True Thanksgivings
INSIDE
By GAIL CRUTCHFIELD Community Editor
5Making its final push
SEVIERVILLE — The holidays are a time for family and sometimes it takes no more than that to make someone realize just how much they have to be thankful for. Shari Chambers, office manager at Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic, knows that’s true. This year she didn’t win the lottery, survive a life-threatening experience or find a copy of the Constitution hidden behind a yard sale painting of a clown. She will, however, have both her sons and her husband home for Thanksgiving and, for her, that’s what truly matters. “I’m so thankful for my family. The past few years we haven’t usually been able to all be together at the holidays, so this means a lot,” Chambers says. “It’s going to be a wonderful year.” Not only are both of Chambers’ sons home for the holidays, they’re both safe and sound, living in East Tennessee for the first time in a while. Youngest son Logan has given Chambers and her husband Ted their
Sevier County Relay For Life has been given the chance to have a fantastic Christmas season by the folks at Tanger Five Oaks. Starting Monday, the charity will set up shop in the old Samsonite store location and wrap gifts for shoppers. Wrapping for a Cure will continue through Dec. 31, with operating hours of 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. “This is going to be a tremendous opportunity, but we’re going to need a lot of people to help,” said team recruitment co-chair Wayne Knight. Along with volunteers to man the store and wrap gifts, donations of supplies are also needed. “We need donations of gift wrap, tape, extra scissors, you name it.” he said. “I potentially see this as a huge thing,” said Knight’s fellow co-chair Teri Newman. “I can’t tell you how awesome this is.” The space can also be used to sell the Fight Like A Girl T-shirts and hoodies and for teams to use for their own fundraising efforts. Relay For Life also accepted a $7,500 donation from the Mountain Valley Winery. Don Collier presented the check representing money raised during their Stomp Out Cancer fundraiser, allowing visitors to stomp grapes to be used for the “Pink” wine to be produced next year and selling bottles of the wine produced from last year’s harvest. Collier predicted they would give $15,000 next year. Also announced at the meeting: n $1,000 scholarships are available for high school seniors who were diagnosed with cancer as a child. Information is available at www.cancer.org/midsouthnews. n Four Sevier County teams were recognized as top fundraisers in the state: Smoky Mountain Cancer Support Group, BankEast, Friends of Relay and Tennessee State Bank. n Anthony Berry from The Inn at Christmas Place will serve as co-chair. n Sevierville Middle School will host a Mini Relay For Life on May 1, 2010. It will follow the same format of the big Relay For Life event set for May 21-22. Upcoming fundraisers include: n Bake sale at Kroger’s on Wears Valley, starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday. n Santa’s Workshop at Sevierville Community Center, 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 15; admission $10 first child, then $5 for each after. n Lee’s Pharmacy on the Parkway is giving away a UT men’s basketball package that includes tickets to the Georgia and Vanderbilt games, plus two parking passes, and two $50 gift certificates to Ruby Tuesday. They are also selling children’s and adult Christmas stockings. n Putting on the Ritz for Relay, a semi-formal dinner, will be held from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Jan. 30 at Sevierville Civic Center. Tickets are $50 each and includes a photograph from Knight Photography. Table sponsorships are available.

Richard Sorenson, an employee with the Seiverivlle Water Department, is happy to be back at work two years after doctors told him he had terminal cancer.
Cancer-survivor Sorenson ‘one in a million’ By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer SEVIERVILLE — Richard Sorenson is thankful for every day. A few years ago, his doctor was telling him to get his affairs in order. He’d gone to see the doctor after having problems with his balance. At first, it appeared he might have suffered a mild stroke. The doctor sent him for an MRI. He thought he was done after that; when the nurses came back he knew they’d found something more. “They wouldn’t let me leave,” he said. “I thought, ‘Well this isn’t good.’” Eventually he got the bad news from his physician. An MRI and ultrasound tests had con fired he
had cancer. It started in his lungs, and spread to his brain. The prognosis was for a year, tops. “He, in a tactful way, said I might want to get my affairs in order,” Sorenson related. That was in the fall of 2007. Today, the tumors in his brain are gone and the lung cancer is in remission. It was a gruelling ordeal, but Sorenson said he owed it to his positive outlook, his faith and the support of his friends and coworkers at the Sevierville Water Department. After hearing the prognosis, he said, “I told (the doctors) that, well, you know I appreciate anything you can do for me, but you’re not the final decider. The Lord has something to say about it and so
do I.” His manager, Steve Flynn, was one of the first people to hear about the prognosis. “He and I teared up a bit,” Sorenson said. The first weekend was the hardest time, he explained, as he had time to himself to think about what he’d been told. But that was when he also resolved to stay positive and to keep fighting. And to quit smoking, a habit he’d had for years that ended when the doctor gave him the diagnosis. So, he started round after round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. He lost his stamina and his hair as a result of the treatment. He couldn’t work, although he continued to have the support of his coworkers. See sorenson, Page A3

Wrapping for a Cure begins on Monday
By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer SEYMOUR — Sept. 11 is a date that will forever be etched into people’s minds, but for one Seymour family, this year it took on another catastrophic meaning. And this Thanksgiving, Bob and Brenda Hammond and their children — Anna, 29; Will, 26; and Clay, 20 — are all especially thankful they will be able to celebrate the holiday together. On Sept. 11 of this year, Clay and a friend were driving to Orlando from Key West, where they were both stationed in the U.S. Coast Guard. Clay was planning to stay at his friend’s home in Orlando before he traveled to Knoxville the next day for the University of Tennessee football game. At around 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 12, the Hammonds Submitted received a phone call telling them their son had Clay Hammond, left, of Seymour recently been in a wreck and was in critical condition at visited his mother, Brenda, at her Knoxville Orlando Regional Medical Center. office with his dad, Bob.

More expected to travel for holiday WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans traveling away from home for Thanksgiving will be up only slightly this year from 2008, according to a report from the AAA auto club. The group, which surveyed 1,350 households, said there will be about 33.2 million people traveling by car this year — a 2.1 percent increase from last year. But there will be a 6.7 percent decrease in the number of air travelers, totaling 2.3 million this year, continuing a decade-long decline of Thanksgiving air travel. In the report released Wednesday, AAA officials said the expected increase reflects improved consumer confidence from a year ago, when Thanksgiving travel dropped 25 percent following the country’s housing and economic problems. Americans may feel more financially secure and be more willing to

“My first thought was, ‘Oh my goodness — how do we get to Orlando?’” recalled Brenda. “You can’t get there fast (from here).” Bob and Brenda learned that Clay and friend Brandon, who had been driving, were involved in a four-car pileup. It had been raining very hard, and as Brandon went into the left lane to pass a car, they hydroplaned into oncoming traffic. The driver of the car that was hit died at the scene, and the other three passengers were hospitalized. Brandon’s spleen was severely injured but did not have to be removed, and there was an injury to his lung. Clay had a broken femur and a severe brain injury. “We were devastated, in a fog,” said Bob, a principal at Fort Sanders Educational Development Center in Knoxville. “We were told that his neurons were either crushed, bruised or sheared. We didn’t know what the outcome would be. For the first few weeks, I was looking for success stories.” Clay was in a coma for

