in hundreds of communities on these types of projects and they are not tied to any one manufacturer. They will do as little or as much as we want them to and will work from the beginning all the way to final testing of the system,” Cumber-

THP to hold checkpoint
The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting a driver’s license roadside safety checkpoint in Cumberland County Oct. 31 on U.S. 70 E at Browntown Rd. from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. The Tennessee Highway Patrol recognizes the danger presented to the public by unqualified drivers.

Student who missed class for project learns lesson about rules By Michael R. Moser
BOE upholds decision on unexcused absence
Chronicle editor
The reason a Cumberland County High School student missed half a day last month was commendable, but not excuseable. That was the decision of school administrators and was upheld by members of the school board during an attendance
hearing last week. enough to overcome the failure The issue left members of to follow school board policy the board of education uneasy concerning absence from school. with the decision that was made, It was an odd hearing in that with the majority in sympathy See LESSON page 3A of the student’s plight.

Crossville’s city finances are in very good shape with an impressive bond rating, recently reported record sales tax collections and the most recent fiscal year ending in a surplus. The highest sales tax revenue in a threemonth period was reported by Crossville City Manager David Rutherford at the October city council meeting and the city recently received the report on their current bond rating issued by Standard and Poor’s rating service. Sales tax is one of the main revenue sources for the city’s general fund operation. Also, the city manager has released the annual financial report on city finances for the 2013-’14 fiscal year that, while originally a deficit of $282,500 was budgeted, the actual amount of revenue over expenses for the fiscal year was in the black by $193,000. The turnaround during the fiscal year from a deficit to a surplus totaled $475,500. In addition, the water and sewer fund is showing over $1 million in revenues over expenses. The unusual surplus is due in part to a change in the way the city counts water and sewer department depreciation, reducing the cost of depreciation by about 50 percent. The city’s bond rating is currently ranked at AA- according to the report issued in September 2014. The double A rating is the second highest rating issued by S & P and is considered “very strong capacity to meet financial commitments.” The ranking is based on a number of factors that are spelled out in the report and even though the city is currently in a weak economy, the excellent management and financial status of the operation were praised by the analysts. The report describes Crossville’s local economy as weak with a projected per capita effective buying income at 69 percent of the national average. Crossville has retiree and tourism jobs as well as health care, manufacturing and light industry. The report expects modest economic growth for the city. “Crossville’s management conditions are strong with good practices under our financial management management assessment methodology,” reads the report. It goes on to say, “The city follows state investments guidelines and has a fairly comprehensive debt management plan. It uses conservative budgetary assumptions, which are especially important given the significance of local option sales tax revenues to the general fund.” See REPORTS page 7A
County jobless rate drops one percent Cumberland County’s jobless rate dropped from 8.5 percent in August to 7.5 percent in September, the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development reported. State-wide preliminary unemployment rate for September was 7.3 percent, down from 7.4 per-
cent from the August revised rate. The U.S. rate for September was 5.9 percent, down from 6.1 percent in August. Cumberland County’s rate of 7.5 percent jobless means that, of the county’s 22,950-person labor See JOBLESS page 3A

Cecil McFarland
Dec. 25, 1930—Oct. 15, 2014 Cecil Lloyd McFarland, born Dec. 25, 1930, entered into eternal life Oct. 15, 2014, while under the loving care of McKendree Village and Alive Hospice. Known as Reverend Mac by his church family, Mr. Mac by his students and just Mac by all who crossed his path, he was blessed by God with many gifts. Reverend Mac used all of those gifts to the best of his ability to witness with compassion and understanding to glorify God. Mac loved and cherished the life and memory of his parents, John Marshall and Sephie Edmonds McFarland. He grew up in Clinton, TN, where he graduated from high school. One of 11 siblings, his brother, Ralph, and sisters, Reba Owens and Reva Walker still survive. Reverend Mac was married to the former Ann Marie Karashay of Saugerties, NY. She has been his devoted wife and caregiver for the past 45 years. Although Mac required a great deal of care during his extended illness, he always maintained a positive attitude throughout his life. Following high school, Mac enlisted in the United States Air Force and, after his service, he entered Carson Newman College. After graduation, he attended Drew University where he graduated with a Masters of Divinity. He was ordained by the Methodist Church and was commissioned as a chaplain in the United States Air Force. Following his chaplaincy, he pas-

• Continued from 1A the student involved is by all reports a good student. He missed school on Sept. 19 because he was teaching a class at a local private school for part of the day, and was keeping a doctor’s appointment for the other half of the day. The doctor’s appointment absence was requested in advance and the absence was excused by CCHS Principal John Hall. No advance request was made for the half day spent at the private school. The student was teaching students at the private school on how to on how to plan a community project and how to raise funds for such projects. The student is presently involved in a community project that should soon be completed and featured in the Chronicle. The student knew in advance he was going to miss classes and had asked teachers for assignments and classwork in advance, all of which he said he completed. Board policy requires requests for unexcused absences be made in writing ten days in advance, which was not done. The request to excuse the absence was denied by the principal and when appealed to Director of Schools Donald Andrews, the denial was upheld. This led to the student’s mother requesting the attendance hearing that was held Thursday. School board members were told by the mother that the teaching project was also something that
tored churches for 38 years in both Tennessee and New York State. Mac retired from pastoring in 2005 after serving 14 years as pastor of the First Congregational Church in Crossville. He also taught learning disabled students for 23 years for Northern Weschester (BOCES) in Briarcliff Manor, NY. He was considered to be a very successful teacher. He contributed greatly to the developing field of special education and retired from teaching in 1991. Mac also taught sociology at Ulster County Community College in Stone Ridge, NY. McFarland’s sense of duty and love for his country translated into his public service and leadership responsibilities. He was elected to the board of education for the Saugerties Central School District. He also served on the Ulster County Board of Cooperative Educational Services. In addition, he was also past county commander of the American Legion in Ulster County, NY. He served several years on the staff of the New York State American Legion Boy’s State Program. While serving the First Congregational Church in Saugerties, NY, he was president of the Saugerties Area Council of Churches. Mac was inducted as a lifetime member of the Saugerties Exempts Volunteer Fire Department and also served as the chaplain for the Volunteer Fire Department. He was an active member of AARP and was a trainer on the AARP statewide training team for the state of Tennessee. His leadership and volunteer efforts have been recognized by the Fair Park Senior Center, Crossville, where he was honored with the Cumberland County Senior Citizen of the Year in 1999. He was a member
and past president of the Lake Tansi Exchange Club, Crossville, TN. He and his wife, Ann Marie, were honored with the Book of Golden Deeds award and reception given by the Crossville and Lake Tansi Exchange Club in 2001. Reverend McFarland served on the board of directors of the Exchange Club Stephens Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse in Livingston, TN. He also served as hospice volunteer chaplain from 1996-2000 for Hospice of Cumberland County where his wife was the executive director. God blessed Mac with five children, four with Barbara Ann Tobey, Falmouth, MA, including Marjorie (Bill) VanErmen of Concord, NH, Larry (Sue) McFarland of Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Leanne (Mike) Schmidt of Falmouth, MA, and Wayne (Kim) McFarland of Harvard, MA, and one child with Ann Marie, a son, John (Amber) McFarland Sr. of Goodlettsville, TN. There are 14 surviving grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. “Our heartfelt thanks to all those who took such tender loving care of our loved one. These difficult times were made bearable because of your compassion.” Reverend McFarland was a member of the Hermitage United Methodist Church and attended chapel services while at McKendree Village. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts of time or financial contributions be made to Alive Hospice, 1718 Patterson St., Nashville, TN 37203 or the Golden Cross Fund c/o McKendree Village, 4347 Lebanon Rd., Hermitage, TN 37076. A memorial service will be held Sunday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m. at the chapel at McKendree. Visitation with the
could be considered for 4-H Club credit and for another school club activity. She said she was unaware that the ten-day notice was required to obtain an excused absence. “There is no doubt he was doing a good thing ... keep doing it,” BOE member Jim Blalock told the student. “But, you have to go by the rules.” Blalock then made the motion — seconded by Richard Janeway — that the appeal be denied and board attendance policy be upheld, which passed on a 5-4 vote. Joining Blalock and Janeway in the vote were Don Hassler, Dan Schlafer and Josh Stone. David Bowman, Jeff Freitag, Vivian Hutson and Shirley Parris voted against the motion.

Letters to the Editor Columnists ignore ‘communal socialism’ Dear Chronicle: Sometimes I think the column “Stumptalk” should be entitled “Stumpwater.” All you old hillbillies know what that means. Today they are advocating that Americans, although I think they mean white folk, have more babies whether they want them or not and whether or not they can take care of them. Too many babies are already born into circumstances where they are not wanted or loved. But what really baffles me is when the “Stumptalkers” babble on about socialism as if they know something about it that the rest of us don’t. The problem is that they are wrong about socialism. Part of that comes from their failure to distinguish between the two distinct types of socialism. More about that later. In regard to State Socialism, which is what they apparently mean when they say “socialism,” it is not yet proven that all of it is a failure. We have yet to hear fully from China which is certainly a socialist state. And its economy is growing at several times the rate of the United States. Even Cuba after 55 years of socialist rule (and U.S. embargo) is no worse off than many of its “democratic,” or at least capitalistic, neighbors in South and Central America and is demonstrably better off than it was under Batista. I too believe that all State Socialism has generally failed and will eventually fail everywhere because it has demonstrated an inability to avoid power vacuums that are inevitably filled by dictators. And I believe that democracy (though not necessarily capitalism) is the will of God and will prevail in the end – in spite of all the Tiananmen Squares and other assaults on liberty perpetrated by dictatorships. Just watch what is happening in Hong Kong today. I just do not believe that the final word has been spoken in regard to State Socialism. Someone may yet come up with a form of State Socialism that works. In Europe they vote socialist governments in and out. Anyone who says that the United States is socialist clearly does not know what socialism is. State Socialism means State or National ownership of the “means of production.” That means the government owns the most crucial and productive companies, banks, and other economic enterprises. In the United States, none of these are owned permanently by the Federal or State governments. The auto companies were owned for a time but now have been returned to the stockholders. Certain entities are regulated, thus controlled to some degree, by the government. But regulation is not ownership. Moreover, the “Stumptalkers” totally ignore the other type of socialism. That is Communal Socialism. It would come as a great shock to the 483 Hutterite Brethren Colonies and the Bruderhof Communities, as well as to many of the Kibbutzim in Israel, to learn that all socialism is a failure. Both Hutterites and Bruderhof communities are growing world-wide. Though they do not call the way they live socialism, that is what it is. They call it being faithful to the New TestaSee SOCIALISM page 5A
Unsung heroes of the county Dear Chronicle: I have been using UCARTS as my only source of transportation since March. I am in a wheelchair and require assistance. I have never met a more caring, helpful group of people in my life. All of the drivers are fantastic. They are always ready with a smile or listening ear and a helping hand. They do their job without fuss and many times without thanks. UCARTS provides a needed service and does it wonderfully. The county should be proud and thankful that we have such a great organization available the citizens of our county. Debra Dixon Dayton Ave.

