GATLINBURG — Every Tuesday, when they hear the familiar horn on the church van, they flock to the volunteers. Some manage a smile. That might be the most striking thing about their situation — that they can still smile so easily. But, then, how do you not be pleased by people who are dropping off food that could help you make it another week?

rooms may not be working or sufficient. Usually there’s no dishwasher. If they keep any silverware that’s not plastic, they must wash it out in the sink. No washer and dryer — not even a hookup. They might have a small closet — but not one big enough for a family. A few places let tenants keep pets. In such a transient lifestyle, the animals become their only constant companions — for children and adults. “If it weren’t for my dog,� said one man, “I’d have no friends at all.� Many have newborns, but there’s no place for a crib. The baby might get the whole bed. Chairs? Usually just one. Privacy? Forget it. It’s one room. A family of four with two small children is sharing one room at one motel. They have a dresser. It’s used by the kids. “We just fold our clothes and put them in a basket,� the mother said. They’re a sweet family, at least for the short time they’re with volunteers from Bread of Life and a tagalong reporter. The children run around smiling, offering everyone some of the candy they just got from Bread of Life. But no matter how they try to make it work, it’s not easy for a family that size to live in a single room. Mother and father don’t have alone time to talk about bills or work, or just to enjoy each other’s company without the kids around. If the weather’s nice, many of them go downtown or walk to the parks. This particular day, Bread of Life volunteers had something new for the people. Meals Ready to Eat — MRE’s — are a staple of military life. They’re typically dehydrated foods, made for soldiers to have something to keep them going in the field. They aren’t known for great taste. The agency managed to get some from a place in Oneida. Despite all the tourist dollars flowing through Sevier County and Gatlinburg, Bread of Life often has to travel outside the area to get money or supplies. But one man stands off to the side as a group comes to pick up the food. He jokes with the volunteers and the residents, with a flash of a smile that appears quickly but fades just as abruptly. Throughout the visit, he cracks wise with the other tenants and everyone, but he doesn’t get in line himself for gifts. Then one of the volunteers has an idea. “Aren’t you a vet?� he asks the man. The man stands a little straighter. “Yeah.� “Well we have something you might enjoy this time.� “What’s that?� “We got some MREs in this pack. Would you like some?� The grin splits his face again and this time it doesn’t disappear. “Really? I love MREs!� He takes them, along with the bread and other items,

thanks everybody and finally heads in to escape the rain. The volunteer shakes his head. “That’s the first time I’ve been coming here that he’s ever taken food,� the volunteer said. Most of the tenants ask that their names not be used for this story. They give different reasons. Some say they fear retaliation if they complaint about conditions in their homes. For others it’s pride. They don’t want people to know how they’ve fallen. “We call it the ghetto,� said one woman. “Because it is the Gatlinburg ghetto.� The nickname comes up with other people at other motels. Many say requests for maintenance either go unheeded or may take months go be resolved. One tenant says she’s been waiting for months for repairs to be completed; she asks not to give the specifics because she fears her landlord might figure out who she is and retaliate. “He doesn’t care about the tenants,� another resident said. “He doesn’t help his managers. He doesn’t take care of problems.� Some say that he has his managers come by asking for the same rent twice. “He harasses us,� one man said. But still, some of them manage to smile when they see the van from First United Methodist Church coming. The Bread of Life has arrived. They know the van comes every Tuesday afternoon, so when the driver blows the horn as he enters the lot, doors start opening. The shy or more cautious sorts may peer through the blinds or curtains first. There are hugs, updates on the kids, and inquiries about what’s going on in the complex. One person moved out. Another disappeared. A newcomer could really use some help. A few stand to the side. Some look down. It’s obviously hard to meet the eyes of a person who’s giving them food. To admit they can’t take care of that basic need for themselves or, worse, for their kids. But a growling stomach or young mouths to feed overcomes pride. Even if they aren’t smiling, almost everyone is polite: “Thank you so much� and “God bless� and “Be safe�

are heard a lot. It’s clear there’s a sense of community among them as well. One man — one of the Vietnam veterans, a soft-spoken and unassuming person — asks for a blanket. As they drive away, members of Bread of Life say he asks for a blanket several times a year. He gives the blankets he has to others who move through. The tenants give different stories on how they came to be in this situation. Some were staying with parents, but just couldn’t do it any more so they tried to strike out on their own. Some are making do on disability from a variety of ailments. There’s several veterans; many from Vietnam service. Others are open about having gone through — and still going through — bouts with addiction or alcoholism. One, in particular, asks how to get to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. “I’m getting (messed) up all the time,� he said. “I need help. I gotta get help. I’m gonna die.� How they get there varies, but the difficulty of getting out remains the same. They’re paying monthly rates of $400 to $540. With other expenses, that can be quite a bit for people working minimum wage, or just collecting disability or unemployment. There’s not always health insurance coverage. And then there’s the cost of food, clothes, transportation, hygiene. Lose any of those — except maybe the food — and they’re likely out of a job if they have one. That doesn’t leave much money for paying the deposit on a home — much less a deposit for utilities and other moving costs. If they have no car, their job has to be within walking distance or accessible to public transportation. The city’s trolleys don’t always match their work schedules. One woman sums up the plight that most of them are facing: “I’d love to get an apartment,� she said, “but I just can’t afford it.�

Director Jim Faig. “They were taking staples out to the motels and meeting those people trying to minister to them, and as they began to do that they noticed there were more needs than one church could handle.� They approached First Baptist and Our Savior Lutheran to form Friends In Need. Now, the group helps with Bread of Life, which takes food to families and individuals living in motels that accept tenants who may be paying monthly, weekly or even daily. The motels give them a roof, along with utilities, a phone and even cable television. However, many of the tenants are working minimum wage jobs, or collecting unemployment or disability. Some are military veterans; some may have mental or other health problems. Some are struggling with addiction or alcoholism. They often have bad credit ratings and can’t afford the deposits required to move into other rental properties or to buy a house. Costly deposits for utilities are also an issue for some looking to make the decision. Paying for shelter may mean they can’t make payments on a car. It can mean a choice between food and shelter, too. And that’s where Friends in Need is stepping in. “It’s just a matter of finding a need and filling a hole,� Faig said. They have created the “Kids Cafe� after-school program, which works in conjunction with Second Harvest of Knoxville to provide hot meals and mentors for children. During school terms, they send food home every weekend for some children using another program in conjunction with Second Harvest. “Every Friday there’s 400 kids in this area out here

