Families, friends gather to support Alzheimer’s research 5McMurray wins again McMurray upstages Chase drivers for 2nd win at Charlotte Sports, Page A8

5Ready, willing and able

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — For six years, Cathy Galtieri watched as her father, a brilliant CPA, slowly lost every memory of who she is as Alzheimer’s disease claimed his mind and, just this August, his life. On Saturday, she and her husband Andy joined with hundreds of others in an effort to ensure no other daughter or son has to go through what she did. The couple was part of the local Memory Walk, an event that sent participants on a loop walk around Pigeon Forge High School in a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. Their effort wasn’t just to raise money for the organization that is working to find a cure to the disease, it was also about growing awareness of the illness and, in a sadly ironic twist to the annual gather-

ing, remembering those who couldn’t remember them. “So many people know somebody themselves, or know somebody who knows somebody who has dealt with this,” Cathy Galtieri said, a note that declared, “I walk in honor of Dad,” stuck to her back. “I think it’s out there more than people realize.” It certainly has been for Galtieri. She also lost an aunt and grandmother to the disease, and worries every time she forgets something that the hereditary illness may be in her future. “You think about it,” she said. “It makes you wonder.” Most difficult of all has been sitting by her father’s bedside during his last hours knowing that it was only important to her that she be there, since he didn’t even recognize her as someone he’d ever met as the disease claimed his memory. It’s an experience that is still too fresh and too painful for her to even talk about, though her husband offers some insight into her struggle. “It was really hard to see,” Andy Galtieri said. “He was a CPA. He was a smart guy. All of a sudden he couldn’t remember stuff. It was very difficult for See Walk, Page A4

Market concludes bountiful first year

Question of the Week: Most planning to trick-or-treat Sunday Staff Reports

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — They were having a dog-gone good time Saturday at the Gatlinburg Farmers Market as they celebrated the success of the weekly gathering’s first year and prepared to pack things away until next year. It seemed fitting to organizers that the last market for this year be marked by a Harvestfest, so they planned a gathering that included pumpkin painting, bobbing for apples and even a costume contest for canines. The event drew not only an adorable lineup of doggies in duds, but also a crowd of people looking for one last hurrah of fresh eats on a morning that brought the first

Dogs dressed as squirrels, cowgirls and even a Gatlinburg police officer were part of the canine costume contest at the Gatlinburg Farmers Market’s Harvestfest celebration Saturday. Claiming top prize was Sadie, a five-month-old chocolate Labrador owned by David and Nancy Gray of Sevierville, who came dressed as a skunk.

Through its Facebook page, The Mountain Press posed the question many people are asking: With Halloween following on a Sunday, when will most people welcome trick-or-treaters, Saturday or Sunday? For the most part, it seems like most people will be welcoming trick-or-treaters on Sunday, All Hallow’s Eve, rather than on Saturday. But it also seems a safe bet to have to some candy available on Saturday just in case. Answers on the Facebook page indicated Gatlinburg will be handing out candy on Sunday, though no official source chimed in. Another post indicated First Baptist Church of Sevierville will host its Fall Festival for trick-or-treaters that same day. One poster questioned the day of the event at Pigeon Forge Community Center. An Internet search on the www.mypigeonforge.com website shows the Safe Halloween Celebration will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Pigeon Forge Community Center. You can call 429-7373 for more information. Another search showed the city of Gatlinburg will host its Halloween Carnival from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Gatlinburg Community Center. The event is for children in pre-school through eighth grade. More information is available at 436-4990. The question for this week turns to politcs: Will you vote for Haslam, McWherter or one of the other gubernatorial candidates and why?

Schaads celebrate 100 years

Submitted Report

Submitted Report Members of the Schaad family gathered recently to celebrate Schaad Companies’ centennial. Schaad Companies is a holding company comprised of businesses owned and controlled by members of the John H. Schaad Jr. family. The holding company was formed as a way to manage the businesses that evolved over 100 years. James Schaad said, “It takes a village to grow a family business for a hundred years — and for all who have been a part of Schaad Companies’ village, we are grateful.” The Schaads have strong ties to Sevierville, having developed land, commercial property, the Paine Lake residential community and, currently, Savannah Glen, a townhome community. According to James Schaad, Savannah Glen is the area’s first development offering Energy Star Certified homes. Jennifer Banner, the CEO of Schaad Companies, attributes its longevity to its continuous innovation. “When the Johan Schaad family arrived in East TennesseefromSwitzerland, they were farmers. Their son Albert’s health was the reason they chose to immigrate to Knoxville because the Tennessee Valley was known for its superior air quality,” said Banner. Albert became a language professor at East Tennessee University, now UT.” When the Schaads began business in East Tennessee, they sold chicken feed. Their businesses segued into hardware, building materials, and eventually construction and development. Banner praised Schaad’s recent public-private partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratories. “Working with ORNL,” she said, “we learned to build and retro-fit homes and commercial buildings to maximize energy efficiency. As a result, Schaad has launched a new business initiative to build stateof-the-art energy efficient structures, like the homes we are building in Savannah Glen.”

