SEVIERVILLE — Ten years after the team’s fabled state championship run, the Sevier County Smoky Bears have done something never before accomplished by a team wearing the Purple and White. They finished the regular season undefeated. Sevier County (10-0, 7-0 in District 2-AAA) survived a scare from Morristown East on Friday night to clinch the perfect 10-0 mark with a 38-27 win, thanks to superb halftime defensive adjustments and a whale of a game from senior quarterback Zach Flynn. Trailing 20-17 in the third quarter, Flynn rallied the team with three second-half TD passes while the defense held the Hurricanes to just one score, allowing the Smoky Bears to come out on top with the huge win. Flynn finished the game with an eyepopping 337 yards on 22-of-35 passing, connecting on five touchdowns. “Zach Flynn, what can you say?” SCHS head coach Steve Brewer asked.

Coaches’ time, dedication pushed Bears to 10-0 season By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — After two-straight seasons of missing the TSSAA football playoffs, the Sevier County Smoky Bears are back — big time. Todd Loveday, the school’s athletic director, an assistant football coach and a member of head coach Steve Brewer’s inaugural team in 1992, knows exactly what it’s taken for the 2009 squad to become the school’s first-ever team to post an undefeated regular season. “It’s hard to believe it’s been since ‘06 since we’ve been to the playoffs,” Loveday said Friday after-

Forge risks losing grant monies By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — Pigeon Forge leaders are debating the possibility of spending money to make money, though under the threat that not doing so might actually also cost the city some funds. The state has awarded Pigeon Forge two grants, totaling more than $400,000, for doing work on City Park and the Riverwalk greenway. The catch is the money must be used within a certain time or it reverts to the state, and allowing it to do so would likely hurt the city’s chances of getting the grants in the future, parks and Recreation Director John Wilbanks told the City Commission Monday. “We need to do this now,”

INSIDE

Wilbanks said. “This is a very competitive grant process and when the time is up, it’s up. The state has been pretty good about working with Pigeon Forge on these grants, but that might not be the case if we send this money back.” However, the question is whether the city is prepared to spend as much as $3.5 million in order to secure the grants by completing a pair of projects on municipal parks. Among the money that might be lost is up to $225,000 for plans to completely revamp City Park. Officials several years ago developed a master plan for that work, an effort to not only make the park more of a resource to local folks, but also to help the area become something of a capital of youth sports, Wilbanks said. That work has languished,

however, as the economy has taken a downturn. During their budget debates earlier this year, city officials opted not to include any funding for the project in the current fiscal year. “(Wilbanks) did request that but we didn’t include it,” City Manager Earlene Teaster said. But it seems the City Commission may want to reconsider, something it opted to do in an upcoming work session. That’s because, Wilbanks explains, the work must be started now to ensure the state money isn’t lost. “We have a deadline of Nov. 14, 2011, and then it’s gone,” he said. “In order to get everything done in time, we need to get this out for bids in May so the contractor can line up his subcontractors and get to work at the end of July or beginning of August when the leagues are done.”

Those leagues are local teams that use the baseball and softball facilities at the park. Wilbanks hopes the city will allow them to run through their seasons before the work is started, though that will mean compacting all the work related to those fields into a few months. The area would need to be done by March to allow for the leagues to start tryouts again. The plan calls for moving the concession stands in the area, rearranging the ball fields, putting in new fencing, regrading the area, moving the light poles, constructing new restrooms and redoing picnic shelter No. 2. Doing that in one phase would likely require about $2 million, Wilbanks said. However, the state grants require only the work be done See Forge, Page A4

Operation Christmas Child collecting local donations By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — With less than $20 and a shoebox, Rex Mansfield says local folks can help change millions of lives and bring joy to children who don’t have much to celebrate this holiday season. Mansfield is in his 10th — and final, he says — year overseeing Sevier County’s collection of contributions to Operation Christmas Child, an international effort

that provides small gifts to youngsters in need around the world. In his tenure he’s seen the program grow from a modest 250 boxes to 4,500. “It’s amazing where this thing has come,” Mansfield says. “It is absolutely phenomenal what that simple shoebox can do, too. I love this ministry. It is the only ministry that reaches kids all over the world in the neediest places.” See Child, Page A4

Don’t let the tough exterior of a motorcyclist fool you, says Dan Giammichele, president of the Smoky Mountain Chapter of Road Riders For Jesus. “A lot of people who see motorcyclists get a negative impression, but a lot of them are good Christian people,” he said. The local chapter of Road Riders For Jesus meets at 7 p.m. on the second Friday of each month at First United Methodist Church of Pigeon Forge. The non-denominational ministry “seeks to fulfill the great commission of the Lord by sharing the good news of salvation with others, especially those of the motorcycle world.” The group holds numerous fundraisers to benefit underprivileged children of Sevier County, such as a recent yard sale and parking cars during the Rod Run. “Every penny we raise goes to Sevier

County’s children,” said Giammichele. Road Riders For Jesus began in August 1999 when several Christian motorcyclists in the St. Louis, Mo., area came together to form a ministry. Since then, the nonprofit organization has grown to include more than 2,700 members and 80 chapters across the United States. Four other countries also have chapters. “It isn’t just about motorcycles,” Giammichele said. “It doesn’t matter what type of motorcycle you ride or if you even ride a motorcycle. We have a couple in our group that rides a scooter, and there’s a lady who follows us in her convertible.” The group proudly displays its emblem — which features a shield with a Bible, white dove and eagle — on jackets and other attire. “The eagle not only stands for the freedom to go out and preach the See Riders, Page A4

