SEVIERVILLE —The Englewood, Tenn., man charged with taking improper pictures of minors at a Wilderness Resort water park has at least one prior conviction in Sevier County. David Ray Ridenour, 53, is now facing four charges of unlawful photography in violation of privacy. He was arrested on a single count of that charge in March. Police added three additional counts this week after further investigation. According to his arrest warrants,

police found that Ridenour had taken video clips of underage girls at the park on three previous occasions, dating back to September 2009. “The clips of the Ridenour unknown minors would be for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification,” the reports stated. The reports on the earlier incidents don’t state whether Ridenour was a guest of the park or not. On the final occasion in March,

the report states he did not enter the park legally. “He entered the water park without paying and he was not a guest of the resort,” the report stated. “Employees of the water park noticed him taking pictures of girls using his cell phone. When confronted, he left the water park and started walking north on Old Knoxville Highway.” He was arrested on that occasion and also charged with criminal trespass. Police have been investigating his actions since that time. Ridenour also has faced previous charges in Sevier County. Eight

years ago, he was arrested on public indecency and criminal trespassing charges filed by the Pigeon Forge police Department. The police report from that incident states he was at the River Chase Motel on June 4, 2002, when guests there noticed him touching himself “while he was watching young teenage girls swimming and playing in the pool.” One of the witnesses, a vacationing police officer, had told Ridenour he knew what Ridenour was doing and he should leave the pool.

Sevierville Intermediate School math teacher Jerry Cox asks fellow teachers their current method of teaching during a workshop Friday.

Educators sharpen math teaching skills By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Their students don’t start class until Monday, but many Sevier County teachers attended Mathematics Curriculum Standards Training classes at Sevierville Intermediate School, New Center Elementary School and other locations on Friday morning. There were 13 teachers instructed by SIS teachers Jerry Cox and Jessica Hodges, who were trained in Knoxville to come back and share their new knowledge with colleagues. “These new standards are challenging, but they’re meant to be challenging,” said Cox, who teaches fourth grade. Cox discussed “Building Capacity with Standard Based Tools” with his fellow teachers, which included the following: Know your standards; emphasize the process standards in teaching; use rich lessons as often as possible; seek rich lessons, but also enrich current lessons by adapting to real life examples and building in complexity and negativity; and review

We want to have students who not only know a lot but have a higher level of thinking.” Hodges, a fifth-grade teacher, presented the various features of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Web site at www.stemre-

sources.com that teachers could use in class. “This Web site is going to be a huge help for us,” she said. “Anything we can use in the classroom immediately is valuable to us,” agreed Larissa McMahan, an SIS third-grade teacher. “There’s so much stuff out there, so when we can narrow it down, it helps with instruction.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — Work to bring a new movie theater has fallen about a month behind schedule, with opening of the facility at Waldens Landing now set for Oct. 1. Ned Vickers, who manages the property for development firm Holrob Investments, says the effort has been delayed by what he calls “normal construction issues,” but he feels confident the property will be operating during the tourism-heavy month of October. “Certainly I’m disappointed anytime there is a delay like this, but it’s not like we’re missing opening in July or something,” Vickers says. “September is not a great month if you look at the county’s tourism numbers. It’s also not a great release month for movies. If we had planned to open on Memorial Day weekend and missed the whole summer or something, that would really disappoint me.” Still, Vickers says he knows plenty of local folks will See Theater, Page A4

Troopers on alert in school zones Submitted Report NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Highway Patrol is gearing up for the school year with a heightened enforcement campaign to keep children safe in and around school zones. Cracking down on motorists who disregard laws designed to protect children and monitoring school zones and bus stops are just a few components of the enforcement effort. “As thousands of students return to the classroom on foot or in school buses, we want to remind everyone to be extra cautious around school zones,� said Department of Safety Commissioner Dave Mitchell. “The goal of the Tennessee Highway Patrol is to help local law enforcement and schools protect chil-

dren from drivers who may be distracted, impatient or careless.� State troopers are urging motorists to be alert, slow down and be careful in school zones, while also encouraging caregivers to educate children on safety measures when walking, biking or riding the bus to school. Motorists should be aware that the speed limit is 15 mph in school zones and the fine for speeding in a school zone is up to $500 dollars. It is also against the law to pass a school bus when it is stopped and loading or unloading passengers. The driver can be fined no less than $250 and up to $1,000. “Motorists can expect stiff penalties for driving unsafely in school zones and for placing our children at risk while doing so,� said THP Colonel

Mike Walker. “But there is no punishment more severe than the lifelong guilt and remorse for hitting or killing a child. We are asking everyone to do their part to help a Tennessee child make it to school and home safely.� In 2009, State Troopers issued 5,445 citations in school zones. Of those citations, 973 were speeding violations, while one citation was handed out for passing a stopped school bus. Since 2006, there has been a 15.9 percent decrease in the number of crashes occurring in school zones between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and the hours of 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. There was also a 13.5 percent decline in the number of school bus-related crashes between those same hours.

