The increased absenteeism at Seymour Middle School, which had to postpone a football game last week because of too many players were sick, is now “leveling out,” Debra Cline, director of curriculum and instruction, said. “We’ve had a significant increase of absenteeism at

Seymour High School and Boyds Creek Elementary School, with a slight increase of absenteeism at other Seymour schools for the past couple of days,” Cline said. “We review the numbers for individual schools as well as for the entire school system. (Tuesday) there was not a significant increase. “Basically, the illness is running its cycle,” she said.

Cline was quick to add that there was no one specific illness keeping students out of classes, but a number of different causes. The same is said to be true of the neighboring Alcoa City Schools, which announced Tuesday it would close through Labor Day due to the number of student illnesses. Cline said the percentage of Sevier County Schools’ absentee-

Now the real work begins

ism was not high enough to warrant closing any school before today, which had already been planned as an off-day. She also said the schools continued to encourage good hygiene habits in its students and employees, as well as follow the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Rangers and volunteers immediately began clearing the chairs and equipment after Wednesday’s rededication ceremony to open the Newfound Gap parking lot and road for visitors to the park. The event marked the 75th anniversary of the park and the date when President Roosevelt visited in 1940 to officially dedicated the national park.

Sevier County Sheriff’s deputies said Thursday they have charged a Seymour man with robbery after he allegedly attacked an acquaintance at her home and took money from her. Isaac Micah Allen, 25, of 1545 E. Union Valley Allen Road, was charged with robbing a woman at her McCleary Road residence. The woman reported that she had been attacked at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday. She said that she knew Allen, and that he fled after taking money from her, officials said Thursday. Allen was later arrested without incident at his home. He is being held at the Sevier County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bond. The investigation is still going on, and Sheriff Ron Seals asked that anyone with information call the criminal investigations division at 428-1899. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Jobless rate in Sevier plunges

Today Partly Cloudy High: 84°

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

Tonight

SEVIERVILLE — It probably doesn’t seem like it to the 4,620 or so still out of work, but there is some good news on the unemployment front for Sevier County and Tennessee. The county experienced its largest 2009 drop between June and July, moving from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent, according to preliminary figures from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Some view it as a sign the local economy has turned the corner, at the same time many are saying the national recession may be easing. Surprisingly, 9.1 percent is the lowest rate the county has had so far in 2009.

For an indication of how hard this recession has hit, one need look no further back that 2007. For July of that year, the unemployment number was 5.5 percent lower than it was two years later. Even as recently as last year, the figure stood at 5.8 percent in July. In fact, the last time the number was comparable to the one from this July was in 1983. In that year, the figure for July was 10.5 percent, the department’s archives indicate. Throughout this year the unemployment numbers have been the highest since the recession of the early- to mid-1980s. The number leveled out between May and June before taking its July dip. Sevier was one of 78 counties across See jobless, Page A4

Students raise funding for New Center lockers By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Every sixth-, seventh- and eighthgrader at New Center Elementary School now has a new or refurbished locker, thanks to the money they raised through the “Rockers for Lockers.” New Center students raised $11,500 from family and friends who participated in the walk-a-thon (also called a “rock-a-thon,” since participants were “rocking” to music as they walked) at the school’s track. “I was amazed at how much money they raised,” New Center Principal Nancy Sims said. “Every child in the school (K-8) participated.” The school’s lockers were 20 years old and “in pretty bad shape,” Sims said. There was also only enough for seventh- and eighth-graders to use. Officers of the Parent Advisory Council approached Sims last year about doing an “Extreme Makeover” for the school. Sims’ wish list included

new and refurbished lockers. PAC suggested the rock-a-thon as a fundraiser, and planning for the event began in the fall. “A lot of walk-a-thons ask for a certain amount of money per lap, but we just asked for flat donations,” PAC president Ellen Parnell said. “It surpassed everyone’s expectations. It had such a wide impact.” Tanger Outlet Center, which had adopted New Center Elementary School last year, donated $1,000 to the project. The school was able to receive 142 new lockers with the money raised from the walk-a-thon, and $5,000 from other PAC projects allowed the old lockers to be refurbished in July. “Some of the lockers didn’t close all the way, were dented, faded or missing parts,” Sims said. “It wasn’t from abuse, just from being used.” Eighth-grader Tyler Hounshell, Submitted who raised $300, and seventh-grader Abigail Vann and Chip Veal have new lockers to use at New Center School, thanks to a fundraisSee lockers, Page A4 ing effort last spring.

