SEVIERVILLE — The county clerk’s office finally has someone officially at the helm and the process to find a more permanent replacement for the job held until last week by Joe Keener has started with actions by the County Commission on Thursday night. Though the whole process of
accepting Keener’s resignation and installing Chief Deputy Clerk Karen Cotter to the job she’s been filling for more than two weeks took less than 20 minutes, the discussions weren’t without their surprises. One commissioner refused to vote on one of the steps because he questions the process that’s been followed, while another became deeply emotional as he spoke about his first cousin who
he says was more like a brother who is at the center of a theft and embezzlement investigation. There were only four items on the agenda for the session, including accepting the resignation Keener submitted Aug. 30, declaring the clerk’s office vacant, appointing Cotter to fill the seat for now and securing a $50,000 bond to cover her time in the post.
For her part, Cotter said she’s ready to bring a new start to a county office that has come under question since the regular county audit raised questions that led to probes by both the state comptroller’s office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. “I will try my best to restore the integrity and trust of the office,” See COMMISSION, Page A5

State agency comes to area to eradicate marijuana By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer JONES COVE — It’s harvest time for this year’s crop of marijuana in Sevier County — whether growers like it or not.

Officials gather with hopes of cutting rockslides off at the pass By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer NEWPORT — The rockslides that blanketed area roads during the cold months of 2009 and early 2010 may be gone, but transportation and tourism officials know, with another winter just ahead, there’s plenty of potential for new road blocks. That’s why federal, state and local leaders from across East Tennessee gathered in Cocke County Thursday morning, determined to make sure their efforts are as coordinated and effective as possible the next time the earth gives way. The meeting was just the first in what
they promise will be a series to address issues related to everything from how quickly contracts for repair work are granted to how word about detours is distributed. “What we’re here today to do is to learn,” Sevierville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Brenda McCroskey told the group. “Hopefully this will start some discussion and cooperation among all of us.” If that’s the case, the meeting could be the start of a huge network, with about 100 folks crowding into a Newport hotel conference room. Among them were officials from local cities, Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
and the Tennessee and North Carolina Highway Patrols. Additionally, the head table was filled with state and federal leaders including Congressmen Phil Roe and Jimmy Duncan, State Sens. Doug Overbey and Steve Southerland, and State Rep. Eddie Yokley. Republican gubernatorial candidate and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam also sat in for a brief portion of the session, while Democrat Mike McWherter sent a staff representative on his behalf. The size of the gathering seemed to surprise some of those who spoke. “I am really blown away by the attendance here

‘Single and a Mom’ Ministry prepares for second gala By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer GATLINBURG — Patti GalloBryant, founder of Single and a Mom Ministry, has been busier than ever: She now serves more than 800 mothers and their children; she’s preparing for speaking engagements in Kentucky and
Michigan in the coming weeks; and she’s also gearing up for the second annual Esther Gala. The gala is set for Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Sidney James Mountain Lodge in Gatlinburg. The gala stems from “The Esther Project,” a mission to build a home for single mothers in the Smoky Mountains. The all-day
event is meant to be “a posh day of pampering — like the Academy Awards for single moms,” GalloBryant has said. A longtime advocate for single mothers and their children, she is also founder of the Smoky Mountain Alliance for the Unborn. She ministers to women who are emotionally distressed
because of abortions and holds a memorial service for their unborn babies. She shares with them the movie “One Night With the King,” which chronicles the life of Esther, an orphan who becomes Queen of Persia and saves the Jewish nation from annihilation. See GALA, PageA4

“We want them to feel like actual queens,” she explained. The Esther Gala is open to pregnant single mothers and single mothers who had babies within the past year. The women will be treated to facials and hair and makeup appointments before heading to “Esther’s Closet,” a large room filled with clothes, jewelry and other accessories they will select to wear. They’ll then enjoy a banquet and other festivities in the evening. “They’re coming for a makeover, but what they’re really getting
is a makeover in their heart.” Rachel’s Lullaby, formerly known as The Harvest Thrift Store, offers baby and children items that she provides to single mothers for free. Patrons will notice a change in the storefront windows. “I took down the ‘Stop Abortion’ signs — this is a time for mercy,” she said. “It’s a different season here. I am a child of God, and I feel like it’s my duty to reach these women.” For more information on the ministry and the gala, contact GalloBryant at 323-3203. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

