The Dam Store likes the name game By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Ever since Ned and Betty Lyons bought a little Sevierville shop in March 1999 — and renamed it “The Dam Store” — locals and tourists just can’t seem to get enough. “People come from all over the place wanting T-shirts,” Ned said. “They take their pictures in front of the sign, and kids love to come in and order ‘The Dam Cheeseburger.’ That’s the only time they can say it and not get in trouble.” Located off of Douglas Dam Road near the campground, the convenience store/restaurant’s customers include a lot of campers and fishermen. “We carry a lot of staples and also a lot of stuff you can’t get anywhere else,” Ned said. “We always say that we have high quality food at gas station prices. Everything is made fresh, like our Italian pot roast. Betty really goes above and beyond with the food.” Betty, a Chicago native, met Ned in his home state of Florida before they made the move to Tennessee. Both had spent their childhoods vacationing in the Smoky Mountains. “You get up every day,

Owners Ned and Betty Lyons bought the store 11 years ago and renamed it. and you see the mountains — that’s why we’re here.” Ned had owned a similar kind of store in Sevierville (off of Highway 66) for 10 years, and Betty owned one near Pigeon Forge. But while Ned also works in real estate, Betty puts all of her time into running The Dam Store. It’s work that she’s comfortable with and good at, especially since she has worked in the environment since she was 15 years old. “I like the early hours,” said Betty, who opens the shop at 5 a.m. and usually leaves around 1 p.m. when another

employee arrives. “We also have good employees. I have one that has been with me for nearly 20 years.” That would be Mark Matthews, a Sevier County High School grad who began working for Betty right out of school at her previous store. “It’s the people,” Matthews said simply when asked why he has stayed. “We have visitors from all over, but we also see basically the same people every day. We have a big spread at Christmastime. And we used to get a lot of trickor-treaters at Halloween, but now all of our kids have grown up.”

As Matthews sits with a newspaper during his break, it seems fitting that “The Andy Griffith Show” is on the TV behind him in the dining area. And while you’re sure to run into locals from our own Mayberry, it’s also common you’ll meet someone from as far as Taiwan or Holland dining at the next booth. “You used to see stores like us in the Southeast all the time, but now they’re closing up and streamlining,” Ned said. “We seem to thrive when things are bad for everybody else.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

NASHVILLE (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike McWherter would consider annually tweaking the state’s lottery scholarships to ensure there is enough money to pay for the popular program. McWherter said in a recent interview with The Associated Press that the lottery’s main focus should be to “make scholarship money available to as broad a spectrum of kids as the fund will possibly allow.” High school graduates need either a B average or a 21 on the ACT college admissions test to qualify for the main scholarship at four-year schools. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam agreed that the lottery’s priority should remain scholarships rather than the “three or four things that have started to siphon money off.” But the Knoxville mayor said he’d be cautious about making changes in scholarship amounts or standards. “It has to be consistent,” he said. “The first thing is you have to make sure that the rules people enter under they get to finish under.” Lawmakers last increased the total annual amount to $4,000 a year in 2007. But an analysis by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission has shown that because of tuition increases, the scholarship that covered 77 percent of tuition then will now only pay for 63 percent this year. Nevertheless, McWherter said he’d consider reducing the scholarship awards if budget pressures demand it. “If funding is going to be an issue, then yes, I think you would have to scale that back to ensure that we maintain solvency in the fund,” he said. “I don’t mind if they adjust this on a yearly basis even.” Increased college enrollment and looser eligibility requirements have led to concerns that the lottery could in the future have to dip into reserves to pay for scholarships. The projected $302 million in lottery scholarship spending in the current budget year is See lottery, Page A4

Phillips sees apples as way to meet people By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor “I’m smiling,” Lara Bogart Phillips said after hearing the bell chime outside the little log cabin that serves as the store for Mountain View Orchard. The sign by the bell’s pull rope encourages visitors to ring the bell to see smiling faces. Phillips’ smiling face is usually seen this time of year at the orchard where she helps out her friends Jack and Sandi Bailey with selling apples, cider and now fresh baked goods made with the bounty of the year’s crop. A stay-athome mom, Phillips said

she enjoys a break in the routine and getting to meet all the people who come out to the orchard. Phillips is a native of Sevier County, growing up on a cattle farm in the Richardson’s Cove area, one of three children of Glenn and Veda Bogart. While her parents are both educators — he is principal of Pi Beta Pi and she is a teacher at Sevierville Intermediate — Phillips said they did not encourage their children to enter the field themselves. Before having the first of her own three children, Phillips worked as the body shop manager at Volunteer Chevrolet.

