PIGEON FORGE — Police here arrested two Sevier County men after an alleged home invasion. Timothy M. Petit, 19, of 101 Pigeon St. in Sevierville, and Michael D. Morrow, 20, of 2479 Riverbend Loop in Pigeon Forge, were both charged with
aggravated burglary. Authorities say they broke into the home of an elderly couple by kicking in the locked back door of the home Wednesday night and entered the living room where the couple was sitting. The woman was knocked to the floor at some point during the incident, Chief Jack Baldwin said. Although the intruders were wearing ski masks when they
entered the home, the couple was able to help identify one of their alleged attackers. “The occupants thought they recognized one of the fellows and that got us started in the right direction.” One of the two suspects actually came to police after a relative told him they were looking for him. “He came in to clear his name
and after a little bit of investigation they were able to determine it was him,” Baldwin said. “We were able to get most of the stuff back and charge the two boys.” By 4 a.m. Thursday, they had charged the two with the crime. The investigation is continuing, Baldwin added. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

A momma bear, at right, sits on a lower branch as her two cubs seek higher shelter Thursday morning. A Pigeon Forge resident, off of Pine Mountain Road, noticed the bears in her yard and called police, and when the police arrived the bears ran up the tree rather than away. According to scanner reports in the early evening, the bears were still in the tree and the resident was waiting on a TWRA officer.

Last year’s Gatlinburg-Pittman High Memory Walk team included members of the school’s Interact Club. Many will be back for today’s walk in Pigeon Forge.
GPHS club collecting items for community By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Gatlinburg youth are lending a hand by heading up a collection of needed items in the community. The Gatlinburg-Pittman High School Interact Club is collecting prescription pill bottles for the Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic, as well as eyeglasses and small unwrapped toys, club sponsor and GPHS teacher Elaine Wilson said. “We’ve already collected hundreds and hundreds of
pill bottles, and our school nurse is collecting the eyeglasses. We have around 65 students who are members of the Interact Club, which is sponsored by the local Rotary Club. They do a huge number of community service activities.” Today, Interact Club members will be at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Memory Walk, for which they raise an average of $2,000 each year, Wilson said. Other service projects have included teaching senior citizens basic com-
puter skills; working at voting booths during local elections; volunteering at the Festival of Trees and other local events; helping to host the Children’s Christmas Party for Underprivileged Children; and raising money for the Leukemia Foundation, March of Dimes and families in need. Those interested in helping the GPHS Interact Club with its latest project can leave the requested items at the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce. Donors can
black out the information on hard-to-remove labels of prescription bottles with a black Sharpie pen, and Interact Club members will remove the labels later. Wilson, a sponsor of the Interact Club for 15 years, said its members are truly interested in helping and learning more about their community. “We welcome any community volunteers to come and talk to the students about what they do.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com
PIGEON FORGE — Mass transportation in the city may soon get a bit nicer thanks to an unexpected influx of cash to the Pigeon Forge Fun Time Trolley system from state government. During this week’s City Commission meeting, Director Scott Marine said he was informed last week the system received a grant from the Tennessee Department of Transportation in the amount of $167,157, with the city required to put up $18,573 of its money as a match. Marine explained the huge cash gift is the result of some work done about a year and a half ago that he had nearly forgotten about. “We did put in a grant application but we never heard anything back, so we assumed we didn’t get it,” Marine said. “This was a real pleasant surprise.” Given that the city is already nearly four months into its 2009-10 fiscal year, Marine suggested the match be included early in the budget for the upcoming year. With the combined amount of $185,730, Marine says the city should have just about enough to purchase a new trolley with the grant funds. City Commission members voted unanimously to accept the money and move forward with Marine’s suggestion. That new vehicle will add to a growing fleet of modern ones, with commissioners also approving the purchase of one minibus for the system from Bus Group Inc., at a cost of $80,620 and two trolleys from Double K Inc., with a price tag of $189,334. Those vehicles were secured under bids from a previous contract session, Marine said. Like the new trolley that will likely come next year, those three vehicles were essentially a gift from a bigger government entity. The purchases are to be made using grant money awarded under the federal stimulus bill. On an unrelated note, commissioners also voted unanimously to approve reworking a billboard agreement at the request of a developer. Darby Campbell, owner of Premier Media, asked that the deal he struck with city leaders on building a pair of new sign structures on the Parkway be reworked after he was unsatisfied with the restrictions in the agreement See grant, Page A4

Reunion of Vietnam vets in Forge this weekend PIGEON FORGE — A Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and an ROTC color guard from an area high school will headline the 11th reunion of the Tan Son Nhut Association, a Vietnam veterans organization. The event continues through Sunday at MainStay Suites. Medal of Honor recipient Mike Thornton, U.S. Navy (ret.), will be
the banquet speaker on Saturday at 6 p.m. The ROTC unit from Bearden High School will form the color guard for the banquet. Lt. Thornton was awarded the Medal of Honor for an action near the demilitarized zone in Vietnam on Oct. 31, 1972. His was the last MOH awarded in Vietnam. Thornton was credited with saving the life of Navy
Lt. Tom Norris, who had been involved in a life-saving mission in Vietnam about five months earlier for which he, too, was awarded the Medal of Honor. It was the first time in more than 100 years that a Medal of Honor recipient had saved the life of another recipient. In addition to the banquet, several TSNA members will pres-
ent seminars dealing with the Jan. 31, 1968, Battle for Tan Son Nhut (Tet offensive); the miniTet offensive, which occurred in May 1968; and the recollections of a gunship AC-47 navigator. The Tan Son Nhut Association was incorporated in October 1995 to perpetuate the history of Tan Son Nhut Air Base, especially as it existed from 1959 to 1975; to
recognize and honor those who served at or were affiliated with the base during that period; and to programs of benefit to the members. Membership is open to any veteran who served at the base during the Vietnam war. For additional details about the reunion, visit http://tsna.org/ reunion/index.html.

