Rental agency closing a concern

INSIDE

By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer

5Making his mark G-P senior playing in Rocky Top League

GATLINBURG — The abrupt closing of a cabin rental agency here has left cabin owners and renters scrambling to find a replacement, and has led a stage agency to open an investigation into the case.

Fontaine Cabin Rentals and Realty closed earlier this month, with little notice to the owners of the cabins the com-

pany managed and, apparently, less notice to people who had already rented the facilities.

The company’s Web site says it closed due to health concerns, which matches the reason given to cabin owners when they received letters saying Fontaine was ceasing operations immediately.

“Due to health issues, Fontaine Cabin Rentals has closed,” the Web site now says. “For information on future reservations,

call (865) 436-3323.”

When a reporter from The Mountain Press called that number, the answering service said the mailbox was full.

Christopher Garrett, spokesman for the Tennessee Real Estate Commission, said the agency has received five complaints about Fontaine.

“The TREC sent an auditor by last week to investigate; our investigator is still in the process of gathering information,”

Garrett said.

The TREC asks anyone who has a complaint related to Fontaine to call 615-741-2273.

Depending on the results of that preliminary investigation, the matter could be presented to the real estate commission for action, he said.

Several callers to the newspaper said the company was owned by Robert and Libby Vick of Gatlinburg, and the

Classifieds adopts new look Readers of The Mountain Press will notice a new look to our classifieds section today.

The section has gone from a nine-column format to six columns. There also is a new ad management system that should make things easier for the people placing those ads.

“This is a more modern system for handling classified ads,” Joi Whaley, advertising director at

The Mountain Press, said. “We think those who place the ads will like it, and we know those who read the classifieds will notice the change and like it as well.”

There will be some new classifications, and the rates have increased slightly because of the new format.

Those placing ads will find it easier to charge the costs on

their credit cards, and for those at the newspaper taking the ads, the system should be easier to operate and a lot more efficient, Whaley said.

To place a classified ad call us at 428-0748, ext. 201, or go to our Web site, www.themountainpress.com, to do it online.

Someone from our office will call you back if you place the classified through our Web site.

Sevierville police have filed DUI and vehicular assault charges against the driver of a tractor-trailer rig that overturned on E. Dumplin Valley Road Monday and left the road closed for about six hours.

Alonso Geray Aguilar, 35, of Cantille, Texas, was being held Tuesday at the Sevier County Jail.

Officer John Turner reported that after the accident, Aguilar smelled of alcohol and eventually admitted to drinking four 24-ounce cans of beer before getting behind the wheel of his vehicle, according to the warrant Turner filed on Aguilar.

Aguilar also failed his field sobriety tests, the warrant stated.

A man riding in the truck suffered a laceration to his head, but declined transport to a hospital.

Aguilar allegedly caused his tractor-trailer to overturn on E. Dumplin Valley Road while it was carrying more than 40,000 pounds of onions. Before crews could work to turn the truck upright and tow it away, they had to move the onions to another truck.

The incident left the road closed for about six hours, officials said.

On Thursday, he will Ogle leave his “interim” status behind and become the school’s new administrator.

“They had told me it was an interim position, but if I liked it, I was welcome to apply for the job,” said Ogle, a Sevier County native. “I’ve had a ball here. The kids at Jones Cove are eager, willing and able to do whatever task you lay before them, and they’re very well-behaved.

Newfound Gap Road project OK’d Submitted Report The National Park Service has completed an environmental assessment of its planned Newfound Gap Road reconstruction and has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact on the natural and cultural resources of the park.

This finding clears the way for the Federal Highway Administration to contract for the rehabilitation of the 14.5 miles of Newfound Gap Road from the entrance at Gatlinburg to the Tennesee-North Carolina line at Newfound Gap. Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson said, “This action is needed to For Tickets

address the deterioration of the pavement, safety concerns, and rehabilitation of the historic cut stone guardwalls, most of which were constructed about 70 years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The road and wall conditions continue to deteriorate, increasing the park’s routine maintenance and intermittent repair costs as well as posing safety hazards.�

Park officials say the work will take place in three phases over the next six to seven years beginning with the first two miles of the road which descends north from Newfound Gap into Tennessee. That first

phase is expected to begin reviewed at park headin November of this year. quarters near Gatlinburg. “We are very sensitive to the impact that road construction can have on our neighboring gateway communities,� Ditmanson said. “We reached out to our community leaders on both sides of the Park during this process to inform them of the purpose of and need for the work, along with the options being considered for timely completion of the project.

We will make every effort to schedule the work so as to minimize traffic disruptions during peak visitation periods.�

In this March 7 photo, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James arrive at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood, Calif. Bullock won the best actress award for her role in “The Blind Side.”

Bullock, James finalize divorce LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are divorced.

A court clerk in Austin, Texas, confirmed that the divorce between the Oscar-winning actress and celebrity biker was finalized Monday. Bullock filed to end the marriage in April after reports surfaced that James had been unfaithful.

Details of the settlement were sealed by the court, but Bullock’s initial filing cited “discord or conflict of personalities” as grounds for the divorce.

