We don’t have a lot of leaks, but it does happen.” Beyond that, several days were lost when issues arose with the operation of the life support system, the equipment that ensures the structure is just right for its black-and-

Karen King, Sevier County Schools director of finance, said Wednesday that the 2010-2011 School Budget is expected to be presented in May. “I’m in my fourth month of working on the budget,” King said. “We’ve been making sure everyone has their expenditures in order. We’re constantly changing; we’re growing and moving folks around.” The school system is halfway through receiving funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, she added (it began in July and will end in Sept. 2011). It has also received estimated numbers from the recently awarded Race to the Top program, although many more details are to come. “It’s been a difficult three months because of the weather — it has drastically affected the sales tax. I-40 being closed also had a tremendous impact on tourism, and we’re facing a downward trend in revenue.”

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies employees Megan Klose, left, and Mike Kastura work in the area they’re calling Pebble Beach, complete with cubby holes for penguins to nest in. At bottom, other employees work in the under water tunnel visitors can climb through to get a unique view of the creatures.

Ripley’s makes final preps for penguins By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — Work on a custom-designed home for Gatlinburg’s newest residents is progressing quickly and move-in day is likely just a week or two away. Contractors and animal specialists are putting the final touches on the enclosure that will house a flock of African penguins, who are set to move in next week. After a short time to acclimate the animals to their new habitat, visitors to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies will get their first look at the tux-

edoed birds. While Ripley’s General Manager Ryan DeSear says he’s not sure yet exactly when the doors will open for the public to get its first glimpse at the long-awaited addition, he vows it will come no later than April 16. “There are a lot of variables with this type of thing,” DeSear explains. “We’re really, really close, but when it comes to animals, you never know.” Certainly the effort to change the former Veranda Restaurant area into a climate-controlled habitat with a 35,000 gallon saltwater tank has proven that. The project has

Nantahala Outdoor Center opens in ’Burg By STAN VOIT Editor GATLINBURG — This city’s largest retailer has opened, offering guided hikes and fishing trips, a massive retail department and a climbing wall built into the elevator. Nantahala Outdoor Center Inc., based in Bryson City, held its grand opening Friday in a newly remodeled building at the edge of the national park. “This is all I hoped it would be,” CEO Sutton Bacon said during an invitation-only Thursday night reception. It took a year to remodel the old Open Hearth Restaurant, once a Gatlinburg institution but which sat empty for some six years. With local partners David Ogle, Jim Ogle and Dan Greengold, Nantahala Outdoor Center pumped millions into a makeover of the building. SmartBank handled the financing. “It has exceeded expectations,” Bacon said. “We have created a memorable destination and retail attraction. We will help

quite an amazing team,” she said. “It’s a love of the outdoors that unites us.” Among those on hand for the grand opening was Wayne Dickert, an NOC employee and 1996 Olympic whitewater paddler. He finished 11th in the Atlanta games. Dickert designed most of the kayaks for sale in the store. To celebrate the grand opening, Bacon presented a $5,000 check from NOC to Friends of the Smokies. The three-story building includes a lot of retail space, where all manner of outdoor clothing and supplies are sold. There is a place to book excursions and guided tours, a climbing wall, and showers for those completing long hikes or bike trips. Nantahala Outdoor Center Inc. is one of the nation’s largest outdoor recreation companies, with more than 500,000 Stan Voit/The Mountain Press customers a year, a selecSutton Bacon, CEO of Nantahala Outdoor Center, presents a $5,000 check to Friends of the tion of some 80 river Smokies at the opening of the Gatlinburg store.

New zip line approved by commission By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — The county’s next zip line attraction will be visible from the Parkway. Adventure Ziplines will be located off the Parkway between Ogle Lane and New Era Road, into the area behind Five Oaks Convention Center and beside Damon’s restaurant. A horseback riding stable in the same area will remain open, but the new attraction will add towers that will be connected by the zip lines.

The county has several zip line attractions, including one in Dollywood, but this will be the first that can be seen from the county’s main thoroughfare. “Apparently, these are pretty popular around the country now,” Planning director Jim Bryant said. Alderman Jerry Loveday, who also sits on the planning commission, asked whether the city had any regulations for attractions like the zip lines. Bryant said most of those regulations are handled by the state, as it is considered an amusement attraction.

The city does require the business to have liability insurance, and the state will inspect it at least once a year, he said. A representative of the business said they plan to seek certification from a national organization that would also inspect the attraction several times a year. The planning commission approved the plan during its regular meeting Thursday evening. In other action, the commission: n Approved a site plan for Lil’ Kings & Queens Child

Additionally, the water must be kept at a consistent 59 degrees. “And these are warmwater penguins,� DeSear jokes. As all the work, which also includes renovating part of what was the rotating exhibit area into a banquet hall, progresses, the 25 penguins that will fill the enclosure when it opens are being held by the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. A capacity crowd of 36 animals may eventually be assembled from the stock of zoos and aquariums throughout the country, DeSear says. “Everybody is excited to get the animals in here,� Ripley’s Senior Aquarist Mike Kastura says. “There is plenty of interest among the staff.� That may be true, but it seems likely the public,

Aquarium staff will allow visitors to pet, feed and even make art with the animals. “They’ll be able to dip their feet in paint and, as the penguins walk, they’ll be painting,� DeSear says. “It’s going to be a great experience.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

The animals have been a huge hit at other attractions across the country and, with a host of special touches to enhance the experience, it seems likely the local penguin habitat will continue that trend. Visitors to Penguin Playhouse will have the opportunity to crawl through acrylic tunnels as penguins swim and dive around them, while viewing areas will allow the adventurous to pop up in the middle of the enclosure and get a closeup look at the animal.

