SEVIERVILLE — Though former President George W. Bush’s visit to Sevier County scheduled for today has generated plenty of buzz, local historians point out it’s far from the first time the area has played host to such a visiting dignitary. Bush will be speaking this evening at the Sevierville Events Center to a conference put on by Phil Waldrep Ministries. Perhaps the most well-known trip here by a guest is Franklin Roosevelt’s 1940 visit to dedicate Great Smoky Mountains National Park, recently commemorated during the park’s 75th anniversary. Still, there have been plenty of notables to visit Sevier County, Smoky Mountain Historical Society President Chase Pipes says.
“Certainly having the former president here is a historically exciting event, but we get famous people coming to Sevier County all the time,” Pipes says. “We have the most-visited national park and there are a lot of people who meet here and have conventions here. Why would the president not want to come here?” Bush will join a long line of former presidents who have made appearances in Sevier County, with Pipes confirming Bush’s father George H.W. Bush visited the area after his term in the White House and Ronald Reagan making a similar trip following his departure from the presidency. All three of those men were scheduled to visit the county during their presidencies, but through a variety of happenstance Roosevelt remains the only See BUSH, Page A4

Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, watches his coin toss, as do officials and New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys players before an NFL game Sept. 20, in Arlington, Texas. Bush will speak tonight at the Sevierville Events Center.
Above, emergency personnel extricate the male driver of a Ford Taurus SE after a head-on collision on Old Newport Highway Tuesday afternoon. The driver was flown by Lifestar in critical condition. The Sevier County Volunteer Fire Department, Sevier County Rescue Squad, Sevier County Sheriff’s Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded to the scene
SEVIERVILLE — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted Monday for another emergency purchase for the beleaguered Indian Warpath pump station. The Board agreed to pay $31,209 for the purchase and delivery of a new submersible chopper pump for the sewer pump station after one of the two that are built in to the new station broke down. Steve Flynn, director of the sewer and water department, said they used a portable pump to replace the one that malfunctioned while it was being repaired, but he believed they should purchase a replacement to have available in case it happened again. The pump station at Indian Warpath off Boyd’s Creek Highway failed several years ago, causing sewage to spill out into nearby waterways and property. It has since been replaced. Also Monday, the board: n Voted to use funds from the state department of transportation to pay for improvements to improvements to East Dumplin Valley Road up to the Lisega factory site n Authorized an application for a state grant for the city’s trolley program n Voted on second reading to adopt a revised municipal flood damage prevention ordinance n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

At right, the male driver of the Mazda pick up truck involved in the wreck was sitting by the road when emergency personnel arrived and he was transported by ambulance.
Sevierville police seek help finding man charged with stalking youth By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Sevierville police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man they say had been trying to look through the window of the room of an 11-yearold girl. They have charged Jeronimo Alonso Martinez, 32, of Sevierville, with aggravated stalking. The charge is
elevated to aggravated stalking, a Class E felony, because of the age of the victim, said Bob Martinez Stahlke, p u b l i c information officer for the city. The girl’s parents believed that a man had been trying to look into
her bedroom window, and eventually spotted a person matching Martinez’s description outside the window, Stahlke said. “A parent saw his face,” Stahlke said. Martinez is described as an Hispanic man, approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall and 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Police asked that anySee POLICE, Page A4

UT president says office will stay in Knoxville KNOXVILLE (AP) — University of Tennessee President Jan Simek says moving his office to the UT Conference Center is “a good possibility.� It was reported Simek met with faculty, then with students on Tuesday on the Knoxville campus as part of his annual statewide UT system tour. Simek earlier announced his intention to move the president’s office from the UT-Knoxville campus to help counter the perception of favoritism. The conference center is in downtown Knoxville and Simek said the office will remain in the city. Simek said he hasn’t made a final decision on where to put his office, but said he didn’t want it to “cost very much at all.�

sitting commander in chief to have made it here. Pipes also says there may have been other presidents who came to the area after their terms, including Harry Truman, while Mountain Press records indicate Bill Clinton was here a few years ago. Of course, Sevier County has also seen its share of celebrity visits, with everyone from favorite daughter Dolly Parton to actor Tom Cruise logging trips to the area. In terms of magnitude of the welcome received, Pipes says no one has had a more considerable greeting here than John H. Reagan, who served as postmaster general for the Confederate States of America. “They had 20,000 people come out to welcome him home, which, in terms of percentages of the population of the county at the time, is the largest welcome anyone ever got here,� Pipes says. Unfortunately, it appears local folks who want to be a part of this presidential visit won’t have the chance. Even officials in local politics, including County Mayor Larry Waters, were left off the list for an event organizers say won’t be at all political. The group hosts events here each year, this year moving from the Gatlinburg Convention Center to
Sevierville’s new facility. According to information provided by the organization, Bush is expected to deliver remarks on his faith and how it affected his decisions as president. More than 8,500 tickets to the conference were reportedly sold out four months ago, most of those to out-of-state church groups that have filled local roads over the last few days with buses and vans. The event is not open to the public and the media will not be allowed into the auditorium. Reports indicate Bush will be flying into the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, though the field and the area around it will be closed to traffic. The president is expected to make his speech and leave the events center without making a public appearance. Tonight’s conference session will also include a presentation by David Jeremiah, founder of the Turning Point Ministries, and a performance by Gospel singer Sandi Patty. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

