By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer

Local, Page A3

SEVIERVILLE — The Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge Airport has a brand new look. The new terminal, about twice the size of the old one at 8,000 square feet, is now open. The new terminal cost about $1.6 million, paid for mostly with grants obtained by the Airport Authority. It includes some new additions and technology, but most of all it includes new and improved space for staff and for visitors. “We’d outgrown the other one,” Manger Don Baker said. “Right now it feels great (to be in the new ter-

Youth bring Broadway to Pigeon Forge High school, college students join forces for production By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Area high school and college students will take you back to your school days when they perform in “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?” at 2 and 7 p.m. Sept. 27 and Oct. 3 at Pigeon Forge High School. Local entertainer Wally Calderon directs the musical, which is a coming-of-age story that follows eight students from the second grade in the 1950s to their senior year in Catholic school. “It’s a light and cute story,” Calderon said. “It covers the naiveté of kids, things like them noticing the opposite sex. It’s not done very often. It ran on Broadway for a short time, then in Chicago for several years.” The show features a cast of 12 students from PFHS, Sevier

‘Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?’ When: 2 and 7 p.m. Sept. 27 and Oct. 3 Where: Pigeon Forge High School n Who: Students from area high schools and Walters State Community College n Tickets: $10 public, $5 students n n

County High School, GatlinburgPittman High School and Walters State Community College. Calderon, a Wisconsin native with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Ohio Northern University, moved to Sevier County to work with the musical production “Swing Time” at the Grand Majestic Theater and then to work at The Miracle Theater. With his independent production company, G.C. Productions, he hopes to continue to give local youth the opportunity to be involved in theater. “This is my personal ministry,” Calderon said. “I really want the community to see what we have going on here.” Based on the 1975 John R. Powers book by the same name, “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes

Really Reflect Up?” features music and lyrics by James Quinn and Alaric Jans. Musical numbers include “Get Ready, Eddie,” “I Must Be in Love” and “Thank God.” Calderon chose PFHS as the production’s location because of the intimate setting and for the fact the musical’s setting is a school. “I want the audience to feel like they’re back in school,” said Calderon, who performed in the production in college. “I went to Catholic school, but you don’t have to have gone to appreciate the show.” Tickets are available at the door and are $10 for the general public and $5 for students. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

The Sevierville Department of Public Works will be repairing several drain pipes and placing a new drain pipe that will cause the temporary closure of Park Road to through-traffic beginning Monday. The starting date is dependent upon favorable weather conditions. Park Road from City Park to the Parkway will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. The work is scheduled to be completed on Friday. During the first phase of the project, motorists wishing to access Vulcan Materials may do so from the Parkway; to access A-1 Block and Brick and City Park, motorists must travel from the north end of Park Road via the Parkway/Eastgate Road area. During the second phase of the project (anticipated to begin Tuesday or Wednesday), Park Road will be closed at the Parkway; motorists wishing to access Vulcan Materials, A-1 Block and Brick, and City Park must travel from the north end of Park Road. The road will reopen with a temporary gravel surface each evening; motorists should exercise caution until repaving is complete. Periodic lane closures for repaving will occur after the road is reopened. Motorists should expect delays during repaving.

WALDEN (AP) — An overnight search on a rain-drenched mountain ridge ended happily Friday when rescuers found a teenager who had walked away from his house to hike alone in the rugged area that adjoins his upscale neighborhood in southeastern Tennessee. Dozens of volunteers and rescuers, some with dogs, came out of the woods smiling about midday after John Andrew Webster, a 13-year-old Boy Scout, was found unhurt on a road about a mile from his house in Walden on the 2,000foot high, east brow of the Cumberlands. Webster did not speak to reporters, but Hamilton County Emergency Services spokeswoman

Amy Maxwell said the teenager told deputies he got lost, slipped into a rain-swollen creek and slept under a rock ledge after making his way to shore. She said creeks gushing from heavy rains were so noisy he could not hear rescuers who searched overnight. “He was crying and his parents were crying,� Maxwell said of the teen’s reunion with his family. They were shielded from the media. The teen’s father, Adam Webster, thanked rescuers and told reporters his son was “very fortunate he survived that.� Webster said his son told him that one lesson learned was to always take along a partner when hiking.

NASHVILLE (AP) — The state’s medical epidemiologist said Friday that there’s no need for people to panic despite an increased number of deaths and school closings in Tennessee due to the swine flu. Dr. Tim Jones said the first shipment of vaccine for the virus is expected in Tennessee by the middle of next month. So far, he said there have been seven confirmed state deaths as a result of the swine flu and several schools have been closed because of some confirmed cases and other flu-like illnesses. Jones said it’s important to be educated about the swine flu and to take it seriously. However, he said on a percentage basis, it’s no more severe than the regular seasonal flu, which kills about 36,000 people nationwide each year. In Tennessee, Jones said that number is about 700. “There have been deaths ... and those are tragic, we all hate to hear about them,� Jones said of the swine flu fatalities, adding that the number is not “unexpectedly high� compared to other states. “But there’s absolutely no reason to panic.�

