Schools avoid interest on loan

INSIDE

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Sevier County Schools received more good news this week about its $14.6 million loan granted by the Tennessee State School Bond Authority: Due to the bonds being priced at an interest rate less than the tax credit rate, there will be no interest cost.

“The net interest cost to all of

5Medical Directory 2010

the borrowers of the 2010 Qualified School Construction Bond Program will be zero,” said Karen King, schools finance director. “It’s phenomenal news.”

The money from the program, which will go toward construction of Northview Academy in Kodak, can only be used for new construction, rehabilitation or repair of public school facilities; land acquisition for qualified school construction

projects; or purchase of equipment used in connection with qualified projects.

The tax credit rate set by the U.S. Treasury as of Wednesday was 4.9 percent. On Thursday, the bonds for the 2010 QSCB program were priced at an interest rate of 4.8 percent.

The direct subsidy from the U.S. Treasury is equal to the lesser of 100 percent of the interest at the tax

credit rate in effect at time of pricing or 100 percent of the amount of interest payable on the bonds.

Because of the earnings that will accumulate in the sinking fund, the transaction will likely result in a negative cost of borrowing for all of the program’s participants.

The anticipated closing date for the bond sale is Oct. 7. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

Man charged in rape of child Staff report Sevierville police have arrested 21-year-old Ivor J. Parsons of Kodak on charges of aggravated rape of a child under 3 years old.

According to Detective Kevin Bush, police recently received a tip, leading to an investi-

gation and subsequent arrest in Knoxville.

Parsons was transported to the Sevier Parsons County Jail and is being held under a

$250,000 bond.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation crime lab, Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center and Department of Children’s Services assisted with the investigation.

The University of Tennessee Police Department assisted in the apprehension

of Parsons, Sevierville police spokesman Bob Stahlke said.

Rape of a child is a Class A felony, the highest level of felonies. A person convicted of a first or subsequent violation of the rape of a child statute faces a minimum prison sentence of 25 years.

Investigation (TBI) probe into “theft and embezzlement” in the office that is still ongoing, as is research by the staffers from the state comptroller’s office.

Unfortunately, it seems likely the public won’t quickly learn the results of those efforts.

Blake Fontenay, a spokesman for the comptroller, was tight-lipped on details, saying he’s bound not to release that information until an official report is printed. Perhaps the most revealing thing he could offer is that, while they’ve left the courtroom they used looking into the clerk’s office’s finances, the auditors are still on the case.

Fruit of their labor Local couple hope they’ve grown world’s biggest watermelon

By STAN VOIT Editor A Sevierville couple will learn today if they have grown the world’s biggest watermelon.

Chris and Janet Kent have taken their melon to Elkin, N.C. for a weigh-off that could give them the title. They have measured their watermelon and are convinced it will weigh around 275 pounds. The current record of 268 pounds has stood for five years.

“We have high hopes for it,” Chris Kent said Friday as he and his wife were leaving for the weigh-off.

The Kents have grown huge pumpkins for the past five years, some weighing more than a thousand pounds, but started growing big watermelons only two years ago.

Those who grow melons this big usually start with Carolina Cross seeds. After that it’s a lot of watering, nurturing and crossed fingers.

“I think this year it had more

store or at the market.

The Kents grow jumbo pumpkins and melons in their backyard garden in Richardson’s Cove.

The couple haven’t weighed their watermelon, but measuring it helps determine its approximate weight. They have had pumpkins weigh less than they thought and some that weighed more, all based on their measurements. Until it’s weighed at an official event, they won’t know for sure.

On Friday the Kents and some friends carefully lifted the melon into the back of their truck, padded it for protection and set out for Elkin.

The first recorded record Submitted watermelon was 195 pounds Chris and Janet Kent of Sevierville with the watermelon they in the 1920s.

S t a t e / N a t i o n / W o r l d b r i e fs Cause of deaths likely next week

NASHVILLE (AP) — A spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Friday that the state medical examiner’s office could reveal next week how a soldier allegedly killed his girlfriend and her two children.

Kristin Helm said a preliminary autopsy report should be completed early next week but the full report probably won’t be revealed for at least 10 weeks.

Matthew Perkins, a 30-year-old U.S. Army recruiter, is accused of killing 26-year-old Stephanie Hershman and her sons, 3-year-old Jathan and 1-year-old Jaylon, in Manchester.