An attorney for Bullock did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press on Tuesday, but her publicist, Cheryl Maisel, confirmed the couple’s split was complete.

James’ publicist, Monique Huey-Jones, declined to comment Tuesday.

The actress and “Monster Garage” star met in 2003 and married in 2005. It seemed like an odd pairing — the movie star often called “America’s Sweetheart” marrying the tattooed biker who had been wed twice before.

It was the first marriage for Bullock, who became a devoted stepmom to James’ children: Sunny, 6; Jesse Jr., 12; and Chandler, 15.

mailbox message stated the number belonged to Robert Vick. The Vicks’ residential number is not in service.

The number listed in the phone book for Fontaine Cabin Rentals is 436-4944.

Calls to that number were not answered at all.

The site also stated the managers asked for patience due to the large number of calls.

“We are sorry for your inconvenience,” it stated.

“We are working to insure (sic) that your stay is not interrupted by the unfortunate timing of closure of the company.”

Karen McKnight of Kentucky is the owner of one of the cabins managed

by Fontaine. She said she had owned the cabin for about 10 years, but Fontaine only started managing it in the last year.

She heard from friends early on that the owners of the company had called in employees on a Monday and told them the business was closing immediately.

McKnight was told they then sent the employees home.

They later received a letter from Fontaine saying the business was closing.

“The letter basically said

they were closing immediately for illness,” she said.

“It didn’t say who was sick but (that there was an) illness, and our mid month statements would be processed as soon as possible.”

McKnight said she hadn’t had any trouble getting her money from Fontaine, but she thought they could have managed the closure better.

“We had questions about what if we had reservations booked already,” she said.

“We checked thew Web site and it’s completely shut down...

“We’ve heard they were rand we’ve heard people are showing up on the mountain thinking they have reservations.”

The closing has also become a topic on the tripadvisor.com, a travel Web site.

The first listing was dated June 24, when the poster states they were told it closed the previous week.

It notes the owners were not returning phone calls or emails.

Another poster said she had rented one of the Fontaine cabins for her son’s honeymoon for the Fourth of July weekend. She was eventually able to contact the new rental agency managing the cabin, only to find it had been rented to another party for the same dates.

Pigeon Forge action may delay project, save money

By DEREK HODGES Staff writer

PIGEON FORGE — City leaders have voted to approve a move they believe could save tax dollars, though it will likely delay long-planned work to improve Birds Creek Road — something they blame on an oversight on the part of state transportation officials.

At issue is an 8-inch water line buried next to the current course of the road that runs to Catons Chapel Elementary. The line will have to be moved, and state law requires that the owner of any such utility must pay for that relocation.

The state has been promising Sevier County officials for years that work will be done on

the winding road. With federal dollars from last year’s stimulus act, state leaders jumped on the chance to complete the Birds Creek project.

The work, which has already started, will involve replacing several bridges and moving the roadbed in a number of places.

That will allow curves and hills to be taken out to make the ride better and safer.

However, that work may be set back because, Pigeon Forge leaders say, state officials didn’t make a plan for the relocation of utilities. That meant city officials weren’t included on any of the pre-construction meetings and only recently learned they’ll need to move the water line — which was installed to serve the school, but is outside

any city.

State leaders recommended the city hire Charles Blalock & Sons Construction, the contractor completing the road project.

That could mean the city won’t have to design the new route for the pipe. Additionally, the state promised it would write a letter the city could give to its auditors over why bids weren’t solicited.

That didn’t sit well with Pigeon Forge’s commissioners. Mayor Keith Whaley worried the move could mean the city ends up paying more than it needs to because there’s no competition for the project.

“I don’t want to hold anyone up, but I also want to get the best deal we can for the residents,” Whaley said.

During Monday’s meeting,

the group voted to approve an agreement with engineering firm Wilbur Smith Associates to complete design work on the water line relocation. Additionally, several other efforts, including making plans to repaint the line along Upper MIddle Creek Road, are included.

During the session, the group also voted to approve: n Ordinance 907 to set the property tax rate for the coming year (second reading) n Ordinance 908 to set the budget (second reading) n Ordinance 909 to update the building code (first reading) n Ordinance 910 covering budget amendments (first reading) n Donating excess exercise equipment to Pigeon Forge High

Stocks plunge on trader unease NEW YORK (AP) — No matter where they look, investors are seeing economic trouble.

Stocks and interest rates plunged Tuesday after signs of slowing economies from China to the U.S. spooked traders who were already uneasy about a global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 268 points, or 2.7 percent, and dropped below 10,000. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at its lowest level since October.

Interest rates fell in the Treasury market after demand for the safety of government debt grew. The yield on the 10-year note dropped to 2.95 percent, the first time it has fallen below 3 percent since April 2009, when the markets were in the early stages of their recovery from the financial crisis. The yield is used as a benchmark for many consumer loans and mortgages.

The markets began the day by following Asian and European stocks lower. Asian exchanges fell after an index that forecasts economic activity for China was revised lower.

European stocks continued the slide after Greek workers walked off the job to protest steep budget cuts.

