DESCRIPTION
A great community newspaper serving Powell and the surrounding areaTRANSCRIPT
By Ruth WhiteRural/Metro staged a mock crash scene
in the parking lot of Powell High School last week to encourage students to understand the seriousness of driving. Sponsored by the Powell Business and Professional As-sociation, Powell’s Teen Driver Awareness program has received statewide recognition.
The weeklong event was highlighted by Tuesday’s mock crash which included victims, ambulances, fi re trucks and the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. The KCSO helicopter landed to transport victims in the fi rst assembly. It was called away and Life Star was sum-moned for the second. Both helicopters landed in the parking lot in front of the school as emergency lights swirled and motorists on Emory Road gawked to see what was happening.
The man with the microphone was Gary Morris, communications manager for Rural/Metro and a former president of the PBPA.
“This is something we don’t want to hap-pen to you,” he said, as students and teach-ers surrounded the mock wreck scene. “That saw is about 3 inches from your head. It’s not a fast process as we open the car and then ‘package’ the victims. That’s what we call it. We put them in a collar and on a board.”
Morris has worked many accident scenes, but it never gets easier.
“We all think we’re 10 feet tall and bul-let proof,” he said. “Death is fi nal. You don’t come back. There is no do-over.”
State Farm insurance agency owner Sage Kohler coordinated the week-long event. She said there is an 80 percent chance a male driver will have an accident within three years of receiving his license to drive. It used to be 30 percent for girls, but now it’s 65 per-cent. Why? “Texting,” yelled the students.
Kohler told of coming upon a wreck and
watching a 22-year-old driver die. “In a split second, it can happen to you,” she said.
The program included visits on Wednes-day morning by Bojangle’s workers hand-ing out coupons for free food to students who were wearing a seat belt. The Chick-fi l-A cow came by with coupons when school dismissed.
On Thursday, the program culminated as business leaders joined school personnel to give away more than $5,000 in cash and prizes. Students who pledged to be better drivers were eligible for the drawings.
Ten seniors’ names were drawn ran-domly in a countdown to the top prize – $2,000 in college scholarship money.
Members of the Powell Business and Professional Association that sponsored the event and prizes included Rural/Met-ro, Emory Family Practice, Computer De-pot, Pools by Heritage, Vaughn Pharmacy, Sage Kohler with State Farm and Laura Bailey with Realty Executives. Sandra Clark and Amanda Shell contributed to this report.

Mock Wreck
Sultana sinking worse than Titanic
Although its history has been largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Ken-tucky, Michigan and Ohio. Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Andersonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition. With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard. More were killed than those who perished on the Titanic.

So there I sat, napkin al-ready tossed onto my plate, eating a fruit cup with one hand while taking notes with the other. The speaker started talking about table manners.

