Clerk finalists down to three

INSIDE

Steering Committee to conduct interviews on Thursday By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

SEVIERVILLE — Thursday is decision day for the County Commission’s Steering Committee as it pushes forward with the process to temporarily fill the post of county clerk, with a choice between two outsiders and a woman with 33

years in the clerk’s office. In a session set to last from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the group is expected to spend two hours of that interviewing the three candidates it narrowed its search down to. In the end, a vote will be held, with the winner among the trio moving forward with the group’s endorsement.

While that doesn’t guarantee the job, with the floor open during the County Commission’s Oct. 18 for nominations from any member of that full board, it has to be considered a big step toward securing the seat. Though the committee asked county staffers to draft questions for them to ask of the candidates,

County Mayor Larry Waters said as of Tuesday that process has not begun. However, he said he’s confident they’ll be ready by Thursday and that the group will be able to learn all it needs to about the finalists from among the 30 who applied for the job in the two-hour window. See clerk, Page A4

When Beverly Brosch of Gatlinburg was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2002, she became used to making the 45-minute drive to Knoxville for treatment. After she was given a clean bill of health by her oncologist five years later, she continued to make the trek for her yearly mammograms — until recently, thanks to this year’s opening of Dolly Parton Center for Women’s Services at LeConte Medical Center. “I was going to

“I’m grateful to live somewhere where the health care is so good. I have all the faith in the world in our doctors here, and people should feel confident about our services.” — Beverly Brosch

UT (Medical Center) for everything,” said Brosch, senior vice president of administration at Mountain National Bank. “It would take me all afternoon, at least. When I had my mammogram done here (at LeConte), I was there at 7:30 a.m. and walked out at five ’til’ eight. I thought, ‘If you have to have a mammogram,

this was the place to have it.’” Making the transition was a “big step” for her, however. “I was concerned about getting my records transferred. Dr. (Charles) Bozeman, who my husband and I have been seeing for 25 years, followed it all the way through. We’ve got so much confidence in him,

and I can’t say enough about how he coordinated it all.” It was “just a speck” on Brosch’s mammogram that was the first detection of breast cancer. After being referred to UT Medical Center, she had two surgeries — one was a lumpectomy and the other to take out lymph nodes. “The experience consumed a year of my life. Early detection was critical.” Brosch feels certain that her breast cancer was caused by an excess of estrogen from 15 years of estrogen theraSee cancer, Page A5

County Commission implementing new voting program By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — From now on the members of the County Commission will vote using a system that officials say will not only make things easier during its monthly meetings, but could also eliminate some bias from its decisions. The group is set to test an electronic voting program called Roll Call-Pro during a work session Thursday as practice for using it for the first time for real business during its Oct. 18 meeting. Not only will the system provide an accurate count of commissioners for and against each item, it will display the results immediately on screens in the meeting room. County leaders have been debating installing the new system for some time, talking with officials in Hamblen County on how a similar system there has worked. They say they’ve been reassured the program will benefit government here. “Hopefully it’s going to be a better system for See commission, Page A5

Commissioners will each have their own labeled remote to conduct business.

SEVIERVILLE — County Commissioner Gary Cole has withdrawn his name from consideration for the job of interim county clerk, just two days before the Steering Committee makes its choice about who it will recommend for the post. Cole was one of four finalists chosen by the group to interview during a session Thursday, but he sent a letter to county officials Tuesday asking that he no longer be considered for the job. The move, he said, is an effort to avoid any controversy that could surround his pursuing the post further. “The county clerk’s office has been the source of much public attention lately,” Cole wrote. “I do not wish to cause the good people of this county to experience any more undue concern from that office.” Cole’s words are apparently a reference to the Aug. 30 resignation of County Clerk Joe Keener, who left his post in the midst of a state investigation into theft and embezzlement allegations. They also relate to another incident Cole, who could not be reached by phone Tuesday afternoon, discusses in the letter. “Several months ago members of our County Commission were wrongfully accused by political malcontents of illegally appointing the late Sheriff Bruce Montgomery’s successor,” Cole writes. “This even resulted in frivolous lawsuits being filed. I understand a few innocent souls — who obviously did not follow the proceedings closely — believed there really was some wrongdoing by the county commissioners. These lawsuits were thrown out by the court, but they were costly and disruptive.” Though he doesn’t specifically say so, it seems Cole fears his own candidacy could create the same questions. Certainly if his fellow commissioners selected him to fill the job, that would easily open the door to questions about the process and conflicts of interest. While he’s out of the running for now, it seems Cole may not have given up on the possibility of serving in the office. “Two years from now I may seek to serve as county clerk by asking the voters to place me in that important office,” he writes, referencing a special election for Keener’s unexpired term set to be held in 2012. “At the present time, however, the people do not need any See cole, Page A4

Sevier County gets ag natural disaster designation for drought, excessive heat Submitted Report U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has granted a designation of natural disaster for agriculture for Sevier County as a result of drought and excessive heat during the growing season. “While some Tennessee farmers have experienced flooding

this year, others have suffered a lack of rainfall,” said Gov. Phil Bredesen. “I’m pleased farmers in these areas have this opportunity for federal assistance to help them recover from a difficult growing season.” The disaster designation makes farmers in affedted counties eligible to apply

for low-interest loans and supplemental farm payments through their local Farm Service Agency. Farmers have reported crop losses exceeding 30 percent in most cases for corn, soybeans, tobacco, hay and pastures as a result of inadequate rainfall during critical periods for crop development.

NASHVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The head of the Tennessee State Employees Association said Tuesday that the group will turn to election candidates for support in getting a pay increase after learning they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a one-time pay supplement that officials promised.

With Commissioner Gary Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement Tuesday heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s withdrawing himself from consideration, the field of three was whittled down to Chief Deputy Clerk Karen Cotter, who is serving now as clerk, Dale Bullock and Lisa Verble. While two of those are relative outsiders and Cotter hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been very public in her role in the office, the rĂŠsumĂŠs each candidate provided do shed a little light on who the would-be clerks are, though. Among those may very likely be the person who will hold the job at least until a special election is held in 2012 and possibly even beyond, the remainder of former County Clerk Joe Keenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term, which he resigned at the end of August amid a state theft and embezzlement investigation.

The bid by Cole had drawn some criticism, including from online readers of The Mountain Press. Those folks were already concerned there could be issues with asking the commissioners to consider without bias whether one of their own should have the job, though Cole insists he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discussed his effort with any of the other officials and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask anyone for the favor of a vote. Word of Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dropping out of the push to fill the post shocked some county officials as word of the letter spread quickly through County Commission committee meetings Tuesday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little bit surprised,â&#x20AC;? County Mayor Larry Waters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard Gary was considering seeking the job, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know he was until I saw his rĂŠsumĂŠ in the stack.

As a show of just how long she has served the county, every bit of the work experience on Cotterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rĂŠsumĂŠ is from the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. She started there in 1977 as a deputy clerk, handling car registrations, decal renewals and marriage licenses. Within five years she was promoted to chief deputy clerk, a title she holds to this day. She lists the two turns as the clerk, sandwiching additional years as chief deputy clerk. In that job, Cotter says she helped run the office, even including money handling and book balancing in the Atchley years. Curiously, those tasks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t included in the description of her duties after Keenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election in 1992. County officials speaking anonymously say they believe Keener took over all those jobs himself and insist theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident Cotter had no knowledge of any alleged wrongdoing in the office.

Gitmo hunger striker eats after five years

state/nation/world briefs Teen shot over sagging pants

MEMPHIS (AP) — A 45-year-old man angry over two teens’ sagging pants fired several shots at them during an argument, hitting one in the buttocks on Sept. 25, police said. He now faces aggravated assault charges. Two male teens were walking to a house in southeast Memphis where a woman sells candy when Kenneth E. Bonds yelled at them to pull up their pants, police Sgt. Ron Perry said in an arrest document. Perry said the teens refused and the three began arguing in the street. Bonds then brandished a semi-automatic pistol and threatened to shoot the teens. Bonds fired one shot but missed, Perry said. As the teens ran away, Bonds fired several more rounds and hit a 17-year-old in the rear. The bullet exited through the teen’s thigh, and he went to a hospital in non-critical condition, Perry said. The other teen was not injured.

sometimes even a dog or cat. But the 18-foot Bermese python that firefighters had to drag out of a burning Rhode Island home just after midnight Monday may have been a first. Acting Chief Peter Henrikson tells The Providence Journal that it took two firefighters to carry out the python with a diameter like a “Frisbee” in the middle. The home’s sole occupant managed to escape on his own and brought out his two dogs and a cat.

Firefighters let home burn over fee

SOUTH FULTON (AP) — Firefighters in a far western Tennessee city let a mobile home burn to the ground because the owner didn’t pay an annual $75 fire protection fee, authorities say. Jeff Vowell, city manager of South Fulton, told the Union City Daily Messenger that the city fire department let Gene Cranick’s trailer home near the Kentucky border burn last week because he didn’t pay the subscription common in many rural areas. Cranick’s doublewide home is outside city limits. But South Fulton offers fire protection to nearby residents for a fee and once the fire threatened to spread, the department did protect a neighboring house that had paid. Cranick’s son, Timothy, was so angry he later went to the fire house and punched the chief, police said. The younger Cranick was charged with aggravated assault and is free on bond, according to authorities.

Treasury cuts bailout price tag

WASHINGTON (AP) — The $700 billion financial bailout will cost about $50 billion, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. The price tag was included in a report on the twoyear program and is lower than earlier projections — including a $66 billion estimate this summer by the Congressional Budget Office. Treasury notes in the report that the bailout, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, helped stabilize the financial system and prevent a deeper crisis. It says independent economists credit the program with preventing economic collapse. Treasury’s powers under the law expired on Sunday. The report reviews its actions over two years to rescue failing banks, automakers and others. The law passed in October 2008 with support from lawmakers in both parties and the Bush administration.

