Emergency personnel work to extricate the female driver of a Pontiac Sunfire after a head-on collision with a Chevy pick-up truck late Thursday afternoon on Pittman Center Road in the first curve past Mitchell Bottoms. The driver of the Sunfire was flown by Lifestar with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the truck did not appear to have life-threatening injuries. The Sevier County Rescue Squad, Caton’s Chapel/Richardson Cove fire Department, Sevier County Volunteer Fire Department, Sevier County Ambulance, Sevier County Sheriff Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded to the scene.

PIGEON FORGE — Plans to build a second fire station in Pigeon Forge are getting a boost, thanks to a $2 million grant that is part of the federal government’s stimulus program. The city’s fire department was one of more than 6,000 across the country that applied for the money, with only 100 — two from each state — selected. The Limestone Cove Fire Department in Unicoi County got Tennessee’s other award. The money will fund construction of a station between 7,000 square feet and 8,000 square feet on Veterans Boulevard near McCarter Hollow Road. The move will allow the department, which only a couple years ago got its first paid staff members, to improve services it provides to local residents, city officials said. “I am very excited about the expansion of services this new fire station will bring to our city,” Chief Tony Watson said. “It will enable us to provide our city a much-needed station and increased services for our residents, businesses and many visitors to our city.” The grants were awarded by the Department of Homeland Security through the Fire Station Construction Grant Program. That initiative was flooded with cash See station, Page A4

Parks Second Century Commission submits final report By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The National Parks Second Century Commission, an independent and bipartisan group formed to rethink the vision of the National Park Service as it approaches its 100th anniversary, submitted its final report to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar during a phone press conference Thursday. The commission is funded by a grant from the National Park Conservation Association and is chaired by former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker Jr. (R-TN) and former Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman

Panel suggests spending more on national parks. Article on Page A5.

J. Bennett Johnston Jr. (D-LA). Commission members included external experts and visionaries who are leaders in diverse fields and who spent a year analyzing the National Park System. “It’s been an interesting journey for all of us,” Johnston said. “It’s been revealing, it’s been fun. It struck me how much the parks’ capabilities have expanded over the years.” The commission’s report called for numerous enhancements to the

park system, including making education an explicit part of its mission for the first time. Commission member Dr. Steve Lockhart, Yosemite National Institutes chairman of the board and Surgical Services California Pacific Medical Center medical director, pointed out that students who participated in the parks’ interpretive programs had higher test scores and demonstrated environmental-friendly actions. The commission also called for strengthening the National Park

Service’s management, research and community assistance capacity, along with significant steps to become more innovative, diverse and responsive. Another recommendation was improvements to park service authorities, budgets and programs that provide the leverage to work cooperatively with local communities and stakeholders to preserve parks and surrounding landscapes. “The superintendents of the parks who we met with were bold and creative, and their staff had a strong commitment to the park,” said Margaret Wheatley, Berkana See report, Page A4

have neighboring mountains named for them. A stream, trail and camping shelter in the national park also bear Kephart’s name. The 248-page “Smoky Mountain Magic” is now available in both paperback ($12.95) and hard cover ($19.95). All proceeds are being donated to the Horace Kephart Foundation (in support of an annual celebration in Bryson City), Great Smoky Mountains Association and Friends of the Smokies.

Great Smoky Mountains Association has released its newest book, “Smoky Mountain Magic,” a novel by Horace Kephart. Although completed in 1929, two years before the author’s death, the novel had never been published. “We had no idea that a Kephart novel even existed. The unpublished manuscript for ‘Smoky Mountain Magic’ was handed down within the Kephart family until it was finally brought to the attention of park superintendent Dale Ditmanson by Libby Kephart Hargrave, the author’s great-granddaughter, at one of this year’s 75th anniversary celebrations,” Cathy Cook, chief of resource education and science, said. ‘The typewritten manuscript was complete, having gone through numerous drafts and revisions “I can unlock great information with my finger” over the course of the eight years that Horace Kephart labored over it.” The fictional story takes place during the hosting a night of summer of 1925, mostly music, fun & food specials along the Deep Creek watershed in Great Smoky Mountains, but Come enjoy music by The Pilgrim Heirs also in a thinly disSaturday September 26th guised Bryson City (called Kittuwa) and 5p.m.-7p.m. the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

Water requirements for cattle The impact of water for livestock in a drought can be as dramatic or worse as the impact on feed and crops. Hot, dry weather increases the water needs of livestock and many times reduces both quality and quantity of water. Water is the most important nutrient for cattle. Cattle in good health can live for weeks without food but will die within seven days without water. The amount of water an animal needs daily is dependent upon many factors. Size, age, stage of production, condition and average daily temperature are all factors that influence an animal’s water needs. Water requirements can nearly double when temperatures increase from 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Experts with University of Tennessee Extension recommend the following guide for water requirements for various classes of beef cattle and various temperatures: Cattle Class/daily gal. water 70 F/80 F/90 F n 500 lb calf/6.5/7.4/10.6 n 800 lb growing heifer or steer/9.3/10.6/14 n 800 lb finishing cattle/10.8/12.3/16.5 n 750 lb pregnant heifer/9.0/10.3/14.6 n dry pregnant

