has been employed for 22 years. Before he decided to run four years ago, he checked with company owner Steven Smith. “One thing he told me was that we as a company always try to do anything we can to make our community better,” Williams said. “Mr. Smith was a big encouragement to me. I felt there was something more I could do that would make the community better.”

Tommy Watts may still be getting used to folks calling him commissioner, but he already has some high hopes for his four-year term on the county’s legislative body. Watts has his eyes on expanding the county services offered to residents of his area, which includes Richardson Cove, Jones Cove and Birds Creek. “We’re looking for a site for a fire department substation up there and, now that the county has this new Water Department, I’d like to see us look at installing more water lines in my area,” Watts says. “I just want to be able to better the 1st District.” Of course, Watts is well-aware projects like that will take money, something that could remain in fairly short supply for the county through the near future. He says local leaders must evaluate how they can best serve the public while keeping the belts tight on spending.

By STAN VOIT Editor He may be the manager of the biggest grocery store in the county and a newly elected member of the County Commission, but Randy Williams won’t be giving up his coaching duties. He will continue to coach the fifth-grade girls team at New Center School. “There are no cell phones on the basketball court,” he said. “There is no interruption in your

work with the kids. It’s my relaxation.” Williams won election as District 3 commissioner, defeating an incumbent he came within about 30 votes of defeating four years ago. “I didn’t get it out of my system,” he joked about his run for office in 2006. Coming so close four years ago made him point to the 2010 election for a second chance at winning. Williams is manager of Food City’s Sevierville store, where he

Father’s memory fresh as Loveday takes new path By STAN VOIT Editor

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer Tim Hurst has a very clear reason for running once again for public office. It greets him each evening after he gets home from keeping Sevier County safe as a sergeant with the Sheriff’s Department. “I want to make Sevier County better for my children, for the future,” Hurst says. “It’s as simple as that. I don’t do it for any other reason but that.” Hurst and wife Carla Rader Hurst are parents See Hurst, Page A4

Marty Loveday is sure his dad would be proud. Loveday, the new commissioner for District 4, lost his dad about 15 years ago. The two were close. “Not a day goes by I don’t think of him,” Loveday said. “Life goes on, but it’s been hard.” Fred Loveday, like his son Marty, was a Sevier County native. Fred Loveday was only 49 when he died unexpectedly. “The lessons he taught See Loveday, Page A3

County cities rank low on speed trap site By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — People who think police have speed traps in their neighborhood have another outlet for complaining, but local folks with a gripe might be surprised at the results. The National Motorists Association has a Web site, speedtrap.org, where members can post the location of speed traps in a city. The worst ranked city in Tennessee, by a large number, was Nashville. The state capital

had 129 reported traps. Memphis was well behind with 86. The city with a population of 100,000 or less with the most reported speed traps was Smyrna, with 31. Sevierville was well behind that total, with 10 — compared to 40 in Knoxville, and 14 in nearby Morristown. The Mountain Press asked for the numbers for Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and a spokesman for the National Motorists Association said they didn’t get enough reports to include them. “If a city you asked about isn’t

listed, we either haven’t received any reports of speed traps or don’t have enough data to include them,” said Gary Biller. The organization released its list of the Worst North American Speed Trap Cities in time for the Labor Day Weekend. The Web site does include entries for Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg; Pigeon Forge had four while there were two for Gatlinburg, including one saying “the whole city is a speed trap.” Members can vote on each entry; 16 agreed with that posting about Gatlinburg while 13 disagreed.

As a reference, one entry for Pigeon Forge mentioned a back road as was a good way to bypass traffic on the Parkway. While that posting didn’t actually say that any road was a speed trap, four people had voted to “Yes! This is a speed trap” while three had voted that it was not. The 10 areas mentioned in Sevierville include some that are familiar to local residents. West Main Street/Chapman Highway entering downtown received more than one posting, citing the quick See Trap, Page A4

Gathering attracts thousands to Gatlinburg By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — They’re having a handclapping, toe-tapping, praising good time in the mountains this weekend as the annual Gatlinburg Gathering unites gospel music fans from across the country with the groups that have defined the genre both recently and over many years. The four-day gettogether will conclude today after a morning worship service at 10 a.m. and one last free concert at 6 p.m. this evening featuring a number of standards of gospel like The Chuckwagon Gang and The Whisnants. A crowd of thousands has filled the largest hall in the Gatlinburg Convention Center throughout the event, hearing sermons preached by well-known evangelists in addition to the music. The gathering offers what its Web site calls, “The music you love. The vacation you deserve.” That’s exactly what Tom Matthews of Booneville, N.C., and

Derek Hodges/The Mountain Press

Debra Talley addresses a break-out session aimed at women during the Gatlinburg Gathering on Saturday at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. Wayne Miller of Mount Pleasant, N.C., found. The two men brought their wives along with them to the event, which has become something of a tradition for them. “We come to hear some of these groups at Inspiration Park over in Bryson City (N.C.) and it’s not far to come on over to Gatlinburg,” Matthews said. “I came mainly to hear the

Chuckwagon Gang this year. Their music is so authentic. It’s just kind of pure.” The men said no one in their group was taking part in break-out sessions during the days, which included a women’s conference Saturday and various smaller performances, using that time instead to explore downtown Gatlinburg. However, when the

lights go down and the music comes up in the evenings, they’re committed to being there through tonight’s performance. “I grew up listening to this kind of music on the radio and in church,” Miller said. “I think gospel music can reach everyone from the young to the old. A lot of churches now are moving to the contemporary

music and I think that’s OK; there’s room for both of them. They’ve both got the message.” Still, the two men think those who listen to newer Christian music to the exclusion of the tunes and groups the likes of which were heard during the gathering are missing out. “I think they lose something if they don’t hear this music, too,” Matthews said. “There’s nothing else like it.” Miller agreed, saying he likes the music because it speaks to him personally. “A lot of it is life experiences,” Miller said. “It sure relates to my life.” Of course, no matter how great the men think it is to hear the strains of gospel coming through the speakers of the stereo, they believe there’s an entirely different and deeper experience to be had experiencing it live. “It’s kind of hard to put it into words. The first time I ever heard it in person ...,” Matthews says, trailing off while shaking his head and

