returned to the chapel and found it had been burglarized and a lockbox containing cash was missing. Owner Joyce McGhee Whaley said the employee had just returned to pick up something she’d left at the chapel when she came
across the car and saw the door had been broken. “(She) was just in the right place at the right time,” Whaley said. “It scared her to death; she saw the door was busted in.” The employee notified the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, and dispatchers issued a description of the vehicle.

Winterfest celebrates 20 years in Sevier 10 million lights to illuminate county From Submitted Reports Soon more than 10 million lights will illuminate the nighttime in Sevier County, marking the beginning of the 20th season of Smoky Mountain Winterfest, and Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are ready to celebrate. The three cities are teaming up with the county to host a Smoky Mountain Winterfest Celebration luncheon on Monday, Oct. 26 at 11:30 a.m. at W. L. Mills Auditorium in Gatlinburg. The featured speaker will be Dr. Steve Morse of the University of Tennessee Tourism Institute, with special comments from Phyllis Quails-Brooks, assistant commissioner of tourism for the state of Tennessee. The impact of Winterfest has been dramatic over the past 20 years. By extending the tourist season through February, additional yearround job opportunities are available for citizens, and economic growth has flourished throughout Sevier County. “Our analysis shows that since Winterfest began in 1989, there have been 20 years of growth in tax revenues generated for the Winterfest months,� said Morse.
Smoky Mountain Winterfest began in 1989 when tourism leaders from across Sevier County began looking for ways to extend the tourist season and make the Great Smoky Mountains a yearround tourist destination. The group visited Oglebay Resort’s Winter Festival of Lights in Wheeling, W.Va., and thought the concept would be attractive to visitors. Dollywood joined the three cities in embracing the opportunity to work together for the common goal, and Winterfest was born. Throughout the two
decades of Winterfest, the event has won numerous awards including “Top 20 Event� designation by the Southeast Tourism Society, and Top 100 Event recognition by the American Bus Association. Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Pigeon Forge are also moving to make the event more environmentally friendly by converting the lighted displays to LED (light emitting diode) bulbs, which burn 75 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs.

Discover Life in America (DLIA) is involved in a quest to identify and understand all the species of life within an 800-square-mile ecosystem in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. DLIA researchers seek knowledge about the components, abundance, and diversity of life, from spiders in the soil to slime molds in the forest canopy. The primary tool of DLIA is the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) which brings scientists from around the world to inventory the estimated 100,000 species of living organisms in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The project develops checklists, reports, maps, databases, and natural history profiles that describe the biology of this rich landscape to a wide audience. DLIA’s mission is to help the ATBI identify and develop resources and partnerships to conduct the inventory and related educational activities. Since species collecting began in 1998, the ATBI has uncovered over 900 species new to science, as well as over 6,400 species that are newly documented to exist in the Smokies.

year when the local United Way raised less than half its lofty $1 million goal. United Way supporters have quietly conceded since that the target was too high, particularly given the recession. Worsham pointed out the collapse of that campaign meant the more than two dozen local agencies that depend on United Way support to provide everything from afterschool programs to fire protection to area residents faced massive shortfalls in the amounts they received from the group. That meant not only slashes in the financial books kept by those organizations, it likely prompted at least a few of those to cut back on some of the programs they offer that are supported by United Way dollars. That’s why the group has sliced its campaign goal in half between the two years, but is still pushing to outdo the $500,000 mark. In years past, members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, a group of local folks with deep pockets who contribute $10,000 or more annually to United Way of Sevier County,
gathered around the table at Earl and Margit Worsham’s mountaintop home for an intimate evening of good food and light fundraising. This year, that dinner assembly grew to include everyone who gives $250 or more, a sign in more ways than one of the economic times and the hit in fundraising United Way has taken as a result of the recession. The event was still fairly intimate, with those in attendance getting a glimpse at the Worsham’s thousands of Cove Mountain acres and sharing a meal catered by the Walters State Community College culinary program as the Classic Rocks Band played and rain pattered on the top of a big tent set up in the couple’s yard. However, the changes were noticeable. In years past, not only did the Êlite givers get their own dinner, those who fell into the giving ranges just below them also shared a meal. That tradition was nixed last year as United Way officials worried they may be spending too much on such events. However, this year
Margit Worsham prompted its revival, proposing the combined event to the group’s board. Former United Way Executive Director Roy Marshall at times past pointed out the group had given as much as $300,000 in one year, enough to more than cover administrative expenses. Though it’s likely not all the contributions from the society came in through donations or auction purchases Tuesday, it’s also likely the total won’t reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars as in the past. Still, United Way supporters and staffers are optimistic they’ll see better results out of this year’s campaign than they did in 2008. They’ve already got a promising start, raising nearly $170,000 from early donations and the Tuesday event. “It’s always tough when donations are down, but we’re looking forward to a good year,� DeLozier said. “We’re all going to be working very hard to meet the need in Sevier County.�
once a sworn enemy of the U.S., but is now an ally because of its desire to become a free nation. “Something happened over the past 60-years that transformed our enemy (Japan) to an ally.

