Debts focus of special meeting

SEVIERVILLE —The Board of Mayor and Aldermen will have an unusual special called meeting at 7 p.m. Monday to discuss proposed changes in the special assessment fee proposed for the Bridgemont development.

The board rarely has special called meetings, but Monday’s meeting will be doubly unusual because it will take place during the Winterfest kickoff festivities in the

municipal complex. Because of that, the meeting will be held in a conference room on the second level of the Civic Center instead of the ordinary meeting room.

Administrator Steve Hendrix said he scheduled the meeting without realizing it was the same date as the Winterfest kickoff until it had already been advertised.

The city has been negotiating with the original developers of the Bridgemont project for some time over debts owed on improvements to the infrastructure. The developers, now called Universe, agreed

to pay for portions of improvement to the roads, power and other improvements in the area. The city paid for improvements that served the Events Center and the municipal golf course and split the costs with the developers and businesses in the area.

Universe paid $9 million initially, but owes more after numerous changes to the plans and contracts over the course of several years, Hendrix said.

GATLINBURG — He was 18 years old, without a high school diploma. The war had started and by 1943 Freeland Brown knew where he should be.

The draft took care of it. He entered the military that year. Two years later he emerged, having literally dodged bullets and escaped close calls. And having survived four months in a German prisoner of war camp that saw his weight drop from 180 to 80 pounds.

These days Freeland Brown, known as Dood by his friends and family, lives on Roaring n WWI veteran Frank Fork Road less than four miles Atchley served supporting role for troops. from where he was raised.

He reminisces willingly about n Desert Storm veteran World War II and sometimes found career in military speaks to veterans groups and Page A2 and A3 school classes. He survived extreme difficulties and circumstances, and he knows why.

“To me, Jesus Christ is all of it,” he said. “Things happened over there that had to be because I was protected

by God. I knew Jesus Christ before I went over there, so I was never scared.”

His mother died when Brown was an infant. His grandfather, Sherman Clabough, raised him.

When he entered the military he at first joined the Navy, but later transferred to the Army.

After 14 weeks of basic training, he was shipped to North Africa, where allies had already taken control. An attack of appendicitis caused him to miss three trips out of Africa, but when he recovered it was on to Europe,

Vietnam veteran Dan Klopfenstein enters the SCHS gym to applause before their veteran salute program Friday.

Klopfenstein proud of service in Vietnam

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PITTMAN CENTER — It was three days before Thanksgiving 1967 when Dan Klopfenstein got the orders informing him he would be shipping out to Vietnam.

“They sent me home of a few days.

I got to the house about 2:30 in the morning and my future wife was with me. We were engaged at that time,” Klopfenstein remembers. “We were standing in the kitchen and my pop came in. He knew immediately why I was home. My mom came in and said, ‘What are you doing you here?’

Of course, she figured it out pretty quickly.”

Klopfenstein still becomes emotional as he recalls the moment his mother realized one of her two boys would soon be in that dangerous place. He looks off in the distance as his eyes go misty and his voice trails off.

It hadn’t been long before that late-November day that Klopfenstein received another notice, this one informing him his number had come up and he had been drafted into the U.S. Army. The son of an Army veteran of World War II, the grandson of an Army veteran of World War I, Klopfenstein says he never questioned his call to serve his country.

“Some guys were running to Canada.

Teaster arrested Friday for violating probation From staff reports More than two months after he allegedly left the scene of an accident but on the day The Mountain Press reported about the incident, Pigeon Forge assistant baseball coach Wesley Teaster was arrested, charged with violating the terms of his Circuit Court-imposed probation.

The move was made Friday by deputies with the Sevier County Sheriff’s Department, apparently just a short time after Teaster’s attorney, Bryan Delius, called The Mountain Press to say his client was cooperating with law enforcement as required.

Given the long delay between the Aug. 27 hitand-run citation and the actual arrest, it’s not

clear what prompted the charge to actually be filed. Information from the sheriff’s office simply indicates the 23-yearold Teaster was charged with violating the probation given him by Judge Richard Hooper following a 2008 accident that took the life of fellow assistant coach Jeremy Chesney.

Teaster was released without bond, with an

arraignment hearing on the matter set for Jan. 4, according to arrest reports.

Delius told The Mountain Press Friday, the day the initial report of the Aug. 27 incident was printed, that Teaster had followed the terms of his sentence by letting his probation officer know about the incident.

“He was not arrested,” Delius said. “He did

report to law enforcement and he did cooperate.”

Delius also claims Teaster left three messages with his probation supervisor asking that person to call him about the accident.

Despite those claims, the warrant filed at 9:31 a.m. Friday avers Teaster did not report the charge to the probation office.

Atchley helped protect supplies for troops

By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer You don’t often hear about the United States Navy Armed Guard, but Frank Atchley remembers them well.

The 85-year-old Sevierville native served with the unit from 1943 until the end of World War II, helping to guard convoys as they ferried supplies and troops across oceans. The unit was disbanded after World War II. “It sounds like we were just standing around guarding something, but we were on the ships,” Atchley said.

Atchley was drafted in 1943, and eventually assigned to the Navy and then to the Guard. They were the sailors who went along with merchant marine vessels to defend them in the event of attack. He spent most of the war after that crisscrossing the Atlantic.

The Navy didn’t have enough ships to protect all the merchant marine vessels that delivered supplies, and to help provide more defense the ships were fitted with guns and with sailors to man them.

Atchley said they would take shifts standing watch, looking for signs of enemy vessels or aircraft. When they weren’t doing that, they were maintaining the big guns mounted on the ships and performing other functions.

They would occasionally see the destroyer escorts move out and drop depth charges, but they weren’t involved in any real engagements on his trips. German subs in particular were a constant threat and always in their mind.

“The last thing anybody wanted was to

World War II veteran Frank Atchley reviews pictures of his time serving with the United States Navy Armed Guard. take a torpedo,” Atchley said.

But the convoys he was with were fortunate and were not targeted, he said.

That stopped when they were told to head to southern England: They were going to offer support in the Allied assault on the beaches of Normandy.

“We saw 1,000 ships moving across the English Channel,” he remembered.

where things got hairy.

And the close calls began.

He was stationed in France with the 143rd Infantry, 36th Division, the so-called Texas Division. It was under the command of Gen. George Patton.

A fellow soldier stepped on a landmine, sending shrapnel into Brown’s body. He still has a piece of metal in his lip, which he is glad to show a visitor. A mortar attack sent fragments into his body a second time. He survived that as well, but was out of commission for two months.

Submitted

Freeland Brown in uniform in September 1945, five months after he was freed from a German POW camp.

“I knew I was protected

by Jesus Christ,” he says.

One day he was part of

a scout unit sent over a nearby hill. A soldier near him was shot in the leg.

“I was protected by a persimmon tree,” he said.

“I fell right where I was.

I was shot through my canteen. I am sure Jesus Christ protected me. He (the German soldier) had a good shot but didn’t hit me.”

In December 1944 a commanding officer approached Brown, instantly promoted him from private first class to sergeant, and sent him to lead a platoon to take on a German squadron nearby.

With about a hundred men under him, he led the attack. They were outnumbered and overwhelmed.

