Sultana sinking worse than Titanic Although its history has been largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.

Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Andersonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition. With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard. More were killed than those who perished on the Titanic.

Mock Wreck

By Ruth White

Rural/Metro staged a mock crash scene in the parking lot of Powell High School last week to encourage students to understand the seriousness of driving. Sponsored by the Powell Business and Professional Association, Powell’s Teen Driver Awareness program has received statewide recognition.

The weeklong event was highlighted

by Tuesday’s mock crash which included victims, ambulances, fire trucks and the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. The KCSO helicopter landed to transport victims in the first assembly. It was called away and Life Star was summoned for the second. Both helicopters landed in the parking lot in front of the school as emergency lights swirled and motorists on Emory Road gawked to see what was happening.

The man with the microphone was Gary Morris, communications manager for Rural/ Metro and a former president of the PBPA. “This is something we don’t want to happen to you,” he said, as students and teachers surrounded the mock wreck scene. “That saw is about 3 inches from your head. It’s not a fast process as we open the car and then ‘package’ the victims. That’s what we call it.

We put them in a collar and on a board.”

Morris has worked many accident scenes, but it never gets easier.

“We all think we’re 10 feet tall and bullet proof,” he said. “Death is final. You don’t come back. There is no do-over.”

State Farm insurance agency owner Sage Kohler coordinated the week-long event. She said there is an 80 percent chance a male driver will have an accident within three years of receiving his license to drive. It used to be 30 percent for girls, but now it’s 65 percent. Why? “Texting,” yelled the students.

Kohler told of coming upon a wreck and

watching a 22-year-old driver die. “In a split second, it can happen to you,” she said.

The program included visits on Wednesday morning by Bojangle’s workers handing out coupons for free food to students who were wearing a seat belt. The Chickfil-A cow came by with coupons when school dismissed.

On Thursday, the program culminated as business leaders joined school personnel to give away more than $5,000 in cash and prizes. Students who pledged to be better drivers were eligible for the drawings.

Ten seniors’ names were drawn randomly in a countdown to the top prize – $2,000 in college scholarship money.

Members of the Powell Business and Professional Association that sponsored the event and prizes included Rural/Metro, Emory Family Practice, Computer Depot, Pools by Heritage, Vaughn Pharmacy, Sage Kohler with State Farm and Laura Bailey with Realty Executives.

Powell High drama students Elizabeth Shepherd and Kelsie Shipley are covered with “blood” after participating in the mock wreck.

Officers from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office examine the remains of a simulated wreck between a car and a motorcycle. Several agencies donated staff and equipment for the Teen Driver Awareness mock wreck.

Sandra Clark and Amanda Shell contributed to this report.

Scholarship winners, whose names were drawn from those who signed the pledge not to text and drive, are: Taylor Norman, receiving $2000; Kelsey Walton, receiving $1000; and Fatima Abbasi, receiving $500.

POWELL HOWL Rural/Metro Fire Chief Jerry Harnish sat at the next table over, his starched pink napkin folded neatly across his lap.

“I’ll speak first about napkins,” said Ashley J. Lawrence, MBA. “The napkin remains in your lap the whole time.”

Harnish smiled primly.

Sitting next to him, R. Larry Smith grabbed his pink napkin from the center of the table and tossed it in Jerry’s lap. It was another classic moment at the PBPA. Ashley J. Lawrence owns AJL Consulting, advising on business and donor etiquette. Her tips are relevant for us all: First impressions count: What do you look like? Smell like?

Business meal: The napkin remains in your lap the whole time. The salt and pepper shakers are married. Pass them together.

Offer bread, then butter to the person on your left, then take your own, then pass to the right. Bread first, then butter. BMW (not the car).

Remember Bread (solids) on the left, Middle (where your plate goes) and Water (liquids) on the right. Silverware: Start on the outside and work in.

Email: Do not respond when mad. Reply All: Use with caution. Blind Copy: Don’t use at all. Emails (and texts) are like diamonds – forever. Return emails and voice mails within 24 hours.