He moved into an abandoned cabin on a tributary of Hazel Creek. There Kephart befriended his neighbors and pursued his passions for hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and generally living off the land. His book “Our Southern Highlanders,” a classic work on the people of the Smokies, and “Camping and Woodcraft” are still in print. During the 1920s, Kephart and his friend and fellow hiker George Masa began a campaign to have the mountains protected as a national park. Kephart wrote letters, articles and a booklet championing the cause, and Masa contributed his landscape photographs. Both Kephart and Masa figure prominently in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park segment of a new 12-hour PBS documentary series by Ken Burns, For their successful effort, Kephart and Masa

The outcome “gives me cautious optimism about the possibility of improving this result� and developing a more effective AIDS vaccine, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which co-sponsored the study. “It’s an opening of a new gateway to a road that has brighter lights in it now and maybe some directions,� he said. “We need to bring the best minds together and map the way forward.� That has already started.

from public and private sources. One key recommendation is the creation of a presidential-appointed commission to promote the importance of the parks and raise substantial private funds by the park service’s 2016 centennial. “Nothing has dimmed my enthusiasm for the national parks,� Baker said. “I think the thing that sets us apart from the rest of the world is the feeling that we own them, that they’re there and we should use them.� For more information on the commission and its report, visit www.visionfortheparks.org.

under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed earlier this year. In selecting the departments that received the money, federal officials looked at each department’s plans and needs, Watson said. Since the local effort isn’t what has been termed “shovel ready,� meaning ground won’t be broken immediately, Watson was skeptical about the city’s chances. Still, the chief’s efforts with international risk management firm ISO to determine needs and the best site helped get the grant, City Manager Earlene Teaster said. “Our fire chief, Tony Watson, and his staff have worked diligently to secure this grant,� Teaster said. “I’m very proud of Chief Watson for all the foresight and leadership he brings our department.� The exact amount of the grant, announced this week by U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., is $2,045,072. That will cover most of the $2.5 million construction cost engineer Mike Smelcer has told city officials to expect. That work will be done on land the city already owns. Not only will the facility enhance the department’s service in an area not wellserved under ISO’s guidelines, it will also provide additional service for other parts of Pigeon Forge. That will expand in the future when plans to extend Jake Thomas Road are completed, Teaster said. “This will really help the

firefighters to provide better service and reach out to a larger area in a shorter time,� she said. “It’s going to really enhance what our department does.� Additionally, the project will provide more than just fire protection. It will also help lower insurance premiums for many in the city. Insurers offer a discount if a structure is within a certain distance of a fire station. In announcing the grant, Roe praised the city. “I am pleased to announce this important funding for the Pigeon Forge Fire Department,� Roe said. “This grant will help give the firefighters in the city of Pigeon Forge the vital resources they need to save lives and protect the community.�

Scientists and government leaders have already started mapping out how to try to improve the world’s first successful AIDS vaccine, which protected one in three people from getting HIV in a large study in Thailand. That’s not good enough for immediate use, researchers say. Yet it is a watershed event in the 26 years since the AIDS virus was discovered. Recent setbacks led many scientists to think a successful vaccine would never be possible. The World Health Organization and the U.N. agency UNAIDS said the results “instilled new hope� in the field, even though it likely will be years before a vaccine might be widely available. “This is truly a great moment for world medicine,� said Lt. Gen. Eric

Schoomaker, the U.S. Army Surgeon General. The Army helped sponsor the study, the world’s largest of an AIDS vaccine. The study was the first time scientists tried preventing HIV the same way they treat it — with a combination approach. It used two vaccines that work in different ways, and that may be one reason the strategy worked, even though neither vaccine was successful when tested individually in earlier trials, scientists say. The combination cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 percent in the study of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand, researchers announced Thursday in Bangkok. That benefit is modest, yet “it’s the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine,� said Col. Jerome Kim, an Army doctor who helped lead the study.

U.N. council backs broad nuke agenda By CHARLES J. HANLEY AP Special Correspondent UNITED NATIONS — With President Barack Obama presiding, the U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously endorsed a sweeping strategy aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons and ultimately eliminating them, to usher in a world with “undiminished security for all.� “That can be our destiny,� Obama declared after the 15-nation body adopted the historic, U.S.-initiated resolution at an unprecedented summit session. “We will leave this meeting with a renewed determination to achieve this shared goal.� The lengthy document was aimed, in part, at the widely denounced nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, although they were not

named. It also reflected Obama’s ambitious agenda to embrace treaties and other agreements leading toward a nuclear weapon-free world, some of which is expected to encounter political opposition in Washington. On both counts, Thursday’s 15-0 vote delivered a global consensus — countries ranging from Britain to China to Burkina Faso — that may add political impetus to dealing with nuclear violators, advancing arms control in international forums and winning support in the U.S. Congress. “This is a historic moment, a moment offering a fresh start toward a new future,� U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon said, saluting the first such Security Council gathering of presidents and premiers to deal with nuclear nonproliferation.

The 2,300-word document did not authorize any concrete actions, but it urged action on a long list of proposals before the international community. It called for negotiation of a treaty banning production of fissile material for nuclear bombs and establishment of internationally supervised nuclear fuel banks, to keep potential bomb material out of more hands — both items on Obama’s agenda. It also urged states to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), the 1996 pact banning all nuclear bomb tests, another Obama goal. The United States is among nine nations with nuclear weapons or technology whose approval is required for that treaty to take effect, but which have not ratified the CTBT.