AT&T donates $5,000 to local Boys & Girls Club Submitted Report PIGEON FORGE — AT&T has made a $5,000 corporate contribution to the Pigeon Forge Boys & Girls Club as part of a $105,000 AT&T gift to support Project Learn in 21 clubs across the state. Project Learn features a program that provides supplemental learning activities. Alan Hill, regional director of external affairs, AT&T Tennessee, presented the donation to Boys & Girls Club officials during a ceremony at the Board of Directors meeting. “Supporting the Project Learn program at the Pigeon Forge Boys & Girls Club continues our efforts to help young people become better prepared for the future,� said Hill. “These students are tomorrow’s leaders. AT&T understands the importance of supporting programs like Project Learn in order to provide youth with skills needed to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce.� Project Learn reinforces and enhances the skills and knowledge young people learn at school through “high-yield� learning activities, including leisure reading, writing activities, homework help and games that develop and strengthen cognitive skills.

“The Pigeon Forge Boys & Girls Club appreciates AT&T’s continued commitment to education initiatives like Project Learn,� said Executive Director Mark Ross. “There is a direct return on investment for the business community when this type of training is provided to these young people.� “Businesses and nonprofit organizations reap benefits through these partnerships,� said State Sen. Doug Overbey. “Not only do Tennessee children benefit, but the state’s workforce is greatly enhanced when we identify the relationship between business investment and educational initiatives.� “Investment in pro-

grams like Project Learn brings success for our youth and ultimately Tennessee,� said Billy Carroll, president and CEO of SmartBank and Boys & Girls Club board member. “We need more companies throughout the state to follow AT&T’s commitment to education,� said Rep. Richard Montgomery. “AT&T’s investment in programs like Project Learn will strengthen Tennessee’s future economy and workforce.� Project Learn emphasizes collaborations among Boys & Girls Club staff, parents and school personnel, and focuses on the skills young people develop both at the club and in the home.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Bored on a hot summer day, three Florida youngsters were just sitting around when one sent a text message to another with an adventurous idea. “Hey do you want to go 2 Tennessee today,� the message read. “Sure,� the other responded. Not even old enough to get a driver’s license, they took a taxi to the airport Tuesday, bought tickets with baby-sitting money and — unbeknownst to their parents, the three (ages 15, 13 and 11) — boarded a Southwest Airlines flight from Jacksonville to Nashville, according to a TV news account of the incident. Nobody asked a question. Nobody asked for identification. Not the taxi driver. Not the ticket counter. Not security officials or flight attendants or other passengers. So when they landed in Nashville with just $40 left and their destination, Dollywood, still hundreds of miles away, they finally called home. The jig was up. “I just wanted to fly,� 15-year-old Bridget Brown, told WJXX-TV in Jacksonville. “I had the money.� Now their parents are wondering how the trip was possible. Southwest Airlines said in a statement that the com-

pany’s policy on minors is similar to other carriers in that it covers children ages 5 through 11 traveling alone, and that the 11-year-old in this case was accompanied by two older companions. The Transportation Security Administration does not require anyone under age 18 to show identification, but all bags are still screened. It is still unclear if any of the three should have been allowed to purchase tickets. A Southwest spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment on that issue. Messages left by The Associated Press on Friday at the families’ homes were not immediately returned. In an age of heightened security and terrorism threats, some are concerned that three youngsters could

so easily board an airline without parental consent. Richard Bloom, an aviation security expert at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., said while this incident amounted to a childhood jaunt, it highlights legitimate safety implications. “The moral of the story is, at least in other parts of the world, young people are engaged in weapons, planting bombs, testing security,� he said. “The point is terrorist groups, insurgent groups, other kinds of transnational groups, what have you, they read the papers, they watch TV, they look at the security lapses. And they take that information as they develop their own terrorist operations and anti-government operations.�

Ridenour allegedly tried to drive away, but was arrested by Pigeon Forge police a short time later. The record shows he gave a Sevierville address at that time. Court records show he pleaded guilty to the trespassing charge and the court accepted an “advisement� on the public indecency charge, meaning he could have had it erased from his recorded after six months as long as he didn’t face any additional charges during that time. Court officials said it appeared he met the requirements, but never followed up by having the charge removed from his record.

feel let down to know the Sept. 1 date he originally announced is being moved back. “Everywhere I go in the county I get questions about the theater,� he says. That may be because, despite countless promises to the contrary, this is the first time there has been real work on building a new moviehouse in Sevier County in decades. Holrob, working in conjunction with Phoenix Big Cinemas, is building a fivescreen facility in a back corner of the Parkway shopping center to be named Forge Theaters. At a press conference earlier this summer, Phoenix President and CEO Phil Zacheretti announced the cinema will be one of only a handful across the country that not only has all-digital projection and sound, but has 3-D capabilities in every theater. The multiplex will also feature stadium seating and other touches that will make it “state-of-the-art,� Zacheretti said. The $3.5 million construction project is putting a new face on part of the Waldens Landing shopping center, with the cinema’s facade already filling the space once occupied by empty storefronts after several tenants left the complex. It’s intended to address that problem of

been burglarized recently should contact their respective law enforcement agency for information. Rural residents should contact Detective Matthew Cubberley at 4534668; city of Sevierville residents should contact Detective Sam Hinson at 868-1751.