NASHVILLE — Campaign finance reports show the heaviest fundraising activity among congressional races in Tennessee is in the battle to succeed Democratic Rep. John Tanner, who is retiring from his 8th Congressional District seat in the state’s northwestern corner. Republican Stephen Fincher pushed his total receipts to $2.4 million since entering the race, including a $250,000 loan he made to the campaign during the primary and about $298,000 from political action committees. He reported a cash balance of about $542,000. Democrat Roy Herron’s total

A lot of Gatlinburg is focused on the visitors and that’s fine, but we wanted to start something that, month to month, could offer something for the locals.� Not only was it an opportunity for area residents to come together to share what they have

Tennessee has two other open House seats because of the retirements of Democratic Rep. Bart Gordon of Murfreesboro and Republican Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga.

er in the coming years as the baby boom generation reaches the threshold where most victims of the disease start to feel its effects. That usually occurs around the age of 65, those symptoms can be seen in people in their 40s or 50s. Those are scary statistics to folks like Judy Godfrey, a walk participant and county commissioner who turned out to support the effort at Saturday’s walk. While there isn’t a history of the disease in her family, Godfrey said she has friends who have dealt with it.

“It’s a very, very sad thing,� she said. “When a child goes to visit a parent and they don’t even know them, there’s nothing sadder than that.� That’s why Godfrey was willing to strap on her walking shoes and make the about 3-mile trek as part of a team from Curves of Seymour. She was one of a sea of folks who turned out, including teams from local schools, Dollywood, several banks and other community groups.

to offer and browse what their neighbors displayed, it was also a chance to keep some spending money in the county. “This is a great way to stimulate the local economy,� market-goer Vesna Plakanis said. “When we spend a dollar at a local farmers market like this, two times as much money stays in the area as when you buy from a chain store.� Among the items that have been sold during the market’s run starting in the spring are handcrafts like woven shawls and corn husk dolls, fruits and vegetables of every hue and type, freshly baked cookies, and even lye soap. “I think this farmers market is unique because not only do we have things that are coming out of the ground, the fruits and vegetables, we have these wonderful handmade items that come from the talent of our local people,� Gray explained. While Saturday’s gathering in the parking lot of Alamo Steakhouse on East Parkway was the last for this year, Jones vows the market will be back

and, hopefully, even better come spring. “People didn’t expect it to be this successful, but we’ve been blown away by how well it has been received,� she said. “We’re going to be working all winter to create more awareness and grow it even more.� Among those browsing Saturday was Vice Mayor Mike Warner, who said he shares the group’s dream of growing the market. “We’ve been here about every Saturday.

Poll: Many Obama supporters defecting to GOP By LIZ SIDOTI AP National Political Writer WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s winning coalition from 2008 has crumbled and his core backers are dispirited. It’s now Republicans who stand to benefit from an electorate that’s again craving change. Nearly two years after putting Obama in the White House, one-quarter of those who voted for the Democrat are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against the party in power this fall. Just half of them say they definitely will show

up Nov. 2, according to an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll released two weeks before Obama’s first midterm elections. Yet in a reflection of broad dissatisfaction with politics, just as many people who backed Republican presidential nominee John McCain are either supporting Democrats now or still considering how to vote. Still, McCain voters — to borrow Obama’s campaign rallying cry — are far more “fired up, ready to go.� Two-thirds say they are certain to vote next month. It’s a wide enthusiasm gap that’s buoy-

ing Republicans, who are poised for big electoral gains, and worrying Democrats, who are seeking to hang onto majorities in Congress as well among governors. Obama’s party hopes its superior getout-the-vote operation, updated from his groundbreaking campaign, can overcome Republicans’ energized supporters to mitigate expected losses across the board. While no president can be expected to fully rally his supporters when he’s not on the ballot, the survey illustrates the wide scope of Obama voters’ disappointment with the president and his policies

