Local residents line up to take advantage of H1N1 vaccine By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer As soon as the Sevier County Health Department announced it would distribute the H1N1 vaccine from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, appointments filled up in no time. “We started making appointments on Tuesday and we were full by 1 p.m.,” said Jana Chambers, health department director. “We determined we had 330 doses, so there are 330 appointments. We’re able to give the vaccine to 30 people every 20 minutes.” According to the Centers for Disease Control, the federal government has purchased 250 million doses of 2009 H1N1 vaccine. “We don’t know when we’ll get the next shipment or how big it will be, but there is not going Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press to be any shortage,” Eighteen-month-old Faith Rose Debroicker Chambers said. “They’re waits for her shot with parents Lacey and David.

County receives $124,134 for traffic
SEVIERVILLE — Local and state officials say they’re pleased with the outcome of several incidents of questionable money handling by county employees. The state comptroller’s Department of Audit recently released a report updating some of the “cash shortages and other questionable activity” it found in reviewing financial documents from counties across the state. Sevier was one of 34 counties in the report, with three “These have definitely local incidents included. County leaders say all been resolved. I don’t three of those have already have any outstanding been handled, either interconcerns about these, nally or through the court and the state auditors system, and two have been have said we’re clear. paid back in full. The person involved in the third is Those situations have currently making restitubeen rectified.” tion. “These have definitely — County Mayor Larry been resolved,” County Waters Mayor Larry Waters said. “I don’t have any outstanding concerns about these, and the state auditors have said we’re clear. Those situations have been recti- fied.” The incidents involve employees working under the supervision of the county clerk, mayor and the general sessions court clerk. The report recounts a 2002-03 matter in which a former employee of the county clerk’s office apparently embezzled money while taking driver license registrations. “Sevier County’s audit for the 2002-03 year revealed a cash shortage of $16,835.93 in the office of county clerk,” the report reads. “This shortage resulted from improprieties involving automobile license renewal transactions that were processed by an employee at the office’s drive-through location.” That employee has since entered into a plea agreement to charges of theft and agreed to make monthly payments to clear the balance. That total amount has now been covered, the report states. The matter in the county executive’s office actually appears to have been something of a mix-up at the cash register. Auditors discovered the county had been charged $741 for a pair of water heaters. The Accounting Department, which the county mayor oversees, had paid that bill. The individual involved in that incident was apparently installing the appliances in apartments owned by another county employee. The units were the same as the kind used in the county’s jail and, the man claims, the folks at the store assumed he was buying them for the county and rang them up that way. The man has since repaid the $741 and no longer See AUDIT, Page A4
‘Beat Bama’ tailgaters support United Way
By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer The Governor’s Highway Safety Office is sending $124,134 to help local law enforcement agencies enhance their efforts to keep Sevier County roads safe. Sevierville Police Department, Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, Pittman Center Police Department and Pigeon Forge Police Department all received money from the state’s latest set of highway safety grants. SPD is getting $74,871 as part of a three-year grant to beef up its traffic enforcement. Those funds helped the department pay last year for a Dodge Charger it uses primarily for that purpose, as well as the officer who drives it. “What we’re doing with those monies is enhanced enforcement, mainly of serious traffic offenses,” See COUNTY, Page A4

Female jail inmate found hanged
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Jailers for the Knox County Sheriff’s Office have found a female inmate dead in a cell of an apparent suicide.

works for the county. It’s the final incident in which restitution in full is still in progress. “As of June 30, 2005, the office of General Sessions Court clerk had a cash shortage of $16,643.47,� the report reads. “This cash shortage resulted from office personnel’s failure to deposit or otherwise account for certain receipts and other deposit items that were not receipted. Therefore, it appears that these deposit items were substituted for receipts that had been property written but not
deposited.� A deputy clerk lost her job in the incident and has since taken a deal that requires her to make restitution of the full amount being indicted for theft. According to the report, the money must be paid in full by June 4, 2010. The woman has apparently begun making monthly payments to settle the debt, and the missing money hasn’t hurt the clerk’s office. Cocke County, which had one incident involving the former clerk and master there, was the only other one in this area with a finding detailed in the report.

Cartel crackdown nets indictments of 13 in Nashville
VACCINE
3From Page A1
By TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — A bust of a Nashville home in August that turned up nine kilograms of cocaine led to the indictments of 13 people who federal authorities believe are members of a Mexican drug cartel that has gained a substantial foothold the city’s drug trade. The Tennessee indictments announced Thursday are part of a nationwide crackdown on the La Familia cartel. More than 300 people in 38 cities have been arrested in what federal officials called the largest single strike against Mexican drug operations in the U.S. Eleven of the Nashville defendants have been arrested. In a criminal complaint against seven of them, Drug Enforcement Administration task force officer Andrew Green alleges that the Nashville operation was discovered after a major drug bust in Atlanta in 2007 that resulted in 36 arrested and the seizure of approximately $16 million and over 400 kilograms of cocaine. “Agents received information that co-conspirators of individuals who were arrested ... were establishing a new drug organization ... to replace the old ones,� Green wrote. After more than a year of surveillance, agents converged on a Nashville home on Aug. 14 where Marcos Arriaza Rios and Martin Martinez-Albez had just arrived in a Toyota Camry they had driven up from Atlanta. A search of the vehicle discovered hidden compartments that “contained nine similarly wrapped packages, each of which were the size of a kilogram of cocaine,� according to the complaint.
More than 300 arrested in raids across the nation WASHINGTON (AP) — In the largest single strike at Mexican drug operations in the U.S., federal officials on Thursday announced the arrests of more than 300 people in raids across the country aimed at the newest and most violent cartel. La Familia has earned a reputation for dominating the methamphetamine trade and displaying graphic violence, including beheadings. U.S. officials said the cartel has a vast network pumping drugs throughout the United States, specializing in methamphetamine. Attorney General Eric Holder pledged to keep hitting La Familia and the cartels responsible for a wave of bloodshed in Mexico. He said the U.S. would attack them at all levels, from the leadership to their supply chains reaching far into the United States. “To the extent that they do grow back, we have to work with our Mexican counterparts to cut off the heads of these snakes, to get at the heads of the cartels, indict them, try them, if they’re in Mexico, extradite them to the United States,� Holder said at a news conference. La Familia is based in the state of Michoacan, in southwestern Mexico. The Obama administration has directed more agents, resources and money to fight the cartel’s presence along the Mexico-U.S. border. But the arrests over the past two days occurred far beyond that region. “The problem is not just along the southwest border, it is all over our country now,� said Kenneth Melson, head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. In Dallas, 77 people were charged by a number of different federal and local law enforcement agencies.
just concentrating on the high priority groups right now.� High priority groups include pregnant women; people who live with or provide care for infants younger than 6 months; health care and emergency medical services personnel; people 6 months through 24 years of age; and people 25 years through 64 years of age who have certain medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications. “We’ve had people born before 1958 calling and insisting they’re high risk, but it’s actually children who are the highest risk,� Chambers said. The CDC states that studies show people 65 and older are the least likely to get sick with H1N1. Laboratory tests on blood samples indicate that older people likely have some pre-existing immunity to the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. David and Lacey Debruicker of Gatlinburg took their 18-month-old daughter, Faith Rose, to get the vaccine on Thursday. “I’ve never gotten a flu shot — I’m 27, and I fight it off pretty quickly,� David said. “But we heard the H1N1 shot was available, and we knew that she was at high risk for

said Bob Stahlke, public information officer for the city. The funds also help pay overtime for other officers when they need more traffic enforcement, and other costs. This year, they’ll help buy new radars and in-car computers for some patrol vehicles. The grant paid the full cost of the city’s traffic program in the first year, but the funds were reduced this year and will drop again next year, Stahlke said. “After that, we’re expected to continue that effort and fund it ourselves.� The sheriff’s office got $39,263 for a program to

