City mayor pleads guilty to patronizing prostitution
BY Robert Sorrell
STAR STAFF
[email protected]
Elizabethton Mayor Curt Alexander pleaded guilty Thursday to paying a prostitute for
sex at a Johnson City motel last
month.
Alexander appeared in Washington County Sessions Court
in Jonesborough before Judge
James Nidiffer and pleaded
guilty under judicial diversion
to patronizing prostitution. As a
result of the plea, the mayor will
serve five months and 29 days of
supervised probation and pay a
$25 fee and court costs.
Under judicial diversion, the
charge will be expunged from
Alexander’s record if he completes the sentence without any
additional charges.
Capt. Mike Street of the Johnson City Police Department said
that during the morning and
early-afternoon hours on Friday, May 20, vice officers con-
ducted an undercover operation
regarding prostitution at the
Red Roof Inn on Broyles Drive.
Investigators learned through
an Internet website that a known
prostitute, identified as Marie
Angela or “Cookie,” would be at
the motel.
As a result of the operation, Street said three men
were charged with patronizing
prostitution and a woman was
charged with prostitution.
The mayor of Elizabethton,
Alexander, was one of the men
charged in the incident. A police
report identified the defendant
as Richard Alexander.
Alexander, 39, “did pay a
known prostitute $80 for sex,”
the report states. Alexander was
cited without incident and the
money was seized.
“We heard afterwards that
one of the men was the mayor,”
Street said after the operation.
The alleged prostitute was additionally cited for prostitution.
A police report states, “Cookie
did agree to have sex with an
undercover officer for $150.”
The 31-year-old prostitute
was from Carrollton, Ga., the
report stated.
Alexander has been represented by Elizabethton attorney
Stacy Street. “He wishes to put
this behind him, go on with
his life, go on with his job, go
on with his position as mayor of

Alexander: Adding CTE classes County School Board
at high school is cost prohibitive discusses tenure list

The Elizabethton Board of
Education discussed curriculum plans during their meeting
Thursday evening at Elizabethton High School.
Board member Catherine
Armstrong requested the discussion be included in the board’s
agenda for the night. She said
since the board has spent so
much time lately discussing
capital projects for the school,
she felt they could spend time
discussing the curriculum.
Armstrong questioned if any
new programs of study were being added to the city school’s curriculum, especially in the Career
Technical Education classes, and
what the new classrooms in the
CTE wing at EHS would be used
for. She also asked about classes
available for gifted students.
EHS Principal Danny O’Quinn
explained the extra classrooms
would be used to house teachers
at EHS who do not have classrooms and are currently floating
from class to class. Even with the
The Carter County School Board had a lively discussion regarding
teacher tenure, along with several budget items, during Thursday’s
meeting.
Each school principal in turn offered recommendations for tenure
by name, and Assistant Director of Schools Kevin Ward noted a few
changes in the list.
Board member Jerry McMahan said he would have preferred the
tenure list, along with the list of non-rehires, to have been presented
to the board in a workshop before being brought to the board for a
vote as part of the consent agenda. The board approved a motion to
accept the non-rehire list, but discussed the tenure list further.
McMahan noted that if a school should be closed, new positions
would have to be provided for tenured teachers. They would have to
be paid even if their current position is terminated.
Director of Schools Dr. Shirley Ellis stated that she felt the principals have put a lot of serious thought into their recommendations for
tenure. After a lengthy discussion, the board approved the tenure list.

Haslam signs bill placing caps on lawsuit payouts
NASHVILLE (AP) — A measure to cap payouts for medical malpractice and other civil cases is good for business in Tennessee, said
Gov. Bill Haslam, who signed the bill Thursday.
The law places a $750,000 cap on non-economic damages such
as pain and suffering. The cap will be raised to $1 million in cases
involving serious spinal cord injuries, severe burns or the death of a
parent of minor children.
Punitive damages are capped at twice the amount of compensatory
damages or $500,000, whichever is greater.
“We wanted to make sure we did everything we could to protect victims’ rights, but also have a predictable playing field for businesses,”
said the Republican governor.
Valerie Nagoshiner, acting director of the National Federation of
Independent Business in Tennessee, said the law should help.

“Small businesses are especially vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits,”
Nagoshiner said in a release. “It’s hard enough for them to defend
themselves against even the weakest of claims, but one outrageous
jury award or one frivolous lawsuit can be the difference between a
small, family-owned business staying open or closing for good.”
Critics say the law weakens company accountability. They say juries should decide damages.
“Everyone should be held accountable when they make a mistake,”
said Democratic Sen. Andy Berke of Chattanooga. “All our jury system
does is ensure that we have a fair way to judge that. Unfortunately, too
often in our society we are seeing personal responsibility and accountability go by the wayside.”

Builders start more homes
but recovery pace still stow
WASHINGTON (AP) — Builders broke ground on more new
homes in May, but not enough to
signal a recovery in the troubled
housing market.
Home construction rose 3.5
percent from April to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 560,000
units per year, the Commerce
Department said Thursday.
Economists say the pace of
construction is far below the
1.2 million homes per year that
must be built to sustain a healthy
housing market. Many creditstrapped builders are struggling
to compete with low-priced foreclosures.
Housing permits, a gauge
of future construction, rose last
month to the highest level since
December. But apartment and

Historic Marine base gets
1st-ever female general
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — For
the first time in its 96-year history, a female general is taking charge at the famed Marine
Corps training depot at South
Carolina’s Parris Island.
Brig. Gen. Loretta Reynolds,
who is also known as the first female Marine to ever hold a command position in a battle zone,
takes charge today at the installation south of Beaufort.
Parris Island graduates about
20,000 Marines annually and is
the only site where female enlisted Marines are trained to enter
the service.
Reynolds is a native of Baltimore and a 1986 graduate of the
Naval Academy. She has worn
the Marine Corps uniform for 25
years.
She is taking over from Brig.
Gen. Frederick Padilla, who is
taking charge of the 3rd Marine
Division in Okinawa, Japan.
In her new position, Reynolds
also will be in charge of the Marines’ Eastern Recruiting Region,
which covers the 23 states east of
the Mississippi River.
As a one-star general, Reynolds becomes only the third female general officer in the more
than 200,000-member Marine
Corps. The service has two twostar female generals, one in the
active duty ranks and another in
the Marine Corps Reserve.
Overall, there are 12,339 enlisted females in the Marines,
108 warrant officers and 1,224
officers, according to Marine
Corps figures. On its Parris Island
website, the service said training
for men and women is identical,
and that roughly 2,400 female
recruits go through it every year.
Reynolds trained as a communications officer and commanded Marines from platoon to
battalion levels in her more than
20 years in uniform.
She has been posted in Okinawa, Japan; Quantico, Va., Iraq
and Afghanistan, and was in
command of the Marine Recruiting Station in Harrisburg, Pa.
She also worked at the headquarters of the Marine Corps in
its communications and computer division in Washington,
D.C.
Reynolds’ last posting was
in charge of the Headquarters
Group for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp
Pendleton, Calif.
While serving a yearlong tour
of duty in Afghanistan, she oversaw five Marine battalions and
military company from Bahrain.
While there, she took a base that
had “fed, housed and equipped
more than 10,000 Marines and
expanded the base to handle an
additional 10,000 Marines and
sailors,” the website for the 1st
Marine Expeditionary Force said.
The site added that the command
slot position meant she was “recognized as the first female Marine to command battle space.”
Before her time at Camp
Pendleton, Reynolds was a division chief with the Joint Staff at
the Pentagon.
Reynolds also has attended
the Marine Corps University in
Quantico, Va., the Naval War
College in Newport, R.I., and the
Army War College in Carlisle, Pa.

