White stuff an early visitor to national park’s peaks By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer Those who were able to glimpse the top of Mt. LeConte on Monday through thick, persistent clouds saw something familiar but new — snow. Official reports indicate three inches of the white stuff fell at the top of the mountain as the mercury plummeted well below freezing Sunday night. By the morning,

rime ice coated trees even some distance from the summit, while the snow was visible at the top. Allyson Virden, who maintains the blog www.highonleconte.com and says she is currently managing the lodge on the mountain with her husband, reported the surprise precipitation with some humor on Monday. “Winter is officially on the mountain,” Virden wrote. “(Three inches) of fresh snow greeted us

this morning. This is the biggest first snow since 1979. The high yesterday was 39 degrees and the low was 24. I guess it is time to pull out the winter clothes.” Great Smoky Mountains National Park spokeswoman Nancy Gray pointed out the lodge keepers maintain fastidious weather records, which she is certain led to the determination of this being the deepest first snow of the season in more than

30 years. She also noted the official reading at Mt. LeConte does indicate three inches of snow fell. While the chilly blanket may have topped the earliest accumulations in three decades, it’s still not close to the record for when the first snow fell on the mountain. “This is somewhat early, but it is not unheard of,” Gray said, See snow, Page A4

Rotary festival offers lots more than just crafts By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — The 34th annual Rotary Craft Festival, going on now at Patriot Park, doesn’t just offer the opportunity to purchase some unique crafts, but also the chance to hear an amazing story or two. Take, for instance, Joe White, who can be found demonstrating his craft under the handmade sign for Papaw’s Woodturning.

PIGEON FORGE — Mountain Valley, Hillside Winery and Apple Barn’s “Stomp Out Breast Cancer” event Saturday proved to be a success, according to winery owner Don Collier. “We have around 85 to 90 people out here today,” Collier said. “The community has been very supportive.” The event’s proceeds benefited the American Cancer Society, for which it raised $7,500 last year. Participants registered at Hillside Winery, then made the trek to Apple Barn, where they enjoyed apple bobbing along with chilled cider and apple doughnuts. The “Pink” wine release was also presented, and Rocky Top Wine Trail passports were stamped. See cancer, Page A5

Kick ‘N Country Theater has ticket deal for Sevier residents Submitted Report A free ticket to Kick ‘N Country Theater in Pigeon Forge is offered to any person who resides yearround in Sevier County or to any person who is employed at a Sevier County business. In exchange, each recipient is

encouraged to donate a canned food item for the Sevier County Food Ministries. Many have donated much more than a single item. During the first full week of Sevier County Days, Kick ‘N Country has provided the agency with over 1,000 pounds

of canned food. According to theater general manager J.B. Buccafusco, “Our goal is at least one full ton of food, by the final evening Oct. 8.” Steve Streibig of Sevier County Food Ministries said, “Enough food has been brought to feed 350 families for a week. We are very

grateful for Mr. Buccafusco and for all his employees who helped with this food drive. Donations have been steadily increasing with each show.” Kick ‘N Country Theater features local talent offering modern country music. Comic Elmwood Smooch is part of the show.

GATLINBURG — Trinity Episcopal Church will hold a pet and animal blessing at 4 p.m. Saturday in honor of St. Francis of Assisi’s affinity for all creatures. Trinity’s celebration of St. Francis, the Patron Saint of animals and the environment, will include a short service followed by a blessing of each animal. All are welcome to bring their properly caged or leashed pets. The church will supply dog and cat treats as well as refreshments for humans. St. Francis of Assisi was a preacher who founded the Order of Friars Minor, commonly known as the Franciscans. However, people often remember St. Francis best for his fondness of animals, including that he could communicate with animals and felt at one with all creation. He composed “Canticle of the Creatures,” also known as the Laudes Creaturarum or “Canticle of the Sun,” as an ode to living things. Around the world, churches of many denominations honor St. Francis of Assisi with animal and pet blessings. Trinity will collect money for Miss Ellie’s Mission, a local organization with a goal of raising $1 million to help build a new animal shelter in Sevier County. Miss Ellie performed as part of the Comedy Barn Canines. For more visit www.misselliesmission.com.

