County jail passes inspection
INSIDE
Faces complaints from inmates By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer
5Rivals collide at Seymour Bears and Eagles play for pride, position in IMAC standings Sports, Page A8
SEVIERVILLE —The Sevier County Jail passed its annual inspection with no significant issues this year, although it is the target of new complaints in federal court. The main jail, on Commerce Street, was inspected July 13. It was recertified Sept. 9, officials with the Tennessee Correction
Institute said. TCI is responsible for independent inspections of county detention facilities. The review process includes the option of a reinspection, where the inspectors identify issues and instruct counties to correct the issues before they return for a second inspection. If the problems aren’t addressed, it could lead to further action, including decertification of a jail. This year, the TCI inspec-
tor didn’t find any issues that called for a reinspection. The summary by inspector Bobby Bass gets right to the point: “No deficiencies found,” he wrote. “I recommend recertification for 2010.” The jail suffered overcrowding issues for several years before the county built a new, minimum security facility on Old Knoxville Highway. This year, it mostly remained under its capacity of 214 beds, according to the report. The average daily population according to county records was 201, and the
population the day of he inspection was 190. Bass only recorded three comments, and two of them noted improvements or additions at the jail. He noted the jail completed an inmate handbook and was in the process of printing the manual in English and Spanish, and that the county redesigned the medical room to accommodate a dental chair and allow for full dental care of inmates. The only problem he noted was that a central air

U.S.S. Nautilus Association. Around 91 former crew members from all over the country have gathered at the Holiday Inn in Pigeon Forge this weekend for this year’s reunion. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the decommissioning of the ship. The U.S.S. Nautilus was the first vessel to complete a submerged transit across the North Pole. It was named for the submarine in Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and was authorized in 1951; it launched in 1954. It is now home to the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, Conn., maintaining the world’s finest collection of submarine artifacts.
PIGEON FORGE — The former producer of the Temptations Revue with Nate Evans has sued the Grand Majestic Theater for $2 million, claiming the owners convinced him to bring the act to the facility but then kept the act and kicked him out in violation of a contract. SM Productions began a lease agreement in May with the Grand Majestic Theater, calling for them to have shows Monday through Saturday in the evenings and in the afternoon each Tuesday. According to the complaint, SM Productions also agreed to bring equipment for printing and selling tickets, along with a sound board, light fixtures and other items for the show. Nate Evans, a former member of the Impressions and of a splinter group of the Temptations, had

Members of the U.S.S. Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine, reunite every two years — but when they get together, it’s like no time has passed at all. “My wife is the first to point out that our stories get better and better,” laughed Rick Turner of Wears Valley, who served as a Second Class Petty Officer on the sub from 1966-1967 and now serves as reunion chairman. “We’re continually on the Internet, exchanging pictures and stories,” added Frank Holland of Ocala, Fla., who served as Petty Officer and Chief Petty Officer from 1954-1960 and is now president of the
Essay contest offers cash prizes, trip to Washington By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Sevier County students and their teachers have the opportunity to win nearly $115,000 in prize money by participating in the Bill of Rights Institute’s fifth annual “Being an American” Essay Contest. As the largest high school essay contest in the country, the competition explores the rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. Last year it attracted more than 50,000 essays and awarded 180 students and teachers with cash prizes. The Bill of Rights Institute is a nonprofit educational organization devoted to educating children about the U.S. Constitution and it founding principles. “It looks like a wonderful opportunity,” said Larry Stott, Sevier County Schools instructional supervisor for secondary education. “I’m sure we’ll have a lot of students and teachers who are interested. We need to do all we can to promote citizenship and civic values in our youth.” Participants must share their thoughts on American citizenship by answering, “What civic value do you believe is most essential to being an American?”
The top three student winners and their teachers from each of the contest’s nine geographical regions will be announced as a special Washington, D.C. Awards Gala in the spring, where they’ll be awarded cash prizes of $5,000 (first place), $1,000 (second place) and $500 (third place). They will also be able to explore the nation’s capital, meet contemporary American heroes and national leaders and visit national landmarks. Jason Ross, Bill of Rights Institute vice president of education programs, said the contest is unique in that it gives students the opportunity to think about important civic values communicated in the country’s founding documents and embodied by American civic heroes. “This context is vital to helping students see their own acts of good citizenship as a meaningful part of the American experiment of self government,” Ross said. The contest will also award 126 honorable mention prizes of $100 to seven students and their teachers from each region. The deadline for essay submissions is Dec. 1. All essays must be submitted by a high school teacher at www. BeingAnAmerican.org. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

In another complaint he claimed he was not being allowed to leave his cell and that his mail had been opened before he was allowed to see it. The second inmate, Jerry Ray Cooper, accused a guard of beating him, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally was assaulted by one Sgt. Buck (sic) without being any kind of threat to him,â&#x20AC;? He also claimed the jail was not serving enough food, and that the scarcity of food was leading to fights. Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint also mentioned some of the health concerns outlined by Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, including mold in the jail. Both inmates filed the complaints pro se, meaning they are acting as their own attorneys. McMahan said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on the lawsuits because they are still active. The county's responses to the complaints say any health issues either didn't exist or were addressed by the time the response was issued; the county denied all other allegations in the complaints.

