McCarter admits to forgery

SEVIERVILLE — A once respected local realtor has not yet faced his day in court on charges of theft related to his business, but he has admitted in civil complaints to forging deeds to properties belonging to two parties, including his brother. Jacky McCarter still faces several charges of fraud and felony theft for what Sheriff Ron Seals

had already described as a fraud scheme. Those charges are still pending in circuit court. However, documents in chancery and circuit courts show McCarter admitted to defrauding his brother, Harold McCarter, and a former client, Joan Harrell Gassaway. Gassaway is one of the victims named in theft and forgery charges against Jacky McCarter; Harold McCarter is not. Harold McCarter sued his brother in Sevier County Chancery Court after learning that Jacky

McCarter had registered a fraudulent quit claim deed for property his brother owned, then used the property to secure a loan of about $200,000 from Tennessee State Bank, according to court documents. Jacky McCarter eventually admitted to forging the deed and relinquished it to his brother. The latest filing shows he now owes more than $200,000 to Tennessee State Bank. Gassaway’s complaint, which was moved to Sevier County Circuit

Court, was similar. She said that Jacky McCarter forged a quit claim deed for property she owned on Eledge Lane. Like the other case, McCarter allegedly used the deed to secure funds from Tennessee State Bank. Court documents show McCarter acknowledged he filed a forged document in that case as well, and Gassaway has regained the title to the property, but the court document shows Tennessee State Bank See McCarter, Page A5

SEYMOUR — It’s been seven months since U.S. Cellular awarded Seymour High School $100,000 in its “Calling All Communities” campaign — and now students, faculty and staff are enjoying the benefits. “The area we were most lacking in was technology for our classrooms,” said principal Greg Clark. “We used the money to buy multimedia projectors; mimio boards, a scaled-down version of SMART Board (an electronic, interactive whiteboard for teaching and learning); and calculators, all of which enhances instruction and should enhance learning. These were things that we had been doing before, but at a much slower pace because we didn’t have the money. Now we’ve been able to equip all of our classrooms to the same extent.” U.S. Cellular’s “Calling All Communities” campaign awarded $100,000 to the 10 schools in the country that received the most votes. Individuals 18 and older could go into any U.S. Cellular store to pick up See Rewards, Page A4

Members of Pigeon Forge’s Middle Creek United Methodist Church didn’t need to worry about the turnout for their Saturday yard sale — even the rainy weather couldn’t keep people away from

good deals. “When we were unloading our things this morning, there were already people here, looking in the boxes,” church member Candice Sarten said with a laugh. “We had some dedicated yard-salers!” The church welcomed the community to partici-

9/11 events go on in shadow of controversies NEW YORK (AP) — Family members of Sept. 11 victims recited loved ones’ names through tears on the ninth anniversary of the attacks Saturday, avoiding direct mention of the political furor centered two blocks from ground zero as demonstrations began over the mosque planned for the spot. After the ceremony, around 1,000 activists rallied about five blocks from the site of the 2001 attacks to support the proposed Islamic community center. Opponents also planned to rally in the afternoon, with the two groups expected to converge near the mosque site. Speaking at “hallowed ground” at the Pentagon, President Barack Obama alluded to the controversy over a mosque — and a Florida pastor’s threat,

later rescinded, to burn copies of the Muslim holy book. Obama made it clear that the U.S. is not at war with Islam and called the al-Qaida attackers “a sorry band of men” who perverted religion. “We will not give in to their hatred,” Obama said. “As Americans, we will not or ever be at war with Islam.” Family members gathering at observances in New York and Pennsylvania brought flowers, pictures of loved ones and American flags, but no signs of opposition or support for the mosque. Reading victims’ names along with architects and construction workers rebuilding at ground zero in New York, they urged a restrained tone. “Let today never, ever be a national holiday. Let it not be a celebration,”

day to reflect on all those thousands of people that died for us in the United States.” Toting signs saying, “The attack on Islam is racism” and “Tea Party Bigots funded by corporate $,” protesters gathered about an hour after the New York anniversary ceremony ended near City Hall and planned to march closer to ground zero. Elizabeth Meehan, a 51-year-old Christian from Saratoga, N.Y., rode in by bus from her home 180 miles away. “I’m really fearful of all of the hate that’s going on in our country. People in one brand of Christianity are coming out against other faiths, and I find that so sad,” she said. “Muslims are fellow Americans; they should have the right to worship in America just like anyone else.”

Parker taking advantage of opportunities at LeConte By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Ben Parker didn’t think he would ever leave Parkwest Medical Center, where he worked as manager of surgical services — until a position for critical care manager became available at LeConte Medical Center. “I’m excited about the opportunities here,” he said. “I’ve worked in huge hospitals, but I love the environment of a small hospital. Also, the valley is beautiful.” It seemed Parker was destined for the medical Parker field — in high school, he received straight A’s in biology and chemistry and enjoyed learning the subjects. But he actually ended up joining the U.S. Army and then working in restaurant management. It was a conversation with a waiter he had one day that led him back to medicine. “He was studying for medical classes on his break. I told him I had always

wanted to go to medical school but didn’t have the time. He looked at me and said, ‘I’m married with three kids and I work this job. If I can do it, you can do it!’” Parker received his degree at Mississippi State College for Women (“and a few good men,” he added) in 1997. “I always loved nursing and worked in critical care and the emergency room.” He worked at two different hospitals in Mississippi, one at which he helped start its open heart surgery program. He also did a lot of traveling before moving to Knoxville about nine years ago. He and his wife, a makeup artist at a Maryville salon, have three sons and are expecting a grandchild in January. “LeConte is so involved in the community, very tight-knit — that sets it apart from other hospitals. We hope to increase and improve our staff development. We want to keep patients here instead of transferring them to a higher level of care — we want to be that higher level of care. “We’re getting some good people here. We’re definitely headed upward.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

September month to recognize responsible dog ownership Submitted Report HARRIMAN — The Tennessee Valley Kennel Club, which serves several counties including Sevier, will celebrated Responsible Dog Ownership Day Saturday at the East Tennessee Agricultural Exposition Center, 276 Patton Lane, Harriman. The Tennessee Valley Kennel Club serves Knox, Blount, Sevier, Jefferson, Grainger, Union, Anderson, Roane, Loudon and Monroe counties and provides purebred dogs and their owners with activities. The club meets at 7 p.m. each third Tuesday in Pendergrass Library, University of Tennessee Veterinary School, Joe Johnson Drive. For directions and more information, visit www.tvkc.org. This September, families will celebrate the American Kennel Club’s Responsible Dog Ownership Days. The month-long celebration is designed to teach the importance of being a conscientious dog owner and celebrate the bond between humans and canines. The Tennessee Valley Kennel Club and AKC recommends the following before choosing a dog: n Temperament: A dog may be with you as long as 15 years, depending on the breed, so make sure

he has a personality you can live with. n Exercise needs: All dogs need exercise, but some are more active than others. n Size: All puppies grow quickly. Ask a breeder how large your puppy will become before you bring him home. n Grooming needs: All dogs need grooming and most will shed to some

degree. Long-coated dogs require a lot of effort to stay that way. Shortcoated dogs are easier to groom. n Cost: According to a recent AKC survey, the average pet owner spends up to $1,700 annually on food, vet care, grooming, toys/treats and training. In addition, pet owners spend up to $1,800 on one-time expenses.