The next shipment will likely go to private medical providers. The CDC reports there are some people who should not get any flu vaccine without first consulting their physician. This group includes people who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs; those who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination; and people who developed GuillainBarre syndrome within six weeks of getting an influenza vaccine previously. Brandy Danove of Kodak gets a flu shot every year. However, because of her children’s fear of needles, she has never required it of them — until this year. After the three of them received the vaccine, Danove led the way out, smiling. “They were so scared,� she said of Cierra, 14, and Christopher, 9. “But then they said, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’� n ebrown@themountainpress.com
reduce DUI and speeding violations in the county. Pigeon Forge and Pittman Center police departments received $5,000 each for high visibility law enforcement programs. The Governor’s Highway Safety Office works with local government agencies and private organizations to reduce wrecks on Tennessee roads. The grants are awarded based on problems in the area and statistical need. “Grants award by the GHSO are provided in areas of need,� GHSO Director Kendell Poole said. “Statistics show our problem areas and we strive to put the funding where it will be most effective.� n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Ole Miss seeks to silence ‘rising South’ chant at football games By SHELIA BYRD Associated Press Writer JACKSON, Miss. — The University of Mississippi has shortened one of its fight songs to discourage football fans from chanting “the South will rise again” during part of the tune, which critics say is an offensive reminder of the region’s intolerant past. However, some fans have continued to recite the chant at the end of the song, “From Dixie With Love,” despite the change made last week at the chancellor’s request. The Ole Miss band performs the medley before and after games. Earlier this month, the Ole Miss student government passed a resolution suggesting the chant be replaced by the phrase, “To hell with LSU.” Dan Jones, who became Ole Miss chancellor in July, said he asked the school’s band director, David Wilson, to modify the song to support the efforts of the Associated Student Body. He said he has received complaints from alumni that the slogan is offensive. “The fact is, the phrase ’The South Will Rise Again’ is not part of our tradition or spirit, and it is inconsistent with the university’s values and what Ole Miss stands for — a great public university with a focus on the future,” Jones said in a phone interview Thursday from the campus in Oxford. The modified version of the song ends abruptly before the chanting phase starts. It was first played Saturday

U.S. unveils broad effort to limit executives pay Editors: All figures as of: 5:32:14 PM EST
NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government unleashed efforts on two fronts Thursday to rein in outsized executive pay packages and limit the excessive risk-taking that fueled the financial crisis. The Treasury Department ordered seven big companies that haven’t repaid their government bailout money to cut their top executives’ average total compensation — salary and bonuses — in half, starting in November. Under the plan, cash salaries for the top 25 highest-paid executives will be limited to $500,000 and, in most cases, perks will be capped at $25,000. The Federal Reserve came at the issue from another direction. It proposed to monitor pay packages at thousands of banks — even those that never received bailout money — to ensure they don’t encourage reckless gambles. Neither plan, though,
is expected to kill Wall Street’s culture of lavish pay. The Fed proposal doesn’t set specific limits on executive compensation, so it’s unclear how it would actually affect pay. And the Treasury plan covers only 175 people, with the pay limits lasting only until the companies repay what they received from the $700 billion bailout fund.

at Ole Miss’s homecoming game against the University of Alabama at Birmingham, but that didn’t stop some fans from chanting. Brian Ferguson, 26, head of the Colonel Reb Foundation, said he views the university actions as an attempt to silence students. “I think it’s a big to-do about nothing. There were very few people other than the students who knew to say it,” said Ferguson, whose organization works to preserve traditions at Ole Miss. But Ferguson agreed that the chant really isn’t a tradition. “If the students get fired up and upset enough about it, they’re going to continue to

say it. Our biggest fear is that that’s going to lead them to eliminate ’From Dixie With Love,’ altogether.” The song blends the Confederate Army’s fight song, “Dixie,” with the Union Army’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” according to Peter K. Frost, a visiting professor of history and international studies at Ole Miss. The school has worked to erase its image as a bastion of the Old South, which was solidified in 1962 when James Meredith’s admission as the first black student led to a bloody standoff. The university six years ago decided not to have an on-field mascot during
sporting events, getting rid of the long-standing Colonel Rebel, a white-haired old man who carries a cane and resembles a plantation owner. At the time, school officials had said they needed a more athletic-looking mascot. The teams are still called the Rebels. Sophomore Cortez Moss, director of communications for the ASB, said the organization is trying to explain to students why the phrase is offensive. “You take back on that slave mentality,” said Moss, who is black. “I know the South won’t rise again and the South can’t rise again.”

Frist unveils his education plan NASHVILLE (AP) — Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist on Thursday released a plan he said could boost Tennessee’s primary education system to the best in the Southeast within five years. Frist founded the State Collaborative on Reforming Education, or SCORE, after deciding against running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The group’s report includes recommendations for Tennessee to embrace higher standards, cultivate strong leaders, promote
better teachers and use data to enhance student learning. “This is a living document in the sense that we put forth a timeline with very specific responsibilities,” Frist said at a press conference at the state Capitol. Frist said many of his goals can be met without major new funding during the current economic downturn. “We’ve got to keep that state budget where it is,” Frist said. “We’re going after things that are doable: The teachers, the standards,
the principals — the CEOs of schools.” Nashville Mayor Karl Dean said he had scheduled a meeting with metro schools officials to work on changing the way teachers are evaluated and paid. Dean said his goals include increasing both the responsibilities and pay for the most effective teachers. Frist acknowledged it won’t be easy to change current structures of teacher tenure and compensation. “How to reward a teacher and lift them up if they’re
working twice as hard and they’re committed to it and their kids are doing well?” he said. “I’m not smart enough for that.” Frist said he would defer to lawmakers and mayors. “I’d like every mayor in the state to sit down and address that issue,” he said. “Are we rewarding people on the front line who are clearly the most important people?” House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner said the SCORE report signals the beginning of a process.

