Renovations nearing

When students return to 

classes at Elizabethton High 

School in a few weeks, they will 

notice some changes have been 

made to the building during the 

summer vacation. 

The changes to the school 

was unanimously approved 

during the June Board of Education 

meeting. The project included 

the renovations to three 

vocational classrooms and improvements 

to the main office 

area and one computer science 

classroom. 

C & T Construction of Johnson 

City had the lowest bid at 

$72,700 of the six bids received 

for the initial work. A change 

order of $4,897 was approved 

during the July board meeting 

to cover the costs of asbestos 

tile and mastic removal and 

changes to the smoke detectors, 

exit lights and door hardware. 

The funding for the renovations 

would come from extra sales tax 

revenue that has been collected 

since the sales tax increase was 

approved in 2007. 

Two large vocational classrooms 

were split in half to create 

two new classrooms. The 

culinary science classroom was 

divided into two spaces and a 

new classroom was added at 

the front of that space. Also, in 

the culinary science room the 

half wall that divides the room 

would be lowered to allow the

An unprecedented 23 individuals made their first 

appearances in Carter County Criminal Court on 

Thursday on methamphetamine charges. 

Judge Lynn Brown’s docket included many 

residents from Johnson County, as well as Carter 

County, who were arrested over the Memorial Day 

holiday for promotion of methamphetamine manufacture. 

Each of the individuals were given new 

court dates and were assigned to be heard by either 

Brown or Judge Robert Cupp. 

All 23 defendants were indicted by the Carter

A group of interested community 

members met Thursday afternoon 

at Sycamore Shoals State 

Historic Park to discuss ways to 

increase community awareness 

about the “America’s Favorite 

Park” online campaign. 

Sycamore Shoals is in the running 

to claim the title of America’s 

Favorite Park and win up to 

$100,000. Online voting is being 

held on the website livepositively. 

com and at the end of the voting 

period, the top three vote garnering 

parks in the country will receive 

a grant. The first place park 

will receive $100,000, second 

place will receive $50,000 and 

third place will receive $25,000. 

Any funds raised through the 

program would be used to help 

maintain Sabine Hill House and 

prepare it for winter so it doesn’t 

deteriorate any further during 

the colder months. Sabine Hill 

is the home of Brigadier General 

Nathaniel Taylor and was built in 

1816. The property is now owned 

by the State of Tennessee. 

Sycamore Shoals Park Manager 

Jennifer Bauer said she had 

been searching for grant options 

to cover the costs of renovations 

at the house when she discovered 

the livepositively.com contest. 

Since the house is now owned 

by the state, it would be responsible 

for funding any work there. 

However, because of economic 

worries and budget crunches in 

the state and across the country, 

it is hard to find funding for the 

renovation and restoration of the 

historic structure. 

The goal is to restore Sabine 

Hill House to what it would have 

looked like when it was originally 

built. The same project was completed 

on the Carter Mansion. 

Bauer said before that project 

can be done there are several 

steps that must be completed. 

Archeological, architectural and 

other studies must be completed 

to make sure the work is being 

group with more than 300 counts of promotion of 

methamphetamine manufacture. 

At the time of the arrests, Sheriff Chris Mathes 

said the ongoing investigation lasted for several 

months and involved a tremendous amount of 

work by the Carter County Sheriff’s Department 

drug unit. Mathes said the investigation targeted 

alleged drug traffickers from primarily Johnson 

County who had traveled to various pharmacies in 

Elizabethton and Carter County to purchase excessive 

amounts of pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient 

used to cook meth.

Two more notices and orders 

of quarantine of homes where 

illegal methamphetamine was 

found were registered this week 

at the Carter County Register of 

Deeds office, while an order of 

quarantine on an Elizabethton 

home was lifted. 

Properties placed under quarantine 

include an outbuilding 

and mobile home located at 132 

Hubert Shell Road and a single 

wide mobile home at 127 Holly 

Hill Road. 

Both notices and orders of 

quarantine were filed by Carter 

County Deputy Thomas Smith. 

The property at 132 Hubert 

Shell Road listed Carolyn Scalf, 

128 Spring St., Hampton, as the 

owner. The order noted that the 

Carter County Sheriff’s Department 

responded to a call June 8, 

2011, at the Hubert Shell Road 

location to an “illegal laboratory 

for the manufacture of methamphetamine.”

raised would be put toward the 

cost of that renovation and moving 

that project forward.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An 

intensive endgame at hand, Re- 

publican leaders abruptly post- 

poned a vote Thursday night on 

legislation to avert a threatened 

government default and slice 

federal spending by nearly $1 

trillion. 

“The votes obviously were 

not there,” conceded Rep. David 

Dreier, R-Calif., after Speaker 

John Boehner and the leadership 

had spent hours trying to corral 

the support of rebellious conser- 

vatives. 

The decision created fresh 

turmoil as divided government 

struggled to head off an unprec- 

edented default that would leave 

the Treasury without the funds 

needed to pay all its bills. Admin- 

istration officials say Tuesday is 

the deadline for Congress to act. 

President Barack Obama has 

threatened to veto the House bill, 

and the White House taunted Re- 

publicans as they struggled. 

“Another day wasted while 

the clock ticks, now is the time to 

compromise so we can solve this 

problem and reduce the deficit,” 

tweeted communications direc- 

tor Dan Pfeiffer. 

Senate Democrats stood by 

to scuttle the bill — if it ever 

got them — as a way of forcing 

Republicans to accept changes 

sought by Obama. 

The first sign of trouble for the 

House’s supporters occurred after 

hours of routine debate, when the 

GOP leadership suddenly halted 

work on the measure. 

As the evening slipped by 

Boehner summoned a string of 

Republican critics of the bill to 

his office. Asked what he and the 

speaker had talked about, Rep. 

Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said, “I think 

that’s rather obvious. ... There’s 

negotiations going on.” 

Based on public statements 

by lawmakers themselves, it ap- 

peared that five of some two 

dozen holdouts were from South 

Carolina. The state is also repre- 

sented by Sen. Jim DeMint, who 

has solid ties to tea party groups 

and is a strong critic of compro- 

mising on the debt issue. 

Others said conservatives 

wanted additional steps taken 

to try to ensure that a constitu- 

tional balanced-budget amend- 

ment would be sent to the states 

for ratification. As drafted, the 

legislation merely requires both 

houses of Congress to vote on the 

issue. 

Another option under review 

was to wait for the Democratic- 

controlled Senate to pass legisla- 

tion first, a reversal in Republi- 

can strategy that would increase 

Obama’s leverage. 

With the bill in limbo, a few 

first-term conservatives slipped 

into a small chapel a few paces 

down the hall from the Capitol 

Rotunda as they contemplated 

one of the most consequential 

votes of their careers. 

Asked if he was seeking divine 

inspiration, Rep. Tim Scott, R- 

S.C., said that had already hap- 

pened. “I was leaning no and 

now I am a no.” 

Many more congregated in 

the office of the chief GOP vote 

counter, California Rep. Kevin 

McCarthy, perhaps drawn to the 

19 boxes of pizza that were rolled 

in. Boehner joined them but did 

not speak to reporters. 

Earlier, Boehner had exuded 

optimism. 

“Let’s pass this bill and end 

the crisis,” said the president’s 

principal Republican antagonist 

in a new and contentious era of 

divided government. “It raises the 

debt limit and cuts government 

spending by a larger amount.” 

President Barack Obama has 

threatened to veto the measure, 

and in debate on the House floor, 

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz 

of Florida savaged it as a “Re- 

publican plan for default.” She 

said the GOP hoped to “hold our 

economy hostage while forcing 

an ideological agenda” on the 

country. 

Despite the sharp rhetoric, 

there were signs that gridlock 

might be giving way. 

“Around here you’ve got to 

have deadlock before you have 

breakthrough,” said Sen. Kent 

Conrad, D-N.D. “We’re at that 

stage now.” 

Wall Street suffered fresh loss- 

es as Congress struggled to break 

its long gridlock. The Dow Jones 

industrial average was down for 

a fifth straight session. 

The Treasury Department 

moved ahead with plans to hold 

its regular weekly auction of 

three-month and six-month se- 

curities on Monday. Yet officials 

offered no information on what 

steps would be taken if Congress 

failed to raise the nation’s $14.3 

trillion debt limit by the follow- 

ing day. 

Administration officials have 

warned of potentially calami- 

tous effects on the economy if the 

country defaults on its obliga- 

tions — a spike in interest rates, 

a plunge in stock markets and a 

tightening in the job market in 

a nation already struggling with 

unemployment over 9 percent. 

White House press secretary 

Jay Carney outlined White House 

compromise terms: “significant 

deficit reduction, a mechanism 

by which Congress would take 

on the tough issues of tax reform 

and entitlement reform and a 

lifting of the debt ceiling beyond 

... into 2013.” 

The last point loomed as the 

biggest obstacle. 

The House bill cuts spending 

by $917 billion over a decade, 

principally by holding down 

costs for hundreds of government 

programs ranging from the Park 

Service to the Agriculture Depart- 

ment and foreign aid. 

It also provides an immedi- 

ate debt limit increase of $900 

billion, which is less than half of 

the total needed to meet Obama’s 

insistence that there be no replay 

of the current crisis in the heat of 

the 2012 election campaigns. 

An additional $1.6 trillion in 

borrowing authority would be 

conditioned on passage of spend- 

ing cuts of a greater amount. 

The GOP bill’s $917 billion in 

upfront spending cuts was tril- 

lions less than many tea party- 

backed rank-and-file Republican 

lawmakers wanted but a total 

that seemed nearly unimagina- 

ble when they took power in the 

House last winter with an agenda 

of reining in government. Nu- 

merous Republicans grumbled 

that the legislation didn’t cut 

more deeply, and Boehner and 

the rest of the GOP leadership 

have spent their week cajoling 

reluctant conservatives to provide 

the votes needed to pass it. 

Until evening, it appeared 

they were succeeding. 

“It gives us a little bit of heart- 

burn because it doesn’t go big 

enough,” said Rep. Sean Duffy, 

R-Wis., a first-term lawmaker 

who said he would vote for the 

bill as the best one available. 

Another first-term Repub- 

lican, Rep. Martha Roby of 

Alabama, said the bill was “far 

from perfect. But I don’t have 

the luxury of writing the plan by 

myself, and neither does Speaker 

Boehner.” 

While the White House and 

Democrats objected to the House 

bill, they readied an alternative 

that contained similarities. 