Thursday luau to help Gatlinburg library From Submitted Reports GATLINBURG — Gatlinburg’s new Anna Porter Public Library is open, but the drive to finish paying for the new facility continues with the fourth annual Library Luau on Thursday at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. Luau tickets are $75 for adults and $10 for children. For more information, call 436-5588 or visit www.annaporterpl.org. “We are so close to fully funding the library, but we’re not there yet,” said Sue Bock, outgoing chairwoman of the Board of Trustees, who has been instrumental in the community’s drive to build the $1.7 million library. “We need the community to support another great library luau,” said Lee Mellor, who has worked as the library’s fundraising committee chairwoman. “We can satisfy our obligation to the City of Gatlinburg with a $40,000 payment. Ripley’s Aquarium pledged all the proceeds from five luaus. This is the fourth, and we very much appreciate their contribution and all the support of the community.” The luau is an island-themed party held throughout the aquarium. The $75 ticket includes seafood, hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine and live music. “Buy a ticket to help fund the library and come out to have a good time,” said Steve Kemp, chairman of the Board of Trustees. “You can join folks dressed in casual island wear and leis and having a great time, some in grass skirts doing the hula.” All proceeds finance the facility named for the woman who founded Gatlinburg’s first library in her own home on Burg Hill (near Arrowmont) back in the 1920s. Porter’s house was the first of several locations for the Gatlinburg library, including the most recent location on Cherokee Orchard Road that housed the library for more than 35 years. The new library next to the Community Center has ample parking as well as trolley service. Designed by Trotter & Associates Architect, it features designated areas for teens and children, an adult reading area, public access computers, rocking chairs in front of a stone fireplace and an Internet coffee cafe. It also includes a large area for the Smoky Mountains Collection, an anthology of important artifacts and documents from Gatlinburg’s history.

Chamber event to feature merchants from 407 exit From Submitted Reports The Sevierville Chamber of Commerce will be breaking new marketing ground on Sept. 10 from 4 to 6 p.m., when it hosts its first Business After Hours for the Sevierville 407 Merchants Group. Usually, the Business After Hours program is focused on one Sevierville Chamber member business. This time the Chamber will feature some 15 member businesses located in the Sevierville Exit 407 area. This event is the brainchild of Jim McGill, the Chamber’s membership director. If all goes as

planned, this will become an annual event. The Business After Hours will be held in the Double Play Cafe at Smokies Park and will resemble a minitrade show. There will be

food provided by area restaurants. Attendance is free and open to the public. For more information, contact McGill at 4536411.

Sevier courthouse to be site of Christians uniting in prayer From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — Christians nationwide will unite in prayer on Sept. 11 at county courthouses to pray for their community and for the spiritual condition of the nation. There will be an event at the Sevier County Courthouse in recognition of the day. No time was announced. In 2001 extremist enemies assaulted America with terrorist attacks. Eight years later, as part of the Awakening America Alliance, Christians are issuing a spiritual wake call through Cry Out America, a nationwide prayer gathering on Sept. 11. “Our stated goal for Cry Out America is to claim this day of prayer to fully

awaken America to return to the Lord and to mark this significant day in its history with powerful prayer for every state, every county, and every heart. With the hundreds of gatherings being planned this year we believe that 9-11 will be an extraordinary day of united prayer across the nation. Extraordinary and united prayer has ignited every great awakening in American history. Our hope is that Cry Out America will help awaken the American church to our need for repentance and position us for a return to God’s favor,” said Billy Wilson, executive chairman for Awakening America. To learn more about the Awakening America Alliance visit www.awakeningamerica.us or call 888-9-292-5387.

Library cards focus of month From Submitted Reports September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Sevier County Public Library System wants to make sure that all children a library card. Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library. Activities for the month at the Main Library, the Seymour Branch and the Kodak Branch include preschool story times with an emphasis on books, crafts, songs and games. “A library card has always been the most important school supply

of all,” said K.C. Williams, system director. “Kids can come to the library to get homework help and check out books, but they can also play games and use the Internet to help make after school life fun. Music, DVDs and much more are available at the branches of the Sevier County Public Library System, and the best part for both kids and parents is that it’s all free with a library card.” Observed since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month is a time when the American Library

Association and libraries across the country remind parents of the importance of a library card. Getting one is easy. A parent with a picture I.D. must accompany a child to sign for the card. For more information, visit the Main Library at 321 Court Ave., or call 453-3532; the Seymour Branch at 137 W. Macon Lane, 573-0728; and the Kodak Branch, 319 W. Dumplin Valley Road, 933-0078.

Ginseng harvesters arrested by deputies By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer Three people are facing charges after getting caught harvesting ginseng near a home without the homeowner’s consent. Daniel Scott Hawkins and Tracey Hawkins, both of Lake City, and a juvenile were charged with theft of property worth more than $500. A neighbor called authorities Saturday after noticing the three strangers loading property into a pickup truck outside the home, Sheriff Ron Seals said. The neighbor followed the truck when it left and related information about the three to Sevier County Sheriff’s deputies, who arrested the men on Newport Highway. The deputies found

that the three had been taking ginseng from the property without permission. Both men paid $2,500 bond, but Daniel Hawkins was transferred to the jail in Dekalb County because of an outstanding warrant there. Detectives are still investigating the case, and asked that anyone with information call the criminal investigations division at 428-1899. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

La. waives taxes on guns, ammo BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s new “sales tax holiday” on hunting equipment this weekend finds gun shop owners reporting customers enthusiastically planning to stock up on bullets, shells, shotguns, rifles and handguns — all of which will be sold without the 6 percent state sales tax or local sales taxes Friday through Sunday. That means a 9-percent tax break for Baton Rouge shoppers, several of whom said they planned to take full advantage. The tax break debuts at the same time dove hunting season starts. The inspiration for the “Annual Louisiana Second

Amendment Weekend Tax Holiday” came from South Carolina, the first and only other state with such a law. South Carolina introduced its tax holiday over two days last year and is scheduled to lift taxes again in November on guns and bullets.

