Wears Valley resident Lewis Messick has always been a proud American. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in December 1965, and when he left for Vietnam in the fall of 1966, he was only 17 years old. “A lot of guys I grew up with were drafted,” he said. “It wasn’t a popular thing (going to war), but I didn’t pay attention to that. The Marine Corps had some things I liked, like working on demolition. It was a good experience.” Of course, “good” doesn’t always mean “easy.” “I had never really been around anything like that before, growing up in Wears Valley. Being away from home was a challenge. We were in the northern part of

Local tourism officials will be quietly celebrating traffic jams and long lines at the grocery store over the next few days, well-aware that as the next two weeks go, likely so goes the rest of the summer season that drives Sevier County’s economic engine. The Independence Day holiday’s falling on a Sunday has likely left some business owners scratching their heads about when to give their employees the mid-summer break, with the decision mixed between Friday and Monday. That’s likely to mean the area sees the heavy crowds that settled into the area last weekend continue through next weekend, as folks try to make the most of the three-day weekend, whichever way it falls. “Usually the Fourth of July is a good indicator of how the rest of the season is going to go,” Pigeon Forge Director of Tourism Leon Downey says. “This year especially I think it’s critical that we hit the ground running, so to speak, so we really start to see some better numbers.” The last two years since the national recession started have brought noticeably lower visitation for many local businesses, Downey and Gatlinburg spokesman Jim Davis report. However, so far this year seems to be looking up a little bit. “We knew May was going to be down, but we were See Summer, Page A2

Pigeon Forge puts on homespun patriotic festivities By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — It was the stars and stripes, blankets and shaved ice, country music and fireworks that filled Patriot Park Saturday as Pigeon Forge celebrated 20 years of the Patriot Festival. The event was expected to draw a crowd topping 30,000 to the grassy expanse before the night was capped off by performances by performances from Steve Azar

and Diamond Rio, and a booming fireworks show. “It’s an action-packed weekend in Sevier County,” Pigeon Forge Special Events Director Lila Wilson said. “The Patriot Festival is a tradition. It’s an opportunity to come out, celebrate and pay tribute to the men and women who have secured the freedoms we all enjoy in America.” There was plenty of celebrating and honoring going on throughout the day, too. As children bounced on inflatables and braved a mech-

anized bucking bull, cast members from the Grand Majestic Theater took the stage in a salute to members of the military, past and present. For Wilson and others who helped put the event on, watching the crowds fill the park and take in the revelry was the reward of months of planning and work. “I just enjoy watching all the people having fun,” Wilson said. “This is a great event and people love it.” With the festivities expected to

draw a crowd about six times as large as the total population of the city of Pigeon Forge, it’s obvious the gathering brought out both locals and tourists, Wilson said. City volunteer Jayne Miller had a way to explain that. “What I love about this event is that when the tourists are here, they can still come to a hometown event and have a good time with the locals,” Miller answered when Wilson asked her favorite part of See Festivities, Page A2

the festival. Vendors filled the park from the start of the festivities at noon until the last of the pyrotechnics lit the sky, offering everything from barbecue to fried Oreos. Many of those doing the selling were representatives of various local nonprofit groups, invited by the Special Events office to make their sales as a midsummer fundraiser. For groups like the Salvation Army, which partnered with Papa Johns to offer pizza and a local vendor to offer treats like funnel cakes, the more than $45,000 expected to come into the organizations’ coffers through the event is a God-send. “Summertime is where we sort of start to come to the end of the funds we raised with our last red kettle campaign,� Lt. Justin Caldwell said. “This could be a huge shot in the arm for us.

thing that we take a lot of pride in.� It’s not the only service provided by the post, he said, but it’s one of the most important. Paul Parrott is director of the honor guard. They have about 30 members, he said. They average 50 to 60 funerals a year. They are also available to take part in a variety of patriotic events; for example, they take part in the Memorial Day ceremony at the Sevier County Courthouse every year. “It’s just something that we take a lot of pride in and the honor guard is the (main) thing some people look of the American Legion for,� Allen said. For appearances at a funeral, a family member will tell the folks at the funeral home that a deceased person served in the military, and indicate they would like military honors at the funeral. The funeral home contacts the American Legion, and there’s a process they follow to verify the person served and was honorably discharged. It’s an important last service for veterans, Parrot said.

Crews secure boards to cover the front windows of McClurg Vision Center in Seymour after an SUV crashed into the store Saturday. No one was injured in the accident.

SUV crashes into Seymour business By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEYMOUR — Emergency workers and shop employees are crediting the schedule at McClurg Vision Center from averting what they say could have been a “major catastrophe.� The inside of the store just a few doors down from Kroger was filled with shattered glass, busted furniture and scattered papers late Saturday as a crew worked to board up the front window. Hours earlier a Chevrolet Trailblazer came crashing through the glass, destroying the front desk and chairs where customers usually wait on its way all the way through the store before stopping at a wall near the back. Optician Stephanie Clark, who brought lawn chairs out with her husband and some friends of the shop’s owner to watch the work and ensure the shop was safe, said it’s only the fact the doctor’s office is closed every Saturday that saved the lives of countless folks. “Our front desk is completely gone and the chairs in the front are just scattered everywhere,� Clark said. “I don’t know what would have happened if we had been open. It’s unbelievable the damage it did.� Seymour Volunteer Fire Department Chief Chuck Godfrey said the woman driving the Trailblazer is believed to have had a seizure that caused her to lose control of the vehicle as she made a turn from the driveway into the shopping center. The car veered hard right, jumping the curb and narrowly missing brick col-

umns before crashing into the store. “Both the driver and a male passenger were uninjured and received all the medical attention they needed at the scene,� Godfrey said. “The car destroyed the interior of this building. They went all the way to the back. It could have been a catastrophe if the store had been open today.� Linda Nguyen was working in a nail salon next door when the car drove into the building. “It was very scary,� she said. “I heard just a loud boom. We didn’t know what had happened until we stared to smell something. We had to evacuate everybody. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

SEVIERVILLE — The number of site plans reviewed by the planning commission over the last fiscal yard was the lowest it’s been in the past decade, but officials said there are signs of a turnaround. The commission reviewed 26 site plans or planned unit developments from July 1, 2009 until June 20, 2010, according to numbers Planning Director Jim Bryant included in his annual report to the commission. The second lowest total of the decade came in the previous year, at 36. That was a significant drop from the 2007-08 fiscal year, which saw the city total 79 reviews. The average over the decade was 54. The number of subdivision plats reviewed by the commission was the second lowest of the decade at 53; the low of 46 occurred in 2008-09. Both totals were far lower than the average of 93.

The numbers reflect the downturn in the economy, Bryan said, noting there has been less new construction in the city since the recession began. Still, he said, there are signs for hope in more recent numbers. “Recessionary influences still persist in the national and regional economies, although there are clear signs that some important economic indicators are showing improved vitality,� Bryant said. “If the current improving trends continue, then local building and construction activity should increase as a consequence.� The commission reviewed the report at its regular meeting last week. Other decisions included: n Approval of a site plan for a building a new building on the Parkway n Approval of an amendment to the planned unit development plan for Riverbend Gardens on East Hardin Lane, along with resubdivision of a portion of the property.