other wooden objects, each with their own unique colors and shapes. “You don’t have a pattern to go by or anything like that when you turn wood. You just let your imagination run free,� White says. “You finish what God started. You just see what’s inside.� To watch White masterfully whittling away at a piece as it spins on the lathe, a person likely would think he’s just a guy trying to make a few bucks off something he’s talented at. That’s missing the story, though. As it turns out, while he enjoyed woodworking all his life, White only got serious about the craft about four years ago. That was around three years after his life changed drastically. For it was seven years ago White was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an ailment that can cause constant tremors in the body and eventually lead to a loss of physical ability. The news was heartbreaking for White and his wife Robin. As he talked to his doctors about what could help him slow or fight the ailment, one of them became fixated on his woodworking hobby. “The doctor told him to get into it because it can help with his fine motor skills and it could help fight the affects of the disease,� Robin White says. “It would be like therapy.� Joe White decided to give it a try. He piddled around with carving of different types for a few years before a friend introduced him to woodturning. He was hooked immediately. “Once I started turning, that was it,� White says. “Everything you make is different and you find something new every day. The more you turn it, the more you see of the wood and it’s just amazing. “It’s something I love. It’s a passion. It’s not about selling something or competing with somebody. It’s just about a passion.� White says the hobby has been great for helping him deal with the disease and admits his leaving his Friendsville workshop to be part of events such as the Rotary Craft Festival is, actually, about more than his passion. “It’s the best therapy in the world. It’s amazing how much it helps me,� he says. “If my being out here inspires just one person with Parkinson’s or some other condition to realize their hobby could help them, all the better.� With more than 2,000 people filtering through the 200-by-80-foot tent in the parking lot next to the Old Mill on Saturday alone, White says he’s seen “some of the nicest people in the world� stopping by to eye his work. While it’s White’s first year at the event, folks such as Melesia Goodman of Swansboro, N.C., have made it a tradition. “We have a timeshare here and we’re always here this same week when they’re doing this,� Goodman explains. “We have been coming for the last four years and we absolutely love it.� Along with three sisters, Goodman was scouting for everything from home decorations to Christmas presents, saying many of her purchases in the red and white big top have ended up under the tree on holidays past. She likes the show because it offers variety, with more than 50 vendors offering everything from jewelry to dish towel angels. “There are a lot of different and very

pointing out October typically brings the first significant snowfalls in the park’s higher elevations. “There are records of snow falling earlier than this in previous years.� The frozen precipitation wasn’t just limited to LeConte, either. One ranger reported seeing snow on cars and a dusting on the ground at Newfound Gap, while Clingman’s Dome Road was closed overnight after ice made driving conditions treacherous. On Mt. LeConte, a low temperature of 24 degrees was logged for Sunday, as Virden reported. While things were a bit warmer down below in the rest of Sevier County, the thermometer readings for the weekend were still well below average thanks to a cold front that plowed through the area, bringing with it a rain that lingered through Sunday and leaving behind it some frigid air. Though the readings for

original things here that you just don’t see everywhere,� she says. “Of course, we also love to support the Rotary Club because they do a lot of good things and you know your money is going to those causes and not to administration.� Pigeon Forge Rotary Club member Fred Frische, who has organized the fair for the last two decades, says money raised from vendor fees, donations from browsers and concession sales provides the biggest source of funding for the group each year. That money will support programs including 15 scholarships for local students, dictionaries provided to classrooms in Pigeon Forge and an annual Christmas party for under-privileged children at Pigeon Forge Primary School, as well as contributions to schools in the city, the Boys & Girls Clubs and Sevier County Food Ministries, among other things. “This funds everything we do through the year,� Frische says. The fair started as just a rummage sale in a barn behind the Old Mill, with the addition of crafts to the event coming several years later. While it moved around some in those early days, since it became the Craft Fair, it has always been in the parking lot at Patriot Park and, for at least most of the time, has been staged under that massive tent. “It has become sort of our trademark,� Frische jokes. Many of the vendors, like the customers, are repeat visitors to the fair, with some even staking their claims for several decades. They like the show because it provides a good return on their small booth fees, says Frische, who himself offers his own hand-crafted wood signs that he regularly creates at the Tennessee Peddler story on Wears Valley Road. Each Rotary Club member is required to work at least two two-hour shifts at the entrance and the concession stand. With that donated labor and help from the city of Pigeon Forge, which has always supported the event, the effort’s proceeds are virtually entirely profit. “It’s just a great event with a really long history here,� Frische says.

Thank you Sevier County for Supporting my business for the last 13 years.

the end of last week were at normal levels, standing in the mid-70s, the mercury tumbled about 20 degrees and didn’t even break 60 Sunday or Monday, according to data from the National Weather Service. Sunday’s official high of just 58 degrees, recorded at Knoxville’s McGhee-Tyson Airport, is 10 degrees below normal. There are indications Sevier County didn’t even get that warm, with the heavy cloud cover and persistent drizzle, but the weather service doesn’t have a monitoring station here. That cold stretched across the state, too. A frost advisory was issued for most of Middle and West Tennessee, as well as the western North Carolina mountains, Monday night and this morning, with central parts of the state even covered until early Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to warm back to normal ranges by midweek, with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the upper-40s returning by the weekend.