Newspapers want readers’ help with Web credibility ST. LOUIS (AP) — Publishing online creates a new set of problems for newspapers. Some people ask to have stories “unpublished,� while others leave nasty, unsigned comments on articles. Now some newspapers are appealing to their own readers for advice. The readers are taking part in six “Online Journalism Credibility� projects that were sponsored by the Associated Press Managing Editors group and detailed Thursday at APME’s conference in St. Louis. The public’s involvement suggests audiences care deeply about the credibility of newspapers, said Elaine Kramer, APME’s project manager. And it shows “that newsrooms are on the right track when they try to make journalism much more of a two-way conversation with readers,� she said. Readers are still getting used to seeing stories about them and people they

know get catalogued by search engines that don’t forget anything. The Toronto Star’s public editor, Kathy English, said she gets requests to take stories down about once a month. Even a former colleague once asked her to make some embarrassing news go away. She surveyed newspaper practices and found many editors viewed “unpublishing� as censorship. When she wrote a column asking readers their thoughts on 10 such requests faced by various newspapers in recent months, the views of most respondents were in line with editors’. The Knoxville News Sentinel held a community round table to explore troubling aspects of anonymous, racially charged Web comments that had been elicited by news coverage of a carjacking-rape-and-murder case. One community member described the comments as “toxic to the soul.�

The News Sentinel ran video of the community session and put several readers’ blog posts on its Web site. The newspaper is now more willing to strike abusive comments. “There’s not an easy answer,� said Jack Lail, the newspaper’s director of news innovation. “Some horrific comments do reflect readers in your community. The best we can do is set some kind of bar that communities are going to have to be above.� In Texas, The Victoria Advocate lets readers contribute blogs, comments, calendar items, photographs and even stories to the Web site. When the newspaper commissioned a study of 400 readers, gauging their trust of newsroom-generated content versus that submitted by readers, respondents appeared to value straight news much more than content with opinions, Editor Chris Cobler said.

Even with the amazing growth the effort has seen, Mansfield and Karen Hall, who is helping organize the local program, are working hard to push it even farther this year. They’ve sent out nearly 200 letters to local churches, groups and people seeking support, and will be working nearly non-stop between now and the end of this month to get everything together. Participation, they say, is simple. Those who want to help simply need to fill a shoebox or other similarlysized container with items including school supplies, toys, hygiene items and any other gifts they want to contribute. They then drop the box and a check for $7 to cover shipping at a participating church or at the River Plantation RV Park on the Parkway in Sevierville. A full list of acceptable

items is available on the Web site www.samaritanspurse.org, and on brochures provided to participating organizations. Hall also says folks can contribute money to help pay for shipping or make other donations, while Operation Christmas Child asks that those who take part pray for the child or children who will receive their gifts. “Whatever they can give would be appreciated,� she says. “A lot of these kids that get the shoeboxes have never had a gift in their lives. Samaritans Purse (the international Christian ministry that runs Operation Christmas Child) takes them to where ever the need is the greatest, so that may mean rural Appalachia or it might mean Myanmar.� Indeed, the group, which is run by the Rev. Franklin Graham who is the son of well-known evangelist Rev. Billy Graham, places itself in areas around the world where people are in need. That includes doing work

ing, the group voted to approve: n A bid for janitorial services and paper supplies for the Building Maintenance Department n Purchase of a computer and software to operate the HVAC system in the Community Center and library n Acceptance of a State Operating Assistance Grant from the Tennessee Department of Transportation for the Trolley Department n Purchase of a new pump for the Ridge Road lift station from Water and Waste Equipment n An agreement with Time Scape Consulting for a national register eligibility survey and a report for the Dollywood interchange project n An agreement with S&ME for a natural resources permitting for the trolley station project n An agreement with S&ME for geotechnical services for the trolley station project n An agreement with SSR for an archaeological survey at a possible location for the new wastewater treatment plant n Reappointments and new appointments to the Tourism Advisory Board n A contract with the AV Squad for fall 2009 through spring 2010 tourism filming and production of the city’s promotional videos n Considering the location of a traffic light at the intersection of the Parkway and Music Road.

Survivors: wife, Poppy Duckworth; sons, Devan Duckworth and Brett Knappen; father, Wayne Duckworth and wife Ann; brother and sister-inlaw, Tony and Hazel Duckworth; sister and brother-in-law, Tonia and Chris Hughes; one niece; one nephew; half-brother, David Duckworth; mother-inlaw, Joyce Lowe; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Stacey and David Campbell.

on the shelter and the restrooms, making the picnic area handicapped accessible and repairing facilities that have fallen into such a poor state city officials have been forced to bring in portable bathrooms. That would mean a bit less than a $1.5 million project, but would also cut the amount of the state’s grant to about $140,000, Wilbanks said. Additionally, the city has been awarded $196,500 for work on extending the Riverwalk from the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). That effort has run into questions about its future recently with agreements with the developers of Belle Island Village to allow the walking trail to access their bridges and property now in limbo with the failure of that undertaking. That money is also under threat, though not because the city is putting off the work. Rather, it’s the state’s budget crisis that may claim that cash if it’s not used or, at least, committed soon. “We are on life support now for the two grants we have from TDOT,� Wilbanks said. “We don’t know if we’re going to have them tomorrow. All we can do is move full-speed ahead.� That matter will also come up in the work session. During Monday’s meetn dhodges@themountainpress.com

What Road Riders has done for Julie and Don Cherry has been “unbelievable.� “We work strictly with the schools,� Don said of assisting the area’s underprivileged children. “What we can do is limited by funds, but we buy clothing and shoes for them. It’s critical that

Cops: Mechanic disabled cars

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee police say a mechanic was drumming up business by tampering with parked cars, then charging to help start them. Police arrested 41-yearold Christopher Walls of Johnson City on Thursday night. Investigators say Walls disabled cars parked at restaurants, waited for the owners to try to start them and then offered his services as a mechanic. Police say Walls charged between $40 and $200 to get the vehicles running again.

