PIGEON FORGE — As federal money that will help build a second fire station heads to Pigeon Forge, city leaders are set to look at modifying the plans for a new truck in the works for the Fire Department when they meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday in City Hall. On the agenda for that session of the City Commission is consid-
eration of a request that the truck order with 4 Guys Inc. be revised to include some changes Chief Tony Watson says will “ultimately enhance firefighter safety.” Those edits include adding power outlets to an EMS compartment on the truck, putting siren speakers under the truck’s front bumper, changing how some of the storage in the back of the vehicle is arranged and installing two additional compartments to
each side of the crew exits. The total cost for all the changes is $4,356, according to a quote from 4 Guys General Manager Mark Albright. In a memo to city officials, Watson wrote the changes will allow the department to use equipment it currently owns, and will make Engine 21 easier and safer to use for firefighters. Also on the agenda for Monday’s session:
n Purchase of three in-car cameras on a state contract for the Police Department n A bid on the inspection and cleaning-out of water storage tanks n Reappointment of three members to the Citizens Tourism Advisory Board and three new appointments to that group to fill vacancies. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

The trio slogged through shaggy grass in the park early Saturday morning, the bottoms of their pants legs carrying with them dew and the remnants of a Friday evening rain shower. As they picked their way through a drainage ditch, they found everything from cups to an abandoned baseball, as well as plenty of what may well be the most prevalent litter item across the state. “What have we found lots of?” Zamora asked the children. “Cigarette butts, right? They’re everywhere.” The three were part of a wider effort that included seven organized sites and countless others around
GATLINBURG — The East Tennessee Historical Society and Anna Porter Public Library will host a viewing of Dr. Robert Thomas and Evelyn Bishop documentaries, along with other local award-winning National History Day projects, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the library. “The historical society wanted to make sure the winners were recognized in their hometown, and for the public to see these projects that are relevant to the community,” said Lisa N. Oakley, the society’s curator of education. “It’s something the students should really be proud of.” Elijah Gray, a homeschooled student, and Hannah Clevenger, now a sophomore at GatlinburgPittman High School, experienced great success at National History Day in June at the University of Maryland. Elijah’s documentary, “Dr. Robert F. Thomas: The Great Smoky Mountains Horseback Healer of Body and Soul,” won second place, and Hannah’s film “Evelyn Bishop: Crafting a Legacy in the Tennessee Mountains,” placed seventh. Exhibit boards from other local students that placed at the district or state level will also be available for viewing at the library.

SEVIERVILLE — No amount of rain was going to keep Cheryl Zamora from doing her part to help make Sevier County a little more beautiful. “I told my students I would be out here rain or shine,” the Cattletsburg Elementary sixth-grade teacher said as she wrangled trash out of a ditch at Sevierville City Park. Apparently, at least a couple of her students were willing to make the same commitment to being part of the annual Roads and Rivers Day, a countywide litter cleanup effort put on by Keep Sevier Beautiful. Sixth-graders Marcus Rodante and Adriana Harmon picked up their trash bags and grabbers, and fol-
lowed Zamora on the mission to make their community a better place. “I came because I want to help the environment,” Harmon said. That dedication to doing one’s part for the earth is something Zamora said she strives to teach her students, not only in the classroom but through the school’s new 4-H program. “I told them I can remember how in the 1960s we were all taking about stopping pollution and saving the earth, and here we are four decades later and where are we? You might say we’re worse off than we were,” Zamora said. “I tell them it’s important to protect the earth because that’s their future.” The message seems to be sinking in. “I want to clean up the park and

Workers from Shabby’s Coffee & Tea House Café provide tasty offerings at the 12th annual Taste of Autumn.
GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg Convention Center almost surely could lay claim to the title “world’s longest buffet,” as two walls of the largest room in that facility were flanked by some culinary offerings. This year’s Taste of Autumn, an event put on by the city of Gatlinburg to benefit United Way of Sevier County, brought hundreds of people out to sample the products of 19 restaurants and food vendors. The evening, which included live entertainment and an auction, raised more than $8,000 for United Way, that in turn will provide funding to 26 agencies serving local people.

