SEVIERVILLE — As they come into their busiest season of the year, a time when lines waiting for their help regularly snake out the doors and into the cold, supporters of Sevier County Food Ministries are hoping the county is willing to pitch in to provide them a bit more space to serve those in need. The group is undertaking a big fundraising campaign on something of a crash course, hoping to raise $182,000 to pay for an expansion in just a few months. As if that wasn’t enough, its leadership is very aware all that will have to be done at time when need for its help is greatest and donations to provide food to the hungry must still be collected. Ministry Director Steve Streibig says he knows it’s a daunting challenge, particularly coming just weeks after the organization announced it was running almost at empty in its food pantry. That situation has now been fixed thanks to both an insurgence of food from the Knoxville food bank and the generosity of local residents, who collected thousands of non-perishable items for the group. “We have a lot of confidence in this community and the people who have supported us,” Streibig says. “They’ve come through for us in the past in big ways. We feel like this is a project the people will rally around with us.” Even with that faith in the agency’s supporters, Streibig understands the difficulty of the task ahead. There’s the short deadline, which Streibig points out isn’t set in stone but is still a goal, and the fact that plenty of local folks, including those who regularly donate to the group, are struggling in these economic times.

ENGLISH MOUNTAIN— If you love talking John Deere vs International, you would have been in your element Saturday at Chip’s Antiques on Newport Highway. The English Mountain Tractor and Gas Engine Show came to an end Saturday, but not before participants got plenty of time to swap parts and, at least as impor-
tantly, stories. The show is a relatively new event. Organizers said it has grown “ten folds” since an earlier show and they hope to see it keep getting bigger. Dale Hill, one of the organizers, said he has been collecting old gas engine equipment for 20 years. “The parts are getting hard to find now,” he said. He goes to shows around the Southeast and some even farther out. He and some friends thought
it would be fun to start a show here, and they’ve been working at it for a while. Between just getting started and bad weather, the first shows didn’t do as well, but they think now it’s starting to catch on. There were dozens of tractors at the show Saturday, and they’re hoping to see more when they do it again. That’s set for the first weekend See DEERE, Page A4

TFC is a farm supply organization owned by Sevier and 56 other coops. Farm Fest was the followup to the first event held in 2008. Both days gave the farmers from Sevier
Farmers Co-op, which has locations in Sevierville and Waynesville, N.C., a chance to see the assets they own as cooperative members and learn more about products, equipment and the latest agricultural practices. Although some Farm Fest attendees had visited TFC’s 147-acre LaVergne campus before, this was the first opportunity for many to tour the facilities and learn about the feed and hardware products manufactured on site. Nearly 100 vendors participated in an accompanying trade
show, and educational sessions were taught by co-op and industry experts on topics such as pastures, adjuvants, livestock nutrition, precision agriculture, commodity markets, and sprayer nozzles and applications. “It gave our farmers a chance to see what is going on at TFC and where their products come from,� said Anthony Hastings, general manager of Sevier Farmers Co-op. “The feedback from everyone has been good.

By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam is disputing criticism from his Democratic opponent Mike McWherter that he’s not supportive of Tennessee’s pre-kindergarten program. Haslam said in an interview with The Associated Press editors and reporters last week that his position is no different than McWherter’s in wanting to expand the program once state’s budget woes wane. “I’ve said all along that I think pre-K, where it is, should remain in place,” Haslam said. “And when we have the money available we should look at expanding it.” McWherter in an earlier interview with the AP said Haslam’s dedication to expand the program is tepid, and has noted that Republicans in the Legislature have been suspicious of the program ever since Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen began expanding it in 2005. “I can’t believe where Bill Haslam is coming from on that issue, because I believe it involves the future of our state,” McWherter said. Haslam said he’s mystified by McWherter’s characterization of his position. “Mike says: ’Gosh, I’m for pre-K and Bill’s not,”’ Haslam said. “That’s not the issue.” Both agree education is a key issue for voters. Beyond the argument over pre-K, though, neither gubernatorial candidate is proposing a significant break with the education policies put into

