One of the many Santas who attended the annual Holly and Shamrock Parade in March waves to the crowd.

GATLINBURG — The Celebrate Santa festival may be heading to the city’s naughty list. The festival for professional Santa Claus portrayers has been held in Gatlinburg the past two years, with a parade on the Parkway and events at the Convention Center. It’s been a hit for participants and spectators. The trouble, city officials say, is that organizers have not paid their bills for much of last year’s expenses or for last month’s festival. In a statement that was sent to some

Web sites for professional Santa portrayers, the Department of Tourism says the festival owes the city money for fees and other expenses. “On March 10, 2010, we were informed that, despite numerous promises over the past year, funds were not available to settle the balance for the 2009 event, which had an outstanding balance of over 60 percent of the amount that was agreed to and billed,” the statement said. “We were also informed at that time that funds were not available to pay any portion of the cost of the 2010 event and would not be available until later in the year.” See Santa, Page A4

The man hired to portray Titanic Captain Edward Smith at the new museum attraction in Pigeon Forge is joined by several other staffers in christening the ship during Thursday’s festivities.

PIGEON FORGE — For several of those who spoke during the grand opening and christening ceremonies for the new Titanic Museum Attraction on Thursday, there were various reasons why it seemed appropriate that the day was dominated by heavy rains. Mayor Keith Whaley joked the rain seemed right since they were launching a ship and one that encountered unfortunate weather conditions of its own. Titanic First Class Maid Jaynee Vandenberg suggested the precipitation was simply Tennessee’s way of reminding her of her home in rainy England. Property developer John Joslyn said it seemed only fitting because rain has presented the project’s biggest challenge, drenching about 150 days in the months of construction. “And it still is,” guest commander Regis Philbin said in his trademark stacatto. Whatever the reason, it seems the officials, employees and countless fans who braved the downpour to See titanic, Page A15

Children learn sewing skills, participate in arts and crafts and enjoy other activities during 4-H Camp.

Local businesses chip in for 4-H $1 clovers help send kids to camp By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Two area businesses are supporting Sevier County 4-Hers in fundraising efforts that will benefit local 4-H programming and military programs. When customers visit Tractor Supply Co. and Vanity Fair Factory Outlet Store, they can purchase a 4-H Clover for $1, with the proceeds assisting local 4-H members with the cost of 4-H camp. Tractor Supply will have 4-H members working in the store during the next few Saturdays, and patrons can check out the club member’s exhibits on display in the store as well. When shoppers bring in an old pair of jeans to Vanity Fair, they will receive a 20 percent-off coupon. The jeans will be made into “hero packs” (backpacks) by 4-H members and filled with items for children of deployed military personnel. “It’s a new thing, and we’re excited about it,” said Glenn Turner, 4-H coordinator and University of Tennessee extension agent. “The idea of the projects is service in the community — we’re trying to teach the kids to get involved. They’re also

learning sewing skills with the backpacks; Jeanie King at Sevier County High School is teaching them.” Sixty-percent of the $1 clovers will be used to assist Sevier County 4-H members in going to the organization’s summer camps. The Junior 4-H Camp (for campers who have completed grades 4-6) and 4-H Ed-venture Camp (for those who have completed grades 6-8) include everything from sports, talent shows and ropes courses to campfires, cookouts and woodworking.

things to reduce the cost for kids.” The hero packs project was born from Operation Military Kids, which provides grants and programs where children of military personnel can get assistance. “Some of the groups have started putting the backpacks together with things like paper, pens, snack items, disposable cameras and gift cards to McDonald’s.” Tractor Supply Co., at 330 West Main St., Sevierville, began participating in the campaign March 26 and will continue through April 18. Vanity Fair, at Governor’s Crossing on the Parkway in Sevierville, began its efforts April 1 and will continue through the end of the month.

NASHVILLE (AP) — The House sponsor of a proposal that sought to grant equal custody to divorced parents in Tennessee said Thursday he plans to revive an amended version after withdrawing it two days ago. Republican Rep. Mike Bell of Riceville pulled the measure from the House Children and Family Affairs Committee on Tuesday after an amendment was added that sought to give divorced parents the “maximum time� possible with a child, instead of dividing the time equally. However, Bell told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was asked by several members of the committee — including the sponsor of the amendment — to put the measure back on notice. Though the amended version was not quite what he wanted, Bell said he believes it will still send a message to judges that “the Legislature would like to see you divide the time more evenly between the parents.� “At this time, I believe I’m going to go forward with the bill as amended,� Bell said. The issue has been emotionally debated by lawmakers for nearly a decade, and the sponsor of the amendment, Republican Rep. Donna Rowland of Murfreesboro, said the amendment gives the bill the “best chance of passing.� “I’m hoping the new wording gets across to the judges the point we’ve been trying to make all along, which is both parents need to be involved in the children’s lives and they need to consider that,� she said. Supporters of the measure have said it’s needed to take discretion away from judges who are dealing with such a sensitive issue. Tyron Wilson of Nashville said a judge allowed his exwife to move to Alabama with his 6-year-old daughter before the divorce was even finalized. “Anything that will give me more time with my daughter is a plus,� said the 36-year-old. Bell said the proposal has been placed on the calendar of the House Children and Family Affairs Committee for next Tuesday. The companion bill is scheduled the same day for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senate sponsor Dewayne Bunch, a Cleveland Republican, said he hasn’t seen the amended legislation. He said he just wants to give judges an opportunity to “treat each party equitably so that shared parenting will be deemed to be in the best interest of the child.� “I expect we’ll have support for that,� he said. In the House on Thursday, lawmakers voted 52-32 to defeat a measure that would change the process for terminating child support payments. One concern was that the proposal removes judicial discretion to exclude parties’ addresses from child support orders by requiring that they be included in each child support order. Rep. Sherry Jones, a Nashville Democrat and vocal child care advocate, said inclusion of the addresses could affect domestic violence victims.

Joe Moore of Seymour, a co-coordinator of the event, said there is no question the money is owed, but said the city is working with the organization and that any money owed will be paid by June. “There is no controversy and no dispute,� Moore said. “The city has not shown us any concern over it. We signed paperwork with the city on the fees we owe. Everybody is fine with it.� David Perella, director of the city’s Department of Tourism, said the city has a promissory note from the organizers that is payable in full on June 15. In the months leading up to the second event, organizers Joe and Mary Moore of Seymour had told city officials they were in the process of getting sponsors for the event. Those sponsors were expected to help pay the bills for last year’s festival and this year’s festival. Perella said he couldn’t confirm whether the festival obtained any sponsors, but the city did not receive the promised payments and was left to consider whether to cancel an event that was set for March 13, with hotel rooms already booked and

some guests already in town. “We were put in an awkward situation,� Perella said. “We decided it wasn’t fair to the attendees (to cancel at the last minute).� Joe Moore said he wouldn’t be surprised if a blogger complaint led to the story spreading over the Internet. Perella said the city issued the statement after learning of complaints on several Internet forums that alleged the city had treated the festival unfairly, including claims the city raised the rate for events at the last minute. “There were no rate increases,� he said. “We did not raise rates on anything.� Joe Moore said he is not aware of anyone who attended the festival who didn’t enjoy and appreciate the city’s services and hospitality. “We never publicly complained about the city of Gatlinburg,� Moore said. “They handled everything beautifully.� The Celebrate Santa Web site indicates the festival is moving to Nashville next year. Moore said that’s not definite, but if the event does relocate, he said it won’t be because of anything that happened in Gatlinburg in 2009 or 2010. — Editor Stan Voit contributed to this story.

