Sevier: ‘Retirement hotspot’ Magazine says area one of the top 11 in South to resettle By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer

“That doesn’t surprise me at all. We have people who vacation here all the time and just fall in love with it. It’s a great place to move to for retirement. We have people come to us all the time and say, ‘We vacation here every year and as soon as we retire, we’re moving here.’”

SEVIERVILLE — A regional magazine that focuses on communities for retirees has named Sevier County one of its top 11 “retirement hotspots” in the — Amanda Marr, Sevierville Chamber of Commerce marketing director South.

Because the magazine is not 100,000, cited the area’s stable beauty of the Smoky Mountains, economy, variety of activities, the according to information released out yet, it’s not clear where on

the list Sevier County falls or what other areas also made the top 11.

Fee-Hedrick donate $25K to shelter in honor of Miss Ellie By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

PIGEON FORGE — The Comedy Barn Theater’s Miss Ellie, semifinalist in the AllAmerican Dog Food Pet Brand Cutest Dog Competition, didn’t win a spot as one of the top four finalists in the contest — but she still garnered $25,500 for the Sevier County Humane Society. A party was thrown at The Comedy Barn in Miss Ellie’s honor on Thursday afternoon, with special performances from the theater’s cast, plenty of food, and bags and buttons with Miss Ellie’s image for sale. Theater co-owner Jim Hedrick announced that although their prized dog didn’t make it to the finals, she received more votes than any of the other 60,000 dogs in the weekly contests (the finalists can be seen at www.cutestdogcompetition.com). “She got this far because of all of you,” Hedrick told attendees. “If she had made it to the top four, she would have received $5,000 — so on behalf of The Comedy Barn, we present her with $5,000.” Toward the end of the presentation, co-owner David Fee surprised the crowd with another $5,000 donation from The Comedy Barn and said he would also give

Salvation Army starting angel, kettle campaigns By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Plenty of folks will pass an angel tree or a red kettle in the coming weeks throughout Sevier County and give neither a second thought. Justin Caldwell knows the real impact of both, though. He’s seen it from both sides, too. “When I was kid, my mom was raising us three boys on her own,” Caldwell remembers. “She got help from the Salvation Army. She had gone to a line on Christmas Eve, I believe it was, and was waiting for help from a Catholic organization. She didn’t want to ask for help but File photo/The Mountain Press she had finally reached a point where she knew she had to.

Pittman VFD gets means to stay fit 13 new exercise machines installed From Submitted Reports PITTMAN CENTER — With the recent installation of 13 machines, Pittman Center Volunteer Fire Department members and their families now have access to state-ofthe-art fitness equipment. From low-tech traditional free weights to computer programmed elliptical trainers and treadmills, department members can customize a fitness program that suits their needs and goals. Members are even eligible for physicals and a consultation with a trainer to ensure they approach their fitness goals safely, according to firefighter Rosemary Nichols. “The equipment cost $27,000,� said Nichols. “The money came from an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), which is a federal program.� Department members and their families met at the new exercise room recently to be briefed on the new machines and their proper use.

Planners pay homage to Joe Irwin Panel member died in October By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Sevier County Planning Commission members took time during their meeting to remember one of their own, observing a moment of silence for Joe Irwin, who died in October. “Joe was a very faithful member,” Chairman Jack McMahan said. “He never missed if he could help it.” McMahan said Irwin died about the time of the group’s October meeting. The group unanimously voted to ask the County Commission to pass a resolution honoring Irwin’s service.

With one item withdrawn before the meeting’s start, there were only two matters before the commission on Tuesday. The first was a request from Charles Atchley Sr. that property he owns in the 3800 block of Douglas Dam Road be rezoned from A-1 (agricultural) to C-1 (rural commercial) to allow him to construct apartments, storage units and a warehouse. County Planner Jeff Ownby pointed out the same property came before the commission several times on similar requests before Atchley purchased it. In each instance the petition was denied with concerns about access to the site. At the time, the only option for building a driveway to the land was

through a 50-foot easement granted by a neighboring subdivision, and planners and residents were concerned about the potential of a commercial development using such a right of way. Atchley bought not only the land in question but also some with frontage on Douglas Dam Road that will allow him to build a road without using the easement. His total holding there now is about 19 acres, and all of it except the parcel in question already had an appropriate zoning, Ownby said. Atchley’s request was approved by the Planning Commission with the stipulation that he will not be accessing the land through the granted right of way. The group also gave the go-ahead to rezone prop-

erty at 363 Thorngrove Pike, owned by Richard Carter, from A-1 to R-2 (high-density residential). Carter plans to use the land, along with some other property he owns around it, to build a subdivision, for which he received concept approval in early 2006. That was before the county implemented zoning, though, and the new rules wouldn’t allow Carter’s development under its A-1 zoning. That’s because the lots Carter proposed are too small for the A-1 zone. Work on the site has been ongoing for about three years and the move did nothing but correct the zoning to allow a previously approved subdivision, Ownby said. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

SHS band, football ‘Giving a Little Back’ By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEYMOUR — The Seymour High School band and football team will be serving up “breakfast for dinner” from 4-8 p.m. Saturday at Connie’s Kitchen — and it’s all in honor of giving back to the community. “Just Giving a Little Back” is a program run through the SHS Band Boosters that provides families in need with food, clothing, help with bills and even Christmas trees during the holidays. “When we lived in Florida, we always did a big holiday party (for those in need) because we wanted to teach our children about charity,” said Tom Fitzharris, who has two children in the school’s band. “When we moved up here, we teamed up with the Seymour band. We helped three families last year. This year, we wanted to kick it up a notch, so we asked the football team to join us.” The program is based on “the power of multiplication,” Fitzharris said. “If every kid in just the band

went out and asked 10 people for $1, we’d have $1,000 right there.” Finding families in need is a process the group is “still developing,” he said. “Right now, it’s through word of mouth and churches. We look at the families’ situations and decide who to help based on needs and

finances.” The SHS band raised more than $1,500 last year. Fitzharris said the group hopes to raise at least $5,000 this year. “One hundred percent of every dollar we raise will go to a family in need,” he said. “We’ll be raising funds throughout Christmas, but