Families press for bodies of 3 dead in 1946 crash SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Navy and families of three sailors killed in a 1946 plane crash in Antarctica are clashing over the families’ desires to have their remains returned home. Petty Officer 1st Class Fred Williams, Ensign Maxwell Lopez and Petty Officer 1st Class Wendell Hendersin died when their PBM-5 Mariner flying boat went down in a storm on Thurston Island on Dec. 30, 1946. They were part of the crew of the flight designated “George One� that took off from the seaplane tender USS Pine Island on a polar training mission. The Navy has said the six survivors wrapped the sailors’ remains in parachutes and buried them under a piece of the aircraft’s wing tip used to mark the site. That is not good enough for Kate Williams Beebe of San Antonio, who said she has tried for six years to talk the Navy into bringing the three home. Beebe said Williams, her uncle, should be buried in a family plot in Clarksburg, Tenn., a town of about 300 residents. The local high school has a display dedicated to him. “There’s a plot between grandma and granddaddy that’s been saved for him for a number of years,� the 72-year-old told the San Antonio Express-News for a story in Friday’s editions. “They’re still waiting for

way,� Baker said. In 1982, when Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge took over management of the airport, it had one hangar and was home to 15 aircraft. Today, they have 45 hangars and more than 100 aircraft, he said. The airport is used by businesses that have operations or headquarter in the area and also by tourists, Baker explained. “It’s got multiple uses for a lot of people,� he said.

House defunds ACORN

AP Photo/Michael Conroy

A bill board that encourages people not to text while they drive is shown in the northside of Indianapolis, Thursday. Indiana drivers under age 18 are banned from using a cell phone while driving.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Thursday to deny all federal funds for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the scandal-tainted community organizing group that comes just three days after the Senate took similar action. “ACORN has violated serious federal laws, and today the House voted to ensure that taxpayer dollars would no longer be used to fund this corrupt organization,” said second-ranking House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia. The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75, with Democrats supplying all the “no” votes. On Monday the Senate voted 83-7 to deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Republicans accelerated their attacks on the liberal-leaning group a year ago when ACORN, in conducting a massive

voter registration drive, was accused of submitting some false registration forms. On a hidden-camera video released on Monday, two ACORN employees are seen apparently advising a couple that was posing as a prostitute and her pimp to lie about her profession and launder her earnings. The video was the latest in a series that has led to the firing of five ACORN employees in Baltimore, Washington and San Diego. It was created by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles and posted on BigGovernment. com, where O’Keefe identifies himself as an activist filmmaker. ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson blasted the video shot at the organization’s Brooklyn office, saying the group believes the voices of the couple were dubbed over to alter the conversation and make the interaction appear more objectionable than it may have been.

States send mixed message AP sources: Intel report on texting and driving drove new missile plan By ANDREW DeMILLO Associated Press Writer

Fiddling with your iPhone behind the wheel can get you fined across much of the nation. But many states are more than happy to tweet you with up-to-the-minute directions on how to steer clear of a traffic jam. It is a mixed signal that some safety experts and politicians say could be dangerous. At least 22 states that ban texting while driving offer some type of service that allows motorists to get information about traffic tie-ups, road conditions or emergencies via Twitter. “You shouldn’t be fiddling around with any kind of electronic gadget in your car while driving,” said Minnesota state Rep. Frank Hornstein, who helped write his state’s no-texting-while-driving law. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have banned all texting while driving, and eight others prohibit texting by younger drivers only, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Many of these laws essentially bar people from fooling with their smart phones in any way behind the wheel; in some cases, just reading from a mobile device is against the law. Some supporters of textmessaging bans say that states that provide traffic information via Twitter are undermining these laws. “I would guess that the states wouldn’t intend to be sending a mixed message, but it sounds like it could be a mixed message,” said Judie Stone, president of the Washington-based Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. State transportation officials say they are not encouraging people to get online behind the wheel. They say drivers should read their tweets before hitting the road. In Washington state, for

example, where citizens and transportation officials can exchange messages about the latest traffic, the feed includes regular reminders not to use the service while driving. “Know before you go,” said one feed this week. Drivers should “check our Web site before leaving. If you’re at your office, before you leave and there’s an issue on the roadway, it might alter your travel plans home,” said Randy Ort, spokesman for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. The Arkansas ban on texting while driving goes into effect Oct. 1; this week, the state became the latest to provide road conditions via Twitter, the microblogging service that

lets people read and send messages of 140 characters or fewer. Other places offering traffic information via Twitter include: California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. The apparent conflict results from two arms of government with seemingly good intentions: transportation departments that want to help motorists cope with traffic, and legislatures that are worried about the deadly consequences of distracted driving.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday that the new missile defense system planned for Europe has the flexibility to adapt to changes in Iranian missile capabilities even if U.S. intelligence about Tehran’s slower-thanexpected pace turns out to be wrong. President Barack Obama’s decision to scrap a Bush-era missile intercept system in Europe was based largely on a new U.S. intelligence assessment that Iran’s effort to build a nuclear-capable longrange missile would take three years to five years longer than originally thought, officials said earlier. Gates, a former CIA director, said that even if Iran moves more quickly on its long-range missile program, the revised program will have the flexibility to deal more quickly and effectively with the change. “We actually are better able to deal with a changed situation — in which the intelligence assessments are wrong — with the new architecture than we were

with the old one,” Gates told reporters. The new assessment asserts Iran is unlikely to have a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile until 2015 to

2020, a U.S. government official familiar with the report told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the report remains classified.

