Stage set for city parking lot stage

INSIDE

Would provide space for future local events By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer

5Crompton is the man? UT’s QB earns player of the week award. sports, Page A8

SEVIERVILLE — Plans appear to be moving ahead to include a stage at the city parking lot on Bruce Street. The Public Building Authority (PBA) deferred approving an amendment to its agreement with Barge, Waggoner, Sumner & Cannon (BWS&C) for design of the parking area, but not because of problems with the proposed addition of a stage atop proposed restrooms adjacent to Bruce Street. The authority was concerned about the amount BWS&C was asking for the demand. BWS&C’s initial contract

called for design of a parking deck; PBA and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen eventually scrapped plans to build a deck downtown due to the cost and lack of support for the concept. The PBA members asked City Administrator Steve Hendrix to renegotiate the agreement; he will bring it to a later meeting for their review. In the meantime, they appeared to support plans to add a stage to the parking area, which will also feature additional parking spots and landscaping. “It would expand this area beyond just being a parking lot,” Hendrix said.

Building Authority narrows Veterans Boulevard focus By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer

SEVIERVILLE — The Public Building Authority has narrowed its focus to the first phase of the extension of Veterans Boulevard, which will extend from where the road currently empties into Dolly Parton Parkway across the Little Pigeon River to Robert Henderson Road. The PBA had planned to pay for design of rights of way for all three phases of the road at once — including a middle section running north, and a final secSee FOCUS, Page A4

DECA-dent auto show

Sevier County High School club shows taste for classics By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

SEVIERVILLE — As plenty of parents can attest, getting a high school senior up early is tough. Add to the mix a Saturday morning and a chilly rain, and the challenge may seem almost insurmountable. Still, that’s just what a group of DECA students at Sevier County High School braved as they helped put on the club’s annual Smoky Bear Open Car Show. The event is 12 years old now, more than half as old as the members of the group, a national organization that helps give work and life experience to high school marketing students. Of course, that doesn’t even come close to the age of the antique cars that were on display during it, including Jim Farmer’s 1937 Chevrolet. “I saw an ad for this car and I liked it, so I drove up to Lexington, Ky., to take a look at it,” Farmer said. “I ended up buying it and I spent six years fixing it up. I’ve completely redone it. Now I like to take it around and show it off.” Farmer was one of only a few who dared to bring their classic cars out into Saturday’s soggy and gray morning.

PIGEON FORGE — Officials are considering taking some emergency action in an effort to avoid having to impose a moratorium on development in two fast-growing parts of town after a series of sewage and water system failures. The water lift station, a facility used to force water through underground lines, in the Pinemont area has failed five times this year, at times leaving residents without water and cutting fire protection for the neighborhood. City Manager Earlene Teaster said those instances reached the maximum number of malfunctions such a facility can have before the city is forced to self-impose a moratorium on building in the area. State law requires such a move because connecting anymore structures onto the system would likely only make the problem worse. Though Public Works crews have put in a valiant effort to keep the system chugging along, it appears it may be on its last legs. “They’ve patched it and they’ve patched it until they basically can’t patch it anymore,” Teaster told the City Commission during a work session Thursday. “That lift station is pretty much gone. It’s at a crisis situation.” City leaders didn’t set aside any money for repairing the facility when they were drawing up the current fiscal year’s budget a few months ago. Still, they directed Teaster and City Clerk Dennis Clabo to work to figure out a way to finance some improvements. “I think our backs are against the wall,” Vice Mayor Kevin McClure said. “I think we need to go ahead and do something.” Much to their consternation, city leaders were also told Thursday the Pinemont problem isn’t the only one in the city’s See ALARM, Page A5

Fall fertilization fosters forage

NATION/World BRIEFS

U.S. woman wins economics Nobel

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics, honored along with fellow American Oliver Williamson on Monday for analyzing economic governance — the rules by which people exercise authority in companies and economic systems. Ostrom was also the fifth woman to win a Nobel award this year — a record for the prestigious honors. It was also an exceptionally strong year for the United States, with 11 American citizens — some of them with dual nationality — among the 13 Nobel winners, including President Barack Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. Ostrom, 76, and Williamson, 77, shared the $1.4 million economics prize for work that “advanced economic governance research from the fringe to the forefront of scientific attention,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

Worker dies after 125-foot fall

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A tall construction lift toppled over and struck a downtown Philadelphia apartment building Monday, killing a construction worker who fell 125 feet. Investigators want to know if the 40-year-old victim was strapped into the bucket of the boom lift as he worked on a church roof. He may have free-fallen to the ground, they said. “It doesn’t appear that he was secured properly. We would expect that he was tethered in,” Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said. “We’re trying to find out if that’s the case.” The vehicle apparently tipped over when it rode over a sidewalk grate, causing the grate to give way, Ayers said.

Obama aide: Fox wing of GOP

NEW YORK (AP) — One of President Barack Obama’s top aides says Fox News Channel acts like a wing of the Republican Party. White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday that Fox News operates “almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” It’s another sign of the White House’s aggressively going after Fox. Commentators Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have been strong Obama critics, and Bill O’Reilly has taken tough looks at the administration. The president avoided Fox when he visited five Sunday morning news shows last month, and a recent White House blog post accused Beck of lying.