Though the fundraising efforts during the event were something of a soft sell, there was plenty of encouragement to give.

We are so blessed to be able to help other people,� she said. “I don’t think any of us can imagine what our agencies are going through and dealing with on a daily basis.

They are wild animals, not pets, and you have to use good common sense when you are around them. We don’t need any bad things happening concerning bears and people. “I always try to encourage people to not feed the bears, because they end up losing their fear of people. We just have to provide more education all the time, just to keep the tourists safe. And it’s not good for the bears either, because they need to be eating up some berries, not cheeseburgers.� Besides the bear issue, there was little other discussion during City Commission’s meeting Tuesday night at City Hall.

Relatives question why officials took baby NASHVILLE (AP) — A mother whose baby was kidnapped said she was devastated when child welfare officials took him into state custody shortly after he was recovered, describing the pain of that separation as worse than the knife wounds that the kidnapper inflicted on her. Maria Gurrola, still recovering from stab wounds and a collapsed lung, started crying and shaking when she learned week-old Yahir Anthony Carrillo and his three siblings would be put into
foster homes, said Norma Rodriguez, the cousin of Jose Carrillo, the baby’s father. “She said them taking the kids away was a worse stab in her heart than the stab from the lady who took the baby,” Rodriguez said. The children, ages 3, 9 and 11, were split up and put with strangers in two separate foster homes Saturday after investigators told the state Department of Children’s Services the couple was under investigation because of allegations they

