Force of nature Fall season attracts more tourists to the Smokies By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer

Sports

Yet another round of heavy rain showers moving through East Tennessee forced another lifesaving operation in Sevier County as a mud slide threatened to claim a cabin in Gatlinburg. Fire Chief Greg Miller said crews with his department had to use a ladder truck to reach eight people stuck in a house at 1183 Ski View Drive. Though those folks were taken to safety in time, MiIler said city workers would likely be working at the scene into the evening Saturday to stabilize the hillside around the structure. The slide was reported to officials around 3:20 p.m. Saturday, as heavy and steady rain drenched the area.

Miller reported the running water, mud and debris washed out the ground under the road to the house, leaving it susceptible to collapse. It was that danger that forced firefighters to use a ladder truck to evacuate the cabin, rather than drive their heavy trucks on the compromised pavement. It was clear the folks in the structure needed to get out, with the risk the slide might eventually claim the house growing, Miller said. The slide was the result of persistent showers that National Weather Service Meteorologist David Hotz said dumped more than 3 inches of rain across the region Saturday. The heavy precipitation, the result of an upper-atmosphere trough moving through the Midwest and a front dragging across Tennessee, set a

With its rich colors and cooler weather, the Smokies always seem to be a top place for people to visit during the fall season. Nancy Gray, spokesperson for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, said October is one of the peak months for tourism in the park. “Of the 9 million visitors the park receives annually, over 1 million visitors come in October along with June, July and August. It’s one of the most popular seasons of the year. We see a lot of people the last two weeks of October.” Gray said it was a tradition for many families to visit the area, bringing back the same groups of people every year. A visitor study taken in 2008 showed the states from which the most visitors come: Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama

and Ohio. “We don’t have very many insects and bugs this time of the year, and everything there is to do in the summer is here in the fall — with the exception of jumping into the cold rivers,” Gray said with a laugh. “It’s a great time to sight see.” Since many people enjoy viewing the scenery from their car, traffic in the area this time of year becomes especially congested, she added. “Start out early and you can escape the congestion you might run into. There are a lot of ways to drive and see the park. Newfound Gap is the easiSee fall, Page A4

The view from the Foothills Parkway near Townsend is one of the popular points to which visitors go to see the leaves change color in the Smoky Mountains.

Normal weather pattern predicted this season By ELLEN BROWN Staff Writer Those who are looking forward to temperatures cooling down in East Tennessee this fall are in luck. “The climate prediction center says we’ll have near normal precipitation and temperatures,” said David Gaffin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Morristown. “Winter is expected to have below normal precipitation and temperatures, and we’re going to be transitioning into that.” He added that a Southern jet

stream will bring moisture in from the Pacific Ocean, and more cloud cover is expected. “Some periods will be warmer than others — it will probably have its ups and downs, averaging out to be normal.” Nancy Gray, spokesperson for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, said the leaves in the park have already begun to change. “Anytime people come between now and November, they will start to see fall colors. Leaf season is long and begins at higher eleva-

tions. At above 3,500 feet, many will change color but don’t hold the same variety as the mid to lower elevations.” According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, three factors influence autumn leaf color: leaf pigments, length of night and weather. There are three types of pigments involved in autumn color. Chlorophyll gives the leaves their basic green color and is necessary for photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that enables plants to use sunlight to manufacture sugars for

their food. Carotenoids produce yellow, orange and brown colors in corn, carrots and daffodils, as well as rutabagas, buttercups and bananas. Anthocyanins give color to cranberries, red apples, concord grapes, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and plums. They are water soluble and appear in the watery liquid of leaf cells. During the growing season, chlorophyll is continually being produced and broken down with See weather, Page A4

Charged CNA has criminal record By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer PIGEON FORGE — It appears at least one of the women involved in taking inappropriate pictures and videos with cell phones at a Pigeon Forge nursing facility is no stranger to the inside of a jail cell. Mary Ann Burgess, 50, and April Longmire, 35, both of Sevierville, were indicted by a Sevier County

Grand Jury earlier this week on four counts of health care abuse brought by the Tennessee Bureau of

Burgess

Investigation. The women, who have been released from prison on $20,000 bond, are accused of tak-

ing the images of patients at Pigeon Forge Care and Rehabilitation, some of them in the nude and many in compromising situations. According to court records, the incident is Longmire’s first brush with local law enforcement, though it’s far from that for Burgess, who has been arrested by Sevier County authorities six previous times since 2000. She has

previously been charged with driving on a revoked license, DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and domestic violence assault. The revelations about Burgess’ criminal record have stirred new inquiries into whether the facility is properly reviewing the records of those it hires and employs. Those concerns are bolstered by a finding in a U.S. Department of

Health and Human Services report that indicates the center did not screen new employees, hired people who had a legal history of mistreating residents and did not investigate reports of abuse. Officials with Signature Healthcare, which manages the local facility, avow they do have a screening process for new hires that See cna, Page A4

WIC program expanding on food packages for state families From Submitted Reports Participants enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC, are seeing changes. The food packages are changing to better meet the nutritional needs of families. New foods will include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, soy products and baby foods. The new Tennessee WIC food packages will include a cash value voucher for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables; whole grain cereals, breads, brown rice, bulgur or soft corn or whole wheat tortillas; and will only provide whole milk for children aged 12 through 23 months. The choices of fish for mothers who exclusively breastfeed

have also expanded. Mothers who exclusively breastfeed receive more variety and larger quantities, including a monthly $10 cash value voucher for fruits and vegetables. Infants that are exclusively breastfed receive larger quantities and more types of baby food. WIC provides low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, new mothers, infants and children up to age 5 with food. The program also provides nutrition education and referrals to health

care services. More than 175,000 Tennesseans receive WIC benefits each month. For more information, call 800-342-5942 or visit health.state.tn.us/wic/.

