Ross conspiracy suit dismissed

INSIDE

SEVIERVILLE — A federal judge dismissed a complaint by Jimmie Ross claiming that local authorities and a bank acted in collusion to illegally deprive him of his property. The complaint, filed by Ross acting as his own attorney, cited Sheriff Ron Seals, Judge Jeff Rader, Sevierville Police Chief Don Myers, First

Tennessee Bank, and several local law enforcement officers, all in their individual capacities. Ross claimed they joined in a conspiracy to deprive him of his house and violated his civil rights during the foreclosure proceedings. The complaint refers to the same proceedings that led Myers and Seals to station officers outside Ross’s home Oct. 7, 2008 — they day Ross’s wife, Pamela, died of a gunshot wound.

Officers said she died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound, something Jimmie Ross and at least some of their children have disputed. Two of their daughters, Teresa Cosper and Becky Cates, have convinced the Department of Justice’s Division of Civil Rights to investigate the case; the division acknowledged that investigation last week. However, Jimmie Ross’s complaint did not mention his wife’s death, and the judge’s rul-

ing has no bearing on the DOJ investigation into the case. “Plaintiff has only alleged a formulaic recitation of the elements of various statutory violations and has not identified sufficient factual allegations or the nature of any due process violation or civil rights violation,” Judge Thomas Varlan wrote. Furthermore, he noted, the complaint doesn’t make it quite See ross, Page A4

Fire station site plan on agenda

Checks for flooded homes to take months NASHVILLE (AP) — State and local officials are working to clear homes and businesses in Nashville’s floodway, but homeowners will have to wait at least 10 months before getting a check. The Tennessean reported that more than 500 properties are located in the city’s floodway, the area along a waterway most prone to damage. Mayor Karl Dean has said the city also plans to buy about 2,500 properties that are inside the city’s 100-year flood plain. There are about 650 homes in the 500-year

flood plain that could also be purchased if the city can afford it. Jeremy Heidt, spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, said the process takes at least 10 months if everything goes smoothly. The properties are purchased with a combination of federal, state and local money. The typical formula involves 75 percent federal money, 12.5 percent state and 12.5 percent local, so local governments have to decide whether they can afford to match. “They have to come up with the matching money,” Heidt said.

Dates set for transportation to view fireflies at Elkmont Submitted Report Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials have announced that the Elkmont entrance road will be closed to motor vehicles and pedestrian use every day from at 5 p.m. to midnight, June 5-13, except to registered campers staying at the Elkmont Campground. The closure is to accommodate transportation service for visitors planning to spend the evening viewing the naturaloccurring, synchronous firefly beetles at Elkmont.

Visitors are prohibited from bringing coolers, alcoholic beverages, or their pets.

Ober to open Amaze’n Maze Memorial Day weekend Submitted report

Photos courtesy S.L. Pemberton

S.L. Pemberton snapped these photos in Cades Cove last Friday of a bear that was fairly close to two children and, later, the children’s mother. Pemberton said the kids were around 30 feet from the bear, which looks unhappy. The photographer said there were no park rangers around, and it appeared the children had approached the bear. Last week the park euthanized a bear because it had become accustomed to eating food from humans and had bitten a man on Laurel Falls Trail. Park officials remind visitors to the Smokies not to approach or feed bears. Submitted

GATLINBURG — Ober Gatlinburg’s newest attraction, the 4,600-square-foot Amaze’n Maze, is scheduled to open on Memorial weekend. The maze includes twists, turns and dead-ends. All ages can participate while competing against family, friends and the clock. Upon entering the maze, each guest will be issued a passport which they stamp at checkpoints as they work their way to the exit and clock their time. The attraction is being built by Greg Gallavan of Amaze‘n Mazes of Winter Park, Colo., and is one of only 30 in the United States, Canada and Spain. Until 1996, mazes were typically made of wood until Gallavan developed plastic panels for a maze he installed in Steamboat Springs, Colo. The lightweight panels were more durable than wood and

Lamar Alexander wants to boost the percentage paid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to 90 percent in a budget appropriation Congress is considering for the agency. That change would apply to property buyouts as well as repairing public infrastructure. Alexander said in a statement Friday that change “should mean tens of millions of dollars in Nashville alone.� The buyout effort is on a scale unlike any other the city has participated in. In the last five years, the city’s flood mitigation program bought out 54 homes in flood-prone areas.