“There’s a lot of good people here,” he said. “They really backed me up.” But he never lost his will to keep fighting. It helped, he said, that he didn’t suffer as many side effects as many cancer patients. After six months of near daily treatment, his doctor came back with news he called “one in a million.” The brain tumors were gone, and his lung cancer was in remission. \But he believes he owes his remarkable recovery to prayer, a postiive attitude and support as much as the doctors who treated him. And that’s what he wants other people with cancer to
travel, the report says. “The economy is still very clearly weighing heavily on the minds of Thanksgiving travelers this year, and that’s evidenced by the very small increase that we expect to see in total travel,” said Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for AAA’s national office in Heathrow, Fla. However, the slight increase suggests the economy has slightly stabilized, he said. Blanca Enriquez, 59, of El Paso, Texas, said she’s driving more than 800 miles to South Padre Island with her family for Thanksgiving. “We couldn’t fly because I’ve got too many grandkids, so it’s better to take a road trip,” Enriquez said. “We’ve been saving since the summer, otherwise it would not be possible.” The Air Transport Association has predicted that holiday passenger traffic will drop 4 percent from last year,
despite airlines’ heavy discounting in the past several months. With fewer flights, planes are likely to be full over Thanksgiving, the trade group said. Travelers began checking in for holiday flights Saturday at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. College student Lucy Crowley, 22, said she booked her flight to leave several days before the holiday. “I made travel plans around avoiding that rush,” she said. Crowley said two of her roommates from California will join her family in Boston, because tickets are cheaper there than going home. Tammy Jones, a spokeswoman with the Federal Aviation Administration, said the agency will work with the Defense Department to allow commercial air traffic to use air space normally reserved for the military — as it’s done the past few years — in the Southwest, East Coast and West Coast.
three weeks. During this time, he would show that he was still able to move all of his limbs. He would get agitated and open his eyes (although they were rolled back in his head). “We kept putting our faith in all of these little positive things,” Brenda said. “When he finally woke up, he said, ‘Mom, what do I owe you?’ I said, ‘You don’t owe me anything!’” Clay, who has lost 40 pounds since the accident, still has some short-term memory loss and doesn’t remember even being in Orlando. “I don’t remember anything about Sept. 11, and I don’t remember anything from Orlando,” he said. “Being at The Shepherd Center in Atlanta (where he is now) is what I remember.” During the first few weeks of Clay’s recovery, Bob and Brenda stayed at the Hubbard House, a home on Orlando Regional’s campus that offers families a safe haven when facing the extra burden of finding convenient and affordable temporary lodging in times of crisis. “We could walk back and forth to the hospital,” Brenda said. “It was nice that we
didn’t have to worry about little things.” “Friends of friends” would show up at “just the right time” to minister to them, Bob added. “The Lord just kept bringing different people to us,” Brenda said. “There was a male nurse who said he had also suffered a traumatic brain injury but pulled through fine. We only saw him once ... I wonder if he may have been an angel.” Brenda kept an online journal (at www.caringbridge. org/visit/clayhammond1) about Clay’s progress that she found very therapeutic. She also kept a special journal for Clay, filled with entries about friends who came to see him and his progress. On Oct. 20, Clay moved to The Shepherd Center in Atlanta. The not-for-profit hospital specializes in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury and brain injury. “I’ve been having speech therapy and physical therapy,” he said Thursday evening in a phone call. “I’ve been working on my movements ... when you’re in a hospital bed for as long as I was, your movements kind of
know. “Never give up fighting,” he said. “Don’t let the disease take you. “Stay positive, be postive
and don’t let it get you, and of course it doesn’t hurt to say a few prayers.” n jfarrell@themountainpress.com

just leave you. I was jogging in a little circle yesterday and jumping. My jump is not as high as it used to be. I’m also walking on a treadmill for 20 minutes every day.” Bob and Brenda are proud of their son’s “remarkable and quick recovery.” “It goes without saying that we’re thankful to have him still here with us,” Bob said. “We’ve been able to see Clay born three times: When he first came into this world, when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, and now, coming back from this. We didn’t lose him but we were faced with the reality that we could have.” Clay, who is hoping to return to the Coast Guard when he has fully recovered, is thankful for all the prayers he has received. “I don’t know why I was in this terrible accident, but I believe everything happens for a reason,” he said. “You keep your head up and you keep moving. Jesus and God have other plans for me.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

first grandson, while big brother Travis survived a year living in Baltimore, something Chambers at times wondered if he would do. “He had a hard time up there,” Chambers says, bluffing a bit on the full extent of the story. See, not long after he moved to the Maryland city to manage several restaurants there, Travis was mugged. “Five guys came up and demanded his keys, and he threw the keys in the woods,” Chambers explains. “I guess that made the guys mad because they knocked him down and started beating him. He was in a 4-wheeler accident when he was 18 and he literally broke every bone in his body. He told me when they were beating him he was trying to hide his face in the wheel well so they wouldn’t hit it.” Thankfully, a resident in the apartment complex Travis was visiting heard the commotion and called the police. He was saved but none of the men have been captured. That wasn’t the end of the ordeal, though. A few months later Travis was back in Sevier County visiting his family when he got a call from his landlord. “She told him he needed to come back up there because his apartment had been robbed. And this was in a gated community,” Chambers says. “They took his televisions and a blu-ray player and some other stuff.” By that time, Chambers was past he point of tolerating the crime wave that targeted her son. “I told him, ‘Son, get out of there,’” Chambers says. “I felt helpless. It’s the saddest feeling in the world because I thought I should be there taking care of him, but I couldn’t be.” It seems there may have been a higher power working to keep Travis safe, too. Just a short time after the robbery, he was given the chance to apply for a job managing new Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants to
be built in Chattanooga or in Turkey Creek in Knoxville. He was eventually given the post in Knoxville and started making his preparations to move back to East Tennessee. “The grace of God brought him back here,” Chambers says. Unfortunately, Travis still hadn’t seen the end of his run-ins with the baddies of Baltimore. On the night before he was to move out of the city, he went out for a farewell party with some friends. That gave a thief the chance to get one last parting shot in. “He came out and found his car was gone. Someone stole it,” Chambers says. Now, though, Travis is home and that’s reason for Chambers to be thankful. So, too, is having son Logan and his little boy, 18-month-old Bryson, just down the road. “Being a mom is my best job, but being a grandma is better,” Chambers jokes. “You get to spoil them and send them home. No, I really do feel like I can fix the little things I would have done differently if I had known about them when I was raising my boys. We love Bryson. When he comes over, his feet never hit the ground. As soon as he’s up on our porch, we’re picking him up.” Beyond just her family, Chambers says she’s also thankful for Mountain Hope, the low-cost medical clinic where she’s worked for the last two years. The center just celebrated 10 years of helping provide health care for Sevier County residents who don’t have health insurance. “I’m thankful to be part of such a wonderful clinic because we help our community,” Chambers says. “There’s not one person here, staff or volunteer, who doesn’t want to love and help people. It’s so great to be part of that and I’m thankful for it. I’m thankful for the people I’ve met and the people I work with. They’re the most wonderful people. We have a great group here. It’s like a family.” n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Karen Hall, coordinator of Operation Christmas Child for Sevier County, examines a box of gifts dropped off at River Plantation RV Park for the charity. The gifts will be shipped to children in poverty stricken nations around the world.
Operation Christmas Child makes final push for presents By JEFF FARRELL Staff Writer
Want to help?
SEVIERVILLE — It doesn’t take many gifts to fill a shoe box, but for children in some povertystricken parts of the world that could be as many presents as they’ve ever seen. That’s the idea behind Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse that collects boxes full of gifts and sends them to poor nations where children otherwise might not get any Christmas gifts at all. The local dropoff area for the charity is the conference center of River Plantation RV Park at 1004 Parkway. Karen Hall, the coordinator for the Sevier County operation, will be there from 1 until 5 p.m. today and 8 until 10 a.m. Monday. “A lot of children where these will go have never

gotten a present in their life,� Hall said. They’ve been collecting boxes this week, and they’ve gotten 1,900 boxes so far, she said. They anticipated a heavy turnout today after church services concluded, she noted. The deadline is Monday because that’s the final day before they can ship them to Knoxville, where the boxes from East Tennessee will be packaged and shipped out. They asked for participants to fill a shoe box with presents for a boy or girl aged 2 to 4, 5 to 9, or 10 to 14. The gifts can be toys, school
supplies or other items. “Anything you think a child would like,� Hall explained. Volunteers go through each box to ensure that the gifts match the ages on the label and are otherwise appropriate, and add materials from the Samaritan’s Purse ministry, she said. Sevier County residents have been strong supporters since the ministry started having locations here several years ago. “We want to thank the people of Sevier County for their generosity,� Hall said. n jfarrell@themountainpress
Guns-in-bars law struck down NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s new law allowing people with handgun permits to be armed in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol is unconstitutionally vague, a judge ruled on Friday. Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman said the law, enacted earlier this year over the veto of Gov. Phil Bredesen, is “fraught with ambiguity.� She ruled after an hour of arguments in a lawsuit brought by a group of plaintiffs, many of them restaurant owners. More than 257,000 people have handgun carry permits in Tennessee. Tennessee previously banned handguns in all locations where alcohol was served. The new law made an exception for establish-

ments that serve at least one meal on five days per week and that “the serving of such meals shall be the principal business conducted.� Tennessee has no legal definition to distinguish bars
from restaurants. Plaintiffs’ attorneys argued that it would be difficult for patrons to know what restaurants met the exceptions, which would put them at risk of breaking the law.

