Summer program for kids kicks off with event at King Family Library By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Sevier County Public Library System’s Summer Reading Program Kickoff Event on Wednesday at the King Family Library was a celebration that had been in the works for a while. “We’ve been planning this since the end of last year, since the closing of the (Court Avenue) library,” library assistant Vickie Kelly said. “The kids can come and sign up for the reading programs that start next week.” Fun booths and demonstrations from Cirque de Chine, NASCAR Speedpark and Bass Pro Shops were included, as well as face painting by

SEVIERVILLE — Local developers may be able to take a lesson from the baseball diamond after the Sevier County Planning Commission voted unanimously to give them three chances to make contact before they’re out. Facing a fourth request for an extension of concept approval for a project off U.S. 321, County Planner Jeff Ownby suggested the panel consider setting a limit on the number of times such a continuation can be given. The commission members agreed, establishing two extensions as the ceiling. Builders will have three years to actually make something happen. A concept extension allows a developer to keep his existing plan alive, though he’s not actually done any ground work yet. That avoids the lengthy and potentially costly process of getting the proposal approved again. It’s meant to help out in situations exactly like the one many developers are facing now, when they’re unable to move forward in a timely manner. Each approval or extension lasts for one year, though Ownby said some have abused the opportunity to keep their proposals alive. “There are others like this,” he said as the group considered a request to extend approval for Creekwood, which he described as a 40- or 50-lot development off Branham Hollow Road. “They haven’t had any design plans approved. There hasn’t been any site work done.”

“I think there’s an idea out there that if you keep getting your concept extended, you can get your development as you originally intended it.”

— County Planner Jeff Ownby

Ownby said he doesn’t believe the Creekwood developers intended to float the project for years without doing anything on the site. Still, he conceded there are some in local construction who hurried through the approval process before the county had many rules on land use, and now see concept extensions as a way to dodge regulations that might not allow them to get as many lots out of their property. “I think there’s an idea out there that if you keep getting your concept extended, you can get your development as you originally intended it,” Ownby said. In the end, the planners agreed that carrying Creekwood for four years after zoning was implemented seems unfair to those who got their concepts approved just after it came in and had to follow the new rules. On Ownby’s suggestion, they voted to set two as the cap for extensions that can be given before voting to remove approval for Creekwood. It remains to be seen if the proposal will get a new life or if it will have to be changed. Though the two actions coincided Tuesday, it’s not the first time the group has forced a concept to get a new approval, a fact one commission member See planners, Page A4

Farmer’s Market off to ‘pretty good’ start By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — If Saturday’s turnout for the first day was any indication, the Sevierville’s Farmer’s Market is going to have a good season. “Pretty good” is how farmer Leon Davis simply sized up the market that is held at the Sevierville Farmer’s Co-Op from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. each Wednesday and Saturday through October. “The Co-Op gets everything I make from one month to the next,” Davis said with a grin. “And this is their way of helping us out,” added his wife, Margaretta.

n a tio n / w orld brie f s Key Blagojevich aide takes stand

CHICAGO (AP) — A key aide who was by the side of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich through most of his political career took the stand in his corruption trial Wednesday to testify against his old law school roommate. Alonzo Monk is considered a key witness. Prosecutors say he was part of a tight group around Blagojevich who pressed companies for campaign cash on Blagojevich’s behalf. Monk pleaded guilty to conspiring to shake down a racetrack owner for a large campaign contribution and is testifying as part of the plea deal. If convicted, Blagojevich could receive up to 415 years in prison and fines totaling $6 million. Defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. had said in his opening statement that Monk duped Blagojevich, who had no part of any alleged misdeeds. Blagojevich has pleaded not guilty to scheming to profit illegally from his power to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama and squeeze people for campaign contributions.

Money paid in van der Sloot sting

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. authorities paid Joran van der Sloot at least $15,000 in a sting operation and delayed arresting him because they were trying to help build a murder case against him in the 5-year-old disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba, two federal law enforcement officials said Wednesday. During that delay, van der Sloot arrived in Lima, Peru, on May 14, and authorities say he has confessed to last week’s killing of a 21-year-old woman in his hotel room there. The law enforcement officials say the investigation into Holloway’s disappearance was revived about six weeks ago when van der Sloot reached out to someone close to Holloway’s mother in Alabama and requested $250,000 in exchange for disclosing the location of Holloway’s body on the island of Aruba.

Four Americans killed in Afghan

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents shot down a NATO helicopter and killed four American troops in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, the military said, in the latest bloodshed ahead of a major operation in the militants’ heartland. The violence came as Afghanistan’s ousted intelligence chief warned in an interview with The Associated Press that Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s strategy of seeking reconciliation with the Taliban was dangerously flawed. The deaths, and that of a British soldier killed by an improvised bomb in a separate attack Wednesday, take NATO’s toll to 29 deaths in nine days, according to an AP count. The United States, whose some 94,000 troops vastly outnumber the rest of the allies’ contributions in Afghanistan, has lost 17 service members since Sunday.