Wilderness in the Smokies spokesman Rick Laney said employees called authorities as soon as they learned there were complaints about Ridenour during the March incident where he was arrested. Ordinarily, people who aren’t guests of the resort can’t use the water park, although it does occasionally have days where local people can enjoy the park without getting a room. It wasn’t clear if Ridenour had obtained a room on the other occasions. Laney said that the resort has several security measures in place, including some aimed at catching people looking to exploit minors in the same way as Ridenour is accused of doing. “We have an unbelievable security system here,� he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

high-turnover among the merchants by bringing in hundreds of thousands of new visitors and potential shoppers. In addition to the 632seat theater, the complex was also given a shot in the arm recently with the introduction of a Five Guys Burgers & Fries restaurant on the side closest to the Parkway. Surprisingly, when the Holrob folks researched the possibility of building a theater in Pigeon Forge, their information showed it will likely actually be the locals, not the tourists, who take advantage of the new screens. “It showed 225,000 tickets (sold) a year and 85 percent of those are locals,� Vickers says. “The industry standard is one screen per 10,000 residents. I think when the new census information comes out, it will show Sevier County with 85,000 residents. So, we felt like the county was underscreened as it was.� When the construction is nearing completion, Phoenix is set to hold a job fair in which they’ll offer applications and information on the 30 or 40 positions, mostly part time but some as high up as management, expected to open along with the theater.

In a sluggish economic summer, no easy fix ahead By JEANNINE AVERSA AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has little power left to lift the economy out of its rut. Congress, with an election looming, has no appetite for more stimulus. Shoppers are reluctant to spend, and businesses are slow to hire. Let’s face it: There is no easy or imminent fix for the flagging recovery. The sluggish economic summer wore on Friday with news that Americans spent less at most retail stores in July. Earlier this month came word that the trade deficit is ballooning and companies are not adding jobs fast enough to bring down unemployment. Typically, the Fed can lower interest rates to encourage Americans to borrow money and spend it, invigorating the economy. But the benchmark interest rate controlled by the Fed has been almost zero for more than a year now. The Fed this week took a new step by announcing it would use the proceeds from its huge portfolio of mortgage securities to buy government debt. The idea is to make cheap credit a little cheaper,

particularly for things like mortgages. The problem there: Americans who are worried about their jobs, not to mention volatility in the stock market, don’t want to borrow. They saved 6.2 percent of their disposable income this spring. Before the recession, it was more like 1.2 percent. “You can’t force people to take out a loan or spend money that they don’t want to spend,� says Alice Rivlin, who served as the Fed’s No. 2 official in the late 1990s. Sure, the Fed still has options. It could launch another trillion-plus-dollar program to buy government debt or mortgage securities like it did when it was battling the recession and financial crisis. But the Fed is unlikely to commit that much money unless things get a lot worse. Plus there are risks. Regulators don’t want to push interest rates on mortgages so low that they encourage speculative buying, like the kind that inflated the housing bubble. Or the Fed could cut to zero the rate it pays banks to keep money parked there, a move aimed at getting banks to lend more. But banks are not exactly feeling free with their cash, either.

NEW ORLEANS — BP’s broken oil well is not dead yet. The government’s point man on the crisis said Friday that the blownout well is not securely plugged to his satisfaction and that the drilling of the relief well — long regarded as the only way to ensure that the hole at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico never leaks oil again — must go forward. “The relief well will be finished,� said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. “We will kill the well.� Work on the relief well was suspended earlier this week because of bad weather. Allen did not say when it would resume, but

when the order comes, it could take four days to get the operation up and running again. From there, it could be only a matter of days before the “bottom kill� is done and the blown-out well that wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast economy and environment is no longer a threat. Last week, BP plugged up the ruptured oil well from the top with mud and cement, and for a while, it appeared that the relief well that BP has been drilling 2 1/2 miles under the sea all summer long in an effort to seal up the leak from the bottom might not be necessary after all. But Allen dashed those hopes after scientists conducted pressure tests on Thursday.

Scientists had hoped that the cement pumped in from the top had plugged the gap between the well’s inner pipe and its outer casing. The pressure tests showed some cement was in that gap, but officials don’t know enough about what’s there — or how much of it — to trust that there is a permanent seal, said Allen, who has repeatedly insisted on an “overabundance of caution� when it comes to plugging the well. The well spilled an estimated 206 million gallons of crude into the sea before BP finally put a cap on it July 15. But that was always regarded as a temporary fix until the relief well and the bottom kill could be completed.