Happy rockin’ birthday Hard Rock Gatlinburg celebrates 10 years with party, donation to Smokies By DEREK HODGES Staff Writer GATLINBURG — It was a party fit for an international megastar in Gatlinburg with dignitaries, an ice sculpture that dispensed mixed drinks, a triple vow renewal service, a generous gift and even an acclaimed recording artist as Hard Rock Cafe celebrated the 10th birthday of its Sevier County location. The festivities were as unique as the restaurant itself, marked by an acoustic performance by Atlantic recording artist Marc Broussard, proclamations from city and state officials, the renewal of vows by three couples led by County Planner Jeff Ownby, and a $5,000 donation to Friends of the Smokies. “Hard Rock is a visible member of the business community and it’s great to have someone with that visibility recognize the connection with their customers and their community, and the Smokies and give something back,” Friends of the Smokies spokeswoman Holly Burcham said. Half of the sizable contribution came from the sale of three Hard Rock pins designed to show a glimpse of Great Smoky

Mountains National Park. The proceeds from those items, sold only in the local store and designed by a staffer here, were matched by Hard Rock International. “It’s just great to have that local connection to know that it was someone here who designed them, not just someone in their corporate office,” Burcham said. “They’ve released one of these pins each quarter and they have all three sold out so far. That’s just amazing.” The fourth in the series was released during Wednesday evening’s celebration. It depicts an animal holding a guitar – the instrument is the theme for all the Hard Rock pins across the company – and garnered high praise from those in attendance. “It’s very cute,” Burcham said. “I’m sure it will sell out like the others have.” The party marked the first time Hard Rock CEO Hamish Dodds visited the local restaurant. He offered gratitude to the staff here and the reception the community has given the cafe. “We’ve got a city here that’s really welcomed us and we appreciate that,” Dodds said. “I want to say thank you.” Dodds also recognized

those employees who have been at the eatery since it opened, rewarding their decade of service. He presented Rolex watches to those four folks – Steve Wiggins, Bobby Steel, John Antikainen and Olwen Claiborne. Those watches became an object of desire for plenty of other people who took the stage throughout the night, including some local officials. “I look forward to coming back in 10 years because I want to get my Rolex watch,” Sen. Doug Overbey said. Gatlinburg Mayor Jerry Hayes joked that by the time the restaurants celebrates that anniversary, he and Overbey will have learned to play the guitars presented to them by the Hard Rock staff, all of whom signed the instruments. “I’ll play something at the 20-year anniversary,” Hayes joked, prompting Overbey to quip, “Mayor Hayes, you rock.” The two men presented proclamations on behalf of the city and the General Assembly recognizing the anniversary and offering praise for the restaurant’s contributions to the local community.

seeks to weed out those who might be a risk to those at the center. “Signature completes preemployment screenings including criminal background and abuse registry checks,” Vice President of Operations Steve Fleming said in response to questions about the process. “The individual in question obviously withheld information from her employer regarding personal criminal activity that occurred after her initial employment.” Though the first of Burgess’ charges appears about a year before she started at Pigeon Forge Care and Rehabilitation, the majority of them were filed after her employment. The company only asks that workers divulge to managers if they are arrested after they’re hired. Fleming also offered a defense for the entire Signature system in his statements to The Mountain Press. “Signature is blessed to have compassionate care givers in our twenty-two facilities in Tennessee that strive daily to not only meet our residents physical and emotional needs, but to radically change long term care,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of our great employees believe in our spirit led organization and would do almost anything to help enhance and protect the quality of life of our customers and families. That is why when this event happened our entire company was devastated by these unethical actions of two individuals. This is not indicative of our people and their daily compassionate service provided across Tennessee by our care teams.” A spokeswoman with the state agency that oversees the licensure of certified nursing assistants, which both women

It’s not fall in the Smokies for Patricia Whitmire without trips to The Christmas Store and the AppleBarn Cider Mill and General Store. “We’re originally from Louisiana, and we would always come here every year around Christmastime. We moved up here so she could go to the University of Tennessee,” Whitmire said of daughter Jaclyn.

Priscilla C. Mitchell Sherrick, age 94 of Kenosha, WI died on September 24, 2009 at Brookside Care Center. Born September 5, 1915, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Walter C. Mitchell & Camille E. (Fennell) Mitchell. Priscilla moved with her family as a youngster to Indianapolis, IN and attended primary and high schools in Indianapolis. She graduated from George Washington High School in 1933. In 1936, she completed her studies at the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, achieving awards in general proficiency, and later that year received her Indiana State Registered Nurses License. She was employed as a nurse for many years. In 1942 she met the love of her life, Everett B. Sherrick. They were married Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1942 in Indianapolis, IN. In 1945, Priscilla and Everett moved to Orchard Lake, MI. where their two sons were raised. With her two sons active in Boy Scouts, Priscilla drew upon her nursing training serving as a nurse at Boy Scout Camps in Michigan. Priscilla enjoyed traveling and visited many State and National Parks all across the United States. By 1975, annual Spring and Fall trips to the Great Smokey Mountains resulted in Priscilla and Everett’s move to the mountains near Gatlinburg, TN. Priscilla and Everett (avid hikers) established the Senior Citizens Club in Gatlinburg which arranged Smokey Mountain area trail hikes and bus tours for club members. Priscilla’s love of flowers and gardening inspired her membership and eventual Presidency of the Gatlinburg Garden Club for several years. Proudest accomplishments of her tenure were Wild Flower Pilgrimages held each Spring which shared the area’s wild flowers with local schoolage children. In 2001, Everett and Priscilla moved to Kenosha to be close to their son John and his wife Laura. Priscilla had artistic talents and enjoyed many hobbies and crafting. She loved sewing, painting wild flowers and nature scenes, turning pottery on a wheel, making enameled pieces, jewelry, and wood carving small pieces which she shared with friends and family. Priscilla was preceded by her loving husband of 63 years, Everett B. Sherrick. She is survived by two sons: Stephen Sherrick (Molly) of Waterford, MI and John Sherrick (Laura) of Kenosha. Loving grandchildren: Todd Sherrick (Ann) of Southfield, MI; Christopher Sherrick (Juliet) Holt, MI; Brian Reedy (Megan) Berkley, MI; Jill DeDoes (Terry) Jackson, MI; Michele Balmes (Jacob) Gurnee, IL; Valerie Hardwick (Steve) Taylor, SC; and Benjamin Sherrick (Michelle) Kenosha, WI. Priscilla was blessed with 15 great-grandchildren; Gabrielle, Sasha, Alexis (Chris Sherrick); Jack & Henry (Reedy); Nash and Cade (DeDoes); Justyn Pollock (Hardwick, Kenosha); Guenevere and Wyatt (Balmes); Tyler, Dylan and Riley (Hardwick) and Hailey & Abigail (Sherrick). Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday September 29, at 10:30 a.m. at the Piasecki-Althaus Funeral Home. Private interment will be held in White Chapel Cemetery, Troy, Michigan.

est route but probably the most congested.” Gray recommended planning in advance other areas to visit, such as Foothills Parkway, Cades Cove, Parson Branch Road and Cosby. Many locals have their own fall traditions, taking advantage of all our area has to offer during the season. “When I was growing up, on the second or third weekend in October, my family would have our reservation for Cades Cove Campground,” said Allen Newton, executive director of the Sevier County Economic Development Council. “We would do things like trout fishing. I think a lot of people like visiting our area because it brings back lots of good memories.” For graphic designer Laura Laymon, fall is by far the best time to enjoy hiking in the mountains — at least when she’s not cheering on the University of Tennessee football team.