of April; they hope to have another fall show next October. For the folks there who weren’t worried about overseeing the event, it was just a crisp fall day out with friends, both new and old. “We just kind of getaway from the family and have a good time,” said Ed Pettit, of Mohawk, Tenn. Not all the family, though. He was there with his brother, Joe. They heard about the show — Hill and his friends took flyers to shows all around the region — and decided to come to check it out. “We sit around and shoot the bull, and sometimes we trade parts, too,” he said with a grin. Cedar Hayes, of Kodak, was there with his son, Jesse. They both have tractors they like to show, and they like the chance to meet people with similar interests, Cedar said.
“The shows are a lot of fun,” he said. “You meet a lot of old-timers and you can learn a lot from them.” n jfarrell@themountainpress.com
“I know people are going to wonder why we don’t just wait a couple years until things improve before we start this,” Streibig admits. “I understand that but, at the same time, I don’t know if there’s ever a ‘better time’ to start something like this.” What Streibig and the others involved in the effort are certain of is that, better time or not, this has to be the right time for it. A letter sent out by the group’s steering committee points out the ministry served 135 families during its first days of operations 18 years ago. As the local population has grown, that number has increased to 1,123 families helped each week now and Streibig expects that number to run as high as 1,500 families around the holidays, the agency’s busiest time of year. The steering group, which launched the campaign in September, points out the local population is only expected to grow and, in turn, their numbers will likely increase. Further, it
effect by Bredesen over his two terms in office. Both said they would work to build on the tougher standards and federal Race to the Top changes the term-limited governor worked to create. Both support fully funding the state portion that goes to K-12 education and is set by a formula known as BEP. Haslam said he would create academies to mentor programs to develop better school principals, while McWherter wants to encourage greater involvement by parents. Haslam said we would work to make teacher tenure tougher to attain, while McWherter said tenure gives teachers the job security they deserve. Pre-K has dominated the early education discussion since the Republican primary. Haslam said his main concern about would be how to afford expanding the program beyond “at risk” children, education jargon for those who qualify for free
and reduced price meals. Since the 2005 law went into effect, the pre-K program has expanded from 148 classrooms to more than 900, with an enrollment of more than 18,000 children and an annual cost of about $83 million a year. Bredesen’s original goal was to make pre-K available to any family regardless of income. Projections indicated about 60 percent of eligible kids would attend, but those plans were put on hold because the administration estimated they would cost an additional $148 million a year amid worsening economic conditions. Haslam said it would take even more money, or about $300 million, to make the program universally available. “And I don’t think we can say we’re going to do that until we know where that $300 million comes from,” he said. Still, the McWherter camp
seems unlikely this will be the last economic downturn the nation will face, with the potential for future ones driving the numbers even higher. That’s why they’re proposing that the group add on to its existing Old Knoxville Highway facility, pushing its walls out toward the front and back to make room for more space for food storage, counseling services and distribution. It’s that latter concern that seems the most pressing need. “We’re coming into the winter and we know from years past that we will have lines that have people standing outside for long periods,” Streibig says. “They’re doing that on cold days and days when it’s raining. We just need to be able to serve our neighbors, those folks who need our help, better.” Beyond that, there are real needs at the building that have been ignored for some time as the group has debated how to proceed. The committee’s letter points out part of the project would be repairing a roof that has “serious and frequent leaks.”
“The need has been there. It’s not something that we took lightly and just one day decided we want to expand,” Streibig says. Already there have been some signs the community is ready to back the bid. Hugh Ogle, the retired owner of Community Techtonics, has offered to draw up the architectural plans for free, while construction project manager Don Hubbard donated his time to supervise the effort, the committee’s letter notes. Through it all, the ministry has committed to not allowing for any interruptions in the services it already provides, knowing that the thousands of local folks, the people Streibig is careful to call “neighbors,” who depend on them will

notes that Haslam appears to have shifted his approach to pre-K over time. Haslam was on hand for a 2005 ceremony in Knoxville when Bredesen signed into a law the measure to use $25 million from lottery funds to expand pre-K from what had been a pilot program. “If we are going to compete we have to have more kids graduate from high school and more kids go to college,” Haslam said at the time. “And if they are going to do that, they are going to (need) a great early start.” But during the Republican primary campaign — when some opponents and many voters were far more skeptical of the program — Haslam said that when it came to funding priorities, he would “probably make a distinction” between pre-K and the rest of Tennessee’s education budget. Haslam also said then that along with waiting for the state’s budget picture to improve, he would also want to consider more data on the effectiveness of the program before thinking about an expansion. “We as state government are going to have to focus and make some very hard choices,” Haslam said in May. “Because of that it would be my recommendation to leave pre-K in place where it is now.” Haslam in the AP interview rejected the suggestion that his position has evolved since winning the GOP nomination in August. The candidates have something in common when it comes to education: Both sent their children to private schools.
still need that help. “Forty percent of our donations come in during November and December, and we’re still going to need that just to keep the ministry running. We understand one of the biggest challenges will be keeping people from thinking, ‘Well, I gave to their building fund so I don’t need to support the ministry,’” he says. “We’re going to do everything we can to fight that misconception.” For more information about helping the ministry both in its regular efforts to provide food to local residents in need and its new push to raise money for planned expansion, call its office at 428-5182. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

NATION/WORLD BRIEFS No boost in Social Security checks
WASHINGTON (AP) — As if voters don’t have enough to be angry about this election year, the government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through another year without an increase in their monthly benefits. It would mark only the second year without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975. The first year was this year. “If you’re the ruling party, this is not the sort of thing you want to have happening two weeks before an election,” said Andrew Biggs, a former deputy commissioner at the Social Security Administration and now a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

