Haslam pours $1M into GOP gubernatorial bid

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer

INSIDE

A R L I N G T O N — Republican Bill Haslam’s contribution to his gubernatorial bid now tops $1.45 million, according to last campaign finance reports before next week’s primary.

The Knoxville mayor’s report filed late Thursday shows he had poured $1 million into his campaign from the beginning of the month through Monday. He previously injected $400,000 into his effort in June.

Rival Republican candidate Zach Wamp said Haslam’s self-funding indicates a lack of fiscal discipline.

“They’re spending money like drunken sailors, and I don’t think you want a governor like that,” Wamp told The Associated Press at a campaign event in Arlington.

Wamp, meanwhile, reported the least available campaign cash among the three major Republican candidates.

The Chattanooga congressman had $56,573 remaining, compared with Haslam’s nearly $200,000 and

Crash snarls traffic on 66, one injured

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Although Fort Sanders Sevier Senior Center hosts a “birthday anniversary” lunch on the fourth Friday of each month, this month’s celebration was extra special — it was “Christmas in July.”

“One of the seniors came up with the idea,” said Jane Foraker, Senior Center program coordinator. “I loved it.”

Many of the center’s patrons were dressed in festive red and green (with a few Santa hats) and brought gifts to exchange with one another. They enjoyed a covered dish lunch along with bingo and Christmas music performed by the senior group “The Good Time Band.”

“July and August are usually kind of quiet around here, but this summer has been amazing — our participation has really been up,” Foraker said.

state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey’s about $232,000.

Each of the candidates have additional money available for the general election, but can only spend it if they win the nomination on Aug. 5.

Wamp said his report reflects that his campaign has already bought all of the television advertising time it needs before the primary.

“Because we wanted to go ahead and pay our bills, we’re right down to the wire,” he said.

“We’re going to finish right on budget.”

Haslam said during a campaign stop at Tennessee Tractor LLC in Jackson that his campaign has been prepared to do whatever is necessary to fend off attacks from his rivals, including adding personal cash.

“With all the negative ads about us, we responded,” he said.

All three candidates had heavy expenditures in the period, led by Haslam’s $1.7 million.

Wamp spent nearly $784,000 and Ramsey $777,000. Much of the spending was focused

SEVIERVILLE —Northbound traffic on Highway 66 was closed about an hour at lunchtime Friday after a threecar wreck in front of the Flea Trader’s Paradise.

Sevierville police spokesman Bob Stahlke said the wreck happened at about 11:30 a.m. when a car traveling south swerved to avoid stopped traffic and struck a motor home, causing the motor home to cross into the northbound lane and strike a third vehicle.

A woman in that third car was pinned in the wreckage, he said.

Rescue and fire person-

nel had to get through traffic themselves before they could set about freeing her from the vehicle; dispatchers said she was pinned under the dash.

Southbound traffic was closed for a brief time, and northbound lanes were closed about an hour while personnel worked to free the woman and clear the wreckage, Stahlke said.

During that time, they rerouted northbound traffic through the parking lot of Flea Trader’s Paradise.

The woman was airlifted to The University of Tennessee Medical Center; Stahlke said her injures did not appear to be life threatening.

Democrats: Rangel should resign

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Calls for Rep. Charlie Rangel’s resignation rained down on Capitol Hill late Friday from House Democrats who said more than a dozen ethics charges against the 20-term lawmaker showed a disregard for the rules and undermined the public’s confidence in Congress.

The calls came as Democrats headed home for their monthlong recess wrestling with how to handle the tax and disclosure charges against Rangel back in their districts as election season loomed. Republicans, meanwhile, raced ahead with plans to make Rangel

the face of corrupt Washington under the rule of Democrats who had vowed to clean up Congress.

For his part, Rangel met with perhaps his staunchest supporters, members of the New York state delegation, in the stately Capitol parlor named for the Ways and Means Committee that he headed until March.

“He indicated there was some sloppiness” in his official papers, Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., told reporters, “but, you know, there’s no criminality here.”