More intellectually disabled youths heading to college By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press Writer WARRENSBURG, Mo. — Zach Neff is all highfives as he walks through his college campus in western Missouri. The 27-year-old with Down syndrome hugs most everybody, repeatedly. He tells teachers he loves them. “I told Zach we are putting him on a hug diet — one to say hello and one to say goodbye,� said Joyce Downing, who helped start a new program at the University of Central Missouri that serves students with disabilities. The hope is that polishing up on social skills, like cutting back on the hugs, living in residence halls and going to classes with non-disabled classmates will help students like Neff be more independent and get better jobs. In years past, college life was largely off-limits for students with such disabilities, but that’s no longer the case. Students with Down syndrome, autism and other conditions that can result in intellectual disabilities are leaving high school more academically prepared than ever and ready for the next step: college. Eight years ago, disability advocates were able to find only four programs on university campuses that allowed students with intellectual disabilities to experience college life with extra help from mentors and tutors. As of last year, there were more than 250 spread across more than three dozen states and two Canadian provinces, said Debra Hart, head of Think College at the Institute for Community Inclusion at the University of Massachusetts Boston, which provides services to people with disabilities. That growth is partly because of an increasing

demand for higher education for these students and there are new federal funds for such programs. The federal rules that took effect this fall allow students with intellectual disabilities to receive grants and work-study money. Because details on the rules are still being worked out, the earliest students could have the money is next year. Hart and others expect the funds to prompt the creation of even more programs. “There is a whole generation of young people who have grown up under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and to them it (college) is the logical next step,� Hart said. The college programs for these students vary. Generally the aim is to support the students as they take regular classes with non-disabled students. Professors sometimes are advised to modify the integrated classes by doing things like shifting away from a format that relies entirely on lectures and adding more

Pa. man to give $1K for each jobless worker hired NEWTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia philanthropist who believes charity is a powerful incentive thinks he can help get Americans back to work one donation at a time. Gene Epstein, 71, is promoting a $250,000 effort called Hire Just One, with plans to make $1,000 donations to charity in the name of businesses that hire an unemployed person and keep the worker on the payroll for at least six months. Epstein, who amassed a personal fortune through car sales and real estate investments, has set aside his money for the first 250 hires — and thinks thou-

sands more jobs could be created if others took on his idea, too. “It’s an encouragement to businesses to not wait,� said Epstein, who thinks the incentive may be just enough to get small businesses over the hump to make a hire in tough economic times. “This becomes like an incredible stimulus program.� The idea came to Epstein at his sprawling home in suburban Bucks County last month. He said he hopes his program will encourage businesses in the region and beyond to make hundreds of thousands of new hires they wouldn’t have otherwise made.

Doc challenges NRA-backed Democrat Lincoln Davis By BILL POOVEY Associated Press Writer CHATTANOOGA — If its open season on Democrats in Congress, incumbent Lincoln Davis knows how to wear camouflage in Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District. For some reason, the four-term incumbent has taken some of it off. With a big money advantage in a district that typically backs incumbents, Davis had his sights on Nov. 2,

never mentioning his opponent and trying to stay comfortably distanced from the crosshairs of President Barack Obama’s detractors. After buying TV ads that showed children and saying “I stand up to either party when they are wrong,” Davis abruptly bought an ad about his Republican opponent, Dr. Scott DesJarlais of Jasper. The ad highlights decade-old divorce allegations that the doctor intimidated his ex-wife with a gun, in one

instance putting it in his mouth for three hours. Case records show the judge who granted the divorce in 2001 criticized the conduct of both the husband and wife. Davis’s change of ad strategy heaped new media attention on DesJarlais and has attracted national GOP dollars for the firsttime political candidate. National Republicans last week committed $500,000 to help DesJarlais.

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia woman whose 15-year-old daughter appeared on an episode of Tyra Banks’ talk show featuring teen sex addicts is suing the TV host for $3 million. In a lawsuit filed Oct. 8 in federal court in Banks Atlanta, Beverly McClendon says her daughter appeared on the former model’s talk show without McClendon’s permission. Banks, Warner Bros. Entertainment and the producers of the show are named as defendants. A spokesman for Warner Bros. Television Group said Sunday that the company has no comment. The lawsuit claims violation of privacy and negligence. It asks for $3 million in damages and seeks to keep the episode from ever being aired again. McClendon says her daughter suffered damages because the 2009 show “was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles.”

