Most anyone who spent any time in Sevier County over the last few months likely could have guessed it, but now it’s official that 2010 brought the hottest summer ever recorded. A post on the Web site of the National Weather Service’s Morristown office declared the heat unsurpassed, saying the area’s mercury readings passed the previous record set in 1936 after August. The average temperature for the three months included in the federal agency’s observations — June through August — was nearly five degrees above normal based on information from the reporting center at the Knoxville airport. At 81 degrees, it was also almost a full degree hotter than the previous record average of 80.1. While 81 degrees may not sound too bad, weather service officials point out it really means something when you consider it’s an average of both the high and low temperatures. Perhaps more telling than the average are the actual readings on local thermometers throughout the summer. The center at Knoxville recorded 76 days so far this year, including Monday, of 90 degree or greater heat. That’s only two days away from the all-time
Dead leaves on the ground are becoming a common sight around the county after a long hot summer.

Workers preparing for second phase of Improving 66
Time for Winterfest?
SEVIERVILLE — The second phase of Improving 66 is officially under way, as workers from local contractor Charles Blalock & Sons have been out on the section of road between Interstate 40 and Douglas Dam Road to put up signs and begin preparations. Blalock won the $23 million contract last month; the company also won the contract for the first phase of work which started last year. Employees have been putting signs out since Sept. 6 as they get ready for the new phase of work. “We’re excited,” Blalock said. “It’s very positive for us.” The ongoing road works assures several Blalock employees they won’t be laid off during the lean economic times, he said. The funding for the first phase came from fed-

Home of Huntingdon indicates. Hardy was reportedly on a vacation to the area Labor Day week when he was struck by a pickup truck Sept. 8 while crossing the busy road near Conner Lane early that Wednesday evening. He was airlifted to the Knoxville hospital, where he was listed in critical condition on Sept. 9, though a Pigeon Forge police report at the time said he was expected to recover from the injuries.
According to Police Chief Jack Baldwin, that observation was made because the vehicle was not traveling at a high speed when its front driver’s side hit Hardy. “The witnesses all said (the driver) was going about 20 mph,” Baldwin said Monday about the driver. “The gentleman just stepped right in front of him and there was nothing he could do to See PEDESTRIAN, Page A4

His death was confirmed by G e o r g e H a w k i n s , MacPherson special events director for the city of Gatlinburg. MacPherson had battled cancer in recent months.

Homeschool students portray historical figures during event Submitted Report
Sevier County children performed at the Emerts Cove Cemetery as part of Pittman Center’s Heritage Day. The children portrayed 10 settlers who are buried in the cemetery by the Little Pigeon River. “This is an ideal opportunity for students to study local history and at the same time educate the public “ said event organizer Carroll McMahan. Each of the young performers, dressed in period costume, recounted the life of the settler he or she was supposed to be. Frederic Emert (17541829), patriarch of German ancestry, played by Eli Cruise, and his wife Barbara Ann Neidig (1755-1842), played by Jada Willson, were from Pennsylvania where they wed in 1772. In the American Revolution, Frederick was felled, but he recovered. Barbara Ann gave him 10 children. Stories were told by daughter Louisa Emert, played by Hannah Cruise; and daughters-in-law

Pet, animal blessings to be done by church Submitted Report SEYMOUR — St. Paul Episcopal Church will celebrate St. Francis Day Blessing of Pets and Animals at 4 p.m. Oct. 3 at 1028 Boyd’s Creek Highway. Persons may bring their properly caged or leashed pets to the church for the blessing.    The short service celebrating St. Francis Day and giving thanks for all creation will be followed by dog biscuits and cat treats as well as refreshments for the humans. On that Sunday the church will remember the love God has for all creation as shown in the life of St. Francis and in the love people have for their pets.  Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of animals, birds and the environment, is often pictured with birds and animals or represented by a statue placed in backyards or gardens. Celebrations of St. Francis Day including pet blessings have become popular in many denominations. In some larger cities, the pet blessings include elephants, zebras and other exotic animals. All animals are invited to join the pet blessing at St. Paul’s. The offering and any monetary donations will be given to the Tennessee Valley Humane Society (humanesocietytennessee.com) and the Southern Jewel Dog Rescue (www.southernjeweldogrescue.org.)

Paris pleads in Vegas arrest, avoids jail LAS VEGAS (AP) — Just a few years ago, Paris Hilton claimed her lawless days were behind her after she served 23 days in jail for violating probation. These days, however, it’s unclear exactly what the celebrity socialite learned from her time behind bars. Hilton, whose partying brought her worldwide notoriety, acknowledged in a court appearance Monday that she stashed cocaine in her purse and lied to police during her arrest last month at a Las Vegas resort.

