‘Army’ wants salvation for babies

Local ministry hopes to help needy parents with basic supplies

SEVIERVILLE — Local Salvation Army staffers and supporters are hoping they’ll soon be able to help some Sevier County babies who are falling through the cracks of other safety net programs.

Lt. Justin Caldwell has been preaching for months about the

issues some new parents “We have people who face as they work to find come in all the time askthe assistance they need ing for that kind of help to care for their babies. and we have to refer them He says it’s the fairly regto other groups, but even ular visits his office gets they can’t really meet particularly from moththose needs,” Caldwell ers worrying about how explains. “There’s really they’ll feed their infant or just not a whole lot of provide for its other basic needs help for babies and parents of that prompted the concern for babies.” the struggling families.

Much of what help does come

is in the form of federal assistance. Provided they fall under the qualifications, those new mothers can apply for help from the Women-Infants-Children (WIC) Program, which provides vouchers for things like food and formula. Even that effort has its shortcomings, though.

Fifteen-month-old Blake Clinton, on his first trip to the local swimming hole on Maples Branch Road, tires of his toys and decides to strike out and explore. With temperatures hovering around 90 degrees on the first day of summer Monday, many were taking to the water.

Summer officially arrived at 7:28 a.m. on Monday, and the weather gods had the thermostat set on high with no immediate plans to turn it down.

Temperatures climbed into the mid-90s across eastern Tennessee — a high of 95 was recorded at Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport. That’s about 10 degrees higher than the norm, said Derek Eisentrout, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Morristown.

“The outlook is continued hot for the short-term, with temperatures in the 90s for at least another week,” he said. “That’s because there is a high pressure system over the Southeast, which is not uncommon for summertime.

“Long-term through July, August and September we have above average chances for above average temperatures for the summer, although I can’t give you specific numbers.”

Eisentrout said that while “normal” temperatures for the area are mid-80s for the high to around 70 for the low, very few days would actually fall exactly in that range.

“When you talk about normal for temperatures and precipitation, that’s a 30-year average,” he said. “You’re going to have some days where the temperature is in the lower to mid-90s, and you’re going to have some where it is 78 or 79.

“That being said, you’re really not going to have that many days in the mid-80s.”

Last year, forecasters said that above-average rainfall was a harbinger for a wet winter and the possibility of a lot of snow. That proved true, with many locals saying it was the snowiest winter in 20 years.

So far this year, only 19.85 inches have been recorded at McGhee Tyson, compared to 27.44 a year ago and a norm of 25.19. But Eisentrout said it is too early to draw any conclusions for the coming winter.

Board OKs budgets for schools in Gatlinburg

Former Pitner School students turn out in force for reunion

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — For most graduating classes getting anywhere close to having almost everyone at a 50-year reunion would be a serious challenge, so it’s certainly impressive to think that kind of gathering Saturday for folks who attended Sevier County’s Pitner School brought out most of the surviving students who ever attended the school.

Of course, that’s a mark a lot easier to reach when your school only has one room and its doors only stay open for just over two decades — then, as with the graduates of Pitner School, the entire assemblage likely would fit into one picnic pavilion at Sevierville City Park.

Students who filled the desks at the academy hadn’t gathered since the little log building shut its doors for the last time in 1956.

“It’s funny because we’re kin to everybody and most of us lived within just a few miles of each other all our lives, but we still hadn’t gotten everybody together until now,” said Mary Louise Pitner, a Pitner School alumna who organized the gathering.

“We were all close when we were growing up but we sort of lost touch. My brother and I both moved away and we just kind of got out of the loop. It’s so good to see everybody here again today.”

And a surprising number of folks were there.

They braved a gully-washer thunderstorm, persistent rains and as many as 70 years separation to be

GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg Board of Education approved both Pi Beta Phi Elementary School’s and GatlinburgPittman High School’s 2010-2011 budgets on Monday.

Pi Beta Phi’s $180,963 budget remained the same as last year’s, and GPHS’s budget came to $194,838 with a few changes: The Sevier County Board of Education picked up funding for Latin and Computer salaries, and it also picked up more percentage-wise for Guidance.

“We certainly appreciate both principals for the work they’ve done with the budget,” said Vern Hippensteal, Gatlinburg BOE chairman. “We are also thankful of what Jackie

Junior Rangers use global positioning units to experience an outdoor adventure game known as earthcaching.

Junior Rangers program runs through Aug. 4 at park Submitted Report The Junior Rangers program is under way in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The park is one of 20 national parks kicking off Let’s Move Outside Junior Ranger.

It provides tools and information to parents to make it easy to enjoy the outdoors and be active and healthy.

“Young people inspire us; we want to help them be healthy and curious for life. It starts with family fun. We want to help parents learn the skills they need to enjoy the outdoors with their kids,” National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis said.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is offering children dozens of hands-on activities through Aug. 14. The Junior Ranger Program is free for ages 5-12.

Children can make their own dinner bell in a 19th century blacksmith shop, or create a piece of pottery as Cherokee Indians have

done for thousands of years; or, if discovering the natural work is more appealing, they can wade through a mountain stream to look for salamanders and damselflies; or venture into the dark to explore the creatures of the night.

After completing a series of activities, children are sworn in as Junior Rangers and receive a badge and certificate.

As part of this new initiative, young people who complete one of three designated physical activities will also be identified as first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move Outside stewards. Those fitness activities include hiking a portion of the Appalachian Trail, navigating outdoors with a compass, or participating in Animal Olympics.

Families can pick up a free schedule at any of the three visitor centers or visit www.nps. gov/grsm. At the visitor center, they can also purchase one of four activity booklets geared towards age groups. The $2.50 booklets compliment the Junior Ranger program.

It’s berry-picking season, which means it’s time for canners to jam

age any longer. It is now recommended to process jelly products in a boiling water bath. The boiling water bath process helps eliminate mold spoilage which many home canners have experienced.

Although jam or preserves may be sterilized by cooking in an open kettle, mold spores may contaminate the lid, jar, and air when the mixture is poured into the jar. Thus, jams, jellies and preserves must be processed in a boiling water bath canner for 5 to 10 minutes (start count time once the water returns to a boil).

Q. If my jam or jelly molds, must I throw it out?

A. Yes, you should.

Removing visible mold

does not necessarily remove all you cannot see. Some molds produce mycotoxins, which may be harmful if eaten.