commentary

EPA rule proposals job killer By REP. Phil Roe Since the Senate will not pass the flawed cap and trade legislation, the Administration is taking matters into their own hands, using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as their lead enforcement agency. New regulations planned by the EPA could have detrimental effects to our economy — particularly causing a loss of jobs, impeding economic recovery and harming livelihoods. Recently, I joined other members of the Rural America Solutions Group for a forum to discuss harmful regulations that may be imposed by the Obama Administration’s EPA and have already been championed by the Democratic leadership in Congress. Included in this forum were seven panelists from across the country who offered perspective and real-life examples on how these regulations could hurt job creation and economic growth. Overwhelmingly, the panelists agreed that EPA’s policies are overreaching, burdensome regulations. The heart of the EPA’s regulation would be a backdoor national energy tax that will ultimately kill jobs, stop economic growth and raise the cost of energy, food and transportation. They would also double the current regulatory standard on farm dust that would make tilling a field, operating a feedlot or diving farm vehicles impossible — bringing the agriculture sector to a standstill. A representative from the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation said, “Farmers and their way of life and livelihood have never felt more challenged or threatened than they do today by the continuous onslaught of regulations and requirements from the Environmental Protection Agency. ... The cost they represent will impact the economy as a whole, and this committee should not be surprised when our economy contracts and jobs are lost to foreign competition.” In addition, a new regulation on hydraulic fracturing — considered a safe, well-regulated natural gas drilling technology under the Clean Water Act — would greatly harm domestic energy production and kill thousands of energy jobs. New relegations on solid fuel-fired boilers have also been set, and could result in tens of billions in capital costs for upgrades, in turn costing thousands of jobs because of these losses. A common theme heard in testimony by representatives across the spectrum — from the cattle industry, to the coal industry, to farming — all said that the “Obama Administration’s environmental policies ... appear to be aimed at destroying [their] industry in America.” Attempts to expand EPA’s control over everything from mud puddles to dust will have dire economic consequences on small businesses and family farms. As folks around the country are experiencing great economic strain, these new regulations will only continue to add strain on businesses struggling to stay afloat. These new regulations are harmful to the 1st District of Tennessee because they could shut down business and put thousands of Americans out of work. I am all for clean air, and I believe government should ensure that companies are playing by the rules. But what we don’t need is any more ridiculous red tape in the 1st District and around the country that has not been authorized by Congress and will only harm job growth in our country. We need a federal government that will focus on creating jobs, and preventing tax hikes and getting our economy back on track. Please feel free to contact my office if we can be of assistance to you or your family. You can contact my office by mail, e-mail or phone. Our contact information can be found on our Web site, www.roe. house.gov. ­— U.S. Rep.

A bear of a mascot

Ole Miss could have done better than a black bear for new mascot Choosing a mascot for a school or sports program can be tough, but why the University of Mississippi came up with a black bear is just hard to understand. Remember those shirts kids wear that say, “My parents went to the Bahamas and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”? How about this one the Ole Miss students could wear: “We spend all that time coming up with a new mascot and all we got was this lousy black bear.” The University of Mississippi should be commended for its efforts to rid itself of images of the Old South. Confederate battle flags are banned. Mascot “Colonel Reb,” the goateed Southern planter who led cheers since 1979, is gone. Good riddance. But a bear?

After seven years and lots of rancorous and contentious discussions and arguing, Colonel Reb’s successor was named last week: “Rebel Black Bear” won 62 percent of the vote in a final poll. Picking a replacement became a statewide issue and a source of some fun. In the end, a smiling black bear inspired in part by longtime Oxford resident William Faulkner won out, defeating two other nominees: the “Rebel Land Shark,” based on the “fins up” hand motion started by late Rebel football player Tony Fein; and “Hotty Toddy,” a gray human-like character that aimed to personify a school cheer. The team will still be the Rebels. They didn’t take that away. And they did leave it up to students and fans for the final

result. But this was a chance to be creative, to have some fun, to be, well, different. Instead Ole Miss cheers will be led by a costumed bear. The black bear is connected to Ole Miss through Faulkner, the Nobel Prizewinning novelist who wrote “The Bear.” In it, Old Ben stands as a symbol of pride, strength and toughness. Good to see the colonel placed in storage, despite emotional efforts to keep it by former students and fans. The change was needed. To have the team’s mascot evoke vestiges of the Old South was not appropriate in these times. It may have hurt the university’s efforts to be more diverse and respected. Just wish we could have seen more ingenuity at work in Oxford.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Spotlight on Johnson, Jones-Drew By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice JonesDrew (32), minus his helmet, dives over the goal line past Indianapolis Colts linebacker Gary Brackett (58) for a one-yard touchdown in the first half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 3