The second phase runs about two miles, and will feature an additional lane in each direction, along with a new shoulder, curt, guttering and a sidewalk in each direction, Project Manager Jennifer Stone said. The completion date is Nov. 12, 2012. Plans call for minimal lane closures during the

avoid him.” Because of those reports, there were no charges filed against the Sevierville man who was driving the 2006 GMC Sierra that struck Hardy. Hardy’s death isn’t expected to change that, Baldwin said. “We do not expect there to be charges filed,” he said. The official report indicates there were “no contributing actions” on the driver’s part. The account also shows the motorist was driving south and the impact
Under the terms of a plea deal, the 29-year-old Hilton pleaded guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer, both misdemeanors. She must serve a year of probation, complete a drug program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service. If she violates her probation, she could get a year in jail. “Treat this very seriously,” Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure cautioned Hilton. “The Clark County Detention Center is not the
Waldorf-Astoria.” Hilton’s attorney David Chesnoff said she would attend an outpatient substance abuse treatment program. It was Hilton’s latest encounter with the law since 2006, when she was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence. She later pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving and was put on probation, which she later violated by driving with a suspended license. Hilton served 23 days in jail because of the violation.
and “advanced” levels of performance. This year’s performance report will include new levels of performance — “basic” and “below basic” — that are used to help identify how much students need to progress to be proficient. “Tennessee is at the top in test standards — we’re considered to be the second most rigorous in the nation,” said Debra Cline, Sevier County Schools director of curriculum and instruction. “Parents will be receiving their child’s individual reports along with a letter from the commissioner of education explaining the new standards. We wanted them to
have this information.” Cline said that the state’s comprehensive test scores were not ready to be released to the public yet. “Teachers, principals and central office personnel continue to review information about student progress in an effort to adjust the instructional program to meet the needs of each child. Changes in state standards and expectations have led to new performance targets that will challenge each child to reach the highest levels of expectations. Teachers continue to work diligently to create lessons that are rich in content,
rigor and relevance.” Bredesen said Monday at a Chattanooga press conference that the new scoring standards used for April’s TCAPs were more accurate than the scoring previously used, better preparing them for college and the workforce. He also said he expected scores to be higher by next year. Parents needing additional information about testing, reporting processes and individual student progress should contact the principal where his or her child attends school.
record came in 2007, when the average was 83.2 degrees. And the heat hasn’t just been limited to one little part of the region. There are three weather service reporting stations across East Tennessee, including the one in Knoxville. At each this was marked as the hottest summer on record, with Chattanooga 5.2 degrees above normal to 83 degrees, and the readings from the TriCities area in Northeast Tennessee 4.7 degrees warmer than the normal of 72.6 degrees. On top of the swelter-
ing conditions, the area has also been unusually dry this year. For the summer months, the Knoxville meters recorded only 9.8 inches of rain, a nearly 2-inch deficit. That makes it the 35th-driest summer on record. Overall the numbers are worse, though. For the year, the area has received 31.38 inches of precipitation, 4.64 inches below what’s normally recorded to this date. However, things may be starting to improve, if only slightly. So far in September, 2.87 inches of rain has fallen,
.91 inches higher than normal. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear likely either of these nasty trends is likely to subside in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service’s forecast for this week, local residents can expect highs at or above 90 degrees almost every day this week. Along with “hot,” the word “dry” appears in the outlook, with no more than a 30 percent chance of rain any day.
day. “When we have to close a lane, we’ll try to do it at night,” she said. There will be brief closures during the day, when they are extending utility lines or doing other work that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, she added. The first phase of the project runs from Boyds Creek Highway to Nichols Street, and is scheduled to wrap up by November of 2011. Work on the second phase will be similar to the second, as the widening efforts will start with the center lanes while the original lanes remain open and then traffic will be moved to the interior lanes while work is completed on the
outside lanes. They’ll also have to stabilize several sinkholes in the area as they move along, she said. TDOT officials gave a presentation Monday for local merchants whose properties will be impacted by the work. Some merchants in the first phase have complained that the work limits access to their businesses, but the people present Monday seemed willing to see how it works out in their area. “We are very excited for the improvements,” said Valerie Baker, who is a funding center leader with BB&T Bank and a member of the 407 Merchants
Association. Local businesses and city officials have been waiting on the widening project for years, she noted, as they hope it will alleviate the traffic backups that plague the main road through the county as tourists come to local attractions. The next phase of the project will involve widening of traffic lanes from Douglas Dam Road to Boyds Creek Highway, including the bridge over the French Broad River. That project is in TDOT’s three-year plans, and it should get funding for construction in 2012 or 2013, Borden said.
with the car sent Hardy into the air and propelled him back some distance. The report points out Hardy was not in a crosswalk and did not have the right of way in the incident. “A guy was walking slowly across the street. We were traveling beside the truck that hit him at approximately 15-20 miles per hour,” one witness statement included with the report states. “As the man was walking across, I wondered if he would get across in time. The man in the truck glanced over to his left and when he looked back the guy walking
was in front of him.” The pickup’s driver hit the brakes, leaving a short trail of burned rubber on the asphalt, but he was unable to stop in time. The document also notes Hardy died at 3:25 p.m. Friday. According to his obituary, Hardy was a native and lifelong resident of Carroll County, a member of Huntingdon Church
of Christ, and retired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber after 32 years. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Norma Hardy, two daughters and two grandchildren. Funeral services are scheduled for 1 p.m. today in the funeral home’s chapel and burial will follow in Carroll Memorial Gardens.