Waiter, there’s an etiquette coach in my soup!
Ashley J. Lawrence, business etiquette coach, speaks to the Powell Business and Profes-sional Association.
Rural/Metro Fire Chief Jerry Harnish sat at the next table over, his starched pink napkin folded neatly across his lap.
“I’ll speak fi rst about napkins,” said Ashley J. Lawrence, MBA. “The nap-kin remains in your lap the whole time.”
Harnish smiled primly.Sitting next to him, R.
Larry Smith grabbed his pink napkin from the center of the table and tossed it in Jerry’s lap. It was another classic moment at the PBPA.
Ashley J. Lawrence owns AJL Consulting, advising on business and donor eti-quette. Her tips are relevant for us all:
First impressions count: What do you look like? Smell like?
Business meal: The napkin remains in your lap the whole time. The salt and pepper shakers are mar-ried. Pass them together. Offer bread, then butter to the person on your left, then take your own, then pass to the right. Bread fi rst, then butter. BMW (not the car).
Remember Bread (solids) on the left, Middle (where your plate goes) and Water (liquids) on the right. Sil-verware: Start on the out-side and work in.
Email: Do not respond when mad. Reply All: Use with caution. Blind Copy: Don’t use at all. Emails (and texts) are like diamonds – forever. Return emails and voice mails within 24 hours.
Cell phones: When you have a client or donor sitting across the desk, turn off your phone. When going into an important meeting, leave the phone in the car. In any meet-ing, turn it off. And choose your ring tones wisely.
Speaker phones: Don’t eat your lunch or sip through a straw while using. Always identify the people in the room to the person on the other end.
The note: Pen and paper still work. People will open a hand-written note fi rst. End your letter with a “Southern touch” such as “with warm-est regards” or “best re-gards” rather than “sincere-ly.” Communicate through the year, not just when you
need the donation or sale.Business cards: Don’t
make the type too small.RSVP: Respond either
yes or no. Thanks for a great pro-
gram, Ashley Lawrence.
■ Life on theNew FrontierFrontier Communica-
tions won the business card lottery and got to present a 5 minute infomercial at the PBPA. The designated speaker was Powell guy John Bayless, the technical super-visor for Frontier proper-ties in Powell and Rutledge, Tenn., and Fairmount, Ga.
Frontier is a Fortune 500 Company with revenue of $5.24 billion, 3.41 million customers and approximate-ly 15,400 employees, all U.S. based. The company was in-corporated in 1935 with its corporate headquarters in Stamford, Conn., and now operates in 27 states.
“We are big,” Bayless said, “but we’re also the lo-cal phone company that the Scarbros started 92 years ago in Powell, Tenn.”
In Powell, Frontier has 45 employees who repre-sent 562 years of service. About half of the employees are work-at-home call cen-ter staff. “We’re neighbors serving neighbors,” Bayless said. He asked businesses to call for an audit which could save them money.

Families say thanks for love and prayersThe families of Josie Meredith Fine want to thank
the Powell and surrounding communities for their love, support and prayers following Josie’s death.
The outpouring by friends, families, schools, churches and others who knew Josie and those whose lives were touched by her charm and fun-loving spirit has and continues to uplift the family during this ter-rible loss.
Josie’s motto was “Live in Love.” So, in her memory, we are doing just that! We thank the Lord we were chosen to share in her short life.
Thank you seems so little, but it is heartfelt. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

By Ruth WhiteInternet scammers be-
ware! The senior adults in the Heiskell community re-cently hosted Tammy Rolen with Frontier Communica-tions and they are now more knowledgeable about Inter-net safety.
“Internet safety doesn’t just involve children,” said Rolen, “adults are at risk too.” Adults are a growing popula-tion of Internet users and al-though it can be a wonderful tool for research, keeping in touch and shopping, scam-mers are just waiting to steal information and identities from unsuspecting people.
Three steps to defending yourself if your Internet safe-ty has been compromised is to fi rst protect your computer through security software, back up fi les regularly to disk or external hard drive and if attacked, seek professional help immediately.
Always keep personal in-formation secure, including Social Security number, cred-it card numbers and mother’s maiden name. Only give this information to trusted sites and never to sites that pop up randomly on screen.
Internet scams include phishing and pharming and allow unwanted indi-viduals to obtain personal information. Rolen advises individuals to protect their identity by monitoring their fi nancial statements and credit reports, shred mail and documents, moni-tor postal mail, protect your Social Security num-ber, and beware of shoulder surfi ng.
Social networks are great ways to stay connected with family and friends, but too much information posted on these sites might lead to un-necessary theft. “Never post that you are heading out on vacation for a period of time

and never post personal in-formation,” Rolen reminds the crowd. She also stated that it is best not to post in-formation on the Internet that you wouldn’t want your neighbors, pastor or boss to read. “Once information is posted on the Internet, it’s out there for good.”
If you are a victim of In-ternet fraud, Rolen advises that passwords to accounts should be changed, the credit card companies and bank should be notifi ed, ac-count numbers should be changed and that the in-cident should be reported quickly. “If it’s a deal that is too good to be true, it prob-ably is.”
The next meeting of the Heiskell seniors will be Thursday, May 10. Noelle Lewis with Edward Jones will be at the center dis-cussing saving money, re-tirement and investing. The meeting and announce-ments begins at 11 a.m. with lunch following. Other important dates at the cen-ter include 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 28, self-defense classes. Cost is $25 and payable at the door; Plant and rummage sale at the center, Saturday, May 5.