A clever idea for a book actually began as a way for a Seymour woman to ease into her role as a new Sunday School teacher. “It all started by accident,� Cheryl Elliott, author of “What Were You Thinking? Interviewing Bible-Time Women in a Modern-Day Classroom, said with a laugh. “In February 2007, we learned our Women’s Sunday School teacher needed the summer off. We could disband for the summer or we could get a new teacher, and I was approached about teaching. Once you disband, it’s hard to get going again. Selfishly, I wanted to stick with my class.� But Elliott, a member of Woodlawn Christian Church in Knoxville, was a little intimidated by her new responsibility. “I had never taught women before, and I was nervous. I started writing out ‘interviews’ — conversations you or I might have — with women of the Bible. They were based as much as possible on Scripture and I filled in the blanks.� The lessons were a hit with her class, and two of her students suggested Elliott look into getting her work published. She decided to give it a try, but her research was put on hold when her husband died of a heart attack in May 2008. In March, she sent her work for the final
edit, and by the end of June, she had a published book in her hand. “It’s published by a print-on-demand company, Xulon Press. I had never thought about writing before. It’s one thing to be able to say something, but another to be able to put it in writing.� Elliott’s “interviews� include Eve, Abigail, Ruth, Esther, Mary and several more women of the Bible. “It’s ideal for women’s small groups. The interviews are around 20 minutes, and there are six discussion questions at the end of each.� Elliott, a graphic designer for the nonprofit Mission Services Association in Knoxville, may eventually write another book on more Biblical women, but now she’s working on a book on grief. “It’s been a hard one to write,� she said of the book that may be out next summer. “I asked a lady in a bookstore where the books on grief were, and she took me to this little corner of the store where there were maybe five books. I guess there’s not very many because it is so hard to write about.� Elliott, who has lived in Seymour since 1983, is a native of Seymour, Ind. She will sign copies of her book at 1 p.m. today at the Seymour Public Library. n ebrown@themountainpress.com
’Burg one of 41 regional Veterans Day observances From Submitted Reports Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki has announced 41 regional Veterans Day observances, including one in Gatlinburg. These sites are model community events for the observance of Veterans Day 2009, he said. “Veterans Day is a national thank you to the men and women who have served all of us in uniform,� Shinseki said. “These regional observances enable the federal government to bring resources closer to more Veterans.� President Eisenhower formed the Veterans Day National Committee in 1954 to plan and pro-
mote the observance of the holiday. Today, the committee is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and is comprised of representatives from 44 organizations. The 2009 Veterans Day regional observances range from parades and ceremonies to military exhibits and
tributes to distinguished local Veterans. Each site is recognized by the VA and may receive military support from the Department of Defense when available. Gatlinburg and Nashville are the only sites selected in Tennessee. For more information visit www.va.gov/opa/ vetsday/regsites.asp.

Herenton holds off on fundraising By LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press Writer Former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton says he doesn’t plan to begin fundraising for the 9th Congressional District race until early next year and he’s not concerned about the advantage that might give his opponent. Herenton told The Associated Press that he filed a document with the Federal Election Commission saying his campaign hasn’t raised any money or made a loan in excess of $5,000. Thursday was the deadline for congressional candidates to submit their campaign fundraising reports. Herenton’s opponent, fellow Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, didn’t immediately return a phone call about his campaign figures. However, regardless of Cohen’s numbers, Herenton said he’s not worried and plans to start fundraising events in January. Rhodes College political science professor Marcus Pohlmann said Thursday that Herenton left his mayor’s office under a cloud and “how he erases that cloud could cost some money.� His resignation came amid federal investigators questioning how he used extra money from a pricey annual Christmas party attended by prominent business people, The Commercial Appeal has reported. The newspaper has reported that the money, acknowledged by Herenton’s lawyer, is being scrutinized by FBI and IRS agents. Recent records obtained by the newspaper show businessmen who paid Herenton for an option to purchase the Greyhound site hoped to build a luxury hotel there. “For the people that aren’t part of his base, he may have to do some sort of correcting of image,� Pohlmann said. “Some of it may be by television and radio ads, which cost money.� But Herenton, who served 18 years as the city’s first black mayor, said Wednesday that he believes 9th District voters will focus more on his qualifications and public service experience. “I have a good ... feeling about the race,� he said. In the 3rd Congressional District in southeast Tennessee some Republicans campaigning to be Zach Wamp’s successor have relied heavily on their own money, the campaign reports show. Chattanooga lawyer Chuck Fleischmann’s campaign reported receiving $372,000, including $255,000 loaned by Fleischmann. Art Rhodes of Cleveland, a pension executive, reported his campaign received $109,000 through Sept. 30, including a $75,000 loan out of his own pocket. Former state GOP chairwoman Robin Smith reported $149,000, all from contributions. In a verbal swipe at the candidate lending, Smith said in a statement that her campaign “will be about the people I represent, not the title I can buy.�

U.S. man accused of grabbing own kids freed in Japan TOKYO (AP) — Japanese police released a Tennessee man held for 18 days on Thursday, pending an investigation into accusations he snatched his children from his ex-wife. The case is among a growing number of custody disputes in Japan that involve one foreign parent. Japanese law allows only one parent to be a custodian — almost always the mother — leaving many divorced fathers without access to their children until they are grown.

previously adopted by the commission. Campbell refused to sign that document. “What you voted on what not what he intended the agreement to be,� city attorney Jim Gass explained to the board. “We have added some changes that you have and there have been some additional changes made that are not on the drafts you received.� The revised document will permit Campbell to relocate one board face from a structure he owns in front of Texas Roadhouse and another he’s permitted for on the hill before Dollywood’s old entrance to one-face boards in front of the Red Carpet Inn and Smith Family Theater. He also has the option to use digital on those boards or any other he owns in the city. Campbell didn’t lose much in the amending. He did commit to not making boards facing The Inn at Christmas Place digital after protests from owners of that property and agreed to not make anymore singleface boards. At the same time, he had provisions that would have forbade him moving other boards around and upgrading his existing structures to digital removed.

