Weather Today Partly Cloudy
SEVIERVILLE — Mother Nature brought daughter Ida to Sevier County Tuesday and Wednesday, producing heavy rains that flooded parts of the county and washed out others, leading to road closures. According to National Weather Service meteorologist Terry Getz, Sevier County got between 3 and 4 inches of rain as the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida moved through. That led to flood watches and warnings. With the ground already saturated from a year’s worth of heavy rains, landslides were common, ranging from small ones that sent minor debris into roads like Lane Hollow to largescale collapses such as the one that claimed part of Pittman Center Road. Gordon Brugman, a Pittman Center resident who has been helping the fire department, said he was on the scene Wednesday morning shortly after emergency officials received a call about the slide. He arrived to find a considerable portion of the

Heavy rains from the remnants of Hurricane Ida sent high water onto many local streets. northbound lane gone in a portion of Pittman Center Road (Highway 416) near Laurel Creek Road. “The ground gave way underneath a large section of the roadway and it just dropped off down to the river, which is a long way down there,” Brugman said. “There were some really large sections of asphalt miss-
ing.” Fortunately, motorists were able to drive around the slide and there were no major incidents. A sheriff’s deputy was on the scene by mid-morning directing traffic. “When I talked to (Pittman Center Fire Department Chief) Jeff Nichols earlier, he told me there might be more areas than the one that
washed out and that one might get bigger, but I’m not sure if that’s happened,” Brugman said. Tennessee Department of Transportation and county Highway Department offices were closed Wednesday in observance of Veterans Day, so getting an accurate assessment of the extent of the damage or an estimate of what it
might take to fix it was impossible. However, Brugman said the job looked to be considerable given the steepness of the land below the road as it slides down toward the East Prong Little Pigeon River. That waterway, like others across the area, ran dark orange Wednesday, See ida, Page A4

A reminder in Gatlinburg of Fort Hood victims among meaning of service, sacrifice those honored in Sevierville By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

GATLINBURG — Gen. Carl Stiner served as keynote speaker for Gatlinburg’s seventh annual Veterans Day Celebration on Wednesday at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies Plaza by reminding those in attendance it is far too important a holiday to forget. The retired four-star general’s commands included 82nd Airborne Division, XVIII Airborne Corps, the Joint Special Operations Command and Commander in Chief of the United States Special
SEVIERVILLE — Wednesday’s Veterans Day ceremony at the Sevier County Courthouse honored veterans from all branches of the service, including those recently lost in the shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. An Army psychiatrist opened fire at the base last week, killing 13 people before authorities shot and apprehended him. “We must include the victims in Fort Hood,” County Mayor Larry Waters said. “They died in a war, too.”

in an Ohio jail in lieu of $1 million bond. The Toledo Blade newspaper later obtained court documents showing prosecutors said they had a “jailhouse confession� from Zimbeck. Court documents say an inmate told investigators that Zimbeck had admitted to the murder and said he killed her after becoming enraged when Hill tried to end their relationship.
Prosecutor Scott Hassleman also asked the judge to remove the defense attorneys involved in the case. Gregory and Amber VanGunten. Hasselman said Amber VanGutnen violated professional standards during interviews with the media last week where she announced the DNA results, saying they cleared Zimbeck and called the case “absolutely ridiculous."

TOLEDO, Ohio — A Strawberry Plains man charged this year in a 24-year-old murder case is now facing allegations he confessed the crime to an inmate, according to the Toledo Blade. Walter Zimbeck II, 42, is charged with aggravated murder in the death of 14-year-old Lori Ann Hill. Hill’s nude body was found by a hunter in Ohio 24 years ago. Investigators focused on Zimbeck early on because he and Hill had been dating. Media reports have said he cooperated with police at that time and passed a polygraph test in the case. They began looking at him again last year; Sevier County Sheriff Ron Seals said after Zimbeck’s arrest three months ago that Ohio authorities had contacted his office and been to Sevier County several times to interview Zimbeck and collect evidence. His defense attorney said last week that DNA collected from the crime scene did not match Zimbeck’s DNA, and called for his speedy release. He is being held