Court says age
must be considered
in interrogation
WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court said Thursday that police and courts must
consider a child’s age when examining whether a boy or girl
is in custody, a move the court’s
liberals called “common sense”
but the conservatives called an
“extreme makeover” of Miranda
rights.
The 5-4 decision came in a
case in which police obtained a
confession from a seventh-grade
special education student while
questioning him at school about
a rash of break-ins in Chapel
Hill, N.C., without reading him
his Miranda rights, telling him
he could leave or call his relatives.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a
former prosecutor who wrote
the opinion, said police have to
consider the child’s age before
talking to him or her about a
crime. Courts also have to take
the child’s age into consideration
when deciding whether that confession can be used in court, she
said.
“It is beyond dispute that children will often feel bound to submit to police questioning when
an adult in the same circumstances would feel free to leave,”
Sotomayor said, adding there
was no reason for “police officers
or courts to blind themselves to
that commonsense reality.”
But Justice Samuel Alito, also a
former prosecutor, said the point
of Miranda was that police would
have clear, objective guidelines
to follow. Opening the door to
considering age likely will mean
that other characteristics could
soon be added to the list, such as
educational level, I.Q. and cultural background, he said.
“Safeguarding the constitutional rights of minors does not
require the extreme makeover
of Miranda that today’s decision
may portend,” Alito said in the
dissent.
The special education student, known as JDB in court
papers, was 13 in 2005 when he
confessed while interviewed by
police and school officials in a
closed room at his school.
JDB’s lawyer challenged the
use of his confessions, saying
his client had not been read his
Miranda warning. Previous court
rulings have required Miranda
warnings before police interrogations for people who are in custody, which is defined as when a
reasonable person would think
he cannot end the questioning
and leave.
The North Carolina Supreme
Court refused to throw the confession out, saying courts cannot look at age when examining
whether the boy thought he could
leave. It also said the youth was
never actually in custody since he
had not been formally restrained
and the door to the room was not
guarded.
The high court sent the case
back to North Carolina for reconsideration, saying it would not
decide the custody issue but the
courts should take into account
JDB’s age.
Sotomayor said it doesn’t
take college degrees or advanced
training to know when police are
dealing with an immature child.
“They simply need the common
sense to know that a 7-year-old is
not a 13-year-old and neither is
an adult,” she said.
Sotomayor was joined in her
opinion by Justices Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Stephen
Breyer and Anthony Kennedy.
Voting with Alito were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices
Antonin Scalia and Clarence
Thomas.
Groups like the American Bar
Association and the Juvenile Law
Center cheered the ruling.
“Today’s decision confirms
that judges, law enforcement
and other policymakers cannot
disregard the age of children who
come into contact with the justice system,” said Marsha Levick,
chief legal counsel of the Juvenile
Law Center. “The court has conclusively, and repeatedly, held
that children must be treated differently than adults.”
‘Barefoot Bandit’ to plead
guilty in federal court
SEATTLE (AP) — The 20-year-old Washington state man who
gained fame last year as the “Barefoot Bandit” was expected to plead
guilty to criminal charges stemming from his 2-year run from the law
in stolen boats, cars and planes, federal officials said Thursday.
Colton Harris-Moore will plead guilty today in federal court, the
U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle said. No further comment was provided.
Authorities say Harris-Moore hopscotched his way across the United States during his run, frequently stealing cars from parking lots
after landing at small airports. In Indiana, he stole another plane and
made for the Bahamas, where he was captured at gunpoint in a stolen
boat last July.
Harris-Moore earned the “Barefoot Bandit” moniker by committing some of crimes without shoes. He pleaded not guilty to a federal
indictment last week, but his lawyers had signaled that a deal with
prosecutors was close.
One of Harris-Moore’s attorneys, Emma Scanlan, confirmed
Thursday that he would plead guilty.
She declined to comment on the plea deal except to say it included
a sentencing recommendation and resolves the question of whether
he could participate in book or movie deals, with proceeds used to
repay victims. Harris-Moore’s lawyers have said restitution from his
run would total about $1.3 million.
Harris-Moore’s escapades earned him cult status as an authoritymocking folk hero, and federal prosecutors have expressed reluctance
to let him sell his story because it could compound the publicity he’s
received.
The federal charges stem from a spate of crimes in late 2009 and
early 2010, when Harris-Moore is accused of flying a stolen plane
from Anacortes, in northwestern Washington, to the San Juan Islands.
Authorities say he then stole a pistol in eastern British Columbia and
took a plane from a hangar in Idaho, where investigators found bare
footprints on the floor and wall. That plane crashed near Granite
Falls, Wash., after it ran out of fuel, prosecutors say.
He made his way to Oregon in a 32-foot boat stolen in southwestern Washington — stopping first to leave $100 at an animal shelter in Raymond, Wash. From Oregon, authorities said, Harris-Moore
hopscotched his way across the United States until he made it to the
Bahamas
In all, Harris-Moore is suspected of more than 70 crimes across
nine states.

Hecklers disrupt Weiner’s
somber resignation in NY
NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly
three weeks after Rep. Anthony
Weiner accidentally tweeted a photo of his bulging crotch, his final
act as congressman was to attempt
to resign with dignity.
Instead, heckling and catcalls
disrupted his news conference,
creating a noisy, circus-like atmosphere that overshadowed the
main event. It was an ungracious
end, a fitting metaphor for the
troubled congressman’s career.
Weiner had gone from the halls
of Congress to the front pages of
the New York tabloids, providing
ceaseless fodder as cringe-worthy
evidence of his sexually charged
online dalliances leaked out and
top Democrats pushed for his resignation.
On Thursday afternoon, the
46-year-old struck a sober tone at
the podium of the senior center
in Brooklyn where he launched
a campaign for City Council in
1992. He stood alone; his pregnant
wife, Huma Abedin, remained at
home while he officially ended the
only career he has ever known.
But like other developments
in the tawdry drama, the press
conference was marked by profanity and low-brow antics. After recounting the beginning of his political career and proclaiming that
there is “no higher honor” than to
represent one’s neighbors, he said
he initially hoped to continue his
work but then realized “the distraction that I have created has
made that impossible.” With that,
he apologized and resigned.
The seniors, many of them former supporters, groaned. Some in
the room cheered. One man yelled:
“Buh-bye, pervert!”
Another jumped up seconds
later and began to shout questions
about the congressman’s genitals.
The din in the room reached a crescendo as dozens of cameras pivoted, reporters gasped and some of
the seniors shouted for the man to
sit down.
Weiner grew slightly flushed
but continued speaking. A police
officer approached and told him
to quiet down for the remainder of
Weiner’s remarks, which lasted
just under four minutes. As the
congressman left the podium,
the heckler bellowed: “Will you
maintain your hot physique and
your smooth sexy chest?”
The man behind it turned
out to be a writer for the Howard
Stern Show named Benjy Bronk.
Many of the spectators said
the episode was a startling finale
for the once-promising hometown politician whose district
includes parts of Queens and
Brooklyn.
“It was pathetic and sad,”
said online publisher Binyamin
Jolkovsky, 42. “A guy built a career, made it three-fourths of the
way up the hill and then it all
collapses.”
Known as brash, liberal and
ambitious, the seven-term congressman had run for mayor of
New York in 2005 and had been
expected to do so again. He had
raised $4 million in campaign
funds so far.
On Thursday, he hinted that he
would somehow stay involved in
public life.
“I got into politics to help give
voice to the many that simply did
not have one,” he said. “Now I’ll
be looking for other ways to contribute my talents to make sure
that we live up to that most New
York and American of ideals: the
idea that leading a family, a community and ultimately a country
is the one thing that all unites us,
the one thing we’re all focused
on.”
He did not take questions.
Democratic Party leaders, concerned that Weiner could weigh the
party down in the 2012 elections,
had welcomed the announcement
after days spent trying to coax,
push and finally coerce the wayward politician into quitting.