Mental health cases tax officials By LISA RATHKE Associated Press Writer BURLINGTON, Vt. — Police found him sitting on the floor of his old apartment near a bucket of urine, still dressed in his hospital gown. The apartment had been condemned for the squalor — food on the floor, flies — and his smoking in bed. But the mentally ill man, just released from the hospital, had managed to get back in. For the second time in four days, he was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Three firefighters, a battalion chief, the police chief, two police officers, a code enforcement person and a housing official responded, and finally, an ambulance crew — at a cost of thousands of dollars, Police Chief Michael Schirling said. Police and emergency responders around the nation have long struggled to deal with people who have mental illness, and some say
the situation is only getting worse. A poor economy and cuts to institutional programs threaten to overwhelm personnel trained to deal with crime and vehicle accidents, not mental crises. “The problem seems to be accelerating in scope and severity of late,� the police chief said. “More folks in need of mental health services, more significant issues occurring on the street as a result, and fewer available services for folks in acute crisis or those who are service-resistant.� On the same day they removed the mental patient from the condemned apartment, police searched the other end of Burlington for a homeless man who’d been yelling at kids in a residential neighborhood. Parents wouldn’t let their children out alone. Some called 911. The man has paranoid schizophrenia and other mental illnesses but has refused treatment, so police charged him with disorderly con-
duct. The chief called it a “workaround,� designed to get him into the mental health system by judicial order. “It’s a perversion of the system,� he said. And a clear sign that the mental health system has been gutted, he said. Around the country, as many as 1,300 departments have set up crisis intervention teams, modeled after a pioneering Memphis program created in 1988 after police shot a man with mental illness. The teams get specialized mental health training and work with the community on the responses. The Memphis Police Department now has 225 crisis intervention team members who volunteered for the training. After the move nationally to deinstitutionalize the mentally ill 50 years ago, resources were not adequately invested in community services, officials said.

Oak Ridge incinerator to shut down OAK RIDGE (AP) — The planned shutdown of a toxic waste incinerator at Oak Ridge is now set for the end of this month. It was reported that some liquid waste shipments contained more mercury than anticipated and had to be burned at a slower rate to stay within the incinerator’s emission requirements. The incinerator closing was scheduled for the end of last month, but officials say it will now be Nov. 30. The Department of Energy has discussed shut-
ting down its Oak Ridge incinerator for several years, but extended its lifetime a couple of times to treat additional waste from nuclear cleanup sites around the country. However, earlier this year it stopped accepting waste shipments and began burning up the remaining inventory, with a plan to shut it down permanently at the end of September. That was delayed until mid-November because of difficulties in treating the hazardous waste, leading to the current situation and

the new shut down date. The incinerator — at the site of the former K-25 uranium enrichment site — is uniquely qualified to burn a range of mixed wastes containing both radioactive materials and hazardous chemicals. More than 30 million pounds of hazardous waste has been burned at the Oak Ridge facilities over the past two decades. The initial 10-year permit for the facility expired in 1997 and DOE’s application for renewal has been under review since then.

Vaughan ends hiking journey with walk today Today, Tommy Vaughan of Wears Valley completes a year-long project — a journey, in the truest sense of the word. He and about two dozen of his family and friends will join him at Little Greenbrier school in Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a walk to the Walker Sisters house. Thus Vaughan will complete his goal of 75 hikes in 2009 in honor of the 75th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He didn’t set out to do it for weight loss or to get in shape, although he acknowledges that would have been a good idea. Instead, it was his way of memorializing a national park that has meant so much to him. Along the way he got his three children interested in doing a few hikes with the old man. He received spiritual fulfillment. He lost a few pounds. He jacked up his stamina. And today he completes his mission. “My parents used to bring me to the Smokies camping when I was a kid,” Vaughan said. “I knew something was special about it from that early age. I was fascinated by the place. And when I was able to move here, I spent way too much time in the park.” It took his wife, Carol Ann, to curtail his visits to the Smokies. After all, he worked six days a week running Foothills Milling Company, the Wears Valley restaurant that has since moved to Maryville. The seventh day should be spent with church and family, not in the park. So Vaughan went several years not seeing much of his beloved Smokies. Then last fall, as the 75th anniversary celebration approached, he and a friend who hikes a lot were talking about ways to honor the occasion. He was ambitious, wanting to hike 75 miles a week before his buddy talked him down. The idea of 75 hikes over the course of a year sounded doable and reasonable. On Jan. 1, 2009, he and Carol Ann made the first hike. The temperature was in the 50s, and the skies were clear. From that day forward, Vaughan was in the woods as often as he could be, keeping a journal of every outing. Often he convinced his reluctant children — 17-year-old Annie, 14-year-old Ben and 7-year-old Nate — to come along. They found it, well, boring. “That’s been a real struggle,” Vaughan said. “When they were younger I used to hike with them a lot. They shared my passion for the park and its cultural history. I tried to share things with them as I learned them. But the older they got, the more they saw it as a chore. I’d have to prep them. If I let them know ahead of time instead of the last minute, they were more willing to come along.” One time Vaughan was about to head out with some friends for a weekend hike when Ben asked if he could come along. That was nice. Vaughan didn’t follow any routine or head out for specific hiking trials. He traveled trails more than once. He was not after a spot in the 800-Mile Club, reserved for those who complete all of the trails in the park. His favorite hike was to Ramsay Cascades, and he did that one by himself the first of November. The colors were spectacular, the weather perfect and the waterfall great to look at. The worst hike: One in which he had to beg and cajole family and friends to come along. That took so much out of him that he was in a grouchy mood for the hike itself. “By the time I got there I had a miserable attitude,” he said, laughing about it now. “I harassed everyone into going and it made me miserable.” It was such a glorious experience that he often sang hymns as he walked. Hymns like “I Love You Lord” by Laurie Klein: I love You Lord and I lift my voice To worship You O my soul, rejoice! And he’d follow that with “Sweet Holy Spirit” which includes the verse, And for these blessings We lift our hearts in praise Without a doubt we know That we’ll have been revived When we shall leave this place Vaughan thinks of the Smokies as a place of divine intervention, a paradise that almost didn’t get preserved, a place of miracles. Today he completes his own little miracle. And not even the kids will be reluctant to come along. — Stan Voit is editor of The Mountain Press. His column appears each Sunday.

Editorial
Birds in the hand Improvements to Birds Creek Road welcome news for Sevier County It’s as if the Tennessee Department of Transportation has suddenly discovered there is a Sevier County. Never mind we generate the third highest tax revenues of any county in the state. Never mind we have three of the state’s top five tourist attractions. Never mind that nine million people visit the Smokies every year, and millions more come here and never get to the park. Sevier County has critical transportation needs, and now it appears as if TDOT is acknowledging it and helping us to remedy the situation. We finally have the widening of Highway 66 under way. There is serious talk at least of another interchange on I-40 to assist with traffic flow. And now we find out the state will make some $9 million in repairs to Birds Creek Road between Sevierville and Gatlinburg. Birds Creek has long been a favorite of locals trying to connect the two
cities without having to use the often congested Parkway. But the road can be treacherous, as it winds around mountains and over ridges. The sharp curves, combined with erosion, make this a difficult road to travel safely, even though it is heavily used. The plan is to work on nearly five miles of Birds Creek, starting at Glades Road and continuing toward Sevierville all the way to Pittman Center Road. There will be bridges replaced, culvert crossings rebuilt and a new surface added. Cutting out some of the curves will be the biggest expense, especially the curve that takes cars around an historic barn near Catons Chapel Elementary. That curve will be eliminated through rerouting. So will a section not far away where the bank is crumbling and threatening safe passage. There are more than 90 counties in Tennessee, and all of them
have roadway improvement needs. Sometimes it seems as if a disproportionate chunk of the money goes to our four population centers: Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. But Sevier County, while not filled with as many residents as those other areas, nonetheless swells by the thousands during tourist season. It’s time we got more than what some bureaucrats think is our fair share. The Birds Creek work is welcome news for residents, as is the widening of Highway 66, even if that project can be disruptive. Progress comes at a price sometimes, and a price not just measured in dollars. The improvements to Birds Creek will affect traffic flow, to be sure, and try patience. In the end, it, like Highway 66, will be better for it, and our memories won’t be quite so long as we reflect on how trying the construction was while it went on.
Political view
Public forum Don’t put all Lutheran churches into the same religious category
Editor: I have read with interest the letters about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ELCA allowing homosexual pastors to be in “same gender relationships.” I noticed the one pastor illustrated his position offering several Bible passages while the other one simply used the word “Bible.” I would be interested to read such Bible verses which permit Christians to believe that the homosexual lifestyle is acceptable to God, much less to be in the position of leadership within the church. Somehow or the other the old adage seems to have been lost to this generation: “God loves the sinner but hates the sin.” What person or family doesn’t have some sinner within their circle and still loves them? Alcoholics, fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, gossips, gluttons, etc.
I know within my own family and within the congregations I have served, there have been several people I had to admonished, but still loved and accepted. The only ones who didn’t accept criticisms were some alcoholics. They were (in the words of Jesus) unwilling to deny themselves and take up their cross. It is no sin to be a homosexual or an alcoholic or whatever. We all have some predisposition — if you do not believe that, ask an honest friend. And we are all asked to deny ourselves and take up our cross. One letter cites “decades of study.” This is what the national president of our Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) said about that: “This (decision) grieves my heart and the hearts of all in the ELCA and the LCMS and other Christian churches throughout the world who do not see these decisions as compatible with the Word of God or in agreement with the consensus of 2000 years of Christian theological affirmation
regarding what Scripture teaches about human sexuality.” Decades of study by scholars who do not believe the Bible to be the inspired inerrant Word of God, can make it say anything they want it to. Jesus said that we are to be the salt of the earth. We are to season our communities. It seems to me that in so many instances, the community has seasoned the Church. Along with my national president and, as he said, along with people and pastors within the ELCA, I grieve with them and for them. One reason I am writing is to inform people who are seeking a church relationship not to put all Lutheran churches into one mold. Lutherans are a minority in this location and not much is known about us. Just as there are several different denominations within the Baptist movement, so are there among Lutherans. Rev. L.H. Dettmer Sevierville