Benton County Tea party stirring up the GOP deletes thousands from voting rolls By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press Writer

CAMDEN (AP) — A purge of incomplete voter registrations dating back decades has led to thousands of people being removed from the voting rolls in one small Middle Tennessee county. Mark Ward, the Benton County election administrator, said in the process of verifying voter registrations, he noticed forms that were incorrectly filled out, such as boxes that weren’t checked for declaring citizenship or that the voter was over age 18. There are 11,700 registered voters in the county and 2,100 registrations have been invalidated, including the wife of state Rep. Butch Borchert, D-Camden. “There are a few people that have not been happy with the process,� Ward told WSMV-TV. He said his only course of action was to declare the forms deficient. “According to state law, this is the only way to do it,� Ward said. “I don’t know any other way to do it.� One resident, 69-yearold Charles Hubbs, said that he got a letter saying he failed to check that he was an American citizen, despite being born in Benton County. “I voted every election since 1962,� Hubbs said. Another voter, John Latimer, also was told his registration was invalid for not checking the box regarding citizenship on the form he filled out 30 years ago. “It shows my year of birth and my place of birth as Greenville, S.C. — which, last time I checked, it was the United States,� Latimer said. Ward said that even if voters filled out one piece of information like a birth date but didn’t check the box for being over 18, it was still invalid. “It’s not good enough to me because the question isn’t answered on the form,� said Ward. Mark Goins, Tennessee

election administrator, said the county election commissioner followed the law. But he said he doubts a judge would have invalidated the voter registrations of these longtime voters if there had ever been a challenge. “We are going to do everything we can that they correct the forms and make sure they are no longer deficient,� said Goins. Two weeks ago, 1,500 letters had been mailed to inform voters about the problems and some have fixed their forms. However, some residents said they are concerned that some voters didn’t understand the letter meant they wouldn’t be able to vote if they didn’t register again. “I’m afraid if they don’t fill them out and they come to vote, that they will be turned away, and if they are turned away, they won’t ever come back to vote again,� said Joyce Ball, a Benton County voter.

WASHINGTON — The tea party’s demands for ideological purity have caught some GOP presidential hopefuls off guard, forcing them to awkwardly defend past decisions as they watch hard-right rivals gain ground. It’s painfully ironic for some of the Republicans most often mentioned as possible challengers to President Barack Obama in 2012. Stances that gave them national attention and credibility are now being used as cudgels to attack them as wobbly centrists. Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty, for instance, gained a reputation as a pragmatic governor of a Democratic-leaning state. But now conservatives are berating him for accepting federal stimulus funds that helped him close a budget gap. South Dakota Sen. John Thune, who also draws talk as a possible 2012 contender, said a federal bailout of banks was needed when he voted for the plan in 2008. Now, with tea party activists railing against the bailout, Thune is pushing

efforts to end it. And Mitt Romney, the closest thing to an early front-runner — and, perhaps, the establishment candidate — is struggling to explain why he expanded health care as Massachusetts governor, even as he attacks Obama’s similar plan for the nation. Meanwhile, there’s increasing buzz about some hardline conservative Republicans who, until recently, rarely drew mention in presidential conversations. Chief among them is Texas Gov. Rick Perry. He handily defeated Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in last month’s Republican gubernatorial primary after positioning himself to her right on nearly every issue. And libertarian-Republican Ron Paul bested Romney and everyone else in a straw poll of presidential favorites at February’s gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Perry and Paul are among the numerous potential candidates

scheduled to speak this weekend to about 3,000 activists in New Orleans at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. For now, at least, the fastest-rising Republicans seem to be those most in sync with tea partiers’ aversion to taxes and Washingtonbased programs and regulations. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential nominee in 2008, draws big, enthusiastic crowds wherever she goes, even if party insiders question her ability to be elected president. She’ll be in New Orleans, too. In Texas, Perry fended

off Hutchison’s challenge by running as an antiWashington, antiestablishment candidate. He welcomed support from tea party activists and other hard-core conservatives. Romney and other more pro-establishment contenders are edging to the right and anxiously watching to see how high the tea party tide will rise.

Armed robbers may get longer sentences NASHVILLE (AP) — People convicted of armed robbery would be required to serve most of their sentences in prison under a bill passed on an 88-4 vote in the state House on Thursday. The measure sponsored by House Minority Leader Gary Odom would increase the minimum time served for aggravated robbery with a weapon from 30 percent of the sentence to 74 percent. The Nashville Democrat said the change would mean offenders would serve at least six

years, up from the current minimum of 2.4 years. “This is a good bill that is smart on crime,” Odom said. “Under this legislation, we will be using our existing jail cells to house our most dangerous criminals.” The bill would pay for the longer prison time by transferring sentences for first-time convictions for 19 nonviolent felonies to community corrections programs. The measure was supported by the state’s police chiefs — many of

whom were in the chamber for their annual day at the Capitol — and by prosecutors. The legislation passed after Republican Rep. Matthew Hill of Jonesborough withdrew a proposed amendment to restore prison sentences for four felonies, including breaking into cars, passing forged checks, burning private property and shoplifting less than $1,000. Odom charged earlier this week that Hill’s amendment would have scuttled the bill’s fund-

ing mechanism. Hill said on the House floor Thursday that he resented allegations by Odom earlier this week that he was trying to use his amendment to kill the bill. “When my motives are questioned, the people of Washington County are questioned, because I am their representative,” Hill said. “We can yell, we can scream, we can get red in the face, but at the end of the day we all represent the people of the great state of Tennessee.”

