No rise in PF property tax By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — City officials are set to vote on keeping the property tax rate in Pigeon Forge the lowest in the county when they meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday in City Hall. Even as they have battled with a budget shortfall nearing $3 million at the start of discussions, the members of the City Commission have unanimously agreed increasing the levy wouldn’t be one of the strategy’s they’d use to bridge the gap. Now, as they also cast votes on

the final draft of the budget, they’re ready to make it official by maintaining the $.1242 per $100 standard. That will hold onto the position of lowest in the area, with the closest competitor sister city Gatlinburg’s $.1493, while Sevierville more than doubles both those at $.31. The last time the rate changed was in the mid-1990s, when it was actually moved down slightly. While it’s more typical for cities to up the number, with many considering just that action in the current recession, Pigeon Forge officials have maintained the downward trend

out of concern for the city’s residents, who already pay what the leaders consider high levies because of the equally elevated property valuations. During the recent budget discussions, the possibility of raising some existing taxes, including the one on property, and creating some new ones was brought up, though each potential was quickly swatted down in turn. “I don’t think we can put that burden on our people,” Commissioner Joyce Brackins See Tax, Page A4

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer A draft list of impaired waterways released recently by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation shows more than 150 miles of local streams and rivers have been significantly impacted by the demands human activities put on them. Commonly called the 303(d) list, a name given to the document in each state because it stems from Section 303(d) in the Clean Water Act of 1972, this year’s roster includes 23 local waterways that have tested positive for everything from E-coli bacteria to high acidity. Among those is the entire course of the French Broad and West Prong Little Pigeon rivers. Listing doesn’t necessarily mean exposure to the water will equate to severe sickness, though the Tennessee Department See Waterways, Page A3

Clabo: Education key to protecting rivers, streams By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — After a few years on the job and countless hours spent trying to teach people about the importance of and regulations regarding protecting local waterways, Sevier County Stormwater Management Department Director Doyle Clabo says he thinks he’s finally getting his arms around the situation.

“The biggest thing that’s helped as far as our effort goes is education,” Clabo says as he sits behind his desk in the county’s planning office behind stacks of water quality reports and inspection sheets. “We’ve had to educate people on all this stuff because a lot of people really don’t know a whole lot about any of it, including the laws.” People seem to have learned about Clabo, his office and how it works to protect local waterways now. He

regularly gets calls from folks willing to turn in their neighbors if it means protecting the water sources everyone in the county relies on and, at times, their own property. “We do have people who call us to let us know that their neighbor’s septic system is backing up into the stream or they have sediment running onto their property from grading next door,” Clabo says. “We also See Clabo, Page A3

Bolze files plan on how he can repay victims By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer KNOXVILLE — Admitted Ponzi schemer Dennis Bolze says he can repay those he swindled out of $21 million in just about four years if U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Varlan will let him collect licensing fees from a software program he developed. Bolze last week filed his plan

for how he will repay the multitude of investors both locally and internationally he swindled, a condition that will be part of any sentence he receives as punishment for four felony counts each of money laundering and wire fraud. Bolze’s court-appointed attorney Kim Tollison officially entered the document, along with Bolze’s proposal for the community service he could provide if

he’s released from jail. In the papers, Bolze offers what he says is a “conservative” estimate of potential profits from the software licensing, projecting the recruitment of just three trading companies to use it would bring in $274,000 a month. That could give him the means to repay his debt, including court and other costs, in just 46 months. The total Bolze is likely to be

ordered to pay to victims is about $13 million, a figure determined by the court and federal investigators to be the “actual loss” from his investors. The number was arrived at by subtracting the total of dividend payments Bolze made to earlier investors with payments made by new investors from the total $21 million he took See Bolze, Page A4

Submitted report OAK RIDGE — Get a glimpse of the biodiversity of the Great Smoky Mountains in the “Discover Life In America� exhibition of 20 photographs of plants and insects through Sept. 26 at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. Each framed image of the fairly small life forms has been enlarged to over 10 times its actual size. “Discover Life in America� (DLIA) has been embarking on a quest to identify and understand all the species of life within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. DLIA reserachers seek knowledge about life, from spiders in the soil to slime molds in the forest canopy. The primary tool of DLIA is the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI), which brings in scientists to inventory the estimated 100,000 species of living organisms in the park. Since collecting began in 1998, the ATBI has uncovered 890 species new to science, as well as 6,129 species that are newly documented to exist in the Smokies.

Duncan presses for action on teacher bill By ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press Writer MEMPHIS — U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Friday pressed Congress to move on a $23 billion education jobs fund intended to keep teachers in the classroom, saying approval of the emergency aid before school starts in the fall will help stave off an “education catastrophe.� Duncan spoke Friday to the National PTA Convention in Memphis. The public appearance in Tennessee came after the state was awarded $500 million in federal grants in late March to encourage programs that boost student achievement and improve failing schools. In remarks before his speech, Duncan said the education jobs legislation is critical for the nation’s schools and their super-

He tells the people who call about the color of the river how a gully washer in the mountains will sometimes wash dirt into the streams that feed the Little Pigeon, though he goes out to check after he gets the information to see if he can trace the source of the “objectable color,�

of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) issues warnings with the list each year that point out even streams that look clean can be teeming with bacteria. Signs have been put up along certain local waterways, including the West Prong Little Pigeon, with disclaimers cautioning against swimming or fishing because of pollution. For several of the impacted channels locally, the real danger is to fish and other aquatic life. For instance, the French Broad is once again on the list because of issues with low oxygen in and high temperature of the water. While that may not seem like a bad thing for people, it can be terrible for marine animals that rely on that oxygen and can die in huge numbers due to even slight temperature variations. All those circumstances, the TDEC report indicates, can be traced back to Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Douglas Dam. It’s not that TVA is necessarily doing anything wrong. Rather, construction of older dams like Douglas didn’t take such issues into account, particularly not when they were built on crash, World War II schedules. TVA has been working locally and at other facilities to test out ways to improve downstream conditions, including drawing water from the cooler and more oxygen-rich reservoir bottom for regular releases, a TVA spokeswoman recently told The

intendents, who are figuring out staffing levels for the fall. But the bill has seen little progress amid reticence among moderate Democrats over Duncan deficit spending in an election year, and its fate is uncertain. Duncan and some members of Congress view the measure as a life raft for 100,000 to 300,000 teachers and other school personnel whose billions of dollars in stimulus salary subsidies run out this fall. The American Association of School Administrators estimates that 275,000 education jobs will be cut in the coming school year. Duncan said he’s concerned about class sizes getting larger,

half acre home site and the just got it all ready when a storm came in and washed some away. We’ll tell them about things they can do to stop that.� Sometimes, though, the problem is bigger. For instance, right now there are about half a dozen stalled developments Clabo is keeping an eye on in conjunction with the state. They’re sites where work started on a project and as the grading proceeded, the money ran out with the economy’s downturn, leaving some massive plots of exposed red clay dirt. If the developer still has control of the property, the fix can be fairly easy. Clabo will just tell those folks to keep up with silt-

ation fencing, a practice wherein a low screen is put up around the outside of the property and near any waterways to filter sediment out of rainwater, or plant some grass to keep the dirt in place. Unfortunately, what the county officials have seen more of in the ongoing recession are sites where banks now have control of a project and are simply holding it until they can clear it from their books through sale. In the meantime, not much is done to protect the site in many cases. “The best way to deal with sediment problems is to stabilize the site,� Clabo says. “You can’t go back once you’ve already done your grading, so we want