A step in the right direction The deadline is nearing for high school seniors to apply for Tennessee Promise, a new program that will provide graduating seniors in the class of 2015 two years of tuition-free education at community or technical colleges in the state. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young people who are wondering how they would afford continuing their education after high school, which seems to keep rising year after year after year. Tennessee Promise is a “last dollar” scholarship program, meaning that whatever is left over after financial aid of grants and scholarships is paid by the Tennessee Promise program. Funding will come from the newly established Tennessee Promise endowment and by making changes to the HOPE lottery scholarship award. It’s one of the programs of the Drive to 55 Alliance, an initiative that seeks to equip 55 percent of Tennesseans with a college degree
Heather Mullinix
Tidbits or certificate by 2025. Currently, about 32 percent of Tennesseans have a degree or certificate, but that extra education is becoming more and more important as jobs become more high-tech. But one of the challenges most frequently cited by anyone thinking about getting post-secondary education is the cost, the burden of student loans and the uncertainty of finding a job after getting out of school to pay for those loans. College is expensive. My alma mater has just about doubled the cost of a semester since I was in school. Back then, I knew students who worked hard, full-time jobs during the summer months, saving every penny. It was hard, but it was possible, that they could earn
enough in those months to turn around and fund the next year of their education. But each summer, that cost has ticked a little higher and a little higher. This past summer, the Tennessee Board of Regents hiked tuition and fees anywhere from 3.5 percent to 8.6 percent for all its schools. The TBR oversees Tennessee community colleges, colleges of applied technology and six four-year universities. The cost of of tuition at Middle Tennessee State University has gone from $882 in 1985 to $8,188 this year. If you adjust for inflation, that $882 in 1985 equals, roughly, $2,248, far shy of the current tuition of $8,188. There’s more going on here than just things cost more now than they used to. Why is it so expensive to further your education? Public schools are raising their rates higher than private schools, but those costs are going up, too. We are being told that getting a good education will help ensure we
can take part in the American dream as adults, but the cost of admission keeps getting higher and higher and higher. It’s not easy to say “this one reason right here” is why college is so expensive. There’s a bevy of reasons, and the reasons vary depending on what kind of school it is. But, it’s a combination of lower revenues from states and increasing costs. Some have pointed to highly paid administrators and coaches and the need to pay for updated facilities. Whatever the reason, costs are out of control. Yes, we can keep depending on lottery funds to help ensure our young people have a chance to further their education. But that doesn’t actually solve the problem of out-of-control costs for higher education. If we’re throwing money at our high school seniors, does it matter that average tuition costs are 10 times higher than they were in 1985? See STEP page 5A
Major political parties vs. Tea Party A recent notice in the Chronicle announcing a meeting of the local Democratic Party reminded me of an important difference between the major political parties and the local Tea Party. Most of us know that the Tea Party claims to be non-partisan and many citizens don’t seem to believe that but don’t seem willing to determine if it is true. The notice that got my attention was publicizing a candidate forum type meeting featuring the local Democratic candidates seeking office in the upcoming November election. The local Republican Party also had a recent meeting featuring the local Republican candidates seeking election in November. Nothing unusual about that since the stated goal of both political parties is to win elections so here’s the difference between them and the Tea Party. The local Tea Party had recent meetings but featured all the local candidates for the state senate race and some other county offices that featured both Democratic and Republican candidates. The goal of the local Tea Party is to elect candidates who will return our country to the principles of our constitution, smaller federal government, lower taxes and
Jim Sykes
Stumptalk less interference with our private life. It would seem that the Tea Party claims of being non-partisan are true. Since most view the Tea Party as conservative, and thereby Republican, many local political groups, especially many of the Democrats do not attend the meetings. As a local conservative who has attended most of the local Tea Party meetings I believe that the local Tea Party is open to all views. The fact that most of the members lean to the conservative position is that conservatives favor a return to the constitutional principles of our founders. That doesn’t mean that all of the members agree with the views of all of the current Republican members of our state legislature and/or congress. Most members do not favor extremes of any point of view. Most members are sincerely trying to get the politicians in Washington and Nashville to abide by the constitutions and work together to solve the problems facing our nation. We understand that people can
disagree on the policies that are needed to solve these problems but all of us should recognize that calling each other names and criticizing the suggested solutions offered by others is counter productive. The TEA in Tea Party is an acronym for “Taxed Enough Already.” I can’t imagine that there are many Democrats, Republicans or Independents that would disagree with that statement. We will never be able to solve our problems unless we stop yelling at each other and start trying to work together. Campaigning should end when all the votes have been counted and certified and blame should start with looking in the mirror. It should not matter what you look like on the outside or what you believe, we are still all in this together whether we like it or not. Even if you don’t agree that religion, race, sex, nationality, or other differences between us should not be political matters, you probably can agree that our survival and ability to enjoy life is important. If you are not allowed to enjoy your life without interference from the local, state and federal government, then you are no longer free to determine your future. We accept the fact that all levels of government have a responsibil-
ity to protect its citizens and residents. The primary purpose of every government employee should be the protection of the rights of all of its citizens and residents not just those with whom they agree. All citizens and residents of the United States need to recognize that the local, state and federal government employees are there to serve all of the residents. Any public employee who doesn’t understand and follow that objective should be immediately removed; including those elected as representatives, including the governors and the president. The most important level of government should be the local government, the one closest to the people. We must stop allowing the courts to dictate what the laws mean. If our laws are so complicated that we cannot understand them, then we need to elect representatives who will simplify them. • • • Stumptalk is published weekly in the Crossville Chronicle.

It’s September, and Christmas décor is lining store shelves. You’d think that the seasons are determined by which week school starts, and we’d all be wise to air out our winter coats now. Amy Tavalin suggests that instead, we should stop the hands of time long enough to take in some local farmers markets this fall. “Fall has it all,” said Tavalin, “so don’t rush it.” “Don’t skip the very best time of year to visit farmers markets,” says Tavalin, farmers market specialist with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. “From now until the first hard freeze is easily the most abundant season of the year in Tennessee. We have a long growing season, so not only are all of summer’s favorites enjoying a last hurrah, but everything from fresh apples and chrysanthemums to sweet potatoes and Indian corn will be elbowing into farmers market aisles across the state.” “This has been an especially mild, productive year for Tennessee farmers, and some crops that might in other years have wilted from excessive summer
are still going strong. Fresh, local produce will be here until our first hard freeze sometime in October.” “Larger farmers markets traditionally host all sorts of rootsy, wholesome events on autumn weekends throughout the fall,” Tavalin goes on to explain. “Pumpkin painting, live music, chili cook-offs and apple themed activities can make a weekend trip to the market feel like a trip to the county fair. Visiting a farmers market is always free of charge, and lugging home a bushel of apples is smarter than throwing out your arm trying to win a stuffed poodle.” It’s easy to find local farmers markets and get information about their autumn schedules through www.picktnproducts.org and the new “Pick Tennessee” mobile app. The free app is downloadable from both the App Store for Apple products and from Google Play for Android devices and allows users to search by item, like “apples,” by region of the state, season, the farm where they’re produced, or the markets where they’re sold. The mobile app then provides directions to
the chosen location through direct GPS mapping. “Come back to your local farmers market to get all the best of the summer garden plus a first look at all the colorful crops of fall,” says Tavalin.

SOCIALISM
• Continued from 4A ment. When I contemplate the mess that the rest of the Christianity is in, compared to the peace and tranquility of the Hutterites and Bruderhof, I’m not so sure that they are not on the right track. In any case, they are attracting new adherents daily.
Fruit program accepting orders
The Inez Wrenn Fruit Program is currently accepting orders. The funds will help educate children. The following is available for November and December: navel oranges, $21 for a small box and $37 for a large box; red grapefruits, $20 for a small box and $35 for a large box; tangerines, $27 per box; and variety pack for $28. Contact one of the following to place an order: Lee, 788-1375; Linda, 484-8249; Millie, 456-1580; Penny, 456-9905; and Jerry, jerstevens@icloud.com. Orders must be in by Oct. 30.
STEP
• Continued from 4A Yes, it does. Just ensuring those high schoolers can go on to get more education won’t be enough to get the state to 55 percent with a college degree or certificate. The state has to find a way to make it possible for adults to return to school to complete degrees started years before, before life happened and choices had to be made. Helping those nontraditional students return to school is imperative, and brings it’s own tricky situations. Nontraditional students often balance a full time job and family obligations with the demands of their studies. The state has launched some programs to help with this, and the rise in online education has helped tear down some barriers. Another program is called Tennessee Reconnect. You probably haven’t heard much about this, as Tennessee Promise, with two free years of college, overshadowed the program to re-engage adults in postsecondary education. There are about 940,000 adults with some college credit or training, but they stopped short of graduation. Those who want to pur-
sue new skills through the Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology can do that. Beginning in 2015, adults will be able to attend and earn a certificate at any of the states 27 TCATs completely free of tuition and fees. That’s great. I applaud the state for realizing there are a number of folks who are older and would benefit from more training to advance their careers or even enter a new field. The driveto55.org website doesn’t have much up about this program just yet, but I look forward to learning more about it, and sharing that with readers, soon. It’s a step in the right direction. If we’re serious about increasing the skilled workforce in this state, and helping our state reach that 55 percent number, our leaders are going to have to take a long, hard look at the cost of attending postsecondary education in this state and take steps to make it truly affordable, with or without a lottery scholarship. • • • Heather Mullinix is assistant editor of the Crossville Chronicle. Her column is published on Tuesdays. She may be reached at hmullinix@crossville-chronicle. com.
Even closer to home, The Farm in Summertown, TN, founded in 1971 by Stephen Gaskin and a bunch of hippies, has been running on somewhat modified socialist principles for 43 years and shows no signs of going away. They own and farm 4000 acres communally. I do not wish to get into an argument with anyone. I am by no means an expert
on socialism. And I certainly do not mean to condone the brutality that has accompanied most State Socialism. But I will not conduct this conversation any further. I just believe that those who throw around scare words like “socialism” have a responsibility to explain what they are talking about. Michael Smathers Hwy. 127 South

