Seymour coach Andy Rines talks to his Lady Eagles basketball team during Monday night’s county jamboree at Pigeon Forge. Rines was frustrated by his team’s effort during an 18-12 one-quarter loss to the Gatlinburg-Pittman Lady Highlanders during Monday’s jamboree, but his team responded on the season’s opening night Tuesday with a big 64-46 win over visiting William Blount.

Dolly guitar strikes chord for winner Musician Burchell has wife who is Alzheimer’s victim By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Sevier County legend Dolly Parton donates a signed guitar to the Alzheimer’s Association each year to be presented to a participant in the organization’s Memory Walk. This year, the winner was Ray Burchell of Seymour, who just happens to be a musician. “My name was drawn out of a hat,” Burchell said of the event last month. “I play the autoharp on my lap, like Maybelle Carter did, and the dulcimer. I’d about give my teeth to play this guitar, but I won’t be able to take guitar lessons because of (weak muscles in) my arm. “My daughter has been

She’ll go to one of the dealers in California, where she lives, and play the same model. If she likes the sound, I’ll give it to her.” Burchell is part of a musical ministry group

called The Heartstrings. He has participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk for the past two years. Since his wife, Audrey (also known as “Dee”), was diagnosed with the disease five years ago, he has

tried to learn everything he can about it. He attended the recent Alzheimer’s Association Caring and Coping workshop, which is held each spring and fall for caregivers. “Being a caregiver is a 24-hour job — a lot of times, you don’t get the sleep and nutrition you need,” said Burchell, whose wife now resides in Wellington Place in Maryville. “But if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of them.” Burchell has played music since he was in grade school. He has performed at nursing homes and assisted living homes for 18 years, and often plays at Fort Sanders Sevier Hospital and Fort Sanders Hospital in Knoxville. “I would take my wife with me when I performed,” he said. “She’s always loved music, and she’d sit there and lisSee guitar, Page A4

SEVIERVILLE — It appears state officials may be just weeks from awarding a contract to improve a major portion of Birds Creek Road between Sevierville and Gatlinburg. A document on the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Web site shows plans to include that longpromised project in the upcoming bid process, with the total project cost expected to be $9 million. The issue has been a local concern for years, and it came up again at a meeting of the Sevier County Transportation Committee — consisting of the county mayor and administrators from each of the cities. “Looking at my notes, I told you back in 1998 the state promised us it would start in the 2001 budget year,” Wilbur Smith Associates engineer Bob Bower joked during the session. “This time we feel pretty confident it will actually happen.” Local officials have been pushing for the work for some time. In recent months, rumors circulated that federal stimulus money may make TDOT decide to move forward with the local project. The need, committee members contend, is obvious, with several sharp curves creating dangerous conditions, and erosion along the banks supporting the blacktop. Though part of the road was redone a few years ago with federal dollars, other portions remained in need of repairs. The project to be completed calls for work on 4.7 miles starting at the intersection with Glades Road. From there it will extend north to where Pittman Center Road turns off just above Dunn’s Market. The work is set to include replacement of some bridges, reconstruction of a few other culvert crossings and resurfacing of the entire road, including the area See tdot, Page A4

When firefighters arrived, the office building at what used to be Z Buda Campground was “fully involved,� the chief said.

“It was to the point where we had some local brush fires and concern for the nearby properties,� Watson said. “There was concern about hot embers blowing onto that property.� The 2,000-square-foot office building, which served the campground before the complex shut down several years ago, might have been used by

homeless people as overnight housing, Watson said. Officials have not yet determined a cause, but are sure no one was inside during the fire.

