Forge official questions new budget By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

High: 87°

A state appellate court has ordered a new trial over a civil complaint filed against local contractor Charles Blalock & Sons alleging that negligence by the business played a part in a 2003 traffic fatality in Blount County. Reginald Smith died when the tractor-trailer truck he was driving overturned on Interstate 140 on a foggy morning and careened into a guardrail. The guardrail had been installed by Blalock employees working on a contract from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, according to court documents. Smith’s son, Reginald Denard Usher, filed a lawsuit saying that the state and Blalock were at fault in the death because the guardrail did not include a device called a “transition panel,” which is designed to divert an incoming car from crashing into the edge of the metal barrier. Without it, the guardrail penetrated the cab of Smith’s truck and struck him. According to the appeals court records, a state official told Blalock employees the day before the wreck that they didn’t need to install the panel while they were in the process of moving the concrete median barrier to which it had been attached. Testimony indicated Smith was speeding when he wrecked, and that it was unsually foggy at the time of the wreck. The jury found that the state and Blalock shared some liability for Smith’s death. However, Judge Dale Workman, acting as claims commissioner, ruled that the jury incorrectly assessed the liability, finding that in essence the party most responsi-

PIGEON FORGE — One official thinks the city isn’t being completely honest about how much it will spend in the coming year, despite assurances from the city’s staff and attorney that everything is being done above-board. Commissioner Randal Robinson has often questioned the city’s other leaders and department heads a hallmark during his year in office, admit-

ting several times he’s made more enemies than friends among his fellow board members. As the City Commission considered the 2010-11 budget this week, Robinson voiced his worries about everything from the public notice provided about the meeting to a pending lawsuit over a pair of stalled developments. Robinson’s questions at times clearly frustrated some, including city attorney Jim Gass who, after several times answering the same

question, offered to put his statements in writing for Robinson. However, Gass did Robinson concede he will need to look at a pair of nobid contracts before he can offer an opinion on them. Robinson says there are $15 million worth of no-bid contracts out there which he says

might mean the city isn’t always getting the best deal. State law does allow for those kinds of contracts for professional services, and Gass said he’s confident those being awarded by the city fall in that category. That is except for two that he promised Robinson he would check on. One is for a toll-free phone service used by the Department of Tourism to handle inquiries that come in after hours. Gass said he has never

The sticky part comes when the same company starts doing the actual construction to repair them. Gass wasn’t sure that would qualify as a professional service. “We have $15 million in unbid contracts,” Robinson said. Vice

The band Diamond Rio will headline Saturday’s Patriot Festival in Pigeon Forge. Diamond Rio, winner of four Country Music Association Vocal Group of the Year awards and a member of the Grand Ole Opry, has hits that include “I Believe,” “One More Day” and “Mama Don’t Forget to Pray for Me.”

Diamond Rio headlines festival By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — Patriots and country music fans from near and far are expected to gather at Pigeon Forge’s appropriately-named Patriot Park Saturday for a little bit of

pre-Independence Day revery. The city’s annual Patriot Festival, which has returned this year to its old name and country roots, is slated to bring a number of bigname acts to a stage in the grassy expanse, including Steve Azar and Academy

of Country Music top vocal group winner Diamond Rio. The free festivities start at 12 p.m. Saturday and will conclude with a bang as fireworks light up the night sky to a background of patriotic music. As organizers celebrate the event’s 20th year, they

have renewed their association with Knoxville radio station WIVK-FM after a couple years bringing in pop acts with WWST-FM. That revived the the tagline, “Froggin’ in the Forge,” the radio station’s personalities See festival, Page A5

SEVIERVILLE — The Planning Commission approved a site plan Thursday for a new route on the extension of the city’s greenway from Veterans Boulevard to Leconte Medical Center. The commission had approved a route for the greenway several years ago, when it was reviewing the overall plan for the greenway, said Bob Parker, director of parks and recreation for the city. That route changed in the meantime, however, in part because the hospital relocated and became Leconte Medical Center. That wasn’t even being discussed when the city initially approved the greenway plan. See greenway, Page A5

Know the difference between ants, termites Do you know the difference between an ant and a termite? Termites: They swarm at very limited times of the year. The body of the termite is about threeeighths of an inch long. They have four wings of equal size. Termites have a straight waist as well as straight antennae. You will notice they are clumsy fliers.

Ants: They swarm throughout the year depending on species. The body of an ant will vary in size depending on the species. They have four wings; two smaller and two larger and pinched waists. Ants have elbowed antennae and are good fliers. When the weather is warm, we spend

more time outside. Unfortunately a lot of pests do, too. In the summer, many

pests move around, build up bigger colonies, and try to visit exactly the same places we do. Some pests are much more common during summer months. These include filth flies, bats, stinging insects, ants, chipmunks and other urban wildlife. You don’t want these pests around to spoil an otherwise pleasant summer, because they could

really ruin your fun. Although many of these pests don’t cause significant damage to your house or business, they can threaten your health and interrupt your daily activities. For example, besides being bothersome, filth flies can also transmit a wide variety of diseases to humans. If you are having trouble

with any of these common summer pests, a pest control professional can do a thorough survey, identify the pests involved, and help you plan and carry out an effective, efficient control program. — Ray Johnson owns Johnson Pest Control in Sevierville.

Editor’s note: This was submitted by the Sevierville Police Department. Home burglaries have been increasing in many communities across the country, including Sevierville. There are many methods to make your home more secure, and current technology provides more choices. The Sevierville Police Department recommends that residents consider the following home security tips: n The more difficult it appears to the criminal, the less likely they are to commit the crime. n Install and use a security system. n Use a light timer to automatically turn on/off an indoor light or two. Occasionally change the timing so more observant criminals won’t detect a pattern. n Install a motion activated and/or timed outdoor light. n Keep shrubbery trimmed near doors and windows so that criminals cannot use them as concealment. n Illuminate entrances and ground level windows. n Never leave doors and windows unlocked. This is good advice even when you are home. n Let a trusted neighbor know when you will not be at home for an extended period so they can be alert for suspicious activity, empty your mailbox and pick-up newspapers. n Avoid displaying valuable items where they can be seen from the outside. n Lock up ladders, ropes and other tools that could be used to gain entry into your home. n Leave a radio on when not at home, even for short periods. n Keep your grass cut, leaves raked, etc., to indicate an occupied home. n If you notice suspicious activity around your home or neighborhood, report it immediately to law enforcement.