Remembering the good times
By Sandra ClarkAlumni of Powell High
gathered for a great meal and fellowship at Jubilee Banquet Facility on April 7. The reunion is always on the first Saturday in April, and in case you might for-get, the slogan was em-bossed on the orange and black pens on each table.
While celebrating the past, the a l u m n i are always f o c u s e d on the fu-ture. This year seven s c h o l a r -
ships were given as two families honored members who had passed: Allan Gill and J.D. Jett.
Scholarship win-ners were Canaan Lind-
sey (Jett); Alexis Gil-lespie and M e r i d i t h H a w k i n s (Gill); Ry-lan Bled-soe, Powell High Class of 2010 who is majoring
in engineering at UT; Ca-leb Williamson, Class of 2012; and Miles Ferguson
and Brook-lyn Stan-ley, both members of the Class of 2011.
E n t e r -t a i n m e n t was superb by PHS a l u m n i
Judy Morris and her sister, Lisa Morris Wright, along with Connie Layne. Door prizes were presented by Carolyn Wells and Sandra Davis. Nancy Herd capped the evening by leading the singing of the Powell High
School Alma Mater.Outgoing president Gina
Jones handed the gavel to Mary Mahoney, who had served as her vice presi-dent. The board of direc-tors also includes Terri Rose, Vivian McFalls, Herd, Bobby Hodge, Mike Bayless, Carolyn Wells, Mary Hodge-Cunning-ham, David Landreth and Sandra Davis.
Board advisors are Nita Buell Black, Jacki Kirk, Gail Ludlow, Don Cannon and Lynette Brown.
The Class of 1962 was honored as the “golden grads.” And we don’t have to wonder when next year’s banquet will hap-pen. Mark your calendar for the first Saturday in April – always.

As partisans challenge her
right to runImagine you’re a candi-
date and the election com-mission says you’re not a bona fide Knox County resident and schedules a meeting to compel you go to court to defend your right to run. You’d appreci-ate them telling you when and where the above-men-tioned meeting was going to happen, wouldn’t you?
Of course you would. And so would Shelley
B r e e d i n g , the lone D e m o c r a t in the run-ning for the new 89th D i s t r i c t seat in the Ten ne s s e e House of R epr e s en-
tatives. She lives in the Elizabeth Downs subdi-vision in Karns. The An-derson County line runs through her property. Knox County Election Commission administrator Cliff Rodgers challenged Breeding’s right to run for the Knox County House seat because she pays her property taxes to Ander-son County through a mortgage company. She is a registered Knox County voter.
State election coordi-nator Mark Goins, a for-mer legislator who holds a law degree, agrees with Rodgers. In a letter dat-ed Wednesday, April 11, he opined that Breeding should be voting in An-derson County but said he figured this issue would end up in court, so he di-rected the Knox County Election Commission to go to Chancery Court and ask for a declaratory judgment to settle it.
Breeding, also an at-torney, says she meets the preponderance of the stat-utory criteria required to satisfy residency require-ments and says she wishes Rodgers had notified her of the election commission meeting set for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, although she may be obliged to be else-where.
“We haven’t been invit-ed to present anything at all at this meeting,” Breed-ing said. “And I’m on jury duty – in Knox County – next week. They’ve called a meeting to dispute my status as a Knox County resident while I’m on Knox
VictorAshe