Drafted by Senate Majority 

Leader Harry Reid, it provides for 

$2.7 trillion in additional bor- 

rowing authority for the Trea- 

sury. It also calls for cuts of $2.2 

trillion, including about $1 tril- 

lion in Pentagon savings that as- 

sume the end of the wars in Iraq 

and Afghanistan. 

Even before the House voted, 

Reid served notice he would stage 

a vote to kill the legislation al- 

most instantly. 

“No Democrat will vote for a 

short-term Band-Aid that would 

put our economy at risk and put 

the nation back in this unten- 

able situation a few short months 

from now,” he said. 

House Republicans put off vote on debt limit

Countdown to Aug. 2 

On Aug. 2, the U.S. will reach its borrowing limit of $14.3 trillion. Unless the limit is raised, the 

government could default on debt that comes due. That would likely cause heavy selling in the stock 

and bond markets. But financial analysts and investors expect Congress and President Obama to 

make a deal on budget cuts and raise the debt limit before the deadline. The haggling could go until 

the last minute and make many investors nervous. Here’s what to expect in the markets: 

While investors wait 

for a deal... 

They may no longer see 

government debt as a safe invest- 

ment. If they start selling 

Treasurys, yields will rise. Yields 

on short-term Treasury bills may 

rise the most because the govern- 

ment must pay off many T-bills 

every week – so investors may 

see them as having the most risk. 

Problems in the Treasury 

market could spill over to banks 

and money-market funds. They 

are big buyers of Treasurys, and 

would see their assets falling 

sharply in value if there is heavy 

bond selling. 

If interest rates rise sharply, 

stocks and corporate bonds will 

likely fall. They have benefited 

from low rates over the last year. 

The dollar may fall against 

other currencies as the U.S. 

loses some of its cachet as a 

safe place to put money. 

If there is a deal 

Investors will give stocks a 

“relief rally” because the U.S. 

won’t default on its debt. 

But sharp cuts in the 

budget could hurt the 

economy. Federal spending 

accounts for 8 percent of the 

gross domestic product. A 

deal to cut $2 trillion in 

spending over 10 years could 

shave 0.8 percentage points 

off economic growth next 

year, according to Goldman 

Sachs. 

Congress and Obama 

may have to revisit the debt 

limit in as little as 13 months, 

according to estimates from 

economists at Nomura 

Securities. The next fight 

over the debt limit could 

occur next fall, during the 

final months of the 2012 

presidential election 

campaign.

FROM STAFF REPORTS 

Two people were injured Thursday night in a motor vehicle acci- 

dent that took place on West Elk Avenue in front of Nunley Furniture. 

Capt. Greg Workman of the Elizabethton Police Department said 

Officer Jordan Ensor was the first officer to arrive on scene at 9:47 

p.m. The Elizabethton Fire Department and the Carter County Rescue 

Squad also responded to the scene for extrication and transport. Sgt. 

Mike Sproviero contacted Capt. Workman and the Specialized Traffic 

Accident Reconstruction Team was called in to take over the investi- 

gation. 

The preliminary investigation found that a 1997 Geo Metro oper- 

ated by Irwin Burlison, 67, of 103 W. L St., Elizabethton, was traveling 

westbound on W. Elk Ave. A 2011 Nissan Versa operated by Jena Stines, 

27, of 109 Stillwater Circle, Elizabethton, was traveling eastbound on 

W. Elk Avenue and crossed over into the westbound lane striking the 

Geo Metro head on. 

Burlison was extricated from the vehicle and transported by CCRS 

ambulance to the Johnson City Medical Center. Stines was transported 

by the CCRS to Sycamore Shoals Hospital. Stines did not require ex- 

trication. Workman said charges are pending in regards to the ac- 

cident. 

The incident and investigation caused officers to close Elk Avenue 

in the area of the accident scene. The STAR team was on the scene for 

several hours conducting its investigation.

Elizabethton Police are investigating a Thursday night crash on West Elk Avenue that injured two individuals. A press release from 

the EPD states that charges are pending in the case. 


A woman accused of taking nearly $13,000 from the Crossroads Al- 

cohol & Drug Association made her first court appearance on Thurs- 

day. 

The former probation office manager, Jamie Younce, appeared in 

Carter County Criminal Court before Judge Lynn Brown. The judge 

decided to send the case to Judge Robert Cupp’s docket for an appear- 

ance on Sept. 27. Brown also ordered that a Tennessee Bureau of In- 

vestigation criminal background check be completed before the next 

court date. 

Younce made bond on May 4 and hired local attorney David Crock- 

ett. She was indicted by the Carter County grand jury meeting on May 

4 on one count of theft over $10,000. 

The prosecuting officer, Investigator Kirk Carrier of the Elizabeth- 

ton Police Department, said he began an investigation on Jan. 3. As a 

result of an in-house investigation conducted at Crossroads, the police 

department interviewed Younce. Carrier said Younce admitted to tak- 

ing money. Younce also allegedly admitted to deleting cases or ac- 

counts to make records match. 

Younce had worked at Crossroads as an office manager for about 

five years.

LIFEPATH schedules 

training conference 

for public health workers 

JOHNSON CITY — Public health professionals in the Tri-Cities 

and across the state will have the opportunity to sharpen and expand 

their skills during a conference being held Friday, Aug. 12, by LIFE- 

PATH, the Tennessee public health training center based at East Tennessee 

State University. 

“Public Health and You: Skill Building for Success” is the first 

training conference offered by LIFEPATH, or the Long-distance Internet 

Facilitated Educational Program for Applied Training in Health. 

The event will be held at the Carnegie Hotel in the Grand Soldiers 

Ballroom. Admission is free and distance learning will be available 

through live web streaming. 

Housed in ETSU’s College of Public Health, LIFEPATH is the first 

and only training center of its kind in Tennessee. It was created 

to provide academic and non-academic training opportunities to 

professionals in the field across the state. 

LIFEPATH is funded by a $3.25 million grant the U.S. Department 

of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 

awarded to the College of Public Health to create and manage a 

comprehensive training center that will strengthen the technical, 

scientific, managerial and leadership competence of Tennessee’s 

public health workforce. 

Participants in the Aug. 12 conference will hear presentations 

and participate in discussions regarding public health law, budgeting 

and finance, leadership and public health nursing. The conference 

will offer continuing medical education, continuing nursing 

education and continuing education units through the James H. 

Quillen College of Medicine’s Office of Continuing Medical Education. 

ETSU was one of only 27 institutions across the nation chosen by 

HRSA to become an official public health training center, part of a 

federal effort to improve overall health. The Association of Schools of 

Public Health has reported that by 2020, the United States will face a 

shortage of 250,000 public health workers, and training centers such 

as LIFEPATH will help address this shortage. 

A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided for conference 

participants. Advance registration is encouraged. To register or for 

more information, visit www.tnphtc.org or call Paula Masters at 439- 

4421. 

Three men plead guilty to robbery 


Three men pleaded guilty Tuesday in Carter County Criminal 

Court to robbing an Elizabethton man on Oct. 19, 2009. 

Henry Riddle, 21, of Blountville, Jesse Lee Grindstaff, 33, of Johnson 

City and Myral Clark, 41, with an unknown address, pleaded guilty to 

aggravated burglary, which was downgraded from aggravated robbery. 

A charge of theft over $1,000 was dismissed. 

The victim, Paul Rhea, reported to Elizabethton Police that two 

men robbed him at knifepoint at his residence on Lee Avenue. A third 

man, who the victim identified as Grindstaff, remained outside of the 

home. Rhea said the men took $1,100 in cash. 

In addition, Grindstaff pleaded guilty to an aggravated burglary 

charge out of Washington County. He also pleaded to a drug charge. 

He was sentenced to three years on each charge, but was released from 

jail for time already served. 

Riddle pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact, because he drove 

the suspects after the incident. He also pleaded to theft over $500. Riddle 

was ordered to serve six years of probation on the charges. Clark 

was placed on three years of probation for the Elizabethton incident.

GOP legislator says nurses were treated unfairly 

KINGSPORT (AP) — A Republican 

state legislator who helped 

three nurse practitioners get their 

licenses back says he advocated for 

them because he felt their constitutional 

rights were violated. 

Rep. Tony Shipley of Kingsport 

is one of two lawmakers who have 

acknowledged using their legislative 

positions to some degree to 

force the Tennessee Board of Nursing 

to reconsider the suspensions of 

Bobby Reynolds II, David Stout Jr. 

and Tina Killebrew. 

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation 

was probing fatal overdoses 

among patients of the now 

defunct Appalachian Medical Center, 

where the nurse practitioners 

once worked, when the TBI began 

looking into whether lawmakers 

improperly intervened with the 

state board. 

TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm 

told the Kingsport Times-News by 

email that the agency is investigating 

the nurses’ cases in a separate 

probe and has turned the matter 

over to Washington County District 

Attorney General Tony Clark. 

When the board suspended 

the licenses, it found that the 

three nurse practitioners failed to 

properly order diagnostic tests for 

patients before prescribing painkillers, 

continued to prescribe pain 

medication to patients identified by 

law enforcement as illegally selling 

the drugs and prescribed controlled 

substances to each other, according 

to minutes of the meeting. Two 

patients died of drug overdoses, the 

TBI said. 

The board decided in May to 

restore the nurses’ licenses after 

hearing petitions claiming that the 

board had not heard certain details 

about the deceased patients. 

For instance, the nurses contended 

one patient had been 

crushing medications and injecting 

them via either an IV line or 

needle, and that the same patient 

had consumed 15 times the prescribed 

amount of oxycodone in a 

three-hour time frame, according 

to documents from the state health 

department. 

Carter Family Fold to host Gary Brewer and Kentucky Ramblers 

The Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, 

Va., will present a concert of 

bluegrass and old-time music by 

Gary Brewer and the Kentucky 

Ramblers July 30. Admission to 

the concert is $10 for adults, $1 

for children 6 to 11, and under 

age 6 free. 

Since the early 1800s, music 

has been an integral part of 

the Brewer family. The tradition 

continues with Gary Brewer, who 

represents a new generation of 

bluegrass artists who have a deep 

respect for the roots of bluegrass 

and old-time music — but are 

willing to put their own personal 

stamp on the music. 

Brewer has been noted as one 

of the finest lead singers to come 

along in quite awhile, receiving 

high praise from major reviewers 

and national stars in the music 

business. His guitar picking is 

creative and powerful on both 

rock solid rhythms and powerful 

solos. 

He comes by his talent naturally. 