Leonard A. Stark
Aug. 18, 1922—Oct. 6, 2014 Leonard A. Stark was born Aug. 18, 1922, on his family’s farm near Springsport, MI, the second of three boys. He attended a one-room school house for the first eight years, with five students in his class and 20 in the entire school. In 1940, he graduated from Springsport High School and, for the next three years, helped work the 160-acre family farm. The family’s roots were in the Evangelische Kirche (Evangelical Church), a pacifist German Christian tradition, and their home church was Salem Evangelical and Reformed (E&R) in Albion, MI, where the brothers were all baptized and confirmed. When World War II began, Leonard and his older brother, Walter, both chose to become Conscientious Objectors (C.O.s). Walter refused any cooperation with the draft and went to prison while Leonard chose to register. This allowed a farm worker deferment for their younger bother, Arnold, who stayed and helped the parents with the farm. The war effort created a serious labor shortage in the U.S. and the C.O.s performed important alternative service for their country during these years. Leonard planted trees, dug ditches, built roads, fought forest fires and worked as an attendant in two psychiatric hospitals, Friends (Quaker) Hospital and Byberry, the 6,000-bed Philadelphia State Hospital in Pennsylvania, along with some 150 other C.O.s and a women’s volunteer unit. They pulled long, grueling shifts at Byberry in the various wards, and the men they cared for were traumatized from shell-shock and/or brain-damaged from STD’s and/or substance abuse. Len and a few other C.O.s were so appalled by terrible conditions there that they secretly documented it. They sent photos and copies of records to “TIME Magazine” which, in 1946, did an exposé on the mostly deplorable treatment of the mentally ill at that time in the U.S. In contrast, Friends Hospital, which practiced little drug intervention and stressed compassionate, humane care, provided a standard which Len and many of his colleagues embraced in their lifelong concern for the care of the mentally ill. Len’s first assignment at Byberry was to work a 40-bed dysentery unit — on his own — and the last ward he worked in was a hydrotherapy unit where one of the patients attacked him and stabbed him deep in his left arm and chest with a dagger fashioned from a table knife. Penicillin absolutely saved his life. It was only the second year that penicillin had become available. In 1946, though the war had ended, the U.S. government decided to extend the draft. Len and several other C.O.’s walked out, sent their draft cards and a message to the president, vowing never to participate in the draft again. Len hitchhiked back home to Michigan that summer, worked on the farm, then as a church camp counselor in Wisconsin. By September, he had begun his first year of college at Heidelberg in Tiffin, OH. In summer of ‘47, he served as cook for seven weeks for an American Friends Service Committee International Service Seminar. He had met and begun dating Betty Thorne,
who was a student at Olivet College, and in September he transferred to Olivet. By November, he and Betty were engaged and, on March 27, 1948, during a huge blizzard, they got married in Betty’s home church, in Owosso, MI. They made their first home in a little upstairs apartment near campus and raised their first of many gardens. By the end of the summer of ’49, they finished their undergraduate studies. Len had been accepted at Eden Seminary and off they went to Webster Groves, IL, with the 1931 Ford they’d bought for $100, loaded to the gills with their modest household. After Len’s graduation in 1952, they served a small church in Caseyville, IL, helping it grow from 30 to 120 members over the next two years, with a large youth group and church school. Church growth and increased vitality characterized their influence in every parish they served, Len as pastor, yet, the two of them as a real team. Leonard and his brother, Walter, who had just recently married Dorothy Russie and graduated from Krozier Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA, were ordained in their home church, Salem E&R, in Albion, June 15, 1952, exhorted by Rev. O. Walter Wagoner, to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable!” Len and Betty then served St. Luke’s E&R in San Pierre, IN, for three years. During this time they adopted their first child, Susan Elizabeth, age six months. Leonard and Walter and their wives stayed in close contact as their young families grew. Reflecting back on those formative years of the ‘30s and ‘40s, Len said many times that he found them to be some of the most rewarding and clarifying times of his young adulthood, helping him to hone his skills to respond to his faith calling and chart a course for his life. In 1955, Len and Betty accepted the invitation by the E&R Home Mission Board to help start a mission church in Garden Grove, CA, which they did successfully do. Then, from 19571963 they served St. Paul’s Church, in Lakewood, CO. During this same time, Len served as the last president of the Rocky Mountain Synod of the E&R Church and became instrumental in the merger of the E&R and Congregational Churches to form the United Church of Christ (UCC). He was on fire with it, serving as first moderator of the Colorado Conference of the UCC, and for six years was on the National Worship Committee, helping to write the many services in the Book of Worship and helping start two new mission churches in the Denver area. In 1962, Len and Betty joyfully welcomed and adopted their son, Richard John, who was almost three years old. They wrote in their Christmas letter that year “Now our family is complete!” From 1963-1968, the Starks served St. Luke’s UCC in Burlington, IA. During this time the nation descended into greater turmoil over the war in Southeast Asia, and over the struggle for civil rights for all Americans, quickened by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was a classmate and close friend of Len’s brother, Walter, at Krozier. The challenge, as Len and Betty understood it, was to always be living with the question “What would Jesus do?” listening for the answers, for guidance and courage to live them out. Despite the difficulties of the times, at each of the churches they served, the Starks forged strong bonds of friendship which have endured over many years. From 1968-1973, the Starks served Peace UCC in Duluth, MN, helping the congregation complete its beautiful new building overlook-
ing Lake Superior and the Twin Ports, and expand its peace ministry. The Starks were avid campers and hikers, and during their annual threeweek vacations, the family enthusiastically explored the U.S. and Canada. In 1971, they traveled for eight weeks across Western Europe, staying in bedand-breakfasts, with friends and family, and with SERVAS hosts. SERVAS is a hosting and traveling organization started by Mennonites to promote world peace through international friendship. It was the beginning of Len and Betty’s international travels. Making friends wherever they went was one of their greatest delights and they were also SERVAS hosts, welcoming other world travelers into their home. That first trip also brought closer ties with relatives in Germany. In early 1973, Len was asked to come serve the Nappanee, IN, Church of the Brethren, which needed a pastor. During their two years there, Len and Betty learned more of that church’s tradition, and they also got training and certification as Association of Couples for Marriage Enrichment (ACME) facilitators, and for many years led couples’ retreats. In June 1975, they were called to serve West Elm UCC in Lima, OH. While there, Len became one of the chaplains in the county jail and active in the county-wide organization, Church People for Change and Reconciliation (CCR). In March 1978, he was asked to become its executive director, which he accepted, after resigning from West Elm. Under his leadership, CCR’s social ministries included creation of a halfway house for those coming from prison, which has continued and expanded its services with the same director Len hired in 1980; renewing a deteriorated neighborhood shopping area; and building two apartment residences for low income elderly. Len also established the second Victim/ Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) in the U.S. VORP trains volunteer mediators to facilitate alternatives to incarceration where possible. In November 1981, the Starks moved to Coopersburg, PA, to serve St. John’s UCC, which they did for six years. Granddaughters Satya and Krystal were born during this time, and there were many visits to and from New Hampshire and then Indiana. The Starks retired in August 1987, moved their belongings to Uplands Retirement Village in Pleasant Hill, TN, rented out their house, and took
off immediately to travel in Europe for 13 months. Once they returned stateside, they dove into their new life, delighting in the natural beauty, the graciousness and friendliness of local folks, and being reunited with many lifelong friends—Inglises, Brauns, Lords, Lammers, and too many more to name, and helped recruit Walter and Dorothy Stark and quite a few others to come to Uplands over the next 30-plus years. The Starks were avid patrons of the Cumberland County Playhouse and considered it one of the living treasures of the region. Len was active in the Pleasant Hill Community Church, attending Sunday school and book study groups, serving on building, peace and social justice and pastoral search committees and, for 17 years, Len and Betty were the Annuitant Visitors for the UCC retirees in Tennessee. In December 1988, friends urged Len to begin a chapter of VORP in Cumberland County, and in 1989 he and others did just that, thereby establishing the second such program in Tennessee. He and Jerry Ziegele also logged many miles together, helping to establish other such chapters in the region. In spite of a stroke he sustained in 1996, Len served as president of the Cumberland County VORP chapter for 20 years, up until August 2012, leaving it, then, in the capable hands of Rita Young, Joe Gittings and others. He remained remarkably active, both physically and mentally, and participated cheerfully in community events as he was able. For almost 20 years he directed the Saturday Market in Pleasant Hill that raises funds to help combat hunger in the county; he regularly gave blood through Red Cross (eating more raisins for extra iron sometimes!) and volunteered weekly at Good Samaritan’s. In 2005, when Betty was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, daughter Susan and her husband, Jeff Strain, moved from Richmond, IN, to Pleasant Hill to help with Betty’s care and have remained for care and support of Len. Throughout their 60 years of marriage, Len and Betty maintained close contact with family and friends through travel and correspondence, including Christmas letters from 1948 until Betty’s passing in September 2009; Len faithfully carried on with the letters through last year, 2013. In 2010, Len moved from his and Betty’s Yonside Drive home up to the Heritage Circle neighborhood on the main campus and,

Tennessee Highway Patrol urges motorists to watch out for deer The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) urges motorists to exercise caution on the roadways this time of year due to deer-mating and -hunting season. Last year, two people were killed in traffic crashes involving deer on state roadways. “The fall season is the most active time of year for deer-related crashes. We want to remind drivers to watch out for deer on or around the roadways, especially at dawn or after sunset,” Colonel Tracy Trott said. Motorists are also encouraged to dial *THP (*847) from an available cell phone for assistance in the event of a deer-related crash. The call will be connected to the nearest THP Communications Center, and the next available state trooper will be dispatched to the location. In Tennessee, there were 6,135 deer-related crashes in 2013. That’s an increase of 3.2 percent from the 5,947 crashes involving
October through December worst time for deer-related crashes deer the previous year. Last year’s deer-related traffic incidents included 5,853 property damage crashes, 280 wrecks with injury and two vehicular fatalities. The THP also reports that between 2009 and 2013, 8.9 percent of deerrelated crashes occurred on interstate highways. Deer-related crashes in Tennessee have steadily increased by 15.3 percent since 2009. According to State Farm®, the nation’s leading auto insurer, there have been an estimated 1.25 million collisions between deer and vehicles in the U.S. between July 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014. That’s an almost three percent increase from a year ago. The Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) suggest the
following tips to help prevent deer-related crashes during peak mating and hunting seasons: • Remember that mating season puts deer on the move, and deer tend to move at dawn and dusk. • Whenever you see deer cross the road, expect more to follow. Many times, the second or third deer crossing becomes the one that motorists hit. • Be attentive; drive defensively, constantly scanning the roadside, especially at daybreak and dusk. • Do not swerve to avoid contact with deer. This could cause the vehicle to flip or veer into oncoming traffic, causing a more serious crash. Swerving also can confuse the deer as to where to run. • When you spot a deer, slow down immediately. Proceed slowly until
you pass that point. • If you do collide with a deer, never approach the injured animal. They are powerful and can cause bodily harm to a human. Report any deer collision, even if the damage is minor. Tennessee law allows deer killed in a collision to be taken and used as food, as long as you contact the nearest TWRA regional office to report the accident within 48 hours.

