By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — City crews are working today to replace a problem drainage pipe that has caused flooding in the Kings Hills area, although the effort comes too late to save at least one family thousands of dollars and some priceless memories. Kings Hills Boulevard was closed Tuesday as heavy machinery started digging up a culvert that runs under the road. That corrugated metal tube, which will be replaced over the next couple of days, has become more of a dented oval than a circle in recent months. That’s caused water to back up into nearby yards.

Basically my property is useless at this point.” The issue has plagued DeSear and others in the neighborhood for some time now, with the collapsed pipe swirling muddy water out of the ditch it serves and onto nearby properties and roads.

Despite a sour economy, unstable gasoline prices and the threat of a boycott of local tourism sites by coal miners, AAA of East Tennessee is predicting the area will have a boom year for Labor Day weekend visitors. The travel group’s annual forecast for the threeday break that traditionally marks the end of summer calls for the third-largest total of folks hitting the road in that weekend of this decade. The organization’s estimate calls for 39.1 million Americans to make a trip of at least 50 miles. Though that would be a decrease of about 13.3 percent from last year’s total, it’s still good enough to beat all but two years since 2000. It may even be good enough to show up even other major summer travel holidays, AAA of East Tennessee Director of Public Affairs Don Lindsey said. “Although we’re seeing a decline from last year’s Labor Day travelers, AAA is expecting more people to travel compared to this year’s fourth of July weekend,” he said. “Travelers are going to take advantage of travel bargains and gas prices cheaper than last year.” Those lower fuel rates are expected to prompt 32.9 million of those holiday tourists to take to the nation’s roads to reach their destinations. On the trip, they’re expected to travel an average of 645 miles, spending $968 along the way. That could be good news for Sevier
SEVIERVILLE — Catlettsburg Elementary School is in its third week of classes, but a large part of the building has yet to be completed. Principal Jerry Wear said he is “hopeful” that the school’s science lab, media center, art room, nurses’ station and four kindergarten classrooms will be finished the week following Labor Day. Completion for its gymnasium will be later, possibly in three weeks. “(The construction) really hasn’t affected us,” Wear said. “Everything is still happening — it’s just not happening where it needs to be.” The Catlettsburg Round Table, the K-8 school’s parent and teacher organization, will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday in the cafeteria. The group will discuss matters such as plans for its playground. See PROGRESS, Page A4

Sevierville after-hours clinic sees steady flow of patients By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Dr. Cara Connors and Dr. Kristie Young have seen a steady stream of patients at the University of Tennessee Medical Center After-Hours Clinic in Sevierville since it opened in March. The clinic at 1108 Fox Meadows Blvd., off of Middle Creek Road, was the third of UT Medical Center’s after-hours clinics to open; one is located on Northshore Drive in Knoxville, another on Chapman Highway in Seymour. “There was not a lot of urgent care opportunities in Sevierville, so this was a good start,” said Young, a Knox County native. “We’ve had a lot of good growth, and we’re hoping to open weeknights. We both co-manage the practice, so one of us is always available.” The clinic is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. “It’s been nice to be able to serve the community more,” Connors said. “The after-hours appointments are not as extensive as we get during the day. A sixhour shift goes by very quickly compared to a 10to 12-hour shift.” Young said the after-
h o u r s clinic is to serve patients who are acutely ill. The doctors may perform Young stitches, staples a n d simple abscesses and deal with cases such as s t r e p throat and Connors mono. “We’re trying to take some pressure off of the ER, and we’d like to have a good working relationship with them,” Young said. She added that the clinic is open to anyone, including patients from other practices. However, UT Medical Center requires its after-hours clinics serve children only age 2 and up. “We’ve both seen patients that are pretty new to the community,” Connors said. “Many of them have found us from our Web site.” When Connors was young she believed she would be a veterinarian — until she had a change of heart in high school. “I told my mom I want-

Taxidermist avoids charges proper licensing. When Young was in court inn June, attorney Ross Gray told Vance that Young had asked to dismiss him and to act as his own attorney. Young, however, wouldn’t speak when Vance asked to talk to him beyond saying he was “not entering (the) jurisdiction voluntarily” as a bailiff led him to the podium. Because of that, Vance left Gray on the case. Tuesday, Gray and prosecutors announced they

TWRA will be in charge of determining whether to return each of the items agents confiscated.