Med students get museum tours JOHNSON CITY (AP) — First-year medical students at East Tennessee State University are now getting tours of a museum as part of the curriculum. The museum at Mountain Home, housed in Building 34 at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, is home to a collection of medical and military artifacts dating back to the early 20th century. “We talk to them about history and talk to them about professionalism,” said Dr. T.T.
“Sam” Knight, president of the museum’s board of directors. “We want them to come away with an impression of the culture of medicine.” Most academic disciplines fall under the category of either humanities or science, but medicine is both, Knight said. He believes learning about the history of medicine gives students a better understanding of the human aspect of the profession. “Technology dehumanizes some things in the

profession,” he told the Johnson City Press. “Not intentionally, but it just happens that way.” The museum’s artifacts represent not just a more primitive era in technology, but a different way of thinking about medicine. “The true science in medicine is a 20th century development,” Knight said. “Anything prior to that time was about what you believed rather than what you could prove.” In one corner of the museum is a re-creation of the complete office of

Many don’t show up for jury duty
Many people are failing to show up for jury duty in Hamilton County despite tougher laws that allow those who don’t comply to be fined or even arrested. Professionals such as doctors and lawyers were once automatically exempt or required to perform only limited service. That is no longer the case, and numerous other excuses are no longer allowed.

Not only did he deliver babies and take out appendixes, but from the looks of that table there, he pulled teeth. Those are dental forceps,” Dr. Calvin Morgan, vice president of the museum’s board of directors, said as he pointed to a tray of shiny tools.

commentary
Aspiring writers must stick to it
I enjoy writing — this column, my first novel, my second novel, and short stories that I enter in contests. I’m still writing my second novel which I will finish within the next month. It’s such a process, though; not as easy as one would imagine. I’ve heard and talked to people who have said that they would love to write a book, but did not know where to start. Well, I tell them to start with page one and when you finish that, go to page two. Actually, the writing is easy. It’s the publishing process that is hard. I believe that everyone has a book in them. Why wouldn’t they? Those who read a lot have more of an inclination to write. As a matter of fact, if you want to be a writer, you have to read as much as you can — and write. Simply watching a movie about a book is really not good enough. When I was a small child, my mother would read to me. I would bring her the comic pages of the newspaper and ask her to read them to me. I wore her out. Eventually, I was able to read on my own and visited the library as much as I could. A library is one of the most neglected schools. In there is everything and everywhere you want to go. Your imagination will come alive. When I was able to check out books on my own, I frequently was told by the librarian that I had to put some of those books back. “That’s too many,” she would say. The older you got, though, the more they trusted you with multiple book rentals. I grew up in the inner city and had to go to the main library, which was enormous. Only the suburbs had satellite branches. I’ve taken the advice of some of the biggest writers in the country on perfecting writing skills. One person who you might know is Stephen King. I’m not so much into his genre, but he did write a book on the subject of writing. What I gleaned from this book was how to approach the whole subject. You take on the role of archaeologist in this exercise by knowing that your book is already written. What you must do is uncover it bit by bit, just like scientists who dig up bones. Under that soil is a complete dinosaur; you can’t see it yet, but it’s there. So is your story. Start with the first page. Surely you have some ideas on what you want to say, what you want to tell others. Take you brush and slowly start removing the dust and dirt, and your dinosaur (book) will appear. Another writer I admire more than any other is Nicholas Sparks. I don’t write in his style, but he inspires me more than any other. I’m sure you’re familiar with his works since some of his novels have been made into movies: “Message In A Bottle,” “The Notebook,” “The Rescue” and “Nights In Rodanthe.” I spent a week in Rodanthe on the beach back in 2002 and had a great time myself. His books and characters remind me of people I have known and currently know. To the person who lent me “The Rescue”: I still have it. So many people have asked me about how I write and why and how they can get started writing their first novel. The main part about writing is convincing yourself that you can do it. Don’t let others decide that you’re not good enough. Write for yourself and let the rest of it all fall into place. I hope I have helped. When I saw Nicholas Sparks on Sept. 9 to get his newest book autographed, he told me that you should never give up or lose hope. His first two books were never published. Someone thought that they weren’t good enough. Stephen King missed it with his first five novels — again, not good enough. But look what happened on his sixth one. The rest is history. — Dan M.