Kennedy loyalist tapped as Senate replacement BOSTON (AP) — Paul G. Kirk Jr. served Edward M. Kennedy as an aide, rooted beside him at Harvard-Yale football games and is the executor of his will. Now, as Kennedy’s replacement in the Senate, he is charged with trying to complete his late friend’s legacy by passing health care reform. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick tapped the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday to hold Kennedy’s seat until a special election Jan. 19. Kirk, 71, said he would not run himself. The announcement came after the Democraticdominated Legislature changed the state’s Senate succession law to restore

the governor’s power to appoint an interim replacement. Republicans went to court in a last-ditch effort to stop Kirk from being sworn in. President Barack Obama and his staff lobbied for the change, hoping to regain a 60th Democratic vote that would prevent Senate fili-

busters from derailing his top legislative priority, a national health care overhaul. Obama said in a statement: “Paul Kirk is a distinguished leader, whose long collaboration with Sen. Kennedy makes him an excellent, interim choice to carry on his work

WASHINGTON (AP) — Spending on national parks should be increased by at least $700 million over the next seven years, an independent panel urged Congress on Thursday . The additional spending should bring increased tourism, promote enjoyment of the outdoors and help preserve national treasures for future generations, the panel said. The bipartisan National Parks Second Century Commission also urged President Barack Obama to appoint a panel charged with promoting the parks and raising private money in time for the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016. It also called for an expansion of the National Park Service’s mission, making education an explicit part of the agency for the first time. “America stands at a crossroads: Down one road lie missed opportunities and irretrievable loss of our natural and cultural legacy. Down the other is a future in which national parks — protected forever and for all — help forge a better world,� the commission said. The panel, chaired by former Sens. Howard Baker of Tennessee and J. Bennett Johnston of Louisiana, presented the 52-page report to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Thursday. Salazar said a spending request by Obama for the next fiscal year would increase park spending by $100 million — exactly the amount the group recommended. Salazar called preserving and enhancing national parks a solemn obligation, and said he and Obama are committed to honoring that pledge. “These are beautiful places and historic sites that have been passed on to us by past generations, and now we have a responsibility to pass on these treasures to our children and grandchildren,� Salazar said. Baker, a Republican, and Johnston, a Democrat, worked on the report for 13 months. The commission was made up of 26 national leaders and experts, including scientists, historians, conservationists, academics, business leaders, policy experts and retired National Park Service executives.

Haslam gun stance blasted by rivals NASHVILLE (AP) — Bill Haslam’s rivals for Tennessee’s Republican gubernatorial nomination are finding ammunition in the Knoxville mayor’s position on guns. Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga, both vocal supporters of gun rights, are targeting Haslam’s support for a Knoxville City Council vote earlier this week that keeps in place a ban on handguns in city parks, playgrounds and sports

fields. “Once again Mayor Haslam comes down on the wrong side of our Second Amendment rights guaranteed in the Constitution,” Wamp said in a statement. The state Legislature this year passed a law that allows handgun carry permit holders to bring their weapons into city and county parks. But the law gives local governments the power to opt out. About 70 cities and counties have decided against allowing people

with permits to go armed in local parks. Haslam supported the ban at the council meeting because it could be worse for gun owners if “we monkey with the situation we have right now,” because changing the ordinance might lead to criminal penalties for violators. Knoxville is the only large city in Tennessee without criminal penalties for bringing guns into parks, he said. Campaign consultant Tom Ingram said he expects Haslam’s opponents to “try to obscure

that and some other things that are as clear as the nose on your face.” But Ingram said voters should see through any attacks on Haslam over gun rights. “People who pay attention and understand that he is a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment — and ignore people who mislead and distort — will be fine with his position,” Ingram said. Haslam has been publicly refining his position on guns as he makes his statewide race.

