Hearing for Carter delayed Status of license moved from September until October By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer
5A glorious adventure Couple’s second business a labor of love Mountain Life, Page B1
SEVIERVILLE — A hearing on the license status of Dr. Rodney Carter won’t happen before the Board of Medical Examiners in Nashville later this month. Instead, it will happen before an administrative law judge in Sevier County sometime in October. Carter is appealing the Board
of Medical Examiners’ decision to suspend his medical license after he was charged with three counts of rape and three counts of sexual battery. Authorities say the charges stem from improper actions during examinations of patients at Leconte Family Practice, the clinic he owns on Middle Creek Road. A spokesperson for the board confirmed Carter isn’t on the
agenda for the board’s next regular meeting, which is set for Sept. 15-16. Sevierville attorney Bryan Delius, who represents Carter, said they planned to take the matter before the board at that Nashville meeting. Instead, the spokesperson said the case will go before an administrative law judge so that it can be heard in Sevier County, since the alleged victims are from this
area. That is supposed to happen in October, but the specific time and date have not been set. Carter’s appearance before the administrative law judge could come before he faces his next court appearance on the criminal charges. His plea date on that matter is set for Sept. 29; the trial is set for Dec. 9. n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

Sevier County Fair has been a local favorite since 1902 By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The Sevier County Fair has been a favorite event of local residents since 1902 — and fair director Marlene Forrester says it shows no signs of slowing down. “It’s been held in different locations, including the site of the old Sevierville Middle School,” Forrester said. “Once Stokely closed its site, the county bought it and turned it into the Sevier County Fairgrounds. “We have anywhere from 20,000 to 26,000 people attending every year, depending on the weather.” Held Monday through Saturday at the Sevier County Fairgrounds, the fair offers attractions that guests can enjoy all week.

By STAN VOIT Editor For nine years, Tyler Bruhin has been exhibiting his sheep in fairs, shows and competitions across several states. He’ll be back this week at the Sevier County Fair trying to add to his massive collection of ribbons and plaques. And cash. Tyler and his dad figure he’s won close to $50,000 with his sheep, as well as lots of scholarships that are helping pay for his college studies. Tyler, now 18, was just a tyke when his family moved to their three-acre farm in Boyds Creek community. When he was 9, his father, Alan Bruhin, head of Extension for Sevier County, got Tyler and his younger brother interested in show animals. They tried cattle and pigs before settling on sheep. “I enjoy working with sheep,” said the 2009 graduate of Sevier County High. “They’re like pets in a way. They get calmer the longer you work with them.

’Burg leaders to consider Winter Magic kickoff move By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — The success of an experiment with involving this spring’s Ribfest has prompted city leaders to consider a dramatic change for Gatlinburg’s Winter Magic kickoff. On the agenda for the City Council’s meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall is a proposal to close a portion of the Parkway to host the annual event, which includes a chili cook-off and live music. If it’s approved, the busy thoroughfare will be closed form 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Nov. 4 between Traffic Light 6 and Maples Lane. The move would be just another in a long line of new locations for the popular celebration, which in recent years has filled the plaza in front of Ripley’s Aquarium, River Road and a city parking lot just off the Parkway. Special events organizers hope the change gives revelers more room to spread out than they had in that parking facility. They’re also optimistic those attending the event might more readily wander into stores along the Parkway. For the first time this spring, the Ribfest event was held on the Parkway, with a similar closure for that festival. The location proved popular, both for visitors and shop owners, many of whom expressed appreciation for the increased foot traffic. Despite concerns blocking the busy street

n a t i o n / w o r l d brie f s Man charged in trailer deaths
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The 911 call was chilling: A frantic 22-year-old told a dispatcher he had returned home from a night out to find his entire family dead in his father’s mobile home. After a week working a case so murky they could not say whether a killer was on the loose, police said Guy Heinze Jr. was responsible for the slayings he reported and charged him with eight counts of first-degree murder. Among the dead were seven of his relatives, including his father. As family members prepared to bury the victims Saturday, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said two new pieces of information led authorities to charge Heinze late Friday.
43 suspected militants killed
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani troops killed 43 alleged militants in an operation in the Khyber tribal region while airstrikes left several more dead Saturday in the stronghold of the new Taliban chief elsewhere in the northwest, officials said. Militants frequently attack trucks along the famed Khyber Pass, a main route for supplies destined for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Annie Leibovitz in financial straits
NEW YORK (AP) — Annie Leibovitz’s artsy, provocative portraits of celebrities regularly grace the covers of Vanity Fair and Vogue, images that have made her as famous as her subjects and earned her millions. Now Leibovitz risks losing the copyright to the images — and her entire life’s work — if she doesn’t pay back a $24 million loan by Tuesday. Art Capital Group, a New York company that issues short-term loans against fine and decorative arts and real estate, sued her in late July for breach of contract. “We have clear contractual rights and will protect them in any scenario,” said ACG spokesman Montieth Illingworth. “Our preference is for this to be resolved.”
Cops on coffee break spot suspects
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — It didn’t take much work for two county sheriff’s deputies in Minnesota to track down four burglary suspects. In fact, the suspects pulled right into the Happy Chef restaurant where the Blue Earth County deputies were on a coffee break Wednesday night. The deputies had been investigating three residential burglaries that seemed to be related. When they were on their break at Happy Chef, a report of another burglary came in from another county, along with a description of the suspects’ pickup truck. A truck matching that description pulled right into the parking lot. The stolen goods, including laptop computers, other electronics and jewelry, were in the back.

Couple charged after posing kids with guns
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York couple face criminal charges after they allegedly photographed their 11-month-old and 5-year-old boys posing with guns. Police say the 24-year-old mother told investigators she thought the photos would be funny. Authorities found out about the pictures after the woman e-mailed them to friends and relatives, and one of them called the city’s child protection agency. The woman and her boyfriend face child endangerment, weapons and marijuana charges.
By CHRIS WEBER Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES — The entire western edge of the massive wildfire burning north of Los Angeles was under control Saturday, but the arson-caused blaze continued to move unchecked into wilderness to the east, officials said. Investigators, meanwhile, were working to find the arsonist responsible for the huge wildfire that has killed two firefighters and burned nearly 242 square miles, or 154,655 acres, of the Angeles National Forest. It was 49 percent contained. At least 76 homes and dozens of other structures have been destroyed. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprit. The risk to homes was significantly reduced as hand crews held the fire line to the north, south and west, said U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Michelle Caldwell. Aerial water drops were expected to resume Saturday to slow the fire’s eastern movement into the rural San Gabriel Wilderness. Overnight, firefighters built six miles of new lines on the northwestern flank of the blaze near Santa Clarita, according to Forest Service spokeswoman Barbara Rebisky. A historic observatory and TV, radio and other antennas on Mount Wilson, which at one point were dangerously close to the flames, appeared safe, she said. “They say Mount Wilson is prepped better than it’s been in about the last 100 years,” Rebisky said. “That’s looking real good.” Crews with local utilities were preparing to move into the fire zone to repair or replace more than 1,000 damaged or downed power lines, Rebisky said. The weekend weather forecast called for cooler temperatures and slightly higher humidity that could help firefighters further surround the blaze, which has cost fire agencies $37 million to fight.