Lloyd Norris McDaniels (Poppy), age 83 of Sevierville, passed on to the Lord on Thursday July 1st, 2010. The written language fails to illustrate the great loss in the passing of this man. After bravely serving his country in World War II with the Air Force, Lloyd returned home to teach at and oversee numerous schools as a principal. A devoted Christian, he served as a deacon at Sevier Heights Baptist Church. Driven by an unwavering dedication to the Lord and his family, he helped to shape the character, creativity, wisdom and faith that is all too often lost in our society. The virtue and honor of every great man, every great hero, was found in this one man’s soul. A passionate storyteller, he was able to whisk you away... across the globe on an amazing adventure, hanging on every word and waiting breathlessly for the next twist and turn. He is still the only man that I, his grandson, have ever known to never raise his voice in anger.... never. We mourn today, because the world was a far better place with Lloyd McDaniels in it. A beloved husband to Margie “Clem� McDaniels for 59 years, he has now gone to once again sit with his daughter, Rikie, in glorious heaven. He is also survived by his daughter, Robin Bradley; grandchildren, Rayne Marsh, Eric Bradley and wife Sara, Sarah and husband Jon Lilly, Hannah Bradley and Madison Bradley; brothers, G. Wray McDaniels and wife Rebecca, William O.

Tea party’s next wave rising in Alaska to Colorado

N a t ion B rie f s 2 slain Florida cops mourned

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two police officers gunned down during a traffic stop were remembered Saturday as family men devoted to protecting the public, while the convicted felon accused of killing them was ordered to remain in jail the day after he surrendered. Dontae Rashawn Morris, 24, was denied bail at his first court appearance Saturday on two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of officers David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab early Tuesday. Morris turned himself in at a police station about 10:30 p.m. Friday after detectives spent more than 30 hours negotiating with an associate of his. His surrender ended an intense manhunt in which hundreds of officers in tactical gear combed apartment buildings, vacant homes and even waterways. Detectives fielded more than 400 tips.

Gulf nonprofits fight for survival

BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. (AP) — God only knows what will happen to churches and other nonprofit organizations who say they are struggling for survival because of the Gulf oil spill crisis. Months after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and its well started gushing oil, the British petroleum giant says it has yet to decide how to handle claims filed by religious groups and other charitable organizations that are endangered because people can no longer afford to contribute. Pastor Dan Brown prays BP PLC comes up with a solution quickly: He said he filed a $50,000 claim last month over lost revenues at Anchor Assembly of God. His small, storefront church outlived Hurricane Katrina and is now struggling because of the oil crisis.

of Washington and the stale economy, and eager for fresh faces. In more than a dozen primaries in the months ahead — among them Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee, Colorado, Arizona, Washington state and Florida — tea party candidates are determined to upend the status quo and capture GOP nominations. Could Miller be the next Rand Paul or Sharron Angle — tea party-backed candidates who stunned GOP powerbrokers in Kentucky and Nevada? Murkowski, a moderate and the first woman elected to Congress from Alaska, “is pretty safe but you never know,� says Judy Eledge, president of the Anchorage chapter of the Alaska Federation of Republican Women. Eledge, who is not aligned with either candidate, says Murkowski’s biggest challenge will be reassuring conservatives. On Friday, the senator announced her opposition to President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan. As a state legislator, Murkowski voted to raise alcohol taxes and against a bill to restrict publicly funded abortions. As a member of the GOP Senate leadership, she has displayed a centrist streak. Independents who make up more than half Alaska’s registered voters can vote in the Aug. 24 primary, which analysts say will benefit the incumbent.

New satellite to monitor debris

$ !

"

DENVER (AP) — A new U.S. Air Force satellite will provide the first full-time, space-based surveillance of hundreds of satellites and thousands of pieces of debris that could crash into American and allied assets circling the Earth. If all goes as planned, the Space-Based Space Surveillance satellite, scheduled for a July 8 launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., will have an unobstructed, around-the-clock view of the increasingly heavy traffic in Earth orbit — something the Air Force doesn’t have now.

Remains of WWI servicemen ID’d

TYRONE, Pa. (AP) — U.S. military authorities have identified the remains of a seven servicemen missing in action since their cargo plane went down in Burma during World War II. The men were aboard a C-47A Skytrain that left India on May 23, 1944, to resupply Allied forces near Myitkyina, Burma, but never returned. In 2002, a missionary found a data plate from a crash site about 31 miles northwest of Myitkyina. A military team excavated the site. Aboard the plane were Air Force Tech. Sgt. Clarence Frantz of Tyrone, Pa.; Capt. Joseph M. Olbinski of Chicago; 1st Lt. Joseph J. Auld of Floral Park, N.Y.; 1st Lt. Robert M. Anderson of Millen, Ga.; Pfc. Richard M.

Campaign celebrates 1st Amendment By LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE — Ken Paulson has a message for those celebrating the Fourth of July: Remember the First Amendment. The former USA Today editor convened about 30 people in Chicago three years ago to explore why only one American in 25 can name the five freedoms — religion, speech, petition, press and assembly — of the First Amendment and how to change that. The result of that meeting was the beginning of a national campaign, called “1 for All”, that cul-

minated July 1 with more than 1,100 newspapers displaying ads emphasizing the importance of the First Amendment. “Every July 4 we take a day to celebrate the founding fathers,” said Paulson, founder of the campaign and current president of the Newseum in Washington. “But the truth is, the founding fathers guaranteed liberty for rich white men. It took the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and petition and assembly to secure freedom for the slaves, to guarantee equality for women and to provide equal protection for all. “And so on the Fourth of July,

I think it’s a very healthy thing to celebrate the First Amendment.” Besides the newspaper ads earlier this week, Google also prominently featured the campaign. Ellen DeGeneres is the celebrity face of the campaign this month, followed by John Mellencamp in August. Overall, Paulson said the campaign is a collaborative effort of educators, artists, journalists, lawyers, librarians and many more who believe that the American public would benefit from a greater understanding of the First Amendment and the need to protect all voices, views and faiths.

Cabin rental fiasco ruins special trip It was going to be a special vacation. Erica Jinerson of Ann Arbor, Mich., had arranged to bring her family down to Sevier County in September to celebrate her grandfather’s 90th birthday. He’s from Tennessee, and the trip was announced to him last Christmas. What a surprise it was. They could have chosen to go visit upstate Michigan, but given the option of that or returning to the Smoky Mountains, they all chose to come here. The grandfather’s voice was the loudest. Jinerson, a nurse at the Veterans Administration Hospital, had frequently come to the area for vacations, so she knew just who to call to reserve cabins. Fontaine Cabin Rentals. Yeah, that one. The thing is, Jinerson had always loved working with that company. They usually chose to stay in Heart’s Delight cabin near Cobbly Nob. They loved the view, the cabin’s features, everything about it. She wanted to be sure and get that cabin for the birthday trip, so she made reservations early. And she paid for it all upfront — close to $3,000. She and her husband had saved for months for this trip, and it just had to be memorable. Heart’s Delight would serve as one cabin for the family, and Mountain Critter Lodge nearby was selected as the family’s other home away from home. A week or so ago, a co-worker at the VA called Jinerson into his office to show her something. The Fontaine Cabin Rentals Web site had a message saying the business was shutting down due to illness. Jinerson had made the reservations and paid online, and since she had dealt with the company for many years, she was more concerned about the health of the owners, Richard and Libby Vick, than the safety of her reservations. She called and left them a message on their voicemail expressing concern for their well-being, but also asking about the reservations. Nobody called back. Now she was worried. She called the business, called the Vicks’ home, called everybody she knew to call. No response, no callbacks, nothing. She talked to someone at a cabin rental company that also serves the area, and that’s when she panicked. That’s when she was told that it may not be a health issue, but simply financial problems that led the Vicks to shut down so quickly and without warning, and to have seemingly disappeared. Jinerson has since been in touch with the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. She has been pleased by the assistance from the sheriff’s office, but not so happy with what the real estate people have been telling her. She fears nobody will pursue criminal charges against the Vicks if indeed they have kept money paid to them. Jinerson tracked down a former Fontaine employee who now works for another company and who is glad to be away from her former employers. Erica asked if the owner of the cabins she rented might have been paid and would be willing to let the Michigan family come on down. No luck. “At some point,” I said to Erica in our telephone conversation, “you’ll have to tell your grandfather.” “I know,” she said, and began to cry at the thought of it. They can’t afford to come up with another $3,000 to rent other cabins. She dreads the conversation she will have to have with her excited grandpa. There are at least 7,000 cabins in Sevier County. Maybe even a lot more than that. While many are lived in by the owners, a number are listed with companies so they can be rented to visitors. It’s a big business. When one of the companies that handles such rentals goes bad, it affects the reputation of everyone else. Erica says she loves to come to Sevier County, loves the people, the hospitality. Here’s one reason why. The people at Cobbly Nob Market had agreed to get her grandfather every morning, bring him to the market and give him coffee and The Mountain Press. You wouldn’t see that giving spirit in Michigan, she says. It’s sad and disappointing when people don’t run their businesses or their lives properly. There is a 90-year-old Tennessee native who’s going to be given some bad news soon. It never should have come to that. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press. His column appears each Sunday.

