SEVIERVILLE — The second day of the trial of Sevierville Dr. Rodney Carter proved grueling and graphic, as attorneys for both sides spent about eight and a half hours discussing incidents in which four of Carter’s patients claim he acted in a sexually inappropriate manner.

Testimony on Thursday included statements from three of those four young men and four local doctors who served as medical expert witnesses, with the prosecution resting at 5 p.m. Defense attorney Bryan Delius got in only one of the 30 witnesses said to be on his list before Judge Richard Vance wrapped up the proceedings for the day.

Assistant District Attorney General Steve Hawkins continued to push allegations that Carter performed unnecessary rectal examinations on the teenagers, while Delius worked to prove the checks were medically needed and the teens simply misunderstood what was happening. At times the 10 men and six women on the jury shook their heads or squirmed in their seats as the testimony proceeded and Vance at one point had to remind those in the audience to remain quiet after several reacted to one man’s statements.

First to take the stand was Dr. Robert Beam, a Seymour physician who began treating one of Carter’s patients after he stopped going to see Carter. He testified that the young man, who was the only victim to take the stand on Jason Davis/The Mountain Press Wednesday, told him about an incident he alleges happened with State’s expert witness Dr. Eric Littleton listens to questions during cross-examination Carter that made him stop seeing from defense attorney Bryan Delius. In the photo Delius is holding a swab used to perform male genital examinations, something that Littleton was questioned about. the doctor.

Optimists even sell the sink to help area youth

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer KODAK — If the folks running the yard sale off West Dumplin Valley Road last weekend were particularly hopeful what they were doing would ultimately mean very good things for some local children, it would be hard to blame them. They are, after all, Optimists.

Members of the Northview Optimist Club, that is, who gathered at their headquarters last Friday and Saturday to run the rummage. Their efforts raised nearly $2,000 for the programs they run that make them, as the Optimist International motto states, “Friends of Youth,” organizer Ronald Shepherd said.

It seemed to browsers such as Nancy Calvetti that everything one could want in a yard sale was present at the event, from clothes to electronics. For good measure the Optimists even threw in the sink, though the one for sale was of the bathroom, rather than kitchen, variety.

“I love yard sales,” Calvetti said as she walked

out with her armful of treasures. “I found a lot of things for my grandson, which is why I come to these. The stuff I got even still has the tags on it.”

Calvetti and her husband were vacationing in the area from Silver Springs, Md., something they do quite frequently. Even on their little get-aways, though, they can’t get away from bargain hunting.

Calvetti said she’s pleased they didn’t because, while the sale might have been on the smaller side of some she’s been to, there are added benefits to showing up at one run by true Optimists.

“The people are beautiful,” Calvetti gushed.

“They’re so pleasant. People are so nice around here.”

Nice and apparently generous. None of the money raised from the sale will stay with the club.

Instead, the group will turn the funds around to benefit a host of programs it runs annually for local children.

Those include drug education, bicycle and computer safety classes, an Easter egg hunt, an essay contest, three Girl Scout

Additionally and perhaps most importantly, the Optimists provide $2,000 in scholarships to help send deserving Sevier County youth to college.

“Everything we do is for the kids,” said threetime club President Robert Kite. “That’s our motto and that’s what we stick to. We’re a pretty active

group, too.”

That certainly seems true when listening to the list of activities the club supports and holds itself.

For instance, a partnership with Food City in Kodak will bring computer and bicycle safety classes for local youngsters on June 19 at the store. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Farmers who had losses in 2008 eligible for aid Submitted report The Supplemental Revenue Assistance payments (SURE) program is for Sevier County producers who suffered crop production losses during the 2008 crop year, according to Terry Chaney, FSA Sevier County Committee chairman.

SURE provides crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production

or crop quality losses.

The program takes into consideration crop losses on all crops grown by a producer nationwide.

SURE provides assistance in an amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE farm guarantee and total farm revenue.

Total farm revenue takes into account the actual value of production on the farm as well as insurance indemnities and certain farm program payments.

Producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance. In addition, producers must meet the risk management purchase requirement.

Producers considered socially disadvantaged, a beginning farmer or rancher, or a limited resource farmer may be eligible for SURE without a policy of plan of insurance or NAP coverage.

In addition, a producer must have a farming

Sevier County Choral Society will present two spring concerts within the next several days.

The first one will be May 14 at 7:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, Sevierville. The second will be May 16 at 4 p.m. at Gatlinburg Presbyterian Church.

Admission is free.

The first half of the program will feature the Easter portion of Handel’s “Messiah.” For the second half of the program, the group will present several Broadway musical favorites.

Donations will be taken to support the Choral Society and its scholarship program for high school students who participate with the group in rehearsals and singing engagements.

There are certain criteria that must be met to qualify for scholarships. Scholarship money is $500 per calendar year of participation. If a student enters the program as a freshman, he or she can earn up to $2,000 in college scholarship money by the time of graduation.

The scholarships are available to all students whether or not they plan to major in music in college.

Founded in 1998, the Choral Society is under the direction of David Wright. The primary focus is to present musical masterworks for the purpose of enhancing musical expertise in both performance and listening.

Patrons of the Choral Society receive free tickets and recognition in every concert program. Donation categories range from $24 and under — Friend of the Society to Sustaining Patron — $1,000. For information about program advertising, contact Wright at 429-0252.

Markets plunge hard; recover NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market had one of its most turbulent days in history as the Dow Jones industrials fell to a loss of almost 1,000 points in less than half an hour on fears that Greece’s debt problems could halt the global economic recovery.

The market’s plunge came less than 90 minutes before the end of trading. The Dow’s drop was its largest loss ever during the course of a trading day, but it recovered to a loss of 347 at the close. All the major indexes lost more than 3 percent.