In his initial inspection of the new facility, he found no deficiencies and recommended it for certification. The new facility has a capacity of 228 inmates. On the day of the inspection, it held 180. It average daily population was 169. Chief Deputy Larry McMahan, who oversees operations at both jails, said he was proud that both passed without need for a second inspection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old jail was built in 199,2 so we were very proud they got that on the first inspection,â&#x20AC;? he said. The air conditioning repairs mentioned in the inspection report have been completed, he said. While the jail passed its inspection with no issues, that has not stopped some inmates from filing complaints in federal courts. One inmate, Stephen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, has filed several complaints to the federal court. In the first, filed in June, he said mold

to the complaint, DDM has continued to hold the Temptations show at the Grand Majestic while collecting all the profits.

The company is asking for $2 million in damages, as well as for the court to order DDM Productions to abide by the contract.

U.S. issues apology for study WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; American scientists deliberately infected prisoners and patients in a mental hospital in Guatemala with syphilis 60 years ago, a recently unearthed experiment that prompted U.S. officials to apologize Friday and declare outrage over â&#x20AC;&#x153;such reprehensible research.â&#x20AC;? The discovery dredges up past wrongs in the name of science â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study in this country that has long dampened minority participation in medical research â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and could complicate ongoing studies overseas that depend on cooperation from some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest countries to tackle tough-to-treat diseases. Uncovering it gives â&#x20AC;&#x153;us all a chance to look at this and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even as we are appalled at what was done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to redouble our efforts to make sure something like this could never happen again,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health. The NIH-funded experiment, which ran from 1946 to 1948, was uncovered by a Wellesley College medical historian. It apparently was conducted to test if penicillin, then relatively new, could prevent some sexually transmitted infections. The study came up with no useful information and was hidden for decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health,â&#x20AC;? Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Friday.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with outgoing White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, left, as he announces his new interim Chief of Staff Pete Rouse, center, Friday in the East Room of the White House in Washington.
Economy gets lift Rahmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone: New day, new from government aid
tone for the White House By BEN FELLER AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reshaping the tone and tenor of the White House, President Barack Obama on Friday replaced the colorful and caustic Rahm Emanuel with the private Pete Rouse as his chief of staff, shifting to a new phase of his presidency with a drastically different aide as trusted gatekeeper. Emanuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to quit the White House and run for Chicago mayor had been so well known that even Obama mocked the lack of suspense. But it still felt like the most important transition to date for the Obama operation, which has been fueled for nearly two years by Emanuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands, drive and discipline. At an emotional farewell, Obama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all very excited for Rahm, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also losing an
incomparable leader of our staff.â&#x20AC;? Emanuel choked up as he said his goodbye. Into the breech steps Rouse, an Obama senior adviser known around the White House as a problem-fixing, media-shy strategist and organizer. Rouse is expected to serve as interim chief for several months and may eventually get the permanent job, as the White House is in the midst of reviewing a broader shake-up. Considered the most consuming and influential staff job in American politics, the chief of staff shapes nearly everything at the White House â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how the president spends his time, how he pursues his strategies on foreign and domestic policy, how he deals with a politically deadlocked Congress and a skeptical electorate. Distinctive, profane and combative in his approach, Emanuel was a bruising but successful manager often known
New Jersey studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suicide resonates on campus, beyond NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things will get easier; peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds will change,â&#x20AC;? Ellen DeGeneres pleads in an Internet video, staring into the camera, her voice breaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you should be alive to see it.â&#x20AC;? Just as the murder of Matthew Shepard galvanized the gay community around hate-crime legislation more than a decade ago, the suicide of a Rutgers University student whose sex life was splashed on the Internet has activists rallying around their latest cause: telling tormented gay teens they just need to hang on for a while, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live through it. Bullying and harassment of young gays and lesbians, and the suicides they have caused, have long been a major topic in gay publications and among activists. But celebrities and others have seized on Tyler Clementiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shocking suicide to call attention to the issue. Prosecutors say Clementiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate and another student used a webcam to broadcast on the Internet live images of the 18-yearold Rutgers University freshman having an intimate encounter with another man. Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge three days later. His body was identified Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To this poor kid, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to be dead than to have people know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gay,â&#x20AC;? said Jean-Marie Navetta, a spokeswoman for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therein lies the real
tragedy here.â&#x20AC;? Clementiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was part of a string of suicides last month involving youngsters who were believed to have been victims of anti-gay bullying. Fifteen-yearold Billy Lucas hanged himself in a barn in Greensburg, Ind. Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in the head in Houston. And 13-year-old Seth Walsh of Tehachapi, Calif., hanged himself
from a tree in his backyard. The outpouring of emotion over Clementiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death recalls the reaction to the killing of Shepard, a gay, 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming. He was found beaten and tied to a lonely fence post in 1998. Two men were convicted in the slaying. Several states passed hate-crime laws in the aftermath of the crime.