House. WTFV-TV in Nashville reported that there was a picnic on the plaza of the Opry House with free live music during lunch. The party came just months after a flood left the venue soaking in water. The Opry’s stage sat under nearly 4 feet of water at the flood’s height in early May. A months long restora-
tion project cleaned the building and replaced the stage, dressing rooms and audience seating. “They’ve done a wonderful job revamping it, and it’s even better than it was,” Parton said. Parton sang three songs, including “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.” Swift performed an acoustic version of her new, chart-topping hit, “Mine.” The celebration also featured well-known stars from the Opry’s past and concluded with the presentation of a large birthday cake and a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday to You.”
Gang suspects arraigned in NYC anti-gay attack NEW YORK (AP) — Eight gang suspects arrested in the torture of two teenage boys and a man in an antigay attack were arraigned Sunday on hate crime charges, standing in a courtroom with their heads down and their hands cuffed behind them as their relatives wept. The charges include robbery, assault, sexual abuse and unlawful imprisonment as hate crimes. The defendants didn’t enter pleas, and police were looking for a ninth suspect, who had been expected to turn himself in but didn’t show up. The nine members of the Latin King Goonies gang earlier this month heard a rumor one of their teenage recruits was gay and then found the teen, stripped him, beat him and sodomized him with a plunger handle until he confessed to having had sex with a man, police say. The gang members then found a second teen they suspected was gay and tortured him and the man, police say. The gang members found the man by inviting him to a house, telling him they were having a party, police say. When he arrived, they burned, beat and tortured him for hours and sodomized him with a miniature baseball bat, police say. The suspects arraigned Sunday were identified as Ildefonzo Mendez, 23; Elmer Confresi, 23; David Rivera, 21; Steven Caraballo, Denis Peitars, Nelson Falu and Bryan Almonte, all 17; and Brian Cepeda, 16. Bronx Criminal Court Judge Harold Adler set bail for Peitars and Caraballo at $100,000 bond or $50,000 cash; the other six were held without bail. Two attorneys, Paul Horowitz and Fred Bittlingmeyer, represented the eight at the hearing but didn’t expect to represent all of them through the legal process. Bittlingmeyer, representing Peitars, said his client only punched one of the complainants after the other defendants said they “were going to find out who the men are in this room and who the fags are in this room.” Bittlingmeyer said if Peitars didn’t throw a punch he would have been attacked himself. He also denied it
was a scheme by a gang, describing it as people getting together on a Sunday night and “one individual let it get out of hand.” Horowitz, representing Caraballo, said his client had not previously been in trouble with the law and “denies the allegations.” He said the only offense of which Caraballo was accused was hitting one of the complainants with his fist. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was sickened by the accusations of violence “and saddened by the anti-gay
bias.” The beatings, which occurred Oct. 3 in the Bronx, followed a string of anti-gay attacks and teen suicides attributed to anti-gay bullying that have led to nationwide soul-searching. About a week ago, a patron at the Stonewall Inn, a Manhattan bar that’s been a symbol of the gay rights movement since protests over a 1969 police raid there, was beaten in an anti-gay attack, prosecutors said. On Sept. 22, a New Jersey university student killed himself after his gay sex-

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) — After more than two months trapped deep in a Chilean mine, 33 miners were so giddy with confidence, officials said Sunday, they were arguing over who would be the last to take a twisting 20-minute ride to daylight and the embrace of those they love. Officials have drawn up a tentative list of the order in which the 33 miners should be rescued, and Health Minister Jaime Manalich said the otherwise cooperative miners were squabbling about it — so sure of the exit plan that they are asking to let their comrades be first to reach the surface, probably on Wednesday.

Burke, 70, died early Sunday of natural causes at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, his family said in a statement on the singer’s website.

Park hopes to avoid problems with bears ONEIDA (AP) — There have been no incidents of bear aggression at the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, despite a growing black bear population. And park officials hope to keep it that way. Black bears are relatively new to the park, having been nearly wiped out on the Cumberland Plateau by the late 1880s. But efforts beginning in the mid 1990s to reintroduce them have been very successful.
Now park officials face the challenge of trying to keep the bears from associating humans with food. “We’re trying to stay ahead of the curve so we don’t experience some of the early problems the Smokies went through,” park resource management chief Tom Blount said. “We have not had to deal with what the Smokies has had in terms of aggressive behavior at this point.” Big South Fork has installed bear-proof

Big South Fork covers almost 125,000 acres in Tennessee and Kentucky and biologists say the area has high-quality bear habitat with plentiful food and winter den sites. The bear population is doing well and the number of sightings by visitors and park staff has been on the rise. But not all visitors are happy to see a bear.