House rules and credibility — not criminality — were the reasons cited See Rangel, Page A4

A House panel on Thursday made public for the first time 13 charges of misusing his office and tax and disclosure violations against Rangel, 80, as it opened the trial phase of the ethics proceedings against him. If Rangel and the ethics committee do not settle the case, it goes to a public trial this fall, at the height of an election season in which every member of the House, 36 in the Senate and the Democratic majorities of both chambers are on the line.

Ramsey said in an interview in Elizabethton earlier this week that he’s pleased at the financial position his campaign is in, especially because he is the only candidate who was bound by a fundraising blackout for sitting lawmakers while the General Assembly was in session. “I’ve been running for 17 months, and nine out of those months I couldn’t raise a dime,� he said.

Ramsey said his most concentrated campaign efforts couldn’t begin until after early voting had already begun on July 16 because he had to make his money last until the primary. “I would have loved to have an extra $1 million

in the bank and peaked a week before that, but we were realistic,� he said.

Ramsey said he has been unfazed by Haslam’s contributions. “I never worried about Haslam because I knew he would have an infinite amount of money when the time comes,� he said.

Haslam had spent a total of $8.8 million through Monday, compared with Wamp’s $3.4 million and Ramsey’s $2.4 million.

Ramsey suggested that Haslam’s campaign cash hasn’t been well spent. “Let me assure you that if I spent (what) mayor Haslam has, I would sewn this race up in May,� he said.

Haslam disagreed. “You can play ifs and buts all day long,� he said. “They had the same opportunity to go out and raise money we did.�

Ore. prosecutor says no Gore prosecution

By WILLIAM McCALL Associated Press Writer PORTLAND, Ore. — Former Vice President Al Gore won’t be prosecuted over allegations by a masseuse that he groped and assaulted her in his Portland hotel room in 2006, the county prosecutor said Friday.

District Attorney Michael Schrunk said the case has numerous problems and isn’t appropriate for a criminal prosecution.

Among the difficulties that Schrunk cited: Although the red-haired masseuse said she was ter-

rified of Gore, she also said she called him after their encounter and told him to “dream of redheaded women.�

Schrunk also said the woman — Molly Hagerty — told the hotel she appreciated the business referrals it had given her, and didn’t mention any problems with Gore just two nights earlier.

Gore denied the charges, including under questioning July 22 by local detectives. His aides welcomed the news. “Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he

first learned of its existence three years ago,� spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said in a statement. “He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved.�

There were questions about the veracity of the accuser’s claims from the start.

Detectives investigated the claims in 2006 and 2009 but decided not to pursue the case because of what they called the accuser’s lack of cooperation and erratic behavior.

Protesters join hands as police block the street in Phoenix on Thursday during a rally against Arizona’s new immigration law, SB1070.

Ariz. governor considers changing immigration law PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday she is asking legislators to consider whether they should change the state’s immigration law in the wake of a judge’s ruling blocking enforcement of key parts of it.

Brewer said she spoke to legislative leaders Thursday about the possibility of calling a special session to “tweak� the law to respond to the parts U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton faulted in her Wednesday order. “Basically we believe SB1070 is constitutional but she obviously pointed out faults that can possibly be fixed, and that’s what we would do,� Brewer told The Associated Press. “It would be very cleancut, simple,� she said.

Brewer said no specific possible changes have been identified and that she’d work with her own legal team and Republican legislative leaders.

A House Democratic leader, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema of Phoenix, called Brewer’s desire to change the immigration law laughable.

“Why would we help her? This bill is so flawed and clearly a federal judge agrees,� Sinema said.

Lawmakers should instead work on bipartisan legislation targeting smuggling cartels and drop houses, she said.

House Speaker Kirk

Adams said there would be little support among fellow Republicans to weaken the law.

Attorneys have begun reviewing the law to identify possible changes but that effort is just beginning, Adams said. “It’s embryonic,� he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had a fitting end to a choppy July as prices seesawed their way to a narrowly mixed finish.

The market still had its best month in a year.

Investors had an ambivalent response Friday to the government’s gross domestic product report, which showed that economic growth slowed in the April-June quarter.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 120 points in early trading, then ratcheted up and down until the close.

The Dow ended down just a point, and the other big indexes had similarly small moves.

The day was much like the rest of July, which saw investors alternate-

ly buying on strong earnings reports and selling on weak economic numbers.