Their duty shifted from making the long trip across the Atlantic to carrying supplies across the Channel. Early on, they were sent to resupply battleships. Atchley said he could remember it clearly, because the battleship was still firing its big guns in support of the troops.

Even at that distance, they were taking fire from the shore and it was chaotic, but “We surrendered after two days of fighting,” Brown recalled. “We had no choice.”

The Americans were taken by train to a nearby enemy camp, then ordered to start walking.

They covered around 300 miles, including a walk

by Dachau, one of the Germans’ concentration camps.

“We were outside, but you could smell it,” Brown said of Dachau.

When they reached their destination the Americans were told to line up and empty their pockets.

Atchley said he didn’t remember being scared.

Eventually, as the ground troops pushed inland, they were able to land at the beachheads to drop off supplies.

They weren’t supposed to get off the ships during those trips. Mostly they were too busy, and officers were also concerned about safety. One of Atchley’s friends defied that rule and paid a tragic price: He slipped away with some of the merchant marines but he stepped on a “bouncing Betty,” a gruesome sort of mine that propels an explosive into the air before it detonates and sprays shrapnel around the area.

The man died; he was the only casualty Atchley’s ship suffered at the time.

After that trip, Atchley was just about done with his duties, as it turned out. He had managed to make time to marry his sweetheart, Mary, on a trip home and he was soon back to stay and to build a life with her. By the time he’d been ordered to go to the Pacific, the war was winding down.

He said that throughout his time in the service, he couldn’t really remember being scared — from the trips across the Atlantic to resupplying jaunts during D-day, it was all more exciting than frightening. “I never did worry about a thing in the world,” he said. “I was too young, I guess.”

But as he’s had decades to reflect and look back, it’s not an adventure he’d be anxious to repeat.

“It was an experience,” he said. “I don’t think I’d want to go through it again.” n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

“I had a little Bible given to me in Sevierville,” Brown said. “I opened it so the German could see what it was. He looked at it, then handed it back to me. I put it back in my pocket.”

During their seven months of captivity the men were worked hard and fed little. They were pestered by fleas and lice. But they persevered.

Brown had lost 100 pounds when Patton’s army liberated the camp in April 1945.

Brown came back to East Tennessee and sought help at the VA

Medical Center near Johnson City.

“I was told I didn’t quality for VA services,” he said.

For 36 years he was denied medical benefits or counseling, until a law was passed that provided such services to POWs. In the meantime he had nightmares. And when he was sleeping his wife couldn’t touch him because he was would react so strongly.

He and the former Frances Emert have been married since 1948. They have no children.

But he still has that pocket Bible.

Meeting

3From Page A1

At Monday’s special called meeting, the city will review documents for a special assessment on Universe property that will help the developer pay its remaining debt.

Universe will offer collateral to secure the remaining debt.

The special assessments allow developers to add a fee — what amounts to an addition to property tax — on their property, and to use that fee to repay special bonds.

The bonds are used to pay for infrastructure improvements.

Universe officials hope to use federal bonds that could end after this year.

The city agreed to a special assessment in 2008, but that was based on financial projections made before the recession.

The new agreement will be for a smaller

amount than before, but will include land for a planned city park and for a fire station near the events center.

Hendrix said he has kept members of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen abreast of the situation during executive sessions, so they shouldn’t be surprised by the terms or the numbers in the new agreement.

Jim Calkin, spokesperson for Universe, said his company is still looking at the same infrastructure needs as it was two years ago but doesn’t need the full funding. Universe is now looking at drawing the bonds in phases, he said.

This first phase does not mean that they’re ready to announce a commitment to build by a major tenant, but they are still aggressively marketing the project and believe it will be a success. “We feel good about the future,� he said.

We didn’t,� he says. “We were proud to serve. We knew it was our duty to our country.�

Klopfenstein left school and his family’s Michigan home to attend Basic Training, then made his way to Fort Sam Houston in Texas for medic school. On Jan. 5, 1969, Klopfenstein boarded the plane that would take him to join his service unit in Vietnam, which turned out to be a heavy artillery outfit that hauled around the big guns like Howitzers.

Arriving in country at the age of 22, Klopfenstein jokes he was the “old man� of his group, though he says he grew up every day of his service. As a medic, he saw some of the worst of the fighting in Vietnam, though he know he was fortunate to at least not be on the front lines. “I had good duty, but at times it didn’t feel like good duty,� he says. “As a medic, you get to see it all and the guys rely on you.�

Though he mostly stayed in camp, Klopfenstein

According to police reports, Teaster swerved into a neighboring lane while adjusting his iPod music player and hit another vehicle, then left the scene. In his statement, Teaster claims he tried to call two people he knows who worked for the Pigeon Forge Police Department before going to turn himself in.

As Delius points out,

Military became career for Allen

By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Teddy Allen, a member of the American Legion Post 104, remembers fondly when he decided to join the Army. “I was a young kid in 1972,� the Strawberry Plains resident said. “I thought I needed some guidance in my life, so I went in and said, ‘Sign me up!’�

Not long after that day he realized that a military career was for him.

After arriving in Munich, Germany, shortly after the Munich Olympic massacre, he stayed in the country for 12 years. “I really enjoyed Europe — I got to go to places that most people I went to school with only read about, like the Ludwig Castles,� said the history buff. “There is very little I would change.�

War, however, is an experience he wishes

was only in Vietnam three weeks before the reality of the challenges and dangers unique to the war hit home for him. It happened during the Tet Offensive, a massive coordinated attack by the communist forces of North Vietnam against the United States and South Vietnam that, though it turned out to be a victory for the latter, helped to turn American sentiment against the war.

It was during that campaign that Klopfenstein realized he knew one of the enemy combatants. “In the Army you have to get regular haircuts,� he explains. “I had gone to see one of the local barbers each week since I got there. Then during Tet, he was outside the line. He was one of the guys firing at us. That’s when I knew you never know in Vietnam.�

Klopfstein’s location became a target during the months-long offensive thanks to a helicopter pad there. He and his fellow soldiers took rocket and sniper fire that left them in constant fear. “I weighed 180 back then, but I could get it all under a steel helmet,� he

jokes.

Every week he was in Vietnam, he watched what the men called the “Freedom Birds,� commercial airliners brought in to take troops returning to the states home.

He recalls it being almost painful to see the planes land, then take off again a short time later loaded down with guys who were getting out, never knowing how long it would be before he would get his own ticket back to America. “They finally told me after a year I’d be going home,� Klopfenstein recalls. “When we got on that plane, it was just total silence. All these servicemen and not a word. But when we got in the air, it was total chaos.

It was just the greatest feeling of jubilation in the world.�

Unfortunately, the celebration didn’t last.

Klopfenstein, like many others who served in Vietnam, came home to a tepid welcome from his countrymen. Some openly scorned his service, while others seemed oblivious. “You’d see people in the store and they’d say, ‘Gee, you got a tan. Did you go to Florida?’� Klopfenstein

the matter might not have been considered any more weighty than a normal speeding ticket were it not for the fact that Teaster is serving a five-year probation term as sentencing for the earlier accident.

In that incident, Teaster apparently lost control of the Jeep he was driving on Kingfisher Drive, resulting in a wreck that propelled both he and Chesney out of the vehicle. Chesney died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident.