Children play games during Kids Cafe last year at First Baptist Church of Gatlinburg. that receive some food to try to get them through the weekend until they can get back to school, and at that point they’re having breakfast and lunch subsidized through the system,� Faig explained. Students are served at Pi Beta Phi, Pittman Center, Jones Cove and Catons Chapel elementary schools and Gatlinburg-Pittman High. The organization has joined in a nationwide program, Oxford House, that aims to help recovering addicts and alcoholics. Up to eight men live under one roof and help to pay rent as well as other costs and make decisions as a group. Residents hold each

other accountable for staying sober and for keeping up with the responsibilities they’ll take on again when they move out. “It’s not a halfway house, it’s not a recovery center, it’s eight men doing the best they can to stay sober,� said Byron Jordan, the vice president of FIN and the man who spearheaded efforts to build an Oxford House in Gatlinburg.

someone who lets them rent weekly,� he said. Some accuse him of being little more than a slumlord. Some residents told The Mountain Press they refer to their quarters as the “Gatlinburg ghetto.� Several of his tenants said that they had a hard time getting repairs or maintenance done. They asked not to use their names or specifics of their situations because they feared retaliation. But Kaplow said his properties are inspected regularly by city officials, including yearly reviews by the building inspector and fire officials, and weekly drive-throughs. “The city of Gatlinburg inspects every one of my units every year. It’s a rigorous standard and if it doesn’t meet the standard, they come back until I do.� Each of his hotels has a manager. Tenants can call the managers or him, he said, and they can call the city building inspector or health department. But he said he works to see that the apartments are well maintained and that repairs are done quickly. “As far as I know, we take care of things,� he said. His long-time manager said that the people who criticized the units and management don’t represent most of their tenants. John Eames manages the Rocky River, Rainbow and Creekside motels. He’s been with Kaplow for two and a half years; during that time he’s managed some of Kaplow’s other motels as well. “If you went through my three places, I don’t think you’d get any complaints,� he said. “I jump on anything anybody wants. I’d do anything for them.� He admits that things weren’t in great shape at the apartments when he started, but he said Kaplow had a difficult time finding good managers before. Some of the previous managers would have power cut off for tenants who weren’t paying bills, and that helped create some of the animosity that he believes still lingers toward his employer. “I know one thing in this time, it’s Stuart’s gotten a lot of bad rap,� Eames said. “These places have changed 180 degrees from where they were three or four years ago,� he added. “Management’s improved, maintenance has improved and tenants have improved.� If tenants have complaints, he said, he tries to respond promptly. City officials painted a different picture. The

city commission passed new codes concerning rental housings that are more stringent about three years ago, and commissioners told personnel to get out and enforce it. “I think it’s more or less our inspection process rather than the owners doing it on their own,� said assistant city manger Ron White. “We’re definitely getting their attention that they can’t have things the way they used to be.� Kaplow said he hears a number of stories when it comes to why people want to move into housing like he provides. Moving into a new home or apartment can mean some hefty deposits, he noted — for utilities, as well as for the landlord or the bank. For people who are making minimum wage or little more, that’s not always an option. Some of them have bad credit ratings, and some of them have a bad history with their previous landlords. Even if they can afford it at the beginning, some find that they can’t afford the monthly fees. His fee includes cable television, utilities and phone service. “I don’t know what these people would do if I wasn’t around,� Kaplow said. “I think I’m probably cheaper than a trailer because the heat (bill) alone kills them.� He sets monthly rents, but often lets tenants start making payments by the week or, in some cases, daily instead of evicting them. The least expensive units he has cost about $400 a month, he said. Tenants often ask if they can rent cheaper housing so they can begin saving money for deposits and other costs, he said. Alternatively, some move up to have more amenities. Some of his units have a kitchen as well. The people living in his units work in almost every sort of business in Gatlinburg, he said. “Pretty much everybody you see working in Gatlinburg, a lot of them are living at my places. They work at the restaurants as servers or bussers or in the kitchens, they work at the hotels in the front desk or housekeeping. They used to do construction but that’s way down.� And that’s one of the reason he said he went into the rental business. While he owns old hotels, they aren’t designated for short-term stays, and he doesn’t look to serve tourists or compete with nightly hotels. Eames noted managers try to be patient with tenants who can’t make payments, which is not uncommon. Not many landlords would have the patience Kaplow has in that situation, he said. “You can owe $1,000 to this man and he’ll still rent you a room,� Eames said.

of housing codes already on the books, and that is where the city has focused its efforts, Ogle said. “Quite candidly, there is no active effort at this time in that regard (to building new housing),� Ogle said, but that doesn’t mean they’ve abandoned those plans. “It’s certainly not that, but I guess our focus has been more in getting city commission ... To embrace this property maintenance code and then having these inspections.� “We have a very active inspection program.� To that end, two fire inspectors and two building inspectors go out to different properties once a week to see to it that they meet the codes. Assistant City Manager and Public Works Director

Ron Greene oversees those inspections. They try to be as thorough as possible, he said, looking first for safety issues and also for maintenance issues when they go to each property. If there’s a discrepancy, they point it out to the owner, or a property manager or maintenance person, Greene said. The deadline depends on how serious a violation is and how long it could reasonably take to resolve it. A maintenance problem might be something they can come back for later in the week. If it’s a threat to anyone’s safety, they stay on site until the problem is resolved — or until everyone living in the block of rooms is relocated to other dwellings. “We try not to be overbearing but at the same time we expect the tenants to be able to live in a safe place,� Greene said.

While officials with the ownership of most of the apartments ay they’ve been making efforts to clean up their properties, Greene said that hasn’t particularly been a voluntary process. “I think it’s more or less our inspection process rather than the owners doing it on their own,� he said. “We’re definitely getting their attention that they can’t have things the way they used to be. “We have made it an effort to take things into hand and to make sure these improvements take place. Whether we have to go through the court system or shutting down buildings, we’re going to make sure these come up to code one way or another.� Eventually, though, the city still aims to return to the proposal of building its own low-income housing. Ogle said officials

"

conditions

have talked about that with members of Friends In Need, a Gatlinburg charity that serves people living in the motels. The biggest hurdle, Ogle said, will be finding money for that kind of work. “The last discussions we had with the Friends In Need group was to talk about the possibility of doing some type of project and trying to pursue that, and we would still be very open to those kind of discussions,� Ogle said. “The viability (of paying for it) is a different discussion, but we’re certainly open to those discussions.� n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

From Submitted Reports The Sevier County Farm Service Agency Committee is accepting applications for benefits under the Livestock Forage Program. Applicants must have Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program or crop insurance. Producers who meet the requirements of a socially disadvantaged limited resource, or beginning farmer, do not have to meet the requirement of crop insurance or NAP therefore are not required to have paid the buy-in fee. Chairman Terry Chaney said FSA will consider granting relief to producers who did not meet the program eligibility provisions. All requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the secretary of agriculture. LFP provides producer payments to eligible livestock producers that suffered 2008 grazing losses due to drought. The final date to sign up in the LFP program is Dec. 10.