His grandfather, Finley 

Brewer Sr., of Roan Mountain, 

performed alongside the Original 

Carter Family in the late 

1920s. 

Gary’s father, Finley “Jim” 

Brewer Jr., has played since 

1950. 

When Jim and Gary’s sons, 

Wayne and Mason, join him on 

stage, they exemplify the traditional 

family band of yesteryear. 

The Kentucky Ramblers have 

appeared on the Nashville Network 

and numerous radio and 

television shows all over the 

country — including the Lincoln 

Center. The Ramblers tour

Shipley told a tea party group 

Tuesday night in Kingsport that 

he felt the need to help the nurses 

because they had failed to receive 

due process and had “exhausted 

all their means.” 

“These people were never arrested,” 

Shipley said. “They were 

never sent off to jail. They went 

before a board of nursing, and a 

summary suspension removed 

their licenses.” 

Shipley has told the Kingsport 

Times-News that he was directly 

involved in the nurses’ cases, saying 

he was the “rascal behind the 

scenes that made it happen.” He 

said that as a member of the Government 

Operations Committee, 

he took the position of blocking the 

extension of the nursing board until 

it heard the nurses’ arguments. 

He questioned the nursing 

board’s extension on the House 

floor on May 20, 2010, according 

to the video of that day’s House session. 

“Can we dissolve that board next 

year?” Shipley asked then-House 

The Tennessee Highway Patrol 

will be conducting driver license 

roadside safety checkpoints during 

the week of July 31 on U.S. 

Highway 321 in Carter County. 

According to a press release, 

recognizing the danger presented 

to the public by unqualified drivers, 

Troopers will concentrate 

their efforts on vehicles being 

Government Operations Committee 

Chairwoman Susan Lynn. 

She responded: “Naturally any 

board can be dissolved at any time, 

but you would want to have a plan 

in place for the work the board does 

and how to get that work done.” 

On May 12, 2010, Rep. Dale 

Ford also tried to hold up the 

board’s extension during a House 

session. The Jonesborough Republican 

called nursing board members 

a “bunch of witches on a witch 

hunt.” 

“We don’t need to extend this. 

We need to cut it,” he told lawmakers. 

“They don’t care what we 

think. ... It’s a kangaroo court.” 

Ford has acknowledged that his 

wife was a clinic patient and that 

his sister worked there. 

He told The Associated Press last 

week that he proposed a bill to create 

an oversight committee for the 

nursing board but withdrew it after 

the board agreed to “take another 

look” at the suspension of Reynolds, 

who owned the center, according 

to state records. 

THP schedules driver license 

checkpoints this week on US 321 

operated by drivers who would 

violate the driver license laws of 

Tennessee. 

The Tennessee Highway Patrol 

has found these driver license 

roadside safety checkpoints to be 

an effective means of enforcing 

driver license laws of Tennessee 

while ensuring the protection of 

all motorists.

FROM STAFF 

REPORTS 

An Elizabethton man has 

been charged by city police with 

two counts of rape of a child. 

Investigator Chris Bowers of 

the Elizabethton Police Department 

filed charges on Thursday 

against Harry Truman Head Jr., 

39, of Elizabethton. Head faces 

two counts of rape of a child, a 

class A felony. 

Bowers reported that the 

department received an anonymous 

tip of inappropriate contact 

between Head and children 

in the household. On Tuesday 

afternoon, police officers went 

to the residence where Head was 

living and took him into custody 

on an active warrant for 

failure to appear out of Bradley 

County, Tenn. 

Four children 

were removed 

from the 

residence on 

Wednesday by 

Children’s Protective 

Services. 

A CPS investigator 

then spoke 

to the children. 

The investigator advised Bowers 

that two of the children disclosed 

that Head had performed sexual 

acts with them over the past several 

months. 

As a result of the investigation, 

Head has been served the 

warrant and bail has been set at 

$100,000. He is scheduled to appear

Investigators with the Carter County Sheriff’s Department say two 

people entered a Roan Mountain residence earlier this month, took 

several items from the home, then realized their getaway car was out 

of gas. The two men then allegedly damaged the victim’s vehicle in 

order to siphon gas from its tank. 

The victims returned home while the burglars were still on the 

property and were able to identify the suspects. One of the men, Travis 

Edward McKinney, 32, of 141 Old Highway 19E, has been arrested and 

made a General Sessions court appearance on Wednesday in regards 

to the residential burglary and the attempted theft of a rifle from a 

Roan Mountain business. 

On July 16, Charles and Alta Woods left their home at 136 Vernon 

Shell Road to go shopping. They returned nearly three hours later and 

observed a white male subject running from Mr. Woods’ Silverado 

truck. 

Woods yelled at the man to stop, but the suspect, who the victims 

recognized as McKinney, said he was leaving. Mrs. Woods attempted 

to detain McKinney as her husband went to the residence to call 911. 

The defendant was able to pull out of his shirt and escape. 

Mr. Woods said he observed the suspects’ 1984 four-door Toyota 

backed up to the porch of his residence. As he approached the vehicle 

he saw his television, air compressor and clothes in the back seat and 

his gun safe and tools in the trunk. Another male, who has not been 

arrested, then ran around his house and down the driveway. The victim 

went inside, called 911 and retrieved his hand gun. He went back 

outside and fired five rounds at the defendants’ vehicle. 

During the course of the investigation, Investigator Janice Black 

said a photo lineup was compiled and reviewed by the victims, who 

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — An Asheville firefighter checking to see if 

anyone was left in a burning medical building died Thursday after becoming 

trapped in the blaze and another firefighter was injured, Fire Chief 

Scott Burnette said. 

Fire Capt. Jeff Bowen, 37, was conducting a rescue operation with fellow 

firefighter Jay Bettencourt when they issued a mayday call over the 

radio. Other firefighters rescued the two men, but Bowen died a short time 

later at the hospital, Burnette said. 

“A third of our life is spent on duty — our working life. Those bonds 

certainly get very strong and last for a long time,” Burnette said. “Certainly, 

we were very good friends.” 

Bettencourt was listed in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, 

Ga. Six other firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion and were treated 

locally, authorities said. 

The fire began around 12:30 p.m. Thursday on the top floor of a fivestory 

medical building near Mission Hospital in Asheville. The clinic houses 

an internal medicine practice that treats diseases ranging from cancer 

to diabetes. At least 200 people were inside. All of them got out safely, Burnette 

said. 

Authorities have started an investigation into where the fire began and 

how it started, but have not reached any conclusions, the fire chief said. 

Only a small part of the building away from the fire had sprinklers, and 

the devices weren’t required by codes when the building was constructed,

Roan Mountain burglar says his car ran out of gas 

immediately identified the defendants. Black said McKinney was interviewed 

and gave a statement regarding his participation in the burglary. 

He was charged with burglary, aggravated burglary and theft 

over $10,000. 

On July 20, Mr. Woods reported to investigators that the hose on the 

bottom of his vehicle’s gas tank had been cut. Black said that during 

the interview, McKinney informed her that his vehicle ran out of gas 

as he and the accomplice were burglarizing the victims’ house. 

The defendant told Black that he and his accomplice went into 

the victims’ shed and barn and then a nearby residence to find gas. 

McKinney said the two men attempted to siphon gas from the victim’s 

truck. 

McKinney and his accomplice have also been charged with theft 

under $500 regarding a weapon. The owner of Creoles Corner, located 

at 8312 Highway 19E in Roan Mountain, reported that McKinney and 

another individual came into his business at 3:50 p.m. on July 16, the 

same day as the burglary. McKinney stopped at the counter and spoke 

to the victim while the other individual went to the back of the store 

where firearms are displayed. 

The victim stated that he witnessed the defendant leaving the business 

when he noticed an unusual bulge under his clothes. The victim 

stopped the man and lifted his shirt when he felt the butt end of the 

rifle, a Wolf brand .50 caliber muzzle loader valued at $239. McKinney’s 

accomplice allegedly pulled the rifle out of his pants, laughed 

and handed the weapon back to the victim. The defendants then ran 

out the door and drove away in a Toyota. 

McKinney appeared before Judge John Walton in Sessions Court 

on Wednesday with a representative from the public defender’s office. 

The case was reset for Aug. 23. 

Sheriff’s investigators say the second defendant has not been located. 

Asheville firefighter dies in NC medical building blaze 

Burnette said. 

The blaze was the first four-alarm fire in Asheville in at least 30 years. 

Sixty firefighters — a quarter of the department’s force — responded, 

authorities said. 

The fire chief remembered Bowen as one of the most dedicated firefighters 

in the department, but also a man generous with his time. He 

joined with Bettencourt to grow mustaches for charity around Christmas 

last year. He left behind a wife and three children. 

“He came to work smiling,” Burnette said. “He really loved fighting 

fires.”

Opinion 

New TSA policy is welcome 

The era of easy air travel is over for the foreseeable future, but a sensible 

improvement to software in full-body scanners at least represents an important 

step toward a more tolerable boarding experience at the nation’s airports. 

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will begin installing the 

software upgrade in the coming weeks in millimeter-wave scanners, including 

the six operating at the Honolulu Airport. The amended machines now 

will display a generic outline of a human body, highlighting any anomalies 

that must be checked further, and will enable both the security officer and the 

passenger to see the same image. 

This is a far more reasonable concession for the traveler to make in the 

interest of enhanced security than to submit to the existing system, which 

displays what essentially is a nude image of the passenger’s body. And that 

scan is visible only to the TSA employee, which adds a layer of distrust to an 

ordeal that already makes so many people uneasy. 

But if the last 10 years of homeland security vigilance have taught Americans 

anything, it’s that there is no silver bullet that will erase our vulnerability 

to terrorism. 

Even with the advances in full-body-scan technology — a necessary 

component of the national security plan — the system is less than ideal. 

For instance, U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka has rightly called on TSA to conduct 

further studies of the health risks associated with the radiation from the scanners. 

The agency has asserted that the radiation exposure is less than what 

passengers get while in flight, but that shouldn’t assuage the concerns of the 

airport employees themselves who are exposed to it for hours at a time. 

Further, the scanners should not be necessary for all travelers. It’s encouraging 

that the TSA recently announced plans to test a prescreening program 

that would enable passengers who volunteer more personal information 

about themselves to be vetted so they can get faster screening at airport checkpoints. 

... 

Finally, the scanners can leave Americans with a false sense of security 

if too much reliance is placed on technology. After all, there are several examples 

from recent history of contraband being intercepted, not because they 

were detected in a scan, but because of a tip. ... 