included assertions that defendants had violated laws in his statements of fact, where he should have been setting up the factual groundwork to back up those assertions in another area of the complaint. For example, in the statements of fact Ross wrote “Defendants violated plaintiff’s due process rights as pleadings were filed and hearings held when juris-

diction and legal standing were proved to be not existent.� In several instances, Varlan wrote, Ross didn’t make it clear what complaints apply to some of the defendants. The law enforcement officers are named as defendants, but Ross did not state any allegations against them specifically. Varlan also noted Rader could not be sued for mon-

businesses. But Dean said the program would be voluntary and they won’t force property owners to participate. “A surprising number of people are just eager to get back into their homes,� he said. But for others, the buyout plan may not be an option. There are about 8,000 flood damaged homes outside of the 100-year flood plain that will not be included in the initial buyout plan. Metro Planning Director Rick Bernhardt said the flood has set in motion questions that will shape the future of development in Nashville. “I think going forward we need to try as much as possible to free up the floodway and get as much development as possible out of the floodway and free up the flood plain,� Bernhardt said. Metro Councilman Darren Jernigan says one subdivision in Old Hickory had damage to all 240 homes after the riverbank eroded 15 feet in five days. “If you saw what I saw in Waterford, there wouldn’t even be a question� about limiting flood plain development, Jernigan said. “If you want an argument of property rights versus lives, I think

blew out after a drilling rig exploded April 20 off the Louisiana coast. Suttles said it will be at least Wednesday before BP will try using heavy mud and cement to plug the leak, a maneuver called a top kill that represents the best hope of stopping the oil after several failed attempts. BP initially said it would try Tuesday, but company spokesman John Curry said more time is needed to get equipment in place and test it. “Our goal, of course, is to succeed,� Curry said. “We want this as much as anyone and our best chance of success is looking like Wednesday morning.� Several officials from President

Barack Obama’s administration led a delegation of U.S. senators who surveyed the affected areas from the air Monday, then held a press conference to emphasize that the cleanup is BP’s responsibility. “We are going to stay on this and stay on BP until this gets done and it gets done the right way,� said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Engineers are working on several backup plans in case the top kill doesn’t work. Suttles said they will likely try to cap the well with a small containment dome if the maneuver fails. He said they are also considering injecting assorted junk into the well to stop the oil.

pop up?�’ said Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC. The rescue of a Spanish bank raised investors’ anxiety about Europe’s economy. Investors can’t shake their concerns that there could be more bank bailouts in Europe if a wave of bad debt cascades through financial markets. It’s not clear that will happen but traders remember well the problems in the U.S. that began with bad subprime loans. That started small but eventually helped take down Lehman Brothers in September 2008. The Bank of Spain stepped in to rescue Cajasur after it failed to complete a merger. It was only the second time Spain’s central bank saved a regional lender. The country is one of those already dealing with ballooning deficits. The euro fell against the dollar, dropping to $1.2361. The 16-nation currency has become a symbol of investors’ concern about the continent’s economy.

Trader Anthony Alvarino works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday. Traders have been dumping the euro on fears that massive debts will cause a default by a weaker country in the European Union. The euro hit a four-year low against the dollar last week. Analysts question wheth-

er countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal will be able to contain mounting debt through steep spending cuts. Investors are also worried that those budget cuts will upend an economic recovery in Europe and slow a worldwide rebound.

Regulators probe firms’ role in stock plunge WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators said Monday they are looking at whether big trading firms abandoned the market during the massive sell-off on May 6 rather than providing cash support required under law. Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission said the possible retreat of big “liquidity providers� during the market plunge is an area of focus in the investigation. Major securities firms are required by law to remain in the market by buying and selling stocks; high-speed electronic trading firms are not. Some firms that act as liquidity providers stopped

doing so during the freefall, the SEC officials found. Those findings were presented at the first meeting of a special advisory committee to the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The panel is examining what sent the Dow Jones industrials down nearly 1,000 points in less than 30 minutes. At the meeting, panel members also pressed staff about the nearly 21,000 trades that were canceled because the exchanges deemed them erroneous after the plunge. Staff said nearly all the broken trades involved so-called “stub quotes,� used by market makers as

placeholders and often far above or below actual stock values. The SEC staff is considering whether stub quotes should be curbed or banned. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said last week the agency is examining whether decisions to cancel trades were made fairly and plans to propose new rules for cancellation. Executives from the major

