GATLINBURG — The Arrowmont board is meeting this weekend to decide whether to keep the arts and crafts school in Gatlinburg or move it to Greeneville. What appears to be a sharply divided board started its weekend meeting on Friday and expects to wrap it up sometime today on the campus of the Gatlinburg school. When the board mem-

bers adjourn, it probably will be after they have decided the future of the school. The board plans a press conference Monday in Knoxville to formally announce the decision. “This is an opportunity for the board to come together and review all the material and all the information and comments assembled for their review,” David Willard, executive director of Arrowmont, said Friday. “They will analyze

and reflect on what is in the best long-term interest of Arrowmont. It’s my hope the board will reach a decision.” Willard said he won’t offer a recommendation, saying this is a board decision. The board includes a number of Gatlinburg residents, including Geoff Wolpert, Margit Worsham and Bill May. May was chairman of a task force formed by the

The water intake plant at Douglas Lake has suffered some extra expense due to variable power supply.

Submitted

Power issues costly to water board By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer DOUGLAS LAKE — As annoying as it is to have to go through and reset all those blinking digital clocks in the house after a power failure, imagine if it cost a few thousand dollars every time the lights blinked. That’s the situation the Sevier County Water Board is facing, with a variable power supply at the end of a line causing issues with their expensive equipment at the water intake plant at Douglas Lake. That facility sucks up water from the reservoir, sending it through buried pipes

to local municipal treatment facilities. It’s managed by the board, which is composed of administrators from each of the four cities — Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Pittman Center and Sevierville — and the county mayor. Over the past couple years that group has had to foot the bill on quite a few repairs, with payment for that work coming out of a fund of taxpayer dollars from each entity. At times the tab has been pretty costly, running even into the tens of thousands of dollars. See Water, Page A4

SEYMOUR — Austin Rice began the school year with a new title: National Junior Beta Club president. After winning his division’s election in Nashville in November, the Seymour Middle School student went on to Louisville, Ky., to win the national title in June. “I had to get a speech together, which I practiced over and over,” the eighth-grader said. “I practiced in front of all the Beta Club members in the school, which wasn’t even a fourth of the people at state. I couldn’t be shy — I had to campaign.” Austin introduced himself to his peers and delivered his two-minute speech, followed by a skit in which fellow SMS Beta Club members performed and danced. Seymour High School student Austin Oglesby lent a hand by rapping to the old 1990s tune “Ice Ice Baby,” substituting it with “Rice Rice Baby.”

T h e younger Austin defeated 14 other state officers for the national title. Rice Enrolled in National Junior Beta Club when he was in the fifth grade, Austin has remained in the club by fulfilling the requirements of keeping a grade point average of 90 or above in each class. He joins several other Seymour Middle students who have held national offices, including Tanner Cox, whom Austin helped campaign last year for national secretary. This year, Austin will travel to Junior Beta Club state conventions in Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and other states to meet and talk to his peers. One special experience he had as a state officer was attending Broyhill Camp at Limestone See Rice, Page A4

The most recent incident wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that expensive, thankfully, with only $1,077 required to repair a pump motor starter that shorted out after a drop in the amount of electricity running to it, said engineer Gary McGill, who advises the board. Replacing the part would have cost around $3,000, so there was a considerable savings in salvaging the starter. This apparently isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time the plant, which uses massive pumps running at 2,000 horsepower to bring the water in and send it down the lines, has had problems with peaks and valleys in power supply. A series of issues a couple years ago brought in considerable bills after, among other things, one of those huge motors failed. McGill told the group study at the site determined the prob-

lems were being caused by spikes in the amount of electricity being fed into the area, which sits at the end of a line supplied by Sevier County Electric System (SCES). McGill worked with representatives from SCES to address the problem, with each side taking steps to regulate the power coming in. At the plant, that meant grounding the electrical line to give that extra power somewhere to go and putting in a system that dampens any remaining peaks. That system has held well until now, when it appears the opposite condition, a dip in the power supply, caused the starter to short out. SCES Secretary/ Treasurer Allen Robbins told The Mountain Press Thursday the utility hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recorded any issues with supply to the line the intake facility is on.

James Madison Lamon, age 82, of Pigeon Forge, passed away Friday, August 20, 2010. He is survived by his children Cathy Sorrell, Robert Lamon, Pamela Lamon, Steven Lamon, Sheila Garcia and Bradley Lamon; grandchildren Jennifer and Jason, Beth, Holly, Katrina, Jacob, Crystal, Christian, Cord, Joshua, Nicholas, Jonathan, Seth, Jared, Rachel and Asher; greatgrandchildren Jazzlyn, Preston, Will, Olivia and Caleb; special nephew Dennis Reagan and wife Margie; special cousins Edith Bradley and Leona Compton-Ogle.

However, there may be other conditions at play that could have caused the problem. While Robbins couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall any issues that might have caused the power to go off in the area of the plant, he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not out of the question that a recent storm could have at least tripped that breaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some operations out there, but the water system folks havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contacted us about them,â&#x20AC;? he said. McGill said even that short gap in supply could cause an issue for the sensitive system, particularly since that little interruption likely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kick on the back up power generators at the site. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful there is a solution to this problem like there was to the other and said he will soon be contacting SCES for a joint effort to address the issue.

