Teameffort blessing for local residents

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Ann Kelley watched from inside her aging home, confined by health issues to spend most of her time in a rumpled tan chair by her window-mounted air conditioner, as outside a group of youth she had never met before this week battled scorching temperatures to improve her home and her life.

The Dayton, Ohio, volunteers rebuilt Kelley’s back porch — a shambles of rotten chip board that threatened to drop anyone who tested it into the 80-foot-deep hand-dug well below it — scrubbed her siding to ready it for painting and tore down an out building that had become a haven for wasps and other critters. They also constructed a pair of ramps that will, for the first time since she fell out of bed and cracked three ribs a few months ago, allow Kelley some freedom to safely leave her home.

At the end of their work days since Monday, the youth have piled into Kelley’s house hot, sweaty and often smudged with dirt from the day’s labors. But to Kelley they are the face of God. “Oh honey, these kids are fantastic,” Kelley said as she sipped from a cup of tea on her tan perch. “I’ve never seen a nicer bunch of kids in all my life. They’re jewels. They’re beautiful. I think it’s the most wonderful See teameffort, Page A5

GATLINBURG — The board of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts has narrowed its site options to Gatlinburg and Greeneville.

The board announced Wednesday that Knoxville is no longer being considered.

The board will now discuss issues with representatives from both Gatlinburg and Greeneville regarding specific details. The board still plans to make a decision in August.

Mary Ann Hruska, president of the Arrowmont Board of Governors, said that while an urban setting in Knoxville “was intriguing to the school, the proposal did not meet its needs.”

The board met in April with the community task force appointed

by Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam in April and was presented with an option to relocate the school to Knoxville.

“Obviously we are disappointed to no longer be in consideration for this project,” said Rhonda Rice of the Knoxville Chamber and chairwoman of the task force. “However, through this process there is a stronger relationship between the Knoxville community and Arrowmont. We wish them continued success See school, Page A5

Golden Rule gets hardware store Baker new assistant to golden anniversary celebration city administrator

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

By JEFF FARRELL Staff writer

Gatlinburg’s Ace Hardware — still commonly known as Trentham’s Hardware — is celebrating 50 years in business.

Libby Latham, president and general manager of the store, believes its success comes from owners and employees following the Golden Rule.

“We’ve tried to run the business on Christian principles,” said Latham, whose great-uncle, Lee Trentham, opened the store in July 1960. “We’ve tried to create a pleasant shopping atmosphere.”

Trentham’s son, Bill, partnered with Latham’s parents, Tom and Dot Colvard,

SEVIERVILLE — City Administrator Steve Hendrix hired a new assistant administrator, filling a position that has been open since he moved up from it following the 2008 death of Doug Bishop.

Tracy Baker will be joining the city staff in the next week or two, Hendrix said.

She graduated the University of Tennessee at Martin with bachelor of arts degrees in political science and international duties, and in 2008 obtained a master’s degree at UT Knoxville in public administration.

Baker also completed an unusual internship program through the Municipal Technical Advisory Service that Hendrix said would giver her a wealth of experience. It involved working with several cities “in preparation for a career in city management,” according to her resume, which Hendrix made available.

“There’s not many people, even veteran administrators, who have that kind of experience working with that many administrators,” he said.

Commission extends budget process

By DEREK HODGES Staff writer SEVIERVILLE — County officials have taken action to keep the government running as they work to hammer out a budget that promises to present them with plenty of problems in the coming weeks.

The stop-gap measure has become an annual thing for county officials, who often wait until July to finish up the annual budget. “This is a resolution we approve every year so we can continue to operate the county until we approve the next budget,� County Mayor Larry Waters explained during the commission meeting.

Beyond that, Waters didn’t give much more information. However, in the past he

has said the system of waiting a bit longer and using a stop-gap measure simplifies the process of making the new budget, in part because it can allow for better revenue projections. Data from more recent months can be used.

The county operates on a fiscal year that starts July 1. That’s why the commissioners have to fill the gap when they haven’t voted on a budget by that date. The law allows them to continue operating under the existing budget, giving the same amount of money for the same uses to each department and retaining the existing property tax levy.

The group also voted to approve a change in how a fee intended to help the victims of violent crime will be collected.

Commissioners voted a couple years ago to implement the charge, which was approved by the Legislature.

The law allows counties to levy a fee of $45 on those found guilty in local courts.

Much of that money is given to agencies that assist or advocate for victims of violent crimes; $3 goes to the clerk of court.

In Sevier County, only those convicted in Circuit Court had to pay the fee, with all the cash going to Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center. That all changed Monday, when the commissioners voted unanimously to charge the fee in Circuit, General Sessions and even city courts. The action also divides the money among four agencies: Safe Harbor, SafeSpace, Sevier County Children’s Shelter and the

Victim Witness Program in the district attorney’s office.

The commissioners voted unanimously and without discussion to reject a rezoning request that would have moved property off Allensville Road from rural residential to rural commercial for a zipline and outdoor activities center. They did so on the recommendation of officials in Sevierville, which has a say in the matter because the property is in the city’s planning region.

Sevierville leaders worried about the narrow access allowed by the one-lane Guffy Hollow Road, which in some places is no more than 10 feet wide, according to county records.

During the Monday session, the group voted to approve: n A rezoning request for

property in the 1400 block of Avenue A from R-1 to C-1 from Floyd Christian and Travis McCroskey n Budget amendments for several county departments n A resolution to approve annual lease agreements n A resolution affirming compliance with the federal Title VI regulations n A resolution for the approval of a marketing contract with USDM.net n A resolution for the approval of a five-year strategic plan for the Sevier County Economic Development Council n Appointing members to the Sevier County Public Library Board n A resolution regarding the school system’s application for 2010 Qualified School Construction Bonds.

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — City water customers could be experiencing discolored water from their taps, but city officials say tests show it’s still safe for drinking and meets federal and state regulations for drinking water.

The discoloration is apparently caused by particles inside the line that have been dislodged, officials said.