ed to be a physician, so my patients could talk back,” she said with a smile. She did her residency at UT Medical Center, and her parents have lived in the area for “about a dozen years. “It’s worked out well.” Young, who did her residency with Connors at UT Medical Center, has also known since she was young that she would work in the medical field. “My grandmother was a nurse midwife and she would tell me stories,” she said. “I also took a future doctors program in middle school, where we toured the hospital.” While Young grew up in Knox County, her father is a Sevier County native. “My husband and I love the mountains and we also love the lake, so this is the perfect setting.” Connors said that although the flu season hasn’t officially arrived, she and Young have both already seen cases. “It’s about time for people to get their shots,” she said. Feedback from the after-hours clinic patients has been positive, Connors added. “I definitely think our presence is needed in the community,” she said.

Inmate blames mix-up for probation violation Home burns while Yazel in custody By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — An inmate told Judge Richard Vance on Tuesday that he hadn’t realized he had surpassed a deadline for contacting the probation office when he was arrested for violating his probation.
Duggars expecting No. 19 Family’s vacation here during spring was on their show LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — No. 19 caught Michelle Duggar by surprise. The 42-year-old mom of 18 noticed that she wasn’t losing weight — even though she and husband Jim Bob were on Weight Watchers — and her youngest child, 8-monthold Jordyn-Grace, was fussing while nursing. So she took a pregnancy test. “And lo and behold, I was just pleasantly surprised that this was positive,� Duggar said Tuesday. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar live in Tontitown, Ark., and are featured with their family on TLC’s “18 Kids and Counting.� The Duggar family spent time in Sevier County this spring, staying at a cabin that had nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms, took in many sights, had a personal meeting with Dolly Parton and had their own float in Dolly’s annual homecoming parade in Pigeon Forge. The Duggars’ trip to the area was featured on one of their episodes.
By the time he’d told the judge, he’d gotten news far worse than any Vance could have given him. Edmund Yazel’s house burned to the ground Tuesday while he was in jail. His wife told Vance that they lost all their possessions in the fire. She hadn’t seen him at the Shady Grove residence when the blaze occurred, she said, because she’d moved in with a friend
after their power was cut off. They’d been unable to keep up with their bills while her husband was in custody. “We’ve been married 26 years almost,� she said. “Everything we had was in that home.� Yazel was on probation from a theft charge. He was arrested after he didn’t report to the probation office within the 72 hour window provided

“We’re getting the equipment ready and developing the site,” Wear said, adding that landscaping would be done in the fall. Catlettsburg’s 310 students recently selected their school mascot, the Catlettsburg Coyotes. “Each classroom voted, and (coyotes) was pretty overwhelming,” said Wear, who added that knights, cavaliers, wolverines and cyclones were also choices. “We’re all practicing our
howls now.” The school is searching for a good mascot design and welcomes any artists to submit their ideas. Wear is also looking for a picture of the original Catlettsburg School, which closed in the 1950s, to hang in the school’s lobby. “It’s a big challenge not having everything at our fingertips, but everyone seems to be settling in well,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of our faculty, and we have good parent support.”