Yale holds memorial for Le

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Yale University President Richard Levin is among the scheduled speakers at a memorial service for Annie Le (LAY’), the 24-year-old graduate student found strangled over a month ago behind a wall in a school laboratory. Classmates, professors and others plan to gather at Yale’s historic Battel Chapel for the Monday evening service, which is open only to members of the Yale community and Le’s family and friends. Other speakers will include Jon Butler, the dean the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and Anton Bennett, the pharmacology professor who ran the lab in which Le worked. Le, from Placerville, Calif., vanished Sept. 8 and her body was found five days later. Raymond Clark III, a 24-year-old former Yale University lab technician, has been charged with her murder.

Pacific storm strengthens off Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Patricia was strengthening Monday as it inched closer to the tip of the Baja California Peninsula, prompting the government to issue a tropical storm watch for the resortdotted southern part of the peninsula. Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said that Patricia’s center was located about 215 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California late Monday. Patricia was moving toward the north-northwest at about 8 mph (13 kph), and maximum sustained winds increased to 60 mph by Monday afternoon. Some strengthening was expected over the next 24 hours, and the storm be very near the peninsula by Tuesday afternoon, the center said. Patricia became a named tropical storm late Sunday. Tropical storm force winds extended outward up to 115 miles from the center.

Weak tornadoes confirmed in three counties MORRISTOWN (AP) — The National Weather Service has confirmed tornado touchdowns during weekend storms in Marion, Monroe and McMinn counties. A report by meteorologist Tim Troutman in the Morristown office said assessment teams confirmed there was evidence that EF0 tornadoes touched down. None caused any injury or structure damage. An EF0 is the weakest designation for tornadoes. The weather service said a tornado near Jasper traveled two miles on the ground. Another near Haletown traveled on a short distance. A tornado near Englewood in McMinn County was on the ground for only a brief time as was one near Niota in Monroe County. The wind speeds in the tornadoes was 70-80 mph.

There is no way to know how much phosphate and potash to apply without a soil test. Fall is also a good time to take soil samples to determine the fertility of the pastures. Soil test results tell what nutrients are needed and how much to apply. No soil test means guessing at the amount of fertilizer needed. You may be spending more money than needed or not putting on enough of some nutrients. Take a soil test to be sure. What to fertilize with — Determining which form of nitrogen to use is the biggest consideration. The two main types of nitrogen fertilizer used in Tennessee are urea and ammonium nitrate. Urea is 46 percent nitrogen, while ammonium nitrate is 34 percent nitrogen. Ammonium nitrate is best for fall fertilization because there is a greater potential for nitrogen loss with urea during the fall. Nitrogen from urea can be lost to the atmosphere as ammonia when conditions are hot with moderate moisture. Temperatures 75 degrees or above with high soil pH and moisture can result in the loss of 20 to 30 percent of the nitrogen from urea applied to the soil surface and not incorporated by rainfall, since all of the nitrogen is in the ammonia form. If urea is used for fall fertilization, it is best to apply it when rain is expected within 2 to 3 days or else use a urease inhibitor to delay conversion of the urea to the ammonium form. — Alan Bruhin is the Sevier County agricultural extension service director.

A solid fertilization plan is one of the keys to a successful forage production program. To produce forage for grazing or hay, you must provide nutrients needed by the plants in adequate quantities. Usually, fertilization is considered a springtime procedure. However, there are many reasons to apply fertilizer in the fall. 1. Stockpile tall fescue. Applying fall nitrogen to tall fescue can increase growth for winter grazing, which can reduce hay feeding by one or two months. 2. Cheaper prices during fall. Fertilizer is often cheaper in the fall compared to spring. Also, finding time to get the work done may be easier in the fall. 3. Only one application is needed if clovers are used. If clovers are used in a tall fescue pasture, no nitrogen is needed during the spring. Since all the potash and phosphate required for a year can be applied at one time, applying all of these, plus the nitrogen for stockpiling, can mean that only one fertilizer application is needed each year. 4. Improve cold tolerance of Bermuda grass. Since Tennessee is on the northern border for Bermuda grass, the potential for winter kill exists across most of the state. A fall application of potash and phosphate will also help improve cold tolerance. Pay attention to the following points when fertilizing in the fall. When to fertilize — To stockpile tall fescue, fertilize after fall rains begin when the fescue has begun to re-grow after the summer heat and drought. Pastures should be grazed or clipped to remove all summer growth. How much to fertilize — For stockpiling tall fescue, use approximately 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre.

