Fire chiefs endorse hillside regs By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — As debate continues over how best to govern development on local hillsides and ridges, one important group has come forward to endorse the rules proposed by the county’s Hillsides Taskforce.

group has suggested. It said it hopes in doing so it will put some steam behind the effort to ensure its passage when it comes before county leaders in the coming weeks. Specifically, the chiefs voiced their agreement with portions of the task force document that offer rules on things they believe will directly impact their departments’ abilities to do their jobs. Among those are limiting the slope of public and private roads,
requiring emergency staging areas in some developments, and providing for houses in others to have fire-suppression sprinkler systems. “They’re things that we feel will make it easier to stop fires or at least keep them from spreading,” says Sam Hassen, assistant chief with the English Mountain Volunteer Fire Department and a member of the task force. Hassen has served as something of a go-between for the fire
officials and the committee, and it’s been his pushing that has led to many of the rules the fire chiefs voted to endorse. When the task force members wanted to greatly increase the allowed slope of roads in an effort to reduce the land disturbance required to put them in, Hassen fought the effort and eventually brokered a compromise.

ing the proposed change on fears it would be impossible to get their trucks up the roads, Hassen brought several task force members to the chiefs’ next meeting. That led to a deal that does allow for a slight increase in road slope, but limits the distance allowed for the greatest road grade and requires emergency staging sites in developments that opt for the steeper routes. Hassen’s backing, which came with the support of the chiefs, also helped spur the task force to include recommendations that houses in developments on property above a trigger slope have fire-suppression sprinklers. Beyond just offering the potential for saving lives and homes in which a blaze breaks out, such a move could prevent fires from spreading from a structure onto surrounding property. Those proposals and others in the document will address issues the chiefs say have needed solution for years. “Codes enforcement and proper planning affect the lives of all the citizens of and visitors to our area,� says Pigeon Forge Fire Chief
Tony Watson, the president of the Fire Chiefs Association. “We’re walking a fine line here. We never want to be infringing a person’s right to use their property, but there’s no doubt there are major concerns here that need to be looked at.� Watson points out many of the rental-cabin-laden developments on hills in the county have been built using a hodge-podge of standards, with contractors often putting in private roads that residents later ask to be made public. That has led to county roads with slopes in excess of 20 percent in some areas and houses piled so close up on each other on steep hills that it would be a real challenge for a volunteer department to get to a fire in time to prevent its spread. “We will never be able to undo what’s been done in the past at some of these developments, but we do want to make it better for the future,� Watson says. “It’s very important because we’re talking about lives here.� Watson believes the issue is also livelihoods. He points out a disaster such as the one that occurred in South Carolina a few years ago in which several college students died in a blaze at a rental home could be a dev-

astating blow of bad news for the local tourism industry. “God forbid, that would be a nightmare,� Watson says. “When our visitors come here, they expect they will be protected. They expect there will be the infrastructure in place with the ability to keep them save. We need to do everything we can to ensure they’re right.� Like others who have followed the discussion of possibly adding new regulation to hillside development, Watson expects County Commission members will get an earful both for an against the effort when it comes before them for a final vote. That’s why the fire chiefs think it’s important that they weigh in, Watson says. “That vote includes every fire chief in every community in the county. That’s huge because I think there will be commissioners who will think, ‘I wonder what my fire chief thinks of this,’ and they’ll know we all support it,� Watson says. “We don’t want to stagnate development. We know that if we don’t have development, we don’t have a need for fire departments. We want to be able to protect people and do our jobs, though.�

Teen Christmas deadline extended By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — More than 100 local teens need your help to ensure they have not only a bright Christmas, but also clothes to get them through the coming year. Kim Loveday, coordinator of Sevier County’s Teen Christmas, says her program is at a crisis point this year, with remarkably high demand and sagging donations. That has forced her to extend the deadline for helping the program from today through the middle of next week and has her worried this might be the first Christmas she’s had to turn folks down. “I just don’t have enough sponsors,� Loveday says. “I have about 116 who haven’t been sponsored yet. I don’t know what I’m going to do.� The program, the only one that serves local teenagers in need during the holiday season, has seen a startling amount of demand this year thanks to the ongoing recession. Parents filled the lobby of the Sevierville Community Center during sign-ups for the program, many of them pleading with Loveday for help. Teen Christmas provides a new outfit for each participating youth, everything from pants to a coat. Sponsors pay for that, while the program itself buys hygiene items out of donated funds. Though the gifts may not seem like much in a season that has become dominated by dreams of the latest and greatest thing, they can mean the world for a teenager in need, Loveday says. “These kids need clothes,� she says. “I’ve got one kid who wears the

