Shannon Rodney Baltimore, a suspect in the May murder of Mary Jo Miller, is led into court on Friday.
SEVIERVILLE — A surprise confession letter sent earlier this week to The Mountain Press by one of the suspects in the murder of Mary Jo Miller bought one of his co-defendants a pass on his first appearance in court Friday morning. Shannon Rodney Baltimore was set for a preliminary hearing in front of General Sessions Court Judge Jeff Rader, but instead was told he’d be kept in custody for a few more weeks to await a new date for that proceeding. Defense attorney Andrew Farmer asked that the matter be postponed until defendant Steven Eugene Weaver, who along with Baltimore and Theodore Ratliff is charged with first-degree murder, can be present in court. He said Weaver’s letter maintaining he alone wielded the weapon in Miller’s death was an unexpected twist in the case that needs to be examined further. “As we all know, we have a letter from a co-defendant in this case,” Farmer said, referencing a story that appeared just one day earlier in The
Mountain Press. “I see it as in the best interests of Mr. Baltimore if I could have Mr. Weaver here. I would like to get him on the record in case anything should happen to him.” Apparently not everyone was informed about Weaver’s confession, though. Rader called Farmer and District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn to his bench to confer about the document, which appears in its entirety on the newspaper’s Web site. “We’ve got a little bit of a problem that’s apparently arisen in the last week that I was unaware of,” Rader said after he sent the attorneys back to their posts. “Let’s look at rescheduling this to June 25.” With that and a promise that Weaver would be brought to testify during the later proceeding, Baltimore’s day in court was ended after only about five minutes. Baltimore, who like his fellow defendants is marked by several tattoos, including one of a cross on the back of his neck, was led into the courtroom in shackles and standard-issue prison stripes. Bailiffs were unable to reveal where he is being held, but he was See Hearing, Page A4
Sentencing bill draws praise

who commit such crimes as shoplifting, theft or minor drug offenses. However, those who commit such crimes as armed robbery or aggravated burglary would be imprisoned longer before being released. Under present law, those criminals could be out after serving as little as 30 percent of their sentence. Now they’d have to serve at least 70 percent, Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, said. “Those who deserve a second chance will get it,” Overbey said. Rep. Richard Montgomery, R-Sevierville, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the idea was to ease prison and jail overcrowding by reserving space for those who deserve to be sent away. “It opens up cells for violent offenders,” Montgomery said. “It costs the taxpayers a lot of money to incarcerate someone.” Ogle said he understands the tough choices officials sometimes have to make about releasing inmates early, but the public wants violent criminals to serve more time for their offenses. “This is a great start, a significant start,” Ogle said of the bill.

A legislative bill to make those who commit violent crimes stay in jail longer, and those who are firsttime offenders of less serious crimes be given alternative punishment, is being praised by local officials, who see it as a way to save scarce prison beds for those who really deserve them. The bill, HB2813, will require criminals convicted of violent crimes to serve more of their sentence, while other offenders can be ordered to pay restitution or do community service instead of being in a cell. “This bill could have the greatest impact in restoring some of the faith in the legal system that we’ve had in a long, long time,” Circuit Judge Rex Henry Ogle said. “Oftentimes you have had to sit there and hold your nose when you put people on alternative sentencing that, in all candor, you know should be going to jail or the penitentiary. It looks like this bill will give judges greater leeway in sentencing violent offenders.” Those who would be eligible for alternative sentencing would be people

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — A plan that might bring a folk school and a rustic-themed commercial development to Sevierville near the Apple Barn moved forward with a few minor changes in front of the city’s Planning Commission Thursday. The proposal for The Farm at Apple Valley has been bouncing around for some time, but took a concrete step forward this week as the first phase was given a thumbsup by the planning officials. The plan as a whole encompasses about 84 acres along Lonesome

Hembree receives Special Educator of the Year award By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Pigeon Forge Middle School teacher Kim Hembree’s plaque for Special Education Teacher of the Year, awarded by the Sevier County Civitan Club, was unable to be presented to her right away — so a friend and colleague made a special one of her own. “Isn’t this funny?” said Hembree, pointing to a wood plaque with stickers that read, “So You Think You’re Special Educator of the Year.” “I just love it!”
Valley Road, in some places counting the land on both sides of that thoroughfare. City leaders recently voted to allow that road to be realigned to help accommodate the new development. The site plan considered Thursday shows riverside and farmhouse cottages, walking trails, a restaurant, a folk school, workshops and a sorghum mill. All of it, development firm Massey Group Chief Executive Officer Mark Grayson explained, will carry a rustic theme and the buildings will be made to look like old farm structures. The project is set to cover a considerable chunk of land, extend-
This was the first year the Sevier County Civitan Club presented the award. When PFMS principal Troy Kelley heard of the new recognition, he encouraged Hembree to apply. “It was very exciting,” said Hembree, who describes herself as a “big kid at heart who likes to have fun.” “I was totally shocked when I found out I had won.” Hembree has been teaching since 1989, with her first job in Mountain City.
ing all the way back along the Little Pigeon River to the end of Lonesome Valley Road. While that plan, which Director of Planning Jim Bryant said has undergone some minor changes since the board first considered it, is expansive, the work will start on a smaller scale. The developers presented a request that they be allowed to proceed with work on the first phase, which their site plan shows including the school, mill and an outdoor cooking pavilion. That construction is set to take place on the front 1.44 acres of the property, just behind a row of houses along Apple Valley