Whaley candidate for commissioner in 10th District Submitted report Seymour resident Scott Whaley is a candidate for county commissioner, 10th District, Seat A. He is the nominee of the Democratic Party and will appear on the Aug. 5 general election ballot. “Local jobs, local people — these would be my points of focus as your county commissioner,â€? Whaley said. â€œMy main goals for Sevier County include pushing for a living wage and prioritizing job opportunities for our county citizens. “I will work to raise the standard of living while we continue to grow. I am not against growth. Growth is happening in our county and will not stop. It can be the economic engine that helps bring good jobs and new opportunities,â€? Whaley said. “But growth without thought or planning can be a powerful, negative enemy.â€? As a candidate in the 2006 County Commission race, Whaley was the only candidate from the 10th District and one of three

candidates county-wide to be endorsed by the Sevier County Teachers Association. At a candidates’ introduction held at Seymour Primary S c h o o l in April, Whaley announced Whaley that if elected, he would give a year’s commissioner salary to 10th District schools. “My education began in the Seymour schools; I learned to weld in vocational agriculture at Seymour High School,â€? Whaley said. â€œA Chinese proverb says that you can give a man a fish, and you’ll feed him for a day; you teach a man to fish, and you’ll feed him for a lifetime. The Seymour schools have been feeding me all my life. Now I have an opportunity to give something back.â€? Voters can learn more about Whaley and his campaign at www. ScottWhaley.org.

Seeing wildlife in the backcountry is one of the fun things about hiking. A podcast, developed by Great Smoky Mountains Association, informs the viewer of wildlife behavior, particularly black bears. Go to thegreatsmokymountains.org/hike_smokies_challenge.

Hiking podcast available online Submitted Report

A video podcast, “Day Hiking and Wildlife,� associated with the recently launched program “Reward Yourself — Hike the Smokies Challenge,� is now available for viewing. This six-minute podcast is the second of a three-part series on hiking safety and informs the viewer of wildlife behavior, particularly black bears, and the appropriate responses and regulations to be followed by Park visitors. The podcast, developed by Great Smoky

Mountains Association, can be viewed at thegreatsmokymountains.org/hike_smokies_ challenge. The chance of seeing wildlife in the backcountry is one of the fun things about hiking, but it is important to understand the rules and regulations and proper etiquette for a safe and rewarding experience when visiting. The video podcast is an educational piece about bear country and sets up practical advice and emphasizes park regulations. Kim Delozier, the park’s chief wildlife biologist, is featured in the podcast.

Avoiding bear problems always starts with keeping food and garbage away from bears. Once bears obtain human food, they lose their fear of people and can cause problems or pose risks to people. Never feed bears or discard of food scraps. Backcountry users should never approach bears and keep a safe distance. It is required that people do not approach within 50 yards or closer or any distance that displaces or disturbs a bear. “If the animal changes its behavior, e.g. stops feeding or changes direc-

tions, you are too close,� said Delozier. Reward Yourself — Hike the Smokies Challenge is a program to encourage visitors to get outdoors and exercise while also discovering the Smokies. Pocket-sized booklets to record mileage are available for $1 at the park’s three visitor centers. When a person has “hiked� 100 miles, 250 miles, and 500 miles, he/ she can bring their mileage record to one of the three visitor centers to receive a mileage pin and be recorded in the “Hike the Smokies� 2010 web records.

DeArmond seeking seat on commission Pre-registration for schools scheduled in July Submitted report

David DeArmond has announced his candidacy for the Sevier County Commission, District 10 Seat B. He is running as an independent in the Aug. 5 general election. DeArmond, 61, has been a resident and businessman in Sevier County for 30 years. “I think the people in the 10th District are ready for a change and I believe I am the candidate who can give them that,� he said. “I do not agree with county employees being allowed to hold office. I don’t think raising taxes in this already strained economy would be a wise decision at this time. “I think Sevier County should be trying to attract more industry

and better-paying jobs; it is hard to raise a family on minimum wages and seasonal income,� he said. DeArmond said the roads to Boyds Creek School are too narrow and are causing traffic problems in that area. “I am against any tax increases of any kind. I think the county can cut costs in many areas,� he said. “I think this community has a lot of good ideas on this subject. After all, it’s their money and I am willing to listen.�

budget

3From Page A1

Mayor Kevin McClure — who led the meeting in Mayor Keith Whaley’s absence — said officials are considering a process to secure estimates on those agreements. “That’s what was said last year,� Robinson said, “and we continued to pay them all year and they haven’t been bid.� Robinson also questioned the public notice given about the city’s proposed budget, which passed on its second and final reading Monday with Robinson’s the only vote against. He claimed the document does not accurately reflect numbers in the real budget. Clabo explained the city’s water and sewer funds aren’t included in the public notice numbers because those departments are required by state law to be self-supporting. Those numbers are included in the budget itself and that, combined with some other bookkeeping differences Clabo explained, account for the discrepancy. Robinson also questioned why the debt amount doesn’t include expenses the city is expected to incur over the next several years or the obligations for repayment it already has. Clabo explained why, but Robinson wasn’t convinced. He pointed to a court agreement from several years ago in which the city agreed to provide certain services to a pair of developments on Teaster Lane. The 2005 order requires the city to construct a parking facility, which has been completed, and a trolley center, which is in the works, near property owned by Riverwalk Park LLC and Pigeon Falls LLC. The owners of those companies recently filed a $10 million lawsuit arguing

the city hasn’t completed the parking lot as promised and that has hurt their business. Additionally, the suit contends the city hasn’t moved forward on its promise to “make every effort to open� Pigeon Falls Lane by Oct. 1, 2006. That’s a new road Pigeon Forge was to build off Teaster Lane. The lawsuit also contends the city hasn’t finished an extension of Jake Thomas Road promised by April 1, 2007. In its response, the city contends it is moving forward on the projects, pointing to the terms “make every effort� as a sign the dates given in the order were targets, not deadlines. The filing also maintains the recession — which the developers argue started after both “target� dates for the roads — hampered its ability to complete the work. Robinson suggested the expected expenses from the proposed work and a project to relocate a waterline on Birds Creek Road be included in the current financial documents. “We’re going to be overbudget at our first meeting,� he argued. Several fellow officials said the move wouldn’t make sense because the cost of the work isn’t known and the city hasn’t yet committed to moving forward on the projects, except for the Birds Creek work. Commissioner David Wear, who found himself at odds with Robinson several times during the session, praised the budget before the vote was taken. “I’d just like to say thanks to everybody who worked on this,� Wear said. “I know it’s not the best budget in the world, but I think it’s the best Pigeon Forge can do with the economy the way it is right now.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

nation/world briefs ‘Suicide by cop’ yelled by victim

CHATTANOOGA (AP) — A medical examiner’s report shows that an armed man shot by Chattanooga police who say he rushed at officers outside his house was upset about a foreclosure issue and screaming “suicide by cop.� The preliminary report on the death of 29-year-old Andrew Carr shows 11 gunshot wounds from the predawn encounter Tuesday with three officers who have temporarily been placed on paid administrative leave. The report shows Carr was upset about a foreclosure issue and called 911

The plans call for a traffic signals allowing for pedestrian crossings on Middle Creek Road and Veterans Boulevard, and a concrete plaza with bike racks where the new route crosses

in front of Sevierville Primary School. Parker noted officials hope to begin work later this year. The state has warned several cities that if they don’t use grant funds allocated for greenways and similar purposes, they would be in danger of using them, so the city is moving ahead with plans for the extension this year, he said.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen says Tennessee Bureau of Investigation director Mark Gwyn will serve another term as the head of the state’s investigative agency. Bredesen appointed Gwyn to his first six-year term in 2004 and said he has done an outstanding job and has the support of law enforcement officials across the state.