same pair of jeans to school every day. When it gets to that point, it effects their self esteem. It makes them not want to go to school each day. When they’re getting teased all the time or they’re worried about how they look, they’re not going to be able to learn.� That’s why meeting those basic needs is so important, Loveday says, and why she doesn’t want to have to turn a single local teenager away this year or any other. For information on helping, including directions on how to sponsor a child, call Loveday at the Family Resource Center at 428-7999. All contributions must be received by the middle of next week to be ready for the distribution at the Sevierville Community Center Dec. 12. n dhodges@themountainpress.com
pretty well-planned out itinerary.� That was until snow started falling around the boys as they approached the Tricorner Knob camping shelter about halfway between the gaps. With the going getting a bit rough, they decided to stop there for the night, though it wasn’t their intended destination. “We said, ‘Well, we’ll just make up the time tomorrow,’� Johnson explained. “We went to sleep and didn’t think anymore about it. It snowed all that night. When we woke up, the snow was four or five feet deep around the shelter.� As it turned out, the blanket of white was actually at its shallowest closer to the boys. As they struck out from the shelter, they encountered snow up to their chests. Wading through the frozen stuff with their heavy packs on their backs, the two found their progress slow going. “We couldn’t even see the trail markers on the trees,� Johnson said. “They were just completely obliterated. For anyone who’s been on the Appalachian Trail, you know those markers are about four or five feet off the ground.� “We were just trying to plod through it, but after two hours we realized we had only gone about a quarter of a mile. We knew that if we got too much further away, we would be too exhausted to get back to the shelter.� The boys turned around and headed back to the shelter, spending another night there as their parents became increasingly worried about them. As the next day dawned, Johnson decided to take action. Being a Boy Scout, he had training in surviving such situations that told him he needed to mark out their location in case rescuers should try to find the boys by air. He

Park personnel had a cake made to celebrate the reunion. stomped the word “Help� into the snow and laid a red backpack Laws borrowed for the trip nearby. Then the boys waited. And waited. Unbeknownst to them, just a few miles away, national park rangers spent the day doing everything they could to find the boys, who were now two days late for meeting their parents at Newfound Gap. Unfortunately, the rangers ran into as many problems as the boys had, with some who tried the trip on snowmobile stuck when their transports wrecked, while another group on showshoes couldn’t make it to the boys by sunset. The boys spent another night in the cold, Johnson’s feet chilling to the point of frostbite, likely the result of his effort to mark out his signal word in the snow. Things looked grim and Johnson concedes the two weren’t sure they were going to make it. Certainly thoughts about all the Christmases they had and the ones that might not be
were running through their minds and their parents’ that night as the rangers made plans to bring a helicopter in on the search. Shortly after daybreak, the boys spotted that two-man chopper and waved to its occupants, who spotted their location thanks to Johnson’s signs. The metallic bird left with the promise a larger craft would be back in the afternoon to get the boys. With the help of the U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, a CH 46 Chinook helicopter was brought in to complete the mission. Braving high winds, the crew of rangers, Army personnel and nurses flew in to save the boys. “It sounded like thunder,� Johnson said of the approaching helicopter. “We never expected something that big. It was incredible.� The boys were lifted out
of their desperate situation with the help of a line and a wench. As that happened, Wannetta Johnson said more than the two lives were saved. “People ask me why I keep coming back. How could I not? When you saved his life, you saved mine,� Johnson said, her voice cracking with emotion as she addressed a room full of park staffers and reporters. Among that gathering was retired ranger Dwight McCarter, the only person still in the area who helped with the rescue. It was the first time he’s seen Eric Johnson since that Dec. 3 three and a half decades ago. “To see someone living and moving and breathing that you know otherwise wouldn’t be alive, that means something,� McCarter said. “Had we not been there, he wouldn’t have been around, and his dreams and his parents’ dreams would have been snuffed out.� Though those involved have all moved on now except for McCarter, Wannetta Johnson has continued her trek every year, bringing with her the largest poinsettia her local florist can find. For a while she had her husband, Harry, to accompany her, but he has since died and her effort became a oneperson show as Eric moved around the country through his career. This year, though, Eric got to come along, bringing not just the poinsettia but a plaque to commemorate the day his life was saved by angels in grey and green. “I never heard all the story before today,� Wannetta Johnson said. “Eric never told me all that. It’s a wonderful story. This has been the best day of my life.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Senator’s daughter carjacked; unhurt NASHVILLE (AP) — The 22-year-old daughter of U.S. Sen. Bob Corker was carjacked in Washington, D.C., but was not seriously injured, a spokesman said Thursday. D.C. police said they had taken two suspects into custody. Todd Womack, a spokesman for the Tennessee Republican, said Julia Corker was driving Wednesday night to an apartment where the family lives near the Verizon Center.
S h e was approached by a person asking for directions around 9:30 p.m., D.C. police Corker said in a news release. While she was giving directions, another person got in the passenger side of her vehicle and forced Corker out. Womack said she was thrown to the street but didn’t suffer serious
injuries. “She’s done remarkably well,” the senator said in a statement released by his office Thursday afternoon. “She’s sore and it’s obviously shaken her up, and she’s still dealing with police officials here from the area.” The senator said the area where the incident happened “is perceived to be a very safe and well-traveled area.” It’s about nine blocks from the Capitol. Womack said the sen-
ator was at the scene within minutes. The Chevy Tahoe was found in Prince George’s County, Md., where two people were taken into custody, police said. Julia Corker was able to positively identify both suspects, whose names were not released. One of the suspects was from northeast D.C. and the second was from District Heights, Md., police said. Both will be brought back to Washington on a warrant for unarmed carjacking.