simply as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rahm.â&#x20AC;? The jarring contrast between the outgoing and incoming chiefs of staff was on full display as Obama spoke of both men in the grand East Room, which was packed with staff members. Emanuel waved to colleagues, whispered to his children in the first row and stood familiarly with his hands on hips, as if ready to get going. Rouse was quiet and stoic except for the occasional smile. He almost seemed to shy away into the background even as Obama lauded his skills and his results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to say that we could not have accomplished what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished without Rahmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. The president singled out Emanuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on signature health care and financial reform legislation, hugged him more than once and told his audience: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will miss him dearly.â&#x20AC;?
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A flurry of new data Friday showed the economy is improving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with temporary help from the government. Consumer spending rose in August and incomes increased by the largest amount in eight months, the Commerce Department said. Still, the income gain was propelled mostly by the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short-term extension of unemployment aid, not wage gains. A big jump in government building projects lifted construction spending in August, Commerce said in a separate report. That offset the weakest level in private construc-

tion spending in 12 years. Separately, a private trade group said manufacturing activity expanded in September for the 14th straight month, although it was the slowest pace in 10 months. And auto sales were a little better in September, thanks to the introduction of new car models and Labor Day promotions. Sales at Chrysler Group LLC and Ford Motor Co. rose slightly from August. They fell at General Motors Co. and were flat at Toyota Motor Corp. Car companies say a recovery is progressing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as strong as they had hoped following a terrible 2009.

Tennessee man charged with threat to Ohio congressman CLEVELAND (AP) — A Tennessee man was charged with threatening to burn down the home of an Ohio congressman during the health care debate. James Schmidlin, 40, of Cleveland, Tenn., was arrested Thursday night and charged with making an arson threat by phone against Democratic U.S. Rep. John Boccieri of the Canton area. The federal indictment was unsealed Friday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland, Ohio.
The threatening call was made around March 4 amid the heated congressional debate on President Barack Obama’s health care plan, according to the charges. Boccieri was one of eight Democrats who switched positions and voted for the president’s proposal. Boccieri said in a statement that it’s important that public debates in America “do not descend into acts of violence.” He said he trusted the legal system to handle the matter appropriately.
At a Friday court hearing in Chattanooga, U.S. Magistrate Bill Carter agreed to release Schmidlin on bond pending his appearance Wednesday before a federal judge in Ohio. Carter said records show Schmidlin has no prior criminal record. The judge agreed to the bond request after defense attorney Anthony Martinez said he personally knows Schmidlin, who has a master’s degree in divinity, through church activities.
Old Douglas Dam Road, between Allensville Road and Highway 66, will be closed to through traffic from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Sunday. The street will be closed because of the Robert A. Tino Smoky Mountain Homecoming event.

Fallon and Timberlake started off with Sugarhill Gang’s classic “Rapper’s Delight” and then performed jams from artists including the Beastie Boys, the Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Eminem. Fallon, 36, said he’s surprised by the success of the skit. “We never know what’s going to viral or get picked up, and this one’s beyond what we thought it would do,” he said Thursday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. Though the clip looks all fun, he said, he took the time to get it right before taking the stage.

commentary
Obama must ‘get real’ to get re-elected One of the admirable things about President Obama is that he seems to be a man of principle. He does not appear to waver under public pressure. He sticks to his guns, as the old cliche goes. But those proverbial guns may now be pointed directly at him. A few months ago, in the face of declining poll numbers for the liberal president, the debate was whether he would move toward the center like Bill Clinton did in order to mollify public opinion. Well, that question is now being answered: Obama is moving even further left. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, deputy White House spokesman Bill Burton said that Obama believes those media people who support “progressive values” provide an “invaluable service.” OK. But what exactly are the “progressive values” the president believes are so important? Depends on who you talk with, but there is some consensus. Above all, progressives believe that the federal government should have a mandate to impose “social justice.” That means the country’s resources should be shared to elevate conditions for the have-nots. Thus, high taxation to fund government-run entitlement programs are a must. And not only that. Progressives also believe that things like welfare should be granted with no strings attached. The poor must be provided with decent housing, food, health care and even spending money upon demand. Progressives also embrace unfettered immigration and abortion. Few if any restrictions should be put on those controversial situations. Also, working Americans should be guaranteed a “fair” wage and generous benefits by the government. As far as foreign policy is concerned, progressive values put peace above all. The far left generally believes that America is an aggressive bully that has exploited people all over the world for its own benefit. It is hard to ascertain just how deeply Obama embraces the progressive vision, but he certainly has not refuted much of it. He is, however, running into big problems with the massive spending his administration has imposed on the nation. In fiscal year 2009, the Obama administration spent a record-breaking $3.52 trillion, racking up a breathtaking $1.4 trillion deficit. That kind of balance sheet cannot be sustained. The truth is that most Americans couldn’t care less about progressive values, as they are locked in on their financial futures. If the United States can’t meet its fiscal obligations, every single one of us will suffer grievously. The folks are beginning to understand the danger of massive debt. So Obama has a dilemma. While he is moving to the left on his social justice agenda, the voters are clearly not following. All the polls show that. We are a generous nation; most of us want people to have good lives. But there comes a time when theory bangs up against reality. And in order to secure a second term, Obama will have to get real. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You?

