learning about her and her methods of weaving,” Watson said. “It gets them more connected with the art.” Watson began getting serious about art when he was in high school. “My family is very supportive,” he said, adding that participating in the Meeting the Masters program has made him a better teacher. Watson told the students that weaving started 10,000 years ago. “All yarn has been dyed and spun from fibrous materials. Yarn is basically thread that’s been twisted.” The group also discussed primary, secondary and complimentary colors during their lesson. “I tried to make a potholder for my mother, but I didn’t have much luck,” student Makyla Knauf said. Fellow student Elle Ridley assured her that all it takes is practice. “I’ve done weaving before at home — it’s fun,” she said. “I love all of the colors mixing together.”

“I’ve lived in theocracies in the Middle East and I know how politically shrill things become when religion is involved,” she says. “I think there would be a lot less divisiveness in this country if religion were taken out of some of our political debates.” While many local Christians support county government’s use of the prayer, Plakanis says they would feel much different if commissioners were repeating a Muslim chant. That may seem far-fetched, but she points out Iran was a more free society before a religious coup took over the secular government. Likewise, Sevierville resident Shawn Williams says he thinks those fighting so hard to save the prayer and the picture need to remember county leaders come to their meetings to do the government’s business, not to worship. His recent letter to The Mountain Press was the first public comment supporting the Americans United push, with even the person who made the complaint to AU refusing to be identified. “The courthouse is not a church and it should never be made into one,” Williams wrote. “If you want to pray, you do it in private or you do it at a church, and if you want to display the Ten Commandments, do it at home or at your church. What County Mayor Larry Waters is doing is against the Constitution, plain and simple, and yes, it should be stopped.”

thing to deserve it. It’s just like a stake in the heart.” She said she didn’t want to comment on any specifics about the case before it goes to court. “I want this to come to trial and all the evidence to come out,” she said.

Williams’ insistence that prayer be done in private may be a reference to Jesus’ own commandment that his disciples not pray in public such as some religious leaders of his day, but rather go into a closed room and talk to God privately. Williams maintains the U.S. was founded as a place where freedom of religion could flourish, rather than one where Christianity could be placed above other religions by the government. “Regardless of what evangelical Christians say, we do not live in a Christian nation,” Williams wrote. “We live in a nation of many different religions, colors and creeds.” While Supreme Court rulings have upheld the practice of starting a legislative session with prayer, AU argues the support has been for either nonsectarian — meaning not specific to any religion — or multi-religious invocations. Plakanis agrees with Williams and AU, saying she believes county leaders should consider their options. “They don’t just have to do away with prayer altogether,” she says. “They could have a moment of silence or even invite in representatives of every local religion to say prayers. You just cannot do one thing assuming that represents everyone in Sevier County. “America is about the will of the majority while respecting the wishes of the minority, not silencing the minority or telling them to go somewhere else.” n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Obama urges patience as health care law kicks in By JULIE PACE Associated Press Writer PORTLAND, Maine — Facing a public still wary of his massive health care overhaul, President Barack Obama urged Americans not to judge the nearly $1 trillion legislation he signed into law last week until the reforms take hold. During an enthusiastic, campaign-style appearance in Maine’s largest city, Obama mocked the pundits and pollsters who say he isn’t getting a boost from his yearlong campaign to pass the sweeping reform. “Every single day since I signed the reform law, there’s been another poll or headline that said, ’Nation still divided on health care reform. Polls haven’t changed yet.’ Well, yes. It just happened last week,” Obama said to laughter. He continued: “Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm and you planted some seeds, and they came out the next day and they looked and — ’Nothing’s happened. There’s no crop. We’re going to starve. Oh, no! It’s a disaster!’ It’s been a week, folks. So, before we

President Barack Obama speaks on health insurance reform Thursday at the Portland Expo in Portland, Maine. find out if people like health care reform, we should wait to see what happens when we actually put it into place. Just a thought.” The president’s overhaul extends health coverage to

32 million people who are uninsured and will shape how almost every American receives and pays for medical treatment. Some aspects of the plan go into effect this year, but president himself

has said it could take four years for the full overhaul to take hold. Obama’s trip to Portland took him to the home state of two moderate Republican senators, Susan Collins and

Olympia Snowe, whose votes for the legislation the president ardently sought but ultimately could not win. The White House said both senators were invited to attend the event, but

neither did. During the speech, one in a series of appearances to sell the health reforms, Obama focused on his health plan’s short- and long-term impact on small businesses, many of which have suffered during the economic downturn. Under the plan, businesses that have 25 or fewer employees with average annual wages of less than $50,000 will receive tax credits this year if they provide health care coverage to their workers. Those credits are expected to increase by 2014, with 4 million small businesses benefiting, according to the White House. “This health care tax is pro-jobs, it’s pro-business and it starts this year,” Obama said. Also starting in 2014, companies with up to 100 employees will be able to buy insurance through new state-based purchasing pools, or exchanges, with the goal of giving small businesses the same kind of purchasing power as larger companies. About 22 million self-employed Americans will also be able to purchase insurance through the exchanges.