Trust your instincts, Mr. Obama
LOS ANGELES — We do not pay the president by the hour and, I understand, he has some pretty good telecommuting equipment. So if he wants to take a 20-hour trip to Copenhagen, even in a lost cause, the Republic will survive. Politics being what it is, it is kind of a joke to listen to President Obama’s Republican opponents, the loyal opposition — to everything — work him over for a day away from the Oval Office, the old-fashioned one in Washington. Suddenly, the health care reform they have been trying to undermine or even blow up is so crucial that the president can’t take a nap. And his Democratic friends and usually friendly pundits are upset that Obama violated a traditional rule of the presidency by going into a meeting without a preordained result — a win negotiated in advance. That is, in fact, how presidential meetings are usually arranged. A small example is that the president is not supposed to offer a job to anyone unless his staff has already confirmed that the potential appointee will say “yes.” National security was hardly involved as Obama, and his wife, skipped over to Denmark to put in a good and presumably helpful word for their hometown. Anti-Americanism aside, and there has always been a good deal of it within the international Olympic movement, Rio de Janeiro had a winning argument from the start. There had never been Olympic Games in South America. If it weren’t Chicago in the running, I’d suspect that were Obama on the International Olympic Committee, he might have voted for Rio as a symbol of the fact that Brazil is one of the big boys now. I remember vividly the first time I saw Obama as a presidential candidate in 2007 and came out of a small gathering thinking that this guy might be too thoughtful for the job. It was a meeting with New York movers and shakers sponsored by Time magazine. Over drinks later, the power and money brokers, many of whom had served in the White House at one time or another, talked among themselves about how impressive the guy was. But the words they used were warnings: “rational,” “intellectual,” “nice,” “cool.” A former assistant secretary of state said flatly he thought Obama was “too nice” to be president. Others, including a former secretary of state with an accent, nodded in apparent agreement. One said he thought Obama would think too much, using the phrase as a euphemism for being indecisive. That impression of Obama was dramatized during his campaign against Republican John McCain, who is a model of an instinctive and stubborn politician not much interested in finer points. He was like Harry Truman in 1948, ignoring the sage advice of his entire Cabinet and National Security Council telling him to get out of West Berlin in 1948. Truman said: “We stay in Berlin. Period.” That was the beginning of the Berlin Airlift. Obama, on the other hand, was like John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, weighing all the arguments for two weeks and working his way to a successful conclusion. This blip will be little noted nor long remembered, but perhaps it will persuade our nice and rational president, on occasion, to just do it — trust your own instincts once in a while. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial
A welcome visitor
Say what you will about his politics, having Bush here an honor Having former President George W. Bush visit Sevier County was a special occasion for the area, even though he came to address a closed event of more than 8,500 people at the Sevierville Events Center. Bush was scheduled to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park while president, to make an Earth Day address in 2005, but never made it to the Park due to inclement weather. We hope that he had a chance this time to enjoy the area. By all accounts, his speech to the Celebrators Christian Conference covered the expected topics of his faith and love of his country. Attendees leaving the event were enthusiastic about hearing his message. They said he spoke passionately about his own religion, and about the importance of religious freedom in the United States. One of the attendees, Tennessee Press Association President Victor Parkins, submitted a story that offers more detail on what Bush said to the audience. Bush reportedly touched on the war that consumed most of his time as president, saying he still believes that nations in the Middle East can become true allies if they become free nations. He said that he chose a portrait of Abraham Lincoln to hang in the Oval Office because Lincoln was his favorite president — a sentiment that isn’t surprising considering Lincoln was the first Republican president. But he said he felt Lincoln “believed all men were created equal under God even during times
of civil war,” and that statement might shock some who questioned his treatment of detainees alleged to be involved in the War on Terror. People leaving the event Wednesday night also said Bush encouraged them to stand up for their beliefs. According to Parkins, he told them, “Never compromise your values for popularity. Take a stand and defend it.” That certainly seems to reflect the approach he took as president, as he seemed indifferent to the highs and lows of his approval rating once he took office. While it may not have been open to the public, the event was a showcase for several Sevier County institutions. The Secret Service oversaw security, as it does for all former presidents, but it was joined by Sevierville police officers and Sevier County Sheriff’s deputies. They did a great job of not only seeing to it that the president’s motorcade glided through town, but also of funneling the crowd out of the Events Center after the event concluded. Bush landed at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, which was shut down for his arrival Wednesday afternoon. He became one of the first visitors to enjoy the new terminal and other amenities of the long-awaited expansion. We’d have liked to have some pictures of that, but security was so tight that a photographer from The Mountain Press was asked to leave the airport after first being granted permission to stay — and was blocked from getting a picture of a local K-9 unit joining in the efforts. We
appreciate the airport sending along a picture of Bush as he disembarked. It’s a shame that the event wasn’t open to the media. There were certainly some people who were less than thrilled to hear Bush would be visiting. There were letters to the editor and responses to the online stories that attest to that — but East Tennessee is Bush country, and has the voting record to prove it. That is especially true in Sevier County. Like the audience at the event, many here would have enjoyed hearing Bush’s message. It’s customary for presidents to give their successors a grace period before criticizing them, and the people leaving the address backed up the initial description of a “non-political” address. So it doesn’t sound like he, nor the event organizers at Phil Waldrep Ministries, had much to worry about in the way of controversy. Regardless, we’re happy to have had a former president visit our community again. Bush joins his father, George H.W. Bush, and his idol, Ronald Reagan, as former presidents who have visited Sevier County. Franklin Delano Roosevelt remains the only sitting president to visit, when he came to dedicate the National Park. We’re also thankful that Phil Waldrep Ministries is using Sevier County for several of its events, including another fall event in Pigeon Forge later this month. The conferences bring thousands of people from all over the South, and we’re happy to have them. We hope that Phil Waldrep Ministries, and Bush, will return soon.
Political view
other views: the knoxville news-sentinel
Economy could change higher education system There have been efforts in the past to merge Tennessee’s two systems of higher education, but they usually have met a certain and swift death, proving that efficiency is no match for politics. This time, combining the University of Tennessee system and the Board of Regents system might face a different fate, not because the politics has changed but because the economy has. Faculty senates at six of the state’s 10 universities have endorsed merging the schools under a single
administrative system. Plans are far from final, but the recommendation is expected to go before Gov. Phil Bredesen later this month. ... Under the (Association of Tennessee University Faculty Senates’) proposal, the regents’ universities would merge with UT and would be separated from the community colleges and technology centers. The new system would have its headquarters in Nashville, and (the Tennessee Higher Education Commission) would
cease to exist. ... With the economy down, funding for higher education might be questionable in a couple of years when stimulus money is phased out. Both systems are studying possible cuts that could result, and those could be extensive. Faculty senates at UT-Knoxville and UT-Martin opposed the merger plan, but the economy and the fact that faculty senates at a majority of the universities support combining the systems make it appear the perfect storm for change is blowing
this way. There is a long way to go, but the talks to determine if a new system will be more efficient and will be better for higher education should begin soon. The state has seen remarkable improvement in higher education in recent years, especially the improvement in grade-point averages and test scores of entering freshmen. The state should provide them and their parents the best system possible to help them earn degrees and become a valuable part of the workforce.