Facility achieves 1-megawatt power By DUNCAN MANSFIELD Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — The world’s most powerful neutron research facility has gotten even stronger, achieving a proton beam strength of one megawatt — three times its previous world record. Officials at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory on Friday announced their new milestone, a goal the lab’s $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source facility has been working toward since it fired up in 2006. Lab officials compare the accelerator-based facility to a giant micro-

scope that uses neutrons rather than light to study materials and human cells at the molecular level in search of new medicines, better batteries, more efficient power lines and lighter-stronger aircraft wings. “We now have a neutron microscope that is much brighter than any other similar facility,” said Stuart Henderson, director of the research accelerator division at the Oak Ridge lab. “It is sort of like the difference between having a laser light irradiating something versus a flashlight.” The SNS, which has been slowly powering up since coming on line, surpassed the world’s No. 2 neutron research facility last year

Celebrities in the news n Bob Barker

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has thrown out a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former “The Price is Right” employee Barker against C B S and former host Bob Barker. Attorneys say a judge in Los Angeles dismissed the case Friday morning, finding there were no issues that could be tried. Deborah Curling sued Barker and the network in October 2007, alleging she was improperly fired from the show and forced to endure a hostile work environment. Curling claimed she was dismissed because she testified in a former co-worker’s wrongful termination case. She also accused Barker of making racist and antiSemitic jokes, but the judge said she hadn’t proven that claim. Curling’s attorney says he plans to appeal. Barker’s attorney, Patty Glaser, says the lawsuit was meritless.

Obama needs new strategy right now The announcement this week by the feds that the recession could be ending should have been great news for the Obama administration. After all, it is the president’s economy now, and if it turns upward, he will be celebrated, right? Uh, maybe not. It may seem insane, but the ACORN scandal could now be diminishing any good economic news. The community activist outfit has been embarrassed by two amateur journalists who used hidden cameras to expose ACORN employees discussing how to set up houses of prostitution, including one utilizing underage girls. Soon after the expose, the Senate voted 83 to 7 to deny ACORN further federal grants. And even though the committed left media pretty much ignored the story, millions of Americans are engaged. Just like they are engaged on the health care controversy. A recent Rasmussen poll shows most Americans now oppose ObamaCare even after the president’s emotional plea last week. So what exactly is going on here? I think President Obama is experiencing some buyer’s remorse. The furious opposition to his policies has made for great television, and those images are now overriding what policy success he may be having. During the campaign, Obama appeared cool and in control to the public. But now he seems bewildered at times, taken aback by the strident and persistent attacks on his vision for the country. Those attacks are not going to stop. Conservative Americans deeply distrust the president on philosophy, not just policy. So the White House must come up with a strategy to blunt the emotional anti-Obama displays or risk being marginalized in year one. The Obama people must convince those who supported the president despite reservations that they did not vote for the wrong guy. From my perch in the media, it seems the president thought the leftwing press would protect him against right-wing media scrutiny. After all, liberal media outlets heavily outnumber their conservative counterparts. But that is not happening. MSNBC and CNN are not competitive with Fox News, and newspapers like The New York Times and The Boston Globe are in serious economic trouble as readers have turned away by the thousands. In public relations land, the biggest mistake the president is making is avoiding moderate conservatives who would give him a fair shake. This Sunday, Obama is appearing on all the Sunday chat shows to talk up health care. All except “Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.” Bad decision. Wallace is no ideologue, and Fox News is dominating the national conversation right now. By avoiding Fox, the president looks weak. He is preaching to the choir on the network news shows. But the choir is obviously losing members. All the polls show that. So if I’m Barack Obama, I take the economy and the aggressive stuff I’m doing against al-Qaida and the Taliban, and I bring it over to the loyal opposition. That would get some attention. And it might also bury the ACORN scandal in the process. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press. His column appears each Sunday.

Appalachian Relief Fund UW’s Taste of Autumn does good work for kids appetizing charity event

In service to those who need help the most is a fitting philosophy of life for Anne Kratochvil and Mary Patterson. The two are dedicated to helping the poor children of Scott County, where unemployment is among the highest in the nation and poverty is rampant. An Oct. 3 yard sale at Patterson’s Sevierville home will benefit the Appalachian Relief Fund, which raises money for Christmas gifts and other items for the families of Scott County. Patterson collects things like food, clothing and gifts and uses money from fundraisers and donations to buy what she isn’t given. Then she and others make Thanksgiving and Christmas trips to the north Tennessee county to distribute the items and make children and their parents a little bit happier. Plan to attend the Oct. 3 event at 312 Kelly Hills Road in Sevierville. It’s a good cause put on by good people.

Players win honors, may foretell big things

Looking for a charitable event to sink your teeth into? Make plans to attend Taste of Autumn on Thursday at Gatlinburg Convention Center. Tickets for $25 mean unlimited sampling from vendors, plus entertainment. All proceeds go to United Way of Sevier County. A live auction will also be held. Participating vendors include Blaine’s Grill and Restaurant, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Bug’s Wisconsin Cheese Co., Calhoun’s, Charles Richard Resources, Cherokee Grill, Coca-Cola, Corky’s Ribs and BBQ, Downtown Grill and Chili Company, Fox & Parrot Tavern, Hilton Garden Inn, Lineberger’s Seafood, New Orleans On the River, Nifty Fifties Cafe, No Way Jose’s, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, Shabby’s Coffee and Tea House Cafe, Smoky Mountain Brewery and Smoky Mountain Winery. Tickets are available at Gatlinburg welcome centers on the Spur, Ripley’s Aquarium, online at www.uwosc.org or by calling 436-0500.