He had previously said he would pay for the route by making his development a special assessment district, which would have given him access to special bond funding to pay for infrastructure improvements that he could have paid for by adding what amounts to an additional tax on tenants or people who bought property in that area. Turley now says that isn’t feasible because of the recession. His new access road would come out in the same area where the proposed interstate exit would be located. The board will also once again discuss the county’s request for a water line. Other items to be discussed at the workshop

Gatlinburg to host public workshop on greenways By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer The City of Gatlinburg will host a public workshop at 5 p.m. Monday at City Hall to discuss development of the community’s Greenways Trail System master plan. Gatlinburg staff and representatives of engineering firm Barge, Wagonner, Sumner and Cannon Inc. will conduct the workshop. The city has received a $20,000 grant from the Department of Environment Conservation’s Recreation, Trails and Parks Program, the maximum amount granted for planning. “This (workshop) is the second step in the process,� said Marty Nicely, director

of recreation. “The first step was in September, when we met with BWSCI and identified potential corridors.� Monday’s workshop will include a PowerPoint presentation that will display proposed routes. Maps on which the public can mark their own suggestions will be available as well. “We’ll dispel some myths about greenways,� Nicely said. “We have some challenges that other cities don’t have — we don’t have a lot of flat land — but we are still optimistic that we can get a plan that the public will support. The only way it can be successful is if the public supports it.� For more information, call Nicely at 436-4990.

Zoning request on agenda By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — County officials will get their second shot Monday at a dispute that has been roiling in the Planning Commission for months, when they meet at 7 p.m. in the courthouse. On the agenda for that session is a rezoning request from Mark D’Alessandro, who is asking that property in the 100 block of Sky Drive be changed from a C-2 (general commercial) zoning to R-1 (rural residential). D’Alessandro doesn’t own the property. The man who does — Jesse Cook — opposes the rezoning. Cook has announced his plans to put up 24 apartments in three buildings. He says he bought the property earlier this year specifically for that purpose and made sure it had the proper zoning before he made the purchase. He has threatened “the big-

gest lawsuit this county’s seen� if he isn’t allowed to proceed. On the other side, Cook’s neighbors, including D’Alessandro, have also threatened legal action against the county if the plan is allowed. They say the construction would have untold negative impact on their properties, and they believe the lot Cook plans to use isn’t suitable for apartment buildings. The rezoning effort is an attempt to stop Cook, with apartments of the type he hopes to build forbidden in R-1 zones. The issue was tabled during last month’s County Commission session after questions were raised about the original zoning maps that were adopted in late 2006. County Planner Jeff Ownby committed to trying to track down those documents, and the commissioners opted to wait. For now it appears the issue may be somewhat moot. Officials with the Tennessee Department of

Environment and Conservation have said Cook will have to present them with a plan for controlling potential erosion under his parking lot before he’s allowed to proceed. Though he told the County Commission he’s committed to following what he calls new rules on development, Ownby says he previously told him he won’t be spending more money to modify his existing plan. Also on the agenda for Monday’s session: n A resolution honoring Planning Commission member Joe Irwin, who died in October n A resolution to appoint a committee to identify the physical boundaries of historical communities of Sevier County n A resolution to allow the Sevier County mayor to enter into a lease agreement with Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Floyd calls aides ‘gang of thugs’

NASHVILLE (AP) — Republican state Rep. Richard Floyd of Chattanooga in an e-mail calls President Barack Obama and his administration a “socialist leader ... and his gang of thug.” The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that in the e-mail sent to supporters from his personal account, Floyd referred to two antigun bills purportedly being considered by Congress. But records show one of the bills has only one sponsor in the 435-member House and appears stuck in committee. The other failed in 2000 and has been dismissed by the National Rifle Association as “recycling an old alert, which wasn’t even very accurate when it was new.”

Center links refugees with jobs NASHVILLE (AP) — Hamdi Dahir can transform a woman’s hands, legs and fingers from ordinary flesh into a canvas for temporary henna tattoos with almost brocade-like intricacy in a matter of minutes. Dahir, a refugee from Somalia, has a talent. What she doesn’t have is a job, or the ability to speak English with the confidence necessary to describe her self-taught design skills to a business owner who might need them.

Enter the Center for Refugees and Immigrants of Tennessee. In September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement awarded the Nashvillebased Center for Refugees and Immigrants a $195,608 grant for each of the next three years to help refugees like Dahir overcome the kinds of language and cultural hurdles that sometimes stand between refugees and meaningful work. “In a withered econo-

my, knowing how to market one’s hidden skills and somehow finding out about those hidden jobs is absolutely critical,” said Carter Moody, the center’s development director. “That’s where the work is.” Over the first year of the grant, the center hopes to connect 52 individuals with jobs that are held for at least 90 days. In September, the most recent month for which data are available, unemployment in Tennessee stood at 10.5 percent,

down from a high of 10.7 percent a month before. The tough climate for jobs all but requires refugees and immigrants to draw on basic networking skills. Since the start of the year, 1,019 individuals have been resettled in Tennessee by nonprofit agencies that partner with the federal government. More than two-thirds have been resettled in Nashville and hail from countries such as Myanmar (Burma), Bhutan, Iraq and Somalia.

Dog gone

Gibbons’ early life overcome with education It is a story that exemplifies the American spirit and what can be accomplished through hard work, an education, a supportive parent and a little luck. Bill Gibbons, the Republican district attorney general of Shelby County (Memphis), is running for governor of Tennessee. That’s a good story by itself. But his rise to prominence is an even better story. He’s the youngest of six children, raised on a small farm in southern Arkansas. “My father was an alcoholic, and he walked out on us when I was 4,” Gibbons said during a visit last week to The Mountain Press. “It’s one of my earliest memories.” Young Bill watched as his mother tried to keep the family together. But he also saw possessions sold off to generate money for food. It wasn’t long before every piece of furniture in the Gibbons household was sold. Five dollars for a chair, $10 for a table. “We had no car and no phone,” he said. “We had no TV until I was 10 and an older brother got us one. We had no access to medical care.” They lost the farm to foreclosure. But through it all, the one possession Gibbons’ mother would not sell was her collection of books. “I grew up in poverty,” he said, “but we had a house full of books.” He missed a lot of school in his younger days, but a fourth-grade teacher entered his life and helped turn things around. At a point when it appeared he’d have to repeat the fourth grade because of his lack of a foundation in the basics, this teacher saw his intelligence and how well read he was. To fail him seemed wrong to her. “She said I had missed so many days I was supposed to repeat fourth grade, but she let me go in to fifth grade because within 20 minutes of after-school help she saw I was a good reader. She helped me realize there was a way out of my life through education.” The man who bought the farm became a friend and put him to work on the farm after school and weekends. He even helped Bill with school projects. An Arkansas Republican in a state that was solidly Democratic back then, this man became a tutor in GOP politics. When Gibbons was 15 an older brother moved the family to Memphis. He attended a good public school, then earned a scholarship to Vanderbilt. Gibbons got his degree in political science, then completed law school at Vandy. He’s in his second term as DA for Shelby County, a Democratic stronghold he carried with 60 percent of the vote when seeking re-election. He defeated a Democrat who got Bill Clinton and John Kerry to make recorded calls to people urging them to vote against Gibbons. Gibbons’ wife, Julia, is a federal district judge and thus unable to campaign for her husband. The DA has a tough battle to win the Republican nomination for governor, facing Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey. Gibbons bases his campaign on three key issues: the economy, crime and education. He sees those issues as interrelated. If crime can be reduced — the state has the second highest violent crime rate in the nation — it will be a boost to the economy. An improved education system will enhance job opportunities. Gibbons backs sentencing reforms to ensure violent criminals stay in prison, He wants a second offense for domestic violence treated as a felony, not a misdemeanor. He wants a DUI suspect to be required to take a Breathalyzer test; now it’s up to the suspect. He likes drug addiction courts to offer nonviolent offenders a chance at treatment to avoid jail time. He will veto any state income tax passed by the Legislature. He wants to make infrastructure improvements a priority, and will encourage industrial megasites in which several governments join together to attract industry. He wants to allow retirees to be able to teach in public schools, and he backs more charter schools than allowed by the state. Jimmy Dunn, Sevier County’s DA, is backing Gibbons, as is Seymour’s Rob Ailey, former head of the county GOP. Gibbons has his work cut out to gain the nomination nine months from now. But after overcoming his early challenges, winning an election seems almost a snap. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press. His column appears each Sunday.