Lamar B. Joyner Captain Lamar B. Joyner crossed the bar on Labor Day September 6, 2010. He was born in Gainesville, Florida on June 23, 1948. He was preceded in death by his mother Maude Joyner and his father John Joyner. He was a decorated Vietnam Veteran having served in the 1st Cavalry. He was a VFW member belonging to Post 2550. Lamar was an accomplished sailor having acquired his 100ton ocean operator’s license. He captained his own sailing charter business in the Virgin Islands and in Florida. He combined his love for sailing, flying and restoring antique cars by rebuilding numerous wooden boats, an antique Stearman biplane and a 1948 Chevrolet Woodie. He moved to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and used his woodworking skills to build and restore cabins. Missing the water he returned to his native Florida and became a successful aquaculture farmer raising clams in Cedar Key. Lamar was the king of one-liners and always kept the crowd laughing. He was surrounded in his life by numerous family members, friends and pets. He will be missed by his wife Jana Lyle Joyner, his brother Larry Joyner, sisters Colleen Cauthorn (Jim), Brenda Broome (Jon), and numerous nieces and nephews. We would like to give thanks to Hospice for their support and compassionate care. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 18 at 4:30 p.m.. in the Chapel of Curlew Hills Memory Gardens, Palm Harbor, FL with a celebration of his life following on Honeymoon Island State Park at the South Beach Pavilion (Island attire suggested). Expressions of sympathy may take the form of flowers but a donation to Hospice of Citrus County would be appreciated by the family.

U.S. poverty on track to post record gain in 2009 WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty. Census figures for 2009 — the recession-ravaged first year of the Democrat’s presidency — are to be released in the coming week, and demographers expect grim findings. It’s unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15

Sarten brought a 10-person tent that was as good-as-new (it had only been used last fall), decorative Indian corn she made, a printer and various other goods. Fellow church member Betty McCarter was selling many of her heirloom linens and donating the proceeds to the 100-yearold church’s building repair fund. “I have sons who don’t really have any interest in

them,” she said. “It’s time for me to let them go.” A bake sale that benefitted Middle Creek UMC Women’s Group missions was also hosted on the site. Missions of the Women’s Group, of which Sarten is vice president, include providing healthcare products to seniors; donating food to Bread of Life and Sevier County Food Ministries; participating in the Women’s Care Center’s “Bottles for Babies” drive; and assisting with Camp Wesley Woods. Middle Creek UMC also supports the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky and missionaries in Guinea.

tant anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there,” Obama said Friday at a

White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, “If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle.” Interviews with six demographers who closely track poverty trends found wide consensus that 2009 figures are likely to show a significant rate increase to the range of 14.7 percent to 15 percent. Should those estimates hold true, some 45 million people in this country, or more than 1 in 7, were poor last year. It would be the highest single-year increase since the government began calculating poverty figures

in 1959. The previous high was in 1980 when the rate jumped 1.3 percentage points to 13 percent during the energy crisis. Among the 18-64 working-age population, the demographers expect a rise beyond 12.4 percent, up from 11.7 percent. That would make it the highest since at least 1965, when another Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, launched the war on poverty that expanded the federal government’s role in social welfare programs from education to health care. Demographers also are confident the report will show: n Child poverty increased from 19 percent to more than 20 percent.

n Blacks and Latinos were disproportionately hit, based on their higher rates of unemployment. n Metropolitan areas that posted the largest gains in poverty included Modesto, Calif.; Detroit; Cape CoralFort Myers, Fla.; Los Angeles and Las Vegas. “My guess is that politically these figures will be greeted with alarm and dismay but they won’t constitute a clarion call to action,” said William Galston, a domestic policy aide for President Bill Clinton. “I hope the parties don’t blame each other for the desperate circumstances of desperate people. That would be wrong in my opinion. But that’s not to say it won’t happen.”

Knox Co. looks at jail alternate for some crimes KNOXVILLE (AP) — Knox County law enforcement and county commissioners are considering an alternative to jail for the mentally ill or those arrested for nonviolent crimes. Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and other local leaders met Thursday night to discuss a public safety center that could reduce jail overcrowding and provide treatment for men-

tal health or substance abuse. Under the described proposal, the operation would have 22 beds and provide a place where nonviolent offenders could stay for up to three days to be assessed, get medicine and start treatment. It could serve about 4,000 people a year. However, Jones couldn’t provide numbers on potential savings to the county and the offi-

cials couldn’t say where they could get the funds to run the center, which is estimated at least $17 million over the next 10 years, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported. “There’s no way this cannot save money and not be beneficial to the community, to the mentally ill,” Jones said. “It’s impossible for this not to work.”

The Sevier County Animal Shelter on Gnatty Branch Road will be closed to the public on Sundays and Mondays until further notice. New hours of operation: Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 5 .pm. Animals being surrendered need to be dropped off by 4:30 to allow time for processing.

Editorial

Tierney’s hunt Rebounding for rare footage has been a joy Strong Labor Day weekend may signal a comeback for tourism For close to a year, Kevin Tierney has been looking at home movies that were stored in attics or stuffed in the back of drawers. He has seen movies made from 8mm and 16mm film, color and black and white. It’s been like a scavenger hunt, as he seeks out those kernels, those gems, buried among scenes of family vacations and special events. The goal has been to find scenes of Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains, to be part of the second annual “Vintage Views of Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains,” a film which premieres on Sept. 25 at the Gatlinburg Inn. Tierney’s company, Lorelei Productions, is based in Gatlinburg, and he has worked over the years with city officials to produce videos and other programming. His is a one-man operation. The film he is producing will combine footage from several sources into a 40-minute movie to be shown that evening. He’s not finished with it yet. But before he could even get to the putting-it-alltogether stage, he had to find the material. That has been a challenge as well as a fun adventure. “We’ve been contacting different families throughout the year,” he said. “We interviewed and talked to a lot of people.” Some of those interviews are in the film. He had to watch a great deal of footage that turned out to be of little use for his film. People who thought they had something useful would contact him or someone else in the city, and he’d watch it. In lots of cases he viewed family reunions, holiday get-togethers and trips to the Smokies, but often the shots were tight on the subjects and not so much of the background and scenery. “There was a lot of hunting and pecking to find the footage we could use,” he said. Barbara Stevens, whose late husband Bill Stevens was a city commissioner and long-time civic leader in Gatlinburg, had some great still photos and film footage. Those included some scenes shot in front of Steele’s Sundries, a prominent downtown store owned and operated by Barbara Steele’s parents until 1955. Tierney was given some old promotional material from the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce, and was allowed to use footage shot by Ford Motor Co. in the 1940s as part of a film the carmaker did on the Southern Highlanders. Lots of people made available home movies shot in the Smokies, including scenes of people feeding bears. The national park had some material he got to use. Putting all that into a cohesive, entertaining and attention-holding film is the tricky part, and Tierney is working every day to make it happen. His eyes have not glazed over from seeing all of those amateur home movies. “I loved it,” he said. “That’s the stuff I really enjoy. I guess I live for that. I enjoy talking to people about history and quizzing people for more knowledge about the past. Gatlinburg is a small town, and back then it was even smaller. Exploring who’s who and what’s what and connecting the dots has been enjoyable.” One of his greatest finds was some audio of Wiley Oakley, the early explorer of the Smoky Mountains, who was interviewed in the 1950s near the end of his life when he came through Gatlinburg. Tierney is from Cincinnati. He moved to Gatlinburg 30 years ago. A lover of history, he has picked up on the city’s past and embraced its traditions and cultural history along the way. “In the last 30 years I’ve talked to a lot of people, done a lot of interviews, shot a lot of footage, and it’s been my drive to find out more, to capture it and archive it.” Worried that not enough capturing and preserving of that past is going on, Tierney hopes his film this year will encourage others to look into their closets and attics and dusty basement storage bins to find more footage of the mountains and the city. In the meantime, if you want to see his film, you should sign up for the event. The screening will be at 7 p.m. at the hotel. A wine and cheese reception with live mountain music will precede the public screening starting at 5 p.m. A “Meet the Author” session will begin at 6 p.m. Call the city’s Special Events Office at 436-0500 to reserve your seat. Tickets are $10 at the door, with reservations required. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press. His column appears each Sunday.

