Early voting numbers down

INSIDE

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

5Battle for playoff position Did Bears weather the Hurricanes of Morristown East? Sports, Page A8

SEVIERVILLE — There was no surprise in the numbers from early voting this year, with a fairly average turnout that election officials believe is being driven mainly by a competitive governor’s race. The tally for the entire period, which ended Thursday, was 7,673, including absentee ballots that had been sent in by Friday. That figure is down by about 700 from 2006, the last midterm vote, a decrease

those who coordinate the balloting can’t explain. “I don’t really know why that is,” Deputy Administrator of Elections Ed Kuncitis said. “We didn’t really have any big races for that vote in 2006, so maybe people this year are just waiting until election day.” For that culmination of the balloting on Tuesday, Kuncitis said folks in the Election Commission office expect turnout to be brisk and think the total number of voters will double or go a little higher

before all is said and done. While the tally was down from four years ago, the fact that the early vote could account for half the total number of ballots cast in the county is a testament to how popular the option has become in recent years. “We had a good turnout, even though it was off a little,” Kuncitis said. “Everything went really well. It’s a short ballot, so people moved pretty quickly through it. In most precincts the ballot is only one page.”

The exceptions apparently come in Pittman Center, where town elections are being held, and in the small portion of Sevier County covered by the 2nd Congressional District. Rep. Jimmy Duncan, R-Knoxville, has attracted a few more challengers, including several Independent candidates, than his counterpart in the 1st District, Rep. Phil Roe, R-Johnson City, Kuncitis explained. In addition to those races, votSee Voting, Page A4

It could be anyone from a superhero or witch to a vampire or reality TV show star — this year’s Halloween costumes run the gamut. K-Mart seasonal department manager Katherine Rutherford said that werewolves, Spiderman and Superman were the

majority of their shipment for boys’ costumes, while My Little Pony and witches were available for girls. Candy is even showing up on the costume racks this year: Trickor-treaters can actually dress up as their favorite treat by wearing slip dresses or shirts with wrapper designs of candy bars like Skittles, Kit Kats and M&Ms. “We also have giant crayon costumes for kids and adults,” Rutherford said. “Our superheroes See Costumes, Page A4

Chamber event touts Sellars’ transplants tourism, honors McCord completed after 2nd day of surgery By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

GATLINBURG — A chamber of commerce-sponsored luncheon with the three men who represent Sevier County in Nashville turned into a cheerleading session for tourism and State Rep. Joe McCord, who is leaving the General Assembly at the end of the year. McCord, R-Maryville, joked the event at times felt like a wake as people offered praise for him and his 12 years in office representing parts of the county’s western edge. It was likely the last public appearance he’ll make before his replacement is chosen next Tuesday. “You have done a wonderful job for Gatlinburg in tourism,” Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce Director Vicki Simms said, melding the top two subjects of the day. “We’ve been through

a lot of things and we’ve worked a lot together.” Simms wasn’t the only person offering praise for the departing legislator. His fellow lawmakers — State Rep. Richard Montgomery, R-Sevierville, and State Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville — added onto the laud. “Let me say how much we’re going to miss Joe McCord in the General Assembly,” Overbey said. “Joe is a very effective legislator. He’s been a good representative for this area and will be missed.” While his seat in the House of Representatives may be filled by someone else in the future, Montgomery said he doesn’t believe this is the end of McCord’s service to the area. “I truly believe he would have been speaker of the House this next time if he had wanted to stay,” Montgomery See Chamber, Page A5

Though the effort to give Sellars what would be a life-saving overhaul was halted Thursday afternoon after he started bleeding uncontrollably — his stomach and intes-

It’s been an emotional roller coaster,” Sellars’ sister-in-law Kerrie Sellars said as she celebrated with the family Friday afternoon. “They worked from 12:30 a.m. See Sellars, Page A5

Chili eating contest on the Parkway in Gatlinburg.

Gatlinburg readies for spicy Winter Magic Kickoff Submitted Report GATLINBURG — Offering homemade chili ranging from mild to wild, the city of Gatlinburg hosts its 21st annual Winter Magic Kickoff and Chili Cookoff from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 10 on the downtown Parkway, highlighted by the debut of its lights program. The chili cookoff will feature more than 20 businesses and public service agencies serving more than 30,000 cups of chili, as each participating group competes for awards. Those attending are encouraged to vote for their favorite chili for the People’s Choice Award. A panel of judges will cast their votes for other awards. Cookoff winners will be announced and trophies awarded at 7:15. Entertainment will be provided onstage and throughout the event site, including The Grassabillies, Steve Brown & Hurricane Ridge, Outta the Blue, Boogertown Gap, Kenny Channels and Kevin McGuire.