Nun from New York makes Appalachia her life’s work EAGAN, Tenn. (AP) — Marie Cirillo came to Appalachia 43 years ago to help educate locals and give them job skills after deciding she couldn’t do it as a Catholic nun in the Midwest. The 80-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., native remains a community developer here three generations later, having influenced natives as well as a president’s daughter. “I saw (helping locals) as a new ministry for churches, particularly in Appalachia,” she said. She’s not a lay leader or feminine theologian for any church. The former Sister Marie of Fatima of the Glenmary Sisters, who gets a retirement check from the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, does her work for the people of Appalachia because she loves them. In the Clearfork Valley area that has about 3,300 residents, she has poured time and spirit into projects that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. And it’s appreciated by those who have worked with her, either as summer volunteers or local residents. “She’s a saint,” said Caroline Kennedy, who came here the summer of 1973 after her sophomore year of high school, working on a video project on the coal mining community and what it meant to the local people. “She’s engaged in the world and the community. She has had an incredible career over time. She remains committed and is a tremendous inspiration,” Kennedy said in an phone interview Feb. 23 from her New York City office. The daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was 15 1/2 years old when she lived with

The short, salt-and-pepper-haired woman constantly smiles and exudes energy - a trait she’s always had in the mountains of East Tennessee, say longtime friends. She doesn’t really like talking about herself or her years here. She calls herself a community developer because she believes that Appalachians living in a distressed place have a strong and lasting sense of community and focus their lives not on individual initiatives but on group actions. Cirillo likes to focus on what she sees as continued needs: completing the Community Institute out of which she operates as a volunteer; helping the community focus on forest land and determine what timber and non-timber products can be created in AP Photo/Amy Smotherman Burgess, Knoxville News Sentinel a sustainable way; getting Marie Cirillo walks through an old part of the Blue Diamond Coal Camp in Eagan, Tenn.

Judge in Palin case upholds warrants By BILL POOVEY Associated Press Writer CHATTANOOGA— A federal magistrate dealt the man charged with hacking Sarah Palin’s e-mail another pre-trial setback Friday by refusing to dismiss search warrants for Internet provider records. U.S. Magistrate Clifford Shirley Jr. in a decision Friday denied the motion filed on behalf of David C. Kernell, 22, whose father is a Democratic state legislator from Memphis. Defense attorney Wade Davies and the chief prosecutor in the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle, did not answer telephone

messages seeking comment. Authorities say Kernell was a University of Tennessee student who gained access to the former Alaska governor’s personal Yahoo e-mail account when she was running mate to Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Kernell is free on bond, charged with computer fraud, unlawful electronic transmission of material outside Tennessee and intentionally accessing Palin’s e-mail account without authorization. His trial is set for April 20 in Knoxville. Davies contended that the magistrate overstepped his authority by issuing warrants beyond the East Tennessee federal court district.

Yahoo is located in Sunnyvale, Calif. Prosecutors said the warrants were proper under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Shirley said in the decision that in 2001 a change in federal law granted such authority to a “court with jurisdiction over the offense under investigation.” “This revised language was in effect at the time the warrants in this matter were issued,” the judge’s ruling said. The judge last week ruled on a separate motion that the government could charge Kernell with trying to obstruct the investigation before it even began.

commentary

Three Cheers National recognition goes to a pair of GP students

Catholic theology embraced Over the years, I have occasionally written about being a practicing Roman Catholic, a fact that sometimes leads to incredulous statements like “ You go to church?” Somehow, I don’t believe the question is a compliment. This is a tough Holy Week for Catholics, as once again the terrible specter of child molestation is in the air. Driven by a series of articles by The New York Times, the Church now faces questions about whether Pope Benedict XVI ignored some past abuse cases when he was a Cardinal. The evidence is scant but nevertheless damning because of the previous priest-pedophilia scandals. A number of Catholics have left the church because of the priestly sins, but not me. From the beginning, in Sister Claudia’s first-grade class, I understood that the Catholic Church was about Jesus, not Father Flannery. Believe me, I saw so many loons in my Catholic school days that I should be a Buddhist. But it is the theology, not the church leadership, that keeps me in the fold. You may remember that I was a driving force in bringing down the villainous Cardinal Law in Boston, a man who allowed child-molesting priests to run wild. When Law was forced to resign, I was happy. But then the late Pope John Paul II gave him a cushy job in Rome, where Law remains today. If it were up to me, the cardinal would be in prison. Even though I respected Pope John Paul’s holiness, I was deeply disappointed that he did not meet with molestation victims when he visited the United States in 1999. He should have done that simply to show devastated American Catholics, and the victims themselves, that he cared and understood their pain. When I publicly criticized him for avoiding the issue, the Catholic League scorched me. And that’s fine. They are entitled to their opinion. Throughout it all, however, I stayed with the church. If you cut through all the bull, the doctrines of treating others as you want to be treated, forgiveness and redemption, and charity for all stand the test of time. Even if the atheists are right and there is no God, the philosophy of Jesus is full-force positive. Live the way he lived, and the world will be a better place. The actions of others must be considered, of course. But I like this analogy: We’ve had some pretty bad leaders in America, right? Do they make you want to renounce your citizenship? The United States is not the people who lead it. It is all of us. Same thing with the Catholic Church. It’s not corrupt priests or apathetic leaders in Rome. It’s Jesus and his followers, the folks who sit in the pews on Sunday. And that’s good enough for me. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You? Distributed by Creators Syndicate. (C)2009 Bill O’Reilly.