commentary
U.S. position isn’t like ancient Rome It has become fashionable on both the left and the right to compare the United States to ancient Rome. Decline and fall: We are a militaristic power trying to make everyone else in the known world submit to our way, or we are an irreligious, hedonistic bunch going the way of all flesh. Or maybe both. Not true, according to two interesting recent books. Thomas F. Madden, a professor of ancient history at St. Louis University, begins his book, “Empires of Trust,” by denouncing “political screeds that yank bloody bits of Roman history out of context in order to make hackneyed partisan points.” Then he adds: “The Rome that fell, it should be remembered, was over two thousand years old. We should be so lucky. No, the young United States has nothing at all in common with the aged imperial Rome, but it has important things in common with the youthful Roman Republic.” Rome actually fell three times, argues Madden. In 27 B.C., the Roman Republic, the regime he compares with the United States, evolved into the one-man rule of an emperor in Italy and beyond. That Roman Empire was overrun by barbarians in A.D. 476. But the eastern empire with its capital in Constantinople, continued to thrive into the Middle Ages, finally falling to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. It is that Eastern Roman Empire, also called Byzantium, that is the focus of “The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire,” by the often controversial national security intellectual Edward Luttwak. While Madden sees the Roman Republic and the United States as empires of trust -- nations with allies, some once conquered, who trust them as military and economic powers -- Luttwak advocates that the “American Empire” would do well to emulate the strategies of Byzantium. “Economic crisis, mounting national debt, excessive foreign commitments,” says Luttwak, speaking of the middle period of Roman emperors, “this is no way to run an empire. America ... has never been Rome, and to adopt its strategies now -- in ruthless expansion of empire by domination of foreign peoples, and a bone-crushing brand of total war -- would only hasten America’s decline.” Luttwak, who says he has studied Byzantine documents and other writings for two decades, advises Americans to learn seven lessons from Byzantium. They are: “1. Avoid war by every possible means ... but always act as if war might start at anytime. ... Train intensively and be ready for battle at all times. “2. Gather intelligence on the enemy and his mentality, and monitor his actions continuously. “3. Campaign vigorously, both offensively and defensively, but avoid battles, especially large-scale battles. “4. Replace the battle of attrition and occupation of countries with maneuver warfare -- lightning strikes and offensive raids to disrupt enemies. “5. Strive to end wars successfully by recruiting allies to change the balance of power. Diplomacy is even more important during war than peace. “6. Subversion is the cheapest path to victory. So cheap, in fact, as compared with the risks and costs of battle that it must always be attempted. ... Remember: Even religious fanatics can be bribed. “7. When diplomacy and subversion are not enough and fighting is unavoidable, use methods and tactics that exploit enemy weaknesses, avoid consuming combat forces, and patiently whittle down the enemy’s strength.” As for Madden, he concludes with a rush of optimism: “America is a young country and an even younger empire. ... Americans remain optimistic about the future and confident in their abilities. They have reason to be. ... Americans have almost secured their horizon. That is what an Empire of Trust is driven to do. We may not be able to see the end of America’s road, but its direction seems clear enough. And, for both Americans and the world, it is a good road to follow.” Thanks, we needed that. There is some confusion and contradiction in what Madden and Luttwak have to say, but clearly they believe the sky is not falling yet. Thoughts and reflections like theirs might even cause a president to take his time in making decisions about trying to exercise great and lethal power beyond the horizon. — Richard Reeves, a presidential scholar and expert on six presidents, is the author of several books, including profiles of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy.

Christmas spirit Parades in Gatlinburg, Sevierville are sure to spread holiday cheer They won’t get the national attention of the Macy’s parade in New York City or the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day, but make no mistake about it, the Christmas parades in Gatlinburg and Sevierville this weekend will be marvelous holiday events. It’s certainly going to feel like Christmas. The forecast for tonight’s 34th annual “Fantasy of Lights” Christmas parade that begins downtown at 7:30, calls for a low of 29 with a slight chance of snow showers. The forecast for the “A Dickens of a Christmas” parade that begins at 11 a.m. Saturday in downtown Sevierville, calls for a high of 41, again with a slight chance of snow showers. (If you’re one of those people dreaming of a white Christmas — parade, that is — you might just get your wish.) Officials in Gatlinburg are expecting a crowd of 60,000 to 70,000 spectators to
line the parade route, and there will be more than 100 entries. In honor of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Superintendent Dale Ditmanson will serve as grand marshal, with Steve McGranahan, “The World’s Strongest Redneck,” the honorary grand marshal. There will be giant helium balloons and more than a dozen marching bands in the event. Prior to the parade, there will be performances by the Walters State Performing Arts Program, Elizabeth Williams Dance Academy, and the Winter Tunes and Tales carolers. Santa will have an autograph party beginning at 6 p.m. at Riverbend Mall in the midst of the main viewing area for the parade at traffic light No. 3. In the Sevierville parade, members of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment headquartered in Pigeon Forge will serve as grand marshals, a fitting sendoff for
these men and women who leave Sunday for the start of a deployment overseas. Several entries in the Sevierville parade will be based on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” including one that will include past city leaders reading the classic Christmas tale to children in the library’s reading program. Other entries include the Patriot Guard, some Holiday of Hope pageant winners and a Bass Pro Shops pontoon boat float. Two bagpipers and a drummer will lead the parade for the first time. The Kerbela Shriners motorized clowns, area mascots and majorettes will join in, and the parade will conclude with the arrival of Santa on the Tanger Five Oaks sleigh. Whether you are a child of 8 or 80, get out your longjohns and heavy coats and make plans to attend one or both of these parades. If the holiday spirit hasn’t engulfed you already, these two parades will officially usher it in.