Medical waste shipments turn gruesome ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The first discovery was gruesome enough: a head and torso tucked inside a red biohazard tub that arrived at a Kansas company. Then it got worse. Six more heads and torsos showed up in the next week after someone apparently dismembered the bodies with a chain saw or another cutting device, police said. Authorities are investigating a New Mexico company that was supposed to have donated the organs in the bodies to science and had the remains cremated. The owner of the Albuquerque company, Paul Montano, was arrested Thursday. One man whose father’s head and torso showed up in Kansas in the shipment said the family received ashes of what they thought was their 83-year-old dad after he died of a stroke. Now they are in shock at the thought that the ashes they scattered in a heartfelt remembrance last year may not have been their father — or at least not all of him. “To not give you everything and to have the head shipped some place else, it’s really disturbing,” said Chuck Hines, of Bosque Farms, N.M. The owner of Bio Care Southwest denied dismembering any bodies. Montano told police his father picks up and delivers bodies to Bio Care. The investigation is ongoing; his alleged motive was not

immediately known. Bio Care receives donated bodies and harvests organs and other parts that it sells for medical research. The researchers return the organs to Bio Care once their experiments are complete, then Bio Care sends the remains for cremation and gives the ashes to the families, investigators said. Bio Care’s Web site says its mission is to advance medicine through donated non-transplantable human tissue, allowing scientists to study a donor’s organs to better understand disease. “At Bio Care, you will always be treated with dignity, respect and honesty,” its home page says. The company has a contract with Stericycle, based in Kansas City, Kan., to dispose of any leftover medical waste. Stericycle told investigators it receives medical waste, soft tissue and organs and occasional limbs — but never heads and torsos. Homicide detectives in Kansas City began investi-

gating the grim body part discoveries, and they were eventually traced back to New Mexico. Court documents identified three of the bodies as Jacquelyn Snyder, Charles Hines and Harold Dillard. Snyder, 42, died Nov. 1 in Albuquerque of a methadone overdose, and Hines died last September of a stroke, according to officials and family members. Dillard was from Albuquerque, but the cause of his death was not immediately known. The younger Hines turned to Bio Care to harvest his father’s organs for science after learning it would take up to a year to get the body back if he donated it to a university. The process was much quicker with Bio Care. Bio Care sent back a sealed box with what Hines was told were all his father’s cremated remains. He memorialized his father at a simple gathering of friends last October at the Albuquerque International Balloon

Secret shopper scam crossing state NASHVILLE (AP) — The state labor department is warning Tennesseans about a scam that advises consumers to cash fake checks for services as a secret shopper. The fake check has the name and address of the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development and instructs the recipient to cash the check. The recipient is then told to use part of the cash for shopping purchases, keep a portion and then send the rest by a wire

transfer to a contact in London. The department said in a news release Thursday that it has received dozens of calls from people who received the checks, typically in the amount of $3,400 and appearing to be an unemployment benefit check. Jeff Hentschel, a spokesman for the labor department, said so far nine people have attempted to cash the checks, but there may be hundreds more checks that have been sent. “We really believe this

is the tip of the iceberg,” he said. The checks look similar to real unemployment benefit checks that the department sends out, including the same state seal, commissioner’s signature and routing code. Hentschel said because of the economic recession, the department has been sending out over 100,000 real unemployment benefit checks a week, making it an easy target to copy. Hentschel said the department learned about the scam a couple

of weeks ago when people started calling to verify the checks’ authenticity. He said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has started looking into the scam, which he said likely has connections outside of the state and possibly outside of the United States. The recipient is told to cash the check, make a purchase for about $100 at places like Walmart, Kmart or Best Buy and then provide an evaluation of their experience.

commentary

Republicans just wait for a screw-up Remember the good old days? Remember when a Republican senator, Olympia Snowe of Maine, said she heard history calling? Well, history did call and not a single Republican answered in Washington. Zero in the Senate. Zero in the House. It was not just that the Republicans were against health care reform — or Obamacare as they liked to call it — it was that they thought they could pretend the United States has no problems and needs no government. In the end, they just weren’t there. In the end, the nation is lurching ahead without them, brushing aside a pathetic and nasty rearguard action by loonies who spit at elected representatives and throw bricks at their windows, shouting “Repeal!” This is a strategy? The Republicans still think so. They say voters are going to return them to power in November because the Democrats passed some reform, so it could be called political strategy. But it is anything but a governing strategy; they have embraced questionable political tactics, but have withdrawn from governance. Can that work? I think not. Where I come from, you can’t beat something with nothing. And the Republicans (and further-out conservatives) have chosen to go with nothing. And they’ve got plenty of nothing, as Sen. John McCain made clear to all when he said Republicans will not work with Democrats for the rest of this year. Ahhh! Well, to be fair, I suppose they have a little something. They still have Ronald Reagan. We are close to the end of the Age of Reagan, if that age is defined by the belief that government can do no good, but the Gipper, in memory and memoriam, is still the only Republican out there with an idea. Even in Obama’s America, that scary place where everybody doesn’t look like everybody else, the Democrats and liberals had to ritually chant that government action is not government takeover. The Grand very Old Party owes its little victories in this fight to the man who left the presidency 22 years ago. Democrats are still afraid of his works and words even as they try to change them. So: Public Option? God Forbid! Single Payer? Heavens Forfend! Obama is an admirer of Reagan as president without sharing his beliefs. He has often praised the California conservative for his skill in changing “the trajectory of America.” Now, Obama may have done that himself, will have done it if health care reform improves the system and like, Social Security and Medicare before it, this law and revisions to come become an essential part of the American birthright. It is, by the way, almost comical to see that Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, derided as fools or tyrants a week ago, have quickly evolved into tough political geniuses — at least in the Washington press. It is obvious now that the president and most Democrats have a governing agenda. Obama spelled it out during the campaign: “The project of the next president is figuring out how to create bottom-up sconomic growth, as opposed to trickle-down economic growth.” Tough job, but the Democrats are obviously going to try, and their leader seems to have learned a lot about how to try. What about the Republicans in their current self-imposed exile from governing? Well, they will eat their young (who are not all that young). That primal instinct showed itself last week when the American Enterprise Institute, part of what used to be mainstream conservative Republicanism, bounced one of their most accomplished fellows, David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. The apparent reason was that he had criticized Republican tactics in the health care debate. Or, perhaps it was because he was heard to say this: “Republicans originally thought that Fox (News) worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox.” Well, maybe. But as I read it, they don’t intend to work at all. They want to wait and hope Obama screws up. He didn’t this time. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Hallmark additions