But when her oldest son Dawson was born five years ago, she said she and her husband Scott chose to make a change. “My husband and I decided it would be best for me to nurture our children at home,” she said as sat in a rocking chair on the front porch of the orchard’s store. Since then, they’ve added 4-year-old Mason and 9-month-old Grayson to the family. Yep, she’s the only female in a house filled with males. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she said. But she does appreciSee neighbor, Page A4

A gray wolf on the run near Blacktail Pond in Yellowstone National Park. Lawmakers are proposing a rewrite of the Endangered Species Act that would lift protections for wolves first enacted in 1974.

Protection for wolves targeted by lawmakers BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Two decades after the federal government spent a half-million dollars to study the reintroduction of gray wolves to the Northern Rockies, lawmakers say it’s time for Congress to step in again — this time to clamp down on the endangered animals. To do so they are proposing to bypass the Endangered Species Act and lift protections, first enacted in 1974, for today’s booming wolf population. Critics say the move would undercut one of the nation’s premiere environmental laws and allow for the unchecked killing of wolves across the West. But bitterness against the iconic predator is flaring as livestock killings increase and some big game herds dwindle. And with state efforts to knock back the predators’ expansion stalled in court, senators from Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah want to strip wolves of their endangered status by force. “When they brought wolves to Idaho, the Legislature voted against it, the governor didn’t want it and the Congressional delegation didn’t want it,� said Idaho Republican Sen. James Risch. “We didn’t want them in the first place. But we are prepared to deal with them as we see fit.� Following the reintroduction study, 66 wolves were brought from Canada to Central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. The population hit the original recovery benchmark of 300 animals a decade ago, yet they remain officially endangered. At least 1,700 wolves now roam parts of six states. Yet wildlife advocates warn the attempt to strong-arm a public hunt through Congressional action would set a dangerous precedent for other endangered species — and unravel a wolf recovery program that has cost $30 million to date. “It’s comparable to throwing an individual species off of Noah’s ark,� said Doug Honnold, a Montana attorney representing groups that won an Aug. 5 court ruling that returned wolves to the endangered list. No state has proposed getting rid of wolves entirely, despite calls to do so by individual ranchers. Montana and Idaho have plans to reduce their populations by 15 percent and about 40 percent, respectively. Those states and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appealed the August ruling last week. A final ruling could take years. There also are proposals to hold wolf hunts with the animals still listed as endangered. That idea has gotten a cool reception from federal wildlife officials. State officials say intervention by Congress may be the only viable option remaining. Environmentalists have vowed to lobby hard against several wolf bills introduced in the past two weeks. And the measures face another hurdle: Lawmakers are split along party lines over which states should be allowed to hunt wolves.

up $42 million from two years ago. Meanwhile, reserves have been tapped to help establish the state’s prekindergarten program and to create a $90 million pool to help schools improve their energy efficiency. “It’s like any huge pool of money,� McWherter said. “When politicians see a big huge pool of money they tend to want to come and nibble away at it.� McWherter said the pre-K money was a worthy expenditure because it fosters educational achievement. “If you do encourage children to enjoy education and the learning process, then that is obviously going to carry across into their higher education experience,� he said. “So I think it’s more of an investment.� Just $3 million of the $83.5 million pre-K program was funded with lottery money in the budget year that ended in June. No lottery money is budgeted for pre-K in the current spending year.