Nearly a decade after 9/11, the U.S. is still struggling to find the right balance 

between assuring public safety and maintaining normalcy. The new, 

less invasive software tips the balance back toward equilibrium only slightly, 

but it’s welcome all the same. 

—Clarksville Leaf Chronicle 

Widening gap in wealth threatening 

A shocking result of the recession, revealed by census data, should 

concern every American: 

The average white family has net worth 20 times that of the average 

black, and 18 times that of the average Hispanic family. 

Largely as the result of the way the recession developed, the wealth 

gap has increased to its widest point in a quarter-century, The Associated 

Press found. 

It said a Pew Research Center analysis put the average white household 

income in 2009 at $113,149, compared to $5,677 for the average 

black household and $6,325 for the average Hispanic household. 

The gap widened because many white families have investments, 

and the stock market made a modest recovery in 2009 from the recession’s 

losses. 

At the same time, younger black and Hispanic families had bought 

homes in the past decade, only to see the value of those homes decline 

because of the housing market bust. In addition, many Hispanics were 

employed in the construction industry, which declined sharply. 

Regardless of the reasons, it is intolerable for our nation to have 

two societies, separate and unequal. That’s a principle to keep in mind 

as we work to rebuild the economy.

Reader confused about taxes, home values 

Editor: 

City Council and the County Commission are 

failing to do right by us. We already tithe to the 

county and state with the sales tax. Now, city and 

county politicians have proposed huge increases 

in property taxes that will hurt home and business 

owners and renters; i.e., everybody in Carter 

County. 

The STAR is failing in its obligations, too. Stories 

about the tax hike have been both unhelpful 

and confusing. 

First, some stories about the new, higher property 

assessments seem to conflate “market value” 

and “replacement value.” You can’t do that; they 

are not the same thing. How can the property assessor 

and The STAR report that home values are up 

when we all know that our homes have lost worth 

in the market? We are confused. 

Second, The STAR has reported that to prevent 

counties from raking in windfall tax increases, state 

law forbids counties from raising property tax rates 

in the same year that they increase property assessments. 

But we have just seen our less-valuable 

property revaluated upwards while city and county 

politicians talk glibly about big tax increases, and 

The STAR neither takes the politicos to task nor ex-

plains to us how those tax proposals are legitimate, 

if they are. 

Here’s what The STAR should do: 

One: Explain to us how property valuations can 

go up at a time when the housing market is down, 

and people can’t even sell a house for the price they 

bought it. 

Two: Explain why it’s legal for city and county 

politicians to raise our taxes during revaluation 

when the state says it’s not. 

Three: Publish several examples with actual 

numbers of what the various proposed tax rate increases 

would really mean for families in differently 

valued homes in both city and county. 

Perhaps if we understood what’s legal and why 

and if we could see what the actual tax hit would 

be, we would not be so angry, confused and worried 

and might happily pony up our new taxes. 

The STAR’s letters to the editor section has been 

very active and lively of late. That’s good! But it’s 

because people are angry and confused. That’s bad! 

Local politicians are part of the problem. So is The 

STAR. I hope this situation will change.

Reader addresses unmown highway medians, road sides 

Editor: 

To Tennessee officials and TDOT: 

What has happened to our state mowers? I 

haven’t seen them around mowing the grass medians 

and sides of Highway 67 at all this summer, 

and summer is almost over. This does not present a 

good picture to people traveling this highway. It is 

not Tennessee beautiful! 

Could someone in charge look into this and see 

if we can get this area mowed?

Every child 

is a gift 

from God 

Dear Rev. Graham: When 

we found out that our son was 

going to be born with some significant 

birth defects, we prayed 

and prayed for God to take them 

away. But He didn’t, and now I’m 

not even sure I have any faith left. 

I don’t want to be this way, but 

can you understand my feelings? 

— Mrs. N.W. 

Dear Mrs. N.W.: Yes, I can 

understand your feelings — but 

most important, God understands 

them and wants to heal them. One 

of the reasons Jesus was sent into 

the world was 

“to bind up the 

brokenhearted” 

(Isaiah 61:1). 

God could 

have healed 

your baby in 

response to your 

prayers, and I 

don’t know all 

the reasons why 

He didn’t. Human 

suffering 

is a mystery we 

Billy 

Graham 

MY 

ANSWER 

will never fully understand until 

we get to heaven. But this doesn’t 

mean God is indifferent, or that He 

doesn’t love us or care what happens 

to us. Even when life seems to 

turn against us, we still can trust 

His love and look to Him for the 

strength we need. The Bible says, 

“Whoever is wise, let him... consider 

the great love of the Lord” 

(Psalm 107:43). 

Right now, I sense you are 

deeply disappointed — disappointed 

with God, and disappointed 

that your son isn’t the perfect 

child you’d hoped for. But listen: 

God entrusted this child to you, 

and I pray that in time you will 

come to see him not as a problem, 

but as a gift. 

Pray, therefore, that you may 

become everything your son needs 

for you to be — not just in your 

provision for him, but in your love 

and patience and kindness. Most 

of all, ask Christ to fill your life 

with His presence and love, and 

then turn to Him every day for encouragement 

and strength.

Dr. Renfro, a practicing physician, 

knows what it’s like to be on 

both sides of the bedrails. Diagnosed 

with terminal Mantle Cell Lymphoma, 

God healed him in 1997. 

It all began in the fall of 1996 

when Dr. Renfro, a medical doctor 

in Norton, Va., found a small 

lump on the back of his neck. Being 

a physician, he treated himself 

with antibiotics for a possible scalp 

infection of some kind. However, on 

Friday, Oct. 31, 1996 he examined 

himself and found another lump 

on the back of his neck and one 

under his left arm. At this point, he 

knew he had a problem. 

Dr. Renfro spent the next couple 

of days consulting with a few specialists 

he knew and they advised

him to see a surgeon quickly. On 

Monday, Nov. 4, he sat down with 

his wife, Sid, and told her what 

had been going on for the past few 

weeks. Together they cried, prayed 

and tried to go to sleep. 

Over the next few days a lot 

of praying was done as the doctor 

was visited and the biopsy was 

performed. Then on Tuesday, Nov. 

19, the results were delivered. The 

diagnosis: Mantle Cell Lymphoma, 

a very stubborn and cruel variety of 

lymphoma. For Dr. Renfro, with all 

of his medical knowledge, this was 

terrible news. The doctor who delivered 

the news was visibly shaken as 

he looked into the eyes of a fellow 

physician who was very close to his 

own age. The prognosis was that 

there was very little that could be 

done to even slow the progression of 

this type of lymphoma. 

In December 1996, Dr. Renfro 

went to The University of Virginia 

and had a meeting with three specialists 

who confirmed the diagnosis 

and basically recommended 

that he go home and enjoy the 

time he had left. At this point, can- 

recommended. Registration deadline 

for the workshop is July 30. To 

register, email firstpresbyterian@ 

embargmail or call 543-7737. 

The workshop will be followed 

by an evening performance by 

Bolokada and others including 

Zanski and Go, and a number of 

local drummers. A package that 

includes admission to the evening 

performance is $30. 

In 1998, Bolokada Conde was 

recruited by “Les Percussions de 

Guinea,” the national ensemble of 

Guinea. A year later Bolokada left 

on the longest journey of his life. He 

first performed in Asheville in 1999, 

Sunday School and Bible study

cerous presence had been found 

in the bone marrow and an eight 

centimeter mass in his abdomen. 

He was already considered a Stage 

4 case with Stage 1 being the least 

involved and Stage 5 being the most 

involved. 

Up to this point this story is probably 

similar to thousands of other 

stories. Dr. Renfro is a man, subject 

to human frailties, susceptible to 

fear, doubt, confusion and despair 

just like any other man. However, 

there is a huge piece of information 

that has been left out. 

Two days before the biopsy, Dr. 

Renfro’s pastor (also his father-inlaw), 

Glen Sturgill, was praying for 

him and God said, “I’m going to 

take him through.” 

Everyone was excited to hear 

this good news as they all knew 

Pastor Sturgill to be a prophet of 

God. Their understanding of those 

words would not prove to be correct 

as none of them expected the harsh 

battle that was pending for them all 

as they watched this disease take 

virtually everything Dr. Renfro had 

accumulated in his 42 years of life. 

then again in 2003. A year later he 

had moved on from his part from 

“Les Percussions de Guinea” and 

made a home in Asheville from 

2004-2005, where he made a great 

impact on Asheville’s drumming 

scene. 

He addresses students about the 

importance of staying together and 

helping others to join the community 

of drummers, and he reminds 

beginners that anyone can play the 

drum. 

More and more people have 

begun playing the drums because 

it has such a core role in life. Just

The Gathering 

The Gathering at Elizabethton 

continues unpacking the vision of 

their new ministry this Sunday. 

“The Gathering intends to strive 

outside the four walls of a building 

where Christ can truly impact a lost 

and dying work. Not being confined 

by generations of tradition, popular 

opinions and complacent churchgoers 

is truly some of the strengths of 

this new ministry,” said Pastor Bryan 

Smith. 

The church meets at 11 a.m. at 

the Elizabethton Recreation Center, 

300 W. Mill St. For more information,

Dr. Thomas Renfro to tell of miraculous healing 

at Sunday service at Heartland Fellowship 

Tom Renfro 

At that time, no one knew of the 

battle he would face over the next 

year, when he finally walked out of 

the hospital, completely healed, and 

came back to church on Sunday, 

Dec. 14, 1997. Since his healing he 

has traveled to over 100 churches 

to give his testimony and he has 

prayed for thousands of people. God 

has used this modern day miracle 

to instill hope into a hopeless world. 

The public is invited to hear him 

bring The Word of God to build 

your faith to bring you through the 

storms and battles of life.

Harmony FWB to host 

Back-to-School Bash 

The third annual Back-to-School Bash will be held at Harmony 

Free Will Baptist Church, Hampton, on Saturday, July 30, from noon 

to 5 p.m. 

“Individuals may arrive at 9 a.m., and pre-event entertainment 

and singing will be provided before the gates open at noon,” said the 

Rev. Brandon Young, the church’s pastor. 

