SEVIERVILLE — An official of Walters State Community College says the school has the oppor-tunity to build an $8 mil-lion addition at the Sevier County campus with the help of state money, though he concedes there are no specific plans yet what the 40,000-square-foot build-ing would house.
Jack Campbell, president emeritus of Walters State, told officials in Pigeon Forge that WSCC has “an unprec-edented opportunity to get a state-funded building.” However, the college must provide a 15 percent match, or $1.2 million, by the end of the month.
“We only got the letter telling the criteria, telling we had to have this match, last week,” Campbell told the City Commission. “That puts us on a very tight time-line.”
To help meet the require-ment, WSCC leaders are petitioning four local gov-ernments to provide a total of $1 million, hoping the rest will come from private donations. Campbell said he is seeking $200,000 each from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, while he wants the county to pro-vide $400,000.
“We’re very pleased we have this opportunity,” Campbell said. “They have never done this before and why they’re doing it now I don’t know.”
Acknowledging these are tough times, Campbell said the allotments don’t have to be paid now. Rather, they can be included in next year’s budgets, though the school must have commit-ments for all the cash before Oct. 30, when its proposal must be submitted to state officials. The money would only be needed if the award is approved in December and before the likely sum-mer 2011 start of construc-tion.
Further, Campbell said he’s confident local officials and residents will support the effort, pointing out those same folks built the campus in Sevierville without help from other sources.
“You’ve supported us every step of the way. This truly is your cam-pus,” Campbell said. The request comes just over a year after two new build-ings opened on the campus. The current enrollment in Sevierville is 1,970 students, which Campbell said means the school needs more room.
“Our Sevier County cam-pus here has grown rapid-ly,” Campbell said. “I have told several people recently that one of these days, this

SEVIERVILLE — Clint Carnley believes it was an explosion in an elec-trical box that caused the Tuesday morning fire that sent flames licking through the restaurant that bears his name, leaving nothing but part of the front wall where melting signs dripped slow-ly onto the grass below.
Clint’s BBQ and Country Cookin restaurant was a total loss by just after sun-rise, with fire officials saying the wooden structure didn’t stand a chance against the blaze. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident.
After four years in busi-ness, Carnley said he was finally starting to “break even” on the bills for the res-taurant. As he stood watch-ing firefighters dump hun-dreds of gallons of water on hot spots in the pile of rub-ble, Carnley vowed the bar-becue eatery that became a community gathering house will return.
“We’re going to rebuild. We’re not going to let this thing lick us,” he said. “I’m not giving up. I’m planning to rebuild.”
Emergency responders were alerted to the fire at 7:38 a.m., and fire crews arrived to find the build-ing already considerably engulfed in flames.
“The firefighters found the building to be about 30 percent involved by the time they arrived,” Jay Breeden, Sevier County Sheriff’s Department fire inspector, said. “There were a total of five county fire departments called out here and the Sevierville Fire Department

SEVIERVILLE — The new club-house for the newly renamed Sevierville Golf Club is not yet open, as contractors work to com-plete a punch list that was longer than first anticipated.
City Administrator Steve Hendrix told the Public Building Authority they don’t have a move-in date for the new facility, although the con-tractors are down to the punch list. That typically means that work is largely finished, and officials are looking for small flaws that need to be addressed before final pay-ments are made.
It’s the latest setback for a proj-ect that’s seen plenty. Hendrix said there were some delays and issues that city officials weren’t aware of until the end of construction. Most of them came from a change to the
slope of a roof. While that change was announced several years ago, under the supervision of previous City Administrator Doug Bishop, some subcontractors apparently were not notified of the change and the change was not reflected in plans given to the subcontrac-tors, Hendrix said.
It especially affected the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning units. “I feel sorry for the (HVAC) subcontractors,” Hendrix said. “They had to build to fit rather than look at a set of plans.”
The PBA terminated its contract with the original architectural firm that designed the clubhouse, and signed a nondisclosure agree-ment at that time.
There were additional issues discovered as part of the walk-through of the building, and they have found more as work has con-tinued, Hendrix said.
While the problems have caused delays, Hendrix said they haven’t had much of an impact on the cost because the contractors have stepped up and worked with the city to address the matters with-out adding cost when possible.
Hendrix reviewed the matter during Monday’s regular meeting of the Public Building Authority.
He also pointed out some num-bers that reflect the continu-ing improvement at the Events Center.
In the past fiscal year, the Events Center reduced its costs by $280,000 and added new open dates by dropping some shows, while increasing attendance by 25,000, he said.
“The events center has improved every year it’s been in business,” he said.

KNOXVILLE (AP) — The final candidates for the presidency of the University of Tennessee are meting with faculty on Tuesday.
But some faculty mem-bers are dismayed that all five finalists are white men and they were questioned about how they would pro-mote diversity throughout the system.
“Our jaws dropped when we saw the final pool, and people were shocked over it, quite frankly,” Associate Professor Candace White said. “This is 2010 and I just can’t believe that the search firm just couldn’t find any more qualified diverse candidates in the whole United States.”
Faculty Senate President Joan Heminway said she has been hearing from concerned colleagues who question why women and minorities were not includ-ed among the hopefuls.
“People were questioning whether there were more qualified women in the pool who had been passed on,” she said.
University spokesman Hank Dye says UT made a broad effort to make certain everyone, including minori-ty persons in high positions, knew about the UT job.
The topic of diversity came up during questions posed to some of the can-didates by a search com-mittee on Tuesday.
“I try to live a life that values diversity,” said for-mer dean of students Jerry Askew. “I am a member of a club that I would not join until they had more members of diverse back-grounds.”