Gatlinburg, the town that bills itself as “the Gateway to the Smokies,” is no stranger to the national spotlight. After all, millions of tourists pass through annually and it is known for its shops, arts and crafts and as a snow skiing resort. Now, two high school seniors at GatlinburgPittman have earned a moment in the sun with some national recognition. Jonah C. Pullium and Kristian A. Maples have been chosen Beta Scholars by the National Beta Club, only two of 217 seniors nationwide to be chosen. Pullium, a top-five finalist, will receive a $4,000 scholarship, while Maples has earned a $1,000 scholarship. Maples has already decided to attend the University of Tennessee, while Pullium is still weighing his options. Faculty and staff at GP praised the students for their work in the classroom and in showing leadership and service to the school and the community. Their achievements have been noted nationally; they should be noted locally as well.

Kiwanians put on sweet fundraiser for area youth

There was an event held Thursday afternoon in Sevierville that even the most jaded of cynics couldn’t help but getting all syrupy about. When a fundraiser is held to help out several youth organizations in Sevier County, it’s got to melt your heart like warm butter. In fact, syrup and warm butter were ever-present at Flapjacks as the Sevierville Kiwanis Club held its annual Spring Pancake Supper. Benefiting were the Boys & Girls Club, Wears Valley Ranch and the Kiwanis Club scholarship fund. Employees of the Collier Restaurant Group did the cooking and Boys & Girls Club members did the serving. The cost and the atmosphere were both light. For only $5, attendees received a plateful of pancakes and either bacon or sausage, and the crowd was occasionally serenaded by musically inclined members. If you missed Thursday’s event, don’t worry — there’s one just like it held each fall. For good food and good cause, be looking for it.

Polar Bears make a splash for United Way of Sevier

Only a handful of people showed up, but a few miles away another group was literally getting into the swim to help a good cause at the Pigeon Forge Community Center. The temperatures were in the 70s and it was April instead of it being January with temps in the 20s, but the event was still billed as the Polar Bear Plunge. (Maybe it was too warm for some.) United Way of Sevier County was the recipient of the money being raised by the Polar Bears. This was a plunge definitely worth taking because after not reaching its $1 million goal for 2008, United Way lowered its goal to $500,000 last year — and still came up about $100,000 short. UW provides much-needed funding to 24 service agencies throughout the county. Organizers used catchy slogans like “Be an April fool in our pool.” It was not immediately known how much of a splash the polar bears made, but even a trickle of money is welcomed.

SCHS scores late to top PF

PREP SOCCER

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

Sevier County senior Thomas Garreau wins the race to the ball and keeps it moving in the Bears’ direction Friday morning at county rival Pigeon Forge Tigers.

PIGEON FORGE — It was a physical battle for 80 full minutes, but in the end the Sevier County High School Smoky Bears soccer squad came out 2-1 victors in Good Friday’s in-school morning match at county rival Pigeon Forge Tigers, who suffered their first defeat of the season. The Smoky Bears (6-2) entered Friday’s game looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance in a 5-2 loss at district rival Morristown West on Tuesday. SCHS coach Bryan Atchley said his team, many of whom sported fresh Mohawk hairdos for Friday’s game against the Tigers, may have been a little distracted in the loss at West. “A lot of the problems we had at Morristown West were leading into this game against Pigeon Forge,” said Atchley. “These guys have been talking about the Mohawks, and they were really excited about the Pigeon Forge game. “I think we lost a little focus for West. That was a big loss because it was a

district game, but this (win against Pigeon Forge) sweetens the pot a little.” But nothing came easy for the Bears, who trailed 1-0 at intermission against a Pigeon Forge team (6-1) that seemed to have a small edge in ball control throughout the match. “Pigeon Forge has a quality team right there,” said Atchley. “They are going to give some people some problems later in the season during tournament time.” The Orange-and-Black home team felt as though they’d let one slip away against the Bears. “It was a battle,” said Pigeon Forge coach Bill Moseley. “But (the Bears) came out on top. “We’ve got to learn to finish. We outshot them. We had the game. We’ve just got to learn to finish.” Moseley also said he didn’t want to take anything away from the SCHS performance. “You’ve got to give them credit,” said Moseley. “They never quit. They never gave up and the never stopped playing.” Although the action on field was at times heated and physical between the

two sides, Moseley said he thanks the few hundred people who turned out for the 10 a.m. rivalry match for their conduct in the stands. “I’d like to congratulate the kids and the families who were here,” said Moseley. “They controlled themselves well, and there weren’t any problems. “I think rivalry games are good for the county as long as things stay under control, and here’s a shout out for the county and thanks for the turnout and good behavior.” The Tigers got on the board first with a goal near the midway point of the first half. Pigeon Forge came with a hard-charging group attack, and Miguel Coello finished off the play with a goal off an Oscar Martinez assist. The Smoky Bears knotted the affair at 1s near 10 minutes into the second half, when sophomore Erick Flores converted a direct kick for a score after the Pigeon Forge goal keeper was called for using his hands outside of the goal box. SCHS Thomas Garreau was credited with the game winner when he snuck one by with less than five minutes remaining.