There are signs both locally and nationally that things are getting better. Slowly, to be sure, but better nonetheless. Assessing local business fortunes is hard to do until the numbers come out, but talks with people and local officials indicate the Labor Day weekend was especially good. Wonderful weekend weather sure helped, but people had to be here to enjoy that weather, and that’s the indicator. The Dollywood parking lot was jammed over the weekend. Downtown Gatlinburg was swamped, and some of its parking lots were full. Those are indicators of a slowly turning economy. Sevier County has fared better than many areas of the country during this two-years-plus recession. No matter how bad things get, Americans want

to travel, to get away, to escape from their routine for some entertainment and fun. This is the nation’s best family destination. A vacation here is more economical than going to Disney World or New York City, and much more convenient to most of the country. There is more to do and see here. The national park is free. Our lodging rates are reasonable, and our attractions offer package deals that can meet most family budgets. Yes, visitation dipped over the last two years, but not dramatically. We have lost some businesses, and others have seen revenue drops and laid off personnel. That cannot be denied, and the impact of the recession on our area cannot be sugarcoated. We have been hurt like every part of the nation.

However, one can look at our tourism glass as half-empty or half-full. To see our fortunes through rose-colored glasses is not to ignore the realities of the economic times, but merely to state the obvious: Tourism was down, but not out. People still came to see us by the millions. And it appears they are rediscovering us in greater numbers. We haven’t escaped this troubling and difficult time. There are starts and stops yet to be experienced. Fears of a second recession loom. We may see some daylight, but aren’t blinded by it just yet. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the positives. Let’s build on the improvements. Things are stirring out there, and there is a feeling in Sevier County that we are coming back.

Political view

Public forum We’ll head in right direction when we back up far enough

Editor: This is in reply to a letter to the editor on Sept. 2 entitled “Tea Party movement intent on taking country backward.” It is clear the letter writer is against conservatism in any form whether it be the Tea Party or the Republican Party. This indicates that he must be a liberal and, from the quote at the end of his letter; “Yes we can,” he must also be an Obama supporter. He also believes conservatives want to take this nation “backwards,” according to his letter, thus implying he believes the nation is going in the right direction, that being in the direction of democratic socialism. Democratic socialism means more government intrusion into the private sector. This means taking more of everyone’s money, not just from the rich, to fund this type of government. All one needs to do is look at Europe for an example of a democratic social-

ist government where they have skyrocketing unemployment, a health care system very similar to ObamaCare where you have rationing, long waits and you are told which doctor you can see. Do you remember the phrase, “Share the wealth”? This phrase became synonymous with the Obama campaign in 2008. This is short for, “If you work hard and take the risks and make enough money, we the government will come and take away a big portion of your earnings through taxes to give away, at our discretion, to those who have not devoted the time and hard work it takes to succeed (entitlements).” To take from a man or woman what they have worked hard to earn and give it away, more times than not, to those who do not deserve it, is not a very good incentive to cause people to work hard to succeed. I know there are those out there who cannot help themselves and truly need help, but our government has proven time and again they are not qualified to play this role. Our govern-

ment’s role is to create an environment for businesses to flourish and business owners to succeed,where entrepreneurs are willing to start new businesses because they can see an opportunity to get gain, instead of being penalized them for succeeding. This is called the free market system and it is what has made this nation strong. It is called freedom and independence, but the more we become dependent on the government, we become less independent and more enslaved. We need to go “backwards” just far enough to get this country back on the road that made us strong to start with. We took the wrong road when we decided that just believing there is a God in heaven was good enough, instead of living for Him by obeying His Word, putting Him first and loving our neighbor as ourselves. When we “back up” far enough to see our way clear to do this, we’ll be headed in the right direction once again. Mike Quilliams Gatlinburg

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

Vols hang tough, Ducks pull away late UT shows some guts vs. Top 10 Oregon By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

Tennessee freshman receiver Justin Hunter goes high and snags a 31-yard Matt Simms pass away from Oregon senior defensive back Talmadge Jackson to give the Vols a 1st-and-Goal at the 1 on the final play of the first quarter Saturday night at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE — After a fairy tale start for the Cinderella University of Tennessee Vols football team, the clock eventually struck midnight as the visiting No. 7 Oregon Ducks took control in the second half and posted a 48-13 win Saturday night at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee junior running back Tauren Poole set the tone early for the Vols by breaking loose down the right sideline for a 31-yard run on the opening play from scrimmage, which eventually led to a 48-yard Daniel Lincoln field goal for a 3-0 UT lead with 11:13 in the opening quarter. Poole was a stud in the first half, carrying 15 times for 141 yards, but he managed just 21 yards on eight second-half totes to finish the night with 162. The Vols got the ball right back on the ensuing kickoff when Oregon’s Kenjon Barner fumbled after a 39-yard return, and UT’s Prentiss Waggner was Johnny Onthespot, scooping up the loose ball at the Ducks 43 with 11:03 in the first. The Vols’ second possession also ended in a Lincoln field goal, this time from 35 yards, giving Tennessee a 6-0 lead with 8:53 in the first quarter, moments before a severe lightning storm blew into the area and sent the teams back to the locker rooms for a 70-minute weather delay. The long delay did nothing to kill the early Vols momentum. Oregon’s Rob Beard cut the lead to 6-3 with a See VOLS, Page A9

Former SCHS star, longtime coach in Bradley County, honored By JOE CANNON Special to The Mountain Press Getting a limo ride. Having the city and county mayors declaring it his day. Having former colleagues tell embarrassing stories about him. Getting two homemade chocolate pies, some Oreos and a case of Grape Nehi. Not knowing his right hand from his left. Having a country music and movie star admit she had a crush on him back in high school. Having part of Bradley Central’s Bear Stadium renamed for him. More than 750 friends,

including a supreme court justice and a former CEO of a major company, gathering to pay him honor. Getting “roasted’ turned out to be “one of the best days of my life,” declared local legend Bill “Chief” Robertson at the close of Thursday evening’s fun at the Bradley Central High School cafeteria. When the call went out a few weeks ago that the administration and coaching staff at BCHS was going to honor Robertson, who is stepping away from coaching after 44 years, people came from far and wide to participate. “I talked to a man who pulled up and asked if this is where they were going to honor ‘Chief.’ He told me he

had just driven eight hours from Mississippi to be here,” BCHS athletic director Turner Jackson said an hour and a half before the ceremonies began. For better than four hours more than a dozen of Robertson’s cohorts told stories about the always smiling, lovable teddy bear. Among the many who showed up for the event without being on the schedule to speak were Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Gary Wade, a former mayor of “Chief’s” hometown of Sevierville, and former Farm Bureau CEO Hewlett Chaney.