Cell phones: When you have a client or donor sitting across the desk, turn off your phone. When going into an important meeting, leave the phone in the car. In any meeting, turn it off. And choose your ring tones wisely.

Speaker phones: Don’t eat your lunch or sip through a straw while using.

Always identify the people in the room to the person on the other end.

The note: Pen and paper still work. People will open a hand-written note first. End your letter with a “Southern touch” such as “with warmest regards” or “best regards” rather than “sincerely.” Communicate through the year, not just when you

Life on the New Frontier

Frontier Communications won the business card lottery and got to present a 5 minute infomercial at the PBPA. The designated speaker was Powell guy John Bayless, the technical supervisor for Frontier properties in Powell and Rutledge, Tenn., and Fairmount, Ga. Frontier is a Fortune 500 Company with revenue of $5.24 billion, 3.41 million customers and approximately 15,400 employees, all U.S. based.

“We are big,” Bayless said, “but we’re also the local phone company that the Scarbros started 92 years ago in Powell, Tenn.”

In Powell, Frontier has 45 employees who represent 562 years of service.

About half of the employees are work-at-home call center staff. “We’re neighbors serving neighbors,” Bayless said. He asked businesses to call for an audit which could save them money.

Families say thanks for love and prayers

The families of Josie Meredith Fine want to thank the Powell and surrounding communities for their love, support and prayers following Josie’s death.

The outpouring by friends, families, schools, churches and others who knew Josie and those whose lives were touched by her charm and fun-loving spirit has and continues to uplift the family during this terrible loss.

Josie’s motto was “Live in Love.” So, in her memory, we are doing just that! We thank the Lord we were chosen to share in her short life.

Thank you seems so little, but it is heartfelt.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you are a victim of Internet fraud, Rolen advises that passwords to accounts should be changed, the credit card companies and bank should be notified, account numbers should be changed and that the incident should be reported quickly. “If it’s a deal that is too good to be true, it probably is.”

Internet scammers beware! The senior adults in the Heiskell community recently hosted Tammy Rolen with Frontier Communications and they are now more knowledgeable about Internet safety.

“Internet safety doesn’t just involve children,” said Rolen, “adults are at risk too.”

Adults are a growing population of Internet users and although it can be a wonderful tool for research, keeping in touch and shopping, scammers are just waiting to steal information and identities from unsuspecting people.

Three steps to defending yourself if your Internet safety has been compromised is to first protect your computer through security software, back up files regularly to disk or external hard drive and if attacked, seek professional help immediately.

Always keep personal information secure, including Social Security number, credit card numbers and mother’s maiden name. Only give this information to trusted sites and never to sites that pop up randomly on screen.

Internet scams include phishing and pharming and allow unwanted individuals to obtain personal information. Rolen advises individuals to protect their identity by monitoring their financial statements and credit reports, shred mail and documents, monitor postal mail, protect your Social Security number, and beware of shoulder surfing.

Social networks are great ways to stay connected with family and friends, but too much information posted on these sites might lead to unnecessary theft. “Never post that you are heading out on vacation for a period of time MATRIX • BACK TO BASICS • KENRA • REDKEN

government No notice to Breeding As partisans challenge her right to run

Betty Bean

Imagine you’re a candidate and the election commission says you’re not a bona fide Knox County resident and schedules a meeting to compel you go to court to defend your right to run. You’d appreciate them telling you when and where the above-mentioned meeting was going to happen, wouldn’t you?

Of course you would.

And so would Shelley Breeding, the lone Democrat in the running for the new 89th District seat in the Te n n e s s e e House of Breeding Representatives. She lives in the Elizabeth Downs subdivision in Karns. The Anderson County line runs through her property.

Knox County Election Commission administrator Cliff Rodgers challenged Breeding’s right to run for the Knox County House seat because she pays her property taxes to Anderson County through a mortgage company. She is a registered Knox County voter.

State election coordinator Mark Goins, a former legislator who holds a law degree, agrees with Rodgers. In a letter dated Wednesday, April 11, he opined that Breeding should be voting in Anderson County but said he figured this issue would end up in court, so he directed the Knox County Election Commission to go to Chancery Court and ask for a declaratory judgment to settle it.