SEVIERVILLE — The Public Building Authority could be ready to extend Veterans Boulevard as soon as this spring. During the PBA’s regular meeting, Bob Bowers of Wilbur Smith Associates said his firm could complete plans for an extension over the Little Pigeon River by early next year. “We would expect the construction plan to be finished by spring, so the city would be prepared whenever it wants to do it after that,” Bowers said. Last month, the PBA voted to alter its course, from having Wilbur Smith design the right of way for an extension running to Highway 66 across from Gists Creek Road, to detailed construction plans for the first leg of that route. The extension would add a bridge across the Little Pigeon River, and run to Robert Henderson Road, giving people living or

working along that road access to an Highway 66 at an intersection with a traffic light. Traffic coming off that road on Dolly Parton Parkway currently attempts to enter the busy highway without a light. “This project will be of immediate benefit to the community,” City Administrator Steve Hendrix said. Wilbur Smith will get $276,100 for completing the plans. On the other hand, the company will now be getting less money on a contract to complete the overall right of way and design work on the project. Hendrix Hendrix explained the PBA made several changes in the project, chiefly in doing away with a planned flyover that would have taken traffic over Dolly Parton Parkway. That eliminated about $500,000 from the cost of the right of way design, he said. n jfarrell@themountainpress.

and just fall in love with it. It’s a great place to move to for retirement. We have people come to us all the time and say, ‘We vacation here every year and as soon as we retire, we’re moving here.’� Like the magazine’s editors, Marr cited things such as the beauty of East Tennessee and the relatively low cost of living as signs this is a good place for the newly- and longtime retired. “The area just offers so much to do,� Marr said. “It’s a great place for your family to get together. It’s a great place when you have your grandkids coming to visit. Plus, I think a lot of people will find it’s so affordable compared to a lot of other places.� Marr points out real estate in the county is considerably cheaper than in other popular retirement destinations

of $355,000. The county’s three cities give a combined 50 percent and the humane society’s board of directors is expected to generate the other 50 percent. A third of the budget comes from community support, board president Sally Worden said. A video of the Sevier County Animal Shelter, which was built 35 years ago, was shown to the event’s attendees. Peeling paint, leaking ceilings and hand-tied cages — along with limited space — are all problems that need to be taken care of, and quickly.

such as Florida or the West Coast. Beyond that, the county’s property tax rate is the lowest in the state, and those senior citizens who qualify can even get their taxes frozen at a certain level. All that adds up to a great place to retire, says Jane Foraker, who directs activities at the Fort Sanders Sevier Senior Center. “I believe it,� Foraker said when told of the recognition. “The weather is mild, it’s affordable here and we’ve got that great southern hospitality. I think it’s just a great place for retirees and everyone else.� The editors at Retirement Lifestyles agree, pointing out Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are great for those looking to relocate after retirement. Foraker has seen firsthand that it didn’t take the list to make Sevier County an apparently popular place to relocate for the golden years, though. A large

We’re not crying wolf; we’ve got to do something and we’ve got to do something fast.� Original humane society board member Ron Nelson is an architect who has drawn plans proposing a facility. As an avid animal lover, he submitted them to the humane society free of charge.

number of those who take part in the activities at the center are from other states, and a visitor to the facility is likely to hear a range of accents. Once they get here, Foraker and the other folks at the center work hard to help them build connections and find ways to experience their community, including outings such as the trip to Country Tonite theater Foraker took a group on Thursday afternoon. That effort, they believe, really helps improve the quality of life for those who don’t have deep roots in this area, as well as those

whose families have roots going back generations. “The senior center provides a family atmosphere for our folks,� Foraker says. “It really does become a family. It’s a positive place and I think that adds a lot to everyone’s life, including mine.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Hemlock breaks ground on $1.2B plant in Clarksville Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:03 PM EST

NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content

CLARKSVILLE (AP) — Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. and Tennessee officials on Thursday broke ground on a $1.2 billion plant and renamed the road leading to the sprawling facility “Solar Way.� The plant will produce polysilicon, a raw material used to make solar cells and semiconductor devices. Before remarks at a groundbreaking ceremony, Gov. Phil Bredesen noted that the sun was shining into the faces of people gathered in the audience and said: “It’s very appropriate, because that is the future up there.� The plant is scheduled to be completed in 2012 and create more than 800 construction jobs and is expected to have about 500 full-

time employees when complete. Bredesen said the decision by Hemlock to build the plant in Tennessee has laid the groundwork for the solar industry in the state. “This is part of what helped to get it all started,� he said. “It takes that next step to position us as a real leader in the solar industry.�

ATLANTA (AP) — Cigarette smoking rose slightly for the first time in almost 15 years, dashing health officials’ hopes that the U.S. smoking rate had moved permanently below 20 percent. A little under 21 percent of Americans were current cigarette smokers, according to a 2008 national survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s up slightly from the year before, when just 19.8

percent said they were smoking. It also is the first increase in adult smoking since 1994, experts noted. The increase was so small, it could be just a blip, so health officials and experts say smoking prevalence is flat, not rising. But they are unhappy. “Clearly, we’ve hit a wall in reducing adult smoking,� said Vince Willmore, spokesman for the Campaign for tobaccoFree Kids, a Washington, D.C.-

based research and advocacy organization. There’s a general perception that smoking is a dying public health danger. Feeding that perception are indoor smoking laws, cigarette taxes and Congress’s recent decision to allow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco. But health officials believe gains have been undermined by cuts in state tobacco control campaigns. Also, the tobacco

industry has been discounting cigarettes to offset tax increases and keep smokes affordable, Willmore said, citing tobacco industry sales data. The adult smoking rate has been dropping, in starts and stops, since the mid-1960s when roughly 2 out of 5 U.S. adults smoked. Now it’s 1 in 5. However, federal health goals for the year 2010 had hoped to bring the rate down to close to 1 in 10.

carrying on their branches the hopes of 750 local children looking for a brighter Christmas. That number is up by 175 from last year, a sign of the extraordinary need Caldwell has seen throughout the year. “People are really hurting this year,� Caldwell says. “When you’ve got to pay your bills, Christmas is kind of last on the list. My heart goes out to these kids. If the community doesn’t help them, they won’t get a Christmas. That’s just a shame.� Cadlwell is somewhat hoping beyond hope that the angels will “fly off the trees,� as he puts it, this year. That seems a mite optimistic considering last year with 575 children to help the Army nearly didn’t make it and had to send out a last-minute plea for help. Beyond that, Caldwell admits giving has been pretty flat this year as folks have worried about their own bottom lines. Still, he points out it only takes a small contribution to help, of time or money. The Salvation Army is looking for folks to spend even just an hour ringing the bell, manning one of those red kettles. With the angel trees going up, there’s also plenty of need for people to help make Christmas a little better for those