Tax credit and low mortgage rates boost home sales

Late slide in financial stocks hits stock market NEW YORK (AP) — Financial companies dragged stocks lower Monday as already anxious investors grew even more uncertain about the U.S. government’s financial overhaul plan and debt problems in Europe. The Dow Jones industrial average slid 80 points in the final 15 minutes of trading to end with a loss of almost 127. It was the lowest close for the Dow since February. All major indexes fell more than 1 percent. Investors are worried about limits that could be placed on U.S. banks in a final version of the financial overhaul bill. A bill that passed the Senate last week is now being reconciled with the House version. The late drop illustrates how jittery traders are in particular about what will happen in Europe. “People are afraid to go home and say ’All of the sudden what’s going to happen overnight in Europe?

U.S. exchanges are expected to meet with the SEC this week to discuss the issue. The panel also questioned the role of “stoploss� market orders in the slide. Stop-loss orders set the price at which a stock is automatically sold when it declines to a specified level. Many investors used them to protect themselves in the market freefall.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Homebuyers rushed to take advantage of government incentives and low mortgage rates in April, giving the housing market its biggest boost in five months. But now that a homebuyer tax credit has expired, growth in the second half of the year will depend on the lure of historically low mortgage rates and the strength of the economic recovery. Some economists say mortgage rates alone won’t be enough to propel the market. “Although mortgage rates have fallen sharply, the combination of high unemployment, heavy indebtedness and tight credit suggest to us that demand will stumble,� said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. Sales of previously owned homes rose 7.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million, the National Association of Realtors said Monday. The increase in sales sparked a rise in home prices. The median price for a new home rose to $173,100, up 4 percent from a year ago. Mortgage fell last week to the lowest level for the year and close to 50-year lows as worries over the European debt crisis sent investors rushing into the safety of U.S. credit markets. But Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said the key to growth in the housing market won’t be low mortgage rates. “What really will drive sales forward and I mean after July, will be the job market,� Newport said. “Having a good mortgage rate helps affordability, but we’ve had low mortgage rates for a long time now and sales have stayed below 5 million, except when the tax credit was involved.� The tax credit’s impact is expected to linger for a couple months. While homeowners had to have a signed sales contract by April 30, buyers have until the end of June to complete their sales. The federal government provided offered first-time buyers a tax credit of up to $8,000. Homeowners looking to upgrade were able to qualify for a credit of up to $6,500.

Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Nashville said last week at a press conference called by Democratic leaders to discuss their budget proposal. Turner didn’t have any solid figures from the plan at the time, but he said it will contain funding to boost tourism in Tennessee — particularly after the devastating flooding. “Come here and spend your money,” Turner said. “We’re not underwater, we’re open for business.” Earlier this month, state Finance Commissioner Dave Goetz said about $17

million has been identified in the governor’s budget that can be pulled from different types of funds for emergency use. Turner said Democrats are looking to increase that, partly through proposed legislation. For instance, one measure would give property tax relief to flood victims and another would give a sales tax break to those individuals qualified under the Federal Emergency Management Agency to purchase building materials and major appliances.

Parton says the media were then saying bad things about Miley — “just the same way they’re doing now in the real press.” Cyrus has recently stirred controversy with two videos, including one that showed the 17-year-old bumping and grinding with “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Adam Shankman.