Teacher discovers 1792 document

PEABODY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers. Michelle Eugenio, a fourth-grade teacher in Peabody, found the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates. Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper’s authenticity. He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery. No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody’s Center School or how long it has been there. Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63. He’s buried in Williamstown, Vt.

Woman seeks husband via 911; jailed

ALLIANCE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman spent three days in jail for calling the 911 emergency line five times seeking a husband. The dispatcher was flabbergasted by the requests and asked Audrey Scott, of Alliance, “You need to get a husband?� The 57-year-old Scott responded, “Yes.� Told that she could face arrest for misusing 911, Scott responded, “Let’s do it.� Scott was convicted last week of improper use of the 911 system and was sentenced to the three days in jail, which she had already served since her arrest. Seven other days were suspended if she stays out of trouble for a year. After her release, Scott blamed the case on alcohol. There is no phone listing for Scott, who could not be reached for additional comment Wednesday.

Women rule nationally in primaries By LIZ SIDOTI AP Political Writer WASHINGTON — Coast to coast, women ruled. In an election year filled with female candidates, Tuesday turned out to be a big night as two businesswomen captured the Republican nominations for Senate and governor in California, a female state lawmaker prevailed in the GOP Senate primary in Nevada and a South Carolina legislator brushed aside allegations of infidelity to grab the commanding spot in the GOP gubernatorial runoff. Not to be undone, Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln, a two-term lawmaker, scored a narrow victory over a liberal Democrat in a Democratic primary runoff. She quickly pivoted to taking on Republican Rep. John Boozman. With fresh November match-ups set, Democrats wasted little time propping up three of their most vulnerable Senate incumbents while criticizing their newly minted GOP opponents as too extreme for the country. Republicans returned the criticism as general election campaigns got under way across the country. The unpopular Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now is squaring off against a tea party-backed

Associated Press

Rep. Nikki Haley, R-Lexington, took the majority of the GOP vote in the gubernatorial primary and gives a victory speech to supporters at the Capital City Club in Columbia, S.C., on Tuesday. Republican, Sharron Angle, and the vulnerable California Sen. Barbara Boxer faces Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive. Meg Whitman won the party’s nomination for California governor, and South Carolina state Rep. Nikki Haley outpaced three male rivals in a race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination but, without a majority of votes, heads into a June 22 runoff. It was the first time the California Republican Party has put a woman — much

less two — at the top of its ticket. “Career politicians in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., be warned: You now face your worst nightmare — two businesswomen from the real world who know how to create jobs, balance budgets and get things done,� said Whitman, the billionaire former eBay chief executive, In a populist model Democrats are using nationwide, Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, cast

Lincoln as an independent voice seeking to hold Wall Street accountable and accused Boozman of “putting political interests first in order to defend the big corporate interests.� Democrats also said Reid and Boxer were working on job creation and helping middle class families, while Angle was focused on “appealing to the fringe wing� of the GOP and Fiorina was “a right-wing extremist� whose “loyalties lie with Wall Street, the oil companies and the insurance companies.�

U.N. approves new sanctions against Iran By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday approved new sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear program that target Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard, ballistic missiles and nuclear-related investments. The resolution imposing a fourth round of sanctions against Iran was approved by a vote of 12-2 with Lebanon abstaining and Brazil and Turkey voting “no.� U.S. President Barack Obama said the resolution puts in place “the toughest sanctions ever faced by the Iranian government, and it send an unmistakable message about the international community’s commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear

weapons.� But he stressed that the door to diplomacy and negotiations remains open, and told White House reporters that he would “like nothing more than to reach the day� when Iran answers all questions raised by the International Atomic Energy Agency so sanctions can be lifted. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the resolution, telling a meeting in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, “we don’t recognize sanctions,� and that “for us they are annoying flies, like a used tissue.� At U.N. headquarters, Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee defended the country’s right to produce nuclear energy, reiterated that Iran opposes nuclear weapons on religious

Matthews, at their booth outside of the store. The couple lives in Blount County, about five miles from Seymour, while Matthews lives in Sevierville. “It’s quicker for us to come this way,� Leon said of the areas available to sell his produce. Also selling their fresh vegetables were Betty Galyon and Candace Delozier, who live off of Gists Creek Road. “We had been selling for years at First Baptist Church in Seymour and at New Harvest Park,� Delozier said. “My dad is good friends with the people at the Co-Op — we buy our feed from here.� Her family and the Davises were the first to show up at the market last year as well, and will be the last ones to leave in October, she predicts. “In three or four weeks, there will be more vendors,� she said. “Some people just sell corn, which takes longer to come in.� “We’re still waiting on corn, cucumbers and cantaloupe,� Margaretta agreed.