As the Southern League playoffs draw to a close, let’s point out three awards won by Smokies players that may seen them soon headed for the major leagues. Casey Coleman, a 22-year-old pitcher, was named the Chicago Cubs’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year. He compiled a 14-6 regular-season record with a 3.68 earned run average in 27 starts and 149 innings pitched. Outfielder Tyler Colvin was named by Topps its August Player of the Month. He tied an SL record with 11 straight hits over three consecutive games. He also hit .379 with six homers and 22 RBI in August. Colvin finished with a .300 average. Blake Lalli was named to the regularseason and postseason SL all-star teams. The slick-fielding first baseman also finished the year with a .314 batting average. All three or none may ultimately reach The Show. But it will be interesting to follow them.

Problems with water account should have been solved easier

Editor: I have two accounts with a local water department. I have paid my bills on time, every month. I do receive two different bills for the two addresses. Yesterday, my husband and I went to the office to pay on both bills, despite of not receiving a bill for the second address. The clerk informed me that someone had called in March and cancelled my account on one of my addresses. This was not true, because the water has not been shut off nor have they stopped billing

Public forum me. Long story short, the water department demanded a $50 deposit to reconnect. I insisted that a mistake had been made. After standing in their office and having to listen to who was going to eat what for lunch, my problem was finally addressed. An error had been made on their part, and if I had not insisted that they look into it, I would have had to pay this $50 plus any water that had been used since March. First and foremost. The practice of an individual calling in to cancel an account is disturbing to me. This means that anyone that is mad at you or devious can call and have your service interrupted, and you are left with the reconnect charges. All other utility boards demand that

you come in person to cancel your account or that you write a request. Second, when you are wrong or have made a mistake, admit it. Their story that the account had been closed was their “pass the buck” solution to a mistake that they had made. Their reason was not valid and their lie grew bigger when I was told that the money I paid for on one account went to the other account. That would mean that I had overpaid on one account, right? Not according to them. Consumers, beware. Check your bills often. If something doesn’t sound right, then it probably is not right. Stand up for yourself always. Lisa Acuff Sevierville

Seymour falls 7-3 to Jeff County

Fulton is unkind guest for PF Tigers

By JASON ELLIS Sports Correspondent

By RICH HAILEY Sports Correspondent

DANDRIDGE — With severe weather looming all around East Tennessee Friday night a low scoring affair was expected. What was not expected were two goal line turnovers ending what could have been game winning drives for Seymour in the Eagles’ 7-3 loss to Jefferson County. Seymour (2-3) made all the right adjustments at the half, but Jeff County (1-4) made the plays that won the game. Both teams struggled to move the ball with their option offenses in the first half, playing to a 0-0 tie. The Eagles only gained 38 total yards while the Patriots managed 130. Seymour had a chance to take some momentum midway through the first quarter when Blake Overton picked off a pass, but a defensive holding call reversed the great play giving the ball back to the Pats. The Pats then went on a 13-play drive moving the ball well, but the stingy Eagle defense held up forcing a 35-yard field goal attempt that was no good. The Eagle defense rose up again with only 30 seconds left until the half on first-and-goal on the 5-yard line, stripping the Patriot fullback to force a fumble, which Overton recovered. By the second half Seymour seemed to have figured out the Patriot defense. Seymour QB Dustin Fain just missed a wideout in the corner of the endzone on the Eagles’ first drive, but the team took the lead anyway with a 27-yard Steven Martin field goal with 4:21 to go in the third. The Patriots answered the score in the fourth with a 65-yard TD pass, breaking loose on a slant to take a 7-3 lead of their

Brandon Merritt’s PAT kick was good, barely, and knotted it again at 14-14. G-P’s offense lined up to go first in the second overtime, but the Blue and Gold were stopped on 4th-and-5 from the 5 with an incomplete pass after three rushes netted just five yards. Gibbs took the ball at the 10 with the chance to win the game. On 3rd-and-4 from the 4, Gibbs sent Hunley on to win the game with a 21-yard field goal attempt. The kick missed just wide left, by inches, breathing new life into the Highlander squad. Gibbs took first possession in the third overtime, but on third down G-P junior Ryan Taylor

PIGEON FORGE — “They don’t just bring a football team to a game; they bring some history with them.” Coach Lee Hammonds was referring to the Fulton Falcons, who handed the Pigeon Forge Tigers their third loss of the season, 48-7. The 3-2 Fulton Falcons only held the ball for 6 minutes in the first half but that was enough. In that time, they scored 42 points, caused and recovered two fumbles, gained over 250 yards and reminded the 1-3 Tigers just how far they have to go before they can be competitive in the very tough District 3-AA. The road gets even longer, as Coach Hammonds’ young men still have to face Austin East, Carter, and cross-county rivals Gatlinburg-Pittman. The game started out badly, as Pigeon Forge fumbled the ball on their opening possession, and Fulton capitalized immediately, taking advantage of excellent field position and powerful blocking to take the ball 30 yards in two plays. The Tiger’s second possession went a little better, sparked by some powerful running by fullback Michael Lombrana, as the Tigers were able to get the ball into Falcon territory. But Fulton’s defense proved to be too strong, and Pigeon Forge was forced to punt the ball away. Chase Travis nailed a beautiful punt that resulted in a touchback, giving the Tiger defense a good shot at stopping the Falcons. A good shot, but not good enough. Lead by Fulton’s shifty Demetrius Thomas, the

