The simulator is being purchased from Redbird Flight Simulations in Austin, Texas for $86,484.99. Director of Schools Ed Alexander explained the funds being used were reserve BEP funds and were restricted which means they could not be used for teacher salaries or to maintain any positions. “This will be a shot in the arm for the CTE (career technical education) classes,” Alexander said. Aviation instructor Dan Mills explained the unit would have six screens with a 200 degree wraparound that would provide a more realistic image as if in a cockpit. A variety of training exercises could be completed on the simulator. These tasks can also be recorded and saved to be played back for students to show how they could improve. He said he would use the simulator as a reward for students who have completed all their classwork and have met all other expectations. He added he would also like to see the students have to qualify for the aviation classes through measures such as attendance, effort and participation at school. Mills said the simulator could be a revenue generator by offering training classes and refresher courses to members of the public with appropriate knowledge. He said he would also like to start a weekend training course. He believes the money made from outside endeavors would more than cover the cost of the maintenance contract that would start in the second year of the operation of the simulator. The contract lists a maintenance charge of $7 per hour of flight time. Mills said this contract would be good to have in the long run because the company would overnight ship any necessary replacement parts and could fix any software issues via the Internet if necessary. “We could subsidize the costs don’t like to talk about addiction’ by jason mullins star staff [email protected] Photo by Matt Hinkel School Board member Connie Baker sought permission from the board Thursday evening to continue using space at the City School Administrative facilities for a Community Information Center. Baker, who operates the center, was recently told she could not continue to use the space because of security concerns and issues regarding cleanup of the space. The board also approved a mowith outside use to cover the student use,” Mills said. “My perspec- tion to solicit bids for the renovation tive is that it should be at no cost to n See CLASS, 10A the students.” Crain elected new county school board chairman by jason mullins star staff [email protected] The Carter County Board of Education has selected new leadership for the next 12 months. School board members unanimously elected Kelly Crain as chairman and Ronnie McAmis as vice-chair during a Thursday afternoon meeting. Crain succeeds Bobby Blevins, who has served in the position for the last year. Crain said he was honored and appreciative of the school board’s support. Carter County Director of Schools Dr. Shirley Ellis updated the board following her attendance at the State of Tennessee Superintendent’s Study Council meeting in Gatlinburg earlier this week. Ellis and her colleagues from across the Volunteer State received an update from Tennessee Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman regarding the new guidelines for teacher evaluations. Ellis said n See CRAIN, 10A Index Photo by Danny Davis The Carter County School Board honored 32 students for receiving a perfect score on the 2011 writing assessments.

Krause Elizabethton Gene Simms Elizabethton Tony D. Williams Elizabethton James E. Smith Sr. Elizabethton Burgie Drug Store Larry Proffitt - Owner In part four of the Elizabethton STAR’s series on drug abuse and addiction in Northeast Tennessee and Carter County, a local drug addiction specialist discusses the definition of drug addiction, the growing problem of opiate and methamphetamine abuse and the difficulty in treating addiction. Dr. Randall Jessee is a psychologist and the Senior Vice President of Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation with Frontier Health. Jessee has been working in the field of addiction for over 30 years. He said alcoholism and addiction are not a new problem. He said drug abuse statistics will “ebb and flow over time, but it is always a consistent problem in American society.” Jessee said most people do not have a good understanding of drug addiction. He added far too many people believe addiction comes down to a lack of willpower or some type of moral failing. “We’ve learned through years of scientific research that drug addiction is a disease, just like cancer or heart disease,” he said. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services n See DRUG ABUSE, 10A 93-year-old man robbed and beaten in his RM home BY Robert Sorrell STAR STAFF [email protected] Investigators with the Carter County Sheriff’s Department continue to search for a suspect who entered a 93-year-old Roan Mountain man’s home, beat him and took a large sum of money. Deputy Tracie Phipps reported that on Wednesday at 11:47 a.m., an unidentified white male knocked on the door at 7959 Highway 19E in Roan Mountain and asked for a drink of water. Johnson allowed the man to enter at which time the suspect allegedly pushed the elderly man down. The suspect then reportedly struck Johnson in the head several times. Johnson begged the man not to kill him at which time the suspect stopped and removed the victim’s wallet from his front pants pocket. Approximately $20,000 was taken from the wallet. The suspect then locked Johnson in his house using a padlock on the side door. Phipps said that when officers arrived on scene she observed marks on Johnson’s head and he was bleeding from his nose. Johnson stated that the male parked a small black vehicle in his driveway. A friend of Johnson said she saw a small vehicle in the driveway but only thought it was a dark color. The suspect was identified by Johnson as being a medium built white male with short dark hair. He appeared to be in his 40s, Johnson told Phipps. Capt. Tom Smith said investigators went to the robbery scene and spoke to witnesses regarding possible vehicles and suspects. “We checked on several leads,” Smith said. The robbery investigation led officers to several locations in the Buck Mountain community of Carter County. Smith said he also went into Avery County, N.C., to speak to an individual. He added that suspects have been identified and interviews are continuing. The lead investigator in the robbery case is Jan Black of the Carter County Sheriff’s Department.

Church Food Pantry. Phillippi food pantry ministering to needs of community By Ashley Rader STAR Staff [email protected] Phillippi Missionary Baptist Church not only ministers to the spiritual needs of the community but to the physical needs as well through their Food Pantry. The church has had the pantry for at least 18 years. Associate Minister and Director of the Food Pantry Sonya Price said the food pantry was thought of by Deacon Hugh Collie. “It was his vision as a way to help people in the community,” Price said. “It has been standing ever since.” The church partners with Second Harvest Food Bank to provide the food items that are distributed to clients from the community. The food pantry provides a monthly food box filled with items such as canned vegetables, beans, rice, pasta and snack cakes. They also receive personal hygiene items once a month such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and other similar items. They also offer a weekly food bag with perishable items like fresh produce, bread, milk and eggs. The weekly food bag was added to the pantry close to nine months ago and is increasingly popular with the clients who receive food from the pantry. These items are distributed each Wednesday at 11 a.m. Price said there is frequently a line around the block of people waiting for these items. Pantry volunteers assemble 60 bags of fresh food to be distributed and usually have extra items to make another 20 bags if needed. Price noted the bags are wiped out in 15 minutes after the line is opened. The pantry is seeing more and more people seeking aid since they started offering the weekly food bags. Price also noted the economy has brought in more people as well. The pantry seen such a large increase in clients they had to institute a new registration system to keep track of how often the clients visit the pantry. “It used to be we could recognize everybody that came in,” Price said. “Now we see so many new faces.” Anyone is welcome to receive assistance from the food pantry. All they need is a picture ID and to answer some questions regarding the financial aspects of their household. Price explained that some of the items they receive from Second Harvest are purchased using United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding and it is a government requirement to keep track of that information. The pantry also offers a sick and shut-in program for residents who are not able to come out to the pantry to pick up their items. Price said there are 18 residents that are a part of the program and she visits them once a month to make deliveries. “I visit with them,” she said. “We sit and talk Photo by Brandon Hicks Associate Minister and Food Pantry Director Sonya Price readies canned foods to be placed in food baskets at the food pantry at Phillippi Missionary Baptist Church. and pray. I know they are appreciative and thankful for the food but I think they like the company when we come to visit.” The Phillippi Baptist Church Food Pantry is located in the parsonage at 200 Horace Leftwich Lane. The operating hours are Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. For more information contact the church at 543-1651. Animal shelter project moves forward, bidding set for Sept. 28 By Ashley Rader STAR Staff [email protected] Work on the new Elizabethton Carter County Animal Shelter is getting closer to having a start date as progress has been made in preparations for the new facility. Architect Joey White told the Animal Shelter Building Com- mittee he was working to finalize the specifications for the bids and hoped to have them ready for contractors who would be bidding on the project by Sept. 28. He said he was working to separate the different aspects of the project that would be donated or supplied by the inmate work camps. He requested that leaders in the project meet with him to make sure everything that was needed would be included in the specifications. During the bid process there will be an approximate one week pre-bid period where contractors can visit the site and can ask any questions they have about the project. When the request for bids is made the contractors will have about three weeks to submit their responses before the bids will be opened. City Manager Fred Edens updated the building committee that the memorandum of understanding between the city and the county had been approved during the City Council meeting last week. A copy of the memo has been forwarded to County Mayor Leon Humphrey and the County Commission will be voting on it in their meeting Monday at 10 a.m. Humphrey said he had hoped the bylaws for the board that will govern the new shelter would have been ready for this month’s commission meeting as well but they had been delayed and will not be ready until the October meeting. Once the by-laws are approved by the commission, the board for the shelter can be formed and the committee can advertise to hire the new director of the shelter. Elizabethton’s Director of Planning and Development David Ornduff said he has a likely prospect for the project manager for the new shelter and expected to hear something from them by the end of the week. He noted that if they were unable to do it he knew of other possibilities they could contact. John Bland gave the committee an update on the Parrots and Tails III that was held at the end of August. The fundraiser made $3,688.86 for the new shelter which was below the goal of $10,000. Bland said he knew they would be competing with the race at Bristol but he did not account for the Appalachian Fair which held family day on the same day as Parrots and Tails. He said they would be looking at changing some things next year but that there would be a new director and board to work with on those decisions. “I think the time of year it is held is good,” Bland said. “We may need to tweak the actual date. For people who just want to come and have a good time $20 a ticket is too much so we may look at lowering that to $10.” He added that planning for next year’s Parrots and Tails was almost complete. All of the bands are already lined up and they are working on adding more activities for children since those were a big hit at this year’s event. Chairman Mike Barnett thanked the members of the committee and those that attend committee meetings regularly for taking part in Parrots COOL DOWN DAYS rmine e t n e Ph t $75.00 t un 60 co 60 coun , des Inclu ntermine Phe Lipovite FREE ction inje Receive 10 minutes FREE in Aqua Massage Hydrotherapy Bed with every 10 Pounds of Weight Loss!