Editorial
Headed to hall Braves’ Bobby Cox will retire after next season as one of game’s giants As a player, Bobby Cox was an average-fielding third baseman, appearing in 220 games for bad New York Yankees teams in the late 1960s and holding a career batting average of .225. He had all of nine home runs, 58 runs batted in and three stolen bases while striking one out of every five times he went to the plate. Six summers from now, that same Bobby Cox will almost certainly be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame — a destination such luminaries as Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa may not reach. For all his mediocrity as a player, Cox belongs on the Mount Rushmore of baseball managers. He ranks up there with Connie Mack, John J. McGraw and Tony LaRussa. In his brilliant career, Cox has compiled more wins than did Walter Alston, Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre and even the great Casey Stengel. Last week Cox, amid much speculation, announced that he had accepted a one-year extension to manage the Atlanta Braves, but that he would retire
at the end of the 2010 season and become a consultant to the team he has managed since 1990. It’s a day that fans in Braves Nation — of which Sevier County can certainly be counted as a part considering its proximity to Atlanta — knew had to happen, but hoped it would be later rather than sooner. With Ted Turner controlling the purse strings, John Schuerholz calling in the shots in front office and Cox running the game in the dugout, the Braves rose from a long streak of apathy to earn 14 straight postseason berths, including five divisional titles from 1991 through 2005. Not even those who managed the Yankees — the Standard Oil of major league baseball — can lay claim to that distinction. That Atlanta won only World Series title (in 1995 against Cleveland) in that stretch is disappointing. Fans have reckoned that with a pitching staff anchored by future Hall-of-Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, that simply was unacceptable. There are two caveats: First, Atlanta never had
the dominant closer, such as Mariano Rivera, other teams had. Second, to win a World Series in this era, a team must survive three rounds instead of one. Over the years, Braves fans came to see Cox — who turned 68 in May and whose gait has slowed considerably — as a wise, old, soft-spoken grandfatherly figure. Never doubt — not that we claim to be experts but what the record continues to clearly show — the competitive spirit continues to burn hotly inside Cox. He has been ejected from a record 150 games during his career and shows no signs of slowing down. After a couple of down years, the Braves appear to be close to returning to the top of the National League’s East Division with a mixture of talented veteran and young players. The team will likely finish with close to 90 wins this season. Adding a key player or two this offseason could return Atlanta to the top. It would be absolutely perfect if the Braves could put a Hollywood ending on Bobby Cox’ Hall-of-Fame career by sending him out with his second world championship.

other views: the tennessean, nashville
State shows it’s not easy being green Tennesseans who want to see environmental “green” and those who want to see monetary “green” are learning just how difficult it can be to obtain either, or both. Consider the state’s pursuit of solar power as a signature Tennessee green industry and its hopes to acquire a 1,700-acre “megasite” tract in Haywood County that could lure a large company — possibly a clean-energy provider — that would in turn give jobs to lots of Tennesseans amid a struggling economy. With one solar-panel manufacturer already in Memphis and a solar-semiconductor plant under construction in Clarksville, Gov.
Phil Bredesen looks to make Tennessee a base for solar by establishing a solar research institute at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and a 5-megawatt-generating solar “farm” on 20 acres next to the megasite. The solar farm was part of the same site, but it was separated to satisfy guidelines for $62 million in federal stimulus funds for the solar farm and the institute. ... To acquire the land for the megasite, the state needs $40 million, a daunting sum when the state is running a deficit. That money is being held up by the State Building Commission, which
wants to further scrutinize the plan before handing it over. ... The megasite lies only a few miles from the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge, and creeks near the site connect to the Hatchie River, a tributary of the Mississippi. With the only environmental analysis so far being paid for by officials who want to develop the site, some local residents along with environmental groups are worried about the possible impact of megasite waste treatment on that ecosystem. Haywood County officials say they have a plan to divert and treat waste away from the Hatchie area. ...
Tennessee economic development officials did an outstanding job in convincing federal Department of Energy officials that the solar farm fits as part of an economic-stimulus strategy. To have similar success on the megasite, they must convince Tennesseans that the site is in the right place. They also should ensure that all regulatory requirements are satisfied before making public inducements to lure a private company. Our state needs the jobs, but our leaders must balance that against the cost to taxpayers and the need to protect our natural resources.

