Members of a haz-mat crew from Marion Environmental Inc. sweep and shovel the contaminated absorbent into barrels for transport. The chemical spill on the Spur Thursday affected traffic.
Chemical spill affects Spur By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — Local emergency officials and a hazardousmaterials team from Knoxville worked through much of the afternoon Thursday to contain a minor chemical spill on the Spur between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. According to Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller, about three to five gallons of sodium bisulfite were spilled on the roadway. Authorities quickly contained the liquid. One southbound lane of U.S. 441 in front of the Gatlinburg Visitors Center remained closed for much of the afternoon as the
spill was cleaned up, reopening shortly after 4 p.m. MIller said calls first came in to emergency officials shortly after noon, reporting 100 gallons of the acid had spilled out of a truck operated by Allied Universal Corp. of Ranger, Ga. “The truck apparently suffered a mechanical failure on one of the valves on the tank,” he said. “It was carrying 3,000 gallons and we initially were told there were 100 gallons lost, when we arrived on the scene we heard 20 gallons and, after surveying it, we realized it was probably actually about three to five gallons.” All the liquid was contained on the roadway and didn’t appear to

pose any threat to nearby land or the Little Pigeon River. Still, the firefighters took what Miller called “very defensive action,” pouring a material used to contain oil slicks on the area and requiring the trucker to call in Marion Environmental Inc., a haz-mat operation out of Knoxville. “They arrived and began shoveling up the absorbent we used to contain the material,” Miller said. “They will be doing some testing to make sure there isn’t a significant amount of residue on the road and it’s safe to reopen that area. It appears there’s virtually no hazard from this. It’s not See spill, Page A4
SEVIERVILLE — As they gear up for their annual Toys for Tots drive, a community effort that offers a brighter holiday season to children in need, members of the local Marine Corps League want people to remember one thing. “We’ve cleaned our house and we’re putting our best foot forward,” Commandant Sam Hassen says. “I think, if people look at it, they’ll see we’ve righted our ship. They’ll know we’re on the level.” The group has been dealing with some bad publicity in recent months after its former leader, Rick Leone, was indicted on charges he was embezzling from the organization. At least one member says he’s heard from people leery about giving as the Toys for Tots campaign nears. Last year it served more than 6,000 children across East Tennessee. Both Hassen and Toys for Tots coordinator John Linnert say they haven’t heard anything about reluctant giving. They do not expect the accusations or the rift that developed between the league and one-time commandant Leone to affect people’s contributions. “I think people understand that was an issue and we’ve resolved it,” Hassen says. “We’re trying to move forward for the children. This is all about the kids. As far as we’re concerned, it looks like all systems are go for us to serve more kids than ever this year, and we’re already See toy, Page A4

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Students applying for the Partners In Progress Scholarship Program this year may be put on hold. “Based on what we’ve seen, we don’t think we’ll have enough funds to help everyone,” said Allen Newton, Sevier County Economic Development Council executive director. “There has always been a limited amount of funds for the program, but we’ve had more applicants than we’ve ever had — there are 150-plus just from Sevier County. We’re still not finished awarding funds.” Walters State Community College joined with Sevier County in 2003 to create the PIP Scholarship Program, providing an incentive for area youth to remain in the region and become part of an educated workforce. The cities of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg help fund the program by contributing to the WSCC Foundation. “We were looking at new ways to bring in businesses, and what better way than having a trained workforce?” See program, Page A4

autopsy report has not been released publicly, but the AP obtained a copy. Jackson died at his rented Los Angeles mansion June 25 after his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, administered the anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep, court documents state. Propofol, normally a surgical anesthetic used in operating rooms, acts as a respiratory depressant and requires constant monitoring,
Murray told police he left the room to use the bathroom and phone records show he also made calls for 47 minutes around the time Jackson encountered problems. When Murray realized Jackson was unresponsive, he began frantic efforts to revive him, but Jackson never regained consciousness and was declared dead at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center. The coroner’s office announced last month
located next to the visitors center about two miles north of the city — when the spill occurred, Miller said. Sodium bisulfite is used to lower the pH levels of wastewater that comes into the plant, part of the process of cleansing that fluid before it
is discharged into the Little Pigeon River. Composed of sodium, hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur, it is a fairly innocuous compound that is often used in wine making and fruit canning. Still, firefighters were taking no chances Thursday,
Linnert says. “That’s not the case any more. We’re complying with every accounting rule that is required of us.� For now, the group is mainly in preparation mode, with work ongoing to secure major sponsors for events like the annual Toy Ride, which starts from the fairgrounds Nov. 1, and the Ruby Fox Bite of Sevier County, to be held at the beginning of December at First United Methodist Church. Additionally, plans are being made and the groundwork is being laid for what supporters hope is the effort’s best year yet. “We’re gearing up now,� Linnert says. “We’ll start putting our donation boxes out around the county about the end of October. I don’t know what effect the recession might have on us, but I think it’s going to be a great year.�

that Jackson’s death was a homicide caused by “acute propofol intoxication,� with the other sedatives listed as a contributing factor. They said the standard of care for administering propofol was not met and the recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was missing. Murray is the target of what Los Angeles police term a manslaughter investigation. The decision on criminal charges will come from the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. Murray has been interviewed twice by police. Except for a brief video posted to YouTube, Murray has not spoken publicly since Jackson’s death, and his lawyer Edward Chernoff did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday. In the video, Murray said: “I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail.� Chernoff previously has said nothing Murray gave Jackson “should have� killed him. Jackson was declared dead a little more than two hours after paramedics were called. Evidence of the desperate struggle to save the star was evident on his body. He had chest bruising and cracked ribs from CPR, and a mechanical device known as a balloon pump was inserted into his heart to try to restart it, according to the autopsy report.