Mountain Press. Though that means some improvement for the French Broad, fixes on the 22 other local waterways on the list likely won’t be so easy. That’s because many of the pollutants found are from common parts of everyday life, like flushing toilets, idling cars and animal waste. While there are fixes for those problems, they’re not mandatory and it seems unlikely everyone will voluntarily make the potentially costly or lifealtering changes. The study found that nine of the impacted waterways, almost all of which tested positive for E-coli, landed on the list because there are pasture grazing areas upstream. Cattle and other livestock allowed to roam near waterways have the tendency, if they have access, to also tromp through and even do their business in those waterways. Named in the report for that kind of impact were Nails Creek, Waldens Creek, Happy Creek, Boyds Creek, Middle Creek, Cove Creek and Dumplin Creek. Human byproducts make more appearances on the list than animal flop, though. Eleven of the waterways contained at least trace amounts of fecal matter or other waste, with credit given to septic

tank leakage and failure of sewage collection systems. Such pollution often leads to a warning against coming into contact with the water. Among the local streams and rivers that carry that dubious designation are the Little Pigeon River, West Prong Little Pigeon River, Gnatty Branch, King Branch, Beech Branch, Dudley Creek, Roaring Fork, Baskins Creek and Holly Branch. While there are potential solutions for both those problems, like moving grazing areas and shoring up septic systems, some of the issues found in local waters are harder to combat. While one might assume the water coming out of Great Smoky Mountains National Park would be pristine, given that there is no development in the more than half-million acre preserve, that’s not the case according to the list. Eight streams in the park’s Sevier County area are impaired, all of them because of the high acidity of the water. For half the credit is given to acid rain, the same atmospheric disposition of airborne pollutants that has been credited with killing some plants in the park, collecting in those basins and lower-

ing the pH of the water. It seems likely that’s the source of the other issues as well, though TDEC officially states it has not yet been able to determine a source. For the waterways on the list locally not much ever seems to change. Many of them appear on the impaired record year after year, though TDEC’s report claims a stream or river’s listing makes it “a priority for water quality improvements. “These efforts include traditional regulatory approaches such as permit issuance, but also include efforts to control pollution sources that have historically been exempted from regulations, such as certain agricultural and forestry activities,� the report’s introduction reads. The Clean Water Act and federal Environmental Protection Agency rules require the states to complete a 303(d) list annually and to show that some effort is being made to shorten the list each year.

Duncan also noted Tennessee’s success in landing the $500 million as part of the competitive “Race to the Top� program, a $4.35 billion Obama administration initiative. Delaware will receive $100 million. Both states were praised for merit pay policies that link teacher pay to student performance and their charter school laws that are welcoming to the nontraditional education models. Tennessee, like others in the country dealing with tight finances, needed the money. The National Assessment of Educational Progress report shows more than 70 percent of Tennessee’s eighth grade students read at basic and below basic levels. About 65 percent of Tennessee schools don’t offer reading classes after third grade. State officials have said some of

as it’s officially called, to development or other human action. Those complaints about sediment washing onto nearby properties or into roads get a visit from Clabo or another in the office, with strict state and local laws dictating what measures must be taken to prevent the problem. “When we started this most people weren’t event getting the permits when they were doing developments,� Clabo says. “Now, our major issue is getting them to put up the silt fences and things like that required by law when you’re doing this kind of earth-moving and grading work. We go out and sometimes it’s just somebody’s graded off a little

the elimination of summer school and after school programs, and school districts moving to four day weeks. “We have to stave off what could be an education catastrophe,� Duncan said. “I’m pushing as hard as I can to have Congress act and to act with a real sense of urgency. “This is not something they can debate for four or five months and do in September, October, November. It’s too late.� Duncan said he will launch a national teacher recruitment campaign this fall, speaking with juniors and seniors in high school and freshmen and sophomores in college about becoming teachers. “Our ability to attract and retain talent over the next couple years is going to shape public education for the next 25 or 30,� Duncan said.

the money will be used to address a reading deficiency problem among Tennessee’s middle and high school students. Tennessee’s application envisions distributing about half the money to local school districts, spending $109 million on failing schools and $62 million on professional development programs. Tennessee has a good opportunity to “shape the national conversation� on teacher evaluation, Duncan said. But Duncan added that the easy part was getting the money; the hard part for Tennessee and Delaware is implementing their plans. “They’re not going to do everything perfectly, they’ll make some mistakes along the way, but I think this is the more important work, frankly, going forward,� Duncan said.

to see them completed. The real problem is when we’re having to work on a project that has been foreclosed on and we’re having to work with a lot of different people and try to get something done.� All the education efforts seem to be helping. While straight-piping, in which sewage is dumped into a stream from a line run from a nearby home, used to be fairly common in some of the more secluded parts of the county, Clabo says he isn’t getting as many reports about it now and isn’t finding them much when he’s out inspecting local waterways. Clabo is also working with folks like Mark

Samples in the Sevier County Environmental Health Department to catch problem septic systems and the people down at the Agricultural Extension office to teach about alternatives to grazing livestock in and around streams. While the list of impaired streams may not seem to reflect it, Clabo is convinced there is progress being made. “We’ve come a long way in just the few years since this program started,� he says. “Most of the time people respond well when we tell them this stuff and they want to be good neighbors.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Rebecca Lobo returns an autographed basketball to Erann Forte, 11, of Kansas City, Mo., during induction festivities at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Saturday. Lobo was a Connecticut All-American and all time career leader for rebounds and blocked shots. The 1996 Olympic gold medal team member and played in the WNBA player with New York Liberty. Lobo is one of six inductees in the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2010.

in through the scheme he ran out of his Gatlinburg home. The filing comes just a little over two months before Bolze is set to be sentenced in federal court and represents part of his plea for a lighter sentence than the potential decades in jail time and millions in fines he faces. In e-mails to The Mountain Press, Bolze’s victims have derided the proposal as “ridiculous,” saying he would use any freedom he gets to start his swindling ways again. “If Mr. Bolze spends even one day out of jail, he will con somebody else,” victim Carol Muszik cautioned Varlan during a recent hearing. “He has sentenced us all to life by stealing all of our money. He has left many people with no hope to recover and I think his sentence should do the same to him.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Trey Hamilton, who is prosecuting the case, seems to agree with the victims, calling the plan, among other things, “outlandish” in his court-filed response to Bolze’s proposal. Bolze, on the other hand, sees the plan as a good thing for both himself and his victims, with the filing pointing out their repayment could come quickly if he’s allowed to move for-

ward. Bolze has had success in the past pushing software based on a style of trading he claimed he was using when recruiting investors, though it of course later turned out he invested no more than a half million dollars throughout his entire fraud of nearly a decade. He spent several years making stops at seminars and even hosting them at his Campbell Lead Road mansion expounding the virtues of his system, which called for making only three trades a day based on mark movements. If the first trade came up a winner, Bolze said, he stopped for the day. Bolze claims he had a hand in developing a program called Fibonacci Trader, information about which can still be found on a seemingly long-neglected Web site. When the man he has said he partnered with on the project died, Bolze started claiming all the royalties from the licensing of the product. It’s not clear if there are still firms using it or, if so, what’s happening to the profits. It’s also not clear if that software, which Bolze sold during his seminar presentations, is the program Bolze plans to use in the proposed repayment plan, though the cost listed on the Web site for Fibonacci Trader is considerably lower than Bolze proposes to bring in. The plan sug-

gests a court-appointed supervisor oversee the operation. Even if he’s given the minimum sentence allowed by federal guidelines of nearly three decades behind bars, Bolze likely would never be free again. That’s apparently a large part of his and Tollison’s motivation for trying to get the lighter punishment. As part of that push, Bolze also claimed in a May hearing that he shouldn’t be held accountable for the victimization of investors in Europe, arguing that an accomplice in Mallorca, Spain, the now-deceased Denys Dobys, was in charge of the overseas operation. In the community service proposal, the filing argues Bolze would make the perfect spokesman to warn folks about how to spot and avoid a Ponzi scheme.

“Who better to teach and educate investors against becoming a victim than a person who has, let’s say, victimized investors?” the proposal reads. Bolze proposes to run a Web site and give seminars to teach folks how to spot those doing what he has now admitted to doing himself. His victim, meanwhile, believe any such opportunity would simply give Bolze a chance to get back into his old ways, setting up a new scheme under the guise of being a changed man. Though he has already been courtordered not to engage in futures trading activities, those who lost money with him before point out not having a license to run a trading business and being on the wrong side of the law didn’t stop him before and won’t this time.