Highlander High! Triple-OT win By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer CORRYTON — The GatlinburgPittman Highlanders got their first taste of District 3-AA action this season on Friday night, taking a 20-14 triple-overtime road win over the Gibbs Eagles in a game that almost didn’t happen, and then seemed as if it would never end. Opening kickoff was delayed by nearly two hours due to a lightning storm in the Corryton area and was just moments away from being canceled and rescheduled for Monday night. However, a break in the storm allowed the teams to take the field for an eventual 9:21 p.m. start.

But what’s a couple of hours for two teams that haven’t met on the gridiron since a G-P overtime win more than a decade ago in 1996? And neither team appeared to be in any hurry for the game to end, taking a triple-possession overtime to decide the affair. Gibbs got first crack at offense in free football and took it in from 10-yards out on three plays, capped by junior RB Andy Hibbett’s two-yard plunge up the gut. Freshman PK Ryan Hunley’s PAT kick was true, giving the Eagles their first and only lead of the night, 14-7. G-P answered on the ensuing down when junior RB Dillon Reagan took it through the 5-hole for a 10-yard TD. Sophomore

Smoky Bears dismantle Fighting Cocks 47-6, stay unbeaten Backups get big minutes as SCHS cruises By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Defensive back Jeremiah Foster (14), here returning a first half interception, was the defensive star for the Smoky Bears Friday night. In addition to the pick, Foster showed off his speed with a 105-yard plus fumble return for a touchdown against the Fighting Cocks in Newport, Tenn.

NEWPORT — Zach Flynn usually beats teams with his arm. Friday night, the senior quarterback helped the Sevier County Smoky Bears beat the Cocke County Fighting Cocks with his legs. Senior defensive back Jeremiah Foster also had some huge plays for the Smoky Bears (5-0) in the 47-6 blowout. Flynn rushed for nearly 100 yards and two TDs, while Foster returned an interception nearly 50 yards to set up a touchdown and returned a fumble 105 yards for another score. With the win the Smoky Bears equalled their 2008 win total, and are now 2-0 in IMAC Conference play. Things started sloppy for both teams as flags were flying left and right, effecting both team’s early progress. Sevier County got on the board first, however, scoring See BEARS, Page A11

came up with a huge interception to give the Highlanders a chance to win it. Reagan took a pitch left on first down and rumbled to the Gibbs 2, junior QB Tye Marshall took a sneak up the gut on second down for no gain, and then Marshall connected with Taylor in the end zone on a misdirection bootleg right for the G-P win. Taylor came up huge for G-P in the win with five catches for 54 yards, two interceptions playing defense along with the game-winning reception. Marshall had another quality night, completing 14-of-20 for 122 yards, the game-winning TD toss and no interceptions. Reagan carried the load with 88 yards on 26 punishing carries.

SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School freshman Smoky Bears (5-0) had a great performance Thursday night against the Cocke County freshman, roasting the Fighting Cocks 30-0. Hayden Brooks and Logan McCarter got things started in the first quarter with a 37-yard TD connection to make the score 6-0. Later in the quarter Dexter Robbins got loose on a 45-yard TD run, and a Jeffrey Henry PAT kick made the score 13-0. By halftime the Bears found themselves up 16-0, thanks to a 32-yard field goal from Henry. The young Smoky Bears didn’t take their collective foot off the accelerator in the third quarter, as halfback Dylan Cate struck Cocke County with a 30-yard pass out of the backfield to Devin Schmidt for another touchdown. Again, Henry’s kick was good. The Bears’ final score of the night cam e on a 1-yard TD run from Jabriel Pruitt in the fourth quarter, followed by another Henry kick. Defensively, linebackers Dexter Robbins and Colby Bailey were standouts in the game, as were linemen Ray Smith and Ralph Watson. The team’s next game is two Mondays from now against a powerful Alcoa team.

Lady Hurricanes storm past Bearettes

SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Bearettes volleyball team played it close, but lost to IMAC rival Morristown East Thursday night, three games to one. The Lady Hurricanes took the first game in a squeaker 25-21, but Sevier County (9-8, 5-2 in the IMAC) rallied back to take the second game 25-22. While the Bearettes stayed competitive with Morristown East the rest of the way, the Hurricanes were able to take each of the last two games by 25-20 scores. Caroline Miller was the high point for Sevier County with five points, 2 blocks, 13 kills and 12 digs. Morristown East’s Emily Hensley (13 kills) and Hannah Blanken (22 digs) were the stars for the Lady Hurricanes.