Bears, Trojans battle for IMAC supremacy tonight By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — On paper it’s a battle between the No.6 and No.8 6A teams in the state. But the undefeated No.8 state-ranked Sevier County High School Smoky Bears (6-0, 3-0) gridiron team knows that their game tonight at No.6 Morristown West Trojans (5-1, 3-0) isn’t going to be played on paper. “We don’t talk much about polls,” said 18th-year SCHS coach Steve Brewer. “We’re not talking about polls and undefeated seasons. That’s all just premature stuff. “But we can set a goal to go 7-0, and that is our goal this week.” In order for the Bears to stay undefeated after the dust settles tonight, they’ll have to upset District 2-AAA rival Trojans on the road for Morristown West’s homecoming night. After losing 16-13 opening night to the Fulton Falcons, West has won five straight contests against Knox Central, Cherokee, Science Hill, South-Doyle and Morristown East. The Smoky Bears have yet to defeat an opponent with a winning record this season, and the combined mark of
those six teams — William Blount, Knox Halls, Jeff County, Dobyns-Bennett, Cocke County and Seymour — is 11-27. William Blount has the best record of that bunch with a 3-4 mark. But West’s opponents aren’t much better with an overall record of 15-23. West also hasn’t defeated a team with a winning record this season, and against the one team West has played with a winning mark — Fulton at 5-2 — the Trojans lost. The combined record of the teams West has defeated is 10-21. So if West is the Bears’ toughest test this season, the same can easily be said for the Morristown team. “But we can’t look back,” said Brewer. “We’ve just got to look at Morristown West and know that it’s going to be a huge challenge, the biggest challenge we’ve had to date. “It would show a real lack of focus and a real lack of understanding if we don’t come prepared and ready to play from the start. “We’ve had a pretty good week of preparation, and I think we understand that we can’t afford to come out and play a bad quarter of football Jason Davis/The Mountain Press and then try to wake up.” Sevier County would like some touchdown catches like this one, hauled in by Bryce Whaley last week but called back for a hold, in their battle with Morristown West tonight. The game pits the chitchcock@themountainpress.com AP’s No.6 team, the Trojans, against the No.8 Smoky Bears.

Highlanders face toughest challenge so far in Fulton By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor GATLINBURG — It’s highly unusual for an undefeated team to be an underdog to a two-loss team this deep in the high school football season, but as the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders head to face the three-time state champion Fulton Falcons tonight, the Blue and Gold know that’s exactly what they are.
And that’s exactly the emotion the Highlanders are playing on. “It’s a big ballgame, a big test for us,” coach Benny Hammonds said Thursday. “No.7 in triple-A playing No.5 in four-A. Of course everybody expects us to get beat, and we know we’re the strong underdogs. Playing a team with the tradition Fulton’s had the last 10-12 years and with their state championships
there’s a reason for that. “But we’ve done well up to this point, and we’d like to take our best game down there. We know we’ve got a chance — if we didn’t have a chance we wouldn’t go. I heard a couple of comments this week off the Knoxville radio stations, and they just expect them to win because they know what they’ve done in the past. See HIGHLANDERS, Page A9
SEYMOUR — After last week’s 24-23 double-OT disappointment at Sevier County, the Seymour Eagles are remaining positive and looking forward to hosting District 2-AAA rival Morristown East Hurricanes tonight. “Our kids realize they should have won (against SCHS),” said first-year Seymour coach Jim Moore. “But our guys have responded well, and I expect them to respond well (tonight against East).” Tonight’s game is big for the Eagles (2-4, 1-2) on several levels. A win against East (3-3, 2-0) would not only end a two-game Seymour losing streak, but it would also keep the Eagles undefeated against 5A opponents in the IMAC Conference and give Seymour an apparent leg up over East for a playoff spot. But exactly how big of a leg up is a matter of conjecture under TSSAA’s new playoff guidelines, which are fuzzy if not a complete mystery. “Truthfully, we don’t know how big it is,” said Moore. “Of course, a win would help ... but the way this thing is going to play out, nobody really understands a lot of it.”

Tigers hope running game sparks a win versus Meigs By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — A week after the Pigeon Forge Tigers suffered a 20-0 loss to Carter in a game that was closer than the final score indicates, the Orange and Black are looking to get back on track tonight as Meigs County comes in for homecoming. “They’re big and physical,” coach Lee Hammonds said of the Meigs County
Tigers. “It’ll probably be a pretty good game.” Hammonds said the visiting Tigers offense runs a Wing T, something that Pigeon Forge has become very familiar with this season. “We’ve seen it more this year than I’ve seen it in a long time — Greenback, Gibbs ran a variation of it, Grainger and Meigs County,” Hammonds said. “This will be the fourth team we’ve seen run it.”
Despite the familiarity, however, Hammonds said his team has had some trouble defending the misdirection offense. The numbers bear that out as the three teams that have run a conventional Wing T against Pigeon Forge have averaged 32 points-pergame against the Tigers. But Hammonds still likes his team’s chances. “I think we’ve got a chance to win, I believe we can,” Hammonds said.
Meigs County comes into the contest with just a 2-5 record, and last week they lost to a previously winless Sweetwater team. In the meantime, their two wins come against a winless Sequoyah team and a Greenback squad that beat Pigeon Forge the second week of the season. Defensively, Meigs runs a 5-3, and will likely stack the box to try and limit 1,000yard-back Chase Travis. For that reason, a good
play-action passing game from freshman QB Kaleb Black is important to keep the defense honest. A win for the Tigers could put the team in good position for a shot at evening their record at 4-4 next Friday against Union. “We really felt like we had a really good chance to beat Carter last week. We felt confident and our kids were confident. Our kids are believing in each other and each other’s abilities and
they’re trusting each other more. This week we’ve got the opportunity to come out and hopefully play a good football game and get back on the winning path,” Hammonds said. “We feel like these next two weeks if we’ll do the things we’re supposed to do it’s going to give us a good chance to win a couple of football games, but we can’t just show up and say we’re going to win, we’ve got to work for our wins.”