Support SMARM by attending Iceland leaders know where to go for park assistance its annual ‘mercy’ banquet
Now is the time to support Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries by attending next week’s annual Streams of Mercy banquet in Pigeon Forge. SMARM is our go-to agency for people in need. The agency can provide temporary housing, utility payments, clothing and food. It can direct people to other organizations that can be more helpful. The resources of SMARM have been stretched, as requests for aid have gone up. SMARM takes no government money. It depends upon the generosity of the haves to make sure the have-nots get assistance. The banquet should be pretty cool. Pat Summitt is guest speaker. Tickets are $40, and you get a meal, music by Dr. Eric Littleton and the warm feeling of doing a small, significant part in helping those who really need the help. Plan to attend the banquet, Call SMARM at 908-3153 or by visiting the group’s Web site at www.smarm.org.
When the leaders of Iceland needed some guidance from the United States is developing a new national park, they turned to this country’s most visited national park for assistance. They have spent time in recent days with officials of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway. In 2008, the Icelandic government officially established the largest national park in all of Europe: Vatnajokull National Park. It includes Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajokull; Europe’s largest waterfall, Dettifoss; and volcanic and geological resources. But how to market all of those resources, to attract people, to preserve the natural surroundings and balance people and nature presented a challenge? The Smokies to the rescue. Yeha, the Iceland guests toured some other parks, but coming to the Smokies enriched their thinking more than any of the other stops. Right? Thanks for including Sevier County in your tour. It was a good decision.
Randy Travis shows warm side by donating items to agencies
Country singer Randy Travis is known for hits like “Too Gone Too Long,” “I Told You So” and ”Forever and Ever, Amen. He’s also known around Gatlinburg these days for his generosity and spirit of community. Travis was in Gatlinburg to perform during a religious conference. He connected with George Hawkins, special events coordinator for the city. Told of some local nonprofits and their need for funding, Travis provided signed copies of several items that can be sold during fundraising auctions. He signed T-shirts and personal memorabilia. It was a wonderful gesture for the country singer. His name on those items will produce solid return for those bidding to get them. That money in turn will be of a major assist to the agencies, especially Leadership sevier which ha sits tailgate fundraiser in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Randy. You’ve made friends here forever and ever. Amen to that.

Food bank grateful for help when shelves had grown bare
Public forum
Editor: I am so amazed at the caring and compassion of the wonderful people of Sevier County and the surrounding areas. Last week The Mountain Press published an article about the need for food at Sevier County Food Ministries, where we give groceries to an average of about 1,200 to 1,300 families a week. This article brought a flood of food donations, monetary donations, organizing of food drives, prayers and encouraging words. After Second Harvest Food Bank was unable to make its usual third-Tuesday-of-the-month delivery due to its own almost-bare shelves, and after several weeks of record-setting requests for food, The Mountain Press’s award-winning photographer Curt Habraken came and captured the gripping image or our quickly-emptying warehouse. Not long after his visit, Mountain Press
staff writer Jeff Farrell graced us with an interview that led to his article, headlined “Empty Shelves.” That article, illustrated with Curt’s graphic photograph, awakened so many good people to our need. A follow-up editorial and a news clip on WATE’s Channel 6 also helped get the word out. Caring and compassionate people called and told us they were starting a food drive; Kick ’N Country already had a food drive in progress and is receiving generous donations from Sevier County residents and workers; a high school student in Beta Club brought in a buggy full of tuna that helped us make it through Thursday; a food manager at the Kroger Store in Sevierville helped us get a discount on the remaining tuna we needed for the week, etc. We received checks in the mail, bags and boxes of food; we purchased food from our discount sources and thanks to you, the good people who cared, our cupboards are becoming less and less
bare. Although we gave food to 1,221 families this past week and had 49 new families, I feel confident we will be able to meet whatever needs arise. Like the widow who poured oil until all her collected vessels were full, we continue to fill bags according to our neighbors’ needs. The people of the great volunteer state of Tennessee have taught me that when a need arises, I need to speak up. I do not necessarily have to ask — just let people know there is a need. In whatever way they are able, kind, compassionate and caring people respond to a genuine need. Thank you to The Mountain Press, to WATE and to all you who have responded and who continue to help make sure no one in Sevier County goes hungry. For questions about making food or monetary donations, please call 428-5182. Lydia Godfrey Administrative Assistant Sevier County Food Ministries

Bears ride momentum to shutout win SCHS keeps IMAC pace with 35-0 rivalry victory over Seymour’s Eagles By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — For three straight seasons, the host team in the Sevier County/Seymour rivalry game came away victorious. That streak was put to an emphatic end Friday night as the visiting Smoky Bears (5-2) pummeled the host Eagles (1-5) 35-0 at Householder Field. The game started out slow for both squads, but an electrifying punt return touchdown from sophomore Logan McCarter and two second quarter TDs in a span of less than a minute gave the Bears all the momentum they’d need to cruise to victory. Sevier County QB Danny Chastain had three first half passing TDs, but left early in the third quarter after being shaken up on a hard hit. Add to the offensive performance the team’s smothering defense, led by stallworts Dakota Cogdill, Jake Repert,
Ronnie Homerding and Josh Johnson, and Bears dominated both sides of the ball. “We want our defense to be unrelenting, and I think that describes them right now,” Sevier County head coach Steve Brewer said. “I think if they can just keep that up for the next 12 quarters we’ll be in every ball game we play.” It took the Smoky Bears three possessions to find the scoreboard against Seymour early, but once the Purple and White found the end zone the first time, they didn’t have trouble getting back there. One three-and-out after QB Danny Chastain connected with senior receiver Bryant Gilson from 19 yards out for the first points of the game, the Smoky Bears fans were cheering again, as McCarter recorded his first varsity TD with a 65-yard punt return score.