smiling. “You just can’t capture it on a CD or a record. There are no electronics. There are no gimmicks. It’s just good, pure music. That’s what I like about it.” The worship service this morning will include a message from evangelist Jack Lassiter, and music from Victoria Huggins, The Allen Family and Greater Love. There will be exhibits from various vendors and groups throughout the day, and performances from a number of up-andcoming musicians from across the region. The 6 p.m. concert, for which doors open at 5 p.m., will include The Triumphant Quartet, The Whisnants, The Hoppers, Karen Peck & New River, The Chuckwagon Gang and Legacy Five. Lassiter will also speak during the event, which is open to the public. Those interested in attending may want to drop by the Convention Center a bit early to pick up tickets, which are free but may disappear if demand is high.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make our money last and spend it the best we can,â&#x20AC;? Watts says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are tough times and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot going on, so you have to balance that.â&#x20AC;? Watts, like fellow new Commissioner Tim Hurst, is an employee of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. He also owns and operates the 416 Car Wash on Pittman Center Road, and is co-owner of 416 Mini Storage. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a graduate of Sevier County High School and a lifelong resident of Sevier County. He and his wife Joann are raising four children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dillon, Bo, Will and Lexi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at their Maples Branch home. Another thing Watts has in common with Hurst is a belief the best investment the county can make now with its limited resources is in marketing its top industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to keep promoting ourselves as a destination for tourists,â&#x20AC;? Watts says. Watts was elected officially Aug. 5 to serve the people of the 1st District, though his major victory came back in May. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he won the Republican nomination, defeating incumbent Max Watson. Watson became a deeply polarizing figure over the last couple years as he associated himself with a group that has alleged corruption throughout local government and filed a number of lawsuits seeking, among other things, to have some officeholders ousted. Watson was listed as the first plaintiff on several of those court actions. Watts says he believes his election is a rejection both of Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tactics and the group as a whole.

Williams has been coaching the fifth-grade girls team for several years. His own daughter, Carla, was on that team. Now a student at Pigeon Forge High, Carla helps her dad coach the current team, giving father and daughter time together doing something they both enjoy. Williams and his wife Wanda also have a son, Joshua, 10. Running against an incumbent, Tommy McGaha, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t daunting to Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was up to me to let folks know what I was about and what I would like to do,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then leave it in the hands of the voters. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel I was going up against anybody or taking on anybody. I believe if you get the word out about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do and about yourself, then after that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the voters.â&#x20AC;? Williams wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cite a single issue as his priority, saying he just wants to represent his family, community and company as well as he can. Getting more jobs is a critical issue, he agrees, and doing everything possible to attract more jobs is important. But so is making sure the education system is a good as it can be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two children in the education system,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced tremendous growth. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look to the future, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education or transportation or whatever it is. I want my children and other children to receive the same opportunities as I did. That is of importance to me.â&#x20AC;? Williams grew up in Sevier County, attending Pigeon Forge Elementary and Gatlinburg-Pittman

Price Reunion

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was out in my district campaigning, nine out of every 10 people I talked to wanted to talk about this group and the lawsuits,â&#x20AC;? Watts says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Max Watson was in the center of the group and I think the people spoke based on how they feel about that. The people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, but if the people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out to vote, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter.â&#x20AC;? In the end, Watts believes his election has as much or more to do simply with the fact he has positive relationships in the district and was able to drum up support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out in my district every day because I live there and I always have. The people there asked me to run and I ran,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out and they supported me. I appreciate that so much and I just want to do my best for them. This is the best county in the state of Tennessee. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do everything I can to defend it and make it better.â&#x20AC;?

to two children, son Carson, 9, and daughter Alex, 7. They live just outside the Sevierville city limits on Allensville Road. Hurst says he has lived in Sevier County all his life, having graduated from Sevier County High in 1982. With 46 years here under his belt, Hurst says he’s convinced he’ll be here until they put him in the ground. “I was born here and I’ll die here, God willing,” he says. Hurst’s is hardly a new face to most in the 7th District, who will remember him from a previous 16-year stint representing the area on the County Commission. That ended in 2006 after a bitter primary loss. He says he’s glad to be back and ready to serve again. “I guess people saw the grass isn’t always greener on the other side,” Hurst says of defeating the man who just one term ago claimed the seat. “I’m very proud of Sevier County. I want to work to improve the county and help it grow.” Hurst knows that will be a big challenge over the next four years — he sees that fact himself each day in his county job. “I think I have the opportunity to see things from kind of a hands-on position because I do see it as a resident, an official and an employee of the county,” Hurst says. “I see this stuff on a dayto-day basis. I think it’s a benefit to be able to see it from each of those areas.” When asked what he believes the biggest problems are the county will face in the coming years with the exclusion of the economy, Hurst finds himself hard-pressed to answer. That’s because he believes each of the issues the commission will have to face for at least the foreseeable future will be related to the way the nation’s finances are going. “There are other things, but to say the biggest problems not counting the economy is tough because I think it all boils down to the economy,” Hurst says. Among those challenges are keeping the county’s tax rate among the lowest in the state while still maintaining the current level of services and staffing. At the same time, he’s hopeful the county will be able to do more to help

Additionally, Hurst is hopeful there will be more money available soon to invest in advertising the county as a tourism destination. While it may be tough to write that check to spend extra cash on that marketing, Hurst is certain the county will see considerably more return from pushing its options for travelers. In the end, Hurst says he’ll be working for the best interests of his constituents, whom he also considers friends. “I’m a people person. I enjoy helping people,” he says. “I like being able to go into a restaurant and see someone I know. I like that they can bring me problems and I can try to help them solve it or get them some help to solve it. That makes it worth it.” n dhodges@themountainpress.com

drop in speed limits coming into town, and a mention of Highway 66 coming from the interstate. The NMA’s definition: “A speed trap exists wherever traffic enforcement is focused on extracting revenue from drivers instead of improving safety.” Sevierville police spokesman Bob Stahlke said improving safety is the goal for city officers, particularly at the West Main Street entrance. “Our traffic enforcement efforts are conducted for the safety of motorists and pedestrians,” he said. “When we conduct traffic enforcement patrols in a specific area, it is usually in response to citizen complaints of motorists traveling at excessive speeds, or because there are particular safety concerns.” There have been several serious accidents on West Main Street where drivers hadn’t obeyed the speed limit and slowed down their vehicles as they reached Hardin Lane, he said. That becomes more dangerous as they come to the traffic lights, where traffic can be backed up, and earlier intersections where people may be trying to cross without the aid of a light.