James Otto Rolen

James Otto Rolen, 82, of Wenatchee, Entered Peacefully into Heaven Oct. 3, 2009, with his loving family at his side. He was born July 4, 1927, to Alvin and Hattie Rolen in Sevier County, Tenn. Growing up he attended school in Sevier County then later enlisted in the Army during World War II. He was honorably discharged in 1947 where he then returned back to Tennessee and married the Love of his life; Letha Jane Barnes. They married on Nov. 19, 1948. They would have been married almost 61 years. She was his “BABE” and he took very good care of her. Otto worked for Blalock Construction building Roads and Bridges in Tennessee until they decided to move to Washington State in 1958 to seek work. They made their home in Peshastin, Wash., where he worked in the fruit for Russell Burnett Orchards. Not much than a year later he found his Niche in the Timber business. He loved the outdoors and nature. The various companies he worked for were Earl Marcelles, Burgess Logging and Newell Logging. It was nothing for him to work a full week, then on the weekends oil and sharpen his chains to get ready for the new week. He was often called upon to complete the more difficult and dangerous logging projects. He endured several bad accidents while on the job but never once complained. He just looked at it like he had to get in another day’s pay. He retired in 1994 but even after that he still got calls to come back and log for the company. Good loggers were hard to find and he was one of

The stage won’t include extensive lighting, dressing rooms or storage — but it will provide a space for local events that currently don’t exist in the city. “We don’t have a public access facility,” said Alderman Barry Gibbs, who attended the PBA meeting along with Alderman Jerry Loveday. “Any time we do something, it’s on the back (steps) of the courthouse.” Gibbs suggested the idea at a meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The parking area will include electric outlets and water, meaning it can also be used to host vendors for events like the annual Bloomin’ BBQ & Bluegrass Festival.

Hendrix indicated that the utilities were one of the reasons the design agreement was more costly than PBA members anticipated. Also Monday, the PBA: n Approved more than $420,000 in change orders for mass grading at Eagles Landing Golf Course. Much of that cost came from an agreement to continue work at a previously negotiated price, meaning the PBA actually saved money over what it would have paid with new bids, Hendrix said. n Voted to hire a construction manager for work at the golf course; Hendrix said he will bring the PBA a new contract for the William Charles Group, which is overseeing the expansion n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

State reports 7,700 Jobs created by $215M stimulus NASHVILLE (AP) — Officials say $215 million in stimulus spending in Tennessee has created more than 7,700 jobs. The data is part of the state’s first report to the federal government on the effects of stimulus spending. The $215 million reflects spending on 310 projects through the end of September. Of those, 258 were transportation projects. Deputy Gov. John Morgan says the state must make quarterly reports about stimulus spending over the course of the two-year program. Tennessee’s total share of stimulus money is $5.6 billion.

tion that would connect to the road to the Parkway at or near the intersection of Gist Creek Road. Monday, however, it agreed to a plan submitted by City Manager Steve Hendrix to pay for full design of the first phase of the project. “This is going to be of public benefit,” Hendrix said, noting it will allow businesses and residences on Robert Henderson Road cross the river on an improved bridge and let them come onto Dolly Parton Parkway at a traffic light. While having the first phase fully designed will make it easier to begin construction quickly, it isn’t sure when construction will begin with the project. The PBA will pay for the design with projects it has already drawn from more than $200 million in bonds for the Central Business Improvement District (CBID). Paying for construction will require

drawing the final $50 million out of that fund, something the authority has delayed until work begins on commercial projects inside the district. Under state law, projects in the CBID can be paid for using sales tax revenues that would ordinarily go to the state or other governments. The PBA is waiting for work to start on major projects including Dumplin Creek and a complex planned near the Sevierville Events Center before withdrawing more funds. Also Monday, the PBA discussed plans for the expansion of Old Knoxville Highway, another road project that was included in initial plans for the CBID funds. The authority decided not to pursue a request to purchase rights of way on the north end of the road because that expansion is not currently included in the capital projects budget. That portion of the project was relegated to a lower priority because it will require construction of another new bridge.

By DON BABWIN Associated Press Writer CHICAGO — The King may be dead, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to run your fingers through his hair. Elvis Presley’s hair, at least a clump of hair that Presley may have lost to an Army barber when he went into the service back in 1958, is going on the auction block this Sunday at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago. The hair is part of a collection of more than 200 items that belonged to or are associated with Presley. There are clothes he wore, scarves he threw to screaming fans — who judging by the yellow sweat stains, never washed them — and Christmas cards he sent. And there are lots of records, some he kept in his own juke box, and other sorts of memorabilia ranging from Elvis dolls

though his car was noticeably dry thanks to some dedicated toweling efforts. Fortunately, by midmorning the rain had mostly stopped and the parking lot at the school started filling up. That was good news for the DECA members and supporters. “This is a pretty good turnout,� senior Jamie Maples said. “I didn’t think we’d have anybody with the rain.� Those who brought their antique autos out paid to enter the competition, which offered door prizes for the top 30 fin-

All the items belonged to Gary Pepper. No Hound Dog, Pepper was not only a huge Presley fan and president of a Presley fan club, but a close friend, as many of the photographs ishers. Those who brought a donation for Toys for Tots were given a $10 discount off the entry fee. The event also included food sales, games and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event will be used to supplement the activities of the high school’s marketing classes and the DECA itself. It will help pay for trips to state and national gatherings, including one coming up in less than two weeks that will take several local participants to New York. That’s important for club members like Juliana Orrill, who is in her second year as part of DECA and is serving as the group’s vice president.