Past year’s participating churches have included Upper Heaton 

Creek Church, Friendship Free Will Baptist Church, Oak Hill Free Will 

Baptist Church, Lyons Chapel Free Will Baptist Church, Green Mountain 

Free Will Baptist Church, Valley Forge Free Will Baptist Church, 

Little Doe Free Will Baptist Church, Green Pine Baptist Church, Bethel 

Church, Union Baptist Church, Whitehead Hill Christian Church, 

Morgan’s Chapel Free Will Baptist Church, Morgan Branch Free Will 

Baptist Church, Lower Shell Creek Christian Church, Sunrise Free Will 

Baptist Church, Sunset Free Will Baptist Church, Woodby Hill Free 

Will Baptist Church, Piney Grove Free Will Baptist Church, Charity 

Hill Free Will Baptist Church, Evergreen Free Will Baptist Church and 

Eastside Free Will Baptist Church. 

Children, who must be accompanied by an adult chaperone to attend, 

will receive a new book bag, notebook paper, glue sticks, notebooks, 

crayons, colored pencils, scissors, rulers, erasers, three-ring 

folders, markers and pencils. 

Non-related school items they will receive will include clothing 

(socks, underwear, T-shirts), free food gift certificates to area restaurants, 

a new Bible and free food, such as hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn 

and snow cones. 

“The entertainment we have at the event is horseback riding, inflatable 

rides, clowns, puppet shows and Christian dramas, face-painting, 

Christian wrestling and live singing,” Young said. 

He noted that the event “makes a huge impact on the children 

of Carter County because it first lets them know that the Savior Jesus 

Christ loves them enough to provide them with all the supplies they 

need for school, and due to our struggling economy and unemployment 

rate, it assists the parents in providing what their children need 

for the upcoming school year.” 

Young said many parents and grandparents who attended last 

year said that without this event their children would have gone to 

school unprepared because they could not afford the supplies or the 

new clothing. 

“Many children accepted Christ as their Lord during the event last 

year, and numerous rededications were made,” Young added. “This 

event helps families financially and spiritually.” 

Money for the project is raised through donations from churches, 

businesses, volunteers and organizations, as well as from fundraisers 

like church yard sales, silent auctions and bake sales. 

Young said the event shows what God can do when churches come 

together united in Him and lay aside their denomination to be one 

body: the church of Jesus Christ. 

“It also shows that much more can be accomplished when community 

businesses and organizations get involved,” he said. “This event 

is to lift up our Lord Jesus Christ and let each family in attendance 

know how much He loves each of them. We want as many children as 

possible to attend and have a fun-filled day receiving what they need 

for school while enjoying all the food, activities and entertainment.” 

Volunteers are a very important aspect of the project, according to 

Young. 

“It takes over 100 volunteers to make this event possible,” he said. 

“The volunteers come from the churches, community, organizations 

and businesses.” 

Harmony Free Will Baptist Church is located at 3405 Gap Creek 

Road, off Highway 19E, Hampton. To contribute monetary support, 

volunteer the day of the event or to obtain more directions or information, 

call Young at 725-2562 or (828) 766-5614 or email brandonyoung@centurylink.net.

Ex-astronaut Lisa Nowak 

forced out of Navy 

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A former astronaut banished from NASA 

after she confronted a romantic rival in a bizarre episode is being 

kicked out of the Navy, officials said Thursday. 

Capt. Lisa Nowak will retire with an “other than honorable” discharge 

and her pay grade will be knocked down one rank, Assistant 

Secretary of Navy Juan Garcia said in a statement. 

Nowak’s conduct “fell well short” of what is expected of Navy officers 

and she “demonstrated a complete disregard for the well-being 

of a fellow service member,” Garcia said. 

Nowak was accused of confronting Colleen Shipman in the parking 

lot of the Orlando International Airport in February 2007 after 

driving from Houston. 

Nowak had diapers in the car, but Nowak disputed she wore the 

diapers. Shipman, an Air Force captain, had begun dating Nowak’s 

love interest, former space shuttle pilot Bill Oefelein. 

Police say Nowak sprayed pepper spray into Shipman’s car. Nowak’s 

attorney says the pepper spray never reached Shipman. 

Nowak was sentenced in 2009 to a year of probation in the altercation 

after pleading guilty to burglary charges. 

Since her dismissal from the astronaut corps, Nowak has been 

working at the Chief of Naval Air Training station in Corpus Christi, 

Texas. She will be demoted to commander when her retirement takes 

effect Sept. 1. 

The “other than honorable” discharge may affect veterans’ benefits 

for Nowak, who has been in the Navy for 20 years. A call to her 

cell phone was not returned. 

The decision by the Navy came after a board of inquiry heard testimony 

last year. 

“Our goal is to make the right decision,” said Lt. Alana Garas, a 

Navy spokeswoman. “There was a lot of material associated with this 

case ... and the material was fully reviewed ... and that takes time.” 

Renovations 

n Continued from 1A 

The new space created from the culinary science class will be used 

for an English class. The two new classrooms made from a vocational 

room will both be used for math classes. The other renovated room 

will be a classroom and workspace for the agriculture class. 

All of the major work is completed in the renovated classrooms. 

The only remaining work to be completed is to scrub and wax the 

floors, painting and to bring in the furniture to the classrooms. 

New tile flooring was installed in the main office area and in 

Judy Howard’s computer science classroom. A new tile mosaic of 

Tuffy, the EHS mascot, was installed in the lobby of the office. Each 

individual color in the design is a separate tile that was cut by highpressure 

water jets. The image was then installed and assembled 

like a puzzle. 

The new tile floor replaced the older carpet that used to be found 

in the office lobby and in the offices that are found to the left of the 

lobby. O’Quinn said the plan is to continue the new floor into the 

rest of the office next year if funding is available. 

The main office area was also painted to give a brighter overall 

appearance. The classroom was the only computer science room to 

still have carpet flooring. 

O’Quinn said the new classrooms would provide space for three 

of the four teachers who currently float from classroom to classroom. 

Removing the carpet would help lessen allergy problems for 

those who suffer with that issue. 

Outside, several bushes and trees were removed to open up the 

parking area and provide a clearer, safer space for parking. 

Quarantine 


at/in an outbuilding behind the 

mobile home. 

The owner of the property at 

127 Holly Hill Road was listed as 

Gloria Elliott, 117 Philip Nave 

Road. Officers on June 8, 2011, 

found an illegal meth lab in a 

single wide mobile home at that 

address. 

In both cases, the property 

was placed under an order of 

quarantine until it is cleaned, 

tested and certified to be safe for 

human use. According to the recorded 

notice, the purpose of the 

quarantine is to prevent exposure 

“of any person to the hazards associated 

with methamphetamine 

and the chemicals associated 

with the manufacture of meth.” 

The property cannot be lived in 

until a cleanup professional approved 

and certified by the Tennessee 

Department of Environment 

and Conservation and who 

is listed with TDEC certifies that 

the property is safe for human 

use. Only then can the order of 

quarantine be lifted. 

An order of quarantine placed 

earlier this month on a house at 

712 West H Street has been lifted 

and a Certificate of Fitness was 

recorded in the Register of Deeds 

office July 21. The certificate noted 

“Notice is hereby given that property 

quarantined by the Elizabethton 

Police Department has been 

remediated in accordance with 

appropriate guidelines and tested 

by Marty Parker, a certified clandestine 

methamphetamine lab 

hygienist. Parker gave his address 

as 166 Cross Mountain Road, 

Mountain City. 

Owners of the property at 712 

West H Street are Doug and Sharon 

Merryman, who purchased 

the property in May of this year 

from Pat Carver and her siblings.

State Rep. Kent Williams addresses a group of interested community members, who met Thursday afternoon at Sycamore Shoals 

State Historic Park to discuss ways to increase community awareness about the “America’s Favorite Park” online campaign. Sycamore 

Shoals is in the running to claim the title of America’s Favorite Park and win up to $100,000. 

Vote 


the park was in 3,667th place 

with two votes. 

“It is so neat,” Bauer said. 

“Even if we don’t win, the way the 

community has come together in 

support of this and in support of 

the house is heartwarming.” 

The number of votes coming 

in has increased dramatically 

thanks to committee members 

spreading the word on Facebook 

and through emails. 

Committee member Becky 

Magill stressed the importance of 

getting more votes for the park. 

“We have to catapult ourselves 

into place quickly,” she said. 

“Once we get into the top 10, we 

will be able to see how many votes 

we need to get to the next level. 

We have more than doubled our 

votes. That is good, but it is not 

good enough. Don’t let the numbers 

discourage you, just keep 

gathering the votes.” 

To help increase the number 

of votes, the group discussed gathering 

pledges from community 

groups and businesses as well as 

ways to spread the information 

through social media, newscasts 

and emails.

The newly opened Lino’s Ital- 

ian Cuisine in Johnson City offers it 

own take on such staples as pasta, 

pizza and calzones. On one level, 

Lino’s Italian Cuisine occupies a 

good location for a restaurant, but 

that didn’t much help such previ- 

ous tenants as Blue Pear Grill and 

Scampi’s Beach Grille. 

On a recent Sunday evening 

visit with some friends, the res- 

taurant was hosting a single large 

party and a scattering of other cus- 

tomers. A server invited us to take 

our choice of seating and provided 

menus once we were settled. 

The interior design features 

pumpkin-orange and light lime- 

green walls that are decorated with 

art prints and inscribed in places 

with slogans and phrases such as 

“Wish It! Dream It! Do It!”, “Go 

Confidently in the Direction of Your 

Dreams” and “Love Makes Every- 

thing Grow.” Intimate lighting 

is provided by prominent silvered 

globe lights and ceiling fans. 

Seating is available at high- 

backed black booths or at tables, 

with the chairs and benches uphol- 

stered in red. 

The menu offers an impressive 

diversity of options, ranging from 

pasta and salads to pizza and cal- 

zones. The dishes feature a variety 

of seafood and poultry options. 

There’s also a selection of such 

Mediterranean specialties as Baba 

Ganoush, Hummus and Falafel. 

We started by looking over the 

appetizers on the menu. The items 

spotlighted as possible meal-starters 

included Cheesy Breadsticks, Ital- 

ian Garlic Knots, Fried Calamari, 

Mozzarella Sticks, Buffalo Wings, 

Italian Nachos, Fried Zucchini, 

Spanakopita (Spinach Pie) and 

Bruschetta Di Lino. There’s also the 

Lino’s Variety Platter, which offers 

a sampling of the Calamari, Fried 

Zucchini, Chicken Fingers and 

Fried Mozzarella Sticks. 

We decided to share orders of 

the Bruschetta Di Lino and Italian 

Garlic Knots. Both dishes arrived 

promptly and were nicely presented 

with a dusting of dried herbs. 