Lew Johnson, 74, a real estate broker, carries salvaged items in a bucket as he returns for the first time to his home on Stonyvale Road in Big Tujunga Canyon in the Angeles National Forest, just outside the Sunland area of Los Angeles. tigators were working to analyze clues found at a charred hillside, including incendiary material reported to have been found there. Officials said the fire was arson but were still investigating who started it and how. “We are in the early stages, just beginning to put things together,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Liam Gallagher, who is heading the homicide investigation. “Firefighters losing their lives in the line of duty is an added incentive, but we work every case to the fullest.” Near a large shade tree where crews get their twice daily briefings, firefighters set up a makeshift memorial for Capt. Tedmund Hall and Specialist Arnaldo Quinones. The fallen firefighters helped save about 60 members of an inmate fire crew last Sunday as flames approached their camp when they set a backfire that allowed the group to get to safety. The pair died when their truck plunged 800 feet down a steep mountain road
as they sought an escape route. Most wildfires are caused by human activity, and government statistics show that people were faulted for 5,208 wildfires in Southern California in 2008, the highest number since at least 2001. Between 2006 and 2008, Southern California was
the only region of the country to see a significant jump in the number of wildfires blamed on people. Still, very few of the forest fires lead to criminal or civil cases. The U.S. Forest Service recorded nearly 400 arson wildfires since 2005, records show.

five years down the road and it still tastes fresh.” One of her first memories about canning is an accident her grandmother had with the pressure cooker. “I don’t know if it blew up, but something happened and she was canning tomatoes,” she said. “I remember the jars, they all busted and went all over and she had to go to the emergency room, and I was scared to death. Pressure cookers still scare me. … I’m always afraid they’re going to blow up, but you just have to watch your gauges on them and make sure that they don’t blow up.” The family stores all canned goods in what they call the can house, a small cement block building lined with shelves full of beets, beans, okra, vegetable soup, chili, apples, raspberries and more. Samantha said about the only canned food item purchased at a store is pinto beans. “If you can make juice or jelly out of it, we can can it,” Samantha said. “If it’s food, we can can it.” The love for canning kind of skipped a generation, Samantha said, admitting her mother and aunts don’t really enjoy the practice. Come summertime, however, most of the family get involved in the process. Some of them may not enjoy all the hard work, “but they do like to eat the food,” Samantha said.
Samantha said she really got into fair exhibits about three years ago. The fair is something the family has always participated in, entering the contests and attending the events. Last year, she even entered some eggs from her hens, but she won’t be able to do that this year “because all my chickens got killed, and we haven’t gotten any new ones since.” “Papaw thinks that it was a weasel” who killed her chickens. This year she said she’s entering just about every canned goods category. Most all of the food she’s canned came from her grandparents’ gardens. A few came from the farmers market and Carver’s Apple Orchard. She uses recipes handed down from her grandmother. Samantha said they tried a new recipe for jelly this year, but it didn’t congeal like it needed to, so they went back to the original, handwritten recipe. Samantha said she has quite a few ribbons from previous fairs, but wouldn’t mind earning a few more this year. In 2008, she

didn’t earn a single ribbon for her canned goods, but made adjustments this year. “Something I did learn last year is, everything that won was in the pint jars instead of quart jars, so we made sure to put everything in pint jars,” she said. “I didn’t win anything with my quart jars last year.” The family always goes to the opening night of the fair, but winners aren’t announced until Tuesday. Samantha said the exhibit hall will be the first place she’ll visit on Tuesday night to see how her entries fared. Samantha’s love for gardening and canning isn’t a passing fancy. She plans to attend the University of Tennessee and major in agriculture. She’s not sure yet of the focus of her studies. “I’ve grown up around agriculture,” she said, citing grandfathers who were both tobacco farmers and one a cattle trader. “Growing up, I guess when you’re talking with your friends about what you want to be when you grow up, everybody’s like daughters, lawyers,” she

Tyler Bruhin with one of the sheep he’s entering in this week’s Sevier County fair sheep show.

They don’t jump around as much.” People raise sheep because they provide an income in two ways — the wool and the meat. Tyler, however, doesn’t sell the wool. He keeps it trimmed on his show sheep just to make them look good. Whereas a sheep farmer might shear animals two or there times a year, Tyler shears his sheep 10 times a year, to keep them better groomed for exhibitions. “We don’t sell the wool,” he said. “When we cut it, it’s just too short.” Over the years, Tyler figures he’s owned 200 sheep. He usually gets them as lambs, three or four months old. He and his dad pick them up from as far away as Pennsylvania and Illinois. Alan Bruhin says he takes care of the feeding, while Tyler and his younger brother, Jared, handle everything else, including watering and grooming. Mostly the boys prepare the animals for showing, like at
this week’s fair. The brothers don’t compete against each other. Their sheep are different and enter separate categories. The first one or two sheep Tyler worked with as a 9-year-old were animals he got attached to, and was sad when he sold them off. Now he’s become a little more detached. The Bruhins do send some of the animals off to be slaughtered for the meat. Lamb meat tastes like beef, Tyler said, only sweeter. Some of the sheep are sold, especially the ones that do well in major shows. Tyler is a freshman at Walters State Community College and will transfer to the University of Tennessee, possibly to studying agribusiness. He’s not sure what he wants to do yet. While he and his brother may be the only Sevier County people entered in the sheep show this week, others from throughout East Tennessee will be coming here for it. If so, they’d better be ready. Tyler Bruhin has as history of being a winner. n svoit@themountainpress.com

Health care bill expected soon from Senate panel WASHINGTON (AP) — Signaling it’s time for action, the Senate’s chief negotiator on a health care bill told his colleagues he won’t wait much longer for a Republican compromise. “I am committed to getting health care reform done — done soon and done right,� Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, said in a statement. He is considering making a formal proposal soon to the small group of Senate negotiators who call themselves the “Bipartisan Six.� Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, held a nearly two-hour teleconference on Friday with the other five negotiators from his committee. The group has been struggling for months to come up with an acceptable bipartisan bill. While he was careful to leave the door open to a long-sought deal, Baucus clearly signaled the time has come for him to move ahead. President Barack Obama plans to address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday to boost health care reform, a key element of his ambitious domestic agenda. The president, meanwhile, is trying to placate some unhappy House members who fear he’s too eager to compromise with Republicans and conservative Democrats to get a bill.

Forrester reported that Wednesday is “Guys’ Night at the Fair,� with an Extreme Skateboard demonstration at 7 p.m. in the arena and wrestling presented by Sevier Attitude Wrestling at 8 p.m. in the Center Stage area. Wednesday is also Canned Food Drive Night: Between 5-7 p.m., guests can bring in two non-perishable food items (two per person) and get a buy one, get one free entrance. All donations go to the Sevier County Food Ministries. A dog show will be held at the Red Barn and a cattle show will be at the Cattle Barn at 6 p.m. Wednesday. On Thursday night, seniors (adults age 50 and older) are admitted free. A Kids Dance Showcase will begin at 5:30 at Center Stage, and a sheep show will be held at 6 in the Cattle Barn.

retreat in the Maryland, Obama spoke to leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and other liberal-leaning House groups. Caucus leader Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., said the lawmakers expressed their commitment to creation of a governmentrun plan to compete with private health insurers. On Thursday, they sent Obama a letter saying they could not support a health bill that lacked such a public option. Woolsey said Obama listened, asked questions and said discussions should continue. She said a follow-up meeting will occur next week at the White House. Another participant said the president was noncommittal about the governmentrun plan. Senate Finance is the only one of five congressional committees with jurisdiction over health care that has yet to produce a bill. On Friday, Baucus said the members of his group agree on several big-picture items, including the need to control costs, provide access to affordable coverage for all Americans and ensure that health care fixes don’t add to the deficit. The negotiators have been working on a ted free with their ID. A sheep show will be held at 6 p.m. at the Cattle Barn, and grilling demonstrations presented by Rel Maples Institute for the Culinary Arts will be held at 6 and 7 p.m. next to the Sevier County Utility District display. On Saturday, Sevier County Schools students can get a buy-one, getone-free wristband with a coupon from Food City. Grilling demonstrations will continue at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. next to the SCUD Display, and a goat show will be held at 6 p.m. at the Cattle Barn. Fair patrons can also meet Captain Jack Sparrow of “The Pirates of the Caribbean� at 7 p.m. at the Center Stage, then enjoy a performance by Pirates of the Mississippi, the country group whose hits include “Feed Jake� and “Fish Bait� at 8 p.m. at the Center Stage. Big Mama’s Karaoke Cafe offers guests the chance to sing their heart out at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Red Barn. “The people who live in town really rally around the fair,� Forrester said. “There are lots of discounts and you can bring the family. It’s a fun time for any age.� The fair is open from 5-10 p.m. Monday-Friday and 3-10 p.m. Saturday. Adult admission is $5, and kids age 10 and under are admitted free.

pared-back bill that would cost under $1 trillion over 10 years and drop contentious components, such as the government-sponsored insurance plan that liberals insist must be in the legislation. But with Republican leaders solidly opposed to Obama’s approach, the GOP negotiators are under tremendous pressure not to cooperate. In the last few weeks, two GOP negotiators — Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Mike Enzi of Wyoming — have made harsh pub-
lic statements about the Democrats’ approach. The third Republican, Olympia Snowe of Maine, has been circumspect. The other two members of the group are Democrats Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico. In the GOP’s weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee underscored his party’s resolve to fight an overhaul of the health care system. “It’s time to press the ’reset’ button,� said Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, Associated Press who wants Congress to toss out the Democrats’ Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., talks to reporters outside the health care plans.