Taiwan delivers tornado relief
donation to Southwest Virginia
GLADE SPRING, Va. (AP) — A
tornado relief effort in southwest
Virginia has received a donation
from a distant friend: Taiwan.
The Bristol Herald Courier reports Taiwan’s counsel general,
Jeffrey Wang, presented a $20,000
check on Thursday to the United
Way of Russell and Washington
counties.
Wang cited a long history of
friendly relations with Virginia
and the United States. Ten years
ago, a rescue team from Fairfax
County assisted when an earth-
quake hit Taiwan.
In this time of need in southwest Virginia, he said his country
wanted to offer help.
The presentation was made
in Glade Spring, which was hit
especially hard during the April
storms. The series of storms
caused nearly $38 million in agricultural losses in Washington
County.

Southern Baptists approve path to legal status
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Southern Baptist Convention
approved a new resolution at
its meeting in Arizona this week
advocating a path to legal status for illegal immigrants, in a
move that policy leader Richard
Land described as “a really classic illustration of gospel love and
gospel witness.”
The resolution passed
Wednesday also calls on Southern Baptists to minister to all
people and to reject bigotry and
harassment toward all people,
regardless of their country of
origin or immigration status.
“I think Southern Baptists
understand it’s just not politically viable to send an estimated
12 to 15 million undocumented
immigrants back where they
came from,” said the Rev. Paul
Jimenez, pastor of Taylors First
Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C.,
and chairman of the SBC’s resolutions committee. “It’s not humane either.”
A motion to strike the reference to a path to legal status
was narrowly defeated by a vote
of 766 to 723, according to the
SBC’s Baptist Press.
When the resolution was
amended to say that it was “not
to be construed as support for
amnesty for any undocumented
immigrant,” it passed by a wide
margin with a show of raised
ballots.
The resolution calls for “appropriate restitutionary measures” from any immigrants
seeking legal status. It also calls
on the government to prioritize
border security and hold businesses accountable for their hiring.
Many attending the SBC’s annual meeting in Phoenix where
the resolution was adopted may
not have known that it echoes
the denomination’s official position on immigration as outlined
by the SBC’s public policy arm,
the Ethics and Religious Liberty
Commission.
“I’ve been saying for a couple
of years now that this is where a
majority of Southern Baptists
are at,” said Land, the president
of the ERLC. “Some people in
the media have been somewhat
doubtful. ...Then this year we
voted 80-20 supporting it.”
Land said the fact that the
resolution only got broad approval after the addition of
language denouncing amnesty
showed that many people don’t
understand what amnesty is.
“Restitution is not amnesty,”
Land said.
All Southern Baptist churches
are independent, so the resolution is not binding on them,
but it does represent the will of
the Nashville-based Southern
Baptist Convention, the nation’s
largest protestant denomination,
with over 16 million members.
The resolution was one of several signs at this year’s meeting
that the SBC, which has been declining in membership and baptisms in recent years, sees ethnic
diversity as one of the keys to a
turnaround.
Delegates at this year’s meeting also passed a resolution
that seeks greater participation
among what it sometimes calls
its “non-Anglo” members in
the life of the convention, particularly in leadership roles.
And they elected an African-
American to the position of first
vice-president for the first time,
possibly setting up the Rev. Fred
Luter Jr. to be elected president
at next year’s convention in his
hometown of New Orleans.
Jimenez said the two resolutions were not coordinated but
both stemmed from the same
impulse.
“I think what it does say is
that we are now thinking of our
convention’s reach beyond just
... white Southern churches,” he
said.
The fact that the convention
was held in Arizona, a state that
many groups boycotted after it
passed a tough immigration law
last year, was part of the impetus
for the resolution, but not the
main part, Jimenez said.
“The most important reason
of all is that we see these individuals as people who so desperately need to hear the gospel.”

Editorial
Opinion
Because He
loves us, God
is hurt when
we’re in pain
Just how will we pay our bills?
Government built and maintained roads and bridges are critical to
the economic life of our country.
But paying the high cost of maintaining those roads — and building new ones — is a part of a long-running fight. Today, the federal
and state government charge everyone a per gallon tax on the sale of
gasoline and diesel fuel.
On one level, that’s a fair tax because those people who choose to
drive energy-efficient vehicles are rewarded by paying less than the
drivers of gas guzzlers.
That’s certainly one way to look at it.
Another way to look at it is that someone driving an econo-box
30,000 miles a year is putting more wear and tear on our roads than
the workingman driving a pickup truck 10,000 miles a year. But the
pickup driver may still wind up paying more in fuel taxes than the
econo-box driver. And if that econo-box driver trades for one of the
new electric cars (dubbed by some as “welfare wagons” because of the
government subsidies that are available), they won’t pay any tax at
all — while still driving the roads.
Questions about taxation fall into two categories: The first is how
much government we’re trying to buy. If the goal is to maintain existing roads and build new ones, the gas tax has to not only be spent just
for that purpose, but it needs to be adequate — that is, it needs to raise
enough money to do the job.
The second question is what to tax. As cars become more fuel efficient, we’re left with a tax on gallons of fuel sold that doesn’t raise the
money needed to maintain old roads and build new ones. Since most
people agree that a functional traffic infrastructure is worth the cost,
we have to find a way to pay for what we want and need.
One proposal making the rounds is to charge people for the number of miles they drive, not the gallons of fuel they buy. That would
immediately negate the tax benefit of driving an econo-box or an
electric car, and it would be an advantage to people who don’t drive
that much. But in a rural community like this one, those miles can
quickly add up.
One of the most controversial aspects of charging by the mile is
the government would need to have a reliable way to keep track of the
miles that people drive. Uncle Sam can’t do that with cars today, but
states like Virginia — which require both annual safety inspections
and vehicle registrations — can and do have the opportunity to track
vehicle miles driven.
In fact, a per-mile tax has been one of the ideas proposed in Virginia to come up with enough dollars to fund transportation projects.
As for a federal per-mile tax, it’s an idea that should be studied.
Tracking miles is one issue, but more importantly is how it would
affect rural drivers.
But as cars and even light trucks become more fuel efficient, it’s
clear that last century’s tax collection system won’t help us keep up
with this century’s infrastructure needs.

Public service — patriots or freeloaders?
Over the last 12 years, the
good people at the Gallup Poll
have at eight different times
asked the same question: “Who
do you regard as the greatest
United States president?” Each
time, one of three presidents —
Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy
or Ronald Reagan — has finished first.
While the Gipper and JFK
were both Irish-American contemporaries (Reagan was six
years older) — each with a love
of language, an infectious optimism and mastery of self-effacing humor — they were poles
apart in their appraisals of the
federal government and of those
who chose to work for it.
Contrast the following presidential statements: “The nine
most terrifying words in the
English language are, ‘I’m from
the government, and I’m here to
help.” Plus: “The best minds are
not in government. If any were,
business would hire them away.”
— Reagan

Readers Forum
Cox responds to Kent’s second letter
Editor:
This letter is in response to Cathy Kent’s second
letter printed in the STAR on Tuesday, June 14,
regarding higher property taxes and the new jail.
The problem I had with your first letter was your
insinuation that city residents were not paying
county property taxes or paying “their fair share”
for the new jail, which is what you said. The new
jail and the recent talk about tax increases at both
the city and county levels, are subjects that affect
both city and county residents and deserve our attention as taxpayers. I am only asking that you
please check your facts and thoughts before you
put the ink to them. Your first letter was not factual.