Editorial

Still the greatest As we celebrate our independence, don’t forget our blessings Despite all our divisions, all our problems, all our challenges, America remains the greatest country on Earth. We are the envy of most of the world. We celebrate our freedoms even while we argue over how far they should extend. Our leaders bicker and fuss and seemingly never agree on anything, yet they come together when they have to and present a united front whenever this country is threatened. Today, in the 234th year of American independence, is a time when all of us should pause, if only for a moment, and celebrate what we have. There is great opportunity in this land for anyone to achieve whatever he or she wants to achieve. We have survived a revolution, a civil war, slavery, two world wars, a terrorist attack and shifting political ideologies. We are the only true super power left in the world,

and we are still trying to figure out what to do with all that power. American history really began on the Fourth of July in 1776. Our Declaration of Independence may have been the first time in recorded history that any country said all people were created equal. The odds were against us in our fight against the British. If Las Vegas had existed, nobody would have bet against the boys from England. The British were back in 1814, moving in to burn Washington. They were unsuccessful. On July 4, 1863, the three-day battle of Gettysburg had already sealed the fate of the South and the issue of slavery. The Fourth of July holidays were bloody in World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam. Remember the great celebration on the 200th birthday

of the nation in 1976? And the first Independence Day after 9-11 was one never to be forgotten, both in its poignancy and emotion. There is so much yet to be resolved. The United States is still a work in progress. It’s a democracy that has outlived most in world history. Our challenges, from global warming to energy to terrorism to the economy to education, loom large and seemingly insurmountable. However, stop and look at that flag flying today. Remember what it stands for, and what the United States has endured and conquered over the last 231 years. The land of the free and home of the brave can accomplish anything. It always has. And on this Fourth of July holiday, remember that it always will.

City’s management of golf course makes him embarrassed as resident

Public forum

Editor: I would like to ask the city of Sevierville why the golf course on Old Knoxville Highway is $6 million over cost and why we have a new library where they can’t afford to pay someone to work there full-time and operate under normal hours? Evidently the city has more interest in a golf course that will never make money. It has been plagued with scandal and we put more money into that than maintaining a library. Come on, Sevierville, you make me embarrassed to say I live here and pay taxes. Real poor management, in my opinion. Paul Alwardt Sevierville

Transportation officials need way to stop drivers crossing double yellows

Editor: I frequently find drivers crossing the double yellow lines into my lane or into oncoming traffic when I am behind them. I can think of three possible corrections: TDOT should stop using magnetic yellow paint which pulls vehicles across the lines; due to yellow color-blindness, TDOT should select a different color, again non-magnetic; law enforcement should step up citations for failure to stay within the correct driving lane.

Cavaliers hope to convince Lebron to stay put

Source: Eagles could release QB Vick

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers used their home-court advantage to convince LeBron James to give them a few more years to win an NBA title. Hoping the comforts of home will sway James to stay, the Cavs made their presentation to the brightest star of this summer’s star-studded free agent class Saturday. Following their meeting, which lasted a little more than one hour, general manager Chris Grant was pleased with the visit. “We had a very good meeting with LeBron and his group,” Grant said. “We had fun and it was very interactive. We know LeBron well. I would characterize it as positive.” The Cavs’ entourage, which included new coach Byron Scott, made the three-block drive to James’ downtown business offices to make their homespun pitch to the mega free agent. Hundreds of fans lined the sidewalks outside IMG headquarters with many holding signs saying “Home” and some throwing powder in the air to mimic James’ signature pregame routine. As the Cavs departed, the Bulls’ delegation arrived for their meeting — the last one scheduled with James and his advisors. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf, general manager Gar Forman, vice president of basketball operations John Paxson and new coach Tom Thibodeau showed up at 1:15 p.m. dressed business casual in sport coats. Unlike the other suitors, the Bulls did not cart any visual aids or equipment. Chicago’s hoping the chance to follow Michael Jordan’s larger-than-life legacy — and a roster featuring rising star guard Derrick Rose — will lure James to the Windy City. Wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, James showed up less than two minutes after the Cavs, arriving in a silver sedan before heading upstairs to the eighth floor to listen to the Cavs. Scott was accompanied See LEBRON, Page A9

Serena Williams poses with her trophy, after defeating Vera Zonareva to win the women’s singles final on the Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, Saturday, July 3. WIMBLEDON 2010

Serena nets Wimbledon title By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer WIMBLEDON, England — For the ninth time in 11 years, the name “Williams” was etched on the green board inside the All England Club that lists the champions of the world’s most famous tennis tournament. Serena Williams pointed gleefully as her name was unveiled Saturday next to the year 2010 — her fourth title at Wimbledon and 13th Grand Slam championship. She counted the names: Serena, four times; sister Venus, five. Serena extended the family dominance by overpowering 21st-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 in a one-sided final that lasted just 67 minutes and showed why Williams is considered one of the greatest players of all time. Williams, who improved her record to 13-3 in Grand Slam finals, added to the Wimbledon titles she won in 2002, 2003 and 2009. However, this was the first time she defeated someone other than Venus in the final. Venus, who beat Serena in 2008, was upset in the quarterfinals this week, preventing a fifth all-sister final. “I’m just glad that I was able to win, especially (after) Venus lost,” Serena said. “I really wanted a Williams sister to go ahead and win it. Eleven years consistent is really cool.” That’s something the sisters won’t be able to ignore back home in Florida. “Now everywhere we look there’s another Wimbledon trophy,” Williams said. Then she rolled her eyes and added with a smile, “Not another one of those again.” Dave Thompson/AP After converting an overhead smash Defending champion Serena Williams reacts as she to finish the match, Williams tossed her defeats Vera Zonareva to win the women's singles final racket away, bent backward, looked to the on the Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships.

