The Cumberland County Commission approved a resolution increasing the mileage rate for ambulance transports via Cumberland County EMS. Resolution 10-2014-2 is to increase the mileage rate from the current rate of $10.75 per loaded mile to $10.86. The new rate reflects the maximum amount allowable by Medicare guidelines and was suggested to the Emergency Services Committee by Cumberland County Fire Chief and EMS Director Jeff Dodson. The Emergency Services Committee approved the increase during its September monthly meeting and moved it forward to the full county commission. It was unanimously approved after a motion was made by Wendell Wilson, 6th District commissioner. Wilson’s motion was supported by John Kinnunen, 9th District commissioner. In other areas, the county commission approved resolution 10-2014-4 — a resolution to display a quilt square on the building at the Crossville-Cumberland County Gateway to the Big South Fork Visitors Center. Cumberland County is part of two quilt trails, the Appalachian Quilt Trail and the Upper Cumberland Quilt Trail. The manager of the visitors center proposed displaying the quilt square on the side of the building facing Interstate 40 to generate interest and travelers to visit the quilt trails and Cumberland County. The display will be done at no cost to the county. It was also approved and recommended to the county commission by the county’s building and grounds committee. It was unanimously approved after a motion was made by Sonya Rimmer, 8th District commissioner. Rimmer’s motion was supported by Kinnunen. n Gary Nelson may be reached at gnelson@crossville-chronicle.com.
Boyd Brown appointed to HSS Board By Gary Nelson
Chronicle senior staffwriter
The Cumberland County Commission approved a resolution appointing a new member to the county’s Health and Safety Standards Board during its
THP to conduct sobriety checks
The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting a sobriety roadside safety checkpoint in Cumberland County Oct. 31 on Hwy. 127 N at Mile Marker 26 from 9 to 10 p.m. The Tennessee Highway Patrol recognizes sobriety checkpoints are highly visible and effective tools in the battle against impaired driving. Impaired driving is a serious crime that kills more than 16,000 people and injures more than 305,000 others every year in the United States. Troopers will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment. Troopers will target those who operate a vehicle while impaired and take corrective action for other violations observed while ensuring the protection of all motorists.

Storytelling festival at the Palace Saturday A day filled with stories presented by a variety of delightful tellers is coming to the Palace Theatre in Crossville Nov. 1. Dr. Michael Lockett, an internationally acclaimed storyteller and children’s author from Normal, IL, and Pam Holcomb, a teller with a rich Appalachian heritage of traditional mountain tales and music, from Southeastern Kentucky, will join a group of Tennessee tellers in spin-
ning tales of all kinds. Lockett is known as “The Normal Storyteller,” but his tales are abnormally entertaining. He tells many traditional tales, as well as true stories. He often adds some dulcimer music when he performs. Lockett is a dynamic teller who has performed in 14 countries. He has received numerous awards for his storytelling CDs and DVDs. His material is often played on World
of Storytelling Radio, and he has many international fans. He has also written a series of bilingual children’s books, some published in English and Chinese, and some in English and Spanish. Holcomb was born and reared in the hills of Kentucky. Her love of storytelling and desire for the preservation of her culture drew her to the performing arts. See FESTIVAL page 2

HALLOWEEN • Continued from 1 a photo booth, dancing, bouncy house, and a haunted walk through the outdoor stages. Crab Orchard Christian Church — 5:30 p.m. Harvest Festival and Trunk or Treat. There will be face painting, karaoke, cornhole, fun foods, games and more. First Christian Church — 6 p.m. Homestead United Methodist Church — 5-7 p.m. Pleasant Hill Town Hall — 5:30-9 p.m. Pleasant Hill Town Halloween Party. Halloween’s greatest hazards aren’t vampires and villains, but falls, costume mishaps and traffic accidents, so the Red Cross is offering the following tips to help make this Halloween safe: ·Look for flame-resistant costumes. ·Plan the Trick-or-Treat route and make sure adults know where children are going. A parent or responsible adult should accompany young children as they make their way around the neighborhood. ·Make sure the Trickor-Treaters have a flashlight. Add reflective tape to costumes and Trick-orTreat bags. Have everyone wear light-colored clothing in order to be seen. ·Visit only the homes that have a porch light on. Accept treats at the door – never go inside. ·Instead of masks, which can cover the eyes and make it hard to see, consid-
intended to be fed to eligible farm-raised fish and was damaged because of an eligible adverse weather or loss condition in the county where the eligible adverse weather condition occurred. ELAP benefits are available to honeybee producers who maintain honeybees for producing honey, pollinating, or breeding purposes for commercial use in the county where the eligible adverse weather occurred. The honeybee colony must be a colony for which the producer had an eligible loss of a honeybee colony, in excess of 17.5 percent normal colony mortality rate, honeybee hive, or honeybee feed. The honeybee feed must have been intended for the honeybees. For further information about the Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP), contact the Cumberland/Bledsoe County Farm Service Agency (FSA) at 931-484-6520, Extension 2, or call toll free at 1-855-216-2802, Jolley said.