Miss Ellie didn’t win the big prize, but she and Humane Society are winners nonetheless It was a long shot at best. Winning popularity contests like this one often is a long shot. But this community is proud of the showing Miss Ellie, the Comedy Barn dog, had in the cutest dog competition. Though she won’t compete for the $1 million prize, she won a weekly contest and had the judges’ attention. Miss Ellie, more than 16 years old and in bad health, remains a beloved canine in the show and in person. Hey, how many dogs do you know that could win an ugliest dog contest and almost win a cutest dog contest? When the cutest dog contest kicked off online earlier this year, Miss Ellie was entered. Twelve weekly contests were scheduled, with the weekly winners — the ones that got the most Internet votes — entered into a chance to be one of four finalists. The overall winner would earn $1 million. The owner of the Comedy Barn, Fee/Hedrick Entertainment, agreed to give the $1 million prize to the Sevier County Humane Society, which oper-

ates the county’s animal shelter and has an ongoing and critical need for resources. It was a generous gesture by the dog’s owner, one that sparked community pride and an earnest effort to try to win at least a weekly contest. To make the final four, a panel of judges selected from among the 12 weekly winners. That took it out of the voters’ hands, and that spelled doom for Miss Ellie. On Thursday morning, a few hours before a Miss Ellie party at the Comedy Barn, it was learned she hadn’t made the list of four finalists. Disappointing? Yeah, but you can’t be disappointed in how the contest galvanized the community. Miss Ellie was one of the highest vote getters throughout the three-month contest. She would have been a formidable challenger for the title. Say what you want about the dog, she does have a hold on her audience and her fans. The added bonus of earning a million dollars for an important and underappreciated agency like the Humane Society made it even more of

a community rallying point. What makes this story more heartwarming is what Fee/Hedrick has done for the Humane Society, despite the dog not making it to the finals. Both David Fee and Jim Hedrick donated thousands of dollars of their own money to the society. Had Miss Ellie made it to the final four she’d have won $5,000 just for that. The entertainment company already had given $10,000 to the Humane Society for the votes Miss Ellie got in winning a weekly contest. Then came another $5,000 from the Comedy Barn. This means the Sevier County Humane Society received $25,000 from Miss Ellie’s participation, due to the generosity of David Fee and Jim Hedrick and their company. That’s a wonderful and magnanimous gesture of support and gratitude, but not uncommon for these two men. Many thanks to Fee/Hedrick, Miss Ellie and all who supported this great cause. This was not a defeat, folks. This was a victory.

Public forum Military veteran grateful for support during special holiday

Editor: Thank you, Rylee Jo Maples and many others. As a military veteran I am often touched when attending numerous local shows year after year. Sometimes I find myself wiping tears of gratitude and remembrance. The fact these shows take the time to recognize the sacrifices made by the country’s military never grows old. After a 20.5-year career, I returned home — one of the lucky ones. Some of my shipmates,

fellow Marines and Army fared not as well. Even when not faced with gunfire or other seemingly insurmountable circumstances, the military is a hard life that not all are cut out for. Separation is hard, missing major family altering events, spending extreme hours under extreme pressure are only a few items each military member faces daily. We ask not for pity or reward, but it makes us feel better when others recognize the sacrifices we choose to bear. We took an oath to God and country. Despite our likes or dislikes of particular policies and leaders, we held true to our oath. We believe in our country and the need to defend the freedoms given by our

forefathers. Rylee Jo Maples, age 11, of Maryville took the time to recognize her grandfather, a Vietnam veteran, as well as all other military. Her little letter made it into the local paper, The Mountain Press. Needless to say this small act of gratitude touched my heart, the memories of many years spent serving beside some of the greatest Americans, and how important it is just to hear a kind thank you, especially from one so young. Rylee Jo Maples, thank you for having touched me this Veterans Day. Charles Rhodes U.S. Navy (retired)

TENNESSEE VOLUTNEERS FOOTBALL

McCluster torches Vols for 4 TDs as Rebs roll Back goes for school-record 282 yards as Ole Miss thumps Tennessee 42-17 By MARY FOSTER AP Sports Writer OXFORD, Miss. — Dexter McCluster says being 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds has its advantages on the football field. No Tennessee defender could argue with the Mississippi standout Saturday. McCluster rushed for 282 yards and finished with 324 all-purpose yards, setting two Mississippi records, and the Rebels ran over the Volunteers 42-17. He broke the Rebels’ singlegame rushing record of 242 by Dou Innocent in 1995. He eclipsed the all-purpose mark of 317 yards by Deuce McAllister in 1999. “My size works to my advantage,” McCluster said. “When they see me, it’s too late.” McCluster scored on runs of 15, 23, 32 and 71 yards in Ole Miss’ first win against the Volunteers since 1983. “For 170 pounds he is special,” said Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt. “He can make the first AP/Oxford Eagle/Bruce Newman one miss.

