County responds to stormwater story Last week’s edition went to press before we received Knox County’s response to Betty Bean’s story “McMillan farm issued notice of storm water violation.” James McMillan, long one of the most vocal critics of the county’s stormwater enforcement practices, alleges that Knox County was retaliating when it issued a Notice of Violation to his father, Charles McMillan. The notice pertained to construction work around a cell tower site on the senior McMillan’s property. Interim Public Works director Dwight Van de Vate’s response: “Over the past seven months, Stormwater Management has issued 40 Notices of Violation (NOVs) to individual property owners in Knox County on sites that are not under active Stormwater oversight. We have issued an additional 68 NOVs on sites that are actively monitored.

The purpose of these 108 NOVs is strictly a first formal notice seeking corrective action and to protect the natural resources of the county. This is why these notices do not include any fine or penalty, but simply serve to let the property owner know that there is a problem, and to document Knox County’s efforts to find a solution.

“The Law Director’s Office has stipulated that these notices should issue to the property owner, as any contractor working on a site is doing so under the authority of the land owner. We hope Mr. McMillan understands that the notice he was issued was handled in the same way as any other similar violation.”

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TDOT’s Martinez to join Haslam administration The Shopper-News has learned that local Tennessee Department of Transportation spokesperson Yvette Martinez will soon join Gov. Bill Haslam’s staff. In a Jan. 26 e-mail sent to reporter Natalie Lester, Martinez wrote that she is leaving TDOT to become the new governor’s press secretary. Before joining TDOT, Martinez was a reporter and news anchor for WBIR-TV in Knoxville.

Weather delays Dry Gap work

By N B Natalie t li LLester t Workers have been scarce at the Fountain City Road/Dry Gap Pike road project in recent weeks, but officials say the weather is to blame.

“Cold and wet weather moved into the area earlier than normal and has extremely limited the

work the contractor k th t t can complete l t (grade work, asphalt etc.),” said Knox County Public Works deputy director Jim Snowden.

Snowden says that the contractor, Rogers Group Inc., “did have a period late last summer where they weren’t as productive as we

“The contractor has assured us they will mobilize forces as soon as weather permits and complete the project on time.”

The project began last July and is scheduled to be completed by early May.

Burchett meets with critics of stormwater policy

By Betty Bean Last week, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett met with Shannondale farmer James McMillan, Clean Water Network director Renee Hoyos and CWN attorney Stephanie Matheney to discuss Knox County stormwater enforcement issues in general and the Notice of Violation recently issued to McMillan’s father, Charles McMillan, in particular.

The elder McMillan had a contractual agreement allowing T-Mobile to build a cell tower on his property, and the grading contractor had failed to install a legally required silt fence at the construction site until the work was almost complete. The McMillans say that the citation should have gone to the permit holder or the contractor, over whom they have no control. They are demanding an apology.

James McMillan is a frequent and vocal critic of county stormwater enforcement, and the McMillans and CWN officials charged that the citation was payback for the younger McMillan’s activism.

How did the meeting go?

Depends on whom you ask.

Burchett: “I think the meeting with Mr. McMillan and Ms. Hoyos went well and was very productive

Stephanie Matheney, James McMillan and Renee Hoyos after their meeting with Mayor Tim Burchett. Photo by Betty Bean for us, and I certainly hope it was productive for them. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future on stormwater issues.”

Hoyos: “It was a productive conversation. We talked about prioritizing sites – emphasizing sites that are harming property, neighbors or clean water. They indicated they would look at doing that. And they said the McMillan’s citation was not retaliatory.”

Matheney: “We learned the McMillan citation was one of 40 NOVs that went to what (stormwa-

ter manager) Chris Granju called ‘mom and pop’ sites last year. Why are they wasting time on that? We want them to work on bigger sites that are causing harm. Dwight Van de Vate (county engineering director) admitted there was no evidence that pollution had come off the McMillan site and gotten to the stream.”

