SEVIERVILLE — An overflow crowd Thursday was encouraged to keep pressure on Veterans Administration officials and politicians to bring an outpatient clinic to Sevier County, after hearing that the VA has pledged to open one in Sevier County by Jan. 1, 2012.

Bill Snodgrass, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, said officials with the Department of Veterans Affairs told him Wednesday that they plan to start the process in April 2011 and to have the clinic for military veterans open the following January. That drew applause from the people who filled the multipurpose room of the Sevier County Courthouse to hear an update on the long-awaited community outpatient clinic.

He said Roe credited people in Sevier County for getting that promise frm the VA. “You’re the ones that are making this happen,” he said.

Another person at the meeting read a letter he said he’d received from the VA that indicated they would start looking for a location next year.

That leaves it still unclear whether the VA is interested in using part of the old Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center facility to house the clinic. The county took over that property after the hospital relocated this year.

County Mayor Larry Waters told the audience the county has offered space to the VA. “They sent a letter recently saying the were very interested, but it must meet some requirements,”

PIGEON FORGE — Authorities are seeking the public’s help in finding a local man who disappeared while working Thursday at the Sevier County landfill.

Fifty-year-old Bobby Reagan, a lifelong resident of Sevier County, had been on the job for several hours when he disappeared at about 9:15 a.m., officials said. Reagan’s car was still parked at the facility.

He is described as 5-foot-11 and weighing 220 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt and pants.

T o m Leonard, director of Sevier S o l i d W a s t e Inc., said Reagan guides Reagan trucks into the composting area of the facility; he has been employed there for at least 10 years.

Leonard said it was uncharacteristic for Reagan to leave his position without telling someone where he was going, much less to be away such a long time.

“It would be unusual for him to just be See missing, Page A4

1 in 2 jobs here owed to tourism

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — One out of every two Sevier County residents has a job thanks directly to visitors, a University of Tennessee economist says.

Tourism Institute Director Steve Morris presented a report Thursday on the state of the local economy to the monthly Area Attractions Luncheon. He told the group the area has weathered the recession fairly well compared to other des-

tinations and underscored how important that is to tens of thousands of local people and the county’s revenue engine.

Morse, who regularly speaks at area events, presented information showing the local tourism industry has boomed as other areas have remained stagnant or sagged over the past decade.

According to data Morse was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, visitors to the area now support about 48.3 percent of jobs for local residents, up more than

4 percent since 2001. That means 18,455 people here have jobs thanks to tourism.

That makes the percentage of the job market provided by the industry more than double its nearest follower, with the lump category for retail and wholesale trade, transportation, and utilities employing about one in four workers.

“You have the highest number of people employed in tourism and hospitality of any county in the state,” Morse told the group.

“There are a lot of counties that

wish they could have the kind of growth you’ve had.”

At the same time that market has been adding jobs, other businesses’ claim of the local workforce has shrunk. For instance, financial activities like banking services are now providing just under 6 percent of jobs, down from 7.7 percent in 2001, while manufacturing fell to only 3.2 percent of local jobs.

That doesn’t necessarily mean there are fewer factories or jobs See tourism, Page A4

The Sevier County Tea Party recently endorsed Lt. Gov. Ramsey at its meeting of July 8, with more than 160 people in attendance.

The straw poll vote was 70 percent in favor of Ramsey and the subsequent motion to endorse him was unopposed.

The SCTP has now joined over 20 Tea Party organizations throughout the state endorsing Ramsey’s candidacy.

Ramsey recently said, “I don’t know of any legitimate Tea Party that has not endorsed me,â€? adding â€œâ€Ś no group goes through the vetting process like the Tea Party group has to determine exactly where the candidates stand on an issue.

That’s the reason I’m proud to receive their endorsement after their vetting process.�

Ramsey is an East Tennessee native and 1978 ETSU graduate. He is a small-business owner who obtained his land surveyor’s license in 1981 and started a surveying company that

Admission is free, The evening starts at 7 p.m. and includes a brief testimonial about movie, a showing of the film, a book signing by the author and an opportunity to partner with the filmmakers in producing their next movie, “Paper Wings,� which contrasts agnosticism and faith.

Shady Grove is located at 1675 Harold Patterson Road, Dandridge.

For more information call 850-1850 or 397-7453. “Letters to God� is the story of what happens when one boy’s walk of faith

crosses paths with one man’s search for meaning — the resulting journey touches the lives of everyone around them.

Tanner Maguire portrays 8-year-old Tyler Doughtie. Surrounded by family and community and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal.

Tyler’s prayers take the form of letters, which he writes and mails daily.

The letters find their way of Brady McDaniels, a postman at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters. Over time he begins to form a friendship with the Doherty family, getting to know Tyler and his mom (played by Robyn Lively), grandmother (Maree Chatham) and teen brother Ben (Michael Christopher Bolten).

The parking lot of the Opry Mills Mall is flooded May 4 in Nashville. Federal officials defended their response to the flooding in Tennessee during a congressional hearing on Thursday.

Feds: Could have done better in response to state flooding WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials on Thursday defended their response to historic flooding in Tennessee that killed 22 people earlier this year, while acknowledging they could have done a better job of warning the public of the potential devastation.

Testifying before a Senate committee, leaders of the National Weather Service and the Army Corps of Engineers said the level of flooding was unavoidable given the unprecedented two-day rainfall that doubled the previous record. But they said they didn’t exchange critical information effectively, and that as a result the public and emergency responders were slow to grasp the severity of what was happening.

“The devastating levels and extent of the flood inundation was not conveyed in a clear and

effective manner,” said Gary Carter, director of hydrologic development at the National Weather Service.

