Bolze international victims upset By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

5Once a bear, always a bear Nave will play football at Lenoir-Rhyne Sports, Page A8

KNOXVILLE — As the saga around disgraced investor Dennis Bolze and the bankruptcy case against his estate both drag on, an attempt to get money for three local men to pay the attorney has some of Bolze’s international victims crying foul. When Bill Allen II, Ray Whaley and Donnie Lay filed the petition to have Bolze declared involuntarily bankrupt, Knoxville attor-

ney Wade Boswell was brought on to manage their effort, which eventually led to a host of creditors coming forward. Now the time has come to pay Boswell, and Bolze with nearly 100 folks having joined the case, Allen, Whaley and Lay are asking that the cost for the attorney come out of the communal pot, according to recently filed

court documents. That adds up to a total of $5,716.50, a sum Boswell and the three Sevier County residents have asked for out of the Bolze estate when all his accounts are settled. The move comes at what seems like the wrong time for many of those involved in the case, some of whom lost their entire savings with Bolze. They’ve largely watched the goings-on, shut out of actually having representation in court because they can no longer

afford to pay an attorney. That’s particularly true of the international investors, who have written to The Mountain Press numerous times pleading for help. They have been unable to fight things like an attempt by Regions Bank to claim all funds from the sale of Bolze’s house and an effort by bankruptcy trustee Wayne Walls to require all those who lost money with Bolze to repay any dividends he sent them.

Under the microscope High school students get sneak peek at med field By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Around 50 local high school students are getting a three-day preview of today’s medical field during East Tennessee State UniversitySevier County Partnership’s Health Sciences Career Camp at Sevier County High School. “We want to familiarize our students with all job opportunities in the medical field,” said Rebekah Atchison, Sevier County Schools transition high school coordinator. “Sometimes they don’t realize that the things they’re already interested in can feed into a medical career. The main thing is to broaden their horizons.” The camp includes a mock trauma event; small group sessions in nursing, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, radiography and public health; a Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press choice of touring LeConte Medical Center or takAfter the scenario, the participants, a doctor, ing an American Heart Association Heartsaver nurse and EMT/paramedic, talk about their jobs with students.

SEVIERVILLE — The Sevierville Chamber of Commerce has already received two big pieces of good news already this week, though it’s only Tuesday. The first came from Nashville as both houses of the General Assembly voted to save the multimillion dollar cooperative advertising budget, a fund that offers cities the chance to double their tourism marketing effots. The second came closer to home, when the Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously Monday evening to approve a budget for the coming fiscal year that includes juggling that will amount to $260,000 in extra money for the chamber’s advertising program. It was enough to leave chamber Executive Director Brenda McCroskey nearly speechless. “Thank you all,” McCroskey told city officials with a broad smile and an evident sense of relief after coming close to the axe a couple times in this tight budget year. Things were looking bleak just a few weeks ago as the state’s finance officials recommended the multimillion dollar allotment, which was set to be only a one-time fund eight years ago but has been continued each budget since, be cut as part of efforts to shore up a massive shortfall. Folks such as McCroskey campaigned hard to save the cash, pushing local residents to call as many legislators as they could to protect the purse. The victory in the state’s capitol might not have amounted to much, though, if it weren’t for the aldermen’s decision Monday and, more importantly, for the efforts of City Administrator Steve Hendrix. During a joint work session with the board and the Public Building Authority before the aldermen’s regular monthly meeting, Hendrix was coy during disSee boma, Page A4

Knox man arrested in home invasion Submitted report A Knoxville man has been arrested in connection with an alleged home invasion in Sevier County, Sheriff Ron Seals said Monday. On May 27 the sheriff’s office received a call about a home invasion at a residence in the Deerfield Trailer Park off Boyds Creek Highway. The victim told officers

that three or four persons forced their way into his home in the early m o r n ing hours, Cummins b r a n dished a handgun and used a stun gun on him. He told officers that the three men told him he was going to

take a ride with them. The victim told officers he broke free, and the assailants fled the home. The victim called 911. After an investigation, detectives were able to identify one of the suspects as Troy Christopher Cummins, 23, of 1508 Cecil Ave., Knoxville. Cummins was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and aggravated

assault and was arraigned before a magistrate. Bond was set at $100,000. Cummins is scheduled to appear in Sevier County General Sessions Court on July 2. The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected in the case, Seals said. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Johnny Bohanan at 428-1899.