James McMillan: “I keep hearing that all these foreclosed sites are a big enforcement problem in Knox County. Does this mean that they are sending demand letters to the banks that now own the prop-

erties and treating them like they have treated the McMillans?”

Knox County’s stormwater ordinance is a little muddy on the issue of where notices of violation should go. One paragraph says the notice should go to whoever has operational control over construction plans and specifications. Another section says that the director “… may issue a notice of violation to the permittee or property owner and/or any other person or entity having responsibility for construction work performed at a site development.”

James McMillan remains unconvinced and believes that his father was cited, and threatened with a $5,000 per day fine, because of the son’s persistent criticism of county enforcement efforts.

Hoyos said that Burchett agreed to consider her suggestion that the county do more wet weather inspections.

“The Network’s goal is to reduce sediment in the rivers, and there are a number of sites around the county that contribute sediment.

We would like for them to focus on correcting large sites discharging large amounts of mud to streams.”

And what about an apology to the McMillans?

“I don’t think so,” Hoyos said.

What’s happening in our waterways

By Valorie Fister

What were they thinking?

You come across a “What were they thinking?” incident every now and then, the kind that makes you shake your head and wonder. Mark Padgett, candidate for Knoxville mayor, provoked some head shaking by marching with young people from the Boys and Girls Clubs in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. (IRS rules prohibit nonprofits like the Boys and Girls Clubs from endorsing candidates.)

Political candidates as well as political officeholders are especially susceptible to getting caught tripping over their feet. Constantly on the public stage, subjected to scrutiny by enemies, sooner or later they’ll do something to draw unwanted attention.

Then there are the actions which seem neutral or even positive at first glance but may not be upon further reflection.

Mayor Tim Burchett recently enlisted the services of the very capable Gloria Ray to fashion a group that will make recommendations about what to do with 380 or so acres in the Midway community once planned for a business park. I know no one who does not like Ray and respect her abilities. She’s a dynamo. And the mayor can’t be faulted for moving ahead to get some workable ideas on how to salvage The Development Corporation’s $10 million investment. But if the people who fought so long and hard to keep the business park out of their community wince at some of the names on what we’ll call the “planning committee,” it’s hard to blame them.

Maybe it’s only natural that Mike Edwards, Todd Napier and Rhonda Rice become part of this process given their jobs with the Chamber and TDC. Maybe it’s unavoidable.

But the atmosphere can easily turn corrosive when Edwards and especially Napier are in close quarters with the opponents of the now-derailed business park. Still, we’re rooting for Ray and hope she and the people she brings to the table can make lemonade from TDC’s lemon.

No lemonade in this week’s Shopper-News, and (speaking from experience) any reader who spots what he considers a “lemon” will be quick to let us know. But we do have school news, features, and political news and views, so get a refill on that coffee and dig in.

Within the rippling waters of the winding, sprawling Tennessee River system, the aquatic life and sport fish remain plentiful enough to entice anglers, residents, tourists and commerce.

Yet there are species of freshwater fish that are dying out from reasons ranging from pollutants to radical changes in habitat.

Anglers today are wise to learn each season’s fish consumption advisories before throwing logs on the fire to prepare that day’s catch.

And veteran anglers often know some of the names of chemicals (PCBs, mercury, dioxins and chlordane) as well as they know the names of the fish that are found in our waterways these days.

But local scientists at Division Street in Knoxville are working daily to provide hope and a safe place for endangered and nearly extinct fish to thrive and reproduce.

“We’re learning about them while we can,” said J.R. Shute, co-director of Conservation Fisheries Inc. Shute and co-director Patrick Rakes are University of Tennessee graduates. They have spent the last 20 years working with the population of smaller fish that is often overlooked. Their names and their work are widely recognized in the world of environmental studies and efforts.

Their goal: to propagate endangered species in order to return them to their natural habitat once the waterway is again deemed safe for that type of aquatic life.