cedures used in the multimillion dollar fixes, while TDOT spokeswoman Yvette Martinez outlined the multimedia efforts the state agency used to get word out about the slides and detours. “Definitely TDOT is prepared and very equipped to handle these types of situations,” she assured the group. Beyond that, NCDOT Engineer Joel Setzer said his department is more prepared for such crises in the future thanks to their experience with the Interstate 40 slide. “We feel like we’re in a much better position now
COMMISSION 3From Page A1
Cotter assured the commission after she was sworn into the job. Speaking to The Mountain Press, Cotter said she is confident the office will be able to proceed as the county’s residents need it to. “I’m nervous under the circumstances and we’re all sad for the situation that put us in this position,” Cotter conceded, quickly adding, “but I feel like I’m capable of doing this. I think everything is ready for a new start and we’re ready to move forward.” A couple county officials offered an endorsement for Cotter, who has been in the office for 34 years and previously filled the top post on the 1992 death of County Clerk Paul Atchley. “We appreciate your willingness to step up and do this,” County Mayor Larry Waters told Cotter after swearing her in. “We know you have a great deal of knowledge about the office and we feel confident in your abilities.” Cotter’s officially assuming the post drew a standing ovation from the commissioners and the small group at the meeting, which included almost all the employees of the clerk’s office. CommissionerJimKeener also attested to Cotter’s ability to handle the job. “That office is in good hands,” Keener said. “I have confidence in Karen and all the staff. We are fortunate to have a staff like this to move on with. We’ve got some difficult days ahead, but Karen, I appreciate what you’ve done. Thank you.” Keener became emotional at several points in his comments, including a moment before thanking Cotter where he had to stop talking. He explained his being overwhelmed after the meeting ended. “Joe and I are first cousins,” he said. “My parents passed away when I was young and I spent half my time in his household and half my time in our grandparents’ home. We’ve always been like brothers. “It’s just been very difficult for me and all my family. I know I have a responsibility to my people to be
than we have been,” Setzer said. Still, there is no denying the half a year the interstate was closed was damaging. A study of the situation indicated there was a $175 million impact on the local economy thanks to the slide, which likely would have been worse had it happened in the tourism-heavy summer rather than the winter. Additionally, the hit to the world economy was estimated at $1 million per day, Setzer said. “I know how our communities live on sales tax revenue,” Roe said. “That slide closed off an artery. It is the lifeblood. That was a depression for this area. It wasn’t just a recession, that was a
here and to participate, but it’s not easy. This is just a day I never dreamed would come.” Keener said he’s spoken to the former clerk several times in the last few weeks, including the day after news of the investigation by the auditors broke. “I told Joe he didn’t have to explain anything to me. He’s family and I’m going to support him,” Keener said. “It’s very hard to see something like this happen.” For all but one of the items considered, the vote was unanimous, with the only question coming when the group debated declaring the clerk’s office vacant. While Commissioner Bryan Delius didn’t argue the post isn’t filled, he did take issue with the process that led to the opening. Delius has maintained for the last week and a half that the position became immediately vacant as soon as the resignation letter was submitted to Waters. That being the case, he said the county should have planned for a special election to allow the voters to choose someone to fill the post in conjunction with the Nov. 2 balloting. “It’s my position that vacancy was created in sufficient time to put this on the November ballot,” Delius said, pointing out all the commissioners certainly heard about the situation well before the 60-day win-
depression.” Fortunately, crews who handled the work at each site took steps to address the threat for additional slides. On Highway 441, rock bolts were drilled into the mountainside to secure the material that was left, while the compromised areas on both Highway 129 and Interstate 40 received even more extensive repairs. The event was cosponsored by the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce and the Cocke County Partnership, whose President Don Hurst told the group North Carolina’s Haywood County has already offered to host the next gathering. That meeting has not yet been scheduled, though.
dow that closed last Friday to put the matter up to a vote. “My opinion is the vacancy was created upon the public resignation.” The next step in the process calls for the commission’s Steering Committee to interview candidates for the job, settling on one of those to recommend to the full board for the job. Waters said he believes that process can move quickly. “I’m anticipating doing this in the October meeting unless there’s some reason we can’t,” he said. At the meeting the commission considers the recommendation in, any member of the board will also be able to make a nomination, as will members of the public who attend the session. Several members of the board have reported they’ve already heard discussions about people who might be aiming for the job and there’s even talk one of the commissioners is interested in filling the post. Meanwhile, Cotter said she plans to ask the Steering Committee to consider her and even hinted she might be considering seeking the voters’ endorsement when the matter finally lands on the ballot in 2012. Several members of the commission have privately vowed to break with any political effort to put someone else into the post and back Cotter. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Report: Coal pollution deadly in state CHATTANOOGA (AP) — An environmental group’s national report says that coal-fired power plants have reduced air pollutants by half since 2004, but that in Tennessee the emissions are causing about 500 deaths per year. The report commissioned by the Clean Air Task Force says Tennessee ranks eighth among states in per capita mortality risk from the emissions and has about 340 related hospital admissions and 640 heart attacks a year.
The Boston-based, nonprofit task force has worked since 1996 to reduce atmospheric pollution. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky lead in mortality risk. California, a state with very few coal-fired power plants, ranks almost last, along with Arizona and Nevada. The third “Toll from Coal” report since 2000 documents how pollution control technologies have reduced two byproducts of coal combustion — sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide

commentary
Politics must get back sense of decency In the early 1980s, in a book called “American Journey,” I calculated that American corporate chief executive officers were making 30 to 40 times as much as they paid average production workers. Looking back at that, I see that I was surprised to learn that that ratio had increased from 25-to-1 in 1970 — and that in other developed countries the ratio was closer to 10-to-1. It seems now that I was easily shocked in the good old days. Today that compensation ratio goes from 300-to-1 to almost 1,000to-1 in the United States, if you count various perks, including stock options and pensions. Massaging those numbers produces rather startling results, as recorded in a new book, “Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer — And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class” by Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson, professors, respectively, at Yale and the University of California, Berkeley. Their numbers include: -- From 1979 to 2005, the top 1 percent of American earners received 36 percent of gains in household incomes. -- During that same period, the top onetenth of one percent, the 300,000 Americans who are the richest of the rich, received 20 percent of those gains. -- The 180 million people in the bottom 60 percent received just 13.6 percent of those gains. “Winner-take-all,” they conclude, “has become the defining factor of American life.” They also assert that some of the 0.1 percent, hedge fund managers, pay lower tax rates than their secretaries. Well, we all knew those things, didn’t we? The United States middle class, probably our greatest contribution to the prosperity and to the economic and political stability of the American way, is being systematically crushed as the country moves toward becoming a land of rich and poor. There is not much original there, but what makes Hacker and Pierson different is that they argue for 350 pages that “winner-takeall economics” is caused by our “winner-takeall politics.” “Step by step and debate by debate,” they write, “America’s public officials have rewritten the rules of American politics and the American economy in ways that have benefitted the few rather than the many ... a transformation that has fundamentally changed what government does, and whom it does it for.” They describe this process as a “30year war” in which the two parties, the Republicans and Democrats, have been affected by the financing and pull of the nation’s super-rich. They credit the mobilization of the rich and of business to a 1971 confidential memo written by a Virginia business lawyer named Lewis Powell, who would later become a Supreme Court justice, who said: “Business must learn the lesson ... that political power is necessary; that such power must be assiduously cultivated; and that when necessary, it must be used aggressively and with determination — without embarrassment. ... Strength lies in organization, in careful long-range planning and implementation, in consistency of action over an indefinite period of years, in the scale of financing available only through joint effort.” “Businessmen of the World, Unite!” is a headline in the Hacker-Pierson book. And they did, pouring money and lobbyists in the Capitol — and discovering that victors, Democrats and Republicans, took all the spoils they could get. Their most important target was “moderate Democrats,” a group that included President Bill Clinton (“an Eisenhower Republican,” the authors call him) and Sen. Max Baucus of Montana — and even liberals like Charles Schumer of New York. The tactic was frontal assault by state and local business interests — in Schumer’s case, the finance industry in New York, Wall Street. Some politicians cried out. One, in 2008, said: “We’ve lost some of that sense of shared prosperity. Now, this loss has not happened by accident. It’s because of decisions made in boardrooms, on trading floors and in Washington. ... We encouraged a winner-takeall, anything-goes environment that helped foster devastating dislocations in our economy.” That was Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. We need someone saying and believing things like that to restore a sense of decency and fairness in politics and the economy. — 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
Let us not forget It’s been nine years since 9/11, but its impact still being felt Nine years later, the reverberations are still being felt — in New York City, in Shanksville, Pa., in Washington, in Arlington, Va. — indeed, across the nation. Every citizen has become exposed to the possibility of terrorist attacks on the United States, and in Afghanistan where hundreds of U.S. soldiers have died fighting al-Qaida. The world has changed drastically since Sept. 11, 2001, when four planes were commandeered by al-Qaida terrorists. Most spectacularly, two of the planes crashed into the majestic World Trade Center towers in New York City, crumbling them like houses of cards and killing over 2,000 civilians. Another plane, headed for the nation’s capital, crashed into a rural field in Pennsylvania after several brave passengers overtook the hijackers killing more than 100. The final plane hit The Pentagon in Arlington, killing 125. No longer can citizens of the United States feel comfortable that our shores are safe from enemy attacks. The Central Intelligence Agency has
uncovered numerous planned attacks — some of them with operatives lurking within our borders. People speculate about potential al-Qaida targets — perhaps the Super Bowl, the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration, some other major sporting event or a national political convention. In the last couple of months, controversy has sprung up in New York City, where there is a plan to build a mosque within two blocks of the fallen towers, now infamously known as ground zero. Everyone, it seems, from the president, to the mayor of New York to the Rev. Al Sharpton has an opinion. The debate has gotten heated and sometimes ugly. Even in our own state, Muslims had hoped to build a mosque in Murfreesboro, but that seems to have stalled with threats of violence against the owner of the proposed site. In New York, opponents point out that there are more than 100 mosques in the city and say there is a need for one close to ground zero. But in Murfreesboro,
one is left to wonder if the opposition would be so strong if not for 9/11. It appeared until late in the week that on Saturday, the biggest story emanating from Gainesville, Fla., would not be how the football Gators did against South Florida. Instead, the world exhaled when a tiny Christian and decidedly anti-Islamic Dove World Outreach Center canceled plans to burn copies of the Quran to protest the 9/11 attacks. Government and top military leaders warned that to do so would endanger U.S. troops. Even as the U.S. was formally ending its combat presence in Iraq at the end of last month, military leaders said troops would be in Afghanistan until at least 2011 and perhaps beyond. As long as those troops are there, the only thing predictable about the unpredictable al-Qaida is that its operatives will continue to plot against the U.S. It’s been nine years. The visual memories and emotional scars are still fresh. We must never forget our past as we look to guard our borders in the future.
Political view
Public forum Government not doing enough to stop flow of illegal drugs
Editor: I’m ticked off. I’m so ashamed of our Tennessee government officials. All I hear about is stop smoking and education. Take from one and throw it into the other. I don’t recommend smoking and a good education is great, but I’m finding that it seems this is the safest place for our government to hide. There are far greater things that need attention in our state. We have nothing but educated fools running our state and towns. People had more sense, common sense, back when an eighthgrade education was the limit before having to go to work. The most successful people I know in this county only had three to eight years education. It seems to me nobody has a problem put-
ting their kids behind the wheel of a 2,800pound death trap. And drugs are openly running rampant right here in our own town. George Lawson can’t fight drugs by himself and neither can we who have to live around it. It’s got to be our government officials who put down the hammer. It amazes me every time I hear someone say, “I can’t get ahead on my child support because they keep throwing me in jail.” We are having to feed these people when they could be working. However, they will put a druggie in rehab for a week and then turn them loose to sell their methadone on the streets. Drugs given to them in and after rehab. Food stamps are being used in exchange for drugs. Why is none of this being investigated or stopped? I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it and there’s nothing I can do; nothing about it. Seeing how cigarettes and education is such a safe space for our government and our-
selves, we fail to see the real dangers under our noses. I’ve never known cigarettes to alter the mind, causing stabbings, wrecking, cheating, fighting or overdosing. Technology is killing our kids’ minds. They can’t use their own minds anymore. They depend on computers to do their thinking for them. Will this lead to early Alzheimer’s in our children? Is this why they turn to drugs? Because their minds are weak? Think about the picture and tell me what’s wrong with it. Also, the editor of The Mountain Press needs to quit sugar-coating everything like a 15-year-old driving a race car. We need more people like Pigeon Forge City Commissioner Randal Robinson. Who’s this paper for, tourists or the locals who know better? Elizabeth Ownby Sevierville

PREP FOOTBALL
Highlanders hope to remain unbeaten By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders are the lone undefeated football team in Sevier County, and in order to stay that way they’ll need to be on top of their game tonight against the visiting Sullivan East Patriots. Although the Patriots (0-3) are winless so far this season, they’ve faced some tough competition against teams with a combined mark of 6-1. And although the Highlanders (2-0) have
yet to lose, they’ve beaten teams with a combined 0-6 mark. So the records can be thrown out the door for tonight’s battle at Hammonds Field. “Every team we’ve played so far is 0-3 now,” said 39th-year G-P coach Benny Hammonds. “But Sullivan East is the best of the 0-3, and they come from a higher classification than us. “They’ve got more speed, size and talent than anyone we’ve played so far, and they’ve played a tough schedule. They’ve got a good ball club, and they’ve
got four really good players and they’re sound at every position.” The Patriots are also well coached under firstyear Sullivan East leader Nick Colobro. But just because Colobro is new to the Patriots, it doesn’t mean he’s new to the game of football. Colobro is the former head coach for Gate City High School in southwest Virginia. He was a prep player on two state championship teams and went on to lead Gate City to two more state championships as a coach. Colobro was known
for his rushing attack at Gate City, and he’s carried that over to Sullivan East, where the Wing-T formation is employed frequently. “There’s a lot of sideways motion, and that will give us trouble,” said Hammonds. Leading the Patriots dangerous ground attack is junior running back Austin Glover. “Austin Glover is a good football player,” said Hammonds. “They’ve got some good talent that we’ve got to keep hemmed up, and hopefully we can score more than they score.
They’re going to be hard to keep out of the end zone.” A key to tonight’s battle will be defensive end play for G-P, which has already presented some problems for the Highlanders this season. Although junior D.J. Ball has been solid at one end spot, the Highlanders have already lost two defensive ends for the season due to knee injuries in senior Turner Merritt and junior Terry Phillips. So G-P will employ a defensive end by committee approach tonight against Sullivan East, including seniors Dusty
PREP FOOTBALL
Bilbrey and Dillon Reagan, and junior Ty Smith. “We’re just going to have to be good tacklers on defense more than anything,” said Hammonds. “And we’ll have to play with our eyes, because of all that sideways motion that makes it hard to see the football. “They really like to work on your defensive ends and double team them a lot. But you still have to defend the whole field against them.” Although the Highlanders have had See HIGHLANDERS, Page A10