Two-thirds of seniors apply for TN Promise scholarship program CHATTANOOGA (AP) — With a Nov. 1 deadline approaching, nearly twothirds of Tennessee’s high school seniors have applied for a new scholarship program that guarantees to cover the costs of a twoyear college degree. Among them is 17-yearold Christian Woodfin, a senior at Red Bank High School. He told The Chattanooga Times Free Press that without the Tennessee Promise program, it would have been difficult for him to attend college. He plans to use the program to get a two-year degree in fire science and engineering so he can be a firefighter. Gov. Bill Haslam has visited high schools around the state to promote Tennessee Promise. He hopes the program will help boost the number of Tennesseans with two- or fouryear degrees to 55 percent, up from 33 percent now. Some 42,000 of Tennessee’s roughly 62,000 high school seniors have applied. Most students who apply probably won’t enroll, according to state officials. Based on the experience
REPORTS
Deadline to apply is Nov. 1 with Tennessee Achieves, a smaller, similar program upon which Tennessee Promise was modeled, about 16 percent of applicants actually enroll, said Dave Smith, Haslam’s press secretary. Applying online to Tennessee Promise is quick and easy, officials say, and students may sign up as a fall-back in case other plans don’t work out. Or because their school counselors suggested it — as is likely the case, Smith said, in some counties where every graduating senior applied. Tennessee Promise also seeks adult mentors to spend one hour a month to “help students navigate the college admissions process and ensure they complete Tennessee Promise program requirements,” the program’s website says. Mentors are expected to do such things as remind students of deadlines and reach out to parents and guardians. Once they get to college, enrollees also have to complete eight hours of comuse of bond proceeds and reimbursements for capital projects.” The S & P Analysts expect that Crossville’s finances will remain strong with general fund surpluses and break even operations for total government funds. Crossville’s total governmental fund debt service is 9.3 percent of total governmental funds expenditures. The city’s outlook for future bond ratings reflects S & P’s expectation that Crossville will maintain its position. The report concludes, “Although unlikely, should the city’s economic metrics improve significantly, we could raise the rating. Given the city’s overall credit strength, we do not anticipate downward pressure on the rating.”
• Continued from 1A S & P analysts praised the city’s budgetary flexibility because of its available reserves of 78.1 percent in fiscal year 2013, roughly $9.7 million and even though the percentages are expected to drop to 66 percent the report describes that as “still very strong.” The report also outlines the benefit of Crossville’s strong liquidity position that the analysts expect the city to maintain and allowing “strong access to capital markets to provide for liquidity needs if necessary.” Crossville budgetary performance was also ranked “strong, with a surplus of 23 percent for the general fund and 30.5 pern Jim Young may be cent for the total government funds in 2013 after reached at jimyoungremaking adjustments for porter@gmail.com.
munity service per term and maintain a 2.0 gradepoint average. State officials expect to spend $15 million on Tennessee Promise in its first year. The cost will rise to an estimated $34 million in three or four years, when the program is fully
underway, officials say. Funding comes from interest on $312.5 million that was taken from the Tennessee Lottery’s surplus fund that’s been put into an irrevocable trust. State Treasury employees invest the trust’s money, and the interest will be used to fund Tennessee Promise.
‘Pig Business’ to be shown in PH
The Ecojustice Class sponsors documentaries on current and timely concerns on Sunday mornings in Room 4 of Pleasant Hill Community Church/UCC, Main Street and Church Drive, Pleasant Hill. On Sunday, Nov. 2, at 8:30 a.m., they will view “Pig Business,” a film about the devastating global impact of factory farms on our environment, human health, rural communities and animal welfare. It features Robert Kennedy, Jr., and UK eco-campaigner and director Tracy Worcester, and reveals how U.S. concentrated agriculture feeding operations (CAFOs) are now moving to Eastern Europe- particularly to Poland- and demonstrates the link between clearing forests in the Amazon to grow soy for pig feed. Worcester says, “Pig Business suggests the need for change in many areas- animal welfare, supermarket labeling, environmental protection and economic policy to name a few. Some people watching the film will be concerned about all these areas, others will be touched by a single injustice” (73 minutes). At 8 a.m., the group will view “Alzheimer’s & Diet,” “Can Food Cure Heart Disease,” “Processed Meats,” and “Food Tank: Change Food System.” Refreshments are provided. All are welcome to attended.

Goin’ Postal Crossville celebrates grand opening The Crossville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the new Goin’ Postal Crossville packing and shipping store at 155 Highland Square. Goin’ Postal Crossville is owned and operated by John and Kim Platts, who moved to Cumberland County one year ago after leaving active military service.

Our proprietary software, GP Rate Pro, allows us to shop and find the best option for each individual customer’s needs,” said John. “While serving in the military as a procurement and logistics specialist, I learned over the years how to pack and ship everything from small, delicate repair parts to entire helicopters, boats and even modular buildings,” he added. “If you need it packed right and shipped affordably, we are the people to come to.” In addition to pack and ship services, Goin’ Postal Crossville sells local art, handicrafts, honey and Tennessee Treasures, a line of jams, jellies, coffees and other gift items made here in Tennessee.

Mocs defeat Mercer 38-31 for fifth win The UT-Chattanooga Mocs improved to 4-0 in the SoCon with a recordsetting performance in their 38-31 victory over the Mercer Bears Saturday evening at Findley Stadium in the first-ever noon start in the Coach Russ Huesman era. "First off, you have to give Mercer, Coach Bobby Lamb and his staff credit. They had an unbelievable offensive game plan. Their kids played hard on both sides of the ball. They came in planning on winning this football game, and that's credit to their coaches and their players. They've got good players. They've gotten there in a hurry," said Huseman. "I was proud of our offense. Our offense made plays. Jacob Huesman, obviously other than the interception, played really well. Derrick Craine continues to run hard. Our offensive line is getting better. So offensively, I'm proud of them," he added. The crowd of 10,763 witnessed the Mocs produce its second-highest offensive output with 542 yards on 71 plays (359 passing on 24 of 36 passes with one PIC and 183 rushing on 35 carries) and season-high 7.6 yards per play. Jacob Huesman had a career-high 359 yards and two TDs. This was his first interception against an FCS team this season, along with a career high for attempts. His record-setting career continues. This was the first 300-yard passing game and ninth career game with 200+ yards passing yards. This was the most passing yards in a game since B.J. Coleman had 386 against Elon Oct. 30, 2010. His two TD passes gives him 41 for his career, moving him into fourth all-time at UTC, passing Steve Woods (1978-'81). He also rushed eight times for 99 yards, raising his career total to 2,281 to surpass Carey Heny (1958-'61) for eighth all-time, and now has 22 career rushing TDs to tie for fourth alltime with teammate Keon Williams. He has a career-high 458 yards of total offense. The Bears took a 7-0 first quarter lead, as quarterback John Russ ran eight yards to cap a three-play, 61-yard drive with 10:23 left. Jagger Lieb booted the PAT. The Mocs roared back with a 10 play, 55-yard drive, capped by a four-yard pass from Jacob Huesman to Troy Dye. This was Dye's first score of the season. Henrique Riberio tied the game with his first of five PATs. A 74-yard pass from Russ to Tee Mitchell capped a See MOCS page 11A

Johnson scores four TDs in win over White County By Gary Robbins Chronicle contributor
Justin Johnson rushed for 179 yards on 28 carries with four touchdowns and Dylan Dishman returned an interception 99 yards to lead the SMHS Panthers to a 32-7 District 6AAA victory over the White County Warriors on senior night. "(A) Really big win for Stone Memorial, probably clinched a playoff berth, but more importantly we are playing week 10 for a district title. I'm just really proud of our team, especially the way they have matured and learned to function as a team and put egos aside. We could've folded after the Cookeville game but that adversity made us stronger," said Coach Mark Wattenbarger, whose team improved to 6-3 overall and 3-1 in District 6AAA. This victory secured the Panthers' third-straight playoff appearance and gives them a shot a the district title this Friday at Rhea County for a 6:30 p.m. CDT contest. Hutson Smith returned the opening kickoff to the 24-yard line to start the Panthers' first possession of the game. SMHS' game play was to control the clock and the line of scrimmage, and they were successful on both by the end of the evening. Junior Justin Johnson set the tone early, as he busted a 22-yard run on second down. On fourth and one, Carlos Barnette showed he was also capable as he went eight yards for a first down to keep the drive alive at the White County 30-yard line. Wattenbarger used two timeouts, showing his priority to get the ball into the end zone on this first possession. Johnson scored his first touchdown on fourth and goal from the three; however, Colton Akin's PAT was no good as the Panthers ate up 8:56 on the clock for the 6-0 lead. White County moved the ball to the 36-yard line, after the upback waved for a fair catch, which went unrecognized by the officials.