Breeding, also an attorney, says she meets the preponderance of the statutory criteria required to satisfy residency requirements and says she wishes Rodgers had notified her of the election commission meeting set for 8:30 a.m.

Thursday, although she may be obliged to be elsewhere.

“We haven’t been invited to present anything at all at this meeting,” Breeding said. “And I’m on jury duty – in Knox County – next week. They’ve called a meeting to dispute my status as a Knox County resident while I’m on Knox

County jury duty starting Monday morning. That seems ironic. We’re not sure what they’re going to be doing at this meeting and they don’t send us anything, so I would have had no way of knowing about it if (a reporter) hadn’t forwarded it to me. That’s just amazing.”

She also pays Knox County’s wheel tax and personal property taxes and said she consulted the election commission when she moved to her new home in 2008. She was advised that she and her husband could make a one-time choice between Knox or Anderson County as their official residency.

“It’s not like we’ve been in Anderson County and tried to sneak in. When we bought this lot, there was no house on it. Now, under Mark Goins’ theory, we could put a front balcony on our master bedroom and suddenly our house is in Knox County. It doesn’t make sense. He’s relying on a 1931 court case instead of the statute. Maybe that’s why he went into government, not law.”

Is she going to fight?

“I think so. I think I know the law. I’m a Knox County resident and I have been for years.”

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Harry Brooks says the House unanimously passed a bill “that continues the fight against bath salts.” Take more showers, people!

■ Wow! One day you’re making $3.5 million and riding your bike with your girl. Next day you’re unemployed with a broken back. Luckily, Bobby Petrino has a wife to pick up the pieces. Errr, doesn’t he???

■ Weston Wamp, 25, says there’s a serious need for new blood in Washington. His dad, Zach, served in Congress for 16 years. New blood?

Somewhere John Duncan III is taking notes.

■ John Schmid took to task his fellow members of the county’s Charter Review Committee by pointing out they had burned up 45 minutes of a 2-hour meeting debating a motion to defer. “We may be here until hell freezes over before we get anything done,” he said. Ouch!

TVA: Lost in the valley What causes TVA to behave in such an arrogant manner? What has happened to an agency which used to command such respect and support within the Valley? Today TVA is seen as bloated, big salaries, arrogant and insensitive to taxpayer concerns.

It is often their way or the highway. CEO Tom Kilgore has generated new enemies for TVA, assisted by a board of directors which declines to intervene for ratepayers.

The current controversy over tree cuttings within Knoxville and Knox County symbolizes this situation.

TVA has managed to irritate people who normally don’t take sides on TVA issues. Clear cutting all trees under the power lines is not required and is harmful to the environment. TVA claims trimming trees over thousands of miles would be too costly.

Being lectured by TVA on cost savings is hard to take. Only a week ago Kilgore, who is paid millions annually, admitted a $2 billion error at Watts

Affordable housing

By Sandra Clark With a little luck, the Charter Review Committee will get a proposal on the November ballot to rein in the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan. With its defined benefit and mandated three percent annual cost of living increase, the UOPP has become the beast that ate the budget.

With the school board asking for $7 million a year for 5 years over a continuation budget, we’re looking at just over $8 million as Knox County’s contribution to its various pension plans in the upcoming budget, according to Commission chair Mike Hammond.

Of that, $4.6 million is required for the UOPP. The Charter Review Committee formed a 5-member subcommittee to bring a specific proposal about UOPP reform. Farragut resident Diane Jablonski is the subcommittee’s secre-

tary. Other members are chair Keith Lindsey, manager of the Home Federal Bank at Downtown West; County Commissioners Amy Broyles and Mike Brown; and retired county Finance Department official Jablonski Ann Acuff.

“I’m more about fi xing language than writing a pension plan,” said Jablonski.