Robbery suspect Delay in lifting device from Gulf killed in shootout KNOXVILLE (AP) — A convicted bank robber wanted in the fatal shooting of a cafeteria cashier was killed in police shootout Friday night that also injured an officer, police say. Police said that Michael Lewis Chesney, 54, was hiding under a bed in an apartment when he shot Officer Brandon Stryker, who was searching the residence for him. Other officers pulled Stryker to safety through a window and returned fire, killing Chesney, Owen said. The officer, who was wearing a protective vest, was treated and released from the hospital, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported. “He’s going to be OK,”

said Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV. Authorities say Chesney was on supervised release for a federal bank robbery conviction and was a suspect in the fatal shooting of a cashier during a robbery attempt on Thursday. The robber shot Daniel Charles Giles, 60, in an attempted robbery at the S&S Cafeteria. Giles later died at the hospital. Police said Chesney was under survellience for most of Friday after he became a suspect in the robbery. U.S. Marshals had a warrant out for him on a charge of violating the terms of his supervised release. “We’d been tracking his movements until the appropriate paperwork could be obtained,” the chief said.

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Icelike crystals had formed Saturday on the 300-ton blowout preventer that failed to stop oil from spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, forcing BP crews to wait before they could safely hoist the device to the surface. The hydrates — which caused the oil giant problems when the company was trying to contain the oil spilling into the Gulf — need to melt because they are combustible. Crews must take care not to damage the device, which is considered a key piece of evidence in the spill investigation. “We don’t want to lift it and risk an uncontrolled release of gas because

crane, told The Associated Press. The AP was the only news outlet with a print reporter and photogra-

pher on board the ship. The device would be lifted the final 500 feet to the surface once it was assured the hydrates had dissipated. It was not an unexpected delay, Hilton said. Before the stop, it had been painstakingly raised at a rate of about 450 feet to 500 feet per hour. Marvin Morrison, BP’s wellsite leader aboard the Q4000, said workers aren’t just waiting for the hydrates to melt normally. Men in red jumpsuits and white hardhats could be seen on the deck using enormous wrenchlike tools to turn dials on pipes that were dousing the blowout preventer with warm seawater to speed up the melting.

State looks at road encroachments TOWNSEND (AP) — Businesses in the town of Townsend on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains derive their living from tourists and many lure in visitors with roadside decorations and other displays. But a local argument over one such display between two competing hotels has led to the state Department of Transportation looking into all encroachments on the right of way along U.S. Highway 321. Letters from the department went out last month asking residents and businesses to remove as many as 80 encroachments along the road.

Lodge at Valley View owner Paul Maples told The Knoxville News Sentinel that he had permits to display logs carved with depictions of woodland creatures but was asked by the city to remove them after a complaint from a nearby hotel. The logs were placed on two stone columns near the roadway, but last year Sandy Headrick, owner of neighboring Highland Manor Inn, complained to the city’s planning commission that it gave the lodge an unfair advantage in attracting people. Maples said he was allowed by TDOT to place decoration near the road in exchange for cutting the

commentary

Thieves vex Gatlinburg’s Rev. Taylor For more than 33 years Rev. Ed Taylor has operated Gatlinburg Ministries, a counseling center and church on Reagan Drive. It’s been in the same location all that time. He’s the founder and continues as its pastor. To raise a little money, Taylor placed a collection box near the parking lot, secured and anchored. Visitors who use the parking lot on their trips to downtown Gatlinburg are asked to pay $5 for the privilege and put the money in the box. For all these years the church never had a problem. For most of that time Taylor even left the church unlocked; people could come in and pray and then leave donations in the collection box inside. Later he moved it outside so those using the parking lot might be moved to pay $5 or whatever they could spare. “God’s Honor” he put on the box so people would know what it was for. About seven weeks ago things changed. Vandals discovered the collection box, and they have been relentless in their pursuit of what’s inside. There have been seven break-ins, and Taylor figures more than $3,000 has been stolen. That’s on top of the $2,000 in repairs he’s had to make to the church, where the thieves broke doors and got inside looking for more things to steal. The crooks have cut chains. They’ve broken in doors. They cut the wires controlling the security system. Taylor moved the collection box inside the door, asking donors to slip money through a slot in the door. The crooks broke through that door and took the money. Taylor has been called at 3 or 4 in the morning by police to come down after a theft was discovered. It’s all beginning to wear on him. He’s become, well, fatalistic about it. “We’re living in our last days,” he said, and he’s serious. Our economy, strife in the world, stealing from churches — it all convinces Taylor, a Biblical scholar, that we are close to the end days. “We’re coming closer every day,” he said. He has long felt he’d still be alive when the Apocalypse comes, and he’s 79 now. What’s going on? Taylor thinks those stealing are probably drug addicts. He and police think it’s the same people every time. What makes these thefts so depressing and discouraging is that until a couple of months ago, Taylor never had a problem. The honor system worked. He had never experienced a theft in the entire history of Gatlinburg Ministries. So far the thefts have been confined to the church. He is concerned, though, they might try to get to the ministries’ collection of biblical memorabilia and artifacts. Taylor has made six trips to Israel and one each to London and Egypt. On each trip he seeks out manuscripts, replicas of documents and other materials related to the Bible and biblical times. He even has a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, the actual size of the one described in the Bible. It’s all on display inside the ministries; those who attend Sunday services can tour the museum and see it all. “We have thousands and thousands of items,” he said. “We use it in our teaching and ministry. It shows how we got to where we are. We have a film to show how we got what’s recorded in the Bible. Those who tour it say it’s one of the greatest things they’ve ever seen.” It may look like a pile of junk to some, but to Taylor and others the collection represents a connection to people written about in the Bible. Taylor says the security for that part of the facility is tighter. He’s not worried that talking about it might embolden thieves to go after it. A pastor has to love everyone, no matter what they’ve done or are doing. Taylor agrees and says he loves the people who are stealing from him. If given a chance to meet them face to face, he knows what he’d say to them. “I’d try to find out if I could minister to them in some way,” he said. “I’d try to help them the best way I could.” Always the pastor. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press.