He said it was the highest turnout from that group that he had seen at any of the Parrots and Tails events. The committee heard from Danika Nadzan, director of East Tennessee Spay and Neuter. She said she had added a van and transport route to reach families in Roan Mountain. The van has been wrapped to match the ETSN bus. She noted she transported her 901st pet for spay or neuter surgery this week. There will also be an announcement later in the week concerning low-cost veterinary clinics for the area. The committee recognized Ornduff, who will be retiring as Director of Planning and Development for the city at the end of the month. Ornduff said he would continue to serve on the shelter building committee after his retirement. “Thanks for your time and effort that you have put into this,” Barnett said to Ornduff. “It has not gone unnoticed. We consider you a friend.” The committee also discussed concerns over the break in and theft of a dog from the animal shelter. Community members asked if this was a frequent occurrence and what could be done to prevent it from happening in the future. Options that may be considered are improved fencing around the outdoor dog kennels and security cameras. your hearing specialist CALL D.

This year’s fair will include 17 local agencies such as Coalition for Kids, Boys and Girls Club, Good Samaritan, Wellington Place, Johnson City Medical Center and Second Harvest Food Bank. Each agency will host individual tables with information about the organization, its role in the community and what needs it has for volunteers. The volunteer fair offers students and the public the opportunity to meet with individuals from these agencies and discover the numerous ways to get involved and make a difference in the community. In the past, the volunteer fair has been well received, and the positive feedback keeps the same agencies coming back each year. “We feel that the volunteer fair is important because it gives us a chance to connect the needs of the community with the talents and interests of Milligan students,” said Allison Nauman, who coordinates Milligan’s LINC (Linking Individuals to the Needs of the Community. “We hope students will enjoy the experience of service and get plugged into places they care about.” In addition, organizers hope the public will take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about organizations that appreciate and need volunteer support. “Milligan is proud of the reputation it has earned in the community for service and we hope that by extending the invitation to the local community, we can continue to build on that reputation and encourage others to establish this tradition of service in their own lives,” said Beth Anderson, director of Milligan’s Institute for Servant Leadership.

Open M-F 12:00 - 4:30; Sat. 12:00 - 2:30; Closed Sunday Grandfather Mountain hosts 41st Annual Girl Scout Day GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN, N.C. — Grandfather Mountain welcomes Girl Scouts back to the Mountain for a day filled with opportunities to hone their wilderness skills, play games and learn more about nature. On September 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Scouts can expand their nature know-how through programs that cover topics such as backpacking, orienteering, NASA climate science, hawk watching and Monarch butterflies. All Girl Scouts and their leaders will be admitted free of charge with proof of membership. Grandfather Mountain first adopted the Girl Scouts in 1971, beginning a long-standing tradition of a special day in September where girls would be invited to learn more about nature and the Blue Ridge Mountains in a handson way. The Scouts returned the favor by adopting Grandfather’s late mascot, Mildred the Bear, as an honorary Girl Scout and presenting her with a series of pins to mark her many years with the organization. “Scouts will love these programs,” said Chief Naturalist Katie Gray. “They have been designed to fulfill badge requirements and provide them with all the knowledge necessary to have a fun and exciting experience in the outdoors.” The day begins at 9:30 a.m. with Backpacking 101. Scouts will learn proper packing, gear and footwear for any hiking excursion. An Interpretive Ranger will then lead a hike where different techniques will be discussed. Participants meet at the Black Rock Trailhead. An orienteering class will take place at the Woods Walk at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. This is a hands-on workshop designed to demonstrate how to find your way in the woods with a compass and map. The girls learn to orient a compass, determine stride and distance and put their new skill to the test locating flags hidden in the woods. The class fulfills requirements for the “Finding Your Way” badge. Space is limited to 20 scouts ages 10 and up. Please call the Naturalist Department for reservations and details at 828-733-4326. At 11 a.m., a NASA Climate Science workshop will take place at the Butterfly Garden in front of the Fudge Shop. Scouts collect data using state-of-the-art equipment that will contribute to the understanding of earth systems and climate change. This data is analyzed by experts of the field. Habitat and Naturalist staff will be available from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Environmental Habitats to answer questions and share fun facts about the animals that call Grandfather Mountain home. There may even be a few surprise guests! At 3:30 p.m. Scouts meet at Linville Peak across the Swinging Bridge to participate in a hawk watch. This program provides information about raptors and the opportunity to catch a glimpse of one of these migrat- ing birds of prey. Also at 3:30 p.m., a Monarch Butterfly Program will take place in front of the Nature Museum. Naturalists will have caterpillars, chrysalises and butterflies to help illustrate the natural history, migration and life cycle of this special animal. Along with the many programs that the Naturalist Department will be hosting on Girl Scout Day, Grandfather’s trails will be available to the Scouts who wish to plan an excursion further into the backcountry. The Nature Museum, picnic areas and the Mile High Swinging Bridge will also be open. Admission is free to Scouts and troop leaders who present their Girl Scout membership card. Parents and families traveling with their Scouts will receive a special discount admission upon request.

They brought the cake to the fire department to honor firefighters who work daily to protect their communities. Every year since that tragic day in September of 2001, Cash Express stores in Kentucky and Tennessee have delivered cakes to first responders — firefighters, police officers and emergency medical service technicians — to show appreciation with a simple yet thoughtful gesture. Pictured are Cash Express employees Ashley Bentley and Linda Shupe presenting a cake to Elizabethton Mayor Curt Alexander and Elizabethton firefighters Steve Murray, Jerry Smith, Todd Montgomery and Brian Stevens.

STAR - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 - Page 5A Editorial Opinion Show compassion, kindness toward divorced friend Beating poverty back Here’s a question that sort of answers itself: Does anyone think that the U.S. poverty rate — which last year hit the highest level since 1993, spurred by recession-related job losses — could have seen any significant improvement by now, in the ninth month of 2011? Nope, we didn’t think so. On the strength of the numbers, there is a poverty crisis in this country. Poverty translates into suffering. That certainly adds another measure of urgency to President Obama’s attempt to overcome the recession’s stubborn aftereffects and get people back to work. Jobs mean paychecks that in turn can mean the difference between going hungry, having a decent place to stay, keeping the lights on and the water flowing. When paychecks dry up, expenses get cut to the bone — but it’s often not enough to provide even minimal food, clothing, shelter. Would that the kindness of strangers could be stretched far enough so that nobody truly had to go without essentials. Sadly, it can’t. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that in 2010, the poverty rate stood at 15.1 percent. It had not been that high in 17 years, and it was up a full percentage point from the rate in 2009. That signals millions of Americans who either can’t find a job at all, or who try to scrape by working at low-paying, part-time jobs with no benefits and no future. It signals many children who hardly have to be told to eat their beans when beans are all they have on their plates. In raw numbers, 46.2 million people in this country were counted as poor last year. The Census Bureau said that was the most people with incomes below the poverty line in the entire 52 years it has been publishing that statistic. Obama’s jobs and recovery plan is all about putting more money in folks’ pockets — working folks. That’s what’s needed to get the country’s economic gears turning again — and to lower the poverty rate, meaning Editor: I am the wife of a military service member and fewer people in desperate need in the midst of what we still like to think of very proud of those who fight for our freedom.