Tennessee limping into rough stretch By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE (AP) — Replacing a top defensive player is not exactly how Tennessee planned to prepare for the heart of its Southeastern Conference schedule. With Auburn and No. 18 Georgia looming, the Volunteers (2-2) must replace middle linebacker Nick Reveiz and restore the health of other players despite being low on depth. “We’ve got a lot of work to do and a lot of holes to fill,” coach Lane Kiffin said. “That’s why we play our freshman so much at the
beginning of when they get here because you are going to need them, especially with the depth issues that we have.” Kiffin said Reveiz, a former walk-on from Farragut who had worked his way to a scholarship and starting position, likely would miss the rest of the season after injuring his right knee in the Vols’ 34-23 win over Ohio. Tennessee entered the game without linebacker LaMarcus Thompson (back) and defensive end Wes Brown (knees). Linebacker Herman Lathers left the game after suffering a concussion and defensive end Chris Walker left with a sore
back. They’re injuries the Vols can hardly afford. The defense, now ranked eighth in the Football Bowl Subdivision, has helped keep Tennessee competitive even when the offense is struggling. “We looked like a different defense than what you’re used to seeing,” Kiffin said. “We’ve got to make plays, it doesn’t matter who’s in there. There’s no excuses. We’ve got to play better.” That also applies to the offense. Kiffin tried to give the woeful Tennessee passing game a chance to improve against the Bobcats (2-2).

Defense, Sanchez doom Titans, 24-17 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — After looking vulnerable for the first time this season, the New York Jets’ topranked defense came up big in the end. David Harris had an interception and a big sack on consecutive drives, and Mark Sanchez threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as the Jets stayed undefeated by holding on for a 24-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Sanchez became the first rookie quarterback to start a season and win in his first three games, helping the Jets to the fourth 3-0 start in franchise history. Rex Ryan also joined Al Groh (2000) as the only Jets coaches to win their first three games. New York’s defense, which allowed its first touchdowns of the season, turned up the pressure in the fourth quarter and stopped Kerry Collins, who was 0 for his last 13 as the Titans fell to 0-3. After Chris Hope picked off Sanchez, the Titans got the ball back with a chance to tie. Five plays later, Harris stepped in front of a pass intended for Alge Crumpler to squash the drive. The Jets couldn’t put it away, though, going four-and-out after a holding penalty. But, the defense — and another loud Meadowlands crowd — was there again to bail out New York. After a 12-yard run by Chris Johnson and an incompletion, the Titans had a false start. Harris then sacked Collins for an 8-yard loss to push Tennessee back to its 33. Collins then misfired on his last two pass attempts to seal it for the Jets. Sanchez finished 17 of 30 for 171 yards and TD tosses to Jerricho Cotchery and Ben Hartsock. Collins was 15 of 37 for 170 yards and a touchdown, but threw two interceptions. Johnson had 97 yards on 22 carries a week after he set a career high with 197 yards rushing. AP Photo/Tim Larsen New York took the lead after Ryan Mouton muffed a punt and the ball was recovered by Larry Izzo. Four plays later, Tennessee Titans running back LenDale White (25) runs past New Sanchez found Cotchery in the front of the end zone for a York Jets linebacker Vernon Gholston (50) for a touchdown during the second quarter of their game Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. 6-yard touchdown that gave New York a 21-17 lead.