Russia: Iran’s nuclear plant to get fuel next week MOSCOW (AP) — Russia announced Friday it will begin the startup next week of Iran’s only atomic power plant, giving Tehran a boost as it struggles with international sanctions and highlighting differences between Moscow and Washington over pressuring the Islamic Republic to give up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms. Uranium fuel shipped by Russia will be loaded into the Bushehr reactor on Aug. 21, beginning a process that will last about a month and end with the reactor sending electricity to Iranian cities, Russian and Iranian officials said. “From that moment, the Bushehr plant will be officially considered a nuclear energy installation,� said Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for the Russian nuclear agency. If Russia carries out its plan, it will end years of foot-dragging on Bushehr. While Moscow signed a $1 billion contract to build the plant in 1995, its completion has been put off for years. Moscow has cited technical reasons for the delays. But Bushehr has also been an ideal way to gain leverage with both Tehran and Washington. Delaying the project has given Russia continued influence with Tehran in international attempts to have it stop uranium enrichment — a program Iran says it needs to make fuel for an envisaged reactor network but which also The Spa at Bear Run Falls 865-908-1342

can be used to create fissile warhead material. The delays also have served to placate the U.S., which opposes rewarding Iran while it continues to defy the U.N. Security Council with its nuclear activities. After Russia said in March that Bushehr would be launched this year, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that until Iran reassures the world it is not trying to build a nuclear weapon, “it would be premature to go

ahead with any project at this time.� Formally, the U.S. has no problem with Bushehr. Although at first opposed to Russian participation in the project, Washington and its allies agreed to remove any reference to it in the first set of Security Council sanctions passed in 2006 in exchange for Moscow’s support for those penalties. Three subsequent sanctions resolutions also have no mention of Bushehr.

Senate to hold inquiry into hire NASHVILLE. (AP) — State lawmakers say they will hold hearings on the selection of a top aide of outgoing Gov. Phil Bredesen as the new chancellor for the Tennessee Board of Regents. The Tennessean reported Friday that following complaints from Republican lawmakers, the Senate Education Committee will call on TBR officials to explain the circumstances around the hiring of Deputy Gov. John Morgan last week. Criticism has been growing over the appointment of a longtime political hand to an academic position as the chief executive over the Regents system of universities and colleges.

Republican state Sens. Bill Ketron and Jim Tracy told the newspaper they also wanted to know why the Regents lowered educational requirements for the position and increased the salary before making the hire. Ketron said he also wants TBR officials to explain why the Senate has not been asked to confirm members to the board, despite a law that gives senators the right to reject appointees. “We have no control over (Morgan’s hiring),” Ketron said. “What we do have control over is confirmation of the Board of Regents.” Ketron and Tracy said they hope

the hearings will take place before Morgan is scheduled to take office Sept. 30. Morgan will continue to serve as deputy governor until then. A Bredesen spokeswoman told the newspaper that neither the governor nor Morgan were available for comment Thursday. Morgan previously served as state comptroller and as an adviser to the state legislature and was the only candidate interviewed for the position among six applications. The full board immediately approved Morgan for the job on the same day it received the recommendation from the search committee.

Three Cheers Award speaks highly of entertainers

Oprah takes big chance with Rosie Oprah Winfrey is a savvy businesswoman whose perspicacity in presenting herself to the public has earned her hundreds of millions of dollars. Recently, Winfrey announced she is getting out of broadcast television and into cable with the startup of her own channel, fittingly entitled the Oprah Winfrey Network, or OWN. Yes, she owns much of it. One of Oprah’s first moves was to hire Rosie O’Donnell to do a daily afternoon talk show. As you may know, Rosie flamed out on “The View” after saying things like 9/11 was an inside job and radical Christianity is “just as dangerous” as radical Islam. Even Joy Behar blanched at that one. For years, Rosie has tried to get back into the TV game. In 2008, NBC hired her to host an Ed Sullivan-type variety program, which lasted exactly one episode. Nobody watched. Not even radical Muslims. For many media companies, Rosie is damaged goods, a person who has alienated millions of Americans. But Oprah is bringing her back. Now, anyone who has achieved the success Oprah has must be taken seriously. But I am betting against Rosie. It’s not because of her political views — I’d have her on my program anytime. I simply do not believe she can entertain the folks at the level required to have them tune in every day. Rosie is angry. She is a true believer in left-wing causes, and that’s OK if you have the frame of reference to back it up. But it’s death for a comedian who depends on making folks laugh and feel good. According to the polls, America remains a center-right country, with just 20 percent of the citizenry defining themselves as liberal. That’s not enough to drive a successful mass-market TV or radio program. Despite having big left-wing names like Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, the Air America radio network went into bankruptcy. After comedian David Letterman came out as a left-wing guy, his late-night ratings took a dive. Even after all the trouble Jay Leno has had, he still beats Letterman by more than 20 percent in total audience. It is true that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert do well catering to left-wing viewers on Comedy Central, but their audience totals are nowhere near that of the Fox News Channel, which is consistently ranked in the top five of all primetime cable programs. FNC is not a liberal concern. So, Oprah is taking a gamble with Rosie, not only in the ratings department but also in the public relations area. If Rosie displays her radical side, Oprah will be held somewhat responsible. But maybe she’s reached the point where she doesn’t really care. President Obama received a huge lift when Oprah embraced him on her program. She also campaigned for him and made no secret of her admiration for Obama and his philosophy. In the past, Oprah has been largely above the political fray. Now, perhaps her move to cable is signaling a new era of Oprah activism. If so, expect much hell to break loose. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You? Distributed by Creators Syndicate. (C)2009 Bill O’Reilly.