commentary
History is on the side of reform Sen. Olympia Snowe said last week that in the end, which is near, she may or may not vote for health care reform. But she will, judging by her last comment as the Senate Finance Committee voted out a bill: “When history calls, history calls.” That certainly is one of the wisest quotes to come out of this Congress this year, particularly from the Republican side. The not-so-loyal opposition has been answering all questions with a single answer, “No.” The Republican theory seems to be that their job is to destroy the president of the United States — and to do it before next year’s midterm elections. History might judge that as harshly as some Republican elder statesmen have. Former Sen. Robert Dole, once chairman of the Republican National Committee, a partisan who voted against Medicare in 1965, but not a fool, put it this way the other day: “Republicans all stand up and say they’re for health care reforms, so why don’t they do something about it? ... I don’t believe they could absorb just across-the-board being against everything.” Dole may be out of touch with the party he loves, but he is more in touch with the feel of history. It has taken almost a century, but the people of the United States seem to realize that something has to be done about a dysfunctional system. I assume that is what Snowe and Dole were talking about: If it’s broken, there does come a day when you do have to try to fix it. Howard Dean, the current chairman of the Democratic Party, offered his own interpretation of history last month saying: “All the really great programs in American history -- Social Security was done without Republicans; Medicare was done without Republican support until the last vote, where they realized they had to get on board. So a lot of the things that have been done that have helped seniors in particular have been done without Republican support at all.” That is an exaggeration. During the great Social Security debate of 1935 and the Medicare debate of 1965, a majority of Republicans argued against the legislation — even though national health care was first proposed by a party hero, Theodore Roosevelt — but there were many Republicans for those bills from the beginning. Not a majority of Republicans, but many. Perhaps they felt the breath of history. But Dean’s hyperbole points to a revealing bit of history. There were many moderates and even some liberals representing the Republican Party in those days. Today there are almost none, except perhaps in Maine, the home state of Sen. Snowe. Republicans representing hyperconservative states and districts, mostly in the South and Southwest, are probably not going to be punished for doing what a young conservative, William F. Buckley, advocated in 1955: “Stand athwart history, yelling Stop ...” That was part of the mission statement of Buckley’s new magazine, National Review. Well, Buckley could not stop history, but he did affect it in many ways. That is, I think, where we are going now. Once having declared, as Dole noted, that health care reform is now necessary, it is hard to see all Republicans yelling, “Stop.” What they are yelling now is “socialism.” But history has seen that before. In 1965, when a majority of Republicans did vote against Medicare, Sen. Carl Curtis of Nebraska said: “This is not public welfare. It is not charity. It is not kindness. It is socialism. ... It is brazen socialism.” Within weeks, it was also law, and few elderly Americans would argue that it is bad law. Primarily because of Medicare, the number of Americans over 65 living below the poverty level has dropped from 28.5 percent to 9.7 percent. Socialism or not, history is pushing health care reform into law. It will not be 100 percent of what President Obama wanted. It will be a compromise bill with some Republican input -- and it will be added to and expanded over the years. For now, on passage, Obama will say something historic, similar to what Franklin Roosevelt said in 1935: “We can never insure 100 percent of the population against 100 percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life. But we have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and to his family against the loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age.” — 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
Working better together Arrowmont-Pi Beta Phi partnership improves, but both sides must ensure their futures There are some positive signs that point to Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts remaining in Gatlinburg. The school’s relationship with Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women, owner of the land on which Arrowmont sits, has greatly improved. The fraternity has named a study committee to examine the relationship, plus Arrowmont’s historic significance and the future of the school. The city of Gatlinburg expressed its strong support for Arrowmont over the summer and its desire to keep it in the heart of the city. Maybe best of all, the grand council of Pi Beta Phi, which in 2008 was trying to sell the land right out from under Arrowmont, is gone, replaced by a group of women that seems much more understanding and sympathetic to the famed arts and crafts school. So why no champagne corks popping? Because nothing is certain in life or Arrowmont’s future. The school, unwilling to leave its existence in the hands of other people, is doing its own feasibility study, commissioning a Chattanooga firm to study three proposals from East Tennessee entities interested in attracting Arrowmont from downtown Gatlinburg. While Arrowmont and Pi Beta Phi negotiate
an extension on the lease that expires in 2011, that extension no more guarantees Arrowmont will stay put than a coach’s contract ensures he’ll be around for the life of the agreement. Arrowmont has a special place in the history of both Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. An area that prides itself on its arts and crafts can point to Arrowmont as the place greatness lives and thrives. However, Arrowmont brings prestige but very little in terms of revenue to Gatlinburg, Those who come here to take classes usually stay on the campus and rarely venture out into the town. The 70-plus acres on which Arrowmont sits are prime real estate to developers who see the potential in doing something on the land that makes money. Thought of in those simple, capitalistic terms, Arrowmont is not significant. But that’s only part of the story. Gatlinburg, as the Gateway to the Smokies, needs to be more than just curio shops, amusement attractions and views of the mountains. It needs to embrace a heritage, a history, that invites visitors who want to see more than just what’s on the Parkway. Of course Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for
Women is sitting on a multimillion dollar money machine with the property, and the temptation to sell it and use the proceeds for things the group believes in is an option that won’t go away, no matter how long the lease lasts. Developers approached the grand council last year, not the other way around. The whole thing was mishandled, to be sure, but the idea of selling won’t go away. Arrowmont must protect itself against the unknown and the always changing make-up of the leaseholder. It is only right that the school entertain and consider any serious offers to lure it away. Both sides have interests and legacies to protect. The difference now, it appears, is that Pi Beta Phi is no longer the enemy working in secret to sell an asset at the expense of a treasure. That is progress everybody can live with. Arrowmont gets is feasibility study in January. At that time the board will have a better idea of what it can and should do. The Gatlinburg study committee from the fraternity will report late next year. Looks like 2010 is shaping up to be the pivotal year for Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts.
Political view
Public forum Not enough thought, debate went into new vote method
Editor: I cannot believe The Mountain Press is giving the County Commission a pass again. The paper did not have an editorial on the issue as usual until after the vote and now it justifies what the Commission did. Has the paper done any independent research? What counties have district seats and what percentage of their commissioners are challenged? What is the turnover percentage in all counties? How much money is spent by incumbents and challengers in both types of elections? And so on.
Has it shown that more candidates are running for office so we have a real choice? We have several commissioners who have 30 to 40 years in office now. Will this now become the norm? I am not saying that this is a good or bad move by the commissioners, but ask yourself, why change something if it is not in your best interest? Are we to be so naive to believe the majority of commissioners did this for us? This is not a vote on rezoning or flood insurance, but how they are elected. Should not the citizens have a voice by a referendum vote? This same issue was defeated last year in full commission and again last month in the
Steering Committee, but in Sevier County there is no rule against keep bringing an issue up again and again, like the Lisega issue, until it passes. They were seven no votes, but absolutely no debate on the issue. Why did the seven commissioners vote against this? Why did 16 commissioners vote for it? Apparently everything is debated elsewhere out of the public forum, or worse; there never is any debate on the issues and our commissioners are yes men. I noted the only woman on the commission, Judy Godfrey, voted against this motion. Arnold Collins Kodak