Q. Should jelly be boiled slowly or rapidly?

A. Rapidly. Long, slow boiling will destroy the pectin in the fruit juice, which affects how well it gels.

For some people, the coming of summer means the renewal of a deeply-seated lifelong obsession — the love of berries. That’s right, it’s berry-picking time. And once you’ve had your fill of fresh muffins, pies and cakes — or at least all your waistline can take, freeze some for the winter months or make some fresh jam for the berry lover in your house.

When you are preserving berries, make up only the quantity you will use within a few months. Over time they lose their flavor, bright color and turn darker during storage.

Choose ripe, but firm berries for freezing.

Freezing will only preserve quality, not improve it. Select the best quality fruit at the peak of maturity for freezing. Freeze them before they lose their freshness.

For jellies and jams, pick fruit just at its ripe stage for best natural color and flavor. Use some slightly under-ripe fruit as well as fully ripe fruit (usually ¼ slightly underripe and ¾ fully ripe).

Home canner’s questions Q. I double my recipe for strawberry jam and it would not gel, even though I used exactly twice the recommended ingredients. Why doesn’t a double recipe gel?

A. Soft spreads will not always gel when the recipe has been doubled.

Increasing the size of the recipe is not recommended. Better success is obtained by making two separate batches of a recipe rather than doubling the size.

Q. I have always used paraffin to seal my jelly jars but now I’ve heard that I need to put my jelly through a boiling water bath.

Why? A. In keeping with current research, it is necessary to make changes in the guidelines for canning jelly. Previously, we recommended the open kettle method and the use of paraffin. Neither of these methods is considered safe for long-term stor-

NYC car bomb suspect pleads guilty Calls himself a ‘Muslim soldier’

By TOM HAYS Associated Press Writer NEW YORK — Calling himself a “Muslim soldier,� a defiant Pakistan-born U.S. citizen pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out the failed Times Square car bombing, saying his attack was the answer to “the U.S. terrorizing ... Muslim people.�

Wearing a white skull cap, Faisal Shahzad entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan just days after a federal grand jury indicted him on 10 terrorism and weapons

SUMMER

counts, some of which carried mandatory life prison sentences. He pleaded guilty to them all. “One has to understand where I’m coming from,�

Shahzad calmly told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, who challenged him repeatedly with questions such as whether he worried about killing children in Times Square. “I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier.�

The 30-year-old described his effort to set off a bomb in an SUV he parked in Times Square on May 1, saying he chose the warm Saturday night because it would be crowded with people who he could injure or kill.

He revealed that he actu-

ally packed his vehicle with three separate bombs, hoping to set off a fertilizerfueled bomb packed in a gun cabinet, a set of propane tanks and gas canisters rigged with fireworks to explode into a fireball.

Shahzad said he expected the bombs to begin going off after he lighted a fuse and waited between 2 1/2 minutes and five minutes for them to erupt. “I was waiting to hear a sound but I didn’t hear a sound. So I walked to Grand Central and went home,� he said.

Shahzad dismissed the judge’s question about the children by saying the U.S. didn’t care when children were killed in Muslim countries.

“It’s a war. I am part of the answer to the U.S. terrorizing the Muslim nations and the Muslim people,� he said. “On behalf of that, I’m revenging the attack.

Living in the United States, Americans only care about their people but they don’t care about the people elsewhere in the world when they die.�

Shahzad made the plea and an accompanying statement as Cedarbaum began asking him a lengthy series of questions to ensure he understood his rights.

Cedarbaum asked Shahzad if he understood some charges carried mandatory life sentences and that he might spend the rest of his life in prison.

He said he did.

As folks continue to swelter in the heat, they can take heart in knowing that it could be worse. The record temperature for June 21, Eisentrout said, is several degrees higher at 99 — and the record for the summer is the 104 that occurred (in Knoxville) on July 12, 1930.

A spokeswoman for the Knoxville Utilities Board

suggested residents keep curtains and blinds closed during the hottest time of day, making sure the air conditioning is properly maintained to avoid a breakdown, and raising the thermostat when the house is empty.

For those who don’t have air conditioning or access to a swimming pool, Eisentrout said there is an

alternative way to beat the heat. “Yesterday, the high was 77 at Newfound Gap and at Mount LeConte it was 71, which is somewhere between 6,500 and 6,600 (feet above sea level),� he said. “So, you can stay cooler — you just have to hike five miles.�

Of course, the spritely Ownby rarely actually had to warm up the wood, with the mere threat of a whipping enough to put most kids back on the straight and narrow.

While modern teachers might have a harder time with discipline given the threat of what Ownby considers real punishment has been taken away, she’s certain there was more of a challenge to actually teaching when your lessons had to cover everything from middlegrades social studies to writing lessons for those barely able to hold a pencil. “You just had to use your brain,� is how Ownby summed it up.

On a small table under the picnic shelter where the gathering was held sat the album and some relics of the past — a coin bank shaped like a globe, a ball and jacks, and a mason jar filled with multicolored marbles that sparkled dimly in the cloudy afternoon light.

As former schoolmates separated by the years reminisced about the collection of memories from their childhood, several of the men reached into their pockets, producing some of their prize marbles that they held onto through the years. One admitted he carried a few from his schoolboy days to Vietnam when he was sent there on Uncle Sam’s errand, while another told of jealously protecting his aggie shooters. “It’s proof we haven’t lost our marbles after all these years,� Gibson said of the pocketed collections, eliciting guffaws from the assembly.

Dallas police chief’s son suspected of killing cop LANCASTER, Texas (AP) — Investigators said Monday they believe the 27-year-old son of Dallas Police Chief David Brown shot and killed a man at a suburban apartment complex and then opened fire on responding officers, killing one, before being shot to death.

Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez said investigators were still sorting out details, but it appeared David Brown Jr. shot Jeremy McMillan, 23, on Sunday evening and opened fire on Officer Craig Shaw and others when they responded.

Shaw, 37, was killed, the first officer to die in the line of duty in Lancaster, a city of 35,000 about 15 miles south of Dallas.

Brown died after other officers returned fire.

“This is a difficult time for all of us in law enforcement,” Valdez said.

She would not discuss how Brown and McMillan knew one another or what the motive for the shooting might have been.

Investigators found several weapons in Brown’s home and car, she said.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown declined comment Monday through spokeswoman Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther. On Sunday, his department had issued a statement saying he was mourning both deaths.

Lancaster Police Chief Keith Humphrey said Shaw’s death was devastating.