commentary

Palin speaks emotionally as a mother I walked in late for the Susan B. Anthony List breakfast last Friday and, right away, Sarah Palin blew me away. Trig. She hadn’t planned to have a specialneeds child. She was governor of the state of Alaska with four other children, for goodness sake. The thought of abortion flitted across her consciousness and she remembered God’s promise that she could handle whatever He sends her. Sarah Palin says now — and listening to her it is impossible to disbelieve — “Trig has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and to the Palin family.” The former GOP vice-presidential candidate is up on stage, rubbing her eyes in imitation of a sleepy toddler: “Trig, in the morning, he’ll wake up — he’s 2 years old now — he’ll wake up and he pulls himself up to the top of the crib there. He looks around and he rubs his sleepy little eyes, and even though the day’s going to be challenging, he starts applauding.” The audience explodes in appreciative laughter, and Gov. Palin drives the message home: “First thing in the morning, he looks around clapping like, ‘Woohoo! What are you going to do with me now?’ And I — oh man, shouldn’t we all? That’s what we’re learning from our boy.” It was an extraordinary speech. Sarah Palin is something genuinely new on the American scene, and what’s more, she clearly knows it. Palin understands that she is building not just a new political movement, but a new cultural identity. She dubbed it “frontier feminism,” and it was the theme she carried through from beginning to end. She speaks emotionally as a mother, from the heart of motherhood, and she makes it what it should be: a source of power, not an admission of weakness or dependency, and a bond, the deepest bond among women. She understands quite well the opposition of orthodox feminists and of many elite liberal career women to her sudden emergence as a national figure: “And I thank the SBA List, too, for being a home to a new conservative feminist movement, is how I look at this. It’s an emerging conservative feminist identity. Far too long, when people heard the word ‘feminist,’ they thought of the faculty lounge at some East Coast women’s college, right? And no offense to them, they have their opinions and their voice, and God bless them; they’re just great.” She pauses. “But that’s not the only voice of women in America. I’d like to remind people of another feminist tradition, kind of a western feminism. It’s influenced by the pioneering spirit of our foremothers, who went in wagon trains across the wilderness, and they settled in homesteads. And these were tough, independent pioneering mothers, whose work was as valuable as any man’s on the frontier. ... They went where no woman had gone before.” A speech that began with women as “mama grizzlies” defending their children’s economic interests (“My kid is not your ATM”) ends with a call for a new kind of feminism: “As an Alaskan woman, I’m proud to consider myself a frontier feminist like those early pioneering women of the West. “Now, maybe my jumping on the national stage was a bit of a shock to some people,” Palin went on. “I know that some left-wing feminists, they sure didn’t know what to make of an Alaskan chick out there talking about ... the Second Amendment and talking about raising family and kids — the more the merrier — and, you know, all that.” She proceeded to thank one of the largest and most effective pro-life organizations in the country, the Susan B. Anthony List, named for a key 19th-century leader who opposed abortion. “I’m grateful to have a place like this, full of sisters who are not put off by a gun-toting, pro-life mom of a fun, full family — never dull.” Women can do anything. We can bear children under less than ideal circumstances. Like Sarah and her “strong and independent” daughter Bristol. 2010, Sarah Palin announced exuberantly, is the year “when commonsense conservative women get things done for our country.” I don’t know if it’s true or not. But I’ll tell you one thing: Sarah Palin had me at the word “Trig.” — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

‘Life’ goes on Another successful Relay For Life in the books; thanks to those who made it so good It’s hard to believe Relay For Life was held over the weekend, since it barely rained. Those who participate in this annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society know that rain has been an all-too-frequent companion for the fundraiser. Despite bad weather in the past, hundreds take part, either by visiting the site or staffing booths that sell a variety of foods and souvenirs to raise money for the cause. This year was no exception. Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge was teeming Friday night and Saturday with people walking the track, selling a variety of tasty

food, hearing music, or participating in games and other activities. The music as usual was outstanding. The level of cooperation was at its peak. Relay For Life is a true community effort. It takes an army of volunteers to put it on each year, as well as the cooperation of businesses that form teams to raise money to meet the local goal. The fun is being creative, coming up with a gimmick that might work in raising more money. Throughout the year the teams hold events such as yard sales and food sales to raise their totals and meet their personal goals.

Through all the fun, of course, is a serious message. Almost everyone is affected by cancer, either through friends or family members. The cure has been elusive, but the support for those who are suffering must go on. Much of the money raised locally says here in providing services and education. The research goes on. The money raised by community Relay For Life events such as the one in Sevier County goes a long way in meeting needs and funding that cure. Thanks to all who had a hand in another successful Relay. Now let’s start thinking about the 2011 version.