Carter’s streak over Forge survives Tigers can’t punch it in on late goal line stand By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer STRAWBERRY PLAINS — The Knoxville Carter Green Hornets had no answer for the Pigeon Forge Tigers power run game, except in goal-to-go situations.
Three times in the second half Friday night at Hooper Eblem Field in Strawberry Plains, the Pigeon Forge Tigers failed to finish off long drives inside the Carter 10, which included drives that ended in a fumble and two turnover-on-downs, the final coming on 4th-and-Goal from the 1 with just 4.9 seconds in regulation. Sophomore quarterback Cory Fox was stuffed on that final play after having trouble with the snap and
improvising with a push up the middle. The Tigers left the field in heartbreaking 27-24 defeat, missing out on the chance for their firstever win over the Green Hornets. “I’m just very disappointed with our offensive production inside the 5-yard line all night long,” said Pigeon Forge head football coach Lee Hammonds, moments after the heartbreaking final. “It just killed us, and we do what
we do and we’ve got to do it well, and the blame’s on me because I didn’t do a good enough job keeping (Carter) off balance inside the 5. “We took the ball right down the field on every drive attacking the same areas, and we just couldn’t get it done at the end. “But I’m proud of our kids’ effort.

MAYNARDVILLE — Coach Benny Hammonds and his GatlinburgPittman Highlanders rolled into Maynardville and rained all over the Union County Patriot’s homecoming festivities, riding a 20-point first quarter to beat the Patriots 42-18. Other than a lackluster second quarter, the Highlander offense was on fire, piling up 330 yards by land and tacking on 79 by air. When Ron Durbin wasn’t reeling off big runs on his way to 129 yards on the night, Walter Barber and Dillon Reagan were pounding out punishing runs, gaining 96 and 92 yards, respectively. Coach Benny Hammonds was happy with the outcome, although he admits there is still work to be done with his team. “We started off strong with three touchdowns in the first quarter,” Hammonds said. “But the second quarter, we got kind of sloppy, and just didn’t play well.” Penalties were also an issue for the Highlanders, with several big plays called back for illegal blocking and holding calls. While the offense started and finished strong, the defense seemed to get flustered as the game progressed. After holding the Patriots to negative yards in the first quarter, the defense gave up a good drive that lead to a Union County touchdown in the second. The Patriots began to find some success in the
Ron Durbin
short and medium passing game, and scored twice in the second half. While the game was never in any doubt, coach Hammonds was frustrated with some of the missed opportunities of defense in the second half. “Second half we gave up too much yardage,” he said.” There was a little confusion on defense. On a play or two, we only played ten guys. Hopefully, we’ll get that corrected.” With the win, Gatlinburg-Pittman moves to 5-1 overall, and face the Fulton Falcons next. Coach Hammonds knows that will be a much tougher contest than the game he played tonight against the hard playing but over-matched Patriots. “Injuries have kind of set us back but we’re trying to make some adjustments that will help us on down the road,” Hammonds said. “We’ve still got some work to do. Hopefully we’ll get everything pieced together and give it our best shot next week.” Next week’s game is at home against the mighty Fulton Falcons, and starts at 7:30 p.m. mpsports@themountainpress.com

No. 12 LSU seeks improved passing vs. Vols By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer BATON ROUGE, La. — Even as undefeated LSU has racked up wins and climbed the rankings, Tigers fans have gotten restless. They’ve seen this act before. No. 12 LSU (4-0, 2-0 SEC) started 4-0 in 2008 and 5-0 last season, only to fade when the schedule got tougher. So when LSU’s passing offense stagnated for a third straight game during last Saturday’s 20-14 win over West Virginia, the boos rained down from Tiger Stadium. Then when coach Les Miles replaced embattled quarterback Jordan Jefferson with backup Jarrett Lee for one series in the fourth quarter, a mocking cheer echoed through Death Valley. “Offensively, nobody is satisfied in our building,” Miles said this week, noting that LSU’s offense as a whole didn’t do Jefferson any favors with penalties,
dropped passes and missed blocks. “I can tell you that it wasn’t a great night to be a quarterback in our offense, no matter who the quarterback was.” LSU is favored by more than two touchdowns against Tennessee (2-2, 0-1), meaning this could be the Tigers’ last chance to get their aerial attack in synch before what looks like the first true test on their schedule — a road game at Florida on Oct. 9. LSU is averaging only 110 yards passing this season, and in each of the past three games, Jefferson has thrown for fewer than 100 yards and no TDs. Miles said Jefferson will start again against Tennessee, but added that Lee is close to being ready for more meaningful snaps. “It’s never going to be necessarily the fact that the other guy is just doing poorly,” Miles said. “It’s with the compliment of the efforts that Jarrett Lee has. He’s worked hard at it. He
has continued to compete and continues to improve, so my view is looking for opportunities to get him on the field.” Lee knows what it’s like to be booed, too. After Ryan Perrilloux was kicked off the team in 2008 and early season starter Andrew Hatch got hurt, Lee was thrown into a starting role as a freshman. At times he showed potential and at times he made gamechanging rookie mistakes in the form of seven interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. He played in one game last season and has taken only a few snaps this year, so no one really knows if Lee has developed enough to build on what he has done well while eliminating the errors of the past. First-year Tennessee coach Derek Dooley wishes he had Miles’ problems. The Volunteers needed doubleovertime to pull out a victory at home over underdog Alabama-Birmingham last weekend. That only got