No Social Security hike Could boost new payments By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Social Security recipients won’t get a cost-of-living increase next year for the first time in more than a third of a century, and that could boost President Barack Obama’s plan to send seniors another round of $250 payments before the congressional elections. Democratic leaders in Congress have signed onto the plan, greatly improving its chances, even as
some budget hawks say the payments are unwarranted and could add to the federal budget deficit. Republican leaders said they, too, favor the payments but don’t want to increase the deficit to pay for them. More than 50 million Social Security recipients will see no increase in their monthly payments next year, the government said Thursday, the first year without an increase since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975. Blame it on falling consumer prices. By law, cost-of-living adjustments are pegged to inflation, which is negative this year because of lower energy costs. Social Security payments do not go down, even when prices drop. Social Security recipients at a senior center in Pembroke Pines, Fla., a sub-
Nancy Pelosi makes case for government-run health option WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that the case is growing stronger for allowing the government to sell health insurance in competition with private companies, contending recent attacks from the industry should dispel any doubts. “The need for a public option is very clear,� the California Democrat told reporters at her weekly news conference, making the argument as lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol worked to finalize sweeping legislation extending coverage to mil-
lions of the uninsured. “Anyone who had any doubts about the need for such an option need only look at the behavior of the health insurance industry this week,� Pelosi said. She was referring to an industry-funded study that said insurance premiums would rise under health overhaul legislation advanced by the Senate Finance Committee earlier this week. Pelosi also referenced an insurance industry ad campaign targeted at seniors. The speaker has been on the attack against health insurers for months, but
Boy feared floating away in balloon found FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A 6-year-old Colorado boy feared to have floated off in a helium balloon was found safe at his home Thursday, hiding in a cardboard box in the garage attic. Sheriff Jim Alderman turned to reporters during a news conference and gave a thumbs up and said, “He’s at the house.� Alderden said an investigator on the scene saw the boy and he was fine, and had apparently been in the attic the whole time. The giant silvery helium balloon floated away from the family’s yard late Thursday morning, sparking a frantic rescue operation after the boy’s brother said he saw 6-year-old Falcon Heene get into the balloon. The flying saucer-like craft, shown live on television nationwide, tipped precariously at times before gliding to the ground in a field, the culmination of a
two-hour, 50-mile journey through two counties. With the child nowhere in sight, investigators searched the balloon’s

What are you gonna do? You can’t do nothing about it,� said Ed Nunez, 69, a retired truck driver from Miami. The White House said the stimulus payments would cost $13 billion, though a congressional estimate put the cost at $14 billion. Obama didn’t say how the payments should be financed, leaving that up to Congress.
path. Several people reported seeing something fall from the craft while it was in the air, and yellow crime-scene tape was
placed around the home. It was not clear why the boy’s brother reported seeing Falcon getting into the balloon.
the latest developments clearly strengthened her resolve to make them pay. She also said the House was now considering add-
ing to its health care bill a $6.7 billion-a-year fee on insurance companies that is part of the Senate Finance package.

Woman charged in bank robbery case KNOXVILLE (AP) — An East Tennessee woman was arrested Thursday on charges of being an accessory in the case of a man suspected of robbing 14 banks in six states, the FBI said. Linda Christina Davis Goin of Morristown, also known as Christy Davis, was arrested without incident in Morristown, according to an FBI news release. She is charged with making false statements and being an accessory in the case involving Chad E. Schaffner, 37, of Indianapolis.
He was arrested Sept. 12 in Kingdom City, Mo., and is suspected of robbing banks in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. Schaffner’s picture was posted on electronic billboards across the South before his arrest. Agents did not say how she was allegedly involved or where exactly in Morristown she was arrested. She had been indicted earlier. Schaffner had been wanted on felony warrants for bank robbery, burglary,
armed robbery and receiving stolen property. The FBI turned to electronic billboards to try to catch the robbery suspect after traditional investigations failed. Agents say the billboards worked: Schaffner was identified as a suspect within 24 hours of bank surveillance photos popping up on wall-size electronic highway signs in eight states. Schaffner was released from an Indiana prison in December after serving time for armed robbery, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal
court in Tennessee to support an arrest warrant. In each of the recent cases, authorities say Schaffner entered the bank, waved a handgun and threatened to use it. He demanded money then fled. He sometimes wore a red baseball cap but never tried to hide his face, which officials said was uncommon. The FBI-posted picture has appeared on electronic billboards in Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

commentary
President deserving of top prize Obviously, the world, or at least a heck of a lot of foreigners, love Barack Obama. The Nobel Peace Prize is an impressive, if surprising, symbol of that. The prize, one hopes, will give American moral standing a boost after revelations of torture and such in recent years. Ironically, though, it will probably increase the xenophobia of the American right. Mouthy conservatives are going to see this as proof that Obama is not one of “us.” They’re going to say he’s one of “them” — them being most anyone who does not speak English as a first language and some who do. One right-winger, who happens to be a foreigner, the Israeli legislator Danny Danon, belittled Obama as winning for “wishful thinking.” Clever line, but, in fact, the President does deserve the prize as it was originally defined in 1895 by Alfred Nobel, once the owner of one of the world’s pre-eminent arms manufacturer, Bofors, in Sweden. Perhaps feeling a bit ambivalent about inventing dynamite, Nobel directed Swedish leaders to reward “the person who shall have done the most or best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses.” In Washington, it would be hard to get “Obama,” “Congress” and “peace” in the same sentence, but the American leader (and the American people he represents) has done extraordinary work in promoting somewhat utopian “fraternity between the nations.” It can be argued that most anyone could have done that after the reign of a pre-emptive warrior such as George W. Bush, but Obama was the one who did it. As Sally Field might have put it, in many parts of the world, “They like us,they really like us.” In announcing the prize to a gasping audience in Oslo, Norway, that country’s former prime minister, Thorbjoern Jagland, said: “Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. ... Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.” American right-wingers were at least as surprised as the Oslo audience and Danny Danon. “At first I thought the announcement of the prize was a joke,” said Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for the second President Bush. “On further reflection, the Nobel Committee has made itself a joke. It has decided to give a ribbon before the race, a trophy for aspiration, a gold star for admirable sentiments.” Actually, who is against admirable sentiments for men and women who control armies? Anticipating the criticism, which will build and build as Foxy commentators vent their outrage against foreigners, of whom they suspect Obama is one, Jagland said after the announcement: “The question we have to ask is who has done the most in the previous year to enhance peace in the world. And who has done more than Barack Obama? Look at the level of confrontation we had just a few years ago. Now we get a man who is not only willing but probably able to open dialogue and strengthen international institutions.” Or, as was said at the White House in 1954 by a visitor named Winston Churchill: “To jaw-jaw always is better than to war-war.” Back to reality, or what passes for reality in Washington. Perhaps our new Peace Prize winner can use his many rhetorical skills to end all the war-war here at home. Who knows, maybe admirable sentiments could win him another Nobel. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial
Measuring up
We must work together to raise math, science test scores The news is disturbing and sobering and ought to be a wakeup call to every school system across this state. Math scores for Tennessee students rank among the worst in the nation and have not made significant gains over the last two years. In the National Assessment of Educational Progress, Tennessee eighth-graders scored lower than eighth-graders in 36 states, while fourth-graders scored lower than students in 43 states. Statistics don’t lie and they can’t be spun to suit parents or the leaders of our school systems. State officials say new curriculum standards enacted this year show they’re trying to do better. They think that will lead to higher test scores. But why hasn’t something significant been done before now to reverse this poor trend? School systems should never accept merely getting passing marks. They ought to be working hard to exceed
them, to be among the best, not stuck in the middle of the pack — or worse, near the bottom. Rachel Woods, spokeswoman for the Department of Education, said making Tennessee’s schools harder and redefining what it means for a student to be “proficient” will lead to increases on future exams. “You will see it in two years,” she told The Tennessean. “Our standards are too easy, so we’re going to plateau at some point if we don’t raise the bar, which is what we’re doing.” That’s encouraging. America in general is falling far behind other countries in the math and science skills of its students. In a global economy connected so easily by the Internet, that can’t continue. The United States cannot remain the greatest country on Earth if its students aren’t able to be at or near the top of the kinds of academ-
ic skills they will need to compete. Teaching children is harder every year. Motivating them to learn should not be a responsibility only of teachers and schools. Kids are not getting enough support for school work at home, and their time is diverted to recreational pursuits such as video games, the Internet and social networks. Dumping this problem solely on our schools is unfair. There is enough blame to go around. Schools must be cathedrals for learning, where success and achievement are rewarded, where great teachers are paid accordingly, where academic success is as lauded as athletic success, where innovation is encouraged and where students are challenged to do better. That’s the way homes should be too. We now know the score. Getting these test scores up should be a community effort. It won’t be easy. Let’s get started.