Best-selling Bible to undergo first revision in 25 years By ERIC GORSKI AP Religion Writer The top-selling Bible in North America will undergo its first revision in 25 years, modernizing the language in some sections and promising to reopen a contentious debate about changing gender terms in the sacred text. The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals, will be revised to reflect changes in English usage and advances in
Biblical scholarship, it was announced Tuesday. The revision is scheduled to be completed late next year and published in 2011. “We want to reach English speakers across the globe with a Bible that is accurate, accessible and that speaks to its readers in a language they can understand,� said Keith Danby, global president and CEO of Biblica, a Colorado Springs, Colo.based Christian ministry that holds the NIV copyright.
But past attempts to remake the NIV for contemporary audiences in different editions have been plagued by controversies about gender language that have pitted theological conservatives against each other. The changes did not make all men “people� or remove male references to God, but instead involved dropping gender-specific terms when translators judged that the original text didn’t intend it. So in some verses, references to “sons
of God� became “children of God,� for example. Supporters say genderinclusive changes are more accurate and make the Bible more accessible, but critics contend they twist meaning or smack of political correctness. Acknowledging past missteps, the NIV’s overseers are promising that this time, the revision process will be more transparent and that they will actively promote what they describe as a long-held practice of inviting input
New rules coming to fight pilots’ fatigue? WASHINGTON (AP) — Crowded skies and exhausted pilots are a bad mix, the airline industry and pilot unions agree, but they’re struggling over what to do about it. The airlines want to schedule some pilots with less-taxing flights — fewer takeoffs and landings — but for longer, not shorter, hours in the cockpit. The unions say they won’t agree to more hours for those pilots in exchange for fewer hours for pilots who fly as many as a half dozen short flights a day or take off at odd times. That was the main sticking point in an otherwise harmonious effort over the past month and a half to rewrite flying-time rules that in many cases are a half-century old and predate recent scientific findings concerning fatigue. The advisory committee on pilot fatigue was expected to deliver its recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration late
Tuesday. Committee members said the FAA had asked them not to make their recommendations public. Concerned by the possibility that pilot fatigue has contributed to fatal crashes, some members of Congress have been pressing for changes. There are likely to be at least three sets of recommendations. Labor, passenger airlines and cargo carriers all have their own lists, participants said. “There will be more than one sheet of music coming out,� said Russ Leighton, director of aviation safety for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. It will be up to FAA to write the final tune, he said. Although Federal Aviation Administrator Randy Babbitt has promised to go over those recommendations swiftly and turn them into a formal proposal by the FAA, the process will at a minimum take months
to complete. Current rules say pilots can be scheduled for up to 16 hours on duty and up to eight hours of actual flight time in a day, with a minimum of eight hours off in between. The rules don’t take into account that it is probably more tiring for regional airline pilots to fly five or six short legs in seven hours than it is for a pilot with a major airline to fly eight hours across the Atlantic to Europe with only one takeoff and landing. Finding ways to prevent pilot fatigue has stymied federal regulators and the airline industry for decades. The National Transportation Safety Board has been recommending since 1990 that rules on how many hours pilots can be scheduled to work be updated to reflect modern research and take into account early starting times and frequent takeoffs and landings.
Mexico evacuates thousands ahead of Cat 3 storm LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Heavy winds, battering waves and bands of intense rain pummeled residents and tourists in this vacation resort as Hurricane Jimena, one of the largest hurricanes this year, neared the coast on Tuesday. The center of the roaring hurricane, which weakened to a still threatening
Category 3, was on course to pass west of Los Cabos late Tuesday or early today, close enough to punish the picturesque beaches and fishing villages that fringe the harsh desert. Ashley Legeyt, 62, a retiree from British Columbia who lives in Cabo San Lucas, pushed through the oncoming

waterlogged studs. In the meantime, the DeSears have been paying for their temporary stay in a hotel and now a Gatlinburg condo. “I was able to get in to the house by boat — one of our neighbors has a boat — to get some clothes and essentials,� DeSear says. “This kind of thing really makes you realize what you really need to function in your daily life.� The flooding got so bad last Thursday the city was forced to close Kings Hills Boulevard, apparently drawing the attention of city leaders. That’s something DeSear says he wasn’t able to do in months of complaining to City Hall. “I think they don’t even know what the problem is,� DeSear says. “It’s like no one’s listening. I called (Public Works Director) Mark Miller and (City Manager) Earlene Teaster

there about a minute and a half after my wife and my son did. She had already called me, hysterical. It was like a lake out there. It really bothered my son. He talks about it over and over. He tells everybody about it and he wants to see picture of it over and over. It really scared him.� The water claimed the family’s garage and did significant damage in at least one room. Fortunately, the property is covered by flood insurance underwritten by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, thanks to the city’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. That policy is paying for repairs to the house, which have already half-filled a construction Dumpster parked in the family’s yard with soggy drywall and Chapter 7 •

That may be true, but I wish they’d just make an effort.� While DeSear welcomed the news Tuesday that work had begun on the pipe, he knows it’s come too late to save him a lot of loss and headaches.

from scholars and readers. The NIV was first published in 1978 and more than 300 million NIV Bibles are in print worldwide; its publishers and distributors say the translation accounts for 30 percent of Bibles sold in North America. The Committee on Bible Translation, an independent group of conservative scholars and translators formed in 1965 to create and revise the NIV, will oversee the new revision.
An effort earlier this decade to create a separate version of the NIV that used more genderinclusive language in an attempt to reach a younger audience fell flat with groups that felt it crossed the line. That edition, Today’s New International Version, will cease publication once the new-look NIV is released, said Moe Girkins, president of Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Zondervan, its North American publisher.