Parton lining up special guests for TV special to be filmed at park If you’re Dolly Parton and you want to make the 25th anniversary of your theme park — one of the most famous and respected in the world — even more special, how do you do it? Easy. You sign on with cable’s The Hallmark Channel to give Dollywood even more national exposure, and then you sign up some marquee names to appear. A week ago, Sevier County’s favorite daughter announced that longtime friend and duet partner Kenny Rogers would be one of the guests. Wow! Dolly and Kenny — “Islands in the Stream,” “We’ve Got Tonight” and all those wonderful Christmas songs — performing together while the special is being taped in Pigeon Forge. How can she top that? Well, this week she did. It was confirmed by a park spokeswoman that Parton has reached tentative agreement

with country star Billy Ray Cyrus to be on the show. And oh, by the way, joining her dad will be Miley Cyrus, better known to fans worldwide as “Hannah Montana.” Now, getting Kenny Rogers and Billy Ray Cyrus is impressive in its own right. Adding Hannah Montana — er, Miley Cyrus — is just downright icing on the cake. In the four years they’ve been on the air, Hannah Montana the character and Miley Cyrus the person have grown into superstars. There have been Hannah Montana movies, soundtracks, books and a clothing line, and the Disney series has won a multitude of awards. Miley, who has grown into a vibrant 17-year-old beauty, has earned her own recording contract, written a memoir, had a fixture in her likeness placed at Madame Tussauds in New York City. In other words, Miley is

one of the hottest young celebrities going. Parton’s connection to the budding superstar actress/singer is that she has played Hannah Montana’s “Aunt Dolly” on the television show — not that she needs the exposure. Dolly also is the teenager’s godmother. The special is likely to be filmed at Dollywood in early May when the Queen of Country Music is in Pigeon Forge for her annual homecoming parade. What will be included in the taping, and whether the public will be allowed to be in the park to see it, is still unclear. Meanwhile, officials at Dollywood say they hope to have more details to announce next week. It’s hard to believe that there could be anything to upstage what has already been released. But don’t put it past Dolly to top what seems to be untoppable.

The SCHS boys and girls teams pose with their trophies after sweeping The Mountain Press Relays at Householder Field in Seymour on Thursday. PREP TRACK AND FIELD

County champs, again ... Sevier County girls, boys win The Mountain Press Relays By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — The Sevier County High School track and field team proved again that when it comes to Sevier County, they’re the cream of the crop. Repeating a feat they’ve pulled off for three straight years, both the girls and boys captured the county championship Thursday, winning The Mountain Press Relays at Seymour High School. Amazingly, the boys squad took first in 16 of 17 events, while the girls won first in 13 of 17 events. Spoiling the Sevier County boys’ events sweep was Seymour shot putter Nick Smith, who edged Sevier County’s Ross Heatherly by two feet and two inches for the win. Overall, Sevier County’s boys grabbed 155 points. Gatlinburg-Pittman pulled off a tightly fought run for second place, finishing 11 points ahead of Seymour 52-41. Pigeon Forge brought up the rear with Jason Davis/The Mountain Press nine points.

Eagles top Forge at Smokies Park By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE - The Seymour Eagles took a 3-1 win over county rival Pigeon Forge on Thursday night at Smokies Park in Sevierville. Despite some rocky patches, it was a pitcher’s dual between Seymour ace Brandon Timmerman and Pigeon Forge senior Bret Gallihugh through the better part of four innings. But the Eagles (9-4) managed to claw their way to first blood in the bottom of the fourth when Seymour’s Oakley Fox stepped to the plate with two down

and the bases juiced. Fox promptly smacked a firstpitch liner down the left field line, staying just fair and proving to be a basesclearing double that made it 3-0 Seymour. “That was clutch, that was great for Oakley’s confidence right there,” said Seymour coach Scott Norman. “Bases loaded, he took a fast ball and just turned on it and busted the game open. He was one of the heroes.” That was all of the Eagle scoring the rest of the night, but those three runs were more than enough See EAGLES, Page A9

NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

NCAA mulling expansion to 96 basketball teams By JOHN MARSHALL AP Basketball Writer INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA appears to be on the verge of expanding the men’s basketball tournament to 96 teams. Insisting that nothing has been decided, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen nonetheless outlined a detailed plan Thursday that included the logistics and timing of a 96-team tournament, how much time off the players would have and even revenue distribution. Shaheen said the NCAA looked at keeping the current 65-team field and expanding to 68 or 80 teams, but decided the bigger bracket was best fit logistically and financially. It would be played during the same time frame as the current three-week tournament and include first-round byes for 32 teams. Although the plan still needs to be approved by the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and passed on to the board of directors, most of the details already seem to be in place. “We needed to make sure that we did everything possible to use the due diligence window to understand ourselves and understand what the future would hold,” Shaheen said. “So that’s what we’re doing, that’s the process we’re undertaking. We’ve been handling it every day for the last several months and years, as we studied for the benefit of the organization.” The men’s tournament last expanded in 2001, adding one team to the 64-team field that was set in 1985. The 96-team tournament would likely envelop the 32-team NIT, though Shaheen said no decision has been made on what to do with the NCAA’s other, independently operated season-ending tourna-

cushion for Timmerman, who settled down from a couple spots of early trouble to dominate the next two innings of play. But the Tigers (9-2) weren’t going to bow out without a fight, and Timmerman found himself in some heat again with two down in the top of the seventh. Ironically, it was Gallihugh stepping to the plate with runners at first and second. Timmerman’s fastball started to rise a little in the seventh, and one got past the catcher which allowed Pigeon Forge senior Trevor Matthews to score from second on the play. Gallihugh walked on four straight pitches, and senior Justin Carter as the potential go-ahead run with two down and runners at the corners. Timmerman rebounded, however, and got Carter to line out to deep center to end the threat and the