Editorial

Four to grow on County Commission has four new people — and four new and welcome perspectives Although the composition of the Sevier County Commission is largely the same today as it was last month, there are four new members and an opportunity to hear some new ideas and new perspectives on issues and problems. Randy Williams, Tim Hurst, Tommy Watts and Marty Loveday were sworn in last week and have joined the 25-member body. No matter your thoughts on whether that’s too many people to have on a governing body, it is what it is. The goal should be to make it work for the betterment of this community. Divided votes don’t have to mean dissension and conflict. Some issues offer two competing and worthwhile ideas and solutions. However, everything our County Commission does is important and affects people. Serving those people ought to be priority No. 1 for this County Commission — or any group of elected officials, for that matter.

Sevier County has had it pretty good over the past 20 to 30 years. Tourism has been the linchpin. The national park remains the most visited. Attractions keep coming on line, from Titanic to myriad ziplines to the moonshine museum in Gatlinburg. Our entertainment venues offer quality entertainment and a variety of offerings. We continue to be a draw for those who love outlet centers. Road projects finished or under construction will make people’s journey easier and faster. Major construction projects such as the multimillion dollar renovations to Park Vista in Gatlinburg and the opening of an expanded Eagle’s Landing Golf Club show commitment and confidence. Our school system, the 11th largest in Tennessee, is adding a fifth high school. But all is not perfect. Our halcyon days are behind us for now. Unemployment remains too high. Our housing market is sluggish at best, and that affects construction of new homes

and subdivisions. We rely on service industry jobs for people to fill, and they don’t pay as well as manufacturing jobs do. It’s easy sometimes to get bogged down and distracted by relatively minor skirmishes and disagreements. From time to time county commissioners will do that, But so will city council members. The trick is to limit those instances and concentrate on the things that really matter: supporting commercial development, keeping taxes low, making sure our schools are properly funded, seeking ways to attract industry and support those who are trying to do that, maintaining our roads and being good stewards of tax dollars. New people mean new ideas, new ways of looking at things, new perspectives. It’s good to have new people join a board, especially one as big as the County Commission. Welcome to government service, gentlemen. Make us proud and do well.

Political view

Public forum Our laws protect the right to build house of worship

Editor: Religious freedom is one of America’s most fundamental liberties, and a founding principle of our nation. The key strength of the United States is that respect for, but separation from, religious practices. We succeeded and thrived because we are different than the old Europe (and many other areas even today) with their statesponsored religions and persecution of nonfavored religious groups or beliefs.

Our laws protect the right to build a house of worship whether it’s a mosque, a church or a synagogue. Preventing Muslims or any other group from practicing their faith is both unconstitutional and un-American. Following our constitution, especially in times of controversy, requires that we must oppose religious discrimination based on cultural stereotyping — and resist those who seek to trade away our most precious values for some type of political advantage. Critics who insist that the proposed Islamic center’s location in New York City is “insensitive” or oppose an Islamic place of

worship right here in Tennessee are implying — consciously or not — that those who would pray at those facilities are somehow aligned with the terrorists who committed the 9/11 atrocities. That kind of discrimination is totally inconsistent with religious liberty. Throughout our nation’s history, Jews, Protestants, Catholics and Muslims have all been victims of fear and discrimination. To see that tolerance and justice prevail, it is our duty to speak out for what we know is right. Phil Cahan Gatlinburg

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

Dooley era begins with a bang Vols clobber Skyhawks 50-0 in season opener By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — Tauren Poole had touchdown runs of 24 yards and 14 yards as Tennessee beat TennesseeMartin 50-0 on Saturday night for Derek Dooley’s first victory as the Volunteers’ coach. “It was a good start,” said Dooley, who claimed his biggest butterflies of the day came during the pregam Vol Walk. “The emotional part was the Vol Walk. That thing was unbelievable. You can describe it all you want. And you know what? There’s not a better example of how great these fans are than when we got off that bus. What they’ve been through the last couple of years and to see them when we got off that bus, it was unbelievable. Overwhelming. “But when you got in the game, there wasn’t a lot of emotion ... (and) I was more nervous my first Louisiana Tech game. That’s called experience, I guess.” It was Tennessee’s first shutout since a 48-0 win over Vanderbilt in 2003 and first time facing an FCS opponent since a win over The Citadel See VOLS, Page A10

Jacksonville St. stuns Ole Miss By DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