commentary

Pelosi key to passage of health bill Nancy Pelosi was a Democratic Party activist practically from the moment she was born, the daughter of a Maryland congressman. But at 47, the mother of five children had never run for public office — and did not think she ever would. She had promised herself she would never even think about it until her youngest finished high school. In 1987, a congressional seat opened in the 5th District of California with the death of 61-year-old Sala Burton, who had succeeded her husband, Phil, in Congress. Mrs. Burton told friends she thought Pelosi, an energetic fundraiser and former chair of the party, should get the so-called “Burton seat.” Pelosi’s youngest, Alexandra, was beginning her senior year in high school, and her mother said she would not run if the daughter needed her. “Go,” said the teenager. “Get a life!” The seat was and is (the district number has changed to 8) a safe Democratic seat. Pelosi, though, was a decided underdog in a 13-person field. She was derided as a “party girl” because of her many party positions over the years and because her big house in Pacific Heights was open around-the-clock for fundraising parties. A million dollars later, much of it from her husband, Paul, a presence in the city’s business and real estate worlds, she won the Democratic primary by 1 percent of the vote. “I’m Nancy Pelosi and I’m here to fight AIDS,” were her first words representing San Francisco on the floor of Congress. That marked her for years as a hyperliberal San Francisco Democrat. Marginal. But the mark was way off the mark. Pelosi is certainly a liberal, but she is also pragmatic, tough and, most of all, indefatigable. Those who thought she was just a rich lady from crazytown soon learned otherwise. She was a D’Alesandro from Baltimore. Her father had been a member of Congress and became mayor of Baltimore by organizing Italian-American voters door-to-door in the neighborhoods called Little Italy. One of her brothers also served as mayor. In Baltimore she was a princess. When she was born in 1940, it was front page news: “It’s a Girl for the D’Alesandros.” Before she was 10 years old she was handling the notes and letters from residents who would leave them on Mayor D’Alesandro’s doorstep. She moved to San Francisco, her husband’s hometown, and was there for six years before her name appeared in the papers. Said the San Francisco Chronicle: “Nancy Pelosi, neighborhood leader and sister-in-law of Supervisor Ronald Pelosi, was appointed yesterday to the San Francisco Library Commission.” Two years after that, in 1977, she was elected the chair of the Northern California Democratic Party. Thirty years later, the Economist, the British magazine, called her: “Arguably the most powerful woman in American history.” The Washington Post added: “Why did health care reform pass? Nancy Pelosi was in charge.” Pelosi’s greatest political triumph before becoming the first woman Speaker of the House came in 1976, when her friend, Gov. Jerry Brown, was running one of the wilder of American presidential campaigns. She practically dragged him to Maryland, moved him into the family house on Albemarle Street in Baltimore, where the D’Alesandros called in enough chits for him to defeat Jimmy Carter there — beginning a winning streak of seven straight primaries. She did all that without a great deal of publicity and was actually not very wellknown by the general public when she first ran. In her campaign speeches then she talked a good deal about being a mother. Some of the lessons of motherhood may be relevant to running the House of Representatives, a job that could fairly be compared to herding cats. When her children, the five of them were born within six years, asked her each year what she wanted for Mother’s Day, they always got the same answer: “Good behavior.” She wants and got the same thing from the 253 “children” in the House. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Unfortunate fame

Football recruit’s death brings attention to underage drinking We will never know if Matt James would have reached the massive potential that made him one of Brian Kelly’s first recruits after becoming Notre Dame’s football coach last winter. In James, he was getting a 6-foot-8, 290-pound hulk with great quickness, speed and agility, strong as a bull and an outstanding student with a 3.5 grade point average. Last weekend, however, James got his 15 minutes of fame, but in a most tragic way — by becoming a high-profile poster child victim of underage drinking. Drunk and belligerent, according to officials, James fell five floors to his death from a balcony at a hotel in Panama City, Fla. He and several other students, along with several chaperones, were on spring break. His coaches, teammates and classmates at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati said he was a gentle giant, a young man who was a joy to be around. Unfortunately, that young man did not live to see even his 18th birthday, to enroll

at Notre Dame, to perhaps become an All-America, to reach his potential on the field and in the classroom. Statistics show that every year there are more than 5,000 people under the age of 21 — very few of them with the ability to command national headlines as James has — whose deaths are directly linked to underage drinking. Other statistics concerning underage and drinking among young adults are just as alarming. More than 1,700 college students — 4.65 per day — are killed each year as a result of alcohol-related injuries. The average age for a person taking their first drink is 15.9 years and every day more than 11,000 underage children take their first drink. Further, in each of the three leading causes of death for ages 15-24 — automobile crashes, homicide and suicide — alcohol is a major factor. Additionally, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism points out that excessive abuse by young people can

lead to brain damage, causing poor performance at school and work. It can also lead to other types of substance abuse, violence, date rape and other types of crimes, as well as planting the seeds for alcoholism. Let’s face it, society is never going to eliminate underage drinking. It’s a fact of life that many young people are going to experiment, be it with alcohol, drugs or sex. Certainly, character and morals in individual youth play a part in the abstinence from one or all three, but it is up to adults to warn adolescents and teens about the inherent dangers and to lead by example. No one is saying Matt James was a bad kid. Fact is, he was probably a typical kid — who had a momentary lapse in judgment. Unfortunately, it was a fatal lapse. Because of his death, the dangers of underage drinking got national attention. In that respect, perhaps he did not die in vain.

No one wants that, including and especially Christians, but many, many times during the course of their struggle to create a form this is a nation established on Biblical precepts. Those non-Christians of government that would protect the freedom of the individual and coming to this country should respect this and leave it alone. encourage the propagation of this freedom for preceding generation. Those who are hostile to Christianity and will go to any expense and Even those who were not Christian, such as Ben Franklin, undertake every opportunity to speak against it, feel that it is hindering their stood the need for guidance from God.

Smoky Bears snap 3-game skid, best S-D By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

Tiger in the hunt; Couples and Watson have great first round Fred Couples, 50, leads after one round of The Masters with Tom Watson, 60, at his heels By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods shot a 4-underpar 68 Thursday, his best score ever on the first day of the Masters despite a five-month layoff tied to a sex scandal. Woods made eagles at the eighth and 15th holes — the first time he’s had multiple eagles in a Masters round. Also, he had never started with a score lower than 70 until Thursday, when he put himself just two strokes behind the surprising leader, 50-yearold Fred Couples. Even with Couples putting up the best score of his Masters career for the lead and 60-year-old Tom Watson posting another turn-back-the-clock round in a major, all eyes were on the world’s best player during one of the most scrutinized opening rounds in golf history. No one was sure what to expect from Woods, a fourtime Masters champion competing for the first time since a Thanksgiving night

car wreck led to revelations of numerous extramarital affairs. But eagles at the eighth and 15th holes certainly answered the question on everyone’s mind: How would he play? When he rolled in an 8-foot putt at the 15th, it was the first time in his 16-year Masters career that he’s ever had a pair of eagles in the same round. It also left him just two strokes behind Couples’ 6-under 66. No longer sporting the goatee he had worn during practice, Woods bounced back from his first bogey with two precise shots that set up a 10-footer for eagle at the par-5 eighth. When the ball dropped in the cup, patrons rose in unison to salute the disgraced golfer, who delivered his first fist pump of the day. But this round likely will be remembered for a shot Woods pulled off at the next hole. He yanked his drive left of the fairway, leaving him with a treacherous 5-iron that had to be hooked around the pine trees to reach an uphill