long weekend, people will be able to, hopefully, stay longer,� Sevier County Economic Development Council Director Allen Newton said. “We certainly want and need a good fall, and would love to kick it off with a really great Labor Day weekend. I am very hopeful we’re going to have a good weekend.� Newton said he believes favorable weather forecasts, the first football game at the University of Tennessee for the season and efforts by local businesses to improve the value offered here will work together to attract visitors. “Our businesses and chambers of commerce are doing everything they possibly can to attract people,� Newton said. “We have great meal rates, affordable lodging – our businesses have done what they need to do to adjust to the economy and to continue to make this an attractive destination.� Though it may seem very specific for a forecast, the information is based on fairly stable economic research, surveys and travel trends compiled by Boston-based consulting firm IHS Global Insight. AAA has been issuing such estimates for 20 years.

County, with local officials often pointing out the area’s close proximity to a majority of the country’s population. For those who do make it to the Smokies for their last summer hurrah, they’re likely to shell out 47 percent of their cash for transportation and lodging costs; 22 percent of it for food; a mirror amount for shopping, entertainment and recreation; and four percent for an undefined “other.� Once travelers arrive here, many will find relatively low gas prices compared to where they’re coming from, while the departure from last year’s rates will be stunning. Gatlinburg’s average fuel cost of $2.38 is $1.34 cheaper than for the same time last year, while motorists in Pigeon Forge were paying an average of $2.40 at the beginning of this week, $1.20 lower than 2008. Sevierville stations were charging around $2.39 per gallon, about $1.16 less than the year before, and those in Seymour offered rates averaging $2.39, a decrease of $1.09 from the previous year. “Obviously, we are a short driving distance for a lot of folks and, with the
“Everything’s gone at this point — our wedding photos, our pictures of our son growing up, his christening gowns — it’s all ruined,� DeSear says. “The times before this it’s not been this bad. This time, it was a major loss.�

commentary
Containing costs key to any plan By PHIL ROE Member of Congress Throughout the summer, I’ve heard from a lot of people concerned about the president’s socalled health care reform agenda, or H.R. 3200, proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives. Whenever I turn on the television, I see the same concerns being raised throughout Tennessee and all over the country. Health care reform will affect all of us, and regardless of one’s party affiliation, everyone wants his or her voice heard on the matter. At roundtable discussions and at town hall meetings in East Tennessee, I have personally heard your discontent and distress over this health care legislation. Just recently the president was thought to have changed his mind about including the public option because of statements he made at a town hall meeting. However, the next day the White House communicated that the public option was still preferred by the president, and he was not taking it off the table. How do the American people feel about this? Roe According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, the public confidence in President Obama’s leadership has declined sharply over the summer because of intensifying opposition to his preferred health care overhaul. Among all Americans surveyed, 49 percent express confidence that Obama will make the right decisions for the country, down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark in his presidency. Forty-nine percent say they think he will be able to spearhead significant improvements, down nearly 20 percentage points from before he took office. What has been missing from the health care debate is the issue of medical malpractice reform, which in my view is one of the key steps we need to take to control costs. The president’s efforts have focused on controlling provider payments, which will lower costs but also limit the availability of physicians. By addressing medical malpractice reform, we can eliminate the hidden costs of defensive medicine and slow the growth of health insurance premiums because of slower growth in medical malpractice insurance. Containing costs and capping runaway spending we see in Congress is vital, and neglecting to contain costs in a health care bill or any other piece of legislation will be detrimental. The president has stated his preference for H.R. 3200 to be deficit-neutral over the next 10 years, but this obscures the more concerning issue that after 10 years, the program will cause unsustainable deficits that will either force significant rationing or significant tax increases. Why do deficits matter? Well, the Congressional Budget Office on Aug. 25 released deficit figures that showed $7.1 trillion of new debt over the next 10 years, and that’s before the president’s health care proposal is added. When the Office of Management and Budget — the Administration’s own budget office — calculated the deficit estimates and took into account the effects of the president’s policies, they estimated $9 trillion of new debt over the next 10 years. Clearly, that is simply something this country cannot afford to do. We saw this happen in Tennessee with TennCare, which almost bankrupted the state. These figures further are evidence that spending has rapidly run out of control in Congress — placing a high burden on our children and grandchildren. We are creating tremendous debt that will only further increase if this trilliondollar health legislation is pushed through Congress. These projections are a high threat to our economic and national security. Congress needs to immediately rein in the spending and start acting more responsibly. I want to see true reform in Congress, including health care and runaway spending. One other concern I have about the legislation as written is the president’s insistence that those of us who believe his plan will increase the number of abortions is “false” and his charge that this concern is being spread by “people who are bearing false witness.” It was disappointing that the president would respond in such an inaccurate manner. In fact, the nonpartisan website FactCheck.org looked into both sides claim and found that the president wasn’t being up front. I encourage you to read the report at http:// www.factcheck.org/2009/08/abortion-whichside-is-fabricating.

