Sevierville first city to kick off 2009 Winterfest
The Tennessee Department of Education released its 2009 Report Card, which declared the Sevier County School System in “Good Standing” on Tuesday. The report card is organized into the following sections: System/School Profile, No Child Left Behind (Adequate Yearly Progress or AYP), Achievement, Value Added (Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System data), Attendance and Graduation, Discipline, Teacher Quality, Special Education, and Career and Technical Education. This year’s report card demonstrates fundamental See schools, Page A5
By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — With a perfect November evening as the backdrop, people started arriving early Tuesday for the “Music, Lights and Magic,” the kickoff for Smoky Mountain Winterfest in the city. The event at the Municipal Complex included activities for children, along with free food, entertainment, fireworks and Mayor Bryan Atchley activating the city’s Winterfest light display to start the Winterfest season. It’s the 20th year for Winterfest, which kicks off in Gatlinburg today and in Pigeon Forge Thursday. For the first time, Winterfest will also include an event at Smokies Stadium, as it hosts a “Christmas Wonderland.” That event, which features a drive-through light show synchronized to music, will require admission, but the proceeds will benefit a local charity. Amanda Marr, marketing director for the Chamber of Commerce, and Kelly Stahlke of the city of Sevierville helped to put the event together. “It’s a big undertaking, but I think people really enjoy it,” Marr said. The city always tries to add some new twists to the event, and the latest was a Holiday Cookie Contest. City personnel also built a new switch for Atchley to Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press use in turning on the lights, and Santa got a new ride Santa waits at the end of the Enchanted Forest, a display of themed trees.

Aldermen show reservations about road to new school By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen is still willing to talk with school officials about the possibility of building a road to a planned high school alongside Catlettsburg Elementary School, but reservations about the idea appeared to be growing Monday. The board discussed that proposal at a workshop before its regular meeting.
The concept calls for the city to extend a new road from Highway 66 back to the site; the county and city would split the estimated $3.5 million cost of the road. “This is still very preliminary,” City Administrator Steve Hendrix said. The school system hasn’t approached the owners of some property yet. Some property is also owned by the family of Mayor Bryan Atchley, who left the room while the item was discussed during the workshop.
Several aldermen objected to paying half the cost, because most of the proposed road would actually be outside the city limits. However, Hendrix noted the most expensive work is actually inside the city — access to Highway 66, as well as turn lanes and additional lanes, would be within the city or mostly inside the city. If the city paid for the portion inside its limits on its own, instead of splitting the total cost, he said it could cost more than the $1.75 million the city is being
asked to pay. The school system approached the city in part because the city already plans to build a north leg of Veterans Boulevard, which would eventually connect to Highway 66. Those plans are on hold, though, and aldermen noted it would be years before they could even put them into the budget. Aldermen asked Hendrix to see if the county would object to the city annexing all of the property.
They also asked Public Works Manager Bryon Fortner and Attorney Ed Owens to review a proposed contract for customers using the city’s commercial solid waste disposal service. During the regular meeting, the board: n Approved closing part of Court Avenue for the Veterans Day ceremonies Nov. 11 n Purchased six police cruisers n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Police: Elderly woman a con artist Public urged to not help pro panhandler Submitted reports Sevierville police are warning persons not to assist an elderly female seen in the area of WalMart and trolley stops. “She will stay in those areas in order to get money from people,� Police Sgt. Rebecca Cowan said. She identified the woman as Edna Wilson,
age around 80, whom she described as a professional panhandler and con artist. “She is from Florida and did the same thing down there,� Cowan said. “She has a lot of bags and uses that to draw attention to her. She will then make you feel sorry for her and will convince you to put her up at a hotel. She will not leave when her time is up.� Cowan said several people have taken Wilson in. She then becomes
unhappy and demands a hotel room. “When they refused, she stayed with them a few days and then would not leave. I got her an apartment six weeks ago and she turned it down. She has gone from church to church with different stories,� Cowan said. Agencies in the area are no longer helping her, Cowan said. “Please do not be her next victim,� Cowan said. “She does have money, but gets others to pay
her bills. She is living the life that she wants and is getting others to pay for her choices. She has been kicked out of Knoxville and will leave Sevier County as soon as people stop giving her rooms and money.� Cowan urges persons not to offer Wilson assistance of any kind and urges hotels not to provide her rooms. She already has been banned from using trollies. For more information call Cowan at 453-5507.