Lady Tigers get 2nd win of decade over Bearettes Brooks sets single-game mark for PF with 33 points By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor PIGEON FORGE — Kelsey Brooks was red-hot for the Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers (5-1) Thursday night against the visiting Sevier County Bearettes (0-6). The junior sharpshooter set the school record with 33 points as the Lady Tigers snapped a 3-game losing streak to the Bearettes with a 68-59 win. The Lady Tigers used early full-court pressure to force Bearette turnovers and cruise out to a 10-2 lead behind seven quick points from Brooks. “We talked about coming out strong,” PF coach Paul Reagan said. “We wanted to show Sevier County we were ready to play.” But the Bearettes weren’t going down without a fight, and two long rang bombs from senior Jaisa Moritz, two midrange baskets from Carly Pippin and a 3-point play from post Amber Harris got the team back in the game 18-15 by the end of the first period. “I give Stacy (Marine, coach of the Bearettes) a ton of credit. I think he’s a great coach. This year they’re struggling, but I thought they played well tonight.” The teams traded nearly shot-for-shot in the second

At halftime, the score stood 28-23 Pigeon Forge. But in the third quarter the Lady Tigers built some separation between themselves and the Bearettes, again turning up the pressure. Fouls hurt the Bearettes, as Pigeon Forge converted time and time again from the charity stripe. Brooks hit 11 free throws alone in the quarter, while also knocking down a 3-ball to spur her team out to a 15-point lead at 43-27 mid-
way through the quarter. But again, the Bearettes battled back, and a Madison Pickel 3-pointer got the Purple back to a manageable deficit at 46-39 heading into the final quarter. In the fourth the Bearettes closed the gap to four points on another Pickel trey, before Pigeon Forge scored eight-straight from the line to seal the team’s win. “This is a county rivalry, friend against friend, and we came out on top,” coach Reagan said. Brooks led all scorers with 33. She was followed by Martin with 16, point guard Danielle Rauhuff with eight,
Ashlynn Trotter with five, Kesha Hooker with two and Mindy Brackins with one. Carly Pippin and Hailey Tackett led SCHS with 11 each. Moritz had nine and Pickel finished with eight. The win was the Lady Tigers’ second of the decade against Sevier County, versus three losses. The two teams last played on Jan. 5, 2007 at Pigeon Forge. Sevier County won that matchup 53-51. Brooks’ record 33 points snapped Nora Ramsey’s PF mark of 32 set in 05-06. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Bears grind it out for 36-29 win over PF By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

PIGEON FORGE — It was ugly, but it was a win for the Sevier County High School Smoky Bears on Thursday night at county rival Pigeon Forge Tigers. The master bested his student when SCHS coach Ken Wright defeated his former Gatlinburg-Pittman player Jonathan Shultz’ Tigers team by a low scoring 36-29 final. “That was one of those games where both teams were so tight, I don’t think you could’ve drove a 10-penny nail up their hind ends with a sledge hammer,” said Wright. “It was