a proud and lively career. And
let every man and woman who
works in any area of our national government, in any branch,
at any level, be able to say with
pride and with honor in future
years: ‘I served
the United states
government in
that hour of our
nation’s need.’”
— Kennedy
Make
no
mistake
about
Mark
Shields the dominant
rhetorical perspective today.
Reagan’s “Government is not
a solution to our problem, government is the problem,” and,
“When you go to bed with the
federal government, you get
more than a good night’s sleep,”
is more widely popular and accepted than is the discomforting
Kennedy challenge to view and
to choose public service as a truly
noble pursuit or JFK’s now-dated
summons to “ask not what your
country can do for you; ask what
you can do for your country.”
You know the drill. The
vaunted private sector is efficient and competitive and
tough, while the disparaged
public sector has become a political pinata.
So how do we explain the
near-universally praised and
admired courage of Navy SEAL
Team 6, which went on the most
dangerous of missions in the
dead of night halfway around
the world into an armed enemy
stronghold? These men and all
their comrades are exceptional
professionals and proven patriots. But every Navy SEAL, every
Marine squad leader, every combat medic, every helicopter pilot
is also a public servant. That’s
right, a public employee.
Next time, you hear your local know-nothing mouthing off
about how people on a public
payroll just couldn’t make it in
the private sector, please interrupt and ask him exactly which
men and women in uniform in
which God-forgotten valley of
death in Afghanistan are in it for
the paycheck.
Why hasn’t business lured
away such exceptionally courageous and talented individuals
with signing bonuses or unlimited expense accounts? Don’t
tell me U.S. companies do not
need individuals with the unique
combinations of discipline, leadership, fortitude and intelligence.
Could it be instead that these are
Americans who truly do care
more about what they can do for
their country than for what the
Fortune 500 could do for their
personal net worth?
Let us understand that the
effectiveness of our government
and, to a considerable degree,
the success of our nation depends upon the quality and the
commitment of our citizens who
determine to make public service
— military or civilian — and
the common good larger than
their own self-interest. Aren’t you
glad that the heroes of Navy SEAL
Team 6 were “from the government” and were there “to help”?

* Read the verses each day to complete the Bible in 2011
Dear Rev. Graham: Do the
bad things that happen in our
lives hurt God and make Him
sad? I’ve had a lot of heartaches
in my life, and
they’d be a lot
easier to bear if
I just knew that
they made Him
feel the same
way I feel.—
Mrs. R.K.
Billy
Graham
Dear Mrs.
R.K.: Yes, I can
MY
assure you that
ANSWER God not only
knows everything that’s taking place in our
lives, but He is also deeply touched
when something bad happens to
us. The Bible says that Christ was
“a man of sorrows, and familiar
with suffering” (Isaiah 53:3).
But why does God feel this way
when we’re going through hard
times? The reason is because He
loves us and cares about us. God
isn’t indifferent to our hurts; He
loves us! And just as you hurt when
someone you love is hurting, so
God — in a far greater way — is
hurt when we are hurting.
This wouldn’t be true if God
didn’t love us — but He does,
and that makes all the difference.
The most important truth you will
ever discover is that God loves you.
We know this is true because He
sent His Son into the world to die
for our sins. Have you committed
your life to Him?
But God not only loves us, but
He wants to help us and encourage
us when hard times come. This is
why we can turn to Him in prayer,
and trust every situation into His
hands. Sometimes He answers our
prayers by taking away the burden
we’re carrying. But even if that
doesn’t happen, He is still with us,
and He’ll give us the strength we
need to see us through the hard
times. The Bible says, “Cast your
cares on the Lord and he will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22).

Arklie Hooten of Elizabethton has been involved in disaster response since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in August 2005. Having coordinated response teams in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Florida after three hurricanes in 2005, and in Alabama and Georgia following a series of deadly
tornadoes this past April, Hooten is currently helping in Joplin, Mo., following the massive twister
that destroyed much of that city in May.
Arklie Hooten: Coordinating
disaster response teams
By Steve Burwick
STAR Staff
[email protected]
Arklie Hooten of Elizabethton
has been involved in disaster response since August 2005 when
Hurricane Katrina devastated
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast
of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Sent to Mississippi by his
church’s mission organization,
he expected to assist the disaster
response team for about a week.
“The associate coordinator,
the man that I directly report
to at Mission to North America
(part of the Presbyterian Church
of America), called and said ‘Our
disaster response director is on
his way to Mississippi. Is there
any way you can go down and
help them for a few days?’ He
said ‘Throw some stuff in a duffel bag and get on down there.
I can see you being there about
a week, but don’t tarry because
you’ve got too much to do with
short-term missions,’” Hooten
recalled. “Katrina hit, and that
was the largest disaster that has
ever hit North America. So I went
to Mississippi and Louisiana and
developed 13 work sites down
there. Then four weeks later,
Hurricane Rita skirted up between Louisiana and Texas, and
four weeks after that Hurricane
Wilma crossed the southern peninsula of Florida. At that point
we had three major disasters
under way and our then-disaster
response director packed up and
went home. He said ‘This is overwhelming; I can’t do it,’ and left
town. I was like the guy who the
pastor calls on Saturday night
and says ‘Hey, so-and-so called
and can’t teach Sunday School
tomorrow; can you teach?’ and
then 10 years later, you’re still
teaching Sunday School. The denomination asked if I would stay
and coordinate the response. The
primary thing that I do is mobilize volunteers, and we are still
there. I still have two work sites
in New Orleans.”
Since then, Hooten has coordinated responses to every major
disaster that has hit the U.S. and
Canada, and also coordinated
the denomination’s response to
the earthquake in Haiti last year.
“Normally I organize about
10,000 volunteers a year,” he
said. “Social networking has
been a great benefit. Now we’re
Facebook, we’re Twitter, we’re
everything.”
Hooten said he coordinated
response efforts in Georgia and
Alabama after tornadoes ripped
through those states in April.
His current project is in Joplin,
Mo., which was hit by a massive
tornado in May that killed more
than 150 people.
“The Joplin tornado was significantly powerful,” he said.
“The town itself is about the
size of Johnson City, and there
were about 25,000 buildings in
town — houses and businesses.
Over 7,000 houses and 300 to
400 businesses were significantly
damaged or destroyed. The tornado touched down right at the
city limits. It was about a mile
wide and it took out six miles of
the town, which went to the other
city limit, and then lifted up and
disappeared.”
Born in Detroit, Hooten explained how he first arrived in
Tennessee.
“My mother is from Old Butler, and when they impounded
the lake her house was relocated
to just above the high-water
mark, not too far from what is
now Mallard Cove,” he said.
Hooten said his mother and
a friend hitchhiked to Michigan
after high school “to find spouses
and jobs.”
“My father is from Gainesboro, Tenn.,” he continued. “He
and some of his classmates went
to Detroit to find spouses and
jobs as well, so they met there
and subsequently I was born in
Detroit. I lived in the East Side
until the impending riots there
in 1967, and my family moved
to Sterling Heights, one of the
suburbs north of Detroit. I spent
many summers here with my
cousins, particularly with Shane
Moody, who is Richard Moody’s
son. Richard had Moody’s Barber Shop here forever and ever.
I just fell in love with the area,
and in junior high I made a decision that if the Lord would keep
me until I graduated from high
school I would move here, and
so I did.”
Hooten attended Tennessee Technological University in
Cookeville and started working
at Fish Springs Marina.
“I worked there for a good
number of years, and then
started Pioneer Sign Company
and had it for almost 20 years,”
he said. “During that time I became a member at Memorial
Presbyterian Church, which is a
local congregation of the Presbyterian Church of America. My
wife, Katherine Thomas Hooten, is a local girl. She’s one of
six children of Bud and Nancy
Jane Thomas. Nancy Jane was
a teacher in the Elizabethton
School System.”
Hooten said his sign company
made anything from license tags
to high-rise signs.
“We did most of our work for
the Department of Transportation,” he said. “That was our
best way to feed ourselves. When
Tennessee developed the logo
system on the interstates — the
blue signs that say ‘gas, food,
lodging’ — I built most of that
system for the state, and I built
the entire system for the state of
Kansas. Those were multimillion
dollar jobs. We made most of
our money outside this area and
brought it back to the area.”
Katherine works as a surgical
nurse at Franklin Woods Hospital
in Johnson City. Hooten said two
of Katherine’s siblings did missionary work, which influenced
him to get involved in missions.
“At Memorial Presbyterian, we
had a constant stream of Moody
(Aviation) students that came
through our doors,” he said.
“These young men and women
had been biblically trained and
had a heart to reach lost people,
and eventually that had an effect on me. I got very involved in
church leadership and became
a deacon and was later called
to be an elder. During that time
of sanctification, I met the most
obnoxious person that I had ever
met... It was me. I really grappled
with being someone who is not
theologically trained. I wondered
how could the Lord use me to advance His kingdom.”
Hooten said he became involved with the Presbyterian
Church of America’s global missions efforts.
“We put together mission
teams and did a lot of work in
Canada and Mexico,” he said.
“We have about a 17-year history of working with Native
Americans. We’ve done a lot of
work in Cherokee, N.C. Eventually, Mission to the World, which
is our global mission-sending
agency, recognized skills in me
that might be beneficial so they
called me as associate staff. What
that means is, let’s say they had a
local church that was interested
in supporting a team of missionaries on the field in a particular place. When that church
would send a team of short-term
missionaries to help the church
planting team, many times they
would send someone like me
before the team would arrive to
figure things out and then facilitate the team the whole time they
were there. Katherine and I were
grappling with what full-time
Christian ministry could look
like, and I had a 12,000-squarefoot manufacturing facility and
a bunch of employees, and a lot
of responsibilities. I couldn’t figure out how to do missions and
still maintain the sign shop. We
finally decided it’s got to be one
or the other, so we put the sign
shop on the market and within
60 days it was gone.”
Hooten said he continued to
pray that the Lord would lead
him in a new direction.
“Then the denomination
came calling,” he said. “We have
another agency called Mission

