Democrat swings at Haslam on day after primary By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE — Democrat Mike McWherter came out swinging against Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Haslam on Friday, the first full day of the general election campaign to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Bredesen. In a conference call with statehouse reporters McWherter offered a laundry list of criticisms of Haslam that ranged from raising property taxes his first year as Knoxville mayor to his refusal to divulge his earnings from familyowned Pilot Corp., both familiar refrains from the GOP primary. “Bill Haslam is clearly hid-
ing something — something he’s ashamed of,” McWherter said. “And I don’t know what that is, and until he discloses it, I don’t guess any of us will.” McWherter, son of former Gov. Ned McWherter, said that while Haslam was able to win a threeway battle for the Republican nod on Thursday, netting 47 percent of the vote, the results also showed that more than half of GOP voters favored someone else. “There is clearly a lot of pushback to Bill Haslam,” he said. “When you spend $9 million or $10 million and you get less than 50 percent of the vote in the primary, I think there’s a lot of dissatisfaction.”
Members of tea party groups, most of which endorsed state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey for the GOP nomination, may be among those most disaffected by Haslam’s win. Tea Party Nation leader Judson Phillips said won’t support Haslam this fall. “Haslam is just your typical tax-and-spend politician, and he’s just going to be more of the same,” Phillips said. “Just because he won the primary doesn’t automatically entitle him to my support, or that of members of the tea party.” But Mark Skoda, who heads the Memphis Tea Party, said he See MCWHERTER, Page A4

Sevier schools require incoming seventh-graders get booster shots By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The Sevier County School System is reminding parents that their incoming seventh-graders need to receive shots for the upcoming school year. Recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the decision was made by the Tennessee Department of Health in January. The shots required are Tetanus-diptheriapertussis booster (Tdap) and the chicken pox vaccine. Verification of
immunization must be presented to the schools. “We prefer that kids get their shots before school starts so they won’t have to miss class,” said Don Best, Sevier County Schools health coordinator. “The deadline for verification is Oct. 1. They can go to their doctor or the Health Department to receive them.” Tetanus, also called “lockjaw,” is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers.

Jones in the Bridgemont Room of the Sevier County King Family Library on Thursday. The reception was to honor Jones as newly elected gegent for the Tennessee Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. “It is an adventure,” Jones said. “Serving as State Regent is something I never thought would happen to me.

achieving American independence. Her ancestors were residents in several states, including North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. They served between the fateful dates of April 29, 1775 (Battle of Lexington) and Nov. 26, 1783 (withdrawal of British Troops from New York).

sevieer county election totals
Cohen survives another race-focused campaign then-candidate Obama was a Muslim, was endorsed by the Club for Growth. “The people are tired of the politics as usual,� Fleischmann said. “They wanted someone who was a true political outsider.� After calling Fleischmann to concede, Smith thanked her supporters and told them to “stay involved — pray, pray.� Fleischmann faces Democrat John Wolfe in November. In the 6th District east of Nashville, Sen. Diane Black won by just over 360 votes in a race dominated by issues of illegal immigration and diversity. With all precincts reporting, Black had 24,604 votes, or 31 percent of the vote. Party activist and businesswoman Lou Ann Zelenik garnered 24,242 votes, or 30 percent, while state Sen. Tracy had 23,875 votes, or 29.7 percent. Tracy and Black boasted about their plans to stamp out illegal immigration, while Zelenik raised eyebrows when she said in June that plans to build a mosque in a Nashville suburb posed a threat to Tennessee’s moral and political foundation. In the Democratic primary, Iraq war veteran and lawyer Brett Carter edged Henry Barry and another veteran, Ben Leming. Carter had 9,052 votes or 30 percent. Barry had 8,820 votes or 29 percent while Leming had 8,705 votes, also 29 percent. Incumbent Democratic Rep. Bart Gordon is retiring, and Republicans are hoping to take the seat in the fall. In northwest Tennessee’s 8th District, Crockett County farmer and gospel performer Steve Fincher won the GOP primary, where campaign spending hit $5.2 million. With all precincts reporting, Fincher had 35,016 votes, or 49 percent of the vote. Jackson physician Ron Kirkland came in second with 17,638 votes, or 24 percent, while Memphis radiologist and broadcaster George Flinn had 17,309 votes, also 24 percent. Fincher’s rivals criticized him for collecting $3.2 million in farm subsidies. Flinn was targeted for living outside the district, while Kirkland was attacked for personal and political action committee donations to Democrats.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Democratic voters in Memphis rejected their former mayor’s race-focused campaign for Congress on Thursday, delivering a landslide to incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen. Willie Herenton had urged the majority black 9th District to elect him because he is African-American and could diversify Tennessee’s all-white, 11-member congressional delegation. Cohen, who is white and Jewish, got 63,343 votes, or 79 percent, to Willie Herenton’s 17,128, or 21 percent according to final but unofficial results. In other closely watched Republican congressional campaigns, a former state GOP chairwoman narrowly lost, a state senator narrowly won and a gospel singer finished far ahead in the nation’s most expensive U.S. House race. Cohen said his victory sends a message that “Memphis is a city on the move and not a city of the past.� Herenton, the city’s first black mayor, had never before lost a campaign. He urged his supporters to back Cohen and at age 70 said he has no immediate plans to run for another office. “I’m the kind of guy that was always the winner. For whatever reason, it was not part of God’s master plan,� Herenton said. Herenton’s campaign message ranged from making the case that “diverse people ought to have representation� to chiding voters to “come off that Cohen plantation and get on the Herenton freedom train.� In southeast Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District, Chattanooga attorney Chuck Fleischmann prevailed over former state Republican Party leader Robin Smith. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Fleischmann had 26,860 votes, or 30 percent, to Smith’s 25,451, or 28 percent. The seat was open because incumbent Zach Wamp ran for governor. Fleischmann won the endorsement of former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. He said Huckabee called to congratulate him Thursday night. Smith, whose term as GOP leader saw the party take control of the Legislature but also be criticized for 2008 literature that implied