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tennessee’s Chris Johnson and Jacksonville’s Maurice JonesDrew set an NFL rushing record the last time they shared a field. They gave the league its first game with four scoring runs of 50 yards or longer last November, dazzling teammates, coaches and fans with broken tackles, breathtaking moves and breakaway speed. Players on both sidelines were hesitant to look away for even a second, feeling like they might miss something special. Jones-Drew ripped off touchdown runs of 80 and 79 yards, then Johnson got loose for scoring scampers of 52 and 89 yards. Jones-Drew finished with a career-high 177 yards rushing, and Johnson ended his career day with 228 yards on the ground and a victory. What will they do for an encore Monday night? Don’t expect a repeat performance. Both stars

are banged up and both defenses are determined not to let it happen again. Still, the matchup might be the most important one when the Jaguars (3-2) host the Titans (3-2). After all, the team with more rushing yards has won the last six meetings. “They’re two different types of runners, obviously,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. “But they both accomplish the same thing and that’s make big plays and keep the chains moving, and they have the ability to make the home run every time they take the ball.” That was evident in Tennessee’s 30-13 win last season. The speedy and elusive Johnson reeled off big run after big run, gashing the Jaguars up the middle and on the edge. Jacksonville had missed tackles, blown assignments and looks of confusion all around. “He’s a guy with the explosive ability to make you hurt for it,” coach Jack Del Rio said. The Jaguars were hardly

alone. Johnson finished with the season with 11 consecutive 100yard performances and became the sixth player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 yards rushing. “He’s he was pretty phenomenal,” Del Rio said. “It doesn’t really make me feel any better. He did it to a lot of people, but I don’t want to see him do it to us.” With teams stacking the line of scrimmage this season, Johnson has been somewhat less explosive. He has 485 yards rushing and six touchdowns, but was held under 60 yards twice — in both of the team’s losses. “No matter what I say, they’re going to try to do the same thing,” Johnson said. “They’re going to put all those guys in the box and try to stop us because they know we’re a running team, we like to run the ball.” All that extra attention can take a toll, too. Johnson was given a day off Thursday because of a sore thigh and was limited Saturday. He was listed as probable for the prime-

Bearettes host district tourney opener tonight SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Bearettes soccer team is the IMAC’s two-seed, and will open play tonight against the seventh-seeded Cocke County Lady Red at the Sevier County High School Soccer Complex. Coach Bobby Norwood’s Bearettes ended the regular season with a 3-2 win over South-Doyle in south Knoxville late Thursday night to finish 5-13-1 on the season. “It was a pretty intense game,” Norwood said. Sevier County started the game with a nice first half and led 2-0 at halftime. Alexis Conner scored the game’s first goal off a corner kick from teammate Kelsey Fisher. Haley Fox added an unassisted game later in the half to give SCHS a comfortable lead. In the second half the Bearettes added to their lead. “Alexis Conner got fouled at the top of the 18 and Kelsey Fisher stepped up and buried (the free kick) into the back of the net,” Norwood said. “That made it 3-0, and the game got pretty chippy after that.” Sevier County got two red cards, one a direct, and South-Doyle got one of their own over the final minutes of the game. The Bearettes allowed two goals in the final 20 minutes of the game, allowing the Lady Chiefs back into the game. “It’s pretty tough whenever they’ve got one more than you do,” Norwood said. Should the Bearettes win their game tonight, the SCHS girls will travel to Morristown Tuesday to continue IMAC Tournament action. n mpsports@themountainpress.com

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer Known for its everchanging, often outrageous uniforms and a point-a-minute offense, Oregon now has a new distinction: No. 1 team in the country. The Ducks climbed to the top spot for the first time Sunday, moving up one position during an off week after previously top-ranked Ohio State lost 31-18 at Wisconsin on Saturday night. Boise State also moved up one place to No. 2. Oklahoma jumped three spots to No. 3, passing No. 4 TCU. Auburn moved up

two spots to fifth, while the Buckeyes dropped to 11th. Oregon becomes the 43rd team to hold the No. 1 ranking in the AP media poll, which dates to 1936. The last time a team was No. 1 for the first time was almost 20 years ago to the day, when Virginia rose to No. 1 on Oct. 14, 1990. Ohio State’s loss came a week after then-No. 1 Alabama was beaten by South Carolina. Heisman Trophy contender LaMichael James and Oregon will try to avoid becoming the third straight No. 1 team to lose when it plays at home against UCLA on Thursday night.

time game. Jones-Drew is more beat up, even with his compact, 210pound frame. He has surpassed 100 yards just three times in the 14 games since his career day against the Titans, facing constant run blitzes and ending up as a mainstay on the team’s injury report because of knee, ankle and wrist injuries. He sprained his right wrist Sunday at Buffalo, rolling around in pain and eliciting concern from teammates and coaches. He missed practice Thursday and had his badly swollen hand heavily wrapped. But he returned in full Friday and was listed as probable. Nonetheless, the nagging injuries have some worried that his bruising running style might be detrimental to his long-term success. “I’m not 13 like when I first got into the league,” Jones-Drew said. “I’m 18 years old now, so I’m feeling the wear and tear from 13 to 18. It just happens. It’s part of the game.”