GATLINBURG — The United Way of Sevier County and city of Gatlinburg will hold a tail-gate luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Mills Park.
The box lunch includes barbecued pork, two sides, dessert and drink for $7. The tailgate party is being coordinated by tourism official Jon Elder, Police Chief Randy Brackins and
Fire Chief Greg Miller, assisted by Employee Recognition Board mem-bers.
Tickets are available at the police and fire depart-ments. Takeout boxes will be available.
The event is a fundraiser for the city’s campaign for the United Way, which hopes to raise $500,000 this year. United Way pro-vides funding to 21 Sevier County agencies such as
the Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic and the Sevier County Volunteer Rescue Squad.
All the money raised directly serves the people of Sevier County.
Sevier County campus may be bigger than the one over in Morristown.”
While noting the growth, Campbell indicated there have been no firm decisions on what would go into a new building. Among the possibilities discussed are expanding the library, add-ing computers for student use, constructing labs for various classes and giving the school its first large lec-ture hall, which could also serve as a venue for perfor-mances.
Despite that somewhat vague plan, local officials seem ready to get behind the request. Members of the Pigeon Forge City Commission praised the effort, with Mayor Keith Whaley pointing out every additional offering at the local campus means more students staying here to learn rather than going to Morristown. Vice Mayor Kevin McClure, who attended WSCC, said he understands the need, pointing out the school was already crowded when he attended sev-eral years ago.
“I’m excited for you guys,” Commissioner David Wear added. “I think it’s a great oppor-tunity for the commu-nity.”
Those endorsements came about four months after city officials wran-gled over where they would make cuts to cover a nearly $3 million bud-
get shortfall.Likewise, the request
seems to be cruising toward an easy approval among county govern-ment leaders. The County Commission’s Education Committee voted unani-mously Monday to send the request on to the full commission.
County Mayor Larry Waters thinks Campbell’s arguments about growing enrollment helped push the group to go along with the plan.
“It’s not often you get an opportunity like this and they are in need of another building out there,” Waters said. “This was an oppor-tunity for Walters State to fill a need with basically mostly state funds.”
Waters agreed the tim-ing makes things tough for officials, with the county also facing a budget crunch. However, he reiterated that this kind of offer doesn’t
come along often and, in fact, has never come for the local campus.
“This is the only school in the state that doesn’t have a single state dollar invested in the campus,” Waters said. “It is a tough budget time, but opportunities like this don’t come up.“
Waters said the county will likely split the alloca-tion between the current budget year and the next. While the money isn’t built into the financial plans for fiscal year 2010-11, Waters said he’s confident the county can cover it.
“We did not anticipate an increase in sales tax revenues when we created the budget for this year,” Waters said. “Our sales tax, for the last few months, has been up. We’re anticipat-ing that will allow us to cover that $200,000 for this year.”

provided its aerial truck. We determined it started in a basement area where there is some storage and an apartment.”
Breeden pointed out the restaurant was a gathering place for the community largely because of Carnley.
“Everybody knows Clint. He’s just a great guy,” Breeden said. “This is a very well-known establishment in Sevier County and it’s a sad day to see this happen.”
Carnley was actually in the building — which also hous-es his wife’s real estate busi-ness Homes “R” Us Realty and his carpet cleaning business — only moments before the fire broke out. A cook, who arrived early to meet the delivery truck that brings in food each Tuesday, alerted Carnley to the blaze after the business owner left to fill up a company van with gas.
“I had just had break-fast and taken a nap here. I walked out right by that electrical box and everything was fine,” Carnley said. “I was gone maybe five min-utes before my cook called and said the building was on fire and he didn’t know what happened. He heard a big pop from the basement.”
When Carnley returned a few minutes later, he found the flames already filling the basement and saw that a garage door near the electri-cal boxes had already col-lapsed.
“It had to be some type of explosion,” Carnley said. “I’m just so thankful for all these firefighters who have come out here and battled this. I just can’t say that enough.”
Carnley was besieged by folks who came to him throughout the morning, offering him embraces and pats on the back. He gave out his own handshakes to a line of firefighters taking a break.
Known for having a big heart, Carnley promised an annual Christmas dinner he throws for children in the Salvation Army’s local pro-grams will go on, though at a different location. And, even as he faced he loss of the business he spent years building, Carnley’s mind wasn’t on his own troubles.
“I’ve got 23 employees here and they’re all just like family to me,” he said. “I’m going to try my best to help each one of them find jobs while we’re closed. When we reopen, hopefully in about eight or nine months, I hope they’ll come back.”
From the sound of things, they’ll be back just like the customers. Several folks from both those groups gath-ered in huddles on Newport Highway, which was closed throughout the morning to allow room for the emer-gency vehicles. They shared memories of the place and hopes that everything would
be back to normal there soon.
“I’ve eaten here enough to own stock in the place,” Parkway Church of God Pastor Phillip Morris said with a laugh. “This is a place that’s going to be tough to replace. I hope he can rebuild it. This was really a gathering ground for the people of Sevier County. I think the reason everybody is so emotional about it is it felt like home to be here.”
Morris said he joked with Carnley that the police who shut off the area might have to return in riot gear if he should decide not rebuild the restaurant. He also offered a little friendly advice to the man who always greeted him, like everyone else, with the line, “Hey kids.”
“I told him they’re just going to have to take it one day at a time for now,” Morris said. “They’re just going to have to start from scratch on both their busi-nesses.”
Just down the road from
Morris, John and Diane Crow watched as the flames claimed the place they regularly dined and where John Crow played his upright bass twice a week with Carnley. They stood watching the flames, seemingly transfixed, joined by daughter Diane Crow who was a waitress at Clint’s.
John Crow said it was some of his daughter’s co-workers he was most wor-ried about Tuesday. Among them are single mothers who depended on the pay-check the restaurant pro-vided and others for whom losing the restaurant meant real struggles ahead for their families.
“It’s just devastating. There are no words to describe it,” Crow said. “We’re just out here trying to process it all. It’s really going to hurt some of these folks.”
Still, Crow said he believes the business will be back up and running, agreeing Carnley, who has battled a

When Conan O’Brien debuts his new, late night talk show on TBS he’ll have an old friend and colleague by his side.
A n d y R i c h t e r will serve as side-kick on “Conan.”
Richter said he’s “thril led” to be work-ing with O’Brien and he’s most exited about “getting out of the house again.”
O’Brien added, “This decision was made with-out my authority. ... I will get to the bottom of this.”
Richter and O’Brien first joined forces in 1993 on NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” Richter was also tapped to appear with O’Brien on “The Tonight Show.”

