Haslam courts Sevier County votes

INSIDE

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

5Trouble at Tennessee One Vol dismissed, two suspended after Knox bar brawl

SEVIERVILLE — Just six days before early voting starts for the Aug. 5 primary election, Republican gubernatorial candidate and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam was in Sevier County Friday, looking to shore up support in one of the state’s most reliably Republican areas as he battles his two in-party opponents. Haslam spent the day having

a burger at the new Frank Allen’s Market, shaking some hands at the Blalock Companies and promising the next man to hold the keys to the governor’s mansion Haslam will have a tougher job than the one who currently has them. That’s because the challenges Tennessee faces, as they often do, will likely grow in the com-

ing years as certain conditions change. For instance, much of the work to balance the state’s budget over the past couple years has been bolstered by federal stimulus money. With that cash set to run out and the effects of the recession looking to slow things down at least for a while, Haslam sees an opportunity for even bigger fiscal challenges. But, he insists he does see them as an opportunity. “I understand what’s required to be in charge in tough times,”

Haslam said on a stop at the offices of The Mountain Press, pointing to his experience with the family business and leading Knoxville through the recession. “I really think we’re at a point where we have to shrink the size of state government.” Cutting the cost of governing is just one part of Haslam’s plan to build the state’s economy, with perhaps the most ambitious part a promise to create jobs in every See Haslam, Page A2

Traffic backs up on the Parkway Friday as travelers coming from Pigeon Forge create a bottleneck to try and get on Forks of the River Parkway. By noon, traffic was stretched back to Collier Drive. The city’s Traffic Committee has tried to ease the congestion on busy weekends by blocking access to Forks of the River and routing traffic down the three other lanes of the Parkway to the ultraflow. Establishments on Forks of the River have noticed the change with a marked decrease in business.

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Sunday mornings used to be the boom times for Shoney’s on Forks of the River Parkway, with plenty of tourists, caught in the line of others like them leaving town after a local vacation, making the decision to find some nourishment before hitting the road. Now, though, Manager Leslie Ferguson says she could practically lay down in the outbound lanes without facing danger. The trouble for Shoney’s and the other restaurants and businesses on the stretch of what used to be the county’s busiest road on Sundays started a couple years ago when Sevierville opened the North Parkway ultraflow, rerouting all those exiting visitors off Forks of the River. The move was essential because the little stretch of road formerly brought three lanes of traffic down to one, then spit them out onto a road with two northbound lanes. Still, that meant sending all those potential customers another way, down a road that doesn’t feature any businesses open on Sundays. Since that time, city officials have been trying everything they can, from lighted signs to police officers directing traffic, to break people of the old habit of using Forks of the River to get out of town. In that effort they’ve also had to battle other issues, like a common perception that it remains faster, with fewer traffic lights, to take the old route. Now, with the construction on Highway 66,

The three right-hand lanes on the Parkway at Forks of the River Parkway remain clear despite signs pointing drivers to Highway 66 and Interstate 40. Travelers instead opt for the one left lane that will get them to the same location. already remarkable traffic jams have found opportunity to reach critical status as drivers navigate new traffic patterns. That prompted officials with the city to try out a new method of controlling things. They’ve started blocking off the turn lane from the Parkway onto Forks of the River, as well as the lanes of the roads that connect those two thoroughfares. They say they’ve seen positive results from the action, which has been endorsed by the city’s Traffic

Committee. “That’s something we’ve been doing on and off now for several months, mostly on Sundays when we know we have a lot of cars in town,” city spokesman Bob Stahlke explains. “We have been experimenting with different traffic plans to keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible. This is the most efficient method we’ve found. We estimate this See Traffic, Page A4

Sevierville Police continue car seat safety education By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The Sevierville Police Department will host its next child car seat safety checkpoint event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 17 at Mountain National Bank on Collier Drive. “The parents love it,” said Sevierville Police Officer Preston Parrish, who is a certified car seat safety technician. “They’re glad we do it because they don’t under-

stand the instruction manual. We also have a lot of grandparents who come. We relieve a lot of family arguments (about the way the seats are installed).” Parrish said that nine out of 10

car seats are installed incorrectly. One of the common problems seen at the checkpoints is children graduating to a booster seat too soon. “Parents have a common misconception that the law has a weight limit. There’s a weight limit from the manufacturer of each car seat, with the height and weight requirements on a sticker on the side of the seat. But the law is that children must be 4-8 years old and less than 4 feet and 9 inches tall. To come out of the

booster seat, they must turn 9 years old or grow taller than 4 feet 9 inches.” Injuries sustained in numerous crashes prompted legislation to make changes to the Tennessee Seat Belt Laws in 2004, Parrish said. “They totally restructured it; it used to be one paragraph, and now it’s three pages.” A booster seat lifts the child’s bottom off the seat and positions See Safety, Page A4

Local musician could open for KISS By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

Park completes study of improvement plans Submitted report

A Sevierville musician may just get the opportunity of a lifetime: Chris Anderson and his band, Dirty Gunnz, could win a chance to open a concert for rock legends KISS in Cincinnati. It’s all part of a contest sponsored by Web service Eventful and retailer Guitar Center, which will allow 22 unsigned bands to open for the rock group in 22 cities (one band for each city, chosen from their region). “I’ve been to a few KISS concerts,� said Anderson, who is a vocalist and guitarist for Knoxville-based Dirty Gunnz. “We all sort of grew up on their music. It would be a great opportunity.� Dirty Gunnz is a “melodic, hard rock band specializing in 1980s covers and hair band-influenced originals,� such as RATT, Poison and Def Leppard, Anderson said. “We’ll do anything, though, from Charlie Daniels to Taylor Swift. We like to goof around.� A Florida native who used to surf, Anderson picked up music as a hobby when he moved to Tennessee in 1984. “I was a shy kid, but when you’re up there performing, it’s a high.� In early June, drummer Mark Barnhardt sent

county. Haslam gives credit to current Gov. Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, for some “big wins� in economic development, including recruiting the BMW plant to Chattanooga. However, he believes the next governor will have to focus more on promoting small business, which is a major part of his jobs in every county goal. At this point there remain few details about how exactly he hopes to achieve that lofty goal, though he said when he’s elected he and his staff will work to draw up a regional approach for economic development. The move would focus on driving the economic engine in each area based on that region’s strengths, so some areas would get tools to help recruit industry, while places like Sevier County would get initiatives to promote tourism. “We can do a better job sharing,� Haslam said of the state’s tourism destinations like Sevier County, Nashville and Memphis. “There are some natural tie-ins I think we can take advantage of.� In his campaign efforts touring the state, Haslam said he’s learned every area believes there’s someone else getting a better deal from the state, whether it’s Sevier County looking over at Knoxville or that city envying Nashville.