Arrowmont board earlier this year to explore proposals for the school from Gatlinburg, Knoxville and Greeneville. The task force made a report to the Arrowmont board, but did not recommend a specific city. The board eliminated Knoxville from the running in June. Greeneville businessman Scott Niswonger has offered the school 60 acres for free on which to build a new campus. Meanwhile a Sevier County task force of public and private leaders came up with its own proposal, details of which have not been made public. One of the conditions set by the Arrowmont board in considering whether to say or move has been owning whatever property itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on. Arrowmont now leases its 14 acres from Pi Beta Pi Fraternity for Women. The fraternity has made it clear it wants to sell the land. Gatlinburg City Commissioner Jerry Hays, who is speaking for the city on the Arrowmont issue, says the commission has not discussed or taken a formal vote on any proposal involving tax money, but acknowledges a bond issue backed by the city may need to be issued to purchase the land. Businessman Jim Ogle, who served on the task force seeking to keep Arrowmont in town, said he feels both good and concerned heading into the weekend. The Gatlinburg faction has been in a tough spot, he says, since they would have to negotiate with Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women to buy the 14 acres on which Arrowmont sits. The property in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg is believed to be worth millions, though in a sluggish economy it may not produce as much money. Some estimates put the sales value at around $1 million an acre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good that we did

Authorities believe Hrabowy had confined his wife in their home and â&#x20AC;&#x153;caused an explosion that resulted in the house fire,â&#x20AC;? Public Information Officer Bob Stahlke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what caused the explosion but at this point weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ready to release it,â&#x20AC;? Stahke said. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear when authorities began investigating the incident as a possible attempted murder; Stahlke said that after getting information about the fire, Fire Marshal Tommy White and Lt. Sam Hinson of the Sevierville Police Department began an investigation. The Knoxville office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also aided in the investigation, he said. No further details were available Friday evening.

as good as we could with the situation we were put in,â&#x20AC;? Ogle said of the offer form local officials to Arrowmont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met a lot of different times and talked about a lot of different issues. We have come up with something that we think is a workable deal. But if somebody doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it.â&#x20AC;? Willard said all of the presentations from Gatlinburg and Greeneville are over; this weekend is all about the board evaluating the proposals and discussing their relative merits and strengths. Hays says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how the Arrowmont board could choose any option other than staying in Gatlinburg. He thinks the board will ultimately choose that option. Arrowmont was established following a vote of the Pi Beta Phi board in 1964. It is on property owned by the fraternity for some 100 years and site of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s settlement school created to educate area children. Arrowmont has become a world famous school of arts and crafts, hosting workshops, classes and art exhibitions. In 2008 the fraternity announced it had an agreement to sell the property to developers who planned a $500 million complex of hotels, shops, a water park and more. That deal fell through, but the fraternity signaled its intention to sell the land and end its relationship with Arrowmont. That started the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to find a permanent home.

Parents file suit in drowning death of child By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The parents of a 3-yearold who drowned in the indoor swimming pool of a rental cabin have sued the cabin owners and the agency that manages the cabin. Drake Logan Speegle died Nov. 27 at a cabin on Bird Nest Way in Gatlinburg when he apparently fell or got into the pool and was unable to get out. He had apparently gone into the pool area alone. His mother, Holly Beth Grady, filed a complaint in Sevier County Circuit Court saying that the child gained access to the pool, and that led to the accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defendants ... knew or in the exercise of due care should have known that children staying in the cabin were likely to gain access in the immediate

area of the indoor swimming pool and that the lock(s) nearby the pool were not in proper order or that the combination locking system was so difficult to understand that it was probable that some persons would be unable to lock and unlock the door,â&#x20AC;? attorney F. Braxton Terry wrote in the complaint. Grady is complaining of wrongful death based on negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress. She is asking for compensatory and punitive damages to be decided by a jury. She is suing the cabin owners, who live in Indiana, as well as Hickory Mist Luxurey Cabin Rentals, the local company responsible for managing the property. Representatives of Hickory Mist could not be reached for comment. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Visitors center to host woodturning demonstrations Submitted Report TOWNSEND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For centuries, many intricate shapes and designs, as well as functional pieces of art, have been created through the art of woodturning. Thought to date back to Egypt in 1300 B.C., woodturning has grown and developed into an Appalachian craft and hobby that has been passed down from generation to generation. The Smoky Mountain Convention and Visitors Bureau will host experienced woodturners Monte Walker and Roy Lindsey, who will demonstrate their hobby from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 27 and Sept. 10 at the Townsend Visitors Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to see first-hand the amount of hard work and talent it takes to take a common piece of wood and turn it into a beautiful work of art,â&#x20AC;? said Herb Handly, executive vice president of tourism for the bureau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharing this, and other Appalachian experiences is an important service that we provide to our visitors and locals. We want to ensure these traditions are carried on, and by sharing them with others, you not only educate them, but we hope to get others interested in learn-

ing about the demonstrations and maybe taking up an Appalachian hobby of their own.â&#x20AC;? Both Walker and Lindsey have been woodturning for years, creating bowls, lamps, vases, plates, pens, pencils and other items. At the visitors center, they will be demonstrating the process of woodturning by creating bowls and lamps and will also have a variety of their art for sale. Lindsey said the art of woodturning is a slow process that takes a lot of preparation. He turns local wood, cutting his own. After gathering the wood, it must be left to dry for up to an inch per year to prevent cracking and splitting. The wood is then cut and placed on a faceplate that spins the wood while being shaped. Depending on the type of wood and whether it is good, strong and dry enough, anything from an oil lamp to a pencil can be turned. The Townsend Visitors Center is located at 7906 E. Lamar Alexander Parkway. To learn more about demonstrations and exhibits at the Townsend Visitors center, call 800525-6834 or (865) 4486134, or visit www.smokymountains.org.