“Unfortunately, there are very few places we feel that way about,” Rakes said.

At any given time, their hatchery may house two dozen or more varieties of rare fish including rush dart-

The cause of fish kill and contamination in the region isn’t limited to one source.

And local and federal environmentalists have been and still are working to implement legislation and programs designed to reduce

pollution and restore our fresh waterways.

“Down here it’s widespread,” Shute said. He said environmental changes come in many forms, including deforestation of shorelines, impoundment of natural waterways, farming practices and development.

“The cows are in the creeks.” Shute said.

For hundreds of years, agriculture has taken its toll on the river system. While it’s not the only point source, farmers who use natural waterways to water livestock are adding to the pollution.

“As soon as we remove trees or move soil, we impact the streams with silt,” Rakes said. What people don’t realize is that property values are better with intact streams if they’re doing the right thing from the get go.”

Impoundment or damming of the river system for power needs has also taken its toll on the natural environment. The waters flowing through downtown Knoxville in the first half of the 1900s were once teeming with more than 100 species of fish. Today, there are at most two dozen species, Rakes said.

Rakes and Shute aren’t the only local environmentalists concerned with fresh water quality.

Scientists and environmentalists at the Knox County Soil and Water Conservation District have worked closely with farmers in recent years.

They distribute grant monies to promote better farming practices. Livestock pastures next to local creeks and streams are now fenced off one by one to keep animals out of the water.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is another agency with a hand in improving the environment. The massive utility’s reputation has suf-

fered as a result of the Roane County ash spill, but it regularly monitors reservoirs and streams for ecological health. TVA also posts fish consumption advisories.

TVA is also behind the reintroduction of lake sturgeon in the river system. The lake sturgeon is a prehistoric fish with a unique appearance.

It has bony plates along its back and grows up to 310 pounds.

“We started the program in the early 1990s at Norris,” said Travis Brickey, a communications officer with TVA. “We stocked 2,000 and monitored their activity.”

Since then, Brickey said, TVA has handed the project off to the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency and the Tennessee Aquarium where the program is continued today.

“We believe there to be 40,000 to 50,000 sturgeon in the Tennessee River from Knoxville to Alabama,” Brickey said.

Many environmentalists aware of the sturgeon reintroduction are eagerly waiting for the fish to reproduce in the wild. It takes about 15 years for the fish to mature, so scientists are looking for evidence in this and upcoming years. They are also a protected fish, and anglers who hook them are advised to catch and release them.

Any efforts to rejuvenate aquatic life in the Tennessee River system are steps in a positive direction for both fish and people. These are the steps that will allow Rakes and Shute to one day release their ark populations of small fish back into the wild.

“It’s a good thing,” Rakes said of efforts to restore the environment.

“Whatever works we don’t care,” Shute said. “As long as it offers protection for these little fish.”

ers, Barrens topminnows, chubs and madtoms.

They also monitor fish populations in their natural habitats in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia as well as Tennessee.

When Shute and Rakes encounter a fish species so rare that some of its population must be maintained in captivity, it is deemed an “ark population.”

One such species is the Barrens topminnow, which was the subject of Rakes’ master’s thesis.

Rakes and Shute have been working with that population since 1982. If it weren’t for their efforts, the species would be extinct.

In addition to housing rare species, Rakes and Shute study and collect the fish in their natural environments. They also monitor reintroduced species to determine their viability in that particular natural habitat.

The most common way they study their subjects is by snorkeling. They bellycrawl through stream and riverbeds to get a better than bird’s eye view of what’s happening in our waterways.

“Most people don’t know” what is happening in and to our rivers and streams, Rakes said.

He said if people really knew just how much humans are doing to disturb the natural balance of our rivers and streams, there would probably be more efforts to change practices.

Recognition

This week has been one that can be summed up in one word – recognition.