Sevierville resident Chris Anderson, far right, is competing with his band, Dirty Gunnz, for the chance to open for rock band KISS. his bandmates a text about the contest. Other band members include Michael “Gunnz� Hurst, lead vocals; Vince Ingle, guitar; and William Abner, bass. Jed “Stacy Bullets� Cochran, a guitar player, passed away last year. The performers have opened for LA Guns, Green Jello, Geneva, American Plague and Rock City Angels. “The guys are professional and have incredible talent,� Anderson said. “I joined them in January 2009. We practiced maybe twice and then had a show — and we just clicked. We

live in Sevierville, Maryville, Oak Ridge and Knoxville, so we do a lot of correspondence through e-mail before practice, like ‘Work on this song.’� All of the members have “day jobs,� he added, including in dentistry and finance. Anderson has a detailing business, dealing mostly with RVs. Fans can visit www.eventful.com/kiss through Friday to vote for Dirty Gunnz, who were in ninth place for their region as of press time. KISS members will choose one band from the final top five in each region to perform for that city.

“I think you can vote every 24 hours. Some bands you’ll see in the top don’t match the music genre, but they have friends out there voting for them,� Anderson said. “There are some very worthy bands below us.� Although he would be thrilled at the chance to open for one of the most celebrated rock bands in history, Anderson reached his performing pinnacle last year. “My daughter, who’s 6, got to come see me at a show last year. She was grinning from ear to ear.�

Still, he promised to do everything he can to ensure state resources are divided equitably. That includes education funding. Haslam has big plans for how to fix the state’s schools, which are ranked near the bottom in the nation, including offering training academies for principals, working to recruit and retain good teachers, and raising the standards for students. Beyond that, he said state officials in the next few years will likely be taking another look at the way education money is doled out to the counties. Haslam offered criticism for the formula currently being used to make the allotments. It was recently reworked in a move that actually cost Sevier County money. He vowed to work to make sure the formula was changed, particularly so that it is more fair and “transparent.� Haslam continues to outpace his opponents by double digits in statewide polls, with the latest released Thursday by Nashville’s WSMV-TV showing him with support

from 32 percent of respondents, 11 points ahead of Rep. Zach Wamp and at nearly triple the support of Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who polled at 11 percent. He’s also running just shy of 20 points on top of likely Democratic nominee Mike McWherter. As Haslam has solidified his support, his opponents have grasped at anything they can find to attack them, though it seems they find him unimpeachable on his record or his conservative credentials — he and Ramsey got the backing of the state’s Tea Party movement. The shots have come on questions about his association with Pilot Travel Centers, the national business his family runs, and even his commercials, one of which featured him carrying a red umbrella. He defended both, laughing at the latter. “I’m proud of our company,� Haslam said. “Anybody who would want to be governor would want to have a company like Pilot in the state. It’s no secret where

my money comes from.� Haslam scoffs at suggestions his business connections will enable him to be “bought,� a charge McWherter has leveled. He further says the only reason he hasn’t released his personal income tax return, something that’s not required by law and that his fellow Republicans have criticized him over, is because he doesn’t want to bring the rest of the family’s business into the public spotlight with him. As for his opponents, despite their attacks, Haslam insists he’s taking the high road, a sign for political watchers that, despite his denials, he might be feeling confident about things. Conventional wisdom dictates a candidate with a comfortable lead will avoid slinging mud. “We’re really focused on running a campaign of not talking about the others all the time,� Haslam said. When pushed, the strongest opinion he would offer on his opponents is,

The National Park Service has completed an environmental assessment of its development concept plan which outlines improvements to parkowned facilities which house the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. The assessment resulted in a finding of no significant impact on the park’s natural or cultural resources from the proposed improvements. The buildings which house the Tremont Institute were originally built to house a Job Corps Center in the early 1960s when it housed only male enrollees in open dormitories. It was converted into a residential environmental education center in the mid-1980s. Most program participants are school groups, but programs are also offered that serve families and elderhostels. The environmental assessment outlined six alternatives. The park has selected “Alternative C — Modification to Existing Facilities,� which calls for upgrades that would optimize classroom and office space, dormitory occupancy, energy efficiency and “They’re all good guys.� Despite all the challenges the next governor will likely face, Haslam said he’s committed to winning the seat and persevering in the job.

the esthetics of the building exteriors. All renovations will also result in making the facilities accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Alternative C provides for reconfiguration of the existing space to allow great flexibility to improve the utilization of the space. The cost is estimated at between $5.9 million and $7 million. Funding is expected to come from a variety of public and private sources. Great Smoky Mountains National Park Superintendent Dale Ditmanson said, “We feel that the alternative that has been identified will significantly improve the appearance, functionality and sustainability of the facilities as well as providing a better experience for the users. Tremont offers a total immersion educational experience that cannot be obtained anyplace else at the Smokies. We look forward to improving that experience and broadening its appeal to a wider range of audiences.� The FONSI is available online at http:parkplanning.nps. gov/grsm, or can be reviewed at park headquarters near Gatlinburg. “Sometimes it doesn’t matter as much who the leader is. In times like these, it does,� he said. “I’m honestly running because I believe I can make a difference.�

Volunteers sought for park program Submitted Report Great Smoky Mountains National Park is recruiting volunteers to participate in the Adopta-Trail program, an effort that helps to maintain the park’s 800-mile trail system. The Volunteers in Parks program has integrated volunteerism into many of its operations, including trail maintenance that covers everything from picking up litter to removing treefalls and reporting trail problems. A mandatory training program is scheduled on July 31 in the North Carolina area of the park for those who are interested in participating. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and in good physical condition. They are expected to hike/patrol the trail at least eight times March through October. Specific trail duties: Collect and remove litter; clean waterbars

