Liberty looks to hire 100 locally

INSIDE

Job fair set for Wednesday By STAN VOIT Editor

5Heisman hopeful SCHS’s McCandless is one step closer to big high school honor

Liberty National Life Insurance Company is looking to hire at least 100 people, maybe more, when it holds a job fair Wednesday to staff a

planned local branch office. Bobby Hicks, a unit manager for Liberty National in its Chattanooga office, said Friday the company will have three job interview sessions on Wednesday at Music Road Hotel & Convention Center in Pigeon Forge. The only requirement is that applicants be at least 18 years old and pass the state life and health insurance licensing procedure, which Hicks said takes from three days to two weeks.

Liberty National Life Insurance Company is in the most aggressive growth mode in the company’s 109-year history and plans to hire more than 2,500 sales agents and sales managers in hiring events across the U.S. like the one next week in Pigeon Forge, it said in a recent news release. Liberty National is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torchmark Corp., headquartered in McKinney, Texas. “We’ve seen a tremendous

turnout at more than two dozen grand openings of new branches in the past six months,” Liberty President Andy King said. “We want to make our opportunity available to hard-working people that have been caught up in the economic downturn. The ‘We’re Hiring’ event gives them an opportunity to see how our company can change their life.” Hicks said new agents average See LIBERTY, Page A4

Bolze plea deal seems likely in federal court By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer KNOXVILLE — The long saga of accused Ponzi schemer Dennis Bolze may come to a close today, at least on the criminal side, as the Gatlinburg man appears in federal court to change his not guilty plea. Bolze is set to come before U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Varlan at 11 a.m. today in Knoxville in a change of plea hearing. Since his arrest in mid-March in Pennsylvania, Bolze has twice pleaded not guilty to the felony wire fraud and money laundering charges against him. With the scheduling of

the hearing, it appears likely the government and Bolze have struck a deal that will allow xxx him to admit guilt for at least a portion of the charges against him in exchange for a lighter sentence. There have been previous indications the two sides were bargaining, including a reference Bolze himself made to a plea deal document during his last appearance in court a couple months ago. Though he declined to comment specifically on

Spry makes debut today Spry, a monthly magazine devoted to health and wellness, makes its debut in The Mountain Press today. Spry features articles and advice on the rewards of healthy living — and helps you make it happen. Each issue will inspire you through stories of women and men who define the word spry, people who see life as a series of open doors and the future as full of opportunity. Plus, the magazine includes advice from those people as well as experts in healthy living. “We hope you like what you see,” said Jana Thomasson, publisher of The Mountain Press. “It’s a great magazine with a growing circulation in many newspapers. Spry is another bonus for our readers.” Spry joins two other recent magazine additions to The Mountain Press: American Profile, in each Saturday edition; and Relish, a magazine about food and wine, which you’ll receive on the first Wednesday of every month. Readers will continue to receive USA Weekend on Sundays.

the Bolze case, Circuit Court Judge Rex Henry Ogle said scheduling that type of hearing is usually a sign a bargain has been negotiated. “When someone has put in a plea of not guilty and then a change of plea

hearing is scheduled, it would appear there is a plea agreement,” Ogle said. “That would usually mean both sides have already agreed to it.” Generally, a plea agreement includes a suggested sentence that is

lighter than the one that would be imposed if the accused is found guilty of all the offenses he or she is accused of, even though the person might actually plead guilty to all See BOLZE, Page A4

GATLINBURG — With fall set in and winter on its way to Sevier County, local folks will have a chance to warm up with some homemade soup and with the feeling they’ve done something to help those in need in the community Thursday. Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts will host its sixth annual Souper Bowl from 5-6:30 p.m. in the school’s dining hall, just off the Parkway across from the Hard Rock Cafe. Though the event has sold out year after year, a few tickets remain for this year’s Souper Bowl at $20 per person, with all proceeds benefiting United Way of Sevier County. Those who turn out will be allowed to select a bowl handmade by a staff member or student at the institution. They’ll be allowed to fill it with soup also made by folks from the school until the pots run empty. “This is a very unique event and it’s a wonderful opportunity to have some great soup and get a keepsake that you can hang onto for years to come,� United Way Director of Marketing Elaina DeLozier says. “We’re so fortunate to have Arrowmont in our community. There are some wonderful classes there and folks can get a look at the products of those with these bowls that will be given out during the Souper Bowl.� It’s not just Arrowmont’s unique curriculum, which includes teaching students from children to adults skills like pottery and jewelry making, that makes the event special, but also the fact that it’s the only instance in which a nonprofit event that itself must do fundraising works to bring in money for United Way. “We’re so fortunate and so grateful that Arrowmont does this for us each year,� DeLozier says. For those interested in attending, DeLozier urges prompt action. “This is normally a sell-out event, so people should definitely get their tickets today,� she says. “They don’t want to put it off and miss their chance.� For information on tickets, call Arrowmont staffer Nancy James at 436-5860, extension 24.