Fire damages Knox apartments

KNOXVILLE (AP) — An early morning fire has heavily damaged some apartments in western Knox County. The blaze broke out before dawn Tuesday at Sunchase Apartments. It was reported two units were destroyed and four others were damaged. The building contains 21 units. Rural/Metro Battalion Chief Jeff Devlin says the flames had spread through the attic and were rising about 20 feet above the building when firefighters arrived. No injuries were reported. The Red Cross was working with displaced residents to find shelter for them.

us,” County Mayor Larry Waters says. “I think it’s going to be a positive not just for the commission but also for the citizens of the county. It will provide that accurate record that folks can go back to when they want to know how a vote went.” Installed at a cost of $19,000, which the commission budgeted for this year, the system gives each commissioner a remote control that will allow them to register everything from their presence to their desire to address the board to their preferences on the issue at hand. Those votes will be tallied by the program and displayed on video screens already installed in the courtroom that hosts the commission’s sessions. As opposed to the way the board currently conducts its business, county officials say the new equipment will reduce any potential for prejudice in the votes based on the way the commissioners vote. “As it is now (the commissioners) hear each vote as it’s cast, so it’s no different than if they stood out in the hall before the meeting and talked about how they’re going to vote,” Assistant County Mayor Greg Patterson explains. “With the new system, they won’t be announcing those votes, so they won’t know how the other commissioners are voting until the end when it’s shown on the screen.” That change could mean commissioners aren’t influenced by how their compatriots have cast their ballots or by how the tally is going when their turn comes, Patterson says. While he’s not suggesting that necessarily happens now, the system eliminates the

BRUSSELS (AP) — Japan declared an end Tuesday to a dispute with China over a high-seas collision last month and the two countries agreed to resume exchanges and projects that had been stopped because of the incident. The breakthrough came after the prime ministers of the two countries held an impromptu after-dinner meeting in the corridor of an Asia-Europe summit. But the Sino-Japan dispute over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea that led to the maritime clash last month remained unresolved, with both countries claiming possession.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A Guantanamo prisoner who has been on a hunger strike for more than five years is occasionally eating solid food, but is still underweight and suffering from a medical condition likely caused by his protest, officials say in recently filed court documents. Saudi prisoner Abdul Rahman Shalabi has begun to ease the detention center’s longest hunger strike by eating sporadically — and at times surreptitiously — though he is still classified as a hunger striker and is fed with a liquid nutrient mix through a nasal tube at the center hospital, military officials said in documents filed Monday with a court in Washington. Shalabi has been held at Guantanamo since January 2002 following his capture by Pakistani troops at the Afghanistan border. The U.S. government has said he is suspected of being a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden, but he has not been charged. He denies any affiliation with alQaida and his attorneys have asked a judge to order that he be returned to his country. Shalabi has begun to eat such things as pasta, bread, cake, seafood, baklava, cookies, peanut butter, cheese and ice cream, said Navy Capt. Monte Bible, who commands the Joint Medical Group at Guantanamo, in an affidavit that accompanies a government motion to prevent medical experts hired by the prisoner’s attorneys from being dispatched to examine and treat him at the U.S. base in Cuba.

69 applications for top UT job KNOXVILLE (AP) — There are 69 applicants for the president’s job at the University of Tennessee and there could be others by the Wednesday deadline to apply. A list of applicants was released Tuesday by the university. The deadline to apply for the post is today and Hank Dye, a spokesman for UT, said more applications were possible. An examination of the list by the newspaper showed that among the

applicants are university presidents and deans, company CEOs, a state legislator and a former superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy. The list “includes a wide variety of applicants, some a lot less qualified than others,” said university spokesman Hank Dye. “As we come to the process of airing that list, there are some good candidates in the mix already, and it’s certainly possible others will be added by Wednesday.” The search committee

is expected to winnow the applications to between three and five. Most committee members are trustees and administrators. The finalists will be invited to Knoxville for interviews and the search committee will endorse some or all of them and send the finalists to the university Board of Trustees, which is scheduled to vote on Oct. 22. The search firm Witt/ Kieffer has been finding candidates and the newspaper reported some

of the candidates are clearly the result of that effort, including a Johns Hopkins University dean, who was a finalist for the presidential job at the University of Arizona. Others on the list are UT Institute of Agriculture Chancellor Joe DiPietro, who told his employees on Friday that he had applied, and state Rep. Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee which is charged with crafting the state budget.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne is facing the music after being accused of breaking jail rules by having gear for listening to tunes: He can expect to go solo for the rest of his time behind bars in a gun case. T h e Lil Wayne Grammy Awardwinning rapper was moved Monday into what city jail officials call “punitive segregation” for a month, until his expected November release date, Correction Department spokesman Stephen Morello said. It’s his punishment for stashing a charger and headphones for a digital music player in his cell earlier this year, officials said.