OXFORD, Miss. — Jacksonville State quarterback Coty Blanchard completed a 2-point conversion pass to Calvin Middleton in double overtime as the Gamecocks pulled off a stunning 49-48 victory over Mississippi on Saturday. “The coaches called a shovel pass,” Middleton said. “I don’t even know if (Blanchard) saw me, but I knew if I could catch it I was deep enough in the end zone to score. “This means everything.” Blanchard threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Kevyn Cooper on fourth-and-15 to pull within 48-47 in the second overtime. Then, the Gamecocks made the call to go for the win in the season opener for both teams. Jacksonville State, a Football Championship Subdivision team from the Ohio Valley Conference, trailed 31-10 at halftime but outscored Ole Miss 21-3 in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Jeremiah Masoli made his much-anticipated debut for Mississippi after being cleared by the NCAA on Friday. He completed 7 of 10 passes for 109 yards and one interception. Ole Miss is 6-6 all-time in overtime games. It’s the first time Jacksonville State has beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision team since Sept. 27, 2001, when the Gamecocks beat Arkansas State. The Ole Miss offense, which debuted eight new starters, scored on five of six first-

half possessions, including four touchdowns. After that, Jacksonville State rolled. Ole Miss kicker Bryson Rose made a 35-yard field goal to extend the Rebels’ lead to 34-26 with 2:55 left in regulation, but Jacksonville State drove the field for a touchdown to pull within 34-32 with 18.9 seconds left. Marques Ivory threw a 2-yard pass to La’Ray Williams for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 34 and send it to overtime. Middleton rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown. The Gamecocks had no turnovers. Using a two-quarterback system with Blanchard and Ivory, the duo combined to complete 22 of 36 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns. Mississippi’s Brandon Bolden rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

Trip to Bristol takes former pro racer Nelkin down Memory Lane By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — For the past 24 years R.J. Nelkin has made his life in Sevier County. He’s raised his children here, ran a farm here and his wife Daryl, has taught school here. He’s also been active in state and local politics. But what most local people don’t know about Nelkin is his secret.

Thirty years ago Nelkin was a professional race car driver. Having worked his way up through the ranks in a Formula B car, where he won a slew of regional and national club races, Nelkin moved into professional racing in the mid-late 1970s. Competing in The CanadianAmerican Challenge Cup, or CanAm, and the Formula Atlantic Labatts Championship Series, Nelkin raced many of the best and

brightest up-and-coming racers from around the world, including names like Al Unser, Bobby Rahal and future Formula One World Champion Keke Rosberg. “That was the training ground for the best racers in the world,” Nelkin said Saturday. Teamed with his wife/team manager Daryl and mechanic Ross Stone, Nelkin faced See RACING, Page A9

SPORTS BRIEFS Kentucky beats Louisville 23-16

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Derrick Locke ran for two touchdowns and Kentucky held off rival Louisville 23-16 Saturday, keeping the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup for the fourth straight season and making Joker Phillips victorious in a matchup of longtime friends debuting as head coaches. Phillips, who gained prominence as a coordinator of a record-breaking offense at his alma mater, has hinted this 2010 version could be as good as the Andre Woodson-led unit of three and four years ago. The Wildcats didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint in the opener, gobbling up yardage in bulk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly on the ground from Locke, who had 104 yards on 23 carries. For Charlie Strong, who guided Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominating defense to two national titles in seven years, the rebuilding project has begun at Louisville. Kentucky scored all but three of its points in the first half. Randall Cobb followed Lockeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchdown runs with a 51-yarder.

those drivers head on and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down. He earned a pair of top 10 finishes in two seasons of racing in the Formula Atlantic Labatts Championship Series, but his proudest moment in racing came on August 6, 1980, in at the MidOhio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. On that day Nelkin and his team, Nelkin Racing, overpowered many of The Canadian-American Challenge Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big spenders on the way to a third-place finish in the SCCA Citicorp Can-Am Challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were sponsored privateers. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t these big mammoth teams which had 20 guys at the track and 30 back in the garage,â&#x20AC;? Nelkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; My third place was very satisfying. Considering the disparity between the teams, to me that was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me.â&#x20AC;? The only drivers to finish ahead of Nelkin that day were eventual series champ Patrick Tambay and Al Holbert, a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Nelkin did find himself in front of several big name drivers, including Rahal, future Indy 500 champion Danny Sullivan, and future Formula One drivers Bertil Roos and Ricardo LondoĂąo. Nelkin gave up racing not long after, feeling heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reached his potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was as good as I was going to get â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was pretty good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I was satisfied with my performance,â&#x20AC;? Nelkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that season my wife was pregnant with our first child, Joshua, and he was

due at the end of the season. I figured, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as good as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to get, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m starting to have a family, maybe now is the time to ease myself out of motorracing and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did.â&#x20AC;? The couple ended up having three children in addition to Joshua â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sons Micah and M.S. and daughter Maxx. Through the years Nelkin fell out of contact with many of his old racing buddies, but technology paved the way to rekindle some of those old relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, Facebook is the great re-connector of the world now,â&#x20AC;? Nelkin See NELKIN, Page A12

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Kenjon Barner replaced suspended running back LaMichael James for Oregon and ran for a career-high 147 yards and four touchdowns before catching another score. Quarterback Darron Thomas, making his debut at starter for Oregon (1-0), completed 13 of 23 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. The Ducks had a record 720 yards in total offense. Oregon went to the Rose Bowl last season as the Pac-10 champions before several players ran afoul of the law, including quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who was dismissed from the team. Barner was subbing for James, who was suspended for a game after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge stemming from a conflict with an ex-girlfriend. New Mexico (0-1), which was 1-11 last season, managed only 107 yards on offense and eight first downs - compared to 35 for the Ducks.