Political view

Public forum Photograph of bear when alive would be better for the public

Editor: A picture is worth a thousand words. I hope the effort of our guests to Laurel Falls trail for the photo they were pursuing of our bear cub was not wasted. It would be a real shame that the life of this magnificent creature of God was extinguished without someone having documentation that she existed — a photo deserving of her short life as opposed to the one on the front page of The Mountain Press on May 15. You know, the one of her being carried away for disposal. Those photos saved me about 900 words. Dinah L. Bays Gatlinburg

Park personnel should have closed Laurel Falls trail

Editor: Like many others, I am outraged about the entire situation surrounding the “attack” on

Laurel Falls Trail. I think it is pathetic that the National Park Service, according to Nancy Gray, admitted to knowing about reports of people feeding bears along that trail two weeks prior to this alleged attack. Why did the park service not temporarily close the trail and attempt to relocate these bears to prevent further incidents of people intentionally feeding and approaching the animals? They relocate the garbage bears in Gatlinburg all the time; why could something not have been done regarding one of the most accessed trails in the park? Also, I would love to be informed as to why the man, who, according to the numerous different Mountain Press articles and WBIR reports, did not require medical attention outside of park personnel, is not being fined when he is clearly in violation of the federal law that states it is illegal to willfully and intentionally approach wildlife within 50 yards. Also, witnesses the day of the attack said they saw people feeding these bears. Why were park rangers not present and issuing citations for breaking federal laws that prohibit approaching the wildlife and feeding them?

Perhaps the law enforcement park rangers should better monitor all areas of the national park, especially areas that have received numerous prior reports of illegal activity. The park service should also invest grant money to post larger signs that state the federal laws prohibiting approaching/feeding of wildlife, the amount of fines, and the amount of jail time. If funding is some sort of issue for the NPS, then maybe if rangers did their jobs of writing citations to people who break laws then the money collected from the fines will circulate back into the federal funding. Maybe that will get the message across to everyone that it is illegal to approach a wild animal in the park, even for a closer picture, and it is illegal to feed the animals even if you think they are underfed for whatever reason. This is not a glorified, admission-free zoo. The park was created as a free recreation area by President Roosevelt, and people need to respect that and stop ruining it for everyone else, especially the local residents. Katie Pittser Cosby

PREP SOCCER

SCHS coach and 13 soccer players honored by 2-AAA Bears’ Atchley tabbed Coach of the Year, Seymour and SCHS place four each on first team SEVIERVILLE — A slew of local players were named to the 2-AAA All-District soccer team recently by the leagues coaches, and Sevier County coach Bryan Atchley was named Coach of the Year. Atchley, who piloted the Bears team to its first regular season district title, had eight players selected for the first and second teams. First-year Seymour coach Drew Payne, whose team surprised the IMAC by allowing just one goal en route to a District Tournament Championship, had five players selected to the All-District teams. Atchley was humble about being tabbed Coach of the Year, instead choosing to credit his assistants, Tim Bohanan and Garrett Young. “And those (players) make me look good,” Atchley said. “(But) they’ve got to have a coach of year, and (the district coaches) were gracious enough to vote me. I appreciate it.” Joining their coach with first-

Coach Bryan Atchley talks to his team following a game. Atchley was 2-AAA’s Coach of the Year as the Bears’ won the regular season in the IMAC.

team honors were Sevier County senior Thomas Garreau, sophomores Austin Jenkins and Erick Flores and freshman Nelson Hernandez. Several other Bears were also honored with second-team selections — juniors Brandon tinker and Caleb Knight and seniors Sam Collett and Dominic Kendall. Seymour also had four selections to the first team.

Making the cut for the Eagles were seniors Austin Acre and Jacob Lindsey, junior Corbin Marine and sophomore Robell Scott. Also earning second-team AllDistrict honors was senior defender Nathan Drain. Both coaches had a lot to say about their players selected. Here’s a sampling: Sevier County Thomas Garreau: “He’s our senior leader and captain,” Atchley said. “He’s been playing since he was a freshman, and I’ve seen a lot of maturity from him. He can play anywhere on the field. He’s that kind of player. He’s got a lot of talent and a lot of ability. He’s an absolute joy to be around and to coach.” Erick Flores: “He’s tireless, tireless, tireless,” Atchley said. “He controls the game. He moved back to the midfield, and that really began to change things for us. He’s a tireless worker. He gets in and out of games like nobody I’ve seen. He’s magic with the ball. He’s a joy to coach. He listens and takes coaching well.” Nelson Hernandez: “He came from out of nowhere,” Atchley said. “It’s kind of ironic. Some of the kids told me about a player they’d played with in the summer, and I had him in my class and I didn’t even know it. He’s a good kid. I didn’t think I’d ever see a kid