portion of the profit. The contract also requires that the city submit regular reports, then remit the county’s portion of the income. County leaders have said the most of the reporting has been ignored by both cities, with little documentation provided and no money paid in. During Monday’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) meeting — the first public response from either city — Hendrix took issue with the county’s complaints, insisting city leaders were told by county officials that the documentation wouldn’t be needed because there likely wouldn’t be much if any profit. Further, Hendrix claims county leaders have put a rush on securing the information while they are forming their own water department, pushing city staffers about getting the information they previously said they didn’t need and had never asked for. Waters disagrees with that claim, pointing out the cities should have been keeping
up with the information all along as described under the contract. However, Waters conceded there might be some truth to one issue raised during the BOMA session. Some city leaders are apparently concerned that, even as county officials create friction with their demands and the threatening letter, there may soon be new calls for water service to countyinstalled lines. During the BOMA meeting, Sevierville Water Department Director Steve Flynn said city employees have been notified the county will soon be installing two new lines that will require service from the city. Waters said he’s not aware of what impending projects Flynn was referring to, but pointed out city and county officials have already agreed Sevierville will provide service to a water line extension on Jayell Road. Beyond that, Waters said there may be areas already served by county water lines that are
growing. “I know there are constantly people asking that they be allowed to tie on to county lines,” Waters said. “I don’t know specifically what (the Sevierville officials) are talking about or if that’s what they mean.” There is a list of possible future projects the Water Commission has compiled that includes efforts like installing a line out Chapman Highway that would likely need to be served by Sevierville. However, no one has discussed those with city leaders, Waters said.

The issue of the contract between the cities of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, and the county, first came up during a meeting of the county’s Water Commission a couple of months ago. During that session, commissioners voted unanimously to send a letter to the cities warning them if the information they need and the revenues from the operation of the county’s water line aren’t provided, the county would be “forced to consider necessary actions to achieve a solution.” To those on the committee, that meant legal action. In that document, signed in 1997 by Sevierville officials, the cities agree to provide water to lines installed to unincorporated areas by the county. Under the deal, the cities would also maintain the pipes and handle administration for the service. In exchange, they would be allowed to keep a

Bredesen: Stimulus hides budget woes NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Phil Bredesen said the influx of federal stimulus money has “concealed” the extent of Tennessee’s budget woes and he is asking state departments to plan for six percent spending cuts when he holds budget hearings later this month. Bredesen told reporters after a speech Monday that he will also ask agencies to plan for a further three percent in cuts in case poor economic conditions require them. “The political prob-
lem is that last February I probably could have passed any known cut because everybody knew we were in the middle of a major crisis,” Bredesen told reporters. “The stimulus has kind of concealed what’s been going on in terms of the revenues.” Lawmakers this year passed a $29.6 billion budget for the budget year that began July 1, including $2.2 billion in federal stimulus money. The state share of the spending plan — $12.1 billion — represented a more than 10 percent
reduction from the previous budget year. Bredesen said the new round of cuts will be tough because agencies are already operating under last year’s reductions. “These are very painful cuts, but we’ve got to get through this,” Bredesen said. “There’s no alternative to it.” Officials project the state’s tax base won’t return to 2008 levels until at least 2014, Bredesen said. In a speech to the Nashville Health Care Council he
presented a grim picture of Tennessee’s finances until revenues recover. “At that point we will have given state employees no raises for five years, we will have drawn down our reserves substantially, our pension fund will be very frayed around the edges,” said Bredesen, whose term ends in January 2011. “We will have made no major investments in new initiatives for five or six years.” “There’s an enormous hole to dig out of,” he said.