No notice to Breeding

County jury duty starting Monday morning. That seems ironic. We’re not sure what they’re going to be doing at this meeting and they don’t send us any-thing, so I would have had no way of knowing about it if (a reporter) hadn’t for-warded it to me. That’s just amazing.”
She also pays Knox County’s wheel tax and personal property taxes and said she consulted the election commission when she moved to her new home in 2008. She was advised that she and her husband could make a one-time choice between Knox or Anderson County as their official residency.
“It’s not like we’ve been in Anderson County and tried to sneak in. When we bought this lot, there was no house on it. Now, un-der Mark Goins’ theory, we could put a front balcony on our master bedroom and suddenly our house is in Knox County. It doesn’t make sense. He’s relying on a 1931 court case in-stead of the statute. Maybe that’s why he went into government, not law.”
Is she going to fight?“I think so. I think I
know the law. I’m a Knox County resident and I have been for years.”
What causes TVA to be-have in such an arrogant manner? What has hap-pened to an agency which used to command such re-spect and support within the Valley? Today TVA is seen as bloated, big sala-ries, arrogant and insensi-tive to taxpayer concerns. It is often their way or the highway. CEO Tom Kilgore has generated new en-emies for TVA, assisted by a board of directors which declines to intervene for ratepayers.
The current controversy over tree cuttings within Knoxville and Knox County symbolizes this situation. TVA has managed to irri-tate people who normally don’t take sides on TVA is-sues. Clear cutting all trees under the power lines is not required and is harmful to the environment. TVA claims trimming trees over thousands of miles would be too costly.
Being lectured by TVA on cost savings is hard to take. Only a week ago Kilgore, who is paid mil-lions annually, admitted a $2 billion error at Watts
TVA: Lost in the valley
Bar. Two billion dollars is not a minor oversight. Someone was asleep on this one.
TVA celebrated the opening of the Dogwood Arts Festival last Wednes-day with the clear cutting of trees off Wellington Drive in West Hills. What clueless TVA leader made the decision to do this the same day civic leaders launched this year’s Dog-wood Festival?
Is TVA also clear cutting trees within the national parks and national forests where their power lines go? TVA is also worrying about dress codes for their public hearings which now has them in federal court. Why bother? Doesn’t TVA have more important things to do than telling Chris Lee not to wear red
paint to a public hearing? Who cares? And now they have four attorneys on the case in federal court – all at taxpayer expense.
No doubt they will have four more attorneys on the Westminster tree cutting case, also now in federal court.
TVA has lost its way in the valley.
Mike Hammond says he is not applying to be CEO of the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Cor-poration (Gloria Ray’s old job) until the differences between KTSC and Mayor Tim Burchett are resolved. He does not want to be in the middle of that situa-tion. It needs to be resolved anyway. Burchett helped force the issue which ul-timately forced Ray to de-part. Some KTSC board members are still miffed over Burchett and Rogero intervening and demand-ing Ray’s ouster.
The KTSC’s current plan to hold public hear-ings on the public’s views should be co-ordinated with Mayors Burchett and Rogero if they want buy in
for the final product. Right now KTSC does not seem to be working closely with Burchett.
Election Commis-sion member Dennis Francis, one of two Dem-ocratic members, missed the March 26 Commission meeting. No explanation was given. Francis is bright and informed. He is an as-tute partisan. His absence is a loss for Democrats.
City Council mem-ber Duane Grieve at-tended the recent Island Home waterfront hearing. I failed to include him as being present along with five other council mem-bers. Audio there was non-existent. City is working to find a new sound system for public hearings. That’s something they needed yesterday.
Gov. Bill Haslam will be at Blount Mansion on Friday afternoon, April 20. He has recommended $500,000 in the state bud-get for the Mansion’s capi-tal campaign which will help considerably in re-storing the Mansion from serious deterioration. He earns our thanks for this good use of tax dollars for historic preservation.
Fixing the Uniformed Offi cers Pension Plan
Aff ordable housingKnoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero (at right) talks with City
Council member Finbarr Saunders following last week’s dedi-
cation of the Dutch Valley View apartment complex (above).
Designed to face a courtyard, the six units create a sense of
community while sheltering residents from the noise of I-640.
Sharp’s Ridge is in the distance. Each unit has three bedrooms
and two baths and two are accessible to those with mobility
disabilities. Regional HUD fi eld offi ce director Mary Wilson said
through this development, people “can know how HUD funds
touch individuals.” Owned by the Knox Housing Partnership,
the units will be rented. Dutch Valley View apartments was de-
signed by Elizabeth Eason Architects. It replaces a foreclosed