Tigers rebound with 8-2 win over visiting Ky. squad By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers hardballers bounced back from Thursday’s loss at Smokies Park with an 8-2 win over visiting Highlands High of Kentucky on Friday morning. “We came out and pitched well and played really good defense, and we had a little more timely hitting,” said Pigeon Forge coach Mike Guinn. “But we’re still losing our plate discipline at times, and that’s why we’re not always as efficient as we should be. “We’re still passing some good scoring opportunities, because our plate discipline is not where it needs to be yet. “We’ve just got to keep working.” Pigeon Forge senior Justin Carter picked up the win in the start, going 3-2/3 innings and allowing two runs on three hits with nine Ks and no walks. Carter looked sharp early, striking out the side in the first and third innings along with two more Ks in the top of the second. But with the Tigers (10-2) holding a 5-0 edge entering the top of the fourth, Carter suddenly found himself in a little trouble. Highlands High led off the inning with a backto-back single and RBI double to get on the scoreboard, 5-1. With a runner on second, Carter picked up his ninth strikeout of the day. But the Highlands High runner advanced to third on the play, because the third strike was dropped and a play had to be made at first base to pick up the first out of the inning. Highlands High cut the Pigeon Forge edge to 5-2 on the ensuing pitch by successfully executing a surprise suicide squeeze play to pick up the run. Guinn had seen enough and went to freshman reliever Wil Crowe, who promptly closed the top of the fourth with a sixpitch strikeout, the first of five for Crowe.

Tigers senior pitcher Justin Carter gets some serious follow through on his motion Friday morning against visiting Highland High of Kentucky. Crowe finished the final 3-1/3 innings, allowing no runs, no hits and no walks in another strong showing from the mound. Crowe also helped his pitching effort with a 2-for-4 night at the plate, totaling two RBIs. Pigeon Forge freshman Drake Byrd went 1-for-3, also with two RBIs and a run scored. Tigers senior Bret Gallihugh was 1-for-2 with two runs and two walks, and Carter went 1-for-3 with two runs, a stolen base and a walk to his credit. Pigeon Forge next hosts Fulton on Monday. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Highlanders sweep double-header with A-E By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor GATLINBURG — The G-P Highlanders had a bit of a split personality Friday night at Fischer Field. In a doubleheader against district rival Austin-East the Highlanders won a squeaker 8-7 in the first contest, and then turned around and crushed the Roadrunners by a 17-2 score. In the first game of the evening the Highlanders (4-6, 2-3 in district) jumped out to a big 7-1 lead, thanks in part to a huge homer from Ryan Myers, but A-E came storming back in the top of the fourth to tie the score. The huge inning was a result of three bases on balls, a tough wild pitch and a Roadrunner home run from Mark Nolan. In the bottom of the inning the Highlanders got all they needed to stem the tide and pull out the walk-off win. Drew Barton reached second base on an infield error, making it all the way to second base on a throw into G-P’s dugout to lead off the inning. One batter later Myers delivered again, this time with an RBI-triple to right field, ending the game with an 8-7 Highlander win. “Myers had a great day, he hit his second homer of the year, that triple and he’s hitting over .500. And 60-percent of hits are extra-base hits,” coach Henry LaFollette said. G-P pitcher Daniel Roberts, who came in to pitch the last inning in relief of Drew Barton, picked up the win for the Highlanders. The second battle between the two teams was nowhere near as close. After a 1-2-3 first inning for A-E with Roberts back on the mound, G-P opened the game with a huge 11-run first inning. After Bilbrey and Michael Lowery set the table to start the inning, Barton drilled a

Bilbrey and Lowery added back-to-back two-run singles later in the inning, and Roberts capped off the scoring with a two-run double to make it 11-0. The Highlanders added two more in the third on a two-run single from Noah Fortney.

PROFESSIONAL GOLF

Tiger’s remaining sponsors plot out his return By EMILY FREDRIX AP Marketing Writer NEW YORK — Sponsors who stuck by Tiger Woods are ramping up to profit from his return to the golf course. Upper Deck Co. will sell memorabilia like signed red shirts with price tags upward of $1,800. Electronic Arts Inc. has a new browser-based version of its Tiger-themed video game coming out next week. And Nike Inc. reportedly has a TV commercial featuring Woods in the works, though it won’t confirm that. The big question is whether his tarnished image can work anything close to its old magic for them and the golf industry, which has been going through tough times of its own because of the weak economy. It could be that all publicity is good publicity — as time passes since his admissions to extramarital affairs and he returns to golf after four months at the Masters, starting next Thursday. Woods’ value as a pitchman who embodied professional perfection may have suffered. He became sports’ first $1 billion earner, but lost top endorsements from companies such as Accenture LLP and AT&T Inc. as the scandal unfolded. But it’s hard to see much falloff in sales of some Woods-branded wares. Golfsmith, the nation’s biggest chain of golf stores, and sports card and memorabilia maker Upper Deck Co. say Woods’ scandal that erupted in late November didn’t dampen demand for his products. Golfsmith International Holdings Inc. says sales of Woods-branded hats, shirts and belts (all made by Nike) grew 8 percent from October through