A little under a year ago,

Teaster was given a fiveyear probation sentence on the charge of vehicular homicide by reckless conduct. Under the agreement, Teaster was given the opportunity to have the felony removed from his record provided he follows the terms of the sentence. It’s unclear whether the new charge will render that deal void, though the warrant states, “The aforesaid has not properly conducted himself but violated the terms of his probation.�

The Desert Storm veteran, who was involved in ground troops with the 1st Armored Division, notes that the 20th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War is just around the corner — although he remembers it as if it were yesterday. “It’s hard to describe the emotions. You

Still, in the time since and through a move to Sevier County 10 years ago to be part of the community here at the foot of the Smoky Mountains, Klopfenstein says the reactions to his service have changed. Whether it’s southern hospitality or just a change in the national mood toward Vietnam, Klopfenstein says he’s encouraged by things like patriotic endings to local dinner shows and the annual Veterans Day celebrations at schools in the county. He’s attended the one at Sevier County High School every year since he moved here, even moving around a trip to Michigan this year so he would arrive back on Thursday night to be there for Friday morning’s assembly. “I make it a special point to be there. I will not miss that show. It’s great,� he says. “These kids probably don’t realize what it means to guys like me to know they appreciate what we did.�

No matter the reception

he has gotten for his time in the Army, Klopfenstein says he’s thankful to have had the opportunity to serve the land of the free and the home of the brave. He believes others should give their own time to helping make this country great, from the Army to the Peace Corps. “I’m proud of my service. I feel like I belong,� he says. “I think everyone

Allen retired from the service in 1992.

His son, who was born in Germany and has dual citizenship, approached his father about following in his footsteps. “I told him, ‘Let’s talk about this over breakfast.’�

The son ended up serving more than seven years in the Army. “My (7-year-old) granddaughter knows what a veteran is,� said Allen, who also has a daughter who still resides in Germany. “I’m very pro-military.

It helped me mature quickly. If a young person has no guidance, the service gives them the self-discipline and self-motivation that will take them far in life.�

And although he and fellow post members who served in other branches of the military give each other a hard time, it’s all in fun. “We’re all brothers and sisters in arms.� should spend at least a couple years in the service. It gives them a chance to know what the rest of the world is like so they can be thankful for what we have here. And it gives them a chance to know what our forefathers went through to build this country for us.

Forge may request study for wastewater system fix PIGEON FORGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City officials will consider launching studies about making a pair of improvements to the wastewater collection system when they meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday in City Hall.

On the agenda for that meeting is a pair of proposals about doing research on the network of pipes and machinery that helps usher the unwanted water out of area houses. Public Works Director Mark Miller says the efforts are largely about looking toward the future and figuring out how the aging sewer complex needs to be updated to be ready for it.

The first of the contracts would hire engineering firm Smith Seckman Reid Inc., which the city works with frequently, to study the Mill Creek lift station and the lines around it. That mechanism, which pushes the wastewater through lines called force mains when gravity canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that job, has reached its limits

and needs to be replaced, Miller says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is several years old and my understanding is it has reached its capacity,â&#x20AC;? Miller explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just planning ahead to the future to figure out how big it needs to be when we upgrade it.â&#x20AC;?

Part of the research will be determining how big the sewer load will be in the area if all the properties out in the Connor Heights and Mill Creek areas are eventually developed. City officials will then use the results of the study to make plans for expanding the lift station, Miller says.

In the other case, Kentucky Engineering Group is on track to get the job of looking into problems the city has had with a force main in the Veterans Boulevard area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That line has broken and had to be repaired several times, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at doing a study to figure out what we need to do to stop it from breaking,â&#x20AC;? Miller says.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for breaks to happen along force mains.

Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being pushed down the pipe by the machinery, the wastewater in those is under pressure, which is enough of a strain for the lines carrying it. Additionally, that stress can make the lines vibrate, which can cause them to rupture if they bounce against something solid.

Also on the slate for Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session is: n Ordinance 915 amending Section 414 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Site plan regulations for special events, festivals and similar activity usesâ&#x20AC;? in the Zoning Ordinance n Resolution 776 authorizing the city to participate in the TML Risk Management Pool driver safety matching grant program n A request to donate books to the Friends of Pigeon Forge Public Library n Consideration of the list of city streets recommended for paving this fall. n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Court grants temporary stay NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Supreme Court granted a temporary stay for Stephen Michael West on Saturday, granting the death row inmate a postponement through Nov. 30.

The 48-year-old was scheduled to be executed Tuesday evening in Nashville for the 1986 stabbing deaths of Wanda Romines and her 15-year-old daughter Sheila Romines in Union County.

West’s federal public defender, Stephen Ferrell, said Saturday he was glad that they were given the three-week stay to address their claims against Tennessee’s lethal injection procedure.

It’s the second time judges have stepped in to halt the execution of West, who was hours away from death in 2001 when a judge granted him a stay so he could pursue federal appeals.

The court made the decision so that the Davidson County Chancery Court can hear evidence in a lawsuit West’s attorneys filed alleging that prisoners executed by lethal injection experience unconstitutionally severe pain.

The lawsuit claims the first drug in Tennessee’s three-drug lethal injection protocol does not adequately anesthetize prisoners, violating the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment.

Ferrell said he expects there will

be a hearing in the coming weeks to present evidence.

“Our goal is to show the current practice (of lethal injection) is unconstitutional,” he said.

West had completed the standard federal appeals process and his request for a stay was dismissed by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week. Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen declined to intervene when West’s attorneys asked for clemency, spokeswoman Lydia Lenker said.

West’s latest appeal claimed that autopsy results from a previous execution in Tennessee indicate that the inmate may not have been unconscious when he died.

For the Winterfest kickoff on Monday, the Sevier county Public Library System will have a change in operating hours at the three library locations.

The Kodak and Seymour branches will close at 3 p.m. The King Family Library will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m..

commentary

Appreciating what we have before it’s gone Been to Gatlinburg lately? If you haven’t, try it. There is a new feeling in the air. It’s hard to define and explain, but something good is going on over there, and it’s unmistakable.

They’re on a roll.

OK, they’ve been on a roll for 50 years or so. How can the Gateway to the Smokies, right at the most visited national park in America, not be a tourist success? But in fact Gatlinburg had been in a bit of a slump. Things had leveled off. The recession took its toll, as it did on all tourist areas. However, the Burg is back.

Lineberger’s Plaza has been purchased and will be transformed into something special. Ole Smoky Distillery is a huge success, an attraction all its own in less than a year. Brownlee and Kelley Reagan’s Carousel Gardens, where 441 and 321 converge, is spectacular — a pretty, well designed and interesting commercial development.

And that brings us to Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. The one thing that produces the least amount of revenue for the city may be the linchpin for the resurgence of this city.

Keeping that school in Gatlinburg seems to have transformed everyone, from city officials to the business community. It is a hidden treasure no more.

When Arrowmont announced it might leave because of uncertainty over whether it could stay on the property it leases, Knoxville and Greeneville stepped in as suitors. It would have been easy for local government and business officials to stay out of it. After all, if Arrowmont left and that property were sold to commercial developers, it would mean more money, more jobs and more attractions for tourists. It would have been easy and, frankly, understandable, if the community chose not to try to keep Arrowmont.