750 children whose parents, like Caldwell’s, were willing to wait in line and ask for help to make sure there would be at least a few presents come Dec. 25. Caldwell asks those who take an angel to buy some warm clothes and at least one toy, with a full description of what’s needed on the angel itself. Even those who don’t want to adopt an angel can help by bringing new, unwrapped children’s clothing and toys to the Salvation Army office on Kathern Street just off Chapman Highway in the

coming weeks. Monetary donations can also be used to help purchase items for the children. The group will distribute what it collects out of a store front in the Belz Mall in Pigeon Forge, thanks to a donation of the space by the folks at that outlet center. They’ll need a few volunteers to help with that effort Dec. 18-19. For more information about helping or to volunteer, call the Salvation Army office at 908-4010.

that’s when she felt her lowest because she knew she wasn’t going to be able to give us kids a Christmas. But somehow, I still don’t know how, the people at the Salvation Army found out about it. I can still remember the feeling when a van pulled up in front of our house with Christmas toys.� It’s a feeling that still makes Caldwell emotion and helped lead him into his career, in which he currently serves as a lieutenant and the commanding officer of the local Salvation Army corps. That’s where he’s gotten to know the meaning of angel trees and red kettles from the other side, and why he’s calling on Sevier County folks to step forward and help their own in need this Christmas season. The last two months of the year are the busiest for the Salvation Army. Bell ringers will take those trademark red kettles out to about 20 locations across the county starting Monday, while another group of volunteers will help distribute baskets containing Thanksgiving feasts to local families later this month. Perhaps most importantly, those trees with the little paper angels will be going up at businesses throughout the county over the next few days,

Subsidized health program capped NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s subsidized health care plan will stop accepting new enrollment at the end of next month because of budget constraints. The CoverTN program targets the uninsured who aren’t eligible for Medicaid. Under the plan, the state kicks in one-third of the monthly premium, while employers have the option of paying for another third. Each third averages about $60 per month. CoverTN’s recent

enrollment period resulted in more than 2,500 new members, program director Gerald Reed said in a news release Thursday. But he said the state “must continue to manage the program within our budget capacity.” “This really is a bittersweet moment for CoverTN,” Reed said. As of last month, CoverTN had about 21,000 enrollees. Current members and participating businesses, as well as those who have

been approved for coverage in January 2010, won’t be affected by the suspension, Reed said. Any business or individual wishing to begin the enrollment process has until Nov. 30 to prequalify with the state. Last month, the state announced it was ending enrollment at the end of this month for CoverKids — Tennessee’s health insurance program for children — also because of budget limitations. CoverKids is Tennessee’s version of the

commentary

Moderate Republicans new target Was George Santayana right when he said that those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it? Well, perhaps the Republican Party can test that thesis for the rest of us. Forty-five years ago the Republicans in convention — the convention that nominated Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater for president — tried to boo New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller off the stage when he said: “These extremists feed on fear, hate and terrorism. They encourage disunity ... The Republican Party must repudiate those people.” It was no tea party, that one. Angry Goldwater delegates began booing and chanting, “We Want Barry!” Many of the people in the hall wanted Rockefeller out of the party at least as much as they wanted Goldwater in the White House. “Rockefeller was the enemy!” said Richard Viguerie, who was one of the most enthusiastic chanters in the balcony. He was 30 years old then and was soon to become an important figure in the “New Right,” the branch of the party that wanted liberals, and moderates too, out so that the Grand Old Party would be a pristine conservative vehicle. Maybe a Model T. Goldwater, of course, went down in one of the greatest landslides in the history of presidential elections. Many raw conservatives ended up more or less in the wilderness or underbrush until they felt free to come out into the open again during Ronald Reagan’s run for president in 1980. It seemed to me then that the big story of last Tuesday’s cluster of elections was not the Democratic defeats in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, but the amazing race in the 23rd Congressional District of New York, a relatively poor area where trees greatly outnumber residents. Most of that area — congressional district lines have changed over time — has sent only Republicans to Washington since 1871. On Tuesday, a Democrat named Bill Owens was elected over a moderate Republican and a Conservative Party candidate named Douglas Hoffman. How could that happen? Well, conservatives were out of the woods again. Local Republican leaders in 11 counties had given the nomination to a state assemblywoman, Dede Scozzafava. National Republican trumpeters, led by radio talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, proclaimed that Scozzafava was too liberal on social issues, particularly abortion and gay marriage. Sarah Palin and money from conservatives all over the country poured in, and Scozzafava was effectively marginalized and quit the race, throwing what support she had to Owens. National party leaders were humiliated, but they quickly joined the push for Hoffman. In the name of party unity, they abandoned their own nominee. Owens defeated Hoffman in a race close enough that national conservatives probably found encouragement in their drive to marginalize all moderate Republicans. (There are no liberal Republicans of the Rockefeller type to eject anymore. The last ones standing, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Leach, were defeated in 2006.) The new New Right, I suspect, will be a major factor in the 2010 congressional election. Establishment Republicans are celebrating party victories in Virginia and New Jersey — good for them — but it is no longer a joke when folks say Limbaugh is the real leader of their party. The radio conservatives will almost certainly be challenging establishment Republicans across the country. When the new New Right cannot choose the Republican candidate, which is what happened in upstate New York, they are going to use or try to create third parties. That was easy under New York election laws because the state has had a small but real Conservative Party on the ballot since the early 1960s. Santayana’s quote about history is not the only relevant thought about what these off-off-year elections showed. It was Henry Clay who said he’d rather be right than be president. Clay was exaggerating more than a bit, but conservatives are going to demand that Republicans be Right before they can be president — and history will repeat itself in defeat. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Editorial

Timely justice?

D.C. sniper executed after only 7 years, but it doesn’t quiet debate On the iconic and groundbreaking 1970s CBS sitcom “All in the Family,” Edith Bunker was asked by her son-inlaw, Michael “Meathead” Stivic, if she believed in capital punishment. Her reply was priceless. “As long as it isn’t too severe.” There are those who think lethal injection was too good for John Allen Muhammad, who went to his death in Virginia on Tuesday night. There are those who think that no matter how heinous the crimes committed by Muhammad and his partner, then teenager Lee Boyd Malvo, that taking even a murderer’s life is wrong. That Muhammad was executed is not earth-shattering news in itself. After all, Muhammad and Malvo, the infamous D.C. snipers, went on a rampage that left 10 people dead and left people in the Beltway afraid to go shopping, cut grass or even pump gas. They were — are — also suspected of fatal shootings in Louisiana, Alabama and Arizona. What is noteworthy about Muhammad’s execution is that it happened barely seven years after he and Malvo were arrested in October 2002.