D-B Indians hunting revenge
A win over Cosby ‘important’ for Tigers By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Smoky Bears faithful might have been surprised by Jefferson County last week, but this week everybody knows exactly what’s coming — the state’s No. 4-ranked Dobyns-Bennett Indians. While the fourth-ranked team in the state is never a team to overlook, these Indians (3-0) are bringing in some special weapons that could be plenty challenging for a Bears’ team (2-1) coming off of an upsetting loss to the Patriots. The Indians utilize a power running style led by fourth-year starter Chris Sensabaugh. Sensabaugh is averaging 7.5 yards-per-carry this season for D-B, scoring seven TDs while his team has routed all of its opponents — Farragut, Clinton and Sullivan Central. And that’s not even the first of Sevier County coach Steve Brewer’s worries. “Dobyns-Bennett runs a pressure defense, so we’ve got to get better,” the coach said earlier this week, alluding to his offensive line’s less than stellar play in last weeks’ loss, which saw the Patriots defense record six sacks on QB Danny Chastain. Add to that the loss of starting safety Tyler Wischer, who sustained a back injury last week, and the Bears could be fighting an uphill battle. But Brewer likes Wischer’s replacements, and believes they will odo well. “Hopefully we’ll have people step up,” Brewer said. “Cullen Lavoi got a lot of snaps the other night and did a good

Sevier County’s J.P. Caylor
SEVIERVILLE — The Seymour Eagles may have been the road team Thursday at Eagle’s Landing Golf Club, but they sure didn’t play like it. The visitors swept the homestanding Smoky Bears in boys and girls action, beating the SCHS boys 174-176 and the girls 96-134. The Megan Gamble and Kreistyn Baldridge both turned in scores of 48 in the girls match, while their Sevier County opponents, Grace Huskey and Lindsey Smith, tallied a 60 and 74, repsectively. The boys matchup was much more competitive. “It was a good close match,” SCHS coach Ken Wright said, pointing out that the players further down on the roster all turned
in good matches. Seymour’s Justice Murphy had an off day with a 47, but his teammates Parker Rudder (41), Michael Bennett (42) and Lance Galyon (44) picked him up. Sevier County senior J.P. Caylor also played a few strokes above his average with a 42. Andrew Newton was the low scorer for the Bears with a 41. Ben Huskey (46) and Kenzie Warren (47) rounded out the scoring for the home team. The two teams will meet up again next Tuesday at Creekside Plantation in Seymour with Union County added into the mix. Tee time is set for 4 p.m.
PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers are looking to finally get into the win column this week as they travel to Cosby. A win against the Eagles is “very important,” according to Tigers coach Lee Hammonds. “It’s very important for our program,” Hammonds said. “You don’t gain anything if you lose a ballgame, I don’t care if you’re losing to two tough opponents like we did the first two weeks or who you’re losing to. “It’s very important to our program to get as many wins as we can, and we’ve got a great opportunity Friday night.” Standing in the Tigers’ way will be Robert Herzog, the Cosby Eagles’ shifty quarterback. “He may be one of the best athletes we see all year,” Hammonds said. “He does everything. He kicks off, he’s the kick returner, he’s the punt returner, he’s the punter, the’s the extra-point man, he’s the quarterback, he’s can move to receiver, he plays free safety on defense. There’s just a lot of things he can do. “They do a good job utilizing him, and we’ve got to do a good job stopping him,” Hammonds added. The Tigers will have running back Chase Travis back for the game after missing time in the first three contest with a high ankle sprain. “He didn’t practice Monday, but he’s practiced every day this week. He’s a still little sore,” Hammonds said. But the coach said his Tigers have another weapon they’ll

WORLD BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS
US hoops beats Russia, 89-79, moves into semis at worlds By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer ISTANBUL — Chauncey Billups made the promise. Kevin Durant made sure it was kept. And by beating Russia on Thursday, the Americans brought a little joy to one of the players who will never forget what happened against the Soviets exactly 38 years earlier.
Durant scored 33 points to lead the United States to an 89-79 victory that moved it within two wins of its first world basketball championship since 1994. The victory came on the anniversary of the Soviet Union’s win over the Americans for the 1972 Olympic gold medal, a game with an ending so controversial the U.S. players refused to accept
their silver medals. No player on the young American team is old enough to remember that game — many are barely old enough to remember the Cold War. But Mike Bantom, the NBA’s senior vice president of player development, played on that U.S. team and is in Turkey with the Americans. “I told him today, ’I
know nothing’s going to bring that back, man, but at least we’ll try to make you at least smile today,’ “ Billups said. “And he was like, ’Yeah, that’d be nice.”’ Durant ensured there would be no worries at the finish of this one, shooting 11 of 19 while just missing Carmelo Anthony’s world championship team record of 35 points, set in 2006.
“We’re going to go to him,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I’ve learned in coaching you should get your best player the ball.” The U.S. will play Saturday against Lithuania, which beat Argentina 10485. Host Turkey and Serbia will play in the other semifinal. The U.S. and Russia have met many times since 1972,
including a U.S. victory 16 years ago in Toronto that gave the Americans their last world championship. And there isn’t much of a rivalry anymore between the nations — the NBA even opened an office in Moscow on Thursday. But the memory hasn’t faded of the clash in Munich, where the Soviets See USA, Page A11

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICTIONS
Expect three wins for local prep teams tonight It’s Week 3 already? Where has the time gone? As the days and weeks fly by, the nights come sooner and the temperature begins to drop. Welcome to the best time of the year. Welcome to football season. And what better way to celebrate it than with some intriguing gridiron matchups. I expect some tough, close battles tonight. And I expect three of the four county teams to pick up wins. Here’s why:

For Pigeon Forge to win tonight, they’ll likely need some aerial action, like this catch sophomore receiver Kaleb Black hauled in during the Sevier County Jamboree on August 13. Priority Two is to limit the hard-charging northsouth junior running back Nick Koenig, who hits holes fast and looks to be the one dishing out the hits on any would-be tacklers. If the Tigers can limit those two Cosby stars, they should be able to take away their first win of the season, especially if they can get the ball into slot receiver Kaleb Black’s hands in space. The sophomore pass-catcher has shown great potential at the position and is a definite downfield weapon. Cobey’s pick: Pigeon Forge 24, Cosby 20 Jason’s pick: Pigeon Forge 28, Cosby 16 • Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders host Sullivan East Patriots Don’t let the records fool you. The 2-0 GatlinburgPittman Highlanders are in a battle tonight when the 0-3 Sullivan East Patriots come to town. The Patriots three losses have come against teams with a combined 6-1 record, while the Highlanders two wins have come against teams with a combined 0-6 mark. Sullivan East is grow-
ing as a team under a new coach who was a former high school state champion coach in Virginia. The Pats Wing-T rushing attack — full of deceptive sideways motion — will surely test the Highlanders at defensive end tonight. While junior D.J. Ball has been a solid force at one end spot, the other side of the line has been a sore spot this year for G-P after losing both Turner Merritt and Terry Phillips to season-ending knee injuries. So it’s been defensive
end by committee for G-P since, at least on one side of the line, and that committee better be ready to play tonight. This game will be a good test for the Highlanders before beginning district play next week against No. 5 state-ranked Gibbs. I’m going with the Blue and Gold tonight, because learning how to win for a new coach is often a difficult process and is quite different than playing tough and keeping it close. Until Sullivan East actu-
ally puts up a ‘W’ it’s hard to pick them, especially against a team with a coach going for his 301st career win with the same program. Cobey’s pick: G-P 31, Sullivan East 28 Jason’s pick: G-P 24, Sullivan East 21 Record for 2010: Jason 9-1 Cobey 8-2 chitchcock@themountainpress.com