of the two together suggest. Pepper, who had cerebral palsy, died in 1980, three years after Presley, and left his collection to his nurse, and that is who is putting the items up for auction, said Mary “The car show really helps us raise money for our trips,� DECA member Juliana Orrill said. “We have some great trips and we have a really good time everywhere we go.� Beyond just fun, there’s plenty of important lessons to be learned through DECA involvement, club President Jaisa Moritz says. “I really got involved in DECA my freshman year and I’ve been part of it for all four years,� she said. “It’s taught me a lot about how to be a better person and help society. I like DECA because you can learn a lot without being serious all the time.� Though Moritz – who is looking for basketball

Williams, of the auction house. But it is clearly the hair that has generated the most buzz. Like a lot of the items in Pepper’s collection, the hair was a gift from Presley to Pepper, who in turn sent a strand or two to appreciative Presley fans from time to time but didn’t come close to exhausting his supply. She said Pepper died without telling anyone exactly where the hair came from or when it was cut, but she said it appears that it was clipped during Presley’s stint in the Army or around that time. Williams did acknowledge that there has never been a DNA test done on the hair. But, she said, the auction house did take it to “somewhat of a hair authenticator� who compared it to his own sample of Presley’s hair and concluded it was the real deal.

Fellow club member and Vice President Jamie Maples agreed. “It gives you skills you can use later in life and in your job, no matter what that is,� she said. “I got involved in DECA just because I had to take a marketing class and the teacher was my neighbor all my life, so she told me I really needed to be part of it. I’m extremely happy she did. It’s been so much fun.� n dhodges@themountainpress.

infrastructure they’re going to have to quickly devise a way to deal with. A similar problem exists with a pump station, which is a mechanism that forces effluent through sewer lines when gravity can’t push it naturally, in the Kings Hills area. Though a portion of the money needed to fix that facility was appropriated during the budgeting, Teaster says the issue has also reached a critical point and should be dealt with immediately. In that latter instance, it appears likely city leaders will opt to further patch the problem and hope it holds while they consider the possibility of rerouting the line through that area. When the matter was first discussed during the budgeting process, Commissioner Randal Robinson told the group he talked to a few landowners in the area who are willing to grant easements across their property for a new line. Making that move could allow the line to flow downhill, meaning gravity, rather than pumps, could be used to get the sewage to the treatment plant. The project would require securing easements from about five property own-

ers and could eliminate the need for three or four pump stations, Teaster said. It’s also expected to cost about half a million dollars more than simply rebuilding the pump station. Even so, it seems the commissioners were in agreement the potential long-term benefit far outweighs the cost. “I’d like to see us eliminate those pump stations,� Commissioner David Wear said. “It’ll cost more, but it’ll save money and be better in the long run.� Mayor Keith Whaley concurred, pointing out the savings come not only from eliminating maintenance and equipment costs

associated with the pump stations, but also from the city’s no longer having to pay the electric bills on running the machines. Since the group cannot take votes in work session, no formal action was taken. However, the com-

missioners did ask Teaster and Clabo to also look for ways to fund the wastewater work. “In the long run I think it’s going to save a heck of a lot of money,� he said. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

UT to buy land for solar plant NASHVILLE (AP) — Trustees at the University of Tennessee have approved the acquisition of 200 acres in West Tennessee to house a solar power generation plant and educational center. The federal government last month approved $31 million in stimulus money to pay for the solar project along Interstate 40 in Haywood County, about 50 miles northeast of Memphis. “Assuming a leadership role in the Volunteer State

Solar Initiative provides a unique opportunity for the university to significantly expand its research, educational, and outreach programs,” according to the UT resolution approved Friday. The solar array is expected to take up 20 acres and have a capacity of five megawatts, enough to generate power for about 700 homes. Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen calls the plant a “solar farm,” because he wants the state to expand the facility with

proceeds from power sales. The remaining space would be taken up by the visitors’ center, parking and future educational and research projects. The State Building Commission would have to approve the $2.1 million land acquisition for the project located next to a 6-square-mile megasite being developed to market to large industrial investors. The trustees’ resolution authorizes the universi-

ty to lease the project to Genera Energy LLC, a forprofit subsidiary of the UT Research Foundation, for $1 per year to operate the project. Haywood County holds the options on the land until Dec. 15. The solar power plant makes up half the state’s stimulus-funded solar projects. The Tennessee Solar Institute at UT-Knoxville will spend much of an additional $30 million in stimulus money for innovation grants to private and nonprofit groups.