Tiger Woods

mid-March this year compared with last year. Most of that period came after word spread that the quiet, clean-cut golfer had a sex addiction and partook in serial infidelities. The company sold 9,564 Woods-branded hats, belts, shirts and other products made by Nike from October through mid-March, compared with 8,855 in the same period the previous year. Woods’ leave from golf will end in about a week at the Masters, the season’s first major tournament. It’s about time for an industry that has seen its retail sales drop as its main participants trim their tee times and spending habits in the recession. “The tour wants him back. The players want him back. His endorsers want him back and like anybody with an economic interest in him, we want him back,� said Golfsmith CEO Marty Hanaka. Tiger has been good for golf. He’s brought more interest to the game from even casual players, and

boosted television ratings and sponsorships — which has translated into higher payouts for Woods and his fellow golfers. In 1995, the year before Woods turned pro, the Masters’ total prize payout was $2.1 million. Last year, it reached $7.5 million. The sport is in need of a boost again. The industry has seen an unprecedented slump because of the weak economy and unseasonably wet weather, which also depresses playing, said Tom Stine, co-founder of Golf Datatech LLC, a market research firm. Total revenue for the golf industry was $2.4 billion last year, down 11.6 percent from $2.8

billion in 2008, the firm said. People are delaying equipment purchases but they’re still playing golf, said Stine, who expected minimal effect from Woods’ return. EA is releasing the browser version of “Tiger Woods PGA Tour� on Tuesday. The timing is good, though coincidental: the video game maker announced the launch date a day before Woods announced his return and now figures his return will just add exposure for its sites for the game and its Woods franchise. “Sometimes you just get lucky,� said Craig Evans, marketing director of the game, who added visits to the company’s Woods sites have risen “significantly� since Woods said he’d return. Former sponsors Accenture, AT&T and others who dropped Woods after his personal problems became public late last year have declined to say if they’ll make any changes once he returns. Accenture merely referred to its December news release that announced it would drop Woods. Experts say it will likely be at least a year before any major new companies sign Woods. Companies that distanced themselves from him, like Procter & Gamble Co.’s Gillette unit, haven’t announced plans to feature him in advertisements again, either. Spokesman Damon Jones

%- ,75&#0# QCNB ; $0## %.1

said Gillette has no plans to use Woods “for the foreseeable future.� Those who deal in razor blades and consulting services might be ambivalent, but the golf world undoubtedly wants him back. “That’s just going to give golf this momentum that’s just going to send it into a whirlwind of a season, which will be huge for them,� said Marshal Cohen, chief analyst for market research firm NPD. Golfsmith’s Hanaka said he’s bracing for a surge in interest if Woods wins the Masters. “You can see after he wins a major event, our stores are like the Saturday before Christmas,� he said. Upper Deck, which has had Woods as its golf spokesman and autograph signer since 2001, said there was no noticeable uptick or downturn in demand for Woods memorabilia. The company has new items it will sell no matter how Woods does at the Masters, includ-

Nike declined to comment on reports by celebrity gossip site TMZ.com that the company has already filmed a new commercial featuring Woods, the face of its golfing line. So did Wieden & Kennedy, an advertising firm that frequently works with Nike. Woods has always brought viewers in droves. But his return, broadcast on CBS and ESPN, is likely to be off the charts. In 1997, Woods’ first Masters win, Nielsen estimates 14.1 percent of all households tuned in, still the mostwatched golf telecast since at least 1977. But if Woods makes it past Thursday and Friday’s rounds into the weekend, it’s likely those ratings will shatter that record, said Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports and now a consultant with Pilson Communications.

Butler’s Final Four run gives Indiana new favorite By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Butler finally has the Indiana spotlight all to itself. With the Hoosiers missing the NCAA tournament again, Notre Dame eliminated in the first round and Purdue ousted in the regional semifinals, the state’s rabid basketball fans have rallied around the one team still playing. “It’s very satisfying because Butler did not and had not gotten the publicity

that they deserved,� The Bulldogs’ says Bobby Plump, surprising Final the former Bulldogs four run has capstar better known tured the imaginafor his 1954 gametion of a state rich winning shot that in basketball tradiwon the Indiana tion, winning constate championship verts with an oldand inspired the school style that Butler coach “Hoosiers� movie. still plays well in Brad Stevens “When you’re Indiana. in the state with Butler takes Indiana, Purdue, Notre pride in its passing.

By put-

ting together a roster that has two-thirds of its players from within a 125-mile drive from campus, fans from all corners of Indiana can find somebody to root for. From small towns like Connersville to Yorktown to bigger cities like Indy and Bloomington, blue Butler shirts are popping up everywhere. Even Indiana fans are joining the bandwagon. “Today everyone in Indianapolis is a Butler Bulldog,� Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard — an Indiana graduate — declared

at a raucous pep rally this week that was more like an event for the NFL’s Colts. At Victory Field, home of Indy’s minor-league baseball team, the words “Go Dawgs� have been scripted into the stands. At the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle, home of two Butler players and an assistant coach, growing crowds are asking more questions about Butler basketball. “This is a tremendous basketball state and you remember all the years IU got to the Final Four, it captivated the state,� said Indiana football coach Bill Lynch, a Butler Hall of Famer. “I’m sure it would be the same way if Purdue

got there, too. I remember when Indiana State went, that kind of came out of nowhere.� The Sycamores’ moment in the spotlight faded quickly after Larry Bird went on to the NBA while the Hoosiers used their success to maintain a firm grip on the state’s No. 1 program for decades. Until this week the Hoosiers were the only Indiana school to reach the Final Four since 1981. Cindy Burzk and her husband, Jim, met at Indiana University and have been Hoosiers fans for more than four decades. On Saturday, they’ll be Bulldogs fans. “Since IU’s not here, we’re rooting for Butler,� Burzk said.