This discoloration is an issue that water systems sometimes experience in the hot summer months when increases in temperature cause naturally occurring particles inside the water lines to dislodge and create the appearance of muddy water,� according to a release from the city. “The particles are flushed from the pipes as taps are turned on but are not harmful.�

The operation of a new water treatment plant, with increased pressure and new flows, may be adding to the problem this year, along with the unusually high temperatures of the last few weeks, officials said.

City Administrator Steve Hendrix said city employes are working to resolve the discoloration, and have been in contact wit the state Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure they are taking the proper steps to address the problem.

In the meantime, the city will keep testing the water regularly to make sure it is safe for consumption. It isn’t known how long the problem will last.

The city recommends the following steps for customers experiencing discoloration in their water. n Allow water to flow form the tap until it is clear n Avoid washing clothes or other items that can be stained until the water is clear n If it persists, call the Water Department at 453-5522 and a crew

Support group holds cook-out to fight cancer From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — The Smoky Mountain Cancer Support Group sponsored a Great American Cook-out at the conference center of River Plantation RV Park.

The event featured hamburger and hot dog plates. Desserts included strawberry shortcake and cakes donated by Smoky Mountain Cakes. One was decorated with an American flag and the other one was inscribed, “Celebrating America’s Birthday and more Cancer Survivors’ Birthdays.”

All proceeds from the event benefited the support group’s Relay For Life team.

Cooks for the afternoon included Tommy Baker, Claude Richmond and Richard Horn, under the direction of Carlene Maples. Members of the group donated many items and manned the sales tables.

Ten-year-old Trina Marvel from Seymour came with her family and best friend Athena Gilbreath. Trina, with help from her friend, had made bracelets from ribbon and soda can pop-tops, selling them to friends and neighbors.

When she heard about the fundraiser, she told her parents she wanted to donate the $149 to the support group’s Relay for Life team.

Entertainment was provided by Clint and Friends from Clint’s BBQ and Country Cookin’; Pat Corn, pastor of the Cowboy Church; Marcia Nelson and daughter April Mills; and Scott Andrews from First Baptist Church. A video, “You’re the Reason,” was also shown.

This was prepared by Gail Crutchfield of The Mountain Press for cancer survivors and supporters.

Lois I. Sutton Ballew Caylor

Cluster Woodrow (Woody) Allred

Lois I. Sutton Ballew Caylor, age 87 of Pigeon Forge and Oak Ridge, went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, after a short illness. Lois loved her roses and was a flower arranger at The Rebel Corner in Gatlinburg during the 1960s and 1970s.

She especially loved her grandchildren and was preceded in death by her husband Charles Esmond Ballew, Jr., sisters Clarabell Baxter, Pauline Howard, Nell Atchley and Judy Trotter.

She is survived by her husband George Caylor; daughters and sons-in-law Sheridan “Sheriâ€? and Richard “Dickieâ€? Hickam, Angela Marson and Bill Campbell; grandchildren Susan and Lee Hickam; sister Estelle Grisham, sister-in-law and husband Susie and Chester Graves; many nieces and nephews; stepson William H. Caylor and wife Betty; stepgrandchildren William C. Caylor and wife Mary Ann, Christopher G. Caylor and wife Tracy, Jack T. Caylor and fiancĂŠe Mary Shell, Kevin L. Butler, Cheryl L. Butler; step-great-grandchildren Matthew Caylor, Abigail Caylor, Stephanie Stooksbury and Blakely Stooksbury.

The family will receive friends 5-7 p.m. Friday with funeral service to follow at 7 p.m. in the Chapel of Atchley Funeral Home with Rev. Lowell Wilson officiating. Family and friends will meet 2 p.m. Saturday at Shiloh Cemetery for graveside service and interment. Arrangements by Atchley Funeral Home, Sevierville.

Cluster Woodrow (Woody) Allred, 91, beloved husband and father, passed away Sunday evening, June 27, 2010. Mr. Allred, who grew up in Grimsley, Tennessee, was met on his way to heaven by his precious wife Lillie who had gone on ahead of him two years ago. He is also celebrating with his father and mother, Arab and Mary Jane Allred, and his brothers and sisters Bill, Omer, Clemie, Collins, Ovie, Tonzie and Reesie. He is survived by his three daughters Sonja Miller, Pam Allred, and Myra Allred; his son-in-law Jim Miller; 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; his much-loved nieces and nephews; his sister-in-law Agnes Denton and brother-in-law Lloyd Denton; and many more extended family members, friends, and those whom he brought to know the Lord who will miss him so very much.

Woody lived a full and wonderful life making many contributions in service to his country and community, applying his habit of hard work to everything he touched. He helped build our own Douglas Dam, and went on to serve our country during WWII starting with the CeeBees and then on the submarinetender USS Orion. Mr. Allred continued with the Navy until 1965 using his skills as a master welder then went on to Civil Service with the police force on the Virginia Beach Amphibious Base until his final retirement from government service in 1978.

He became a much-loved and familiar face operating the gas services for the Sevier County Farmer’s Co-op during the next decade and was a dedicated member of First Baptist Church in Sevierville. He treated everyone he ever knew with care and kindness, honesty and a sense of fair play that is so rare.

His capacity for loving all his girls and family is legendary — the best example of what a man truly should and can be, especially when he allows the Lord to lead his life. Woody’s impact on so many lives throughout the world as he quietly led men to know and love Christ is a beautiful legacy.

Funeral service 1 p.m. Friday in the West Chapel of Atchley Funeral Home with Pastor Jerry Hyder of First Baptist Church, Sevierville and Pastor Patrick Miller (grandson) of Redeemer Church, Anderson, SC officiating. Interment will follow in Beech Springs Cemetery with full military honors. The family will receive friends 5-7 p.m. Thursday and 12-1 p.m.

A new store was built in its current location at 1025 East Parkway, and a grand opening was held in 1991. A decision was then made to switch from several suppliers to Ace Hardware in order to offer customers “better pricing and a more expanded inventory,� Latham said.