“This community has lost a good officer, and we want you to understand we are heartbroken,” said Humphrey, who added that Shaw was married with a 13-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son.

staffing that it’s impossible for women to make immediate appointments to sign up for WIC. There is a mandate that requires new callers be given an appointment no more than 10 days for pregnant women and infants or 20 days for older children up to 5 after they make contact with the WIC office. Unfortunately, worst case scenarios can lead to appointments that cut it close on those deadlines, leaving women struggling anywhere from more than a week to almost three.

“It depends on the availability of our scheduling,” WIC East Tennessee Director JoAnne Kirkland concedes.

“If we have time that week we’ll see them that week, but that’s just not always possible. We do meet the processing standards set forth by that mandate.”

Kirkland says everyone with the program works as hard as they can to get help to those who need it as fast as they can, even logging 12-hour days at times to fill all the appointments.

Still, she understands how the gaps could cause issues for those seeking help from WIC. “I can certainly see the need for some kind of help in addition,” she says.

That’s not the end of the struggles women who find themselves relying on WIC to care for their children will likely face.

“We’re not a full-feeding program,” Kirkland says.

“We’re a supplemental feeding program. What we can provide is not meant to be the only source of nutrition.”

Rules handed down by federal officials limit the amount of formula the agency can give out for any one child to just 10 cans per month, a number that decreases as the infant ages. It’s instances such as that where Kirkland and Caldwell both see the most need for a program like the baby pantry Caldwell is proposing.

“We were just trying to find out what the need locally is and this is what we heard, through talking with the folks at WIC and people like (Smoky Mountain Area

Rescue Ministries Executive Director) Dick Wellons,” Caldwell explains. “I think everyone who works in this area can tell you that this is a definite need in Sevier County.”

Beyond just the food, Kirkland points out WIC doesn’t supply anything else that might be important in caring for an infant, from diapers to clothes. That means, outside of offerings from a few local churches and agencies that have very limited supplies, there isn’t much help for struggling parents to take care of some of the most expensive parts of raising a baby. Caldwell hopes the Army can change that, too.

“Our vision is to be able to provide baby food, formula, diapers — just the supplies you need when you have a baby to help fill in those gaps with WIC,” Caldwell said.

The dream may have stayed just that had it not been for a promising Christmas fundraising season, with local folks pitching more into the group’s trademark red kettles than was expected. That combined with encouraging numbers so far this year have bolstered the idea and allowed a very real possibility for it becoming reality.

Cost for safety, peace of mind

Sexual predator treatment putting the squeeze on state budgets

By MARTIGA LOHN Associated Press Writer MOOSE LAKE, Minn.

— Keeping sex offenders locked up in treatment after they finish their prison sentences emerged as a popular get-tough tactic in the 1990s, when states were flush with cash. But the costs have soared far beyond what anyone envisioned.

An Associated Press analysis found that the 20 states with so-called “civil commitment” programs will spend nearly $500 million this year alone to confine and treat 5,200 offenders still considered too dangerous to put back on the streets.

The annual costs per offender topped out at $175,000 in New York and $173,000 in California, and averaged $96,000 a year, about double what it would cost to send them to an Ivy League university. In some states, like Minnesota, sex offender treatment costs more than five times more than keeping offenders in prison. And those estimates do not include the considerable legal expenses necessary to commit someone.

The programs have created a political quandary for lawmakers who desperately need to cut spending in the midst of a recession but don’t want to be seen as soft on rapists and child molesters.

“I’ve heard people in a lot of the states quietly say, ’Oh, my God, I wish we’d never gotten this law,”’ said W. Lawrence Fitch, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Law. “No one would ever dare “We’re doing OK these days,” Caldwell says. “People ask me why that is and I’m not sure. The only thing I can think is that people trust the Salvation Army.

They know the money is going to go where it needs to go. They know it’s not going to a lot of overhead.”

The national Christian ministry is consistently rated tops among nonprofits for how much of its money goes to those in need, with the man in charge of the whole operation receiving no more pay than a regular corps officer such as Caldwell with comparable experience.

Caldwell is hoping to build on that generosity if the program does get going. He’s looking for places where the Salvation Army could set up collection sites for the items to

offer repeal because it’s just untenable.”

The laws target sex offenders who are considered likely to strike again.

When one of them is close to finishing a prison sentence, prosecutors file a civil case to prove that person still threatens the public and needs treatment. If the court agrees, the prisoner is committed in much the same way that someone with a serious mental illness would be sent to an institution.

The heavy financial burden of treating confined sex offenders has left lawmakers with less money as they make agonizing cuts to areas like education and health care. Politicians who spent years cracking down on sex crimes now struggle to pay for their tougher laws.

“It’s easy to say, ’Lock everybody up and throw away the key,”’ said state Rep. Michael Paymar, a St. Paul Democrat who heads a public safety budget panel.

“But it’s just not practical.”

The laws have withstood legal challenges all the way to the Supreme Court.

They are considered constitutional as long as their purpose is treatment, not detention. But living up to that standard can cost far more than traditional prison. And the costs persist for years because most inmates will never be released.

The programs have given rise to new and bigger treatment centers: California opened a 1,500-bed facility for sexual predators in 2005. Minnesota opened a 400-bed building last year and plans another expansion at Moose Lake, 110 stock the pantry, hopeful local retailers and others might open their doors to the effort.

Of course, that won’t mean anything if people aren’t willing to give, though Caldwell isn’t worried about that.

“This is such a great, caring community and I know they’ll step up for these babies,” he says. “I really believe if we do this right, I have no doubt we’re not going to have enough space to hold everything the people of this area will give.”

For now the dream remains just that, though it seems to be growing legs.

miles north of the Twin Cities.

The Moose Lake complex, located just off the highway leading to this woodsy Minnesota town, looks like a medium-security prison, with layers of secure doors and guards monitoring cell blocks of patients.

More than 400 men live there behind tall fences topped with razor wire.

They spend their days shuffling between meals, group therapy sessions and activities such as painting state park signs.

The confinement is costly mainly because of the need to hire behavioral therapists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists.

For every 25 to 50 offenders, there is a fiveto six-member treatment team. Parts of the facility resemble a community college campus, with chairs arranged around the edges of rooms for group therapy sessions. There is a separate unit for about 8 percent of the sex offenders who refuse to participate in treatment, and another one for aging clients, some of whom use wheelchairs and walkers.