District 3A-AA soccer champs Lady Tigers stomp Gibbs for the title By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — Fans watching the Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers win their first championship in the newly-formed District 3A-AA wouldn’t have believed the team tied the same Gibbs opponent 0-0 in the regular season. Thursday night the girls found the goal early and often en route to a 6-0 stomping of the runner-up Eagles in the title match. “I pushed these girls pretty hard, and they responded,” coach Billy Mosely said following the game. “(In the regular season match) we struggled some on finishing shots, and I don’t think we did that tonight. We were finishing shots, we were pressuring the goalie, and we put the ball in the back of the net, and that’s what Jason Davis/The Mountain Press needs to be done.” The Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers pose with their championship plaque following a 6-0 rout of runner-up Gibbs. Despite the Just 5:08 into the con- large margin of victory, the two teams had played to a 0-0 tie in the regular season. Pigeon Forge now heads into regional play, where they’ll host the loser of CAK/Kingston on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. See CHAMPIONS, Page A10

Eagles drop Chiefs, secure playoff spot By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Seymour senior running back Blake Overton (6) was a human highlight film Thursday night, as he scored a TD rushing, receiving and returning a punt.
SEYMOUR — For one drive it looked like the Cherokee Chiefs might give the Seymour Eagles all they wanted Thursday night at Benton Householder Field. About 48 minutes and 44 points later, the Eagles had erased all memory of the early Cherokee lead, blowing out the Chiefs 44-6. The win cliched playoff eligibility for Seymour, as they Eagles’ have now guaranteed a spot among District 2-AAA’s top three 5A schools. The Chiefs scared some Seymour fans early, scoring a TD just 1:25 into the game by using a double-pass from QB Hunter Hamilton to wide receiver Ty Ryans to receiver Landon House for an untouched 43-yard score. But the Eagles weren’t
impressed, and it showed. Over the next 48 minutes of the game, the Eagles were never in danger of giving up another point to Cherokee, and their offense scored points in bunches. Kicker Stephen Martin got the team on the board first with a 29-yard field goal on the Eagles’ first drive of the game. In the second quarter a big defensive play sparked the Eagles’ next score. Junior Lee Knight blocked a Chiefs’ punt and recovered it just five yards’ from their end zone. One play later Seymour senior running back Keegan Newport plunged in on a five-yard run, and after the point after, the score stood at 10-6. After a Cherokee turnover on downs in Seymour territory, the Eagles used a seven-play drive, fueled by a first down catch from See EAGLES, Page A10

Lady Eagles fall in title match, season still alive By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Seymour Lady Eagles had a shot at the District 2-AAA Tournament championship Thursday night against the South-Doyle Lady Cherokees, but they forgot to show up for the 2-0 loss at the Sevier County High School Soccer Complex. “We just didn’t come to play tonight,” said first-year Seymour soccer coach Drew Payne, following the disappointing loss. “Not at all.” By the end of the contest, the No.3-seeded Lady Eagles were outshot by the No.1-
seeded Lady Cherokees by just a margin of 12-10, but that statistic is misleading. South-Doyle was the more determined squad and dominated the possession, tempo and physicality of the affair for most of the night just two days after Seymour looked like a well-oiled machine against Jefferson County. “To be honest, we were probably lucky to get away with it being just 2-0 the way we played,” said Payne. The Lady Eagles hope to rebound next Tuesday in the region semi-finals ... opponent, location and time TBA. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

PREP COMMENTARY AND PREDICTIONS
G-P takes a step toward playoffs tonight, SC stays unbeaten
Sevier County hosts South-Doyle The Sevier County Smoky Bears on the verge of cementing themselves as a team of the ages for their school. Two more wins and the Bears will be the school’s first undefeated regular season team in recent memory (maybe ever). While Morristown East is probably the biggest bump in the road on the way there, any coach will tell you, the biggest game is the next one, and that’s tonight against South-Doyle. The Cherokees are 0-8 so far this season, and haven’t looked too good. The team has scored less than five points per game

while giving up nearly 25, and they’ve been shutout four times. They were most recently shutout by Seymour 35-0 and the week before they lost to lowly Cocke County 12-6. No matter how flat the Bears play, I don’t see them losing this one. And, with history in sight, I think the Purple and White will be really focused. Look out for a lopsided result. — Smoky Bears win 45-7.
Pigeon Forge at Austin-East
I believe Pigeon Forge is a team on the rebound. They’ve accomplished a lot this year, and I geniunely believe, with time, they’ll be a good team, able to readily compete in District 3-AA.
This week, however, they’re playing the district’s elite — Austin-East. The Roadrunners have already beaten the top two other teams in the conference, G-P and Fulton, and, while they are beatable, I don’t see it any upsets in this matchup. — Roadrunners win 41-7.
Gatlinburg-Pittman at Carter
The Highlanders lost a heartbreaker in some of the worst game field conditions ever last week to AustinEast 14-7, effectively making this week’s game with Carter the game of the year for G-P. Should the Highlanders win tonight, and then take care of business against county-rival Pigeon Forge next week, they’ll be playoff- eligible according to the TSSAA. On the other hand, if they lose to Carter, G-P will have to rely on their chances of getting a wildcard spot, and
who knows how that works? The easiest way for the Highlanders to not have to worry about the playoff picture is to go out and win tonight against the Hornets. And that’s exactly what I think G-P will do. Carter is a good team, with a couple of really good athletes, but against common opponents the Hornets haven’t played nearly as well as the Highlanders.