Colorado alters teacher tenure rules

Crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill washes ashore in Orange Beach, Ala., Saturday. Large amounts of the oil battered the Alabama coast, leaving deposits of the slick mess some 4-6 inches thick on the beach in some parts.

Coast Guard to BP: Speed it up ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — The Coast Guard has demanded that BP step up its efforts to contain the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the weekend, telling the British oil giant that its slow pace in stopping the spill is becoming increasingly alarming as the disaster fouled the coastline in ugly new ways Saturday. The Coast Guard sent a testy letter to BP’s chief operating officer that said the company urgently needs to pick up the pace and present a better plan to contain the spill by the time President Barack Obama arrives on Monday for his fourth visit to the beleaguered coast. The letter, released Saturday, follows nearly two months of tense relations between BP and the government and reflects the growing frustration over the company’s inability to stop the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history. The dispute escalated on the same

day that ominous new signs of the tragedy emerged on the beaches of Alabama. Waves of unsightly brown surf hit the shores in Orange Beach, leaving stinking, dark piles of oil that dried in the hot sun and extended up to 12 feet from the water’s edge for as far as the eye could see. It was the worst hit yet to Alabama beaches. Tar-like globs have washed up periodically throughout the disaster, but Saturday’s pollution was significantly worse. “This is awful,” said Shelley Booker of Shreveport, La., who was staying in a condominium with her teenage daughter and her friends near the deserted beach about 100 miles from the site of the spill. Scientists have estimated that anywhere between about 40 million gallons to 109 million gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf since a drilling rig exploded April 20, killing

11 workers. The latest cap installed on the blown-out well is capturing about 650,000 gallons of oil a day, but large quantities are still spilling into the sea. The Coast Guard initially sent a letter to BP on Wednesday asking for more details on its plans to contain the oil. BP responded, saying a new system to trap much more oil should be complete by mid-July. That system’s new design is meant to better withstand the force of hurricanes and could capture about 2 million gallons of oil daily when finished, the company said. But Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson said in a follow-up letter Friday he was concerned that BP’s plans were inadequate, especially in light of revised estimates this week that indicated the size of the spill could be up to twice as large as previously thought.

ply had to work for three years to gain tenure, the typical wait around the country. After the bill survived a filibuster attempt and passed a key House vote, Democratic Rep. Nancy Todd, a 25-year teacher who opposed the measure, broke into tears. “I don’t question your motives,” an emotional Todd said to the bill’s proponents. “But I do want you to hear my heart because my heart is speaking for over 40,000 teachers in the state of Colorado who have been given the message that it is all up to them.” While other states have tried to modify tenure, Colorado’s law was the boldest education reform in recent memory, according to Kate Walsh, the president of the Washingtonbased National Council on Teacher Quality, which promotes changing the way teachers are recruited and retained, including holding tenured teachers accountable with annual reviews. Walsh thinks Colorado is now at the head of the pack in the second round of the Obama administration’s Race to the Top competition, a $4.35 billion pot of stimulus money designed to prod just such changes.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado is changing the rules for how teachers earn and keep the sweeping job protections known as tenure, linking student performance to job security despite outcry from teacher unions that have steadfastly defended the system for decades. Many education reform advocates consider tenure to be one of the biggest obstacles to improving America’s schools because it makes removing mediocre or even incompetent teachers difficult. Colorado’s legislature changed tenure rules despite opposition from the state’s largest teacher’s union, a longtime ally of majority Democrats. Gov. Bill Ritter, also a Democrat, signed the bill into law last month. It requires teachers to be evaluated annually, with at least half of their rating based on whether their students progressed during the school year. Beginning teachers will have to show they’ve boosted student achievement for three straight years to earn tenure. Teachers could lose tenure if their students don’t show progress for two consecutive years. Under the old system, teachers sim-

Police: About 2 dozen missing after flood LANGLEY, Ark. (AP) — Rescue crews took to kayaks, horseback and ATVs on Saturday to resume the desperate search for about two dozen campers still missing after flash floods swept through a popular campground, killing at least 17 people. The pre-dawn Friday surge along the Caddo and Little Missouri rivers caught sleeping campers in and around the Albert Pike Recreation Area by surprise, leaving them little time to try to scramble in the darkness to higher ground and safety. The last person found alive was rescued late Friday morning. Arkansas State Police Capt. Mike Fletcher said there were about two dozen people still unaccounted for as of Saturday morning — a number far lower than some had feared. By one estimate, there were some 300 people in and around the campground when the floods swept through, and a call center fielded inquiries about 73 people who hadn’t been accounted for as of Friday night. At least six of the 17 people confirmed killed were young children, according to a list released Saturday by Gov.

Mike Beebe’s office. Among the 15 victims identified, five were from one Louisiana town, Gloster, including three children. Three other victims were from Louisiana, and six were from Texas. Just one of the 15 was from Arkansas. The search was expected to take several more days, or even weeks, and anguished family members of the miss-

ing who gathered at a church in nearby Lodi on Saturday could only wait helplessly. Some cried and embraced one another, and some held their head in their hands. “They’re just devastated. The time for shock has probably gone and now it’s just anxiety building. They’re beginning to fear the worst,” said Graig Cowart, the pastor of the Pilgrim

Rest Landmark Missionary Baptist Church. He said there were 24 people still unaccounted for Saturday morning. Brigette Williams, an American Red Cross spokeswoman, said among the grieving are a couple of grandfathers who know they’ve lost grandchildren and are waiting to hear about others.

Opinion on fish hatchery evenly split By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey told reporters toward the end of the legislative session that e-mails from constituents supported Republican senators’ opposition to a fish hatchery project in northeast Tennessee. An Associated Press records request filled the day after the Legislature adjourned Thursday shows that GOP senators received just 16 e-mails about the $16 million fish hatchery, and that they were evenly split on the project. Ramsey’s spokesman did not

respond to a message seeking comment. An impasse in budget negotiations ended only after independent House Speaker Kent Williams of Elizabethton agreed to drop his demand for funding the fish hatchery in Carter County. Ramsey, who lives in neighboring Sullivan County, last year voted for the design of the hatchery. This year he called the project “purely pork barrel spending.” Ramsey, who is running for governor this year, said at a press conference on May 25 that the issue was one “that our members are getting e-mails on, that say please

don’t fund a fish hatchery when you’re cutting mental health.” The e-mails favoring the project were mostly sent to Sen. Rusty Crowe, R-Johnson City, whose district includes Carter County. Former Elizabethton Mayor Sam LaPorte wrote Ramsey and Crowe on May 19 to urge them to approve the project because it would be “a very important development for not only Carter County and Elizabethton, but for the entire Upper East Tennessee area.” Crowe responded the same day that he “would love to have this for Elizabethton,” but cautioned that his colleagues were skeptical.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jesse James is getting his day in court. Quite a few of them, actually. The biker businessman and estranged husband of Sandra Bullock was a fixture in a Los Angeles courtroom this week, where he’s involved in dueling lawsuits with an apparel manufacturer and distributor. James, 41, is scheduled to testify and is expected to attend all the proceedings. The case, with millions of dollars on the line, is far from the only one involving James. It is, however, one that centers on his business rather than his personal life. He is also embroiled in a custody dispute in neighboring Orange County with his ex-wife.