Public forum Operation Christmas Child gets ready for collection of gifts
Editor: Operation Christmas Child is a special ministry coordinated by Samaritan’s Purse that brings hope, joy and the true meaning of Christmas to children throughout the world. This is done through a simple giftfilled shoe box that shows God’s great love. We invite all churches in Sevier County to be involved as a simple, hands-on mission outreach while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. Decide if the gift is for a boy or girl and what age group: 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. Then, get an empty shoe box, fill it with gifts such as toys, school supplies, hygiene items, T-shirt, socks, hard candy, etc. Put in a personal note and maybe a photo of your family. Pray for the child who will receive the gift. We also ask that you include $7 to help
with handling and shipping costs. Bring all the gifts from your church to our relay center during collection week Nov. 16-23. You may want to appoint one or two people to head up the OCC ministry in your church. It is very simple. Your shoe box gift can forever change the life of a desperate child. Last year our county gave about 4,500 shoe boxes. These were sent to the Knoxyille collection center, then to the OCC Processing Center in Boone, N.C. Samaritan’s Purse gathers all the shoe boxes from throughout the United States and several foreign countries and delivers them to 109 different countries. In all some 8 million shoe boxes were given out to children. Those same 7.9 million children also got to hear about God’s great love for them in sending His son Jesus. As a result many children gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Please help us make 2009 the best year ever for this ministry. Our goal is to exceed the
4,500 boxes last year. There are resource kits available which give details. You can obtain the information package at www.samaritanspurse.ong and they will deliver them to your church. Churches who participated in the past will more than likely receive a resource kit. You can also contact me directly. We have a larger relay center this year for the collection of gift shoe boxes in Sevier County. We will be at the Conference Center at River Plantation RV Park, 1004 The Parkway, Sevierville. Our collection hours will be 1-5 p.m. Nov. 15; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 16-20; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 21; and 1-5 p.m. Nov. 22. For any other details or to volunteer during collection week, contact me. I thank you for your support and value your prayers for this extraordinary ministry. Karen Hall Sevier County Coordinator Operation Christmas Child

PREP VOLLEYBALL
PF loses District 3-AA title, makes region tournament By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — Thursday night was bittersweet for the Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers volleyball team. Bitter, because they were swept in the District 3-AA tournament championship match in three games by the No.1 seed host school Gibbs Lady Eagles. Sweet, because the Lady Tigers first took a 3-1 match win over No.3 seed Union County earlier in the evening, automatically qualifying Pigeon Forge the regional tournament scheduled for Tuesday night at Gibbs. “Gibbs is very good, and they were the better team tonight,” said Pigeon Forge coach Jessica Sterling. “They were on a roll. “Championships are great, and I love winning them, but our goal every year is to make the region tournament, and we made it tonight. “It’s still bittersweet, but the level of competition in this new district is much tougher than the one we
came from. Nobody thought any of the new teams would make it this far, so I’m pretty impressed with us.” Game 1 was close at the start with the teams tied 5-5 early, but Gibbs began to pull away and eventually cruised to an easy nine-point, 25-16, win. The Lady Eagles took that momentum and rode it into Game 2, building a 9-3 lead over a listless Pigeon Forge squad. But Somehow, the Lady Tigers got back into the match, slowly cutting into the Gibbs lead and eventually knotting it 16-16 after Annie Vaughan served four straight points, helped out by a couple of nice plays at the net by Danielle Rauhuff. Pigeon Forge looked poised to tie the match at a game apiece after building a 24-21 game-point edge, but that’s when the Lady Eagles rallied with five-straight points to take a heartbreaker, 26-24, that defined the championship match. Gibbs built a huge 20-9 lead to start Game 3. The
Lady Tigers showed some signs of life late, cutting it to 22-16 after five straight Sarah Clabo serves for points ... but it was too little, too late. Gibbs sealed the title with a 25-20 Game 3 win. Earlier Thursday night, the Lady Tigers earned the right to compete for the District 3-AA tournament championship with a 3-1 match win over the No.3 seed Union County Lady Patriots, taking the contest with 28-26, 23-25, 25-19 and 25-23 game scores. Pigeon Forge narrowly escaped a first-set upset after the Lady Patriots built a 24-22 lead, but consecutive Clabo serves that set up consecutive Katherine Lenhart spikes gave the Lady Tigers a 25-24 edge. Two straight touch shots at the net by Sarah Carr and Rauhuff gave Pigeon Forge the important Game 1 win by two points, 28-26. In Game 2, the Lady Tigers built an early lead just to see Union County come back for its lone game win of the night.