Mission learns lessons in Ethiopia KNOXVILLE (AP) — Cardiologist Bret Rogers traveled to Ethiopia to help through a medical mission team but found that he was the one who needed the Ethiopians. As he treated beneficiaries of the AIDS Care and Treatment Project, he learned life lessons from them and the organization’s staff, he said. “All of us would guess we received more than we gave, and gained a better understanding of what it means to be a faithful servant of Christ,”
Rogers said, by observing Ethiopian nurses who acted as interpreters to Knoxville doctors and nurses during clinics. Many of them came to help out after working a night shift. Rogers, a partner in the University Cardiology group, was part of a 14-member medical mission team that traveled to Ethiopia in July to work with the AIDS Care and Treatment, or ACT, Project, Ethiopia’s largest home-based AIDS Care agency. The group, all
Knoxville residents and comprised of eight doctors and nurses and six nonmedical people, including two high school students, was sent through Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church. The ACT Project was founded in 2003 by Chattanooga-based couple Bev and Andy Warren. Over eight days, the team held eight clinics and treated about 50 patients each time. The hardest and most emotional part was seeing people who came with ailments that could
have been addressed long ago but were left untreated because of limited access to health care, said Jennifer Johnson, assistant director of nursing at the Knox County Health Department. Johnson treated a 28-year-old woman who was carried in on a relative’s back. She weighed about 50 pounds and suffered from malnutrition, dehydration and anemia. Her condition had existed so long that she was close to death. Yet, all she wanted was reading glasses.

Almanac loaded with fun facts
I got my 2010 edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac the other day. This thing has been published since 1792. The inside cover says it’s been “fitted for Atlanta and the southern states, with special corrections and calculations to answer for all the United States.” How can you not love something that’s been around more than 200 years, with writing as witty as that? Issue No. 218 is jammed with all manner of interesting, if not always useful, information, from jokes to astrology to handy tips to the times when the planets will be most visible. And course, weather projections. Here are some things you learn by reading the almanac: n 38 percent of people grill yearround. n 32,000 horses roam free in western states. n 40 pounds of junk mail are sent to each American annually. n Researchers at the University of Vienna say dogs have an innate sense of what’s fair. When they rewarded only one of two dogs playing, the other dog quit the game. Also they found dogs refuse to look at a person if the animal notices that person ignoring another dog. n 399 million pounds of specialty cheeses are produced by Wisconsin factories. That’s three times as much as a decade ago. n 367,000 children in the United States are vegetarians. n In traditional Catholic countries like Spain and Portugal, Father’s Day is observed on March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph. In Thailand Father’s Day occurs on the king’s birthday, which for the current king is Dec. 5. In Taiwan Father’s Day is observed on Aug. 8, of the eighth month, because the Mandarin Chinese word for eight sounds like the word for “papa.” n Samuel Clemens tried out several pseudonyms, including Rambler, W. Epaminodas Adrastus Blab, and Josh, before settling on Mark Twain, which was a phrase used by Mississippi River steamboat crews when measuring water depth. In 1874 he spotted one of the first typewriters, a Remington, in a Boston store and bought it for $125. n For a facial at home, whip the white of an egg until it’s stiff, and rub it all over your face and neck. Allow it to dry, then rinse away with water. Also, you can mix cornstarch and evaporated milk together to make a thick paste. Apply to your face and allow it to dry, then rinse away with cold water. n Fill a plastic bag with dryer lint and use it as padding for sending as package. n Out of croutons for a salad? Use popcorn. n What’s the right way to hard-boil an egg? Don’t use fresh eggs. Add a dash of vinegar. Don’t continuously boil the water; if you turn off the heat, the yolks will remain yellow. Break off the head of a kitchen match and throw the stick part in the water. Slip a wooden spoon in the water so the eggs don’t bump into each other as they boil. Use a pushpin to prick a hole in the blunt end of the shell before boiling; the shell will separate from the egg better. Cook eggs in water that is one inch over the eggs. n Use one tablespoon of vinegar to a bucket of warm water to get marks, insects or stains from glass. Wait for a cloudy day to wash “sunny” windows, otherwise the sun will cause the glass to dry too quickly and leave streaks. n When packing for a trip, put socks and underwear in plastic bags, then put them inside your shoes. Put shoes in old clean socks before packing them, to make sure your other clothes don’t smell like feet. n The fittest city in America is Salt Lake City. The fattest is Miami. n People who get less than seven hours of sleep a night are three times more likely to get sick, while those who toss and turn are five times more likely, n Commercial chicken meat production has increased 436 percent since 1970.

Editorial
The Boy of Summer Hall-of-Famer Sandberg has made it a memorable season at Smokies Stadium If the Tennessee Smokies do not wind up making it into the Southern League playoffs — and making the playoffs remained a strong possibility heading into their final series of the season — it still has been a memorable summer for the local Double A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs — principally because of one man. Ryne Sandberg. When the term Hall-of-Famer is placed in front of a baseball player’s name, it sets him aside from the rankand-file. He becomes a lifetime celebrity, the value of his autograph and bubblegum cards increases exponentially, he is a welcome addition at any memorabilia show. Normally, the appearance of a baseball Hall-of-Famer is cause for celebration at any minor league park. At Smokies Park this summer, it happened every time the team played at home — Sandberg was the manager. Sandberg, who turns 50 later this month, has made no secret of his desire to someday manage his beloved Chicago Cubs, the team for which
he played all but one of his 16 major league seasons. But when the job came open a few years ago and Sandberg made known his interest, the Cubs went for the more experienced and widely respected Lou Piniella. To show his interest was genuine, Sandberg accepted the only minor league job open in the organization, at Class A Peoria, Ill. After two seasons there, he was promoted to Tennessee, only two steps from the big leagues. Whether Sandberg is the annointed successor to Piniella, who has one year left on his contract, remains to be seen — and besides, the Cubs are in the process of being sold. For this season, Sandberg has been the face of the Smokies. The franchise — which is not owned by the parent club — has used his likeness in newspaper advertisements and billboards across eastern Tennessee. On any given night, there are numerous Cubs jerseys bearing the number 23 on the back. That’s likely the case across the Southern League. Reputed to be very serious and busi-
ness-like in his managerial and coaching duties (which includes very un-Hallof-Famish roles hitting fungoes and pitching batting practice), Sandberg has been very generous with his time signing autographs, and at no charge. With his baseball pedigree, Sandberg surely could have caught on at the big-league level with some club as either a hitting coach or infield instructor. He could have been flying first class and enjoying all the amenities of life in The Show rather than suffering those interminable bus rides to such outposts as Mobile, Ala., Pearl, Miss., and Jacksonville, Fla., and eating at fast-food restaurants along the interstates. Rare are the instances in which a minor league manager stays in the same city for more than two seasons. Selfishly, the fans and the franchise would love to have Sandberg back in 2010. Conversely, Sandberg would probably like to move on up the ladder. Regardless of how the scenario plays out, it’s been a rare privilege. Thanks, Ryno.