Although many people still refer to the business as “Trentham’s Hardware,�

Ace requires displaying its signage in order to participate in national advertising. “Trentham’s is the name of our corporation and this store, and that will never change,� Latham said. “We continue to be family-owned and operated only at this location.�

Latham said. “We tried to make it a fun day.�

Latham has family history in the Smoky Mountains that dates back to before the hardware store opened: Her great-great grandfather was Levi Trentham, also known as “The Prophet of the Smokies.�

She began working in her family’s hardware store when she was 13, starting out by cutting keys. She would also work in various shops in downtown Gatlinburg while attending Gatlinburg Pittman High School. After graduation from Carson Newman College, she continued working in retail in Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C. She moved back to her hometown, and when her father retired in 1996, she took over as the store’s general manager. “Our employees are our main strength,� she said. “Their longevity is a real asset — they have the loyalty of the customers. We have a husband and wife who have worked for us for 31 years (Jerry Rawlings) and 28 years (Linda Rawlings).� “It’s a wonderful place to work,� Linda said. “I know most of the customers. It’s like family.�

the time she worked for Seaton, according to the complaint.

The woman is seeking $1.5 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages.

Seaton is already facing a sexual harassment claim from two other former employees, including one of the alleged victims in the criminal case and another woman. They are seeking $4 million.

According to criminal warrants, the incidents started on Oct. 22 when Seaton — who owns several local businesses, including the Grand Resort Hotel and Alf’s restaurant — allegedly hugged a woman, then put his hands on her as she attempted to pull away from him.

The next date mentioned is Nov. 14, when three employees say they were approached by

Seaton. Those incidents include one in which Seaton is alleged to have straddled a woman sitting in a chair and thrust himself toward her; another in which he is said to have grabbed a woman and again thrust himself at her; and a final warrant states he pushed his face into an employee’s chest while she was on the phone, forcing her shirt and bra down.

The final allegation involves a female employee from a financial business that Seaton does not own, who was apparently at the accounting office to pick up a check. As the woman was leaving the office, the warrant states, Seaton grabbed her in a hug and kissed her on the neck. She backed away from Seaton and was at the door when Seaton stuck his hand out and grabbed her crotch, the warrant says. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

thing that can happen to anybody.�

At the urging of Office on Aging Director Lisa Yarber Wednesday afternoon, Kelley came outside for the first time that week, giving hugs to the youth as they took a break from their labors to spend some time with the woman they have come to call “Honeygran.�

The name is one given to Kelley by her blood-related grandchildren, though it’s not misused by the newest members of the family. “I’ve adopted each of them as my grandchild,�

Kelley said as she hugged the young people who made sure her house doesn’t become her prison.

These volunteers, who came from a pair of churches in a part of the industrial state of Ohio that has been particularly hard-hit by the ongoing recession, are in the area as part of Teameffort, a youth camping program organized by a group in Georgia.

Contacted by Yarber several years ago, the agency has been sending crews from all over the country to work on the homes of local seniors since, including since the beginning of June this summer.

Each camper will raise or pay about $300 or more to give up a week of their summer vacation to work.

They stay in dorms at the King’s Academy from Sunday through Saturday, dedicating Monday through Thursday to their good works, with Friday set aside as a day for fun. So far this year the teams have worked on 20 homes, with groups set to be in the area until the end of this month.

With the school break for summer growing ever-shorter, some may think it strange that these young people would be willing to give up part of it to work in the heat of a state some of them had never even visited before. Add to that the fact the youth have to pay or raise through more work the money that supplies the equipment and other necessities that keep their camp going and it’s clear to see there’s something extraordinary about these young workers. They consider it a calling. “We hope we’ve done something that she can be happy about this week,� camper Kelsey Haack, 18, said. “It’s been fun. I love it.

You get to know your youth group and you get closer to God through serving other people.�

Fellow laborer Craig Lohmann said the desire to help Kelley even pushed the group through the challenges of outdoor labor in East Tennessee in late June and early July. As they encountered creatures that aren’t common in Toledo, battled back bugs and braved wilting heat, they pushed on confident in the meaning of their work and looking forward to an icy drink in the dark cool of Kelley’s living room at the end of the day. “It’s not too bad,�

Lohmann assured. “It means a lot to be able to help her. And we’ve been finding every reason we can to come into the cool. We’ll say, ‘Oh, you’ve got that?

OK, I’ll just be inside for a minute if you need me.’�

The time out of the heat gave the youth the opportunity to hear some of Kelley’s life story and, as Lohmann said, it’s an impressive one.

One of only two girls in a family of eight children and the only survivor from the brood, Kelley has seen a lot in her nearly 82 years of life. She buried a husband in 1971 and a son just six years later. In the past few months she’s battled for her own life, with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure

and a fall out of bed that broke three ribs and left her unconscious sending her to the hospital on more than one occasion. “I’ve seen the time I could do anything anybody else could do,� Kelley remembered. “Now I’m just thankful when I wake up each morning. I almost left here.

I mean, I didn’t think I was long for this world. But God’s keeping me around for some reason. He has really taken care of me in more ways than one. I’m gonna be here when Jesus comes back.�

Like any proud grandmother, Kelley has pictures of her family that look down at her from the mantle, and she beams as she talks about how both grandchildren have gotten high marks in college and how her daughter once brought her a basketball autographed by Pat Summitt. Kelley played the sport when she was younger, earning the nickname, “Tugboat,� from a coach who joked he’d rather see a steaming ship coming down the court toward him than a determined Kelley.

She also recalls with pride how she provided for her children largely on her own, doing everything it took to put them through college and get them a good start. “I gave my whole life to my children,� she said. “I always worked — a lot of times two jobs. I never slowed down a day in my life until I had to quit working. That nearly killed me.�

In leaving her work, Kelley lost a bit of her pride and her identity. Her stern parents, including former Sevierville Police Chief Charlie Maples, taught her she should do for herself, a lesson that didn’t serve her well in recent years when she hasn’t been able to do that.