their record back to .500. Dooley responded by giving his players two days off “to clear their minds and get physically well.” Top Tennessee running back Tauren Poole left the UAB game with a thigh injury and Dooley hoped he’d be ready to go in Baton Rouge. Quarterback Matt Simms has taken a beating behind a young offensive line that as allowed 14 sacks. “He has taken a lot of hits,” Dooley said. “We’ve got to
do a better job protecting him because he won’t make it. But he’s tough. I give him credit. Not many quarterbacks take a lot of hits and don’t get affected, and he hasn’t been.” Simms can expect plenty of pressure again this week from LSU’s SEC-leading defense, which has 11 sacks and six interceptions through four games. Senior defensive tackle Drake Nevis has led the push up front and star cornerback Patrick Peterson has a pair of interceptions to go with his two punt returns for scores. The dominating unit is directed by defensive coordinator John Chavis, now in his second season at LSU after two decades at Tennessee. This will mark the first time the Volunteers had to play against a Chavis defense, and they expect a tough test. “Their defensive line, I mean, it looks like watching an NFL team,” Dooley said. “When I say phenomenal talent at every position,
they probably have one of the best secondary guys in the country, and they have great coaching. So when you combine great coaching and phenomenal talent, and you can tell that they believe in their system, you’ve got a great defense.” Oddsmakers apparently believe that LSU’s dominant defense, strong special teams and a solid running game led by Stevan Ridley will carry the Tigers to a comfortable victory whether or not they struggle to throw against a Tennessee team that gave up 429 yards passing to UAB. Miles just hopes that, whatever happens, the home fans will be more supportive. “I’ve never in my life seen the reason to root negatively. I root strong for the team that I support,” Miles said. “When you see great effort and you see risk of injury, it’s serious. It’s not pretend. There are guys out there fighting. I kind of respect that.”
“The kids played hard and gave good effort, and I’m proud of them. I’m just mad at myself right now.”
PAT kick was blocked, but Carter led by the eventual final. Pigeon Forge sophomore Austin McCarter gave the Tigers a chance to respond with a 35-yard kickoff return to the Carter 45 with 2:00 minutes even on the clock. Three nice runs by Fox and Barbieri gave the Tigers a 1st-and-Goal at the 7 with less than a minute remaining. Three runs later, Pigeon Forge was in a 4th-and-Goal from the 1, seconds before the final door slammed shut on the Tigers with another turnover on downs with 4.9 seconds in the game. Carter got on the board first when Kirkland ran 26 yards to paydirt with 10:10 in the first. Black’s kick made it 7-0. Pigeon Forge answered with 7:20 in the first when Barbieri broke several tackles and dragged defenders the last few yards on a 17-yard scoring run. Coello’s kick was blocked, and the Tigers trailed 7-6. Carter made it 14-6 with 1:24 in the first when Kirkland found senior Zach Ballinger for a 13-yard aerial score. The Tigers cut it to 14-12 with 7:17 in the half when Barbieri pounded in his second of the night from one yard out. Black’s two-point run failed. Pigeon Forge took an 18-14 lead with 2:39 in the half when Fox pushed it in on a keeper from six inches out. Barbieri’s two-point run failed. Carter answered quickly, however, and Kirkland got his second passing TD of the night when he hooked up with senior Aaron Hurst for a 15-yard score with 1:36 in the half, which made it 21-18 and the intermission total. Kirkland finished the night 13-of-22 passing for 167 yards, two TDs throwing and two rushing with no interceptions, leading Carter to the dramatic come-from-behind win.

