Senior Center plans long-term

Facility officials take building request to commission committee

SEVIERVILLE — As the local population ages and the number of those who use the Fort Sanders Sevier Senior Center continues to grow, officials at the facility are making plans for how they’ll accommodate the increased traffic.

Not even yet eight years old, the Chapman Highway location is already starting to feel a bit cramped, says Office on Aging Director Lisa Yarber. With estimates putting the portion of the local population 40 years and older at 51.5 percent, Yarber believes the time to plan ahead is now.

That’s why she and several

of the members of the office’s board of directors recently went before the County Commission’s Intergovernmental Committee with a request it they consider investing in the area’s fastestgrowing population segment.

Acknowledging the budget realities every government entity is facing this year, their petition wasn’t that concrete start

pouring this year. Rather, they were seeking and got a receptive audience from the folks who will hold the county’s purse strings for the years to come and, Yarber hopes, might remember the senior center when tax collections get back on the upswing.

SEVIERVILLE — The work of four young artists is displayed in the children’s waiting area of LeConte Medical Center’s Emergency Department and, on Tuesday afternoon, they were rewarded for their contribution.

Kelsey Blalock, Nick Spadaro, Anna Wright and

Kendra Teaster were the winners of an art contest the medical center held for Sevier County’s Boys and Girls Clubs.

“We had never had a pediatric waiting room, and we wanted it to be special for the community,” said Mandy Conner, LeConte Medical Center business development coordinator.

“We thought it would be neat for the children’s waiting room to have pictures by children,”

added Ellen Wilhoit, LeConte Medical Chief Administrator Officer.

Wilhoit, who is active on the Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors, announced the contest to the clubs’ children last year. Participants were asked to draw what first came to their minds when they thought of Sevier County.

“The first thing I thought of was The Old Mill,” said

BOMA gives final approval to $47M budget for 2010-11

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the final reading Monday for the city’s 2010-11 budget, bringing that process to a close.

The $47 million budget doesn’t call for any tax increase, but also doesn’t call for an immediate increase in pay for city employees, or even a so-called cost of living adjustment. City employees haven’t received a pay increase since the recession started, but that could change later in the year, if projections for improved tax revenues pan out. It allows for a 2 percent increase to pay Jan. 2, but the board will have to revisit that idea before it is enacted, even if the money is avail-

able.

To cover the expenses, the city is expected to tap into its reserve fund for about an additional $1.5 million.

All of the aldermen took time to praise staff for making voluntary cuts in the original proposals brought to City Administrator Steve Hendrix.

“There were a lot of sacrifices,” Alderman Jerry Loveday said. “I really appreciate it.”

Alderman Dale Carr noted that they cut even more money in the last few months to allow the board to fund an advertising campaign that piggybacks onto state tourism ads.

The final vote came after a series of workshops held to review the budget; See boma, Page A4

Planners not buying timeshare company’s pitch Staff has received numerous complaints

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — Those sometimes hard-selling folks who approach people at local stores and restaurants about buying a timeshare might soon find

themselves in the crosshairs of Pigeon Forge officials thanks to the actions of one company that planning staffers say are blatantly disregarding the law.

On the agenda for the Planning Commission’s meeting Tuesday afternoon was a request to permit an off-premise sales location for Wahoo Vacation Club, a resort off Matthews Hollow Road that has apparently been operating that kind of sales booth already at

Settlers Village. Though no one from the company itself showed up to talk about the petition, there was plenty of discussion.

Chief Planner David Taylor outlined the situation with Wahoo, which he said sent out salesmen and started approaching shoppers at Settlers Village before talking to any city official.

“This actually came about because of a complaint,” Taylor said. “We have received numer-

ous complaints, actually, about salespeople approaching people in the parking lot at Settlers Village.”

Taylor explained planning office staffers went to the shopping center several weeks ago to investigate. They ordered the operation to stop until approval is given by the city, but that apparently didn’t happen. With new See planners, Page A4

Authorities searching

for bank robbery suspect Staff Report SEYMOUR — The FBI and Sevier County authorities are searching for a bank robbery suspect who struck the BankEast in Seymour on Tuesday afternoon.

FBI spokeswoman Stacie Bohanan said the suspect entered the bank at 10304 Chapman Highway at approximately 2:14 p.m. and handed a demand note to a teller. No one was thought to have been injured during the ordeal.

The suspect was described as a large-framed, white male in his 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, 250 pounds, with a balding head and goatee. He was wearing denim pants, a white polo shirt with horizontal stripes and a camo-print baseball cap.

After fleeing the bank on foot, the man was seen entering the passenger side of a dark or possibly black GM extendedcab pickup truck being driven by another heavy-set man.

A reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest of suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous, Bohanan said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 5440751 or the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office at 865-453-4668.

calls the very next day, Taylor went back with the police and issued an order that the sales stop.

Still, it seems city officials aren’t convinced things have settled down in Settlers Village. Someone from Wahoo has continued to park a vehicle emblazoned with a brightly colored logo and the company’s name in big letters, something city ordinances prohibit, Taylor said.

Now officials with the resort have requested that they be allowed to put up a permanent sales booth at the center, though even that worries planning staffers because the proposed location would block entry to a restaurant there. With all that in mind, Taylor offered his advice to the commission. “Because there have been several issues, violations going on, I would recommend that you deny this request,� he said.