commentary
Not so easy when flags cover coffins Former U.S. Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, who as a Marine pilot had flown 59 combat missions during World War II and an additional 90 missions in Korea — where in airto-air combat during that war’s last nine days, alone, he had shot down three Soviet MiG fighter planes — knew firsthand the suffering of war. So the plain words John Glenn spoke in the Senate on Jan. 22, 1997, about what he called “the Dover test” are worth recalling: “It’s easy to see the flags flying and the people go off to war, and the bands play and the flags fly. And it’s not quite so easy when the flag is draped over a coffin coming back through Dover, Delaware.” Waiting until after midnight to leave the White House, President Barack Obama traveled to Delaware, and there in the pre-dawn darkness on Oct. 29, 2009, he personally took “the Dover test.” The most momentous of national decisions — to send American citizens into combat — ought to first be subjected to the Dover test, which according to former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Hugh Shelton, begins with whether “the American public (is) prepared for the sight of our most precious resource coming home in flag-draped caskets.” The scene, so familiar to older generations, where the military pallbearers in their white gloves so respectfully carry the caskets bearing the human remains of the fallen -- and where the families and loved ones mourned, but were also comforted by the ceremonial care — had been banned from public view since 1991 until the Obama administration changed the policy to allow families to decide whether the solemn occasion could be covered. The scene at Dover is no ordinary picture. No, Dover is truly the portrait of sacrifice and of human loss. Statistics do not bleed. Real sons and real fathers — and, yes, real sisters -- bleed. And they die. However any of us might feel about the wisdom of the decision to go to war or of how that war has been waged, all of us need to appreciate — and to share — the grief and pain of the human cost of war. The president of the United States is not just the commander in chief. The president is also the comforter in chief. That is what President Ronald Reagan was when, after 241 American servicemen, mostly U.S. Marines, were killed by a terrorist attack on their Beirut barracks, he went to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to honor those killed, to comfort those who survived and to give voice to the national grief. War’s endless expense in human suffering ought not to be shielded from either public view or from public responsibility. President Obama, during his winning campaign, promised to make Washington more “transparent” and more “accountable.” At 4 a.m. on Oct. 29, as he stood silently by as six soldiers carried the remains of Army Sgt. Dale R. Griffin of Terre Haute, Ind., back to American soil and to those who mourned him, President Obama made both himself, and the national government he leads, more responsible and made the reality of war more transparent. At Dover, he personally met with and consoled — in their time of profound sorrow — the families of 18 fallen Americans. No form letter or phone call. Just human being to human being. As John Glenn said: “It’s easy to see the flags flying and the people go off to war, and the bands play and the flags fly. And it’s not quite so easy when the flag is draped over a coffin coming back through Dover, Delaware.” Barack Obama, by choosing the “not quite so easy” path, has earned his nation’s thanks. — Mark Shields is a veteran political campaign manager and frequent television talk show commentator.

Editorial
False start
TSSAA playoff bracket snafu inexcusable and unacceptable There is no truth to the rumor that the people who created the state high school football playoff brackets also wrote the 1,000-page-plus health care reform bill. That’s just a shot at the folks with the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association who spent three years coming up with playoffs brackets that were so brilliantly conceived that they were taken down from the association’s Web site not long after they were posted last Saturday morning. The TSSAA was apologetic over the whole snafu, which was little consolation to schools that saw their seedings changed from one set of brackets to the next. The Southeastern Conference may have gagged coaches to stop them from criticizing referees, but the TSSAA apparently doesn’t have that kind of power over coaches and athletic directors in the high schools. It would be hard to find a coach here or across Tennessee who thinks the change in how playoffs are determined and who gets in was a change for the better.
Benny Hammonds, who has been around Gatlinburg-Pittman football since the school started playing the sport, was among those grumbling last weekend. The Highlanders went from a No. 1 seed in the first set of brackets to a No. 3 seed in the final version. Hammonds is too classy to point fingers or raise charges, but you can’t help but wonder if the brackets might have been changed to accommodate the squeakiest wheels among the member schools — the ones who complained the loudest about the original seedings. Much of the drive behind the drastic change to the way playoffs are decided surely is about money. The association says it tried to develop seedings to keep schools from having to travel so far for early round games. It also wanted a playoff system that didn’t include so many teams with losing records. Noble goals, to be sure, but what they came up with is a system so darn complicated that it baffles the very people it was designed to enlighten. There are
some 200 teams in the playoffs and we’ll eventually have eight — eight — state champs. That’s a lot of games and a lot of money to be made for the association. Some teams made the playoffs through a wild card system based on a series of tiebreakers. Rather than everybody knowing heading into the final week or two of the season whether they’d be in the playoffs or not and what they had to do to earn a spot, many schools were confused by the system and didn’t know for sure until they saw the brackets Saturday morning. And last weekend that wasn’t even good enough for some teams that didn’t know for sure until mid-afternoon when the revised brackets were posted. Tennessee schools need and deserve a playoff system for football that makes sense, not one that requires consultation with the math and science faculty. This three-year project to make it better has failed, however sincere the effort was. The TSSAA should be at work now to come up with a system that really works and serves the best interests of the schools.