commentary

No joy in Washington these days President John F. Kennedy in 1963 gave his White House special assistant and close personal friend, Dave Powers, a silver beer mug for his birthday, on which was inscribed: “There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension. So we must do what we can with the third.” Kennedy could heed his own counsel. In a presidential press conference when a reporter asked: “There’s a feeling in some quarters, sir, that Big Business is forcing you to come to terms. Businessmen seem to have the attitude, ‘Now we have you where we want you.’” Kennedy’s spontaneous retort, “I can’t believe I’m where Big Business wants me,” left the room in laughter. By contrast, Washington today is a melancholy place. Yes, the broken economy continues to inflict immense pain and fear throughout the nation. But then, the Soviets’ erection of the Berlin Wall and the Cuban missile crisis pushed the world toward nuclear war. Can anyone recall even a semi-memorable self-deprecating line, poking fun at himself, spoken by President Obama? To the outside observer, this White House reflects no joy. When the president’s most important advisors are interviewed, they invariably wear frowns while regularly faulting the shallowness of the press, especially television news, along with the pint-sized attention span of Washingtonians. They look dyspeptic and leave the unmistakable impression they would prefer to be working and living someplace, make that any place, else other than the District of Columbia. Vice President Joe Biden, who mostly seems delighted to be where he is, professionally and geographically, is the conspicuous exception. True, Washington and the federal government are both profoundly unpopular across the country. But the Democrats, whether they like it or not, have a long history of championing a strong, constructive role for the national government. Republicans are the anti-government party. If the contest in 2010 or beyond is simply over which party dislikes Washington or the federal government more, Democrats lose and Republicans win. From your own personal experience, whom would you prefer to sit next to in your own car pool? Someone who is upbeat and obviously enjoys and values what she is doing, or some dour soul who reminds us of H.L. Mencken’s definition of the puritan — someone who is haunted by the fear that someone somewhere may be happy? Nearly every administration in some way makes us smile. In 1962, Vaughn Meader, a 26-year-old stand-up comic, perfectly mimicked JFK’s accent on a recording that spoofed the Kennedys and which sold 1.2 albums in its first two weeks of release and 7.5 million overall. Comedians Rich Little and Jim Morris both captured Ronald Reagan’s distinctive style, and Little and David Frye almost made Richard Nixon funny. President Gerry Ford (who insisted that his Republican challenger in 1976, Ronald Reagan, did not dye his hair but instead that it was just “prematurely orange”) made comedian Chevy Chase a star. Who does not grin when reminded of Dana Carvey’s brilliant George H.W. Bush, Darrell Hammond’s Bill Clinton or Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush? Because the Obama presidency is neither humorous nor apparently much fun, the latenight comedians have produced few humorous one-liners about the administration. But far more important is the sullen mood from the White House, which directly infects the federal city and indirectly the general populace. Let me offer this blunt advice to those in the White House: Yes, you are making enormous sacrifices — personal and, perhaps, professional — to work long hours under intense pressure while subjected to unfair criticism. But just think how lucky you are to be able to contribute and, possibly, make this a world a little more just. There are thousands of people, in greater Washington alone, who would give a limb to be able to do what you do every day. Do yourself and the nation a favor: Be grateful; be enthusiastic; be hopeful; be cheerful. Dare to smile and, occasionally even, to laugh at yourself. It makes a difference. — Mark Shields is a veteran political campaign manager and frequent television talk show commentator. Column distributed by Creators Syndicate. (C)2009 Mark Shields.

The good fight Breast Cancer Awareness Month support appreciated It may be the most feared cancer women can get. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the United States, after skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 192,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the U.S. this year. Some 40,000 women will die this year from the disease. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States. Tackling this dreaded disease has become a priority in many communities, including Sevier County. Not long ago a Pigeon Forge student got cheerleaders and players to wear pink items to showcase the disease and the need for money for research. Pink is the adopted color for breast cancer awareness. Last weekend several local winer-

ies held their annual Stomp Out Breast Cancer fundraiser. Women are understandably worried about developing breast cancer, and most of us know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both breasts. It usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast. The disease is about 100 times more common among women, but some men do contract it. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among men in the United States in 2010. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus attention on the disease and mobilize forces to fight it. The first observance

took place in October 1985 as a weeklong event. Today, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month organization includes several national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies working in partnership to build awareness, share information and provide access to screening services. Thanks to all the groups and businesses that hold events during this special month. And women must do their part to protect themselves. That includes: It is important for women to practice the elements of good breast health. It is suggested women: n Regular mammography screening starting at the age of 40 n Annual clinical breast exams n Monthly breast-self exams n Getting a risk assessment from a physician

Political view

Public forum Pigeon Forge police thankful for Safety Day event support

Editor: It is now in order to thank everyone for the hard work and effort that went into the recent Safety Day at Walgreens in Pigeon Forge. Let me start by thanking all the people that stepped up and helped. Without them, this event would not have been a success. Thanks to Walgreens, Panther Creek Cycles, LeConte Medical Center, Sevier County Animal Shelter, Pigeon Forge Fire Department, A+A Party Rentals and Tennessee State Bank.