SMYRNA (AP) — It had been more than 64 years since Glenn Hale flew his last mission in a B-17 bomber. Hale, who was a co-pilot in the 390th Bombardment Group during World War II, stepped back inside a B-17 Monday when the Liberty Belle made a stop at Smyrna Airport. He sat just behind the pilots, taking in the scenery from the sky and reminiscing about his time as a second lieutenant until the war ended in 1945. “It was like being back with an old friend,� Hale said. “This was rather exciting.� The B-17 is in town this week in conjunction with the 390th’s reunion, which will be held in Nashville. The Liberty Foundation, a nonprofit organization that brought the B-17 to Smyrna, will be offering flights to the public Saturday and Sunday. Flights, which last about 30 minutes, cost $430. “I do hope people — even if they can’t ride in the plane — will come out and be with other people and bring their kids,� said Hale’s daughter, Morlee Maynard. “The concept of World War II for kids is so distant they can’t even wrap their brains around it.� As the plane took off Monday, Hale, who is now 86 and lives in Nashville, sat just behind the co-pilot. The 390th flew 301 missions against the German forces, dropping an estimated 19,000 tons of bombs. “They were never turned back by the Nazis. They completed all their missions,� Hale said, later adding, “Every time we took off on a mission ... I always had the thought in my mind, ’Will I be back tonight?�’ One of the missions Hale is most proud of took place when the 390th dropped food and other aid on the Dutch a week before the war ended. “There was no food in Holland. They were eating tulip bulbs,� he said. “It was gratifying to be on a mission where you weren’t destroying things.�

Spray is here; swine flu shots come next week Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:04 PM EST
NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content
By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer ATLANTA — The initial swine flu vaccine doses this week will be the nasal spray version, and arm injections will begin next week to help meet demand, health officials said Tuesday. About 2.2 million doses of nasal spray are available so far. However, the spray is not recommended for some people who are most in danger of complications from flu, including pregnant women and people with asthma. While some priority groups like health care workers and healthy children 2 or older can get vaccinated this week, pregnant women and others at risk should wait. The vaccine first became available in some states on Monday. So far, demand for it is outstripping supply, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a Tuesday press conference. He did not say by how much. Swine flu is widespread across the country, although cases are on the
upswing in some areas and seem to be receding in others, Frieden said. According to the latest CDC data, reports are falling a bit in five regions that comprise about half the country — the New York-New Jersey area; the Southeast; the Midwest; the central Plains; and the region that includes Hawaii, California, Nevada and Arizona. However, the unpredictable flu could make a resurgence, Frieden said,
noting it’s not too late for people in any region to be vaccinated. “Even in places where flu has been widespread, it’s affected 5 percent to 10 percent of the population. That means 90 percent to 95 percent of the population is still susceptible,� he said. The CDC doesn’t have an exact count of swine flu deaths and hospitalizations, but existing reports suggest the infection has caused more than 600

Police say couple used boy as their designated driver SAN ANSELMO, Calif. (AP) — Police say a Marin County couple with several drunken-driving arrests between them let a 13-yearold boy drive them home to avoid another DUI. San Anselmo Police Sgt. Rob Schneider says the incident occurred after the three had dinner at a downtown restaurant Sunday night. Officers investigating a vehicle stalled on a major thoroughfare discovered the underaged driver. Schneider says the boy claimed he stopped because he was “freaked out� and refused to drive further. Thirty-two-year-old Heather Choulos of Mill Valley was charged Monday with child endangerment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor — both misdemeanors. A message left at a number listed for Choulos was not immediately returned. Her boyfriend has not been charged.

Abducted baby’s mom getting custody of kids NASHVILLE (AP) — A mother will be reunited with her newborn son after losing him twice, first to a kidnapper and then to state custody after someone claimed a family member had tried to sell him. Infant Yair Anthony Carillo is no longer in state custody and authorities do not believe parents Maria Gurrolla and Jose Carillo were involved in the abduction, the Department of Children’s Services and Nashville police said Tuesday. Maria Gurrolla lost cus-

Miller told The Associated Press that police informed child welfare officials Tuesday they had “cleared the parents of any wrongdoing.” Gurrolla and Carillo could not immediately be located for comment.

