KNOXVILLE — Anyone who thought the saga of convicted Ponzi schemer Dennis Bolze could finally be put to rest with his late-August sentencing is in for a rude awakening.

Kim Tollison, the public defend-er appointed to represent Bolze,

has filed notice in U.S. District Court that Bolze is appealing the 327-month prison sentence handed down by Judge Thomas Varlan. The move means the criminal actions against Bolze will get new

life in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Since Bolze has already pleaded guilty to the three counts each of wire fraud and money laundering the government brought against him, the appeal is only an effort to have the sentence reduced.

The action isn’t exactly unex-pected since Tollison hinted it might be coming during the last

hearing on the matter. However, it wasn’t clear whether Bolze would actually appeal the jail term or if Tollison was simply reserving the right to appeal, with a requirement that the defendant announce that intent to the court.

It’s not clear on what grounds Bolze is appealing and The

SEVIERVILLE — With Wednesday’s start of early voting, local residents will get their first chance to weigh in on state and national races to be decid-ed during the Nov. 2 gen-eral election.

The last of 2010’s trio of votes, the balloting is likely to draw consider-able interest given a hard-fought race for the gover-nor’s seat being vacated by the term-limited Gov. Phil Bredesen. While there are several other contests set to local residents, that’s the one election officials say they’ve heard the most interest in.

“It’s always a wait-and-see sort of thing when you’re talking about pre-dicting early voting num-bers, but we’ve had a lot of inquiries about when early voting starts,” Election Commission staffer Ed Kuncitis says. “I think the governor’s race is driving people to vote this year, but we just don’t know yet how many of them are going to turn out to vote

early or at all.”That continues a trend

that has carried throughout the year. Before the Aug. 5 balloting, Administrator of Elections Ronée Flynn said the primary battle over who would be the Republican nominee for the post was yield-ing the only calls to the office. Now that Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam has handily claimed that race, the decision is between him and Democrat Mike McWherter, son of former Gov. Ned McWherter.

SEVIERVILLE — Plans for improvements to downtown are finally heading back to the draw-ing board.

The Public Building Authority had originally planned to build a new parking garage on Bruce Street property the city had long leased downtown. The PBA pur-chased the property as well as

some adjacent land, and leveled some stores to add more room, but the plans for a garage were scrapped amid concerns over the cost.

The new concept for the park-ing area calls for additional spaces landscaping and other improvements. It had been sit-ting idle for some time, but City Administrator Steve Hendrix told the PBA on Monday that he believed it was time to get the

project back on track.“We need to move forward with

this project and I wanted to bring it up one more time before we started over,” Hendrix said.

The PBA approved his request to send the project back to the firm of Barge, Waggoner, Sumner & Cannon for a redesign.

The project should be finished next summer, Hendrix said.

Also Monday, Hendrix told the PBA a search committee has

identified a finalist for the vacant marketing coordinator position at the Events Center. The job has been open since Mike Wilds announced his departure early this year.

Hendrix said the candidates were reviewed by a committee that included himself, assistant city administrator Tracy Baker, the city’s director of human

SEYMOUR — A Seymour man has been arrested in connection with car bur-glaries.

On Monday around 1:20 a.m officers were dis-patched to a vehicle bur-glary on Colonial Circle in Seymour. Officers found that a vehicle had been burglarized while in the owner’s driveway.

During the investiga-tion officers observed a man walking through a neighboring yard car-rying several items. As officers tried to

approach the man he d r o p p e d the items and fled on foot. The offi-c e r s chased the man, and he was apprehended a short time later in a nearby wooded area.

The items that the subject dropped were identified as coming from another car burglary in the subdivision, Sheriff Ron Seals said.

Thomas E. Ingle, 25, of

220 Maryville Highway, was charged with two counts of burglary of a motor vehicle and one count of evading arrest. He is currently out on state parole for various other felony offenses in Sevier County, Seals said.

Ingle is jailed and await-ing arraignment.

Seals said some of the property found during the investigation is still unclaimed, and victims of car burglaries that occurred on Sunday night in the Seymour area are asked to call Detective James Breeden at 428-1899.

One of the key com-ponents of a successful forage production pro-gram is a solid fertiliza-tion plan.

Gary Bates, for-age specialist with University of Tennessee Extension Department of Plant Sciences, says to produce the forage required for grazing or hay, it is essential that the nutrients needed by the plants are provided in adequate quantities.

“Typically, fertiliza-tion is considered a springtime procedure,” he said. “However, many reasons make fertilizer applications in the fall appealing for Tennessee producers.

Bates lists these explanations:

1. Stockpiling of tall fescue. Applying fall nitrogen to tall fescue can increase the growth for grazing during the winter, reducing hay feeding by one or two months.

2. Fertilizer can be less expensive during fall. Often the price for fertilizer is cheaper dur-ing this time of the year compared to spring. Also, since it is not the busy season, it may be easier to get it done.

3. Only one applica-tion is needed if clovers are used. If clovers are utilized in a tall fescue, no nitrogen is needed during the spring. Since all the potash and phosphate required for a year can be applied at one time, applying all of these two, plus the nitrogen for stockpil-ing, can mean that only one fertilizer applica-tion is needed each year.

4. Improve cold toler-ance of Bermuda grass. Since Tennessee is on the northern border

of the adaptation of Bermuda grass, there is the potential for win-ter kill for most of the Bermuda grass in the state. A fall application of potash and phos-phate will help improve the cold tolerance of Burmuda grass.