Then, shortly after U.S. trading began, the market was hit with news that consumer confidence fell sharply this month because of worries about jobs

adjoined the waiting areas and the Dolly Parton Birthing Unit.

“With more patients coming in, we’ve identified new services and programs that can be offered in areas like cardiology and the Breast Center.”

Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health gave the facility its approval and provided Bloodborne Pathogens Policy education and training for employees.

“We had a bit of condensation build-up because of the temperature changing, but it hasn’t interrupted anything,” Wilhoit said. “(Construction company) Rentenbach still has someone on site, and they’re just a phone call away.

Our engineering director, Wayne Spence, is also retired from Rentenbach. He has full knowledge of how the facility was built.”

Plans for two additional operating rooms and additional buildings on campus have been drawn.

“We’ve done several public tours, and we continue to welcome people to see the facility,” Wilhoit said.

Now that the physicians have settled into the facility, Burke said there is more time to recruit fellow physicians — and it tends to be an easy sell.

“I bring my family here, so I want it to be as good as it can be,” he said.

The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index fell to 52.9 from a revised 62.7 in May. It was the steepest drop since February and economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast only a modest dip.

Investors are also anxious as they wait for the Labor

Department’s monthly employment report on Friday. Companies have indicated that business is getting better, yet there are few signs that they are ready to hire in big numbers. The government is expected to say that the unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage point to 9.8 percent in June.

ing with whatever they can.”

Ogle, who attended Catons Chapel Elementary School and GatlinburgPittman High School, credits teachers like Tammy Parton and Charlotte Manning for inspiring him to go into the education field.

“They’re what I would call master teachers,” he said. “They were able to draw you in and involve you in the learning process in a fun, stimulating way.”

Ogle has a bachelor of science degree from Tennessee Technological University and a master of science in supervision and administration from the University of Tennessee.

He began his career in 2000 as an English teacher at Pigeon Forge High School. In 2008, he became the assistant principal of Seymour Middle School, where he stayed until his December move to Jones Cove.

His plans for the school include establishing “some sort of parent-teacher organization” where par-

ents can have direct input.

“The parents and faculty never fail to rise to the occasion; they’re so willing to give their time and energy.”

Ogle and his wife, Carrie, have three sons: Dylan, 10; Atticus, 4 (yes, named after the character in “To Kill a Mockingbird”); and Elijah, 1.

He says he has been able to establish an easy rapport with the students, who get a kick out of the comic book action figures he displays in his office.

“I believe the three most important things are the safety of the students, having the best education tools and the happiness of the students,” Ogle said.

“The best part of the job is working with the students and seeing the wonder on their faces.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Historic facility in need of repair COLUMBIA (AP) — Columbia city officials are trying to save a one-time funeral home believed to have been one of the longest serving black-owned businesses in the country.

Mrs. A.J. Morton and Sons Funeral Home closed 20 years ago. The building has a faded facade and is in major disrepair.

City Councilwoman Christa Martin said she will meet with several organizations to discuss saving the building.

“This is a major piece of history,” she said.

“Hopefully the community will rally around this building.”

According to The Daily Herald, the business is believed to have opened in the 1890s.

Maury County historian Bob Duncan said it is representative of many black establishments in the city that overcame struggles.

“It was the scene of an early black entrepreneur’s business days when black folks had a

hard time starting businesses,” he said. “... If we think black history is important it’s important.”

It also occupies a place in the civil rights movement.

Trent Ogilvie, director of the Columbia Housing Authority, said the funeral home is nestled in the business district near where racial disturbances broke out in 1946.

“It is a treasure,” he said. “When the whole thing happened, that building became a focal

point for the local community.”

Cemora Newsome, granddaughter of Andrew James and Kelly Morton who founded the funeral home, said she has some fond memories of the business. It was in her family for 100 years.

“We buried a lot of people,” she said.

But after the death of her mother and a move to Maryland, Newsome said she had to give up the family business. She said she would love to see the building restored.

commentary

Remember, countries fight wars Early in this decade, with the United States at war in Afghanistan and Iraq, four combat veterans in Congress made the public case for why the nation should reinstate the military draft.

Of the four, Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C., who fought Adolf Hitler’s army in France and Germany, has retired; Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., wounded and decorated in Vietnam, chose to leave the Senate; and Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., a Marine combat veteran in Vietnam, died this year.

Only Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., a Korean War Army veteran, is still in office.

The quartet’s arguments were straightforward. “Why shouldn’t we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility, to pay some price?” Chuck Hagel asked his colleagues.

Their argument, simply stated, came down to this: War is not a spectator sport. War demands equality of sacrifice.

Moral logic tells us that when the country goes to war, it must be everybody’s war, everybody’s risk. The case for universal conscription was summed up this year, according to the respected military writer Tom Ricks, by West Point historian Col. Matthew Moten, who observed that, with a draft, “American parents would have ‘skin in the game’ for this foreign policy.”

As war-tested and war-scarred veterans, Hollings, Hagel, Murtha and Rangel could not be publicly ignored by their non-serving colleagues when they reminded them and us that in proudly classless America, the nation’s uniformed defenders are overwhelmingly the children of America’s working families, whose fathers do not host big-ticket political fundraisers and whose mothers do not wear designer originals and who do not have trust funds waiting for them if they do make it safely home.