those charges. However, Ogle points out there are instances in which the agreement simply is that the person will plead guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence, with what that includes being left up to the judge. If a proposed sentence is included in the deal, Varlan, in addition to the prosecution and defense, will have to approve the deal. That means the suggested punishment will have to meet minimum standards set by law and Varlan’s own interpretation of how much of a sentence Bolze deserves, Ogle said. If everyone finds the deal agreeable, Bolze could begin serving any imposed sentence immediately. Bolze stands accused of swindling somewhere around 160 people both locally and around the world out of more than $20 million, according to the indictment against him. Federal investigators allege he ran a fraudulent invest-

ment operation out of his home using the front Las Vegas businesses Centurion Asset Management and Advanced Trading Services. Based on evidence they uncovered during a months-long investigation of Bolze spurred about the time he disappeared from his Gatlinburg home, they say Bolze was taking money from new investors and using it to make payments to existing ones, to whom he attested annual returns using his stock market-playing system. In the meantime, he was keeping a portion of the money he received to finance a lavish lifestyle that included high-profile parties and fundraisers, as well as a Campbell Lead Road home valued around $10 million. Though today’s hearing may bring an end to the criminal prosecution against Bolze, battles over his assets in civil and bankruptcy courts will likely proceed for some time. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

It was a great opportunity for the kids — they were definitely sharp and knew their subject.” Students interested in being featured in the program had to conduct a leaf-litter activity with a park ranger, which included sifting through leaves, looking for insects and observing them with a video microscope. They then gave an impromptu three-minute presentation about what they found. Teachers looked for students who thought fast on their feet, had good observation skills and could stay focused during the hourlong program. Three students were chosen from each school and answered questions from the program’s director. Final selections were made in early October.

CLARKSVILLE (AP) — The Clarksville High School Class of ’55 wants to help save a Doughboy statue, which holds a cherished place among their school memories. During a quarterly meeting of the class, members talked about the ongoing efforts to raise funds for the renovation efforts to the statue, which memorializes local World War I servicemen. Judy Pryor proposed issuing a “class challenge” to all of the other CHS graduating classes to make their own donations. The CHS Class of ’61 also has made a donation. The stone statue and granite base stood on the lawn of the old high school at Greenwood Avenue and Madison Street from its 1929 public dedication until it was moved to the Clarksville Armory in 1972. Now, it’s being renovated to restore it to its former glory and to fit it with a new cast rifle. The $55 donation from the Class of ’55 honors the class graduation year and the fact the class will be celebrating its 55th reunion in 2010. Ann Long and Janet Clements are co-chairwomen for that event. It “feels like the Doughboy statue is a part of our family,” said Long, who participated in high school cheerleading practice beneath the Doughboy’s gaze. “He was always there to greet us in the mornings.”

Man confesses to shooting Kansas abortion provider

Radical praises Ft. Hood shooter WASHINGTON (AP) — A radical American imam on Yemen’s most wanted militant list who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers praised alleged Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a hero on his personal Web site Monday. The posting on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion. Awlaki said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to “follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal.� “Nidal Hassan (sic) is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people,� Awlaki wrote. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, is accused of killing 13 and wounding 29 in a shooting spree Thursday. Hasan’s family attended the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., where Awlaki was preaching in 2001. Hasan’s mother’s funeral was held at the Falls Church mosque on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper, around the same time two 9/11 hijackers worshipped at the mosque and while Awlaki was preaching. Awlaki is a native-born U.S. citizen who left the United States in 2002, eventually traveling to Yemen. He was released from a Yemeni jail last year and has since gone missing. He is on Yemen’s most wanted militant list, according to three Yemeni security officials. The officials say Awlaki was arrested in 2006 with a small group of suspected alQaida militants in the capital San’a. They say he was released more than a year later after signing a pledge he will not break the law or leave the country. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Surfers take advantage of rough surf as Tropical Storm Ida approaches the coast in Gulf Shores, Ala., on Monday.

Gulf Coast preps as Ida weakens to tropical storm By MELISSA NELSON Associated Press Writer PENSACOLA, Fla. — Gulf Coast residents hunkered down at home and in shelters Monday as a rare late-season tropical storm headed their way, bringing with it the potential for high winds, flooding and up to 8 inches of rain in some places. After a quiet Atlantic storm season, people took the year’s first serious threat in stride. “We can ride it out right here,� said T.J. Covacevich, 50, who wore a “Hurricane Hunter� T-shirt as he tied down his powerboat in a Biloxi, Miss., harbor. Earlier, heavy rain in Ida’s wake triggered flooding and landslides in El Salvador that killed at least 130 people. Ida had been the third hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season, which ends Dec. 1, but weakened to a tropical storm Monday, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph (110 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center said it was expected to weaken further before making landfall along the Gulf Coast sometime Monday night or early today. Rain was already falling in many spots by Monday afternoon. Tropical storm warnings were in effect across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama

and Florida, where governors declared states of emergency. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said officials were relieved Ida had weakened but warned that tropical storms can still be deadly. He pointed to Fay, which was blamed for more than a dozen deaths in Florida, Haiti and the Dominican Republic last year. “That thing was a tropical storm and we lost a lot of our fellow Floridians, so it’s important to stay vigilant,� Crist said outside the state emergency operations center. “We need to be careful.� Residents elsewhere in the Southeast braced for heavy rain. In north Georgia, which saw historic flooding in September, forecasters said up to 4 more inches could soak the already-saturated ground as Ida moved across the state. Two Chevron Corp. workers had to be rescued early Monday from an offshore oil rig about 80 miles south of New Orleans that was in danger of toppling as Ida churned up high seas. They were not hurt. There were no plans for mandatory evacuations, but authorities in some coastal areas opened shelters and encouraged people near the water or in mobile homes to leave. Many schools closed, and several cruise ships were delayed as the U.S. Coast Guard closed Gulf Coast ports.

Dow jumps 204 points to high level for year NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average stormed to its highest level in more than a year Monday as a falling dollar boosted prices for gold, oil and other commodities. Stocks also jumped as investors grew more confident that governments around the world will keep interest rates low to help the global economy. Energy and materials stocks led the market. The major indexes rose 2 percent and the Dow jumped 200 points for the second time in three days, reaching its highest level in 13 months.

Supreme Court refuses to stop sniper execution

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block Tuesday’s scheduled execution of sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad. The Court did not comment Monday on why it refused to consider his appeal. Muhammad is scheduled to die by injection at a Virginia prison for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during a three-week spree in 2002 across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Muhammad and his teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, were also suspected of fatal shootings in other states, including Louisiana, Alabama and Arizona. Malvo is serving a life sentence. Muhammad still has a clemency petition before Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Defiant and unapologetic, a man accused of shooting a Kansas abortion provider confessed to the slaying Monday, telling The Associated Press that he killed the doctor to protect unborn children. Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., spoke to the AP in a telephone call from jail, saying he plans to argue at his trial that he was justified in shooting Dr. George Tiller at the abortion provider’s Wichita church in May. “Because of the fact preborn children’s lives were in imminent danger this was the action I chose. ... I want to make sure that the focus is, of course, obviously on the preborn children and the necessity to defend them,� Roeder said. “Defending innocent life — that is what prompted me. It is pretty simple,� he said. Roeder is charged with one count of first-degree murder in Tiller’s death and two counts of aggravated assault for allegedly threatening two ushers who tried to stop him during the May 31 melee in the foyer of the doctor’s church. Roeder has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go to trial in January. In a more than 30-minute interview with the AP, Roeder did not apologize for the slaying. “No, I don’t have any regrets because I have been told so far at least four women have changed their minds, that I know of, and have chosen to have the baby,� Roeder said. “So even if one changed her mind it would be worth it. No, I don’t have any regrets.� His confession came on the same day several strident abortion opponents released their “Defensive Action Statement 3rd Edition� that proclaims any force that can be used to defend the life of a “born child is legitimate to defend the life of an unborn child.� The statement’s 21 signers demand Roeder’s jurors be allowed to consider the “question of when life begins� in deciding whether lethal force was justified. Among the signers are Eric Rudolph, James Kopp and Shelley Shannon — all serving prison time for targeting abortion doctors. Lee Thompson, attorney for the Tiller family and executor of his estate, has said allowing such a defense would “invite chaos and be tantamount to anarchy.�

GOP at odds over Right to Life NASHVILLE (AP) — Republican legislators are at odds over whether to criticize the state’s largest anti-abortion organization for supporting a Democrat. House Republican Leader Jason Mumpower drafted a letter to Tennessee Right to Life President Brian Harris saying the endorsement of Democrats would harm prospects for antiabortion legislation. It was reported Monday that he e-mailed the letter last week to House

Republicans, inviting them to add their names to the letter. But several have objected, including House Speaker Kent Williams and Knoxville Reps. Bill Dunn and Stacey Campfield. Mumpower cites the group’s endorsement of Democrat Ty Cobb in a special election last month that was won by Republican Rep. Pat Marsh of Shelbyville. Mumpower’s letter says the anti-abortion organization doesn’t consider that the fate of

legislation often depends on “behind the scenes” activity. “These behind the scenes actions are either being ignored or maybe simply are not understood by Tennessee Right to Life,” the letter says. “By your own actions of supporting Democrat candidates you are saying you hope Democrat leaders once again are in the position of power and by your own actions you will help history repeat itself and you will help insure pro-life legislation

is defeated.” But other Republicans say the group is dedicated to the passage of antiabortion amendment to the state constitution and is trying to gain more Democratic support. Republicans hold 51 seats in the 99-member House, but an amendment would require 66 votes. Williams e-mailed a response on Friday supporting Right to Life as an “honest, straightforward, nonpolitical and non-hypocritical” group.