Immunization requirements for child care, pre-school, as well as school and college entry have changed in Tennessee. At the present time, seventh-graders must have two booster shots (Tetanus-diphtheriapertussis booster or “Tdap� and verification of immunity to varicella through two doses or history of the disease). On Oct. 1, the Sevier County School System notified parents that seventh-grade students without proof of meeting the new requirements may not attend school on Nov. 1, until such time as the requirements are met. The notification followed a series of announcements about the new requirements to parents in May and August.

In 1993 the company went public, becoming the first outlet developer to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Tanger operates an outlet center in Sevierville. By 1995, the company opened its 27th outlet shopping center. Tanger Outlet Centers was listed in the “Top 50 Public Companies� in North Carolina in 1996. In 2005, the company’s Annual PinkStyle Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign surpassed $4 million in funds raised to battle breast cancer nationwide and the Stanley K. Tanger Breast Cancer Fund was established. In January 2009,

Steven B. Tanger, son of the founder, assumed the role of president and chief executive officer of the company.

ers in the third of this year’s three elections face choices in the contests for state House and Senate, as well as being asked to weigh in on an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution that would make hunting and fishing protected by that document. Finally, there is that heated race to succeed Gov. Phil Bredesen, the term-limited Democratic state leader. Though he won the county four years ago, it seems unlikely the new Democratic standardbearer, Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, will be able to pull off the same feat in his race against Republican Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam. Polls throughout the campaign have shown Haslam with a commanding lead topping 20 points, despite McWherter’s optimism during a recent visit to Sevier County that things are tightening up. Given the county’s dedication to Republican candidates and the fact Haslam is from a neighboring county, he’s expected to win by a considerable margin here. “We figured we probably

would have a good turnout because of the interest in the governor’s race,� Kuncitis said. It appears Sevier County isn’t the only place where that expectation fell a bit flat. Across the state, officials expected to break the record for the number of ballots cast before election day in a non-presidential year. Instead, the tally fell far short of that mark. According to the Associated Press, State Election Coordinator Mark Goins had said officials were expecting about 1 million early ballots to be filled during the two-week period that started Oct. 13, up from the previous record of 850,000 in a non-presidential election year. But Thursday’s final tally showed 736,885 early and absentee ballots were cast. Goins said Friday that officials were still encouraged by the final numbers, and that “the number of early voters did surpass all previous early voting totals for a midterm election excluding 2006.� There are 3.8 million registered voters in the state and somewhere around 52,000 here in Sevier County. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Faye Vivian Andes Baker, 85 died suddenly on October 27, 2010. She was born August 8, 1925 at home in the Walden Creek community to Lula Duggan Andes and James Mitchell Andes. Vivian was preceded in death by Howard Ross Baker, her childhood sweetheart and husband of 42 years. She was the sixth of eight children. She was preceded in death by her sisters Cecil Andes Spitzer Hatcher, Reva Andes Fox, and Madge Andes Ketchersid, and brothers Rex and Hugh, and infant twins, Beverly and Jimmy. Vivian is survived by two sons; Howard Lynn Baker, wife Debbie, and daughter Tilly of Clinton, Tennessee, and Tielke Baker, and wife Linda of Atlanta, Georgia. She is also survived by sisters-in-law Lenore Sparks Andes, Nadine Hanrahan, and Elizabeth Baker and many nieces and nephews. Her father and mother were founding members of the Walden Creek United Methodist Church where she attended most of her life. Vivian was the oldest and the longest standing member of that church. She graduated with distinction from Pi Beta Phi in Gatlinburg and went on to work on the Manhattan Project at Y-12 and K-25 in Oak Ridge. She worked at Butler’s Farm, Forge Hammer Grill, Apple Tree Inn, River Terrace, and Howard’s in Gatlinburg and the Green Valley in Pigeon Forge.

Obama: Terror explosives found, bound for U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities on three continents thwarted multiple terrorist attacks aimed at the United States Friday, seizing two explosive packages addressed to Chicago-area synagogues and packed aboard cargo jets from Yemen. Parts of the plot might remain undetected, President Barack Obama’s counterterror chief warned. Obama called the coor-

dinated attacks a “credible terrorist threat� amid worldwide fears that alQaida was launching a major new campaign of assaults. “The United States is not assuming that the attacks were disrupted and is remaining vigilant,� Obama adviser John Brennan said at the White House. One of the packages was found aboard a

cargo plane in Dubai, the other in England. In the U.S., cargo planes were searched up and down the Eastern Seaboard, and an Emirates Airlines passenger jet was escorted down the coast to New York by American fighter jets. No explosives were found aboard those planes, though the investigation was continuing on at least two. Obama’s sobering