Avowed communist shouldn’t be working in White House
Editor: Several sources have stated that the FBI was responsible for vetting the czar choices of President Obama. If that is the case, an avowed communist like Van Jones, the green czar, was given approval to our United States White House. The FBI should now be called the Federal Bureau of Incompetence.

Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin looks on during their game against Western Kentucky Saturday, Sept. 5, in Knoxville. The Volunteers won 63-7.
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin’s tenure on Rocky Top is off to a smooth start. Jonathan Crompton threw five touchdown passes Saturday, leading the Volunteers to a 63-7 rout of Football Bowl Subdivision newcomers Western Kentucky and their largest margin of victory in nine years. “This is the way that we expect to play,” Kiffin said. “We have high expectations here. I just talked to them about understanding that was one game and it’s over. We’ve got to find a way to play better next week.” In its first two drives, Tennessee looked as if it hadn’t learned much under Kiffin, the youngest active coach in the division. Crompton threw a pass over the middle that was easily tipped by Thomas Majors and intercepted by Jamal Forrest, and Montario Hardesty fumbled after a hard hit. The Vols settled down after the first quarter, and Hardesty carried for 18 and 22 yards to help set up a 2-yard touchdown run by freshman Bryce Brown early in the second quarter. Bobby Rainey fumbled on the Hilltoppers’ next play, and LaMarcus Thompson recovered for Tennessee. Crompton connected with Luke Stocker on his

COMMENTARY AND OPINION
As a new era begins in Vol football, something’s missing for me How odd it must have looked to anyone near me in the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, that a grown man would be crying at the sound of Rocky Top. Like many in the Sevier County area, I grew up on Tennessee football. My first real memories of the Orange and White were forged on Jan. 1, 1986. Just 7-years-old and likely playing with toys I’d received on Christmas a week before, I heard a noise unlike any other coming from our family’s living room.
Running out from my bedroom to see what was causing the commotion, I spied my father, on his feet, yelling at the television “go, go, go!” It was Jeff Powell, head bobbing, sprinting down the sidelines 60 yards to give the Volunteers a 28-7 lead against
the heralded Miami Hurricanes in the Sugar Bowl. My toys lost some of their luster that day as I was introduced to the power of football, specifically the brand played at ShieldsWatkins Field. The first game I remember watching in person with my dad at Neyland Stadium was the rainy 1989 game against Auburn — the birth of the Cobb-Webb combination of backs Reggie Cobb and Chuck Webb. Through the years my father, David, and I went to many more
Tennessee games, enjoying the likes of Heath Shuler, James Stewart, Peyton Manning and Al Wilson along the way. The last game we attended was in 2003, but for the life of me I can’t remember who the Vols played. What happened after the game erased those memories. Following the win, while walking up Cumberland Avenue, my father complained of extreme fatigue. Figuring he was just getting older, we pressed on. Once we topped the hill, only moments from our car, he col-
lapsed. Sweating profusely, but icecold to the touch, he was incoherent. An off-duty nurse who had also attended the game happened to be passing by and called for help. Ten minutes later we were en route to Baptist Hospital, my father’s vital signs waning. Fortunately, Dad pulled through. A year later a heart cath showed blockages and five bypasses followed.

Tennessee’s defense looked every bit the stalwart it was in 2008, while the offense found the composure it was missing in last year’s 5-7 season. Running backs broke through the line of scrimmage, wide receivers ran sound routes and Crompton threw accurately. “We really just tried to get our personality as a team on film. We wanted to be physical but smart. The game we just played is part of our resume, and we want to build that resume and send it out to our opponents,” Vols safety Eric Berry said. The receiving corps hardly looked depleted by injuries, with Stocker, Marsalis Teague, Quintin Hancock and Brandon Warren each catching scoring strikes. Crompton, who was pulled with 12:26 left in the game, finished 21 of 28 with two picks, and his five TD passes was one more than his output last season. Hardesty finished with 160 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, and Brown had 104 yards rushing and a touchdown on 11 attempts. The Hilltoppers couldn’t capitalize on the early turn-
overs and had minus-21 yards after their first 19 plays. Tennessee finished with 657 yards compared to Western Kentucky’s 83. Rainey had the Hilltoppers’ only score on a 19-yard run with 2:41 in the third quarter that made it 35-7. The win was the Vols’ easiest since a 70-3 victory over Louisiana-Monroe in 2000. Their 380 yards rushing were the most since 2004. The Vols were also joined by former Vols and current Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who before the game announced a $1 million gift for a new athletic training center. Though the attendance in the 100,011-capacity Neyland Stadium only reached 98,761, the fans turned out in droves as Kiffin and the Vols made the traditional “Vol Walk” from their buses to the stadium before the game. “I really had to make sure that I did not go up and down today, because that’s what I talked about with our team a long time last night — dealing with the emotions of a wonderful scene like the Vol Walk, a wonderful event like running Jason Davis/The Mountain Press through the ’T’ and playing Tennessee senior quarterback Jonathan Crompton, here calling out a play to teammates, looked in front of 100,000 people,” the part of field general on Saturday, as he completed a career-high five touchdown passes — one Kiffin said. more than he had in the 2008 season.
SPORTS ROUNDUP Bearettes out volley Cocke County
The Sevier County Bearettes volleyball team picked up a coveted IMAC conference win Thursday in an in-school match with Cocke County. The Purple won the first game by a wide margin, 25-8, but then dropped the second, 25-23. Fortunately for the SCHS faithful, the Bearettes 25-22 and 25-21. Haley Tackett and Kaycee Dixon had standout performances for Sevier County. Tackett had 25 serves, 14 points, 29 attacks, 13 kills, two blocks, 16 digs, and one assist, while Dixon compiled 13 serves, seven points, 14 attacks, nine kills, three blocks, two digs, and 19 assists. The win impoved SCHS to 3-1 in district play and 6-7 overall.

In the years after, Dad and I regularly watched the games together on television, and talked at length during the weeks between about strategies, players and recruiting. But we never went back to a game. July 3rd of this year, just one month after the birth of his first grandson — my son, Rogan — my father died unexpectedly in his sleep. He’d been suffering through kidney failure and dialysis for nearly a year, brought on by a rare disorder called Goodpasture’s syndrome, but he’d improved dramatically in the months leading up to his death.
Saturday, as I stood outside the stadium pregame watching the band approach playing Dad’s beloved “Rocky Top,” I noticed a stream of tears running down my face. But it wasn’t Rocky Top that tweaked my emotions, it was the thought that those long conversations with my dad, discussing the Vols’ comings and goings were over. There would never be another “just wait ‘til next year” for us. But as I left the game in the fourth quarter with Tennessee up 63-7, I realized Dad would be smiling thinking of his 3-monthold grandson at home in his Orange, and the Vols ahead on the scoreboard.

for 77 yards. Cox was 15 for 30 for 162 yards with one interception, but the Georgia offense — a group looking for new stars after the early departures of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno — slowed to a halt after his 4-yard TD pass to Michael Moore on the game’s opening drive. The Bulldogs’ first season opener outside the southeast in 51 years was set up as a grand reopening of Oklahoma State’s stadium after a $286 million renovation. It ended up as the most anticipated home opener in OSU history as the Cowboys returned most of their stars from last year’s breakout 9-4 season. A record crowd of 53,012 turned out as billionaire donor T. Boone Pickens rededicated the stadium. Career rushing-leader Thurman Thomas made a cameo, too.

Manning to give $1 million to Volunteer athletics By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer
KNOXVILLE — Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley, will give $1 million to Tennessee for a new athletic training facility. The Indianapolis Colts and former Tennessee quarterback announced the gift Saturday during a dedication of the Volunteers’ locker room that bears his name.