By Sandra ClarkWith a little luck, the Charter Re-
view Committee will get a proposal on the November ballot to rein in the Uni-formed Offi cers Pension Plan. With its defi ned benefi t and mandated three percent annual cost of living increase, the UOPP has become the beast that ate the budget.
With the school board asking for $7 million a year for 5 years over a con-tinuation budget, we’re looking at just over $8 million as Knox County’s con-tribution to its various pension plans in the upcoming budget, according to Commission chair Mike Hammond.
Of that, $4.6 million is required for the UOPP.
The Charter Review Committee formed a 5-member subcommittee to bring a specifi c proposal about UOPP reform. Farragut resident Diane Jablonski is the subcommittee’s secre-
tary. Other members are chair Keith Lind-sey, manager of the Home Federal Bank at Downtown West; County Commission-ers Amy Broyles and Mike Brown; and re-tired county Finance Department offi cial Ann Acuff.
“I’m more about fi xing language than writing a pension plan,” said Jablonski.
“The intent (when voters approved the UOPP) was to create a special plan with richer benefits for uni-formed officers over and above what the general employees have. I support that intent,” she said. But Jablonski wants to remove the specifics from the charter to enable County Com-mission to deal with changes over
time. “It’s crucial to note that the Blackwell decision prevents anyone – voters or the commission – from changing benefits from anyone now hired, even if the employee has not worked five years to be vested. If he or she stays employed for five year and vests in the pension, those ben-efits cannot be changed.”
So the subcommittee met last week with Broyles absent. On a 4-0 vote, the group removed “defi ned benefi t” from Section A and eliminated Sections B and C. They will meet again to con-sider Sections D and E, Jablonski said. These sections should not be eliminat-ed, Jablonski said.
The subcommittee’s recommenda-tions will go to the full 27-member Charter Review Committee which can accept them, reject them or change them. Changes adopted will go to vot-ers. Stay tuned.

This is fellowship week for old Vols.
A hundred or more for-mer Tennessee athletic let-termen will gather for golf on Friday at Avalon. Hall of Fame linebacker Steve Kiner has been practicing. Fleet receiver-running back Stan-ley Morgan will participate. Old tailback Herky Payne will talk a very good game but probably won’t play.
Chick-fi l-A will feed the multitude. Balls will fl y, some in the designed direction. Gift bags, plaques and prizes will follow. Judy Constantine, the
glue who once held the T Club together, will be praised.
The gathering will resume Saturday at the Lauricella Room in Neyland Stadium, in advance of the Orange and White game. Some will stop spinning stories and go watch football, the better
to critique new coaches, the proposed running attack and the realigned defensive front. The game is free.
The golf event honors the memory of Jimmy “Cowboy” Hill. Thousands of Tennessee fans don’t know him. He came as a wingback from an unde-feated team at Maryville High to become an outstanding de-fensive back in 1949 and 1950. He was deserving of all-star recognition but there wasn’t enough to go around.
This was the era of Hank Lauricella, Doug Atkins, Bert Rechichar, Jack Stroud, John Michels, Gordon Polofsky, Andy Kozar, Jim Haslam, Pug Pearman, Jimmy Hahn, Ted Daffer, J.W. Sherrill, Bob
Davis – the list of great ones goes on and on.
Hill had several claims to fame. As former teammate Ollie Keller tells it, Jimmy was nicknamed Cowboy by Gen. Robert R. Neyland and not because he wore boots or a wide-brimmed hat. If Hill hit a runner or receiver and didn’t get a clean knockdown, he “wrangled” his foe to the ground as a rodeo cowboy might throw a calf.
Neyland loved the com-petitive spirit. Teammates loved the label. The tag stuck.
Hill was a hero in the 1951 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas. Lauricella had the historic 75-yard run. Kozar scored twice. Cowboy made
big fourth-quarter plays that proved pivotal.
With the Longhorns lead-ing 14-13 and driving, Hill in-tercepted a pass and returned 28 yards. Tennessee fumbled away that opportunity but Texas fumbled it back on the next play – and Hill recov-ered. The Vols responded with the winning touchdown.
Hill was a winner. He played on the NFL champion Detroit Lions in ’51. After a military climb to colonel, he played briefl y with Pitts-burgh and fi nished with the Ottawa Rough Riders. He was state chair of the Selec-tive Service System.
He was a businessman and chair of the Blount
County chamber of com-merce. He served on the Maryville City Council. He was on two bank boards.
He was president of the UT lettermen’s club when the golf tournament idea hatched. Others found that a good reason to tie his name to the event.
There was only one Cow-boy but there are hundreds of former Volunteers who played a part in what Tennessee ath-letics used to be. Many added other signifi cant accomplish-ments. Each has a story.
Old Vols are very inter-esting. They deserve to be remembered.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His ad-dress is [email protected].