Phil Mickelson chips to the sixth hole during the final round of The Tour Championship golf tournament at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
ATLANTA (AP) — Golf’s two biggest stars shared the stage at East Lake with trophies that were meaningful in vastly different ways. Phil Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally from four shots behind Sunday, closing with a 5-under 65 to win the Tour Championship for his first victory since his wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer. Tiger Woods finished off another big year by winning the FedEx Cup for the second time in three years to collect the $10 million bonus. His hopes of winning the Tour Championship ended when he failed to make a birdie until the 15th hole, closing with a 70. It was dramatic end to the FedEx Cup, with three players having a chance at the big prize on the back nine. Mickelson made sure the Tour Championship was his all along, shooting 31 on the front nine and playing without a bogey.
Johnson winner at Dover; Martin in second place DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson swept the season races at Dover International Speedway to accelerate his bid for a fourth straight Sprint Cup title. Johnson cut Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin’s points lead Sunday with the victory — his fourth of the year — in the second of 10 races in the Chase for the championship. No winner of the second Dover race has ever gone on to win the Cup championship. If any driver can reverse that trend, it’s Johnson. Much as he did in May, Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet was out in front for the majority of the race. Chase drivers took nine of the first 11 spots. Martin followed last week’s win at New Hampshire with a second-place finish. Juan Pablo Montoya was fourth and Kurt Busch fifth. Martin, the oldest driver in Sprint Cup, has been the best one in the sport this season. He’s won more races than Tony Stewart. Has more poles than Johnson. But he didn’t win on Sunday, finishing second. Martin made his 750th Cup start, making him only the ninth driver in history to reach that mark. He was 40 wins, 253 top-five finishes and 411 top-10s in the first 749 starts. Joey Logano’s No. 20 car flipped seven times coming off the back straightaway. Logano walked away shaken but unhurt. Reed Sorenson, Martin Truex Jr. and Robby Gordon also avoided injuries even though their cars were heavily damaged. Tony Stewart, the 2002 and 2005 champion, wound up with a hole in the front end of his car and minor damage to the right rear but was able to continue without losing a lap.
Off-week timely for Tim Tebow
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow returned home Sunday, about 12 hours after sustaining a concussion during the team’s 41-7 victory at Kentucky. Tebow was released from the University Medical Center in Lexington, Ky., Sunday morning. He was held for precautionary reasons. Coach Urban Meyer spent the night in hospital with Tebow. “Tim is doing fine,” Meyer said. “His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion. Our medical and athletic training staff will continue to monitor him to determine how much rest and recovery he needs. We will have additional information and updates this week.” The top-ranked Gators (4-0) are off Saturday, then play at LSU on Oct. 10. It might be several days, maybe even longer, before Tebow’s status becomes clearer for what could be the toughest game on the defending national champions’ schedule.
Braves win 6th in row, stay in race
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Atlanta Braves scored three in the top of the 10th inning Sunday, keeping up their late-season surge and completing a sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 6-3 victory. Brian McCann drove in a run with a groundout, and pinch hitter Omar Infante followed with a two-run single as the Braves ran their winning streak to six. They’ve also won 10 in a row on the road — their longest such streak in more than five years — and are a season-high 15 games over .500 entering the final week of the season. Mike Gonzalez (5-4) picked up the win in relief for the Braves, who began the day 2 1/2 games behind Colorado in the race for the NL wild card. Rafael Soriano pitched the 10th for his 27th save. Mike MacDougal (1-1) got the loss for the Nationals, who have dropped four straight and 103 on the season, surpassing the loss total from last year’s 59-102 finish.

MEMPHIS (AP) — A billboard featuring a gay marine that was part of a campaign for National Coming Out Day next month was ripped to shreds by vandals. WMC-TV reports the Memphis billboard had pictured a gay marine and read, “I’m gay and I protected your freedom.� It was destroyed Friday night. Police have not said whether thre are suspects in custody.
Haidar Talib embraces his 4-year-old son Mustafa as he is released from U.S. military custody in Baghdad on Sunday.

The group was allegedly involved in kidnapping of five British contractors in Baghdad in 2007.
Officials: Strike on Iran unwise WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she doesn’t believe Iran can convince the U.S. and other world powers that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, putting Tehran on course for tougher economic penalties beyond the current “leaky sanctions.� Defense Secretary Robert Gates played down the effectiveness of military strikes against Iran’s newly disclosed secret uranium-enriching facility. Gates and Clinton said economic and diplomatic pressure would have a better chance of changing Iranian policies. “The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time,� he told CNN’s “State of the Union� in an interview broadcast Sunday. “The Iranians are in a very bad spot now because of this deception, in terms of all of the great powers. And there obviously is the opportunity for severe additional sanctions.� The nuclear program, which Iran claims is designed to generate electricity, is at the top of the agenda at a meeting Thursday in Geneva involving diplomats from Iran, the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. The Iranians must “present convincing evidence as to the purpose of their nuclear program. We don’t believe that they can present convincing evidence, that it’s only for peaceful purposes, but we are going to put them to the test,� Clinton told CBS’ “Face the Nation.� She told the Iranian government: “Don’t assert it, prove it. ... They can’t say anything because they’ve said that for years, but they can open their entire system to the kind of extensive investigation that the facts call for.� “If we don’t get the answers that we are expecting and the changes in behavior that we’re looking for, then we will work with our partners to move toward sanctions,� Clinton added. Tensions grew with the announcement Sunday that Iran successfully test-fired short-range missiles during military drills by the elite Revolutionary Guard. Gates emphasized China’s key role in winning additional penalties against Iran. The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, including China, would have to agree to new sanctions. The United States, Britain and France support additional economic conditions and Russia now appears favorable.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — You can leave the U.S., but it’s getting harder to leave behind baggage fees. Fees to check bags on international flights are creeping in and may be here to stay. In the past three months, all the big U.S. carriers have added $50 fees to check a second bag on flights to Europe. Delta and Continental are charging second-bag fees for flights to Latin America, too. We’ve flown this route before, with domestic bag fees. United Airlines started with a fee to check a second bag last year, and COUPON REQUIRED