McWherter said he also wants to look at reducing the amount of money paid to lottery ticket vendors, “because it is higher than many other states with lotteries.� McWherter’s position follows a similar proposal by Memphis prosecutor Bill Gibbons, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate, who said he would fund pre-kindergarten expansion by cutting the lottery vendor payments. Retailers receive a 6.5 percent commission on lottery sales. The lottery paid out $71 million in commissions and bonuses in 2009, and a total of $357 million since it began in 2004. Haslam was president until 2003 of the familyfounded Pilot Corp. chain of truck stops, a major lottery ticket retailer. Haslam at the time didn’t rule out evaluating proposals to trim the vendor payments, but noted that it isn’t only large chains that sell tickets. Haslam said in March that he’d have to look at “how it affects independent mom-and-pop operators as well.�

Critic of Israel asks to come in

JERUSALEM (AP) — Nobel peace laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire asked Israel’s Supreme Court Sunday to allow her to enter the country, five days after the outspoken critic of Israel was detained at the airport on her way to meet Jewish and Palestinian peace activists. Maguire’s legal challenge sets the stage for a new showdown with Israel. The 66-year-old activist, who won the peace prize in 1976, has been barred from entering Israel because she took part in attempts to breach Israel’s sea blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Pakistan pledges to reopen route

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan will soon reopen a key NATO supply route into Afghanistan that it shut last week after three Pakistani troops were killed in a helicopter strike by the military alliance in a border area, officials said Sunday. Pakistan closed the Torkham border crossing in the country’s northwest on Thursday in an apparent protest over the helicopter strike. Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said, however, that the route had been closed because of public reaction in the area to the NATO strikes.

Pre-existing plan problems exposed

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s health care remake, a lifeline available right now to vulnerable people whose medical problems have made them uninsurable. But the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan started this summer isn’t living up to expectations. Enrollment lags in many parts of the country. People who could benefit may not be able to afford the premiums. Some state officials who run their own “high-risk pools” have pointed out potential problems.

Lottery Numbers

Students to face drug testing JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) — Humboldt High School has started randomly drug testing students involved in athletics following a new state law that allowed schools to randomly test students in voluntary extracurricular activities. The testing began after student athletes and parents were required sign letters allowing the testing in order to participate in athletic programs like cheerleading and football. Principal Arthur Moss told The Jackson Sun that

testing will occur every other month to give students a way to counter peer pressure and to ensure athletes are drug free. “This is to change the perception that all our athletes are on drugs,” Moss said. The first round of testing included 10 students who were randomly selected through a numbering process, he said. School officials plan to expand the program to include all extracurricular activities once a structure is in place

commentary

Roe offers his fixes to U.S. economy By PHIL ROE U.S. House member Congressional Democrats’ ineffective economic policies prove that we need to go back to the drawing board to find a solution that works. The economy and job creation still remain my top priorities, as in August our country had an unyielding 9.5 percent unemployment rate. I have three solutions that will bring us closer to economic recovery. To stimulate the economy, we need to implement tax cuts for businesses and their employees. True economic stimulus puts money back into the economy by returning more to job creators and entrepreneurs. Tax cuts will have a direct and meaningful effect. All one has to do is look at how economic growth was jumpstarted after the 2003 tax cut to dividends and capital gains — which actually increased government revenues. There is no question we need to lower taxes for people at all levels of income, from our job creators to our friends and neighbors who have fallen on hard times. Excessive regulation and taxes are a deterrent to business expansion and income. While balancing the federal budget by reducing spending, we must lower corporate and individual tax rates to promote greater savings and investment. Both the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts need to be extended permanently. The federal government should reward the entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and risk-taking that comes with starting small businesses. We must incentivize investment in existing businesses that will lead to job growth by reducing the amount of unnecessary and burdensome regulations that tend to manifest into the form of needless paperwork. One such example would be eliminating a needless paperwork requirement buried in the 2,000plus-page health care bill that will require every business that conducts more than $600 worth of activity with another business to file a 1099 form with the IRS. That is a new form every time a business crosses the threshold with a new business. I can’t think of a more bureaucratic, nonsensical requirement, and I’ve co-sponsored legislation to eliminate this job-killing regulation. I also believe we need more incentives to attract students into science and technology in order to promote innovation. This way, we are investing into our future generations, prolonging stability as a nation. As we try to spur job creation, we must have some policies that aim to position our country to compete in the global economy, and it’s clear we’ve been falling behind in these areas. To maintain the United States as the innovation leader, we must encourage this development now. In order to make these solutions a reality, I have co-sponsored H.R. 470, the Economic Recovery and Middle Class Tax Relief Act. This legislation contains a number of common-sense tax changes that will promote economic growth and overturn decades of misguided policy. Allowing our workers and families to keep more of what they earn and save, while giving entrepreneurs and smalls businesses incentives to grow, is the best way to stimulate the economy. Tax cuts, along with incentives such as tax credits for capital investment, are a vital step toward jump-starting our economy. I have tremendous hope and faith that we as a nation can work together to get our economy back on track. To get there, we need to put into action these solutions because ultimately, the prosperity of our future generations depends on it. Please feel free to contact my office if we can be of assistance to you or your family. — Roe represents the 1st Congressional District of Tennessee, which includes most of Sevier County.