The Dow rose 7.1 percent for the month. The Dow and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index both had their best months since July 2009 and their first winning months since this past April.

A repeat performance

in August seemed unlikely due to the market’s current pessimism, especially since the bulk of secondquarter earnings reports are in. Many investors, uncertain about the where the market is heading, stayed on the sidelines for much of July or moved money into safer investments.

Black walnut tree thousand canker first in East U.S.

By BILL POOVEY Associated Press Writer CHATTANOOGA — A forester working in East Tennessee discovered what is likely the first thousand canker disease in black walnut trees in the eastern United States, state agriculture officials said Friday.

Tennessee Department of Agriculture spokesman Tom Womack said further tests on a sample taken from a yard in Knox

County will positively identify the fungus that is carried by tiny beetles and kills black walnut trees.

Womack said “it certainly does appear this may be the first thousand canker disease find east of the Mississippi. He said Friday that follow-up test results should be available by late next week.

Forester Tim Phelps said black walnut trees are “pretty widespread throughout the East” and common across Tennessee. He said the fun-

gus carried by the boring beetles kills a tree in a few years.

“It is a beetle that channels underneath the bark of the walnut and through that process of tunneling is where the fungus spreads,” Phelps said.

He said the disease discovered in black walnuts in the U.S. in the 1990s is currently in eight western states: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

The Gatlinburg City Commission will consider its annual budget and property tax levy when it meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

The commission also will consider hiring Merit Construction Inc. to clean the wastewater treatment plant digester and demolish a roof; and an agreement with the Board of Education on a water/ sewer project.

commentary

three cheers Jumpstart Camp boosts special-needs children

Big money to be made in grievance Former NAACP leader Julian Bond wants President Obama to lead a “national dialogue” on race, but the president is not going to do that, and he’s making a smart political decision.

In the wake of the Shirley Sherrod story, the race issue is back in the news, but any public discussion is fraught with danger. Trying to define and heal racial divisions in America will inevitably lead to verbal roadside bombs — anything can explode at any time.

The problem is common ground.

Sherrod, for example, was raised in the Deep South at a time when white oppression kept her family in fear for their lives. In fact, her father was murdered, and Sherrod has said it changed her entire life.

Black Americans raised before federal civil rights legislation was passed have indelible memories of the racial horror that was heaped upon them.

No matter what anyone says, those experiences have shaped attitudes that are in stone.

And if you didn’t live through what Sherrod did, it is impossible to know exactly how she feels.

Obama says Americans should understand and celebrate the enormous racial progress that’s been made in this country, and that is a sensible, positive request.

But for many, Obama’s vision is naive. Race remains an exposed electrical wire. If you say the wrong thing, even innocently, you risk being branded a bigot by those who use racial division as a political club or as a profit center.

There is big money to be made in the grievance industry.

Obama witnessed this first hand in Chicago.

His former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, recently bought a million-dollar property in a mostly white neighborhood. Wright sells CDs of his anti-American speeches in the lobby of the Trinity Church.

Despite the recession, business has been good.

By the way, as Obama has pointed out, Wright was raised before the feds began to right racial wrongs.

Many Americans believe that blacks began to sample freedom once the Civil War was over. But it was not until President Harry Truman began a program to lend money at 1 percent interest to black sharecroppers that African-Americans outside the cities truly had a chance to compete in the free marketplace. Older black Americans remember the struggles of Jackie Robinson, Lena Horne and many others. They also remember the assassination of Dr. King at the hands of a white racist. All these turbulent events are still playing out today.

Obama knows all this. He well understands that he cannot get caught in the swamp of racial politics and still effectively lead the nation.

So he is promoting expensive entitlements and tax-the-rich policies in trying to help poor Americans of all colors, believing African-Americans will benefit most of all. But do not expect Obama to engage in color discussions. He will not.

The essential divide in America right now is this: Does the country owe a debt to those who were wronged throughout history, or should we get past the past and drop the color and ethnic divisions?

Opinion on the answer to this question is, of course, divided. And rarely are hearts and minds changed on the matter.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are rapidly dwindling and soon children will return to classes for the 2010-11 school year. Folks at the Sevier County Civitan Club and Kodak United Methodist Church came up with a neat idea to give some students a little extra help in preparing for the day-to-day routines into which they will soon be settling.