QUALITY EYEWEAR AT AMAZINGLY LOW PRICES!
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson’s arms were covered with punctures, his face and neck were scarred and he had tattooed eyebrows and lips, but he wasn’t the sickly skeleton of a man portrayed by tabloids, according to his autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press. In fact, the Los Angeles County coroner’s report shows Jackson was a fairly healthy 50-year-old before he died of an overdose. His 136 pounds were in the acceptable range for a 5-foot-9 man. His heart was strong with no sign of plaque buildup. And his kidneys and most other major organs were normal. Still, Jackson had health issues: arthritis in the lower spine and some fingers, and mild plaque buildup in his leg arteries. Most serious was his lungs, which the autopsy report said were chronically inflamed and had reduced capacity that might have left him short of breath. However, according to the document, the lung condition was not serious enough to be a direct or contributing cause of death. “His overall health was fine,� said Dr. Zeev Kain, chairman of the anesthesiology department at the University of California, Irvine, who reviewed a copy of the autopsy report for the AP. “The results are within normal limits.� Kain was not involved in the autopsy.

End of Saturn line seems a done deal Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:01 PM EDT
NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content
DETROIT (AP) — For those who expected General Motors’ once-funky Saturn brand to live on with a new owner, there has been a sad twist. Saturn, once billed as a different kind of car company, appears as dead as Pontiac and Oldsmobile. At the brand’s 350 remaining dealers around the country, there were high hopes that a deal would be announced for GM to sell the brand to former race car driver and auto industry magnate Roger Penske. Instead, Penske Automotive Group Inc. announced Wednesday it is walking away from the deal, unable to find a manufacturer to make Saturn cars when GM stops producing models sometime after the end of 2011. GM then announced it would stop making Saturns and soon would close down the brand, just like it did with Oldsmobile in 2004 and soon will do with Pontiac. The day’s events mean an almost certain end to Saturn, a brand that was set up in 1990 to fight growing Japanese imports. Instead of celebrating a rebirth, the announcements sent dealers scrambling for ways to stay open and preserve about 13,000 jobs. Saturn, officially launched in 1990, featured the iconic tag-line “a different kind of car company� and people were attracted by its low-key showrooms and no-haggle pricing. GM’s hope was that Saturn, with its dentfree plastic panels, would attract younger buyers with smaller, hipper cars. It built a new plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., devoted to Saturn vehicles. Despite a cult-like following that drew thousands to annual reunions in Spring Hill, the brand never made money, although the com-
pany has never disclosed how much it invested or lost. Although GM and Penske reached a tentative agreement to sell the brand in June, the deal collapsed Wednesday after Penske was told by an unidentified manufacturer that its board had rejected a deal to make cars for the new Saturn. “It was a stunning turn of events,� said GM spokesman Tom Pyden, who added that most of the details between GM and Penske had been worked out and both sides expected to announce this week that the deal had been closed.

Health care panel to end discussion
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rejecting Republican amendments, Democrats turned back GOP efforts to cast the health care overhaul as a tax hike on the middle class Thursday, and a crucial Senate panel aimed to wrap up debate on the measure by nightfall. The outcome appeared inevitable with Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., declaring he had the votes for approval of the bill embracing President Barack Obama’s priorities of extending coverage to the uninsured and holding down spiraling medical costs.
Cheney interview public, judge says WASHINGTON (AP)
— A federal judge ruled Thursday that the FBI must publicly reveal much of its notes from an interview with former Vice President Dick Cheney during the investigation into who leaked the identity of a CIA operative. Cheney agreed to be interviewed by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald in June 2004 during the investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame’s identity after her husband publicly criticized the Bush administration. Both the Bush and Obama administrations said they wanted to keep the interview confidential.