Falcons moved 80 yards in 6 plays to put Fulton up 14-0. Things quickly went from bad to worse as on the next kickoff, Tiger deep man Rodney Porter fumbled the ball. He recovered his fumble, but was tackled on the 3-yard line. Coach Hammonds elected to play it safe, and after three rushes netted five yards, the Tigers punted. Unfortunately, they punted to Steven Allen who returned the punt 48 yards for another Fulton touchdown. The Tigers’ frustration began to build, and as Fulton continued to score with every possession, it became too much for Porter, who got involved in an altercation with a Fulton player after a kick off return. Porter ripped off his helmet and threw it to the field, drawing a double unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the

Bearettes best Cocke County

SEVIERVILLE — Coach Bobby Norwood’s Lady Bearettes soccer team improved to 2-0-1 in the IMAC conference Thursday night with a 6-0 thumping of Cocke County. Senior Jessica Mayo was a one-person highlight reel for the Purple, scoring three of the team’s six goals on the night. Her first score of the game, which was assisted by teammate Adrienne Aumell put the team up 1-0 early. Birthday girl Shana Garner added the team’s second score on an assist by Mikayla May. Mayo’s second goal of the night put the team up 3-0, and Alexis Conner assisted Hayley Fox to put the Bearettes on top 4-0 at half. Tiffany Hodge scored to begin the second half for Sevier County, and Fox was credited with the assist. Mayo completed her hat trick minutes later as Aumell found her for her third goal of the game. The Bearettes are now 2-4-2 overall and 2-0-1 in district. Their next game is at Morristown East on Tuesday.

seconds remaining in the first quarter. Sophomore Brandon Merritt’s PAT kick was true, making it the eventual intermission score. The Gibbs offense had its best success in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, sending the already late-running game into overtime by driving for a gametying score with just 57.2 seconds remaining when Gibbs junior QB Zack Batts connected with senior WR Cody Armstrong for a 15-yard score. Hunley connected on the PAT kick to knot it at 7-7. Friday’s game was the 11th meeting between the new and former district rivals, dating back to 1952. G-P now leads the series 7-4 all-time. It was the third consecutive contest between the squads to be determined in overtime, dating back to 1993. G-P has won two

straight. The Highlander defense held the Gibbs offense, which entered the contest as the eighth-ranked scoring team in the state of Tennessee - to just 72 total yards and 0 points through three quarters, forcing six turnovers against an Eagle squad that had been averaging more than 41 points in its first four contests this season. Gibbs answered in the fourth quarter, outgaining G-P 113 to 15 yards in the period. G-P finished regulation with 256 total yards of offense compared to Gibbs’ 185. G-P next travels to Unicoi County on Friday night for its final non-district action of the season. The Highlanders will play five district opponents to finish the year, including a three-game stretch against Fulton, AustinEast and Carter.

Tigers, and an ejection for himself. “Rodney’s a better kid than that,” the coach said. “He’s a competitor, but he’s got to understand that he has to keep his head and show character.” On a dreary night for the Tigers, there was one bright spot. Sophomore fullback Michael Lombrana had his best game yet as a Tiger, rushing for 117 yards on 24 carries and the Tigers’ only points of the game. “Show no fear,” the Tiger running back said. “I come to practice each day and work harder to get better everyday.” Coach Hammonds said that running some quick plays up the middle was the game plan, since they knew Fulton would be keying on Sophomore Chase Travis. “Michael doesn’t back down from a fight,” said Coach Hammonds. “He’s been like that ever since I’ve known him.” This is the second blowout loss the Tigers have faced this season,

but Coach Hammonds remains optimistic about his team’s character, and their ability to bounce back. “I don’t think we’ll have any trouble keeping these kids together. We’ve got Grainger County next week and we’ve played them the last several years and I think our kids know that we can compete with them. We’ve just got to

get back to work Monday and do what we got to do to get ourselves better.” Things only get tougher for the Tigers. After an out of conference game next week against Grainger County, the Tigers come home to face Carter in another game that is sure to test the character of the young Tigers.

Despite the long delay before kickoff, neither of the teams fell asleep and battled to a hard-hitting 7-0 G-P lead by intermission. Although the Highlanders (5-0, 1-0) outgained Gibbs (3-2, 1-1) 190 to 20 yards in the first half, and the Blueand-Gold team had penetrated the Eagle 10 three times in that span, G-P managed just one score against a determined home squad. Marshall was effective and efficient in the first half, completing 9-of-11 passes for 103 yards. Reagan managed 49 hard-earned first-half yards on 17 brutal carries, taking much punishment but popping up for more after each crushing hit. Marshall capped the lone first-half scoring drive - a 10-play, 69-yard march - with a QB plunge up the gut from about 12 inches out with 11.4