Charge normal during peak demand By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer With several monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of extra charges on local residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; power bills, Tennessee Valley Authority officials are defending the fuel cost adjustment they tack onto their charges. The federal utility changed the way it handles those additional charges in October, moving from a quarterly to a monthly system. That means each bill in high-demand times is likely to now include the extra fee, an add-on that customers have no option on accepting. The charge stems from days when the agency has pretty much exhausted its options for producing cheap power, TVA spokesman Scott Brooks explains. That means all its nuclear and coal plants, the two cheapest forms of generation, are working as hard as they can. That still leaves sources like the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas-fired plants to turn on, with those facilities sitting mostly idle because of the rising cost of that fuel. While that means the utility still has options to produce power, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always the most efficient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are times when it is cheaper for us to buy power from the open market than it is for us to produce it at our natural gas plants, for instance,â&#x20AC;? Brooks says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically every summer we have to buy more power to meet demand. We do that in the winter, too. Anytime we reach those peak demand times.â&#x20AC;? Sevier County Electric System Secretary/ Treasurer Allen Robbins says the local supplier has set a record for oneday peak demand in the

summer this year, with some even hotter days in August not yet accounted for. Likewise, Brooks says TVA has experienced demand that has far outstripped the utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to supply it cheaply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been too many days this summer when we had nothing left that we could turn on, but there have been a few,â&#x20AC;? Brooks says. In those instances where the utility has to buy power from outside sources, that electricity may be cheaper than turning on the natural gas burners, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally more expensive than running the coal plants. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something of a misnomer, the additional cost to buy that supply is tacked onto customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

bills as a fuel cost adjustment. Though the invoice local residents get for their power might not come directly from TVA, Robbins says the charge is folded into it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Sevier County Electric is paying the fee and has to pass that on to its customers. For Sevier countians, that has meant bills coming in this summer several dollars higher than they might have expected based purely on their actual energy consumption. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just residential customers that are affected. Officials with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government recently took control of the old Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center with plans to locate offices in the facility.

However, at the advice of engineers who have looked at the site, their first move will be to change the HVAC system, among other things, at the building. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the power bills there were running on the top side of $80,000 and getting higher before the hospital shut down. Likewise, the Sevier County Water board has faced ever-mounting bills for operating the 2,000 horsepower of pumps at its Douglas Lake water intake facility. The group, perhaps overly optimistically, budgeted $350,000 for electric this year, down $10,000 from last year. That may have to be amended, with the July bill for the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation topping $25,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nearly half of the 1.3 million homeowners who enrolled in the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship mortgage-relief program have fallen out. The program is intended to help those at risk of foreclosure by lowering their monthly mortgage payments. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report from the Treasury Department suggests the $75 billion government effort is failing to slow the tide of foreclosures in the United States, economists say. More than 2.3 million homes have fallen into foreclosure since the recession began in December 2007, according to foreclosure listing service RealtyTrac Inc. QUALITY EYEWEAR AT AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES!

recovery hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stalled out. Thirty-seven states saw job gains in July, an improvement from June but below the 41 states that gained jobs in May. That occurred even as many states lost temporary census jobs. Overall, 143,000 census jobs across the country ended in July. Private employers, meanwhile, added 71,000 jobs last month. Job market improvement â&#x20AC;&#x153;is slow, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still moving in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Cochrane, an economist at Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Analytics. There were some bright spots in the Northeast. New York and Massachusetts reported strong job gains. Massachusetts added 19,200 private-sector jobs, the largest monthly gain in

more than 20 years. The increases in Massachusetts were broad-based. They included 6,100 new jobs in hotels and restaurants, 1,600 additional jobs in retail and 2,800 new jobs in manufacturing. The state was one of the first to see its housing sector slump, Cochrane said, and may now be exiting the downturn earlier than other states. Still, Massachusettsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unemployment rate was 9 percent in July, the same as in June. New York added 29,000 private-sector jobs, the largest gain since April 2005. The state reported more jobs in leisure and hospitality, manufacturing, construction and professional and business services.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unemployment fell in fewer states in July than in the previous three months, a sign that the pace of job growth has slowed. The jobless rate dropped in 18 states and Washington, D.C. last month, the Labor Department said Friday. It rose in 14 states and stayed the same in 18. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slowdown from the past three months when unemployment fell in more than 30 states. Nationwide, the unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.5 percent in July. The report suggests many states are seeing less improvement in the job market than earlier this year. But there were positive signs that indicate the

instead of deferring the peace brokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as former President George W. Bush did. Bringing the two sides to Washington for a symbolic handshake also will saddle Obama with one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most intractable problems just when many other things, from a jobless recovery to probable midterm election losses, are not going well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the Pottery Barn rule for Obama. He owns this now,â&#x20AC;? said Aaron David Miller, a scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center who advised presidents during two decades of attempts at a Mideast settlement. The breakthrough after a nearly two-year hiatus in face-to-face negotiations brings the two sides back to where they were when the last direct talks began in November 2007, near the end of the Bush administration. Those talks broke down after Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 military operation in Gaza, followed by Netanyahuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election last year on a much tougher platform than his predecessor. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement came after months of shuttle diplomacy by the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mideast envoy, former Sen. George Mitchell. It also followed a period of chilly U.S. relations with Netanyahu, primarily over expansion of Jewish housing on disputed land. QUALITY EYEWEAR AT AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES!

Peace talks planned between Israel, Palestine WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plunging into the Mideast peacemakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role that has defeated so many U.S. leaders, President Barack Obama on Friday invited Israel and the Palestinians to try anew in face-to-face talks for a historic agreement to establish an independent Palestinian state and secure peace for Israel. Negotiations shelved two years ago will resume Sept. 2 in Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said. Obama will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for dinner the night before. The goal: a deal in a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time on the toughest issues that have sunk previous negotiations, including the borders of a new Palestinian state and the fate of disputed Jerusalem, claimed as a holy capital by both peoples. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been difficulties in the past, there will be difficulties ahead,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a doubt, we will hit more obstacles.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, soon after Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement the militant Hamas movement that controls the Gaza Strip, which along with the West Bank is supposed to be part of an eventual Palestinian state, rejected the talks, saying they were based on empty promises. Winning agreement to at least restart the direct talks makes good on an Obama campaign promise to confront the festering conflict early in his presidency,