Obama: Political posturing blocks immigration reform WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday blamed immigration policy gridlock on “political posturing and special interest wrangling.� In a speech Thursday, Obama took Republicans to task, in particular 11 GOP senators who supported recent efforts to improve the immigration system. He did not name any in particular, but told his largely supportive audience at American University that those lawmakers had succumbed to the “pressures of partisanship and election-year politics.� Seeking to rally new momentum to an issue that many advocates had hoped would be completed by this point, Obama laid out his rationale for a comprehensive approach to fixing what he and others, Republicans included, say is a broken immigration system. He said the problem cannot be solved “only with fences and border patrols� but said the government

affirmed the judgment in favor of the state, but found that Workman erred in his rulings for Blalock. The jury, the court ruled, had the proper information and instructions to determine Blalock’s liability. The court also found that TDOT’s decision on whether to install the transition panel did not absolve Blalock of liability; that the judge erred by saying the plaintiff did not carry the burden of proof

have used to promote the festivities and the country format. It also brought back the advertising power of the region’s biggest radio station and the nation’s top country broadcaster, Director of Tourism Leon Downey points out. “We haven’t really had the money to advertise this in the market much, but with a partner like WIVK we get all that publicity from them talking about it on the air,� Downey says. “They’re great to work with. When you’re able to bring in acts like Steve Azar and Diamond Rio, you know you’ve got a really good partner.� The event will offer a chance for several local and up-and-coming groups to show their stuff early in the day, with the Pigeon Forge Community Chorus continuing its tradition of taking part in the festival. They’ll be joined by Grafite, a local quartet of youth ranging from ages 9 to 11 that plays rock and pop hits from the 1970s, and Thompson Square, a husband-wife act that says it works at the intersection of country and rock. TelluRide and Eden’s Edge, both new groups out of Nashville, will also take to the stage, as will singer and songwriter Jimbo Whaley along with his band Greenbrier. Headlining the event are Azar and Diamond Rio. Azar is known for hit songs like “I Don’t Have to be Me (‘Til Monday),� and, “Waitin’ on Joe.� He’s been making a name for himself on the country circuit since his first album was released in 1996. Diamond Rio, meanwhile, is well-established, with a string of hits since its members first formed the group

that Blalock was negligent; and in finding that a reasonable juror could not have found that Smith was “less than 50 percent at fault.� While the plaintiff had asked the appellate court to reinstate the jury’s original verdict in his favor, the appellate court found that would not be the proper course of action under state law, and remanded the case to Blount County for a new trial.

Pigeon Forge’s annual Patriot Festival celebrates its 20th year with Saturday’s event, which will feature performances by six musical acts and other activities: n Noon: Kids Karnival and food vendors open n 1:30: Grafite band n 2:20: Thompson Square n 3:20: TelluRide n 4:30: Pigeon Forge Community Chorus n 5:30: Jimbo Whaley and Greenbrier n 6:20: Eden’s Edge n 7:15: Steve Azar n 8:20: Military tribute by cast of Grand Majestic Theater n 8:30: Diamond Rio n 9:45 (approx.): fireworks.

in 1984. Fans will recognize No. 1 songs like “Meet in the Middle,� “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,� “One More Day,� “Beautiful Mess,� and “I Believe.� The band has claimed a number of awards, including Top Vocal Group from the Academy of Country Music twice and County Music Association’s Vocal Group of the year four separate times, and three of its albums have gone platinum. Throughout the event, a Kids Karnival area will offer games and inflatables to entertain children, while food vendors will peddle their tasty offerings. As nature’s lights go down on the show, the evening will be capped off by a fireworks show that will start about 9:45 p.m. and be broadcast live on WIVK. The radio station will also provide a

selection of patriotic country music to accompany the colorful explosions. Those who plan to attend will likely want to get their early, though. The parking lot at the park typically overflows by late afternoon. “If the weather is good, I’m confident there is going to be a really good crowd,� Downey says. “There’s going to be a heck of a party in Pigeon Forge. I think we’ll have a really good day.� In addition to there being no charge for any of the entertainment, the city is offering free parking at the new lot on Teaster Lane. Those who use that facility will be able to catch a ride on the trolley to the festival. For more information about the event, visit the Web site www.mypigeonforge. com or call 1-800-251-9100.

Obama also said businesses should face consequences for knowingly employing illegal immigrants and that those who enter the country illegally should own up to their actions before they can begin the process of becoming citizens. “The question now is whether we will have the courage and the political will to pass a bill through Congress, to finally get it done,� the president said. “I’m ready to move forward, the majority of Democrats are ready to move forward and I believe the majority of Americans are ready to move forward. But the fact is that without bipartisan support, as we had just a few years ago, we cannot solve this problem.� “Reform that brings accountability to our immigration system cannot pass without Republican votes,� he said. “That is the political and mathematical reality.�

Elvis film back in theaters MEMPHIS (AP) — Elvis Presley is returning to the big screen again in the remastered film “Elvis on Tour: 75th Anniversary Celebration,” which will be shown July 29 at more than 460 movie theaters around the country. The movie will feature remastered footage of concert performances and interviews from the 1972 documentary “Elvis on Tour” — the singer’s last film before he died in 1977.