JACKSON, Tenn. — Through strong starting pitching and another night of home run power, the Tennessee Smokies took a two games to one lead over the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in the North Division Championship Series with a 9-2 victory in Game Three at Pringles Park on Saturday night. The win gives Tennessee a chance to win the best of five series on Sunday night at Smokies Park. In their two wins in the series, the Smokies have outscored the Diamond Jaxx 20-3. After making just three starts for Tennessee at the end of the year, starter Trey McNutt pitched like a veteran in Jackson. McNutt, a 32nd round selection by the Cubs in the 2009 draft, pitched five innings while just giving up one run on four hits. McNutt also recorded six strikeouts in his outing, which is his first win in Double-A baseball. Tony Campana led off the game in rousing fashion with an inside the park homer to put the Smokies ahead 1-0. The inside-the-park blast is Campana’s first home run as a professional. The Smokies plated two more runs in the top of the second, as Marwin Gonzalez and Camapana had backto-back RBI singles to extend Tennessee’s advantage to 3-0. West Tenn would answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning, as a wild pitch by McNutt brought in Alex Liddi to put the score at 3-1. Tennessee erupted for three runs in the top of the fourth. Brandon Guyer’s sacrifice fly gave Tennessee a three run lead, before two more runs scored on Blake Lalli’s single to put the score at 6-1. Robinson Chirinos was 2-2 in the game going into his at-bat follow-

ing Lalli in the top of the fourth. Chirinos was hit in the hand by a Grube fastball and would not return after being hit by the pitch. The Smokies continued pouring on the offense in the sixth inning. Russ Canzler hit a two-run homer to put the lead at 8-1. Matt Spencer made it back-toback homers with his solo shot, his second of the North Division Championship Series, to extend the lead to 9-1. Marco Carrillo took over for McNutt on the mound in the bottom of the sixth. Carrillo pitched three scoreless innings while only giving up one hit. James Leverton gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth, but got the final out to preserve the 9-2 win. The Smokies have their first opportunity to win the North Division Championship in Sunday’s Game Four at Smokies Park. Tennessee will turn to Craig Muschko on the mound against West Tenn’s Steve Bray. The game begins at 7:15 p.m., and tickets are available by calling 865286-2300, or visiting smokiesbaseball.com.

20 of Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Middle Tennessee State University teammates and another dozen who played football and basketball with him at Sevier County High School in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Among the many highlights of the evening was the return to Bradley County of former Bear head coach Terry Sweeney, who had coached Roberston at both Sevier County and MTSU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember seeing him at Frog Alley looking through the fence at our football practices,â&#x20AC;? Coach Sweeney recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a big son of a gun, so we got him to come out and play with us.â&#x20AC;? That began a lifelong relationship that Robertson proclaims was the key to him becoming the man he is today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy on him but he never complained,â&#x20AC;? Sweeney added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill was a great player and is a great person. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lucky and honored to know him.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My high school coach told me he moved me from safety to linebacker so that when Bill ran over me, I could watch a real running back go,â&#x20AC;? laughed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? former college roommate Joe Parker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He scored three touchdowns on us (Holston) that day and had three others called back because of penalties.â&#x20AC;? Parker presented his old teammate with $1,500

quarter. Poole finished the scoring drive off on second down with a one-yard TD run with 14:21 in the half, giving the Vols a surprising 10-point 13-3 lead over the No. 7 team in the nation after Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra-point kick. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as good as it would get for the Volunteers. Beard kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2:56 in the half to cut it to 13-6, and after a three-and-out punt for Tennessee, the Ducks

tied it at 13s with a four-play, 62-yard TD drive capped by a 27-yard aerial connection from Darron Thomas to David Paulson with 1:04 in the half. It was all Oregon in the second half. LaMichael James gave the Ducks their first lead of the night with a 72-yard weaving TD run where it appeared at least four Vol defenders had a chance to bring the runner down at one point or another. Beardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick made it 20-13 Oregon with 10:10 in

collected from some of Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends in the golfing community to help with the summer youth golf program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;? has led locally for the past two decades. Former Sevier County High School teacher Julia Householder said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill was in my history class but he became a part of our family.â&#x20AC;? She read letters of congratulations from the Sevier County and Sevierville mayors, but it was a third letter that confirmed what â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;? has â&#x20AC;&#x153;claimedâ&#x20AC;? for half a century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really did have a crush on you back in school,â&#x20AC;? stated the letter signed â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will always love you, Dolly Parton.â&#x20AC;? Robertson took plenty of good-natured ribbing from fellow coaching cohorts Dale Woodard, David Cawood, Jerry Frazier, Paul Ramsey, Johnny Mull, Kevin Rapier, John Dixon and Jackson, plus was thanked by current BCHS principal Todd Shoemaker for paddling him many years ago. Childhood friend Bob Barker (not the one from The Price is Right), told of how â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;? handled the â&#x20AC;&#x153;meanest man in Gordonsville,â&#x20AC;? plus told of Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first varsity basketball game where he committed five fouls in five minutes. Stories and a video were shared of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? days as a performer at Gold Rush Junction, as well as his being challenged at gunpoint for making a sandwich in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

house at midnight. Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis read a joint proclamation from himself and Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland which declared Thursday, Sept. 9, as Bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;?

When all was said and done Thursday night, the consensus was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiefâ&#x20AC;? is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good human beingâ&#x20AC;? and has helped to make thousand of others that way as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been plenty of trouble students others have given up on, but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up on them.

BCHS assistant principal Martha Frazier said of Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19 years as head of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up on anybody,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is important to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the starting quarterback or the team manager,â&#x20AC;? current Bear head coach Damon Floyd declared earlier this week. A sentiment that was pointed out time and time again among the night of a thousand laughs and thank yous for being such a great influence not just in Bradley County but many more communities as well.

the third. UT looked to respond after Simms completed a 14-yard pass to Poole and a 31-yard pass to Zach Rogers, giving the Vols a first down at the Oregon 24. But three plays later, Simms was intercepted by Cliff Harris, who returned it 76 yards to paydirt for a 27-13 lead with 6:27 in the third. The Ducks continued their hot streak in the fourth quarter, and Thomas connected with Lavasier Tuinei for a 29-yard score with 13:28 in regulation to make it 34-13 Oregon. Things went from bad to worse for the Vols after Kenjon Barner returned a 54-yard Chad Cunningham punt for an 80-yard TD to make it 41-13 with 11:39 remaining in the contest. The Ducks added insult to injury with a 10-play, 51-yard TD drive that featured 10 consecutive runs, nine of them by Remene Alston, Jr., who capped the drive with a two-yard scoring dive with 3:54 in the contest, making it the eventual final.