The latest guidelines for BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $20 billion victims compensation fund say the nearer you are geographically to the oil spill and the more closely you depend on the Gulf of Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources, the better chance you have of getting a share of the money. Also, a second set of rules expected this fall will require that businesses and individuals seeking compensation for longterm losses give up their right to sue BP and other spill-related companies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that could save the oil giant billions. The new rules for the claims process were released Friday by Washington lawyer Kenneth Feinberg, who was picked by President Barack Obama to run the fund and previously oversaw claims for 9/11 victims. Beginning Monday, the claims will be handled by Feinberg rather than BP, which is still footing the entire $20 billion bill. Who gets paid and who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t will depend largely

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A second Iowa farm is recalling eggs due to salmonella poisoning. The FDA says the recall is related to an ongoing investigation of an outbreak that has sickened more than 1,000 people. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hillandale Farms said Friday that it was recalling its eggs after laboratory tests confirmed illnesses associated with them. The company did not say how many eggs were being recalled or if it is connected to Wright County Egg, the Iowa farm that recalled 380 million eggs earlier this week. An FDA spokeswoman said the two recalls were related. The strain of salmonella poisoning is the same strain linked to Wright County Egg. Eggs were distributed under the brand names Hillandale Farms, Sunny Farms, Sunny Meadow, Wholesome Farms and West Creek.

Economists expect the number of foreclosures to grow well into next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government program as currently structured is petering out. It is taking in fewer homeowners, more are dropping out and fewer people are ending up in permanent modifications,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Analytics. Besides forcing people from their homes, foreclosures and distressed home sales have pushed down on home values and crippled the broader housing

industry. They have made it difficult for homebuilders to compete with the depressed prices and discouraged potential sellers from putting their homes on the market. Around 630,000 people who had tried to get their monthly mortgage payments lowered through the government program have been cut loose through July, according to the Treasury report. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 48 percent of the those who had enrolled since March 2009. And it is up from more than 40 percent through June.

Judge rejects Fisk deal By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — A judge on Friday rejected Fisk University’s latest attempt to sell to an Arkansas museum a joint stake in a 101-piece collection donated to the school by the late artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Judge Ellen Hobbs Lyle agreed with Fisk’s argument at trial that the historically black university’s precarious financial state makes the school unable to exhibit the collection. But the judge said the Fisk proposal to sell a 50 percent to the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville,

Ark., for $30 million does not meet the terms of the donation O’Keeffe made to the school in 1949. “A new plan for the Collection is necessary,” Lyle wrote in the ruling. “Fisk either needs assistance with the Collection or Fisk needs to be replaced.” The university issued a press release saying that “Fisk’s objective remains to fashion an agreement that provides both relief to Fisk and supports the Collection.” A message left with the Crystal Bridges museum was not immediately returned. The museum was founded by Wal-Mart heiress Alice

Walton. O’Keeffe donated the art to Fisk because the school, founded in 1866, educated blacks at a time when the South was segregated. Her purpose was to “enable the public — in Nashville and the South — to have the opportunity to study the Collection,” Lyle said in the ruling. Lyle noted that the driving distance to Bentonville is 555 miles, and that Nashville is both more racially diverse and closer to other Southern states. The deal with Crystal Bridges would “dilute, override and in some cases thwart Ms. O’Keeffe’s intention,” Lyle said.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haitian President Rene Preval met with presidential hopeful Wyclef Jean for more than t w o hours on Thursday, touching off a new round of speculation as to whether Jean the singer will be allowed to run in Nov. 28 elections. Jean told The Associated Press that he felt the exchange with Preval was positive. “I feel good,” the hip hop artist and former Fugees frontman said. “I feel that the president that I voted for five years ago is the same person that was sitting in front of me today.” Several hours after the meeting, Jean posted a photo on his Twitter account of him shaking hands with Preval, who is not allowed to run for re-election. Earlier in the week, Jean said he had received death threats. Jean said Preval expressed concern and offered him security.

Three Cheers ‘Elegance’ winners add to Take yourself out to the health of Thomas Foundation ball game to see great team

Finland may best the U.S., but it’s boring And the winner is: Finland! According to Newsweek magazine, that is the best country on the face of the earth. Who knew? The United States is the 11th best place to live, just behind Denmark, which, of course, is close to the promised land of Finland. A few years ago, I visited Helsinki, Finland’s small capital city. There were saunas everywhere, and that’s a good thing when you are that close to the Arctic Circle. In fact, unless you’re a polar bear, going outside in the winter can be breathtaking. Literally. Nevertheless, the five millionplus Finns are relatively fine. Eighty percent of students make it to college, and life expectancy is close to 80 years old. There are few poor people floating around — you’d be a block of ice in that circumstance. Newsweek is a relatively liberal publication, and I was struck by the magazine’s choice because there is little “diversity” in Finland and the left loves diversity. Ninety-four percent of citizens are of Finnish extraction, and the rest are Swedes or Russians. That means blacks, Asians and other ethnic groups are in short supply. In fact, about the only time Finns get to see them is on videotape. How about religion? Well, 83 percent of Finns are Lutheran and 15 percent do not believe in God. That means if you are Catholic, Jewish or Muslim, you might be very lonely. There could never be a mosque controversy in Finland because there would be no one to go the mosque. My time in Helsinki was pleasant but boring. I mean, how much herring can one eat? There aren’t too many attractions, but there are plenty of trees and 60,000 lakes. Of course, if you swim in the lakes, you will get hypothermia, which puts a crimp in water sports, as we all know. Finns are generally liberal thinkers with the exception of global warming. Many ask: Why fight that? If the warming trend increases, perhaps we could get out of the house by May. It is hard to argue with that logic. As an American, I always think my country is best, and truthfully, I never thought Finland was in the same league until Newsweek enlightened me. I kind of like having options in my life, and the USA offers plenty of those. If I want to freeze, I can sidle on up to Alaska. If I want it hot, Florida is a short plane ride away. We also have plenty of lakes here, and you can actually swim in most of them. We have two oceans, the Rocky Mountains, the desert southwest and San Francisco, which is really another planet. But I am happy for the Finns because they don’t get much attention. And Finland is a fine place, although Newsweek is definitely overstating things. Unless I missed it, I don’t believe millions of people are sneaking across the Swedish border trying to take up residence in the paradise of Finland. Or am I wrong? — 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. ©2007 Bill O’Reilly.