commentary
Nobody can win in Afghanistan President Obama told us he was going to walk tall on Afghanistan. Now there are hints he might flip-flop on that one. I hope so. “I’m going to take a very deliberate process in making those decisions,” he said the other day after a couple of years of saying the battle there was a war of necessity. “There is no immediate decision pending on resources, because one of the things that I’m absolutely clear about is you have to get the strategy right and then make a determination about resources.” Necessary for what? Perhaps we needed to go there eight years ago to try to kill or capture Osama bin Laden. Who do we want to kill now and why? Pride aside, what would the killing accomplish? Is Obama afraid of being called a flipflopper for changing his mind? That didn’t seem to bother or stop Franklin Roosevelt when he ran for president declaring he would cut spending and balance the budget. In a more recent flip, it didn’t seem to bother Ronald Reagan when he cut and ran in Lebanon 25 years ago. That was in 1984, just before he was re-elected in a “Morning in a America” landslide. The timeline for getting out of Beirut went like this: Oct. 23, 1983. A truck crashed into the lobby of a four-story United States Marines barracks at the Beirut Airport, which was surrounded by the city’s Shiite Muslim slums. The driver set off the largest non-nuclear hostile explosion ever recorded by seismographs, killing 241 U.S. servicemen, including 220 Marines. At the same time, another suicide bomber killed 58 French peacekeepers. “We have vital interests in Lebanon,” said Reagan the next day. “This vicious attack will not cause the United States to weaken in its resolve. We will not be intimidated.” Feb. 25, 1984. Larry Speakes, Reagan’s press secretary issued a written statement from the president — Reagan wanted no video of this one — saying: “To take the initiative away from the terrorists ... I have asked Secretary of Defense Weinberger to present me with a plan for redeployment of the Marines from the Beirut Airport to their ships offshore.” The statement ended: “America is back. Standing Tall.” March 30, 1984. The ships sailed away. George Will, the conservative columnist, called it, “Retreating Tall.” Now even Will is calling for retreating tall and leaving the fighting to missiles and drones based outside Afghanistan. The option it seems is leaving feet first. Some would argue for nation-building. That would be nice if Afghanistan were actually a nation, rather a conglomerate of tribes sharing the same land. A third option, which I would favor, would be to pay off the warlords and corrupt “politicians” who have the guns and savvy to run the place. This is a comment from Warren Bennis, the director of the Leadership Institute at the University of Southern California: “Why do the media ... continually use terms such as ‘flip-flopping’ or ‘an about-face,’ which discredits genuine reflection and reconsideration of the past? Without that reflection we would be unable to freshly imagine future challenges and could easily become blind to the fatal mistakes of the past. What President Obama is doing now is clicking the reset key. Now he has a golden opportunity to catch a breath, to review our experiences over the past decade in Iraq, in Afghanistan and the entire roiling Mid-East. Not to do that would be a dangerous mistake because, as the saying goes, we might be doomed to repeat the past.” I hope that is what the president is doing now. He cannot win in Afghanistan because nobody can. As the saying goes: Let Afghanistan be Afghanistan. The Afghans are no threat to us unless we are a threat to them. Time for flip-flopping. FDR would. Reagan would. Yes, Obama can. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial
Look back to look ahead
Sevierville Chamber wise to spotlight 50 years of progress at annual meeting When you see the old photos and archival film, when you talk to those who have lived through it, you realize just how far Sevierville has come in the last 50 years. The Chamber of Commerce made a wise move to spotlight that halfcentury of progress during its annual banquet Tuesday night. A 40-minute professionally made video was cut into four parts and shown throughout the evening. It featured interviews with mayors from the Jimmie Temple days of the late 1950s and early 1960s right through to Bryan Atchley’s 14-year run as mayor that is still going on. There were interviews with former mayors like Robert Howard, Herbert Lawson, Roy Newman and Cliff Davis. On hand were Temple, Charlie Johnson and Gary Wade, who served their city through some of that progress and a few hard and difficult periods. Every city in this community could produce similar programs and spotlight all that has happened to them over the last 50 years. While we may attract more than 10 million visitors a
year with three of the state’s top five tourist attractions, it wasn’t always that way. As the program in Sevierville noted, Temple became mayor in 1959 when there were a couple of thousand residents, no city hall, no full-time fire department, no police station and no municipal parks. Highway 66 was no major thoroughfare. Sevierville is not only the county seat, it is the county’s largest city and its commercial hub, with Tanger Five Oaks, Walmart, Kmart, Bass Pro Shops, Belk, three supermarkets, two swimming pools, a magnificent community center, a two-story city hall and a four-lane Highway 6to get people here and on to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg if they wish. The program did point out how ideas that seem folly and unwise at the time sometimes turn out to be pretty good. Growing Sevierville beyond its borders when Temple was mayor was considered blasphemous and silly, until it was pointed out how people’s home insurance rates would tumble. Building Forks of the River Parkway
might have seemed dumb at the time, but how could we live without it today? Cities that grow and prosper do so because they have leaders with foresight, ingenuity and ideas. Sevierville has certainly had that. One man not recognized Tuesday night deserved some mention because his stamp is on much of what we consider progressive and important developments in the city. Doug Bishop died in 2008 after a long term as city administrator, but it was he who came up with the idea of the Central Business Improvement District that led to the city’s Events Center and commercial development all along Highway 66. Bishop was not universally popular, but his stamp on Sevierville cannot be denied. A chamber of commerce can be an instrument for change. It can galvanize a town’s business community into action. But it also can be the vehicle to remind people of where a city has come from, as well as where it is going. Such was the case Tuesday night at the Events Center. Job well done, Chamber.
Political view
Public forum Coverage of Seymour team looks unfair by comparison
Editor: OK, I will admit to not being the world’s greatest football fan. But I do try to keep up with the local news, reading The Mountain Press daily when I am in town. Thursday morning in the sports section I see this great 5 3/8-by-10-inch photo of the SCHS football team, spanning completely across the sports page. Then just below it another 3¼-by-4-inch photo of a SCHS player “hauling in a pass” during practice. Then there are about 14 column inches of text. The article takes up about two-thirds of the whole page.
I skimmed it, like I usually do sports page articles, then went back and read it in detail. Both the teams are local county teams. All the players are presumably local students. But, if you didn’t know different, you could almost assume from the article that the only team in the game will be SCHS. There is about half of a sentence in the third paragraph that mentions “the new District 2-AAA foe Seymour Eagles” — who just happened to defeat SCHS the last time they played. And yes, the SCHS coach expects Seymour to come in and “play us hard.” Then there is one paragraph about how the Eagles haven’t had much early success. And the rest of the article is pure SCHS.
Is Seymour even going to be dressed and on the field? You could hardly tell from the article. Maybe the reporter (or is he part of the public relations staff for SCHS) ought to try to be a little more objective in his pre-game reporting. After all, the Seymour team does come from the largest “population center” in the county. Come on, Cobey, Stan and Jana. The Mountain Press is about all we have for local news. Surely you can be a little less biased than this article indicates. Oh, and what kind of coverage will there be if Seymour should happen to win the game? G.D. “Moe” Greenwood Seymour