Gay marriage inside deals won’t work

On Election Day this past Tuesday, the people of Maine voted to repeal gay marriage, 53 percent to 47 percent. Gay-marriage advocates are bitterly disappointed. They spent three years building an organization to push gay marriage in Maine. They had every major newspaper and most other media on their side, as well as the political establishment — the governor, the attorney general, the head of the schools. They were awash in money, outfundraising promarriage advocates by more than 50 percent. (Full disclosure: The National Organization for Marriage contributed $1.8 million to the Yes on One campaign — or more than half the campaign budget.) Gay-marriage advocates in Maine had the benefit of learning from California. They ran the kind of campaign critics claim would have won Proposition 8: No on One ads featured happy gay families, and rebuttal ads to Yes on One claims came quickly. There are not very many Mormons in Maine, or black people, either, so they cannot blame this loss on either minority group. Maine is a deep blue state, socially liberal and relatively secular, and close to Massachusetts, where people have presumably learned “the sky doesn’t fall” after gay marriage becomes law. And yet people in Maine in a free and fair election decisively rejected gay marriage by an even bigger margin than in California. Here’s the first thing this victory means: The $4 million spent to pass gay marriage in Maine was wasted. Even Americans in liberal states do not believe that two guys pledged to a gay union are a marriage. Politicians can pass a bill saying a chicken is a duck and that doesn’t make it true. Truth matters. Americans have a great deal of goodwill toward gay people as friends, neighbors and fellow citizens. Most of us do not want to hurt them or hate them or interfere with anyone’s legitimate rights to live as they choose. But we do not believe gay marriage is a civil right; we think it is a civil wrong. And we do not appreciate the increasingly intense efforts to punish people who disagree with gay marriage as if we were racists, bigots, discriminators or haters. Case in point: Don Mendell, a school guidance counselor at Nokomis Regional High School in Maine, now faces ethics complaints for his decision to appear in a TV ad for the Yes on One campaign in the closing days of the contest. If substantiated, the ethics complaint could lead the government to yank his license as a social worker and, therefore, threaten his livelihood. What kind of movement spurs people to act like this? Meanwhile, a teacher of the year who campaigned for gay marriage faces no such threat to her livelihood. Is gay marriage really about love and tolerance for all? The people of Maine are certainly entitled to wonder. Over in New York, the collapse of Dede Scozzafava is another big story. Scozzafava was handpicked to become the first openly pro-gay marriage Republican in a district where the vast majority of Republicans and independents (and even a big chunk of Democrats) oppose gay marriage. A National Organization of marriage poll of likely voters in New York’s 23rd Congressional District revealed that fully 50 percent of her opponent’s supporters said that Scozzafava’s vote for gay marriage was a factor in their decision not to support her. NOM spent more than $100,000 sending 160,000 pieces of mail to voters who oppose gay marriage, and it also made more than 250,000 automated and live calls to make sure these voters knew that Scozzafava voted for gay marriage. Executive director Brian Brown has his own take on what happened in the 23rd district: “This should be a wake-up call to GOP politicians who think they can play clever insider games and cut special deals on the marriage issue: It’s not going to work. The voters are not on your side.” Indeed. — Maggie Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, is known for her conservative social policy analysis of social trends and conditions.

Rounding third Northview/Kodak VFD growing to keep up with demanding territory It’s important to remind ourselves now and then that much of this county is served by volunteer fire departments. If you live outside of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, it’s volunteers who will answer the call if you need assistance. Volunteer departments rely on the generosity of the people served in order to maintain proper equipment and facilities. Without a caring community, there wouldn’t be a fire department to serve it. The Northview/Kodak Volunteer Fire Department has just such a caring community, which backs up the department with contributions and support. The department serves a large area of the northern part of the county and is continuing to grow. With that growth comes the need to expand locations. Last weekend the department held

groundbreaking ceremonies for its third station, located near the intersection of Douglas Dam and Tuckahoe roads. It was the result of months of hard work and preparation, according to board chairman and charter member Gene Byrd, who also is a county commissioner. The department has grown from 26 firefighters and one pumper truck in 1977 to an operation that serves thousands from two stations and soon will add a third. The construction will cost around $100,000, but a lot of the services have been donated, such as plumbing and excavation. The owner of the property where the station is going, David Huffaker, is leasing it to the county for $1 a year — for 99 years. He understands the value of a strong volunteer fire department in that is located where it can serve a growing, expansive area.

Huffaker’s desire to give back to the department and the community is much appreciated not only by firefighters, but by the many people served by them. Northview/Kodak opened its second station just seven years ago, so its expansion can be tied to the population explosion in the Northview/Kodak area of Sevier County. The men and women of the department train every year to be at their best when the calls come. Through mutual aid the department can count on assistance from other departments, both part- and fulltime, but the responsibility falls on the people in the Northview/Kodak unit. Congratulations to all who made Saturday’s groundbreaking necessary and possible. People like Fire Chief John Satterfield, who never thought they’d see a third station, can now await its opening in the near future.