Traffic

3From Page A1

traffic plan on a typical Sunday probably reduces traffic downtown by two to three hours.� The problem is the backed up traffic on Forks of the River causes real problems at the intersection of that road and Main Street. That doesn’t just mean cars stalled moving north and south, but also east and west as technology used at the traffic light there works to keep things moving to the north. Additionally, some drivers ignore the law against blocking an intersection, insisting on getting in the line even though that might mean they get stuck there when the light turns red and prevent other cars from moving around them, further compounding the problem. City and state transportation officials have looked at the issue every way they know how and closing off the northbound lane of Forks of the River on certain days, so far, is the best they’ve been able to

come up with. Even with the change, the city is still dedicating untold dollars and man hours to keeping traffic flowing through the area, with multiple officers stationed at three intersections for more than 10 hours Monday as the holiday weekend traffic filtered out. “That vastly improves the efficiency of the Highway 66 and Main Street intersection,� Stahlke said. “With this we have seen a significant decrease in the amount of time it takes to get traffic out of the city.� That doesn’t mean much to folks like Ferguson, who have watched the traffic and the dollars flowing by just out of reach. In addition to keeping out the visitors, the city’s decision to block off the road has also made it a real challenge for some local folks to get to the restaurants on Forks of the River, with those coming from the south now forced in some cases to drive all the way to Main Street, turn left and fight through the troublesome intersection to make another left.

“Sunday morning’s breakfast used to be our busiest shift,� Ferguson remembers. “They kill our business on Sunday like that.� Ferguson says she’s told her district manager about the problem, but she’s not sure if anything will come of that action because even that individual doesn’t make the decisions about how traffic flows. She’s not alone in her lament, either. Though he still appreciates the fact he’s on the main entrance to town for all the tourists coming in on Friday, Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers General Manager Adam Gosnell says he’s seen his store’s sales tumble on the weekends. “On Sundays we’re slower than usual,� Gosnell says. Gosnell says the store hasn’t done well with weekend visitors since the Parkway extension opened and took the traffic off Forks of the River. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

He’s also been hit hard by the orange and white — not the type that plays football at that university a county over, but the kind that comes in barrel form and now creates a weaving pattern on Highway 66. “I think we’ve been hit even more by the construction than anything else,� he says. “We depend on people coming from Chapman Highway and Highway 66.� Stahlke reports the city has heard from several of those worried about the effect the new traffic direction is having. “We have had a couple of businesses that have voiced their concerns,� he says. “We have explained the reasoning for our decision to them and I think the managers, for the most part, understand that overall it is best for the city to be as efficient as we can with our traffic control efforts. We certainly understand their concerns, but this is the best option we have available to us at this time.�

New cap, ships could contain Gulf leak by Monday

Protesters wait for sentencing in killing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The involuntary manslaughter conviction of a white former transit officer in the death of an unarmed black man set the stage for a sentencing that could be just as explosive as the trial depending on how the judge interprets the verdict. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry has a tremendous amount of discretion in handing down punishment Aug. 6 against Johannes Mehserle — anywhere from probation to 14 years. A sentence on the low end could further inflame tensions among the hundreds of angry people who took to the streets of Oakland Thursday over what they believe should have been a murder conviction. Those protesters could find some satisfaction in the way Perry decides to apply a finding by the jury that Mehserle used a gun to commit the crime. Involuntary manslaughter convictions call for two to four years in prison, but Perry could tack on an additional three to 10 years due to the gun enhancement. “I think he could get substantial time, by that I mean like six years,� said John Barnett, a defense attorney from Orange County who represented one of four Los Angeles police officers acquitted of beating Rodney King in 1992. “There is going to be a lot of pressure to give him state prison.� In a handwritten letter released Friday, Mehserle suggested a possible prison term wouldn’t be his only punishment for killing 22-year-old Oscar Grant. He said he will forever “live, breathe, sleep and not sleep� with the memory of Grant dying on the train platform and “knowing that Mr. Grant should not have been shot.�

Trigger up for auction in New York NEW YORK (AP) — The smell of horses and hay permeated the marble-floored galleries at Christie’s in Manhattan Friday as potential bidders previewed items including the preserved remains of movie cowboy Roy Rogers’ famous horse Trigger. The auction house is selling items from the now-closed Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo., next Wednesday and Thursday. Unlike the fine furniture, paintings and jewelry that Christie’s is famous for, the centerpiece of this auction is a stuffed and mounted horse rearing on its hind legs. It also will feature another type of horsepower — Rogers’ 1964 Bonneville convertible adorned with collectible silver dollars, its door handles and gear shift replaced by silver-plated pistols. The car is estimated to draw $100,000 to $150,000. Trigger is expected to fetch $100,000 to $200,000. Other items for sale include: Rogers’ and Evans’ performance outfits; the preserved remains of Rogers’ dog, Bullet; about 60 pairs of cowboy boots; the Rogers family dining table; and the Jeep “Nellybelle� from the Roy Rogers TV show.

An amphibious craft is salvaged from the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Friday.

Duck boat, 2 bodies pulled from Philadelphia river PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police retrieved a second body Friday from the Delaware River after they recovered the duck boat that was struck by a barge and capsized, leaving two young Hungarians missing. Authorities did not immediately confirm whether the body was that of 20-year-old Szabolcs Prem. He has been missing since Wednesday’s accident, which also claimed the life of 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner. Her body was recovered early Friday nearly two miles downriver from the accident site. The second body surfaced from beneath a salvage barge after crews raised the amphibious tour boat from the river bottom and the barge began hauling it away. A police boat pulled the body on board about a block downriver from where it surfaced. Thirty-five other people were rescued after the 250-foot barge ran over the duck boat. Schwendtner’s body was identified judging from possessions shown to her fellow tourists, said Jeff Moran, a spokesman for the Philadelphia medical examiner. An autopsy showed she died of drowning, and her death has been ruled accidental. The boat was lifted from the water Friday afternoon about 100 yards from shore by a crane using two heavy yellow straps. A third strap was looped around the white boat as it remained in the water, its