“But I never got to explore the school system,” she said. “Because when I was out of school, everybody else was out of school.” This trip took the educators not only to popular tourist sites, but to four schools that ranged from a rural village school to a private school similar to the one in which Maddox taught years earlier. “The village school, I guess, was my favorite,” she said. “I guess just because that’s how I think most people think of Turkey. They don’t think of Turkey being affluent, and in the city it is fairly affluent and in the country it is not so much at all.” The two-week trip was just as educational as the two years Maddox spent in Turkey — but in different ways. “About Turkey itself, I learned more in two weeks than in two years,” she said. “About the people themselves, I learned more in two years because the interaction with the Turkish people is just an unbelievably wonderful experience.” Time, she said, is not as important to the Turkish people as it is to Americans. “If you invite a Turkish person to dinner at 6, don’t put in things that will spoil until they get there because they may show up at 8,” Maddox said. “We call it Turkish time and American time, but there’s a lot to be said for Turkish time. There’s not this franticness or sense of urgency that there is about everything. If they’re going to have a conversation with you, they’re going to sit down and pull up a pillow or stool and serve you tea and act like you’re only person in their life for ever how long you want to sit there and talk. “And they’re generous to a fault,” she said, recalling how a little girl gave up her earrings to one of

their tour guides when the woman expressed her appreciation for the jewelry. “As soon as she aid I like your earrings, the little girl took them out to give them to her,” Maddox said. Sightseeing was, of course, on the agenda as well as tours of the school, providing Maddox with a chance to reacquaint herself with places she visited before and to learn about new ones. “My new favorite is Pamukkale,” she said of the unique site she passed over during her two-year stay in Turkey. “I saw pictures of it when I lived there and I thought it was a ski resort because it was white mountains. I had no idea it was from
the sodium bicarbonate deposits on the hillsides. It’s just so different from anything I’ve ever seen. The bluest water and the whitest hillsides.” In Turkish, Pamukkale means “cotton castle,” and Maddox said that is what it looks like. Scientists say that the terraces began forming some 14,000 years ago, and the activity continues today. “This experience was on par with seeing the Grand Canyon,” Maddox said. “One just cannot believe the majesty of this natural phenomena.” The summer trip still didn’t put an end to Maddox’ wanderlust. “I would like to go back
in the future,” she said. “Maybe to other countries like China.” First, she and fellow teacher Molly Hicks will take a group of students and parents this summer to Athens and the Greek islands. The rest of her summer could be used on another grant she received this year and didn’t have time to use. “They told me I could have a year’s extension and rewrite my grant proposal,” she said. “So what I think I’m going to do is write it to go this summer to Spain and Portugal and explore Roman ruins there, because I’ve never been to either one of those countries.”