The Sevier County Middle School Bears traveled to Carpenters Middle School to take on the Cougars Thursday night and came away with a 46-8 victory. The Bears received the opening kick off and marched down the field with Connor Bailey scoring the first touchdown of the evening. Hunter Miniard added two points to make the score 8-0. A 25-yard TD run from Kody Paul, and TD pass from Deuce Wallace to Reece Layman and Bailey, along with a trio of two-point conversion had the score 32-0 at the half. A Wallace to Austin Conner TD pass, followed by a Wallace to Dallas Bush TD ran the score to 40-0. After a Carpenters score, SC added their final TD of the night as Devante Matthews ran in six more points from his QB position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well on both sides of the ball tonight and we were able to empty the bench,â&#x20AC;? coach Jim Bingham said. The Bears host Heritage at 7 p.m. Saturday for their final home game of 2010.

Lady Tigers soccer demolishes A-E

Coach Billy Moselyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Tigers soccer squad improved to 2-4-1 on the year with a 7-0 throttling of Austin-East. Caitlan McGinnis had quite a day, scoring four goals in contest. Her first goal came in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first minute, thanks to an assist from Kelsey Brooks. Goals from Cassie Privett, Brooks and Autumn Wilkinson got it to 4-0 by halftime. All three second half goals came off the foot of McGinnis to stretch the win to 7-0. The Lady Tigers play again Tuesday against rival G-P in Gatlinburg.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Hamlin wins at home to grab top seed in Chase By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

Clem Britt/AP

Denny Hamlin celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday Sept. 11. SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL

No. 24 South Carolina beats No. 22 Georgia 17-6 By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier brought in Marcus Lattimore to run the ball. And Spurrier let his prize freshman do it all game against No. 22 Georgia. Lattimore rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns to lead the 24thranked Gamecocks (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) to a 17-6 victory Saturday. The Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1) played without star receiver A.J. Green, penalized four games by the NCAA for selling a game jersey for $1,000. Lattimore carried 37 times in his first SEC game, punching in two 2-yard TDs and sealing things during a long, fourth-quarter field goal drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little sore,â&#x20AC;? Lattimore said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let the cheers at Williams-Brice Stadium soothe any lingering pain. The fans chanted his name at the end as Lattimore pounded the Bulldogs (1-1,

0-1) again and again. Get used to it, SEC, because Spurrier sounds ready to ground it out all season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marcus has a knack for finding a little crease,â&#x20AC;? Spurrier said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he can do after hitting the hole that has him leading South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense. He pushed past the defensive line for his first 2-yard touchdown. Lattimore had two defenders on his back on his next score and dragged them into the end zone for a second 2-yard TD. He also had yardage on South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final scoring drive, starting with a 16-yard

run and carrying eight of 11 plays to seal the game with Spencer Lanningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-yard field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting that,â&#x20AC;? Lattimore said of his carries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it pays off for all the hard work.â&#x20AC;? It was a complete reversal from most games in the South Carolina-Georgia series. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a Bulldogs tailback who takes charge and the Gamecocks who play catch up. This time, Georgia was outgained by more than 100 yards and held without a touchdown for the first time in three years since its last loss to South Carolina, 16-12, in 2007.

RICHMOND, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Denny Hamlin went from last to first to the top seed in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race for the Sprint Cup championship. Hamlin snapped a monthlong slump Saturday night with another win at Richmond International Raceway, his home track, by holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch in a dominating victory. It was Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seriesbest sixth win of the season and pushed him past four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson for the top seed in the Chase. The points were reset after Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, and Hamlin goes to the Chase opener next week at New Hampshire with a 10-point lead over Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope you guys are ready for a good 10 weeks,â&#x20AC;? he radioed his crew. Regular-season points leader Kevin Harvick took the third seed, 30 points behind Hamlin. Busch, also 30 behind Hamlin, gave Toyota and JGR a 1-2 finish. Kurt Busch, winner of the inaugural 2004 Chase, is the fifth seed, followed by Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle, who secured his spot in the 12-driver field just 30 laps into Saturday night when start-andpark driver Jason Leffler called it a night. Biffle was guaranteed a spot in the Chase by finishing 42nd or better. He wound up 32nd. Jeff Gordon will be seeded eighth, the first of five drivers winless this

Clint Bowyer was the only real driver on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubbleâ&#x20AC;? at the start of Saturday night, but had a stout car, led 33 laps and finished sixth to grab the final Chase spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As happy as I am to make the Chase, I was frustrated with the finish,â&#x20AC;? Bowyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a second place car and made an attempt to pass Denny a couple of times and slipped clear to sixth.â&#x20AC;? But he never had to worry in a race that lacked the drama of previous years. As the final race of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular season,â&#x20AC;? Richmond has packed a punch since the Chase began in 2004 as a handful of drivers typically vied for one or two spots in the championship field. Jeremy Mayfield won Richmond that first year to grab the final spot, and every season since has been full of storylines of who made it and who missed it. Not so much this year, as Bowyer took a 117-

point lead into Saturday night and needed only to avoid catastrophe to earn the last spot in the field. The attention was instead on the 10 drivers who had already clinched their spots and what measures theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take to grab the final 10 bonus points before the Chase. In the end, though, nobody had anything for Hamlin, who won at Richmond for the second consecutive year. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win pushed him thick into the championship hunt, and he hung with Johnson for the first few weeks until a mix of mechanical problems and mental lapses took him out of contention. This year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping to ride the momentum to his first career championship. Johnson knows Hamlin is lurking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe I took for granted how well Denny ran last year, that he would just be there (in contention),â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the reality to me, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be one of the guys to race for it.â&#x20AC;?

PREP FOOTBALL

Lions lose battle of winless prep teams By DWANE WILDER Special to The Mountain Press JELLICO, Tenn. — In a battle of winless high school football teams Friday night, host Jellico was able to defeat The King’s Academy, 33-14. Senior quarterback Devin Oakes had a hand in four of the Blue Devils’ five touchdowns. He ran for two scores and passed for two. Jellico (1-2 overall) got on the scoreboard first when Oakes bulled over from the 3-yard line with 7:59 left in the opening quarter. The Blue Devils missed an extra point kick. TKA junior David Lamon tied the game, 6-6, on a 1-yard TD run with 4:48 to go. The Lions (0-3 overall) also missed their first PAT. On the final play of the first quarter, Jellico recovered a fumble on the TKA 30-yard line to set up a goahead touchdown. Oakes capped the drive with a 4-yard TD run at the 10:43 mark of the second quarter. Gabe Mitchell’s PAT kick made it 13-6 in favor of the Blue Devils. Jellico capitalized on another TKA miscue after recovering a fumble on the kickoff. On the following play, Oakes tossed a pass to Mitchell, who was waiting in the right flat. Mitchell then bolted 21 yards to paydirt. The PAT kick hit the left upright and bounced harmlessly NCAA FOOTBALL

Kansas upsets No. 15 Georgia Tech 28-25 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Jordan Webb threw three touchdown passes and Kansas rebounded from last week’s humiliating loss to North Dakota State with a 28-25 upset Saturday of No. 15 Georgia Tech. Capping a tumultuous eight days which included the abrupt retirement of their controversial athletic director, the Jayhawks (1-1) capitalized on a succession of mistakes by the heavily favored Yellow Jackets (1-1) and posted their biggest win since the 2008 Orange Bowl. Webb, who replaced last week’s starter, was 18 for 29 for 179 yards and three TDs. Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt scored touchdowns on runs of 9 and 4 yards, giving him five in two games.