Troy Rogers, 77 of Seymour, died Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010. He was employed by East Tennessee Packing Company for 28 years, and also worked several years as custodian at Seymour High School. He was a veteran of the Army and was of the Baptist faith. Survivors: brother and sister-in-law, Roy and Patsy Rogers; nephews, Scott, Harold, Freddie and Richard Rogers. Funeral service was Monday in the West Chapel of Atchley Funeral Home with the Revs. W.A. Galyon and Ray Williams officiating. Interment 10 a.m. Tuesday in Highland South Memorial Park.

All this cold may be forcing local residents to drag out their winter sweaters earlier than they expected to, but it is good for at least one thing. Gray said the cold nights and warmer days are perfect for bringing out the bright colors of fall. While she reported even the highest areas are still “probably two weeks� from peaking and those at lower elevations have even longer to go, there is at least reason to believe there is progress being made on that front. “There is some color visible now and there is progress being made,� Gray said. “At the higher elevations, you’re seeing some change in the yellow birch, American beech and the pin cherry. Even at the bottom there is some color in the dogwoods and sumacs.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Associated Press

This artist rendering shows the newest Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, right, during a hearing at the court in Washington on Monday. Seated, from left are, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Chief Justices John Roberts, Justice Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito and Kagan.

New high court era: Kagan makes three women on bench By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court began a new era Monday with three women serving together for the first time, Elena Kagan taking her place at the end of the bench and quickly joining in the give-and-take. In a scene that will repeat itself over the next few months, Kagan left the courtroom while the other justices remained to hear a case in which she will take no part. She has taken herself out of 24 pending cases, including the second of the two argued Monday, because of her work as the Obama administration’s solicitor general prior to joining the court in August. Opening its new term on the traditional first Monday in October, the court turned down hundreds of appeals, including one from the relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. They are seeking a proper burial for material taken from the World Trade Center site because it could contain the ashes of victims. The justices also refused to hear several criminal appeals, including one by John and Timothy Rigas, founders of former telecommunications giant Adelphia Communications. They wanted the court

to overturn their fraud convictions in connection with Adelphia’s collapse in 2002. The court also rejected an appeal by reputed Ku Klux Klansman James Ford Seale of his conviction for killing two black men in rural Mississippi in 1964 and another appeal by Georgia death row inmate Jamie Ryan Weis, who said he had no lawyer for two years. At the court, moments after Marshal Pamela Talkin banged her gavel and commanded the audience’s attention, Chief Justice John Roberts announced the start of the new term with little fanfare. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, beginning her second year on the court, sat at the opposite end of the bench from Kagan, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who joined in 1993, sat midway between Kagan and Roberts, who occupies the center chair. John Paul Stevens’ retirement after 34 years led to Kagan’s appointment. The new court has four New Yorkers, Antonin Scalia and the three women. All nine justices got their law degrees from Ivy League schools, and all but Kagan previously served as federal appeals court judges. For the first time ever, there are no Protestants among the justices — six Catholics and three Jews.

Tony Curtis buried after Vegas funeral LAS VEGAS (AP) — Actor Tony Curtis was buried Monday with a melange of his favorite possessions — a Stetson hat, an Armani scarf, driving gloves, an iPhone and a copy of his favorite novel, “Anthony Adverse,” a book that inspired his celebrity name and launched a robust film career that spanned decades and genres. The 85-year-old Oscar-nominated actor who starred in such films as “The Defiant Ones” and “Some Like It Hot” died Wednesday at his home in Henderson, a Las Vegas suburb, after suffering cardiac arrest. More than 400 celebrities, fans, friends

Next it was on to Mountain Valley, where the group took on grape stomping, listened to musical entertainment and munched on pink appetizers while sampling the “Pink” wine. After their passport was stamped again, they headed back to Hillside Winery, where they had lunch. They were entertained with live country music, scouted out a silent auction, celebrated the sparkling wine release and toured the wine production area. It was winemaker Doug Seitz who first had the idea to create a pink wine for the wineries. Three different wines were created, including a strawberry blush, a pink muscadine and a sparkling cranberry wine called Poinsettia. “Last year we made 1,000 bottles of each one. We were going to sell them through the month of October, but we sold out in six days,” Collier said. “We’re selling 3,000 bottles this year, and we’re on pace to exceed last year’s fundraiser.” Collier praised winery employee Christine Kimmins for coordinating the fundraiser. “She’s put on a tremendous event. She made this happen.”

and family members gathered to say goodbye at a public funeral service Monday in Las Vegas honoring Curtis’ life. The funeral was to be followed by the burial and then a reception for 200 invited guests at the Luxor hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip. A montage of Curtis’ famous film roles opened the sometimes solemn, sometimes mirthful farewell service attended by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor Jamie Lee Curtis, porn star Ron Jeremy and Vera Goulet, widow of Broadway singer Robert Goulet.

