Passed soldiers honored at local march Ellen Larson Staff Writer
Tenn. priest admits abuse; at least 1 victim KNOXVILLE — A retired Roman Catholic priest has acknowledged sexually abusing a boy at his Kingsport church more than 30 years ago and said there may be other victims, the bishop of the Diocese of Knoxville said Thursday. Bishop Richard Stika said Thursday the Rev. Bill Casey told church officials that molestation allegations made public a day earlier by Warren Tucker of Jeffersonville, Ind., are credible. Casey, 76 and now a resident of Greene County, has been permanently suspended from Catholic ministry, meaning he will never again be able to present himself as a priest, wear clerical garb or to serve as a priest in any capacity.
Soldiers who have died in war will be honored Saturday at the UT ROTC’s third annual Mountain Man Memorial March in Gatlinburg, Tenn. The event involves three types of marathons. 300 marchers in three divisions participate in either a 26.2, 13.1 or 6.25 mile hike through the Smoky Mountains. They are grouped into three divisions: heavy (military backpacks), light (without military backpacks) and civilian. “This is a military event, but it is open to anyone that wants to do it,” Capt. Brandl Bell, operations officer of the UT Army ROTC Rocky Top Battalion, said. The hike involves all types of difficulty levels through natural forests. Bell said the hike goes up to 2,000 feet elevation on a dirt road up the side of the Smoky Mountains. “It’s going to be a heartbreaker,” he said. Bell said the Lady Vols participated in the march last year, and this year the chamber of commerce and sheriff department is participating in the event. The Mountain Man Memorial March gives trib-
ute to soldiers lost in any war, but it began with UT alumnus 1st Lt. Frank Walkup. Walkup was killed in Rashaad, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle in 2007. He was serving as a platoon leader. Walkup graduated from UT in 2005 with a degree in sociology. After his graduation, he was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division. He then went on to graduate from Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger school. “He was outgoing, motivated and strong-willed,” Bell said. “He is one of the few to be airborne, air assault and ranger qualified.” “Mrs. Walkup will be at the event, and an award will be given to her,” Amanda Hollis, senior in journalism and electronic media and battalion executive officer, said. In addition, Walkup’s two brothers are in the battalion at UT, and one of them is marching. A large portion of the weekend-long tribute goes to the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. On Friday night, they will be honored at a ceremony held at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. The American Gold Star Mothers is a national organization that began in the 1940s as a mourning group for mothers who had lost their children in

MOSCOW — A Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday that adoptions of Russian children by U.S. families had been suspended, although other Russian and U.S. officials disputed this. Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said during a briefing that new adoptions by Americans are on hold pending a visit in the next few days by a U.S. delegation to reach an accord on future placement of Russian children. The U.S. hopes to resolve a bitter dispute that broke out last week, when an American woman sent her 7year-old adopted son back to Russia on a plane by himself. Hotel guest spots python in toilet

LA VISTA, Neb. — A woman reported finding a python in the toilet of her La Vista hotel room. Officials with the Nebraska Human Society estimate the python found Thursday morning at the Hampton Inn was about 3 years old. They said pythons aren’t typically found in the wild, so it’s likely this python was a pet. Hotel officials declined to comment.
war. “Last year, American Gold Star Mothers who had lost sons or daughters from the Vietnam War and from Afghanistan and Iraq came from across the country to our event,” Bell said. This year, they expect 20 mothers from the organization to participate in the march. Bell said the event is growing each year, so they expect to have 40 gold star mothers next year. This event has become the largest gold star mother recognition ceremony in the Southeast and is gaining national recognition. At the actual march, each mother will present a Gold Star Flag to a team marching in honor of her son or daughter. The team will carry the flag and will return it to the mother at the completion of the march. Money is also raised to go to wounded veterans through this event. It gives 20 percent of the proceeds raised at the march to the Wounded Warrior Project, Bell said. On Friday, the ceremony for the American Gold Stars Mothers starts at 7 p.m. The opening ceremonies start Saturday at 8:30 a.m., and the march starts at 9 a.m.

UT’s Ivy Renfroe throws a pitch in a game earlier this season. Renfroe and the Lady Vols won two road games against Arkansas over the weekend.