PHILADELPHIA — A person familiar with the team’s thinking says the Philadelphia Eagles are strongly considering releasing Michael Vick. The person says the team might cut Vick no matter what police conclude during their investigation of a shooting that followed the quarterback’s birthday celebration in Virginia Beach last week. The person spoke to The Associated Press early Saturday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The Eagles issued a statement Saturday saying “any report or speculation that suggests the Eagles are considering releasing Vick are not true. We will continue to gather information and monitor the situation and we will not have any further comment until that process is complete.” Vick has said he had nothing to do with the shooting. He also said he reported the incident to the Eagles and to the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell told the former Atlanta Falcons star after reinstating him last season that his margin for error was “extremely limited.” Vick is entering his second season with the Eagles and is due to earn $5.2 million. A three-time Pro Bowl pick, Vick is Kevin Kolb’s backup and the most experienced quarterback on the roster following the trade of Donovan McNabb. The Eagles were heavily criticized by animal rights activists and fans for signing Vick last summer less than a month after he finished serving 18 months in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting operation. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie called Vick’s actions “horrific” and “despicable.” He said he did serious “soulsearching” before agreeing to sign him. Vick was a model citizen off the field and in the locker room during his first season with the Eagles. He was popular among his teammates, who voted him winner of the Ed Block Courage Award. But this latest incident could end up costing Vick his job, even if he’s exonerated of any wrongdoing.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES

Junior returns the No. 3 to victory lane in Nationwide By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The No. 3 went back to Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway, where Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove a car that honored his late father to his first NASCAR victory in more than three years. Earnhardt, winless in any NASCAR points race since a Sprint Cup victory at Michigan in 2007, took the lead on pit road under caution with 26

laps to go Friday night in the Nationwide Series race. Running a No. 3 Chevrolet with a Wrangler paint scheme to honor his father’s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Earnhardt brought his loyal fans to their feet for the final sprint to the checkered flag. Paul Menard’s wreck with four laps to go put the outcome in jeopardy, and Earnhardt, the leader, decided not to pit under the caution. On old tires, he had to hold off Joey

Logano and a slew of Cup regulars for his first Nationwide victory since Michigan in 2006. Tony Eury Jr., Earnhardt’s cousin and crew chief, was overcome with emotion as Earnhardt crossed the finish line. “We lost everything here,” Eury said softly. “To come back with that number and do this, it means everything.” Dale Earnhardt was killed in a last-lap accident See JUNIOR, Page A9

She finished the tournament without dropping a set. Williams, who has won five of the last eight major tournaments, moved ahead of Billie Jean King into sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list of women’s Grand Slam champions with 13, the most of any active woman player. Williams also has five Australian Open titles, three U.S. Open wins and one at the French Open. After accepting the Venus Rosewater Dish from the Duke of Kent with a curtsy, Williams turned to King, who was sitting in the Royal Box. “Hey, Billie — I got you,� she said. “This is No. 13 for me now. It’s just amazing to able to be among such great people.� King grinned and applauded. “That’s actually my lucky number,� Williams said of 13. Margaret Smith Court leads the Grand Slam list with 24 titles, followed by Steffi Graf with 22, Helen Wills Moody with 19 and Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert with 18 each. Williams said she wasn’t thinking about catching the greats ahead of her or establishing her place in history. “I’m happy to win 13,� she said. “You never know what tomorrow brings.

by Grant, owner Dan Gilbert and assistant GM Lance Blanks. The Cavs were the fifth team to visit with James, following New Jersey, New York, Miami and the Los Angeles Clippers. While those teams could offer James millions and, in some cases, a better roster, none of them had seven years invested in the 25-year-old and none could guarantee him that leaving home would bring him a championship. With James as their leader, the Cavs made it to the playoffs in each of the past five years. But despite having the league’s best regular-season record, they fell short of a title, losing this year to the Boston Celtics

Navratilova also believes Williams has many more Grand Slams ahead of her. “At the rate she’s going, she certainly may catch me and Chris and Helen Wills Moody and who knows, maybe even Steffi,� Navratilova said. “She’s just head and shoulders above everybody else, and those are pretty broad shoulders she’s got.� Posing for photographers, Serena held the trophy on the balcony above the club entrance, then walked through the entrance and twirled and skipped while still holding the trophy as military personnel stationed in the lobby applauded. “I was really feeling Frank Sinatra-ish, ‘Come Fly With Me, Fly Me To The Moon,�’ she said. “This old-style dance. That’s what I felt like at the moment.� Williams graciously congratulated Zvonareva, who played in her first Grand Slam final and was the second-lowest ranked women’s finalist ever at Wimbledon. “Everyone should give her a big round of applause,� Williams said. “She defines what being a champion and never giving up means.� Zvonareva didn’t look intimidated and kept close early in the match, but the contest swung in Williams’ favor when she broke for a 5-3 lead in the first set. Williams squandered her first break point with a return error, but then

hit a perfect backhand lob at deuce to set up another. This time, she ripped a running forehand passing shot down the line, and celebrated by dropping onto her right knee and pumping her left fist. Williams broke again to open the second set and went ahead 4-1 when Zvonareva double-faulted on the third break point of the game. “I think I’m a little bit disappointed at the moment,� Zvonareva said. “Maybe I was not able to show my best today, but I think Serena just didn’t allow me to show my best.� Despite the score, Zvonareva claimed Williams was beatable. “She’s a human being. She’s not a machine,� the Russian said. “It’s very difficult to beat her. You have to play your best. But if you do, you can do it.� As has been the case throughout the two-week tournament, Williams’ big serve was the dominant factor on Saturday. Williams won 31 of 33 points when her first serve was good. She hit her fastest serve — 122 mph — for an ace in the final game. She finished the tournament with a record 89 aces. “I honestly never served like this,� Williams said. “At Wimbledon, whenever I come on this grass and play on this amazing court I start serving well.� The men’s final will be played Sunday, with No. 1-ranked Rafael Nadal going for his second Wimbledon title and eighth Grand Slam overall against 12th-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic.

in the second round. Cleveland can offer $30 million more than any other team on a maximumlength contract, but James has said his only goal is to win championships. The Cavs share his vision. “We’ve done some amazing things the last five years,� Grant said. “We won a lot of games and went deep into the playoffs, but we’re not satisfied with anything we’re doing. We think it’s pretty incredible that LeBron chose to have these meetings in Cleveland, at his home.� Grant politely declined to address any questions

for the media gathered on the sidewalks outside the IMG building, which has been the epicenter for the summer’s free agent frenzy. Cleveland fans, pained by decades of sports heartache and without a championship team to call their own since 1964, can’t bear the thought of life without LeBron. “Without him, we won’t be anything,� said 20-yearold Jordan Martin, who came downtown to support James with his father and three brothers. “If he leaves, the team and the city won’t be the same.�

in the 2001 Daytona 500. Earnhardt Jr. agreed to drive the No. 3, his father’s famed number, with the Wrangler paint scheme that the elder Earnhardt made famous and drove to one of his seven Cup championships. The promotion celebrated last month’s inaugural Hall of Fame induction ceremony and was a collaboration with Richard Childress, who owns the rights to the No. 3 and was Earnhardt’s car owner, Earnhardt’s widow, Teresa, and JR Motorsports. “I was so worried that I wasn’t going to win,� Earnhardt said in Victory

It was trying emotionally to put it together.� It was Earnhardt’s third time driving the No. 3 since his father’s death, and he said this week he wouldn’t do it again — which he reiterated from Victory Lane. “This is it. No more 3 for me,� he said. Logano, who pushed Earnhardt on the final restart, finished second in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third in a Ford for RoushFenway Racing. Brad Keselowski was fourth in a revamped Dodge Challenger for Penske

Racing, while Kevin Harvick — the driver who replaced Earnhardt following his death — was fifth in a Chevrolet from Kevin Harvick Inc.