Rolle’s pick saves No. 6 Buckeyes, 31-27 Midshipmen can’t make two-pointer to tie game at 29 By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Brian Rolle intercepted a potential two-point conversion in the closing minutes and returned it for two points the other way, helping No. 6 Ohio State hold off pesky Navy 31-27 on Saturday. A crowd of 105,092 — the largest ever to see the Buckeyes open a season — sat in stunned silence after the Midshipmen scored twice in just over 4 minutes to cut a 29-14 deficit to two points with 2:23 left in the game. Navy went for the tie, but Rolle stepped in front of Ricky Dobbs’ pass and rumbled up the sideline to preserve the win in the Midshipmen’s first trip to Ohio Stadium since 1931 — and keep the luster on next week’s showdown between the Buckeyes and No. 4 Southern Cal. Terrelle Pryor was 14 of 21 for 174 yards, and ran for a touchdown and passed for another to help Ohio State build its lead early in the fourth quarter. The Midshipmen came
in as three-touchdown underdogs. The Buckeyes came in considered contenders to play for a national championship. As it was, they barely got by Navy. Dobbs, who completed 9 of 13 passes for 156 yards and two scores, rolled left and hit Marcus Curry on a 16-yard scoring pass with 1:24 left in the third quarter to cut Ohio State’s lead to 20-14. The Buckeyes countered with two quick scores. Aaron Pettrey, who kicked three field goals, made a 52-yarder early in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, Dobbs completed a pass in the right flat to Mario Washington that Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman ripped out of his arms. Linebacker Ross Homan fell on the ball at the Navy 30, and Pryor pitched the ball three plays later to Dan Herron on the option and he bounced in off left
tackle on a 6-yard scoring run to put the Buckeyes up 29-14. It stayed that way when Pettrey’s extra-point try clanged off upright. Navy turned it over again on its next possession, but then turned the game around with a defensive stand. The Buckeyes disdained the field goal and went for it on fourth and 2 at their own 15 with 6:30 left, but linebacker Tyler Simmons surged forward to stop Herron for no gain. On the next snap, Dobbs lofted a perfect spiral over the middle to Curry, who had a step on safety Anderson Russell. Curry then outran Russell and Andre Amos to the end zone, completing the third-longest pass play in Navy history. The 85-yard score narrowed the lead to 29-21. Pryor then overthrew a receiver and Navy safety Emmett Merchant inter-

cepted and returned it 28 yards to the Ohio State 33 with just under 4 minutes left. Dobbs ran for 4 yards, then passed for 5. On third and 1 at the 24, he faked a handoff and sprinted straight up the middle for the touchdown. The gasp from the partisan crowd was audible. Navy called timeout to set up for the possible tying two-point try. Dobbs then took the snap and dropped back, passing over the middle. Rolle was the only player close and the junior thundered up the Navy sideline 99 yards for the two points. After getting the onside kick, the Buckeyes finally ran out the clock.

million, 132,000-squarefoot training facility in November. The training facilities were top-notch when Manning arrived on the Knoxville campus in 1994. Since then other schools have improved their facilities, and Manning said he thought the renovations would be key to staying competitive in recruiting. “Peyton Manning represents everything that’s right about the student-athlete process,” Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said. After leading Tennessee to two Southeastern Conference championships, Manning was a No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. He has twice been named the NFL’s MVP. Manning was on campus Saturday for the Vols’ opener against Western Kentucky, a 63-7 rout for new coach Lane Kiffin.

Scientists, kids, try to save ladybugs By MARY ESCH Associated Press Writer ITHACA, N.Y. — A year after they launched a nationwide search for dwindling native ladybugs, New York researchers are breeding colonies of them from insects found by citizen scientists in Oregon and Colorado. John Losey, an entomologist at Cornell University, launched the Lost Ladybug Project last year to try to figure out why once-common native ladybug species had all but disappeared across the country. The project, funded by the National Science Foundation, recruits citizen scientists — especially children — to search for ladybugs and send photos of them to Losey and his colleagues. Of particular interest are the nine-spotted, two-spotted and transverse ladybugs, three native species that have declined dramatically in the last decade, possibly because of the release of non-native species to control crop pests. “Between 1999 and last year when we started the program, less than 10 individuals of the ninespot were collected anywhere in the country,” Losey said. “That used to be the most dominant species across the U.S. and Canada.” Hundreds of participants across the U.S. and Canada have sent in thousands of photos since the project launched. While some of the photos were of native species, most of the pictures showed the multicolored Asian ladybug and the European seven-spotted ladybug, which were introduced for agricultural pest control and have become widespread as the dominant species. The big breakthrough came in June, when 6-year-old Alyson Yates and her mom, Kate, started sending in photos of nine-spotted ladybugs from their rural backyard in Lakeview, Ore., in the sagebrush desert east of the Cascades. “It was really an amazing find,” Losey said. “Usually, someone just finds one or two. Alyson and Kate sent in a couple one day, a few more three days later, a couple more a few days after that. It became apparent they had a population out there.” So Losey and a colleague boarded a plane with their collecting nets and came back to Ithaca with 13 nine-spotted and more than 30 transverse ladybugs. “Aly was thrilled that people would come all the way from New York to go collecting in our yard,” said Kate Yates, who got involved in the project when her daughter saw an ad in the National Wildlife Federation’s Ranger Rick magazine for children. “She just had a wonderful time looking for ladybugs, and we were ecstatic when we found some of the nine-

Searching for ladybugs was a lot like looking for seashells on the beach, said Beaverson, who works for the Illinois State Geological Survey. “At first you look at every single one; later on you start looking for something rare or something special.” Since they arrived at Cornell, the beetles have been busily reproducing inside gossamer net cages lined up in Losey’s lab, gorging on juicy green pea aphids raised for them on fava bean plants in the university’s greenhouse. Losey plans to conduct a number of studies with the captive populations in hopes of learning why they declined in the wild. “The leading theory is that the decline had something to do with ladybugs that were imported,” Losey said. “That’s mostly based on the timing of the decline, which coincides with the introduction of the seven-spot.” “It does do a lot of good in pest control,” Losey said. “The question is whether it just replaced the existing ladybugs or added to the diversity.” The Asian multicolored ladybug, which was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the 1970s and ’80s to control scale insects on trees, didn’t become widely established until after the natives declined, Losey said. The round Asian beetle is famous for swarming by the thousands on homes on warm autumn days. “Some of the things we’ll look at are, do the native species take longer to develop than the imported ones? Do they not eat as much? Are they more susceptible to para-
sitoids or pathogens? Did they interbreed and take on the appearance of the seven-spot?” Losey said. Pest management based on natural predators requires knowledge of the life cycle and feeding habits of the predators. “The different ladybug species forage different
parts of the plant, different parts of the field, at different times of day, and seek different prey,” Losey said. “If you want the most effective suppression of pests, you need a whole variety of ladybugs because then they work together and cover different parts of the environment.” Ladybugs eat a wide range of plant-damaging pests, including aphids, mealybugs, scale, and the eggs and young larvae of European corn borers and eastern tent caterpillars. At some point, field studies will be conducted with the ladybugs being bred in Losey’s lab. But it’s not a captive breeding program aimed at reestablishing the natives in the wild, he said. “It could evolve into one, but for now, we’re just trying to determine Associated Press why they declined and A nine-spotted ladybug is shown in a lab at what the implications Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. are.”

