By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — A Cosby man’s alleged failure to observe the speed limit led to a host of felony drug charges Wednesday. David Ray Wilkerson, 38, of Cosby, now faces charges including

possession of methamphetamine, promotion of methamphetamine, possession of a schedule II substance, two counts of possession of a schedule IV substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Wilkerson is being held at the Sevier County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Sevierville police officer Brandon Perry was patrolling on Dolly Parton Parkway at about 10:20 a.m. when he saw Wilkerson exceeding the speed limit and performed a routine traffic stop,

Detective Kevin Bush said. When he approached the car, Perry smelled what he suspected was marijuana from Wilkerson’s pickup. After that, he called for a K-9 unit from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office to assist in searching the car. Officers found a substance believed to be meth, along with marijuana and other narcotics, and items that could be used to make additional methamphetamine, including a gas mask and rubber gloves.

Because Wilkerson was found with meth in his possession as well as materials to make it, officers have to contact the Department of Children Services if he has children, Bush explained. Contaminants from his person could spread to the children even if he was making the drug somewhere else. “The contamination just off his clothes could be passed off to children.” n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Famed television family takes tour of Parrot Mountain By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — One of Sevier County’s hidden gems will soon be shining under the national spotlight thanks to a visit from multitudinous television family the Duggars. The stars of TLC’s series “19 Kids and Counting” were here Thursday for the third time in a little over a year, this time for a tour of the Parrot Mountain attraction, home to hundreds of exotic birds. The brood, along with friends and Knoxville residents the Bates family, were escorted through the hillside retreat by owner Fletcher Hollingsworth, who demonstrated the talents of some of the well-trained birds that call the place home. After coaching one to help him sing, “Rocky Top” to the delight of the more than 20 young children from both families crowded around, he prompted another to take a religious turn with its call of “Praise the Lord.” That second bird got applause, but what got shrieks of delight from the youngsters was watching their father, former Arkansas legislator Jim Bob Duggar, See tour, Page A4

Alzheimer’s Association seeks handbags, jewelry for ‘Old Bags and Tea’ By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer

SEVIERVILLE — Volunteers with the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk are asking local women to give “gently used” designer handbags and costume jewelry they no longer use for a unique fundraiser. This will be the second year for the “Old Bags and Tea” auction and luncheon, a fundraiser for the Citizens National Bank’s Memory Walk team fund raising. They’re planning to sell the items at a luncheon Aug. 3. Before that, though, they need to have at least 50 handbags to sell. So, they’re asking women to drop off handbags and costume jewelry that remain in good condition at any Citizens National Bank location in Sevier County. “We got a lot of the name brand, designer brand and bags last year,” said Stephanie Flatt, captain of the memory walk team. “We’re also looking for jewelry, like costume jewelry.” Last year, they got about 50 bags, and they’re hoping to have at least that many for this year’s event. They have a soft deadline of July 15 for delivering the bags, although they’ll take some after that, Flatt said. See handbags, Page A4

GP teacher to lead Education Association Submitted Report NASHVILLE — Gera Summerford, a math teacher at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School, was elected president of the 55,000-member Tennessee Education Association at the organization’s annual meeting in Nashville. Summerford will assume her two-year term as leader of the state’s largest professional organization July 1. The representative assem-

bly is TEA’s highest governing body and consists of delegatemembers who are elected locally by Summerford their peers. Outgoing TEA President Earl Wiman stressed the importance of equitable compensation for teachers and education support personnel.

“In Tennessee, at this very moment, 7,000 teachers are eligible for retirement. Who will teach in Tennessee?” said Wiman, who completes his final term as TEA president at the end of June. “In Tennessee, 6,000 more teachers will be eligible for full retirement in five years.” In his final address to the delegates, Wiman emphasized the need to make Tennessee more competitive when it comes to hiring and

retaining teachers. “We know that if we are going to get and keep the best [teachers], the state must pay more of the teacher salary through the Basic Education Program (BEP),” said Wiman. “Unless we make improved retirement a reality, Tennessee’s children will lose more good teachers. Teachers who are looking for better futures for themselves and their families are going outside of teaching, outside of Tennessee, or both.”

The Appalachian Bear Rescue, a facility that rescues injured or orphaned black bears in Great Smoky Mountains, hosts the expo to educate the public on the animals through stories and exhibits. “The Black Bear Expo is a spe-

suspect in the Natalee Holloway missing-teenager case, “confessed with a wealth of details that have been corroborated through criminal investigative rigor.�

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army says at least 200 remains in Arlington National Cemetery have been misidentified or misplaced, casting a shadow over what has been called America’s “sacred ground.� Defense officials said Thursday that the Army has forced out the cemetery’s two civilian leaders and appointed a new chief. The Army says it plans a more thorough investigation of the questioned grave sites under the new management. More than 300,000 people are buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including service members from the Civil War as well as Iraq and Afghanistan. Army Secretary John McHugh told a Pentagon press conference that the investigation found 211 graves where there were problems of misidentification or improper record keeping.

Cow killed after charging people

COOKEVILLE (AP) — A Cookeville police officer has fatally shot a large contrary cow. The Cookeville Herald-Citizen quoted city police Sgt. Scott Winfree who said he was sent to the Putnam Fairgrounds area late Tuesday night on a report that a cow was roaming the area. Winfree said the animal charged several people who tried to round it up and get it back into a stock barn and had butted a truck. The officer said the cow weighed between 1,200 and 1,400 pounds and was a danger to area residents and motorists. Winfree killed the cow with one rifle shot and stock barn workers removed it.

Saudi man jailed for mall kiss

Wealth rises 4th straight quarter

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A Saudi court convicted a man and sentenced him to four months in prison and 90 lashes for kissing a woman in a mall, a government-owned daily reported Thursday. Saudi religious police arrested the man and two women after seeing them on mall cameras “engaging in immoral movements in front of other shoppers,� the Al-Yom newspaper said. The man, who is in his 20s, was seen with a woman “sitting on one of the chairs, exchanging kisses and hugs.� It was unclear what the other woman was doing. Neither the man nor the women were identified by name. The kingdom’s powerful religious police, under the control of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, enforce Saudi Arabia’s strict interpretation of Islam, which prohibits unrelated men and women from mingling.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans saw their wealth increase at the start of this year as the economic recovery boosted stock portfolios. The Federal Reserve reported Thursday that household net worth rose by 2.1 percent in the first three months of this year to $54.6 trillion. It marked the fourth consecutive quarter that Americans’ wealth grew. Stock portfolios were the biggest force lifting net worth in the first quarter. However, since then, Wall Street has slumped — the Standard & Poor’s 500, which measures the 500 biggest stocks, has lost nearly a tenth of its value. Net worth is the value of assets such as home, checking accounts and investments minus debts like mortgages and credit cards. Even with the first-quarter gain, Americans’ net worth would have to rise an additional 21 percent to get back to its pre-recession peak of $65.9 trillion.