“They had no idea 10 years ago, seven years ago, what this program was going to cost,” said Dennis Benson, a former prison warden who now oversees Minnesota’s civilly committed sex offenders.

Minnesota already spends $65 million a year to house and treat sex offenders.

State lawmakers usually don’t complain about the costs, but they balked when Gov. Tim Pawlenty asked to borrow $90 million to

complete the expansion of the Moose Lake facility.

They eventually gave him slightly more than half that amount, despite a growing deficit of $1 billion.

“We have to cut something else to pay for it,” said Sen. Linda Berglin, a Minneapolis Democrat who supervises the budget for civil-commitment cases as head of a health and welfare spending panel.

In most states, the number of confined sex offenders has steadily increased, requiring ever-greater spending.

Iowa spends nearly $7 million to confine 80 offenders, almost double 2005’s $3.6 million budget for 48 patients. Virginia’s program has swelled from 45 patients five years ago to more than 200 this year, with annual costs climbing from $10 million to almost $16 million.

Some states have steered clear of the civil-commitment system, partly because of financial reasons. In Louisiana, legislation died last year after top lawmakers questioned the cost and constitutional issues. Vermont legislators rejected a similar proposal.

Bredesen mulling line-item vetoes

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE— Gov. Phil Bredesen said Monday he is reviewing the final version of the $30 billion annual spending plan passed by the lawmakers to see if will exercise his line-item veto.

The Democratic governor told reporters that he has specific concerns over the Legislature’s decision to keep open the Green Valley Developmental Center in Greenville and the Whiteville Correctional Facility in Hardeman

County.

Keeping the two facilities open through July 2011 would cost the state about $22 million.

“In both those cases they represent jobs in those communities and I’m obviously very sensitive to that,” Bredesen said. “But I think I owe the taxpayers more than just spending their money in a place where it’s not really justified.”

About 200 people work at the Green Valley facility, while the private Whiteville prison run by Nashville-based Corrections

Bredesen called the Legislature’s decision to overrule him on closing the two facilities “a case of everybody wants to run government like a business until you actually run government like a business.”

“We didn’t propose to do anything different than any business is going to have to do to survive in these times,” he said.

Bredesen, who leaves office in January, said he is generally satisfied with the budget plan, though law-

Death sentence for ’02 slaying

A jury in northeastern Tennessee sentenced Howard Hawk Willis to death Monday after convicting him of first-degree murder in the dismemberment killing of a newlywed teenage Georgia couple eight years ago.

Jurors began deliberating Saturday, took Sunday off and convicted him early Monday afternoon, then sentenced him less than two hours later. The trial began last Monday.

The six-man, six-woman jury found Willis guilty in the killing of 17-yearold Adam Chrismer and 16-year-old Samantha Leming Chrismer of Chickamauga, Ga. The boy’s head was found in Boone Lake in October 2002 and his severed hands were found nearby.

The bodies of both teens were found in a rented storage unit in Johnson City.

“There’s a number of other minor items, we’ll go through it,” he said. “In general, I’ve been pretty easy about making my desires known during the process, and not coming in at the end with a bunch of new things once the budget has been passed.”

commentary

Prop 8 trial should never have occurred

Last week, the Proposition 8 trial drew to a close.

This is the trial that never should have been, by a judge who has systematically telegraphed his sympathy for one side.

The lawyer for the plaintiffs is Ted Olson, once a GOP advocate for judicial restraint. Yet last week, he was pleading with the judge to nullify the votes of 7 million Californians — and, by extension, the votes of millions of Americans in other states who have exercised their right to vote for marriage as the union of husband and wife.

Perry v.

Schwarzenegger is not a case about California law. This is the case that will decide the future of marriage for the entire country.

When I entered this debate in 2003, gay marriage advocates scoffed at the idea that a federal constitutional amendment was necessary. Now gay marriage advocates applaud as Ted Olson tells the world that our marriage laws are grounded only in hatred and bigotry, that they are akin to racism. Ted Olson’s team actually read Catholic and Baptist doctrine into the court record, to persuade the judge that to be a Christian is to be a bigot.

Will it go that far?

I hope not. But that is the heart of the case against Prop 8: Gay marriage advocates believe there isn’t any difference between two men in a sexual union and a husband and wife, and those of us who see this difference are blinded by hatred and prejudice. They delegitimize opponents, brand us as haters, and then try to strip us of our rights.

The trial that wraps up this week in California has a special resonance for me and many others. Hundreds of thousands of Americans invested their time, their treasure, their blood, sweat and tears to defend at the ballot box what they saw as an important principle: Marriage is the bringing together of male and female in a union like no other.

For these Americans, gay marriage does not merely expand marriage to more people, it abolishes the historic core conception of marriage and replaces it with a new government-mandated genderless marriage. Gay marriage means that our maleness and femaleness does not matter, our capacity to create new life is irrelevant to the public project of marriage. Henceforth by government decree marriage will mean a commitment of any two people; marriage will become a product of individual desire not rooted in any natural order, not rooted in our history or traditions and, incidentally, also not rooted in any coherent vision of constitutional limits on what government courts can do.

I am flying to San Francisco to be there at this historic moment, to live blog the event for the National Organization for Marriage.

The last time I was in the Bay Area a few months ago I was sitting in an upscale bar in Oakland talking to a friend. A young woman, pretty, welldressed, educated, walked over to my table and proceeded to yell at me. “You should be ashamed of yourself!” she said.

I looked her in the eye and told her simply I was very proud of the work that I did, although I understood she disagreed. That made her even madder.

“You should go South,” she sputtered.

“Go South, this is San Francisco!”

Actually it was Oakland, but I took her point. It was an illuminating moment.

Here was an educated young woman who believed she had a right to purify an entire American city of those who disagreed with her about gay marriage. She behaved in a way that I would describe as uncivilized, but she saw herself as a great champion of civility, of tolerance, and of civil rights.

Ted Olson talked in court like a civilized man. But Ted Olson, as much as any one man, is responsible for the idea that there is no real debate to be had about gay marriage, that all the legitimacy, all the arguments, all the good will and good reasons are on his side.

He asked this judge to disrespect the views of his fellow Americans, to brand them ignorant, irrational and bigoted, and to take away our right to vote for marriage. And he will be bathed in applause for doing so.

Welcome home

Return of 278th great news; may all our troops be home soon as well It is sure nice to have members of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment back home. It’s especially nice to welcome back the Sevier County residents who are among the 278th.