with Carrier’s driving home another runner.
The biggest hit of the inning came off the bat of Malikhi
Campbell whose two-run single
got them within a whisker of tying the score.
Bloomingdale loaded the
bases in their last at bat but Carrier struck out the final out that
swung the momentum their
way.
Austin Anderson and Simerly
showed patience at the plate by
drawing walks to start the bottom half. Treadway’s ball fell in
loading the bases. Carrier ended
it with a solid walk-off single.
Carrier ended the night going
2 for 2 with three runs scored and
two RBI’s in addition to picking
up the win.
“I was a little nervous on the
mound but coach came out and
told me calm down and after
that I started throwing strikes,”
said Carrier. “I wanted to get a
hit real bad to end the game and
I did. He threw me fastball, fastball and fastball. I hit that last
one pretty good.”
Danksch also added a pair of
base hits as did Treadway. Simerly had a base hit and three runs

If Locker
TitanS
is best
QB, he
will start
NASHVILLE (AP) — New offensive coordinator Chris Palmer
tells Titans’ fans that if Jake
Locker turns out to be the best
quarterback on the roster, the
rookie will start.
Palmer also is confident about
one thing in his running game:
Chris Johnson can score every
time he touches the ball.
“Chris Johnson is one of our
playmakers, and we want to get
as much out of him as we could,”
Palmer said.
The Titans put their offensive
and defensive coordinators on a
conference call Thursday with
season ticket holders in their latest outreach to fans during the
NFL lockout. Mike Reinfeldt and
Mike Munchak had a similar call
May 6, while NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell talked to Titans’
fans May 26.
Palmer noted coach Mike
Munchak and general manager
Mike Reinfeldt have declared the
starting quarterback job an open
competition. Palmer also recalled
being with New England when
the Patriots drafted Drew Bledsoe
and brought in a veteran to hold
the starting quarterback job until
they thought Bledsoe was ready.
“Ten days into camp, it was
very clear to players, the coaches,
the fans that Bledsoe was our best
quarterback,” Palmer said. “...As
this lockout continues, we may
have to pare down some of the
things we do, but I don’t think
it’ll affect our play on the field.
And when they’re ready to play,
they’re ready to play.”
Neither coordinator could be
too specific on some answers. The
Titans, coming off a 6-10 season, still have holes to fill when
the lockout ends and free agency
begins.
For Palmer, that includes the
veteran quarterback to work with
Locker and Rusty Smith, a sixthround draft pick last year. Kerry
Collins has been with Tennessee
the past five seasons and believes
he can play a couple more years.
Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck also will be a free agent, and
Reinfeldt knows him well from
his years working in Seattle.
Turns out Palmer knows Hasselbeck too. He said he’s known
Hasselbeck since 1986 when both
lived in the same town.

Horace Mann player Nate
Childress was allowed to make

he made his presence felt in the

It was a picture-perfect evening for women’s softball league
action as cooler temperatures
and less-humid conditions gave
the ladies a break from the recent
stifling heat that has enveloped
the county.
After the Creekers gained a victory with a forfeit in the night’s
first scheduled contest from Elizabethton Insurance Agency, Life

utilized some sizzling sticks to
take easy wins over their respective opponents in the evenings
last two games.

You know you’re in trouble
when your opponent buses in fans
to cheer for a victory and that’s
exactly what happened in the sec-
ond contest of the evening when
Life Care Center brought in several of their residents to give them
an added edge and they didn’t
disappoint as Life Care secured a
13-2 win over Beck Mountain.
Beck Mountain looked to generate some early success as Jessica Britt, Lisa Pierce and Jenny

before Life Care pulled the plug
on their rally.
Wasting little time, Life Care
used eight hits in the bottom of