canopy and seats above the waterline. Police and Coast Guard vessels surrounded the boat as it emerged from the water and was placed on a barge. Authorities plan to inspect it for clues to why it stalled out. The duck boat will be taken first to the Coast Guard station in Philadelphia and then moved to another secure location, said Coast Guard Chief Rodger Krass. The Norcross, Ga.-based company that owns the duck boat operation said Thursday it had followed safety recommendations after a 1999 sinking in Arkansas, but it still suspended its operations nationwide. Schwendtner and Prem were among 13 Hungarian students, two Hungarian teachers, four U.S. students and three U.S. teachers on a tour hosted by Marshallton United Methodist Church in suburban Philadelphia. Black flags were raised Friday at the victims’ school and at the city hall in their hometown of Mosonmagyarovar, in northwestern Hungary. School principal Karoly Hansagi told MTI that a candlelight vigil would be held Saturday night. One of the duck boat passengers, Tina Rosebrook of Davidson, N.C., told The Associated Press that she was briefly under the bow of the barge. She had time to get life jackets on her 10-year-old daughter and 12-year-old niece but not herself. She found a life

jacket floating on the river when she surfaced. Police rescue boats arrived and helped them out of the water almost as quickly as they’d been submerged. On Thursday, National Transportation Safety Board Investigators dug into their efforts to reconstruct what went wrong. They expected to spend more than a week working in Philadelphia before heading back to Washington, D.C., to continue their investigation. Board member Robert Sumwalt said the agency would look into the condition of the vessels and whether proper protocols were followed. The NTSB planned to interview those aboard the boats, listen to recordings of radio transmissions and study videos from cameras posted nearby by the city of Philadelphia and at least two television stations. Chris Herschend, president of the boat company, Ride the Ducks, said Friday that the captain, Gary Fox, told him he had put out a distress call on Channel 13, which is monitored by boaters but not recorded.

NEW ORLEANS — The federal official leading the Gulf oil spill cleanup said Friday a new containment cap and an additional ship collecting oil could effectively contain the spill in the next three days. The work to replace a leaky containment cap on the well head with a tighter one will begin Saturday, National Incident Commander Thad Allen said Friday. At the same time, a ship connecting to a different part of the leak is expected to come online Sunday. Oil will flow unimpeded into the Gulf during the cap switch for at least part of the weekend. If all goes according to plan, the combination of the cap and the new vessel could collect all the leaking oil by Monday. Work continues on what officials hope will be the ultimate solution: a pair of relief wells intercepting the leaking well far below the seafloor. The new containment cap is expected to form a better seal over the well head, to allow more of the oil to be collected and sent up to ships on the surface for collection or burning. “Technically it’s pretty

achievable,� Allen said. He said if the new cap can’t be placed on the well, the old cap will be put back and there are multiple backup caps available in case any one cap fails. The new, tighter cap should be in place early Monday. Allen said the ship Helix Producer, which is to be hooked to a different part of the leaking well — lower than the new cap — will start collecting oil Sunday and be fully operational Tuesday. He has previously said that the full system should be able to collect 60,000 to 80,000 barrels a day. The schedule for both efforts has been accelerated to take advantage of what could be a rare window of good weather. The hookup of the Helix Producer was delayed this week by poor weather. The containment effort is not the permanent solution to stop the environmental catastrophe that began April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers. Still, the best hope to stop the spewing oil from the blown-out well a mile under the sea is the drilling of relief wells deep below the seafloor.

Tennessee texting while driving law gets limited use NASHVILLE (AP) — Police across Tennessee are writing few citations under the year-old texting-whiledriving law. The statute went into effect in July 2009, allowing officers to write tickets to drivers they catch sending cell phone text messages while operating vehicles. The fine for violations is $50. The Tennessee Highway Patrol allowed a six-month grace period and began enforcement on Jan. 3,

said Tennessee Department of Safety spokeswoman Dalya Qualls. The Tennessean reported state troopers issued 88 citations in the first half of 2010 and Metro Nashville Police have cited 19 drivers since the statute became effective. Knoxville and Chattanooga officers haven’t written any citations under the statute. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Memphis police have used the statute.

“It is extremely hard to determine if indeed the driver is texting or dialing,” said Memphis police spokeswoman Officer Karen Rudolph. “The officer would have to witness the violation and the violator would have to admit that they were actually texting before a citation is issued.” That doesn’t mean texting drivers need not be concerned about being caught. Knoxville Police write citations under an older districted driving statute.

Judd is covering her breasts with her hands in the photo, which appears to be from a 2006 issue of Marie Claire magazine. Judd said in a speech last month to the National Press Club that mountaintop removal, which blasts the tops off mountains to extract coal, is the “rape of Appalachia.”

commentary

Vampire movement unsinkable

Bela Lugosi must be turning over in his grave — that is, if the stake through his heart would allow it. Lugosi, as you may know, became famous as Dracula in the 1931 movie based on Bram Stoker’s novel about a villainous Transylvanian blood-sucking vampire. For more than a century, Dracula and vampires in general were spooky cinema stalkers, usually dispatched with a sharp object in the chest. But now they are a cultural phenomenon and a billion-dollar business. CBS News is reporting that some crazed American teenagers are actually biting one another, even drawing blood at times. Apparently, the Internet is full of vampire-type activities primarily posted by nutty fans of the “Twilight” series of books and movies. For those who lack a frame of reference for Romanian folklore, a vampire is a creature who can live forever but must drink blood to survive. Dracula was the Big Daddy. But now there are all kinds of vampires living in neighborhoods near you, at least according to author Stephenie Meyer, whose “Twilight” books have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Meyer specializes in creating young, attractive vampires who are not all bad like old Bela, the pasty, nasty icon. No, the “Twilight” undead can be romantic and emotional, and the kids just love ’em. In the movies, the three “Twilight” flicks have grossed close to a billion and a half dollars and have glamorized the fanged creatures almost beyond belief. Want to be cool? Suck a little blood; stay out all night. So why is this happening? Boredom, that’s why. Many kids today spend nearly every waking moment stimulated by some kind of machine. The younger crew is texting, playing video games, listening to up-tempo music on headphones or networking on their personal computers. All day, all night, these machines are available. After a while, real life means little. It’s too slow. Everything comes quickly on the machines. The kids are wired all the time. Enter the world of the supernatural. Vampires don’t need school or jobs; they just float around having dramas. And they look great. Even their long, sharp teeth are sparkling white. Their hair is perfect. When Dracula emerged from his coffin, wolves howled. When these “Twilight” vampires show up, plastic surgeons take notes. When I was 10 years old, the Hula-Hoop was the big trend. The Hula-Hoop. Now, most 10-year-olds know all about these vampire types and their werewolf friends. And some of the kids are actually acting this stuff out in real life, at least according to CBS News. So what is to be done? Actually, nothing. If you believe the worldwide book sales and film grosses, there aren’t enough stakes in the world to kill this vampire movement. These people may be dead, but boy, are they living large. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You?