To Sabrina Taylor, Tabitha Hall and Diane Blount, we say, “Bon appetit!” To shell out $90,000 for a barbecue and a second sleep-over at Dolly Parton’s Mountain Home, you deserve it. And you deserve it because you bid at last Saturday’s Evening of Elegance helped raise more than $158,000 benefiting the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation. The Thomas Foundation is one of the charities Sevierville-native Parton holds closest to her very generous philanthropic heart. She has long been a supporter of the late, longtime Sevier physician’s foundation and has raised in the two years she has donated the barbecue and sleep-over, $165,000. The money Taylor, Hall and Blount helped to raise last year has gone to help pay for things such as the construction of LeConte Medical Center and to help fund several local nonprofits that deal with health issues. We hope the women and their friends enjoy their barbecue with Dolly — the local health industry will certainly enjoy your generosity.

If you haven’t seen the Tennessee Smokies play this season, you need to get out to the stadium before it’s too late. The team fielded here this season by the Southern League affiliate of the Chicago Cubs has truly been exceptional in that it won its division title during the first half and appears to be coasting to the second-half crown with a week left. Normally, at this level, when a team is talented enough to win the first half, the organization raids the roster, promoting the better players to Triple A. The Cubs raided the roster — shortstop Starlin Castro and pitcher Andrew Casher are in the bigs and Castro is a contender for Rookie of the Year. Several others, including catcher Robinson Chirinos, are at Triple A. But Blake Lalli, Tony Campana and Brandon Guyer have stepped up, and Bill Dancy’s team hasn’t missed a beat. Only six regular-season home games remain before the playoffs. This is a team worth seeing.

Sevier’s seniors just got 9 new friends from SOS

You can never have too many friends — and Sevier County senior citizens just got nine more of them. Their names are Phillip and Kimberly Gurley, Diana and Frank Ferguson, Lynn Jordan, Gwen Ford, Harry Cundy, Pat Dettmer and Grace George. On Wednesday, Senior Outreach Sevier welcomed the nine onto their team — with the first eight having completed the organization’s required training. These nine people will join a dozen other volunteers already on the SOS staff. They visit seniors and provide information and resources to those in need, many who are isolated, homebound or referred by medical providers. SOS volunteers go into seniors’ homes to make sure their needs are being met. SOS Executive Director Lisa Yarber told the volunteers at a luncheon welcoming them earlier this week how critical their hours are. “We want to support you, to support the seniors — you’re the first line of defense out there.” For so many senior shut-ins, these volunteers are a godsend. Thank you.

Editor: Thank you so much for your recent coverage of the Senior Outreach Sevier (S.O.S.) program. Your June coverage resulted in nine individuals interested in making a difference in the lives of seniors in the county. We conducted our training and were able to graduate eight more people as Senior Outreach Sevier volunteers. We have a few others who will not be making visits, but want to make phone calls and send cards. Thank you for helping us increase the quality of life for the elderly in Sevier County.

Bigotry on display in those who oppose Muslim Center site

Editor: Non-biased/non-bigoted folks are saying that it’s too insensitive to build a Muslim Center so close to Ground Zero. When asked on “Good Morning America” Sunday, “How far away is enough?”, the person asked had no answer. What if the 9-11 perpetrators were of Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian or any other faith? Would there be the same outrage if there was a request of that faith to build a place of worship near Ground Zero?

Why is such bigotry passed off as being a concerned citizen? The same is true of the outrage about illegal immigrants. Politicians are stating that illegal immigrants are taking jobs that belong to legal citizens. If the legal citizens had gone out and applied for those jobs, they would have those jobs, but the reason they didn’t was because they felt those jobs were beneath them. Another argument was that illegal immigrants cause more crime, yet FBI statistics about crime along our southern border have gone down despite the continuing migration. It is way too easy to bash those who can’t speak up for themselves out of fear of reprisals. I pray for the day these gentle folks practice what they preach. Chuck Flammang Sevierville

PREP FOOTBALL

Seymour rally can’t overcome D-B lead GRAY, Tenn. — For the second year in a row, the Daniel Boone Trailblazers played opening day foils for the Seymour Eagles. But the Eagles didn’t go down without giving the state-ranked ‘Blazers a scare. After falling to Daniel Boone 17-0 early on, the feisty Eagles fought back to close the gap to just 17-14 in the opening minutes of the game’s final quarter. Senior QB Dustin Fain got the Eagles rolling, hitting fellow senior Cory Clark with an eightyard TD strike in the first play of the quarter. Just seconds later Kevin Kennedy recovered a fumble and took it 60 yards to get the Eagles within a field goal. But Daniel Boone’s Austin McLemore gave the ‘Blazers the spark they needed, breaking off a 50-yard run to set up a Cliff Sanders 17-yard rushing TD to get back in control 23-14. As the game entered clutch time a Seymour interception was returned 23 yards to set up Boone kicker Brandon Burkey for a 29-yard field goal to get the score to its final 26-14. “I think we got something out of this,” Seymour coach Jim Moore told the Johnson City Press. “I think we’ll be better next week because of this game. It was a good ballgame — Daniel Boone’s a good football team and our kids didn’t quit.”

Bears sharp; thump Govs 42-14 By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor MARYVILLE — Several questions lingered in the minds of many Smoky Bears fans Friday night heading into the team’s game with William Blount. How would new quarterback Danny Chastain handle the pressure of his first career start? How would offensive line coach Bill Galloway’s self-labeled Baby Bears do? Or what about that defensive line that even calm, cool and collected head coach Steve Brewer himself can get excited about?