other carriers followed. The wave of international bag fees got started July 1 when Delta began charging to check a second bag between the U.S. and Europe. By limiting baggage fees to domestic flights, the U.S. carriers left out a huge chunk of their traffic. More than half of Continental’s traffic this year has been international. At Delta, which started the move toward international bag fees, almost 39 percent of its traffic is international.
NEW YORK (AP) — Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist, language expert and former White House speechwriter William Safire has died. He was 79. His assistant Rosemary Shields says Safire died Sunday morning at a Maryland hospice. She says he had been diagnosed with cancer. Safire spent more than 30 years writing on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. In his “On Language� column in The New York Times Magazine and 15 books, Safire traced the origins of words and everyday phrases. As a speechwriter in the Nixon White House, Safire

these visions. Canter, along with his wife Sabrina, owns Moe’s Southwest Grill, the local incarnation of a somewhat funky chain that offers handmade foods from the taco to the quesadilla and everything Tex-Mex in between. The store is a combination of a dream, a risk and an opportunity for the Canters. Joe Canter’s story starts far from Sevierville. He was born in Charleston, S.C., but says he didn’t really have a home for the first decade of his life. The son of an Air Force man, Canter bounced around from base to base until his father died in the line of duty. “I still remember the night it happened,� Canter says. “I was spending the night at somebody’s house when we got the news. We knew something wasn’t right when he didn’t come home, of course. He was killed in a combat training mission.� Canter’s mom remarried and the family made its home in Norfolk, Va., for several years before Canter joined the Navy after going to school to be a welder. “I wanted to be an underwater welder,� he says. When he’s asked how one might do that, given that welding heat, Canter is quick with an answer that is likely true, but short of an explanation. “It’s tricky,� he says with a laugh.

FBI releases bombing tapes
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The FBI has released longsecret security tapes showing the chaos immediately after the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. The soundless recordings show people rushing from nearby buildings after the fertilizer bomb went off. They don’t show the actual explosion outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The tapes were obtained by an attorney and provided to The (Oklahoma City) Oklahoman, the newspaper reported Sunday.
New York wants tougher security
NEW YORK (AP) — The arrest last week of former coffee vendor Najibullah Zazi on charges of plotting to attack New York City gives added urgency to the city’s pleas for federal funding to deter nuclear attacks, Mayor Bloomberg and area lawmakers said Sunday. “Despite the incredible job the NYPD is doing, our city does remain a prime target for terrorists,� Bloomberg said. I was looking for a new place to eat lunch, but I thought it was a fancy, sit-down kind of place and I needed something faster.� As anyone who has visited a Moe’s can tell you, though, it’s more like a Subway for burritos. “She took me in and I loved it,� Canter says. “We made Monday our Moe’s date night because they have Moe Monday when they give a special deal on a burrito meal. That became our tradition and we continued that even when we got married.� The couple had been talking about ways they could move their retirement date back some, with Sabrina hoping to get out of work-a-day by age 55. “We had just been talking to the manager at Moe’s about the business, just out of curiosity,� Canter says. “I kind of looked at her one evening and I said, ‘I think we could do this.’ She just said, ‘No.’ But then a couple days later, she started to come around.� That’s when the welder and his horticulturist wife looked at opening a store in Bristol, but found out the area was already
under the control of another franchisee. Then, Moe’s officials offered an alternative. “They told us they were looking to open a store in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area,� Canter says. They settled on a promising new strip mall located on the Parkway behind Olive Garden. Then the recession hit. Since then, only one other store has moved into the shopping center and Moe’s has had a hard time attracting customers. “Things aren’t as good as we’d hoped, but it’s growing,� he says. “We’re getting more locals each week and most of them love it. We know if we could get people to know about Moe’s, they would like it. We’re just trying to get the word out there.� So that’s where it stands for the welder turned gourmand. He’s standing at the ready now to shout “Welcome to Moe’s,� the chain’s signature greeting. And when they do start coming, Canter has promised not to say, “I told you so.� He’ll just be glad to see them. They’re part of his dream. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