Seven years? That’s unheard of in a day when men and women sometimes spend decades on death row as the maddening appeals process drags on and on. Families and friends of victims, wanting their pound of justice and some sense of closure, can only wring their hands as their frustration grows. Muhammad’s execution — and the relatively short period of time he spent on death row — could grate on the nerves of East Tennesseans, it coming on the heels of recent convictions of Lemaricus Davidson and his brother, Letalvis Cobbins, in the Knoxville carjacking/rape/murder of 21-year-old Channon Christian and her 23-year-old boyfriend Christopher Newsom. As the trial of Davidson recently unfolded in Knoxville, the families of the young couple watched emotionally in the courtroom and were vocal in the media about the anguish they were going through, and the punishment they thought he deserved. While Cobbins and Davidson have been sentenced to death, it is unlikely they will meet their maker anytime soon.

A 2004 report showed that the average amount of time a prisoner spends on death row in Tennessee is 13.22 years. A survey taken after Davidson was sentenced shows that there are currently 87 men and two women waiting to die in this state. In the book “Dead Man Walking,” Sister Helen Prejean, an advocate for death row inmates, often talked with the families of murder victims after the executions had been carried out. She reported that the families still had the profound sense of loss and were still angry about the murders — but now that the murderer had been executed, there was no one left at whom to direct that anger. No question, the families and friends of those victimized by the D.C. snipers cheered the execution of Muhammad earlier this week and were pleased that it took only seven years. Those on the other side no doubt feel justice would have equally have been served by allowing Muhammad to live out his life confined to a tiny jail cell 23 hours a day. It’s a compelling debate. Where do you stand?

Political view

Public forum Roe urged to support House health care reform package

Editor: Here in East Tennessee the unemployment rate is high. People who had TennCare lost that health care coverage, and those of us who have a minimum of health care coverage through Medicare or other sources have something now to look forward to. With no help from U.S. Rep. Phil Roe. On Saturday, Nov. 7, a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives made history by passing H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act. After nearly a century of false starts, this was the first time a chamber of Congress has ever passed comprehensive health insurance reform. This is an historic accomplishment. Representatives who voted for this bill deserve thanks for resisting tremendous pressure from the insurance industry lobbyists and standing up for their constituents. Those who did not vote for the bill have one last opportunity to reconsider and support reform in the upcoming final House vote — and they should do so. A vote for this bill was a vote to provide secure and stable coverage for Americans with insurance, expand coverage for those who do not have insurance, lower costs for families and businesses, and begin to reduce the deficit. Rep. Roe, will you please support reform in the

upcoming final House vote?

Proper display of American flag Insurance through employer should be important to everyone far too expensive for most people Editor: Editor: Americans need health care help now. To all the representatives of Congress that voted for the passing of HR 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, I give you my many thanks. To those that voted against the act, I have to tell you that as a mother of three daughters with a poverty level income, I have been watching the progress of this act with much anticipation. You see, my ex-husband will be losing his health insurance on our daughters come January when the plant he works at closes its doors. At my employer the insurance is so very expensive that it would take more than a third of my bring-home pay in order to cover the girls. I am appalled at the cost of even basic health care coverage in what is supposed to be one of the world’s leading countries. We need change now so that we can cover not only ourselves but also our children. If we do not have reform soon, then we will not be able to take care of our children, let alone ourselves. I think it is much wiser to gain control of health care costs now, for everyone.

I would like to commend Food City in Sevierville for properly displaying the flag of United States of America. I drove through their parking lot the other night and saw that it was properly lit for flying 24 hours a day. I know it is only a flag flying to some, but to me it is a symbol of everything we have fought for or against. Many businesses and individuals do not take the time to see when and how to display the flag. As a veteran, I always feel a sense of pride when I see the flag displayed in the correct manner. If you do not know how to properly display the American flag, there are plenty of Web sites to check out how and when it should be flown. Please do not fly a flag that has seen better days. When I would drive my son to Sevier County High School, I would feel a sense of pride when I would see the flag being raised every morning and then taken down every afternoon. I know they still practice this, and I also commend SCHS for properly displaying the flag outside the vocational school. Thank you to all that have taken the time to properly display our American flag. Helen Meehan Sevierville

Three Vol football freshmen face charges Jackson’s lawyer claims defenisve back’s innocence By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — Three freshmen Tennessee football players, including highly touted wide receiver recruit Nu’Keese Richardson and starting safety Janzen Jackson, were charged with attempted armed robbery Thursday morning.

defensive back Mike Edwards, 18, and companion Marie Montmarquet, 22, were each charged with three counts of attempted armed robbery in connection with an incident at a gas station in an area known as “The Strip” at Janzen Jackson the edge of Tennessee’s campus.

Pigeon Forge’s Tigers hope to achieve with homegrown talent By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PIGEON FORGE ­— Everyone has already counted them out, except themselves. The Pigeon Forge Tigers basketball team — which finished last year with a 7-21 mark — has moved into the new District 3-AA this season and will have to contend with the likes of the back-to-back state champions in Fulton, the 27-win Austin-East Roadrunners, Carter with its two Division I prospects, county rival Gatlinburg-Pittman, 20-win Union County and Gibbs, which defeated Union County last season. The Tigers know they will be considered the underdog in almost every game this year, but they are a scrappy bunch relishing that role and will fight every team they’re on the court with until the final buzzer. “Nobody really gives us much of a shot,” said thirdyear Tigers coach Jonathan Shultz. “But we practice like we believe we can compete, and we’ll go out and do the best that we can do with what we have. “People aren’t giving us a chance. You’ve got other coaches out there who haven’t played a game yet that basically aren’t giving us a chance to beat them. If they want to put us in that role, then we’ll take it … and then we’ll go out onto the court and see how well we can do. “We have our identity. We

Highlanders cruise to scrimmage win over Jefferson County 66-49 By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer PITTMAN CENTER ­— The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders easily handled the visiting Jefferson County Patriots 66-49 during Thursday night’s scrimmage at Pittman Center Elementary School. The score could have been worse, but the G-P junior varsity squad finished out the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. “I was very pleased with our effort,” said G-P coach Raul Placeres. “We’ve been killing each other for nine days since our last scrimmage, so it was a good time to play somebody else. “This scrimmage is a good indicator of where we’re at. We’ve gotten a lot

better since the Catholic scrimmage. Everybody got minutes, and everybody got to play. So, I’m very pleased, and we’re looking forward to next week and to getting the season started.” G-P looked tight to start the scrimmage Thursday night and actually trailed 13-9 by the end of the first quarter, but when junior Morrease Barber opened up the second quarter with a power slam, the crowd got into it along with the rest of the Highlander squad. G-P junior Jose Agosto followed quickly with a steal and an uncontested lay-up to knot it at 13s in the opening minute of the second quarter, and it was all Blue and Gold after that. By intermission, the Highlanders led 28-19.