Everything is in and working.� John Sellars was diagnosed a few years ago with a rare disease that essentially shuts down the digestive system. He went to Pittsburgh to await doctors finding a match for all four organs. Kerrie said the family members waiting outside the operating room were overcome with emotion when they got the update. “Everybody just started crying tears of joy,� she said. “Everybody was just relieved.� The family got the call late Wednesday informing them there were donor organs on their way to Sellars, a former assistant district attorney here. They sat in the waiting room as one of only three doctors in the nation who has completed such a procedure skillfully reworked most of Sellars’ major organs. “His doctor is an angel,� Kerrie said.

low these guys [Overbey and Montgomery] and you’ll do OK.� McCord shared the love with the officials from both the Gatlinburg and Sevierville chambers, who put on the event, praising their efforts to protect the state’s No. 2 industry. “You have absolutely been wonderful to me,� McCord said. “No matter what I do in the future, in public or private life, you have a cheerleader in me because I understand what you do for the state. I promise you, I see the value you have. I’m very fortunate to have met you and to have represented you.� With that back-clapping out of the way, the chambers turned to their

chief interest of ensuring the county’s stakes in Nashville’s fights over tourism promotion will be wellrepresented in the coming term. They received assurances from the two men who will be returning that they’re going to continue their efforts to push the area’s top business in the capitol. “A lot of counties don’t have hardly any tourism, so we have to explain the value of it to them,� Montgomery said. “We get a big bang for our buck, so I think we need to keep on keeping on,� Overbey added. The men covered a few other issues, expressing excitement about the potential for redistricting being particularly favor-

Even in the case of transplants of just one organ there is high risk that the body will reject the new body part. That potential is increased when dealing with four organs. “Everything is great right now, but he is at a very crucial time,� Kerrie said. “We’ll just have to take it day by day. We hope everyone will continue praying for John.� Kerrie and the rest of the family believe it was divine intercessions and the support of people from across the area that helped them through the trial thus far. They’ve been bolstered by numerous benefit events, cards and phone calls, she said. “We couldn’t have got-

ten through this without all the prayers and support,� she said. “People we don’t even know have been calling us. Sevier County has really come together for John and it has been amazing. We just appreciate that so much.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

The president went ahead with weekend campaign appearances. The terrorist efforts “underscore the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism,� the president said. While he

said both packages that contained explosives originated in Yemen, he did not explicitly assign blame to al-Qaida, which is active in the Arab nation and long has made clear its goal of launching new attacks on the United States. Authorities in Dubai intercepted one explosive device. The second package was aboard a plane searched in East Midlands,

north of London, and officials said it contained a printer toner cartridge with wires and powder. Brennan said the devices were in packages about the size of a breadbox. While the president didn’t specifically accuse Yemen’s al-Qaida branch, officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said they were increasingly certain that was the source. The same group

Jury recommends death in Florida couple’s slaying PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A former karate instructor should be put to death for leading a group of men dressed like ninjas to rob and kill a wealthy Florida couple while their nine special-needs children slept or cowered nearby, a jury recommended Friday. The jurors voted 10-2 to recommend that Patrick Gonzalez Jr. be executed for the slayings of Byrd and Melanie Billings. Their nine adopted children, who are between the ages of 5 and 12, all have special needs including fetal alcohol syndrome and autism. Some of the couple’s relatives appeared happy, though others showed no emotion when the recommendation was announced. Gonzalez had no reaction. “The justice system has worked,� Ashley Markham, the couple’s adult daughter, said in a statement she read able to their in-power party in the next two years, hopes that there will be changes made to or a complete revocation of the federal healthcare legislation and a commitment to work with the next governor. Of course, they’re certain it will be fellow Republican and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, whom they believe will represent the area well since he’s from one county over. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

to the media. Markham is now raising the couple’s other children. Under Florida law, the final sentence will be imposed by Judge Nickolas Geeker, who must give the recommendation “great weight.� Geeker will hear from attorneys again at a Dec. 9 hearing, though it could take up to three months for him to issue a final decision. John Jan Gontarek, Gonzalez’s defense attorney, said he was disappointed but hoped Geeker would not follow the jury’s recommendation. Earlier in the day, State Attorney Bill Eddins told jurors that Gonzalez continued to torment Melanie Billings after shooting her husband in each leg and in the head. “He let her stand there and watch him shoot her husband down like a dog,� Eddins said. “That is obviously cruel and unusual punishment.�

Attorney warns schools about prayer CHATTANOOGA. (AP) — An attorney giving advice about school prayer has warned the county school board in Chattanooga to avoid “anything that looks like a stamp of approval.” Attorney Scott Bennett said the “school system is bound by law to be strictly neutral.” The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that Bennett gave the advice at a Hamilton County school board work session Thursday. His comments come amid community grumbling and gatherings since superintendent Jim Scales directed principals to stop allowing prayers on the loudspeaker before Soddy-Daisy High School

football games. Supporters of public prayer have been making T-shirts and Facebook pages, calling for Scales’ policy to be overturned. The issue surfaced last week after Scales issued the directive in response to a Freedom from Religion Foundation letter on behalf of students who complained about the prayers. Board member Rhonda Thurman said she supports public prayer in schools. “The whole thing is just so ridiculous,” she said. “You can have kids running around doing these horrible dances, saying the ’F’ word, but God forbid they try to

pray.” Bennett said the guiding rule for school board members and any school official is that in their official capacity they cannot be seen as endorsing any sort of religion, whether that be joining a studentled prayer group on the football field before a game or including an official prayer on the program at a graduation ceremony. He said that if a school designated the football field as a “limited public forum,” students could, in theory, pray publicly but in allowing such prayer administrators open themselves to hearing student opinion that they might find offensive or inappropriate.

Celebrities in the news n Randy

Travis

NASHVILLE (AP) — Randy Travis and his wifemanager Elizabeth Travis have divorced. Family spokeswoman Maureen O’Connor confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that the divorce was final. No further details were given, but an earlier statement that the couple Travis had “parted ways” said Elizabeth Travis would continue to be Travis’ personal manager. The statement said the couple would have no further comment and asked for “respect for their privacy during this time.” Neither could be reached for comment. A petition for dissolution of marriage was filed by Randy Travis in Albuquerque, N.M., on Thursday. They have a home in Santa Fe. The petition calls for an equal split of assets, but offers no clues about why the Travises split, other than saying a “state of incompatibility exists between the parties.”

commentary

Stop public funding of public radio One of the big reasons the Democrats may get hammered next Tuesday is that under that party’s congressional leadership, the nation has run up an astounding $5 trillion in new debt over the past three years. And what do we have to show for all that deficit spending? Nancy Pelosi flying home to San Francisco in a private jet? As part of the federal gravy train, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is set to receive $420 million this year alone. No wonder Elmo is smiling. This is free money for a group of people who should be competing in the private marketplace. And what are the taxpayers getting for their money? Well, this much is beyond dispute: The news-based programming on PBS and NPR is heavily tilted to the left. In fact, as far as their news analysts are concerned, there are 17 liberal-leaning individuals on the air and one moderate, David Brooks. There are no conservative voices heard in the national public broadcasting precincts. The incredible firing last week of the 18th liberal analyst, Juan Williams, unmasked the NPR operation, which is deeply invested in liberal causes. A few days before Juan was sacked, far-left billionaire George Soros donated $1.8 million to NPR so they could hire some reporters. NPR snatched up the Soros money faster than a raccoon could down a cupcake. So I am asking myself: Did Soros get the Bill Haley and the Comets oldies package or the Disco Explosion CD set for his largesse? The fact that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting denies it is an ideological operation is pretty stunning. There are plenty of conservatives who would like to bloviate on a weekly TV program like Bill Moyers did for 20 years. And old Bill was canny. Not only did he draw a salary from PBS, but his production company had the right to market videotapes of his programs. Wow. Nice perk from the taxpayers, right, Bill? But PBS simply can’t find any rightwingers worthy of the Moyers treatment. I know they are looking very hard. This dishonest shell game has got to stop. We live in a time where cable TV rules and satellite radio is all over the place. If PBS and NPR have good product, there are plenty of places for it in the private sector. Let these people compete for their dollars. I will miss seeing The Drifters performing on fundraisers every two months, but I’ll bite the bullet. No more public funding, please. A number of Republicans on Capitol Hill say they will introduce legislation to defund public broadcasting. That will probably pass. But President Obama will, I believe, veto the attempt. After all, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a liberal cathedral, and the president will not want to disturb the service. — Veteran TV news anchor Bill O Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You?

16-year Scout tradition benefits animal shelter

Jayne Vaughn wasn’t kidding when she praised most of the participants in last Saturday’s 16th annual Smoky Shadows Girl Scout Walk for the Animals. The executive director of the Sevier County Humane Society told the scouts that most of them don’t remember the history, but praised them for carrying on the tradition. The event was held at Pigeon Forge’s City Park for the purpose of getting donations for the perpetual need for pet supplies needed by the shelter, especially at this time of the year. Officials said the haul wasn’t as big this year as it has been in the past, but it was still significant. Received were four dog/cat toys; three rolls of paper towels, 22 pounds of cat food, 108 pounds of cat litter, 57 pounds of puppy chow, 131 pounds of dog chow and 5 pounds of dog treats. Of course, the shelter will still gratefully accept donations. Call 453-7000. For the 16th straight year, the Girl Scouts are to be applauded for a job well done.