As it turned out, though his recruiters assured him he’d soon be deep in a Connecticut harbor mending nuclear submarines, the Navy decided to start contracting out its underwater welding projects. After his four-year stint in the service was up, he was gone. He headed back to Norfolk in 1996 and took up working as a civilian welder. During the same time, he made a religious decision that would, in a roundabout way, change his life. Canter began attending a messianic synagogue, a house of worship for Jews who believe Jesus is the messiah, in the interests of learning more about a religious tradition that fascinated him. He interspersed his times there with services at Norfolk’s Central Baptist Church. It was at Central that he met the woman who would become his wife. “I think I might have been teaching the Sunday school class the first time Sabrina was there,� Canter says. “We started talking there and ended up spending time together.� And that’s when Canter he gave up the bachelor life after a ceremony in that synagogue. And he had a culinary experience during his courtship of Sabrina that would direct the course of both their lives. “She wanted to take me to a place called Moe’s,� Canter says. “We drove by it every day.

Dear Annie: After being a widow for four years, I recently became engaged to “Dennis,” a wonderful man who lost his wife two years ago. They had been married 42 years. Recently, Dennis and I had a big argument over his profile still being on several singles websites. He claims I’m being paranoid by asking him to remove it. He says all e-mails from these sites go into his spam file and he deletes them. If that’s true, how come his profile says “active within the last seven days”? He also told me he doesn’t know how to delete his profile. My intuition tells me he is not ready for a commitment. I feel like a temporary stop until something better comes along. I do love this man, and he claims to love me. I have expressed my feelings on this matter several times, and he always turns the subject around. This is a matter of trust. Am I wrong? -- Confused in Freedom Dear Confused: No. It sounds as if Dennis is trying to pull the wool over your eyes to the fact that he is still out there looking. Call his bluff. Tell him if he is serious about a relationship with you, he must remove his profile from these sites within 24 hours. Then offer to delete his profile for him if he “doesn’t know how.” If he gives you a hard time, we urge you to call off the engagement. He’s not ready, and you will only be hurt. Dear Annie: My husband’s sister came from the East Coast to visit us
for three days. She was the perfect guest. She brought lovely hostess gifts, took us out to dinner and was off again before we knew it. After she left, I went into the guest room to gather the bedding to launder and found a brief note thanking us for “everything.” Included in the note was some cash. I was surprised and offended. About 10 years ago, my sister-in-law did the same thing, and I asked her to please never do that again, as her company and hostess gifts were more than appreciated. Though I’ve known this woman for 57 years and do not believe she intended anything unkind in her gift, it upset me quite a bit. Am I being too sensitive? I am about to return the money with a note admonishing her. Please advise. -- Stewing in the West Dear Stewing: Since your sister-in-law didn’t mean anything unkind, please don’t admonish her. Instead, return her money with a sweet note, telling her how much you enjoyed her visit and what a perfect guest she was. (If she sends it back, donate the money to charity in her name.) Dear Annie: Your advice to “Unsure Daughter” was right on target. She has been estranged from her alcoholic father for five years, and has now received
t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e
the message that Dad is dying and wants to make amends. As you said, “You will grieve for your father one way or the other, so you may as well give him the opportunity to atone.” Not only will she feel better before her father passes, she will be far less likely to suffer a severe and protracted period of depression after her father’s death. Those survivors who are left with unresolved conflict with, and anger toward, a deceased relative are at high risk of depression. It is normal and unavoidable to experience a period of sadness and mourning after the loss of a parent, even an estranged one. That sadness eases with time and differs greatly from the experience of those who fail to come to peace with their dying relative. -- Experienced It Dear Experienced: Thank you for expressing it so well. Dear Readers: Today is Family Day (casafamilyday.org). Studies show that children who eat dinner with their parents have a reduced risk of substance abuse. Please try to make meals a family event.