Editor: We have been visiting your area with short vacations for many years. I’ve been retired three years, and with my wife’s retirement in June we had the opportunity to return for an extended stay, August through October. During this visit we encountered the usual problems that occur. At home we have our own problem helpers. Here we are at the mercy of strangers. However, we have found that you have the same good people that we can depend on. Just to mention a few; Goforth Tire Service, Skip’s RV Service, Eddie McCarter at Alderbranch Mini-Storage and Garage and especially John Neel the mechanic there. John is a fair, honest and most reasonable
mechanic, who helped us tremendously. Due to our problems, we encountered people that are no longer strangers but people we count as good trustworthy friends. Also thanks to Riverside RV Park’s management and staff. All have made our first extended stay a most pleasurable experience. Steve and Jeannette Coker Honea Path, S.C.
Museum director thanks officials for support of county history
Editor: Thank you, County Mayor Larry Waters and Sevier County Commission members, for the decision you made a few months ago to preserve a piece of Sevier County history by setting aside funds to repair the old Sevierville Post Office building.
Because of that decision, a building which was falling into disrepair is now an asset and wonderful showcase of the county’s history, thanks to many repairs. Your decision in 1994 to allow the building to house a museum of local history has been positive for the community. From Boy Scouts to school groups to senior citizens, the museum is a place where people enjoy learning about the place they live. Thank you for setting aside a place for a museum and your support through the years. Everyone, please come by Thursday at 4 p.m. to celebrate the Sevier County Heritage Museum’s grand reopening and visit the exhibits. We are located at the corner of Bruce Street and the Parkway. It is an honor to work and welcome visitors to the museum. Everyone is invited to the open house. Patsy Bradford Museum Director

Highlanders’ hoop squad hopes for some hardware
PREP HOOPS
By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — Hopes are high in Highlander country ... and not just for the football team. The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders hoops squad has made some noise this offseason with the addition of four talented transfer students, but the Blue and Gold are happy to see that the beginning of the season is less than two weeks away and all attention can finally be paid to the hardcourt. There have been wild rumors and speculation tossed around carelessly about why four talented students would want to transfer to G-P, but Placeres said it should come as no surprise to anyone. “This won’t be the first or last time someone is going to want to transfer here,” said Placeres. “They come here for a great education, and for a good sports program. “There’s reasons why kids would want to transfer here. We’ve got some of the best academics in the county, the Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press state, really.