NASHVILLE (AP) — State Election Coordinator Mark Goins says Tennessee Republicans will be listed first on all ballots, beginning with a special House election next month. The Republican election coordinator said a 1975 law grants him the authority to decide statewide ballot rules. Goins says he listened to recordings of the lawmaker debate and that the intent of that law was to give the “majority party” the top billing on ballots. Goins was appointed to his job by Republican Secretary of State Tre Hargett.

Cameras an issue for school boards

A recommendation by the Tennessee School Board Association has some school officials and citizens questioning whether school boards should be allowed to restrict cameras from meetings. The sample school board policy proposed by the Nashville-based organization expands on an existing policy that gives school boards the right to limit cameras, camcorders or photographic equipment in meetings. Steve Doremus, a spokesman for the TSBA, says the policy proposal isn’t meant to ban media or regular citizens from recording meetings, but to allow boards to limit an excessive number of cameras that may cause a disruption.

commentary

Kennedy’s life full of plot turns The last time I saw Ted Kennedy he was, in Tom Wolfe’s phrase, “A man in full.” It was Labor Day 2007, on Cape Cod, and he was singing and laughing hugely through one of the those parody songs that folks compose for friends’ birthdays. He was great, lit up the place. He was free at last, I thought. He had the right job and the right wife. He was free of the presidential ambitions forced on him by others, especially by his dead brothers; he was free of being a Kennedy. He was what he was meant to be, a great senator. The great senators stand for something, and they stay a long time and get things done. He had a mission, making health care an American right, and too many friends to count. I followed him in the 1970s, at a time people still thought he would be president one day. I was not one of those people; my gut told me he believed the job would crack him -- or get him killed. Looking back at my notes then, this is what I found: “No scholar, he has people to do that for him ... but on any given day he can absorb two 20-pound briefcases of memos and background papers, take a couple of dozen verbal briefings ranging from 30 seconds to an hour, handle a dozen confrontational situations with other senators, reporters or bureaucrats trying to make their bones by trapping him, juggle the egos of 50 talented staffers and ex-officio advisers, interrogate the presidents of four drug companies and their counsel about their business, debate Sen. John McClellan about the death penalty and Sen. Jesse Helms about handgun production in the South, read a half-dozen newspapers, remember 500 faces and names, and be canny and witty at dinner. You try it.” He had many faults, too, and because of who he was we learned a great deal about them. He tended to feel sorry for himself, particularly when he was younger, telling me once he had to work four times as hard as anyone else because he was a Kennedy. Give me a break, I thought. But I always remembered and agreed with something another senator, a Republican, said to me in those days: “Whatever you think of Teddy’s private morality, he is a publicly moral man.” I was often asked whether I intended to do a book on Teddy. I always answered, “I’m not a novelist.” There were just too many plot turns for me. If I had, however, done a book on the senator, it would have begun with a story told to me by a New York politician, Matthew Troy, another engaging Irishman who become borough president of Queens and also went to jail. Troy and Kennedy became friends during Army basic training at Fort Benning, Ga. Teddy had just been thrown out of Harvard for cheating; he had another student take a Spanish test for him. Spoiled rich people do things like that. So Teddy joined the army, a kind of public penance. He had a goal, said Troy, to break the obstacle course record at Benning. He practiced day and night — and he did it! Next stop: the Korean war. But as the two of them stood on the dock, a jeep pulled up and told Private Kennedy he was being reassigned — to Paris, as a member of Gen. Eisenhower’s honor guard. I wonder how that happened? A phone call from daddy, Troy guessed. Ah, the ups and downs of the privileged class. God love ‘em — or at least let them get away with it. Sen. Kennedy ended up on a high no one ever thought he would reach. The United States Senate was another obstacle course where he set records. Someone said that many men grow up wanting to go into politics, but the Kennedys went into politics and then grew up. That was certainly true of Teddy. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial

Mountain memories Wednesday’s Park rededication event was all it was intended to be Showing off the most visited national park in America is a little like publicizing the existence of the White House. If any spot in the United States needs no introduction, it’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park. More than 9 million people visit it every year, and those who don’t surely have before. On Wednesday the culmination of 24 months of planning for a year of activities produced the rededication of the park, on the same spot and same day as it was done in 1940 when President Roosevelt did so six years after the park had actually been created. We’ve had this Park for 75 years, and during that time it has experiencing tragedy and triumph, glory and challenges. Wednesday was one of the glory days. Every politician worth his patronage showed up at Newfound Gap, where Roosevelt did his thing 69 years ago. Some 2,000 lucky ticket holders, winners of a lottery for the few chairs available to the general pub-

lic, watched. So did people who saw Roosevelt visit, people whose lives were disrupted by the creation of the Park, people who, as members of the Civilian Conservation Corps, worked to make the Park’s facilities and trails and roads in the ’30s and ’40s. The weather was magnificent, as if God looked down on Newfound Gap and proclaimed it vital to keep the rain and heat away. Yes, the ceremony created some upset hikers and motorists. The road through the mountain, as well as several trails and parking lots, were closed. It would have been impossible to have this ceremony without doing those things. Usually it takes snow to close Highway 441. Maybe once every 75 years it’s OK to close it for another reason. Those who make their living in the Smokies, and volunteers who love the place so much they just want to be part of it, worked tirelessly to set up the ceremony area, arrange for the buses to move people from outlying areas

to the top of the mountain, set up the sound system, coordinate the media coverage, cater to the needs of the visiting dignitaries — and then take it all down after the event. Things seemed to go flawlessly — a tribute to the men and women who made it happen and planned it out. I’s a little bit of a letdown to see it all come to an end, this year of anniversary and celebration. We who live in Sevier County sometimes take the Smokies for granted, much as New Yorkers do with the Statue of Liberty and Arizonans do with the Grand Canyon. But while we are perhaps complacent about having it here, nonetheless we treasure it. And not just for its economic impact. Even the most hardened, cynical Sevier County resident values the Park and all it stands for. Congratulations to all who made Wednesday’s rededication memorable. Now let’s start planning the centennial celebration. Hey, it’s coming up in 2034. Made your reservations yet?

Political view

Public forum Regular citizens deserve same coverage as politicians receive

Editor: With all the arguments about our federal government’s proposals for new medical laws, I have not heard anything regarding three possibilities. How about just revising the current laws about federal politicians’ medical privileges and include U.S. citizens? If it’s good for politicians, why not for U.S. citizens? An alternative based on the politician’s view of effectiveness would be to totally scrap cur-

rent medical privileges for all federal politicians and include politicians and U.S. citizens all the same. After all, aren’t the politicians spouting off as to how good their proposals are for us? If their proposals are that good, why don’t they want to be included? Eliminate all non-U.S. visitors from all but life-threatening free medical care. This especially is to include illegals. How many hospitals have had to close because they went broke caring for illegals? I’ll betcha that if either No. 1 or No. 2 plus No. 3 were to be followed, there would be tre-

mendous support from most legal citizens. Of course, illegals would vote against it. How many legal U.S. citizens have worked long and hard for many years and then be given the boot by their employer. They now are stuck with shrinking Social Security and Medicare income which makes it difficult for them to pay for medical, food, clothing, etc. They can’t even utilize U.S. government aircraft to make personal trips home or take their family on dinner dates several states away.

MCNELLY-WHALEY FORD SEVIER COUNTY GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Highlanders, Bearettes take county titles Bearettes, led by Mitchell’s third-straigh individual title, take girls’ championship By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE — There was little suspense on the final day as to who would come away with the girls’ individual title at the McNelly-Whaley Ford Sevier County Golf Championship, because Sevier County junior Katie Mitchell had it virtually wrapped up after the first round of three. Leading by 37 strokes heading into Thursday afternoon’s final round at Gatlinburg Golf Course in Pigeon Forge, it became a formality a couple hours after tee-off. Mitchell secured her third consecutive individual county title, shooting a 1-over 38 for a three-day 5-under 103. She shot a 2-under 34 at Eagle’s Landing on Tuesday and tied a course record with a 4-under 31 at Creekside on Wednesday. Reportedly, Mitchell’s 5-under for the tournament set a new county record for girls, although the boys’ record stands at 9-under. Mitchell won the 2009 title by 46 strokes, with Seymour’s Megan Gamble and Bailey Webb tying for second place with a tournament score of 149 each. Mitchell’s tournament performance also helped bring home the girls’ team title along with Grace Huskey. The two combined for a tournament

Sevier County’s Katie Mitchell chips onto the green on her way to a five-under tournament, her third straight individual title. SCHS junior Katie Mitchell is the three-time Sevier County champion score of 267, edging out the Seymour girls team of Kayla Fekete, Gamble and Webb by 19 strokes. Although Mitchell had hoped for a better final-round performance, she was pleased with her cumulative effort for the tournament. “I didn’t play as well (Thursday) as I’d hoped, but I played really well the first two days,” said Mitchell. “I felt like coming into this tournament, I could win it even if I just played okay.” She did better than okay, See BEARETTES, Page A11

G-P boys use strong team effort to catch, surpass Tigers By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — Joe Whaley gave the best description of the day about the boys side of the competition at the McNelly-Whaley Ford Sevier County Championship Thursday afternoon at Gatlinburg Country Club. “This is one of the most exciting (tournaments) we’ve had in a long time,” Whaley said, following

the third and final round of the tournament — a round that saw a second-place Gatlinburg-Pittman team surge ahead using great overall play. “The championship for the last three years has been dominated by the Seymour Eagles and this year it seemed like everything in the county kind of balanced out,” Whaley continued.