Just a little over three decades ago, four out of five members of Congress were veterans of military service.

Today, just 22 percent of the Congress has served. A minority of members of Congress who have no firsthand experience with the military can be chronically skeptical of, even hostile toward, the professional military.

Much more frequently, the reaction toward the military brass of the politician lacking personal service experience is uncritical adoration, bordering on the man-crush. The same is often true of journalists with no personal military experience.

So the basic case for the draft is that civilian Americans ought to understand firsthand and share the sacrifices and the risks of their fellow Americans in the military, and that a more thoughtful, less arrogant, foreign and defense policy could be the product.

But the fall of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, as documented in his own and his closest aides’ undenied quotations in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine, makes a separate and equally strong case for the draft. Just as civilian Americans need to understand how the military lives, so, too, obviously does the military need greater and more sustained exposure to the nation’s civilian values.

What Rolling Stone revealed was a military command living and operating within its own isolated bubble. How else to explain these professionals of high IQs and accomplishment being so obtusely oblivious as to how their juvenile lockerroom insubordination would look in print?

One of the real bonuses of a universal draft, without exemptions, is the constant infusion of civilian experiences and values into the military. The cross-pollination between the two worlds — military and civilian — would be good for both of them and, more importantly, good for the nation.

In his classic work “The Mud Soldiers,” military scholar-reporter George Wilson quoted Army Col. Steve Siegfried, a combat veteran of Vietnam: “Armies don’t fight wars. Countries fight wars ... . A country fights a war. If it doesn’t, then we shouldn’t send an army.”

Amen.

Safety first

With roads packed for holiday travel, drivers should put away that cell phone for a while We’re heading into what will be a busy time for tourism in Sevier County. July and October are our most hectic months of the year, and that’s good for business.

However, it also means many thousands of motorists on the highways, not just headed here, but on their way to destinations throughout the country.

Driving is a challenging activity in the best of times. It becomes even more so when drivers insist on using their cellular telephones while behind the wheel.

Tennessee has a law that prohibits texting while driving. It’s a Class C misdemeanor with a small fine — not much of a deterrent. This is something responsible drivers will simply have to do on their own, because it’s right.

When drivers are distracted by use

of their cell phone, it makes it more dangerous for the rest of us on the road. You’d think they would know that and avoid such usage of their mobile phones, but too many of them don’t. This is a particularly popular thing for young drivers to do — just the people you would hope might pay extra attention to driving duties.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that July 3 and 4 are the two of the most dangerous days on the road. A cell phone can come in handy in a road emergency. It is not such a good idea when driving.

U.S. Cellular offers these wireless road tips for travelers: n If you need to dial a number, pull off the road to a safe location. If possible, use voice-activated dialing and a headset device.

n Have a passenger make and take calls for you or simply wait to use your phone until the vehicle is stopped. n Store an ICE — or In Case of Emergency — contact in your phone’s address book. Program the word “ICE” in front of your contact’s name so they can be contacted quickly. n Don’t send or read text messages/ e-mails or browse the Internet while driving. n Position your phone within easy reach and be familiar with its operation. Make use of the speed-dial and redial features. Other options include hands-free devices like Bluetooth. n Keep a phone charger in your car and make sure your cell phone battery is charged in case of an emergency.

Let’s make this Independence Day vacation the best — and safest — one of all.

Public forum Comparing humans and sheep, you’ll find a lot in common

Editor: I was recently listening for the third or fourth time to a sermon on John 21 where Jesus instructs Simon Peter to “feed my sheep.” I know that Christ refers to his children as sheep over and over again throughout the Bible and to himself as our “Good Shepherd.”

For whatever reason, I began to really wonder exactly what, if anything, we and sheep have in common.

Did you know that sheep were one of the first animals domesticated? They live all over the world and come in different colors, including black, gray, white, red, brown and even blonde. However, I did not find in my research any proof that the blondes were any dumber than the others. Ha!

Regarding hygiene: Just like people, sheep need to be bathed. Males are known to be too smelly to keep. They also need to have their hair cut. It’s called shearing. Sheep enjoy pedicures, or rather “hoof trimming.” This prevents them from getting a fungal infection known as foot rot. I’ve seen a few men with this same problem.

Physically, healthy sheep average a weight of 150-200 pounds, with the males tending to weigh more than the females. I hope as women, we can say the same about our men.

A sheep’s normal heart rate is 70 to 80 beats a minute and they need daily exercise because they have a tendency to overeat.

Sound like someone you know? As a matter of fact, there are even breeds, Afghan Arabi for one, that are known for their fat rumps. I’m really not making this up.

Have you ever heard someone described as mutton faced? Well, old female sheep that are post-menopausal and of no good except for

meat are known as mutton. As for the male sheep, 6-10 percent are homosexuals and others can be horned.

Sheep also have a flock behavior or herd mentality. They follow their peers without thinking. In humans we call them gangs, cults or teenagers. They do have a couple of behavioral rules. They avoid crowding and align themselves with the other sheep. We call this a good neighbor.

