Signs point to another rough winter ahead By Melinda L ane Hedgecoth
Signs of a rough winter
Chronicle contributor
Songbirds trill and warble their joy of the day as morning sun glimmers its own cheery welcome peeking hesitantly over the mountain vista in the distance as it cascades its sunbeam mirth in dancing tendrils of gold across the wooded slopes below. Its glowing greeting warming all in its wake as it wends a circuitous path of unfolding color across rugged peaks awash in the aura of another brilliant autumn. Golden hickories, burnished oaks, and scarlet maples join the glistening sumac, sassafras and dogwoods in a shimmering panoply of color that is unmatched for beauty by any earthly artist’s brush creating

a tapestry of wonder as it cloaks the land in vibrant shades of scarlet, orange and gold. Monarch butterflies flit liltingly on the autumn wind as it hurries them on their journey to warmer climes before winter’s icy breath crystallizes the land in a different seasonal aura of enchantment. Frisky squirrels scampering to hoard their precious cache of hickory
nuts and acorns join migrating geese and other flocks in their own unique race to prepare for winter’s coming onslaught of cold and snow. But that all seems far away at the moment with the sweet allure of autumn beckoning in tantalizing whispers of golden See WINTER page 2A
County updated on PPP site By Gary Nelson
Chronicle senior staffwriter
Officials with the Plateau Partnership Park are working on obstacles to help make the property more appealing to industries looking to locate in Tennessee and specifically in Cumberland County, according to Ray Evans, economic development director with
the Crossville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. “We are working on the obstacles of no wastewater treatment or gas on the site. We have designed a wastewater treatment plant and have submitted a permit packet to the state,” Evans said. Evans gave an update on the Plateau Partnership Park to the Cumberland County Commission dur-
ing its October monthly meeting earlier this week. Evans said the water treatment facility would be able to treat roughly 155,000 gallons per day on site and would count on an industry to help obtain grants for its construction. “We have also designed a new See PPP page 3A
Crossville City Manager David Rutherford reported good news to the city council in that the city continues to have good growth in sales tax collections that were up by $10,000 over the month of September in 2013. Since the beginning of the fiscal year, according to Rutherford, the city is some $37,000 above the previous year in sales tax revenue. Rutherford pointed out that for the first three months of the 2014-’15 fiscal year, the city has collected $1,823,265, the most sales tax in any three-month period since tax collection records have been kept. Crossville native, now Hollywood actress Julie Ann Emery was announced as the grand marshal for the Crossville Christmas Parade coming up Saturday, Dec. 13, at 4:30 p.m. Emery was born and raised in Crossville and has starred in numerous movies and TV shows for the last dozen years. The theme of this year’s Christmas parade is the very apt “Coming Home for Christmas.” Anyone needing more information or to register to participate in the parade should contact the Palace Theatre at 484-6133.

An 80th birthday marked with skydive By Heather Mullinix Chronicle assistant editor
Dee Allen decided to mark her 80th birthday by jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and falling 15,000 feet. “Through the years, I’ve seen people do it, and everybody is always having such a good time,” Allen told the Chronicle. “I always wondered, ‘How did they dare do that?’” Then, she realized that in a
tandem jump, she would not be responsible for pulling the rope. “It’s just another ride, but a little bit unusual,” she said, laughing, about her experience Oct. 10. “There is no explanation for it, except it is the most exhilarating thing I’ve ever done.” She’s had a number of adventures, including numerous whitewater rafting trips and scaling the peak of Mt.

proving) his livestock. I know my mother said her dad’s mark was two bits off the left and a crap off the right, meaning two holes were punched in the animals left ear with a slice “crap” (crop) taken off the right ear. Also, remember the hog-marking incident on the Disney film “Old Yeller”? Little Bertha, Sam and Emmett all lived to a ripe old age, and Bertha told this story and many others to her grandchildren in the years to come about her treasured school days at the little country log school that stood in the grove of trees on a hill in Crab Orchard called Haley’s Grove. Bertha was my grandmother, Bertha Holloway Sherrill, and brother Sam being, of course, my Uncle Sam Holloway, revered postmaster at Crab Orchard for many years, and little Emmett was Grandma and Sam’s first cousin, Emmett Hassler. Grandma related to me that back then they only went to school three months out of the year, and that was during the summer months. This was due to the harshness of the winters back then and, since everyone had to walk sometimes great distances to school, it was just too dangerous for the children to be out in such extreme weather. She said she was always reminded of her school days when she would hear the jar flies of summer singing their whirring distinctive song from their treetop perches overhead. She said, too, that although they only went to school three months out of the year, that she still felt that she had received an excellent education due to the excellence of the teachers and the memory recitations that they had the students perform in that day and time. She would say “I can’t tell you what I did last week, but I can still recall those lessons from 75 years ago that I had to memorize and recite!” What a wonderful gift that little log school (and church) was not only to our family but to all the families of the community of Crab Orchard. This precious gift was due to the generosity and benevolent kindness of one man, and that man was Dr. Elijah Graves Haley. Dr. Haley was born Aug. 16, 1810, and named for his father who passed away just prior to young Elijah’s birth from an illness that was called “cramp collick” (believed to be a heart attack) while camped with his pregnant wife, Mary Alexander Haley, in the cut just east of Crab Orchard known as Renfro Holler. Mrs. Haley returned to her
family in Roane County where she later gave birth to young Elijah but soon returned to the Ozone area where she operated a tavern on Fall Creek. When Elijah was around seven years, she old married a man by the name of Robert Burke who had recently relocated from North Carolina. Burke helped the Widow Haley in operating her tavern and in raising her little son with great kindness and care to both, and it was he who later moved the family from Ozone to Crab Orchard upon buying property there. In 1828, he built the fine brick inn that became famous far and wide as the old Crab Orchard Inn that President Andrew Jackson was known to frequent on his journeys to and from “Washington City.” Mr. and Mrs. Burke and young Elijah initially built log cabins just above where the inn was built and lived in these until the inn was finished. They then moved into the inn and lived there where they kept the tavern, post office and took care of the stagecoach horses. They also owned and maintained the turnpike road over which the stagecoach traveled and operated the toll gate too which was located at Crab Orchard. This road ran from Sparta to the Kimbrough place, which was two miles south of Rockwood. Upon Mr. Burke’s death, young Elijah took over the operation of the inn and operated it until 1859. In 1838, when he was 28 years old, he married Ms. Letitia Winton of Roane County, and they went on to become parents to a large and prosperous family with many of their descendants still to be found in Crab Orchard and Cumberland County today. Shortly before the Civil War, Dr. Haley and his neighbor built the aforementioned hewn log school house on his land about a mile from his residence on The Haley Farm at the crossing of the Owl Roost and Antioch Roads, deeding the land for school purposes. This information is excerpted from an article written by Judge S.C. Brown titled “Judge S.C. Brown Writes About the Haley Family and Haley’s Grove,” and from a let-
ter written by Dr. Haley’s son, George Haley, that is in the possession of Haley descendant L.T. Thurman. This is at the site of present-day Haley’s Grove Cemetery, and the school was located near the iron fence in the old part of the cemetery where the Haley family is buried. They fashioned seats from split logs, boring holes to attach wooden legs in the bottom, and thus seated the new school. Although Dr. Haley owned 11 slaves, he was nonetheless an abolitionist, and when the Civil War broke out, he broke with his former church when they allied with the Southern Confederacy and, thus, they stood for slavery. After the war, Dr. Haley helped to organize a new church of Baptist affiliation, and on Dec. 4, 1869, Haley’s Grove Baptist Church was founded with Dr. Haley being the first person baptized into the newly organized church. He and his family were leading members and liberal supporters there throughout the rest of their lives. To show what a man of distinction and kindness he was, the Haley slaves, although free for many years, still chose to stay on with the Haley family and remained on the Haley farm for years thereafter with two of them, “Uncle Calvin” and his wife “Aunt Lilah” (Delilah for whom the “Liley Hole” on Daddy’s Creek is named), were active members of the church being “constant in attendance and deeply religious, no color line being drawn.” Dr. Haley lived a long and fruitful life surrounded by a loving family and community, dying well past 80 years of age in November 1890. About 20 years later, a new large framed church and school house was erected in close proximity to the old log schoolhouse, which was removed, and Haley’s Grove continued to be the center of activities in that section of the county until the coming of the Tennessee Central Railway, at which time Crab Orchard, less than a mile from Haley’s Grove, began to grow as a town. Around 1918, the church and school were moved to Crab Orchard. Haley’s Grove Baptist Church is still in existence

She did that in her 50s. “I thought that was the height of anything crazy I would do,” Allen said. “But this tops that.” Her sons joined her for her birthday treat, with Bruce taking the plunge with her while David recorded the event from the ground. They worried she might get cold feet once she was in the plane. But when it came time to jump, she said, “I was not afraid.” There wasn’t really time to worry about the jump, either. She said her tandem jumper warned the door was opening, but there wasn’t time to think about it. When the chute was deployed, there was a moment where she felt like her breath had left her. “But that immediately went away,” she said.
From there, she just enjoyed the trip to the ground, laughing and smiling the whole time. She used a skydiving company out of Jasper, TN, at the Marion County Airport, who explained everything before the jump. What does next year hold? “I don’t think I could find anything to top this one,” she said. For those who have always wanted to try skydiving, she encourages them, if they are in good health, to just do it. “You’ll never do anything more exciting,” she said. n Heather Mullinix may be reached at hmullinix@ crossville-chronicle.com.

HHW material is considered flammable, toxic, reactive and/or corrosive and should not be placed with regular garbage.
Typical items to dispose of include cleaning fluids, pesticides, mercury thermometers and thermostats, fluorescent lamps, lithium and button batteries, aerosols, adhesives, medications, brake fluid, swimming pool chemicals and paint thinner. Items not accepted include ammunition, explosives, alkaline batteries, paint, electronics, medical waste and any empty containers.

He said there were two larger projects that decided to locate in other areas or another state. “The infrastructure is not in place and it has to be in a timely manner,” Evans said. He said there was one company that was interested in locating in the park for taking waste and turning it into energy that would then be sold back to TVA. “We have an obligation to make sure those who are interested are credible. We could find nothing of substance with the company,” he said. He also added TVA had no record of an agreement of buying back power or electricity from the company. “Many (county commissioners) thought there was something there, but in my opinion, there was no option at all,” Evans said. The company said they were looking elsewhere. Evans said there have been others and they are continuing to work on the challenges that face the property in order to get more industrial prospects interested in locating in the industrial park.
The Plateau Partnership Park ownership is split three ways between Cumberland, Morgan and Roane counties. Representatives of each county serve on the TriCounty Industrial Development Board, which oversees the property. Evans said he will periodically update the county on prospects and and any developments in the future. n Gary Nelson may be reached at gnelson@crossville-chronicle.com.