In the case of Bob or Marty Hamill, if someone accused them of talking out of the side of their mouths, that would be a good thing. You see, the couple perform six days a week at the Blackwood Breakfast Variety Show — and they are both ventriloquists. The Hamills, you see, are among the best in the world. At the 34th annual International Vent Haven Ventriloquist Convention in Kentucky recently, the Hamills were presented with the W.S. Berger Distinguished Service Award. It is the highest honor a ventriloquist can receive. After performing all over the world, the Hamills settled in Pigeon Forge, working for the Fee-Hedrick Family Entertainment Group. Very few are ever even nominated for the award that is given to those who have not only excelled in the art of ventriloquism, but also in the way it is presented. “Bob and Marty are overdue for this presentation.” said Executive Director Mark Wade. Listen to him, folks. That’s no dummy talking.

Clinic gives hope for people needing physicals

Humane Society shows appreciation of supporters

The staff at Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic thinks more people should get physical — or, more succinctly, more people should get physicals. Problem is, many people can’t afford the examinations. So, this week, as part of the ETSU-Sevier County Partnership, free physicals were given at the clinic in Sevierville. Some 60 people showed up on the Tuesday, the first day of the two-day event, and another 80 were scheduled on Wednesday. “This is the best way for new patients to come in and get acquainted with us. It’s also a good experience for the ETSU medical students, so it’s a win-win situation,” said Mountain Hope Executive Director Mary Vance. Ten ETSU medical students and and physician faculty assisted with the clinic and health fair. That’s in addition to the dental hygiene students who travel to Mountain Hope each week to provide their services. This was the fourth year for the partnership. Appropriately enough, it appears to be physically fit.

With the stifling heat that has settled over the state since the first of the month, there’s no question that these are indeed the “dog” days of summer. That in mind, the cool cats who run the Sevier County Humane Society are today doing something that may become one of the pet events of their yearly calendar. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kroger on Highway 66, the Humane Society will give back to the people who have given so much to them by holding Appreciation Day. Free hot dogs and chips will be served and information about animals eligible for adoption and upcoming agency events will be available, too. “This is something we started last year. It’s our way of thanking the community for their support,” said Humane Society Executive Director Jayne Vaughan, adding that a list of items needed by the shelter would be available for anyone who might want to make a donation. That would be purrrfect.

O t h e r VI e w s — T h e Pa r i s ( T e n n . ) P o s t - I n t e l l i g e n c e r

If coal ash is danger, EPA should say so Should the Environmental Protection Agency declare coal ash a hazardous substance? An awful lot hangs on the answer to that question, and powerful forces are battling over whether the answer should be yes or no. A declaration of hazardous could set in motion a chain of events that would mean the death of the coal industry, if disposing of ash should become as problematic as what to do with nuclear waste. But the agency’s decision should not be based on the economic consequences, but on the danger to public health. If coal ash can be shown to be endangering lives, then the EPA should

say so. But unless hard evidence can be presented about the health dangers, the EPA should have a hands off approach. Coal ash currently is used in making cement and dry wall and as fill for embankments or abandoned mines. Tennessee Valley Authority, whose massive ash spill at the Kingston steam plant brought the subject to the public’s attention, receives about $2 million a year in ash sales. Of much greater impact than the sales income, however, is what TVA saves by not having to take special precautions in disposal.

If coal ash is considered hazardous, TVA would have to encapsulate storage sites to prevent dangerous chemicals from leaching into ground water, vastly increasing its costs. Nationally, burning coal produces more than 100 million tons of ash per year. Nearly half of that is stored in dumps or used in fills. ... EPA is considering new rules for coal ash, but even if use of the ash continues to be legal, a declaration of hazardous would strike a mortal blow at the coal industry. ... What’s most important is determining precisely the threat, if any, that coal burning has on people’s health.

It’s finally football time! County Jamboree showcases local talent By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The sweltering heat and humidity failed to keep hundreds of people from attending Friday night’s secondannual Smoky Mountain Kickoff Jamboree at Sevier County High School.