MEMPHIS (AP) — There has been a bum-per crop of African pen-guins at the Memphis Zoo, where five balls of furry gray feathers have hatched in recent weeks, the most at the zoo since it began its breeding pro-gram in 1990.
“We had almost 100 percent hatching, with one chick that did not hatch,” said Carol Hesch, assistant curator. “So it’s a boom year for us.”
As a member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ Species
Survival Program, the Memphis Zoo is a sig-nificant contributor to the captive African pen-guin population in North America, said Steve Sarro, SSP coordinator.
“Memphis has been instrumental in working with the African penguin SSP to fulfill our goals,” Sarro said.
African penguins were added to the endangered species list this year. They live off the southern tip of Africa. Adults are 18-24 inches tall and weigh between 6 and 8 pounds.
“There are about 60,000 in the wild right now and the popula-tion is decreasing,” said Sarro, director of animal programs at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh.
The birds have been the victims of lost habitat from oil spills, pollution, commercial fishing and human disturbances like egg collecting, he said.
The zoo has 21 adult African penguins.
“It’s fairly easy to breed (the penguins), but it’s sometimes difficult to get new parents set up,”
Hesch said.After the pairs produce
the eggs, the eggs are incubated until it’s nearly time to hatch. The eggs are then given back to the parents, who will feed the new chicks regurgitated food, a job that’s easier for them than for the keepers, Hesch said.
After about three weeks, when the chicks are large enough to swal-low silverside minnows whole, they’re moved to the hatchery to be fed by keepers three or four times a day.

A7 OPINION WED.
In 1976, former California Gov. Ronald Reagan challenged President Gerald Ford for the GOP presidential nomination.
Running to the conservative right of Ford, Reagan in a speech to an overflow crowd at a Florida rally used a regional term of racial disrespect in explaining the outrage of working people in line at a supermar-ket when they saw “a strapping young buck” using food stamps to buy T-bone steaks.
Reagan, who I can attest was free of racial prejudice in his personal life, nev-ertheless benefited politically by resorting to the racial shorthand and stereotypes of U.S. politics.
Proving once again that politics is the most imitative of human arts, former Republican House Speaker and possible 2012 Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich urged GOP candidates to frame the voters’ 2010 choice between “the Republican Party of paychecks” versus “the Democratic Party of food stamps.” (Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.)
Forget the cruel indifference shown in this cheap bumper-sticker sloganeering toward American families out of work and out of luck with hungry children to feed. To belittle and disparage our neighbors and fellow citizens who in this national economic catastrophe need a helping hand is both unjust and fundamentally un-Christian.
But this is the same Gingrich who, just last month, praised as the “most pro-found insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama” the bizarre assertion that the president (undoubtedly indoctrinated by his father, who deserted his family when he, Barack, was 2 years old) may well follow a “Kenyan, anti-colo-nial” worldview.
Let us ask a simple question: What possible Republican primary voting bloc might the “Kenyan, anti-colonial” thesis provide most aid and comfort to? You guessed it: Newt was using code language to court the “Birthers” -- the screwball caucus that insists, against all logic, that Obama was the agent of a master conspir-acy to capture the White House when he was born in Indonesia, Kenya, Antarctica or, maybe, France.
Election season brings out the best in Gingrich. During the 1994 campaign, which would result in his becoming a national figure and House speaker, Susan Smith, a 23-year-old single mom of Union, S.C., told the police that her car -- with her two sons, Michael, age 3, and Alexander, just 1 -- had been taken by a black man.
Tearfully, she appealed over television to a rapt national audience for the safe return of her two little boys. Finally, Smith confessed that she, herself, had let her two little boys drown by strapping them in their seats and rolling their car into Long Lake.
For most American, this was an unbelievable human tragedy. For Newt Gingrich, it was an irresistible political opening. Here was Newt Gingrich’s reac-tion: “I think the mother killing her two children in South Carolina vividly reminds every American how sick the society is getting and how much we need to change things. The only way to change things is to vote Republican.” After the “Democratic Party of food stamps “ formulation, I asked Obama’s chief campaign strategist and longtime observer of Gingrich, David Plouffe, for his reaction. Showing far more charity than I have been able to muster, Plouffe with a tinge of regret said, “It’s sad to see because buried deep beneath him somewhere must still be a serious person.”
But he did not underestimate the ex-speaker’s political shrewdness, argu-ing that the pre-eminence within the Republican Party of figures like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and (Delaware Senate nominee) Christine O’Donnell -- and his own 2012 ambitions -- are “why he’s say-ing those crazy things.”
Whatever his motivations, Gingrich as of today is the most reckless man in American politics.

Article reports on pain, despairby many women who had abortionsEditor:
“Women are hard-wired for relationships — and a woman’s relation-ship to her baby is one of the most powerful of all, whether she realizes it or not. The hard-wiring of the brain may explain many women’s disturb-ing post-abortion feelings,” write Evelyn Birge Vitz and Paul C. Vitz in an article published in the Sept. 20 issue of Public Discourse.
Evelyn Vitz is professor of French and affiliated professor of compara-tive literature at New York University. Paul Vitz is professor emeritus of psychology at New York University and senior scholar at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences.
In the article the authors relate spending a semester with students studying the stories of women who shared their experiences after abor-tion. The authors found that “many of these women are in acute pain; some are almost totally incapacitated” by their post-abortion feelings.
“What is particularly striking,” they write, “is that most of the women who have these powerful emotional reactions to their abortion are stunned by them. They were not opposed to abortion; many were actively pro-choice. They were blind-sided by their own reaction. One woman lamented — and thousands of others echo her mystified anguish — ‘If this was the right decision, why do I feel so terrible?’”
Noting that “this disturbing phenomenon is so widespread, and found among women from varied backgrounds and different parts of the world,” the authors postulate that “it seems likely that the brain itself — in particular, the nature of women’s brains — may shed some
particularly useful light on this unexpected negative emotional reaction. Women experience emotions largely in relation to other people: what moves women most is relationships. Females are more personal and interpersonal than men.
“When responding to the stress of the abortion, she may well be drawn to nurturing, to ‘tending and befriending’ behavior that is characteris-tic of women. But one of the key persons she might have tended and befriended — her unborn child — she has just terminated. She therefore has no ready outlet to cope with this significant stress.
“Add to this already toxic mix the very power of the memories involved in most unwanted pregnancies and abortion experiences. All these expe-riences are likely to provide her with indelible memories. A woman may return to them and relive them over and over.”
The authors conclude that “though a woman can decide rationally to have an abortion … a terrible and shocking reaction sets in after their abortion. Often what lasts is not the relief or the power of the logical arguments: these may prove very short-lived. It is, rather, the failed, betrayed relationship between the woman and her fetus — now, in her mind, her dead baby — that has staying power.”
The authors call for a greater honesty from the medical profession toward women contemplating abortion “to prevent at least some women from having to experience this painful surprise.”
“Women need to be told the truth. They need to be prepared for what may be the consequences of this major life decision. This is what informed choice means.”