The film’s release commemorates the 75th anniversary of Elvis’ birth and includes a retrospective from his former wife, Priscilla Presley, and a montage supervised by director Martin Scorsese. Some of the tour footage has never been released. “I was thrilled when I heard fans will be gathering in theaters across America on July 29 for this Elvis experience,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement. “Those of us who witnessed Elvis

commentary

Dual-gender parenting is superior

On Father’s Day, whom do we celebrate? If you are President Obama issuing a Father’s Day proclamation, the answer is: fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, two dads and my personal favorite, the totally genderless “caring guardians.” When it comes to children, so many voices seem to be saying, there’s nothing special to celebrate about the father. And, after all, didn’t the prestigious journal Pediatrics just publish a study showing that lesbian moms are better parents? Fathers don’t seem to matter anymore. Well, if that’s what the science says, maybe we have to face the fact: Men, this is your get out of family free card. For if it is true that fathers don’t matter in particular, that the body is irrelevant, that what counts is adults’ desire to form families, not children’s longing for a mother and a father — then for how long can we continue to hold men accountable for children created from passing sexual acts? Why are these guys deadbeat dads? Why aren’t they just part of the great national trend toward family diversity? But in fact, the science on gay parenting is far less definitive than the media is reporting, especially given the breadth of evidence that children do best raised by married mothers and fathers. Take the Pediatrics study. Here’s what this study didn’t do: It didn’t look at how the average child raised by two mothers fares. This is a volunteer sample, not a random sample of lesbian mothers. That in itself makes it difficult to say how typical these women are of lesbian mothers generally. (The 93 percent retention rate of original participants, amazing after a decade or more, also suggests this is an unusually motivated set of mothers). If you want to know how children fare on average in different family forms, you need a probability sample, not a self-selected sample. Here’s another thing this study did not do: It did not study a comparison group. The reports of the mothers on their children’s outcomes were compared statistically to children in a database known as the Achenbach normative sample of American youth. This is a system designed primarily for “screening” to identify children in possible need of interventions and evaluation, not to settle family structure questions. The sample included children in a wide variety of family structures, making the study’s relevance to the marriage debate particularly unclear. Here is what this study did: It asked a self-selected group of lesbian mothers how their kids are doing. “Great!” they said. Their children are doing so fine, in fact, that even when lesbian families fall apart, the study concludes these mothers report no ill effects on their children’s emotional well-being. “Within the lesbian family sample no ... differences were found ... between offspring whose mothers were still together and offspring whose mothers were separated.” Given what we know about the effects of divorce and family transitions on children, this “no difference” result is improbable in the extreme. We cannot know for sure, but could we have here a self-selected sample of highly motivated women anxious to validate their own mothering, and to further the great civil rights cause of the century? I know there are lesbians who are good and caring mothers. The research shows this, just as it shows there are other single mothers who are good mothers. But why is it that 50 years into this debate we still have no research that looks at a nationally representative sample of children raised by two lesbians and follows them into adulthood and compares how they fare? And why do we lack even one single study, based on even non-representative samples, that looks at how children raised by two gay men fare? And how can educated people continue to make the claim the science has disproven the advantages of dual-gender parenting, when the actual scientific data is so weak? — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

Be safe on the Fourth If you must use fireworks, at least use them safely and not around kids With Independence Day come fireworks. You’ve seen the tents set up all over this county, with all manner of sparklers, firecrackers and bottle rockets for sale. Those who use them are less interested in celebrating America’s freedom than in seeing how much noise and chaos they can create. If you think setting off fireworks is a rite of passage, a harmless tradition that requires no caution, then think again. While we don’t want to spoil a good display of amateur pyrotechnics, keep in mind that those fireworks you buy from the temporary tents can injure, maim and kill. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that there were seven fireworks-related deaths in 2008 and 11 in 2007. About 7,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for injuries associated with fireworks in 2008, and most injuries occur around the Fourth of July. Burns are the most common injuries from fireworks. Injuries most often

involve hands, fingers, eyes and legs. Those fireworks shows in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are done by professionals. Those you hear set off in the neighborhood are not. They are traditional and, to many, as much a part of the Fourth of July as picnics, parades and flag-waving. But you don’t usually put out an eye or go to the ER doing those things. At least practice some measure of safety this weekend. Here are some tips from those who know: n Do not let children under 14 use fireworks. n Supervise individuals under age 18. n Only buy from reliable fireworks sellers. Read and follow all warnings and instructions.

Public forum Sevierville blows through $150 million with little to show except major debt

Editor: I’d like to call on my fellow citizens, residents and property owners in Sevierville to take notice of what’s going on in our city. Over the last five years, our leaders have issued $150 million in bonds as part of a Central Business Improvement District (CBID) plan to construct many public infrastructure and facility projects. To date, only the Events Center is complete, and the expanded 36-hole golf course is Sevierville’s own “big dig” project and will always be a money loser. All the other projects have been put on hold because, you guessed it, there’s not enough money left. So they’ve blown through $150 million (actually only $135 million net after the fees and escrowed interest were paid) and the retail development around the new convention center that was to pay it back never materialized. The result is a $7.5 million interest-only debt payment each year that is being paid with $3.5 million in CBID taxes collected and about $4 million borrowed from the CBID escrow account. Yes, our city is paying debt with borrowed funds. That’s like you and I paying our VISA with a MasterCard. Even worse, the CBID debt payments jump to $12 million in a few years and to almost $20 million shortly thereafter when principal payments occur. One-half of the bonds issued have no principal payments until 2029. Our school children will be waiting 30 years for

their share of the sales tax. Truth is, between all the refinancing, the bonds issued, and the interest rate swap agreements entered into, it’s hard to know exactly what the payments will be in five years. Just ask your aldermen and see if any of them can tell you what the payments will be. I can tell you that the circumstance we’re in is the same as many other cities across America; just Google “Chapter 9 Municipal Bankruptcy.” So what are our leaders doing? Hoping a large retail development fails out of the sky and lands smack dab just inside their CBID boundary. Sevierville’s leaders are waiting and hoping something happens, because they have you, the taxpayer, as their back-up plan. You see, the City of Sevierville currently collects about $2 million in property tax revenues from Sevierville property owners each year. In order to meet the current and future debt shortfall, the city only has to quadruple your property taxes and their problems are solved. Best of all, if the city does have to file Chapter 9, the city leaders will only have to do the same thing they’re doing now, which is nothing. The aldermen won’t even have to vote for a property tax increase; the courts will require it. The original concept plan for the CBID was a great idea. But like a lot of us are experiencing, old plans no longer work. What is the new plan? So get informed and get some answers, or pay the price. Eric Johnson Sevierville

Titans’ back-up QB Simms arrested in New York By COLLEEN LONG Associated Press Writer NEW YORK — Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Chris Simms was arrested Thursday in New York City on charges of driving while on drugs, police said. S i m m s Chris Simms is the son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms. The 29-year-old was stopped in Manhattan at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Police say he appeared to be slurring his speech and his eyes were red, and appeared to have been smoking marijuana. Simms was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal court. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. Calls to his agent and the Titans weren’t immediately returned. Simms started 16 games during his six-year NFL career. He came to the Titans after playing for the Denver Broncos for a season as an unrestricted free agent. He was a thirdround draft pick by Tampa Bay in 2003. In 2006, Simms had emergency surgery to remove his spleen, which ruptured during a game against Carolina. His father is now an announcer and analyst for CBS Sports and led the Giants to two Super Bowls, playing 14 seasons with the team.