Carlos Barnette (44) turns up the after burner in the Panthers’ win over White County Friday night. Keith Martin sacked quarterback Trenton Hodges on third down. A bad snap and forced punt set up the Panthers at their 46-yard line. Quarterback Austin Helton showed he had to be respected in the passing game, as he aired one out to Chandler Vanatter for a 22-yard gain to move the ball to the White County 28-yard line, as time expired in the first quarter. The second quarter proved to be much like the first as the Panther offense pounded the ball and the defense dominated the other side of the ball. Wattenbarger threw a new wrinkle into the offense, as Johnson lined up in the wildcat formation to take a direct snap. He went for 12-yard to the three-yard line and scored his second TD, followed by the two-point conversion for a 14-0 lead with 10:39 left in the half. Seniors Dakota Karge

The Grundy County Yellow Jackets scored eight points with 1:20 left in the fourth quarter to take a 44-36 victory over the CCHS Jets in a non-district contest in Coalmont Friday night. A six-yard pass from Houston Mainord to Logan Meeks and the two-point conversion gave the Yellow Jackets the victory, after the Jets rallied from 22 points down to tie the game at 36-36 on a one-yard run by Jordan Buckner with 7:47 left in the game. The go-ahead two-point conversion failed. The hosts took an 8-0 lead with 8:02 left in the first quarter, as Mainord passed to Trent Hampton to cap an 84-yard drive. The two-point conversion was good. Buckner passed 26 yards to Nolan McClain to cap a 70-yard drive, but the PAT was no good with 7:06 left in the period. Mainord passed 32-yards to Hampton with 4:19 left to cap a 52-yard drive, but the two-point conversion failed, keeping the Yellow Jackets ahead 14-6. Grundy County extended the lead to 28-6, as Alex Nunley scored on a 10-yard run to cap an 82-yard drive with 10:32 left in the half, and Mainord passed four yards to Christian Brown to end a 79-yard drive with 3:35 left in the half. The Yellow Jackets converted one of the two two-point conversions. Jake Kerley capped a Jet 41-yard drive with a oneyard run with 29 seconds remaining in the half. Buckner converted the two-point conversion to make it 28-14 at the break. Grundy County opened the second half with a 68-yard drive to take a 36-14 lead on a 13-yard run by Greg McDaniel and another two-point conversion. Coach Ted McCaslin's never-say-die squad scored two touchdowns in the final six minutes of the third quarter to slice the lead to 36-30. The first came on a six-yard run by McClain to cap a 37-yard drive, with Buckner passing to Ty Tabor for the two-point conversion. A 67-yard pass from Buckner to Tabor sliced

As boys up front controlled the game, Johnson changed jersey 6 for 14, after No. 6 was ripped off by a White County defender to start the fourth quarter. He scored his third TD on a two-yard run, as he walked into the end zone behind Chase Eichner, Cole McDaniel, Alec Moore, Spencer Pugh and Christian Staton, who controlled the war in the trenches. SMHS was in control and told him, 'he's solid, at 26-0 with 11:14 left in breaks tackles, makes the right cuts, hangs on to the football, catches the football when it's thrown to him.' He's about as solid as they get. I'm proud of him," said Coach Huesman. The Mocs travel to Western Carolina this Saturday, before hosting Wofford Nov. 8 for a 1 p.m. EDT game.

On fourth and one from that point, White County was called for illegal procedure, backing them up five yards to the seven-yard line which proved to be a key turn of events. The Warriors went for it

Not only could we not tackle, but we couldn't fit gaps, couldn't cover the right people and got personal foul penalties. We have to get it fixed. But, a lot of it had to do with now Mercer attacked us and the things they did," he said. "I think they exposed that we didn't tackle. We've been tackling, but today we just weren't tackling. We had two big play blown coverages. If
we don't improve defensively, they're going to get a taste of how we're going to practice from here on out defensively." Nakevion Leslie had five tackles and a career high two tackles for losses, while Derrick Lott also recorded five tackles and a sack. Lott is 5.0 in sacks and 10.5 for TFLs. Davis Tull recorded six tackles and 1.5 sacks. He is averaging 8.5 sacks on the year to lead the SoCon and 35.0 for the year, which is one shy of No. 2 in the conference. Lucas Webb recorded his fourth interception for the season and added four tackles. C.J. Board tied a career high with five receptions for a career high 82 yards. This is his second-straight game with a 50+ yard catch, along with 88 yards on three catches in the first quarter. Derrick Craine continues to impress, as he rushed for 53 yards on 13 attempts with his second rushing TD of the year and a career-high five catches for 55 yards. "He has been really good. I grabbed him after the game

It is time to do some fishing By Marlene Potter Chronicle contributor
Now is the time to pick up that rod and reel and do some fall fishing. Meadow Park Lake has just finished the last turn over for the year, water clarity is improving and water temperature has been slowly dropping. Recently it felt like bath water, and it is still fairly warm compared to the air temperature these last few days. Fishing action along the docks has greatly improved as well as on the lake. Anglers are reporting lots of luck using night crawlers, hornet larve (Eddie Kmet special) minnows or a 1/32 oz. white jig. Autumn is one of my favorite times to fish because if the fish are still a little slow the colors are great and other wildlife is abundant. I would like to remind everyone that even with the latest rainfall the lake level is still very low and much caution needs to be taken when boating up the lake. I took advantage of the
low water and set up a bass breeding bench in a shallow cove. While there I saw two doe both with this year's fawns frolicking along the water's edge. On the way back to the marina, I stopped in at Old Soldiers Beach to check on that section of walking trail and I came upon a young deer. While he didn't seem to mind me, he appeared to definitely sense something down wind of him. It was a treat to just observe him. •Friends of Crossville trails will be having a trail work session Nov. 1 from 9
a.m. to noon. We will meet briefly with John Conrad at the Meadow Park shelter before heading out on the trail. Put it on your calendar to come out and join the party. If you have a question for John, send it to crossvilletrails @gmail. com. Meadow Park marina still has boat, canoe, and kayak rentals available. Call (931) 7882034 for more information. Where ever you live, hit the trails, get out on the water and enjoy the season. Until next time.

LINKS drive for donated instruments set Nov. 1 The Southern Stars Symphonic Brass (SSSB) and the Fairfield Glade Rotary Club are having a followup instrument donation drive to build on the very successful LINKS project of last year. In last year’s campaign, a total of 26 band instruments were donated worth $11,200 which were presented free of charge to the local county schools. LINKS stands for Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids and involves receiving donated used musical instruments from the community. These are then repaired and given to the Cumberland County school system to be distributed to financially needy kids who would like to participate in band but may not have the resources to rent or purchase an instrument. Dwight Wages, President of the SSSB, said, “This program is one that touched the hearts of the generous donors who were parting with a musicial instrument that they or their child had played which had given them good memories and pride in the accomplishments which came with learing to play and participate in a musical ensemble. In a lot of cases, the instrument had been sitting idle for many years, and having it resurrected and going to some youngster was a “feel-good” moment. Both the Fairfield Glade Rotary and the Southern Stars are pleased to help the local instrumental music programs in the schools with an expectation that these programs can grow even stronger with higher student participation.” This year’s LINKS instrument drive will be held on one day only, on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There are two LINKS drop-off locations: the Fairfield Glade Village Mall and the ACPL Library in Crossville. Wind instruments are primarily being sought, but percussion, stringed instruments

If you have any questions related to this project, or can not make the Nov. 1 drop off date, please call Dwight Wages at (931) 4846939. Rush’s Music Stores in Knoxville has graciously agreed to provide repairs at a discount to aid this worthy project, and the Fairfield Glade Rotary will cover the cost of repairs. In addition, the Rotary Club is enthusiastically funding an additional proj-
ect to encourage fourthgrade students to learn to play a recorder as part of their general music classes. A recorder is a relatively simple instrument to learn to play and, importantly, one that they can play with a good tone in a very short period of time. Experience shows that students who accomplish play-
ing a recorder, will have a much higher degree of success with the more complex instruments (trumpets, clarinets/saxes, flutes, etc.). The elementary music educators of Cumberland County were very excited to hear that the Rotary was willing to purchase new recorders for any student who wanted to try out learning to play
this instrument. At press time, the total number of recorders requested by the elementary music educators is 600 and this gift from the Rotary is worth $3000. Playing a musical instrument develops the whole student, and there are many studies which have shown that students who play an instrument often do bet-

Deer defense: repellents, barriers and resistant plants By C. Rae Hozer
Plateau Gardening
These days it seems most rural and suburban areas sizeable deer populations. Deer wander into yards in search of tasty plants to browse upon causing lots of damage. If you are a homeowner who doesn’t appreciate deer nibbling on your herbaceous (soft-stemmed) plants or on shrubs and trees in your landscape, experts recommend three primary deer defense options. 1. Use a deer repellent spray to protect garden flowers and landscape plants. 2. Use fencing or netting to block access to plants. 3. Select and install plant material deer don’t like to eat. Combining all three — repellents, barriers and resistant plants — is the best way to go. The Cornell University web page cited in the last article (http://www.flowerbulbs.cornell.edu/landscape/vole_feeding_2013. pdf) mentions evaluating commercially available deer repellent sprays during their studies on protecting bulbous plants and shrubs from nuisance animals. They concluded, “The overall bottom line from all this work is that repellent sprays based on the ‘rotten egg’ smell are generally most effective at keeping deer damage to a minimum. Products (of this type) such as Deer-Off and Deer-Away generally repel deer for about three to four weeks when sprayed on plants according to directions. Thus, several sprays throughout the growing and flowering period will usually give good protection.” In 1998, when Cumberland County Master Gardeners Association members toured several water gardens and one backyard railroad garden in the Crossville area hosts at one residence (Don and Sheryl Reeser of Fairfield Glade) shared a recipe for homemade deer repellent. The formula relies on egg to give the repellent an unappetizing scent. The Reeser yard and gardens are on fairway number two of Heatherhurst Golf Club’s Mountain Course where deer are prevalent. While on the tour, we saw no hint of deer damage. The yard looked picture perfect, which seemed a testament to the recipe’s effectiveness.
Here is the Reesers’ deer repellent recipe: Create the base by combining one (beaten) egg, 1/2 cup milk, one tablespoon vegetable oil and one tablespoon dishwashing detergent. Mix base solution and water prior to application. Pour 1/4 cup of the base into a 32-ounce spray bottle. Fill the spray container with water. Shake well to mix. Spot treat plants to be protected. Repeat treatment after each hard rain. The website Deer Friendly (http://www.deerfriendly.com /deer-resistant-plants) is a research project run by Kent Webb, PhD, MBA, MSE University of Pennsylvania, that welcomes useful deer information and comments. There you will find all sorts of ideas for repellents and fencing as well as deer resistant plant lists. Which plants deer like or dislike can vary by location. Selections are few on the Deer Friendly Tennessee Resistant Plant page which probably means deer here eat almost everything. Bulbs — Allium, autumn crocus, daffodil and winter aconite.

Meet at the marina at 9 a.m. As a special treat for volunteers, Meadow Park Lake Marina will offer a free pontoon boat tour to any volunteer who would like one. The trail under construction provides hiking access to the natural beauty of the city lake. It is about 1.5 miles. Volunteers on Nov. 1 will be digging and raking the trail bed to clear the topsoil and roots to prevent vegetation from growing back and to make trail maintenance easier. Everyone is welcome, but anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. To learn more, visit www. time2meet.com/crosssvilletrails. For questions, contact John Conrad at crossvilletrails@gmail.com or call 287-0244.

Perennials — bleeding heart, false indigo, garden sage, germander, ferns (many species), hyssop, iris, lambs ear, lavender, lemon balm, lungwort, mint, oregano, peony, Russian sage, tarragon, thyme and wild ginger. Trees and shrubs — bottlebrush buckeye, American holly, boxwood, serviceberry, paper birch, river birch, scotch pine, Douglas fir, dwarf Alberta spruce, mimosa and pawpaw. Whether a plant is palatable to deer also varies by season, when it was planted and how much water it gets. The site has a link to a YouTube video (http://youtu. be/NRsBrswGj54) called “An Egg-cellent Solution for Keeping Deer Out of Gardens,” which contains another homemade repellent recipe supposedly obtained about 40 years ago from a very old gardener in London, England.