Teen race driver Presnell shows grit in latest victories

Fifteen-year-old Dylan Presnell of Sevierville and the Presnell Motorsports team swept Independence Day weekend racing at Newport Speedway despite the death of his grandmother, Ruby Presnell, earlier in the week. Racing in memory of his grandmother, Dylan made the “Firecracker 100” his own. Presnell is embarking on quite a career behind the wheel. Despite his age, he has found success racing for years, and his wins in Newport came as no surprise. That he was able to succeed and overcome the personal tragedy speaks well of his dedication. “Yeah, I really wanted to win so badly tonight for my grandmother and really all of our family, after all we’d been through this past week,” he said after the race. “My dad had decals made up to go on the race car for tonight, remembering my grandmother.” Nice going, Dylan. A guy with the drive to win.

Want to kick smoking habit? Lila Wilson’s service to This program makes it easier Pigeon Forge appreciated

An estimated 25-30 percent of Tennesseeans continue to smoke cigarettes. They smoke at home, in the car and around people who don’t like the smell or the smoke. Most people who smoke openly or secretly wish they could stop. LeConte Medical Center has a way to do it. Its Freedom from Smoking class starts Monday. It’s a sevenweek program designed by the American Lung Association that offers a support group atmosphere and focuses on overcoming the addiction. It is, as any smoker knows, an addiction. The class requires a $50 deposit that you get back after successfully completing the course, and a $25 materials fee. That’s a small price to pay for the chance to quit a destructive, expensive and potentially deadly habit. Sign up for the class. Call 453-9355 to register. Take a major step to stop your addiction. Thanks, LeConte, for offering the class.

Lila Wilson has been a dedicated, conscientious and energetic worker on behalf of tourism in Pigeon Forge. Now somebody else has stolen her away to take advantage of her talent and skills. After 11 years with the city’s Special Events office, Wilson, who created the city’s popular cowboy-themed Saddle Up! event, has been named director of the Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce Department of Tourism. “It’s certainly with mixed emotions that I leave,” Wilson says. “I have absolutely loved working with Leon Downey and Earlene Teaster and for the city of Pigeon Forge.” People with her enthusiasm and talent are hard to find. Our loss is Morristown’s gain. But she leaves behind a legacy of programs and events that will serve as a reminder of her stamp on the city she has served. Good luck in your new job, Lila Wilson, and don’t forget us.

Public forum

Editor: God’s word tells us that “in the last days perilous times shall come.” My wife and I are Christians without any apologies. We try our best to live a life that pleases The One who gave us salvation. Yet, and I know that I speak for many of us who question why God allows us to go through the seemingly endless turmoil that will accompany our walk. Of course, with study we realize that God has a plan for our lives that never coincides with ours, and through these trials we learn to trust Him. Like many who will read this, Deva and I have suffered many financial hardships, the last of which left us without a vehicle.

A low point for me because my responsibility as a husband is to provide. I’ve learned that God, in His infinite wisdom, will also use circumstances like these to bring people into our lives to inspire us to move forward. One such man is Jim Carr. A friend at church recommended that he could find me a vehicle that I could afford. He not only promised to find a vehicle for us, but for the last three months he has given us one of his rental cars to drive at no cost. Many people in our community go to church and call themselves Christians. Then there are extraordinary people like Jim who do God’s will in secret. Besides work, I also have a jail ministry that means so much to me. That brings me to my next example: Capt. Don Parton. He gave me

permission to start a Bible study a few months ago at the jail, something I had been trying to do for years in Kentucky. All he knew about me was that I was an excon who wanted to give the good news of God’s love to men that many have already given up on. After the bureaucratic hurdles were cared for, I was allowed in. Let me say thank you on behalf of my wife and myself to these two men. Also let me say that I am very proud to share this community with these Christian men. God really does have a plan for our lives so trust Him and be aware that you’re next trial may reveal you’re next blessing. Jerry Moses Sevierville

Two football Vols arrested after bar brawl Myles kicked off team, two others suspended By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer

Amy Smotherman Burgess/AP/Knoxville News-Sentinel

University of Tennessee football players Darren Myles Jr., left, and Da'Rick Rogers and leave the Knox County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility on Friday, July 9, 2010. The Knox County Detention Facility says rising sophomore defensive back Darren Myles Jr. was charged with assault, resisting arrest and evading arrest. Incoming freshman receiver Da'Rick Rogers was charged earlier Friday with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee coach Derek Dooley dismissed rising sophomore Darren Myles Jr. and indefinitely suspended sophomores Greg King and Marlon Walls after a brawl early Friday at a bar where at least a half-dozen other Volunteers players were present. University of Tennessee police charged Myles with assault, resisting arrest and evading arrest after he allegedly ran from police and elbowed an officer in the face. It was his second off-season arrest. It was not clear what King and Walls’ alleged roles were in the matter. Incoming freshman receiver Da’Rick Rogers was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Four other players were present but not charged, though police say more charges may be pending in the ongoing investigation. A campus police report said Myles tried to hide under a car and in some bushes as an officer tried to arrest him, then elbowed the officer in the face. Three other players — rising senior receiver Denarius Moore, junior college transfer defensive tackle John Brown and

incoming freshman receiver Matt Milton — were detained and questioned but had not been charged as of Friday afternoon. Another player, rising sophomore defensive tackle Montori Hughes, was Darren Myles present during the melee but has not been questioned by police. Police said their investigation was ongoing. Robert Capouellez, an off-duty Knoxville officer who was a patron at Bar Da’Rick Knoxville and tried to break Rogers up the fight, was being treated for a head injury after being knocked unconscious, Knoxville police spokesman Darrell DeBusk said. Capouellez, 24, was in serious condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center on Friday afternoon. Police said he was hit in the head, knocked to the ground and then kicked several times. Another patron at the 18-and-up bar, Gary Russell, 20, was treated at UT Medical Center and released. A message for Tennessee athletic officials was not returned Friday. DeBusk said police notified Volunteers coach Derek Dooley, who was out of town. This is the second offseason arrest for See BRAWL, Page A9