Agosto got in on the dunking action with 3:37 in the third quarter after making a half court steal and taking it in for the one-handed slam to give G-P a 39-27 edge at the time. Highlanders senior Marquise Wall led the G-P scoring attack with 16 points, and senior McKinley Maples added 11 points, six steals and five assists in the scrimmage win. Agosto finished the night with 10 points, six boards, five steals and two blocks. Barber added nine points, five boards, three steals, a couple of blocks and two assists. G-P junior Jon McCroskey also added nine points with five assists and a block. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

PREP FOOTBALL COMMENTARY AND PREDICTIONS

Highlanders have their hands full with A-E tonight The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders will have their toughest test of the season tonight, as they travel to Austin-East to take on the Roadrunners in the second round of the TSSAA football playoffs. The Roadrunners (8-3, 6-0 vs. District 3-AA foes) dealt the Highlanders (10-1, 5-1 vs. 3-AA) their only loss of the season back on Oct. 16 in the swamp called Hammonds Field. As the rain came down that night, the field conditions became the worst I’ve ever seen in person at a high school football game. The muck seemed to favor the Highlanders, as Austin East had trouble getting the ball to their playmakers. Late in the game G-P led 7-6, but a punt to Roadrunner returner Sheldon Wade did something A-E couldn’t do —

got the ball to a playmaker in space. Eighty-five yards later the Roadrunners had the lead for good, as G-P couldn’t score a second touchdown on the sloppy field. Tonight the teams will have much better conditions, despite rain earlier in the week. I think that gives the Roadrunners’ offense better chance to get going against the tough Highlander defense. I think the game will be close most of the way, but in the end, A-E will come away with the win. — Roadrunners win 24-14

know that we’re not going to get out there and press these teams, and run with them and compete with them like that. But we also know that if we play smarter and harder than they do, we’ve got a chance to beat them. We had our best summer this year. We have no Division I players on this team, but it’s really a group of guys that I’m proud of because how hard they work. “We’re just a bunch of Pigeon Forge kids representing our community, and we’ll do the best we can. I’m happy to watch these guys play, and I think they deserve the (playing) time they get.� Despite the long odds against them, the Tigers have some lofty goals this season, which include qualifying for the region tournament. “We want to be competitive in the district, and we want to make the region tournament. To make the region tournament, it means you’re top four. We believe we can do that, and we’re preparing to do that. We’ll be the underdog, but once you get into the tournament, if you can pull an upset, you can advance. Once you get to the region, with our district being so much tougher than

the other, you’ve got a shot to advance from there. “But we’ve not put a number on expectations for wins.� Whatever success Pigeon Forge achieves this year, it will be done without departed graduates Adam Guinn, Mark Isaacs, Logan Smelcer, Cody Dixon, Tommy Todd and John Bowling. The Tigers do have some talent and experience returning, however, in seniors Justin Kilgore, Ben Cave, Justin Carter and Billy Hewett, juniors Aaron Justus, Benton Tinker and Caleb Ownby, and sophomore Andy Barnett. “We lost all our size,� said Shultz. “We’re definitely smaller, and we also lost Cody Dixon, our starting point guard for two years, so he’ll be really hard to replace. “So right now, my biggest concerns are lack of size and inexperience at the point guard position.� Kilgore and Justus will combine to run the point for the Tigers this season, and the Orange and Black will rely on Carter and Cave — last year’s top two returning scorers for the team — for some points. Senior Ryan Crowe, who transferred to Pigeon Forge last year from Kingston, will also contribute on the scoreboard in his first season with the Tigers.

“Ryan can shoot the ball,� said Shultz. “Offensively, he’ll be one of our top four guys, definitely. “But he’s still got to learn man-to-man defense and stuff like that, because he wasn’t taught how to play man-to-man in Kingston.� Rounding out the starting five will be the 6-foot-2 post player Hewett. “Billy Hewett is going to be starting at the 5-spot, and he’s going to have to play big for us,� said Shultz. “He’s a hard worker, and he’s really good defensively.� Ownby, a shooting guard, will come in off the bench as the 6th or 7th man, but it’s possible he may earn some starts this year.

Tinker adds some depth and versatility off the bench and is capable of playing several positions. Sophomores Andy Barnett, guard, and Curtis Jordan, post, will contribute as well. Overall, Shultz believes the 2009 Tigers will be a better shooting team than last year’s edition. That, combined with court smarts, will help Pigeon Forge be better than it has the past couple of seasons. “We have a group that understands basketball, and we believe we can do more than we’ve done in the past,� said Shultz. “If we were in another district, I think we’d be competing for the top two spots.

Sevier Starz find success at Tennessee State Championship The BUSC Sevier Starz U15 Boys soccer team traveled to Cookeville earlier this month to compete in the prestigious Tennessee State Championship and came away with an impressive 3rd place finish. The weather was unseasonably warm, the soccer complex enviable, all of the fields were in great shape and the level of play was high for the tournament. Not many knew anything about the unranked Starz when the tournament started but the buzz grew as this group of unknowns forced their head above the crowd. The team, coached by Frank Cravens of Sevierville, had a single goal throughout the current season — to win the state championship. Before the end of the first game, telephones were ringing in across Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Seymour to find out about the team, which has eight U15 players and seven players playing up one or two years. Game one was played late Saturday afternoon against a very strong Jackson (Tenn.)Wolves team and resulted in a 4-0 win for the Starz. The strong defensive effort led by Harrison Genseal, McKinley Matthews, Tyler Hounshell, Grant Gourley,

first arrested during the tenure of first-year coach Lane Kiffin, who on Thursday said he would not make any comment on the situation until he knew more. Kiffin’s predecessor, Phillip Fulmer, was often criticized for being too lax on a number of his players who had discipline problems. “We’re gathering all the information so we don’t know exactly what happened. Unfortunately there was an incident. We made it 11 months and 11 days without (any incidents). We’ll deal with the information as it comes in,” Kiffin said. Kiffin also declined to say if he had spoken with any of the players or what kind of discipline they might be facing. He also refused to comment on how the incident would affect the Volunteers as they prepare to travel to Mississippi on Saturday. The three victims told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle just before 2 a.m. Thursday at a gas station near Tennessee’s campus when two males dressed in hooded jackets, one brandishing a handgun, approached and demanded, “Give us everything you’ve got.” “The victims stated that they all presented their wallets to the suspects and showed them that they did not have money,” the police report said. “The victims stated that a third black male then approached and told the other two black males, ’We’ve got to go.”’