Grace Wright, left, and Jessica Witte, both fourth graders at Wearwood Elementary School, check out the baby dog shark they’re about to dissect in Casey Berg’s science class on Thursday.

wearwood 3From Page A1

Wright and Jessica Witte affectionately called their female shark “Germy.”

“Can we keep some of the teeth?” Jessica asked Berg.

“Well, they’re really not all that impressive — and I don’t think your mom would appreciate the smell,” he replied.

The young scientists were given charts with the sharks’ anatomy, and Berg encouraged them “to get in there and explore.”

“I think it’s a great way for kids to learn biology,” said Dakota Norman, an eighth grader who volunteered to assist with the dissections because of his interest in science. “Sharks’ insides are really similar to ours, except for the brain.”

Lauren Thacker, who had at first wrinkled her nose in disgust, seemed to be having fun.

“I think it’s awesome! We get to see the different parts and learn how they functioned,” she said.

“I like seeing what’s in their stomachs,” added Sierra Fulenwider.

The group measured the length of their sharks in centimeters before sharing adjectives Ogle had instructed them to think of pertaining to the sharks. “Gross, awesome, slimy, fascinating and interesting” were all included.

“It’s pretty cool,” Jacob Hoffman said. “I’ve been waiting for this day a long time, ever since I heard we were going to do this.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

State death toll from storm rises to 20 NASHVILLE (AP) — Amanda Fatheree had about an hour to flee the floodwaters from her west Nashville home Sunday with her husband, mother and three young children.

What she saw when she returned a day later left her heartbroken.

Furniture she and her husband spent years paying off stood in their front yard, soaked and caked with mud from deadly flooding caused by record-busting rains that forced thousands to evacuate — some by

boat and canoe. Her children’s toys, clothes, books and games were destroyed, along with two vehicles that were left behind.

“When I first got here, I just cried and cried.

My whole life was gone,” she said.

Officials in Tennessee on Thursday reported the state’s 20th death from the storm. The deaths of at least 30 people in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky were blamed on weekend flooding and tornadoes.

The new death was in

Memphis, where police reported that Terrance Williams, 32, went missing Saturday after his car was disabled in rising floodwaters. Police found a body Wednesday but haven’t yet released the identity.

Two other people were missing in Nashville, and searches are under way for two in Kentucky.

Nashville police said 29-year-old Danny Tomlinson was last seen Sunday when his vehicle ran into high waters.

Daniel Alexander Brown, 18, went missing while tub-

ing Sunday on Mill Creek.

In Kentucky, 18-yearold John Pickerell was kayaking Wednesday with two friends on Lake Cumberland when their boat capsized. The others swam to shore but couldn’t find Pickerell.

Another kayaker, Robert W. Atcher, 55, was last seen Monday afternoon in the swollen Green River.

The flooding was caused by rains of more than 13 inches and affected both rich and poor in this metropolitan area of about 1 million.

Due to the flooding at the Lottery offices in Nashville some results are not available.

Social Security disability claim can be confusing

By BENJAMIN S. BURTON Guest columnist Applying for Social Security disability can be confusing and frustrating. The process is often misunderstood, and the average person does not understand the various steps required to be approved for disability benefits.

Urban myths such as “everyone gets turned down the first time” and “your doctor has to write a letter” cause even more perplexity to an already bewildering process. Hopefully, I can clear up some of the confusion of the disability process.

To apply for disability benefits you must first contact the Social Security Administration (SSA). It is important to contact SSA as soon as one realizes that they are going to apply for benefits. The date you contact SSA to schedule an initial appointment will, in some cases, be used to determine when the actual benefits start.

SSA refers to this initial contact as the “protective filing date.” You may call tollfree 800-772-1213 or you may contact the local field office which services your geographic area.

In addition, you may apply for benefits online. However I have found the online process to be confusing and often errorridden.

You may also walk into the local field office and request to file for benefits that day. I advise against doing a walkin interview as it often upsets the SSA staff, and a follow-up interview is almost always a necessity because the claimant (person filing) does not have the necessary information at the time of the interview.

Once you have contacted SSA, the administration will schedule a disability interview. You can choose to have the interview over the phone or at the local field office. I find my clients prefer a telephone interview. A telephone interview provides privacy and comfort.

If the interview is conducted at the field office, the staff is required to note your “physical appearance.” It has been my personal experience inside SSA that the staff observations of the claimant’s physical appearance is one of — “not disabled.”

Once you have scheduled your disability appointment, be prepared to have the following information ready for the interviewer: n List of all medical providers n List of all medications n Dates of all hospitalizations and ER visits n Date last employed n Dates of marriages n Spouses information, including SSA number, date of birth, employer n Life insurance policies n Estimated value of all vehicles including boats, RVs, etc.

SSA will need your birth certificate as well as your bank account routing numbers (these can be found on the bottom of your checks) The initial interview will last approximately one hour. SSA will send you correspondence confirming your statements made in the interview. Review this document and make any necessary changes and return the corrected statement to SSA. Once the initial interview is completed and all the changes have been made, SSA will then send your file to Nashville.

The Nashville office is called Disability Determination Services or DDS. Once the file is received at DDS, the staff will begin ordering your medical records.

SSA will only order records of the medical providers that you provided. The staff at DDS may send you questionnaires about your disability or how much pain you suffer from.

Once DDS has received the medical records, they will attempt to determine if you meet the necessary guidelines to be awarded benefits. If SSA feels that they do not have enough medical evidence to support an award or denial of benefits, DDS will schedule you an appointment with a doctor.

It has been my experience that these consultative exams are rarely favorable to the claimant and often are used as a reliable medical record to deny benefits.