commentary
Photos can preserve short lives of babies I’ve never had the horror of losing a child. I have two grown kids and two little grandbabies that are healthy and doing well, thank God. I can’t really imagine what that would feel like — some people can. My great-nephew and his wife lost their baby about a year ago to a rare heart defect that went undetected until the life of the baby girl suddenly expired without notice. They are still dealing with that hurt. It just about ended their marriage and is taking a high toll on their emotional state. I’ve recently come to learn about an organization that does something that at first I couldn’t grasp. It was like hearing something, and you have to ask again to see if you heard right. The organization is called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, or NILMDTS. They take photographs of babies who will live only minutes or hours after birth, or even stillborn. I had never heard of this concept, but did some research and found that it was legitimate and met a most needed desire of the parents. I was turned on to it by a friend of mine, Megan Ownby, who is one of the associated photographers and volunteers her time and efforts to this great cause — in some people’s opinion, a ministry. I saw her wearing a rubber wrist bracelet and asked her what it said. The NILMDTS organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and no one receives pay or compensation for their services. There is no cost to the parents, as all the pictures are freely taken and given back to them. The parents may suggest the poses and have full control of how and what the photographer takes. NILMDTS also provide formal training for those interested in getting involved. It is not training in photography, though. In years past, when parents were told that their baby might die, doctors encouraged them not to bond with the infant; people expected them to get on with life. Well, that has changed. Yes, the families will move on eventually, but now, they will celebrate their baby, even with the short time they will get to spend with it. They are acknowledging that the child is real and theirs and always will be. Without pictures, memories fade. Imagine the confusion, devastation, heartbreak and the sorrow of finding out that your baby will never come home from the hospital. Theses families will only get one chance to capture the fleeting memories on film and never get to see their child grow beyond this point. Imagine the shattered dreams. Now, with genetic testing an everyday occurrence, parents know when their baby will not survive and may now be prepared to take advantage of what NILMDTS offers. Most of the photography in our area takes place at the University of Tennessee Medical Center where they are better able to deal with high-risk pregnancies. The photographers know that when they get the call to preserve someone’s baby in pictures, they have a very short time and window to make it happen. Of course, knowing when a mother will go into labor gives more time for them to get to the hospital. There are around 3,200 photographers nationwide and another 3,800 worldwide that participate with NILMDTS. Mission statement: “To introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with the free gift of professional portraiture. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family’s healing process by honoring the child’s legacy.” October is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month and Oct. 15 is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Day. Every year a million pregnancies in the U.S. end in miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of the newborn. Life is precious, even for a few moments in time. What a contrast to the mothers who have a million and a half of their babies murdered in the womb each year in this country. No wonder God’s judgment is all over us. We have made Molech very proud.

Editorial
An alarming fact Smoke alarms save lives, so make sure your home has them in working order Thanks to the outreach of our local fire departments, children and others in Sevier County are learning about the dangers of fire, ways to prevent fires in the home and the value of smoke detectors that are functioning. Representatives from local fire departments visited schools and conducted classes on fire safety. “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!” was the official theme for Fire Prevention Week last week. This year’s campaign was designed to educate people about the importance of smoke alarms and encourage everyone to take the steps necessary to update and maintain their home smoke alarm protection. The National Fire Protection Association has done extensive research into fires and their causes. In 2009, home structure fires accounted for one in four reported fires. However, these incidents caused 85 percent of all civilian fire deaths. Here are some more facts you might want to know: n In 2009, there were 1.3 million fires
reported in the United States. These caused 3,000 civilian deaths, 17,050 civilian injuries and $12.5 billion in property damage. n 480,500 were structure fires, causing 2,700 civilian deaths, 14,740 civilian injuries, and $10.8 billion in property damage. n 219,000 were vehicle fires, causing 280 civilian fire deaths, 1,610 civilian fire injuries, and $1.4 billion in property damage. n 649,000 were outside and other fires, causing 35 civilian fire deaths, 700 civilian fire injuries, and $328 million in property damage. n The number of fires in 209 was down about 7 percent from 2008, an encouraging sign and one that might be traced to the growing use of smoke alarms. That use is a direct result of the continuing education done by local fire departments all over the country. Families can still get a free smoke alarm by contacting their local fire station. While many areas of the county are
still covered by volunteer fire departments, we count on them to save our homes and rescue our trapped loved ones. Here are some things you should know about how busy our nation’s fire departments were in 2009: n A fire department responded to a fire every 23 seconds. n One structure fire was reported every 66 seconds. n One home structure fire was reported every 87 seconds n One civilian fire injury was reported every 31 minutes. n One civilian fire death occurred every 2 hours and 55 minutes. n One outside fire was reported every 49 seconds. n One vehicle fire was reported every 146 seconds. If you see a firefighter, thank them. If you need a smoke alarm in your home, ask for one. If you have kids, talk to them about fire safety and escape routes in the home. Unless you can guarantee you’ll never be affected by a fire, you need to be ready for one.

Public forum Gatlinburg needs to do something about needed signage around town
Editor: I sympathize with the Stums of Florida who questioned why there are no signs in downtown Gatlinburg stating parking regulations. I looked and they’re right. There must be a sign thief around Gatlinburg. Can you imagine a stop sign disappearing on a busy road? It happened on Roaring Fork at the new bridge intersection. I called the city and was told it wasn’t going to be replaced. According to the fellow who answered the phone, the “engineer in charge” didn’t think it was necessary. No traffic study was done, and no survey of the residents who use the road daily. I called TDOT and got no more information than a “We’ll look into it.”