Gator lost at show and tell

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Officials say a Florida Panhandle Fish and Wildlife officer lost a 5-foot alligator after bringing it to his daughter’s school for show and tell. Searchers scoured a wooded area surrounding the school Friday afternoon. The alligator jumped out of the man’s vehicle Friday morning. The animal’s mouth was taped. Fish and Wildlife Spokesman Stan Kirkland says alligators have “amazing” jumping ability and that allowed it to escape.

Man sentenced to death in slaying By DUNCAN MANSFIELD Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — The convicted ringleader in the 2007 carjacking and torture slaying of a young Tennessee couple has been sentenced to death. Memphis native Lemaricus Davidson, 28, showed no reaction after jurors concluded four hours of deliberations and announced the sentence Friday in a case that raised racial tensions and inflamed Internet bloggers because the victims were white and the defendants are black. The same jury convicted

Davidson on Wednesday of more than 30 charges, including premeditated murder and felony murder, for the January 2007 attack on University of Tennessee student Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend Christopher Newsom, 23. “May you find peace with your maker,” Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner told Davidson after the sentence was read — the first death sentence by a Knox County jury since 1997. “That was hard for those 12 people to do, I know. It would not have been hard for me to do,” Christian’s father Gary Christian said of the jury sentence. “I have to ask the

The victims were on a date when they were carjacked from her sport utility vehicle by several armed men, including Davidson. They were taken to Davidson’s house, beaten and raped. Newsom was later shot and his body set on fire alongside some railroad tracks. Christian was raped over the next day and then stuffed into a garbage can in Davidson’s house, where she suffocated.

Worker to repay much of $29K tip

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A woman mistakenly tipped $29,000 by the University of Notre Dame in her catering paycheck will return more than half of the money in $50 monthly payments over the next 28 years. Notre Dame sued Sara Gaspar of Granger, Ind. to return the money because she should have been paid only $29.87 but a clerical error resulted in a check for $29,387 in April. Under a settlement filed in St. Joseph Circuit Court, Gaspar agrees to pay back nearly $17,000 in the monthly increments.

Anna Nicole Smith

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ordered Anna Nicole Smith’s boyfriend and two doctors to stand trial on charges of illegally funneling prescription drugs to the former Playboy model. The ruling Friday followed a three-week preliminary hearing to determine if there was enough evidence to try lawyer Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The charges included providing drugs to an addict. All three pleaded not guilty. Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry set arraignment for Dec. 11 on charges of conspiring to illegally provide Smith with drugs. “I think you’ve proven (Smith is) an addict,” Perry told prosecutors before making his ruling.

T h r e e CH e e r s Seymour Rotarians enlist aid in fight against polio

Obama close to the far left In the beginning, there was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a firebreathing Chicago preacher who believes America is a bad place. The reverend and Barack Obama were friends for 20 years. Radical Catholic priest Michael Pfleger, another Chicago cleric, was also part of the Obama neighborhood gang. Father Mike was the guy who mocked Hillary Clinton, portraying her as a white woman of entitlement. Then there was Bill Ayers, a casual acquaintance of Obama’s in Chicago. Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground, is unrepentant to this day about the group’s violent activities in the 1960s. Barack and Michelle Obama were also friends with Rashid Khalidi, a radical professor who routinely condemns Israel. Obama spoke at Khalidi’s farewell dinner in Chicago, just before the professor took a job at Columbia University. After being elected president, Obama appointed Carol Browner as director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy. Formerly, Browner was a leader in the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, a group that calls for “global governance.” It is an arm of the Socialist International organization. The president also hired Kevin Jennings as the safe schools czar. Jennings believes that sexual orientation lessons should begin in kindergarten. And, of course, there is Van Jones. The president brought him into the White House to be the green jobs czar. Unfortunately, Jones has a radical-left resume that includes support for the convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. He was forced to resign when the folks found out exactly how far out there the man really is. Judge Edward Chen might be on a par with Jones. On Aug. 7, the president nominated Chen for a lifetime federal judgeship in San Francisco. Chen used to be a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, and just a few days after the terror attack on 9/11, Chen stated he had a “sickening feeling in (his) stomach about what might happen to race relations and religious tolerance on our own soil. “One has to wonder whether the seemingly irresistible forces of racism, nativism and scapegoating which has (sic) recurred so often in our history can be effectively restrained.” Sounds a bit like the Rev. Wright, does it not? So what does all this tell us about Obama? Some conservatives say it indicates that the president is a committed far-left guy. I’m not so sure. What I am sure about is that the Obama administration hates to be associated with the far left and will hammer anyone who makes the link. If you want the bottom line on the White House/Fox News controversy, that’s it. But it is important to understand the precincts in which the president feels comfortable, and there is no question that he has snuggled up to the far left. Does that mean he’s Che Guevara in disguise? Not necessarily. But it does mean Obama is somewhat out of step with mainstream America. — 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?” To find out more about Bill O’Reilly, and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate web page at www.creators.com.

Most people were taught in grade school that Dr. Jonas Salk invented a polio vaccine in the 1950s. That, coupled with the March of Dimes turning its attention from polio to premature baby awareness and projects, probably gave most the false assumption the dreaded disease had been eradicated. The Seymour Breakfast Rotary Club points out that last year polio was endemic in four nations — Nigeria, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Seymour Rotarians, along with Rotarians nationwide, are taking the initiative to wipe out polio forever. The Seymour club has placed cans with special labels in businesses around the community. All money collected will be matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for polio eradication. A dose of polio vaccine costs only a dime, but in an endemic it takes at least six doses over a period of time to protect a child. Surely you can afford 60 cents. Drop some spare change into one of the Rotary Club’s cans and help to finish off the crippling disease.