Bates also offers the following points for fer-tilizing in the fall:

When to fertilize: For stockpiling tall fescue, fertilize after the fall rains begin, when the fescue has begun to re-grow after the sum-mer heat and drought. It will be best to have the pasture grazed or clipped to remove all summer growth from the field.

How much to fertil-ize: For stockpiling tall fescue, approximately 60 lb of nitrogen per acre is best to use. Current soil-test results are essential for know-ing how much phos-phate and potash to apply.

The forage expert reminds producers that fall is a good time to sample soil to deter-mine the fertility status of pastures. “Soil-test results will show what nutrients are needed and how much to apply,” he said.

Determining the needed fertilizer: When trying to determine the best type of fertilizer to use, the biggest consid-eration is the form of nitrogen. The two main types of nitrogen fertil-izer used in Tennessee are urea and ammo-nium nitrate. Urea is 46

percent nitrogen, while ammonium nitrate is 34 percent nitrogen. For fall fertilization, Bates says ammonium nitrate is best because of the greater poten-tial for nitrogen loss with urea during the fall. Nitrogen can be lost to the atmosphere as ammonia when conditions are hot with moderate mois-ture. Temperatures 75 degrees or above, with high soil pH and mois-ture, can result in the loss of 20 to 30 percent of the nitrogen from urea when applied to the soil surface and not incorporated by rainfall because all of the nitro-gen is in the ammonia form. If urea is used for fall fertilization, it is best applied when rain is expected with two to three days or a urease inhibitor should be used to delay conver-sion of the urea to the ammonium form.

Fall fertilization is a management tool that can be utilized on most cattle farms in Tennessee. Because phosphate and potash are stable in the soil, a once-a-year application is adequate. Fall appli-cation of these nutri-ents fits nicely with a stockpiling program, because nitrogen can be added with the potash and phosphate to make a balance fertilizer application.

Bates urges produc-ers to consider apply-ing fertilizer this fall and using clovers next spring to provide the nitrogen needed for a solid forage production program.

SEYMOUR — Harrison-Chilhowee Baptist Academy’s Bible Training Center will be offering its second course of the 2010-2011 school year beginning Saturday.

Mark Martin, who is the BTC coordi-nator, will teach “The Book of James.”

Martin cites the relevance of this study in the context of what he calls an “epidemic of massive proportions that’s infecting the Christian community.

“We constantly hear of people who say they believe one thing but they don’t act in ways that support their belief. Whether it is in politics, a New Year’s resolution, or a simple commitment to God at the end of a worship service, many ‘Christians’ do not seem to take their pledge to follow the Lord seri-ously.

“This is what makes James such an important New Testament epistle,”

Martin said. “It deals with this problem. James helps sort out the disconnect between Christian faith and Christian living.”

Classes will meet Saturdays from 8 a.m.-noon, in the Hasson Building at The King’s Academy. The class ends Dec. 11. Tuition is $145 plus books. Admission and financial aid forms for returning and new students will be available the first day of class.

The Bible Training Center is a pro-gram designed with bivocational minis-ters in mind. The BTC offers the Diploma in Biblical Studies from the Seminary Extension office of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville.

Harrison-Chilhowee is the non-profit corporation that operates The King’s Academy.

Persons wanting more information on classes, cost or registration may contact the academy at 573-8321 or Martin at 984-5101.

G r e a t S m o k y Mountains National Park officials invite the public to attend sever-al special fall programs at the Mountain Farm Museum, adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, N.C., and the Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg.

A birds of prey pro-gram will be conducted twice by naturalist Doris Mager. The first program will be at the Mountain Farm Museum from 11 a.m.-noon Wednesday. She will do another one at the Sugarlands Visitor

Center from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Mager, also known as the “Eagle Lady,” has been working with rap-tors for more than 35 years. During the two programs, she will have four birds with her, including an American Kestrel, a screech owl and a great horned owl.

The public will have an opportunity to get close to these birds.

T h e y o u n g e r McWherter, who runs a beer distributorship in West Tennessee, appar-ently hasn’t been able to gain much traction in the race. The most recent Rasmussen Reports poll shows Haslam with a 25-point lead, up 56 to 31 percent over McWherter. While that poll is more than two months old, it is the most recent one taken in a contest in which many give McWherter very little chance of winning. Despite its age, it echoes a number of previous

surveys that also showed Haslam leading by 20 or more points.

Outside that battle, there doesn’t appear to be much else drawing interest on the upcom-ing ballot. Voters will also have the opportunity to weigh in on contests for U.S. Congress, as well as the state House and Senate, but given Sevier County’s dedication to the Republican Party, few doubt the outcome of those races.

Early voting is quickly headed toward becoming the regular favorite way for a majority of local res-idents to have their say, with thousands having turned out in advance of

election day for both the May and August balloting this year. Many like its convenience, given there are several weeks’ worth of days in which a vote can be cast, rather than just one day, Kuncitis says.

The option’s popularity has also been bolstered in recent years with the addition of a voting site in Seymour, with that new tradition continuing for this election.

Early voting will oper-

ate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays at the Voting Machine Warehouse on Dolly Parton Parkway from Wednesday through Oct. 28. In Seymour, ballots can be cast at the public library on West Macon Lane from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays Oct. 14-16 and 21-23.