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL
Brown gets senior TD as Vols sink Vandy By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE — Jonathan Crompton threw for two touchdowns as Tennessee beat instate rival Vanderbilt 31-16 on Saturday night. After missing the postseason last year, the Volunteers (6-5, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) became bowl eligible with the victory. The Commodores (2-10, 0-8) finished without a conference win for the first time since 2002. Vanderbilt had a chance to tie the game before halftime but stalled on fourth-and-2 at the Tennessee 38 with 51 seconds left. Instead, Tennessee drove for a quick touchdown to go up 24-10. Vandy’s Steven Stone was called for a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty, and Crompton was perfect on four pass attempts. His 16-yard TD pass to Luke Stocker capped the 30-second drive. Crompton finished 20-for-34 for 221 yards with an interception. Montario Hardesty ran for a career-high 171 yards and a touchdown. The Vols struggled to move the ball in the second half, and Vanderbilt had a shot to pull within 4 points with about 6 minutes left. On third-and-goal at the 3, MacKenzi Adams attempted a pass for John Cole in the end zone. The ball bounced off Cole and into the hands of Tennessee’s Dennis Rogan, but a pass interference call on Rogan kept the Commodores’ drive alive. With a fresh set of downs,
Vanderbilt couldn’t move the ball, and Adams took a sack for a loss of 9 yards. Ryan Fowler kicked a 32-yard field goal to make the score 24-16 with 2:54 left, and the Commodores couldn’t pull any closer. Adams was 19 of 35 for 174 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Vandy’s Warren Norman had 73 yards rushing and 61 yards on kickoff returns. Norman’s 1,923 all-purpose yards broke Herschel Walker’s SEC freshman record of 1,805. He also became the Commodores’ single-season leader for all-purpose yards. Crompton’s third-quarter interception ended a streak of 142 straight pass attempts without one, one shy of Casey Clausen’s school record of 143. After struggling to find consistency on field goals with an injured Daniel Lincoln and punter Chad Cunningham, Tennessee introduced Devin Mathis as its new kicker. Mathis, who got the call this week to join the team, hit a 25-yard field goal and connected on three extra point attempts. Mathis was a walk-on last season and nearly earned a starting job as Lincoln struggled. He spent the spring semester studying in Mexico and did not participate in the Vols’ fall camp. Tennessee finished its senior day in style when senior defensive tackle Wes Brown, who’s played with injured knees for the past two seasons, intercepted Adams and ran 25 yards for a touchdown with 3 seconds left. His teammates piled on top of him in the end zone.

Young returns to hometown to face Texans By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer
Jason Davis/The Mountain Press
Seymour resident and former Eagle football player Kelby Atchley moves in on his wounded MMA opponent Eric Ferguson (above) and pounds him to the mat (below, left), where he’d finish the fight with the technical knockout. Atchley then received his trophy and posed for a photo with the ring card girls (below, right). Results from the Fit Factory event will be published later this week.
HOUSTON — In his last start at Reliant Stadium, Vince Young left the field blowing kisses to cheering fans after running for the winning score in overtime. It was a triumphant return to the city where he grew up against the team that passed on drafting him. “It was a fairy tale,” he said. “It was like a dream come true.” Since that win as a rookie in 2006, Young has gone through his share of ups and downs. On Monday night he’ll return to Houston with the Titans and a threegame winning streak to face a Texans team trying to stay in the playoff hunt. Young said he knew the reaction to his winning touchdown in the 26-20 victory was big, but he didn’t remember much else about the fans’ response. “Being a Houstonian, being a hometown kid, there’s a lot of Longhorn fans out there and it’s a lot of fans just period that’s pretty much been following my career ever since I was in high school all the way up to now,” he said Thursday while wearing a Houston Oilers cap. “So it’s just a lot of love. No disrespect to the Texans.” Young said that game ranks second in his career highlights to the 2006 Rose Bowl, when he
scored the winning touchdown to give Texas the national championship. The Texans have far less fond recollections of that game. “What I’ll always remember about that run was the way the crowd erupted like it was a home game for him or something,” said DeMeco Ryans, who was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2006 when Young won the offensive award. “That kind of always ticked me off that they were cheering like that for him. Our fans cheering for him really made me mad.” Ryans said he probably won’t be thinking about that play Monday night, but he will be focused on making sure Young doesn’t beat them with his feet. “As defensive players we have to do something about that,” Ryans said. “We’ve got to stop him and it wouldn’t be like that. We’re just going to go out and try to dominate and win the game.” Young’s teammate Ahmard Hall, who played with him at Texas, said Young is trying to contain his excitement about playing in his hometown for the first time since his rookie year. “Vince is the mayor of Houston, everybody loves him down there,” Hall said. “Everybody’s excited to see him play, and Vince thrives in big games and I think he’ll have a special night on Monday night.”

Is Weis era over? Irish lose to UConn on senior day By TOM COYNE AP Sports Writer SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a string of stinging losses, the Connecticut Huskies finally won one for their slain teammate. Coach Randy Edsall called the Huskies’ doubleovertime victory against Notre Dame the program’s “best win.� On the other side, Charlie Weis was left to try to explain another jarring loss on senior day and wonder if it will be his last game at Notre Dame stadium as Fighting Irish coach. Andre Dixon scored on a 4-yard touchdown run in the second overtime to give the Huskies a 33-30 victory, their first since cornerback Jasper Howard was stabbed to death last month. “Jazz this is for you,� Edsall said, referring to Howard by his nickname. “Best win we have ever had.� Edsall said beating the Irish (6-5) was big, but getting the first win after the death of Howard was much bigger. “You’ve got to understand what this team has gone through,� he said. “A couple of close games, and then you lose a teammate, you lose a brother, you lose a son, and you’re trying so hard to honor him by winning on the field. We hadn’t done that.� Edsall said the Huskies
will send the game ball to Howard’s mother, Joanglia, stepfather, Henry Williams, and the rest of his family in Miami. The Huskies (5-5) had lost three straight painfully close games since Howard was killed. “We ended up just making the tough plays at the end that we hadn’t been able to make in some of earlier games,� Edsall said. The loss was the third straight for Notre Dame (6-5) and will add to the mounting calls for Weis to be fired. Weis declined to talk about that after the game, saying it wasn’t the time. “Today’s not the day for me to reflect on things like that. I mean today’s the day for me to be worrying about those guys, those 33 guys,� he said, referring to seniors on the roster. “I really feel absolutely miserable for those 33 guys. ... I’ll worry about me tomorrow. But I think today I should be worrying about them.� Notre Dame was upset last season by Syracuse in the final home game of a 7-6 season. “It just hurt,� linebacker Brian Smith said. “A lot of seniors lost their last game at Notre Dame Stadium. It’s supposed to be a memorable day for them and now it’s not for the right reason.� Senior tackle Sam Young, who made his school record
PREP BASKETBALL
49th straight start, walked out to midfield dressed in a suit after the game and stood there by himself for a while. The Irish led 14-0 early in the second quarter but didn’t score another touchdown until the first overtime, a change from recent losses when they fell behind and rallies fell short. Edsall said the win wasn’t an upset. “We knew we could come out here and win if we just went and executed and did the things that our Godgiven ability would allow us to do,� he said. Jordan Todman ran for 130 yards on 26 carries, including a 43-yard TD run for UConn. He also added a 96-yard kickoff return for a TD. Dixon rushed for 114 yards on 20 carries. “Since everything happened to Jazz, we haven’t won one for him. This was our chance to get that one for Jazz,� Dixon said. This loss was Notre Dame’s fifth loss by a touchdown or less this season. Jimmy Clausen was 30 of 45 passing for 329 yards for Notre Dame. Golden Tate had nine catches for 123 yards and Michael Floyd had eight catches for 104 yards. Tate set school records for catches in a season (83) and season yardage (1,295) with a 39-yard catch in the first quarter that helped set up Notre Dame’s first score.
GATLINBURG — The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders manhandled visiting South Greene on Friday night, 60-34, in a game that was not as close as the final score. “We were in control from the start,� said G-P coach Raul Placeres. “We started out 14-6, and then we went on a 14-point run to make it 28-6. “I was very pleased with what I saw (Friday). South Greene is a team that pushed Sevier County into overtime on Tuesday, and we were able to handle them very
easily Friday night. “We were very good defensively.� G-P led 57-22 by the end of the third quarter and then played clock ball in the fourth, when South Greene managed to outscore the Highlanders 12-3. Mo Barber led the G-P effort with 15 points, 10 rebounds and two “monster slams,� said Placeres. McKinley Maples finished the night with 14 points and three steals, and Jose Agosto had 14 points and 10 boards. Marquise Wall added 12 points and two steals, and Jon McCroskey and Drew Barton added a deuce apiece in the win.