Miss Ellie set her sights on $1 million grand prize

She’s baaaaaack! Miss Ellie, owned by Dawn Goehring of Gatlinburg and representing The Comedy Barn, has recently and officially been named one of the dozen semifinalists in the All American Pet Food Brands Cutest Dog Competition. The field will be cut to four on Nov. 12, with the winner being announced on Thanksgiving Day. Miss Ellie won Week 5 of the competition in an online voting contest, beating out thousands of dogs nationwide and winning a $500 prize that Goehring donated to the Sevier County Humane Society. The rules have changed and are somewhat hazy since the field has been pared, but the remaining dogs and their owners now have their eyes on the $1 million grand prize. Goehring has already announced that if Miss Ellie wins the grand prize, she will donate it to the humane society, whose building has peeling paint, leaking ceilings and cages that have to be hand-tied shut. We wish her the best of luck.

WSCC demonstrates why nursing program is tops

Walters State Community College recently demonstrated — with a demonstration of a new piece of training equipment — why it is recognized as one of the top nursing schools not only in Tennessee, but in the entire nation. The nursing department put on display and did an exercise with “Sim-Man,” a mannequin-like figure that simulates a real person and can present symptoms of various illnesses. Sim-Man cost approximately $50,000, made possible through community donations. Among the major donors were Emily Kile, Josephine Burchfiel, Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center and the Robert F. Thomas Foundation. The Sevierville campus got the advance version of the simulator. WSCC’s Morristown and Greeneville campuses received basic simulators that cost approximately $25,000 apiece. It is because of the willingness of the school to procure such equipment that it is recognized among the nation’s top 100 providers of nurses, with graduates consistently having first-try pass rates of more than 90 percent.

O t h e r VI e w s — T h e D a i ly T i m e s , M a r y v i l l e

Alexander could be on the right track In Newsweek magazine, Sen. Lamar Alexander has pointed out the possibility of a three-year solution to higher education. He noted that Hartwick College, a small liberal-arts school in upstate New York, offers well-prepared students: earn your undergraduate degree in three years (six semesters) instead of four, and save about $43,000 — the amount of one year’s tuition and fees. He reported that a number of innovative colleges are making the same offer to students anxious about saving time and money. Alexander compared a reinvention of higher education to benefit parents, students and schools

as an opportunity similar to the one the automobile industry’s Big Three had but ignored to their own great disadvantage. He quoted from the writings of George Romney, the upstart president of American Motors, who saw the Big Three as a “Shared monopoly ... musclebound and mindless in the domestic market — increasingly locked into practices that their best people knew were destructive but unable to break out of so profitable a syndrome.” Romney warned, “There is nothing more vulnerable than entrenched success.” ... With the increasing costs of a college education, Alexander may

be correct in thinking, “three years and you’re out, for better prepared students.” ... We would not want to rush teenagers into maturity. They should be allowed to enjoy growing up and developing into adults, preferably within range of desirable family relationships. However, at some point in time it may well be necessary to balance the economic situation with that of reaching adulthood. And in the course of it all, it might be practical for more students to work a year or become involved in a co-op program in which they work a real job while they are also learning for fewer

years in school. We think the real message from Alexander’s article is that we should give some consideration to more variable approaches to earning an undergraduate degree. Ideas may be the most valuable thing man has to contribute to society or his own future. By promoting this idea that others have placed into operation, Alexander may be making his most valuable contribution to education. ... From his varied experience with education we doubt he is blinded by the current success of higher education, similar to that once enjoyed by the Big Three.

Highlanders make it 4-straight over Tigers Benny Hammonds comes out on top of annual family rivalry By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Junior kicker Coty Young, assuming the place-kicking duties in the absence of injured Pigeon Forge sophomore mister-everything Chase Travis, connected on the PAT kick to give the underdogs in Orange and Black a 7-0 lead early. G-P senior KR Colin Meier answered with a nice return on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Highlanders excellent field position at the 50. On 2nd-and-3, G-P junior QB Tye Marshall connected deep down the right sideline with junior WR Ron Durbin for 27 yards to the Pigeon Forge 16. A few junior RB Dillon Reagan runs later, and G-P had a 2nd-and-goal from the 4 as time expired in the opening frame. On the second play of the second quarter, the Highlanders evened things up on the scoreboard when Reagan finished the drive off with a three-yard plunge with 11:19 in the half. Sophomore PK Brandon Merritt’s PAT kick was true, knotting it at 7-7. Pigeon Forge never led again, although the Tigers squad refused to go away all night. After the Orange went three-and-out punt on the ensuing possession, the Highlanders quickly worked for the go-ahead score. On 3rd-and-6 at the Tiger 34, Marshall again connected with Durbin short to the left side. Durbin picked up a crushing Hines Ward-style block from Meier and took it 22 yards to the Orange 12. One play later, Marshall connected with Meier on

GATLINBURG — The underdog Pigeon Forge Tigers kept the dream alive for three quarters Friday night, but in the end the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders were just too tough to tame as the Blue and Gold took Hammonds Bowl III by a 28-14 final. The teams combined for nine turnovers, playing on a muddy Hammonds Field that has yet to recover from the Austin-East mud bowl a couple of weeks ago, despite bringing a helicopter onto the field in an attempt to dry the playing surface Thursday. Like last year, the Tigers opened the game stronger than most expected, drawing first blood Friday night when Pigeon Forge senior WR Rodney Porter caught a short pass to the left from freshman QB Cory Fox. The Highlanders lost contain on the play, and Porter made them pay by gaining the edge and taking it 70 yards to paydirt with 2:46 in the first quarter. It was the first of several big plays turned in by Porter, who led Pigeon Forge with six catches for 164 yards and a score to go along with his two defensive interceptions and a fumble return for a score. “I’m proud of the way Rodney came here with an attitude that he was going to try to win this football game,” said Pigeon Forge coach Lee Hammonds. “He’s been a leader, he stepped up and made some big plays, See HAMMONDS BOWL, Page A9 and I’m proud of him.”

