County mulls prayer suit options

INSIDE

SEVIERVILLE — As a Washington-based legal group prepares to launch a First Amendment lawsuit against the county, officials here have already started weighing their legal options, having talked to an organization that defends in such actions. Though there has been no agreement with the Alliance

Defense Fund, County Mayor Larry Waters confirms he’s met with representatives from the agency to get a little guidance on a church and state debate that has embroiled local officials. “I have spoken with them,” Waters said Monday. “Nobody’s been retained, I have just talked to some of their folks about the situation and what the courts have said about legislative bodies opening with prayer and the Ten Commandments in public

places.” The county is facing a push from another legal group that deals in First Amendment issues, specifically those related to the interaction of religion and government. Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) maintains the county is in violation of the so-called “Establishment Clause,” the first line of the Bill of Rights that is often cited in such cases. “Congress shall make no law

respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” the phrase reads. The folks at AU argue that stipulation would prohibit practices like that of the County Commission to regularly recite a prayer from one religion to the exclusion of others. The group has long started its meetings by standing to say the Lord’s Prayer, See PRAYER, Page A5

Sevierville firefighters train on getting a victim from under a car that is setting on a slope. With recent training classes taken by Capt. Lynn Rawlings and firefighter John French the rescue time was cut by twothirds on the first try.

SEVIERVILLE — New training in vehicle extrication techniques could cut valuable minutes from the process as firefighters work to save lives during the moments after life-threatening injuries. Every emergency professional knows the quicker a patient can be delivered to a trauma center, the better the patient’s chances of survival become. But extrications have become increasingly complicated, as automobile manufacturers use stronger materials and new techniques in their own effort to make vehicles safer. Local firefighters are trying to stay up to date on the latest techniques; the Sevier County Fire Chief’s Association has been paying to have training officers get additional instruction on new ideas and to teach them during recertification for different courses, including extrication. “Our goal is to get the patient on an operating at The University of Tennessee Medical Center within an hour,” said Lynn Rawlings, who recently led a recertification session for the Sevierville Fire Department after attending a seminar paid for by the association. Firefighters and other emergency responders are constantly refining techniques and encountering new obstacles, he explained, and they try to share what they learn as quickly as possible.

Aggravated assault charged after shots fired at car By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — A man who allegedly fired a revolver at a car in a gas station parking lot is facing charges of aggravated assault.

Linwood E. Roberts Jr., 30, was arrested shortly after the incident at the Fastop at 2060 Pittman Center Road. Witnesses told police they heard shots fired in the parking lot, and saw the man who they believe to have fired the weapon leaving on

Unemployment rate drops; 400 more have jobs in March By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer For one of only a few times since the start of the current recession, Sevier County’s unemployment rate for a month compared favorably to the number for the same month the preceding year, with March’s 13.9 figure 0.4 percent lower than the one for March 2009. The number decreased 1.4 percent between the two months, falling from 15.3 to 13.9 percent. That means about 400 local residents found jobs in March, according to preliminary data from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The drop is better than last year’s February to March difference, which registered at just 0.8 percent. While February this year brought a higher rate than the one before it, that larger

drop, which signifies local businesses filling more jobs in 2010 than 2009, helped move the March number lower than the year before when a 14.3 rate prevailed in March. The drop actually compares pretty favorably even with those registered in years before the recession set in. While the March number is nearly twice the figure for the same month in 2007, the drop between the two months that year was 1.6 percent, just 0.2 percent more than this year’s. The area has typically posted considerable decreases in the number in April and May, when everything locally is getting back into full swing. While Dollywood is open now, it’s still not up to full staff and its accompanying water park won’t welcome visitors until next month. Likewise, See UNEMPLOYMENT, Page A5

foot as the white Honda car he fired at was speeding away. The manager of the store got everyone inside and contacted police, dispatchers said. The incident happened at about 11:30 a.m., said Bob Stahlke, public information officer for the city.

It wasn’t clear Monday afternoon what led to the incident, Stahlke said. “According to the information we have right now, the only person who fired any shots was See ASSAULT, Page A4

County Commission candidates quizzed on issues EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in a series on candidates for the Sevier County Commission. These are candidates for District 9, Seat A. The same set of questions was sent by The Mountain Press to all candidates in contested races in the May 4 primary. Answers are published in their entirety. District 9 includes the Seymour area.