Local students join KSO Youth Orchestra
English poet Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) wrote: “Life is not as idle ore — But iron dug from central gloom — And heated hot with burning fears — And dipped in baths of hissing tears — And battered with the shocks of doom — To shape and use.” This week, far from Tennyson’s Victorian England, major league baseball player Chris (“I-man”) Iannetta homered as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the Colorado Rockies to a victory over Milwaukee and move them closer to clinching a playoff berth in the National League. His home run surprised a lot of people, because the former starting catcher had been batting poorly this season and was replaced in the lineup in August by Yorvit (“Torry”) Torrealba. However, by the 11th inning, Rockies manager Jim Tracy was running out of pinch-hitter choices and opted to send Iannetta to the plate. Evidence showed he made the right choice as Iannetta delivered. The
“I-man” came close to striking out on the pitch prior to his winning blast, but the first base umpire declared Iannetta had stopped his swing in time to avoid being called out. When interviewed about losing his starting position and then stepping up to the plate as a pinch-hitter and coming through for his team, Iannetta said, “It’s tough being replaced in the lineup because you want to play. But Torry has been playing incredibly well and it’s what needed to happen. I’ve been struggling at the plate most of the year. He’s come up big the last month and won some games for us. So I understand it completely.” Iannetta continued, “But it doesn’t change your desire to want to play and to want to contribute. That’s what I’ve said this whole time I’ve been sit-
ting on the bench. I just want to contribute — and it was great to do so tonight.” His teammates were just as thrilled. Rockies star player Todd Helton said, “It’s good to see ‘I-man’ hit that home run right there. Every time he goes up to the plate, you pull for him. He’s such a good guy and he works really hard. It’s a season-changer for him.” We all can relate to Tennyson’s words and Iannetta’s situation — and many of our troubles are much greater than losing a starting position on a major league baseball team. Daily, it seems we are all faced with problems of some sort: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial. And at one time or another, we are all faced with an unexpected crisis of major proportions. The realization that problems are an integral part of our lives is what makes God’s message in Psalm 50:15 so important: “I want you to trust Me during your times of trouble, so I can rescue you, and you can give Me glory.” This realization is
also why I wrote in my Winning Thoughts book: “Move away from your past failures — Forget your past mistakes — Focus on today — That’s what winning takes — Yesterday is over — Today is important now — Work toward current goals — Concentrate on HOW!” Kudos to Chris Iannetta for hanging in there and for “keeping on keeping on.” Kudos to him for not pouting, complaining and hosting a pity-party. Kudos to him for stepping up to the plate and delivering when called upon. We can learn from such things and apply them to the game of life, a much larger stage than the game of baseball. © 2009.

Smoky Bears stay undefeated with double-OT win over determined Seymour Eagles By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer
Sevier County’s Dakota Cogdill powers over the pile for Sevier County’s second TD of the night (above). SCHS signal-caller Zach Flynn (below, left) fires a pass for a first down in second half action. Freshman kicker Jared Baxter (No. 9, below, right) is congratulated by teammate Isaac McMahan (47) after kicking the game-clinching extra point Friday night in double-overtime at Burchfield Stadium in Sevierville.
SEVIERVILLE - It looked like a Smoky Bear runaway early, but it took Sevier County until the final play to put away the hungry visiting county and district rival underdog Seymour Eagles, 24-23, in a double-overtime affair Thursday night in Sevierville. “It was just a good game,” said SCHS coach Steve Brewer, following the win. “I congratulated (Seymour) coach (Jim) Moore and a lot of their players, because I thought they played hard. “I thought our kids played hard. It was just one of those classic games that you don’t soon forget. We’re just glad to be 6-0.” Despite the disappointment of not connecting on a game-winning 26-yard field goal attempt in the first overtime, and being within one play of victory in the second OT, coach Moore said his team will take a lot of positives away from Thursday

night’s Eagle heartbreaker. “I’m very proud of the boys,” said Moore. “They played a great ball game. “Both teams played well.” Sevier County (6-0, 3-0) jumped in front 14-0 to start the contest, but Seymour (2-4, 1-2) never threw in the towel. “They never quit,” said Moore, speaking about the players on his ball club. “They haven’t all year, and that’s the way they’re going to play, and that’s the way they’re expected to play.” With the game knotted at 17-17 with 1:35 remaining in regulation, Sevier County had a shot for a potential game-winning 20-yard freshman Jared Baxter field goal. The kick sailed wide right by inches, however, allowing Seymour to run out the regulation clock for OT.