Selling his produce is something he enjoys as well. “I like meeting the public, meeting a lot of different people.� “I like giving our local people fresh produce,� Delozier added. “My family has been farming for a long time, but this is my first year really paying attention to everything. I’m learning a lot more about the selling.� Sherry Williams of Sevierville arrived at the market ready to stock up on good eats for her kitchen. “I’ve been eating lots of vegetables, and it’s nice when they’re fresh,� she said. “Since I was diagnosed as diabetic, I’ve been eating healthier and have lost 20 pounds.� Margaretta said that the closing time of 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays is “really just a ballpark.� “As long as people are coming, we’ll be here,� Margaretta said. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Cancer gains may be bigger than they seem By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer CHICAGO — Doctors reported gains against nearly every form of cancer at a conference that ended this week. Yet when Will Thomas heard about an advance against prostate cancer, he wanted to know just one thing: “Is it a cure?� “I see billions and billions done on research, and it’s all for treatment,� said the Alabama man who has several friends with the disease. “When will they cure it?� Many people share his frustration. The top achievements reported at the American Society of Clinical Oncology added an average of just two to six months of life. One pricey drug made headlines merely for delaying the time until ovarian cancer got worse. Progress has always been slow for cancer treatment. New therapies are tested on people who are so sick and out of options that any extension of life is considered a success. A cure is not usually possible. But some of the victories reported this week against breast and prostate cancer, leukemia and the deadly skin cancer called melanoma may be larger than they appear. These trends offer reason for optimism: n Newer drugs seem to be making a bigger difference for small, specific groups of patients, as companies develop treatments that more precisely target genes behind subtypes of cancer. Pfizer Inc. rushed into late-stage testing one such drug: crizotinib, which is aimed at only 4 percent of lung cancer patients. More than 90 percent of them responded to the drug in initial tests. High response rates also have been reported for other novel drugs for melanoma and breast cancer driven by certain genes. The hope: Develop enough of these specialized treatments that eventually every cancer patient will have something that works. n Quicker answers from smaller, focused studies. Pfizer’s test of crizotinib will need only 318 patients and will be finished early next year. It also will test the drug earlier in the course of

illness rather than as a lastditch option. “You don’t really need big trials if it works so well,� and the group of patients who stand to benefit can be identified in advance, said Dr. Roy Herbst, lung cancer chief at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. n Big gains from novel combinations. All 66 patients testing a drug combo for the blood disease multiple myeloma saw a reduction in the amount of cancer they had by at least half. A 100 percent response rate is unheard of for any cancer and would not have occurred if two drugmakers had not teamed up to test their treatments together instead of against each other, said Dr. Paul Richardson of Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, who led the research. The combo of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.’s Velcade, Celgene Corp.’s Revlimid and the chemotherapy mainstay dexamethasone allowed more than half of patients to delay and perhaps avoid a bone marrow transplant — a harsh and risky treatment for the disease. n Comparison tests of long-used treatments. For decades, men with cancer that has spread beyond the prostate have been given hormone treatments with or without radiation, yet only a few studies have tested these against each other or together. A Canadian study found that combo treatment extended survival an average of six months in high-risk cases, and the oncology society said it could become a new standard of care. “We’re asking questions that should have been answered decades ago,� said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Society’s deputy chief medical officer.

CMA Festival may boost Nashville flood recovery NASHVILLE (AP) — Allen Richards doesn’t need a spreadsheet or cash register to tell him how business is going after the flood put a damper on downtown tourism. All the 59-year-old busker has to do is look down into his guitar case, which earlier this week had just two dollar bills and a smattering of change. “Last year when I would come down here in the daytime, I was seeing $20 an hour,� Richards said. “This year I’m lucky if it’s $10.� Help is on the way for Richards and the thousands of people and businesses who rely on Music City tourism for a living. Nashville’s biggest single tourism draw, the CMA Music Festival, kicks off Thursday and the cash registers were ringing already early this week as the population on Broadway began to spike over the weekend in anticipation. The four-day festival drew more than 50,000 fans a day last year and fed $22 million into the economy. This year appears to be on the verge of better numbers despite the obstacles presented by the flood. Ticket sales and hotel bookings appear to be up about 10 percent. That’s good news to worried business owners who

have seen revenues fall off as much 50 percent in the five weeks since floods took out part of downtown Nashville, wiped out the Opryland Resort and the Grand Ole Opry House, and displaced thousands of residents. CMA Fest has always been important. There was never any question the show would go on despite some of the festival’s stage locations taking water. Now, a strong showing is paramount for those who want to stay in the black in the face of steep losses. “I would say this is like our Christmas,� said Dave Simon, general manager of the Ernest Tubb Record Shop. “Christmas is actually kind of slow for us.� A visitor to the record shop a week ago could peruse the stacks all alone. Simon said sales at the two Nashville shops have been down 60 percent, but that will rebound rapidly this week. There were 20 customers in the store Monday afternoon and traffic flow was constant. Simon expects four times more once the festival begins filling the sidewalks in front of the store.