These people helped and contributed in our efforts to show the community about safety. The biggest thank you goes to the fine people in the community that came out and let us dispose of the unneeded drugs and medications that posed a health concern to all. We would truly like to thank you for your time in doing this small but huge lifesaving task. It is because of your efforts that we were able to dispose of over four pounds of harmful medications and drugs. That is a huge number for our area, Donnie Mashburn Pigeon Forge Police Dept.

Limiting left turns entering Dolly Parton Parkway advised

Editor: Regarding the proposed traffic light at the Food City in Sevierville, I shop there about three times a week and have never had a problem with “jams.” Installing a light would back up the traffic (at times) to Gary Wade Boulevard, trust me. A better solution would be to allow no left turns coming out of the area. Actually, allowing no left turns anywhere onto Dolly Parton would prevent a lot of problems. Harold Baker Sevierville

Sevier volleyball earns yet another conference win By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Sevier County’s Sydney Duncan (15) goes up for a shot Tuesday night. NFL GRIDIRON

SEVIERVILLE — It’s now 16 days and counting since the Sevier County High School Smoky Bearettes volleyball team last lost a single set. Although the Bearettes (23-8 overall, 8-1 in District 2-AAA) have been in some dog fights and have been come-from-behind winners on several occasions the past couple of weeks, Sevier County swept its seventhconsecutive volleyball match Tuesday night against visiting District 2-AAA rival South-Doyle Lady Cherokees by 25-11, 28-26 and 25-15 finals. The last set the Smoky Bearettes lost came in a 3-1 match win over district rival Cherokee Lady Chiefs on Monday, Sept. 20. Sevier County extended its match winning streak to nine straight. The Bearettes last match loss came against the No. 1 overall District 2-AAA team Morristown

West Lady Trojans in a fiveset heartbreaker on the road in Hamblen County. The Bearettes also completed the regular season with a perfect 13-0 record at home. “We’ve been fortunate, and we’ve had to come from behind sometimes,” said SCHS coach Billy Ward, following Tuesday’s win. “I’ll give these girls a lot of credit. At crunch time, they’ve found a way to make sure they pull together and pull off a victory. “That doesn’t help my ulcers a whole lot, but that’s alright.” Up next for the Smoky Bearettes is their season finale at county and district rival Seymour Lady Eagles 6 p.m. Thursday night. The showdown between the two rival schools will likely determine the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds from the South Division of the district. SCHS won a 3-2 squeaker over the Lady Eagles earlier this season on Sept. 14. “It’s going to be Senior

Night at Seymour ..., and I know it’s going to be a fun environment,” said Ward. “This is when high school ball is fun. “I hope it’s going to be a big crowd, and I hope that some of our fans follow us down the road. We get to play a county school for a championship game, and that’s where the fun begins.” The Bearettes are looking to become the first volleyball team in school history to advance past the district tournament, which begins this coming Monday. Ward said he expects Thursday’s match against Seymour to be a good final tune-up just before postseason play begins. “We’ve had some tough battles, and hopefully that will pay off for us right here at district tournament time,” said Ward. Jessica Dixon led Tuesday’s effort with 11 points, 11 digs and a kill. Autumn Turner, the SCHS libero player, was also a factor with six digs and a kill.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

MLB playoffs start tonight By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

Tennessee running back Chris Johnson (28), right, attempts to gain the edge on a rushing play against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in this Sept. 19 file photo. Johnson gained just 34 yards that day.

Gameplan vs. Titans: Shut down RB Chris Johnson By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — Tennessee running back Chris Johnson’s No. 28 might as well be a glowing red bull’s eye — at least to defenses. No NFL defense wants to be gashed by the last player to run for 2,000 yards in a season, and beating Tennessee starts — and stops — with slowing down the speedy Johnson. It’s working so far this season too. The Titans (2-2) have won each of the two games where Johnson ran for more than 100 yards, and both losses came when defenses held him under that mark. The Dallas Cowboys (1-2) get their turn next on Sunday, and linebacker Keith Brooking says Johnson is the man they must stop for a simple reason: The running back can score anytime he touches the ball. “We talk all the time about everybody being where they’re supposed to be,” Brooking said. “If you got one guy who is not doing what they’re supposed to do, a guy like that will absolutely crease you and he’s out the gate. When he gets out in the open ... we’ve got some good ath-