Highlanders stay Hammonds: Confidence at its highest undefeated, PF, TKA have tough matchups tonight By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
Last week all my high school picks were spot on for a change. Let’s see how things go this week.
Gatlinburg-Pittman hosts Union County The 1-4 Union County Patriots come to Gatlinburg This week to face the unbeaten Highlanders. In the Patriots’ four losses (to Claiborne, Cocke County, Cumberland Gap and Carter) they’ve been outscored 149-6. I know the Highlanders will win this game, the only question is the final score. — G-P wins 42-6.
Pigeon Forge hosts Carter Pigeon Forge is coming off their biggest point total in 16 games, having dropped 42 on a Grainger team that couldn’t stop the Tigers’ pound-it-out running game. PF’s Chase Travis went off for a school-record 343 yards in the victory,
which was a big win for the Tigers program. While I hope the win gives the team some much-needed momentum, it will be tough for them to matchup with Carter this week. The Hornets losses this season were to two good teams — Austin-East and CAK — and a much bigger one — Hardin Valley. They’re coming off a win over 5A South-Doyle. — Carter wins 27-18.
TKA hosts Sunbright This is a tough one to pick, but basing it soley on their mutual competition, I’ll have to go with Sunbright. The Tigers handled Jellico by 18 points, while TKA needed a goal-line stand to get past the 1-4 Blue Devils 19-12. — Sunbright wins 21-17
PIGEON FORGE — The Pigeon Forge Tigers’ 42-26 victory over Grainger last Friday did more for the Orange and Black than put another “W� in the team’s win column. “Our confidence level is better than it’s been all season,� Pigeon Forge coach Lee Hammonds said Thursday. “This is the best start we’ve had since ‘05, the first five football games, and the kids realize that.� That added confidence has helped the team on the practice field. “We’ve had a pretty good week of practice, and (quarterback Kaleb Black) has done an awful good job this week focusing on the passing game, he’s probably had his best week of practice throwing the football.� That’s a good thing for the Tiger team (2-3 overall, 0-2 in District 3-AA) that’s required a gargantuan effort from tailback Chase Travis — who had a staggering 343-yard
performance last week. Still the coach knows the team’s bread and butter is the running game, and they’ve continued to work on that, and other things, leading up to this week’s matchup with district-rival Carter (3-3, 1-1 in 3-AA). “There are obviously things we’ve had to work on — our special teams are not where we want them to be,� Hammonds said. “Defensively we’ve got to be a lot more sound, a lot more consistent. And offensively we’ve got to keep getting better making holes for Chase, and we’ve really got to get our play-action passing game going.� That defense will be very important if the Tigers want to stop Carter’s top two weapons — QB Dwayne Troutman and RB Shannon Meady. “Those guys are as good Jason Davis/The Mountain Press as anybody we’ve seen all Pigeon Forge QB Kaleb Black keeps for a year,� Hammonds said. Tigers’ touchdown during the team’s win over “We’ve got to do a good Grainger last week. job defensively containing those two.� Kick-off for the game is set for 7:30 p.m. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Freshman kicker Jared Baxter is interviewed by a reporter following his team’s dramatic win. handle what appeared to be an awkward-looking gameopening miss-kick, but what amounted to a long surprise onside attempt for the Smoky Bears. “I didn’t see it,� said Brewer. “But I think he missed (hitting the ball squarely on the kick). I had my back turned to the play, and when I turned around, we had the ball already.� Starting at the Eagle 40 after the turnover, Sevier County capitalized in four plays when junior Dakota Cogdill pounded it in through the 5-hole from fiveyards out. Baxter made it 7-0 Bears with the PAT kick with 10:37 in the first. Flynn connected through the air with Cogdill and senior Jeremiah Foster on the first two plays from scrimmage, setting up the score with a first down at the 12. Things kept getting worse for the Eagles when stud FB Keegan Newport left the game with 10:13 in the first quarter after taking a hit on his first rushing attempt of the game. Newport had just returned to the offensive side of the ball last week after suffering a nasty double break of a single finger during the preseason, but Thursday’s injury turned out to be a reportedly separated shoulder after the pile landed on him awkwardly. Newport did return to play. Near the end of the first quarter, Flynn connected with Gilson for a 59-yard strike down the right sideline, one play after Flynn took a punishing hit from blitzing Seymour senior LB
Cody Sands. Gilson was eventually forced out at the Seymour 19, but the play set up the second Smoky Bear score of the night. In all, the drive went 79 yards on eight plays, but the end of it didn’t come easy. Seymour forced Sevier County into a 4th-and-Goal from six inches out, but Cogdill picked up his second TD of the night by flying over the 2-hole, taking a hit while in the air at the line of scrimmage and then flipping head-over-heels into the end zone with 11:17 in the first half. Baxter’s PAT was good, making it 14-0 SCHS. Moments later, SCHS junior backup QB Danny Chastain returned a Seymour punt with a series of shifty moves down the left sideline, running it 58 yards all the way to the Eagle 16. But two consecutive Bear penalties not only wiped out what would have been Chastain to senior Bryce Whaley 18-yard TD throw, but ended up putting the Bears into a 4th-and-31 from the Seymour 38 and prevented Sevier County from doing further damage to the scoreboard. It was the first of three SCHS TD passes called back for penalties. In all, Sevier County was flagged nine times for 102 yards. The Seymour offense finally showed some signs of life late in the second quarter when Fain connected on two straight passes to Crain for 31 yards to the Sevier County 48. Newport, back in the game from the reported shoulder separation, took his
thing (Seymour) had done all first half,� said Brewer. “Seymour gained the momentum, and we had a hard time getting it back after that.� The Seymour defense forced the Bears into a threeand-out punt to start the third quarter, and then the Eagle offense went to work, driving 48 yards on seven plays for the tying score with 6:51 in the third quarter, capped by a one-yard QB sneak by Fain. Martin’s kick knotted it at 14s, and it was a new ball game. The Bears again were forced into a three-and-out punt, but Seymour junior Cory Clark fumbled the kick and Sevier County junior Tyler Wischer recovered at the Eagle 29 with 5:51 in the third. A couple plays later, Foster took a reverse left and weaved his way through some traffic for a 1st-andGoal at the Eagle 9. Two plays later from the 11, Flynn rolled right and connected with Gilson for an apparent TD with 4:07 in the third, but a holding flag on Sevier County wiped it out
and put the Bears in a 3rdand-Goal from the Seymour 23. Flynn answered on the ensuing play with a 23-yard strike deep down the left side to Whaley, who jumped over Seymour’s Chase Ketron for another apparent score. But again a yellow flag for holding negated the play, and this time Seymour’s defense held when senior Cody Watson sacked Flynn on 3rd-and-Goal from the Seymour 34, keeping the score knotted at 14s. Seymour went nowhere on the ensuing possession, and Chastain came up with another big punt return for 21 yards to the Seymour 31. A few plays later on 4thand-5 from the Seymour 26, Flynn connected with Gilson deep down the middle for a huge 1st-and-Goal from the 8. But the Eagle defense held and limited Sevier County to a 21-yard Baxter field goal with 11:05 in the fourth quarter, giving the Bears a slim three-point edge, 17-14. Seymour took the ensuing See The GAME, Page B4