Gamecocks need Eagles end regular season on with better play to tough loss to Morristown West, 8-3 beat improved Tennessee Vols By RUSTY ODOM Sports Correspondent

MORRISTOWN — The Seymour Eagles found themselves on the losing end of a heart-wrenching 8-3 score against District 2-AAA opponent Morristown West (8-2, 6-1) Friday night at BurkeToney Stadium. “We had our chances,” Seymour head coach Jim Moore said of the close contest, which was decided on a fourth down play deep in Morristown West’s territory with under two minutes to go. “We’ve just gotta find a way to score.” Going into the game the Eagles (4-6, 3-4) knew they would be facing the most potent offense in the conference. The Seymour defense lived up to the coach’s pregame expectations, holding a Trojan team which averages over 300 yards of offense per game to just 190 yards from scrimmage. The Eagles kept the score within a single touchdown throughout the contest despite their offensive struggles. In fact, Seymour held the lead at the conclusion of the opening stanza. Eagle kicker Stephen Martin took advantage of a Morristown West fumbled punt by booting a lengthy 49-yard field goal with just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter.

By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Seymour returner Cory Clark (1) has done well returning kicks all season for the Eagles. Here he makes Cherokee defenders miss during last week’s win over the Chiefs. The Eagles stayed on top until Trojan sophomore quarterback Andrew Lee finally took advantage of several short field opportunities midway through the second quarter. Lee looked sharp on consecutive plays which were called back by penalties before he connected with junior wideout J.T. Ostrowski for a 22-yard score. It would be the only points allowed by the Eagle defense.

Though they played inside their own territory for much of the game, Seymour answered the call defensively over and over. Holding tightly to the three-point deficit, Seymour allowed the only other points of the game on special teams after a long snap sailed over Martin’s head and rolled into the end zone. Feeling the heat from the Trojan special teams unit, Martin wisely kicked the ball out of the end zone and

about 40 yards into the parking lot. The play resulted in a safety and made the score 8-3 in favor of the favored home team. And after hanging tough with the 7th-ranked team in the state until the very end, Seymour figures to be the last team an opponent will want to face in a first-round matchup. The 2009 TSSAA playoff schedule will be released on the organization’s website on Saturday, beween 8-10 a.m.

KNOXVILLE — Coach Steve Spurrier knows South Carolina’s gotten lucky lately. It’s going to take more than that, though, for the 21st-ranked Gamecocks (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) to survive the final stretch of their schedule. “I think all of our guys know to beat some good teams — and we are going to start playing some real good teams — we’ve got to be a lot sharper,” he said. “We still haven’t played up to our potential, but hopefully it’ll kick in here the last third of the season.” That starts with visiting a Tennessee team that does seem to be playing up to its potential. After a shaky start under first-year coach Lane Kiffin, the Volunteers (3-4, 1-3) are becoming more productive offensively and rank 10th in the nation defensively. In its past two games, Tennessee has soundly beaten SEC East rival Georgia and lost 12-10 to No. 2 Alabama on a gameending blocked field goal. “As you continue to

develop your relationship you figure out what motivates them, what exactly can they do best,” Kiffin said. “It’s why if you’re doing things right you keep improving — and we have, and we need to keep doing that.” The Gamecocks needed a few official reviews to overturn plays and a 99-yard drive capped by a 43-yard touchdown pass from Stephen Garcia to Alshon Jeffery to pull out a 14-10 win against Vanderbilt. The Vols own a 21-4-2 lead in the series and have won all but one of the 14 games played in Knoxville, and a win would be Kiffin’s first over a ranked opponent.

PERFECTION

Bryant Gilson hauled in three TD passes in the win.

3From Page A1

“Five touchdown passes tonight. Our offensive line did a great job protecting him, receivers played well and the defense came through in the second half. I was really proud of those guys in Purple tonight.� After a lackluster first half, the Smoky Bears seemed to come out with renewed vigor in the third quarter. It only took the team seven plays to drive 73 yards for a go-ahead touchdown on the opening possession of the half, as Flynn found receiver Bryant Gilson for a 13-yard TD. Jared Baxter’s pointafter put the score at 24-20. But the visiting Hurricanes weren’t giving up, and the team used their QB option running game to march down the field on their ensuing possession. Morristown East signalcaller Cody Ricker set up the TD drive with six carries for 49 yards, and running back Travis Blanton punched the ball into the end zone from two yards out to put the Hurricanes back in front 27-24. From there it was all Sevier County. The Bears took the lead early in the fourth quarter as Flynn again found Gilson, this time from 11 yards out, to cap a short drive following a botched East punt attempt. With the lead at 31-27, fate smiled on the Bears as Morristown East misplayed a chip-shot kickoff. The Smoky Bears’ Danny Chastain recovered the Tyler Wischer kick, giving

the Purple the ball right back in Hurricane territory. “We were supposed to (kick) it a little bit deeper, he just kind of hit it a little bit flat, and Danny Chastain hustled down and got on it,� Brewer said. Five plays later Flynn found receiver Bryce Whaley in the end zone for an 18-yard strike, giving the team a two-score lead with 8:13 left on the clock. When Morristown East got the ball back trailing by 11 points, it became obvious the Hurricane offense

would struggle in a forced passing game. Still trying to bank on their quarterback running the ball, the Morristown East team met resistance in the form of Smoky Bear defenders Issac McMahan, Robert Whitelaw and Kel McCarter, all of whom got in on tackles behind the line of scrimmage. With a 3rd-and-10, Ricker tried a pass, but it was broken up by Jeremiah Foster, forcing a fourth down attempt from the Hurricanes’ own 43-yard line.