Disagrees city council is broken
Dear Chronicle: This is my response for the two letters by Lou Morrison. I do not think city council is broken. I am going to give you some facts. One of the lowest tax rates of any city in Tennessee is Crossville at $.53 per $100 assessed value. This compares to Cookeville at $.90; Kingston at $1.17; Monterey at $1.20; Sweetwater at $1.46; McMinnville at $2.09; and Oak Ridge at $2.39. Crossville has a debt of $8 million dollars and a surplus of more than $10 million dollars. These figures only come with great leadership from our mayor and outstanding councilmen, past and present. We know, Pete Souza, James Mayberry and Lou Morrison support the over $11 million downtown beautification project. Not hard to figure out. Mayberry and Morrison’s properties are downtown. Where will the money come from? The city taxes will go up drastically and they will deplete our over $10 million dollar surpus fund. We, the taxpayers, will pay. Council has voted and approved to replace the downtown water line and to bring sidewalks up to standard. Morrision, you are wrong when you say the council is broken. It is a well oiled, hard working machine. It might need a couple of cylinders replaced, but other than that, it is fine. These are facts, not fiction. Jim Morrow Crossville
Two years should fix city council Dear Chronicle: Lou Morrison states in the Chronicle that our city council is broken and that we now have an opportunity to change three parts of this broken machine. He futher mentions the divisiveness and acrimony we should change. Please rememer that the divisiveness and acrimony started two years ago with the election of two other parts of the machine. Though Souza ran on a platform of seeking the office for one term only, he has two more years to serve, along with (Jesse) Kerley. At that time, I believe the machine will be properly oiled and repaired regardless of who is elected this year. Vancieneta Wisdom Crossville
Think before you vote this election Dear Chronicle: Conservative Republicans brought us “corporations are people,” big bucks equal freedom of speech, tax cuts for billionaires and tax breaks for companies moving jobs offshore. Wouldn’t you rather have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, food stamps for the needy, and assistance in paying for college? Which party do you think really puts the needs of average people over hedge fund managers and greedy CEOs? Think before you vote, and then please do vote. Mary Ann Crowe Crossville

Vote yes on Amendment 2 By Gov. Bill Haslam and Gov. Phil Bredesen
Editorial
While we come from different political parties, we share a deep gratitude for having served as Governor of our great state. We also come together this election season, along with many others, to strongly encourage all Tennesseans to Vote Yes on Amendment 2. Amendment 2 is the judicial selection amendment to our state constitution, and it is important. Passing Amendment 2 will bring clarity and certainty to the way Tennesseans choose the 29 appellate court judges who serve statewide in Tennessee. These include the five justices on the Supreme Court, the twelve judges on the Court of Appeals, and the twelve judges on the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Amendment 2 does not change the selection process for trial court judges, who will continue to run in local elections. Why do we need Amendment 2? Because there have been numerous legal challenges in recent years to the way we select appellate court judges in our state. Although the courts have repeatedly upheld Tennessee’s system as constitutional, these challenges, and the confusion and uncertainty they create, persist. By voting Yes on Amendment 2, Tennesseans can put an end to these questions and make clear the process for selecting the diverse and well-qualified, fair and impartial judges we want and need. Voting YES on Amendment 2 preserves the best parts of the current system while adding new checks

and balances to strengthen the voice of Tennesseans in the judicial selection process. The main text of Amendment 2 is clearly spelled out on the ballot, along with some procedures the legislature will follow during the confirmation process: “Judges of the Supreme Court or any intermediate appellate court shall be appointed for a full term or to fill a vacancy by and at the discretion of the governor; shall be confirmed by the legislature; and thereafter, shall be elected in a retention election by the qualified voters of the state…” This approach is important because it protects your voice and your vote in the selection of appellate court judges: •When voting for Governor who will make the appointments; •When voting for your
State Senators and State Representatives who will confirm or reject the appointments; •Most importantly, in protecting your right to vote to keep or replace the judges at the end of their respective terms. That is why so many leaders, from across the political spectrum, have endorsed and are strongly supporting Amendment 2 — including every living former Governor of Tennessee, the mayors of our three largest cities, the mayors of our four largest counties, a majority of our state legislators, and almost all of our judiciary. Amendment 2 has also earned the support of respected organizations like the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the NAACP of Tennessee, the Tennessee Bar Association, the TenSee YES page 5A
What will keep Ebola reports from ‘going viral?’ So how scared should we be about the worldwide Ebola virus crisis? For nearly all of us, the answer to that question will come through what we see, hear and read in the news media and in the U.S. that places a unique burden on those free to print, broadcast or post stories as they wish about efforts to control the spread of the virus. But how much can we rely on our news media? From grim images and statistics about deaths in West Africa, to reports about flaws in attempts to isolate or track those exposed, news media accounts can inform or inflame, promote protection or pump up panic, and discount or display the inevitable crackpot theories on how and why the epidemic came to be. Our news media is charged by its constitutional protections to serve as a “watchdog on government.” The challenge is when to bark, bite, growl or just keep watching. Mike Cavender, executive director of the Radio Television Digital News Association, said “largely, what I have seen has been very responsible” reporting. While some have criticized as unnecessarily frightening the news reports that a Dallas hospital apparently botched some protocols on handling the first Ebola-
Gene Policinski Inside the First Amendment stricken patient, who later died, “ ... not to have reported what happened at the hospital would have been irresponsible,” Cavender said. The shift in the epidemic from global to “local” in the U.S. helps the news media focus more on real issues — health provider readiness and personal safety issues — according to Chris Peck, president of the American Society of News Editors, and editor of the Riverton (Wyo.) Ranger. “But there’s no question that reporting on a potential national disaster of any kind requires an extra degree of diligence” on the part of the news media, he said. Journalists, Peck said, need to take a “fact-based look” at the nature of the health threat, and consider the “tenor and the tone” of reports to present a “calm, measured look at how we will respond in this country.” The news media also should be less concerned “about the politics and politicization” that has crept into public discussion, he said. “This has more to do with
reporting the response on the health front.” Online news media may well face the biggest challenge, since their reporting is intertwined with comments, postings and reports from a vast audience — which can include hoaxers, profiteers and rumormongers. Still, social media and online news “hasn’t created anything new. It’s just made it easier to see the conversations already there,” said Joshua Hatch, a journalist who chairs the legal committee of the Online News Association. Hatch cited persistent and pre-Internetera claims that the 1969 NASA moon landing “is a fake ... those have been around since it happened.” Even efforts to refute misinformation can backfire, Hatch said, citing a study that shows “by repeating the error and trying to knock it down, you give it credibility ... and people believe it more.” Hatch does see a “learning curve” among established Internet operations such as Google, Facebook and Twitter on how to blunt or block hoaxes or deliberate attempts to spread fear and terror — such as the now near-immediate takedowns of ISIS’s postings of its beheadings of journalists and aid workers. But, Hatch noted, “the online commu-
nity is so dynamic, there will be many (new companies) that will have to go through” such incidents a first time before developing their own internal sets of controls. In a media-saturated world of 24/7 news, with the voracious talk-show appetite for chatter, we’re already seeing questions about what has been presented. On Oct. 13, Fox News Channel’s Shepard Smith was critical of much of what he’s seen: “You would think 4 million people in America have Ebola, wouldn’t you?” he said. Some interviews and news accounts have been slammed by critics as shallow or simply spreading misinformation. A CNN interview with an author of a 30-year old best-seller about a fictional Ebola outbreak raised concern that the virus might mutate to an easily-spread type — a theory discounted by virtually every scientist studying the disease. A widely seen video of a doctor walking in a protective suit through Atlanta’s airport wearing a sign reading “CDC is lying” led to interviews in newspapers and a TV station — taking a publicity stunt to new levels. Not all the news about the “new” news media is grim. Tom Risen, technolSee EBOLA page 5A

Chronicle documenting lives for over 100 years By Old Uncle Gib
Chronicle correspondent
Last week Captain McElwee mentioned in his column that he had attended the funeral of Mr. Lindsley. This would have been Harris Baldwin (H. B.) Lindsley who was born November 5, 1829 in Irvington, Essex, New Jersey, and died March 5, 1929. His parents were Jonathan Lindsley and Lydia Ogden Lindsley, both born in New Jersey. H. B. Lindsley died in Rockwood at the home of his son, George Peck Lindsley, at the age of 99 years, eight months short of his 100th birthday. He was buried in the Oak Lawn Cemetery in Pomona, TN, next to his wife, Jennette B. Peck Lindsley;
their daughter, Nettie Olivia; and granddaughter, Lois Jeanette Lindsley. The Chronicle of September 28, 1898, reported, “Nettie Olivia, daughter of Harry B. and Jeanette B. Lindsley, died September 17, 1898, aged 35 years, at her home in Pomona, after a lingering illness of five years.” Jeanette Peck Lindsley preceded her husband in death by almost 28 years, passing away at age 69 years and 6 months, on December 3, 1901. The
Chronicle of December 4 reported, “Mrs. Lindsley, wife of H. B. Lindsley, died at the home in Pomona yesterday morning at 3:30, of pneumonia, after an illness of about a week. The deceased was 70 years of age and leaves a husband, two sons and other relatives, who deeply mourn her loss. She was a woman of a sweet disposition, a tender heart and large Christian kindness. To know her was to love her, and the citizens of Pomona feel that the little village has suffered an irreparable loss in her death. All neighborly kindness can do to soften the pangs of sorrow is being done by kind friends for the grief-stricken husband. “The interment will not take place before tomorrow or next day as one son, Rob-
ert Lindsley, resides in Boston and cannot reach here sooner than that time.” The Chronicle of December 11 reports, “Mrs. H. B. Lindsley was laid to rest Friday afternoon. The funeral services conducted by Rev. H. E. Partridge were attended by the many friends of the deceased. Robert Lindsley and wife were present from New Hampshire, and G. P. Lindsley and wife from Rockwood. Mrs. Peak (her mother) was obliged to return home the day before.” This time must have been especially difficult for George Lindsley and his wife as the Chronicle reported January 30, 1901, “Friends were pained to hear of the death of little Lois, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Lindsley of Rockwood. The burial took
place in Pomona, the funeral being held at the home of H. B. Lindsley, yesterday morning.” Lois Jeanette Lindsley, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. George Lindsley, aged one year and fourteen days, had died January 27, 1901, a little less than a year before her grandmother, and was also buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Pomona. Just as it is today, the Crossville Chronicle has been important in documenting the lives of the citizens of Cumberland County for over one hundred years. • • • Old Uncle Gib is a weekly historical feature published each Friday. Old Uncle Gib is a pseudonym that was used by S.C. Bishop, who founded the Chronicle in 1886. Bishop actively published the Chronicle until 1948.
YES
• Continued from 4A nessee Sheriffs Association, the League of Women Voters, several major newspapers across the state, and many others who are actively supporting it. These leaders and organizations know that failure to pass Amendment 2 could lead to even more confusion, and potentially, to new and costly statewide elections. By voting Yes on Amendment 2, we can help keep the corrupting influences of money and politics away from our judges and out of our courts. We need fair and impartial judges, not the best politicians, who can raise the most money, as our judges. Amendment 2 will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot – with early voting already underway through Oct. 30. Please don’t skip this important issue. Visit VoteYES2.org to learn more. It is time to end the confusion. It is time for Tennesseans to be heard. We want fair and impartial judges held accountable to the people of Tennessee. Please join us in voting YES on Amendment 2. ••• Bill Haslam, a Republican, serves as the current Governor of Tennessee. Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, served as the Governor of Tennessee from 2003-2011.
EBOLA
• Continued from 4A ogy writer for the now-digital magazine U.S. News and World Report, wrote recently that “ ... mobile networks and the Internet are helping doctors reach and treat people who may have come in contact with the lethal disease.” Risen reported that “the continent’s growing mobile access already has played a key role in the fight to contain Ebola, as Nigeria seems to have tracked all known infections of the disease in its nation.” The American Psychological Association is telling health officials not to spare the public needed information and specific details. An Oct. 8 post on its website said “ ... people want easyto-comprehend information and access to more information if they want it. The news media will play a critical role if a health emergency occurs. Information flow to the public about very bad news should not be controlled in the name of trying to avoid an outbreak of mass panic.” The APA post ends with this advice, which could be added right after the actual 45 words of the First Amendment: “The public should be armed with information.” ••• Gene Policinski is vice president and executive director of the First Amendment Center, 1101 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.