That’s why it was such a big step for her to admit, after the fall and her neardeath experiences, that she needs help. “I never have asked for help. I’ll be 82 in October and I’ve never asked for help once,� Kelley said.

Yarber worries there are countless others like Kelley, trapped in houses that are crumbling around them, but resisting the opportunity to ask for assistance. “There are people all over this county just like you,� she told Kelley. “There are people all over this county who don’t want to ask for help. A lot of times people are too proud to ask for help. We just want them to know there are groups here that can help them.�

In addition to hoping to drum up more requests for Teameffort’s volunteer labor, Yarber is hoping to get the community behind thanking the group. While plenty of the church groups are taking their youth into the national park or taking part in some other free activity on their Fridays off, she’s optimistic some local attractions might be willing to donate some tickets to offer the young people a glimpse of Sevier County’s more entertaining side. “I’m just asking if some of the businesses in this area would be able to step up to help me show our county’s appreciation for how much these children are doing for senior citizens in our neighborhoods,� Yarber said. “I think it would be so nice to be able to tell all these folks thank you. I want them to know Sevier County really appreciates what they’re doing and what they’re sacrificing to help our people.�

For more information on how to get help from Teameffort or ways to express appreciation to the work crews, call the Office on Aging at 453-8080. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Dems push aid for jobless WASHINGTON (AP) — Unable to deliver more stimulus spending for President Barack Obama, Democrats in Congress are trying at least to restore jobless benefits for 1.3 million laid-off workers.

Democrats in both the House and Senate planned to vote on bills Thursday that would extend unemployment benefits through the end of November for people who have been

laid off for long stretches. House Democrats postponed a vote scheduled for Wednesday.

Democratic leaders were hoping to pass the extension before Congress goes on a weeklong Independence Day recess.

Without an extension, every week a new 200,000 of the nearly 7 million people who have been without a job for at least six months will lose their unemploy-

ment benefits. About 1.3 million have already lost benefits since the last extension ran out at the end of May, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said. “We have a basic responsibility to help our constituents respond to emergencies,� said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “We have a fundamental obligation not to deny them the help they need when they need it the most.�

Largest oil skimmer heads to Gulf NEW ORLEANS (AP) — With hurricane-whipped waves pushing more oil onto the Gulf of Mexico’s once-white beaches, the government pinned its latest cleanup hopes Wednesday on a huge new piece of equipment: the world’s largest oil-skimming vessel.

The Taiwanese-flagged former tanker named the “A Whale� is the length of 3 1/2 football fields and stands 10 stories high. It just emerged from an extensive retrofitting to prepare it specifically for the Gulf, where officials hope it will be able to suck up as much as 21 million gallons of oil-fouled water per day. “It is absolutely gigantic. It’s unbelievable,� said Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor Ed

Overton, who saw the ship last week in Norfolk, Va. As the monsterous vessel made its way toward the Gulf coast, large waves churned up by distant Hurricane Alex left Alabama beaches splattered with oil and tar balls the size of apples.

The rough seas forced most smaller skimming boats into port for a second consecutive day, putting many cleanup crews at a standstill.

The ship looks like a typical tanker, but it takes in contaminated water through 12 vents on either side of the bow. The oil is then supposed to be separated from the water and transferred to another vessel. The water is channeled back into the sea.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cruising toward confirmation, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan completed grueling Senate questioning Wednesday, unscathed

by Republican challenges on abortion, gays in the military and gun rights while sidestepping partisan debate about GOPnamed judges pulling the court to the right.

Kagan emerged from three days of vetting by the Senate Judiciary Committee much as she had begun, declaring she’d be an independent and impartial judge and denying Republican suggestions that she would be unable to separate her political leanings from her job as a justice.

Democrats said President Barack Obama’s nominee to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens was on track to become the fourth woman in Supreme Court history. “Solicitor General Kagan will be confirmed,� declared Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the panel chairman.

Republicans, despairing of their inability to get Kagan to reveal her legal views or say anything that might threaten her confirmation over more than 15 hours of questioning, acknowledged as much. “I assume she will be,� said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

Kagan, prompted by Democratic supporters on the panel, gave a blunt denunciation of “resultsoriented judging,� deciding cases based on preconceived conclusions, but she refused to join them in applying the criticism to the current court under conservative Chief Justice John Roberts.

Legislation allowing handgun carry permit holders to bring weapons into bars and alcohol-serving restaurants became law immediately after both chambers voted overwhelmingly last month to override the governor’s veto of the legislation.

commentary

Businesses have it good in America For all its problems, America is a great place. And one thing that makes America great is its prosperity. Yes, some people have suffered during the recession — but compared to all the other countries in the history of the world, America is rich.

Why? One reason is that America is a good place to do business.

Dinesh D’Souza, author of “What’s So Great about America,” points out: “In most other societies, the businessman has been looked down upon. He’s been seen as a kind of sleazy guy. But then American founders specifically put protection for patents and trademarks in the Constitution. And suddenly, the entrepreneur is taken from the bottom of the heap and brought to the front.”

Today, Asian students crush Americans on standardized tests, but it’s Americans who invent things like the transistor and the integrated circuit and go on to win disproportionate numbers of Nobel Prizes.

TV pitchman Anthony Sullivan is from Britain, but he says his business didn’t thrive there.

“I found in England if there’s 10 reasons you could do something, there’s 20 reasons why you couldn’t do it, you shouldn’t do it, “ says Sullivan. “I found in the States that people will give you a shot.”

One sign of this attitude is that it’s relatively easy to start a business here. I opened one in Wilmington, Del. I named it the Stossel Store. It was just a table from which I pitched my book and merchandise. I picked Wilmington because our research showed that Delaware and Nevada make opening a business easier than other states.

“I have started businesses in the U.K. and India. It takes at least a month or more just to open doors,” A.J. Khubani, president of TeleBrands, says.

Unfortunately, bureaucrats are threatening this good part of America. I had to register with the Delaware Secretary of State and the Division of Corporations, get a federal employer identification number, buy commercial liability insurance, register with the Delaware state Department of Finance, etc.