Titans look for 3rd straight win after bye By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Flanked by his parents Deidra Odom and Mike Farragut, as well as SCHS Athletic Director Todd Loveday and baseball coach Lance Traywick, Michael Farragut signs with King College on Friday morning in the high school library. PREP BASEBALL

Smoky Bears’ Farragut picks King College for baseball future By JASON DAVIS Sports Editor SEVIERVILLE — Michael Farragut is a renaissance man of sorts on the baseball field. Whether it be fielding the middle infield, batting for a high average at the plate or picking up a big win on the mound, when it comes to Smoky Bear baseball, the senior captain can do it all. And a coaching staff at the next level took notice. Friday morning Wear signed a letter of intent to play baseball for the King College Tornado following his graduation from SCHS. At King he’ll join former SCHS

teammates Josh Wear and Brandon Palmer. “I’m excited. That’s a big deal, being around my brothers again. They’ve got a year on me, so they’ll give me the basics on what to do and what not to do,” Farragut said. “That’s what I really like about (King).” What King likes about Farragut is his multifaceted play and unbridled desire to win. “One thing in our program we preach to them is it’s better to be respected than liked — popularity is fleeting, respect is forever,” SCHS coach Lance Traywick said. “If any kid’s ever taken that to heart, it’s Michael Farragut.

“From day one as a freshman, he set a tone and a was a leader. After the first month of him being there we voted team captains, and the team unanimously voted him as a captain as a freshman. “That right there sums up the character and work ethic and what the boys think of him,” Traywick continued. “By first gaining their respect, the kids loved him. He’s undoubtedly the leader of our club. On a scale of 1-10, he’s an 11. He’s the kind of young man you want your child to become.” Sevier County Athletic Director See FARRAGUT, Page A11

NASHVILLE — The Buffalo Bills are hoping to follow Tennessee’s example in how to bounce back into the win column coming off a bye. The Titans (2-6) have won two straight since their bye, a muchneeded break from six straight losses to open the season. Buffalo coach Dick Jauron can’t remember having a bye this late and his Bills (3-5) could use another break to heal up a bit more. But they do get Trent Edwards back at quarterback. “If this team wants to go where we want to go, we’re going to need to come out strong and come out and play the way we need to play,” Edwards said. “We’ve had two weeks to prepare for it, and it’s going to be a big test for us.” Tennessee is trying to streak in a new direction, and the Titans feel they are back to playing the way they did a year ago in putting up the NFL’s best record at 13-3. The 0-6 start? The bye week helped them make a clean break. “As far as we’re concerned, we’re just moving on,” Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck said. “We have two now. It takes two to get three.” While Tennessee is trying to salvage this season, Buffalo arguably hasn’t been the same since the Music City Miracle playoff loss here in January 2000. The Titans have been to the playoffs five times since. The Bills? Well, the AFC’s winningest team of the 1990s now threatens to finish off the first decade of this century shut out of the postseason. The offseason signing of receiver Terrell Owens hasn’t provided the offensive boost they wanted, and he is having his worst season since his rookie year with 23 catches for 281 yards and one touchdown. A hip strain that surfaced Tuesday could limit or keep Owens out Sunday.

“As far as we’re concerned, we’re just moving on,” Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck said. “We have two now. It takes two to get three.”

Lee Evans, who hasn’t benefited much from Owens’ presence, thinks the Bills have corrected their mistakes. “We’re at a point in the season now where every game is that much bigger, and mistakes are going to cost you a lot more, so it’ll be a bigger sense of urgency,” Evans said. Edwards missed the last two games after being knocked out by a concussion in a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets on Oct. 18, but had thrown for only one TD with five interceptions before being hurt. The offense hasn’t produced 300 yards in a game over the past six games. The Bills have only five TDs in that stretch, including their 31-10 home loss to Houston on Nov. 1. “We’re looking forward to giving Trent a shot, and we’ve done some different things with our offense starting just when he got hurt, starting in that game, so hopefully those will help him and help us be more productive,” Jauron said. The Titans’ winning streak coincides with Vince Young back as the starting quarterback. But Tennessee’s success is due to Chris Johnson, the NFL’s leading rusher with 959 yards, and a defense that has eight sacks and six turnovers in those two wins, including last week’s 34-27 victory at San Francisco. Young has not turned over the ball since returning to the starting job. But the Titans have limited his throws, choosing to run See TITANS, Page A10

won’t just run out of bounds on a long run. He’ll cut back against the grain and separate to get into the end zone.� It’s the most rushing yards ever given up to an individual player by the Volunteers. Tennessee had yielded 217 yards to Colorado’s Mike Pritchard in 1990 and Alabama’s Bobby Humphrey in 1986. “We didn’t have a way to tackle him,� Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin said. “He set a school record for rushing yards, and we probably set a record for missed tackles.� Ole Miss (7-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) — off to its best start since 2003 — clinched bowl eligibility for the second straight year with the victory. Tennessee (5-5, 2-4) was without three of their celebrated freshmen — wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson, safety Janzen Jackson and defensive back Mike Edwards. The trio was arrested early Thursday morning for attempted armed robbery in Knoxville. McCluster scored his first touchdown just 1:31 into the game and added another with 1:20 left in the opening quarter. His 32-yard scamper came in the third quarter and Ole Miss opened the fourth quarter with McCluster’s 71-yarder. “It was a big challenge to cover him,� said Tennessee defensive end Chris Walker. “We had to know where he was at all times and he lines up at wide receiver and he lines up at tailback, so it was really hard to adjust to that.� Brandon Bolden added 46 rushing yards and two touchdowns for the

Tennessee defensive line coach Ed Orgeron, who was former head coach at Mississippi, cheers on the Volunteers during an NCAA college football game against Mississippi on Saturday in Oxford, Miss.

“(McCluster) set a school record for rushing yards, and we probably set a record for missed tackles.� Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin

Rebels, who finished with 492 yards of total offense, including 359 on the ground. It was former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron’s first return to Oxford since he was fired in November 2007 after three seasons. In his first year at Tennessee as defensive line coach the Vols have improved, but struggled against the Rebels. Jevan Snead, who was 13 of 20 passes for 133 yards, was sacked only once.

Jonathan Compton finished 20 of 37 for 176 yards and two Tennessee touchdowns. He hit Jeff Cottam with a 16-yard TD in the first quarter and Denarius Moore with a 25-yarder in the second quarter. But the Vols’ offense never got untracked, gaining just 275 yards over all, 99 on the ground. Their only other score was a 27-yard field goal by Daniel Lincoln in the third quarter.

more with Johnson and Young even against defenses piling eight and nine players near the line of scrimmage. Buffalo is giving up an NFL-worst 173.6 yards rushing per game. “What makes C.J.’s effort thus far so impressive is people are committed to stop him, and yet he’s still able to do it,� Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. Bills defensive tackle Marcus Stroud hopes the Titans take the Bills for granted. “It is the second half of the season and we are looking at it like we have a chance to go out and do some different things. This would definitely be a chance to go out and make a statement if we are able to go out there and play well and stop the run,� he said. The Bills could be without four starters Sunday on defense, with safety Bryan Scott likely moving to linebacker to cover for Keith Ellison. It could be worse depending on how limited end Aaron Schobel is after hurting his groin against Houston. That defense has kept Buffalo close by forcing turnovers. The Bills are

tied for second in the NFL with 15 interceptions and have 13 takeaways in the past three games. Rookie safety Jairus Byrd is trying for a fourth straight game with two interceptions. Fisher has been cautioning his team against overlooking this defense based on rankings. He notes the Bills have faced about 60 more running plays than other NFL teams this season, tilting those numbers. Center Kevin Mawae agrees. “On paper, we looked really good at the beginning of the season, too,� Mawae said. “We’re just going to go out there and do what we do. I know what they’re ranked. We’ve just got to focus on ourselves. We can’t focus on what their rankings are. This is the NFL, and anything can happen on any Sunday.� ——— AP Sports Writer John Wawrow in Orchard Park, N.Y., contributed to this report.