• Continued from 1A A new member of the City Lake Commission was sworn in at the October Crossville City Council meeting. Levonn Hubbard was appointed to fill the remainder of an unexpired term on the group that oversees the operation of the the city’s first reservoir. A number of bids were approved during the last council meeting, including city employee’s health, dental and vision insurance. The city put the package out for bid but the only firm to bid on the 2015 health package was Blue Cross of Tennessee. Rutherford recommended to the council that the bid be approved that included networks S and P. The bid includes a 9 percent price increase over the current year’s cost. It was also recommended that the council approve reimbursing up to $200 a month for Medicare-eligible employees and spouses to pay for privately purchased supplemental policies. The bid for the health care insurance package and the proposed policy on Medicare-eligible employees and spouses were approved unanimously. Also approved was the bid of Delta Dental for two
years of dental insurance as recommended by Rutherford. The bid on vision insurance was also recommended by Rutherford. Both motions to approve the bids were also unanimously approved by the council. The employee assistance program bid was approved with one councilman opposed to the purchase. The city manager recommended the city enroll in the 1-5 in person session and the legal and financial consultation services. The program provides guidance for employees in social, emotional health issues as well as legal and financial assistance. According to the city manager, when employees know that such a program is available 25 to 40 percent of employees will take advantage of it. The annual cost of the service is $4000 and the contract is for two years. The motion was approved with councilman Danny Wyatt opposed. The council approved the purchase bid of a horizontal drill to be used by the utility maintenance department to bore under roads to install water or sewer lines without cutting through the pavement. The unit will allow the installation of up to an 8 inch line. The drill costs $270,340
and the purchase was recommended by utility maintenance manager Billy Martin. The purchase of the drill was in the city budget at $275,000. The expected future growth of the city as well as use of the drill in the Catoosa utility district area was the justification for the purchase. Councilman Danny Wyatt questioned how often the city has to bore a road. Martin was not present to answer the questions, but the savings from not having to cut asphalt and repair it was discussed as part of the benefit of the purchase. The motion passed with four votes in favor and councilman Wyatt opposed. As part of the con-
sent agenda, the council approved the first reading of an ordinance increasing the fine for improper parking in a handicapped space to $200 as now allowed by state law. The matter was brought to the attention of the city by a citizen’s email. Martin Elementary School fourth-grader Tony Baisley was recognized as the student of the month for his representation of the character trait of responsibility. Tony was described by his teacher as doing his job as a student who is responsible for his actions and behaviors each day. n Jim Young may be reached at jimyoungreporter@gmail.com.

8A • Local News WINTER
• Continued from 2A can still be found to secure the needed funding to preserve this valuable historic treasure in our midst and in commemoration too of our distinguished citizen of yesteryear, Dr. Elijah Graves Haley, who gave so freely of his time, talents and fortune to the good people of Crab Orchard (and surrounding areas) all throughout his estimable life. Now on to our winter weather prediction! Folks, it’s looking like it’s going to be a rough one again this year! Old man winter is right around the corner, and we better get ready for it. I counted nine early morning fogs in August with three of those being heavy denoting three heavy snows. Several other lighter fogs indicate the blue darter-type of snows which are snows that just barely skim the ground. The ground has to be frozen for this type of snow to occur, so it’s looking like it’s gonna be a cold one for sure! Also, the mast crop (hickory nuts and acorns) is particularly heavy, and the tree foliage is particularly thick this year too — both hard winter signs. Additionally, the cornhusks are thick and, although I haven’t personally seen any hornets’ nests yet, I’ve sure talked to plenty of others who have, and they all said they were right on the ground, which are additional hard winter signs. Also another sign to watch for is spring flowering bushes blooming late in the fall, then expect a bad winter. Well, my rhododendron that usually blooms the last of May or the first of June is currently blooming again, thus another indicator of a hard winter! I had been watching and waiting for our little woolly worms to make their appearance and they finally showed last Thursday. I found three in one day, all with markings of black on both ends and brown in the middle denoting a hard beginning and ending to winter with a mild spell in between. However, I’ve also had reports from several others, too, of solid black ones. Even though I didn’t personally see them, just the fact that three other reputable people did gives me pause to believe that this is another indicator of a hard winter, especially in combination with all of the other hard winter signs that are occurring. There are lots of spiders this year too, and they’re already trying to come into the houses and garages, which is an indicator that winter is soon to arrive! Furthermore, pay attention to the leaves as to how long they hang onto the trees. If many of them wither and hang on, it behooves a frosty winter and much snow. If leaves are slow to fall, expect a cold winter. If they remain under the trees and don’t blow away, expect a fruitful year to follow. And, of course, if they are thick expect a cold winter. Finally, another oldtime weather predictor is to cut open a persimmon seed and take note of what

you find there. If you see a fork, expect a mild winter; if you see a knife, expect cutting winds and cold; if you see a spoon, you’ll be shoveling snow all winter. I’ve had numerous reports from folks from all over the region checking their persimmon seeds and showing me pictures and guess what? They’re all showing spoons! Better get ready to shovel snow, folks! Keep an eye on the dates of the upcoming new moons for weather events, including Oct. 23, Nov. 22 and Dec. 22, which could
www.crossville-chronicle.com • Friday, October 24, 2014 indicate a possible white Christmas. If it snows near the new moon, it usually stays on the ground for two or three days, spawning the old saying that “it’s hangin’ around waitin’ on another one,” which also indicates frozen ground and bitter cold, too. Watch out for weather events, too, on the full moons, which are Nov. 6, Dec. 6, Jan. 5, Feb. 3, March 5 and April 4 this winter and spring. But remember, too, that if it snows on a full moon, it usually doesn’t linger long and will melt off quick.
Last year we had a particularly bad winter with lots of snow, as I’m sure you remember, and I think that much of that had to do with the two new moons in January and two new moons again in March, which is a unique anomaly. We don’t have two new moons in one month again until July of next year, so we may not have as extreme of a winter this year as last, but in view of all the other indicators I still think it will be a harsh one. But, we had better watch out for unusual
weather come July though! And finally, Easter falls early this coming year, April 5, indicating an early ending to winter this year, which I’m sure you’ll all be glad to hear! So folks, button up your overcoats and lay in a hearty supply of food and fuel. It’s looking like it could be another humdinger! Stay warm and happy this fall, y’all! ••• Melinda Lane Hedgecoth’s mother, Helen Lane, was a Chronicle correspondent from the Crab Orchard communi-

Another great weekend coming up for football Just about all fall weekends are great for SEC football fans, and this one should be another really good one. Knoxville should really be jumping as the Volunteers literally try to stem the Tide. Tennessee should be playing with a fire and holding nothing back, as they have nothing to lose against a heavily-favored Alabama team except for a game. A good showing in this game will be a giant brick in Butch Jones' construction project. This could be a close one just as I thought the Ole Miss game would be. Nick Saban and his bunch may have hit their stride though in the 59-0 rout of the Aggies and if that's the case, who knows? The split of fans in this area is about 50-50 for 'Bama and the Vols. My Commodores are good and rested but still without the services of Patton Robinette due to a concussion. It appears that Coach Derek Mason will try starting a fourth quarterback in Johnny McCrary. We can't sink any farther,

All in the Game and someone must right the ship. Missouri would be a good place to turn things around, but the Tigers also seem to have got their footing. The Rebels from Mississippi must be a whole lot better than I thought. They only beat Vanderbilt by a 41-3 margin and almost did the same to UT with a 34-3 trouncing. Frank Gale keeps learning about finding the positives. Believe me Frank, it can become difficult.

The start to the second half of the season did not quite go the way the Big Orange would have liked. Now they have five games left to find three more wins to become bowl eligible. The first one of those is against Alabama tomorrow night in a sold out Neyland Stadium. Of course, it will not be easy. Alabama is the third top-five ranked team the Vols will play this season. Such is life in the SEC. The more important question— does the Alabama rivalry still hold the same significance that it once did? Gone is the "third Saturday in October" game day.

had a major impact on this rivalry. Compounding this even more are the lopsided victories by Alabama since 2009 during their current seven-game win streak. There have been streaks by both teams and many special moments during this rivalry. Who can forget the five overtime win in Tuscaloosa in 2003, followed by the close wins in 2004 and 2006. These are just a few of the more recent classics that had the rivalry back in the forefront. The truth is this rivalry probably means more these days to the older fans and less to the younger ones. I suspect that as the Vols improve over the next few years, this rivalry will once again take its rightful place within the entire Volunteer Nation. All that aside, the Vols will be at home where they have played well this season, dropping only a close I really like the SEC channel. Especially so, now that they let me watch a replay of the 2005 game in Knoxville. as Jay Cutler and Earl Bennett led the 'Dores to the end of a 22-game losing streak to the Vols. That was my last trip to Neyland and it was a good one. Hey everybody let's all root for the best on Saturday and continue to smile regardless of the outcome. Such a great time of year! Go Jets! Go Panthers! Go USA! (Jim Butler is a Chronicle correspondent and his column appears regularly.)
contest to Florida. I told a long time Alabama fan the other day that Tennessee was looking for an upset this week. He said that would happen when frogs fly. Got to love those Tide fans! The defense came out of a tough physical game with Ole Miss intact, but the offense suffered injuries along the offensive line and to quarterback Justin Worley. The Vols could be without Coleman Thomas, while Worley appears to be ready to give it a go. Worley has taken a season's worth of hits in the first seven games but so far has been very resilient. It will be imperative that Tennessee emerge from tomorrow night's game with a minimum of injuries. We all saw what happened last season when he was
hurt in this game last season and did not play down the stretch. With winnable games on the horizon, The Big Orange will need their senior quarterback leading them forward. Peyton Manning set an NFL record for touchdown passes to start the week and was part of a team that ended a streak of wins by the Tide his sophomore year. It sure would be a fitting end for the Big Orange to end the week with a big win and end this current streak of losses. The Vols are 38-51-7 all time against Alabama. Vanderbilt heads to Missouri after a week off. I am sure Jim Butler is hoping that the week to prepare will help turn their season around.