Singles from Chelsie Wagner,
Jessa Dugger, Andrea McQueen

Massey helping shake up NHRA’s Top Fuel division Serrano
plans on
By Wes Holtsclaw
Star Staff
[email protected]
BRISTOL — Spencer Massey
is on a role.
In a division dominated by
the Tony Schumachers and
Larry Dixons of the world, the
28-year-old Schumacher Racing
Top Fuel driver has jumped two
spots in point standings with a
two-race win streak heading into
the Ford NHRA Thunder Valley
Nationals which begin today at
Bristol Dragway.
“It’s been pretty awesome,”
Massey said Thursday prior to the
NHRA Celebrity Golf Tournament
at Country Club of Bristol. “Obviously the car’s been on a role so
the whole team’s been jumping
around the shop.
“It’s been really nice to go to
these races and turn the win light
on. Moving up from fifth to second in points is pretty awesome
too. It’s something that takes a
whole team effort and having
a team gel. That’s what’s happened.”
Massey took the helm of the
FRAM/Prestone Top Fuel dragster after missing the 2010 season
due to the loss of a sponsor.
Thus far, Schumacher’s decision to place the second-year
driver into the pilot’s seat has
paid off. Massey joins a list of
guys, including points leader Del
Worsham, who are shaking up
the Top Fuel division.
“It’s a really good thing,”
Massey said. “Having new faces
and different cars is always a
plus. Seeing the same two cars go
to the final and win their races is
good for their sponsors, but it’s
not good for the sport and good
for the other racers because we
want to be out there winning like
they do.
“Now that we have a couple of
different drivers in that category,
we need more drivers and more
cars that do that. The more competition we have out there, the
better for our sports. It’s great to
have new faces out there, especially doing well.”
A key to Massey’s rebound has
been the lack of mistakes on the
track. The team has gone 23 consecutive rounds (qualifying and
eliminations) without smoking
the tires.
“Obviously we want the car to
go from A to B without smoking
the tires,” Massey said. “Right
now that’s something that’s
very cool for our team, knock
on wood, it’s been 23 runs in a
row without smoking the tires in
qualifying or eliminations and
that’s something that’s hard to
say for any Funny Car or Top
Fuel team.”
Massey feels the conditions
are right for continued success
this weekend at Thunder Valley.
“It’s going to be cool,” Massey
said. “The trees always have lots
of oxygen for the air. There could
be some fast runs and that’s what
we want to do.
“When you come to a cool
track where the conditions are
perfect, it means the track is nice
and tight and you can put some
good numbers down.”
Enders: Turning Heads
To many, Erica Enders is
‘the girl from a Disney Channel
movie.’
Now that she’s reunited with
Cagnazzi Racing, the 27-yearold is the one turning heads in
the NHRA Pro Stock division.
Currently eighth in Pro Stock
points, Enders is inching closer
to a Pro Stock victory in the ZaZa
Energy Cobalt.
“I love it,” Enders said Thursday. “I’m glad ZaZa Energy is on
board and giving me a chance to
live my dream. We haven’t won
a race yet this year, but testing,
we have over 100 runs on this car
this year.
“When we tested in Bristol a
couple of weeks ago, it was pretty
brutal and hot. We’ve got a lot of
data and done some things we
didn’t have the budget to do last
year. Being consistent on Sunday
is the key to being successful this
year.”
Enders has already outdone
herself in qualifying this year.
After opening the season with
a 211.69 mph run at Pomona in
her return to Cagnazzi, Enders
delivered a blistering 213.57 mph
run at Gainesville during the first
qualifying session — the fastestever Pro Stock run in history.
“The conditions at Gainesville
were really good,” Enders said.
“We’re always set up to make a
pretty killer run in qualifying.
We knew the weather was there
and the race track was there. We
knew we could do it. I was pretty
excited to hear my crew chief
come on the radio and say we
went 213.57 and a 50 with a 2,
which were both my career best.
I’m so happy.”
Enders raced a limited schedule the previous four seasons, but
her return to a major team has
been a dream come true.
“It’s something I’ve always
wanted to do from the time I was
a little girl,” she added. “To have
the opportunity to drive one of
these race cars is truly a blessing.
I’m going to soak it all in as long
as I can because I know it can
disappear in a blink of an eye.”
Bernstein: Eyes on Bristol
When looking for momentum, Brandon Bernstein can always turn to Bristol.
The second-generation driver
has been to the final round at
Thunder Valley three times in
the eight seasons he’s competed
at the track with wins in 2003
and 2007 and a runner-up finish
last year.
The Copart driver currently
sits seventh in NHRA Top Fuel
points and is looking to get out
of an early funk.
“I think when you have success at a race track, you can get
that kind of confidence where
you come in a track and you
know you’ve won here before,”
Bernstein said Thursday. “You
know you’ve been to the finals a
few times. This track, historically
for our whole family — dad ran
a lot of times here and won a lot
of races here.
“It’s a great track and we enjoy coming to Bristol. It’s one of
my favorite tracks on the circuit.
I look forward to it.
“We’ve had a lot of first round
losses. Five or six races we’ve lost
in the first round. This Copart
team is really working to turn
it around and getting a lot of
those things fixed. I really feel
we’ve made a good turn here and
hopefully we can put something
together.”
friend Jeff Byrd, who was track
president,” said Bernstein. “Last
year I was able to visit with him
during the period of time he was
undergoing cancer treatment.
This year there will be a hole in
my heart and we will miss him
terribly, but we are looking forward to joining with Jeff’s family
and wife Claudia to pay tribute to
a very special man who was an
inspiration to us all.
“We will miss Jeff’s energy and
stream of never-ending ideas. He
was the consummate marketer,
merchandiser and salesman
and our sport owes him a debt of
gratitude. He was probably drag
racing’s greatest cheerleader and
one of the wittiest guys you’ll ever
meet.”
Copart Top Fuel driver Brandon Bernstein echoed his father
during Thursday’s NHRA Celebrity Golf Tournament at Coun-
try Club of Bristol, an event
supporting Speedway Childrens
Charities — a cause supported
whole-heartedly by the Byrd
family.
“It’s going to be an emotional
weekend for us,” said Brandon
Bernstein. “He was such a great,
great friend to our family and my
dad. Anytime you were around
him, you wanted to be around
him more. He had such a personality that you can’t replace.
It’s going to be really tough this
weekend thinking back on all of
the times we had together. It’s
bittersweet to come back here
and know this is where he lived
his life. “
Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan
is also dedicating the weekend to
Byrd, wanting to deliver a win in
his friend’s memory.
“Jeff Byrd did more for the
NHRA than anyone outside of
Wally Parks,” Morgan said. “He
and I go back almost 35 years
and he was the kindest, nicest
man you would have ever met. I
never met anyone who didn’t like
him. He was always great to the
racers.
“When he worked for Winston,
he put his heart and soul into
building up drag racing. And he
helped make Bristol the track it
is today. I really miss him, and
really want to win that trophy for
him.”

Byrd
< Continued from 8
during a special “Track Walk
with a Legend.”
Walking the length of Bristol
Dragway, fans and drivers will
honor the memory of Byrd prior
to Sunday’s eliminations.
“Jeff was a devoted fan of drag
racing and was loved by everyone
in the community—from those
who worked directly with him
at NHRA to the extended racing
community,” said NHRA President Tom Compton. “The role he
played working with us to bring a
state-of-the-art drag racing facility to Bristol and the legacy that
followed will always be remembered and appreciated.”
The track walk and weekend
will be especially emotional for
the Bernsteins and others who
were close with Byrd and his
family.
“Anytime we think of Bristol
Dragway, we think of our good
Tennessee
being his
last job
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Dave
Serrano is back at Tennessee
where he broke into the Division
I coaching ranks as an assistant,
and he doesn’t plan on leaving
anytime soon.
“I’ve come full circle now and
I plan on this being my last job,”
Serrano said Thursday at his introductory news conference. “I
hope to have success here. We will
have success. It may take a little
bit of time, but we will have success.”
Serrano has had plenty of success in the past 15 years. He was
an assistant at Tennessee when
the 1995 Vols made the College
World Series for the first time in
44 years.
He is one of only 11 coaches
to take two different programs to
the College World Series, first with
UC Irvine in 2007 and again with
Cal State Fullerton in 2009. Combined, Serrano took teams to six
consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament, including four straight
super regional appearances.
“He was here before. He understands Tennessee,” interim athletic director Joan Cronan said.
“We hired a great coach. We just
didn’t hire an average coach. We
hired a great coach.”
Tennessee needed some good
news after athletic director Mike
Hamilton announced his resignation June 7. Cronan was named
the interim athletic director two
days later, and the university went
before the NCAA Committee on
Infractions on June 11.
Chancellor Jimmy Cheek attended Thursday’s news conference but lefty quickly. Cronan,
the interim vice chancellor who’s
also helping oversee the merging
of the men’s and women’s athletics departments, said Tennessee
would like to have a hire made by
the time the football season begins but had no update.
“We’re looking at when the
search committee is going to be
released. I don’t know exactly
when that’s going out,” she said.
“We’re going full speed ahead,
but I don’t know exactly what the
timetable is.”
Tennessee made its third and
most recent trip to the CWS in
2005. The Vols haven’t been to
the NCAA tournament since. That
includes the four-year tenure of
Todd Raleigh, who went 108-113
record before being fired in May
after Tennessee failed to make the
Southeastern Conference tournament for a fourth straight season.
Serrano already is busy working, trying to contact all of the
committed recruits and each of
Tennessee’s returning players as
quickly as possible. He said he will
build the program on pitching
and defense with an aggressive
offense, especially running the
bases.
He also expects George
Bergeron, his top assistant at both
Irvine and Fullerton, to join him
on staff.