Insisting that nothing has been decided, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen outlined a detailed plan Thursday that included the logistics and timing of a 96-team tournament. ment. The new format would start two days later than the current 65-team field because it would eliminate the Tuesday play-in game and would conclude on the same day, a Monday. It would be played at one fewer venue — again, the play-in game — and the NCAA says it would include no additional travel time for teams. The first-round games for the 64 non-bye teams would take place on Thursday and Friday, with the winners playing the top eight seeds in each region on Saturday and Sunday. Winners on Saturday would likely play again on Tuesday, and the Sunday winners on Wednesday. Those winners would then move on to the regionals, playing alternate days starting on Thursday. Shaheen said the NCAA hasn’t decided on whether to keep the same sites for second and first-round games or to make the midweek sites the same as the regionals. He also said the amount of time studentathletes would be out of school would be roughly the same as the current model, but teams that play in the opening round and keep winning would actually be out an entire week of school instead of just a few days. “On a 96-team basis — vs. the current 97 teams that the NCAA conducts through the championship and the NIT, for example — you have, on a side-by-side basis, a reduction in the travel time,” Shaheen said. Adding teams to the NCAA tournament could create some monumen-

tally lopsided games, or seeds in the 30s and 90s playing each other. There might be less importance on the regular season and conference tournaments; the resume wouldn’t need to be padded so much if more teams get in. “I don’t see any watering down at all,” Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said. “I think there are a number of teams playing in the NIT that could have gotten in, and I think there will be more people and more excitement with more teams in.” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said he would like to see regular-season and conference tournament champions get automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. “The regular season would mean something,” he said. “There would still be bubble teams and all that, but we would reward those teams accordingly. And I would still like the conference tournament champions. They make a lot of money and celebrate each conference. I think it’s a way of each conference celebrating their conference, which is a good thing.” Any plans to expand the tournament hinge on the NCAA’s $6 billion television deal with CBS. The 11-year deal, signed in 1999, has a mutual opt-out until July 31. The NCAA has already spoken with numerous networks about expansion, so the opt-out is at least on the table, and adding 32 more teams is certainly going to bring in more revenue. The proposal is strictly for the men’s tournament. Another NCAA committee is looking at whether to expand the women’s tournament or keep it in the current format.

contest. “Timmerman went the distance for us,” said Norman. “He just kept hitting his spots and giving his defense a chance, and that’s why he’s one of our top pitchers, probably our ace.” Both Timmerman and Gallihugh hit some rough patches through the first four innings. Pigeon Forge senior Hayden Whaley touched Timmerman for a leadoff double in the top of the second, but the Tigers couldn’t capitalize on the early opportunity. Seymour’s Cory Clark stroked a two-out single to opposite field off Gallihugh in the bottom of the second, reaching third on the play due to a fielding error in right. But the Eagles failed to capitalize as well, and the score remained knotted at goose eggs heading

into the third. Timmerman found himself in another tough spot in the top of the fourth with the bases packed and just one out. Timmerman walked two before an error on the short stop loaded the bases because the player’s foot came off the bag before making the catch on a routine force out at second base. No matter, because Timmerman regrouped and ended the inning by forcing a shallow pop out to right and an inning-ending 6-4 groudout, keeping the game scoreless. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Cops: Jersey teen ‘sold’ stepsister, 7, for sex at party

Associated Press

Workers watch as a machine begins the demolition of Giants Stadium, in East Rutherford, N.J., February.

Giant mystery demolished Rumor has it Jimmy Hoffa is buried in soon-to-be-demolished stadium By DAVID PORTER Associated Press Writer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — As the story goes, former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa has attended every event at Giants Stadium since 1976, buried in a final resting place somewhere under the west end zone. As former New York Giants punter Sean Landeta once joked, “It gives a whole new meaning to kicking into the coffin corner.� More than 20 years after a self-described mob hit man set the rumor mill in motion with an interview in Playboy magazine, the question lingers: Is the answer to one of the enduring mysteries of the 20th century buried beneath the stadium — and about to be buried even deeper when the stadium is demolished this spring? To one former law enforcement official who investigated the case in the 1980s, there is no mystery. The FBI considered the Giants Stadium tale “a dead issue� by the time Playboy printed its interview with Donald “Tony The Greek� Frankos in late 1989, according to retired FBI agent Jim Kossler. “When that information came to our attention we batted it around, but we were all convinced in the end that this guy was not reliable,� he said. “We were able to prove to our mind that what he was telling us couldn’t have happened because he either couldn’t have been there or he was in jail at the time.�

Associated Press

Jimmy Hoffa was last seen in a restaurant parking lot outside Detroit on July 30, 1975.

As Frankos described it, mob leaders tried to dissuade Hoffa from retaking control of the Teamsters after his release from prison on a jury tampering rap. But Hoffa refused, and allegedly threatened to tell authorities about mob infiltration of the unions. Hoffa was last seen in a restaurant parking lot outside Detroit on July 30, 1975. Frankos claimed Hoffa was killed in Michigan by members of the Westies, a New York Irish gang, on the orders of Genovese crime family boss Anthony “Fat Tony� Salerno. His body was cut up in Michigan, then driven to New Jersey several months later and buried in the concrete foundation of the sprouting Giants Stadium, Frankos said. He even claimed to know what area of the stadium: Section 107, in the corner of the west end zone. Whether there ever was

any veracity to Frankos’ claims, the story grew legs during the next 20 years and provided fallback fodder for headline writers and sports columnists. The west end zone became the “Jimmy Hoffa Memorial End Zone.� Teams didn’t just beat the Giants or Jets, they “Jimmy Hoffa-ed� them. Authors and cable TV sleuths searched the site and found nothing. Not that other bodies weren’t unearthed during the construction of Giants Stadium 34 years ago. Kossler recalled how contractors would call the county prosecutor’s office every time they dug up a corpse, but eventually decided it disrupted the work too much. “After about the fifth one, they stopped,� he said. Competing theories about Hoffa’s final repose have surfaced over the years. Three times between 2003 and 2007 authorities searched properties in Michigan only to come up empty. Another story had Hoffa’s body incinerated in a garbage disposal facility in Hamtramck, Mich. Still others had him buried in Florida or in a mob-controlled dump not far from