If no sidewalk is available, walk at the edge of the roadway, facing traffic. Look both ways before crossing the street and cross only at the corner. Don’t cut across yards or use alleys. Don’t cross between parked cars. ·Be cautious around pets and any other animals. Welcoming Ghosts and Goblins If someone is welcoming Trick-or-Treaters at their home, they should make sure the outdoor light is on. Other safety steps include: ·Sweep leaves from the sidewalks and steps. ·Clear the porch or front yard of any obstacles that a child could trip over. ·Restrain any household pets. ·Use a glow stick instead of a candle in the jack-olantern to avoid a fire hazard.

They’re excited and may not be paying attention. ·Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. They could be dropping off children. ·If you are driving to a Halloween party, put your mask on after you park the car. ·Never drink and drive – tonight or any night. If you are partying, designate a driver.

Letters to the Editor
Quarantines, travel bans are needed
Dear Chronicle: There has been a lot of talk recently about the likelihood of the Ebola epidemic spreading to the US. As a disease with a potential of a 50 to 90 percent fatality rate, the severity of becoming infected with Ebola cannot be exaggerated. First, we were told by the CDC that it is very hard to catch this disease. We now know of at least four US citizens who have caught it despite the fact they were mostly health care workers who should have known the preventative measure to take to keep from being infected. Hardly a situation where the disease was “very hard to get” was it? The CDC must think the average American is pretty stupid. The President and the agencies that control such matters like the FAA and the CDC have refused to restrict flights from the affected areas in West Africa to the US. They allege that passengers are questioned about their possible exposure and screened by taking their temperatures both before boarding and after arrival in the US. These assurances have turned out to be pure hogwash. Since they came out, we have learned the following. First, the incubation period for this disease is more than three weeks during which time no symptoms appear. Therefore, any passenger could have the disease and not show it. Secondly, the infrared thermometers used to take temperatures are notoriously inaccurate. Both facts suggest screening is ineffective. It now also is clear that the passenger who has Ebola in Texas arrived after traveling on several US flights. Overseas authorities say he lied about being exposed. The family he stayed with was quarantined, but they violated the quarantine and left their home and sent their children to school. As a result of all of these facts, up to 100 other individuals have potentially been exposed to the disease. Many agree the CDC initially lied through its teeth about the risks involved in this situation. It also seems clear that the hospital in Texas screwed up in a major way by sending a person infected with Ebola home when they had the information that should have alerted them. There is little in the way of critical trade or comSee TRAVEL page 5
Funding for RTI2 should not be held up
Dear Chronicle: This is in response to the front page article in the Chronicle concerning RTI2 funding. As a tax payer, it is difficult to understand how a veteran BOE member could hold up this important worthwhile program and expend legal fees based on his lack of knowledge concerning the use of fund balances. Mr. Isaacson, the CFO, is absolutely correct in that, as long as the amount being taken still leaves at least a 3% fund balance (which it does), it can be used for either recurring- or non-recurring expense. It seems to me that the BOE should have been willing to support him in this position given that It is his job to know these things. It should also be noted that this is an unfunded mandate from the state of Tennessee (meaning the state did not provide one additional penny of funding for this new program) for this fiscal year, so all potential sources of funds need to be examined for use. Finally, the excess to budget funds could easily be used to fund capital items (school buses, etc.) and the funds originally budgeted for these items moved to teachers’ salaries for the program, if there were no other way to do it. It is also surprising to me that the school attorney would need to “study” the issue further as this basic issue has been discussed numerous times in previous year’s meetings with the county commission’s budget committee. Let’s hope that in the future, less time and money will be expended on things that should have already been known and more will be spent in the classroom on worthwhile programs.