roiling up out of its banks. On the Middle Prong a short distance from where it joins the East Prong on their way to the French Broad River, water backed up so much that it flooded Snapp Road for the second time in just a few months. Though the road was closed, that didn’t stop at least one motorist from driving around a police barrier and attempting to ford the rushing water. As she did, her vehicle left the roadway and became stuck in a ditch. The woman, who asked not to be identified, said she had come through the area only a short time before and found it clear. A driver behind her believed the water wasn’t very deep and encouraged her to try the drive. He drove off as the water reached her doors, and she was forced to abandon the vehicle. Fortunately for her, Billy Hodges, who lives in the house the woman was stuck in front of, was able to use his heavy-duty truck to pull the SUV out of the ditch, allowing her to drive it out of the water. She was also lucky to dodge an $80 ticket for driving around a police barrier. Hodges said this isn’t the first time this year he’s had to break out his chains. “People are coming through and they don’t realize there’s a hole there where there’s a culvert that’s about five feet deep. I know because I mow the yard,� Hodges said. “I saw her coming and I thought, ‘Oh no, she is going to try it.’ I watched and she almost turned it over when she got in that ditch.� Hodges echoes the advice of emergency officials who caution people never to cross moving water in a flood. “People don’t realize how deep the water is,� Hodges said. Snapp Road, which reopened about 11:30 a.m., was one among nearly 20 local streets that closed for

Gold hits 1 a golden record: Oz.: $1,119
DOW JONES
Name
CHICAGO (AP) — The new gold rush is on. The price of the precious metal is soaring, hitting a record $1,119 an ounce on Wednesday — confounding market analysts who thought there was no way gold would remain so expensive when it first cracked the unheard-of $1,000 mark last year. The remarkable run has implications far beyond savvy investors. In New York’s diamond district, more people started showing up late last year to sell their gold, and the crush hasn’t let up, said Anthony Iannelli, owner of Iannelli Diamonds. “They’re bringing in jewelry from the ’70s and ’80s they don’t wear anymore,� he said. “They’re following the news and see prices are high. They realize they have a little cache, and want to take it out of the vault.� Typically, gold is a safe place for investors to park their money, not something they buy to make money. It doesn’t earn any interest, and because it’s always sought-after, its value tends to be fairly stable. For example, when gold first reached $1,000 it was in March 2008, shortly after the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns. Investors bought it up then because they feared for the stability of the financial system.

The ceremony honored veterans from each branch, and included moments of remembrance for people who died or were injured, prisoners of war and those counted as missing in action and people currently served. It took on added meaning for the crowd not only because of the ongoing War on Terror and the recent deaths on American soil, but because members of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard, including many from Sevier County, have just learned they will be returning to Iraq next year and will leave for training in December. Speaker George Sexton, a retired Marine, also spoke about the work that has gone into getting the new veterans home in Knoxville, and that is still going on to get an outpatient clinic for veterans in Sevierville. “You may not know ... what a struggle it was to get (Ben Atchley Veterans Home) located in our area,� Sexton said.

Bredesen open to furloughs to soften layoffs NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen says he’s open to measures such as furloughs and contract freezes to soften state employee layoffs. Bredesen has asked state agencies to plan for up to 9 percent cuts in their spending plans for the next budget year, which begins July 1, and has said that layoffs of state workers are likely as the state’s poor economy continues to show little improvement. However, the Chattanooga Times Free
Press reported Bredesen saying he’s “very willing” to look at other options because he wants to “try to keep people employed.” “I’ve really tried to preserve jobs when I could,” the governor said. “I’ve been willing to lay people off, but this is a very tough time to go out and try to find a job.” Bredesen is scheduled to begin public budget hearings on Monday and listen as department heads explain where they plan to make additional cuts.
State officials say the cuts are inevitable as Tennessee revenues continue to falter. State Finance Commissioner Dave Goetz announced Tuesday that Tennessee general fund tax collections have missed projections by $88 million through the first quarter of the budget year. He said that sales taxes, which account for two out of every three state tax dollars, fell nearly $40 million short of projections in September. Goetz said there are
$500 million in reductions in the current 20092010 budget that now are being supported by nonrecurring funds from state reserves and federal stimulus funds. He said those funds disappear on July 1, and there are about 500 employee layoffs “baked into the current budget.” House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Nashville, an advocate for state employees, said Bredesen is “working on some things to make these cuts as easy as he can.”