Home Depot wrong to deny worker right to wear badge

Editor: The other day I happened to catch a newscast about a Home Depot employee who was fired because he was wearing a badge with the inscription “One Nation Under God.” He was wearing it in honor of his brother, serving our country. They told him to take it off or wear one they

Public forum approved. He refused and they fired him. Home Depot has every right to make any policies they want; they own the company. But that’s where I have a real big problem with their policies. If they refuse to let any of their employees wear anything that has God’s name on it, then why do they not have a problem with our American currency? On our money it says as plain as day, “In God We Trust.” Our nation was founded by

our forefathers on Godly principles. I did not think I would ever see the day we would have a problem with anything that had the name of God on it. Sevier County, we are one nation under God. God has blessed us and it’s an honor for me to wear a badge with His name on it. Proud to say I am a believer. Mae Gray Pigeon Forge

Alex McCandless for Heisman SCHS senior is finalist for Wendy’s national high school honor BY JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — A week after getting the surprise news that he was a state finalist for the Wendy’s High School Heisman award, Alex McCandless got another surprise on Monday. The Sevier County senior, while being honored at a school assembly with fellow state finalist Erin McMullen, learned not only was he the state’s boys winner, he is also one of only six candidates from across the U.S. to qualify as a national finalist for the prestigious award. “Alex McCandless is academically, morally and athletically one of the best kids that we have at Sevier County High School,” Sevier County track coach Jonathan Brewer said. See HS HEISMAN, Page A9

Debate the call if Memphis fires West, coach will finish season you like, but don’t question the coach Hindsight is 20/20. Since the Smoky Bears’ opening round playoff loss to the visiting Bearden Bulldogs Friday night, I’ve had several people ask me what I thought about SCHS heach coach Steve Brewer’s decision to go for two points and the win in the waning moments of the team’s 35-34 upset loss. And my answer’s been consistent. I think coach Brewer did the right thing. First of all, the Sevier County offense had been on fire for the past few minutes of the fourth quarter, and the the Bearden defense appeared to be on its heels. Then you’ve got to factor in who would have the advantage should the teams went to overtime. In OT the teams get atlernating chances from the 10-yard line until one of the teams fails to match or exceed the other. The Smoky Bears’ wideopen offense isn’t designed for the smashmouth style of football that excels in that kind of 10-yard fight. They’re better at the big play, something the team did all season. Bearden, on the other hand, has an All-State running back in Devrin Young, who’s essentially made for those short field opportunities (see his touchdowns of 3, 6 and 28-yards earlier in the game). Another factor in Brewer’s decision could have been the kicking game. While Sevier County freshman kicker Jared Baxter had a great season kicking the ball for SCHS, overtime with the season

on the line isn’t exactly something you want to pile on a 9th grader’s shoulders. Also, the Bulldogs’ kicker Cisco Carter — a 6-5 senior — had been drilling the ball all night, and looked like he could have made a field goal from 40-yards-plus. Another factor that I thought of that many fans may not remember was the 2007 game between the Bears and neighboring Jefferson County. In that game, which went into overtime, the crowd saw the Bears lose when they kicked a PAT instead of going for two. Sevier County scored a TD to start the overtime and kicked the point-after, only to have Jefferson County answer and add the game-winning twopointer. It was a real dagger. When it comes down to it, sometimes coaching is a crapshoot. You make the decision you think is right for the moment based on variables you’ve learned to evaluate over your entire career. Brewer, who led the team to a perfect 10-0 regular season 10 years after taking the school to its only state football championship, knows what he’s doing. And if I was a parent, assistant coach or player, he’s the only one I’d want making that decision, and I’d stand behind the call and the man who made it. mpsports@themountainpress.com

MEMPHIS (AP) — Memphis fired coach Tommy West on Monday, saying the school wants to do in a different direction after the season. Athletic Director R.C. Johnson said at a news conference that he had met with West earlier Monday morning and told the coach that the university “wanted our program to go in a different direction.” He also asked West to stay through the end of the season. The firing comes after the Tigers started the season 2-7 and less than 48 hours after a 56-28 loss to instate rival Tennessee. The Commercial Appeal first reported the firing. Johnson said the search will start immediately. He said while Division I experience was not mandatory, recruiting at that level will be an important factor in the new coach. The athletic director said he already has “been inundated with candidates.” “It’s not a good day at the office,” West said at the news conference right after his firing was announced. West is 49-58 in his ninth season as head coach. He led Memphis to five bowl games in the past six years, and he was one of only four coaches in school history with four winning seasons while coaching at least five seasons with the Tigers. The firing comes on