Yes, these are troubling times, and more people seem and feel disen-franchised than ever before. There is discontent across the land, as citi-zens who elect their leaders feel more and more isolated from them, and in disagreement with policies and laws being pushed in Washington and even Nashville.
It doesn’t have to be that way. The ballot box is a powerful weapon to wield. “The ballot is stronger than the bullet,” Lincoln famously once said. Sometimes it may not seem so, but it is.
Locally we have finished our county elections, but we still must elect our state legislators, governor and mem-bers of the U.S. House.
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe has opposition from Democrat Michael Edward Clark and independent candidate Kermit Steck in his bid for re-election in the 1st District. The district includes most of Sevier County.
Art Swann, the Republican nomi-nee to replace Joe McCord in the Tennessee House from District 8, faces Democrat Marvin Pratt. District 8 includes much of Seymour and Gatlinburg.
Rep. Richard Montgomery, first elected in 1996, seeks another term as District 12 House member. He is opposed by Democrat Gary Eichmann. Both are from Sevier County. Montgomery has indicated this probably will be his final term if re-elected.
The contest for governor has attracted 16 candidates, but only two of them appear to have a real chance: Republican Bill Haslam and Democrat Mike McWherter. Don’t like either
one? You have 14 others from which to choose.
Early voting continues through Oct. 23. In Sevierville you can vote early at the Voting Machine Warehouse, 11245 Dolly Parton Parkway (near the rescue squad and high school). Times are 10-6 weekdays and 9-noon Saturdays. In Seymour you can vote at the library from 11:30-6 on Oct. 14-15 and 21-22 and 11:30-2:30 Oct. 16 and 23.
The 10-day window gives you plenty of time to schedule your visit to the polling place. Waits are rare and usu-ally short. You vote early and miss the hassle of getting out on election day, when unforeseen emergencies or schedule changes can affect your abil-ity to cast a ballot.
All elections are important. So is this one. State and Washington lead-ership will be selected to represent Tennessee. Your input is needed and, frankly, expected. Don’t let democracy down.

KNOXVILLE — Sometimes you find out you are appreciated.
For Seymour’s Darrel Lauderdale, this past Saturday night was that time.
Lauderdale, former Seymour Eagles head wrestling coach and cur-rent wrestling tourna-ment and camp direc-tor for the Pigeon Forge Tigers, was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Tennessee Chapter, on Saturday night at the Crowne Plaza in Knoxville.
Lauderdale, who cur-rently serves as the Southeastern AAU wres-tling governor and wres-tling sport chair, was one of five men induct-ed into the HOF at the event. The others were former Greeneville High School wrestling coach David Hollowell, 14-year

BRISTOL — The field for the 28th-annual Arby’s Classic — known as one of the top-10 invita-tion tournaments in the country each year — has been set, and this year the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders basketball team will be among the participants in the event held Dec. 26 through 30 this year.
“It’s a great accomplishment for our school, and it’s a great oppor-tunity for our kids to see where we’re at nationally,” said G-P coach Raul Placeres. “It can only make us stronger for our season, especially for the district we play in.”
The Arby’s Classic will feature a lineup exclusively comprised of 20-plus win teams from a season ago, including Southwind High School of Memphis and Science Hill High School which boast the No. 1 and No. 2 rated players for the class of 2013, according to ESPN.com. In all, there will be 15 to 20 nationally ranked players playing in the event, including G-P senior Jose Agosto, who is rated among the top 100 for-wards in the nation by ESPN.
Other notable teams in the event include Mentor High School of Ohio, Dobyns-Bennett and Sullivan East. There will also be teams from Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Germany, the Bahamas and Alaska.
High School basketball season is quickly approaching, and the Highlanders will begin team practice on Nov. 1.
In other local basketball news, G-P’s Agosto, Morrease Barber and Jon McCroskey, Pigeon Forge’s Andy Barnett, and Seymour’s Skylar Brown and Logan Jenkins have recently com-pleted their Pilot High School Rocky Top League play.
Agosto and Barber both finished in the RTL’s top 20 scorers, out of a field of more than 130 prep players.
Both Agosto and Barber are being recruited by Jacksonville University, the University of Tennessee at Martin, Kennesaw State University of Georgia, along with four Division II schools in Florida and Adelphi University of New York. McCroskey is being recruited by 15 to 20 Division III and NAIA schools, and his 3.6 high school GPA coupled with a 25 on the ACT test have aided in that process.

ATLANTA (AP) — The San Francisco Giants cel-ebrated their first playoff win in eight years, then paused to honor the man whose career they had just ended.
As Bobby Cox came out of the Braves dugout to tip his cap to the chanting crowd one last time Monday night, the Giants stopped what they were doing on the other side of the field.
They began clapping, too, and tipped their caps in Cox’s direction. The Atlanta
manager waved back.Then the Giants headed
off to savor a 3-2 victory that sent them to the NL championship series for the first time since 2002. Twenty-one-year-old rook-ie Madison Bumgarner pitched six strong innings, late-season pickup Cody
Ross homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the sev-enth, and the San Francisco bullpen closed it out.
For Cox, there are no more games, only the real-ity of what he’s going to do
Dave Martin/AP
Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox waves to fans after a 3-2 loss to the san Francisco Giants in Game 4 of baseball’s National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants on Monday, Oct. 11, 2010, in Atlanta. Cox is retiring.