From Monday-Thursday of this week, the Jumpstart Special Needs Camp was held at the church, with 25 children participating. The camp enabled the children to squeeze a little more enjoyment from the waning days of vacation while getting them into a more structured day. Most of the children were autistic, but there were a few with other developmental disabilities.

The kids participated in many activities such as making puppets and tie-dyed shirts and hats, painting rocks, playing games and they even got to grill out and see a fire truck from the Northview/ Kodak Fire Department. What an enjoyable and innovative way to get ready for school.

Midnight 8K road race gives Once (or twice) again, SPD runners, PFHS a cool event reaches out to community Are you a serious runner — or even casual jogger — who loves to break up the monotony of those daily runs with an occasional road race? The problem at this time of the year is that even when the races are held at 8 a.m. or earlier, the heat and humidity can still be stifling. Fear not, you fleet of feet, tonight your summertime doldrums will be answered.

With the Knoxville Track Club coordinating the event, the annual Pigeon Forge Midnight 8K road race will be held at, well, midnight, with staging to begin at 11:50 p.m. in the Sevier County Bank parking lot on the Parkway. Some 500 participants are expected to run, and there will be wheelchair and hand-cycle divisions.

Race-day registration is $30, but those opting to not receive a T-shirt get a $5 discount. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Pigeon Forge High School athletic teams. With the race beginning at midnight, this could be a really cool idea.

Although catching crooks and patrolling our roadways might be considered a priority, those are not the only things the Sevierville Police Department does for our community. It seems representatives of the SPD are always going the extra mile, whether it is teaching safety classes, going into the schools or working with various organizations on any number of projects. SPD will showcase a couple of those outreaches in the next week.

On Tuesday, the SPD is taking part in the National Night Out program in the Gateway, Robert S. Howard and Eastgate communities from 7-10 p.m. At all three locations child fingerprinting and general safety information will be available, while at Gateway child car safety seat checks will also be available.

On Wednesday, the SPD will have officers at Woodland Park, LeConte Terrace and Breckenridge apartments from 6-8 p.m. to offer special services to seniors.

Information on the MEDRAY and Tel-ATend programs and general safety will be available.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE BASEBALL

Canzler’s two blasts power Smokies over Jaxx SEVIERVILLE– Russ Canzler did his best to take over the Tennessee Smokies’ home run lead in Thursday night’s contest with the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx.

His two home runs led a 13-hit attack that propelled the Smokies to a 9-3 win over the Diamond Jaxx in front of 3,174 at Smokies Park.

The win puts Tennessee 20 games back over .500 at 61-41 overall, 19-14 in the season’s second half.

Both offenses came out swinging Thursday night. West Tenn jumped on Tennessee and starter Craig Muschko as the first three batters Muschko faced got a hit. Johan Limonta’s double brought in the first run of the game, while Alex Liddi’s groundout brought in another to put West Tenn up 2-0.

Tennessee came right back with two runs in the bottom of the frame to tie the game at 2-2.

Tony Campana led off with a triple and then scored on a pickoff attempt gone bad at third base, cutting West Tenn’s lead to 2-1. Canzler then followed later in the inning with his first round-tripper of the game, a solo shot off West Tenn starter Steve Bray (5-7) that tied the game at two.

A run in the third by the Smokies gave them their first lead of the game at 3-2. They then opened it up in the fifth with five runs in the frame to go up 8-2. Guyer, Brett Jackson and Tony Thomas each drove in a run in the frame, while Canzler’s 14th home run of the year brought in two more.

Thomas closed out the

scoring for Tennessee with a RBI-triple in the seventh, scoring Guyer to extend the Smokies’ lead to 9-2.

On the night, Thomas would go 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Campana, Canzler, Guyer and Jackson also chipped in with two-hit games, while Canzler’s three runs driven in was tops in the RBI category. He is now tied with Robinson Chirinos for the team home run lead.

Not lost in the Smokies’ offensive display was the effort put forth by Muschko and reliever Marco Carrillo. Muschko (5-3) struck out six in six innings, allowing only two runs on four hits, to get the win. Carrillo (S, 1) struck out four over the final three frames to pick up the save.