ed to release a pass. The fumble was recovered by Seymour senior Nick Smith, and the Eagles assumed possession after one play with a chance to win it. Instead of sending the offense onto the field, the Eagles chose to kick for the win on first down. Senior kicker Stephen Martin missed the 26-yarder wide right, however, breathing new life into the Smoky Bear sideline. Seymour took first possession of the OT No.2 and wasted little time. The Eagles earned their first lead of the night on 2nd-and-Goal from the 9 when junior QB Dustin Fain connected with senior WR Hunter Crain, who ran a slant into the end zone from the right side. Martin missed the PAT kick wide right again, allowing an opportunity for the Bears to seize the game. The Bears did capitalize on that opportunity, but it didn’t come easily. The Eagle defense stood firm by stuffing a run and forcing two Flynn incompletions with a blistering pass rush. The Bears were down to their final play, a 4th-andGoal from the 9. Brewer called time-out to make an adjustment and ran the same play on fourth down that went for an incompletion on a pass attempt to junior WR Bryant Gilson on third down. “They were bringing a lot of pressure from the backside,� said Brewer. “It was the exact same play, but the only thing we did was take out a wideout and put a tight end in on the backside ... so that Zach wouldn’t be hurried. “We just extended the edge a little bit and ran the same play, and (Gilson) was wide open. It worked. It was do, or die. I was a real good through, a clutch catch and we had really good blocking on that play.� And the Smoky Bears sideline rushed the field in pandemonium, although several SCHS players were seen helping disappointed Seymour players off the ground and congratulating them for their wining effort that ended in defeat. It didn’t look good for the Eagles at the start of the game. Not a second had expired off the clock before Seymour committed its first of two turnovers on the night, when Seymour senior Blake Overton couldn’t
second carry of the game on a reverse left to the Smoky 40, but the drive eventually stalled after a SCHS junior Brandon Tinker sack. The Bears drove to the Seymour 17 on the ensuing possession, but a pair of personal fouls ended with a 1stand-40 situation for Sevier County. Seymour’s Crain forced a Flynn fumble on two consecutive plays, and the second time was the charm for the Eagles when Newport came up with the loose ball at the Sevier County 40 with 1:03 in the half. Four plays later, Seymour made it a game when Fain connected with junior Cory Clark on a slant from the left for a 13-yard score with just 30.7 seconds until intermission. Senior kicker Stephen Martin connected on the PAT kick, cutting the Smoky Bear lead to 14-7, the halftime score. Despite the Bears holding a 204 to 107 total-yard advantage at the half, it was just a one-score game headed into the third quarter. “That score at the end of the half was really the first

possession and kept pounding away with Newport up the gut, repeatedly churning out tough yards and moving the sticks. But then the Eagles decided to go with a pass, and Fain was sacked and stripped by Kel McCarter and Brandon Tinker. Fain recovered, but Seymour was in a tough spot with a 3rd-and-20 from the Bear 45. Fain rolled right on the next play, but nobody was open and he just threw it deep and out of bounds. But another flag against the Bears came in for roughing the passer, giving the Eagles new life with a