Blind golfers play with finesse Saturday By Margie DeMars Chronicle contributor
Cold and windy was the weather at the VIS (Visually Impaired Support) Group of Cumberland County Golf Tournament on Oct. 18 at Lake Tansi Country Club. The sighted golfers were impressed by the United States Blind Golf Association members, Jim Baker and Dan Dillon. With the aid of their coaches, Scott and Lisa Dreher, it was inspiring to see the proficiency of their shot making ability. This requires a great deal of trust in their coaches. Jim and Dan listen to stats given by their coaches. The lay of the land, yardage and condition of the greens is all communicated. After receiving these stats and lining-up the blind golfer, the shot is made. Baker and Dillon had even a larger handicap in the weather conditions. Game play was "cart path only" due to the wet terrain. This made playing more difficult for the blind golfers and their coaches. Taking into account the cold and windy weather, it was made more strenuous for all 11 teams. Nonetheless, all the sighted golfers marveled at the accuracy of Baker’s and Dillon’s shots, especially the finesse around the greens. Wouldn’t you say that Jim Baker and Dan Dillon focus on patience and perseverance? Anything is possible if one has the proper tools. The United States Blind Golf Association (USBGA) was founded in 1953 by blind golfer, Attorney Bob Allman. Today the organization has over 60 blind and vision impaired members playing in three sight categories based on their sight acuity. The USBGA con-

Annually, the USBGA holds more than a dozen clinics for blind and vision impaired youth through its Junior Blind Golf Program. The USBGA also has a Hall of Fame that honors legendary players and contributing organizations. The awards were presented at the “R Place Pub & Grill” by Lake Tansi Pro Matt Phipps. Winning first place with a 14-under-par 58 was Joe Maxwell, Ed DeMars, Marty Mulligan and Roger Rediker. Closest to the pin winners were Marty Smit, Pete Cahill and Faye Lukowski.
The wonderful food was the creation of Sheri Addison, owner of “R Place Pub & Grill,” 103 Country Club Drive, Lake Tansi, which consisted oflinguini chicken alfredo, spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and garlic-cheese Sticks.

A home of their own Work begins on aviary at Cumberland Mountain State Park By Missy Wattenbarger Chronicle lifestyles editor
I
n the wild, birds of prey do not need any type of special accommodations. Once they are injured, however, a new home may be needed for survival. That is the case for the birds at Cumberland Mountain State Park. Work began Saturday, Oct. 18, on a new aviary to house the injured birds used for the park’s educational programs. About 25 volunteers gathered to work on the structure, which is being built behind the park’s campstore. With another workday set for Nov. 8 at 8 a.m., the staff at Cumberland Mountain State Park (CMSP) hopes to have the birds’ new home completed by mid-November. “My ultimate goal for this project was to give the injured birds we have at the park a home where visitors and bird lovers could come and enjoy them whether a program was going on at the park or not,” said Park Ranger Monica Johnson. “By having an aviary, it will also allow each bird to have a larger living space than what they are in right now, allowing them to stretch their wings, exercise and live in a more natural habitat.” The state park currently has four birds in its possession: two barred owls named McKenzie and Pigpen, a red-tailed hawk named Henson and an eastern screech owl named Trillium. Each bird has its own story on how it made its way to the park. McKenzie, the oldest resident at the park, arrived on the scene three years ago when she was brought from Reelfoot Lake State Park for CMSP to use during Junior Ranger camps. Because the other park already had several barred owls, CMSP was able to become McKenzie’s permanent home. “McKenzie was hit by a train in McKenzie County, and the result of her accident was two detached retinas. She doesn’t see well enough to survive on her own,” Johnson explained. Next came Henson, who has been at the park for two years. He came to CMSP from a retired local rehabber, Peggy Benzler. He is blind in his left eye. Benzler was also connected to Trillium’s placement at CMSP. Trillium has been at the state park for 1 1/2 years. “She was rescued by a couple of gentlemen at Lake Tansi,” said Johnson. “Trillium was tangled in fishing line. The
gentlemen brought the screech owl to Peggy for rehab, and when she was declared ‘not releasable,’ she came to us at Cumberland Mountain State Park.” The newest resident is Pigpen, who has been at the park for 10 months. Johnson explained PigPen was brought to her attention after being hit by a vehicle on Taylor’s Chapel Rd. “A local resident got the owl to safety and called me to see if I could help it out. PigPen’s accident resulted in one blind eye,” she said. Thanks to the Friends of Cumberland Mountain State Park, the park was able to obtain small cages for the birds. Without a central location for them, Johnson and fellow park ranger Mark Houston have had to house the birds at their own homes — a sacrifice Johnson was willing to make. “After seeing what an impact the birds have had on our community during our park programs, and how the local schools have reached out to us for programming, I was determined to make sure these educational animals found a permanent home here at Cumberland Mountain State Park,” she said. That’s when Johnson came up with the idea for the aviary. She explained she has dreamed about building one for a couple of years now but was unsure how to go about obtaining the money to make it a reality. She was pleased when a local high schooler decided to lend a hand. “I began taking a donation box to events last winter to work toward making this happen,” she said. “I ran into Sue Mathis back in the spring of this year, and she... mentioned her son, Aden, and his foundation.” Aden Mathis, the son of Clark and Sue Mathis, is a 15-year-old student at Cumberland County High School. Nearly five years ago, he started Aden’s Project to help families staying at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Knoxville. At the time, he took it upon himself, along with help from his brother, C.J., to gather candy and bring Halloween to a sick boy and others staying at RMH. Since then, he has helped families at the facility in different capacities and has branched out to assist other families and groups in this community with fund raising. “We have always helped with projects at the park with the Boy Scouts [Troop 374] and knew Monica Johnson was trying to raise funds

Donations are still needed for other parts of the project. for the birds of prey program,” said Sue Mathis. “When we asked how the project was going, she told us that she had only over $100 towards it.” Aden Mathis decided to help bring in funds to make the project obtainable and agreed to make sure the park had the materials needed for the project. He and his family are also part of the volunteers helping with the construction of the aviary. “I was thrilled to have someone willing to help the Friends group reach out to other people in the community for help in making my vision become a reality,” said Johnson. Aden Mathis kicked off the fundraising in August with a Meet the Owls event at Kroger. He also brought in the first donation of $1,000, courtesy of Woodmen of the World, and was able to obtain other smaller donations. The Friends group, along with the seasonal interpretive rangers, set up a booth at the Cumberland County Fair to collect more funds for the
aviary project. Johnson also set up at the recent Hit the Trails event in Fairfield Glade and has spoken about the project to several large groups that have come to the park over the past three months. “On top of us going to events and informing people about the project, we also made flyers and handed them out to everyone we’ve seen or has asked us about the birds,” said Johnson. “We also had flyers at our park restaurant, our park office and our campstore for people who were interested in the project and wanted to contribute. We ran articles in the newspaper and had a segment on the local radio stations. I also put the project on our park’s Facebook page. By reaching out in multiple ways, we started receiving an amazing response.” Thanks to the efforts of everyone involved, the state park was able to reach its goal of $6,000 a week before ground was broken for the construction of the aviary. According to Johnson, most of the donations
were generated from the flyers or were mailed in to the Friends group. The $6,000 only covers the construction of the aviary enclosure. Donations are still needed for signage for each bird’s sanctuary, fencing around the structure, cleaning supplies for each flight cage, new gloves for handling the birds and new jesses (tethers), bird baths, perches, nesting boxes and food for each bird. “So anyone who still wants to help with this project can still do so,” said Johnson. “Anyone who donates $50 or more will have their name on
the plaque that will be displayed in front of the aviary upon completion in appreciation for giving back to the park.” Donations may be mailed to Cumberland Mountain State Park, Attn: Bird of Prey Program, 24 Office Dr., Crossville, TN 38555. Please make checks payable to Friends of Cumberland Mountain State Park.

National Park Service to host science meeting Wednesday Do you know what bats, bears and cobblebars have in common? To find out, attend the National Park Service’s public science meeting Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the theater in Rugby. Everyone is invited to attend this free meeting beginning at 8 a.m. (Eastern time) and continuing throughout the day. Distinguished faculty from area universities and agencies will present their findings on a wide range of research topics including geolo-
gy, hydrology, biology, anthropology and aquatic ecology. Among them will be: • Dr. Ryan Sharp, Eastern Kentucky University, discussing the interface of social science, natural systems and community engagement • Dr. Kandace Hollenbach, University of Tennessee, and Dr. Jay Franklin, Eastern Tennessee State University, presenting the findings of their archaeological inves-
tigations at Big South Fork, Obed Wild and Scenic River and the Southern Cumberland Plateau • Tim Higgs, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, discussing regional efforts to protect the endangered tuxedo darter • Dr. William Wolfe and Rodney Knight, U.S. Geological Survey, discussing the hydrology of the Obed and Cumberland streams • Dr. Robert Hatcher, University of Tennessee, revealing his recent
geologic mapping effort of the Obed Wild and Scenic River The overall goal of the public meeting is to increase understanding of the ecosystems of the parks, enhance communication and collaboration among researchers, and encourage future scientific investigations. Poster presentations at the end of the workshop will provide an opportunity for less formal dialogue with the scientists. “Our hope is that participants
will leave the meeting and poster session with a greater knowledge of the amazing natural and cultural resources protected by the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and the Obed Wild and Scenic River,” said Niki Stephanie Nicholas, park superintendent.

You don’t have to be a football fan to admire Peyton Manning Amidst all of the Ebola, ISIS, fires, murders, weather incidents and accident reports, it is nice to hear a feel good news story every now and then. That is how I feel about our former University of Tennessee Quarterback Peyton Manning and his touchdown passbreaking record news earlier this week. Manning has, as of Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, thrown more touchdown passes than any other National Football League quarterback ever. And, in true Manning fashion, he did it before halftime. Any more TD passes he completes this year, he is simply breaking his own record. Manning threw his first professional football touchdown pass (as opposed to throwing for board and books) in the 1998 season. He broke Brett Favre’s 508 touchdown pass record sixteen years later. We saw one sports report prior to the game with an NFL lineman, didn’t get his name, who says he has caught one football in his football career and that was a pass from Manning — one of the few times the coach had him line up as a fullback. He said he was the only open receiver when Manning hit him for a touchdown pass. I would like to say the guy ran it into the end zone, but if you know offensive lineman, they are so massive it
Jan Boston Sellers
Around the Town is often difficult for them to run fast. Anyway, he catches the pass and gets into the end zone saying to himself, “Don’t drop the ball. Don’t drop the ball.” He said, “I never caught a pass in high school. I never caught a pass in college. My first pass/catch is from Manning. I had him autograph the football, and it is one of my most prized possessions.” You don’t have to be a UT, Denver Broncos or even an Indianapolis Colts fan to appreciate Peyton Manning. Even if you don’t — and I, of course, can’t imagine why you wouldn’t — like him, you must admit the man has a great work ethic. Sidelined for the 2011 season after a neck injury, there was some speculation he wouldn’t play again. He was released from the Colts after 14 seasons and 399 TD passes and moved out to the Rocky Mountains. Manning, it seems, plays well in orange, racking up another 110 touchdown passes while playing for the Mile High City’s professional team. The most shocking thing to me about all of this is that Manning didn’t win college
football’s most prestigious award, the Heisman Trophy. He lost to Michigan’s Charles Woodson in 1997, a defensive back and wide receiver. And speaking of football, the Stone Memorial Panthers’ last regular season home game and senior night is Friday night. SMHS will host District 6AAA foe White County. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. The Cumberland County High School Jets will be on the road this Friday night. They travel to Grundy County. Meanwhile, the University of Tennessee will host highly ranked Alabama in an SEC game on Saturday night at Neyland Stadium. *** There are at least three big pre-Halloween events planned in the county before Halloween weekend. Starting this Saturday at 3 p.m. at Cumberland Mountain State Park is the fourth annual trunk or treat sponsored by Cumberland Good Samaritans and Linary Church of Christ. The event will include trunk or treating, a puppet show, face painting, costume contest, hay rides and pumpkin carving. Guests are asked to park in the pool parking lot. This free event lasts until 7 p.m. If you need additional information, call 484-6138. Wednesday, Oct. 29, is the annual fall festival sponsored by Cumberland Fel-
lowship. Held at the Cumberland County Community Complex, this year’s event is slated to include a bouncy park, covering the entire fair midway area; games; hayrides; prizes; and food. It will start at 6 and last until 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, is the annual Say Boo to Drugs Party and Costume Contest at the TAD Center. Held in conjunction with National Red Ribbon Drug Awareness Week, this event features games, prizes, refreshments and a costume contest.