Sevier County schools receiving donations include New Center, Pigeon Forge Primary, Sevierville Primary, Seymour Primary and Wearwood Elementary. “Nothing is more important in our community than giving our stu-

dents the tools they need to reach their full potential,” said Judith Huskey Balkcom, Tanger Five Oaks general manager. “Tanger is proud to help provide funds for materials and educational programs to help our schools and kids succeed.” TangerBucks for Schools gave participating schools the opportunity to raise money with no strings attached.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why some international investors say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outraged over the push to pay Boswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tab out of the money meant to help those who lost everything in Bolzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ponzi scheme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly object to any of the creditors attempting to erode further, by way of yet more discriminatory, preferential payments, the small amount which may remain, since all creditorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights to any eventual residual recompense have already been severely eroded by the actions of the bankruptcy court, its appointed trustee and his legal representatives, who do not even deign to circulate an annual interim report of progress in the recovery of the creditorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funds,â&#x20AC;? Bolze creditor Gini Borham of England wrote in a recent e-mail to fellow victims. The situation is just what Borham and others have feared: As they struggle to make ends meet, attorneys seek their share ahead of everyone else. Borham points out this is just what she forewarned the others would happen only shortly after the bankruptcy case was filed. Though she appreciates the chance to get any of her savings back, she has said she thinks lawyers who work on such cases should do the work free of charge. Beyond just the realization of a fear that the pot of money will dwindle before the first victim gets a check, Borham and other overseas investors

Then, as a paramedic, ER nurse and physician each told the audience about their jobs, their career salary ranges and average length of study for their degrees were shown on an overhead projector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in high school, my guidance counselor told me I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smart enough and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the support I would need to become a doctor,â&#x20AC;?

Bill would make jailers decide immigrant status NASHVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A bill that would require Tennessee jailers to determine whether inmates are in the country illegally and deport them if they are would offer an easy way to fight illegal immigration in the state, the sponsors of the legislation say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things that is so simple, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost elegant in its simplicity,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Dolores Gresham said. But some sheriffs consider the bill an unfunded mandate and an invitation to lawsuits. Sheriff Norman Lewis was able to have Montgomery County excluded from the bill. It is one of several counties that could be exempted from the provisions by a special amendment.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Hendrix revealed his efforts, made in conjunction with city staffers, to find some money in the budget to cover the request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realized what we need to do is be getting our names out there,â&#x20AC;? Hendrix said, stressing the importance of advertising in the recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I took the scalpel out.â&#x20AC;? What that meant is cutting things like the planned purchase of a front-loading garbage truck and telling the Parks and Recreation Department it will be adding a used truck, rather than a new one, to its fleet. Through such slashes, the effort accrued more than $361,000, about $101,000 more than the chamber officials requested. prove my guidance counselor wrong. And I did.â&#x20AC;?

Hendrix suggested the rest of the cash be put into the Board of Mayor and Aldermenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contingency fund, an account that allows them extra money to cover unexpected expenses through the year. Even the $260,000 request was already brought down to its bare bones, McCroskey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know you all are in a very, very tight budget year,â&#x20AC;? she conceded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cut everything except those matching grants with the state. We felt they were very crucial because the city gets two dollars for every one it spends.â&#x20AC;? Through the program, the city gets to share the spotlight with the state, with each splitting the cost of television and internet advertising that includes a plug both for local and statewide tourism opportunities.

Beale Street dispute settled MEMPHIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The city of Memphis and Performa Entertainment Real Estate have settled a long-running legal dispute over control of the music-and-BBQ destination of Beale Street. Mayor A C Wharton says Performa, which helped make Beale Street a popular tourist spot, will no longer be involved in managing the entertainment district.

are upset about a line tagged onto the end of Boswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition to the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do not want the court to grant the relief requests, you or your attorney must attend this hearing,â&#x20AC;? the line on one of the last pages of the request reads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do not attend the hearing, the court may decide that you do not oppose the relief sought in the motion and may enter an order granting that relief.â&#x20AC;? Borham says she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe having to attend the July 1 hearing. Her bank accounts depleted by Bolzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheme, she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay an attorney to represent her from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, much less to buy tickets to fly over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I make my objection known to this errant court, which refuses to accept any communications, even properly mailed, from the creditors or, indeed, their electronicallyapproved, e-mailed, legal representativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; submissions?â&#x20AC;? Borham said in the e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel it is highly unjust that lawyers may take what they will out of the little funds remaining, whilst we â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the suppliers of these funds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are unable to find a legal representative to act in a group action for a contingency fee.â&#x20AC;?

nation briefs Sheen plea deal delayed a month

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A hearing on a possible plea deal for Charlie Sheen in his domestic abuse case in Colorado has been delayed until next month. Lawyers met Monday at the courthouse, with prosecutors saying they needed more time to work out the agreement. Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elaborate. Yale Galanter, a lawyer for Sheenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Brooke Mueller Sheen, says Sheen had reached a deal to plead guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge. Galanter says the deal would include a 30-day jail sentence, and that Sheen would be able to leave during the day to work at a theater company. Mordkin wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confirm details but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dispute media reports about the work release arrangement.