asked if I would give them a chance,” said Placeres. “I laid it out for them what they needed to do, they worked their butts off in school all summer, they earned it and now they’re part of our team.” And what a team it figures to be with the four new guys combined with the lone returning Highlander starter in senior McKinley Maples, who will round out the projected starting five for the Blue and Gold this season. Maples figures to top the 1,000-point career plateau this year, barring any injury. There is some depth to go along with the talent on the G-P roster. Seniors Drew Barton and Jake Jackson, junior Jon McCroskey, sophomore Brandon Stewart and 6-foot-3, 185-pound freshman Davis Soehn figure to play a key role in Highlander success this hoops season. “I’m very excited,” said Placeres. “But no more excited than I was last year at this time. “The great thing about this program is that we’ve gone from a four-win season four years ago, to 13 wins under coach Spencer Beaty, to 16 wins my first season and 18 wins last year. “We’ve gotten better each year. We’ve been busting our tails, and we’ve been able to win here without a lot of true basketball talent.
“Now we’ve got some talent, and the sky is the limit for this team. But now that we have the athletic ability on the court, it’s just a matter of putting it all together to become a unit, a team.” The influx of talent couldn’t have come at a better time for the Highlanders, with the team moving into a new and much tougher district this season. G-P will have to play the likes of the back-to-back state champs in Fulton, last year’s 27-2 Austin-East, Carter with its two potential Division I players and last year’s Union squad that finished with more than 20 wins. “But I expect us to compete,” said Placeres. “We’re just approaching things on a day-to-day basis, but if we play hard, unselfish ball, there will be a good chance for some nice hardware at the end of the year.” The Highlanders have already impressed with a 50-39 win at a strong Knoxville Catholic squad last Thursday in the Blue and Gold’s lone preseason scrimmage to date. Next up is Jefferson County at G-P 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, before starting the regular season with the Sevier County Jamboree 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, at Pigeon Forge High School. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

UT Vols’ middle LB Savion Frazier out for the season By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — Tennessee will turn to a pair of freshmen to replace junior linebacker Savion Frazier, who will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his right knee against South Carolina. “We’ve now lost our sec-
ond starting middle linebacker for the season — a position that was already not very deep,” coach Lane Kiffin said. “We’re going to have to do a great job. Our staff’s working on different options.” Frazier’s predecessor, junior Nick Reveiz, suffered the same kind of season-ending injury Sept. 26 against Ohio. The Vols replaced him
with Frazier, who had playing experience at outside linebacker but hadn’t ever been responsible for lining up the defense, a job that falls to the middle position. Redshirt freshman Herman Lathers and true freshman Nigel MitchellThornton are now competing for the spot as the Vols (4-4) prepare for Memphis (2-6). Both have high school experience lining up
the defense, but neither has played much this season. “They both have a bunch of talent. Herman’s extremely fast. Nigel’s very physical,” Kiffin said. “We’re going to have a really physical, starters versus starters, ones versus ones, practice this week and figure out who the best player is.” The coaches considered moving an outside line-

backer, like team-leading tackler Rico McCoy, but determined that would create too much disruption for the defense now ranked 13th in the nation. Replacing the defensive quarterback is tough enough. Tennessee had its worst defensive performances late against Ohio after Reveiz was out and in the following game against Auburn.
Defensive tackle Dan Williams said the team was especially comfortable with Reveiz when he suffered his injury and had just gotten comfortable with Frazier as he settled in at his new position. “But it’s part of the game, and we’ll have to move on ... but luckily, we here at Tennessee have some good guys to come in and fill up,” Williams said.

Pi Beta Phi makes Smoky Mtn. finals KNOXVILLE — The Pi Beta Phi Lady Mountaineers were finalists in last month’s Smoky Mountain Middle School Tournament. Playing among a pool of over 50 teams, making it to the final game of the tournament at U.S. Cellular Field in Knoxville was quite an accomplishment for the young Lady Mountaineers, especially since they were playing in what was considered the tournament’s toughest
bracket. In their first-round game, the Pi Beta Phi squad bested Seymour by a 5-2 mark. In round two they tied CAK 2-2. Finally, in the semifinal round, Pi Beta Phi topped Sacred Heart 2-1 to secure their spot in the final game. Facing powerful Webb, the Lady Mountaineers kept it close, but fell 2-1.