Titans corral Cowboys
Johnson pads lead with 3rd at Fontana By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer
Associated Press
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt (18) celebrates as he makes a touchdown reception during the first half of an NFL football game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in Arlington, Texas. Titans 34, Cowboys 27. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Chris Johnson scored a pair of 1-yard touchdowns in the fourth quarter, lifting the Tennessee Titans to a 34-27 victory over the mistake-prone Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys got behind 17-3 with penalties and errors on defense. Dallas managed to tie it at 17 and 20, then a tipped pass that was intercepted set up Johnson’s first touchdown of the final period. Tony Romo tied it again at 27 on a touchdown throw to Jason Witten, then offensive lineman Marc Colombo was penalized 15 yards for celebrating. Dallas (1-3) kicked off from farther back and Tennessee’s Marc Mariani returned it to the 11. A penalty on the tackle moved the ball to the 5, setting up Johnson’s next touchdown. The Titans (3-2) won their 11th straight against an NFC team, the NFL’s longest active non-conference win streak. Colts 19, Chiefs 9 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Hill scored the game’s only touchdown on an 11-yard run with 4:02 to go and the Indianapolis Colts handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season 19-9 on Sunday, leaving the NFL without any unbeaten teams. Lions 44, Rams 6 DETROIT (AP) — Stefan Logan’s 105-yard kickoff return broke a tie and sent the Lions to their first win of the season and ended a 10-game losing streak. The win was the Lions’ most-lopsided since beating the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars 44-0 in 1995. Ravens 31, Broncos 17 BALTIMORE (AP) — Ray Rice ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and Baltimore frustrated Denver quarterback Kyle Orton. Baltimore (4-1) jumped to a 17-0 lead and coasted to its third straight win, the first this season by double digits. The Ravens moved past idle Pittsburgh into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Giants 34, Texans 10 HOUSTON (AP) — Eli Manning threw two of his three touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks and the Giants held Houston to a franchise-low 24 yards rushing. Redskins 16, Packers 13, OT LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Graham Gano kicked a 33-yard field goal 6:54 into overtime to lift Washington. The winning score was set up by LaRon Landry’s diving interception of Aaron Rodgers at the Packers 39. The Redskins moved the ball with the help of two penalties to set up Gano’s kick. Bears 23, Panthers 6 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Matt Forte rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns, Julius Peppers had an acrobatic
interception against his former team and Chicago overcame four interceptions by backup Todd Collins to keep Carolina winless. Falcons 20, Browns 10 CLEVELAND (AP) — Defensive end Kroy Biermann’s spectacular interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter led Atlanta. Jaguars 36, Bills 26 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Tight end Marcedes Lewis caught two touchdowns passes as Jacksonville rallied from a 10-point deficit to keep Buffalo winless. David Garrard shook off an interception and a lost fumble to throw for three touchdowns as the Jaguars (3-2) snapped a four-game road skid. Mike Sims-Walker’s 7-yard touchdown put the Jaguars ahead for good, 27-20 lead late in the third quarter. Buccaneers 24, Bengals 21 CINCINNATI (AP) — Carson Palmer’s third interception gave Tampa Bay one last chance, and Connor Barth kicked a 31-yard field goal with 1 second left. Second-year quarterback Josh Freeman set up the winning kick with a sensational pass, hitting Micheal Spurlock along the sideline for a 21-yard completion to the 13. Spurlock kept both toes inbound for a falling-down catch that was upheld on review. Cardinals 30, Saints 20. GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Max Hall’s debut as Arizona’s quarterback was a winning one as the Cardinals defense intercepted three passes by Drew Brees and went on to a 30-20 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Goodell: Looking at facts in Favre case OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed Sunday that the league is looking into allegations Vikings quarterback Brett Favre sent racy messages and lewd photos to a game hostess when he played for the Jets in 2008. “We are going through that and we are making sure we understand all the facts,” Goodell said at halftime of the Chargers-Raiders game. Goodell added once the investigation is complete, “we’ll make a determination from there.” Should Favre be found to have violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy, he could be fined or suspended. Deadspin posted a story Thursday which included several voicemails allegedly sent by Favre to Jenn Sterger, who worked for the Jets at the time. The voicemails include a man asking to meet with Sterger, who now is a TV personality for the Versus network. The website posted a video that contained the voicemails and several graphic pictures — said to be Favre — that were allegedly sent to Sterger’s cell phone.
FONTANA, Calif. — Tony Stewart outdueled points leader Jimmie Johnson on a late restart and pulled away for his first career Sprint Cup win at Auto Club Speedway on Sunday. Stewart started 22nd after a rough qualifying day, but was strong from the start of a lead-swapping 400mile race, the final fall date at Fontana. He vaulted five spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with his first win in 19 tries at California, but Johnson pushed his points cushion to 36 over Denny Hamlin with six races left. Clint Bowyer went around Johnson on the final lap to finish second in his first race without suspended crew chief Shane Wilson. It wasn’t such a good day for several other Chase drivers. Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards all had their Chase chances dented by engine troubles, and Matt Kenseth finished a disappointing 30th. Stewart was well back in the Chase after running out of fuel while leading late at Loudon and struggling Dover. He had a good showing last week at Kansas, finishing fourth, but still entered this weekend 10th in points, 127 behind Johnson. After the so-so qualifying run, “Smoke” started working his way to the front and was fifth by the midpoint. He took the lead with 51 laps left and snagged it back after briefly falling behind to Juan Pablo Montoya. In the lead again late, Stewart opted not to pit after an accident took out Chase driver Kurt Busch and pulled away from Johnson on the restart with two laps left. Bowyer passed Johnson, but was nowhere close to Stewart at the end. Stewart moved up to fifth in the Chase, 107 points behind Johnson. Johnson had made his now-expected surge to the top of the Chase standings, using a win at Dover and second last week at Kansas after a poor qualifying session to move past Hamlin. This one has a little different feel, though, the aura of invincibility gone from the No. 48 after an atypical up-and-down season. Nine drivers were within 101 points after Kansas, making it one of the tightest races Johnson has faced during his Cup-after-Cup run. Still, he had won four of his previous six starts at Fontana, including the past three fall races, and started a solid eighth Sunday while many of those chasing him had trouble in Friday’s qualifying. Five of the first six spots on the grid were nabbed by non-Chasers and only Kenseth (third) and Biffle (seventh) were in the Top 10. Way behind them were Chasers Harvick (21st), Stewart (22nd), Hamlin (34th) and Kurt Busch (38th) who had a lot of chasing to do. Hamlin’s climb became even tougher when he was dropped to the back of the field for a transmission change. The good news for them is that Auto Club Speedway is nearly as wide as nearby Interstate 10, passing open even at four-wide.
Conrad’s 3rd error puts Braves in hole ATLANTA (AP) — San Francisco rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Brooks Conrad’s third error of the game to claim the lead in the NL division series Sunday. The Giants are up two games to one and can close out the best-of-five series Monday night. The Braves did nothing against Jonathan Sanchez, managing only two hits in 7 1-3 innings, before pinch-hitter Eric Hinske lined a two-run homer off Sergio Romo for a 2-1 lead. Atlanta didn’t have closer Billy Wagner, out with a pulled muscle on his left side. Rookie reliever Craig Kimbrel was within one out of the save before the Giants rallied. Aubrey Huff tied it with a run-scoring single off Mike Dunn. Then, Buster Posey’s hard grounder toward second went under Conrad’s glove to bring home the winning run.
Rays back to Trop alive after 5-2 win over Texas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena and the Rays are headed back to The Trop, one victory away from an improbable comeback. Longoria snapped out of his postseason slump with a homer and two doubles, Pena scored twice with a pair of extra-base hits of his own and Tampa Bay escaped elimination again with a 5-2 victory Sunday over the Texas Rangers. After losing the first two games of the AL division series at home, the Rays won both games in Texas to force a deciding Game 5 at Tropicana Field. Rookie right-hander Wade Davis pitched into the sixth, getting out of a base-loaded jam in the fifth when he struck out Vladimir Guerrero. Rafael Soriano worked a perfect ninth for the save.