Lauren Kittrell Staff Writer With a doubleheader Wednesday evening in Fayetteville, Arkansas, freshman pitcher Ivy Renfroe paced the Lady Vol softball team by picking up her 20th and 21st win of the season. Freshmen outfielders Raven Chavanne and Kat Dotson helped Renfroe as No. 16 Tennessee won the opener in Bogle Park 3-1. With a record of 13-4 in the Southeastern Conference and in front of 665 fans, the Lady Vols improved to 35-8 overall and 14-4 in the SEC with a 5-3 victory in the second game from the doubleheader. “Arkansas is a much
improved team, and we had to battle tonight over 14 tough innings,” Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. The coaches reiterated to the team that with a three-game road series at Auburn last weekend and a mid-week doubleheader at Arkansas, five tough games were ahead. “I’m proud that we won four of those five,” Weekly said. “I thought our pitching was good most of the time tonight. We had a couple of lapses, however, that made the games interesting.” With her eighth perfect game at the plate in 2010, Chavanne went 3-for-3 with an intentional walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in the opener.
Chavanne led off Tennessee’s initial at-bat of the contest for the 20th time this season with a first-inning single on the left side of the infield. In game two, Chavanne walked and quickly advanced to second on a groundout. In the second game, Arkansas was unable to manage a base runner against Big Orange starter Cat Hosfield until there was only one down in the bottom of the second. The Razorbacks eventually got on the board in the bottom of the third when pitcher Layne McGuirt drove a solo home run to right center and cut the Razorbacks’ deficit to 5-1. See SOFTBALL on Page 5
Founded in memorial of a UT alumnus, HOPE for Victims will sponsor the fourth annual Victims’ Remembrance Walk on Sunday. “I started this walk after my daughter was murdered there,” Joan Berry, founder of the Victims’ Remembrance Walk, said. Berry’s daughter, Johnia Berry, was brutally stabbed to death in her apartment in 2004. “This is not an event that is easy to go to,” she said. “It’s for family members that have lost love ones due to violent crimes.” The walk kicks off the start to National Crime Victims’ Rights Week 2010. The week is sponsored by the Office of Victims of Crime through the Office of Justice Programs. Gail Calloway is a participant in the Victims’ Remembrance Walk. “My brother-in-law was murdered three years ago,” Calloway said. “He was a Walgreens truck driver, and he was working when he was killed.” David Lindsey was shot outside of the Walgreens on Clinton Highway in Powell in 2006. “I want people to know that violent crimes don’t only happen in bad neighborhoods,” Calloway said. “It could happen anywhere to anyone. David was on his way to work.” Calloway said she participated in the event for the first time last year. “It was moving,” she said. “It is important for families to know they are not alone. With all these families coming together, you don’t feel alone. It’s incredible.” Calloway said experiences like these are difficult to endure. “I can say the process of losing someone is not like you see it on TV,” Calloway said. “I can’t describe in words how it feels.” Berry said the families of these victims need support. “They should know that they have not been forgotten,” Berry said. Berry asked that those who want to participate bring a framed photograph of the lost loved one. She said there will be a table set up to place the photos in order to honor those lost. Berry also said special tributes will be given from families and friends of the victims. Several ministers will attend and give prayers. Congressman John Duncan, Sen. Jim Burchett and Rep. Joe Armstrong will attend as well. Calloway said Berry had a new law put into place where all criminals arrested for violent crimes must have DNA samples taken. The Johnia Berry Act of 2007 was signed by Gov. Phil Bredesen and took effect in January 2008. According to the Johnia Berry Web site, “the law requires anyone arrested for a violent crime to give a DNA sample.” Calloway said the walk is still incredible even though she does not want others to endure a hardship similar to the loss of her brother-in-law. “You can take something horrible and make something good out of it,” she said. The walk will take place Sunday at 2 p.m. at Volunteer Landing Park. For additional information, visit the Johnia Berry Web site at http://www.johniaberry.org.

‘Man of La Mancha’ brings season to close Staff Reports Putting on a musical at a professional theater on a college campus takes many months of hard work and dedication from students, faculty, staff and professional actors. The Clarence Brown Theatre is finishing up its 2010 season with the hit musical “Man of La Mancha.” The show opens on April 16 with a performance at 7:30 p.m., followed by a reception featuring Spanish-style cuisine for patrons, actors and technical staff. With 50 costumes, a cast of 34 professional, undergraduate and graduate actors, and a 16-piece orchestra, intense preparation is vital before the curtain goes
up. “It’s a collaborative effort,” Paul Barnes, director, said. “This is probably the largest production I’ve directed at the Clarence Brown, but this is a very professional organization from top to bottom.” This is Barnes’ fifth production for CBT. While preparing for the show, a lot of time went toward researching the Spanish Inquisition, which is the backdrop for the five-time Tony Award-winning play. Cristin Downs, a contract employee stage managing the show, is in charge of coordinating all of the technical aspects. CBT is a rarity because it is a professional theater on a university campus. This allows professionals working in theater to
work side by side with students and faculty. “I make sure everyone has what they need to do their job,” Downs said. “I’m the communication hub. I go to the shops every week to visit one on one to make sure we’re all on the same page. I’m sort of a psychic and a psychologist at the same time.” All of the various technical elements, which include scenery, sound, lighting and props, must work together for a cohesive end product. The goal of everyone working with the production is to put on a great show that leaves the audience wanting more. Ted Kitterman, a sophomore theater major playing Juan, said working on this
show has changed how he views professional theater, and he hopes patrons will feel the same. “It’s just a good time,” Kitterman said. “You go to the movies and see famous people on TV, but you don’t get that sense of real life happening right before your eyes. It’s just a beautiful story that gets told like nothing else I’ve ever seen.” For a look at the behind-the-scenes work of “Man of La Mancha,” visit http://www.utk.edu/tntod a y / 2 0 1 0 / 0 4 / 1 5 /m a n - o f - l a - m a n c h a / .