It was an event that friends Lynn Anderson of Pigeon Forge and Marti Smith of Gatlinburg were happy to attend. “We’re into breast canChapter 7 ,

“We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code”

LEBANON (AP) — A man has pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the Wilson County death of a teen 41 years ago. Sixty-eight-year-old James Crawford will serve three years of probation for the 1969 death of 19-year-old Butch Cooksey. Police at the time thought Cooksey had died accidentally, but the case was reopened in 2009 when an autopsy revealed Cooksey had been run over several times on Highway 70 in Wilson County. According to WTVF-TV, the family came through with fresh information that led to a new look at the case. Wilson County Sheriff Terry Ashe said that the two had a dispute after Cooksey tried to intervene in domestic trouble between Crawford and Crawford’s wife. Crawford’s attorney said his client made the plea because he did not want to risk a jail sentence.

Gates Foundation awards $274,500 to state Chamber

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry has been awarded a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant of $274,500. The group’s nonprofit foundation will use the money to promote the need for increased college completion rates in Tennessee. Chamber officials said Tennessee does a better job of attracting students to college than at making sure they graduate. They cited statistics showing that only about 13 of 100 ninth-graders go on to graduate from college. They said this hurts the Tennessee economy in the long run. The funds will be used to alert business leaders, government officials, employers, the media and others about the college graduation rate.

Five German militants killed by U.S. strike

BERLIN (AP) — An American missile strike killed five German militants Monday in the rugged Pakistan border area where a cell of Germans and Britons at the heart of the U.S. terror alert for Europe — a plot U.S. officials link to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden — were believed in hiding. The attack, part of a recent spike in American drone strikes on Pakistan, came as Germany said it has “concrete evidence” that at least 70 Germans

have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and about a third have returned to Germany. Authorities across Europe have heightened security at airports and other travel hubs as well as at main tourist attractions following the U.S. warning of an al-Qaida-linked terror plot targeting London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals. Washington warned Americans over the weekend to use caution when traveling in Europe and imposed a curfew on some U.S. troops based in Germany.

Test-tube baby pioneer wins Nobel in medicine

NEW YORK (AP) — The Nobel Prize in medicine went to a man whose work led to the first test tube baby, an achievement that helped bring 4 million infants into the world and raised challenging new questions about human reproduction. Robert Edwards of Britain, now an 85-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Cambridge, lived to see the far-reaching ramifications of his hugely controversial early research. “Today, Robert Edwards’ vision is a reality and brings joy to infertile people all over the world,” the Nobel Committee said in Stockholm. It began with the birth on July 25, 1978, of the first test-tube baby, Louise Brown, to a couple who had been trying to conceive for nine years. With in vitro fertilization, or IVF, an egg is removed from a woman, mixed with sperm in a laboratory, allowed to divide for four or five days, then implanted in the womb to grow into a baby. Today the odds of a couple having a baby after a single cycle of IVF treatment are about 1 in 5, roughly the same odds as a fertile couple trying to have children naturally.

Alleged pimp-kidnapper may have had dozens of victims

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The case of an alleged pimp suspected of abducting two teenage girls and keeping them captive while forcing them into prostitution could include dozens of other victims, authorities said Monday. Police urged other possible victims of suspect Leroy Bragg to come forward. Bragg, 34, was arrested Sept. 28 and charged with trafficking a minor, solicitation and other crimes in the alleged abduction of a 13-year-old girl. He also is suspected of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl, though charges have not been filed in that case.

Delayed scores leave schools in limbo NASHVILLE (AP) — One consequence of overhauling the state’s school achievement testing system has been a delay in test results that has put a number of schools and students in limbo this year. For one thing, schools that have failed to meet testing requirements more than two years in a row must offer students the option to transfer to other schools or give them access to tutoring. The Tennessean reports the state got permission to delay

the transfer option this year, but that permission did not come until after school had started in most districts. As a result, some districts offered to transfer students based on 2009 scores. When the 2010 scores are released — likely in November — they may have to offer a second round of transfers mid-school year. “I do think that could be disruptive,” said Metro Nashville Director of Schools Jesse Register. Also being disrupted is funding for fail-

State officials said they are already working with failing schools to address some long-standing problems. Some of that work is being done with a $500 million federal grant the state won in March to reform public education. State Education Commissioner Tim Webb has asked the fed-

eral government to grant the state a yearlong grace period to make the transition to the new testing system so Tennessee won’t have to begin the massive reform that will likely come with lower test scores all at once. Webb wants the state to continue working with schools that are already classified as “high priority” because of failing test scores, but he is asking the federal government to not add new schools to the list or increase penalties during the grace period.