he said after Thursday’s primary that he was not ready to concede. His campaign counsel issued a statement Friday that said “several outstanding questions ... need to be addressed in the coming days.� Besides processing the provisional ballots, the counsel said there are some issues surrounding the count of absentee ballots. Because of an apparent power failure, the absentee ballots were not counted by machine, as is the standard practice, but hand counted, the counsel said. “The original count of the absentee ballots that was provided to the campaign
was 128 votes for Sen. Henry and 82 votes for Yarbro, which would have resulted in an 18-vote margin in Yarbro’s favor in the unofficial count,� the statement said. “Subsequently, the count of absentee ballots that was delivered to the Election Commission was 148 votes for Sen. Henry and 82 votes for Yarbro, which resulted in a two-vote margin in Sen. Henry’s favor in the unofficial count.� Blake Fontenay with the Secretary of State’s office said he’s unsure when the matter will be resolved, but he said his office will play a part in determining the eligibility of the ballots.

84-year-old Henry holds 2-vote lead in District 21 NASHVILLE (AP) — State Sen. Douglas Henry said Friday that he’s cautiously optimistic that his two-vote lead in the 21st District race will hold up once provisional ballots are counted. With all precincts reporting, the Nashville Democrat had 5,641 votes while challenger Jeff Yarbro had 5,639 votes. Henry told The Associated Press on Friday that he has “reasonable belief that the lead will hold up, but I’m not counting on it.� “You can’t be confident you’re going to prevail when you’ve got a two-vote lead and more ballots to be counted,� he said. Henry, 84, was first elected to the seat in 1970 and previously served a single term in the state House beginning in 1955. He was the chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee until Republicans took control of the upper chamber in 2007. Yarbro, a 33-year-old Nashville attorney, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday. But

Judge’s personal life debated after gay ruling SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker has always been characterized as a conservative with libertarian leanings. But after he struck down California’s voterapproved gay marriage ban this week, he was accused by some of being something else entirely: a gay activist. Rumors have circulated for months that Walker is gay, fueled by the blogosphere and a San Francisco Chronicle column that stated his sexual orientation was an “open secret” in legal and gay activism circles. Walker himself hasn’t addressed the speculation, and he did not respond to a request for comment by The Associated Press on Thursday. Lawyers in the case, including those defending the ban, say the judge’s sexuality — gay or straight — was not an issue at trial, and they have no definitive plans for it to be a factor on appeal. But that hasn’t stopped a public debate that exploded in the wake of the 66-year-old jurist’s Wednesday decision.