The initial disability process takes about four to five months for SSA to issue a decision. In Tennessee, only 27.5 percent of all initial disability applications were approved at this first step in 2009.

Tennessee ranks third in the nation for the denial of initial disability benefits.

Stamp of approval Postal Carriers Food Drive an easy way to help the hungry Imagine yourself sitting in a friendly little pub “where everybody knows your name,” and the gentleman on the next stool is wearing a Postal Service uniform. You know the guy, Cliff Clavin. And what Cliff might say to you this week is, “Here are some little known facts ...”

Then Cliff would tell you that 18 years ago, the National Association of Letter Carriers started the Postal Carriers Food Drive, that in that time nearly a billion pounds of food have been collected and that last year, nationally, 73.4 million pounds were collected. Cliff wouldn’t be exaggerating — he’d be dead on.

On Saturday, Sevier County’s postal carriers will collect nonperishable

food items along their routes from Seymour to Gatlinburg, Kodak to Pittman Center, in the annual drive to feed the hungry. All food collected in Sevier County will stay here. In Seymour, the items collected will go to Christians Reaching Out Serving Seymour; elsewhere the items will go to Sevier County Food Ministries.

All sorts of food drives are held to help the hungry. Just last week, a 5K road race was held to benefit Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries.

Churches often hold food drives.

Youth groups and civic clubs do, too.

For this food drive, look in your pantry, select nonperishable items (canned vegetables, tuna, fruit, jars of peanut butter or jelly, boxes of

cereal or mac-and-cheese), put them in a plastic bag and hang them on your mailbox Saturday. If you prefer, you can drop the food items off at your local post office through next week. Or your can send a check to SCFM or CROSS. Since 1995, when Sevier County got involved, local postal workers have averaged collecting 11 tons of food per year. In 1995, Sevier County Food Ministries served 150 families; now the number has risen to more than 1,200.

This is a charity event that to be a participant you barely have to leave your house. This is one instance when “going postal” can be a good thing.

P ub l i c f orum Use compassion, understanding, common sense on prayer issue

Editor: The question regarding the Lord’s Prayer at County Commission meetings should be handled with some compassion, understanding, and common sense. The feelings of others that are not Christian and view the Lord’s Prayer as promoting a particular faith should be considered. The law which is subject to interpretation as not specifically addressed to this issue should also be considered as to what was intended.

I am not a deep student of the Constitution, having only studied it many years ago in high school and college government classes as a layman, without a deep interest at the time.

However, I can read and do have common Ssense as well as compassion and understanding regarding others’ feelings. The first part of the First Amendment often referred to as the Establishment Clause states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” and goes on to say, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Apparently, that is subject to many interpretations, as evidenced by all the conflict.

However, it is evidence to me that the founders did not want religion promoted by government or prohibited by government. I am pretty sure they did not want religion to cause a divided nation. Perhaps, we should all just pray in private, in churches, or other similar gatherings.

Perhaps, we could learn something from the Amish.

I agree with the Americans United assessment that the Lord’s Prayer does represent government attempt (or at least a people’s attempt through government) to promote a particular religious belief. The Christian community reaction pretty well confirms that is true, as they obviously have a desire to promote a particular religion. Many even have the attitude that we are a Christian nation and imply for other than Christians to either be quiet or move out.

The county will lose the lawsuit, in my opinion, and I do not want tax money or legislature’s time wasted on the subject. There are many better uses for the money and time. Please, use some compassion, understanding, and common sense as I believe Jesus would do. What if it was a Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Islamic, or some other faith’s prayer? I think we would then agree with the Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU).

A couple of simple compromises that show compassion, understanding, and common sense would be: A moment of silence before meetings so anyone that feels a need for spiritual guidance at the meeting can do so without offending anyone else.

Another compromise would be a nonsectarian simple short prayer such as, “Lord, please help us to make the right decisions.”

However, the reference to Lord might still offend atheists or someone. In my opinion, a moment of silence would be best.

I wonder, what would Jesus do? I do not think he would be insensitive to others for the sake of politics or wear his religion for all to see. Just do

what is right and all will see.

Hiring illegal workers hurts tax revenues of government

Editor: Am I the only one to see it this way? Let’s go back three or four years. When someone hires an undocumented worker, they do not pay taxes on the illegal worker and the illegal doesn’t pay taxes. Because a taxpayer was laid off, now they are not paying tax.

The tax base has taken a hit because no tax has been paid in. So the next year, because the taxes are not there, more people get laid off. Or, the way the government likes to say it, cutbacks.

Now the company will hire out or do outsourcing to get the work done. The subcontractor will hire and work illegal workers to make their bottom line look good. Every year it gets worse. This hurts every American and the tax base.

When you are out driving around and see the grass being cut or a bridge being painted, see a road building crew, the courthouse or school being cleaned by undocumented workers, this is tax money, yours and mine. I do not like it.

Do you?

The government will do nothing about the illegal worker because there are no profits in it for them. However, the government is losing tax dollars. The way I see it, this is hurting every redblooded American. Just vote them out.

Tiger regains poise at Players

Taylor charged with NY rape

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

Former NFL star accused of raping 16-year-old prostitute

By JIM FITZGERALD Associated Press Writer SUFFERN, N.Y. — Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was charged Thursday with raping a 16-year-old runaway who police said was forced into prostitution by a man who had beaten her up.

Taylor, a 51-year-old former New York Giants star who has faced drug and tax evasion charges in the past, paid the girl $300 for sex in a Holiday Inn, where he was arrested early Thursday, said Christopher St. Lawrence, supervisor of the town of Ramapo.

The man who’d beaten the girl drove her to Taylor’s suburban hotel room while she texted her uncle for help, police said.

Ramapo Chief of Police Peter Brower said Taylor was cooperative when police woke him up around 4

a.m. Taylor was arraigned Thursday on charges of thirddegree rape and patronizing a prostitute.