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
It’s official: Gamecocks are under NCAA probe By JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina received formal notification Thursday that the NCAA is investigating its football program. The letter of inquiry doesn’t specify any potential violations, but could signal weeks or months of uncertainty for the team. The NCAA has questioned South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders about an agent-hosted party in Miami. Saunders and starting left tackle Jarriel King were among several players asked to move out a Columbia hotel after questions were raised over unpaid bills and the rates the players were being charged. After practice Thursday, Spurrier had to confirm with an athletic spokesman the school had received the letter, then said he had no comment on the investigation. “I’m concerned about trying to do whatever I can to help our team beat Georgia,” Spurrier said. “That’s all I am concerned about, that’s all the players are concerned about.” Saunders has been suspended indefinitely from the team since last month for reasons Spurrier said were unrelated to the NCAA probe. King and first-team
“I’m concerned about trying to do whatever I can to help our team beat Georgia. That’s all I am concerned about, that’s all the players are concerned about.” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, spurning reporters questions about the investigation
cornerback Chris Culliver missed the No. 24 Gamecocks opener against Southern Mississippi because the NCAA had not ruled on their eligibility. Spurrier said Thursday the team still hasn’t heard if the pair will be eligible for Saturday’s game against the No. 22 Bulldogs. “Should hear something tomorrow, but it could be Saturday morning,” Spurrier said Thursday night on his radio show. Georgia will be without star receiver A.J. Green, who was suspended Wednesday for four games for selling his bowl jersey for $1,000. The NCAA investigation is something new for Spurrier, whose teams have never faced major trouble in his 20 years at Duke, Florida or South Carolina. “It is the first time in my
coaching career that we have had sort of these kinds of issues. I realize now how they can happen,” Spurrier said last week. “As coaches, we’ve all done the same things we’ve always done throughout the summer, but all of the sudden, some things happen.” The university will cooperate fully with the NCAA, president Harris Pastides said. “I assure our fans and community that we will do what is right for the university. Winning and playing by the rules go hand in hand. And playing by the rules is the only way to win,” Pastides said in a statement. South Carolina was placed on three years of probation in 2005 for five major and five minor violations under coach Lou Holtz. Holtz was only named in a secondary violation, accused of talking to two prospects with a media member present. The major violations included a senior associate athletic director arranging for impermissible tutoring during the summer. The NCAA said the administrator, Tom Perry, also allowed the school’s compliance director to knowingly submit an inaccurate summary of the tutoring to the NCAA and discouraged others on his staff from reporting possible rules violations.

Coach Steve Brewer talks to a bunch of disappointed Bears after last week’s gut-wrenching loss to Jefferson County. The Smoky Bears visitors this week are the state’s No. 4 6A team and are looking to avenge SCHS’s 30-13 win last season.

job, and Dillon Cate also comes in and plays some safety. It leaves us a little bit thinner, but when somebody gets hurt, whoever’s behind him has got to step up. I thought Cullen had a pretty good game Friday night.” Though history in the series favors DobynsBennett — the Indians are
4-13 against the Smoky Bears since the two teams started playing annually in 1993 — last year’s Purple and White squad emerged from Kingsport with a 30-13 win over the Tribe. The Indians went on to have the team’s first losing record in 25 years, putting up a 5-6 mark. This year’s D-B team looks decidedly different from last year however, having beaten their first three opponents (two of
which made the playoffs in ‘09) by a combined score of 133-28. “We’re trying to get ready for a good team, plus get over a disappointing loss,” Brewer said. “We put ourselves in a bad position and now we’ve got to fight our way out.” The Bears and Indians kick off at 7:30 at Burchfield Stadium. mpsports@themountainpress.com

were given a third chance after the Americans stopped them twice in the final 3 seconds, and they eventually scored on the second do-over for a 51-50 victory — the Americans’ first Olympic loss after 63 victories. David Blatt, Russia’s American-born coach, reopened some scars that will never heal for members of that U.S. team this week when he said he’d watched a film about the game and believed the outcome was fair. Krzyzewski responded that, of course, Blatt would have that opinion as a Russian — which Blatt is not. He was born in the United States and went to Princeton. Blatt stuck by his feelings about that game, but said his comments this week were taken out of context and the resulting back-and-forth was just gamesmanship. “Coach K knows as well as I do that disagreeing or agreeing is generally very American,� Blatt said. “We don’t all have to see things the same way.� Blatt’s team looked poised to deal the Americans more heartbreak, running its offense well in the first half and capitalizing on its size advantage inside to frustrate the U.S.
Then, leading by only five in the third quarter, the Americans finally began forcing the Russians into mistakes, which they turned into transition baskets that finally allowed them to shake free. Russell Westbrook dunked after a turnover, hit a 3-pointer, came up with a steal and had another dunk to key a decisive 15-5 spurt that pushed the U.S. lead to 65-50. The Oklahoma City guard converted a three-point play to open the scoring in the fourth, and Durant’s brilliance from there helped the Americans further extend it in the fourth. Billups scored 15 points and Westbrook finished with 12, including seven in a row for the Americans when their athleticism finally turned away a Russian team that had the pace to its liking for the first half. “I think some of us, we kind of started off a little slow and then didn’t jump on them early, and tonight that was a big problem for us,� Westbrook said. “Then second half, we kind of got into our rhythm.� The Americans finished with a 22-2 advantage in fast-break points and a 20-2 edge in points off turnovers. Sergey Bykov scored 17 points for Russia, which exceeded expectations in this tournament after coming to the worlds without some of its top talent, most
notably Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, the MVP of their 2007 European championship. Andrey Vorontsevich had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Timofey Mozgov, recently signed by the New York Knicks, scored 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting. The Americans missed 17 of their first 25 shots, rotated too slowly on defense, and were outworked on the boards while trailing for much of the first half. The U.S. built an early six-point advantage before Mozgov began to control the middle. He hit all four of his shots in the first quarter, twice while getting fouled, and his last basket tied it at 25 heading to the second period. Russia got the first two baskets of that quarter, starting with an embarrassingly easy drive into the lane for an uncontested layup by Dmitriy Khvostov. The Russians pushed their lead to 35-30 midway through the period on consecutive baskets by Bykov, and only then did the Americans start digging in on defense. They held Russia without a basket for more than 4 minutes, running off 12 straight points to take a seven-point lead, before going into the locker room ahead 44-39. The Russians will play in the consolation bracket, still hoping to finish fifth.