were hired as at the center, said those licenses have been revoked for Burgess and Longmire. Representatives of Signature Healthcare have said they’re glad the proper legal action has been taken and point out they moved quickly at the beginning of the summer to fire the two women after learning of the charges. Additionally, they say they’ve moved to implement a strict policy prohibiting employee cell phone use in patient areas. Still, they have come under considerable fire from relatives of former patients, who allege the care their family members received could be considered abuse. The center is also facing a lawsuit from the children of a woman who died after a stay there, with court documents contending her death could be traced directly to the treatment she received. The facility was forbidden by the Tennessee Department of Health from admitting new patients after allegations about Burgess and Longmire’s activities were reported to it. Since then, Pigeon Forge Care and Rehabilitation has received a “much below average” rating, the lowest one possible, in the Department of Health and Human Services review. That evaluation, based on a five-star system with five being the best and one the worst, gave one star for health inspections at the facility, two stars for the staff, three for the measures the center takes to assure the quality of the care given and an overall rating of one star. Under the health inspections heading, the department reports 35 “health deficiencies” at the center, the highest number in Tennessee and far more than the six that an average nursing facility in the state has. The data does not indicate what those deficiencies are.

record for one-day totals for the day, with 3.03 inches officially recorded at the Knoxville airport by early evening, with rain still falling. That prompted flood warnings all across the area, including in Sevier County. Though the forecast calls for cooler, drier weather to move into the area at the start of the week, rain has been the big story throughout the year. Gatlinburg activated their Level 1 flood response plan around 6 p.m. Saturday after flood gauges in the city and in the national park exceeded 5 feet. The gauge at the Ripley’s Aquarium bridge indicated the river was flowing at 6 feet, while the gauge at the Chimney’s reached 5 1/2 feet. Miller said the average depth of the water at the bridge is about 1 1/2 feet. Reports indicated the water was threatening to crest the bridge. Activating to Level 1 flood response, Miller said, put personnel at all the bridges to monitor the water levels and evacuate anyone deemed at risk. The department also assisted Pittman Center Volunteer officials with an evacuation on Riversong Way. Washington D.C. couple Jane and Chuck Williamson were evacuated from their rental cabin as water from the nearby river approached the property. “Water gets up down there,” Pittman Center Police Chief Rick Adams said. It got within 2 to 3 feet from a neighboring house. The Williamson’s cabin is situated on a small rise and had water on both sides. “The river kept coming up and it came very, very fast,” Jane Williamson said. “I really was not afraid in the house. I was concerned for the vehicle. It was marching up on the vehicle.” She called the rental company, Jackson Mountain Homes, who contacted emergency officials to come to the couple’s aid. They and their two dogs, a golden retriever named Rosco and a lab named Megan, were taken by raft to higher ground courtesy of the Gatlinburg swift water rescue team and Pittman Center Volunteer Fire Department. Ironically, Jane Williamson said they chose the site to give their dogs, who love water, easy access to the river. “They’ve been swimming in the river every day.” Other evacuations include the Elkmont Campground inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Park spokesman Bob

Miller reported around 170 parties were asked to evacuate the campground because the riverside site is one of the first to flood. Cades Cove Loop was also closed Saturday afternoon, but was expected to reopen today. Just a few hours into Saturday’s showers, local rain gages were already nearly 10 inches above normal for the year. Typically East Tennessee gets 36.72 inches of rain through Sept. 25, while the total for this year is already 46.50 inches. That meant the ground was already saturated when Saturday’s heavy rain started, prompting slides like the one in Galtinburg and flooding throughout the region. “We’ve had numerous reports all across East Tennessee of road closures and ponding water,” Hotz said. Those were certainly both problems here in Sevier County, where Sevierville Police Department spokesman Bob Stahlke reported several thoroughfares closed, including New Era, Burden Hill, Red Bank and Apple Valley roads, because of high water. Those impassable conditions were caused by creeks overflowing their banks and drainage ditches unable to handle the volume of water coming through them Saturday. Meanwhile in Pigeon Forge, Fire Chief Tony Watson said his crews started on Friday preparing for what he rightly suspected would be another significant flooding event in the city. Though there are plenty of flood-prone areas Watson’s department takes care of, by early evening Saturday parts of the city that rarely flood were having the problems, as places like Wears Valley escaped major road issues. For instance, Ridge Road became nearly impassable as water flowed over it, while the often-closed Covemont Road remained clear. Watson said he expected that to change as rainwater makes its way from some of the smaller streams and out of the mountains into the area’s main waterways. “Where Pigeon Forge gets into trouble is when we have rain like this that falls all over the county, because then it collects and we don’t see it start to crest for several hours in the city,” Watson said. “At this point we’re watching the radar and we’ve talked to the National Weather Service. I do expect we’ll be working into the night to control the situation and keep everyone safe.” — Gail Crutchfield contributed to this story

Solar energy to power classroom

CLARKSVILLE (AP) — An Austin Peay State University classroom is now being run on solar power, making the school the first commercial customer in Clarksville to contribute solar energy to the power grid. The 12-panel solar array at the school’s Environmental Education Center farm was hooked up on Monday and was able to start producing at a 2.1 kilowatt an hour rate after a brief blast of sunlight on an otherwise cloudy day. Donald Sudbrink, director of the environmental center, told The LeafChronicle that the array will power a 24-student classroom and the rest of the unused energy will feed into the Tennessee Valley Authority’s power grid.

Scholars study Springsteen

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (AP) — Hold still, Bruce — this won’t hurt a bit! Scholars from around the world are dissecting the Springsteen legend this weekend in New Jersey. “Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium” continues through Sunday at Monmouth University. The no-holds-barred intellectual romp, coinciding with Springsteen’s 60th birthday, was organized by Virginia Tech and Penn State Altoona. And yes, the scholars do get the comedic irony of studying a man who “learned more from a three-minute record than he ever learned from school.” The festivities include several pilgrimages to the landmark Stone Pony nightclub, down the road in Asbury Park, N.J.