faster than Stephan Fox, but then I saw Nelson. He’s played hardly any organized soccer at all. The sky’s the limit for him, I’m looking for great, great things from him.” Austin Jenkins: “He moved back to sweeper this year,” Atchley said. “He just stepped right in as a sophomore and lo and behold he makes all district. He broke his nose in Jefferson county game and had to wear a mask the rest of the season and didn’t phase him at all. He does a great job back there. He does a great job for us.” Brandon Tinker: “He’s a bull,” Atchley said. “He’s got that football mentality. You don’t get by him. He’s just solid back there, he started as a sophomore and just carried on.” Sam Collett: “As my wife would say, if we could freeze a kid in time for my daughter, that’s who it would be. He came in as a freshman and was just average at best. He absolutely worked tirelessly over the last three years. I didn’t even know if he’d start this year, and he was just a couple of votes from first team.” Caleb Knight: “(He’s) kind of the same type kid as Sam,” Atchley said. “He’s just continued to improve and improve. He really stepped into the starting role this year. And he’s our team’s best friend.” Dominic Kendall: “Dominic

Earning their stripes ...

goes from starting as a sophomore to splitting time last year,” Atchley said. “He got kicked in the face at South-Doyle and after that he has a brain tumor. I didn’t know if he’d ever come back. He told me in the preseason that he’d be all-district, and he was.” Corbin Marine: “He had a really good year,” coach Payne said. “He played defensive mid, which is kind of like the quarterback of our team. I remember talking to him before the season and explaining that role to him and asked him if he could handle the pressure, and he handled it well. He had an excellent district tournament and scored the winning goal against Sevier County, and the kid can run for days. He just goes forever and that really helps the position he plays.” Robell Scott: “Robell has got a great amount of just raw, natural talent,” Payne said. “He plays center-mid, and a lot of our build-up goes through him. He’s so good on the ball, it’s really unbelievable, his foot skills on the ball as a sophomore. He got better and better at becoming a play-maker, at the end of the season we really relied on him to make things happen. He’s a natural talent and he’s got a great future ahead of him.” Austin Acre: “He played attackSee All-district, Page A9

Smokies strand 10 runners in 4-1 loss to Jacksonville Suns SEVIERVILLE — Those who arrived late to Sunday afternoon’s contest between the Tennessee Smokies and Jacksonville Suns missed most of the afternoon’s offense. Jacksonville’s three-run first was too much for the Smokies to handle in a 4-1 loss in front of 3,359 fans. The loss puts the series at two games apiece and the Smokies at 26-18 on the season. Jacksonville improves to 28-15. Tennessee starter Hung-Wen Chen did not fare well early on. Already in trouble in the first with runners on second and third and one out, it looked like Chen might get out the jam by getting Mark Saccomanno to strike out on a foul tip for the second out. Jason Delaney would not let Chen off the hook though, crushing a Chen breaking ball over the left-field wall to put the Suns up 3-0. The Smokies answered back in the bottom of the frame off Suns starter Alejandro Sanabia. After Tony Campana’s leadoff single, Ty Wright delivered a one-out double down the left-field line. Campana

raced around from first to score Tennessee’s their first run of the game. Matt Spencer followed with a single to put runners on first and third with one out. As would be the case all afternoon though for the Smokies, they were unable to convert, ending their early threat. After the first frame, both starters settled into a groove. Chen held Jacksonville scoreless through the next five innings and left after the sixth. While he took the loss to fall to 3-5, he did strike out six. He allowed the three runs on eight hits, walking two. Sanabia was dominant after the first, holding the Smokies scoreless over the next six innings to improve to 5-0 on the year. Matt Peterson threw a scoreless ninth to pick up his seventh save. Campana and Clevenger each had two hits on the afternoon, and Wright’s run-scoring double put him in a tie for the Southern League lead in doubles with 14. The Smokies went 2-for-11 though with runners in scoring position and left 10 on. From submitted reports