Political smackdown
Locally Owned and Operated
www.budgetblinds.com
STAMFORD, Conn. — Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, says his wife’s political opponents are taking unfair shots at his company using out-of-context footage — such as old images of a wrestler committing necrophilia or McMahon demanding that a scantily clad female wrestler bark like a dog — as part of an attempt to discredit her U.S. Senate candidacy. In an interview with The Associated Press, Vince McMahon said the wrestling empire’s detractors have left out the “soap opera elements” leading up to those moments. Also, he said credit hasn’t been given to the Stamfordbased company’s efforts over the years to evolve, step up drug testing and improve its health and wellness program for the wrestlers. “Most of the people have not even seen our show. They don’t even know what this business is about,” McMahon said Thursday during an interview in his corporate boardroom. “They haven’t been to a live event. They really haven’t watched on television at all. All they’ve seen is like one little snippet and try to make up their minds as to whether or not it’s acceptable programming.” McMahon, known by WWE fans as the character “Mr. McMahon,” the villainous, multi-millionaire owner, has kept out of the limelight for much of his wife’s political campaign. But their company, where Linda McMahon was CEO until last fall when she began running for the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd, has been an irresistible issue for her Democratic and Republican foes in the 2010 Senate race. Vince McMahon, who said he didn’t want to talk about politics other than to say he’s voting for his wife, said he understood the WWE would be criticized in the campaign, but said he didn’t realize the extent. The attacks have become so distorted, he said, that he feels compelled to break his silence and defend the company. “Linda’s background is helping build the business, yeah. But we’re talking about the business today and the way we’re being presented today, it’s like, unfair,” he said. “So, let us get our side of the story.” Linda McMahon’s
detractors argue it is fair game to criticize the WWE, past and present, given that she is selling herself to voters as a successful businesswoman who tamed the wrestling industry. The state Democrats have strung together old clips for various Internet ads, as well as for a group they’ve helped organize, Mothers Against McMahon. Meanwhile, one of Linda McMahon’s opponents in the Aug. 10 primary is using an old clip of her pretending to kick a man in the groin. “Linda McMahon is campaigning on her record as WWE CEO, which includes putting her profits first, compromising the health and safety of her workers and presiding over rampant steroid and illegal drug abuse.” said Kate Hansen, spokeswoman for the Connecticut Democrats. In response to Hansen’s comments, WWE said in a statement, “No company could compromise the health and safety of its workers, much less engage in any illegal activity and be a profitable, public company ... . Anyone who portrays WWE otherwise is uniformed and uneducated about WWE and its business.” Vince McMahon argues much has changed at the wrestling company. For example, two years ago, all of the WWE’s programming was rated PG. Crosspromotions with Playboy Magazine, for example, where WWE Divas would be prominently featured, were stopped several years ago. He said the language has been toned down, the writing has improved and the use of sexuality has been scaled back. In 2001, McMahon appeared on stage, forcing WWE wrestler Trish Stratus to get on her knees
and bark like a dog. He acknowledges WWE received complaints from viewers after a now infamous scene featuring a wrestler simulating sex with a corpse in a casket was shown in 2002. It’s a favorite for Linda McMahon’s critics. “If you knew the story line behind it, what have you, you might even consider that black humor, you know, dark humor, which is what it was designed to be,” Vince McMahon said. “The question is, is taste — whether or not things like that are in good taste.” “Guess what? We never did it again,” he added. That doesn’t satisfy Hansen. “There is no context in which sex with corpses and abusing and degrading women can be considered acceptable, and there’s no circumstance where marketing this content to kids can be considered anything other than irresponsible — that’s what Connecticut voters will have to consider when they choose their next U.S. senator,” Hansen said. WWE countered in its statement that it markets to all ages; 77 percent of its viewers are 18 and older. Each week, 16 million people watch WWE programming. The company also says that its critics are focusing on ”minutes of footage of questionable taste from the tens of thousands of hours of programming.” Treatment of wrestlers and steroid usage is another criticism. WWE acknowledges five wrestlers under contract have died over the years, under various circumstances. As with the WWE programming, Vince McMahon said how drugs and wrestlers’ health have been addressed have also changed, such as prohibit-
ing the use of drugs other than for legal, medical purposes, and concussion management. “When you look at our wellness program now, it’s extraordinary, compared to anything else that’s out there. It certainly blows away anything, if there is anything else, in entertainment,” Vince McMahon said. “That’s what we evolved to,” he said. “I think I can be criticized, the company can be criticized at any time for any thing, with hindsight being 20-20.”

Morgan elected Tennessee chancellor NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Board of Regents on Friday elected Dep. Gov. John Morgan as the next chancellor for the board system just as a request was made to expand the search for more candidates. The decision came a day after the chairman of the state Senate Education Committee asked the board for a larger search. A search committee had earlier recommended Morgan to the full board to replace Chancellor Charles Manning, who is retiring at the end of the year.
Gov. Phil Bredesen said in a statement that Morgan was the right person to take the reins. “He played an integral role in crafting the reforms passed earlier this year that spell out a clear vision for howTennesseewillimprove its systems of higher education,” Bredesen said. But Sen. Delores Gresham said in letter sent to the board the search should go beyond the one applicant under review and also criticized the lower degree requirement for applicants. According to Gresham,

the board only required applicants to have an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree, but the previous search requirements mandated applicants have a doctorate degree. “The action of the Board in this regards is such a major deviation from general practice that it would leave one to conclude that the requirements were rewritten to fill the position with an applicant already selected,” Gresham wrote. But TBR Vice Chair Bob Thomas said in a statement that he was pleased they were able to attract Morgan

to the board. “He has the stature and reputation to be a strong and effective leader for our system as we move to implement the Complete College Act of 2010,” he said. The act includes changes to the state’s higher education funding formula to emphasize graduation rates instead of enrollment numbers, and creation of a statewide transfer policy so any student who earns a two-year degree at a community college can move on to a four-year university as a junior.