Gibbs too much for Tigers, PF falls to 0-2 By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE - It started out bad and just kept getting worse. The Pigeon Forge Tigers (0-2, 0-1) football team got their firstever taste of District 3-AA action this young season against a familiar opponent when former Appalachian Conference enemy Gibbs Eagles (3-0, 1-0) came to town to lay a 46-0 thumping on the homestanding Orange-andBlack team. But despite the hard knocks for the Tigers, the young team came together at the half. Instead of pointing fingers of blame for the 32-0 deficit, the group of players decided to pull together in the locker room at intermission. “These kids have got some character to them,” said thirdyear Pigeon Forge coach Lee Hammonds, following the disappointing loss Thursday night. “We

came in at halftime, and the kids really pulled together. It’s the first time I’ve seen that here in the last two years. “I saw a lot of togetherness, and that’s got to help us out down the road.” With two wins the past two years, the Eagles now hold a 2-1 series edge over the Hammondscoached Tigers. The Gibbs team — with a roster loaded with sophomore and junior talent — runs a veer-type offense, utilizing numerous forms of option plays with efficiency. The Eagles have now scored 144 points in just three games this season, while the defense has allowed just 50. Thursday night, Gibbs junior Andy Hibbett got things rolling for the Eagles with a nice opening kickoff return to midfield. A few snaps later, junior QB Chris Legg connected with junior See TIGERS, Page A10

SEYMOUR — The Seymour Eagles had their first District 3-AAA test of the season Thursday night against the Cocke County Fighting Cocks. To say the Eagles passed that test with flying colors would be an understatement. Seymour needed just one possession Thursday night to put their first two games’ offensive woes in the rear view mirror, and the Eagles ended up blowing out Cocke County by a count of 51-0, earning head coach Jim Moore his first win at the helm of the Blue and Gold, and handing the Fighting Cocks their 20th loss in a row. “I think this gives (us) some confidence, and we needed it,” Moore said. “We’ve gone out, the first week the offense didn’t play and the defense played well, and last week I didn’t think the score was indicative of the game. But tonight, it was big. The first game in the conference, and we needed that to go on. 0-3 would have been hard to dig out of.” Running back Blake Overton got on the scoreboard early and often for the Eagles, running for three TDs in the first half alone. The first of those came on Seymour’s first possession of the game, as the senior back jaunted 55 yards to paydirt. Just moments later, on the Eagles’ first possession of the second quarter Overton scored again, this time from seven yards out to cap a Seymour three-play, 33-yard drive following a Cocke County punt. After another Fighting Cocks’ three-and-out, Seymour used nice gains from Hunter Crain and Chase Ketron to get the ball down to their opponents’ 10-yard line. Overton took it the rest of the way for his third TD of the night, making the score 21-0 after Stephen Martin’s third PAT kick.

Seymour’s Hunter Crain (3) breaks up a Cocke County pass in the first quarter of the Eagles’ 51-0 romp over the Fighting Cocks at Benton Householder Field. From there the rout was on. Keegan Newport and Crane combined for a safety on Cocke County’s next possession making it 23-0, and Ketron returned the Fighting Cocks free kick back to their 17, setting up a Dustin Fain five-yard TD run. Again the Seymour defense swarmed and held Cocke County to a three-and-out forcing a punt on 4th-and-17.

This time Corey Clark got into the scoring action, taking the punt 43 yards down the sidelines for another Seymour touchdown. Following the extra point the Eagles led 37-0, which is where the score remained at halftime. Cocke County’s only impressive possession of the first See EAGLES, Page A9

Senior Wes White gets a sack in the first half. carries for 45 yards. Seymour ended the contest with 37 carries for an eye-popping 300 yards -- much better than their efforts the first two games of the season. “We’ve known they’ve been good,” Moore said of his starting backs. “They’ve both struggled with cramps and injuries and tonight they played through it, but neither one of them played past the first half. When they had the opportunity they showed what they could do, and the offensive line did a great job.” In the meantime the

Eagle defense, led by Cody Watson, Cody Sands, Keegan Newport, Nick Smith and Wes White, held the Cocks to minus 13 on the ground for the game, while only allowing 87 through the air. Watson led the team with six tackles, while Sands, Newport and Smith had five apiece. White had a sack and two tackles for loss. “The defense played very well. The defense got back to the way they’re supposed to play,” Moore said. Seymour hosts Heritage next Friday. mpsports@themountainpress.com

half ate most of the first quarter clock, before Seymour’s Corey Clark picked off a pass at the Eagles’ 3-yard line to end a possible Fighting Cocks’ scoring drive. Things kept going well for Seymour in the second half, as reserve players got their chances to make some memories. Junior Jamie Cota did just that on his team’s first possession of the half, following good runs from Corey Todd and Ryan Chadwick with a one-yard TD scramble to put the score at 44-0. After Hunter Crain recovered a Cocke County fumble at the 30 moments later, the Eagles were in business again. Lee Knight capped a seven-play, 30-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run for Seymour’s last TD of the game. Martin again was called on for the extra point, his seventh of the game, and the score stood at its final margin 51-0. Overton led the Eagles’ rushing attack on the night, with 80 yards on just four carries. Brandon Hawker was next on the ledger with eight rushes for 49 yards, followed by Ketron with five