Michael Jackson

LONDON (AP) — Michael Jackson returned to the airwaves Monday with a new song — the first from an upcoming musical documentary featuring the troubled superstar. It is the Jackson first new material by Jackson to be released since his sudden death in Los Angeles on June 25. Jackson sounded confident and almost playful on “This is It,” which features his trademark breathy vocal style, perfected over the years since he was a child sensation with the Jackson Five. He is backed by lush vocals from his brothers, giving the recording a nostalgic, familiar feel.

commentary

Americans care about marriage How do you measure a marriage culture? The Institute for American Values, in conjunction with the new National Center for African-American Marriage and Parenting has just released a new “Marriage Index” that for the very first time in American history creates a tool to measure the health of marriage in America. It’s a brilliant conceptual idea, long overdue. This is a GDP for marriage, a way to statistically sum up complex trends in a way that allows us to capture a core truth: Is marriage getting weaker or stronger? The report (available at www.americanvalues.org) begins by asking key questions: “What helps us the most to thrive, as individuals and as a society? Money or marriage? Assets or relationships? Here’s what we know: A large body of research suggests that the status of our marriages influences our well-being at least as much as the status of our finances.” So why, the report’s authors ask, do we work so hard to create a consensus measure of our leading economic indicators and not our marriage indicators? The leading economic indicators are not mere dry statistical artifacts; they are a living part of our intellectual, social, media and political culture. “These indicators are generally accepted by elites and by the broad public as both accurate and important. As a result, they matter. We read about them in publications and hear about them on TV. Policymakers and opinion shapers pay attention to them. If they are improving, we tend to rejoice. If they are declining, we tend to fret, and ask, ‘What can we do?’” But these authors point out: “There is no equivalent effort to focus on marriage. ... Consequently, policymakers and opinion leaders rarely seem to care about marriage trends, or even notice them.” Until now. The Marriage Index is the product of a bipartisan group of scholars and leaders who selected five indicators as fundamental. What are these five? (1) A marriage rate measure — the proportion of adults under age 54 who are married. (The focus on younger Americans is in order to avoid conflating longer life and more widows with the decline of marriage.) (2) A divorce measure — the proportion of first marriages that are still intact. (3) A marital happiness measure — the proportion of married people who say their marriage is “very happy” (because quality matters, too). There are also two child-centered measures: (4) The proportion of babies who are born to married people. (5) The proportion of all children who live with their own two married parents. These last two are to many of us the most important. “Why devote two-fifths of a Marriage Index to children?” the authors ask. “These last two indicators concern more than just children: Fundamentally, they reflect the link between adults and children that marriage is designed to create and secure. At its essence, marriage is a social institution that, when it’s working, meets social needs — and perhaps the greatest of these needs is supporting the helpless offspring that result from the sexual union of two people.” So how are we doing on marriage? No one will be surprised to hear the answer: not well. Overall, since 1970 the combined Five Leading Marriage Indicators dropped from 76.2 percent to 60.3 percent. But the news is not all bad. Since 2000, three of the five leading marriage indicators have actually stabilized or begun to improve: The proportion of first marriages that are intact plunged from 77 percent to under 60 percent between 1970 and 2000; it actually climbed three-tenths of a percent since 2000. The proportion of children living with their own married parents similarly ticked up half a percentage point. And the proportion of marriages that are “very happy” has been stable. We can learn to do better. Of course, the very best scientific indicators will capture only a portion of why we really care about marriage. Maps are not roads. But that is precisely why they are useful. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Editorial

Patience, patience Win over Georgia shows Vols on right track, but give it time There had been a steady and growing unease among Tennessee fans about the way the football season had gone. The quick start and stomping of Western Kentucky gave the faithful a lot of optimism about the new coach and new season, only to see that fade as better teams came and went away with victories over the Vols. Some had begun to question the hiring of the young Lane Kiffin. His quirky comments before the first game even was played raised some questions, but fans hungry for a winning season and return to glory overlooked them. Then came the losses to UCLA, Florida and Auburn. Close doesn’t count in football. Fans demand wins. They weren’t getting them, and the Vol fans were restless. Then Georgia came to town last weekend, and all that concern, that restlessness, dissolved in a matter of three hours. The Vols rolled over visiting Georgia by 26 points, and back

came the fair-weather fans to sing the praises of the new coach and the players. The test of loyalty is not what you do when things are going well, but what you do when they aren’t going so well. Americans have become a people with a declining sense of patience. We aren’t willing to let things develop at a slower, reasonable pace. Fans of “Seinfeld” know the show got off to a slow start, with a small but loyal following but ratings that would have sunk most sitcoms. NBC let it ride, and the fan base grew until the show became the megahit it was destined to be. Only the patience of the executives at NBC saved “Seinfeld” from the scrap heap of discarded and forgotten TV shows. The sports landscape is filled with similar stories of coaches who were unsuccessful in the first years of their time, but overcame those starts to be hugely successful and revered.

Fans need to cultivate patience to allow a new coach and new staff to recruit players and install his system. Lane Kiffin is owed that. He didn’t deserve the pounding he took in some quarters for the 2-3 start. It’s easy to ride a winner. This is not a great Tennessee team, and they’ll stumble some more as they find their way. There will be disappointment ahead. Tough losses. Bad judgments. The Vol Nation is just going to have to remain calm and stick with the kid coach. Kiffin is a new coach in the toughest conference in all of America. Expectations have to match reality. Taking over a college football team is a marathon, not a sprint. Instant gratification of fans has to give way to a measured pace of progress and development. Be cool, Tennessee fans. There remains much celebration yet to do.