There’s one easy way to answer all those questions with two numbers — 42 and 0. That was the score Sevier County led by after the first play from scrimmage in the game’s second half. The Smoky Bears dominated all three phases of the game Friday night at William Blount on their way to a 42-14 win that actually sounds closer than it really was, if that makes any sense. The Bears’ subs played the majority of the mercy-shortened second half, and didn’t add any points, but gave up 14 to the homestanding Governors.

Things went as close to perfect for the Smoky Bears in the first half as any purple-clad coach could have wished for. Aside from allowing a Governors’ first down on their first play from scrimmage, the Bears’ defense was an impenetrable wall. After that initial first down, the home team didn’t see another first down for the entire first half, and actually went into the locker room having lost 16 total yards since the opening play.

Smokies fall to Braves SEVIERVILLE — In a series defined by comebacks, the Tennessee Smokies fell one rally short in Friday night’s contest with the Mississippi Braves. A late three-run deficit was too much to overcome for the Smokies as they fell to the Braves, 7-4. The loss, in front of the 13th-largest crowd in Smokies Park history at 6,831, drops the Smokies to 5 1/2 games ahead of Huntsville in the Southern League North second-half race with 16 games to go. Friday night’s start mirrored that of the previous night, as Mississippi jumped to an early 1-0 lead thanks to a Mauro Gomez solo home run. The Braves added a second in the third on a fielding error by the Smokies’ Russ Canzler to go up 2-0. Tennessee cut the deficit to 2-1 in the fourth but could have had more. With two outs and a runner on second, Blake Lalli singled to right to plate Brandon Guyer and cut Mississippi’s lead to 2-1. After Canzler walked to put runners on first and second, Braves starter Erik Cordier (10-7) got Tony Thomas to hit a soft roller back to the mound for the third out of the inning. The Braves added runs in the fifth and sixth to go up 4-1 and would make the sixth inning Muschko’s last. On the night, he allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits, striking out five and walking one. The no-decision ended his five-start win streak. Down 4-1 in the sixth, the Smokies answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame to tie the game up at four. Blake Lalli’s 369-foot home run just cleared the wall in left-center to plate himself, Brett Jackson and Brandon Guyer. Lalli’s 2-for-3, fourRBI effort paced the Smokies offense. Momentum swung back to the Braves as they put three runs up on the board off reliever Ryan Buchter (7-2) in the top of the seventh to regain the lead at 7-4. Tennessee would not See SMOKIES, Page A9

G-P has easy time with Indians, wins 28-10 By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

G-P junior Hunter Meier forces a first-quarter fumble by Oneida Murphy Fair All-State running back Sam Woodard on Friday night at Dr. M.E. Thompson Field in Oneida.

ONEIDA — Two-hundred ninety-nine down, one to go. After a flat start Friday night at Dr. M.E. Thompson Field in Oneida, the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders took over the battle against the Indians in the second quarter and left no doubt en route to a 28-10 win over the Orange-and-White home team. Highlanders coach Benny Hammonds now has 299 career victories with G-P and will go for his 300th win — something only four other coaches in the state of Tennessee have ever done — next week at Cosby. “We kindly started out slow,” said Hammonds. “But we were playing a good football program with a good team. “It’s early, and we’re still making a lot of mistakes. But I was proud of the way the boys played. “We didn’t put together a strong four quarters, but you

have to give credit to Oneida because they never laid down and quit, and they kept coming at us.” After G-P built a 21-3 lead by intermission and made it 28-3 midway through the third quarter, Oneida made things a little more interesting in the fourth quarter. “One half doesn’t make a ball game, and the momentum kindly shifted in the second half,” said Hammonds. Oneida senior Murphy Fair All-State running back Sam Woodard — who was limited to 85 yards with a long run of 17 on the night — came up with his biggest play of the evening with a seven-yard TD burst through the 5-hole with 10:59 in regulation. Indians junior kicker Jarrett Lay connected on the PAT to cut it to 28-10. The G-P offense went threeand-out punt on the ensuing possession, but a bad snap to See HIGHLANDERS, Page A9

And then there was the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense. With Chastain firing on all cylinders, minus an early interception, and senior back Dakota Cogdill running with authority like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never shown before, the Purple and White were nearly unstoppable. In front of a great Sevier County caravan of fans, Chastain repeatedly hit receivers Bryant Gilson, Dillion Cate and Brett Pippin, and when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t passing, he was scrambling for first downs that were

undoubtedly maddening to the hometown crowd. The Bears struck quickly on their first offensive possession, as Chastain took a first-and-10 option from midfield to the house. Jared Baxter banged in the extra point kick, and the Bears led 7-0. As the time was wearing off the first period clock the Bears were at it again. A nine-play drive, highlighted by a firstdown runs from Chastain and junior Bubba Floyd and two more first-down strikes though the air to Gilson got the Bears into striking distance. A hand-off to Dakota Cogdill at the 13-yard line resulted in the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second TD of the night. Again, Baxter added the PAT for a 14-0 lead. Just 12 seconds later the