NEW ORLEANS — Perhaps it would have been too cruel if the last pass Brett Favre threw in his spectacular career was an ill-advised and arguably game-losing interception in the Minnesota Vikings’ NFC title match with the New Orleans Saints last January. Never mind that it occurred in the Louisiana Superdome — where he won his only Super Bowl with Green Bay back in 1997, a stadium less than an hour’s drive from his hometown of Kiln, Miss., and against the team he rooted for growing up. For the most part, Favre had been fantastic at 40, and that was no way to go out. Sure enough, he was back in the Louisiana Superdome for the NFL’s opener on Thursday night. There would be one more season — his 20th — and more memories of an exceptional NFL career. “I do feel as confident as I did this time last year, maybe even a little more confident,� Favre said. “I didn’t know what to expect last year.� Tracy Porter’s interception at the end of regulation in the NFC championship, which saved the Saints’ Super Bowl run, overshadowed a magnificent performance by the Vikings quarterback. Favre took a beating but kept slinging scintillating completions in a 310-yard night that made him the all-time leader in playoff yards passing, ahead of Joe Montana. “We hit him a lot last year. You should see the throws that he was making. It was amazing to watch, actually,� Saints safety Roman Harper
said. “It really blew me away how accurate he was amid all the pressure. He’d be off his back foot and zing it 20 to 25 yards on a rope. That’s the Brett Favre part that’s r e a l l y amazing to watch because you just don’t see a lot of quarterbacks that are able to do that.� When Favre hobbled off the field with a gimpy ankle on Jan. 24, 2010, not even he knew if he’d ever play again. So began what seems to have become an annual ritual of waffling until halfway into the preseason, when Favre decided he would not retire for a third time and instead come back for at least one more season. Recently, he said it would be his last — take that for what it’s worth — and he seemed pleased that he would kick off his 20th season with a return trip to the Superdome. After all, that gave him the chance to join the long-suffering Saints fans he grew up with for the unfurling of the franchise’s first championship banner. “It was mixed emotions going there last year as I grew up a huge Saints fan,� Favre said. “I was no different than all the other Saints fans throughout the years. You just lived to wait for another year and say ’We are going to get it next year.’ “It is close to home — and I don’t know if that is good or bad considering all the ticket requests we are always getting,� Favre said, before adding, “It is fun to go back there.�
Favre will be 41 on Oct. 10, and although he had a career best passer-rating of 107.2 last season, there was no telling how affective he would be this year following surgery on this left ankle and an injection to, in his words, lubricate “where it’s bone on bone.� “It remains to be seen if it will work,� Favre said this week. With Favre’s return coming against the defending champs in the first game of the NFL season, there was a big-game build-up to the opening kickoff. NFLsponsored pre-game festivities included a concert in the French Quarter featuring Dave Matthews and Taylor Swift, along with a Mardi Gras-style parade Tailgaters were setting up around the Superdome, on the edge of downtown, at noon, and there did not appear to be a lot of work being done. Some government offices, business and schools shut down as if it were a state holiday. The big difference, of course, is that both teams have another 15 games scheduled this season. So for Favre and the Vikings, the biggest concern wouldn’t be the final score of the first game on the schedule. It would be how Favre, who has still never missed a start in his career (285 straight in the regular season, 309 including playoffs) would feel in the days, weeks or months ahead. “In all honesty, this game is totally different from (the NFC championship), for obvious reasons,� Favre said. “Both teams will continue to play. “Don’t get me wrong. I want to win this game as much as I wanted to win last year’s game, (but) it is a different mindset.�

Cowboys give WR Miles Austin long-awaited new deal IRVING, Texas (AP) — Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin is going deep with the Dallas Cowboys — from undrafted rookie to a breakout season and now a long-term contract extension. The Cowboys and Austin agreed to a six-year extension through the 2016 season on Thursday, just three days before the fifth-year player’s first season opener as a starter. “My career started here, you guys gave me a shot and obviously I put my all out there every day,� said Austin, who was pulled out of offensive meetings for the unexpected yet unsurprising announcement. “It feels great to be wanted by this team because I want to be here.� Austin agreed a $3.168 million one-year contract in June, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had repeat-
edly said he wanted to sign the receiver to a longterm deal. That finally got done just before the season opener at Washington. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones would only confirm the length of the extension, not the financial terms. Austin’s agent, David Dunn, didn’t return messages to The Associated Press. A story posted Thursday night on the Cowboys’ official team website said the extension was worth about $54 million. That is on top of the deal for this season. In his first career start last October at Kansas City, Austin had 10 catches for a team-record 250 yards and two late touchdowns, including the 60-yard game-winner in overtime. He broke the single-game yardage record held by Hall of Fame receiver “Bullet Bob� Hayes since 1966.

Minister cancels Qurans burning By ANTONIO GONZALEZ Associated Press Writer GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Florida minister who had created an international furor with his plan to burn the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks canceled the event under intense pressure Thursday, saying he agreed to back off after reaching a deal to move the location of a controversial mosque near New York’s ground zero. The Rev. Terry Jones announced his decision Thursday afternoon, standing outside his small church alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. However, Musri and the imam planning the New York mosque disputed Jones’ contention that a deal had been cut. After the news conference, Musri told The Associated Press there was an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday — on the actual anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero. “I told the pastor that I personally believe the mosque should not be there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is moved,” Musri said. “But there is not any offer from there (New York) that it will be moved. All we have agreed to is a meeting, and
I think we would all like to see a peaceful resolution.” Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said he was surprised by the announcement and that he would not barter. Jones, the pastor of a Florida Pentecostal church of 50 members, has said that he believes the Quran is evil because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims. Jones on Thursday said he prayed about the decision and that if the site of the mosque was moved, it would be a sign from God to call off the Quran burning. “We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans,” Jones said during the news conference. “We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it.” His decision comes after a firestorm of criticism from leaders around the world. President Barack Obama, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and several Christian leaders had urged Jones to reconsider his plans. They said his actions would endanger U.S. soldiers and provide a strong recruitment tool for Islamic extremists. Jones’ protest also drew criticism from religious and political leaders from across the Muslim world. They warned that the plan would put Americans in danger around the world.