Political view

Public forum All our president has done is promise hope and change

Editor: Pass the cheese, please. President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for not being exPresident George W. Bush. The Nobel committee has injected their political view in our government and cheapened the award. Maybe they were like everyone else:

They wanted hope and change without doing anything. Americans are proud to have a Nobel Prize winner, but the majority are scratching their heads as to why he won. Smooth talk has not ended the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, and his hand-picked general is still waiting on his troop request. Our soldiers are at President Obama’s will, even as they fight and die for our country. It has

not closed Gitmo or employed the job seekers. It is no wonder that he is humbled. Even he is scratching his head in wonderment too. Let’s see. He was nominated two weeks into his presidency and has yet to do anything except promise hope and change. Maybe that’s all the Nobel committee needed to hear: That we can be more like them. R.C.

PREP GRIDIRON COMMENTARY

Highlanders shocked the state, not themselves By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — Entering the 2009 Tennessee prep football season under TSSAA’s new divisional realignments and maddening playoff formulas, many in Sevier County thought it would mark the beginning of the end of GatlinburgPittman Highlanders gridiron dominance. Being the smallest school by far in the new District 3-AA with a student body of just about 590 kids, hardly anyone expected the Blueand-Gold (7-0 overall, 3-0 District 3-AA) team to actually compete in the same conference with the likes of Knoxville Fulton, AustinEast, Gibbs and Knoxville Carter. “Sure, G-P will have a chance against Pigeon Forge and Union County, but those other teams are lined up on the Highlander schedule like murderer’s row,” many said. On top of the tough schedule, G-P also entered this year with a young, inexperienced squad at several positions after losing some key departing graduates in players such as Taylor Ogle, Matthew Pittser, Corey Jenkins, John Edwards, Kyle Horner, Hagen Sims, Lee Douglas and Joey Green. With those facts in mind, about the only people in this county that gave G-P a fighting chance to do anything this season could be found

GATLINBURG — Five members of the GatlinburgPittman Lady Highlanders volleyball team have earned District 3-AA honors recently. Seniors Alisha Johnson, Leah Bryan, Allison King and Gina Esposito along with new-coming freshman Destiny Balser were the recipients of those honors. Johnson, Bryan and King were all appointed to the AllDistrict Team, while Esposito was named the Co-Libero of the Year and Balser the Co-Rookie of the Year. “Alisha (Johnson), Leah (Bryan) and Allison (King) were fitting choices,” said G-P coach Mike Rader. “They are our three captains, Alisha and Leah carry us in scoring, and Allison is just one of those kids that’s always in the right place on the court. “All three of them are very

deserving to be on the AllDistrict Team, and I’m glad that all three of them made it. “Little Esposito, I thought personally, was the best Libero in the league this year. She’s just done a great job for us. “Destiny is the little freshman who just kind of stood out this year. She’s been playing volleyball for awhile, she’s playing club ball and she’s just got all the skills. And she’s one of the better servers on our team, and we put her in games just to serve during crucial situations and she’s done real well for us.” G-P will compete in the District 3-AA Tournament at Gibbs High School 7:30 p.m. tonight against Fulton. G-P is the No.4 seed and Fulton is No.5. The winner will advance to play the No.1-seeded host school 6 p.m. Thursday night. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

SEC GRIDIRON

G-P volleyball players earn honors By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Highlanders took their coach’s words to heart. G-P opened the season with three non-conference games against somewhat lesser (but still tough) opponents and used the experience to build team chemistry. The offense — led by talented junior QB Tye

Marshall — showed flashes of potential, but it was the Highlander defense — led by senior linemen Elijah Casey and Chris Ledford — that was the heart and sole of those three straight wins. But then came the Week 4 trip to Gibbs Eagles, which everyone expected to be the first of several G-P losses this season. Only the Highlanders didn’t lose. They took a triple-OT 20-14 win. “Well, maybe Gibbs isn’t really all that good,” many said. Then came a couple of easy ones against Unicoi County and Union County. “But here comes that threegame stretch against Fulton, Austin-East and Carter that will be the beginning of the Highlander downfall,” many said. But G-P went to the then No.5 state-ranked 4A Fulton Falcons this past Friday and did the unthinkable. They won 14-11 on a late fourthquarter drive for a TD and an even later defensive stand. “Wow, didn’t see that one coming,” many said. So next up is visiting No.8 state-ranked Austin-East Roadrunners this Friday night, and many still believe G-P will lose this game. But after seeing what this Blue-and-Gold squad is capable of this season, I guarantee that no one will be surprised this time if they win.