Report says obesity hurts your wallet and your health By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON — Obesity puts a drag on the wallet as well as health, especially for women. Doctors have long known that medical bills are higher for the obese, but that’s only a portion of the real-life costs. George Washington University researchers added in things like employee sick days, lost productivity, even the need for extra gasoline — and found the annual cost of being obese is $4,879 for a woman and $2,646 for a man. That’s far more than the cost of being merely overweight — $524 for women and $432 for men, concluded the report being released Tuesday, which analyzed previously published studies to come up with a total. Why the difference between the sexes? Studies suggest larger women earn less than skinnier women, while wages don’t differ when men pack on the pounds. That was a big surprise, said study co-author and health policy professor Christine Ferguson. Researchers had expected everybody’s wages to suffer with obesity, but “this indicates you’re not that disadvantaged as a guy, from a wage perspective,” said
Ferguson, who plans to study why. Then consider that obesity is linked to earlier death. While that’s not something people usually consider a pocketbook issue, the report did average in the economic value of lost life. That brought women’s annual obesity costs up to $8,365, and men’s to $6,518. The report was financed by one of the manufacturers of gastric banding, a type of obesity surgery. The numbers are in line with other research and aren’t surprising, said Dr. Kevin Schulman, a professor of medicine and health economist at Duke University who wasn’t involved in the new report. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and childhood obesity has tripled in the past three decades. Nearly 18 percent of adolescents now are obese, facing a future of diabetes, heart disease and other ailments. Looking at the price tag may help policymakers weigh the value of spending to prevent and fight obesity, said Schulman, pointing to factors like dietary changes over the past 30 years and physical environments that discourage physical activity. “We’re paying a very high price as a society for obesity, and why don’t we think about it as a problem of enormous
Trost appointed state revenue commissioner
NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen has named Nashville attorney Charles A. Trost to serve as revenue commissioner. Trost replaces Reagan Farr, who left for the private sector on Sept. 1. Bredesen, who can’t run again because of term limits, leaves office in January. Trost previously worked for the Waller Lansden Dortch and Davis law firm, where he specialized in state and federal tax law. He earned his law degree from the University of Alabama, a master of law degree from New York University and his bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt.
State fifth nationally in women killed by men
NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee ranks fifth in the country in the rate of women killed by men. The statistic is included in a new Violence Policy Center report “When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2008 Homicide Data.” The Tennessee rate was listed as 1.97 women slain by men per 100,000 women. Nevada was No. 1 at 2.96 per 100,000. Nationally, the rate of women killed by men in single victim/single offender instances was 1.26 per 100,000.
Bredesen says no reason for a state tax increase
CHATTANOOGA (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen says there should be no need for a tax increase when Tennessee’s next governor recommends a budget next year. The governor said Monday in Chattanooga that lawmakers deviated from what he recommended this year by about $100 million but his administration is looking for ways to offset that with existing revenues. Agency heads have been told to look for ways to cut spending by up to 3 percent in planning for the budget year that starts July 1, 2011. The state budget approved for this year is about $30 billion.
WASHINGTON — It turns out the recession ended more than a year ago. Feeling better now? The panel that determines the timing of recessions concluded Monday that this one ended — technically, anyway — in June 2009, and lasted 18 months. The duration makes it the longest since World War II. It may be over, but you won’t be hearing any cheers from the millions of Americans who are struggling to find a job. Or are worried about the ones they have. Or have lost their homes. Or are behind on the mortgage. “Every single one of the individuals who wrote the report needs a serious reality check,” said Bob Johnson of the Queens borough of New York, who is 46, had worked in communications and has been looking for a job for more than three years. Not that it’s the fault of the academics — in this case the National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of economists based in Cambridge, Mass. It’s their job to declare when recessions officially begin and end.

Their finding is one that economic historians spend a lot of time pondering. Politicians care, too. They don’t want to be blamed for downturns that happen on their watch. One of those politicians is President Barack Obama, who inherited the recession — it began in December 2007, according to the bureau. Obama found little reason Monday to celebrate that it had officially ended. “The hole was so deep that a lot of people out there are still hurting,” the president, whose Democratic Party faces a likely setback in the midterm elections, said at a town-hall meeting spon-
sored by CNBC. Obama has made a point of noting small signs of progress in the economy, which is growing slowly. Some Democrats have urged him to stop boasting about any progress at all, for fear that it irks people who feel things aren’t getting better and makes politicians seem out of touch. For Melody Brooke, a 55-year-old marriage and family counselor in Lewisville, Texas, it didn’t feel in her household as if the recession ended 15 months ago. Her household finances were in shambles at the time. “It felt like the heat of it for us,” Brooke said.

FDA to consider OK of modified salmon
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal food regulators pondered Monday whether to say, for the first time, that it’s OK to market a genetically engineered animal as safe for people to eat. The Food and Drug Administration is holding two days of hearings on a request to market genetically modified salmon. Ron Stotish, CEO of AquaBounty, the Massachusetts company that made the marketing request, said at the meeting Monday that his company’s fish product is safe and environmentally sustainable. Critics, however, call the modified salmon “frankenfish” that could cause allergies in humans and the eventual decimation of the wild salmon population. An FDA advisory committee is reviewing the science of the genetically engineered fish this week and hearing such criticisms as the agency ponders approval.
2 Belgian bishops want debate on priest celibacy
BRUSSELS (AP) — Two Belgian bishops openly questioned mandatory celibacy for Roman Catholic priests, rekindling a debate Monday within the scandal-hit church. The bishop of Hasselt, Patrick Hoogmartens, and his counterpart in Bruges, Jozef De Kesel, said in separate comments that married men should not automatically be excluded from priesthood. The comments come amid the scandal over sex abuse among the clergy which has shaken the Belgian church Aspiring rapper pleads to its core.