Climate change and the white male dilemma By Thomas I. Warren Chronicle contributor
Lion and the Lamb
Climate change is a threat to all of humanity, as it is to all non-human species. Climate change is a threat to all the elements of creation—water, soil, air—which allow for humans to live and to thrive. Climate change is a threat to everything on the planet, and the window of opportunity to respond is rapidly running out. Yet, strangely enough, the threat of climate change is not equally distributed. Some of us, apparently, have more to fear than others. According to a sociological study, “Cool Dudes: The Denial of Climate Change Among Conservative White Males in the United States,” by professors Aaron McCright and Riley Dunlap, conservative white males are disproportionately represented among climate change deniers. While hardly a surprise, it is interesting to see this phenomenon statistically proven and sociologically analyzed. Yet, why would conservative, white males, among all the varieties of human beings, be foremost involved and vocal in regard to denying the scientific certitude of the changing nature of our climate? The answer, in part, has to do with the fact that white males, particularly in the United States, have much to lose. Our economic system, which has worked so well for so long in favor of white males, is now, with the
advent of climate change, under the microscope. Untethered, free-market capitalism, deeply dependent upon the endless extraction and use of natural resources, is now increasingly being pointed to as the source of our climatic meltdown. This warming of the planet, and many of the solutions being proposed to slow down its effects, may spell the end of capitalism as we know it. White, conservative males see the writing on the wall, so denial and defense are the strategy: deny climate change, defend the system. Utilizing public opinion data from ten Gallup surveys from 2001 to 2010, McCright and Dunlap point to two social-psychological theories that shed light on why many white males refuse to acknowledge climate change. The “identity-protection cognition” thesis and “system-justification tendency” theory are fancy names for what humans do best: protect ourselves and our identities from that which threatens. White males, more so than any other group in American society, justify and defend our current economic system because it’s the system through which their identities and life expectations have been formed. Simply put, for white males, it has worked. Thus, any critique of “the system” is experienced as an ideological, psychological, and economic attack.
Conservative, white males tend to deny climate change not because they are white or conservative, but because they reflexively must defend that to which they are indebted. indeed, on many fronts these days, white males, be they conservative or otherwise, feel their place of privilege in society waning. Climate change represents the latest and greatest threat to that privilege. If our economic system should go the way of “no-growth economy” or toward more economically distributive policies intended to lessen the environmental pain, the historic white male advantage goes with it. Cool dudes? Perhaps. But more and more conservative white males are starting to sweat, and why not? The climate clock is ticking, and the legitimacy of the deny and defend strategy is quickly fading. Maybe, for white males, it’s time for a new strategy? ••• This column by local writers is dedicated to the theme that the lion and the lamb can and must learn to live together and grow in their relationship toward one another to ensure a better world of peace and justice.

Work continues on Plateau Partnership Park All were present for the Oct. 20 meeting of the full Cumberland County Board of Commissioners except First District Representative Jeff Dyer. Commissioner Dyer had a previously scheduled work commitment and was unable to attend. Ray Evans updated the commission on the Plateau Partnership Park. Work continues on the obstacles faced by the PPP, including designing a wastewater treatment facility for the site, getting natural gas service to the area, and a road at the main entrance of the industrial park. One of the strong selling points of the site is the fact that there are very few sites in the region with such a large amount of land available that also have access to an interstate and rail. Resolutions A resolution was passed approving the bond for Cumberland County Trustee Kim Wyatt. This bond is required by state law and was approved unanimously. The July minutes of the monthly county commission meeting were changed to reflect the intent of the board in

CC Notes granting the mayor and attorney the authority to acquire by condemnation, property for an antenna for emergency services communication. The ambulance mileage rate was increased by unanimous vote to the maximum allowed by Medicare. Boyd Brown was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Randy Elmore on the Health and Safety Standards board that expires May 15, 2017, and approval was granted for a quilt square display on the outside of the Crossville/Cumberland County Visitor Center that faces I-40. Several routine general purpose schools fund and county budget resolutions were passed as well. A resolution from the budget committee was unanimously passed to release $100,000 toward hiring an engineering firm to be used to help in the process of correcting
problems with the county wide communication system. This will ensure the project gets moving while protecting the interests of the county. The final resolution of the evening was one to write off bad debt owed to the Emergency Medical Services Department for ambulance charges. Balances of approximately $13,000,000 that were over one year old and that have been determined to be uncollectable were adjusted upon recommendation of the State of Tennessee Comptroller’s Office and AMB-MARS, the county’s third-party billing company. Some of the bad debt originated in 1992 and needed to be removed from the books many years ago. The vote was 13-4 in favor of the resolution with Commissioners Hyder, Wilson, Farley, and Kinnunen voting no. Financial Report Property tax collections are at four percent for the year which compares favorably to the same time last year. Hotel/motel tax collections in the amount of $168,145 represent 23 percent of the budgeted amount of $734,738.
Ambulance collections are $485,109 of an annual budget of $3,000,000. This is 16.2 percent of the budget compared to 8 percent at this time last year. A monthly average collection of $250,000 is needed to make this budgeted amount. Prisoner boarding collected from the state of Tennessee is at $170,866 for the first two months of the fiscal year. This is 13.9 percent of the $1,224,885 annual budgeted income. Sales tax through September for the Board of Education total $1,424,259 which is $16,908 above budgeted figures, year to date. Veterans Services Officer Update The county commission was recently informed that the state of Tennessee has entered into a plea agreement with Mark Daniels, the former Cumberland County Veterans Services Officer. Daniels was charged with a class ‘B’ felony for theft over $60,000.