I didn’t even try to open a business in my hometown, New York City, because the bureaucracy is so ferocious. The fastest-growing cities of the world make it easier. In Hong Kong several years ago, I got a business permit in just one day.

But at least America is a close second.

America also has a different idea about failure. The Stossel Store was a bad idea. I lost money. D’Souza says that in other places, that would be evidence that I am a complete failure.

I tried to make a profit, failed and so shouldn’t try again.

That’s the attitude in most of the world, says D’Souza.

“You say: ‘You know what? I tried my hand at business. It didn’t work. Now, let me take a salary job where I’ll have some security.”

He says that’s not true in America.

“An American will start a company.

It’ll fail. Pretty soon, he’s starting a newspaper, or he’s now trying to export fish to Japan.”

We know that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, but Edison failed much more often than he succeeded. He had hundreds of failures.

He was fired by the telegraph office, and lost money on a cement company and an iron business. Henry Ford’s first company failed completely.

Dr. Seuss’ first book was rejected by 27 publishers.

Oprah was fired from her first job as a reporter. A TV station called her unfit for television.

“There’s something in the American temperament that says, ‘Gosh, I lost seven times but that’s OK,’” D’Souza says. “And I think that that’s a resiliency of the American spirit.”

It’s one of several great things about America.

Pigeon Forge kicks things off Saturday with its annual Patriot Festival, featuring music by Diamond Rio and a fireworks show. Then at midnight Saturday night comes the annual Gatlinburg midnight parade, with more than 100 entries, followed on Sunday by the annual River Raft Regatta, lots of music and a fireworks show that night.

With the Fourth of July falling on a Sunday this year, it affects the scheduling of events. Things that usually are held on the actual holiday have bene adjusted. But that shouldn’t affect your own Independence Day fun.

MyPigeonForge.com or by calling 800251-9100.

Gatlinburg kicks off the nation’s first parade at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.

Featuring a special tribute to military personnel, participants in the parade are being encouraged to display how

many years they have been in business or organized. Featured as one of the grand marshals will be Ripley’s Entertainment, which is celebrating 40 years in Gatlinburg.

Also featured in the parade will be the 129th U.S. Army Band.

In addition to the parade, the 129th Army Marching Band, Boyertown (Penn.) Alumni Marching Unit, the Nashville Suzuki Strings and Knoxville Pipe & Drum will also perform in free weekend concerts downtown.

Don’t let this joyous celebration of our freedom go by without taking in some local activities.

Political view

Public forum Thanks to one Labrador Retriever, Kentucky can deal with animal abuse

Editor: There is a new law in Kentucky that I’m extremely proud of. It’s called “Romeo’s Law,” and Romeo is a yellow Labrador retriever that somehow lived through some of the most horrible abuse and torture that I have ever heard of (even the Michael Vick saga).

A concerned neighbor videotaped the torture, turned it over to the police, and apparently it was so bad that the policemen had tears in their eyes. Some could not finish watching the video.

Of course, animal cruelty has always been treated with a slap on the wrist. The animal is considered personal property and our laws are extremely archaic on the subject.

My animals are my family, and if someone murdered my dog I would expect nothing less than life in prison — the death penalty all the better. I’m sure I’m shocking a few of you, but that’s your problem, not mine. You might also want to keep in mind that these types of people are future serial killers.

Anyway, this creature who calls himself a man got four months and a $400 fine, since animal cruelty is just a misdemeanor.

Luckily, Romeo got a new loving home.

But what absolutely fills my heart with love, joy and appreciation is that Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky signed “Romeo’s Law,”

Submitted

Just after Romeo signed with his paw print of approval, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear signed Romeo’s Law, making it a felony to abuse animals in the state.

Lady Tigers refuse to lower expectations

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Kelsey Brooks

PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers basketball team is young, but that doesn’t mean they’ve lowered their expectations for the 2010-11 season.

“Our goal is to win another district championship, and I expect to do it,” said Orange-and-Black coach Paul Reagan. “We’re not very big, but we’re quick and this is the most athletic team I’ve ever had.

“We’ll be fun to watch again, that’s for sure. There are no reduced expectations here.”

The Lady Tigers will look to improve on last year’s 22-6 record, which included a first-place regular-season finish in District 3-AA, a runners-up finish in the district tournament and a trip to the region tournament semi-finals.

In order to continue its high level of performance, Pigeon Forge must overcome key losses of 2010 grads Danielle Rauhuff, Emily Hurst and Courtney Ball. But if summer camp is any indication, the Orange-andBlack team is well on its way to another successful campaign.

The Lady Tigers went 13-1 in their recent summer camp action, but not before the young team came together for eight days of spirited practice.

“We had a lot of freshmen coming in, so we had a bonding time in those practices,” said Reagan.

After that getting-to-know-themselves time, the Orange-and-Black girls traveled to Grainger for a tournament and started summer camp with a 6-0 mark after defeating the likes of Grainger, Cherokee, Jefferson County and Cumberland Gap. The Lady Tigers didn’t take a break and traveled to Louisville, Ky., for a camp the very next day and went 7-1 there.

“We had a great summer camp,” said Reagan. “I couldn’t have asked for better from the girls.

“I’ve got a great bunch of girls this year. I’ve had some good teams in the past, but this is the most fun I’ve had in awhile. They’re just a great bunch of girls both on and off the court. They do exactly what I ask them to do, and they work really hard.”

Reagan said his young team has a couple of great examples for leadership in rising seniors Kelsey Brooks and Ashlynn Trotter.

“Those girls lead by example,” said Reagan. “Kelsey and Ashlynn work their butts off, I mean they fight for loose balls in practice.

Federer loses to Berdych at Wimbledon

By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer

dered aloud what kind of score it would take to win. The forecast is for sunshine throughout the week, and without wind, any course is vulnerable.

He also noticed, however, that the greens already were firm enough for the ball to bounce instead of sticking where it lands.