Pigeon Forge boys chip one away from G-P, Grace Christian JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — The 2009 Sevier County High Schools golf champ is off to a good start in 2010. Chase McCown of the Pigeon Forge Tigers (7-3) led his squad to a win Thursday over rival Gatlinburg-Pittman and Grace Christian, while tying for the match’s low medalist. Shade Treadway of G-P showed that McCown will

have competition for the county crown again this year and tied the PF golfer for low medalist with a 36. But McCown’s Tiger teammates bettered the remaining Highlanders, allowing PF to topple G-P 170 to 198. The Tigers also finished ahead of Grace Christian, which finished with a 176. Also scoring for Pigeon Forge were Tyler Watts with a 43, Cody Vaught with a 44 and Jordan Thomas with a 47. G-P’s

remaining golfers scored as follows: Garrett Barnett - 42, John Ogle Clabo - 48 and Dylan Byrd - 72. In girls’ action Grace Christian won with an 86. PF (3-3) was next with a 98, followed by G-P with a 106. Sunni McAllister shot a 44 and Mikayla Trombley scored 54 for the Lady Tigers. For G-P, Ghelsey James had a 50 and Noelle Webb a 53. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Dickey pitches 1-hitter, Mets blank Phillies By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer NEW YORK — Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey threw a one-hitter, allowing only a sixth-inning single to pitcher Cole Hamels, and the New York Mets shut out the Philadelphia Phillies once again at Citi Field, 1-0 Friday night. The Mets blanked the high-scoring Phillies for the fourth straight time at home. New York outscored their NL East rivals 16-0 during a three-game sweep in late May, a string started by Dickey. David Wright and Carlos

Beltran hit consecutive doubles with two outs in the sixth for the lone run. Despite having Mike Hessman lose a home run on a video replay reversal, the Mets posted their first two-game winning streak since June 22-23. Hit hard by the Phillies in his last start, Dickey (8-5) baffled them all evening this time, striking out seven and walking one in his second career shutout — his other came in 2003 with Texas. This was the Mets’ major league-leading 18th shutout this year, matching their most since 1976. The win provided some much-needed relief for the

Tri-County try-outs at Bower Field

Mets. The last couple of days have been dominated by news of closer Francisco Rodriguez’s arrest on a charge of third-degree assault against his girlfriend’s father — suspended for two days, the reliever is set to rejoin the team Saturday. The Mets and San Diego are the only teams in the majors that have never pitched a no-hitter, and Dickey’s bid ended with one out in the sixth.

Hamels, a career .146 hitter coming into the game, lined a solid single that strong-armed right fielder Jeff Francoeur handled at medium depth, and he looked at first base before deciding not to try a heave. That was the last runner Dickey allowed. He raised both arms over his head as Placido Polanco hit a fly ball that Francoeur easily caught for the final out.

MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL

It’s a tough start for middle school Bears SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Middle School Bears football team hosted the Maryville Bulldogs Thursday evening for the first game of the season, and things didn’t start well for the Bears. In the first quarter the Bulldogs found the endzone twice, and though they failed to convert the extra points, they led over the Bears 12-0. Maryville went on to score again before the end of the first half to push their lead

to 20-0. The Bulldogs found the endzone once again in the third quarter to add to their lead, making the score 26-0. The Bears finally cracked the Bulldogs’ defense and scored on a Connor Bailey 60-plus yard run to make the score 26-8. The game ended 36-8 for Maryville. “We had good effort from several players but we have a long way to go to get better,� coach Jim Bingham said.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Tiger Woods ate breakfast three times before he teed off in the first round of the PGA Championship. It was time for dinner when his second round began Friday. Bubba Watson walked off Whistling Straits atop the leaderboard after opening with a 68. He waited 30 hours for his next shot. And then there’s Nick Watney. “I was talking with my caddie this afternoon, and we were talking about something that happened this morning,� he said. “But we both thought it was yesterday. So it’s been a long day. I’ll have no trouble sleeping tonight and wake up tomorrow and see where we’re at.� Not much is clear in the final major of the year. At least not yet. After two days — but not two full rounds — Matt Kuchar was atop the leaderboard after another rock-solid round on a soft course. He nearly holed out from the 13th fairway again during a stretch of three straight birdies that led to a 3-under 69. Kuchar was at 8-under 136, one shot ahead of Watney, who had a 68. “Not too much trouble to report in two rounds,� said Kuchar, explaining the key to success in just about any major. The only trouble was sleep. Kuchar woke up at 4 a.m. to get to the course and resume his second round at 7 a.m. But while it was clear on the practice range, it was soon tough to see the clubhouse 200 yards away, and players had to wait 2 1/2 hours to start. Kuchar made birdie on his first hole — the sixth — to take the lead, finished up his 67, had a quick lunch and played the second round. “Sitting around right now, it’s nice to be done,� said Kuchar, who left the course about 12 hours after he arrived. Woods finally teed off at 5:45 p.m., leaving him