UT QB Jonathan Crompton throws against Auburn on Saturday, Oct. 3, in Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton was named the Southeastern Conference’s offensive player of the week after a career performance in a 45-19 win over Georgia. The 6-foot-4, 228pound Waynesboro, N.C., native went 20 for 27 for a career-high 310 yards in the Saturday win. He threw four touchdowns and an interception for the Volunteers (3-3, 1-2 SEC). Crompton and his receivers have struggled often this season, but coach Lane Kiffin pledged to stick with the senior regardless of his performance. “That’s huge,” he said after the game. “Nobody wants to look over their

shoulder and worry about it because that’s when you play timid.” Crompton won the starting job after competing with backup Nick Stephens during spring and fall practices. The two alternated as starter throughout last season under coach Phillip Fulmer, who at times pulled one quarterback in the middle of a game in favor of the other. Crompton turned in his worst performance of the season against UCLA in week two when he went 13 for 26 for 93 yards and threw three interceptions but no touchdowns. He’s gradually improved since as the wide receiving corps, which has been riddled with injuries this season, got healthier and See CROMPTON, Page A9

Presnell ‘super’ in capturing Newport Speedway victory SEVIERVILLE — The 2009 racing campaign for Dylan Presnell of Sevierville has caught the attention of many motorsports insiders, and no doubt his latest accomplishment in winning the Super Late Model feature Saturday night at Newport Speedway will open the eyes of many others. Having competed with the United Auto Racing Association – Southern Touring Asphalt Racing Series during his rookie season of stock car racing, plus running events at other tracks in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia on off weekends, Presnell recorded three

Late Model Stock victories – two at Lonesome Pine Raceway in Coeburn, Va., and one at Newport. After testing the Denver, N.C., based RACE 101 (Research – Analyze – Consult – Educate – 1-On-1) Super Late Model for program owner Tony Blanchard late in the week, the mutual decision by Blanchard and Ken Presnell (Dylan’s father) was made for Dylan to make his debut Saturday night on the lightningquick high banks at Newport. Making his first-ever start in a Super Late Model, the 14-year-old Presnell set fast-time in

qualifying at 12.56-seconds. Due to an invertthree for the start of the 75 lap feature, Presnell had his work cut out for him as veteran drivers Jeff Myers and Mart Nesbitt started side-by-side on the front row. Not only were Myers and Nesbitt ready to battle for the race win, they also were locked in a tight fight for the track points championship. After the drop of the green saw Nesbitt take the lead over Myers, Presnell fell in line behind the duo during the early laps and was content to just ride and save his tires for later in the race. Halfway, Presnell worked his way

around Myers into the second position, with race leader Nesbitt a few lengths ahead. With 12 laps remaining, Presnell was riding in Nesbitt’s rearview mirror, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. With the leaders approaching a slower lapped car, Nesbitt chose to go around the outside, while Presnell went low to make it threewide – which proved to be the race-winning move. “Man, did we really just win?” asked a smiling Presnell. “Wow, to win our first Super Late Model race in our first-ever start, this is awesome. I want to thank RACE 101’s Tony

Blanchard for having the confidence in my abilities to put me in his program’s house car for this race. “You’ve got much more throttle with these Super Late Models and you’ve got to be careful to not spin the tires racing off the corners. “The invert on the start put two really good cars in front of us, but Tony just told me to be patient and run smart and save our tires for later in the race and we’d be OK.” Presnell captured the Newport Speedway Super Late Model victory driving the Clearwater Drilling Co./RACE 101/Purkey Motorsports/Five Oaks

Tire/No. 101 Chevrolet Impala SS. Next up for Presnell will be the Fall Brawl on Oct. 10-11 at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway, where he will chauffeur a Late Model Stock fielded by longtime veteran racer Jamie Yelton. Then comes the big Halloween Havoc 200 Late Model Stock show that pays $5,000 to win on Oct. 16-17 at Newport Speedway. To contact Presnell Motorsports, located in Sevierville, call (865) 4539330.

SCHS, G-P climb in polls G-P moves to 6th, Bears to 7th By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer Charged by upset wins this past Friday night, both the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders and the Sevier County High School Smoky Bears not only remained unblemished on the season but also graduated a spot in the state AP prep gridiron poll this week. The Highlanders (7-0 overall, 3-0 in 3-AA) traveled to District 3-AA rival Fulton Falcons this past Friday night and shocked the state with a 14-11 victory over the then No.5 state-ranked 4A team. The win bolstered the Blue and Gold to the No.6 spot in the state polls this week, up from last week’s No.7 position. The Smoky Bears (7-0 overall, 4-0 in 2-AAA) likewise traveled to heavily favored District 2-AAA rival Morristown West Trojans this past Friday night and pounded the then No.6 stateranked home team into submission by a 31-3 final.