Florida shaky in 34-12 win

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Jeff Demps had a long scoring run, John Brantley added a fluky touchdown pass late and No. 4 Florida overcame an error-filled game to beat Miami (Ohio) 34-12 Saturday. The Gators (1-0) used four interceptions, several red-zone stops and two late touchdowns to avoid a meltdown. There were fumbles, bad snaps, poor throws, several penalties and possibly more frustration in The Swamp than ever before.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you got in the game, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of emotion ... (and) I was more nervous my first Louisiana Tech game. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called experience, I guess.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UT coach Derek Dooley, on his first game with the Vols in 1983. Tauren Poole had been waiting all year to prove heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been unfairly stuck behind Bryce Brown and David Oku on the Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; depth chart last season. He delivered, darting through holes, running around coverage and picking up 110 yards on 17 carries before sitting out the entire fourth quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The backs ran good,â&#x20AC;? said Dooley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The line blocked well. They were packing them in and trying to stop the run, but we did a nice job up front. The runners ran hard and I think we just wore them down a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Oku had his share of carries too and found some large holes for a 44-yard touchdown run with 5:00 left in the first quarter to give the Vols a 10-0 lead in the season opener for both teams. Denarius Moore ran 58 yards for a touchdown and caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Matt Simms. Moore finished with 66 yards on four catches, and Gerald Jones had 86 yards on six catches before injuring his left hand. Tennessee scored nearly every way it could. Austin Johnson tackled D.J.

football. We protected the ball. When we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get first downs, we played good field position. The defense was aggressive. We tackled well. Those are all the basics that you worry about in the first game, and I was pleased with that.â&#x20AC;? UT Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young, inexperienced offense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any rhythm. The Skyhawks neither completed a pass nor picked up a first down in the first quarter but were flagged for delay of game four times. By the end of the game,

they had 142 yards on offense compared to Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 537. Carr finished 9-for-22 for 66 yards and threw two interceptions. The Skyhawks were penalized 11 times for 83 yards. Tennessee, which had its own share of young players, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without its share of mistakes either. Gerald Jones fumbled his first punt return of the game, and UT Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kendal Harper recovered on the Tennessee 36. The Skyhawks couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capi-

talize, punting four plays later after going only three yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did muff a punt, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned about where we are at punt returner,â&#x20AC;? said Dooley. Matt Simms, who completed 14 of 24 for 181 yards, overthrew Luke Stocker and Denarius Moore several times. The Vols picked up several penalties for false starts and one for delay of game, and an illegal formation penalty forced Lincoln to redo a field goal attempt.

UT Martin didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare quite as well as it did the last time it faced a Southeastern Conference team. The Skyhawks lost 37-20 at Auburn in 2008 after tying the Tigers at 20 in the third quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defense was flying around there pretty good,â&#x20AC;? said Dooley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they struggled to block us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a toughness matchup.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sports Writer Cobey Hitchcock contributed to this report.

Spiller. In the season opener for both teams, Ellington got things going with a 60-yard scoring run on Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second snap just 16 seconds into the game. He added a 14-yard run in the third quarter. Harper caught an 8-yard touchdown pass seconds before halftime. He ended the scoring for the Tigers with a 3-yard run. Ellington ended with 122 yards and Harper 102, the first time Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had two rushers top the century mark since its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thunder and Lightningâ&#x20AC;? combo of James Davis and Spiller accomplished it against Maryland in 2007. Quarterback Kyle Parker added two TD passes, including a 70-yarder to Brandon Clear.

Virginia 34, Richmond 13.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keith Payne ran for four touchdowns and Virginia ended a four-year losing streak in season openers with a 34-13 victory against Richmond on Saturday night. Payne, who was finished with football until Al Groh was fired and Mike London replaced him after last season, carried 16 times for 114 yards. He had consecutive carries of 15, 13 and 15 yards on the third scoring drive, each time carrying several defenders along. Richmond, which beat Duke to start the season twice in the past five seasons, lost in the coaching debut of Latrell Scott, a former Virginia wide receivers coach. The Spiders pulled to 14-13 on Wil Kaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second field goal in the third quarter, but Virginia answered with a nine-play, 74-yard drive. Payne gained 50 yards on five carries, including a 2-yard scoring run.

After contacting some old friends through the socialnetworking site, Nelkin got back in contact with his old mechanic, Ross Stone. “He was my mechanic for probably five years, from Forumula Atlantic up through Can-Am,” Nelkin said. Now Stone is at the helm of Stone Brothers Racing — “It’s the largest racing operation in all of Australia,” Nelkin said. Stone founded Stone Brothers Racing with his brother Jim in 1998. The team races in Australia’s V8 Supercar Series, the Down Under’s equivalent to NASCAR. In Supercar, three Stone Brothers’ teams have won championships, including a pair with current NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Marcos Ambrose in the driver’s seat. Last month Stone was attending Irwin Tools night race at Bristol, and he invited R.J., Daryl and their son

Ruritan and Methodist Church booths support outreach projects

Fair for the community

By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Before you give in to the temptation of funnel cakes, fried candy bars or cotton candy at the Sevier County Fair, you might first want to step up to the counters of the Ruritan Club or First United Methodist Church booths to have a homemade treat. The purchase not only satisfies your hunger but fills needs in the community. With a combined 80-plus years experience feeding fairgoers, the two organizations are most famous for offering fried green tomatoes (Ruritans) and chicken and dumplings (Methodists) at their booths that sit catty-cornered to each other just inside the entrance gates. But it’s what they do with the proceeds that sets them apart from the rest of the vendors at the fair. Ruritan Club president Teresa Adams and club member Jonas Smelcer said the funds they generate each year from the fair booth help the community in a lot of ways. Part of the money goes toward their scholarship program, which this year provided eleven $500 scholarships that help recent high school graduates pay for books as they enter college. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They’ve purchased kitchen appliances and a shower for child development classes at two Pigeon Forge schools that are being used to teach the children life skills. “There was a student at Catlettsburg who was in a wheelchair and had to crawl up the steps of his house,” said Smelcer. “We purchased the materials and built a ramp.”