Beverly Olin creates portraits with pastels, like the one above.
Express yourself with pastel painting this week at PCAC By Patricia Freed Chronicle contributor
Pastels are a fun and forgiving fine-art medium. Artist-instructor Beverly Olin will offer a three-session class, “Express Yourself with Pastels,” on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30 and 31 and Nov. 1, from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Plateau Creative Arts Center (PCAC). The cost is $51 for members or $66 for nonmembers. Single class rates are also available. Participants are asked to bring a variety of photos and their own pastel art supplies. If participants need to use studio supplies, some materials will be available for a small fee. The infinite and rich variety of colors in the pastel palette can range from soft and subtle to bold and brilliant. Pastel paint is not packaged in tubes but into sticks of pigment. To produce pastel paint, pure powdered pigment is ground into a paste with a small amount of gum binder and then rolled into sticks. All art mediums have interested artist Olin, but her first pastel class sparked a special interest. She loves working with the immediate, true colors and variety of approaches that keep the pastel medium challenging and fresh. “Beginners can feel immediate success, and the more subtle gradations of color in layers come with practice and experience,” she said. Register for the Express Yourself with Pastel Painting Class at the Plateau Creative Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Dr.(off Peavine Rd.). A supply list is available at registration. For more information, or to enroll and pay by credit card, call 707-7249. This class and many others are offered at the PCAC by the Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization and an equal opportunity provider.

Organizations, family gather to hold memorial for 2 Sgt. Green It has been said that those who do not honor accomplishments, deeds and sacrifices of their ancestors do not deserve to be remembered and honored by their descendants. 2 Sergeant James M. Green was remembered Sept. 20 when approximately 40 guests gathered at Potter Cemetery in Warren County to attend his memorial. Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and the Order of Confederate Rose (OCR) participated in the ceremony. Matthew McClanahan served as Master of Ceremonies, and Edward Butler gave the welcome. In addition, GGGGGrandson Aaron Ingram provided the music by singing nineteenth-century hymns to the accompaniment of his guitar, and Ruby Pruett delivered the tribute. Other parts of the ceremony included prayers; a salute to the flag; a poem; the placing of a wreath, flag, and rose at the tomb; firing of the volley; “Taps” and a group singing of “Dixie.” Before the Civil War, Mr. Green was a successful farmer. He attended school as an adult and served on the Board of Directors of Green’s College in the Bluff Springs community. He joined the Confederate service on Sept. 6, 1861, at Camp Smart near McMinnville, enlisting in Company A, 5th TN Infantry Regiment, later called (2) Company A, 35th TN Infantry Regiment. He participated in

He was discharged Dec. 15, 1862, owing to “an act of Congress to discharge all nonscripts.” However, he reenlisted and was promoted to 2 Sergeant. He was presented at Tyner Station on July 15, 1863, and his regiment participated in the Battle of Chickamauga. Through unknown, he probably participated in other battles also.

by mail, he was pressing her to marry him as soon as possible. She was resisting, suggesting that they wait six months. Broke, in debt and under pressure to begin his work in the field, Eugene somehow found the money to get from Kentucky to Arkansas, where he was able to convince Loucile to marry him. It turned out to be the best decision he ever made. For 35 years, through the Depression, World War II and the uneasy prosperity that began to creep into Cumberland County in the 1950s, they pursued their vision in relative obscurity. He turned down an offer to join the national staff of the Presbyterian Church in order to remain at Big Lick. Then in the last year of his life, in the biggest upset in modern Presbyterian history, he was suddenly and unexpectedly elected moderator (chief presiding officer) of

Smathers publishes story of parents’ pioneering ministry Author Mike Smathers tells the story of his parents and their pioneering ministry in the community of Big Lick in his new book, “Adventurers in Faith.” Smathers’ father, Eugene Smathers, an honor graduate of Louisville Presbyterian Seminary, was told at the beginning of his ministry in 1932 that he was “wasting his life” by coming to the then remote Cumberland County Parish. Nevertheless, he pursued his vision of turning an existing natural rural community into a totally Christian community — something that no one had ever achieved before. As he was preparing to begin his ministry, he was also pursuing the love of his live, Charlee Loucile Boydston.

Alzheimer’s and dementia, with their different types and many symptoms, are hard to understand. Everyone wants to know why it is happening to so many loved ones. A person’s body may seem to be in good health, but their mind cannot remember what was said or done one minute earlier. No matter what may be causing it, these people sooner or later, do not need to be left alone. Caring for a loved one at home, can become very exhausting. It is beneficial, for their caregivers and families to seek help and the utilization of community resources, to aid them in meeting the social, emotional and practical needs of their loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone who cares for someone with Alzheimer’s 24/7 will tell you, they need a break in their week. The truth is, it is also good for the Alzheimer’s person as well. Most people with Alzheimer’s do not like changes because it can confuse them. The caregivers know this and attempt to be independent to carry the load, but everyone gets a better attitude with a little break. The Fair Park Senior Center knows about the concerns and issues concerning seniors. The New

Let those thoughts inspire you, Virgo By Holiday Mathis
Horoscopes
Neptune guides the realm of vision and in Pisces is particularly creative and spiritually aligned. Real insights are coming together as the sun and Neptune form the same 120-degree angle that occurred yesterday between Venus and Neptune. Strong themes around identity and selfesteem will be carried out in the hours and days to come. AR IES (March 21-April 19). Unexpected additions and requests are bound to make this day busier than expected. When the choice is between waiting and hustling, hustle. If you go at the suggested pace, you’ll already be behind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). They might not talk openly about it because it’s hard to explain, but you might be surprised by how many successful people rely on intuition every day. Rely on yours to avoid potential unpleasantness this afternoon. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone who wants to know what you know will shadow, research or interview you. It’s flattering to receive this kind of attention, though you’re compelled toward privacy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know that how you see yourself is more important than how others see you, and yet today it’s practically impossible to get an accurate self-image. Better to forget yourself and get lost in a project. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep up with your social life even though you
may not feel like it. One of your friends or loved ones needs to talk to you more than he or she lets on. Don’t let anyone go lonely on your dime! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Painful thoughts usually have something to teach you, so try to lean into them instead of rejecting them as negativity. Let those thoughts inspire you to act, resolve things or escape them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Showing up is enough today. If you can show up strong, all the better, but you don’t have to. Take the pressure off, because you’ll make a difference by simply checking in where you’re supposed to. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the most skeptical person can benefit from some kind of faith. Think of your faith as a muscle that needs exercise. There is no shortage of unknowable things to believe in. Choose a few of your favorites and invest some faith. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Overgeneral-

ization is a dangerous habit to watch out for in yourself and others. Nothing is all one way. Nuzzle up to life’s ambiguities today because they will help you understand the very thing that will enrich you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your rational mind leads the way for most of the day, but by evening this side of your brain is ready to take a break. That’s when the emotional person inside will call out for comfort and security. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s pointless to anticipate the next cycle of life or the one after that, because the cycle you’re in requires so much attention. Don’t let yourself rush ahead in fear or excitement. Stay here. Here needs you. PI SCE S ( Feb. 19-March 20). You have incredible powers of discipline in a certain area of your life and practically none in others. You’ll have willpower to apply elsewhere when you stop needing so much of it to keep up with your regular life. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll mature into a new stage of life in which you feel more

DAR keeping ‘the hope alive’ with gift to HonorAir On Thursday, Oct. 8, at the 5th Street Marketplace Café in Crossville, some members of the Crab-Orchard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) were seen at lunch with Gus Gocella, from HonorAir Knoxville, Inc. HonorAir Knoxville completed its 17th flight to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 1, with 122 Middle and Eastern Tennessee World War II and Korean War veterans participating. It was a free flight for the veterans. These trips are possible because of caring patriotic citizens such as the DAR. The generous donation from the state office in Nashville in September helped in-part to defray the $60,000 required to make these flights a reality. HonorAir Knoxville thanks the Tennessee Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution on behalf of all the Tennessee
veterans who traveled on the HonorAir Knoxville flights and returned to the gala receptions at McGhee Tyson Airport. “Your gift keeps ‘the hope alive,’ allowing Hon-

Uplands Village celebrates lives of service to African mission Pleasant Hill Ramblings
FEEL
GREAT! Winner
READERS’ CHOICE
FALL/WINTER HOURS Open Thursday 10am - 6pm
By Jean Clark
Chronicle contributor
Uplands Village in Pleasant Hill has for a long time attracted career missionaries from various denominational backgrounds to retire here. Others who have international ties, lived, worked or studied abroad feel comfortable settling in the Village as well. Since Uplands is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, some live independently in homes, condos, or apartments; others in the Fletcher House of Assisted Living; and some are cared for in the Wharton Homes. The Fletcher House Dietary staff under the direction of Deidre Ellis does all of the catering and special events for the whole Village. Knowing the background of many residents, she instigated the idea of the Dietary staff preparing an authentic African meal and invited the input of all those who had a connection with Africa. As you can imagine, there were many treasures brought from Africa by these world-travelers. A collection of wall hangings, photos, musical instruments (including a “thumb piano” and a variety of drums), wood carvings, and other artwork were set up around Adshead Hall of Fletcher House from many African countries. Deidre took African cooking lessons from former missionaries and persuaded the Dietary staff to prepare a meal for 132 people. The menu was Sadza (cornmeal) from Zimbabwe, Groundnut Stew from Ghana (also know as lentil stew for vegetarians), rice, baked plantains from West Africa, boiled greens, fruit cup, and Melktert (custard) Pie from South Africa. Jeri Abbott and her late husband, Don, were educators and missionaries from 1950 through 1970 in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Zambia. They returned in 1986 to Zimbabwe after independence and then Jeri alone in the early 1990s. Jeri, who was the “Evening in Africa” host, said grace in Shona, one of the languages spoken in Zimbabwe, following a traditional tusk horn blowing “call to dinner” by Bob Simpson. Lois Brater described the work of her doctor son in Africa. Ted Braun visited his late brother, Dick, and sister-in-law Trudy several times at their 30-year medical mission in Ghana. He showed and described his collection of whimsical African sculptures. Robin and Fran Markham were educators, health workers, and technical missionaries for 26 years in Angola, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Robin played an opuita (Angolan drum) and showed slides from Africa. A magnificent aerial view displayed the majestic Victoria Falls. Dr. Robert Simpson and Nadine Simpson RN told of their 18-year medical mission in Liberia and Mozambique for the Methodist Church. Marty McKnight’s father was a missionary in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the Sudan. She and husband Ted were Methodist missionaries in South Africa and Mozambique. Dr. M. Jeane Oldman and first husband, Dr. Rob-