He said the agencies understand that improvements are necessary and are working toward them.

The corps’ area commander, Maj. Gen. John Peabody, said the event has caused the agency to reconsider its worst-case weather scenarios.

The flooding, which occurred in early May, was one of the state’s worst natural disasters, causing over $2 billion in damage in Nashville alone.

Furious rains — triple what was forecast — swelled the Cumberland River to nearly 52 feet on May 3, 12 feet above flood level.

The Corps of Engineers issued a draft report this week that identified serious communication prob-

lems. An e-mail from the agency’s Nashville office sent before the floods began was overlooked, for example, meaning that information about the potential severity of the event didn’t move up the chain of command.

The Nashville office also lost its Internet service, hampering its ability to analyze reservoir data.

Local elected officials and members of Congress at Thursday’s hearing offered mixed reviews of the federal government’s efforts, but there was broad agreement that things could have been better.

Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who represents the Nashville area, was particularly critical, saying the corps is putting “a cheerful face on some really ugly facts.” He said the agency was woefully slow to realize the severity of the flooding and

didn’t establish an emergency operations center until people had died.

“It’s hard to see how the corps could give itself any kind of passing grade,” he said. “I know Boy Scout troops that are more prepared than this.”

Rep. Steven Cohen, a Memphis Democrat, said such violent storms are becoming more frequent as a result of global warming. He called on climate change skeptics to take notice and join efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Waters said.

Paul Whaley, veteran service officer for the county, said he’d taken VA officials on a tour of the old hospital and they seemed happy with it, but they also told him it’s possible the property won’t meet criteria.

The VA has advertised for property in Sevier County on two occasions, only to say that it didn’t find property that fit within its budget.

If for some reason the old hospital can’t be used, Waters said the county would help the VA locate other property.

Pigeon Forge police officers were also participating in the search; Chief Jack Baldwin said it is considered a missing-person case at this time.

Leonard said there hadn’t been anything unusual happening at the landfill before Reagan’s disappearance. “It’s a normal garbage day,� he said.

Reagan’s family was waiting outside for news about him. They said it would be unusual for him to leave, and said he was a “workaholic� but does have a heart condition. “He would not go missing like this.

However, Morse said trends he watches suggest there likely are fewer actual jobs in manufacturing. “That is not unlike what is going on in a lot of counties in Tennessee right now, as we’re seeing those manufacturing numbers decrease,� he said.

All those jobs provide a considerable payday for the county, with more than $1 million in salaries earned each day in the tourism industry.

The businesses in the

field rake in $1.5 billion each year and pay about $123 million in taxes annually.

As an illustration of what that means for local families, Morse held up an oversized novelty check. It was made out to Sevier County residents, signed by “Visiting Tourists� and made out for $2,842. “That’s how much each household in this county saves in state and local taxes thanks to tourism,� Morse said. “To put it another way, every household in Sevier County would have to pay $2,842 more in taxes each year if it weren’t for tourism.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

State/nation/world briefs Haslam fires back against attack ads

DYERSBURG (AP) — Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam on Thursday responded to negative television ads by a rival Republican gubernatorial candidate by launching a double-length spot of his own.

In the minute-long ad, Haslam says U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga is misleading voters “about my record and his,� and goes on to defend his record on gun rights, property tax rates in Knoxville and his personal wealth derived from family-owned Pilot Corp. “I’ve tried to focus on the issues in this campaign for governor, but enough’s enough,�

Haslam says in the ad.

Deputy cleared in death of official

MADISONVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says investigators have cleared a Monroe County deputy as a person of interest in the death of a man found in the trunk of a burning car.

Capt. Kenny Hope had been placed on administrative leave with pay, but the TBI said Thursday that Hope and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office cooperated fully and he is returning to his duties.

The dead man has been tentatively identified as Monroe County election commission chairman Jim Miller and an autopsy found the cause of death to be a gun shot wound.

Second pet dies after bee attack

LEBANON, Tenn.

(AP) — A second family pet attacked by bees over the weekend in Middle Tennessee has died.

The two dogs were owned by Susan Garner of Wilson County who came outside on Sunday when she heard her Labrador retriever in distress.

Garner told The Tennessean the 125pound dog was covered in bees. She tried to wash them off with a garden hose, but the dog — named Katie — died.

A smaller Boston terrier wasn’t covered with bees, but was stung repeatedly.

He died Tuesday at a veterinarian’s office.

gen canisters exploded and Smith’s trailer was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at the trailer park off Main Street. He said Smith was a “heavy smoker.�

Man gets 2 years for illegal fishing

NASHVILLE (AP) — A Tennessee man has been sent to jail for nearly two years after he was caught fishing in northern Georgia after being barred for 20 years.

The Tennessean reported Georgia wildlife agents were tipped by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency that 31-year-old Kurt Wesley Ellis of Cleveland had been fishing under an assumed name.

Ellis had served a short jail stint in Bradley County, Tenn., and was on intensive probation for multiple wildlife violations.

Six killed in Greyhound crash

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A Greyhound bus traveling to Sacramento from Los Angeles crashed on a highway in California’s Central Valley early Thursday, killing six and seriously injuring nine others.

The bus, carrying 36 people, struck an SUV that had overturned, slammed into a concrete center divider and clipped another vehicle shortly after 2 a.m. just outside downtown Fresno, 0fficer Axel Reyes said.

The bus went off the right shoulder of the highway and down a 15-foot embankment.

Mortgage rates reach record low

NEW YORK (AP) — Mortgage rates fell to a new record low for the fourth time in five weeks.