Cleveland rocked by losing LeBron James By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

Katie Doane

Former Lady Tiger golfer makes AllAmerican Scholar Team CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Three Tusculum College women’s golfers have been named to the 2009-2010 National Golf Coaches Association Division II All-American Scholar Team. Selected from Tusculum were Katie Doane, Jillian Corum and Adriana Vizcarrondo. Doane, a rising junior from Sevierville, who starred at Pigeon Forge in high school, returns to the NGCA All-America Scholar Team for a second straight year. She finished third on the team with her 83.85 scoring average as she played in eight tournaments and tallied three top 25 performances. She garnered runner-up honors at the Anderson Invitational and followed with a 10th-place showing at the Women’s Independent Collegiate. The Pigeon Forge High School graduate was named to the SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, Dean’s List and Charles Oliver Gray Honors List. She has a 3.78 GPA while majoring in Education. Criteria for the NGCA AllAmerican Scholar Team includes having a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50 and competing in at least 66 percent of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year. Corum, a rising sophomore from Knoxville, and Vizcarrondo, a rising senior from Anaco, Venezuela, were also selected for the team.

CLEVELAND — Charred remains of a torched LeBron James jersey were scattered among ashes and 10 spent wooden matchsticks on a sidewalk across the street from Quicken Loans Arena. Over on Ontario Street, workers prepared to remove a massive 100-foot-high billboard of James, his arms outstretched, that has been a downtown tourist attraction for years. Now, it’s only a painful reminder of another Cleveland sports loss. “It’s a disgrace,” Reverend Jesse Harris said, standing with a few onlookers under James’ imposing figure. “It’s time to bring it down.” One day after James ripped this city’s heart out by saying he was leaving for Miami, Cleveland distanced itself from a family member. LeBron James, the schoolboy star from Akron who revived a downtrodden NBA franchise and raised championship hopes for seven seasons with the Cavaliers, is no longer welcome. By 10 a.m. Friday, every No. 23 jersey bearing James’ name inside the Cavaliers’ temporary gift shop at the arena had been boxed up and taken away. Every banner with the MVP’s face on it stripped from the walls. Every figurine, T-shirt, coffee mug and pennant associated with James was gone. Upstairs in the team’s offices, employees tossed mementos of James in garbage cans. This wasn’t a cleaning. This was a cleansing. In a matter of hours, James went from the most-adored ath-

The moment he announced on Thursday’s nationally televised special that he was leaving to join Olympic teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, Cleveland turned on him. Not everyone. Just about everyone. His most loyal fans couldn’t understand why he would embarrass Ohio with the world watching. Cleveland, whose economic woes had been softened by James’ arrival and superstar ascension, never saw it coming. Sure, there were reports he was leaning toward Miami but

until James uttered: “I’m taking my talents to South Beach,” no one here thought it was possible he had played his last game in a wine-and-gold uniform. “I understand why he left, but he should have done it on a better note,” said Bobby Beese of Norwalk, Ohio. “It wasn’t right.” Even those outside Cleveland felt it was mishandled. “It seems everybody has a bad taste in their mouth, unless you’re in Miami,” Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “Just the way the whole thing was handled, on TV and everything.” Cleveland will return to nor-

mal, but it might take some time. While understanding the city’s anguish, Mayor Frank Jackson attempted to put a positive spin on an impossibly negative situation. “I know there’s a lot of anger in the city, but I know Mr. LeBron James and I do not consider this personally,” Jackson said in a news conference at City Hall. “It was not personal against the city. His decision is not going to make or break Cleveland. The city is resilient and has a lot of assets that have sustained us in the past and will do so in the See CLEVELAND, Page A9

SOUTHERN LEAGUE BASEBALL

Smokies shutout again by Jacksonville Suns, 5-0 Tennessee held scoreless last 35 innings JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Tennessee Smokies were shutout in their third straight game, as the Smokies fell 5-0 to the Jacksonville Suns on Thursday night at the Baseball Grounds of

Jacksonville. It was the fourth loss in a row for the Smokies, who have scored just one run during their longest losing streak of the season. Tennessee collected just four hits in the contest, which extended the scoreless stretch to 35 innings. The Smokies are closing in on the Southern League record of 42 consecutive scoreless innings, set by the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx

earlier this season. Jacksonville’s starter Tom Koehler earned the victory to improve to 11-2 on the season, pitching five innings scoreless innings and striking out six Smokies batters. Tennessee starter Rafael Dolis (0-2) suffered the loss, pitching 4-2/3 innings and allowing five runs — three of them earned — on nine hits, with four walks and six Ks in his third start with the Smokies.

Brandon Tripp gave the Suns their first lead with an RBI single, and then he added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run homer, making it 3-0. Tennessee reliever Jake Muyco allowed two more runs in the frame to make it the eventual final. Centerfielder Brett Jackson was the lone Smokies to record a multi-hit game with a single and a double.