That’s not to say there weren’t obstacles for McCown. Thanks to some 10th grade jitters, McCown threeputted the first two holes, putting him three over par early. But McCown, with his serious on-course demeanor, calmed quickly. “He just settled down and played really well,” Ownby said. “He shot one-under the rest of that nine to shoot a one-over 37. Then on the back he was cruising along and made all pars until he got Chapter 7 •
3rd-and-7 at the SCHS 32. Overton came up huge with a 13-yard run to the right, giving the Eagles a first down at the Bear 19. On 3rd-and-10, the Eagles attempted a screen left, but McCarter leaped high and deflected the ball into the air, nearly coming down with the pick that would have gone for about a 75-yard SCHS score but ended in an incompletion. On fourth down, Martin tied it at 17-17 with a 35-yard field goal with 4:34 in the game. The Bears were limited to just 84 total yards in the second half and overtimes and finished the night with 288 total yards, compared to Seymour 213. The Bears held an 18-14 advantage on first downs. The Eagles
outrushed Sevier County 148-127 yards. Sevier County averaged 4.8 yards per offensive play, while the Eagles averaged 4.1 yards per attempt. Neither club threw an interception, and both teams fumbled four times and lost two apiece. Gilson led all players with 106 receiving yards on six catches. Flynn led the passers with a 16-of-27 performance for 220 yards and a TD. Sevier County next travels to District 2-AAA rival Morristown West next Friday night. Seymour next hosts District 2-AAA rival Morristown East next Friday night.
to 15, the par three, the hardest hole on the golf course. He hit it in the water, which led to a double-bogey.” That hole and a bogey on the par five 16th, were McCown’s only real blemishes of the day, as he rallied an birdied 18 to finish just three-over for the day. “I think he’s got a very good chance (at Region),” Ownby said. “He is a sophomore that plays at a very high level, and I guess he has more mental toughness than any sophomore I’ve ever been around as far as golf goes.” Union County’s Austin Collins, Gibbs’ Tyler Davis and Carter’s Jake
Mendenhall finished in a three-way tie for second at 78. McCown earned a spot at the Region Golf Tournament set for Monday afternoon at Three Ridges Golf Course in Knoxville. Also qualifying for the Region tournament were G-P’s Garrett Barnett and Shay Treadway. Lady Tiger golfer Hannah Dominique also qualified.

G-P wins double-header By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders volleyball team (8-8, 6-6 in District 3-AA) scored a big pair of wins Tuesday night against district foes Union and Fulton. “This is the first time we’ve kind of broken through this year and beat teams that were above us,” coach Mike Rader said. The Highlanders’ first victim was the Union Lady Patriots. After losing the first game of the match 14-25, G-P won the second game 25-18. The third game was a barn-burner as the teams played to a 23-23 tie before the host Highlanders could move ahead for the matchclinching 25-23 decision. The G-P girls then turned their attention to the Fulton Lady Falcons. Again G-P dropped the first game 20-25, but the Lady Highlanders then reeled off two straight wins (25-18, 25-15) to win the best 2-of-3 match. Coach Rader praised Lady Highlanders Ashley Lefew, Gina Espisito, Allison King and Michelle Chiponas after

Advice
Nurse against idea of moving in with parents to become caregiver
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I am a 52-year-old registered nurse. I have been widowed for seven years and happily live alone. My parents, ages 80 and 71, live in the same city, and I visit them at least once a week to help with chores. Although they could afford to hire outside help, they refuse to do so. My problem is, Mom and Dad are putting intense pressure on me to move in with them. They have made it clear that they will never go into a nursing home, and since I am a nurse, they think I should be available to them 24/7 for the rest of my life. As it is, the moment I walk in their door, I am told to do this and fix that. I will have no rest whatsoever if I am crazy enough to take them up on their “generous offer.” How can I make them see I don’t want to be their indentured servant? -- Thinking of Moving Out of State Dear Thinking: How sad that your parents have succeeded in making you dread spending time with them. While we each have a moral obligation to see that our aging parents are cared for, that does not mean you have to live with them or be at their beck and call. Put your backbone in a stiff brace, and tell them you love them, but will not be moving in with them, now or ever, and they should stop asking. Do what you can to help them out, but get a handle on how much you are willing to do before you are eaten up with resentment and your relationship becomes bitter. It will be easier if you are not afraid to tell them
when you’ve punched out for the day. Dear Annie: I recently went to a beauty school to have my hair colored and had a less than “beautifying” experience. I was greeted by so much exposed cleavage and so many facial piercings, tattoos and zebra hair colors that I thought I was at a circus. Everyone was chomping and smacking their gum like cows chewing their cud. Annie, when I enter such an establishment, I want to be inspired, not repulsed. Is it too much to ask that the student hair designers conduct themselves in a professional way with regard to their personal grooming, as well as their conduct? Should I say something? -- Longing for Customer Service Dear Longing: Most people who patronize beauty schools do so because they are less expensive. Those who object to the studentin-training vibe tend to go elsewhere. However, students should be learning how to dress and behave in a way that is appropriate for the professional environments where they hope to work, although many salons have a casual attitude about employee attire. If you can phrase it as constructive criticism, speak to whoever runs the place and see if it helps. Dear Annie: I read the letter from

“Dreamer,” whose husband is flirting with another woman. My soon-to-be ex had an emotional relationship with a woman he was singing with at our church. My husband insisted they were just friends. We had counseling and left that church. The counselor stated that even though there was no sex, my husband’s lying made it an affair. After a year of expensive sessions, my husband promised he would never stray again. But a year ago, I came home from work early because I was sick and found him having sex in our bed with this same woman. He admitted it had been going on for the past six years. We were married 20 years. I am entitled to half of his assets, including his pension. My husband did not realize this. I bet if “Dreamer’s” husband understood the financial realities, he might be more willing to save his marriage. -Single and Financially Sound in Michigan. Dear Single: Divorce laws vary according to state, but you’ve pointed out something that not all cheating spouses think about at the time. Thanks.