The toasted pieces of Bruschetta 

were served with diced tomatoes 

and basil with olive oil. The gold- 

en-brown Garlic Knots were served 

with a dish of marinara sauce for 

dipping. 

While enjoying these appetizers, 

we focused on the menu’s entree 

possibilities. The pizza at Lino’s is 

prepared New York-style with a thin 

crust. Several specialty pies on the 

menu that attracted my attention 

included Greek Pizza, Spicy Pizza 

and Pizza di Lino, which features 

baby clams, shrimp, calamari and 

anchovies as toppings. 

Pasta dishes, which included 

some oven-baked pasta platters, 

included such traditional ones as 

Pesto Primavera, Fettuccini Al- 

fredo, Baked Spaghetti, Meat La- 

sagna, Eggplant Parmigiana and 

Tortellini Alfredo. 

Some of the seafood dishes 

also looked interesting, including 

Spicy Shrimp and Chicken, Penne 

Pasta with White Clam Sauce, and 

Shrimp and Tilapia Parmigiana. 

I ordered the Shrimp Scampi 

while my dining companions 

chose the Baked Cheese Tortellini 

and the Greek Salad. 

The Shrimp Scampi and Baked 

Cheese Tortellini were accompa- 

nied by garlic toast and a house 

salad, which consisted of iceberg 

lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato 

slices, red onions and shredded 

cheese. Dressing and crackers were 

served on the side. 

Throughout the meal, live 

entertainment in the form of an 

accordion player and an operatic 

vocalist provided some fun songs. 

My only quibble with the entertain- 

ment had to do with the volume 

level of the music, which at times 

was too loud for normal conversa- 

tion to be possible. The loudness 

of music for a packed house may 

need to be lowered somewhat when 

the dining area is not quite so full 

of customers. 

There was also a slight error in 

pacing when the salads arrived at 

almost the same time as the en- 

trees. The server did acknowledge 

the mistake, which I didn’t mind 

too badly. I actually enjoy having 

some salad to eat along with my 

meal. 

I enjoyed my Shrimp Scampi, 

which featured about a dozen 

medium-sized shrimp served with 

mushrooms and diced tomatoes, 

all sauteed with garlic in a lemon 

butter sauce and served over angel 

hair pasta. 

I liked the shrimp, but the pasta 

and sauce were a bit bland. A sprin- 

kling of salt helped slightly. 

I did try the Baked Cheese Tor- 

tellini, which was great, cheesy, 

comfort food-style pasta at its best. 

I also received good remarks on the 

Greek Salad, a hearty salad with a 

tangy taste. 

Dessert options available dur- 

ing our visit included Cannoli, 

Cheesecake, Tiramisu and Ger- 

man Chocolate Cake. I decided to 

end my Italian meal with a tradi- 

tional Italian sweet and ordered 

the Tiramisu. Conflicting claims 

credit the Italian cities of Siena and 

Treviso with being the place of ori- 

gin for this layered dessert, which 

also features such key ingredients 

as ladyfingers (cookies) soaked in 

coffee, layered with a whipped mix- 

ture of egg yolks and mascarpone 

cheese, and flavored with liqueur 

and cocoa. 

I was very impressed with the 

highly authentic version of Tira- 

misu served at Lino’s. This sweet 

confection was both dense and rich 

and suffused with the tantalizing 

flavors of cocoa and coffee liqueur. 

The traditionally prepared dessert 

provided an excellent conclusion 

for our meal. 

The restaurant offers various 

lunch specials and a menu for kids. 

The affordable prices also make 

Lino’s quite attractive for family 

outings. If you visit, let them know 

they were recommended.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 16-year-old 

girl. I have good grades, partici- 

pate in sports and activities, and 

I’m involved in 

my church. My 

parents have 

always trusted 

me and given 

me freedom be- 

cause they know 

I can handle it. 

I want to at- 

tend a concert 

in a bigger town with a friend. 

However, my parents insist I must 

have an adult with me. I feel I’m 

responsible enough to go to the 

concert without one. How can I 

convince my parents? (A parent 

would be driving us to and from 

the concert.) — CAN HANDLE IT 

IN OREGON 

DEAR CAN HANDLE IT: 

Your parents want to be 

sure you are safe. Although 

they trust you to act respon- 

sibly, they may not be so 

confident about other fans 

in the audience. When large 

numbers of people gather 

for sports events and con- 

certs, there is always the 

chance that a few trouble- 

makers may cause a com- 

motion or even a stampede. 

That’s why the performers 

usually have heavy security 

around them. Please don’t 

take your parents’ stance 

on this personally. They are 

trying to protect you. 

———— 

DEAR ABBY: My husband and 

I are hosting our daughter’s wed- 

ding and reception. We had to 

limit the number of guests due 

to space and budgetary consider- 

ations. Some of the RSVPs have 

come back with a larger number 

of people accepting than were 

listed on the invitation envelope 

as being invited. 

How should we handle this? 

We expect others may do the 

same, and we cannot accommo- 

date extra guests. It’s a touchy 

situation because my daughter 

and her fiance interact with 

these folks at the church where 

she works. She feels bad enough 

that we had to limit the number 

of guests — and now this situa- 

tion. — FEELING AWKWARD IN 

MICHIGAN 

DEAR FEELING AWK- 

WARD: If this is strictly a 

matter of money and what 

you can afford, sit down 

with your daughter and 

her fiance, explain the situ- 

ation and ask if they would 

like to pay for the “unin- 

vited” guests. If they say 

yes — fine. If they say no, 

call the people who indicat- 

ed they plan to bring extra 

guests and tell them that 

because of space and bud- 

getary considerations, you 

are unable to accommodate 

them. Please don’t feel em- 

barrassed to do so, because 

the people who should feel 

embarrassed are the ones 

who committed this breach 

of etiquette. 

———— 

DEAR ABBY: If I tell my wife 

I’m going to clean the bathroom 

today, but I don’t manage to get 

it done because I was busy with 

other things, is that considered 

breaking a promise even though 

I didn’t use the word “prom- 

ise”? My wife says that if you say 

you’re going to do something, 

then that is a promise. Is she 

right? — A MATTER OF SE- 

MANTICS 

DEAR SEMANTICS: Not 

exactly. If you tell your 

wife you are going to clean 

the bathroom today and 

don’t get around to it, that 

is frustrating, aggravating 

and irresponsible. But if 

she responds to your state- 

ment, “Is that a promise?” 

and you say yes — THAT’S 

a promise. 

———— 

DEAR ABBY: I’m a grown-up 

Southern girl who has had “hon- 

esty is the best policy” pounded 

into my head ever since I can 

remember. My family had a fall- 

ing out when I spoke my mind 

about some family members 

because I was tired of them say- 

ing things behind other people’s 

backs. I felt the truth should be 

expressed, but now I am to blame 

for the family issues when I was 

just being honest. 

Where is the line in the sand 

where the honesty policy be- 

comes brutal and unfeasible? 

— TELLING IT LIKE IT IS 

DEAR TELLING IT: The 

line is crossed when the 

truth is used like a sledge- 

hammer and the words are 

spoken in anger or retalia- 

tion.

Crossword Fun 

By: Eugene Sheffer 

For Saturday 

July 30, 2011 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be 

leery of someone who attempts 

to involve you in a game of 

one-upsmanship, especially if 

money is involved. Chances 

are that he has experience or 

expertise he isn't telling you 

about. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

Even if you believe you have 

money to burn, handle your 

finances with prudence and 

caution. Deal only with the 

realities at hand and don't count 

on Lady Luck carrying you to 

victory. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) 

Fence sitting could get you 

into a lot of trouble, and we're 

not just talking sore haunches. 

Either take a firm position on 

a critical issue or don't get 

involved at all. You don't need 

any additional complications. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) Avoid talking too freely 

to a friend about a matter that 

is supposed to be confidential. 

Although you usually can trust 

this person, she or he might 

misunderstand and spread the 

news. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) If you are too 

easily put upon by friends, a 

certain pal could palm off a 

difficult job on you that he or 

she is avoiding because of the 

responsibility involved. Know 

what you're getting into. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19) Try to keep the needs 

and interests of your pals on 

the same level as your own. If 

you put your wants ahead of 

those of others, you will quickly 

alienate their friendship.

Snuffy Smith 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) Nothing will be 

accomplished if you aren't 

as persevering as you should 

be in regards to your plans. 

Throwing in the towel because 

of a few impediments is folly. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) Be wary if you're offered 

something on the side for 

going along with a secret deal. 

It could turn out to be nothing 

but sugar coating that will turn 

sour at a moment's notice. 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19) Going against your better 

judgment is foolish and you 

know it, so regardless of your 

reasons for wanting to do so, 

back off. When you start ignoring 

your common sense, you're 

in trouble. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) Demanding the impossible 

from a person on whom you 

palmed off a difficult job is 

wrong, and you know it. Give 

him or her the same space 

you would have wanted for 

yourself. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) Be wary of a merchandiser 

who is representing something 

as a bargain when, in fact, 

he might be merely dumping 

it because of some hidden 

imperfections. Shop wisely. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

22) Frustrations will result if 

you aren't realistic about the 

objectives you establish for 

yourself. If they are too overwhelming 

or beyond your 

scope of expertise, you should 

hire a pro.

New fence erected at jail 

A fence designed to separate the new Carter County Jail and the adjacent ball fields was erected 

last week. The fence also blocks a driveway that connected the jail parking lot with the lots at the 

park. When the jail site was approved, the city of Elizabethton required that a fence be installed. 

The new fence also surrounds the parking lot, which recently received a final coat of asphalt and 

painted lines. 

Fueling county fleet major expense 

By Steve Burwick 

STAR STAff 

sburwick@starhq.com 

A wide assortment of vehicles and other equipment is 

needed for the daily operations of county government. 

Carter County’s fleet of vehicles, according to insurance 

records, totals about 165. Adding the County School 

System’s vehicles brings the total to about 282. This does 

not include off-road vehicles such as ATVs, graders, compactors 

and bulldozers. 

According to Carter County Finance Director Ingrid 

Deloach, the county currently has no investment 

plan in place for vehicle replacement; vehicles are 

regularly maintained and are replaced as needed. 

The Carter County Sheriff’s Department has approximately 

80 vehicles, which range in age from 

a 1984 Ford F-150 pickup to three 2010 model 

Dodge Chargers. The majority of CCSD vehicles are 

Ford Crown Victoria police cruisers (approximately 

32), ranging in cost from $9,000 for a 1995 model 

to $27,883 in 2006. Others include a Dodge Ram 

1500, a Ford Explorer, several Chevy Tahoes, a Chevy 

Suburban and an assortment of cars, pickup trucks, 

vans and sport utility vehicles. Some vehicles that are 

seized in drug operations are converted for official use 

while others are sold at auction. 