The police statement says “significant unanswered questions remain” in the case, including why Gurrolla and her infant were targeted. Gurrolla told investigators that after she was stabbed, the attacker made a phone call and said in Spanish “The job is done” and the mother “was dying,” according to court documents.

Edgar Allan Poe
BALTIMORE (AP) — It’s been a good 200th anniversary year for Edgar Allan Poe. The master of gothic horror has been celebrated at events in several cities to mark the bicentennial of his birth. Poe And on Sunday in Baltimore, he’ll get the funeral he never had. Fewer than 10 people attended Poe’s funeral when he died in October 1849 at age 40. His cousin, Neilson Poe, never announced the great writer’s death publicly. Because of intense interest, Baltimore will host two funerals.

commentary
Abortion rights not so popular Gloria Steinem, the feminist author and activist, argued that abortion was “the moral equivalent of a tonsillectomy” and that the human fetus was nothing more than a “mass of dependent protoplasm.” If Steinem’s stated views ever enjoyed popular support, they emphatically do not do so today. In fact, according to a recent poll by the respected Pew Research Center, the lopsided majority margin (57 percent to 37 percent) by which Americans said, just over a year ago, that abortion should be legal rather than illegal in most or all cases has now shrunk to thin 47 percent to 44 percent plurality supporting abortion rights. Earlier, a May 2009 Gallup Poll found that — even with a pro-abortion-rights Democrat in the White House and robust Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate — for the first time since the question had been asked a 51 percent majority of Americans called themselves “pro-life” on the abortion issue, while 42 percent self-identified as “pro-choice.” Scott Keeter, the director of research at Pew, perceives real “ambivalence” on the part of the poll’s respondents on the thorny question of abortion. Truth be told, American voters are complicated people whose consensus position, if there actually is one, on this divisive issue might best be described as simultaneously “pro-choice” and “anti-abortion.” That is, there is no substantial popular support for prosecuting or imprisoning a woman who after consulting her conscience, her spiritual counselor or physician decides to seek an abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. But by a landslide 65 percent to 26 percent number, Americans now say it would be good to reduce the number of abortions performed in this country — a 13 percent increase since 2005. Similarly, by a four-to-one margin (76 percent to 19 percent), Americans endorse requiring women under the age of 18 to obtain the consent of at least one parent before getting an abortion. Support for the position that abortion should be legal in all or most cases dropped in every age group among both genders in the last year, except one — males between the ages of 18 to 29. Only a cynic would point out that males between the ages of 18 to 29 are the group most likely to be directly involved in an unplanned pregnancy — and therefore face either being legally required to pony up 18 years of child support or, maybe, sharing the onetime cost of an abortion. That just might explain this male age cohort’s unflagging support for abortion rights! The issue of abortion has receded in urgency. Just 15 percent of Americans now deem abortion to be a critical issue facing the country, a drop from the 28 percent who thought so in 2006. Three years ago, 34 percent of liberal Democrats saw abortion as a critical issue. Today, with Democrats controlling Washington, just 8 percent of liberal Democrats see it as a critical issue. As the political maxim teaches: When the economy is bad, the economy is the only issue. One additional reason, cited by Pew’s Keeter, is the near-universality of sonograms. It is hard to use the clinical terms embryo and fetus -- or to compare abortion to an appendectomy -- when one can see the hands, head and toes of a baby. Still, two out of three Americans believe “the country needs to find a middle ground on abortion laws.” One positive initiative is The Pregnant Women Support Act, sponsored by Rep. Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., and Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., which could reduce the number of abortions by fully funding the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), provide counseling and shelter to women in abusive relationships, provide nurse home-visit programs for pregnant and new mothers under Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and help pregnant women stay in school, prepare for college or vocational training and learn parenting skills. Yes, there is a price tag. But if we’re serious about finding common ground on abortion, it’s a good start. — Mark Shields is a veteran political campaign manager and frequent television talk show commentator.