Fourth marks 1-year anniversary of Steve McNair’s murder By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer

German fans celebrate in Arenales beach in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, after their team defeated Argentina on a World Cup quarterfinal match on Saturday, July 3. 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP

Germany downs Argentina 4-0 in WC By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Don’t mess with Germany, on or off the field. Miroslav Klose scored twice to move into a tie for second on the all-time World Cup scoring list, and Germany backed up its pre-game trash talk with an emphatic 4-0 rout of Argentina in the quarterfinals Saturday. The dominant display — along with Germany’s two other four-goal games — should demand the attention of everyone still playing in South Africa. “It was absolute class,� Germany coach Joachim Loew said. Hard to argue with that. Argentina had been one of the tournament’s darlings, with coach Diego Maradona’s every move causing a stir and superstar Lionel Messi showing you don’t need to score to be sublime. The Argentines rolled into the quarterfinals as one of only two teams to win all its games — the Netherlands was the other — and had been so powerful they never trailed. No wonder a star-studded crowd was on hand at Green Point Stadium, with German chancellor Angela Merkel, Mick Jagger, Leonardo DiCaprio and South Africa’s own Charlize Theron were all spotted in the VIP seats. But Germany overwhelmed the Argentines, and shut down Messi in the process. The reigning FIFA world player of the year leaves South Africa without a goal, and was in

tears after the game. “He played a great World Cup,� Maradona said. “And I tell you, to see Messi cry in the dressing room, whoever says that he doesn’t feel pride for his shirt is stupid.� Maradona was equally devastated. He walked slowly to midfield with his hands jammed in his pockets when the game ended, and couldn’t muster any energy or enthusiasm at his news conference. “I’m as disappointed as all Argentinians,� said Maradona, who cast doubt on his future as national coach. “To see my country lose a football match is very hard for someone who has worn the shirt.� Germany will play Spain, a 1-0 winner over Paraguay, in the semifinals Wednesday in Durban. This will be Germany’s third straight trip to the semis and its 12th overall — nobody has more. But the threetime champions haven’t won a title since 1990. Maybe that’s why their celebration was so lowkey — the Germans are hoping for something bigger in a week. Players hugged and high-fived each other before walking around the edge of the field to salute the crowd. Even a post-game visit from Merkel was taken in stride. “It’s important that we should not emotionally overreact,� Loew said.

NASHVILLE — Vince Young knew exactly what he wanted to wear for Jeff Fisher’s charity softball game. He slipped on a blue jersey with “RIP POPS� and the No. 9 on the back in honor of the late Steve McNair when he pinch hit in the annual game hosted by the Titans coach. Fisher, who spoke at McNair’s memorial and funeral services, called the game in the ninth inning. The score? Tied at 9 apiece. Young knows exactly how he wants to remember his mentor on the one-year anniversary of his death. “I’m going to go out to Momma Mac’s house,� Young said of McNair’s mother. “I’m going to go out there and spend the weekend with Momma Mac in Mississippi. It’s the oneyear anniversary of Steve not being here. It’s going to be a sad moment, but we’re going to eat some barbecue and celebrate the life of Steve McNair and the things that he’s done in my life as well as his family.� McNair was known for his blue-collar work ethic and ability to play hurt during a 13-year NFL career with Houston/Tennessee and Baltimore. That reputation could be why people still struggle to accept how he died. McNair, 36, was shot four times — once on each side of the head and twice in the chest — the victim of a murder-suicide by his 20-year-old mistress in the early hours of the Fourth of July. Fisher’s softball game on June 20, 2009, was the last time McNair, who split time between Nashville and Mississippi after he retired, was seen in public. He just missed slugging two home runs and was happy, smiling, seemingly as strong as ever and signing autographs for his fans. Two weeks later, the holiday celebrations were in full swing with picnics and barbecues when the stunning news spread throughout Nashville. Fisher learned of McNair’s death stepping off a plane in Kuwait with Eddie George being the first to ring through after the coach got cell reception. The outpouring of grief

The team opened the stadium to fans and approximately 9,000 turned out to mourn and watch a commemorative video. About 4,500 people attended his memorial service in Nashville with thousands of others coming by to pay their respects. A helicopter provided live TV coverage while McNair’s body was moved to the church by hearse, and three of the four local stations showed the service live. Thousands more said goodbye in his home state of Mississippi. In his home town of Mount Olive, state troopers helped direct traffic when large crowds turned out to view his body. And nearly 5,000 came to Reed Green Coliseum on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi for one of the biggest funerals in state history. The McNair family even rented buses to bring in people from Mount Olive. Brett Favre, Ray Lewis, Doug Williams and Jay Cutler were among the NFL players present and

past on hand. Young wasn’t slated to speak but summed up the occasion when he talked about the man he knew from football camps as a teenager and was drafted by the Titans to replace. “Steve was like a hero to me, and heroes are not supposed to die,� an emotional Young said. The Titans wore a No. 9 decal on their helmets during the 2009 season. Young got his job back after an 0-6 start and led the team to an 8-8 finish. Off the field, Young has followed through on his promise at that funeral to be there for McNair’s sons as their father had been there for him. Young joined Trenton and Tyler — the youngest of McNair’s four sons — at a pancake breakfast last

September and set up seats for them at Titans’ games and occasionally brought them with him to the interview room. When he wound up at the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement, the two boys and McNair’s widow and mother-in-law shared in the experience as his guests. “The thing is, Steve would do the same for me,� Young said after the game in Miami. However, none of that has made the circumstances surrounding McNair’s death any easier to accept, with a former Nashville police officer trying, and failing, to get a grand jury to reopen the investigation. McNair and Sahel Kazemi were found dead in the afternoon in a condominium the former quarterback shared with another man, separate from his home with his family. The roommate called another friend for help, and it was that man, Robert Gaddy, who dialed 911. A 9 mm semi-automatic pistol was found underneath Kazemi, and five days later the police chief announced Kazemi shot McNair as he dozed on a couch, first in the head, then twice in the chest and then again in the other side of his head before turning the gun on herself. Police said she was a woman spinning out of control, one who had thought McNair was divorcing his wife to marry her only to learn he was involved with yet another woman. She was deep in debt, paying for two cars that included a Cadillac Escalade in McNair’s name, losing her roommate with her rent about to double when police stopped her in the Escalade two days before the shooting. McNair was with her but not charged. He left the scene while she sat in the back of a police car, though he later posted her bail when she was charged with DUI.

Nadal faces Berdych in Wimbledon final By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

Rennie Leon/Tennessee Smokies

Russ Canzler bashed a two-run homer Friday.