LONDON (AP) — Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood has been divorced by his wife of 24 years on the grounds of adultery. J o W o o d has been granted a decree that is the first of two Wood stages of divorce. The divorce becomes final after six weeks and a day.

The affair was widely covered in Britain’s tabloid press.

commentary
Health care debate all about power As an American, I am embarrassed that the U.S. House of Representatives has 220 members who actually believe the government can successfully centrally plan the medical and insurance industries. I’m embarrassed that my representatives think that government can subsidize the consumption of medical care without increasing the budget deficit or interfering with free choice. It’s a triumph of mindless wishful thinking over logic and experience. The 1,990page bill is breathtaking in its bone-headed audacity. The notion that a small group of politicians can know enough to design something so complex and so personal is astounding. That they were advised by “experts” means nothing since no one is expert enough to do that. There are too many tradeoffs faced by unique individuals with infinitely varying needs. Government cannot do simple things efficiently. The bureaucrats struggle to count votes correctly. They give subsidized loans to “homeowners” who turn out to be 4-year-olds (http://tinyurl.com/yzov923). Yet congressmen want government to manage our medicine and insurance. Competition is a “discovery procedure,” Nobel-prize-winning economist F. A. Hayek taught. Through the competitive market process, we producers and consumers constantly learn things that force us to adjust our behavior if we are to succeed. Central planners fail for two reasons: First, knowledge about supply, demand, individual preferences and resource availability is scattered — much of it never articulated — throughout society. It is not concentrated in a database where a group of planners can access it. Second, this “data” is dynamic: It changes without notice. No matter how honorable the central planners’ intentions, they will fail because they cannot know the needs and wishes of 300 million different people. And if they somehow did know their needs, they wouldn’t know them tomorrow. Proponents of so-called reform — it’s not really reform unless it makes things better — have shamefully avoided criticism of their proposals. Often they just dismiss their opponents as greedy corporate apologists or paranoid right-wing loonies. That’s easier than answering questions like these: 1) How can the government subsidize the purchase of medical services without driving up prices? Econ 101 teaches — without controversy — that when demand goes up, if other things remain equal, price goes up. The politicians want to have their cake and eat it, too. 2) How can the government promise lower medical costs without restricting choices? Medicare already does that (http://tinyurl. com/yectg7h). Once the planners’ mandatory insurance pushes prices to new heights, they must put even tougher limits on what we may buy — or their budget will be even deeper in the red than it already is. As economist Thomas Sowell points out, government cannot really reduce costs (http://tinyurl.com/ yjvlzh9). All it can do is disguise and shift costs (through taxation) and refuse to pay for some services (rationing). 3) How does government “create choice” by imposing uniformity on insurers? Uniformity limits choice. Under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bill and the Senate versions, government would dictate to all insurers what their “minimum” coverage policy must include. Truly basic high-deductible, low-cost catastrophic policies tailored to individual needs would be forbidden. 4) How does it “create choice” by making insurance companies compete against a privileged government-sponsored program? The so-called government option, let’s call it Fannie Med, would have implicit government backing and therefore little market discipline. The resulting environment of conformity and government power is not what I mean by choice and competition. Rep. Barney Frank is at least honest enough to say that the public option will bring us a government monopoly (http://tinyurl.com/l7qoxv). Advocates of government control want you to believe that the serious shortcomings of our medical and insurance system are failures of the free market. Many people are priced out of the medical and insurance markets for one reason: the politicians’ refusal to give up power. Allowing them to seize another 16 percent of the economy won’t solve our problems. Freedom will. — John Stossel hosts a show on the Fox Business Channel and is the author of “Myth, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel — Why Everything You Know is Wrong.” (C)2009 JFS Productions Inc.
Editorial
Broken bond of trust Dennis Bolze will have lots of time to think about how he violated people’s trust in him The nearly year-old saga of Dennis Bolze is almost over. Not so much for him, but at least for his many victims. People who murder are monsters. People who assault and commit treason are monsters. Dennis Bolze is no monster, but he is a sad, pathetic shell of a man now, far removed from the boisterous, bombastic, self-aggrandizing persona that made him a celebrity of sorts in Gatlinburg. To see Bolze walk into a federal courtroom Tuesday shackled, in a prison uniform, with no family or friends there to support him, as he pleads guilty to crimes that likely will send him away forever, probably gives pleasure to his victims. A plea takes away a trial at which they could have testified to his misdeeds and crimes. This way, they may get to speak at his sentencing, but have little real chance to confront the man who stole millions
from people who trusted him. Crimes against people are unforgivable, but how do you rate a crime that violates a sacred public trust? When everything else is stripped away, all we have is our basic trust of each other. When the light is green, we trust that drivers will wait for their red signal to change. We trust banks will hang on to our money, that plumbers will really fix the leaky toilet, that the food we buy is fresh and what it claims to be. Our entire society is based on trusting each other, and when that bond of trust is broken, it hurts and it angers. Lots of people turned over their life savings and retirement accounts to Dennis Bolze. They trusted him to invest that money and make the return on the investment he promised. When things went sour, he created a Ponzi scheme that only dug his hole deeper and sucked in even more victims.
When his crimes were discovered, he fled like a child who runs away from home when he loses his privileges. There is little to admire about Dennis Bolze, but much to pity. A person’s life should be more than an accumulation of wealth and a collection of ostentatious material possessions. A big house, a lavish lifestyle, donations to charities — they are meaningless unless there is honor and integrity behind them. That’s the real tragedy of Dennis Bolze. Most people live lives with ups and downs, successes and failures. It’s how you handle both that determines your worth as a human being and how you are regarded by others. Dennis Bolze was high and mighty with success, but blew it when he experienced failure. Now he has the rest of his life to adjust to a jail cell and think about his actions.

