PIGEON FORGE — Some current and former city officials are livid at what they say are baseless accusations that there might be foul play in negotiations over where a new wastewater treatment plant might go, saying the man leveling the charges is “grasping at straws” in an effort to make the city look bad.

While they concede a former mayor turned Realtor is the agent on one of the sites that might

become the facility’s home, they say there have been no inside deals on the still-unsettled issue and point out the price has actually decreased by almost half since the city started negotiating on the site.

Ralph Chance, who served on the City Commission and as mayor for several years, says he got his Realtor’s license about two years before he left the board in May of 2007. Having been in development for years, he saw the move as a logical one for the future of his career, he says.

As he remembers it, he was approached shortly thereafter by a group of out-of-state investors who were looking for a large tract in Pigeon Forge and near the river for a resort they planned to build. Chance started looking for properties and says he realized one on River Divide Road would be a great fit.

The land, a plot of more than 100 acres that includes a small hill and considerable bottom land on the river, belonged to Jess Davis, who still owns it.

Though Davis had his own plans

to potentially build rental cabins on the property, he said he’d be willing to consider negotiations with the men and agreed to let Chance list his land.

“He had it at a total of $21 million for three different listings,” Chance explains.

Those talks went nowhere, though, and Chance was left holding a listing from a less-thanmotivated seller. With his own hopes of building on the property that includes his personal home, Davis apparently wavered in his See CHANCE, Page A5

Old feud — new show

Hatfields and McCoys will take place of Black Bear Jamboree

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — It’s a feud that pitted neighbor against neighbor and state against state, and even landed in the Supreme Court before finally coming to a close thanks to America’s version of Romeo and Juliet.

And now it will be coming to life in Pigeon Forge.

After several years of success with the Black Bear Jamboree show, David Fee and Jim Hedrick, the men in charge of Fee-Hedrick Family Entertainment, say they’re calling an end to that production’s run.

In its place, they’re planning a complete overhaul both to the show and the theater that hosts it as they set the stage for a new presentation based on the legendary battle between the Hatfields and the McCoys.

The two men who have built an entertainment empire with shows such as Black Bear Jamboree, The Miracle and the Comedy Barn say they realize they’re taking a risk giving the axe to one of their most successful productions. Still, they believe they’re certain they’re betting on a winner with the revamp. “‘Black Bear’ was so popular and it has worked for a long, long time. It was not an easy

The two men insist there’s been no decrease in the Black Bear show’s popularity and know there will be some folks disappointed to see the end of a show they say is

unique in the industry.

Nonetheless, those people will only have until Oct. 30 to catch the regular show and from Nov. 2 through Jan. 1 to see the Christmas production for the last time, with the new one set to start in early spring.

After that, work will begin immediately to transform the simple

brick facade into one of the most intricately themed theaters in the area. Everything from the audience’s first introduction to the production to its last will reinforce the message of the feuding families, Fee-Hedrick Senior Vice President Leslie Thomas says.

“It will start in the parking lot where there

will even be different spots for the different families, so you’ll start out as either a Hatfield or a McCoy,” she explains.

“From there you’ll go in one of two separate doors for each family. When you get inside the theater, your server will greet you as, ‘Hey, cousin McCoy,’ See NEW SHOW, Page A3

Community shows ‘Pioneer’ spirit at Jones Cove Elementary

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer COSBY — Jones Cove Elementary School held its biggest fundraiser of the year, its popular Pioneer Day, on Saturday at the school.

“It’s more like a community day than just a school festival,” said parent Stacy Mynuk, who coordinated the event along with teachers Whitney Hammond and Sandi Estes. “People bake pies and cakes — everyone just pitches in.”

“Everybody’s on deck today!” Estes said with a laugh. “Nobody’s excused from missing this.”

The fall festival offered entertainment, including appearances by the Rocky Top Cloggers, Elizabeth Williams School of Dance, bluegrass band

face painting, inflatable playground equipment, hayrides and a cake walk;

a silent auction and “Big Country Store” (similar to a yard sale); and plenty of

barbecue, hot dogs, hamburgers and other treats supplied from various businesses and individuals.

“We’ve been coming to Pioneer Day for seven or eight years,” said Janis Collart, owner of Rocky Top Cloggers. “We like to participate and help out the school. We have dancers from ages 3 to 14 — some have been dancing for years, and some for just a couple of months.”

Hyuk, who has a daughter in seventh grade at the school, said that the event brings out anywhere from 200-300 people. It has raised as much as $10,000 in previous years. All proceeds go to benefit the general operations of Jones Cove.

One of a kind

SCEDC honors only chairman it has ever had

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — The man who has led the Sevier County Economic Development Council Board of Directors for every one of its meetings in its entire 24-year history was honored by the board Wednesday as he handed over the reins.

Jack Delozier made the move at the same time that he’s also transitioning out of the chairmanship of the county’s Industrial Development Board, which he has also helmed since serving as a charter member. His fellow board members called him a “giant” and “one of the smartest men you’d ever want to meet.”

Greystone Lodge owner Jack Miller, who is taking over as chairman, said he considers it an honor both to have served with Delozier and to have the chance to pay tribute to the man whose shoes he says he could never hope to fill. He read from a proclamation from the board appreciating Delozier’s service.

The document painted out Delozier is a 1941 graduate of Sevier County High School, a veteran of the U.S. Navy and the former superintendent of Sevier County Electric System. It also recounted how Delozier, unanimously elected chairman at the group’s first meeting in 1986, played a key part in establishing the Hodsden-Hicks Industrial Park, John L. Marshall Technology Park and Smith Thomas Technology Park.

Additionally, Miller recalled the role Delozier played in recruiting a

Council Executive Director Allen Newton

agreed he hopes Delozier will continue to offer the board “priceless counsel” in the coming years.

“Jack Delozier is one of the smartest men you’d ever want to meet,” Newton said. “I haven’t been here all 24 years, but I can tell you Jack has always given this board great advice and, the times we didn’t follow it, we’ve wished we would have. You’re not done yet, Jack.”

As for Delozier himself, he demurred at all the attention, opting not to speak, although he did

“Sit down,” Delozier joked, waving his arms toward the ground.

“You’re cutting into my speech time.”

The group presented Delozier with a rustic rocking chair that Newton said would enable him to enjoy his retirement from the board.

The council also received reports on several projects it has been involved in recently during the Wednesday morning session.

In the effort to secure additional land for a new industrial park, the group has selected a site it hopes to purchase. At current, they’re working with the state to determine if there would be funding available for infrastructure improvements to make the property suitable for such development.

Newton also told them construction on the Lisega plant on East Dumplin Valley Road is progression, with the walls and the roof likely to be completed soon.

The group is also working with the state to make improvements in that area, with plans to widen the road and reinforce a bridge in the area. Additionally, sewer service will have to be expanded in the area and the board has been granted easements by the owners of the properties that will have to be crossed by the lines. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

NEW SHOW 3From Page A1

or, ‘Howdy, brother Hatfield.’ You’ll be encouraged in the rivalry and they’ll kind of tell you, ‘Oh, don’t look over at those people on that side. They’re no good.’”

That reinvention of the front of the theater, originally built by another group to host comedy shows, is something the Fee-Hedrick folks have been talking about for about eight years since they first bought the structure, Hedrick says.

In fact, at the time they acquired the property they debated between introducing the Black Bear or the feud show first, eventually settling on the singing and dancing revue that features animatronic bears.

Based on an artist’s depiction, the new front will look like typical mountain homes with a barn in between. The names Hatfield and McCoy will appear on the two structures, which are set to be surrounded by theme elements like a water tower and even livestock. That motif will continue inside, where what Fee says will be the largest moonshine still in the world — thought it won’t be a working one — will fill part of the lobby.