Midnight Smoky Bears re-loading on the offensive line race is tonight in Forge

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

PIGEON FORGE — Pigeonforge.com is reviving the tradition of the Pigeon Forge Midnight 8K tonight at the stroke of 12.

The race, which is still flat and very fast, has been on hiatus for a few years, but is being brought back with gusto.

Race day registration will begin tonight at 10 p.m. and close at 11:30. Cost to race is $25.

All pre-race activities will take place Saturday evening at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center in Pigeon Forge and the Sevier County Bank parking lot adjacent to the hotel.

Participants will line up at 11:55 pm and the race will start at Midnight.

Sponsors for the race include: PigeonForge.com, The Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center, Collier Restaurant Group, Sevier County Bank and the City ofPigeon Forge.

Volunteers are still needed for the race. Contact race director David Morris, atsmokymtnhiker@aol. com or Caroline Lamar at carolinelamar@hotmail. com.

SEVIERVILLE — “This is probably the first time ever that I’ve ordered the line t-shirts and not had to order a triple-extra large,” Sevier County High School line coach Bill Galloway said Friday.

Though this year’s incarnation of Smoky Bears lineman measure a

mite smaller than the previous team, they’ve also got something a few of the Bear lines of the past haven’t had — speed.

“We’ll be a lot quicker up front and more athletic,” Galloway said.

But there is also a downside.

“They’re not as big and powerful,” the coach said.

Glancing over the Bears’ roster, the biggest line-

men tip the scales at 265 — a far cry from some of the huge linemen of the past.

But Galloway said that size isn’t always what a team needs on their line.

“We’ll be alright,” Galloway said. “With Danny (Chastain) at quarterback we’re not going to line up and run a wishbone and knock people off the ball.

“We’re going to spread it out and chuck it all over the field and spread you out and then run the ball on you a little bit. It fits the personnel we have. We’re not going to line it up and run the Nebraska.”

The team’s starters should be senior Brad Kreceman (6-2, 200) at right tackle, sophomore Logan Jepko (6-0, 265) at right guard, sophomore

Dustin McGill (6-3, 260) at center, sophomore Ray Smith (6-1, 235) at left guard and junior Jake Robbins (5-8, 205) at left tackle.

“They’re young -- three sophomores, a junior and a senior,” Galloway said.

Only McGill, Krecemen and Robbins have varsity experience. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Haynesworth fails second conditiong test with ’Skins ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Early Friday morning, the cones were lined up 25 yards apart on the field for Albert Haynesworth’s conditioning test. He needed to complete the first part in 70 seconds or less to have a chance to pass.

He clocked 71.

Another failed effort.

Once again, the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle was not allowed to participate in practice at Washington Redskins training camp.

And so the Haynesworth saga drags on. By now, some coaches or organizations would have worked out some sort of a behindthe-scenes compromise in the name of team harmony and good publicity, especially with one measly second hanging in the balance. Not Mike Shanahan.

The rules are the rules are

the rules for the Redskins new coach, no matter who the player is.

“Either you play by the rules, you’re gone or you’ll get fined, one of the two,” fullback Mike Sellers said.

“He’s a no-nonsense guy.

A lot of the vets around here who are pretty much old-school guys appreciate it.”

Perhaps Haynesworth didn’t see it coming, especially after spending last season under laid-back, player-friendly coach Jim Zorn. Or perhaps he thought by now he’d be playing for another team.

Or perhaps he’d heard stories about the “star treatment” given to Redskins players such as Michael Westbrook, Bruce Smith and Clinton Portis over the years.

Either way, Haynesworth has learned

the hard way that going toe-to-toe with Shanahan is not a good idea: Shanahan is going to win.

“He wants to come in and put a lot of discipline in this thing,” defensive end Phillip Daniels said.

“Discipline is the key.”

So, for Haynesworth, the second day of training camp was much like the first. After failing the test, he was sent inside to do treadmill and agility work while the rest of the team practiced. After practice, Haynesworth emerged in a long-sleeved gray T-shirt and burgundy shorts and spent about 15 minutes walking through some plays with defensive coordinator Jim Haslett in order to learn the playbook.