Ohio St. tops Wolverines in annual rivalry matchup 21-10 By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer
Paul Sancya/AP
Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor runs against Michigan in the fourth quarter of an NCAA football game in Ann Arbor on Saturday.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Terrelle Pryor is thankful he chose to play at Ohio State, instead of for Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines. Pryor threw a touchdown for the final score in the third quarter and avoided making many mistakes to help the ninth-ranked Buckeyes beat Michigan 21-10 Saturday for its sixth straight win in the series and an outright Big Ten title. “I’m glad I’m on this side,� Pryor said. Ohio State (10-2, 7-1) has won five straight conference championships and will play in the Rose Bowl with a fivegame winning streak. “When you’re undefeated in November, good things are going to happen over the holidays,� coach Jim Tressel said. Michigan wouldn’t know. The Wolverines lost their last five games and beat
only Delaware State after September to finish 5-7. College football’s winningest program has endured consecutive losing years for the first time since the 1962-63 seasons. Freshman Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his end zone, spoiling Michigan’s chances of an upset it needed to become bowl-eligible. “I lost that game,� Forcier wrote in a text message to The Associated Press about an hour after the game. “This offseason, I’m gonna make sure myself and every single person on this team works the hardest we have ever worked. “We’re gonna come back a a new team. I’m not going to let this happen again.� Michigan’s flop followed a school-record nine-loss year in Rodriguez’s debut in Ann Arbor. “I’m tired of being humbled,� Rodriguez said. He said earlier in the week the Wolverines would not be
“doomed� if they were shut out of the bowl picture. But he desperately needed the feel-good victory to take some heat off him — especially with an NCAA investigation looming over his program. Does Rodriguez fear losing his job? “No,� he said. Tressel, meanwhile, can probably coach the Buckeyes as long as he wants with the success he’s had overall and especially against their rival. He improved to 8-1 against Michigan and extended Ohio State’s longest winning streak that matches the best run in the rivalry since Michigan also won six in a row in the 1920s. Forcier fumbled on his first drive and Cameron Heyward recovered to give Ohio State a 7-0 lead. He threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter. Ohio State turned the ball over only once, on Pryor’s deflected pass, and outrushed Michigan 251-80.
Neyland Stadium upgrade work resumes Monday for Neyland Stadium to serve as a long-term solution to issues currently facing our stadium,� UT men’s athletics director Mike Hamilton. “These renovations are helping prepare Neyland Stadium for the next 75 years of service to the Volunteer nation.� Upon the 2010 completion of Phase III, 60 percent of the Neyland Stadium renovations will be finished. The completed Phase III renovations include:
KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee Athletics Department announced Saturday that the second portion of Neyland Stadium’s Phase III renovations begin Monday. The Phase III renovations were stretched across two years. The first portion was completed before this year’s Sept. 5 opener against Western Kentucky. The second portion is projected to be completed in time for the 2010 campaign. During this off-season, crews will create a new Gate 21 entry plaza, add two elevators to the northwest side of the stadium, add brick and wrought iron façade work along the north and west sides of the stadium, as well as construct the Tennessee Terrace. The Tennessee Terrace features 1,800 chair-back seats on the upper west sideline and offers a private, climatecontrolled concourse. Crews also are preparing a site for a new statue of Gen. Robert Neyland, which will be added along the west side of the stadium next November. “In November 2004, we unveiled the master plan
2009 • Renovation of west sideline top lower level concourse • Removal of scissor ramps leading to west upper deck • Addition of elevators and stairwells on west side to increase fan accessibility and improve traffic flow • Improvements to west tower, including skybox and press center updates • Construction of West Club 2010 • Creation of Gate 21 Plaza • Two new elevators on north end of west side • Brick and wrought iron
façade along north and west outside of Neyland Stadium • Statue of Gen. Neyland added to west side entrance • Construction of Tennessee Terrace The addition of the West Club and Tennessee Terrace are the primary funding sources for the estimated $69 million Phase III renovations. Sales for the Tennessee Terrace have been strong over the past few months, with fewer than 900 seats still available for the 2010 season. All season ticket holders impacted by these areas have been contacted about joining the Tennessee Terrace or moving to another area of the stadium based on their preference and availability. No one will be displaced out of Neyland Stadium or be required to increase their annual donation to maintain their current number of season tickets. The timing of Neyland Stadium Phases IV and V is contingent upon available funding and the university’s master plan facility schedule. Neyland

Master Plan Background The Neyland Stadium Master Plan was approved by the UT Board of Trustees in November 2004 and serves as the long-term solution to issues facing the historic stadium. The project’s goals are: • Maintaining collegiate integrity of stadium and recognizing heritage of Tennessee football • Taking fiscally responsible approach to renovations • Improving and modernizing concourse, bathroom and concession areas for all UT fans • Providing improved infrastructure for basic amenities – water, electric and sewer • Enhancing safety for fans while addressing ADA compliance issues The Master Plan was created in a phased approach, and each phase must be entirely funded by private leadership donations and annual revenue generated by VASF priority seats as well as East and
West Club and Tennessee Terrace seat contributions. No university funds or taxpayer subsidies are planned to be used in financing the projected total renovations cost of more than $200 million. Phase I was completed for the 2006 football season and included extensive infrastructure work, renovations in the north lower concourse and construction of the East Club. Phase II renovations were completed before the 2008 season and included the west lower concourse, the oldest part of the stadium that was constructed in 1921. The
improvements increased the number of restrooms and concessions stands in this area while enhancing and making the fan experience safer through wider pedestrian areas, improved lighting and new way finding signage. Other elements of Phase II included renovations to the Peyton Manning Locker Room, the addition of a field level Lauricella Lettermen’s Room and new Stokely Family Media Center, as well as brick work around the Shields-Watkins field level.