s tate B R I E F S State minister plans to burn Quran
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A former Springfield pastor says he intends to burn a Quran privately at his home on Saturday to mark the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Rev. Bob Old said his plans, which were first reported Thursday by The Tennessean, have nothing to do with the Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Center Outreach in Gainesville, Fla. Jones had planned to burn the holy book that day but has now canceled those plans. Old said he plans to post a video of his burning on YouTube. Old, 59, said a number of people have contacted him in hopes of participating with burning the Quran, but he’s not invited anyone to join him.
Bredesen not aware of regents law Associated Press
Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center speaks to the media as Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida looks on at left on Thursday in Gainesville, Fla. In Afghanistan, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted “Death to the Christians” to protest the planned Quran burning. Musri thanked Jones and his church members “for making the decision today to defuse the situation and bring to a positive end what has become the world over a spectacle that no one would benefit from except extremists and terrorists” who would use it to recruit future radicals. Russ Blackburn, Gainesville city manager: “It’s very good news for Gainesville and good news for everyone involved.” Jones’ neighbors in
Gainesville, a city of 125,000 anchored by the sprawling University of Florida campus, also have said they disapprove. At least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organizations in the city have mobilized to plan inclusive events — some will read from the Quran at their own weekend services. Jones’ Dove Outreach Center is independent of any denomination. It follows the Pentecostal tradition, which teaches that the Holy Spirit can manifest itself in the modern day. Pentecostals often view themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against satanic forces.
NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen says he had not been aware that state law required him to appoint some Republican members to the Tennessee Board of Regents. The Chattanooga Times Free Press quoted Bredesen, a Democrat, as saying Thursday the matter would be “fixed up.” Some Republicans have complained their party is not properly represented on the 17-member board, which oversees six state universities, 13 community colleges and 26 technology centers. Bredesen said he had been trying hard to be nonpartisan.
Ex-Marine guilty of weapons smuggling
CHATTANOOGA (AP) — A former Marine who’s an ex-deputy sheriff has pleaded guilty in federal court in Chattanooga to smuggling firearms out of Iraq while he was deployed. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release that Matthew Pickett, of Cleveland, entered his plea in court Thursday. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Prosecutors said Pickett was deployed to Iraq in 2004 and confiscated dozens of weapons from Iraqis. Investigators said he and others in his unit smuggled two AK-47 assault rifles and grenades back to the United States by hiding them in a vehicle’s fuel tank.

Sydney, left, and Peyton Proffitt recently returned from a Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Camp in the Catskills Mountains of New York State.
The Proffitts of Camp Girls improve acting skills at summer camp By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor The end of the summer is especially bittersweet for sisters Peyton and Sydney Proffitt. The Sevier County High School students are back in the swing of things at school, but their thoughts often return to New York, where they spent several weeks honing their acting skills and reuniting with friends they’ve made over the last four to five years. The Proffitt sisters, daughters of Todd Proffitt and Missy and Brad Dalton, again attended summer camp in the Catskill Mountains of New York with Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Camp. The annual trips started about five years ago after Tammy Leo took her daughter and Sydney there to see her son, Drew Simmons, when he attended the camp. “She called me and said, I don’t care what I have to do, these are my people,” Dalton said of her youngest daughter’s first experience with the camp. Dalton said she balked at first. At the time, Sydney was about to be 10 and the idea of sending her off to a camp for more than three weeks and 12 hours away from home was not something she was ready to think about. But after a lot of begging and pleading, she

if she could stay for the second session. The next year, Peyton checked out the camp and fell for it just as her See Proffitts, Page B2

younger sister did. “She said this is all I’ve ever want to do,” her mom said. In all the years since, neither Peyton, 16, nor Sydney, 14, has changed her mind about the camp; in fact, it’s only helped them solidify their career choices. “It’s just great. I love it,” said Sydney. “Everyone there is just like me. I can walk down the hall singing show tunes and other students start singing with me.” “Year after year I fall more in love with the camp,” Peyton said. But the camp is not your normal summer camp with arts, crafts and games. The days are filled with classes and rehearsals, with a few moments left for recreation. Sydney said their days started before 8 a.m. and didn’t end until after 10 p.m. But what happened in those 14 hours more than made up for any exhaustion. For example, Peyton’s group this year had the opportunity to work with the writer of the musical “Avenue Q,” Jeff Whitty. While appropriate for an adult audience, the musical wasn’t quite ready for younger audiences, so Peyton said they were able to work with Whitty to adapt it for teens and college students. She also earned a role in the musical, in which puppetry is used, adding to her list of acting experiences. She also got to add an award to the list, receiving recognition as the outstanding ensemble member in a musical for her role in “Avenue Q.” Sydney got to try out her dramatic acting, something she’s been wanting to do for several years but hadn’t had the chance to try. Even though she was encouraged to do another musical, she asked to be considered for a dramatic

Drama is my thing.” It must be. Sydney won for outstanding achievement in a drama. Both of their awards were voted on by their peers, making it all the sweeter. Both girls said they have developed lasting friendships with people from all over the world and have learned a lot not only about acting, but different cultures. Peyton said her roommates at camp included
a Muslim, an agnostic, an atheist and an Orthodox Jew. That led to long theological discussions that have expanded her knowledge of the world. “I get to immerse
myself in different cultures,” she said. It’s an experience they will continue to take each year, as long as their grades stay up. Dalton said that’s one of the requirements for their continued involvement in the camps. Good behavior is another and she said she doesn’t often have to threaten to take away the privilege because the girls work hard to earn the right to go. There may be a third member of the family ready to try his hand at the camp, as well. Their younger brother Parker, 11, has just signed up for his school’s drama club. He’s already done a few commercials for local businesses. “He’s really funny,” Peyton said of her brother. “He’s good at improv,” Sydney added. Both Peyton and Sydney are thinking about their futures. Peyton would like to concentrate on writing and directing. Her dream, she said, is to write for “Saturday Night Live.” Sydney wants to be on the other side of the camera, performing in dramas. Acting on the advice of a well-dressed woman who approached her in their New York hotel and struck up a conversation with her, Sydney said she’ll probably major in medicine and minor in acting. So who knows, Peyton could write a script for a medical drama and Sydney could be the star.

you and great for others with whom you associate when you really believe in yourself, in your goals and in your work. Another thing of importance is to be thankful for the people who are in your corner. These are the people who help you to become what you have the potential to become. It’s great to know you have someone pulling for you, ready to help you when you fall and ready to cheer for you when you succeed. When you are down, look up to people who display good qualities and hard work. Respect what they have achieved and how far they have come. Get turned on by others’ optimistic attitudes. They also have their struggles and are working through them, so show them empathy and exhibit sincerity when dealing with them. Likewise, be attuned to those who may be more discouraged than you. When down, keep in mind the sign that psychologist and PulitzerPrize winning author Erik Erikson (19021994) said he saw behind a bar in a western town: “I ain’t what I ought to be, and I ain’t what I’m going to be. But I ain’t what I was!” And, never lose sight of the presence and power of God in your life and in the lives of others. — © 2010 by Carl Mays, speaker and author whose mentoring site, www.MyMerlin. net, is based on his book and program, “A Strategy For Winning.” E-mail to carlmays@ carlmays.com, call 4367478 or visit www.carlmays.com.