Under the big top
Pigeon Forge Rotary’s 33rd annual craft festival worth attending It appears official now – fall has returned to Sevier County. Despite popular belief, the surest indicator of the new season isn’t the cooler temperatures or even the changing leaves. It’s the return of a massive red and white circus tent to the parking lot at Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge. Under that big top are packed handmade items of all sorts, from brooms to blankets to baskets. They’re offered by vendors who hail from as close as Sevier County and as far away as the Midwest, and admission is by donation. This is the festival’s 33rd year. It’s put on by members of the Pigeon Forge Rotary Club, who volunteer countless hours each year, with each one contributing at least some time, to make the event the rousing success it always is. The group itself is made up of regular folks who have lives, jobs and responsibilities just like anyone else. In fact, with a number of banking leaders, city officials and business owners on the rolls, it’s likely the life of the average Rotarian is as hectic or even more
so than the average person’s. Still, they find time to participate in weekly lunch meetings at the Holiday Inn and to put on events such as the craft festival. And the Pigeon Forge Rotarians aren’t nearly all of them in the county, with clubs meeting in Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Seymour, at breakfast and lunch. The craft event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, is the Pigeon Forge group’s largest fundraiser of the year. The Rotarians add to the proceeds from the festival monies with cash raised at other events spread through the calendar and the collection of small fees they charge their members during meetings. For instance, Rotarians are charged $1 for each time their names appear in The Mountain Press and $5 for a photo in the paper. On that note, we’d like to specifically point out some of the members of the group, including Mountain National Bank’s Mary Brown, the school board’s John McClure, Country Tonite Marketing Director Laurie Taylor, City Commissioner David Wear, Community Center
Director Simon Bradbury and Fred Frische, who have organized the festival for years now. For tax purposes, expect us to submit a write-off form for the $6 we just indirectly donated to the Rotary Club. With that money, the clubs support a host of local and national agencies and programs that help children. For the Pigeon Forge Rotary Club, that means its Children’s Christmas Party, helping handicapped Scouts, House of Hope, Sevier County Food Ministry, Youth Exchange, the Boys and Girls Clubs, several scholarship programs and a number of other programs for youth. Certainly the small donation requested for admission is worth is, not simply for the opportunity to shop for some truly creative crafts, but also to know you’ve been some small part of helping local children who might be in true need. It’s good to see the Rotary Craft Festival, bringer of unique handmades and herald of the new season, back in town. Check it out sometime before Oct. 31.

Owners of dangerous dogs must be held accountable There might be some benefit to owning large, powerful, strong-jawed and unpredictable dogs and not keeping them penned 24 hours a day, but it’s hard to imagine the benefits outweighing the tremendous risks. Those risks were graphically illustrated recently when shots were fired at two pit bulls as they charged a contract security guard with Memphis City Schools. The weapon was fired on school property at 3782 Jackson. One of the bullets happened to hit a car owned by Mary Reed-Lowery, wife of Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery. Thankfully no one was injured, but there were children not far away, inside a school administration building. Lowery raised the legitimate question about
what school board policy has to say about the use of firearms on school property. That’s an issue the board is obligated to pursue. It would be useful to know, as well, if the security guard had any other option. According to police, the dogs charged the officer and another employee who tried to deter the dogs when they were seen running at large in the area. There is no question, however, that the incident served as another reminder of the heavy responsibility that falls on the shoulders of anyone who owns a large and powerful dog in the city. The history of this city and others is filled with case after sad, tragic case of attacks by dogs that might have seemed like the gentlest of pets in the backyard but became instru-
ments of terror or, sometimes, death on the streets. Dog owners who don’t control their pets — especially animals with the notorious reputation of pit bulls — should face serious consequences. They run the risk of injuring or administering a painful death to anyone who happens to get in the dog’s way and has no defensive tools at hand. They run the risk that public reaction could lead to an outright ban on the breed. There should be no tolerance for failing to keep dangerous animals contained in an urban area — a failure that is roughly equivalent to the careless handling of firearms. Stiff fines and, in some cases, a jail sentence is the appropriate response.

Bearettes bump Lady Highlanders By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer
Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press
G-P goal keeper Morgan Manning (24), left, blocked this first-half SCHS Jessica Mayo (15) shot, but Mayo did get four scores for the Bearettes during Tuesday night’s game at Sevier County in a 6-1 romp over the visiting Lady Highlanders.
SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County High School soccer Bearettes were unkind hosts to GatlinburgPittman Lady Highlanders on Tuesday, defeating their visiting Blue-and-Gold county rivals 6-1 on a rainsoaked night. But despite the lopsided final score, SCHS coach Bobby Norwood wasn’t exactly pleased with what he saw from his club. “It was a little lackadaisical from the start for us,” said Norwood. “But G-P did play with a lot of heart tonight, and they gave a lot of effort.” SCHS (8-5-3) outshot G-P (5-5-2) 14-6 on the night, and Jessica Mayo led the Bearette effort with four goals and two assists. Alexis Conner added two goals, and Shana Garner had two assists in the winning effort. The lone G-P score came
at the 17:15 mark of the first half, scored off a direct free kick from about 40 yards out by Chloe Donley, who cut the SCHS advantage to 2-1 at the time. Mayo added her second goal of the night late in the first half to give the Bearettes a 3-1 edge by intermission over the fading Lady Highlanders. “I thought we played well for 40 minutes tonight,” said G-P coach Dean Hogan. “I was proud of the way the girls played, but injuries and fatigue got the better of us in the second half. “It’s always tough playing up a division, and many of our girls had to play the full 80 minutes tonight without a break. It got the better of us in the second half.” SCHS next hosts District 2-AAA rival Jefferson County 6 p.m. Thursday. G-P next hosts Grace Christian 6 p.m. Thursday. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