SCHS can’t underestimate Cherokees By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Coach Steve Brewer and the state’s 5th-ranked 6A Smoky Bears will return home to Burchfield Stadium tonight for another step in their quest for an undefeated regular season. Standing in the Bears’ way will be District 2-AAA foe South-Doyle, a team that’s hungry for a win. And while the Cherokees are 0-8 on the season, Brewer said they’re not a team to underestimate. “South-Doyle’s defense is ranked third in the conference,” Brewer, whose
Bears rank second in the league, said. “They play pretty doggone good defense. When you’ve got the third-best defense in the conference — they’re only giving up 230-something yards a game — that gives them a chance.” In addition, Brewer said the team has competed with their opponents for at least a half in almost every ballgame, and they just need some breaks to fall their way to spell trouble for Sevier County. “They’ve competed in just about every one of their ballgames — some of them for a half, some of them for a full four quar-
ters,” Brewer said. “I think they’re a team that’s just looking for a couple of breaks, and when you’re playing a team that is looking for a couple of breaks and they get them, they become a handful.” While Brewer said that’s possible, it’s not what he expects from his team. “I’m hoping that that won’t happen tomorrow. I hope we’ll come out and take care of business and play the way we’re capable of, and not open a door for them to come charging through. “If they get (breaks), it’s just like pouring gas on a fire,” he continued. “And
we’ve been in a couple of situations this year where we’ve seen momentum swing the other way, and it’s hard to get back. “So hopefully we’ve learned that lesson, and we won’t have to learn it tomorrow. I want to see our guys just come out and take care of business. We need to play like a team that’s hungry to be 9-and-0.” Fans of the SCHS team have only two more chances this regular season to see their Smoky Bears at home. Tonight’s game begins at 7:30 and a big turnout is expected. mpsports@themountainpress.com
MLB POSTSEASON
Angels answer Yankees’ rally, extend ALCS By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer
ANAHEIM — Kendry Morales drove in the goahead run with a twoout single in the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels responded to the Yankees’ six-run rally moments earlier for a 7-6 win Thursday night that trimmed New York’s lead in the AL championship series to 3-2. Vladimir Guerrero’s single tied it in the seventh for the Angels, who somehow didn’t surrender after blowing a 4-0 lead moments earlier. New York struck immediately after manager Mike Scioscia removed ace John Lackey. The Game 5 theatrics continued right up to the final pitch, when Angels closer Brian Fuentes retired Nick Swisher on a full-count popup with the bases loaded. Game 6 is Saturday night Jae C. Hong/AP at Yankee Stadium, with Angels Torii Hunter hits a two-run single during the first inning of Game Andy Pettitte facing Los 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees on Thursday in Anaheim, Calif. Angeles’ Joe Saunders.

test the girls in Orange and Black were already up 2-0 thanks to Autumn Wilkinson. Wilkinson scored the team’s first goal just 98 seconds into the game as she dribbled past a bewildered Gibbs’ defense and shot past the keeper. Three and a half minutes later she found the goal again, this time from much further out. “It was a long shot, from outside the 18,” assistant coach Carrie Rudder said. “It was a very nice shot.” From their the Lady Tigers had it made. Behind a defense that only allowed two shots the entire game, neither of which found it past senior keeper Megan Kelly, the Lady Tigers excelled. At the 7:07 mark of the first half, fellow senior Cheyenne Montgomery scored on another long shot to make the tally 3-0. By halftime the team was up 4-0, thanks to a goal from another senior — Kayla

Corey Clark and a 15-yard scamper from Blake Overton, the Blue and Gold found paydirt again. This time it was Overton running into the end zone from 19 yards out for the score to make it 17-6 after the PAT. In the third quarter things got ugly for the Chiefs. Seymour put up 20 points in a matter of minutes to start the half. Keegan Newport scored his second TD of the night on a 1-yard plunge, and following a Cherokee punt less than two minutes later, the team went right down the field and scored again. This time the drive was led by a 35-yard Overton run and a 14-yard dash from sophomore Corey Todd, who got the 3-yard TD one play later. Still later in the third, second team quarterback Ryan Chadwick burned the Chiefs’
Oulette — who rebounded a Montgomery shot into the twine. In the second half Lady Tigers Aricia Kramer and Dani Montgomery got into the action, as both scored goals early on to put the score at it’s final 6-0 margin. Now it’s on to the region for Pigeon Forge. “Our girls are really excited about next week in the region,” Mosely said. “We host the first round of the region here Tuesday at 4:30.” Always proud of his players, the coach piled some praise onto his assistants. “Coach Carrie Rudder always being there as my assistant coach to help, and also I’ve got to thank Norman Wilson for coming out and helping this season, and Dwight Wilkinson. I’d like to thank those three personally, they mean a lot to the program.” The win marks several consecutive district titles for Pigeon Forge, according to Mosely, who couldn’t remember the exact total, which dates back to the middle part of the decade. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Early in the fourth quarter he took a Cherokee punt to the house for his third score of the game, a fitting total for a 12th grader on Senior Night. That score got the game clock running with a lead of more than 35 points, and the Eagles’ cruised to the 44-6 win. The defense played a big role all night, as the defense line and linebacker corps came up with multiple tackles in the Cherokee backfield. Chase Ketron also had a first quarter interception in the contest. The team will play its final game of the regular season at Morristown West next Friday. mpsports@themountainpress.com

G-P football Highlanders anxious to overcome loss By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders football team saw their dream of an undefeated season slip away from them after last Friday’s 14-7 loss to District 3-AA rival Austin-East Roadrunners, and they aren’t too happy about it. “Our boys are kindly of the attitude that they’re mad about that loss,” said 38th-year G-P head football coach Benny Hammonds on Thursday. “They feel like they had the opportunity to win it and let it slip away. “It aggravates the heck out of them, because they had the goal of going undefeated.” After defeating Gibbs and Fulton on the road, the highest hurdle remaining between the Highlanders (7-1 overall, 3-1 District 3-AA) and that perfect season was last week’s home game against A-E. And for a few fleeting moments, G-P looked destined to come away with a
7-6 win after scoring a late TD and connecting on an extra-point kick to take the one-point lead with just 8:05 remaining in a slopfest played on an extremely muddy Hammonds Field. But the Roadrunners proved they could run through mud too when Sheldon Wade returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for the game’s final score. Upset that their perfect season had suddenly come to such a disappointing end, the senior members of the Blueand-Gold squad approached Hammonds early this week with a request ... for a little more playing time, despite many of them already playing ironman football. “On our special teams, we use a lot of the younger kids who are good athletes to give them some good experience,” said Hammonds. “And because we have a lot of (seniors) who go both ways, we try to give them a little break on some of the special teams action. “But the seniors came to me and asked to be part of the kickoff team. They want
on it, because they want to make it as strong as they can ... to not allow a return (like A-E had) again.” Hammonds appreciated the boys for coming to him with the request and gladly granted it to them. G-P has spent a lot of time this week preparing its special teams squad to face the speed that the Carter Green Hornets (4-5 overall, 2-3 District 3-AA) possess, and which the Highlanders will have stop in order to get back on the winning track when the Blue and Gold travel to the District 3-AA rival 7:30 Jason Davis/The Mountain Press p.m. tonight. Playing conditions were difficult to say the least last week when AustinEast visited Gatlinburg-Pittman for a District 3-AA showdown.

better,” the coach said. Helping that confidence is a series of goals the team met in last week’s win over Union. “We accomplished three goals last week: Winning a district game, back-to-back games and getting to .500 for the season,” Hammonds said. Also feeding the team’s fire is a shot at making the playoffs, which the coach said several outlets have said remains a possibility. “I hope that gives us some more motivation and determination to come out and perform tomorrow night to keep our play hopes alive,” Hammonds said.