commentary

Service on submarines truly unique There is a certain bond that exists among those who served their country aboard submarines, a camaraderie unlike that of any other group of people who shared a common experience. Stan Mize enlisted in the Navy right out of high school in 1960. He wanted to serve aboard nuclear subs. He eventually did, but his route took many years and a number of boats (not ships; subs are always referred to as boats). At times he and his fellow mates were at sea, under water, for three months, virtually incommunicado with family and friends. The work could be boring, tedious, but one never new how that might change in a moment. During his years on subs Mize doesn’t remember anything especially exciting or dangerous. There was a fire once in the engine room, but it was quickly contained. “We never faced any enemy,” Mize said. “Others had exciting things to happen, but for me it got boring after a while. But I was OK with that.” Mize was instrumental in forming and maintaining Smoky Mountain Submarine Vets, an organization based in Sevierville, but including veterans from as far away as Cookeville. “A lot of people didn’t know what we did,” Mize said of those who served aboard subs. “That’s why The Pentagon says so cavalierly that we don’t need submarines. We were instrumental in winning the Cold War.” People also don’t know how much training is involved in serving on some of the boats. Mize began aboard the Queenfish in 1961, a diesel type boat that had been used in World War II battles. He had signed up for the special nuclear program and made a six-year commitment to the Navy, but first came sub school, training, learning, crosstraining, testing, then more training. He eventually earned his Dolphins, or the badge showing he had qualified for sub service. All that took about two years. Then came training for work on nuclear subs. He attended a nuclear power school in California for six months, then trained aboard a prototype boat in Idaho. Six months there. He became a reactor operator, a guy who sits in front of the boat panel. Complicated work, detailed, tedious. He finished that phase of training in June 18963. Three years had passed and finally he was headed for work aboard his first nuclear submarine, the Thomas Edison. The sub had two crews. Each served at sea for three months; one crew stayed in port. The Edison, with a crew of 120, carried 16 ballistic missiles. “You get to know everybody well,” Mize said. The sub stays underwater the entire time of deployment. If you’re claustrophobic, the Nay would have known it by then. The mission is secret. Twice during the deployment the crew can receive a family-gram — up to 15 words sent usually by a spouse or parent saying all is well back home. The messages are screened to be sure they are encouraging. The messages are received thanks to a trailing, floating wire that serves as an antenna. It’s needed primarily so the ship’s captain can receive orders, but also for the family messages. Mize has been married to wife Judy for 48 years, so much of his time in the Navy he had a wife and two children back home. Fortunately, both kids were born when he was in port, not at sea. Otherwise he wold not have been able to be at her side during the births. Mize left the Navy after eight years, earned a degree at the University of Illinois, then got a doctorate in clinical psychology from Southern Illinois. He joined the Army and served 12 years as a clinical psychologist before retiring and eventually moving to Sevierville. The sub vets group formed in 2006 and met the first time in Knoxville before moving to the restaurant inside Bass Pro Shops. The group meets monthly, and as many as 40 to 50 people who served aboard submarines attend, including 94-year-old Charlie Odom of Knoxville who qualified for subs in the 1930s and served in World War II. Got submarine experience and want to be part of the group? They meet again at 6 p.m. Thursday at the restaurant. Call 429-0465 or 692-3368 for details. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press.

Editorial

Off course Freebies at Eagle’s Landing another example of official wrongdoing Few things get a taxpayer more riled up than to find out some people are getting things for free simply because of who they are. That has apparently been a long-standing practice at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course. Thanks to Alderman Barry Gibbs, we know about it now. Gibbs brought to light last week the freebies given to some golfers because of who they are. While others paid greens fees and cart fees, these privileged guys showed up, got waved through and played all they wanted without paying anything for it. This occurred under the leadership of disgraced former course director Faye Randolph, who wad fired in March after an investigation showed alleged financial irregularities. The practice of letting some people play for free apparently has been stopped, as directed by City

Administrator Steve Hendrix. Under the new policy, only Hendrix and Mayor Bryan Atchley can authorize free rounds of golf. Gibbs brought the unfair policy to light as officials discussed a golf course that is running a deficit of over $500,000 between what officials expected the course to bring in and what it actually is generating. For sure, there are a number of factors causing that deficit, including construction of the extra 18 holes that has caused disruption. But how many thousands of dollars in greens fees have been lost because some got to play for free, and how many bigwigs received this perk? We may never know. Hendrix has been cracking down on improper activities at Eagle’s Landing, and that’s good. He has had his hands full in the wake of Randolph’s departure and what the

investigation into her leadership showed. The financial woes at the golf course are bad enough without taxpayers finding out income was lost because people played without paying. If you were an avid golfer who could play for free at a quality course, would you? Easy to be self-righteous and say you wouldn’t, but most people probably would. The fault here is not so much with the golfers getting the preferred treatment, but the employees who permitted it. Thanks to Alderman Gibbs for bringing to light a dishonest and improper activity. And thanks to Hendrix for ending that and other wrongdoing at Eagle’s Landing. Municipal golf courses have a tough time making ends meet and breaking even without these kind of shenanigans getting in the way.

Arizona’s new immigration law can’t be enforced without bias

Editor: Recently, state lawmakers in Tennessee voted to congratulate the state of Arizona for passing SB-1070 and House Bill 2162. These bills are titled “Support our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act.” SB-1070 defines illegal immigration, human smuggling, unlawful transporting, hiring of illegal immigrants and failure to enforce these statutes. House Bill 2162 amended certain wording in SB-1070 and changed the penalties. Having summarized the content of this law, the purpose of this letter is to voice my strong opposition. The Arizona law was sponsored by State Sen. Russell Pearce. Mr. Pearce has an obsession with immigration issues, a less than stellar reputation and has been associated with neo-Nazi and white supremacist persons and groups. Kris Kohach, the lawyer that wrote the Arizona law, is with the legal arm of the

Public forum Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed FAIR as an anti-immigration hate group since 2007. The Anti-Defamation League lists FAIR as an anti-immigration (legal and illegal) extremist group. FAIR has an extensive record of racism and bigotry. The law itself places a burden on law enforcement officers and cannot be enforced without discrimination. The law clearly states that legal contact with a law enforcement officer must occur and reasonable suspicion must be developed. Reasonable suspicion in layman’s terms is when, considering the totality of the circumstances, there is a reasonable suspicion to believe that criminal activity or wrongdoing has, is or will occur. This is less than probable cause which requires a showing that a crime was probably committed and the defendant probably committed it. In regards to this new immigration law, it is impossible to develop reasonable suspicion without considering the race/skin color of the suspect. Crimes of all types are committed by all races; therefore, investigative stops

are not discriminatory. Unless police officers are prepared to ask everyone they come in legal contact with for proof of citizenship or status, then a certain race is being profiled or discriminated against. Crime was cited as an urgent need for this law. FactCheck.org reports that violence in the border areas is not committed by persons who emigrate to find work, but by gangs associated with Mexican drug cartels. In 2008 the violent crime rate in Arizona was the lowest since 1966 and property crime was the lowest since 1971. The Arizona Department of Public Safety reports all crime (property and crimes against persons) has decreased over the past five years. The 2009 Uniform Crime Reporting comparison showed overall crime down 11.89 percent. Arrests are only recorded as male or female — there is no mention of immigration status. I intend to make it quite clear to the state of Arizona that while certain Tennessee lawmakers are complimentary of the law, I am not. Bill Dayton Sevierville

Most Valuable Player

Offensive Player of the Year

COMMENTARY AND OPINION

Choosing All-County team was no easy task

Justin Carter was not only the Tigers’ offensive catalyst at the top of the lineup, he was one of District 3-AA’s top pitchers and one of Sevier County’s most respected players among coaches.

Zach Flynn had nearly double the home runs and RBIs of his next closest county competition while leading the Bears to their first district title in more than 40 years.

Pitcher of the Year

Coach of the Year

After two years of consideration, I decided to pull the trigger this year on an all-county baseball team. Had I known the difficulty it would cause, I might forgotten about it. Infinitely more difficult to choose than the all-county football team, baseball proved quite a challenge. There were many factors to consider including level of competition, team results and individual statistics. Unlike the football squad, where coaches simply make nominations by fax, every local coach called me after my initial e-mail requesting nominations. Undoubtedly, some feelings will be hurt.

But I’m confident that we got it right. Every single player included was nominated by at least two area coaches. No one left off the team was named on more than one ballot. When it came to the superlative, sportswriter Cobey Hitchcock and myself listed primarily to the coaches, but did weigh in on the final decisions. Congratulations players. You all deserve it after one of the finest seasons of county baseball.