“The intent (when voters approved the UOPP) was to create a special plan with richer benefits for uniformed officers over and above what the general employees have. I support that intent,” she said. But Jablonski wants to remove the specifics from the charter to enable County Commission to deal with changes over

time. “It’s crucial to note that the Blackwell decision prevents anyone – voters or the commission – from changing benefits from anyone now hired, even if the employee has not worked five years to be vested. If he or she stays employed for five year and vests in the pension, those benefits cannot be changed.”

So the subcommittee met last week with Broyles absent. On a 4-0 vote, the group removed “defined benefit” from Section A and eliminated Sections B and C. They will meet again to consider Sections D and E, Jablonski said.

These sections should not be eliminated, Jablonski said.

The subcommittee’s recommendations will go to the full 27-member Charter Review Committee which can accept them, reject them or change them. Changes adopted will go to voters. Stay tuned.

TVA celebrated the opening of the Dogwood Arts Festival last Wednesday with the clear cutting of trees off Wellington Drive in West Hills. What clueless TVA leader made the decision to do this the same day civic leaders launched this year’s Dogwood Festival?

Is TVA also clear cutting trees within the national parks and national forests where their power lines go? TVA is also worrying about dress codes for their public hearings which now has them in federal court.

Why bother? Doesn’t TVA have more important things to do than telling Chris Lee not to wear red

Who cares? And now they have four attorneys on the case in federal court – all at taxpayer expense.

No doubt they will have four more attorneys on the Westminster tree cutting case, also now in federal court.

TVA has lost its way in the valley.

Mike Hammond says he is not applying to be CEO of the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation (Gloria Ray’s old job) until the differences between KTSC and Mayor Tim Burchett are resolved.

He does not want to be in the middle of that situation. It needs to be resolved anyway. Burchett helped force the issue which ultimately forced Ray to depart. Some KTSC board members are still miffed over Burchett and Rogero intervening and demanding Ray’s ouster.

The KTSC’s current plan to hold public hearings on the public’s views should be co-ordinated with Mayors Burchett and Rogero if they want buy in

for the final product. Right now KTSC does not seem to be working closely with Burchett.

Election Commission member Dennis Francis, one of two Democratic members, missed the March 26 Commission meeting. No explanation was given. Francis is bright and informed. He is an astute partisan. His absence is a loss for Democrats.

City Council member Duane Grieve attended the recent Island Home waterfront hearing.

I failed to include him as being present along with five other council members. Audio there was nonexistent. City is working to find a new sound system for public hearings. That’s something they needed yesterday.

Gov. Bill Haslam will be at Blount Mansion on Friday afternoon, April 20. He has recommended $500,000 in the state budget for the Mansion’s capital campaign which will help considerably in restoring the Mansion from serious deterioration.

It was true, too, in the Civil War, Flagel says, especially in communities caught in the midst of mayhem. Don’t forget that both Shiloh and Gettysburg, for example, were basically hamlets.

The mention of Gettysburg gelled into another point.

“We have hindsight,” Flagel said. “Even Lee did not know he was headed to Gettysburg.”

The largest battle ever fought in the Northern Hemisphere happened where it did because two armies bumped into one another. Most of the newspapers thought Lee was headed to Harrisburg, Pa. Chaos, confusion and rumor were rampant. Few reporters got to Gettysburg in a timely manner. (Yep, most were in Harrisburg.) The Baltimore American, for example, reported on July 3, 1863, “no engagement (had

happened) at Gettysburg up to four this evening.”

They hadn’t yet heard about Pickett’s Charge.

One newspaper reported that Gen. George B. McClellan was killed at Gettysburg.

He wasn’t even there.

In spite of what the newspapers said, even Abraham Lincoln considered the fall of Vicksburg, Miss., which also happened the first week of July 1863, as the pivotal battle of the war. In fact, he called Gettysburg a defeat.

But when Lincoln heard the news from Vicksburg, he said, “It is great. It is great. I see the end of the war!”

Many believed at first that Gettysburg was a prequel to something worse, merely the first shot in a coming slaughter. Trenches were dug in Philadelphia, just in case.