Memphis has fired coach Tommy West, pictured here last month. Athletic Director R.C. Johnson said at a news conference late Monday morning that he had met with West earlier and told the coach that the university “wanted our program to go in a different direction.” the heels of Saturday’s woeful showing against the Volunteers, assuring Memphis (2-7; 1-4 Conference USA) of its second straight losing season and third in the last four years. West’s overall record is 84-93, including coaching stints at TennesseeChattanooga and Clemson. Besides a 35-20 win over UTEP on October 10, the only other Memphis victory this season was 41-14 over Tennessee-Martin of

the Football Championship Subdivision. West was named the Tigers defensive coordinator in 2000, and a year later became head coach, replacing Rip Scherer. He led Memphis to three consecutive winning seasons from 2003-05 and his fifth bowl was last year’s St. Petersburg Bowl. But in recent years his teams struggled early in the season and rallied down the stretch to become bowl eligible. This year, they never recovered

from a poor start and have lost three straight by wide margins. The worst may have been a 38-19 loss to East Carolina on Oct. 27. Not only did the Tigers perform poorly on the field, but a rainy night resulted in only a couple of thousand people in the stands at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in a nationally televised game. That, followed by Tennessee’s thumping of the Tigers Saturday, apparently proved too much.

Miles, Saban voice support for SEC’s maligned officials TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Les Miles decided not to test the SEC’s new gettough policy regarding coaches criticizing officials. The LSU coach said Monday he spoke with Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive and coordinator of officials Rogers Redding about a near-interception by Patrick Peterson late in the Tigers’ 24-15 loss to Alabama. Officials ruled Peterson caught the ball out of bounds and replay officials did not overturn the call, though video showed the LSU defensive back might have had a foot down in bounds. LSU asked the league to review the call and Miles said he was satisfied with the response he received. “I know these officials are trying,� he said during his weekly news conference in Baton Rouge, La. “They are doing everything they can to get it right. The final

WKU COACH 3From Page A8

Elson, who is 39-41 in seven seasons as coach with the Hilltoppers and oversaw the move from the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) to the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A). Elson did not meet with reporters, instead issuing a statement. “I have had the privilege of coaching at this great university for 14 years, so obviously I am very disappointed and do not agree with this decision,� he said. He will receive a $500,000 buyout. Elson signed a contract extension through 2016 last January and both he and Selig preached patience over the summer, saying it would take at least three or four seasons for the Hilltoppers to find their footing in the FBS. Selig, however, felt it was necessary to make a move. WKU is just 1-23 against FBS schools over the last three seasons and currently ranks last or next to last in the Sun Belt in 16 statistical categories. The Hilltoppers are also last in the country in total defense and scoring defense and next to last in rushing defense. The Hilltoppers’ average attendance at their newly renovated 25,000-seat stadium is 16,000. It wasn’t what Selig was looking for when the Hilltoppers proudly proclaimed they were “No. 120� after becoming fullfledged members of the FBS this season. “I didn’t feel like we were making the necessary steps to put us on track and show the amount of improvement that we’d like to see at the particular juncture,� Selig said. Selig, however, has no regrets about the decision to move to the FBS. “There’s no doubt the

score is the final score. The officials are working hard to get it right. If I felt differently, I would say so.� But then he’d have to take out his checkbook. The SEC fined Florida coach Urban Meyer $30,000 last week for saying referees missed a late hit against Georgia on quarterback Tim Tebow, making him the first coach punished under the league’s new policy of skipping public reprimands and going straight to fines or suspension. The questionable call in the LSU game was the latest in a series of high-profile ones that have left SEC fans, and at times coaches, grumbling. Peterson stepped in front of Greg McElroy’s pass and might have gotten his left foot down in bounds — maybe both feet — but was ruled out with 5:54 left and

transition to (the FBS) is not for the faint of heart,� he said. “We’re still committed to this and we know the process can’t be microwaved.� The move was considered necessary to help make football matter in an area that hardly paid attention after the Hilltoppers won the I-AA title in 2002. The school spent nearly $50 million to renovate Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium, a facelift that gave the Hilltoppers the kind of top-notch facility Elson hoped would help recruiting. The move to the FBS, however, has failed to capture the attention of the fan base. Season ticket sales have lagged, from over 9,000 in 2007 to 7,500 this year. Selig said the team’s inability to be competitive this season hasn’t helped. The Hilltoppers have lost their Sun Belt games by an average of 20 points, the kind of backsliding Selig didn’t foresee in 2007 when WKU went 1-2 while playing a partial conference schedule. “It didn’t seem like the gap was shrinking between WKU and rest of conference, it felt like it was widening,� Selig said. He stressed it was the competition against conference opponents, not the brutal nonconference schedule, that played a part in the decision. That’s good news for WKU’s next coach, as the next few years offer few breaks. WKU will play games at Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. “If you look at the resources we’ve put into WKU football, look at the infrastructure in place, this program is built to win championships,� Selig said.