At Uplands Village in Pleasant Hill, an authentic African meal celebrated the many lives of service to African mission. Seated are Lois Brater, Betty & Franklin Parker, Jeri Abbott and Jeane Oldman. In the middle row are Grace Inglis, Fran Markham, (giraffe), Dorothea Bowling, Carol Manchester, Nadine Simpson and Gaby Hein. In the back row are Don Inglis, Robin Markham, Ted & Marti McKnight, Dr. Bob Simpson, Hugh Thomforde and Ted Braun. ert Cochrane were medical missionaries in Tanzania. Gaby Hein and late her husband, Charles, spent 40 years in Africa in Togo, Kenya and Zaire. Carol Manchester and late husband Owen spent three years in Ethiopia with the YMCA program. Betty and Franklin Parker spent two years teaching, learning and writing on an International Fellowship in Rhodesia and Fulbright Research Scholarship in Zambia. Dorothea Bowling was an Educational Resource person in Rhodesia. Don and Grace Inglis’ daughter and son-in-law were serving in the South Sudan and are presently in Agriculture and Medical Sciences in Uganda. The evening culminated in a vigorous drumming and instrumental performance. It is exciting to live in Uplands Village because of the fascinating experiences so many people have had and conversations with their wide circle of friends who come to visit. How perceptive of the Uplands’ staff of the importance of celebrating those backgrounds and helping share those cultures with every-
one. I’m looking forward to Japanese, Indian, Turkish cuisine or maybe even Scotch-Irish, German, French, etc. the possibilities are endless. This is what has always made America such a diverse and exciting place to be – the blending yet uniqueness of so many backgrounds. This week in Pleasant Hill: Tuesday, Oct. 28 – Expressions Through Movement & Sound from 1-2:30 p.m. in Adshead Hall of Fletcher House. Led by Rebecca Kilmer and Jean Ring – all welcome.

Exhibit explores Civil War in TN in 1864 1864 would prove to be the decisive year of the Civil War. Despite Union victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Chattanooga the previous year, northern citizens were growing war-weary. The mounting lists of dead and wounded made many wonder if the South should finally be allowed its independence. Geographically situated between the midwestern states and the deep South, Tennessee was to be the major battleground in the western theater. The Mississippi, Tennessee and Cumberland Riv-
ers, combined with numerous rail lines which crossed the state, made Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and Knoxville of strategic importance to both Union and Confederate forces. A new exhibit, with 16 panels full of images and information on this fascinating period in history, recently opened at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. It explores the role Tennessee played as a transportation and supply hub, the experiences and contributions of AfricanAmericans and key battles at Johnsonville, Memphis,
Deadline draws near for nut fundraiser Once again, the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency (UCHRA) is selling a variety of nuts that will be delivered in time for Thanksgiving. These nuts are packaged in one-pound bags and will include pecans, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, praline pecans, chocolate amaretto pecans and white and dark chocolate pecans. In addition, they are offering holiday gift assortments. The 2014 nut sale campaign benefits the Older Adult Nutrition Program, which has become essential for thousands of elderly persons in the 14 Upper Cumberland counties who would not otherwise receive a well-balanced, nutritious meal. Thanks to support of the nut sale last year, they were able to provide meals for citizens who were previously on a
waiting list. As the senior citizen population in the Upper Cumberland continues to grow, the need of the services provided by UCHRA increases. The nutrition program provides 5,599 meals each week. Approximately 95 citizens are currently on the waiting list. State and federal funding is not adequate to meet the ever-growing needs of the community, and UCHRA is required to match much of the money received for the program. For a complete list and prices of items available for this year’s nut sale, call the local UCHRA office at 456-0691. Orders for the nut sale must be received no later than Oct. 31. Please submit orders via fax (456-6641) or mail to 73 Methodist Campground Loop, Crossville, TN 38555.

Fort Pillow, Spring Hill, Columbia, Franklin and Nashville. The exhibit also highlights historical records that are valuable genealogy resources such as army muster rolls, Civil War service records, the Southern Claims Commission records, colored pension applications, the Union provost marshal records, cemetery records and TSLA’s manuscript collections. Visitors to the Tennessee State Library and Archives are invited to come explore the role Tennessee played in the Civil War in 1864.
The exhibit will remain open until mid-December. The State Library and Archives is at 403 Seventh Ave. N, just west of the state capitol building in downtown Nashville. The exhibit, free and open to all visitors, is located in the building’s lobby directly behind the main entrance. The Tennessee State Library and Archives is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., with the exception of state holidays. Parking is available in front, behind and beside the building.

For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident. Refusing to believe she was abandoned, Jenna searches for her mother regularly online and pores over the pages of Alice’s old journals. A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research among the animals she loved, yet Jenna hopes the entries will
Susie Randleman
Art Circle Library News provide a clue to her mother’s whereabouts. As Jenna’s memories dovetail with the events in her mother’s journals, the story races to a mesmerizing finish. A deeply moving, gripping, and intelligent page-turner, “Leaving Time” is Jodi Picoult at the height of her powers. “The Beatles Lyric: The Unseen Story Behind Their Music” Edited by Hunter Davies. Never before has anyone attempted to track down and publish the original versions of the classic songs of the Beatles, many of which have never yet been published. These documents have ended up in the hands of collectors and friends of the Beatles, scattered across the world at museums and universities. Hunter Davies knew and worked with the Beatles during their heyday, and wrote their first and only authorized biography. In this collection, he has tracked down and reproduced over 100 original handwritten manuscripts of their songs, reproduced here – and, in almost every case, for the very first time. Almost every Beatles song has a great story behind it, whether it is “Yesterday,” “Eleanor Rigby” or “Yellow Submarine.” Many books have appeared about the Beatles, but in the end what really matters – and will always matter most – is their music. Their music comes out of their lives, just as their lives and emotions are reflected in their music. “The Beatles Lyrics” is the definitive story of their lives, as uniquely told through their music. “Gray Mountain” by John Grisham. In classic Grisham style, the reader is brought into the world of a naive yet resourceful young lawyer who begins to uncover
the generations of secrets which want to remain buried. “Gray Mountain” follows Samantha, a third year associate at New York’s largest law firm, who loses her job two weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Within a week, Samantha is out of New York and has become an unpaid intern in a legal aid clinic in small town Appalachia, where for the first time she deals with real clients with real problems; those real problems start uncovering a sinister world of big coal, with its impacts on the environment, the health of its miners, but, as the only real industry in town, with an overbearing influence on a community and its people. Her character’s intelligence and resourcefulness leads her deeper into this world, and, in the vein of many Grisham novels, leads her into deeper and deeper peril. Information Tip of the Week Consumer Reports offers the following advice when using your dishwasher: Do put large items at the sides and back of the dishwasher. Face dishes toward the tub’s center to give them more exposure to the spray, and give each a little space for better coverage. Put items with baked-on food in the bottom rack with food facedown towards the spray arm. Place silverware with handles down, but put knives handles-up. If your dishwasher has an open basket, mix spoons, forks, and knives to keep them from nesting. Using the little individual slots for silverware also gets them nice and clean. Use the top rack for plastic and fragile, dishwasher-safe items. Don’t try to fit more glassware by crowding glasses together. Rest them individually on prongs to keep them from bumping into each other—and to keep water from pooling in them. You can also prevent chipping of china, crystal, and stemware with the same meth-
od, and some dishwashers have special slots for stemware. If you’re replacing an older dishwasher, today’s models typically have more room for place settings than older models. That means 12 or sometimes more. Before visiting an appliance store, read the dishwasher buying guide by Consumer Reports.

‘Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog’ By Heather Mullinix Chronicle assistant editor
Relationships between students, teachers, staff, and the community are a priority for Homestead Elementary School. “We try to strengthen and build relationships with our families, with each other and with the community,” said Robin Pinder, principal of Homestead Elementary School. The school strives to start news students off on the right foot, with a new family orientation program, including tours of the campus, which is unique with multiple buildings. The goal of the Becoming a Bulldog program is to combat the number of students moving in and out of the school throughout the year, with information about school and community activities. Ashlee Ritzko, assistant principal, said, “We want to meet families when they register to say hello...We want to solidify them in our community.” A few weeks later, that welcomed is followed up with a letter and a sticker. “It’s just a token to say you’re part of our family,” Ritzko said. “Our goal is that families would want to make every effort to stay here and combat the mobility rate.” The school combined its Parent-Community Partners Council, Parent-Teacher Organization, faculty advisory council and student advisory council into one group this year, Bulldog Backers. The group meets monthly to look at needs for the school. “We’re just working more

Homestead Elementary closely together,” Pinder said. The group not only helps to identify needs of the school, such as the need to replace the kindergarten playground at a hefty cost, but also special activities, like movie nights, and sprucing up the grounds for special events. “When they see a need, they take care of it,” Ritzko said. The playground drive is ongoing, with a goal of $25,000. Donations can be made at the school. Another new program is the Friends in Literature 2020 program, which is beginning this year with partnering pre-kindergar-

As those students progress through the school, they will stay together until the pre-kindergarten students reach fourth grade and become the mentors. “Over the years, those kids can build relationships with each other,” Ritzko said.