Having our fill Sevier Solid Waste officials deserve praise for preserving our landfill When room at the Sevier County landfill runs out, it’s hard to know what will happen. A county of 80,000 people and 10 million or more tourists needs a convenient landfill to dispose of trash and garbage, but finding a lot of land isolated from population centers and at an affordable price may be a challenge. Getting new landfills certified also can be daunting. The goal should be to preserve our existing landfill as long as possible. To that end, Tom Leonard and officials of Sevier Solid Waste have worked hard to limit the amount of trash that goes into the landfill. They have succeeded. Leonard recently received a letter from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation saying the county has kept 86 percent of its

waste out of the landfill through various methods. That is remarkable, an achievement that should make us the envy of counties throughout the state. That’s more than triple the amount required by TDEC, and represents a commitment by the cities and the county to reduce the product that has to be buried in the landfill. “The county and the cities are all in this together and they’ve been working hard on it,” Leonard explains. “This is really good news for the county. We want to have that number up there as high as we can get it.” The compost plant, which is believed to be the largest in the nation, is chiefly responsible for the good numbers. High-tech machines break down garbage from local homes and businesses into compost that is safe for use on

farms and gardens. Around 70 percent of the county’s waste is saved from going into the landfill thanks to the compost plant. The material produced by the compost plant is sold to people for use as fertilizer. Other practices, such as recycling and the construction/demolition landfill, also save space in the Ridge Road landfill. For most people, tossing their household garbage into bags and then into their rollaway cans is all they have to do. Understanding what happens to it next is critically important. We need to hang on to our landfill for as long as possible and make good use of our resources. Tom Leonard and his staff at Sevier Solid Waste are doing just that, and deserve the gratitude of the community for that effort.

P u bli c f or u m Two distinctive groups of Christians draw comparison

Editor: Recently there have been many opinions, both in local newspapers and on the Internet, as to whether President Obama is a Christian or a Muslim. First, we must define Christian, since there are two distinctly separate groups. There is the group who are saved, or born again, who have repented of their sins and asked Jesus Christ to come into their heart as their Lord and Savior and have vowed to serve Him every day for the rest of their lives, and are assured of their eternity (1 John 5:13). People in this group are very active in Bible study, intercessory prayer, witnessing, visitation, volunteer work for the church, serving as elders or deacons, mission trips, etc. Then there is the other group.

Billy Graham once said that going into a church does not make you a Christian any more than going into a garage makes you a car. Jesus Himself said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Those in this group may say they are Christians as opposed to Jewish, or may go to church only on Sunday mornings to “clear their conscience” or for who knows why, and then live for the devil the rest of the week. Let’s look at some of Obama’s statements: 1. “I am a Christian, I am rooted in a Christian tradition. I believe there are many paths to the same place.” Oh, really? What Christian tradition promises this? There is only one path, and that is through Jesus Christ. 2. Obama has stated that he believes in “collective salvation.” He stated, “He will be saved when everyone else is saved.” What? 3. “I find it hard to believe that my God

would consign four-fifths to hell. That’s just not part of my religious make-up.” So now God is so benevolent that He would not punish man for unrepented sins? Would a true Christian add to the number of unborn babies to be murdered every year, as he did when he relaxed some of the abortion restrictions when he became president? Would a true Christian designate a month as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month as he did last June? Maybe the question to be asked should be, “Is Obama a Christian or a Christian”? Of course, some of the liberal do-gooders will quote one of the very few Bible Verses they know — “Judge not, lest you be judged.” In this case, I would refer them to John 7:24 which reads, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Dick Dierenbach Sevierville