Bears upped the ante to 21-0. A looping Baxter kickoff toward the Bears sideline was mishandled by the Govsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special teamers and recovered by Sevier County at the William Blount 24. From there it took just one play for Chastain to find a streaking Pippin in the back of the end zone for his first passing touchdown of the season. A big tackle-for-loss from Jake Reppert and a sack from Thomas Hamilton limited the Governors to a three-and-out on their next possession, and the Sevier County offense was at it again. This time it was an 11-play, 80-yard drive for the Bears, capped by a one-yard TD plunge from Cogdill. The senior back set up his own score just

moments earlier, bulldozing 20 yards down to the goal line before he was brought down by a band of Governors. Another Baxter extra point moved the score to 28-0 with 5:21 remaining in the first half. As if things couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any worse for WIlliam Blount, the Governors had a punt blocked on their next possession, giving the Bears yet another cakewalk to the end zone. Senior Tyler Wischer used his rangy physique to get high into the air and bash the punterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt. Fellow senior Josh Johnson came up with the ball and had a celebratory leap into the end zone for the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fifth touchdown of the first half. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the score would remain until

halftime. The Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final touchdown of the night came on the first play from scrimmage in the second half. Luke Trentham, a shifty sophomore running back, returned the halfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening kickoff to the William Blount 13-yard line, much to the pleasure of the Sevier County faithful. One play later Pippin found himself in the end zone for his second score of the night, this time on a wide receiver end-around. With the score standing at 42-0 and the clock running full-time in accordance to TSSAA mercy rules, coach Steve Brewer went with his second units. While the offense didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play badly, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score any more points. The defensive subs gave

up 14 in mop up time, which Brewer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too pleased with. But the coach will definately take the win, and afterwards he congratulated the starters for a job welldone. Chastain finished the night 10-of-13 passing for 141 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He also rushed for 92 yards to lead the team. Bryant Gilson was his primary target though the air, catching four balls for 66 yards. The Bears limited William Blount to just six first downs in the game, while tallying 14 of their own to go along with 348 total yards. Next week the Bears will start their home slate with Halls High School on Friday night.

HIGHLANDERS

with plays when they needed to,â&#x20AC;? said Hammonds. Oneida took a 3-0 lead by the end of the first quarter after Lay connected deadcenter on a 35-yard field goal attempt. But the Highlanders, wearing their road white tops on solid-blue pants, responded with a 12-play, 80-yard drive to take their first lead of the night. The big play on the scoring drive was a 32-yard aerial connection deep down the left side from senior QB Tye Marshall to senior WR Ron Durbin to the Oneida 14. Durbin later called the play a mistake because he came down with the ball too close to the sidelines and ended up stepping out of bounds instead of scoring. No matter, because four plays later on 1st-and-Goal, Alabama senior transfer RB Walter Barber broke

free up the middle through a crowd of Indians for a four-yard TD with 7:04 in the first half. G-P junior kicker Brandon Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick was true, giving the Highlanders a 7-3 lead. And despite the shaky fourth-quarter, the Blueand-Gold squad never looked back. On the first play of the ensuing possession, Oneida fumbled a handoff exchange, and G-P junior Ty Smith was Johnny Onthespot for the Highlanders and came up with the loose ball at the Indians 30 with 7:04 in the half. The Blue and Gold capitalized immediately on the next play when Marshall connected deep down the left side to Durbin on the same play call from the first scoring possession. This time, Durbin kept some space between himself and the sideline and jumped over Oneida soph-

omore DB Noah Duncan, coming down with the ball for a 30-yard TD with 6:57 in the game. Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT again was true, making it 14-3 G-P. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the first play when I made a mistake by getting too close to the sideline, we corrected it on the sideline and talked about it in the huddle,â&#x20AC;? said Durbin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second time, I stayed inside more and Tye threw me a good ball, and I just went up and got it. We found the weakness in their defense.â&#x20AC;? Hammonds liked the adjustment and the catch by his senior receiver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big play with Durbin really helped us,â&#x20AC;? said Hammonds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said all along weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bigplay offense, and I think that showed in the second quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ron is an athlete, and he makes plays that normal receivers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make.

senior punter Dillon Reagan led to a turnover on downs with 9:47 remaining, giving the Indians a first down at the Highlanders 32. Oneida moved it for a 2nd-and-Goal from the 3, but Highlanders senior lineman Michael Patton came up with a huge tackle-for-loss on Woodard with 5:47 remaining, making it third down from the 6 and cutting the Indians momentum. On the next play, senior Ryan Taylor came up with a leaping interception at the G-P 2 with 5:21 remaining, sealing the deal for the Blue and Gold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was proud of the way our boys hung in there tough and came through

TENNESSEE TITANS FOOTBALL

Changes all around for Titans on linebacker unit By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No unit on the Tennessee Titans has seen more changes, or gone through more turmoil, than the linebacking corps this year. And the changes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over yet. One starter from last year is now with the New York Giants. Another is recovering from shoulder surgery and a hip problem and still on the physically unable to perform list. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new veteran starter, learning the nuances of the Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, and a potential starter who will be sitting out the first four games under a league suspension. Despite the turnover, Middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the one sure returning starter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sees a strong unit filled with fast, athletic players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they pick it up mentally, this linebacking corps can be something special,â&#x20AC;? he said. One thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain. It will be very different from last season when the Titans ranked 28th in yards allowed per game, including next to last in yards passing per game. Outside linebacker Keith Bulluck started 127 straight games during his 10 years

e l l vi

r e i v

here before tearing his left ACL. His contract was up, and both he and the Titans disagree over whether the team that drafted him in the first round in 2000 over how much interest they ever had in bringing him back. Gerald McRath said a player like Bulluck can never be replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has made his mark in this community and on this team and in this organization. Take away his leadership and his traits and the way that he played the game and hope to live by the standards that he set. You can only hope to push better and create your own identity. Be the best person that you can be,â&#x20AC;? McRath said. Bulluck signed with the Giants late last month, and his locker finally was given to Will Witherspoon. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a veteran going into his ninth NFL season after spending last year with St. Louis and Philadelphia. He sees a hard-working group of linebackers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always on the same page, and we communicate well no matter if you have a question about what you should do, what you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, how you see something? We spend a lot of time in our meeting room ... just trying to get the little details together,â&#x20AC;? Witherspoon said.