The three suspects were seen leaving in a Toyota Prius, and police pulled over a vehicle matching the description nearby. Police spotted a pellet gun and hooded jackets and later found drug paraphernalia and a bag of what appeared to be marijuana. Police say Montmarquet told them the drug paraphernalia and substance belonged to her and she was charged with simple possession. The victims identified Richardson and Edwards as the men who approached their vehicle. The incident happened at a gas station operated by Pilot, a company founded by former Tennessee football player and longtime booster Jim Haslam. Tennessee’s outdoor foot-

ball practice field is named Haslam Field in his honor. Richardson, a highly touted recruit from Pahokee, Fla., originally committed to Florida but switched to Tennessee after being recruited by coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin joked in a February recruiting celebration that Florida coach Urban Meyer cheated in trying to keep Richardson as a Gator, earning Kiffin a reprimand from the Southeastern Conference. Richardson had told Kiffin recently he was frustrated with his lack of production but scored his first touchdown in a 56-28 win over Memphis on Saturday. He’s had six catches this season for 58 yards and served as a punt return specialist. Edwards, a Cleveland,

The reason for his interest? To invite them to participate in the Olympic Development Program. “It has truly been an honor to coach this very special group of young men,” coach Frank Cravens said. “This is my second season with this team and we have proven that we have athletes here in our community that can compete with teams from larger communities.” Tom Leonard and Frank Cravens also coach a highly successful Division One ladies soccer team.

Army: Fort Hood suspect is charged with murder

Taylor Swift and her band react as she wins “Entertainer of the Year” award at the 43rd Annual Country Music Awards in Nashville on Wednesday.

Country music ‘Love Story’ — Swift makes CMA history By CHRIS TALBOTT Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE— It’s been Taylor Swift’s year, and Wednesday was her night as she became the youngest person and the first solo female act in a decade to win the Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year award. Swift won all four awards for which she was nominated, making history on a historic night that included Darius Rucker’s win as new artist. “I’ll never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me,” Swift said through tears as she accepted the association’s highest honor during ceremonies at Sommet Center. The 19-year-old crossover sensation beat the biggest names in country and snapped Kenny Chesney’s stranglehold on the category: He won three straight and four of the last five. She also ended Carrie Underwood’s three-year dominance in the female vocalist category. Swift also won album of the year for “Fearless,” the top-selling CD of the year, and video of the year for “Love Story.” “You guys, this album is my diary and so to all the people who voted for me for this is a thank you for saying you love my diary because that’s the nicest compliment,” Swift said. Chesney hugged and kissed Swift on the cheek, then whispered a message in her ear before she received the trophy. She called her band on stage and was the center of a group hug as fans cheered wildly, holding signs that said, “We love you, Taylor”; her father cried in the audience. “Every single person in that category let me open up for them this year,” Swift said. “Thank you all so much. I love you.” Rucker was also a fan favorite, running into the

Federal deficit sets new October record of $176B

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal deficit hit a record for October as the new budget year began where the old one ended, with the government awash in red ink. The Treasury Department says the deficit for October totaled $176.4 billion, even higher than the $150 billion imbalance that economists expected. The deficit for the 2009 budget year, which ended on Sept. 30, set an all-time record in dollar terms of $1.42 trillion. That was $958 billion above the 2008 deficit, the previous record holder. Economists worry such deficits could push up interest rates, adding a further drag on the fragile economic recovery.

FORT HOOD, TEXAS (AP) — The Army psychiatrist accused in the Fort Hood shootings was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the military’s legal system, making him eligible for the death penalty if convicted, officials said Thursday. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama ordered a review of all intelligence related to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and whether it was properly shared and acted upon within individual government agencies. The announcement comes as members of Congress are pressuring for a full investigation in why Hasan was not detected and stopped. A Senate hearing on Hasan is scheduled for next week. The Senate Homeland Security Committee announced it is opening its own investigation this week. U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey said at a news conference that additional charges may be filed against Hasan. Officials told The Associated Press before

the news conference that it had not been decided whether to charge Hasan with a 14th count of murder related to the death of the unborn child of a pregnant shooting victim. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the case publicly. John Galligan, Hasan’s civilian attorney, said his military co-counsel told him that charges were being read to Hasan in the hospital without his lawyers present. “I don’t like it. I feel like I’m being left out of the loop,” Galligan said. “I guess it’s 13 charges, but I don’t like to have to guess in this situation.” Grey said investigators believe Hasan was the lone gunman. Hasan was not at the Soldier Readiness Center for any pre-deployment activities when he allegedly opened fire last week, Grey said. The readiness center, parking lots and four other post buildings were still being treated as crime scenes, and the investigation remained open.

crowd during his performance of “Alright.” The Hootie and the Blowfish frontman, who has sold 1 million copies of his first country album, “Learn to Live,” became the second African-American to win a major individual CMA. He joins Charley Pride, who won entertainer of the year in 1971 and male vocalist in 1971-72. “First of all, to the fans, thank y’all for accepting me,” the jubilant Rucker said. “And I think most importantly, to country radio, you took a chance on a pop singer from Charleston, S.C. Thank you so much for that!” Brad Paisley, who led all nominees with seven, won two awards, including his third straight male vocalist of the year. “This was the best time I’ve ever had at an awards show,” said Paisley. Lady Antebellum also won two awards, for vocal group and single of the year. The win in the vocal group category ended Rascal Flatts’ six-year dominance. “Rascal Flatts, you’ve inspired us for such a long time,” Lady Antebellum singer Charles Kelly said. “Thank you so much for letting us be up here.” Jamey Johnson, along with James Otto and Lee Thomas Miller, won song of the year for “In Color.” “I never thought you guys

would even let me come to things like this,” Johnson, the country outlaw with the scruffy beard, joked as the audience laughed. Swift kicked off the show with a playful version of her song, “Forever & Always,” throwing a chair off a raised podium, sliding down a pole and dropping to her knees to the delighted cheers of the crowd.