NASCAR insiders are out of touch with reality Just before the Martinsville race this fall there was a panel type show in which Larry McReynolds, Chad Knaus and others from the SpeedTV network sat down with NASCAR Competition Director Robin Pemberton to discuss the state of the sport as they see it. That roundtable session, along with this past weekend’s race in Talladega, convinced me that those most entrenched inside NASCAR’s upper levels are completely out of touch with the reality that is today’s racing scene. And by ‘most entrenched’ I mean NASCAR officials, team members and high level media members. That conversation as well as other writings, television appearances and radio programs seem
to always produce the same lines in regard to the sport’s present condition. According to the insiders, NASCAR is in the best shape it has ever been in. Teams are learning the new car, fans will be back when the economy turns around, the Chase is great for raising interest and the competition level is high. To address the first point that those on the inside want to push on a public which is becoming more and more resistant to this sort of talk, the Car of Tomorrow is a major part of NASCAR’s problem.
However, those in Daytona Beach and elsewhere have completely misread the signs coming from the fans. Those who pay the bills are not, nor ever will be, interested in whether teams get a grasp on the new car. The problem with the car is that is lacks character. Fans do not want to watch identical looking prototypes race around identical looking tracks. NASCAR fans are Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and even Toyota enthusiasts, not fans of molds with nothing more than stickers to distinguish them. People want to be able to gloat that the car in their garage at least has some similarity to the one that won last Sunday’s race. Add to the complaints that NASCAR’s mandating of so many of the parts
and pieces on the car has taken away one of the most interesting aspects of the sport, ingenuity. With the rules as they are in today’s NASCAR there will never be another story like the rise of the Elliotts in the 1980s or Alan Kulwicki in the early 1990s. And no, if things remain as they are the fans will not be back when the economy turns around, at least not in the same numbers as before. So many who respond to my columns or send me e-mails offer up the same story. “I used to go to X number of races a year but I haven’t been in two years and it has nothing to do with the economy,� is a common statement. As for the Chase for the Championship, it is only rivaled by the CoT
in terms of dislike among long time fans. While at first the notion of tightening up the field with ten races remaining seemed like an idea worth taking a look at. However, what the Chase has managed to do is turn every race into a points grab rather than a race for the win. Drivers have become far too content with top-10 or even top-15 finishes. Even races on once exciting tracks like Bristol and Richmond have suffered as a result. But of all the arguments made by those who insist that NASCAR is better now than ever before is that of the number of cars on the lead lap at the end of a race. McReynolds, Pemberton and Knaus pointed to this in their discussion. Well, it is easy to keep large numbers of cars on
the lead lap when teams have so many of the vital pieces of the car’s set-up dictated to them. And more, the use of well timed ‘debris’ cautions can serve to keep the field bunched. With all of these arguments aside, the real problem that NASCAR insiders do not get is that the sport has lost its soul. The personality and ingenuity have been taken from racing and replaced with corporate language and looks. The reason I have written with so much negativity of late is that I hope those on the inside will finally see what is happening and save the sport I have loved since my childhood.

Phillies ace Lee may start Game 7 on 2 days’ rest By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee’s perfect postseason might not be over yet. Lee could earn a Game 7 start for the Philadelphia Phillies if they force the World Series to a decisive game against the New York Yankees. “As far as my availability, I’m available,� Lee said. The Phillies’ left-handed ace has been flawless in the postseason with a 4-0 record and a 1.56 ERA in five starts. Manager Charlie Manuel bypassed Lee for a Game 4 start on three days’ rest because he wanted to keep him on his regular schedule. He wasn’t his usual dominant self taking his normal turn in Game 5 on Monday night. Lee had far from his best stuff and allowed five runs in seven-plus innings before his bullpen bailed him out in Philadelphia’s 8-6 win over the Yankees. “It’s a game where I
had to battle a little more than I’ve had to the past few games,� Lee said. “Thankfully we scored a lot of runs. We won, that’s the bottom line.� Manuel said one reason he didn’t start Lee in Game 4 on short rest was because of concerns of his heavy workload. Lee pitched 231 2-3 innings for the Indians and Phillies this season, and another 40 1-3 innings in the playoffs. Lee, the Game 1 winner, has pitched at least seven innings in all five postseason starts. Manuel’s philosophy might change if Game 6 starter Pedro Martinez can help the Phillies win Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium and tie the Series at 3. Lee would usually throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Manuel might use him for a few innings on just two days’ rest. “We don’t know about that yet,� Manuel said. “I’ll talk to him about what he
thinks about if he can pitch at all or something.� ——— A-ROD’S RECORDS: A-Rod is atop the Yankees’ postseason RBI list. Alex Rodriguez was 2 for 4 with three RBIs in Game 5 and now has knocked in 18 runs this postseason. He set the team record with 16 on an RBI double in the first inning of New York’s 8-6 loss to the Phillies on Monday night. Rodriguez passed Bernie Williams (1996) and Scott Brosius (1998), who each had 15. Rodriguez is also closing in on the single postseason record for RBIs. Cleveland’s Sandy Alomar Jr. (1997), Anaheim’s Scott Spiezio (2002) and Boston’s David Ortiz (2004) all had 19. ———
VICTORINO INJURED: Shane Victorino swiveled on a chair toward the pack of media and flashed two thumbs up. His hand was fine and he expects to play in Game 6. “Two thumbs up everybody,� he said. “That’s all you need to know.� Victorino put a scare into the Phillies after he was hit on the right index finger by an A.J. Burnett fastball in the first inning. He shook his head and stayed in the game, scoring on Chase Utley’s three-run homer. Though X-rays were negative, the Phillies center fielder was clearly in discomfort the rest of the way in Philadelphia’s 8-6 Game 5 win over the Yankees on Monday night. He gingerly removed his