Once the audience is seated in the new show they’ll be served dinner, which will harken to the Black Bear days with a similar menu likely to include chicken, ribs and the creamy vegetable soup the attraction is now known for, Fee says.

“We may add a fun twist for dessert like possum pie or something,” Hedrick jokes.

The show itself will tell the story of the rival clans, from the start of the battles to their end with a romance that wed the two families. There will be music, choreography, comedy and even a few stunts to wow the crowd, Fee says.

Of course, there will be parts of the oftenbloody, generations-long contention that will be glossed over, the men

admit.

“We’re focused on a more-fun version of the story,” Hedrick says.

Not all the details of the show have actually been hammered out, with the storyline itself still on the drawing board, though the men brush off any worries about the time they have to get the work done, pointing out they got the Black Bear show ready in just three months.

“We’ve got plenty of time,” Hedrick says, waving his hand as if to dismiss the concern.

While the specifics may not be worked out, both men agree there’s a good chance the popular animatronic bears will at least make a cameo in the new production, though perhaps not in the stage wing caves they now inhabit.

Though the actual feud took place in the mountains on the West Virginia and Kentucky border, prompted often by seemingly silly squabbles and even provoking the two states to take sides, Fee and Hedrick believe the story is still a good fit for East Tennessee.

“It is a part of southern Appalachian history.

It is a part of American history that has been spoofed since media has been around,” Hedrick says. “Since it happened in Appalachia, we think it ties in well for our area.”

The men say their past and current successes have made them confident this new production will prove a winner, too.

“We’re the leader in the entertainment industry in this town,” Fee says, as Hedrick jokes they also lead in humility. “We will always continue to innovate and we will always continue to take risks. We believe we have a show here that will enable us to continue to be a leader for the next 20 years.”

STATE/NATION/WORLD BRIEFS McWherter continues Haslam assault

NASHVILLE (AP) — Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam’s stance on handgun permits is the subject of a new television ad launched by his Democratic opponent Mike McWherter on Saturday.

The McWherter ad running in the Memphis, Nashville and Knoxville markets says Haslam would allow “convicted felons and domestic abusers to carry a gun, no questions asked.”

The spot comes after Haslam told a gun rights group that he would sign into law a measure to eliminate requirements to obtain a state-issued permit to carry handguns in public.

About 300,000 people have handgun carry permits in Tennessee. To qualify, they must pass a background check and a gun safety course. Permits can be revoked for felony convictions or suspended in domestic violence cases.

Haslam has since stressed that he wants to keep the current system as it is, but wouldn’t veto legislative efforts to eliminate permit requirements.

Celine Dion gives birth to twin boys

NEW YORK (AP) — Celine Dion has given birth to twin boys, finally realizing her dream of being a mother again after a long struggle to become pregnant.

A statement released by St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., said that the 42-year-old superstar singer delivered the boys Saturday afternoon. One boy weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces, while the other weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces. No names have been announced.

Dion and her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, are already the parents of one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles.

But Dion had long wanted to have more children, and, like with her first child, she had difficulty becoming pregnant.

She has spoken openly about her struggles, undergoing several rounds of in-vitro fertilization.

Seven die in soccer stampede

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Seven fans died in a stampede Saturday while trying to enter a stadium where a football match between two of Kenya’s most popular teams was being played, the Kenya Red Cross said.

Six people died when they were run over by the crowd outside Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, and one died after being taken to Kenyatta National

Hospital, said Red Cross spokesman Titus Mungo’u.

Jack Oguda, the CEO of the Kenya Premier League, said he did not know why fans couldn’t get into the stadium properly because it wasn’t full.

13 massacred at Juarez party

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Gunmen stormed two neighboring homes and massacred 13 young people at a birthday party in the latest large-scale attack in this violent border city, even as a new government strategy seeks to restore order with social programs and massive police deployments.

Attackers in two vehicles pulled up to the houses in a lower-middle-class Ciudad Juarez neighborhood late Friday and opened fire on about four dozen partygoers gathered for a 15-year-old boy’s birthday party.

Brand, Perry tie the knot in India

RANTHAMBHORE NATIONAL PARK, India (AP) — Comedian Russell Brand and pop star Katy Perry were married Saturday in northwestern India, the couple confirmed in a statement.

A Christian minister and longtime friend of Perry’s family performed a “private and spiritual ceremony,” which was attended by family members and close friends, said the statement released by the couple’s representatives.

File says Iraqi death count was low

WASHINGTON (AP) — Military documents laid bare in the biggest leak of secret information in U.S. history suggest that far more Iraqis died than previously acknowledged during the years of sectarian bloodletting and criminal violence unleashed by the American-led invasion in 2003.

The accounts of civilian deaths among nearly 400,000 purported Iraq war logs released Friday by the WikiLeaks website include deaths unknown or unreported before now — as many as 15,000 by the count of one independent research group.

The field reports from U.S. forces and intelligence officers also indicate U.S. forces often failed to follow up on credible evidence that Iraqi forces mistreated, tortured and killed their captives as they battled a violent insurgency.

Coast Guard checks discolored water near Louisiana NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Coast Guard said Saturday that an area of discolored water near a Mississippi River pass south of New Orleans appears to be an algae bloom, but another spot 10 miles away could be oil.

Jeff Hall, spokesman for the Unified Area Command, said tests could determine if the suspected oil is from the BP spill.

The Coast Guard sent two flights over the West Bay area near Venice on Saturday. Two boats also went out to check the waters.

Hall told The Associated Press that tests

will be done Monday on water samples from an area where a marine investigator believes there’s an algae bloom near Venice. The area of discolored water there was about 2.5 miles long and 300 yards wide, Hall said.

About 10 miles away, Hall said a crew spotted what appears “some kind of silvery, weathered oil.” The crew in that area didn’t have a sampling kit but investigators could go back out and take samples that could be tested to determine whether it’s oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill, he said.

Reba donates $60K to rural school

SPAVINAW, Okla. (AP) — Officials in the rural northeastern Oklahoma town of Spavinaw say a $60,000 donation from country legend Reba McEntire will help keep the local school district afloat.

Superintendent Guy Alloway says the school, built in the late 1920s, was on the verge of closing and “$60,000 in the hole” before the gift from McEntire, an Oklahoma native. The pre-kindergarten-througheighth-grade school has 130 students and like other Oklahoma districts is struggling with deep state budget cuts.

Each grade in the school, along with the Beta Club, puts together a basket with a theme for the silent auction. This year’s baskets included everything from John Deere and camping to family night.

cision to sell the land.

Still, the “for sale” signs stayed up even as Chance moved from Kimble & Chance Realty to Marty Loveday and Associates.

However, it wasn’t until after Chance left the commission that two key parts of the accusations came about, he says.

First, while he was part of planning for the city’s Central Business Improvement District and Tourism Development Zone, Chance says the final documents on those matters weren’t settled until after he left office. That includes one proposal which Chance says is inexplicably being pointed to as something sinister in the matter that includes plans for a new wastewater treatment plant in the city and a proposal of how it will be funded. However, neither that information nor any other produced by the city has named a definite location for the wastewater plant.

“There just hasn’t been anything that set a site for it because the City Commission has not yet decided where the plant will

be,” City Manager Earlene Teaster says. “It doesn’t make sense to say there’s something out there Ralph signed that says the Davis property will be the site because we haven’t decided.”

Additionally, neither proposal setting up the special economic districts includes the Davis property, with Chance arguing it wouldn’t have made since to include the vacant land in the areas.

More than that, the city hadn’t even seriously considered Davis’ land as a potential home for the facility until after Chance left the commission, the former mayor maintains.