A few fans yelled support as Haynesworth walked back to the build-

ing. He paused to sign a few autographs but did not speak to reporters.

The Redskins, however, took a different approach in explaining the whole thing. Shanahan had previously declined to reveal the details of Haynesworth’s conditioning test, but on Friday the team sent out strength and conditioning coach Ray Wright to give a full breakdown.

Haynesworth, explained Wright, was the only player required to take the test because he was the only player not to attend 50 percent of the team’s offseason workouts.

However, the players did run the same drill as part of those workouts in the spring.

The test consists of 300 yards of sprints - called a “shuttle” - back and forth 25 yards at a time. It has

to be run twice, with only a 3 1/2-minute break in between. The short break demonstrates that the player can recover quickly. Linemen have to run the first shuttle in 70 seconds, the second one in 73 seconds.

Haynesworth clocked 70 seconds on the first shuttle when he tried to pass the test on Friday but he then violated the test’s rules by taking an extended potty break.

“He had to use the restroom,” Wright said. “You get 3 1/2 minutes. He was gone close to 10.”

So Haynesworth had to start all over again and failed.

On Friday, his first shuttle took 71 seconds, so there was no need to run the second one. He’ll try See HAYNESWORTH, Page A10

again Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning how to run it,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pace you have to have, a certain tempo each 25 yards, and I expect him to pass it pretty soon.â&#x20AC;?

Shanahan called the drill a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very minimal testâ&#x20AC;? that most of his players could do â&#x20AC;&#x153;in their sleep.â&#x20AC;?

He said he is confident Haynesworth will eventually pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put a guy out there before heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready, before I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in shape,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing for him. He may not know that at this time, but I can guarantee you, the big linemen that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with, the guys that are in the trenches, they still need to be in shape.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, Haynesworth would often take a knee at the ends of plays and

would have to leave the game. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played 16 games in a regular season since he was a rookie in 2002, but he has noticeably slimmed down this year.

Haynesworth, entering the second year of a seven-year, $100 million contract, stayed away from the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offseason program because he wanted to work with his own trainer and because he is unhappy with the switch to a 3-4 defense. He was hoping the Redskins would trade him rather than make him report to camp.

On Friday, Shanahan was clearly getting tired of having the Haynesworth matter dominate the opening days of camp.

The coach wants to move on to other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next time we talk about this,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan told reporters, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practicing with us.â&#x20AC;?

Another rule - and one that will no doubt be followed.

Advice

Son’s disinterest in school could signal learning disability or simple immaturity

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: Our 16-year-old son, “Kevin,” finished his sophomore year and received nothing but D’s and C’s on his report card. He is not concerned in the least, telling us, “D’s are passing grades, and that’s good enough for me.”

We have made it clear that we want Kevin to go to college, not only to learn skills for the job market, but to fully develop himself as a human being. I have repeatedly tried to encourage him and be positive, but without more effort, we are afraid his grades won’t be good enough to get into any college.

He tells me he does his homework at school, yet his online grade book indicates assignments are missing. He told me before finals that he passed his last science test by looking at his neighbor’s paper. I told him he was never to do that again, and it is better to fail than cheat.

Kevin is simply not interested in getting decent grades. The only initiative he’s shown lately is studying to get his restricted driver’s license. What can we do?

— Worried Mom in the Midwest Dear Worried: Many car insurance companies offer lower rates for drivers with higher grade point averages, and you might tell Kevin that he won’t get his license until his grades improve. But you also should have him tested for hidden learning disabilities, which may not only be hampering his efforts at school, but discouraging him from trying. Please keep in mind that some kids simply mature later. Kevin may need to get a job or do a little traveling after

high school. And don’t ignore your local community colleges. A four-year university would be a waste of time and money if Kevin isn’t ready. You cannot force him to do better, so you may as well back off a bit and hope he’ll get there on his own eventually.

Dear Annie: You have mentioned hoarders in the past, but I never truly understood what it meant. Recently, I had to make a service call to a customer who refused to let me in. When I finally convinced him to open the door, I immediately regretted it. Oh, my.

This man had every living area filled with stuff all the way to the ceiling.