Ingram, Tide roll over Chattanooga By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — No. 2 Alabama was still celebrating Mark Ingram’s second long touchdown run when coach Nick Saban told his star tailback to take the rest of the day off. Ingram ran for 102 yards and TDs of 25 and 40 yards in the first 20 minutes, then happily yielded the stage while the Crimson Tide breezed to a 45-0 win over Chattanooga on Saturday. “Just get in, get a good day’s work, execute and have some success. Then let the other people get the playing time they deserve,� Ingram said. Yes, the Tide (11-0) did make it seem just that easy. Alabama raced to a 35-0 halftime lead and showed no signs of a letdown ahead of games with rival Auburn and No. 1 Florida. That enabled the starters to take a break in the second half against the Mocs (6-5), although Ingram and the Tide still managed a few highlight-reel plays. Javier Arenas set the SEC career record with his seventh punt return for a touchdown, sprinting 66 yards down the right sideline in the second quarter. He also had an interception. Julio Jones caught a 44-yard pass and scored on a 19-yarder from Greg McElroy. The stats were perhaps even more lopsided than the final score. The Tide had a 422-84 advantage in total yards, gained 313 on the ground and had five players with at least 60 yards rushing. They also had 26 first downs while holding
Chattanooga to five. It only seemed like a pressure-free game. Saban warned his team of the repercussions of a huge upset, even beyond their national title hopes. “I told the players if we had lost this game today, there would be nothing else that would tarnish what you’ve accomplished more than that. You would someday be an NFL player in a Mercedes-Benz and roll your window down to talk to a pretty girl and she’d say, ’You lost to Chattanooga when you played at Alabama,�’ Saban said. “Nobody would ever forget that one.� Instead, it’ll be forgotten quickly with the Iron Bowl awaiting six days later. This was the sixth time the Tide’s defense had held an opponent to seven points or less this season, but the first shutout since last year’s 36-0 win over Auburn. “We played a good football team and I don’t know if there was much we could have done to be better than this,� said first-year Mocs coach Russ Huesman, who led a turnaround after a 1-11 season. Ingram managed his sixth 100-yard effort of the last seven games despite carrying only 11 times. The Heisman Trophy candidate broke three tackles and had two defenders draped across his back at the end of the 25-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Then, Ingram zigzagged 40 yards for another score 5 minutes into the second quarter on his final carry. Then he headed to the sidelines and Saban told him he “was pretty much done.�

NATION/WORLD BRIEFS
Health care bill clears first Senate hurdle
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweeping health care legislation has cleared its first hurdle in the Senate on a party-line vote. The 60-39 vote clears the way for a historic debate after Thanksgiving on the legislation. The measure is designed to extend coverage to an estimated 31 million Americans who lack it and crack down on insurance industry practices that deny benefits. The vote came in a rare Saturday session in the Senate. Democrats posted 60 votes in a Senate showdown, precisely the number needed to overcome Republican delaying tactics. The vote was a major victory for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the White House in a year-end drive to enact the most sweeping changes to the nation’s health care system in a half-century or more.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities arrested a Sacramento fisherman Saturday in connection to shooting a sea lion in the head. California game wardens said they arrested Larry Allen Legans, 43, on misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty, negligent discharge of a firearm, and take of a marine mammal. Legans told authorities he grew tired of competing with the protected animals so he fired his 12-gauge shotgun at the sea lion, injuring the creature. “He said he was tired of watching sea lions take his fish,” said Warden Patrick Foy. About a half-dozen sea lions have started to spend time farther up the Sacramento River, competing with anglers for fish as far inland as Rio Vista, just southwest of Sacramento.

Ex-nurse acquitted of killing patients
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A court martial acquitted a former military nurse of murder Saturday after he was accused of giving lethal doses of painkillers to hasten the deaths of three terminally ill patients at the Air Force’s largest hospital. Capt. Michael Fontana, 36, wearing his Air Force uniform, showed no emotion as a military judge cleared him of three counts of murder, then collapsed into the arms of weeping family members inside a Lackland Air Force Base courtroom. Military prosecutors had painted Fontana as a rogue and arrogant nurse who pumped patients full of fentanyl and morphine when they were not “dying quick enough.” After the ruling, Fontana said he never second-guessed his treatment or dosages.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A spacewalking astronaut put aside the impending birth of his daughter and blazed through his first-ever venture outside the International Space Station on Saturday. Expectant father Randolph Bresnik and Michael Foreman were so far ahead despite their late start and interrupted sleep the night before — false fire and decompression alarms jolted them awake — that their commander handed them extra work.

PIGEON FORGE — Dollywood theme park claimed its fourth consecutive international Heartbeat Award, along with three additional trophies, at this year’s International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo’s Big E entertainment awards ceremony in Las Vegas. The latest awards bring Dollywood’s total to 15 in the past four years — more than any other theme park in the world. “Sha-Kon-O-Hey! Land of Blue Smoke” won the Heartbeat Award. The $1.3 million production premiered May 9, featuring eight songs written by Dolly Parton and telling the story of the last family leaving the area that would become Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “Sha-Kon-OHey! returns May 2010 for Dollywood’s 25th anniversary season. Dollywood’s previous Heartbeat Award winners are “Dreamland Drive-In” (2008 and 2006) and “The Great American Country Show” (2007). “The true honor in receiving the Heartbeat Award lies in its recognition of our ability to speak to our audience, said Director of Entertainment Paul T. Couch. “There is no higher compliment.” Dollywood also took home awards in three additional categories. Creature Adventures starring the Kratt Brothers, a show which premiered in 2008 and headlined the park’s annual KidsFest event for two consecutive years, won Best Live Edutainment Show. Park performer Gabriel Myers from “Dreamland Drive-In” won Best Male Performer. Dollywood’s Gem Tones, an a capella group that performs ’50s and ’60s music, won honorable mention as Best Atmosphere/Street Performer. IAAPA is the largest international trade association for permanently situated amusement facilities worldwide. The organization represents more than 4,500 facility, supplier, and individual members from more than 90 countries. the

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat depression alone My husband just returned from a trip to Nicaragua. He went way out in the villages of the Mesquite Indians. He and the team gave eye exams and then fitted the people with glasses. They served three different villages in the eight days that he was gone. The people were so thankful to the team. They offered food and trinkets to show their thankfulness. They smiled and clapped as each one was successfully fitted with glasses that allowed some to see clearly for perhaps the first time in their lives. They live daily in poverty that we can only imagine, yet they are thankful and for the most part happy people. This struck my husband the most. They laughed as they walked the muddy roads to and from the clinic. They rejoiced with each person as they were able to see. It was as though they did not realize their poverty and need. People sit across from me and are so burdened with the cares of their