SEC GRIDIRON
Former Vols coach Majors motivates team for â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bama By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer
KNOXVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new coaching staff canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recite the history of the Volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual matchup with their biggest rival. So the coaches turned to someone this week who could: former Tennessee tailback and coach Johnny Majors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a guy who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coached for a while, he still can grasp an 18-yearoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. We love having him around. He does an unbelievable job motivating the guys,â&#x20AC;? coach Lane Kiffin said. Majors spoke to the team during Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice, telling stories of games past from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third Saturday in Octoberâ&#x20AC;? rivalry between Alabama (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) and Tennessee (3-3, 1-2). He coached 16 of those games with a 4-12 record. Two of those losses came while the Crimson Tide was ranked No. 1, as it is now. Majors chose instead to share memories of beating Alabama as a player 20-0 in his junior season in 1955 and again 24-0 in his senior season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His first year, losing to Alabama, they throw three interceptions. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coaching change, and then the next two years they beat Alabama,â&#x20AC;? Kiffin said. Kiffin would love to join then-coach Bowden Wyatt as another firstyear coach to win his first game in the bitter rivalry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously huge. I learned that in the offseason. As you go out and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speaking and meeting people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to so many people around here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FOR KICKS: Tennessee has to improve its special teams game for a shot at beating Alabama, said wide receiver and former kickoff and punt returns
specialist Gerald Jones. The Vols rank in the lower half of both return categories in the SEC while averaging 8.4 yards per punt return and 21.8 per kickoff return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better at that,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to do what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing all year this weekend to beat this team.â&#x20AC;? The junior said he expects cornerback Dennis Rogan to spend some extra time at punt returner on Saturday in place of freshman Nuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keese Richardson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handled all but one punt return this season. Richardson has muffed some returns and sometimes nearly turned the ball over, while having a few solid returns. Jones also thinks the Vols can take advantage of some weaknesses in the Crimson Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very fortunate to have two weeks to focus on them special teamswise, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to throw some different things at them and try to get one to the house,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; INJURY REPORT: Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin has rested a number of banged-up players in the two weeks since the Volunteers last played. On Wednesday, he sat senior defensive tackle Dan Williams and junior defensive end Gerald Williams for a while but said he anticipated both would play Saturday against Alabama. Sophomore cornerback Art Evans was also limited, and whether he will play will be a gametime decision, Kiffin said. Senior Marsalous Johnson would play in his place. Also questionable is senior wide receiver Quintin Hancock, who suffered a mild ankle sprain in the Georgia game. Though Hancock has not practiced since,
Kiffin said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienced enough to play in a game without practicing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anybody could miss a full week and be able to (play), it would be him,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ORANGE SLICES: Safety Eric Berry is among the 20 quarterfinalists for the annual Lott Trophy, which honors on-field performance and personal character of defensive players. Berry was a semifinalist last season and leads the 2009 Vols with five pass breakups, seven special teams tackles and 46 fumble return yards. He also ranks second on the team with 50 tackles Wade Payne/AP file and 4 1/2 tackles for a loss. ...

Lil Wayne doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat rap in court
Review: Cheers to Wendtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Drinking With Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER Associated Press Writer
Pop superstar pleads to attempted gun possession; expects to get year in jail By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press Writer NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lil Wayne, who owned last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestselling album and is currently No. 1 on the pop charts, pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence. The performer, arguably rapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular artist and one of popâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest acts, previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in jail upon conviction. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing. The somber-looking rapper did not speak as he left the courthouse with members of his entourage, who piled into four SUVs. Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007. The rapper, born Dwayne Carter, won last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best rap solo performance Grammy for â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Milli.â&#x20AC;? His albums include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tha Carter,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tha Carter IIâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tha Carter III.â&#x20AC;? His trial had been due to
start Jan. 20. The judge had been holding a hearing on a debated DNA profiling technique used to tie the rapper to the gun. Lil Wayne, 27, also is scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, which arose from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint. In New York, he politely answered the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard questions with â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes, Sirâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;no, Sirâ&#x20AC;? as he entered his plea to seconddegree attempted weapon possession, a felony. He acknowledged he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on bus. When the judge warned that he would not be able to withdraw the plea as some people try to do, the rapper said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of those people.â&#x20AC;? Prosecutors said small amounts of DNA found on the loaded weapon connected it to the platinum-selling artist. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said the gun wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Lil Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and the testing technique was too problematic to prove otherwise.
Associated Press
Rapper Lil Wayne enters Manhattan criminal court this week in New York for a hearing on a DNA profiling technique used in the rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 gun-possession case. Police pulled over Lil Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour bus in Columbus Circle on July 22, 2007. They said they had seen and smelled marijuana smoke wafting out the door before the bus left a concert venue minutes earlier. Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun. The defense disputed offi-
cersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basis for searching the bus and noted that more than a dozen other people were aboard. Over the past two years Lil Wayne has not only emerged as the best-selling figure in rap but in all music. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tha Carter IIIâ&#x20AC;? topped all album sales in 2008 with 2.8 million copies sold off of hits like the No. 1 smash like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lollipop.â&#x20AC;?