commentary

Racists still there, but not as many Jimmy Carter once promised he would never lie to us. But he has been known to exaggerate a bit. I think he did that in proclaiming that opposition to President Obama and his agenda of change is “overwhelmingly” because of the president’s race. “Change” is the key word here. There are certainly people out there who cannot stand the idea of an AfricanAmerican living in the White House. But there are a lot more, I believe, who really think this guy is going to ruin the country they love, or the country they imagine or remember. Some of them are just nuts. But there is certainly nothing new about that. Populism and suspicion (or hatred) of real or perceived elites is as old as the Republic. If Obama were a white Harvard Law School graduate, there would be just as much anger and fear about change. The passion and paranoia might not be as deep, but it would be there. After all, Richard Hofstadter wrote “AntiIntellectualism in American Life” and “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” in the early 1960s. My own memories of the dark side of populism do not go back to angry farmers in the 19th century or Father Coughlin in the mid-20th century, but covering George Wallace’s presidential campaigns was a pretty good primer. What I remember was my introduction to nutcake radio in the 1972 campaign. As a New York Times reporter, I drove across the Florida panhandle, from Tallahassee to Pensacola, listening to the beginnings of talk radio. On WMEN, 1330 on the dial, I listened to “Call and Comment,” billed as “Tallahassee’s most listened-to show.” A caller began: “I want to talk about all these candidates down here ... About this fellow Edmund Muskie. I heard his name is really Muskovich and he came from Russia.” The host replied: “Well, what if he is a Russian? Would that affect your vote?” “Possibly,” said the caller. “Possibly.” “There you have it, listeners. The question is whether Muskie’s real name is Muskovich and did he come from Russia? The lines are open. ...” Down the road, I switched to “What’s on Your Mind?” on WFTW in Fort Walton Beach. There callers were debating whether a President John Lindsay would name Huey Newton of the Black Panthers as secretary of defense and Fidel Castro as ambassador to the United Nations. Ah, freedom of speech! Between them, Muskie, a senator from Maine, and Lindsay, the mayor of New York, both white men, got 16 percent of the vote. Gov. George Wallace of Alabama carried every county in Florida. That was also the time that produced Jimmy Carter, who was then governor of Georgia, projecting himself as the anti-Wallace. I assume that there are still and will continue to be enough angry people to keep Rush Limbaugh living in the style to which he has become accustomed. The Rusty DePasses we will always have with us. DePass, in case you missed it, is a South Carolina Republican activist who used Facebook to comment on a gorilla escaping from a zoo, saying, “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors, probably harmless.” I don’t think he meant Michelle Pfeiffer. The DePass quote was used in London’s Financial Times, where writer Toby Harnden offered an opinion I agreed with: “Has America really turned around and stumbled back into the sulphurous swamps of racial hatred? The short answer is no.” The long answer is that we have come a long way out of the swamp. My students at the University of Southern California often look at me in disbelief when I talk about race in “the good old days.” And now? Racists there still are, but there are many fewer of them and they are aging. Nuts there still are, and their numbers may be flaring at the moment. But if the economy continues to look better — and more importantly, feel better to “ordinary” Americans — if health care is settled as an American right, if Obama is clever enough to find a road out of Afghanistan, those numbers and the passions of the day will be seen as more of a blip than a growing movement. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Privacy invaded

If guilty, the 2 former nursing home workers should get fair but tough punishment Some crimes are beyond belief and understanding, even if they don’t rise to the level of, say, murder or treason. Maybe it’s why some people seem more agitated by animal abuse than burglary or assault on people. Two former health care workers at Pigeon Forge Care & Rehabilitation Center have been charged with one of those crimes that tears at the heartstrings and riles up the emotions. The former nurse assistants at the center have been indicted on four counts of health care abuse for taking photos of senior citizen residents in their care. These weren’t poses for the camera. These were photos of the patients in nude and degrading situations, certainly without the residents’ permission. Let’s be clear. Mary Ann Burgess and April Longmire, both of Sevierville, are innocent until proven guilty. The indictments only indicate there is enough evidence to warrant

a trial, not that they are guilty of wrongdoing. But the findings of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that led to the women being indicted look really bad. Americans regard their privacy with a special reverence. They don’t like unwarranted invasions of that privacy. The very idea that employees of a nursing home would use cellular telephones to take photos of residents in nude and embarrassing situations is reprehensible. These senior citizens are at their most vulnerable, dependent on others for many tasks we take for granted. There is an inherent trust between resident and staff, between residents’ families and staff. Violate that trust and the reaction is swift and unforgiving. Pigeon Forge Care & Rehab is responsible for what goes on anywhere on its property. The state came down hard on the facility, sus-

pending admissions while officials looked into allegations that the photos had been taken. When they were satisfied internal changes had been made to prevent such acts from happening again, they lifted the suspension. But the stigma attached to the allegations won’t be so easily lifted. One or two bad employees can harm an otherwise respectable establishment. If the two former employees are guilty of what they are accused of, their punishment should be fair but tough. If they did it, they have hurt the reputation of a nursing home and its staff. They have upset families. They have violated the sacred trust that came with their responsibility as nurses and patient caregivers. No lives were lost or property destroyed. That shouldn’t matter. What the two women are accused of is wrong and against the law. Leniency doesn’t seem to fit.

Political view

Public forum We should stand with president to promote changes to climate

Editor: The other day, my afternoon ended in tears. Following a barely noticeable link on my daily news site, I read an article about the “runaway melt” happening on the Greenland glaciers. Scientists have recently released a startling report that indicates that the world’s thickest ice shelves are melting at rates even faster than

previously feared. I wept to think of the catastrophic changes this will bring to the world as we know it. As we read of the devastating floods in Georgia, I wonder why more people aren’t making the connection between this melting water being released into the atmosphere and the increase in floods, hurricanes and typhoons across the globe. The United States must take a stand as one of the most powerful and fortunate countries in the world and take responsibility

for our contribution to climate change. We have the opportunity to slow and possibly even reverse some of the devastating changes we have caused. We owe this effort to the planet and to ourselves. I ask my fellow Americans to stand with our president in doing everything possible to promote clean energy and reduce carbon pollution. Alexis Williams Sevierville

PREP VOLLEYBALL

SCHS Bearettes top IMAC rival South-Doyle Win puts Purple in good position for postseason By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School Bearettes volleyball team took care of business Thursday night with a threegame match sweep over visiting district rival SouthDoyle Lady Cherokees 25-22, 25-12, 25-10. The win keeps the Bearettes (14-11, 6-4) in a tie with Jefferson County for third place in District 2-AAA standings with just a couple weeks left in regular season play. The Bearettes, who failed to qualify for the region tournament the past two seasons with third-place district tournament finishes, hope to peak at the right time and manage at least a second-place finish in the district tournament this year.