Moments later the Smoky Bear faithful were sent into a frenzy as Thomas Hamilton and Brandon Tinker combined to sack Ricker in the backfield, turning the ball over to the Smoky Bears on downs with under five minutes on the clock. Three first downs later, as the game clock reached all zeroes, the Smoky Bears wrote their names in the SCHS record book as the first Purple-and-White team to finish the regular season undefeated. “I’m really proud of our

defense in the second half, stepping up the way they did,� Brewer said. “In the first half we just weren’t on assignment, basically, but I was grateful for how we played the second half. Offensively we came through, scored some big points. We gave up a couple of turnovers, but then we made some big plays.� In addition to Flynn’s standout game at quarterback, several other Bears turned in huge performances. Bryant Gilson ended the night with three touchdowns on seven catches for 86 yards. Fellow receiver Bryce Whaley reeled in six balls for 142 yards and a touchdown. Jeremiah Foster had six catches for 80 yards and Kel McCarter had one catch for a threeyard touchdown in the first half. Josh Johnson recorded an interception on the first play of the game, which led to the Smoky Bears’ first touchdown drive of the contest. McCarter led the team with 12 tackles, including three for loss and one sack. McMahan added 11 tackles, including two for loss, and teammate Matt Spangler made 10 stops. Foster made only three tackles in the game, but all three were behind the Hurricane line of scrimmage. Ricker was the Hurricanes’ only standout

performer in the game. The normally second-team quarterback ran the QB option to perfection all night, carrying the ball 31 times for 210 yards and a score. “Those guys in Purple need congratulations,� Brewer said. “We had to fight hard. Hats off to Morristown East. They were without (starting QB Tee) Howell, which is a big part of their offense. I thought Ricker played a great game.� Brewer also talked about the group of seniors on the ‘09 team and what they have gone through in their career as Smoky Bears to get to this historic season. “A lot of these guys were sophomores when we struggled in ‘07, and they played a lot last year, when we got off to a great start and then we faltered,� Brewer said. “They’re just good kids. They work hard. You saw how they pulled together when things started getting tight. It’s something I’ve never gone through as a coach, and I’m just so proud for (the assistant coaches). They work extremely hard. I’m the head coach, but our assistant coaches do 99-percent of the coaching, and they’ve done a terrific job coaching their positions, and (the players) did a terrific job responding.� Sevier County’s playoff position will be determined by the TSSAA and announced Saturday morning.

a fade to the left side of the end zone with 8:03 in the half. Merritt’s kick made it 14-7, the score at intermission. Pigeon Forge kept the dream of upset glory alive to start the third quarter. After G-P picked up a first down near midfield, Porter stepped in front of a Marshall pass at the Tiger 47 and returned it to the Highlander 49 with 9:56 in the third quarter. On the next play, a big G-P personal foul penalty gave the Tigers a first down at the Blue-and-Gold 35. But thoughts of tying the game were extinguished a couple plays later, Fox had trouble handling the snap and G-P junior Bill Huskey — his first of two fumble recoveries on the night — came up with the loose ball at the Highlander 38 with 9:06 in the third. Two plays later, Reagan blasted through the 5-hole and broke it for a 55-yard score with 8:20 in the third, giving G-P some breathing room at 21-7. The Tigers didn’t quit, though. Later in the period, Reagan took a sweep right and got clobbered near the sideline, although he landed on the defender’s body and never was declared down. The ball popped loose right in front of Porter, who scooped it up and returned it 25 yards to paydirt with 4:07 in the third. It was Porter’s second score of the game, but more importantly the Tigers grabbed some momentum by cutting

the G-P edge to 21-14. But the Blue and Gold responded again on the ensuing possession. Reagan seemed determined to make up for his fumble by churning out yards and first downs, through mud and arm tackles. But it was Marshall to Durbin that finished the drive with a 19-yard pass play that made it the eventual final.

Marshall rolled right and dropped a beautiful strike to Durbin, streaking to the right rear corner of the end zone with 33 seconds in the third quarter. Durbin finished the night with 167 receiving yards on eight grabs, while Reagan finished with 131 yards rushing on 26 totes. G-P is waiting to here its playoff date, TBA by TSSAA

on Saturday. The Tigers just hope to see their names on the list for the playoffs, although they realize it is a long shot.