I know it’s been 10 years but we lost many heroes and many Americans that sad day. It was a very traumatic day which is still very emotional to many of us and I felt as if we should still be remembering those fallen while fighting to save others. I would like to say Thank You to those who did fly their flags at half mast in honor of those fallen, and shame on those who forgot those precious lives we lost 10 years ago.

Sincerely, The Staff of Tetrick Funeral Home School consolidation, but not by current commission I do agree that there are too many schools in Carter County and something needs to be done. With all the improvements to highways and transportation, consolidation is the answer to our school problem, but this can’t happen with the current commission. It’s all about them, not the county. L.M. Stout Carter County Dear Mrs. E.J.: A divorce is often like a death, and if your neighbor Billy is like most peoGraham ple in her situation she’s grievMY ing the death of her marriage ANSWER — even if she doesn’t realize it. And sometimes the best thing we can do when someone is grieving is simply to let them know we care, and to keep quiet and listen to them if they choose to talk. In other words, treat your neighbor the way you’d want to be treated in her situation. If you were in her shoes, you’d probably feel hurt (or even angry) if people ignored you or acted as if nothing had happened. And yet this often happens when someone experiences a deep personal tragedy such as a divorce — often people are embarrassed and don’t know what to say. Tell her you know she’s going through a rough time and you want to be her friend. Even if she seems uninterested at first, keep reaching out to her (without being a pest). Realize that the time may come when she will reach out to you. The Bible says, “As God’s chosen people ... clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12). Most of all, pray for her, and as you have opportunity encourage her to turn to Christ. God loves her, and even when we pass through some of life’s hardest places, God’s peace and hope can be ours. It’s true for her — and it’s true for you. ———— (Send your queries to “My Answer,” c/o Billy Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, N.C., 28201; call 1-(877) 2-GRAHAM, or visit the Web site for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association: www.billygraham.org.)

Elk Avenue • Elizabethton, Tennessee 37643 543-5522 Immanuel Baptist Church Immanuel Baptist Church, located at 205 Hunter Ave., grew out of a Sunday afternoon Sunday School class conducted by Elizabethton First Baptist Church in the old Kenmore Inn on West G Street. Later a mission church was started, and in July 1936, Immanuel Baptist Church was constituted with 40 charter members. Originally, the church was known as West Side Baptist Church, with the name changed to Immanuel in 1939. John L. Curtis served as the first pastor. The present building was constructed in 1940 with an education department and fellowship hall added later. The congregation meets at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday in GROW groups with morning worship at 11 a.m. Sunday evening services are at 6 p.m. and Wednesday services are at 6:30 p.m. Church of the Week STAR - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 - Page 7A Religion Pearce Chapel Free Will Baptist Church will celebrate 75th anniversary Sunday Submitted by Church The Pearce Chapel Free Will Baptist Church will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 18, with special services.

The church is located at 2831 Gap Creek Road in Hampton. The history of the church notes that in 1930 there was no church in the small community of Robertstown, located on the Gap Creek Road in Hampton. A few people led by Rev. Floyd Cole began meeting in an old brick house, which stood on the present home site of Russell and the late Gail Hodges. Later, Rev. Taft Swinger later started a brush arbor across the road from the present church. The congregation then moved to an old house owned by Jerd Richardson. The church history records that Rev. Garrett Hopson had a dream that “he planted a little peach tree beside the road and Moore’s Chapel FWB Moore’s Chapel Freewill Baptist Church will celebrate its 116th Homecoming at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18.

Harvey White, with New Covenant it grew into a huge tree with the prettiest fruit.” On Feb. 1, 1936, Elijah and Julia Pearce donated that spot of ground for the building of a church. The community came together and everyone donated materials and labor. Joke West gave timber and Dave Simerly gave windows. Old records reveal how every penny was spent, even to the nails in the building; a broom was 20 cents. Some gave only 5 cents, but all their efforts together built a church that still stands today, 75 years later. In 1936 the attendance was about 40. The collection was 10 cents and the treasury consisted of about $3. In the 1950s, Wednesday night attendance was about 10. “Perhaps, this is the fruit in the peach tree dream!” one member wrote Some of the founding families of the Pearce Chapel Free Will Baptist Church were: Pearce, Pierce, Taylor, Honeycutt, Hughes, Nave, Smith, Aldridge, Chesser, Johnson, Roberts, Vaughn, Vines, Bowers, Sheets, West, Hampton, Campbell, Crabtree, Andrews, Ramsey, Carter, Blevins, Oliver, Adams and Norris. Many of the families were uprooted when the Watauga Lake was built, and moved to the Robertstown community and surrounding area from Carden’s Bluff, Fish Springs and even parts of North Carolina. Pearce Chapel became a lighthouse in a dark world for these people, who had to sell their homes and move elsewhere. From the beginning, the church was a stronghold for the youth. Older members took the young people under their wing and taught them how to worship the true way. They trained and encouraged the youth to conduct the services. At first there were no full-time pastors. Preachers would come from North Carolina and the surrounding area once a month for services. The services would usually be on Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night. The rest of the time the church deacons and their wives would lead the services, preparing the youth for their future in the church and the world. A member wrote: “The church’s foundation was to honor and worship God Almighty Pearce Chapel Free Will Baptist Church and Jesus Christ, our Savior. The church was built through unity and a desire to help mankind. The outreach of this church has been tremendous. The Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ has blessed, saved and comforted many people. The elders trained and prepared its youth to continue the work of God. The church has produced preachers, teachers, nurses and other career persons that are blessed in service to others. The early members’ daily prayers and letters supported the soldiers and college students while they were away from home, church and families.” Pearce Chapel has always supported the Free Will Baptist Children’s Home and foreign missions. This past summer the youth of the church did a mission trip to Jamaica. The one common threat that holds the church together is caring for one another. Known as the “Church That Cares,” it is a theme that started 75 years ago and has continued to this day. A man cared enough to donate the land so that the community could have a church. Many members and families have come and gone through the years, however, several members of the original families continue to worship and serve God at the small country church, located by the side of the road. A number of preachers have served the church, some more than once. Pearce Chapel has always had talented musicians and spirit-filled teachers. The public is invited to join the congregation as it celebrates its 75th anniversary Sunday. “The Women of Genesis.” While the book of Genesis is primarily about the Patriarchs, the women of Genesis were very much involved with the men of Genesis. They are the foundational stories of faith and are fun. “We will look for what the stories meant when they were first told and what they mean to us today,” said Pastor Shuck.

It is also the hour of mercy and kindness of a landowner who hired them with generous wages. “The Bible reminds us that when it comes to desperation and need, it is always five o’clock somewhere, and wherever it is, there is God’s love and compassion,” wrote Rev. Raymond Amos, pastor.