NASHVILLE (AP) — The fans love Carrie Underwood and they proved it again during the CMT Music Awards.

Both awards are chosen by fans tuned into the live shows. She was the night’s only multiple winner.

Bonnaroo begins in Manchester

MANCHESTER (AP) — It’s often joked that more people like to claim that they were at Woodstock in 1969 than were actually there. For today’s music mega-festivals, such boasting is entirely plausible. The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which begans its ninth annual installment Thursday evening in Manchester, Tenn., has — like many festivals — gradually let more of its experience seep out on the Web. Nearly 100 acts, including Conan O’Brien’s traveling comedy show, will be spread out over a multitude of stages and tents on the Tennessee farm owned by Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment, the organizers of Bonnaroo. More than 70,000 fans are expected to attend the festival, which runs through Sunday. But perhaps as many, or more, will watch Jay-Z, the National, Norah Jones and many others at YouTube.com/bonnaroo. Thousands more might listen to the Dave Matthews Band, the Flaming Lips and others at NPR.org/music. And still more may catch up watching “Live From Bonnaroo 2010� on Fuse on June 17.

It’s been 10 years since the Judds have toured together. The tour kicks off Nov. 28 in Green Bay, Wis. The Judds will sing their hits, new songs from an upcoming album and holiday material on a tour that weaves through the Midwest and West. Their final show together will come Dec. 19 in Phoenix. The mother-daughter duo has scored 14 No. 1 songs in a career that’s spanned nearly three decades. After rising to the top of country music, they called it quits in 1991 after doctors diagnosed Naomi Judd with hepatitis.

whose mother died due to Alzheimer’s last year. The team raised more than $2,000 last year, and hopes to add to the total this year. The “Old Bags and Tea� luncheon, where they will auction the items off, is set for Aug. 3 at about 11 a.m. in the Courthouse Plaza. Tickets will go on sale soon, Flatt said.

covered with chirping, ducking birds in an enclosure up the hill. “I’ve got them eating out of my hands now,� Duggar quipped as the birds lapped up nectar from a pair of plastic cups he held. “It’s like the feeding of the 5,000,� Bates family patriarch Gil Bates joked as more and more birds gathered, a reference to a Biblical story in which Jesus feeds a multitude with just some bread and fish. The allusion was appropriate at Parrot Mountain, into which Hollingsworth has built scriptural citations throughout, from a prayer area surrounded by singing birds to the Bible quotations on signs throughout the place. Those nods to Hollingsworth’s Christian faith played a big part in getting the Duggars, themselves very devout, to the attraction. “It’s kind of a funny story,� Hollingsworth says with a chuckle when asked about how the crowd, with a television production crew in tow, came to visit one of the area’s lesserknown attractions. “We had some trees around that needed to be cut down, so I called Mr. Bates because he has a company that does that work. He came up here and he just fell in love with the place. He wanted his friends to see it.� So it was that Jim Bob Duggar, 18 children — mother Michelle was home in Little Rock caring for newest baby Josie, who was just released from a second stay in the hospital in her six-month life last Thursday and whom her father reported is “doing really well� — and the entire Bates clan came to Parrot Mountain. They laughed as the microphone man in the filming crew was asked to remove the fuzzy cover from his equipment lest the birds mistake it for a predator, smiled broadly as they held the birds on their fingers and thrilled as a pair of the girls used a singsong chant to get one bird to do a dance.

“This is a really neat place,� Duggar said. “I think it really helps people appreciate God’s creation. It’s just incredible what he’s put together here and what he’s been able to teach these birds to do.� Duggar expressed his amazement to Hollingsworth, who explained the secret to training birds. “Patience. It takes patience and time,� he said. “They have the intelligence of a 6- or 7-yearold child, so you can teach them but you have to repeat the lessons a lot.� Of course, the birds weren’t the only attraction at Parrot Mountain Thursday. Though the visit was kept fairly quiet, the word did get out to a few. Among those were Jeff, Rita and Makayla Sweeton of Beersheba Springs, who heard about the filming at a store in Pigeon Forge on Thursday afternoon and rushed up to Parrot Mountain, an attraction they had never heard of before. “Our whole family is Duggar fans,� Rita Sweeton said. “We can’t wait to tell them we saw the Duggars. They’re going to be so jealous.� The family arrived a while before the famous clan and took in the whole park before doing some star watching. They said they were glad to have had reason to leave the Parkway and visit the McCarter Hollow Road location. “We have really enjoyed this. It’s something else,� Jeff Sweeton said. “We’ll be back here.� As for the Duggars, who came to the area last year to take part in Dolly Parton’s Homecoming Parade and again to turn on Pigeon Forge’s Winterfest lights, it seems likely they’ll also be returning to Sevier County. “We’ve been coming here for years and I’m sure we’ll keep coming,� Jim Bob Duggar said. “We love it here.�

Bredesen unhappy with focus of some in state Legislature By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer N A S H V I L L E — Tennessee gun owners and immigration foes again emerged as big winners from the legislative session that wrapped up early Thursday. But a tea party-supported effort to allow Tennesseans to opt out of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul fell six votes short of passing on the last night of session. Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen told reporters Thursday afternoon that he’s disappointed to see increasing attention paid to issues he doesn’t consider central to the Legislature’s mission. “I’ve never had a lot of tolerance for what I consider posturing issues (like) this whole thing about how we don’t have to obey Obamacare,� Bredesen said. The governor noted that several issues such as gun rights have support among members of both parties. “It’s a piece of politics I don’t like, whether it’s done by Democrats or Republicans,� he said. But the governor praised lawmakers for overwhelmingly approving the state’s nearly $30 billion annual spending plan that includes more than $450 million in cuts to state agencies. It was deja vu for a bill to allow the state’s 300,000 handgun carry permit holders to bring their weapons into bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. Just as last year, both chambers easily overrode a veto by Bredesen. The previous law was deemed “unconstitutionally vague� by a Nashville judge. Bredesen in his veto message called this

year’s measure even more “expansive and dangerous.� Gun rights advocates also passed a measure to limit the governor’s authority to limit the sale of firearms or ammunitions during a state of emergency. But they fell short in their latest efforts to seal access to the state’s database of the names and addresses of handgun carry permit holders. A resolution to commend Arizona’s governor and lawmakers on that state’s tough new immigration law was passed by both chambers — though only by the minimum 17 votes needed in the Senate. Last-minute changes to a bill addressing when employers can require their workers to speak English has upset immigrant and refugee rights advocates after the final version was stripped of language that clarified when workers can and cannot be compelled to speak English.