Singing the praises of SVFD special services

If firefighters, policemen and other emergency services personnel are often unsung heroes, when they get recognition they become “sung” heroes. If so, the 13 members of the Seymour Volunteer Fire Department’s Support Services Division can consider themselves “sung.” The support services division has just been named winner of the 2010 Fire Corps Programs National Award of Excellence, sponsored by the International Fire Service Training Association and Fire Protection Publications. The award will be presented next week in Greenbelt, Md. Making the award even more special is that Seymour’s program started in April 2007 with little more than a canopy, few chairs, couple of coolers for bottled water and a desire to help provide rehab services. Under the guidance of support services coordinator David Caufield and with the support of individuals and agencies such as the sheriff’s department, it has grown into one the nation’s elite in just three years. This group of dedicated firefighters is unsung no more. National officials will sing their praises next week in Maryland.

13 not unlucky number for SCHS’s DECA Club

Thirteen an unlucky number? Maybe for some, but not for the Sevier County High School DECA Club, which hosted its 13th annual Smoky Bear Open Car Show last weekend at the school. But this is no ordinary fundraiser. It raises money for the club and local charities, all right, but, according to DECA sponsor and marketing instructor Valerie Pope, it’s “a good way to teach the kids about marketing and event planning.” Proceeds benefit the club’s trips to leadership conferences — the next is to Washington, D.C. — along with Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries. In the past, money raised has gone to help Toys for Tots, Sevier County libraries and the Susan G. Comen Breast Cancer Foundation. The event combines a classic car show and all sorts of other fun. There were hamburgers, hot dogs and other eats, and lots of entertainment. For a small fee, you could put a pie in the face of a DECA officers. That’s what we call entrepreneurship — and a first-class event.

Taking care of business Smoky Bears handle Hurricanes to clinch IMAC co-championship By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer MORRISTOWN — The Sevier County High School Smoky Bears used fast offensive starts to both halves and a complete defensive effort to leave no doubt in a 31-0 win over the homestanding IMAC Conference rival Morristown East Hurricanes at BurkeToney Stadium in Morristown on Friday night. With the win, Sevier County (8-2 overall, 6-1 in District 2-AAA) secured the regular-season title of IMAC Co-Champion by tradition. But after finishing with a oneloss conference record along with Morristown West and Jefferson County, the Bears should be awarded the No. 1 playoff seed by TSSAA on Saturday because they have the best overall record of the three at 8-2.

West’s Trojans prove too much for Eagles 34-8 By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEYMOUR — From the very beginnings of the Seymour Eagles 34-8 loss to Morristown West Friday night, it was apparent the game would be much like the Blue and Gold season — difficult. An Austin Green TD early gave West a 7-0 lead, and on the Trojans’ second play of the second quarter, Jerimia Gregg caught a Patrick Ashford pass for a 52-yard score to make it a 14-0 ballgame. From there the game was never close.

As was often the case this season, Seymour (3-7, 3-4 in IMAC play) would take a step forward offensively, just to take two steps back. Several drives had promising starts to only stall or end in turnover. West (7-3, 6-1 in the IMAC) added a Jose Rico field goal before half to take a 17-0 lead into intermission, and another field goal by the Trojan kicker on the team’s first possession of the second half upped the ante to 20-0. West kept its collective foot on the accelerator, scoring a TD on their next

possession on a 49-yard screen pass from Ashford to Bowe Craine. The extra point had the Trojans up 27-0 midway through the third quarter. Seymour finally got their offense going on the ensuing possession, using a combination of Dustin Fain scrambles and passes to Cory Clark and Kevin Kennedy to move the into West territory. From there Seymour struck paydirt on a 22-yard TD pass from Fain to Clark that resembled something from a SportsCenter Top See EAGLES, Page A9