commentary
three cheers Smoky Mountain Nazarene like The Little Engine That Could
Letterman shows panic on the left
David Letterman is a liberal kind of guy, and like many on the left, old Dave is kind of frustrated these days. A new Gallup poll has President Obama’s job approval rating at just 41 percent, with 53 percent disapproving. Those are the lowest numbers Gallup has posted since Obama was inaugurated more than a year and a half ago. So Dave is seeking answers to the president’s diminishing popularity, and that kind of conversation usually involves the Fox News Channel, which is considered by the left to be all anti-Obama, all the time. Since I work at FNC, I dispute that perception. But there is no doubt that Fox News is the most skeptical TV news organization when it comes to analyzing the president. Consider this: If Obama was being worked over the way President Bush was by the establishment media, his job approval rating would probably be in the 20 percent range. Remember the brutal media beating Bush took? Today, the mainstream press is largely neutral or positive on Obama, even as many Americans are having doubts about him. But let’s get back to Letterman. Speaking with far-left MSNBC News commentator Rachel Maddow on his program, Dave listened as she put forth the preposterous theory that Fox News wants to frighten white Americans by reporting negatively about black Americans. “Scaring white people is good politics on the conservative side of the spectrum, and it always has been. The idea is that you sort of rile up the white base to be afraid of an other, to be afraid of scary immigrants or scary black people...” In the past, paranoid, dishonest rants like that would have been dismissed as fringe speak. But not anymore. Without a shred of evidence, a guest on Letterman’s “Late Show” (which by the way gets trounced in the ratings by FNC every night) defines an entire news organization as a racist enterprise. And Letterman goes along with the program, adding: “These people are continuing to fan this flame and ... that is cancer.” Please. The only people Fox News is scaring are far-left loons who see their shining city on the hill on fire. For 18 months, the United States has been governed from the left, and things are not going well. I’m sorry if this analysis frightens some folks, but when you spend a half-trillion dollars trying to stimulate the economy and you create just 600,000 jobs, well, people are going to notice. When the war in Afghanistan turns chaotic, Americans are not going to be pleased. When the nation’s debt is increased by more than a trillion dollars a year because of record spending, folks are going to get a bit nervous. So, in order to counter those realities, the far left must divert attention from them. Thus, the scary black people deal. In reply, here’s a Top 1 list for Letterman and his uber-liberal guest: The American people don’t need to be “riled” up by phony race baiting. They are already riled up by reality. And the polls prove it.

In many ways, the First Smoky Mountain Church of the Nazarene is a lot like The Little Engine That Could. The Little Engine That Could must pull a long train over a high mountain. Various other larger trains have been asked to pull the train but for one reason or another they refuse, so The Little Engine That Could is left to shoulder the load. Huffing and puffing and repeating its mantra, “I think I can, I think I can,” it gets the job done. First Smoky Mountain Church of the Nazarene on Upper Middle Creek Road, is pastored by Owen Wetzel, has a fulltime membership of about a dozen, and weekly of attendance of about 25. Last weekend, the church held a yard sale to raise money and let the community get to know it. This church’s purpose is the same as, say, Joel Osteen’s, whose membership is many thousands. “We lost three members last year due to the economy — but you can’t deter us,” says Wetzel. “A church is only a body of believers.” And this is a little church that thinks it can.
Organizations reach out to More and more people make kids needing school supplies city ‘vacation destination’ The opening of school is only nine days away and many families across the county already have their supplies. Their kids have new clothes, shoes, pencils, spiral notebooks, rulers, calculators and the like. Unfortunately, not all families have the money to buy even the basics needed. Thankfully, there are several organizations willing to step up to the plate. Among them, Sevier County’s Promise and the Salvation Army are partnering on a school supply drive that will last through Monday; and The Lord’s Child is holding a drive that lasts all weekend. Items needed have been published in the paper or more information can be obtained by calling 428-7999 (Promise) or 774-3332 (Lord’s Child). Items for the Promise/Salvation Army drive can be dropped off at any Sevier County public library branch, all branches of Tennessee State Bank, Sevier County Bank, Home Federal Bank and Citizens National Bank. Lord’s Child items can be dropped off at Starusburg Children of Sevierville in Tanger Five Oaks Outlet. The drives are being held at the same time as the state sales tax holiday. It’s a perfect time to give.
At a time when economic news isn’t exactly rosy across the country, the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce is reporting some encouraging data. Earlier this week, the Chamber reported that, according to results from an Estimated Overnight Visitor Count, some two million folks stayed overnight in Sevierville last year. Consider that in 2006, Sevierville had an estimated 1.7 overnight visitors. That’s an increase of 100,000 per year. Pretty impressive, ’ey? “It’s shown strong numbers,” said Chamber Marketing Director Amanda Maples Marr. “ The numbers really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Sevierville is giving Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg more of a run for their money with The Wilderness and Sevierville Events Center being added to other attractions, the Bloomin’ Barbecue and Bluegrass Festival, some of the best outlet shopping anywhere and a bevy of great restaurants. Add to that, as Marr points out, the “great hometown atmosphere” and is only makes sense why more and more people are making Sevierville their vacation destination.