Alta Cucina, a charming Italian eatery, has been serving some fine Italian meals since first opening its doors back in 1996. The restaurant offers intimate surroundings that encourage conversation. Framed art by local artists decorate the restaurant’s walls, which are covered by gold-painted wallpaper. The tables and booths are covered with deep purple cloths and candle votives offer soft illumination during evening dining. After escorting my guests and me to a table, a server delivered freshly baked focaccia bread and two saucers of olive oil mixed with a medley of garlic and fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, red pepper flakes and rosemary. The warm bread and the zesty dipping sauce provided something fragrant and tasty to enjoy while we studied the menu’s appetizer selections. The tempting meal-starters featured on the menu include Eggplant Mousse, Calamari, Crab Cakes, Shrimp Cocktail, Stuffed Portabella Mushroom and Fresh Mozzarella. The four members of my dining party decided to share an order of the Calamari, which was served on a platter lined by a large leaf of Swiss chard and accompanied by a dish of marinara sauce. The lightly breaded rings of calamari were fried to a golden-brown crispness and went well with the chunky, slightly sweet marinara sauce. The serving was also perfect for whetting the appetites of four diners. After enjoying the Calamari, we turned our attention to the selection of entrees. Main course offerings available at Alta Cucina include several pasta dishes as well as dinner specialties. Pasta selections include Sicilian Spaghetti, Pesto Penne, Meat Lasagna, Ravioli and Manicotti. Some of the dinner specialties offered are classics such as Chicken Marsala, Veal Parmesan, Chicken Cacciatore and an eight-ounce Filet Mignon. I considered Sicilian Spaghetti, Eggplant Parmesan, Ahi Tuna and Blackened Tilapia before I decided on the Chicken Parmigan. The other members of my dining party ordered Veal Parmesan, Fettuccini Alfredo with Grilled Shrimp, and Chicken Piccata. I got to sample some of the Chicken Piccata, which features a delightful tangy sauce over a chicken breast sautéed in olive oil and white wine with garlic, capers, lemon, pecorino cheese and mushrooms. This dish is served over a bed of pasta. Entrees are served with a choice of soup, house salad or caesar salad. Tomato Bisque was the Soup Du Jour. I chose to pair my main course with the Spinach Salad, which consisted of fresh organic baby spinach leaves mixed with cranberries, walnuts and plenty of feta cheese, all tossed with a homemade raspberry vinaigrette. The other members of my dining party elected to include a house salad and bowls of the soup of the day, Tomato Bisque, with their entrees. The House Salad consisted of mixed greens, tomato wedges, cucumbers, red onions, kalamata olives, roasted red bell pepper strips and a cube of mild cheese served with a choice of salad dressing. I was provided a spoonful of the rich, savory Tomato Bisque, which won my approval and that of my dining companions who ordered this delicious soup. Our main courses arrived just as we were finishing the salads and soup. I was pleased by the Chicken Parmigan. This traditional dish featured a tender breaded chicken breast covered with marinara sauce, parmesan and melted provolone, all served on a bed of pasta. It was a hearty and tasty main course. The Fettucini Alfredo with Grilled Shrimp, ordered by one of my dining companions, featured an ample mound of pasta with a thick and flavorful Alfredo sauce topped with pecorino cheese and an array of plump, butterfly grilled, tail-on shrimp. He remarked, and I concurred, that the succulent shrimp were cooked properly, and the sauce had excellent flavor. In fact, no one expressed any disappointment at all in these delectable main courses. After finishing our meals, we found we had some time for dessert before leaving for the movie. I chose a piece of Chocolate Toffee Cake while two dining companions chose to share a piece of Tiramisu. They reported that the Tiramisu was a light and refreshing way to end the meal. The Chocolate Toffee Cake, on the other hand, was decadently rich. This tall slice of rich, dark chocolate cake was covered by chunks of crunchy toffee. Both desserts were decorated with a criss-cross drizzling of chocolate and vanilla syrups. I needed some help finishing off this luscious dessert. Both desserts provided a great conclusion for some wonderful meals. If you are looking for a restaurant to provide a meal that can impress, Alta Cucina won’t disappoint. Let them know they were recommended. •••••• AT A GLANCE: Alta Cucina Italian Restaurant, 1200 N.

Everybody experiences sadness at some point, but sadness that doesn’t go away can actually be depression, a medical condition. Anyone, regardless of age, who experiences any FIVE of the following symptoms for two weeks or more should discuss it with a mental health professional: 1. Feeling of sadness and/ or irritability. 2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. 3. Changes in weight and appetite. 4. Changes in sleep patterns. 5. Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless. 6. Inability to concentrate, remember things or make decisions. 7. Restlessness or decreased activity noticed by others. 8. Fatigue or loss of energy. 9. Thoughts of death or suicide. ———— DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful hairdresser who helps not only me but also many of my friends and family members. She’s the sole support for her family and the sweetest person you could ever meet. The issue is her sense of time. There’s no problem if you’re the first or second appointment of the day, but after that she runs further and further behind. Yesterday, it took my frail motherin-law 3-1/2 hours to get her hair done because of the wait time. I was the first appointment at 7:30 a.m. and she didn’t make it into the shop until 7:40. How can I help her understand she’s driving her customers away with- out offending her? — CUTTING TIME IN UTAH DEAR CUTTING TIME: Your hairdresser may be good at styling hair but it appears she’s not a very good businesswoman. If she’s losing customers because she manages her schedule so poorly, tell her why. You will be doing her a favor. And please, before you bring your frail mother-in-law in for another appointment, call to find out how late the woman is running before letting your mother-in-law sit for 3-1/2 hours before even seeing a shampoo bowl. ———— DEAR ABBY: I recently bought a small travel trailer that I use for weekend fishing trips. My dog, “Goldie,” accompanies me on these short trips and sleeps with me on the only bed in the trailer. My wife, “Shirley,” is now expecting to go on some of my fishing trips with Goldie and me. The problem is, Goldie is used to sleeping with me, and I believe she should have first dibs on the bed since she was there first. When I informed Shirley that she’d be sleeping in the back of the truck, she came unglued. Now, Shirley and I are hardly speaking. Goldie is a young Lab pup who is my very best friend, constant companion and never nags. I think my wife is being selfish and inconsiderate, but I’d like your opinion.