A taxing problem Pigeon Forge needs to resolve conflict so it can fund the schools as it — and voters — intended In the popular movie of 2000, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” the three fugitive lead characters find themselves trapped in a barn with no back door and the entire local police force at the front. One of the men comments that the trio is “In a tight spot.” City leaders in Pigeon Forge have found themselves in their own tight spot recently. The metaphorical barn that’s trapping them is state law, while it’s the voters’ intent knocking at the door. Earlier this year, local voters approved a quarter-percent increase in the sales tax with the stipulation on the ballot that the additional money would go directly to school system projects. However, Pigeon Forge leaders recently found out that state law seems to forbid giving the extra revenue to the school system if it is generated in the city’s Tourism Development Zone (TDZ). That’s according to Department of Revenue chief Ed Eldridge. With the help of state officials, Pigeon Forge leaders set a base line for sales tax collection in the TDZ in 2007, establishing the mark of current collections for that time. All money up to that amount from the zone is treated as regular tax money, split among the state, city and school system.
However, any additional revenue from sales tax collected in the TDZ goes to the city, with a state law stipulation that the money be used to pay back debt on projects to improve the area, like construction of new roads. Because of that, Eldridge says city officials can’t turn over the extra .25 percent to the schools as the voters want them to do. Further, city attorney Jim Gass says even if the city does give the money to the schools, the state could force the school system to reimburse the city. Now the city faces a real tight spot: Comply with the wishes of voters who approved the extra sales tax because of its intended use, or comply with a directive from a state official who says the city can’t do that. “We’re in the middle here; we’re in a position to be vilified,” Pigeon Forge Mayor Keith Whaley says. He’s right. People may not accept the inherent subtleties of this conflict. They might only see the city not going along with the wishes of the voters. The solution, apparently, is either ignore what the state says or get some local legislation passed next year that would free up the city to do what it said it wanted to do, and make it possible to fund the schools as intended. This may not be so easy, as many leg-
islators in Tennessee resent the special privilege given to Sevier County cities through the creation of special commercial districts like the TDZ and the Central Business Improvement Districts. There won’t be any more of them. Asking legislators to amend the state law so many of them dislike could be a challenge, but it’s worth trying. For now, it seems likely City Commission members will pass a resolution dictating that the extra sales tax money go to the schools, whether it’s collected in the TDZ or outside it. They’re also hoping to get an opinion on the matter from the state’s attorney general. It’s a move other local municipalities seem to have made, with their resolutions ignoring the difference in collections in those special zones. There’s no easy solution to the problem. The city can’t violate state law, but it also must respect the will of the voters in a very specifically worded referendum. That scene from the movie ends with a young boy crashing into the barn in his father’s car, explaining he’s going to “r-u-n-n o-f-t” (run off) and spiriting the fugitives away. The end of Pigeon Forge’s “tight spot” might not come so dramatically, but let’s hope someone can swoop in with a fix.

Sevier continues tradition of honoring our veterans
P u bli c f or u m
Editor: I would like to thank Ripley’s Aquarium for their continued support. They have helped us honor our veterans on Veterans Day for several years and their enthusiasm just keeps increasing.
Sevier County has been having Veterans Day ceremonies since the early 1970s. Gold Star mothers and veterans lay a wreath at the county memorial plaque on Veterans Day and again on Memorial Day. Names of the Sevier County veterans deceased this year are solemnly read, followed by Taps. This ritual at the Sevier County Courthouse has been conducted for at least
40 years and is coordinated by our Sevier County veterans service officer. A dozen veterans participate in their uniforms (originals dating from the 1940s to the present). We are proud to continue honoring our Sevier County veterans every Veterans Day and every Memorial Day. Ray Gray, USAF, Retired Sevierville