Well, no matter what the reason that God refers to us as His sheep, I am thankful He is my shepherd. I try each day to listen for His voice and to follow His steps and not the world’s. (John 10:4 & 5, “He goeth before them, and the sheep follow.” and “A stranger will they not follow.”)

This blonde, fat-rumped, pre-mutton ewe is overjoyed to be one of Christ’s sheep. I pray you are, too.

Shooting star

Sevier County High School sophomore Davis Rader takes aim with his trusty Winchester Select Energy 12-gauge shotgun.

SCHS sophomore wins state trap shooting titles

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Some people might find it scary to imagine a 15-year-old with a loaded shotgun in his hands.

But Davis Rader can’t

imagine life without it.

The Sevier County High School sophomore brought home two state sub-junior trap shooting championships earlier this month, thanks to hours of training with his prized Winchester Select Energy over/under.

Rader, an avid outdoors-

man who exudes charisma, fell in love with shooting as a youngster, accompanying his father, Jeff, and uncles on hunting trips.

“I’ve hunted since I was able to hold a gun to my shoulder,” Rader said. “I love basketball and I love baseball, but if I could find

something that had to do with guns (I’d do that).”

“Jeff and his brothers and his dad, they all hunted. So as soon as Davis could do that he’s been with his dad and uncles,” Rader’s mother, Nancy, said.

About three years ago,

he was introduced to the world of competitive trap shooting.

“One day Dad asked me if I wanted to try (trap shooting),” Rader said.

The pair went to Hog Heaven, a shooting range in White Pine, and it was love at first ‘pull.’

Agosto plays well at Rocky Top League

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — GatlinburgPittman Highlanders rising senior basketball standout Jose Agosto had a great Pilot Rocky Top League performance Monday night at Bearden High School, although his Choice Spine team (1-4) dropped a close one, 124120, to DeRoyal Industries (4-1).

Agosto scored 11 points and grabbed eight boards to go along with two steals in the win, and his Blue-and-Gold high school coach Raul Placeres — who scored six points for First Tennessee (2-3) in an 84-83 last-second late-night loss to News Sentinel (4-1) — enjoyed seeing that his returning player put on a show in the early contest.

“He played really well,” said Placeres. “He’s the only high school kid in the league, really, who’s actually gotten valuable playing time minutes.

“There’s only been one other high school kid score in double digits besides Jose, and I think that happened in the first game of the season.”

“Jose did it against one of the best teams, the team that’s tied for first place. I was excited for Jose.”

Agosto will be the leader for the upcoming 2010-11 G-P season, although he’ll be helped by fellow rising senior standout Morrease Barber.

In July, Agosto and Barber plan to travel to Louisville, Ky., Orlando and Indianapolis for AAU tournaments playing for the Knoxville Panthers.

“I’m getting calls about them every day,” said Placeres. “There’s a lot of schools showing interest in them, and it’s going to be fun to see how they play this summer, and how that leads into their college recruiting for next year.”

The Highlanders team has disbanded for the mandatory TSSAA

dead period, but the Blue and Gold had a successful summer camp, tallying an 18-3 mark and defeating such squads as Knoxville West, Anderson County, Maryville and a couple of tough Atlantabased teams.

“We had a very good summer,” said Placeres. “This summer was good for our development as a team, and basketball in general is looking promising for the entire county. There’s going to be some good basketball played here this year by all the schools in Sevier County.”

The Highlanders understand they’ll have to be ready to play this winter just to compete in District 3-AA. “There are eight potential Division-I kids playing in our district this year,” said Placeres. “Our district could possibly be the best district in the state, hands down.

“Potentially, heading into the season, there could be four of the top-10 teams in the state in our district with us, Fulton, Carter and Austin-East.”

Leading the G-P offense will be returning senior guard Jon McCroskey, and rising senior Garrett Buckner and returning sophomore Davis Soehn will be counted on to play large roles.

Rising 6-foot-3 sophomore Blade Durbin, rising 6-foot-5 junior Matt Hinton and rising freshman Clay Leatherwood have also shown some signs of maturity and should see some quality varsity minutes this winter.

Rising seniors Jeremy Hibbard and Ryan Taylor are now with the basketball team after last playing as freshmen. Rising junior Tye Harold will be in his first year with the G-P team.

“I’m excited to have those guys Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press join the team,” said Placeres.

“They’ve shown me some good Gatlinburg-Pittman rising senior Jose Agosto drives in for a basket during his junior campaign with the things at summer camp.”

“I shot really well for being my first time,” Rader said. “I was just eaten up with it then.”

SOUTHERN LEAGUE BASEBALL

Smokies downed by Jaxx 9-6

JACKSON — Early runs for West Tenn helped the Diamond Jaxx cling to an 9-6 victory over the Tennessee Smokies in the first game of a six-game series Monday night at Pringles Park.

After a rain delay of more than an hour, West Tenn scored seven of their eight runs against Tennessee starter Rafael Dolis, who pitched just three innings in his Southern League debut. Only three of Dolis’ runs were earned, however, thanks to two early errors by Tennessee shortstop Nate Samson.