Last Thursday, I sat in on the Powell High School Dreams Foundation meeting as the group hammered out details for the Powell High School Hall of Fame Induction Gala scheduled for April 9. There is a separate piece in this paper detailing the ticket information and who the inductees for the inaugural class of 2011 are.

This list of names is a veritable “Who’s Who” of Powell.

Perusing the history of Powell, it is hard to believe that a Hall of Fame has not been established for graduates before now. After all, depending on how you count it, Powell High has been around in some form or another since the 1870s, first as Perkins High School and later

Greg Householder renamed for Columbus Powell in 1916 and at its present location since 1948.

The purpose of the Powell High Hall of Fame is to inspire the current crop of students. The plan is to use high school photos for the inductees and have a place at the school where their accomplishments can be listed so that kids can look at those pictures of youngsters the same age as themselves and ask, “why not me?”

I got to witness a little of another recognition ceremony on Thursday evening – the Powell High School Awards Night for last semes-

ter. Unfortunately, deadline constraints prevented me from staying through the whole program, but the folks at Powell sent me a list which also should be printed in this edition with all the kids’ names on them.

Powell has been doing this for a few years and, as Powell High principal Ken Dunlap told the crowd, “we just don’t recognize our kids enough.” And he’s right. The kids recognized last Thursday were the tops in their classes for last semester.

Sure, there were a few ties but bottom line is that if there were brain surgery classes at Powell High School and 10 teachers taught them, the award winner last Thursday was tops in all 10.

What impressed me was the number of kids who took top honors in more than one class. That’s impressive.

On Friday, I got to participate in another recognition event – the Powell Panther Football Banquet. A lot of the players were recognized as well as some of the parents who worked so hard this year. The good folks with the Touchdown Club asked me to make a few remarks on behalf of the Powell Business and Professional Association regarding the Man of the Year for 2010, coach Matt Lowe. They also wanted me to present to Matt a framed copy of the front page of the Shopper-News with his picture on it after the banquet back in December.

Don’t ask me how it turned out, though. As this is written, I have no idea since the football banquet was long past the bedtime of this edition. Check back next week, though I’m sure it went well. Those football banquets are well-run and well-organized affairs despite the inclusion of the likes of me in the mix.

Sports provide ‘state of the sport’ reports

By Greg Householder Powell Recreation, the volunteer group that organizes sports at Powell-Levi Park, held its annual meeting and elections last Monday at the Lighthouse Christian Church in Powell.

It was reported that until spring sports begin later in the year, the park will be locked up. The park has suffered some vandalism and has been used as a staging area for local break-ins.

It was also reported that Knox County will no longer offer secondary insurance for youth sports. Sports commissioners were advised to seek coverage through other means.

Officers elected for the Powell Rec board are: Marvin Webb, president; Shane Cooper, vice president; Carl Messer, treasurer; and Scott Pittman, secretary.

Baseball reported revenues and expenditures of more than $41,000 last year. Approximately 430 kids played baseball or tee ball at the park in 2010. Sign-ups for 2011 will begin mid-to-late February (date to be determined) and the season begins April 11. The park will be closed for practices on March 5 because of a Powell High School softball team fundraiser.

Baseball officers elected last Monday are: Joey Brewer, president; Shane Cooper, vice president; Andy Stover, treasurer; and the secretary position remains open.

Football reported spending more than $41,000 in 2010 while serving 235 kids – 174

More than 2,000 men from all over East Tennessee came together Jan. 22 to enjoy a steak dinner in the massive 60,000-square-foot Great Hall at the Crown College in Powell. The banquet was the kickoff event for the Faithful Men’s Meeting held through last Wednesday.

The Rev. Clarence Sexton, pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Powell and host for the meeting, started things off with a welcome and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett provided the welcome greeting.

The men in attendance rose to a standing ovation when Army Maj. Michael Anders from the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, the most deployed brigade in the U.S. Army, came to the podium and gave a report on the troops and to say thank you for the support and prayers given. Anders presented Sexton with a 3rd Infantry Division coin, an Army tradition reserved for friends of a unit or for excellence in service.