Even that didn’t seem like enough to the members of the board, though. Commission member Bill Howell wondered if there isn’t more the city can and should do to punish Wahoo for the infractions. “Is there anything we can do besides just to deny it?�

Howell asked, suggesting fines and having the vehicle towed.

City Attorney Jim Gass proposed the board talk to the city manager about seeking injunctive relief from the company, a legal move that would allow it to assess a fee for every day the salespeople continue to work at Settlers Village.

Howell built that idea into the motion he made to deny the request, which found unanimous support.

The situation doesn’t end there, though. Both Howell and Taylor said there have been complaints about other off-premise operations being too aggressive in their approaches, with Howell recounting having to shoo salespeople away from his car several times at a local

gas station. That turned his attention to taking a wider approach to addressing problems like those the city staffers have had with Wahoo Vacation Club. “I think we’ve been fairly liberal with these off-premise locations and I think that’s being taken advantage of,�

Howell said. “I think it’s time we crack down on it.�

Howell didn’t go into specifics about how he thinks the situation should be addressed, but suggested Planning Commission members meet with the city manager and the City Commission to discuss the matter and come up with solutions.

This isn’t the first time Wahoo has come under fire.

Neighbors worried several months ago about construction at the resort that included a helipad and rumors that the owner planned to operate air flights in and out of the resort, which includes rental units and a zipline attraction.

During Tuesday’s session, the group voted to approve: Special Events n Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson, free food and drinks to the Latin American Motorcycle Association 12-5 p.m. on July 24 at 105 Walden’s Main Street n 13th Annual Smoky Mountain Trout Tournament Sept. 25-26 and April 2-3 n Smoky Mountain Resorts Smoky Mountain Civil War and Relic Show Treasure Hunt at 4010 Parkway on Aug. 28-29 n East Tennessee Alzheimer’s Association 2010 Smoky Mountain Memory Walk on Oct. 16 at Pigeon Forge High School n Great Smoky Mountain Church of Christ Vacation Bible School on Aug. 6-7 at 3078 Veterans Boulevard Site Plan n Auto Zone at 330 Wears Valley Road Required Actions n Amending Section 407.3.1 of the zoning text regarding planned unit developments to remove contradictory rules about setback requirements. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

His winning sketch was of the Great Smoky Mountains. “I don’t use colors a lot; I like monochromatic and shading — it just comes naturally to me.�

Nine-year-old Anna, who attends Wearwood Elementary School, drew a colorful scene from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “I like to draw the sky and the outdoors,� she said shyly.

those workshop also concluded Monday. Officials noted the department heads have cut travel and membership to organizations down to only those involved in keeping required certifications for staff.

Alderman Barry Gibbs asked Hendrix to take a hard look at the city’s trolley services, and whether all the routes and all the trolleys were drawing enough riders to justify their use. Hendrix said that will be one of the main assignments for an assistant city administrator when he hires one, which he hopes will happen in the next few weeks.

Nick’s mother, Lynn Spadaro, first learned about her son’s winning picture when she visited the Emergency Room because of an injury. “I saw someone looking at the pictures, and I went over and saw his name,� she said with a laugh. “He didn’t know about it at the time, either!�

Wilhoit told the contest winners that their art would be there for years and years to come. “On behalf of the hospital, we thank all of you,� she said. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Judge lifts offshore drilling ban White House plans immediate appeal NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge struck down the Obama administration’s six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico as rash and heavy-handed Tuesday, saying the government simply assumed that because one rig exploded, the others pose an imminent danger, too.

The White House promised an immediate appeal. The Interior Department had imposed the moratorium last month in the wake of the BP disaster, halting approval of

any new permits for deepwater projects and suspending drilling on 33 exploratory wells.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama believes that until investigations can determine why the spill happened, continued deepwater drilling exposes workers and the environment to “a danger that the president does not believe we can afford.�

Several companies that ferry people and supplies and provide other services to offshore rigs argued that the moratorium was arbitrarily imposed after the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and blew out a well 5,000 feet underwater. It has spewed anywhere from 67 million to

127 million gallons of oil.

U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and has owned stock in a number of petroleum-related companies, sided with the plaintiffs. “If some drilling equipment parts are flawed, is it rational to say all are?� he asked. “Are all airplanes a danger because one was? All oil tankers like Exxon Valdez? All trains? All mines? That sort of thinking seems heavy-handed, and rather overbearing.�

He also warned that the shutdown would have an “immeasurable effect� on the industry, the local economy and the U.S. energy supply.

Witness: Blag mulled value of Obama seat CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich was excited about what he might get in exchange for Barack Obama’s Senate seat — from campaign donations to a post in the new administration or just sending himself to Washington — according to the ousted governor’s former top aide and wiretap recordings played in court Tuesday.

Blagojevich talked about his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appoint a new senator, considering several alternatives in an effort to get the best possible deal for himself —

including feeding misinformation to the Obama camp and others, according to testimony by former chief of staff John Harris. “There’s a carrot and stick thing going on right now,�

Blagojevich says to Harris in one recording, referring to efforts to mislead Obama and his advisers as a way to gain leverage. As governor, Blagojevich was responsible for appointing someone to fill the empty Senate seat.

Harris told jurors that Blagojevich suggested leaking false reports that he was thinking about

appointing state officials, including Attorney General Lisa Madigan, to convince Obama to appoint him as Secretary of Health and Human Services or maybe U.N. ambassador in exchange for appointing Obama’s choice for the seat, Valerie Jarrett.