“Only the top two teams go on to the region tournament,” said SCHS coach Billy Ward. “If we continue to play our best ball, we have a chance to compete at the district tournament. “The last couple years we finished just short of making the region tournament. Our goal this year is to take that next step and make it out of the district tournament.” Thursday night, the Bearettes jumped out in front early in the first game but took their foot off the gas and allowed SouthDoyle to get back into after building an eight-point lead over the Lady Cherokees. “They cut our lead to one point,” said Ward. “But (the Bearettes) rose to the challenge, and we got after it after that.” chitchcock@themountainpress.com

PF Tigers hope to rebound against Grainger tonight By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Pigeon Forge freshman Austin McCarter, left, goes high for an interception during Thursday’s practice at the high school.

PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers gridiron group is looking forward to adding a game to the win column, and they believe they have a chance to do just that during tonight’s game at Grainger Grizzlies. Grainger (2-3), fresh out of the McBee bloodline on their sports rosters, no longer have that one dominant player that can win a game almost single-handedly. Now the Grizzlies spread the wealth, allowing five or six different players into the offensive play mix. The Tigers (1-3), however, believe they have what it takes to match up well with that Grainger talent. “Grainger has a good football team, and we’re going to have to go up there and play hard,” said Pigeon Forge coach Lee Hammonds. “We’ve got to match their intensity and be physical. “Grainger (which defeated Chuckey-Doak 22-6 last week) is hungry to string two wins together, and

we’re hungry to get back into the win column ... so I think it’s going to be a good football game. “We feel like we match up with them. Grainger is no Fulton when it comes to speed and quickness, and I feel like we can match up with (Grainger) speedwise. “I think it’s going to be a pretty evenly matched football game.” The key for a Pigeon Forge win will be getting the ball into sophomore RB Chase Travis’ hands in space. “I feel like Chase can make some plays for us,” said Hammonds. “I know Chase will have a big bull’s-eye target on him, but our fullback Michael Lombrana had a good game against Fulton last week, and hopefully that takes a little pressure off of our tailback.” Freshman “slash” Kaleb Black also figures to be a Pigeon Forge difference maker in tonight’s contest. Grainger, formerly Rutledge, has been a splitback, veer-option type of an offense through the

years. With no McBee to run the quarterback position in that type of offense this year, the Grizzlies have taken a new direction this season. “They’ve went to a true Wing-T offense this year,” said Hammonds. “We recognized one play that they’ve ran this year, and that was a two-point conversion play. “Everything else offensively has changed.” chitchcock@themountainpress.com

PREP SOCCER

Lady Eagles beat Oneida By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — The Seymour Lady Eagles looked in top form Thursday night as they ran through the Oneida Lady Indians 6-0 in lighting-shortened action. Drew Payne’s Lady Eagles scored early and often in the game, getting what would essentially be the game-winning goal just two and a half minutes in. Senior Deborah Huddleston took a ball up the left sideline and delivered what looked like a perfect crossing pass -- only the ball curved into the net for the game’s first goal. “That was a cross,” Payne

said after the game, nearly laughing, “but it curved beautifully into the goal. Moments later senior Courtney Suttles notched the team’s second score of the night to put the tally to 2-0. Within minutes Suttles had another breakaway. Her first attempt on goal was blocked, but she recovered nicely to put in her own rebound to push the Lady Eagles out to a 3-0 lead. Hungry for a win, the team stayed aggressive, and Huddleston hit another great crossing pass, this time to sophomore teammate Kirstie Bridges for the girls’ fourth score of the night under 15 minutes into the contest.

The Lady Eagles added two more goals as the game neared halftime, as senior Lauren Johnson found the goal twice in the final two minutes of play. The second half saw lots of Seymour’s subs get meaningful playing time, but the Blue and Gold didn’t add another goal before play was suspended at the 14:20 mark due to lightning. With enough time played for an official game, the coaches and athletic director Gary Householder conferred and called it a night. The win improves the Lady Eagles to 2-6-1 overall. Seymour is 1-0-1 in district play. mpsports@themountainpress.com

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICITIONS

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICITIONS

College Football Hall of Fame has new home Off-week for Seymour, SCHS, wins for PF, G-P By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

Last week all my high school picks went fairly well, except for Seymour’s loss to Jefferson County, which was a tough to pick game, with teams offering similar styles. This week’s matchups will also feature a tough game that our Pigskin Panel almost universally disagreed with me on.

Gatlinburg-Pittman at Unicoi County Looking at this week’s picks, G-P is a consensus in this game. And looking at the team’s records, who they’ve played and compairing their performances, it’s easy to see why. The Unicoi Blue Devils are 1-4 this season with their lone win coming over a down-on-its-luck Chuckey-Doak team. The Blue Devils have lost the remainder of their games by an average of 17 points. This should be an easy win for the Highlanders. — G-P wins 36-6.