But low rates haven’t been enough to lift a struggling housing market.

Freddie Mac says the average rate for 30-year fixed loans this week was 4.56 percent, down from 4.57 last week. That’s the

lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971.

The rate on the 15-year fixed loan dropped to 4.03 percent, down from 4.06 percent last week and the lowest on record.

Rates have fallen since the spring.

Research group: Recovery slows

NEW YORK (AP) — A private research group says its gauge of future economic activity dropped in June, the second decline in past 3 months, suggesting the economic recovery will weaken.

The Conference Board says its index of leading economic indicators fell 0.2 percent last month.

Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a drop of 0.3 percent.

The index was revised to a 0.5 percent increase in May from the initial report of a 0.4 percent gain. The April report was revised to a 0.1 percent drop from a prior estimate of no change.

GM to acquire finance company

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. says it will acquire auto financing company AmeriCredit Corp. so it can increase leasing and make more loans to buyers with low credit scores.

The Detroit automaker says it will pay $3.5 billion to buy all of AmeriCredit’s stock at $24.50 per share — a 24 percent premium over Wednesday’s close.

It expects the deal to close in the fourth quarter.

GM CEO Ed Whitacre said Thursday the deal will make GM more competitive in auto financing.

Housing market’s troubles continue

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of previously occupied homes fell in June and are expected to keep sinking, indicating that the housing market’s troubles are likely to drag on the economic recovery.

Probe: 59 gunshots justified CHATTANOOGA (AP) — Chattanooga police officers will not be charged for firing 59 gunshots at an armed man on his front porch after he walked around his neighborhood with the rifle ranting about suicide, a prosecutor said Thursday.

HamiltonCountyDistrict Attorney Bill Cox said he made the decision based on a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation report that shows officers were placed in “reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm to

themselves or others” by the actions of 32-year-old Alonzo Heyward.

Police have described Heyward’s death on July 18, 2009, as a case of “suicide by cop.”

Cox said the TBI investigation did not “establish criminal culpability on the part of any officers involved” in the pre-dawn shooting.

An attorney for Heyward’s family, Archie Sanders III of Memphis, did not immediately return telephone messages seek-

ing comment Thursday.

The medical examiner found 43 bullet wounds in Heyward’s chest, face, arms, hands, legs, buttocks and groin.

Heyward’s father, James L. Marine, questioned the investigation Thursday, saying his son, a girlfriend and other witnesses were never interviewed.

“I knew it was a waste of taxpayer money,” Marine said. “They haven’t talked to any of the four witnesses.”

“How can you justify shooting a man who was

laying on the porch?”

Marine said.

TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.

The officers’ attorney, Brian Hoss, has said they correctly followed police procedures by first directing Heyward to drop the loaded gun and then trying unsuccessfully to disarm him with a stun gun before Heyward “turned around and lowered the gun and pointed it at them.”

Nation quote roundup “We probably wouldn’t have (our farm) today if it hadn’t been for her leading us in the right direction.

I wish she could get her job back because she was good to us, I tell you.”

— Eloise Spooner of Iron City, Ga., the wife of the white farmer discussed in Shirley Sherrod’s speech that led to her firing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An embarrassed White House apologized to her on Wednesday.

“A lot of us have put a lot of sweat into the program. You’ve got a 100-degree heat index, and there’s a lot of wear and tear on our boats. If something breaks down it can cost $30,000. What they’re paying isn’t a drop in the bucket.”

— Shrimper Minh V. Le of Bayou La Batre on worries that BP might be leaving the Gulf before victims of the oil spill are taken care of.

“If the recovery seems to be faltering, we have to at least review our options.”

— Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke telling lawmakers the outlook for the economy remains “unusually uncertain” but that the Fed plans no specific steps “in the near term” to try to fuel the struggling recovery.

commentary

Obama much better than return to GOP This is about what I think, expressed cleverly by another columnist, Froma Harrop of the Providence Journal: “When the pollster calls and asks whether I think the country is going in the right direction, I will say ‘no.’ When she asks if I approve of the job Congress is doing, I will say ‘no.’ And when she follows up with a question on President Obama’s performance, I will answer: ‘Sometimes good, sometimes bad. The guy drives me nuts at times.’

“But when they ask whether I want Republicans to take back Washington, I’ll respond: ‘Are you out of your mind? We’re still recovering from their last round of debauchery — their fiscal irresponsibility, servility toward Wall Street, disrespect for science, contempt for the environment.’”

Harrop says she is a “reasonable woman,” who does not care about ideology. And she adds that many voters must agree with her.

Well, I do, even if I do care about ideology.

Then, she says: “Republicans doubled the national debt under Bush. Perhaps they’d like to triple it the next time.”

Actually, they have already done that: The national debt tripled during the administration of Ronald Reagan. He made his career by attacking “tax and spend” Democrats.

Then he invented “tax and borrow” Republicanism. That was certified as party dogma when Vice President Dick Cheney told President George W. Bush: “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.”

President Obama may have driven pundit Harrop a bit nuts last week. “You know, sometimes these pundits, they can’t figure me out,” the president said, campaigning in Kansas City, Mo. “They say, ‘Well, why is he doing that? That doesn’t poll well.’ Well, I’ve got my own pollsters, I know it doesn’t poll well. But it’s the right thing to do for America.”

That presidential “insight” was reported a day later, when The New York Times ran the headline “Obama Pushes an Agenda Without an Eye on Polls,” over an analysis by Sheryl Gay Stolberg. His mistake, it seems, was doing what he said he would do when he campaigned for the presidency.