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

All eyes on Kiffin, Tebow for Tennessee-Florida By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer spends countless hours coming up with ways to keep his team motivated. Guest speakers, videos, signs, speeches, rewards, punishments, Meyer tries it all. His job will be a bit easier this week thanks to Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin’s false recruiting allegations and his pledge to sing “Rocky Top” all night long after beating Florida have given the topranked Gators (2-0) a little extra juice heading into Saturday’s Southeastern Conference opener against the Volunteers (1-1). Even though the defending national champions insisted they didn’t need any help getting up for a rivalry game that usually decides the Eastern Division, they gladly took Kiffin’s comments and threw them atop the bulletin board. “That’s something you don’t forget,” guard James Wilson said. “That’s good motivation for us. It’s going to be wild. It’s going to be a show.” If so, Tim Tebow probably will play a starring role. Tebow has been at the center of Florida’s last three

wins against Tennessee. As a freshman in 2006, Meyer called on his backup quarterback to carry the ball on a fourth-and-1 play in the fourth quarter. Tebow picked up the first down, pumped his first through the air and then headed back to the bench. The Gators scored the game-winning touchdown two plays later. “I remember that like it was yesterday,” Meyer said. “I saw this young stallion sitting on the sidelines and it was like here we go. He’s played really well in this rivalry.” Tebow was at his best two years ago in Gainesville. He threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 61 yards and two scores in a

game that thrust him into the Heisman Trophy race. The Volunteers did a much better job containing Tebow last year in Knoxville. Playing with an injured right shoulder, Tebow threw for 96 yards and two TDs, and ran for 26 yards. Florida finished with 243 yards, the program’s fewest since Meyer’s first season in 2005. Can Tennessee do it again? The Gators lead the nation in total offense, averaging 643.5 yards a game, and top the country with 118 points. The Vols might need another strong defensive effort, especially if quarterback Jonathan Crompton and the offense plays like it did last week against UCLA. Crompton threw three interceptions, was sacked twice and Tennessee managed just 208 yards. Given those struggles, Meyer knows what to expect Saturday. “It’s not a secret what they are going to do,” he said. “They have two really good backs and they are going

to try to pound us. I don’t believe they are going to come in and try to wing it all over the place and win that game. If it starts to be a downhill game, we have a problem. We can’t allow that.” The Gators have outrushed the Vols 591-188 in the four-game winning streak, including 255-37 two years ago at The Swamp. Tebow was a big factor in that one, and Tennessee linebacker Rico McCoy knows why. “You’ve got everybody telling you, ’Knock him out. Knock Tebow out. C’mon and knock him out,”’ McCoy said. “I’m like, ’Yeah, we’re going to try to knock him out, but it’s like hitting a fullback.’ He’s 245, 250 pounds. He’s a load. I’m not going to lie to you, he’s a big boy. He’s tough.” Tebow has been even tougher when he’s had reason to be fired up. Remember Florida State in 2007? How about LSU, Georgia and Oklahoma last year? Will Kiffin’s comments resonate as loudly? Florida

did plaster his “Rocky Top” quote all around the training facility during the offseason. “I really don’t look at it as him putting a bull’s-eye on us,” Tennessee safety Eric Berry said. “It probably doesn’t make sense to a lot of people, but in my eyes it looks like he just wanted to tell us that he had our back and whoever we played or whatever we had to face, he was going to ride with us until the end.” Kiffin and Meyer have downplayed everything that was said more than seven months ago, preferring to talk about the game and keep the focus off the coaches. Kiffin believes he shouldn’t even be a factor. “I don’t know how it could

be more intense,” Kiffin said. “You’ve got a big-time rivalry. Florida has dominated, obviously, lately with four in a row. ... There’s been motivation over there, and I don’t think I motivated them.” Yeah, right. Meyer has a history of using everything he can to spark his team, and Kiffin’s quotes surely will be part of Saturday’s pregame speech. “I don’t know what he was thinking when he said all that,” Wilson said. “It kind of hit a nerve. We’ve just been counting down since workouts. We have a sign in the weight room that says how many days until Tennessee. ... We don’t like to listen to that stuff, but it just adds to the rivalry.”

less than a minute into the game with a 23-yard Flynn run, capping off a four-play, 65-yard drive that included a 27-yard Bryant Gilson reception. Following a Cocke County possession that went nowhere, the Smoky Bears were knocking on the door again before a Danny Chastain fumble gave the Fighting Cocks the ball back inside their own 10. Two defensive penalties helped Cocke County get out to midfield, where the Smoky Bear defense would force them into a 3rd-and22, only to give up a huge Casey Ragan Hail Mary touchdown throw to pull the Cocks within one point. Cocke County’s extra point was no good, so the Bears kept their lead at 7-6. Sevier County answered quickly, taking the ball 62 yards on four plays, scoring on a 33-yard TD run from Kel McCarter. Another extra point sailed wide, leaving SCHS with a 13-6 lead, which is where the quarter ended. The Smoky Bears added

another touchdown early in the second quarter, again using just four plays to go 54 yards for the score. This time Flynn scored on a 20-yard jaunt, after nice runs by the QB and running back Dakota Cogdill got the Bears to the Fighting Cocks’ 20. Cocke County couldn’t move the ball on their next possession and were faced with another 3rd-and-long, when Ragan threw another bomb. This time the QB’s luck ran out, as SCHS defensive back Jeremiah Foster was their for a timely interception, which he promptly returned about 50 yards to the Cocks’ 12-yard line. The Bears again used their running game to advance the ball for the score, and this time it was Cogdill doing the honors, plunging in from one yard out to put his team up 26-6. After the teams flipflopped possessions, Sevier County got another big defensive play, recovering a Cocke County fumble deep in Fighting Cocks territory. Five offensive plays later, Cogdill found the endzone again, capping off the scoring