Mountain Press has been unable to reach Tollison. The federal attorney did tell Varlan his client may contest the judge’s ruling based on “procedural” con-cerns.

After he admitted to run-ning a pair of fraudulent investment firms out of his Sevier County home, essentially the only hope the 61-year-old Bolze had of not spending the rest of his life behind bars was convincing Varlan he didn’t deserve a lengthy prison stay. He tried a number of routes to help the judge reach that conclusion, with Tollison arguing Bolze shouldn’t be held respon-sible for folks in Europe who were victimized by his scam and that his victims shouldn’t be considered “particularly vulnerable.”

Most of that effort didn’t stick, though, with the judge dismissing the pleas and the prosecutors so incensed by Bolze’s apparently not accepting full responsibility for his crimes that they asked for the maximum sentence, an actual life term.

During the sentenc-ing hearings, Bolze also attempted to convince Varlan he should be released to allow him to begin working to make res-titution to his victims as the court ordered him to do. Claiming he only wants to make things right with people he hopes will one day be his friends again, Bolze said he would like to be given the opportunity to move to Chicago to sell a computer program he’s developed to stock trad-ers in that city. He vowed to remit all the money he made to a blind trust for the victims, with the excep-tion of a considerable sti-pend to pay for his living expenses.

The push infuriated Bolze’s victims, some of whom shook their heads in disbelief as they listened to his plea for freedom, believ-ing what he was pitching is just another scam, rather than anything meant to help them. Apparently bol-stered by the revelation of

Bolze’s previous criminal record, which includes con-victions for several other financial crimes, Varlan also rejected that effort.

Instead, he sentenced Bolze to 240 months in jail for each of the wire fraud charges and 87 months for each of the money launder-ing offenses. With the sen-tences for several of those running concurrently, the actual sentence comes out to 327 months, or just over 27 years, followed by mon-itored release.

Bolze has admitted he took in more than $20 million from investors in Tennessee, Hawaii, California and even across Europe through the scheme, in which he used money from new investors to pay off existing clients. All that began to unravel when the economy tanked and some of his patrons, suspicious when their dividend checks either stopped coming or started bouncing, demand-ed their money back.

Those folks launched an investigation with a private detective in November 2008, but they never had a chance to really determine what was going on before Bolze fled Sevier County in mid-December 2008. He was found in March 2009 in Jersey Shores, Pa., not far from where he grew up. An IRS special agent who investigated Bolze’s actions told the court Bolze had already borrowed a laptop from a friend in the area and was attempting to recruit new investors in hopes he could pay off the angry ones he left behind.

Bolze claims he didn’t set out to run a fraud, tell-ing the court he simply told some people about his ideas for daytrading and they asked if they could get involved. From there, he maintains he saw the effort as a way to win new friends, with plenty of folks ready to attend swanky parties at his massive Gatlinburg estate when he was giving them the returns he was. However, he told the judge all along he knew what he was doing was wrong, though he insisted it esca-lated to that point and that he did not set out to run a criminal enterprise.

resources, and a city manager from outside the area who has experience hiring staff at a similar building. Hendrix said he asked the other admin-istrator to join the com-mittee to add a different perspective and because of his experience.

The finalist has not been offered the job yet,

but Hendrix indicated he would invite the can-didate to a “meet and greet” with PBA mem-bers and local restaurant and hotel owners after the PBA indicated they felt it didn’t know enough about the person.

PBA member Al Blanton said Hendrix should have done more to keep the board informed of the process, although Hendrix is responsible for marking the hire.

“People will look at us like (we’re) .... idiots if we don’t know how we’re hiring,” he said. “There’s got to be a comfort level with this hire.”

Hendrix acknowledged the prospective coordinator and the PBA and business-people need to be comfort-able with each other.

If they eventually decide against hiring the finalist from the first set of candidates, the com-mittee’s recommenda-

tion is that they advertise again and restart the pro-cess, he said.

Also Monday, Hendrix said the clubhouse for the city’s refurbished golf club is still being worked on. While they reached the point of going over the punch list for con-tractors weeks ago, they found several issues that need to be addressed before it’s ready to open.

sion of the SHS gym will hopefully start in late February or early March. GPHS’s gym will have to relocate its utili-ties underground, with the city performing the installation of water and sewer. Harmon had mentioned at a previous meeting that he hoped the gym’s footers would be done by mid-Febru-ary.

Five Oaks Ogle Inc. of Sevierville will oversee the construction and renovation of the gyms.

Harmon added he hopes additional class-rooms for Catlettsburg Elementary School, which is now at 559 stu-dents, will be ready by Aug. 2011.

In other news:n Before Monday’s

school board meet-ing, the board held a reception for 24 retiring school employees whose total combined service amounted to 554 years.

Jack Parton, direc-tor of schools, said that although the retiring employees’ positions had been replaced, “the blood, sweat and tears you gave these children all these years” could not.

“I appreciate what you’ve done,” he told the retirees. “Every new teacher should have the honor of sitting down with you. You have so much knowledge.”n The board approved

a request for Jones Cove Elementary School to serve as one of 50 schools across the state to field

test components of the Tennessee Department of Education’s poten-tial teacher and prin-cipal evaluation sys-tem in 2010-2011. It also approved Pittman Center Elementary to utilize an alternative teacher evaluation pro-cess and related instru-ment system effective for the 2010-2011 school year.n The board approved

a list of teachers to serve as representative text-book selection commit-tee members in math and computer education as well.