LSU trailing 21-15. Replay official Gerald Hodges determined there wasn’t the required “indisputed video evidence� to overturn the call. “I know I was in,� Peterson said after the game. “The officials said the pass was incomplete because I was out of bounds. There is nothing you can do now.� SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said the league would not comment on the call. “The standard procedure for us has been that the school turns in a list of plays and we look at those plays and give them back a review of those plays,� Bloom said. “That’s what we’re doing.� Miles did not join Meyer,

Arkansas’ Bobby Petrino, Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin and Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen in publicly criticizing the officials. Petrino, Kiffin and Mullen were all reprimanded within a week and soon after the SEC decided to make the punishment for knocking officials more severe. Miles said he was convinced Slive and Redding looked at the play “long and hard.� So did he. “I know the officials could not see the play,� the coach said. “They were in great position. One official could not see the play because he couldn’t see through the back of Patrick Peterson. The only other official who could see the play, was on the other boundary. “He couldn’t see through

one of our players. So, it goes to replay. If it’s not irrefutable, there’s no reversal. The replay man is given instruction to defend and defer to the call on the field.� Alabama coach Nick Saban lashed out at the critics, not the officials. “If I was an official and I was making what I made officiating because I love the game and I love doing it, and I was getting criticized by the media — including our announcers on TV — like these guys are getting criticized, I’d step back and say, ’I think I’ll go to the lake this weekend. You can have this,�’ Saban said. “That’s what I’d do. He also noted that LSU would still have had to drive nearly 70 yards with both quarterback Jordan Jefferson and tailback Charles Scott out with injuries, against one of the nation’s top defenses. “If it was an interception,

that doesn’t mean they win the game,� Saban said. “It was hard for me to tell on our film. I don’t watch the TV stuff. I can’t tell you or give you an opinion one way or the other.� The SEC publicly suspended a crew that called two personal foul penalties in separate games that were not supported by video evidence. One of the calls came in the Arkansas-Florida game and aided a Gators’ touchdown drive late in their 23-20 victory. Kiffin complained about the officials after a 12-10 loss at Alabama and Mullen did the same after a replay review went Florida’s way during his team’s 29-19 loss to the Gators. Alabama and Florida are undefeated and will meet in the SEC championship game. If they stay unbeaten, the game in Atlanta will also be for a spot in the national title game.

Rodriguez says Michigan is undaunted by challenge By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Rich Rodriguez has to lead Michigan to an upset at Wisconsin or in the Big House against rival Ohio State to earn bowl eligibility — and perhaps patience from fed-up fans. “The University of Michigan is not used to this, but neither am I or my staff,” Rodriguez said Monday. “We’re all kind of going through this process. “We’re not daunted by the challenge. It’s just a bigger challenge than a lot of people think.” Rodriguez says his roster includes 70 or 71 players who came to the school on scholarship, putting more than a dozen former walk-ons on full rides and turning some of them into starters.

He insists that’s not an excuse for starting 4-0 and falling to 5-5, but those facts lead to lingering issues that can’t be fixed in one or two seasons. The problem is, Michigan is not used to rebuilding. The Wolverines enjoyed a postseason streak that lasted three-plus decades before it was snapped last year with a school-record nine losses in Rodriguez’s first season in Ann Arbor. Junior safety Troy Woolfolk said it would be “really sad” if the seniors on the team ended their careers without going to a bowl game in two straight seasons. “The main thing I would want for our team, No. 1 is to beat Ohio State,” Woolfolk said. “Wisconsin, we want to be them too, but we haven’t beaten Ohio State in five years.

Rich Rodriguez

That would be a good accomplishment. “As bad as the season is going, I think it would be redeemed if we beat Ohio State.” College football’s winningest program had a lot of great years and some good ones after Bo Schembechler took the

program over four decades ago. It cruised consistently for the most part under Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr, both of whom were Schembechler assistants. When Carr retired after beating Tim Tebow-led Florida Gators in the 2008 Capital One Bowl, offensive tackle Jake Long, quarterback Chad Henne, running back Mike Hart along with receivers Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington moved on to play in the NFL. Quarterback Ryan Mallett (Arkansas) and guard Justin Boren (Ohio State) were among the many players who have transferred since Rodriguez was hired away from West Virginia, creating more holes — especially on offense.

coordinator in three seasons. The unit has recently had linebackers Obi Ezeh and Jonas Mouton, who have combined to start 50 games, replaced by inexperienced players as it searches for answers. A reporter told Rodriguez some defensive players following Saturday’s 38-36 loss to Purdue said they’re clueless sometimes because they forget what they did in practice. “That’s disheartening,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez acknowledged missed assignments have hurt the defense. “It’s not the same guy all the time,” he said. “It’s somebody different all the time.” Rodriguez, though, says his players know they still have a shot at earning a bowl bid. To everyone else, it just doesn’t seem like the

chances are good for the Wolverines. The Badgers are a 10-point favorite to beat Michigan, which has won only one of eight road games under Rodriguez. The Buckeyes also will be expected to win next week in Michigan Stadium. While on-the-field challenges loom at Michigan, other potential problems are lurking. The school is bracing for possible bad news from the NCAA related to an investigation into whether rules regarding practice hours and offseason workouts have been violated. Rodriguez acknowledged losing games is wearing on him, coaches, players and fans. “But what are you going to do? You don’t have a reset button,” he said. “Just got to learn from it, move on to the next one.”