“I’m not that important,” Taylor told a scrum of media after being released on $75,000 bail.

His attorney, Arthur Aidala, said Taylor is a “loving family man” who did not have sex with the teenager.

“My client did not have sex with anybody,” Aidala said. “Lawrence Taylor did not rape anybody.”

Brower would not comment on whether Taylor knew the girl’s age; third-degree rape is a charge levied when the victim is under the age of consent, which is 17 in New York.

“Ignorance is not an excuse to an individual’s age,” Brower said.

Police said the girl was reported missing by her

Former New York Giants linebacker and Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor appears at Ramapo Town Court in Suffern, N.Y., Thursday. Taylor was arraigned on rape and prostitution charges in an assault on a 16-year-old runaway who police said was brought to his suburban New York hotel room against her will.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods hit one tee shot that went 190 yards and barely reached the fairway. He hit another shot smack into the middle of a sawgrass plant, the ball only seen by standing over it and suspended a few inches off the ground.

Both times, he scratched out a par and wound up with a 2-under 70 in The Players Championship.

That’s usually not a bad score to start out this tournament.

Just not on Thursday.

J.B. Holmes and Robert Allenby shared the lead at 66, which didn’t give them much separation. Twenty players were separated by two shots at the top of the leaderboard.

Conditions were so benign, and greens were so soft, that more than half the field broke par on the Stadium Course. And that’s not all. The 36 players who shot in the 60s were the most for the opening round

since 1994, and the average score (71.1) was the lowest in 17 years in the first round.

“I only made three birdies today,” said Woods, who didn’t make a bogey until the final hole when his 5-wood took a hard hop into the water. “I had myself a few chances in there to make some putts, make some birdies, and didn’t really do it.”

Masters champion Phil Mickelson shot the same score, in much more conventional fashion.

He felt about the same way.

Smoky Bears’ Solomon signs with Maryville

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

SEVIERVILLE – Smoky Bears first baseman Austin Solomon signed a letter of intent Wednesday morning to continue his baseball career this fall at Maryville College.

Solomon, a four-year player with the Bears who’ll be an SCHS valedictorian this year, chose Maryville over Sewanee after debating the pair for the past five months. “(Maryville) just gave me a better opportunity academically, and it’s a little bit closer to home,” Solomon said. “I like their baseball coach and how they run their program, so I decided that’s where I wanted to go.”

The tall, rangy lefty will take to the Scots a player far removed from the freshman that walked onto the Sevier County campus four years ago.

“Austin Solomon has probably improved as much as any player we’ve ever had in our program,” SCHS coach Lance Traywick said. “When he first got here as a

freshman he was kind of unsure of himself, kind of awkward, but to his credit he showed up to work every single day for four years and improved in every phase of his game.”

That work paid off as Solomon started contributing to the Bears’ varsity squad as a junior.

“He became an excellent defensive first baseman, and was a three-year starter for us,” Traywick said. “He hit over .400 as a junior, with a lot of pop in his bat and a lot of big RBIs for us.”

Solomon agreed with the coach’s assessment of his improvement. “(I got better) all around, and defensively I’ve gotten better,” Solomon said. “And me, coach (Traywick) and my dad have worked on my hitting, and it’s improved a lot over the last four years. I’m just looking to keep improving more in college and working as hard as I can to get better and help out their program Jason Davis/The Mountain Press as much as I can.”

Asked about the memories Austin Solomon, surrounded by his parents Scott and Sandra, other family members and the SCHS baseball coaching staff, signed a letter of intent with Maryville College on Wednesday.

G-P senior pitcher Drew Barton allowed just two earned runs in a complete seven-inning game, but the Blue-and-Gold defense wasn’t there in a 7-1 season-ending loss against Austin-East at Fulton on Thursday evening.

KNOXVILLE — The No.6seeded Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders hardball squad saw their season come to a disappointing close Thursday night against the No.7-seeded Austin-East Roadrunners, 7-1.

The District 3-AA Tournament play-in game was hosted by Fulton, and the Blue and Gold had to win in order to extend their season for at least another day.

It wasn’t to be, despite a gutsy pitching performance

by G-P senior Drew Barton, who went the complete seven innings and allowed just two earned runs on seven hits with three Ks and six walks.

Several errors cost G-P five

runs, and the Highlander bats couldn’t make up for the miscues. G-P had just three singles in the game, one apiece for junior Dusty Bilbrey, freshman Corbin Lamb and sophomore Spencer Lewis.

The Highlanders trailed 3-0 after three innings of play, but the Blue and Gold got some hope in the bottom of the fourth when senior Daniel Roberts stole third base and then took home on the A-E catcher’s throw that dribbled out to left field on the play, making it 3-1 Roadrunners.

That was as good as it would get for G-P, however, as A-E added three runs in the top of the sixth and one in the seventh to make it the final. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

he’d have of Solomon after he’s moved on, several moments came quickly to Traywick’s mind.

“I’ll remember him hitting the nursery here his sophomore year against Jefferson County (with a long home run),” Traywick said. “I’ll remember the district tournament he had as a junior (at Farragut), he hit about .750. I’ll remember his work ethic, and I believe we’ll definitely remember the home run he hit at Seymour -- in fact I got reports this morning that it just landed last night. I think that’s going to be a moment that people are going to relive for years to come.”

Solomon himself shared a few memories.

players

3From Page A8

“Two under is not what I wanted today,” Mickelson said.

“But there is a round in the mid 60s. If I can shoot that tomorrow, I’ll get right back in it.”

Holmes played bogey-free for his 66. The only time he came close to a bogey was at No. 10, when he hit over the green and did well to chip to 15 feet before making the par putt.