Following dinner and a song by the Tennessee Trio, the featured speaker, Mitch Campbell, M.D., took the podium.

Dr. Campbell spoke on the five things he learned from his patients: ■ Everybody wants to be somebody.

Money talks and Padgett walks Mayoral candidate takes money from Cocke County felon

News Sentinel under the headline “The governor and the felon.”

Even though Padgett had left the governor’s office to go into business for himself when Jason Grooms was arrested in separate incidents in 2007 for marijuana possession and gambling promotion, it seems equally unlikely that he could be unaware of this historical fact.

It would therefore have been prudent not to accept the Grooms’ contributions, but Padgett’s money-grubbing zeal apparently overrode his common sense.

It also would have been prudent for Padgett to have honored the request of Boys and Girls Club CEO John Lee and remove from his website a picture of himself and a bunch of African-American children from the Boys and Girls Club carrying “Free At Last” signs and standing behind a big “Mark Padgett for Mayor” banner. Lee fears that Padgett’s actions could jeopardize his organization’s tax-exempt status.

Mark Padgett File photo A week after Lee made the request, the picture was still there.

And finally, it would have been really prudent for Padgett not to have exploited the children in the first place.

A few other names on Padgett’s list have drawn some attention, as well: Mike Arms, Mike Ragsdale, Bill Owen.

Speaking of whom, sources say that Owen plans to get more involved in city politics than just giving money.

The former state legislator has been soliciting support to make a run for an at-large seat on City Council.

Is the county ready for Brown’s vision?

Analysis

This 15-to-1 disparity in party preference in the primary was likely skewed by the popularity of Burchett and is not an accurate indicator of party affiliation countywide.

But the general election result, 85 percent for Burchett, 8 percent for Maize, tells a tale: if you want a realistic shot at a countywide office, an “R” next to your name on the ballot makes a difference.

But Republicans are an endangered species in districts heavily populated

by African-Americans. In the 2008 primary election for the 1st District County Commission seat, Democrats outpolled Republicans by a better than 6-to-1 margin, 3,925 to 614. In the general election, Sam McKenzie thrashed Albert Baah, the Republican candidate and also an African-American, 71 percent to 28 percent.

The factors that determine success for countywide candidates are not likely to change soon. Republicans enjoy a sizeable advantage, and the majority of African-American voters poll Democratic. Arguably the most realistic path to the highest offices for minorities is one that could open them up to charges of cynicism or worse: if you aren’t a Republican, you certainly should sound like one.

Perhaps most importantly, that indispensable factor in modern elections, cash and lots of it, comes to candidates with broad appeal.

The political and demographic reality of Knox County being what it is, the road to high office is not an easy one for minorities.

But Brown’s words recall George Bernard Shaw’s famous and very appropriate lines: “Some men see things as they are and say why; I dream things that never were and say why not.”

Monty Howell: Professional educator Monty Howell, 61, held many jobs with Knox County Schools, and when he died suddenly on Jan. 23, he left many friends. Over time he taught science, served as president of the Knox County Education Association, moved to the central office as a science supervisor and most recently worked in human resources.

Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) – the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – have worked to wipe polio from the face of the earth. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually.

In 2009, fewer than 1,700 cases were reported worldwide.

But the polio cases represented by that ďŹ nal 1 percent are the most difďŹ cult and expensive to prevent. That’s why it’s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.

The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children – wherever they live – remain at risk.

Exercise without injury

Gresham Middle School ■ 6th grade, Whitney Booker; 7th grade, Annie Hulsey

By Dr. Donald G. Wegener From runner’s ankle and biker’s knee to tennis elbow and swimmer’s shoulder, there’s hardly a sport or exercise that doesn’t have an injury associated with it.