“Don’t listen to the history,” Flagel said. “Look at the evidence.”

Reporters had to work.

They didn’t know how long a battle would last. When the smoked cleared they then had to find a telegraph office. Many generals – like today – didn’t even want them around. William T. Sherman said reporters were worse than spies. Spies gathered information for their country.

Reporters did so for money.

And forget the inverted pyramid style of newspaper writing. Because each and every letter had to be set into type one at a time, the freshest news could often be found in the middle or at the end of a story, sometimes on Page 2 or Page 3.

Names, even of the generals, were misspelled; those wounded but living were reported dead (including Ar-

thur MacArthur, Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s father).

“Accuracy,” Flagel said, “is the first casualty of war.”

The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable meets monthly each second Tuesday at Bearden Banquet Hall. Info: http://www.discoveret.org/ kcwrt/ or visit its page on Facebook.

to critique new coaches, the proposed running attack and the realigned defensive front.

The game is free.

The golf event honors the memory of Jimmy “Cowboy” Hill. Thousands of Tennessee fans don’t know him. He came Marvin as a wingback from an undeWest feated team at Maryville High to become an outstanding defensive back in 1949 and 1950.

He was deserving of all-star glue who once held the T Club recognition but there wasn’t together, will be praised. enough to go around.

The gathering will resume This was the era of Hank Saturday at the Lauricella Lauricella, Doug Atkins, Bert Room in Neyland Stadium, Rechichar, Jack Stroud, John in advance of the Orange Michels, Gordon Polofsky, and White game. Some will Andy Kozar, Jim Haslam, stop spinning stories and Pug Pearman, Jimmy Hahn, go watch football, the better Ted Daffer, J.W. Sherrill, Bob

Davis – the list of great ones goes on and on.

Hill had several claims to fame. As former teammate Ollie Keller tells it, Jimmy was nicknamed Cowboy by Gen. Robert R. Neyland and not because he wore boots or a wide-brimmed hat. If Hill hit a runner or receiver and didn’t get a clean knockdown, he “wrangled” his foe to the ground as a rodeo cowboy might throw a calf.

Neyland loved the competitive spirit. Teammates loved the label. The tag stuck.

Hill was a hero in the 1951 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas. Lauricella had the historic 75-yard run. Kozar scored twice. Cowboy made

big fourth-quarter plays that proved pivotal.

With the Longhorns leading 14-13 and driving, Hill intercepted a pass and returned 28 yards. Tennessee fumbled away that opportunity but Texas fumbled it back on the next play – and Hill recovered. The Vols responded with the winning touchdown.

Hill was a winner. He played on the NFL champion Detroit Lions in ’51. After a military climb to colonel, he played briefly with Pittsburgh and finished with the Ottawa Rough Riders. He was state chair of the Selective Service System.

He was a businessman and chair of the Blount

County chamber of commerce. He served on the Maryville City Council. He was on two bank boards.

He was president of the UT lettermen’s club when the golf tournament idea hatched. Others found that a good reason to tie his name to the event.

There was only one Cowboy but there are hundreds of former Volunteers who played a part in what Tennessee athletics used to be. Many added other significant accomplishments. Each has a story.

Old Vols are very interesting. They deserve to be remembered.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

The first casualty of war The realization, when it came, smacked Thomas Flagel right in the face.

Flagel, an assistant professor of American history at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tenn., has been studying the Civil War, and reading newspapers from the period, all of his professional life. He said, though, that for years he missed what had literally been right in front of him.

“The newspapers were telling me the Confederacy was dying when the editors weren’t,” Flagel told the Knoxville Civil War Roundtable at Bearden Banquet Hall last week. He spoke on “Messengers of Death: How the Press Presented the Civil War.” When Southern printing presses died, Flagel said, parts to replace them were in the North.

Northern newspapers

had a oneto two-day response time to n e w s ; Southern newspapers had a oneto two-week Thomas Flagel r e s p o n s e time, “when things were good.”

The North had 12,000 miles of telegraph lines; the South had about 500.

Seventy percent of Southern newspapers shut down during a two-year period.