PREP FOOTBALL
Scrimmage with Powell shows Eagles need work By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR – After looking like a crisp, well-oiled machine last Friday in scrimmages with Science Hill and Campbell County, the Seymour Eagles gridiron squad looked like a rusty, unreliable jalopy yesterday against Powell. “Defensively that’s a bad as we’ve looked in a long time,” coach Jim Moore said after the Panther offensive ran wild, scoring multiple 50-plus yard touchdowns in the two-hour scrimmage. “And offense you had one play good and four plays backwards,” Moore added. “You can’t do that. You’ve got to be consistent, and that’s where we were last Friday, but we didn’t finish
up that way (today).” Murphy Fair preseason all-state tailback Dashawn Mobley repeatedly punished the Seymour defense, bolting for yard after yard and score after score. Powell QB Dustin McPhetridge also had a great scrimmage against the Eagles, running for a 50-yard TD scamper on an option keeper and firing multiple TDs through the air. The Eagles offense finally found paydirt late in the scrimmage when running back Taylor Overton ran around left end for an 80-yard score. Overton scored again later in the scrimmage on a short run. While the Eagles would like to forget most of the

were times out there when we had 10 sophomores on the field, and we know we’re going to be that way. “It’s not something that you go out and just chastise them over, but they’ve got to go out and go full speed.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

Bearacuda Robby Land dives into the water in a race at the Pigeon Forge Community Center’s outdoor pool in a meet earlier this season.
4 Bearacudas advance to finals KNOXVILLE — The Smoky Mountain Bearacudas — a swim team comprised of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge community center athletes — took 25 team members to Knoxville this past weekend for the Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swimming Association City Championship Meet, the final competition for the 2010 team. Of the 25 local swimmers, four of them were able to advance to the Sunday meet finals, including Robby Land, Grant Soehn, Lindsey Myers and Allison Anger. Anger placed 12th in the 8U girls’ 100 individual medley with a time of
1:52.93, and she also finished 14th in the 25 fly with a time of 24.47. Myers placed eighth in the 9-10 girls’ 100 freestyle with a time of 1:06.05, and she finished the 50 fly with a time of 33.51. Soehn placed 10th in the 13-14 boys’ 200 IM with a time of 2:29.03, 12th in 50 backstroke with a time of 30.70, and 12th in 50 fly with a time of 28.74. Land placed 12th in the 15-18 boys’ 50 freestyle with a time of 23.27, 13th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 51.21, and 14th in the 50 fly with a time of 25.46. On Friday, swimmers age 11 through 18 competed, and the top 16 times in each
event went on to the Sunday finals. On Saturday, swimmers age five through 10 competed to determine the top 16 in each event, also to move on to Sunday’s finals. Besides the four Bearacuda finalists, Quanah Allen, Kurt Cantrell, Kelsie Myers, Cierra Northcote, Garrett Soehn, Abigail Anger, Nick Britton, Eli Baker, Gracie Byxbe, Liberty Wood, Jolie-Blue Smith, Alex Mays, Erin Mays, Claire Jenkins, Rachel Jenkins, Lauren Jenkins, Sebatian Lewis, Tristan Lewis, Will Trout and Maddie Trout all represented the local squad at the meet.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The first place Tennessee Smokies rallied for six runs in the top of the seventh inning and saw an offensive outburst from first baseman Matt Spencer to push past the Montgomery Biscuits with an 11-3 victory on Thursday night at Riverwalk Stadium. Spencer homered twice for Tennessee, hitting a grand slam in the seventh and a three-run homer in the ninth to help Tennessee force a rubber match in tomorrow’s finale of the five-game series at Montgomery. With the win, the Smokies remain on top of the second half North Division standings. The two homers gives Spencer, who is nicknamed the “Morristown Masher,” at 15 bombs in 2010, and he went 3-5 in the game with seven runs batted in. The seven runs batted in are tied for the most runs driven in during a single game in the 2010 Smokies season. Tennessee starter Chris Archer won his sixth game in his seventh start with the Smokies. Archer pitched six innings while giving up two runs (one earned) on five hits. He did walk five batters in the game, but also struck out five on the night he improved to 6-1 in a Tennessee uniform. The Biscuits scored a run in the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. The Smokies responded