The Times analysis focuses on Obama’s devotion to his agenda to the point that he ignored the immediate concerns of much of the nation: “The political context has changed around him. Today, with unemployment remaining persistently near double digits despite the scale of the stimulus program and the BP oil spill having raised questions about his administration’s competence, Mr. Obama’s signature legislation is providing ammunition to conservatives who argue that government is the problem, not the solution. What Mr. Obama and his allies portray as progressive, activist government has been framed by his opponents as overreaching and profligate when it comes to the economy.”

If you happen to think Obama is a reasonable man, you are impressed that he can survive at all in the current political context.

His presidency and campaigns are and will be about a fundamental American question: What is the role of government?

Obama has shown what he thinks it is, as Stolberg wrote: “Mr. Obama has done what he promised when he ran for office in 2008: He has used government as an instrument to try to narrow the gaps between the haves and the have-nots. He has injected $787 billion in tax dollars into the economy, provided health coverage to 32 million uninsured and now, reordered the relationship among Washington, Wall Street, investors and consumers.”

That would look great to many — and will to history — without context changers like stubborn unemployment, suggesting fundamental changes in the economy that Obama and the rest of us do not yet understand, and the damned oil spill. That context changer is an example of how much hypocrisy the electorate can tolerate and pundits can understand. The same people who are attached to Reagan’s line that the government is the problem, that we need less government outreach, are the people who have been attacking Obama for not doing enough in the Gulf.

Personally, I think the guy, the president, is doing a pretty good job in ominous times.

I will repeat that if any pollster wants to call.

Editorial

Proud Sevier Daughter Linda Jones has proven track record to lead DAR as state regent Linda Jones has paid her dues within the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, staking out a solid resume on the local, regional and state levels. Just recently, Jones was sworn in as Tennessee Society DAR regent in the historic Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. As state regent, Jones will lead the TSDAR during a term that ends in 2013.

Her qualifications are impeccable. She was registrar for the TSDAR from 20012004, was regent for the local Great Smokies chapter from 1997-1999, has served as editor for the DAR newsletter, the Appalachian District secretary and state second vice regent. From 2007 until taking over the top office, Jones was first vice regent.

Leading the TSDAR is a position of great responsibility. The state organization was founded in 1892 in Memphis with the Dolly Madison chapter. It has grown to include five districts, nearly 110 local chapters and more than 5,000

members. It has a strong reputation for integrity, character and community service, and works hand in hand with the Sons of the American Revolution (an organization, to which, not by coincidence, Jones’ husband, Loy, is a member).

But what exactly is it that DAR does?

On its national home Web page, DAR alludes to education, preservation, genealogy, friendship, membership, veterans, landmarks, children, history, scholarships and last — and obviously not least — patriotism. It embodies all those qualities and more. To be elected to lead such an organization on a statewide level is certainly a noteworthy accomplishment.

After assuming the mantel of state leadership, Jones said her theme is “Honor to the Past, Service to the Present and Commitment to the Future.” All three, she said, honor DAR’s national theme of God, Home and Country.

She has chosen — appropriately — the

American Eagle as her emblem, and Psalm 65:7 — “Because you are my help, I sing beneath the shadow of your wings.”

Considering her past body of work within DAR, it is not surprising that Joneshas a definite idea about which projects she wants to advance. Among them: Brainerd Mission Project, Veterans Hospital in Memphis, Fisher House, “Warm Fuzzies” for veterans, “Rosie the Riveter” history project, American Eagle Foundation “Build a Nest Project, and DAR schools and historic preservation of chapter preservation by transferring all records to disk.

For 118 years, chapters of the Tennessee Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution have been leading civic organizations within their communities. Those chapters followed the lead of dynamic women on the statewide level.

In Sevier County’s Linda Jones, that stewardship will be in capable hands for the next four years.

Political view

Public forum People who are coming to America have obligation to speak English

Editor: The problem with the U. S. laws is that not everyone has to follow them. My dad said, “Laws and rules are made for those who follow them, which as a civil society we Americans do.”

There is a segment of our society who do not follow the rules because they come from dysfunctional communities or are foreigners who try to maintain their homeland values. Those who do not follow are those who seem to be the ones protected by the very system responsible for enforcing these laws.

South Florida is a perfect example of communities where no one speaks English after 30 years of residency and a government that supplies city, county and state interpreters, so why should people learn English? Just as the Arizona law mirrors most of the federal law, Arizona residents are the ones suffering because of federal apathy.

Is there a sign at the border saying “Come to America, entitlements to all and no need to learn English”? In 2004 I vacationed in Key West and in 2008 I vacationed in Los Angeles. Both times I needed an interpreter just to speak to housekeeping. Wake up, America.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Local kickers earn preseason all-conference nods Rowlands and Lopez earn 1st and 2nd team SAC kicking honors

Gareth Rowlands

Carlos Lopez

ROCK HILL, S.C. — Two former local prep football players earned All-South Atlantic Conference preseason selections yesterday, the SAC announced.

Gareth Rowards, a rising senior for Tusculum who did his high school kicking at The King’s Academy in Seymour, was named the first-team kick-

er, while Carlos Lopez, a rising junior for CarsonNewman who kicked for the Seymour Eagles, was named to the secondteam.

The pair finished in the exact same order last year in postseason honors.

Rowlands is coming off an All-Region performance last season. The

6-1, 215-pound senior from Benllech, Wales, enters this season as one of the all-time kickers in Tusculum history.

He already holds eight school single-game, season and career kicking records, including career points (159), career PATs made (87), PAT attempts (102) and career field goal

attempts (41). He led the team in scoring with 66 points (2nd in SAC), going 30-for-31 on extra points and 12-of-16 in field goals.