Road. While both those proposals got unanimous approvals, the board gave an equally-in-agreement rejection to a proposal to rezone land on Guffy Hollow Road off Allensville Road from R-1 (lowdensity residential) to C-1 (rural commercial). The owners of the land, which is outside the city’s limits but inside its planning region, are in talks to sell it to a man who hopes to develop it into an ATV trail and zipline venture under the name Smoky Mountain Family Adventures.

Anger grows as disaster reaches Panhandle beaches PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The smell of oil hangs heavy in the sea air. Children with plastic shovels scoop up clumps of goo in the waves. Beachcombers collect tarballs as if they were seashells. The BP catastrophe arrived with the tide on the Florida Panhandle’s white sands Friday as the company worked to adjust a cap over the gusher in a desperate and untested bid to arrest what is already the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The widening scope of the slowmotion disaster deepened the anger and despair just as President Barack Obama arrived for his third visit to the stricken Gulf Coast. The oil has now reached the shores of four Gulf states — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida — turning its marshlands into death zones for wildlife and staining its beaches rust and crimson in an affliction that some said brought to mind the plagues and punishments of the Bible. “In Revelations it says the water will turn to blood,� said P.J. Hahn, director of coastal zone management for Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish. “That’s what it looks like out here — like the Gulf is bleeding. This is going to AP Photo/Orlando Sentinel, Kevin Spear People walk amongst tar balls that lay on the beach in Pensacola Beach, choke the life out of everyFla. on Friday. Waves of gooey tar blobs were washing ashore in growing thing.� He added: “It makes me numbers on the white sand of the Florida Panhandle Friday as a slick want to cry.� from the BP spill drifted closer to shore. Six weeks after the April
20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers, the well has leaked somewhere between 22 million and 47 million gallons of oil, according to government estimates. A device resembling an upside-down funnel was lowered over the blownout well a mile beneath the sea late Thursday to try to capture most of the oil and direct it to a ship on the surface. But crude continued to escape into the Gulf through vents designed to prevent ice crystals from clogging the cap. Engineers hoped to close several vents throughout the day. “Progress is being made, but we need to caution against overoptimism,� said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man for the crisis. Early in the day, he guessed that the cap was collecting 42,000 gallons a day — less than one-tenth of the amount leaking from the well. Similarly, later in the day, in a visit to Louisiana, Obama said it was “way too early to be optimistic� about

Back to the Gulf: Obama sees progress on oil spill KENNER, La. (AP) — On his third personal trek to the Gulf disaster, President Barack Obama said Friday he sees some progress in fighting the enormous oil spill but it’s “way too early to be optimistic� about BP’s latest control effort. Aiming to demonstrate command and personal engagement on day 45 of the catastrophe, Obama criticized the British oil giant for spending money on advertising and paying dividends to shareholders in the midst of crisis. “What I don’t want to hear is when they’re spending that kind of money on their shareholders and spending that kind of money on TV advertising that they’re nickeling and diming fishermen or small businesses here in the Gulf who are having a hard time,� he said. The president spoke after arriving at the New Orleans airport for his third inspection tour, and his second in eight days, with national frustration boiling over. Obama indicated he felt it, too, along with residents of the Gulf and the rest of the country. “This has been a disaster for this region, and people are understandably frightened and concerned about what the next few months and the next few years may hold,� Obama said after attending a briefing with Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the chief federal official for the spill response, and the governors of Louisiana, Florida and Alabama, along with

other officials. He then headed for Grand Isle, La., a small barrier island, to hear from people whose livelihoods are threatened by the spill — the shrimpers, oyster fishermen, shop keepers and hotel workers so dependent on a thriving Gulf. A driving rain forced him to drop plans to travel by helicopter and instead make a 2 1/2 hour drive south to the coast. Along the way, the president’s motorcade passed a small clutch of people standing alongside the road waving a cardboard sign that said: “HELP US NOW!!� At another spot, the side of a building had been adorned with a portrait of Obama reminiscent of posters of him during his presidential campaign. Instead of “hope� or “change,� the words “what now?� were painted on his forehead. Next to that, a painting of the grim reaper carried the BP logo and the words “You killed our Gulf — our way of life.� The president’s visit came as engineers with BP worked to settle a funnellike cap over the deep-sea leak to try to collect some of the crude now fouling four states. It was not clear how much oil was being captured, and some continued to flow, generating frightening photos of seabirds clogged in the muck.
Underscoring the mounting political implications, Obama late Thursday abruptly canceled plans for his trip to Indonesia and Australia later this month. Ahead of the Gulf visit, he declared himself furious at a situation that “is imperiling an entire way of life and an entire region for potentially years.� He criticized BP for not respond-
ing more quickly. But polls show the public growing more negative toward the president’s own handling of the spill, and he was aiming to demonstrate he was staying on top of the situation Friday — without getting in the way. Obama visited the Gulf region twice in May, and this tour surely will not be his last.

