SEVIERVILLE — The man who says he rescued a stranger this week from a fire said he’s no hero, but thinks a higher power was at work. On Wednesday Ron Watkins found himself on Douglas Lake, looking at flames leaping from the deck of a house on Red Bud View Lane. A neighbor identified Watkins as the man who rescued Steve Lane from the burning house. When contacted by The Mountain Press, Watkins said it was he who rescued Lane.

Lane, who couldn’t be reached Thursday, had called his rescuer a “guardian angel.” Watkins said he’s not sure that label applies to him, but he thinks it might apply to what happened. “I felt like something pulled me ... like the Lord was moving me,” he said. Watkins, who is retired from Tennessee RV, has been getting up early to fish and boat on Douglas Lake because of the hot weather. Rising early hasn’t increased his catch, but it See hero, Page A4

Ron Watkins said he was the boater who noticed the flames on the deck of a Red Bud View Lane house Wednesday and awakened occupant Steve Lane. Lane credited Watkins with saving his life.

Sevier County volunteer firefighters work to keep a large propane tank cool during a mobile home fire Wednesday night. The call came in about 9:30 p.m. after a gas grill caught fire on the back deck, which quickly spread to the home in the 3900 block of Thomas Cross Road. Sevier County’s department received assistance from Chestnut Hill, English Mountain and Caton’s Chapel departments. A family with four children lived in the mobile home, but everyone got out safely, officials said.

Lea Michele in a scene from “Glee.� Michele was nominated Thursday for best actress in a comedy for her role in “Glee.� The program was also nominated for best comedy. The awards show will be Aug. 29.

‘Glee,’ ‘Pacific’ top list of TV Emmy nominees LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Glee,� the spunky TV musical comedy about high school misfits and the teachers who shepherd them, was a top Emmy nominee Thursday with 19 bids, including for best comedy series and stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele. “I’m in such shock,� Michele said from New York. The leading nominee was the gritty, unsparing World War II drama, “The Pacific,� with 24 nominations. But the miniseries, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks as a companion to their acclaimed “Band of Brothers,� failed to produce the same buzz as its European theater of war predecessor. Conan O’Brien is gone from NBC’s “The Tonight Show� but his short tenure as host is not forgotten: The late-night show with him at the helm nabbed a nomination as best variety, music or comedy series, while resurrected Jay Leno was snubbed in the category. Don Mischer, executive producer of the Emmy Awards telecast that will air on NBC, said he wasn’t surprised by O’Brien’s nomination. The comedian exited “Tonight� after rejecting the network’s attempt to push him and the show to a post-midnight slot to make room for Leno’s return to latenight. “Everybody understands what happened,� Mischer said. “And it was an opportunity for Emmy voters to like give him some support, you know. And he deserved it.� David Letterman’s “Late Show� also was missing from the nominees, after a season in which the host turned an admission of affairs with female staffers and a blackmail attempt into high broadcast drama. Out of the running for best comedy series is “Two and Half Men� as well as its star, Charlie Sheen, who’s been charged in a domestic dispute case involving his wife. The show and Sheen have rou-

tinely been nominated in past seasons. Besides “Glee,� other newcomers receiving Emmy recognition include “Modern Family,� with nods for best comedy series and for five members of its ensemble cast — although not linchpin Ed O’Neill as the patriarch — and “The Good Wife,� a nominee for best drama and recognition for star Julianna Margulies. Top categories were announced on an early Thursday telecast by Sofia Vergara of “Modern Family,� who was nominated, and Joel McHale of “Community,� who wasn’t. “That’s all right. I phoned it in,� McHale responded when TV academy Chairman and CEO John Shaffner offered his condolences. Vergara was stunned by her nomination. “With this accent, it’s very hard to find roles. To have been able to find a role so perfect for a person like me with my ethnicity, with the way I look, it’s unbelievable,� she said. The final season of “Lost� garnered nominations for best drama series and a nod for star Matthew Fox and supporting nominations for Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson. Elizabeth Mitchell received a guest actress bid for the drama. The most-nominated reality series were “Dancing with the Stars� with nine bids, “The Amazing Race� with seven and “American Idol� with six.

significant consequences for efforts between Washington and Moscow to repair ties chilled by a deepening atmosphere of suspicion. Most, if not all, of the 10 defendants charged in New York last week were expected to enter guilty pleas in a Manhattan court that would lead to their deportation. The person, who said the defendants would plead guilty to conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the plea discussions.

Rummage sale gives boost to the people in Honduras By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Many in the steady trickle of campers from around the country and local residents had no idea how important their rummage sale browsing was, but Kathy Cotter was well-aware. As she oversaw the operation at Riverside Campground on Boyds Creek Highway, Cotter made every effort to inform those who came by any money they spent or contributed there would be going to help people in need in one of the hemisphere’s poorest countries. “All the money from this will go to help the children and the people in Honduras,” Cotter told a shopper as she paid for a pair of candles. “We sponsor an orphanage group down there. Our owner, Kent Loveday, goes down there on mission trips and they’ll feed 250 families, then they go down in the landfill and give out food. People live in the landfill, believe it or not.” The woman with the candles apparently believed it. She had $9.50 coming back to her after she paid with a $10 bill, but quickly stopped Cotter as she searched for change. “That’s OK, you keep it,” the woman told Cotter before leaving, her treasures in hand and a broad smile on Cotter’s face. The smile came easily because Cotter believes in the mission. When she started at Riverside 12 years ago, she quickly realized the retreat for recreational vehicles was the perfect site for the impromptu Saturday morning tradition of the rummage sale. She calls them, “Rummies.” “I told everyone we needed to have rummies here to raise money for the trips and they just looked at me like I was crazy,” she explained. “They figured out what I meant and we’ve been doing them ever since. We’ve done pretty well with them. We raised $500 just last night.” While the proceeds from the sales sometimes stay a bit more local, helping to fund food banks here in Sevier County and in Knoxville, this weekend’s sale was intended to help with Loveday’s next trip. A deeply religious man, Loveday leads