obvious that there was a lot of tension on both sides, because they wanted to win so bad. “Neither team played up to their capabilities.” The homestanding Tigers squad (3-3) managed a slight 16-15 edge at intermission, but the difference in the game came from the charity stripe in the second half. The Bears (6-1) had 14 second-half free throw attempts, compared to Pigeon Forge’s two. SCHS managed to convert just 7-of-14 from the line in the second half, but it was enough to secure the sevenpoint victory. The Tigers offense couldn’t get anything going in the third quarter, scoring just two total points on a Justin Carter field goal. But Sevier County didn’t achieve much more, scoring just four points in the third quarter on Jordan Whaley and Jordan Hernandez shots. Also, the Tigers committed more turnovers in the second half than field goal attempts. “We played very hard,” said Shultz. “But we just didn’t play very smart. “I told our guys before the game that it was going to be a test of wills, and I think we passed that test. “We just turned the ball over a lot, especially in the second half, and we don’t have that margin for error. We have to play a better game than that to win.” The Bears were led in scoring by Josh Johnson with 12 and Austin Nave with seven. Ben Cave led PF with 12.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Pittsburgh Steelers accustomed to late-season adversity PITTSBURGH — Hines Ward says one more loss might be too many. At the locker stall next to him, Deshea Townsend says just one victory might be exactly what the slumping Pittsburgh Steelers need. A few lockers down, Ryan Clark notices the lack of panic among the Steelers (6-5) despite a three-game losing streak that includes successive overtime losses, one to the mediocre Kansas City Chiefs (3-8). The Steelers are flirting with becoming the first team to miss the playoffs the season after winning the Super Bowl — since they themselves did it three years ago. That’s not an envious distinction, yet there’s no sense in their dressing room that their season has escaped them. They weren’t very good in November (1-3), yet they still expect to play in January. Maybe it’s because they’ve been in situations like this before. In 2005, they needed to win their final four to make the playoffs and they ended up winning the Super Bowl. Maybe it’s because their schedule is so forgiving, with the Raiders (3-8) up next on Sunday and the Browns (1-10) four days later. Three of their final five games are at Heinz Field, where they have won 10 of their last 11. Or perhaps it’s because the Steelers are accustomed
to closing with a rush. They won six of their final seven last year, four of their final five in 2006 and those final four in 2005. No matter what it is, linebacker James Farrior insists the Steelers remain a confident and close team, despite rumblings they were divided over whether quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) should have sat out Sunday night in Baltimore. “This locker room is tight; we’re a close-knit group,� Farrior said. “Everybody is in it to win it. We’re all in it for the same thing. We’re just going to try to move forward.� They’ve been in reverse since mid-November, losing to the first-place Bengals (8-3) at home before overtime losses at Kansas City (27-24) and Baltimore (20-17). They’ve gone from 6-2 and in position to seize the AFC North lead if they had defeated Cincinnati to virtually being out of the division race. However, an AFC wild card would seem to be there for the Steelers — their remaining opponents own a .400 winning percentage — and they could go from 6-5 to 8-5 in a matter of five days if they beat two teams with a combined record of 4-18. “Think about it,� nose tackle Chris Hoke said. “(In 2005), we were 7-2, lost three in a row, went to 7-5; this year we were 6-2, lost three in a row and went to 6-5. Quite similar situations, so we know it can be
done. We know we can get back on track and start winning these next five games and get on a roll. It’s a very similar group; we got the same group of core guys.� Still, the Steelers don’t have much margin for error; a second loss to the Ravens (6-5) in their Dec. 27 rematch at Pittsburgh might doom their season given that both division rivals could be playing for the same wild-card spot. The Steelers’ key veterans have been together so long — 11 starters, plus kicker Jeff Reed, also played on their 2005 Super Bowlwinning team — that they realize there’s no reason to give up on the season, according to Clark. “Some teams, you look for that guy you always put out in front and put him on TV and let him say, ’So-andso gave a big speech in the locker room and it changed what everybody was doing. Everybody kicked in,�’ Clark said. “That’s only on TV. That’s not reality. That’s not the NFL, at least on good teams. Nobody here is going to sit down and hold a players-only meeting. I’m
not knocking the guys that do that. Here, we don’t need that. Guys pull their own.� The Steelers also aren’t pointing fingers at each other, Clark said, because there isn’t a single position coach who believes his players are doing the job right now. Any player looking for someone to blame needs only to look in the mirror. “The coaches are giving that speech in every room,� Clark said. “They (all position groups) heard they’re the reason we’re not winning right now.� The Steelers must get by for a third consecutive game without safety Troy Polamalu (left knee), who could miss the Browns game as well. What they can’t do is wait for their defensive star to return before they resume winning. “All we can control is what we do moving forward. I think we’ve got a great deal of resolve with this group,� coach Mike Tomlin said. “We’ve got a group that doesn’t blink in the face of adversity. Really, it’s kind of a business-as-usual mentality right now.�

Bowden praised on his weekly call-in TV show By BRENT KALLESTAD Associated Press Writer
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
SCHS’s Ryan Chapman bowls the final frame, a strike, in his 225 first game.
G-P, SC split bowling match SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County and Gatlinburg-Pittman bowling teams split their county rivalry matchup Thursday afternoon at the Sevierville Community Center as the Bears and Lady Highlanders each rolled their way to victory. The Bears won their match 16-11 as Ryan Chapman (225 1st game), Dakota Wells (193 2nd game) and Michael Matheson (200 3rd game) led the way, while G-P’s Joseph Shults (191 1st and 212 3rd) and Robert George (186 2nd) helped keep the game close for the Highlanders. In girls’ action, the Lady Highlanders ran away with the game 21.5-5.5.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Bobby Bowden had hoped to coach another year. The Florida State coach said Thursday on his weekly call-in television show that he wanted to return for another season, but his retirement gives him and his wife Ann an opportunity to travel. “It’s about time to get out and go see the world,” he said when asked about his future plans. “I hope to travel a lot.” Bowden said he plans to leave Tallahassee and would not coach again. “I’m too old,” the 80-yearold Bowden said. “Ann and I are just going to become spectators.” Bowden said he didn’t want to hang around and be asked to comment on how his successor, Jimbo Fisher, was doing. “I don’t think it’s right for people to stay here and

have people asking me what do you think about his, or think about that,” Bowden said. “I’ll probably try to get away for a year and let this coach make this transition. I won’t have any connection for awhile.” Bowden said he hopes to stay busy with speaking engagements. Bowden said he was thankful for his long coaching career, highlighted by working with young men and meeting many families over nearly six decades on the sidelines. In Bowden’s 34 sea-
sons at Florida State, the Seminoles won 315 games, a dozen Atlantic Coast Conference titles, two national championships and were ranked in the top five in The Associated Press poll for 14 straight years. His 388 career wins are second only to Penn State’s Joe Paterno among major college coaches. Bowden, who announced his retirement Tuesday, said he’d be pulling for Florida State the rest of his life. “Even though I won’t be coaching, I know these kids and know what they can do,” Bowden said. “I’ll be their biggest fan.” Gene Deckerhoff, who hosts Bowden’s weekly Thursday call-in show, summed up the sentiments of many callers. “Thursdays just won’t be the same,” said Deckerhoff, the longtime voice of the Seminoles. Saturdays won’t either.