with the rest of his life with-out a group of ballplayers to manage.
He can put away that familiar No. 6 uniform for good.
“It doesn’t feel like the last time I’m putting it on, but it certainly is,” Cox said, his voice cracking. “I won’t put it on again.”
The series was tight and tense to the very last out. Giants closer Brian Wilson walked two in the ninth, giving the Braves one more shot to extend Cox’s career. But Omar Infante struck out attempting to check his swing on a nasty slider, and Melky Cabrera grounded out to third.
“This series had every-thing,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “Just the intensity and excitement of the series, it had to be thrill-ing for the fans. There was never an easy moment for Bobby or myself, because these games could have gone either way.”
Indeed, every game was decided by one run, but the Giants won three of them to take the best-of-five series and earn a shot against the two-time defending NL champion Phillies. Game 1 is Saturday at Philadelphia and features a marquee match-up: Tim Lincecum vs. Roy Halladay.
After the final out, the crowd of 44,532 chanted “Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!” to lure the retiring skipper out of the dugout for a well-de-served curtain call.
“Thank You, Bobby Cox,” the giant video board said as “Georgia On My Mind” played throughout the sta-dium.
“He’s the best manager for me that’s ever managed the game,” said Ross, who was acquired from Florida on a waiver claim in late August and paid big dividends in October. “I got a chance to play against him for five years. I love coming in here seeing him. I want to con-gratulate the Braves on a fine season and him on a great career.”
Atlanta starter Derek Lowe pitched no-hit ball into the sixth inning, and still it wasn’t enough. The Braves have yet to win at Turner Field with a series on the line, losing for the eighth straight time in that situation since the Ted opened to baseball in 1997. Cox won’t get a chance to end that streak, deciding more than a year ago to call it a career at age 69.
He heads for the rock-ing chair as the fourth win-ningest manager in baseball history (2,504 regular-sea-son victories) but one major shortcoming on a record that will surely be good enough to land him in Cooperstown. In 16 trips to the playoffs — one with Toronto, 15 with the Braves — Cox’s teams cap-tured only one World Series title, way back in 1995.
A Braves fan held up a sign pleading for the team to “Win It For Bobby,” but Ross and the Giants were in no mood for sentimentality. Not even with the comfort of know-ing that Game 5 would’ve been back in San Francisco, and Lincecum was all rested and ready to go after a two-hit, 14-strikeout shutout in Game 1.
Now, the Giants ace is lined up to face Halladay, who pitched a no-hitter last week in his postseason debut. The Phillies and Giants split six games this season.
“I can’t say enough about our pitching,” Ross said. “They keep us in it the whole time. We just need to score
a few.”The Braves couldn’t blame
this one on Brooks Conrad. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez made a couple of errors — including a high throw in the decisive seventh that got Ross to the plate with two outs. He delivered a bases-loaded single to left, driving in the tiebreaking run.
Gonzalez also got caught loafing down the line in the eighth after hitting a soft liner toward shortstop — violating one of Cox’s few rules (always play hard). Edgar Renteria dropped it, but still threw out Gonzalez easily at first.
Conrad didn’t start after making three errors in Game 3, which the Braves were one out from winning to take the lead in the series. The last of those let in the winning run of San Francisco’s 3-2 vic-tory, a stunning turnaround that gave the upper hand back to the Giants.
They didn’t let it slip away, even after falling behind twice in Game 4. Bumgarner pitched like a veteran, allow-ing six hits and both Atlanta runs.
Missing Chipper Jones and Martin Prado from an offense that wasn’t all that strong to begin with, the Braves simply didn’t have enough bats to extend Cox’s career. Heyward had his first two hits of the series but still batted .125. As a team, Atlanta managed just 24 hits in the four games.
Lowe did all he could, turning in a gutsy perfor-mance on three days’ rest. He blanked the Giants with-out a hit over the first 5 1-3 innings, but Ross struck in the sixth with a liner to left that barely cleared the wall. Just like that, it was 1-all on San Francisco’s first hit of the night.
Brian McCann, who had a sacrifice fly in the third to give Atlanta its first lead of the series before the eighth inning, struck again in the sixth. He led off with a shot over the wall in right to quickly restore the Braves’ lead.
Lowe — working hard, muttering to himself and sweating profusely on an unseasonably warm night — finally ran out of gas in the seventh.
With one out, Aubrey Huff drew a walk from Lowe. Buster Posey followed by
topping one toward third baseman Troy Glaus, who was essentially Conrad’s replacement but can barely move because of a sore knee. Posey beat it out without even drawing a throw.
Cox walked slowly toward the mound as though he was going to make a change, but he wanted to ask Lowe how he felt. The pitcher nodded his head and Cox left him in the game, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd.
But the Giants stayed patient against the tiring Lowe. Pat Burrell worked the count to 3-1, then Lowe threw a pitch that darted toward the inside corner. A little too far inside. Ball four.
Lowe threw out his arms, practically pleading with home plate umpire Mike Winters for the call. Cox emerged slowly from the dugout a second time, this time to make the change. Lowe bent over behind the mound, then walked toward Cox to hand him the ball and kept on going toward the clubhouse.
Peter Moylan, a ground-ball specialist, came on to face Juan Uribe. The Braves got what they wanted, only the grounder was between third base and shortstop. Glaus didn’t even make an attempt, Gonzalez made a backhanded grab and threw toward second for the force.
But the throw was a little high, and Infante had to reach up to get it. He had no shot at the double play — and the Braves wound up getting no one when umpire Ed Hickox ruled that Infante had pulled his right foot off the bag a split-second before catching the ball. Replays were inconclusive on a call that left the bases loaded with one out.
Jonny Venters, the third pitcher of the inning, struck out pinch-hitter Aaron Rowand on a wicked slider. But Ross came through with another big hit, grounding one out of Gonzalez’s reach into left field to bring home the go-ahead run.
Matt Diaz prevented the Braves from falling even far-ther behind when he made a strong throw to beat the slow-running Burrell, who was tagged out by McCann in a collision at the plate. But 3-2 was good enough for the Giants’ bullpen.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brett Favre stepped up to the podium after a discouraging loss to the New York Jets and spent about 20 minutes evading questions the same way he tried to avoid tacklers.
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback was asked sev-eral times after Monday night’s 29-20 loss to the New York Jets to discuss the NFL’s investigation into allegations that he sent racy messages and lewd photos to a Jets game host-ess in 2008.
Each time, the three-time MVP did not address the topic. He said he was disappointed his team lost the game and his only focus had been on trying to beat the Jets.
Asked if the allegations against him are true or false, a tight-lipped Favre said: “If you want to talk about what happened in the football game tonight, I’d love to.”
Earlier Monday, he reportedly apologized to his teammates for the dis-traction caused by the alle-gations and NFL investiga-tion.
Neither coach Brad Childress nor Favre would discuss what the quarter-back said to his teammates in that meeting, but both confirmed the 20-year vet-eran addressed the team.
“That’s between me and my teammates, apparently not all of them,” Favre said, a reference to a teammate who might have divulged what was said.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Favre spoke to his teammates Monday. The person spoke
on condition of anonym-ity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about the conversation.
ESPN reported on Favre’s apology.
Asked to characterize whether the allegations have been an embarrass-ment, Favre said “I am embarrassed about this football game. I thought we gave a great effort.”
Asked to comment on the NFL investigation, he said: “I said what I had to say. I’m disappointed we lost this football game.”