commentary

Women still lag behind on job front According to recent census data, marriage has hit new lows and cohabitation has hit new highs. The Associated Press reports: “The recession took a dramatic toll on the institution of marriage in America last year, new figures show, with weddings for people 18 and older at the lowest ebb in over a hundred years.” Just 52 percent of adults said they were married in 2009, compared to 57 percent in 2000. For the first time in American history the proportion of adults age 25 to 34 who say they have never married (46.3 percent) is larger than the share who say they are married (44.9 percent). Meanwhile, cohabitation in the U.S. rose 13 percent from 2009 to 2010 to an all-time high. Among people who moved in together this year, both partners were employed in just 39 percent of couples, compared to 50 percent of cohabiting couples who moved in together in previous years. Almost a quarter of men who began cohabiting this last year were unemployed, compared to just 14 percent of men who began cohabiting in 2009. Here’s my question: Why do women do it? Why do women agree to take in, nurture and economically support men who are not gainfully employed? I understand why men are willing to support women who do not work; I also understand why women do not marry unemployed men. But why in the world are women willing to do “everything but marriage” with men who they do not see as marriageable? Especially since women living with men tends to lead to children in need. The majority of children born out of wedlock are now born to cohabiting couples. Sex every night considerably increases the odds of pregnancy, even with consistent contraceptive use. And the marriage-lite features of cohabitation tend to lull women’s vigilance in that regard as well. (The group with the highest rates of contraceptive failure are young cohabiting women.) Meanwhile for the first time in history we have a “mancession” -- an economic collapse where the hit to jobs has been biggest for men. Item: In a taxicab, I meet a guy who fights wildfires for a living. He told me that in his department there is a strong preference for women candidates because they are historically underrepresented among federal firefighters. I can understand that. But are men ever favored explicitly in similar fields where women dominate? Are we now preferring male social workers or nurses in VA hospitals in federal hiring because these fields have been historically dominated by women? This is an urgent question, not just for men, but for the women who love men. We once lived in an economy that favored men and disfavored women in education and jobs. Today, the majority of college graduates and even Ph.D.s are women. How is this working out for women? Not as well as we hoped. As Genesis points out, the majority of us are stuck with heterosexuality: “Your desire will be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” As we increasingly produce economically (but not sexually) dysfunctional men, women are increasingly left with poor sexual choices: celibacy, serial sexual relationships or cohabitation with underemployed men. What seems out of reach is the kind of marriage the vast majority of our mothers could look forward to: marriage with a man who A. worked hard, B. was willing to give his income to his wife and children, C. believed in sexual fidelity (whether or not he succeeded), and D. didn’t abandon his wife or children. These men were often limited in other ways. They weren’t necessarily good at meeting women’s emotional needs. Men so seldom are. But they were men who got the job done, they did their duty, they were good family men within the limits of their ability. Having abandoned the ideal of finding men like these, women do not seem to have inherited a world full of new men unusually adept at meeting their emotional needs. Young women appear increasingly stuck with fewer options, their mothering and nurturing impulses redirected at boyfriends having a hard time financially. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

Get over it Yeah, it was a heartbreaking loss, but Vols must put it past them So what’s worse, to lose an election by one vote or 10,000 votes? To finish second in an Olympic race by .001 seconds or 10 seconds? A loss is a loss, but sometimes how you lose makes a difference in your attitude toward defeat. The Tennessee Vols lost to LSU last Saturday, but it’s how they lost that will stay with this team and its players long after the preparations for the next game begin. To go from joyous excitement and happiness to a defeat in such a manner sticks in the craw. Fans are still talking about the last few seconds of that game in Baton Rouge, and they will for some time. You know what happened by now. LSU got down to the two yard line in the final minute and, on what appeared to be the last play of the game, snapped the ball past the quarterback, leading to a fumble and the sound of the scoreboard horn. But wait. Tennessee had 13 players on the field, giving LSU one more untimed play. They scored to win 16-14.

Tennessee Coach Derek Dooley was livid, thinking the referees should have allowed Tennessee time to send in substitutes because the LSU offense did. The rules seem to allow the referee to stop play long enough for the defense to respond to personnel changes made by the offense. That didn’t happen, the Vols got confused and two extra players were on the field for that last play. What a heartbreaker. This Tennessee team that few gave much chance of winning on the road in Baton Rouge nearly defeated an unbeaten team. It would have been the greatest win in young Dooley’s brief tenure. It was not to be. Coaches, players and fans can blame the officials. They can be angry over an apparent win snatched way. But it won’t change anything. Tennessee lost the game and it forever will be a loss. The trick now is to somehow put that past you and move on to the next game. In the SEC there is always a next game. This is the toughest football con-

ference in America. Somebody is always waiting for their shot, and with so much money and prestige at stake, wins are paramount. Tennessee can build on the loss to LSU, or continue to be sickened by it and let it affect the rest of the season — or at least this week’s game against Georgia. As upset as Dooley and his staff and players were over how that game ended, it did end, and if they are worthy of competing in the SEC— and they are — they have to find a way to get players focused on the next game, not the last game. It won’t be easy. Little League players forget a loss as soon as the Cokes are served after the game. High school players forget a loss as soon as they dress for the post-game party. College players? Not so easy. But it has to be done. Tennessee fans should be pleased by what they saw last weekend. This team is better than some predicted they would be. If their hearts are as big as their talents, they’ll be just fine.