“This is an important year for mathematics,” Debra Cline, direc-tor of curriculum and instruction, told the board. “The standards are much more rigor-ous, and with the cur-

rent textbooks, we feel there’s a gap between them and the new cur-riculum.”n J.P. Caylor, a student

NASHVILLE (AP) — It’s dry from the delta to the mountains. And no relief is coming for the conditions that have persisted since late sum-mer across Tennessee, but the fall and winter forecast looks wetter with temperature above normal.

Rainfall in Chattanooga is off 12.57 inches below a normal year to date, records show, while other parts of the state don’t have such dramatic statistics.

“Chattanooga hasn’t had a trace (of rainfall) this month,” said Mary Black, a forecaster with the

National Weather Service office in Morristown.

In West Tennessee, come local governments have banned outdoor burning and state officials started the fire permit season early.

The rainfall deficit goes back a few months.

“It’s been since the middle of summer,” said Scott McNeil, an NWS meteorologist in Memphis. “There has been consistent upper level high pressure and as a result, there are moderate to severe drought conditions in West

Tennessee and eastern Arkansas with rainfall well below normal.”

October is usually the dri-est month of the calendar across Tennessee, so any major relief isn’t likely soon.

In Nashville, forecasters were watching to see if the high reached 90 degrees Monday. It was expect-ed to hit 89, but if it went one degree higher, it would set a record for the latest 90-degree reading in the city ever. An 89-degree read-ing would tie the record high for the date.

Dry, warm autumn is fire danger, no relief seen

MEMPHIS (AP) — Jurors took less than two hours Monday to convict a man of murdering his brother and five others, including two children, in a bloody rampage in a Memphis home two years ago.

Jessie Dotson, 35, faces the death penalty for one of the city’s worst mass slayings. He showed no emotion, looking straight ahead as the verdict was announced.

Jurors concluded that Dotson shot and killed

his brother, Cecil Dotson, during a 2008 argument and then went after every-one else in the house with his gun and a knife to eliminate witnesses.

Three other children were stabbed but sur-vived. One of them, Cecil Dotson Jr., now 11, was found in a bathtub with a 4 1/2-inch knife blade embedded in his skull. He was a key prosecution witness against his uncle.

Also killed were Jessie Dotson’s nephews, 4-year-old Cemario Dotson and

2-year-old Cecil Dotson II; his brother’s girl-friend, Marissa Williams; and friends Hollis Seals and Shindri Robinson.

Jessie Dotson, in his testimony, blamed the attack on gang members. He said he was at the house on Lester Street, a poor and crime-ridden part of Memphis, and hid under a bed during the slayings. He said he didn’t report them to police because he feared for his life.

However, prosecutors

put Dotson Jr. — who was 9 at the time of the attack — on the stand last week. He testified that “Uncle Junior” shot his father and then attacked him with a knife. Another sur-vivor, 8-year-old Cedric Dotson, also testified against his uncle.

The trial has provided a glimpse into the world of Memphis gangs, with explanations of gang hierarchies and discus-sions of death violations — actions that result in killing as punishment.

Man guilty in six Memphis murders

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 ◆ The Mountain Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton never met a political battle she didn’t like. Until now.

Amid frenzied inside-Washington speculation about her political ambi-tions, the secretary of state is staying firmly on the sidelines. As Democrats and Republicans fight for control of Congress in next month’s midterms, the former first lady and senator will be sitting it out, literally half a world away.

Clinton ran staff and reporters ragged dur-ing her 2008 Democratic presidential campaign. Now, barred by conven-tion and tradition from partisan political activity as America’s top diplomat, she is spending the weeks ahead of the Nov. 2 ballot-ing doing administration business in Europe and Asia.

“I am not in any way involved in any of the political campaigns that are going on up to this midterm election,” Clinton said last week.

Politicking isn’t a prob-lem for her husband, for-mer President Bill Clinton. On Monday he was in Kentucky bringing atten-tion to Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway, who is facing a strong run by Republican Rand Paul, and then heading to West Virginia to help Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin’s bid against Republican John Raese.

The next day the for-mer president is expect-ed to join a rally in Las Vegas to boost Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is running hard for re-election against Republican Sharron Angle. In Colorado, ahead of early voting in the state, Bill Clinton is scheduled

to rally voters in Denver on Oct. 18 on behalf of Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet. That visit comes in spite of Clinton’s endorse-ment of Bennet’s pri-mary challenger, Andrew Romanoff.

Fast-paced campaign appearances amid political twists and turns have been a part of Hillary Clinton’s life for decades. Not any more, she maintains, though her absence from the midterms campaign scene has done nothing to quell rumors that she might swap jobs with Vice President Joe Biden for the 2012 presidential race.

Also whispered: That she harbors a desire to run for the White House again in 2016.

Those rumors per-sist despite denials from Clinton and her staff as well as the White House. Keeping the chatter alive are polls showing that the public sees Clinton more

favorably than either Obama or Biden.

A recent Associated Press-GfK poll showed Clinton with a 62 percent favorable rating and a 36 percent unfavorable rat-ing. Obama’s numbers in a recent poll are 57 percent favorable and 42 percent unfavorable while Biden’s, from last August, are 50 percent favorable versus 43 percent unfavorable.

When asked recently about the Biden swap sce-nario, she replied, “I have absolutely no interest and no reason for doing any-thing other than just dis-missing these stories and moving on.”