“I didn’t approach them on it. The city was looking for large tracts near the river and they approached me about Jess’ land,” Chance says. “There haven’t been any promises made by either side. I don’t work that way.”

Chance says he told Davis he should probably take himself out of the equation altogether when the city became interested in the land as one of three final options. Davis resisted, he says.

“He told me, ‘You’ve been

on this for three years and it wouldn’t be fair to pull you off of it now. You’re going to stay with it,’” Chance recalls.

Finally, the usually quiet Chance nearly roars as he talks about his anger over the suggestion he’s convinced Davis to push the price up since the city became interested in the land in order to drive up the commission he’ll get if the land sells. Quite the opposite is actually true, he maintains, with negotiations between the city, and Chance and Davis pushing the tab down.

“The price has actually gone (down) about $8 million for the whole property,” Chance says. “It’s gone from $21 million to about $13 million.”

And that may not be the

end. During a recent work session, Davis indicated he’s willing to negotiate further with the city if it means helping the area get a new wastewater plant and dodging a potential development moratorium that could stifle the city and Davis’ own development plans.

In the end, Chance offers his own opinion on what has motivated one man, who has become a constant critic of Pigeon Forge’s leadership, to suggest something untoward in the talks.

“He’s just grasping at straws trying anything he can to make the city look bad, even if it’s nowhere near the truth,” Chance says. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

Johnson City hopes to renovate historic depot JOHNSON CITY (AP) — The Johnson City Commission has voted to apply for a state grant to renovate a century-old downtown railroad depot.

Commissioners voted Thursday to apply for a $1.2 million Tennessee Department of Transportation Enhancement Grant. The cost of renovating the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway depot is expected to be $1.5 million.

The terminal was completed in 1908. It has been idle and neglected for years

and The Johnson City Press reports the building is listed by the Tennessee Historical Trust as one of the state’s 10 most endangered structures.

Suzanne Kuehn, executive director of the Johnson City Development Authority, told commissioners Thursday the plan is for the renovated depot to pay its own way.

Asked by commission member Phil Carriger for more information, Kuehn said, “We have a bicycle company interested as well as artists who would rent space, and we will have a

full-service restaurant that will pay for the privilege of being there.”

The first floor of the depot would be used for a railroad history exhibit, a cafe and space for vendors and local farmers to sell their produce. The second floor would be used primarily for offices.

The development authority and the Johnson City Arts Council intend to put a business incubator in the former warehouse or passenger area of the depot. It would be aimed at spawning small businesses for local artists and crafts

In warmer months, the farm market would move outdoors under covered train boarding platforms.

An information center, public restrooms and a bicycle rental and repair shop are also planned.

Commissioners also approved a procedural matter that allows the development authority to withdraw $212,000 from the bank so work can begin on the depot roof to help stabilize the building.

commentary

Decision to leave school was Willard’s These things you need to know about David Willard’s resignation from Arrowmont: It was his decision, it was made after lots of thought, he does not leave mad or on bad terms with the board, he is still a huge fan of the arts and crafts school, and he plans to stay involved in the arts in some way.

You also need to know he’s home for several more days recovering from rotator cuff surgery last Tuesday. That was a day after his resignation was effective.

Willard, who had been executive director of Arrowmont since 2001, got the school through the difficult period of distancing itself from Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women and deciding whether to stay in Gatlinburg or leave for Greeneville.

“I thought it was time to let somebody else take the reins,” he said.

Willard is officially gone from Arrowmont, He’ll recover at home from surgery for another week, then meet with staff to help in the transition. But he is no longer the director. He has an agreement with longtime friend Geoff Wolpert, the newly elected president of the Arrowmont Board of Governors, to help some in the transition. Willard thinks the search for his replacement should be conducted nationwide. The position will be attractive and draw great candidates, he feels.

Willard has presided over the famed school during some of its most difficult times. About two years ago the directors of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity decided to sell the Arrowmont land to a developer, who planned a $500 million complex of hotels, stores, restaurants and a water park. That got Arrowmont’s attention. If the land sold, Arrowmont would have to relocate. The way it was handled didn’t please local people either.

That started a wild ride that led Arrowmont to seriously consider moving. It fielded offers from several cities and narrowed its choices down to Knoxville, Greeneville and Gatlinburg, Knoxville got eliminated, so it was between two cities.

Willard, as the prime spokesman for Arrowmont, made it clear the school needed a constant and assured flow of money as well as help buying the land if it were to stay put.

It got those promises, and the board voted in August to remain in Gatlinburg.

That seemed, to Willard, a good jumpingoff point. Things came together — the site, growing independence from Pi Beta Phi and his own yearnings for something new and challenging.

“We’ve done great work, and the community has been fantastic, but I’m not finished in my career yet. I’ve done a lot of things in my 30-plus-year career, and Arrowmont is the current one. I am really passionate about the arts, and there has been something boiling inside me for a long time.”

That something is a way to combine arts and education. He is especially enamored with handmade arts, and he, like many other people, fear that when money is tight, artsrelated classes and programs are among the first things to be eliminated.

“We’re not just a society of technology,” he said. “While that’s important, there is still value in so many different things.”

Willard has developed lots of friends and contacts in the art world over the years and he’s making some calls. He is intrigued by a proposal under consideration to develop a “Sesame Street”-like television program aimed at arts education. But frankly, he’s not rushing into anything. His next career move is a while away.

He remains pleased by the work Arrowmont has done and the steps it has taken. He supported the decision to remain in Gatlinburg.

“Arrowmont has been a treasure in Gatlinburg for a long time, and there is a long tradition and sense of place about this school. But it’s been unrecognized locally. It was not known by many people,” he said.

However, with the memorandum of understanding with the city and other officials, and the support generated by the possibility Arrowmont might leave, what Willard calls “an amazing groundswell” resulted that saw Arrowmont embraced.

“Maybe it was the prospect of losing Arrowmont that brought them to it,” Willard said. “Whatever the reason, it got them to focus attention and care on the school, and the desire for the school was heartfelt.”

Maybe whomever is chosen will produce as strong a record of accomplishment as Willard has.

Editorial

Lone voices

Not enough officials asked questions before WSCC money commitment The near unanimous approval by local governments in funding a proposed fourth building on the Walters State Community College campus has been a bit surprising. Considering the budget challenges facing all local governments, you’d have thought such an unexpected request might have been met with more questions. Not so.

Only two elected officials have voiced concerns: County Commissioner Tim Hurst and Pigeon Forge City Commissioner Randal Robinson. They should be commended for doing so.

Public officials ought to ask questions and voice concerns, even if they are practically alone in their opinions. Of course, at times some officials persist in opposition and resistance long after they have been proven wrong.

Walters State is asking the cities of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville to commit to $200,000 each and county government $400,000 to match an $8 million gift from the state to pay for a new build-

ing on the Sevierville campus. The money requires a 15 percent local match. The college has promised to raise $200,000 privately to meet the $1.2 million commitment. The request came late, with an Oct. 30 deadline, because it took the Tennessee Board of Regents until late September to set up the rules for applying for the money.

This is a highly competitive process. Community colleges across the state are fighting for $80 million in money made available through some federal stimulus funds set aside by the Legislature. The chance to have the state pay for a building on campus after local people and governments paid for everything else is enticing.

The concern, though, is paying the local match. Our governments are strapped like almost all others.

They have trimmed expenses and cut departments and delayed buying some needed supplies in order to balance budgets.

Walters State officials also couldn’t

seem to agree on what they needed the new building for. Former president Jack Campbell, who is making the rounds in Sevier County asking for money, told the Pigeon Forge City Commission the building would be used for things entirely different from what current President Wade McCamey told The Mountain Press last week. McCamey’s stated plans for the building make sense. He wants it for health-related programs and classes, including two new offerings: respiratory care and surgical technician.