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Jamie McMurray’s career came full circle at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night, where he returned to Victory Lane eight years after grabbing his first win with the team that gave him a second chance. The celebration with his Chip Ganassi Racing team was more exuberant because of the circumstances surrounding the 2002 win. In his second race with Ganassi, as a replacement for injured Sterling Marlin, McMurray set a NASCAR record in winning so quickly. But the team had to hold back a bit on the party out of respect for Marlin, who had broken his neck in an accident two weeks ear-

lier. “When I won here in 2002, you’re in a situation where I don’t know any race car driver who wants someone else to get in their car and win,” McMurray said. “I knew that was hard on Sterling. As soon as I got into Victory Lane, I remember telling myself ‘Be very gracious and be respectful to Sterling because this is hard for him.’ He was home with a broken neck, you win with another team, this isn’t your team.” But the circumstances were far different this time around. Back with Ganassi and co-owner Felix Sabates after he was let go last season from Roush-Fenway Racing, McMurray has

grabbed wins at some of the biggest venues in NASCAR. He won the season-opening Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and now Charlotte. He’s made a full turnaround in his career, which seemed in jeopardy this time last year, with Ganassi, who has slowly rebuilt his program. “This is completely different because this team, and I talked to Chip about this today, about where his Cup organization was a year ago and where it is right now and the success that we’ve had,” McMurray said. “So (this win) is different circumstances. I feel this is my team, and it’s a team that has been put together over the past 11-12 months, and it’s mine.”

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger reveled in the cheers, shaking off the rust to look like a two-time Super Bowl winner. For the Browns, it was Steelers linebacker James Harrison who made the game’s biggest impact. Roethlisberger, cheered loudly during his first game in 9 1/2 months, returned from his four-game suspension to throw three touchdown passes, and the Steelers shut down a Browns offense that was depleted by Harrison hits during a 28-10 victory Sunday. With the Steelers (4-1) leading 7-3 but backed up to their own 4 late into the third quarter, Roethlisberger — flashing the big-play ability his team lacked without him — completed passes of 50 yards to Mike Wallace and 36 yards to Heath Miller on successive plays. Three plays later, Hines Ward fought through two potential tacklers on an 8-yard touchdown catch that made it 14-3. The Browns (1-5) never advanced inside the 20 until rookie Colt McCoy’s late 12-yard scoring pass to Ben Watson with Pittsburgh already up by 18 points. Roethlisberger was intercepted on Pittsburgh’s first drive, but came back to throw a 29-yard scoring pass to Mike Wallace early in the second quarter — the only touchdown for nearly 42 minutes. Roethlisberger also had a 14-yard touchdown pass to Heath Miller with 1:25 remaining after McCoy was intercepted for the second time. There were numerous firsts — Roethlisberger’s first game back, McCoy’s first career start — but a predictable result, the Steelers’ 13th win in their last 14 games against Cleveland. Roethlisberger was 16 of 27 for 257 yards, about 120 yards more passing than Pittsburgh averaged without him.

Lincecum outduels Halladay, S.F. Giants lead NLCS 1-0 By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

Atlanta Falcons corner back Dunta Robinson, right, and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, left, are helped after a hit during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, in Philadelphia.

Eagles snap Falcons’ 4-game win streak, 31-17 PHILADELPHIA — Jeremy Maclin made sure receiving partner DeSean Jackson wouldn’t be missed by the Philadelphia Eagles. After Jackson was sidelined in a brutal collision with Dunta Robinson, Maclin caught TD passes of 8 and 83 yards, leading Philadelphia to a 31-17 win over Atlanta, snapping the Falcons’ four-game winning streak. Kevin Kolb hit 23 of 29 passes for 326 yards replacing injured Michael Vick. The Eagles said Vick, serving as their third quarterback Sunday, had permission to not be on the sideline. Vick damaged rib cartilage two weeks ago and has not played since. Before he was sidelined by the hit to his helmet, Jackson was unstoppable. He gained 78 yards on three first-quarter touches, scoring on a 31-yard run and a 34-yard pass from Kolb for an early 14-0 edge. With Jackson out, Jorrick Calvin and Jeremy Maclin grabbed the spotlight.