Spurrier focused on backing up ’Bama win By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. — Steve Spurrier’s not yet sure how important South Carolina’s first victory over a No. 1 opponent will be. He hopes everyone finds out in the next few weeks. “If we can go on from here and become a real solid team, maybe we can look back and say this is a big one,� Spurrier said Sunday. Spurrier and the Gamecocks were still celebrating South Carolina’s landmark win, 35-21, over Alabama on Saturday. Coaches and players have gotten texts and calls of congratulations from practically everyone they know, Spurrier said. But if the Gamecocks (4-1, 2-1 SEC) don’t continue to show the same focus they did against previously top-ranked Alabama (5-1, 2-1), the achievement won’t mean as much. “We know one big win doesn’t make a season,� he said. But it’s sure a great way to kickstart a championship run. Spurrier remembered how in 1989, his lightly regarded Duke squad beat ACC favorite and seventhranked Clemson, 21-17, early in the season. The Blue Devils went on to tie for the conference title, the last football championship in school history. “That was a big win in ’89 because we won all the conference games after that,� Spurrier said. That’s something that’s rarely easy in the SEC, where South Carolina hasn’t reached the title game in its 19 seasons as members. The Gamecocks’ challenge starts next week at Kentucky, which has never beat Spurrier in 17 tries. South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia understands what must happen to continue the success. “We just have to play this well every week,� said Garcia, who tied his career best with three touchdown passes Saturday. And keep getting the ball to playmakers in tail-