9th District, Seat A

1. What do you think the biggest issues facing the county will be in the next four years? SHANE LUTTRELL: I think one of the bigger issues facing the county will be trying to diversify its business base to try and incorporate other things besides tourism. While tourism is a big part of the county’s economy, we still must look for other industries and services where we can excel in the attraction of new business. Another big issue is the fact that we must invest time to educate our workforce to new concepts and have them prepared to enter new business segments. We must always keep bench strength when it comes to new employment; educating and training our young people should also remain a high priority. BUSTER NORTON: 1) Handling all the frivolous lawsuits. 2) Funding all the infrastructure we have and need to expand. To keep up with the growth we have experienced and are going to experience in the next few years. 3) Maintain good roads, schools, police protection and all emergency service agencies as well as city/ county services such as water/sewer. 2. Do you support purchasing more industrial property, even in a slow economy? shane luttrell: Yes. I do feel it is important to further develop our business infrastructure thru land acquisitions. The slow economy is a precursor to favorable profits on business development thru these land purchases. Sevier County can position itself as a growing area and use these land purchases to attract industrial customers to our area. We must not only depend on tourist revenue to grow our county. BUSTER NORTON: The property may be cheaper now with building down; I do not support buying property out of county now and letting it lay undeveloped. I would support purchasing property with county money if we could build on it quickly and create jobs. 3. What do you think Sevier County should do to give itself a more

year-round economy? SHANE LUTTRELL: Simply this: Attract more businesses to our area thru partnerships. Knox County has been successful in landing some companies as well as Chattanooga. We need to visit with those folks and see how they approach these things. We will not be able to move to this model unless we are going after new business and new sectors. As a county commissioner, you will hold a key role in the development and recruitment of small business to your area. BUSTER NORTON: Instead of closing factories, we need more in order to expand the types of jobs available to our citizens and provide better wages. 4. Some counties in the state are facing financial challenges that may lead to cuts. What is your assessment of Sevier County’s financial situation? SHANE LUTTRELL: Sevier County had assets of over $203 million in 2009; a large part of this is real estate and equipment. Net assets also increased by approximately .6 percent from 2008 to 2009 (approx. &69 million). One area that saw a decrease was taxes collected; approximately $9 million less in 2009 than 2008. This is an obvious concern, especially since the area

of expenditures rose slightly in that same time period. Unemployment still figures to be a harsh reality concerning tax collections; 2010 will definitely be affected by high unemployment. I do think that the condition of the county is sound, and will advance further if we take the time to diversify our business base outside of just tourism. BUSTER NORTON: By being on budget we are down on revenue, sales tax. We have to be very careful not to waste money. We need to cut all the corners we can and not spend money on things we can put off.

5. The county has no nepotism policy or a policy that limits county employees from holding office. Should there be a policy that addresses this issue? SHANE LUTTRELL: Anytime that you allow this type of policy, people will find a way to exploit it for their own personal benefit. That is an unfortunate behavior, but one that has to be addressed. I do not think that you should work for family in a county job. I do not think that a county employee should be able

Annual Community Choral Sing set for May 2 Submitted report SEVIERVILLE — This is the 47th year of the Community Choral Sing, which has scheduled its program May 2. It was known originally as the Music and Arts Festival. Several groups have sponsored the festival and many individuals have worked to see that it was a representation of the area and that its arts and music was alive and well

in Sevier County. Some of the groups that have sponsored and planned the festival in the past are the Manthano Club, the Downtown Association and the Tuesday Evening Music Club. For the past four years, each church participant has collectively sponsored the event. Sacred music brings people together to share their Christian faith. This choral festival includes seven area choirs: First Baptist

Sevierville, First United Methodist Sevierville, St. Joseph Episcopal Sevierville, New Hope Church of God in Kodak, First Presbyterian Sevierville, The Gathering in Sevierville and Parkway Church of God in Sevierville. These churches come together to share the different sounds of their faith. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church, 317 Parkway, Sevierville. Admission is free.