The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic AllDistrict honoree led the SAC in field goals made (12, 17th in NCAA II) as See KICKERS, Page A10

Danny Chastain (5) was Zach Flynn’s backup quarterback last season when he returned this kickoff for a touchdown. This season Chastain will get his shot behind center for the Smoky Bears.

PREP FOOTBALL

Chastain is getting his chance

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School Smoky Bears football team may be coming off a perfect 10-0 regular season campaign from a year ago, but the Purple-andWhite have some question marks heading into this year with just four returning starters on the offensive side of the ball and five on the defensive

side.

But despite losing standout QB Zach Flynn to graduation, the signal-caller spot does not appear to be one of those uncertainties.

“I’m ready,” said rising senior QB Danny Chastain, who’ll take over the Bears’ starting job. “I’m ready to take over the offense, and I’m ready to be the leader this year.”

Chastain said he learned a lot playing the backup role the

past couple of seasons for the Bears.

“I’ve learned a lot from Zach Flynn,” said Chastain. “I picked up some tips from him, and I learned how to carry myself.”

And Chastain’s learning hasn’t ended with former Sevier County players. The new No.1 SCHS quarterback has also worked in three private training sessions this offseason with former Florida

Gators offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ed Zaunbrecher in preparation for 2010.

“Danny has put in some good preparations to get ready for this season,” said 19th-year SCHS head football coach Steve Brewer. “He’s a good athlete. He runs well, and he throws well. We’re glad to have the ball in his hands See CHASTAIN, Page A10

COMMENTARY AND OPINION

Is Major League Baseball making a comeback?

2-0, 2-1, 4-1... Ah baseball is starting to look more like the game I grew up loving.

Over the past season or two, baseball has taken a decided turn back toward its roots.

Gone are the days of the 50 home run middle infielder, the 44-year-old still firing 95 mile-per-hour bullets, and the hostile superstar who shattered a hallowed record under the shadow of performance enhancing drugs.

At least we hope.

For the time being, baseball is the game of our fathers, or at least the game of the pre-steroid era. The game of pitching, strategy and defense.

Home runs are at their lowest since 1993.

Jose Bautista is the major league leader with 26 home runs so far. That puts him on pace for a season total of 44.

National League leaders Joey Votto and Prince Fielder are tied with 23 bombs, which equates to a 40-homer-season possibly leading the NL. The last time 44 home runs would have led the Major Leagues was 1994, and it’s

been 15 years since 40 would have led the NL. And I’m loving it.

I’ve enjoyed every minute of watching pitchers like Ubaldo Jimenez, Josh Johnson, Cliff Lee, Adam Wainright, Roy Halladay and David Price mow down hitters.

It’s been a refreshing change to the game that, since about 1996, has seen its numbers seriously inflated thanks to steroids, HGH, androstenedione and Barry Bonds’ own “the cream” and “the clear.”

From 1982 to 1992, seven times the National League home run leader had less than 40 home runs.

In 1988, Darryl Strawberry led the NL with 39 dingers — nine more than Glenn Davis, his closest competition.

Just eight years later, in 1996, Strawberry’s total of

39 would have found him in ninth place.

In 1996, the year I graduated high school, eight players in the NL hit 40 or more — the most players that had ever hit 40 in an earlier NL season was six, in 1954.

And 1996’s list, which included names like Burks, Hundley, Caminiti and Castilla, doesn’t compare with the 1954 group — made of of names like Duke Snyder, Eddie Matthews, Willie Mays, Gil Hodges and Ted Kluszewski.

The year also provides a great statistical separation.

That was the first time the NL had 2,000 home runs in a season.

In 1996, the NL hit 2,220 homers, sparking the start of a streak of 15 years — to the present — of over 2,000 round-trippers a season.

In fact, in the 12-season period from 1996 to 2007 the National League averaged 2,672 home runs. That’s over a thousand circuit blasts per season more than the league averaged in the 12 previous

seasons, 1984-1995.

Those numbers, now, seem to be slowly deflating.

The National League hit an all-time high of 3,005 homers in 2000. Since baseball’s Mitchell Report came out in the winter of 2009 and baseball seriously increased its stance against PEDs, baseball’s home run totals seem to be declining.

In 2008, NL home run totals dropped 8 percent, by 223 homers. Oddly, the AL saw an increase in home runs by 8 percent in the same year.

This season, however, both leagues’ power productions are dwindling. The NL has seen their homers take a further plunge, their pace dropping another 6 percent from last season.

And the AL has really fallen off, their pace dropping so far that they may end up hitting 15 percent less long balls than last season.

And I couldn’t be more excited. mpsports@themountainpress.com

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Tar Heels’ Davis caught off-guard by NCAA probe

By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer DURHAM, N.C. — North Carolina coach Butch Davis says an NCAA probe into potential rule violations in his football program came “out of left field.”

In his first public comments on the investigation, Davis said Thursday the school is cooperating with the NCAA and that his program follows its rules.

A person familiar with the investigation says the NCAA is looking into whether two seniors received improper benefits from agents. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little are

the focus of the probe, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is confidential.

Davis refused to answer specific questions about the case, saying that the NCAA instructed the school to limit its public comments.

“It certainly kind of came out of left field,” Davis said after a luncheon featuring area coaches. “I don’t think anybody speculated any of this stuff was going to potentially happen. But it is what it is. ... Our players were unbelievably cooperative and we’ll get through this as quickly as possible.”