Harris said he and Blagojevich also talked about getting then-state Senate President Emil Jones to hand over his entire campaign war chest in exchange for appointing Jones to the post, while also wondering how much money prominent busi-

nessmen might contribute to his campaign fund if he were to hand them the job.

According to the testimony and the tapes, throughout the conversations — which began even before Obama was elected — Blagojevich makes it clear that he expects someone to pay him for the appointment, whether in cash or a new job.

On one tape, Blagojevich sounds annoyed at the notion that he should be grateful to Obama for the good publicity that appointing Jarrett, a friend of Obama’s, might generate.

senior center

in the county,� the report reads. “Based on these factors, it is the recommendation of this council to seek the joint support of the county mayor and commission, and Sevierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen to consider funding options to expand the existing campus of the Fort Sanders Sevier Senior Center with a new, 15,000-squarefoot building at an estimated

cost of $2.1 million.�

The proposed construction would be completed on land already part of the center campus, with Yarber working with S&ME Surveying to get the exact dimensions of the parcel and Barber McMurry Architects to draft a preliminary drawing.

The new multiuse building would be connected to the existing facility by a covered

walkway, Yarber said.

The proposal asks that the county and Sevierville officials consider a 70-30 split for the costs, with the county paying the larger portion, a formula based on the ownership split of the center. It also suggests that a bond issue be considered as a means of covering the tab.

3From Page A1

“I thought it was a very positive meeting,� Yarber says. “Just their willingness to listen is wonderful. They were very engaged and they asked some great questions at the end, so it gave us reason to be hopeful.�

The crowds coming in the door at the center give Yarber reason to be realistic.

Since the facility opened, the number of unique visitors, that is people who have never been there before, who later became regular users, has increased about 300 percent. That has put a strain not only on the fairly limited staff at the center, all of whom are dedicated to their work and regularly put in long days according to Yarber, but also on the building itself. “The staff and volunteers at the center are committed to providing the most rewarding and beneficial experiences to the county’s senior population as possible,� the presentation given to the commissioners reads. “But the stark reality is that the population of this demographic is outpacing our ability to provide the services they request.

We must exhibit the forethought, planning and preparation now to be ready to support our seniors in the near future and beyond.�

Every day, the center is operating near its maximum occupancy, Yarber says. That moved the board of directors to form a committee to look into the matter, with that group coming up with a proposal for expansion. “It is the opinion of this committee that the existing square footage limitations will not be able to support the ongoing needs of the current and future senior population

Justices want relief for needy defendants NASHVILLE (AP) — Justices on the state Supreme Court say Tennesseans should know that their top priority is getting relief to people who cannot afford a lawyer.

The downturn in the economy has forced many people to represent themselves in civil court cases, simply because they cannot afford an attorney.

The court on Tuesday announced that it will hold a statewide summit to find ways to get more free legal services

for people. At the same time, the court is trying to make it easier for people to represent themselves on simple legal issues, such as debt disputes, name changes and no-contest divorces.

“Lack of equal access in our civil courts remains one of the most pressing issues facing our court system today,” Chief Justice Janice Holder told a group of lawyers and judges.

a civil case.

One in five Tennesseans represented themselves in civil cases in 2003, almost all because they could not afford an attorney. Lawyers and judges believe the numbers are much higher now because the economy is in far worse shape.

Metro General Sessions Judge Angie Blackshear Dalton says she’s seen a marked rise in people representing themselves in civil cases like landlord-tenant disputes and lawsuits over debts.

The Supreme Court is in the process of coming up with forms that will help people represent themselves in court. Holder said many people are downloading legal forms off the Web already, but they aren’t applicable to Tennessee law.

She said she hopes at least a few of the new forms will be available to the public when the summit is held in January.

The move to help people represent themselves is part of the court’s Justice for All initiative.

commentary

Arlington must return to reverence In his Second Inaugural Address, with the end of the Civil War in sight and barely six weeks before an assassin’s bullets would make him America’s martyr, Abraham Lincoln urged his fellow citizens “to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan ...”

Ten months earlier, on May 13, 1864, 21-year-old Army private William Henry Christman of Lehigh, Penn., would be the first soldier to be buried in the new national cemetery people called Arlington.

For 146 years, Arlington National Cemetery has been a place of reverence and a place for remembering. Now, thanks to the relentless reporting of Salon’s Mark Benjamin, we know with sorrow and fury, after a seven-month investigation by the Army, that the remains of at least 211 of those eligible for burial in this hallowed spot were misidentified, misplaced or mislabeled.

This is Arlington National Cemetery.

This is where Audie Murphy, the most decorated U.S. soldier of World War II — whose 33 citations and awards, included the Medal of Honor, and who personally killed at least 240 enemy soldiers — is buried. Here lie former Sgt. Joe Louis, the heavyweight champion of whom Jimmy Cannon wrote, “Joe Louis is a credit to his race — the human race,” as well as astronauts Christa McAuliffe, “Gus” Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Dick Scobee.

The man they called the GI’s general, Omar Bradley; a young Navy lieutenant who would become president, John Kennedy; and another who would become chief justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren, all rest here.

Those names were known to millions.

But there are 300,000 more at Arlington who are not famous but who shared in their youth a love of country and a living patriotism that summoned them to the service of their country. They come overwhelmingly from the ranks of the unpampered and the unprivileged.