One missing after gas blast

CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A large natural gas line in north Texas erupted Monday after utility workers accidentally hit the line, sending a column of fire into the air and leaving one worker missing hours after the blast, officials said. Johnson County Emergency Coordinator Jack Snow said searchers were scouring the charred area around the damaged line looking for the missing person. Thirteen other workers who were also at the site were accounted for, and there were no known fatalities, he said. The explosion caused confusion among officials immediately after the blast, with one city official saying three people had been killed. The official, Cleburne City Manager Chester Nolen, later said that after fire officials and the gas line operator extinguished the fire, he was unsure if anyone was killed. At least seven of the 13 workers went to the hospital following the explosion. Gary Marks, CEO of Glen Rose Medical Center, said two people were treated and released, and four others were in stable condition. One patient was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.

Hit man pleads guilty to 8 murders

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A self-described hit man who once told police â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kill people for moneyâ&#x20AC;? pleaded guilty Monday to eight murders, including the contract killing of a Detroit police officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. Vincent Smothers pleaded guilty to eight counts of second-degree murder and a gun charge in exchange for a minimum sentence of 52 years in prison. With credit for time served since his arrest, he could be freed when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 80 years old. Smothers, 29, shocked police two years ago when he confessed to the eight Detroit slayings during aroundthe-clock interrogations. He told investigators his hits were all related to the drug trade except for the final one, the killing of Rose Cobb on the day after Christmas in 2007.

Gunman kills 4 women, himself

HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A gunman shot and killed his wife outside a South Florida restaurant where she worked, then targeted women inside and killed three others before committing suicide, police said Monday. Police said 38-year-old Gerardo Regalado bypassed at least two men when he fired at the women inside. Three women were hospitalized in critical condition, Hialeah police Detective Eddie Rodriguez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went straight for the women,â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said.

Chrysler recalls 700,000 vehicles

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chrysler is recalling almost 600,000 minivans and Jeep Wranglers in the United States and another 100,000 elsewhere because of brake or wiring problems that could create safety problems, the company and federal regulators said Monday. Chrysler said it is recalling 288,968 Jeep Wranglers from the 2006 through 2010 model years due to a potential brake fluid leak. It also is recalling 284,831 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans from the 2008 and 2009 model years because a wiring problem can cause a fire inside the sliding doors. Another 76,430 Wranglers and 34,143 minivans are being recalled in Canada, Mexico and other international markets, Chrysler said. Neither problem has caused any crashes or injuries, Chrysler Group LLC said. Regalado is the half brother of former baseball star Orlando â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Duqueâ&#x20AC;? Hernandez.

Well cap captures more oil; outlook remains gloomy NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cap on the blown-out well in the Gulf is capturing a half-million gallons a day, or anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of the oil spewing from the bottom of the sea, officials said Monday. But the hopeful report was offset by a warning that the farflung slick has broken up into hundreds and even thousands of patches of oil that may inflict damage that could persist for years. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man for the crisis, said the breakup has complicated the cleanup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dealing with the oil spill on the surface is going to go on for a couple of months,â&#x20AC;? he said at a briefing in Washington. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;long-term issues of restoring the environment and the habitats and stuff will be years.â&#x20AC;? Allen said the containment cap that was installed late last week is now collecting about 460,000 gallons of oil a day out of the approximately 600,000 to 1.2 million gallons believed to be spewing from the well a mile underwater. In a tweet, BP said it collected 316,722 gallons from midnight to noon Monday. The amount of oil captured is being slowly ramped up as more vents on the cap are closed. Crews are moving carefully to avoid a dangerous pressure buildup and to prevent the formation of the icy crystals that thwarted a previous effort to contain the leak. The captured oil is being pumped to a ship on the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going fairly well,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. BP said it plans to replace the cap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps later this month or early next month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a slightly bigger one that will provide a tighter fit and thus collect more oil. It will also be designed to allow the company to suspend the cleanup and then resume it quickly if a hurricane threatens the Gulf later this season. The new cap is still being designed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us much better containment than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotâ&#x20AC;? with the existing cap, said BP senior vice president Kent Wells. BP and government officials acknowledged it is difficult to say exactly how much oil is spewing from the well, and thus how much is still flowing into the water. BP spokesman Robert Wine said the figures being discussed are estimates, some of which have been provided by the government.

Stocks at lowest in seven months NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Traders gave in to another case of last-hour anxiety Monday and drove stocks to their lowest level in seven months. The Dow Jones industrial average, down just 42 points at 3:15 p.m., was down 115, or 1.2 percent, by the close 45 minutes later. That extended the Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp drop from Friday, when it lost 323 in response to a disappointing May jobs report. Broader indexes had steeper percentage drops than the Dow on Monday. The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index fell 2 percent. Treasury prices rose as investors again went in search of safe investments. There was no obvious catalyst for Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late slide, although traders were again preoccupied with Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic

problems. Traders know that Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business day begins before trading opens in the U.S., and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather sell then wake up to an unpleasant surprise. The last-hour selling, which followed a similar move Friday, also recalled the 2008 financial crisis, when traders decided the best strategy was to dump stocks just before the close. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trading also showed how the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own dynamics can trigger late selling. Shortly after 3 p.m., the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index fell below 1,056.74, what had been its low close for the year that it reached Feb. 8. That psychological blow encouraged many traders to sell, and as prices came down, computer â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellâ&#x20AC;? programs kicked in, leading to more selling.