Surviving ‘mean girls’ gets easier with experience As an education reporter, I have gotten an inside look into the beginning of the school year. I have talked to several students, and I envy their anticipation and excitement of what the year will bring. It’s a special time, being young and not having to worry about jobs, paying bills and other adult responsibilities. I’ll admit it: I was one of those kids who loved school. I loved the good times and secrets shared between friends, the agonizing yet wonderful feeling of a crush, the nervewracking first date. There are also experiences I wish I could have bypassed, mainly my encounters with “mean girls.” It can be quite bewildering and frustrating when someone decides not to like you for no good reason — this is the No. 1 trait of a mean girl. They tend to be more powerful in groups, but one mean girl can inflict just as much meanness (and sometimes more) than 10. Their bullying is different from that of mean boys; these girls usually don’t attack physically but emotionally, and because they have the same insecurities you have, they know how to get you where it hurts the most. Every woman has either been the target of a mean girl or been one herself. My first encounter was in high school with a mean girl who was a little older than me. She seemed well-liked by pretty much everyone, but I had heard of a few girls talk about how catty she could be. I got to know her because we were both involved in one particular after-school activity. She started out being reasonably nice, then began making snide remarks about me behind my back. When I finally confronted her in front of our whole group, she was defensive, but she backed down after that. This woman still lives in my hometown and we have several mutual friends. She could have changed — high school seems like a million years ago for me — but I will always see her as my first mean girl. The second encounter was in college and was even more confusing because this particular mean girl had started out as a friend of mine. Everything was peachy the first year of our relationship, and then her behavior towards me changed. She would ignore me around our other friends and refuse to talk about what her problem was with me. This went on for most of the school year, until she magically softened towards me before we went home for the summer. And no, she never told me why she had acted the way she did. We remained friendly throughout the rest of college, but I always thought of her as crazy with some serious issues. Sorry to break this to my younger counterparts who have not yet entered “the real world,” but most of these mean girls grow up to be mean women. Although they have long left junior high behind and now have a college degree, they have yet to truly grow up and learn how to play nice. Most of my experiences with mean women have happened in the workplace (although all the women I work with now are good friends). I remember how amazed I was, as a 23-yearold in my first job, to learn women who could be my mother or grandmother acted so petty. Just a few years ago, I had a co-worker who was sweet-as-pie to my face, only to bash me to other co-workers when I wasn’t around. It was like I was after her husband or had killed her dog. What was her problem? I’ll never know and frankly, I don’t care. It’s true that your skin gets a little thicker after dealing with these meanies throughout the years, but my heart goes out to the young girls who are experiencing it for the first time. I’m also fearful for them: There’s a new crop of mean girls who seem to be even more vicious than the ones I encountered, A group of Florida teenage girls actually videotaped themselves beating up a female classmate last year. Rosalind Wiseman, whose book “Queen Bees and Wannabees” inspired the hit movie “Mean Girls,” has just updated the book to include chapters on younger girls and insights on how technology has come into play with kids’ social landscapes. Susan Fee, a counselor specializing in girls health and wellness, offered these tips to parents on eHow. com on how to help their daughters deal with mean girls: 1. Avoid minimizing. Responding with empty platitudes like “Just ignore them” minimizes her experience, making her feel you don’t understand. 2. Coach, don’t solve. Ask her what she wants to do about the situation, then coach her through steps she may need to take and let her act on them. 3. Role play. If your daughter decides she wants to solve the problem by talking to the other girl, help her become more confident by role playing what might happen. Remind her that any conversation needs to be face-to-face and held privately in order to be effective. 4. Encourage personal interests. Girls who define themselves by their friends fall the hardest if the relationship falters. Help girls build a safety net of resiliency by encourage them to explore hobbies and interests apart from their friends. 5. Teach social skills. If your daughter tries (and fails) to solve conflicts by texting, it’s because she has not learned another way. Eye contact, posture, tone of voice, listening skills and word choice are all examples of positive social skills girls need to be taught. As for my own advice to these young girls, keep your head up, be strong and always remember you are special. — Ellen Brown is a staff reporter for The Mountain Press.

A glorious adventure Couple’s second business a labor of love By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor COSBY — It’s purely a labor of love. There’s no drive to make a hefty profit. As long as they break even they’re happy. The reward comes from sharing their bounty with family and friends, providing their neighbors with fruit for their families and relishing a sip of wine from grapes harvested from their own vines. G. and Vickie Webb started a vineyard at their “hideout” in 2001. Morning Glory Farm and Vineyards on Rocky Flats Road got its name from G’s love of the flower of the same name and the fact that the farm looks glorious in the mornings, he said. The vineyard, Vickie joked, came as part of a midlife crisis. G. Webb gave more of the credit to the landscape and its aesthetic appeal. “I have always thought a vineyard is beautiful,” said the local artist who provides the artwork for their labels. “And as a painter, a vineyard is art itself; the straight lines.” When they purchased the property, G. Webb said he thought, ‘You know, this would be a perfect place for a vineyard.’ The property naturally lent itself to a vineyard, he said, with gentlysloping hills perfect for the drainage grape vines need. The stone walls made from river rock that mark the property’s boundaries and a view of Mount Guyot help complete the scenic landscape. After having the soil tested, the Webbs put in 550 plants, with concord, mars, niagra and chardonnay making up several of the varieties. The vineyard became a family project, with G. and Vickie’s daughter Cami Monet and other family members helping plant, prune and pick the grapes. “She likes watching the grapes grow,” Vickie Webb said of her daughter, a student at the University of Tennessee. “My migrant workers are my friends,” she added, pointing to pictures of family and friends recruited to help with the harvest. Like with all agriculture adventures, the success of a crop all depends on the weather. Grapes, G. Webb said, prefer dry weather. “This was not a good year for grapes,” he said of the wet weather that dominated the area this growing season. For some reason, the leaves from the chardonnay grapes dropped from the vines. Then there’s the constant battle with birds, raccoons and the occasional fox that like to snack on the fruit. The growing season starts in February and March when it’s time to prune the vines. Next comes attaching the vines to trellis to provide support. Then they keep a constant watch out to protect the fruit and allow it to grow to harvest, checking the vines daily. It’s

not a crop you can plant and then go back a few months later to see the progress, G. Webb said. “If you do that you won’t have anything.” The first year or so of harvest — they had to wait two years after their initial planting to harvest the first grapes — the Webbs would have the grapes pH level tested to see if they were ready for harvest. Now they know when it’s time. “I have my own method for testing,” G. Webb said. “When the crows show up,” it’s time to harvest. “The bees, birds and crows,” Vickie added. But they do have ways to combat the critters looking for a free meal. Netting goes over the vines, though some sneaky birds somehow find their way in. Tin pie plates are another detractor, and cigar smoke keeps the bees away. “He’s smoking a cigar to fight the bees,” Vickie Webb said of a picture of a friend helping with the harvest and holding a cigar. “I almost fired one up,”

They offer most of their grapes and other fruits for sale in the “Pigvillion.” You can also find jars of jams and jellies, including moonshine jelly made with a bit of the liquor for which the Rocky Flats area is known. “We thought about doing a u-pick-em with our blueberries, but we ate them all,” Vickie Webb said. They also have small plots of raspberries and even even a lemon tree. The chardonnay grapes are sent to a local winery to be made into white wine. Mountain Valley
Winery, Vickie Webb said, is preparing to bottle Guyot Gold from Morning Glory Farms. “It’s so pretty,” she said of the gold color. “And it was very good.” You can ask for a sample tasting of it at the winery, she said. At the end of the day, the Webbs relax in their “shack,” a two-room cabin whose only real luxury is the whirlpool tub on which Vickie insisted. “It’s not going to be a money-making project,” she said of the farm. “But we get a lot of selfsatisfaction when we get a bottle of wine with our label on it.”