G-P, Austin-East is the only game in town tonight By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor GATLINBURG — One week ago, the GatlinburgPittman Highlanders shocked the state with a 14-11 upset of former state champ Fulton. Coach Benny Hammonds was adament last week that his team could compete with the Falcons, and they did just that, as the defense played their hearts out in the win, scoring an important touchdown to help the struggling Highlander offense. This week G-P is underdog again, but they do have the advantage of playing at Hammonds Field. With all three of Sevier County’s other public high
schools playing out of town, the Highlanders should have a good home crowd to see the Blue and Gold take on the world again. While Austin-East is 3-3 overall this season and one spot behind the 7-0 Highlanders in the AP’s prep pole, the Roadrunners are widely regarded as the favorite in the game thanks to their tough scheduling and big wins over Carter, Fulton and Morristown East. Several state computer polls have Austin-East above G-P, and one has A-E a 12-point favorite. Luckily for the Highlanders, football is played on the field. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Unbeaten Bears won’t be overconfident vs. Cherokee Brewer: Team not good enough to overlook anyone By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Smoky Bears are 7-0 for the first time in head coach Steve Brewer’s tenure, and while thoughts of a possible undefeated season are likely running wild in fans’ heads, Brewer said the team is taking things one game at a time. “Our goal right now is just to go 8-0,” Brewer said on the Sevier County track Thursday afternoon, taking a break from his daily run. “We just challenge our guys, and we ask them, ‘are you mature enough to be in this spot?’ Because when you’re in the spot we’re in, you’ve got to really guard your position. You’re going to get everybody’s best, and you’re not
“When you’re in the spot we’re in, you’ve got to really guard your position. You’re going to get everybody’s best, and you’re not going to sneak up on anybody.” SCHS coach Steve Brewer
going to sneak up on anybody. If you come out and you start playing flat and passive, it gives them confidence that (beating you) is a doable thing. “We cannot allow that to happen. If we’re mature enough and we realize the position that we’ve worked ourselves into, then we’ll come out and take the game as serious as it deserves to be taken. We’re not good enough to overlook anybody. We can’t just show up and expect to win.” Tonight the Bears play the Cherokee Chiefs (2-5,
1-3 in District 2-AAA), a team Brewer insists is better than its record indicates. “The thing that strikes me about Cherokee, is they started really quick against Jeff County. Now Jeff County did a good job of coming back and overcoming that lead, but this is a bunch that had Morristown East beat. They were up with less than a minute to go in the game and East completes a 60-yard touchdown pass with less than 20 seconds left. They had East beat.
To me that just shows what kind of potential they have. I was talking to a region coach yesterday, and he said, ‘Cherokee’s not bad.’ They got out in front of West like 14-0, before West came back. “I think momentum is going to be very important tomorrow night,” Brewer continued. “I think we’ve got to seize it and keep it. They’ve got the leading rusher in the conference, so they’re doing some things right. (Cherokee coach) Mike Sivert’s been around a long time, he knows how to work a game, and we’ve seen them do a lot of unique things in special teams and on offense, so I’m sure he’s going to have some wrinkles in that Jason Davis/The Mountain Press we’re not prepared for, so SCHS quarterback Zach Flynn throws a pass against Jefferson County earlier this season. See SMOKY BEARS, Page A10 Flynn has helped lead the Bears to an 8-0 mark so far this season.

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICITIONS
This could be a big week for Sevier County football
Gatlinburg-Pittman hosts Austin East Last week GatlinburgPittman shocked pretty much everybody on the Pigskin Picks Panel, as the Highlanders out-slugged the Fulton Falcons 14-11 in the muck and mire caused by the torrential downpours. I believe the forecast for more rain through Saturday helps G-P’s chances of pulling off a miracle win again this week against Austin-East. But, being ever the realist, I’m forced to further examine this Roadrunner team and discover that they appear an even bigger challenge than Fulton. While A-E has lost three games this season, those losses have come to three powerful schools (Ooltewah, Brainerd and Knox Catholic) that have a combined 17-4 record. The Roadrunners were close in all of those loses as well, losing by a combined
14 points over the three. The only common opponent G-P and A-E have played so far is Union, and that was an easy win for both teams. Should G-P win this game, I’ll pick them the rest of the season, no matter what. Still, I’ve got to pick the Roadrunners. — A-E wins 28-18.
played pretty well this season, just not well enough to win. I think this Seymour team is definately better than their 2-5 record, and the numbers prove it. Seymour has actually outscored its opponents this season, 128-117. Even if you take out the team’s best results (a 51-0 win over Cocke County) and it’s worst (a 36-6 loss to CAK), Seymour’s only been outscored by 10 by its remaining five opponents. I think Seymour rolls in this one. — Seymour wins 24-10.
Sevier County at Cherokee
Pigeon Forge at Union County
As any good coach will tell you, you shouldn’t overlook any opponents. I don’t think the Smoky Bears will overlook Cherokee, although the Chiefs might wish they had. Cherokee hasn’t beaten any team with a “W� on their record, and I think Sevier County will probably put some distance between the two teams early. — SC wins 35-13.
Seymour at South-Doyle
This border rivalry will be a good chance for the Eagles to take out some of the frustration of the season so far. The Seymour team has
Union County’s only victory this season is against Grainger. Pigeon Forge has won three of its last five games and is looking to achieve its first four-win season under coach Lee Hammonds. They get there tonight. — Pigeon Forge wins 27-14.
The King’s Academy at Oakdale
TKA’s had it rough against the last two public schools they played, with losses to Sunbright and Unaka. Tonight it’s smooth sailing. Oakdale hasn’t won a game in 364 days. — TKA wins 35-14.