SC volleyball can’t stop IMAC power Trojans By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — While the Bearettes were unable to pull out a victory Tuesday night, the team learned that they could play with the area’s upper echelon teams, as they took Morristown West to the wire in each of the final two games of the Lady Trojans’ 25-15, 25-20, 25-22 volleyball win. The Morristown West team, which is loaded with big hitters, was forced into playing the Bearettes’ style of volleyball as time and again the Purple dug and blocked the Lady Trojans’ spikes. “We talk about serve, receive and strong defense, and if you can do those three, you’re going to compete,” SCHS head coach Billy Ward said after the game. “And we competed with one of the better teams in East Tennessee.” “Traditionally, they’re either no. 1 or no. 2 in the district that we just moved into, so they’ve gone onto region and then they’ve been fighting for substate,” Ward said following the game. “I’m going to hold my head high, Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

COMMENTARY AND OPINION
Smoky Bears, Eagles rivalry should be great for years to come If last Thursday night’s game was any indication, fans of the Sevier County Smoky Bears and Seymour Eagles have years of great rivalry matchups ahead. What a night. What a game. For decades SCHS and Seymour games have been big, but this season things changed. For the first time the two teams are in the same conference, multiplying all the implications of the headto-head contest between Sevier County’s two biggest high schools. Thursday night’s Smoky Bears and Eagles game had all the elements a football fan could want, whether a dyed-in-the-wool fan of one of the teams or merely a casual fan. It was a nail-biter game between two seeminglybitter rivals. There was a great crowd and a great atmosphere. There were big plays, and there were big controversies. And there were great individual performances. Keegan Newport,
Seymour’s leading rusher in the game, played almost the entire game with a reportedly separated shoulder. His teammate, defensive lineman Nick Smith, had a great effort on the defensive line, consistently disrupting things in the SCHS backfield. And Eagles’ QB Dustin Fain showed he could throw the ball when called upon by the Seymour coaching staff. As Smoky Bear coach Steve Brewer said following the game, the Eagles are known as a running team, but Fain showed he could pass it Thursday night. For SCHS there were great performances as well. Receiver Bryant Gilson had a game-high 106 yards receiving, including some critical catches for the Purple and White — none more important than his
TD catch in double-overtime. Quarterback Zach Flynn led that touchdown pass fly on 4th-and-9, the Smoky Bears’ last gasp to salvage the game. Flynn ended with 220 yards and that touchdown, but had two more called back on holding penalties. And of course, there was freshman kicker Jared Baxter. After missing a 20-yard field goal attempt that could have won the game for Sevier County, the freshman made the gamewinning extra point following Gilson’s double-OT touchdown. From the field-level, you could nearly cut the tension with a knife, especially after Seymour recovered from an early 14-0 deficit to make it what could be the best high school football game of the year in Sevier County. With the win, the Smoky Bears’ guaranteed themselves their first winning record since the 2006 season, along with a winning record for the regular slate.
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Sarah Winters, escorted by Zack Brunette, was crowned the 2009 SCHS Homecoming Queen at Thursday night’s game against Seymour. Seymour fell to 2-4 with the loss, but the Eagles have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about. Jim Moore’s bunch came into a tough environment at Burchfield Stadium, and
gave the home-standing Bears, a top-10 ranked team according to the AP, all they wanted. In my eyes, Seymour is continuing to get better and better as the season progresses.
It was a great night for football in Sevier County, and I can only imagine what next year might bring in this rivalry. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Highlanders still No.7, Smoky Bears move up to 8th Signature wins this Friday could move both teams up in AP polls By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor Sevier County’s double-overtime win over rival Seymour helped the Smoky Bears move up to No.8 in the AP’s Class 6A poll this week, while the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders stood pat at No.7 in Class 3A with their 42-18 win over Union. Both teams have the opportunity to jump up the polls this week, as a win for either team could drastically improve their stock. The Smoky Bears (6-0, 3-0 in the IMAC conference) will tangle with Morristown West (5-1, 3-0 in the IMAC) for conference supremacy.