Ramsey seeks to delay voting machines law KINGSPORT (AP) — Tennessee Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey says a bill that would delay a law requiring a paper trail from voting machines will top his agenda the next legislative session. The Blountville Republican attended a breakfast in Kingsport for business leaders on Friday. The law, called the Voter Confidence Act, requires the state’s 95 counties to use optical scan voting machines and paper ballots no

later than the November 2010 elections. Under the law, counties are required to use certified equipment that meets the security and reliability standards adopted by the federal Election Assistance Commission in 2005. The bill, which would delay implementation of the law until 2012, passed the House last session but failed in the Senate. However, Ramsey told the Kingsport TimesNews that the legislation “will be one of the first

things we bring up” during the next session that convenes in January. “We voted on it last day of (Senate) session,” he said. “We had a couple Republicans absent that day. That’s the only reason it didn’t pass then. I feel confident we will delay it.” Meanwhile, Secretary of State Tre Hargett says he’s moving forward to have the new voting technology in place statewide by the November 2010 elections. In July, Hargett said in a press release that

“there are no vendors certified to sell equipment meeting these standards.” However, he told business leaders Friday that his office is going ahead and sending vendors a request for proposals to buy the equipment. And if no equipment is available, he said, “We’ll have to use existing technology.” That technology mainly consists of touchscreen electronic voting systems that do not give voters a record of how they voted.

commentary

Widows of soldiers have friend in Taryn There have been more than 4,300 U.S. military personnel killed in Iraq since that war began in 2003. One of them was Army Cpl. Michael Davis of San Marcos, Texas. He died on May 21, 2007, when several improvised explosive devices were detonated near his vehicle. He was only 22. His wife Taryn, just 21, was visiting her mother that night when she got a call from a neighbor telling her to come home quickly. The neighbor wouldn’t say why, but Taryn Davis had a hunch. As she drove up to the house she hoped it would be one military officer at the scene. When she saw two, she knew the worst had happened. “The whole time I was driving home I was praying, ‘Dear Lord, let it be an injury,’” she said by phone last week. “I made them stop at the last turn before they reached the house, so I could look down the street and see if it was one man or two.” Michael Davis had been in Baghdad eight months, involved in road clearance. Dangerous work. An hour before he died Taryn and he swapped instant messages. She cherishes that last communication. As the days passed following the funeral, Taryn Davis noticed her friends peeling away. They stopped calling, coming by, asking about her. For a while everyone was there, offering and giving assistance. Suddenly few were there. She felt isolated. She wanted to say in bed all day and grieve. He was halfway through his deployment, so it wasn’t her husband’s absence that was holding her down. It was the fact he wouldn’t be back, and she saw no future. Resources? Not many out there for grieving widows of servicemen. So after a few weeks of doing little, she decided to act on her situation and reach out to other widows of soldiers who had died in combat. She wanted an organization devoted entirely to widows. Early on she helped to create a 75-minute documentary which she distributes free to any widows who ask for it. A Web site helps connect widows from all over the country. With social networking such as Facebook, even more have been reached. The American Widow Project has been around about two years. Taryn does the project full-time, and donations help pay for the activities. “Our goal is to help people through tough times,” she said from her home near Austin, Texas. The group holds retreats and fun outings throughout the country. This weekend they’ll be in Gatlinburg, where they have rented a cabin. The events are held to around 15 people, most of them new to the organization. “We don’t want it to be overwhelming to people,” she said. “I want everyone to remember the names of everybody they meet.” The widows attended for free. The organization pays for the cabin, meals and admission to destinations. Over the last several months they spent time on a zipline in Texas, surfed in California and did some skydiving with the Golden Knights in Washington. They’ll play board games, cook some meals and talk. Taryn Davis has come a long way since May 2007. She is happier now. She remains single and isn’t dating, but she has moved on with her life. “I have moved past any anger and the what-ifs. I have moved into a life where I can sustain the title of military widow. Life can be good, because of what Michael taught me when he was alive and because of what I have learned through my fellow widows. Michael will always be there. He’ll never disappear.” How far as she come? Earlier this year she was asked to speak at a major insurance company’s convention, before 14,000 people. She organized the American Widow Project and counsels other widows. She no longer lives in the house she and Michael shared when he died, but she isn’t that far away, and her sister and her husband has moved into that house in San Marcos. The Military Widow Organization is not political. For the members, the loss of a loved one and spouse is enough to overcome. Two years ago Taryn Davis watched the helicopter bring her husband’s body back to Texas. Today she runs a volunteer organization that help people in her situation. It’s nice they chose Gatlinburg for one of their meetings. And it’s terrific to see them finding their way again.

Editorial

Give us more

Everybody seems to agree: Our national parks need more funding It should have come as no surprise that a panel which has spent months studying the national parks should recommend spending millions more on them. The independent panel, cochaired by Tennessee’s Howard Baker, made its report known Thursday, timing its release for the Ken Burns documentary on the national parks which begins tonight on PBS. The committee recommends spending $700 million more over the next seven years on the national parks, with the focus on tourism and preservation. Hard to argue against that. Of course a panel that suggests less spending on the cause it’s looking into would be even bigger news, but in fact our national parks are in trouble. Years — decades — of neglect, mass visitation, deferred maintenance and the natural deterioration of the landscape have made the parks vulnerable to decay and problems.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited one of all, suffers because it cannot charge admission. With more than nine million visitors a year, how nice it would be to assess a nominal fee to see the majesty of the mountains, streams, valleys, old-growth forests, wildlife and trails. That’s not going to happen, so the Smokies must depend upon the kindness of strangers — chiefly the members of Congress who decide the budget of the National Park Service and Department of Interior. The 75th anniversary of the park this year did focus some attention on both the beauty and needs of the Smokies, but the celebration is about over. Millions in stimulus money are being spent on needed maintenance on both the Tennessee and North Carolina sides of the park, but a lot more is needed. Of course, every other national park

has needs too, and each has a constituency and measure of influence to fight for those needs. The Ken Burns documentary may do more to help the national park system than any lobbying or photo spread or independent panel ever could. The 12-hour, six-part series in what surely will be breathtaking high definition will spread its attention among the parks, but the Smokies will get their due. Burns has a love affair with our parks, thanks to his involvement in the documentary, and he is sure to spotlight not just their wonder but their deterioration. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said President Obama has asked for $100 million more in park spending next year, which is what the panel is asking for too. If the president is successful, he’ll have done as much for our park lands as any president since Teddy Roosevelt.

Political view

Public forum County government should approve FEMA insurance

water was up to the eaves of their homes. My insurance agent said Sevier County government won’t join the fema flood insurance program because of restrictions they put on. Editor: I was watching The Weather Channel and No one will write flood insurance unless you flood coverage in Atlanta. People were told by spend thousands of dollars in premiums. What is the reasoning for this? My only FEMA not to buy flood insurance and that the

guess is that builders who donate to political campaigns don’t want to have prohibitions to keep them from building homes. The next election I will vote for anyone that’s not in office now. Richard Shoemake Sevierville

Big Orange evade upset

Cobey Hitchcock/The Mountain Press

UT junior defensive end Chris Walker intercepts Ohio QB Theo Scott and returns it seven yards for a score that gave the Vols a 21-14 lead with 7:23 remaining in the first half Saturday night in Knoxville.