Gatlinburg commission considers utility project

Phase 1 would cost estimated $2.685M for undergrounding

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Sevier County Schools have reported success with FASTT (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology) Math, an intervention program designed to support students in second grade and up. Debra Cline, director of curriculum and instruction, said FASTT Math is part of the schools’ Math Intervention Program. “The goal is to have our students fluent in mathematics,� Cline said. “We want to see an increased rate of growth. It doesn’t mean our kids haven’t been learning — it’s just that we want them moving at a higher rate and higher level of math. We’ve been going after that even before the release of the State Report Card.� Academic Performance in the 2009 Tennessee Report Card, as measured by the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System in mathematics in grades 3-8, was below the expected state growth standard in Sevier County Schools. The school system received an overall “Good Standing� in the report. Director of Schools Jack Parton has stated that several new initiatives, including FASTT Math, have been implemented this school year to increase academic achievement. FASTT Math includes interactive software, comprehensive teacher resources and individualized practice sheets. These tools are to help students gain automatic recall of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts, allowing them to free up critical mental resources so that they can focus on high-order math. It also helps them abandon the use of inefficient strategies, such as finger counting, for determining the answers to basic facts. Studies have shown that a lack of automatic math retrieval presents obstacles in attaining higher-order math skills, participating in math class discussions, engaging in math problem solving and even in developing everyday life skills. “This is changing the landscape of assessment and expectations,� said Judy Harrell, Title I special projects/math supervisor. “Students are learning, but they’re having fun as they’re learning.�

Perhaps the mother bear and her three cubs spotted near the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport in Sevierville on Wednesday afternoon were looking for a flight to somewhere warmer for the winter. The group climbed trees and explored the area around the Dollywood warehouse off Industry Drive before taking off – on paw – and provoking a warning to pilots as they crossed the runway on their way back to the woods.

Mountain City buries Ft. Hood victim MOUNTAIN CITY (AP) — Defense Secretary Robert Gates gathered with mourners in a tiny northeast Tennessee community Wednesday to bury Army Spc. Fred Greene, one of 13 people killed in the massacre at Fort Hood. Gates sat behind the 29-year-old combat engineer’s wife, two young daughters and parents as a chaplain and a company commander led a graveside service near Mountain City. It was followed by a 21-gun salute and the playing of taps by a lone bugler, next to the rural Baptist church where Greene once sung in the choir. “Fred will always be with us,� said Capt. James Pence, who commands the 510th Engineer Co., 20th

Battalion, 36th Brigade based at Fort Hood in Texas. “He will be with us when we patrol the dangerous roads in Afghanistan in defense of our great nation. His courage and commitment will be with us as we face the difficult trials ahead.� Greene, who enlisted in 2008 in the hopes he’d find a better life outside of his rural community, was posthumously promoted. He was among 13 killed and more than 30 wounded in the shooting spree on Nov. 5 when authorities say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, opened fire. Gates had met with his family last week when he attended the Fort Hood memorial. Afterward, Greene’s father called the secretary and asked if he

was available to attend his son’s funeral, said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell. He had been concerned that his presence would be an intrusion or distraction, concerns eased by the family’s invitation, Morrell said. Gates did not speak during the 45-minute service, attended by about 200 relatives, friends and members of the veterans’ motorcycle group, the Patriot Guard Riders. Greene’s wife and parents refused interviews, but issued a statement saying, “Please continue to pray for us and the others affected by this tragedy — we are still grieving, and healing will take time but there is comfort in knowing Fred is at rest.�

GATLINBURG — Gatlinburg City Commissioners met at City Hall on Monday for a workshop to consider Phase VI of the city’s Undergrounding of Utilities Project, primarily because the city has qualified for a $516,000 Tennessee Department of Transportation enhancement grant for the phase with an estimated total cost of $2.685 million. The TDOT grant would be for “streetscape� expenses, which include things such as sidewalk enhancements, street furniture and light poles. The proposed phase of the undergrounding project runs from the Convention Center to LeConte Creek Road, and proposed construction would run from December of 2010 to May of 2011. The city would have

to take on some debt, possibly in the form of municipal bonds, in order to pay the remaining $2 million-plus cost of the phase after the TDOT grant. Commissioners expressed concern over factors such as the national economy and the impact construction would have on some businesses in the area of the proposed phase. “But I think this is something we all want to see get done,� said Commissioner Mike Werner. The group is taking the proposal under consideration and will meet at a later date to decide on the issue. Steve Fritts of Barge, Waggoner Sumner & Cannon, Inc., was instructed to prepare a contract for deign services in the event City Commission decides to take action on the new undergrounding phase. Currently, five phases of the undergrounding project have been completed, and the cost to complete the rest of the Parkway is estimated to be $19.4 million. chitchcock@themountainpress.com

Byrd sets Congressional record

obituaries Leah Victoria Avril Leah Victoria Avril, 18, of Sevierville, died Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009. Arrangements are incomplete and will be announced by Atchley Funeral Home, Sevierville.