Freshman of the Year

Wil Crowe had the kind of freshman year most dream of. Not only the team’s third option on the mound, Crowe proved the Tigers’ best hitter, putting up a .476 average with five homers.

Most Improved Player

Love him or hate him (and some opponents and rivals surely do), but there’s no questioning the success Lance Traywick has brought to Sevier Bret Gallihugh put up video game numbers on the mound (1.12 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 62 1/3 County. The 2010 team won the school’s first disinnings). The ETSU signee also helped PF to sec- trict baseball title in 42 years ­â€” which is a long way from the program’s humble position when tionals — just one game from state. he took over the job five years ago.

Junior catcher Cory Clark made a huge jump for the Seymour Eagles. Last year he hit .285 on JV and was average behind the plate. On varsity in 2010, Clark hit .415 and threw out 55 percent of runners.

WORLD CUP SOCCER

Dempsey goal gives US 1-1 Cup tie against England By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

Michael Sohn/AP

United States' Clint Dempsey, top left, celebrates with fellow team members after scoring a goal during the World Cup group C soccer match between England and the United States at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa, Saturday, June 12.

Green got a hand on his angled shot and it deflected off the corner of the goal. Howard, who needed treatment in the first half when Emile Heskey slid into his chest, saved the Americans time and again in the second half, frustrating the famous high-priced stars he faces each week in the Premier League. With each save late in the game, louder chants of “U-S-A!� erupted from Sam’s Army and American Outlaws, groups who made the long and expensive trip from home to sit among the vuvuzela-blowing fans on a cool night in the Southern Hemisphere. “I think when you play at the highest level and against the best competition, it will bring the best out of you,� Howard said. England must try to regroup as it seeks its first major title since winning the World Cup at home in 1966. The U.S., trying to rebound from first-round elimination four years ago, got a boost as it heads into first-round games against Slovenia on Friday and Algeria on June 23.

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — The record will show it was a tie, but it was hardly that. One found renewed confidence; the other will feel the heat. The United States and England played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in their World Cup opener, with the Americans rallying when Clint Dempsey scored on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green and U.S. goalie Tim Howard withstood a second-half barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates. Steven Gerrard put England ahead in the fourth minute, blowing past Ricardo Clark to beat Howard from short range. But Dempsey tied it when Green fumbled his 25-yard shot that skipped off the ground twice. “I’m glad it’s over, there was a lot of hype and pressure,� Howard said. “I’m glad we put in a performance we can be proud of. But we can’t make too, too much of it.� Jozy Altidore nearly put the U.S. ahead late, but

COMMENTARY AND OPINION

Want to enjoy the World Cup? Patience, and a good atmosphere are essential If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it 10 times this summer — who cares about the World Cup? I, for one, and about two billion other people around the globe. While I, like most Americans, am not the most knowledgeable soccer fan, I know enough to get by and enjoy the once-every-fouryears World Cup. Saturday, as I took a seat at The Fox and Parrot in Gatlinburg for a plate of fish and chips (excellent job Brian Papworth and crew, by the way) I knew I was in for a treat. The place was packed and most of the patrons were there for one reason — U.S.A. versus England in the opening round of World Cup group play. I’d never been to the quaint English pub, but a quick trip to their website let me know that they regularly showed English Premiership League matches, a sure sign the World Cup would be on the tube and a good crown would be in attendance. Sure enough, it was great. There was a mix of fans of both England the the underdog U.S. squad, and the place got loud following the U.S. goal and any great play. It’s my personal opinion that viewing the World Cup in such a venue is essential to true enjoyment of “the beautiful game.� Watching soccer with people that really know the game instantly helps newbie

viewers. And unlike most hockey fans (yeah, I’m one of those, too), soccer fans tend to be really newbie friendly, quick to explain rules and nuances that may miss first-timers. It also takes patience at first to appreciate soccer. We’ve grown so accustomed to the MTV/ESPN/ Headline News style of broadcasting, that it makes it hard for most of us to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes without a fight, highlight

play or, God forbid, an explosion. If you have any desire to see what all the fuss is about, find a good European-style pub, or even a Mexican restaurant, and hit it the next time a World Cup game is on (U.S. plays next June 18). If you’ve got an open mind and a taste for competition, you’ll likely love it. Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Serian Frahm, of Memphis, and Mike Byrley, of Chicago (right), enjoy the U.S. and England World Cup match at The Fox and Parrot in Gatlinburg.

Smokies win home run derby, top Jaxx 7-3 win SEVIERVILLE – With their backs to the wall and second place a real possibility, the Tennessee Smokies came out with a sense of urgency Friday night against the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. Austin Bibens-Dirkx’s eight-strikeout performance and Brandon Guyer’s second home run in three nights propelled the Smokies to a 7-3 over the Diamond Jaxx in front of 4,825 at Smokies Park. The win gives Tennessee a 1.5-game lead over West Tenn for first in the Southern League North Division with eight games to go. A Russ Canzler RBI single off West Tenn starter Mauricio Robles (5-3) to left to make it 1-0 Smokies, and Josh Vitters’ single scored Matt Spencer and give Tennessee a 2-0 lead. Bibens-Dirkx would get into a bit of trouble in the fourth. The Diamond Jaxx’ Scott Savastano hit a two-run

double off Tennessee’s starter to tie the game at two. The teams would enter into a home run derby in Friday’s middle innings. Matt Spencer (7) and Russ Canzler (6) each hit solo home runs in the fourth and sixth innings, respectively, to put the Smokies back in front 4-2. Savastano answered for West Tenn with one of his own to make it 4-3 Smokies. Guyer would put the nail in the coffin for West Tenn with a three-run shot in the bottom of the eighth off West Tenn reliever Edward Paredes to pad the Smokies lead to 7-3. The Smokies bullpen followed up Bibens-Dirkx’s outing with a scoreless final three innings. Luke Sommer (2.0 IP, K) and David Cales (1.0 IP, H, K) ensured BibensDirkx (5-2) would get the win. He allowed three runs on five hits, walking two and striking out a season-high eight.

AD says Texas still looking at ’all options’ for conference AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas is still “looking at all options” before deciding whether to stay in the crumbling Big 12 or move to another league, athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Saturday. Dodds spoke outside of his stadium suite before Saturday’s Texas-TCU baseball game, but declined further comment on what those options are. Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. The Longhorns are considered the key to the league’s survival, particularly after it lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) in a matter of two days this week. The Texas regents have scheduled a meeting

Tuesday for “discussion and appropriate action regarding athletic conference membership.” An official at a Big 12 school with knowledge of the talks confirmed that Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was traveling to Texas and Oklahoma this weekend to present a case for Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to join the Pac-10. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the discussions. Pac-10 officials did not immediately respond to e-mail messages seeking comment. Texas President William Powers Jr. and football

coach Mack Brown watched the baseball game from Dodds’ suite. Powers, when stopped in the stairwell of Disch-Falk Stadium, declined comment. “I’m just watching the ball game guys,” Powers said. Texas would need the regents’ approval to change leagues. Texas Tech has also scheduled a Tuesday regents meetings. Texas A&M, which is reported to be considering a move to the Southeastern Conference, has not scheduled a regents meeting. Texas A&M President Bowen Loftin would not comment this week on speculation that A&M is considering moves to the SEC or the Pac-10.