But they didn’t take that tack. They got together and worked to keep it. A coalition was formed to put a plan together to sway the Arrowmont board. The City Commission informally agreed to step in and be involved in purchasing the property and providing ongoing financial support, when that time came. A steady source of income for the school was essential, and that has been assured through a memorandum of understanding among the parties.

When the Arrowmont board met in August, the members were divided over whether to stay in Gatlinburg or bolt for Greeneville, where philanthropist Scott Niswonger was ready to give them land and help them build a new campus. The board members debated it on a Saturday, voted to stay in Gatlinburg and made the announcement the following Monday.

Do not underestimate the significance of this. A city and county that to some seemed focused solely on creating new business and new revenue streams came together to save a nonprofit institution whose visiting students seldom venture into town and usually stay on the campus in housing provided

by Arrowmont. This was huge. This was momentous.

In the two months since the board voted to stay, a lot has been going on — behind the scenes.

Not long ago representatives of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women Inc., which owns the land and leases it to Arrowmont, met with local officials to discuss selling the land. The fraternity has agreed to extend the $1-a-year lease to 2011 and will lease it at least for another year for $100,000. Pi Beta Phi does not seem particularly anxious to sell, apparently wanting to see land values go back up before setting a price. There are 70 acres involved, although Arrowmont only uses about 14 acres.

At the appropriate time a public-private partnership will buy it, probably through a government bond issue.

Meanwhile, the school system has the money secured — about $100,000 — for a pilot magnet school of the arts on the Arrowmont campus next spring. It could become permanent, which would be a great thing for our students.

Restaurateur Geoff Wolpert is the new president of the Arrowmont board, and thus will lead the way in choosing a successor to David Willard, the executive director who has retired. That likely will be a nationwide search. Willard was hired off the University of Texas campus.

Arrowmont is a treasure, not only to Gatlinburg, but all of Sevier County. Its future is decided. It has the support of a community that maybe didn’t appreciate it until it looked like we might lose it.

Sometimes that is what it takes to wake people up to the gifts they have in their midst.

Editorial

Disappointing Lisega’s hiring outlook regretful, but understandable It was disappointing to learn that Lisega Inc. won’t be hiring a lot of people as soon as it opens its Sevier County plant next spring. When the company sought rezoning of the property on East Dumplin Valley Road two years ago, the general manager, Bob Beldyk, told county commissioners that dozens of jobs would be created when the facility opened. Now we know that won’t happen.

Beldyk says a lackluster market for nuclear power plant supplies has made it impossible to hire new people at this time. He says it may be summer of 2011 before new jobs are created, and that appears to be optimistic at best.

Those who opposed the rezoning for Lisega, including some county commissioners and people who live near the plant site facing Interstate 40, may

choose to say “I told you so” about this news. That would be wrong. Lisega and Beldyk have not been purposely misleading. They simply are faced with the realities of the market for products they manufacture.

“Right now the market is weak, so initially I do not plan on any new positions,” Beldyk says now. “The utilities are not spending money on new power plants.”

That hardly seems to justify criticism of the company and the county for accommodating Lisega’s request for rezoning and for taxpayers to pay for improvements to Dumplin Valley Road.

The fact is, many American manufacturing operations are in slow periods.

However, things are changing. The economy is improving. Jobs are being created.

When Beldyk promised new jobs, he spoke based on the information he had at the time, when he said the company’s market would grow despite the recession because of high demand for cleaner energy sources like nuclear. Therefore, most of the jobs in the new plant will be filled by employees moving from the Newport facility. There may be a few jobs created at first, but not many.

Still, Beldyk is optimistic things will be turning in the company’s favor.

Lisega is starting to get orders for products, although most call for 2012 deliveries. He says he’ll be looking to hire people six to nine months after the plant opens in the spring. And he still predicts Lisega will grow by “hundreds” of jobs in the coming years.

Let’s hope so. Lots of people are counting on that.

Political view

Anger felt by Americans overdue and fully justified

Public forum

Editor: A recent writer has characterized the midterm national political campaigns by conservative citizens as a temper tantrum. The implication was that voter anger was misguided and unjustified.

Such things as implementation of a government health “reform” are good, even though it discriminates against elders and in favor of union members, it requires all businesses to furnish health care insurance to employees or be fined, it requires all citizens to obtain and pay for a health care policy or be fined and it puts health care decisions in the hands of bureaucrats when it should be the decisions of doctors and their patients.

Our anger: that the last several administrations and the present one have presented us with a double digit trillions (12 zeros) of dol-

lars debt with which we and our succeeding generations will have to struggle, the bailing out of businesses and industries to avoid failure while others are allowed to fail, when we know that failure is a logical and deserved consequence of bad judgement, the multiplying size of government with the ideology that governments know better than we about what is “good for us,” that socialism is a good thing, when it has never worked anywhere at any time in history is, I think, justified.

We think that the laws regarding immigration should either be enforced or changed.

We understand that our rights are given to us by God, not the government, and that they are guaranteed in the Constitution. We also understand that each God-given right has responsibilities attached.

Do folks have a right to something that must be purchased by someone else or that does harm to others? Have you looked at the Constitutional discussion of “separation of Church and State” or related requirements of

the people? Turns out that there is no mention of “separation of Church and State” in the constitution and the only 1st amendment requirements are for Congress: They shall not make any law respecting an establishment of religion, and they shall not prohibit the free exercise of religion.

We are angry about the distortions of all the constitutional rights by Congress and the courts. The constitution limits the powers of the federal government to very specific functions. We are angry because the federal government is overstepping these specifics to usurp the power of the states and the individual citizens.

I think our anger is justified. I think the “go along and get along” attitude of the writer of the earlier letter is largely the attitude among folks that has allowed these governmental over reaches to occur. Where am I in error?

Our anger is overdue and fully justified.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

What a day for Bray Freshman QB throws 5 TDs in 1st start MEMPHIS (AP) — Freshman quarterback Tyler Bray, starting his first game for Tennessee, threw for 325 yards and five touchdowns Saturday night to lead the Volunteers to a 50-14 victory over Memphis.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for Tennessee (3-6), which was never threatened after the first quarter. Bray, who took over the helm last week from junior Matt Simms, picked apart the young Memphis secondary from the start.

Tauren Poole rushed for 101 yards, and scored twice — once on a 21-yard run and another on a 9-yard pass from Bray.

The Vols would end the night with 510 yards of offense, including 379 through the air.

The 50 points matched Tennessee’s largest scoring output of the season.

Memphis (1-8) lost its sixth straight. It marked the fifth straight game where the Tigers, ranked

118th out of 120 teams in scoring defense, have surrendered at least 40 points.

M e m p h i s Tyler Bray a c t u a l ly led 7-0 after scoring on a 4-yard pass from Ryan Williams to Marcus Rucker on the Tigers’ first possession. Rucker would catch another touchdown pass from Williams late in the fourth quarter, this time for 38 yards.

Williams connected on 18 of 27 passes for 221 yards on the night.

The bulk of Bray’s statistics came in the first half as he completed 17 of 28 passes for 308 yards and all five of his touchdown passes.