“The Confederacy was bleeding to death, including in ink and print.”

In a crisis, Flagel says, humans desire information. It’s part of our fight or flight instinct. It is still true in the 21st century. On Sept. 11, 2001, for example, Internet usage increased 1,000 percent.

Old Vols gathering This is fellowship week for old Vols.

A hundred or more former Tennessee athletic lettermen will gather for golf on Friday at Avalon. Hall of Fame linebacker Steve Kiner has been practicing. Fleet receiver-running back Stanley Morgan will participate.

Old tailback Herky Payne will talk a very good game but probably won’t play.

Chick-fil-A will feed the multitude. Balls will fly, some in the designed direction. Gift bags, plaques and prizes will follow. Judy Constantine, the

The forgotten story of the Sultana HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

More were killed in boat disaster than in the Titanic

Although its history has been largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Andersonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition.

With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard.

The 400 troopers of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry (USA) were by far the largest unit of military passengers. Many of them from Blount, Knox, McMinn and Monroe counties had been captured by Gen. Nathan B. Forrest at Athens and Sulphur Branch Trestle, Ala. on Sept. 24-25, 1864. When exchanged for Confederate prisoners held by the North at the end of the war, they had been sent to Camp Fisk near Vicksburg, Miss., to be processed before they were transported to Camp Chase, Ohio, for discharge from the army.

Their eagerness to do whatever it took to get home and the disorganization and corruption of the officers in charge of their transportation allowed far too many to board the boat, which had a rated capacity of only 376. The river boat company was collecting $5 per enlisted soldier and $10 per officer and, although he knew the ship was vastly overloaded, the captain finally approved his human cargo

and began the trip upriver toward Memphis at 9 p.m. April 24.

It was significant that one of the boat’s four large boilers was found to be leaking prior to reaching Vicksburg and, rather than taking the three days required to replace the boiler, a patch was placed over the bulge in less than a day.

In addition to the perilous overloading of the boat, the Mississippi River was at flood stage as the heavy snows of a severe winter in the northern states had thawed and added that volume to that of the usual spring rains. The Sultana’s two engines labored under the strain.

Proceeding upriver, the boat reached Memphis at 7 p.m. April 26. After unloading some cargo and after taking on coal on the Arkansas side of the river, the Sultana had reached a series of small islands called Paddy’s Hens and Chickens seven miles above Memphis where the swollen river was nearly four miles wide.

It was 2 a.m. on the black, cloudy night of April 27. As most of the passengers slept on the crowded decks, one of the huge tubed boilers exploded with a volcanic fury that a witness on the shore described as the sound of a hundred earthquakes. Soon two more boilers exploded. Splintered debris and live coals filled the sky. Scalding water and clouds of steam showered the prisoners.

Hundreds were killed outright or blown into the water to drown.

The upper decks soon collapsed and many unfortunate souls, trapped in the resulting wreckage, could only await certain death as fire spread throughout the hull.

Within 20 minutes the entire superstructure was burning.

Until 1930, the survivors of the disaster gathered each April for a reunion.

Shown here at the 1920 reunion are P.M. Keeble, Wallace Milesap, G.W. Hulett, Pryor Draper, D.A. Headrick, J.H. Simpson and A.P. Varnell. Photo courtesy of the C.M. McClung Historical Collection

The burning wreckage began to drift slowly downriver. Only 76 life preservers and two small lifeboats were on board, so most of those who survived had jumped into the river. Hundreds were struggling there in the water when the first rescue boat, the Bostonia II, arrived at about 3 a.m. Other vessels eventually joined the rescue.

By about 3:30 a.m. cries could be heard out across the river as some of the passengers floated down on bits of lumber. Cutters from the gunboats began sweeping the river for survivors.

When dawn came, the remains of the Sultana had drifted to the west bank of the Mississippi and sank off the tiny settlement of Mound City, Ark. All up and down the river citizens still worked to rescue those floating by in the water or those who had found refuge in tree tops that were nearly cov-

The packet boat Sultana, shown at Helena, Ark., only one day before its explosion on April 27, 1865, was so overloaded with 2,300 passengers that it listed 20 degrees when so many rushed to the rail for this photograph.