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Sen. Robert C. Byrd became history’s longest-serving member of Congress on Wednesday, earning a formal salute from the Senate and President Barack Obama for his nearly 56 years of service. “I’ve loved every precious minute of it,� the frail West Virginia Democrat, who turns 92 on Friday, said during a day of floor tributes to him, and moments before the Senate passed a resolution marking the milestone. Obama earlier in the day described the one-time segregationist as a touchstone for constitutional values and a role model to all lawmakers. “Countless colleagues, myself included, have looked to him for advice, guidance and leadership over the years,� Obama, who represented Illinois in the Senate, said in a statement. “He is one of the most steadfast defenders of the United States Constitution, and he never lets us forget the guiding values and principles that make our nation great.� As Tuesday became Wednesday, Byrd shattered the record for congressional service that had been set by Carl Hayden, D-Ariz., who served in the House and Senate from 1912 to 1969.

Wednesday marked the day when Byrd became the longest-serving member of Congress. to the House, and his elevation six years later to the Senate. “Because of those wonderful people in West Virginia, this foster son of an impoverished coal miner from the great hills of southern West Virginia has had the opportunity to walk with kings, to meet with prime ministers, and to debate with presidents,� Byrd said. He wept a few minutes later as he named his only regret - that his wife Erma, who died in 2006, was not there. “But I know, yes I do,� Byrd said tearfully, pointing a finger to the sky, “that she’s smiling down

from Heaven and reminding me not to get a big head.� Republicans were in their weekly health care meeting during Byrd’s big moment, unaware that he was speaking or of the impending resolution vote, said a spokesman for Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah was the first Republican to rush in as the three dozen Democrats assembled rose in a final standing ovation.

Since June 12, 2006, Byrd has been the longestserving senator and later that year he was elected to an unprecedented ninth term. His colleagues have elected him to more leadership positions than any senator in history. He has cast more than 18,000 votes and, despite fragile health that has kept him from the Senate floor during much of this year, has a nearly 98 percent attendance record over the course of his career.

Senate health bottom line: $849B overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) — The political stakes enormous, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched longawaited health care legislation Wednesday estimated to extend coverage to 94 percent of eligible Americans at a cost of $849 billion. Initial maneuvering on the Senate floor was expected later in the week on the measure, bitterly opposed by Republicans eager to deny President Barack Obama a victory on his top domestic priority.

Officials have said the measure would require most Americans to carry health insurance and would mandate large companies to provide coverage to their workers, as well as ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions. As rank-and-file Democrats gathered to learn details of the measure, a senior Democratic leadership aide said the Congressional Budget Office had estimated it would spread coverage to 31

The aide also cited a CBO estimate that the bill would achieve cuts of $1 trillion over a decade in projected health care costs. The estimate of 94 percent coverage was less than the 96 percent estimated for legislation the House passed earlier this month, but no precise comparisons were possible without as-yet-unreleased CBO documentation.

Mario endures Nintendo star still king even as games come and go By BARBARA ORTUTAY AP Technology Writer NEW YORK— You might call him the Mickey Mouse of video games. He’s reminiscent of a doughnut, round and sweet and comforting. He’s also a vessel, devoid of a real personality so you can live vicariously through him. Mario, the pot-bellied Italian plumber with a penchant for rescuing princesses, collecting golden coins and gobbling magic mushrooms, has been around for nearly three decades. And even though he hasn’t changed much, the latest game he stars in, the newly released “The New Super Mario Bros. Wii� ($50), is one of the holiday season’s top titles. Created by Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario is a recognizable character even to people who don’t play video games. He pops up in Halloween costumes — blue overalls, red hat, gut and all — as does his brother Luigi. Mario has been in cartoons and movies (though some were best forgotten), and he graces oodles of official and unofficial Mario merchandise. “I like him. I like him a lot. He has a cool mustache,� says Colin Gaul, 9, from Portland, Ore. “He is awesome because he is brave and he’s been on a lot of adventures. And his favorite color is red and mine is too.� Colin first played a Mario game when he was 5, on Nintendo Co.’s handheld Game Boy system. On the Wii, Colin has played “Super Paper Mario� and “Super Smash Bros. Brawl,� which features a cavalcade of Nintendo characters duking it out. But Colin wasn’t even born when Super Mario emerged. First called Jumpman, the character debuted in 1981 in the arcade game “Donkey Kong,� in which Jumpman had to save a damsel from a big ape. His first job was carpentry, but later he became a plumber, and in many games he travels up and down in a world of underground pipes. In the mid-1980s, Nintendo and Mario helped save the U.S. video game industry, which was on the verge of imploding