Jane Powers recognized for service to Economic Council on Women Jane Powers dedicated more than 16 years of service to the Tennessee Economic Council on Women and the Women’s Economic Council Foundation. Powers was a founding member of the council. As the council celebrates its 16th anniversary, Powers has completed all the terms allowed to serve. Powers provided exemplary leadership to the council; serving terms as chair and treasurer of its executive committee; and leading numerous projects throughout her tenure, especially publication of Tennessee’s Business—Women’s Economic Status and the 2005 Economic Status of Women in Tennessee Counties. “It has been a privilege to be part of the TECW from its inception and see it flourish. These 16 years as a member have allowed me to help promote and advocate for women in many ways,” said Powers. Powers received a commendation from the council recognizing her years of service at the council’s quarterly meeting, held in Knoxville in late August. She contributed meaningfully to the council’s mission to improve the economic sta-
Jane Powers tus of women in Tennessee to cultivate and advocate for solutions that will identify their economic needs and promote economic autonomy. In addition to Powers, Yvonne Wood was also recognized for her years of ser-
vice. “Though they will no longer officially be a part of the Economic Council, we will continue to solicit their expertise on many women’s causes,” said Dena Wise, chair of the Economic Council. Power’s skills have been
vital to the council’s work and ongoing vision. She is the founder of Powers Law Firm created in 1980 in Crossville that provides legal services throughout Tennessee that focuses on litigation of gender employment fairness issues, criminal defense, and workers’ compensation. Powers was selected to be a Fellow of the Tennessee Bar Foundation. She has also served as the president of the Tennessee Lawyers Association for Women; speaker of the Tennessee Bar Association’s House of Delegates; member of the Tennessee Bar Associations’ Board of Governors; and actively gives speeches and lectures on gender, economic and employment issues in addition to workers compensation. On a personal note, Powers is a descendent of Nashville founder John Donelson, the father of Rachel Donelson Jackson who was the wife of the United States’ 7th president, Andrew Jackson.

Emerging issues focus of annual Forage and Grassland Meeting The Tennessee Forage and Grassland Council will hold its annual meeting and tradeshow on Friday, Nov. 7, at Ellington Agricultural Center’s Ed Jones Auditorium in Nashville. “Several emerging issues will highlight this year’s program,” says Gary Bates, director of the University of Tennessee Beef and Forage Center. “The lineup of speakers is outstanding and should provide for a very interesting day.” Ryan Goodman, who maintains the website agricultureproud.com which boasts more than 11,000 followers, will be discussing then need for interaction between the ag industry and
non-ag society. He will also discuss the opportunities of social media in agricultural relations. Other topics include preventing herbicide resistance in pasture weeds, managing nuisance wildlife and techniques for low-cost heifer development. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the meeting begins at 9 a.m. CST. A $25 registration fee covers the cost of membership in the Tennessee Forage and Grassland Council as well as lunch. The meeting will conclude by 3 p.m. CST. “This meeting is a great opportunity for any farmer who’s looking to produce forage and grasses as profitably as possible,” says
Bates. “This is where Tennessee’s top producers will be, and if they can’t help you, they’ll know the other good producers in your area.” An accompanying trade show offers producers a look at and a lesson about the constantly changing technology necessary to make the best decisions for their farms and for their buyers. The day’s events also include a silent auction provided by the major seed, chemical and pharmaceutical companies participating in the tradeshow.

Hooker seeks ruling on votes NASHVILLE (AP) — Independent gubernatorial candidate John Jay Hooker, a leading opponent of efforts to enshrine judicial merit selection into the Tennessee Constitution, wants the state Supreme Court to weigh in on which votes should be counted in next week’s election.

I strongly believe that all of this money should be spent directly on the veterans of our county. The budget committee will be meeting with the new VSO in the near future to determine the distribution of these funds. Meeting Notice Those that have natural gas provided by Upper Cumberland Gas may have been following the recent actions to merge with Middle Tennessee Natural Gas. The two utility companies have voted to merge. This would result in approximately 33 percent savings on monthly bills for customers of Upper Cumberland Gas. As a part of the process, the county mayor must hold a hearing to determine if the merger will be allowed to proceed. The mayor announced that this public hearing would be held Oct. 23 in the large
meeting room at the Cumberland County Courthouse. Thank you for allowing me to serve the 4th District and Cumberland County.