Most of the 300,000 are known only to those who loved them — their mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, daughters and sons, and, of course, their spouses. They, the survivors, are the ones who come to visit the gravesite to connect, for consolation and a little comfort.

Instead of solace, because of the incompetence and indifference of the individuals in charge of the cemetery, those grieving got a hard punch in the stomach. They can no longer know for sure if the grave and the headstone they visited to pray and to reflect belongs to their fallen warrior or a stranger. The cemetery leadership — which between 2002 and 2009 spent $5.5 million in contracts allegedly to computerize the cemetery records, only to have the inaccurate records still on 3-by-5 cards — has been relieved.

Let’s be blunt. This is not the equivalent of putting a man on the moon or plugging a hole in an oil well a mile underwater.

This is not multi-tasking.

This is a solemn mission but a straightforward task, to be performed with consideration and respect, of simply identifying the right person and then burying her or him in the right place with the right marker.

You cannot go to a political event without being told by speaker after speaker just how much we honor and owe those who wear the uniform and who defend the nation. Oh, yeah, well then how do you explain the mistreatment of wounded veterans at Walter Reed Hospital and the emotional abuse of surviving families at Arlington?

To his credit, Army Secretary John McHugh could barely conceal his own anger at the report on the failures at Arlington, for which his department is responsible.

Let us resolve to keep the pressure on the Congress and on the administration until Arlington National Cemetery is made once again a place of reverence and a place for remembering, where those entitled to rest there — and those who mourn them — are treated with respectful professionalism and personal gratitude.

Editorial

Keep your cool Yeah, it’s hot, so take precautions and look out for others Looks like we’re in for temperatures well into the 90s at least for the rest of the month. How did we all survive such heat 40 and 50 years ago, before every building became air-conditioned and a window fan was a luxury? The old A/C has been a blessing and a curse. Right now it’s a blessing.

These are the kind of days when we have to look out for our friends, families and neighbors. Not everyone has an air-conditioned home, and even some who do may find it too expensive to operate when it has to keep running all the time. Some of our most vulnerable often close themselves up in a house that becomes oven-like, with no A/C running and no air circulating. This is when people can get into trouble.

We must check in on those who might be confined to home but without a means or willingness to keep cool. We also have to take precautions when we have to be outside for prolonged periods of time. The South can be a stifling, unbearably hot place to live in the summer, but when the heat

gets turned up like it is now, it’s time to review the safety measures people need to take in extreme weather.

Temperatures this high raise the risk for heat-related illnesses including stroke, exhaustion, heat cramps and rash. Signs of heat-related illness include dizziness, heavy sweating, muscle cramps, rapid heart beat, nausea, headaches and cold/clammy skin.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers some steps to avoid preventable heat-related illnesses: n Drink plenty of fluids. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink.

Remember to consume non-alcoholic, low-sugar drinks in hot weather. n Replace salt and minerals. Heavy sweating can deplete your body’s salt and minerals. Non-alcoholic drinks, like sports drinks, can help you replenish these reserves. n Wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen. Choose lightweight, lightcolored, loose-fitting clothing, as well as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection. Wear SPF 15 or higher sunblock every day.

n Schedule outdoor activities carefully. Try to limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours with rest breaks in shady areas, if available. UV rays are strongest and do the most damage during midday hours. n Pace yourself. If you are unaccustomed to working or exercising in a hot environment, start slowly and increase effort gradually. If your heart is pounding or you are gasping for breath, stop the activity and rest in a cool, shady area. n Stay cool indoors. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the mall or library to cool off. Cool showers or baths, and keeping your stove and oven off are other ways to cool down inside. n Use the buddy system. Partner with a friend and watch each other for signs of heat-related illness. Senior citizens are more susceptible, so if you know someone over age 65, check on him or her over the phone twice a day.

The temps will fall eventually to more normal East Tennessee summer highs, and we’ll get through this. But until then, keep cool, brothers and sisters.

Political view

Public forum April Stone, organization dedicated to helping animals

Editor: We’ve always had an epidemic of feral cats in the area because cats breed so quickly and people, for the most part, do not have them spayed or neutered. Of course, the same thing happens to our dogs.

Dealing with feral cats is very difficult because they are so wild from lack of human contact that basically all you can do is a catch, fix and release. Hopefully, the people who were concerned in the first place will take them back and feed them. The wonderful part about it is these cats won’t have litter after litter after litter.

I’ve had the same problem for a couple of months now. When a very emaciated cat showed up with a big belly, I fed her back to

health and she trusts me somewhat and loves to visit, but she’s still very wild. The problem now is her three kittens, who are very wild.

I need to get them all in to be fixed. I didn’t know what to do — feral cats aren’t the most popular animals around.

I recently found an organization called Kindness Counts run by April Stone. She’s very knowledgeable and more than ready to help when you have a situation like mine.

Apparently she has several people willing to help with this endeavor, which is a good thing to hear since there are so many people who couldn’t care less about what happens to our fine creatures.

Apparently this time of year there are so many kittens taken to the shelter that the previous litter has to die to make room for the new ones. Of course, this is nothing but pet irresponsibility.