One of Clinton’s prede-cessors and the first woman to serve as secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, famously boasted that she had her political instincts “surgically removed” when she took the job. Clinton hasn’t gone that far, but she has come close.

Furniture-tossing teacher put on leave

NASHVILLE (AP) — A Tennessee teacher who was caught on video yell-ing at students and throwing furniture in a classroom has been placed on administrative leave.

According to a statement from Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Donald Brian Wood, a teacher at McGavock High School, was removed from school and placed on leave after the incident during class on Friday.

Leanne Smith, Wood’s sister, said Monday her brother is being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after what she called a nervous break-down. She said he acted “irrationally” and that he regrets the incident.

A video posted on YouTube titled “Crazy Teacher goes off at mcgavock” shows a teacher telling the students to “shut up,” then flipping over furniture in the room.

1,370 patients visitfree RAM med clinic

BRISTOL (AP) — The Remote Area Medical Clinic in Bristol this weekend provided free medical care to about 1,370 people, but still more people had hoped to get help and were turned away.

People waited for hours for their chance to receive care at the clinic, held at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

A total of 865 volunteers from 18 states turned out to provide the free medical, dental and optical care, but RAM founder Stan Brock said that still was not enough to meet the demand.

According to the Bristol Herald Courier, Brock said the clinic needs more doctor volunteers and about three times as many dentists as it had this weekend.

RAM officials say 90 percent of the people they see need dental work. About 50 percent need glasses.

Pilot injured when ultralight craft falls

JEFFERSON CITY. (AP) — An ultralight aircraft has come down hard behind a school in Jefferson City, injuring the pilot.

The pilot was taken to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville after the crash Monday morning behind Jefferson Middle School.

No one on the ground was hurt and officials didn’t immediately release the pilot’s name.

Obama touts $50Btransportation plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is pushing a $50 billion plan to upgrade the nation’s transporta-tion networks and create jobs, bringing governors and mayors to the White House to help him make the case.

Obama said Monday that clogged roads and crumbling infrastructure are costing American lives, eroding produc-tivity and hindering economic growth. He spoke from the Rose Garden after meeting with state and local officials and Cabinet officials, who stood behind him for his comments.

The timing of his announcement comes as the public sector slashed 159,000 jobs in September, including the largest cuts by local governments in 28 years. Obama is eager to show con-stant attention to the hurting economy, especially ahead of the Nov. 2 congres-sional elections.

Miner evacuationto begin tonight

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) — The engineer leading Chilean rescue efforts says his team has successfully tested a rescue capsule nearly all the way down to where the miners are trapped.

Andres Sougarett says the empty cap-sule descended 2,000 feet, just 46 feet short of the chamber where 33 miners have been trapped since an Aug. 5 col-lapse.

He said all would be in place at mid-night tonight to begin the rescue.

Mining Minister Laurence Golborne told reporters Monday that the capsule performed very well in the hole — that it didn’t even loosen any dust. He did not say why the capsule did not go to the bot-tom.

The steel capsule was lowered by winch into the hole after its top 295 feet (90 meters) were encased in tubing.

Dogs smell remains at missing girl’s house

HICKORY, N.C. (AP) — A search war-rant says police dogs detected the smell of human remains on two cars at the house where a missing North Carolina girl lives.

The document filed Monday didn’t indicate that police found any remains in their search, which was conducted the previous night.

Ten-year-old Zahra Clare Baker was reported missing over the weekend, but police say they’re not sure if anyone out-side her home has seen her in weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Google Inc. is road-testing cars that steer, stop and start without a human driver, the company says.

The goal is to “help prevent traffic acci-dents, free up people’s time and reduce carbon emissions” through ride sharing and “the new ’highway trains of tomor-row,”’ project leader Sebastian Thrun wrote Saturday on Google’s corporate blog.

The cars are never unmanned, Thrun wrote. He said a backup driver is always behind the wheel to monitor the soft-ware.

It’s not the first signal that Google wants to change how people get from place to place. In a speech Sept. 29 at the TechCrunch “Disrupt” conference, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said “your car should drive itself. It just makes sense.”

“It’s a bug that cars were invented before computers,” Schmidt said.

The cars have traveled a total of 140,000 miles on major California roads without much human intervention, according to Google’s corporate blog.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based tech-nology giant has sent seven test cars a total of 1,000 miles without a human touching the controls at all, the New York Times

reported. The newspaper published a report on the cars earlier Sunday.

The cars know speed limits, traffic pat-terns and road maps, Thrun’s posting says. They use video cameras, radar sensors and lasers to detect other cars.

Driving between Northern California and Southern California, the cars have navigat-ed San Francisco’s curvy Lombard Street, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Boulevard and the cliff-hugging Pacific Coast Highway, the blog says.

Engineers consider the cars safer because they react more quickly than humans, the New York Times said. It said Google has not revealed how it hopes to profit from the research.

The company is flush with cash, though, and pushing numerous projects such as the cars that are unrelated to its core business, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif.

“The word ’focus’ is a word Google has never learned,” Enderle said, pointing to projects involving electricity distribution, vehicle design and artificial intelligence. He said cars that can drive themselves would allow commuters more time to surf the web, something Google would encour-age.

■ Joan Sutherland GENEVA (AP) — Joan

Sutherland, a former small town secretarial school student whose mastery of tone, astonish-ing range and vocal c o n t r o l vaulted her into the top e c h e l o n s of opera, has died at 83 after a four-d e c a d e career that won her praise as the suc-cessor to legend Maria Callas.