Curt Habraken/The Mountain Press

The Ruritans and the Methodist Church both built permanent buildings at the fairgrounds for the booths they use once a year. The Ruritans this year added an extension to give them more storage space. “We do a lot to help the elderly,” Adams said, adding they are one of the co-sponsors of Saturday’s senior day at the fair. Other monies go to help pay power bills, buy eyeglasses and even help with funeral expenses. “Every dollar that is made by our club goes back into our community,” she said. It’s much the same for the group from First United Methodist Church of Sevierville, which uses the money to pay for things that aren’t covered in the church’s yearly budget, said fair booth coordinator David Elrod. “We’ve used the money to build a playground. We used it one year to build a pavilion at church or for little projects. We bought shirts and chairs for the choir,” Elrod said. “We use a lot of it in our kitchen, of course,” he added. “That helps out with the community supper that we do on Thursday, which is a free meal for anyone who needs it.” Elrod said they’ve also helped out to meet needs of the Sevier County Food Ministries. “That’s part of our outreach. That’s what the

money is there for,” Elrod said. “Any way that we can personally help the community.” Before they can do that, however, they have to get through fair week, which means a lot of time and effort by volunteers. The number of volunteers has increased over the last several years for Ruritans as membership has grown, said Adams. They now have more than 70 members from high school age on up on their roster. Their day at the fair begins well before the gates open at 5 p.m. They prep for the night ahead, where they’ll go through three to four cases of green tomatoes. “We slice ’em, bread ’em, fry ’em and feed ’em,” Adams said as she, Smelcer and fellow members Carl Flynn and Ralph Whaley worked on site last week. The tomatoes get a fryer all of their own, with the second deep fryer dedicated to french fries and corn dogs. They’ll also be hamburgers and hot dogs available. After many requests last year, ranch dressing has been added to go with

Adams and Smelcer credit Deborah Rauhuff for coming up with the idea 10 years ago for fried green tomatoes, which quickly became very popular. For the Methodist booth across the way, Elrod said he’ll be cooking up about a dozen hens each day to serve with gallons of fresh homemade dumplings. Dozens of volunteers are signed up to debone chickens and make dumplings. Other volunteers will make batches of soup beans, corn bread and desserts. The Million Dollar Pie, Elrod said, is the most popular of the desserts. Elrod said the United Methodist Women group came up with the idea of selling chicken and dumplings when the fair was located at the old fair grounds, where alumni field is next to Sevierville Middle School. “It started in a little shack and we’ve just kind of carried it on,” he said. Both Elrod and the Ruritans said they work well together, helping out when one runs out of one thing and eating from each other’s booths. Because they each sell different things, there’s no sense of competition. But the best thing to remember is that they’re all working for the community, and that’s why they hope the community supports them this week. “It’s very important because they know all the money is going to stay in Sevier County,” Elrod said.

upl and chronicles

Pair of Maples made their mark on Sevier County By Theresa Williams In the mountains of Sevier County there lived two men who were given the great responsibility of carrying on the name of one of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hero, David Crockett. They were named David Crockett Maples Sr. and David Crockett Maples Jr. Their fame would be recorded in books and told at family gatherings for generations. Maples Sr. was born in 1840 in the mountains of Sevier County. He was the son of William Abijah Maples and Elizabeth McMahan. He served as a corporal in the Union Army in Company H, Ninth Regiment Tennessee Calvary. Before 1855 he married Mary R. Ogle, who was the daughter of Isaac â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shuckyâ&#x20AC;? and Susannah Bohannon Ogle. Mary R. Ogle Maples was born in 1834 and died in 1885. They made their home in the Banner Community which was located just north of Gatlinburg on Highway 441. Maples Sr. lived through a horrible event that brought him fame and showed the endurance and capabilities of our Sevier County citizens. His daughter, Bell Maples Burris, who lived

in Lafollette, relates this story: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A salesman had asked Dad to take him to Cherokee, N.C. They stared out and a winter snowstorm came upon them when they were high in the mountains. They got to the top of the mountain, and Dad showed him the trail into North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The storm grew into a blizzard, and Dad, at times, could not see the trail. Thinking all was lost he crawled into a hollow log, thinking this was probably his last day on earth. Next morning, he was amazed to find that he had not frozen to death. His legs felt numb, so he struggled to the nearest house. The nearest house to him was located just above where the Chimneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Picnic Area is now located. This family sent word to Mom, and the family went to get him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs were frost bitten. In order to preserve his life, they took him to the woodshed and with a saw, and without anesthesia, they amputated his feet.â&#x20AC;? Being a hardy mountain man and unwilling to give up, he made himself a pair of boots with straps he could tie around his legs. He shaped wooden feet

and put them in the boots; and with the help of two canes, he continued a normal life. Maples Sr. lived many years after this event. He died in 1928 and was buried beside his wife in the Banner Cemetery, which was across the road from his home. Maples Jr. was born in Sevier County in 1871. He married Cora Lucretia Ogle, who was the daughter of Ephraim Earl and Hanna Elizabeth Evans Ogle. She

was born in 1884 and died in 1951. Maples Jr. carried the mail around the Gatlinburg area for 33 years. He delivered the mail by horseback through all kinds of weather. He was a good neighbor who not only delivered the mail, but spread the word when someone died, or when there was illness in the community. It is said that he was responsible for several marriages in the mountains, as he delivered letters for free

David Crockett Maples Jr. was the Gatlinburg mail carrier for 40 years. He was known for his devotion to the job,

between courting couples who could not afford the penny for a stamp. He and Cora Lucretia were married on horseback, which was not a common practice. They had three children: Ephraim, Rellie, and Bruce Maples. David Crockett and Cora Lucretia Maples lay side by side in the White Oak Flats Cemetery in Gatlinburg. Born in the hills of Tennessee, two men named David Crockett Maples will be remembered as unique men who met lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chal-

Tips offered for safe handling of eggs Well, now is a good time to check your knowledge of egg safety. As you know, recently 550,000 eggs were recalled for an outbreak of the food borne illness salmonella. The recalled shell eggs were packaged under the following brand names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralphs, Boomsmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps. If you have any of these brands in your refrigerator, you should discard them. Salmonella symptoms are cramps, diarrhea, nausea, chills and fever within 6 to 72 hours after eating. Call the doctor if you think you may be ill from eating recalled eggs. Remember eggs should always be prepared and handled with care to prevent food borne illnesses. Keep in mind the following egg safety tips. n Keep shell eggs refrigerated at all times.