the latest attempt to stanch the spill. One unanswered question was whether the cap fit snugly. BP sheared off the well pipe before installing the cap but was unable to make a smooth cut. As the operation went on at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, the effect of the BP spill was increasingly evident. Swimmers at Pensacola Beach rushed out of the water after wading into the mess, while other beachgoers inspected the clumps with fascination, some taking pictures. Children were seen playing with the globs as if they were Play-Doh. David Lucas of Jonesville, La., and a group of friends abruptly cut their visit short after wading into oily water. “It was sticky brown globs out there,� Lucas said after he and the others cleaned their feet and left. Health officials said that people should stay away from the mess but that swallowing a little oil-tainted water or getting slimed by a tarball is no reason for alarm.

transported to court in an armored van. The suspect showed no emotion during the brief proceeding and even seemed fairly relaxed, leading to his being quietly prompted by a bailiff to sit up in his chair and face the judge. Baltimore and the other two men are facing felony murder charges in relation to the May 7 death of Miller, who was found beaten, stabbed and shot in her north Sevier County home. The preliminary hearing gives a judge in General Sessions Court a chance to decide if the matter will be bound over to the Grand Jury and potentially on to a Circuit Court hearing. Weaver last week waived his right to such a hearing, something he states in the letter he did because he intended to confess to the whole crime. He contends his niece, who looked set to be the state’s key witness, lied when she implicated Baltimore and Ratliff in the murder, taking full

However, that deal may have stalled Thursday after city officials worried about Guffy Hollow’s fitness to serve a commercial development. “That road is just too small for any kind of commercial enterprise,� Planning Commission member Jerry Loveday said. Several members agreed, pointing out the pavement is only 12 feet wide, not even enough for two cars to pass each other. It was also on concerns about the access that Bryant said he would suggest the group recommend the County Commission, which will have the final say on the petition because of its location outside the city’s

In 1990, she worked parttime as a resource and gifted teacher at Wearwood Elementary School and Northview Middle School. The next year, she worked part-time at Wearwood Elementary and PFMS, and the following year she became full-time at PFMS as Comprehensive Development Classroom teacher. “It really is a calling,� she said of her field. She first became interested in children with special needs when she participated in a Girls in Action group at her church as a youth. The group would supervise children with disabilities when their parents were needed elsewhere. “I would sit with one girl who had severe disabilities. I really felt for her and her family. It was my first exposure to special needs of any kind.� Although some days can be frustrating when she feels like progress is at a stand-still, Hembree can’t imagine doing anything else. “I’m just drawn to the uniqueness of these little

Disappointing jobs report sends stocks sliding NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell to their lowest level in four months Friday after the government said hiring remains weak and another European country warned its economy was in trouble. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 323 points to close below 10,000. It was the lowest finish since February and the third-worst slide of the year. Major indexes all lost more than 3 percent. The drop pushed the market back into “correction� mode, meaning a decline of at least 10 percent from a recent high. Interest rates slid after traders shoveled money into the safety of Treasurys. Retailers were among the hardest-hit stocks after investors bet that a weak job market would discourage consumers from spending. Macy’s fell 6.5 percent. Financial stocks also fell sharply on concerns that borrowers would continue

having problems paying their bills. Banks were hurt by more worries about their exposure to Europe’s debt crisis. American Express lost 5.3 percent. The government’s May jobs report came as an unpleasant surprise for investors who had grown a little more upbeat about the domestic economy the past few days. The Labor Department said private employers hired just 41,000 jobs in May, down dramatically from 218,000 in April and the lowest number since January. The news made it clear that the economic recovery isn’t yet picking up the momentum that investors have been looking for. The government said 431,000 jobs overall were created last month, but most of those them, 411,000, came from government hiring of temporary census workers. The overall number also fell short of expectations. Economists polled by