Smokies’ manager Dancy selected for Futures Game SEVIERVILLE – Tennessee Smokies manager Bill Dancy has been named to the U.S. Team coaching staff in the 2010 XM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday, July 11, 2010 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Dancy will serve on a staff, led by U.S. Team manager Don Baylor, that includes four other Minor League managers — Mike Sarbaugh of the Columbus Clippers (Indians), Steve Decker of

the Fresno Grizzlies (Giants), Tony Franklin of the Trenton Thunder(Yankees)andBrian Poldberg of the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Royals) — and one pitching coach — Rod Nichols of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Phillies). Dancy, who led the Smokies to a First-Half Southern League North Division Champion-ship, is in his first season at the helm of the Smokies. He has led the Smokies to a league-

best 42-27 record in 2010. Dancy spent the past 30 years within the Philadelphia Phillies Bill Dancy (1978-2009) and Kansas City Royals (2009) organizations, as a player, manager or coordinator. Dancy began his managerial career in 1979 in Class A

Spartanburg, after six years as an infielder in the Phillies’ minor league system. The Florida native then managed at Peninsula (A, 1980-82), Reading (AAA, 1983-84, 1988, 1994-95), Portland (A, 1985-86), Maine (A, 1987), Scraton/Wilkes-Barre (AAA, 1989-91) and Clearwater (A, 1992-93, 1998-99). Dancy has compiled a minor league managerial record of 1,560 wins and 1,441 losses for a winning percentage .520.

His 1,560 wins put him fourth among active minor league managers. Former Smokies manager, and current Iowa Cubs skipper, Ryne Sandberg has been named to the World Team coaching staff. The XM All-Star Futures Game features the top Minor League prospects competing in a nine-inning contest as part of Taco Bell All-Star Sunday. The game will begin at 6

the school’s best classes of athletes in recent memory. But the 19th-year head coach has some optimism that his young Bears are up to the task. “Obviously its hard to replace (our seniors), but I think we’re going to be OK,” Brewer said Thursday. “As long as we’ve got enough kids playing that cannot stand to lose, I think we’ll be competitive. It was that kind of refuse-to-lose team effort that pushed the Bears to a 10-0 regular season in 2009. “They did not want to lose,” Brewer said. “And it takes that kind of mind-set to get you through some games. Because you’re always going to come across some tough weeks

— maybe you’re not playing up to par, or maybe things just aren’t going well. You’ve got to have that mind-set to push you through. And last year’s crowd had that, and I’m hoping that this year’s crowd can carry that on.” This year the Purple and White will have new starters at a lot of offensive positions, especially along the line, where they lost all five starters to graduation. Brewer seems to have confidence in the newcomers in the trenches, though, led by o-line coach Bill Galloway. “I think our offensive line will do well,” Brewer said. “We’re going to be more inexperienced, but we do have some people there that saw significant action last year. If we can get a couple of young guys or inexperienced guys to come around, I think our offensive line will be fine.”

Another spot with inexperience but big potential is at quarterback. Senior Danny Chastain, who saw limited action backing up All-IMAC QB Zach Flynn, is action personified, but hasn’t taken very many meaningful snaps under center. “Danny can do a lot of things,” Brewer said. “(But) he’s still got some work to do. We expect big things out of Danny, we really do, and he’s very capable of making big plays. He’s got some work do though. We’ve got some things in differently this year, and we’re going to have to get him a lot of reps to get him comfortable with it. Zach Flynn had a great senior year, but his junior year he had to work through some things and just kept working and getting better and better, and Danny if he keeps working, he’s going to get better and better.”

Backing up Chastain will be Cullen Lavoy, who Brewer said also had a very good spring. “I was real pleased with the way the quarterbacks got better as time went on,” the coach said. At running back last year’s starter Dakota Cogdill returns as well as junior Bubba Floyd, who got some varsity carries last season. At receiver the Bears should have their trademark depth, starting out with three potential bigplay threats in Bryant Gilson, Josh Johnson and Brett Pippin. “With what we like to do we need eight receivers — two at each position — and I think we’ll find that,” Brewer said. “It may be some younger kids that have to step up, but we saw some things in the spring, found a few surprises, and I think we’ll get

there. We’ll have our eight receivers and I think we’ll be good at running back and good at receiver.” Defensively Brewer liked what he saw when his team scrimmaged with Science Hill this spring, though the session was cut short by a torrential downpour. “I saw some good things in our scrimmage with Science Hill, but I think we only got 20 offensive plays in before it started pouring. So we didn’t get a chance to look at a some of our younger guys which I was really anxious to see,” Brewer said. “I was very impressed and encouraged by our defensive front. I felt like that we played the run extremely well. Our up-front people on defense really played well — beat their blocks, made tackles and pursued well. I was very encouraged. We may have a little inexperience

in our linebackers, but in the secondary I think we’re going to be pretty good.” Leading that strong defensive line will be returning starter Jake Reppert and contributors John Berry and Thomas Hamilton. Brandon Tinker should also make an impact. “We saw a lot of things in practice during the spring that were pleasing and encouraging,” Brewer said. “It’s just a lot of holes to fill, it was an outstanding senior class and they’ve left big footprints.” The team starts practice July 21 before making way to the annual McCallie Camp on August 1. They will then play the 2nd Annual Sevier County Football Jamboree on August 13 before facing William Blount August 20.

G-P Girls

Macy Shults and Lacee Tinker. Throw in rising junior three-point sniper Sami John, promising rising sophomores Karsen Sims and Sasha Moore, and rising freshmen Micki Werner and Courtney Malone, and the Blue-and-Gold ladies feel they can be a force to be reckoned with in District 3-AA. “It’s too early to tell who is going to be the starting five,” said Parton. “But we’ve got a good eight or nine (girls returning that will be the team’s nucleus).” G-P realizes that most everyone expects Pigeon Forge, Fulton and AustinEast to battle for the top spot in the district, but the Blue and Gold ladies expect to make things difficult for the favorites. “I feel that we should be able to compete with anybody in our district,” said Parton. “We should do better in our district than we did last year.” Although Parton has

worked with most of the girls on the current G-P team as an assistant, being the head of this year’s team has been an entirely different experience for the first-year coach. “It’s a lot more exciting as a head coach,” said Parton. “I get to jump up and down on the sideline, and basically cause a scene. Basically, I feel way more involved.”