Pigeon Forge at Grainger Despite its 2-3 record, Grainger is struggling this season. The Grizzlies have managed wins over Chuckey-

Doak and West Greene, but most telling is the Grainger crew’s loss to Union County. While the Pats beat Grainger 39-14, they’ve lost the remaining three games (to Cumberland Gap, Claiborne and Carter) by an overwhelming total of 115-6. If Union has struggled that badly on offense and still managed to soundly defeat Grainger, I’m hoping coach Lee Hammonds has gotten a copy of that game film. It’s tough picking a one-win PF team to win an away game, but I think the team’s got the motivation and the tools to beat Grainger. — PF wins 28-21.

TKA at St. AndrewSewanee Admittedly, I don’t know much about TKA’s regular foes. St. Andrew’s did, however, lose to TSD 22-0 this season, while the Lions beat TSD handily in their jamboree. — TKA wins 28-13

ATLANTA — Plagued by low attendance in South Bend, the College Football Hall of Fame hopes to get a boost in visitors after it moves to new $50 million facility next to Centennial Olympic Park. Hall of Fame officials held a news conference Thursday to formally announce the move to downtown Atlanta. A new building will be constructed alongside the park and is projected to open in the summer of 2012, within walking distance of popular tourist attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola. Chick-fil-A and the Atlanta bowl game that bears the company’s name each agreed to kick in $5 million for the project. The state and the city also will contribute, with the remaining funds being raised privately. Gary Stokan, president and CEO of the Chick-fil-A Bowl, acknowledged the challenge of raising money in a struggling economy but pointed out that contributors would be able to spread out their pledges over three years. Plus, there are signs that the worst of the recession is over. “We’ve got to believe that the economy is coming back,� Stokan said. “We feel like 2010, 2011 and 2012 will be better years.� Stokan said four sites

are under consideration, all adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park, which was built as a gathering spot for the 1996 Atlanta Games and is now the centerpiece of efforts to revitalize downtown. The park already is bordered on the north side by the aquarium, the Coke exhibit and a children’s museum. Also on the drawing board is the Museum for Civil & Human Rights, which hopes to open in 2011. “We have fish, we’ve got beverages ... we’ve got civil rights, and now we’ve got college football,� Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin said. The hall failed to draw big crowds after moving from Ohio to South Bend, Ind., in 1995 to take advantage of the proximity to Notre Dame. Supporters predicted it would attract more than 150,000 visitors a year, but it drew about 115,000 people the first year and about 60,000 annually after that. “We should get a lot more people drifting in instead of visitors who are strictly destination oriented,� said Steve Hatchell, president and CEO of the National Football Foundation, which operates the hall. Stokan pointed out that

some 2 million sports fans attend sporting events each year at the nearby Georgia Dome and Philips Arena, and Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium is less than two miles away. The aquarium has drawn more than 10 million visitors since its opening in 2005. “We’ve been working since before the Olympics to make the center of activities for families and visitors in our city,� said Franklin, who is nearing the end of her eight years in office. “This hall will be the jewel in our crown as we continue along that journey.� Among those attending the news conference at a restaurant in trendy Buckhead were former Georgia coach Vince Dooley and ex-Florida State star Ron Simmons, both members of the Hall of Fame. “This is a great move,� Dooley said. “Maybe it should have been made 10 or 15 years ago, but at least it’s coming now.� Stokan said a site for the museum, as well as

the designers and architects, will be announced before the end of the year. Groundbreaking will take place next spring, with construction scheduled to take about two years. “We’re setting our sights real high,� said Dan Cathy, president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, which already is heavily involved in college sports and plans to step up its commitment with the Hall of Fame. “We truly want to make this a world-class destination, like we saw with the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke. “We’re already scouring the country going to museums and working with topflight architects and designers.� Meanwhile, the National Football Foundation has not decided what to do with the soon-to-be-abandoned facility in Indiana. The lease agreement runs through the end of 2010. “I don’t know how long we’ll stay open,� Hatchell said. “We’ll have to see how it goes with South Bend.�

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Tennessee Titans hope to plug up holes on leaky defense By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans aren’t afraid to express their emotions, using words like embarrassed, disappointed, frustrated. Now that they’re in touch with their feelings, they are about the business of fixing a defense shredded through the air the first two games. “The defense that played last Sunday, I hope everybody got a good glimpse of them because they’ll never show up again this year I guarantee that,” linebacker Keith Bulluck said Wednesday. “We’re definitely going to get back to the basics, the defense that we’ve played here the last 10 years I’ve been here starting Sunday.” That would be good timing with the Titans (0-2) visiting the New York Jets (2-0) and hot rookie Mark Sanchez — backed by a defense that hasn’t surrendered a touchdown yet this season. Tennessee has lost two games by a field goal each, but the defense has given up 678 yards passing through for an average of 339 yards per game. The Titans aren’t happy because this is a veteran unit that returned 10 starters from a defense that ranked second in the NFL in 2008 in points allowed and ninth in yards passing allowed. The only missing link? All Pro tackle Albert Haynesworth, who now calls Washington home. Cornerback Nick Harper