CALL: 542-1101 Flu vaccine available at local health department Influenza, or flu, season is right around the corner, and the Carter County Health Department is ready to offer flu vaccine to area residents. Appointments for flu vaccine are currently being scheduled at the Carter County Health Department. Appointments are being given Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “It takes about two weeks to be protected after you get the flu vac- cine, so it’s a good idea to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available,” said Dr. David Kirschke, Medical Director for the Northeast Tennessee Public Health Region. “However, we will continue to vaccinate residents through the winter, or as long as we have vaccine available. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get their yearly flu vaccine as soon as vaccines become available in their community.” Flu shots (and/or) FluMist nasal spray vaccine is available through the health department. There will be a charge of $32 for each adult flu vaccine and a $13.70 administrative charge for children under 19 years of age, but may slide to a lesser amount according to income. Please call the health department at 543-2521 to book your appointment. Crain n Continued from 1A Huffman was in attendance throughout the threeday event. In addition to being available to speak to superintendents between sessions, Huffman also provided the keynote address. Dr. Ellis she was impressed by the fact that “everything he proposed we do in our systems is backed up by data and research. Everything.” The new evaluation system ranks teachers on a variety of factors. A total of 50 percent of the evaluation is qualitative, or based on observation while 35 percent of the score is growth. The remaining 15 percent is based on achievement. The scoring range is on a level of one to five. Ellis said administrators were initially told during training for the testing changes that “they would not find a teacher that will score a four or a five.” She noted Huffman has since revised the initial predictions on how well teachers will fare during the evaluations. Huffman believes the testing scores will fall into a traditional bell-curve, with about 40 to 50 percent of teachers scoring a three. Approximately 20-35 percent will score a four or five and the remaining 18-30 percent will score a one or two. Ellis said Huffman reported these projections make a good estimate of the distribution of scores, but that the actual distribution during the first year may vary, which means it could be a bit higher or a bit lower. The new evaluation system has come under fire from the Tennessee Education Association. Critics argue it is unfair to use standardized student testing scores as part of the equation to determine the teacher’s score. They contend standardized tests are a poor evaluator of a student’s base of knowledge and their ability to learn. The recent changes to teacher evalu- ations, along with changes to curriculum, earned the state a $500 million “Race to the Top” educational grant. Ellis said Huffman provided the reasoning for changing the teacher evaluation process. “Teachers need to fully benefit from regular, meaningful feedback,” she said. “This leads to improved student outcomes.” Beginning tomorrow, every teacher in Tennessee will receive an email from Huffman. Ellis said the email will provide educators with information and insights from the education commissioner about the evaluation process. “It will also reinforce the message that there will be a distribution in the final scores,” noted Ellis. Huffman also introduced his four strategic goals for the educational system in Tennessee. “The first two goals are aimed at students,” Ellis noted. “The commissioner wants to improve student access to effective teachers and leaders. Students should also have access to good schools. Teachers and administrators should have access to resources and best practices. And finally, teachers and administrators need access to information and data.” The school board also took time to honor 32 students in the Carter County School System for receiving a six on their 2011 writing assignment. Two students, Madilyn Elliott of Hampton High School and Allison Simerly of Cloudland High School, have earned perfect scores each time they have taken the writing assessments. Students are required to take the assessment in the fifth, eighth and 11th grades. Dr. Ellis said she is impressed with the hard work of the students who earned the perfect scores. Administration (SAMHSA), drug addiction is defined as “a complex illness characterized by intense and uncontrollable drug craving, along with compulsive drug seeking and use that persist even in the face of devastating consequences.” Addiction specialists with SAMHSA contend even though the initial path to using drugs is a voluntary act, “over time, a person’s ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised, and seeking and consuming the drug becomes compulsive.” Jessee said the disease affects so many aspects of an addict’s life, it is extremely difficult for healthcare professionals to effectively treat it. Jessee said a good comparison can be drawn between diabetes and addiction in terms of the chronic nature of the two diseases. “If you have diabetes, if a patient does not follow treatment indications, they will not have the right progress in fighting that disease. It will inevitably kill them if they don’t deal with it as instructed by a physician. The same is true with treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. The disease, if a patient doesn’t follow the guidelines from his doctor for participation in recovery activities, will eventually kill them.” Jessee reported teenage experimentation continues to be a significant problem in the United States. The newest figures indicate “the percentage rate of teenage drug use has increased between 12 percent and 15 percent. The continued use of marijuana and alcohol lead the way. The age of onset of drug use has also remained below the age of 15. There is also an increase in the use rate among the people between the ages of 18 and 25. That’s very significant because they have always been the highest use group,” said Jessee. He believes this is an important statistic because it shows there is still a lack of education and understanding among young people about the consequences that experimentation can potentially have on their lives. Jessee said nobody who experiments with drugs does so with the ultimate hope it will lead to abuse or addiction in the future. “I think it’s fair to say that young people who experiment with alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs or any other substance don’t do so with the intent of creating a drug dependency. That’s why pre-education and prevention are so crucial,” Jessee stated. Jessee believes prevention of drug abuse has to begin with parents. He said parents must be a role model for their children, otherwise peerpressure can lead to early experimentation. According to studies on teen drug use, those who identify with solid values, ethics and morals of their parents are less likely to engage in abuse of drugs. “Parents have to be a positive role model because experimentation is sold to teenagers throughout Class our society,” Jessee said. “On TV, on the Internet, in films and many other places, teens are told it is OK to experiment. It is OK to self-medicate to change your mood. In fact, drug experimentation is essentially a riteof-passage in our culture. That’s why the role of parents is crucially important.” He added even if a child experiments with drugs on a limited basis, those who identify with their parents’ values are less likely to have it lead to chronic use or addiction. Jessee said modern medicine has made numerous advances in the science of addiction medicine. He noted scientists have discovered once a person becomes addicted to a substance, their brain chemistry changes. He added if a person has a genetic predisposition to substance abuse, there is a much greater chance experimentation and recreational use of drugs will lead to chronic abuse and addiction. Jessee said the strength of a specific substance can also play a factor in determining the likelihood an individual will become dependent and, eventually, addicted to it. “Alcohol is a powerful drug, but it usually takes much longer for it to have negative consequences on a person’s life, although you can have a tragic event on your first use,” he said. “But with drugs such as OxyContin, crack cocaine or, especially, methamphetamine, they wreak havoc on a person’s body, their brain and their life much more quickly than alcohol.” As scientists make further discoveries about the anatomy of the brain and brain chemistry, the science of addiction is coming into a clearer focus. Jessee stated that alcohol and drugs like opioids are central nervous system depressants. “They are putting your brain to sleep,” he explained. “We now know the impact of these drugs.” Jessee added, however, there is a completely different impact to the body of an amphetamine user. He noted he has seen people come to treatment who were addicted to meth who looked 20 to 30 years older than their actual age. “When people are abusing amphetamine-based drugs, their brain is literally dying,” he explained. “It isn’t just being put to sleep, as it would be with alcohol or opioids. Methamphetamine creates a false sense of being able to do anything. The damage meth can do to the body is fast. It can cause significant damage in less than two months. If someone uses it for a year, the body is simply devastated. The substance being abused does play a factor in how long it takes to cause damage to the body.” Over the last decade, opioids have become the most widely abused drug in this area. Jessee said he does not have the specific numbers, but he estimates three-quarters of inpatients at Frontier Health’s Magnolia Ridge treatment facility in Johnson City are for people who list opiates as their primary drug-of-choice. He said Frontier Health typically uses inpatient treatment and intensive outpatient therapy for opioid addicts. He reported that on an average basis, most patients at Magnolia Ridge only stay for approximately 20 days. “That is enough time to get a patient through the detox process and to get a few days of group therapy,” he added. “Occasionally, we get a patient for 45 days, but that is the exception to the rule. The initial recovery process takes much longer than a couple weeks.” Although Jessee disagrees with long-term maintenance of opioid abusers with Suboxone, he does believe it can be used as an adjunct tool on a short-term basis, along with traditional therapy. “If Suboxone is used for longer than three to four months, it becomes another dependency for the addict,” he said. “Its use needs to be tightly controlled by the physician and not used any longer than what is absolutely necessary.” Most experts in the field of addiction medicine believe there are keys to obtaining a positive treatment outcome for the patient. While no single treatment regimen is appropriate for everyone, effective treatment needs to meet the needs of the individual. Many addicts also suffer from co-occuring mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Jessee said it is possible to receive treatment for both issues and help the addict get back to leading a normal life. When possible, the addict’s family should be involved in the recovery process. Jessee said drug addiction affects the other members of a family just as much as it does the drug user. Most experts recommend families get involved with programs such as Al-Anon or Celebrate Recovery, a Christian-based program which embraces the 12-step process initially created by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Jessee believes one of the greatest obstacles to addiction treatment is the fact that many people are uncomfortable about it. “People don’t like to talk about addiction,” Jessee said. “They would rather talk about diabetes. They consider drug addiction to be a ‘dirty disease.’ But people need to know when you finally get someone into treatment, things can begin to change. We get a person in here and we work to find the truth about their disease. The truth is the only thing of any value in the recovery process. All of a sudden, they start to realize they can’t blame anyone else for their addiction but themselves. One they do that, they see that they need to stand up and be counted. Individual responsibility is a vital part of the recovery process.” n Continued from 1A of the old gymnasium area at East Side Elementary to be made into three classrooms and meeting and office space. Alexander explained the system needed to plan ahead for the next school year when the lease would run out on the current Early Learning Center. The old gymnasium and stage space is now vacant after the expansion at East Side Elementary opened. The board denied requests from Catherine Armstrong to solicit bids for repairs to Brown-Childress stadium and to gather drawings for additional classrooms at T.A. Dugger Junior High School. She said she knew a lot of work needed to be done but thought they could do the work in steps to get things going. Both requests were denied on a 3-2 vote because the board had already approved a five-year capital plan and the majority felt it was the best course of action to stick with the plan for the time being. Armstrong and Connie Baker voted in favor of the requests while Chairman Matt Cooter, Kim Birchfield and Rita Booher voted against the items. The board also heard from Baker, Armstrong and Shawntelle Horton concerning the Community Information Center. Baker operates the Center and had been using the city school system’s administration office to house the different programs offered through it. However, recently she was told the Center could not continue to use the space because of security concerns along with issues regarding cleanup of the space. Baker, Armstrong and Horton addressed the board during the time for public comments and asked that the center be allowed to continue to use the administration building. Horton worked with the program while she was a student at East Tennessee State University. Baker also asked for a board vote of support of the program that would allow it to continue using the space. She said she submitted her request in time for it to be included in the agenda but that it was not included. Booher said she was not comfortable with voting on the matter since it was just brought to them at the start of the meeting. She said she would like time to research what other systems do concerning the use of their administration buildings by community groups. Birchfield agreed that he would like more time to consider the issue before voting. Cooter said no one was questioning the merits of the program. He said there were two concerns at hand, one was what did or didn’t happen at the building while being used and the other was that it had generally been left up to the administration to determine whether a facility use application would be accepted. He said if the board voted on this then it would open them up to voting on every facility use application the system received. Baker said the building had historically been used by the community. She said she would not mind to wait another month to decide. The matter will be included on next month’s agenda. Friday, September 16, 2011 B (423) 542-1545 • www.starhq.com Sports: [email protected] Florida’s Floyd back in time for Vols, Bray GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida’s Sharrif Floyd watched from the sideline the first two games, unable to change his situation, unable to help his defense. The sophomore defensive lineman sat out the season opener while under NCAA investigation, then missed another game after the governing body ruled he received $2,700 from an individual not associated with the university. He was orUT at Florida dered to sit Saturday, 3:30 p.m. two games (CBS) and arrange to repay the money to charity. The decision devastated Floyd, who had tears in his eyes as coach Will Muschamp told him he couldn’t play. His return against rival Tennessee on Saturday could be equally emotional. “Getting Sharrif Floyd, that does a lot for our team,” teammate Lerentee McCray said. “Just motivation, just bringing our brother along. ... It gives us a real big boost going into an SEC game.” A much-needed boost, too. The 16th-ranked Gators (20) failed to record a sack in last week’s game against UAB, and Muschamp has repeatedly said he wants more pressure from his defensive ends. Floyd’s return should help. He played in every game last year and emerged from fall practice as one of the team’s most versatile and disruptive defenders. “He’s a great athlete, real strong guy, real powerful,” Gators center Jonotthan Harrison said. “Sharrif is an amazing pass rusher. He’s real good, real versatile, everything on the line. He’s still pretty quick for a big guy.” The Volunteers (2-0) have noticed. Coach Derek Dooley said the Gators “probably have the most talented defensive line in the country” with Floyd, McCray, Dominique Easley, Jaye Howard, Omar Hunter and Ronald Powell. “We’re going to have to block for these guys,” Dooley said. “It doesn’t matter how open you are, if you can’t deliver the ball to them it doesn’t matter. That’s going to be our biggest challenge. This is as athletic and big as a defensive front as you’ll see in college football. They’re good. They just roll right through the offensive line.” Tennessee rolled its first two opponents, scoring at least 40 points in both games as sophomore Tyler Bray completed 79 percent of his passes for 698 yards and seven touchdowns. Last week, Bray became the second player in school history to threw for 400 yards in a game. After putting up gaudy numbers against Montana and Cincinnati, Bray now leads the conference in passing yards, total offense and pass efficiency. “He has certainly played two very good football games,” Dooley said. “He has put a big investment in trying to be good. You see it on the practice field, you see it in the time he’s putting in outside of practice.