game for Sevier County in the loss with a 164. Kristina McKeon also NEW YORK (AP) — bowled well with a 121 and Disgraced ex-NBA referee 131. Tim Donaghy tells “60 Minutes” the mob threatFrom submitted reports ened his family to ensure he provided his insider picks to inform betting on games. “They basically told me that I needed to give them the picks and if I didn’t, that it’s a possibility that somebody would go down and visit my wife and kids in Florida,” Donaghy says in his first interview since his arrest in the betting scandal, which airs Sunday night on CBS. Donaghy says he bet on games based on his
knowledge of other officials’ biases for and against certain players and teams. Donaghy says he was winning 75 percent of the time, which drew the attention of the mob. “I knew there were certain relationships that existed between referees and players, referees and coaches and referees and owners that influence the point spreads in games,” he says. Donaghy again denies that he influenced any games he called to win a bet. NBA officials declined to participate in the piece
but have denied similar allegations from Donaghy in the past, saying he is an untrustworthy source. Donaghy wrote a tell-all book in prison, but Random House said in October it would not go forward with publishing it. Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months. “We all have choices to make in life and when we decide to go down that wrong road we would be better off backing up. ... Not only do you affect your life ... but the lives of the people you love the most,” he says.

Global warming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adapt or die
Gone with the wind
1-col.
Elevated buildings, taller, stronger dams, new farm practices By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer
Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press
The Winterfest version of the Pigeon Forge City Hall lays blown over, another casualty of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high winds that swept through the county. Officials said some gusts reached more than 80 mph.
With the world losing the battle against global warming so far, experts are warning that humans need to follow natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example: Adapt or die. That means elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, restricting certain developments, changing farming practices and ultimately moving people, plants and animals out of harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Adapting to rising seas and higher temperatures is expected to be a big topic at the U.N. climate-change talks in Copenhagen next week, along with the projected cost â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hundreds of billions of dollars, much of it going to countries that cannot afford it.
%NKOCVG Âś An AP series
That adaptation will be a major focus is remarkable in itself. Until the past couple of years, experts avoided 1/2-col. talking about adjusting to global warming for fear of sounding fatalistic or causing countries to back off efforts to reduce emissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s %NKOCVG Âś been hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t An AP neglected, series been talked about and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the world will have to do,â&#x20AC;? said Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adaptation is going to be absolutely crucial for some societies.â&#x20AC;? Some biologists point to how nature has handled the changing climate. The rare Adonis blue butterfly of Britain looked as if it was going to disappear because it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly far and global warming was making its habitat unbearable. To biol-
ogistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surprise, it evolved longer thoraxes and wings, allowing it to fly farther to cooler locales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Society needs to be changing as much as wildlife is changing,â&#x20AC;? said Texas A&M biologist Camille Parmesan, an expert on <AP> CLIMATE LOGO how species change 111809: Logo for use with anywith globalrelated warming. climate stories; 0.5c x 1 inch,One 23 mm x 25 mm;is1cthat x 5/8 clidifficulty inch, 47 change mm x 15 mm; PCS; mate is happening ETA 2 p.m. <AP> rapidly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adaptation Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: It is mandatory towill include allbe sources that accompany this graphic when particularly challenging repurposing or editing it for publication because the rate of change is escalating and is moving outside the range to which society has adapted in the pastâ&#x20AC;? when more natural climate changes happened, U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco, a marine biologist, told Congress on Wednesday. Cities, states and countries are scrambling to adapt or are at least talking about it and setting aside money for it. Some examples: n England is strengthen-
ing the Thames River flood control barrier at a cost of around half a billion dollars. n The Netherlands is making its crucial flood control system stronger. n California is redesigning the gates that move water around the agriculturally vital Sacramento River Delta so that they can work when the sea level rises dramatically there. n Boston elevated a sewage treatment plant to keep it from being flooded when sea level rises. New York City is looking at similar maneuvers for water plants. n Chicago has a program to promote rooftop vegetation and reflective roofs that absorb less heat. That could keep the temperature down and ease heat waves. n Engineers are installing â&#x20AC;&#x153;thermal siphonsâ&#x20AC;? along the oil pipeline in Alaska, which is built on permafrost that is thawing, to draw heat away from the ground.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cat camsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reveal what kitties do when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re home alone LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; What do cats do when their owners are away? There was one way to find out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;cat cams.â&#x20AC;? Fifty house cats were given collar cameras that took a photo every 15 minutes. The results put a digital dent in some human theories about catnapping. Based on the photos, about 22 percent of the catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time was spent looking out of windows, 12 percent was used to interact with other family pets and 8 percent was spent climbing on chairs or kitty condos. Just 6 percent of their hours were spent sleeping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What surprised me was how active the cats were.
I believed my three cats were sleeping during the day,â&#x20AC;? said Jill Villarreal, an animal behavior scientist who collected the data for Nestle Purina PetCareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friskies brand of cat food. The 777 photos studied by Villarreal showed the cats looking at a television, computer, DVDs or other media 6 percent of the time and hiding under tables 6 percent of the time. Coming in at 5 percent was playing with toys; eating or looking at food finished at 4 percent. Will the cats get movie cameras next? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the think tank now,â&#x20AC;? Villarreal said.