Blue Devils touchdown. Mitchell’s PAT made it 26-6. Later in the third quarter, Oakes hit Mitchell on a pass that went for a 58-yard TD. Nathan Overton threw a key block near the goal line that allowed Mitchell to score untouched. Mitchell’s PAT

put Jellico up 33-6 with 8:34 remaining in the third quarter. The Lions scored the final touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run by #36 with 5:27 left. He also ran for a 2-point conversion and the final margin. From LaFollette Press

No. 8 Gators overcome slow start, 6 beat USF GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Demps has emerged as Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top playmaker. Demps ran for a careerhigh 139 yards and a touchdown, finished with 255 all-purpose yards and helped No. 8 Florida beat South Florida 38-14 on Saturday. The Gators (2-0) overcame a sluggish start for the second consecutive week, took advantage of five turnovers and extended their home winning streak to 13 games. Big plays were key. John Brantleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone TD pass came after an interception. Dempsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 62-yard TD run followed a fumble. Mike Gillislee scored after another turnover. Defensive end Justin Trattou picked off a pass and rumbled 35 yards to the end zone. And the Gators turned Dempsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 54-yard kickoff return into a field goal. Florida would like to forget the first half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again. After struggling with botched snaps and ball security last week against Miami (Ohio), the Gators punted three times and missed a field goal against the Bulls (1-1). The Gators scored in the final minute of the half, then rolled after the break. South Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.J. Daniels, the guy who almost single-handily beat Florida State last year, completed just 5 of 20 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also threw four interceptions. The Bulls kept it close early and even led 7-0 for most of the first half. They drove 96 yards on their opening possession, gashing Florida with long runs, and then scored on a 2-yard pass from Daniels to Andrew Ketchel. The 17-play drive was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest highlight, though. Florida settled down on defense and held South Florida to 224 yards the rest of the game. The Gators played without safety Will Hill, apparently out because of a suspension, for the second consecutive week and lost cornerback Jeremy Brown in the second half.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trent Richardson ran for 144 yards in place of injured Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, leading No. 1 Alabama to a 24-3 win over No. 18 Penn State on Saturday night. The Crimson Tide (2-0) hardly slowed down without Ingram, and a young defense forced freshman Rob Bolden and the Nittany Lions (1-1) into several turnovers to end promising drives. It was the first time Penn State was held without a touchdown since a 13-3 loss at Wisconsin in 2006. The shutout lasted until the final 10 minutes. With Ingram sidelined for the second straight game with a knee injury, Richardson pulled a pretty good imitation. He plowed through and sidestepped tackles and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. He also had four catches for 46 yards. Greg McElroy completed 16 of 24 passes for 229

yards and two touchdowns for Alabama. The traditional powers hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met since 1990, also the last time Penn State played a Southeastern Conference team. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live up to the tradition of classic contests started in the late 1970s with Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Paterno and Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bear Bryant roaming the sidelines. But the physical, fast Tide played its part as the defending national champions. Most of the 101,821 fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium stayed put until the end, with some chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;SEC.â&#x20AC;? The Big Ten vs. SEC matchup was one-sided pretty much from the outset. Alabama harassed Bolden into two interceptions in his first road start. He was 13-of-29 passing for 144 yards. A defense that replaced nine starters hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed a touchdown yet and hit Bolden with some jarring blitzes. The Tide gets

suspended end Marcell Dareus back next week against Duke. Richardson had 102 yards in the first half against a defense that had gone the previous 17 games without a 100-yard rusher. Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shonn Greene gained 117 yards on Nov. 8, 2008. Richardson had 22 carries and has filled in seamlessly for Ingram, who watched in a jersey and crimson warmup pants for the second straight game. McElroy passed Alabama downfield with four quick completions on its second drive. He found Kevin Norwood for a 36-yard score on the redshirt freshmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first career catch. It was hardly vintage Tide. Alabama ran the whole drive with an empty backfield, keeping the Nittany Lions off-balance. Tight end Preston Dial caught a 14-yard touchdown on the opening play of the second quarter and the Tide led 17-0 at halftime.

Something to crow about

Holiday of Hope pageant is just around the corner After a successful first run of The Mountain Press’ Holiday of Hope pageant in 2009, it will return this year, but with a few changes. The 2010 event will be held Nov. 20 at Country Tonite theater in Pigeon Forge. That’s a change from last year, but not the only change we’ve made after learning a few things during the first event. Another change: There is only one deadline for entries, and that date is Nov. 5. There will be no late entries or any entries accepted the day of the event. This is to give us a count on how many contestants we will have and allow us to obtain a participation trophy for each person. Also, as each entry is received we will assign a contestant number so there are no mix-ups on the day of the pageant. We will have the same age divisions as in 2009, with divisions for boys, infants through 3 years old and, for girls, infants through age 25, plus the survivor category for women 25 and over. If too few entrants are received in any one division, we will combine with another division. There are two choices for entry fees: $25 and $35. The $35 fee includes an event T-shirt that will carry the slogan “All I Want for Christmas Is a Cure,” while the $25 fee does not. We felt it best to leave the choice of getting a T-shirt up to the contestant. Sizes are available for infants through adults. Survivors in every age division may waive the $25 entry fee, but the $10 for the T-shirt is still needed. Survivors may also waive the fee for entering extra categories, which is $5 for each one entered. The extra categories are the same as last year: Photogenic, Prettiest Eyes, Best Smile, Best Personality, Prettiest Hair and Best Dressed. A 4-by-6inch color photo is required for the Photogenic and Prettiest Eyes categories. The pageant guidelines are also the same. Dress is Sunday best for children 9 and younger, with light makeup for those ages as well. No glitz-style dresses or makeup, please. Dress is formal for ages 10 and older, and formal or mother-of-the-bride style dresses for survivor division. Awards will be given through second runners-up and presented at the conclusion of each age division. That’s another change from last year, where we gave awards at the conclusion of every fourth age division. Entrants will receive free admission for themselves an one other person; otherwise, admission to the pageant is $5 each. Tickets can be turned in for door prize drawings. Thomas Photography will again be on hand to take photos and sell picture packages. All proceeds from the event will go to the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Sevier County, which helps fund the society’s efforts at research, support, advocacy and education. Making its return from last year is the Ambassador of Hope competition. The competition is open to all contestants, but only one person will receive the title. The title will be awarded based on the money raised through support advertisements for the pageant program. Forms to present to supporters that explain ad size and pricing are attached to entry forms. All checks should be made out to The American Cancer Society or The Mountain Press. Forms can be picked up at The Mountain Press, Country Tonite or Thomas Photography. You can also request forms by e-mail to gcrutchfield@themountainpress.com or by calling 428-0748, ext. 215 or 262. Thanks to all of our sponsors so far, as well as to those who will provide sponsorship as the fundraiser continues. Please call me at the 215 extension listed above or Tammy McGaha at extension 262 if you would like to help us in the fight against cancer. — Gail Crutchfield is the community editor of The Mountain Press.