Musicians may relocate museum

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum may move to Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium.

The museum had to leave its original home earlier this year after its building and land were taken by eminent domain to build the city’s new convention center.

According to WSMVTV, Hall of Fame officials and representatives of the city are studying whether the bottom floor of the auditorium would be a good spot for the facility.

Pastor Long led teens on journeys

ATLANTA (AP) — Bishop Eddie Long’s boys’ academy guided teens through their “masculine journey� with lessons on financial discipline and sexual control, right down to a little card the students had to carry in their wallets reminding them why they shouldn’t have sex.

Long himself, though, has been accused of contradicting those virtues.

The bishop — who’s been an outspoken opponent of gay marriage in the past — is being sued by two young men who attended the LongFellows Youth Academy and say Long used the program to groom them for sexual relationships.

Hostage: Tight quarters in Iran

NEW YORK (AP) — Her 410 days of solitary confinement in an Iranian prison were mostly cramped quarters and endless monotony, but Sarah Shourd chooses to savor the few moments of joy: a proposal from her boyfriend and a birthday celebration.

Shourd, her boyfriend Shane Bauer and their friend Josh Fattal were captured in 2009 while hiking near the Iran-Iraq border.

One of her happiest days was the celebration of her 32nd birthday.

Somehow the men, who remain in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison, had persuaded a guard into bringing her the cake.

Prosecutor probe on in Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state agency that weighs attorney misconduct allegations said Friday that it will reopen its investigation of a prosecutor who sent harassing, racy text messages to a domestic abuse victim.

Office of Lawyer Regulation Director Keith Sellen said the agency would again investigate Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz because new information appears to show “a pattern of conduct� by the prosecutor, who has been accused of abusing his office to seek relationships with at least two other women in the last week.

Anemia drugs being recalled

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Amgen Inc. is recalling some lots of its blockbuster Epogen and Procrit anemia treatments because the injected drugs may contain glass flakes that could cause blood clots, swelling of veins, immune system reactions and other problems.

The Thousand Oaks, Calif., biotechnology company says the flakes are barely visible in most cases, and they have fielded no complaints or reports about problems that can be directly tied to them. Patients experiencing problems should contact their doctor.

Ray Charles library opens

Iran would consider ending uranium enrichment, the most crucial part of its controversial nuclear activities, if world powers send Tehran nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters Friday.

Ahmadinejad also said Iran was prepared to set a date for resumption of talks with six world powers to discuss Tehran’s nuclear program.

He also defended his remarks at the U.N. a day earlier in which he claimed most people in the world believe the United States was behind the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

Fontenay said.

He also explained that auditors don’t like to assign a deadline for completing investigations, fearing they might discover something at the last minute that requires more time. A county official who asked not to be named said folks in the courthouse have been told it will likely be three or four weeks before the information comes out.

Fontenay also wouldn’t comment on reports that the findings from Keener’s office would be released in the same report as the rest of the county audit.

Meanwhile, TBI spokeswoman Kristen Helm said Thursday their probe is also still continuing, offering no other information. “At this time the Sevier County clerk’s office case is still under investigation,�

Helm wrote in an e-mail to The Mountain Press.

While the auditors’ report might offer the evidence, it would be the TBI’s findings that could lead to any criminal charges. District Attorney

General Jimmy Dunn will determine if what they discover is enough to warrant prosecution.

Since news of the Keener investigations came out, many have wondered why they have been told by staffers not just in the clerk’s office but other courthouse departments to make checks out to the officeholder by name. It’s a practice that is apparently used statewide and hasn’t caused concerns here.

That may be because early reports indicate that the practice wasn’t part of whatever happened in the clerk’s office prior to Keener’s Aug. 30 resignation.

Still, there are people who are worried by the checks practice. County Mayor Larry Waters defends the county against accusations of anything questionable in allowing the move, pointing out that is allowed by the comptroller’s office and used throughout the state. “The comptroller’s office

tells me that is not unusual anywhere in the state of Tennessee,� Waters said. “It might be something that needs to be viewed from a statewide perspective. It would need to be addressed statewide.�

While Waters won’t condone the practice, he said there may be some misunderstanding about it.