Ascension Lutheran Church
By Patricia Streng Chronicle contributor
God has richly endowed us with the gospel of Christ to call others into His kingdom. In the parable of the tenants in Matthew 21:3343, the Lord shows incredible patience with those who abuse their responsibility to care for the Lord’s Church. God rightfully insists on fruits. But each of His messengers met with harsh rejection until, finally, the Son is murdered. Those who have rejected their Savior, Jesus Christ, will be destroyed and God will give the kingdom to others who will produce fruit. Please join us every Sunday morning for Bible study at 9:15 and Worship Service at 10:30. Wednesday Bible study is at 10:00 am. Ascension Lutheran Church is located at 426 Sparta Drive, Crossville, the Rev. Robert Krueger, Pastor. Call 787-1066 or visit www.ascensioncrossville.org.
Bethlehem Baptist Church
By Cyndi Burton Chronicle contributor
This week’s message came from Psalm 85:1-6 and was about preparing our hearts for revival, with emphasis in verse 6, will you not revive us again. Revival is Him restoring his own people; it’s when God gives us repentance. Repentance helps break up the fallow group in our heart. We don’t usually like breaking the ground, especially if we are the ones who need to be broken. We need a separation of sin and to return to the foot of the cross. Have you forgotten the cost of your sin? Cry out to Him. When you are in the presence of God, you will know it. Join Bethlehem for revival Oct. 26-29, Sunday through Wednesday at 6 p.m. All are welcome. SS is at 9 a.m. Morning worship at 10:15 a.m. Evening worship at 6 p.m. Wednesday prayer meeting/Awana at 6 p.m. Go to bethlehemonline.org.

Pastor Tom Chandler read scripture from Exodus 33:12-23. His message titled, “Up Close and Personal.” Moses was a reluctant leader of God’s people, but he was a man of action and determination. In this passage we learn three valuable lessons. We learn that God shapes us, the powerful presence of God, and let God be seen through our good deeds. Moses recognized that he needed God’s help, so he asked him for it. God uses many people to further his kingdom. God first prepares us, and then He uses us! If we are aware of God’s presence, we will appreciate even the simplest things in our lives. God’s love and mercy are truly wonderful gifts, to benefit from them we must choose to get up close and personal with God. Adult Bible class starts at 10 a.m. with Pastor Tom Chandler leading. Worship follows at 11 a.m. Everyone is truly invited.

Church of Christ in the Glade
By Marilyn Poertner Chronicle contributor
Brother Jesse Jackson based his comments on Ecclesiastes 12:13, “...Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” He identified the primary goal of all Christians as to get to Heaven themselves, and the second goal is to get others to Heaven. Christ’s Great Commission is inclusive but often church programs do not reach non-members. God’s model for conversion includes 1) explicit commands; 2) implicit commands; 3) divinely approved examples. In Christ’s great prayer recorded in John 17, He prays for unity of all believers (v 21). Acts 6: 7-9, Acts 7 (Stephen), Acts 13: 16-31 (Paul). In Matthew 23:37, Jesus states of the people of Jerusalem, “...how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” Each of us must be willing to hear, understand, and accept God’s Word before conversion can take place.

In today’s message, This Thing I Do for You, Pastor Danny emphasized that God does not do things to us but for us, so that we may chose to accept Him and allow Him to work through us for good. Often, like today, the Sunday School message, the Scripture reading, and the Sermon (John 1), all independently planned, speak to the same passage of God’s word. If you are a Christian, you are are a light for God ‘s word. Want to know more about God and His plan for your salvation, come visit COCC.

Luke 22:31-34 “When Thou Art Converted.” Everyone is going to have some grinding in their life like Peter was “sifted like wheat.” If it hasn’t happened to you yet, and it’s not happening now, then it’s coming. The grinding won’t kill you, but it will make you stronger. There are three areas where Peter turns again and comes back spiritually through this grinding. He loses his joy, peace and satisfaction. The fear of man will be hard on your faith, along with your own pride. John 20:1-10 & 21:1-21. Peter quit the faith and went back to fishing, and God still took care of him. No matter what Peter does, God still loves him and takes care of him. God is showing Peter that Peter needs Him everyday through all the things Peter goes through in life. Don’t worry about what God is doing for anyone else. Worry about only your relationship with the Lord.

“God Knows You By Name”—Exodus 3:1-15 Our guest speaker this morning was Holly Neal, who reiterated the story of Moses, the man. In the land of Midian, God called to Moses by name and told him the he was going back to Egypt to lead the Israelites out of slavery. Moses questioned God and that He knew his name. Our identity is wrapped up in our name and isn’t it amazing that God knows each of our names out of millions of people? He understands what goes on in our lives and is a very present influence every day. He wants to have a personal and intimate relationship with each of us. Through the Holy Spirit, God gives our lives direction so that we can follow our calling in this world. God is calling you. Will you answer with the gifts you have been uniquely given?

Ask yourself, How can I show God’s love? The answer is by using your talents in service to others. Remember the commandments, be real with everyone you come in contact with. Jesus talked about letting people know they have a purpose in life, be a reflection of Him. Put yourself out of your comfort zone, there are many hurting people that you can serve. Place yourself in their place and remember that but for the Grace of God you could be there too. Do not ask if they deserve it just show you care and please God by your service not yourself.

Sunday, Pastor Moran’s Communion message “Sanity Demands A Creator” referenced Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:1 and John 1:1-3. The Trinity created all that is. Simply put, sanity demands a creator. The USA, indeed the entire world is turning away from God, and that is causing the chaos, moral decay and evil that’s so rampant worldwide today. Insane is another word for foolish. The scriptures are explicit in their definition of a ‘fool’; a fool is anyone who does not believe in the existence and the power of the almighty, creative and sovereign God. God holds this universe together. Modern science is just our best attempt at explaining His Creation and ongoing power. Do you acknowledge Him as your Creator and God?

tion joyfully welcomed Bro. Kevin Carter, called from Aiken, SC, to serve as First Baptist’s senior pastor. In his sermon, he related how God brought Noah through the storm, out of the ark, and gave them a promise, a covenant. He would never flood the earth again. God brought First Baptist through the storm, the battles, to reach the mountain top and show others. It’s our responsibility to remain faithful, to bring others to Christ. He said, Matthew 28:16, a part of the Great Commission, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Sunday school is 9:30 a.m.; worship, 10:30 a.m.; evening service, 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

First Presbyterian Church
By John Peterson Chronicle contributor
The apostle Paul spent about three years in the city of Ephesus. Starting with just twelve men, the church reached all of Asia (Acts 19:1-10). People were transformed (Acts 19:11-12). So many left their old ways that those who profited from pagan worship caused a riot (Acts 19:23-41). Paul warned the elders to watch out (Acts 20: 28-31). A few years later he wrote to them (Ephesians) and later sent Timothy to lead revitalization through the basics of doing church (I Timothy). Thirty years
later, Jesus called the church to remember, repent, and recover their former deeds or perish (Revelation 2:1-7). The Reformation didn’t begin or end in the 1500s. Join us for continued reformation this Sunday at 10:45 a.m. Come a little earlier for Sunday school (all ages) at 9:30 a.m. First Presbyterian Church: Bringing the Bible to life.

Oct. 19 was laity Sunday. Instead of a regular sermon, church members told about a certain time in their lives when God was especially with them. Lay leader, Perk Thornton, introduced the speakers, Cosby Stone, Frances Carson, and Gregg and Nancy Nowell. The inspiring stories they told reminded us that we are not alone when facing difficult times. God is with us when we call on Him and depend on His guidance and comfort. We said goodbye to our dear member, Katherine Reese, who is moving to Nashville to be close to her daughter. October is Pastor Appreciation Month. We had a special prayer for our pastors and staff. Spirit Fest is coming here Oct. 31. We have bins now for donations of candy and small toys for prizes for the many children who will be visiting us. We appreciate your donations.

Matthew 15:21-28, Philippians 4:13, and Psalm 119:105 Pastor Chesson preached about “Honesty Enables the Miraculous!” The Gentiles were rejected and considered as dogs at one time. In Matthew it tells of a woman who tried to approach the Master with a need, not knowing He really knew who she was. When she approached Him, could it be Jesus wanted her to be honest with herself? Could it be we don’t have our prayers and healings because we are not honest with ourselves? He wanted to help this woman, and He desires to meet all of our needs as well. However, He wants us to be honest with Him and ourselves. We need to put the spotlight on our soul, and see ourselves as He sees us. There is nothing hidden from Him. His word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light to our path. Know yourself as He sees you!

“The Best Argument for Christianity” was the title of Pastor David’s message, with scripture found in Psalms 69:1-7. Every Christian casts a shadow for others to see. We Christians influence others and our lives are examples. God gives instructions in Luke 17: 1-10. Someone is watching our lives and the example that we live. Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world”....”Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Bring your family for our free Fall Festival this Saturday, Oct. 25, 3-7 p.m. We’ll have hot dogs, hamburgers, candy, etc., games, and fun for all!

Pastor Kenneth Clayton said if we were in Houston, he would probably be put in jail, but he would never water down the word of God found in our Holy Bible. These are not men’s words, but God’s words. The call for sermons is in direct violation of First Amendment rights.