That helped the Vols carry a 40-7 lead into halftime.

And the Tigers were just as pitiful on both sides of the ball as the score indicated.

Tennessee already

had 398 yards of offense at the break. Bray was spreading out the scoring passes, hitting Poole and Justin Hunter (42 yards) for touchdowns in the first quarter.

The second quarter scoring passes were to Denarius More (14 yards), Da’Rick Rogers (22 yards) and Gerald Jones (9 yards). Michael Palardy added field goals of 24 and 32 yards for Tennessee, which scored on every possession. except its first, in the half.

The Vols held the Tigers to 117 yards of offense, including only 8 yards rushing in the first half.

Memphis finished the game with 308 yards of total offense.

Midway through the third quarter, Simms replaced Bray and was 3 of 5 for 54 yards.

In addition to Poole’s 21-yard scoring run, Palardy added his third field goal of the night from 33 yards out in the second half.

Pigeon Forge defenders storm off the field in celebration after holding the Dandridge Broncos on their last possession of the EMFC Super Bowl.

Tigers Grasscutters win English Mountain Super Bowl

By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor DANDRIDGE — After starting the season 10-0, coach Steve Huskey’s Pigeon Forge Tigers Grasscutters football team capped off an undefeated run Saturday with a 13-6 win over the Dandridge Broncos at Jefferson County High School.

The Tigers used two second half scores and a resilient defense to earn the crown.

Early on the game was plagued by more penalties than plays as the teams alternated false starts and offsides flags.

Dandridge looked sharp early, scoring a touchdown on their first possession after chewing off most of the first quarter clock.

Their extra point conversion failed, however, and the score stood at 6-0.

Moments later Dandridge recovered a short kickoff, and it looked as though the Broncos might run Pigeon Forge right off the field.

The Tigers’ defense was up to the test this time, however, and finally the Orange and Black got their first chance on offense with just five minutes left in the second quarter.

Unfortunately for Pigeon Forge, a fumble gave the ball right back to Dandridge on the Tigers’ first play from scrimmage.

With just over two minutes left in the half, PF’s Keegan Rayfield recovered a fumble, giving his team new life.

The Tigers’ offense finally got some momentum and moved the football with running back Bryson King, but the runs allowed the clock to run See TIGERS, Page A10

Catlettsburg Elementary tennis team

Steven Michaluk LOCAL PLAYERS IN COLLEGE

Former SC lineman is Academic All-Conference PIGEON FORGE MIDDLE TENNIS TEAM

Junior Tennis League crowns champs The Sevier County Junior Tennis League ended its fourth season with a round robin tournament Saturday.

The tournament winners were Boyds Creek Elementary in the varsity division and Catlettsburg Elementary in junior varsity division.

Runners-up were Sevierville Middle School in varsity and Catlettsburg in junior varsity.

Boyds Creek was regular season champs in varsity, and Catlettsburg was the winners in junior varsity.

Regular season runnersup were Pigeon Forge in both varsity and junior varsity.

The league recently changed its name from Sevier County Middle School Tennis League, reflecting its policy of allowing admission to the lower grades.

Any child from fifth grade through eighth grade may now join a team and learn to play tennis.

League Director Jack Hatfield reports that the league grew again this fall, adding a team from the new Catlettsburg Elementary School coached by Brock Lambdin and a team from Pittman Center Elementary School coached by Brian Capps.

The league divided into varsity and junior var-

sity divisions last spring to accommodate the growing numbers and to insure competitive play and safety for the younger players.

Next spring The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy will join the league, and Hatfield is hoping to find adults willing to coach New Center Elementary, Seymour Middle and Northview Elementary, the only Sevier County schools not represented.

Hatfeld asks that any adults willing to coach these teams contact him.

The Sevier County Junior Tennis League will try something new in the spring 2011 season.

Instead of team competition, there will be individual competition open to all Sevier county players in the form of a singles and doubles ladder.

Team practices will still be held for instructional purposes and match experience, but individual coaches will work out practice schedules with their area high school coach.

The ladder league is a solu-

tion to the limited court availability in the spring.

Traditionally, spring is the regular season for high school tennis and fall is the regular season for middle school tennis, but due to popular demand, the SCJTL started a spring season in 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between an expanding SCJTL, private instruction, and public court usage, There are simply not enough courts in Sevier County to handle the growing tennis community,â&#x20AC;? Hatfield said.

Because of the numbers (there were over 100 player this fall) the spring singles and doubles ladders will be held at separate locations, one at Pigeon Forge City Park and one at Sevierville City Park.

Hatfield plans to also run a teaching court at each site for new players and current players who want to hone their skills.

Any Sevier County student between fifth and eighth grade is welcome to join the league, no experience necessary.

Home-schooled children are also welcome.

down and send the teams to their halftime break.

Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start out well for the Tigers in the second half, as again they fumbled on their first play from scrimmage.

But, again the Tigers D was up to the taks, and held the Broncos to a turnover on downs with 5:10 left in the third at the Dandridge 48-yard line.

A long first down run on a cut-back by Bryson King, coupled by a couple of nice gallops from Pierce Hammonds got the Tigers deep into Broncos territory as the quarter wound to a close.

King opened the fourth quarter finally getting PF on the board with a short TD run to tie the score at 6-6.

After the defense forced another turnover on downs from Dandridge, the offense was back at it with their lethal running attack.

Again King found the end zone, this time from about 10 yards out to put his squad up 12-6 with just over three minutes left in the ball game. Nathan

Hoffman added the extra point on a short run, making it 13-6.

The Broncos couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mount a comeback late, as the stingy Tigers kept them in their own territory to seal the Super Bowl win.

Super Grasscutters canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Broncos Pigeon Forge also had a team in the Super Grasscutters Super Bowl.

Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as good for the older boys as they lost to Dandridge 18-6.

Fighting tooth-and-nail for most of the game, the team saw the championship slip through their fingers in the final quarter thanks to the shifty running of Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tailback

Christopher Hawkins.

After leading nearly all the way following an early Andrew Baiamonte QB-sneak TD, the Tigers let Dandridge get on the scoreboard with just under five minutes left on a Hawkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 28-yard TD run.

Two minutes later the Tigers turned the ball over on downs at their own 34.

One play from scrimmage later and Hawkins was in the end zone again and the Broncos led 12-6.

Pigeon Forge couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything on their next possession, and for some additional salt in the wound Hawkins found the end zone yet again with :30 left to play making the 18-6 final score.

Jones is youngest USARacing Pro Cup driver, finishes 4th SEVIERVILLE — While many young kids across the United States dream about someday being a race car driver, Blake Jones, a 13-year-old junior high student at New Center Middle School in Sevierville is “living the dream.”

The 2010 racing season for Jones has been an outstanding campaign to say the least, and things just keep getting better, After recently wrapping up the Lonesome Pine (Coeburn, Va.) Raceway Late Model Stock championship, while also being named Rookie of the Year, Jones made his United Speed Alliance Racing Pro Cup Series debut Saturday at South Boston (Va.) Speedway in the Strutmasters.com 300 one for the record books.

With the No. 80 Chevrolet Impala experiencing some engine issues on Friday during practice, Jones missed some valuable seat-time in the car.