Editor’s Note: The following information was taken from the intake reports at the Sevier County Jail.

through compromise or change? SHANE LUTTRELL: I think the mayor did the right thing. The majority of the people in this area are God-fearing, including myself. I simply do not see any way that we can stop doing this. I think we must wait and see what comes of this from the people who are telling us to stop. I would have to check with the county attorney to see the legality of the claims and what can be done to defend this. I do not think this is something that we can simply give up; we must fight for what we believe in. BUSTER NORTON: No. We have to do what it takes to fight this. We have to have the people in the county behind us.

The county must ensure that property values are not diminished thru bad regulation. The people in my district are simply worried about their land values. It is my opinion that the county must have a planning commission in place as well as a - or 10-year growth plan. I am not in favor of more government control of people’s lives. I am, how-

ever, concerned about actions that would happen to lower a person’s property values. I think that the citizens of the county or district that a zoning change effects should be able to be heard at meetings and their wishes taken into deep consideration. The county must act as a policing body only to ensure the fairness and feasibility of regulations

on development. We must encourage development and not chase it off. BUSTER NORTON: I have served on the Planning Commission for two terms. I think we need stronger rules for hillside development. I think we need to regulate the development of land. We do not need to disturb any more than we have to.

Memoriam

In Memoriam

The family of Deanna (Starcher) Sorge would like to thank all those who attended her memorial service on Monday evening. The love and respect represented by your attendance was very comforting in our time of sorrow. She was truly blessed to have known such affection. Thank you to the management and staff of the Music Road Hotel for a wonderful service that truly captured the joy of Deannasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life. Your hospitality and generosity are greatly appreciated. We would like to extend special thanks to Karen Nelson, Carol Huntley, Sally Lane, and all those associated with Mountain Quiltfest 2010. It was an honor to exhibit our family quilt collection at this years show. Anyone who saw Deannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face that week knows how happy it made her to share this special gift with so many others. Over the last four years, Deanna had developed an appreciation for not only the patience and skill that goes into a quilts creation but, that behind each quilt, lies a special meaning. Her grandmother, Ruby Wright, lovingly crafted this collection more than 50 years ago, with explicit instruction directing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distribution between her children and grandchildren. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention is to remind us that, no matter what may happen in our life journey, a family is bound together by love alone. Mountain Quiltfest 2010 was the first ever showing of this spectacular collection. As many of you know, it was Deannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire that this collection be exhibited elsewhere so that countless others may enjoy its beauty and craftsmanship. Then, at a future time, it was to be donated to the WV Culture and History Museum so that it might bring joy to others for years to come. As her family, we had planned to exhibit the entire collection as per her wishes. Unfortunately, her estate has chosen not to allow her quilts to remain a part of this cherished family heirloom. The remainder of the collection shall be exhibited as a special memorial tribute to Deannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Interest in hosting this special exhibit has already been shown by major quilt shows in both Indiana and Vermont. Only two short days prior to her death, as she lay in her hospital bed, Deanna anxiously checked her cell phone in anticipation of a call from a tour group she was unable to personally attend to. After the call, when asked how things went, she gave a confident â&#x20AC;&#x153;double thumbs upâ&#x20AC;? indicating that all had gone well. It was truly humbling to see that, even when faced with the greatest of obstacles, Deannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one concern was the happiness of others. Once again, it is with immense gratitude that we thank you for your love and support during this tragic time. May God bless you all. Janet Starcher - Mother Larry Starcher - Brother

Study: Bad habits can age person up to a dozen years

UNEMPLOYMENT 3From Page A1

many businesses don’t get up to their full staff levels until May or early June, with schools letting out about that time and the summer vacation season getting into full swing. The 13.9 percent number is representative of an estimated 6,720 Sevier County residents who remained out of work in March. While it’s certainly far from a good figure, it’s much better than the state’s worst rate, which Scott County registered with a 19.8 percent unemployment number. Three other counties topped 18 percent, while all but one of the counties with the worst unemployment figures had rates above 17 percent. Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale is Lincoln County, which recorded a 7.4 percent rate, followed by Williamson at 8.1 and Knox at 8.2. Even in that upper list the numbers aren’t stunning, with the No. 10 place held by Wilson County, which had 9.6 percent of its population out of work. Among Sevier County’s neighbors, the news was mixed. Knox was one of two counties in the area that actually had a higher number in 2010 than in March 2009, when the figure was 7.9 percent. The other was Jefferson County, which was up 0.4 percent from 2009 but down 0.5 percent from February with a March number of 14.2. Meanwhile, Blount County was down 0.2 percent from February and 0.3 percent from March 2009 with its 10.2 percent figure. Cocke