Giants Stadium where oil fires burned underground. The latter spot “would have been perfect because there wouldn’t be any remains, and there would be no way to even look for them without getting incinerated yourself,� said Mark Moran, author of “Weird NJ,� a compendium of odd facts about New Jersey. Giants Stadium is being demolished this spring as the Giants and Jets move into a new stadium next door. Vincent Parziale, whose company, Gramercy, is performing the demolition, said no one has contacted him about digging up the concourse under Section 107. A spokesman for the FBI’s Newark office said the bureau has no plans to oversee the demolition of Section 107. Once the demolition is completed, the 13-foot bowl in the ground where the field now sits will be filled in with concrete and asphalt and turned into a parking lot — perhaps finally burying one part of the Hoffa mystery, says Gramercy Vice President Frank Gramicizia. “If he’s down there, he’s going to be down there deeper,� Gramicizia said.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — It started with a party invitation to a 15-year-old girl from some men she knew. She took her 7-year-old stepsister to an apartment down the street from their home near the Statehouse, where the girls had been hanging around outside on a Sunday afternoon. For the younger girl, police say it quickly descended into a horrifying ordeal in which she was gangraped by as many as seven men as her sister not only watched but got paid by those who did it. Their parents, none the wiser, thought maybe they had run away. “We’re talking about a kid who told her sister to go into an apartment and let people rape her,� said Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak. “It’s unfathomable.� The teen has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age, but the county prosecutor plans to ask the court to try her as an adult. In the meantime, she is being held at the Mercer County Youth Detention Center. The 7-year-old had wanted to tag along because she was worried about the 15-year-old’s safety, Mayor Doug Palmer said. When the girls didn’t return home by 4:30 Sunday afternoon, their parents called police, believing the older one had run away from home and taken her younger sister with her. In fact, they were down the street inside a 13thfloor apartment at Rowan Towers, a high-rise complex so dangerous that police are hired as security guards at night. “They keep it clean on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that you have to worry about,� said neighbor William Johnson, who says police are coming out of the building all the time. Inside apartment 13-C, police said, the 7-year-old was soon left alone as her sister headed to a back bedroom to sell sex to several men. When she came out into the living room, she handed her 7-year-old sister money and encouraged her to let the men touch her. “It went from touching to straight out assault and rape,� Juniak said. “They threatened to kill her if she screamed or told anyone.� Afterward, the child put on her clothes and left. Her sister stayed behind with the men. Two women found the child crying outside the apartment and walked her home, where police were waiting. The child told them what happened and was treated at a hospital. When police located the 15-year-old later that night, she also told them what happened and was arrested. Palmer said the crimes are among the worst he’s seen in 20 years as mayor. “It’s sickening,� he said. “The police are taking this personal. I know there’s a place in hell for all the people that participated in this and I’m sure they will get there.�

Democrat McWherter hits GOP’s Haslam on jobs claim By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Jackson businessman Mike McWherter in a speech Thursday to celebrate his being the only serious Democratic candidate to file for governor took aim at a leading Republican rival for the job. Addressing supporters from the state Capitol steps, McWherter targeted Republican Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam for what he called exaggerations in a statewide campaign ad. Haslam boasted in the spot of his role in creating 11,000 jobs as an executive with the family-owned Pilot Corp. truck stop chain. A report by The Associated Press last month revealed that nearly half that many

jobs were added to the Knoxvillebased company’s payroll through mergers and acquisitions of other truck stop chains. “These are serious times, and these times require more from a candidate than simply juggling numbers on his TV ads to inflate his accomplishments,� McWherter said. “If he’s willing to stretch the truth on jobs, how can we trust him with the economy?� Haslam spokesman David Smith deemed McWherter’s comments “not worth a response.� Haslam has previously defended the ad as showing his experience in growing a successful Tennessee business. McWherter, 54, runs a beer distributorship and is chairman of a

bank. He is the son of former Gov. Ned McWherter, who did not attend the Thursday speech because of a scheduling conflict. Mike McWherter became the de facto Democratic nominee a day earlier, when former state House Majority Leader Kim McMillan dropped out of the race to instead run for Clarksville mayor. She was the fourth major Democrat to bow out of the governor’s race before Thursday’s filing deadline. Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen can’t run again because of term limits. McWherter this week made a $1 million contribution to his campaign. Speaking to reporters after his speech, he did not rule out writing more checks.

Current reports point to economy’s recovery By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Business Writer WASHINGTON — Rising factory output and a decline in the pace of layoffs is giving economists confidence that the recovery has staying power. The government is expected to report Friday that the economy added jobs in March for only the second time since December 2007. Still, job creation is likely to remain weak for years to come, in part because U.S. factories have become more efficient, producing more goods with fewer workers. On top of that, the sector’s contribution to the overall economy has been shrinking for decades due to competition from China and other countries where factory workers are paid much less.

Another reason the jobgrowth engine is stuck a low gear is that the building sector remains extremely weak in the aftermath of the housing bust. Construction spending fell sharply in February to its lowest level in eight years, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Spending fell particularly hard in commercial ventures, such as hotels and office buildings. “Even as manufacturing continues to hum along, the construction sector looks awful,� Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, said. U.S. manufacturing activity increased in March at its fastest rate in 5 1/2 years, a private trade group said Thursday. Manufacturing data released Thursday by China, Britain and the 16 countries using the

euro all showed a surge in activity in March. Manufacturers are benefiting from a robust recovery in Asia and parts of Latin America and increased business investment in the United States. Factories have also been churning out goods for businesses that during the recession had let their stockpiles dwindle to save cash. If consumer spending doesn’t pick up, that burst of manufacturing could ebb. The weak jobs market showed signs of stabilizing on Thursday. The Labor Department said new claims for jobless benefits dropped by 6,000 last week, to a seasonally adjusted 439,000. It was the fourth decline in five weeks, a signal that the pace of layoffs is slowing. Still, the number of people continuing to claim

unemployment benefits remains high, at nearly 4.7 million — a sign that hiring remains weak. And that figure doesn’t include the more than 6 million people who are receiving extended benefits from the federal government after their state benefits — which last 26 weeks — ran out. Without much help from construction or manufacturing, the unemployment rate, now at 9.7 percent, is likely to be high for several years.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday in a television interview that administration officials are “very worried� about recovering the more than 8 million jobs lost in the recession. But he noted that business growth has been improving and expects the economy “is going to start creating jobs again.� The secretary said the jobless rate is “still terribly high and is going to stay unacceptably high for a very long time� because of

the damage caused by the recession. The interview was broadcast on NBC’s “Today� show.