Opryland flood aid supported NASHVILLE (AP) — Nashville Mayor Karl Dean wants to give certain hotel tax funds to Gaylord Entertainment Co. to help rebuild the flooded Grand Ole Opry House. Dean said Thursday that the proposal, if approved by the Metro Council, would redirect funds gathered through a 1 percent hotel tax that was being set aside for a planned expansion of Gaylord’s Hotel and Convention Center. Gaylord owns the Opry as well. After a May flood, Gaylord asked for assistance from the city to use those funds to reimburse the cost of rebuilding the iconic country music theater.

Officials from United Way, Citizens National Bank, the city of Gatlinburg and the county gathered Thursday to celebrate the ribbon cutting at United Way’s new home on Highway 321. Forge to the living room of a former home. Through that time, United Way struggled, bringing in less than half a $1 million goal and then even missing the mark on a target of half that. It was during those tough days that executive director Roy Marshall resigned. That left two staffers — Elaina DeLozier and Natasha Wesley — to run it all for nearly a year and a half. They have since left the agency. Adding to the woes was a failure to find a leader of 2009 campaign. The group also found itself without half its board, as five members cycled off. Now, United Way’s supporters believe the group’s worst troubles may be behind it, even

as it faces another fundraising in the recession. Newman’s hiring from the Boy Scouts of America gives some reason to hope, and his efforts will be bolstered by new administrative assistant Kathryn Voncannon. Already the agency has found some crucial support, with Citizens National Bank providing the new office. “We’re glad that we could make the donation of this space to United Way,� bank President David Verble said Thursday. “It’s kind of nice to have a permanent facility to feel like you belong somewhere. We’re just tickled to be able to do this.� “I hope everyone heard that he said permanent there,� Newman joked, eliciting knowing laughs

from the small crowd. It was a bit of ribbing, but there was some real hope behind it, too. The feeling all around seems to be the group has finally found a home. “It is wonderful to have United Way here in our town,� Gatlinburg City Manager Cindy Ogle said. Hodge agreed the city and the agency should be good partners. “It’s a great location. I think it’s right where we need to be for the citizens of Sevier County that we serve,� he said. “All of us here are passionate about helping the citizens here and that’s what we’re going to continue doing.

We’re at a choking point now because of our growth.� Swann said he would fight to protect the area’s premier resort status, which allows more state funding to be used for improvements to boost tourism. “I would resist any effort to weaken that with everything I’ve got,� Swann said. “There is a certain strain on resources in this community that we should recognize as a state and make sure the funding is there to take

care of that.� Swann and his family owned a building supply business in Blount County for some 78 years. He is now employed in the building supply industry. He was elected to two terms in the House in the 1980s, but did not seek re-election because, he said, he needed to give his business more attention. That, he said, is not an issue now. Swann, 57, was elected to the Blount County Commission at age 26, and was 32 when elected to the Legislature. He says he’s running because of “a strong sense of where we want to go with things. I have a little different view than I had

when I was younger. Life changes. I am less ambitious than I was when I first got elected. I am more driven to the service side and a desire to make something out of something that is very broken.� Swann said state budget problems make an income tax appealing to some, but he vowed not to support one if it is introduced in the House. “It’s something the citizens don’t want,� he said. “We should resist that.� Swann faces three Republican opponents in the GOP primary: Jeff King, Scott Hughes and Joe McCulley. Democrat Marvin Pratt of Gatlinburg is unopposed in his party’s primary.

Spur accident leaves 9 injured By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer NATIONAL PARK — A single vehicle wreck on the Spur Thursday sent a van load of foreign-born workers to area hospitals. Segii Vinnichuck, 20, of 331 Long Branch Road in Gatlinburg, was driving a 1992 Plymouth Voyager minvan south on Highway 441 when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and it struck the bluff alongside the road, said Bob Miller, spokesman for the park. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident, which happened at about 6:30 a.m. All nine people in the van were taken to area hospitals, including two who were airlifted to The University of Tennessee medical Center. Two more were carried to UTMC by ambulance, and the other five were taken to LeConte Medical Center for treatment. “All of the individuals in the van were foreignborn workers in area resort businesses,” Miller said. “Language problems made investigation challenging, but at less some of the occupants were Ukranian nationals.” No information was available on the condition of the victims. There had been early reports that there were children in the van, but that proved to be inaccurate, he said. The wreck forced authorities to close all southbound lanes of the Spur from 6:30 a.m. until about 8:15 a.m., when one lane was reopened, Miller said. Park rangers are in charge of the investigation, but Gatlinburg Police Department, Gatlinburg Fire Department and Sevier County Ambulance Service also responded to the scene. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Audit: State GOP violated rules NASHVILLE (AP) — The Federal Election Commission has approved an audit that shows the Tennessee Republican Party failed to report some campaign donations and spending in 2005 and 2006. There could be a penalty. The Commercial Appeal in Memphis first reported the FEC’s vote on the 2007 audit that also says the Tennessee GOP possibly exceeded coordinated spending limits and violated federal election law with a coordinated contribution of about $716,000