for the half. Jared Baxter’s PAT mad the halftime tally 33-6. In the second half, the Smoky Bears toned things down offensively, instead allowing many backups and JV players a chance in an IMAC conference game. There were still highlights, though. Perhaps the biggest play of the second half came on defense, when Foster recovered a fumble in the Bears’ endzone and returned it 105-plus-yards for his team’s sixth TD of the game. The Bears’ last score came on a 20-yard Chastain pass to Gilson in the third quarter, which put the Bears up 47-6. From there the clock ran continuously, dramatically quickening the pace of

the remainder of the contest. The Bears’ JV stars did get a legitimate shot at scoring in the fourth quarter, however, as running backs Bubba Floyd and Trey Cupp reeled off four straight runs for first downs, getting their team inside the Cocks’ 5-yard line, before Floyd was injured and the offense bogged down. The Bears have a bye week this coming Friday, but will face the Seymour Eagles at Burchfield Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 1. The game, which is usually a big rivalry contest, is even bigger this year as the teams battle for the first time ever in the same district with playoff implications on the line. mpsports@themountainpress.com

own. Seymour then marched down the field on a 12-play 60-yard drive only to have a Fain pass picked off in the endzone, stopping what could have been the game-winning drive. The defense again held the Patriots to a 3-andout almost blocking a punt on fourth down, and taking over with 3:12 left. Fain first hit a 20-yard pass to Overton for a first down. On the next play Fain hit a bomb down the sideline for what looked to be a sure Eagle TD, but

the Jeff County defender caught up with the Eagle receiver and stripped the ball as he was going to score. The Pat defender returned the fumble to midfield ending the Eagles’ night on a sour note. Up next for the Eagles will be the Sevier County Smoky Bears on Oct. 1 at Burchfield Stadium in Sevierville. mpsports@themountainpress.com

42 states lose jobs in August, up from 29 in July from its current 9.7 percent. “You are seeing the pace of job losses slow a little bit,� said Mike Lynch, a regional economist at IHS Global Insight. But states “are not out of the woods yet.� The United States lost 216,000 jobs in August, the department said earlier this month, down from 276,000 in July. Employers have eliminated 6.9 mil-

lion jobs since the recession began in December 2007. Texas lost 62,200 jobs as its unemployment rate rose to 8 percent in August for the first time in 22 years. The state’s leisure, construction and manufacturing industries were hardest hit, losing 35,500 jobs. Michigan saw 42,900 jobs disappear, including 25,000 in manufacturing, as the state continued to

Dear Annie: My nephew was involved in a robbery when he was only 19 and paid for it with 10 years of his life. While he was incarcerated, he got his GED and took various classes to prepare himself for a possible job opportunity upon his release. He was discharged two years ago and has been a model citizen since. He’s tried everything to find work, but no one will hire him. He has taken placement tests for apprentice jobs (and scored very well). It’s always the same — every company requires a background check, and once they see his record, he is not even given a chance. I know times are hard, but he is willing to do any minimum wage job just to feed himself. He has gone to local places like Urban League, United Way and temp services, and still no luck. He finally got an interview to join an electrical union, and they turned him down because he had no job experience. But how can he get it? My nephew lives in his car. What are people in his circumstances supposed to do to earn a legitimate living? It’s no wonder the recidivism rate is so high. Can you suggest anything? — Concerned Aunt Dear Aunt: Many states have programs to help ex-offenders reenter the job market, and your nephew might have better luck checking city hall or the governor’s office about local programs. He also can contact the Safer Foundation (saferfoundation.org) at 571 W. Jackson, Chicago, IL 60661; the National

Hire Network (hirenetwork.org); the U.S. Dept. of Labor (www. doleta.gov/usworkforce/ onestop/onestopmap. cfm) at 1-877-US2JOBS (1-877-872-5627) or servicelocator.org. Goodwill Industries has been known to help with job training and placement, and the military also accepts some enlistees who have a criminal record. We wish him luck. Dear Annie: My 88-year-old mother is dying. For years, she spent $5,000 annually on long-term health care insurance. We contacted her insurance agency and wanted a nurse to come to the house at night so my sister, who lives with Mom, would not be alone. We were told Mom would have to pay out of pocket for the first 30 days. My mother does not have 30 days left to live. She has over $140,000 worth of insurance paid up, and when she tried to use it, this is what happened. I think this is a disgrace, and we are looking into hiring a lawyer. Please tell your readers to check the fine print on those policies. How many other people are being fooled? I hope this letter will help somebody else. — Angry in Vermont Dear Vermont: You can be certain it will. When signing any docu-

ment, it is wise to read it with a magnifying glass and, if possible, have an attorney look it over. We appreciate your warning and hope you can get this settled to your satisfaction. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Shorty’s Mom,” the mother of an 18-year-old who is 4 feet 11 inches and weighs 95 pounds. That was me 28 years ago. Throughout high school, I was always the shortest and was definitely a “late bloomer,” as were my father and my two sons. Now, at 44, I still get carded and am met with astonishment when I tell people that I have two adult sons. Being a late bloomer is tough, but as you said in your reply, the benefits are reaped when everyone else is showing signs of normal aging while we don’t. “Shorty’s Mom” should let her daughter know that right now looking like a child may be insulting, but she will definitely enjoy it when she is older. — J.J.