But that didn’t bother the young chauffeur as he made a bold statement in qualifying for the 300-lap event by turning in the ninth-fastest time to earn a starting spot inside of row five, in turn becoming the youngest driver to ever compete in a USARacing Pro Cup Series event.

With the Teddy Jones Racing team looking to run the full USARacing Pro Cup Series schedule in 2011, the goal heading into the Strutmasters.com 300 was for Blake to gain valuable experience from competing in a long-distance event.

Under the guidance of veteran motorsports guru Wade Day, who serves as crew chief for Jones, plans were early in the race for Blake to just get settled into a good rhythm and run his own race – avoid trouble and hopefully when the checkered flag wave bring

“To be quite honest, this debut run with the USARacing Pro Cup Series probably turned out much better than what we could’ve dreamed.”

home a respectable fourth place finish.

Having a strong mount underneath him, it was hard to hold Jones back as he was running consistent lap times and solidly inside the top-10 during the first 200 circuits.

Following a caution period just past lap 200, Jones found himself running in third place once the race went back green. He held onto the third spot before being overtaken just 12 laps from the finish by veteran Clay Rogers.

Caleb Holman from Abingdon, Va., who started from the pole position, dominated the race in winning his fourth USARacing Pro Cup Series event of the season.

Finishing behind Holman were Stephen Nasse, Rogers (who captured his fourth series championship), Jones and Chase Elliott, son of 1988 NASCAR champion Bill Elliott.

“Oh man, what an awesome run we had,” said a very happy Jones following the race. “First I want to thank God for all he does

Jones is the youngest driver to compete in a USARacing Pro Cup Series event. for me in my life; I’m so very grateful for all the opportunities He blesses me with. To be quite honest, this debut run with the USARacing Pro Cup Series probably turned out much better than what we could’ve dreamed.

Competing with the drivers in this series, you’re really talking about some good racers. But I knew my crew chief (Wade Day) would give me an awesome car, and it was just up to me to get the job done behind the wheel.

Our car was great in the race, it drove very well.

“Having never run a race of this distance (300 laps), we just mainly wanted to run and be as competitive as we could be and let me gain experience from the seattime,” Jones said. “To be able qualify inside the top10 and record a top-5 finish, man, it was just awesome.

“This year was my first season racing full-bodied stock cars and we were able to really accomplish a lot – we won pole positions and we won five Late Model Stock feature races,

and ultimately we captured the Lonesome Pine Raceway championship. As a racer you can’t wait to run your next race, and following our good debut run today this race team is really looking

forward to running full-time in 2011 with USARacing Pro Cup Series.”

Pigeon Forge officials ponder new retirement plan

By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For the second time in as many years city officials are considering a change to the retirement plans offered to city officials, with a potential for a guaranteed pension for every worker. The only problem is paying for it.

During a work session last week, members of the City Commission got an overview of what it would mean if they opt to join the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS).

A crowd of around 90 city employees turned out to hear the discussion, expressing hopes the plan could offer an improvement over their current plan.

The main problem is coming up with the potentially $20 million it might cost for the city to get into the program depending on how far back city leaders decide to let employees buy their credits and how many of them actually participate.

The plan, which was presented by TCRS Field Services Supervisor Melissa Davis, is something akin to Social Security in that it depends on current workers to pay for the benefits of those who are retired. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already in place for employ-

ees in Gatlinburg and Sevierville.

If the switch is made, current employees would have the option to keep their current retirement plan, an investment option provided

by Unified Trust, or join TCRS, while future hires would be required to take part in the new program.

Each participant would have to contribute the fixed rate of 5 percent of his or her salary, with the city matching that with its own portion.

After five years paying into the system, each worker would be considered vested. When they have either worked 30 years or turn 60, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be eligible to retire and receive full benefits based on a somewhat complicated formula that gives credit for both amount of time worked and the level of salary earned during the employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60 highest-yielding consecutive months.

In breaking that down, Davis said it essentially means someone who has worked for the city for 30 years could get as much as half their annual salary for each year of retirement if they participate in TCRS, which she said is one of the top-rated retirement pools in the world. They also have the option to have that

money paid out to a beneficiary, including spouses, relatives and even friends.

Since many employees would be joining part or most of the way through their careers, they might have the option to buy back their previous time, meaning they pay to get credit in the program for that prior service. Since the rate would be about 8 percent times each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary, those workers who choose to do that would have the opportunity to set up an installment plan if the money in their existing retirement accounts wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover it.

Additionally, if there were extra money in their current plans or if they just want to keep them, they could continue to contribute up to 3 percent of their annual salary to that pool, as well, Davis said.

Retirees on the plan could also get annual cost of living adjustments based on the rate approved by the General Assembly if city leaders approve both the program and the increases, which would likely range between 1 and 3 percent.

It seems at least most of the workers and officials in the room like the plan up to that point, with several of the employees asking for details on how long it might take the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a year

or more from when the process is initiated, Davis said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to get into the program. However, it became tricky when the details of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of the plan were outlined.

In order to support the benefit, the city would have to make an initial investment and increase the amount it pays annually for retirement plans by between $200,000 and $500,000. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to be a tough pill to swallow in the current economic climate.

That up front cost, which Davis said could range from a few million to more than $20 million depending on how the plan is structured, comes from the buy-back option,

Though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak up in the meeting, Vice Mayor Kevin McClure said after the meeting heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wholeheartedly in favor of making the move, despite the complications of finding a way to pay for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always been in favor of this,â&#x20AC;?

There are options for limiting that initial bill, including restricting the number of years employees can buy back.

However, city officials said they would want to offer as much time for buy back as they could. That might force them to rely on not having everyone participate in the program to level out the costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the big thing is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the city, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the employees and what we can afford,â&#x20AC;?

Little boys sure do love their mommies Is it a boy or a girl?

For around 17 weeks, that was the main thing that preoccupied my mind.

On our last trip to the doctor, I was worried that we would continue to be put on hold finding out the baby’s sex.

“You’ve got a belly sleeper,” the sonographer told us, pointing to the ultrasound screen that showed Little One on his tummy. “It might make it a little hard to see…”

But then, Baby swiftly turned on his side.

“Oh! Well, it’s a boy!” she said.

I laughed and exchanged big grins with my husband.

For some reason, I wasn’t surprised at all. Maybe it was because several people close to me had told me they thought I was carrying a “he” instead of a “she.”

How people came to this conclusion I’ll never know, but it made me think more about decorating the nursery in blue rather than pink.

I have always been the classic “girly girl.” There has never been a time when I wasn’t fascinated with clothes, jewelry and lipstick. I took ballet class for 11 years, and I was thrilled when my parents finally allowed me to enter my first beauty pageant at age 17.

I even took etiquette classes when I was in elementary school — and loved it.

Go ahead and call me “Miss Priss” — there are worse things.

For years I dreamed of having a little girl, a little “Mini Me” with whom I could share all of my favorite things.

I still expressed this desire to my mother around my senior year of college.

“Well, little boys are sweet, too,” she said (even though she only has two daughters).

“Little boys sure do love their mommies.”