The auditors do not allow county officeholders to ask people to write checks with only their name. Rather they’re told to direct them to make the payment to, for instance, “Larry Waters, county mayor.� That move helps prevent an elected official from pocketing checks meant for the county’s coffers.

Asked about it, Fontenay declined, saying he fears his words would be misconstrued to be a comment on the investigation into the clerk’s office rather than a general one on the practice. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Haslam gets Democrat backing NASHVILLE (AP) — Republican Bill Haslam has released a list of 105 prominent Democrats and independents who support his gubernatorial bid, including several former Cabinet members under Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen.

Among the Democrats backing the Knoxville mayor are former revenue commissioners Reagan Farr and Loren Chumley, former education commissioner Lana Seivers, former environment and

Bredesen, who can’t run again because of term limits, has endorsed Democratic candidate Mike McWherter, son of former Gov. Ned McWherter. The McWherter campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bredesen told reporters that he’s asked current members of his administration to stay out of the

After describing herself as a middle-class American with two kids attending private school and a person who supported the president’s vision and promises of a better future for Americans, Hart dropped a bomb: “My husband and I have joked for years that we thought we were well beyond the hot dogs and beans era of our lives, but quite frankly, it’s starting to knock on our door and ring true that that might be where we’re headed again. ... Is this my new reality?”

Devastating.

The president was taken aback and, after an awkward smile, fell back on his accomplishments.

He ticked off a few things he has done for the middle class and promised better times ahead.

For her part, Hart later told CNN that she still believes in the president but is frustrated with the political climate in America. She is beginning to doubt that the hope and change Obama promised are attainable. And she’s not alone.

The truth is that millions of Americans are doubting whether the supremely confident Obama can solve the vexing problems that are facing the nation, and indeed, there is a growing belief that he is making things worse by imposing a big-government strategy in a time of economic crisis.

There is no way for the president to rebut that belief because the economy is still a mess, despite massive federal spending. All Barack Obama can tell Velma Hart and other Americans is that he believes things will get better and that the country is on the right path.

But that sounds like typical political spin, and the president has to know it.

If Obama were in sync with the folks, it’s possible he would be able to buy himself a bit more time, but he’s not.

Things such as his not addressing the “wisdom” of the ground zero mosque and his Justice Department’s suing the state of Arizona over its tough anti-illegal alien law have made the president suspect in many middle- and working-class precincts.

Not only is Obama getting crushed by the economic numbers, but also his cool leadership style is not playing well in a white-hot 24/7 media cycle that zeros in on every piece of bad news.

It took guts and conviction for Velma Hart to make her case face to face to a president she admires. But Hart was honest, to the point and genuine.

She spoke for millions of Americans who are frustrated and confused with the state of the union.

And the president, for all his rhetorical skills, had no real answer.

The best airport in the state of Tennessee? You might have guessed Memphis or Nashville because they are hubs, or even Knoxville or Chattanooga because they are large cities. But if you guessed one of those four, you’d be wrong.

At the recent 25th annual Tennessee Airports Conference in Nashville, none other than the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport was named 2010 Airport of the Year.

This is no fly-by-night operation. It’s not a one-time pie-in-the-sky award. This is an award richly deserved, and our airport has a history to prove it. It won the same award in 2006 and has won a slew of other awards in the last several years.

The award is based on long-term commitment to operation, appearance, maintenance and safety and service must have been demonstrated.

With a new terminal completed in 2009 and several other projects waiting in the wings, this airport is really taking off.

SPD Lt. Ken Garner gets well-deserved recognition

Lt. Ken Garner of the Sevierville Police Department is one of those tireless public servants who works behind the scenes, ensuring our safety and being there when we need him the most — the kind who never really gets the recognition he deserves. Until now. The Tennessee’s Department of Homeland Security has recognized Garner and 27 other officers and first aid responders for their commitment and sacrifice.

Garner is a sworn U.S. deputy marshal; special investigator for regional task force; regional point of contact for Sevierville; Sevier County Emergency Management deputy director for Homeland Security and Emergency Management II certification. He also is point man in helping agencies from other areas conduct mock exercises.

“These individuals address the most immediate needs of citizens in times of crisis, but are often unsung heroes,” Gov. Phil Bredesen said in presenting the awards. Well said. We can all feel safer with Ken Garner around.