Political view

Public forum Library board chairman: Don’t blame staff for bad behavior

Editor: I have read with interest and great concern the recent letters to the editor regarding the behavior of patrons at the King Family Library, in particular the behavior in the teen center. I share their disappointment and regret with the situation, as does the staff of the library. It goes without saying that there is a certain level of behavior expected of persons when in various public settings. The library is one of those public places where the bar may be a bit higher than at some others, but the rule is common sense and common knowledge none the less. To state it simply, treat others with the same respect that you would want for yourself. The library is a place for meeting people,

for research, for study, for reflection, and for expanding our minds in many other ways. It is not a place for loud, boisterous and destructive behavior. One of the previous writers expressed it best when she said, “It only takes a little vigilance and desire to keep the place quiet.” However, I think it is entirely unfair to blame the staff or to assign to them the entire responsibility for ensuring proper behavior. It has been correctly stated that they are not baby sitters. They are there to assist all patrons by helping them to find resources and handle service related questions along with literally dozens of other responsibilities necessary to make the system function properly. The real responsibility for instilling proper behavior begins at home with the parents and then, if this fails, the responsibility for establishing and enforcing acceptable behavior

lies with the public whom it affects. To this end, we sadly have had to ask some younger and older patrons of the library to leave our facility. We have also asked for and received random visits from both county and city law enforcement officers (thank you Sheriff Seals and Chief Myers) and will not hesitate to remove anyone from the premises who is disorderly or destructive in their behavior. Sevier County, through the generosity of its citizens, is blessed with a wonderful and beautiful library facility that, with the community’s help, will continue to grow to meet the needs of its patrons. We will continue to work with the community to provide a safe and appropriate environment for all who use the facilities of the Sevier County Library System. David J. Sarten, Chairman Sevier County Library Board of Trustees

PREP FOOTBALL

With off week, Bears readying for late-season run By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — With no game slated this Friday, the Sevier County Smoky Bears and coach Steve Brewer are focusing on something other than their Oct. 17 opponent Cherokee. “Our focus this week is to get healthier and get some work done on some important fundamentals and just work on things that we do,” Brewer said Monday night. If that week of focusing on fundamentals improves much past how they played last Friday night it only means one thing — bad news for the Chiefs. Friday night the Bears were up 28-0 on Seymour at halftime and kept the shutout on for the last two quarters to win 35-0. Quarterback Danny Chastain had 148 yards and 3 TDs passing in just over a half of play and the Bears’ young offensive line didn’t allow a sack, while also opening plentiful rushing lanes for runners Dakota Cogdill and Bubba Floyd. “We did have a few creases, a few holes to run the ball through,” Brewer said. “And I thought we did a good job running it.” Cogdill finished with 80 yards on just 10 carries. Also worthy of a mention from Brewer were sophomores Dillon Cate and Logan McCarter.

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Sevier County sophomore defensive tackle Ralph Watson tackles Seymour running back Lee Knight at the line of scrimmage Friday during the Bears’ 35-0 win over the Eagles. McCarter, who scored on a punt return that saw him go from one side of the field to the other, earned his first varsity TD. “I think everybody was glad (to see McCarter get in the end zone),” Brewer said. “Especially

since that’s the fourth one he’s scored, the first one that’s officially counted (three called back for holds). I think everyone’s pleased for him — he’s an outstanding punt returner, and it’s good to see that effort not go to waste.”

Cate also scored his first varsity TD, on a 45-yard pass just before halftime. “Dillon has quietly gone about catching 20 passes for us this year,” Brewer said. “And I think he’s made some really nice contributions to our offense, and I

was glad to see him in the end zone as well.” Friday also marked the return of senior Tyler Wischer, who missed three games with a back injury. Though he was limited to only a few defensive plays and special teams, Brewer was pleased to have his rangy senior safety back. “He was aggressive, and I was glad to see that,” the coach said. “He made some big hits and it didn’t seem to effect him adversely. For the first game back he was excited and pumped up, and I was glad to see him make some big hits and be OK.” “Having him back healthy is going to make our defense that much deeper and stronger. He plays with a lot of passion, and when you play defense that’s what you’ve got to be able to do.” As for the team’s schedule for the remainder of the week, it’s relatively light. After a day off today, the team gets back to work on Wednesday. “We’ll be in full pads Wednesday and Thursday, and then Friday we’ll be lifting and running and working on some special teams and hopefully letting them go early so we can go see some ball games,” Brewer said. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Bearettes sweep past G-P girls