nation/world briefs South lowest in swine flu shots

ATLANTA (AP) — New England leads the nation in swine flu vaccinations, while the South has the lowest rates, U.S. health officials said Thursday in the first state-by-state report on turnout. Tiny Rhode Island has the highest rate of about 39 percent — three times higher than Mississippi, which has the lowest percentage of residents vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also reported that a record number of health care workers — nearly two-thirds — got seasonal flu vaccines last summer and fall, but the turnout for swine flu shots was much lower, more than a third. The reports offer the first look at how the swine flu vaccination campaign played out around the country. About 72 million to 81 million Americans — about 24 percent — have been vaccinated since October, CDC officials said Thursday.

2 million want to piggyback health care By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer

DETROIT (AP) — Eight suspected members of a Midwest Christian militia charged with conspiring to overthrow the government will have to wait until Friday to learn whether they’ll be released before their trial. U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Donald A. Scheer in Detroit heard arguments for a second day Thursday but says he needs more time to make a decision. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Falvey Jr. says the defendants are a risk to the public and should remain in custody. He described them as people with “dark hearts and evil intents” and said they could regroup if released. In all, nine suspects were arrested after a series of weekend raids.

CHICAGO — Congress voted to overhaul the health care system on a Sunday. On Monday, Patti Lawson e-mailed her employer’s human resources office to ask how soon she could get her 22-year-old daughter back on her health insurance. In about six months, the new law will allow at least 2 million young adults to be covered by their parents’ policies. These are the “millennials,” those who came of age in the new century and now are struggling to get on their feet during the worst slump since the Depression. Many can’t find jobs, and many who are employed don’t have health coverage from their employers. The law will allow young adults to stay on or return to their parents’ insurance until age 26. To qualify, young people must be “dependents” of their parents. They don’t necessarily have to live under the same roof. Lawson, a Gettysburg College administrator in Pennsylvania, said she is hoping to get her daughter back on her health plan because she is tired of playing “a roulette game.” Her daughter has just a temporary job that doesn’t provide insurance. “You’re banking on your child staying well,” said Lawson, who has been a single parent since her husband died of cancer three years ago.

Abortion doc’s death called ‘terrorism’

New fuel guidelines announced

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set tougher gas mileage standards for new cars and trucks Thursday, spurring the next generation of fuel-sipping gas-electric hybrids, efficient engines and electric cars. The heads of the Transportation Department and the Environmental Protection Agency signed final rules setting fuel efficiency standards for model years 20122016, with a goal of achieving by 2016 the equivalent of 35.5 miles per gallon combined for cars and trucks, an increase of nearly 10 mpg over current standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The EPA set a tailpipe emissions standard of 8.75 ounces of carbon dioxide per mile for vehicles sold in 2016, equal to what would be emitted by vehicles meeting the mileage standard.

Judge considers bond for militia

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The murder of one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions was “a gutless act of terror” and was as destructive as “an earthquake” for women seeking such medical services, the doctor’s friend and attorney said Thursday. Attorney Lee Thompson asked District Judge Warren Wilbert to give the harshest possible sentence to antiabortion zealot Scott Roeder, who admitted he gunned down Dr. George Tiller in the back of Tiller’s Wichita church last May because he felt doing so would protect unborn children.

Patti Lawson, right, and her daughter Katie Byrne, 22, are photographed on the campus of Gettysburg College, in Gettysburg, Pa., this week. Byrne is a college grad and no longer covered on her mom’s health plan, and her temporary job doesn’t offer coverage. Regulations still have to be written, but here are some of the crucial specifics of the new law, based on a reading of the measure and interpretation by various experts: —It applies to young adults up to their 26th birthday who don’t have access to insurance through their employer. —There is no dispute the measure applies to young people away at college. It is widely assumed the law also covers other young people living on their own. —It will include married children but not their spouses or their kids. —It is unclear whether parents must wait until their health plan’s next open enrollment period to sign up their uninsured

older children. —Young adults who live in a different state from their parents should check to see if their parents’ health plan covers medical services where they live. This is the first time the federal government has forced insurance companies to let young adults stay on their parents’ policies. More than half the states already have laws that extend the age of dependent coverage. New York and New Jersey push it all the way to age 30 and 31 and would be allowed to keep those provisions. The new federal law “provides a minimum, not a maximum,” said law professor Timothy Jost of Washington and Lee University. Also, while many state laws do not

apply to coverage from self-insured employer plans, the federal law will, experts say. Much will depend on regulations to be written by federal health officials. Among other things, Health and Human Services will have to decide what constitutes “dependent,” and the definition will not necessarily be the same one used by the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes. Also, HHS will have to clear up the issue of whether young people who live far from home can stay on their parents’ plans. Young adults in their 20s are the most likely age group to be uninsured, and nearly 30 percent of them lacked insurance in 2008.

Investigators stand at a site of an explosion in Kizlyar, a town in southern Russian region of Dagestan on Wednesday.