letes in our defense, but there’s nobody that’s going to catch him.” Johnson likely made himself an even bigger target for defenses when he proclaimed his goals for 2010 included not only topping Eric Dickerson’s NFL single season rushing mark of 2,105 yards but 2,500, a number more easily reached by quarterbacks. Just like the last half of 2009 as Johnson ran for 2,006 yards, defenses through the first four games stacked eight and nine players near the line of scrimmage to contain him. Denver linebacker Robert Ayers said the Broncos keyed on Johnson in their 26-20 win last week with outside linebackers blitzing to keep him contained. They held him to 53 yards on 19 carries. “We knew if we could slow him down that it would be good things to happen to us,” Ayers said. Fullback Ahmard Hall said that’s what the Titans will keep seeing from defenses year in and year out as long as they have Johnson. “He knows everybody’s keying on him,” Hall said. “He has a big target on his back being the best back in the league. It’s just going to take patience, and eventually we’re going to get it

done.” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said defenses aren’t necessarily scheming up any new approaches to stop Johnson. “We’re getting a little more edges. We played two odd fronts, 3-4 fronts. You know with the big linebackers up there it’s hard to get the ball bounced outside. It will come, I have confidence in our offensive players and our backs and our staff that we’ll get it turned around. We still ran for 122 yards,” Fisher said. Brooking noticed six or seven Broncos around the ball at all times last week, and pride is involved. “Us 11 guys, we’re not going to let this guy get out of the gate and off to the races, to beat us on one play.” Dallas coach Wade Phillips also is reminding his Cowboys about making sure to take the right angle if Johnson breaks loose. “He can change direction really well too for a guy that runs that’s fast,” Phillips said. “Normally really fast guys run like a track guy where it’s one foot in front of the other rather than being able to move from side to side. He runs with his feet a little wider than a normal real fast guy and that enables him to cut faster.”

Bobby Cox will get one more try in October. No tiebreaker needed. What could’ve turned into a real tangle of a playoff picture became clear Sunday: Cox and his wild-card Atlanta Braves will face the San Francisco Giants, while the San Diego Padres are finished. Major League Baseball was looking at the possibility of a three-team, two-day John Bazemore/AP round of games to sort out all the postseason slots — fun for fans, a scramble Atlanta Braves manager Bobby for players.

Kansas incident shows folly of NASCAR Chase NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form of a playoff is one of the oddest in all of sports. Over the course of the final ten races there are twelve drivers who race for the right to be crowned Sprint Cup champion. However, unlike sports such as baseball, football and basketball, all competitors continue to run in each of those final ten events whether they are eligible for the title or not. In those other sports, the teams to make the playoffs continue on while the others have their seasons end when the playoffs begin. One of the dangers with the NASCAR system

ings. He is 80 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson. Immediately after the second incident Busch had some pointed words over his in-car radio for those in authority who might be listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a serious problem with what just happened there and no one in the tower is going to do a thing about it,â&#x20AC;? the frustrated driver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a meeting afterwards.â&#x20AC;? For his part, Reutimann had some strong words for Busch and any of the other eleven Chase contenders who might happen

to cross paths with him over the course of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final seven races. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drivers in the Chase need to think about who they wreck,â&#x20AC;? he said in a post race interview. Television cameras showed Busch storming from his car in the garage area after the race and marching toward Reutimannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage space. However, nothing came of it as the title contender was headed off at the pass and sent back to his hauler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guy got loose and came up off the bottom and I got into him unintentionally,â&#x20AC;? Busch

conceded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my fault, 100% my fault, but unintentional.â&#x20AC;? As long as NASCAR insists on sticking with the Chase for the Championship format(and sadly enough they are going to stick with it) then this type of thing will always be a possibility. Stuff like what happened on Sunday in Kansas just goes to show how silly it is to name someone as champion for an entire season just because they scored the most points over the course of the final ten races. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; To contact me please visit my website at RacingWithRich.com.

Presnell records top-10 Pro Cup Series finish SEVIERVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the span of three weeks, Dylan Presnell of Sevierville has raced at two of the most-storied venues in motorsports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fastest Half-Mileâ&#x20AC;? at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he recordedanimpressiveeighth-place finish last month when the USARacing Pro Cup Series visited East Tennessee, and Sunday at North Wilkesboro Speedway. The 15-year-old Presnell bettered his previous series run with a top-10 finish at North Wilkesboro Speedway, coming home in seventh-place and completing all 250 laps. The top 14 cars in the Brushy Mountain 250 finished on the lead lap. The Historic North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway was once a mainstay on the NASCAR Winston Cup Series schedule, but with the series making the move from small-town venues in the late 1990s for the socalled glamour of big city racing in larger media markets around the country, the facility has weathered with time. But the rebirth of the track in 2010 was well received by fans and competitors alike during the first weekend of October for the running of a triple-header featuring the United Speed Alliance Racing Pro Cup Series, NASCAR Whelen-style Modifieds and Street Stocks. Famed legendary former NASCAR racers were in attendance such as Harry Gant and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabama Gangâ&#x20AC;? members Bobby and Donnie Allison, with each taking place in pre- and post-race festivities for the Brushy Mountain 250. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, we had another awesome USARacing Pro Cup Series run at North Wilkesboro Speedway,â&#x20AC;? said the Sevier County High School freshman on Monday from his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to race these last two Pro Cup events at Bristol and North Wilkesboro, with all the history those places have in motorsports, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just