Retrial ordered in Travolta extortion case By JUAN McCARTNEY Associated Press Writer NASSAU, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge has ordered a mistrial in the case of an alleged extortion attempt against John Travolta and a top court official said Thursday a new trial is not likely to start before next year. Senior Justice Anita Allen said Wednesday night she was reluctantly ordering a new trial because a politician announced that one of the defendants would be freed, giving the appearance of an improper leak from the jury room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dilemma that we face is great,â&#x20AC;? Allen said in court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am erring on the side of caution. Justice must be transparent.â&#x20AC;? Bahamas chief magistrate Roger Gomez said that the new trial is not likely to start until early 2010 because the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar is full through the rest of this year. Ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and his attorney, politician Pleasant Bridgewater, were accused of demanding $25 million from Travolta to keep them from releasing private information about the death of Travoltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16-yearold son Jett at the family vacation home in Grand Bahama on Jan. 2. They denied the allegations. Bridgewater resigned her seat in the Bahamas Senate after she was charged in the case. Jurors were still
Court hearing postponed for reality winner
BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A court hearing for a winner of the reality TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;? on drug charges has been postponed. Adam Jasinskiis charged with attempting to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills. He was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Boston on Thursday, but his detention hearing has been postponed until Oct. 30. Jasinski was arrested in North Reading, Mass., last weekend after he allegedly showed a government witness two plastic bags filled with oxycodone. Jasinski won $500,000 on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brother 9â&#x20AC;? in April 2008. A federal drug agent says the 31-year-old told him that he had been using his winnings on the CBS reality show to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them along the East Coast.
deliberating when lawmaker Picewell Forbes announced to an audience at a Progressive Liberal Party convention that party member Bridgewater would be cleared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pleasant is a free woman, PLPs! God is good, PLPs! Pleasant is a free woman!â&#x20AC;? Forbes said, prompting cheers and an outburst of song from the crowd. Soon after, Alex Storr, the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy chairman-elect, said Forbes had misspoken. He said the information was incorrect and no verdict had been issued. He apologized on behalf of the party. But the judge said that Forbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comment gave her no choice but to dismiss the jurors. The jury, which deliberated about nine hours, had spent a month listening to testimony including from Travolta, who flew to the Bahamas to take the stand. Michael Ossi, one of the actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys, said his client would cooperate in any way possible and testify again if necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committed to seeing this through, and we are committed to seeing justice served,â&#x20AC;? Ossi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And whatever the prosecution asks us to do is exactly what we will do.â&#x20AC;? Lawyers for the defendants told the nine-member jury that their clients were set up by lawyers for Travolta. They also said authorities misinterpreted their actions.
The alleged plot centered on a document that would have released emergency responders from liability if the family refused an ambulance ride to the hospital for Jett, who suffered a deadly seizure. Travolta said he signed
Florida for treatment. But he later changed his mind, and the document did not come into play. The actor testified that Lightbourne threatened to sell stories to the media suggesting that he was at fault in his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The flame for the Vancouver Olympics was lit by the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays in an ancient ceremony Thursday, heralding the start of the torch relay for the 2010 Winter Games. The sun shone just enough over the fallen temples at the birthplace of the ancient Olympics for a Greek actress in a pagan priestessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; white gown and sandals to focus its rays on a silver torch using a concave mirror. The flame will burn at the Feb. 12-28 Vancouver Games, following a torch relay across Canada and a shorter run in Greece.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A liquid propane tanker has exploded on an Indianapolis highway ramp, closing Interstates 69 and 465. Lawrence Township Fire Marshal Dick Groves says the â&#x20AC;&#x153;humungousâ&#x20AC;? explosion happened Thursday on a ramp from I-69 to I-465 on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northeast side. He says the fireball could be seen and the heat felt from two miles away. Groves says the truck driver was taken to a hospital with burns that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear life threatening and at least one other driver was taken to a hospital. Groves says the truck rolled, with the cab and tanker separating and catching fire underneath I-465.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police in Philadelphia say a homeless man sleeping in a trash bin wound up in the back of a garbage truck and was killed by the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compactor. Investigators say the truck collected the contents of the trash bin at about 4 a.m. Wednesday in North Philadelphia. The truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver activated the compactor a little later. Police say the driver told officers he thought he heard someone say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yo! Yo! Yo!â&#x20AC;? but did not know where the voice was coming from. He heard the cry again, fainter, at his next stop and alerted authorities. Emergency personnel declared the man dead at

Guilty plea in motorized La-Z-Boy DUI
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the
northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers. Prosecutors say Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured. Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders. Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson.

Paul Willis, right, watches as a student at Walters State Community College tries her hand at shucking oysters.
School of fish SEVIERVILLE — Three stainless steel tables held the fresh, gutted carcasses of everything from shrimp and oysters to a black tip shark. They were rolled into the room where wide eyes and curious minds waited to learn. It was a hands-on lesson for students and curious faculty and staff at Walters State Community College this week as they were introduced to a variety of seafood during a special class in the Rel Maples Institute for Culinary Arts’ demonstration kitchen. Paul Willis, owner of Shrimp Dock on Highway 66 in Sevierville, made a special delivery to the school after his weekly fishing trip to the Louisiana Gulf Coast to give the students tips on choosing seafood for a restaurant, in what forms to buy and what to do with once they get it. Culinary arts instructor Joe Cairns said the lesson came about after he called Willis to set up a purchase of fish for the school’s cooking classes. Both are from Louisiana and in the food service industry; they found they had a lot in common and Cairns wondered if they could set up a demonstration for students at the restaurant. Cairns said the plan worked better if Willis and his market manager Jeff Marquis came to the school. He arrived with almost a dozen different types of fish to show the students, including king mackerel, trigger fish, red fish, cobia (or lemon fish), red snapper, vermillion snapper, Spanish mackerel, black tip shark, shrimp (Brazilian and Gulf) and oysters. One of the first lessons Willis gave the students was how to buy fresh seafood. “When you take over managing or owning a restaurant, one of the first things you will buy is seafood,” Willis told the group. “And you’re at the mercy of the broker.” But where they will have control, he said, is when the seafood is delivered, telling them how to make sure they’re are getting the freshest seafood. Specifically he told them to look at the eyes to make sure they are clear, with no spots or or black color. The gills — using the red snapper as an example — should be red. There should be no bruising or discoloration. All fish should be gutted at sea, Willis said. And there should be no odor. Fresh fish, he said, don’t smell fishy. Typically, the smell in a seafood shop isn’t fish, but sea water being released from shellfish like
oysters and clams. Willis also gave information about specific types of fish he brought, starting with the king mackerel, which he considers to be the “fish of the future” in the seafood industry. “You’ve heard about Omega 3,” he told the group of the fatty acid that is known to be beneficial in decreasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. The king mackerel, he said, is higher in Omega 3 than any other species of fish. Red fish, he said, is very good when it’s blackened, Willis said, but should only be done in a facility with good ventilation. “Don’t do it at home,” he said. “Every smoke alarm in the house would go off. “Blackened or pan seared, it’s excellent.” Spanish mackerel, he said, is very good smoked and made into a dip. The shark is very good too, he said, adding students in Louisiana schools often were served shark on Fridays. Willis also tried to clear up a few myths about shrimp. The veins in the shrimp do not carry waste, he said. It is the digestive tract of the shrimp, but not filled with waste. “Shrimp do two things,” he said. “They drink water and absorb plankton. When there isn’t enough plankton in the water, they go to the sea floor where they absorb the sand and mud which holds plankton. That is what causes the dark veins in shrimp.” When the shrimp come from waters like those in Louisiana where there is plenty of plankton, Willis said you don’t even have to devein them. The restaurant owner also offered tips on presentation, teaching them terms like plate coverage to show how they can stretch their budget by presenting their food in a way that gives the customer what they want without breaking the bank. “Because food cost is the whole key to everything in the restaurant business,” Willis said. Student Eileen McDaniel said she found the demonstration helpful and liked learning about different types of seafood. “I knew a little about shrimp, but not a lot about the others,” she said. Cairns said this is the first of what he hopes to be several upcoming demonstrations at the college. “We want to try and do others like this,” he said, with visiting chefs and growers in the area. n gcrutchfield@themountainpress.com