Border Battle: Seymour looks for big win over South-Doyle By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — When it comes to rivalries, there may be none bigger for the Seymour Eagles than the South-Doyle Cherokees. “It’s a border thing,� Seymour coach Jim Moore said Thursday. “A lot of our kids have played together growing up, they’ve been in little league together and they’ve gone to church together. “And, of course, they beat us last year.� Tonight the Eagles (2-5, 1-3) travel to face the Cherokees (0-7, 0-4) for the first time as IMAC Conference opponents.
“Being in the conference, that’s a first for us and it adds a little more to us,� Moore said. “We still want to the playoffs, and we’ve got to beat them to do that.� Coach Moore said the Eagles have had a good week of practice heading into the game, and the kids have been extremely focused on one thing — getting better. “Our thoughts are basically on ourselves right now correcting our mistakes and playing our ball and worrying about those things and letting the game be dictated by that.� While there’s been rain all week and will probably be more on Friday night, Moore said the soggy con-
didtions haven’t effected the team’s effort on the practice field. “The week of practice went very well, like they’ve done all year, they practiced well,� Moore said. “They’ve executed well. We don’t care if there’s a typhoon that comes through here we’re going to the play the game with no mistakes “They’ve been more focused this week on doing things correctly, they knew how close they were in a lot of areas (with Morristown East last week), and they saw the mistakes they made and are looking for ways to correct that.� Kickoff is set for 7:30 at South-Doyle.

48-60 MONTH TERM WITH APPROVED CREDIT
This week every team in Sevier County has a legitimate chance of winning, which would make this sports editor’s day. After years of covering teams that struggled to get over the .500 mark prior to moving to Sevier County, it would be a pleasure to have two unbeaten teams this far into the regular season.

we’ve got to be on our toes and play good, hard football.� Perhaps the key for the Smoky Bears will be their defense. One week after holding Morristown West to just three points, Brewer said his team’s discipline and following through on their assignments is one big difference in this team and last year’s 5-5 SCHS squad. “Last week out of West’s 58 offensive plays, 54 of those plays we did not have a defensive bust,� Brewer said. “That means 93 per-
cent of the time we lined up and did what we were supposed to do.� In addition, the coach said this year’s team has a lot more people making big contributions. “We’re getting catches from a lot of different wide receivers. We have 12 rushing touchdowns from our running backs, and (quarterback) Zach Flynn has done well,� Brewer said. “We’ve got capable backups, and the offensive line has protected the quarterback very well.� Kickoff is at Cherokee High School in Rogersville at 7:30 p.m. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Tigers look for complete game against Union By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE - The young Pigeon Forge Tigers prep gridiron team is an improving bunch, winning two of its last three contests, but they have yet to put together a complete football game this season. Tonight, at District 3-AA rival Union County Patriots (1-6 overall, 0-3 in District 3-AA), the Orange and Black (3-4 overall, 0-3 in District 3-AA) hope to do just that. “We’ve had a pretty good week of practice, and we’ve got some confidence from the way we beat Meigs County last Friday night, coming back on them in the second half,� said thirdyear Pigeon Forge coach
Lee Hammonds. “But last week is last week, and it’s behind us now. “This week, we’ve got the opportunity to win our first district game, we’ve got the opportunity to even our record at .500 and we’ve got a chance to win back-to-back ball games. “But to do those things, we’ve got to put together all three phases of the game. We’ve talked about that all week. We need to have a game where our defense is sharp, our offense is sharp and our special teams are sharp. We’ve yet to do that this year, so we’re focusing on having a good game in all three phases (tonight).� Although Union County has won just one game this year, 39-14 over the struggling Grainger Grizzlies,
the Tigers know it will still be a challenge for them to earn their fourth victory of the season tonight. “It’s not going to be given to us,� said Hammonds. “Everybody knows we’re a young football team ... but we’re getting better and we’re starting to come together as a team and trust each other.
“But we’ve still got a lot of work to do, and we can’t sit back and think we’re good enough to just show up and beat anybody. We’ve got to prepare and work our butt off to beat any team, no matter who it is we’re playing.� chitchcock@themountainpress.com

REAGAN HEATING & A/C /VER YEARS EXPERIENCE (865)453-0977
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee linebacker Nick Reveiz has had successful surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right knee. Tennessee athletic trainer Jason McVeigh says Reveiz had his surgery on Wednesday and has since been released from the University of Tennessee Medical Center. McVeigh says Reveiz will be out for the season and limited in spring practice but should be fully recovered by next season.
The 5-foot-10, 220pound junior from Farragut tore his anterior cruiciate ligament Sept. 26 in the Volunteers’ 34-23 win over Ohio. At the time, he ranked second on the team with 4 1/2 tackles for a loss and third in overall stops with 27. Reveiz had worked his way into the starting middle linebacker role, which serves as a kind of quarterback for the defense, after walking on with the Vols as a freshman.

Phils’ Pedro Martinez ready for NLCS Game 2 start LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pedro Martinez’s first postseason start in five years will be in a familiar spot. Martinez is scheduled to pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the NL championship series against Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium on Friday. The 37-year-old right-hander made his major league debut with the Dodgers in 1992 and also played for Los Angeles in 1993 before he was traded to the Montreal Expos for Delino DeShields. “It’s going to be special, especially bringing back memories about my start here,� Martinez said before Game 1 on Thursday night. “I was born in this place, and I hope this is not the last one that I pitch here, but if it is, it would be a great joy to actually do it in the same place I started.� Martinez threw a simulated game Tuesday, facing backups Eric Bruntlett and Greg Dobbs. He had been scheduled to start Game 3 of the division series against Colorado, but manager Charlie Manuel went with J.A. Happ instead when weather delayed the game a day. Martinez, who hasn’t pitched in a game since Sept. 30, will be facing his old friend and fellow Dominican Manny Ramirez of the Dodgers. “Nobody can say I know how to pitch Manny. Manny is such a great hitter, and he’s someone that makes adjustments as he sees the game develop,� Martinez said. “Once the game is over, I hope he comes over and gives me the same real hug he always gives me and the same jokes.� Count on it. “He’s like my brother,� said Ramirez, who played with Martinez when they were with the Red Sox. “After the game we go and have a beer and everything is fine.� ——— S E P A R A T E D MCCOURTS: The separation of Los Angeles Dodgers

owner Frank McCourt and his wife Jamie shouldn’t affect the team, manager Joe Torre said Thursday. The couple confirmed in a terse statement Wednesday night that they have parted ways. There was no immediate word if they will divorce. “I don’t think it’s going to affect the team. I’m not saying they don’t care,� Torre said. “No question it’s going to take on a life of its own. I still continue to have the same relationship with the two of them. It’s something you certainly feel bad about.� Jamie McCourt sat in the first row of the owner’s box for Game 1 of the NLCS on Thursday. Her husband was in the third row next to former Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda. The McCourts have been married since 1979 and have four grown sons. In March, Frank McCourt
promoted his wife to chief executive officer of the team he gained ownership of in January 2004 after moving from his native Boston. She is the highest-ranking woman in Major League Baseball. Jamie McCourt began as Dodgers vice chairman and was named team president in 2005. ——— ROSTER SWITCH: The Yankees plan to add Freddy Guzman to their roster for the AL championship series in place of Eric Hinske, giving them a second potential pinch runner in addition to Brett Gardner. “We thought we could use another speed guy in this round,� manager Joe Girardi said. “We’ve had some success doing those type of things late in games and in seven-game series felt that it could come up late in games. ... Sometimes you can use a couple of pinch runners. And if Gardy gets a start, then you don’t have a pinch runner. It just frees us up to do more things.� ——— DRAWING ROOM: Alex Rodriguez’s locker at Yankee Stadium didn’t have any personal decoration for most of the season, but there was a new crayon drawing up Thursday: “Good luck Alex,� it read, with a heart around “Alex.� It was signed “Natasha,� the name of his daughter, who turns 5 next month.