HENDERSONVILLE

Amber Alert called a hoax

Authorities say two Hendersonville teenagers face charges after a false Amber Alert was issued for a 13-year-old girl who was reported missing. Morgan Leigh Heath was reported missing by her guardian Friday evening after she hadn’t been seen since 7:20 that morning. Authorities say her guardian began receiving text messages from the girl’s phone saying she had been kidnapped and was under duress. The Hendersonville Police Department contacted the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the alert was issued around 6:30 p.m.

Court mulls laywer rules changes NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s Supreme Court is reviewing proposed changes to the rules that govern the state’s lawyers. The state Supreme Court recently held a fivehour meeting to discuss the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct. The rules were last amended more than six years ago. The latest round of proposed changes was offered by the Tennessee Bar Association. One proposal addresses what defense lawyers should do with criminal case files when they quit represent-

ing a defendant, rather than being fired or removed from the case. Brian Faughnan, a Memphis lawyer representing the Tennessee Bar Association, said court rules do not address what lawyers should do with case files when they quit. One issue is that information in case files could be used to hurt someone after the documents are given to a defendant. “That’s the concern that prosecutors and others have. ... Can they be forced to turn over information that could

commentary

Reproductive technology is questioned What is it like to be a child conceived using the sperm of a man whom the law says has no obligations to you at all, that you don’t even have a right to know his name? As many as 1 percent of all children born in America are created by reproductive technology, and yet few people have bothered to ask that question. Until now. Thanks to an extraordinary new report just released by the Institute for American Values, “My Daddy’s Name Is Donor,” we can now begin to look for answers. The groundbreaking study by Elizabeth Marquardt, Norval Glenn and Karen Clark looks at almost 500 young adults created by donor insemination. Forty-five percent of these young adults conceived by donor insemination agree, “The circumstances of my conception bother me.” Almost half report that they think about their donor conception a few times a week or more. Forty-five percent agree, “It bothers me that money was exchanged in order to conceive me.” Nearly half of donor offspring (compared to about a fifth of adopted adults) agree, “When I see friends with their biological fathers and mothers, it makes me feel sad.” Similarly, 53 percent (compared to 29 percent of adoptees) agree, “It hurts when I hear other people talk about their genealogical background.” Donor offspring were three times as likely as adopted young adults and seven times more likely than adults born to biological parents to agree, “I feel confused about who is a member of my family and who is not.” Nearly half of donor offspring were afraid they might unknowlingly commit incest. Yet the majority of these young adults support donor insemination, provided it is not anonymous. Indeed, a startling 20 percent of the donor-conceived had become donors themselves, perhaps in part to establish a connection with the phantom non-parent. There are worse things, clearly. But just as clearly, children conceived by reproductive technologies are struggling with the meaning of their origins, and they are struggling largely alone. On IAV’s FamilyScholars.org blog, Olivia Pratten, who is a donor offspring, writes about what it felt like to show up at infertility industry conferences: “I quickly realized I was a black sheep there. Much like my experience with the physician who engineered my conception, people in the infertility industry didn’t know what to say to me. The message was clear: I wasn’t supposed to be there. I was supposed to be somewhere else with no thoughts or feelings about all of this.” She says, “If knowing your biological roots didn’t matter, then genealogy wouldn’t exist. ... If knowing your biological roots didn’t matter, anthropologists wouldn’t have found that varying forms of ancestor worship can be found throughout all cultures throughout time. ... If biology didn’t matter, donor anonymity would have never started in the first place.” She’s right: The whole billion-dollar fertility industry is predicated on the truth that biological connection matters. We live in a society that seeks to fragment experience in order to reduce barriers to desire. First we separated sex from marriage, then marriage from reproduction, and then, finally, reproduction from sex. Biology doesn’t matter, we say, because love makes a family. Unless of course you are a woman with a sterile partner, in which case biology means both everything and nothing. Biology is so important for these parents that adoption is not good enough — only a child of one’s own body will do. But the child so created apparently has no right to have similar feelings about biological connection. Do our bodies matter, and if so, how and why? What do we owe our children, and who counts as our child? Out of the science of reproductive technology and the searching and suffering of the children so created, arise the deepest questions, the ones that naked science can’t answer. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