Public forum Lutheran pastor explains statement approved by ELCA
Editor: I write in response to the letter of Nov. 5, 2009, by Rev. Robert Portier, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Sevierville. As an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) pastor, I wish to offer clarification regarding the ELCA. Since 1988 when the American Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Church in America and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches joined together to form the ELCA, homosexual individuals have been ordained and have served as pastors. However, unlike their heterosexual colleagues, these pastors were required to remain celibate. At the recent Churchwide Assembly of the ELCA, 1,045 voting members from across the United States approved the social statement, “Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust.” This social statement addresses marriage, families, pro-
tecting children, friendships, commitment, social responsibility, and same-gender relationships. In addition, a ministry policy was adopted which lifts the celibacy requirement and now allows homosexual pastors to be in lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships. This policy was adopted after decades of study and is grounded in Scripture. We ELCA Lutherans are committed to the authority of Scripture and, as we study the Scriptures, we don’t shy away from digging deep to embrace its meaning for our lives. We ELCA Lutherans are passionate about “the priesthood of all believers.” We believe that everyone is called by God to serve the people of God. Some Christians do this through their vocations as teachers, health care providers, homemakers, grandparents, electricians, and so on. Others are called by God to serve as ordained ministers. While candidates for ordained ministry are required to earn a master’s degree in divin-
ity and need to be go through an extensive approval process by church leaders, they are not disqualified on the basis of their gender or their sexual orientation. Thus, women may serve as pastors of ELCA churches as well as homosexual individuals. We rejoice and give thanks to God for the variety of gifts that all pastors bring to the lives of our 10,500 congregations. We ELCA Lutherans also are passionate about welcoming all people to worship God, to learn God’s Word, and to serve God’s people. I would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to all who read this letter to worship, learn and serve with the congregation of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Gatlinburg. Everyone is welcome — no exceptions. Rev. Janet S. Volk Pastor, Our Savior Lutheran Church Gatlinburg

GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Lady Highlanders hoops squad wants to get offensive this season. After suffering through a 10-16 campaign a year ago — struggling to find any offensive compliment to go along with standout guard Caroline Conner — G-P now believes it has the weapons to put some points on the board and get back to the explosive style of play the Blue-and-Gold had a couple of seasons ago that earned them a winning season and a trip to the regional tournament semi-finals. “Last year, we struggled offensively, but now we’re almost like those teams we had two or three years ago,” said G-P coach Mike Rader. “You know, that team that can just chase your tail off all over the floor, make turnovers happen and then go in and score off of that. “But our goal right now is to just get better in the half court, and that’s what we’re trying to do now.” The Lady Highlanders graduated three seniors and all of their size from last season.