NFL GRIDIRON

Tennessee just needs to win By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have gone from a 10-0 start and the NFL’s best record to becoming one of the league’s last winless teams. The Titans (0-5) have matched the winless start of 2006 and have the franchise-worst 0-10 start by the 1984 Houston Oilers within sight. It may only get worse with a road trip to New England (3-2) next Sunday. This season sounds like a broken record. Another game, another loss. The same words. The Titans insist they need to make a few plays, win a game. Coach Jeff Fisher insisted again Monday he’s sticking with Kerry Collins because the veteran quarterback isn’t the problem even though he inserted backup Vince Young late in Sunday night’s 31-9 loss to Indianapolis. His advice to those waiting for a switch to Young as the starter? Wait and see. In the meantime, the approach that has resulted

in seven straight losses since last season remains the same. Fisher told his Titans on Monday they will win a lot of games if they prepare and practice just like last week. “As far as a quick fix is concerned, it’s not there,” Fisher said. “You keep doing what you’re doing. You can go back, you look at the games. You correct them. You move forward. They’re professionals. They expect to do the things we expect them to do. Fine-tune some areas, one in particular the run game. Get some people back healthy on defense, and we’ll be OK.” His Titans keep singing in tune with Fisher — for now. Linebacker Keith Bulluck said after the Colts’ loss that they need a win immediately. Receiver Nate Washington thinks sticking together and making plays are key. Linebacker David Thornton couldn’t have been more optimistic Monday. “Even though this start isn’t the script that we wrote out, we’re not going to lose faith. This doesn’t define us as players or as an organization. We know

we’re winners. We’ve just got to continue to improve. Work hard and hope things get better for us,” Thornton said. Well, the Titans are 3-9 since that 10-0 start. They’ve all taken turns contributing to losses through turnovers, a defense ranked next to last in yards passing allowed, receivers dropping passes and now Fisher said the run game needs improving. Chris Johnson went into the Colts game as the NFL’s leading rusher and was held to just 34 yards on nine carries. They have rushed for only four touchdowns this season and have only one over the past 10 quarters. That was Collins’ run in the fourth quarter of a 37-17 loss at Jacksonville on Oct. 4. They had to settle for three field goals after failing to get closer than the Colts 25. “This is a collective effort. We need to run the football better. I would start there. We run the football better, then all those other things happen down the field,” Fisher said.

career. Against the Bulldogs (3-3, 2-1) his efficiency rating was 212. Before his third-quarter interception, he attempted 88 passes without a pick. “If we get our passing game on the same page and guys make plays, that helps a quarterback a ton and gives him confidence,”

Kiffin said. “You saw that as the game went on. You saw him start forcing some balls in there in a good way because he had confidence the guys would make plays.” Tennessee is off this week before traveling to No. 2 Alabama (6-0, 4-0) on Oct. 24.

Wife upset well-to-do in-laws take advantage of fix-it husband

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My husband seems to be the “go to” guy in his family. He used to do carpentry work, and now his three siblings call on him for all their repair needs. He is asked to fix broken windows, install appliances and everything in between. One of his sisters is quite wealthy. She lives out of state but owns property in our area. My husband keeps her apartments rented, hires painters, answers maintenance calls at any hour and does general upkeep. For these services, he receives nothing. Not one of his siblings has ever offered to pay him for work that, over the years, has saved them thousands of dollars. At the very least, wouldn’t most people send a gift card for a free dinner? I know my husband is at fault for never saying no, but his family is so domineering that he doesn’t want to make waves. Our home needs work, too, but his time is taken away due to his siblings’ demands. What makes people feel they are entitled to these services for free? All of them can afford to pay someone else to do the work. We are the ones who are not well off, yet we are catering to them, and they have yet to reciprocate with kindness or time for our family. The favors are totally onesided. How can I help my husband get out of this mess? -- Seething Dear Seething: Your husband must be willing to do this on his own. The easiest way is to make himself too busy to be so accommodating. That can mean joining a bowling league, basketball team,

civic organization or church volunteer group, or even starting a small business as a part-time handyman. Then, when the relatives call, he can honestly say, “Sorry, but I’m too busy now. You should hire someone.” Of course, if he refuses to do this, you’ll have to make the best of it. He has to grow his own backbone. Dear Annie: My brother’s wife, “Brandy,” is a compulsive liar. My family chooses to ignore it. At a recent family gathering, however, the conversation turned to politics, and Brandy and I had a heated argument. She contradicted herself multiple times, and when I accused her of lying, she stormed out of the house. I phoned the next day and left a message saying I hadn’t intended to upset her and we simply both have strong opinions. Later that afternoon, she sent me an e-mail claiming she never said those things and wants nothing to do with our family. My parents contacted my brother, and Brandy apologized to them. My brother said he would continue to have a relationship with my parents, but not with me or my husband and child. I was going to call Brandy and tell her I accept that apology, too, but the more I think about it, the less I believe I can sit through family dinners with her. How do I get past this? I miss my brother. -Feeling Empty Inside

Dear Feeling Empty: Brandy may have a vague relationship with the truth, but confronting her only creates hard feelings and estrangements. You don’t have to like every member of your family, but if you want to see your brother, you should make an effort to get along with his wife or, at the very least, not let her opinions get under your skin. There are repercussions when you accuse someone of lying, and one of them is that you need to swallow your pride and apologize to your sister-in-law for upsetting her. Dear Annie: I am responding to “A Dad,” who would like his daughter to be more active. Has he considered offering her dance lessons? Dancing is a wonderful way to gain physical strength, enjoy music and develop physical confidence in a noncompetitive environment. -- Still Dancing at 62 Dear Still Dancing: Several readers suggested the girl take up dancing, and we think it’s an excellent idea -- provided, of course, that she has some interest in it.