You can’t fault the college in all this.

It’s an unprecedented opportunity for money to build a facility, a chance that may never come again.

To approve the request without asking lots of questions and pinpointing the source of the money was not commendable. That’s why Hurst and Robinson are due credit for raising issues and voicing concerns, Neither had any support on their boards, but that shouldn’t matter.

Editor: Recently I have had the opportunity to work with the Sevier County Election Commission by assisting with early voting. I would like to share a moving and inspiring observation.

I saw a young woman in a wheelchair come to vote, and a son brought his mother who has a constant need for oxygen. We assisted her by finding a chair for her to sit on while her paperwork was processed.

I saw six people with walkers that had wheels and one day I saw eight people with canes.

One lady who is over 90 brought her magnifying glass to use along with her eyeglasses so she could see the ballot.

Many people brought someone along to

May I remind everyone that it is not our place to judge people or their situations, especially when we have no real knowledge or facts about what may or may not have happened. I happen to know this man well. I personally know him to be a good man, respected and well liked.

No human being is exempt from making poor choices or bad decisions. I only speak for myself when I say anyone who knows Wrong to be so judgmental this man would not be so quick to judge him, much less condemn him by labeling him as a in assessing one’s troubles drunk or making comments that only diminEditor: ish their own character.

McClain, UT’s first black player, and roommate reminisce in Gatlinburg

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor

GATLINBURG — 1968 was a turbulent time in the United States.

The Vietnam War was at its height. Both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were killed, and AfricanAmericans throughout the country were struggling to achieve the rights assured them four years earlier by the passage of the Civil Rights Act. And, on Sept. 14, 1968, Lester McClain became the first black football player for the University of Tennessee.

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL

Tide crashes down on Vols

By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer KNOXVILLE — A 21-point thirdquarter explosion by the visiting No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide blew a three-point game wide open and dealt the upset-minded University of Tennessee Volunteers a lopsided 41-10 loss at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night in Knoxville.

In what has become a trend for the 2010 season, the Vols were able to hang tough with a heavy favorite for at least a half before fading in dramatic fashion down the stretch.

Tennessee’s running game got them out in front early, and a bendbut-don’t-break first half defense kept the Vols in just a three-point hole, 13-10, at intermission despite

being outgained by nearly 100 yards — 251 yards of total offense for Alabama, compared to 167 for the Vols.

UT junior running back Tauren Poole powered the first-half offense, rushing for 97 yards on just eight carries, most of it coming with one run on Tennessee’s second possession of the night.

Poole hit paydirt on a 59-yard scamper up the middle with a cut to the outside on 2nd-and-1 with 8:44 remaining in the first, beating the Alabama secondary to the left-side pylon on the play. Freshman kicker Michael Palardy’s point-after kick gave the big underdog Big Orange an early 7-0 lead.

Tennessee held a four-point lead by the end of the first and trailed

by just three points at the half, but the Tide rolled over the Vols in the third quarter with a pair of one-yard TD runs by junior RB Mark Ingram and a 65-yard dash to the end zone by sophomore RB Trent Richardson, giving Alabama a 34-10 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Tide finished the night with 536 yards of total offense, including 264 yards passing by senior quarterback Greg McElroy on 21-of-32 passing.

Alabama junior receiver Julio Jones had a staggering 221 yards on 12 catches, although he never found the end zone on Saturday night.

Richardson finished the night with 119 yards on 12 carries, and Ingram See TIDAL WAVE, Page A10

SEYMOUR — Friday night, the Seymour Eagles came of age.

It wasn’t their first win of the season, or their first conference win, but there were a couple of important firsts that signaled that these Eagles are ready to fly.

First, they scored in all four quarters. While past games were marked with scoring droughts, including a 14 quarter midseason slump, Friday night against the Cherokee Chiefs, the Eagles were able to get some consistency out of their offense, despite the loss of Cory Clark in the third quarter.

Second, when the Chiefs scored late in the fourth quarter, taking the lead for the first time, the Eagles didn’t panic, didn’t despair, and didn’t get frustrated. Instead, they launched a three-play, 70-yard touchdown drive to win the game.

Next, this game saw the sophomores step up big, and show a little of what they’ll be capable of next season.

Branson White had a nifty kickoff return to open the second half.

Hayden Brooks had a

couple of strong tackles.

D.J. Griffin broke up a potential touchdown with a perfectly timed leap, on Cherokees first drive when they were deep in the red zone and ready to score. Corey Heard sacked the Cherokee QB on fourth down, ending another scoring threat.

But it isn’t just the youngsters stepping up.

Colton Flynn and Eric White dominated on defense, and the improvement in the offensive line meant big holes for Lee Knight, and Kevin Kennedy, and gave plenty of time for Dustin Fain to find Cory Clark.

But the biggest marker was how they handled success. After scoring the final time, the game wasn’t over. The defense had to come out onto the field one more time and stop the Chiefs. They rose to the challenge, forcing Cherokee to go four and out.

The offense drove for a first down on four plays, with the Chiefs doing everything they could to get the stop. As coach Jim Moore said after the game, “We talked about this all week. We knew we would have to play for all 48 minutes and we did it.”

Kevin Kennedy summed it up just a little bit differently — “The Eagles are back, baby!” he said.

Next week, the Eagles close out the regular season at home, against Morristown West. mpsports@themountainpress.com

Lester McClain, Wilma Maples and John Rippetoe share a laugh Saturday about the group’s Thanksgiving 42 years ago.

MCCLAIN

3From Page A8

Volunteers roommate, John Rippetoe, shared insight into those days over 40 years ago, when the kid from Antioch High School in Nashville helped demolish the color barrier and reshape the Southeastern Conference.

IN THE BEGINNING While McClain wasn’t the first black player in the SEC, the two that came before him — Kentucky’s Greg Page and Nat Northington — had their careers end in tragedy.

Page broke his neck in a practice drill and never suited up for the ‘Cats.

Distraught, Northington played in just four games before leaving school brokenhearted over Page’s death 38 days after the injury.

McClain arrived in Knoxville in the fall of 1967, likely recruited primarily to be the roommate for Albert Davis, a promising black fullback from Alcoa.

In a surprising twist, Davis failed to qualify academically, leaving McClain to become the Vols’ first black player alone.

Freshmen didn’t play in varsity games in that era of SEC football, so McClain’s first chance to don the Orange and White as player didn’t come until the fall of 1968.

Moving into the athletic dorms with the upperclassmen was a nerve-racking time for the racially-isolated McClain. “I think my biggest worry was I didn’t know who my roommate was going to be,� McClain said Saturday in a parlor of the Inn where the UT tune “Rocky Top� was crafted in 1967. “I had just hoped it was someone who wanted to room with me. I knew no one came to UT to play college football and room with a black roommate.�

Fortunately for McClain, fate — or perhaps divine intervention — had just the roommate for him.

John Rippetoe was a little-used former All-State quarterback from Johnson City who was most-likely the perfect choice of roommate for the receiver from Nashville.

Rippetoe had been a part of the first integrated class of Science Hill High School. “I played for two years with a group of talented black athletes (as a Hilltopper),� Rippetoe said. “And we were like a family. “Coming to UT, where there weren’t any (black players), that was somewhat of a surprise.�

But, his junior year when he checked into the athletic dorms, things had changed. “I asked ‘who’s my roommate?’ and they said ‘Lester McClain.’�

LIVING AND PLAYING TOGETHER Rippetoe said he was pleased to learn McClain would be his roommate.

After all, what better way for a quarterback to improve than to have a top-notch pass-catcher to practice with.