Thomson Reuters had forecast employers would add 513,000 jobs. “People are looking for one turning point,� Daniel Penrod, senior industry analyst for the California Credit Union League, said of the monthly jobs report. “That’s not realistic. This growth will be much slower and more gradual than in the past.� The unemployment rate fell to 9.7 percent from 9.9 percent in April. That was slightly better than the 9.8 percent unemployment rate economists had forecast. The jobs report was the latest during the week to signal that the economy isn’t as robust as hoped. “It’s almost as if the worst fears of the market were realized, at least in this one report,� said Richard Sparks, senior equities analyst at Schaeffer’s Investment Research.
The slowdown in hiring last month cast more doubt on how much consumers will be able to pick up their spending. A day earlier, retailers reported sluggish sales for May. Stocks of clothing retailers were among the big losers after the jobs report as traders bet shoppers would stick to buying necessities. Credit card companies and regional banks also fell sharply. Meanwhile, the spokesman for Hungary’s prime minister described the country’s economy as being in a “grave� situation. He also said his government is ready to avoid a crisis like the one being faced by Greece, which had to be bailed out by the European Union. Spain and Portugal are also struggling. The Dow fell 323.31, or 3.2 percent, to 9,931.97, its steepest drop since May 20. All 30 stocks that make up the index fell.
Recall raises questions about promotional glasses MILLVILLE, N.J. (AP) — A recall of 12 million cadmium-tainted “Shrek� drinking glasses sold by McDonald’s raises questions about the safety of millions of similar cheap promotional products that have been sitting in Americans’ kitchen cabinets for years. Only glasses produced for the latest “Shrek� movie are included in the voluntary recall announced Friday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, but they were made by a company that McDonald’s has worked with for 15 years. And many other companies make similar glassware with cartoon characters or other designs baked in. “It could have been any glass company,� said Ron
Biagi, an executive with Arc International, which made the glasses. “We all do the same thing using materials from the same suppliers.� McDonald’s said the U.S.-made glasses met federal guidelines for cadmium under testing conducted by a CPSC-approved lab. CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson, however, said the glasses fall short of standards for the toxic metal that the agency is in the process of developing. The CPSC warned consumers to immediately stop using the glasses McDonald’s sold as part of a promotional campaign for the movie “Shrek Forever After.� The fast-food giant said it issued the recall “in an abundance of caution� and “in light of
CPSC’s evolving assessment of standards for consumer products.� “We believe the Shrek glassware is safe for consumer use,� McDonald’s USA spokesman Bill Whitman said. “However, again to ensure that our customers receive safe products from us, we made the decision to

stop selling them and voluntarily recall these products effective immediately.� On its website, McDonald’s said customers can learn how to return the glasses and request a refund by visiting www.mcdonalds.com/glasses or calling McDonald’s toll-free number, 1-800-244-6227.

House passes state’s spending plan By LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — After weeks of sometimes contentious negotiations, the state’s annual spending plan is headed to the governor for his consideration. The plan is a compromise that legislative leaders from both chambers worked out earlier this week. The House passed the proposal 94-0 on Friday, a day after the Senate approved it 30-3. Members of the House chamber applauded after the measure passed. “It’s a budget that provides a
firm, fair and fiscal plan for our state,” said Democratic House Finance Chairman Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley. House Speaker Kent Williams agreed. “It was a long process; a lot of give and take,” said the Elizabethton independent. “I think this is a budget we can all be proud of.” Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen told The Associated Press this week that he’s pleased with the compromise, mainly because it covers what he considers serious areas such as children’s services and the management structure for Tennessee’s “Race to the Top” program. Fitzhugh, like Bredesen had also

Mills
LONDON (AP) — A judge on Friday rejected claims by a nanny that she was mistreated by Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills. Sara Trumble told an employment tribunal in southern England Mills t h a t she was hired to look after Mills and McCartney’s daughter Beatrice, now 6, but was relegated to domestic chores after returning from maternity leave in 2008. She also claimed that Mills forced her to work long hours without extra pay. Tribunal judge Steven Vowles dismissed Trumble’s claims for sexual discrimination and unfair dismissal, saying he “did not find the claimant to be a persuasive witness.” “The claimant’s account of the respondent’s alleged animosity towards her pregnancy, maternity and childcare responsibility was not supported by the surrounding facts proved by the tribunal,” the ruling said.

Three Cheers Students deserve hugs for military teddy bear project
Gulf disaster can’t be blamed on the president President Obama is angry. His brisk demeanor while giving a speech at Carnegie Mellon University a few days ago signaled that loud and clear. No cute remarks, no comic relief — just straightahead knives directed at the oil companies and the Republican Party. Somehow, it is all going wrong for the president these days. The Rasmussen daily tracking poll among likely voters has the president’s job approval rating hovering at around 45 percent, and even stalwart Democrat James Carville yelled at him the other day. Obama has big problems on the following fronts: illegal immigration, terrorist trials, Israel’s aggressive posture and, most importantly, the economy. But it is the oil spill that, I believe, galls him the most. There is simply nothing the president can do. No one on this earth has come up with a way to cap that oil gusher a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico. I mean, they are even consulting with “Avatar” director James Cameron, who once shot an underwater flick. What is he going to do? Send Leo DiCaprio down to plug the hole? Some folks, like Carville, are actually blaming the president for disaster-related events. Carville is demanding the prez “come down heaah.” And then what? Obama has already made an appearance on the Louisiana shoreline wearing pants better suited for lunch at The Capital Grille. The president looked forlorn — but not as forlorn as the oilcovered pelicans. Fed up with being a pinata, Obama has now ordered his attorney general, the fearsome Eric Holder, to launch a criminal investigation into British Petroleum Corp. I just hope Holder doesn’t demand the trial be held in New York City. Also, the president is promising to “roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks to oil companies so we can prioritize investments in clean energy research and development.” That means big oil will most likely sell more product to China and India, even as the Obama administration spends more money on energy that might work someday. I’m kinda thinking Jimmy Carter and long gas lines at the pumps. Remember that horror in 1979? Intellectually honest people understand that Obama had nothing to do with the spill, and even with all the power the United States has, the country has no gizmo to fix the problem. For anti-Obama people, the fact that the president is getting slimed by the slick is karma. For pro-Obama folks, it’s very bad luck. There comes a time when fate can determine success or failure. Obama is a man who is used to controlling his environment. But this environmental disaster in the Gulf is out of everybody’s control. And Obama knows it. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You? Distributed by Creators Syndicate.