The Sevier County Middle School Tennis League recently ended its 2010 season with a spring tournament at Sevierville City Park. Approximately 90 middle and elementary school students participated in the event, followed by a cookout and awards presentation. Boyd’s Creek Elementary School dominated the league in the varsity division, with Boyd’s Creek 1 team winning the regular season with a perfect 5-0 record, and Pigeon Forge Middle School claiming runner-up honors. Boyds Creek had enough players this fall to field two teams, and the program, coached by Robin Smith, Pam Shirley and Kristy and Mark Danby, was so strong that they won the regular season Varsity Division, where older middle school players are expected to dominate. Boyds Creek 1 Varsity also won the spring tournament, and Pigeon Forge Middle School coached by Bill DeLozier was runnerup. In the Junior Varsity Division, Caton’s Chapel, coached by Michael Hughes was regular season champs, and Phi Beta Phi, coached by Jim Mayfield, was runner-up. In the Junior Division tournament, Phi Beta Phi Elementary was the champion and Caton’s Chapel Elementary was the runner-up. The league, now in its fourth year, has had so much interest from younger players that league director Jack Hatfield recently decided to split into varsity and junior varsity divisions. This was done so fifth and sixth graders would not have to compete against seventh and eighth graders. The league started officially in 2007 as a middle school league after Phi Beta Phi and GatlinburgPittman Elementary had played each other only informally the previous year. Urged by Gatlinburg Tennis Director Jim Mayfield and G. Webb, current Gatlinburg-Pittman coach, Hatfield recruited coaches for Pigeon Forge and Sevierville Middle schools and formed the new league, inviting also Covenant Christian Academy. Hatfield, a Sevier County resident, was on the board of directors of the Greater Knoxville Tennis Association, which was also focusing on the growth of middle school tennis in the area, and encouraged him to found the league. The current league con-

sists of Sevierville Middle School, Pigeon Forge Middle School, Boyds Creek Elementary School, Phi Beta Phi Elementary School, and Caton’s Chapel Elemetary School. In the 2010 fall season the new Catlettsburg Elementary School and The King’s Academy are expected to join the league, which has provided instruction and competitive play to over 300 Sevier County students since it’s founding in 2007. With the junior tennis league growing and The Tennis Corner pro shop in Gatlinburg, tennis appears on the upswing in Sevier County. Reflecting the broadening age range, the Sevier County Middle School Tennis League will change its name in the Fall 2010 season to Sevier County Junior Tennis League. Sevier County students from the fifth grade through the eighth grade are invited to participate. If any Sevier County elementary or middle school student goes to a school that does not field a team, that player will be allowed to play on another school’s team. The mission of the league is inclusion, exercise, and getting kids hooked on tennis. The league is also a feeder system for the area high schools, and has already improved the Sevier County high school programs by getting more kids interested in tennis at an earlier age. Any Sevier County student who interested in participating in the Fall 2010 season can call league Director Jack Hatfield for more information at 4288744. Another change for the 2011 spring season will be altering the format to a doubles ladder played on Saturdays. This is a solution to the problem of limited court access in the spring. The junior league coaches can self-schedule practice around the high school practices, and the doubles ladder can be played at a time when no high school matches are scheduled. Traditionally across the country, high schools play in the spring and middle schools play in the fall. However, after the first SCMS Fall season in 2007 the requests for a fall season was so overwhelming, Hatfield decided to have two seasons for Sevier County middle school students. This has contributed to a huge demand for public courts in the spring, as several of the middle and elementary schools do not have home courts and must share Sevierville City Park and Pigeon Forge City Park courts with the high schools, private instructors and the general public.

CA teen sailor healthy, weary after 3 days adrift By CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press Writer THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — A California teenager who spent three days adrift on the turbulent Indian Ocean described her ordeal as “crazy” as she started a long journey home aboard a French fishing boat that rescued her Saturday from her crippled sailboat. Abby Sunderland was bumped and bruised but otherwise healthy, her parents said after hearing from the 16-year-old in a 20-minute phone call to their home northwest of Los Angeles. “She sounded tired, a little bit small in her voice, but she was able to make jokes and she was looking forward to getting some sleep,” her mother, Marianne Sunderland, told reporters outside the family home.

Her mother, who is close to giving birth to a boy, said her daughter joked about her ordeal affecting the baby and also talked about plans for the next school year. The young sailor continued to blog after being rescued more than 2,000 miles west of Australia two days after a wave broke the mast of her boat, Wild Eyes, satellite phone communication was lost and she set off emergency beacons. “Crazy is the word that really describes everything that has happened best,” she wrote Saturday morning from “a great big fishing boat headed I am not exactly sure where.” She will spend more than a week traveling to Reunion Island, a French territory east of Madagascar. “The long and the short of it is, well, one long wave,

and one short mast,” she wrote. She dismissed criticism that she was too young to undertake an attempt to sail around the world by herself. “As for age, since when does age create gigantic waves and storms?” she wrote. Her father, Laurence Sunderland, a boat builder who teaches sailing, said his daughter had thousands of miles of solo sailing experience before she set out and he had scrutinized her skills. “This was not a flippant decision,” he said. “Abigail’s been raised on the ocean all her life. She’s lived over half her life on yachts. ... This is like second nature to Abigail.” Laurence Sunderland said the team of experts that worked on Wild Eyes

Ethnic riots sweep Kyrgyzstan, government begs for help OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — Ethnic riots wracked southern Kyrgyzstan on Saturday, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee as their homes were torched by roving mobs of Kyrgyz men. The interim government begged Russia for troops to stop the violence, but the Kremlin offered only humanitarian assistance. At least 77 people were reported killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the violence spreading across the impoverished Central Asian nation that hosts U.S. and Russian air bases. Much of its secondlargest city, Osh, was on fire Saturday and the sky overhead was black with smoke. Roving mobs of

young Kyrgyz men armed with firearms and metal bars marched on minority Uzbek neighborhoods and set homes on fire, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee. Stores were looted and the city was running out of food. Kyrgyzstan’s third straight day of rioting

also engulfed another major southern city, JalalAbad, where a rampaging mob burned a university, besieged a police station and seized an armored vehicle and other weapons from a local military unit. “It’s a real war,” said local political leader Omurbek Suvanaliyev.

Marianne and Laurence Sunderland, parents of would-be solo roundthe-world sailor Abby Sunderland, talk with reporters at their home in Thousand Oakls, Calif., Saturday morning. and the circumnavigation project were “second to none.” He said his daughter desired to sail solo around the world since she was 13 but he considered her “not fit” at that age or 14, when she was already helming by herself.

“And I did a lot of things to dissuade her actually by showing her the ferocity of the ocean around here ... taking yachts in very adverse conditions and to see what her mettle was made of,” he said. He said his daughter simply “caught a bad

wave.” “Should age be a factor here?” he said. “Abigail has proven herself. She sailed around Cape Horn, the Cape of Good Hope. She’d endured 50 knots and 60 knots-plus of wind prior to this unfortunate circumstance.”