Anthony Varvaro took the win in relief for West Tenn, retiring all seven batters he faced in order without allowing a hit, striking out three in the process.

The loss drops Tennessee 1-1/2 games behind the Chattanooga Lookouts for the second half North Division lead.

Dolis left the game with the Smokies trailing 7-3, but Tennessee put runs on the board to rally back to within two.

Centerfielder and 2009 Cubs first round draft selection Brett Jackson hit his second homer in as many days with the Smokies in the top of the fifth to cut the lead to 7-5.

The Diamond Jaxx responded with a run in the bottom of the sixth, however, to make it 8-5.

Josh Vitters delivered the final score of the night for the Smokies with a solo homer in the top of the eighth, but the Diamond Jaxx plated a run in the bottom of the same inning to make it the eventual final.

Knoxville native Nick Hill pitched a scoreless top of the ninth to earn his first save of the season.

Blake Lalli turned in the best performance at the plate for Tennessee, going 3-for-4 with an RBI. From submitted reports

shooting together. “We compete like crazy.

It’s all the time who’s shot higher,� Rader said. “He beat me last (time), but I’ve still got the high score overall. He loves it to death. He hates that his son that’s 30-something years younger than him can beat him — consistently. We always compete and give each other a hard time.�

In fact, Rader said there’s nothing that bothers him worse than seeing his dad miss a clay. “I love beating the crap out of him, but I hate seeing him miss,� Rader said.

The boy’s first competitive shooting match further cemented his love for the sport.

Despite losing by two targets Rader had a good showing. “I was like, if I can do this my first shoot, I can start winning stuff,� he said.

Months of hard work and dedication to shooting helped him gain experience and tons of confidence with his gun. It also helped him develop of goal. “I told Dad that I wanted to win state singles,�

Rader said.

Three Saturdays ago Rader did just that.

Scoring 189 hits in 200 shots Rader earned the sub-junior (under-16) singles championship.

The very next day Rader did something he didn’t expect. He took the subjunior title in the doubles tournament.

Instead of shooting just one clay at a time, doubles forces the shooter to take aim at two targets fired simultaneously. “In doubles I scored an 81 (of 100), which is an embarrassing score, but it ended up winning it. A

win is a win,� Rader said.

Next year he’ll move up to the juniors level, where he’ll face even stiffer competition. “I’ll have a lot on my shoulders moving up,�

Rader said. “I’ll have to work hard to improve and get better.�

Though he’s most at home at the shooting range, Rader has a broad list of interests outside of shooting.

As a freshman at SCHS he maintained a 4.0 while taking honors courses, was a member of the Beta Club, ran track and now plays defensive end and tight end on the football team. “But it’s not trap,� he said. “(Shooting) is something that you can do your whole life. I know guys right now that shoot in wheelchairs and they can beat just about anybody there.�

In addition, Rader is a member of SHO (Students Helping Others) and puts in some hours working at Mountain Home Veterinary Hospital on Middle Creek Road in hopes that he’ll one day study veterinary medicine. “That’s my goal,� Rader said, mentioning his love for his labrador retriever and feist, the dogs he regularly takes duck squirrel hunting. “The school I really, really want to go to does not have a (trap shooting) team, but they have a club. I’ve got three more years (in high school), and me and Dad know a lot of people that are trying to get them to get a team. I want to go to UT-Martin, very badly, because that’s where everybody in my family went, and I might have a hunting camp a couple miles from there — not that I would skip class or anything,� he said with a grin. mpsports@themountainpress.com

The July 4th holiday typically means two things for many people, fireworks and racing.

This Saturday, 411 Motor Speedway will offer fans plenty of both. “We’re going to have a great show,� said 411 promoter Chris Corum. “We’re going to up our normal purse for the drivers and we’re going put on a big fireworks show for the fans.�

The event, hailed as the Pepsi Firecracker 300, will offer a $1,000 to win prize in the late model division as well as an additional $100 bonus for the winner of a special ‘Dash for Cash’ race among the top-6 qualifiers. Also, each of the other classes contested at the track will be vying for $300 first prize awards. Saturday’s action will consist of late models, classics, topless modifieds, street stocks, super trucks, modified

minis and pure minis. “We’ve really been having great turnouts this year in both numbers of fans and race cars so we wanted to take this opportunity to reward both on this special holiday weekend,� Corum declared. “We’d also like to thank Pepsi for their support in bringing all this together.�

Drivers in the late model division will be aiming to beat Josh Collins. The Knoxville driver is currently leading the point standings in that division and will be coming into Saturday as the most recent winner on the track after scoring a victory this

past weekend.

Andy Ogle leads the classics standings but Mack McCarter had collected five checkered flags in a row until mechanical problems sidelined him during last Saturday’s race.

Robbie Comer is ahead in the super trucks while Raymond Shepherd leads the street stocks.

Josh Driskill of Newport holds the lead in the topless modified division but red hot Chase King of Seymour has won three in a row.