OPINIONS
LettersEditor to the
Columnist ignores own argument when making assumptions This letter is written in response to Amien Essif’s April 14 column, “Students do not need ‘fatherly advice.’” I have two comments/observations for Essif: First, do not assume that everyone on this campus believes exactly as you do. After all, diversity includes differing schools of thought as well as skin color (or race if that is how you view it). While it might not be particularly correct for anyone to give anyone “fatherly advice” on what one should say at a military-sponsored, or for that matter any, function, one really should consider one’s own statements. What support can Essif give to the argument that because “neither I nor any man can know anything about Afghanistan,” we should end our counterinsugency there? In fact, would Essif presume that even the men and women serving there don’t understand it? Free speech is a double-edged sword. Second, who exactly is it that was “loitering on our territory”? National Guard soldiers? That comment goes one step too far. Don’t forget that there are quite a few “poor young fish” who attend this great university that have also chosen to serve in the National Guard, a number of which are serving in Iraq or Afghanistan right now. I myself am proudly serving in the National Guard. Am I “loitering on your territory”? I wouldn’t presume to say that anyone’s free speech should be violated, including fatherly old men and “open-minded, critical” young college students such as Essif. Making too many assumptions is a crime committed by both sides of the political spectrum. Just don’t accuse “us” of imposing on “your” turf. Isn’t the argument supposed to be that a university is everyone’s turf? An open forum for discussion, free speech and exchange of knowledge? Practice your own ideals, those held high by the left wing: absolute inclusion.

First Amendment does not censor opposing opinions In Amien Essif’s April 14 column, “Students do not need ‘fatherly advice,’” he confuses criticism with a “challenging” of his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment, among other things, does protect a person’s right to free speech. However, and this is where he seems to be mistaken, it only applies to a governmental entity censoring you. It does not protect you from censoring by a private entity (like on a newspaper or Internet forum), nor does it even come close to a security blanket protecting you from any and all criticisms or opinions differing from your own. Essif ends up contradicting his message of First Amendment rights with his statement, “The suburbs is (sic) a good place to practice your American exceptionalism, but don’t try to come onto our campus and abridge our First Amendment rights.” Aside from thinking that he somehow holds the same opinion as everyone else on campus, he also portrays his argument as “free speech is a great thing, so long as it doesn’t contradict my views.” Every single issue has at least two sides, and many have far more opinions than can fit into the standard “pro” and “con” sides. He fails to recognize this, and even goes so far as to imply that a good democracy is based solely on one side of the argument. A single viewpoint, on anything, is never representative of any group of people. As Gen. George S. Patton once said, “If everyone’s thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.” By stating that the appropriate place for opposing viewpoints is where he doesn’t have to deal with them, he takes himself out of the “open-minded” group of people on this campus of which he no doubt considers himself a part. Allowing various viewpoints to peacefully interact is what has allowed this nation to become known as a beacon of liberty. Perhaps Essif needs to reconsider just who has “slipped on the fascism.” Michael Splane Junior in aerospace engineering
THE DAILY BACON • Blake Treadway
Does anything good come from Texas? I mean you have the Houston Texans, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros and the Dallas Cowboys as far as sports go, but does anyone care? Colt McCoy was a huge letdown, and George Bush was not much better. Texas barbeque is not on par with the Carolinas, and Memphis blows them both out of the water. Sure they were a country at one time, but they could not even get that right. Tennessee volunteers even had to bail Texas out in their war against Mexico (robbing Tennessee of its greatest hero: Davy Crocket). The only good thing to come from Texas happened over 120 years ago when Charles Alderton invented Dr. Pepper (truly the nectar of the gods). With such failures occurring in Texas, I was intrigued when I learned they were going to revise the Texas schoolbooks to be more conservative. How could they screw this up? Is there a state that better defines conservatism? When I see Texas on the map, I see a big red state, 34 free Electoral College votes for Republicans and, most importantly, America’s package. I was interested to see if a state could fight the “liberal indoctrination” of our youth. So what exactly is Texas proposing? Well for starters, can you name the third president of the United States? Or who wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence? Or who bought the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon? Or who was the first of only two men to capture the elusive Triple Crown by becoming Secretary of State, Vice President and President all in one lifetime (that’s right, no Contra Code was used)? If you cannot answer these, just move to Texas, soon enough their children will not know either. The Texas Board of Education is proposing to downplay Thomas Jefferson’s role in the founding of this country. Of course, they are proposing other changes, too, such as calling America a “federal republic” instead of a “democratic republic, refusing to require students to learn about the concept of separation of church and state, forcing students to read Jefferson Davis’s