10 home-school students put on historic performance

Ten Sevier County home-school students went into the past to earn some education credits for their future last weekend.

The students “brought to life” 10 settlers buried in Emerts Cove Cemetery as part of Pittman Center’s Heritage Day. The students dressed in costume and recounted the life of the settler he or she was supposed to be. The young actors studied their characters and delivered their presentations from memory, earning credits in history and other subjects.

Among those participating and their characters: Eli Cruise (portraying Frederick Emert); Jada Wilson (Barbara Ann Neidig); Hannah Cruise (Louisa Emert); Caroline Hartley (Sarah Reagan Emert); Emily Hartley (Celia Drucilla Reagan); Miranda Vandergriff (Nancy McMahan Emert); Gabriel Cruise (Phillip Shultz); Christian Wilson (William Brazelton Emert); and C.J. Cruise (Meady White Shields). Hannah Clevenger was videographer; Sabrina Gray provided music.

Take a bow.

Public forum Behavior of kids in teen center makes library an uninviting place

Editor: I read the letter from a woman who said that she would no longer be taking her children to the King Family Library in Sevierville due to inappropriate activity from kids in the teen center.

I have to nod my head in agreement with her.

Seems like the library is a beautiful building with wonderful intent, but things there should and could be a lot better.

Many have written to share my same thoughts.

A stunning building it is, with very few books.

What books are there are often sorely outdated and are very partial in the viewpoints they offer — not a lot of challenging reads with opposing sides.

Books are supposed to make you think, not just go with the majority. It is sad to have ourselves or our children be so interested in subjects yet find little to satiate their hunger for knowledge.

I too have made several contributions of books.

If the county or private donors will not buy more, I hope we as citizens can help out on our own,

but there should have been money allotted for reading materials. Yes, the employees there are very nice, but the behavior of the people that spend time there is often abysmal.

Every single time I am there, it seems more like a playground than a library. Kids (and some adults) are always running through, goofing around and making a lot of noise. On three visits, I have had to inform the front desk. I see that they will do something when we make complaints, but truly, why can they not stop the behavior before we have to complain?

It often happens right in view of employees, who do nothing to stop obvious horseplay and loud interactions.

All it takes is a little vigilance and desire to keep the place quiet. People come to study, read and research. It definitely should not be a babysitting facility, but the staff could do a better job of monitoring.

I have no doubt of what goes on in the teen center. I have seen it myself, so shame on the residents here who add to that.

You have such a wonderful resource and you turn it into a place that many of us no longer

want to visit.

Tigers out-claw Grizzlies 31-14

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — A huge second half defensive effort, coupled with a big momentum swing, pushed the Pigeon Forge Tigers to their second win of the season Friday night, 31-14 over the visiting Grainger Grizzlies.

The Tigers (2-3) found their grove late in the second quarter and took a 17-14 lead on a 40-yard Miguel Coello field goal at halftime, which seemed to ignite the team to their second half dominance.

Over the final two quarters the Tigers stonewalled Grainger to the tune of just two net yards.

Offensively, even with junior running back Chase Travis on the sidelines with a re-injured ankle, the Tigers could do what they wanted in the second half.

Mixing an effective running game, shared by backs Patrick Barbieri, Michael Lombrana and Kaleb Black, with a deceptive passing threat from QB Cory Fox to Black and Coello, and the PF offense put up 17 unanswered points to earn the win.

“I’m proud of their effort,” coach Lee Hammonds said after the game. “They did a good job at halftime, coach (Defensive Coordinator See TIGERS, Page A9

G-P out-guns Blue Devils 48-12

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — It was like payback to an innocent victim.

The GatlinburgPittman Highlanders football team (4-1) snapped back from last week’s 38-point nightmare against Gibbs with a 48-12 win over the Unicoi County Blue Devils (0-6) for the Blue-and-Gold homecoming Friday night at Hammonds Field.

Although the Blue Devils were winless entering Friday’s matchup at G-P, the visitors had at least been competitive in 4-of-5 of their previous contests.

That wasn’t the case against the Highlanders, however. Unicoi County never made a contest of it and trailed 14-0 by the end of the first quarter en route to a 36-point loss that wasn’t even that close. The Highlanders starters left the game with 7:40 on the thirdquarter clock.