Public pulpit
May we hear anew the call to follow the love of Jesus By ARNE WALKER We have a friend who has mastered the art of magic to a high degree. He has surprised and delighted us with not what you would expect by a bird appearing in an empty box which I held and a tiger appearing in a cage that once held a gorgeous girl. Like many who have the privilege of traveling, you come home to the question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was the highlight of your trip?â&#x20AC;? And to that question about our recent trip to Hong Kong I would reply: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not what you would expect.â&#x20AC;? You who have been there in person or by DVD, or through reading, please interact with us and propose what you think it would be. Was it this barren rock that experienced typhoon and epidemic and arose to be one of the three greatest financial centers in the world? No. Was it the reclaimed 100 square miles of land that added space for what we know as Hong Kong to continue to expand? No. Was it the underground network of rapid transit transportation that moves over 2.3 million people daily in this city-state of over 7.5 million people? No. Was it the 70 percent of green space that exists while only 30 percent contains all of its buildings? No. Was it the famous Peak which gives a magnificent overview of the city and the three kilometers walk-way through a seeming semi-tropical jungle? No Was it the doubledecker buses that cover great distances and delight the
senses with many varied views? No. Was it the marvelous Chinese food that you only find in Hong Kong if you know where to look? No, and we did know where to look. Was it Tian Tan Buddha, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha (113 feet tall) besides the Po Lin Monastery? No. Was it the views from the 55th floor of the International Finance Center? Was it the monkey scurrying to and fro on â&#x20AC;&#x153;monkey mountain?â&#x20AC;? No. Before I completely frustrate you with my â&#x20AC;&#x153;nos,â&#x20AC;? please let me share with you my â&#x20AC;&#x153;not what you would expect listâ&#x20AC;? which I am sure most of you did not guess. My list includes three experiences all of which are tied for first place. The first is Janey and Ted Zimmerman, our Evangelical Lutheran Church in America missionaries. As they near retirement, their energy and enthusiasm, and love for the Gospel and the people of Hong Kong and beyond is still going very strong. It was a rare privilege to walk with them as Pastor Zimmerman both teaches at the seminary and assists local congregations and his wife is an enthusiastic teacher in the International School. First also is the opportunity to worship and interact with an international faculty as well as an international student body of our Lutheran Theological Seminary which includes students from China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, American Samoa, Hong Kong and more. To share
in the vitality of their worship and witness was indeed exhilarating and I liken many of these first generation Christians to what it was like being in love for the first time. The final first is the apartment church where we witnessed the Acts verse â&#x20AC;&#x153;look how they love one another.â&#x20AC;? They are one of 52 apartment churches which total in membership 16,000 members. This is the Evangelical Lutheran Church-Hong Kong (ELCHK). With warmth and vitality they worshipped having committed much of their worship service to memory. Their love for the Lord and each other was hard to miss. You have special lens when you do not understand the language and must allow that which is nonverbal connect with you. Once again I liken their expressions of love to be like those of the first months and years of being a newlywed. So, as I suggested, our highlights were not what you would expect. And now, we have to ask ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do we communicate nonverbally of our relationship with the Lord and His Gospel? And what do we communicate verbally about the loving heart of the God who has come to us in Jesus Christ? May He strangely warm or rewarm our hearts. And may we hear anew the call to follow Jesus in the context in which we are placed. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Rev. Arne Walker is a semi-retired pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who resides in Gatlinburg.
Words of Life
The recipe for banana pudding calls for several ingredients. And an orderly process. You must have the ingredients: milk, eggs, flavoring, bananas, and vanilla wafers, etc. And you follow the recipe or you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have banana pudding. But someone says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need bananas.â&#x20AC;? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say that fellow was pretty dumb! The recipe called for bananas. Likewise, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read the recipe where it said separate the egg whites and beat them and lean back and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got banana puddingâ&#x20AC;?. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d proceed thru the entire recipe, step by step until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done everything it called for. If we stopped short, or if we decided to add watermelon, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d look ridiculous. So, we simply go by the recipe. And when we do, we have something very delicious. Very pleasant. Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make a spiritual parallel. The New Testament is our â&#x20AC;&#x153;recipeâ&#x20AC;? for being saved. If we can assume that you want to be saved, then you will have to follow the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe. This recipe requires certain ingredients and a certain process, otherwise, you will not be saved when the judgement day comes! The first ingredient in this is our belief in God. Heb 11:6 says he that cometh to God must believe that He is. You cannot come to God unless you believe that He exists! How are you going to know that? We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Him, feel Him, smell Him, taste Him nor hear Him with our physical senses. Well, how are we going to believe in Him? Rom 1 verse 20, the apostle Paul says we look at the things which are seen and they clearly demonstrate that there is a Creator not seen, but Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there. The watch on your wrist clearly proves someone made it. Likewise we look at the universe and know that there is a divine creator. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s God. Then of course we have Jesus and the Bible. Together, we have enough evidence to believe that God is. Ps 14:1 the fool says in his heart, there is no God. Then we must believe that Jesus is the son of God. In the 8th chapter of acts, verse 36, the Ethiopian asked Phillip the evangelist what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Phillip said, if thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Well is that the entire recipe? No. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. Jesus in Lk 6:46 acknowledged that people believed in Him but goes on to say? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why call ye Me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lord, Lord,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and do no the things I say?â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total hypocrisy! Then He goes on to say one who hears My sayings and doeth them is wise, but he who hears and doeth them not, is a foolish man. James said in Ch 2 verse 24 that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not saved by faith only though most people believe that we are. What a tragedy that people only want to look at that one ingredient in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for salvation. Bu thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. We must believe in the word of God. Paul said Rom 10:17 faith comes from hearing the Word! Thy word is truth, Jesus said, and the truth shall make you free. Nothing else will make you free! But then again, the Bible teaches the necessity of repentance. Which is a change. A change of heart, a change of life. Jesus said except ye repent ye shall perish. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just take that ingredient of the recipe for being saved. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. Acts 2:38 Peter said to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. So baptism is one of the ingredients for being saved. Is it the most important? No No. But, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as important any other of the ingredients. Can we leave out any of them? No. It takes the whole recipe! Jesus said in Mark 16:16, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned.â&#x20AC;? And so, someone will jump and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;See there you can leave out baptism!â&#x20AC;? That is not true at all. The verse simply means you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave out belief. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you can leave out baptism! You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave any of the ingredients out. Friends, this is a partial list of things required of us if we want to go to Heaven. Our hope and our prayer for you is to study the Bible. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to visit the Cosby Church of Christ weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to have you. Everyone is welcome. We meet on Highway 321 approx 15 miles from light #3 in Gatlinburg. We meet Sunday 10 A.M. and 6 P.M. and Wed 7 P.M.

re l i g i o n brief Haggard keeps meetings in home
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former megachurch pastor Ted Haggard said he will continue to hold weekly prayer meetings at his home, three years after he was ousted from the church he founded amid a scandal involving a male prostitute and drug use. Haggard said that he was heartened by the 150 people who attended last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first prayer and that he wants to continue the gatherings at his home every Thursday. Haggard resigned from New Life Church in 2006 after a man revealed that the pastor paid him for sex for more than three years.

Library board seeking new members Guidelines provided From Submitted Reports Sevier County Public Library Board of Trustees has decided to meet monthly instead of every other month until the new ibrary opens and things are running smoothly. Meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m., usually at the Main Library. The Dec. 1 meeting will be held at the Seymour branch. In 2010, the board will need three new members due to term limits. Janet King, who has been board chairwoman during the last several years, will be going off the board. She encourages persons to consider submitting applications
for the board and to contact any member with questions. Board member contact information is available at any of the library system branches. The library board is made up of nine members, with two serving on the Nolichucky Regional Library Board. Membership is open to Sevier County residents. Board members are not paid for their service. Terms are for three-year periods. The board also includes several ex-officio volunteer members, who do not vote. The public may recommend people for the board, with applications available at www.sevierlibrary.org or at any branch.
New members are nominated by the sitting members and submitted for approval to the Sevier County Commission. Among the nine members are a city of Sevierville representative, Administrator Steve Hendrix; and a County Commission representative, Commissioner Judy Godfrey. Other board members include David Sarten, Marye Rose, Muriel Higgins, Janet King, Kitty Manscill, Bill Yett and Dewey Manis as well as ex-officio members Robert Grover, Dwight Shephard and Dave Bradley. The main responsibilities of the library board are to hire the director; do long range planning, policy writing
and evaluation; review and approve an annual operating budget; and be advocates for the library system. As the new library building nears completion, the challenges of the board have increased to include development of new policies for meeting rooms, food services and security. The new King Family Library on Gary Wade Boulevard is on schedule to be completed sometime in mid-spring. The building exterior is in the final stages, with the limestone and brickwork under way. The interior steel work is completed, wiring under way and sheetrock going up. In a few weeks, the interior finish work will begin.
for support of Guard From Submitted Reports NASHVILLE — Tennessee’s largest National Guard unit is scheduled to deploy to Camp Shelby, Miss., on or about Dec. 5. At Camp Shelby, the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, which includes many members from Sevier County, will transition to active duty status and conduct predeployment training for approximately two months prior to their departure for Iraq. The regiment plans to allow block leave for the soldiers at some time during the Christmas holidays. According to
Army regulations, soldiers are responsible for their own transportation to and from destinations while on leave status. In several areas of the state, including Sevier County, efforts are currently under way to raise funds to provide the soldiers transportation from Camp Shelby to their home stations, should they be granted leave. Although units of the Tennessee National Guard are free to accept unsolicited donations, rules prohibit the direct or indirect solicitation of money or services by units and unit-sponsored support organizations.

Holidays all about unity The front yard has become a colorful collage, covered with different shades of orange, red, and gold. Several cars with license plates displaying various states pull in the driveway, crunching over the fallen colors. Grandma hugs the breath out of me before even entering the house. Aunts and uncles converse in the living room, being reunited for the first time in months. Everyone is anxious for the celebration yet to come, having fasted all day in anticipation of the event. Finally, Mom comes out of the kitchen and makes the announcement. Thanksgiving dinner is ready. Firstly, the great turkey is passed around, topped with stuffing and oozing gravy. It is followed by a massive honey baked ham, its aroma traveling around the table much more hastily than the plate can be passed. Next comes a radiant dish of homemade cranberry sauce accompanied by green peas, sweet corn, fresh rolls, candied yams and mashed potatoes. Finally, the caboose of the long train of dishes approaches containing a fresh pumpkin pie. All of the dishes return to their starting point barren and empty.

The event consists of masticating ecstasy and joyful exchanges of dialogue. After dinner, the night consists of lounging on sofas and recliners for the majority. Entertainment is offered by the few relatives still energetic enough for interpretive storytelling, possibly spurred on by the help of a few spirits. As the night rolls to an end, farewells
are made as everyone begins slipping on coats and scarves. They then exit into the nippy air, returning to their slumbering vehicles. Having been fully satisfied by their meal to last until next year, everyone leaves the driveway, and departs in all different directions on their own unique path of life. Wherever the coming year make take them, they will never forget the single day when all of their paths met at a crossroad, so that they may cease their traveling and enjoy a pleasant evening in unity. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dylan Gamza is a senior at Sevier County High School.