Despite these names, most exercise injuries aren’t limited to a single activity; they actually fall into just two broad categories. An understanding of these basic types may help you avoid injury, minimize the damage when you are hurt and help speed your recovery.

The stress and strain injuries that befall active people most commonly result from damage done to those parts of the body responsible for movement: bones and muscles; major joints like the knee and ankle; and tendons and ligaments.

This article will not discuss the injuries that physicians refer to as “direct trauma,” such as cuts, scraps, bruises, and broken bones – which usually require first aid and often a doctor’s care. By contrast, the injuries discussed in upcoming weeks can often be managed without professional help.

Don’t let concern about injuries keep you from exercising. A number of studies show that the benefits of exercise far exceed the risk of injury.

Next time we’ll look at how injuries occur.

guest speaker. Through interesting historical stories, including one from his latest book, “Knoxville: This Obscure Prismatic City,” Neely encouraged kids to use their talents. He urged them to continue in entrepreneurial footsteps like one young Knoxville resident, Adolph Ochs.

Ochs began delivering newspapers during his youth and progressed to become publisher of a faltering newspaper in New

York. With $250, Ochs became the publisher of the New York Times in 1896 and later established the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square.

Master of ceremonies and former Knox County Schools employee Marty Iroff told students they each had potential to do something great. He said these youth are our future and asked them not to wait too long, to begin building that dream today.

The whole book

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

(John 21: 24-25 NRSV) I have been curious for a while now about whether in the years of writing this column I had touched on every book in the Bible. I knew that I had spent more time in the Gospels than anywhere else, that Genesis and its treasure-trove of family stories had been a favorite, that the Psalms were a frequent source of inspiration, and that Isaiah’s poetry had embedded itself in my thinking.

I decided to do a survey of my writing. Now, I confess that, like Paul who couldn’t remember who he had baptized at a given church, I have not kept records as carefully as I intended to early on.

So I sat down with my ledger book, and I discovered that I have done pretty well in delving into even the more obscure reaches of Holy Writ. I have written about, or used as an epigraph, texts from at least 61 of the 66 books of the Bible, one book of the Apocrypha, one of the non-canonical Gospel texts (the Gospel of Peter), and The Book of God, a rendition of the Bible as novel by Walter Wangerin.

Not bad, considering I wasn’t consciously trying to cover the waterfront.

Of the five books I appear to have missed (won’t know for sure until my ledger book is complete), four don’t surprise me terribly: Ezra, Titus, 3 John, and Jude. The fifth one, however, I can’t believe!

Can it be true? How could I have ignored Jonah?!?

coming weeks. There is worth and value in all of the sacred writings. The church fathers who put together the canon selected these books because they had something to say that we need to hear and know.

So, I will take my omissions in the order they stand in Scripture: 1. Ezra, where we will learn the roots of the feud between the Jews and the Samaritans.

2. Jonah, where we will learn the lengths to which God will go to get our attention, and what’s this about those people of Nineveh “who do not know their right hand from their left?”

3. Titus, where Paul offers advice to a young colleague who has been sent to administer the churches in Crete.

4. 3 John, the only one of John’s letters written to an individual, and 5. Jude, which in the New Revised Standard Version, was almost named something else.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • JANUARY 31, 2011 • A-11

Bill Battle’s defining games A few days from now the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame will induct Bill Battle based on lifetime achievement. I can’t think of anyone more deserving.

Bill grew up as a good son of good parents in Birmingham. He was a good tight end on Paul Bryant’s first Alabama championship team.

He was a good husband and father and a good student of football under Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma, a good assistant to Paul Dietzel at West Point and even better under Doug Dickey at Tennessee.

He had so much charisma and potential, Bob Woodruff named him head coach of the Volunteers in 1970. Battle was 28.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

Dickey’s resignation caught the university administration somewhat by surprise.

Dr. Andy Holt, president, and Tom Elam, trustee, thought it might be a good idea to hire John Majors as replacement.

On second thought, it was decided to give the athletic director a free hand.