Chechen militant claims Moscow subway blasts MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — A Chechen militant claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks on the Moscow subway in an Internet message posted Wednesday, hours after two more suicide bombers struck southern Russia in brazen defiance of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Doku Umarov, who leads Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia’s North Caucasus, said in a video posted on a pro-rebel Web site that Monday’s twin suicide attacks were revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces. Umarov’s statement appeared after Putin vowed to “drag out of the sewer� the terrorists who plotted the subway bombings, which killed 39 people and wounded scores of commuters during the morning rush hour. Wednesday’s suicide bombings killed 12 people in Dagestan, a volatile southern province east of Chechnya. Putin said they could have been planned by the same group behind the Moscow bombings. “I don’t rule out that this is one and the same gang,� he said at a televised Cabinet meeting. President Dmitry Medvedev later called the attacks “links of the same chain.� The suicide bombings in Moscow were the first in the capital in six years and served as a wake-up call for many Russians, who had come to feel insulated from the violence raging in the country’s predominantly Muslim southern corner.

Umarov blamed ordinary Russians for turning a blind eye to the killing of civilians in the Caucasus by security forces and warned of more attacks. “I promise you that the war will come to your streets and you will feel it in your lives, feel it on your own skin,� Umarov, dressed in fatigues, said in a video posted on kavkazcenter.com, a Web site that rebels use to air their statements. There was no way to substantiate Umarov’s claim, and officials at Russian law enforcement agencies refused to comment on Umarov’s claim. The Russian security chief has previously said the subway bombings were carried out by militants from the Caucasus. Umarov had previously warned that “if Russians think that the war is happening only on television, somewhere far away in the Caucasus where it can’t reach them, then we are going to show them that this war will return to their homes.� The 45-year-old Umarov fought Russian forces in both separatist wars in Chechnya over the last 15 years. He took over the leadership of the rebel movement in 2006 following the killing by Russian forces of Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev. Umarov’s importance further increased that year after Shamil Basayev, the most feared of the rebels, was killed by security forces. Basayev was accused of — or claimed responsibility for — terrorist attacks on Russia during its wars in Chechnya, including the hostage-taking raid on a school in the town of Beslan in 2004.

Kevin Flynn is leading all the contestants so far in the Biggest Loser event. The Sevier County Utility District employee has lost 23 pounds in the last eight weeks.

Competing to be the

Biggest Loser

By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Eight weeks into a weight loss competition that now has four groups trying to slim down together, more than 300 pounds have been shed in the process. The biggest loser at this point is Sevier County Utility District employee Kevin Flynn. The 47-yearold Sevier County native has lost 23 pounds so far, which averages out to be about 9.5 percent drop from his starting weight of 240. About 20 SCUD employees, along with two dozen others spread out among the staffs of TVA Credit Union, Dr. Steve Morton’s dental office and The Mountain Press are working together to lose weight in the 16-week contest. The contest came about at the encouragement of Luke Michaluk of Healthy Balance Meals, a food service that provides low-calorie and low-fat meals. Flynn said he had been thinking about making a concentrated effort to lose weight when the idea for the competition started floating around the SCUD offices. “I wasn’t feeling good and I just turned 47,” he said. A former high school quarterback, Flynn said he’s always been athletic and was still running a couple of times a week. But his love of sweet desserts and sweet tea had caught up with him. He said his weight started rising in his 30s. “When you’re in your 30s your metabolism starts slowing down,” he said. When the idea of the weight loss competition came up, Flynn said he decided to join in. The biggest changes he made to help him lose the weight have been increasing his running schedule and cutting out the sweets. “I’ve always loved to jog,” said Flynn, the father of three and grandfather of a 2-year-old boy. Since he was already running two or three times a week, he decided to increase that to daily. Eight weeks into the program, he said he’s only missed one day of running. “I can get my 30 minutes of exercise and I’m done for the day,” he said. What might have been a bigger challenge was cutting out the sweets. “I’m a sweet-aholic,” he said. “Anything that’s got sugar in it.” He was especially susceptible to sweet tea. “I could drink two or three glasses

all the time,” Flynn said. Now he’s switched to unsweet tea doctored with artificial sweeteners, and sugar-free desserts when he has them. The incentives for weekly and the big prize for their office, as well as the incentive of see the good side of 200, factored into Flynn choosing to participate in the contest. He said he’s won at least two of the weekly prizes awarded to the biggest losers in the SCUD offices, taking home an extra $10 each time. But he didn’t splurge with the extra money and head for the bakery or the candy counter. “That’s where it can get tough,” he said. What’s good, he said, is that he feels better every day, he’s losing the extra weight around his waist and his clothes are getting bigger. “I feel a lot better,” he said.

Group effort

As a group, the women in Dr. Steve Morton’s dental office are at the head of the pack, but just slightly. They’ve lost more than 60 pounds for a total percentage of 4.53 percent, leading SCUD by almost a quarter of a percentage point. Cindy Morton said the women in the weight loss group are encouraging each other. “What we are really trying to do is kind of keep each other honest,” she said. “We are just encouraging everybody because you kind of get to a slumping point. I wish I had a magic wand but I haven’t been able to find one, so all we can do is diet and exercise.” With the advance of warmer weather, Morton believes that will help the women be even more active and even be in a better frame of mind. “It definitely helps the spirit as well,” she said of the sunshine. With a winter filled with more than its fair share of cold and wet days, Morton said they’ve all fallen back on their Wii Fit games to help them

meet their goals. “Everybody has them at home, so we are using those,” she said. “They’re wonderful things and a whole lot less expensive than the gym.” Her favorite Wii Fit activity are the yoga and step aerobics. “Yoga keeps you limber and the step keeps your heart rate up,” she said. One of the girls she said loves the Hula Hoop game. “I can’t do that, and she even gave me the hula hoop,” Morton said. The 16-week biggest loser event will end around May 10. Anyone who would like information on starting their own biggest loser event in their workplace or group, can contact Michaluk at 286-5934. n gcrutchfield@themountainpress.com

Interestingly, as I have engaged in conversations recently with leaders of three different companies about loyalty and disloyalty among employees, a survey came my way reporting the number of employees causing negative drains on their companies outweighs those who are working diligently to support their companies. The Walker Information Loyalty Report indicates 34 percent of employees are truly loyal. It also indicates 36 percent of employees are in the high-risk category, meaning they can cause serious damage to the companies for whom they work. According to Chris Woolard, senior consultant with Walker Information, “In their efforts to win customers and achieve success, the last thing American businesses need to worry about in today’s competitive marketplace is whether employees are playing for the home team.� This parallels the philosophy I have advocated for many years: More games are lost than won. More teams beat themselves than are defeated by other teams. More families and organizations are destroyed by forces from within than by forces from without. To assess the true value of employee loyalty, Woolard says it is important to look at how loyalty affects companies day-to-day. For example, 81 percent of loyal employees are likely to execute a company’s business strategy in daily work, while just 39 percent of disloyal employees indicated they will do the same. Ninety-two

The third annual Mountain Man Memorial March, a 26.2-mile march in the Smoky Mountains, will be April 17 in Gatlinburg.