With the car good but thinking they could get it better, Presnell pitted during the first caution period, where the crew made a slight chassis adjustment. Back under green, Presnell ran quicker lap times but was also cautious in taking

the day even at 95-66, with both teams already guaranteed playoff spots. To win the AL East, the Yankees needed to finish ahead of the Rays, who held the tiebreaker after winning the season series 10-8. In the ninth inning of the Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game at Kansas City, the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss was posted on the scoreboard. Tampa Bay players briefly

care of the tires on the AmericanMountainRentals. com (Smoky Mountain Cabins - Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN), Goulds Pumps, Smoky Mountain Supply of Pigeon Forge, Clearwater Drilling Co. of Sevierville, Mac Hill Motorsports, No. 83 Chevrolet Impala, as he worked his way forward from the rear of the field. Within 40 laps, Presnell had methodically picked his way around cars and moved up to 10th in the running order. Pit strategy became important in an event which produced a total of six caution periods. During each caution the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led by crew chief Tony Lambert and car chief Dinky Torbett, with Shawn Treadway spotting high above the track for driver Presnell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kept tweaking on the car to fine-tune the setup for what they hoped would be a top-10 finish on the day. Poised for a strong run with 75 laps remaining and following a caution, Presnell lined up third for the restart. Back under green flag racing he stayed inside the top five for about 30 circuits before dropping a few positions. Battling with second-inpoints Caleb Holman, Lucas Ransone, Stephen Nasse, Logan Ruffin and Chase Elliott (son of 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Bill Elliott), Presnell finished in seventh just three feet from edging out Ruffin for sixth at the checkers. Presnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run from starting 14th to finishing seventh earned the â&#x20AC;&#x153;young gunâ&#x20AC;? the WIX Filters Hard Charger award worth $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, we had a good battle going on there with several cars for position over the final 25 laps or so,â&#x20AC;? Presnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There towards the end, everybody was kind of holding on to their cars with all they had due to tire wear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole weekend, all the talk taking place in the garage area was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tire conservationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

exchanged high-fives, then rushed onto the field after closing out a 3-2 win in 12 innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a little of the tension off,â&#x20AC;? Rays manager Joe Maddon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to win this game. How â&#x20AC;&#x2122;bout that? Extra innings, on the road, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to win. It tells you something about our ballclub.â&#x20AC;? The Yankees and Rays both had plenty of chances to pull away in the last week or two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be stupid to

say it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how you finish. We would have liked to get this thing done, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the world champs until someone knocks us off.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be CC Sabathia against the Twinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Francisco Liriano in Game 1, the first postseason game at new Target Field. The Yankees were 4-2 against Minnesota this year. Rays star David Price opposes Cliff Lee in their opener. Maybe the aces

can stop another slugfest: Tampa Bay went 4-2 against the Rangers this season, outscoring them 40-31 overall. Roy Halladay will make his first playoff start when the two-time defending NL champion Phillies host Edinson Volquez and NL Central champion Cincinnati, back in the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Philadelphia was 5-2 against the Reds, including a four-game sweep at home in July.

and how you really were going to have take care of the rubber on your car. That was so true, because over the years the asphalt surface has really weathered a lot at North Wilkesboro Speedway and it was very abrasive on the tires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, though, I think we did a pretty good job managing the tires on the car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A top five finish wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been great, but really for no more experience than I have in this type of car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to finish in seventh is a good run for us. In running my Late Model Stock Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not accustomed to racing 250 laps like these Pro Cup Series events are, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to kind of have a different

mindset to run these longer distance races. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still learning, I guess. We had a really good car, and getting to drive the Mac Hill Motorsports car these past two races at Bristol Motor Speedway and North Wilkesboro Speedway, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been awesome. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ran really well, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a blast. When you run good and are competitive itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.â&#x20AC;? Presnell will take next weekend off from racing as he gears up for the big season-ending Pro All Stars Series South â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mason-Dixon Meltdownâ&#x20AC;? at Newport Speedway, a 200-lap event on Friday and Saturday,

Oct. 15-16, which will see many of the top Super Late Model racers from around the country present for the big purse event. To contact Presnell Motorsports, located in Sevierville, call 453-9330. For more, see the web at www. DylanPresnell.com.