Ross appeals judge’s decision to drop suit By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer

Jimmie Ross has appealed a federal judge’s decision to dismiss his civil suit against the parties involved in a foreclosure proceeding on his former home. Ross sued First Tennessee Bank, along with Judge Jeff Rader, who oversaw the proceedings, and law enforcement officers in the Sevier County Sheriff’s Department and Sevierville Police Department. His suit, which he filed without representation from an attorney, centered around the proceedings that led to the death of his wife, Pamela Ross, in October 2008, but it did not mention her death directly. It claimed the officials formed a conspiracy to illegally take his home and deprive him of his civil rights. He was not suing the individuals in their official capacities, but as private citizens he said formed a pact to take his home. Judge Thomas Varlan dismissed the case last month, saying Ross didn’t make clear enough allegations of fact, and at times he simply stated the subjects broke the law without stating how they had done so. “Plaintiff has only alleged a formulaic recitation of the elements of various statutory violations and has not identified sufficient factual allegations or the nature of any due process violation or civil rights violation,� the judge wrote. Ross has since filed a notice of appeal, saying he will take the case to the United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit. He has not yet addressed his grounds for appeal. Ross has alleged that law enforcement officers were responsible for the death of his wife. Pamela Ross died of a gunshot wound that occurred while law enforcement officers were standing by outside their home waiting to serve an eviction notice and Ross was in a court fighting the foreclosure proceedings. Rader gave Ross an extension on the time he had to appeal the eviction that day. Officers say Pamela Ross walked outside to speak to them, then went inside and used a gun to take her own life. Jimmie Ross has said the officers were responsible for her death, but he did not mention her death in the complaint. Two of the couple’s daughters have convinced the Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into the case. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Senators seek wilderness designation NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s two U.S. senators have proposed designating about 20,000 acres as wilderness in the Cherokee National Forest. The Tennessee Wilderness Act of 2010 by Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker would preserve six areas in Polk, Washington, Unicoi, Carter, Johnson and Monroe counties in the state. The largest tract is 9,038 acres in Monroe County. Congress began protecting wilderness areas in the national forest in 1975, with additional wilderness areas being established by the Tennessee Wilderness Acts of 1984 and 1986. The Tennessee Wilderness

Act of 2010 specifically creates one new wilderness area and expands the boundaries of five separate, existing wilderness areas already within the national forest. The areas are owned entirely by the U.S. Forest Service.

Paranormal group to inspect inn

OAK RIDGE (AP) — The Alexander Inn in Oak Ridge will be inspected by two paranormal investigation groups this summer. The inn, also known as the Guest House, was used by

notable figures during the Manhattan Project when Oak Ridge was known as “the secret city” while the atomic bomb was developed. The two groups are the Tennessee Division Office of Paranormal Studies, based out of Crossville and Chattanooga, and Secret City Paranormal, headed by Oak Ridge area residents Scott McGill and Greg Murr. According to The Oak Ridger newspaper, speculation has endured that the inn is haunted. The Office of Paranormal Studies will do its investigation at the end of this month, the Secret City group in late July.

LOS ANGELES — Courteney Cox says that while a ‘Friends’ movie may never materialize, the cast has certainly thought about it — Jennifer Aniston in particular, Cox who has a “great idea ... that would reunite the members of the longrunning NBC sitcom,” The Los Angeles Times reports. “A lot of things would have to break just right for it to work. But we’ve daydreamed about it,” Cox says, noting that series creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane would have to be involved. Her final verdict? “I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