SEVIERVILLE — April had been rough to Sevier County Smoky Bears (12-7, 6-2 in District 2-AAA) entering Tuesday night’s matchup with district rival South-Doyle. While the Bears had won their first two games of the month, the boys in Purple and White had dropped their last three, including a Monday night loss to the Cherokees 6-4 at home. But Tuesday night, as they traveled to south Knoxville for a rematch, “ It was a good team the Bears returned to win, and hopefully form. Behind strong pitch- we can string a few ing performances from together now.” junior Charlie Gavaghan and freshman Dillon Coach Lance Traywick Cate, and a three-RBI night from left fielder Zach Flynn, the Smoky Bears won 7-2 over District 2-AAA South-Doyle and their ace UT commitment Baseball Standings Matt Kirkland. 3-0 “I was extremely proud Morristown West of the boys coming out Sevier County 6-2 with their backs against Seymour 5-2 the wall,” coach Lance Jefferson County 5-2 Traywick said. “They Morristown East 3-2 played excellent baseball South-Doyle 3-3 from start to finish.” 1-7 Neither team could Cherokee get on the board for the Cocke County 0-7 games first three innings, but the Bears struck first 14-game season in the fourth with Charlie Fields RBI single. Fields, who’d been out for 10 days with a hamstring injury, was back in the lineup for the Bears, and back to form, according to Traywick. SCHS added to their lead in the top of the fifth with as Zach Flynn doubled in Kelby Carr, who’d singled and stolen second. Then Fields delivered again with another RBI single, scoring Flynn. South-Doyle answered in the home half of the inning, finally getting getting on the scoreboard for a pair of runs. Gavaghan plunked the first two South-Doyle hitters, and coach Traywick went to the bullpen, inserting freshman Dillon Cate. While Cate gave up a two-run double, he did settle down and dominate the rest of the game. With their score trimmed to 3-2, the Bears’ offense went back at it in the top of the sixth, giving Cate a comfy cushion of three more runs. Sophomore Kyle Pope drew an 11-pitch free pass from Kirkland, and Michael Farragut added a two-out single. Sophomore Kelby Carr then delivered a single to center to score Pope. Moments later Flynn was doing what he does best, driving in two runs with a triple down the left field line to make it 6-2. The Bears added another run in the top of the seventh on a Zac Cate RBI double, but his little brother wouldn’t need the added insurance, as he shut down the Cherokee offense for the save. “Gavaghan pitched well and Dillon Cate came in and slammed the door,” Traywick said. “The freshman came in and did his job. It was a good team win, and hopefully we can string a few together now.” The Bears will play today at noon in a makeup game with Greene County, Ky. — the two teams were set to face yesterday, but rain forced today’s early start instead. SCHS will then play a nightcap at 6:30 against Knox County, Ky. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Golf tournament raises over $14K for Special Olympics SEVIERVILLE — After a long, cold winter 114 golfer were ready to enjoy a beautiful spring day and the Special Olympics and the Sevier County G.O.L.F. League were the beneficiaries of their generosity last Wednesday afternoon. “The weather’s perfect, we have 24 more golfers than last year, the food’s great and our merchants and sponsors have been very kind to us as always,” said Dan Deremer, the Area golf tournament director, said. “Many of these people have been involved since we began 13 years ago, and we appreciate how nice everyone is to our athletes.” Winners in this year’s event were “A” Flight Champions Roy Hawkins and Bill Christianson with

a 66. Taking second place after a scorecard playoff (also shooting a 66) was the team of Jerry Cameron and Bud Miller. Mike Green and Ben Bremer shot a 67 to take third place. All three winning teams shot 75 in the “B” Flight, and after the dust settled Eric Drummond and Charlie Hopper took first place, while Shawn Steakley and Brook Hemphill placed second, followed by Dave Haulsee and James Woody in third. Mike Green was the longest drive winner. Joe Kretschmar hit the straightest drive. Closest to the pin winners were Mark Dill, James Woody, Terry Gamble, Devan Hawkins and Tom Sill.

The event raised over $14,000 for Area 10 Special Olympics and the Sevier County Gifted Olympians Lifelong Friends League, the local non-profit agency formed to give people with special abilities a chance to learn and play the game of golf. “Just come to one of our practices and you’ll see the special skills our athletes have,” Deremer said. “With the economy the wait it is, I feel very humbled and grateful for the support we receive.” For information on becoming involved in the Sevier County G.O.L.F. League, contact Dan Deremer at 680-3668. From submitted reports

Another one gone: Senior QB Stephens calls it quits Simms, Bray move to front in QB battle KNOXVILLE — Senior quarterback Nick Stephens informed Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley on Thursday that he is leaving the team. “In light of the way the first eight practices have gone and some of the competition we’ve created, he doesn’t want to be here and risk not playing his senior year,” Dooley said. “Nick

the first time, just two strokes behind. The gallery around the first tee was sparse a halfhour before Woods was scheduled to start. By the time he arrived, it had swelled to 10 deep all the way round. Woods smiled and touched the brim of his cap, acknowledging the cheers when his name was announced. “Make us proud!” a fan yelled. Not that he totally escaped his personal troubles inside the gates of Augusta National. A small plane flew over the course pulling a banner that jabbed the golfer: “Tiger: Did you mean bootyism?” — a reference to Woods’ claim that part of the reason for his troubles was that he left his faith, Buddhism. Some people in the stands laughed and pulled out binoculars to get a closer look. Later, another banner said: “Sex Addict? Yeah. Right. Sure. Me Too!” Woods largely lived up to

“We hate to lose Nick but I certainly understand it.” Vols coach Derek Dooley

is in his fifth year and has been trying to get on the field his whole career. He just felt it was too risky to go through another season, because he just wants to play. “We hate to lose Nick but I certainly understand it. It’s a fifth-year quarterback who hasn’t played. You go play football to

his vow to be more responsive to the crowd and try to keep his emotions in check. He doffed his cap to the fans several times, and they were appreciative. “I think the way he’s reacting with the crowd is amazing,” said Jim Moehring, who cheered on Woods in Amen Corner. “He seems to be more relaxed.” Until he got to No. 14. Woods’ explosive temper let loose there after an errant iron shot. He slung down his club and let out a scream as he turned away, unwilling to even watch the flight of the ball. Couples has won three straight times on the 50-andover Champions Tour, and that success carried over to Augusta. He had only one bogey the entire day and shot a 32 on the back side. “I’m driving it very long and fairly straight, and I’m putting ridiculously well out there,” he said. “Today I made a bunch of 6- and

play, and I understand the emotion of it.” That leaves Matt Simms or Tyler Bray, both of whom joined the Vols at the start of this semester, as the likely starter come September. Simms is a junior from Franklin Lakes, N.J., by way of El Camino (Calif.) Community College, and Bray is a true freshman from Kingsburg, Calif. “We’ll give Matt and Tyler more reps,” Dooley said. “From that standpoint, they are going to get more opportunity and a better chance to show what they can do.”