Nicknamed “La Stupenda” — the Stupendous One — by her fans after a fantastic 1960 performance of Handel’s Alcina and lauded by Luciano Pavarotti as “the voice of the century,” she died Sunday at her home near Geneva, after what her family described as a long illness.

And it was not only Italian fans who were entranced. For Germans, she was the “Koloraturawunder .” English-speaking opera-goers called her “The Incomparable” for her mastery of the coloratu-ra — the vocal ability to effortlessly sing difficult trills and rapid passages in high registers.

“We recognize an institution is not going to be perfect on graduation and completion rates. But

at the same time, we know they can do better than they’re doing. And if you place the finan-cial rewards around completion, then you will

motivate that.”— eric Fingerhut, chancellor of the ohio board of

regents, on a report that students who drop out of col-lege after one year are costing taxpayers billions of dol-

lars annually

“They wear these little Speedos and they grind against each other and it’s just a terrible thing. Why would you bring your children to that?”

“Everyone’s quick to blame the alien.” — Aeschylus, Greek poet and dramatist (524 B.C.?-456 B.C.?).

NASHVILLE (AP) — Gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam will report third quarter contribu-tions of $3.15 million plus an injection of $2.8 mil-lion of his own money, the Republican’s cam-paign told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The reporting period straddles the Aug. 5 pri-mary. The campaign didn’t immediately have a breakdown of how much of the money was con-tributed before or since Haslam won the GOP nomination, and didn’t

have a final figure on how much cash remained on hand.

Haslam captured 47 percent of the vote in the spirited GOP primary, compared with U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp’s 29 percent and state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey’s 22 percent. Spokesman David Smith said Haslam wasn’t hesi-tant about tapping his personal wealth.

“We had a contentious primary, and Bill always maintained that he would put in what he deemed necessary to get his mes-

sage out,” Smith said.Haslam had given $1.45

million to his bid through earlier reports, meaning his total personal con-tributions have reached about $4.25 million. The campaign has since paid back about $760,000, said Smith.

Haslam was president of the family-founded Pilot truck stop chain before he was elected Knoxville mayor in 2003. His rivals charged that that they could never match Haslam’s personal wealth, and that he was

trying to buy the election.Smith noted that the

third quarter contribu-tions bring Haslam’s totals to $12.5 million from 10,500 outside donors since he joined the race in January 2009 — considerably more than any other candidate seeking to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen.

A spokesman for Democratic nominee Mike McWherter did not immediately return a mes-sage seeking comment on Sunday afternoon.

A7 tuesday

I just saw “The Social Network,” which debuted in first place over the weekend.

Well, gee, who would have thought that Aaron Sorkin would create the most sexist movie ever?

The brainiac political screenwriter, who developed “The West Wing” TV series, even beats out Mel Gibson as cre-ator of the most woman-free character zone in film history. Let’s admit it, for all his talents, Mel has a problem seeing women except through the eyes of a man.

But the women of, say, “Apocalypto” are feminist icons compared to the way the women of Harvard are depicted in “The Social Network.”

“The Social Network” is the story of Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook with his college buddy, Eduardo Saverin. It is based on an unauthorized biography, “The Accidental Billionaires.” In the movie, Mark founded Facebook in order to get the attention of a girl who dumps him, and to get back at Harvard bluebloods who insult him and also because, well, he wants to be cool.

In the movie Mark has just one real friend, and in the end he betrays that friend, cheating him out of his share of the company they founded together, under the tutelage of hip-ster nerd-boy genius, Sean Parker (founder of Napster), played by Justin Timberlake.

Mark’s realization of his own wrong-doing is grippingly and subtly por-trayed by Sorkin and colleagues. In the end, bluntly told that no jury is going to like him, recognizing that Eduardo did indeed help found the company, and that ultimately the payout of gazil-lions is “just a speeding ticket” to the world’s youngest billionaire, the movie Mark settles the lawsuit and restores Eduardo’s title as Facebook co-found-er. He is last shown, aching to “friend” the young woman who dumped him.

The real-life Mark, just 26 this year, seems touchy about his reputation, especially around the subject of women. Just a few days before the movie open-ing, he suddenly donated $100 million to Newark, N.J., schools. His official biographer, David Kirkpatrick, hastens to assure us that far from being a loner pining for the first girl who dumped him, in real life Mark has been liv-ing for the last five years or so with a woman named Priscilla Chan.

(Apparently the movie’s portrayal of Zuckerberg and Saverin having a “thing” for Asian girls isn’t totally off the mark. At the Jewish fraternity at Harvard, the movie Eduardo and Mark oogle a group of Asian coeds, and Eduardo exclaims that it’s no wonder they both like Asian girls: “They’re hot, they’re smart, and they’re not Jewish!” Self-hating anti-semitic misogyny. Cool hat trick, right?)

The women at Harvard in “The Social Network,” Asian as well as other abundantly represented ethnic groups, do nothing but drink, strip off their clothes, and kiss each other in a desperate attempt to get the men to notice they are alive. With sex ratios at American colleges trending 60 percent female, I’m told this is not far off the mark for how many college women behave, but surely not this desperately and with an utter lack of any sense of their sexual value?

Surely there are some women around Harvard doing something of interest other than dropping their bras for men and giggling drunkenly. It would have been nice to have a glimpse.