Dickey’s success had enhanced Woodruff’s credibility. He spent some in promoting the young assistant.

There were raised eyebrows but nobody fainted. Dr. Holt, recalling a previous era, did ask Battle if he was a drinker. Bill scored 98 on the pop quiz with “not often and not much.”

Battle got off to an excellent start, 36-5 through his first three and a half seasons.

He was obviously one sharp cookie. Surprisingly, the bright highlights of his coaching career came in his first season, third and fourth Saturdays in October and in the Sugar Bowl.

Tennessee intercepted a school-record eight passes and slugged sagging Alabama 24-0. Tim Priest picked three.

It was the first shutout of a Bryant team in 115 games.

Rival coaches, teacher and student, shook hands and hugged. It was a memorable occasion. It happened only once.

A week later, it was Dickey who took it on the chin.

His Florida inheritance was

Marvin West

flawed. It directed him back into Neyland Stadium, a deathtrap for his Gators. Bobby Scott punished the Florida secondary, 21 completions for 385 yards and two touchdowns. Gator quarterback John Reaves threw for two touchdowns – for Tennessee.

Conrad Graham and Jackie Walker returned interceptions to the checkerboards.

Rival coaches, mentor and aide, shook hands and hugged. Battle was buoyed.

He had one fine football team, maybe good enough to run the table.

The third highlight happened in New Orleans. Generals and jets and undefeated Air Force dominated a week of bowl festivities but the Vols seized the spotlight at kickoff and delivered a stunning 24-0 first quarter. Scott was MVP. Air Force crashed with minus 12 rushing. This may have been the best day of Battle’s time with Tennessee.

Key game in Bill’s second season was Tennessee 31, Penn State 11. This was Bobby Majors’ day of punt returns.

Vol defense shocked Lydell Mitchell, Franco Harris, John Huffnagel.

Tennessee was in the process of losing to Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl when a minor miracle occurred. The Razorbacks fumbled and apparently recovered but an official signaled Vol ball. Carl Witherspoon somehow came up with it. Curt Watson’s 17-yard TD run helped immensely. UT won 14-13.

Battle was very shrewd to acquire the services of Condredge Holloway. The coach was really smart in the 1973 Auburn game. The Vols went up 13-0 in the first half. Soon thereafter another flood of Biblical proportions fell on much of mankind and all of Neyland Stadium. Tennessee, choosing not to piddle around with a wet football, punted to

Some defining games were not as much fun. The Vols found inventive ways to lose five in a row to Alabama. An unexpected loss to Georgia left a larger scar.

It was fourth and two at the Tennessee 28 with 2:27 to go, the Vols hanging on to a 3128 lead but showing definite tendencies of not being able to hem up the Bulldogs. Battle called for a fake punt and run right – if the defensive alignment was so favorable as to make the first down almost automatic.

It wasn’t and the coach saw the problem and was yelling “Kick it, kick it” when the ball was snapped to fullback Steve Chancey instead of punter Neil Clabo. Chancey was tackled in his tracks. Georgia took possession and scored the winning touchdown with a minute to spare. Much later, Battle said this was the beginning of the end of his coaching career. Indeed, it was the definitive game.

A kick return and home loss to North Texas State in 1975 was devastating. The conclusion of that season was a home loss to Vanderbilt. The beginning of Battle’s final campaign was a 21-18 home loss to Duke. Coaching changes are rooted in such trends.

Bill’s definition of class was one of the all-time great exit lines: “Class is when they run you out of town and make you look like you’re leading the parade.”

Battle, a man of class, honesty, character, dignity, kindness and generosity, had a better than 59-22-2 record in business with the trend going up instead of down. It seemed that his decisions led to solid gold. Battle Enterprises became Collegiate Licensing and earned millions for colleges and the former coach.

by ING, represents some 200 schools plus conferences, bowls and the NCAA. Bill and Eugenia’s son, Pat, is president.