One thing that will stay with me always is what happened to our feral cats up on Ski Mountain. Many years ago a bunch of us would feed the feral cats behind the ice rink at Ober Gatlinburg. Many of those cats came to my house, too, since we’re right below there. Then, all of a sudden, no cats. I later learned that the cats had been exterminated in such a manner that no one would tell me what happened to them. I can only guess.

April’s organization is located at 134 Court Ave., Sevierville. April has big ideas for this charity, as someone recently donated about 10 acres for her work.

I felt it necessary that those of you who care should know about this organization and this dedicated woman.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Fulmer talks Dooley, conference expansion Former coach talks SEC, Tennessee at The Lord’s Child Golf Tournament

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Even as he made an appearance at The Lord’s Child Golf Tournament, former University of Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer was talking football.

Asked his opinion of several college football issues on the minds’ of local football fans, the coach was quick to answer with candid insight.

The top matter at hand, of course, was Tennessee football and the team’s new coach Derek Dooley.

“I think (Dooley) at least understands the culture that we have at Tennessee.

He’s been around the Southeastern Conference,” Fulmer said. “He’s got some great lineage with his dad being so successful. We’ll have to see. He’s got a hard job. The first thing you’ve got to be is to be strong internally, and that’s a challenge right now.”

Fulmer said the young coach contacted him early on, and they’ve talked a couple of times.

“I’ll help him any way I can, he reached out to me right away and was very

I’ll help him any way I can.”

In a fleeting comment that was difficult to interpret, it seemed that Fulmer thinks Dooley’s most difficult obstacle may be athletic director Mike Hamilton, the man behind Fulmer’s departure from UT. “My problem (with

Tennessee) is internal management. Something’s got to be a little bit more help to the coach,” Fulmer said.

Earlier in the interview Fulmer discussed the current state of flux among college football’s biggest conferences.

“You knew it was coming sooner or later because the television dollars are so big,” Fulmer said. “Some conferences haven’t been

able to emulate what we’ve done in the Southeastern Conference with the SEC Championship Game, which right now is really the semifinals to the national championship.

“I think other schools are seeing that and trying to emulate it any way they can.”

Still Fulmer said the expansion talk was mainly just that.

“There was a lot of talk,

but there were really just four teams that moved,” Fulmer said. “If it happened as they were talking about it happening, it could have been really interesting. Four teams is not going to make a huge difference at this point. The Pac-10 was trying to get Texas and those schools, if they were able to pull that off that would have been big news, getting Utah and Colorado is probably not

as big of news.”

With rumors last week discussing possible SEC expansion, including Texas A&M, the coach added his two cents on that.

“There was a lot of talk about A&M, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Florida State and Miami. I think when the Southeastern Conference gets ready to expand they’ll be able to cherry-pick what they want,” Fulmer said.

Would the Aggies be a fit?

“That’s pretty far, College Station, Texas, but it’s probably not unreasonable,” Fulmer said. “They would have fit in fine, but they probably fit where they are a whole lot better, because SEC football is not really a place to go and start winning championships.”

Fulmer’s 2004 Vols pummeled the Aggies in the 2005 Cotton Bowl 38-7, giving the coach a spotless 1-0 record against A&M. As for this fall, Fulmer plan to continue doing some broadcast work.

“I’m working on right now the contract with CBS and how all that’s going to work out,” Fulmer said. “I did enjoy it (last season).

I limit my number of trips to New York — that almost becomes like a full-time job if you’re not careful ­— it looks like that’s what I’m going to do though.”

FIFA WORLD CUP

US team’s World Cup fate will be determined today

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

Incoming Tennessee freshman Jordan McRae is fouled by Choice Spine’s Kashif Watson while going for a dunk in the waning minutes of DeRoyal’s 133-113 win Monday night at Bearden.

PILOT ROCKY TOP LEAGUE

Locals in Rocky Top League; newcomer Jordan McRae, point guard Goins shine

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — It was a match-up between student and master that went unfulfilled.

The Monday night Pilot Rocky Top League contest between DeRoyal Industries (3-0) and Choice Spine (1-2) was an opportunity for GatlinburgPittman head basketball coach Raul Placeres and rising Highlanders senior Jose Agosto to square off against each other in front of a packed house at Bearden High School.

Only problem was, Agosto wasn’t able to make the game that night.

“He’s still over in Gatlinburg,” said Placeres, following his team’s 133-113

blowout win over Choice Spine. “He just had a hard time getting a ride over here tonight and wasn’t able to make it.”

In limited playing time, Placeres finished the contest with just two points on 1-of-6 shooting, although one of those shots was a missed heave from near half court at the final buzzer. The G-P coach’s real contributions were eight assists, four rebounds and two steals in the win.

Incoming University of Tennessee Vols freshman Jordan McRae put on another offensive show with a teamhigh 28 points, but rising Vols senior guard Melvin Goins had the crowdpleasing windmill dunk of the night in the game’s final minutes.

Placeres’ playing time with DeRoyal has been limited this Rocky Top season because Goins has been handling the point guard position most of the time.

Tuesday, Placeres received some good news from the commissioner of the league. He was transferred to the First Tennessee team (2-1) because that squad lost two guards for the remainder of the season.

“I’m definitely happy about it,” said Placeres about the move to First Tennessee. “I’ll be getting a lot more playing time, and I’ve still got enough game to play in this league, and now I’ll have a chance to prove that.” chitchcock@themountainpress.com

PRETORIA, South Africa — One more game, one last chance to make their reputation.