receiver Austin Turner for a 32-yard TD with 10:49 in the first quarter. Freshman kicker Ryan Hunley’s PAT kick was true, making it 7-0 Gibbs. The rout was on. After the Tigers were forced into a punt on their opening possession, Gibbs senior Seth Brewton broke free and blocked Pigeon Forge sophomore Chase Travis’ punt with 7:09 in the first, giving the Eagles a first down at the Tiger 20. Gibbs capitalized on that possession, as well as every other offensive possession throughout the first half, scoring TDs each time. By the end of the first, the Eagles led 14-0. By halftime it was 32-0. It was the final by the end of the third quarter. The bright spot for the Pigeon Forge offensive attack was Travis’ 125 yards rushing on 25 totes, a 5-yard average.

however. She turned in her best tournament performance to date with the 5-under tally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never shot under par in a tournament like this before,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me feel really confident in my game with the district, regional and state coming up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully I can continue to play well, just rely on my long game. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got a lot of work to do ..., but I think I have a chance (to win state this year).â&#x20AC;?

Although Mitchell has won the award twice before, Thursday was the first time she won it as a Sevier County High School Smoky Bearette after transferring from The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy, where she played for the Lady Lions the past two seasons. But regardless of what team sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played for, not much has changed for the standout county golfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was wearing purple last year too,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell, referring to her former Purple-and-Yellow TKA team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any yellow in it now.â&#x20AC;? When first-year SCHS

golf coach Ken Wright first heard that Mitchell was transferring from TKA to play for the Smoky Bears, he knew that the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team would have a strong representation this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katie is just a wonderful golfer, and her mental toughness is just off the charts,â&#x20AC;? said Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be excited to have a scratch golfer coming to their program? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as good a golfer as any around, and I look forward to watching her compete for a state championship this year.â&#x20AC;? chitchcock@themountainpress.com

It certainly did. Three of the four teams in competition had a legitimate shot at the county championship going into the final day of play, with Pigeon Forge holding a two stroke lead over the Sevier County Smoky Bears and a fourshot cushion over the Highlanders. Individual tournament winner Chase McCown of Pigeon Forge did his part for the Tigers, shooting the best boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; score of the day with a nine-hole round of 35. McCown bogeyed only one hole on the day, and scored a birdie and an improbable eagle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sink-

ing a chip from about 90 feet out. But GatlinburgPittmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combination of Jake Jackson, Garrett Barnett, Shade Treadway and Lane Carr was too much for the Pigeon Forge team, overcoming them 158 to 169 in the final round to leap over the Tigers for the title. Jackson led the way on Thursday with a teambest round of 36, improving on rounds of 41 and 42 in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two days. Barnett added a clutch 38. Treadway added a 40 and Carr a 44 to round out the Highlandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scoring. Logan Baker was Pigeon Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondbest score of the day with a 42. He was followed by teammates Hilton Pullan with a 43 and Jordan

Thomas with a 49. Sevier Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tripp Mitchell shot a 41 to lead the Bears to a Thursday total of 173. Seymourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Bennett and Justice Murphy each shot 42 as the Eagles went for 177 on the day. In the end the Highlanders won the tournament with a threeday score of 490, followed by the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 497, Sevier Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 503 and Seymourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 540. After McCownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threeday total of 107, G-Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treadway took home second place in the individual honors with a 116. Pigeon Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baker was third at 117, and G-Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barnett was fourth at 118. mpsports@themountainpress.com

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden proclaimed success beyond expectations Thursday for the $787 billion economic stimulus, but his glowing assessment overlooks many of the program’s problems, including delays in releasing money, questionable spending priorities and project picks that are under investigation. In a speech aimed squarely at Republican criticism and public skepticism over the costly program’s effectiveness, Biden said accomplishments over the past 100 days provide proof of promises kept when he and President Barack Obama began rolling out the plan earlier this year. “The Recovery Act is doing more, faster and more efficiently and more effectively than most people expected,” he said. The stimulus program includes tax cuts, billions for Medicaid and unemployment benefits, and a massive federal investment in education, environmental projects, technology and traditional infrastructure work. The administration has struggled to make the case that the huge spending program has delivered real economic recovery at a time when the nation’s unemployment rate threatens to top 10 percent.