Gatlinburg readies for annual Mountain Man Memorial March

GATLINBURG — Darlene Neptune will be featured speaker at the Garlands of Grace spring luncheon May 1 at Chalet Clubhouse, Ski Mountain Road in Gatlinburg. Neptune is a concert artist who dramatizes of the life of Fanny Crosby. She dresses in costume, including dark glasses, interspersing her stories behind the writings of familiar songs and hymns. Most people, when they sing “Blessed Assurance,” think of it as just Neptune another song, but to get to know the person who wrote the song and how it came to be written brings a new light to them. Neptune draws the audience into deeper understanding and appreciation of the spiritual message of the hymns. Crosby was an American lyricist best known for her Christian hymns. She wrote more than 8,000 songs despite being blind since infancy. Also known for her preaching and speaking, during her lifetime Crosby met with presidents, generals and other dignitaries. The cost of the luncheon is $25 in advance. Seating is limited. Call 436-5745 by April 24.

Submitted Report GATLINBURG — The third annual Mountain Man Memorial March, a 26.2-mile hike in the Smoky Mountains, will be April 17 — a tribute to those in uniform. The event honors 1st Lt. Frank Walkup, a University of Tennessee alumnus who was killed in the line of duty in Iraq in 2007. The march begins at 9 a.m. in downtown Gatlinburg and proceeds up Highway 321 to Pittman Center. The course includes stretches of highway and rural road in addition to rugged terrain and mountain slopes. Entry is open in three categories: Military Heavy, Military Light and Civilian. Entrants may also register for half- or quarter-marathon distances as well. Inspired by the annual Bataan Memorial Death March staged in White Sands, N.M., the concept has evolved into a tribute to all service members. The UT Army ROTC conceived this event in Gatlinburg, and members walk in their boots. The motto of the event: “Support the Future, Honor the Past.” Late registration will be held at the Gatlinburg Inn from 1-7 p.m. April 16. The marathon march starts in front of Hard Rock Café, with the opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m. and start time at 9. For registration, entry fee, course, entry category, safety and more information, visit www.mountainmanmemorialmarch.com. Festivities will begin on April 16 at 7 p.m. with a ceremony honoring East Tennessee Gold Star Mothers, held at Ripley’s Aquarium plaza. American

Advice

Woman growing tire of waiting for married boyfriend to get divorce

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am 33 and have a 16-year-old daughter. I’m currently in a loving relationship with a 44-year-old man. I adore him with all my heart. He treats me well and shows me lots of affection. “Al” is a great father to his four kids, but my problem is that he is still legally married. Al knew when we started dating that I wanted to settle down. Every time I bring up his pending divorce, he talks about how it’s “not that simple” and “takes time.” He goes on to say that his wife wants every last dime and he’s not going to let her take everything he worked so hard for. I don’t know if he’s holding on to the past, or if he’s mad that she left him to be with another man and thinks the other guy should take care of her now. He tells me he wants to be with me and that there is no way he would ever get back together with her. What should I do? — New York Dear New York: This is actually your decision — how long are you willing to wait? Do you want to be with Al even if the divorce takes 10 years? Either Al is harboring mixed feelings about his wife, or he is too wrapped up in the money to put you first. That type of battle can take years to resolve, and in the meantime, there is tremendous acrimony on all sides, which is terrible for the kids. If Al truly wants to marry you, he will find a way to push the divorce through, even if it costs him more money than he would like. Otherwise, please get out of this mess. Dear Annie: Please

allow me to address two growing problems: morbidly obese people in clothing that does not fit and adults who do not bathe. I was at a restaurant recently, and a hugely fat man walked in. He wore a T-shirt that barely covered his massive chest and left his giant stomach (which hung to his knees) exposed. From the back, you could see a nice portion of his rear end. Needless to say, I lost my appetite. You could feel a rumble of shock and disgust go through the other patrons, as well. The next week, two men came into the same restaurant. They looked OK until I got within three feet and was nearly knocked over by the rancid sweat stink. These were men in their 50s. It’s hard for me to believe they couldn’t smell themselves. Their stench permeated the whole room for the duration of their meal. What has happened to the simple rules of behavior? If you are so fat that your clothes don’t fit, get a bigger size or have them custom made. If you smell so bad that you’d choke a pig, take a bath. Please don’t tell me to find another restaurant. This one is convenient, and the food is good. Instead, would you print this so people who sleep, work out and dine in the

same clothing will see themselves? — Grossed Out in the Silver State Dear Silver State: Everyone, even if they think they smell like daisies, should take a shower after working out. Otherwise, stay home. There is no excuse for assuming others will not notice or care. There are, however, people with body odor problems that are physiological in origin and difficult to treat. They do the best they can and shouldn’t be lumped in with people who practice poor hygiene. As for those who wear ill-fitting clothes that unintentionally expose body parts, we hope your letter will wake them up. It’s not pretty. Dear Readers: We are carrying on Ann Landers’ tradition that April 2 be set aside as Reconciliation Day, a time to make the first move toward mending broken relationships. It also would be the day on which we agree to accept the olive branch extended by a former friend or estranged family member and do our best to start over.