7-footers on the front nine. That was just a huge boost.” Watson, who nearly became the oldest major winner in golf history at last year’s British Open, showed it wasn’t a fluke. He held the lead for a while after shooting 67, tying his best round at Augusta.

my life is train outdoors,” said Penn, who lives and frequently trains in Hilo, Hawaii. “The humidity and everything in Hawaii, you can get sweaty and stuff, but I don’t know how it’s going to be in Abu Dhabi. If it is humid like Hawaii, it might get a little slippery, so we might have to expect something like that. Outdoors, it’s just like how we live in Hawaii, just pretty slip-and-slide.” Silva is shooting for his 11th consecutive victory and sixth title defense. The Spider acknowledges he’s considering a move to another weight class if he wins as easily as expected, yet the Abu Dhabi crowd could be behind Maia, who had a particular affinity for the place even before this adventure. He caught the UFC’s attention in 2007 by winning a submission wrestling tournament sponsored by the Abu Dhabi Combat Club. “I’m very glad that I was fighting there and I won, and now I can come back and fight again in their land,” Maia said. “It’s very nice for me, and grappling is my style. I hope I’ll do that there.” The club was created by Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the son of a former president of the United Arab Emirates, to spur the growth of wrestling, jiujitsu, judo and other martial arts in the Middle East.

When the UFC debuts in the Middle East this weekend, the octagon will be outdoors in the heat. The raucous, skin-baring show in the temporary arena built around it is sure to raise a few eyebrows, as well. Yet mixed martial arts is nothing new in Abu Dhabi, where UFC 112 is expected to crack open yet another market for the growing sport’s dominant promotion. The UFC’s first outdoor event might be an outlandish venture on many levels, but the league’s worldwide expansion is proceeding as planned. “When we began discussing the idea of coming to Abu Dhabi, it was only in December,” said Marshall Zelaznik, the UFC’s U.K. president. “When you think where we are now, and you see the venue that’s been built, it will absolutely blow you away. We knew this was a hotbed for Brazilian jiujitsu and other martial arts ... but the response has just amazed us.” Middleweight champion Anderson Silva will defend his belt against Demian Maia, and lightweight champ B.J. Penn will take on Frank Edgar. Matt Hughes also will fight 43-year-old MMA pioneer Renzo Gracie, whose coaching relationships in the United Arab Emirates facilitated this unlikely event. The UFC also is in Abu Dhabi to visit its new partners: Flash Entertainment, an events promotion company owned by the Emirates government, recently bought a 10-percent stake in the UFC. The company is expected to aid the UFC’s expansion into China and other markets where the

American company needs local connections. The UFC expects about 11,000 fans in the arena built next to the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island, outside the Abu Dhabi city center. The outdoor temperature and humidity should be tolerable, although the UFC is a bit concerned about wind and sand. And to answer the questions most commonly posed to Zelaznik and UFC president Dana White, the venue will sell alcohol, and the UFC’s Octagon Girls will be allowed to perform in their skimpy two-piece outfits. The arena was built in about three weeks, and workers still were rushing to finish the venue less than 48 hours before it opened. Although the fighters’ dressing rooms are in upscale trailers, this unusual setting is a particular thrill for the two dominant champions on the card. Silva and Penn are no strangers to going wherever White sends them, yet the prospect of an open-air octagon initially gave pause to both fighters. Although both are heavily favored to beat their opponents, they wondered whether they would have more trouble with stifling heat or sandstorms. Two weeks in the city have allayed most of those fears. “All I do every day of

SPORTS BRIEFS Lawyer: evidence will exonerate Holmes ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes says he has mailed Orlando Police investigators evidence that will exonerate his client against allegations that he threw a glass at a woman in a nightclub. Attorney Adam Swickle refused to say Thursday what the evidence was since it is part of an ongoing investigation. Orlando Police Department spokeswoman Barbara Jones also refused to say whether detectives had received anything. Anshonae Mills filed a lawsuit last month claiming Holmes threw a glass at her, cutting her above the eye. In the lawsuit, she said Holmes and a police officer intimidated her so she wouldn’t press charges. Mills changed her mind, and the case has been reopened by the Orlando police.

Nike airs Tiger Woods ad with late father NEW YORK (AP) — Nike confirms it is airing a TV commercial Wednesday featuring Tiger Woods and the voice of his late father, an edgy move that calls out his personal problems on the eve of his return to competitive golf. The ad is to air on ESPN and the Golf Channel just one day before the Masters begins. In the stark, black-and-white ad, Woods looks directly into the camera without speaking while a recording of his late father is heard, speaking about taking responsibility. “Did you learn anything?” Earl Woods says. Woods is returning to golf after a leave that followed revelations of infidelities and a stint in rehab. Nike Inc. is one of the few sponsors to stand by Woods during his troubles.

Cooley, Kelly impressed with McNabb

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Donovan McNabb is impressing his new teammates. As Chris Cooley was talking Thursday about how easily McNabb was fitting in during his first week with the Washington Redskins, the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was making his tight end’s point by looking in command as he threw to his new targets on an adjacent field. McNabb was acquired from the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles for two draft picks on April 4. Receiver Malcolm Kelly agrees that McNabb, who started five NFC championship games and a Super Bowl during his 11 years with the Eagles, is already having an effect on the Redskins, who were 4-12 in 2009.

Company exec urged Toyota to ‘come clean’ before massive recall By LARRY MARGASAK Associated Press Writer

Coal mine rescue abandoned Explosive mix of gases forces crews to turn back By VICKI SMITH and LAWRENCE MESSINA Associated Press Writers MONTCOAL, W.Va. — Dangerous gases forced rescue crews to abandon the search Thursday for four coal miners missing since an explosion killed 25 colleagues in the worst U.S. mining disaster in more than two decades. Rescuers had been working their way through the Upper Big Branch mine by rail car and on foot early Thursday, but officials said they had to turn back because of an explosive mix of gases in the area they needed to search. “We think they are in danger and that’s the whole intent of evacuating them from the mine,” said Kevin Stricklin of the Mine Health and Safety Administration. “We couldn’t let the rescue teams underground any longer based on the readings.” The rescuers made it to within about 500 feet of an airtight chamber with four days worth of food, water and oxygen where they hoped the miners might have sought refuge. They did not make it far enough to see the bodies of the dead or determine if anyone had made it to the chamber. Stricklin acknowledged the evacuation was a setback. An executive with mine owner Massey Energy Co. said later that he hoped crews could get back into the mine around 7 p.m., after crews finished drilling a hole was to allow fresh air in. Officials weren’t sure what caused the gas levels to rise but said it could have been a drop in barometric pressure as a storm rolled in. The rescue crews were leaving their equipment behind so they did not have to lug it back in with

before gases forced them out of the mine. Stricklin said the families of the dead and missing understood the need to

pull rescuers out again. “It’s a roller coaster for these people,” Stricklin said. “It’s very emotional. You can only imagine what it would be like.” Rescuers had already had to wait to enter the mine until crews drilled holes deep into the earth to ventilate lethal carbon monoxide and highly explosive hydrogen as well as methane gas, which has been blamed for the explosion. The air quality was deemed safe enough early in the day for four teams of eight members each to go on what officials were still calling a rescue mission, but later tests showed the air was too dangerous to continue. J. Christopher Adkins, chief operating officer of Massey Energy Co., said at a briefing Thursday afternoon that rescuers were angry they had to turn back. He also described the scene when they went in. “They see a horrendous explosion and a lot of destruction,” he said. He also said that workers may have found an alternate route that will allow them to get to where they need to be faster when they can safely go back into the mine.