By JOHN FLESHER Associated Press Writer FORT JACKSON, La. — Rescuers gently washing the goo from pelicans make for some of the few hopeful images from the disaster on the Gulf of Mexico, yet some scientists contend those efforts are good for little more than warming hearts. Critics call bird-washing a wasteful exercise in feel-good futility that simply buys doomed creatures a bit more time. They say the money and man-hours would be better spent restoring wildlife habitat or saving endangered species. In the seven weeks since oil began erupting from a mile-deep well after a drilling rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, more than 150 pelicans, gulls, sandwich terns and other birds have been treated at a warehouse-turned-refugee encampment 70 miles south of New Orleans. A total of 473 birds in the Gulf region have been collected alive with visible oil; 117 oiled birds have been found dead. More are on the way, as oil slicks assault beaches and marshes that serve as breeding areas for many species. The victims are scrubbed clean and held a week or more to recover. Then a Coast Guard plane flies them to Tampa Bay in Florida for release — far enough away, workers hope, that the birds won’t return to oiled waters and get soaked again. Birds treated from this disaster have been tagged,

and none has been spotted in oil again. It’s all part of a broader animal care initiative overseen by federal agencies and operated largely

by nonprofit groups, with funding from BP PLC. Other centers focus on turtles and marine mammals. “All of us here taking care of the wildlife feel it’s important,� said Rhonda Murgatroyd of Wildlife Response Services in Houma, La. “We can’t just leave them there — somebody has to take care of them.� A noble sentiment, said Ron Kendall, director of the Institute of Environmental and Human Health at Texas Tech University. But the hard reality is that many, if not most, oiled creatures probably won’t live long after being cleansed and freed, he said. “Once they’ve gone through that much stress, particularly with all the human handling and confinement, it’s very difficult,� Kendall said. “Some species might tolerate it better than others, but when you compare the benefits to the costs ... I am skeptical.� The arm of the federal government that nominally oversees offshore rigs agrees with Kendall, and has for some time. “Studies are indicating that rescue and cleaning of oiled birds makes no effective contribution to conservation, except conceivably for species with a small world population,� the U.S. Minerals Management Service said in a 2002 environmental analysis of proposed Gulf oil drilling projects. “A growing number of studies indicate that current rehabilitation techniques are not effective in returning healthy birds to the wild.�

Aide: Blagojevich made deal for Obama seat CHICAGO (AP) — A former top aide to Rod Blagojevich testified Thursday that the thengovernor said he had a deal to appoint a state legislator to Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat in exchange for letting a veto of ethics legislation stand. Alonzo Monk testified that Blagojevich was worried the legislation would hurt his ability to raise funds because it banned people with state contracts of $50,000 or more from donating to the campaigns of politicians who administered them. Blagojevich, who had campaigned by saying he would bring a new era of ethics in state government, had complained

the bill unfairly targeted the governor’s office. It had passed both houses without a single ’no’ vote before his veto. Monk quoted Blagojevich as saying former state Senate President Emil Jones agreed to the alleged deal. But Jones called for the vote, which passed just over a month before Obama was elected president. The override vote might not have occurred had Obama not urged Jones — his mentor — to call his chamber to action.

Jones did not immediately respond to a message Thursday at his business. His cell phone was not able to accept a message. Prosecutors began playing wiretap recordings Thursday afternoon, starting with one that includes a sometimes-agitated, audibly upset Blagojevich talking about fundrais-

ing goals with Monk. They spoke about the need to pull in contributions before the ethics law kicked in.

TVA to clean up housing on campsites NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Valley Authority will start cleaning up public campsites where people have set up permanent housing and other structures. During a board meeting Thursday in Jackson, TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore showed pictures of campgrounds and other areas where people had built decks onto parked mobile homes and installed large propane tanks or docks. Kilgore said cleaning up these sites would not be popular, but he said

the utility does “not want permanent lots on the riverside for the price of a campsite.” TVA operates about 100 public recreation areas throughout the Tennessee Valley, including campgrounds, day-use areas and boat launching ramps. Barbara Martocci, a TVA spokeswoman, said cleaning up campsites is part of a larger initiative to clear up violations on TVA land. That would include building with permits, landowners building on neighboring TVA

property or campgrounds where lease holders have allowed people to build porches or walkways. “TVA is going back and reviewing a lot of areas and determined there are violations and encroachments that need to be fixed,” she said. Some of the violations have gone on for a long time and people could be upset by the recent initiative, Martocci said. “There is a possibility that people who have been there a while will not understand why this is happening,” she said.

The board also approved an expansion of a program that pays businesses to reduce their power use during times when demand is high. The program was initially approved last year and resulted in the reduction of peak power demand by 160 megawatts. The expansion would provide additional incentives with the goal of reducing the peak power demand by up to 560 megawatts by 2012 — the equivalent capacity of three new gasfired combustion turbine units.

Amendment to protect flag needs passage By Clarence Hill Guest columnist One sure way to light up The American Legion’s switchboards is for an overzealous homeowners association to ban the display of Old Glory within its community. While these disturbing incidents seem to be on the rise in recent years, I find it completely ironic that while a ban can exist on flying the flag of our country, no such ban is allowed to exist on desecrating it. “Sorry, Mr. Veteran, you’re not allowed to fly the flag on your private property, but the Constitution says you can urinate on it, spit on it, and burn it all you want,” is what the government seems to be telling us. The American Legion finds this unacceptable. In fact, for 21 years now, dating back to the Supreme Court’s flawed Texas v. Johnson decision, we’ve been pretty fired up about it. In that case, a narrow 5-4 majority ruled that flag desecration was permitted by the First Amendment. Essentially, a margin consisting of one Supreme Court justice invalidated flag protection laws enacted by 48 states and the federal government. The high court removed from the people the right to protect their nation’s foremost symbol — a right that the people have enjoyed since the birth of this nation. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist usually voted on opposite sides, but they were both right about flag desecration. “In my considered judgment, sanctioning the public desecration of the flag will tarnish its value — both for those who cherish the ideals for which it waves and for those who desire to don the robes of martyrdom by burning it,” Stevens said. “That tarnish is not justified by the trivial burden on free expression occasioned by requiring that an available, alternative mode of expression — including uttering words critical of the flag … be employed.” Rather than “free expression,” Rehnquist compared flag desecration to an “inarticulate grunt,” and wrote, “I cannot agree that the First Amendment invalidates the Act of Congress, and the laws of 48 of the 50 states, which make criminal the burning of the flag.” Fortunately, there is something we can do about it. Measures sit in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives that would allow for a narrowly drawn constitutional amendment which would return to the people the right to protect Old Glory. It simply says, “The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.” Flag protection amendments have passed the House of Representative six times in the past, only to fall short of the necessary two-thirds supermajority required in the Senate. Flag Day during an election year represents the perfect opportunity to urge your congressional delegation to vote to protect our flag, the embodiment of what Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf called our “national identity.” While the Constitution is supposed to protect us from the tyranny of the majority, a strong case can be made that protecting flag desecration as free speech represents a “tyranny of the minority.” Polls repeatedly show that Americans support this amendment. Fifty state legislatures have called for the amendment’s passage. Overwhelming majorities in Congress have passed it in the past and the amendment fell only one vote short last time in the Senate. When is the last time that 66 percent of the Senate agreed on anything of substance? Don’t be swayed by phony arguments about desecrating red, white and blue neckties, underwear or beach towels. These are not flags. Would anyone consider putting these items on the caskets of our fallen heroes? Would you run a scarf up a flagpole? The beauty of the flag amendment is its narrowness — it covers the flag, not its likenesses. It also covers “desecration,” not the respectful “burning” of it during its retirement, as opponents would have you believe. The amendment is worth repeating: “The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.” Nothing more, nothing less. By encouraging Congress to support House Joint Resolution 47 and Senate Joint Resolution 15, we can make the statement that our flag is important and that “We the people” matter. You can reach your members of Congress by calling the U.S. Capitol, toll free, at 877-762-8762.