Struggle to come up with subject of week’s column I’ve struggled to figure out what to write for this column this week. That might sound strange for those who’ve been keeping up because it’s not like there hasn’t been stuff going on in my life. It’s true, I got married three weeks ago yesterday, tying the knot with a wonderful local girl in a wonderful ceremony in my hometown of Morganton, N.C. The church was beautiful and so was she, the festivities were great and the whole day went off without a hitch. Being married so far has been great. We’ve been working to mesh our own personal lives and our household belongings, something that will likely take quite a while to do. Still, we’re making progress. I’ve also been on a fantastic honeymoon to Hawaii. The place is unbelievable. We spent time on Oahu, where Honolulu is, and Kauai, where mostly nothing is. We paid our respects at Pearl Harbor and explored downtown Honolulu, home to the only royal palace on American territory. We drove around the entire island of Oahu in our rented Mustang convertible, even coming through a rainbow on the famed north shore, where surfers brave ridiculous and world-famous waves. On Kauai we took an airplane ride around the island that revealed an other-worldly landscape of mountains that fall straight off into the ocean. One of the tallest peaks on the island is the wettest spot on earth, recording more than 700 inches the year I was born and between 400 and 600 inches annually. From that high point waterfalls spill constantly out of the highest swamp in the world, cascading thousands of feet down the side of the mountain and, in some areas, into a gash in the earth that Mark Twain called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” We also explored wonderful beaches surrounded by famous landscapes that have been featured in movies like “South Pacific,” “Jurassic Park” and “Six Days, Seven Nights.” We went below the waves, snorkeling out into a reef visible from space that had fish colored so brightly they practically glowed. But the point is, you would expect us to have a great time on the honeymoon and you would expect us to think the wedding was beautiful. I have to think that most people out there in reader land don’t really want to dedicate part of their Sunday to reading about my personal life. That’s why I struggled in figuring out what to write about. What I decided on isn’t much better I guess, though, especially since I already wrote about all that stuff I just told you you probably won’t care about. Anyway, a couple years ago I wrote a column that documented some of my favorite things, recommendations of things I hope some folks will check out just on my accolades. I figured I’d take that up once more, though I’ll have to be quick about it since I already prattled on about that other stuff. Favorite thing one: Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband, a terrific group of musicians from Utah that defies classification. It’s not exactly bluegrass, not fully Americana, but it is all great. They just released a new CD, “Brand New Shoes,” and my pre-order copy sounds great. Favorite thing two: Moe’s Southwest Grill, and it’s not just because we won free burritos for a year at their grand opening. The food is great and the people are some of the nicest around. Favorite thing three: Pimento cheese from Pimento’s Cafe in Knoxville. I know this is my second food thing and I know it’s a long way to drive for pimento cheese, but it’s definitely worth it. Also try the peanut butter silk pie, the best I’ve ever had. Favorite thing four: Cheerwine. Yeah, I’ve written about it before and it’s still on the list. It’s a great, cherry soft drink from North Carolina that, like the band above, defies classification. It also makes a great drink to toast with at a post-wedding reception when alcohol isn’t your thing or can’t be had because you’re in a holy setting. We can recommend a way to get it in glass bottles if you’re interested. — Derek Hodges is a reporter for The Mountain Press. Call 428-0748, ext. 218 or e-mail to dhodges@themountainpress. com.

Recipes for summer entertaining From Family Features

Most parents face the same mealtime dilemma - making affordable and convenient food that the whole family will like. Time is short, palates are picky and some fear it will cost too much to put real food on the table. Celebrity chef Bobby Flay joined the Hellmann’s® and Best Foods® Real Food Project to help moms tackle the barriers to real food in simple and helpful ways. “Real food does not have to be complicated. With a few basic ingredients, it’s easy to create a meal you can feel good about serving the whole family,” said Flay. Flay encourages using food made with ingredients that are simple and delicious. “Real food that tastes great is something every member of the family can appreciate,” said Flay. “Adding elements like quality mayonnaise made with eggs, oil and vinegar goes a long way toward making real food taste great. You can also use light mayonnaise, which has half the calories and fat of regular and is now made with 100 percent cage-free eggs.” For recipes and how-to videos, visit the Real Food Project at www.Hellmanns. com or www.BestFoods.com.

of being stored as fat. The way to control it is by eating smaller meals throughout the day so that the body is provided a constant flow of fuel and to ensure that carbohydrate foods contain enough fiber. The rules: 1) Eat only those carbohydrates (breads, cereals, grains, etc) that have three grams of fiber per serving or more. Those that have less will cause the blood sugar to rise too quickly. 2) Do not drink anything other than water and 100 percent fruit juice. If you must drink something else, do so with a meal because other high fiber foods will help. Many people mistakenly believe that sports drinks are health drinks, they are not and should only be used when one is sweating heavily. Mothers packing them in school lunches: take note. 3) Eat fresh fruits and vegetables because they have an abundance of natural fiber. 4) Eat 4-6 smaller meals instead of three large ones, but make

certain they have healthy ingredients. 5) Do not overcook carbohydrate foods as this increases their GI rating. It’s easy to see that the perfect diet doesn’t need to follow any extremes, but by understanding how the body deals with blood sugar, it is also easy to see why so many extremes exist. By understanding the GI index and employing the five rules above, anyone can control their weight, and they can do it without having to sacrifice the foods they enjoy. For more information on the glycemic index, including how a variety of foods ranks on the GI scale, visit www.glycemic index.com. — Steve Robinson, a longtime resident of Sevier County, is a freelance writer who has written many health-related articles online.

Picture frames are a great way to help remember a person or event. Why not decorate a frame to go around the picture? Choose things that the person receiving the frame likes (such as fish for a fisherman) to go around a photo of a fishing trip. The frames can be any type. They need to be at least on inch wide and fairly flat to give enough surface to glue things on. Flat five-by-seven wooden ones have a twoby-three-inch cutout for the picture. They can be painted and then decorated with stickers, small plastic miniatures, or pictures cut from magazines. Glue your picture on the back along with a hanger or magnet. You’re finished! Clear acrylic frames are great because a regular snapshot can be inserted and changed easily when needed. Cut or buy shapes from craft foam to glue on the outside. A palm tree from foam along with shells and sand from a beach vacation go perfectly with that picture of mom with a sunhat and glasses. Many acrylic frames are made to stand by themselves so they can be used as a desk decoration. If you are looking for a project for a youth group or birthday party, consider craft foam frames. For a particular theme, draw a template on paper. Trace around the template twice on a piece of the foam. Cut both out with scissors. Draw either an oval or circle on one piece and cut it out.

This is the front of the frame. Spread a thin line of glue around just the outside edge of the back. Leave a space without glue on one side big enough to get your picture through. Place the front on top of the back, matching the edges. You can trim the edges a little after the glue dries. Decorate the front with ribbon, glitter, stickers, or other pieces of foam. Let your imagination run wild. Or, for a group of children, put a collection of items in the center of the table and let them do their own thing. The glue that you use depends on the frame’s surface. For craft foam and wood, choose a thick white craft glue. That will work for flat items on the acrylic frames also. Plastic decorations or things like shells with irregular surfaces will need a glue that will bond to those materials. Read the label carefully. If you are working with children, make sure that the glues and decorations are non-toxic and kid-safe. Have fun making and preserving memories with your friends and family. Above all, happy crafting. — Ava Green is a designer at Terri’s Yarns & Crafts in Sevierville. E-mail to ava@terrisyarnsandcrafts.com or calll her at 453-7756.

A Living Sacrifice Search each room of our heart for presence of God By ALDEN MARSHALL “A little bit of Monika in my life, a little bit of Erika by my side. ... Rita is all I need. ... Mary. ... Jessika.” Christian revival means that Christians quit taking a little bit of materialism, hedonism, eastern mysticism, gnosticism, and base our lives on the God of the universe. “You have hewn cisterns that will not hold water,” warned the Old Testament prophet. We make mistakes (sins) in our 20s and spend the rest of our lives paying for them, one person observed (STDs, abortions, financial disasters ...). But Christian revival means to repent and to turn to the risen Jesus Christ for our hopes and plans and values. I did the opposite of that for several years, as you or another reader did or now does. God can use our past, no matter how we messed it up, fortunately. But I am convinced that when we build on Godly principles and thoughts and actions, we will have better impact on others and a more fulfilling life for ourselves. Revival for me came not because I am smarter or better than others, but because several car wrecks got me thinking that I was heading in the wrong direction. I already knew that, but I personally needed some hard knocks on the head to get me to turn around.

I hope better things for you or your loved ones who are thumbing their noses at God. The Holy Spirit assures us in the Bible that those God loves, he chastens or disciplines, and without that we are illegitimate and not really children of God at all. So when we hit a bump in the road of life, instead of whining I hope we go to the Lord in prayer and then get his perspective. King David did that many times. We read that he inquired of the Lord before he undertook any important action (he did neglect to ask God’s opinion before he committed adultery with Bathsheba and then have her husband murdered). Do we sincerely do that? Or do we plough ahead with our ideas and the opinions of our friends? That is tempting to do, after only a nod to God. Frankly, I do not fast and pray as much as I did in the past, and I am not convinced that I am better off. I do pray much. But I am not in anguish very often over my sins and those of my fellow Americans. The Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. We want to have the joy without the weeping, but that is impossible except in very shallow and trivial ways. When we draw near to God he will draw near to

us. We can be sure that has never happened to us, unless we have caught a glimpse of the holiness of God and how far we are from being holy ourselves. In other words, if we have ever really come into the presence of God, we have been traumatized by the consciousness of our sins. That leads either to hostility and resentment towards God, or to a brokeness before God (Christian revival). Dr. Mounger wrote a little booklet about our heart being the home of Christ. He encouraged us to search each room of our heart, as we would a house. Then, we are to look for anything and everything that would not honor Jesus Christ and get rid of it. We may not have two or three spouses or significant others in our house/ heart, but if we are honest we will regularly find some selfishness, desire for revenge, or other trait that keeps us from being in the center of the will of God. God says in the book or Revelation that if we are lukewarm he will spew us out of his mouth. May God help us to have deeper and deeper layers of repentance, and to take out the little bits (Monika, John, Sam, Julie, materialism, hedonism ...)that keep us from walking humbly with the risen Jesus Christ. — Dr. Alden Marshall is a Presbyterian minister who lives in Gatlinburg.