Recession over — so where’s the party? By JEANNINE AVERSA AP Economics Writer
Richard “Sam” McCroskey was sentenced to life in prison Monday as part of his agreement to plead guilty to two counts of capital murder and two counts of first-degree murder. His attorney, Cary Bowen, said after the hearing that the prospect of the death penalty was a major factor. “Four bodies are pretty compelling evidence,” Bowen said. “This is the kind of stuff that citizens any place in this country are terrified it could happen to them. This is the kind of case death penalties arise from.” McCroskey, from Castro Valley, Calif., arrived at the Prince Edward County Circuit Court shackled and heavily guarded.
Her outlook is starting to brighten. Her husband finally found full-time work about a month ago. And Brooke’s counseling business is picking up: She’s on track to make about $35,000 for the year. For the rest of the country, the statistics are familiar and grim. Since the recession began, 7.3 million jobs have disappeared. Nearly 2.5 million homes have been repossessed. Unemployment is at 9.6 percent. Since the technical end of the recession, the economy has been growing. But the growth has been painfully slow.

Cummins Falls may become state park COOKEVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation is trying to raise more than $1 million to buy Tennessee’s largest privately owned waterfall and its director hopes the falls will eventually become the centerpiece of a new state park. The Cookeville HeraldCitizen reports the foundation has the one-time option to purchase 186 acres at Cummins Falls, just northwest of Cookeville in Jackson County. “It’s fabulous. It’s just wonderfully beautiful,”
said Kathleen Williams, the foundation’s executive director. “If you want to feel what heaven feels like brought down to earth, go swimming at Cummins Falls.” Travel & Leisure has ranked it as one of the 10 best swimming holes in America. Not long ago, it seemed there was no chance to save the falls for public use. Williams previously met with a developer who told her he planned to put 80 riverfront houses on the property.
TODAY’S FORECAST
“When he said that, I cried right in his face,” Williams said. “I thought the falls were lost. But the project went belly up.” After that, the land was auctioned, and foundation supporter Glenn Hall purchased it on the organization’s behalf for a little more than $1 million. The foundation has until June 16 of next year to pay him back. Williams said the foundation has already raised more than $300,000 and hopes to raise $1.3 million total. She expects the cam-

Hamblen jail loses certification
The Hamblen County jail is losing its Tennessee Corrections Institute certification. County Mayor Bill Brittain said the problems are overcrowding and inadequate ventilation. Brittain said expanding the jail is not an option. The county may seek to lower the jail population by offering reduced sentences for certain crimes or using more house arrests. The county also may need to find a way to vent more fresh air into the jail.

world quote roundup “The challenge for the tea party movement is to identify specifically ‘What would you do?”’ to help turn around the economy and produce jobs. It’s not enough just to say, ‘Get control of government.’ I think it’s important for you to say, ‘You know, I’m willing to cut veterans’ benefits or Social Security benefits or I’m willing to see these taxes go up.”’ — President Barack Obama

Locally a year ago:
The Tennessee Museum of Aviation gave some WWII pilots a chance to show off the planes that helped them do their job. The men shared their stories of flying ground support over battles, dogfights, dive-bombing or strafing targets. Frank Luskman, WWII Aviator from Pennsylvania, spoke to the gathering saying, “I hate to say it was fun, but you really loved the airplanes and respected your squad mates.” n
Today’s highlight:
On Sept. 21, 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass. by Frank Duryea, who had designed the gasolinepowered vehicle with his brother, Charles. On this date:
In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial that declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. n

GENEVA (AP) — Stevie Wonder pressed global copyright overseers on Monday to help blind and visually impaired people access millions of science, history and other audiobooks, w h i c h they cannot read in Wonder electronic form. The blind singer told the U.N.’s 184-nation World Intellectual Property Organization that more than 300 million people who “live in the dark” want to “read their way into light,” and the current copyright system denies them an equal opportunity.