“The defense that played last Sunday, I hope everybody got a good glimpse of them because they’ll never show up again this year I guarantee that.” Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck

can cost you. We just have to get back to keying on the little things and playing football the way it’s supposed to be played,” Fuller said. Jets coach Rex Ryan said mistakes happen. But he sees Tennessee as an outstanding defense that will get everything fixed. The Titans have shut down the run so far, allowing a meager 49 1/2 yards per game. “They can wait a week, and that would be fine with me,” Ryan said. It wasn’t just the Tennessee secondary. The Titans didn’t sack Schaub once, though they hit him a few times after he had released the ball. Defensive end Jevon Kearse said they are looking to get to Sanchez who has studied up on Kearse and Vanden Bosch, Bulluck and All Pro cornerback Cortland Finnegan. “We’ll go with what the game plan calls for. We know we have a great running game, and we want to keep that up and keep our rush attempts high. If we need to throw it, we’ll throw it. We enjoy throwing that ball, too,” Sanchez said. Not that the Titans are too worried. Coach Jeff

said it’s surprising from a secondary playing its third season together and featuring three pro bowlers. That includes safety Michael Griffin who said he messed up on a 72-yard TD catch by Andre Johnson and doesn’t’ want to be considered a one-year fluke. “My eyes got caught in the wrong place so just got to learn,” Griffin said. Harper found himself clarifying remarks he made after the 34-31 loss to the Texans about the Titans not making adjustments. The cornerback said Wednesday that he meant the players, not the coaches, and that he wasn’t the kind of person to point fingers. But he said the secondary is embarrassed. “We feel like we’re letting the team down. The past two seasons we felt like we was the strongest unit. Now we feel like we’re the weakest unit right now,” he said. Schaub shredded the defense with seven passes of 19 yards or longer, repeatedly finding open receivers. The Titans all agreed that the mistakes are fixable by studying film and working at practice. Defensive back Vincent Fuller called it basic fundamentals. “We just learned how not doing it every single play

Houston Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones (12) catches a 29-yard touchdown pass as he is defended by Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan in the second quarter of an NFL football game in Nashville last Sunday. Titans defenders Keith Bulluck (53) and Michael Griffin (33) pursue. Fisher pointed out it’s the same defense the Titans played in 2008 even though he has a new coordinator in Chuck Cecil with Jim Schwartz now the head coach in Detroit. Linebacker David Thornton called last week’s

game a wakeup call for the Tennessee defense. “We just have to continue to stay poised and don’t panic. We still have a very, very good football team despite what our record says right now. Our confidence is still high. ... We’re

Museum revived

Christ in the Smokies opens in Gatlinburg By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor

GATLINBURG — A year and a half after Christus Gardens was shut down, its displays sold off and the interior gutted to the bare walls, Christ in the Smokies Museum & Gardens has taken its place. The resurrection of the museum, albeit under a different name and ownership, is due in part to Christus Gardens creative director Mark Pedro, who approached developer Billy Proffitt and encouraged him to reopen the attraction after plans for a proposed condominium development fell through. Proffitt, in turned, called on local attractions developer Charlie Moore to help get the project started. Moore brought his experience from the Guinness World Record Museum and the Hollywood Stars Cars Museum. Pedro returned with the help of local artist Dale Gillespie to re-create the scenes depicting Jesus’ life story. “Gatlinburg needed a Christian attraction,” Moore said of his reasons for signing on to the project. “And I needed another project,” he joked. “Kind of like I needed a hole in my head. But the town needed this.” Pedro echoed Moore’s comment on the city’s need for the attraction, adding he was often told be people who knew of his association with Christus Gardens that they hated to see it go. When he began looking into the possibility of opening a similar attraction, Pedro said it seemed everything just fell into place. “I think it was a God thing,” he said.

Don’t keep putting off the uncomfortable; do it now The e-mailer said, “Carl, I liked your column about your endoscopy — and I look forward to your colonoscopy next week.� Boy, some people really know how to jab a guy when he is down (no pun intended). But you know, having a colonoscopy reminds me of a scene from the classic Paul Newman/ Robert Redford film, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.� With a posse hot on their trail, the two come to the edge of a high cliff above a swift river. Butch says the only way out is to jump. Sundance refuses. Butch emphasizes again it is their only chance to escape. Sundance still balks. Butch volunteers, “I’ll jump first.� Sundance replies, “No.� Butch suggests, “Then you jump first.� Sundance stands his ground with, “No, I said.� Quite perturbed, Butch demands, “What’s the matter with you?� Sundance says, “I can’t swim.� Butch declares, “Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you!� They jump — and survive. Usually, the colonoscopy is a piece of cake — compared to the preparation that almost kills you. If you’ve been there, you know what I’m talking about. I’ve been having these colonoscopies on a regular basis since the early 1980s, based primarily on the fact my father died of colon cancer when he was 61. The prep has improved greatly since I began. But it is still comparable to jumping into a river when you can’t swim. And, believe me, “swim� is a good metaphor. Those of you who have been through the colonoscopic prep know you have nothing but a lot of liquid and what I call dam-breakliquid-mover pills the day prior to the actual probing procedure. This time, I had beef broth, lemon Jell-O and black coffee for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with several bottles of Gatorade and lemon Jell-O throughout the day, accompanied by four pills. Then came the big, swift river, which consisted of drinking a half-gallon of salty water with some type of mystery-elements mixture, consumed in eight one-cup increments every 10 minutes. Laughably, I had four “flavor� packets from which to choose to mix with the liquid. From orange, pineapple, lemon-lime and cherry, I chose the cherry. Don’t choose cherry. Then, again, I’m sure it would not make any dif-