“This is a golf course that has hosted major championships,” Woods said. “There’s no reason we can’t play it tough.”

More than the course, the AT&T National marks a return to the Philadelphia area for the first time since 2002, the final year of the short-lived Pennsylvania Classic held that year at Waynesborough Country Club. Based on the gallery earlier in the week, and the crowd that gathered around tee boxes and greens for Woods’ pro-am group, they are expecting a big week.

“We have great confidence it’s going to be a very successful event,” PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. “We’re back here next year, and after that, we’ll look for opportunities. But certainly, this is a market

WIMBLEDON, England — For the first time in eight years, Roger Federer won’t be striding onto Centre Court for the Wimbledon final.

The six-time champion was upset in the quarterfinals by big-hitting Tomas Berdych on Wednesday, stopping his bid for a record-tying seventh title at the All England Club and extending his recent stretch of disappointing play.

The 12th-seeded Berdych used his big serve and forehand to beat Federer 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, on Centre Court for the biggest victory of the Czech’s career.

Roger Federer Berdych will meet No. 3 Novak Djokovic for a spot in the final, with No. 2 Rafael Nadal facing No. 4 Andy Murray in the other semifinal.

It’s the first time since 2002 that Federer has failed to reach the final. Since losing in the first round eight years ago, Federer had played in the championship match a record seven consecutive times. He won the title six times and finished runner-up once, bolstering his reputation as the greatest player of all-time.

Winner of a record 16 Grand Slam titles, Federer said he was unable to play his best tennis Wednesday because of pain in his back and right leg.

“I couldn’t play the way I wanted to play,” said Federer, who had been chasing the record of seven titles won by Pete Sampras and 19th-century player William Renshaw. “I am struggling with a little bit of a back and a leg issue. That just doesn’t quite allow me to play the way I would like to play. It’s frustrating, to say the least.”

Berdych said he didn’t notice anything wrong with Federer.

“I don’t know if he is just looking for some excuses after the match or something like that,” he said. “I think he was 100 percent ready.”

Berdych ripped a clean forehand winner on his second match point to become the first Czech to reach the men’s semifinals since Ivan Lendl in 1990.

“Not many other moments can compare to this one,” Berdych said. “Standing on Centre Court here in Wimbledon, beating the six-time champion here. It couldn’t be better. But there is still one match to feel better feelings than this one. I hope I can get to that.”

Berdych will next face Djokovic, who swept past Yenhsun Lu in straight sets to reach the semifinals for the second time. The third-seeded Djokovic never faced a break point as he beat the 82nd-ranked Taiwanese player 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in less than two hours on Court 1.

Nadal, who beat Federer in the 2008 final, lost the first five games of the match but rallied to defeat No. 6 Robin Soderling 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-1. It was a rematch of this year’s French Open final, which the Spaniard also

Tiger Woods tees off on the 12th hole during the Pro-Am at the AT&T National golf tournament at the Aronimink Golf Club, Wednesday in Newtown Square, Pa.

A big week for Woods between majors

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Tiger Woods’ tee shot was headed for the front pin when it turned hard to the left and settled at the back left corner of the par-3 fifth green at Aronimink Golf Club.

“That’ll work out well for one of these days,” caddie Steve Williams told him. “Just not this one.”

They shared a quick laugh and walked off the tee box, resuming the pro-am round Wednesday at the AT&T National. Woods is the defending champion, yet he is somewhat in the dark.

His game remains a mystery.

The tournament falls between two of the biggest events on his golfing calendar — the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the British Open at St. Andrews, his favorite golf course in the world.

Woods tied for fourth at the U.S. Open with a spotty performance. He matched a tournamentlow 66 in the third round to get into contention, only to close with a 75.

Even so, it was his best week since he tied for fourth at the Masters.

“Things are starting to come around, which is nice to see,” Woods said. “It’s just a matter of getting more and more consistent with what I’m working on and putting together better rounds.”

Another mystery is the course.

The AT&T National, where Woods no longer is the official host, is taking a two-year hiatus from Congressional Country Club, which is preparing to host the U.S. Open next year.

It found a welcome vacation home in Aronimink, which originally was designed by Donald Ross and once hosted premier championships. This is where Gary Player won his first PGA Championship in 1962, by one shot over Bob Goalby.

Aronimink was supposed to hold the PGA Championship in 1993 until the Shoal Creek episode led the PGA of America to demand its golf courses have minority members. Aronimink, which had an all-white membership, gave up the chance to host another

major. It did not have a black member until 1998, and now the club says it has multiple minority and female members.

It is a course with sharp changes in elevation and bends in the fairways, relatively large greens and minimal water. It is not a classic Ross course from redesigns over the years, yet it has a storied history.

And while the rough has been minimal on the PGA Tour this year, especially with the shallow grooves now required, this rough is nearly as thick as players found two weeks ago at Pebble Beach.

“I’m probably taken back by its difficulty,” said Jim Furyk, who played junior golf in the Philadelphia area. “I think it’s a very tough golf course. It’s tough to get the ball in the fairways. They’re pitched at a lot of angles. You have to work the ball well off the tee. The greens are very big, but are cut up into smaller sections. There’s a lot of slope, a lot of undulation, and they’re already quite firm.”

Walking down the fairway on the 605-yard ninth hole, Woods won-

Pigeon Forge has been without its two other rising seniors — Ashley “Wojo�

Wojnowski, who suffered a sprained knee, is close to 100 percent again, but Hooker may be lost for the entire basketball season, depending on what doctors recommend later this year. “We’ll miss Kesha if she’s out for the season,� said Reagan. “But we’ve still got a strong nucleus returning.�

Besides Brooks, Trotter and Wojnowski, rising sophomores Cassidy Martin and Mindy Brackins bring a lot of varsity minutes back to the Lady Tigers lineup. “So we’ve got five girls who played a lot for us last year,� said Reagan. “Those girls have taken the bull by the horns.