In this image provided by Nintendo, video game icon Mario is shown. Even though Mario hasn’t changed much in nearly three decades, the latest game he stars in, the newly released “The New Super Mario Bros. Wii,� is one of the holiday season’s top titles. after early popularity. Terrible games — most infamously “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial� — had flooded the market, and “people didn’t realize that video games were a burgeoning industry,� says Scott Steinberg, lead video game analyst at Digitaltrends.com. “They thought it was a fad.� It wasn’t. With the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, which in the U.S.

came bundled with “Super Mario Bros.,� video games became a household phenomenon. Nintendo sold 60 million of the consoles, often called the NES. In 2008, Americans spent more than $21 billion on video game systems, software and accessories, according to the NPD Group. Even with a recession and industry slump this year, the number will likely be close to that, with a good chunk

of the money going to Nintendo. The company has been able to stay profitable, thanks largely to its Wii and the handheld DS being the world’s top-selling gaming systems. In all, Nintendo has sold more than 222 million games in its Super Mario franchise. There are more than 100 games, for various gaming systems, in which Mario is the primary character, and many more in which he makes appearances. The Japanese company’s creation of an Italian character is now video game folklore. In his book “Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered the World,� David Sheff wrote that Mario was named after Nintendo’s U.S. landlord, who was demanding back rent from the company’s fledgling U.S. arm. Nintendo now won’t confirm or deny the story.

SEOUL, South Korea — America’s relations with South Korea, a crucial Asian ally, are on an upswing as President Barack Obama meets with President Lee Myung-bak on Thursday, though a stalled trade agreement is still a concern for the economic powerhouses. Obama, winding up his weeklong Asian journey, is expected to emphasize the two nations’ unified efforts to prod a defiant North Korea out of its nuclear weapons program. He’s also welcoming South Korea’s return to helping U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. Obama landed Wednesday night in South Korea, embarking on perhaps the easiest leg of his whirlwind four-country Asian trip that has taken him away from Washington for the longest stretch of his presidency. He made brief stops in Tokyo and Singapore before a longer, ceremony-filled visit to China. Strongly pro-U.S., Lee took office in South Korea in early 2008, a year before Obama, and relations between the two countries have been improving. The tenure of President George W. Bush had seen antiAmerican sentiments become more common here. Not so much now. The South Korean president, for instance, was the first foreign leader in Obama’s presidency to get the honor of a joint appearance in the Rose Garden, in June. “I hope to look at it as growing pains of a relationship maturing,� said Lee Jung-hoon, an international relations expert and dean of Yonsei University in Seoul. “Certainly under Lee Myung-bak and Obama we are returning to normalcy.� A remaining sticking point has been trade. To South Korea’s dismay, a free trade agreement that was signed in 2007 by the two governments under previous leaders has been stalled ever since in Congress. The pact was already going nowhere on Democraticrun Capitol Hill during the Bush administration, which struck the deal after painstaking negotiations. Obama’s election, with his concerns about U.S. access to the South Korean market for U.S. auto exports, put the deal in further doubt. Obama and Lee are spending about three hours together at the Blue House, South Korea’s version of the White House. Obama then has a brief rally at Osan Air Base outside Seoul with some of the 37,000 U.S. troops who are stationed in South Korea. It will be the third time Obama has addressed U.S. troops with his decision still pending on how many more Americans to send into the Afghanistan war. With that decision deferred until after the trip — “certainly before year’s end,� was the elastic timeframe Obama offered in an NBC News interview — the South Korean visit is an opportunity to highlight international cooperation.