Some of the members of this National Guard unit have been to Iraq or Afghanistan several times. They have served their country well. They have earned this trip home.

While we celebrate this return and watch the Guard members re-assimilate into our community, we must be reminded that the United States still has thousands of troops serving in these war-torn countries. Recent Pentagon figures show 94,000 U.S. personnel are in Afghanistan and 92,000 in Iraq. It’s also important to know that June has been one

of the deadliest months of the war in Afghanistan, with 34 dead so far. Casualties are expected it rise throughout the summer, officials say.

A welcome-home of troops these days is a sign of hope that the war truly is winding down, as far as U.S. involvement is concerned. President Obama remains firm in his commitment to have troops begin to pull out of Afghanistan starting next summer, although some top generals are concerned about setting absolute deadlines. All U.S. combat forces are scheduled to leave Iraq by September, and the Iraqi government has agreed the U.S. military should leave completely by 2012.

Whatever you think of the wars in

Iraq and Afghanistan, you must marvel at the dedication and bravery shown by the women and women who are serving and have served in these two hot spots. This has been a difficult seven years. Members of Guard and Reserve units, once called our weekend warriors, have been called into action to supplement the fulltime troops serving in the wars. It has been arduous, dangerous, demanding work.

As members of the Guard and Reserve, these men and women leave behind jobs and families to serve their country.

It’s great to have the 278th back. It’s great to have all soldiers home who have been serving in those two war fronts. May all our troops be back in this country before much longer.

Political view

Public forum Inmate says don’t be so quick in judging those behind bars

Editor: I am writing in response to the letter that was written about the parole board and their system on releasing inmates. In particular, I am writing about inmates serving life sentences.

In the state of Tennessee, when a person is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, then it’s the parole board’s job, not the public’s, to determine whether an inmate has rehabilitated himself or herself.

It is unfair to place judgment on the Parole Board for any inmate’s actions after they are released.

It is also unfair to place judgment on a person who has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing.

While my condolence goes out to anyone affected by these circumstances, my heart goes out to those who sit in county jails or prisons who have been convicted by public opinion.

We live in a society where the public convicts people when they are arrested instead of waiting on the outcome of a trial.

As an inmate myself, I can honestly say there are no animals living among me, nor am I an animal myself. Furthermore, a person can, no matter the length of time they are incarcerated, be rehabilitated and become a positive and productive member of society.

This is America, where we are innocent until proven guilty, right? So let’s not be quick to judge; rather, be quick to forgive and give any person who deserves it a second chance at life.

PROFESSIONAL TENNIS

Roger dodges upset in 1st round at Wimbledon

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — For Roger Federer, Wimbledon nearly ended at the beginning.

The six-time champion overcame a two-set deficit to avert a monumental first-round upset, beating Alejandro Falla 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0.

Federer has reached the tournament final each of the past seven years, but Monday he barely survived the traditional opening match on Centre Court as defending champion.

“I live another day,” Federer said. “This one is one I should have lost. That’s sometimes how grass-court tennis works.”

The 60th-ranked Falla had lost all 11 sets in his previous four matches against Federer, but the Colombian played brilliant tennis to take charge of the match early. The turnaround came in the fourth set with Falla serving for the match and three points from victory, when Federer broke for only the second time.

Federer played his best after that. It’s the third time in a row he has won after losing the first two sets at a Grand Slam event, but the close call was a new experience in such an early round.

“You definitely feel uncomfortable,” Federer said. “For me it’s not normal to be down two sets to love.

Especially at Wimbledon and early on in Grand Slams, it’s something I’m not quite used to.”

After winning the first two sets, Falla received treatment from a trainer during the next three changeovers for an upper left leg injury, but he said it didn’t affect the outcome.

Switzerland’s Roger Federer yells after winning the third set against Colombia’s Alejandro Falla at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on Monday.

No. 5 Andy Roddick, who lost to Federer in last year’s epic final, began his title bid by beating fellow American Rajeev Ram 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

Roddick never faced a break point and committed only 10 unforced errors.

In women’s play, fivetime champion Venus Williams beat Rossana de los Rios 6-3, 6-2. Williams hit 31 winners to four for de los Rios.

“It’s definitely good to be back,” said Williams, seeded second behind her sister Serena, the defending champion. “I love playing on the grass.”

Grand Slam champions Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin began Wimbledon comebacks with victories.

Clijsters won easily in her first match at the All England Club since 2006, beat-

ing Maria Elena Camerin 6-0, 6-3. Henin, playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2007, defeated Anastasija Sevastova 6-4, 6-3.

American Melanie Oudin, who made a surprising run to the fourth round last year as a 17-year-old, defeated Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-3, 6-0.

French Open champion Francesca Schiavone lost to Vera Dushevina, 6-7 (0), 7-5, 6-1 in nearly three hours.

The No. 5-seeded Schiavone committed 38 unforced errors and fell to 0-2 since the improbable run to her first Grand Slam title.

Like Federer, No. 7 Nikolay Davydenko overcame a two-set deficit, beating Kevin Anderson 3-6, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 7-5, 9-7.

Anderson hit 36 aces.

Dustin Brown, the first Jamaican man to play in a Grand Slam tournament since 1974, lost to No. 16 Jurgen Melzer 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

The first day’s play began in warm sunshine and ended with the Centre Court roof closed at twilight to allow the completion of No. 3 Novak Djokovic’s match against Olivier Rochus.

For Falla, the pivotal moment came when he served for the biggest victory of his career at 5-4 in the fourth set. He made shaky errors on the first two points, and a pair of deft forehands by Federer gave him the break.

Federer ran away with the tiebreaker, taking advantage of four more unforced errors

by Falla, and the deflated Colombian mustered little

resistance in the final set.

“I definitely got very lucky today out there,” Federer said.

“I think about the lost opportunity,” Falla said.

“On the other hand, I played a great match. I had Federer against the ropes.”

There had been signs coming into the tournament that Federer might be vulnerable. He lost at the French Open this month in the quarterfinals, his earliest Grand Slam exit in six years. Then he dropped to No. 2 in the rankings behind nemesis Rafael Nadal. Then at a Wimbledon warm-up event came Federer’s second grass-court defeat since 2003, extending his drought of nearly five months without a title.

But no one expected so much trouble against a

26-year-old journeyman who has yet to win a tournament. There were stretches of stunned silence from the crowd, dumbfounded by the score. Fans also roared in appreciate of Falla’s frequent winners.