Jason Davis/The Mountain Press

Sevier County’s Michael Farragut celebrates a game-winning rally (above) and delivers a perfect sac bunt (left) last season. Farragut signed with King College on Friday.

Todd Loveday agreed. “He’s a top-notch kid. He’s the face of the program. He’s what Coach T looks for — hard work and gritty. He represents this school well,” Loveday said of the fouryear starter. In Farragut’s time on the Bears’ team, his skill set has grown on the field, and for the last two years he’s been the team’s sparkplug as they’ve had the best back-to-back seasons in school history. “He’s been one of the real building blocks of this program,” Traywick said. “All-District the last two years, and the district we were in in Knoxville, that’s nothing to sneeze at. He hit over .400 the last two years

“He’s the face of the program. He’s what Coach T looks for — hard work and gritty. He represents this school well.”

SCHS Athletic Director Todd Loveday

in that district, and he’s been an excellent defensive second baseman field the ball at over .990 fielding percentage. “He’s the embodiment of a Sevier County High School baseball player,” the coach continued. “He’s everything that we preach and we teach — Michael Farragut is that. He does whatever it takes to win a baseball game. He’s very unselfish, he never questions anything, he’s ‘yes sir, no sir.’ I don’t worry about him. He’s going to be a

success in life no matter what he does.” Farragut still has the 2010 season with Sevier County ahead, and he thinks the team will adjust well to their move to District 2-AAA and the IMAC Conference. “I want to have a great season with the boys, moving districts, not knowing what to expect,” Farragut said. “But I think we’re going to handle it well. I’m excited about it.” mpsports@themountainpress.com

SEC FOOTBALL

Cobb runs for 2 touchdowns, Kentucky beats Vandy 24-13 By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Randall Cobb ran for two touchdowns, Derrick Locke rushed for a career-high 144 yards and a touchdown, and Kentucky beat Vanderbilt 24-13 Saturday to become bowl eligible for a school record fourth straight year. Kentucky (6-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) has won seven of the past nine in this series and can improve its bowl berth in the final two games of the regular season. Vanderbilt (2-9, 0-7) had its best scoring game this season against an SEC opponent. But the Commodores blew a 13-10 halftime lead and lost their seventh straight after being shut out in the second half. They managed a mere 31 yards offense in the second half. The Wildcats struggled to pass even with Mike Hartline playing his first game since injuring his left knee Oct. 10 against South Carolina. Morgan Newton

started, and both had passes intercepted. But Locke and Cobb helped Kentucky win its second straight and for the fourth time in five games. This game featured the SEC’s two worst defenses against the run, and Kentucky did a better job rushing with Cobb and Locke than Vanderbilt managed as a team. Cobb finished with 99 yards on 14 carries, while Locke ran 25 times as Kentucky outgained Vandy 399-209 in total offense — 308 of that coming on the ground. Cobb put Kentucky up 7-0 after taking the snap in the Wildcats’ wildcobb formation. He ran right before tiptoeing along the right sideline for a 21-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Officials reviewed the play to make sure he stayed inbound, and he did. He put Kentucky ahead to stay 17-13 by capping the opening drive of the third quarter by running in 3 yards for his second TD. Then Locke capped a

72-yard drive with a 14-yard TD in the fourth quarter to seal the victory, finishing with his third 100-yard rushing game this season. Vanderbilt hadn’t scored more than 10 in any SEC game this season but led 13-10 at halftime thanks largely to a defense ranked 10th nationally against the pass. The Commodores turned two interceptions into 10 points in the second quarter but lost linebacker Patrick Benoist, their leading tackler, to a suspected concussion in the first half.

Memphis woman creates new bed bug monitor Ellen Brown/The Mountain Press

Jack Reinhold, left, and Doug Highley are members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Grand Aerie 4096, located in Knoxville. The group is hoping to start another aerie in Sevier County and is hosting a membership drive, bake sale and yard sale from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the Great Smokies Flea Market in Kodak.

Fraternal Order of Eagles hopes to recruit local members By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Grand Aerie 4096 are hoping to recruit new members while holding a bake sale and yard sale at the Great Smokies Flea Market this weekend. “Our motto is ‘People helping people,’� said chaplain George Core. “We’re probably one of the best-kept secrets in the United States, but there are so many different facets to the Eagles.� The humanitarian organization has more than 1 million members throughout the U.S. and Canada. For more than 100 years, it has raised millions of dollars to help those in need and to find cures for the diseases that trouble mankind. Its charities include the Max Baer Heart Fund, which has raised millions of dollars for research and education in hopes of eliminating heart disease; the Robert Hansen Diabetes Fund, which has given more than $2 million in grants to research and education in the fight against diabetes; the Jimmy Durante Children’s Fund, established to treat and care for mentally or physicallychallenged children under the age of 18, later expanding to help prevent child abuse; the Art Ehrmann Cancer Fund, which has raised more than $50 million for various institutions for research and projects to help find a cure for cancer; the Eagles’ Memorial Foundation, which gives aid to the children of all Eagle members who lose their in the commission of their

daily employment, including military combat; the Parkinson’s Disease Fund, which provides grants for research each year to institutions and hospitals; the Golden Eagle Alzheimer’s Fund, which supports Alzheimer’s research centers; the Lew Reed Spinal Cord Injury Fund, which benefits those crippled by spinal cord injuries; and the HOME (“Hands of Many Eagles�) Fund, which supports various causes not already provided by other Eagle charity funds. The Eagles also support local firefighters and law enforcement, as well as military, with various programs. There are even the Eagle Riders, a group of Eagles who promote the organization’s causes while sharing their passion for motorcycle riding. Organizing Deputy Jack Reinhold has been an Eagle for 35 years, having held such offices as secretary and Southeast Regional president. Core has been another dedicated member for more than 20 years. Both are members of Grand Aerie 4096, which is based in Knoxville. “I got interested in this when I moved here,� Core said. “I enjoy it. I like the people, I like their goals. We’re hoping Sevier County will start its own aerie.� Members of the Eagles’ Ladies Auxiliary were expected to arrive shortly on Saturday with more baked goods and homemade preserves for the group to sell. There were also holiday crafts and other gifts and items for sale to raise money

for the organization. The group will continue to host its bake sale, yard sale and membership drive from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the Great Smokies Flea Market. n ebrown@themountainpress.com