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe
The realization, when it came, smacked Thomas Fla-gel right in the face.
Flagel, an assistant pro-fessor of American history at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tenn., has been studying the Civil War, and reading newspa-pers from the period, all of his professional life. He said, though, that for years he missed what had literally been right in front of him.
“The newspapers were telling me the Confederacy was dying when the editors weren’t,” Flagel told the Knox-ville Civil War Roundtable at Bearden Banquet Hall last week. He spoke on “Messen-gers of Death: How the Press Presented the Civil War.”
When Southern printing presses died, Flagel said, parts to replace them were in the North.
Northern newspapers
had a one- to two-day r e s p o n s e time to n e w s ; S o u t h e r n newspapers had a one- to two-week r e s p o n s e time, “when
things were good.” The North had 12,000
miles of telegraph lines; the South had about 500.
Seventy percent of South-ern newspapers shut down during a two-year period.
“The Confederacy was bleeding to death, including in ink and print.”
In a crisis, Flagel says, hu-mans desire information. It’s part of our fi ght or fl ight in-stinct. It is still true in the 21st century. On Sept. 11, 2001, for example, Internet usage in-creased 1,000 percent.
It was true, too, in the Civil War, Flagel says, especially in communities caught in the midst of mayhem. Don’t for-get that both Shiloh and Get-tysburg, for example, were basically hamlets.
The mention of Gettysburg gelled into another point.
“We have hindsight,” Flagel said. “Even Lee did not know he was headed to Gettysburg.”
The largest battle ever fought in the Northern Hemi-sphere happened where it did because two armies bumped into one another. Most of the newspapers thought Lee was headed to Harrisburg, Pa.
Chaos, confusion and ru-mor were rampant. Few re-porters got to Gettysburg in a timely manner. (Yep, most were in Harrisburg.) The Baltimore American, for ex-ample, reported on July 3, 1863, “no engagement (had
The fi rst casualty
of war
happened) at Gettysburg up to four this evening.”
They hadn’t yet heard about Pickett’s Charge.
One newspaper reported that Gen. George B. McClel-lan was killed at Gettysburg. He wasn’t even there.
In spite of what the news-papers said, even Abraham Lincoln considered the fall of Vicksburg, Miss., which also happened the fi rst week of July 1863, as the pivotal battle of the war. In fact, he called Gettysburg a defeat. But when Lincoln heard the news from Vicksburg, he said, “It is great. It is great. I see the end of the war!”
Many believed at fi rst that Gettysburg was a prequel to something worse, merely the fi rst shot in a coming slaugh-ter. Trenches were dug in Philadelphia, just in case.
“Don’t listen to the histo-ry,” Flagel said. “Look at the evidence.”
Reporters had to work. They didn’t know how long a battle would last. When the smoked cleared they then had to fi nd a telegraph of-fi ce. Many generals – like to-day – didn’t even want them around. William T. Sherman said reporters were worse than spies. Spies gathered in-formation for their country. Reporters did so for money.