“He played great,” Federer said. “He was the one who put me in that kind of a score. I thought I was actually playing decent. Credit to him.”

The match was Falla’s third in the past four weeks against Federer, which at first worked to the Colombian’s advantage.

“It shouldn’t have,” Federer said before cracking a smile. “He should have known that I was going to beat him. But he forgot I beat him.”

Falla came to the net often and made good use of crosscourt shots from the baseline. The left-hander was unfazed by Federer’s serve, one of the sport’s best, and repeatedly won points serving to Federer’s backhand — a tactic frequently employed by another lefty, Nadal.

Federer searched for more than two hours to find his championship form. He slipped several times on the immaculate lawn and shanked shots, hitting one forehand so wild that Falla had to leap out of the way.

Federer was 0-for-6 on breakpoint chances before putting a forehand winner on the line to close out the third set. He lost serve to start the next set, and found himself on the verge of defeat with Falla serving at 5-4.

Then Federer’s big surge began. Barely 30 minutes later, he kissed the line with his final shot for a winner and walked to the net to give Falla a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.

PREP TRACK AND FIELD

When Open closes, excitement not a major concern

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Anyone looking for excitement in the final round of the U.S. Open is at the wrong major.

They call it the toughest test in golf for a reason. This championship is won by not losing. And if the expectations are any different, blame it on the false expectations created by Torrey Pines.

That’s where Tiger Woods delivered perhaps the most riveting U.S. Open in the last 10 years. The lasting images from 2008 at Torrey Pines are Woods holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff, Rocco Mediate making the long, downhill birdie putt on the 15th hole to take the lead in the playoff, and Woods making another birdie on the 18th to force overtime.

The stage was set for such dramatics on Sunday at Pebble Beach. Graeme McDowell was in front and three of the best players from this generation — Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els, with a combined 184 victories and 21 majors — were poised to chase him down.

The chase turned into five-car crash. The top five players on the leaderboard, including Gregory Havret of France, combined to make two birdies on the back nine.

One of them came from Els, whose 5-iron on the par-3 12th hopped out of the rough and rolled 2 feet away. The other came from Woods, who blasted out of the bunker fronting the 14th green to inside a foot.

Two things stand out about McDowell’s victory.

—He started the final

round three shots out of the lead, closed with a 3-over 74 and won the championship.

“I was surprised,” said McDowell, whose 74 was the highest final round by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North shot a 74 in the final round at Oakland Hills in 1985. “I didn’t think 3-over par was going to get the job done today. I really didn’t.”

—It was the second straight year that the U.S. Open champion made only one birdie in the final round.

Lucas Glover waited until the 16th hole at Bethpage Black before hitting that 8-iron to 6 feet. McDowell hit a 7-iron to about 8 feet at the par-5 fifth.

Augusta National has restored the roars to the Masters with clever hole locations and allow for birdies and eagles, and this year featured wild shifts in momentum. Y.E. Yang’s biggest moment at Hazeltine in the PGA Championship last year was chipping in for eagle. The British Open has a little of everything, depending on the links and the wind.

The U.S. Open is more about survival. Always has been. Of the final five groups that teed off, Davis Love III was the only player who didn’t succumb to par. He shot even-par 71.

The course did not appear any more daunting the previous three days, with some accessible hole locations, although it was the fastest it had played all week. That was the biggest difference. If there was more, Mickelson wasn’t telling.

“I’m not really sure,” the Masters champion said when asked why Pebble was so tough. “I kind of know, but I would rather not get into it.

It just doesn’t sound good. I mean, it was just a tough day on the golf course.”

Woods didn’t say anything bad about the greens. This time, he blamed himself for three mental mistakes — his club selection off the par-5 sixth that went over the cliff and into Stillwater Cove to turn birdie into bogey; his sand wedge down the side of the cliff on the 10th for a bogey; and his club selection and shot on the 12th, another bogey. Woods closed with a 75 and finished three shots behind in a tie for fourth.

“The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open,” he said.

As for Els? He lost his way along the Pacific coast, twice hitting shots down the side of the hill toward the beach on the 10th hole for double bogey, and the bogeys he made before and after that hole didn’t help. The Big Easy did not stick around to offer his assessment.

McDowell might have spoke for everyone when he spoke about the test the U.S. Open provided on the final day.

“No matter how good you play,” he said, “good golf got rewarded, and bad golf got punished really badly.”

That sums up the U.S. Open as well as anything.

Missing from Pebble Beach was a signature shot that defined the previous four U.S. Opens. It was Jack Nicklaus hitting the 1-iron off the pin on the 17th in 1972, and Tom Watson chipping in for birdie behind the 17th green 10 years later.

He also saved par with a chip from the rough below the 10th green, a shot that earned a replay during the NBC Sports telecast.

Tom Kite chipped in from

behind the seventh green and holed a monster putt on the 12th when he won in 1992. And even though Woods hit the ball too flawlessly for any shot that stands out, his 7-iron out of the rough on the par-5 sixth is what prompted TV analyst Roger Maltbie to proclaim, “It’s not a fair fight.” Woods won by 15 that year.

The signature moment this year? The most significant shot for McDowell might have been the beautiful bunker shot he hit on the 12th to within 2 feet to save par that kept his lead at two shots when he couldn’t afford to lose any.

He kept up one tradition at Pebble Beach. Even though the tees were moved forward to give players a chance to reach the par-5 18th in two shots, the closing hole had no bearing on the championship. Once McDowell saw that Havret failed to make a 10-foot birdie on the last hole, he put the fairway metal up and hit 8-iron to lay up for a safe par.

The USGA erected a large video board in a pavilion outside the merchandise tent and outdoor restaurant, on the way to the golf course, which allowed fans to see highlights of past U.S. Opens.

When they show the highlights from 2010 at Pebble Beach, don’t be surprised if everyone keeps walking.

That’s nothing against McDowell, a 30-year-old from Northern Ireland with a game he showed was capable of winning a major. The excitement was watching him cradle the silver trophy like a newborn. He earned it. He shot the lowest score.

That’s what the U.S. Open is about — not style points.

McCandless finds redemption

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GREENSBORO, N.C. — After a tough two days at the state tournament in Murfreesboro, recent Sevier County High School graduate Alex McCandless found some redemption at his final career prep track meet.

McCandless, who collided with the track surface both days he ran at the state tournament held the last week of May at Middle Tennessee State University, finished 13th at the recent New Balance Nationals track meet in Greensboro, N.C. With his strong performance at nationals, McCandless finished the prep season ranked No.1 in Tennessee in the two-kilometer steeple. McCandless is also ranked No.26 in the nation in the event.