But then, Rippetoe thought, what if Lester didn’t want to room with him? “I only knew (John) in passing,� McClain said. “And I never knew how wonderful the character of John Rippetoe was, until we became roommates.�

But McClain was satisfied with his new roommate nonetheless, if not just for one simple reason. “It was nice to know that John had a record player,�

McClain said. “He taught me how to appreciate rhythm and blues and soul music,�

Rippetoe said with a smile.

On the field, things were good for McClain from the start, despite some initial worries. “I’d heard stories about Warren McVea (University of Houston running back) coming to Knoxville (in 1965) and things being thrown from the stands at him,� McClain said.

But when he took the

field for the first time Sept.

14, 1968 against Georgia, things were different. “I entered the game, and I got a standing ovation,� he said. “Now that’s major.

You have to set the stage for success, and I think the Tennessee fans set the stage for success. “You enter the game, and you haven’t done anything and they applaud you,� he continued. “You’re usually not aware of much that goes on, but I was aware of that happening.“ McClain rewarded the fans for their loyalty to the Big Orange, and grabbed his first catch later in the contest — a fourth down grab that extended the drive that allowed the Vols to come back and tie the Bulldogs 17-17. “When I look at it I realize that was bigger than my first touchdown catch,�

McClain said. “It kept the drive alive for us to get the tie.�

McClain’s first score came nearly a month later against Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

Earning his first start, thanks in part to an injury regular starter Gary Kreis, McClain made an early flub in the game, dropping a wide open pass.

Coach Doug Dickey yanked him. “I ran to coach Dickey and said ‘Don’t pull me out of the game, I’m going to catch the ball, just give me a chance!’ He said ‘just relax.’�

Later in the game, after hearing it from the Georgia Tech student section, McClain did get another chance.

But just before the half, with McClain back in, Kreis was sent in the game to send him back to the bench. “The play was called for (wing back Bill) Baker, but he’s throwing up,�

McClain said. “The heat’s got him and he’s sick as a dog. So when Kreis comes in to bring in the play, I send Baker out, I take his position, and I catch my first touchdown pass,� he laughed. “That was my first

Sevier County cross country runners and coaches celebrate a good effort at the IMAC meet this week.

Bears finish regular season well NEWPORT — The Sevier County High School cross country team finished the regular season with a very strong showing at the IMAC conference championship Thursday at Cocke County.

In a talent-laden division including state champs Morristown West.

The SCHS girl’s team finished second overall while the boys team placed third. “This was a good meet for us and hopefully a springboard for the regional contest next week,� said SCHS head coach Dan Hanlon.

Leading the pack for the girls team were Hannah Pelham, who finished sec-

ond overall and Makayla May, who was 10th.

Patrick Hanlon led the boys squad with a seventh place overall finish.

All three were named to the all-conference team.

Also scoring points for the speedy Bears were Brandon Laws, Corey Ramsey, William Winborn and Adam Davis. “All our scoring varsity are either freshmen or sophomores,� said Hanlon. “This bodes well for the future of cross country at SCHS.�

Also running and rounding out the boys team were Arnaud Cavalletto, Austin Greenlee, John Burke, Cody Kesterson, Parker

Maples, Tyler Hounshell, Tyler Stinnett, Ryan Indelicato and Mason Hodge.

Scoring points on the girls team were Courtney Kirby, Lisa Burke and Shaelyn Baggett.

Rounding out the field were Skylar Trent, Charlsey Bush, Callie Hill, Kate Benjamin and Moriah Rognerud. “These girls have done a tremendous job this year,� said Hanlon.

The Bears varsity runners will compete in the regional contest next Thursday at Daniel Boone High School in Johnson City.

run left Tennessee in a 4th-and-25 at their own 9.

Bray stayed in the game for one more firsthalf possession and completed a 15-yard pass to senior receiver Gerald Jones for a UT first down at its own 39, but that’s as good as it would get for the freshman signal caller, who finished the first half 1-of-6 passing.

Alabama made it 13-7 on a 42-yard Shelley field goal with just 52 seconds in the half, but UT responded quickly.

Poole rushed three times for 36 yards, and Simms — back in the game — connected on a 23-yard pass to freshman wideout Da’Rick Rogers and a sevenyarder to senior tight end Luke Stocker to set up Palardy’s 33-yard kick as time expired, pulling the Vols to within three points again, 13-10, heading into the locker rooms.

Alabama added a final

score with 7:40 in the fourth quarter when back-up freshman quarterback A.J. McCarron found Richardson for a five-yard TD. Freshman back-up kicker Cade Foster’s PAT kick made it the eventual final.

Bray re-entered the game for UT with 57 seconds remaining in the third quarter and finished the night 5-of-14 passing for 39 yards with an interception thrown to sohomore defensive back B.J. Scott on a 4thand-3 at the Alabama 32 with 3:39 in regulation.

Bray was also sacked on 4th-and-goal from the 6 with just 8 seconds on the fourth-quarter clock, ending the Vols night short of a final touchdown chance.

Tennessee next plays at South Carolina with a 12:21 p.m. kickoff scheduled for this coming Saturday.

Poole was limited to just 20 second-half yards and finished the night with 117 yards on 14 carries for UT. Tennessee junior quarterback Matt Simms led the team with 117 yards on 12-of-22 passing, and the Vols finished the night with 315 yards of total offense.

After Tennessee’s opening score, Alabama answered immediately with a 10-play, 56-yard drive ending with a 36-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Jeremy Shelley and cutting the Vols lead to 7-3 with 4:04 in the first quarter.

The Tide got their first lead of the night early in the second period when McElroy capped a nine-play, 59-yard drive with a one-yard sneak on 1st-and-goal with 14:42 until intermission.

Shelley’s kick made it 10-7 Alabama, and the Tide never trailed again.

UT freshman quarterback Tyler Bray took the field to a round of cheers from the Neyland crowd on the ensuing possession, but it was short lived as the drive went nowhere after three Vols flags, two incompletions and a three-yard Poole

Rippetoe continued. “Lester and I were known for big appetites. And it was after practice and we were kind of on the hungry side. “So here we are sitting at this big old table and Roy, the chef at the time, brings out these little plates with the silver dome over top of them and started laying them out in front of all of us. “Of course Lester and I are looking at it, and we’re not going to touch anything until somebody else starts setting an example. So Rel takes his top off his plate and the rest of us did the same. Lester looks at me and says ‘Dang, Johnny, this is the scrawniest looking turkey I’ve ever seen.’ They were cornish hens.� “So he lost it at the table right off the bat,� McClain said, giving a healthy chuckle. “He just busted out laughing.� “I told (Wilma) this morning, first thing, that she gave me class that I’d never had before. Now I have people over and I’m the king of preparing cornish hens, everybody loves my cornish hens — little skinny turkeys,� McClain said. mpsports@themountainpress.com

No. 14 Nebraska outlasts Oklahoma State 51-41

By JEFF LATZKE AP College Football Writer STILLWATER, Okla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Taylor Martinez went from running himself into the Heisman Trophy race to getting benched, only to reemerge as a sudden passing sensation.

Martinez set a Nebraska freshman record with 323 yards passing, threw a career-high five touchdown passes and the 14th-ranked Cornhuskers knocked No. 17 Oklahoma State from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 51-41 win on Saturday.

Martinez, who came in trailing only Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denard Robinson in yards rushing by a quarterback, showed off his arm while also running for 112 yards on 19 carries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen him do it day after day. I promise you heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different now than he was going into this game,â&#x20AC;? coach Bo Pelini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this game hopefully will keep giving him more confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He threw it all over the field. He made some great throws in that game, and he showed what we knew he was capable of doing.

He can hurt you with his feet. He can hurt you with his arm.â&#x20AC;?