back Marcus Lattimore and receiver Alshon Jeffery. Lattimore, a freshman, rushed for 93 yards and two backbreaking, second-half TDs to thwart an Alabama comeback. Jeffery, the SEC’s leading receiver coming in, caught seven passes for 127 yards, including touchdowns of 26 and 15 yards. “That gives you a chance when you’ve got a big time running back and wide receiver,� Spurrier said. Spurrier sure would know. Duke wideout Clarkston Hines was the 1989 ACC player of the year and tailback Randy Cuthbert became the Blue Devils’ first 1,000-yard rusher in 20 years, Spurrier recalled with pride. Of course, Spurrier
attracted some of the game’s best skill combos during 12 seasons at Florida, which led to six SEC titles and the 1996 national championships. Lattimore and Jeffery have yet to win any college titles, but showed they can match up with the game’s best in beating the Crimson Tide. South Carolina scored touchdowns all four times inside Alabama’s 20 after the defending national champions had allowed only two such TDs its first five games. “You don’t win football games when you don’t stop them once in the red zone,� said Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose team slipped to eighth in the rankings.

Jets back up bragging heading to Vikes
sports briefs Westwood set to replace Woods
By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Lee Westwood is set to replace Tiger Woods at the top of the rankings Oct. 31 after saying Sunday he does not expect to play again until November because of an ankle injury. The Englishman will climb to No. 1 if he does not return before the end of the month and Woods follows through with his intention not to play again until the HSBC Champions on Nov. 4-7. Westwood has been struggling with a right ankle injury and finished tied for 11th at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Woods has topped the rankings for over five years, since the week before the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst. Woods will have been at No. 1 for 279 weeks in today’s rankings.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Other than boxers, wrestlers and the occasional diva wide receiver, professional athletes tend to be careful with their words. Rex Ryan would rather be careful with the football. His philosophy: Let the verbiage flow. As long as you back up what you say, what does it matter, anyway? So far, Ryan’s New York Jets are putting up, so they don’t have to shut up. When they meet Brett Favre, Randy Moss and the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night — the Jets’ third primetime game in five weeks — it’s an opportunity to solidify their role as a title contender. And yet another chance to brag. “No. 1, we’ve got a good football team here, an excellent football team,” Ryan said. “We’ve got guys that are passionate about each other; this is a team.” That 3-1 team meets a 1-2 Vikings squad that is trying to avoid being dis-
Serena postpones comeback
LINZ, Austria (AP) — Serena Williams’ comeback was delayed yet again because her injured right foot hadn’t healed properly. Williams pulled out of this week’s Generali Ladies Linz tournament. Williams felt pain while training in Florida on Saturday and a scan showed her injury hadn’t healed properly, organizers said in a statement Sunday. Williams has been sidelined since July after cutting her foot on broken glass at a restaurant after winning Wimbledon.
TO’s tweet violates NFL’s rules
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson insisted it didn’t take him long to forget about his poor performance in a 34-17 loss to Michigan State. “That’s out the window,” Robinson said Saturday about 15 minutes after the game. “We have to get ready for Iowa.” Indeed. The Wolverines (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten) can’t afford to dwell on their defeat, a third straight to the Spartans, because the 15thranked Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0) are coming to town after a bye week with the conference’s top-ranked defense
Vandy coach sorry for onsides kick
NASHVILLE (AP) — Vanderbilt football coach Robbie Caldwell apologized for what he described as an accidental onside kick recovered by the Commodores. Caldwell says he wasn’t trying to run up the score against Eastern Michigan on Saturday when freshman Jordan Matthews caught the kick with Vanderbilt leading 38-6. The Commodores took the ball and scored on a 56-yard touchdown drive.

against the run. Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez acknowledged it might be tough for his team to quickly move past getting dominated at home by rival Michigan State. “It’ll be difficult for 24 hours,” Rodriguez said. He quickly added, though, that the Wolverines need to focus all of their energy toward preparing for the Hawkeyes. “We got a real good team coming in next Saturday — Iowa — and they’ve had an open week to get ready for us,” he said. “It’ll test our guys’ mettle.” Robinson will be tested mentally and physically

cial locker room. Our guys compete. They love it. “The thing I’m really proud of is the way they prepare ... the way our guys study and do the extra things, take care of themselves in the weight room. That gives us an edge over a lot of teams.” Most teams don’t like to give any sort of verbal edge to the opposition. You know, the old pin-it-up-on-thebulletin-board advantage. Ryan’s Jets don’t care. That became clear in 2009, when they went to the AFC championship game as a wild card. It was clear this summer when they were featured in HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” and their brand of braggadocio made the show a hit. It’s still clear. Favre, who went 9-7 with the Jets before retiring for a second time, recognizes it. “They’re playing as well as anyone in the league, and that’s not just blowing smoke,” the NFL’s career passing leader said. “Obviously the guys love (Ryan), he’s brash, and they respond to him.”
Robinson: Bad game ‘out the window’
CINCINNATI (AP) — A message on Terrell Owens’ Twitter feed violates the NFL’s rules against using social media before games. A post on his Twitter account noted that a fan wearing his jersey at the Bengals’ game against Tampa Bay on Sunday would get a football signed by him and Chad Ochocinco. The message was posted an hour before kickoff, violating the NFL’s social media policy that prohibits posts 90 minutes before a game. Owens was on the field shortly after the message was posted. Even if someone posted it on his behalf, it would violate the league’s rules. ayer fined for violating the year-old policy.