Dobyns-Bennett High School wrestling coach Buzzy Mann, the found-er of the Tennessee Tech wrestling program John J. Miller and Science Hill High School coach Jeff Price, who has a record of 411-71 with the Hilltoppers wrestling team.
“It’s a big honor, a tre-mendous honor,” said Lauderdale, immedi-ately following the event. “Nobody does the things they do in order to get into the Hall of Fame. It’s just an unbelievable honor know-ing that people appreci-ate all your hard work and effort. There’s been a lot of people who have put in a lot of hard work and effort.
“I can’t describe it, I mean the National Hall of Fame ... is just an honor, and to be included with all the people that are in the Hall of Fame, I think ‘what am I doing here?’ That’s probably what a lot of people think too.
“But everybody loves to be appreciated, and every-body loves to be respected. It was all worth it anyway, but this is just an added benefit.”
As head coach of the Eagles wrestling team, Lauderdale built a record of 187-81 with multiple top-10 team state finishes. He coached a pair of state champions and had many wrestlers earn state medals in his 10 years at the helm of the Seymour program.
Since 1995, Lauderdale has grown Southeastern AAU wrestling participa-tion from three members to more than 4,000 currently.
Lauderdale founded the middle school state duals tournament in Tennessee, and he’s a recipient of the AAU’s Presidential Leadership Award and AAU’s Wrestling Person of the Year award.
“In 1995, AAU was floun-dering in Tennessee,” said world-renowned amateur wrestler Wade Schalles, who introduced Lauderdale at the event. “When I met Darrel, right away I said ‘this is the man to take it over.’ He didn’t know a lot about wrestling, but he knew a lot about people, and that’s what building anything is about.
“Darrel is the best in the state at relationship build-ing. He’s very good. It was a proud moment for me to introduce him.
“Darrel puts people together. He makes you feel good about what you’re doing and about working with him. He’s a relation-ship builder, that’s what Darrel is. He builds rela-tionships with his athletes, with people in the commu-nity and then he steps back and lets those relationships develop.”
Although he was induct-ed into the wrestling HOF, Lauderdale is personally more accomplished in the sport of football. He joined the Seymour wrestling team as a sophomore in high school, but his true talents were on the gridiron, where he was eventually named the Defensive Player of the Year for Maryville College his senior season.
“He’s a student of life,” said Schalles. “He studies people, his profession, his curriculum, his wrestling. He wants to be better in everything that he does. Wrestling is just one phase of his life. Wrestling is not Darrel Lauderdale, he’s a much broader individual than just one sport. He’s unique. And he knows his wrestling now.”
Lauderdale said the HOF recognition has humbled him beyond words.
“I’m blessed with friends,” he said during his induction speech. “I want to say thank you tall all my friends, all my friends in the Southeastern AAU and all my friends in the our Team Tennessee family. I want to say thank you to my coaching col-leagues from Seymour High School ..., and I want to say thank you to the Pigeon Forge crew for allowing me to continue to be involved in wrestling, because it’s a sport that I dearly love.
“Preparing for this speech
is one of the more difficult tasks I’ve had to attempt. There’s so many I want to say thank you to, and there’s so many that I want to recognize and thank.
“What I value most about my experience with wres-tling is the relationships that have developed between myself and so many people because of this sport.
“When I think back on my career as a high school coach at Seymour, the first thought that comes to my mind that puts a smile on my face is not the wins and losses, nor the champion-ships won or lost, but the relationships I had with my wrestlers, managers and volunteers involved in our program.
“I’d just like to say thank you to all the people that I have met along my path of wrestling. I owe a lot of thank yous to a lot of peo-ple. I hope my induction into the Hall of Fame hon-ors you all, because I owe so many thanks to so many people.
“It is nice to be recog-nized for all the hard work and dedication that a per-son puts into a sport. But I owe a lot of thanks to a lot of people at Seymour and Pigeon Forge.”
As Schalles helped Lauderdale put on the HOF jacket awarded to him that evening, the inductee had to fight off tears.
“It was a very emotional moment,” said Lauderdale. “I owe a lot to a lot of people,
but Wade Schalles’ friend-ship and mentor-ship and his giving of time to me and the wrestling programs I’ve belonged to is just incred-ible. A man of his stature in the sport of wrestling, to call him my friend is just an unbelievable honor. I owe Wade a lot, and I owe a lot of people a lot, I really do.”
Although a HOF induc-tion often allows recipients the chance to reflect fondly upon their past achieve-ments, Lauderdale has no plans to slow down anytime soon.
“We’ve got a lot more to do,” said Lauderdale. “I enjoy what I’m doing, and
I enjoy working with those guys at Pigeon Forge wres-tling. I love working with (Pigeon Forge head wres-tling coach) Greg Foreman, I love working with my Team Tennessee wrestling organi-zation and I love what I do with Southeastern AAU.
“What I want to do is improve wrestling in Tennessee any way that I can.”