Dream with talents Museum acquires Jackson car and skills in mind From Submitted Reports
from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accept Yourself And Your Worthâ&#x20AC;? chapter of my â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Strategy For Winningâ&#x20AC;? book reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can you use your talents and abilities to reach your potentials? First, you must know yourself ... what your strengths and weaknesses are ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you know your good side and bad side, your positives and negatives, your pluses and minuses, your likes and dislikes. How well you know yourself will determine how well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to set, plan and reach your goals. The real challenge is to discover, develop and use your strengths wisely.â&#x20AC;? Susan Boyle may have become an object of ridicule if she had opened her mouth and did not have the talent and obvious practiced expertise she possessed. From what I read, apparently most of her singing had been confined to her local church and amateur events. Finally, she found the courage and the opportunity to step out onto the big stage and give it a try. There are many things that Susan can never be. But she can and did become a professional singer. Discover, develop and use your strengths wisely. Keep on dreaming. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Š Carl Mays, author and speaker. E-mail to carlmays@carlmays.com. His books are available in stores, on www.carlmays. com and other Internet locations.

The Department of Health is responsible for regulation of food service establishments in Tennessee The law requires that restaurants have an unannounced inspection at least once every six months to determine if they are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations at the time of inspection. In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints. Tennessee uses a 44-item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Inspections since Nov. 25:

A brief newspaper report and an e-mail message from my friend Steve Williford combined to lead to this column. Earlier this year, I had seen a couple of things about Susan Boyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talentâ&#x20AC;? show and how she, a very unlikely contestant, won over the audience and came in second. This week, I saw her photo and the accompanying story of how the 48-yearold Scottish songstress, described as having an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unkempt, frumpy appearance,â&#x20AC;? has the largest first-week sales for a debut album in U.K chart history. Released on Nov. 23, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Dreamed A Dreamâ&#x20AC;? album had already sold over 410,000 copies. After reading the story, I Googled Susan and clicked on her YouTube video. When she first took the stage, engaged in some banter and said her dream was to be a professional singer, the celebrity judges intentionally or unintentionally made fun of her with their expressions and comments. The young audience appeared to share a mixture of disbelief, disgust and embarrassment for Susan. Then the accompaniment tape began and this resident of a housing commission home sang the first line of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Dreamed A Dreamâ&#x20AC;? from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Miserables.â&#x20AC;? The judges and audience were immediately captivated. So was I. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen and heard her, I suggest you Google as I did. Then came the e-mail from Steve. He sent me an online column by family psychologist John Rosemond who told of how a grandmother was incensed that her son and daughter-in-law keep telling her 8-yearold grandson he can be anything he wants to be in life. The grandmother went on to say it was a completely irresponsible thing to tell a child. Rosemond concurred. He wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents never told me I could be whatever I want to be. They told me what all parents should tell children: I was blessed with a finite set of strengths. It was primarily my responsibility to discover what they were, develop them and use them for the benefit of my fellow citizens.â&#x20AC;? I agree with Rosemond. An excerpt

Tasty, speedy latkes from Suggestions sought of endangered places frozen hash browns By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Latkes aren’t all that difficult to make, but it’s always nice to amp the flavor and trim some time where you can. In this easy rethinking of the Hanukkah staple, you won’t need to break out the food processor or bloody your knuckles to grate the potatoes. A bag of frozen hash browns (which are just grated and frozen potatoes) allows you to skip that step entirely. To add flavor, the hash browns are blended with onions and mushrooms that are slowly sauteed until browned. Some thyme, smoked paprika and garlic powder also are added, but you could substitute whatever seasonings you prefer. If you’d rather not fry, you also could bake these latkes. Just scoop the mixture into pancakes on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 400 F until crisp on the bottom. Flip and cook until evenly browned. For a tasty sauce for these (or any) latkes, mix 1/2 cup of sour cream with some minced garlic, a splash of lemon juice and a bit of salt and pepper.

Publishers fight the Web with behemoth cookbooks By MICHELE KAYAL For The Associated Press
What exactly is one person supposed to do with 2,000 Italian recipes? Or 1,400 French dishes? A new generation of comprehensive (some would say behemoth) cookbooks is cramming thousands of recipes into weighty volumes, some nearly 3 inches thick and weighing more than 4 pounds. Why the heavyweights? Publishers say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of survival, crediting the Internet and the tough economy with driving the trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This might be a reaction to the Internet and the encyclopedic selection of recipes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at your fingertips,â&#x20AC;? says Chris Steighner, senior editor at Rizzoli Publications, publisher of â&#x20AC;&#x153;La Cucina,â&#x20AC;? a 4 1/4-pound, 2,000-recipe ode to regional Italian cooking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it is about quantity now because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re faced with the Internet,â&#x20AC;? he says. During the past four years, roughly a dozen of these monsters have crashed the landscape of five-ingredient, 30-minute meal books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Silver Spoon,â&#x20AC;? for example, the categoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2005 standardbearer, jams 2,000 Italian recipes into 1,264 pages. For Francophiles, there is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Know How to Cook,â&#x20AC;? a translation of a popular French cookbook featuring 1,400 recipes over 975 pages. And last year, the 10th anniversary edition of Mark Bittmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Cook Everythingâ&#x20AC;? sported 2,000 recipes. By comparison, the just-released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gourmet Todayâ&#x20AC;? (from the defunct magazine) seems slender
with just 1,000 recipes and pages. Most traditionally sized cookbooks clock in closer to 150 recipes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are demanding them,â&#x20AC;? says Emilia Terragni, editorial director at Phaidon Press, publisher of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Silver Spoon,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Know How to Cookâ&#x20AC;? and other mega-volumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have over 1,000 or over 2,000 recipes and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still selling for $45. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good price.â&#x20AC;? Giant cookbooks are nothing new. As far back as 1896, Fannie Farmer offered more than 1,800 recipes for everything from â&#x20AC;&#x153;after-dinner coffeeâ&#x20AC;? to capon in aspic. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joy of Cookingâ&#x20AC;? has had a kitchen-sink approach since it was first mass published in 1936. And Julia Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1961 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mastering the Art of French Cookingâ&#x20AC;? eventu-
ally filled two volumes. Such cookbooks mostly lost favor during recent decades, supplanted by slimmer and more narrowly focused volumes, many of them driven by celebrity names. Then the Internet changed how people find recipes, and bigger books have tried to bounce back. But critics say these books lack one crucial element: voice. Most of these books are light on accompanying text and personality. Yet a sense of voice gives cookbooks not only readability, but also credibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mastering the Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; had such a huge living personality behind it, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who the author of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;The Silver Spoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is,â&#x20AC;? says Lynn Andriani, a senior editor at Publisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weekly