for direct mail for Bob Corker’s U.S. Senate campaign in his win over Democrat Harold Ford Jr. in 2006. The Tennessean reported the FEC last week approved the audit that shows Tennessee GOP cash contributions were understated by about $2.2 million and disbursements were understated by about $1.4 million in 2006. An amended filing also failed to report all receipts and spending. The state GOP’s 2005 reports understated receipts by about $117,400

and disbursements by about $78,000, the audit shows. Unreported receipts discovered by auditors include a $100,000 donation from an unidentified person, $204,200 from the Republican National Committee, and $49,000 from political committees. State Republican spokeswoman Kim Ketchel released a statement saying the party has addressed two of the findings, another required no corrective action and a fourth stemmed from mistakes by a vendor who was responsi-

ble for collecting contributions. She declined to identify the vendor or to discuss any possible penalty. The statement said the vendor was “terminated” after Chris Devaney was elected state party chairman last summer. “We satisfied all information requests from the commission and have taken all steps necessary to render any unintentional filing errors,” the statement said. “We’ve also taken steps to ensure these types of errors that happened in the past do not occur in the future.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Kenny G isn’t bowing down to Prince. The saxophonist candidly joked in response to a recent interview in which Prince said the Internet is completely over. Kenny G says if the Kenny G Internet is dead “then I must be dead, too, ’cause I use it all the time.” He adds with a laugh: “Maybe I’ve got a sixth sense, and I only see dead people. I don’t know.” The 54-year-old admits the majority of his audience may not be as “Internet and download savvy” like fans of singer Rihanna, but he knows he must use the outlet to promote his music.

commentary

A nation made by immigrants Among the charges leveled against King George III on July 4, 1776, in the Declaration of Independence was this one: “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Land.” So it was ever thus here in the New World. The immigration debate goes on 234 years later. In 1776, there were a little over 2 million people in Great Britain’s American colonies. More were needed to fill the land and grow the economy. Since then, the land of the free has alternately welcomed and despised immigrants -- depending on whether we needed their work, and on where they came from. Truth be told, when the Founding Fathers were lobbying for more immigration, they really meant white Protestant Anglo-Saxons, people like them. Benjamin Franklin, in 1751, wrote in his “Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind”: “... There are suppos’d to be now upwards of One Million English Souls in NorthAmerica. ... This Million doubling, suppose but once in 25 Years, will in another Century be more than the People of England, and the greatest Number of Englishmen will be on this Side the Water. What an Accession of Power to the British Empire by Sea as well as Land! What Increase of Trade and Navigation! What Numbers of Ships and Seamen! We have been here but little more than 100 Years, and yet the Force of our Privateers in the late War, united, was greater, both in Men and Guns, than that of the whole British Navy in Queen Elizabeth’s Time. ... “And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply’d and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors (Germans) be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion?” Thomas Jefferson, who wrote most of the Declaration, added: “(Immigrants from foreign monarchies) will infuse into (our American legislation) their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.” To be fair, Franklin later modified his views (somewhat) and Jefferson, as president, purchased French-speaking Louisiana to double the size of our country. The Founding Fathers, thank goodness, were realists who did what they had to do to build the great United States. The pattern of all that was obvious and often disturbing. Among the more dramatic of the country’s economic and political ventures was to bring in hundreds of thousands of low-paid Chinese peasants to build intercontinental railroads, deny them citizenship (in 1882) and try to send them back home. Time marched on and we needed new labor, welcoming (economically) and rejecting (socially and politically) Germans, Irish, Slavs, Italians, Jews, Orientals, Latinos, South Asians. And African-Americans. And in each case we tried to get rid of them when they were no longer so useful. Some went back, happily, appalled and frightened by America’s crazed 24/7 work ethic and lack of family values. Even now, when you talk to the big guys of Silicon Valley they tell you that half the skilled Indians who come here to work decide to go home for family life, as Italians did a hundred years ago. President Obama hit some of those themes in his speech at American University, saying: “Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth. It’s a matter of faith. ... Anybody can help us write the next chapter in our history.” I agree with that, even though, like the young Franklin, each wave of ethnic immigrants has tended to try to keep out newcomers. But they keep coming and will continue to do so. We are more than a nation of immigrants. We are a nation made by immigrants, foreigners who were needed for their labor and skills — and youth — but were often hated because they were not like us until they were us. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial

Stamp of disapproval Rate hike won’t solve Postal Service problems, will likely anger many The United States Postal Service is putting its two cents worth in yet again. It was announced earlier this week that, in fighting to survive an ever-deepening financial crisis, the USPS wants to increase the price of a first-class stamp from 44 to 46 cents. It’s unlikely USPS would want to give the millions of folks who are going to be impacted by this a penny — or two pennies — for their thoughts. After all, the price of a first-class stamp has risen from 34 cents in January 2001 to 37 cents in January 2002, to 39 cents in January 2006, to 41 cents in May 2007, to 42 cents in May 2008, to 44 cents in May 2009, and now to this. When will it stop? Many may ask, “Why all the fuss? It’s only a couple of cents a letter.” But in this economy, where many working-class people are counting every penny to make ends meet, it

is a big deal. There are folks who need every bit of their loose change to buy a gallon of milk, a loaf bread, a box of diapers or pay for a prescription. One can hardly blame the Postal Service. The Internet has exacted a heavy toll. Fewer and fewer people are taking time to write those oldfashioned newsy letters. Snail mail has given way to e-mail, Twitters, Tweets, Facebook and texting to communicate. No longer do you have to pay bills by mail — just log on, go to the utility, cable or phone company site, punch in a few digits, and you’re done. Try to figure out how many millions of parcels of mail that has wiped each month. Multiply it by 44, 41, 37 or even 34 cents, the costs of postage at various times since 2001. Last year, according to an Associated Press story that moved earlier this week, the post office lost

$3.8 billion — billion, not million — despite cutting 40,000 full-time positions and making other reductions. Postal Vice President Stephen M. Kearney says that USPS is facing a $7 billion loss for this year and the same for fiscal 2011. This will be a public relations nightmare. It would be nice to think that this rate hike would cure all the Postal Service’s ills. It’s still going to be swimming in more red ink than could be used to print enough stamps to supply Tennessee for a decade. Many folks don’t have access to the Internet and can’t pay their bills online. They must rely on the Postal Service and snail mail. They must bear the burden of the extra two cents per letter. The same people who don’t have access to the Internet are apt to be the folks who have to scrape up every penny to pay their bills and living expenses.

Political view

Public forum Making Events Center a casino would solve our revenue issues

Editor: This letter in response to Eric Johnson letter headlined, “Sevierville blows through $150 million with little to show except major debt.” Wow, talk about taken. I think the citizens of Sevier County have a right to say how their money is being used and for what purpose. Sure, the Events Center is beautiful, but it’s hardly booked. I don’t believe we are getting our money’s worth out of that one. I sure don’t want my property taxes to be raised for something hardly used. Why hasn’t the area around the Events Center boomed like anticipated? I think it’s because of the economy. Let’s face it: People are already talking about a double dip recession. Can we afford to have our taxes raised in a recession? I don’t know if our county leaders know this, but the

majority of us are new people moving to the area and living paycheck to paycheck, or on unemployment. My solution to the economic crux? Turn the Events Center into a casino. Legalize gaming in the county and allow the Indians to make the area a reservation here. This was, after, all their land before we forcibly took it. The Cherokee lived here and hunted here for centuries before we took over. I have spoken to Gov. Bredesen about this and he states it’s against Tennessee’s Constitution. We the people, with a majority, can change this law. Why let all the tourists go to North Carolina or Indiana and Mississippi when our economy needs this influx of capital, jobs, and entertainment? Instead of upping taxes, we can attract more revenues for the city from taxing the income produced from a new casino. The casino operator might even purchase the land or pay a higher price than that which the Events Center currently produces. I wouldn’t

mind even seeing Donald Trump build a resort here. I would much rather us get the business rather than Bristol, Tenn., which is considering this with the Muskogee Band. Casinos seem to weather a depression. Look at Cherokee, they have recently added thousands of square feet to their existing casino. Maybe we all should think about how to attact more revenue to pay off our debts. After all, changing the Events Center into a casino would employ a hundreds of people and save us from driving a far distance to see a casino dealer. If y’all build it, they will come, and we all can benefit. I sure would like to see some of our roads and infrastructure enlarged to accomodate the 10 million tourists that come to the Smokies. Please contact your representatives and tell them to submit a bill to allow gaming in Tennessee. Richard Kemner Sevierville

New king of South Florida?

Lebron James chooses the Miami Heat By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer LeBron James wanted to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The only place that could happen was Miami. Get ready, NBA: A superstar trio is born. Ending weeks of silence and drama, the two-time MVP said on his ESPN special from Greenwich, Conn. on Thursday night that he’s decided to join the Miami Heat and leave the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for the championship he covets. “I can’t say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible,” James said. “But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today.” Olympic teammates in Beijing,

In this image from video, NBA free agent LeBron James speaks at the start of an interview on ESPN on where he plans to play basketball next year, Thursday, July 8, 2010, in Greenwich, Conn.

That duo, along with James, formed the upper echelon of the most-celebrated free-agent period in league history. Heat president Pat Riley landed them all, a three-pack of stars to help shape his quest for a dynasty in Miami. And for Cleveland, a city scorned for generations by some of sports’ biggest letdowns, James’ long-awaited words represented a defeat perhaps unlike any other. James is gone. Home sweet home no more. He said he made the decision Thursday morning and knows it won’t go over well in Ohio. “They can have mixed emotions, of course,” James said, adding that Akron will “always be home for me.” His new home — part-time or otherwise — wasted no time in beginning the celebration. Horns honked outside the arena and on Miami Beach, where Wade was watching the announcement with members of his inner circle. “It’s going to be crazy,” Wade said. James, Bosh and Wade entered the pros in the same year, the respective Nos. 1, 4 and 5 picks in the 2003 draft. They went their separate ways: James to See LEBRON, Page A12