So is it even possible for him to turn it up another notch when he returns to Mississippi, the school that gave him his first shot as head coach and fired him after three seasons? “Yes,” defensive lineman Chris Walker said. “We’ve only seen a little bit of it, and we know he can get a little bit more intense than he’s been. We’re kind of expecting that this week.” If Orgeron has any hard feelings about returning to Oxford, he isn’t saying. The 48-year-old coach has declined all requests for interviews this week. But Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin says it’s natural for any coach to feel a little extra fire when facing a former team — even when that coach is already brimming with intensity. “If you’ve been fired before, if you ever went back to the place you were at, it’s going to be a big deal to you especially when you brought so many great players there and worked so hard, as we all know he does, to try to build that place right,” Kiffin said. And while Orgeron isn’t talking about the past this week, many of his recruits are. The Louisiana native is touted as one of the nation’s top recruiters. It’s what got him the job in Oxford in late 2004 and why coach Lane Kiffin spent $650,000 of his budget for assistant coach salaries on luring Orgeron to Tennessee. Now the rosters at both Ole Miss (6-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) and Tennessee (5-4, 2-3) are stacked with players sought by Orgeron in the past five years. See ORGERON, Page A9

There’s no way the field will be as muddy as it was when G-P and A-E got together on Oct. 17 at Hammonds Field. This Friday night, the Highlanders travel to the District 3-AA rival Roadrunners for Round 2 of the TSSAA state football playoffs. Based on game film from last week’s 32-15 A-E win over Johnson County, the Roadrunner’s field is still in excellent playing condition near the midway point of November.
G-P health issues should not affect Highlanders’ performance By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders gridiron gang has suffered some injuries to a couple of key players the past few weeks, but G-P hopes to continue to overcome the health issues with a Round 2 TSSAA state playoff win this Friday night at Austin-East, the only team to defeat G-P this regular season. TE/DB Ryan Taylor has missed the past three games due to a deep calf bruise that remains persistent and just won’t seem to heal. Taylor is doubtful to see any playing time this Friday night either. “Man, Ryan is a good football player to not have on the football field,” said 38th-year G-P head football coach Benny
Hammonds, who will be going for his 299th career coaching win this Friday night against the Roadrunners, one of just two teams he’s never defeated as a coach. “It looks like Ryan won’t play again this Friday, and we really are going to miss him and wish we had him. He’s a big playmaker both offensively and defensively. “But we’ve just got to continue to have some boys step up and play their best and take up the slack at his positions at tight end and in the secondary. “Turner Merritt has done a good job at tight end for us recently. He’s hungry, he’s playing with an empty stomach. He wants to get things done, he’s working.” Also, Pierce McCarter — who missed much of the season due to a broken leg suffered in pre-
season action — is back at full strength. “Pierce stepped in there last week (against Happy Valley), and he’s doing a good job for us (in the stead of) Ryan (defensively),” said Hammonds. “Hopefully those boys can just keep it up and help us out.” Also, G-P junior starting RB Dillon Reagan, who was by far the leading rusher for the Blue and Gold this season, is back to about 90-95 percent after spraining his ankle during a Wednesday practice before last week’s Round 1 game against visiting Happy Valley, which G-P won 17-7. Reagan played sparingly against Happy Valley, but sophomore RB Terry Phillips helped pick up the slack with 51 rushing yards on seven totes with two TD See G-P BOYS, Page A9
SEATTLE — Ken Griffey Jr. and the Mariners agreed Wednesday to another oneyear contract that will keep the popular player in Seattle next year. Griffey, who turns 40 on Nov. 21, received a contract similar to the incentive-laden deal he signed to return to Seattle for the 2009 season. He is likely to again be a part-time designated hitter in his 22nd season in the major leagues. A 10-time All-Star and the 1997 AL MVP for the Mariners, Griffey hit .214 last season with 19 homers as a part-time DH. He was limited by a swollen left knee that required a second operation last month. Griffey is No. 5 on the career home run list with 630. After spending his first 11 seasons with Seattle, he played nine more with Cincinnati and the Chicago White Sox. Griffey returned to the Mariners this year under rookie manager Don Wakamatsu and helped transform what had been a fractured, bickering clubhouse with his leadership, energy and constant pranks. “I’d like to thank the Mariners organization for inviting me back to play in 2010,” Griffey said in a statement. “While 2009 was an awesome experience for me, my ultimate goal is for the Mariners to get to and win the World Series. To that end, I look forward to contributing in any role that Don sees fit on the field, and any manner I possibly can off the field.” Seattle is convinced Griffey is healthy enough to contribute again next year — though he won’t undergo a physical to formally close his new deal for a couple of more weeks, to give time for the knee to recover.