The Highway Department has 65 vehicles, including 

a 1957 La France firetruck, several Chevy Suburbans, 

sedans, mechanic trucks, large and small pickups and 

an assortment of dump trucks that are used for various 

purposes including paving, hauling construction and 

other materials and clearing roads in the winter. 

The Solid Waste Department owns two 1995 vehicles: 

a Dodge Ram 1500 and a Kenworth T60. The county 

landfill’s aging fleet includes a 1965 Kenworth tractor, 

two Ford trucks (1975 and ’79), a ’79 GMC rolloff truck, 

a 1990 F-Tandem Dump, a ’95 9,000-gallon tank trailer, 

a ’97 Ford pickup, a ’97 Volvo rolloff truck and a ’99 

International 810. 

The Property Assessor’s Department has four vehicles, 

including two Jeep Cherokees and two Chevy Tahoes 

ranging from 1998 to 2003, while the Emergency Management 

Agency owns a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport and 

the Circuit Court Clerk’s office has a 1998 Ford Econoline 

15-passenger van. 

The Planning Department has three vehicles: a 1990 

Dodge SP, a ‘97Jeep and a ’99 Jeep Cherokee Classic. 

The County School System has 78 school buses, along 

with 39 additional vehicles including dump trucks, vans, 

drivers education cars and other vehicles. 

The county’s fuel cost for fiscal year 2010-11 (excluding 

County Schools) was $215,688.28 for gasoline 

and $150,043.99 for diesel. The school system spent 

about $325,000 for fuel.

Litke 

College poobahs 

always the last to 

know — honest 

Details of a widening 

scandal have been 

oozing out of North 

Carolina’s football program 

like toothpaste from the tube 

for a solid year. 

Tweets from players about 

champagne flowing like 

water at a party underwitten by 

agents. An assistant accused of 

acting as a runner for another 

agent. A tutor once employed 

by head football coach Butch 

Davis to work with his own 

teenage son helping players 

write papers and paying off 

their parking tickets. 

Apparently, none of it bothered 

UNC chancellor Holden 

Thorp until he tried brushing 

his teeth in front of a mirror 

the other day. 

So ask yourself: How is it 

that the college poobahs are 

always the last to know? 

“What started as a purely 

athletic issue,” Thorp said 

when he finally got around 

to firing Davis, “has begun to 

chip away at this university’s 

reputation.” 

Chip away? 

With all due respect, 

chancellor, the rest of us are 

already in the deep-drilling 

phase. Chipping away is what 

happened last July, when the 

aforementioned tweet by Marvin 

Austin — suspended for all 

of last season and then scooped 

up in the NFL draft — put 

the NCAA gumshoes on UNC’s 

trail. Now, instead of being a 

school that could justifiably 

boast about doing things “the 

Carolina way,” North Carolina 

looks like every other school 

desperate to grab the handfuls 

of cash floating around college 

sports while trying to stay a step 

ahead of the authorities. 

Somehow, running one 

of the most successful, not 

to mention cleanest, basketball 

programs in the land 

for decades wasn’t enough. 

UNC wanted to be a football 

factory, too. It doesn’t take a 

math major — nor like Thorp 

a Ph.D in chemistry — to 

compare the rosters in the two 

sports and know that the risk to 

a school’s reputation increases 

six-fold. Just ask Oregon, where 

the wheels are already turning 

furiously. 

We’ve been down this road 

plenty of times before. Ohio 

State and Tennessee, to name 

just two, are traveling it even as 

you read this, eager to persuade 

the NCAA not to add to the 

pile of punishments they’ve 

already heaped on themselves. 

That’s what axing Davis and 

the retirement of longtime UNC 

athletic director Dick Baddour 

— who like Thorp stood 

squarely behind the coach 

until now — were about. 

To call what’s happening at 

North Carolina a mess isn’t forward-looking 

enough. It won’t 

be cleaned up for years. The 

school still owes Davis as much 

as $2.7 million. As recently as 

Monday, he was at the Atlantic 

Coast Conference media day 

talking about his plans for the 

coming season. He again said 

then that he didn’t know about 

the improprieties, and even in 

n See LITKE, 4B 

During off-season camps, the 

new maestro of Hampton boys 

basketball devoted most of his 

attention to the “greenhorn” section. 

That would be the section making up 

the bulk of coach Ned Smith’s Bulldog 

team. 

“I knew we were going to be young,” 

Smith said. “When you graduate that 

much, and they did most of the playing 

… We didn’t play much other than those 

five seniors last season. We had a couple 

of (regular) subs. We’re just rebuilding 

this year — that’s about all you can say.” 

After one season as an assistant for 

the now-retired Jerry White, Smith has 

inherited a squad nearly picked clean by 

graduation following a trip to the Class A 

Friday, July 29, 2011 

state semifinals. 

Not surprisingly, the Bulldogs 

took some lumps in camp stops 

at Maryville, King, Gate City (Va.) 

and Wartburg. 

“We didn’t win too many,” 

Smith said. “We played hard; we 

just can’t get out of the 40s (in 

scoring). We’re just young and 

inexperienced.” 

Although not on hand for 

the entire tour, inside man Tyler 

Trusler made his presence felt in a positive 

way. 

“He was a bright spot,” Smith said. 

“You know, a senior and a leader and 

stuff like that. We just kind of played a lot 

of guys, trying to feel them out.” 

Trusler, of course, has played a 

lot of quality minutes in his career. 

As a team, that’s just not the case. 

“We played about 10 players 

(in camps), subbed them in and 

out,” Smith said. “We just couldn’t 

put up a lot of points. The kids are 

playing really hard. We’re just not 

scoring right now. Hopefully, we’ll 

get a little experience and it will 

come.”

Summer League 

Elizabethton stays 

on roll at Complex 

By riCk sheek 

STAR STAFF 

rsheek@starhq.com 

Elizabethton continues to tear 

up the East Tennessee Sports Complex 

summer basketball league. 

Continuing their torrid pace, 

the Cyclones disposed of that 

school’s junior varsity squad 82- 

37 on Thursday evening. 

“It’s a good workout, especially 

for the JV team I think,” Elizabethton 

coach Steve Honeycutt 

said. “Any time the JV team plays 

an older team, it’s good experience 

for them and a confidence 

builder — even when you lose. 

For the varsity team, I think it’s 

just a chance to work on specific 

things and to get better.” 

Nikolai Simpson paced the 

Cyclones with 13 points and seven 

rebounds. Aaron Miller added 11 

points and 10 boards, while Justin 

Wandell netted 13 and Elijah 

Redd scored 12. 

“Nikolai is hard to stop in the 

post and he’s going to be a huge 

asset this year.” Honeycutt said. 

“The big thing, although our 

guards didn’t score much, it’s a 

good chance for them to be able 

to penetrate and get the ball to 

the big guys to score in the post.” 

Elizabethton led 50-17 at the 

break. Simpson muscled his way to 

11 in the first half, while Redd hit 

seven. Scoring six apiece were Jordan 

Hinshaw, Miller and Wandell. 

“It’s a confidence builder,” 

Honeycutt said. “All of these

builders, and we’ve played

Browne’s eagles give him U.S. Senior Open lead 

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Olin Browne has circled 

the globe playing professional golf for the past 27 

years. He knows it takes a lot more than 18 holes 

and a lucky shot to win a major championship. 

“Are you ready to give me the trophy today?” 

he asked an observer who wondered why he was so 

nonchalant about leading the U.S. Senior Open by 

two shots. “That’s why.” 

Browne eagled two holes in a five-hole span 

coming down the stretch and finished with a 7-under 

64 Thursday to take the top spot on a hot and 

humid day at Inverness Club. 

Browne, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour 

in his third year on the over-50 circuit, was 1 under 

on the day and four shots off the lead as he came 

to the third hole, his 12th. After birdieing it, he hit 

a hybrid-3 from 216 yards that came to rest 6 feet

Ochocinco, 

Haynesworth 

to Patriots; 

Bush, Kolb 

also on move 

The AssociATed Press 

There goes Albert Haynesworth, 

heading from Mike Shanahan’s 

Redskins to Bill Belichick’s Patriots 

— where he’ll be joined by New 

England’s other big pickup Thursday: 

Chad Ochocinco. 

Reggie Bush? The Saints sent 

him to the Dolphins. And the Kevin 

Kolb saga ended the way pretty much 

everyone expected, with a trade from 

the Eagles to the Cardinals. 

NFL clubs made a move a minute 

Thursday — and those big-name 

deals were only the beginning. 

Day 3 of the compressed, postlockout 

offseason also included 

more contract agreements and plenty 

of cuts, which teams were finally 

allowed to start announcing at 4:01 

p.m. ET. Among the players getting 

released were Vince Young by the 

Titans, Nate Clements by the 49ers, 

and Jake Delhomme by the Browns. 

In the first dramatic example 

of how the new labor deal’s rookie 

salary system will affect elite players, 

No. 2 overall draft pick Von Miller 

got $21 million guaranteed over 

four years from the Denver Broncos. 

The No. 2 pick in 2010, Detroit Lions 

defensive lineman Ndamukong 

Suh, signed a five-year deal worth 

$40 million guaranteed and as 

much as $68 million overall. 

Broncos football chief John Elway 

tweeted, “We have agreed to terms 

with our 1st round pick, LB Von Miller. 

Can’t wait to get him on the field.” 

Cornerback, Johnathan Joseph 

agreed to terms with the Houston 

Texans, according to a person with 

knowledge of the deal, who spoke to 

The Associated Press on condition 

of anonymity because the signing 

hadn’t been announced. 

Belichick has had success reining 

in outspoken, do-it-my-way 

players such as receiver Randy Moss, 

and now New England’s coach gets 

two more guys who fit that description 

in defensive tackle Haynesworth 

and receiver Ochocinco. 

All the Patriots gave up for 

Haynesworth was a 2013 fifth-round 

pick. By shipping the defensive tackle 

to New England, the Redskins rid 

themselves of a two-year distraction 

and fiasco of a free-agent signing 

— Haynesworth was guaranteed 

a then-record $41 million in the 

seven-year, $100 million contract he 

got in the early hours of free agency 

in 2009. On the same day, he infamously 

declared: “You’re not going 

to remember Albert Haynesworth as 

a bust.” 