GET REAL! WITH PAT DORWIN

Does anybody read box scores anymore? When was the last time you looked - I mean really looked - at a baseball box score? Been awhile, hasn’t it? Go ahead, admit it. No harm, SportsCenter and a million-and-half bloggers, sabermathematicians and tweeters (along with Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee) are out there to tell you about each and every ball game. It’s been a long time since the week-old box scores in “The Sporting News� could captivate me for hours between issues. I’ll take a wild guess and say TSN stopped running box scores in 1986 — I will Google it later in the column — but it was probably earlier than that. After all, it was a weekly broadsheet newspaper, not a fancy, in-your-face bi-weekly composition like ESPN-The Mag is. Except now it is. TSN went to a bi-weekly format a year or so, I’ll guess. I won’t Google that, let’s just see if it’s the end of the weekly sports magazine that could give us relative information and stats. (Sports Illustrated doesn’t count; it’s writing was always too good, too flowery in describing such things as America’s Cup, a yacht race.)  Sports Illustrated’s only link to the common person was its “Faces in the Crowd� section.

future.� For the Cavaliers, life after LeBron will be very different. Without James, the Cavs are no longer title contenders and now must revamp a roster missing its best player. Cleveland has some tradable assets, but general manager Chris Grant must decide whether to rebuild or try to maintain the club’s championship-caliber status. Grant’s charge is complicated by owner Dan Gilbert’s pledge that the Cavs will win a championship before James does. Shortly after James announced he was leaving, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland’s fans, ripping the 25-year-

Myles, 19. He also was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest on April 18 after a disturbance at a Knoxville restaurant and nightclub. Dooley handled Myles’ punishment for that arrest internally, though the criminal case is still pending. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Atlanta native who was part of Lane Kiffin’s only recruiting class showed promise during spring practice. After the Vols’ April 17 spring game, he

still run that? I definitely won’t Google that either, as “Faces� lost credence with me when I played Little League baseball. Our All-Star team had gone pretty far in the state tournament when we were scheduled to face a team whose pitcher had made “Faces� after posting some ridiculous numbers. We were psyched out before we even got to their field. I will tell you we felt a little relieved when we batted in the top half of the first: He was shorter than me and had just a rinky-dink curveball to go along with a mediocre fastball. Get real. Thanks to me, we lost some confidence when they hit in the bottom of the inning. Beaten out at second base, by no less than future Olympic speedskater Dan Jansen, I was exiled to centerfield. Sure enough, I let a grounder get between my legs and we we’re down 2-0. I did later make amends, as we took a 3-2 lead and I threw out the tying run at the plate for the final out ... But still it was my error that put us

down in the first place. Well, we didn’t advance much further and I had lost respect for Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd,� because, get real, how could that meatball pitcher get in it? Probably was something as simple as sending in a picture and a press release, but you don’t come to those conclusions as a 10-yearold. While it would be nice to have a copy of that box score - I sure don’t trouble myself looking at them nowadays, despite the plethora of information available on the Internet. I just go to my Yahoo fantasy baseball team and click on “last week� to set my roster. You don’t have to tell me it’s time to get the guy who’s 10-for-26 over the past seven days into the lineup over the guy who has turned in a four-for27 performance. I suppose I could try watching a baseball game on TV to glean some information, but one wife, two kids and two televisions equal little baseball watching time for me. Not that I could watch an entire game on TV or computer anyway, too boring and no beer vendors. Now, if it’s a Smokies game or a game in Wrigley Field, I’ll watch every out, even if it’s a

10-2 game. I saw Kerry Wood from the second row behind home plate one year in the Friendly Confines, and it was something else to try and follow his 100mph fastball as it sizzled toward home plate with a sickeningly loud hiss. Shouldn’t Wood be in the midst of a Hall of Fame career with the Cubbies, trying in vain to catch Nolan Ryan’s strikeout record instead of being a closer in Cleveland?  Oh well, that’s just baseball. Those arm injuries don’t show up in each box score when Wood pitches.  Speaking of box scores, “The Sporting News,� once known as the “Bible of Baseball,� stopped publishing them in the late 1980s, according to Google search, although they are available online at “SN Today.�  No thank you, I let my TSN subscription lapse and don’t really miss it. As far as baseball on TV, I’ll play MLB 10 The Show on my PlayStation 3. It’s super-realistic, and offers plenty of stat categories.  Playing on TV is so realistic, I even fall asleep, just like watching a real game. Except I can “fast forward� the game when I wake up.

old and promising to deliver a title after James failed. Gilbert called James’ decision “cowardly� and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during playoff games this year and last. Gilbert’s shocking accusation and pointed remarks were the talk of Cleveland on Friday, easing the loss but also raising questions about how he would have acted had the megastar announced he would stay. Cavs coach Byron Scott, who accepted the job last month not knowing if James would be on his roster, said he liked what Gilbert said. “He showed last night his passion to win,� Scott said at a news conference at Cleveland Clinic Courts, the team’s state-of-the-art $25 million training facil-

ity Gilbert built not far from James’ home. “He wants to win. That’s the bottom line. I want an owner like that. I want an owner who will sit in our corner, who wants to win basketball games and wants to win championships. I love that about him. I’m still very, very excited about this team and the situation that I’m in. “I came to work this morning with a big smile on my face knowing I was getting ready for a big season.� One without James. Scott played 14 seasons in the NBA, winning three titles with the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s been around to see the league change, but never considered a time when a star player, especially one who has never won a champion-

ship or even a game in the finals, would captivate the sports world with an announcement. “It was different,� the 49-year-old said. “I do consider myself old school, but I always tell guys I’m old school with a new-school twist. You have to be able to deal with today’s players a little differently than you did back in our days of playing. It was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime.� Scott, who turned around teams in New Jersey and New Orleans, must convince the Cavaliers they’ll survive not having James. “It was done last night; it’s over with. We came to work this morning to get ready for a season,� he said. “We’ve moved on.� Cleveland may need more time.

was awarded the program’s Fourth Quarter Award by coaches for dedication to the program. The 18-year-old Rogers, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound native of Calhoun, Ga., was among Dooley’s first signing class.

Several witnesses told police two patrons got into a fight inside Bar Knoxville around 1:50 a.m., and several others jumped into the melee. Employees pushed the brawl out onto the street.