inaugural address and thus glorifying a traitor and slavery and adding a section on the importance of country music but leaving out the influence of hip-hop. Also, they are adding a section that teaches the importance of the conservative movement of the ’80s and ’90s, but this is likely to have little impact on students because honestly, how many times did history classes get past World War II? I can understand why conservatives want to change some of these things (though it is ironic that the ideology of little government involvement is using their governmental powers to rewrite history). Conservatives are not generally admired in history books, but Thomas Jefferson? I thought he was one of the people the Tea Party groups constantly quoted. Wasn’t he the champion of small government and states’ rights? Does the right know this? What could the original People’s Champion have done to get kicked out of textbooks? Simple: He was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and the only (known) deist to be president. He was a huge advocate of the separation of church and state, and that does not fit into Texas’s definition of America. America is first and foremost a Christian nation in the opinion of many, but thank God we are not. America is a product of the Enlightenment. Our laws are based on reason and not religion. Our government is supposed to remain free of religious biases because religion is irrational by definition. Religion is based on faith, and faith cannot be proven. A country like this one was only possible because the Church’s strangle hold on Europe had been broken years earlier allowing for free and rational thoughts to circulate. Jefferson committed more atrocious acts to merit his elimination from textbooks (like being a slave owner or downsizing the navy so much we could not defend ourselves in the War of 1812), but his stances on religion were forward thinking. He was easily the most influential of all the founding fathers. (He has a whole era named after him.) To remove him is to rewrite history. We have already condemned him by placing him on the two dollar bill; does he really deserve being forgotten, too? — Gabe Johnson is a senior in political science and history.

When I was little, I sat Indian style. You know what I’m talking about. We’re in kindergarten, and it’s story time. We all gather in a circle and sit with our tiny bottoms on the ground and our legs snugly intertwined in one another. But kids aren’t allowed to sit Indian style anymore. Well, I take that back — they’re not allowed to call it Indian style. This style of seating oneself is now referred to as “crisscross applesauce.” Really, America? Have we gotten so concerned about not offending anyone that we’re changing the name of how someone sits down? You know what else kids can’t do anymore? Play hide-and-seek. At least not in England. Apparently the name of the game could be offensive to Sikhs. (I’m not making this up, people. You can Google it.) Now, the game must be called “find who’s lost.” Another one of my favorite activities as a child was eating angel food cake. I loved to top it with strawberries and whipped cream. I also loved it when my mom made devil’s food cake and topped it with vanilla funfetti icing. But in the opinion of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, enjoying angel and devil’s food cake is taboo. After all, it implies that white people are angels and black people are devils. Interesting. This thought never crossed my mind when I ate these treats. I was just a wee little toddler enjoying some delicious cake. But wait, it gets more ridiculous. Price also condemned the use of terms like “black hole” and “black sheep.” So apparently we’re all being
insensitive if we say something is black when the color of it actually happens to be black. This is as insane as me suggesting that the terms “white noise,” “Wite-out” and “white water rafting” are offensive. I digress. Oh, here’s another childhood memory — counting down until Christmas Break! And that is definitely not OK anymore. It’s now called Winter Break. But some people aren’t even satisfied with this renaming. After all, December isn’t winter for everyone. So the proper term has now become “Solstice Break.” I hope you’re taking notes because it’s hard to keep up. What can we do about this problem? Wait — don’t brainstorm about it. That’s another term we’re not allowed to say anymore. It is slowly being replaced with the term “thought shower.” Why? Because saying that you want to “brainstorm” could offend epileptics. So I’m just wondering when all of this stops. I have listed just a few examples of the outrageous political correctness that’s taking over the world. Granted, I’m not making it a mission to offend people. I would never try to do that. But it’s getting to the point where we have to walk on eggshells constantly because someone is going to bite our heads off about something as innocent as reciting “Bah, Bah, Black Sheep.” I don’t know about you all, but the whole thing exhausts me. We could be so much better off if people would stop looking for a reason to be offended. Because none of the aforementioned terms were created to discriminate. So let’s all just take a chill pill. Grab a friend, find who’s lost and plop down crisscross applesauce with a piece of darkly colored cake. And while you’re at it, take a thought shower about what you will do with the upcoming warm solstice break. See? Doesn’t that sound stupid? — Amber Harding is a junior in journalism and electronic media. She can be reached at ahardin8@utk.edu.