The probe became public about a week ago after

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

MLB begins testing for HGH in minors NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball implemented random blood testing for human growth hormone in the minor leagues on Thursday, the first professional sports league in the United States to take the aggressive step against doping.

The blood testing becomes part of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, which commissioner Bud Selig introduced in 2001 to test for performanceenhancing drugs.

“The implementation of blood testing in the minor leagues represents a significant step in the detection of the illegal use of human growth hormone,” Selig said in a statement.

“HGH testing provides an example for all of our drug policies in the future.”

Testing will be limited to players with minor-league contracts because they are not members of the players’ association, which means that blood testing is not subject to collective bargaining.

“Obviously, we make a separate decision with regard to the minor league program, but the Major League Baseball Players Association has been proactively engaged in conversations with us on the scientific and logistical issues associated with blood testing at the major league level,” said Rob Manfred, executive vice president labor relations for Major League Baseball The players association has long been against blood testing. Earlier this month, union executive director Michael Weiner told The Associated Press it was “just more complicated than urine testing, from a number of perspectives — player health, collector qualifications, potential for interference with play, among others.”

Outside experts have long

questioned that logic. Told of baseball’s announcement, Gary Wadler, who chairs the committee that determines the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned-substances list, said it was “a significant step forward.”

“One important thing is, as young players evolve through the minor leagues, the concept of a blood test will no longer be alien to them,” Wadler said. “It will be easier to implement it in the major leagues as more players in the minor leagues recognize it makes sense.”

Travis Tygart, the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, also welcomed the news.

“This is another important step in the fight to return all of the playing fields in the U.S. to clean athletes,” he said. “We applaud MLB’s efforts in this regard.”

Tigers president and GM Dave Dombrowski e-mailed the AP that it: “Seems like a positive step for the game.”

Blood samples will be collected after games by the National Center for Drug Free Sport, the organization that currently collects urine samples in the minor leagues. The blood samples will be taken from the nondominant arm of players who are not members of a major league team’s 40-man roster, and sent to a testing laboratory in Salt Lake City for analysis.

NCAA investigators visited the campus in Chapel Hill.

It has been part of a series of similar investigations at defending national champion Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

“I know we take a great deal of pride in doing things ethically, honestly,” Davis said. “I know the feedback that we’ve gotten is we’re doing everything we can to educate our young people about all kinds of things that have to do with collegiate athletics.”

The probe has also prompted the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office to begin its own investigation about potential misconduct

involving agents. The state requires sports agents to register in North Carolina and prohibits them from offering gifts before a contract is signed.

Violations of North Carolina’s agent laws can lead to criminal or civil penalties.

Secretary of State Elaine Marshall has assigned three investigators and said her office has put out notices asking people not to destroy evidence or documents. She said the office can’t punish athletes, but plans to talk to them about their conduct.

“We are focusing on athlete agents and anybody who gave these young peo-

ing the ball extremely well,” said Brewer. “Zach Flynn was just hot and had four 300-yard passing games to finish last season. And when somebody is hot like that, it’s just hard to take him out.

“But at practice toward the end of last season, I commented to our coaches that Danny is throwing the ball as well as anybody we’ve got. Danny can not only run the ball well with his good, quick feet, but he’s a good thrower too.

He’ll surprise you with his throwing ability.”

And as the Bears have done throughout Brewer’s tenure, the next QB-inwaiting is expected to be in the mix on Friday nights as a change-ofpace. Expected to fill that role this season is rising junior Cullen Lavoi.

“We like to get our backup quarterbacks some work, because you never know,” said Brewer.

“Cullen Lavoi is in that role right now.”

every snap this year.”

Chastain has played the QB position on Friday nights as a change-ofpace in spots the past couple of seasons, but he’s also contributed as a punt and kickoff returner, as a defensive back and as a wide receiver. Being utilized so many ways in the past, there is expected to be a learning curve in his first year as a full-time starter.

“The thing that is going to come is the actual decision making that comes with actually being out on the field,” Brewer said about Chastain.

But despite the lack of experience, there is no doubt about Chastain’s athletic ability. Although he has the reputation of a scrambling quarterback, Chastain’s coaches believe he is a multi-dimensional threat.

“The latter part of last season, Danny was throw-

Davis briefly referenced the NCAA investigation when addressing the audience at the preseason football luncheon, which also featured Duke coach David Cutcliffe, East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill, North Carolina Central coach Mose Rison and North Carolina State coach Tom O’Brien. It even offered a moment of levity after McNeill — who is preparing for his first season in Greenville after Skip Holtz left for South Florida — compared the past few months to a whirlwind.

he went a perfect 7-of-7 on field goals from 40-to-49 yards. He also enters this season having made his last 17 straight extra point attempts.

Lopez connected on 10-of-11 field goal attempts to finish third in the league in field goals last season, while finishing first in the conference in percentage.

He also led the conference by making 67-of-69 extra point attempts and

“You think Ruffin would like to trade whirlwinds?”

Davis quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd.

Still, the NCAA investigation couldn’t come at a worse time for Davis, who is preparing for his fourth season in Chapel Hill. He has guided the program to consecutive eight-win seasons, which includes the program’s first backto-back bowl seasons since the late 1990s when Mack Brown left for Texas.

The Tar Heels are expected to contend for the ACC’s Coastal Division title behind a defense that returns nine starters from a unit that ranked among the nation’s best last year.

Today Bill and Mary Arlinghaus will close the Corner Market and Deli, which they’ve run for the last 19 years. Longtime customer Wayne Stinnett sits in the background.