Pittman Center fire department in search of more volunteers From Submitted Reports PITTMAN CENTER — What do the Pittman Center Volunteer Fire Department and the Marine Corps have in common? They are both looking for “a few good men (and women)� to join their ranks. With membership down to about a dozen members, Pittman Center Fire Chief Jeff Nichols says his department needs volunteers so it can continue to provide a full range of services to the community. “We had been providing first responder services in addition to firefighting, but due to a lack of members, especially emergency medical technicians, we had to suspend that in January,� he said. “We still run on cardiac arrests and motor vehicle acci-
dents and we set up the landing zone for Lifestar at the Bent Creek Golf Course.� The department started with 20 members, and has grown at times to as many as 30, the maximum allowed by department bylaws. Those bylaws have recently been rewritten to allow as many as 50. Nichols says he knows his department is not the only one facing manpower shortages. “Every volunteer department in the county is dealing with this issue,� said Nichols. “We’re better off than some, worse off than others.� Would-be volunteers submit an application and are required to undergo a drug test and FBI background check. They also
have to live within the department’s coverage area or within a 10-minute drive. Applicants attend three of the department’s weekly meetings, after which their membership is voted on by members. If accepted, the new volunteer serves a six-month probation period, followed by a member vote for full membership. A 16 hour beginners course teaches the new firefighter the basics. Ongoing training sessions are provided by the department. “We provide all equipment and training,� said Nichols. “After you achieve certification for State Firefighter 1, we’ll pay to get your EMS training.�

Dinner’s in the Smithsonian Well, this past week I was looking down into the holler toward Webb’s Creek thinking about the only food item on my grocery list that is also on display in the Smithsonian Institute. In fact, it is the only dinner entree I know that has its very own museum in a 16,000-square-foot converted Kmart building in Austin, Minn. There is no entrance fee. Nikita Khruschev, Margaret Thatcher and President Eisenhower all offered high praise for the tasty treat and it is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. An entire family of six can be fed for about $3. I’m talking about the most famous canned meat on this planet; Spam. Spam was invented in 1937 when the friendly hog butchers at Hormel Foods noticed they were not selling certain leftover hog parts. Someone came up with a fantastic idea. “Hey, why don’t we grind all of that up, put it in little tin cans and sell it?� They had a contest to name the brand new meat product and the winner won $100 (which was probably the equivalent of a million dollars back then). Shoulder of Pork and Ham — Spam. It actually took quite a bit of trial and error to achieve Spam perfection. After extensive research it was discovered if they gathered up the raw meat and then stuffed it in vacuum packed tin cans they were on the road to Spam heaven. The raw groundup parts are cooked in a six-story oven after it is sealed and loaded into the can. The giant cooker holds 66,000 cans of Spam in each cooking cycle. Spam was a basic food item for troops in World War II, and world leaders praised the canned commodity. At one point 15 million cans were being sent each week to fuel the

SEVIERVILLE — The Sevier County Health Department will offer seasonal flu vaccine on Sept. 21 from 12:30-4 p.m. and on Sept. 22 from 8:1511:30 a.m. at the department, 227 Cedar St. The cost of the flu shot is $25. The Health Department will bill Medicare and other third party payors as appropriate. Seasonal flu is a preventable illness that can be serious and even deadly. Each year 5 percent to 20 percent of the country’s population get seasonal flu. Nationwide, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year with complications from seasonal flu and more
than 36,000 die from the illness. In Tennessee, an estimated 700 people die from seasonal flu each year. The vaccine is particularly recommended for the elderly, young children and people with certain health conditions. The department will also offer H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine when it becomes available. This vaccine is now being tested. The seasonal flu vaccine available now is not effective against the H1N1 virus. The health department encourages everyone to get both types of flu vaccine. To make an appointment for vaccination or ask questions about flu vaccine, call the Sevier County Health Department at 453-1032.

It’s an honor to be asked to pray for other people By ALTA RAPER Have you ever answered the phone only to hear the voice of a friend calling to say you have been on their mind all week and they have been praying for you? That happened to me the other afternoon. And it was humbling. My heart and soul were flooded with so many feelings, it was hard to distinguish them all as they ran together like raindrops into a rushing stream. The call was from someone who has much difficulty in her own life, but she cared enough to call me and say, “I’m praying for you.” What an unselfish act. To think of others when you could be wallowing in your own selfpity, reveals a Christian heart filled to overflowing with His love. I am constantly amazed how God can break your heart and use you to do His work; gladly, willingly, unselfishly, honestly and without expecting a reward. It is wonderful to be a giver as well as a recipient of that kind of love. When I joined several folks for lunch earlier that same day, I was met with a request for prayer and to do it immediately. The sister of the overseer of the lunchroom was seriously ill. As we bowed our heads and wrapped our arms around each other, we felt God’s presence and we knew he heard our prayers poured forth from
the heart. We prayed for her burned body, for her leg which had to be amputated halfway up, her extreme injuries, and the fact that the doctors felt they must send her home because her “allotted time” in the hospital had expired. We admitted to God that we didn’t know the answers or even what to pray for except for her comfort, healing, understanding and peace for the family. We ended our prayer with “Thy will be done.” What a peace He brings when we leave it in God’s hands. It is an honor to be called upon to pray for others. We, as children of God and brothers and sisters in Christ, should have deep compassion for each other. Most situations brought to us are things we can easily relate. God allows us to experience many things in our own life and we are to use the lessons we learn to help others. Even if it means helping someone accept what appears to be imminent death which we as preachers are often called upon to do. We can be thankful that God alone knows the time and place to draw the final curtain. “… pray for each other so that you might be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16 NIV My prayer for someone else was not in expecta-
tion of anything good being returned to me, yet I rejoiced as God did return it in that unexpected phone call and prayers from a fellow pastor, someone I would not have thought of and had not seen since Annual Conference — and it meant that much more. The generosity of our hearts as well as the generosity of our finances is never overlooked by our Creator. We should do nothing expecting it to benefit ourselves but do it out of love for God and our neighbor. Every tithe and every offering given from the heart is known by Him (who is the only one that really matters folks — remember that). He is the one who knows our deepest stirrings. He is not fooled. He alone holds the key to eternal life. It is up to us to allow Him to place the key in the lock of our heart and let him enter every chamber of our being. Expect God to do the unexpected when you follow His leading. “… ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:40 NIV — Alta Raper is pastor of Pittman Center Circuit of the United Methodist Church: Burnett Memorial UMC in Pittman Center, Webb’s Creek UMC just off 321 in Gatlinburg, and Shults Grove UMC in Cosby.
re l i g i o n b r i e f s Atheists approve of God references
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — An atheist group that won a recent court victory to have a reference to “Almighty God” stricken from Kentucky’s homeland security law doesn’t contemplate legal challenges against more than 30 other divine mentions in state documents. Edwin Kagin, national legal director for American Atheists Inc., said the group will mount challenges only in cases it believes it can clearly win. The latest Kentucky case, he said, is one of those, though its final disposition could ultimately be decided by an appeals court.
Muslim packing workers face bias
DENVER (AP) — Federal officials says the JBS Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in the northern Colorado city of Greeley was wrong to fire more than 100 Muslim workers who walked out during Ramadan last year in a dispute over prayer breaks.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said that Swift failed to provide religious accommodations to workers and retaliated against those who complained.
Filing: Teacher improperly sued
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A science teacher accused of burning a cross on a student’s arm improperly sued a school board’s lawyer as a way to disrupt the educator’s firing, a court document alleged. In a federal court document, Cleveland attorney David Millstone said he
Because God is absolute truth… I will believe what He says and live accordingly Will the real Jesus please stand up! There was a little boy who while saying his bed time prayers to wrap up the day asked his father the following question, “Daddy, which one is the real Jesus?” to which his dad quizzically returned with his own question, “Son what do you mean?” Well daddy there’s the Jesus we have hanging on the wall in my Sunday school class, then there’s the picture I’ve seen in the hallway of the church, and there is also the one I saw on the movie you and mom were watching the other night. Of all those Jesus’ I was just wondering which one is the real one? Like that child, so many of us have an idea of who we think Jesus is that we rarely stop and listen to who Jesus says that he is! Have you ever read the conversation between Jesus and His disciple just prior to His crucifixion? Jesus says… John 14:1”Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” It seems as though we live in a time where each of us has our own idea of who Jesus is; a good teacher, a good model to live by, a philosopher, and some even think he was just a “Super Angel” come to earth! But Jesus was never mysterious about who He is. In fact it was His honesty regarding His persona that got Him killed. Jesus wasn’t killed for being a good teacher, nor a philosopher of His time, and he certainly wasn’t killed because He claimed to be a “Super Angel”, no Jesus was killed for telling the truth about Himself being the exclusive truth, God. When Jesus declares to His disciple’s the worthiness of believing in God, and then compares belieif in Him of equal comfort and worth, Jesus declares Himself to be God! Then He punctuates this truth with a response to Thomas of “I am the truth”, Jesus does not say that He is a truth, nor a version of the truth, but He clearly states that He is “the Truth”! You see Jesus is absolute and that is the truth. We have two options when it comes to Jesus. One, we can deny the truth and make up our own truths (note the plurality), based on our own opinions, morals, and clouded experiences. Then do our best to make the god of our own images work for us. Or, two, we can believe and submit to the truth and live under His authority and commands. So that when Jesus says love, we must love. When He says forgive we must forgive. When He commands us to believe, we must believe, and when He says go, we must go. The Bible is full of commands and promises that are the truth that we need not fall to our own imaginations to make life work, nor to any so called gurus to give us their version of deluded truth. No, God is clear to us that He and He alone is the absolute truth and all we need do is believe what He says and live accordingly. And look what you get from this trust of the truth, Jesus says peace! Comfort! Love! Joy! Fellowship with Him the Father and Spirit! You get abundant life, and that’s the Absolute truth…Till next week, Pastor Brad