And forget the inverted pyramid style of newspaper writing. Because each and every letter had to be set into type one at a time, the fresh-est news could often be found in the middle or at the end of a story, sometimes on Page 2 or Page 3.
Names, even of the gener-als, were misspelled; those wounded but living were re-ported dead (including Ar-
thur MacArthur, Gen. Doug-las MacArthur’s father).
“Accuracy,” Flagel said, “is the fi rst casualty of war.”

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin
More were killed in boat disaster than in
the TitanicAlthough its history has been
largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Ken-tucky, Michigan and Ohio. Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Ander-sonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition. With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard.
The 400 troopers of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry (USA) were by far the largest unit of military passengers. Many of them from Blount, Knox, McMinn and Mon-roe counties had been captured by Gen. Nathan B. Forrest at Athens and Sulphur Branch Trestle, Ala. on Sept. 24-25, 1864. When ex-changed for Confederate prison-ers held by the North at the end of the war, they had been sent to Camp Fisk near Vicksburg, Miss., to be processed before they were transported to Camp Chase, Ohio, for discharge from the army.
Their eagerness to do whatever it took to get home and the disor-ganization and corruption of the offi cers in charge of their trans-portation allowed far too many to board the boat, which had a rated capacity of only 376. The river boat company was collecting $5 per en-listed soldier and $10 per offi cer and, although he knew the ship was vastly overloaded, the captain fi nally approved his human cargo
and began the trip upriver toward Memphis at 9 p.m. April 24.
It was signifi cant that one of the boat’s four large boilers was found to be leaking prior to reaching Vicksburg and, rather than taking the three days required to replace the boiler, a patch was placed over the bulge in less than a day.
In addition to the perilous overloading of the boat, the Mis-sissippi River was at fl ood stage as the heavy snows of a severe winter in the northern states had thawed and added that volume to that of the usual spring rains. The Sul-tana’s two engines labored under the strain.
Proceeding upriver, the boat reached Memphis at 7 p.m. April 26. After unloading some cargo and after taking on coal on the Arkansas side of the river, the Sul-tana had reached a series of small islands called Paddy’s Hens and Chickens seven miles above Mem-phis where the swollen river was nearly four miles wide.
It was 2 a.m. on the black, cloudy night of April 27. As most of the passengers slept on the crowded decks, one of the huge tubed boilers exploded with a vol-canic fury that a witness on the shore described as the sound of a hundred earthquakes. Soon two more boilers exploded. Splintered debris and live coals fi lled the sky. Scalding water and clouds of steam showered the prisoners.
Hundreds were killed outright or blown into the water to drown. The upper decks soon collapsed and many unfortunate souls, trapped in the resulting wreckage, could only await certain death as fi re spread throughout the hull. Within 20 minutes the entire su-perstructure was burning.
The burning wreckage began to drift slowly downriver. Only 76 life preservers and two small lifeboats were on board, so most of those who survived had jumped into the river. Hundreds were strug-gling there in the water when the fi rst rescue boat, the Bostonia II, arrived at about 3 a.m. Other ves-sels eventually joined the rescue. By about 3:30 a.m. cries could be heard out across the river as some of the passengers fl oated down on bits of lumber. Cutters from the gunboats began sweeping the river for survivors.
When dawn came, the remains of the Sultana had drifted to the west bank of the Mississippi and sank off the tiny settlement of Mound City, Ark. All up and down the river citizens still worked to rescue those fl oating by in the wa-ter or those who had found refuge in tree tops that were nearly cov-