MEMPHIS (AP) — A Memphis entomologist has created a bed bug monitor. The ClimbUp Insect Interceptor looks like a white, plastic underside of a dog bowl with two wells to determine whether bed bugs are present in a household. The center well, coated with talc to keep the bugs trapped inside, tells if the stink bug’s cousin is climbing down from the bed. The outer pitfall, coated with slick paper, determines if it is approaching the bed from the room. It’s the creation of Susan McKnight, who told The Commercial Appeal it’s a needed public service. “Once bed bugs are established in a building, it’s a very tedious and laborious process to treat for them,� said McKnight, 59. “This is an affordable

means to monitor bed bugs. With these (interceptors) you can catch them early. Or post-treatment you can tell if you missed a spot.� Founded a year ago, Susan McKnight Inc. sold 36,000 units in September to half a dozen distributors and through individual orders online, up from 8,000 in August. Though the plastic is molded in Connecticut, McKnight moved the assembly, packaging and

shipping side of the business to a two-room office in Memphis this summer. “I’m getting older and going to retire soon, so I went to my CPA and asked where was the best place to start a business,� McKnight said. Among Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee, McKnight chose the Mid-South to set up shop because of climate, proximity to family, business-friendly environment and shipping giant FedEx.

They get to flex their fingers and wrists. “Think of how many times we move our wrists,� Hyder said. She encouraged students to flex their wrists up and down and then hold their hand palms up — like they were carrying plates of food — and move their hands apart. “You can feel it,� Scott said. The exercises move on to the hips, with Hyder urging any who’ve had hip replacement to go easy. “No pain no gain� is one philosophy that doesn’t work with these exercises. The exercises continue through stretching and balance routines before a 4-minute endurance segment and finally a cooldown period. “If your heart’s racing, walk around a little, but you don’t want to quit cold turkey,� Hyder said. “Give yourself a great hug,� she said, getting

Hyder said the relaxation exercise is a good tool to use when feeling stressed. “If you’re stressed out your muscles tighten and cause more pain,� she said. There was no pain when the 60-minute class ended. “I feel relaxed,� Scott said. “I just wish it was longer.� n gcrutchfield@themountainpress.com

Public pulpit

Colorful experiences help us appreciate people of integrity By ALDEN MARSHALL I was asleep upstairs in my room at 1905 Lake Ave., when the door burst open. A guy who lived on the other side of the duplex stood there with a pistol in his hand and shouted, �Is Diane here?� I was glad to be able to answer, “No, she is not.� One of his housemates had heard a cat meow while he was trying to study, grabbed his revolver, ran outside, and shot it dead. And back on our side of the duplex, one housemate was caught forging my name several times. Perhaps it was to fool the university into thinking he was still taking classes as a student, or for all I know, to try to withdraw my few funds from my bank account. At first only good and trustworthy friends shared the house, but then less responsible folks crept in. At one point a housemate left during the summer, planning to return in the fall. To reserve a room he agreed to pay rent throughout the summer. He did not, so I took his records, etc., to a pawn shop and sold them so I could pay the rent. He came back the very last day it was possible to redeem them. Finally, only one guy

and I were left. It was like pulling teeth to get him to pay any of his expenses. But I was cheered up when his dead grandmother left him some money, for I hoped he would then pay his share of the rent and utilities. Instead, he informed me that he planned to buy a motorcycle instead of paying his bills, for I would get a good job later. I can only guess at what his lawyer-father taught him, but I do know that my father, who was much poorer, taught me. When I related to him that I was considering joining the Presbyterian Church, he answered, �Pray about it and do what God wants you to do.� Certainly part of what God wants us all to do is to treat others as we want to be treated. It is safe to say that no one wants to be awakened by a jealous, crazy guy waving a gun, or to have a pet shot dead, or to have our name forged, or to have a thief mooch off us, especially when the thief has more money! But colorful experiences like these hopefully help us to recognize and appreciate people of integrity more by contrast. No matter how beautiful or charming a person is, if she/he is jealous, lying or irresponsible, our relationship will

be a foretaste of hell! On the other hand, it means a lot to be with someone we trust will do what is right. No one does that at all times, neither I nor you. But when God is with us, we have a measure of supernatural peace when we do his will, and a measure of supernatural dread when we do not. But if there is no God who communicates his will to us, then it is just my opinion when I disagree with someone. Then neither you nor I have a right to condemn a housemate who chews tobacco and then drinks from my milk carton left in the refrigerator. Why does he not have that right, especially if he is a Nazi when Hitler was in power in Germany, or a communist when Stalin was in power in Russia, or a henchman of Pol Pot when he ruled Cambodia, etc.? It is because there is a God who clearly communicated his will to us, that we are to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us,� to forgive, to be kind, not to return evil for evil, but to trust God when he said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.� — Dr. Alden Marshall is a Presbyterian minister who lives in Gatlinburg.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden’s Lutheran church consecrated its first openly gay bishop, just two weeks after it gave clergy the right to wed same-sex couples. Eva Brunne became bishop of Stockholm’s diocese in a ceremony Sunday. She lives in a “registered partnership� with another woman, a civil union between gays used in Sweden before same-sex marriages were legalized this year. The couple also has a child. “It is very positive that our church is setting an example here and is choosing me as bishop based on my qualifications, when they also know that they can meet resistance elsewhere,� the 55-year-old Brunne said.

Memorial to 9/11 halted by wording

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A memorial to honor a Sept. 11 victim from a small northwestern Connecticut town has been halted by the unexpected conflict arising from his father’s insistence that it say his son was murdered by “Muslim terrorists.�

Town officials in Kent are balking, saying it would be inappropriate to single out a religious group in a project on town property and paid for with taxpayers’ money.