Biden, Obama’s chief stimulus cheerleader, proudly pointed to more than 2,200 highway projects Thursday funded by the program, but didn’t mention the growing frustration among contractors that the transportation money is only trickling out and thus far hasn’t delivered the needed boost in jobs. “It is difficult to understand why more communities aren’t moving to put their stimulus funds to work while they are experiencing these kinds of job losses,” Stephen E. Sandherr, head of the Associated General Contractors of America, said in a statement this week. “Coping with the red tape required by the stimulus ought to be worth it to help put neighbors and friends back to work.” Biden noted 192 airport jobs targeted with stimulus money, but made no reference to the investigation launched after a federal watchdog raised concerns about how the projects

were selected. Transportation Department Inspector General Calvin Scovel said last month he will examine the Federal Aviation Administration’s process for selecting programs for the $1.1 billion in grant money. His announcement came after his office discovered that the Obama administration used stimulus money to pay for 50 airport projects that didn’t meet the grant criteria and approved projects at four airports with a history of mismanaging federal grants. And Biden praised the more than 2,400 military construction projects paid for with stimulus money, but ignored the millions of dollars in savings the Defense Department lost because it hasn’t competitively bid many of the jobs. The Defense Department frequently awards no-bid work to small contractors for repairs at military bases under the stimulus, cost-

ing taxpayers millions of dollars more than when businesses compete for the work, an Associated Press analysis of 570 such contracts found. Biden exercised some restraint in his praise for the stimulus’ impact. He took a more cautious approach, for example, when asked if his declaration of stimulus success means Americans can now rethink the common view that government is wasteful and inefficient. “I think it’s too early to make that decision, to be very blunt about it,” he said. And Biden didn’t attempt to credit the stimulus alone for signs of broad economic recovery, saying it was one of several government actions that are helping. “Had we done just this and not done the incredibly unpopular thing of bailing out the banks, had we had done this and tried to deal with stabilizing the housing market, had we done only this we would not be where we are,” he said.

Angel Adkins adds a gum paste flower to a purse-shaped cake. The pumpkin spice cake is covered with vanilla and chocolate fondant. The Kodak woman is owner of Angel Cakes and Confections.

Kodak woman excels at making elaborate cakes By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor If a simple sheet cake with a shell border, roses and “Happy Birthday” written in buttercream icing is in the plans for your next party, Angel Adkins wouldn’t be the baker to call. If a three-dimensional cake of a “Star Wars” Starfighter, a beach ball, purse, car or a topsy-turvy tiered cake full of personal details is what you want, Adkins is the baker for you. The Kodak woman and stay-at-home mom is owner of Angel Cakes and Confections (www.myangelcakes.net), creating one-of-a-kind cakes for celebrations of all kinds. Adkins, 31, didn’t start out to be a cake decorator. She was working at a bank when her first child was born. It was for Blaine’s first birthday party that she decided to try decorating a cake. “I honestly didn’t discover that I really wanted to do this until after I had my son in 2000, and I just couldn’t bring myself to go out and buy a birthday cake for him for his first birthday,” Adkins said. “So I just found myself back in the craft section and looking at books and how-to’s; just the little Wilton books. I found one and tried to make it and it was not too great.” She made a sheet cake, writing “Happy Birthday Blaine” on it. “Then I bought (shaped) cake pans and followed the instructions and did all the stars all over the cake,” she said. “It takes hours. That was torturous.” Not giving up, Adkins said she started taking beginner decorating classes at Sugarbakers, a cake, candy and wedding supply store in Knoxville. “I was all the time down there looking for little things, books and supplies,” she said. “I took that and then I took another.” Shortly after she had her daughter, Abby, she took more classes. “But they were real beginner classes, real basic,” she said. “A lot of what they were teaching I felt like I could teach the class. Even though I didn’t have the experience I had learned it all from reading. It just slowly progressed from there.” As she continued to bake, Adkins said family and friends would ask her to make birthday cakes. Then they began asking for wedding cakes. Adkins made the transition to using fondant, first using prepared fondant before making her own. “I started experimenting, and you can do such neat things with it,” she said of the malleable mixture made of confectioner’s sugar, corn syrup and a couple of

The Barbie-themed cake is part of an order that also included 1,500 cupcakes. Adkins hand painted the zebra stripes and the shoes on the cakes.

other ingredients. She uses the fondant to cover the cakes for a smooth texture that’s hard to get using only buttercream frosting. But the frosting still makes up a large part of her cakes, acting as glue for the layers of cakes and the fondant. She also uses homemade modeling chocolate for characters or elements of the cake that need to be particularly sturdy. “It’s real fun to work with,” she said. “It’s like playing with Play-Doh. My kids love to play with it and then eat what they make.” One technique she’s found particularly enjoyable is painting designs on cakes. “I love the painting,” she said. “I’ve never really honestly painted on canvas or anything. People ask me that all the time. The first time I really started to do any art was in cake. That’s kind of strange to me now, because I really enjoy it so much, and if it were not for the lack of time, I would probably start to try and paint.” The closest she comes is the sketches she does for the cakes she designs. “I have to really plan it,” she said. She gets some help from her husband, Adam, who helps build the bases and with getting the cakes proportioned correctly.

Adkins recently won second place in an Internet-based cake decorating competition. She also competes each year in the National Gingerbread Competition at Grove Park in in Asheville, N.C., where she’s received honorable mention.

“He’s really good at that,” she said. He and some other friends pitched in when Adkins worked on her largest cake order, a four-tiered cake and 1,500 cupcakes themed around the 50th anniversary of the Barbie doll. Adam and the children also help out when she’s carving, gladly accepting the crumbs. The carving process, Adkins said, takes a good bit of time because she doesn’t want to sacrifice taste for shape.