I’m very proud of these young ladies. They’re fun to watch and they’re a pleasure to coach. The first game of the match went exactly the way West wanted it to, as they stormed through the Bearettes 25-15. But things changed in the second game as Sevier County began to dictate the style of play. “Tonight we were digging their big hitters, so they had to beat us by being a little smarter,� Ward said. “They went to the off-speed and found the open spots. But we challenged them, and being a good team, they rose to the challenge and took it to another level. It was fun, and we had the lead there for a while, so we’re going to grow and learn from this.� The second game saw Morristown West lead most of the way, but the Bearettes kept it close, and rallied to trail by just one 20-19, before eventually falling 25-20. Tied at 9-9 in the third game, the Sevier County team played their ball control style perfectly, and led at 13-10, 14-12, 15-13 and 17-15, before the Lady Trojans regained the lead at 18-17. From there the teams essentially traded points until the final score gave the Lady Trojans the 25-22 win. Final placement for the COUPON REQUIRED

PREP GOLF
McCown takes Region golf title By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials at the TSSAA State Golf Tournament at Old Fort Golf Course in Murphreesboro are used to seeing a McCown in the lineup. For four years in a row, Pigeon Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brittany McCown represented her school in the tournament. Now with big sister off playing golf for Lincoln Memorial University, Pigeon Forge sophomore Chase McCown had to step up and keep the streak alive. Next week heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do just that. McCown shot a 73 on Monday at Three Ridges Golf Course and bested Union Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Collins in a one-hole playoff to keep his family in the state tournament for the fifth-straight year. Chase, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accompanied Brittany to the tournament the last four years, summed it up best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to the state and getting to play the course instead of just watching,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows the course really well, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just never played it,â&#x20AC;? PF coach Chad Owenby said. But knowing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already qualified for a chance to play their may have made his regional championship playoff hole win so easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I was just excited that I knew that I wanted to make it to the state,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. Playing the first hole at Three Ridges for all the marbles, both McCown and Collins played a good first shot to the middle of the fairway. Things differed for the two on their second shots. Chase made a near-perfect approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It nearly flew in the cup,â&#x20AC;? Owenby said. Honestly, it hit probably two feet from the hole and rolled out to about 10 feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then (Collins) hit one and flared it to the right of the green and chipped up. I made my put,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. McCown had battled back on the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second day after shooting three shots off the pace with a 38 in round one.

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Pigeon Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chase McCown takes a swing on a practice round at Gatlinburg Country Club Tuesday afternoon. McCown will play in the state tournament next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was on pins and needles for him all day,â&#x20AC;? Owenby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pulling for him because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great kid.â&#x20AC;? McCownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concentration in the second round worked, as he shot a 35 to push his way into a tie with Collins, which forced the playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our first boy to win a region (golf) championship at Pigeon Forge,â&#x20AC;? Owenby said. It really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising it would be McCown. The 10th grader has played great all season, including a win at the County Championship. A real rarity in high school golf, McCown played the entire season and only once shot over 40 on a nine-hole round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a sophomore, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? Owenby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worst score he shot other than that, he shot a 39 at Creekside, and he called a 2-shot penalty on himself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that would have been a 37, but I have more respect for him calling that shot than him shooting 37. It shows what character he has, and how much he respects the game.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He handles himself so well for a sophomore,
and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only reason that he won. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of talent, just like a lot of them do, but for him to be able to control his emotions and think about the next shot and analyze the golf course, for someone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-years-old, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive.â&#x20AC;? McCown will tee off next Tuesday at the state tournament.

RACING WITH RICH
Why exactly did NASCAR warn Hendrick teams? Imagine that during this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee vs. Georgia game the referee suddenly switched on his microphone after a particular play to announce, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to say that Georgia did not hold on the previous play but they were very close to it.â&#x20AC;? What a strange occurrence that would be. If the team in question was not holding then why bother with the announcement? If they were holding then why not go ahead and penalize them rather than offer up a warning announcement? That very sort of thing is what NASCAR just did with two of its teams. After each race two cars are typically taken back to the NASCAR Research and Development facility in

in the wrong. Well, either they were illegal or they were not. If they were not illegal then why bother with such a goofy announcement? Every crew chief in the garage area wants his car to be very close to illegal. Such an announcement would confirm to any crew chief that he was doing his job. If the cars were indeed illegal then they should have been punished. Team owner Jack Roush has feelings on the issue. He thinks the cars were illegal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fined a lot of times for a lot of different things,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the cars were out of tolerance by a quarter of an inch, which is what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heardâ&#x20AC;Ś Well, the rest of the garage is held to a much tighter tolerance than that.â&#x20AC;?