Bredesen won’t make endorsement CHATTANOOGA (AP) — Democratic candidates seeking the nomination to succeed Gov. Phil Bredesen will have do so without the incumbent’s help. The term-limited governor told The Associated Press this week that he doesn’t plan to get involved in the contest because “people are entitled to run and have a free shot at it.” With less than a year remaining before the general election, the candidates have been honing their campaign pitches

while claiming not to be discouraged by their steep fundraising disadvantage to the leading Republican candidates so far. “I don’t look at this as a campaign about money, I look at this as a campaign about people,” former state House Majority Leader Kim McMillan said before the annual Estes Kefauver Dinner in Chattanooga on Monday. Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, son of former Gov. Ned McWherter, said the results of governor’s races in states like New Jersey

showed “that you can’t buy the office of governor.” “I know we can raise the money we’ll need to get our message out,” he said. State Sen. Roy Herron of Dresden said all signs point to a spirited nomination fight among Republicans, which could end up negating any fundraising advantage after the August primary. “They may require each other to spend whatever they raise, and by the time we get to general we all start

back somewhere close to zero,” he said. Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle of Memphis touts his labor support — blue foam hammers reading “Carpenters for Kyle” were handed out at the Chattanooga event — as a key fundraising source. He downplayed the announcement last week that Republican Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam has added another $1 million to his campaign coffers when none of the Democrats has yet to accumulate that amount in total.

world quote roundup “This is a message to President Obama that Israel does not care about the American position. There should be real American pressure on the Israelis to stop all these acts. Such acts prove that Israel does not want peace and does not want to revive the peace process, and it really puts the interests of the United States at stake.” — Nabil Abu Rdeneh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a statement after the Jerusalem city government moved toward the construction of 900 additional housing units in a Jewish neighborhood in East Jerusalem, which Palestinians claim for the capital of their future state.

“We need to protect taxpayer dollars. Every dollar that goes to the wrong recipient or in the wrong amount is a dollar not available to help an unemployed worker, or to invest in education or key priorities of the administration.” — Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget to reporters after a government financial report revealed more than $98 billion in taxpayer dollars spent by government agencies was wasted, much of it on questionable claims for tax credits and Medicare benefits.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Fresh off her triumph at the Country Music Association Awards, Taylor Swift has netted a deal to create a line of greeting cards. Swift Ameri c a n Greetings Corp.

Effects of wreck still being felt By CHRISSTY TIBBS Guest columnist Time has passed since the May 2 wreck on Allensville Road that injured my son, but the frustration hasn’t. Although the wreck happened almost six months ago, we live it every day. Close to $600,000 in medical bills have accrued from that wreck. Our utility bills and rent have fallen behind. We are in a financial pit that is out of our control. When the phone rings, I cringe. Nine out of 10 calls a day are medical bill collectors. We drive to Knoxville twice a week, once for Corey’s therapy and the other for doctor or dentist appointments. We have $25 co-pays every time. As of October there will be a co-pay on the Wednesday therapy sessions. The medicine my son has to take is expensive, even with my insurance. He is now on heart, blood pressure and acid reflux medication plus others. His face was shattered from the eye sockets down. He had to have his mouth wired shut for five weeks; no brushing so tooth decay resulted, not to mention the temporary teeth. We can’t get any permanent teeth until the bones in his face heal. There are 37 screws and several plates in his face. And then we will be looking at costly implants. I want Corey to get everything he needs, but that might not be the case. We are beng asked to pay up front for medical needs. How am I going to pull that off? I was laid off in August and, as of Nov. 1, I have to pay out of our pocket the $454 COBRA insurance premium. I can’t let that lapse. My kids have been turned down for TennCare. In the wreck Corey broke his right femur and left collarbone. His face was shattered. He was left with a brain injury. His doctors and therapy are in Knoxville, so now we pay more in gas. To this day, we are still awaiting to hear from Geico, the driver’s insurance company. Three days after the wreck they offered us $25,000. Corey was in a coma for three weeks. My husband and I couldn’t work from May 2 until June 24. The cans of food Corey he had to be fed with were $8 a can, and he had to have eight cans a day. With all the medications he was taking, we had to get a dry eraser board just to keep up with everything so we wouldn’t mess anything up. We keep hearing that the driver’s drug screen was negative. Tell that to my son, who battles every day trying to remember how to do previous school work and now is struggling learning new school work because he was left with a traumatic brain injury. Or when he just needs to get out of the house and can’t because walking one complete time around Walmart wears him completely out. Or that when he would like to get on with his life and just be with friends — he can’t. He has to be very alert because of his heart; it can be a heartbeat of 46 and then, with him just sitting and not doing anything, it can jump up to 138 in a matter of minutes. Financially and emotionally this wreck has torn our family and lives apart. During our stay in the hospitals, the driver and his parents came to see my son for “their son’s healing.” Not one time did they offer to help us in any way. I want so badly tell those callers to contact the people who should be responsible for these bills: the driver and his parents, not us. They should be the ones who have to try to make payment arrangements. We are in a financial prison, and the person who did this to our family hasn’t even gone to court yet. He is walking the halls of school, enjoying his senior year and living life while Corey Tibbs can’t drive, can’t be away from his mother and can’t live his life. Tell us what is fair.