6 • At a Glance Area News TTU purchases Regions Bank building
COOKEVILLE — Tennessee Tech University recently purchased the Regions Bank building at 10 W. Broad Street for $1.8 million in an online auction last week, according to the Herald-Citizen. TTU paid roughly $32.40 per square foot for the building. Dr. Phil Oldham, president of Tennessee Tech, told the Herald-Citizen that they had actually looked at the building as a possible lease space a year or two ago. “We had sort of been looking at it for some possible opportunities to move some (units) that don’t have to be right in the middle of campus,” he said. Recently, they learned the building was for sale. Regions Bank does not own the building and the sale doesn’t mean the bank will be closing or even moving. The auction for the building began at noon on Monday and ran until noon on Wednesday. The starting bid was $250,000. There was an unpublished reserve that had to be met before the building would be sold. “They (Regions Bank) have a lease that actually is locked in through 2020 and they have another 20 years worth of options they have the opportunity to exercise if they so choose,” Oldham said. Oldham said they are “certainly happy” with Regions Bank remaining in the building. Regions Bank leases over 46 percent of the building, which means Tennessee Tech will have just over half of the building. Oldham said the bank is leasing the ground level and the second floor of the building. Tech will be able to use the third floor and the basement level. Although Tennessee Tech has not officially closed on the building yet, there are already some preliminary plans about how their part of the building will be used. “There’s no plan right now for any kind of instructional space in that building,” Oldham said. “The first thing will probably be the relocation of our information technology services.” He said that is a “fairly large group” that will probably occupy the bulk of one floor of the Regions building. “That frees up a lot of instructional space on campus that we need,” he said. It is unclear at this point if people will be able to get information or even apply for Tennessee Tech at the downtown location. Oldham also said it is too early to know a timeline. “We want to do it as soon as possible. There’s a fair amount of things to think about. We haven’t even closed on the property yet. Obviously, we will have to take ownership of the property. We will have to assess what modifications if any we need to make with the place where ITS could locate and get those renovations completed.” Oldham said TTU is looking forward to having a downtown presence. He also said TTU is continuing to have conversations with the city of Cookeville.
Man killed in shooting
ANDERSON COUNTY — A man was killed in a shooting incident Sunday, as reported by the Oak Ridger. The Anderson County Sheriff’s Communications Center received a report of a shooting at 1229 Sequoyah Rd in the Andersonville community. Upon arrival, deputies found 58 year old James Alvin Russell, of Sharps Chapel, TN, had been shot. Russell was pronounced dead at the

Sex offender arrested near school site
ALGOOD — A sex offender was arrested yesterday by the Algood Police Department after he was allegedly shouting profanities in front of a school, according to the HeraldCitizen. Sgt. Dana Looper of the Algood Police Department said Corey Marc Mullins pled guilty to aggravated statutory rape in Putnam County. As a sex offender, Mullins is not permitted within 1,000 ft. of a school. In addition to the sex offender offense, Mullins was charged with resisting arrest and was charged with a violation of the drug free school zone because he was found to be in possession of marijuana and Xanax pills. According to the affidavit, officers responded the LBJ& C pre-school “in regards to a man cussing and yelling at parents in front of the school.” Looper said Mullins resisted arrest. A search of Mullins revealed marijuana and Xanax in his pants. Due to his proximity to the school, Mullins was charged with a drug free school zone violation. Mullins was transported to the Putnam County Jail. Bond was set at $5,000 for the sex offender offense, $5,000 for the drug free school zone violation and $1,000 for resisting arrest. He is scheduled to be in court on Dec. 8.
State News Slatery: TN able to set hours for adult stores
NASHVILLE (AP) — Attorney General Herbert Slatery says in his first legal opinion since taking office that Tennessee can continue to restrict hours for adult-oriented establishments. The opinion released Monday relies on a 1998 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld restrictions on the hours of Knox County adult bookstore as being in the “substantial government interest” of reducing crime and solicitation of sex, and in seeking to preserve the “aesthetic and commercial character” of surrounding neighborhoods. Slatery acknowledged that that ruling stands in contrast to a January decision in the neighboring 7th Circuit that found the city of Indianapolis failed to demonstrate that its restrictions on hours for adult stores reduced crime. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal of the Indianapolis case this month.

The train jumped the tracks Sunday night after a pond levee broke and flooded the area, including the tracks. Kee says the train, including 14 cars, was not carrying anything on it when it derailed. Two trailers were near the tracks, but the train did not get close to them. Kee says several of the train’s cars were moved Monday morning, and crews were working to set the locomotive upright. People were working to replace the gravel and tracks. Crews estimated that the track would reopen by late Tuesday afternoon.
AR man charged threats to kill at drive-thru
M U R F R E E SBORO (AP) — An Arkansas man has been charged with banging on a drive-thru window and saying it was time for him to start killing people. Murfreesboro police say 58-year-old Richard Shultz of Little Rock pulled into a Wendy’s Thursday night and told a staff member “he killed people for a living and that it was time to begin.” The Daily News Journal reported that police found Shultz outside the restaurant, where he denied threatening anyone, But, officers say, Shultz did say he had consumed several drinks earlier in the evening. Shultz was arrested on counts of public intoxication and failure to appear in court on a prior charge. Shultz was booked into the Rutherford County jail Thursday night on $5,250 bond.

Tennessee jailer behind bars, faces bribery charge
TULLAHOMA (AP) — A former corrections officer from southern Tennessee is set for arraignment next month on charges that he took money from an inmate to allow contraband into a jail. The Tullahoma News reported that 26-year-old James M. Mayes of Manchester is scheduled to appear in Coffee County General Sessions Court on Nov. 17. Mayes is charged with bribery of a public servant, extortion and official misconduct.
Sheriff’s Investigative Sgt. Danny Ferrell says Mayes took $100 from and inmate to allow a quarter pound of tobacco into the tobacco-free jail. Ferrell alleges that the inmate was told that for another $150 he could bring anything he wanted into the jail. Mayes is being housed in the Franklin County Jail under a $150,000 bond.
School’s social media policy causes concern
FRANKLIN (AP) — The social media policy for students at Williamson County Schools has drawn some concern for being too strict. The Tennessean reports the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee and the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation have asked the district to suspend its policy because they say it compromises the First and Fourth Amendment rights of students. The policy, which is part of the “Bring Your Own Technology” to school program, requires students to get permission from a teacher or administrator before posting photographs of other students or any school employees. It also allows teachers and administrators to inspect any device at any time. Director of Schools Mike Looney said district attorneys are reviewing the request. He said the district is committed to finding the right balance between students’ rights and safety.