“As a coach, I was just like the fans,” said G-P coach Benny Hammonds.

“I was interested to see how we would respond to the (Gibbs) defeat.

“I don’t want to use the word quitters, but when it comes to those kinds of thoughts and you look at how you played, it’s just kind of frustrating and aggravating. I think anybody likes to watch you play as hard as you can, whether you win or lose. Last week, we sure didn’t do that.

“All this week we’ve See G-P, Page A9

Gatlinburg-Pittman senior quarterback Tye Marshall (3) showed off some of his defensive abilities with a tight-roping 20-yard interception return while playing cornerback against the visiting Unicoi County Blue Devils on Friday night.

Marshall threw for two touchdowns in the 48-12 Highlanders victory at Hammonds Field.

And we told them we were interested as a coaching staff to see how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bounce back and respond to (the Gibbs) defeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unicoi County has got a pretty good football team.

They made the first four games close, and their coach made the statement that they could easily be and should be 4-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I like the way our boys took care of business, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kindly got our backs to the wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team togetherness, setting the tempo, trusting each other and counting on each other, I think that kindly showed (on Friday night).â&#x20AC;?

With senior tight end Ryan Taylor missing action with a broken finger, senior wideout Jeremy Hibbard had a breakout game for G-P on Friday, reeling in his first touchdown of the season, a 65-yard catchand-run to paydirt that gave the Highlanders a 27-0 lead with 4:06 in the first half, the score at intermission.

Hibbard also had a 23-yard carry early in the second quarter that seemed to energize the Highlanders offense on a long scoring drive that was capped by a 21-yard Tye Marshall to Ron Durbin aerial score that made it 21-0 with 6:14 until intermission.

But Hibbard wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only playmaker in the G-P

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

G-P senior receiver Jeremy Hibbard (4), right, made at least three Unicoi County defenders whiff on tackle attempts with juke moves on a 23-yard second-quarter run Friday night at Hammonds Field. The Highlanders won 48-12 for homecoming. victory.

After senior running back Walter Barber broke free through the 8-hole on a toss sweep for a 20-yard score â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his third touchdown of the night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with 8:52 in the third quarter, and senior running back Dillon Reagan added a tackle-breaking sixyard tromp up the middle

for another score with 7:40 in the period, the starters left the game with a fastrunning mercy rule clock and a 41-0 lead.

Unicoi County senior running back Scotty Gibson took advantage of the situation, breaking free for several long second-half runs including a 84-yarder to

paydirt with 7:00 even in the third quarter to eliminate the G-P shutout bid, cutting it to 41-6 at the time.

The clock continued to run fast until Unicoi County freshman running back Matthew Lingerfelt broke free for a 10-yard score with 6:06 in regulation. The two-point pass attempt fell

incomplete, but the score was cut to 29 points, 41-12, and regular clock rules kicked back into effect until G-P sophomore running back Jamel Foster added a 12-yard TD run with 1:48 in regulation. Junior kicker Brandon Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick made it the eventual final.

G-P finished the night with 325 rushing yards on 44 attempts, and with 103 yards on 4-of-5 passing by the senior QB Marshall, who threw for two scores and no interceptions.

Barber again led the Highlanders attack with 119 yards on 12 carries with three scores, bringing his season TD total to doubledigits at 10.

Senior running back Dillon Reagan added 75 tough yards on 12 carries with a score of his own.

Hibbard led G-P with 65 receiving yards. He had 88 yards of offense with a touchdown, and for the second straight game he managed to pin a team at their own 2 with a perfect coffincorner punt.

Durbin added to his scoring numbers, catching two balls for 29 yards and a TD, bringing his season total to eight.

G-P surrendered 208 rushing yards to Unicoi County, but those numbers are a bit deceiving. The Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gibson led all players with 178 yards on 16 carries, but he had been limited to just 44 yards on 13 attempts against the Blueand-Gold starters. Gibson exploded in the second half of the third quarter with 134 yards on just three carries

The Tigers began the game kicking off to the Grizzlies, but just a few moments in junior linebacker Cody Davis forced a Grainger fumble and recovered it deep in their territory.

Several plays later Black scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first TD with a five-yard plunge up the middle.

The point-after kick was blocked, however, leaving the score at 6-0 PFHS. Not to be outdone, the Grainger squad answered.