tracted by accusations from a former Jets game hostess that Favre sent her inappropriate messages and lewd photos when he played for the Jets in 2008. Favre would not respond last week to a report on the website Deadspin, which also said he came on to massage therapists who worked part-time for the Jets. On the field, New York has looked as good as anyone since an opening 10-9 loss to Baltimore. The Jets then swept their division rivals by beating the Patriots, Dolphins and Bills in rather convincing fashion. “Nobody felt worse than we did after that game,” Ryan said of the defeat in the Jets’ first real game in their new stadium. “We did give great effort, but the results weren’t great. We have to talk about this the whole season. We lost to a good team by a point. “Our team is resilient. We proved that last year when we were the first team in NFL history to overcome two three-game losing streaks (and make the playoffs). I think that spoke volumes about our team. We have a spe-

Advice
Behavior of roommate’s boyfriend has woman on verge of moving out
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: My roommate, “Trish,” and I are good friends, and we are both attending the same college. Last spring, her boyfriend spent a lot of time at our apartment. He stayed overnight several times, which made me uncomfortable. I spoke with both of them about it and offered to spend one night a week at my parents’ house so they could have the apartment to themselves. Trish agreed, but her boyfriend didn’t. He continued to hang out at the apartment even when she wasn’t there and liked to walk around in his underwear without a shirt. The boyfriend left for the summer and came back two weeks ago. Today, he came by the apartment and lounged in the living room with his shirt up and his pants unzipped. Even after I told him his fly was open, he didn’t fix it. He doesn’t respect my roommate or me, and I’m tired of being ignored. Trish is a dear friend, but I’m ready to move out. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, so is there any way I can make him listen to me? -- No More Patience Dear No More: No. He has no interest in listening to you, and if Trish has asked him to be more respectful (we doubt it), he doesn’t listen to her, either. Regardless, she permits this, which means she prefers his company to yours. Tell Trish you are so sorry, but the situation has become intolerable and you are moving out. We don’t think she will object too strongly. Find another roommate and another apartment. This one, apparently, is taken. Dear Annie: My daughter, “Jennifer,” is 33 years old and has a 2-year-old child. Jennifer is generally a good mother, but she does two things that I question. The first is that she forces my granddaughter to watch TV in the bedroom because Jennifer doesn’t like to
watch children’s programs. She insists on watching her TV shows (some of which are quite violent) in the living room. I think she is missing out on watching her little girl sing and dance to her favorite shows. The second is that she brings alcoholic beverages to the pool when she goes with my granddaughter. I am appalled by this and suggested she not drink when at the pool with the baby. She said everyone does it (not true) and as long as she doesn’t get “blasted,” everything will be fine. I have told her that she can get plastered anytime she wants, but not when her child is in the pool. I have taken my granddaughter swimming, and believe me, she has to be watched every second. I am at my wits’ end about these problems. Jennifer has become very selfish. She is influenced by her friends who have children and do the same things. She thinks I’m a prude, which I am not. She tells me she can raise her child any way she wants. Any suggestions? -- Yulee, Fla. Dear Yulee: It would be best if Jennifer supervised what her child watched and was available to explain things and encourage learning. Using the TV as a babysitter isn’t exemplary, but it isn’t horrible, provided she keeps an eye on the child to make sure she isn’t in trouble. Your second problem is more acute. How much alcohol does Jennifer drink while her child plays in the pool? Are there lifeguards or other sober adults present? Does the child’s father know? Your daughter doesn’t sound like the

most conscientious parent, but unfortunately, there is not much you can do if she doesn’t recognize the dangers of insufficient supervision. We hope she doesn’t have to experience a tragedy before she puts her child first. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Tuxless in Bettendorf, La.,” whose father refuses to wear a tux at his daughter’s wedding. Back in the 1970s, my dad picked me up at the airport for my brother’s wedding. En route home, he stopped at a bargain store and found a tan polyester suit. The morning of the wedding, Mom held out the tux she had rented, only to hear Dad growl that there was no way he was going to put on that monkey suit. A little while later, he came out of the bedroom in his brand-new polyester suit, which actually looked very nice. The colors even went well with the wedding party. On the other hand, the father of the bride showed up in a dark green leisure suit he could barely get into, topped off with an orange tie that was way too short. By comparison, Dad looked debonair. If compromising on the tux gets Dad down the aisle, it’s worth it. -- N.D. Sister of the Groom Dear Sister: Yes, and the bride will be thrilled Dad isn’t wearing a green leisure suit and orange tie.