In Sorkin’s movie there are fathers, but no mothers. Male professors, administrators, entrepreneurs and angel investors, but no women in these roles. While the men code, underage girls giggle and flirt and drink and snort and vomit and strip.

This is hardly Mark Zuckerberg’s fault, but what is Aaron Sorkin’s excuse?

Denying patients pain medicationmay force them to commit crimesEditor:

For most of my 66 years, I have shown major interest in the law; from a legal aide to an emergency services officer on NYPD and an EMT. I have never encountered morphine as a street drug until Sept. 24.

The main headline of that day’s Mountain Press reported the arrests of nine people in a major county sweep by the Sheriff’s Office of drug suspects, three of whom dealt in morphine. While taking Murfreesboro Police Department’s Citizen Police Academy three years ago, I asked one senior officer about mor-phine because I was taking 100mg twice a day for a back injury. Even he had not encountered morphine on the street, stating the more popular drugs as far overshadowing.

So why has morphine suddenly become so popular? Simply because our local doctors apparently are boycotting the drug. Two pain doctors have told me to undergo a “procedure” or get lost.

When you have no faith in a doctor and don’t even know the person, it is very stupid to allow any invasion of the spine, by scalpel or needle.

When that same doctor tells you to do it his way or the highway, any trust must go out the door.

I have not been able to get any pain medicine for my injured spine since 38 pills on July 27 at 80mg, just about one-third my 11-year dos-age. When a doctor forces a patient to suffer immobilizing pain when a viable alternative (morphine) is available, that is a clear violation of his Hippocratic oath: “First do no harm.”

Today, I am faced with violating the law for the first time in my life or suffering the pain of withdrawal and a damaged spine; damage that forced me to collect my Medicare far too early. I fell 16 feet onto a sharp rock in 1991 and slowly grew to the 100mg level of morphine in 2000. With a legal dosage of 200mg a day, two local doctors and two so-called pain clinics have forced me into one Satanic corner without the slightest known reason. I don’t know about you, but I consider that harmful.

I can’t help but wonder how much of your tax money is supporting prisoners who were forced to violate the law when their legal drugs were not available, and where the street dealers got their morphine. Iran, maybe?

It was fitting to have Dolly Parton on hand over the weekend as the Grand Ole Opry celebrated its 85th birthday. Parton’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” was an appropriate tribute to a place that has become a musical and cultural legend, a touchstone for what country music has come to mean to so many people.

The party on Saturday night featured performances by Parton, Taylor Swift and Trace Adkins. It started Friday, when Crystal Gayle, Jimmy Wayne and Roy Clark performed.

On Saturday there was a picnic on the plaza of the Opry House with free live music.

It’s important to remember that all this came just a few months after the Opry

building was flooded. The stage sat under four feet of water in early May. A resto-ration project cleaned the building and replaced the stage, dressing rooms and audience seating.

“They’ve done a wonderful job revamp-ing it, and it’s even better than it was,” Parton said. She sang three songs, includ-ing “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.”

The Opry began on the night of Nov. 28, 1925, when an announcer on WSM introduced fiddle player Uncle Jimmy Thompson as the first performer on a new show called “The WSM Barn Dance.” The show is still going strong. It has launched many careers and led Nashville to become Music City. Early Opry

performers such as Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Ernest Tubb and Bill Monroe became legends at Ryman Auditorium.

The Opry left the Ryman on March 15, 1974. The next night, President Nixon joined Acuff at the Grand Ole Opry House. An eight-foot circle of hardwood was taken from the Ryman and placed center stage at the Opry House.

Thousands of people attend shows every year, while millions tune in to 650 WSM, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, syndi-cated radio, or opry.com.

Sevier County is proud of its associa-tion with the Grand Ole Opry and its con-tribution to the mystique with our own Dolly Parton. Let’s hope we’re all around for the centennial celebration in 2025.

SEVIERVILLE — The dream is still alive.

The Sevier County High School Smoky Bearettes volleyball team’s goal of earning their first-ever region tournament berth and possibly a district tournament championship remains achievable after SCHS (24-9) swept visiting District 2-AAA rival Cherokee Lady Chiefs 25-13, 25-19 and 25-12 on the opening round of the District 2-AAA Tournament on Monday night in Sevierville.

Monday’s win advances Sevier County past the single-elimina-tion round of the tournament, and the Purple-and-White ladies are now guaranteed at least two more matches this season.

The Bearettes are shooting for a top-two finish in the district tour-nament in order to achieve the programs’ first region tournament contest. They would rather earn the outright district title, however, in order to get one more home game this season. Sevier County is 14-0 at home this year.

“We’d like to have another home match,” said SCHS coach Billy Ward, following Monday’s win.

But in order to achieve the dream, the SCHS ladies must stay as aggressive as they have been all year.

“When we stay aggressive, aggressive mistakes I can live with,” said Ward. “The soft mis-takes, the mental mistakes, that’s what we have to avoid in order to win at this time of the year. You’ve got to be able to take your chances and not worry about what the other team does so much.”

The Bearettes will play the win-ner of either Morristown East or Jefferson County 6:45 p.m. tonight at Morristown West High School, the No. 1 overall team in

District 2-AAA.“We’ve seen all these teams

(in the district) a lot this year, seen them all twice,” said Ward. “Jefferson County and Morristown East are both playing hot right at the end (of the regular season), and that’s the time of the year you want to be playing your best.