“It was a fun day, one of those rounds where everything was going pretty good,” Holmes said. “It’s kind of one of those rounds where it’s not easy, but it felt pretty easy.”

Allenby played in the afternoon, when the breeze kicked up, and only had one lapse with a three-putt on the par-3 eighth.

“Greens were a bit slow out there, definitely quite soft after the rain that we’ve had the last couple of days,” Allenby said.

“It definitely made it very accessible, some of those flags. I’m happy with the start, just happy to be amongst it.”

It was a big crowd.

Francesco Molinari of Italy had a chance to join the leaders until he chopped up the par-5 ninth hole for a bogey and joined the large group at 68. Those at 69 included Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh, along with Davis Love III, who showed that even a benign Sawgrass still has some bite. He was tied for the lead until making bogeys on the last three holes.

“Hanging out with the guys after games, and all the hard work we’ve put in,” Solomon relived. “All the pre-game speeches with coach T and coach Duff, breaking the school record with wins two years in a row and winning the district championship – that’s pretty big.”

Solomon also said he’d remember the Bears’ battles with cross-county rival Seymour.

“The Seymour game (last Thursday) is up there, probably with the 24-23 game last year.

Those two are probably my two favorite games – beating them 24-23 and beating them at their place last week.”

Traywick said other memories of Solomon won’t necessarily be about his play.

“He’s really contributed bigtime to our program and has

been a key building block in this rebuilding project,” the coach said. “He’s really been a great leader in and off the field. Maryville College hit a home run today, they didn’t just get a good baseball player -- they got a great human being.

He’s a great representative of our program, and we were very fortunate to be able to have Austin.”

The son of Scott and Sandra Solomon, Austin said he plans to major in biochemistry at Maryville. “I’ll either go to med school or dental school,” he added.

“I’d just like to thank my mom and dad for all the hard work they put in taking me to all my games since I was 5-years-old, coming to all my games and supporting me.”

With scrutiny higher than after the worst tournament of his career, Woods settled down after a shaky start and eased speculation that he could miss consecutive cuts for the first time in his career.

A week ago at Quail Hollow, Woods had his second-highest round (79) and the worst 36-hole score (153) of his career to miss the cut by eight shots.

Then came practice rounds that didn’t look much better.

“I’ve felt like I’ve done some good work this week, even though reports are I was hitting all over the lot,” Woods said.

“But I was working on a few things. I was very comfortable with what I was working toward, and I was very excited about what was happening. It was just a matter of doing it in competition. And I did it today.”

A few pars saved the day — one after a hooked tee shot into the trees, another when he fanned a shot to the right into the bunker on No. 4, then made an 8-foot par putt after hitting another bunker.

And nothing looked worse than a 3-wood that he popped up on No. 7, barely reaching the fairway and having to hit a 5-wood for his second shot on a par 4. He got up-and-down for par, and two holes later, gave a light but meaningful fist pump when he hit 5-wood to a tucked green on the par-5 ninth to 18 feet for a two-putt birdie.

He only hit one bad shot the rest of the round, but it led to a recovery shot that his caddie opposed.

Woods pulled his 5-wood on

the short 12th hole smack into a sawgrass bush, the ball suspended a few inches off the ground.

Steve Williams suggested that he declare an unplayable lie and take a penalty shot.

“That was a hit-and-hope,” Woods said.

He went to another bush to simulate how the ball might come out. As he stood over the shot, Williams was still pointing to the grass behind him as a good place to drop. Woods ignored him, never taking his eyes off the shot.

“It was a very, very low percentage shot,” Williams said. “If he takes the drop, the worst he can make is 5. He could have hit it anywhere. He could have whiffed it. But he said, ’I think I can hit this.”’

Woods hit it to the front of the green, chipped to 5 feet and made his par. His only bogey came on the 18th, when his 5-wood had too much draw and took a hard hop left into the water. He turned and cursed twice, then began the long walk up the fairway to figure out where to drop. There went Woods’ hope of breaking 70 in the opening round at Sawgrass for the first time in his career.

He was more bothered by missing so birdie chances — four putts inside 12 feet. Even so, Woods sounded much more optimistic after playing only his seventh round of competition since Nov. 15.

“It takes time to get into the rhythm of competing, and it takes tournaments,” he said.

“And I haven’t had a lot of tournaments under my belt.”

Tennessee starter Craig Muschko, who went six innings in a no-decision Wednesday, allowed just one run on three hits, walking two and striking out two.

Smokies fall 2-1 to BayBears Tennessee strands 10 in heartbreaker SEVIERVILLE — A 13-5 advantage in the hit column wasn’t enough for the Tennessee Smokies in Wednesday night’s series opener against the Mobile BayBears.

The Smokies (18-8) were unable to convert in the clutch, stranding 10 base runners and falling to the BayBears (13-13) in front of 2,304 fans at Smokies Park, 2-1.

Early on it looked like Tennessee would have no issues knocking in runs.

Smokies newcomer Matt Spencer, playing in his first game at Smokies Park, drove in the first run of the game on a sacrifice fly off Mobile starter Wes Roemer in the second to score Blake Lalli and give the Smokies a 1-0 lead.

Tennessee starter Craig Muschko did his part against the BayBears, holding Mobile to one run through the first six innings. The right-hander

from Philadelphia allowed just one run on three hits, walking two and striking out two. His six-inning stint mirrored that of his previous four starts, all of which went six innings.

Tied 1-1 heading into the eighth, Mobile put a second run on the board off Smokies reliever Jake Muyco (1-1).

Ollie Linton, Jr.’s single to center brought home Jake Ward to give Mobile the 2-1 lead that held to the end.