In some ways, working on extrications is a constant physics lesson, and that’s part of the newest lessons they were teaching during the recent training session. During one scenario, they were tasked with extricating a victim on a slope with a car on top of them. Using traditional techniques, it took 18 to 35 minutes to safely remove the patient from the wreckage. Using the techniques Rawlings had just learned, they completed the same task in six minutes. That’s a major difference when seconds can count, and that’s the point of the training, he said. “We’re continually improving our knowledge, and we’re constantly spreading the knowledge through recertification,” he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

ied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 91 died during the study, or 29 percent. The risky behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily. County’s number tumbled 0.5 percent between the two months to land at 15.7, a figure a full 1 percent below March 2009. Statewide the rate fell in 78 counties, increased in 10 and stayed level in seven. That added up to a 0.3 percent decrease in Tennessee’s non-seasonally adjusted number between the two months, with a March figure of 10.8 percent. That’s still higher than the 10.6 percent for March 2009. The national number also decreased, with a drop of 0.2 percent registered between the two months. The 10.2 percent number in March was 1.2 percent higher than for the same month one year prior. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

CHICAGO (AP) — Four common bad habits combined — smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet — can age you by 12 years, sobering new research suggests.

inviting those in attendance to join in. In addition to only using the Christian invocation, a practice AU Senior Litigation Counsel Alex Luchenitser argues amounts to “an establishment of religion,” the county has also been faulted for displaying a depiction of Jesus, accompanied by the text of the prayer and the Ten Commandments. Both those issues were raised by a local resident who filed a complaint with AU, according to Luchenitser. As Luchenitser has made it clear the group is gearing up for a court battle over the matter, Waters has maintained the county is on solid ground with the practice and vowed to fight AU. In that interest, Waters talked to the representatives from the Alliance Defense Fund, a group that describes itself as a “legal ministry” and specializes in this type of suit, offering legal counseling and even representation in cases they believe, like AU, threaten to undermine freedom of religion. The major difference is the groups, both funded by private dona-

tions, sit on opposite sides of the courtroom in those cases, with Alliance run as a program meant to defend what its leaders see as the erosion of free practice of the Christian religion. Waters said he was encouraged by the discussion with the Alliance representatives, saying they pointed out cases in which American courts have upheld the practice of legislative groups opening their sessions with prayers, as well as one in which a Ten Commandments display by a government entity was allowed to stand. “What I got out of the meeting is it depends on the circumstances,” Waters said. “There are different factors that determine the outcomes of those cases.” In looking at the local situation and its own factors, Waters said the Alliance Defense Fund, which has a field office in Memphis, representatives didn’t offer a full evaluation, but did give Waters reason to be hopeful. “I don’t recall them giving an overall opinion,” Waters said. “They told me there are items that might be positive in the court’s eyes and some items that might be negative in the court’s eyes.”

If the county does end up having to fight a battle in court, the Alliance Defense Fund’s Web site makes it clear it will not get involved unless it deems the case landmark enough to warrant it. The group was founded about a decade and a half ago by a group of Christian ministries with the stated goal of counteracting the American Civil Liberties Union, which is not involved in the local debate, in issues of “fam-

ily values.” The Alliance, a conservative organization, has also placed itself in the middle of battles over abortion and gay rights. For the time being, it’s unclear where the local fight will go, with the county having received nothing new from AU since a pair of letters a couple months ago. “We’re just waiting to see what happens,” Waters said. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Final arguments given in Palin case KNOXVILLE (AP) — A former University of Tennessee student charged with hacking Sarah Palin’s e-mail chose to not testify at his trial, while his lawyer said Monday that the defendant guessed his way into the e-mail during a prank. Jurors were scheduled to begin deliberating Tuesday on the four felony charges against David Kernell, including identity theft. Both sides gave closing arguments Monday, capping several days of testimony by witnesses includ-

ing Palin and her daughter, Bristol. “David Kernell at the age of 20 made some bad choices,” defense attorney Wade Davies said Monday, also describing Kernell’s actions as “some stupid decisions.” Convictions on all counts carry a combined maximum sentence of as many as 50 years in prison. Davies told the jury of eight men and six women — some who took notes in the fifth day of the trial — that “not every choice we make at age 20 defines who we are.” He said there was

But Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle told jurors that Kernell “set out to do something malicious, from the beginning.” Weddle said evidence from Kernell’s laptop computer and records of online services show Kernell had a plan to derail Palin’s campaign when she was the Republican vice presidential candidate. “There’s nothing childish about this,” Weddle said.

Stephen Hawking

LONDON — British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says aliens are out there, but it could be too dangerous for humans to interact with extraterrestrial life. Hawking claims in a new documentary that intelligent alien lifeforms almost cerHawking tainly exist, but warns that communicating with them could be “too risky.” The 68-year-old scientist says a visit by extraterrestrials to Earth would be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas, “which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.” He speculates most extraterrestrial life will be similar to microbes, or small animals — but adds advanced lifeforms may be “nomads, looking to conquer and colonize.” The Discovery Channel said Sunday it will broadcast “Stephen Hawking’s Universe” in Britain next month.

commentary

European guidelines now a joke I thought at first it was a joke. “The European Union has declared travelling a human right, and is launching a scheme to subsidize vacations with taxpayers’ dollars” for the poor, the elderly, for young people ages 18 to 25, for the disabled and others with undefined social distresses, the press reported. Antonio Tajani, the man appointed by Silvio Berlusconi as EU commissioner for enterprise and industry, is standing tall for the proud new human right “to be tourists.” As a Tajani spokesman said: “Why should someone from the Mediterranean not be able to travel to Edinburgh in summer for a breath of cool, fresh air; why should someone from Edinburgh not be able to travel to Greece in winter?” It has to be a joke, but it’s not; it’s an Italian’s idea of promoting enterprise and industry. Taxpayersubsidized beach vacations for all! Europe has become a parody of itself. But before we laugh too hard at our brothers across the pond, consider a more American iteration of the same impulse to expand human rights: “gender expression.” The Maine Human Rights Commission announced plans to give every person in Maine the right to express his or her gender at will, eliminating the right of schools or colleges to establish some standard for who counts as a transgendered person. Transsexual is so last century. Why insist on surgical reassignment of gender? Why not just embrace the new gender fluidity? In Maine, basic human rights include the right to get up in the morning and decide what gender you feel like expressing that day. Government, in this view, has no business keeping the boys out of the girls’ bathroom, or even the showers in the girls’ locker rooms. The new guidelines were spurred after a ruling last year that the Maine Human Rights Act required letting a 12-year-old transgender boy use the girls’ bathroom in public school. With commendable purity of principle and comedic lack of common sense, the Maine Human Rights Commission went on to opine that gender divisions ought not be used in sports teams, school organizations, locker rooms or showers, either. Forcing a student to use a particular room based on his or her biological gender was discrimination -- a violation of basic human rights. A boy had the right to shower with the girls if he was feeling female that day. (After Fox News picked up the story, the commission announced this week it was postponing work on the guidelines.) Now the shrinks are getting into the fray. The American Psychiatric Association is in the middle of massive revisions to its Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders. A proposal to relabel “gender identity disorder” as “gender incongruence” is sparking a heated dispute, but not along the usual fault lines. Today’s culture war is a fight between those who want gender identity disorder to follow homosexuality all the way out of the mental disorder box, and those who prefer their human rights with public subsidies attached. Many gender-fluid people live happily without ever seeing a psychologist, Oakland, Calif., psychologist Diane Ehrensaft -- who opposes any mental disorder around gender identity and expression in the manual -- told LiveScience. “Our job is to support children, adolescents and adults to be able to carve their own path.” There’s just one problem with this progressive strategy: If gender identity is not a disorder, then insurance won’t pay for sex-reassignment surgery or hormone therapy. How to keep the perks of having your orientation defined as a mental illness while losing the social stigma? Aye, there’s the rub. The new human rights battle for the 21st century has begun. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