Cakes

before, Adkins said the woman bought a $450 cake shaped like a Jeep, from somebody else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said they ate one bite of it and threw it away,â&#x20AC;? Adkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, your cake tastes good and looks good.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best compliment Adkins said she can get. Though she puts a lot of time and effort into them, she does want the finished product to be eaten. At first, she admits, it was difficult to see her creations being cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be really hard on me,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sometimes it still can be. She recently made a Lego Star Wars cake for her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent so much time on it and my husband was in such a big hurry to cut the cake and get the party started, and I had just set it out. I wanted everybody to see it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting easier. I have friends say, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch you cut that apart. But you just kind of get used to it and if people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of making it?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like taste is just as important, or more important, than the look of it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand the thought of somebody getting a dry cake.â&#x20AC;? A fan of television shows on several networks that feature cake decorating, Adkins said the cakes they use appear to be dense and drier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They always say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good and they look good, but I usually use my regular recipes, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moist, really fragile cake,â&#x20AC;? she said. To prevent the cakes from crumbling, Adkins uses a process where she puts icing between thin layers of cake before chilling it until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firm enough to carve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the shape and then chill it in the refrigerator to where it gets really cool and really firm, and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to carve it down,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to re-chill it and do another coat just so it will get really firm and set before I start doing anything to it.â&#x20AC;? That effort seems to have paid off. Adkins mentioned one customer who purchased a cake from her this year who complimented her on the taste. The year

H e a lt h D e pa r t m e n t Inspection Reports The Department of Health is responsible for regulation of food service establishments in Tennessee The law requires that restaurants have an unannounced inspection at least once every six months to determine if they are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations at the time of inspection. In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints. Tennessee uses a 44-item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Inspections since Aug. 26:

In deciding whether to issue or deny a permit, the department will consider all comments of record and the requirements of applicable federal and state laws. In making this decision, a determination will be made regarding the lost value of the resource compared to the value of any proposed mitigation. The department shall consider practicable alternatives to the alteration.

Advice

Man’s friendship with woman OK if it doesn’t exclude his girlfriend

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I met “John” six months ago and truly love him. I moved four hours away from my friends, family and kids to be with him. He says he loves me and appreciates that I gave up a lot for him. The problem is, he has a female friend who calls him a lot. John assures me he isn’t hiding anything. As a matter of fact, I’ve met her a few times. Her daughter plays softball with John’s daughter, so they sit together at the games. She’s going through tough times with her husband. Maybe I’m just jealous, but it bothers me that she calls him every other day. I’ve discussed it with John, and he says my reaction concerns him because it means I have trust issues. I feel there’s something between them, but I can’t pinpoint it. Am I over-thinking this? I don’t want to have these doubts, but I also don’t want to get hurt. — Flustered in Florida Dear Flustered: It’s fine for people to have friends of the opposite sex, but not if the relationship completely excludes one of their partners. Offer to meet this woman for coffee. Invite her and her husband over for dinner. If John objects or behaves differently around her, you have reason to worry. Dear Annie: My sister-in-law has always been fashion-challenged, but this summer she has been sporting a pair of shorts that are so tiny, you can see everything spilling out of the front and back. She recently had a baby and made the comment that she still has to wear

her “maternity” shorts. I can’t imagine what maternity shop would have sold those for pregnant women. This has become the talk of our family. It is disgusting to see her in this get-up. It’s indecent. I can’t believe my brother lets her leave the house like that, and I am embarrassed for them both. Is there a tactful way to say something to her or my brother, or do I just keep my mouth shut? My sister-in-law is very sensitive and stubborn, and I worry I’d only upset her and make her resent me. — Wincing in Wisconsin Dear Wisconsin: Say nothing. Your sister-inlaw has convinced herself that she looks sexy in those shorts, and your brother either agrees or doesn’t care. If she’s sensitive and stubborn, she will not take kindly to your constructive criticism and will simply assume you don’t like her. Leave it alone. Dear Annie: I would like to encourage “Ill and Lonely” to join a cancer support group. I’ve been fighting Stage IV breast cancer for three years. I completely understand her complaint that friends and family have been great, but after a while, the phone calls and visits become sparse. I joined a local breast cancer support

group when I was first diagnosed, and it’s been a wonderful source of help, understanding, comfort and fun times. When I get lonely or down, I’ll call one of my support group sisters and they will boost me up. You can find local support groups by asking your doctor, nurse, a local hospital or other survivors or by going online. The American Cancer Society is great in setting up groups. If there is no group in her area, she can start one with the people she’s met at the doctor’s office or while having treatments. It makes a world of difference to meet with other patients or survivors who have gone through this. We also have oncology doctors, nurses, physical therapists and others who occasionally speak at our meetings. You don’t have to be alone when you have “brothers” and “sisters” within a support group. — A Bald “Sister” Dear Sister: Thanks so much for the good advice. Please know we’ll be thinking of you.