She pointed out the close relationship her baby brother had with their mother, my precious grandmother. She also recalled seeing a TV clip of John F. Kennedy Jr. at his graduation, waving to Jackie and calling, “Mommy!” to get her attention.

Since then, I’ve noticed more often the special bond between mothers and sons. I’ve observed it with men I dated (including the man who would become my husband).

I’ve seen it with co-workers and friends who brag on their mothers. And I’ve seen it with my girlfriends who have become mothers to little boys.

No doubt about it, I’ve got a lot of learning to do on all things male. Come to think of it, I’ve been studying the opposite sex for years, and they still remain a mystery.

But somehow when I heard, “It’s a boy!” it just felt right.

I pictured holding him in my arms, watching him and his father toss around a football… taking him to see his grandfather, who was outnumbered by three women for years and can’t wait to introduce him to hunting, camping and other “guy things.”

I can already see his sweet little smile and imagine his fun little personality — and there’s no way I would trade him for a girl, because he’s my boy.

Dollywood kicks off annual holiday celebration

The large Christmas tree is the focal point of Showstreet, taking the place of the fountain during Smoky Mountain Christmas.

PIGEON FORGE — The country’s best Christmas celebration started Saturday as more than four million lights and a full bill of award-winning shows came to life.

Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas has three years in a row won the park a Golden Ticket Award for Best Christmas Event, earning it worldwide acclaim for an event that includes six impressive live productions, including “Babes in Toyland,” featuring giant toy soldiers and a flight over the audience. That show is starting its last season at the park.

“I’m thrilled that my Smoky Mountain Christmas festival won its third Golden Ticket Award for Best Christmas Event, and it means the world to me that families get to enjoy the smiles and squeals of the little kids — and the big kids, too — as they spend the holidays together at Dollywood,” namesake Dolly Parton says.

The festival is one of the most park’s most popular annual events and draws huge crowds to marvel at twinkling lights strung across restaurants, through trees, and around the 20 rides and attractions that continue to run through the winter months. Also for the third year the festivities will run into the new year, with its conclusion coming on Jan. 1.

As an added bonus, those who join the fun this year will have the chance to actually get some gifts from Dollywood during the Christmas season.

That’s because the two months of the festival mark the end of the park’s 25th anniversary festivities.

“This is the culmination of our big celebration,” Dollywood spokesman Pete Owens says. “We’re going to continue the celebrations we’ve had through the year and we’ll have some special things going on for that.”

Included in that are daily presentations of special gifts to season passholders who carry their cards in special lanyards. Additionally, the party gets a little boost on the 25th of each month, of which there is only one more the park will be open for.

All that notwithstanding, the park is bringing back its well-known Christmas traditions, including the shows “Christmas in the Smokies,” “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” “O’ Holy Night,” “An Appalachian Christmas,” “Carol of the Trees” and the Kingdom Heirs. Dollywood also won the Golden Ticket Award for having the best shows this year.

In the Imagination Cinema, the Polar Express 4D Experience will take guests on a journey to the North Pole, while a lighted Christmas parade will travel down the park’s main thoroughfare each evening, Owens says.

Also returning is the park’s ever-popular Carol of the Trees show, that features lighted Christmas trees bedecked with hundreds of lights that flash and change color in time to music.

Santa’s Workshop will once again fill the large events space in the Country Fair area, offering games and a chance for children to write letters to Santa Claus and even see the man in red himself.

This year’s festival marks the farewell of “Babes in Toyland,” the park’s $1.6 million stage production which premiered in 2006. Park officials decided, while still popular, it’s time to try something new in the show’s place, Owens says.

“It tickles me that so many people have enjoyed Dollywood’s ‘Babes in Toyland,’ and it’s become a holiday tradition for so many families,” Parton said. “But you know me; I want to keep offering folks bigger and better shows.”

That word “tradition” is a theme for the Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration. Featuring some of the long-held practices of Christmas celebrations in the Smoky Mountains, the festival keeps the past alive while every year inviting folks to a new and exciting holiday gathering, Owens says.

“Smoky Mountain Christmas is one of our best festivals,” Owens says, pointing out each of the celebrations is among the top-rated festivals in the Southeast. “It’s a tradition for a lot of families. It really transforms the park into a really special place.”

Public pulpit

Oppose sin in others, but never with bullying tactics

By ALDEN MARSHALL Bullies have hogged some headlines lately, as several students have committed suicide after they were bullied.

I get tired of reading time after time that bullies suffer from low selfesteem, or that they are victims, in other words.

No, they chose to have pride and arrogance, feeling that they are better than others, and deserve to inflict harm on those they consider weaker.

Bullies have a sense of entitlement, that they have a right to swagger and to have aggression by hitting or insulting others.

If one did research on those who defend bullies by saying we should feel sorry for them because they lack a sense of high esteem, I am convinced one would find that they robbed their fellow students of lunch money when they were younger, or mauled other smaller kids during recess, etc.

On the other hand, the Bible teaches that we are to do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

No one wants to be bullied, and therefore we are not to bully others.

That is sin and we need to repent of that when we do it.

Parents are responsible to teach children to love/ or at the very least, to treat others with politeness and respect. If one parent was a bully and one allowed it to flourish, then we are responsible

to learn decent behavior from other family members, or neighbors, or hopefully, some in our churches.

If the pastor or priest or imam is a bully, then go elsewhere.

I went to a church once with neighbors where the pastor asked what the term “snare of the fowler” meant. I knew it was saying the trap of the bird hunter, but did not want to speak out as a first time (and last time) visitor. He then berated the congregation for being ignorant, and they accepted that bullying.

The last I heard, the church is still growing very much.

A father stormed a school bus recently, confronting those students who had tormented his 13-year-old daughter who has cerebral palsy. Good for him! Yet someone with a criminal mind complained that he had bullied the bullies.

But when someone crosses the line to harm those who are weaker, kindness will be met with contempt. It will rightly be seen as weakness (see Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, ad nauseum).

If the objector were being robbed or mauled by someone, I do not doubt that he would appreciate a person who came by and stopped the aggression against him, as gently as possible but as firmly as necessary.

I realize that we need to seek balance prayerfully

when we think we see or hear of someone abusing a weaker person.

Christians were harmed in Nazi Germany (Hitler said no one could be German and Christian), communist Russia, in some Muslin countries, but neither Muslins nor homosexuals nor adulterers nor anyone else with whom we disagree, should not be harmed.

We have the right to call sin what the Bible calls sin, but since we are all guilty of sin — even if not the same ones — we need to oppose it first of all in ourselves, then in others as gently as possible but never with bullying/ insulting words or behavior.

Laws exist to protect us from thugs, and thankfully there are police and judges and military to ensure peace and domestic tranquillity. We need to be vigilant that these vital parts of society do not become bullies themselves.

“What does the Lord require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” We must pray much and hard in order to walk humbly with God, or we will be harsh instead of firm, and weak instead of merciful.

Without that balance, we will either be a bully, or one who accepts the bullying of ourselves and others.

— Dr. Alden Marshall is a Presbyterian minister who lives in Gatlinburg.

Jesus the High Priest

What is a priest?

It seems like a very easy question, but it might take us a minute. It is a lot easier to describe what a priest does, particularly in the Old Testament, than it is to actually define him. He is the one who offers the sacrifices, maintains the Tabernacle/Temple, and instructs the people (Leviticus). How can all of these be brought together?