< Continued from 8
Beck Mountain just couldn’t
find a gap for the ball to get
through as they were sit down
three up and three down in the
top of the second inning.
Life Care pushed three more
across in their portion of the inning.
Singles from Baumgardner
(RBI), Sierra Wright, and Dugger strung together with doubles
from Wagner and McQueen
(RBI) helped to extend the lead
to 8-0 after two complete innings
of softball.
Good defense kept Beck Mountain off balance again in the top
of the third inning as once again
three batters were the minimum
faced in the half inning.
Life Care kept the runs flowing freely in their half of the
third inning as they plated four
more runners to go up 12-0 after
three.
Rhonda Mitchell, Jamie Cable,
McQueen (2 RBIs), Baumgardner, and Melissa Dugger added
singles in the frame while Wagner and Wright’s fielder’s choice
RBI’s helped to account for the
four-run rally.
Life Care tacked on a solo run
in the bottom of the fourth on a
fielder’s choice by Peters followed
by singles from Allen and Wagner
worked Peters across the dish.
Beck Mountain made sure
they wouldn’t get white-washed
as they would score two runs in
the top of the fifth, but it wasn’t
enough as Life Care celebrated
the win with their fans.
The Valley Girls.............. 13
The Believers.................. 0
In what started out to be the
makings of an entertaining contest turned into several moments
of concern for everyone in attendance after The Believer’s third
baseman Angel White was hit
in the eye after trying to field a
fly ball along the third base line
in the bottom of the second inning forcing White to seek some
stitches to close the cut and her
team with little in the tank after
the incident as The Valley Girls
shut out The Believers 13-0.
Things looked positive in the
top of the first for The Believers
as Whitney Murray, Logan White,
and Angel White singled but were
left stranded by the Valley Girls
defense.
It wouldn’t take long for the Valley Girls to score as speedster Kelly
Kincer roped a triple and came all
the way around to score on a throwing error from the outfield.
Misty Taylor walked, Cindy
Weaver rocked a double, and
Julia Profitt’s RBI single drove
home Taylor.
Courtney Byers and Haley
Carver added back-to-back RBI
singles to give the Valley Girls an
early 4-0 edge.
After working a three up and
three down top of the second,
the Valley Girls were back at it
as Dana Kincer slammed a triple
Today’s Sports
brought to you by…
and scored on Kelly Kincer’s RBI
single.
Hannah Banks laced a shot
to the fence and it was all Kelly
Kincer could do to stay a step
ahead of Banks whose feet barely
touched the ground on an insidethe-park homer.
It was then that Taylor lofted
a moon shot down toward third
base that ended up putting Angel
White on the shelf for the rest of
the game after taking the ball
solidly on her eye. With a lot of
emotion zapped, The Believers
tried to rally but just couldn’t get
the steam back in the engines.
The Valley Girls added a four
spot in the bottom of the third
when Jackie Campbell walked
and Kelly Kincer and Banks hit
back-to-back singles to juice the
bases.
Taylor then put a charge into
a Patty Taylor offering for a baseclearing, grand-slam home run
to give the Valley Girls an 11-0
advantage.
The Valley Girls closed out
things with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Jennifer Howell singled and
scored on Byers RBI single. Byers would score on a single by
Campbell.
Pam Bailey and Murray’s two
hits paced The Believers.

eran quarterback,” Palmer said.
“Who that guy’s going to be, it’s
too early to say.”
Fans quizzed Palmer on what
kind of offense he plans to run,
if he’ll throw downfield more, if
they’ll see the screen pass again
and if it’s time to cut back Johnson’s workload. The running
back was fourth in the NFL with
1,364 yards rushing in 2010, the
second-best follow-up by any of
the NFL’s six 2,000-yard rushers.
Palmer said he’s checked how
Johnson maintained his weight
throughout last season and isn’t
worried about his back handling
the work. On offense, Palmer
wants to be balanced between
running and throwing with the
run game remaining the same.
The coordinator would only say
the passing attack will be a little
bit different.
Palmer said Munchak mandated to him that the offense
work on the screen game. Palmer
said too often screens look ugly
in practice with players going
half speed and work better in
games. He estimated they now
have 15 or 16 screen pass plays in
the playbook.
Chase Young stepped up big
with a solid single that drove
home another.
Bojangles was able to erase
the goose egg on the scoreboard
with four in the bottom half.
Corey Garland and Cameron
Miller had singles and scored in
the frame. Zach Hyder smashed
a base hit that plated another
pair.
Three runs in the final two
innings allowed Horace Mann
to blow the game open and win
by double-digit just after the 11
o’clock whistle had blown.
Morrell had big night offensively going 3 for 4 with three
RBI’s. Maupin had a pair of hits
and pitched a complete game to
earn the win.
“We played pretty good at
times and hit it really well,” said
Maupin, who also recorded 10
strikeouts. “It’s fun to come down
here and play to try and improve
your game. I’m just glad we were
able to get the win.”
Lanthorn was 1 for 1 and
scored three times. Fair had a
pair of base hits. Childress, Kyle
Moore and Young provided one
apiece. Christian Glover scored
a pair of runs from his leadoff
spot.
Caleb Rice, Garland, Miller,
Hyder and Sam Beach had the
only hits in the game for Bojangles.
Saturday’s game will feature
Eagle Center taking on Erwin
at 10 in the morning. Avoca will
tangle with Bojangles at noon
while Horace Mann and Bojangles will close out play with a 3
o’clock tilt.

“I thought our kids came out
and played very well tonight,”
said Horace Mann skipper Rick
Walters. “Justin (Maupin) pitched
a good game and we swung the
bats good and made plays when
we had to in the field.”
Caleb Morrell, Justin Maupin
and Nate Childress all had base
hits and scored in the first inning
giving the “Policy Holders” a 3-0
lead.
Chris Lanthorn and Joe Hornayak made it 5-0 in the second
inning by reaching on a walk
and single respectively. Dalton
Fair drove home one with a single with Morrell’s sac fly scoring
another.
The lead expanded at 8-0 in
third with a two-run double by
Lanthorn highlighting the inning.

Bristol’s Mad Greek offers traditional favorites
Greek food is probably an
under-represented cuisine in
Northeast Tennessee, but the
Mad Greek Restaurant in Bristol
has been serving Greek favorites
for more than 20 years.
The restaurant was opened
in 1988 by Achilles and Georgia
Georgiou, who came to the region from the island of Cyprus in
the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to Greek dishes, the restaurant also offers pizza, pasta and
much more.
The restaurant’s dining area
is decorated with faux stonework
and Greek columns trimmed
with grapevines and ivy. Pottery,
archways and other Grecian ornamentation complete the decor.
There are also a couple of television sets mounted on the walls.
There’s also an attractive outdoor dining patio. Several diners
were taking advantage of a sunny evening to enjoy their meals
in the relaxing surroundings of
the al fresco dining area. Potted
herbs and flowers add some color
and greenery to the patio area.
A friendly server named Erica
arrived to provide menus and
take beverage orders almost as
soon as we selected a table and
took our seats.
On this occasion I was having
dinner with some family members, and we started by considering some appetizers to share.
The available options included
Spanakopita, the famous Greek
spinach and cheese pie, as well as
Hummus, Spinach and Artichoke
Dip, Tzatziki Dip and Dolmadakia, or Stuffed Grape Leaves.
Making this decision simple
for us was the fact that a Greek
Sampler Platter is also available.
We ordered the platter, which offers Stuffed Grape Leaves, Toasted
Pita and two containers of Hummus and Tzatziki Dip. For good
measure, we also ordered an ap-
petizer serving of Spanakopita.
The Spanakopita is a traditional Greek treat made basically
from a puff pastry with a filling
of cheese and spinach. This warm
and tasty appetizer featured flaky
layers of philo dough enclosing a
warm interior of cheese, spinach
and herbs. The appetizer portion
featured a single pastry sprinkled
with crumbled feta cheese and
herbs. Each member of my dining
party got to try a bite of this light,
tasty morsel.
Dolmadakia is made from
marinated grape leaves stuffed with
a mixture of rice, meat, herbs and
spices. The Dolmadakia at Mad
Greek Restaurant is served chilled.
There were three pieces served on
the sampler platter, which was perfect for sharing with other members of my dining party.
The appetizer sampler also
included the Toasted Pita with
dishes of Hummus and Tzadziki
Sauce, which is made from a
homemade mixture of yogurt,
cucumbers, garlic and herbs.
The Hummus appeared freshly
made and tasted good with the
toasted pita bread.
When we finished this sampling of some Greek favorites,
we began to examine the menu’s
entrees. The menu features Greek
specialties as well as pasta, salads, pizza, sandwiches, burgers,
calzones and stromboli.
We focused mostly on the
Greek offerings, which included
gyros and souvlaki as well as
several Greek house specials. I
considered the Chicken Souvlaki,
Mousaka, Greek Chicken and
Pastitsio, which is a baked dish
consisting of layers of macaroni
and ground beef topped with a
creamy bechamel sauce.
I ordered the Mousaka, or
Baked Eggplant, although I was
tempted by the Sirloin Steak, prepared in a Greek style with a top-
ping of sautéed onions, mushrooms and feta cheese.
One member of my dining
party ordered the Beef Tavas.
This dish is quite similar to beef
stew with Greek seasonings.
At the same time, other members of my dining party chose the
Greek Chicken, which is topped
with sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed onions, black olives and feta
and mozzarella cheese, and the
Shrimp and Veggie Alfredo.
These dishes, except for the
pasta, were accompanied by a
small Greek salad and served
with parmesan bread sticks and
a sweet marinara sauce.
The entrees are also accompanied by a side dish. Selections
for sides include Greek Potatoes,
French Fries, Mediterranean Vegetables, Mashed Potatoes. I chose
the Mediterranean Vegetables
— a medley of zucchini, yellow
squash, carrots, green beans and
onions, that are tossed onto the
grill briefly. They are also sprin-