Libraries get DVDs of show From Submitted Reports Great Smoky Mountains Association has donated copies of the documentary, “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,” to local public libraries. Millions of viewers tuned in to watch Ken Burns’ 12-hour series about the creation and evolving idea of national parks. A portion of the documentary was devoted to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and told the story of author Horace Kephart and photographer George Masa, who played important roles in raising support for the Park’s creation. The association, the Park’s nonprofit partner that manages its bookstores, has donated a full set of the series to each of the main libraries in Blount, Cocke and Sevier counties as well as several in North Carolina.
Pigeon Forge — Area volunteers are gearing up for the 2010 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sevier County. The Relay For Life kickoff rally will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Tennessee State Bank, 2210 Parkway. The public may attend to hear about the new ideas and innovations planned for this year. It will also be an opportunity for participants to register their teams and sign up to serve as Relay volunteers. Refreshments and prizes will also be offered. The 2010 Relay For Life will be held at Patriot Park on May 21. The annual event draws hundreds of participants who form over 50 teams to walk the track all night to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The funds raised allow the society to continue supporting cancer research, its legislative advocacy, and its educational and community service programs. This year an estimated 140 cancer survivors
walked the ceremonial opening lap to show the community that cancer can be defeated. Relay volunteers are currently being recruited to help serve on the planning committee. Subcommittees include team recruitment, logistics, corporate sponsorship recruitment, survivors lap and ceremony, luminaria sales and cere-
mony, food and entertainment, communications and mission delivery. For more information about the kickoff rally, to register a team or to serve as a volunteer, contact Robin Kurtz at 908-5789.

Casting a wide net Businesses utilizing social networks By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Whether you call them followers, friends, fans or subscribers, they’re all potential customers, visitors and contacts developed through the growing use of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others. Local businesses large and small are jumping on the social networking bandwagon as a way to stay in close contact with people all over the world, stretching their marketing dollars just a bit further than the average radio and television frequency may reach. The practice is getting to be so popular that Walters State Community College recently held classes on social networking as continuing education courses to give newcomers to the practice a few tips on how to make the most out of them. Wayne Duerer of USA Raft, which has a Gatlinburg office, took part in the classes to learn how to utilize Facebook in their day-to-day operations, which are based out of Hartford, Tenn. He said the rafting excursion company started both Twitter and Facebook pages a little over a month ago as “another way to get people’s attention. “We put things on there about things going on, water level and how the water’s going,” he said. That’s information their customers can also find out by calling, but this provides one more resource. Duerer said he sees networks like Facebook and Twitter as a way to stay in closer contact with customers, especially repeat customers. “In previous years we may have sent them a postcard,” he said, as reminder for their next trip. They will be able to send the same reminders next season through the social networks as well

Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more are becoming popular marketing tools for business and organizations. as inform them of discounts and even the number of seats available on lastminute trips. In the future — the season was nearing its conclusion when they started their page — Duerer said they hope to post photos and videos and have their fans and followers share theirs. Some businesses that haven’t officially started a Facebook or Twitter page still have a presence on such sites through unofficial fan-generated

Screen shots of Sevierville Chamber of Commerce, Dollywood and USA Raft’s social networking pages show how they get information out to their fans, subscribers and followers.
sites. For example, you can find 13 different Facebook sites associated with the name Dollywood, one with almost 9,500 fans. But according to park spokesman Pete Owens, none of those is an official site created by the park. “We’re creating one,” Owens said of a Facebook page. “We do have a YouTube channel and that is ours,” he said of the site they started last week (www.YouTube. com/dollywoodpublicity). On it, the park shares video of roller coasters and even old commercials. You can see even more videos from Dollywood by doing a simple search of the word on the YouTube site. Those are from individuals who posted videos of roller coaster rides or performances. Owens said while sites such as YouTube and Facebook are alternatives to get information out to people, it shouldn’t be the only way. “The important thing, I think, is it has to be a part of other efforts,” Owens said. “It can’t be a standalone thing.” One of their goals as a park, Owens said, is to generate more traffic on their official Web site. The YouTube page for Dollywood publicity has a link to the Dollywood.com Web site. “The key should always be to drive people back to your main Web site,” Owens said. That’s also a goal of the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce with its Twitter and Facebook pages, said Amanda Maples Marr, the marketing director. (The Twitter account is in her name, while the Facebook account is registered under Sevierville, Tennessee). “People are on Facebook all the See Net, Page B3