Hard to explain Kiffin right to dismiss 3 players, but their crime hard to understand What is it that makes young people do such stupid, inexplicable things sometimes? Is it the natural growth pattern, a glitch in a brain chemical, peer pressure, momentary lapse in judgment? Hard to know, but the fact is, a number of usually responsible teenagers and young adults occasionally stray from their upbringing and their intrinsic understanding of right and wrong and do dumb things. Three members of the University of Tennessee football team did just that last week. Nu’Keese Richardson, Mike Edwards and Janzen Jackson, all freshmen, allegedly were involved in an armed robbery in the early morning hours — when their friends and teammates were asleep. This happened two days before the Vols were to play the University of Mississippi in Oxford. Tennessee lost that game badly, and you have to wonder if the arrests of the three players affected the team’s outlook and emotions. Coach Lane Kiffin really had no choice but to act swiftly and firmly. He has per-

manently dismissed Richardson and Edwards from the team. He has reserved judgment on Jackson. It wasn’t easy for the coach. He certainly had empathy and compassion for these players. But to have let up om them or shown any leniency would have looked weak and unfair. True, the players have only been charged with the crime, but Kiffin presumably investigated the matter enough to know they were guilty and deserved banishment. Nobody should feel good about this. These young men came to the university full of confidence and much ability. Like so many student athletes, they dreamed of a successful college career and maybe a shot at pro ball. However, something went wrong in their thought process. Something made them do what they knew was wrong, at risk to their freedom, their football careers and their academic futures. The pressure on big-time college coaches is immense and neverending. Those who win earn big money and gain job

security. Those who lose get fired. There is so much money involved in college football that schools cannot afford to rock along with a substandard program. Coaches have to win, and at times they take chances on high school students with lots of athletic talent but questionable character. Some of those young men blossom in college and do just fine. Others don’t. Recruitment by college coaches is a crap shoot, a high-wire act with no certain outcome. Who would ever suspect that three Tennessee football players would attempted to commit an armed robbery and flee in a car that could so easily be traced? Dumb, dumb, dumb, but it doesn’t explain why. Richardson and Edwards may come through this. They may find another school and develop the maturity that comes with adulthood. Let’s hope so. In the meantime Coach Kiffin did the right thing by showing them the door. Some actions simply cannot be overlooked or explained away.

PREP HOOPS

Lady Eagles open season with big 64-46 win over WB Seymour overcomes slow start versus visiting Lady Governors By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer SEYMOUR — The Seymour Lady Eagles basketball team got off to a great start to the 200910 season on Tuesday night, taking down the William Blount Lady Governors 64-46. But it wasn’t all pretty for the Lady Eagles, who fell behind by eight points to start the contest. “We didn’t get off to a good start,” said Seymour coach Andy Rines. “We got down 10-2 at the beginning, we had a bad start.” But the Lady Eagles cut it to five, 10-5, heading into the second period, and that’s when Seymour began to dominate, taking a 30-20 lead into the locker rooms at intermission. By the end of the third quarter, Seymour led 41-33 en route to its 18-point win. “We had a good effort after a bad start,” said Rines. “We weathered (the Lady Governors’) storm, so to speak, and then we played good from that point out.” Seymour junior Shae Brown led the Lady Eagles effort with 21 points to go along with 11 rebounds.