When the Americans play Algeria at the World Cup on Wednesday they’ll either live up to all the hype and earn a spot among the final 16 teams — or fall painfully short of their long-stated goal and lose a watershed opportunity.

“We have a great chance tomorrow night to get a win and advance on to the second round,” captain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday. “It’s important for us because we had that disappointment in ’06. It’s not really extra motivation, but it’s just in the back of our minds. You work so hard and you train for so long for the World Cup, and it can be over so quickly if you don’t advance.”

A victory or possibly a tie would move the United States into the knockout rounds on a high that will set off midday celebrations back home. Replicate the loss to Ghana that knocked the U.S. out in 2006, and it will start a new round of soul-searching for that could cost coach Bob Bradley his job — not to mention dampening the burgeoning enthusiasm for soccer in America.

Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the U.S. has alternated firstround elimination (’90, ’98 and ’06) with a second-round appearance at home in 1994 and a trip to the quarterfinals in South Korea in 2002.

This World Cup started with a come-frombehind 1-1 tie against glamorous England. Then the Americans trailed Slovenia by two goals at halftime only to fight back as Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley scored for a 2-2 draw. They appeared to go ahead, but Maurice Edu’s 85th-minute goal was disallowed for reasons referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali didn’t explain.

“We’re not going to worry about any calls or anything like that getting us down,” Bocanegra said.

“We had a good second half and hopefully we can continue with that momentum and put that into the Algeria game.”

The U.S. has never before faced the Desert Foxes, who have yet to score in this tournament following a 1-0 loss to Slovenia and a 0-0 draw against England. Algeria can advance only with a win, and Les Fennecs coach Rabah Saadane repeatedly used the phrase “God willing” in reference to a victory.

“We are in a good mood to make our people back home very happy,” Algeria captain Antar Yahia said.

A win would send the U.S. to a second-round matchup this weekend with Germany, Ghana, Serbia or Australia, and another big television audience for American soccer.

With France knocked out, and England, Germany, defending champion Italy and Spain all uncertain of reaching the knockout stage, the U.S. could find itself in a fairly wide-open tournament if it advances.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 â—† The Mountain Press RACING WITH RICH

Travel distance can be an enemy for race drivers After personally experiencing the rigors of a cross country flight in recent days I can attest to the fact that the human body and brain are altered after such a journey. It would seem as though the travel schedules of some paid dividends this weekend while others suffered after long treks.

This weekend three NASCAR drivers made a trip from their home base in Charlotte to California, then from California to Wisconsin and back to California again. With the Sprint Cup Series racing in Sonoma, California and the Nationwide Series racing in Elkhart Lake,

Wisconsin those who participate in both series’ fulltime were put to their most grueling back and forth trip of the season.

Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski and Paul Menard each made these cross country jaunts during the short time span of three days.

Edwards won the Nationwide race on Saturday while Keselowski finished fourth and

Menard took sixteenth.

However, the results that ought to matter most came in on Sunday in Sonoma.

In that race each disappointed. Edwards was 29th, Keselowski was 35th and Menard came home 22nd.

Whether the travel had anything to do with their poor performances on Sunday is debatable. But even that the debate is being considered seems completely without logic to me. I cannot understand why drivers who have reached the top level of their sport want to go back and race fulltime at a lower level. To run a few Nationwide Series races

here and there would seem worthwhile, but taking on the whole schedule appears to run the risk of jeopardizing that which matters most.

Perhaps there is nothing out of sorts with all that travel but risking a Sprint Cup race to compete for a Nationwide championship would not be my choice.

On the other hand, two east Tennessee drivers took full advantage of racing close to home this past weekend.

Mooresburg’s Scott Bloomquist and Newport’s Jimmy Owens came into a three race east Tennessee swing leading the competition of the Lucas Oil Late

Model Dirt Series. They ended the weekend having swept three victories and widening the gap between themselves and their closest rivals.

Owens won on Thursday night at the Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee. He then turned around and scored a second consecutive victory at the Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap. Unfortunately for the ‘Newport Nightmare’, Saturday did not go so well as he had troubles during qualifying and was forced to a back up car. He finished 14th in that race.

But where one local driver left off on Saturday,

the other picked up.

Bloomquist registered the 491st feature win of his career in the second of the Bulls Gap doubleheader weekend.

Bloomquist leads the series standings by 140 points over Owens.

The contrast of traveling long distances for some and short distances for others seems to have resulted in a far different outcomes for each set of drivers. There must be something to be said for consistency of bodily schedules in these two examples.

Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal win Wimbledon openers

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams finished with an ace and a curtsy, showing she’s ready for the queen and a lot more at Wimbledon.

The defending champion won her opening match Tuesday, relying on an overpowering serve to beat 17-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal 6-0, 6-4.

Williams won all 27 points on her first serve and hit 15 aces, the last on her final shot. As the crowd applauded her victory, Williams curtsied, mindful Queen Elizabeth II is expected to visit Wimbledon for the first time since 1977 on Thursday.

Williams plays her second-round match that day and has been practicing her curtsy. “I want it to be more natural,� she said. “Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I’ve never done a curtsy before, which may be true.

But I’m looking forward to nailing it.�

The queen may also get to see top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who advanced by beating Japanese wild card Kei Nishikori 6-2, 6-4, 6-4.