commentary

Free market remains best way for nation America’s current struggles notwithstanding, life here is pretty good. We have a standard of living that’s the envy of most of the world. Why did that happen? Prosperity isn’t the norm. Throughout history and throughout the world, poverty has been the norm. Most of the world still lives in dire poverty. Of the 6 billion people on earth, perhaps 1 billion have something close to our standard of living. Why did America prosper when most of the people of the world are still poor? Milton Friedman taught me the answer. More than any other American, Friedman, who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1976, clearly warned the world about the unintended consequences of big government. “We’ve become increasingly dependent on government,” said Friedman. “We’ve surrendered power to government; nobody has taken it from us. It’s our doing. The results — monumental government spending, much of it wasted, little of it going to the people whom we would like to see helped.” That’s from Friedman’s PBS TV series “Free to Choose,” which aired 30 years ago and became the basis of his No. 1 bestseller by the same name. The title says a lot. If we are free to make our own choices, we prosper. That was a new idea to many back then. At the time — when inflation and interest rates were in double digits and unemployment approached 10 percent — people thought a wise government could ensure economic growth, guarantee full employment and eliminate poverty. Friedman explained that the opposite was true, that bigger government had brought us “burdensome taxes, high inflation, a welfare system under which neither those who receive help nor those who pay for it are satisfied. Trying to do good with other people’s money simply has not worked.” No, it hasn’t. So why, 30 years later, is America doing so much more of it? Because people still have not learned Friedman’s lesson. Because of that, I give money to a charity that offers teachers free copies of some of my TV news videos that explain the benefits of free markets. The video most popular in high schools is one in which I ask students, “When so many nations remain poor, why did America become prosperous?” Many answer, “Because we have democracy.” Yet India has democracy, and India has been poor for years. “India is overpopulated,” they say. They don’t know that India has the same population density as New Jersey. Other students suggest that America prospered because of our natural resources. But Hong Kong has no natural resources. It’s basically a rock. It is also more densely populated than India. Yet, in just 50 years, Hong Kong went from poverty to American levels of wealth. How? In “Free to Choose,” Friedman explained that it was the free market. Overlooking the amazing Hong Kong skyline, he said: “This miracle hasn’t been achieved by government action -- by someone sitting in one of those tall buildings and telling people what to do. It’s been achieved by allowing the market to work.” Walking down a crowded street, he added, “They are free to buy from whom they want, to sell to whom they want, to work for whom they want. Sometimes it looks like chaos, and so it is, but underneath it’s highly organized by the impersonal forces of a free marketplace.” At the time of his series, India was a symbol of enlightened central planning. “India has tremendous economic and human potential,” Friedman commented. “The human tragedy is that in India that potential has been stifled by the straightjacket imposed by an all-wise and paternalistic government. Central planning has condemned India’s masses to poverty and misery.” What counted most for Friedman was that people should be free to try innovative ideas and succeed ... or fail. “The free market enables people ... to trade with whomever they want; to buy in the cheapest market around the world; to sell in the dearest. ... (B)ut most important of all: If they fail, they bear the cost.” “Most important of all.” It’s clear what he would have thought of today’s government bailouts. — John Stossel hosts a show on the Fox Business Channel and is the author of “Myth, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel — Why Everything You Know is Wrong.” (C)2009 JFS Productions Inc.

Soldier spotlight

‘American Pride’ your chance to feature our men and women in uniform We show pride in America in many different ways. Americans love their country, even if they sometimes have a funny way of showing it. They rant and scream at each other, often through TV talk shows and Internet blogs. They are quick to condemn. They are awfully opinionated, at times inflexible, at times rigid in their viewpoints, However, almost always they are united as one when it comes to support for and pride in our military. It wasn’t always so. For years during and immediately after the Vietnam war, we did not show respect and gratitude to the people who served the country. Those who opposed the war should have directed all their frustrations and anger at the people who sent the soldiers there, not the soldiers themselves.

It took a while for us to grow up and learn to separate the soldier from the brass, but we did learn and ever since have had a running love affair with those who wear the uniform. Each summer The Mountain Press offers its readers a chance to show that pride in the military in a very special way. Our “American Pride” special section gives you the chance to spotlight a soldier — present or past — who wore the uniform in defense of this country. The submissions often come from family members, but also from the soldiers themselves. This is the one time a year we welcome poetry. We usually get some too. When it comes to singing the praises of this great country, many seem best able to do it through verse, and we receive a few of those

writings. Mostly, the section is devoted to specific men and women who wore the uniform or are wearing it now. American Pride will be published in the edition of June 24. Send us your stories, photos and poems about the soldiers. They can be e-mailed to editor@themountainpress.com, faxed to 453-4913, dropped off at our offices weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or mailed to us at P.O. Box 4810, Sevierville 37864. We need them by June 18. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of Sevier County people who have served in the Armed Forces, during wars and in peace. This is a chance to spotlight them, and offer them thanks for what they did or are doing.