Slide on over

It’s great to have I-40 open again at the Tennessee-North Carolina line It took six months, $13 million and a heap of frustration, but Interstate 40 is now open all the way from here to Asheville. President Eisenhower’s idea of an interstate transit system may be his greatest presidential legacy, but when one of them has to close, it brings about chaos and irritation. I-40 was shut down last Oct. 25 when a rockslide blocked the road. Nobody got killed, which is lucky, but shutting down this main artery connecting Tennessee and North Carolina sent motorists on a circuitous route north on I-81, across to I-26 and then down to Asheville. There were some alternate routes, but none was as desired as the interstate. As weeks dragged into months, through Christmas, the frustration grew. The North Carolina Department of Transportation spent almost $13 million to hire a company to fix the road and stabilize the slide.

Why was it taking so long? There were some who whispered conspiracy, that the delays were on purpose to somehow thwart tourism and convenience. Amazing the tales that surface in a crisis. This stretch of highway carries 19,000 vehicles a day, about half of them commercial trucks. The detour added some 60 miles to the route. Those trucks couldn’t go over the mountain through the Smokies, and they were discouraged from taking 25/70 through Newport. This was a real mess. But, like an athlete who endures knee surgery and painful therapy to get back on the field, all is forgotten when things return to normal. On Sunday night the road was reopened, although westbound traffic is narrowed to one lane for about three miles while workers continue to stabilize the rocks. Loads wider than 12 feet still must take

the detour if going westbound. Looks like we won’t get both lanes open headed to Tennessee until summer at the earliest. Still, the road is open, it’s been declared safe and all is forgiven for the time it took to repair it. Of course, given the number of rockslides that have occurred elsewhere, including several in Sevier County, we may see this happen again. I-40 around the North Carolina line has a lot of rock walls, and we’ve had a lot of rain. Rockslides are not uncommon in this section of the interstate; we may be clear for now, but no guarantees it’s permanent. That’s all conjecture. For now let’s just celebrate the reopening of the interstate and enjoy the return to he shortest distance between two points. If you’ve ever been on this road, you know it’s no straight line, but it’s the next best thing.

Elected ‘leeches’ go to any length to prove stupidity

Editor: How do we always manage to send such mindlessness to state and federal offices? This latest garbage shows just what extent our elected leeches run to. Has any one of them considered that giant list of means around this stupidity? Let’s see, first here is the simplest: just stop offering breakfast or any other meal and fire the cooks, etc. Then there’s selling the meal as a $1 option. Just a quick thought. Oh, I forgot these idiots in their dreamland might not even be able to read truth as the simplest of wisdom. You know what I mean: common sense. D. David Darcy Gatlinburg

Cardiac kids come back again Bears dig 4-run hole, battle back to beat Eagles 8-5 By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — One thing’s for sure, to be a Sevier County baseball fan, you need a good ticker. As is turning into a theme for the Purple and White, SCHS spotted a good opponent a big early lead, just to come back and win. In yet another SCHS/ Seymour diamond classic, Sevier County (21-8, 9-3 in IMAC play) came back over Seymour (18-7, 9-3) Monday night, 8-5, to take an all-important conference game from the Eagles. “(Seymour) had a great effort, they jumped on us with both feet,” SCHS coach Lance Traywick said. “But we don’t back down from anybody. We expect to win. These guys have a lot of fight in them.” Freshman Dillon Cate, who looked to be the early goat for the Bears after giving up four quick runs to Seymour on the mound, turned out to be a hero for the Smoky Bears. With his team having already plated two second inning runs to cut the deficit to 4-2, Cate stepped to the