New fire fighting technology
Humans have an enormous capacity to overcome adversity Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been much of a fan of professional boxing, but I do appreciate the conditioning, stamina and determination required to compete in this demanding sport. And, like many other theater-goers, I thoroughly enjoyed and was inspired by the Rocky movie. I also enjoyed Rocky II and Rocky III and have created a story around the trilogy, using it many times as a goal-setting parable and an example of how our goals, rather than being set in concrete, often change. These Rocky thoughts came to mind over the past week as a result of a couple of things. First of all, I was speaking at a conference at which, to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight, the Rocky theme (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gonna Fly Nowâ&#x20AC;?) was played when the corporate CEO was introduced to speak following my keynote address. Secondly, upon my return to Gatlinburg from the engagement, someone sent me the quote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the courage maintained against overwhelming odds.â&#x20AC;? All who have enjoyed and have been uplifted by Rocky may not realize the screenplay written by the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star Sylvester Stallone was supposedly inspired by a real-life boxer named Chuck Wepner. The ex-marine and security guard had been a boxer for many years when he was matched against Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title. Asked prior to the event if he thought he had a chance, Wepner allegedly replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a survivor my whole life... if I survived the Marines, I can survive Ali.â&#x20AC;? Even though Wepner was not given much of a chance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go the distance,â&#x20AC;? not only did he survive the 15-round bout, he also knocked down Ali in the ninth round. This gave Wepner the distinction of being the only boxer to ever put Ali on the canvas while he was the heavyweight champion. Stallone supposedly watched the fight and then wrote the story of a down-and-out boxer who gets his shot at the heavyweight title against a boisterous champion. And, of course, in the first Rocky movie, Rocky â&#x20AC;&#x153;goes the distance,â&#x20AC;? handing
champion Apollo Creed all he can take. What do these mentions of Rocky, Wepner and the Success quote have to say to us? Well, for one thing, they just show that human beings, created in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, have an enormous capacity for overcoming adversity in our personal and professional lives. Through the years, numerous people have adopted the quote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been counted out several times, but I never heard the referee.â&#x20AC;? We experience great challenges in all areas of life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why English writer Robert W. Service (1874-1958) penned the encouraging verse: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to cry that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beaten and die â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to wallow and crawl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; But to fight and to fight when hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of sight, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best game of all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And though you come out of each grueling bout all broken, beaten and scarred, just have one more try â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to die, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the keeping on living thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard.â&#x20AC;? With these few lines, Service, who overcame much in his own life, encourages us to refuse to die; to resolve to overcome adversities; to be motivated by failures, knockdowns and setbacks; to become more creative; to focus on the task at hand; and to look forward rather than backward. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Š 2009.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good way to touch base with people who love this area,â&#x20AC;? Marr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, some local people are fans as well as people who want to move here, are looking forward to visiting or who drove through the area and thought it was great.â&#x20AC;? Their Facebook page is more popular, with 1,685 fans, than their Twitter page, with 114 followers. Marr, who manages both sites, said she posts and responds to messages in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;own voiceâ&#x20AC;? so the process has a more one-on-one feel. For example, when a woman expressed interest about the school system, she requested her contact information so she could mail the information she was looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really neat way to stay in touch with them and let people

Oprah shines spotlight on Big Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Submitted reports SEYMOUR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Big Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Karaoke Cafe recently received a visit by a production team from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oprah Winfrey Show.â&#x20AC;? Over the course of the evening, the production team, headed by associate producer Brian Piotrowicz, interviewed singers, regulars, staff members and the owners of the business, Norbert and Debi Stovall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to be recognized, not only for the fine singers who take our stage every week, but for the important work we do for the community, and for the everyday release we provide for the thousands of karaoke fans who just want to come out and have a great time,â&#x20AC;? Norbert Stovall said. Big Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was chosen for a visit due to its status as a karaoke mecca, according to Chris Gajilan, an associate producer for the TV show. The production team reviewed a dozen videos of performers at the cafe, selected 10 and requested their presence during the video shoot. In the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entourage was gospel star BeBe Winans who, along with Winfrey, will be co-hosting
a series of episodes on karaoke that could air on the syndicated show as soon as November. Winans interviewed many of the singers and performed his own rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;How Deep Is Your Love?â&#x20AC;?, made famous by the Bee Gees. Two regulars at the cafe, Frank and Helen Clickner, moved from North Carolina to Seymour. Frank spends weekends at the cafe singing Frank Sinatra tunes. The singers picked by the production crew and given on-camera interviews were told they have a chance to appear on the series of shows.

Advice
Readers asked to help fight child abuse, raise awareness
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: We need your help, and the help of your millions of readers, to safeguard kids. In every state, we are failing to protect children in desperate circumstances. The numbers are staggering. Official reports show that nearly five children in America die every day from abuse or neglect. The reality is that no one knows the exact number because there are differing definitions of abuse and neglect in all the states and inconsistent record-keeping. Experts say the real number is likely much higher. As many as half of all children who died from abuse and neglect last year had previously been brought to the attention of authorities who struggle to manage caseloads that keep growing bigger — tragic evidence of a system that is “stretched too thin.” On Oct. 21, child advocates, celebrities, pediatricians, teachers, social workers, law enforcement officers and others are going to Capitol Hill to raise awareness about the growing number of kids who are dying from child abuse. We need to make this issue a national priority. Your readers can send a letter to their congressperson in support, and will find more information on the We Can Do Better initiative at www. everychildmatters.org. Sincerely — Michael Petit, President, Every Child Matters Education Fund Dear Michael Petit: Thank you for the opportunity to remind our readers that we each have an obligation to protect children from abuse.
Those who do not know the name of their congressperson can contact writerep.house.gov and send an e-mail directly in support of We Can Do Better. Dear Annie: What is the proper way to respond when someone phones and asks for you? For example, when I have a phone call and the caller asks, “May I speak to Mary?” is it proper to say, “This is she”? Is it better to say “Speaking” or “This is Mary”? I have asked a number of people, but I get varying replies. — Confused in Riverside, Calif. Dear Riverside: How nice that you wish to reply properly. All of your suggested responses are perfectly fine. Feel free to give them each a turn. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “A Sad Mom,” whose daughter has herpes. A couple of years ago, I became infected by a partner who was dishonest. Until then, I was a healthy 22-year-old single woman. My first outbreak changed all that. I felt betrayed not only by my boyfriend, but by my own body. How could I have been so stupid? I felt disgusting. I thought no one would ever want to be with me unless they, too, had herpes, and I wouldn’t want to interact with “those people.”

For Better Or Worse
Tina’s Groove
Then one day, I broke down and cried to one of my best guy friends. He told me he had a girlfriend with herpes and it was no big deal. It made me realize that great guys would date someone with herpes. I realized I wasn’t alone, that people didn’t think I was worthless. And “those people” are one out of every five people I meet. I have been rejected, and yes, it hurts. But I have also accepted that it is my potential partner’s right to choose for himself whether he wants to take on the risk. I wish my ex had had the same courtesy for me. Two years ago, I met someone, and when our relationship seemed to be getting serious, I knew I had to tell him. It was one of the hardest things I have done. Last April, we were married. He still does not have herpes, and we are trying to have a baby. Your love life does not end with herpes. Learn to love your body again, and don’t be afraid to let someone else love it, too. — Happy in My Skin Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