While not on the top level of players available, Gay was expected to draw interest from a number of teams. He canceled a planned visit to Minnesota when the Grizzlies stepped forward with their offer. The most noteworthy development on the first full day of free agency didn’t involve a player. The Los Angeles Lakers announced that Phil Jackson would return for a run at a third straight title and a 12th as an NBA coach. “Count me in,” Jackson said in a news release. “After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It’ll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one.” James received visits in Cleveland from the New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, and he’s set for more in the coming days before deciding where he will play next season. In the meantime, deals are getting done around him. Darko Milicic — drafted right after James with the No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft — agreed to a four-year deal with the Timberwolves. It includes about $16 million in guaranteed money, despite what’s been a disappointing career for the center from Serbia. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade also went in the top five of that draft. They’ve become superstars and will be paid accordingly. Both players were in Chicago, where Wade met with the Bulls and Nets, and Bosh was visited by Miami. They will sit down with Knicks officials on Friday. Bosh seemed pleased with what he heard from the Heat. “Off to a great start,” he wrote on Twitter. “First one went well. Pat Riley is very passionate about winning.” After years of slashing payroll so it could be a player in this year’s mar-

ket, New York finally got to make its pitch to James. Arriving just as the Nets left, the Knicks spent more than two hours speaking with James and his advisers. “I think it went well,” New York coach Mike D’Antoni said. “But obviously everyone that gets the chance to talk to him will probably say the same thing.” The Nets felt even better about their performance, which came from a group headed by new owner Mikhail Prokhorov and part-owner Jay-Z, James’ longtime friend. A person briefed on the meeting was told it was “spectacular.” “So far we have met with LeBron,” team president Rod Thorn said. “Told our story and we’ll see what happens.” The Heat, Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and the Cavaliers also are expected to meet with James before the end of the week. While James, Wade and Bosh wait, the next big deal could go to Joe Johnson. The Atlanta JournalConstitution reported

Wednesday that Atlanta was prepared to offer a maximum-value contract to its All-Star guard, who also met with New York and Miami after free agency opened Thursday. Other top names in the class, considered the deepest free agent pool ever, include Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki and Carlos Boozer. But the only other deal since the market opened was the five-year, $32 million contract Drew Gooden agreed to with the Milwaukee Bucks. Deals can’t be signed until July 8. There is a moratorium period while the salary cap for next season is determined. ——— AP Sports Writers Tom Canavan in East Rutherford, N.J., and Jon Krawczynski in Minneapolis, contributed.

in recent summer camp action. “It’s all brand new to the girls, a learning experience for us all. “In the past, we’ve played a lot of zone trapping. We’re going to try to play more man this year to cause turnovers. We tried a lot of new things defensively and offensively at summer camp. “The girls are ready to try new things this year, because after a tough year last year, all these girls want to do now is win. They’re willing to try anything, and they’re definitely working hard and are having good mind frames about it.” The Lady Highlanders did lose Leah Bryan and Alisha Johnson to graduation, but G-P returns five rising seniors to this year’s squad, including Beka Owens, Stephanie Taylor, Morgan Dodgen,

Phil Jackson returning to coach Lakers next season

Serena to face Zvonareva in final

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer LOS ANGELES — After just one relaxing week in Montana, Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson decided he can handle another season of the NBA grind. The two-time defending champions locked up their most important free agent of the summer Thursday when Jackson announced he’ll return next season, putting off retirement for at least another year to chase his 12th NBA title. Jackson said last week he was worn out and leaning toward retirement after the Lakers’ third straight long season culminating in the NBA finals. He changed his mind after a week of rest and health evaluation at his offseason home, signing up for the unprecedented chance to win three consecutive NBA championships for the fourth time in his career. “Count me in,� Jackson said. “After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It’ll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one.� Jackson, who will turn 65 later this year, is the winningest coach in playoff history and the most successful coach in NBA history by almost any measure. He has a league-best .705 regular-season winning percentage, a record 225 postseason victories

and two more titles than Boston’s Red Auerbach, winning five championships with Kobe Bryant’s Lakers and six with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. His 1,098 regularseason victories are fifthmost in league history. The Lakers beat the Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA finals last month to claim their second straight title, wrapping up a season in which Jackson navigated Bryant, Pau Gasol and wild-card newcomer Ron Artest through numerous injuries to win the franchise’s 16th title. Los Angeles has made the finals in seven of Jackson’s 10 seasons with the club, and they’ll be among the early favorites to win it all again in 2011. The Lakers have surrounded Bryant with a core in its prime and signed to long-term contracts. “We’re extremely pleased that Phil has decided to return,� Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. “He’s not only the best coach for this team, but quite simply the best coach in the history of the NBA.� Jackson’s health has been a constant concern in recent years, but he apparently feels strong enough for at least another year. The former New York Knicks player sometimes has difficulty getting up and down from the bench while living with two replaced hips, a sore knee requiring a brace under his suit, and a previous heart problem.

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer WIMBLEDON, England — After Serena Williams moved within a victory of her fourth Wimbledon championship and 13th Grand Slam title overall, she was asked to assess the woman she’ll face in Saturday’s final, littleknown Vera Zvonareva of Russia. “I don’t think she does anything terrible. I think that’s the best way to describe her game,� Williams said. “She does everything good.� That’s a fair, if not necessarily charitable, scouting report. Minutes later came a follow-up: Is there anything Williams herself does “terrible� in tennis or in life? She hemmed and hawed, then replied, “I don’t know. That’s a good question. I’m stumped.� It’s difficult to find any flaws in Williams’ play right now. The No. 1-ranked American has won all 12 sets she’s played this fortnight, set a Wimbledon record with 80 aces in the tournament, and reached a third consecutive final at the All England Club by beating Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 7-6 (5), 6-2 Thursday. “Well,� the defending champion said, “I’m hoping to still peak in the final.� That must be a daunting prospect for the 21stranked Zvonareva, who eliminated Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in Thursday’s other semifinal. Zvonareva is the secondlowest-ranked woman to reach a Wimbledon final, had never gotten past the fourth round here, and will be playing in a title match

Serena Williams of the United States makes a forehand return shot to Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, Thursday, July 1. for the first time in 30 Grand Slam tournaments. “I always believe in myself. I don’t care about what everyone says,� said Zvonareva, who drapes a pink, yellow and blue Wimbledon towel over her head during changeovers to block distractions. “I know if I play my best tennis, I can beat anyone. ... I never look at any odds or comparisons.� So she might not know that Williams is 12-3 in major finals. Or care that Williams has won five of their previous six meetings. “On paper, it looks like I should win,� said Williams, who is wearing glittering, silver nail polish that sometimes reflects the sun’s rays. “But Vera, she’s beaten some good people. Her last two matches, she’s been down a set, so she’s obviously a fighter.� For Williams, it actu-

ally might be refreshing to look across the Centre Court net and see someone other than her older sister Venus. Serena never has beaten anyone other than Venus in a Wimbledon final, winning all-Williams matchups in 2002, 2003 and 2009. Five-time champion Venus got the better of Serena in the 2008 championship match at the grass-court tournament. “That’s interesting. I

guess the crowd should like that — not another Williams-Williams,� said their mother and coach, Oracene Price. At least one of her daughters has reached the Wimbledon final in 10 of the past 11 years. Not facing Venus on Saturday “makes it easier� for Serena to give it her all, Price said. Venus isn’t even in England; she flew home to Florida. She lost in Tuesday’s quarterfinals to the 82nd-ranked Pironkova, who along with the 62nd-ranked Kvitova was trying to become the first unseeded women’s finalist at Wimbledon. Pironkova’s match against Zvonareva began with dozens of empty green seats in the stands, perhaps because of the lunchtime start — or the low-wattage names on the marquee. Still, the tennis was entertaining, with both women pounding shots. There was an odd delay in the second game, when Zvonareva’s backhand landed in the net, and she immediately grabbed the ball and squeezed, showing it was flat. She handed the ball to chair umpire Eva Asderaki, who announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, the ball is broken, and according to the rules, we will replay the point.�

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE ATHLETICS

Georgia athletic director apologizes after DUI arrest By DORIE TURNER Associated Press Writer ATLANTA — University of Georgia athletic director Damon Evans apologized Thursday after he was arrested for drunken driving, saying he “failed miserably� in being a leader and representing the school well. A state trooper pulled over Evans late Wednesday night for driving erratically in Atlanta. Evans, 40, smelled of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test, police said. He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain a lane.

“My behavior and my actions are not indicative of what we teach our student athletes,� Evans said during a news conference at the Athens campus. “My actions have put a black cloud over our storied program.� Also in the car with Evans was 28-year-old Courtney Fuhrmann. She was charged with disorderly conduct after police said she repeatedly ignoring warnings to stay inside the 2009 BMW while the trooper was conducting the field sobriety test. Authorities did not know the relationship between Fuhrmann and

Evans. “I honestly don’t want to talk to any press,� Fuhrmann said by telephone. Damon Evans Evans, a married father of two, was arrested the day before his new, five-year contract with the university began. He has publicly campaigned against drunken driving, including filming a public service announcement that airs during home football games to the crowd at Sanford Stadium.

“If you drink and drive, you lose,� Evans says in the message. The athletic director hopes to continue in his position, which he has held since July 2004. School president Michael Adams said he was extremely disappointed, but will not decide on disciplinary measures until there is a full review by the university staff and legal office. “Certainly this is not an example of the kind of leadership that I expect our senior administrators to set,� Adams said in a statement. Evans — a former

Georgia football player — became head of the athletic department in 2004, replacing Vince Dooley, who was forced to step aside after a nasty spat with Adams. Dooley had been at the school for 40 years, including 25 years as athletic director. Evans, one of Dooley’s top aides, became the Southeastern Conference’s first black athletic director, and immediately shook up the department. He reduced the number of associate and assistant athletics directors and fired three of Dooley’s longtime lieutenants. Evans bolstered the

department’s bottom line, leading it to a record profit in 2005 and funneling millions of dollars into athletics facilities and renovations. He was rewarded in February when Adams signed him to the new contract that raised his pay to $550,000 — a $90,000 raise. More importantly, Adams said at the time, the athletic director ran a clean program. “There’s not been a whiff of impropriety during that six-year period, and when you’re the president of an institution, that means a whole lot,� Adams told the Athens Banner-Herald.

La Russa: States’ rights at stake in Arizona ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa stands behind his statement supporting Arizona’s new immigration law, saying it’s all about states’ rights. La Russa said Thursday that he was speaking as a citizen and not as a high-profile manager earlier this week when he responded to a question about a Tea Party protest outside Busch Stadium during a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. La Russa said then that protesters had a right to have their say, adding that he supported the measure that calls for tougher enforcement against illegal immigrants because

the federal government has not been effective. “It has nothing to do with Arizona,� La Russa said. “What it has something to do with is that states should take care of what the federal government’s not taking care of. That’s their responsibility.� When it comes to politics, La Russa declined to identify his affiliation, saying he goes “issue to issue.� He noted his father was a union man in the Teamsters. “Sometimes I’m over there,� he said. “Sometimes I’m over here.� Gov. Jan Brewer signed a state law in April requiring police officers to

question a person’s immigration status if there’s reasonable doubt they might be in the country illegally. Opponents of the law have called for Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game out of Arizona. Three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols, one of several Hispanic players on the Cardinals roster, had no comment on La Russa’s statements. “Don’t talk to me about that,� Pujols said. “It’s

not my business.� Reliever Kyle McClellan, the team’s player representative, said he didn’t think the issue would affect the All-Star Game and noted that there had been revisions to the law. “Everybody’s entitled to their opinion, and obviously every major league player is not going to have the same opinion,� McClellan said. “It doesn’t affect me, so I don’t really have an opinion on it.�

Taking Care of Business New show spotlights talents of teenagers By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor PIGEON FORGE — By the time they were born, Elvis Presley fans were marking more than 15 years since his death, but that hasn’t stopped a trio of performers from keeping the King’s memory alive for those who come to see their new show at the TCB Theatre at the Elvis Museum and Gift Shop. About a month into its five-month run, “Good Rockin’ Tonight” is the name of the revue that takes the audience through Presley’s life from his musical beginnings in the 1950s at Sun Records through the end of his career in the 1970s. Sixteen-year-old Will Reynolds and 15-year-olds Kelsey Wypych and Sunni Lynn make up the cast of the twohour show. “Elvis fans see Elvis in three decades,” said Lynn McAllister, owner of the museum and theater and mother of Sunni Lynn. “They see him in the ’50s, the ’60s and the ’70s. In the ’50s, he wore the gold lame suit and defined rockabilly. In the ’60s, they picture him in the black leather suit doing the ’68 comeback and his movies. And in the ’70s they see him in the jumpsuit doing his own tour. They’re not many Elvis tribute artists that offer all three decades, but this show does.” McAllister developed the show specifically for the teenage cast. She said entertainers between 13 and 16 years old often fall in a gap where it’s preferred to have younger performers who have parental supervision or more mature older performers who have passed through those awkward teen years. “So I got really brave and thought, you know what, I’m gonna put them all on one stage and we’re going to see what we get,” McAllister said. “So I wrote the show around the talent that I knew I had.” She had help with the choreography, lighting, sound and costume and developed “Good Rockin’ Tonight.” “Our first show was June the 5th and we’ve been building since then and they’ve been getting better and better,” she said. The performers had a bit to learn to prepare for the show. Will, who began performing about four years, was more familiar with songs from Presley’s later years. “I probably had to learn a few,” he said. “Mostly I had to learn them from the earlier years.” “I had to learn a ton,” Wypych said. “Some of them I knew, but a lot are very new to me.” With her mother as owner of the museum, Sunni didn’t have to do much homework. “I knew most of them, but that’s just because I’m here every day and hear all the music,” she said “So it wasn’t too hard for me.” The show starts out with songs from the start of Presley’s career at Sun Records and segues into his years at RCA, his movies, the 1968 comeback and the 1970s. “We just kind of progress chronologically through Elvis’ music,” McAllister said. “That’s what really makes this different.” A movie screen is used as a backdrop for the stage, showing still and moving pictures of Presley that correspond to the song being presented. How the songs are presented is different as well, McAllister said, with all three performers taking a role as a solo artist or as a duo or group. Sunni, for example, performs at least one Presley song as a saxophone solo. One of the crowd’s favorite performances, they say, is their group production of “G.I. Joe.” The response from the public has been good, McAllister said, with many surprised at the quality performance offered by the teens. “It’s really difficult, to be honest with you, to convince people up front that this show is the caliber it is as far as the