Leaving home Randy Davis has served his church, community with love and compassion Pastors often come and go — sometimes before you really get to know them, if you’re a member of that church. When you get a really good one, one who inspires, leads, challenges and encourages — well, you’re really got something there. Chances are, however, others also know what a real gem you have. Randy Davis has been a guiding force not only at First Baptist Church Sevierville but in the community to which he moved nine years ago when called to be pastor. He was so good, his members forgave him his Alabama roots and love of anything Crimson Tide. OK, at least they tolerated it, which was fine so long as Tennessee was doing better than the Tide. Davis is leaving for another opportunity. He has been selected executive director of the Tennessee Baptist

Convention, a prestigious, difficult assignment. The convention supports some 3,200 Baptist congregations in the state, and Davis was the unanimous choice of every committee along the process of replacing the retiring James Porch. It’s a wonderful opportunity, but also a sad time for First Baptist. There was a lot of crying, both from the pulpit and throughout the sanctuary, when Davis made it official on Sunday morning. His last sermon at FBC will be June 20. Most already knew — the convention posted the story last Wednesday. Davis wanted to tell his beloved members himself. This is a challenging time not just for Davis and his family, but for the church itself. The departing pastor has led tremendous growth. It is the largest church in Sevier County, with some

4,200 members. The sanctuary holds close to 2,000 and often is filled. The services are broadcast over a Knoxville TV station. And last year the church purchased property on Park Road to build a recreation complex. Davis will leave a void, but whenever a beloved and successful pastor leaves a congregation, it’s a transition that can be difficult and trying. First Baptist will survive and remains strong because its members will make sure of that. Randy Davis knows he was the preacher, but the congregation made him a better pastor and the church a better place. Nine years in one place is a pretty good tenure for a pastor of Davis’ quality and compassion. It couldn’t have been easy to leave. But he will continue to do God’s work, and so will First Baptist.

Political view

Public forum United States should follow Mexican laws on immigration

Editor: From 1861 with the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln until 1933 with Franklin Roosevelt’s inauguration, a period of 72 years, there were two Democrats elected president in the United States. Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland each served two terms. Now President Obama seems to be trying to accomplish a similar coup for the Democrats. He has an agenda to make the United States a thirdrate country like some of the “wimpy” countries in Europe. Since his approval numbers have fallen, his next task will be getting new voters; people

who want the government to take care of them, to vote for him, and other Democrats this November and in 2012. This is where he expects the new voters to come in. If President Obama has his way, the illegal aliens already here and continuing to sneak in will be given amnesty and put on the fast track for U.S. citizenship. He hopes to accomplish this by November, if possible. He will expect the new citizens to be so grateful for their citizenship that they will vote Democrat in perpetuity, and keep his party in power for many years to come. The continual carping about the Arizona Illegal Immigration Law is a part of the strategy. Democrats and their allies in the news-

papers and other media continue to criticize the law, although most haven’t even read the 15-20 pages of the law. I was told it is pretty much the same as the federal law on illegal immigration, which the Federal Government refuses to enforce. I have heard the Mexican laws on illegal immigration, and they are far tougher than ours. I would be perfectly happy for the United States to follow the Mexican laws on illegal immigrants. I have about lost hope for this country under President Obama and wish this administration would keep the changes. George L. Fowler Sevierville

PREP FOOTBALL

Bears’ 2-sport star Nave opts for football in college Wide receiver will stay a Bear at Lenoir-Rhyne By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

“Football is where my heart is, and I love it.” Austin Nave, SCHS basketball and football player, on his decision to play college football instead of basketball

SEVIERVILLE — To say Austin Nave’s senior athletic campaign was a success would be an understatement. The Bears’ District Tournament MVP led the team to their first district title in years, and on the football field he was part of the first team to have an undefeated season in a generation. But still, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound honor student feels he’s got some unfinished business on the gridiron. Marred by injuries throughout his 12th grade season, Nave was limited to just three catches on the offensive side of the football. He did, however, notch a pair of interceptions, three pass break-ups, two tackles for loss and 23 tackles on defense. “It was kind of hard on him this year because of the injuries that he sustained,” SCHS head football coach Steve Brewer said. “He had a couple of concussions that set him back, and no sooner had he recovered from that he tweaked his knee.” Between the knee injury and the concussion Nave missed over half of the season. “I feel like I can prove I’m better,” Nave said Monday afternoon. “I haven’t got to play much lately, and I want to show people what I can do.” Nave will get that opportunity this fall at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C., an NCAA Division II school that competes in the South Atlantic Conference with

At Lenoir-Rhyne, Nave will continue to don the Bears name, and his high school coach has faith that he’ll wear the jersey well. “I believe that Austin can do pretty much what he puts his mind to doing,” Brewer said. “LenoirRhyne is going to be some good competition for him. It may not happen for him quickly, but if he stays in there, I believe it will happen. He will produce and will be a contributor in that football program. They’re getting a very fine young man, and an outstanding student. Lenoir-Rhyne will benefit by his being there.” Choosing football over basket-

LOCAL FISHING

ball wasn’t too tough a decision for Nave, even though most spectators — viewing Nave’s accolades on the basketball court — would see hoops as his ticket. “I actually looked at LenoirRhyne for basketball as well and some other smaller schools, but there weren’t too many offers (for basketball scholarships),” Nave said. “Football is where my heart is, and I love it. I talked with my parents and everything, and I realized that football was really where it was (for me).” Nave said he believes he’ll begin his college career as a safety but may change positions once his college lifting program begins to take effect.