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Steve Spurrier remembers all three South Carolina victories over Tennessee, even the one in 1992 when he wasn’t the 17th-ranked Gamecocks’ coach. He would like to make beating the Vols more routine, starting on Saturday. Though the three wins South Carolina does own have all been special. In 1992 Spurrier’s Florida Gators had to have outside help to win the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division and the Gamecocks, in their first season as SEC members, obliged with a stunning 24-23 victory over the 16th-ranked Vols. “That was a memorable day,” Spurrier recalled. “That was a day that Florida beat Georgia, and we needed somebody to beat Tennessee to win the Eastern Division, which happened that year.” Spurrier was the Gamecocks coach for their only two series wins since then, each memorable in their own right. South Carolina won at Tennessee in 2005, Spurrier’s debut season, for the first time ever. Then two years ago, the Gamecocks dominated the Vols 27-6 and the school announced shortly after that longtime coach Phil Fulmer would not return. Spurrier and the Gamecocks host the struggling Vols (2-5, 0-4 SEC) this weekend. “Tennessee’s a little bit in a down slump, as several teams are,” Spurrier said. “But we can’t worry about that.” South Carolina (5-2, 3-2) has much bigger, Tennessee-type things on its mind, like reaching the SEC championship game. The Gamecocks lead the SEC East and are the division’s only two loss team. Things fall Spurrier’s way this weekend and he’s playing for a spot in the Georgia Dome the following week against Arkansas. “We see these things. We just have to keep a level head,” said Brian Maddox, who had a career-high 146 yards in last week’s 21-7 win at Vanderbilt. “We know it’s there. We just have to kind of put it in the back of our minds.” Spurrier’s done his best to make sure South Carolina keeps its focus week-toweek the past few games with so-so results. The Gamecocks held fourth-quarter leads at Auburn and Kentucky before losing those contests, yet quickly bounced back from both contests the following game — most notably for South Carolina with its 35-21 upset of No. 1 Alabama on Oct. 9. The Vanderbilt win last week showed Spurrier his players had some ability to fight off adversity and achieve. The Gamecocks were tied 7-all at the half and playing without injured freshman star

Marcus Lattimore in the backfield. Still, they rallied to the win. “It was sort of good to be tied at halftime and win the game last week,” Spurrier said. “The two we’d lost, heck, we were leading going into the fourth quarter in both of them. So, we didn’t finish well a couple of games. We ended up finishing against Vandy a lot better. That’s probably what we’re going to need to do if we’re going to be successful down the stretch here.” Tennessee’s probably not sure what it can do to avoid a disastrous finish in Derek Dooley’s first year as coach. Starting quarterback Matt Simms sprained his left knee in a 41-14 loss to Alabama last week and spent time in a walking boot. The Vols haven’t had this long an SEC losing streak since 2005 with some fans worried about — gulp — going 0-8 by the time it’s all down. “I’ve seen a sense of disappointment,” Tennessee receiver Gerald Jones said. “I’ve seen a couple of heads drop.” This week, Dooley unbelievably compared Tennessee to German troops in WWII surprised by the Allies’ D-Day Invasion. The losing is starting to wear on the first-year coach. “Here, I get reminded every week this is the first time since some Stone Age that this happened,” Dooley said. “It hasn’t happened a lot here. ... This is new. We’re in uncharted waters.” So is South Carolina, which has rarely come this close to the SEC championship. “All we are is in position right now, which is good. It’s very good,” Spurrier said. “Whether or not we can finish, we’re going to find out.”

five quarterback sacks for a total of negative-49 yards, two fumble recoveries and a blocked punt. “The defense has been playing well all year long,” said SCHS coach Steve Brewer, following the win. “I’m very, very proud of them. They bring intensity, and they’re physical. They bring those two things to the game, and they keep us in a lot of games when we’re struggling a little bit offensively at times.” Despite scoring four touchdowns and a field goal, Brewer had some criticism of his offense, which failed to put points on the board in the second and fourth quarters. He wasn’t upset about the goose egg in the fourth, when the Bears were just draining the clock with running plays, but he wasn’t too pleased with what went on in the second. “We had a sorry second quarter, and that was due to the lack of our composure,” said Brewer. The Bears led 14-0 at the half after two firstquarter scores put them in front early, but the secondquarter performance had Sevier County re-inspired to get back on track in the second half. The Bears responded with two more TDs and a field goal to make it the eventual final before the third quarter ended. “We started out good, scoring early,” said SCHS senior quarter Danny Chastain, following the

The play came with 7:26 in the first quarter and gave the Bears a 7-0 lead after sophomore

kicker Jared Baxter’s PAT kick. McCarter came up huge for Sevier County again, returning the Hurricanes punt on the ensuing possession 31 yards and giving the Bears a first down at the East 17. “Logan McCarter can do some nice things with the ball,” said Brewer. Four plays later, Chastain came up with Sevier County’s second score of the night on a three-yard quarterback keeper with 4:00 even in the first quarter. Chastain followed senior running back Dakota Cogdill’s nice block around the left edge on the play, and Baxter’s kick made it a quick 14-0 Bears game. Sevier County had a repeat performance to start the second half. Cogdill made it 21-0 Bears with 8:04 in the third on a three-yard TD