Tennessee coaches select two to TBCA All-State Bears’ Flynn is 1st team; Forge freshman Crowe gets 2nd team nod By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor A number of local players were honored by state baseball coaches earlier this month when the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association announced their 2010 accolades. Zach Flynn, senior left fielder for Sevier County, earned 1st-Team AllAtate honors as well as an All-Region 1 distinction for his incredible year for the Smoky Bears. Flynn, who is committed to play baseball for Tennessee Tech at the next level, hit .532 with 15 homers, 24 doubles and 79 RBIs for the Bears as the team won the IMAC championship. For Pigeon Forge, freshman infielder Wil Crowe was honored with a 2nd Team All-State selection. Crowe was the Tigers’ most dangerous hitter, cranking out five homers while hitting .476. He also racked up a 7-1 record on the mound with a 1.15 ERA. The Tigers also had two other players honored with All-Region selections. Pitching one-two punch Bret Gallihugh and Justin Carter were named AllRegion 2. Gallihugh tallied an 8-4 record with a 1.12 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings. Carter had a 9-1 record, collecting a 1.43 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings. Additionally, he had a .507 on-base percentage in the leadoff spot for the Tigers and scored 51 runs while swiping 34 bases. Both seniors, Gallihugh will attend East Tennessee State University in the

fall, while Carter will head to Tusculum. The TBCA also made it abundantly clear that there’s a load of young talent in Sevier County, as the group selected four players to their list of “Super Freshmen.” Aside from Crowe, the Tigers had two players chosen for that distinction — first baseman Colt Buchanan and utility man Drake Byrd. Buchanan played a solid first base for the Tigers, while also providing some punch at the plate with a .341 average and 29 RBIs. Byrd played wherever he was needed by the Tigers, basically filling in in the field for whoever pitched for Pigeon Forge. In addition, Byrd hit .367 and hit a pivotal home run in the region tournament to help keep thhe Tigers alive. Sevier County also had a “Super Freshman” in third baseman/pitcher Dillon Cate. Cate pitched his way to a 4-1 mark on the mound, with one save and a 3.53 ERA. He also chalked up 39 strikeouts. Offensively, Cate also performed well, hitting .392 with 23 RBIs. The All-State teams are picked from nominations by coaches who are members of the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association. Only players whose coach is a member are eligible for these teams. This was the first year that teams were selected from all classes. The “Super Freshmen” were selected from nominations across the state. No membership in TBCA was required to compete for those honors. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Special Olympians host state golfers at Eagle’s Landing SEVIERVILLE — Seventy Special Olympian golfers and their partners from across the state came to Sevierville on Monday to participate in the Smoky Mountain Open Golf Tournament sponsored by the Sevier County Gifted Olympians Lifelong Friends League, the nonprofit agency organized for local Special Olympian golfers. “Eagle’s Landing welcomed the group with open arms,” Dan Deremer, organizer of the league, said. “This is the fourth year that Eagle’s has allowed us to show off our home course to players from across the state. “Eagle’s is as nice, if not nicer, than any other course we play, we’re very fortunate to have the support we receive from the golf course, Ashley McGaha and her staff. We also appreciate the support of the community in the charity golf tournament we hold each year to raise funds for the people we serve. This past year’s event was our biggest yet, raising nearly $16,000 for Special Olympics and the G.O.L.F. League.” Before an athlete can get on the course with a partner they must be proficient enough to score a 60 in the skills division, which is Level 1. This process involves a series of drives, chips, pitches and long and short putts. Sevier County golfers making progress toward reaching that goal included Mike Owens (47), Jonathan Ledford (42), Amanda Lankford (41), Sarah Wightman (37), Ryan Taylor (37) and Sheari Compton (35).

Chipping is one of six skills tested during the skills competition. In Level 2, which is alternate shot play with a partner, Curtis Ensing and Mark Mundo shot a 34 for nine holes, while the teams of Bradley and Kenny Cheek, Heather Chance and Mike Green and Diane Owens and Dan Deremer all tied for top honors with matching scores of 51. “As the awards were

being presented, it was obvious the athletes weren’t all that concerned about winning,” Deremer said. “They were just happy to be with their friends playing a game they love.” If anyone is interested in playing in the league, contact Deremer 680-3668. From submitted reports

Stoudemire hopes to start ‘new era’ in New York By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer NEW YORK — The New York Knicks have lost long enough. Amare Stoudemire is ready for what he calls the “start of a new era.” Stoudemire joined the Knicks on Thursday, coming to a team that has never had a winning season since he entered the league out of high school in 2002. “It’s about challenges and this is definitely the ultimate challenge for myself to eventually bring the Knicks back to where they rightfully belong,” Stoudemire said at a news conference at Madison Square Garden. The All-Star power forward agreed to a deal Monday with a team looking to win again after a franchise-worst nine straight losing seasons. The last two of those were largely the result of a plan to slash salary to allow the Knicks to afford to sign two maximum salary players this summer. Team officials were still holding out hope the other would be LeBron James, who was to announce his decision about nine hours after the Knicks were introducing Stoudemire. Either way, landing Stoudemire was a crucial first step, ensuring they wouldn’t be shut out by the big names in free agency. “This is a very big addition to our team and the future of our team,” Knicks president Donnie Walsh said. “Up until now our plan has been to save money in the cap and now it’s about winning, trying to put together a team that can win.” Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters, said the

Knicks and Suns will complete a sign-andtrade arrangement. The five-time All-Star will still get a five-year contract, but will take a little less than the maximum allowed in the first year to provide the Knicks with additional salary cap space. By signing with the Suns first, he is entitled to larger raises, but the total value of the deal will still be about $100 million. In doing so, he became the first top player in this deep free agent class to change teams, choosing one that is desperate to win again. “It takes courage to play where the lights shine the brightest,” Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan said. The move reunites