Smokies hammer Jaxx 9-0 as Archer wins double-A debut JACKSON, Tenn. – After only producing two hits on Thursday night, the Tennessee Smokies turned the tide on Friday by ripping 16 hits as they defeated the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx 9-0 on a warm Friday night at Pringles Park. Smokies starter Chris Archer pitched five and two thirds innings in his first start with Tennessee, and did not allow a run on three hits as he collected his first Southern League victory. Archer extends his personal winning streak to six games, as he won the final five he started with Daytona in the Florida State League. Russ Canzler’s tworun homer in the top of the fourth inning gave Tennessee their first lead at 2-0. The blast was Canzler’s tenth of the season. Tennessee added one more run in the fourth, as Marwin Gonzalez brought in Robinson Chirinos on a single to give the Smokies a 3-0 lead. The Smokies added four runs in the top of the fifth to break the game open. The

damage was done at the plate by three consecutive RBI singles for Brandon Guyer, Gonzalez, and Tony Campana as the score increased to 7-0. The Morristown Masher, Matt Spencer, lived up to his nickname in the top of the sixth, as he connected on a two-run homer to put the Smokies ahead by nine runs. Marcos Mateo took over in relief for Archer in the bottom of the sixth. It was Mateo’s first appearance since May 12 when he went on the disabled list with an injured knee. Mateo did allow a hit and walked a batter to load the bases, but escaped the jam by forcing Leury Bonilla to ground into a fielder’s choice. Jake Muyco pitched the final two innings in scoreless fashion to preserve Tennessee’s 9-0 win.

Three Smokies to start on SL All-Star team SEVIERVILLE — Tony Campana, Robinson Chirinos, and Blake Lalli of the Tennessee Smokies have been named Thursday to the tentative starting lineup for the Southern League North Division All-Star team. Their selection was announced by the Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs and made by North Division manager Mike Guerrero, who currently manages the Huntsville Stars.

Campana, Chirinos and Lalli will be joining teammates Austin Bibens-Dirkx, Ryan Buchter, David Cales, Hung-Wen Chen and Steve Clevenger on the North Division roster at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville, Ala for the July 12 game. Former Smokies outfielder Ty Wright was also selected to North Division roster. However, due to his promotion to Triple-A Iowa he has been replaced on the roster.

COMBS CONSTRUCTION 363-8555 SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

WIMBLEDON, England — While Roger Federer is at the start of a two-week vacation he wasn’t eager to begin, Rafael Nadal will be hard at work Sunday, facing a new sort of challenge in the Wimbledon final. For the first time since 2002, the last round at the All England Club won’t include six-time champion Federer. Instead, Nadal will take on the player who eliminated Federer in the quarterfinals, first-time Grand Slam finalist Tomas Berdych. They’ll be hard-pressed to equal the drama of the past three Wimbledon finals. Federer beat Nadal in 2007, Nadal beat Federer in 2008, and Federer beat Andy Roddick last year. All three matches were decided in the fifth set, including last year’s 16-14 thriller. But Nadal’s Wimbledon comeback and Berdych’s Grand Slam breakthrough offer compelling story lines. Nadal missed last year’s tournament with tendinitis in both knees, then endured a prolonged slump. The Rafa of old resurfaced this spring, and he capped an undefeated clay-court season with his fifth French Open title. Since mid-April, Nadal has gone 30-1 and regained the No. 1 ranking. He’s one victory from his eighth major title. “I didn’t win a tournament for 11 months,” the Spaniard said. “When you have tough moments and you are another time in the top, it’s more special.” The 6-foot-5 Berdych’s

more to go.” The only Czech to win the men’s title was Jan Kodes in 1973. Berdych’s major-final debut comes in his 28th Grand Slam tournament, the second-longest wait for a Grand Slam men’s finalist in the Open era. Perhaps he’s a late bloomer like Lendl, who won the first of his eight major titles at age 24. “He achieved much, much more than me,” Berdych said, “but things need to start somewhere. Hopefully, it’s a really good time to start building hopefully similar results as he did.” Lendl never won Wimbledon, and he never hit the ball as hard as Berdych, whose serve regularly tops 130 mph. Dealing with his flat, deep forehands can be like trying to short-hop a laser beam. He has improved his movement and his resolve in big matches, as wins this week over Federer and No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic confirmed. If he can upset Nadal, he will have defeated the world’s top Jon Super/AP three players en route to Spain's Rafael Nadal waves to the crowd after the title. defeating Britain's Andy Murray in their men's “It would be bad if I semifinal at theAll England Lawn Tennis say I’m in fear of someChampionships at Wimbledon, Friday, July 2. body,” Berdych said. “I won so many matches here.

Thome hits 2 HRs to pass Killebrew for 10th place By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Baseball Writer MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Twins slugger Jim Thome homered in his first two at-bats Saturday to pass Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew for 10th place on the career list with 574 home runs. Thome hit a 1-0 pitch from Tampa Bay starter Wade Davis to the opposite field in the second inning and it just barely reached the seats in left for his ninth homer of the season. “I talked to Jim quite a bit when I was in spring training,� Killebrew said from Arizona after Thome’s first homer. “I told him, ’Don’t feel bad if you pass me up, because I passed up a lot of guys in my career.�’ Thome did just that in the fourth inning, hitting a no-doubter that landed in the bullpen in left-center field. The team played a previously taped message from Killebrew, one of the most beloved players in franchise history, congratulating Thome on the achievement. “I’m glad he was able to hit it in a Twins uniform,� Killebrew said. “I only wish I could have been there to see it.� Killebrew has long admired Thome, in large part because he has never been linked to the steroid scandal that has stained so many sluggers of his generation. Killebrew has been an outspoken critic of steroids and their impact on baseball’s record books. Next on the career list is Mark McGwire with 583. The current Cardinals hitting coach admitted in the

Students gathered in groups on the grounds outside Rel Maples Institute for Culinary Arts during Chef Camp.

Two dozen children age 10 to 17 took part in this year’s 4-H Chef Camp at Walters State Community College, learning many of the aspects of food preparation from sanitation and safety to sizzle and seasoning. The four-day camp began Monday, with each day featuring a theme. Monday was Basics in the Kitchen and breakfast foods. Things turned sweet on Tuesday with Baking Day and Cupcakes. They took things outdoors on Thursday with Meat Grilling and Outdoor Cookery. Everything was pulled together on Thursday with Dinner with Your Family, a July 4 barbecue, plus a demonstration on carving fruit. Their first lesson, however was sanitation and safety, said Suzie Thead of the Sevier County Extension Service. “With updates daily, if not hourly,” Thead said. She said the program has remained popu-

Several of the students participating this week were back for their fourth time. Thead attributes to the college’s culinary arts program for the continued popularity of the program. “Walters State keeps it fresh,” she said of the agenda for each year’s chef camp, so much so the students don’t even mind the clean up work. “They were even excited to scrub floors,” she said of the students, who worked in rotations

to perform the duties required each day. Another reason for its popularity, she said, is the enjoyment and education it gives the students, whether it’s how to properly mop a floor or grill a burger. “Just the enjoyment of cooking,” she explained of the reason the students enjoy the class. “It’s something they can develop a life skill for, whether they use it at home with family, if they’re college-bound or when they get married and have a family of their own.”