One of the hallmarks of ancient religion, both Israelite and pagan, was animal sacrifice. Jerusalem, Corinth, Rome, and every other city that had a temple of any sort within its walls would see hundreds, if not thousands, of animals brought in to be slaughtered before God or an idol to make propitiation for misdeeds or to make requests. Therefore, everyone in Rome would understand what sacrifices were, whether they came from Jewish or pagan origins. What Paul is saying would have been abundantly clear Romans 12:1 represents, in large part, the sweeping conclusion to the body of theology expressed in Romans 1-11. Since all of us have sinned but have received reconciliation with God through obedient faith in Jesus Christ, and since God has brought both Jew and Gentile into one body, we are all now to become living sacrifices for God! We are able to do this by God’s mercies. Even though we deserved condemnation (Romans 6:23), God sent His Son to die for the ungodly, allowing our reconciliation (Romans 5:5-11). We do not become living sacrifices in order to earn salvation, for we could never do such a thing. Instead, we become living sacrifices as a response to the mercies God has abundantly provided for us. But this is certainly not a “do-nothing” scenario. God does not take us despite our will and offer us up on an altar like humans would do with a lamb or ewe. We must submit ourselves as the sacrifice! We must recognize that becoming a “living sacrifice” is complete. The sacrificed animal does not give only part of its life up on the altar; it gives up everything. In order to secure our salvation Jesus Christ gave everything up for that purpose (Matthew 20:25-28). If we are going to be living sacrifices we must submit to God in all things-- our will, our thoughts, our hearts, and our actions-- and be willing to suffer the loss of anything and everything, even our own lives (Matthew 10:37-39, Galatians 2:20, 1 John 3:16). As sacrifices we must be holy-- set apart and consecrated, reflecting the image of God in our lives (1 Peter 1:16; Galatians 5:17-24, Romans 8:1-11). There is one major distinction between animal sacrifices and our sacrifice. Once one offers an animal as a sacrifice to God, that animal is dead and done. It cannot be again offered to God in a respectable way. We, however, are to be “living” sacrifices. It is not that we are going to be killed, although circumstances may demand it. Instead Paul wants us to understand that when we offer ourselves as a sacrifice to God it is not merely a one-time thing. It must be continual-we must perpetually place ourselves on that altar and offer ourselves up to God. It will only end when we are no longer living in the flesh (cf. 2 Timothy 4:6-8)! When we present ourselves to God as a living and holy sacrifice, submitting our will to His, seeking to do the good and shun the evil, we are acceptable to God. This is reckoned as our “spiritual service.” As the priests and Levites officiated and ministered before God in the Tabernacle or Temple and thus served Him, so Christians minister before God when they offer themselves as living sacrifices (cf. Romans 9:4, 1 Peter 2:5-9). This service is “spiritual,” which in Greek literally refers to that which is reasonable. Since God has offered up so many sacrifices for us, it is quite reasonable for us to offer ourselves up for Him (cf. Philippians 2:5-11). Since God’s service has been designed to give us spiritual life, so that reasonable service is spiritual (John 3:16, 5:26, 6:27). Animal sacrifices are not nearly as prevalent today as they were in the past, and much of that has to do with the teachings of Christianity. We no longer offer up sacrifices for sin because Jesus was that sacrifice on our behalf (Hebrews 10:4-14), and we no longer offer up any other form of animal sacrifices because we must offer ourselves up as a living and holy sacrifice before God. We must suffer the loss of our own will, our own desires, how we would like to think and feel and act, and instead submit to God’s will, God’s desires, and how God would have us think and feel and act. In order to have life in Jesus Christ it must no longer be our will, but God’s will be done. Let us be the living sacrifices we ought to be to the praise and glory of God through Jesus Christ!

In the days that follow, Mountain Press readers can look forward to your own heritage news corner. It is time to move to the next level. Our many county resources are ready and in place. Many Sevier County folks believe now is the time to actively capture our Sevier County heritage. Our heritage articles will appear in the Mountain Life section of The Mountain Press on Sundays, beginning June 20. We’d like to hear from you — your topic interests, your favorite stories or characters, and later what we are doing well and what we might do even better. Our goal is to submit this column weekly where you’ll find all things heritage. Our eclectic content will hopefully be entertaining, sometimes unique, often humorous, sometimes mythical & mystical, quite often factual and at times nonfactual, sometimes exciting, often highly nostalgic, at times poignant, quite often historical, and continually sprinkled with sudden surprises that trigger your “ahas.� Most importantly, the content must be worthy of your time. The authors will vary from week to week, as will the stories. Yet, their one common thread is Sevier County heritage in its multitude of forms, faces, and facets. Funny stories, sad stories, nostalgic settings, colorful characters, conflicts, traditions, music, sights and sounds, occasions of harmony/accord, a meld colored by the culture, mores, and customs of our Sevier County mountain forebears, will shape the column. We invite you to suggest future topics that interest you, sign up to write a column, consider serving as a volunteer to help us capture our heritage.

Sevier County Emergency Radio Service will participate with thousands of amateur radio operators, often called “hams,� in Field Day on June 26-27. SCERS will be erecting radio stations at the community park on Dumplin Valley Road in Kodak. The purpose of Field Day is to show emergency communications abilities while talking by radio to people all over the continent. Amateur radio activity is growing in the United States. In 2009 over 30,000 new people became hams. There are more than 680,000 amateur radio operators in the United States, and 2.5 million around the world. In the past months, ham radio operators provided critical communications in emergencies worldwide. During fires, earthquakes, tornados and other crises, amateur radio operators often were the only way by which people could communicate. Local operators were called upon to monitor radio frequencies to facilitate communications in Haiti. On June 26-27, the public is invited to attend Field Day. Visitors can even get on the air to experience it. For information call Rick Sawaya Sr., 314-0899.

Eight Sevier County 4-H’ers attended the regional 4-H Fashion and Design Conference. From left in back are Emily McCarter, Victoria Clements, Skylar Walker, Mackenzie Roberts; front row, Kelly Greene, Rachel Jenkins, Stephanie Hanson and Meagan Yarnall.

ARRIVING THE WEEK OF JUNE 21, 2010... Conference for 4-H has fashion focus Eight Sevier County 4-H’ers attended the recent regional 4-H Fashion and Design Conference. This conference was filled with hands-on learning activities and fun. Attending from Sevier County were Victoria Clements, Kelly Green, Stephanie Hanson, Rachel Jenkins, Emily McCarter, Mackenzie Roberts, Skylar Walker and Meagan Yarnall. Using sewing machines, participants made pocketbooks from old jeans. They also made and donated scarves/hoodies to a regional rescue ministry. They designed T-shirts using computer graphics, and created colorful fish pin cushions. Fabric painting also was popular, as students painted their own tote bags. Evening activities included workshops on Color/Beautiful, Fashion Sensibility and Fabric Coil Weaving. A trip to the Cirque De Chine was certainly a highlight, as their management shared information on the Chinese costumes, as well as a career in the fashion professions. Of course, all participants enjoyed shopping at Five Oaks, as well as meals at the Applewood Grill, Salsaritas, Chickfil-A and the Wood Grill Buffet.