enough time to play six holes and make six pars. Only they sure weren’t routine. He had to scramble for par off a cart path, out of grass up to his knees and from a grassy knoll that made it tough for him to keep his balance. After the siren sounded to suspend play, Woods opted to finish the sixth hole. He chipped out of deep grass below the green and left himself a 5-foot birdie putt that spun 270 degrees around the cup and sent him home somber. “Had to hang in there, and did a good job with that,� Woods, who remained at 1 under, told a PGA official. The fog played havoc on the starting times. Whistling Straits delivered its own share of misery, too, starting with European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie. He played in the same group with Kuchar and was 26 shots worse over two rounds, going 78-83. Phil Mickelson took some unusual routes from tee-to-green, although some of his misses were so big that he wound up in the gallery, where the grass had been trampled. Mickelson carries extra gloves in his bag for souvenirs when he hits a fan, and he handed one out on the 15th hole, complete with a frown sign inside the “o� in “Sorry.� No apologies were necessarily when he scrambled his way to a 69, putting him at 2-under 142 and still very much alive in his quest to move to No. 1 in the world for the first time. “This is a penalizing golf course to not play from the fairway,� Mickelson said. “And I certainly explored a lot of areas here. First 27 holes for me to keep it around par was a feat, and I drove it better the last nine holes. ... I just want to be in a position where if I play like I know I can, I can make up some ground. And I feel like I’m within striking distance.� Join the crowd.

The Bears picked up two first downs and moved the ball from their own 34 to the Seymour 32 before time expired. On 2nd-and-6, Manning dropped a screen pass left to FB Logan Brett, who took it to the 10 yards to the Sevier County 48. And on 4th-and-12 with the clock winding down, Manning connected deep down the middle to WR Paden Pilgrim for a first down at the Seymour 32 as time expired in a scoreless tie. • 1st Quarter, G-P junior varsity vs. Seymour junior varsity The junior varsity squads from GatlinburgPittman and Seymour continued the night’s trend and also battled to a 0-0 tie in a 12-minute quarter of play. After the Highlanders took the opening possession and went three-andout punt, Seymour began a promising first drive from its own 39 with 10:05 in the period. Seymour RB Kevin Taylor picked up both first downs, including a nice 26-yard burst on 3rd-and10, that led to the G-P 25.

But again, G-P was unable to move the chains and went three-and-out punt, giving the ball back to the Eagles at their own 40 with 3:54 to play. But the Highlanders got the ball back two plays later when G-P’s Hansford Howell came up with a fumbled Seymour handoff exchange, giving G-P possession at the Eagles 40 with 3:37 in the period. And for the third time, G-P went three-and-out punt, giving Seymour the ball at its own 18 with 2:24 in the quarter. The Eagles managed a pair of first downs — on a 14-yard slant pass from QB Corbin Ogle to WR Corey Heard, and a 20-yard dump pass to the left flat from Ogle to Taylor — and got as far as the G-P 43 before time expired on an eight-yard QB sack by G-P’s Durbin.

After picking up a first down with a 16-yard aerial hook-up between QB Shane Sharp to WR Daniel Abbott, Pigeon Forge nearly got the first score of the scrimmage when Austin McCarter broke through the 4-hole, found a seam to the outside and took it 41 yards down the sideline for a 1st-and-Goal at the Smoky Bear 9. Sevier County had been bent, but the Bears refused to break. On 4th-and-Goal from the 4, the Purple and White stripped the ball loose and Sevier County’s Martez Tarity came up with the loose ball at the Sevier County 6 with 5:22 on the clock. The Bears managed a first down on a 19-yard connection from QB Casey Carr to WR Brandon Cline on a high-arching pass deep down the left side, but they were forced to punt it away four plays later, giving it back to the Tigers at their own 35 with 1:56 remaining.

ST. JOSEPH’S THE CARPENTER EPISCOPAL CHURCH

with the end zone on three different possessions before Seymour even managed a first down. The Eagles offense finally found a soft spot to attack on its third possession after running just six offensive plays for no first downs on their first two times with the ball. After yet another stop of G-P inside the red zone, Seymour finally got untracked with a big 48-yard run down the left sideline by RB Lee Knight. The play was called back to the Eagle 22 for a hold, but Seymour had discovered a weak spot and kept attacking. Seymour QB Dustin Fain next took advantage and ripped off a 46-yard gain down the left side for a first down at the G-P 32, and then Kevin Kennedy attacked the left side for a 31-yard gain to the G-P 1. Two Fain sneaks later and the Seymour QB put the first points of the night on the board with a one-yard TD run with 1:43 in the quarter. The pointafter kick failed to make it the eventual 6-0 final. G-P, sparked by a 46-yard aerial from QB Tye Marshall to WR Jeremy Hibbard, had the ball at the Eagles 1-foot line yet came up empty after a 19-yard field goal attempt was ruled wide four plays later. On their second drive, the Highlanders squandered a great 23-yard