Tennessee survives Ohio scare 34-23 By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer KNOXVILLE — Jonathan Crompton threw for two touchdowns as Tennessee turned to its unsteady passing game to beat Ohio 34-23 Saturday night. Crompton threw a 26-yard screen pass to Bryce Brown to give the Vols (2-2) a 31-20 lead with 2:38 in the third quarter and lobbed a 3-yard scoring strike to Brandon Warren at the end of the first. With a stable of tough running backs, the Vols relied on their strong running game in their first three games to protect the turnover-prone passing game. Against the Bobcats, they rushed for 177 yards while Crompton completed 17 of 34 passes for 222 yards. Ohio (2-2) kept Tennessee uncomfortable by taking advantage of mistakes and passing for 319 yards against a Vols defense that entered the game allowing an average 88.33 yards by air per game. Crompton threw his eighth interception of the season to Noah Keller, who returned it 10 yards

to the Tennessee 30. Theo Scott connected with LaVon Brazill on a 2-yard touchdown pass four plays later, giving the Bobcats a 14-7 lead with 7:08 in the first quarter. Chris Garrett took advantage of the Vols’ poor special teams coverage and returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. Tennessee, which entered the game ranked fifth in total defense in the FBS, held the Bobcats to only 21 yards rushing on 17 carries. The Vols were also strong on the ground on offense. Montario Hardesty ran 20 times for 140 yards and an 11-yard touchdown and now has 1,531 career yards rushing. Bryce Brown added 56 yards rushing and caught two passes for 60 yards, including a 34-yard catch on the second play of the game. Tennessee will have a tough time regrouping before facing Auburn at home next week with several Vols leaving the game because of injury.

PREP FOOTBALL

G-P is lone undefeated team in District 3-AA By COBEY HITCHCOCK Sports Writer GATLINBURG - After defeating the Unicoi County Blue Devils 35-0 Friday night, the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders remain the lone undefeated team in District 3-AA this year. Austin-East, which is the team G-P will have to finish above in order to guarantee a Highlander playoff spot, is currently 2-0 in District 3-AA play but just 1-3 outside of the conference. The Highlanders are 1-0 in District 3-AA and should improve to 2-0 after this coming Friday’s homecoming game against visit-

ing district rival Union County, but the biggest challenge of the Highlander season is rapidly approaching with a three-game district stretch against Fulton, A-E and Carter before finishing the season with Hammonds Bowl III against Pigeon Forge. The Highlanders, named the No.9 state-ranked team by the AP last week, aren’t about to get ahead of themselves, however. They refuse to look past the Union County game, even though the Patriots are currently just 1-4, 0-1 on the season. “We’re just trying to get a little better every week,” said 38thyear G-P head football coach

Benny Hammonds. “And we’re preparing for our homecoming game (this Friday), and our boys are looking forward to that. “It’s a district game, it’s got implications on the playoffs and we’ve got to win this football game (against Union County). Hopefully we’ll be ready.” On paper, there’s no doubt about it. The G-P defense - the selfdescribed bright spot of the Highlander team so far this season - is allowing just 8.2 points per game, including a tripleovertime affair against the thenNo.8-ranked scoring offense in the state in the Gibbs Eagles.

The Union County offense managed 39 points in its lone win against a weak Grainger team this season, but the Patriots have scored just six points in its other four contests combined. The Highlander offense has been steadily improving as the season progresses, averaging 26.4 points per game. Take away the first game of the season a 7-6 G-P win over Oneida and the Blue-and-Gold offense is hanging 32.2 points on the board every game.

Tigers stop pesky Bulldogs for 30-26 win

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — South Florida fans didn’t want to leave. Not even after more than three hours of sitting in 90-degree weather. Most of the more than 12,000 sun-drenched, greenclad boosters remained in their end zone seats chanting “USF, USF,� for some 20 minutes after the Bulls defeated Florida State 17-7 Saturday. It was the first meeting between the schools and came in front of Florida State’s biggest home crowd in four years. The USF team stormed to the south end zone to salute their fans as the final seconds ticked off the clock. USF President Judy Genschaft, also in green, was leaving her air-conditioned skybox looking for the quickest way to the Bulls locker room. “Do you believe it?� she said happily as she hurried to an elevator. “You have to beat them to get talked about,� South Florida coach Jim Leavitt said. It was USF’s first win over the state’s big three — Miami, Florida and Florida State.

Mississippi State quaterback Tyson Lee, top left, follows a block by teammate Quentin Saulsberry (55) as he tries to score on a last minute fourth quarter quarterback sneak against LSU during their NCAA college football game in Starkville, Miss., on Saturday. LSU safety Chad Jones (3) prevents the touchdown preserving their 30-26 win. opened the game listlessly on offense and had nearly as many penalties in the first half (6) as rushing yards (7). Mississippi State helped keep LSU in the game, though, with four turnovers in the first two quarters that led to 10 points. The Bulldogs responded quickly after Peterson’s touchdown return and a missed extra point with a long drive and Dixon’s first score, a 2-yard run out of the wishbone. LaFell shook his defender for a 5-yard touchdown catch on the next series before Dixon’s second short scoring run put the Bulldogs ahead again. Josh Jasper’s 22-yard field goal gave the Tigers a 16-14 halftime lead, and LaFell and Jefferson wasted no time adding to it. After LSU forced

Mississippi State to a three and out on its first series, LaFell shook his defender deep and Jefferson hit him in stride for an easy score. Lee answered with a 50-yard scoring pass to cut it to 23-21 midway through the third quarter. After the Bulldogs’ next drive stalled shy of midfield, coach Dan Mullen called a timeout to discuss punt coverage. It appeared Heath Hutchens tried to kick away from Jones, but he ran to his left to field the ball and Mississippi State’s coverage unit overcompensated. Jones broke two tackles around his own 10, cut across midfield, tripped on his own blocker around the 50, but managed to slip past Hutchens and stay upright the rest of the way.