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICTIONS 3From Page A8
“We’ve got a good bunch of boys that practice hard and play hard, they understand how to win, and they’ve got a chance. The opportunity is there and we’re looking at it as an opportunity.� The coach added his team felt good heading into the game about their chances, and he’s hoping they’ll use that ‘us-againstthe-world’ mentality to provide the spark that lifts the team to victory. “Anytime you’ve got a big game and you’re underdogs, emotion plays a big part of that,� Hammonds said of his G-P team (6-0, 2-0 in District 3-AA). “If you’re going to upset somebody that’s heavily favored over you, you’ve got to go with good emotions for four quarters, because that makes you play at a higher tempo, a higher level. Emotions will be big for us.� Despite the motivation of playing the underdog role, Hammonds does realize his team has its hands full with the Falcons (5-2, 2-1).
“We’ve played six games up to this point and three or four of them have been pretty good football teams, and it’s the time to move up for a different challenge. You like to see how you stack up against a better football team, and we feel like if we play nearperfect football with our execution, and keep our penalties to a minimum and play hard every play, we’ve got a chance.� Coming into tonight’s game, Fulton’s biggest offensive weapon looks to be running back Dametrius Thomas, who’s averaging almost 100yard-per-game and has scored nine touchdowns in just five games. But Fulton quarterback Ben Winters can cause some problems for opposing defenses as well. While he’s only passed for about 100 yards-pergame, Winters has combined for six TDs on the ground and through the air. His favorite target is wide receiver Micah Pitchford, who’s racked up 246 receiving yards so far this season, including two touchdown catches. Winters also plays a big
role on defense for Fulton, as he’s the team’s secondleading tackler behind linebacker Quientest Vinson. The Falcons also get good pressure on opposing quarterbacks, as nine defensive players have already recorded sacks for Fulton this season. Still, Austin-East and Alcoa have shown the Falcons can be beat. “That gives you some more confidence and belief that it can be done, because a couple of other teams have already done it — even if it is Alcoa and Austin-East,� Hammonds said with a smile. “We know we can do it, we’ve pulled some big upsets in this program over the years. We’ve seen it done, these boys have seen it done, the coaches have experienced. We know what can happen.� The last time the two teams faced off was in the 2002 TSSAA State Playoffs quarterfinal round. Fulton beat G-P 24-0 that night, and then beat Trousdale County before losing to Ridgeway in the state championship game. mpsports@themountainpress.com

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mattel has launched a new line of black Barbie dolls with fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a far cry from Christie, Barbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black friend who debuted in the 1960s and was essentially a white doll painted brown. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;So In Styleâ&#x20AC;? line, which hit mass retailers last month, features BFFs Grace, Kara and Trichelle, each with her own style and interests and a little sister she mentors: Courtney, Janessa and Kianna. The dolls reflect varying skin tones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; light brown, chocolate, and caramel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Trichelle and Kianna have curlier hair. Barbie designer Stacey McBride-Irby, who is black and has a 6-year-old daughter, said she wanted to create a line of dolls for young black girls that looked like them and were inspirational and career-minded. For example, Kara is interested in math and music.
FDA panel backs Pfizer HIV drug
ADELPHI, Md. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal health advisers say Pfizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HIV drug Selzentry should be approved for use by patients who have not already taken other drugs to combat the virus. The Food and Drug Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panel of virus experts voted 10-4 in favor of the new use, despite some inconsistency in company studies of the drug. Selzentry is currently approved as a secondary option for HIV patients who are not responding to other antiviral drugs.

Jackson doctor could face charges on child support Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:06 PM EST
NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content
LAS VEGAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The doctor at the center of an investigation into Michael Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death may face arrest and could lose his medical license after missing a hearing to explain late child support payments, the Las Vegas district attorney said Thursday. Clark County District Attorney David Roger told The Associated Press that a district judge could approve an arrest warrant for Dr. Conrad Murray thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended by a family court hearing master within 10 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll send our investigators out to locate and arrest Dr. Murray,â&#x20AC;? Roger said. Roger says Murray, who owes $13,000 in unpaid child support to a California woman, can object to the warrant before a judge approves it.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Philadelphia couple is facing manslaughter charges for praying over their sick toddler rather than seeking medical help before he died of pneumonia. Prosecutors say the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; religious beliefs led them to neglect their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical needs. But lawyers for Herbert and Catherine Schaible say the parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the boy was dying. The 2-year-old boy, Kent, died in January, about 10 days after he fell ill. A Philadelphia judge this week upheld involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment and conspiracy charges against the Schaibles. The Schaibles quit school after the ninth grade. They now work as teachers at their fundamentalist church, First Century Gospel Church and have several other children.