run up the gut, finishing off the opening secondhalf drive that he sparked two plays earlier with a 44-yard burst to the East 6. SCHS sophomore Dillon Cate kept things going the Purple-and-White way on the ensuing kickoff, forcing a Morristown fumble that was recovered by senior Josh Johnson at the East 26 with 7:59 in the third. “That was a nice hit,” said Brewer. The Smoky Bears capitalized quickly, making it 28-0 two plays later when Chastain threw his second score of the night, this time a 21-yard strike to senior receiver Bryant Gilson in the right side of the end zone with 7:20 in the third. Moments later, Baxter added three points to the Sevier County total with a 32-yard field goal that made it the final with 3:29 remaining in the third. Chastain finished the game 9-of-17 passing for 106 yards with two TDs throwing, one running, and an interception. He was sacked twice for negative-23 yards, but he also added 21 yards on eight carries. Cogdill led the team with 87 yards rushing on 13 totes with a score. Gilson led Sevier County in receiving with 42 yards on three grabs with a score. Sevier County’s defense held the vaunted East rushing attack to just 38 net yards on 30 carries. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

10 list. Fain, eluding tacklers in the backfield, swerved from left to right and back to left again, buying time and allowing Clark to work his way open just inbounds near the goal line. There the senior QB found his senior receiver, who made a nifty move past a Trojan defender to score. The Eagles elected to go for two, and Kevin Kennedy took a sweep left to corner of the end zone to cut the lead to 27-8. But that was as close as it would get for Seymour. Isaiah McKinney added a late seven-yard TD scamper for the Trojans to put the final tally at 34-8. After the game Moore had good things to say about his team despite its 3-7 finish, Seymour’s worst since 1992. “It’s been an interesting year, we’ve been undersized and everything all year, but these kids have fought their tails off,” Moore said. “You’ve got to be proud of them, they’ve never quit, and a lot of lesser teams would have with some of the situations they’ve been in this year. Moore gave credit to his seniors, who were playing their final game in the Blue and Gold.

“(They’re a) great group of kids,” Moore said. “There’s only six teams in the state of Tennessee that end happy. At some point you’ve got to say goodbye to them, and you always hate to, and this group’s no different, you hate to see them go.” The coach said he was pleased with his team’s progression through the season — especially that of his younger players, many of whom were forced into starring roles their first year of varsity action. “From where we started and where they ended up, it was unbelievable,” the coach said. “We had so many kids get so much experience this year. Next year they’ll be better, and two years from now it’s going to be better. It didn’t help us in a lot of ways this year, but it’s going to pay off down the road. “It’s hard to say you laid a foundation with a 3-7 team, but this team learned to fight, and you can build on that. As undersized as we were against the teams we played this year, and not lay down and fight every single week for 48 minutes, these younger kids know that. That goes back to the seniors... really staying on them and letting them know that this means a lot to them.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

Titan’s Quarterback Vince Young TENNESSEE TITANS FOOTBALL

Fisher: ’Good chance’ QB Young will start Sunday for Titans NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said Friday that “there is a good chance� quarterback Vince Young will start Sunday against San Diego. Young went through a full week of practice after missing last Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Young suffered a sprained left knee and ankle when the Titans played Jacksonville on Oct. 18. “I think everything came together for us this week,�

Fisher said. “I think there is a good chance Vince will start.� Fisher also said receiver Kenny Britt will face only “in-house� discipline from the team and won’t miss any more playing time as a result of any involvement in a bar fight on Oct. 22. Britt sat out the first 22 minutes of Sunday’s win over Philadelphia, but had seven receptions for 225 yards and three scores after entering the game.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James stayed fairly quiet when the Orlando Magic questioned his competitiveness this summer. James and his new team presented an emphatic response Friday night. Dwyane Wade scored 26 points in Miami’s home opener, James had 15 points and seven assists and the Heat scored the first 14 points of the second half to turn a close game into a surprisingly one-sided 96-70 victory over the Magic. “They came out, they threw an uppercut, and as a team we kind of went down,� Magic center Dwight Howard said. Oh, this was a knockout, all right. The Heat had lost to Orlando 15 times in the last 20 meetings. Of course, all those were before Wade, James and Chris Bosh teamed up in Miami. They preach defense in Miami, and this is why: The Heat held Orlando to its lowest point total since Dec. 2, 2005, and the 26-point margin matched Miami’s biggest ever against the Magic. The 30.4 percent shooting effort was Orlando’s worst since Nov. 3, 2003 — a span of 573 regular-season games. “The guys now can’t

go back on this,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “They’ve shown me what we’re capable of defensively and I will hold them to this standard now in terms of the effort. The effort was great.� When the Heat acquired James this summer, Magic president of basketball operations Otis Smith uttered a now-infamousin-Miami line: “I was surprised that he went. I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor.� They competed, all right, from start to finish. “We heard everything Orlando had to say about us in the offseason,� James said. “It’s not like it’s satisfying. I’m not relieved, because it’s a long season. But they know we’re here for the long haul. We know they’re going to be there also, but this is a different Miami Heat team. There’s only so many words to be said. At this point, the ball has to be thrown up now.� It didn’t take long for the trio to provide their first highlight: Bosh grabbed the ball at one end, passed toward midcourt to James, who took one dribble and found Wade for an alleyoop dunk to help Miami take an early 22-13 lead. “Off to the races,� Bosh said.