the right side of the field to the left, snaking through Seymour defenders and juking tacklers on the way the end zone. “I think that (swung the game’s momentum),” Seymour coach Jim Moore said. “We really, really emphasized special teams this week, and I was very proud of our special teams except for that one play.” McCarter had previously had three touchdowns called back this season, but with no laundry on the field, his Bears’ teammates mauled him in the end zone in celebration. The extra point was blocked, however, and the score stood 13-0. The Eagles tried to answer, mounting their best drive of the half. The team took nine plays and went 55 yards, highlighted by nice runs from Lee Knight and quarterback Dustin Fain, down to the Bears’ 14 before a untimely fumble — one of seven in the first half by the Eagles — bailed out the Sevier County defense. “(It’s) 13-0 we’re marching down, we’ve got a chance to score and we fumble the ball,” Moore said. “It’s a game of momentum and changes, and they got the momentum and we never changed it. I thought we had a chance right there, we were driving it on them, but we put it on the ground.” “There’s no excuse for those things,” Moore said of the repetitive fumbles. Five straight unfruitful possessions got the teams into the second quarter. Starting at the own 28-yard line, the Bears used a nine-play drive to travel 72-yard for their third TD of the night. Passes from Chastain to Gilson (31 yards) and sophomore Zac Cate (20 yards) got SCHS down to the Seymour 14, but the Bears’ fourth holding penalty of the game pushed it back to the 24. Two plays later the team rebounded as Chastain fired his second scoring pass of the night to a wide open Josh Johnson at the goal line, and Johnson walked into the end zone. “J.J.’s been making plays all year,” Brewer said. “We’ve been trying to rest him on offensive a little bit, but he showed what he can do. He made a beautiful move in the end zone.” Ten second later Johnson picked off a long Seymour pass with just a minute left in the half and returned it to the Eagles’ 45. One play later Chastain found Cate again, this time for a 45-yard TD to send the Bears’ sideline into a frenzy. “Dillon Cate right there before the half was a huge play,” Brewer said. “It really just sealed the first half for us and got us going into the dressing room feeling really good.” With the extra point the Bears led 28-0, and there the score remained to
them to do when they come out here. “They fought their butts off all night.” Moments after the loss, Hammonds asked his heartbroken group to not lose heart over the loss to Carter, reminding his team that they still have a shot to finish the regular season with a winning record if they can regroup and win out against Meigs County, Union County, Austin-East and Gatlinburg-Pittman. “I’m just very disappointed in this loss, and our kids are very disappointed,” said Hammonds. “We were the better football team tonight, no doubt. “We’ve just got to learn from this and move on. We’ve got to find a way to dig down deep within ourselves and find a way to make that play (in those goaline situations). But Carter did a good job stopping us. “But the kids played hard and gave good effort, and I’m proud of them. I’m just mad at myself right now.” The Tigers finished the night with 411 yards of offense, while limiting Carter to 199 yards. Pigeon Forge sophomore running back Patrick Barbieri led all players with 147 rushing yards and two scores on 26 carries. Junior fullback Michael Lombrana had 86 yards on 16 carries. Fox finished the game 5-of-9 passing for 78 yards, one score and no picks. And sophomore Kaleb Black added 53 rushing yards on six carries and another 29 yards receiving on three catches in just over a half of play. The Tigers trailed 21-18 at intermission, but Pigeon Forge used a chain-moving drive to take a 24-21 lead on the opening third-quarter drive. The Orange and Black marched 69 yards on nine plays, capped by a 13-yard

halftime. The second half was more of the same. After forcing the Eagles to punt on their first possession, the Bears went 77 yards on 11 plays to score what would be the game’s final touchdown. Dakota Cogdill carved up the Eagles defense on the drive, his biggest run being a 37-yard gain that saw him carry a pair of Seymour defenders before being brought down by a third. The scoring drive didn’t come without cost, however. Sevier County QB Danny Chastain was hurt on a hard hit at the sidelines after a 14-yard drive-sustaining scramble. He left the game and didn’t return, but seven plays later his backup, Cullen Lavoi found Gilson for the receiver’s second TD of the game to make it 35-0 following the PAT. From there the Bears had it on cruise control. Seymour did almost wipe out the shutout late, as they went deep into Sevier County territory. The Eagles had a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dustin Fain to sophomore D.J. Griffin called back by a hold, and just moments later Griffin caught what looked like a 15-yard onehanded TD catch ruled out of bounds. Despite the loss, Moore said he was pleased with his team’s second half effort. “I was proud of their second half effort, down 28-0,” Moore said. “(At half) we talked about effort, about pride, and getting with it and playing ball the second half. The defense made a couple of adjustments. Offense was moving the ball, we’ve just got to get in the end zone.” The Bears have an off-week this coming Friday, while Seymour travels to Morristown East. mpsports@themountainpress.com

aerial score from a bootlegging Fox to junior Eric Pildner on the right side of the end zone with 6:37 in the third. But the drive would prove costly because Black was injured on the first play from scrimmage and was limited the rest of the evening. Pigeon Forge senior Oscar Aleman — who was the emergency kicker for Miguel Coello, who was ejected along with Carter senior Dominique King for getting in a post-play altercation at the midway point of the second quarter — shanked the PAT try, but the Tigers held a 24-21 edge that stood until Carter made it the final with just 2:07 in regulation. The Tigers defense looked better after halftime adjustments, and they forced the Green Hornets to punt on their first possession of the second half. Pigeon Forge again methodically marched down a 77-yard field on eight plays only to fumble a handoff exchange at the Carter 2 with 1:08 in the third. But the Orange-andBlack defense again stood firm and forced another punt with 11:43 in regulation. The Tigers again pounded out a drive down a 57-yard field only to turn it over on downs 11 plays later at the Carter 2 with 5:08 in regulation.