Library is more than just books By DAVID SARTEN Guest columnist The modern library: How should its role be defined in today’s society and what purpose does it serve in the community? This seems to be the hidden question in recent letters to the editor regarding the new King Family Library in Sevierville. I applaud those who wrote the letters for being willing to publicly express their ideas and concerns. What is the Sevier County Library System’s purpose? It’s a tough question to answer. I once heard Don Reynolds, retired director of the Nolichucky Regional Library, say, “Libraries are an indication of what a community thinks about itself.” I would add that they are also an indication of what a community thinks it can become. What is our purpose? I think that may be best answered by looking at the programs and services we now offer. The Sevier County Library System consists of three branches: the King Family Library in Sevierville, the Kodak Library located off West Dumplin Valley Road in Kodak, and the Seymour Library located on West Macon Lane in Seymour. The three locations contain approximately 82,000 holdings offered for free access to the public including: 25,000 adult fiction, 25,000 adult non-fiction, 15,000 juvenile fiction, and 6,700 juvenile non-fiction print books; 3,000 adult and juvenile audio format books; 2,215 adult and juvenile DVDs; 4,000 adult and juvenile VHS tapes; 530 adult and juvenile music CDs. There are 39,464 active customers (54% of the service population holds a library card) who visited us 226,779 times in 2009. All of the following services are also offered at no charge: n Internet access on approximately 100 public access computers (used by 1,278 patrons per week in 2009) along with wireless internet access to those patrons with their own computing devices. n Access to public meeting spaces with instructional/presentation projectors and screens (287 community group meetings held in 2009) and a small business center/ computer classroom. n Access to weekly programming for children, youth, and adults (in 2009, 307 juvenile and YA programs were attended by 7,226 people). n Access to R.E.A.D.s eBooks/audiobooks and contracted databases like Ancestry Plus, Gale/Cengage Databases, Credo Reference, Heritage Quest, Tennessee Newspapers, etc. (free with library card number). n Access to and preservation of local, regional, and state heritage through physical and on-line collections. We are about more than just books! All of the above is accomplished by a welltrained and dedicated staff of 21 full-time and three part-time persons. Their work is overseen by the system director and a volunteer Board of Trustees made up of nine individuals from our community. Our operating budget is set by the County Commission, with some capital funding from the City of Sevierville and gifts of private individuals. Our library system is strong because the people of this community are committed to and involved with their libraries. Certainly there is more to be accomplished and we need your help. You can volunteer your time, join a Friends group for the libraries, or simply donate materials for the history center, books for the collection, or other specific items of need. (Donated books not used in the collection can be sold at the annual book sale to help raise money to buy other books/ items for the collection.) With your support, we can continue to obtain more materials and offer extended hours and services. Ultimately our community must have the final word about the type of library it wants. I hope that dialogue will continue, constructive criticism will be expressed, and suggested solutions will be offered. This is what will enable the Sevier County Public Library System to grow and improve, so it can become the type of institution that will both reflect and inspire our community. What kind of library do you want and what will you do to support it? Contact Library Director K.C. Williams at 865-365-1416 or e-mail to kwilliams@sevierlibrary.org. You can contact me at dsarten@sevierlibrary.org. Find us at www.sevierlibrary.org; become a fan of the Sevier County Library System at Facebook.com/sevierlibrary; follow us on Twitter.com/sevierlibrary. — David J. Sarten is the new chairman of the Sevier County Library Board of Trustees. He is a lifelong resident of Sevier County and small-business owner. He has been a member of the Library Board for five years.

Aloha to the luaus
But not before thanks are due to Ripley’s, others for their support The last of the library luaus was held last week, and the people who love and cherish the new Anna Porter Public Library ought to take time to thank Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies for playing a big role in making the new library a reality. When the library board and friends of the library decided some six years ago to raise money for a new facility, they went to Ripley’s for assistance. The aquarium agreed to host five luaus, at no charge, to raise money for the capital project. The fifth one was held last week. The luaus generated thousands of dollars for the project, helping to make the new library near the high school one of the finest of its type anywhere. This was a major commitment for Ripley’s. They’d be turning over the aquarium to the locals for the fundraisers, and doing so at no cost to the community. It was the big gift that
helped put the project near completion. Combined with the Gatlinburg City Commission’s pledge of $850,000, or half of the $1.78 million overall cost, this became a true community project. Ripley’s support came as a result of the efforts of staff members Ryan and Suzanne DeSear, Steve File, Mary Phillips and Chuck Winstead. Ripley’s is a company out to make money, but not at the expense of paying some civic rent. Ripley’s has assisted on many worthwhile projects in Gatlinburg and should be commended for its cooperation and involvement. The library side of this has been aided by the likes of Lee Mellor, who headed up the financial campaign, and Sue Bock, who was chairwoman of the Board of Trustees for the years this project was begun and conducted. Steve Kemp of Great Smoky Mountains Association took over from
Bock as chairman in 2009. City commissioners and officials due credit for their commitment and dollars include current board members Mike Werner, Mike Helton, Mark McCown, Don Smith and Jerry Hays, former commissioner Harry Montgomery. City Manager Cindy Cameron Ogle and finance director David Beeler. If you have seen and been in the Anna Porter Public Library you know what a wonderful and functional facility this is. It also represents a true community effort. From elected officials to library board members to corporate partners to average citizens, this library is emblematic of what a city can do when its collective energy is focused on a needed and worthwhile endeavor. Ripley’s luau commitment has ended, but not its support of all things good in and around Gatlinburg.