How sweet it is Sevierville Chamber gets double shot of good news from Legislature, BOMA Sevierville can boast of being the largest city in Sevier County. It can boast of being the county seat. And it can boast of being Dolly Parton’s hometown. But when it comes to being known as a tourism destination, it’s a distant third to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. City officials and the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce have been working to make up ground. To do that, however, it is imperative to get the word out, and that means having the money to mount aggressive advertising campaigns. That’s why Chamber Executive Director Brenda McCroskey was beaming when she got a double shot of good news this week. First, the Legislature voted to save the cooperative advertising budget, a multimillion dollar fund that gives cities a chance to double their tourism marketing efforts — a crucial part of Sevierville’s

advertising plan. Then, the Sevierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen juggled its budget to give the Chamber $260,000 extra for advertising. When tourists spend money in Sevier County, whether it’s in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or in unincorporated areas, it’s good for the entire county. And while each of the cities and the county have an espirit de corps, there is competition among them. That’s why it was considered something of a coup when Dolly Parton, whose nationally known theme park is in Pigeon Forge, agreed to do an ad campaign proudly saying that her hometown is Sevierville. Let’s face it: For many tourists, Sevierville is simply the city they must travel through to get to Dollywood, Splash Country, the Comedy Barn, the Titanic and other

attractions in Pigeon Forge, or to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the ski resort and the shops along the strip in Gatlinburg. While many may just as soon Sevierville keep its more traditional small-town way of life, the city and Chamber want to get the word out. They want the world to visit, to spend their dollars here. There are helicopter rides, riding stables, factory outlets, great shows and restaurants. Sevierville Events Center is second to none. There are museums, river rafting and tubing. There’s even Double A professional baseball. For much of the world, however, Sevier County means Gatlinburg and/or Pigeon Forge. That’s why the double shot of good news the Sevierville Chamber received from the Legislature and BOMA this week was doubly sweet.

Public forum Kindness Counts appreciates coverage in the newspaper

Editor: The members of Kindness Counts would like to thank Gail Crutchfield and The Mountain Press for the wonderful article that was printed on May 30, 2010. We were delighted with Ms. Crutchfield’s understanding of what we are doing and trying to get accomplished with the care of the animals and responsible pet

ownership. Our all-volunteer group is anxiously working toward the day we can open the doors to the low cost spay/neuter/vaccination clinic here in Sevier County. We have come so far in the seven years since the organization started, from getting our non-profit status, purchasing 10 acres of land for the clinic and future adoption center, to the donation that allowed the exterior shell of the clinic building to be erected on the

property. We feel that we are heading in the right direction, given the constant increase of calls for our services. Once again, we appreciate The Mountain Press covering our progress and the wonderfully written article by Ms. Crutchfield. Thank you again for your help in spreading the word about our mission.

PREP TRACK AND FIELD

SCHS state champion accepts ETSU scholarship Foster runs his way to a full ride in track By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — A great performance on the state’s biggest stage set the table for Sevier County’s Jeremiah Foster, who Thursday signed to run track at the NCAA Division I level with East Tennessee State University on a full scholarship. Foster, who as a slightly undersized hurdler had been largely overlooked by colleges despite his firstrate performances and slew of school records, used the TSSAA’s state championship to showcase his athletic ability to college recruiters for the final time last month. “Going into this season he was a little discouraged because there weren’t very many (colleges) that seemed to be very interested in him coming to run for them,” SCHS head track and field coach Jonathan Brewer said. “That was was kind of surprising to me because last year he ended (last year) on such a high note. We were one of the fastest 4x100 teams

Pictured with the Fosters are (left to right) SCHS track and field head coach Jonathan Brewer, SCHS athletic director Todd Loveday and track and field assistant Eddie McCandless. in the state, he was allstate in the 110 hurdles, he was state runner-up in the 300 hurdles, and there just wasn’t much interest. “I think he was kind of discouraged and shocked by it,” Brewer continued. “He qualified for Nike

Nationals and got to go run there, and usually when you reach that level of competition somebody is going to take a chance on you.” But the calls still hadn’t really come, so heading into the state meet, Foster

knew the stakes. “I visited ETSU this winter during football season, and I was interested in running track,” Foster said. “I didn’t know if there was much scholarship money available, and I didn’t know if I even had

a chance of running at the next level. “I kind of got my hopes up when state was coming around, because I knew I had a good chance of doing well.” And do well he did. After finishing with an

all-state mark of third in the 110 hurdles, Foster blistered the competition, leading wire-to-wire in the 300 meter for Sevier County’s first state track championship. “They finally came and watched him run at the state championship,” Brewer said. “And I was just so happy for him, because he put on a show. From the time the gun sounded he was in the lead and he won it. “I think the only people that were running down the stadium steps faster than (assistant coach) Dustin Huffaker was ETSU’s coaches. They got down the steps in a hurry.” “Things just kind of fell in place when I got first place. The ETSU coach immediately talked to me and said he’d like to talk to me about scholarships and stuff like that. We jumped on it, and the next weekend we talked to him and he said ‘we can get you a full ride.’ Foster’s head coach seemed really excited for his hurdler Thursday morning. “I can’t think of anybody more deserving than him,” Brewer said. “He’s worked extremely hard the last four years to get to this point. He’s always wanted to have a chance to run See FOSTER, Page A10

USC hit hard by NCAA sanctions By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