Cloudland visited J.C. Campbell Stadium and pounded the Bulldogs 20-0 in Little Watauga Conference action. The Highlanders (3-0) rushed for 357 yards, and limited Hampton (4-1) to 48 on the ground. “We knew we would have our hands full with them anyway,” Hampton coach Daniel Arnett said. “They’ve got a good team.” The Highlanders’ Colby Birchfield rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Austin Whitehead picked up 126 yards on nine touches and one TD, while also recording 13 tackles. “We have to execute a little better,” Cloudland coach Randy Birchfield said. “We turned the ball over, fumbling from the snap, and too many penalties. But our defense played real well. If Elvis Presley were still alive, his advice to Happy Valley would be “it’s now or never.” Tonight, the Warriors (0-1 Three Rivers Conference, 2-2 overall) need a win if they expect to try and duplicate last year’s playoff run. Standing in the way is out-of-county rival Unicoi County, and so far it’s been a rollercoaster ride for the Blue Devils. Unicoi (1-0, 2-2) owns lopsided road wins over Chuckey-Doak 28-10 and Johnson County 33-14, but have also been taken to the woodshed a couple of times at home. South Greene manhandled them 35-0, Hampton laid a 43-20 spanking on the Devils the last time out. It hasn’t been a picnic for the Tribe in their last two games. They’ve been outscored 70-0 in losses to Elizabethton and Daniel Boone over the past two games after defeating Sullivan Central 39-13 and Unaka 43-0. The lack of offense in recent games has left a bad taste in coach Larry Shively’s mouth. He said they’ve gotten back to the basics this week in addition to putting in a few wrinkles. “Generally, it’s hard practicing after a loss but Monday was much tougher after the loss to Boone,” said Shively. “Thank God we’ve not experienced that too many times. After we got out of the doldrums and hanging our heads the kids went back to work. We can’t expect anyone especially Erwin to feel sorry for us. We’ve had upbeat practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Everyone is ready to get back on the field and get this bad taste of losing out of our mouths.” The Tribe must overcome the bushel baskets full of turnovers they’ve committed in their two losses.

Junior striker Christine Hardin scored two goals, and had a third waved off for offside as Elizabethton rallied for a 2-2 tie with Greeneville on Thursday at BrownChildress Stadium. The draw keeps Elizabethton (4-31 overall) unbeaten in regional play at 4-0-1, but was a major step for the Lady Cyclones in proving they can stay with a state powerhouse. “This was for first in the conference so this was huge,” Hardin said. “We were tied going in and stay that way coming out, but we have never been this close to beating Greeneville. We kept our intensity through the whole game, even when they scored.” The opening portion of the contest was clearly in favor of the Lady Greene Devils as they were able to keep possession and had a couple of clean looks at the Cyclone goal. “We got back on our heels a little bit defensively in the first 10-to-15 minutes,” said Lady Cyclones head coach Bill McClay. “That led to them scoring a goal, but we got the equalizer fairly quickly — n See LADY CYCLONES, 6B Page 2B - STAR - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 SCOREBOARD SELECTIONS Rick Sheek WEEK FOUR Elizabethton 35, Sullivan North 24 Happy Valley 29, Unicoi Co. 28 Cloudland 13, Unaka 12 Hampton 44, Hancock County 6 Sullivan East 22, Johnson Co. 20 Greeneville 49, South Greene 15 North Greene 21, Cosby 12 Science Hill 39, David Crockett 7 D-B 50, Daniel Boone 21 Florida 38, Tennessee 31 Last week: 8-2 Season: 30-15 WEEK FOUR Elizabethton 32, Sullivan North 6 Happy Valley 27, Unicoi Co. 17 Cloudland 48, Unaka 40, OT Hampton 62, Hancock County 10 Sullivan East 28, Johnson Co. 14 Greeneville 64, South Greene 12 North Greene 27, Cosby 21 Science Hill 33, David Crockett 14 D-B 52, Daniel Boone 19 Florida 27, Tennessee 24 Last week: 9-1 Season: 35-10 WEEK FOUR Elizabethton 31, Sullivan North 14 Happy Valley 24, Unicoi Co. 13 Cloudland 19, Unaka 6 Hampton 48, Hancock County 12 Sullivan East 28, Johnson Co. 14 Greeneville 45, South Greene 16 Cosby 20, North Greene 19 Science Hill 60, David Crockett 13 D-B 41, Daniel Boone 21 Tennessee 31, Florida 28 Last week: 9-1 Season: 34-11 n Continued from 1B From staff reports KINGSPORT—The Elizabethton freshman team fell from the unbeaten ranks on Thursday night, but not before putting up quite a fight.