The luau line at a recent fundraiser for Gatlinburg’s new Anna Porter Public Library. The drive to pay off the new facility continues with the fifth and final Library Luau Sept. 16 at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.
Dress is ‘penguin casual’ for luau Submitted Report GATLINBURG — The new Anna Porter Public Library will benefit from the fifth and final Library Luau on Sept. 16 at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. This year’s theme is a “Black And White Affair,” in honor of the penguin exhibit in Ripley’s aquarium. Dress is “penguin casual,” meaning anything black and white. “We are so close to fully funding the library, but we’re not there yet,” said Steve Kemp, chairman of the APPL Board of Trustees, which has been instrumental in the community’s drive to build the $1.7 million facility. “We need the community to support another great Library Luau,” said Diandra Trotter, who is chairwoman of this year’s Last Library Luau Committee. “We can satisfy our obligation to the City of Gatlinburg with a $25,000 payment. Ripley’s Aquarium pledged all the proceeds from five luaus. This is the last one and we very much appreciate their contribution and all the support of the community.” The luau is an islandthemed party held throughout the aquari-

um starting at 5:30 p.m. The $75 ticket includes seafood, hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine, live music and door prizes. “Buy a ticket to help fund the library and come out to have a good time,” Trotter said. All proceeds finance the facility named for the woman who founded Gatlinburg’s first library in her own home 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. “When it was built by the city in 1972, it was considered to be the Cadillac of small public libraries,” he said. “But it was not designed for the technological needs of today, and there was little free parking. That has all changed with the
new building.” The new library next to the Gatlinburg Community Center sports ample parking as well as trolley service. Purchase a taxdeductible ticket to the luau at the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce, Ripley’s Aquarium, or at the library. Tickets are $75 for adults and $10 for children.

In his book, “Transitions,” William Bridges shares a story told by southern humorist Bob Burns. Burns said he left home and began eating army food after 18 years of his mother’s deep-fat frying. A week of bland GI meals was enough to cure something he never realized he had: heartburn. But rather than feeling relief at his improvement, Burns rushed to the dispensary, clutching his stomach and yelling, “Doc! Doc! Help me! I’m dying! My fire went out!” At times, and to different degrees, everyone experiences his or her “fire going out.” We often refer to it as burnout or running out of steam or becoming disinterested in what used to turn us on. At such times, we tend to become somewhat jaded and rather cynical of situations and people. Bitterness creeps in. I recently ran across a man in his thirties who has begun suffering from this malady. Still a young man, he is at what I would term a stagnant stage in his life. His personal and business visions have not materialized and now he is experiencing his own brand of combat fatigue. With a tendency toward a manic-depressive disposition, he does apparently get excited about some things sometimes. But from what I gather, both the “highs” and the “lows” are becoming lower and lower. In a previous column I wrote about receiving a letter from a correctional institution inmate. I told of how well he expressed himself and how the words of this young man in his late twenties indicated he is truly wanting to learn from his mistakes and build on them. I responded to him and received another letter yesterday in which he wrote, “I will definitely keep your letter for times I am down or discouraged, which, to be honest, is more often than not. I suppose most of my depression stems from the environment I am in now, along with the anxiety from the obstacles I will face when I get out. But I am looking forward to those obstacles at the same time, because I have hope and confidence I will overcome each and every one.” Should you, reader, grow discouraged, disappointed, depressed or disenchanted, take time to make sure you know what you want. This allows you to see the relationship between what you do today and how it affects your future. It is great for

Family facing split because of attitudes about race

Dear Annie: Three years ago, our daughter, “Lucy,” married a wonderful biracial man, and they now have a beautiful little girl. Our son-inlaw has a great job and is a positive influence in Lucy’s life. She is going back to school to obtain a career in a related field, and we are helping her with the tuition. We also have a son, who is married and has a lovely wife, a 5-yearold daughter and a baby boy on the way. Lucy loves her niece and used to spend a lot of time with her. However, her brother decided that since she married outside her race, she no longer exists and he refuses all contact. While he doesn’t directly antagonize her, this major slight drives Lucy crazy, and if they are ever near each other, she turns it into a confrontation. We have no idea where our son’s bigoted reaction comes from. No one else in the family is like this. Needless to say, his attitude doesn’t facilitate a family get-together. We love both of our kids and grandkids and try to divide our time equally between them. Our son doesn’t lecture us about visiting his sister and her family — he doesn’t say anything about them at all. But when our daughter hears that we have talked to her brother, she calls us bigots by association and cuts off all communication. We don’t endorse his bigotry and have been unable to change his viewpoint, which he feels is sanctified by his church. Is there any hope to reunite this family? — Frustrated Father in Sarasota Dear Sarasota: Not
unless your son changes his racist attitude. But your daughter should learn to differentiate between her brother’s abhorrent views and those of the people who love him. Now that she has a child of her own, point out how that bond doesn’t end because the child grows up to have wrongheaded opinions. Sympathize with her position, but explain that her demands are unfair to you. You also can mention that the only possibility of helping her brother become more enlightened is if you continue to talk to him. We hope he’ll come around. Dear Annie: My best friend of 10 years is getting married next June. She casually mentioned that being in the wedding might be too much of a financial burden for me. But instead of informing me personally that she had asked another friend, I found the bridal party list on Facebook. It’s her wedding, and she has a right to choose her bridesmaids. And I don’t want to be the miffed drama queen, but I am deeply hurt. Am I wrong for feeling upset that my socio-economic status was the reason I wasn’t chosen? — Connecticut Dear Connecticut: Your friend did not handle this very graciously.

afford to participate. But we will give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she wanted to save you the embarrassment of bowing out or having to risk going into debt. Please try to forgive her. Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “The Girlfriend,” who complained about the behavior of her livein’s 14-year-old daughter. As a marriage and family counselor, I regularly witness the deterioration of family relationships, especially those between divorced fathers and their children. Girlfriends come and go, but a commitment to a child is made when that child is born and should, but often doesn’t, take precedence over ensuing romantic relationships that come along after the child’s parents separate or divorce. Our society’s cavalier attitude toward divorce and cohabitation in no way negates our children’s need for both parents. — Iowa Advocate for Kids Dear Iowa: We completely agree.