A walk in the park Cemetery walk to share history of early settlers By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor SEVIERVILLE — There are 20 or so weathered grave markers in the Forks of the River Cemetery Park. They’re clustered in groups of as many as 10 to as few as two. Whether they are marking the actual resting place of the names engraved in stone is not positively known. What is known is those smattering of stones, plus a few more recently set groundlevel markers represent just a fraction of the some 200 souls buried over the years. The stories of a few of those known to be buried at the site will be shared on Saturday when the first Forks of the Little Pigeon River Cemetery Walk is held from 1 to 2 p.m. at the park, located just off Main Street next to the busy Highway 448 bypass. The free event is sponsored by the Spencer Clack chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and came about after DAR Regent Helen Cooper saw something about a similar event in DAR material. She presented the idea of having the event, and Sevier County Public Library genealogist Theresa Williams picked up the mantle and began planning. “I said I’d be glad to do this,” Williams said. She already had a good starting point. Information she gathered at the request of Recreation Director Bob Parker to compile a report on the cemetery was presented to encourage city leaders to turn the park into a memorial for the first settlers of the city and county. Some of those settlers who will be portrayed in the cemetery walk include Spencer Clack and his wife Mary Beaver Clack, George McMahan, Elizabeth Lusk Reagan, James P.H. Porter and James McMahan. Information about the history of the cemetery will be offered by Helen Allen, a current DAR member, who will portray a DAR member from the 1950s. She is also a descendant of Clack, who is her seventh-great-grandfather. Allen will stand across the courtyard from Clack’s marker, which was sliced in half diagonally, reportedly by a large gas tank that struck it during a flood. At least two of the other actors are also descendants of the people they are portraying. Joseph McMahan is portraying George McMahan, a black Civil War veteran. He will be sitting next to the weathered and moss-covered stone that still shows Geo. McMahan’s name and notes his military service in the First United States Colored Troops Artillery unit.

Carrol McMahan, left, and Helen Allen will participate in the Forks of the River Cemetery Walk. McMahan will portray a distant relative, James McMahan. Allen will portray a DAR member from the 1950s. They are standing next to the marker for Allen’s seventh-great-grandfather Spencer Clack. Joseph McMahan said he wasn’t sure of his exact connection to George McMahan, but was happy to help out when Williams asked him to portray the Union soldier. He was buried in the Forks of the River Cemetery after his death in 1867. Carrol McMahan — no relation to either Joseph McMahan or the late George McMahan — will portray James McMahan, a cousin. It’s not known where James McMahan’s body lies at rest in the cemetery where Carrol McMahan said he and his friends would play ball, borrowing grave markers for bases. “It didn’t get the respect it deserved back then,” he said. Giving the cemetery — and its inhabitants — the respect it deserves is what led Parker to ask for Williams’ assistance and why the DAR is so appreciative of his efforts.

“Mr. Bob Parker, he did a great job,” Allen said. “It’s finally getting the respect it deserves,” Williams said. The cemetery was located next to Little Pigeon River Baptist Church, a precursor to Sevierville’s First Baptist. It served as the burial grounds for many of the area’s first settlers.

Earlier this year, the city rededicated the park; a move to help preserve the area’s history. That’s the main goal of Saturday’s cemetery walk: to preserve the history and make sure the stories of Sevier County’s ancestors are not lost. It’s not even that important that the mark-

ers scattered around the cemetery may not mark the actual resting place of the person they represent. “It’s here,� Allen said of the history represented by the stones. “It doesn’t matter where.� The one-hour cemetery walk will begin at 1 p.m. with the playing of bagpipes.

Things — and people — not always what they seem The Canadian rock band Steppenwolf rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early 70s. One of their hit songs, “Born To Be Wild,” remains somewhat of an anthem for some groups and individuals. But not for Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln was a featured guest this week at the seventh annual Gatlinburg Veterans Day Celebration at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. In spite of some inclement weather, we had another great turnout for the event, with supporters from the local area, across the nation and other countries. It is the “other countries” part that triggered today’s column. As Master of Ceremonies, I told the crowd we usually have great local and national support, and that visitors from other countries do often join us. Following the program, a gentleman with a great smile approached me and said, “Well, you have at least two people with you today from another country. My wife and I are from Ontario.” He went on to tell me what a great program it was and how terrific it was for the city to host the event. He said, “We’ve never been to Gatlinburg before, and this was a tremendous way to initiate our experience.” He explained that in Canada on Nov. 11, they observe what is known as Remembrance Day. Like Veterans Day, it marks the anniversary of the end of hostilities in World War I. Now, what does Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild,” Mr. Lincoln and the Canadian visitor have to do with one another? Mr. Lincoln, a feathered resident of the American Eagle Foundation at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, was abandoned as an eaglet. He was raised at the foundation and eventually released back into the wild to live on his own, to hunt and forage for food. One month later, he was found in a city park in Indiana — eating fried chicken. He was returned to the foundation, re-indoctrinated on how to live in the wild and released again. This time he was found in

Michigan — in a backyard — enjoying a family picnic. Once more, he was brought back. With hopes of teaching him to hunt, handlers put him in with a wild rabbit. Mr. Lincoln and the rabbit became very good friends. After sharing his story this week (to the delight of the crowd), I introduced Mr. Lincoln with the words: “Today, we are pleased to welcome to the platform a very Civilized American, Mr. Lincoln.” The Canadian visitor loved Mr. Lincoln and his story. That’s when from my subconscious mind popped the words, “Yes, unlike Canada’s Steppenwolf, Mr. Lincoln was not ‘Born To Be Wild.’” The visitor immediately related to what I was talking about. And he agreed, closing his agreement with a word he had used several times during our conversation, the famous Canadian comprehension response of “Eh?” I then told our Canadian visitor, “Mr. Lincoln is more like the name the band members used before they became Steppenwolf.” This caught him by surprise and he quizzed me on the group’s earlier name. I responded, “They were the Sparrows — pretty tame, compared to Steppenwolf.” Maybe, like Mr. Lincoln, they weren’t “born to be wild” after all.

Ian McKellen as Two in a scene from “The Prisoner”, a six-hour, threenight reimagining of the 1960s classic. It airs Sunday through Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST on AMC.

Ian McKellen rules in remake of ‘The Prisoner’ By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK — A man named Michael from New York wakes up in the desert, much to his surprise. Fortunately, a pleasantlooking village is nearby. Unfortunately, Michael wants to get back to New York and finds he can’t. “That’s not possible,” the Village elder tells him. “There is no New York. There’s only the Village.” “I want out!” Michael says. “There is no out,” insists the leader. “There is only in.” So goes “The Prisoner,” a brilliant six-hour, threenight reimagining of the 1960s classic. It airs Sunday through Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST on AMC. “The Prisoner” is a sometimes startling, always eye-popping meditation on freedom through the prism of

mass thought control. Jim Caviezel stars as Michael, the addled detainee who finds that, on his arrival in the Village, he, like all the residents, is designated by a number, not a name. He is now Six. Ian McKellen is the charismatic, delicately despotic boss, Two. With a suave, creepy-reassuring manner, he lords over this realm with its daunting sinkholes, huge white beach ball and compliant, seemingly contented populace. Here wanderlust is out of

the question, the solution to every problem is “More Village” and every home has a pig to somehow guarantee stability. What’s it all mean? That’s up to each viewer, and it’s fun (and mind-expanding) to surrender to the Village’s enigmas and find out. “He’s running the Village with the best of motives,” declares McKellen, speaking of his character, Two. But Two embodies, among other things, the drawbacks of capitalism, McKellen says.