runs. “Dillon is feeling a lot better the past couple of days,� said Hammonds. “But we’re still planning to use Terry a little more than we have been this Friday night (at A-E). Terry made some good runs out there (against Happy Valley), and he helped us, he did a good job. “And we’ve revamped our offense a little bit (this week). We’re trying to come up with a new wrinkle or two, and hopefully that will help us against Austin-East. Play selection is important, positioning is important. We’re trying to do some things that may give us the opportunity to move the ball a little bit better than we did (against the Roadrunners earlier this season in a 14-7 loss).� Although much the poor offensive showing against visiting A-E on Oct. 17 may have been due to the muddy conditions that night at Hammonds Field. “You won’t find many football games where the field conditions are that bad, that sloppy,� said Hammonds. “That was a very muddy football game. “It won’t be totally dry, but I’m sure (A-E’s) field will be about 90 percent better than ours right now. On film, their field is in par-
Vols redshirt freshman linebacker Herman Lathers was hooked on Orgeron’s recruiting pitch in 2007. “I was. But once Coach O left, I changed my decision,� he said. Walker heard from him too. Orgeron worked on selling Ole Miss to the Memphis native because it was close to home and would give the selfproclaimed mama’s boy plenty of opportunity to play in front of his mother. Walker said he formed a good relationship with Orgeron but had his heart set on getting farther away from home. “He used that on me, and I was like, ’Yeah, you know this is kind of close, and I do want to be near my mom.’ But my mom was going to be wherever I went anyway, so that made it kind of easier (to say no).� Mississippi DE Kentrell Lockett’s recruitment was a little different. Orgeron told Lockett to imagine what it would be like when he became a freshman All-American while leading the nation in sacks. “To a high school student that gives you chills and goose bumps. You have to play for this guy. He has a way of words and just getting you. You think it’s the only guy you can play for,� the junior said. But that’s not how it turned out. When he was hired, Orgeron was considered one of the

some high hopes for some of its young, emerging talent. “We’re going to be starting an average size of 5-foot-6, 5-foot-7 at post this season,� said Rader. “We lost all of our size, so we’re just going to have to scrap for everything. “But if we get some of these juniors — which last year they looked good on JV — and if they are ready for varsity action, then we’ll have some scorers. A lot of these juniors can shoot threepointers.� Beka Owens, Lacee Tinker, Macy Shults, Stephanie Taylor and Makenna Lewis are four of the juniors the Lady Highlanders will be looking to for some points, but sophomore Sami John and freshman Karsen Sims may help provide some of the offense as well. “We should have some threepoint shooting this year, and last year we didn’t have that,� said Rader. “Last year, we had some size but not the shooting. “But that’s what high school is all about, everything changes from year-to-year.� Some of the younger players are getting even more playing time this preseason because Conner — the returning leading scorer for the Blue and Gold — got banged up even before this preseason. “Caroline just can’t seem to stay healthy right now,� said Rader. “She’s just banged up with ankles (from AAU ball) and an arm (from this past weekend). “Caroline is a lot of our offense, and we’re having to work a lot without her right now. When Caroline plays, she adds a lot to our offense, but she’s just really physically banged up right now. “We don’t really start playing (the regular season) until Nov. 30, so we’ll be ready. If Caroline is ready by then, great. If not, these other girls will be ready because they’re here everyday working, and that gives a lot of chances for some of our younger players to get some experience right now.� Time to team build, due to an unusually late start to the regular season this year, is one benefit for the Lady Highlanders, who have been practicing since the final week of October. “This is the latest start I’ve ever had,� said Rader. “We usually at least have a game by Thanksgiving. But TSSAA dropped two games off the schedule, and the way it worked
out, we’re not playing until the 30th.� The G-P boys’s team starts its regular season on Tuesday next week, but that’s because the boys are competing in the TSSAA Hall of Fame games. “But I just don’t believe in doing that,� said Rader. “All we’re doing if we play in that is giving TSSAA some more money. I’d just as soon scrimmage and wait for the regular season to start.� G-P will go about 12 deep on the varsity squad, and Rader intends to make sure most of the girls leave games tired. “I’m going to run them in and run them out,� said the coach. “What’s really neat, when everybody’s healthy, I’ve got 10 to 12 kids that I don’t mind a bit putting into the games.� If one returning senior helped Conner put some points on the board for G-P last season, it was Leah Bryan ... a scrappy 5-foot-7 forward with a relentless motor on the court. Bryan was the second-leading scorer for the team last year. “So, I know I’ve got at least two kids that can score,� said Rader. The only other senior on the G-P roster is 5-foot-9 spark plug Alisha Johnson. “Alisha is the wildcard,� said Rader. “She’s plays every sport we’ve got up here, and she’s just an athlete. “When she plays under control, she’s scary good. She’s that kid who can COUPON REQUIRED