Public pulpit

Don’t speak or preach unless we get our message from God By ALDEN MARSHALL When I asked if his pastor preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, he acted as if I had asked for his personality profile or world view. So he answered that he is a good man, with practical sermons. But how can anyone know if the pastor is a good man unless God is with him unmistakably? He may say good words and act wonderfully in public and be the opposite in private. I dated a woman at the University of Tennessee whose father was a pastor who beat her mother very much. He probably did not speak of doing that from the pulpit. Futhermore, the man who ignored my question implied that it is impractical to empathize the spiritual. No, it is impractical to stress the emotional or just our opinions without hearing from God before and as we speak. Preaching with the anointing of the Holy Spirit is very practical, for then God speaks to us clearly and deeply and shows us what we are doing right and where

we need to repent and to change. That is what we need and desire, unless we are determined to do the opposite of whatever pleases Jesus Christ. God has all knowledge and understanding of any person and circumstance, so it is logical to want to hear his words spoken in church services especially. Those who are converted to follow Jesus as God, and who are called to preach, and who repent much and then pray for his guidance, do preach under his direction. I am very sad that such historic Christian preaching is so rarely heard or understood when it is written about. Our opinions and melodious voices may impress the evil and the ignorant, but they will help only in very shallow and trivial ways. How very important it is to have the very words of God, especially when we dare to speak in his name. 1 Corinthians 4.20 The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Words are very important, but even good words will be inappropriate and will have little impact unless they are birthed by the

Holy Spirit, and delivered by those who are broken, repenting, and walking in the light of Jesus Christ. I heard Dr. Stephen Olford preach at Park Street Church in Boston, and God was clearly with him. About 300 gave their lives to Jesus Christ that day. One was a person I had been praying for and talking with about conversion. After returning to Tennessee I would hear him on the radio, and I would always quit switching stations then, for his words were always very powerful and positive for me. He had no way to know who would listen, but he knew God would listen, so he spoke under the influence of the Holy Spirit. They were assured of being a strong witness for or against all who heard his words. May God forgive us for daring to speak or to preach without getting our message from him. And yes, I have needed and asked his forgiveness for doing that. Have you also? — Dr. Alden Marshall is a Presbyterian minister who lives in Gatlinburg.

Smoky Mountain Reflections September 2010 Words. Words are what we use to communicate. The English language, which is relatively new on the language scene, has about three quarters of a million words. When the Anglos and the Saxons migrated to the British Isles and created the first language that is gender neutral on the pronouns by inventing the word the, they had no idea that they were creating a language that would replace Latin and French as the worldwide language. As a matter of fact, ever since the Tower of Babel, when God divided mankind’s language from one to many in order to dilute our sinful nature, human creativity and lazy diction have led to a constant and fluent change in the human vocabulary. The fact that the average English speaker has a vocabulary of about 15,000 words and that men need to speak about 15,000 a day while women need to speak about 25,000, a day, on top of this a man is usually finished communicating around 4PM and a woman still has about 15,000 to 20,000 words to go, is actually more about communication and really a topic for another day. So let’s keep our focus on words this month, shall we? Words and phrases have a shelf life. Some have survived for centuries while others have a shorter life span than that of most teen idols! It really depends on what the word is designed to communicate. Words like “sundries” which still appears on a local drug store sign here in Pigeon Forge have long since gone out of use. Many people do not know that sundry means miscellaneous objects too numerous or too small to be specified. If someone were to say, “Put that on a lory”—an American would say, “What is a lory?” and an Englishman would say, “You have misspelled lorry which you colonists call semi-trailers!” while an Australian would think you were crazy to try to put something on a parrot! But none would think you were speaking of a common 19th century English hand-cart used on tramways, in mines, or at railway stations for carrying coal or other types of ore. In the same way, many modern English speakers would not know what an apothecary is (a pharmacist) and would have no idea what a brigandine was unless they were into things like a medieval coat of chain mail consisting of metal rings sewn onto leather or cloth. Suffice it to say, words can have multiple meanings at the same time depending on the spoken context, the cultural context, and the time in which it is used. On top of this we have slang and the transitory nature of catch phrases that are all very cultural and time sensitive. So in our life time, the words bad, hip, cool, bomb, trick, hot, rad, and a host of other words that have other meanings have each spent time or continue to mean good. I am reminded of Isaiah 5:20 which says “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,” but that is also a discussion for another day. Let’s expand our discussion from words to familiar phrases. “Back to the drawing board” –back to the computer now; “carbon copy” –photocopy; “catch you on the flipside” –audio files do not have one like 45’s did; “close but no cigar” –how long since cigars were fairway prizes? A lot of the phrases we use today are not even remotely connected to what they originally meant. “Drop a dime” –still in use but good luck finding a pay phone and be ready to pay much more than a dime! “Full steam ahead” –how long has it been since any thing was powered by steam? “In like Flynn” –I hope not as he has been dead for over 40 years. “Off the hook” –how long has it been since you really hung up a phone or have you ever hung a phone on a hook? “Over the top” meant something crazy like leaving the security of a WW1 trench, and for my younger readers - I did not misspell Wii. WW1 means World War One. OK...I think I have more than made my point. All language is in a state of constant fluctuation and change. This makes it even more amazing and clearly an issue of faith, that God cut directly through all that chatter to give us His clear and authoritative word. He first carried this truth from creation to Moses, giving us the Pentateuch, a combination of divine revelation, written and verbal witnesses and mostly His first hand eyewitness. For a more profound understanding of formal verbal traditions and the confidence we can place in God’s word from a middle eastern view, I recommend the 4-part series by Crossways: “The Historical Jesus: A Middle Eastern View” with Dr. Kenneth Bailey who has profound insights into the middle eastern mind and communicates them very clearly. After traveling through time and the ancient languages of biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek, languages that are distant cousins to modern day Hebrew and Greek and which are no longer really spoken as they were in their day from 1446 BC to 95 AD, the amazing and miraculous word of God has survived through history unscathed by our weaknesses. It cuts through the fleeting nature of words and grammar to communicate to us how much God loves us and how He redeemed us through Christ’s blood. So for this month, I will close with the words of a stuttering farm animal: “That’s all folks!”