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

A crowd of SCHS Smoky Bears await left fielder Zach Flynn (8) at the plate after he hit a massive 2-run homer in the bottom of the fourth inning Monday night at Cliff Davis Field to give the Bears an 8-4 lead against cross-county rival Seymour. Sevier County ended up winning by a count of 8-5. plate in a pressure packed situation —bases loaded and two outs. After getting down in the county early, Cate drilled a 2-2 slider into the gap to score all three Bears baserunners, pushing his team out on top 6-4 and officially getting himself off the hook. “He had a bad outing on the mound, and he could have dropped his head, but

he had the mental toughness to come up and have a great at-bat, and he cashed in,” Traywick said. In the meantime, senior Michael Farragut was doing yeoman’s work on the mound. After coming on in relief of Cate in the second inning, Farragut was retiring an extremely dangerous Seymour lineup and doing well to keep them off the

scoreboard. Then, in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Bears hitters gave him two more runs of insurance. After junior Kelby Carr worked the count and drilled an infield single up the middle, SCHS slugger Zach Flynn came to the plate. Flynn, who’d already earned an RBI with a bases loaded walk in the second,

crushed a Keegan Newport pitch over the wall in rightcenter field for a two-run homer, sending the Smoky Bear faithful into fits of joy. Seymour was finally able to get to Farragut in the top of the fifth, as Newport led off the inning with a double. After a Cory Clark single moved Newport to third, sophomore second baseman Ben Whisler drove him in

with a fielder’s choice to the right side of the diamond, making the score 8-5. But there it would stay, as Farragut would induce the next two Eagles’ hitters into easy outs to retire the side. Farragut would strand two more hitters in the top of the sixth. Down to their final raps in the seventh, Whisler walked for the Eagles, but Farragut closed the door, striking out three in the final frame to end the game. Farragut picked up the win on the mound, going 5 2/3 innings and giving up one run, while fanning seven. “Michael Farragut does what a captain, a leader, what a Smoky Bear does. He competed his butt off,” Traywick said. Newport suffered the loss in relief of starter Brandon Timmerman, who was charged with Sevier County’s first five runs. The night wasn’t all bad for Newport, however. He helped Seymour out to their early lead, bashing a 3-run opposite field home run in the first, just moments after a Timmerman double. The two teams will go at it again tonight at Seymour at 7 p.m. in a very important IMAC matchup. “I’m expecting a dog-fight over there tomorrow night. They’re going to be twice as good tomorrow night,” Traywick added. “We’re going to have to bring our A-game. “We’re going to have to come ready from the first pitch, not the third inning.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

Monday night road loss. Jefferson County jumped to a 3-0 lead by intermission with goals at the 30:59, 29:39 and 11:44 marks of the first half. G-P had its best scoring opportunity of the night blocked by the Jeff County keeper at the 26:09 mark of the second

half, when Blue-and-Gold sophomore Ridge Ramsey broke away from the pack and fired a one-on-one liner for the upper left corner of the Patriots goal from about 20 yards out. The sweet save kept the Highlanders in a 3-0 hole and cut off any hopes of a momentum change. Jefferson County went

Rennie Leon/Tennessee Smokies

Tennessee shortstop Starlin Castro’s 10-game hitting streak may have been snapped Sunday in the Smokies’ first game against Birmingham, but the Cubs’ top prospect is still leading the Southern League with 26 base hits.

SEVIERVILLE — Following the end of their seven-game winning streak in a 4-3 Game 1 loss Sunday, the Tennessee Smokies rebounded with a 9-7 win in Game 2 of a doubleheader with the visiting Birmingham Barons. The split at Smokies Park was enough to keep the Smokies at the top of the minor league with a season’s-best 14-3 record on the year. Birmingham moved to 3-13. The Smokies got off to a promising start Sunday, as Southern League Hitter of the Week Robinson Chirinos clobbered a threerun shot in the first off Barons starter Matt Long. However, the Smokies offense failed to deliver much else for starter Andrew Cashner, as Birmingham’s Long and relievers Miguel Socolovich (1-1) and Rick Brooks (S, 1) kept the Smokies in check for the rest of Game 1. Cashner (1-1) lacked consistent command in his

fourth start of the season, allowing four runs on nine hits in a complete-game Game 1 loss. The Southern League’s strikeout leader fanned four Barons on the afternoon. Chirinos kicked off a six-run second inning for Tennessee in Game 2 with a run-scoring single off Barons’ starter Anthony Carter. Chirinos reached base five times Sunday, extending his hitting streak to 12 games in the process. Two late and costly errors proved to be the difference in Game 2, as Tennessee took advantage of the multiple Baron miscues in the bottom of the sixth against Birmingham reliever Joe Torres (0-1). Jake Muyco (1-0) picked up the win with Dustin Sasser (S, 2) earning his second save of 2010. Ty Wright continued to pulverize opposing pitching with four hits and two RBIs on Sunday. The left fielder leads the Southern League with 20 RBIs.