Advice

Think about children before making decision about moving

Zits

Blondie

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: Five years ago, my wife had an affair with my best friend, left me and married him. She now has total custody of our two kids. She lied to the court and to our friends and said I was an abusive husband. Everyone believed her, and in the small town where we live, it has left me feeling like an outsider. I can’t stand it here anymore. But if I move somewhere else, I will lose what little contact I have with my children. I also have a good job, and this would not be a good time to try finding another. Should I stay and attempt to counter all the lies that have been spread about me? Or do I move away and start all over again? — Alone in Oregon Dear Oregon: You are tremendously important to your children, and if you leave, they may consider it abandonment. Decent parents avoid being punitive toward each other in order to make their children’s lives easier. This doesn’t seem to be the case here, and we worry about what might happen if you moved. Will your ex make it difficult for the children to spend time with you in the summer and over holidays? Will you continue to make the necessary effort to stay emotionally close or decide it’s too hard and give up? Could you move to a nearby town where your reputation could be rehabilitated while maintaining the same contact with your children? We understand the urge to get out of Dodge, but please consider your children’s needs before making a decision.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 80s and need help with those who greet family members with kisses on the mouth. Our young greatgrandchildren and their parents do not realize the risk of passing colds and flu to the elderly this way. At our age, we do not recover from colds as easily as we did when we were young. We could even die as a result. When someone tries to kiss me on the mouth, I quickly turn my cheek to them and save my kisses for my wife. With the flu season upon us, maybe this reminder would help convince people of the dangers of this practice. I have checked with our doctors and nurses, and they agree with me. How do I deal with this without hurting anyone’s feelings? — Turning Cheek in New Hampshire Dear New Hampshire: These are family members, so be honest with them. Explain that you love the affection, but you worry about catching something that will put you in the hospital. Ask your relatives to avoid kissing you on the mouth, and then have them instruct their delightful children to do the same and tell them why. There is no reason for anyone to be hurt or offended by your very reasonable request. Dear Annie: Please tell “Depressed and

Overwhelmed” that the possible cause of her depression may be hypothyroidism. It is very often undiagnosed, especially if she does not have a primary care physician. She could have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which is not that uncommon. “Depressed” needs a primary care physician who will run a TSH, free T4 and free T3 blood tests. In some instances, the blood work looks OK, but the patient still has a thyroid problem. I had a similar problem and was tired of being on antidepressants for years. I read an article about Hashimoto’s, took it to my doctor and insisted she check all three blood tests. The tests were positive. The solution is thyroid replacement, which is quite inexpensive. It can take a few months of treatment to get to the correct replacement level, but it is so worth it. I no longer take antidepressants and feel great. — South Bend, Ind. Dear South Bend: Thank goodness you took that article to your doctor. We hope your letter will help someone else today.

No need to get fancy to get good turkey meat By PERVAIZ SHALLWANI For The Associated Press

cover the bucket or seal the bag. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. When ready to roast, remove the turkey, rinse under cool water, then pat dry with paper towels.

Deep-frying. Woodsmoking. Sous vide. The mind-numbing number of suggestions for mining flavor from the typically unforgiving Thanksgiving bird have proliferated in recent years. This year, leave them all behind. For tasty fowl on Turkey Day, the new thing can be the old thing: a classic onetwo punch of an overnight brine followed by a quick morning rub before the bird goes into the oven for a slow roast. The good news is that while the process requires a little planning, little hands-on time is needed. And the payoff — white meat that doesn’t need a gravy bath to be choked down — is worth it.

The Rub

Once the bird is out of the brine, it’s time to rub in some flavor. A mix of spices or herbs diluted in a little bit of fat, such as butter or oil, is rubbed on the meat, both under and over the skin. The options are limited only by the flavors you enjoy. If using fresh herbs, be sure to mince them well. And there’s nothing wrong with using a purchased seasoning mix (whether or not it’s called a rub). Just be sure to go easy. Too much and you will overpower the meat. “That’s one of the great things about spice rubs The Brine or spice pastes, they are concentrated in flavor.

The Roast

There are many theories about the best roasting technique. Some advocate an even temperature — usually somewhere 325 F and 400 F — throughout the cooking. Others crank the heat to 425 F at the beginning, then finish at a lower temperature. For a good basic roast for a 12-pound turkey, start it at 400 F for an hour, then reduce the temperature to 350 F, tent it with foil and roast for about another 1 1/2 hours. Whatever your approach on temperature, prepping the bird for the oven is key. Wrap the wings in foil and tuck them behind the neck. This helps prevent them from burning. Also tie the ends of the legs together with twine to help contain the juices. When roasting, it’s also important to cook the turkey on a rack set into a roasting pan. This ensures the bird roasts evenly. Fill the pan with a few large chopped carrots and onions and a bit of liquid (water, wine or broth) to give the drippings added flavor. Roast the turkey, basting every 30 minutes with juice from the pan, until the breast registers 160 F and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 170 F. About midway through, tent the bird with foil to keep the skin from burning. Remove the turkey from the oven and let the bird rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 2 T. chopped fresh sage 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg Zest of 2 oranges Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree for about 1 minute. The mixture will be loose and a bit watery. Carefully separate the turkey’s skin from the flesh, trying to avoid breaking the skin. Use your hands to work the mixture under the skin, covering the flesh. Replace the skin, then rub the mixture over the outside of the turkey’s skin. Roast according to your recipe. (Recipe adapted from Brent Young, a butcher at The Meat Hook in Brooklyn, N.Y.)

Lemon-Thyme Rub Makes enough for a 12- to 14-pound turkey 4 T. unsalted butter, softened 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T. minced fresh thyme 1 tsp. grated lemon zest 3/4 tsp. table salt 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper In a small bowl, use a spoon or silicone spatula to mix together all of the ingredients. Carefully separate the turkey’s skin from the flesh, trying to avoid breaking the skin. Use your hands to work the mixture under the skin, covering the flesh. Replace the skin, then rub the mixture over the outside of the turkey’s skin. Roast according to your recipe. (Recipe adapted from the November 2007 issue of Cook’s Illustrated magazine)