Using an eight plays to mark 69 yards with runs from Tyler Bowser, Hunter Harp and quarterback Jake Corum, the Grizzlies found paydirt on a six-yard Corum option keeper to tie the score at 6-6. A PAT kick later and they were on top 7-6.

After a Tiger drive stalled out and ended in a punt, Grainger was looking to add to their lead.

A 12-play drive got the Grizzlies down to the Pigeon Forge 30, but the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense stiffened, and on a 4th-and-10 option play Davis forced another fumble, that was this time recovered by Barbieri.

Three plays later on 3rd-and-15 Hammonds dug deep into the playbook and called a fade route to Black.

The play worked like a charm, as Fox hit Black in stride for 77-yard gain, all the way down to the Grainger 1-yard-line.

A Chase Travis hurdle into the end zone put the Orange and Black back on top.

But the play may have left Travisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ankle black and blue.

As the celebration from the score ended,

Travis later explained on the sidelines that a defender rolled on the ankle as he came down, finishing his night.

A two-point conversion put the Tigers up seven at 14-7.

Again the Grainger team would answer, this time on a six-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a Bowser 17-yard run.

With the second quarter clock waning, the Tigers would get one last chance in the half, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make the most of it.

A pair of nice Barieri runs, followed by a pair of offsides penalties on Grainger, moved the ball into Grizzlies territory.

A 17-yard swing pass in the flats to Coello would get the ball down to the Grizzly 23 as time continued to tick away.

Finally, with just 4.8 seconds on the clock,

Hammonds faced an important decision: Chuck it into the end zone and hope for the best, or give Coello a kick from 40 yards out.

The coach elected to go with the later, the Pigeon Forge soccer player turned kicking Tiger pushed the pigskin perfectly through the uprights for a Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three-point lead and a big swing in momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work our special teams every day, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tested his distance, and we thought thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about his distance,â&#x20AC;? Hammonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I believe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a little more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were obviously try-

ing to score, but we were keeping a field goal in the back of our mind, Miguel can get it. It did a good job of swinging some momentum right before halftime and I think that really helped us going into halftime.â&#x20AC;?

After half it was all Pigeon Forge.

The Tigers scored on the halfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening drive, going 70 yards on nine plays. Nice runs from Lombrana and Barbieri and a 17-yard Fox to Black pass highlighted the drive, which ended with a smooth 25-yard dash for Lombrana into the end zone.

The extra point put the score at 24-14.

The final icing on the cake came a few possessions later as Fox scored the final touchdown on a six-yard bootleg. His score was setup by a nice first down 17-yard pass play to tight end Eric Pildner.

Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, though limited, was surprisingly effective on the night.

He finished the game 4-of-6 for 114 yards.

against the second teamers, accounting for the majority of the Unicoi County offensive numbers.

G-P junior Hunter Meier added a first-quarter interception with a 10-yard return on the Blue Devils first offensive play from scrimmage.

Highlanders senior linebacker Mahavir Patel had a fumble recovery on Unicoi Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next possession, on just the Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second play from scrimmage in the game.

Marshall not only threw two touchdowns, but he also came up with an interception and a 20-yard return with 4:17 in the half while playing cornerback in the Blue-and-Gold secondary.

On the ensuing play from scrimmage, he connected with Hibbard for the long score.

Durbin also intercepted Unicoi County junior QB Austin Hensley with 7:56 in the third quarter, returning the pick 21 yards.

G-P sophomore Casey Green recovered a Blue Devils fumble with 1:11 in the third quarter, giving the Highlanders possession at their own 48, and sophomore Justin Horner recovered another Unicoi County fumble with 38 seconds in regulation.

The Highlanders (0-1 in District 3-AA) next travel to District 3-AA rival Union County (1-4 overall, 1-0 in District 3-AA), who defeated Knoxville Carter 36-28 on Sept. 3. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cory hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced all week,â&#x20AC;? Hammonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came in today and tested him a little bit taking some snaps, and he felt OK. Shane Sharp, our backup quarterback, did an excellent job all week getting ready, and up until the last minute we were planning on going with Shane. But Cory was able to come in.â&#x20AC;?

Kaleb Black finished the game with 120 allpurpose yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kaleb played well. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a playmaker,â&#x20AC;? Hammonds said of the sophomore receiver/back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got him two more years.â&#x20AC;?