No two pairs of shoes are alike (Editor’s note: First-run Trail Mix columns will return next week. Here is one from 2008.) Well, this past week I was looking down into the holler toward Webb’s Creek thinking about how most of America’s early explorers and pioneers owned just one pair of shoes. When John Wayne rode off into the sunset you never saw a half-dozen pairs of shoes flopping across his saddle. He won the entire West owning one pair of cowboy boots and (judging by his stride) that pair didn’t even fit that well. There were no moccasin racks in tepees and Smoky Mountain pioneer men like Wiley Oakley secured many items in their backpacks, but plush evening slippers was not one of them. It was a glorious time when a man would scoff at the need for clean socks and when womenfolk wore hi-topped leather shoes for those brief stints when they weren’t barefoot and pregnant. Ahh.....the good ole’ days! Today, shoes account for most of our domestic use gross national product and the shoe industry is the foundation of our nation’s economic system. The housing and oil industries are important, but if the shoe industry ever falters it is time to can beans and store liquid refreshments. Thank goodness there is little risk for a shoe recession because we all need special shoes for virtually every activity and women need them for every colored piece of clothing in their lives. How did I ever wade in streams without my stylishly fluorescent aqua shoes? Which came first: the mustardcolored shoes or the mustard-colored dress? Last week I carefully,
‘Jam’ poetry event planned From Submitted Reports
though secretly, examined all of the shoes of our church members at the annual Big Fish Fry and discovered that absolutely no two pairs were alike. I continued staring at other people’s shoes for the remainder of the week and my initial findings were confirmed. I should not have been surprised. After all, when was the last time you were in an important business meeting or in line at a wedding reception and heard, “Hey, nice shoes. We match!” Each pair of shoes is like a snowflake. It would be irresponsible to avoid a brief mention of “snowflake” functionality or lack thereof. In my humble opinion high heeled shoes and 50,000-watt electronic billboards are in the same category of stupid and unsafe ideas. Ladies, I don’t mean to step on your toes, but what in the world are you thinking? Walking
shoes, not high heels are a much better shoe to help exhibit skinnier and more muscular-looking legs. Walking on tiptoes? I don’t think so. I own a pair of flipflops, leather sandals from Bass Pro Shopa, fluorescent aqua shoes, brown dress shoes, black
dress shoes, cowboy boots, running shoes and seven pairs of the coolest hiking boots ever. (I do love my Vasque Sundowner Summit GTX boots.) I guess if I were an explorer on a horse riding into the sunset I would have to string 13 pairs of shoes and boots across the back of my saddle, and my wife would require at least three additional pack mules. That is just how it looks from my log cabin. — John LaFevre is a local speaker and co-author of the interactive national park hiking book series,

MORRISTOWN — Walters State Community College invites community members to join in the area’s first Slam Jam Poetry Contest at 6 p.m. Monday in the lobby of the Inman Humanities Complex. The contest is open to everyone, and cash prizes will go to the winners. “Slam poetry is just performance poetry,” said Sherri Jacobs, assistant professor of English and advisor to Word Up, the college’s English club. Word Up is sponsoring the poetry contest. “Slam Jam poetry involves poetry, beats and jazz. Word Up is proud to sponsor this contest in Morristown, since events have been held in Knoxville but not Morristown. Huge competitions happen in Nashville and all over the United States, so its popularity is growing.” Jacobs added that slam poetry isn’t just reading a poem, but performing it dramatically. “Slamming” poetry makes poetry more alive.
Join us for an afternoon of food & fun!
Tickets are a $5.00 donation & available by calling the shelter 453-7000 and will be available at the door.

Submitted report SEVIERVILLE — Over 400 people witnessed the Induction of four Tennesseans into the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame during the eighth annual banquet and induction ceremony at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. This year’s event dedicated part of the program to a celebration of Evelyn Bryan Johnson’s 100th birthday. Johnson, an aviation legend, was inducted in 2002 and turned 100 years old on Nov. 4. Her 57,640 logged flight hours, more than any woman in aviation history, earned her a place intThe Guinness Book of World Records. Johnson manages Morristown’s municipal airport. A 2009 honoree, Lt. Col. William H. Pickron Jr., a pilot to many Tennessee governors, was surprised when he discovered that his World War II era friends were on hand: Robert J. “Bob” Gilliland, Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding, Lt. Col. Charlie Brakebill and Staff Sgt. Dennis Livesay. Gilliland was Lockheed’s chief test pilot for the SR-71 “Blackbird” development and still holds the record for the most flight hours at three times the speed of sound. Yeilding is the holder of a number of speed records in the SR-71, including a coast-to-coast flight time of 67 minutes 54 seconds. Brakebill and Livesay rounded out Pickron’s former Air Force comrades. Inductees for 2009: Nashville native Jennifer Cairns Baker; Memphian Jim D. Ethridge; the the late E. Ward King of Kingsport; and Pickron of Murfreesboro. Baker was honored for her advocacy for aircraft maintenance technicians and that profession. She owns the Baker School of Aeronautics in Nashville, a certification training school. Ethridge, a member of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority

Aviation legend Evelyn Bryan Johnson celebrated her 100th birthday at the banquet. She manages Morristown’s airport. and former member and chairman of the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission, has made numerous contributions to the airports and aviation industry in Tennessee. King founded Tennessee’s first intrastate commuter airline. Pickron, in addition to his military service, served as the state’s first chief pilot. He also made flights to successfully transport lifesaving human organs in extreme weather conditions. The Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame is Tennessee’s repository and archive for aviation history. Those selected for induction must have made a significant and enduring contribution or service to aviation from within Tennessee, or be a native Tennessean. To date, 33 men and women have been enshrined. Their stories are displayed on permanent plaques that hang in a place of honor in the Tennessee Museum of Aviation, located at the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport in Sevierville.

Gatlinburg Christmas parade to honor Smokies GATLINBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In honor of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Smokies Superintendent Dale Ditmanson will serve as grand marshal of the 34th annual Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade on Dec. 4. Classic motor cars and period dancing routines will salute the Smokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anniversary at the lead of the parade. Representatives of the park partners, including Friends of the Smokies and Great Smoky Mountains Association, will also ride the grand marshal floats. Steve McGranahan, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strongest Redneck,â&#x20AC;? will serve as honorary grand marshal. The parade starts at 7:30 p.m. downtown, with more than 100 entries, including over a dozen marching bands and giant helium balloons. Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autograph party begins at 6 p.m. at Riverbend Mall, in the midst of a main viewing area for the parade at traffic light No. 3 in front of the Welcome Center. The parade begins at traffic light 1A on Highway 321 and ends at light 10. Pre-parade performances by the Walters State Performing Arts Program, Elizabeth Williams Dance Academy, and the Winter Tunes & Tales carolers are also planned. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday lights program has received $1.5 million in new displays plus a 100-percent conversion to energy-efficient LED bulbs over the past three years. Santa Claus always makes a special appearance in the parade, scheduled this year for Dec. 4. To learn more, visit www.gatlinburg.com.

Kiwanis solicits food for yule parade float From Submitted Reports The 47th annual Sevierville Christmas Parade will be at 11 a.m. Dec. 5, beginning at First Baptist Church parking lot. Last year the Sevierville Kiwanis club discussed themes and decorations for its Christmas float, but kept coming back to the same dilemma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do a great float, but still use it so that it would benefit our community,â&#x20AC;? said President Jessica Page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After looking at the need for the basic necessities in our county at this time, we thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try something a little different.â&#x20AC;? The Kiwanis Club decided to go with a plain float and spend the money that would have been used to decorate it on food to be donated to the Sevier County Food Ministries. The float was so successful the club has decided to do it again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just felt that our funds would be better used and bring attention to the demands that are on the food ministry right now,â&#x20AC;? said club vice president Amy Kingery. The club is asking the community to help decorate the float with food donations that will be taken directly to the agency following the parade. There are several businesses supporting the effort by being drop-off points for food donations: Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation, Pioneer Credit, Sevier Title, Mountain National Bank and all five branches of the Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize that there are a lot of food drives being done by different organizations, but the demand hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let up. The food ministry is feeding a minimum of 1,100 families per week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to imagine the level of need and what it takes to fill that need,â&#x20AC;? said Page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking you to drop off food at any of the locations, or you can bring it to the parade.â&#x20AC;? Food City will provide grocery carts to collect the food.