We can settle on a fairly basic definition: a priest is a designated man who stands between God and the people. The people bring their sacrifices for God to the Temple; the priests offer them. The priests enter the places the “regular people” cannot go.

In that sense, Jesus, by definition, is the ultimate priest-- He is the Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). He stands between God and us in a most powerful way.

The Hebrew author describes Jesus as the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10) based on the prophecy found in Psalm 110:4. Jesus, like Melchizedek before Him, is both King and Priest (cf. Genesis 14:18, Hebrews 7:1-3), itself an extraordinary matter and responsibility.

Yet Jesus fulfills this task to an extent not seen before. Priests, by virtue of their work, sacrifice animals. They themselves cannot be the sacrifice-- in fact, the high priest must first sacrifice for his own sins before he can enter in and make sacrifice on behalf of the people (Leviticus 6:6, 11; Hebrews 7:27). Jesus, on the other hand, offers up Himself, the perfect, unblemished Lamb who can take away the sin of the whole world (John 1:29, Hebrews 7:27-28).

He is able to do this because He was sinless, holy, undefiled, and separate from sinners, but is not really distant-- He can sympathize with our weaknesses, having been tempted Himself in all points, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15) and having learned obedience through the things He suffered (Hebrews 5:8).

This ought to leave us breathless, really. A perfect mixture of holiness and humility, righteousness and love, separation and sympathy. Jesus is never sanctimonious, for He upholds the right while being willing to suffer with people, sympathizing with their plight. His ministry is all the more excellent because He was willing to suffer death so that we might be reconciled to God and live (Romans 5:6-11, Hebrews 5:6-9)! Thus Jesus is able to save us to the uttermost, inaugurating a new and superior covenant!

It is immediately apparent that no matter how righteously we might live we will never be anywhere near reaching the perfect ministry of Christ. That high priesthood in the order of Melchizedek is properly suited for One and only One, and we are not Him! We ought to thank God continually for such a perfect and wonderful High Priest!

Nevertheless, in establishing the new covenant and being the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, Jesus changes the nature of priesthood entirely (cf. Hebrews 7-9). Much is often made of the description of all Christians as priests in 1 Peter 2:5, 9, but consider what is being said in those passages. In 1 Peter 2:9, Peter uses many descriptions of physical Israel to describe the spiritual Israel-- Christians are as much an “elect race” and “holy nation” as a “royal priesthood.” Furthermore, what do we find in 1 Peter 2:5? Christians are being built up into a holy (spiritual) Temple, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices. And what is that spiritual sacrifice but ourselves (Romans 12:1)? A strange priesthood this is-- we are as much the sacrifice as the priest!

Therefore, as we are able, we do well to follow Jesus’ example. Today He is the only One who stands between God and the people (1 Timothy 2:5); we point to Him to show people the face of God and how to live as redeemed believers made in His image (Genesis 1:27, John 1:18).

upl and chronicles

Little Smoky Bowl was a Thanksgiving fixture

By Carroll McMahan In early autumn of 1949, the Rev. Robert L. Houston, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Sevierville presented a detailed master plan to the Sevierville Lions Club that aroused the imagination of the club and community.

The Lions Club, formed in 1939, had supported several community projects, including the planning and construction of the SeviervilleGatlinburg Highway, the local Boy Scouts, a bowling alley, traffic lights, street lights and eyeglasses for school children.

After World War II, the club treasury was “in the red” and there were no fundraising projects on the horizon.

Houston, a star athlete at Maryville College and chairman of the Lions Club finance committee, suggested a Thanksgiving Day postseason football game between Sevier County High and an invited team, complete with a parade and crowning a queen. The event would be called Little Smoky Bowl.

The Smoky Bears had lost games by scores of 44-0 and 66-0. The fledgling marching band was struggling for existence and in desperate need of new uniforms.

Newly elected Lions Club President Bill Atchley, together with the entire membership, accepted the challenge and worked tirelessly promoting the initial festivities. Franklin (N.C.) High School was invited to challenge SCHS in the game on Nov. 24, 1949. The club felt a team from another state would add interest.

Each class at Sevier County elected a representative to compete for Little Smoky Bowl Queen. The Lions Club membership selected a captain and teams for each candidate to assist the students raise funds. Whichever opponent brought in the most money, would be crowned Little Smoky Bowl Queen at halftime.

Using purple paint, several members of the club painted “Little Smoky Bowl” on the corner of downtown sidewalks to generate interest.

While pitching the idea, Rev. Houston declared, “I will leave town if we don’t net at least $1,000 the first year.” He did not have to move away as the first Little Smoky Bowl was a tremendous success, netting almost $2,000.

A crowd of several hundred lined the downtown streets for the pre-game parade. Two thousand fans witnessed the Smoky Bears defeat the Panthers at Alumni Field. Joanna Bailey was crowned queen .

For the next two decades, the Little Smoky Bowl was a Thanksgiving Day tradition. The Lions Club put the funds raised to good use, supporting the high school school athletic and band programs and other worthwhile community projects.

TSSAA regulations eventually prohibited invitational post-season bowl games unless they were tied to a favorable win-loss record by participating teams in the regular season. The 20th and last Little Smoky Bowl was held in 1968.

For several years following the last bowl, a regular season game was incorporated into a Smoky Festival but did not generate the enthusiasm of the original holiday game which had become the oldest postseason high school bowl game in Tennessee.

Sevier County High School was host team in 19 of the 20 bowls.

They were victorious in 15 games, tied three and lost one. The only exception was 1966 when the Smoky Bears were prohibited from competition for the entire season due to TSSAA rules violations.

A list of opponents and results in the Little Smoky Bowl: n 1949: Sevier County 19, Franklin 13 n 1950: Sevier County 26, Mars Hill (N.C.) 13 n 1951: Sevier County 7, Carter 0 n 1952: Sevier County 7, Vonore 7 n 1953: Sevier County 20, Harrison-Chilhowee 6 n 1954: Sevier County 13,Walland 7 n 1955: Sevier County 6, Clinton 6 n 1956: Sevier County 19, Halls 7 n 1957- Sevier County 14, LaFollette 6 n 1958: Sevier County 0, Knoxville West 0 n 1959: Sevier County 28, Knoxville South 0 n 1960: Sevier County 25, Holston 7 n 1961: Sevier County 13, Karns 6 n 1962: Sevier County 40, Knoxville South 0 n 1963: Sevier County 35, Rule 0 n 1964: Sevier County 21, Church Hill 6 n 1965: Sevier County 14, Holston 14 n 1966: Seymour 7, Maury 25 n 1967: Sevier County 7, Powell 0 n 1968: Sevier County

Queen in 1976.

At the conclusion of the first Little Smoky Bowl in 1949, Rev. Houston proclaimed his only regret was being too shy to kiss the queen when he placed the crown on her head. In 1958, the red-faced minister was brought onto the field during halftime ceremonies of the 10th Little Smoky Bowl to rectify the earlier omission by kissing the queen.

Each year, as Thanksgiving approaches, many local residents

reminisce about the community spirit and pride associated with the Little Smoky Bowl.