Poultry show returns to Sevier County Fair By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor Gail Crutchfield/The Mountain Press

Poultry of all kinds were on display at the Sevier County Fair’s poultry show located in the red barn.

The Red Barn was filled Thursday with the sounds (and smells) of all different types of fowl, as the poultry show made its return to the Sevier County Fair. The low trill of the silkies was overshadowed by the sharp calls of the bantam hens and Rhode Island reds, but you could just hear them as you stood close by to study the puff-ball shaped chickens. Those particular chickens came all the way from Knoxville with Jack Ferguson, who was the only exhibitor of that particular breed at this year’s event. But that’s something organizers and breeders like Ferguson and Stanley Huskey of Wears Valley hope will change with the revival of the show at the county fair. “We’re looking to do two other poultry shows a year, in the spring and winter,” said Chris Beeler, an organizer of the Sevier County Fair’s first poultry show in about four or five years. Beeler, whose job titles include Sevier County Co-op employee, pastor of Glory Bound Baptist Church and breeder of show chickens, said he inherited the love of breeding show chickens from his dad and was one of the ones who wanted to see them come back to the fair. “Everybody wanted it,” he said. County Extension Agent Glenn Turner agreed. “This is one of the things the people really missed,” he said Thursday as he watched people walk around the cages filled with birds — some cages even had eggs in them. “One old gentleman said, ‘You know, I like this. It takes me back to my childhood.’” Huskey is glad to see it return. He said he was bringing birds to the fair 25 to 30 years ago. When the poultry show stopped in Sevier County, he took his birds to Newport’s fair. This year he took them to both fairs. “I was glad to see they brought it back,” said Huskey, who entered 20 Old English chickens in the show. While Huskey and Ferguson were old hands at getting their fowl ready for the poultry show, the 4-H portion of the event let youngsters get their first taste of competition.

Hailey Carmichael is proud of the chickens she raised for the 4-H competition.

Blue ribbons mark the best of the breeds in the Sevier County Fair poultry show.

Twist of fate ends in death of chief By Robert S.

Bogart, 64, at the northwest corner of Main Street and Court Avenue and fatally shot him four times with a .32-caliber revolver. A fifth round hit a bystander, 34-year-old Sevierville resident Ray Romines. There was no immediate explanation for the slaying. Norton, who lived on the family farm three miles south of Sevierville, had said nothing prior to opening fire. His only comment as he was being taken away by Deputy Sheriff Walter Enloe was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stood it as long as I could.â&#x20AC;? Chief Bogart had been a police officer for 20 years and chief for the preceding 10 years. Bogart was well liked in the community, and many were confused and upset at his senseless killing. Soon afterward, however, details explaining Nortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rage began to unfold. Norton, known to be unstable, had just been released from jail. He had been arrested the night before for public intoxication at Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ. When Norton became unruly, the owner and operator of the restaurant, Dick Allen, had called Sevierville police officer Bill Reagan, who came to the restaurant,

Reagan, who had been a deputy under two different sheriffs and a police officer for several years, became chief of police following Bogartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaying and served Sevierville another 15 years. Reagan died in 1966. Dick Allen would go on to build a new restaurant on Park Road across from the old post office and die at the age of 81 in 1974. More important, however, at least for the author of this story, was another turn that occurred in 1943. Dick Allen had a second son, Robert. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robert S.

Motivation needed, but we all should question it, too By ALTA RAPER I’ve been thinking about motivation. What is it that motivates us; what are our incentives; what is it that beckons us; what is our calling? I would guess a lot of different things; depending on who we are and what our interests might be. The book of Acts makes it very clear that the empowerment of the Holy Spirit is what takes ordinary people and makes them become extraordinary people. Jesus gets Simon and Andrew to come along with him by telling them that they could do a lot more important things with their lives than catching fish. They could be fishers of men no less. Jesus was always encouraging people to be more and do more, and He showed them by example. Never was there a man who could turn lives around like Jesus. The supreme motivator, He was constantly affirming a person’s worth in this world by allowing them to claim the salvation He would die for. Motivation is something

we all need but it is something that we must also question. If we honestly and genuinely care for each other we will find the right motivation, that anxious spirit, to be about the work of the church in the world. I hope we will never be satisfied with “services as usual” in our churches; but be motivated to go beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary work of Christ. He will give us the knowledge and the strength for our journey. Our motives should include a sense of honor in knowing that we have been so blest that we want to give back out of those blessings. We need to take pride in what we do. We must have that desire to do everything we do to the very best of our abilities if only for the inner peace and satisfaction it will bring. We must practice playing fairly every game in life. And a sense of adventure would be good as well; to be called to venture beyond that which is comfortable into that which requires a little more effort, but to always be sure of our paths.

The world desperately needs motivated people to make this a better place; to make it all that God intended it to be. So… what is your motive for going to church this morning? Is it a sense of duty, to be able to say “I went to church,” is it a feeling that it is the “right thing to do,” is it a time to reconnect with those we haven’t seen in a while, a good way to pass the time before gathering for lunch with our friends; or is it out of a profound sense of humbleness and thankfulness for what God has and is doing in our lives; for the gift of His son, Jesus Christ and the price he paid for our sins, and a time to honor him with our whole being? We need to be very clear in our motives. “All a man’s ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord.” Proverbs 16:2 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.