Mobile’s lead was be protected by the trio of Bryan Henry (2-1), Reid Mahon and Abe Woody (S, 4). Their bend-but-don’t-break approach led to six Tennessee base runners over the final three frames, but no runs allowed.

Tennessee is a Southern Leaguebest 12-3 on the road this year, but just 6-5 at home.

The Smokies host the BayBears again 7:15 p.m. tonight at Smokies Park.

family in March and had been staying with a 36-year-old parolee, Rasheed Davis, in the Bronx.

The two met a few weeks ago at a Bronx bus stop, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He chats her up. She explains she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place to stay.

He provides one,â&#x20AC;? Browne said.

Davis then forced her to perform sexual favors for others, authorities said.

Early Thursday morning, Davis punched and kicked her, drove her to the hotel against her will and told her she had to have sex with Taylor, police said. When she refused, Davis handed her over to Taylor, who sexually assaulted her, they said.

Taylor paid her $300, which she gave to Davis, police said.

On the way to Suffern, the girl sent text messages to her uncle spelling out what was happening, Browne said. The uncle then went to the NYPD, he said.

Davis was arrested on charg-

es of unlawful imprisonment, assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He was sentenced in April 1994 to eight to 25 years in prison for firstdegree manslaughter. He was paroled in March 2008.

There was no phone number listed at the address provided by police for Davis, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear if he had an attorney. His relationship with the girl was unclear.

The Bronx district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office refused to comment.

Taylor was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999 and competed in ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With the Starsâ&#x20AC;? last year. He had a highly publicized struggle with drug addiction and has had multiple legal run-ins since retiring from football.

Police said no drugs were found in Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel room on Thursday but a bottle of alcohol was.

A quick, fierce and athletic linebacker who redefined his position, Taylor anchored the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense and led them to Super Bowls titles in 1987 and 1991. He was selected to

the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75th Anniversary AllTime Team.

A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1986 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986. He recorded 132 1/2 sacks, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t included his 9 sacks in 1981 when the statistic wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t official.

In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack.

In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program.

In 2000, he drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.

Taylor is due in court again on the latest charges on June 10. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Associated Press writers Colleen Long and Tom Hays in New York contributed.

SEC GRIDIRON

Tennessee fans turning out to meet Derek Dooley

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At first glance, Tennessee fans might not have a lot to get excited about heading into the 2010 season.

The Volunteers have their third coach in three years, and the graduation and departure of a number of key players has left the team with hardly any depth. Yet the fans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be deterred by the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fans are the spirit of our whole organization,â&#x20AC;? first-year coach Derek Dooley said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sell Tennessee.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been turning out all week in places like Memphis, Atlanta and even a partially flooded Jackson, Tenn., to meet Dooley during the Big Orange Caravan coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour.

Dooley discovered just how much the support the program has in late January, when he attended his first Vols basketball game. The basketball program had just been embarrassed by the arrests of four players and the football program stunned by the departure of coach Lane Kiffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went through as tough of a time as any time in our athletic program with what happened in basketball and what happened in football over the winter.

To see 22,000 come out and watch the (basketball) team play and how welcoming and gracious everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been to me shows how passionate and how gracious and unconditionally supportive the Tennessee nation is,â&#x20AC;? Dooley said.

Instead of trying to stir up excitement about the program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that was

always at the top of Kiffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dooley has been trying to get a sense from fans about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different than any company.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to serve your customers, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re our customers,â&#x20AC;? he said at a lunch stop at the Cleveland Country Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly want them to feel good about our program. We want them to understand who we are and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about, and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we listen to them.â&#x20AC;?

Dooley has asked the Vols what they think the fans want, and the overwhelming response from the players has been discipline, both on and off the field.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the feedback Dooley has gotten from the big orange faithful during the caravan tour.

Will Jones, a senior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, said he is less concerned about the future of the Vols program now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard Dooley speak Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got good leadership and good spirit for the team,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been concerned four about two years, three years now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not as concerned as I was.â&#x20AC;?

Dooley doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to play down the less-than-ideal situation heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found himself in with a program suffering from depth and confidence after a tumultuous two seasons. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy trying to find answers.

When one school-aged boy in the audience questioned him about which young players heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put on the field in the fall, Dooley instead joked, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;If you can get your math done, we might play you next year.â&#x20AC;?

Celtics GM Ainge fined for towel toss

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for tossing a towel to try and distract Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson as he shot a free throw. Ainge flipped a white towel over his head during the third quarter of Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff game between Boston and Cleveland. Ainge was attempting to rattle Hickson, who made his second free throw despite the GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions. Stu Jackson, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive vice president of basketball operations, fined Ainge for â&#x20AC;&#x153;an unauthorized distraction and for conduct detrimental to the game.â&#x20AC;? The Celtics were leading 80-57 at the time of Aingeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towel toss. Boston went on to win 104-86 to even the Eastern Conference semifinal at 1-1. On Wednesday, Ainge said he regretted his behavior, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprofessional.â&#x20AC;?

County man faces multiple burglary charges for break-ins in Sevierville Submitted report A Sevier County man has been charged with multiple home burglaries.

Stephen W. Shreve, 43, of Sevierville was charged Shreve with three counts of aggravated burglary in connection with residential break-ins in the Sevierville area.

Sheriff Ron Seals said that on Wednesday his office received a call about a man attempting to burglarize a home on Little Cove Road. Officers responded and found a car

at the home, but no one around it.

The investigation revealed that the suspect, later identified as Shreve, had fled the area on foot when officer arrived and then gotten a ride to the Pine Mountain area, where he was last seen.

Investigators searched a room at the Budget Inn in Sevierville, where Shreve was staying, and found property from other burglaries that had occurred in Sevier County.