MSU’s Duke players live with being a target $ Morgan 150 Off Your coming First Months Rent Expires April 30, 2010 around By CLIFF BRUNT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — By the most significant measures — points, rebounds and postseason wins — Raymar Morgan is one of the best players in Michigan State history. He’s never been quite good enough in Tom Izzo’s eyes. The talented 6-foot-8 forward has been up and down the past two years, leaving Izzo to think long and hard before summarizing the career of his senior captain. “Incredibly successful, and yet, leaves you wanting a little bit more,� Izzo said carefully Thursday after looking skyward to choose his words. “He’s like that piece of apple pie your grandmother makes. You crave a little bit more all the time.� The coach takes some of the blame for this, since he asks Morgan to do a little bit of everything. And lately, he has. Morgan has been red hot and played a key role in helping the Spartans fight their way into the national semifinals Saturday night against Butler. In his past eight games, he is averaging 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds while shooting 55 percent from the field. The Spartans are 7-1 during that stretch. He started the run with a 16-point, 11-rebound effort in a 53-44 win at then-No. 3 Purdue on Feb. 28. “I just found a rhythm and I wanted to stay aggressive,� Morgan said. “I found my whole mentality. I think it’s worked ever since the Purdue game.� He’s since had numerous big games. He had 22 points and 10 rebounds against Michigan in the regular-season finale, then 23 points in a Big Ten tournament loss to Minnesota. He had 17 points and nine rebounds in the second round of the NCAA tournament against Maryland, and 13 points and 10 rebounds in the regional finals against Tennessee.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jon Scheyer used to hate the Duke Blue Devils. Now he plays for them. “Rooting against Duke is out of respect of how they win all the time and how good they were,� Scheyer said of his junior-high flirtation with another school. Then he added with a grin: “I found my way.� If only it was always that simple to convert the haters for a senior class that never really grew comfortable with the program’s position as

one of the villains of college basketball. But as badly as these Blue Devils want to be embraced, they understand they’ll always be the team so many fans love to hate. In a Final Four field full of teams that weren’t supposed to be here, one program that’s seemingly always here threatens to overshadow them: The big, bad Blue Devils (33-5) are in the national semifinals for the 11th time under coach Mike Krzyzewski and are preparing to face West Virginia (31-6) on Saturday night. “There are a number

By JOHN MARSHALL AP Basketball Writer INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo is friendly, yet fiercely competitive. Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski is efficient and professional. Butler’s Brad Stevens is young and enthusiastic. So what about West Virginia’s Bob Huggins? Depends on who you ask. To some, he’s bombastic, others a lovable Huggy Bear. He’s been called a great recruiter and a cheater. He can seem bored answering questions one minute, affable and joking the next. He produces NBA players, though few graduates. He’s magna-cum-laude smart, but occasionally has lapses in judgment. Of all the coaches at the Final Four, Huggins is the enigma. A winner everywhere he’s been, but tough to figure out for those who don’t know him. “People don’t see the charismatic, joking, laugh-

ing side. I wouldn’t call it a smile; It’s more of a grin for him,� West Virginia forward Kevin Jones said Thursday, two days before the Mountaineers face Duke in the Final Four. “They don’t see that outside the cameras. They just see him yelling at us all the time.� Huggins’ journey has the earmarks of a redemption story: Coach builds winning program, survives heart attack, gets fired, returns to his alma mater and leads it to the Final Four for the first time in 51 years. But this odyssey has nothing to do with atonement or recovery for Huggins. Loved or hated, Huggins is going to be consistently inconsistent, the nonconformist in a black windbreaker who does things his way — whether people like it or not. “The people who know me know what I’m about,� Huggins said. Huggins’ trip started where it has ended, in Morgantown, W.Va. He

was born in the town along the Monongahela River, was a two-time Academic All-American as a player at West Virginia and got his start in coaching with the Mountaineers, as a graduate assistant in 1977. But Cincinnati was where Huggins made his name — good and bad. He led the Bearcats to the 1992 Final Four in his third season, 13 straight NCAA appearances after that. Huggins established himself as one of the nation’s best recruiters, producing NBAcaliber talent nearly every year and earning a reputation as a demanding coach who could get his players to do things no one thought they could. A rash of injuries kept his teams from making deep runs in the NCAA tournament, but his reputation as a winner was set.

way, that included Scheyer, who joked that as a student in a suburban Chicago junior high school, he briefly shed his allegiance to the Blue Devils and pulled for Seton Hall before growing out of that phase. But it wasn’t always a laughing matter for current seniors Scheyer, Lance Thomas and Brian Zoubek. It seemed to start during their first NCAA tournament appearance, a first-round upset in 2007 in which the biggest cheers seemed to come not because Virginia Commonwealth won but because Duke lost. In admitting then that the frosty reception bothered him, Thomas said: “I’ve never been that hated before.� “It really bothered me,� Thomas said Thursday. “Just to see how you have to mentally prepare and physically prepare for a team. ... Every team we play is going to try to take our head off — even with the year we had our freshman year, when it was every team’s day in the sun when they played us.� For several reasons, these current Blue Devils are cuddlier than their predecessors, many of whom seemed to take particular delight in the villain’s role. Unlike past Duke teams with antagonists such as Christian Laettner and J.J. Redick on the roster, this team lacks those lightning-rod personalities. “You don’t have the same guys — Jeter’s not coming back every year for us,�

Krzyzewski said, referring to the New York Yankees’ shortstop. “The young guys coming in have to try to understand that.� Something else those Duke teams had in common: They won with amazing frequency. The Blue Devils claimed three national titles and reached 10 Final Fours from 1986-2004. Then came what counts as a postseason lull in Krzyzewskiville: In the five years after that, they lost three times in the regional semifinals and in the other years didn’t even survive the opening weekend. “People don’t stop coming at you just because you lost a couple times,� Scheyer said. “Beating Duke is a big thing.� And yet, certain incidents seem to crystallize why some people just don’t like them. Late in the South Regional final against Baylor, Scheyer swung his elbows near LaceDarius Dunn while calling a timeout. That prompted the Bears’ Quincy Acy to step in and intervene, and a technical foul was called on Acy, not Scheyer. That came after a questionable charge called on Acy that instead could have been Zoubek’s fifth foul led to another round of complaints that Duke gets all the calls. Maybe that’s why, when Zoubek is asked about the intense feelings his program always seems to generate, he manages a halfhearted smile. “I’ve dealt with that my whole four years here,� Zoubek said. “Why would I expect it to change at the end of my senior year?�

Napolitano tours RI floods as state pleads for aid WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano took a helicopter tour over still-flooded Rhode Island on Friday, witnessing waterlogged shopping malls and homes with people’s possessions laid out to dry in their yards, as residents and officials in the already economically troubled state pleaded for her to secure more federal aid. Napolitano called the flooding “significant� and pledged the federal government’s help in the months to come. State officials, including U.S. Reps. Jim Langevin and Patrick Kennedy, pressed for more than what’s already been promised. “We were already reeling from a bad economy. This is the last thing that Rhode Island could deal with, and yet, here we are,� Langevin, whose district was hardest hit, said to Napolitano during a news

said the floods likely caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, and state labor officials said as many as 4,000 people are temporarily out of work. President Barack Obama had already declared a disaster in much of Rhode Island, which triggers some federal money, although the state is required to match 25 percent of the disaster funds. Carcieri and members of the congressional delegation have asked the federal government to waive that requirement given the

River, source of much of the flooding, to go below flood stage until at least Sunday. Many neighborhoods and businesses have been underwater since Monday due to three days

of record-setting rain that caused the worst flooding in the state in at least 200 years. It was the second round of major flooding this month. Gov. Don Carcieri has

state’s dire financial situation. The state has had years of budget problems, with a current deficit of $220 million, and the unemployment rate is at 12.7 percent, third worst in the country. Napolitano told The Associated Press she was considering the request, but she said the priority was to “get the aid out that we know we can get out.� She said Congress has strict laws about whether states qualify for the waiver but she would work with state officials on their application.

FBI warns letters could stir violence WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group’s call to remove governors from office could provoke violence. The group called the Guardians of the free Republics wants to “restore America� by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its Web site. It sent letters to governors demanding they leave office or be removed. Investigators do not see threats of violence in the group’s message, but fear the broad call for removal of top state officials could lead others to act out violently. At least two states beefed up security in response. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said he received one of the letters but wasn’t overly alarmed. “We get all kinds of, shall we say, ’interesting’ mail, so it’s not out of the norm,� Pawlenty said Friday. “It got more attention because it went to so many governors.� As of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don’t leave office within three days they will be removed, according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The note was obtained by The Associated Press. The FBI expects all 50 governors will eventually receive such letters. Governors whose offices reported getting the letters included Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Chet Culver of Iowa, Dave Heineman of Nebraska, Jim Gibbons of Nevada, Brad Henry of Oklahoma, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Bob McDonnell of Virginia, and Gary Herbert of Utah, where officials stepped up security in response to the letter. In Nevada, screening machines for visitors and packages were added to the main entrance to the state Capitol as a precaution. Chapter 7 ,

‘Dynasty’ oil tycoon John Forsythe dead at 92 By BOB THOMAS Associated Press Writer

Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa delivers the Good Friday homily during a service celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, Friday.

Pope’s preacher: Accusations are akin to anti-Semitism By FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press Writer VATICAN CITY — At a solemn Good Friday service, Pope Benedict XVI’s personal preacher likened the tide of allegations that the pontiff has covered up sex abuse cases to the “more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism.� But within hours, facing a storm of criticism at the comparison, the Vatican felt it necessary to distance the pope from the preacher’s remarks. Both Jewish and victims’ groups responded that it was inappropriate to compare the discomfort being experienced by the church leadership in the sex abuse scandal to the violence that culminated in the Holocaust. The Vatican has been on the defensive in recent days, saying the church has been singled out and collectively stereotyped for the problem of pedophilia, which it says is a society-wide issue.

Invoking any comparison with anti-Semitism was particularly sensitive on Good Friday, itself a delicate day in a decadeslong effort by Jews and Catholics to overcome a legacy of mistrust. There was a long-held Catholic belief that Jews were collectively responsible for executing Christ, and a landmark achievement of the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s was a declaration stating the Jews should not be blamed for the crucifixion. As the pope listened in a hushed St. Peter’s Basilica, the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa likened accusations against the pontiff and the Catholic church in sex abuse scandals in Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere to “collective violence� suffered by the Jews.