THESPORTSPAGE
Spring game offers peek at roster For the third straight year, the Tennessee football team will have a new headman patrolling the sidelines in the annual Orange and White Game. That’s not the only unfortunate news for the Vols as they are already preparing for the 2010 season. UT lost all but 10 starters from last year’s team. They must replace their starting quarterback, the entire offensive line and a 1,300-yard rusher. The good news for both the fans • File Photo and the young Tennessee UT’s annual Orange and White game will take roster is the abundance of place this Saturday at Neyland Stadium at 2 p.m. starting positions up for
into a big play at any moment. Toney Williams is still recovering from ACL surgery, but the vibe on him prior to the injury suggests he will be a factor at tailback come August.
Brad Merritt Sports Editor grabs. The following is a list of the top five areas to watch during Saturday’s Orange and White Game. 1) The entire offensive line — It may not be the most exciting or sexy element of college football, but it is where games are won and lost. Replacing starters on the offensive line is never at the top of a new coach’s wish list. Replacing all five starters is a flat out nightmare. The Vols also lack any sense of depth on the interior. Still, there are some interesting battles to watch. Jarrod Shaw likely has a starting guard position locked down due to the fact he is the sole offensive lineman on the UT roster who has started a game during his college career. Likely starters JerQuari Schofield (guard) and Dallas Thomas (tackle) have been lauded for their athleticism, but their inexperience is a major concern. The pair has zero significant game experience between them. Cody Pope and converted defensive tackle Chase Nelson are battling it out for the starting center position, while freshman tackle Ja’Wuan James is also worth watching. He is going to be a star … eventually. For now, he’s forced into duty by virtue of his raw talent and UT’s necessity but should be a linchpin for the offensive line by season’s end. 2) Quarterback — With the graduation of Jonathan Crompton and
the recent departure of the Fightin’ Ginger Nick Stephens, the UT football team will enter the 2010 season without a quarterback with game experience. Junior college transfer Matt Simms is the likely starter, with freshman Tyler Bray showing plenty of long-term potential during spring practice. Simms throws a pretty ball and has shown surprising confidence for a guy that has been on the UT campus for a few short months. However, his only game experience is at the junior college level and, needless to say, the SEC is a beast of an entirely different breed. Nonetheless, who the quarterback is will make little difference if the patchwork offensive line cannot protect them. 3) Tailback — The good news for the Vols here is there is a trio of candidates that will battle into the fall for the starting tailback position. The bad news, however, is what makes the tailback position worth watching Saturday. Not only must they replace a 1,300-yard rusher (Montario Hardesty), but also 2009’s national top recruit, Bryce Brown, who has decided to transfer. Tauren Poole has seized his opportunity this spring by breaking numerous large runs en route to leading the Vols in rushing during every scrimmage. David Oku should offer a nice change of pace this season. Despite his diminutive frame, his explosion and elusiveness can turn
4) Defensive back — Not only did the Vols lose a top five draft pick in Eric Berry, but their top cover corner, Dennis Rogan, decided to turn pro alongside some well-publicized academic failures. Nyshier Oliver and Eric Gordon are battling it out for the corner spot vacated by Rogan, and Darren Myles should take over at safety for Berry. If Art Evans can get healthy, he is likely to start at the other corner. If not, Gordon and Oliver will both start. Janzen Jackson will lead the young secondary and is a potential star in the making. 5) Linebacker — The Vols know what they have in Nick Reveiz if he returns to form after ACL surgery. After that, the linebacker corps is a bit of a mystery. Savion Frazier is out with injury, and Herman Lathers, while talented, is undersized and prone to injury. Lathers will start if he is healthy, and the third starter, LaMarcus Thompson, is a proven SEC linebacker. The major concern for the Vols, though, is their severe lack of experienced depth. They will need young linebackers like Jerod Askew and Greg King to step up big at some point if last year was any indication of how many injuries to expect at the position.