Stoudemire with Mike D’Antoni, his former coach in Phoenix. Stoudemire is a fearless finisher on the pick-and-roll and helped the Suns average 58 victories in D’Antoni’s four full seasons there. “We won a lot of games together and hopefully we’ll be successful here,” D’Antoni said. That likely depends on what else the Knicks can accomplish, either this year or next. They would have nearly $19 million left this summer if they don’t get James, and D’Antoni said the plan is to get another max player at some point over the next couple of years. Walsh said New York would be able to afford another one next summer.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

A-Rod approaching milestone of 600 HRs OAKLAND, Calif. — For years, Alex Rodriguez has been proclaimed baseball’s future home run king. He has cleared the fences at such a remarkable rate, reaching many milestones more quickly than any other slugger of any generation. He also has long been among the most closely scrutinized figures in his sport, practically from the day he took his first swing in the majors on July 8, 1994, 19 days shy of his 19th birthday, to his days as one of the game’s richest stars. As he approaches his next significant accomplishment — career home run No. 600 — the focus on A-Rod figures to intensify even more, and not just because he will become just the seventh player to reach the hallowed mark. He will be the first admitted steroid user to get there. After hitting two homers on Tuesday in Oakland, the Yankees star was three away at 597 entering a four-game series in his old Seattle stomping grounds starting Thursday night that takes New York into the All-Star break. Getting to 600 used to come with an automatic spot in Cooperstown at the Hall of Fame. Yet it’s unclear how Rodriguez will be received when he does it — especially if he does it this weekend back in the Northwest city where his career took off in the mid90s. “Everywhere I go, people are always asking about it and you see it on the Jumbotron every game,� Rodriguez said of his total. “It’s hard to ignore it but I’m looking at 600 as first base. I want to run right through it and use it as a platform and a springboard for more to come.� From his pro baseball beginningwiththeMariners to that monster $252 million, 10-year contract he received from Texas for his first free-agent deal at age 25, A-Rod’s career — not to mention his personal life — has been closely watched. Then came the pressures and spotlight that followed his move to the Bronx, where he was supposed to help George Steinbrenner’s club get back to regularly winning the World Series. It took until his sixth season in pinstripes to capture that elusive ring. While home run chases generate their share of national attention and interest — think Mark McGwire-Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds-Babe Ruth and Bonds-Hank Aaron — there’s no countdown at Yankee Stadium as Rodriguez closes in on his latest feat. The hype is minor compared to the excitement about the defending World Series champions sending the majors’ biggest contingent to Tuesday’s All-Star game in Anaheim.

n G-P and Northview will be on the home sideline during the teams’ quarters. n The team to take the first offensive possession will be determined by a coin flip prior to each quarter, and offensive possession will begin at the 30-yard line. n Teams playing in the first quarter will warm up on the game field, while teams in all other quarters will warm up on the practice field. Teams are expected to be warm and ready for play by the end of previous quarter. n Each team will have

against G-P. Ticket prices for the event will be $3 for adults and $2 for students, with pre-school children admitted free of charge. The gate receipts will be divided equally between the four participating teams after expenses, which include field paint, police, ticket takers and a coach’s hospitality room. Rules of the jamboree include: n Pigeon Forge and Seymour will wear their white jerseys, G-P will wear blue and Northview will wear green.

Still, there’s no denying it takes some serious production to clear the fences 600 times. “Wow, it’s a Hall of Fame career,� Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “It’s incredible production. It’s consistency for a long time to get to that point. It’s not something you see very often. Alex has been a superstar for a long time. I don’t know where the ceiling is (for him).� Rodriguez doesn’t even turn 35 until later this month, on July 27. That leaves plenty of years for more longballs — at least that’s what everybody expects from him. “Al’s going to hit 800 home runs,� Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson said. “He’s got (nearly) 600 now, he’s (almost) 35. He’s going to play five more years if he stays healthy. He’s going to hit another 150, so he’s going to hit 750, probably more.� Jackson has been around a few of those other guys in the elite 600 — or 700 for that matter — club. He hit 563 career homers in his 21-year career. “I remember when Willie (Mays) got there and Henry (Aaron),� Jackson said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I remember when Bonds went there. But I remember when Willie and Henry got there it was really a big deal because they were chasing Ruth. And of course Aaron got there with his foot on the gas. He was going somewhere, seeing that he was going to hit 700. It was pretty exciting, really, to see the guys play against him, watching him. You knew they were trying to hit homers and still perform.� A-Rod and others performed with some help. Rodriguez announced in February 2009 he had used illegal performanceenhancers from 2001 to 2003 while with Texas.