NCAA has new strategy for hoops refs INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA thinks it has a corporate solution for all those college basketball coaches upset with inconsistent calls. On Tuesday, the national governing body said it had formed limited liability companies for officials in hopes of putting all the rules under one consistent banner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way a game is called in the West should be no different than a game in the East,â&#x20AC;? Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference commissioner Rich Ensor said in a statement released by the NCAA. He chaired the task force that came up with the plan to form the two limited liability corporations. One perception is that the Big East and Big Ten permit more rugged play during the conference season than is typically allowed during the NCAA tournament, and that can hurt those teams when it comes to postseason play. NCAA officials are hoping that they can better coordinate points of emphasis and consistency of calls.

Parent feels chearleading tryouts were biased

Dear Annie: Last night, my daughter’s high school held tryouts for cheerleading. Many girls and their parents were shocked by the actions of the cheer coach, who advanced her own sophomore daughter and six of her daughter’s friends to the varsity level, thereby cutting experienced juniors and seniors. This screams of nepotism. The coach refused to show the score sheets to justify her decisions. These same girls got together with the coach over the summer to practice, and they were grouped together for the tryouts, which gave them a tremendous advantage. I am livid and want this coach fired. Should we ask for tryouts to be held again? The problem is, some girls who made the junior varsity squad do not really have the skills, but there were seven spots that needed to be filled due to the mass exodus of those sophomores who were moved to the varsity squad. I don’t know how to make this fair. Any suggestions? -- Sad in Maryland Dear Maryland: If the coach has total control over who makes the squad, there may not be much you can do. However, we suggest you and some of the other angry parents approach the principal and register your complaint as a group. We hope the principal cares enough about the school’s reputation to see that tryouts are fair and, if necessary, to put safeguards in place to avoid accusations of favoritism. Whether or not that means the sophomores are back on the junior varsity squad is not your call.

Dear Annie: My older sister was 10 years old when I was born. She resented me from the beginning, and I cannot remember her ever speaking a kind word. When she moved out of the house, all communication was through Mom. That is how she kept up with my life. I was never considered part of her family. She made it clear she was too good for me. Whenever I made an effort to see her, she wouldn’t speak to me. She would only watch TV while I sat there. Now I have been informed by one of her daughters that she has a few months to live, and that I should hurry to her town if I want to see her before she dies. I am no youngster myself. I have no desire to see her, and besides, I’m getting too old to drive. My question is: Should I feel guilty? -Too Late To Care Dear Too Late: It doesn’t sound as if you have much to feel guilty about. You are not obligated to make this trip, particularly if it is too difficult for you. However, if you wish to maintain a relationship with your nieces, it might mean a great deal to them that you made the effort to say goodbye. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt to phone. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “The Girlfriend,” who resented her live-in boyfriend’s 14-year-old

bratty daughter. She said the girl is a “guest” in her home. I thought that was terribly sad. It is hard enough to be a 14-year-old girl, with the angst and hormones and everything that goes along with puberty. But this child has seen her parents divorce and her home torn apart, and every other weekend, she has to visit her father in this woman’s home where she is not wanted. “The Girlfriend” has no compassion. She expects gratitude from the child, yet states she wants her boyfriend to entertain his daughter on his own for a day and then return her to the mother without letting her stay overnight. I am sure the girl would like to have a home where she is welcomed. Most 14-yearolds haven’t learned all the social graces. That boyfriend ought to get his own place and make a home where his daughter can visit him in peace, and where he can be a father to a girl who is already hurting. “The Girlfriend” needs a boyfriend without children so she can have him all to herself. She doesn’t know how to be a mother. -- M.J. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Times Square bomber still defiant; is sentenced to life By TOM HAYS Associated Press Writer NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Pakistani immigrant who tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison by a judge who said she hopes he spends time behind bars thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people.â&#x20AC;? A defiant Faisal Shahzad smirked as he was given a mandatory life term that, under federal sentencing rules, will keep him behind bars until he dies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m given 1,000 lives I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah,â&#x20AC;? he said at the start of a statement that lasted several minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I be judged by a court that does not understand the suffering of my people?â&#x20AC;? Shahzad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; brought into the Manhattan courtroom in handcuffs and wearing a white skull cap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had instructed his attorney not to speak, and U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum told prosecutors she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hear from them. That left Shahzad and the judge free to spar over his reasoning for giving up his comfortable life in America to train in Pakistan and carry out a potentially deadly attack in the heart of Times Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You appear to be someone who was capable of education and I do hope you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people,â&#x20AC;? Cedarbaum told Shahzad after she announced his mandatory life sentence. Shahzad, a 31-year-old former budget analyst from Connecticut who was born in Pakistan, responded that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quran gives us the right to defend. And

Afterward, the head of the FBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New York office, Janice K. Fedarcyk, cited evidence that Shahzad hoped to strike more than once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shahzad built a mobile weapon of mass destruction and hoped and intended that it would kill large numbers of inno-

cent people and planned to do it again two weeks later,â&#x20AC;? Fedarcyk said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sentence imposed today means Shahzad will never pose that threat again.â&#x20AC;? Calling himself a Muslim solider, a defiant Shahzad pleaded guilty in June to 10 terrorism and weapons counts.