“I was really disappointed with how state went,” said McCandless. “I was happy to have another chance ... because I knew I hadn’t been able to reach my potential at state. I wanted to prove ... that I was better than that to myself. I wanted that proof, not just to be an old guy one day telling my glory days story.”

Perfect practice makes perfect hitters

NBA HOOPS

A hitter’s philosophy by Rod Carew Hitting, indeed, is fun. But becoming a good hitter is never easy. In fact, it’s laughable every time anyone has ever said, “Rod Carew is a born hitter.� While winning seven batting titles might not happen, anybody can become a good hitter – even a great hitter – if you decide to work at it.

A constant drive to improve is of the utmost importance, but perhaps just as important at the onset is to understand how to improve. As the late, great John Wooden once said, “practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.�

As crucial as any other aspect is realizing that the philosophy of every good hitter is to do whatever is needed to help your team win baseball games.

Getting on base to score runs, coming through in the clutch and driving in runs is clearly the most obvious way to assist a team. But there’s far more than that involved in being a good hitter and a good team hitter. It involves being unselfish, doing the little things like moving a runner over, sacrificing yourself for the greater good of your team, all the aspects of the game that don’t necessarily show up in the box score, but still have a huge impact in the game’s final score.

In addition to the desire to improve and work – and playing in an unselfish manner, having discipline and confidence at the plate are an essential part of the equation in becoming a standout hitter.

Making consistent contact at the plate comes from knowing the fundamentals of hitting and applying them with discipline and confidence.

And there’s no better training aid than the GAPHitter to help you on your way from the very beginning. ——— Rod Carew was voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. He won seven American League batting titles and retired with 3,053 career hits. One of baseball’s most sought-after hitting instructors, Carew has seen players such as Jim Edmonds, Garrett Anderson, Troy Glaus, Darin Erstad and Torii Hunter blossom under his watchful eye.

LOS ANGELES — Thousands of screaming fans saluted the world champion Los Angeles Lakers Monday in a two-mile parade that left no doubt that expectations for a three-peat are high.

Laker starters Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest waved to the crowd from a flatbed truck festooned in purple and gold and surrounded by a white picket fence.

Bryant has five titles, but “this is the best one by far because it was the hardest one to get,� he said.

Looking ahead, Bryant told reporters, “When next season starts, we’ll be ready, that’s for sure.�

The parade capped a season that ended Thursday with an 83-79 Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics and a 16th NBA title for the Lakers.

The two-mile toast took the Lakers from Staples Center downtown south to the Galen Center at the University of Southern California. The Laker Girls, riding in a fire truck, preceded the players along the parade route.

Officials estimated the parade might attract as many as two million fans. Police did not offer a crowd estimate. It was a parade only — no rally, no speeches, no music and no other hoopla at beginning or end.

Bernard Hinson, 50, and his 8-year-old son, Aaron, came from Oakland to watch the parade. Hinson said he chose a spot close to the beginning because he thought it would be safer. Of the crowd, he said: “Ninety percent are true Lakers fans. Ten percent are here to cause trouble.�

It was Aaron’s second parade and last year he only got a glimpse of the players. “This one’s going to be better because we’ll see the players,� the youngster said.

There was a heavy blue line, with police lined up every few feet on both sides of the

parade route. Officers in cars and helicopters added to the police presence.

Police Chief Charlie Beck held an early morning news conference to warn troublemakers that police would not tolerate a repeat of the violence that occurred Thursday when the Lakers won the NBA championship. There were no serious injuries, but a lot of damage from vandalism and fires. “If you’re coming here to vandalize, if you’re coming here to disrupt, well, then you’re going to stay because we are going to put you in jail,� Beck said.

The Lakers were footing the bill for the Figueroa Street parade.

Along the parade route, one fan hoisted a foam tombstone reading “RIP Boston.� A woman carried a homemade poster boasting: “Back to back without Shak.�

The high-energy, flag-waving crowd sat in lawn chairs, snuggled in blankets and dodged Silly String and confetti. The shrill blare of bull horns and other spontaneous buzz took place amid splotches of purple, gold, blue and white jerseys.

Ana Zavalza, 26, of Whittier, arrived to take part in her first Lakers victory parade. “I’m disappointed they are not going to have a rally at the end. I expected more.�

Tickets to playoff games were too expensive for Teresa Howe, 42, of Simi Valley. “I get to see the players for free,� she said. “Twenty dollars for parking doesn’t compare to thousands of dollars for Lakers tickets.�

She said she enjoyed sharing back-toback memories with fellow fans. “I’m just as excited this year because it’s the second time in a row. I’m looking forward to a threepeat. And I’ll be here next year.�

Fan Jimmy Baskom, 58, said he took the day off from his job as a window washer in Palmdale because he wanted to see his longtime basketball heroes in person. He wore a purple and gold jacket and hat. “I’ve been a die-hard fan all my life and I watch every game but this is my first opportunity to see them in person,� he said.

Advice

Mom has unpleasant choices if she wants reconciliation with her son

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My son and his family have been estranged from us for six years. We discovered the reason was that his wife was spreading vicious lies. When I caught her in one particular lie, she left a message saying, “To us you are dead.” I assume my son believed her lies, because he does not contact us at all.

I have tried to mend the relationship, but every time there seems to be a little headway, she comes up with something new. I know she wants an apology from me. I would do that, but I’m sure she will use it as proof that her lies were true.

I love my son, and not seeing the grandkids is hurting my husband and me terribly. I pray daily for a miracle that will bring us together again.

-- Brokenhearted Dear Broken: Some spouses (and it is primarily wives) are so insecure that they need to control every aspect of the marriage, and that requires alienating the in-laws.

It borders on emotional abuse. It also requires a partner who doesn’t recognize what’s happening or lacks the spine to take a stand.

You cannot change your daughter-in-law’s personality, and you apparently cannot convince your son that she is a liar. He also may be unwilling to rock the boat at home by questioning her. Your choice is to remain estranged or to apologize repeatedly. An apology does not have to be an admission of guilt.

Tell your daughter-in-law you are truly sorry for upsetting her, and make sure you say it in front of your son. We know it sticks in your craw, but

it may be the only way to have any kind of relationship.

Dear Annie: I am a hairdresser and have a problem saying “no.”