to North America. It oversees the
affairs of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States and Canada.
Their primary mission is to propagate church planting, and the
PCA is recognized as the fastest
growing reform denomination in
the United States, and in the last
10 years, we’ve been planting an
average of 50 to 57 new churches
a year. That doesn’t mean net
gain, because you always have
churches that close or consolidate, but when you consider all
the reform denominations, we’re
still the fastest growing. We’re
still true to the reform faith and
we’re obedient to the Great Commission. We have about 1,850
congregations, and we’re primarily in the Southeast but are
advancing into the West.
“Anyway, Mission to North
America asked if I would be interested in joining their staff as
a missionary,” Hooten continued. “My role at that point seven
years ago was to develop from
the ground up a short-term missions program. We had a global

mission-sending agency, but
nothing in the works for North
America.”
Hooten explained that one
major goal was connecting
churches that had certain needs
with other congregations that
had the time, talents and resources to help meet those needs.
“If you have a church that can
be strengthened by having a team
come and help them reach their
community, then why shouldn’t
we be doing that? Some of that
was already happening, but there
was no formal mechanism in
place that could do the linking.
That’s what I was first called to
do,” Hooten said. “I was doing
that on August 29, 2005, when
Katrina hit.”

kled with crumbled feta cheese
and herbs. Another dining companion ordered the Greek Potatoes, which are deep-fried new
potatoes sprinkled with herbs.
The Greek Salads, which preceded the main dishes, consisted
of a blend of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers, cucumbers, hot peppers,
shaved carrots, celery, Greek olives and feta cheese, served with a
house dressing of vinegar and oil
or another dressing of choice.
The main dishes arrived at
about the time we finished the
salads.
The Mousaka, a type of casserole, might be best described as a
Greek version of Shepherd’s Pie.
Prepared with baked eggplant,
this dish is layered with ground
beef and potatoes, all topped with
a creamy béchamel sauce.
The Beef Tavas smelled vibrantly aromatic, and the sweet
spices gave the tender beef, which
is marinated in wine and cooked
slowly with carrots and onions, a
very agreeable flavor. I also sampled a bite of my dinner companion’s excellent Greek Chicken.
The Shrimp and Veggie Alfredo featured plump shrimp served
with mushrooms, broccoli, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes atop
a bed of fettuccine.
Throughout the meal, our
server proved mindful of our
needs, clearing empty plates from
a crowded table and refreshing
drinks when necessary.
After we finished our meals,
we looked at the possibilities for
a sweet ending. Dessert options
included Berry Italian Cream
Cake, Apple Pie, Carrot Cake,
Baklava, Tiramisu and Crème
Brûlée Cheesecake.
I chose the Crème Brûlée
Cheesecake, which turned out to
be one of the best dessert choices
I have made in some time. Served
in a pastry crust, the crème
brûlée-flavored cheesecake was
topped with a layer of caramel
sauce and served with three dollops of whipped cream and a
dusting of cinnamon. This lush
dessert is quite rich but not too
heavy to enjoy after a full meal.
Only one other member of the
dining party indulged in a sweet,

GEMINI (May 21-June
20) A successful person who
has your best interests at heart
might offer you an opportunity
to realize a second source of
earnings. It is likely to mean
more work, which you should
easily be able to do.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) Don't be surprised to hear
from several people who think
of you as a good friend. You
have more pals out there than
you realize, who want to share
some quality time with you.
Crossword Fun
By: Eugene Sheffer
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Whether you know it or not,
you've done your fair share of
what others call good deeds.
More than one person will
remember this, and will put
you on the receiving end for
a change.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) Don't go anywhere without leaving word as to where
you'll be and how you can be
reached. A couple of pals will
have some exceptionally good
information to share with you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
For those of you who have
been putting forth a lot of effort
on behalf of others, rewards
will begin to roll in. It could
turn out to be quite an impressive cavalcade.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) Don't discard any ideas
you get, even if some of them
are grandiose and totally different from what others concoct.
This kind of thinking is what
produces big things.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) Instead of following guidelines put out by the
establishment, follow your
own perceptions on certain
commercial matters of interest. You may spot what the
bigwigs fail to see.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) This could be quite a
day for you, with several pleasant surprises in the making.
You and your companions will
each in their own way be lucky
for one another.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) It behooves you to focus on
only the most important things
when it comes to choosing
which assignments confronting you are the most important
at this time.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) Regardless of how many
assignments you have to do
or which ones you think will
generate the most good for the
majority, you'll handle all of
your work quite well, because
you'll do your best.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) Before the day is over,
something extremely nice
is likely to happen, which
will please you very much.
Chances are it will have to do
with adding to your financial
well-being.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) The busier you are, the
more effectively you'll perform. When you start to accelerate, the more focused you'll
become, making both your
mind and body operate at high
efficiency.

Elizabethton,” Attorney Street said after the court
hearing. “That’s why he wanted it over with today
and that’s why we took care of it on the first appearance.”
Patronizing prostitution is a Class B misdemeanor. Attorney Street noted that the mayor appeared in a full courtroom, which he said was filled
with defendants facing more serious charges.
“It’s a B misdemeanor,” Street said. “He’d been
in more trouble if he had written a bad check or
had stolen a 10 cent item from Walmart. It’s hardly newsworthy except for the position he holds. Because of that, it is newsworthy,” Street said.
As for the mayor’s charge, the attorney said Al-
exander is taking it “seriously.”
Street indicated in his statement that Alexander
will not be resigning from his position as mayor.
Alexander has served on the city council since
he was elected in November 2004. He was first
elected as mayor in 2006. He was elected to a third
consecutive term as mayor in November 2010,
making him one of the longest serving mayors in
Elizabethton’s history.
Alexander works as a financial advisor with the
Edward Jones Investments office in Elizabethton.
He has also served as an adjunct faculty instructor
of accounting and finance at East Tennessee State
University since 2002.