The Golden Carat
In and around the 1990s there were few late model drivers who found more success on the dirt tracks of east Tennessee and the southeast region of the country than Scott Sexton of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Unfortunately, that strong run came to a rather abrupt halt as life circumstances caused the talented racer to step away from the sport at the height of his career.
“Me and my dad, Howard Sexton, owned our own equipment,” Sexton explained. “He was sick for years fight-ing lung cancer and we couldn’t keep going. He got to where he couldn’t go to the races anymore so in 2002 we sold our stuff. I’ve just sparingly drove other people’s cars since then.”
But just because he wasn’t driving does not mean Sexton was com-pletely out of racing. He recently spent time work-ing for the team of 2009 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rookie of the Year John Blankenship.
Within the past year Sexton has himself seen more action on the track. Teaming with a Seymour, Tennessee businessman, the 44-year-old driver has acted as a sort of driving coach for up and coming racer Ryan King.
And, Sexton has pilot-
ed a Brian King Roofing car of his own in that time as well.
Originally, Sexton had planned to compete for a full season on the dirt tracks of east Tennessee. However, health issues have put a damper on those plans.
Sexton suffers from Factor V Leiden throm-bophilia, an inherited disorder which increases the risk of blood clotting. “I didn’t find out about it until just a few years ago,” he declared.
“I’ve had seven opera-tions since 2007,” he explained. “Blood clots form in my lungs that cut down on my breathing. It’s a little hard to get up on the wheel when you can’t breathe.”
Medication and a proper diet have helped tremendously. “I’ve actu-ally felt better lately than I’ve felt in two years,” he said.
“I have to give myself a shot in the stomach everyday and I have to stay away from vitamin K, which means I can’t eat green stuff.”
Once he felt like get-ting back into a race car
Sexton has shown little if any negative effect from his health issues.
In his first stint behind the wheel in over three months he won a feature race at the 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour in a car he had never driven before.
“We’ve won five of the seven races we’ve been in this year at 411,” Sexton said. “And we’ve won races at Tazewell and Boyd’s as well. Altogether
we’ve run eleven races this year and won seven of them.”
Sexton has at least one major race ahead on the horizon.
Last year he won the O’Reilly’s National Steelhead Championship at the 411 Motor Speedway in a race that track promoter Chris Corum called one of the most exciting contested at the facility since he has been working there.
Sexton moved around Anthony White of Clinton, Tennessee on the last lap to score the win.
“That was a good race,” Sexton said with a laugh. “Me and Anthony are good friends and it was good for two old codgers to battle like that.” Sexton actually drives a DWB chassis built by White, who is known by the nick-name ‘Dirty White Boy’.
Sexton’s defense of that race win will take place
on October 23rd in the 4th Annual O’Reilly’s National Steelhead Championship at the 411 Motor Speedway.
With his improving health Sexton believes a fulltime racing schedule might very well be in his future. “I definitely think I could do it,” he said confidently.

Harbison rehearing deniedNASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Supreme
Court has denied a rehearing for death row inmate Edward Harbison. Harbison was sentenced to death for beating an elderly woman to death during a 1983 burglary in Chattanooga.
The court Tuesday rejected the petition for Harbison, whose execution date is Feb. 15. He asked for a rehearing on grounds the state lacks a drug necessary to carry out an execution by lethal injec-tion.
Jury considering death penalty MEMPHIS (AP) — Jurors have begun deliberating a
death sentence for a man convicted of killing six people in a bloody rampage in a Memphis home two years ago.
Jurors found 35-year-old Jessie Dotson guilty Monday of first-degree murder in the shootings deaths of his brother, the brother’s girlfriend and two other adults, and the fatal stabbings of two nephews, ages 2 and 4. Three other children sur-vived the attack. Two provided key testimony against Dotson.
Jurors will decide between death by lethal injec-tion, life in prison without parole or life in prison with parole.
Douglas’ health said precariousBERLIN (AP) — Director Oliver Stone says he is wor-
ried about the health of actor Michael Douglas who is battling throat cancer in an advanced stage.
Stone said Tuesday in Berlin that Douglas is in a “precarious” state of health.
He said Douglas, who reprised his role as stock trad-er Gordon Gekko in Stone’s latest film “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” was meant to accompany him on a promotion tour in Europe.
But Stone said Douglas is still “suffering” and remained in the U.S. for further cancer treatments.
Paula now Cat. 2 hurricaneCANCUN, Mexico (AP) — A strengthening Hurricane
Paula roared toward Mexico’s resort-dotted Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday.
The hurricane smashed homes and forced schools to cancel classes in Honduras early Tuesday, then grew into a Category 2 storm with top sustained winds of 100 miles per hour on it way to the Yucatan, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
Wedding ring in granny’s gardenSHELBY, Mont. (AP) — A Montana woman
received a big surprise for her 80th birthday — the wedding ring she lost eight years ago.
Norma Welker of Shelby tells the Great Falls Tribune she took the ring off while she was arrang-ing flowers cut from her garden. A phone call dis-tracted her while she cleaned up and she didn’t realize the ring was missing until after her trash had been hauled away. She searched the compost pile with no luck and figured the ring was gone for-ever.
This spring, she decided her garden was too dif-ficult to keep up and asked her grandson to till it so she could plant grass. Nick Welker was tilling the area when he spotted what he thought was a pop top. He bent down to pick it up and found what looked like his grandmother’s lost wedding ring.
Band blocking freeway arrestedLOS ANGELES (AP) — A rock band will have to face
the music after blocking a Los Angeles freeway and performing atop its trailer.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Rick Quintero says a big box van decorated with Imperial Stars’
logo stopped on the southbound U.S. 101 near Sunset Boulevard at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, blocking four of the five lanes. The driver took the keys and fled in another car, then three musicians climbed on top of the van and began to perform. Quintero says they were arrested and the truck was finally towed away around noon after caus-ing a mile-long traffic jam.