Public forum Mother can’t get help for son injured in 2009 wreck
Editor: On May 2, 2009, the wreck on Allensville Road that left my son Corey Tibbs horribly injured has led us to today where we have over $700,000 in medical debt from that wreck. The criminal case was dismissed on Sept. 2, and our civil case pending against Corey Robinson has ended, due to Zayne McPeek dropping out of the lawsuit. My son still has to undergo cardiac ablation. He still has another facial surgery and still needs teeth implants where his teeth were knocked out in the wreck. Yet, everyone else is quite content with what has happened. I feel so horribly deceived after making a decision to allow Zayne McPeek to join my civil
lawsuit against Corey Robinson. What a poor lack of judgment on my behalf for thinking I knew someone that I didn’t. Everyone wants to hear all about Corey Robinson to see if he was proven innocent, and they want to hear about the parents of the child who was killed in the same car wreck, but no one seems to care about my son, who has to go through life with a traumatic brain injury and be on memory pills for the rest of his life. He has 37 screws and eight plates in his face, he has a heart issue that has caused him to take heart medicines for the rest of his life. Where is his restitution? He is an 18-year-old that can’t work and has no health insurance because I can’t cover the COBRA. He was turned down for TennCare. We have pretty much lost everything. We had to move out of Tennessee because of all this.
Bills have fallen behind, we are still struggling to make ends meet. And to think what the future surgeries he has to have will cost? Where is the responsibility of the person who caused this, or the responsibility of the person who caused us to lose our attorney for the civil lawsuit to fight for his medical needs and previous medical to be paid for? Where is our justice? All because in a court of law, a judge heard a case that was corrupted by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for changing formulas to the rate of speed on impact of the tree. So without the burden of proof, we are left with nothing except for all the injuries and tragedies from the wreck on Allensville Road on May 2, 2009. Where is my son’s help?

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL
Vols making too many mistakes to be competitive By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — Coach Derek Dooley felt a little bit better about Tennessee’s efforts as he jogged off the field after the Volunteers’ loss to Florida. Then he watched video from the game and that all changed. “You come out there feeling like you competed pretty good and then you see all the missed opportunities, and it just makes you sick,” he said. The Vols (1-2) again were a victim of their own youth and inexperience in a 31-17 loss to No. 9 Florida on Saturday. They didn’t give up this time, like they did in a loss to No. 5 Oregon, but they made mistakes which cost them what was a winnable game in Dooley’s eyes. The coach also thinks UAB (1-2) has enough experience and depth to take advantage of Tennessee’s mistakes, just like the Gators did. “They’ve played in these kind of games so they’re not going to be starry-eyed,” Dooley said. “They’ve got more experience, more depth. They don’t have to bring their best to beat us, they can beat us even without their best.” Tennessee gave up two interceptions and a fumble to Florida, and every one of them was costly. The Vols gave up a sure score when Matt Simms threw an interception from the Florida 3 to Jonathan Bostic in the back of the end zone. Simms’ second interception led to a touchdown by Mike Gillislee, and Tauren Poole’s fumble with five minutes to go cost Tennessee its last chance to keep the game competitive. Beyond that, the offen-
PREP FOOTBALL
No local teams in poll for 1st time in ’10 GATLINBURG —With Gibbs’ 52-14 throttling of Gatlinburg-Pittman on Friday it’s no surprise that for the first time in 2010, Sevier County has no ranked teams in the AP prep football poll. Without another glamorous game until Oct. 8’s matchup with Fulton, which would give the Highlanders a chance to redeem themselves, it’s unlikely a local team will re-emerge on the polls anytime soon. Sevier County was on the poll earlier this season before losing two straight to Jeff County and Dobyns-Bennett.

sive players seemed to forget the assignments they learned in practice. The running backs were jumpy when they ran, the wide receivers didn’t always line up correctly and Simms struggled with accuracy. The defense didn’t suffer as monumental of a collapse as it did allowing 45 consecutive points in a 48-13 loss to Oregon. Defenders tackled better and had success stopping Florida speedster Jeff Demps, though they couldn’t muster much pass defense. “The Oregon game, they got us. They put it on us and we broke. The Florida game, we just didn’t execute,” Dooley said. “We competed well. As many mistakes as we made, we’re sitting there with 11 minutes to go and down 7 and we’ve got a chance to win the football game, and we just didn’t execute from there, so we learn from it.” The Vols’ problems aren’t unlike the problems Dooley has seen in his first year with other programs, including UAB. Dooley knows coach Neil Callaway and his staff well, and has seen the Blazers players improve over time. “They’re four years into their program, and this is what you see your fourth year: You’ve got a deep team, they have 17 starters returning, they’ve got more experience, more depth,” Dooley said. Tennessee will face UAB with even less depth and experience than it had against Oregon and Florida, though Callaway still thinks the team is left with talent. “They have some young players they’re playing with, but coach Dooley has them playing hard, and they are pretty impressive to watch.”

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young (10) loses the ball as he is hit by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison (92) in the third quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday in Nashville.
Fisher: Young still Titans’ starter By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — Jeff Fisher keeps repeating himself. There’s no quarterback controversy in Tennessee, and Vince Young will start Sunday against the New York Giants and for the rest of the season. The status of the Titans’ starting quarterback was the hot topic Monday after Fisher benched Young for the final quarter of their 19-11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. There’s plenty of blame to go around on offense as the Titans (1-1) hurt themselves with seven turnovers, and Young had two interceptions and a fumble. Fisher says lots of NFL quarterbacks struggled in the second week of the season. Despite all the turnovers, the quarterback change almost worked. A defender knocked the ball out of Nate Washington’s hands in the final seconds. Fisher says benching Young was done only to try to spark the Titans, and that the quarterback will start next