The coach was also complimentary of linebacker Cody Davis, who forced two fumbled and had several tackles for loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Codyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) been playing really well these last two weeks,â&#x20AC;? Hammonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a banged up knee from preseason and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really 100 percent.

But by golly, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good leader and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just proud he came back out for football this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some good leaders on this team that are doing some good things for us. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really stepped up these last couple of weeks, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch him.â&#x20AC;?

Barbieri and Lombrana each rushed for 60 yards in the win.

Memory of UAB loss haunts coach Dooley

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer KNOXVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Derek Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last meeting with UAB still haunts him.

It was Sept. 23, 2000, and Dooley was the recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach at LSU. The Nick Saban-led Tigers committed six turnovers, and UAB kicked a field goal as time expired to beat the Nick Saban-led Tigers 13-10 on homecoming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I remember like it was yesterday,â&#x20AC;? said Dooley, now the coach at Tennessee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some skill guys, but it was the turnovers that got us. ...

They can beat us even without their best (effort), and we have to worry about us improving and minimizing the mistakes or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be real disappointed after the game.â&#x20AC;?

The Vols (1-2) enter Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Blazers with backto-back losses to Top 10 opponents by a combined 49 points. UAB (1-2) just served up its largest comeback in program history, a 34-33 win over Troy after erasing a 23-point deficit.

Tennessee senior linebacker Nick Reveiz wraps up Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Demps during last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.

Williams with a minute remaining capped UABâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-winning 99-yard drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great win for our guys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that we needed,â&#x20AC;? UAB coach Neil Callaway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It showed the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class and guts to grind that game out and compete for the whole sixty minutes, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of them for that and for the way they competed until the very end.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of resiliency Dooley has been searching for from his players.

The Vols fell apart after Matt Simms threw an interception in their loss to Oregon, and two turnovers kept them from being competitive in the second half against Florida.

The difference in the two teams is experience.

Callaway inherited a struggling UAB team low on experience, and the Blazers have gone from winning just two games in 2007, his first year as coach, to winning five games last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know their two coordinators and their head

coach very well, and I have a lot of respect for them,â&#x20AC;?

Dooley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re four years into their program.

This is what you see your fourth year: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a deep team, they have 17 starters returning and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played in these kind of games so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be starryeyed.â&#x20AC;?

The Blazers had just 63 scholarship players in 2007, a situation Dooley can commiserate with now.

The Vols have 76 scholarship players after awarding

a few to walk-on players at the begging of the season.

Several starters are out with injuries, leaving a thin offensive line thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggled to both protect Simms and open holes for running backs Tauren Poole and David Oku and an undersized defensive line that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing game.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bode well for facing Ellis, who came off the bench against Troy after starter David Isabelle struggled. Ellis completed 23 of 37 for 360 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did poorly on pass rush, and we have to put that on our backs as a d-line

as a whole,â&#x20AC;? Tennessee defensive end Gerald Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to work together better as a unit and get to the quarterback.â&#x20AC;?

The Vols could use any sort of momentum heading into a nasty stretch of schedule that includes games at No. 15 LSU and Georgia, a visit by No. 1 Alabama and a trip to No. 12 South Carolina in the month of October.

The Blazers are especially confident coming off their Troy win and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the motivation they needed to compete at the 102,455-seat Neyland Stadium. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the first visit for all of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the juniors and seniors were around for UABâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last trip to Knoxville, when Tennessee won 35-3 in coach Phillip Fulmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a highly emotional game,â&#x20AC;?

Blazers linebacker Keon Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morale is up and I think we have a chance. After our miraculous finish against Troy, the guys have more confidence in themselves and I think we are going to see a lot of guys do a lot of things we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem them do in the past.â&#x20AC;?

Advice

Children tired of hearing father constantly complain

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: Our dad is in his 80s. In the past few years, he has become the poster child for whining. My siblings and I have gently brought this to his attention, but he insists it is not whining, it’s commentary.

We call every day and visit once a week. It has become a running joke to see how long it will take before he complains. It starts with “I didn’t sleep well” or “My stomach is upset” or “I’m so tired.”

I appreciate that senior citizens have aches and pains, but to listen to him, you’d think those were the only words in his vocabulary.