Closing time

Corner Market and Deli shutting its doors

By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor SEVIERVILLE — Seated outside the Corner Market and Deli on Eastgate Road at Burden Hill Road, Bill and Mary Arlinghaus watch the traffic go by. Wayne Stinnett keeps the company as he’s done almost every day since the couple bought the store almost 20 years ago.

But that comes to and end today as the couple closes the store 19 years and two months after they took it over.

You see, the traffic they watch go by has mostly been doing that over the years. Not quite as many people were stopping by any more for one of their famous chili dogs, to pick up a quart of milk on the way home or for a refreshing cola on a hot day.

They still get a few regular visitors, like Stinnett and Buck McCarter and Porter Lambert, who chew the fat at a table inside on this hot, July day.

But for the most part, the hours pass with few customers walking through the door. That’s why the Arlinghauses made the decision about a month ago to close.

They decided to buy the store when Bill became tired of the “hustle and bustle” as manager of the Pigeon Forge Food City, where he worked for 22

years. They chose the Corner Market because of its size. They could run it on their own without hiring any extra help.

“Plus, I’ve always wanted something like this,” Bill said.

The store was at least 20 years old when they purchased it. Along with customers like Stinnett, McCarter and Lambert, the couple also inherited the recipe for the chili that made their chili dogs so popular.

“Everybody thinks we have the best hot dogs,” Mary said. “When we first came here, the older people, they would drive from Knoxville up here to get them. So it was really a booming thing.”

She said the recipe is one formerly used by Ellison’s, which passed it on to the previous owners of Corner Market and Deli. She’s going to keep a tight hold on the recipe for now.

“You can’t never tell, I might have a hot dog stand some place,” she said.

They’d like to keep the store, but the development around the area over the years has gradually brought in more competition that eventually took its toll.

“When we came here there was nothing here,” Mary said. “Sonic, that was it.”

“There was no McDonald’s and Taco

Bell and all out there on Dolly Parton Parkway.”

The Corner Market and Deli served breakfast and lunch.

Lambert, who is 93 and visited the market before the Arlinghauses owned it, especially likes the scrambled egg sandwich.

“But the younger crowd don’t have time to sit around, you know,” Bill said.

Ironically, the new Food City across Eastgate Road and its recent remodeling helped push the couple toward their final decision.

“That really put the topping on it,” Bill said.

That development, competition, the economy and the fewer customers combined to make their choice.

Their customers have been giving through the years. The Arlinghauses accumulated a lot of gifts in the store. A cooler that once chilled groceries now displays dozens of frog-shaped stuffed animals and puzzles they’ve put together during the slow winter months. The frogs were given because Frog Alley is the name by which most locals know the area.

“I’ll share,” Mary said of the toys and animals that will need a home.

The resulting acclaim brought him gigs as an opening act for The Animals, Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys.

Bottle.â&#x20AC;?

While promoting records for RCA, Sheppard formed a relationship with Elvis Presley, who gave him his first tour bus in 1976.

Named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best New Male Artistâ&#x20AC;? in 1976 by Cash Box, Sheppard signed with Warner Bros. when

Motown decided to get out of country music. He scored 10 consecutive No. 1 songs, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only One You,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Party Timeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;War Is Hell (On The Homefront).â&#x20AC;?

His duet with Karen Brooks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faking Love,â&#x20AC;? scored yet another No. 1, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make My Day,â&#x20AC;? a duet with Clint Eastwood featured in the feature film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sudden Impact,â&#x20AC;? crossed over onto the pop charts.

By 1990, Sheppard chose to withdraw from recording and concentrate on his live performances.

He also made a name for himself as a businessman.

In 1988, he opened his private residence in the Great Smoky Mountains as a bed and breakfast.

The 160-year-old log home, built high atop Moon Mountain, is still a popular tourist destination, although he no longer owns the property.

In 1995, he performed exclusively for eight months a year at T.G. Sheppardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theater In The Smokies. He returned to the road in 1997.

Dedication to others leaves lasting impact This run of hot weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been experiencing lately â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the fact that yesterday I saw a motorcyclist at a gas pump sweating profusely while wearing a leather jacket and leather pants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reminded me of a story told by the late â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ambassador of Enthusiasmâ&#x20AC;? Ira Hayes.

Shortly after I had begun speaking professionally, Ira and I were on a program together at Marco Island, Fla. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I first heard him tell the tale.

He said his son begged and nagged for a coonskin hat that had become quite a fad, thanks to the Davy Crockett TV series and some great marketing.

He claimed that once his son got the hat, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it off. He ate in it. He slept in it.

He even tried to slip into church wearing it, but Ira said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he as a father drew the line, which disappointed his son greatly. But as soon as they left the sanctuary the hat was back on.

One day when the temperature streaked up to 95 degrees, his son still wore the faux fur-lined skull cap with a raccoon tail attached.

According to Ira, sweat was pouring off his son, his lips were purple and it looked like he was going into shock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, son,â&#x20AC;? Ira told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 95 degrees.

Take off that hat before you melt and run down the sewer.â&#x20AC;? The son looked up at Ira and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you kidding?

Do you realize that when Davy Crockett went down at the Alamo it was 135 degrees? Do you think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to chicken out at 95?â&#x20AC;?

Ira used the story when he talked about the power of conformity.

I also think it is a good story to illustrate the power of dedication.

I mean, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, Iraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son was really dedicated to that coonskin hat. It was a part of him and, for a while in his life, helped identify who he was.

How long did it last?

It could have been a few months or maybe a year, but then he may have moved on to his favorite baseball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap. Being dedicated to something and that something being a part of who you are is what we do all through life.