Calvin, a rookie cornerback, returned a punt 44 yards to start a drive capped by Maclin’s 8-yard TD catch. Philadelphia (4-2) seemed headed for an even bigger first-half lead after Tony Gonzalez had a pass tip off his hands to cornerback Asante Samuel. The Eagles once more efficiently moved into Falcons territory and Kolb had Brent Celek wide open down the middle. But the pass was short and tipped twice before William Moore picked it off and made a weaving 34-yard return. Kolb used a horse-collar tackle to bring down Moore, adding 15 yards to the play, setting up Atlanta (4-2) at the Eagles 31. A pass interference call on Joselio Hanson helped set up Gonzalez’s 1-yard TD reception with 14 seconds left in the half, making it 21-7. Before that, the Eagles defense dominated a restrained Atlanta offense and several times forced Matt Ryan to throw away the ball before he was sacked. Still, Trent Cole had a big game for Philadelphia with two sacks, and Michael Turner was held to 45 yards rushing.

Brees throws 3 TDs, Saints rout Bucs 31-6 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The New Orleans Saints got some unexpected help in reviving a sputtering rushing attack around Drew Brees. Brees threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns Sunday, leading the Super Bowl champions to a 31-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints rebounded from a mistake-filled road loss that dumped them into third place in the NFC South, scoring on their first three possessions and getting an unexpected lift from

rookie running back Chris Ivory. Ivory rushed for 158 yards on 15 carries, stepping up in the absence of the injured Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. The Saints (4-2) amassed 475 yards total offense and weren’t forced to punt until early in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay (3-2) was held scoreless until Josh Freeman led a long fourth-quarter touchdown drive aided by a pair of personal foul penalties for a late hit on the second-year quarterback.

The Saints finished with 212 yards rushing. Julius Jones gained 32 yards on nine attempts in his New Orleans debut, and Ladell Betts had 20 yards on six carries. New Orleans committed four turnovers, including three interceptions, in a 30-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week.

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — There were no pep talks, no extended discussions after a meltdown by the Texas Rangers’ bullpen. Just quick redemption and the Rangers’ first postseason victory at home in the franchise’s 50 seasons. Neftali Feliz fired a final fastball and it was over. This was a lead Texas did not let slip away against the New York Yankees. A night after a bullpen debacle, Elvis Andrus got the Rangers off to a running start as they bolted out to another big lead, Colby Lewis pitched effectively into the sixth inning and five relievers made it stand in a 7-2 victory over the Yankees. The AL championship series is even at a game each. “That’s what they have

We took the whipping, we took a shower. ... I was going to give the ball back to those guys if it presented itself. It presented itself, they did a great job.

A lot of good things happened the last two days.� Texas has been in control except for that eighth inning in Game 1, when the defending World Series champion Yankees had a five-run outburst against five pitchers for a 6-5 victory even though CC Sabathia lasted only four innings.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — All those derisive whistles sounded like cheers to Tim Lincecum. The Freak outdueled Roy Halladay, Cody Ross hit a pair of solo homers and the San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 Saturday night in the NL championship series opener. In a mega-hyped matchup between marquee pitchers, neither starter came close to matching his sensational postseason debut last week. Both gave up homers to No. 8 hitters. “It was big, it sets the pace for the series,� Lincecum said. Halladay’s bid for a second straight no-hitter lasted until Ross connected with one out in the third. Lincecum, who tossed a two-hitter in the division series, gave up three runs on homers to Jayson Werth and Carlos Ruiz in seven innings. But Lincecum got the big outs when he needed them,