Public forum Miss Ellie unusual attraction both on and off the stage

Editor: How sad it was to learn our local heroine, Miss Ellie, has gone to Rainbow Bridge in the sky. She raised awareness of the situation of the Humane Society’s needs and brought nationwide attention to this area by first competing in the Ugliest

Dog competition, then Cutest Dog competition. I loved that little face and was fortunate to once hold her in my arms when she made one of her personal appearances. She seems to be aware of the outpouring adoration of her many fans and surely her owner, Dawn Goehring, deserves credit for providing a loving environment at the Comedy Barn where Miss Ellie wowed the audiences with her

mere presence by just being on the stage. She was an unusual attraction on and off of the stage. It is said pets are God’s toys, but she surely left her mark on us here on earth. In her memory, please make a donation to the Sevier County animal shelter. Jo Jones Sevierville

AAU WRESTLING

Wrestlers in Pigeon Forge learn to Pin 2 Win By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers high school wrestling team may have walked away with a fourth-place finish at last season’s state tournament, but past success is never enough for a hungry program. “Pigeon Forge can’t be content with how last year went,” said Tigers wrestling camp and tournament director Darrell Lauderdale. “We didn’t come close to achieving the goals that this program has set for itself. “Fourth in the state. Who cares? We don’t want to be fourth again. We want to be better than that.” And that’s why 60-yearold wrestling legend Wade Schalles is back in town again this week running the Pin 2 Win Wrestling Camp at the wrestling building beside the high school. “Wade is the best wrestling clinician in the nation, hands down, bar none,” said Lauderdale. “And in my opinion, he’s the best teacher

MIDDLE SCHOOL GRIDIRON

Tennessee middle school football teams dominate Kentucky By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — A week long adventure has ended for four Sevier County middle school football players, and the quartet all have something to show for their effort. The four players, Spencer Brien and Chad Ayers from Gatlinburg and Chaz McKinney and Connor Bailey from Sevierville, were all on the right side play this past Saturday, as both the Tennessee 7th and 8th grade all-star teams bested Kentucky’s premier players in a gridiron border battle in Louisville, Ky. Brad Justus, an assistant coach from Gatlinburg-Pittman, was the 8th grade team’s linebacker coach and saw a lot of both Brien, who started at linebacker for the squad, and McKinney, who started at defensive tackle. “(Spencer Brien) and Chaz (McKinney) were two of our strong defensive leaders, and there was no question about whether or not they were starting,” Justus said of the two, who emerged as team defensive leaders at practices at Carson-Newman leading up the Saturday showdown. In the game, which Tennessee won 33-13, both players were big contributors. Brien had a sack and four tackles, while McKinney tallied a pair of sacks and three tackles. “We kept it tight (in the 8th grade game) for a while, and then started pulling away,” Justus said. “(The defense) had two safeties.” In the 7th grade game Ayers recorded a sack from his defensive end position, while Bailey played well at receiver, though he didn’t see any balls thrown his way. The 7th grade squad beat Kentucky in a defensive battle, 17-7. Justus was especially proud of his two future G-P players. “I think Spencer was one of our better tacklers in space, and he was able to come up and make several tackles by himself,” Justus said. “He was definitely a hard hitter, and the other players took notice.” Justus also said former UT sack master and NFL 1st round draft pick Todd Kelley, who was Ayers’ position coach in the 7th grade game, had great things to say about Ayers’ ability and predicted he’d See ALL-STARS, Page A9

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — The college student who accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her said she didn’t try to fight him off because he appeared to anger easily. “I noticed throughout the night he kind of had like a short temper, like he would get really, like, defensive,” she told police in her second interview with them on March 5, about 12 hours after she said the assault took place. She didn’t elaborate further on what made her think the quarterback had a short temper. The accuser’s interview is among more than 50 audio and video recordings released Wednesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The prosecutor determined there wasn’t enough evidence to warrant criminal charges after the investigation concluded, and he said the woman ultimately asked him not to prosecute the quarterback. One of the new videos shows Roethlisberger smiling, giving people high-fives and pumping his fist at the club where the woman said she was assaulted. The 20-year-old accuser was interviewed twice by police — the first time shortly after she made the accusation early March 5 in the small college town of Milledgeville, about 80 miles southeast of Atlanta. The second interview was about 12 hours later

at the Milledgeville police station. The woman sounded intoxicated when she spoke with Milledgeville officer Jason Lopez in the first interview. Her words were slurred and she even says at one point, “Obviously, I’m drunk.” An audio recording of that interview was made. During the first interview, she said she repeatedly told Roethlisberger, “I really don’t think this is OK,” but couldn’t stop him from having sex with her in the bathroom of a bar. “I don’t know what I can ... do,” she said. “I’m a little girl and he’s a big boy.” The victim told police she is 5-foot-4 and weighs 145 pounds. Roethlisberger is listed at 6-5 and 241 pounds. Lopez asked the woman if she knew of any reason why Roethlisberger would feel “it was OK to do this to you.” While the accuser acknowledged wearing an explicit name tag, which was left over from a friend’s birthday party earlier in the night, she denied leading him on. “I wasn’t forward in any way,” she said. “I wasn’t like, ’Oh my gosh, have sex with me because you’re an NFL superstar.’ I really don’t know why (it happened).” The next afternoon, the woman went to the police station for a follow-up interview that was videotaped. She was calm and matter-of-fact when discussing the previous night, struggling to remember a few details but adamant that she had been raped by