The lone rising junior on the Lady Tigers squad, Brittany Wood, is also expected to help out more this season. “Brittany has really improved,� said Reagan. “Brittany played a lot for us during summer camp, and we were beating a lot of teams by a lot of points. “Brittany just does what I ask her to do, and she’s just a great girl.�

Reagan also said the Lady Tigers have had an influx of talented rising freshmen enter their program, including Mikayla Trombley and Courtney Leatherwood, both of whom contributed in recent summer camp wins. “I was very pleased with those girls’ effort,� said Reagan. “But not only will those two help us, but I expect there’s going to be two or three more freshmen that will help us this coming season.�

He has played only 17 rounds on the PGA Tour this year, not returning to competition until the Masters after five months of coping with the fallout from extramarital affairs.

Murray is bidding to become the first British player to win the men’s title at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. The last British man to reach the final was Bunny Austin in 1938.

With the loss, Federer will drop to No. 3 in the ATP rankings next week for the first time since Nov. 10, 2003. Since winning the Australian Open in January, he has failed to win a tournament.

Federer said his leg and back have been bothering him since the grass-court tournament in Halle, Germany, the week before Wimbledon. He hadn’t previously mentioned any injury problems. “When you’re hurting, it’s just a combination of many things,�

Federer said. “You just don’t feel as comfortable. You can’t concentrate on each and every point because you do feel the pain sometimes. You tend to play differently than the way you want to play. “Under the circumstances, I think I played a decent match,� he added. “But I’ve been feeling bad for the last two, three matches now. If there’s anything good about this, it’s that I’m going to get some rest.�

Federer was playing in his 25th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal. He had won 23 straight, but now has lost two in a row. Federer fell to Soderling at the French Open earlier this month.

Federer had won 76 of 77 grass-court matches dating to 2003 coming into this month, but has now lost two of the past six, including to Lleyton Hewitt in Halle.

Federer was clearly outplayed Wednesday by a man who has always possessed enormous talent but often failed to live up to expectations.

The 6-foot-5 (1.96 m) Berdych was on the offensive for most of the match, smacking first serves consistently in the 130s mph

(above 210 kph), winding up to rip forehand winners and not buckling under pressure. He hit 51 winners, compared to 44 for Federer. “He played well when he had to,� Federer said. “It was brutal for me. Every time he had a chance, he took it. On the break points, he played great on those. ... When I did have chances, I played poorly. It was just a frustrating match the way it all went.�

Berdych broke Federer four times, with the final break coming in the seventh game of the fourth set. Berdych served 12 aces, was broken just once and saved seven of eight break points.

Federer came in with an 8-2 career record against Berdych, having lost the first match at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the last in Miami this year. “I don’t think I played poorly,� Federer said. “I think he went after it. I know Berdych. I think I’ve played him 10 times already before. That’s the way he plays. “I think he’s been able to play more consistent last year or so, and I was just not able to defend well enough and I didn’t come up with the good stuff when I had to. It was disappointing.�

Lu stunned three-time finalist Andy Roddick in the fourth round, but couldn’t replicate that performance against Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion.

Djokovic lost just 12 points in 13 service games. He won 26 of his first 28 service points, including 15 in a row. The Serb had 29 winners and 17 unforced errors, and converted five of 15 break points. “Nothing is easy these days, especially at this stage of the tournament,� Djokovic said. “But the way I played, I deserved to win. I was hitting all the shots and I was really playing very solid from all parts of the court.

I’m very, very happy with the performance today.�

Djokovic reached the semifinals here in 2007 but had to retire against Nadal with a foot injury while trailing in the third set. “This time physically I’m fitter,� Djokovic said. “Those were very strange conditions and circumstances. I had to play three very long matches in three days and couldn’t hold on in the semifinal. This time everything is in order and I’ll give my best.�

S P ORT S B RIE F S Cunningham’s son dies in hot tub

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say the 2-year-old son of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham is dead after apparently drowning in a backyard hot tub. Las Vegas police Lt.

The child was pronounced dead at St. Rose Dominican Hospital Siena campus in Henderson.

MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — Get ready for Clemens vs.

Armstrong vs. Contador II in 2010 Tour de France

By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press Writer PARIS — Lance Armstrong is giving the Tour de France one last go and two-time winner Alberto Contador is again the man standing between the Texan and an eighth title in cycling’s showcase event.

And this time they aren’t on the same team.

With their rivalry in the open, the action on the road has a chance to chase away the perennial doping cloud that lingers over the threeweek race.

The nearly 200 competitors in the 97th Tour will start Saturday in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam on a 2,263-mile trek that will take them across Belgium and clockwise around France before finishing up in Paris on July 25.

Aside from the short prologue Saturday, organizers have scheduled only one individual time trial, on the next-to-last race day. The course layout offers a bouncy and bracing run over cobblestones, and treks through the Pyrenees that will be crucial to the outcome.

The sport already has had a bumpy ride this year.

Swiss star Fabian Cancellara has been hounded by repeated questions about whether he used a motor hidden in his bike frame while winning the Paris-Roubaix race — claims he has denied as ridiculous. But the International Cycling Union, or UCI, will use a scanner to help make sure no such contraptions are on hand at the Tour.

Armstrong — by far cycling’s biggest star — has been on the defensive over doping allegations from former teammate Floyd Landis, the fellow American who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for cheating.

The 38-year-old Armstrong, who’ll be seeking an eighth victory at his 13th Tour, has had other knocks. He crashed out of the Tour of California and had his training disrupted by two bouts of illness.

In recent weeks, he has showed impressive, if not spectacular, form: He placed third at the not-so-difficult

Christophe Ena/AP file

In this July 21, 2009, file photo, Alberto Contador, right, of Spain looks at American seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, as they climb Grand-Saint-Bernard pass during the 16th stage of the Tour de France cycling race.

Tour of Luxembourg, and second at the mountain-laden Tour of Switzerland.

Contador, who stayed with Astana after Armstrong bolted last year for Team RadioShack, looks nearly invincible. He won the ParisNice, the Tour of Algarve and the Vuelta de Castilla and Leon, and placed second in the Criterium du Dauphine.