guard a 6-foot post because she’s so quick.� Of all the juniors on the squad, Owens and Taylor may play the biggest roles in a Lady Highlander resurgence this season. “Beka could be one of the keys to our success,� said Rader. “Beka has played well in the past, but she’s one that I’m really needing to step up to the next level. “She works hard and she’s part of the hardest-working group of kids we’ve had. Beka and Stephanie Taylor play as good of defense as you’ll see in a game. They run all over the court and they never let up. Now, if those two can start scoring, we’ll put some points on the board. Those are two girls I would really like to see start putting the ball in the hole, because they’re both great defensive players.� Sims was a dominant force in the county at the middle school level the past couple of seasons, and she
Ryan Taylor ticularly good shape. I don’t see field conditions presenting too much of a problem on Friday night.� Although the Highlanders suffered their only loss of the season against the Roadrunners and the Blue-and-Gold program has never found a way to defeat A-E under Hammonds, G-P is chomping at the bit for another chance at victory. “This gives us an opportunity to play somebody that we lost to this year,� said Hammonds. “Hopefully we can give (A-E) a good match. Our boys are looking forward to going down there, we’re really looking forward to it.� chitchcock@themountainpress.com
is expected to play a key role and a lot of minutes for varsity this year. “You’ve got to mention Karsen right now,� said Rader. “She’s going to be a fun kid to watch over the next four years. If Karsen doesn’t start this year, she’ll play a whole lot.� The Lady Highlanders do have some other talented freshman with size on the come at the post position, but G-P will not bank on the group for a major impact this season. “You don’t usually expect them to come in and make a huge impact their first year, especially at the post position,� said Rader. “But if some of those girls can come in and give us a few minutes by the end of the year, that will make a difference for us by giving us some actual size inside.� G-P moves into a new district this season, playing the likes of Fulton, Austin-East, Carter, Pigeon Forge, Gibbs

regular season). It’s about getting as deep into the (postseason) tournaments as you can go. “Everybody has got roles on this team, and if a lot of our young girls by the end of the year have stepped up their game, I think we’ll be alright. I think we’ll be fun to watch. “Defensively, I know we’ll get the job done. It’s just a matter of these kids stepping up and making the shots they have to make.� chitchcock@themountainpress.com

In Sunday’s issue of The Mountain Press, the story of Pigeon Forge’s EMFC Pee-Wee Super Bowl win over White Pine contained an error. It was actually Christian Blevins who came up with the 30-yard run to put the little Tigers in position for their final score of a 27-0 championship win. The Mountain Press regrets the error.

But he finished 10-25 in three seasons and was fired after the Rebels finished 3-9 overall and winless in the SEC in 2007. He left behind a program stacked with talent but listless after four straight losing seasons. Just days before he was fired, 20 players were put on probation for stealing from a hotel. “We all would like to show him how we’ve developed since he’s been gone,� Rebels senior center Daverin Geralds said. “Especially me, an offensive lineman going against his group.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil emerged Wednesday from a widespread power outage that plunged as many as 60 million people into darkness for hours, prompting security fears and concern from residents about another black eye for a country hosting the 2016 Olympic Games. Power went out for more than two hours in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and several other major cities after transmission problems knocked one of the world’s biggest hydroelectric dams offline. Airport operations were hindered and subways ground to a halt. A group of muggers took advantage of the darkness to rob people en masse near Rio’s Maracana stadium, which will host the Olympics’ opening and closing ceremonies. But overall, police said, crime did not rise in Rio and fell in Sao Paulo during the outage.