Roethlisberger. In the video, the woman’s face was blurred. She was wearing a navy blue T-shirt and jeans had her blond hair pulled back. She told police she didn’t think trying to fight Roethlisberger would stop the assault. “I figured it wouldn’t help anything,” she said. “I didn’t want, obviously, him to hurt me any more than he was going to.” In Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger took part in a Steelers practice session but didn’t talk with the media. He was escorted off the field by a team spokesman. The new videos include the first extensive comments by the woman that have been made public, though written statements she gave investigators have been released. She has declined interview requests. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name those who say they were sexually assaulted, and authorities haven’t released her name. The quarterback was suspended for the first six games of the upcoming season, though commissioner Roger Goodell said he could reduce it to four games if Roethlisberger shows he is committed to improving his off-thefield behavior. Roethlisberger also is being sued in Nevada by a woman who says he sexually assaulted her there in 2008. There were no charges brought in that case. His attorney has denied he did anything wrong in Georgia, where See BIG BEN, Page A9

Fisher and Bryant, friends and champs By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher had a pretty productive relationship when they first came into the NBA together, winning three titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and forging a friendship that belied the differences in their personalities and their skills. “It’s not because our games are similar, it’s not because of talent similarities or any of that,� Fisher said Wednesday after the Lakers practiced for Game 4 of the NBA finals against the Boston Celtics. “It’s just that we’ve experienced a lot of good and bad things together. Because we’ve been through those fires, we’re just comfortable relying on each other, and I think he knows and I know that if anything in the world happened, if there was one person that would stand up and say, ’I’m here for you,’ you know, it would go both ways.� A tough and emotional point guard with a history of clutch performances, Fisher made five baskets in the fourth quarter to lead the Lakers to a 91-84 victory over Boston on Tuesday night and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven NBA finals. His signature play this time wasn’t a long-

distance heave — like the one he sank against San Antonio with 0.4 seconds left in 2004 — or a series of jumpers like those that turned things around in Game 4 of the finals against Orlando last year. Instead, Fisher helped clinch the victory over Boston when he followed through on a breakaway layup before being flattened by three Celtics — including 300-pound Glen “Big Baby� Davis and 6-foot-11 Kevin Garnett. Fisher, who’s 6-1 and 210 pounds, converted the three-point play to turn it into a seven-point game. “He’s very, very, very, very tough — mentally and physically,� Bryant said. “He doesn’t back down from anything or anyone.� Fisher played the first eight years of his career with the Lakers, winning three titles in the Shaqand-Kobe era before signing with Golden State as a free agent in 2004. It was only then that Bryant appreciated what kind of friend and teammate he had. “Fish and I, we’ve always been close, though I think when he left we became even closer, as weird as that seems,� Bryant said. “Everything happens for a reason. It’s kind of good to see him kind of come full circle and be back here again.�

be a very talented high school player one day. Chris Wampler, who played on the defensive line at Tennessee in the early ‘80s before playing in the USFL and NFL, spoke highly of McKinney. “Chaz McKinney is a player,� Wampler, who is the head coach at Lenoir City Middle School, said. “I was very impressed with Chaz. He did what you asked him to do, and he was a great athlete and he played very well. Chaz can be whatever he wants to be.� Overall, Justus said he was proud of the Sevier County kids and the Tennessee players as a whole.

including 36 wins over national champions with 17 of those victories ending in a pin. So what is a wrestler with those credentials doing in Pigeon Forge? “Pigeon Forge has the top wrestling program in East Tennessee, and the kids down here are wonderful,� said Schalles. “Being around (the Tigers program) helps renew my interest in wanting to be here. “It’s about giving back. It’s nice to be around people who believe in giving back as they were given. “The Pigeon Forge program is just a prime example of the seniors helping the underclassmen, and the underclassmen helping the middle schoolers and the

“I think our team in general had pretty good character and discipline,� Justus said. “We didn’t have any problems all week, our team came to play. They had some problems on (the Kentucky) side. Our kids all came in and did well, and it’s an honor to have that many players from one county. “I think Chad and Chaz having experience working with some NFL players and high level college players it will make them into better football players,� Justus continued. “I think it was a great experience, I enjoyed working with players from Morristown, Memphis, Chattanooga, and around the state.� The two 7th graders are eligible to be selected to play in a national game following their upcoming 8th grade seasons. middle schoolers helping the elementary school wrestlers. And that all starts from the top, the leadership of the school.� In all, 28 young wrestlers have been attending the fiveday camp that ends Friday, including 22 from Pigeon Forge, one from Seymour and five from Heritage. The young wrestlers are getting as much from the camp as Schalles. “It’s great having somebody here that has done as much as he has (in wrestling),� said Pigeon Forge rising senior Edward Holland, who is in his third camp with Schalles. “It’s just great learning from somebody that knows everything he knows. “It’s a great experience. It’s hard work, but he makes it fun while you’re doing it ... and it helps a lot.� chitchcock@themountainpress.com