An inning later in the fourth, a wild pitch by pitcher Alex Cobb scored Brandon Guyer to tie the game at two. Tennessee scored a pair of runs in the top of the seventh to break the deadlock. Tony Campana brought in the go-ahead run with an RBI double that scored Jonathan Mota to put Tennessee ahead 3-2. Brett Jackson continued the scoring with an RBI single to put the Smokies ahead
by two runs at 4-2. Spencer continued the scoring onslaught in grand fashion with a grand slam homer to break the game open at 8-2. The grand slam was Tennessee’s fourth of the season. The Biscuits added a run in the eighth off Smokies reliever Jeremy Papelbon to put the score at 8-3. Spencer struck again in the top of the ninth inning with a three-run homer to further add to the Tennessee lead, with the homer putting Tennessee on top 11-3.
PREP GRIDIRON
Injury prone G-P takes Cumberland Gap down 6-2 in scrimmage By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — Despite missing six key players entering Thursday night’s home scrimmage — and adding a seventh and eighth to the Blue-and-Gold walking wounded list during the affair — the GatlinburgPittman Highlanders football team took it to former Watauga Conference rival Cumberland Gap Panthers 6-2 in G-P’s second tussle against another team this preseason. “We had six starters out
with injuries and sickness,” said 39th-year G-P coach Benny Hammonds in a Friday phone interview, moments after drying off from the annual eight-mile whitewater rafting trip down the Nantahala River with his football team. “And we ended up losing another one (during the scrimmage). “It was nice to win, but we’ve got to get some people healthy and get them back onto the field. That’s a big issue for our team right now.” Rising senior Turner Merritt, who recently
switched positions from tight end to offensive line to help the team an guarantee more playing time, ended up leaving the game with what appeared to be a somewhat serious knee injury. The Highlanders hope to hear good news by next week, but they’re bracing themselves for a possible long-term loss of Merritt. “I hope, because it’s his senior year and as hard as he’s worked, I hope he can get back,” said Hammonds. The starters missing prior to Thursday’s contest were RB Dillon Reagan (ribs), line-
man Bill Huskey (health), TE Ryan Taylor (out of town), FB D.J. Ball (foot), RB Terry Phillips (foot) and lineman Mahavir Patel (health). But once again this preseason, rising senior WR Ron Durbin helped shore up the G-P squad by leading the Highlanders offensive attack with three touchdown grabs from fellow rising senior QB Tye Marshall. Durbin’s scores came on two well-thrown bombs from Marshall, along with one 12-yard dart, despite a lingering sore wrist. And with Reagan out,
newcoming Alabama transfer student RB Walter Barber got extra opportunity to show what he’s got, which he did with two nifty TD runs. “Both of Walter’s (TD) runs were long,” said Hammonds. “Walter was better Thursday than he was in our first scrimmage, and if he can keep doing that ... he’s just really got a bundle of talent. “Walter is really a skilled athlete, and a lot of it hasn’t been tapped yet. He’s a big grease horse, so to speak. He’s got a lot of potential
..., and I think he’ll get better and better from game to game.” But with the injury bug out and biting, even Barber’s night was cut short by an aggravated groin that the coaching staff did not want to risk to a more serious injury. The Blue-and-Gold defense wasn’t about to be outdone by their offensive counterparts, and rising junior Hunter Meier put up the team’s sixth score on the board with a pick-six. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Matchpoint V-ball Camp
By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer AKRON, Ohio — Things got so bad for Tiger Woods off the tee in Friday’s second round of the Bridgestone Invitational that he had to supply his own soundtrack. “Get in the hole!� he sneered under his breath at an errant iron shot into the par-3 seventh hole, repeating the cliched phrase so often yelled by the loudest of his fans. Woods followed up his worst round ever at Firestone Country Club, a 4-over 74 on Thursday, by matching his second-worst round, a 72. When he left the course, the seven-time winner of the Bridgestone stood 13 shots off the lead — but just two shots out of last place in the 81-player field. In his 261 PGA Tour starts, he has played the first 36 holes worse in only four tournaments. It wasn’t just bad scores, however. The biggest problem is that Woods has almost no idea where his ball is going off the tee. He hit only three of 14 fairways in the second round. A closer look shows he hit seven tee shots into the right rough — sometimes far, far to the right — and three other times he pounded the ball into the