AP file

Virginia short stop Tyler Cannon turns a double play during last year’s College World Series.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California has received a two-year bowl ban and a sharp loss of football scholarships in a report on the NCAA’s four-year investigation of the school. The NCAA cited USC for a lack of institutional control Thursday in its long-awaited report, which detailed numerous violations primarily involving Heisman Trophywinning tailback Reggie Bush and men’s basketball player O.J. Mayo. The NCAA found that Bush, identified as a “former football studentathlete,” was ineligible beginning at least by December 2004, a ruling that could open discussion on the revocation of the New Orleans Saints star’s Heisman. Members of the Heisman Trophy Trust have said they might review Bush’s award if he was ruled ineligible by the NCAA. The NCAA also ordered USC to vacate every victory in which Bush participated while ineligible. USC beat Oklahoma in the BCS championship game on Jan. 4, 2005, and won 12 games during Bush’s Heisman-winning 2005 season,

While the bowl ban is the most damaging to new coach Lane Kiffin, USC also will lose 30 scholarships over a three-year period, 10 annually from 2011-13. The Trojans received four years of probation. which ended with a loss to Texas in the Rose Bowl. “I have a great love for the University of Southern California and I very much regret the turn that this matter has taken, not only for USC, but for the fans and players,” Bush said in a statement, according to an ESPN report. “I am disappointed by (Thursday’s) decision and disagree with the NCAA’s findings. If the University decides to appeal, I will continue to cooperate with the NCAA and USC, as I did during the investigation. In the meantime, I will continue to focus on making a positive impact for the University and for the community where I live.” The ruling is a sharp repudiation of the Trojans’ decade of success under former coach Pete Carroll, when USC won seven straight Pac10 titles and two national championships. Carroll left the school for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks in

January. While the bowl ban is the most damaging to new coach Lane Kiffin, USC also will lose 30 scholarships over a three-year period, 10 annually from 2011-13. The Trojans received four years of probation. The Trojans have been under a growing cloud of suspicion since Bush’s apparently shady dealings with aspiring sports marketers and sketchy businessmen were first revealed. The NCAA, the Pac-10 and even the FBI conducted investigations into the Bush family’s business relationships and USC’s responsibility for the culture around its marquee football team. USC is the first Football Bowl Subdivision school to be banned from postseason play since Alabama served a two-year ban ending in 2003. The NCAA issued no bowl bans during the tenure of late presiSee USC PENALTIES, Page A10

Former PF Tiger drafted in 12th round G-P coach, 2 players will suit up for by Cleveland Indians PILOT ROCKY TOP LEAGUE HOOPS

No.5 Virginia still alive for CWS title By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer Life is good for former Pigeon Forge Tigers star Tyler Cannon. Not only was he selected as the 360th overall pick by the Cleveland Indians in the 12th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Tuesday, his Virginia Cavaliers team is on the verge of its secondconsecutive and secondever berth into next week’s

College World Series. Cannon, a senior with Virginia, was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 41st round last season, but he opted to stay in school for another shot at a CWS title after falling short last year and bowing out of the tournament in a classic 4-3 loss to Arkansas that took 12 innings to decide, setting a new CWS record with an elapsed time of four hours, 47 minutes.

Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders basketball coach Raul Placeres was the first pick of the eighth round (45th overall) during Wednesday night’s fourth-annual 60-player Pilot Rocky Top League Draft. So despite his advancing age, Placeres will compete against some of the most promising young college talent in the country — along with six rising high school seniors — for the fourth straight year when league action begins next week at Bearden High School. “I’m 29 now, so it ain’t like it used to be,” said the former Maryville College star point guard, Placeres, who will suit up for the DeRoyal Industries team. “It’s very humbling for me that they consider me as still having some game left.

There were 61 youth campers and future Highlanders who attended this week’s third-annual Coach P Camp at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School, learning fundamentals of the game for the past four days from coaches Raul Placeres, Allen Cox and Mike Leatherwood. “We tried to teach the kids the stuff we work on at the high school level,� said Placeres, following the conclusion of the camp on Thursday. “And I think the kids enjoyed it. A lot of these kids have came to this camp for the past three years, and it’s fun to see their development from one year to the next. That’s the enjoyment I get from this.�

SOUTHERN LEAGUE HARDBALL

Smokies take series with 4-2 win SEVIERVILLE — Another strong pitching performance by the Tennessee Smokies’ starting rotation propelled them to their second win in as many nights against the Huntsville Stars, 4-2. HungWen Chen’s eight-strikeout performance helped give this week’s series to the Smokies and extended the team’s lead over the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in the Southern League North Division to 1.5 games. Chen was impressive in picking up his third consecutive win since losing five straight in May. Along with the eight strikeouts in his seven innings of work, Chen (6-5) allowed only one run on four hits, walking none. The win is his team-leading sixth of the year and lowered his ERA to 2.63. Tennessee’s offense gave Chen a little breathing room early on. With one out in the second, Josh Vitters singled to center to bring home Blake Lalli and give the Smokies a 1-0 lead. Following a Huntsville run in the fourth to tie the game at one, Tennessee’s Brandon Guyer answered in the fifth for the Smokies with a two-run, 394-foot shot to left-center. Both he and Tony Thomas crossed home to put the Smokies back up 3-1. Vitters and Lalli teamed up again in the sixth, as Vitters’ single with two outs brought Lalli home from third to give the Smokies a 4-1 lead. Chen gave way to the bullpen after the seventh. Alex Maestri came on in and held Huntsville scoreless. However in the ninth, Huntsville made things interesting against reliever Ryan

The Mountain Press ◆ Friday, June 11, 2010 senior year.” Foster credits God, his parents, coaches and hard work for getting what’s believed to be the first Division 1 full scholarship for a Sevier County High School male athlete, according to school officials. “God has definitely helped me get to where I am now, he’s been with me every step of the way,” Foster said. “I was constantly praying while I was in Murfreesboro for him to get me to the next level. And my parents and my coaches are always pushing me hard, getting me ready for the next meet.” It currently up in the air which events Foster will compete in at ETSU, though Brewer believes he’ll likely run in the 400 hurdles and possible some relay events such as the 4x400. “I think they’re expecting a lot out of me just because I’m the state champion,” Foster said. “Going from the 300 hurdles to 400 hurdles — with them raising height and running 100 extra meters is a big difference — so I’m going to have to train at that, but I think they know that I can step up and do it. They do already have a couple of really good hurdlers, but they know I can fill the spots as people graduate.” The son of Denny and Jill Foster, Jeremiah plans to pursue a career in the physical therapy field.