“(Safety’s) where I’m going to start out at, and I’ve heard people talking about once I get bigger maybe moving me to linebacker or tight end, something like that,” Nave said. Because of his late decision to play football, scholarship funds were unavailable for the coming year. Instead he’ll have to rely on his brains for financial assistance. “I got an academic scholarship,” Nave, who finished in the top 10 in his class with a 3.86 GPA, said. He plans on majoring in biology or chemistry and pursuing a career in the medical field. Austin is the son of Chuck and Sonya Nave of Sevierville.

Drug wars, oil leak moves fishing north Win streak ends for Smokies with 8-6 loss By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

GATLINBURG — Dan Basore — a vacationer from Warrenville, Ill., who spent the past week in Gatlinburg — has fished the globe in his 18 years of retired life, but Mexican drug wars and the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico have eliminated some of his favorite fishing spots in the world. “I was fishing in places like Mexico and Venice, (La.), but I can’t go to those places to anymore,” said Basore, who discovered his life’s passion for fishing as a 15-year-old, 52 years ago. “Mexico is just too dangerous, it’s being overrun by the gangs and their drug wars. “And I can’t fish in Venice anymore because of the oil (leak). It’s just a sad, sad thing.” Although his favorite fishing holes are off limits these days, Basore — who has fished the waters of the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil — takes some comfort in knowing that there are still other options to practice his favorite sport. “I guess I’m going to spend a lot more time fishing the Great Lakes,” he said. “There’s unbelievable small mouth there.” Basore often visits the Smoky Mountains area to “watch the leaves change color,” and to visit longtime friends in Maryville and Knoxville. He is a retired financial planner with some words of advice for those considering the golden handshake. “Don’t retire from something, retire to something,” said Basore. “I’ve loved every moment of my retirement. It’s been the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. “I love everything about fishing, the old and the new. I can’t believe all the evolution of the sport.” Basore not only enjoys fishing, but he also has a heart for collecting all things related to the sport. “I’ve got things in my (fishing) displays that are over

Dan Basore, who spent the past week vacationing in Gatlinburg, said he can no longer fish his favorite spots in the world due to Mexican drug wars and a huge oil leak. 8,000 years old,” he said. “They were fishing for survival back then with copper and stone and bone.” Although he has a love and respect for the antique fishing gear, when he fishes for pleasure, he uses the new stuff. “I use the analogy that you can build a house with tools from the 1850s if you want to, but the newer tools are just a joy to use,” he said. “I’ll read the hype about an old lure, and so I try it out. But you catch fish about 20-to-1 with the newer stuff, generally.” He’s seen the evidence of attraction with his own eyes, studying the habits and reactions of fish in his private pond that he refers to as his “lab.” “I’ve got three underwater cameras, and I watch the fish all the time,” he said. “I’m way over the edge ... because it’s my passion.” Basore, who works with children to teach them the art of angling, said fishing is a

pursuit of perfection that can never be obtained. “I never get skunked, I just run out of time to figure (the fish) out,” laughed Basore. “You can only use so many lures and try so many techniques in a day, and no two days are ever the same. “There are different seasons, the fish are in different moods from prespawn to spawn to postspawn, summer patterns, moon phases, wind direction, changes in the barometer, everything has something to do with it, and there’s no computer that can figure it out. “Plus there’s the added mystery, because it’s under the water. And the water has color changes, currents change, temperatures change ... everything is always changing, so we’ll never really figure it out, and that’s what’s so fascinating about it.” chitchcock@themountainpress.com

SEVIERVILLE — An early deficit proved too much for the Tennessee Smokies to overcome Sunday evening, as they fell 8-6 to the Huntsville Stars at Smokies Park. The loss snapped the Smokies five-game win streak and shrunk the team’s lead for first place in the Southern League North Division to 1.5 games over the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. Tennessee starter Austin Bibens-Dirkx’s streak of 14 consecutive scoreless innings also came to an abrupt end Sunday. Huntsville’s Lorenzo Cain singled and then stole second to put himself in scoring position, and teammate Caleb Green doubled to bring him home to give the Stars the early 1-0 lead. The Smokies answered immediately with two of their own in the bottom of the frame off Huntsville starter Michael Bowman to grab a 2-1 lead. Ty Wright singled with two outs to get the rally started, then moved to second on a Blake Lalli single. Matt Spencer followed with a triple down the right field line to bring the duo home and give the Smokies their only lead of the game. Huntsville answered with six runs over the next two innings to blow the game wide open. Tennessee nemesis Brett Lawrie, batting .400 against the Smokies this year, brought in two with a double to left in the second. Cain tripled in another run to put the Stars up 4-2.