he owns a lake house near Milledgeville. In suspending Roethlisberger, Goodell has said the 28-year-old failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior with his carousing. One of the new videos shows the quarterback partying at the club where the accusation was made. The shaky 49-second video, shot by a member of Roethlisberger’s entourage, shows the quarterback, wearing a black Nike baseball cap and black T-shirt with a devil’s face on it. Most of what Roethlisberger is saying is drowned out by loud music in the club, but he can be heard asking a girl what her drink tastes like. He repeatedly gives high fives to people off camera. When the friend shooting the video asks him to say hi, he strikes a pose, punches his fist twice in the air and flashes a huge grin at the camera. Several of Roethlisberger’s teammates said they didn’t even know the DVDs were being released. “It’s not even something that’s being discussed,� backup quarterback Charlie Batch said. “It has

nothing to do with football.� Offensive lineman Willie Colon — the only teammate with Roethlisberger at the Georgia nightclub — said he hasn’t had a chance to speak with Roethlisberger about the case since the tapes were made public. “I had no idea that it was going to be released to the public,� Colon said. “All I can do is just deal with whatever comes along with it. I just want to let everybody know I have a family and I’m a good man and I spoke freely in my interview� with Georgia investigators. Colon’s hourlong interview with a GBI agent was one of the videos released Wednesday. He shed little light on the case, saying he didn’t even know anything had occurred until he saw police at the club. He wasn’t with Roethlisbgerer afterward, leaving in a separate car, though he was concerned about what impact the accusations would have. “I’m a player, too,� Colon told the agent in his interview. “I can’t get in trouble. We’ve got to be more cautious about putting (ourselves) in situations where people can harm us.� ——— Associated Press Writer Joe Mandak in Pittsburgh contributed to this report.

Advice

Husband inappropriately attracted to wife’s mother

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am a 25-year-old male who has been married for a few years, and I still love my wife as much as the day I met her. The problem is, I am having sexual fantasies about her mother. My mother-in-law is happily married and has no idea about my feelings. My wife has heard me make a few comments, but she does not take them seriously. I am a good person and have never been in any kind of trouble with the law or anything of the sort. So my question is, why am I having these feelings? I’ve tried to block them out, but I can’t. -- Oregon Dear Oregon: You’ve been watching too much cable TV. If your motherin-law is attractive, you are seeing her as an available female instead of as “Mom.” You need to recalibrate your impression of her, and you can do that by making a concerted effort to substitute more “motherly” images in your head. Imagine her baking pies and cleaning spit-up. Think of her as your future children’s grandmother, with white hair and wrinkles. Whatever images you can put in your brain that will replace the sexual ones you have now will help. We urge you to work on this, or it could destroy your marriage. Dear Annie: What can I say to my 10-yearold daughter, who came home from school today and told me a classmate is having a birthday party and invited every girl in the class except her? To add insult to injury, she

even invited my daughter’s best friend -- a girl who attends school in another district. I am at a loss for words. -- Sad Mom Dear Mom: Is it possible your daughter’s invitation was lost? This happens more often than you might think. Also, many schools have a policy that doesn’t allow children to single out and exclude one classmate in this manner. It’s a form of bullying. If your daughter’s school has such a policy, you can discuss this with the principal. If you are friendly with the other girl’s mother, you can talk to her about it. But if the bottom line is simply that the birthday girl doesn’t like your daughter, you need to tell your child that life isn’t always fair, even for good people, and it will help to learn positive ways to cope with disappointment. Perhaps on the day of the party, you and your daughter could do something special together. Dear Annie: I was enraged to read the letter from “Running Out of Room,” whose sister gives framed pictures of her children to their family as birthday and holiday gifts. I also do this. There is rarely anything I can think of to buy my mother-in-law that she doesn’t already

have or hasn’t recently purchased. But she loves getting new pictures of her grandkids. No, it is not cheap to put them in frames, but it comes from the heart. And you are correct in saying they don’t need to display every picture. There have been times when my own mother puts the pictures in an album and then returns the frames for another photo. “Running” may not appreciate these photographs, but I believe her sister is giving her an extremely heartfelt gift, and she should embrace it. Those kids aren’t going to be little forever, and it will be nice to look back later and remember what they were like “way back when.” -- Roberta in Rhode Island Dear Roberta: It’s fine to give Mom pictures of the kids at every occasion, but when given to siblings who have their own children, it can be interpreted as bragging. As long as you don’t mind if the photographs are not displayed, it’s OK with us if you keep sending Mom mementos of the little tykes.