Processed food not a good choice for eating healthy A simple childhood phrase that we should all live by is “You are what you eat.� The follow-up question to that is: What are you eating on a daily basis? When you need to make nutritional choices you need to think basic. Would you be able to find what your eating in nature? Our body was designed to function and process foods found in nature. Our body was not designed to break down and use foods that were created in a lab. Unfortunately, foods that are created in a lab are cheaper to make and thus cheaper to sell. Foods found in nature are subject to drought and other forces of nature that cause the prices to rise. In a society focused on cheap and easy, the processed food wins out. I ask you to think about the long-term damage that you are

doing to your body by taking the cheap and easy route. Spend the time to prepare your own meals from foods that are nutritious and “found in nature.� Remember, if you can’t tell me where the food came from, it most likely came from a lab. Simple tricks to eating healthy: n Only shop on the outside edges of your grocery store. Most foods that are found on the middle aisles are processed foods and thus not from nature. Remember, food is supposed to spoil. Foods that last years in a can

do so because they were designed to do so in a lab. n Avoid anything that is already in a package. The foods that you should be eating are not prepackaged. Prepackaging means that the food has to be preserved, and thus altered. We are aiming for foods that are as close to nature as we can find. So the foods that we want to choose are handpicked by us.

n Do not be mislead by food claims such as low-fat, no-fat and low calorie. When companies put these claims on their products they are doing so in order to sell more product, because they know that this is what you want to see as a consumer. Most of the time foods have fats and sugars replaced by things much worse for your body than the original product. n The last tip: Do

not buy foods that you should not be eating. If you do not have poor food choices available to you at your home, you are more likely to choose the better choice since it is sitting in your fridge or on your counter. Remember, life is a journey and you need to enjoy it. Do not get

upset with yourself if you have a bad day. Tomorrow is always another day. — Dr. Ryan Felde works at the Tennessee Spine and Performance Enhancement Center in Sevierville. For questions or topics you would like discussed in his column, e-mail to Felde@ TennSpineCenter.com.

Our hearts break with every passing day. We miss your laughter and smiles. We miss your carefree ways and all the good times we had. We miss YOU!!

College Express new service for health majors Submitted Report A one-year program at Walters State Community College offers a convenient way for health care majors to take required general education courses in a convenient and quick format. College Express for Health Majors will begin its second cohort this fall, enabling students to take courses required to enter respiratory care, nursing, health information technician or physical therapist assistant programs. Students meet one night a week for most classes and take one class at a time. (Science classes require an additional meeting each week for lab.) Under a traditional schedule, these courses would take students longer than a year or would require students attend full-time. “Regardless of the specific major, health programs all require general education courses that must be completed before entering the major. For example, students have to take English composition and science courses,” said Connie Earls, coordinator of distance education at Walters State. “With College Express for Health Majors, students take those courses in one year without leaving their day jobs.” Erika Carper is finishing up the final semester in last year’s program. She has been accepted to Walters State’s nursing program and will start in the fall. “I’ve been able to take all of these classes without taking time off work,” said Carper, who decided

to come back to school after working in banking for 10 years. “I really like the set-up in that you only do one class at a time. I have been out of school, so coming back with only one class at a time wasn’t as intimidating to me as taking two or three classes all at the same time. This way is a good way to start back to college. The classes do move quickly, though, and Carper sites anatomy and physiology as probably the toughest classes of the program. She worked very hard, though, at her studies and her reward came in the mail a few weeks ago — an acceptance letter from Walters State’s competitive nursing school. “I was very excited to get the acceptance letter. I applied because I thought it wouldn’t hurt. I thought I might have to wait and apply again in the fall because I’ve heard from different peo-

I will finish the Express Program in August and then start nursing,” Carper said. For more information about College Express for Nursing, call Connie Earls at (423) 5856899.

Public pulpit

A Godly church is where God’s there unmistakably By ALDEN MARSHALL Do you go to a Rotary club in drag or to a Godly church? I was a Rotarian for a few years. I met wonderful people there and I highly respect the good work they do. But I am convinced that a Godly church is very different. The Rotary clubs basically take in civic minded, pleasant and responsible and caring folks, and encourage them to enhance their lives. So do Rotary clubs in drag (dressing to impersonate another sort of person or animal), that pretend to be real Christian churches. At such clubs, generally upright and moral people have sermonettes instead of sermons such as Paul preached, prayerettes instead of prayers such as Peter prayed. Members are wont to complain that prayers are not allowed in schools anymore when they do not allow prayers in their churches where people meet with God unmistakably. They go to these Rotary (or Kiwanis or Elk) clubs in drag to enhance their lives, to improve speaking abilities or to make business or social contacts. There is nothing inherently wrong about that, and I favor that in real Rotary clubs. But a Godly church should be radically different. Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.� When I was growing up, often people would gather at least 30 minutes before the church service to pray, so that we would be ready

to meet with God when we worshipped. There were watch services Dec. 31, with preaching and singing and much prayer, and just before the new year began, we would be on our knees praying that God would forgive us and guide us through the new year. A Godly church is where people listen to get God’s point of view, and where we do not quench or grieve the Holy Spirit but are ready to obey instantly, as the great Welsh revivalist Evan Roberts preached. A Godly church is where the fire is, where we come into the very presence of God, and where even children can tell that God is there in power. It is a place where folks are dragged by the Holy Spirit from the power of Satan into the kingdom of light. It is where people have an awe of God instead of coming to hear corny jokes — we have comedy barns around here for that! But a Godly church is where we are convicted of sins and they are renounced, either for the first time or more deeply through conversions, or through lukewarm Christians being convinced of unholiness. A Godly church is where a good word is said about Jesus Christ, and where his character and teachings from the Bible are affirmed. It is where the Bible is preached in poweranointed words for that time and place by someone who is walking humbly with God. Such a church is where

we pray that we give up all thoughts and attitudes and actions that do not please God, and where we pray to keep only those that do honor Jesus Christ. It is where, as Evan Roberts preached, that we give up anything doubtful also. A Godly church is where God is there so unmistakably that people in the congregation either repent and turn to him consciously, or reject the message with such terror that they either leave or are afraid to join the congregation in the first place, as in the book of Acts. When Jonathan Edwards (catalyst for the first great awakening/ revival in this country and president of Princeton) preached his sermon “Sinners in the hands of an angry God,� we do not know how many of his congregation heard it since many fled in terror before he finished. Similar events happened when Charles Finney preached in the next century. If you do not know whether you meet with God or not when you worship, rest assured that you do not. If you do not have this awesome and unmistakably presence of God when you meet on Sundays, you can be certain that you went to a Rotary club in drag. Someday I hope you go to a Godly church, or even a real Rotary club. Just do not hang out at a Rotary club in drag, or you may mistake that for historic Christianity. — Dr. Alden Marshall is a Presbyterian minister who lives in Gatlinburg.