He grimaced and shook his wrist after popping out in the second inning. “When I first got hit, I said, ’Oh no, this doesn’t feel right,”’ Victorino said. “I went in and threw and it felt fine. I’m happy for that.” Victorino, a native of Hawaii, went 0 for 3 and was replaced in the eighth inning by Ben Francisco. Victorino might catch a break with Tuesday’s off day before the Series resumes on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Victorino didn’t know he was replaced until he saw Francisco in center. Victorino pleaded with manager Charlie Manuel to leave him in the game and move Francisco to left field to replace the slower Raul Ibanez. Manuel shook his head no. “I wanted to play,” Victorino said. “There was some miscommunication, but other than that, everything was fine.” Maybe Manuel should have listened to his All-Star after Ibanez failed to grab Mark Teixeira’s double in the eighth. Victorino said Burnett apologized. Burnett shattered Jayson Werth’s wrist in a 2005 spring training game when Werth was playing with the Dodgers. It’s been a rough World Series for center fielders. Yankees center fielder Melky Cabrera has a slightly strained left hamstring and was replaced on the roster. New York’s Brett Gardner made a fantastic catch

to rob Werth in the fifth inning. He made a leaping, outstretched grab and slammed his back into the wall. He was down for a few minutes, but also stayed in the game. ——— GAME 6: Pedro Martinez will get another shot to win a World Series game at Yankee Stadium. Martinez, who lost Game 2, will start Game 6 on Wednesday as the Phillies try and force a Game 7. “He should go anywhere ... six, seven innings in a game, maybe longer, depends on how many pitches he throws early,” manager Charlie Manuel said. The Yankees likely will start Game 3 winner Andy Pettitte on three days’ rest. Manager Joe Girardi said he would name a starter after the Yankees work out on Tuesday. “Physically I’ve got to see how he is,” Girardi said. “He threw on the side today and felt good.” ——— NUMBERS GAME: Joe Girardi’s goal has always been on his back. The Yankees manager wears uniform No. 27 because the franchise has been chasing their 27th championship. Girardi hadn’t considered a uniform switch next season if the Yankees beat the Phillies. But with New York holding a 3-2 edge in the Series, Girardi is focused on the present. “I’m sure my kids would have recommendations what my uniform number should be, but I haven’t thought about that and I don’t like to think too far ahead,” Girardi said.