The implication of Roushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement is clear. He is almost certainly implying that NASCAR gave the two HMS cars a break and did not take points away in the midst of the Chase for the Championship playoff when they should have. NASCAR has often been accused of playing favorites and the Hendrick team has been the prime target of conspiracy theorists in recent years. And for their part, NASCAR does not seem to be concerned that those accusations are out there. Or, they are so out of touch that they do not realize those charges have been made. To further confirm NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disregard for what many people believe to be the truth, the sanctioning body

Advice
Parents shouldn’t beat themselves up because adult children are unhappy
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I have two adult sons, one married, one divorced. We always had a good relationship, but I hadn’t heard from either of them in a while even though they live nearby. I finally phoned and asked what was going on, but they wouldn’t tell me. When their father called, however, they came over. The married one said he has “low self-esteem” and it’s my fault. He has a master’s degree and a terrific job, has been married 20 years and lives in an expensive home. The other one constantly sought and received our help while going through his divorce, but now says we’ve “done nothing” for him. We also have five grandchildren, but only one calls us. Long-time friends are flabbergasted at this situation. Most of them knew us while our kids were growing up. We have no relatives to talk to. What can we do? -- A Hurt Mom and Gran Dear Hurt: Some children never mature sufficiently to take responsibility for their own lives. It is easier to blame Mom and Dad for whatever problems or unhappiness they have. A child with an expensive home and good job can still have low self-esteem, and self-absorbed children assume their parents never do enough for them. We also can tell you that when siblings get together, the “blame game” can intensify. Parents are not perfect, but still, at this age, it is a form of denial to make you the fall guy. Offer to go with them for counseling to see if you can work through this. In the meantime, occupy your
time and your thoughts with other activities that will bring you contentment. Dear Annie: I love to send out Christmas cards, especially to out-of-town friends and family I rarely see. I feel this is the main function of the cards, to check in and say that though we don’t see each other often, I still think of them warmly. However, a surprising number of my friends argue that if I never see these people and only hear from them at Christmas, it’s a waste of time to send them cards. The implication is that if they wanted to stay in touch, they would do so during the rest of the year. I used to laugh off such comments as Scroogelike, but I wonder. Does it make sense to send cards and catch-up notes to those I never see? -Lake City Mark Dear Mark: We think you are a thoughtful, nice fellow and hope you will continue to send Christmas cards and notes to people you rarely see, provided you enjoy doing so and they enjoy receiving them. You are not obligated to send cards to those who never respond, but you are correct that one of the objectives is to stay in touch, particularly with older relatives who may find it difficult to reciprocate. Bless you for caring enough to do so. Dear Annie: I felt
compelled to respond to the letter from “Missing Mom in Missouri,” who worries her recently widowed father may be entering the dating scene too soon. I was a widow at age 34. I did most of my grieving while my husband was dying of cancer, not after. In fact, we grieved together. This is an intimate aspect to a marriage that children cannot appreciate. When my husband died, I had already been grieving for six months. It shocked my family and friends when I moved on while they had just started mourning. Some thought I must not have loved my husband, but I know he wanted me to continue with my life. After being surrounded by death for six months, I was exhausted and needed someone to care for me. I also struggled with my own mortality. Nothing better drives home the point that life is short. I hope that daughter will be supportive. Her father has grieved far more than she knows. -Happily Remarried in Connecticut Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Al-Qaida showing smaller presence in Afghanistan By ROBERT H. REID Associated Press Writer KABUL — Al-Qaida’s role in Afghanistan has faded after eight years of war. Gone is the once-formidable network of camps and safe houses where Osama bin Laden and his mostly Arab operatives trained thousands of young Muslims to wage a global jihad. The group is left with fewer than 100 core fighters, according to the Obama administration, likely operating small-scale bombmaking and tactics classes conducted by trainers who travel to and from Pakistan. President Barack Obama said Tuesday that al-Qaida has “lost operational capacity” after a series of military setbacks and vowed to continue the battle to cripple the terror organization. With the U.S. reassessing how to achieve that objective, the key question now is whether al-Qaida could reconstitute its Afghan base
even if its Taliban allies regain power. NATO casualties have risen dramatically this year at the hands of a resurgent Taliban, and U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal is asking for up to 40,000 more American troops so that he can bolster security, especially in northern and western Afghanistan. Opponents of that strategy, notably Vice President Joe Biden, prefer to maintain current U.S. troop levels — about 65,000 — and shift the focus to missile strikes and special forces operations in neighboring Pakistan, where many key al-Qaida figures have sought sanctuary. Those critics believe the Taliban — a radical Islamist movement that emerged among the ethnic Pashtun community and ruled in Kabul from 1996 until 2001 — pose no threat to the United States. They say the real enemy, alQaida, lies across the border in Pakistan. U.S. national security