New dinosaur species found in S. Africa
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A newly discovered dinosaur species that roamed the Earth about 200 million years ago may help explain how the creatures evolved into the largest animals on land, scientists in South Africa said Wednesday. The Aardonyx celestae was a 23-foot-long small-headed herbivore with a huge barrel of a chest. It walked on its hind legs but also could drop to all fours, and scientists told reporters that could prove to be a missing evolutionary link.

JARRATT, Va. (AP) — Sniper John Allen Muhammad refused to utter any last words as he was executed, taking to the grave answers about why and how he plotted the killings of 10 people that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area for three weeks in October 2002. The 48-year-old died by injection at 9:11 p.m. Tuesday as relatives of the victims watched from behind glass, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses at Greensville Correctional Center, south of Richmond. Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers, who was shot in the head at a Manassas gas station during the spree across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Church group’s conversation dominated by overbearing woman

Dear Annie: My husband and I are both retired. A year ago, we moved in order to be within driving distance of our three married children. We mentioned to our minister that we were new to the area, and he suggested social groups that meet at the church. There are about a dozen women in my group. One of them dominates the conversation to such an extent that I haven’t really had an opportunity to get to know the others. “Helen” talks about her extensive travels, her beautiful garden, her children and grandchildren, and current happenings in the community ad nauseam, and has an uncanny talent for going on to another topic without a break. If anyone else tries to interject, she talks right over them. Last week, my husband and I went to a free concert at the church. When Helen saw us, she waved for us to sit with her. She talked before, during and after each song. I came home with a headache. I am about to drop out of the church group. I was taught that conversation is a two-way street. Must I wear earplugs? -- Frustrated, Any City Dear Frustrated: Nonstop chatterboxes seldom realize how irritating they are, and there is little you can do to shut them up. It’s also possible Helen is hard of hearing and talks incessantly so no one will expect her to respond to a question. Someone should take Helen aside and let her know that she needs to give others the opportunity to speak. Perhaps one of you can
assign her the task of calling on each person so they feel included in the group. If no one is willing to do this, ask the minister to intercede on your behalf. Dear Annie: My fiance and I are getting married in June. We are in our 40s, and it’s not the first wedding for either of us. I am laid off from my job, and my fiance’s hours were drastically cut. We are trying hard to save for a modest wedding, and as long as we stay on track, we should make it. But here is my dilemma. I’m not sure what to do when it comes to wedding gifts. We certainly don’t need any blenders or china, but we don’t want to be greedy by asking for monetary gifts that we could surely use. I have never been to a wedding where the couple is older and it’s a second wedding. Should we state on the invitation that gifts are optional or just leave it alone and see what happens? What is the proper etiquette for gifts at a second wedding? -- Confused Bride in Indiana Dear Indiana: The etiquette is the same for all weddings -- it is improper to mention gifts on the invitation. The best you can do is tell a few close friends and relatives of your preferences and let them spread the word to anyone who asks. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Confused

and Annoyed Teen,” who thinks her parents don’t remember being young. My teenage daughter has many of the same complaints. But parents need to be extra vigilant nowadays. Many of the mistakes teens make today are recorded and can be accessed by hundreds, if not thousands of people. Employers and college admissions officers use the Internet when gathering information on applicants. If someone’s name is associated with a compromising picture, it could ruin their chances of landing the job or getting into the college of their choice. The ramifications of a teenage mistake can last far into their futures. Teenagers are generally funny, intelligent and capable, but they sometimes lack the judgment to see the big picture. It is our job as parents to guide them, allowing them to make some mistakes, and to step in when those mistakes have the potential to severely damage their future. -- Mom of a Teen Dear Mom: You are absolutely right. Kids really need to be careful in this digital world, or it could haunt them forever. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