Some people are really dedicated to their careers and to the organizations with whom they work. And it shows.

The dedication shines through even when the challenges they face streak up to the 95-degree range, or even up in the heated atmosphere

It is always a pleasure to be associated with a group, whether it is a church, community organization, sports team, business or whatever, when the team members are really turned on to what they believe in and what they do.

A sentence in a Gayle Sayers biography reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride, poise, leadership, dedication and loyalty are all traits exhibited by this NFL Hall of Famer.â&#x20AC;? His dedication and loyalty were evident in his autobiography, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Third,â&#x20AC;? which was produced into an awardwinning television movie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Song.â&#x20AC;?

The movie spotlighted the personal and professional relationship between Sayers and his cancer-stricken teammate, Brian Piccolo.

Sayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; talent led him to great heights, but his dedication to the team and the individual team members endeared him to millions and made him a legend.

We may never be endeared to millions or become legends, but through dedication we can make a tremendous positive difference in our lives and in the lives of individuals and the organizations with whom we are associated. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Š 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.MyMerlin.net, is based on his book and program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Strategy For Winning.â&#x20AC;?

Theater donates teddy bears to Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Center Submitted Report Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Center of Sevier County in Sevierville has received a donation of two teddy bears from the American Oldies Theater.

Theater manager Bill Sullivan delivered the bears.

Sullivan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We at American Oldies Theater are committed to being of service to our community. Although the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Center was created to support and guide young women soon to be mothers, many already have young children and have barely enough money to provide the necessities in life much less buy toys and things like teddy bears for them. We know these bears will end up in the right hands and ultimately bring a smile to a young childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and brighten their day.â&#x20AC;?

The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care Center is in need of volunteers to help as crisis

pregnancy consultants, post-abortion recovery guides, parenting class leaders, and baby boutique helpers. All training is provided free.

The center also is in need of baby and maternity clothes, baby furniture, diapers, formula (especially Good Start) and new car seats.

Donations can dropped off at American Oldies Theater, 167 E. Wears Valley Road (inside the Shops of Pigeon Forge Shopping Center) or at the center on Eastgate Road.

Bill and Mary say they will miss the people more than anything. The market was a hub for conversation over the years, where everything from politics to religion was often discussed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some heated discussions,â&#x20AC;?

Mary said.

A short while earlier, a young man they knew as a child came in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said something to him, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh I think I was in kindergarten when I came in here the first time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s married and got kids. Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange,â&#x20AC;? Bill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad to see it go,â&#x20AC;?

McCarter and Lambert feel the same way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well for me it will be a sad day I guess,â&#x20AC;?

Bill and Mary said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for all of the friendships theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for the support,â&#x20AC;? Bill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to miss them.â&#x20AC;?

Advice

Reconciliation possible, but all parties must make effort

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: When my widowed father required constant care, I tried repeatedly and without success to have him moved to my home, but was rejected by my siblings, as well as by my father, who wanted to stay in his home. I live quite a distance away and was unable to share in his care, although I did visit periodically. The burden fell to my brother and sister, who hired a wonderful person to help.

I have had strained relations with my siblings for many years. When Dad died, my brother had him cremated before I could say goodbye. My family was purposely left out of the memorial service, and my siblings blocked my attempts to speak at the eulogy. I was devastated and appalled.

I am successful, wellliked and respected in my community, and I’ve been married for 30 years to a wonderful woman.

Both my sister and my brother have endeavored to discredit me within the family. Although the horrible lies they told were not believed by close relatives, doubts still linger with those who don’t know me well.

The way my siblings have treated me makes me terribly angry, but they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong. In fact, they expect me to apologize to them. I tried this tactic once before and do not wish to made a fool of again.

I have come to realize that I must either make all the effort to maintain any semblance of a relationship or remove them from my memories forever. Do you think reconciliation is possible? — Needing Closure Dear Needing: Anything is possible, but it will take all of you to

achieve it. Ask your siblings whether they would be willing to go with you for professional counseling so you can work on improving your relationship. It is truly the best way for each of you to air your differences under the guidance of an impartial observer, and is worth making the trip to their city or arranging it via phone or online therapy. If they refuse, we hope you will get counseling for yourself in order to make peace with the situation. Our condolences.

Dear Annie: My husband has a problem with constant flatulence.

He passes gas every 15 minutes, and it drives me crazy. Our two teenage daughters run out of the room.

I have asked him to see a doctor because I fear there might be something medically wrong, but he refuses, saying it’s a natural bodily function.

Please help. We can’t stand to be around him.

— Indy Dear Indy: According to the Mayo Clinic, it is normal to pass gas between 10 and 20 times a day. People who are lactose or gluten intolerant or eat a diet rich in fiber are more likely to have gas problems.

Check to see if it’s worse after your husband eats specific foods. You also can try over-the-counter remedies such as Beano, lactase supplements, medications like Gas-X and activated charcoal. If

there is pain in the abdomen, however, it’s time to call the doctor. That could indicate diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease or a partial bowel obstruction.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Loving Cousin in Philly,” whose relatives were conceived using donor sperm. It’s too bad others know about it, but if the parents wanted their kids to have this information, they would have told them directly.

My husband and I used donor sperm to conceive our son. Our psychologist told us that keeping this information to ourselves was fine. She stressed that if we wanted to tell our child, we should make that part of his story from the beginning, not spring it on him later in life.

That cousin should mind his own business.

There is no way to get that genetic information anyway. Sperm banks will not release donor data. — Idaho Dear Idaho: Actually, some sperm banks will indeed release donor information regarding medical history, and we think everyone is entitled to that much.