Jalaluddin Haqqani, then Taliban Army Supreme Commander, speaks during an interview in Miram Shah, Pakistan, in 1998. Al-Qaida has maintained longtime ties with a number of key figures within the broad coalition that is fighting U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Chief among them are Haqqani and his son Sirajuddin. adviser James Jones said last weekend that the al-Qaida presence has diminished and he did not “foresee the return of the Taliban” to power.
He said that according to the maximum estimate, al-Qaida has fewer than 100 fighters operating in Afghanistan without any bases or ability to
Letterman: ‘Got my work cut out for me’ By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK — David Letterman acknowledges in his on-air apologies to his wife and staff for having sex with co-workers that he has his work cut out for him. As Letterman mixed wisecracks with contrition, he said his wife, Regina Lasko, had been “horribly hurt by my behavior” and stated flat-out that those affairs “are in the Letterman past.” The CBS late-night host vowed during Monday’s show to repair his relationship with his wife, whom he married in March after a years-long courtship. “Let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me,” he said ruefully. His apologies meant another big night in the ratings. The Nielsen Co.’s overnight measurement of the nation’s 56 biggest markets netted Letterman’s “Late Show” a 4.2 rating — higher than anything rival NBC had in prime-time. Nielsen didn’t immediately have an estimate of the size of Letterman’s audience. The overnight rating was slightly less than Thursday’s show, when 5.8 million people watched Letterman say he had been the victim of a $2 million blackmail threat that led him to reveal he had sex with staff members. Monday’s show was the first Letterman had taped since Thursday. While he laced the show with references to the scandal, only one other latenight host, Craig Ferguson, made any reference to it. Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon and
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” had all made jokes in earlier shows, but everyone but Ferguson avoided the topic on their Monday night and Tuesday morning shows. As host of the “Late Late Show,” Ferguson follows Letterman’s “Late Show.” Letterman also is his boss, since Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants Inc., produces the “Late Late Show.” “The person you work for, the person you admire and respect, is caught in an embarrassing situation,” said Ferguson. “And your job is to be funny about that, whilst trying to keep your own job.” “So this is my last show,” he joked. Ferguson did make light of the situation, joking that it had now been revealed how he got the job in the first place. But Ferguson defended Letterman, calling him “the king of late-night television.” “If we are now holding late-
night talk-show hosts to the same moral accountability as we hold politicians or clergymen, I’m out,” said Ferguson. “I’m gone.” On the “Late Show,” Letterman noted the cool fall weather, reporting, “It’s chilly outside my house; chilly INSIDE my house.” Then he cautioned the audience, “This is only phase one of the scandal. Phase two: Next week I go on ’Oprah’ and sob.” A bit later, guest Steve Martin gave Letterman his kidding consolation: “It proves that you’re a human being. And we weren’t really that sure before.” During the hour, Letterman apologized to his staff, which, he said, had been subjected to “being browbeaten and humiliated” by reporters since his revelations. “My thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in,” he said.
241 W. Main Street Sevierville, TN 37862 429-3377 www.american-fireplaces.com
Letterman, 62, began dating Lasko in 1986, and they have a son, Harry, who was born in November 2003. Letterman arrived on stage Monday to applause and cheers from his studio audience. After drinking it in, he grinned sheepishly and inquired, with a mock stammer, “Did your, did your weekend just fly by?” After pausing for the audience’s sympathetic laughter, he went on: “I mean, I’ll be honest with you folks — right now, I would give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian Trail.” “I got into the car this morning,” he added, “and the navigation lady wasn’t speaking to me. Ouch.” In a more somber display, Letterman voiced his mea culpas. Regarding his wife, he said that, “If you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it.”
launch attacks on the West. “If the Taliban did return to power, I believe we are strong enough to deter them from attacking us again by strong and credible punishment and by containing them with regional allies like India, China and Russia,” said former State Department official Leslie Gelb. But Bryan Glyn Williams, a University of Massachusetts associate professor who monitors militant Web sites, told The Associated Press he has collected reports of large numbers of al-Qaida fighters in various provinces in addition to across the border in Pakistan. Michael Scheuer, a former CIA analyst who tracked bin Laden for three years, believes the administration may have underestimated alQaida’s role here because the organization prefers to work in the background providing logistics, propaganda and training to local allies. Most of the foreigners
fighting against NATO in Afghanistan are believed to be Pakistani Pashtuns and Uzbeks, who are harder to identify than Arabs because of ethnic similarities to Afghans. Although the Taliban never fully embraced al-Qaida’s doctrine of global jihad, the movement has spread among ethnic Pashtuns in Pakistan, threatening the stability of that nuclear-armed country. “When you see less and less of al-Qaida in an Islamist insurgency, it almost certainly means that it is more effective than when you saw more of it,” Scheuer said. “I am sure that alQaida is still fielding some field-grade cadre to toughen the Taliban’s ranks.” Some experts believe al-Qaida operates in Afghanistan through Lashkar al-Zil, or “Shadow Army,” which is believed to have carried out attacks in eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan.