The receiving duo of Hunter Goddard and Chase Honeycutt will certainly be a concern. Goddard hauled in nine catches for 117 yards against Hampton while Honeycutt provided six for 101. Hunter Abbott rushed for 127 yards on 21 carries and scored all three touchdowns. “I don’t ever emphasize the term ‘must game,’ but our kids are not dumb,” Shively said. “They know this is an important Three Rivers Conference game that we must win. Second, Erwin and Happy Valley is a heated rival — so it has twice the importance of any other game. I expect us to come out ready to play and starting doing things the way we’re used to doing them. A win cures a lot of ill feelings. I can’t wait to watch our kids pay on Friday.” dered 349 yards, most of it coming in the air against the team’s young secondary. But the defense has just two sacks, partly because opponents have used two- and three-steps drops in hopes of getting rid of the ball quickly. The Gators also have played relatively simple schemes, far from the creative blitzes that Muschamp installed as defensive coordinator at LSU, Auburn and Texas. There’s little doubt Muschamp has been saving some wrinkles for Tennessee. Stunts, disguised alignments, zone blitzes, all of them could be unveiled. Floyd’s return certainly will be one new look. “Sharrif brings size, speed, athleticism,” McCray said. “He just brings a lot to that position that you can’t normally get from a guy my size or somebody of my stature. He’s a big guy and he’s fast, quick, powerful, just a great guy that can just play.” n Continued from 1B Tuesday Fourth-quarter comeback falls short for T.A. Dugger from staff reports KINGSPORT — A valiant 22-point, fourthquarter comeback effort wasn’t enough to propel T.A. Dugger past John Sevier on Tuesday night inside of J. Fred Johnson Stadium. The Warriors held off the Junior Cyclones, 32-30. Sevier (4-1) controlled the game on the ground, with a pair of runners, Jacoby Thompson and Blake Rodgers, topping the century mark. from Caleb Armstrong in the third quarter, and again on a 25-yard run with five minutes remaining in the fourth. Rashad Harrington had a pair of catches, including one for 30 yards that set up ’Betsy’s first touchdown. Cameron Miller provided a fumble recovery. “It was a gusty all around effort by our kids,” said Elizabethton head coach Josh Boatman. “We challenged the kids at halftime and they responded in a big way. It was the first time we’ve trailed this year, so they showed a lot of heart in the way that they battled back. We just ran out of time at the end.” EHS Vols yourself to being good and you are playing good, then you have the ability to affect others in a positive way.” The Gators believe the key to beating Tennessee is stopping running back Tauren Poole and getting steady pressure on Bray. And it starts with the defensive front. Florida leads the nation in scoring defense, allowing just a field goal in lopsided wins over Florida Atlantic and UAB.

Can you handle success properly and deal with defeat? The ones that can do this eventually become the better teams.” This was the case last season when the Warriors reeled off seven straight wins after early losses to Elizabethton and Clintwood, Va. “The teams that we’ve lost to are going to whip most teams our size,” he said. “Elizabethton has one of the best teams in the state regardless of classification and Boone was fired up after starting 0-2. We ran into a hungry football team that was starting to play well, but we didn’t do ourselves any favors by turning over the football.” The Tribe must find a way to get Jaylen Simmons going this week. So far the standout junior has yet to have the breakout game that many Warrior fans were expecting to see. “We’ve changed a few things on offense. but we’re still primarily concerned with running the football and applying pressure on defense,” added Shively. It’s critical that we control the run game. You look at the Hampton box score and they completed 20 passes, threw 34 times and nearly gained 300 yards. It’s a contrast in styles. The thing about Unicoi is they will try to line up and run the football. They want to be balanced but coach Jerad Huskins is going to do whatever it takes to move the football, and so far it’s been with the passing game.” The Warriors got some good news on Wednesday. Starting wide receiver and safety Tyler Marlowe is back practicing after missing the last week and a half with a concussion. Running back Christian Mathes is likely to miss his second consecutive game. “Other than those, everyone else is healthy,” Shively said. “They’re all champing at the bit, ready to go.” The Blue Devils were their own worst enemy last week, turning the ball over four times. Quarterback Austin Hensley needs less than 300 passing yards to reach the 1,000 mark for this season. Jamie Combs Tim Chambers Wes Holtsclaw Alijah scored their first touchdown on a 24yard run in the first quarter while Rodgers broke loose for a 54-yarder in the second stanza for a 16-0 advantage. The Cyclones got on the board thanks to a 2-yard touchdown run by Landon Kane, pulling them within eight at the half. John Sevier managed a 32-8 cushion after Thompson scored on runs of 48 and 42 yards in the third quarter. TAD started its comeback with an 8-yard touchdown run by Bryce Richardson early in the fourth. The Cyclones’ biggest play came moments later when Trevor Waycaster returned a fumble 67 yards for a score, putting the margin at 32-22. Kane got them closer with 55 seconds remaining on a 40-yard touchdown pass to Josh Authur, then ran in the two-point conversion. John Sevier sealed the win by recovering the ensuing onsides kick. Turnovers created on that side of the football has boosted morale for the orange and black, and given opponents a headache. Last week, Elizabethton tallied five interceptions and forced two fumbles with Chad Pritchard stepping out with three interceptions and two touchdowns on returns. Combined with four forced fumbles at Happy Valley, the Cyclones have created 11 turnovers in its last two games. “Anytime you force turnovers on defense and score points, it’s big for your team,” said Witten. “We’ve forced 11 turnovers in the last two weeks. We had five interceptions last week and forced four fumbles at Happy Valley. As big as our defense plays, it’s helping put us in position to score points on offense.” Offensively, the Cyclones have gotten an edge early the last two weeks with solid play at quarterback from McKinley Berry, who has completed a large chunk of his throws to a diverse group of receivers including Zack Treadway, Drew Holtsclaw, Wes Montgomery and Pritchard. “Our red-zone offense has got to be better when we can get those opportunities,” said Witten. “But the last two weeks we’ve been up 14-0 after the first quarter at Happy Valley and 14-0 after the half at Tuscola. We’re finding a way to come out and play early and get a little bit of space and it’s creating momentum.” Any early momentum will be key against a Sullivan North team that has used its power running game to an advantage against opponents this year. The Raiders outlasted Volunteer and Eastside, Va., then turned it up the last two weeks with decisive wins Sullivan East and Union County to set up tonight’s battle. Kairi Thompson has been the big force on the ground for North. Against East, Thompson rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns. The standout tailback is joined by a talented running quarterback, Cory Rowe. “They’ve got two really good backs,” said Witten. “North, for what they do, is really good in that system. Their staff does a great job and they’re always playing at a high level and almost always undefeated when we meet them.” For the first time since Witten’s been head coach at Elizabethton, the Cyclones will have a size advantage on the line against the Raiders. That battle could tell the tale when it’s all said and done. “I think the biggest difference in North from just the last couple of years, probably the first time in five years, is we’re bigger than them up front,” said Witten. “Overall, this is a big one for us, a big one for them and this is basically a game going for the conference championship.” Following the Cyclone walk at 5:15, the game will kick-off at 7:30 from Brown-Childress Stadium. -- -- -- CYCLONE LEADERS (THROUGH GAME 4) PASSING: M.