TUSTIN, CA (AP) — It’s not every day you see a 6-foot-tall bird running in traffic. But Tustin police say that was the report Tuesday morning when an emu got loose from a backyard pen. The Orange County Register says officers were called to a quiet residential area shortly before 11:30 a.m. By the time they got there, neighbors had safely corralled the big bird and returned it to a pen it shares with two other emus. A police statement says there was no threat to public safety. The emu is a flightless Australian bird that resembles an ostrich. It’s the second-largest bird in the world after the ostrich and can sprint at up to 30 mph. Authorities say it’s legal to own emus in Orange County with the proper zoning.
CT man accused of ‘mopping aggressively’
BRISTOL, CT (AP) — A Connecticut man is facing charges after police said he grabbed a mop out of a hotel employee’s hands and was “mopping aggressively” over the worker’s shoes. Police say 30-year-old John Thornton, of Southington, was arrested Monday night and charged with breach of peace and threatening. Officers responding to the Bristol hotel were told a man had become “unruly,” grabbed the mop and swept it back and forth over the
woman’s shoes. When the employee asked the man to stop, police say he turned his back and pushed her into a corner. Police say the woman was shaken and crying. Authorities say Thornton insulted and swore at officers during the arrest, threatening them with bodily harm. He was released on $20,000 bond. There was no answer at a phone listing in his name.
Ninja Turtlemasked teen accused of store robbery
LAFAYETTE, LA (AP) — “Cowabunga!” A Louisiana teen is behind bars after police say he donned a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask and used a stick wrapped in plastic to rob a convenience store Thursday morning. Lafayette police say 18-year-old Lacorrion Detron Turner is charged with first-degree robbery. Police say he was able to force his way behind the counter with the stick. He then tried -- and failed -- to open the register. Police say Turner fled on foot after taking two wallets from underneath the counter. Officers arrested Turner a short time later. It was unclear whether he has an attorney.
Woman saved from CA chimney, then arrested
THOUSAND OAKS, CA (AP) — A woman stuck in the chimney of a Southern California house has been rescued and arrested. Ventura County fire Capt. Ron Oatman says firefighters responding to neighbors’ reports of a woman crying had to chisel away much of the chimney and lubricate it with dish soap Sunday to free 30-year-old Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa. The Ventura County Star reports she was arrested on suspicion of illegal entry and giving false information to police. Police say NunezFigueroa knows the owner of the home in Thousand Oaks, who wasn’t there. They wouldn’t elaborate. She had no clear injuries but was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Police didn’t know if she’d hired an attorney, and no phone listing for her could be found. Oatman says firefighters destroyed the chimney and damaged the roof.
New Mexico man’s typo costs him thousands
ALBUQUERQUE, NM (AP) — A New Mexico man says he made an error while paying his electric bill that led him to overpay by thousands of dollars. The Public Service Company of New Mexico says it could take weeks to get him his money back.
Rio Rancho attorney Ira Karmiol overpaid a $278 bill online earlier this month when he inadvertently hit a fourth digit. He says he paid $2,787 because of the typo he didn’t catch. When he noticed the error a few days later, Karmiol says he contacted the utility company, which said its policy required three to four weeks to process a refund request. A utility spokesman says he can’t discuss problems with specific customers, but that issues like these are ordinarily resolved “as quickly as possible.”
‘Hello Kitty’ arrested on drunken driving charge
GORHAM, Maine (AP) — Police say a Maine woman who was pulled over while wearing a Hello Kitty costume was arrested on a drunken driving charge. Gorham police say officers stopped 37-year-old Carrie Gipson, of Westbrook, at about 2 a.m. Sunday because she driving in the wrong lane. They say she refused to take a breath test and was arrested for operating under the influence. She was taken to the Cumberland County jail. Her police mugshot shows her wearing a red and white Hello Kitty costume, minus the doll’s mammoth head. There was no immediate response to a phone message left by The Associated Press at a residence believed to be Gipson’s.
Homes found for 24 Salem bearded dragons
SALEM, OR (AP) — A Salem woman says an outpouring of support from all over the country will save 24 bearded dragons she has to move or face eviction from her mobile home park. The Statesman Journal reports reptile rescuer Sherrie Baldwin is giving away her pet lizards this week — only requiring the new owners provide veterinary care. Baldwin made news in August when she gave one her bearded dragons CPR after she found it floating in its small pool. That got the attention of her landlord who threatened to evict her from the Sunset Village Mobile Park. But, news coverage had people lining up and calling to help take the scaly reptiles off her hands.