They were just getting started. Howard scored all 19 of his points in the first half for Orlando, then fouled out midway through the fourth quarter. Reserve Ryan Anderson scored 12 for the Magic, who got 10 from Jameer Nelson. Miami’s starters — with no points from Joel Anthony — outscored Orlando’s first five 59-37. “Overall, I thought it was just a terrible offensive execution,� said Magic forward Rashard Lewis, who was 0 for 9 from the floor. The first half was fairly back-and-forth with eight lead changes and seven ties, neither team going up by more than nine. That changed quickly coming out of intermission. James hit a 3-pointer to open the second half, Wade connected on two more 3s

within a 51-second span, and suddenly Miami’s lead was 60-45. Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy called timeout, and that didn’t change anything — James’ jumper about a minute later pushed the lead to 20. And that, mind you, was against an Orlando team that cruised to a 29-point win over Washington on Thursday night. For a team with no shortage of offensive options, the Magic were icy cold against the Heat. “It was really exciting — I mean, really exciting,� Bosh said. “The fans of Miami have been anticipating this game for a really long time, ever since July.� Vince Carter played just 13 minutes, banging his head and hip on the floor while jostling for a rebound in the second quarter and finishing with four points.

Advice

Teenager needs counseling before rebellion ruins her life

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: My 15-year-old daughter, “Tracie,” is attractive, a top student, a volunteer and a Sunday school teacher. She planned to become a doctor. Recently, Tracie became sexually involved with a 20-year-old man who is known to be a drug pusher. Moreover, he has a girlfriend. Tracie does not claim to love him. She smokes weed with him and a few days ago became so drunk (the first time) that she cannot remember what she did. The sex and pot I could handle, but what upsets me terribly is that Tracie, who was widely admired in our town and who certainly received much affection at home, flaunts this relationship and seems to want to ruin her reputation. I worry that there is something selfdestructive in her. What now? — California Dear California: You realize that you could call the police and have her drug-pushing partner arrested for having sex, even consensual, with a minor. And although Tracie would have a fit, it’s possible this kind of parental involvement is exactly what she is hoping for. Even smart, attractive teenagers can be reckless and foolish because they lack the maturity to make appropriate judgment calls and cannot always see the consequences of their actions. That’s what parents are for. You are going to have a major uphill battle with Tracie as she searches for her own identity — one that may differ from her parents’ expectations. Get her into counseling with you, and work on this before she does some-

thing she cannot fix. Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 50s and have been retired for six years. He now works part time and spends the rest of his day golfing and watching TV. The problem is that he forgets I’m retired, too. Besides my regular shopping and household upkeep, I am constantly cleaning up the messes he leaves, turning lights out, closing cupboards and closets, and throwing away trash he drops on the floor. When I ask him to help me out, he gives me attitude and then does the task halfheartedly, which means I usually end up doing it over. And heaven forbid I point out that he didn’t do something right, because then he accuses me of being mean. He apparently needs a mother, not a wife. And when it comes to sex, he doesn’t understand that I have little interest in someone for whom I’m losing respect daily. Is it too late to get my husband to take pride in our home and see that it takes a team effort to care for it? — On My Own Dear O.M.O: If your husband didn’t do any housework before he retired, he probably doesn’t see why he should do it now. And undoubtedly, he considers it your responsibility, not his. Let him do it poorly, and don’t redo his efforts. With patience and per-

sistence, you can “train” him, but it will take time, and again, you might feel like his mother. So decide how important it is to you. And if you tell him directly that more help around the house will translate to more sex, the problem could be solved altogether. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Crowded by the Ex.” I can’t imagine that after all these years, people can’t learn to get along. My husband’s ex and I started out a little leery of each other, but time has changed that. When my stepson married, I offered to let his dad and mom sit in the first row. I was more than happy to sit elsewhere. But they both insisted we sit together. We even did the rehearsal dinner together. Now that there are grandchildren, it’s wonderful to have everyone present for Christmas and birthdays. She and I have even taken the grandkids on outings together.