My family and friends expect me to do their hair for free. It started when I said “yes” to one, and now I have 10 people who think I should do their hair. I used to do it at work, but it became too difficult. So now, after a 50-hour workweek standing on my feet all day with my back aching, everyone wants me to make house calls.

I believe they are taking advantage of me. I honestly don’t want to do anyone’s hair anymore. I have to bring all my equipment to their homes, and they never offer to give me a dime.

How do I put an end to this? I would never expect anyone to do this for me. Why can’t I say “no”? -- Sick of Saying Yes in N.C. Dear N.C.: You obviously don’t want to disappoint anyone, but they are definitely taking advantage of you. If it’s too hard to say “no,” try making yourself less available. Tell Sis your back aches and you cannot do one more head of hair that day. Or the next.

Tell Aunt Judy your feet are killing you and you’re staying home. It might help to stand in front of the mirror and practice what you plan to say.

Put some starch in your backbone, honey, or you will be stuck doing this

Dear Annie: “Victim of a Stroke” said a sudden personality change could indicate a stroke.

It could also be a sign of other life-threatening problems.

My husband’s friend was a sweet person who suddenly turned into an unkind grump who continually belittled my husband, who was baffled and devastated.

Three months later, the friend was dead from a blood clot to the lungs.

He was 46. Our landlord was a vibrant, compassionate man in his 50s who jogged five miles a day. One day, he said our 11-year-old daughter had to move out. Even his wife thought it was odd. Three months later, he died of a heart attack while jogging.

A sudden alteration in the amount of oxygen to the brain can also trigger a drastic behavior change. -- Still Grieving Dear Still: Thank you for pointing out that any sudden personality change could indicate a serious medical condition and requires immediate attention.

Van der Sloot’s mother says he’s mentally ill

By TOBY STERLING Associated Press Writer

Associated Press

Beachgoers watch booming operations in Perdido Pass in Orange Beach, Ala. Alabama booming operations are being ramped up with oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster hitting the coast.

‘Desperate financial straits’ Gulf victims need immediate relief, says fund overseer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The man President Barack Obama picked to run the $20 billion Gulf oil spill damage fund said Monday many people are in “desperate financial straits” and need immediate relief.

“Do not underestimate the emotionalism and the frustration and the anger of people in the Gulf uncertain of their financial future,” Kenneth Feinberg told interviewers. “It’s very pronounced.

I witnessed it firsthand last week.”

Feinberg, who ran the victims claim fund set up in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, said he is determined to speed up payment of claims.

His appearance came a week after the administration worked out an arrangement with oil giant BP to establish an independent claims fund — initially $20 billion — and pledged to reconfigure the system and expedite payments. Feinberg said BP has paid out over $100 million so far, and various estimates place total claims so far in excess of $600 million.

“The top message is the message conveyed to me by the president,” Feinberg said. “ ... We want to get these claims out quicker. We want to get these claims out with more transparency.” He

BP: Spill costs reach $2 billion LONDON (AP) — BP PLC said Monday that its partners in the leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well must share responsibility for the costs in dealing with the disaster, on which BP said it has now spent $2 billion.

BP hit back at Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which has a 25 percent stake in the gushing well, following Anadarko’s statement on Friday accusing BP of gross negligence in operating the drilling rig.

BP shares were down 4 percent in early trading in London at 343.4 pence ($5.12).

Anadarko said the joint operating agreement makes BP responsible to co-owners for any damage due to gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In a statement on Monday to the London Stock Exchange, BP countered that all the partners shared in liability for damage resulting from exploration in Mississippi Canyon Block 252.

“All the co-owners of the leasehold interest previously entered into a written operating agreement under which ... the parties would share the costs of operations, including the cost to clean up any spill resulting from drilling the MC252 exploratory well, according to their respective ownership interests,” BP said.

said people can file electronically for relief, if they wish, and they need not hire a lawyer. He also said he believes that “when a person comes in and asks for emergency assistance, they shouldn’t have to keep coming back,” suggesting lump-sum emergency payments.

Asked how officials can guard against false claims, Feinberg said he didn’t think that would be a major problem, and said that in the 9/11 experience, there were only a

handful of such claims. He did say there could be an issue involving claimants who say they were indirectly harmed by the spill, such as a Boston restaurateur theoretically arguing that his business was hurt by the inability to bring shrimp in from the Gulf.

In such instances, Feinberg said, officials might have to resort to whatever existing state law says on that issue.

In another interview, he said, “The emergency payments going out under my

watch do not require that any claimant give up rights to litigate or go forward in court ... If you want to litigate, go ahead.”

But he added that he considers that “very unwise,” because it could take years to resolve the issue that way.

“The emergency payments are without any conditions,” Feinberg said.

He appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” CNN and NBC’s “Today” show.

AMSTERDAM — Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the murder of one woman and the disappearance of another, suffers mental problems, his mother was quoted Sunday as saying.

Van der Sloot, a 22-year-old Dutchman, is suspected in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. He sits now in a prison compound on the dusty outskirts of Peru’s capital, Lima, held on suspicion of killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30 — five years to the day after Holloway vanished while on vacation.

“My son is sick in his head,” the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf quoted Anita van der Sloot as saying in an interview published on its website Sunday. The comments were her first since her son’s most recent arrest.

Police in Peru say Van der Sloot has confessed to killing Flores. He is scheduled to be interviewed by a judge in Lima next week.

He has confessed to involvement in Holloway’s disappearance, then retracted his confession, several times.

Holloway was last seen in his company.

Van der Sloot has told his jailers in Peru he is ready to clarify the Holloway case — but only with Aruban authorities.

For now, he spends his days in a nearly empty block of a high-security prison, where he shares a TV set and homemade barbells with a reputed Colombian hit man.

The Van der Sloot family lives in Aruba, where the interview with Anita van der Sloot was conducted.

She told the newspaper her son disappeared in midMay, two days before he was scheduled to travel to the Netherlands for treatment in a mental institution. He left a note saying he was going to Peru, she said.

Van der Sloot had been traveling the world but returned to Aruba in February after his father, Paul, died of a heart attack while playing tennis.

In the Telegraaf interview, Anita van der Sloot said she does not believe her son killed Holloway.

“But if he killed Stephany, he’ll have to pay the price.

I won’t visit him in his cell, I cannot embrace him,” she was quoted saying.

She said Joran’s mental health had deteriorated steadily since Holloway disappeared. She attributed his decline in part to media scrutiny.