It was a good, friendly rivalry, but I think we just wanted it a little more. “It was a big night for us.”
The Lady Highlanders built a 3-0 lead within the first 25 minutes of the first half. Sophomore Kasey Sumeriski got it started with a goal off a penalty kick five minutes into action. Freshman Courtney Malone made it 2-0 with a direct kick, and freshman Makenzie Thomas made it 3-0 after breaking through the SCHS defense and past
the charging goal keeper for a wide-open look at goal. Sevier County’s Rebecca Fields made it the eventual final with a goal off an assist from Alyssa Hale with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. With the Smoky Bears football team involved in a huge rivalry contest at Seymour, and with the G-P football team on a long road trip and expected to
roll over Union County, the Lady Highlanders soccer team took the fan advantage at Sevier County’s home field. “We had more fans there, so that always helps,” said Helton. Both teams play again Saturday, with start times of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the SCHS Soccer Complex. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Hobbled Ole Miss defense faces explosive Kentucky Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Local drivers race into a turn at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour.
411 fall season starts tonight Track hosting Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Awareness Night SEYMOUR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 411 Motor Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fall schedule starts tonight in Seymour. The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contests are also the trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final points contests, where drivers will battle it out in a super-tight Pure-Minis race. In addition to being the final points
races, the track is celebrating its Living Legends Night as Herman Collins, J.T. Kerr and Leon Vineyard will be inducted into the 411 Motor Speedway Legends club. 2009 inductees Herman Goddard and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Billâ&#x20AC;? Corum will provide the tribute. Also the track will be having their Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Awareness Night, as every completed lap earns a dollar to the cause. From submitted reports
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just four games into the season, Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense is hurting. Defensive end Kentrell Lockett is out for the season, hobbling around on crutches after tearing his ACL. Safety Johnny Brown has a sore knee. Cornerback Jeremy McGee is recovering from a concussion. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad news for the Rebels, considering they were already having trouble stopping opponents before the rash of injuries. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving up 32 points per game, which ranks last in the Southeastern Conference. Now with a patchwork defense, including several freshmen in the secondary, Ole Miss (2-2, 0-1 SEC) faces a Kentucky (3-1, 0-1)
team known for explosive offensive playmakers Randall Cobb and Derrick Locke at 11:21 a.m. today at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said his young players are physically capable, but their inexperience scares him.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys have to keep absorbing, study, and keep getting better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy ... it takes time for them to really feel the speed of this league that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy, but I have confidence in those guys. They have to get to practice and go to work.â&#x20AC;?

Advice
Get family involved in helping mom deal with depression, OCD

Dear Annie: I am concerned about my mother, a 66-year-old widow of 15 years. When my father was alive, Mom worked full time, kept a reasonably clean house and raised two children by herself. (My father was an alcoholic who was not around much.) In the years since Dad died, however, the house has gone to ruin. The problem is, my sister and extended family convinced me to let Mom move into one of my properties. My sister cleans it once every six months. Each time, they remove 10 huge bags of garbage. By the way, Mom works full time, and her supervisors are always talking about how professional and neat her work area is. They even use her as an example when training new employees. Now the property is infested with fleas. Mom says she doesn’t notice them. I cannot get rid of the fleas until the house is cleaned. I work full time and have two children, one with severe special needs. I do not have the time or energy to take care of my mother, too. I know Mom is depressed, but I cannot convince her to get help. My sister has also tried to talk with her. I want to evict her, but my family is against it. After all, she is my mother. But I cannot afford to have her ruin my property. I am struggling to get by on what little I have. My uncle will be visiting soon, and he’s one of the few people my mother respects. I was thinking of discussing this with him and having him invite himself to her house so he can see for himself. Maybe it would
be a wakeup call. What do you say? — At a Loss Dear Loss: We think anyone who can get through to your mother is worth talking to. Evicting her will make you the pariah of the family and will not solve the problem. It’s possible Mom has some depression or early dementia. Right now, the best solution would be for the relatives to contribute to a fund in order to hire someone to clean her place every month (or more). Then make an appointment for her to see her doctor for an evaluation. You also can contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for support and suggestions. Dear Annie: While moving things out of my son’s room this summer, we came across a box of thank-you notes and addressed envelopes that were apparently never sent for an event that happened two years ago. Which is worse: sending the thank-you notes two years late or not at all? — Struggling with Two Bad Options Dear Struggling: They should be sent, along with a note of explanation and an expression of regret for not having mailed them in a more timely fashion. Ideally, your son should be the one to do this. If that is not possible, please do it on his behalf. Those who sent a gift deserve to know it arrived

and was appreciated. Dear Annie: This is for “Worried Mom” with the underachieving son. Our son was diagnosed with ADHD and rarely finished assignments. High school was a disaster. Finally, his principal convinced us it was OK if he wasn’t ready to graduate, and once we accepted that, we were more at peace. Then our son decided to join the Marine Corps, and in order to enlist, he needed to graduate. So he did — barely. The Marines gave him self-confidence. Five years later, he entered community college and earned a 4.0. That, in turn, led to an Ivy League school, where he made the Dean’s list. After a year, he was awarded a full scholarship. Next spring, he will graduate a bright, confident young man of 28 with multiple job opportunities. My advice to “Mom” is to remove yourself from making it your problem. Show love and support, and recognize his education is ultimately up to him. He might just surprise you. Ours did. — Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