This July 31, 2010, photo shows Tennessee Titans linebacker Stephen Tulloch (55) during NFL football training camp in Nashville. No unit on the Tennessee Titans has seen more changes, or gone through more turmoil, than the linebacking corps this year. And the changes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over yet. Thornton said in June he expected to be ready sometime during training camp. Well, the Titans wrap up camp Aug. 26, and Thornton is doing more without being

cleared yet to join the active roster. Last season ended early for him, and he had surgery to repair a shoulder and pectoral problem. He is a key veteran for

this defense. But Thorntonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due $4.35 million this season, which might make him too expensive to keep considering McRath appears ready to start in his spot. The Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest problem there, however, is McRath must sit the first four games after dropping his appeal for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation if Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ready, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be different,â&#x20AC;? coach Jeff Fisher said Friday of his linebacking group. Fisher called the suspension difficult for both McRath and the Titans. They have been working McRath both with the firstteam defense and the backups through camp to make sure other potential starters like Colin Allred and Jamie Winborn get enough work as well before McRath rejoins the team Oct. 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the type of worker he is, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate having any problems,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tulloch, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading tackler in 2009. He worked out on his own in Miami, including trying to sharpen the pass coverage skills that had been seen as an area for improvement. He wanted a long-term deal going into his fifth season, but the final year of the

leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor agreement allowed the Titans to give him a one-year tender at $2.52 million. Tulloch has refused to dwell on the business side, determined to earn that new contract with his play this season. He arrived on time for camp and said he expects great things this season. If the linebackers needed added incentive, Fisher wrote the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stats on the board at the start of training camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was sickening to see where we finished last season. Our run defense was top 10 but our pass defense wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where it needed to be,â&#x20AC;? Tulloch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As linebackers and a unit, we have to work on the small things to get our defense where it needs to be. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to carry our weight, and this team could be something special.â&#x20AC;? Notes: CB Ryan Mouton (groin) returned to practice Friday after sitting out the last four days. ... WR Justin Gage (thumb) sat out again along with CB Cortland Finnegan (groin). CB Tye Hill, who left early Thursday, was back on the field and had an interception. DE Jacob Ford didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish and had ice wrapped on the back of his right leg for soreness.

Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick made it 28-3 at the time. Barber finished his Highlanders debut with 64 yards rushing on nine attempts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 7.1-yard average â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a 28-yard long scamper for a first down on the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final clock-killing drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walter is getting better,â&#x20AC;? said Hammonds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got all the potential in the world, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just got to keep working. He can improve in every phase of the game, and hopefully he continues to keep working to improve and get better each week. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big plus for us before the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over.â&#x20AC;? Reagan led G-P in rushing with 90 yards on 18 totes with a score, and Phillips chipped in with 47 yards on 10 runs before leaving the contest in the second half with a dinged-up knee. Marshall was 6-of-11 passing for 106 yards, no picks and a TD. Durbin led the receivers with 69 yards on three receptions, and Taylor added two catches for 27 yards.

After forcing Oneida into a three-and-out punt to start the second half, G-P put together its final scoring drive of the night ... a seven-play, 36-yard march capped by Barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second four-yard TD run of the night with 6:53 in the third.

Advice

Siblings need to intercede in mother’s hoarding habit

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My three grown sisters and I have a widowed mother with a severe hoarding problem. Due to numerous roof leaks and animal infestations, her drywall and ceilings are collapsing. When her neighborhood association took legal action against her, we managed to get a new roof installed. It was the first time in years that we’d had a glimpse of the inside of her house. The trash, clutter and other “junk” (unworn clothing with tags still on, rotting food containers, bags of groceries never put away, refuse thrown in piles, etc.) reach heights of six feet. A small “cow path” exists to navigate from room to room. We have tried interventions and counseling, but Mom refuses to acknowledge the problem. We have offered to help her clean or find another place to stay. She says it is her business and we are to leave her alone. We do not have a clear picture of Mom’s personal finances, but we know the mortgage and monthly utilities are being paid. The furnace, air conditioner and water heater, however, are no longer in working order. When we get together for family outings, her clothes smell of mold and mildew. She cannot shower in her home, as every bathroom is completely unusable except for one toilet. We fear she may one day fall and be unable to call for help. Mom has two part-time jobs and spends a great deal of time traveling. She doesn’t suffer from dementia and so is not considered a danger to herself. We all live close by. Should we continue to offer assistance? Should we seek legal guardian-

ship or just honor her wishes to stay out of her business? — Frustrated Siblings Dear Siblings: Your mother’s hoarding has reached epic levels, and “honoring her wishes” could cause her great harm. This is a form of mental illness, and Mom needs professional help. Please contact the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation (ocfoundation.org/hoarding) at P.O. Box 961029, Boston, MA 02196 for information and a referral to a therapist who specializes in these disorders. Dear Annie: During the really warm months, we open our windows in the evening to cool our home. The problem is, our neighbors like to sit out on their porch and smoke. Every few weeks, they invite a horde of chain-smoking friends over. Their porch is 15 feet from the only windows that open on that side of our home. Their smoking is very bothersome, and the next day, I find butts flicked onto my property. We have a neighborly friendship, and our kids play together. I know they have tried, unsuccessfully, to stop smoking. I have thought of telling them I am allergic to cigarette smoke and asking that they please smoke on the other side of their porch, but I simply can’t find the right words to broach the subject. Any advice?

— Choking in S.W. Washington Dear Choking: You don’t have to claim allergies, but you can certainly tell them quite honestly that you have a sensitivity to cigarette smoke and ask that they please puff away on the side that doesn’t face your home. You also can invest in a fan, an air purifier and other inexpensive remedies and see if those help. Dear Annie: “No Open Casket” said she thinks people don’t look “wonderful” in their caskets. They look dead. The last time I saw my father in the hospital, he was dying of cancer and looked absolutely horrible. At his wake, I had to force myself to view him in the casket, but when I saw him, he looked so peaceful. All his pain was gone. If I had not gone to the viewing, my memories would be of him in his suffering. So my vote is for an open casket. — Better Memories Dear Better: This is such a personal decision that everyone should let their family members know their preference. Thanks for sharing yours.