who covers cookbooks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have an author behind a book who has a distinct voice and gets to know their audience and seems committed, it helps a book gain a foothold culturally.â&#x20AC;? Many people are less interested in voice, however, than in a reliable resource for one-stop shopping. For that, these books can shine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These mammoth cookbooks have that encyclopedic quality that people find reassuring,â&#x20AC;? says Rebecca Federman, electronic resources coordinator at the New York Public Library. She also writes about the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culinary collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People use them as reference works too, by consulting them for basic recipes.â&#x20AC;?
These simple steak patties from Ginette Mathiotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Know How to Cook,â&#x20AC;? may resemble an all-American burger, but their sublime taste makes clear their French lineage. Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 14 oz. sirloin steak, chopped 3 1/2 oz. button mushrooms, chopped 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 egg Salt and ground black pepper, to taste All-purpose flour, for dredging 3 T. olive oil, divided In a large bowl, mix together the chopped beef, mushrooms and garlic. Add the egg, mix well, then season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 patties, then dredge each through flour to lightly coat. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat half of the oil. Add 3 of the patties and brown for 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties. (Recipe from Ginette Mathiotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Know How to Cook,â&#x20AC;?

Advice
Continued, unrepentant lying sign of mental health problem
Zits

Baby Blues
Beetle Bailey
Dear Annie: My 22-year-old son constantly lies. He lies about lying. No one believes anything he says anymore. Recently I went on vacation, and he decided to vandalize my home. The police were called, and now we have to go to court. He doesn’t understand why they were called and why he has to pay me for the damage he caused. He has also bragged to some people about what happened. But of course, he lied. I have talked with him until I’m blue in the face, and nothing changes. It’s been two months since I’ve spoken to him. I cannot bring myself to forgive him for the damage to my home. Is there anything that can be done to make him take responsibility for his behavior? — Fed-Up Mom Dear Fed Up: Your son needs therapy. The fact that he doesn’t understand why lying and stealing are wrong indicates a mental health problem. Since he is now in the court system, this could be your best opportunity to see that he gets help before it is too late for you to make a difference. Talk to your lawyer about options. Dear Annie: Even though I have signs posted by my doors requesting that people not wear their shoes in my beautiful, clean house, they totally ignore me. I have specifically asked workmen to remove their shoes, only to have them tromp through my house as if it were a barn, spreading dirt and germs. When I provide house slippers, they wear them outside and then come back in with them still
on. Each time this happens, I have to wash the rugs and clean the entire house (which takes three days) in an attempt not to get sick. The last time, I was bedridden for two months and it cost me a fortune in out-of-pocket medical expenses. I don’t feel I should have to explain my medical issues to visitors. If some social slob ignores my requests, I do not invite them back. I feel it’s a form of passive-aggression. What can I do? — Trying To Remain Above Ground Dear Trying: This is a combination of laziness and a lack of understanding. Unless someone knows how easily you become ill, it simply sounds as if you are overly obsessive about germs, and they feel free to ignore you. You are not obligated to inform people of your medical issues, but since you are so severely affected, you might want to open up enough to make them partners in your care, rather than adversaries. Dear Annie: I had to write in after reading several different letters from readers objecting to women and teens wearing low-cut, form-fitting clothing. I am one of them. You suggest women dressed this way are assumed to be “unprofessional,” “teases” or “sexually
t o d ay ’ s p u z z l e

available.” Why do women have to rearrange their wardrobe because it may attract a man’s attention? This is no different from the law in some Islamic countries prohibiting women from wearing bright lipstick and noisy heels to curb “rape” and protect a woman’s “dignity.” Let’s not go back to the time of feeling shameful about our bodies. It’s quite apparent this is not a women’s clothing problem. It’s a man’s issue with women. — It’s a Wardrobe, Not a Calling Dear Wardrobe: We don’t really care how you choose to dress. It should be your decision and in compliance with the dress code of your workplace. Regardless, it certainly does not give men the right to attack you. But telling men they shouldn’t see women as sexual beings is not going to happen nor, frankly, would most women want it to. So it’s important that women understand the reality — that the way they present themselves says something about them, good or bad. The same, by the way, goes for men.