It was Nadal’s first match at Wimbledon since he became the 2008 champion; he missed last year’s

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — Maybe Uruguay is the best example of how strong South American nations have been in the first round of the World Cup. The last team to qualify for the tournament, Uruguay needed to beat Costa Rica in a playoff to get to South Africa. The Uruguayans have looked like anything but an outsider, though, and on Tuesday beat Mexico 1-0 to win Group A. “We knew we had two results that benefited us,� said Luis Suarez, who scored the only goal. “But before the match our goal was to get the three points and be group leaders “Luckily we reached out first goal, which was to advance from the first round.�

Aravane Rezai complained that Larcher de Britoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shrieks were too loud, and the noise drew considerable attention from the British media at Wimbledon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything with my grunting, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to answer,â&#x20AC;?

Larcher de Brito said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go down the same road again.â&#x20AC;?

Williams grunted, too.

There were some vigorous rallies down the stretch, with Larcher de Brito holding her own as both players scrambled along the baseline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She definitely packs a punch,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good for me because most people that do play nowadays hit really hard.

It was good to get someone that hit really hard early on.â&#x20AC;?

Williams packed the bigger punch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she finished with 47 winners to six for Larcher de Brito, many on serves that reached up to 119 mph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even about the pace, because I could deal with that,â&#x20AC;? Larcher de Brito

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But she places it so well. When she aims for targets, she really hits that line or just clips that line.â&#x20AC;?

In the final game, Williams hit a service winner and three aces to close out the victory. She said poor serving cost her when she was upset by Stosur in the quarterfinals at the French Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I served so terrible my last match at the French,â&#x20AC;?

Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went home and worked really hard on my serve. I was incredibly disappointed with it. Had a talk with my serve. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;You know, we got to do a

little bit better.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Williams reached double figures in aces for the eighth time this year, most on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour. She has won 58 of her past 59 matches against players ranked outside the top 100.

Nadal was in control from the start against Nishikori, and the Spaniard lost serve only once while committing just 16 unforced errors.

Nadal, who won his fifth French Open title this month, is seeded second at Wimbledon to six-time champion Roger Federer.

The two could meet in the final.

Fulmer was present at the golf tournament to help a cause he believes in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which helps impoverished children in rural Appalachia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get asked to do a lot of different charities, and that would be a lot of time spent, or could be, so you have to be somewhat selective about it,â&#x20AC;? Fulmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After (David May and Joey Mathews) told me it was for the children of Appalachia, whether it be at Christmas time or school starting or to put food on the table, how could you say no? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a great passion for children, and particularly young peo-

ple in East Tennessee in the Appalachian area,â&#x20AC;?

Fulmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great cause. You see the picture on the side of the truck with the little girl with the sad eyes, and having three daughters myself and a son that have been very blessed ... it makes you feel good to do something and give something back, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that it will grow from here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-denominational, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for anybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in young people and children that are less fortunate, and I would encourage them to get involved with The Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child and particularly the golf tournament next year.â&#x20AC;? mpsports@themountainpress.com

Family conflict brought on by missing money

Dear Annie: Last week, our 22-year-old grandson flew in for a visit from college. We celebrated with lots of barbecues and swimming. The entire family was here for the weekend -- our older son, his live-in girlfriend and her 17-year-old daughter, along with our younger son, his wife and their three teenage girls.

On the morning of my grandson’s departure, he noticed that a $100 bill from his wallet was missing. He also found a hair barrette on the floor near the dresser.

The 17-year-old is the only child who wore barrettes. But our 16-yearold granddaughter has a history of lying. None of the bedroom doors has a lock, and with all the confusion of changing clothes after swimming, anyone could have entered the bedroom and stolen the money.

We reimbursed our grandson for his loss, but here is our dilemma: Our sons were notified of the missing $100, but they both said they did not believe their children were involved. We don’t know if either of the girls in question was told.

Do we broach the subject next time we are in the company of either of the girls, or should we just let it go and do a better job securing our money when they are in the house? -- Saddened Dear Saddened: Four teenagers and four adults were guests in your home, and any one of them could have taken the money. You have notified your sons, and the rest is up to them.

Unless you want this to

become an issue every time you see the family, you will have to let it go. Sorry to say, the next time the kids visit, you might want to lock up any rooms that have valuables in them.

Dear Annie: My husband has subscribed to adult magazines since the early 90s. I have no problem with that, but I hate that he collects the magazines and stores them in dozens of boxes in our garage, taking up space we could use for other things.

At any given moment, there are 10 such magazines in bathrooms frequented in some cases by guests, and also by our growing children. I have spoken to him about this, and he either changes the subject or tells me to stop nagging. He says the magazines will be collectors’ items one day.

Is this true? Could I just toss them?

I am ready to take whatever action is necessary to get the magazines out of my home, even if it means I have to do it without his knowledge.

I know more will take their place. -- Hate the Trash Dear Hate: It’s possible these magazines may someday be worth money, but probably not as much as your husband believes. Suggest he check out their value online, and if he still plans to sell them, they need to be in good con-

dition, not scattered around the house. Tell him to rent storage space elsewhere, or you will throw them out. Then he can decide how much they are worth to him.

Dear Annie: Your response to “Concerned Grandparent” really aggravated me. She asked whether a 7-year-old girl was right to tell Dad that she saw her mom kissing another man. I agree that a 7-year-old couldn’t possibly know what sort of response is appropriate.

However, you blamed Dad for not controlling his emotional outburst, which was directed at the child. At no point did you address the cheating wife.