From triumph to tragedy in one play for Vols BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — One critical lapse by Tennessee in the frantic final seconds let the 12th-ranked LSU Tigers off the hook. LSU remained unbeaten with a 16-14 victory Saturday after a Volunteers penalty for too many players on the field rescued the Tigers from a botched play as time ran out. Stevan Ridley then bulled his way into the end zone from a yard out. “It went from a cry, to a frown, to a smile, to a realiza-

tion of how you really won the game,” said linebacker Kelvin Sheppard. On the other sideline, Derek Dooley wondered whether his Vols was somehow cheated out of its rightful opportunity to substitute defensive players in response to LSU’s numerous personnel changes when officials threw the flag that extended the game. “Things happened fast and guys didn’t run off the field. The ball was snapped pretty quick-

ly, and so we lose the game,” Dooley said. “The rule is, when they run guys out on the field, we have to have adequate time to run guys off.” Dooley said an appeal would probably be futile and that his team would have to find a way to grow from the experience. “Sometimes you do everything right and things don’t go your way. All you can do is move on,” Dooley said. “We have to look ahead because we have another tough one (at Georgia) next

week. It is a hard one. I have never hurt like this before.” LSU (5-0, 3-0 SEC) was confused on third-and-goal from the 1 and allowed the clock to run nearly to zero before a mishandled snap seemingly ended the game and sent Tennessee players streaming onto the field in jubilation. The celebration was halted when officials ruled the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) had 13 defensive players on the field when the ball was snapped.

Suddenly, LSU players were fetching helmets they’d thrown on the ground in frustration. Handshakes between opponents were cut short. LSU coach Les Miles had already tossed his headset aside, cutting him off from communication with offensive coordinator Gary Crowton, while he sought out an official on the field to see what the flag was for. “I had to call a play because I had nobody to talk to,” Miles said.

Biffle victory in Kansas keeps title hopes alive KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — NASCAR’s championship race tightened considerably Sunday at Kansas Speedway, where Greg Biffle won to keep his title hopes alive and Jimmie Johnson returned to the top of the Sprint Cup leaderboard. Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, took a mediocre car and drove it to a second-place finish behind Biffle. It pushed him past Denny Hamlin in the standings, and he’s got an eight-point cushion after the third of 10 Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races. Only once since the Chase began in 2004 has the eventual champion left Kansas ranked lower than second in the standings. But this is suddenly the closest battle in Chase history, as the top seven finishers Sunday were title contenders. The field now heads next week to California with the top nine drivers separated by 101 points. That includes Biffle, who opened the day ranked ninth in the standings, 140 points behind the leader. His second win of the season cut the mark nearly in half: He moved up one spot to eighth and is just 85 points behind the leader. “Everybody asked me if we were out of it, and I said we’re going to do the best we can,” the Roush-Fenway Racing driver said. “If we win them all, we win them all.”

Kyle Busch had the worst race of all Chase drivers because of a long-running feud with non-title contender David Reutimann. Contact between the two early in the race caused Reutimann to spin, and he came back and appeared to intentionally wreck Busch with 112 laps remaining. Busch was running seventh at the time of the accident, and he dropped back to 22nd before finishing 21st. Busch was furious over his radio, demanding NASCAR take action against Reutimann. Crew chief Dave Rogers then heightened the drama by telling Busch that Reutimann’s team had demanded he retaliate against Busch. Busch took time after the race to change out of his firesuit before speaking to reporters, and he was much calmer about the incident. “Whatever. It’s just really unfortunate,” Busch said. “The guy was loose, said it on the radio, he slid up off the bottom and I got into him unintentionally and just spun him out. My fault, 100 percent. But then the retaliation? For a guy that’s in the Chase, that’s racing for something ... he’ll be here next year. He could have wrecked me in any of the first 26 races next year. That would have been fine. “It’s just hard to swallow something, a day like today, where we had a top-five car going.”

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (88) is brought down by Titans defenders Vincent Fuller, bottom, and Stanford Keglar (59) in the third quarter of their game in Nashville. Denver won, 26-20.