Magistrate: No opening prayer

A Time to Reflect! One of the greatest joys in the ministry is to see someone become a Christian. Even when the one baptized doesn’t understand all that is involved, they often sense something meaningful is going on. Then as time goes on, changes begin to occur in that person’s life. They begin to be grateful and appreciative for the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. But all too often the worth of becoming a Christian appears to have vanished with some. These Christians fail to appreciate the value of being a part of God’s family. Failing to see the worth of being a Christian, some people fail to mature as they should. We should reflect and remember... What happened the day I accepted Christ as my Savior? What was it I received? What changed in my life? What has happened since then? When we were reborn, we gained a New Life. Romans 6:4-5 (NIV). We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. [5] If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. The old life is gone and new life has come: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! This New Life we live is possible because of the Truth. I’m not speaking of accuracy of facts here but Jesus who said He is “Truth.� (John 14:6 - NIV) New Life is possible by accepting the Word of God; Jesus is the “Word.� (John 1:1) James 1:18a “He chose to give us birth through the word of truth.� As Christians we are the evidence of God’s new creation that is to come for those who are lost. As Christians we have a new life now that we can enjoy, knowing this new life is a foretaste of future glory. So what has changed in our life? We have a new love and a new assurance about our future. 1 Peter 1:22-23 (NIV) Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. [23] For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. We have gone from death and darkness to salvation and light. Titus 3:5-7 (NIV) He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, [6] whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7] so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. So is there anything different in our life? Yes there is, we have an inner transformation. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. This renewal is a new start for our minds, the way we think. Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will.

Smoky Mountain Reflections

Magistrate Trevor Sharp issued the recommendation in the case of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ meetings. The magistrate’s recommendation carries no legal weight, other than offering guidance to the federal judge who will make a final ruling. Sharp noted that the invocations frequently referred to Jesus or Jesus Christ, and said such prayers “display a preference for Christianity over other religions by the government.�

So, becoming a Christian does have great value. As Christians, let us appreciate the value of being a part of God’s family. As Christians we should not let the world stand in the way of our maturing in Christ. Reflect and enjoy the change that has been made in you!

They get to flex their fingers and wrists. “Think of how many times we move our wrists,� Hyder said. She encouraged students to flex their wrists up and down and then hold their hand palms up — like they were carrying plates of food — and move their hands apart. “You can feel it,� Scott said. The exercises move on to the hips, with Hyder urging any who’ve had hip replacement to go easy. “No pain no gain� is one philosophy that doesn’t work with these exercises. The exercises continue through stretching and balance routines before a 4-minute endurance segment and finally a cooldown period. “If your heart’s racing, walk around a little, but you don’t want to quit cold turkey,� Hyder said. “Give yourself a great hug,� she said, getting

Now’s the time to plant trees The late fall and winter are the optimal times for tree planting. Trees should be planted when they are dormant, usually after leaf fall and before bud burst (typically from December through mid-March). Planting a tree can provide lasting benefits. Planting a small tree takes only a couple of hours, but the results should last a lifetime. Here are some tips to those who take on the endeavor: n Once you have decided where you want to locate the tree, dig a hole deep enough so the top of the root ball lies at the surface of the soil. Make the hole wide enough so there is room to shovel dirt around the ball. n If the root ball is wrapped in burlap, place the ball in the hole and loosen the burlap without removing it. Natural burlap will decay and rot, but a synthetic wrap will not. n If the root ball is wrapped in a synthetic material, then remove that wrap

once the tree is placed in the planting hole. n Next, refill the hole with the soil that you took out, making sure not to include any sod. Tamp the soil as you are refilling the hole to remove any air pockets. n Place several inches of mulch around the tree to keep the soil moist. Do not stake the tree unless it is absolutely necessary to keep the tree upright. The most common mistakes in planting trees are planting too deep and overor under-watering. Also says the need for water following planting cannot be overemphasized. Irrigate slowly so that water infiltrates and soaks the ground. Trees should be watered twice a week in absence of precipitation.

Watering may be necessary for several years, especially during droughty periods. For further information about planting trees and selecting the right tree for your landscape, try reading three publications offered by UT Extension: “Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place,� SP 511; “Transplanting Trees,� SP 572; and “Guidelines for Buying Trees,� SP 662. These and other publications are available online at the UT Extension Web site: utextension.tennessee.edu/ publications/ — Alan Bruhin is the Sevier County agricultural extension service director.

Pancakes: The miracle cure for camping disruptions

“Bonanza� episodes later and I was about to go ring their chimes. Suddenly, the campground grew quiet. Their TV was turned off and I could hear crickets. I looked at my watch and realized it was only 10 p.m. and everyone in the campground was honoring quiet time. Feelings of rage were replaced with feelings of stupidity (much healthier for you). I ing around the 11-mile Cades Cove Loop) helped me learn to deal with tailgaters, gawkers and special traffic tie-ups known as bear jams. I enjoy giving other drivers plenty of space and have never even honked my horn (excluding that one episode when Kat was running late). I admit that I do feel the fever of rage illness when a driver passes me in heavy traffic just so he can arrive 30 feet ahead of my car. Those passersby usually have Cocke County plates, a locale known for its race tracks and distilling operations ... so I do understand. Campground rage is a horse of a different color. My record shows that I am not against comfortable camping, and my friends even joke about my “inflatable� campsite. I have an inflatable fullsize couch, an inflatable mattress and inflatable pillows. I am not man vs. wild. I am man sitting on an inflatable couch roasting wieners. Last summer I went camping alone to find some quiet time. I found

a secluded spot, inflated my camp and enjoyed supper. I crawled inside the tent to read for a while when suddenly the ground starting shaking and the sound of a freight train roared through my screen. My first thought was tornado or earthquake, but when I peeked out I saw a 10-bedroom Winnebago. It was so close I could almost touch it with my wiener roasting stick. I had a new neighbor, and his glove compartment was bigger than my tent. After the new residents installed their automatic patio, new rooms magically extended from every direction of the giant contraption. The residents proceeded to make all kinds of strange noises, but settled down to watch episodes of “Bonanza� in surround sound. I could hear Little Joe’s dialogue as if he were sitting in the tent with me, Pa and Hoss. I questioned my decision to camp and was stewing into a raging state of displeasure. Two

Well, this past week I was looking down into the holler toward Webb’s Creek thinking about how I might need to seek counseling for campground rage. It is a new affliction that doesn’t yet have its own reality TV show or even its own special colored pills. I guess you should just ask your doctor about it. The disease is high risk for primitive tent campers who set up next to a vacant site ... that later becomes home for a 90-foot Winnebago. Campground rage is milder than its first cousin, road rage, but both are serious illnesses that require attention and perhaps pancakes. Road rage disease originated in Massachusetts following the screaming episode of Paul Revere and quickly spread and throughout the U.S. The mountain air and slower Tennessee pace of life tempered the number of cases down here, but I observed road rage firsthand while on a rental car shuttle bus at the Boston airport. Our shuttle bus driver was cut off by a cab, so he immediately reached under his seat, grabbed a tire wrench and put the pedal to the metal in pursuit of the cab. He was yelling and cursing all the while and could be accurately described as a raging nutcake lunatic. Thankfully, the cab escaped into a sea of other yellow cabs and our driver returned the tire wrench to its hidden home under his seat. He politely clicked on the speaker system and apologized to the open mouths of my fellow car renters. We unanimously accepted his apology with nods of fake appreciation while carefully avoiding eye contact. My personal therapy for road rage (driv-