This Sunday service began with “The Longer I Serve Him.” The acolytes were Bryan Thomas Selby and Ethan Dixon. Bro. Louis encouraged the children to collect money from
the congregation for needy families. Bro. Louis’s message titled “Will He Find Faith?” was read from Luke 18:18. The unjust judge granted the widow her request. He didn’t believe in God nor regard man, yet he fulfilled her wish. How much more does our Lord love us? Sometimes we get let down by promises made by people. Sometimes we feel let down by God. People have waited for years on the Lord’s return. “Jesus where are you?” People have wondered and we still wonder today. Jesus gives us hope. He told us that he goes to prepare a place for us and he will come back for us. Continue to trust in God. He is faithful even when man isn’t. Service concluded with a hayride, pumpkin carving, and chili supper.

disease, but also the debilitating effects of cancer treatment on her skin, hair, nails and general appearance. These changes in appearance often affect a woman’s self-esteem, and many need help coping with the physical side effects of treatment. Licensed beauty professionals from all parts of the country are using their skills and positive energy to make a difference in these women’s lives. Working with the Look Good Feel Better program, specially trained beauty professionals help female cancer patients rescue their appearance and selfimage from the ravages of cancer treatment by teaching them hands-on beauty
and skin care techniques. As a result, patients feel better because they look good. According to the American Cancer Society, there are dozens of anti-cancer drugs in use today, each with its own set of side effects. Possible appearance-related effects of chemotherapy and radiation include hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows, or lashes; weight gain or loss; changes in skin pigmentation and texture; skin oiliness, itchiness or peeling; and alterations in nail texture and growth rate.

Karyn Henderson, of Rockwood, is surviving. She works for the Cumberland County School system as an occupational therapist. Hard working and very active, Henderson liked to participate in Susan G. Komen 5K races and Buddy Walks. But last winter, at the age of 38, Henderson found a lump that she thought might be a cyst. She made an appointment with her general practitioner who planned an ultrasound and would then drain the cyst. “They don’t start mammograms until you’re 40,” said Henderson. “And I was 38 at the time. My doctor and I both thought it was a cyst.” But, when the ultrasound technician called in the radiologist, she became alarmed. The radiologist redid the ultrasound and things began to happen very quickly. The events following her diagnosis rearranged her entire existence. She was diagnosed with stage three ATR-2, an aggressive cancer that up until that point was not treatable. “Within two weeks, I was starting chemo,” Henderson stated. “A new drug had just been approved two weeks before I started treatments for that type of cancer.” She was informed the cancer was already present in her lymph nodes and had a six centimeter tumor. For her aggressive cancer, the aggressive new drug was administered. The chemotherapy was a cocktail of four different medicines that she took in six sessions every three weeks to reinforce her treatments and attack her disease. She lost her hair, her energy and her appetite, but not her drive. That regimen plus a double mastectomy and radiation treatments were a part of her fight and her survival.

She didn’t have to bear the burden alone. Her parents, brother, friends, and church family made sure of that. “I had a very good support system,” Henderson noted. “They would take me to my chemo treatments. My dad stayed a lot and my mom would stay nights with me after treatments.” She did struggle, though. She was fortunate that the treatments didn’t make her nauseas, but the mere thought or smell of food made it all the more difficult and something else with which she had to cope. “I was so hungry, but nothing was appetizing. I found that the only things I could eat were anything with tomatoes and Yoplait
yogurt,” said Henderson. “I still struggle to put food back in my diet.” The fight isn’t over for Henderson. She is healing from her surgery, still undergoing daily radiation and is still on a precautionary chemotherapy regimen, albeit somewhat less stringent. She has found some things to still be true, to still be wonderful, to continue to live in the midst all the madness. In order to achieve that, she found that staying busy was the solution for her. It was a semblance of normality, a way to keep what was still hers and not allow the cancer to be the biggest part of her life. Although she had to slow her work down and take off for her surgery, she worked as much as she could, traveled often and shopped. Family and friends were never far away. She had to remember not to push too hard because there would be days, especially after her chemo treatments, that she wouldn’t feel well. She had to allow herself to not feel well and let herself off the hook. “It was hard because I would get so tired,” Henderson said. “My endurance was lower than I needed it to be, but I learned to take a break when I can.” Henderson learned a great many things. She learned what was important and reprioritized accordingly. She learned to appreciate her family and friends See humor page 10B

Chemo, hormonal treatments help stop spread of cancer cells, prevent recurrance By Heather Mullinix Chronicle assistant editor
When a diagnosis of cancer is made, a medical oncologist can guide areas of treatment through powerful medication and longterm follow-up. “Medical oncologists are oftentimes the captain of the ship when it comes to treating not only breast cancer patients but a lot of other cancer patients,” said Dr. Mark Hendrixson. Patients may see an oncologist before they have surgery or after, depending on the type of breast cancer they are diagnosed with. The oncologist will review testing, results of surgery, and other factors to help recommend treatment regimens. Lymph node testing that shows the presence of cancer cells generally means more aggressive treatment, including powerful medications that help to destroy cancer cells in other parts of the body, stop cancer from spreading to other parts of the body, slow cancer growth and relieve symptoms of cancer. “Treatment is less and less one-size-fits-all,” said Dr. Dirk Davidson. “When I came here 10 years ago, any woman I saw, of any age, who had a tumor a half-inch or bigger, even if the lymp nodes were negative, we generally said you really should take chemo because we really don’t know.” Oncotype testing can also be used to help determine likelihood of recurrence in patients with early stage breast cancer. In this test, tumor samples are analyzed for the expression of 21 genes to provide a
score for the patient that predicts the potential for breast cancer recurrence and the likelihood that chemotherapy would benefit the patient. “Someone could come in with a large tumor and positive lymph nodes. In the past we would have said, ‘We’re going to hit you as hard as we can,’” Davidson said. “Now, we can take this test and it will tell us, pretty accurately, what their real risk of recurrence is so that they can make an educated decision.” Sometimes, chemotherapy is used prior to surgery to help shrink large tumors or with advanced HER-2 positive breast cancer. “Most drugs enter the market in the metastatic setting,” Hendrixson said. “You wouldn’t put a newly diagnosed woman on experimental drugs when there are standard treatments. Most drugs enter through trials that have proven they are of benefit to women with advanced cancers.” Those trials can show the drug has a great deal of promise for patients at all stage of the disease and become a commonly prescribed regimen, such as Herceptin. “That drug was moved up into adjuvant therapy (treatment following surgery to lower the risk of cancer returning), and now all of the sudden, a whole group of women we though had a pretty bad prognosis were not that bad,” Davidson said. “Just by getting this drug after their surgery, you could make their prognosis much better.” There are additional drugs added to the regimen that have just become

available in the past two years. Those trials are also how Tamoxifen, a hormone blocking medication, entered the treatment regimen, showing that it slowed or stopped the growth of cancer cells in the body. The typical treatment for breast cancer is intravenous with Cytoxan and Adriamycin. These drugs have been around for some time, with generic options available. Treatments are given, usually, with four rounds at three-week intervals followed by 12 weekly treatments, for a total of about six months. Davidson suggests patients have their Vitamin D levels checked, as well, and take steps to remedy any deficiencies. “If you fix it, your chances of a recurrence are going to be less,” Davidson said. Bone-strengthen ing medications could also help, as well. “Smaller studies have suggested this,” Davidson said. Chemotherapy does have significant side effects, such as loss of hair, hot flashes, dry and sensitive skin, stomach upset
and inflammation. Some patients experience a mental fog, also called “chemo brain,” where their shortterm memory seems unreliable. It can be a side effect of decreased female hormones as well as stress, fatigue, anxiety and other factors. For most, these symptoms resolve when treatment is complete. “Quality of life is important,” Hendrixson said. “That’s a personal choice for the patient. “Nothing is dictated. Everything is discussed. Patients always have the option of saying, ‘I don’t think that’s for me.’” Hendrixson said. Following chemotherapy, patients may be referred to radiation oncologists for radiation therapy, which lasts about six weeks. Then, they return to the medical oncologist for hormonal treatment. “We manage patients through their hormonal treatments,” Hendrixson said of drugs that can block hormones that, in some patients, fuel the growth of cancer cells. Tamoxifen, Arimidex, Aromasin and Femara are among the commonly used drugs that stop the hormones from getting to
breast cancer cells. Those will continue five to ten years, with studies showing a statistical advantage to the longer therapy. “If you’re taking a pill and there’s no side effects, who isn’t going to take that advantage?” Davidson said. One form of breast cancer is the triple negative tumors, which are not receptive to hormones or HER-2. It’s an aggressive form of cancer that is treated with chemotherapy aggressively. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer which began in the breast but has spread to other organs in the body. It is also called stage IV or advanced breast cancer. About 10 percent of new diagnosis are stage IV breast cancer. Though the disease has spread, the drugs used to fight breast cancer are used to help slow progression of the disease and treat symptoms. Davidson said, “You might first put people on drugs and control it for a number of years without needing chemotherapy.” He doesn’t recommend combinations of drugs in most cases, which can lead to more harsh side effects. “You can pick an agent and use it as long as it works or they have side effects,” Davidson said. “If you find agents that aren’t toxic to them individually, they live a lot better.” Hendrixson said, “We do have a lot more options today than we did five or seven years ago. “Hopefully with continued genomic testing, small molecule drugs, we’ll have the ability to let women live even longer with a better quality of life.”
The medical oncologist is with his patient throughout treatment and into survivorship, helping to spot possible recurrence early and spearhead long-term follow up. Starting out, patients are see every three months following the completion of chemotherapy. That decreases over time to six months for the duration of hormonal therapy and two years afterward. After that, patients can continue to be seen on a yearly basis for a follow-up. “People are at risk for second malignancies,” Hendrixson said. “Breast cancer is one of the few cancers we do see that can crop up past that five-year magic window. It’s uncommon, thank goodness, but it does happen. That’s why I think it’s good to be vigilant for women who have had breast cancer.” One concern for patients is if their loved ones will be at risk for developing cancer, particularly daughters. Hendrixson said more women can access genetic testing for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation, an uncommon mutation that dramatically increases the chance of developing breast and ovarian cancers or dealing with recurrent cancer. “Anyone under 50 who is diagnosed really should have that testing done,” Hendrixson said. “It not only helps them, it helps their immediate descendants as well as even nieces know if they are potentially at risk.”
after they have gone through menopause. Mucinous carcinoma is a less aggressive type of breast cancer than others and is less likely than other types to spread to the lymph nodes. As a result, it typically responds well to treatment.
the nipple and areola can and likely will become irritated, itchy, red, and scaly when a person has Paget’s disease, and these signs may be the first indicators that breast cancer is present. While Paget’s disease of the nipple is rare, the National Cancer Institute notes the importance of recognizing its symptoms, as 97 percent of people with Paget’s disease also have cancer elsewhere in the breast. Though the NCI notes that Paget’s disease can develop in both men and women, it is more common in women, among whom the average age for diagnosis is 62.