WASHINGTON — In the days leading up to its massive recall in January, Toyota executives debated when they should inform the public about safety problems with accelerator pedals, prompting one executive to urge the company to “come clean,” according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Irv Miller, Toyota’s then-group vice president for environment and public affairs, warned his colleagues in an e-mail on Jan. 16, 2010: “We are not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet. The time to hide on this one is over. We need to come clean.” Five days later, Toyota announced it would recall 2.3 million vehicles to address sticking pedals on popular vehicles such as the Camry and Corolla. As Toyota deals with a spate of recalls, the e-mail reveals serious concerns within the Japanese company’s public relations leadership that it wasn’t dealing with the safety problems squarely and could be inflicting damage to its long-standing reputation for safety and quality. Months earlier, in September 2009, the automaker had announced a recall of more than 4 million vehicles to replace gas pedals that could get stuck in floor mats and cause sudden acceleration. Toyota has recalled more than 6 million vehicles in the U.S. and a total of more than 8 million worldwide because of acceleration problems in multiple models and braking issues in the Prius hybrid. “We better just hope that they can get NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to work with us in coming (up) with a workable solution that does not put us out of business,” Miller wrote in the Jan. 16 e-mail. He noted that Jim Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, and Yoshi Inaba, president of Toyota Motor North America, were traveling to Washington to meet with federal regulators.

Diplomat sneaking smoke causes bomb scare on plane

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Qatari diplomat trying to sneak a smoke in an airplane bathroom sparked a bomb scare Wednesday night on a flight from Washington to Denver, with fighter jets scrambled and law enforcement put on high alert, law enforcement officials said. No explosives were found on the man. and officials do not believe he was trying to harm anyone, according to a senior law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. An Arab diplomat briefed on the matter identified the man as Mohammed Al-Madidi. The sources asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. Officials said air marshals aboard the flight restrained the man and he was questioned. The plane landed safely as military jets were scrambled.

Obama, Medvedev sign treaty to cut nuclear arms By JENNIFER LOVEN Associated Press Writer

Associated Press

Firefighters search for people buried by a landslide in the Morro do Bumba area of the Niteroi neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.

Up to 200 feared dead in new mudslide in Rio By BRADLEY BROOKS Associated Press Writer

NITEROI, Brazil — As many as 200 people were buried under tons of mud and feared dead on Thursday after a slum built atop a former landfill gave way in the latest deadly landslide to hit metro Rio de Janeiro. If confirmed, the deaths would raise the toll sharply from the 153 people already known to have died this week in slides triggered by record rains. “We know that about 60 houses were buried,” Rio state health secretary Sergio Cortes told The Associated Press. “It is hard to say exactly how many people were buried under the mud as well, but a worst-case scenario is 200.” The slide that hit late Wednesday was a wall of black earth and garbage about 40 feet (12 meters) high that plowed through the Morro Bumba shantytown before coming to a halt along the edge of road in Niteroi, a city of about 500,000 across the bay from Rio. On Thursday, crews with heavy machinery dug through the debris and about a dozen trucks lined up to haul it off. News broadcasts showed one house on top of

the hill with only two walls standing, and a bed, a night stand and a television inside. Everything else went down with the slide. Residents told local media that a small church, a day care center and several business were in the area and likely buried. “In our experience, it’s an instant death” for anyone caught in such a slide, said Pedro Machado, undersecretary of Rio state’s Civil Defense department. The ground underneath the shantytown — decades of accumulated trash — was especially unstable and vulnerable to the heavy rains, said Agostinho Guerreiro, president of Rio’s main association of engineers and architects. “It is very fragile soil. It couldn’t hold (the rain). The houses came down, destroying the ones below them,” Guerreiro told Globo TV. “It was a tragedy foretold.” The federal government announced an emergency fund of 200 million reals ($114 million) to help the state deal with the mudslides and flooding. The fire department spokesman said six bodies had been found so far in Morro Bumba and 28 people were rescued after the mudslide hit late Wednesday.

PRAGUE — Casting aside years of rancor, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday signed the biggest nuclear arms pact in a generation, lacing the moment with new warnings of sanctions for an intransigent Iran. The treaty, sealed after months of halting negotiation, is significant not just for what it does but for what it symbolizes: a fresh start for the United States and Russia, and evidence to a watching world that nuclear disarmament is more than a goal. The pact commits their nations to slash the number of strategic nuclear warheads by one-third and more than halve the number of missiles, submarines and bombers carrying them. That still leaves the two countries with enough nuclear firepower to ensure mutual destruction several times over, but the move sets a foundation for deeper reductions, which both sides are already pursuing. “It sends a signal around the world that the United States and Russia are prepared to once again take leadership,” Obama said moments after he and Medvedev signed the treaty in a gleaming, ornate hall in the Czech Republic’s presidential castle. Said the Russian president: “The entire world community has won.” The pact will shrink the limit of nuclear warheads to 1,550 per country over

President Barack Obama, accompanied by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, gestures during their joint news conference after signing the New START treaty on Thursday at the Prague Castle. seven years, about a third less than the 2,200 currently permitted. Looming over the celebration was Iran, which in the face of international pressures continues to assert that its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes, not for weapons as suspected. Six powers — the U.S., Russia, Britain, France, Germany and now China — are in talks in New York about a fourth set of United Nations sanctions to pressure Iran into compliance. “We cannot turn a blind eye to this,” Medvedev said in a show of solidarity. But he said he was frank with Obama about how far Russia was willing to go, favoring only what he called “smart” sanctions that might have hope of changing behavior. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov later elaborated by saying, for example, that Russia would not endorse a total embargo on the delivery of refined petroleum products into Iran. Such products might be

targeted in other ways, or sanctions on Iran’s energy sector might be avoided altogether to avoid running into deal-breaking opposition from Russia or China. The nuclear arms pact now faces a ratification vote in the Russian legislature and the U.S. Senate. At home, Obama’s team is struggling to get the necessary votes, and the president himself is directly involved. He said he was confident that Democrats and Republicans would see that the treaty protects U.S. interests — an upbeat view of bipartisanship in a town where it’s been scarce. “I feel confident that we are going to be able to get it ratified,” Obama said. But prospects of the treaty’s ratification are still uncertain. Democratic officials said they hoped the treaty could be ratified by the end of the year, but that the timing of the debate would depend upon the submission of technical documents accompanying the treaty.