This photo released by Mattel shows â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbie So In Styleâ&#x20AC;? designer Stacey McBride-Irby. The jury was not in the room when Gotti, on trial in federal court, stood and shouted at witness John Alite as Alite was leaving the witness box for lunch. Alite has been testifying for the last week, putting Gotti at the scene of various mob activities, including murders. The outburst came after Alite denied being involved in killing a 25-year-old woman in the 1980s. Gotti shouted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did I kill little girls? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a punk.â&#x20AC;?
Gotti yells to witness: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a punkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John â&#x20AC;&#x153;Juniorâ&#x20AC;? Gotti has interrupted his New York racketeering trial with an outburst, shouting at the main witness against him.

Dresses made from pillow cases are ready to be shipped to Michigan where they will be sent to Africa and given to children in need of clothing.
A case of compassion Church takes on project for African children By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor In the scheme of things, a pillow case may not seem to be an item to cause a stir. In most people’s minds, it’s simply an object used to protect our pillow. Something that can sometimes cause annoyance when we’re trying to insert the pillow into the case. But for a group of women at Boyds Creek Church of God, a simple pillow case became a symbol of hope and compassion. A way to help a child living thousands of miles away in conditions that are hard to imagine. The members of the church’s God’s Leading Ladies Bible study group took to heart a mission given to them by Barbara Stevens, the head missionary of the church’s Southeastern district. “She was just wanting the churches to come together and get behind this project,” JoAnn Finchum said of the Little Dresses for Africa project. “And so when they announced it — I think it was on Mother’s Day — we all got excited about the dresses and it just kind of spiraled from there.” The Little Dresses For Africa project is headquartered in Michigan and run by a woman named Rachel O’Neil. “She went to Africa on a missionary trip and was just so moved by the young girls over there who are so abused in that culture,” Finchum said. “And she said they would literally wear their dresses until they would fall off. She was so moved with compassion and she was trying to figure out what she could do. So the Lord laid on her heart to start this ministry of dresses made out of pillow cases.”

writing and promotion of the film. “Andrew Jackson was even scared of this ghost. There are so many books and documents that refer to the Bell Witch. This movie follows those details.” “With a proliferation of ‘slasher’ films filled with sex, violence and vulgar language, it’s becoming harder than ever to find movies that are appropriate for families. We wanted to make a movie that told this terrifying and true story that was appropriate for the widest variety of viewers,” said Marr. Clifton spent time filming in Adams County on sites near the property that was haunted. So, does he believe in the Bell Witch?

Look within yourself for true motivation
SPD offers car seat checkpoints
Someone asked me recently, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carl, what exactly is motivation?â&#x20AC;? Well, according to the Illustrated Oxford Dictionary, it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;causing a person to act in a certain way.â&#x20AC;? But, personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe one person can actually motivate another person. We can help create an atmosphere that encourages self-motivation, because I believe that all true motivation must come from within an individual. To me, motivation is the term that simply describes whether or not we are enthusiastic enough about something to act upon it. If we are truly motivated to do something, we will jump into that something with energy to spare. If we are not motivated to do a certain thing, the enthusiasm and resultant action that may lead to successful achievement will not be there. Many newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x153;want adsâ&#x20AC;? pertaining to job openings begin with the description of the type of person wanted with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Must be self-starter.â&#x20AC;? This, of course, means the person must be able to motivate himself or herself to do a particular job or to sell a particular product. It would be terrific if everyone could find something in which or she was so enthusiastic that the actions come. We become enthusiastic about something when we think about it enthusiastically. It gets back to the principle emphasized in philosopher/essayist Henry David Thoreauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are products of our thoughts.â&#x20AC;? Thoreau (1817-1862) lived in a world very similar to the world in which we live. There were robberies, killings, rapes, illicit sex, crooked politicians, wars, racial strife, and many forms of social injustice that upset him. He had the same type daily problems most of us have. He experienced small annoyances and large crises. But upon awakening each morning, Thoreau would lie in bed and think of all the good things he could think of. Such thoughts would lead to enthusiasm, and he soon would jump up from his bed, self-motivated and ready to live life to the fullest. If we practice being enthusiastic about things,
even when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel enthusiastic, enthusiasm can eventually come to us as it did to Thoreau. As Shakespeare indicates in Hamlet, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assume a virtue, if you have it not.â&#x20AC;? It was this bit of advice that led Edwin Booth, one of the greatest actors in the history of the American theater, to decide he would never permit himself to assume any ungraceful attitude, even when he was alone. As a consequence, Booth is said to have had the epitome of unconscious grace on stage. His stage presence was said to be tremendous â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on and off the professional stage. Our enthusiasm presence can grow to be tremendous if we really sell ourselves on something and think of all the good that can come from it. This idea of thinking enthusiastically is not to suggest we be phony or assume a head-in-the clouds â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pollyannaâ&#x20AC;? attitude. Rather, it is to suggest we be real â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we thank God for our ability to be able to get turned on to something and to life itself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we be counted among those who are glad to be able to see the roses in the thorns instead of always being disgruntled over seeing the thorns in the roses. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993) described enthusiasm as â&#x20AC;&#x153;faith that has been set afire.â&#x20AC;? Thoreau said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;? Philosopher/essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882) said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;? The thoughts by these distinguished men, accompanied by my preceding words, present my answer to the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carl, what exactly is motivation?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Š 2009.