Since there was no accurate count of those who were boarded at Vicksburg, there is no accurate count of those who died. The most reliable sources place the death toll at more than 1,700, (compared to the 1,517 who died when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912).

A court of inquiry was soon appointed to investigate the tragedy.

Neither that group nor others who investigated the disaster later held anyone liable for the appalling overcrowding. The supervising inspector of steamboats shed the most light on the cause of the tragedy.

He concluded that the quick repair

to the boiler at Vicksburg was made with a metal plate too thin to stand the pressure of the steam.

For many years the local survivors of the Sultana Disaster met on April 27 to commemorate the loss of their comrades, often at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Maryville Pike.

When Pleasant M. Keeble of Vestal passed away in 1931, the last known local survivor was laid to rest in the Eusebia Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Blount County.

The 25th annual reunion will be held April 27-28 near Cincinnati, Ohio. Those interested in attending the meeting should contact Norman Shaw at 693-2171 or email shawclan4@bellsouth.net.

It was the worst of times Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.

(Habakkuk 3: 17-18 NRSV) I have seen him. I have not heard his story firsthand, but two people I trust completely have told me the saga. We believe the story is true.

His young daughter died of meningitis. A few years later his wife died of cancer. He and his son lost a house to floods and moved to another state, where their house was ripped apart by a tornado.

I don’t know his name, but I call him Job. I can’t imagine how he gets up in the morning. I can’t fathom how he remembers to breathe in and out. I am grateful, for his sake, that his son lives here, but I also can’t imagine the sense of dread, the wondering “What’s next?” that must pervade every day of their lives.

What does such tragedy mean? That God is out to get him? That God is indifferent to human suffering?

That God is testing him?

That God has favorites,

Lynn Hutton

CROSS CURRENTS or contrariwise, God has scapegoats?

That God is powerless?

I say a resounding “No” to all of those. At least, intellectually that is what I believe.

When I can think rationally about it, I believe that God set some rules in place in the natural world: cells divide (a good thing), but sometimes they get overzealous in their multiplication and cancer occurs. Winds blow, spreading seeds around, moving weather systems from one place to another and bringing needed rain. Except that sometimes there is more rain and wind than our human-made houses can withstand.

It behooves us all to remember the truth of a line from Robert Bolt’s “A Man for All Seasons,” (my all-time favorite play and movie). Sir Thomas More, imprisoned by King Henry VIII for his firm refusal to take the Oath of Allegiance (concerning the King’s marriage to Anne Boleyn), and tried for treason, remarks with wisdom and foreboding and resignation at his trial, “Death comes for us all; even for kings he comes.”

Death is inevitable. It is also remarkably indifferent to our hopes, and dreams and aspirations.

It cares not that we have been hurt before, or that we will be lonely without our parent, or spouse or child.

So can we, like Habakkuk, look steadfastly at all the suffering and calamity around us, realize that we have nothing – nothing!

– and still be able to say, “…yet I will rejoice in the Lord …exult in the God of my salvation.”

I trust so. Because as long as we have God (or, more accurately, as long as God has us) we do not have “nothing,” and we can indeed rejoice in the Lord.

I will pray for “Job.” I invite you to do the same, for him, and for all who suffer misfortune and sickness and loneliness and despair.

Pray for healing, pray for hope, pray for wholeness.

And give thanks to God for all your blessings!

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • APRIL 16, 2012 • A-9

Panthers still swinging, kicking

ally well. ‌ In spite of the new bats, we have managed to have 15 home runs as a team.

That’s pretty good.�

Scarbro praises the team’s pitching as well. “Our team ERA is 1.41.

That’s unbelievable,� he said.

As a team, the Panthers have struck out 118 players and walked only 24, which Scarbro notes is “about as good as it gets.�

At week’s end, the Panthers stood at 13-3, with some of the biggest games of the season ahead.