The Bulldogs got the ball back at midfield with 3:53 left. Dixon’s 18-yard run put them at the 2 with more than a minute to go. LSU’s front seven stuffed Dixon twice out of the wishbone, then forced an incomplete pass on third down. Lee took the snap on fourth down from less than a yard out. He took a drop step to fake a handoff, then turned back to the line of scrimmage, where he was met by the Tigers for no gain.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES

Former Seymour kicker Lopez boots game-winner for C-N JEFFERSON CITY — After making just 1-of-4 field goal attempts all of last season, sophomore kicker Carlos Lopez (Seymour, Tenn.) displayed his much improved accuracy on Saturday by nailing all three of his field goal attempts against Newberry, with the last proving to be the most important. Lopez drilled a 35-yarder in heavy rain with 37 seconds left in the fourth quarter to lift the CarsonNewman football team to a 23-20 victory over the scarlet and gray in the South Atlantic Conference opener for both teams at BurkeTarr Stadium. With the win, C-N improves to 3-2 on the year and 1-0 in the SAC. Newberry falls to 2-2 and 0-1 in conference play. “(The win) was some-

Carlos Lopez

thing to really be proud of,” C-N head coach Ken Sparks said. “We refused to let the old lady (momentum) take over our minds.” Lopez, who also connected from 23 and 27 yards out, was the first Eagle kicker to produce a game-winning field goal since Angel

Gonzalez accomplished the feat in a 24-21 win over Presbyterian in 2003. “(The kicking game) was phenomenal,” Sparks said. “It was the difference in the game.” With heavy rain in the area for the entire game, both teams had trouble holding onto the ball as they fumble 16 times. Newberry lost five fumbles on the day, while C-N had four lost fumbles. The teams turned six of the turnovers into 33 of the game’s 43 points. Junior safety Mario Russell (Columbus, Ohio) had a career day in the Eagles defensive backfield. Russell tied the NCAA Division II record for forced fumbles in a game with four. He also had a team-high eight tackles and five pass breakups. “It’s been since maybe the

days of Chuck Proffitt that I saw hits from a safety that I saw today from (Russell),” Sparks said. “It was very, very impressive.” The Eagles dominated the line of scrimmage as they amassed 356 yards on the ground. It was the fourth straight game C-N rushed for 300 yards or more. Senior quarterback Alex Good (Greensboro, N.C.) led the way with 203 yards and a score on 25 carries. C-N outgained Newberry 367-355 in total offense. Newberry did most of its damage through the air behind the arm of quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.). The senior signal caller completed 14-of-33 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 21 yards and a score. Lopez gave the Eagles

a 3-0 lead by nailing a 23-yarder at the 14:55 mark of the second quarter, and C-N regained possession less than a minute later on Newberry’s first fumble of the game. The Eagles took advantage of the miscue, as Buck Wakefield (Drummonds, Tenn.) capped a 3-play, 33-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run. Lopez’s extra point gave C-N a 10-0 lead. Another Newberry fumble inside its own 35-yard line led to a C-N touchdown with 6:59 left in the half. Good found the end zone from six yards out to give the Eagles a 17-0 cushion, but the scarlet and gray began to battle back as the half came to a close. After a C-N fumble gave Newberry the ball at its own 30-yard line, the scarlet and

gray needed just three plays to score from there. Gantt connected with Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) for a 56-yard touchdown pass with 2:11 remaining to trim C-N’s lead to 17-7 heading into the locker room. Tindal had four receptions for 103 yards on the day. Newberry opened the second half with even more success through the air. A 23-yard pass from Gantt to Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) gave the scarlet and gray the ball at the C-N 38. From there, Gantt hooked up with Bostick for a 38-yard scoring strike to cut the Eagles’ lead to 17-14 with 11:08 remaining in the third stanza. The Eagles return to the gridiron next Saturday in a SAC matchup at Mars Hill. Kickoff is schedule for 1:30 p.m. in Mars Hill, N.C.

Clint Bowyer wins Nationwide race at Dover International By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Denny Hamlin’s day appeared over. His No. 20 Toyota was in the garage after Brad Keselowski spun him into the wall late in the Nationwide Series race. Not so fast. An angry Hamlin returned to pit road at the end of the Nationwide Series race and welcomed Keselowski with a forceful shove and a heated exchange. Keselowski’s public relations rep shoved Hamlin, and crews for both drivers quickly got involved in the brief skirmish.

HIGHLANDERS 3From Page A8

efficient and effective numbers each week, even though it seems as if G-P has yet to play a game in dry conditions this season. Marshall and senior WR Colin Meier are developing some chemistry as of late, with the pair combining for 75 yards and three scores on three pass plays against Unicoi County. The Highlanders also have several other receivers and running backs capable of turning in big plays, led by junior RB Dillon Reagan, who picked up another 126 yards rushing and two TDs on 16 attempts against the Blue Devils.

Oblivious to the postrace melee, Clint Bowyer celebrated his second victory of the season Saturday on the concrete at Dover International Speedway. “Clint’s just a master on these concrete tracks,” owner Richard Childress said. Everyone wanted to know after the race what went down between Hamlin and Keselowski. The brief, but heated, confrontation was sparked with 11 laps left in the 200lap race when Hamlin was tapped from behind by Keselowski’s No. 88 and spun sideways into the wall. Keselowski, who finished

third, was trying to pass Hamlin on the inside. “I was just there. I was underneath him,” Keselowski said. “Earlier in the day when he got underneath me in the same scenario I gave him room. I paid him a favor and I expected the same favor to be returned. He didn’t. I held my ground.” Hamlin, a Chase driver in the Cup series, didn’t see it that way. “I wanted to talk to him,” Hamlin said. “He obviously needs some sort of guidance on what he needs to do to make it. He’s got a ton of talent, I am not going to take that away from him, he’s a

good driver. If he can harness it, he’ll win a lot more races.” Tony Eury Jr., the son of Keselowski’s crew chief, ended it after he intervened and had a brief chat with Hamlin. It took the attention away from Bowyer’s win. He took the lead with 83 laps left and won in only his ninth Nationwide race of the season. Bowyer won the series championship last season, but scaled back his schedule this year. “Dover is one of my best racetracks so it’s probably fitting I was able to get in this car and race this race,” he said. Mike Bliss was second.

Busch, who failed to make the Chase in the Cup series, kept his overall lead in the points standings. He also became the second driver in the second-tier series to ever lead 2,000 laps in a season. He led 109 laps at Dover. Busch dominated the first 100 laps despite communication issues with his crew. He could hear instruction Chapter 7 •

over the radio, but no one could hear what Busch was saying. He refused to blame the radio woes for his finish. “I think it was just a set of mismatched tires, unfortunately there,” he said. “The tires just threw us for a loop. Unfortunately, we didn’t adjust right to what we had with the tires.”