It was some of the heaviest fighting in the north this year.

Berliners remember fall of wall Germans cheer for Soviet’s Gorbachev on 20th anniversary By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER Associated Press Writer BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev crossed a former fortified border on Monday to cheers of “Gorby! Gorby!� as a throng of grateful Germans recalled the night 20 years ago that the Berlin Wall gave way to their desire for freedom and unity. Within hours of a confused announcement on Nov. 9, 1989 that East Germany was lifting travel restrictions, hundreds of people streamed into the enclave that was West Berlin, marking a pivotal moment in the collapse of communism in Europe. Merkel, who grew up in East Germany and was one of thousands to cross that night, recalled that “before the joy of freedom came, many people suffered.� She lauded Gorbachev, with whom she shared an umbrella amid a crush of hundreds, eager for a glimpse of the man many still consider a hero for his role in pushing reform in the Soviet Union. “We always knew that something had to happen there so that more could change here,� she said. “You made this possible — you courageously let things happen, and that was much more than we could expect,� she told Gorbachev in front of several hundred people gathered in light drizzle on the bridge over railway lines. Tears sprang to the eyes of Uwe Kross, a 65-year-old retiree, who recalled seeing the start of the drama on Nov. 9, 1989 from his home, a block away from the bridge. “That night, you couldn’t stop people,� Kross said. “They lifted the barrier and everyone poured through.

saying that his Solidarity movement provided “incredible encouragement� to East Germans. The bridge crossing was one of a series of events marking Monday’s anniversary of the border’s opening after the wall kept East German citizens penned in for 28 years.

Loving mom who became raging alcoholic is not enough to help

Zits

Dear Annie: My parents had been married 25 years when my father died at age 45. With her world crashing down around her, Mom began drinking. Dad has been gone six years, and my mother has become a full-blown alcoholic. Mom is a mean and hateful drunk. Worse, she gets behind the wheel of her car and doesn’t remember things afterward. I’m scared she is going to hurt herself or someone else. I know she is stronger than she is choosing to be, but how do I help her realize that? She reads your column, and I hope if you print this, she will recognize herself and know I love her and want to keep her around longer. -Worried Daughter in Homosassa, Fla. Dear Worried: Loving her is not enough. Alcoholism is a disease. Mom must want to stop and take the steps to do so. You should contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen. org) at 1-800-4AL-ANON (1-800-425-2666) for support and information. More importantly, you need to notify the police that she is driving drunk. You have an obligation to protect others from your mother’s reckless behavior, and if it means she gets arrested, so be it. It could save her life and the lives of innocent people on the road. Dear Annie: My friend “Lucy” was like a sister to me. She doesn’t drive, so I took her to all her hair appointments, doctor’s visits, shopping, etc. She hated bad weather, so when it rained, I would sit with her. After her surgeries, I was the one who stayed over-

night, helped her bathe and did her housework. I let it pass when she complained about the way I hung the toilet paper and said I didn’t know how to properly fold a blanket. I have a chronic pain illness, which Lucy has never acknowledged. Recently, she was angry when I went out with friends from my support group and accused me of not caring about her. She yelled that I never took her anyplace. Later that day, my husband was admitted to the hospital, and Lucy never once called to see how he was. My grandson moved in last week, and when Lucy didn’t recognize his car, she started rumors that we must be taking in boarders. She did e-mail to say her door is always open, but there was no apology. I no longer feel welcome around her. Still, I miss the friendship I thought we had, even though it was apparently onesided. How do I get over this? -- Hurt and in Pain Dear Hurt: Lucy is one of those people who thinks the world revolves around her. This makes her a selfish friend, but it doesn’t mean you can’t periodically enjoy her company. If you want the friendship, you have to understand its limitations. Don’t put yourself out so much, and don’t expect anything in return. We think, however, that

you ought to make an effort to find new friends who know how to reciprocate. Dear Annie: I do not agree with your advice to “Stewing in the West,” whose sister-in-law left money after a visit. She should not send the money back. Many years ago, my father sent a very generous Christmas check to me, and the same to my three brothers. I knew how limited his income was so I returned the check with a kind note. His feelings were hurt, and he returned it to me. Who was I to tell him what he could or couldn’t do with his money? It’s rude to return a gift. “Stewing” should appreciate her generous sister-in-law and hope she comes to visit again soon. I learned just to say thank you graciously. -Been There Dear Been: There is a huge difference between parents giving their children money as a Christmas gift and guests leaving a “tip,” especially if it insults the hostess. But you are right that things that cannot be changed should be accepted graciously. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