Hmmmmmm. 

Haynesworth played in only 20 

games for Washington, making 6 1/2 

sacks, and was in constant legal trouble 

away from the field. Last season, 

he feuded with Shanahan and was 

suspended for the final four games for 

conduct detrimental to the club. 

A person with knowledge of the 

Ochocinco deal told the AP he agreed 

to a new three-year contract with the 

Patriots. It was not known what the 

Bengals received in return. 

In the Kolb deal, Philadelphia 

received cornerback Dominique 

Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second-round 

draft pick from Arizona, 

which was in need of a starting quarterback. 

Kolb had lost the Eagles’ No. 

1 QB job to Michael Vick and wanted 

a chance to lead a team. 

The Dolphins finalized their trade 

for Bush by negotiating a new twoyear 

contract for nearly $10 million 

with the running back. New Orleans 

gets reserve safety Jonathon Amaya 

in the swap, which also involves an 

exchange of draft picks. 

Litke 

n Continued from 1B 

firing him, Thorp said he believed Davis. To be fair, 

the NCAA’s notice of allegations in June outlined 

nine potential major violations and none were tied 

to Davis. 

No matter. 

Last year went south after the season-long 

suspension of seven players — including three 

who were picked in the first two rounds in the NFL 

draft — and this one is heading fast in the same 

direction. What that means for recruiting efforts in 


Unaka’s Brandon Pierce draws the attention of the Steel Curtain’s Wes Murray. 



some pretty great competition in 

Unicoi and the Sullivan County 

teams.” 

The Junior Cyclones got 10 

points from John Morton. Tyler 

Nichols tossed in nine. 

Nathan Norris totaled seven 

points and eight rebounds. 

Hunter Greene drained two 

3-pointers in the second half. 

Alex Jones came up with two 

steals. 

The varsity won the rebounding 

battle 40-17 and went 8 of 

14 at the foul line. The JV was 

3 of 8 on free throws, all before 

intermission. 

Hinshaw totaled eight points 

and two steals. Michael Wagner 

pulled down six boards and 

hit six points, while Zak Norman 

had seven points and two 

steals. 

Jesse Honeycutt and Hunter 

Combs scored five apiece. 

“It’s good competition,” 

Coach Honeycutt said. “This 

complex will help all of these 

teams to grow a lot.” 

Unaka ........................ 72 

Steel Curtain .............. 62 

Another hot team in this 

summer competition has been 

the Rangers, and they were 

again sharp behind 13 points 

from Jeffrey Yerks. 

Danny Bales chipped in 11 

points. Alex Baltaji totaled nine 

points and 11 rebounds. 

The Steel Curtain got 23 

points and 10 boards from 

Wesley Murray. Tyler Street cut 

loose for 17 points, 13 rebounds 

and three steals. 

The Rangers surged to a 

15-point advantage in the first 

half. The Steel Curtain pulled 

within 34-28 at the break. 

The deficit was cut to four. 


Alex Baltaji of Unaka works from the top of the key. 

Danny Bales nailed a 3-pointer 

and his put-back put Unaka up 

47-36. 

Baltaji popped a 3-pointer 

and the advantage was pushed 

to 51-37. The Rangers’ largest 

lead down the stretch was 19. 

Unaka prevailed on the glass 

60-38 and was 7 of 12 on free 

throws. The Steel Curtain went 

8 of 15 at the line. 

The Steel Curtain’s Brady 

Hazelwood totaled 11 points 

and three steals. Dustin Jenkins 

the next few seasons — even if UNC doesn’t lose 

any scholarships — practically guarantees at least 

five more years of mediocrity. 

Speaking of time, it’s been a dozen years now 

since university presidents took control of the NCAA 

with a mandate to clean up the shady dealings in 

the two big revenue-producing sports and sign a 

truce on “an athletic arms race.” What they did 

instead was hide the brooms, ramp up their own 

budgets and promise to behave better. The scandals 

hauled in 11 boards. 

Colin Powell made three 

steals. Dakota Potter came up 

with two. 

For Unaka, Jake Taylor totaled 

eight points and six rebounds. 

Scoring five each were 

Eli Rasnick, Austin Clawson 

and White. 

Makings two steals each 

were Yerks, Bailey and Jeffrey 

Ingram. Brandon Pierce and 

Cody Hardin pulled down five 

boards apiece. 

Combs 


look the same now as they did then: academic 

fraud, cheating coaches, corner-cutting recruiters, 

athletes devising schemes to get paid and agents 

hanging around preying on easy marks. The only 

real difference is that the top college brass now 

must stand in front of microphones and explain 

why they didn’t know, let alone act, when they 

should have. 

“We tried to hold things together and restore 

confidence in the football program, and I felt in 

As expected, Titans 

release QB Young 

NASHVILLE (AP) — The 

Tennessee Titans released Vince 

Young on Thursday, finally cutting 

ties with the quarterback they 

made the No. 3 pick overall in the 

2006 draft. 

The move comes nearly eight 

months after owner Bud Adams 

said the team would trade or release 

Young. 

Young is 30-18 in five seasons, 

including a playoff loss, but just 

13-14 against teams finishing a 

season at .500 or better. He’s battled 

questions over his work ethic, 

leadership and injuries. 

He ended 2010 on injured 

reserve after suffering a seasonending 

thumb injury on his right, 

throwing hand Nov. 21. That was 

the day he tossed his shoulder pads 

into the stands and told off thencoach 

Jeff Fisher in front of the rest 

of the team before storming out. 

Cloudland journeyed to Oak 

Ridge and Knox Karns to let its 

competitive juices flow. 

“We’ve got just one senior 

on the team this year, Jonathan 

Hill,” Carpenter said. “We’ve got 

another kid, Dustin Johnson, 

who’s hurt — but Jonathan’s 

the only one who’s played the 

whole time. About all summer we 

started three juniors, a freshman 

and either a senior or a sophomore.” 

According to their coach, Zac 

Potter, Dylan McClellan and Taylor 

Whitehead played excellent 

camp ball. 

“They had real good summers,” 

Carpenter said. “We’re 

working real hard in the weight 

room right now. We got pushed 

around a little bit. We’re going to 

try and fix that before the season 

gets here.” 

HAPPY VALLEY 

No different than Ned Smith, 

coach Charlie Bayless was dealing 

with plenty of inexperience 

from his roundball bunch. 

“We don’t have too many varsity 

boys with experience,” Bayless 

said. “Most of the boys are off 

the B-team from last year.” 

The Warriors first made a go 

of things at King. 

“We about split with them 

over there,” Bayless said. “We 

need experience right now more 

than anything. We’ve got one boy 

back from last year that played 

a lot of ball, and that’s Donivan 

(Grindstaff). 

“We learned some things and 

played some pretty good ballclubs.” 

From there came a campout 

in Greeneville. 

“We split down there and 

played fairly better down there 

because we had more experience 

playing,” Bayless said. 

As expected, Grindstaff was 

the main man for the Warriors 

in their off-season performances 

— with Brennen Bailey, Brad 

Townsend and Ben Goulds holding 

their own. 

Those showing at least shades 

of promise, revealed Bayless, were 

Justin Reagan, Seth Davis, Josh 

Price, Kelton Brzostowski, Tyler 

Marlowe and Jonathan Holt. 

“Last year, we didn’t beat 

anybody bad enough to where we 

could get some experience,” Bayless 

said. “If you’ve got a good 

ballclub, you get to beat somebody 

by enough to bring your 

young kids off the bench. When 

Adams once said Young “is my 

guy,” but general manager and 

executive vice president Mike Reinfeldt 

made the argument it was 

time for him to go. 

“As we have said since January, 

it was time for us to go in a different 

direction at quarterback and 

we have done that,” Reinfeldt said 

in a statement Thursday. 

With the new labor deal, the Titans 

had to move quickly to avoid 

paying Young a $4.25 million 

roster bonus that had previously 

been due on the 10th day of a new 

league year. He also was scheduled 

for $8.5 million in salary this 

season, making him too pricey to 

trade to another team. 

Young said in January he 

looked forward to a new beginning 

and a new team. He has been 

working out throughout the lockout 

near his Houston home. 

you’re having a tough year, it’s 

hard to play those boys.” 

HAMPTON (girls) 

Camp play can be a ho-hum 

endeavor. That wasn’t the case 

for the injury-riddled yet spunky 

Lady Bulldogs. 

“We far exceeded my expectations 

during our camps,” said 

coach Leon Tolley, whose squad 

ventured to Virginia’s Gate City 

and J.J. Kelly. “Most of the time we 

would have six or seven players to 

play back-to-back games, because 

we would be taking anywhere from 

11 to 14 players for two teams — 

varsity and junior varsity.” 

Already without Dorothy 

Dugger, who suffered an ACL 

injury during the Region 1-A 

semifinals, Hampton had Katie 

Burchett meet the same misfortune 

in practice — cutting her 

camp time short. Also, Danielle 

Guinn went down with a hurt 

knee in the first of the two camps 

(Gate City), knocking her out for 

the rest of the summer. 

“We were thinner than a 

pauper’s wallet,” Tolley said. 

“It all depends on how hard the 

girls work during their rehab as 

to when they will be back on the 

court.” 

On the sunnier side of life, the 

Lady Bulldogs welcomed back 

Hannah Irick for some JV games 

at JJK. She blew out an ACL last 

season, and was cleared in mid- 

June to get back on the court. 

Functioning without Dugger, 

conveyed Tolley, had its positive side. 

“At times in the past, the 

other players were too dependent 

or stood around and waited for 

her to score,” he said. “But they 

didn’t have that luxury with her 

out. They got to see how important 

she really is to us, and also 

got to play some different roles 

themselves — both offensively 

and defensively.” 

Furthermore, losing Guinn 

put extra pressure on Paige 

Dugger, Haley Trusler, Burchett 

and Monica Olvera to handle the 

ball and run the show — which 

they did reasonably well. Paige 

Montgomery, Jessica Burleson, 

Katie Eulitt and Kaylee Birchfield 

improved on boxing out bigger 

opponents — Hampton has 

no player over 5-8 — as things 

progressed. 

“We took some pretty good 

lickings, as expected, but we also 

managed to record some impressive 

wins over some quality 

teams,” Tolley said. 

order for us to have a fair chance for that, I would 

have to support coach Davis,” Thorp said. “I’ve 

come to the conclusion that we’ve given that 

enough time, and now it’s time for us to take the 

actions that we’re taking.” 

Like everything else about this story from the 

start, chancellor, too late.