Tommy Metler holds a slim lead in the modified minis and Dalton King leads the way in the pure mini division. “The racing in all our divisions has been super this year,� Corum said. “Our late model fields have been packed with really good cars all year and our other classes have been doing a good job of giving the fans

something to cheer about. “For example, we had our best field of street stocks this season and those guys put on a great show,� the promoter added.

All regular times and prices will apply this Saturday. Adult grandstand admission is $10, kids 6-11 are $5, and kids 5 and under are free. Tier parking is $15, regardless of age, and is the only area on the property were alcohol is permitted. Pit passes are $25. Pit gates will open at 3:30p, grandstand gates at 5:00p, drivers meeting at 5:15p, with hot-laps beginning at 5:30p, and feature racing will begin around 7:30p.

The fireworks show will commence after the racing action has ended.

Mavs’ star Nowitzki to test free agency DALLAS (AP) — Add Dirk Nowitzki to the bumper crop of talented free agents.

A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Nowitzki has notified the Dallas Mavericks he is opting out of the final year and $21.5 million on his existing contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team wasn’t planning to announce Nowitzki’s decision.

Mavericks president Donnie Nelson already has booked a flight that will have him overseas at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday — 6:01 a.m. in Germany — when free agency begins to show Nowitzki how sincere the club is about keeping its all-time leading scorer and rebounder.

He’d obviously scrap the trip if Nowitzki decides to be elsewhere, but the Mavs hope that being there sends a strong message. “He is our No. 1 priority — period,� Nelson said.

Dallas had been discussing an extension with

Nowitzki, but it would’ve been for only three years.

He can get a four-year contract as a free agent, and perhaps a no-trade clause, something his existing deal lacks.

Nowitzki hitting the market could be a good thing for the Mavericks, but it also creates the chance he could leave, like his buddy Steve Nash did in 2004. “We know what we hope will happen,� Nelson said. “Come July 1, all kinds of unknowns may enter.�

Mavs point guard Jason Kidd said last week he expects Nowitzki to stick around, but that he also wouldn’t be surprised if Nowitzki allowed other teams to wine and dine him. Nowitzki has never been on the market, and was never wooed by colleges because he went straight from a German club team to the NBA as a teenager. “In some respects, it would confuse the marketplace, push things back for us,� Nelson said. “But if there’s a bug inside Dirk that wants to see what that’s all about, then do

it.�

Then again, Nowitzki is a 32-year-old former MVP who has accomplished pretty much everything but win an NBA title. He’s said many times that winning it all for another team wouldn’t mean as much as doing it in Dallas, and this

could be a chance to do his part off the court.

A quick decision to return could turn him and Kidd into tag-team recruiters, especially for wing players like Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson or even the biggest prize of all, LeBron James.

Bower Field tourneys, league play, tryouts and meeting ahead There will be two Bower Bash Baseball Tournaments in July, with the first running July 9-11 with an entry deadline of July 6, and the second will be July 23-25 with a July 20 entry deadline. All 8U teams play free, and the cost for 9U, 10U, 11U and 12U recreation and AA teams only is $50.

Bower Field fall league signups for boys and girls ages 4-12 will be July 6 and July 8 from 6-8 p.m. at the field.

Tryouts for the Tri-County Canes 12U team for the 2011 season can be made by appointment. The Bower

Field fall league coaches meeting will be 7 p.m. July 8 at the Bower Field shed.

This FONSI clears the way for the Federal Highway Administration to contract for the rehabilitation of the 14.5 miles of Newfound Gap Road from the Park!s entrance at Gatlinburg, Tenn., to the TN/NC state line at Newfound Gap.The NPS plansto rehabilitate 14.5 miles of Newfound Gap Road on the Tennessee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (U.S. 441) and to reconstruct many of its stone masonry guardwalls.

Work is scheduled to begin in November 2010 and be completed in phases over about six years. The action is needed to address the deterioration of the pavement, safety concerns, and rehabilitation of the historic cut stone guardwalls, most of which were constructed about 70 years ago.

All these factors have been increasing the Park!s routine maintenance and intermittent repair costs as well as posing safety hazards.The FONSI is available online at the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment website, http:parkplanning.nps.gov/grs m or a printed copy can be reviewed at Park Headquarters, near Gatlinburg, Tenn.

Irrational fear of birds draws negative reaction from friends

Zits

Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old girl who suffers from ornithophobia, which is a fear of birds. I have researched how to overcome it. One website listed steps to follow, and I did all of them except the last one, which said to go to a place where there are birds and learn not to freak out. I have an opportunity to do this every day, but when the birds come close, I run away.

I don’t mind having this irrational fear, but my friends do. They constantly tell me it is stupid, and they are embarrassed to be around me when birds fly by. I know they complain about my phobia to other people.

They say, “Just get over it. It’s not a big deal.” It hurts when they say these things. They have no idea what it feels like. I have tried to explain, but they roll their eyes. I want them to understand and calm me down when I panic.

Annie, I am so stressed by this problem.

I have talked to school counselors, my mother and other people, but nothing seems to help. -Help Needed Dear Help: Ask your friends whether they would be as derisive if you were afraid of snakes or spiders. Fear of birds falls into the same category, but because birds are so abundant and seem so innocuous (Hitchcock notwithstanding), most people don’t understand the problem.