Odds and ends about football and health care Well, it’s time to give a piece of my mind. A few, actually. When I first started writing columns at another paper, I promised myself I wouldn’t do the “talking points”/rambling over several topics sort of column. I’ve kept that promise through eight years of onand-off column writing. But today — today I just can’t pick a single topic. I’ve got a long weekend coming up, and lots of things to do. Which is one of the things on my mind. And lots of little topics that won’t make a column on their own but combined, they might even be fun for other people to read. So here goes: Why do Tennessee fans like Lane Kiffin? He lost by 10 to Vol nemesis Florida, the No. 1 team in the land ... and somehow has made it feel like a win for the Vols and, more importantly, a loss for the Gators. Has anyone ever seen the coach of a top-ranked team make so many excuses and apologies for a win over a rival? That’s beautiful. It’s also good to see Tennessee legend Johnny Majors back in the fold with the Vols, something that obviously wasn’t going to happen while Phil Fulmer was the head coach. I’ve never bought Majors’ argument that Fulmer cost him the head coaching job, but I’ve always wanted to see Majors reconciled to his alma mater and mine. I’m glad that happened. Speaking of football, I have finally tried fantasy football. It makes watching the NFL that much more fun, because now I’ve got a personal interest in seeing a whole bunch of players do well. Monday night, I was jumping along with every play by Jason Witten. I needed every yard from his careerrecord game to get over my opposition (Curt Habraken, our photographer). Finished half a point over him. Granted, the yardage apparently was amended so the half-point victory turned into a half-point loss later in the week. But still, anything that makes football even more entertaining for me is like making sugar sweeter. Moving on, I’m really tired of hearing about the health care debate — mostly because I’m not seeing much debating going on. There are problems with the system. Surely both sides can agree on that. Sit down, stop pointing out the flaws in each other’s plans, find common ground and move forward. Last week I heard Jim Haslam, founder of Pilot Oil, saying that the best way to lead is essentially to get out of the way and not worry who gets the credit. It seems like all sides of the health care debate are more interested in credit or blame than in coming up with a solution that works. Unless we’re going to let hospitals stop treating patients who can’t afford care and don’t have insurance, and hospitals go along with it, the only real question is how we’re going to see to it that the care is paid for. Everything else is window dressing. Since I don’t believe this country would make the first decision, and I don’t believe hospitals would accept it, it seems like we as a people need to figure out how we want to handle that cost. And you can’t do that while looking to make sure you get all the credit if it works and the other guy gets all the blame if it fails. Lastly, there is one industry that certainly owes President Barack Obama a big thank you for the stimulus he’s provided. I don’t know if ammo manufacturers were being hit by the recession, but since he took office there has been a shortage of bullets in this country. The ammo companies are working overtime, adding shifts, and still just can’t make ’em fast enough. And that’s without Obama really so much as looking at gun control legislation so far. So, if by some odd chance he’s reading this column, I’d like to offer a suggestion on an appointment to really help the American car manufacturers: Ralph Nader. — Jeff Farrell is a reporter for The Mountain Press.

P u bl i c p u lp i t

It is only in Jesus Christ that we can ever find peace By ALTA RAPER What a wonderful week we have had. How I love my life and ministry in the mountains. We celebrated Heritage Day in Pittman Center and rejoiced in our mountain heritage. The Men’s Ensemble of Burnett Memorial under the direction of Boyd Kittle really shined. I love everything about the mountains and the people that make up our lovely town. Except for the gnats. I’ve said it a gazillion times before: I can’t stand gnats. They are everywhere this year. They absolutely bug me to death. I do believe this is the worst year I have ever seen for those little flying monsters. They invade my space and get in my face everywhere I go. Used to be only outdoors, but now they have started showing up in my kitchen. The flower bed down by the church sign was in need of some weeding one day. So, after my shower, shampoo, and hairdo (complete with hairspray) I decided I would pull some weeds.

After about five minutes the gnats called out to each other, “Here she is. Attack!” And, that is exactly what they did. They flew in my eyes, my nose and my mouth. My nose started itching, then it started running, and when I sniffed, I sniffed one of those ornery things up my nose. I took off up the hill toward the house where I blew my nose like a foghorn and took another shower just to get rid of the itching, sniffling and cringing. As I ponder on that experience, I truly believe Satan and gnats are a lot alike. Constantly bugging us. So I have come to some conclusions. First, concerning gnats: I might have to learn to live without hairspray (is it possible?) since that is one reason I am told the gnats adore me. Second, also concerning gnats, we need to promulgate the importation, breeding, and nurturing of those little birds called “gnatcatchers.” They are little birds with bluish-gray and white feathers, a long tail and small slender bill. That should take care of the gnats and make for

Words of Life

some very happy, well-fed birds. Now, to keep that red-suited, long-tailed, forked-tongue and horned-demon called Satan from bugging us every day of our lives, we need to put on the whole armor of God, leave off the hairspray (the things of the world), and strip him of his guise of making things seem right and good, just because they feel that way. It is only in Jesus Christ that we will ever find the peace that passes understanding. “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground ... Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-15 (NIV) — Alta Raper is pastor of Pittman Center Circuit of the United Methodist Church: Burnett Memorial UMC in Pittman Center, Webb’s Creek UMC just off 321 in Gatlinburg, and Shults Grove UMC in Cosby.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A lunch prayer given by an athletic director and requested by the school’s principal didn’t violate a federal court order against praying at school events, a judge has ruled. The two men had faced up to six months in jail and $5,000 in fines for violating a 2008 settlement agreement of a law-

Store stirs worry over wall crucifix

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A downtown St. Louis grocery store has stirred up concern after installing a crucifix on a wall behind the customer service counter. Culinaria manager Tom Collora, who put up the crucifix in view of the new store’s checkout registers, said he has worked for the grocery chain for 40 years and has displayed a crucifix at two other Schnucks stores without complaints. But now some customers are angry about the display. Lori Weinstock, 40, who is Jewish, said the crucifix startled her enough to write a letter to the Jewish Light newspaper.

Diners select from among dishes offered at one of the buffet stations.

For more information call Scott Thompson at 566-7577 or e-mail to Scottit@earthlink.net.

party of five were also enjoying the meal. She learned about the culinary department’s special events through her son, who is a student in the music department. The two departments sometimes work together to put on musical dinner theater. Campbell said what impresses her about events like the seafood harvest is “the quality and how much the people who are doing it seem to enjoy themselves.� The next musical dinner theater event is “Rock On� planned for Oct. 15. It will also be hosted by the grand manger buffet class, with tickets costing $35. Stacy Combes of east Knoxville brought her neighbor, Barbara

Kitts, to Thursday’s seafood harvest. Combes’ son, Dustin Cochran, is a student in the culinary school and was staffing one of the buffet stations. Combes, who runs a homeoperated catering business, said she’s learned a few things from her son since he started taking classes, including how to use seasonings and spices. She’s even borrowed a few of their ideas. From the department’s April Fool’s dinner, Combes said she re-created a hamburgerthemed dessert that formed sweet treats into the shape of the popular sandwich. For the students, the special events are ways to learn and improve their skills. Lanna Talley and Mari Bland were staffing one of the cold stations that included raw oysters. They shucked about 12

dozen. “We’ve never shucked oysters before,� Bland said. Talley said others in the class were practicing shucking oysters one day when she and her classmate decided to try it. “We just really wanted to do it,� Talley said. “We said, ‘Hey, let us try.� They did and were given the job for the night. In their third semester at the college, both women say they enjoy the culinary arts curriculum and their instructors. Both said they love the affordability of the college as compared to other culinary schools. “And our teachers, we get along so well with them,� Talley said. “We respect them as teachers, but they’re great friends as well.� n gcrutchfield@themountainpress.com