Shae Brown Lady Eagle senior Casie Cowan was the other Seymour player in double digits with 14 points. Sophomores Jordan Ballard and Brittany Seagle each added nine points, junior Ashley McCarter had seven and senior Leslie Davis contributed with four ticks in the winning effort. Seymour next travels to Knoxville Catholic 6 p.m. this Friday night. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday but was moved up a day. The Seymour boys’ team also plays at Friday Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press night with tipoff around 7:30 p.m., following the Seymour senior guard Casie Cowan drives past G-P defenders and dishes a no-look pass to a teammate at the block during Monday’s county jamboree. The Lady Eagles lost 18-12 to the Lady girls’ contest. Highlanders on Monday, but they turned things around on opening night with a big 64-46 win chitchcock@themountainpress.com over visiting William Blount. Cowan had 14 points.

Young: I grew up in time off

SEC GRIDIRON

YOUTH SOCCER

Tennessee Vols become one of SEC’s best passing teams

By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE — The moment every Titans fan expected finally happened, and they couldn’t wait to see how Vince Young reacted. Young had just been intercepted for the first time since returning as Tennessee’s starting quarterback. He walked to the bench. No pouting, no helmet slam. Instead, Young just grabbed a cap and took a seat on the bench before bouncing back with his third straight victory. So far, it sure looks like all that time as a backup resulted in a more mature — and winning — quarterback. “I grew up a little bit,” Young said. The 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year has posted a passer rating of 90.4 or better in three straight games for the first time in his short career, and he is running effectively. Coincidence or not, the Titans (3-6) are showing signs of life after the 0-6 start prompted owner Bud Adams to insist that coach Jeff Fisher start the quarterback Adams had watched through high school and college in Texas. Nearly 14 months have passed since Young lost his job following the 2008 season opener, the game in which Young had to be coaxed back onto the field, upset over being booed for a second interception. A few plays later, he sprained his knee. That was the start of a dramatic week in which Young skipped a scheduled exam, and Fisher wound up calling police to help find Young when the quarterback sped off in his Mercedes with a gun in the car. Young called the incident the result of a worried mother. But veteran Kerry Collins remained the starter as the Titans started 10-0. Since then, Young’s sideline behavior has been a hot topic in Nashville. Fans speculated he stayed busy listening to his iPod when he monitored play calls through an earpiece; measured the distance between Young and Collins when talking with offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger; and even where he sat during games. Through it all, Fisher insisted Young was the Titans’ franchise quarterback and that the No. 3 overall pick in 2006 was busy learning. “He’s making the decisions and changing the plays on the line of scrimmage and doing what we expect the quarterback to do,” Fisher said of Young. “The position’s hard enough to play, and he’s playing it well right now. We just have to keep it going.”

BUSC ladies hammer the competition in N.C. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Blount United Soccer Club Lady Hammers, a competitive club soccer made up of 13-year-old girls from Sevierville, Seymour and Maryville, traveled to Charlotte, N.C., and took home the Carolina Fall Classic Tournament championship trophy. The Lady Hammers played a great weekend of soccer on Saturday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 8. They went undefeated over the two days to earn the championship trophy. BUSC coach Travis Hawkins led the girls throughout the weekend but had to rush back home due to an unexpected family medical emergency. Marty Duncan, whose daughter Sydney plays for the Lady Hammers, stepped in for Hawkins and helped guide the ladies to a 1-0 final-match

win over the SGCSA Lady Hurricanes of North Carolina. There were several state-ranked competitive club soccer teams from Tennessee and North Carolina at the tournament, and the Lady Hurricanes took on all comers. The closest match for the BUSC team was a 2-2 Saturday tie, also against the Lady Hurricanes team they managed to beat in the Sunday finale. The Lady Hammers opened the tournament Saturday with a big 5-0 win over the FCCA Rowan Lady Sharks of North Carolina. On Sunday, the Lady Hammers won 4-0 over the ETSF Lady Falcons of Tennessee before advancing to the tournament finale contest. From submitted reports