Who is the best? County golf tournament will provide the answer By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Pigeon Forge sophomore Chase McCown, here teeing off on 14 Tuesday, finished second in the county tournament last year to then-senior Andrew Ramsey of Seymour and should be among the top finishers again.
SEVIERVILLE — High school golfers from around Sevier County met Tuesday at Eagle’s Landing Golf Club for the first round of the McNelly-Whaley Sevier County Golf Tournament. Returning favorites included two-time girls’ county champ Katie Mitchell of Sevier County, and last year’s runner-up on the boys’ side, Chase McCown of Pigeon Forge. After one round of play, both Mitchell and McCown are tops on their respective leaderboards, with Pigeon Forge senior Logan Baker tied for the boys’ lead. The combined efforts of Baker and McCown also have the Tigers’ team one stroke ahead of the Sevier County Bears, led by J.P. Caylor and Taylor Williamson, who each shot 40. Gatlinburg-Pittman’s team is just three strokes behind Sevier County, as the tournament is shaping up to be a dandy. Shade Treadway’s 37 and Jake Jackson’s 41 helped keep the Highlanders in contention. Seymour is in fourth place by 18 strokes despite

a great effort from Justice Murphy, who turned in a team-best round of 38. Mitchell’s score of 34 in the first round has her nine strokes ahead of her nearest competition, and has her team eight strokes ahead of Seymour.