There are techniques and treatments to help you overcome your fear.

Dear Annie: My older sister is 63 and has multiple medical problems that cause intense pain. Her doctors have told her to stop smoking and drinking, but she hasn’t been able to. She cannot work and recently became eligible for disability benefits, which puts her above the limit for receiving Medicaid but isn’t enough to cover her high medical bills. She has to wait another two years to get Medicare.

I have plenty of money and have been helping her out, but people tell me I am only enabling her to continue to smoke and drink. My friends in Al-Anon tell me she’ll never stop unless I cut the cord. But if I stop, she’ll probably lose her apartment. I cannot bring myself to do this, especially knowing how much pain she endures. Is this a “tough love” situation, or would I only be sentencing her to a miserable life on the streets?

-- Distressed Sister Dear Distressed: Your sister could be depressed. It’s also possible her pain medication is not doing the job. She may be relying on other forms of self- medication to get through the day, so please suggest she talk to her doctor about this.

Are the drinking and the smoking the cause of her health problems?

Does she get drunk and put herself in jeopardy?

Determine how negatively her addictions are affecting her, as well as you, and consider whether pulling the rug out will help her in the long run. Then we recommend making the decision that best allows you to sleep at night.

Dear Annie: “Help” said her husband never closes cabinet doors and asked if anyone else had this problem. Yes. Big time.

Not only does my husband leave doors open, but he leaves the cap off the toothpaste and the top off the orange juice (so that it flies all over when I shake it), fails to close cheese packages, loaves of bread and cereal boxes, and leaves all the lights on. Last week, he even left the hot water running in the sink. I call this condition “failure to complete.” -- Hamden, Conn.

Dear Hamden: Leaving the hot water running can be dangerous, as well as expensive.

If your husband’s “failure” is getting worse, you might suggest he see a doctor just in case something more is going on.

nation/world briefs Obama accuser to defend himself

A large tar ball, one of many, sits on the beach near DeBuys Road in Biloxi on Tuesday.

Storm causes oil spill effort to be delayed GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The crashing waves and gusting winds churned up by Tropical Storm Alex put the Gulf oil spill largely in Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands Tuesday. Regardless of whether the storm makes things worse or better, it has turned many people fighting the spill into spectators.

Oil-scooping ships in the Gulf of Mexico steamed to safe refuge because of the rough seas, which likely will last for days. Officials scrambled to reposition boom to protect the coast, and had to remove barges that had been blocking oil from reaching sensitive wetlands.

Alex is projected to stay far from the spill zone and is not expected to affect recovery efforts at the site of the blown offshore well that continues to spew crude, but the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer edges were causing problems. Waves were as high as 12 feet in parts of the Gulf, according to the National Weather Service.

In at least one area of coastal Louisiana, the waves were tossing oil-soaking boom around and forcing crews to take precious time putting it back in place.

However, oily water was not yet crashing over it.

U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all skimming efforts had been halted for now off the Louisiana coast.

Wayne Hebert, who helps manage skimming operations for BP PLC, said all nearshore skimmers were idled off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is in because of weather, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thunderstorms or (high) seas,â&#x20AC;? Hebert said.

French said workers were using the time off the water to replenish supplies and perform maintenance work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go as soon as conditions allow us to get those people back out and fighting this oil spill,â&#x20AC;?

French said.

Farther inland, local officials worried the weather could hamper efforts to keep the oil out of Lake Pontchartrain, which so far has not been affected by the spill. The brackish body of water, connected to the Gulf by narrow passes, is a recreational haven for the metropolitan New Orleans area.

Authorities worried that underwater currents and an easterly wind might drive a 250-square-mile oil slick north of the Chandeleur Islands toward the lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very concerned because of the weather,â&#x20AC;? said Suzanne Parsons, spokeswoman for St. Tammany Parish, which is on the north side of the lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out and start working it. This may be the first test of our outer lines of defense.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Jefferson Parish Council member Chris Roberts said the oil was entering passes Tuesday at Barataria Bay, home to diverse wildlife. A day earlier, barges that had been placed in the bay to block the oil were removed because of rough seas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The barges are removed and the boom is being displaced in many areas,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As weather conditions permit we are making progress with repositioning the boom.â&#x20AC;?

The loss of skimming work combined with 25 mph gusts driving water into the coast has left beaches especially vulnerable. In Alabama, the normally white beaches were streaked with long lines of oil, and tar balls collected on the sand. One swath of beach 40 feet wide was stained brown and mottled with globs of oil matted together.

by Senate panel

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Senate Armed Services Committee has voted in favor of Gen. David Petraeus to become the next commander of the Afghanistan war.

The panel vote paves the way for his swift confirmation by the full Senate.

Republicans and Democrats alike praised Petraeus during a hearing Tuesday. Petraeus, who heads U.S. Central Command, replaces Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

McChrystal was fired last week after he and his top aides were quoted in a Rolling Stone article making disparaging remarks about their civilian counterparts in the administration.