Inspired by a picture of a soldier with his son and an Air Force teddy bear, Sevier County High School sophomore Lindsey Layman, Gatlinburg-Pittman sophomore Calleigh Allen and G-P junior Cameron Allen came up with an idea that’s easy to cuddle up to. It’s called — and this is clever — Operation Baghdaddy Bears. Sgt. Stacy Cutshaw gave his son the teddy bear, planting a recorded message inside, the idea being that it would give the child comfort while he was overseas. Layman and the Allens picked up on the concept and sent recorders the fathers in Cutshaw’s National Guard 134 Security Forces Squadron. After the messages were returned, the teens placed them inside the bears, put them in uniforms and mailed them to the soldiers’ children. Pigeon Forge’s Three Bears General Store donated the toys and the teens raised the money for shipping and handling by putting on bake sales. That covered the bear necessities and gives a lot of soldiers’ children some comfort while their dad or mom is overseas.
SCHS senior Kelly Jones helping Nashville family
Kelly Jones is another local high school student who seems to live by the words President John Kennedy made famous in his inaugural address in 1961: “ ... ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. ...” Jones, a rising senior at Sevier County, got wind of a family with local ties whose lives were severely disrupted by the recent heavy rains and flooding in Nashville. And she decided to do something about, namely help them rebuild. To that end, Jones has set up an account at Sevier County Bank called “Nashville Flood Disaster Fund.” The fund is to help the family of 1973 SCHS graduate Gail Householder Reeder, her husband and their 17-yearold daughter. She is the daughter of retired educator and recent inductee into the Sevier County Hall of Fame, Julia Householder. Reeder and her family lost everything except a few clothes and some of the daughter’s school books. Jones is to be applauded for recognizing this need.
Pet project for all: Help Kindness Counts project
This is a cheer that the Sevier County community will have to earn — but one which we have no doubt it will. An organization called Kindness Counts, formerly known as Feral Cat Friends, needs the public’s support to raise about $50,000 to complete a building that could be a boon to pets and pet-owners alike. April Stone is president of Kindness Counts, and since 2006, when it purchased property off Chapman Highway, it has been working toward the goal of establishing a clinic that would provide low-cost spay, neuter and vaccination services. Kindness Counts has a 2,000-square-foot building that sits mostly empty except for a few items gathered for a fall fundraiser. The public needs to come through and earn a cheer. Money is needed to finish the building, that needs everything from dry wall and interior walls to plumbing and electricity. To help, donations to Kindness Counts, a nonprofit organization, can be made by mail to 134 Court Ave., Sevierville, 37862. More information is available by calling Stone at 654-2684.
Political view
Something has to be done about bears to avoid major catastrophe
Editor: First off, thanks to Editor Stan Voit for his excellent column of May 16 on Al Gore deserving an honorary degree from UT. Even though I was never an Al Gore fan, or regardless of anyone’s political choices, Al Gore has led an exemplary life of public service, as you so stated, representing his state, his country and his military. To any reader who disagrees, we are not on the same planet. I also loved his paragraph about bringing back “civility” to our country. Let’s acknowledge our differences without demonizing the other side. All in all, it was an excellent column that I hope you will re-run. Now, on to another subject of which, thankfully, many people are responding to: the bear situation. Thanks to Patty L. with her Facebook page on the recent senseless euthanization of bear. Laurel, and the recent letter about the ignorance of visitors and the sad ending for this particular bear; and the letter about posting fine amounts on signs to help discourage tourists from feeding bears.
Public forum I could never understand why this county, with our beautiful national park, is so passive about enforcing regulations associated with feeding or bothering the wildlife, or littering. I have lived in other states that absolutely enforce the violations for littering or feeding the wildlife. If a sign has a $500 fine posted for all to see, it is going to attract attention. The signs are not that big to begin with, yet we can erect these huge, hideous, rotating billboards that loom over the county. I cannot believe that it would take an act of Congress to get these signs in place. This recent tragic episode of a bear being euthanized, due to an ignorant tourist who was too close, enraged many of us. First off, to me a 60-pound bear is a “baby bear” and he scraped the foot of this visitor. It’s a shame he couldn’t have bitten off a good chunk of his foot to at least justify the bear having to be put down. Is it going to take an act of Congress to get penalty signs up, instead of warning signs — which, let’s face it, the tourists don’t even read. Driving the beautiful Highway 441 over the mountain into Cherokee is such a joy, until you come to a dead stop due to tourist cars with individuals who have lost all touch with reality, car engines still running, doors being flung open and
people racing across the road, climbing over the barriers in a single leap, fearlessly running down embankments or hovering under a tree with two bears up above them trying to eat. This has to stop or someday we’ll have a tragedy that will be of such proportions that all of us will ask how could this have been prevented. Can’t we act now? Cynthia Johnson Sevierville
Loss of Miss Ellie felt by many lovers of animals, pets
Editor: I just wanted to express my sadness at Miss Ellie’s passing. She was such a sweetheart and I watched her on TV. My Maltese is 14 this year, and I dread the day he passes. I wanted Miss Ellie’s “mom” to know that I share her loss because I know Miss Ellie won the hearts of many, me among them. She was truly a one-in-a-million champion and a truly loving companion.