PREP GRIDIRON
Can G-P be great under TSSAA’s new realignment? By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman gridiron Highlanders are 2-0 to start the 2009 season, defeating the Oneida Indians and the Cosby Eagles, but just how good is the Blue-and-Gold squad this year and will they be able to match up against the teams in their new and tougher district? These are questions more than a few people have asked heading into this season. These are questions that have yet to be answered despite a promising 2-0 start. And with G-P facing an off week this Friday, these are questions that won’t be answered immediately. G-P has enjoyed a 7-6 win over the top-tier Class-A Oneida Indians, who finished 13-1 last season, and a 37-0 romp over the quality Class-A Cosby Eagles, who finished with 9-2 and 8-3 records two of the past three years. How that translates to G-P performance in the new District 3-AA against the likes of Austin-East, Carter, Fulton, Gibbs, Union County and Pigeon Forge remains to be seen, but some of the flack the Highlanders have heard for playing Class A opponents to start this season is undeserved, especially when teams from samesized schools refused to play them. “In our situation, it’s hard for us to get a schedule playing against schools our own size,” said 38thyear G-P head football coach Benny Hammonds. “Over the years, we’ve had success playing schools our size, and all coaches feel the responsibility to schedule games they feel they can be competitive in.
Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press
The kilts were out in full force for the G-P Highlanders 37-0 win over visiting Cosby Eagles last Friday night at Hammonds Field. “So when we left our old (Watauga) district, not one team over there wanted to play us (this season), and that’s understandable from their side. “But for us, you just don’t get to pick and choose who you’d like to play. Scheduling is a tough ordeal, and you just don’t always get to work it out like you’d like to. If you could do it like in the SEC, when you schedule games six or seven years in advance, that’s one thing. But in high school, when you’ve had a good season
and coaches know how you’ve fared, it’s hard to get teams on your own level to play when you’re in our situation.” Under the new and controversial TSSAA format, G-P — a school with 590 high school students — is a Class-AA squad until the postseason, when they will become a 3A contender, assuming they qualify for the postseason under TSSAA’s foggy new selection system. Based on the size of Gatlinburg-Pittman, the Highlanders are caught
in a no-man’s land as far as classification. With less than 600 students, G-P is just a bit larger than many of the top Class-A schools that have around 520 students. But in their new district, the Highlanders are by far the smallest team. The A-E football factory is the second smallest with 741 students, followed by Pigeon Forge’s 775, Union County’s 866, Fulton’s 983, Gibbs’ 1,022 and Carter’s 1,028 enrollees. Theoretically and reportedly, in order to guaran-
tee themselves a playoff spot this November, the Highlanders will have to finish as the best 3A team in their Class-AA district. Gibbs, Carter, Fulton and Union County are the 4A teams at playoff time, which means the Highlanders will have to edge out A-E and Pigeon Forge to secure a postseason spot. Confused yet? If not, then you will be when trying to figure out if the Blueand-Gold will make it as a wildcard if A-E edges them out of the top 3A spot in the Class-AA district.
“When you’ve got this big of a turnover in the state, we don’t like it at all and do not approve of it,” said Hammonds, referring to TSSAA’s new realignment and fundamental changes to the playoff system this season. “Anytime you’ve got nine new opponents, that’s just too big of a shake up. “But we’re just living with it and dealing with it and trying to get better every day.” The Highlanders next play Week 3 at Sullivan East on Friday, Sept. 11, in the first-ever meeting between the two programs. East, which finished 4-6 last season, is a 4A school at playoff time with 989 students and a quality football program. A Blue-and-Gold victory on the road at the 4A opponent should help alleviate some of the concerns about playing against tougher district competition later this season. “It’s going to take a good ball game by us, because that’s a big school with a big program,” said Hammonds. “They’re solid, they’ve got a coach that’s been around a long time ..., so it’s going to be a big challenge for us to go on the road and come home with a victory from there. “But we’ve got the ability to do it, if we just keep improving.” The Highlanders begin district play Friday, Sept. 18, at Gibbs. Six of G-P’s final seven contests this season are district affairs, with the regular-season finale at home October 30th against county rival Pigeon Forge for the third installment of the Hammonds Bowl, between father Benny and son Lee, the third-year head football coach for the Tigers. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 â—† The Mountain Press RACING WITH RICH
NASCAR racing in the wrong place this week The NASCAR Sprint Cup race held each year on the Labor Day weekend will never be moved back to Darlington, no matter how much traditionalists may want it to be. That would be tantamount to the sanctioning body admitting they made a mistake by moving the race away in the first place, and they will simply not do that. Just like the Chase for the Championship and the Car of Tomorrow, NASCAR does not admit mistakes, no matter how unpopular their decisions might be. Perhaps more correctly in their own minds, they do not make mistakes. The
removal of the Labor Day race from California to Atlanta is as close as the leaders in Daytona Beach will ever come to saying one of their decisions did not work out as they hoped. In 2004 NASCAR decided to move its Labor Day race away from its traditional home in Darlington to the glitz and glamour
hotspot of Los Angeles. After a year or two the novelty of the event wore off in the race’s new locale and the series was often greeted with scores of empty seats every time they visited the Auto Club Speedway. So now, the holiday weekend race will be contested under the lights at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The hope is that a three way trade of dates will benefit the tracks in Atlanta, California and Talladega. It is thought the holiday weekend and the running of the first scheduled Sprint Cup night race in the track’s history will boost the
Atlanta facility’s attendance. The date will also allow for the race to be run before the college and professional football seasons get fully underway. Thus, any conflict in scheduling between NASCAR and football can be avoided. Along that same line, Talladega has had its race moved from midOctober to the first weekend in November. That prevents at least one collision with college football as Alabama has an open date that weekend. Auburn will play Ole Miss the Saturday before the Talladega race but at least there will not be two conflicts to
cope with. The Los Angeles area track hopes to gain from having a race date within the Chase for the Championship, and thus more bearing on the championship. And more, moving away from Labor Day helps remove the possibility of racing in the oppressive late summer heat of southern California. The problem for NASCAR and the tracks involved is, of course, the possibility that the plan will not work. What if attendance and interest do not improve at one, two or even all three tracks? If that proves to be the
case NASCAR will have to fall back on ‘plan C’, and that is to blame the economy. This coming weekend, NASCAR should be racing in Darlington, South Carolina. However, that is not the case and it never will be again. That is not to be taken as a knock on Atlanta. As a matter of fact, this track should serve, as it once did, as host to the season’s final race. That too, will never be the case because NASCAR doesn’t make mistakes. — To reach me about this or any other issue in racing please visit my website at RacingWithRich.com.
SOUTHERN LEAGUE BASEBALL
Smokies silenced by Torra, Mobile SEVIERVILLE — The Tennessee Smokies were unable to capitalize on another opportunity to take sole possession of first in the Southern League North Division pennant race, succumbing to the Mobile BayBears and their pitcher, Matt Torra, 6-0, at Smokies Park on Monday night. The Smokies (34-30) remain in a first-place tie, however, after both the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx and Chattanooga Lookouts lost. Torra almost singlehandedly defeated the Smokies Monday night. On the mound, he threw his league-leading fourth complete game of the season. The gem was also his second shutout of the year, an effort that saw Torra (9-13) allow just four hits, strike out seven and not walk a single hit-
ter. Torra also helped his own cause at the plate, taking Tennessee reliever David Cales deep for a three-run homer in the sixth to put Mobile up by the final. Tennessee starter HungWen Chen (11-7) was not bad in his start, allowing just two runs on five hits in five innings of work. He struck out two and walked one in the loss. There was a scary moment in the top of the fourth. Bryan Byrne was hit in the head by a HungWen Chen fastball. After shaking the cobwebs out, Byrne was able to walk off under his own power, leaving the game and replaced at first base by Pete Clifford. Mobile broke the game open in the sixth. Smokies reliever Jayson Ruhlman struggled on the mound,