Brandon Kinnie caught the first three touchdown passes of his career, including an 8-yard lob from Martinez that made it 51-34 in the final 5 minutes. Martinez finished 23 for 35 and ended up with bigger passing totals than Oklahoma Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Weeden, who had been second in the nation with 327.6 yards per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finally showed everybody else that we can throw the ball like this instead of us just dropping back and running,â&#x20AC;? Martinez said.

Martinez had only three touchdown passes and had never thrown for more than 150 yards in his first six starts. He even got benched in favor of Zac Lee after the Cornhuskers fell behind Texas in a 20-13 loss last week.

He proved more than capable of picking on an Oklahoma State defense ranked 114th in the country against the pass, easily eclipsing 2001 Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 193 yards passing that had been the Nebraska freshman record.

Time to put ‘not tourist’ T-shirt to rest

It is a neon, lime green T-shirt with big, red script letters that read “I am NOT a tourist!!!” and it is brought out for special occasions such as visits to Dollywood or one of the other myriad attractions that bring 12 million visitors here each year.

Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against these folks who are the economic backbone of our community. Without the millions of dollars they spend renting our motel rooms, cabins and time shares, eating in our restaurants and visiting our attractions, what would we be?

Podunk County?

They take pictures of everything. They buy souvenir trinkets and knickknacks, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets and ball caps like they precious metals. If it says “Smoky Mountains” or “Gatlinburg” or “Pigeon Forge” on it, they’ll buy it.

Not me. Oh, no, not me. Tourist is one label that will never be pinned on me.

Well, the tourist shoe is on the other foot now. And that shoe is big enough to fit Shaquille O’Neal.

Although we’ve been married for a year, my wife Tammy and I just returned from our official honeymoon, a seven-day cruise to the inside passage of Alaska. Look up the word “tourist” in the next edition of Funk & Wagnall’s Dictionary, and I guarantee a picture of us decked out in some of our Alaska garb will be next to it.

Let’s start with the pictures. Tammy took 1,200 pictures. That not a misprint. One thousand, two hundred. Well, maybe only 1,150, because she — we— asked other folks to take pictures of us together in front of everything from the cruise line terminal to both the glaciers we saw.

To her credit, Tammy has been judicious in editing those 1,200 pictures down to about 600 for our photo albums, and only about 300 of them are duplicates. (Of course, the photo album also includes pictures the cruise line staff took of us on the boat at a cost of about $20 a pop — just in case we hadn’t taken enough on our own.)

But that’s not being touristy. Not at all.

Now let’s talk about the souvenir trinkets and knickknacks, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets and ball caps — not to mention the miniature totem-poles, key chains, pencils and Christmas tree ornaments — we bought.

Let’s see. We visited Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Prince Rupert and Vancouver, B.C. And we bought souvenir trinkets and knickknacks, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets and ball caps from Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Prince Rupert and Vancouver, B.C. But it wasn’t because we were being tourists. We were on the last cruise of the year and the gift shops, especially in Ketckikan, Juneau and Skagway had reduced prices of up to 60 percent. How could we afford not to buy these timeless mementos?

There were times, we admit, when we had to break down and reluctantly admit we were doing touristy things. After all, we had scrimped and saved for a year for this adventure.

In Ketchikan, the most beautiful town we visited, we toured the Totem Pole National Museum, as well as a bald eagle rehab center and salmon spawnery.

On our way to Juneau, we passed through beautiful Glacier Bay and came within a quarter-mile of Sawyer Glacier. In Juneau, we went on an unforgettable whale-watching expedition and saw humpback and killer whales, seals, bald eagles and other wildlife, and also visited Mendenhall Glacier.

In Skagway, we rode a train built in 1902, 21.8 miles up an old gold-miner line. While Tammy stood on the outside platform click, click, clicking away, I sat in my seat inside staring at the seat in front of me because the dropoff to the left was straight down and to say the tracks were about as stable as Wall Street in a depression.

On the Norwegian Star, the food — most of which was free as part of our package— and the entertainment were awesome. Twice, we saw a Frankie Valley tribute group, a Second City comedy troupe and a Cirque Pacifica act similar to our Cirque de Chine.

When it was time to disembark, it was touch and go if we were going to have to leave some of the clothes we had brought along behind. After all, we had souvenir trinkets and knickknacks, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets and ball caps purchased only because they were 60 percent off.

Sadly, there’s no denying it. We had become tourists. It’s time to retire the neon, lime green T-shirt.

Raises money for Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries

Submitted Report The Bob Hamill Variety Show is looking for entertainers off all ages to join the troupe.

“If you have the itch to entertain this is the place for you” said Hamill, who is also the show’s producer, The show is a group of entertainers, young and old, amateur, semi-professional and professional showpeople who put on shows for charitable

causes.

The purpose of the show is twofold. It give places such as senior assisted living homes, hospitals and other organizations that need entertainment but can’t afford it, a truly enjoyable afternoon or evening show.

It gives young entertainers a place to hone their craft. It gives them a chance to be in front of an audience and behind a microphone. It gives them a chance to be mentored

by semi-professional and professional entertainers.

It gives them a chance to grow as entertainers.

Over the years charities such a MDA, Easter Seals and the March Of Dimes to name a few have

benefited from The Bob Hamill Variety Show.

On a recent show at the Sevier Senior Center it drew more people than any other event.

Alfred Reagan was no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;averageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mountain man

By Theresa Williams He was around 8 years old when his father, David L. Reagan, died in the Union Army at Gallatin, Tenn. Raised by his mother, Jane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jennieâ&#x20AC;?

Ogle Reagan, he aspired to be an extraordinary mountain man.

Alfred Reagan was born Nov. 6, 1856 in Sevier County. His mother applied for a widowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension to help support Alfred and his siblings.

Although the money she received was very limited, she was able to raise her children to become fine citizens.

Remarks have been made about Alfred that describe him as being just â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś average in ability for his time and place.â&#x20AC;?

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examine this â&#x20AC;&#x153;averageâ&#x20AC;? mountain man.

Alfred married Martha Bales on April 16, 1879 in Sevier County. They had seven children: Giles, Luther, Wesley, Mertie, Delilah, Mae, and Louise.

Alfred purchased 90 acres of land from N.E. King in 1892. In later years, he bought two adjoining tracts of land.

His home was located in the head waters of Roaring Fork Creek beneath Mount LeConte, and totaled 134.5 total acres when he sold his property to the National Park Service to form part of what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The house he lived in was built by T.R. Myers and is preserved by the National Park Service.

Approximately 35 acres were cleared for farming.

The rest of his land was steep, rock-strewn land that was only fit for pasture or woodland.

This land was so fertile that corn seed was dropped between the

The road that leads to Gatlinburg went down the middle of Roaring Fork Creek and along the banks. Wagons could not use this route for transportation. To take corn to the mill one had to walk or go by horseback, carrying bags of corn.

Alfred found a solution: He built his own mill. His mill was a turbine or â&#x20AC;&#x153;tubâ&#x20AC;? mill. Water was channeled to strike a horizontal wooden wheel, which turned to provide direct power to the mill stones.

This mill had a handpowered, homemade bolting machine that was used to grind wheat. (A bolting machine removed

the chaff from the wheat, and separated the ground wheat into different grades.) This was an unusual feature for a mill located in the mountains.

Alfredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill was so well constructed that it could be operated when other mills were shut down due to lack of water which occurred in the heat of the summer months.

Not only could Alfred grind his own meal, he could charge a fee or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tollâ&#x20AC;? for grinding neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; corn. His toll was one gallon of corn out of each bushel. This tub mill has been preserved along with Alfredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house located on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail.

Alfred was an excellent blacksmith. He provided his services to his neighbors on Roaring Fork.