Wagner has memorable final regular-season save By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Senior Night for the Bearettes volleyball team couldn’t have been drawn up any better. SCHS seniors Hailey Tackett, Kaycee Dixon and Megan Daugherty helped their Purple and White teammates to a 25-15, 25-11, 25-11 sweep of the visiting Gatlinburg-Pittman Lady Highlanders. Despite coming out with some nerves early, the game was never really in question for the Bearettes. “The difference in the game, I thought, was we out-served their servers,” SCHS coach Billy Ward said. “We controlled our serves and they struggled with their attempts.” The Bearettes will be back in action tonight against IMAC conference rival South-Doyle. The game will begin at 6 p.m. SCHS will likely finish first or second in their division of the IMAC and, if so, will host a home match in the district tournament Oct. 11.

Europe’s Graeme McDowell holds up the trophy after winning the 2010 Ryder Cup golf tournament Monday.

ATLANTA (AP) — Wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, Billy Wagner had a swagger when he walked into his first spring training with the Atlanta Braves in February and offered a bold prediction. “If I’m able to go out there and throw 40 saves, there’s a great chance the Braves are going to the playoffs,” he said in his first day with the team. As it turned out, 37 was enough to help the Braves make their first postseason since 2005. Wagner and the Braves will face San Francisco in an NL division series, beginning Thursday. Wagner struck out the side in the ninth inning for the save in Sunday’s 8-7 win over Philadelphia as the Braves earned the NL wild card. Manager Bobby Cox’s retirement after the season has been the big story in Atlanta. The 38-year-old Wagner also is calling it quits after the season, and he already has a memorable final regular-season game. Wagner notched his 422nd save, fifth on the career list and only two behind John Franco’s

record 424 for left-handers. It wasn’t easy, because a rocky eighth inning preceded the dominant ninth. The Phillies scored three runs off Jonny Venters and 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 strand runners on second and third. Wagner realized how close he came to losing the lead and blowing more than the save. A loss could have left a bitter final memory for his career. “Don’t think that didn’t run through my head out there, you screw this up and you have to go home and always be a goat,” Wagner said. “I was happy to go out there and compete and make some pitches and have another day to go out there and sweat.” After winning the key showdown with Ibanez, Wagner had more strikeout magic in the ninth. Relying on his slider, which was all the more difficult to pick up in the afternoon shadows, Wagner struck out Shane Victorino, Brian Schneider and Greg Dobbs — each on called third strikes.

Britain dashes US dreams in final match of Ryder Cup By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer NEWPORT, Wales — Graeme McDowell capped off an unforgettable year for himself — and for Europe. In a Ryder Cup that came down to the very last match Monday, McDowell rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, then closed out Hunter Mahan to give Europe the 14 1/2 points it needed to reclaim the precious gold trophy. It was the first time since 1991 that the Ryder Cup was decided by the final singles match, a thriller made possible by the

Americans getting big wins from their best players and a stunning comeback by 21-year-old rookie Rickie Fowler. Leave it to McDowell, the U.S. Open champion, to deliver another careerdefining moment. Under far greater pressure than he faced at Pebble Beach, he turned back the American rally with a birdie putt that seemed to take forever to reach the hole until it tumbled into the cup and set off a ground-shaking roar at Celtic Manor. “Graeme McDowell was put there for a good reason — he’s full of confidence and that showed,”

European captain Colin Montgomerie said. “That birdie on 16 was just quite unbelievable. Quite unbelievable.” So was the finish. Europe, ahead by three points going into the final round, took the early lead in eight of the nine matches and appeared on its way to another rout on home soil. It all turned so quickly. Tiger Woods holed out from the fairway for eagle during a seven-hole stretch that he played in 7-under par. Steve Stricker won the opening match and Phil Mickelson built a big lead to win late. Then came Fowler, the first PGA Tour rookie to play in the Ryder

Cup, winning the last three holes with birdies — including putts of 15 feet on the 17th and 18th — to earn an improbable halve against Edoardo Molinari. That gave the Americans 13 1/2 points, and they only needed a halve in the last match to retain the cup. Just as Fowler was being mobbed by his teammates, Mahan made a nervy birdie putt on the 15th to cut McDowell’s lead to 1 up. “The U.S. Open felt like a back nine with my dad back at Portrush compared to that,” McDowell said. “I Jon Super/AP was really nervous there. Wow! It’s a different feel- Europe’s Graeme McDowell holds up the troing. It’s just so much pres- phy after winning the 2010 Ryder Cup golf tournament Monday. sure.”