Annual church pig roast to feature pow-wow this year From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — A Native American pow-wow at St. Joseph the Carpenter Episcopal Church will be the main attraction at the church’s annual pig roast. “We’re bringing something new and different to the community,” said cochair Marilynn Spence, “something they are going to thoroughly enjoy.” Representatives of five or six Native American tribes in traditional costumes will compete in dancing, drumming and storytelling at the pow-wow, said Spence. Some of the contests will be judged, she said. Also, spectators will have the opportunity to learn Native American dance. Vendors will sell Native American craft items. “All the vendors have children’s items also,” Spence said. The pow-wow and pig roast will be held Oct. 23 and 24 on the church grounds on Hardin Lane — the first time the event has taken up two days. The popular Fabulous Friday lunch, which pro-
vides box lunches to businesses around town, is set for Oct. 23. For over a decade, members of St. Joseph’s congregation have smoked vast quantities of barbecued pork that provide the mainstay of the lunches. Last year, 900 pounds of pork were sold and 100 pounds were donated to Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries for distribution to the needy. “This year we’re looking to do the same,” with the addition of 200 to 300 pounds in special orders of smoked shoulders, said event cochair Coby Harper. The Fabulous Friday box lunches, including pork barbecue, coleslaw, chips and a cookie, will be available for employees of local businesses to have delivered or to be picked up from Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic on Prince Street. Orders are taken in advance. That same day and the next, a full pork meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. under the big tent on the church grounds. The menu includes a quarter-pound sandwich, coleslaw, beans,
chips and a drink. There is no admission charge to the pig roast, but a fee will be charged to enter the pow-wow, Spence said. Those funds will defray the expenses of the Native American participants. Funds raised by the pig roast itself and Fabulous Friday lunch “benefit a number of good local causes,” Harper said. Last year, the church donated a portion of the proceeds to five local charities. Information on tickets, pricing and placing orders for Fabulous Friday lunch and for smoked shoulders will be published at a later date. Pig roast tickets will be available from St. Joseph’s members or at the gate.

Eagle Scout project
Submitted
Alan Walbolt, a member of Boy Scout Troop 111 in Gatlinburg, with Rhonda Morris, director of the Boys & Girls Club of Gatlinburg, as he puts the finishing touches on his Eagle Project. Alan landscaped the right front of the club building for his project. He saw a need to make a foot path and landscape the area for those who visit the facility.
‘I Love Sevierville’ luncheon set for Sept. 25 From Submitted Reports The 27th annual “I Love Sevierville” luncheon, sponsored by Sevierville Sunrise Rotary and Sevierville Downtown Association, is scheduled for Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the lawn of the courthouse. Local entertainers will perform. County Mayor Larry Waters and Sevierville Mayor Bryan Atchley will welcome the crowd in addi-
tion to representatives from Sevierville Sunrise Rotary and the Downtown Association. County Ritz Restaurant will furnish the box lunch containing a turkey or ham sandwich, chips, pickles, cookie and tea. The $8 lunch tickets must be purchased in advance. They are available downtown at 20/20 Optical or Sevier County Bank. Tickets may also be purchased at the Sevier County
Extension Office near the fairgrounds; Mountain National Bank locations in Sevierville and Pigeon Forge; or from any Sunrise Rotarian or Sevierville association member. The “I Love Sevierville” luncheon began as a part of the Tennessee Apple Festival. The Sevierville Downtown Association picked up sponsorship. In 2003 the Sunrise Rotary Club joined the Downtown Association
in sponsoring this community event. Sunrise Rotary Club supports Smoky Mountain Children’s Home, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic, Sevier County Food Miniseries and Sevier County 4-H clubs. Other projects include providing Christmas baskets for needy families; hosting exchange students; providing scholarships for Sevier County High School seniors; leader-
ship programs for high school juniors; and continuing work on new soccer fields at Smoky Mountain Children’s Home. The Sevierville Downtown Association includes business owners and operators, property owners and other citizens dedicated to preserving, promoting and enhancing the historic and shopping district of Sevierville. Ticket sales close on
Sept. 18. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the third floor of the courthouse. For more information, call Chairman Glenn Turner at 453-3695.

Heating assistance grants are available From Submitted Reports SEVIERVILLE — The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) of Douglas-Cherokee Economic Authority is accepting applications from Sevier County residents for energy assistance. Applications, along with instruction sheets, are available at the Sevier County Neighborhood Service Center, 750 Old Knoxville Highway (fairgrounds). Only one application per household will be accepted. All eligible households must meet program income guidelines. All applications will be ranked by a point system and served until funds run out. It may not be possible to provide money to all that apply. All applicants must provide proof of all 2009 household income such as Social Security, SSI, VA, retirement, income interest from a savings account or, if employed, 13 weeks of check stubs. In addition each application must provide proof of each energy burden within the past 12 months, along with all household member names, dates of birth, and social security numbers. An approved application does not ensure that a household will receive assistance. For more information call the Neighborhood Center at 453-7131.
Customers can provide footwear for the needy From Submitted Reports For the third time in less than two years, Shoe Carnival is partnering with Soles4Souls Inc. to give away shoes to those in need. Through Sept. 29, customers of all 314 Shoe Carnival locations — including the one in Sevierville — can donate $1 at the register. Shoe Carnival hopes to raise at least $140,000 through the in-store program. All funds will be applied toward sending a new pair of shoes to victims of natural disasters or those living in extreme poverty, both in the U.S. and around the world. Additionally, Shoe Carnival and Soles4Souls will join forces to donate new shoes to charities in St. Louis, Memphis, Birmingham and Mobile. “Shoe Carnival is proud to continue our support of Soles4Souls,” said Todd Beurman, senior vice president of marketing. “Shoe Carnival has taken on our cause as their own, and we are extremely proud to partner with them to reach thousands of people who are suffering,” said Wayne Elsey, founder and CEO of Soles4Souls.
For more details on the partnership, visit www. giveshoes.org. Shoe Carnival is a chain of 314 footwear stores located in the Midwest, South and Southeast. Nashville-based Soles4Souls facilitates the donations of both new and used shoes, which are used to aid people worldwide. Soles4Souls has distributed more than five million pairs to people in over 125 countries, including Guatemala, Kenya, Nepal and the United States. Visit www.giveshoes.org for more information.