127 Seniors plan for Thanksgiving dinner By Elaine Mumme Chronicle contributor
127 Seniors
On Friday, Oct. 24, the members of the 127 Senior Center of Cumberland County gathered together to socialize, with Helen Lord calling bingo. The bingo prizes were furnished by M. Stewart Galloway, ophthalmologist. There was also a fun dominos table. The general meeting was called to order by the President Fred Zoeller, with Brenda Williams saying the opening prayer and Mario (Gabby) Gambaccini leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Zoeller thanked Helen Lord for calling bingo. Jan Neitzke gave her report on the trips. The Nov. 5 trip to the Country Tonight Theater Show in Pigeon Forge has a couple of changes. Park all cars in the Masonic temple parking lot where the bus will pick you up. Please note the bus will leave at 9 a.m., so be there no later than 8:30 a.m. Dinner will be before the show. The

Also, do not forget to keep the brave military in your prayers. Fred welcomed Mildred Moseley as a new member. Also, they enjoyed having Anna Cox’s sister, Glenna Houston, and her cousins from Ohio, Sheila and James Pennington, as visi-
tors to the center. Fred announced that there will be no bluegrass performance Nov. 6 and 27. Next week will be soup and sandwiches only — no hot dishes please.

After the dinner prayer, the members were served a meal of chicken n’ dumplings prepared by Anna Cox and her helpers, Shirley Seifert and Jean Wettlauer. The members provided the side dishes and desserts. This week’s meeting is on Halloween, so come with a costume or at least a crazy hat and have a bewitching good time.

Celtic Circle celebrates Tartan Tuesday at meeting By Sharon Hilton Chronicle contributor
The Celtic Circle held its regular meeting the first Tuesday of each month at the Christian Church of the Cumberlands on First St. in Crossville. After finger food and fellowship, they had a short business meeting, recognized birthdays and discussed plans for the rest of the year and into 2015. October’s meeting was Tartan Tuesday, as Sallie Guy from Fairfield Glade, a semi-retired professional tartans and plaids weaver shared tartan heritage, a mini-history of the Scots, Scots-Irish and the how, what, why, where and when of the tartans. Guy, originally from New York, has been weaving since 1962 and has had an original synod tartan pattern rec-
ognized by the American Tartan Society and another tartan recognized by Lord Lyon of Edinburgh, Scotland. She explained the history and uses of the tartans, and the differences between a tartan and a kilt. Tartans established the clans’ identities and varied from two colors to multiple colors always in overlapping checkered patterns. Guy made history interesting as she explained how the Tudors, Stewarts (Stuarts) and the entwining of the battles between the Catholic and Protestant monarchs, from the 1400s through to recent history, brought about the popularity of tartans all over the Western world. They thoroughly enjoyed her talk and discussed the possibility of having her design a Cumberland County tartan. They are also look-
ing into plans to have Guy present her three-part series, “Romance of the Tartan,” at the Art Circle Public Library in Crossville in March. It will be free and open to the public. Watch this paper for more details. Their next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 4, at building one of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology at 910 Miller Rd. in Crossville rather than their regular location. Finger food and fellowship will be from 6 to 6:30 p.m., with the meeting from 6:30 to around 8 p.m. Tom and Mary Thompson will be sharing their journey to have the re-recognition of the Clan Thompson and will discuss the infamous Border Reiver’s story. Email Barbara at callingallclans2013@gmail.com with any questions.