Iran: 3 jailed Americans linked to U.S. intelligence TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s intelligence minister accused three Americans jailed since crossing the border from Iraq in July of having links to U.S. intelligence services, state TV reported Thursday. The comments toughened Iran’s accusations against the group, suggesting authorities could be close to bringing them to trial after months of mixed signals and fears in the U.S. that they could be used as bargaining chips in Iran’s confrontation with the West. Their families say the three were on a hike in the scenic Kurdish region of northern Iraq and unintentionally strayed across the border. Iran has accused them of spying and said it intends to bring them to trial. Iran’s English-language

satellite channel Press TV said Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi told the station in an exclusive interview that Tehran has “credible evidence” the three were linked to U.S. intelligence. He did not elaborate but said the evidence would be revealed to news media soon. It was the first time a senior official has said the three were tied to U.S. intelligence. Moslehi also warned neighboring countries against cooperating with U.S. and Israeli intelligence, the report said. Press TV briefly showed footage of the minister speaking but did not air his comments in full. Instead, a news anchor read out a summary of the main points. In Washington, State Department spokesman

P.J. Crowley said he was not aware of the specific allegation but flatly denied the trio had anything to do with U.S. intelligence. “It’s not true,” he told reporters, without elaborating.

celebrate the ship-shaped attraction’s opening and catch a glimpse of Philbin, host of “Live with Regis and Kelly,� were looking past the showers to what Citizens National Bank President David Verble called “a brighter day.� “I was going to say this is a beautiful morning and you know what? It is,� Vandenberg explained as she kicked off the festivities. “I don’t care how wet it is.� Certainly it was a big day, if not a dry one, with the opening of an attraction that has been years in the making, cost $25 million to build — one of the largest loans ever insured by the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Rural Development program, Verble said — and is expected to bring millions of visitors to the area. “This is an absolutely fabulous experience you’re going to see,� Philbin told the crowd. “I got a chance to go through it last night and I just loved it. This is the biggest and the best of them all. You feel like you’re on the ship yourself.� Philbin pointed out Joslyn and wife Mary Kellog Joslyn, who is credited with taking Philbin’s morning talk show into syndication and invited the star to join the festivities, have “spared no expense� re-creating parts of the Titanic. Around those models, which include mockups of the ship’s grand staircase and a stairwell where water appears to be rushing down toward visitors, are a host of artifacts, many of which Joslyn himself helped retrieve from Titanic’s resting place 2.5 miles down at the bottom of the North

Atlantic Ocean. “The best way we can remember the people who were on Titanic is to tell their stories,� Joslyn said Thursday, repeating a mantra many local folks have already heard. “I’d love for people to come here and think about the history of Titanic and pay tribute to the passengers and crew who died that April night.� Those efforts for authenticity seem to have paid off. Paul Kurzman, great-grandson of Macy’s owners and Titanic passengers Isadore and Ida Strauss, was among those who got the first look at the recreation and he offered high praise for it. “I think it’s beautifully done,� Kurzman said as he stood in a re-creation of his great-grandparents’ Titanic stateroom. “It really does honor Titanic and all the families who were onboard. They’ve really replicated it with great authenticity. From what we know and the photographs we have, the authenticity is just amazing.� Kurzman’s ancestors have one of the most legendary and touching stories from

the night of April 14 and morning of April 15, 1912. Wealthy and in their old age, the Strausses wanted to try out what was then the most opulent oceanliner in the world, as well as the largest moving object on the face of the earth. As the ship was sinking, Ida Strauss was offered a seat on a lifeboat. Her husband, however, opted to stay back on the ship, with chivalry and the officers’ shouts of, “Women and children only,� precluding his finding safety. “My great-grandmother said, ‘Then I don’t want to go, either. We’ve raised six children and had a wonderful life together. If my husband’s going down with the ship, then I’ll be there holding his hand and we’ll go down together,’� Kurzman said. “That is a very poignant story.� It’s tales such as that one that Joslyn said he’s tried to capture in the attraction — and will keep visitors, each of whom are given a boarding pass describing an actual Titanic passenger — coming back again and again. “You’ve got to look for the great story and you’ve got to

tell that story,� Joslyn said. Beyond that, those largerthan-life stories from Titanic are what Philbin credits with creating a mystique around Titanic that seems to captivate everyone around the world and even swallows some people — like Joslyn — whole. “It’s a great historic event,� Philbin said. “So many people have learned about it and seen the movie. So many people are touched by it.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

shipbuilder Capt. Thomas Andrews. There were illustrations of the reception room, grand staircase, dining saloon and Turkish bath, as well as a display titled “Designing the Elements� with information on the ship’s design, construction, elements and electrical supply. In fact, there were so many pictures, displays, artifacts and information that came at you as soon as you entered that you became a little overwhelmed. I so wanted to take my time and examine everything carefully, but it was opening day — and I was trying not to get run over by the big crowd that followed me (also known as my fellow passengers). Interesting artifacts I had a chance to study included a patch of carpet (valued at $30,000); a White Star Line match tin and brochure; an original discharge book belonging to one of the ship’s engineers; an ad in The New York Times regarding the ship’s scheduled return; a silk gown with handmade lace designed by passenger Lady Lucile Duff Gordon, who was hailed as “the greatest fashion creator of her time;� and the life jacket of Madeline Talmage Astor, bride of John Jacob Astor, the wealthiest man aboard the Titanic. As I came to the “Fire in the Coal Bunkers� display, I saw where guests could actually shovel coal into the furnace. “Firemen and stokers got paid just $1 a day,� a museum guide told me. “Most were just working for a passage to a new life.� Other favorites of the tour were the photographs that Father Browne took and the

first-class parlor suite that inspired a romantic scene in the 1997 movie “Titanic.� Guests could also test their knowledge throughout the tour with questions like “What is the poop deck?� If you’ve ever wondered how cold it was on that fateful night, there’s an especially chilly room that will give you an idea. You can even dip your hand into the water (and quickly dry off with the available paper towels and discreet disposal spots). Little passengers can have their chance to steer the ship in the “Tot Titanic� section, and before they exit, guests can study a timeline of the Titanic’s sad demise. They can also find out if they were one of the lucky survivors. Fortunately, little Eva Hart’s name was listed as one of the 118 second-class passengers who survived. There were 161 other second-class passengers who did not. A brief summary of the passengers was given on guests’ boarding passes. Eva’s said the following: “Titanic was a giant playground for me and my new friend, Annie Harper. We spent hours exploring the ship, but my special, favorite thing to do was to visit a lovable little crunched-face bulldog down in the ship’s kennel. “I was excited about the voyage, but Mother had a strong feeling our adventure would end badly.� The tour was definitely an enjoyable, educational experience, and I plan to return after the opening madness dies down a little. This weekend, though, I’ll be reading my Titanic Collector’s Guide from front to back — and of course, watching Kate and Leo in “Titanic.� n ebrown@themountainpress.com

The image of Wesley Breeden leading his team of mules around J.B. Leatherwood’s farm was reminiscent of simpler times.