“So, hopefully, we’ll come out and take care of what Sevier County does. Our girls have played consistent ..., and hopefully that can transfer from all year long into the tournament.”

Sevier County’s Hailey Tackett led the Bearettes to victory on Monday night, finishing the match with 22 digs, 16 points, 15 kills and five aces. Kaycee Dixon also came up huge in the win with 24 assists, eight digs and three aces.

“We had a couple of shady spots, but we were able to regroup and take a deep breath,” said Ward about Monday’s match with Cherokee. “I thought the difference was that we outserved them, and our girls did a good

job of being aggressive with their serves.”

SCHS assistant coach Jill Kroll was in charge of calling the Bearettes serves on Monday night, and she decided to turn Hailey Tackett loose for seven-straight points coming on powerful jump serves, running the final match to 24-10 before the Cherokee team could answer with a defensive stop.

The move not only allowed the Bearettes to finish the opening round in a flash, it also offered a source of intimidation for the other district programs in the stands watching the match.

“When the score is going your way, you feel a little more ener-gized,” said Ward. “Coach Kroll calls all our serves for us, and she did a great job for us. (Coach Kroll) gave (Hailey) a chance to let the good crowd here see what we’re capable of. Hopefully they took notice that we can bring a lot of different types of serves, and that can keep them off balance.”

SCHS sweeps county CC meet

By JASON DAVISSports Editor

SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Cross Country Championships featured some great dis-plays of athletic ability and also some first-class sportsmanship Monday afternoon at City Park in Sevierville.

While the Bears and Bearettes swept the team competitions, it wasn’t an all Purple and White fin-ish in the individual hon-ors.

Seymour senior Luke Hall, who’s also one of the top wrestlers in the state, earned the title of county boys individual champi-on, after an intense back-and-forth battle with Sevier County sophomore Patrick Hanlon.

Hall credited his top competitor’s integrity post-race, however, in helping him earn the vic-tory.

The course, which fea-tured a somewhat compli-cated route, caused some issues for a few competi-tors.

“Your teammate did a good act,” Hall told anoth-er of the Smoky Bears fol-lowing the race. “We were right there next to each other, and I didn’t know (the course), so I started going off this way, because I didn’t know.

(Once I got corrected) he slowed down a little bit until we got even again — that was all sportsman-ship on his part — all sportsmanship.”

With Hall graduating after this season, Hanlon will be the odds-on favor-ite for the 2011 county race.

In girls action, Bearette Hannah Pelham ran away from the field to capture her individual champion-ship.

Dear Annie: My won-derful boyfriend of two years recently told me he has rape fantasies -- both of being the rapist and of being raped. He said that, for obvious reasons, it’s not something he talks about. But things are getting really seri-ous between us, and he doesn’t want to keep any secrets hidden from me.

I am fairly open-minded, but this seems strange, and I’m not comfortable discussing it with my friends or fam-ily. I am part of several Internet communities, however, and asked my chat buddies what they thought.

Many of them said it was a perfectly normal “kink,” and that fantasy isn’t the same as real-ity. It doesn’t mean he would ever do it. Is that true? My boyfriend is a wonderful guy, and I love him, but I’d be lying if I said this revelation didn’t set me on edge a bit. When he first told me, I actually checked the national sex offender registry, but he wasn’t on it.

Annie, I just need some reassurance. Should I be worried about this, or has my life been more sheltered than I thought? -- Can’t Help Being Concerned

Dear Can’t Help: Try not to overreact. Rape fantasies are fairly common, even among men, and they are actu-ally about dominance and submission. Your boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt you. He may simply get turned on by being totally in charge or being completely overtaken. He should not force you into anything, but if you are

willing to role-play with him, it could add excite-ment to your love life. The choice is yours.

Dear Annie: I have a situation that has me up a tree. Whenever my wife and I have a family get-together, one of our grown sons will show up with extra kids. I have begged him to call first, but he just shows up. When they do ask if their child can bring a friend, we usually say OK.

We have a large fam-ily, and it’s a lot of cook-ing. The last time we had the family over, our oldest son came with one of his kid’s friends, and when I said he should have asked, he got angry and took his family and walked out. Now he says I need to apologize. I think I have the right to have only family over if that is what my wife and I want. It’s still our home.

I have tried to talk to him, but he won’t return my calls. If you say I need to apologize, I will. -- Lost for Words

Dear Lost: You don’t need to apologize. This is your home, and your son should ask before bring-ing extra people over, even children.

Now decide how important it is to you, because your son sounds too stubborn and self-ish to admit he’s wrong. Sometimes, it helps maintain a good relation-ship to say you are sorry even when you are not

at fault. We recommend doing that and explaining to your son how much you would appreciate it if he would let you know in advance when he is planning to bring a guest. And ask your wife to back you up.

Dear Annie: I did not agree with your answer to “Choking in S.W. Washington,” whose neighbors smoke on their porch and it blows into their home. Why does she have the right to tell someone where they can smoke on their own prop-erty? I cannot believe anyone would have the nerve to approach a neighbor about this. If the smoke is so bad, they should stop letting their children play with the neighbors’ kids. -- Upset in Florida

Dear Florida: Although people are entitled to smoke on their own property, when it starts infiltrating their neighbors’ homes, it becomes secondhand smoke, which is linked to allergies, asthma and cancer. It is not unrea-sonable to request that they blow in another direction. But we also recommend fans.