The weather may be inconsistent, but the Powell baseball team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The Panthers continue to annihilate any district opponents in their way.

Powell remains atop the district standings and currently posts a perfect 11-0 record in the district, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent victims being the Campbell County Cougars.

Powell won both of a twogame series with the Cougars, defeating them 18-0 on April 9 and 10-0 on April 11. Both games were ended after the fifth inning by the TSSAA run-rule.

Powell excels in virtually every area of play, with a team batting average of .357.

The Panthers have scored 147 runs in just 16 games.

Assistant coach Jay Scarbro says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting re-

Ellias Palcu. The Panthers led 1-0 at halftime. The Devils scored at the beginning of the second half after a 30 minute rain delay. Shortly thereafter the game was called. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though they tied us, the proof is in the pudding how we played,â&#x20AC;? said Palcu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to meeting them in districts (should it occur).â&#x20AC;?

Palcu saw reason for optimism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a wider field. â&#x20AC;Ś We are able to play that to our advantage with our wings,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Panthers had missed chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had more opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said Palcu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to capitalize on plays that we are given.â&#x20AC;?

Palcu believes his team can be successful in the rest of the season if they get back to full strength. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be playing a lot (in April). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be pretty game fit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all looking pretty positive right now.â&#x20AC;?

Opening doors A sports injury can derail a young person’s plans, but it takes a special perspective to see an injury as an opportunity.

Dr. Phil Nielson, who owns Nielson Chiropractic in Halls, took two sports injuries as opportunities for success.

Shannon Carey

Nielson has always been an athlete. In high school, he played football, baseball and basketball, and did track and field in the off season. After a knee injury his senior year, he saw his football scholarships disappear.

Instead of giving up, Nielson concentrated on track and field as part of his rehabilitation. He won the South Carolina state tournament in shot put and discus and turned that success into a track scholarship at Baptist College in Charleston.

But, Baptist College didn’t offer his real love: the javelin throw. He transferred to UT, which had the best javelin program in the country. After graduation, while working in the St. Mary’s physical therapy unit, Nielson was still excelling at the javelin. He was ranked third in the U.S. and sixth in the world, he’d been named Knoxville Track Club’s Athlete of the Year, and he was training for the 1984 Olympics.

Then, at a track meet, Nielson slipped on a wet, grassy surface and injured

By Sandra Clark Bob Crye is proving to be more than a commissioner who seconds motions and votes yes. Crye joined Hallsdale Powell Utility District commissioners Jim Hill and Kevin Julian as Mayor Tim Burchett’s only appointment to HPUD’s governing board.

Last week, he quizzed president Darren Cardwell and chief finan-

cial officer James Smith about plans to refund, or re-issue, HPUD’s Series 2002-A and Series 204-B bonds – about $45 million in debt. Smith showed commissioners a 3-inch stack of papers which he has submitted to the state Comptroller. He estimated savings “of around $4.9 million” depending on rates at the time of the refunding.

Smith said the Comp-

his groin. The orthopedic surgeons he saw said he’d never throw again, never play sports again.

He might even walk with a limp, they said.

“That opened a new door,” said Nielson.

A friend who was a chiropractor asked Nielson to come to his office. The treatment he received healed Nielson’s injury.

He wouldn’t go to the Olympics, but he could play basketball and ski again. Nielson enrolled in chiropractic school and completed the four-year program in three years, taking 36 hours each quarter.

“Without track, going to school was easy,” said Nielson. “There was no sweating involved.”

Nielson opened a practice in Halls, where he’s practiced for more than 20 years.

Nielson said he’s not getting rich off his practice. He doesn’t rack up treatments just to pay the

Wednesday, April 25, to take final action on the plan.

The district’s chief counsel, Bud Gilbert, said he had not seen Smith’s proposal, and Hill instructed staff to run everything past Gilbert.

“I sleep better at night” knowing Bud is our advisor, Hill said.

HPUD set 14 water meters and inspected 17 sewer hookups in March, Cardwell said. The district treated 216.7 million gallons of water and 325.2 million gallons of