Back to Basics A coach of a football team was being interviewed following his team’s embarrassing loss to a much weaker team. He said that it was going to be necessary for his team to get back to the basics‚ if they wished to be a winning team. The coach realized that the team had not built a winning tradition on the razzle-dazzle and hot-dog plays, but had done so by concentrating on the basics of good football. When the team forgot the basics‚ and engaged in the exciting‚ and the unusual plays‚ they had momentary success (maybe one touchdown) and caused much excitement among the spectators. However this success was short-lived and the excitement did not last when the team was unable to win consistently with such play. They needed to get back to the basics if they were to have long-term success. I believe there is a lesson in the above story for members of the body of Christ. It seems that many members (including some preachers) become bored with the basics when it comes to serving God. They decide that we need something new and more exciting. To simply preach the gospel of Christ and encourage men and women to abide in the teaching of God’s word in all they say and do is just too old fashioned‚ and boring to them. So, they come up with something new‚ and exciting. They appeal to people with recreation and entertainment. They devise various social projects and make them the work of the church. They begin to sound like denominational theologians rather than preachers of the gospel of Christ. As a result of such actions these brethren meet with what they consider success. They attract attention and their numbers increase. There is excitement‚ in their midst. They are on the move. However, the new soon wears off these projects and it soon becomes apparent that there is no real and lasting value to these new and exciting ways. To have such lasting value we must get back to the basics. We must realize that the long and lasting value is in doing that which will bring God’s favor upon us. We can not turn away from the basics‚ of His will and expect to please Him. We may receive some momentary pleasure or excitement‚ from doing our own thing‚ but we must remember that such pleasure is but (Hebrews 11:25). Let us get back to telling men and women that ‘’he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved’’ (Mark 16:16). Let’s tell them that Christ has ‘’all authority’’ (Matthew 28:18-20). Declare unto them that there is ‘’one body, and one Spirit, ... one hope ..., one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God ...’’ (Ephesians 4:4-6). Let’s encourage all men to ‘’speak the same thing that there be no division’’ (1 Corinthians 1:10). I realize that in doing this we will be accused of being ‘’narrow-minded’’ and ‘’tradition bound.’’ Some will say that our teaching and practices are ‘’out-dated’’ and are not relevant to the needs of modern man. Others will say that we believe that ‘’only your little group’’ is going to be saved. However, there is something very notable about the things I suggested we should get back to teaching; they are found in the word of God. May I ask, ‘’What’s wrong with just telling men and women what we find revealed in the word of God?’’ If men have not done what the Bible teaches one must do to receive the forgiveness of sin what right do I have to suggest to him that he is OK and is acceptable before God? If one who has been baptized into Christ sins what right to I have to tell him that so long as he was sincere or was ignorant of his sin he is justified? What is wrong with simply telling such a one that he should repent and confess his sins (Acts 8:22; 1 John 1:9)? Something else may sound more appealing and may attract more people for the moment but if men and women are to be saved (have long term success) they must ‘’get back to the basics’’ of God’s word. We can not improve upon it. When we content ourselves with following ‘’the basics’’ of God’s word we will meet with eternal success, that home in heaven with God, Christ and the righteous of all time.

Tender vegetables, firm fruit needed to make great pickles What’s a hamburger without sliced pickles? Or a pastrami on rye without a garlic dill? Whether it is sweet or dill, garlic or sour, is there anyone who doesn’t like pickles? Simply put, pickling applies to food preserved in a brine or vinegar. It involves taking a low-acid vegetable and making it high acid with vinegar or fermentation so that it can be safely canned in a boiling water bath canner. This includes vegetables, fruits, chutneys and relishes. Brined or fermented products go through a curing process in a salt and water solution for one or more weeks. The lactic acid produced by fermentation preserves the product. Examples of fermented products are dill pickles and sauerkraut. Fresh pack or quick process pickles are preserved in vinegar, spices and seasonings. These are easy to prepare and, if allowed to stand for several weeks after processing, will develop a tart flavor. Bread and butter pickles and sweet pickle relish are examples of quick process pickles. Good pickles start with tender vegetables and firm fruit. Do not use produce that shows any evidence of mold because it may produce an off-flavor. If you are pickling cucumbers, your usual “slicing” cucumber won’t do. Always use pickling cucumbers. Check your seed catalogs for varieties suitable for pickling. If you buy cucumbers, select unwaxed ones so that the brine or pickling solutions can penetrate. Use on and one-half inch for gherkins and four-inch for dills.

Have some fun with the kids

When the kids are complaining that they are bored, grab your acrylic paints, textile medium, dimensional fabric paint, sponges (both sea and compressed), some T-shirts or cotton fabric, and have fun together. You’ll also need some pieces of cardboard for a base, plastic wrap or garbage bags, an old plate or small pieces of foil to use as a palette, masking tape, popsicle sticks, paper towels, and water. Cover the cardboard with the plastic wrap or garbage bags. This keeps the paint from sticking to the cardboard. Stick the cardboard inside the shirt and fold the sleeves to the back, out of the way. If you are working with a flat piece of fabric, tape it down on the plastic covered surface. Squeeze a quarter-sized puddle of paint onto your palette. Mix about half as much textile medium into the paint with a Popsicle stick. Add a drop or two of water if you want to thin the paint a little, just not much. You are ready to sponge paint. If you want a lacy, random background, use a damp sea sponge. Dip it

soap and water. Make sure you get as much of the paint out as possible. Let the sponges dry and you can reuse them on another project. When you have finished your design, add details with the dimensional paint.

Can dill seed be substituted for dill weed? A. One tablespoon dill seed may be substituted for three heads fresh dill weed. Q. Why has my garlic turned blue/green? A. Garlic contains a pigment that can turn blue in an acid solution. Or, you may have iron, tin or aluminum in your cooking pot, water or water pipes that reacts with the garlic. The garlic is safe to eat. Q. My pickles seem soft, what did I do wrong? A. You may have forgotten to cut off the blossom end of the cucumber. Cut off about 1/16-inch slice. The blossom contains enzymes that can cause softening.

Q. Where can I get pickling lime? My grandmother’s pickle recipe calls for it. A. Pickling lime can be purchased from a store selling canning supplies. Be sure it is pickling lime and “food-grade.” Don’t use lime intended for your soil. Q. I’ve heard that some types of pans should not be used for pickling. Which kinds? A. Aluminum, copper, brass, galvanized or iron containers should not be used for fermenting pickles and sauerkraut. Aluminum should not be used for fresh pack pickles when you use lime. Q. My mother-inlaw’s recipe for pickles soaked in brine does not call for any type of processing. Should they be processed? A. Yes. All pickled products should be processed in a water bath canner. Find research based recipes that tell you how long to process.

Midnight Race scheduled July 31 Submitted Report The Pigeon Forge Midnight 8K road race is scheduled July 31. Participants will line up at 11:55 p.m. and the race will start at midnight. The course is flat and fast. This race has been held since 1981 when David Morris and several members of the Smoky Mountain Striders started it. Morris and co-directors managed the race for 15 years before turning it over to the Pigeon Forge police and high school.

Kodak plans free school program The Kodak Community Back to School Bash will be held on Aug. 7. The plans are to have a day with inflatables, free food, free haircuts for children, a magic show and free school supplies for children in K-12. “We know that families are struggling financially and this is our way of helping the kids get the supplies they need before they go back to school,” said Pastor Rowland Buck of Kodak United Methodist Church. KUMC is also looking for other local churches and businesses as partners for the event. Volunteers and donations of school supplies and other items are needed as well as cash donations. Families must pre-register their children before July 31, must live in Kodak or the immediate area, and the children must be present on Aug. 7 to pick up the school supplies.

After a few years, the race was cancelled and had not been held for about seven years. The Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center will serve as headquarters for the event. Prerace staging will take place in the parking lot of Sevier County Bank on the Parkway. Registration is $20. All mail-in entries must be postmarked by July 16. Knoxville Track Club members are eligible for a $5 discount during preregistration. C The cost is $25 from July 17-28, when reg-

istrations are accepted online only. No registrations will be accepted July 29. Race day registration cost is $30. Any participants choosing the no T-shirt option will receive $5 off. Participants can go to www.ktc.orgfor details on registration. Expected participation is between 500 and 750. There is a wheelchair division. The Knoxville Track Club is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to encourage physical well-being through run-

ning and walking. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Pigeon Forge High School for athletic teams. For more information on this event, contact Morris at (865) 607-8717 or e-mail to smokymtnhiker@aol.com; or Caroline Lamar at (865) 384-7441 or e-mail to carolinelamar@hotmail. com.

Sevier County young people have been busy preparing for these events. The first step toward the state exposition is participation in the County Livestock Show. It is scheduled for 6 p.m. June 28 at the Sevier County Fairgrounds. The Sevier County Livestock Association will be sponsoring the county event, with a cookout provided for all exhibitors and their families along with

project manuals, supplied curriculum and information from junior livestock conferences. Skillathons are part of the Premier Exhibitor Recognition Program.