week against the New York Giants. The move didn’t work Sunday as backup Kerry Collins had two turnovers against Pittsburgh, and the Titans lost 19-11. “I wasn’t concerned honestly about his feelings at that point,” Fisher said of Young. “I was trying to win the football game. And he’s our starting quarterback, and he will start this week OK? So you know it’s not an easy thing to do to anybody. But he is going to come back, start this week and play well.” Young lost his starting job in the 2008 season opener after a knee injury. Collins came in and finished off the win and held the job as the Titans went 13-3. Collins remained the starter until the Titans’ sixth straight loss to open last season when owner Bud Adams ordered Young back into the lineup. The Titans had nine of 11 games since that change, and Young came into this game as the NFL’s top-rated See TITANS, Page A16
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Former Smokies OF Colvin has season ended with freak injury CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin is expressing disappointment his season is over early, ended by a shattered bat that wound up puncturing his chest. Colvin, who played 283 games with the Tennessee Smokies from 2007-09, was standing at third base in the second inning of Chicago’s 13-3 victory at Florida on Sunday when he was struck by a sliver of Welington Castillo’s broken bat. Castillo doubled on the play and Colvin scored. A Cubs trainer said Colvin was hit in his upper chest, allowing air into his chest well and potentially into his lungs. He was being treated with a chest tube to prevent a collapsed lung and was expected to remain at a Miami hospital for a few more days for observation. In a statement released by the Cubs on Monday, Colvin said he was doing OK, and thanked fans for their support during the season. Colvin also expressed thanks to the Cubs’ and Marlins’ training and medical staffs for taking care of him.

Chicago Cubs' Tyler Colvin reacts as he scores after he was hit in the chest by a broken bat from teammate Welington Castillos' double against the Florida Marlins in the second inning of a game in Miami, Sunday. Colvin has been transported to a Miami hospital and is in stable condition after the incident.

Advice
After 26 years, hubby is fed up with rudeness from wife’s family
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 26 years, and we are very happy. When we first married, we moved next door to my widowed mother-in-law to help her out. About 12 years later, however, we moved to a more family-friendly community 20 miles away where we could raise our three children. My wife stays in close contact with her mother. But Mom has always treated us as if we are less important than my wife’s siblings and their children. For example, every Christmas, the other grandchildren receive gifts carefully selected especially for them, while our kids get cash. This happened even when our children were little and easy to buy for. This pattern has spread to infect my wife’s sisters. They recently planned a family reunion, knowing full well that my family would not be able to attend an event so far away. The latest acts of rudeness are a wedding that requires a two-day hotel stay on New Year’s (even though the couple was married six months ago in a civil ceremony) and another niece’s destination wedding in the Dominican Republic. We don’t have that kind of money, and I have a disability that prevents me from traveling great distances. My question is: Should I feel guilty telling my wife’s sisters that I cannot afford to attend these events? While I will certainly give the bride a lovely gift, how do I make the in-laws realize and appreciate our circumstances without making things worse? How do I make my wife realize that her mother and siblings
treat us like second-class relations? Because I love and respect my wife, I have bitten my tongue for years. I’d appreciate your opinion. -- Fed Up in Ohio Dear Ohio: Your wife loves her family, even if they don’t treat her as well as you’d like. Don’t sow discontent. Be supportive, letting your wife know how much you love and appreciate her. It will give her the strength to deal with her relatives. Meanwhile, since you cannot manage a destination wedding, it’s perfectly OK to send your regrets. If your wife wants to attend and it is affordable, let her go without you. This is a reasonable compromise for such family events. Dear Annie: This isn’t the biggest problem in the world, but I’d like your advice. My hubby wears a hearing aid. When we are out in public, especially when sitting in a restaurant, he will dig into his ear to pull the aid out and put it away. I think he should do this in the privacy of the restroom. I haven’t said anything since I’m not sure if I’m right or being too picky. -Curious in California Dear Curious: How much digging are we talking about? If he can pluck the hearing aid out without much fuss, it isn’t necessary for him to do it in the restroom. If, however, other people
t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

Tina’s Groove
are present at the table or he has to spend more than 10 seconds getting it out of his ear, he should excuse himself. Dear Annie: You were too one-sided in your response to “N.Y.,” who wanted his wife to run errands with him on Saturday because places are closed on Sunday. His wife, however, wanted him to go hiking or take drives on Saturday. Stay-at-home wives may feel sad and powerless if errands take over the husband’s first free day. She’s not trying to control the agenda. She wants to have fun with him. They could compromise if she runs some of his errands during the week and he comes home early after work and finds a library or mall with evening hours. Then they could split the Saturday agenda to include both errands and bike rides. -- Vermont Outdoor Girl Dear Vermont: We respectfully disagree. The simpler and more logical compromise is for them to run errands on Saturday and bike on Sunday.