A cast of characters hanging out in the hills of Gatlinburg By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Three-time ORCA National Convention casting champion Dan Basore, left, hits one of many targets in Friday morning’s contest as scorekeeper Roger Shultz watches on. Basore admits that he’s gone off the deep end when it comes to fishing and collecting angling gear, saying that he’s “taken it to a whole different level.” Basore went on to win his third ORCA title by scoring 92-of-100 in each of three different casting challenges on Friday.

GATLINBURG — Something seems fishy just off Ski Mountain Road. Nearly 100 antique reel and tackle enthusiasts from across the nation have converged upon The Lodge at Buckberry Creek in Gatlinburg this week, and they are inviting the public to join them today for some fun and education in the hills. “We’d like people to come in and see all the displays that our members have put together and just see how cool this stuff is,” said Jim Schottenham, president of the Old Reel Collectors Association. Each year, a new locale plays host to the ORCA National Convention, and this year the group decided on the Smoky Mountains. The group consists of all kinds, men and women, young and old, ranging from doctors to auction house managers to retired businessmen. They come from Texas, Wisconsin, and from the suburbs of Chicago, Ill. The diverse group boasts 900 registered members, some of which live in Japan, England See REELS, Page A9

Soderling returns to French final by defeating Berdych By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
Terry Gilliam/AP
Tiger Woods tosses his glove after a tee shot on the 18th hole during the second round of The Memorial golf tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club on Friday in Dublin, Ohio.
Woods still working on his swing, game, self By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer
DUBLIN, Ohio — Summer has arrived, the second major championship of the year is almost at hand and yet Tiger Woods’ game remains very much a work in progress. Woods struggled at times but still salvaged a 3-under 69 on Friday in the second round of the Memorial Tournament. At 3-under 141, he easily made the cut. “It was decent today. I hit more good shots today than I did yesterday, and I really putted well today,” said the Memorial’s only four-time winner. “It could have been a pretty good number.” That’s the thing about Woods, playing for the first time after missing three weeks due to a neck injury. He could have shot a really low score, but he also could have done far worse. That’s the way golf is when you’ve only played 11 competitive rounds all year. He hit only five of 15 fairways and just 11 greens in
regulation. He took only 26 putts, though, including several par putts beyond tap-in distance. While most pros would have retired to the range for some work with their coach, that’s not an option for Woods. He and his swing coach since 2004, Hank Haney, went their separate ways last month. Woods says he’s trying to work things out on his own. No one in the game is more closely attuned to his swing than Woods. On top of that, he has a trove of videotapes to check past form. Remember, this is a guy who rebuilt his swing — after dominating the game in 2000 like no one before or since. Steve Stricker, a good friend and No. 4 to Woods’ No. 1 in the world golf rankings, played with Woods the first 36 holes of the Memorial. “I think he’s got a little ways to go yet,” Stricker said of Woods’ quest to regain the form that resulted in 14 major championships. “I’ve
seen him play some unbelievable golf; we all have. His ability to score is still very, very good — uncanny. But he’s got some work to do — and he would be the first to admit that. But I saw more improvement today. He’s starting to hit shots, it seems, the way he wants to. He’s not driving it very well yet, but that’ll come.” Woods, who started on the 10th hole, birdied three of his first four holes coming to the reachable par-5 15th hole. He has won almost $4 million in his 11 trips to Muirfield Village Golf Club. One huge reason for that windfall over the years is because Woods dominates the par 5s. But so far in this Memorial, that hasn’t been the case. He’s just 3 under on those eight par 5s. About the only thing consistent about his round was the reaction from the fans. Every hole he received shouts of encouragement from male and female, young and old, and a huge ovation on every quality shot. Tiger fans remain loyal.
PARIS — Robin Soderling had been toiling in the hot sun for 3 1/2 hours when he sprinted after a shot in the final game, stretched and whipped a forehand winner while still on the run. The Swede’s legs remained fresh at the finish of his grueling French Open semifinal Friday, and he swept the last four games to overtake Tomas Berdych 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. Soderling’s only other Grand Slam final was at Roland Garros last year, when he lost to Roger Federer. “I was only thinking about getting through the first round. Now two weeks later, I’m in the final again,” Soderling told the crowd after his win. “It’s better than the best dream.” Soderling has a knack for upsets in Paris, with victories over Rafael Nadal last year and Federer this year. On Sunday, he’ll play the winner of the second semifinal between four-time champion Nadal and Jurgen Melzer. Venus and Serena Williams won their fourth consecutive Grand Slam doubles title and 12th overall by beating Katarina Srebotnik and Kveta Peschke 6-2, 6-3. Temperatures in the low 80s made for fast court conditions, and the first men’s semifinal quickly developed into a slugfest between two of the hardest hitters in tennis. Most points were short, and rallies were usually restricted to big swings from the backcourt, with few slices, drop shots,