Laughter can be the best medicine The atmosphere was tense as trucking labor representatives sat around the bargaining table with management. A union spokesperson emphatically stated membership would never accept the offered contract. A management official countered, “The economy is a disaster. Quite frankly, all the company can afford is a three percent pay hike. And then, about this medical insurance question...� That’s when the burliest of the assembled truck drivers said, “Let’s break for coffee. We’ve been over this a dozen times already this morning.� Then he reached under his chair, pulled out a box and removed the string securing it. To each person at the negotiating table he distributed one gingerbread man. “I baked these myself last night,� he said. “I thought by now we’d all want to bite somebody’s head off.� After an awkward moment of stunned silence the tension in the room cracked with laughter from all sides of the bargaining table. Maybe everything didn’t go exactly “hunkydory� for everyone after the laughter broke the tension, but an agreement was reached before the meeting adjourned. Have you ever been in such a tension-filled situation? Have you experienced a tense atmosphere grow lighter by a sudden sprinkle of humor? I thought of such an occasion recently when I opened an envelope from a Children’s Research Hospital and saw a photo of cancer-stricken children being entertained by a clown. Several years ago, I had completed a speaking engagement in Detroit when I received a phone call from West Tennessee informing me my mother had suffered a stroke. She was in intensive care and non-responsive to anyone who spoke to her. I flew back to Knoxville, drove to Gatlinburg, and then my wife Jean and I made the 360-mile automobile trip to the Jackson hospital. When we entered the waiting room, the atmosphere was somber and tense. Mother had still responded to no one. When our family was allowed to go into her room, I walked up to her bed, looked at her lying there expressionless. I didn’t say a word. Instead, I made a funny face and stuck out my tongue at her, rapidly, several times like a snake. Mother laughed — her first reaction to anything since the stroke. In Detroit, I had spoken on the topic of “A Strategy For Winning� and told the story of Norman Cousins. In his best-selling “Anatomy Of An Illness� book he documented his success-

ful fight against a crippling disease for which doctors gave a recovery chance of one in 500. But one doctor accepted Cousins’ challenge to work with him to overcome the odds. With Cousins’ selfdesigned humor treatments, based on watching funny movies and old “Candid Cameraâ€? episodes, he found that 15 minutes of hardy laughter could produce two hours of pain-free sleep — quite an accomplishment when suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis, a rare connective tissue degenerative disease. Blood samples also showed his inflammation level was lowered after humor treatments. Eventually, Cousins was able to reverse the illness completely. Until the “New England Journal of Medicineâ€? published the case study in 1979, few considered the therapeutic uses of humor. Attention increased when Cousins’ book was also published in 1979. Today, interest in humor’s effects is featured in psychoneuroimmunology, the study of psychological factors, the brain and the immune system interacting to influence health. Dr. Lee Berk, psychoneuroimmunologist and professor at California’s Linda Loma University School of Medicine and Public Health, said: “If you took what we now know about laughter’s capability to manipulate the immune system, and bottled it, it would need FDA approval.â€? Are you tense? Feeling ill? Maybe just not in a good mood? See the humor in something. Laugh at a good story. Watch a funny movie. Bake a gingerbread man and bite somebody’s head off. — Š 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, “A Strategy For Winning.â€?

Advice

Give wife her space as she deals with issues about marriage

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My wife of 18 years left me. The day started out like any other. I got dressed for work, gave her a kiss on the lips and told her, “I love you. See you later.” She said, “Love you, too.” When I got home, I discovered that she had taken all of her things, plus a few of mine and both of our dogs. She didn’t give a reason. She only left a short note saying, “I have to get away. I can’t take anymore.” She has been gone almost a week, and I haven’t heard a word. I know she was a bit depressed after a coworker accidentally totaled her car. We work in the same office and were around each other 24/7. We did everything together. We had arguments like any other married couple, but I didn’t think any of them were serious. The last one was two weeks ago, but we made up, and I thought we both had gotten over it. This would be easier to deal with if I didn’t still love her with all my heart. I can’t sleep or eat. I wish she would call and talk to me so we could work this out. If it means going to a marriage counselor, I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to get her back. Please help. — Depressed and Confused in Colorado Dear Colorado: Too much togetherness can be suffocating — small problems are magnified, and things that might be overlooked become intolerable because there is no perspective. We also suspect you may have been somewhat oblivious to your wife’s unhappiness. Right now, she needs a

little space. If she contacts you, offer to go for counseling. If she doesn’t, ask a relative, mutual friend or co-worker to intercede on your behalf so you can see whether the relationship can be mended. Dear Annie: We are trying to buy our dad a birthday present. He has four children, all adults, but only one is married. Here is the dilemma: The gift we have in mind will cost $300. Does each adult pay the same amount, or are my married brother and his wife considered one? Please tell us the fairest way to split the costs. — Baffled in California Dear Baffled: There is no definitive rule. In some families, the cost is split according to employment -- those with full-time jobs pay a full share, those with part-time jobs pay half, and those who are unemployed contribute what they can. The best way to do this without rancor is to hold a sibling meeting (include your brother’s wife) and reach an agreement about what is fair. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Elaine from California,” who said she was inspired by another letter in your column about a woman who couldn’t stay sober. She asked if she was too old to change, and her counselor replied, “Is your

heart still beating?” Her story hit me right in my middle. I am 67. I have had three back surgeries and will always have physical limitations. I also live with chronic depression and am overweight. It seems like I have struggled with one or all of these conditions my entire life. As I get older, I am more and more weary. I have a psychiatrist, a therapist, a good back doctor and the best primary care doctor. And I have asked each of them whether there is any use in thinking I can improve my condition. They all gave me positive answers, but “Elaine’s” letter rang a new bell. Even when some parts are broken, there are parts that still work. Here is one of my favorite quotes for lifting the spirits, from Leonard Cohen: Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in. — Ellen in Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