Taking a page out of Armstrong’s old playbook, Contador has limited his racing days this year to focus on peaking for the Tour.

Armstrong, who turns 39 in September, knows he faces a stiff test.

“It will be very hard to win the Tour,” he said this month at the Tour of Switzerland. “With my age, and the explosiveness of the other guys, my own struggles with the time trials in the last couple of years ... we’ll have to be smart, to be a bit lucky, to play the team card a little bit.

“There are a handful of guys who are bigger favorites than me.”

He could have been talking about the Schleck brothers, Frank and Andy; Ivan Basso, the Giro d’Italia champion; and Cadel Evans, a two-time runner-up at the Tour. Also in the mix are Russia’s Denis Menchov, Britain’s Bradley Wiggins — fourth at last year’s Tour — and Kazakh star Alexandre Vinokourov, a teammate of Contador’s.

Four of the race’s 20 stag-

es will be in the Pyrenees, the mountains on the FrenchSpanish border. There is a twin billing of the dreaded Tourmalet pass — including an uphill finish on it in Stage 17.

Among other race highlights will be Tuesday’s Stage 3, featuring a total of 8 miles of bone- and bike-jarring cobblestones.

Among sprinters, keep an eye on Britain’s Mark Cavendish. He won six stages last year and is intent on taking home the green jersey as best sprinter, a prize that has eluded him in each of his last three Tours.

U.S. rider Tyler Farrar also will be looking to make his mark in the discipline, as will veterans such as Robbie McEwen of Australia, Oscar Freire of Spain and Thor Hushovd of Spain.

The 2009 Tour was relatively free of doping given how many stars have been caught, linked to drug scandals or hounded by persistent suspicion about cheating in recent years. Mikel Astarloza of Spain, winner of the 16th stage, provided the only blemish, getting disqualified after the Tour for a positive test that occurred before the race.

Even so, France’s antidoping agency accused the UCI of lax controls at last year’s Tour, sparking a new, bitter feud between the two agencies and ending their cooperation on anti-doping checks.

Because of that squabble, the World Anti-Doping Agency will fill the void left by the French agency, deploying six independent observers to keep watch on the UCI’s doping controls at this year’s Tour.

Race organizers say the UCI’s biological passport program and hard penalties are helping to curb doping and catch cheats.

“Without being a 100 percent guarantee, it’s clearly an improvement compared to what was done in the past,” Tour director Christian Prudhomme said in an interview with French sports daily L’Equipe. “I’m convinced there has been a real step forward.”

Armstrong remains in doping investigators’ cross hairs. French prosecutors say his 2009 Astana team is facing a preliminary investigation after the discovery of syringes during last year’s race. That probe is continuing.

Landis dropped a bombshell in April, accusing Armstrong of doping, teaching other riders to cheat, and paying off a top cycling official after allegedly testing positive in 2002. Armstrong has denied Landis’ claims.

U.S. officials are investigating the allegations, and the UCI has asked members in four countries to do so, too.

Despite all of that, Armstrong is focused on the Tour — which will be his last, according to a post he made on Twitter this week.

He doesn’t seem to be stressing out about it, and is thinking of his family. And putting his illustrious career in perspective.

“I have to be happy: 39 years old, I’ve been doing this for 17 years, and I’m still at the front,” he said.

“Despite (what) I read in the newspapers, and on the Internet every day, about people talking about me, the record speaks for itself.

“These days I don’t get too nervous. I’m pretty comfortable in my life right now. If I’m 20 minutes down, I’m still going to go home and have five kids jumping all over me.”

But for now, he wants to get a jump on Contador and Co.

Advice

Brother’s wife at odds with sister

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I recently had a falling out with my brother’s wife, “Cindy.” I offered to take her to lunch to talk, but she sent my brother instead. He belittled me and had a list of grievances that went back seven years.

His major complaint is that I didn’t give Cindy a wedding or baby shower. One of the other bridesmaids hosted a shower. I offered to help, but she declined. When they were expecting their first child, Cindy’s family threw her a baby shower in her hometown. I asked Mom if we should have a shower for Cindy, but she said it wasn’t proper to do this for a family member. Instead, my mother hosted a small dinner party.

Cindy’s other friends didn’t give her any showers, but I’m the only one she blames. Had my brother told me years ago that Cindy expected all this from me, I would have done it. Cindy also accuses me of not babysitting enough, not returning phone calls fast enough, not visiting soon enough to see their firstborn and on and on. Every so often, I do something else wrong, and she gives me the silent treatment.

My parents want us to get along, but won’t get involved. Family gatherings are not enjoyable, and I barely know my nephews anymore.

I am tired of Cindy’s constant expectations.

I don’t purposely hurt her. Meanwhile, she never acknowledges anything nice I do, and neither of them can be bothered to call on my birthday. I have tried to make amends when she is upset with me, but nothing helps. They

are unappreciative and ungrateful. Was I obligated to throw Cindy a shower? -- Baby Blues in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: No. Your mother is correct that it is not proper for a family member to host a shower, although all the bridesmaids could have hosted one together. Cindy is obviously not familiar with those rules of etiquette, and in her defense, neither are most people.

Cindy’s expectations are rather self-centered, but if you want a relationship, you’ll need to be the bigger person. She may not deserve it, but try to apologize sincerely for not anticipating her needs. Say you want to be closer to both of them and it would help if they could teach you their preferences. Ask them to please let you know how to make things better in the future. We hope it helps -- and that it’s worth it.

Dear Annie: My granddaughter is 10 years old. Other than a two-day camping trip with her father, she has never been away from her mother -- no sleepovers with friends or overnighters at either of her grandmothers’ homes.

I work with a woman who has young children, and they have spent the night with friends, grandparents and even a babysitter. I know parenting advice changes over time, so I’m wondering whether

my daughter’s approach is something new. -Wondering Grandma Dear Wondering: Not new, but a bit overprotective.