Because so little custom work was done, he could not make a living as a smithy. He did make a rifle for his son Wesley by welding together two sections from two older gun barrels.

He also had a small store located in a building between his house and the mill. The convenience of this store saved a long walk to Gatlinburg when someone ran short on just one item.

He is credited with shooting the first bear on Roaring Fork.

Alfred made all of his own furniture, and made additions to his house to make his home more comfortable for his family.

Alfred Reagan was a miller, blacksmith, storekeeper, gunsmith, farmer, carpenter, and, for a short time, a lay preacher. If this describes

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world everchanging, filled with beauty of color

By ALTA RAPER What gorgeous fall days we are having. Warm days and cool nights; colors changing on the mountainsides; the earth, gently cooling down.

Have you noticed how colors play an important role in our life? They affect our mood and our emotions, as well as our sense of well-being.

Different colors have as much to do with our feelings as different smells and different touches.

They bring about many thoughts and memories of people and places and days gone byâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happened on a beautiful fall day â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

I have a double dose of color feelings. Everything that has a color is either happy or sad.

Clyde was never able to understand that I have a set of happy dishes. I used to have a set of sad dishes. I got rid of them; they were brown.

Now, I have dishes with

pretty pink flowers and green leaves. They are my happy dishes and, because they make me feel good, I use them every day.

All of us ladies know we feel better when we know we look good. There are certain colors that make us look better than others.

Wearing colors we know look good on us gives us a spring in our step and more self-confidence. On a rainy day, we can wear red or some other bright color and it will brighten our day and lift our spirit.

Every season of the year comes with its own beautiful colors, and with autumn now upon us we can look forward every day to the changing colors of the trees and foliage here in the mountains.

Within the next couple of weeks, the beautiful red, yellow, orange, green and purple of fall will paint the mountainside in great brush strokes of color and it will become absolutely

breathtaking.

Folks from far and wide will be traveling these mountain roads to enjoy their beauty. How privileged and blessed we are to live in this little bit of heaven on earth.

I love to walk in the fallen leaves, kicking them up in the air and watching them fly around with each step. I love to hear their crunch under my feet, and smell their delicious earthy aroma in the air.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world is everchanging and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled with the magnificent changing beauty of color for our pleasure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad.â&#x20AC;?

The Profit of the Many

Give no occasions of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God: even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved (1 Corinthians 10:32-33).

To say that we live in a self-aggrandizing world would be an understatement. It certainly seems as if most people are out for â&#x20AC;&#x153;#1,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;#1â&#x20AC;? is not God or family. According to worldly standards, we must work toward our own best interest, advancing our own agenda, because if we do not stick up for ourselves or try to get a bigger piece of the pie, then others will come in and take what could be ours. Television is now dominated by oversized personalities, and while they may have certain ideologies or causes, much of what they are attempting to do boils down to self-promotion. The more coverage-- positive or negative-- the greater the â&#x20AC;&#x153;media personality,â&#x20AC;? and the greater the benefit.

The world of first century Corinth was probably not much less based upon self-aggrandizement, and therefore Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message to the Corinthians must have sounded as shocking and radical then as it does now. Paul does not call believers to self-promotion, self-aggrandizement, or even concern for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own agenda. Instead, Paul calls believers to not cause offense or stumbling to others. They are to be like he is, not seeking his own profit, but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. Our goal should not be to please ourselves, but to please others.

In context, Paul addresses how the believers in Corinth should handle a situation in which they have been informed by a well-meaning pagan that the food they are eating together was sacrificed to idols (1 Corinthians 10:14-33). Had the pagan said nothing, there would have been no difficulty-- everything belongs to God, idols have no real substantive existence, and food is food (1 Corinthians 10:27). But if he does inform the believer that it is meat sacrificed to an idol, then the believer ought to abstain from eating, not because he would violate his own conscience, but on account of the conscience of the pagan (1 Corinthians 10:28-29). The believer should not be giving the impression that he is honoring any form of pagan idolatry!

But Paul knows that he is walking on a razor thin wire. Jews consider meat sacrificed to an idol abhorrent, no matter the circumstance; Greeks eat it without any concern whatsoever. The church of God at that time is made up of both groups, and 1 Corinthians 8 has already established how the matter of eating meat sacrificed to idols has been contentious there! Therefore, Paul feels compelled to lay down these principles. Yes, his liberty should not be determined by anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conscience (1 Corinthians 10:29). Since God has not condemned, in truth, Paul should not be denounced for eating meat sacrificed to an idol if he partook with thankfulness (1 Corinthians 10:30). Nevertheless, in all that believers do-- eating and drinking, or whatever-- all should be done for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glory and honor (1 Corinthians 10:31). This is why believers are to act without offense to any, seeking to please everyone in what is done, seeking the profit of many (1 Corinthians 10:32-33).

A word must be given about the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasing everyone.â&#x20AC;? Paul is not saying that we should sin against our own consciences or against God in an attempt to please others; this is not a call for compromising Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards at all (cf. Romans 14:23, Galatians 5:17-24, etc.). Instead, Paul is advocating a conciliatory approach toward other people, seeking, whenever possible, the path of least resistance and greatest acceptance, while remaining within the law of Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:21).

In short, we should not be seeking to be ornery or difficult. We must not be obnoxiously asserting our liberties and â&#x20AC;&#x153;rights.â&#x20AC;? Instead, we must give thought to do whatever we can do seek the spiritual welfare of the many, and not ourselves. As Paul told the Philippians in Philippians 2:3-4, believers should count others more significant than themselves in humility, seeking not only his own good but also that of his neighbor. As Christians, our goal should be the same goal as Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-- that all men may come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). As Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives, we reflect upon Him, for good or ill (Matthew 5:1316). Therefore, we cannot delude ourselves into thinking that all we need to worry about is ourselves and our own salvation. We are expressly charged to seek the profit of as many others as we possibly can.

This seems like a pretty restrictive fence-- we must not provide occasions of stumbling for the Jews, the Greeks, or the church. We can understand this today in terms of those who tend to at least look like they are selfrighteous and sanctimonious in their knowledge of right and wrong, those who are of the world and who think as the world, and those who are of God. It is very easy to start pointing fingers at any of these groups: the sanctimonious are easy targets because of their hypocrisy, the unbelievers are easy to frown upon because of their ungodliness and immorality, and it is easy to bear down upon Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people because of our love and our desire for us all to better reflect Christ. Yet, in the end, we must not do so. We must seek the profit of the sanctimonious, the unbeliever, and the fellow believer, and to do so at the same time!

This is quite counter-intuitive and counter-cultural; it always has been, and as long as the earth continues to exist it most likely will be. Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s myths of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and the icon of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;self made manâ&#x20AC;? do not make this any easier. Ultimately, however, our goals must not be the same as those of the world around us. Many will not understand why we would live thus, but we do it to please the God who redeemed us. We must remember, at all times, that Jesus came not to please Himself but to please others, that He did not seek His own profit, but the profit of us all, and that while His cross is reckoned as a stumbling-block, it is only thus for those who refuse to believe-- in truth, the cross kills the hostility and allows the Jew and the Greek to be one in the church of God (cf. Matthew 20:28, Romans 15:2-3, 1 Peter 2:1-8, Ephesians 2:11-18).

It is hard work to please others and not ourselves. It is challenging to not provide occasions of stumbling. But let us remember that as God loved us and gave His Son for us when we were alienated and unlovable, so we must love our fellow man, even if he seems unlovable (Romans 5:6-11). Let us not seek our own interest, but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved!

Native American musician Bird to perform at WSCC campuses Submitted Report Grammy-nominated musician Arvel Bird will share both his Native American heritage and music in three appearances sponsored by Walters State Community College later this month.

Bird will perform at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday on the Sevier County Campus; at 10 a.m.