Smoky Bear freshmen win 14-8 over Halls SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School freshmen Smoky Bear gridiron team kept up with the varsity squad with a 14-8 win over Halls Red Devils on Monday night. Casey Carr got the scoring started with a six-yard TD run followed by a successful Jeffrey Henry PAT kick.
The Red Devils came back and held a slim 8-7 lead late in the fourth quarter, but that’s when Devin Schmidt intercepted a Halls pass and returned it 50 yards to pay dirt, making it the Smoky Bear final after another Henry PAT. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Advice
Woman shouldn’t continue being enabler for her deadbeat boyfriend
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing “Dave” for four years. Even in the midst of this recession, he has no trouble finding good jobs. The problem is, he gets depressed, drinks too much and gets fired, or decides the job is not for him and quits. He spends all his money, often losing his apartment. Then he ends up on my doorstep. I cannot afford to support Dave. He is considerate and does all the housework and cooking when he is here, but the situation drives me crazy. My landlord could throw me out if someone reports that Dave is living here. Dave is a veteran and eligible for Social Security benefits. I think he needs more help than I can give him. If things continue, we may both be out on the street. Please help. -- Baffled in the Midwest Dear Baffled: You are right that Dave needs professional help to find out why he sabotages every job and spends his money until he loses his apartment. Suggest that he go to his local VA for assistance. Then decide what you want from this relationship because you cannot change him, and the situation will continue until he gets help or you break it off. Dear Annie: I am 13 years old and school starts next week. Last year didn’t end so well. My best friends, “Becky and Amanda,” started befriending people who use drugs and alcohol. I don’t want to be around that stuff. We all knew the friendship wasn’t working anymore, so I decided to do us all a favor and end things. I began by
ignoring them for two weeks, hoping they’d get the hint. I told Becky we were through, but she never told Amanda. I know I should have done it differently, but I didn’t. By the time Amanda found out, everything was going downhill. They would talk about me loudly on the bus. I moved seats, listened to music, anything to drown out the sound, but nothing worked. I don’t want another year like that. I have other friends, but they don’t take the same bus. What should I do? -- Helpless with Old Friends Dear Helpless: You are learning a painful lesson in growing up, but you sound smart enough to handle it. Your ex-friends will continue to taunt you as long as they can get a reaction. No matter how loud and obnoxious they are, you must learn to ignore them. Open a book, put in your earbuds or make friends with someone else on the bus. In time, they will find better things to do and so will you. Hang in there. Dear Annie: Please print this for “Nightmare in Maine”: Thank you for writing to Annie about your friend Kelly, who got drunk and was raped by her brother’s best friend. I experienced a similar incident. Because my parents would never have approved if they’d known I was drinking at a party, it complicated

telling anyone who could help me. I am now 34 and just finding the clarity from the anger, shame and guilt I have carried around. I convinced myself I was responsible for allowing the rape to happen, even though I was passed out when it occurred. I told a pastor about it a few years back, and when he discovered there was alcohol involved, he said, “Well, you can understand how he might not have seen it the same way you do.” That response made things worse. While I agree with Annie to be gentle with Kelly, please try to convince her to speak with a professional. I have gone through rape crisis/sexual assault group therapy and cannot stress enough that I wish I had told people sooner. Kelly did not deserve to be raped. Her brother deserves to know about his friend and to be given the opportunity to stick up for his sister. The rapist deserves to know what he did was WRONG and cannot be allowed to continue. He, too, needs help. -- Healing Without Church Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