Hobby keeps old-fashioned farming practice, memories alive By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor

T

he creak of the cart’s seat, the squeak of the wheels and the jingle of the harnesses combine with the swooshing sound of the grass as it is swept by at section harrow being pulled by Wesley Breeden and his three-mule team. The roar of a motor doesn’t drown out the sound of chirping birds. With a gorgeous view of the Smoky Mountains on a unusually warm April day, the old-fashioned process of helping fertilize the land is an enjoyable one for Breeden and land owner J.B. Leatherwood and his 8-year-old granddaughter Brittany. As Breeden leads the team in circuits around the gentlyrolling slope, he and Leatherwood can remember times gone by. They share in happy memories from their childhood and create new ones for Brittany. “I love it,” Leatherwood said. “I just enjoy it so much. Because it was how I was raised. I was raised like this. Look here, I’ve plowed with a turning plow.” He has visible memories scattered around his 55 acres. “I’ve got some old three-foots over there that you cultivated with and, in fact, there’s an old double shovel See Tradition, Page B4

All comebacks begin with mental toughness Butler almost did it against Duke in the 2010 men’s basketball NCAA championship game. One night later, Connecticut did it against Stanford to win the women’s championship. Underdog Butler, almost came back to win before falling 61-59. Favored Connecticut, after playing very poorly in the first half and trailing by a record-setting low score of 20-12 at halftime, came back to outscore Stanford 17-2 to open the second half and eventually post a 53-47 victory. The art of the comeback is something of which legends are made and stories are written. “The Comeback Kid,” a 1980s movie with John Ritter, is about a down-and-out former professional baseball player who is coerced into coaching a group of underprivileged kids and leads them to a Little League championship. Along the way, he finds a new zest for life. Another 1980s movie, “The Natural,” features Robert Redford as a once-promising baseball player who returns to professional ball fifteen years later to restart his career. Most of us will never compete for a national championship or have our stories featured in a movie. However, all of us will be challenged to make comebacks in one form or another. American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “there are no second acts in American lives,” but I beg to differ. Many of us not only have second acts in our lives, but also three, four or more as we have to come back from adversities. All comebacks begin with mental toughness, which means not allowing anything or anyone to get into your mind that will affect you negatively. The mind is never a vacuum. It either contains losing thoughts or winning thoughts. Mental toughness is the process of using the positive to push out the negative. It happens in the mind before it happens in the body. The mantra of many athletes is “refuse to lose,” which replicates apostle Paul’s quote in Philippians, “...whatever it takes, I will be one who

lives in the fresh newness of life...” When asked about Connecticut’s turnaround, playmaker Maya Moore said, ”We left that first-half team in the locker room and came out with a new mind set... with an attack mentality. We knew we were capable of so much more. It was just a matter of executing like we knew we could.” We all get knocked down. But we can prevent the indignity of failure from keeping us down. We can pick ourselves back up and go again as we decide to fight for what we want. We consider where we have been, where we are now and what brought us here. We consider where we want to go and what it is going to take to get there. In a way, we need to get mad — and then take action to turn the madness into gladness with a resolve that nothing or nobody will stop us. Pain, failure, loss and embarrassment can be great motivators. “Be Creative” is a principle I emphasize in my “A Strategy For Winning” book and program. When we need to make a comeback is when we must really concentrate on creativity. The wise player determines not to duplicate the same mistakes. He analyzes how he got knocked down and then charts a course that will help him rise again. Once you regain your momentum and get on top of things, don’t take it for granted. Keep in mind that great opportunities abound in the downtimes and that great dangers abound in the uptimes. © 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www. MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, “A Strategy For Winning.” E-mail to carlmays@carlmays.com, call 436-7478 or visit www.carlmays.com.

sitting over there,� he said. “Wesley, I’ve got a horse-drawn sub soiler over there in that pile of junk.� Breeden said he’s been leading a team, like the one he used Wednesday as a hobby, for about 30 years. Like Leatherwood, it takes him back to his childhood. Good memories come back, he said, when he’s working a field. “We didn’t have no worries, everyday worldly problems like we do today,� he said of when he grew up farming corn, potatoes and tobacco. Riding behind the mules, he said, is peaceful. “You concentrate on what you’re doing; you don’t worry about stuff,� he said. On Wednesday, Breeden’s job was to help spread the natural fertilizer grazing cows had already deposited in the hay field and pasture of the farm. Job may not be the right word, since he wasn’t getting paid. “No, he’s just letting me play on his property,� Breeden said of Leatherwood. “No, I should be paying Wesley,� Leatherwood said. “It’s such a pleasure for me for Wesley to come up here. I enjoy it. If I miss them, I just get down and out and I missed them last year. “Anybody else that’s got mules in the county and wants to come up here and play or exercise their livestock is more than welcome.� The work being done by Breeden will help feed the cattle raised by David Newman, who leases the land from Leatherwood for cattle and hay. “David has ruck hay, bailed hay and mowed hay here for all his adult life,� Leatherwood said. The process that

Dear Annie: A while back, I went on Facebook and found many friends I had not heard from in years. My 21-year-old granddaughter sent me a message that she wanted to “befriend me,” and I agreed. “Nicole” is a college student and lives about an hour away. I soon began receiving notes in which Nicole swore and made crude remarks. I told her to watch what she wrote, as she should not do this online or off, and reminded her that those messages could be seen by everyone in the family. However, she kept it up, so my husband wrote saying that such terribly crude comments could not be coming from the girl he knew. I did the only thing I could to save her reputation with my family and took her off my list of friends. Prior to this, Nicole had stopped calling us, never came to visit (except on Christmas, which she said she did not enjoy and was glad when it was over) and didn’t return any of our calls. We talked to our daughter (Nicole’s mother) about this, and she said there was nothing she could do. I wanted my daughter to tell Nicole that what she says online could hurt her in the future, and that swearing is not the way to get her point across. She sounds angry at the world. What can I do? — It’s Cold in Maine Dear Maine: Nothing. You have told Nicole how you feel, and you have expressed your disappointment to her mother. You cannot protect the girl from her own foolishness, so we urge you to back off before it further damages your relation-

ship. Since her Facebook postings are so troublesome, you were smart to remove her from your friend list. Now forget about it. Dear Annie: I am in my late 50s. I lived by myself for 10 years before my significant other moved in six years ago. Sometimes I long for the days when I was alone. I am not sure whether I really want him here or not. I know it would be hard to live by myself again, do all the house maintenance and go out socially as often. But I still do all the laundry, grocery shopping and cleaning. I guess my question is, do other people find that the person they live with drives them crazy? I hate the way he smells when he hasn’t showered. I don’t like him walking on my clean floors with wet boots. His constant embellishments annoy me to the point where I don’t believe anything he says. He also talks too loudly. I’ve never seen a person try so hard to please me, but I attribute that to his not wanting me to throw him out. He’s said as much. Inside my head, I’m constantly complaining about him and wonder whether there’s anybody better. I don’t think he can change. But I probably would miss him if he were gone. Should I just settle for what I have? — Always Wondering

Dear Always: How romantic. Living with someone requires developing a tolerance for their annoying habits. We’re sure you have some, too. However, it doesn’t sound as if your affection can overcome your irritation. Yes, of course you’d miss him, so weigh the pros and cons and choose what makes you happiest. Dear Annie: I never miss your column. You always offer sound advice that seems so apparent. I just read the column that included a letter about a flexitarian not finding appropriate food and another from someone bothered by office smokers. Both letters were all about “ME.” Some people need to get off their high horses and become a little more tolerant. — A Loyal Reader in Louisville, Ky. Dear Loyal Reader: Tolerance is an admirable trait, but there are limits. One should not have to tolerate things that are dangerous to one’s health or against the law. And it is a kindness to accommodate the preferences of someone you care about. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