We take healthy meals to his house, along with fruits and vegetables. He still grumbles about not eating. He does have a few medical issues, but they are acceptable for someone his age. I think he is depressed, but heaven forbid he get counseling. To him, that is a sign of weakness. We have tried to get him involved in community activities and take him to church, but he has no interest. It is much easier for him to play the victim. We love him dearly, but he is trying our patience.

Suggestions? -- Worried About Dad Dear Worried: Some people complain because it garners them attention, and you could be right that Dad is depressed.

It’s also possible he has medical issues that he hasn’t discussed with his doctor. Instead of bringing him meals, take him out for dinner so you can see what he is actually eating. Inadequate nutrition and dehydration can be serious. Ask if you can

accompany him to his next doctor’s appointment, where you can alert the doctor to what is going on. If Dad isn’t seeing a geriatrician, consider asking his doctor for a referral.

Dear Annie: I raised my three children on my own after my wife died unexpectedly many years ago. The youngest, now 30, has Down syndrome and for a time, had severe health concerns. I took an early retirement to be with her. Today, fortunately, she is fine. The problem is, if I attempt to do anything -- apply for a new job, date, take a class -- my extended family disapproves. I was even criticized by family members for being late setting up the air conditioner in the summer.

Of course, when my daughter was sick, few of these people came around. Any advice?

Or should I just ignore them? -- At Wits’ End in Connecticut Dear Connecticut: Ignore them. They have no business interfering in your decisions or judging what you choose to do with your life. Say, “Thank you for your opinion,” and then do whatever you think best.

Dear Annie: I feel compelled to write to “Heartbroken in Michigan,” whose boyfriend shows signs of being an abuser.

In my teens, I dated a guy who treated me the

same way. I didn’t listen to my parents when they told me to leave him. I thought I knew everything at age 16. Years later, I continue to live with the aftershock of being beaten, controlled and stalked. He never hit my face because then people would know. I loved him, but he was not worth my life and selfesteem.

I only found the strength to leave after 14 years, when I met the man who is now my fiance. I want to tell her: He doesn’t love you and will not change, and it is not your fault. Love is acceptance, not control. Talk to your mom, aunt, a friend’s mom, anyone, and build a network of people who care about and love you.

Go to loveisrespect.org (National Teen Dating Abuse Help). I turned my story into a positive by speaking to young women at my former high school. -- Understands in the Northeast Dear Understands: Thank you for sharing your story. We hope others in similar situations will find the same strength.

A win by any one of them would fill a void. All 17 women now in the Senate, including four Republicans, support relatively broad AP Photo/Jae C. Hong abortion rights.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If anyone is scorned as much as Democrats these days, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republicans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the party that may recapture the House and perhaps the Senate in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections.

Yet Democrats trying to exploit the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpopularity in hopes of hanging onto control of Congress face a problem: People who dislike Democrats seem ready to vote in greater numbers than those with little use for Republicans.

In an Associated Press-GfK Poll this month, 60 percent disapprove of the job congressional Democrats are doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yet 68 percent frown on how Republicans are performing. While 59 percent are unhappy with how Democrats are handling the economy, 64 percent are upset by the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top issue. Just over half have unfavorable views of each party.

Most say President Barack Obama isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperating enough on the economy; yet even more accuse Republicans of the same thing. Former President George W. Bush and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only two Republicans the AP-GfK Poll tested â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are both viewed negatively by more than half in the survey, worse than Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks. And people overwhelmingly fault Bush more than Obama for the recession.

Emile Wery, 66, a military retiree in Pahoa, Hawaii, rated both parties unfavorably in the poll. He says Democrats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing enough to create jobs and Republicans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being constructive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing anything to mitigate the problems we have, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in their best interests to make Democrats look bad,â&#x20AC;? Wery said of the GOP. Hoping to burnish their image, House Republicans unfurled a campaign document Thursday proposing tax and spending cuts and other broad suggestions for reviving the economy.

Democrats have been on the offensive, too, warning that a GOP-run Congress would return the country to the days of government shutdowns and attempts to privatize Social Security.

Despite the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weak report card, registered voters divide evenly over which partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional candidate they support. That expands to a slight Republican edge among likely voters, reflecting a deeper interest that GOP supporters express in the Nov. 2 elections.