Knoxville attorney Greg Isaacs, who represents Hughes, said that his client was “the victim of an unprovoked assault� and that he has no knowledge of anything that took place outside the bar. Isaacs said he did not expect Hughes to face charges. Sandy Morton, who owns Bar Knoxville with her husband, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press they’ve never had

any problems from Vols players. She said many of the players, who are treated as VIPs and don’t pay a cover charge, are on a first-name basis with her husband. “I don’t know what happened, but several of the guys started beating up the other customer,� she told the newspaper. “I want to guess there was seven to 10 guys beating up this one gentleman.�

Dow ends week up 5.3 pct, its best gain in a year By TIM PARADIS AP Business Writer NEW YORK) — The stock market ended its best week in a year with another gain Friday as investors bet that companies will report strong econdquarter earnings. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 59 points, or 0.6 percent. That gave the Dow its biggest weekly advance in a year, 5.3 percent. Broader indexes posted bigger gains. Trading volume was light, signaling that many investors were staying out of the market. But those who were trading appeared optimistic about the company reports that will be announced starting next week. Stocks also got a lift from news that China renewed Google’s license to operate in the country. The renewal was in doubt because of a strained relationship between the company and China’s government over censorship of search results. Google rose 2.4 percent.

News on the economy wasn’t as upbeat. Inventories held by wholesalers rose in May for a fifth straight month though sales dropped for the first time in more than a year. The government said wholesale inventories rose 0.5 percent and sales dropped 0.3 percent. It was the first drop since March 2009, when major stock indexes hit a 12-year low. But investors didn’t appear fazed by the inventories report. Instead, the market appeared to hold on to optimism fed by Thursday’s report of a drop in the number of newly laid off people seeking unemployment benefits. That report ended a string of bad news about the job market, and likely contributed to investors’ more positive mood going into what’s known as earning season. Friday’s modest moves weren’t surprising. Traders often avoid making big bets just before earnings releases because the reports provide a good picture of how companies are performing.

East and West with speed; super-efficient spy swap By JENNIFER LOVEN AP White House Correspondent

cial said two of the four were dropped off before the plane continued across the Atlantic. The swap idea was Washington’s, first raised with President Barack Obama nearly a month ago when the FBI and Justice Department officials who had been watching the 10 Russian agents hiding in suburban America for over a decade informed the president it was time to start planning their arrests, according to two White House officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House. What was known as “the illegals program� had been first brought to the White House’s attention months before, in February, triggering weeks of meetings about how and when to proceed, the officials said. It became clear in early June that at least two of the Russians were making plans to leave the U.S., meaning the whole operation now had to be rolled up more quickly than originally thought. The timing of the arrests was deliberated with Obama on that June 11 Friday afternoon in the Oval Office, along with the expected charges for the individuals and the potential impact on

WASHINGTON — It took less than month for the largest U.S.-Russian spy swap since the Cold War to unfold from an idea secretly hatched in the Oval Office to reality on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac. The whirlwind exchange took place Friday in a choreographed script of spy novel intrigue. Two planes, one from New York, the other from Moscow, arrived within minutes of each other and parked nose-to-tail. Their passengers — 10 Russian sleeper agents arrested in the U.S. and four prisoners accused by Russia of spying for the West — were ferried to each other, and the planes departed again just as quickly. The whole thing, a soundless drama seen only at a distance through camera lenses, took less than an hour and a half — displaying the efficiency of this extraordinary new chapter in U.S.-Russian relations. The 10 Russian agents who had blended into U.S. communities, including Anna Chapman, the woman who had caught Americans’ fancy with her Facebook photos, soon landed in Moscow. And four other Russians accused of spying for the West headed the other way, two of them arriving at Dulles International Airport outside Washington at the end of the capital’s workday. Their chartered aircraft, a maroon-andwhite Boeing 767-200, had stopped briefly at a southern England air base, where a U.S. offi-

Washington’s freshly “reset� relationship with its former Cold War rival. Also considered, the officials said, was the matter of what should happen afterward. One of the recommendations was to propose a swap to Russia. The arrests were not planned to facilitate such a trade, said a separate U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence. But since the Russian agents had never penetrated the U.S. government, it seemed Washington could benefit more from using them for barter than as prisoners to be locked up for years. The president approved. Thirteen days later, Obama hosted Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the White House for the first time, the two chummy over hamburgers in nearby Arlington, Va., and showing off a rapport to reporters that would have been unthinkable during the nations’ diplomatic low points. But transparency goes only so far. Though preparations for the arrests were moving forward — and would take place just three days later — Obama kept quiet, the White House officials said.

Put son’s best interest above your own selfish desires

Dear Annie: I met my current boyfriend while separated from my ex-husband, and we now have a beautiful son together. The problem is, I cannot let go of my ex-husband and his family. I’m sure they feel the same, because we secretly see each other all the time. My ex-husband was unfaithful. When I found out, I left him. But there is a lot of unfinished business between us. You’d think I would never cheat since I was the victim of such a betrayal, but I’ve discovered that I have no power over being faithful to my child’s father. Is there any hope for me to be faithful to any man in this lifetime? I am always asking myself whether there is someone better out there. Do you think my ex and I have a chance at love again? — Lost Unfaithful Love Dear Lost: Honey, you need to grow up a little and understand yourself better. Of course you can be faithful, but not if you are still “looking.” You have a child now and a responsibility to provide a stable environment for him. This means putting his best interests above your desires. Are you pining for your ex because he represents excitement? (Cheating, because it is clandestine and forbidden, can do this.) Have you resolved the issues that ended your marriage? Have you worked on improving your current relationship? Before you upend your son’s life, please get into counseling. Ask your boyfriend to come with you, explaining that you have some issues and want to strengthen your relationship. If he won’t go, go alone and figure this out.

Dear Annie: I’m in high school, and one of my best friends always performs better than I do. We both participate in the same extracurricular activity, and she wins every time. I am a fairly successful athlete, but nothing compared to her. Even when I win, I lose. At a recent tournament, I was undefeated the entire time and advanced to the championship round, and so did she. We didn’t compete against each other, but she still won due to a technicality. I’m so jealous of her abilities that everything she does is starting to irritate me. I’ve started secretly to root against her when she competes. She hasn’t seemed to notice, but I worry it’s hurting our friendship. — Green Eyes Dear Green Eyes: Of course it’s hurting your friendship. In order to salvage it, you will have to make a conscious effort to put your jealousy aside, and that is not an easy thing to do. Your friend is very talented, and you suffer in comparison. So stop comparing. She’s Michael Jordan. Put her in a class by herself, and consider your competition to be everyone else. When you can admire her skills without feeling diminished, you will be able to root for her with genuine enthusiasm. Please try. Dear Annie: My thanks to “Screener” for helping job seekers with