Johnson true entrepreneur in community The Dreamer replied, “I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated.” Kelly Johnson is the president of Sevier County’s Johnson Family of Restaurants. The company her father founded 20 years ago includes both Bennett’s BBQ, both Alamo Steakhouses, Mama’s Farmhouse, Mad Dog Creamery and their newest edition, Big Daddy’s Pizza in Sevierville. Young Kelly was born with an above average entrepreneurial spirit. She described herself while in high school in Miami as a “popular nerd.” So competitive, though, that one day while in the 10th grade, she and a classmate named Peter were discussing business schools for college. By reputation, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania came up in the conversation as the most prestigious business school. Peter told her, “No way will you ever get into that place.” From that moment on, Kelly knew where she was going to college. Peter moved away the next year, but Kelly did attend The Wharton School for Business, and every day until she graduated in 1997, she looked for Peter to see if he was able to get in. She never did find him. The entrepreneurial spirit is often difficult to define in any great detail because of its perception as a highly creative and dynamic thing. While the entrepreneurial spirit can be applied to a wide range of professionals, it is erroneously used to describe many successful business people. Actually, the facts are that very few persons demonstrate a true entrepreneurial spirit. After college, Kelly moved to New York City and became a buyer for Bloomingdale’s. While there, she met her future husband Jonathan Wimmer, an investment banker for Bear Stearns. Although they loved New York City, in the fall of 2000 they decided to quit their jobs and travel for as long as they could. On a campground and pup tent budget, they spent the next six months crossing America. Then, Kelly and Jonathan came to Sevier County to help her father, Bruce Johnson, open his second Alamo Restaurant. Once the steak house was open and operating, they hit the road again, returning later to officially join the family business. Right about the time her father was ready to start doing some traveling of his own, Kelly became president of the company, personally handling much of the marketing and advertising responsibilities, while Jonathan took over the operations. Always with an eye on the future, the Johnson Family of Restaurants again began to grow with the additions of Mama’s Farmhouse Restaurant and Mad Dog Creamery in Pigeon Forge. The newest addition is Big Daddy’s Pizza in Sevierville, which just opened on Aug. 18. They now have a total of seven food service establishments in Sevier County. Ironically, the word entrepreneur itself is French in origin and when interpreted in its literal context means “between jobs.” It is fascinating that a word which has come to project the very pinnacle of success is in reality a means of describing being unemployed. Nevertheless, Kelly Johnson understands that entrepreneurial spirit is really applied motivation. Nobody can tell you that you are an entrepreneur and no one can say, follow these procedures and you will be an entrepreneur. It is not possible major in “entrepreneurialism.” You can take classes on the subject, but a business degree is as close as you can get. Like Kelly, you have to find your own reason for choosing your path and then take responsibility for maintaining the passion necessary to get where you want to be. “The most important thing in life is to love what you’re doing, because that’s the only way you’ll ever be really good at it.” — Donald Trump — Henry Piarrot is a hotel manager in Sevier County.

Advice

Don’t give up on building friendships with co-workers

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: I’m 23 and work at an office at a medical university. I got out of therapy about a month ago and returned to my job, feeling better than ever. I’m taking antidepressants, and they’ve been working well. My co-workers are friendly, generous people, and we get along. The problem is that I have nothing in common with any of them. They are all women who are substantially older than I am and married with children. The general chitchat is totally out of my range of interests. This is OK during the regular workday, but when I’m invited to join them for lunch, I never want to go. Sometimes they insist and I agree, but I never have a good time. I rarely have anything to say, and when I do, I must struggle to make myself heard. And if I manage to speak, they stare at me. Even their sense of humor is different. My work and school schedules give me neither the time nor the money for more therapy. I’ve tried to find other friends, but most of them are school friends, so they are free when I’m busy and vice versa. What should I do? — Sad Outcast in El Paso Dear El Paso: The art of making friends is simply learning to make someone else feel special. You do this by being a good listener, making eye contact and asking her to talk about herself. Lunchtime conversation doesn’t need to be scintillating, nor does your participation require more than a smile and a nod. Your mere presence is a

sign of friendliness. You also could see if steering the conversation toward books, movies, TV, music or art will give you more common ground. Please don’t give up. Dear Annie: My husband and I are victims of a “home invasion.” My 60-year-old sister, one of 13 siblings, recently arrived at our house, unannounced, with her roommate and her large dog. (We have a cat.) They said they are touring the country visiting relatives and have no idea how long they will be staying. My sister and I have never been close, and I seldom see her. Her dog is terrorizing my cat, and she insists he be fed from a piece of our good china. As I speak, she is washing her sixth load of clothes in three days. When we go out to eat, they never offer to pick up a portion of the check, and when we’re at home, they never clean up. Our guest room is a mess, and we want them gone. I love my family, but how do we get rid of these freeloaders? Should we warn the next victims of this world tour or mind our own business? — Sleepless in St. Augustine, Fla. Dear Florida: When your sister showed up at your door, it would have been reasonable to ask how long she planned to stay. So ask

her now, making it clear that you’ve enjoyed her company, but you need a break from the noise and mess, and it’s time for her to visit someone else. And by all means, warn the next stop on the tour. Dear Annie: I’m writing about “Worried Mom in the Midwest,” whose 16-year-old was not interested in grades above D’s and C’s. I had the same problem with my son. He didn’t listen to all my begging and pleading, so I saw a psychologist, and then my son went with me. First, absolutely no driver’s permit until the grades were above a B. If the grades came down, the car could not be driven until the next report card came out. I had the counselor deliver this ultimatum, and we drew up a contract. He just finished his junior year and is on the honor roll and can’t wait to go to college. Expect them to behave, take away the things that mean the most, and show them you are the boss. — Didn’t Back Down in Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