The Mountain Press ◆ Wednesday, October 13, 2010A16 ◆ Comics
A16 COMICS
Dear Annie: Five years ago, my then-single husband decided to take in his 9-year-old sister, “Taylor,” because his mother was using drugs. It was intended to be a temporary arrange-ment until his mother could clean up her act. After one year, Mom got sober and found a job, but Taylor continued to live with her brother. My husband and I married and had two children, and his sister grew into a teenager.
When we were expect-ing our second child, there was talk about Taylor returning home, but I think my husband was waiting for his moth-er to turn into this per-fect parent. And Taylor was comfortable here. My feelings were totally ignored.
My husband thinks sending Taylor home is the equivalent of throw-ing her to the wolves and says I’m not being sup-portive of his decision to let her remain. My rela-tionship with Taylor is strained because I blame her for allowing the situa-tion to continue.
I’ve spoken to my mother-in-law, and she and I agreed that Taylor would return home before school starts. But my husband refused to “kick her out” if she didn’t want to go, and she didn’t. I believe Taylor needs to work on her own relationship with her mother and stop using my husband as a father substitute.
Meanwhile, my hus-band throws it in his mother’s face that he has spent years raising her daughter. Everyone is short-tempered, and I blame them all for the way things are in my marriage. My husband is the one who makes the
decisions in this fam-ily. His mother is quite passive. What should be done? -- A Home Divided
Dear Divided: You married your husband knowing he was raising his sister, and it may be too late to change it now. You obviously don’t want Taylor to stay, but forcing her out could wreck your marriage. Encourage Taylor to form a closer bond with her mother by acting as facilitator and arranging some shopping excursions or dinners out, and enlist the help of Taylor’s school counselor to support a connection. Your husband is the only father figure in Taylor’s life. Consider her your stepdaughter, and try to find a way to accept her. She won’t live there for-ever.
Dear Annie: My par-ents were heavy smokers, and they both died due to complications from COPD and emphysema. My daughter watched their agony. Now she smokes herself. Having watched her grandpar-ents die from the effects of smoking, I cannot understand why she would start a habit that kills. Worse, she now exposes my granddaugh-ter to secondhand smoke.
I know if smokers could turn back time, they would not start such a nasty and filthy habit. What can I do? -- Not Smoking but Still Suffering in N.H.
Dear N.H.: Smoking is an addiction. Your daughter may not be able to stop without assis-
tance, but you can give her information about the hazards of secondhand smoke. Her pediatrician should also mention this. Tell her if she cannot stop smoking for her own benefit, she should at least minimize the risks to her child. We hope she listens.
Dear Annie: This is in reply to “Not Liking Mother in Connecticut.” Has her mother always been nasty and insulting?
She says her 55-year-old handicapped sister lives with Mom. As the mother of a 47-year-old handicapped son who does not live with me, I can imagine that Mom might be very angry about her situation. Does she get any respite from caring for the daughter? She also may be grieving the years of her life that have gone into caring for this daughter.
It sounds like some therapy is in order, although Mom will prob-ably reject the idea. The writer should also seek counseling to deal with the issue. It may make her more understand-ing and tolerant of her mother. -- Mom Who Is Liked in NYC
Dear NYC: Thanks for shedding light on the flip side of the coin. There are always two sides.

Disagreement about husband’s sister leaves wife with questions

HICKORY, N.C. (AP) — Police indicated Tuesday they believe someone killed a 10-year-old North Carolina girl whose bone cancer left her with a prosthetic leg and hearing aids, saying they were shifting from a missing person search to a homicide investigation.
Zahra Clare Baker was reported missing Saturday, but police said they can’t find anyone outside the house-hold who has seen the girl alive in a month. Relatives described the child’s life as miserable, saying she was locked in her room for most of the day and punished over little things.
Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins said at a news con-ference that the girl’s step-mother confessed to writing a ransom note found at the house where the girl lived, and she has been charged with felony obstruction of justice in the case. Elisa Baker, who was being held on unrelated charges, has also asked for an attorney.
Uncertainty over when the girl was last seen alive has stymied efforts to search for her, the chief said. Volunteers have offered to help look for her around the city of 40,000 residents about 50 miles northwest of Charlotte.
“We understand the pub-lic wants to help find Zahra. The problem is we cannot confirm with any confi-dence how long Zahra has been missing,” he said at the news conference. “Without this information, we cannot
positively select the area to search for her.”
Adkins did not take any questions and did not offer further explanation of why the case was being treat-ed as a homicide probe. A search warrant revealed on Monday that police dogs detected the smell of human remains on cars belonging to the father and stepmoth-
er.The girl’s father, Adam
Baker, has not been charged in the case, though the chief said previously he hasn’t been ruled out as a suspect. Police say he’s cooperating in the case.
Adam Baker has said it was possible his wife could be involved in the disap-pearance, and other rela-
tives echoed those remarks.“I just think this was
something for a long time that we knew was going to happen, everybody that was close to the family,” rela-tive Brittany Bentley said on CBS’ “Early Show” on Tuesday.
Bentley, who is married to Elisa Baker’s neph-ew, said she would have
Zahra over for weekends and the girl would get mad when it was time to return home.
Zahra “was locked in her room, allowed five min-utes out a day to eat, that was it,” Bentley said. “She was beat almost every time I was over there for just the smallest things. Elisa would get mad, she would
take it out on Zahra, things the kid didn’t deserve. She just had a horrible home life.”
Neighbors also feared the worst.
“There were warn-ing signs along the way, but you never want to think the worst,” said former neighbor Kayla Rotenberry.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration, under heavy pressure from the oil industry and others in the Gulf Coast, lifted the moratorium on deep water drilling that it imposed in the wake of the disastrous BP oil spill.
The six-month ban had been scheduled to expire Nov. 30, but Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Tuesday he was moving up that deadline because new rules imposed after the spill have strengthened safety measures and reduced the risk of another catastrophic blowout.
“The policy position that we are articulating today is that we are open for busi-ness,” Salazar told a news conference.
The action comes as a deadline passed for a fed-eral judge to rule on a law-suit seeking to overturn the moratorium.
It also comes less than a month before midterm elec-tions in which Democrats face widespread criticism for overextending govern-ment actions on the econ-omy, including the health care overhaul, the economic stimulus plan and the drill-ing moratorium.
A federal report said the moratorium likely caused a temporary loss of 8,000 to 12,000 jobs in the Gulf region.
While the temporary ban on exploratory oil and gas drilling is lifted immedi-ately, drilling is unlikely to resume for at least a few weeks.
Drilling companies must meet a host of new safe-ty regulations before they can resume operations — including a requirement that the CEO of the compa-ny responsible for the well certifies it has complied with all regulations. That could make the person at the top of the company liable for any future accidents.
“Operators who play by the rules and clear the high-er bar can be allowed to resume,” Salazar said.
The secretary said he knows that some people in the oil industry and along the Gulf Coast will say the new rules are too onerous. “Others will say that we are lifting the deep water drilling suspension too soon.