Learn about lesser-known breast cancers Many people have been touched by breast cancer. Whether you have dealt with your own diagnosis or that of a friend or family member, the prevalence of breast cancer has left few people without a story to tell about a personal experience with this potentially deadly disease. According to Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to proving reliable, complete and upto-date information about breast cancer, roughly one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her life, while the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation notes the figures are slightly more optimistic in Canada, where one in nine women is expected to develop the disease during her lifetime. Many of the women who develop breast cancer will be diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, or IDC,
which the National Breast Cancer Foundation notes is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for between 70 and 80 percent of all diagnoses. While women and even men who develop breast cancer are most likely to be diagnosed with IDC, there are less common forms of breast cancer, and learning about these rare cancers may help save your life or that of a loved one.
Medullary carcinoma
Though medullary carcinoma diagnoses are rare, this is an invasive type of breast cancer that begins in the milk duct and spreads beyond it. The tumor that forms when a person has medullary carcinoma is a soft and fleshy mass. Medullary carcinoma cells typically appear like aggressive, abnormal cancer cells, but these cells do not grow quickly and often do not
spread outside the breast to the lymph nodes, which makes medullary carcinoma a relatively easy cancer to treat. Medullary carcinoma can occur at any age, though it typically affects women in their late 40s and early 50s.
cases of breast cancer before doctors feel a lump. Tubular carcinoma may feel less like a lump and more like a cushiony area of breast tissue.
Tubular carcinoma
Mucinous carcinoma is also a rare type of IDC in which tumors are made up of abnormal cells in mucin, which is a part of mucus. Many types of cancer cells, including the majority of breast cancer cells, produce some mucus, which lines most of the inner surface of the normal human body. But when a person is diagnosed with mucinous carcinoma, the mucin has become part of the tumor, so when examined under a microscope, the cancer cells appear to be scattered in pools of mucus. Mucinous cancer can affect people at any age, though it is especially rare in men and most often diagnosed in women
Tubular carcinoma is a type of IDC that starts as small, tube-shaped structures known as tubules that appear similar to normal, healthy cells. Tubular carcinoma cells grow slowly and are unlikely to spread outside of the breast, and, for that reason, tubular carcinoma typically responds well to treatment. Though tubular carcinoma once accounted for a very small percentage of breast cancer diagnoses, they are now being diagnosed more often, thanks in large part to the prevalence of screening mammography that has been catching
Mucinous carcinoma
Healthy habits can lower risk Certain types of cancer are more likely to strike certain types of people than others. For example, while men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, women are far more likely to develop the disease. But just because a person’s risk of developing cancer is low, that does not make that person immune from the disease. As a result, it’s important that men and women take steps to lower their cancer risk. One of the more effective ways to lower your risk for cancer is to ensure your lifestyle choices are as healthy as possible. Choosing habits that benefit your short- and long-term health can reduce your risk for cancer and a host of additional ailments. • Maintain a healthy weight. According to the American Cancer Society, men and women who are
overweight or obese are at a greater risk of several types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, breast, kidney, and thyroid. The National Cancer Institute defines obesity as someone with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or above, while someone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight or shedding excess weight if you are already at an elevated risk for cancer can lower your risk for cancer and other potentially debilitating diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. • Quit smoking. Smokers might be surprised to learn that tobacco use, according to the ACS, is responsible for nearly 20 percent of all deaths in the United States. That might have something to do with tobacco’s role in
causing more than a dozen types of cancer and its link to heart disease, emphysema and stroke. But smoking can even harm nonsmokers unfortunate enough to spend time in the vicinity of smokers. Such nonsmokers take in nicotine and thousands
of additional chemicals, including carbon monoxide and cadmium, a chemical element used in batteries, when people smoke near them. In addition, a study published in the New England Journal of MediSee habits page 9B

Radiation treatments offers option for breast conserving surgery By Heather Mullinix Chronicle assistant editor
Targeted radiation treatment is another step in the treatment of breast cancer, used following surgery to fight any cancer cells that may be left in or around the breast. Not all patients will need radiation treatment, though it can be part of treatment in cases where a patient has elected to have a lumpectomy to remove a tumor and radiation to conserve the breast or, in a few cases, after mastectomy “We offer external beam radiation therapy here,” explained Dr. Zach Fowler said. “The conventional treatment is a sixand-a-half-week course, with 33 treatments.” Radiation therapy does require treatments Monday through Friday over the course of several

weeks, but Cumberland Medical Center’s Regional Cancer Center is able to provide that service to patients in the area, saving time and energy in driving to other regional centers. “The benefits of radiation treatment depend on the cancer stage and other treatments they are having,” explained Fowler. “Of course, the general rule is the earlier it is found, the more successful
treatment is. That’s why we want women to get their screening mammograms.” In some cases, additional treatments may be necessary, but Fowler said that happens only rarely. A less common regimen includes 16 treatments, but there are nine criteria patients must meet to be candidates for this treatment. “It’s not done very
often,” Fowler said. Another type of radiation treatment is partial breast radiation, which is not offered in Crossville. If a patient needs that treatment, however, the CMC Regional Cancer Center’s affiliation with Thompson Cancer Survival Centers allows for easy referral to sites in Knoxville offering that service. Studies over the past 30 years or more have established the benefits of radiation therapy following a lumpectomy for patients who wish to conserve their breast, Fowler said. But patients can still reap the benefits of a mastectomy following lumpectomy and radiation therapy, if needed. “There’s no penalty for trying to go the breast conservation route initially,” he said. Patients often ask if it is safe for them to be around
other people following treatments. “There is no lasting radioactivity,” said Fowler. Radiation treatment takes about 15 minutes, most of which is spent adjusting patients on the table. The beam is on for
just a few minutes. CMC offers an Elekta Synergy linear accelerator. “It gives us a very good range of photons and electrons to use for treatment,” Fowler said. “It gives us See OPTION page 10B

Reconstruction after surgery Apart from certain skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, particularly American women. It does not segregate based on race and ethnicity or even gender, as men can be diagnosed with breast cancer as well. Depending on the location of the cancer, its pervasiveness and the patient’s family history, various breast cancer treatments are available. A combination of radiation and chemotherapy may be necessary, but surgery may ultimately be the best option. Cancer removal surgery involves the surgical removal of breast tissue. Sometimes the nipple and the skin can be spared, but other times the entire breast and even the lymph nodes under the arm must be removed. Many women who undergo mastectomy procedures choose to have some sort of post-surgery breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction employs plastic surgery to restore a breast to near-normal shape and appearance following a mastectomy. A few different procedures may be needed to reconstruct the breast, and surgery on the other breast may be done to improve symmetry. According to Cancer
Treatment Centers of America, many women are eligible to begin reconstruction at the time of mastectomy, which can reduce the number of surgical procedures women must endure and can eliminate time spent without a breast.
or buttocks to rebuild the breast. Fat, muscle and skin may be taken from the donation area of the body and used to rebuild the breast. A combination of body tissue and implant is sometimes necessary to perform the reconstruction.
Types of reconstructive surgery
Nipple and areola reconstruction
Reconstructive surgery generally falls into two different groups: Implantbased and autologous flap reconstructions. With implant-based reconstruction, a permanent implant is inserted to reform the breast. Some women may need to use a tissue expander for several weeks prior to the insertion of an implant. The tissue expander is gradually filled with fluid and helps stretch the skin to create a space for the implant. Others may not need the tissue expander and can have the implant inserted immediately. This is called a single-stage reconstruction. The majority of breast implants used today are filled with sterile saline, but silicone gel implants also are available. Autologous flap reconstructions use tissue from the stomach, back, thighs,
After the breast has been reconstructed, patients may want to have a nipple and areola added for a more natural look, particularly if these parts of the breast were removed in the original mastectomy. Skin grafting, in which skin is taken from elsewhere on the body to best match the color and texture of the breast, is often used to reconstruct the nipple and areola. Sometimes a nipple sharing reconstructive technique is used if the healthy breast has a large nipple and areolar complex. Tattoos to create the appearance of an areola and nipple may be designed to forgo the need for skin grafting.
What to expect
In the early stages of treatment, patients will meet with plastic surgeons to develop the best plan of action. Together they will discuss goals for reconstruc-

Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children, as kids whose parents smoke around them get bronchitis and pneumonia more often than kids whose parents abstain from smoking in their presence. • Exercise regularly. The NCI notes that there is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon. More than 60 studies published in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have indicated that physically active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than inactive women, with some active women reducing their risk by as much as 80 percent. Studies conducted around the world have produced similar findings with regard to colon cancer. Research has consistently indicated that adults who increase their physical activity, be it in intensity, duration or frequency, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent relative to
Regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon. adults who are sedentary. The ACS suggests adults include at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity in their weekly routines, though many studies have found that 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is the most effective way to reduce cancer risk significantly. • Reduce alcohol consumption. While many adults may be quick to point out the benefits that a glass of wine can have with regard to a person’s risk of heart disease or stroke, the National Toxicology Pro-
gram of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as recently as 2011 listed the consumption of alcoholic beverages as a known human carcinogen. Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for various types of cancers, including head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer. Adults who continue to consume alcohol should do so in moderation, which the ACS defines as no more than two drinks per day for men and no more than one drink per day for women.
tion and how many procedures may be necessary. The potential risks and a prognosis will be discussed. Women should realize that, while breast reconstruction has advanced and can successfully rebuild the breast, there are some side effects. Visible incision lines will likely be present on the breast and any area of the body that provided donor tissue. The reconstructed breast may not be exactly symmetrical to the other breast, provided no work was done on the healthy breast. The reconstructed breast will not have the same feel and sensation as it once did, and healing may take several weeks, during which the breast shape and position will improve. A breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery for treatment can be lifealtering. Thanks to advancements in plastic surgery, many women can opt for reconstruction and restore their figures to resemble what they were prior to being diagnosed.

“I want to pass that on.” Her advice is as sound as her disposition and as musical as her sweet voice. To the patient, Henderson said, “Take it day by day, and take care not to let things be overwhelming. I struggled with this, but it’s okay to ask for help and let people help you. Don’t hurt for no reason. If you are hurting ask your doctor what you can and cannot take. It could be as simple as taking ibuprofen. Pray and have a support list ready because it’s really nice when you have people acting as an information tree to relay progresses and updates for you.” For those who are the support system, Henderson said, “I didn’t need much.

used because it allows the rapidly reproducing cancer cells to be damaged by the radiation while normal cells have time to recover before the next treatment. It limits exposure to normal cells and decreases side effects. Fowler meets with patients and reviews the side effects patients may experience before they begin treatment. “We go through that in detail when I first see them and all through their course,” Fowler said. Radiation treatment does have short-term and long-term side effects that are possible, including skin reaction around the breast and under the arm, fatigue and, rarely, nausea. “That’s uncommon,” he said. Skin changes can be long-lasting, with skin taking on the appearance of a sun tan or becom-
ing tough. The soft tissue could contract, and the combination of surgery and radiation could lead to the treated breast being smaller than before. “It’s a fairly easy treatment to go through for the patient,” Fowler said. “The skin reaction is the most common side effect for patients, so we always cover skin care recommendations.” Patients are advised to limit their sun exposure and avoid shaving or using chemical deodorant during treatment. Loosefitting clothing helps decrease irritation and avoiding heavily chlorinated water, such as from public pools or hot tubs, is recommended. On the mornings of treatments, skin should be free of oils or lotions. Prior to meeting with Fowler, patients have expressed anxiety because they don’t know what to
expect as they move into the new stage of treatment. “Once they see Dr. Fowler, their stress levels decrease greatly,” said Trish Vaughn, nurse navigator at CMC. “They know what’s going to happen. I think you do an excellent job with the patients I talk with because their questions are answered. They feel very comfortable about coming because they know what to expect.” Transportation can be a barrier to some patients, as they have to be at their appointments five days each week. The Cancer Center does have some assistance available to help patients with the cost of gas. Those funds come from community donations and through fund-raising efforts of the Lake Tansi Women’s Golf League, who holds an annual benefit golf tournament.