Broncos rally by Titans; late TD does in Tennessee NASHVILLE (AP) — The Denver Broncos are showing they can not only throw the ball but score when it matters most. Kyle Orton threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Correll Buckhalter with 1:33 left, and the Denver Broncos rallied and beat the Tennessee Titans 26-20 on Sunday. The Broncos (2-2) clinched the victory when they kicked short on the ensuing kickoff, trying to avoid rookie Marc Mariani who already had a 98-yard return for a touchdown. The Titans (2-2) let the ball bounce, and Mariani tried to jump up and catch it

only to be hit by David Bruton. Cassius Vaughn recovered, and Matt Prater kicked his fourth field goal to pad the lead. Tennessee had one last chance with 33 seconds left, but Vince Young’s third incompletion fell to the turf as time expired to overshadow a game in which Tennessee had a season-high six sacks and an interception. Denver came in with the NFL’s top passing offense, and Orton finished with 341 yards passing and two touchdowns as Denver held the ball more than 35 minutes. The Broncos,

Cox, Braves not finished just yet ATLANTA (AP) — Tim Hudson and the Atlanta Braves extended retiring manager Bobby Cox’s season for at least one game, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 8-7 on Sunday. The Braves would win the NL wild card — and get a first-round playoff matchup with San Francisco — if the Giants beats San Diego later in the day. If San Diego won, it would force a pair of tiebreakers and push the regular season until Tuesday — San Diego and San Francisco would play Monday to determine the NL West champion, then the loser would play in Atlanta the next day for the wild card. Hudson (17-9) pitched seven innings against the NL East champions and allowed four runs on only two hits — two-run homers by John Mayberry in the third and Jayson Werth in the seventh. Omar Infante and embattled infielder Brooks Conrad each had two hits and drove in two runs and Derrek Lee hit a homer for Atlanta. Cole Hamels started for the Phillies and Roy Oswalt relieved in the third. Hudson left with an 8-4 lead. The Phillies scored three runs off Jonny Venters and Billy Wagner in the eighth. After allowing an RBI single by Wilson Valdez and pinch-hitter Ben Francisco’s two-run double, Wagner struck out Raul Ibanez to end the inning, stranding runners on second and third. Wagner, who like Cox is retiring after the season, struck out Shane Victorino, Brian Schneider and Greg Dobbs in the ninth — each on called third strikes. Braves fans in the sellout crowd began chanting “Bobby! Bobby!” after the final out.

who got only two field goals on five trips inside their opponent 20 in losing to the Colts last week, scored on six of seven such trips against the NFL’s best defense in that category. The only time the Broncos didn’t score? When Jabar Gaffney couldn’t collect a low throw from Orton at the back of the end zone with 4:33 left. Gaffney atoned for that on the next drive as Orton threw deep to the receiver, and officials flagged Titans safety Chris Hope for pass interference putting the ball at the Tennessee 1.

Europe on verge of Ryder victory

Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox waves his cap to the fans after receiving a trophy to mark his 2,500 career wins before the game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. An 8-7 win extended the Braves’ season — and Cox’s career — at least one more game.

NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — Europe could only dream of a Sunday like this at the Ryder Cup. It gave Tiger Woods his worst beating ever, hit all the right shots to spur on its foot-stomping, flag-waving crowd and kept the Americans from winning a single match. Too bad this one won’t end until Monday. The Europeans already had reason to be in a festive mood amid the rain and muck of Celtic Manor. Bolstered by the sight of blue on every leaderboard, they won five matches and halved the last one when Francesco Molinari knocked in a 3-foot birdie putt and celebrated with his brother, Edoardo. That stretched their lead to 9 1/2-6 1/2. Europe needs to win only five of the 12 sin-

gles match to reclaim the gold trophy. “In my time — 20 years since I’ve been playing Ryder Cup — this is one of the greatest days for European golf we’ve ever had,” European captain Colin Montgomerie said. “To run a two-point deficit into a three-point lead was quite amazing. To stop America from winning a match, just fantastic.” Lee Westwood, Europe’s leader in the team room and on the golf course, inspired from the start. He teamed with Luke Donald to demoralize Woods and Steve Stricker, who had never lost in six previous matches. Europe was 4 up when the matches resumed, and Westwood promptly knocked in a 30-foot birdie putt to win the hole. The cheer was heard by every match on the course.