Benedict, 82, looked weary as he sat near the central altar at the early evening prayer service. Cantalamessa, in his reflections for the pope on the Catholic church’s most solemn day, said he was inspired by a letter from an unidentified Jewish friend who was upset by the “attacks� against Benedict. Jews “know from experience what it means to be victims of collective violence and also because of this they are quick to recognize the recurring symptoms,� said Cantalamessa, a Franciscan priest. Quoting from the letter, Cantalamessa said his Jewish friend was following “with indignation the violent and concentric attacks against the church, the pope and all the faithful of the whole world.�

LOS ANGELES — John Forsythe, the handsome, smooth-voiced actor who made his fortune as the scheming oil tycoon in TV’s “Dynasty� and the voice of the leader of “Charlie’s Angels,� has died after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 92. Forsythe died late Thursday at his home Forsythe in Santa Ynez from complications of pneumonia, publicist Harlan Boll said Friday. “He died as he lived his life, with dignity and grace,� daughter Brooke Forsythe said. Despite his distinguished work in theater and films, Forsythe’s greatest fame came from his role as Blake Carrington in producer Aaron Spelling’s 1981-89 primetime soap opera “Dynasty.� Forsythe lent dignity to the tale of murder, deceit, adultery and high finance, which often brought Carrington into conflict with his flashy, vengeful former wife, Alexis Colby, played to the hilt by Joan Collins. “He was one of the last of the true gentlemen of the acting profession,� Collins said in a statement. “I enjoyed our nine years of feuding, fussing and fight-

ing as the Carringtons.� Heather Locklear, another “Dynasty� co-star, called him “a gentleman in every sense of the word,� and a “gifted actor who knew the true meaning of being gracious and kind.� Forsythe was an important part of another hit Spelling series without being seen. From 1976 to 1981 he played the voice of Charlie, the boss who delivered assignments to his beautiful detectives, including Farrah Fawcett, via telephone in “Charlie’s Angels.� “We were so happy when he agreed to be the voice of Charlie, and he always laughed about having to take a back seat to Farrah’s hair,� Spelling’s widow Candy said in a statement. Forsythe evidenced little of the ego drive that motivates many actors. He viewed himself with a self-effacing humor, considering himself “a vastly usable, not wildly talented actor.� In a 1981 interview by The Associated Press, he also said: “I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier who have been touched by the hand of God. I’m in the next bunch.� Mike Greenfield, a former agent for Forsythe, said he was a pleasure to work with and to know. “They don’t get much better than John. He was a class act on every level,� Greenfield said.

Dear Annie: I am a 7th-grade girl. There’s this guy I like — and I know he likes me, too. The problem is, we’re both too shy to ask the other out. But I’m scared that if I don’t do anything, nothing will ever happen. If I ask him out, will I sound desperate? — Just Wondering Dear Just Wondering: No, but you might want to hedge your bets. You don’t need to be dating exclusively in 7th grade. Instead of asking him out, perhaps you and some friends could organize a group outing and you could invite him to join you. That will take the pressure off. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Confused in Phoenix,” who asked what to call the past decade. In Hawaiian, the word “puka” means a small hole or void. During WWII, Gen. Mark Clark led the men of the 100th Army Battalion, made up mostly of Pacific natives, including Sen. Daniel Inouye, a member of the “Go for Broke” 442nd company. The 100th Battalion soon became known as the “One Puka Puka” Battalion. Today, we have puka shell necklaces and puka dogs, so it seems only natural for us to have the puka decade, puka kids and the puka generation. It may be regional, but it does warm the heart, and I would rather call my grandkids little puka kids than zeroes, aughties or Oh’s. — Puka Grandparent Dear Grandparent: Very cute — as long as they pronounce it right (or maybe not). Our

readers seemed to enjoy weighing in on this topic. Read on for more: From Tallahassee: It is obvious to many in the U.S. that the truest name for the past decade is “The Oughts,” for we didn’t do the things we ought to have done and did plenty of things we ought not to have done. Northern Calif.: I’ve heard people call the years since 2000 “the early 2000s.” However, considering that this decade has given us the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, outbreaks of swine and avian flu, Hurricane Katrina, the Great Recession, sexting, and a gaggle of ridiculous shorthand and combo words (BFF, LOL, frenemy, ginormous), a more accurate name would be “The Oh No’s.” In addition, it will solve the problem of naming the next decade by giving us “The Oh No Not Agains.” Oxnard, Calif.: Why do people insist that the decade has ended? It will end in December 2010. Can’t people do the math? There is no year zero. Our calendar starts on year one. The new millennium started Jan. 1, 2001, not 2000. The decade will end on Dec. 31, 2010. Don’t rush it. Chicago: For years, I’ve tried to get people to call the decade the

“Double Oh’s.” It only happens once in a thousand years. But when I think back on how bad it got in Double-Oh Eight, I wonder whether “Zilches” might be better. Grand Island, Neb.: For the previous century, we used “Nineteen hundred” whatever. The most logical way now would be to say “Twenty whatever.” So this year would be “Twenty Ten,” next year would be “Twenty Eleven” and so forth. Since for the first 10 years people should have been saying “Twenty Oh One,” “Twenty Oh Two,” etc., I think the past decade should be called “The Twenty-Oh’s.” Boston: The 1970s were named the “Me” decade. The 2000s could be the “My” decade, since it brought the launch of social networking sites like MySpace. An alternative name could be the “I” decade, because the iPod, the iPad, the iPhone and iTunes all emerged. Florida: I think the perfect name should be the “Uh-oh’s” because of all the messes that began in this decade.