ference if you chose any of the other three. About halfway through the river, the dam began to break — and it broke — and it broke — and it broke — many, many times that day and evening. It even broke three more times before I left home on procedure day at 7:30 a.m. It broke four more times at the hospital after registering at 9:30. I was called in for my scheduled 10:30 pre-procedure final prepping at 11:30, and was finally “proceeded uponâ€? at a little after 1 p.m. The procedure? Oh, I slept through that. And, like the endoscopy the week before, I passed the exam. Now, of course, every time I write and every time I speak, I try to disperse uplifting, encouraging thoughts and principles. My thought for today is “Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performanceâ€? — or — “Proper Preparation Promotes Positive Performance.â€? One of the reasons I had to wait so long for my procedure is that a patient prior to me (undergoing her first colonoscopy) had to have 14 polyps removed and was scheduled for additional surgery to remove the 15th. Thus, today I emphasize Principle 9 from A Strategy For Winning: “Do It Now!â€? — Š 2009. Carl Mays of Gatlinburg is an author and speaker.

H e a lt h D e pa r t m e n t Inspection Reports The Department of Health is responsible for regulation of food service establishments in Tennessee The law requires that restaurants have an unannounced inspection at least once every six months to determine if they are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations at the time of inspection. In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints. Tennessee uses a 44-item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Inspections since Sept. 16:

From Submitted Reports Since 1990, the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom has recorded more than 10,000 book challenges, including 513 in 2008. A challenge is a formal, written complaint requesting a book be removed from library shelves or school curriculum. About three out of four of all challenges are to material in schools or school libraries. Less than one in four challenges are reported and recorded. Most challenges are unsuccessful, and books like “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,� “Slaughterhouse Five,� the Harry Potter series and Phyllis Reynolds Naylor’s Alice series remain available. In support of the right to choose books freely, the association and Sevier County Public Library System are sponsoring Banned Books Week Sept. 26 to Oct. 3. The Sevier County Public Library System, including the facilities in Sevierville, Kodak and Seymour, will participate in special events and exhibits that showcase books that have been banned or threatened. All branches will have displays of banned and challenged book. The Kodak branch will also host a free book-intomovie program featuring “The Outsiders,� on Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. The most challenged and/or restricted reading materials have been books for children. Since its inception in 1982, Banned Books Week has reminded people that while not every book is intended for every reader, each person has the right to decide what to read, listen to or view.

Advice

Let grandson decide if he wants to see his absent father

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I have raised my grandson since he was an infant. He is 24 now and doing well. Our daughter (his mother) passed away when he was 12. He does not remember his father. All these years, we had no idea where his dad was. Our grandson claims to be angry with him, but we know he is also extremely hurt. I’m sure he wonders about his father and would like to hear from him. Just recently, my wife and I found out his dad is alive and well. At our age, if we do not get them together, our grandson may lose the chance forever. I’d like to help them connect, but my wife says to leave it alone. Please let me know what you would do. Your opinion means a lot to us. — Needs To See Daddy or Not Dear Needs: We appreciate the vote of confidence. Your grandson is 24, and we think he should be allowed to make this decision himself. Tell him you’ve recently discovered his father’s whereabouts. Discuss the pros and cons, and ask whether he’d like to try to establish contact. If he says “yes,” give him the information and let him know you are available if he wants your help. If he says “no,” put the information in a sealed envelope and let your grandson know where it is in case he changes his mind. Whichever choice he makes, please be a source of support. He will need you. Dear Annie: When did all of this hugging start? I was taught that public displays of affection were not socially acceptable, and that you

don’t shake hands with a lady unless she offers her hand first. I am really uncomfortable when someone wants to greet me with a hug. I recently had my bladder removed because of cancer and now wear a pouch. Hugging is embarrassing. How can I just shake hands without offending anyone? — Find a Tree Instead Dear Find: Greeting someone with a hug has been around for a few decades, but not everyone enjoys it, and for some it can be too intimate. When approached by a hugger, simply grasp his shoulder with your left hand while reaching with your right to shake his hand. Your left arm will keep him from getting any closer, but you will still appear friendly. If a hugger becomes insistent, it is perfectly OK to say, “Sorry, but I am uncomfortable hugging.” Dear Annie: I was concerned with what you didn’t say to “Worried Mom,” whose 14-year-old is involved with a potentially abusive boyfriend. This girl should not be allowed to spend time alone with this manipulator. She’s still a child. Who is the parent here? Where are the boy’s parents? Both parents should arrange a meeting without the teenagers to discuss their concerns and lay down specific ground rules for these young

people. I’m glad the girl is in counseling, but it sounds as if it’s a necessity for the young man, as well. Parenting is the most difficult job there is, but someone needs to develop a spine and take control of this situation before that is no longer an option. Yes, “Worried” should reinforce her feelings for her daughter, but at this age, what the boyfriend says is far more influential. Teenagers need just as much guidance as toddlers. — Concerned Reader Dear Reader: We wish it were that simple. Telling a 14-year-old who is “in love” that she is forbidden to see the boyfriend will not make the problem disappear. It will make it go underground. The boy’s parents are encouraging the relationship and are not likely to help, although it’s possible that speaking to them could be useful. We hope the boy will get counseling, but more importantly, the girl needs to understand that this is a poisonous relationship and she deserves better. Otherwise, the parents are only postponing the inevitable. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