one-handed catch from Marshall to Ron Durbin that gave G-P a 1st-and10 at the Seymour 12. RB Dillon Reagan was stuffed by a flock of Eagles on 4th-and-3 at the 5 a few plays later. Moments later, G-P’s Michael Patton gave his team another shot at a score when he scooped up a Seymour fumble at the Eagles 10, giving the Highlanders a 1st-andGoal. But four incompletions later gave the ball back to Seymour on downs for the Eagles possession that ended with a score. • 4th Quarter, Pigeon Forge Tigers vs. Sevier County High School Smoky Bears Like a grand finale show, the Tigers and Smoky Bears finally lit up the scoreboard in the fourth period of play. In the end, the hosting Purpleand-White team earned a 13-10 scrimmage win against the feisty Pigeon Forge team. The Bears moved the ball at will on their opening possession, and after QB Danny Chastain connected with Bryant Gilson for a 48-yard gain down the right side, Bubba Floyd finished the drive with a six-yard TD run up the middle. The PAT kick failed, but SCHS led 6-0 with 12:48 in the quarter. After a quick three-andout punt, Pigeon Forge got the ball back after Trey

Cupp recovered an SCHS fumble at the Bears 39 with 10:47 to play. And on 3rd-and-9, Tigers QB Cory Fox found WR Caleb Black deep down the left sideline for a 32-yard gain to the SCHS 6. A few plays later, and K Miguel Coello connected on a 21-yarder to cut the Sevier County lead to 6-3. The Bears answered with a nine-play drive capped by a 29-yard TD pass from Cullen Lavoi to Logan McCarter with 4:19 remaining. Jared Baxter’s kick was true this time, making it 13-3 Sevier County. But the Tigers came right back with a twoplay scoring drive highlighted by a 33-yard run by Michael Lombrana and finished with a 42-yard TD pass from Fox to Black with 3:44 in the period. Coello’s PAT kick was true, cutting it to the eventual final. After the Tigers forced the Bears into a 3rd-and27 deep in Sevier County territory, the Purple and White caught a break with a questionable defensive pass interference call that gave the Bears an automatic first down at their own 28 with 1:44 remaining. Sevier County ended it with three QB kneel downs, preserving their three-point victory. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Advice

Response to Father’s Day song query overwhelming

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Readers: When we printed the letter from Walt Paluch, asking for the words to an old Father’s Day song, we had no idea so many readers would be interested. Although none seems to hit the nail on the head, one comes close. It was sent in by two readers, one from Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., and the other from New Bedford, Mass. Take a look: Wonderful Daddy of Mine Songwriters write about Mothers Songs that are touching and sad. Seems they forget about Daddies So I’ll sing this song for my Dad. There’s no pal in the world like my Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine. I will always be kind to my Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine. I was thinking today if my Daddy’d go away How I’d miss him, how I’d long for him. I know that I’d say, there’s no pal in the world like my Daddy. From California: Could these be the words? F is for the Faith that I have in you. A is for the Affection that you treat me with. T is for the Tender touch of yours. H is for the Happiness that you give me. E is for the Endless sacrifice that you make for me. R is for the Rapture that I get in your company. From Kamuela: My ukulele class has been singing this song as taught to us by Kumu

Na’alei Liana: F is being Faithful, understanding. A is Always generous and kind. T for Tender loving care you gave me. H is for the Helpful things you do. E for Every sacrifice you’ve made, dear. R is Remembering to be extra-special kind. Put them all together they spell FATHER, A man who means the world to me. Dear Annie: Although I’m 84 years old, I’ve never heard a Father’s Day song. So I composed these words -they’re yours if you want them. -- Regina Engler F is for the faith with which you raised me. A is for affection that we shared. T is for the tenderness you gave me. H is for the heart that showed you cared. E is for the eyes that glimpsed the future. R is for remembering the past. Put them all together they spell Father, The one whose love will always last. College Station, Texas: My father used to sing this when I was a little girl: F is for the funny face of Father. A is for the alcohol he drinks. T is for the tales he tells to Mother. H is how she believes them, though he thinks. E is for the evenings

he’s spent rambling. R is for the rum he drinks with joy. Put them all together they spell father. And father he’s a gay ole’ boy. California: Maybe this is what Walt is looking for: F is for the faith and love you gave me. A is for the attention that you paid me. T is for the tears you helped to wipe away. H is for your heart of purest gold. E is for the proudness in your eyes. R is for the right you’ll always be. You put them all together they spell father. You mean all the world to me. Tamiment, Pa.: Here’s the Father’s Day Song: F is for my fat and funny father, A is for the alcohol he drinks, T is for the tales he tells to mother, H is for his heart like tiddlywinks. E is for the eyes he gazes into, R is for the rum he does consume, Put them all together they spell FATHER, The guy who sleeps in our front room.