Teams need leaders at all levels, not just top Cecil met me at the airport and drove me to the hotel where I was speaking at a conference. He had been a manager with a large corporation before the company experienced a major downsizing and he got his current job with a limousine service. Cecil and I had a good conversation. After I told him I was speaking to a group on the topics of communication, leadership and teamwork, I asked Cecil, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are some things that pop into your mind when I mention leadership?â&#x20AC;? He responded by first mentioning actions. He said a leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions are more important to him than what a leader says. Cecil then mentioned trust, stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential to know you can trust your leader and, of course, it is just as valuable for your leader to know he can trust you.â&#x20AC;? The last word Cecil mentioned was passion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is vital that a leader be truly excited and passionate about what he is doing, about the direction in which he and the group are going, and about the goals they have planned and are working together to reach. The people around him will be ignited by his passion and belief.â&#x20AC;? As I reflect on Cecilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, I think again of the words of a football player that were shared with me a while back. In a meeting I had with the team, I asked the players to tell me and the rest of the team something they had learned so far during the season. One young man, Elijah, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have discovered that the harder I go the harder the guys around me go.â&#x20AC;? That is a powerful sentence and thought. It sums up a lot of what Cecil was saying. It entails the action, trust and passion Cecil emphasized. Of course, when we mention the word leaders or leadership we often relegate ourselves to thinking of leadership at
the top. Leaders, however, are necessary on every level. No matter what the group or organization may be, â&#x20AC;&#x153;levelizedâ&#x20AC;? leadership is crucial. This is what makes teamwork work. Leadership emerges as team members utilize various strengths and abilities, encompassed with the right attitudes toward their tasks and each other, with everyone pulling his or her own weight. Just recently, when writing about an important drive in a football game that led to a touchdown, a sportswriter reported a head coach as saying his assistant coaches offered him some advice from the press box and then one of his offensive linemen gave him an idea on something he thought would work. The head coach sent in the plays that led to the score. Of course, it took everyone on the field working together to make the plays produce the desired results. President Herbert Hoover said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the great mass of our people there are plenty of individuals of intelligence from whom leadership can be recruited.â&#x20AC;? My personal and simple definition of teamwork is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A combined action of a team, which leads to an effective (doing the right job) and efficient (doing the job right) outcome. Good leadership on every level produces good teamwork.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Š 2009. Carl Mays of Gatlinburg is an author and speaker.

Fulco earns awards from music association From Submitted Reports The Tennessee Country Music Association has named Shaun Fulco of Sevierville its 2009 Female Vocalist and Female Entertainer of the Year in the category of adult/new country. Fulco is the office manager at Moxley Carmichael, a public relations firm in Knoxville. Earlier Fulco this year, Fulco was named a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top singleâ&#x20AC;? by Knoxville Magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled and honored to represent the Tennessee Country Music Association and the state of Tennessee for the national competition,â&#x20AC;? Fulco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so shocked when they announced my name as the Female Vocalist of the Year that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond very quickly. My son said to me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom, get up! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so proud of Shaun,â&#x20AC;? said Cynthia Moxley, CEO of Moxley Carmichael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew she was talented and fun. Now I guess the rest of the world is finding out.â&#x20AC;? Fulco won the Female Vocalist title by performing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solitary Thinking,â&#x20AC;? popularized by Lee Ann Womack, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wake Up Older,â&#x20AC;? which was a hit for Julie Roberts. She won the Female Entertainer of the Year by singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnny and June,â&#x20AC;? a hit by Heidi Newfield, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kerosene,â&#x20AC;? which was made popular by Miranda Lambert. The Tennessee Country Music Association was formed in 1995 for the purpose of promoting aspiring artists in coun-
try and gospel music. The competition, held at the River Plantation Conference Center in Sevierville, featured contestants from across Tennessee. The competition has categories for singers, songwriters, bands and dancers and is broken down further by these music styles: traditional, bluegrass, gospel and new country. Winners advance to the national competition, administered by the North America Country Music Associations International. That contest will be March 8-14 at the Country Tonite Theatre in Pigeon Forge. Fulco came to East Tennessee in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina hit her home of New Orleans. She was familiar with the area from visits to her sister, who also relocated to Sevier County after Hurricane Katrina. She started singing at age 5 and had her first public performance at 7 when she sang in the Superdome with the New Orleans Philharmonic Orchestra. She and her 15-yearold son, Jacob, live in Sevierville.

Advice
Niece should respect uncle’s wishes on how to be addressed
Zits
Blondie
Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: I am one of 12 siblings. My younger brother, “Dan,” age 42, met “Karen,” one of my daughter’s friends, at her college graduation ceremony. He later married her. Since then, the two of them have tried to redefine their relationship with my daughter to suit their own needs. Dan demands that my daughter not call him “uncle.” My guess is he thinks it will make Karen’s friends accept him as a peer. This causes my daughter conflict and pain. Karen excludes my daughter from their family-hosted functions, yet talks in detail about these events when my daughter and her friends have their girls’ night out. My brothers support Dan’s position. Now I hear that Karen badmouths my daughter to my sisters-in-law and is revealing personal problems about those same sisters-in-law to work mates. This situation is deteriorating quickly. How can I best help my daughter? — Mississippi Dear Mississippi: Like it or not, Dan is entitled to be addressed however he wishes. If he doesn’t want your daughter to call him “uncle,” she should respect that. If he wants to be treated as Karen’s husband rather than your brother, encourage her to make an effort to do so in order to salvage a relationship with both of them. Dan is never going to be the person you want him to be, and the reasons behind his foolish behavior are irrelevant. The best way to help your daughter is to teach her to tolerate loved ones whose behavior they cannot change.
(On the other hand, Karen’s big mouth will soon make her unwelcome everywhere.) Dear Annie: I’m getting married next year and don’t know who to choose as my bridesmaids. I have three friends, one of whom I’ve known for more than 10 years. I have not spoken to the other two in months. They don’t even know I’m engaged. I have put a lot of distance between us for a few reasons. One of the women is extremely obese, and I’ve exhausted myself trying to help her lose weight, but she refuses to work on it. Both women are immature, still live at home, have no desire to grow as adults and are loud and obnoxious in public. I’m afraid if I invite them to be in the wedding party, they will embarrass themselves, my family and my fiance’s family. But I also worry that if I tell them I’m engaged, they will assume I’m asking them to be bridesmaids. So, Annie, when should I tell them about my engagement? Should I simply invite them as guests and deal with hurt feelings later, or be totally upfront with them and risk losing an already distant relationship? — A Worried Bride Dear Bride: It may come as a surprise to you, but these friendships are already over. You don’t

keep in touch with these two women, you don’t actually like them, and your dismissal of someone because of her weight does not say anything nice about you. Since you haven’t been speaking to them, there is no reason to call about your engagement unless you wish to invite them to an engagement party. Dear Annie: “Sad Mom” is concerned about her daughter being infected with herpes. I, too, contracted herpes when I was only 20, and was devastated and fearful of never having a loving relationship. That was 25 years ago. I had numerous boyfriends and now have an amazing husband with whom I was completely honest before engaging in a physical relationship. Never was I rejected, and these men were nothing but wonderful, understanding and supportive. I have always been very careful and thankfully never spread the disease. Today’s prescription medications help keep herpes in check. Please tell “Sad Mother” not to worry. A good man will be there for her daughter. Education is the key. — No Worries Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