House GOP offers 230-page health bill
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Republicans have produced a health care bill to offer as an alternative to legislation by majority Democrats, focusing more on lowering costs than expanding coverage. The bill is 230 pages long, compared with Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1,990-page measure. Unlike the Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legislation it has no requirement for people to buy insurance and no prohibitions against insurance companies denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions. Aides to Minority Leader John Boehner cautioned the measure was not final and changes were being made.
Sniper attorneys going to high court
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Attorneys for sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad plan to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to stop next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution. Muhammad is scheduled to die by lethal injection Nov. 10 at a Virginia prison. Attorneys for the 48-year-old have said they planned to file the appeal Tuesday. They asked Gov. Timothy M. Kaine for clemency last month. Muhammad is to be executed for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a Manassas, Va., gas station during a three-week killing spree in October 2002 that left 10 dead in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Longtime Madoff auditor pleads guilty
NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Disgraced money manager Bernard Madoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime auditor pleaded guilty to securities fraud and other charges Tuesday in a cooperation deal that could leave him behind bars for years. The government said David Friehling, 49, whose plea was accepted in federal court in Manhattan, would have known that Madoff was carrying out historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest Ponzi scheme â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because he kept the books.
Court to assess Polanski bail appeal
GENEVA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roman Polanski has re-appealed to the Swiss courts to be released from prison on bail, officials said Tuesday, the latest step in the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protracted legal battle to avoid extradition to the United States. The 76-year-old filmmaker has suffered a string of setbacks since he was arrested Sept. 26 in Zurich as he arrived to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival. Authorities in Los Angeles want him extradited for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

Tina’s Groove
Dear Annie: My son, “Terry,” is 30 and newly divorced with two sons. My husband and I have been helping him since he had a hard time finding a job. He lived with us for three months. My husband (his stepfather) bought him a car and insurance so he could get to work and be able to pick up his boys. In April, Terry moved into an apartment. We paid the security deposit and first month’s rent. He found a job in June, but with child support payments, he still had a hard time with the rent, so we continued to help him through the summer. The problem is, in August, he let “Larry” move in with him. Larry is an alcoholic with no job. He has a filthy mouth and is into porn. Terry says he’s just “helping him out.” We think this is terrible and have decided to stop giving Terry money for rent because we don’t want to help Larry. I don’t think our grandsons should be around this man. Terry says he doesn’t need our permission to let someone move in. I believe if he were paying his own way, it wouldn’t be my business. Am I wrong for not wanting to help anymore? -Slapped in the Face Dear Slapped: You are absolutely right. You are not obligated to pay your son’s rent under any circumstances. If he chooses to bring an unsavory character into his life, that is his choice, but you don’t have to subsidize it. Don’t be angry. Be firm and practical. Tell him he can do what he wishes, but he’ll be doing it on his own. If you feel you must help him in
some way, offer to pay a portion of his child support. Dear Annie: November is Prematurity Awareness Month. My wife and I would like to share the story of our daughter’s birth, in the hope that it will encourage women to get prenatal care during pregnancy. Lauren was born at 26 and a half weeks, weighing 2 pounds and 1 ounce, and spent five frightening months in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit before we could bring her home. As an African-American, my wife had a higher risk of an early delivery, and even though she did everything right, she still went into preterm labor. Today, Lauren is a healthy, beautiful 5-yearold with lots of personality and a keen intelligence. Her only medical concern is asthma. We are convinced that my wife’s prenatal and personal care helped with Lauren’s overall health, despite her early birth. We want to warn other parents about the seriousness of premature birth and let them know there are things they can do to lower the chances that their baby will be born too soon. Parents can get information about the warning signs of preterm labor and how to help give their baby a healthy start in life at marchofdimes.

com/fightforpreemies. -- Densel and Nikki Fleming Dear Densel and Nikki Fleming: We are glad your daughter is a healthy 5-year-old, and we appreciate your letting our readers know about the website so they, too, can give their babies the best possible start. Dear Annie: I read the response to “Doctor in California” and agree that the media put such a spin on many medications that people can be afraid to use them. I am a dog groomer. One day a regular client brought in her dog. It had lost all its hair around the ears, and the skin had turned a bright red. The owner was using a cream the doctor had given her, but it wasn’t helping much. She told me the doctor had also suggested steroid shots, but she had refused because she didn’t want her pet to “become addicted and gain all that muscle.” Holding back a giggle, I assured her it was a different kind of steroid and would help her dog immensely. Two weeks later, the dog’s skin was back to normal. -Ginger Dear Ginger: We’re envisioning a new canine superhero.