Pigeon Forge spotlights crafts during festivals From Submitted Reports
Submitted
The church recently held a dedication for their Little Dresses for Africa project. The dresses are given to children orphaned mainly due to HIV and AIDS.
CAse
PIGEON FORGE — Two major autumn festivals are planned in Pigeon Forge. Basket makers, carvers, painters and others will be part of the Pigeon Forge Rotary Club Craft Festival and Dollywood’s National Gospel and Harvest Celebration. The crafts festival through Oct. 30 is one of the region’s biggest, attracting almost 50 craftsmen, artists and exhibitors from more than a dozen states. It
takes place under a giant red and white tent at Patriot Park. Rotarians volunteer their time to run the festival, and proceeds benefit numerous charities. Dollywood’s National Gospel and Harvest Festival through Oct. 31 includes traditional and contemporary craftsmen and scores of free gospel music concerts. Among the featured crafts are
spinning, weaving, sorghum making, fiddle making, rug hooking and woodworking. The Pigeon Forge Harvestfest season continues through Oct. 31. During Harvestfest, businesses throughout the city erect fall displays of hay bales, scarecrows, cornstalks, pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers, mums and other symbols of the season.

given. “I had made a dress just to show the women in the church what it would look like,” she said. “I didn’t know that I could do it, but it turned out I could. But on the presentation was a little girl wearing this very same pillow case, and I just go so excited. That was like an affirmation that we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing.” “It just touched me so much that we could be a part of it,” said Callie Yarberry. “I mean here we live in the United States and we’re so blessed and things we take for granted like a simple pillow case, that would bless them so much, that would be something that would richly bless them.” “I don’t know where the Scripture is found, but do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” said Joyce Chandler. “You know we have to put ourselves in a position of thinking of others in that way and helping, really giving.” The dresses, which now look nothing like pillow cases, are in individual zip top bags, sorted by size and including a note
“I can unlock great information with my finger”
Gail Crutchfield/The Mountain Press
A note from Boyds Creek Church of God is included with each dress. reading “Given with love in Jesus’ name by Boyds Creek Church of God Sevierville, TN. U.S.A.” When those boxes are shipped off to Michigan, where they’ll eventually make their way to Africa, the project won’t be over. Finchum said she would continue to keep sewing. “And I’m sure these other women are going to want to be involved,” she said. “I just enjoyed doing it,”
said Frances Wilson, lead missionary for the church. “Knowing we can help someone who’s so much less fortunate than we are. I could say that so many years I’ve looked on TV at the children in Africa, and I’ve always wanted to do something more than send money. But to just lay hands on a project and make something that will be used, that means a lot to me.”

For the best flavor and value, go for whole spices By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press When fat is cut from recipes, flavor can follow. That’s when spices become the key to making lighter foods taste great. And if you want to get the most out of your spices, it’s best to follow a few simple tips. Whenever possible, buy whole spices, says Raghavan Iyer, author of “660 Curries.” Spices get their flavor from the oils inside. Once the spices are ground, the oils lose potency, which means freshly ground peppercorns pack more flavor than pepper purchased already ground. Whole spices also are a better value. Stored in airtight, glass containers away from heat, says Iyer, whole spices will stay fresh for at least a year. Ground spices
last for only a few months. Buy spices from the bulk section of a natural food store so that you can buy only what you need for a short period. That helps ensure your supply is always fresh. Prices for bulk also tend to be lower than for packaged. For grinding whole spices, a mortar and pestle are nice, but an inexpensive electric coffee grinder is faster and more convenient.