The halls were littered with trash and old food as high as my knees. It was a fire hazard and highly unsanitary. I am sure no one had set foot in his house for decades.

There was no air conditioner in this hot weather, and to make matters worse, the man was breathing oxygen through a plastic tube.

Annie, I felt sorry for him and reported the situation to our local Adult Protective Services.

These people are in serious need of help. — Appreciate it Now Dear Now: Compulsive hoarding is a psychiatric problem.

There was a recent case in Chicago of an elderly couple whose home was so filled with trash that

they became trapped beneath fallen towers of garbage. Fortunately, neighbors called the police and fire crews rescued the couple before they died of starvation.

Dear Annie: I’m writing about “Texas,” who is struggling with childhood abuse from a bipolar mother and absent father.

He mentioned having dreams and reliving childhood moments in the middle of the night. It would not be surprising if his early experiences left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I wanted to make sure he knows there are some very effective treatments available now that may help him with some of the more intense symptoms. He should specifically look into EMDR -- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming. He can find practitioners in his area through this website: emdria.org/index. cfm. I wish him well.

— Chaplain Susan Keppy Dear Chaplain Keppy: Thank you for the suggestion. We hope “Texas” will see his doctor for a complete evaluation.

Wildfire jumps over aqueduct, nears homes

Signs of oil spill recovery entering new phase

PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A huge wildfire in the high desert wilderness north of Los Angeles jumped an aqueduct on Friday, rushing toward a subdivision of homes as firefighters also tried to keep flames from damaging power lines that bring electricity to Southern California.

Winds apparently carried embers across the wide concrete channel, with flames rapidly spreading to backyard fences at the edge of Palmdale.

Helicopters dipped buckets into the aqueduct to make rapid water drops. No homes appear to have been damaged. Numerous fire engines were in the area.

The fire has burned more than 12 square miles since erupting Thursday afternoon.

Aircraft bombarded flames on ridges above the Antelope Valley on the southern edge of the Mojave Desert, while 750 firefighters working in high heat sought to outflank the blaze no matter which way it moved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to pinch it off and call it done,â&#x20AC;? Los Angeles County fire Capt.

Andrew Olvera said.

The fire was only 5 percent contained a day after it erupted.

U.S. casualties in Afghanistan soar to record highs; 3 die Friday

By ROBERT H. REID Associated Press Writer KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a summer of suffering, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military death toll in Afghanistan is rising, with backto-back record months for U.S. losses in the grinding conflict. All signs point to more bloodshed in the months ahead, straining the already shaky international support for the war.

Six more Americans were reported killed in fighting in the south â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three Thursday and three Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pushing the U.S. death toll for July to a record 66 and surpassing June as the deadliest month for U.S. forces in the nearly nineyear war.

U.S. officials confirmed the latest American deaths Friday but gave no

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new boss says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;scalebackâ&#x20AC;? in cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Federal officials say there is no way the crude could reach the East Coast. And fishing areas are starting to reopen.

There were several signs Friday that the era of thousands of oil-skimming boats and hazmat-suited beach crews is giving way to long-term efforts to clean up, compensate people for their losses and understand the damage wrought. Local fishermen are doubtful, however, and say oil remains a bigger problem than BP and the federal government are letting on.

Other people contend the impact of the spill has been overblown, given that little oil remains on the Gulf surface, but Bob Dudley, who heads BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil spill recovery and will take over as CEO in October, rejected those claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who thinks this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a catastrophe must be far away from it,â&#x20AC;? he said in Biloxi, where he announced that former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief James Lee Witt will be supporting BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf restoration work.

further details. Five of the latest reported deaths were a result of hidden bombs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the insurgentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weapon of choice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the sixth to an armed attack, NATO said in statements.

U.S. commanders say American casualties are mounting because more troops are fighting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Taliban are stiffening resistance as NATO and Afghan forces challenge the insurgents in areas they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to give up without a fight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recent months in Afghanistan have ... seen tough fighting and tough casualties. This was expected,â&#x20AC;? the top U.S. and NATO commander, Gen. David Petraeus, said at his Senate confirmation hearing last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sense is that the tough fighting will continue; indeed, it may get more intense in the next few months.â&#x20AC;?