CLEVELAND (AP) — Of the many reasons the Cleveland Cavaliers had for firing coach Mike Brown after five seasons without an NBA title, one mattered most. They can’t lose LeBron James. Less than two weeks after their stunning, second-round loss to Boston in the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers fired Brown on Monday, an expected move that perhaps indicates the team believes it can re-sign James, the two-time MVP and free agent-in-waiting. Brown was the most successful coach in franchise history. In five seasons, he led the Cavs to the playoffs every year, to the finals in 2007 and to 127 wins in the past two seasons. But Brown failed to win a championship, and after Cleveland’s second straight early exodus

from the postseason — a collapse that included two blowout losses at home and dissension in the Cavs’ locker room — and with James about to explore free agency, owner Dan Gilbert decided to make a change. “After a long and deep analysis of all of the factors that led to the disappointing early ends to our playoff runs over the past two seasons, we concluded that it was time for the Cavaliers to move in a different direction,” Gilbert said in a statement. “The expectations of this organization are very high and, although change always carries an element of risk, there are times when that risk must be taken in an attempt to break through to new, higher levels of accomplishment. “This is one of those times.”

We finished the season with 8 shutouts. We only had one at the halfway point of the season, and that was killing us, and we ended up finishing with eight, and that was a lot because of Nathan.

Advice

Trust issues arise after woman finds lewd content on boyfriend’s cell phone

Zits

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I just turned 50 and have been divorced for the past seven years. I recently moved in with “Duke,” whom I met a year ago. Duke’s job requires a lot of traveling, and lately, things don’t seem right between us. Women call his cell phone frequently, and he won’t answer when he’s with me. He says they are coworkers and he doesn’t need to speak to them. But I also found lewd text messages from women and naked pictures of them on his phone. His son also told me that Duke is online a lot, talking to different women in our area. I confronted Duke about what I found and told him I can no longer trust him. I also stupidly admitted I checked his phone, and he tried to turn it around and claim he can’t trust me either because I snooped. Duke says he loves me, but if that’s true, he wouldn’t be doing these things behind my back. I do not plan for this relationship to go any further (meaning marriage), but I’m not sure what I ought to do. Should I continue to live with the lies and deception and go out and have fun myself, or should I find a place of my own? I think I know the answer, but would like your opinion. -Hurt in Florida Dear Hurt: You should absolutely find a place of your own. Duke is not trustworthy and has no intention of changing his behavior. There is no future or contentment in this relationship unless you need a roommate to help pay the rent, in which case, you should have separate

bedrooms and separate lives. Sorry. Dear Annie: My son met his girlfriend while in college. They moved in together, and “Dora” became pregnant. After a few months, she decided they should move back to Nebraska to live near her father. My son had two jobs at the time, so they agreed he should stay to tie up loose ends and then look for a job in Omaha. While apart, Dora became difficult and told my son he had no say in anything to do with the child. With no job and not knowing anyone in Omaha, he decided not to move until the child was born. But now he can’t get in touch with his former girlfriend or her father. Dora won’t return his calls. How can we find out whether Dora had the baby? My son wants to do the right thing financially and emotionally for his child. What rights does he have? -- Not Knowing Is Painful Dear Not Knowing: Plenty. If he is this child’s father, not only does he have an obligation to support the baby, he has the right to sue for custody. Tell him to see a lawyer immediately. And he might want to get a paternity test, just to be sure. Dear Annie: I would like to add my two cents to your reply to “It’s Cold in Maine,” the woman who was concerned about

her granddaughter’s language on Facebook. Facebook is a wonderful tool to find old friends and keep in touch. But as Grandma learned, there is often a problem of “too much information.” My husband un-friended our daughter-in-law because he didn’t want to be bombarded with her sorority activities and fashion comments. She was hurt and angry and considered it an insult. I urge people instead to use the “hide” feature to keep others’ comments from appearing on your wall, while still allowing you to check their pages and keep the lines of communication open. Most young people go through a phase of using colorful language, and much of it is for shock value, so telling them to stop will fall on deaf ears. It is OK to tell them how you feel in a private conversation, but un-friending sends the message that you no longer care about them. I also would not reprimand people in the public areas of Facebook or complain to their mother like “Maine” did. -- Facebook Fan Dear Fan: Thanks for the suggestions. We concur.