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee wide receivers coach Frank Wilson has found himself drilling a different lineup of players almost every week. He’s had players missing because of injuries. Others were booted from the team because of discipline issues. Others left on their own accord. Somehow he’s still managed to help turn a depleted receiving corps and an interception-prone quarterback into one of the Southeastern Conference’s most formidable passing threats. “We stayed to the course and continued to work hard and developed as a group as a whole,” Wilson said. “Those young guys had to step up at times and make plays and be accountable, and they did.” Through the first four games of the season, Jonathan Crompton had only seven touchdowns compared with eight interceptions and an average 160 yards passing per game. Since then, Crompton has averaged 245.5 yards per game and thrown 16 touchdowns compared with two interceptions. The Volunteers (5-5, 2-4 SEC) now rank third in the league in pass offense with an average 226.6 yards by air per game. Their 24 passing touchdowns rank second. “We all knew we could do it,” junior wide receiver Denarius Moore said. “We knew we had all the talent we needed, but we just needed to put it together. We needed guys to get healthy and get on the same page in this new system, and once we did, we got a lot better. “We just kept sticking with it, and we got better. Now we’ve just got to keep getting better,” he said. Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson has learned a few lessons from some of Tennessee’s previous opponents who focused first on stopping the run. Johnson knows his Commodores (2-9, 0-7) will have to do a lot to stop Crompton and the Vols’ passing game too.

Advice

Husband uncomfortable with wife’s friendly contact with others

Dear Annie: My wife of 27 years hugs and kisses everyone she meets, no matter how often she sees them. I have spoken to her about this, stating that not everyone is comfortable being hugged and kissed all the time. My real problem is that we have a male friend who is also our tenant. “Ralph” is a huge flirt. Worse, he tells me all the time how sexy my wife is and how lucky I am to be married to her. Because Ralph lives in our building, we see him several times a week. He and my wife hug and kiss each time they say hello and goodbye. Their greeting seems a little different from the others. I have spoken to my wife, letting her know it makes me uncomfortable, but she doesn’t seem to care. She says to “grow up and deal with it.” I do not want to argue, but I also don’t want to be uncomfortable every time we see Ralph. How can I get my point across without causing a war? -- Tired of Hugging Dear Tired: You can ignore it and assume her hugging and kissing is only that or, if she is flirting with Ralph, that she doesn’t intend to do anything more about it. She probably enjoys seeing you react with such jealousy. You could behave the same way, but we don’t believe that would help. Instead, ask her to explain why she continues to deliberately make you uncomfortable and unhappy. Dear Annie: My step-granddaughter, who is almost 11 years old, never calls her grandfather or me unless told to. “Bridget” is an only child of divorce. She has

not seen her mother in four years. The girl and her father are presently living with my husband’s ex-wife in another city. I love this child like she was my own granddaughter and tell her so often. Since she was born, she has been indulged by all of us. Bridget visits twice a year, and we buy her school clothes and other necessities, as well as many gifts. However, when she is not at our home, we rarely hear from her. We never receive thank-you notes or cards on Mother’s or Father’s Day, birthdays or Christmas. We even bought her thankyou notes with return address labels and stamps, but we’ve yet to receive one. Bridget has called only once since she last visited us several months ago, and that was only because her father insisted. (He wanted to borrow money.) When we tried to converse with her, she gave yes or no answers, and it was apparent that she didn’t care to speak to either of us. I would like to skip future presents and explain to Bridget that relationships are give and take, and that if she doesn’t think enough of us to call now and then, the gift giving is over. What do you say? -Taken for Granted Dear Taken: Your expectations are wildly out of line. The girl is 11

years old and hasn’t been taught these things. Few children that age know how to conduct a phone conversation with adults, and none would think to purchase, address and mail a greeting card without the assistance of an adult. (And there’s no reason for her to send you Mother’s Day or Father’s Day cards.) It’s also possible your husband’s ex-wife is discouraging closer communication. It is inappropriate for you to determine the relationship between your husband and his granddaughter. Instead of punishing the child, teach her that showing consideration for others is important for her development as a thoughtful young person. Dear Annie: As a former overweight person, I can tell “Want To Love Him” that nagging his father about his weight won’t do any good. Nagging only made me more stubborn. My immediate family said nothing about my weight. After seeing some family photos that were not flattering, I made the effort to take off 50 pounds and kept them off for 10 years. This past year, I dropped another 30. -- Ready On My Own Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