STAR - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 - Page 3B Happy Valley 14, Johnson County 12 Jr. Warriors get past Longhorns By Tim Chambers STAR STAFF [email protected] Happy Valley was trying to hang on like “Sloopy” in the final seconds of its game with Johnson County. A jarring tackle by Sam Blevins on a game-tying two-point conversion try saved the day. Keeping fans in suspense until the final play, the Warriors eeked out a 14-12 home win in junior high football action on Thursday night. Happy Valley broke a 6-6 tie with 50 seconds remaining on a 17-yard run by Caleb Jones. Austin Peters bulled his way in for the two-point conversion, making it a 14-6 game. While the Tribe fans started to celebrate, the Steers began to penetrate toward the end zone. With 23 ticks remaining, Samuel Icenhour got behind the Happy Valley secondary and hauled in a 64-yard halfback pass from Cody Bailie for a touchdown. Blevins then undercut quarterback Justin Pardue in the backfield on the conversion try, allowing the Jr. Warriors to run out the clock. “This was probably the best all-around game we’ve played from the start to finish,” said Happy Valley head coach Caleb Moore. “The defense played great and we did well on offense what little time we had the ball. Johnson County played well and this game could have went either way. It was a outstanding effort from both teams.” Happy Valley wasted no time getting on the board, scoring on its first possession. Justin Morefield lofted a 24 yard touchdown pass to Josh Hammonds on a clutch fourthdown play with 4:20 remaining in the first. Devante Phillips had a clutch 23-yard run that kept the drive alive. Johnson County was able to keep Happy Valley’s offense off the field by controlling time of possession. The Longhorns ran 18 offensive plays in the first half to Happy Valley’s nine. That trend continued in the second half. Johnson County had the ball for the entire third quarter on a drive that started at its 40. A roughing-the-kicker call and a pass interference penalty on the Warriors were instrumental in keeping their march going. but the ’Horns did they part too. They nickel and dimed their way down the field, running 16 offensive plays before a 2-yard touchdown run by Alex Roark got them on the board with 5:54 remaining in the game. Happy Valley (4-1) caught a break on their game-winning drive when Johnson County was assessed a five-yard facemask infraction on a fourth-and-4. Several Warriors stood out in the win. Morefield completed a pair of passes to Hammonds that totaled 68 yards. He also had a 5-yard quarterback sneak on fourth-and-3 during the winning march. Jones ended the night with 44 yard rushing on eight attempts, in addition to his seven solo tackles. Phillips provided 34 yards on five carries. Peters ended the night with eight tackles and the game-winning conversion. Also, Austin Hicks led the defense with nine tackles. Skyler Hyatt contributed a fumble recovery. “We took a timeout before Jones scored the go-ahead touchdown because we wanted to be aggressive,” added Moore. “We didn’t get him a lot of touches, but the ones he got were key ones. He made a great cutback and ran hard and Peters did a great job of getting the conversion into the end zone. Morefield and Hammonds had a good game, and so did our entire defense. I’m proud of our entire team for the way they battled all night.” The Jr. Highlanders’ Noah Johnson (67) latches on to Hampton’s Chris Holtsclaw as Colby Birchfield (22) comes in to assist on the play. No. 4 for the Jr. Bulldogs is Coby Jones. Photo by Danny Davis Jr. Highlanders n Continued from 1B “Austin Whitehead was a horse. He played really well on both sides of the ball, ran hard. Our other backs got long runs there. Colby played pretty well on offense, but now Austin was leading the way.” The Bulldogs were stopped on downs the game’s opening drive. After an 11-yard gain from Birchfield, Whitehead cut loose for a 63yard touchdown and Birchfield’s conversion made it 8-0. “They ran the ball good,” Arnett said. “We just got a couple of guys out of position, on a few certain plays, and that’s what happens when you get one guy out of position. It takes all 11 guys to play.” Hampton punted. The first play of the second quarter, Cloudland coughed up a fumble and the Bulldogs’ Dylan Nelson recovered. Hampton had mounted a seven-play drive, but quarterback Coby Jones was sacked by Peyton Brock to end that threat. Birchfield opened the ensuing possession with a 30-yard gain. Whitehead followed with a 9-yard pickup and Birchfield had a 10-yard run, before the Highlanders were stopped on downs. “Our linemen did a better job the second half,” Coach Birchfield said. “The first half we allowed too much penetration. We just didn’t get off the ball, but Hampton played their hind-ends off. “Coaches did a great job. Hampton was very prepared for what we were going to do, their kids played extremely well, they were very-well coached during the game and they were verywell coached to get ready for this game.” An eight-play drive to open the third quarter was capped by a Birchfield 22-yard scoring jaunt. The conversion pass attempt failed and it was 14-0. Jones completed a 14-yard pass to Chris Miller in the fourth quarter. The nine-play drive got nowhere. Birchfield broke free for a 39-yard gain. Two snaps later he rambled 39 yards into the end zone to complete the onslaught, after the conversion pass was no good with 44.3 seconds remaining. “Cameron Stevens on the inside, especially the second half, did a real good job,” Coach Birchfield said. “Those are two pretty good backs. Austin might be the best middle linebacker I have every coached. He’s a stud.” Birchfield recorded six tackles. Brock was in on four stops. Hampton’s Adam McClain rushed for 62 yards on 14 carries. Making four tackles each were Jones, Ethan Markland, Chris Holtsclaw and Jake Lyons.

The Lady Patriots delivered long scoring stretches and outlasted Elizabethton in three games, 25-11, 25-10, 25-16, Thursday at Treadway Gymnasium. “They were firing on all cylinders tonight,” said Elizabethton coach Leslee Bradley. “They had their team going, all of their hitters were on and they have so many offensive weapons you don’t know where the ball is going to come from. And when it comes, you know it’s going to come hard.” The first game was a close battle at first, with the Lady Cyclones cutting a four-point advantage to one. But East stretched its lead to 13-10, then took off with a 10-point stretch behind Nikki Luster’s serve and cruised to the 2511 edge. In game two, Luster was strong on serve early as East overcame a quick Elizabethton lead with six consecutive points. THe Lady Patriots added a five-point run behind Haley Roe to build their lead to 11, then scored seven of the last nine points for the second game. Game three was more of the same early, as East built a 6-1 advantage. But Elizabethton got some momentum of its own, using runs of three and two to pull within four on four different occasions. “Every time we had a timeout and be- Prep VOLLEYBALL tween games, we talked about adjustments to be stronger against them, and we showed that as the match wore on and we were getting closer to them,” said Bradley. “We were making better adjustments and making better plays, so the score was definitely indicative of that in the third game.” East got its mojo back with an 18-14 lead, scoring five consecutive points — then adding two more points to seal the win. “I thought we played pretty well tonight,” said Sullivan East coach Julia Rafalowski. “I was able to change it up a little bit too and get more people in that haven’t gotten a lot of playing time here lately. They were able to come in and not change the tone of the game very much.” Kara Anderson, Brittany Scott, Tori James and Roe were big around the net for the visitors and created some frustration for Elizabethton. “I tell them all the time we’ve just got to be strong and hit a lot,” said Rafalowski. “Offense is huge for us and we really have focused a lot more on that this year than we have in the past.” East was led by a double-double from Anderson, who tallied 10 kills and 12 digs. Luster had six aces and six kills, while Casey Williams tallied 29 digs and Roe added 26 assists. For Elizabethton, Ashleigh Dykes was strong with six kills and 100 percent service in all three games. MLB: Briefly: Miss. State falls to LSU STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Jarrett Lee completed 21 of 27 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown and No. 3 LSU defeated No. 25 Mississippi State 19-6 on Thursday night. Lee was the unexpected star, firing conservative, but nearly perfect passes all over the field. His 19-yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle with 11:56 left in the fourth quarter gave LSU a 16-6 lead. His only mistake was an interception minutes later, but as it had all game, LSU’s defense stuffed Mississippi State with little trouble. LSU (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) had 14 tackles for a loss and held the Bulldogs (1-2, 0-2) to 123 total yards and two field goals. Lady Buffs spank TWC from staff reports ATHENS, Tenn. — Milligan was a team in command Thursday night, stopping Tennessee Wesleyan 3-0 (2513, 25-11, 25-13) in Appalachian Athletic Conference volleyball play. After the Lady Buffs cruised in the opening set, Chelsea Spivey served 12 straight points to open the second — and Milligan never looked back. The Lady Bulldogs kept the final set close in the early going, but Milligan went on an 18-6 run. Kendra Fiddler recorded nine kills, three block assists and two solo blocks, while Spivey recorded 23 assists, six kills and three aces. Rachel Renville and Rachel Hurley had six and five kills, respectively. Morgan Rutledge ended the match with 16 digs.

Summer Reece contributed 17 digs and Abbi Pierce assisted 13 times to contribute to the Lady Cyclones’ cause. “We knew coming in every night you have to bring your best game,” added Bradley. “I feel like they played a really good game tonight and it was hard to match up to that.” JUNIOR VARSITY Elizabethton jumped out to a good start against the conference leader East, winning the first game 25-16. But the Lady Patriots battled back for a 25-22 win in the second game and took advantage of confusion in the third game for a 15-10 decision and victory. Reece had three aces for Elizabethton, which had two kills apiece from Megan Pietrowski and Chrissie King. FOOTBALL Prep standings Three Rivers Conference Conf.

Ffyfe took possession on the EHS side of the midfield stripe and broke in clean and fired a low shot past Cyclone goalkeeper Abby Stephenson. Hardin got the equalizer in the 32nd minute on a pretty drive, in which Hardin split the last two Greene Devil defenders inside the goal box and beat Greeneville ‘keeper Caroline Quarles to even the match at 1-1. “We had a few breakdowns defensively,” said Greeneville’s head coach John Eiskamp. “We knew they would be looking to get the ball to Christine. That’s no secret, she’s a great player and she knows where the goal is.” Tiffany Barnette, Naomi Eberle, Paige Jones and Sophie Bremer were solid on the defensive backline against the aggressive Greeneville attack and enabled the Cyclones to counter effectively in the second half. “We changed up our defense to show something new,” Hardin said. “We dropped a player back, and tried to possess the ball more than we normally do. All that combined enabled us to put pressure on them.” In the second half, Greeneville took the initiative and broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute on a tally by junior Kelli Grissom. A ball placed over the top from the defensive midfield found Grissom outside the Cyclone goal box, and she put a nicely placed shot into the EHS net for a 2-1 Greene Devil advantage. “We had the lead and could have had more,” said Eiskamp. “We missed on a few corner kicks that we didn’t cover the backside of the net on.