She is the only guilty party in the entire mess.

The father’s reaction was understandable. But it’s the mother who caused the problem. Quit covering for the bad behavior of cheating wives. -Lafayette, Ind. Dear Lafayette: No one’s covering for anybody. The question was how to help the child.

After three years, Dad still cannot control his reaction in front of his daughter, which makes her feel responsible. The entire family needs help.

Magazine comments put job of Afghan commander in jeopardy

By ANNE GEARAN Associated Press Writer

Associated Press

Catacomb archeological superintendent Fabrizio Bisconti shows the earliest known icons of the Apostles Peter and Paul discovered in a catacomb located under a modern office building in a residential neighborhood of Rome.

Icons from 4th century of apostles found in Rome

By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press Writer ROME â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The earliest known icons of the Apostles Peter and Paul have been discovered in a catacomb under an eight-story modern office building in a working-class neighborhood of Rome, Vatican officials said Tuesday.

The images, which date from the second half of the 4th century, were discovered on the ceiling of a tomb that also includes the earliest known images of the apostles John and Andrew. They were uncovered using a new laser technique that allowed restorers to burn off centuries of thick white calcium carbonate deposits without damaging the dark colors of the original paintings underneath.

The paintings adorn what is believed to be the tomb of a Roman noblewoman in the Santa Tecla catacomb and represent some of the earliest evidence of devotion to the apostles in early Christianity, Vatican officials said in opening up the tomb to the media for the first time.

Last June, the Vatican announced the discovery of the icon of Paul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; timed to coincide with the end of the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pauline year. At the time, Pope Benedict XVI also announced that tests on bone fragments long attrib-

uted to Paul â&#x20AC;&#x153;seemed to confirmâ&#x20AC;? that they did indeed belong to the Roman Catholic saint.

On Tuesday, Vatican archaeologists announced that the image of Paul discovered last year was not found in isolation, but was rather part of a square ceiling painting that also included icons of three other apostles - Peter, John and Andrew - surrounding an image of Christ as the Good Shepherd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the first images of the apostles,â&#x20AC;? said Fabrizio Bisconti, the superintendent of archaeology for the catacombs, which are maintained by the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pontifical Commission of Sacred Archaeology.

The Vatican office oversaw and paid for the two-year, euro60,000 restoration effort, which for the first time used lasers to restore frescoes and paintings in catacombs. The damp, musty air of underground catacombs makes preservation of paintings particularly difficult and restoration problematic.

In this case, the small burial chamber at the end of the catacomb was completely encased in centimeters (inches) of white calcium carbonate, which under previous restoration techniques would have just been scraped away by hand. That technique, though would have left a filmy layer on top so as to not damage the paintings underneath.

Obama budget director resigns WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; White House Budget Director Peter Orszag says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepping down next month, positioning him to be the first high-profile member of President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team to depart the administration.

Orszag confirmed his planned resignation in a brief interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said he views passage of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery act as his most significant accomplishment.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a number of very talented candidatesâ&#x20AC;? were being considered to replace Orszag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter has served alongside and within a valuable economic team that has faced the greatest economic crisis any president has faced since the great depression. It is an enormous task,â&#x20AC;? Gibbs said.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A furious President Barack Obama weighed whether to fire his Afghan war commander at a perilous time in the conflict as he summoned Gen. Stanley McChrystal to Washington to explain disparaging comments about his political masters.

McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaints about his commander in chief and Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aides put his job in jeopardy. Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x153;the magnitude and greatness of the mistake here are profoundâ&#x20AC;? and repeatedly declined to say McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job was safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All options are on the table,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the commanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments in Rolling Stone magazine were â&#x20AC;&#x153;distractionsâ&#x20AC;? to the war in Afghanistan.

McChrystal publicly apologized Tuesday for using â&#x20AC;&#x153;poor judgmentâ&#x20AC;? in interviews for the magazine. He then left Afghanistan to appear, as ordered by Obama, at the White House on Wednesday.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be expected to explain his comments to the president and Pentagon officials who, as Gibbs put it, want â&#x20AC;&#x153;to see what in the world he was thinking.â&#x20AC;? The presidential spokesman said Obama acknowledged McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apology and believed he deserved a chance to explain himself.

However, military leaders rarely challenge their commander in chief publicly and when they do, consequences tend to go beyond a scolding. And Gibbs

left little doubt that a firing was probably in the offing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our efforts in Afghanistan are bigger than one person,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters several times.

A decision on McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future will be announced by the White House after Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Gibbs said.

Obama appointed McChrystal to lead the Afghan war in May 2009. Despite a continuing troop buildup, progress has been halting, with U.S. casualties rising, public support waning and tensions growing between Washington and Kabul.

Practically the only expression of confidence in McChrystal on Tuesday came from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who issued a statement calling the general the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;best commanderâ&#x20AC;? of the war. Karzai spokesman Waheed Omar said Karzai hoped that Obama doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide to replace him.

A top military official in Afghanistan told AP that McChrystal hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been told whether he will be allowed to keep his job. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions between Washington and the generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Kabul.

Gibbs said McChrystal had not offered his resignation, in part because he has not yet spoken to or seen Obama, who was angry when his press secretary gave him the story Monday night.

Gibbs refused to describe how angry the president was, except to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would know it if you saw it.â&#x20AC;?