Tina’s Groove

Dear Annie: My husband’s parents are wonderful people in their late 70s, but I am concerned that their kindness is being abused by my brother-in-law, “Dan,” and his wife, “Jane.” Mom and Dad have always been involved in their grandchildren’s lives, but lately it has become taxing for them both physically and mentally. Dan and Jane call on them for baby-sitting day and night. Often they drop the three kids off the evening before. My inlaws always oblige, even though the youngest is not even a year old. Last spring, Dan lost his job. He now is home all day, but the kids are still with Grandma and Grandpa a lot of the time. Twice in the last two months, Dan and Jane strolled in well after 1:00 a.m. and my in-laws had to drive themselves home in the wee hours. Saturday, Dan dropped the kids off at Mom’s while he went golfing with a neighbor. Yet he complains that they don’t have enough money to hire a sitter. I have taken Dan’s kids when my schedule allows, but I think it is irresponsible for them to expect his parents to be their children’s caregivers. I have been biting my tongue, but it is obvious to everyone that they are taking advantage of his parents. Should I speak up? I don’t want to cause a family feud. — Fuming Over Freeloaders Dear Fuming: Your husband should talk to his brother, explaining that it’s becoming difficult for Mom and Dad

to take care of such young children, and urge him not to count on them so often. You are a caring daughter-in-law, but to a great extent, this is up to Grandma and Grandpa. Until they decide they’ve had enough, there’s not much you can do. Dear Annie: My brother “Tim” passed away from cancer two months ago. He had never married. Within hours, my younger brother and his wife actually went through Tim’s house and took what they wanted. My own mother kept all the money from his sympathy cards instead of using it to help pay for a headstone. Even before the funeral, several family members took over Tim’s house and property and went through his personal things. Whatever they didn’t want, they handed to whoever was around. I live several states away, and right now, I don’t ever want to speak to these relatives again. Your thoughts, please. — It’s Hard Enough To Lose a Loved One Dear Hard Enough: Some people behave in appalling ways when a loved one dies. What seems like greed could also have been a way for family members to keep something of Tim’s

t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

to remember him by, although your mother’s behavior is hard to excuse. Please try to find a way to forgive them. Dear Annie: Touche to “Put Some Clothes On,” who complained about the way some women dress. If one of my girls looked like a burlesque queen, she wouldn’t get past me, let alone out the front door. I’ve taught my daughters, granddaughters and greatgranddaughters: “If you advertise, it means you have something to sell.” — Great-Grandma in Sarasota, Fla. Dear Grandma: Cheers to you. We’re sure no one even tried escaping out your back door. Dear Readers: Happy Halloween. Please dress your trick-or-treaters in flame-retardant costumes that don’t obstruct walking or vision, and be sure an adult accompanies them. And when you tuck them into bed, don’t forget to change your clocks back one hour and replace the batteries in your smoke alarms.

COACHES

3From Page A1

has set in place back in the winter — subtle changes and subtle differences in what we’re doing — is every bit the reason why we’re here.� In his 18 seasons as head coach at Sevier County, Brewer has seen just about everything possible from sidelines of Burchfield Stadium. From helping his first team in the fall of 1992 rebounding from a losing ‘91 with a 7-3 record to winning the state championship seven years later, about the only thing the coach hasn’t seen is a perfect regular-season campaign. This year, with a combination of good players and great coaching, Brewer can add that accomplishment to his resume. The results of the great season have had a staggering effect on the team. “I think it’s re-energized everybody,� Loveday said. “That strong focus and us winning some close games — I can care less what their records are — you beat Halls on the road, D-B on the road

and Morristown West on the road, you start to have a little confidence. “As we started winning some of those, the more fun started coming into it. It’s a whole lot more fun when you’re beating people. And (the players) bought into pressing ourselves and taking criticism, because they know the results on Friday are a lot more fun.� Loveday places most of the praise on his head coach and what Brewer’s core beliefs have done for all the players he’s coached since Loveday’s senior season in 1992. “I remember my junior year we went 3-7 after being in the playoffs the previous four years, and the head coach at the time got fired,� Loveday said. “We had maybe 25 players on the varsity, it was just one of those down years. We hear all the candidates for the job — it was kind of a hot place to be. “Coach Brewer came in first meeting he had with us, and it was almost like we had an immediate trust with him. Coach Brewer’s patience — you automatically trust the guy — he just has that aura about him.

“And to this day, since I’ve known him, I’ve never caught him in anything hypocritical, anything dishonest. I’ve never heard a foul word out of his mouth. If he says it, he does it. And he’s been the best coach you could ever imagine to work for. He completely trusts his staff to do their jobs. “For young coaches and old coaches alike, he’s been a great role model. I have two little girls, and if one day I ever had a boy, who better would I want my kid to play for than Steve Brewer? Not only in the X’s and O’s of football, but just the life lessons that he walks. He talks it, but more importantly he walks it a lot more. He has to say very little for you to know what he’s all about.â€? What he’s about is shaping young men, not just on the football field, but for life. “We’re lucky to have him for sure,â€? Loveday said. In addition to Brewer, the AD also reaped praise on his fellow assistant coaches. • Coach Jonathan Brewer (WR/Special teams) — “Jonathan is probably one of the best young offensive minds around here. He’s an up-and-comer. He underChapter 7 •

stands the passing game as well as any young person I’ve been around. It’s hard for someone around his age to be a disciplinarian type, but he’s found himself in that role, and the players look up to him. He’s a great young mind. • Coach Kenny Ratledge (Defensive Coordinator) — “He’s the most thorough coach I’ve ever been around — high school or college — as far attention to detail and ingame adjustments. He prepares against an 0-8 team just like he prepares against an 8-0 team. He’s a really good teacher of the game of football.â€? • Coach Tony Linginfelter (Offensive Coordinator) — “He understands what defenses are trying to do to you, what they’re trying to take away, and he sees stuff within the game before you realize what they’re doing. He’s very thorough on protections and real hard on execution.â€? • Coach Garrett Young (LBs) — “(Because of his college playing experience at linebacker) he’s been there done that, as far as how linebackers should play. He’s an intense guy, and the kids