In the third, Dayton Buller drilled a Bibens-Dirkx (4-2) offering into the left field berm with two on to extend Huntsville’s lead to 7-2. Bibens-Dirkx left the game after the third, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits. He walked three and struck out only one. Tony Thomas got the Smokies back into the game in the fourth. With Steve Clevenger and Josh Vitters on base, Thomas doubled to left-center to bring both teammates home and cut the deficit to 7-4. Two more runs by the Smokies in the seventh cut Huntsville’s lead to 7-6. Brandon Guyer’s third triple of the year scored Russ Canzler for one run. He then scored on a Marwin Gonzalez sacrifice fly to bring the Smokies to within one. That was as close as it would get as Huntsville’s bullpen held serve. Regularly clocking 90-plus on the radar gun, Brandon Kintzler (S, 10) preserved the win for Bowman (5-4). Tennessee next hosts Huntsville 7:15 p.m. tonight for Game 4 in the in best-of-five series.

Police: Packers’ accusers change statements LAKE DELTON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin police chief says two women who accused a Green Bay Packers player of sexually assaulting them changed their statements during the investigation. Lake Delton Police Chief Tom Dorner says the women first said they were sexually assaulted by more than one person while others held them down. He says they later said only one person was involved and that they were not held down by others.

Dorner says there were no weapons involved in the alleged incident. Police were called to a Lake Delton condo early Saturday where seven Packers players were staying. The women said they had been sexually assaulted. Police cleared six of the seven players, but one remains under investigation. Dorner declined to name that player or his accusers.

Advice

Cousins deserve to know parentage, but whose place is it to tell them?

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I have two wonderful cousins, a brother and sister related to me through their father. Both are now in their 50s and have seven children between them. About 12 years ago, my stepmother spilled the beans and told me that our cousins are not biologically related to us because their parents had to resort to artificial insemination (using donor sperm) in order to become pregnant. I confirmed this story with my mother. She said my aunt and uncle had promised to tell the kids the truth someday. Annie, I don’t believe my cousins were ever told, because I occasionally hear comments from them about how neither they nor their children look like anyone on their father’s side of the family. My aunt and uncle have since died. I love my cousins regardless of parentage, but don’t they deserve to have their genetic information? One of the cousins has Crohn’s disease. Other things could come up. -- Loving Cousin in Philly Dear Philly: If your stepmother knows this story, chances are your cousins have heard it, too. And you are right -- they should have their medical history for themselves and their children. It would be best if one of their parents’ contemporaries talked to them -- perhaps your mother would be willing. Otherwise, you can gently broach the subject by asking whether they have their complete genetic background. Dear Annie: My elderly mother needs fulltime care. She has paid caregivers who come to her home every day, and I stay with her about 30

hours a week, as well as tend to her finances, take her to the doctor, etc. My retired sister, “Lois,” helps out six hours to nine hours a week, but will not stay with Mom on weekends, so I do it. I have struggled with resentment toward my sister, but felt I was making progress until yesterday. One of my friends informed me that Lois had invited her and her husband to see a play with them. Not only can I not imagine why Lois would be asking my friends to a social engagement, but they all knew I would be unable to go because I was watching Mom (not that I would have been asked). Am I wrong to be upset with both Lois and my friends? -- Stressed and Depressed Dear Stressed: It was insensitive of your friends to let you know they were enjoying an event that excluded you, but it’s their business where they go and with whom. Your real issue is with Lois, who enjoys herself while you are taking care of Mom, and does so in a way that underscores your inability to socialize. There is always one sibling who takes on more caregiving duties than the others. If you resent not having time to yourself, see whether one of Mom’s caregivers can relieve you on an occasional weekend, and ask Lois to help pay for it. Also contact the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) at 1-800445-8106.

Dear Annie: This is for “Now or Later,” whose husband thinks he should attend the funerals rather than visit relatives while they are still living. I have three younger sisters, none of whom has visited me in more than 30 years, and it’s not the money. They all travel extensively. When I asked why they never visit, two said, “I don’t have time,” and the other said, “Your husband once hurt my feelings.” Consequently, with tear-filled eyes, I have requested that my family not notify them of my death until after the funeral. I can’t tell you how it hurts to know they could suddenly find the time to attend a memorial service when they will not make it a priority to visit me while I am still living. -Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: Too many people put off seeing loved ones until it’s too late. Or worse, they think their presence at a funeral will give others the impression that they cared. Hopefully, some readers will see themselves and make plans for a visit.