Wednesday at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Greeneville; and at 9 a.m.

Thursday on the Morristown campus. These concerts are part of his nationwide â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Wingsâ&#x20AC;? tour.

Bird is one of the most awarded Native American musicians with over 25 recordings and being honored as Native American Artist of the Year. He also spent many years in Nashville as a popular studio musician known for his skills on the fiddle. He began experimenting first with country music, with the fiddle playing lead instead of the guitar. He toured with Glen Campbell during much of the 1980s. His tours have also included stints with country legends including Loretta Lynn, Ray Price and Tom T. Hall. In 1991, he opened a recording studio and emerged as a popular recording engineer and producer.

Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music has been recognized with three Grammy nominations.

Bird was born to a Mormon mixed race family where, under the social laws of the time, his Native American heritage was never discussed. Later in life, he researched and returned to his Paiute heritage. On stage, he weaves a unique musical blanket of sounds

Last year, students were

captivated by his presentation,â&#x20AC;? Bowen said.

Bowen noted this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was scheduled for October as part of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observance of Native American History Month as declared by Gov. Phil Bredesen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people in this area do have Native American ancestry and I would like to encourage everyone to come, share and celebrate with this wonderful performance,â&#x20AC;? Bowen added.

All three concerts are free and open to the public.

Retired Senior Member Bill Walker instructs cadets in Fire Extinguisher use and safety during the Tuesday meeting as part of Safety Month activities of Civil Air Patrol TN-093, Sevier County.

Civil Air Patrol presents class on fire extinguishers Submitted Report SEVIERVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Civil Air Patrol held a meeting Tuesday evening that included a class on the proper use of fire extinguishers presented by retired District Fire Chief of East Lake Fire Rescue, Pinellas County Fla., Bill Walker.

Walker is currently a Senior Member of the Civil Air Patrol Squadron TN-093 in Sevier County.

Also that evening the cadets participated in a team and confidence building exercise by blindly stepping through a mine field by following orders of other cadets.

TN-093 is currently seeking members of all ages and gender to join the ranks from cadet to senior members.

The unit is planning on being ready by spring for Search and Rescue Training missions as members of the Emergency Services Division. Cadets can expect to go through an orientation process that will include introductory education in Military Customs and Courtesies, Aerospace, Personal Leadership and Development, and other topics designed to prepare them for the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program.

Successful completion of the CAP Cadet Program can have many benefits, which will be discussed at the orientation meetings.

Success surprised Nashville-based Kings of Leon

By DAVID BAUDER AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kings of Leon took more than musical cues when they opened a concert tour for U2 a few years back.

They learned that ambition isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a dirty word.

That lesson is clearly evident on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Around Sundown,â&#x20AC;? the rock bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first collection of music since the hits â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex on Fireâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use Somebodyâ&#x20AC;? made them Grammy-winning stars. The album coverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palm trees recall the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hotel Californiaâ&#x20AC;?

(16 million sold) and the music inside is epic and inviting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the world is looking for a big band from our generation, we at least want to give it a shot,â&#x20AC;? said 28-year-old singer Caleb Followill, one of three brothers and a cousin in the group named for his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put ourselves up there against anyone because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very competitive and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re family.

Yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give it a shot.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not afraid to at least try.â&#x20AC;?

The admission cuts against the grain of an ambivalence toward success that has run strong in the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; coinciding with its diminished influence as a force in popular culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own wrestling with good fortune.

The Beatles and Elvis Presley never thought twice about wanting to be big stars. The attitude is different today, perhaps dating to Bruce Springsteenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

music covered on the Fox television musical series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? and turned down the opportunity.

Hiatt can see where the band is coming from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be a rock star, you have to keep your credibility,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to be offending someone.â&#x20AC;?

Followill acknowledged this week that the popularity initially scared him, making him wonder if he had lost his edge. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he thought back to his time spent with U2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the few remaining rock bands that can fill a stadium yet remain a creative force.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad life, traveling to gigs in plush jets instead of drafty vans.

Kings of Leon were underground darlings in the United States, with more mainstream appeal overseas. Things changed with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only by the Nightâ&#x20AC;? disc in 2008. Buoyed by the hit songs, it sold north of 6 million copies.

That messed with the Nashville-based bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heads. Followill told Spin magazine that they got bigger than they wanted to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done something wrong,â&#x20AC;? he told the magazine in December of last year, in a quote heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d live to regret. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That woman in mom jeans who never let me date her daughter?

She likes my music. ... Not cool.â&#x20AC;?

Kings of Leon were approached to have their

pulling back from his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Born in the USAâ&#x20AC;? stardom and, especially, the suspicion that Pearl Jam and Nirvana felt about popularity. An underground ethos took hold. Most rock artists prefer being part of a subculture and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the effort to break through to a wider audience, said Brian Hiatt, senior writer at Rolling Stone magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has kind of messed with fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads and confused fans about what is acceptable and what is not,â&#x20AC;? he said. The quality of work almost doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter; many fans will simply dump a band when they become popular, he said.

Ring finds its home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 51 years later Submitted Report SEYMOUR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A class ring is like a rite of passage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a treasure to cherish. It is personalized, bearing a name or initials, and depicts honors and activities of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school days.

Rarely, it may also connect individuals who otherwise never would have known each other.

The year was 1959. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redâ&#x20AC;?

Julian had joined the Navy because he wanted to see the world. His ship, the USS Bassilone, had just returned from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to its home port in Norfolk, Va. The Bassilone would be heading out again in a few days, but those who chose not to re-enlist were heading home.

Julian walked up to a sink in the bathroom of the ship and noticed a gold ring on a shelf. He ran in search of its owner. He assumed one of the guys leaving on the bus had left the ring. But, by the time he made it topside, the bus had already left.

He posted a notice on a bulletin board and compared the roster of 300 men on the ship with the initials inscribed on the ring. His search was unsuccessful, so he placed the ring in his jewelry box for safekeeping.

Forward to August 2010. Julian was living in Port Charlotte, Fla., with his wife, Sandy, when he opened the jewelry box once again. There was the ring he had found 51 years earlier.

On Aug. 20 Sandy Julian called The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy.

She described the 1949 class ring from HarrisonChilhowee Baptist Academy (now The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy) stating that the initials RWD were inscribed in it.

After talking with the Julians, Melinda Thornton, administrative assistant to the president at the academy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;dropped everything and started searching for this alumnus because my thoughts kept returning to the lost ring.â&#x20AC;? She dis-

Submitted

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than 50 years since Betty Deck saw her late husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class ring. covered a picture of Roy William Deck with the class of 1949. She concluded that Deck had to be the ringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our records indicated that Roy was deceased,â&#x20AC;?

Thornton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was Betty, but, that is all the information I had.â&#x20AC;?

Using the Internet, she found a Betty Deck in Washburn, Tenn. Thornton then called The Citizen Tribune of Morristown and asked if they had a record of Roy Deckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary.

Indeed, the newspaper did.

Hoping that Betty Deck in Washburn was the widow of Roy Deck, Thornton called her; she had been married to Roy W. Deck for over 50 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I told her that a couple in Florida had Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class ring, she was overcome with emotion and began to cry,â&#x20AC;? Thornton said.

Betty said that she had worn that class ring for about a year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; taped up so that it would fit her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until Roy bought her an engagement ring. He had died in 2005. Roy had been in the Air Force for 22 years. How did the ring end up on a Naval ship? Unknown.

The Julians mailed the ring to Thornton; and Thornton and Academy President Walter Grubb traveled to Betty Deckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Washburn to pres-

ent the ring.

The return of Roy Deckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class ring brought the Deck family, the Julians and the academy together. New friendships began.