Sunday, September 27, 2009 ◆ The Mountain Press

A colorful season’s greetings Well, this past week I was looking down into the holler toward Webb’s Creek thinking about a special tree that has exploding seed pods and blooms flowers after all of its leaves fall off. It is my favorite autumn tree of the 135 different species that blanket the Great Smoky Mountains. Yellowstone National Park does have a reliable geyser, but only a measly 30 different species of trees. Folks in the Rockies have a gold and green fall, enjoying the shimmering golden aspen leaves and millions of green pine trees. Each place on earth has its own special beauty, but the autumn glow in the Smokies is unmatched anywhere on the planet. Each leaf adds its own unique color to the palette as the shorter days, wind, sun, rain and cool fall temperatures team up to paint a masterpiece that is truly beyond description. Fall colors are just another special way we offer season’s greetings to our millions of visitors. If you are really smart and can spell chlorophyll backwards, skip the next two paragraphs. If you are slightly above average or worse (like me), get ready for some learnin.’ Hang on, here we go. Leaves are filled with a chemical called chlorophyll that makes them green. It is the same reason that turnip greens, lettuce and other leafy plants are green. Same deal. Chlorophyll uses sunlight, water and other stuff to help make sugar to feed the trees. As it makes the sugar it releases oxygen as a byproduct. In fact, most of the oxygen you and I are breathing right now came from tree leaves. Hiding inside each green leaf are other chemicals that are just waiting to show their true colors. It is the very same yellow and orange stuff that makes carrots orange and the very same red and purple stuff that makes radishes and roses many shades of red. The color ingredients are there all summer long, just waiting inside the leaves for the green chlorophyll to take a break. When days get shorter, trees figure it is time to rest, and the green chlorophyll

food factory gradually shuts down. It’s not easy being green. When the sugar factory closes up shop, all of those other chemicals show their true colors. Fall colors were hiding behind the green all summer long. Is that the coolest thing since warm corn pudding, or what? My favorite autumn tree, the witch hazel, waits until its leaves fall off and then blooms an exotic yellow spidery flower around Halloween time. Its seed pods actually explode and shoot out about 20 feet. That is why you will almost always see clumps of witch hazel trees growing about 20 feet apart from each other. Indians and pioneers used the oil from the tree to heal all kinds of ailments, and you can still buy witch hazel ointment at the drug store. A tiny bug builds little “houses” on the leaves of the tree that are shaped like tiny pointed witch’s hats. Many other trees just stand in the forest and grow. Witch hazel trees are the life of the forest. They’ve always got something awesome going on. Party on, witch hazel trees. Well, the daylight hours are getting shorter and the leafy green food factories are shutting down. Those hidden colors will once again glisten against the blue autumn sky. Later, the bare trees will live off the food that has been stored until next spring when the leaf factory starts up all over again. For thousands of years, give or take, human beings slowed down as the days got shorter and, like many animals and plants, they saved food to survive the harsh winters. Our ancestors, like trees, once measured time by seasons and early settlers

Settlement school topic of new novel From Submitted Reports On June 28, 1910, the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women proposed at its national convention to establish a settlement school in the hamlet of Gatlinburg. Local author Loletta Clouse has written “Rainbow by Moonlight,” a novel about a young woman who comes to teach at the settlement school in Gatlinburg in 1920. Claire Blackburn comes from a life of privilege to the Great Smoky Mountains and the isolated village of Gatlinburg. She meets Shade Morgan, a true man of the mountains and not someone Claire would consider as a potential suitor. She is challenged to confront her own prejudices about “mountain people.” Claire comes to the mountains longing to be an artist and to live independently. She signs up to teach at the settlement school. As her love of the mountains and the people grows, she feels herself growing more sheltered and safe in the mountains than she has ever felt. Based on the author’s research, “Rainbow by Moonlight” challenges many of the stereotypes of mountain people while it celebrates the beauty of the mountains. Clouse is the author of four historical fiction books set in Tennessee. “Wilder” and “The Homesteads” were based on family stories of actual events in Tennessee history. This is her second novel set in the Smoky Mountains. “Mallie” was a novel set in the era of the logging boom. “Rainbow by Moonlight” is available at Carpe Librum Booksellers, Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center in Townsend, Hastings Books in Maryville or through www.chicorybooks.com.

Personal happiness comes from within Have you ever been lonely? People describe loneliness as emptiness and void deep inside. They go to great lengths to avoid being lonely. Often people make decisions regarding their relationships based on avoiding loneliness. I sometimes ask people to embrace the feeling. They look at me as though I’m crazy, but this is the time when a person can truly define their needs and desires in a relationship. I’ve said before that living in the now or present offers many benefits. If you are lonely, study the desires that rise in you during this time. What type of relationship do you want or miss? Don’t rush into relationships even friendships that can be draining or detrimental to you. I counsel couples that share the same roof yet speak of lonely dark nights. Being with human beings does not equal companionship. By the same token, being alone does not necessarily equal loneliness. I encourage alone time for most every individual I counsel. This is a part of figuring out the whys to some of your behaviors. Do you know someone that moves from relationship to relationship? Most likely this person is searching. They are hoping to find that person that makes them happy. The truth is, people can’t make you happy. They can bring you joy, but happiness comes from within. Take time and think about happy moments that you have shared with someone. What were the elements that were so satisfying? What was going on in your life that you were able to find contentment in that relationship? People often mistake sexual activity for intimacy. I’ve sat with them as they confess to the ultimate loneliness of physical relationships without the companionship or emotional connection they desire. The consequences of this are many and not any of them good for you. There are unwanted pregnancies that lead to unwanted marriages that lead to unwanted divorces. There is a plethora of disease to the body as well as to emotional health. The common result of this type relationship is heartache. So what does one do about that empty nagging hole in your being called loneliness? My first response is to ask you to

wait and not try to make something happen. Don’t begin looking out toward possible companions but rather inside to who you are. Notice patterns in your life, or even in your families. What do you need to do differently this time? Do you always jump into the first relationship that develops? Do you move too quickly in the relationship? Is it always the same type of individual that captures your heart? Do you always find them at the same places? Is this type person healthy in themselves? I know that we can’t require our possible dates to submit to personality testing, but we can surely take time to consider the person and his or her qualities or styles. People are so afraid of being “judgmental” these days that they often do not even consider another’s past or even current lifestyle.