Seven American soldiers killed in separate Afghanistan attacks

McCain in fierce battle to hold onto Arizona seat By LIZ SIDOTI AP Political Writer

McCain backers and voters hungry for new leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there too long. And he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done anything for Arizona,â&#x20AC;? Ally Miller says of McCain, 73. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for someone new.â&#x20AC;? Among Hayworth supporters, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling that McCain hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a loyal Republican, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ignored Arizona and his time has passed. Many have voted for him for years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because, they say, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another option. With the 51-yearold Hayworth, people fed up with the status quo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and unwilling to automatically give McCain a new six-year term â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have somewhere to turn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hayworth is a true conservative patriot,â&#x20AC;? said a supporter, John Kessler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;McCain has become a big government, tax-and-spend liberal.â&#x20AC;?

Dean of White House press corps retires following Israeli comments WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Longtime Washington journalist Helen Thomas abruptly retired Monday as a columnist for Hearst News Service following remarks she made about Israel that were denounced by the White House and her press corps colleagues. The 89-year-old Thomas, dean of the White House press corps, has been a fixture in Washington and has been lauded as a pioneering female journalist who has covered presidents since 1960. Known for her confrontational questioning, Thomas apologized for comments that were captured on video and have spread widely on the Internet. On the May 27 video, Thomas says Israelis

should â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the hell out of Palestineâ&#x20AC;? and suggests they go to Germany, Poland or the U.S. Hearst Thomas announced her retirement, effective immediately, shortly after White House press secretary Robert Gibbs called her remarks â&#x20AC;&#x153;offensive and reprehensibleâ&#x20AC;? during his daily briefing with reporters. Thomas, who has had a front-row seat in the briefing room for many years, was not present. The White House Correspondents Association also issued a rare statement, calling her comments â&#x20AC;&#x153;indefensible.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many in our profession who have known Helen for years were saddened by the comments, which were especially unfortunate in light of her role as a trail blazer on the White House beat,â&#x20AC;? said the statement, signed by journalists who are officers of the association. Thomas had been scheduled to speak at the June 14 graduation of Walt Whitman High School in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, Md., but Principal Alan Goodwin wrote in a Sunday e-mail to students and parents that she was being replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graduation celebrations are not the venue for divisiveness,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin

trainer and a Nepalese security guard were killed when a team of three suicide bombers attacked the main gates of the police training center in the southern city of Kandahar, U.S. officials said. Afghan officials said one bomber blew a hole in the outer wall, enabling the two others to rush inside, where they were killed in a gunbattle. Afghan officials said three police were wounded. It was the deadliest day for NATO since Oct. 26, when 11 American troops were killed, including seven who died in a helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan.

Ohio death toll revised from 7 to 5 MILLBURY, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Ohio police chief has revised the death toll downward from seven victims to five in a powerful weekend tornado that left dozens homeless in the Midwest. Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer said Monday that officials likely double-counted people who died at the hospital with victims previously identified as dying at the scene. Hummer says authorities were dealing with multiple counties, agencies and hospitals when trying to figure out how

many had died. The line of storms ripped off a movie-theater roof in Illinois and siding at a Michigan nuclear plant, forcing a shutdown. But the worst destrucQUALITY EYEWEAR AT AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES!

LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A serious re-election fight wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what Republican John McCain expected when he returned to the Senate after losing the presidency. But the four-term senator is battling for his political life in a race that embodies the volatility of an unpredictable election year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a fellow Republican pushing him farther to the right as GOP voters demand conservative purity in their candidates and punish those with ties to the Washington establishment. Two longtime Senate incumbents have fallen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and Arlen Specter, D-Pa. A third â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could see her hopes dashed

this Tuesday in a runoff amid voter inclination to reward political neophytes who adhere to party principles over experience. McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity fell in Arizona as he spent years campaigning outside of it, twice for the White House. Hayworth, a radio talk show host who had been in Congress for a dozen years but lost to a Democrat in 2006, saw a chance for a political comeback. The behemoth in the race, McCain has a decades-old political organization, millions in the bank and six campaign offices. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counting on his deep ties to Arizona and legions of longtime backers to carry him through. In contrast, Hayworth has never run statewide, is struggling to raise money and has just two offices. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being fueled by disaffected

in a single blast in eastern Afghanistan, U.S. spokesman Col. Wayne Shanks said without giving further details. It was a grim reminder that the insurgents can strike throughout the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not simply in the south, which has become the main focus of the U.S. campaign. Two other U.S. service members were killed in separate attacks in the south â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in a bombing and the other by small arms fire. NATO said three other service members were killed in attacks in the east and south but gave no further details. The American police

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., right, talks to supporters as he was joined by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at a town hall meeting in June in Mesa, Ariz.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ten NATO service members, seven of them American, were killed in separate attacks Monday on the deadliest day of the year for foreign forces in Afghanistan. A U.S. civilian contractor who trains Afghan police also died in a suicide attack. The bloodshed comes as insurgents step up bombings and other attacks ahead of a major NATO operation in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar that Washington hopes will turn the tide of the war. Half the NATO deaths â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; occurred