Shreve was apprehended on Wednesday night by Blount County sheriff’ss officers during a traffic stop, and other items that had been reported stolen were found in his car at that time. Shreve was arraigned before a magis-

Shreve is also being held for State Probation and Parole, as he was on parole at the time of the burglaries.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Matt Cubberley

Carter’s wife, Linda Carter, who worked as office manager at LeConte Family Practice, recorded the conversation and Delius played it back in court.

“Does that sound like your voice?” Delius asked the young man at one point after stopping the recording.

“I can honestly say that does not sound like me.

Some parts sound like me and some parts do not,” the alleged victim responded, though he later conceded the voice on the audio was his.

In the conversation, the young man asks about some of the medications he was on for bipolar disorder, a condition that one time forced him to be involuntarily committed to a local mental hospital after he told a nurse at LeConte he was having “homicidal and suicidal thoughts,” Delius said. He insisted the only reason he continued to endure the exams is Carter was his only source for those prescriptions and the hormone therapy.

Each of the three alleged victims who testified Thursday went to Carter at least once to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, while one received a further check for hemorrhoids and another was taking medications that might lead to prostate problems. On each occasion, the young men said no one else was in the room when Carter performed the exams and he did not wear gloves when touching their genitals.

The second victim to take the stand became visibly emotional several times during Delius’ questioning, blowing his nose and dabbing at his eyes with tissues provided by a bailiff. He alleged Carter probed his rectum for up to 15

minutes when he complained of hemorrhoids before he demanded the doctor stop.

Delius pointed out inconsistencies both in the boy’s statements, as well as between his testimony and medical records. The witness at first denied having one procedure done, then later admitted it “sounds familiar.”

“How did you fail to tell us that?” Delius asked.

“I had never thought about it until you just now asked me,” the young man said, sobbing that he never told anyone about his experiences with Carter, even keeping them a secret from his own mother until she heard about them in his testimony.

Delius drew further sobs from the alleged victim when he brought up a $5 million civil suit the young man filed against Carter just a short time ago. The boy claimed he wasn’t aware the suit was filed.

“Young man, have you made this up?” Delius asked at one point.

“I really wish,” the boy answered.

Hawkins’ final three witnesses were the other doctors, each of whom testified that in a combined total of nearly 100 years in medicine they either never or only once had known of a prostate exam performed on someone under the age of 30. That Carter has at least four young men who say he did such a check on them seemed to indicate a problem to those physicians.

“I could not sleep that first night after reading these statements,” said Dr. Eric Littleton, who described himself as “horrified” by what the patients said Carter did.

“I want the truth. If we do not protect the medical profession as physicians, then no one will.”

Each of the men also testified a rectal exam should take no more than half a minute and should always be performed with gloves on.

Following their statements, Delius called his only witness of the day, Diane Whaley, a nurse at LeConte. She testified she has seen Carter give rectal exams before and found nothing out of the ordinary. She also served as the first of what will likely be a number of character witnesses for Carter, offering accolades for his professionalism.

“Compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, thorough,” Whaley said after she was asked to describe Carter as a doctor. “I’ve seen him discuss things other than medical issues with patients. I’ve seen him cry with patients.”

The trial was set to begin again at 9 a.m. today. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Shriner paper sale May 10-16 Submitted report For many years, Shriners have conducted an annual paper sale to raise funds to support no-cost medical care for children requiring orthopedic or burn medical treatment.

This year’s paper sale will be held May 10-16.

The Great Smoky Mountains Shrine Club has always been a partner in this event. Shriners will be volunteering their time to sell papers that raise money to support the hospitals.

“Donations raised during the paper sale go directly to pay for surgery, treatment, and transportation to Shriners Hospitals for children in need,” said Terry Christie, paper sale chairman for the Great Smoky Mountains Shrine Club.

The paper contains information about services provided by the Shriners, as well as stories of children whose lives have been affected by the treatment they received. While papers will be sold the week beginning May 10, Shriners will be out in force May 15 and 16 collecting donations.

Shriners will contact businesses as well, rewarding their financial participation with commemorative plaques. Business owners that would like to have a plaque can call (865) 4147233 for more information or to make a donation.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a health care system of 22 hospitals that annually provides care for thousands of children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate.

Shriners Hospitals also conduct research and provide medical education.

Kerbela Shriners sponsor approximately 1,200 children up to age 18 across 17 counties in East Tennessee, providing transportation to the Lexington, Greenville and Cincinnati Shrine hospitals at no cost to the patient or their families.

In Sevier County, about 100 children are sponsored.

Donations are accepted year-round. To make a donation call (865) 4147233. Donations can also be mailed to Great Smoky Mountains Shrine Club, P.O. Box 1386, Kodak, TN 37764.

Garden Party Gatlinburg club holds annual tea The Gatlinburg Garden Club hosted its annual May Tea at the home of Sam and Tracey Large.

The event marks the end of the calendar year for the club. In June club president Teri Pizza will hand the baton over to Annette Caldwell, who has served as club secretary in the past.

“I said I like being secretary, let me be secretary,” Caldwell said in between greeting guests. “But I was drafted.”

Caldwell said while she’s still learning about plants, it’s the fellowship with her fellow club members that she enjoys most about the Garden Club.

Supervisors serve as conduits in workplace Someone recently told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy my job, have done well and now I am being promoted to supervisor.â&#x20AC;? Then came the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In your opinion, what exactly makes a good supervisor?â&#x20AC;?

When I think of a supervisor, I think of the Walt Disney quote I have shared many times: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children (people) look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint them, then maybe, just maybe, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint us.â&#x20AC;?

Being a supervisor is somewhat like being a parent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and people do not want to follow leaders who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk the talk. The supervisor helps establish a positive, creative environment in which he or she leads a team to support the vision, mission and goals of the organization, leading the team to think of how things can be done rather than why things canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done.