track and now he’s going to get it.” Brewer also said that the Buccaneers will be pleased with Foster on several levels. “I don’t think they’ll be disappointed at all in the person and the athlete that they’re getting in Jeremiah Foster,” Brewer said. “He brings so much to the table not only in his work ethic and his ability but the kind of person that he is and the character that he brings to their team.” The school record holder in four track events — 110 hurdles (15.10), the 300 hurdles (38.57), the 4x100 relay (42.90) and the shuttle hurdle relay (1:09.85) — Foster is also a state record holder in his second sport, football. This past season during the Bears’ 10-0 run through the IMAC season, Foster returned a fumble 105 yards for a touchdown against Cocke County. “(This year) was kind of overwhelming, I had never had such success, as far as individual achievements,” Foster said. “Of course the football team was 10-0, which made the year even better, but (the state championship and scholarship offer) just topped it off and was a great way to end my

dent Myles Brand, but the NCAA reportedly regained interest in the punishment over the past year. USC has long been known for its lenient admission policy at football practice, which during Carroll’s tenure was open to almost anybody who wanted to watch. No longer: The NCAA also prohibited all non-university personnel, except media and a few others, from attending practices and camps or even standing on the sidelines during games. While coming down hard on the football team, the NCAA largely accepted the terms of USC’s self-imposed punishment on its men’s basketball team. USC banned itself from postseason play last season, stripped one scholarship for last season and the upcoming season, and reduced its recruiting abilities over the next year. The Trojans also vacated their 21 victories during the 2007-08 season under former coach Tim Floyd, who was accused of giving cash to a middleman who helped steer Mayo to USC. “Elite athletes in high profile sports with obvious great future earnings potential may see themselves as something apart from other student-athletes and the general student population,” the NCAA report said. “Institutions need to assure that their treatment on campus does not feed into such a perception.”

Cannon — who is the son of former Pigeon Forge Tigers coach Larry Cannon — was the sixth of nine total Virginia players selected in this year’s MLB draft, and he was the sixth and final player chosen from the team on the draft’s first day. In ‘09, Cannon was picked on Day 3 of the draft by Pittsburgh, but he most likely fell that far because he had made it clear to MLB clubs his intentions were to stay at Virginia for his senior season, regardless if the team won the CWS in that year or not.

WORLD CUP SOCCER

US vs England in soccer’s moment in America By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer IRENE, South Africa — The bars are stocked across America, and the pubs are getting ready in England. A 70 1/2-foot billboard of Clint Dempsey stands near Penn Station in Manhattan, and there’s even a large poster of Landon Donovan in a store along Piccadilly Circus. American soccer has never been more popular in the United States or its players more well-known across the world. And on Saturday comes the first competitive match between the U.S. and England since the great American upset at the 1950 World Cup. For one afternoon, millions will be watching from California to New York island. Like never before in the United States, this is the sport’s moment. “I don’t know what’s going to be better, at the bar with my friends back home watching it, or actually playing it, because it’s going to be special,� goalkeeper Tim Howard said Thursday. On the first cloudy day since the U.S. team started workouts June 1, the Americans practiced in Pretoria. Then their redwhite-and-blue bus with “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!� on the side made the twohour drive to Rustenburg, where the big game will be played. Thousands of tickets in refurbished 38,646capacity Royal Bafokeng Stadium were purchased back in the United States for the match at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range in the North West Province. Stevan Galich, a fan from Chicago, organized transportation for 350 American fans from Sandton, a north Johannesburg suburb, to Rustenburg on Saturday. His party plans to meet outside the stadium with Sam’s Army and the American Outlaws, two supporters’ groups. They hope to offset the roar from English fans who usually travel with their team in large numbers. Donald Gips, the U.S. ambassador to South Africa, said Sunday that FIFA estimated 132,000 tickets for the 64-game tournament were bought in the United States, the most in any nation outside the host. “Certainly the water cooler talk, if I can use that expression, is greater than anything I’ve seen around the World Cup, around the U.S. being in it, and certainly around the U.S.England game for sure,� U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati said. “The amount of time we’re getting on ESPN. The cover of SI. The cover of ESPN The Magazine. The cover of Time Magazine. Anybody remember when that last happened for soc-

U.S. national soccer midfielder Landon Donovan holds up his fist during training at Pilditch Stadium in Pretoria, South Africa on Thursday. The U.S. team is preparing for the upcoming World Cup, where it will play in Group C. cer?� The Irish Pub, a few blocks from Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, is packed many weekend mornings for English Premier League games. Last month, it doubled in size in preparation for the World Cup. Youth soccer teams are planning to meet to watch together, and several Major League Soccer stadiums will open for viewing parties. Adidas, Nike and Puma have been busy selling World Cup gear. More than 55,000 fans went to Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field for the U.S. team’s sendoff game on May 29. Interest ratcheted up last June when the Americans upset Spain in the semifinals of the Confederations Cup, a World Cup warmup tournament in South

Africa. The Americans ended the European champion’s streaks of 15 wins and 35 unbeaten games. The December draw boosted it even more when the United States was matched up with England to get things started. It’s far different from 1990, when the U.S. team returned to the World Cup for the first time in 40 years and few American fans made the trek to Italy. There wasn’t much to root for, with the U.S. losing three straight games. “We thought we knew what the World Cup was. And you know what? Reality slapped us right in the face,� said Marcelo Balboa, a defender on that U.S. team who is covering this tournament for the radio network Futbol de Primera. “Soccer has just grown so much.

where we’re at now, and look at where we stood in ’90?� And with growth comes responsibility. When the U.S. went 0-3 at the 1998 World Cup in France and finished last in the 32-nation field, the blowout created turmoil in the American soccer community. But it hardly got a rise out of most U.S. sports fans. Following a run to the quarterfinals at the 2002 World Cup, where the U.S. opened with a 3-2 upset of Portugal and beat Mexico 2-0 in the second round, there were great expectations for the 2006 tournament. But the team had

another 0-3 flop. Reaching the final eight was the best finish for the United States since it advanced to the semifinals of the first World Cup in 1930. Playing England, with Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Frank

Lampard and John Terry, is a chance for American players to measure themselves against some of the best and most celebrated players. Eight of the 23 players on the U.S. roster were with English clubs last season, so the teams know each other well. And the supporters have a fairly good knowledge, too. That’s why this match has captured public imagination on both sides of the Atlantic. “I think the cultures are similar, which is probably the biggest reason why,� said American forward Jozy Altidore, who spent last season at Hull. While the U.S. is 2-7 in head-to-head-matchups, eight of those were exhibitions. The only one that really counted was the meeting in the 1950 World Cup, won famously 1-0 on Joe Gaetjens’ goal in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. That’s considered one of the great upsets in sports history. So from Rustenburg to Raleigh to Rotherham, eyes will be focused on the match. “I know the people back home are just, they’re going to be kicking every ball. I’ve heard so many stories from family members and friends,� Howard said. “I think our country is going to stop, man. I really do. I think everyone is going to stop and be watching, have one eye on the result. And it’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also pretty cool to see how far we’ve come.�

Jimmie Johnson wins charity race ROSSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Jimmie Johnson led from start to finish to win Tony Stewart’s dirt track charity race Wednesday. Johnson, the fourtime defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, survived 14 cautions with Kyle Bush on his bumper for each restart to win the sixth running of the Prelude to a Dream on Eldora Speedway’s half-mile oval owned by Stewart. Busch finally lost track position on the final restart with two laps left and finished fourth. Clint Bowyer, who had the fastest qualifying time, finished second, and Carl Edwards was third after starting 17th. Twenty-seven drivers, including 18 from the Sprint Cup series, competed in late-model stock cars in the 30-lap event that benefited four children’s hospitals. Stewart started from the back, but his track knowledge and dirt-track experience helped him finish sixth. Stewart elected to start from the back because of bonus money that would have gone to the hospital designated for the winner. “If we could’ve got some more laps I think

down at the end. I accomplished my minimum goal, but like every racer you want to be more competitive.� Stewart wanted more competition throughout the field, so he added a team competition this year. Busch captained the winning team and won 45 percent of the proceeds for Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, N.C. The other hospitals benefiting from the race are Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, Cincinnati Children’s and St. Jude’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. The race fell four days before Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway, but that didn’t matter to the 18 Sprint Cup drivers in the field. Seven of them are in the top 12 in the race to be in the Chase for the Championship. Edwards, who is ninth in the points, won this race in 2007 and was thrilled to be back. “The coolest thing about this race is that everybody knows it’s for fun,� Edwards said before the race. “A lot of times in racing there is so much pressure. This one is just fun.�

In a photo provided by Ron Laymon, Jimmie Johnson drives during the Prelude to the Dream charity auto race Wednesday at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The track is owned by NASCAR driver Tony Stewart. we could’ve got a little bit further,� Stewart said. “It seemed like our car got better as we went. The last restart we got to see those guys up there and it looked like a heck of a race. I wanted to be right in the middle of it.� Stewart’s goal for this race beyond raising

money for charities is for the drivers to have fun. He said he likes how the event has grown with the largest and most diverse field he has had. “It makes me feel good as the guy that invites them when you know they’re having a good time like that,� Stewart said.

Travis Pastrana ran out of gas on the last straightaway and lost a few spots to finish 19th, but he had as much fun as anyone. Most of the drivers left quickly after the race, but Pastrana stayed in the pits talking and signing autographs. His racing background is motocross, so

he said he was just hoping not to embarrass himself. “This was an absolute blast,� Pastrana said. “I didn’t have any expectations because I didn’t have any idea what to expect. My biggest thing was I was hoping I wasn’t going to be knocking into everybody and be five laps

NHL HOCKEY

Flyers title chase at 35 years, and counting By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — In the end, the Flyers were more stunned than saddened. They expected a Game 7. Now, it’s over. In a season in which they seemingly mastered the art of the comeback, the Philadelphia Flyers are dealing with falling one rally short. The Chicago Blackhawks put a sudden end to the Flyers’ unlikely playoff run Wednesday in overtime of Game 6 for their first Stanley Cup title since 1961. Make it 35 years and counting for the Flyers in their pursuit of a third championship. The Flyers’ stirring postseason run started weeks ago, on the last day of the regular season, when a shootout win secured the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. They became the third team in NHL history to win a series after losing the first three games, eliminating Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Philadelphia rallied to even the Stanley Cup finals at 2-all after losing the first two games at Chicago. The Blackhawks ended the Flyers’ run with a 4-3 win in Game 6. “We just believed it was the way it was supposed to go,� Flyers forward Danny Briere said. “We just thought

we were meant to go back to Chicago.� The silver trophy did make the trip to Chicago — where it will be the star of the Blackhawks’ championship parade on Friday. The Flyers are left to ponder this summer how they let hockey’s ultimate prize slip away for another year. Scott Hartnell scored Philadelphia’s final goal of the season late in the third period to tie Game 6 at 3-all. It was the latest clutch postseason goal in two months of can-you-top-this scoring for the Flyers. The goal set off a wild celebration at the Wachovia Center, and fans of the orange and black began to look forward to their team delivering its 10th home win of the playoffs.

Then came chaos in OT. Chicago’s Patrick Kane scored on an offbeat angle against goaltender Michael Leighton to win the game. Kane was the only player who saw the puck lodged under the net pad, so he zipped away in triumph. Nobody else on the ice had any idea what was going on. The Blackhawks figured if Kane had shed his stick and gloves and was storming the other way toward the open arms of goaltender Antti Niemi, the winning goal had to count. The Blackhawks bolted over the boards and mobbed Kane in the corner. After a brief review, there was no dispute that the Blackhawks were the NHL champs.

Briere was waiting for a whistle to stop play. “I was like, no, that can’t be it,� he said. “You can’t win the Stanley Cup on not even being sure if you won it or not. I can’t believe they’d win a Stanley Cup this way. It doesn’t change how much it hurts.�

Mary Hamilton of Frankfurt, Ky., tells stories about her family as a way to show the importance of sharing stories to save a family’s heritage and teach lessons to children. Hamilton is one of the guest speakers at this year’s Smoky Mountains Storytelling Festival at the Grand Majestic Theater and Spirit of the Smokies Condos Lodge in Pigeon Forge.

Saving family history Storytelling workshop shares importance of keeping stories around for future generations By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor PIGEON FORGE — Mary Hamilton began her workshop on “Parents as Storytellers” with a disclaimer. “I am not a parent, have never been a parent and never will be a parent,” she said. That would only change if something unfortunate happens to one her brothers still raising small children, and he picks her from the six siblings to raise them. “But I was a child,” she said, and her families often told stories, mostly documenting the mistakes they have made over the years. Some stories are recounted when someone new is introduced to the family. Other stories are told more rarely, like the one she only just heard this year at a family reunion — a cousin told how her great-grandmother confused the occupation of her daughter’s fiance when the daughter called to give them the news back in the 1940s after World War II. The telephone lines back then were not very good, Hamilton said. The phone was one of those crank types where the number of times the phone rang signaled who the call was for. “And actually there wasn’t a lot of entertainment, so a lot of people picked up no matter who the call was for and would listen in,” Hamilton said. “So my aunt Mary Helen called home from Washington, D.C., to tell her parents that she was going to get married. And of course her parents asked what a lot of parents asked: What does he do?