Cleveland, Bosh to Toronto and Wade to Miami, where he won a championship partnered with center Shaquille O’Neal in 2006. That year, James, Bosh and Wade all signed matching contracts to make sure they were all unrestricted free agents at the same time. Season-ticket sales for the Heat’s coming 41-game season were suspended Thursday afternoon after the entire supply of available seats were sold out. Not every seat has been released for sale yet and some will be held back for single-game purchases at the 19,600-capacity arena. “I’ll believe it when I see it,� Louisville coach Rick Pitino

The Mountain Press ◆ Friday, July 9, 2010 said while attending a tournament of high school stars at Cleveland State University, co-sponsored by James and Nike, one of the 25-year-old’s corporate partners. Believe it. The Cavaliers, a franchise that was in ruins before winning a lottery drawing and bringing James up Interstate 77 from his Akron home, have had the upper hand — until now. They were able to offer him more money — $30 million more — than any other team. This wasn’t about money, though. Wade and Bosh both said they would take fewer dollars to make this happen. And that, combined with what Riley and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said to James on the recruiting tour, was enough to pull off the stun-

ner. Because they have overspent while trying to please James and win the first title by any of Cleveland’s three pro sports teams since 1964, the Cavs are strapped with a few big contracts that have eaten up salary-cap space and prevented them from making roster moves to improve the team. They’ve come close to winning it all with James, who at 6-foot-8 and 260 pounds has the quickness of a point guard and brute force of an NFL defensive lineman. With the possible exception of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, James is the NBA’s premier player, but his legacy cannot be fulfilled until he wins a championship. If it’s going to happen soon, it’ll happen in Miami

COMMENTARY AND OPINION

Anybody else sick of LeBron hype? For those of you out there that weren’t on the edge of your seat last night waiting to hear The Decision, I understand completely. Personally, I would’ve rather been watching the Cincinnati Bengals Hard Knocks reruns on the NFL Network than to watch the hype that was made about LeBron James’ basketball future, and I’m anything but a Bengals fan. So why was the LeBron free agent saga so huge in the media? Some may say that it’s because it was the biggest thing to happen in sports history. Yeah, sure. Some conspiracy theorists may say that it’s because LeBron is a member of the Illuminati. Maybe? But I have a more realis-

tic explanation ... it’s still the offseason. Offseason of what? If you ask that question, you’d better not be traveling to Arizona anytime soon, because you may not be an American citizen. But here’s a little good news ... the LeBron decision is finally over, and it’s getting closer to football season every day. Whether you’re a grasscutter, pee-wee, prep, college or NFL fan (or all of the above like me), the sound of shoulder pads popping and the familiar stink of football

locker rooms is just days away. Local youth football camps begin next week, most professional teams report for preseason by the end of this month, and the Tennessee Vols will be playing on Saturdays again before we know it, even if Lane Kiffin left the Big Orange in a big mess for this year. The annual return to the gridiron can’t come soon enough for me, because no matter what has happened to your football team this past offseason, this time of year brings new hope. And hope for your football team beats the hype of LeBron’s decision any day. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Coroner: Ex-Kentucky center Turpin dies in suicide LEXINGTON, Ky. — Mel Turpin, an All-American center dubbed “The Big Dipper� who led Kentucky to the Southeastern Conference championship in 1984 and played in the NBA, committed suicide Thursday, authorities said. He was 49. Police and the coroner were called to his North Lexington house on a personal injury call and said they found Turpin dead. Coroner Gary Ginn said Turpin took his life, but would not say how. He also would not say whether Turpin left behind a suicide note. The 6-foot-11 Turpin was an All-American and AllSoutheastern Conference player for the Wildcats from 1980-84. The center helped lead the Wildcats to three consecutive regular-season SEC titles and Kentucky took the tournament title in 1983-84. He averaged a career-high 15.2 points per game that season, making 74.5 percent of his shots. Turpin went sixth in the NBA draft that included Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley, but never measured up to those future stars. Turpin was taken by the Washington Bullets, then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. His best season came in 1985-86 when he had 13.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, but he was out of the league four years later. Turpin also played for the Utah Jazz and the Bullets. Neighbor Amanda McFadden said Thursday that Turpin always seemed happy. “He never looked upset. He kept a smile on his face, just a good person,� she said. Ginn said Turpin was working as a security guard at the University of Kentucky Hospital. Joe B. Hall, who coached

Turpin at Kentucky, said Turpin was outgoing. “It’s hard for me to realize that this has happened,� he told the Lexington HeraldLeader. “We loved each other. He was one of my boys. It hurts very deeply to hear this. He was a young man that everyone liked and everyone liked being around.� Margaret Burrus, his sister, tearfully told reporters outside her home that her brother was diabetic and trying to keep it under control. “I didn’t know he was depressed or anything,� she said. “I would have never said that he would have done this.�

Turpin was the youngest sibling among six, Burrus said. Just two are still living. “We had a big family and it’s now whittling away,� she said. Burrus said Turpin’s wife had a heart condition and authorities said she was not at home at the time of the death. Turpin was a Lexington native and played at Bryan Station High School. He played a year at Fork Union prep school in Virginia before enrolling at Kentucky. ——— Information from: Lexington Herald-Leader, http://www.kentucky.com

Trip of a lifetime N.C. man biking across U.S. to help cancer research

Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press

Martin Smith has wanted to bike across the country since he was 20. Now at 52 and after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 30 and cancer at 48, he’s doing it to help fund cancer research.

By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor PIGEON FORGE — Among the thousands of visitors who came into the area this week, one arrived on two wheels propelled by pedals, not horsepower. Martin Smith of Durham, N.C., was on the eighth day of a two-month, 2,796-mile ride across the United States Tuesday to raise money for cancer research as well as awareness of the rare form of the disease Smith was diagnosed with four years ago at the age of 48. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the same form of cancer his father was diagnosed with in his 60s, and there are only 30,000 known cases, Smith said. For two years they watched Smith’s blood counts before they spiked and he started chemotherapy treatments. He can continue taking chemo when necessary until those are no longer working.