A wonderful comfort food, this Pulled Pork on Soft Polenta puts an Italian twist to pulled pork.
An Italian take on pulled pork — over polenta By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Spicy pulled pork over polenta only sounds like a culture clash. It oozes comfort and it makes more sense than you might think. Polenta, which is made from cornmeal, isn’t all that far removed from the corn tortillas and chips that partner so nicely with the Mexican flavors used to season the pulled pork. To keep this dish convenient, the soft polenta is made from a purchased prepared variety sold in tubes. Chopped and simmered with milk, this polenta quickly softens. Alternatively, you could skip the simmering step and instead oil and grill slices of the polenta. The pork is seasoned with bottled barbecue sauce and drained salsa. If you want to infuse even more flavor, consider adding bay leaves, fennel seeds, garlic cloves and whole black peppercorns to the cooking water.
Pulled Pork on Soft Polenta 1-lb. pork loin, cut into 3to 4-inch sections 16-oz. tube prepared polenta 3/4 c. whole milk 3/4 c. grated manchego cheese
concentrate 1 tsp. black or yellow mustard seeds 3 c. canned or cooked chickpeas, drained 2 tsp. coarse kosher salt or sea salt 1/4 tsp. turmeric 1/2 c. shredded dried unsweetened coconut, reconstituted 2 T. finely chopped fresh cilantro In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the split peas, coriander seeds and chilies. Cook, stirring constantly, until the split peas and coriander seeds are reddish brown and the chilies have blackened slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, skim off the spices and transfer them to a plate to cool for about 5 minutes. Do not discard the oil. Once the spices are cool,
put them in a spice grinder and grind until the texture resembles that of finely ground black pepper. In a medium bowl, combine the water and tamarind paste. Whisk to dissolve the tamarind. Return the saucepan to medium-high heat. When the oil is warmed, add the mustard seeds. Cover the pan and cook until the seeds have stopped popping (similar to popcorn), about 30 seconds. Stir in the chickpeas, salt and turmeric. Stir to coat the chickpeas evenly with the spices. Pour in the tamarind water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas absorb the flavors, 8 to 10 minutes, Stir in the ground spices, coconut and cilantro.

1 T. minced jarred jalapeno pepper slices 1 c. spicy barbecue sauce 1 c. salsa, drained 1/2 c. lightly crushed tortilla chips (optional) Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pork. Boil for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium, combine the polenta and milk. Heat, mashing and stirring the polenta, until smooth and creamy. Add additional milk if needed to reach a smooth consistency. Stir in the cheese and jalapeno peppers. Cover and set aside. When the pork is ready, remove it from the water. Discard the water and seasonings. Use forks or your fingers to pull the chunks apart into strands and return them to the pot. Add the barbecue sauce and salsa to the pork. Heat over medium-low until warm. To serve, spoon polenta onto each plate, then top with pulled pork. Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips, if using.

Advice
Expressing guilt, sadness over divorce may encourage daughter’s hope in reconciliation
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I have a 9-year-old daughter who I love more than anything in this world. Her mother and I split up when she was 2. “Carrie” is an amazing girl, and we are very close. I try to spend as much time with her as possible. I know she wishes she had both of her parents all the time, and looking back, I wish things could have turned out differently, but it’s too late now. I have explained to Carrie that life doesn’t always end up how we want, but her mother and I both love her very much. I encourage her to be open with me, but I get the impression that she is holding back. I wish I had a clear idea of how to handle this situation properly for her sake. When I dropped her off at her mom’s last night, she was fine until I was turning to leave, and then the tears started to pour. It kills me to see her so upset, and I feel helpless. The divorce has obviously taken its toll. How can I help her accept that her parents will never be together? I am beginning to blame myself for her unhappiness because I am the one who left the marriage. After last night, I can’t stop thinking about it and feel the need to do something. Any advice? — Grateful but Worried Dad Dear Grateful: Some children never give up the fantasy of having their divorced parents get back together. Showing Carrie how sad and guilty you feel gives her hope that she has influence over the outcome. The best thing you can do is help her adjust. See her as often as possible, show
her that life is still wonderful, and be absolutely firm about your status. If she continues to burst into tears every time you drop her off at Mom’s, please consider counseling for her. Dear Annie: A woman who works with my husband has begun to send overly friendly e-mails to him. He also tells me she has been making passes at him at work. My husband has tried to deal with the situation, and I trust him completely, but she continues to act inappropriately. I will be attending a company function with my husband soon, and this woman will be there. What can I say to her to let her know I’m aware of what’s going on? I don’t want to make a scene. — Ticked-Off Wife Dear Ticked Off: You should politely ignore her. Ending this situation is your husband’s responsibility. He must make it abundantly clear to this woman that he is not interested, that he has informed you of the situation, that he would like her to cease and desist all such overtures, and that if she doesn’t, he will report her to her superiors. If he refuses to do this, you have an entirely different problem. Dear Annie: Regarding “Nervous Nick,” whose wife stopped smoking a year

ago and is now using nicotine gum — talk to her! I am on oxygen 24/7. I stopped smoking two years ago, and it is still hard to resist the urge for a cigarette. My lung function is 25 percent, but even right now, I would enjoy a smoke. You can’t imagine how difficult it is for some of us to quit. It is a constant battle, so please talk to her, praise her for quitting, but don’t overdo it. I wish the truth could be told about emphysema. It is a slow, agonizing death. At first, breathing is shallow, and then it gets worse and you become weaker and weaker. I can only walk about 10 feet, and a gallon of milk is too heavy to carry. I can dress myself, but am not strong enough to take a shower. In spite of this, I had two cigarettes in the last year. I am so ashamed. God gave me a strong, beautiful body, and I destroyed it. — Granny in Southern California Dear Granny: Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and your letter proves how difficult it is to overcome. We’ll be thinking of you. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