more about Michael Oher’s journey to college, but it’s a great story with enough college football to put it high on any list.� John Shinn, The Norman (Okla.) Transcript. 8) “JIM THORPE: ALL AMERICAN� — Released in 1951, Burt Lancaster plays the college football and Olympic star Thorpe, whose life after athletics unravels. Sad tale of an American hero who wasn’t properly appreciated during his lifetime. From the panel: “A window on a different time and place in college football and the country.� Ferd Lewis, Honolulu StarAdvertiser. 10) “THE JUNCTION BOYS� — Coach Bear Bryant, played by Tom Berenger, takes his first Texas A&M team to scorching Junction, Texas, for 10 days of training camp and turns his losers into winners. Note to today’s football coaches: DO NOT TRY THIS WITH YOUR TEAM. From the panel: “Wasn’t nearly as good as the book, but the scene at the reunion where Bear Bryant said he probably would have quit if he had to go through it tugged at your heart.� Shinn. 11) “KNUTE ROCKNE: ALL AMERICAN� — Pat

O’Brien played the legendary coach. Ronald Reagan played George Gipp, the star player cut down in his prime by an illness. The movie that made the phrase “Win one for the Gipper� a permanent part of college football lore. 12) “EVERYBODY’S

ALL-AMERICAN� — When Frank DeFord’s novel was turned into movie, the main character, Gavin Grey, played by Dennis Quaid, played for LSU. That mistakenly led to some thinking Grey was based on LSU Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon.

Advice

College sophomore leaves drinking behind at cost of losing friends

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I am 19 years old and a sophomore in college. I have a large circle of friends who are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Or so I thought. I have never been one to drink or party, not because I looked down on it, but simply because it wasn’t my scene. When I entered college, I made new friends who enjoyed going out and drinking every weekend. I thought I might be missing something, so I went along. After a semester of this, I realized that the partying could be fun, but I didn’t much like the way I felt after a weekend of drinking. I preferred socializing sober. About the same time, I also decided to improve my health with meticulously planned workouts and a strict diet that left no room for empty alcohol calories. I loved my new healthier lifestyle, but my friends did not. They began badgering me every weekend to drink with them and gave me a hard time if I refused to eat deep-dish pizza and onion rings. After a month or two, they began excluding me from their plans altogether. I was hurt. I never condemned them for their choices and would never preach to them. I don’t understand why I should be left out because I make different food and drink choices. I don’t want to ditch my friends entirely. It would be next to impossible to find a group of college students who don’t behave the same way, and I don’t want to live in isolation. How can I stick to my healthy lifestyle without my friends intentionally excluding

me from their social lives? -- Pennsylvania Student Dear Pennsylvania: This is not an uncommon problem. There is tremendous peer pressure to drink in college, and most people are aware of the “freshman 15” pounds that many students pack on due to the junk food and irregular eating habits. We commend you for choosing a healthier path. But even without preaching, your friends may be uncomfortable around you. You are a walking reminder of their riskier choices. Explain to them how hurt you are by the exclusion. But also look for new friends, perhaps in the gym or cafeteria or through university organizations. Dear Annie: I know a father who sexually abused his daughter for five years. I only recently discovered this when she finally went into therapy and told me what happened. He spent a month in jail and has a criminal record for public indecency. Even though this was 30 years ago, her family remains angry and shocked. The father is now 60 years old and remarried and lives with his new wife in a town a half-hour away. His new wife has grandchildren, but has no idea that he is a sex offender. I don’t know what to do. Do I let his new wife know about him? -- Dilemma Dear Dilemma: It

t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

Garfield

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith

For Better Or Worse

Tina’s Groove

would be best if your female friend were the one to inform her father’s new wife that he could be a danger to the grandchildren. And yes, the wife should know. The man’s age and the fact that it happened 30 years ago does not mean he is “cured.” Dear Annie: I question your advice to “Upset in Ohio,” whose husband’s brother left his wife for another woman. She wondered whether they should attend the brother-in-law’s wedding. You told her to go, but not to stay too long. I think it’s far better to risk alienating him than his ex-wife and daughter. “Upset” should tell her brother-in-law that they have plans that day and then take the ex-wife and daughter to dinner and a movie. -- M.C. Dear M.C.: We understand the desire to forcefully show disapproval, but we don’t think it is wise to alienate a brother-in-law when “Upset” and her husband say they wish to maintain a relationship with him. Staying for the ceremony but not the reception will send the same message without being as offensive.