Brown Elementary seventh-grade students examined career clusters and identified jobs for further research in the Junior Achievement It’s My Future program sessions. The program provides a practical, experiential approach to learning about potential careers and the working world.
Seventh-grade Brown Elementary students explored potential careers through the Junior Achievement program, It’s My Future, with instructor and Youth Achievement Foundation chair Rich Soenen and BES guidance counselor Kelly Thurman. During the first session, students designed personal logos to emphasize the importance of building a positive outlook for the future.
CCHS student attends NYLF in Philadelphia This summer, young scholars from across the country participated in the National Youth Leadership Forum in Medicine (NYLF/MED). Gene Thomas Cravens, a junior at Cumberland County High School, attended the session at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, June 22-30. He is a member of an elite group of National Society of High School Scholars and joined other members who had also demonstrated academic excellence and an interest in careers in medicine. He received a certificate of merit in the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in recognition of outstanding dedication to educational achievement, strength of character and leadership in 2014. “As a participant in this leadership conference, he has distinguished himself as one of the country’s top student leaders based on scholastic achievement and academic excellence,” said Dr. Marguerite C. Reagan, NYLF dean of academic affairs. During the nine-day forum, NYLF/MED introduced students to a variety of medical topics, medical ethics, public health, research, general practice and surgery. Students participated in on-site visits at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine while staying on campus at the Medical School, visiting medical and surgical clinics. Students were presented with fictional patients’ case histories and other important scenarios and they were asked to diagnose and develop a treatment plan, as well as observe surgeries. “Each student may very well be the face of the future of medicine,” said Reagan. “The National Youth Leadership Forum in Medicine gives students with outstanding academic achievement a glimpse into future promising careers in the medical field,” she

brother of Caroline Jean Cravens, was nominated last fall by his AP biology teacher, Jill Lay. Cravens is a member of the Beta Club, HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America), Math Club and Duke TIPS, an honor society for children scoring above the 95th percentile in TCAP from grades 2-6, which made him eligible to take the actual ACT and SAT while in the seventh grade, alongside high school students. He was named Most Outstanding in CCHS ChemSee NYLF page 3D

SMHS senior Jessica Hale named Lions ‘Student of the Month’
By K en Steadman Chronicle contributor
Jerrica Hale, senior at Stone Memorial High School, was selected by school Counselor Missy Miller to participate in the Fairfield Glade Lions Club “Student of the Month” Program. Lion’s program chairman Bob Cover and Homestead Timber Frames, corporate partner, designated October 2014 as her special month. The Lions Club has been sponsoring this program for over 25 years. For many years, 10 students were selected form Cumberland County High School before the existence of Stone Memorial and The Phoenix School. Now, there are a total of 12 students selected from the three schools through the support of corporate partners and hopefully more students can be added in the future. Miss Hale is extremely active in school activities as well as busy with other activities and organization. She is currently Treasurer of the Senior Class, was voted Homecoming Queen, and is a Superintendent’s Community Trustee. In addition, she is a member of the Beta Club, Student Council and Health Occupa-
tions Students of America (HOSA) where she serves as Treasurer. She also volunteers at her local church to help conduct children’s services and help in the nursery. This past summer, she volunteered with TriCities Work camp, a program that helps in low income neighborhoods to improve resident’s homes. Jerrica commented, “We did things that the home owner could not financially or physically do for themselves. It was such a blessing to see the impact I had on one man’s life.” So, what does the future hold for Jerrica? She wants to attend Tennessee Tech University to be a Pediatric Oncology Nurse. She plans on graduating in the top percentage of her high school class and plans to do the same in college. Her final comment, “I want to live wherever my job takes me.” The Fairfield Glade Lions Club has the highest membership of any Lions Club in the State of Tennessee. They also are one of the most active with programs to help children and adults in the community. They meet on the third Monday of each month at the Druid Hills Country Club for dinner starting at 6 p.m. You are cordially
invited to attend and find out what the Lions world is all about. Please call Membership Chairman, Marty Smith, at 484-6784 to learn more and attend your first meeting as their guest. “It is very satisfying and rewarding to give some of your time back to help improve the community and make it a better place to live,” stated Marty.

Raise money, prevent bullying with South Cumberland According to the CBPP, some states’ new budgets are spending up to $1,242 less per-pupil funding for kindergarten through 12th grade than they did six years ago. Each year the Chrysler brand helps to ensure that students have access to school programs and supplies that they deserve. On Oct. 31, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. during the Halloween Party at South Cumberland Elementary School, local Chrysler dealership East Tennessee Dodge-Chrysler will host a Chrysler “Drive for the Kids” fundraiser. For every test drive taken during the hours of the fundraiser, the school will earn $10 from Chrysler brand which will be put toward areas much in need of funding. More participation equates to more funding from Chrysler brand. The fundraiser will take
place in the parking lot of South Cumberland Elementary School, located at 3536 Lantana Road in Crossville. Additionally, Chrysler supports the program “Project Seatbelt” created by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights in an effort to instill bullying prevention instincts in parents, teachers and students — equal to that of putting on a seatbelt in the car. Bullying prevention statistics, tips and more will be available to take home from the fundraiser. “The Chrysler brand is committed to applying its resources to help build strong and safe communities through great partnerships with organizations such as the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights and its bullying prevention initiative,” said Al Gardner, President and CEO, Chrysler Brand,
Chrysler Group LLC. “As part of our Drive for the Kids programs throughout 2014, we will continue to distribute free information about this important issue in a space where the topic is vital to the audience, including leaders in the school system, families and children.” All schools participating in the Drive for the Kids program receive a kit from RFK Project SEATBELT with bullying prevention materials to share with their students and parents, and the Town & Country vehicles will play a video speaking to bullying prevention on its in-car video monitor during the drives. More information about the Chrysler brand’s support of the RFK Project SEATBELT bullying prevention initiative that began in 2013, can be found at www.projectseatbelt.org and Chrysler brand’s Facebook Page/
TWC students volunteer at McMinn Imagination Library Tennessee Wesleyan College students joined in the fun by lending a hand at McMinn County’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library 10-Year Celebration on Saturday September 20. According to Amy Cinci Sullins, associate professor of Education at TWC and a member of both the Athens City School Board and the McMinn County Education Foundation’s Board of Directors, the participation by TWC students exemplified “outstanding Servant Leadership.” “Some ED110 students volunteered and helped tremendously with the children’s activities,” Sullins said. “I am so proud of these students and impressed with their maturity and work ethic.” Hosted by the McMinn
County Education Foundation, the celebration was held at Mayfield Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch in Athens. Several state and local dignitaries were in attendance, including Tennessee’s First Lady Crissy Haslam, who is an advocate for early literacy. The McMinn County Education Foundation has
worked with the Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation to provide free books to each child in McMinn County from birth through age 5 – a personal library of 60 books to children enrolled from start to finish. Sullins noted Imagination Library has delivered more than 270,000 books to McMinn County children since its inception in 2004.

A poltergeist haunts the Panther Tales Players at Stone Memorial The poltergeist walks in Stone Memorial’s auditorium on Thursday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. during the Panther Tales Players’ farcical production of “Don’t Try to Wake Him, Hand Me the Shovel.” Tickets are $5 general admission at the door. In Pat Cook’s hilarious ghost story, a television news cast team, Ryan Crider and Tori Harris,
attempt to find the truth about the reputed haunting of the Billingsgate Mansion. Unknown to them, two crooks, Lucas Nastri and Nolan Long, are already there, attempting to unload a dead body. Then a pair of ghost hunters, Josh Spencer and Katie Cross, show up as well to investigate. Shortly thereafter, the two Billingsgate sisters, Carlie Mullinax and Christa
Simmons, enter the stage, none too happy with the newscasters. Then… and the first scene isn’t even over yet! With four slamming doors and a set of creaking stairs, you never know who, or what, is coming from where. Most of the time, neither do the characters in this fast paced comedy. For an enjoyable evening in the “spirit” of the
UT McClung Museum to host free family programs Families and community members are invited to explore and enjoy free family events throughout November at the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

• Continued from 1D she can still be successful with the younger student. They’re the greatest role model ever. I think that has strengthened our Reading Buddy program.” The program also includes a teacher-student connection so that the teachers can act as adult role models for “at-promise” youth, a designation Pinder prefers to the term “at-risk.” “Those teachers can check in with those students and check on any who may need help,” Pinder said. Another program helping students is the peer conflict mediation, which has been reinstated to partner older students with younger students to understand conflict and help learn how to work through conflicts constructively. The school also has a monthly service project to support local agencies and programs, and a character program for students. “We want our students to be life-long learners and good citizens,” Pinder said. “I think we have achieved the balance of meeting the needs of the whole child. We have very high expectations. We demand a lot because they can do it,” Pinder said. “But with that, we love our young’uns. We provide for them those extra things we want to see in our children as adults, as servants, as good community leaders.” Homestead earned reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools this past summer, following a site visit in February. The school was recognized by the SACS organization for seven powerful practices, including the principal and school leadership establishing practices for effective operation of the school, and that all members of the
R
staff take part in collaborative teams, going above and beyond expectations for professional learning communities. Most schools score only four of those practices. “We were very proud that we had extra practices,” Pinder said. Those collaborations help teachers plan their lessons effectively and keep students on track. All teachers take part in vertical planning, where they will meet with the teacher of their subject in the grades immediately below and above. “We pick up ideas from one another. We can learn a lot from each other,” Pinder said. The school also helps teachers build professional relationships early in their careers with a teacher mentoring program for all new teachers. These young teachers are paired with a veteran teacher for three years as they transition into their role in the classroom. “Veteran teachers serve as role models, a listening ear and, sometimes, just as their cheerleader, to help them through that time of adjustment,” Pinder said. That support of teachers coupled with high expectations for students and use of learning tools leads to great achievement for students. The school’s data finds 66 percent of firstgrade students are proficient or advanced in English and language arts, 71 percent of third-grade student, 68 percent of fourthgrade students, 64 percent of sixth-grade students and 59 percent of eighth-grade students. In math, 68 percent of first graders are proficient or advanced, 65 percent of fourth graders, 64 percent of sixth graders, 62 percent of seventh graders and 77 percent of eighth graders. In science, 81 percent of third graders are advanced or proficient. “We do have concerns,

within that, but we are proud of our data,” Pinder said. The school was the first in the nation to be recognized as a Lighthouse School of Excellence by Renaissance Learning, and earned the honor three years in a row. To earn the award, Homestead had to establish a one-to-one computing program for every student from second grade and up; set individualized goals for every student in areas of reading, math and writing; establish and maintain professional development for teachers; and enhance parental and community involvement in the schools. “It was a lot of hard work,” Pinder said. The school has a goal this year of reading 50,000 books. As of Oct. 22, 11,142 books had been read, with students scoring 92 percent on Accelerated Reading, and 6,668 math levels have been mastered in the Math Fluency program. The school also uses the STAR benchmarking assessment, and 82 percent of students were at benchmarks in reading and 92 percent were at benchmark in math. The school offers a Response to Instruction and Intervention that provides supports to students struggling with concepts, but also enrichment opportunities. “Not only are we trying to take care of the needs of that struggling student, but one of the highlights of that program right now is that our eighth graders are learning conversational German,” Pinder said of the enrichment program. The school offers before and after school programs through the Cumberland County Quality Childcare Program and 21st Century Learning programs to meet the needs of the whole child. Programs available include tennis, guitar, choir
and interpretive movement. “We try to do things beyond just remediation to meet the other interests,” Pinder said. The school offers a variety of club activities and activities. Guys Reads is a book club for the young men of the school to encourage reading in adolescence. The art club is active, as is the school band program. The school has a long history in the Cumberland Homesteads community and is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. “We have a legacy of hard work, integrity,” Pinder said. The school welcomed alumni at its football homecoming recently, with recent graduates and alumni a little farther removed from their school days. One participant played basketball the first year the school was open, helping to pick the school colors and establish many of the school’s traditions. “There is such Bulldog pride,” Pinder said. “Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.” n Heather Mullinix may be reached at hmullinix@ crossville-chronicle.com.