Miles says clock management addressed

BATON ROUGE, LA. (AP) — Les Miles is not going to apologize for celebrating LSU’s 16-14 victory over Tennessee last weekend, no matter how embarrassed he was by the wacky final sequence of plays. The LSU coach says he has to enjoy the effort the 12th-ranked Tigers made to amass 434 yards of offense, overcome a minus-4 turnover differential and execute the gamewinning touchdown to remain unbeaten. Miles says he can’t worry about what fans think of him, but can only hope they support the LSU program and get behind his players. Miles is claiming responsibility for a botched goal-line play that consumed the last 28 seconds of regulation and could have cost the Tigers a game if not for a Tennessee penalty. He says that’s been corrected by the staff.

Blown opportunities leave Colts 0-2

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are searching for answers after a second division loss. For the first time since the AFC South was created in 2002, Indianapolis is 0-2 against division foes and has lost two of its first four games for only the second time in six years. The Colts could be dealing with the ramifications of Sunday’s 31-28 loss to the Jaguars for months. The defense has struggled to stop the run all season and failed to pressure the quarterback the last two weeks. The offense had two turnovers inside the Jacksonville 10-yard line.

Titans coordinator fined $40,000

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil has been fined $40,000 by the NFL for an obscene gesture at game officials. The league on Monday said Cecil violated a rule that prohibits use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to game officials. Television cameras caught Cecil using his right hand to make the gesture when officials flagged his defense for a neutral zone infraction during the second quarter Sunday. The penalty gave Denver first-and-goal, and Kyle Orton threw a 2-yard touchdown pass on the next play for a 7-0 lead. Cecil declined comment after the game, a 26-20 loss in which the Titans were flagged 10 times for a season-high 111 yards in penalties.

Reds, Baker have deal

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds have completed a contract extension with manager Dusty Baker, a source familiar with the talks tells The Associated Press. The Reds are expected to announce the deal on Monday before they head to Philadelphia to begin their first playoff series in 15 years. The ballclub approached Baker about an extension during the season. He said last week that the two sides were closing in on a twoyear extension. Baker is only the second manager to lead different three National League teams to the playoffs. The Reds won the NL Central this season, which was the final year on Baker’s original contract.

Advice

Father’s anger towards mother turns to children

Zits

Dear Annie: I am 15 years old and the youngest of four children. My father and mother have had bickering matches for as long as I can remember. Their fights sometimes get physical, but not enough to do real harm. My mother has constantly tried to improve my father’s personality and parenting skills. He doesn’t understand how to communicate with his family, specifically his children. Each conversation includes rude comments, sarcastic remarks and hurtful words. Well, now the physical stuff has been directed at us. His reason for attacking us was because we were defending my mother from his fists. The fact that he knocked her hand off the steering wheel while she was driving only makes it worse. Annie, my father does not act like this in front of his parents or his friends. To them, he is perfect. But when he comes home, the littlest mistake will set him off. I am tired of this constant fighting, and my mother has told me she wants to go to a counselor. She tried that several years ago, and Dad refused, saying he wasn’t the problem. My mother works long hours, and I am afraid she won’t divorce him because she doesn’t have the money. How do I make this better? -- Terrified Teen Dear Teen: Honey, if your father is hitting you or your mother, he is an abuser. It’s not simply an anger issue, because he is capable of controlling himself in front of others. Your mother should seek counseling without him, and she or you can call

the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (ndvh. org) and ask for assistance. Please don’t wait. Dear Annie: Six of my old college friends (along with our husbands) met at our country club for lunch. It had been many years since we were together, and some of us had never met the others’ husbands. However, the men were gracious and sat at one end of the table so “the ladies” could catch up. One of the husbands is a minister. As the waitress was serving us, this man announced that he would be happy to “bless the meal.” We put down our cutlery and sat quietly while he prayed. Was it inappropriate for him to impose his level of religion on all of us? He had no idea if any of us was a practicing Christian, Jew, Muslim or atheist. No one asked him to say a blessing. Nonetheless, we complied with his “order” rather than making a scene. How should this have been handled? -Los Angeles Dear L.A.: You handled it perfectly. Instead of making an announcement, the minister should have asked if it was OK to bless the meal. But there wasn’t much you could do after the fact. You behaved with polite courtesy, allowing him to observe his beliefs while you sat quietly and waited

until he was finished. We assume the blessing was nondenominational, but if not, please inform the man’s wife that the blessing was inappropriate and potentially offensive for some. Dear Annie: I’d like to address your response to “Scared,” the young girl with a friend who cuts. As an ex-cutter, I’m glad you told this girl to continue to be a support for her friend. But I’m not sure suggesting she get some exercise will help. Although I understand it releases endorphins, this comment could further lower her self-esteem by making her think she needs to lose weight. Here are a couple of tricks that I found effective to stop cutting: snapping a rubber band around her wrist when she has the desire to cut, and squeezing ice in her palm until it numbs. Obviously, it is important to keep away from cutting tools and other triggers. Hope this advice helps. This girl certainly isn’t alone. -- Prior Cutter Dear Prior: Thanks for the additional suggestions. We know our readers appreciate them.