‘Inherit the Wind’ comes alive on Playhouse stage By Pat Robbennolt Chronicle contributor
A Review
“Inherit the Wind” comes alive on the Mainstage of the Cumberland County Playhouse. Musicians gather with their instruments, singing gospel music. Bobby Taylor is using a spoon as a pick on his guitar. On-stage musicians are Austin Price, Summer Moore, Lauren Marshall, Dan Young, Bryanne Thacker, Bob Johnson, John Dobbratz, Cody Murphy and Quinn Cason. This is not a “musical per se,” but you will find yourself tapping your foot or joining in gospel songs as these musicians appear from time to time. The dilemma of Rachel Brown, played brilliantly and emotionally by the multi-talented Anna Baker, encapsulates the focus of the play. She cares deeply for Bertram Cates. He has been jailed because he introduced his high school science students to the concept of evolution. Rachel, an elementary school teacher, is the daughter of conservative clergyman Rev. Jeremiah Brown, played by singer-songwriter Bobby Taylor. Austin Price presents Bertram Cates as one who cares about his students. He is not red-hot radical trying to force an idea on anyone. He is simply doing his job, introducing ideas he is told should be presented from the textbooks given to him. Despite the pressure, he stands by his right to teach. Even his affection for Rachel does not lead him to falter. I celebrate the maturity and depth Price brings to this role Matthew Harrison Brady, the powerful, bombastic prosecuting lawyer, is played by George (Steve) Miller. Miller is retired from service in the U.S.
Army and resides in Dayton, TN. In the past, he has portrayed William Jennings Bryan in the Scopes Trial Festival re-enactment play in Dayton. He played that role in “Front Page News,” the historically accurate play with music presented in Dayton earlier this year under the direction of Jim Crabtree. Patty Payne brings Mrs. Brady to the stage. Ever concerned about her husband and his health, she interjects his need for a nap into the pressure of the moment. Attorney for the defense Henry Drummond is portrayed by Britt Hancock. Hancock is at his best. His Drummond is alert to set any linguistic trap into which Brady might fall. He is the circling tiger ready to go in for the kill. He cares for and respects his client. Mark Ullius, a seasoned actor and director, brings us the Judge. Carefully listening, aware of, without trying to control the media, the Judge must rule in the midst of powerful emotions on both sides. We hope to see Ullius on this stage again. The upcoming trial turns into a media circus. This atmosphere is reflected on stage. Jason Ross is the intrusive reporter E.K. Hornbeck. He is eager to get the story to his large city paper as soon as possible. It is wonderful to see Ross in a wider variety of roles, enabling him to expand his multiple talents and often bring laughter to the audience. While each actor should be named and celebrated for his or her role, I will only say, “Well done” to each and all, resident cast members and volunteers: retired teachers, college professors, clergy, economists, school children. Thanks to every one of you. We are especially
grateful to have Bob Ochsenrider on stage after forty-plus treatments for cancer. There was no one in this town of “Not too long ago,” nor on the stage, who is not emotionally involved in this debate on the appropriateness of the idea of evolution being introduced in their school. Many of the roles are played by folk whose presence on the stage is cherished, some play several roles. There are 43 members in the cast. Jim Crabtree, as producing director, has done a remarkable job of giving each of actor unique direction for his or her role. Supporting his efforts are his assistant director Bryce McDonald plus Crabtree’s talented wife and musical director, Annie Crabtree. Lauren Marshall and Bobby Taylor assist in the musical direction. A quote from authors Jerome Lawrence and Jason Lee included in the program reminds us: “What you see on the stage is not history.” The 1925 trial of a young science teacher in Dayton, TN, known as the Scopes trial, was the genesis of this play. A handful of phrases have come from that trial. The Playhouse last produced “Inherit the Wind” in 1991. The set, designed by Leonard Harman at that time, has been adapted and remounted by John Partyka for this show. Some members of this cast were a part of “Front Page News” in Dayton. I am glad to see a note in the program indicating that show, based on the historic events, will play in mid-July next year. “Inherit the Wind” runs here only through Nov. 14. Do call (931) 484-5000 for your tickets. You will enjoy the show. You may also consider where you might have found yourself in the crowd.
Celebrate Halloween with TTU’s Cumberland Quintet The Cumberland Quintet at Tennessee Tech University will host a non-traditional Halloween concert at 7:30 p.m. in Wattenbarger Auditorium. The concert will include various spooky tunes, but for this concert, audience participation is encouraged. The quintet will have a blood curdling scream contest and the musicians encourage concertgoers to come in costume. “This concert will be an ‘event,’” said Bill Woodworth, TTU oboe professor and member of the quintet. “In past years everyone has come in costume, which creates a fun atmosphere. It has been at least six years since our last extravaganza, so we have had several years to come up with some interesting ideas. We will have the scream contest,

“Faithful at all Cost,” Pastor David Sitler’s Sabbath sermon begins with a story of a college incident of unfaithfulness in Sabbathkeeping. In a moment of poor decisionmaking he chose to work on the Sabbath day, contrary to Christ’s example in Luke 4:16. It did not go unnoticed. “You shouldn’t,” remonstrated another lumberyard employee. Here’s why. Faith in Christ has to do with our love and thus, our obedience to His will, regardless of consequences. Rev. 12:10,11, Dan. 3:12-14. Our commitment to Him opens the way for Him to work miraculously in our lives. Is God’s faithfulness worth your sacrifice and suffering? It was to three Hebrews. God will lead us as we are willing to be led. Let us learn to trust Him so we can be faithful at all cost.
Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church
By David Higgins Chronicle contributor
God our Father and Creator has blessed us with the gift of life, and He continues to preserve and protect it. With our days in His hands, we are free from anxiety about life-what we will eat, what we will wear, how long we will live here on this earth. For us as believers, life is a gift to be enjoyed as we rely on our loving Father’s desire and ability to bless us with all that we need. If you would like to share this wonderful gospel with us, then we invite you to come and hear more of the exciting news of our Savior. We are Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) and we worship each Sunday at 8 and 10:30, with adult and children’s Sunday school at 9:15, between our two services. Communion is celebrated the first and third Sundays of the month.

New congregational wellness toolkit available online at no cost high blood pressure are at near epidemic levels, the rate of obesity has risen from 10 percent to 31 percent since 1988, only three states have higher rates of tobacco use, and our children now have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Available at www. healthierTN.com, the Small Starts tools can be used by individuals, workplaces and, now, faith congregations.

Please join us at 1:15 p.m. Sundays followed by Holy Eucharist at 2 p.m. For information call 931200-2411.
St. Alphonsus Catholic Church

Herod “the Great,” king of Judea, was unpopular with his people because of his connections with the Romans and his religious indifference. Hence, he was insecure and fearful of any threat to his throne. Herod was “greatly troubled” when astrologers from the east came asking the whereabouts of “the newborn king of the Jews,” whose star they had seen. They found Jesus, and warned by an angel, avoided Herod on their way home. Jesus escaped to Egypt. Herod became furious and “ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under.” “The Holy Innocents” are few, in comparison to the genocide of our day. But even if there had been only one, we recognize the greatest treasure God put on the earth—a human person, destined for eternity and graced by Jesus’ death and resurrection.
St. Francis of Assisi
By Carol S. Adams Chronicle contributor
Saints Simon and Jude are among the 12 Apostles Jesus chose to be with Him in His ministry. We are not sure what fate these holy men met at the end of their lives; some tradition says Simon died peacefully; others say he was martyred with Jude. St. Jude is revered as the patron of hopeless cases. Why? Because his name was sometimes confused with Judas (Jesus’s betrayer) and some thought the name problem made him a saint who would only be turned to by someone exhausted of all hope. We honor these two Apostles on Oct. 28.Sunday, Oct. 26, is World Priest Day.
for the workplace. Small Starts @ Worship is the latest part of the effort to encourage healthier living in Tennessee. The Governor’s Foundation for Health and Wellness is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to enabling and encouraging Tennesseans to lead healthier lives. Based in Nashville, the Foundation brings together a statewide coalition of employers, health insurers, hospital systems, local governments, school systems and healthcare-focused foundations and community organizations to effect positive, measurable change. The Foundation’s Healthier Tennessee initiative strives to increase the number of Tennesseans who are physically active for at least 30 minutes five times a week, promote a healthy diet, and reduce the number of people who use tobacco.
It will be a good occasion to remember our new pastor, Father Albert, in special prayers.
St. Michael’s Anglican Church
By James Gibson Chronicle contributor
We live in a world where there is much talk about love. The word can be used for an intense liking of something: “I love strawberries” or “I love the mountains.” Love can be used for a friendship where people share a common bond or interest, what you could call a brotherly/sisterly love. Sometimes the word is confused with feelings such as lust. But the love Jesus speaks of in this passage does not just express friendly affection: it is expression of the commitment of devotion that is directed by the will and can be commanded as a duty. It is a deliberate, selfless love where the lover is more concerned with the interest of the one being loved than his/her own interests. It requires sacrifice, will, courage, and commitment without conditions. We all need to feel loved in that way. To be accepted as we are without conditions. The best way we can know that love is through Jesus.
St. Raphael’s Episcopal Church
By Linda LeBreux Chronicle contributor
Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Can any of us say we truly obey these two commandments? What does loving God entail? What does loving our neighbor as ourselves really mean? We get help in answering those questions, in following those commandments in a loving, supportive church community like St. Raphael’s. In listening to the scriptures and a homily, in sharing communion and fellowship, we can be better equipped to follow the loving Savior who spoke those words. Hear them spoken again as the Gospel is read this Sunday at 9:30.

Happy birthday to Charlie Franklin, Glen Huggins, Quineth Roberts, Mi-Sun Bolling and Mary Franc Williams. Happy anniversary to David and Marietta Dion. “I Am a Servant.” Two things taught in New Testament: 1) Other lines. Romans 12:10, Philippians and 2) Outreach. Luke 19:10, 1 Corinthians 9:22. The pastor shared that he is honored to be pastor of our church; this is where God wants him to serve and I may add that we are privileged to have him serve as our pastor and to teach us so much of the Bible. Thank you, Pastor Jeff. We are located at 2067 Cravens Drive in Tansi, overlooking the beautiful Lake Tansi!

Reformation Sunday, Oct. 26, we celebrate the 500th anniversary of John Knox’s birth. Westminster welcomes as their guest pastor, Reverend Ken Miller. His sermon for Reformation Sunday is titled ‘God Is For Us.’ Bob Thompson, liturgist, will read scriptures from: Proverbs 11:24-24 and 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. Gospel reading is taken from Luke 21:1-4 – the widow’s two mites. Westminster’s adult christian education class has started a new DVD series by John Ortberg: ‘If You Want To Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of The Boat.’ Bill Godsey will moderate October 26 lesson: The Tragedy of The Unopened Gift. You will be connected to a new way of thinking to actual deeds and will have a different approach to life. Come and experience the risky waters of faith with us each Sunday at our 9:30 a.m. adult christian education classes.