Starlin Castro’s 10-game hit streak came to an end in Game 1, but the Cubs’ top prospect still leads all Southern League batters with 26 hits. Notes: The Smokies added LHP Scott Maine to the active roster in advance of the team’s Sunday afternoon doubleheader against the Birmingham Barons. In a related roster move, LHP Jeremy Papelbon was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, April 21. Maine joins the Smokies for the first time in his career after starting the 2010 season with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. He spent the 2009 campaign with the Reno Aces, Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Maine was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth round of the 2007 MLB First-Year Player Draft. The Cubs acquired him from Arizona with infielder Ryne White, for pitcher Aaron Heilman.

Dear Annie: I am 18 and have been in a relationship with “Justin” since I was 15. I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Justin would do anything for me. We love each other’s families and friends, too. Let’s just say I feel married. But lately, I feel like we should have some space. Justin doesn’t agree. He says once we’re apart, he will leave for good. He doesn’t understand why we need this. He doesn’t believe in breaks. However, I think it would make us realize whether we really are meant for each other, instead of wondering when we’re much older and it’s too late. I don’t want to lose Justin forever, but I can’t help the way I feel. Do I stay in this relationship and make the best of it? After all, we do love each other. Or do I take the chance of giving myself some space and risk losing him for good? -- Terrified and Confused in Canada Dear Canada: Take the risk. If you are feeling boxed in now, it will only get worse over time and destroy the relationship when the stakes are higher. You both deserve the chance to see what else is out there before making a commitment to each other, especially since you haven’t had the opportunity before. Justin is issuing ultimatums because he is scared. You’ve been together a long time, and it can be daunting to give up the familiar for the new. And yes, there is a possibility you won’t get back together. But if you don’t give yourself some space now, you are likely to regret it later.

Dear Annie: My wife has early Alzheimer’s, which is not noticeable by casual friends. The problem is that serving on committees, hosting arrangements, taking telephone messages and organizing programs are beyond her ability to handle. I make sure these requests are turned down, but I have a strong urge to explain why and then feel guilty if I tell. Do you have any suggestions that would help me decide when to explain and when to withhold this information? -- Loyal Husband Dear Husband: According to Beth Kallmyer, MSW, senior director of constituent services at the Alzheimer’s Association, when to share a diagnosis is a personal decision that differs for everyone. While it is important for people with Alzheimer’s to remain engaged in meaningful activities, the opportunities should match your wife’s current skill set. Consider having a conversation with her, and together decide who to tell and how. Sharing this information with close friends or family is often a good place to start. If either you or your wife feels uncomfortable sharing her diagnosis with a wider circle, you could agree upon a response, such as, “After many years of leading committees and organizing programs, my wife has

decided to step down so she can concentrate on her hobbies. She would still love to participate, so please keep her on your invitation list.” For more information, visit the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) at 1-800- 2723900. Dear Annie: “Married and Alone” could have been me 60 years ago. I used to become terribly upset with my husband because he never gave me cards or gifts on special occasions. I would get so hurt that I would cry. One day, my husband took me in his arms and said, “Honey, wouldn’t you rather that I love you every day of the year and not just two or three?” It is now a running joke in our home for me to buy myself a gift and thank him for his wonderful taste. Once in a great while, I will get a Valentine’s Day card. But for 60 years, he has given me that adoring look that says “I love you.” That is so much better than any card or gift. -- Loving that Man of Mine in Ithaca, N.Y.

Legislature studies funding for pre-k NASHVILLE (AP) — House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada says the funding mechanism for Tennessee’s prekindergarten program is among the budget cutting options being considered by the GOP. Republicans have been working to craft an alternative to Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen’s proposal to lift a sales tax cap for big ticket items to help bridge an $85 million budget shortfall. Casada said the GOP proposal originally promised by the end of last week would not be revealed until at least Tuesday. He wouldn’t say which specific changes are being considered for the state’s $83 million pre-K program.