kind of gravitate toward him. They like his personality.â€? • Coach Dustin Huffaker (CBs) — “He’s really similar to Jonathan Brewer in the fact that he’s real highintensity. He trusts his players, where an older coach might be afraid to put them in certain situations. He’s got a really good defensive mind, and he’s confident, not intimidated at all.â€? • Coach Joey Mathews (QBs) ­â€” “Of course, anybody across the state will tell you coach Steve Brewer is probably the best quarterback coach to ever be, and for him to turn them over to Joey like he has, that shows the confidence coach Brewer has in him. I think he gives another angle. He played at a high level (at UT) with some high level players. He’s been a good presence and a good role model.â€? • Coach Bill Galloway (O-Line) — “If you’re in an altercation you want him on your side. Players gravitate toward him, and I can’t imagine an offensive line coach being any better. He really loves kids, he wants to see kids excel. He can wear them out in one segment, and the next second he’s giv-

ing them a hug. He’s been around good football his whole life.â€? • Coach Richard Gray (DEs) — “Coach Gray made an impression last year. He came in and took a few guys not getting reps and worked on technique with them for an hour. He’s done a good job of keeping kids (playing) and getting kids individual work that probably wouldn’t ordinarily get it.â€? • Bryan Atchley (TEs) — “Bryan came my senior year, he volunteer coached. So he’s been with the program a long time. The kids automatically like him. He’s got a positive personality and he never says negative words to anybody. The kids love him. He’s an energetic football coach.â€? • Freshmen coaches Chuck Field, Jordan Brewer and Kevin Hurst — “Chuck Field has to be the most experienced and knowledgable head coach on the freshmen level against anybody we play. He knows the rules inside and out, and they make it fun. At the same time when (varsity) gets them, the (freshmen) know what’s going on.â€? mpsports@themountainpress.com

Pakistanis confront Clinton over drone attacks ISLAMABAD (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was confronted repeatedly by Pakistanis Friday as she ended a tense threeday tour of the country, chastised by one woman who said a U.S. program using aerial drones to target terrorists amounted to “executions without trial.� On another thorny topic, Clinton slightly softened her blunt charge of a day earlier that Pakistani officials know where al-Qaida terrorists are hiding and are doing little about it. Clinton faced sharp questions from Pakistani civilians about the U.S. effort that uses unmanned aircraft to launch missiles to kill terrorists along the porous, ungoverned border with Afghanistan.

But she refused to go into detail about the classified strikes that have killed both key terror leaders and bystanders, long a source of outrage among Pakistan’s population despite an equally deadly campaign of militant-spawned bombings. Asked repeatedly about the drones, a subject that involves highly classified CIA operations, Clinton said only that “there is a war going on.� She added that the Obama administration is committed to helping Pakistan defeat the insurgents. Clinton left Islamabad for Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates after a tour that was rocked at the start by a devastating terrorist bombing in Peshawar that killed 105 people, many of them women and children.

Her visit revealed clear signs of strain between the two nations despite months of public insistence that they were on the same wavelength in the war on terror. What is less apparent is what U.S. officials hope will come from Clinton’s tough language about Pakistani officials’ failure to eliminate al-Qaida as a threat within their borders. While her remarks echo the skepticism that many Americans have felt about Pakistan’s failure to target al-Qaida’s leaders, it is not at all certain that they will prod stepped-up action. Pakistan’s military recently launched a major offensive in the South Waziristan border area to clear out insurgent hideouts. But two earlier army efforts made little progress.

Path clearing for House to pass health bill WASHINGTON (AP) — They may not like it, but many House liberals look ready to accept a compromise health care bill, putting Democratic leaders well on the way to delivering on President Barack Obama’s call for overhaul. After claiming for months they couldn’t vote for a bill without the strongest possible governmentrun insurance option, liberals are putting aside their disappointment over the weaker version in the legislation for a historic chance to remake America’s medical system.

“The current language is far weaker than what I would have preferred, and I think that is also true of the Progressive Caucus,� Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said Friday. “But because I did not come up here to participate in gridlock and acrimony, I have told leadership that I am willing to compromise.� Obama privately told House liberals they should chalk up a win. Leaders from the Progressive, Black, Hispanic and Asian-Pacific American caucuses met at the

Max Richardson Jewelers

White House Thursday evening with Obama, who listened to their concerns and praised their efforts. “He looked at us and he said, ’You guys ought to be walking around like you won because you brought back the public option,�’ said Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif. He was referring to the fact that prospects for any kind of government-run option looked grim after August’s angry town halls. House floor debate could begin late next week on the sweeping bill that extends coverage to 96 percent of Americans, imposes

new requirements on individuals and employers to get insurance and provides subsidies for lowerincome people. The bill includes a new public insurance plan that would pay providers and hospitals rates negotiated by the Health and Human Services secretary. Liberals had pushed for payment rates to be tied to Medicare, which they argued would mean lower costs to consumers and the federal government. But moderates’ concerns that those lower rates would hurt hospitals and other providers in their districts

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two sophomore girls have sued their school district after they were punished for posting sexually suggestive photos on MySpace during their summer vacation. The American Civil Liberties Union, in a federal lawsuit filed last week on behalf of the girls, argues that Churubusco High School violated the girls’ free speech rights when it banned them from extracurricular activities for a joke that didn’t involve the school. They say the district humiliated the girls by requiring them to apologize to an all-male coaches’ board and undergo counseling.

Stocks swoon as worries about the economy return NEW YORK (AP) — Grim signals about consumer spending ripped through the markets Friday, sending stocks tumbling as investors raced for safe havens. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Nasdaq composite index ended with losses for October, breaking a streak of seven straight months of gains. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 250 points, erasing a 200-point gain Thursday and ending the month flat. Drops in key barometers of the health of consumers — what they’re spending, what they’re earning and how they’re feeling — fanned worries that an economic recovery celebrated by the market only a day earlier won’t last. The heaviest selling Friday came in areas that have been stalwarts of the market’s powerful rally since March: financials, technology, energy