As a supervisor, you are fiercely loyal to the company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and fiercely loyal to your people. You are a conduit between top management and team members. Instead of being cold and aloof, you are a warm human being who takes an interest in team members and helps them realize their importance as human beings and employees. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you become overly buddy-buddy with a team member, just as a parent is loved and respected for being a parent and not for being a school chum.

You know the technical aspects of your job and the jobs of your people.

(In football, an offensive line coach canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach his players how to block most effectively if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to block.) Even though you are a continual learner yourself, you are also an expert at what you supervise. You will continue to grow as your team grows, but you are the coach rather than the player.

You clearly define your groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, mission and goals to be accomplished in order to reach the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, mission and goals. You define who does what, how it is to be done and by when it should be accomplished. You let team members know why something is done, how it helps them and how it helps the company.

Keeping in mind that people usually produce their best work when they earn freedom and respect, you are a good delegator.

This requires understanding the tasks to be accomplished and who has the best attributes to accomplish them. Your success as a supervisor depends on the success of your team members. So you are diligent in recognizing individuals when they do something right and quick to correct them positively, professionally and dispassionately when they do something wrong.

You put together a plan to maximize the skills and achievements of each employee to help him or her become a top performer. You help employees set goals, objectives, strategies and means of measurement for effective planning and decision-making.

You also quickly and correctly identify the source of any conflict within the team and then do what needs to be done to correct the situation. You implement corrective and disciplinary actions when necessary. With your finger on the pulse of things, you also recognize when some things need to be changed and when to maintain the status quo.

As an authority figure, you look the part. Even though everyone in the organization should dress and groom appropriately, it is important that you look like a supervisor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like someone who is in charge of something. You continually work on using correct grammar and communicating well.

In summary, as a supervisor, you are responsible for team cohesiveness and productivity. This is done through observation, training, team and individual meetings, planning, problem-solving, decision-making, delegation and feedback to team members and top management. Through it all, you keep foremost in mind and you lead your team to keep in mind, your number one goal is to be the best you can be at what you do.

MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Strategy For Winning.â&#x20AC;?

Herrell is the son of Evann and Tracie Herrell.

McCarter is the daughter of Laura and Steve McCarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just seemed like dual enrollment offered more opportunities and a broad range of subjects to choose from,â&#x20AC;? said McCarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a psychology major, I was able to take abnormal psychology, developmental psychology and several sociology classes instead of just one or two that were offered in high school.â&#x20AC;?

Herrell was a homeschool student through the eighth grade. He viewed dual enrollment courses as a way to get a few years of college out of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to go to medical school, so I know I am going to be in college for a long time. With dual enrollment, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already finished my first two years while in high school,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The GFAF also will honor for the first time a patron of the arts, Jean Ogle.

While admission to the festival is free to visitors, the event serves as a major fundraiser for Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, the Sevier County Arts Council and the Gatlinburg Boys & Girls Club art program.

The festival will present the season debut of Tunes & Tales. Those acts will perform at the Night With The Artist Party on May 14 as well as throughout the festival.

Advice

Divorced couple shouldn’t be sharing home; ask ex to move

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I was married for 35 years to a cheating husband. We have been separated for the past nine. The house we have lived in for 25 years belongs to me. It has three floors. I live on the top floor, my son and his family live in the middle, and my estranged husband lives on the bottom level.

Here is the problem.

My husband has his current girlfriend over all the time. This is a bit much. I get very angry when I see them together and even angrier when my children visit their father when his girlfriend is with him. I believe he is being inconsiderate and disrespectful.

I think at the very least he should acknowledge my feelings on the matter and keep her visits to a minimum. What do you think? — Kitty Dear Kitty: We think you are not separated enough. Unless you plan to get back together with your husband, you should not be sharing a home. It complicates everything.

If you want to reconcile, get into counseling. If you don’t, you must learn to be more tolerant of his social life. Right now, you are his landlord and not much more.

We don’t understand why you haven’t asked Hubby to move out, but since he hasn’t, you’ll simply have to figure out a way to put up with the girlfriend. And please let your son make his own choices.

Dear Annie: I am a young adult still living at home with my parents and am not financially stable enough to move out.

My family and I clash, but the fights are usu-

ally with my mother.

The toll it takes on me is unbearable. My parents automatically assume that because I’m onehalf of the fight, I’m the one who needs therapy.

I have been to multiple therapists, yet there has been no change. While I admit to my fair share of demons, I believe therapy hasn’t worked because my parents refuse to attend the sessions. I cannot work out our problems without their participation.

What do I do? I think therapy is a waste of time if I am doing all the work alone. I do not have these problems with other people at work or at school.

I love my family, but unless they agree to work on these issues with me, I don’t see any end to the fighting. — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Ask your therapist to speak to your parents about the importance of changing the family dynamic, which means their participation is critical. In the meantime, please find your own place to live, even if it means a dorm, an apartment with six roommates or staying with a friend.

You need to put some distance between you and your parents.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “At My Wits’ End,” whose husband doesn’t understand the problems of her 17-year-old bipolar

daughter.

In California, the courts can appoint a legal guardian for mentally ill people. It’s called an “LPS Conservatorship,” and it lasts for one year and can be renewed annually if the person has not improved.

My 53-year-old brother has been under an LPS conservatorship for the past 15 years. Before that, my family’s lives were constantly disrupted by my brother’s outbursts, especially when he would stop taking his meds.

Under the program, the conservatee cannot refuse his medications.

A conservatorship even allows the state to manage my brother’s life, if necessary. The less successful the person is, the more the conservator can become involved, find appropriate services and advocate.

That mother should check with her state to see whether something like this is available for her daughter. — California Dear California: Thank you for the suggestion. We hope anyone in this situation will look into it.