Bowyer brings a breath of fresh air to NASCAR By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There’s a swagger and style about Clint Bowyer that should put him high on the list of NASCAR’s most likable drivers. But with just three Sprint Cup wins on his resume, he hasn’t put up the performances needed to capture widespread attention. That could be on the verge of changing. Bowyer’s win Sunday in the opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship was a breath of fresh air to a NASCAR fan base weary of Jimmie Johnson’s four-year reign of dominance. A blue-collar racer who rose through the ranks of Midwest short track racing, Bowyer so far has resisted being molded into a polished corporate pitchman. So as Bowyer celebrated his victory with his Richard Childress Racing crew, vice president of competition Mike Dillon pointed out to the boss just how big the win could be for the entire sport. “He came over to me in the winner’s circle and said, ‘This is the best thing for NASCAR. We need somebody like Clint Bowyer winning races and running for this championship,”’ team owner Richard Childress recalled. “He came from the short tracks, the dirt tracks. He’s worked and he’s earned his way to where he is today. He’s very fan friendly. The fans love him. “It’s what I think NASCAR needs, a new type of hero.” It’s just one round into the 10-race Chase, but NASCAR had to have been pleased with Sunday’s show. The race was full of twists and turns for the championship contenders, who all insisted the championship couldn’t be won at New Hampshire but it most certainly could be lost. A poor finish in the opener could derail the title hopes of an entire team, and a decent day, well, that could hurdle
a driver into the heart of the battle. It’s what happened to Bowyer, who slid into the 12-driver field as the final seed. Then his win jettisoned him up to second in the standings, just 35 points back of leader Denny Hamlin. He had a similar fate in 2007, when he grabbed his first career victory in the Chase opener and rode the momentum to a career-best third-place finish in the standings. Now, in a season of resurgence for an RCR team that struggled to keep pace with NASCAR’s heavyweights last year, Bowyer could make a similar run. “I really feel like, why not us?” Bowyer crew chief Shane Wilson said. “Jimmie Johnson is good, but he’s won four in a row. The last four or five weeks, we’ve been right there with him. He’s not that much better than us. We can do it, and why not us?” Several teams had the same thoughts as they left New Hampshire stacked in a wide-open field for the championship. Johnson had an uncharacteristically bad day, surviving a spin only to fall victim to a loose wheel. He had to pit under green, couldn’t catch a caution and finished 25th, lowest among the Chase drivers. Although he dropped to seventh in the standings, all may not be lost for the champion: Since the Chase began in 2004, the champion has finished sixth or better at New Hampshire every year but once, in 2006, when Johnson finished 39th but rallied to win the first of his four titles. He heads to Dover this weekend thinking about another rally, but Tony Stewart may not have the same confidence. Stewart took the lead from Bowyer late in Sunday’s race, but as both drivers tried to stretch their final tank of gas a daunting 92 laps, Stewart failed to conserve enough fuel to make it to the finish.
Instead of winning, he finished 24th and dropped to 11th in the standings. Now he’s got to hope everyone in front of him has at least one slip over the remaining nine races, and after watching some of the comebacks Sunday, it may not happen for Stewart. Take Hamlin, for example. He was running fourth when he was spun by Carl Edwards and fell to 22nd after a quick pit stop for repairs. Livid over the radio, he calmed down enough to slowly work his way back through the field. Had the race gone just one more lap, he likely would have beat Bowyer. Instead, he settled for second and maintained his lead in the standings. Then there was Kevin Harvick, the points leader most of the regular season and Bowyer’s teammate at RCR. A poor first pit stop put him in the hole, and it didn’t seem to get much better over the next several trips down pit road. Yet he somehow stole a fifth-place finish, and that ability to salvage a bad day has got to have everyone worried. Same goes for Kyle Busch, who nearly melted down over the radio before he was reigned in by crew chief Dave Rogers, who essentially told him to shut up and drive. When it was over, he was ninth and still in the thick of the title race. They’re all gunning for Johnson, and Bowyer believes everyone — himself included — has a shot. “He’s still the guy everybody is chasing. You’d have to be a fool not to think he’s not going to be the one down to the wire you’re going to be racing for this thing,” he said. “But I have to tell you, this is as strong, since I’ve been in the sport, this is as strong a Chase as ever.”

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young lies on the field after being sacked by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday, Sept. 19, in Nashville, Tenn. Young was replaced as quarterback by Kerry Collins a short time later.

passer after the opening week. But this was Young’s first start against Pittsburgh, and the Steelers intercepted two of his passes. He was 7 of 10 for 66 yards, and his final play came when he was sacked and stripped of the ball after Chris Johnson missed a block. Young was slammed awkwardly to the ground by Steelers linebacker James Harrison. Young walked off the field to the sideline to boos. He said Fisher didn’t tell him of the change and he didn’t get a chance to lobby to stay in the game. “I’m definitely disappointed for being benched, but at the same time, he is the head coach,” Young said. Collins, who started the first six games last season before being benched for Young, warmed up. He went on the field for Tennessee’s first series of
the fourth quarter with the Titans trailing 16-3 to cheers from the crowd. The change didn’t help. His series ended when Bryant McFadden intercepted Collins, and the veteran also lost a fumble. He did drive the Titans 85 yards for a touchdown and a 2-point conversion, and Nate Washington had his hands on a TD pass in the end zone broken up by Bryant McFadden in the final seconds. “Seven turnovers is just way too many, and we’re all accountable for that,” Collins said. “Against a team like this, a team that’s hard to move the ball on, you turn the ball over and give their offense short field position, it makes it tough.” Young said he understands games like this happen and moving forward matters most. Told Fisher said he would start the next game, Young said he hoped and prayed that was true. “I just want them to continue to keep trusting in me,” Young said.