He bolted after his round, walking away from reporters after signing his scorecard and then hustling to his waiting luxury SUV. But on Wednesday, he was asked about his driving. “Of late I’ve been driving
the ball so much better,� he said. He did not back that up on the course. His play speaks volumes about where he is just a week before the final major of the year, the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Woods came into the Bridgestone ranked ninth in the U.S. Ryder standings, with the top eight assured of spots on the team. He repeatedly said during a pretournament interview that he intended to play his way on, instead of forcing American captain Corey Pavin to select him with one of his discretionary picks. But Woods is not showing that his game is in shape with just 10 days remaining until those eight automatic qualifiers for the U.S. side are finalized. Woods hit his first drive of the day (on the 10th hole) far to the right and ended up bogeying. On the next tee, he slashed the ball far to the left, scattering the gallery, but ended up making a par. After walking off the second tee, he turned back to playing partner Lee Westwood, who was also spraying the ball off the tee, and said, “So how are we doing so far?� Both laughed. Woods didn’t hit a drive into the fairway until his
eighth hole, about the same time a fan yelled, “Welcome back, Tiger, to your home away from home.� On the next hole, he drove directly behind a large fir tree. He whacked a 3 iron off the low-hanging branches, the ball going across the fairway and hitting another tree there. He then chipped 12 feet past the hole and missed the par putt. It was like that all day long, with Woods finding trouble repeatedly. Woods, ranked No. 1 in the world for the past 269 weeks, was paired the first two days with Westwood, who is No. 3. Both of them hacked up the course in the second round, with Westwood shooting a 76 to stand at 147, a shot behind Woods. “Neither of us played very well, did we?� said Westwood, who is battling an injured right calf that caused him to withdraw from the remainder of the Bridgestone and next week’s PGA. “We’re all human. We all have bad days.� The two did talk to each other or their caddies from time to time. There was an occasional smile. “What can you do? Cry?� Westwood said with a laugh. “You try and pass the time as fast as possible.�
SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Cats’ Hartline faces challenge to keep QB job By JEFFREY McMURRAY Associated Press Writer LEXINGTON, Ky. — Mike Hartline’s name is atop the Kentucky quarterback depth chart for the third straight preseason. But while the job is more familiar to him now than ever, his hold on it appears more tenuous. The last two seasons, Hartline has essentially entered August camp as the undisputed starter. In 2008, his rival Curtis Pulley was surprisingly kicked off the team just as camp was getting under way. Last year, Hartline was unchallenged for the No. 1 job at the beginning of the year as a bowlwinning quarterback being pushed only by two inexperienced albeit immensely talented freshmen. But things are different for the Wildcats’ signal caller this year, and Hartline knows it. At the team’s media day on Friday, his new head coach Joker Phillips suggested he’s only penciling in Hartline’s name as the team’s top quarterback as the Wildcats open their August practices. “He’ll start off as the starter, yes,� Phillips said. “I shouldn’t say ’start.’ He’ll start off as the first guy that gets reps because somebody has to do it, and he’s been
The Matchpoint Volleyball Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Aug. 10 and 11, at Catlettsburg Elementary School.

around here the longest.� Not exactly the strongest vote of confidence, but Hartline says he wouldn’t expect anything less than a fierce battle for the job. “The coaches aren’t going to just give anyone a position regardless of who you are on the team,� he said. “If you don’t come out and practice and play hard, you’re not going to have that spot.� After starting the first five games last year, injuries kept Hartline out of seven of Kentucky’s last eight games — and he threw only six passes in the other. That forced freshman Morgan Newton into regular action earlier than expected. While Newton didn’t approach the lofty expectations from a high school career that turned him into a blue chip recruit, he improved noticeably as the season went on — including a three-touchdown performance in a critical victory at Georgia. Newton, who also started the Wildcats’ Music City Bowl loss against Clemson, figures one could argue he is as much the incumbent as Hartline. “I played the last game,� Newton said. “He really didn’t lose his position, kind of just got hurt. I guess it just depends on how you inter-
pret it.� And, don’t forget Ryan Mossakowski. Newton and Hartline certainly aren’t. Although he redshirted his freshman season while still recovering from shoulder surgery in high school, Mossakowski had eye-popping prep numbers — 7,433 yards and 51 touchdowns in Frisco, Texas — making him a strong candidate, too. Although either Hartline or Newton figures to be the favorite for the first snaps due to their collegiate experience, Phillips has given every indication that Mossakowski and perhaps even some true freshman will get a shot at the top job. “Everybody just knows,� Mossakowski said. “You really don’t need to say something. All three of us know we’re competing for the job. You just compete,
have fun and relax.� Phillips says it’s a nice problem to have and that he believes any of his primary candidates can win, even in the loaded Southeastern Conference. “We have two guys that have won games and led this football team, and we’ve got really, really talented freshmen that are just waiting to compete against those guys,� Phillips said. Even before Hartline got hurt, Newton saw limited action early in the year, and quarterback-turned-receiver Randall Cobb also lined up frequently under center in the wildcat package. Although there will still be some mixing and matching under Phillips, the quarterbacks say they expect one of them to win the job and pretty much keep it this season.