The Powerful Temptation Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and he said unto him, ‘’All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.’’ Then saith Jesus unto him, - ’’Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, ‘Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.’’’ Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him (Matthew 4:8-11). Satan has tried to get Jesus to satisfy His great physical hunger and to test out God’s promises. Each time Jesus has rebuffed him with Scripture. - So now, in the third temptation (the second in Luke’s account; Luke 4:5-8), Satan attempts to seduce Jesus with one of his greatest tools-- the desire for power. No generation has ever lacked people who are willing to go to any length to get even a small portion of what Satan promises Jesus. - History books are filled with the names of people who have used brute force in an attempt to conquer the world-- Ramses the Great. - Nebuchadnezzar. Alexander the Great. - Julius Caesar. - Genghis Khan. - Napoleon. - Hitler. - For every such character there have been a hundred petty rulers who dreamed of something greater, and vast multitudes of the poor and dispossessed who dream of such power. And here Jesus is-- with one action, He could best them all. - One could argue as to whether Satan, the Father of lies (John 8:44), would have really given Jesus authority over all the kingdoms of the world or not. - One might even dispute whether it is within Satan’s power to give them. - Yet to do so would be to blunt the force of the temptation. - After all, if Jesus knows that Satan will not give the promised result or cannot do so, it is not much of a temptation. - As the ‘’god of this world’’ (2 Corinthians 4:4), he is likely well able to deliver on his promise. Not a few men would have quickly fallen on their knees, including many of the Jews of Jesus’ own day. - Ironically, this is His chance to be the ‘’Messiah’’ of the Jewish imagination. - What will He do? This is a real test for Jesus. - It shows everything that He is about. - And, as before, He is about confidence in God. - He tells the Evil One to be gone, quoting Deuteronomy 6:13. - God is the only One worthy of true worship-- prostration and service. - God’s call for Jesus is the only important call. - God’s purposes cannot be accomplished through Satan’s vehicles (Romans 1:16-17)! Think for a moment about what Jesus is really doing here. - With one quick action, all the pain and suffering could be gone. - He would receive honor, glory, and power. - Millions would be at His disposal for whatever purpose He desires. - Rome, Persia, India, China, and all others would bow down before Him. - Fantastic wealth and luxury would be His. - But when He dies it would all go away, and humanity would never receive reconciliation with God. Instead, He chooses to follow God’s call. - He will soon go back to Galilee. - He will live out His days as a peasant. - During His life He will be an object of scorn and reproach. - Despite doing good He will receive mockery, abuse, and ultimately a humiliating death as a common criminal (Philippians 2:5-8). But then God raised Him in power and granted Him authority that Satan could never provide-authority over heaven and earth, the Name that is above every name (Matthew 28:1-18, Philippians 2:9-11). - Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus is able to provide true life and salvation for all who come to God through Him (John 6:53-58, Romans 5:5-11, Hebrews 12:2). - Through His blood an eternal Kingdom is established, one that can never fade (Colossians 1:13, 2 Peter 1:11). Therefore, Satan offered Jesus the imitation, and He preferred to suffer in order to accomplish the reality. We do well to heed Jesus’ lesson here. - Too often we follow after the imitation-- the idols of the world, and many times the specific idol of power-- and think that we can accomplish God’s work through that imitation. - It never has been and never can be. - God’s purposes are accomplished through Jesus and the Gospel of the Kingdom; it manifests a specific disinterest in the governments of men (Romans 1:16-17; 13:1-7). - Too many reach after power and abuse it on national, corporate, familial, and even individual levels. - We must instead focus our efforts and stewardship on the eternal Kingdom and God’s purposes in it (Matthew 6:33). - We must be willing, as Jesus was, to forsake the temporary pleasures, satisfaction, and honor of this world and to suffer loss and indignity in order to receive eternal glory and honor (Romans 8:17-18). The Apostle John lists the three means of temptation that Satan uses: the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and pride in possessions (1 John 2:16). - Thus Satan successively tempted Eve into sinning: the appearance of the fruit, its perceived health benefit, and its ability to make wise (Genesis 3:6). - We all know what resulted (Romans 5:12-18). - Satan attempts to do the same with Jesus: the desires of the flesh (bread), the desires of the eyes (power), and the pride of life (testing God). - But this time Satan fails. - Jesus stands firm and gains the victory over him, empowered by the revealed Word of God in Scripture. Jesus, the embodiment of Israel, has endured His ‘’Elijah moment.’’ - He set out in His exodus into the wilderness and experienced the temptations of the wandering and yet proved faithful to God. - It is right for the angels to minister to Him, for it is time for Jesus, having overcome the Evil One, to minister to others. - The Gospel of the Kingdom can now be proclaimed by the One who overcame the temptation to compromise and to give up what is eternal for what is fleeting. - Let us praise God for the victory and the Kingdom we can share in the Son!

Hailey Charmichael, 10, a student at Sevierville Intermediate, found out about the competition during 4-H meetings. “When the 4-H officials came to school in fourth grade, they spoke about different contests,” said the daughter of Joey and Tina Charmichael. One of those contests was the poultry show, and the students were given extra incentive to compete by learning they could get about two dozen free chicks to raise. “We got 26 chickens and 19 are left,” Hailey said. She brought her three Rhode Island reds to the 4-H competition. Fellow competitor Heidi Lawson is also a first-time poultry grower, but it paid off with her champion pen of birds. Heidi, 11, is a student at Pi Beta Phi and the daughter of Jill and Greg Lawson. Both girls say they’ve put a good bit of work into their chickens, checking on them every morning and after school every day. “They get water every afternoon and I feed them every morning,” Hailey said. Her chickens just started laying eggs a couple of weeks ago, she added, but they haven’t used any yet because she’s not sure how longs the eggs have been there when she picks them up.

One of Jack Ferguson’s silkies won first place for its division in the poultry show. He won several blue ribbons. Hailey said she read an article in poultry growers magazine that told her that chickens normally lay eggs on a schedule, she just has to figure out what her chickens schedule is. “I’m checking them every morning and every afternoon to find out when they lay,” she said. “But they’re laying kind of spotty right now.” Heidi is having better luck with her chickens’ production habits, even though this is a new

venture for the entire family. “We’ve never raised them,” said Heidi’s mom, Jill Lawson. “We have more experience with sheep.” All of them are enjoying the rewards of caring for the birds. “They’re sweet; you can just hold them,” Jill Lawson said. “Chickens have personality, believe it or not.” The only ones who aren’t sweet, Heidi said, are the roosters.

Haley Barbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community-wide tourism success happens for many reasons, and there often is a governmental official who is vital to that success. Recognizing that role is the purpose of this award, and Earlene Teasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership during the amazing evolution of Pigeon Forge obviously impressed this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judges,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Hardman, president and CEO of the Southeast Tourism Society. Creation of Winterfest was one of the accomplishments the judges acknowledged. Teaster

and others in Sevier County spearheaded the Winterfest movement that created a new season for tourism throughout the county. The four-month-long celebration allows formerly seasonal businesses to operate 12 months a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earlene Teasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of tourismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential and leadership in coordinating the plan to make it happen for her Smoky Mountains community has become a model for other regions around the world. She has been a champion

for her tourism venues and properties but has always been mindful of the needs of the visitor,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Whitaker, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, in her endorsement of Teasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination. Teaster started working for Pigeon Forge in 1961 as city clerk. She became the first female city manager in Tennessee in 1980 and was named the Tennessee City Management Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Manager of the Year in 2000.

Submitted Report CLINTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Clinch River Antiques Festival begins Oct. 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. The evening features family-friendly festivities such as wagon rides and musical entertainment. On Oct. 9 more than 80 antique dealers from across the region will line Market Street from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Again this year, history will come to life through a re-enactment of the 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Burr, first term vice president under Thomas Jefferson, shot Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, in a duel fueled by years of animosity between the political rivals and personal enemies. While a duel fought in New Jersey between two national leaders may seem to have little connection to Clinton, festival-goers will learn its significance to Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as they watch the duel play out and learn how the town of Burrville became todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinton. The re-enactment will take place at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 9 on the entertainment stage in Gazebo Park adjacent to Market Street. In addition to the antiques, there will be entertainment at the stage area in the park. Kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Korner is hosted by First Baptist Church. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities are open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and are free. Activities are open to children up to grade 6 and require the presence of a parent or guardian. For additional information call (865) 457-2559.