Is it truly patriotism or just a celebration of overeating? Since July 4, 2010 has already passed, I feel this is probably one of the few columns to appear anywhere today in reference to that particular date and all the events surrounding it. But after I saw a brief segment about July 4th on a TV news program this week, I felt rather compelled to address the subject. If you are a parent, teacher, community leader or mentor of any type, you might keep this column in mind as you begin to prepare now for July 4, 2011. The column trigger came when an on-thestreet broadcast journalist in Knoxville randomly asked some adolescents several questions regarding July 4th. The questions were along the line of “What does July 4th mean to you?� and “Why do we celebrate July 4th?� One teen said, “It means fireworks, parades, a lot of eating, and just all-around celebration stuff.� The reporter delved further with, “Why do we have the fireworks and celebration?� The response was, “Well, we just do. School is out and summer is here, and all that.� When asked why all the fuss over July 4th, three adolescents responded with, “I don’t know.� Another said, “It’s when we celebrate the birthday of Jesus.� No, I am not making this up. This was on an evening newscast. Finally, out of the half-dozen teens and subteens quizzed, one responded, “We celebrate our independence from England.� The reporter then asked, “Why did we want to be independent from England?� The respondent just shrugged her shoulders. The reporter then said, “Was it because we got tired of tea and crumpets?� The girl replied, “I guess.� The Wikipedia online encyclopedia may be erroneous on some things, but it is right on target with this description: “Independence Day, ‘commonly’ known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence

is ‘commonly’ associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies...â€? (The quotation marks around ‘commonly’ are mine.) Important events can become so “commonlyâ€? associated with specific activities that the activities themselves are celebrated instead of the events. Maybe it is time for us to reaffirm the events we are celebrating in the minds of all of the celebrants – and take nothing for granted. I feel sure that most Americans understand the “whyâ€? behind the Fourth of July, but this knowledge was certainly not evident on the TV newscast. And for those who might think the birthday of Jesus is the basis of July 4th celebrations, maybe we need to re-emphasize the events behind Santa Claus, the giving of presents and the celebrating of love and family in December. Humorist Erma Bombeck said, “You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.â€? I am quite sure Erma (19271996) would want everyone to understand it truly is patriotism – and not just a celebration of overeating. — Š 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker at over 3,500 events and author of over a dozen books.

Dear Annie: My husband, my son and I live with my mother-in-law. She’s been divorced for nine years. I know Mom deserves companionship, but one night last month, she went out with the girls and decided to bring a guy home. We thought it was going to be a one-night stand, but “Stan” hasn’t left since that night. Stan is only two years older than my husband. He’s been eating our food and using our toiletries and seems to have made himself quite comfortable. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and while my husband and his mother are at work, Stan hangs around making moves on me. I’ve told my husband, but he refuses to believe the guy is hitting on me. Stan is also sneaky. The other day, I caught him siphoning gas from my husband’s hobby hot rod in the garage. I know he is taking advantage of us. My mother-in-law insists he’s harmless. What do I do? I’m tired of keeping my mouth shut. — Annoyed and Ignored Dear Annoyed: Why are you keeping your mouth shut? You have a child living with you, and he should not be subjected to any of this nonsense. Have your husband tell his mother that this is an unhealthy arrangement for everyone, particularly her grandson, and that you want Stan out. The longer he stays, the harder it will be. If she refuses, we hope you will start saving your money. Your family needs its own space. Dear Annie: My younger brother just celebrated his 18th birthday.

He’s smart, personable and a decent-looking guy, although a bit nerdy. My concern is that he’s never had a girlfriend or even indicated any interest in the opposite sex. He says he is dedicated to his schoolwork, so we seldom, if ever, bring up the topic. What I fear is that he may be secretly gay and afraid to come out. I’d accept my brother regardless of his orientation, but I worry he may have some anxiety. Is it unusual for someone his age to have no interest in either gender? Should I be worried? — B.C. Dear B.C.: You are making a lot of assumptions that seem unwarranted. Yes, your brother could be secretly gay, and there is also a small percentage of the population that is asexual -- not interested at all. But we suspect your brother is simply biding his time. Many 18-year-olds aren’t ready to date, and a guy who is “a bit nerdy” may have difficulty approaching and attracting girls and may be too embarrassed to discuss it with his family. These guys often do better socially when they are in college. We suggest you occasionally offer him some pointers to help him be more confident. Otherwise, just be his friend. If he needs to talk, he’ll come to you. Dear Annie: This is in

response to “Devastated and Frustrated.” When our son married 32 years ago, our family welcomed his wife with genuine love, but it soon became apparent that she wanted little to do with us. After our grandsons were born, contact became even less frequent. They moved far away. The grandsons visited us without their parents twice in 12 years. Their last visit ended when I asked my son if his kids could visit their great-grandma in the nursing home. He exploded and stormed out, and we haven’t seen them since. They told the boys and his in-laws that I kicked them out of our house. That was 20 years ago. We assume our son is still alive. We pray for his family every day, asking God to change their hearts. I am 74, and my husband is 77. We hope to see them again before we die. — Another Devastated Grandma Dear Grandma: How heartbreaking for all concerned. We can only hope and pray that your son sees this letter and picks up the phone. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