AP Sources: Vols interviewed by NCAA KNOXVILLE (AP) — The NCAA has interviewed several current and former Tennessee coaches and recruits regarding an investigation into possible recruiting violations, people with knowledge of the probe have told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. ESPN reported Friday that Tennessee expects to receive a letter of inquiry soon about possible violations under former coach Lane Kiffin and his staff. Tennessee self-reported six minor recruiting violations by Kiffin and his staff during their one-year tenure and in December acknowledged cooperating with an NCAA investigation into actions by the school’s Orange Pride athletics hostess program. The Volunteers have not reported any violations since Kiffin’s departure in January, however, and the interviews with coaches and recruits took place in the spring.
Vols DE Martin to miss much of 2010
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee starting defensive end Ben Martin is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2010 season after seriously injuring his Achilles’ tendon on the second day of the Volunteers’ fall camp. Coach Derek Dooley said Friday he wasn’t yet sure of how much time the senior would miss. Martin left Thursday’s practice on crutches. The five-star recruit out of Cincinnati started 11 games last season but has struggled with injuries throughout his career, especially with his knee. Martin has not taken a redshirt season and could still have another year of eligibility if he ends up sitting out the entire season. The Vols are especially deep at defensive end compared to the rest of the squad with the return of Chris Walker, Gerald Williams and Willie Bohannon, the addition of freshmen Jacques Smith and Corey Miller and the transfer of Malik Jackson from Southern California.
Shaq in search of new nickname
BOSTON (AP) — Now that he’s signed with the Boston Celtics, Shaquille O’Neal is looking for a nickname that will fit in with his new city. The Celtics’ website trumpeted the signing of “The Big Shamrock� this week, when O’Neal signed a deal that will reportedly pay him the veterans’ minimum over the next two seasons. O’Neal wrote on Twitter: “hello green town. ok what u got 4 nicknames?�

Father growing resentful of 20-year-old freeloading son
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: Our three sons, ages 14, 17 and 20, live with us. The problem is the 20-yearold. “Justin” couldn’t keep up the pace of home schooling and bailed out with a GED. This despite my wife’s correcting all of his work before submission. He now works two hours a day and feels that’s plenty. He gives us lots of lip and attitude and does nothing to help around the house. My wife refuses to charge him rent. She pays for his car, insurance and cell phone and provides all the meals. Justin’s girlfriend moved in for a while until I put an end to that. Plus, I made him stop filching beer from our refrigerator. My wife says I should calm down and go with the flow. I resent supporting this ungrateful freeloader. Worse, his younger brothers are starting to emulate him. How do I change this? -Father of Freddie the Freeloader Dear Father: There’s not much you can do if Mom insists on undermining your efforts to help your son grow up. The fact that he went for a GED may have been a disappointment to you, but give him credit for finishing his education. However, unless Justin has applied to college, he should have a fulltime job and be paying a portion of his salary in rent, preferably at his own place, but certainly at yours if that is where he lives. Try to impress upon your wife that bailing him out, paying for everything he needs and requiring nothing of him in return does him a huge disservice. Dear Annie: Eleven years ago, when my
daughter was 18, she agreed to have her stepmother adopt her. This removed me as the natural mother from her birth certificate. I cannot get over this unforgivable act. I never gave my child up. Every Mother’s Day and on her birthday, I cry buckets. I write her letters without mailing them as a way of dealing with the pain. What kind of child does this? Last year, I loaned this same daughter $4,000 because she couldn’t pay her mortgage. Of course, if I hadn’t loaned her the money, she would have blamed me for losing her house. But instead of using it for the mortgage, she spent the money on drugs. She recently filed for bankruptcy, and this loan was part of the paperwork. It brought back all the pain from the adoption. Who erases their mother the same way they erase a debt? I called her up and finally told her what I thought and said I was removing her from my will. I am OK with my decision. If she and the stepmother were to undo the adoption, I would forgive her, but not until then. I hope she sees this in print. -- Newport, Wash. Dear Newport: If your daughter is a drug addict and has been since she was 18, she is doing what is expedient and what allows her to get the drugs she is desperate for. We know this is terribly painful for you, and we hope someday your

daughter will see things differently. Meanwhile, please contact Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) at 1-800-736-9805 for additional assistance. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Want My Girls Home,” who resented that Grandma wanted the girls to spend a vacation with her. I have been taking my grandchildren and greatgrandchildren on trips for years, from as young as 7 to as old as 18. Not only do they keep me young, but we have a wonderful time getting to know one another. They all feel that they benefit from my wisdom and consider me very wise. Refreshing, isn’t it? Please tell her not to deprive her children of having wonderful adventures and stories to tell their own children someday from all the trips they looked forward to each summer. We’re leaving soon with two great-granddaughters, ages 10 and 13, to spend two weeks in Colorado river rafting, horseback riding, hiking and having lots of fun. -- Temple, Texas Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