Improbable pairing are in French Open women’s final By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer PARIS — Francesca Schiavone has provided the better photo op, her beaming face caked with clay after she kissed the court to celebrate her semifinal victory at the French Open. Samantha Stosur has made the bigger headlines, with three consecutive wins over players who have been ranked No. 1. The headlines now come with a question mark, as in: Schiavone and Stosur? For the title at Roland Garros? The pairing in Saturday’s final is the biggest surprise yet from a tournament full of
them, starting on the first day when Venus Williams took the court wearing a red and black corset. Williams and her outfit are gone. So are top-ranked Serena Williams and four-time champion Justine Henin, both beaten by Stosur, who showed those victories were no fluke by drubbing former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic in Thursday’s semifinal. Stosur cracked the top 10 in the rankings for the first time just last month. The Australian is 26 but hardly a late-bloomer compared with Schiavone, a 29-year-old Italian who will move into the top 10 for See WOMEN, Page A9

the first time next week. Schiavone (pronounced Skeeah-VOH-nay) is seeded No. 17. Only once, in 1933, has the title been won by a woman not seeded in the top 10. She and the No. 7-seeded Stosur are both firsttime Grand Slam finalists. Their lack of experience on such a big stage raises the worrisome possibility butterflies will decide the women’s title — as tends to happen at Roland Garros. Dinara Safina, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Mary Pierce and Elena Dementieva all succumbed to jitters in recent finals. Stosur is the first Australian woman to reach a Grand Slam final in 30 years, while Schiavone is the first Italian woman ever to do so. Even close relatives are surprised they’re in the final. After Stosur’s semifinal win, her parents and brothers in

“It was really tough to play my game,� Soderling said, “because he was hitting so hard.� Five sets of swinging from the heels came down to the last three games. Serving at 3-all in the final set, Berdych fell behind love-30 and tried a rare drop shot, but Soderling dashed forward and scooped out a backhand winner. Two points later, Berdych dumped a backhand in the net to lose serve. Soderling rallied from love30 to hold for 5-3. Then, on the second point of the next game, he dashed from one sideline to
Australia scrambled to make travel plans so they could attend the match. She has been receiving text messages of encouragement from fellow Australians, including two-time Grand Slam champion Patrick Rafter and Evonne Goolagong Cawley, the last Aussie woman to win a major title, at Wimbledon in 1980. Stosur has won two Grand Slam titles in doubles and two in mixed doubles, but until last year she had never been beyond the third round in singles at a major event. She was sidelined for nine months in 2007-08 after contracting Lyme disease, a tick-born illness that can affect the joints and nervous system. Now Stosur’s playing the best tennis of her life, and she has become especially imposing on clay. She reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year, and her 20-2 record on the surface in 2010 is the best on the women’s tour. The muscular Australian can dominate with her serve, blast-
ing it at more than 120 mph or hitting a high-bouncing kick serve that’s a rarity on the women’s tour. Either way, she sets up her aggressive forehand that has heavy topspin. While Stosur relies on power, the 5-5 1/2 Schiavone uses her speed to counterpunch, mixing the pace and using lots of spin to keep opponents off balance. As with Stosur, Schiavone’s biggest improvement may be in the mental part of the game. Schiavone came to Paris with a career record of 7-40 against top-five players. This week she’s 2-0, with wins over Dementieva and No. 3-seeded Caroline Wozniacki. Schiavone is 15-3 on clay this year, including her third career title at Barcelona in April. On Monday, two weeks shy of her 30th birthday, she’ll become the oldest woman in 12 years to crack the top 10 for the first time. Playing in her 39th Grand Slam tournament, she’s finally in a final.
the other to whack his running forehand past Berdych. “Greatest shot of the match,� said fellow Swede and threetime French Open champion Mats Wilander. Match point came moments later, and when Berdych pushed a weary backhand wide, Soderling covered his face with his hands as his accomplishment sunk in. It was only the fifth five-set win in the Swede’s career. The first service break of the match came in the fourth game, when Berdych clipped the net with a second serve. He soon had lost a set for the first time in the tournament. But Soderling wobbled, miss-
ing with his forehand and losing serve twice in the third set. The second break made it 6-5, and the usually impassive Swede slammed his racket to the court. In the next game Berdych served out the set with four aces, the last at 139 mph. It was Soderling’s turn to rally. He managed the lone break in the fourth set and evened the match after nearly three hours in the sun. Berdych faded at the finish but found consolation in reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal. “It was a great two weeks for me,� the big Czech said. “Every round I won here, it’s a great moment.�

Williams sisters win 12th major doubles title By TRUNG LATIEULE Associated Press Writer PARIS — Venus and Serena Williams won their fourth consecutive major doubles title Friday at the French Open. “A Williams slam,� Serena called it. The sisters earned their 12th Grand Slam title by beating Katarina Srebotnik and Kveta Peschke 6-2, 6-3. “It’s really tough when you play one Williams,� Venus said. “When you play two, it’s really not an easy win.� The sisters will be ranked No. 1 in doubles for the first time next week in a partnership that began in the 1980s. They laughed as they reminisced about learning to play doubles. “My dad told Venus to cross more, and so I think she got upset, and she crossed when the person was serving,� Serena said. “I remember that,� Venus said. “Our older sister was serving.� “Oh my gosh, that was so funny,� Serena said. “Dad told me I had to play the forehand, because I was young and I was

To be sure there are stories of fishing to be heard, but tales of the discovery of precious angling equipment rules the day. “I had to have it, even though

smaller, and then he put Venus on the backhand. It has been like that ever since. That was 20 years ago?� “At least,� Venus said. They’re only the third women’s doubles pair to win four major titles in a row. Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver did it in 1983-84, and Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva did it in 1992-93.

Advice
Ask for daughter-in-law’s help in curtailing son’s treatment of grandson
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: My son and his wife live across the country. I see them once or twice a year. They have two children. My 13-year-old grandson can do nothing right in his father’s eyes, and the 11-year-old girl can do nothing wrong. I have witnessed what I consider severe verbal abuse toward my grandson. I would like to talk with my son about his behavior, but he is extremely sensitive to criticism. I know his reaction would be to ostracize me for an extended period of time. Then I’d never get to see my grandchildren or be able to help. I just returned from a visit, and my son’s behavior appears to be having an effect on my grandson’s health. The boy made himself sick worrying about having a cavity. He missed 10 days of school over the winter with headaches and stomachaches. I told my son and daughter-in-law that I think the reason my grandson is sick all the time is that he is stressed. I don’t think it went over well. I worry my son expects perfection from his child. His wife is aware of the situation, but as far as I can see, she doesn’t curtail it. The most she did was give my son a disapproving look, after which he stopped berating the boy. My grandson tells me, “It’s not that bad.” My granddaughter says it scares her when Daddy yells at her brother. I’ve told my grandson he can get help by talking to his school counselor or a teacher. Should I just butt out? — Grandma in the South Dear Grandma: Your best ally is your daugh-
ter-in-law, who seems to be the only one with any influence over your son. Call her. Tell her you can see that she is a good mother and you hope she will work with her husband to be a better parent. The way he treats his son will not only have a lifelong impact on the boy’s emotional wellbeing, but will adversely affect his daughter, as well. Suggest she talk to her pediatrician about it. Dear Annie: My cousin, “Daphne,” wears a lot of black. She seems perfectly happy with her life, but she is cutting herself. She showed me the marks on her arms and legs. Daphne said I absolutely cannot tell anybody. But I’m worried about her health. Should I tell her parents and get in trouble with her? She’s my favorite cousin, and I don’t want to end up on her bad side. What should I do? — Helpless Dear Helpless: Cutting is not only physically damaging, but is an indication of emotional distress. It’s good that Daphne is confiding in you, and we hope you will allow her to discuss the things that are bothering her. Urge her to talk to the school counselor or a favorite teacher. Both of you can also check out kidshealth.org, which has information on cutting. If Daphne refuses to seek help through the school and won’t stop cutting, tell your parents what is

going on. Although she may be upset with you, please care enough to help her anyway. Dear Annie: My husband and I disagree with your advice to “The Family Thorn,” whose sister-in-law gets offended at every family gathering. You told her to stop letting Tonya marginalize her from the family. We, too, had a family thorn — a cousin who, for 30 years, managed to be slighted and offended at every family function. Our relatives revolved around this self-centered, toxic behavior, even more so after she married into significant money. Her petulant behavior at my grandfather’s funeral did it for us, and we exited this drama. We now share time with people who are supportive and encouraging, and our children are nurtured. And the rest of the family is stuck with that whiner. — Happy in the Deep South Dear Happy: Most people would prefer to stop being a victim rather than give up on the family. But we’re glad this worked for you. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