The Junior Panther Cutters take a knee during their game at Norwood Saturday against the Jaguars. Crossville swept the triple-header with the Jaguars to conclude the regular season in the first year with the Morgan County area league.
The 2014 College Football season is entering the final stages and, with the play-off committee now seated, teams have that last push toward a four way post-season play-off and the glory that comes with it. Stanley’s Stinkers is pushing as well. Last week, we finished with a respectable 32-8 mark leaving our season record just above an 80 percent success rate. But, there are still some tough contests left to go and we are ready. We stand alone on the gridiron as the only one who uses Reverse Prognostication to predict the losers in College Football’s biggest games. With that said, here are the games we will be watching this week: Tennessee Volunteers at South Carolina Gamecocks: The Fearsome Fowl almost pulled the upset last week against Auburn. This week, they need to have the same type of effort against a surging squad of Riflemen from across the mountains. The Head Ball Coach has had a problem, however, getting his Roost up for the small games this year while Butch Jones has his Troops ready to strike at anything that moves. This could be a preview of the future in the SEC East. But, this time, Stanley’s Stinker: South Carolina. Texas Longhorns at Texas Tech Red Raiders: A set of trophy spurs is up for grabs this weekend when the Bull-calves head over to Lubbock to continue the rivalry against the Red Riders. Despite a steady decline over the last several years, the Horns have been able to hook the Masked Matadors 12 times since 2000. Make it a baker’s dozen. Tyrone Swoopes’ surge behind center is enough to give hope for the weary Cow-bulls and their wary fans. Stanley’s Stinker: Texas Tech. Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs in Jacksonville: If not for a few inches in South Carolina, the Junkyard Dogs would undefeated and in the thick of the play-off talks. Instead, the head Dog leads his pound south for the annual cocktail party hoping that another team will falter at the top. With the possible return of Todd Gurley, getting style points against a rival could put Georgia on a mission to break the scoreboard along with the will of the Gator coach. Even without Gurley, though, this one will be over by the time the ice melts in the martini. Stanley’s Stinker: Florida. Purdue Boilermakers at Nebraska Cornhuskers: Speaking of style points, the Shuckers need as many as possible for their team and for their Heisman hopeful, Ameer Abdullah. The senior running back already has four games with more than 200 yards rushing this year and it’s almost a sure bet that he’ll add number five against the Pipe Fitters. Even with a near miss last week against Minnesota, Darrell Hazell hasn’t got enough to upset the Huskers. Has he? Stanley’s Stinker: Purdue. Notre Dame Irish at Navy Midshipmen: Luck has been on the side of the Irish this year and their resurgent quarterback, Everett Golson. With the exception of one play two weeks ago, the Leprechauns would be firmly in the hunt for one of the coveted play-off spots. But, with a single loss and no conference crown to win, Notre Dame must rely on the last five games to prove their worth. Unfortunately, the Middies will be an example of what little green men can do when they get angry and motivated. Stanley’s Stinker: Navy. Arizona Wildcats at UCLA Bruins: When the season began, pundits were pick-
The Junior Panther football teams concluded their season on a victorious note Saturday by defeating the Norwood Jaguars. The Cutter team took a while to get on track, but behind Gary Burhamer’s seven tackles and Jeremy Faalafua’s 152 total rushing yards they were able to top off their homecoming night with a 22-0 win. The young Cricket team put away the Jaguars 28-0. Jackson Bryson and Bryson Wilson had two touchdowns a piece. Rylan Burnett logged four tackles, while Connor Hankins had five. The Hopper team also finished the season strong, defeating the Jaguars 32-0. Blayton Flowers led the way with 91 total rushing yards. The Junior Panther organization would like to extend its most sincere appreciation to all the coaches, players and parents as well as its supporters and sponsors for a great inaugural Junior Panther season.
ing the Bruin Bears to be the class of the Pac12 and the rest of the nation. But, two losses and two close wins prove that this team has less; not Mora. Meanwhile, Arizona has been one of the surprises of the conference, sporting a 6-1 record and a tie atop the division. A balanced running attack and an accurate passer should be enough to keep the Bears in the woods and the Cats on the prowl again. Stanley’s Stinker: UCLA. Utah Utes at Arizona State Sun Devils: The two teams tied with Arizona in the Pac12 South square off in what should be a classic battle through the air. But, if it does become airborne, the Utes might be disorderly. Utah leads the nation in sacks with 35. With a quarterback that has already been hobbled, the Desert Demons might be hung out to dry as their leading rusher is averaging less than 40 yards per game in the last four contests. The natives are restless again. In an upset, Stanley’s Stinker: Arizona State. Arkansas Razorbacks at Mississippi State Bulldogs: The Hail State Howlers push toward destiny continues with what should be a tune-up before the final showdowns. But, if State takes the Piggies for granted, they might not be able to bring home the bacon or the conference crown. Arkansas leads the SEC in rushing but they are near the bottom with the pass. It could be a chance for The Pups to strut their defense with a shutout. Stanley’s Stinker: Arkansas. TCU Horned Frogs at West Virginia Mountaineers: The Pouncing Pastors put 82 points on the board in a blowout last week and now they get to play a team that is not really known for defense. The results could be worth watching. The Mountainmen might need to bring an extra scoreboard to Morgantown. This is two of the top teams in the Big 12 and two of the top scorers in the country. Forget about defense winning championships. Stanley’s Stinker: West Virginia. Auburn Tigers at Ole Miss Rebels: The Land Sharks finally faltered last week on the road but they are back home this week and still have a chance at the play-offs. But, the Gus Bus pulls into the Grove Saturday with the same goal and just as much on the line. Something’s gotta give. With the Rebel defense beginning to sag, the offense might need to match points with the Tigers. That is not an easy task for any team. As a matter of fact, it is almost impossible. Stanley’s Stinker: Ole Miss. While we are at it, here are a few more games we will be watching Saturday: Iowa will lose to Oklahoma, Temple will walk the plank against East Carolina, North Carolina State will be squeezed by Syracuse, Middle Tennessee will be raided by BYU, Kansas will fall to Baylor, Missouri will be tamed by Kentucky, Oklahoma State will be spurred by Kansas State, Illinois will be cracked by Ohio State, Southern Miss will be buried by UTEP and, in honor of our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces there will be no Stinkers this weekend in West Point when the Air Force Falcons visit the Army Black Knights. Stanley’s Stinkers is intended for entertainment only. A free podcast and blog is always available on line at www.StanleysStinkers.com.