And she told what he did. “And my great-grandmother heard, he’s an electrical engineer. Doesn’t that sound fabulous? And so my great-grandma proceeds to tell all her friends that Mary Helen’s getting married, and she is marrying this fella, his name is Charles Farrara. She says he’s Italian and he’s an electrical engineer. “And even her friends who had been listening in on the phone conversation

agreed that he was indeed an electrical engineer. And then she brought him home and they got to have a face-toface conversation. And it turns out that aunt Mary Helen was marrying Charles Farrara and he and his brother in the Washington, D.C. area had a family business in which they sold liquor and beer. “I had never, ever heard about that,” she said. “Electrical engineer versus liquor and beer, until our whole family got together. And my father said, ‘You mean you never heard about this?’ It’s amazing how family stories can disappear if they don’t get told. “So one of the things I’d like to encourage you, whatever shape your family takes … to get the stories out there, to get the stories told so that they can hear them. In my family I don’t think we tell them often enough, and often their stories are a little bit buried in a bit of code, if you will.” For example, Hamilton explained how a young niece began to pout when she was handed a sandwich. “Somebody said, ‘She’s like Sammy.’ The sandwich got handed back. The crust got removed from the sandwich. The child was handed the sandwich and she was fine. “Now, she’s like Sammy, how does that mean remove the crust from the sandwich?” Hamilton said. “The only reason she’s like Sammy means remove the crust from the sandwich is because of the story, and that the story had been told enough that our family could make sense out of it.” Sammy, Hamilton said, was one of her father’s younger brothers who, when he started school in the first grade, was sent with a lunch box filled with two sandwiches made from double-loaf size bread, two times as wide as the singleloaf size we are used to today. The sandwiches each were made with one piece of double-loaf bread, spread with some type of filling and folded in half. When the bakery began making single-loaf bread, See Story, Page B4

Good communication requires good effort

tion: One day my boss asked me to submit a detailed status report to him concerning a project I was working on. I asked him if tomorrow would be soon enough. He said, “If I wanted it tomorrow, I would have waited until tomorrow to ask for it!” (8) From a meeting: This project is so important that we can’t let things that are more important interfere with it. Of course, there is miscommunication in every area of life. In politics, there is the infamous line attributed to Dan Quayle: “I believe we are on an irreversible trend, but that could change.” And, in the world of computers and other technology, miscommunications have become legendary — such as a Dell tech support person telling a customer to put the disk in the drive and close the door. The customer told the technician to hold on and was then heard putting the phone down, getting up from his chair, crossing the room and closing the door. I ran across a couple of quotes attributed to various sources that would be good to keep in mind during Effective Communication Month — and beyond. The first is, “Nothing is so simple that it cannot be misunderstood.” The second is, “Communication works for those who work at it.” © 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www. MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, “A Strategy For Winning.” E-mail to carlmays@carlmays.com, call 436-7478 or visit www.carlmays. com.

In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints. Tennessee uses a 44-item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Inspections since June 2:

I received quite a bit of response to last week’s column in which I wrote that June is Effective Communication Month and spotlighted the George Bernard Shaw quote: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” From among the church bulletin bloopers I shared in the column, the one that apparently touched the most tickle bones was, “Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church and community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say ‘Hell’ to someone who doesn’t care much about you.” A close second was, “This evening at 7:00 there will be a hymn singing in the park across from the church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.” In continued observance of Effective Communication Month, I turn to alleged examples of poor communication in the corporate world. I say “alleged” because even though I have searched extensively I haven’t found definite proof the following appeared in the San Jose Mercury News or in any magazine as several people e-mailed me it had. Whether these miscommunications actually occurred or are simply urban legends, I am sure they are not too far from the truth in a society in which 90 percent of all problems in an organization is a direct result of poor communication. It is reported that a “Dilbert Quotes” contest was run several years ago. The comic strip’s creator, Scott Adams, said he is aware of people distributing the report, but never saw the original source. Supposedly, here are some of the submissions from people regarding miscommunications from their real-life Dilbert-type leaders: (1) Memo: As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday and employees will receive their cards in two weeks. (2) From a meeting: What I need is a list of specific unknown problems we will encounter. (3) Memo: E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be used only for company business. (4) From a meeting: Teamwork is everybody doing what I say. (5) Memo: We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with employees. (6) Memo: This is to inform you that a memo will be issued today regarding the subject mentioned above. (7) From a conversa-

After nine years, man still not fully committed to relationship

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am 60 and have been in a relationship with “James” for nine years. He is 76 and a kind man. When we met, his wife had died six weeks earlier. I had been widowed for four years. We live together in my home. I never go to his. James never treats me as a wife because we are not married. My children are OK with our relationship. His children, however, have a hard time accepting me. Only one of his daughters treats me nicely. When I met James, he felt like a lifesaver. We’ve had great times together, but when it comes to his kids, I’m always left out. We also have no sex life. What do you suggest I do? I don’t want to be fighting all the time, yet I don’t want to be alone. It’s also very hard to find a good man. — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: If James began seeing you six weeks after his wife died, we can understand why his children might have had a hard time accepting you. And the fact that after nine years he doesn’t treat you as a lifetime partner indicates he still is not fully committed to you. His children can see that and use it to drive a wedge. If James doesn’t insist that they show you more respect, nothing will change. One of the major mistakes a woman can make is believing her life is only worthwhile if there is a man in it. Don’t be so afraid to be alone that you remain in a relationship that doesn’t make you happy. Dear Annie: I’m the mother of a beautiful 9-year-old daughter who has autism. “Shawna”

doesn’t speak or use the bathroom, but she is a very active child. My husband and I don’t have any friends or family who are supportive, because they don’t understand Shawna’s behavior (shrieking, grabbing food, hitting others and running away). When we are at family gatherings, they treat her like a problem child and act annoyed at us for her “bad” behavior. I want to let people know it makes the parents feel very lonely and isolated. Taking care of a child with autism or any other disability is hard work. Please be more understanding and supportive. Let them know you are there for them. — V.W. Dear V.W.: Autistic children are a tremendous challenge for the parents and are exceedingly difficult for relatives and friends who aren’t as emotionally invested. You cannot expect them to understand if they haven’t been educated. Please contact the Autism Society of America (autism-society.org), 4340 East-West Hwy., Suite 350, Bethesda, MD 20814, for support and help. Good luck. Dear Annie: “It’s Cold in Maine” was upset with her granddaughter’s language on Facebook. One would think a 21-year-old college student would be interested in projecting a more

professional attitude on a Facebook page that might be seen by future employers. There will always be someone who will pull photos and comments out of cyberspace and often at the most inopportune time, ruining that job or promotion they worked so hard for. Skeletons have a way of falling out the closet. We grew up in a different time. Most parents want their children to be brighter, smarter and better educated than they were, simply because it will take that much more knowledge and money to support them through life in the manner they would like. I’d like to share some great wisdom that my mother gave me: 1. I cannot stand between you and what will hurt you as you travel through life. 2. Think twice before you speak. 3. Never put anything in writing that will come back to haunt you. 4. Fools’ names and fools’ faces are often seen in public places. — Chicago Dear Chicago: Excellent advice for everyone. Thank you.