ered by the fl ooded river, or to re-trieve the bodies of the dead.
Since there was no accurate count of those who were boarded at Vicksburg, there is no accurate count of those who died. The most reliable sources place the death toll at more than 1,700, (compared to the 1,517 who died when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912).
A court of inquiry was soon ap-pointed to investigate the tragedy. Neither that group nor others who investigated the disaster later held anyone liable for the appalling over-crowding. The supervising inspec-tor of steamboats shed the most light on the cause of the tragedy. He concluded that the quick repair
to the boiler at Vicksburg was made with a metal plate too thin to stand the pressure of the steam.
For many years the local survi-vors of the Sultana Disaster met on April 27 to commemorate the loss of their comrades, often at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Maryville Pike. When Pleasant M. Keeble of Vestal passed away in 1931, the last known local survivor was laid to rest in the Eusebia Presbyterian Church Cem-etery in Blount County.
The 25th annual reunion will be held April 27-28 near Cincin-nati, Ohio. Those interested in attending the meeting should con-tact Norman Shaw at 693-2171 or email [email protected].
Until 1930, the survivors of the disas-ter gathered each April for a reunion. Shown here at the 1920 reunion are P.M. Keeble, Wallace Milesap, G.W. Hulett, Pryor Draper, D.A. Headrick, J.H. Simpson and A.P. Varnell. Photo courtesy of the C.M. McClung Historical Collection

I have seen him. I have not heard his story first-hand, but two people I trust completely have told me the saga. We believe the story is true.
His young daughter died of meningitis. A few years later his wife died of can-cer. He and his son lost a house to f loods and moved to another state, where their house was ripped apart by a tornado.
I don’t know his name, but I call him Job.
I can’t imagine how he gets up in the morning. I can’t fathom how he re-members to breathe in and out. I am grateful, for his sake, that his son lives here, but I also can’t imag-ine the sense of dread, the wondering “What’s next?” that must pervade every day of their lives.
What does such tragedy mean? That God is out to get him? That God is indif-ferent to human suffering? That God is testing him? That God has favorites,
It was the
worst of timesThough the fig tree does not blossom, and no
fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.
(Habakkuk 3: 17-18 NRSV)
LynnHutton
CROSS CURRENTS
or contrariwise, God has scapegoats?
That God is powerless?I say a resounding “No” to
all of those. At least, intellec-tually that is what I believe. When I can think rationally about it, I believe that God set some rules in place in the natural world: cells divide (a good thing), but sometimes they get overzealous in their multiplication and cancer occurs. Winds blow, spread-ing seeds around, moving weather systems from one place to another and bring-ing needed rain. Except that sometimes there is more rain and wind than our hu-man-made houses can with-stand.
It behooves us all to remember the truth of a line from Robert Bolt’s “A Man for All Seasons,” (my all-time favorite play and movie). Sir Thomas More, imprisoned by King Henry VIII for his firm refusal to take the Oath of Al-legiance (concerning the King’s marriage to Anne Boleyn), and tried for trea-son, remarks with wisdom and foreboding and resig-nation at his trial, “Death comes for us all; even for kings he comes.”
Death is inevitable. It is also remarkably indif-ferent to our hopes, and dreams and aspirations. It cares not that we have been hurt before, or that we will be lonely without our parent, or spouse or child.
So can we, like Habak-kuk, look steadfastly at all the suffering and calamity around us, realize that we have nothing – nothing! – and still be able to say, “…yet I will rejoice in the Lord …exult in the God of my salvation.”
I trust so. Because as long as we have God (or, more accurately, as long as God has us) we do not have “nothing,” and we can in-deed rejoice in the Lord.
I will pray for “Job.” I in-vite you to do the same, for him, and for all who suffer misfortune and sickness and loneliness and despair. Pray for healing, pray for hope, pray for wholeness. And give thanks to God for all your blessings!

Panthers still swinging, kickingThe weather may be incon-
sistent, but the Powell base-ball team isn’t. The Panthers continue to annihilate any district opponents in their way.
Powell remains atop the district standings and cur-rently posts a perfect 11-0 re-cord in the district, the team’s most recent victims being the Campbell County Cougars.
Powell won both of a two-game series with the Cougars, defeating them 18-0 on April 9 and 10-0 on April 11. Both games were ended after the fi fth inning by the TSSAA run-rule.
Powell excels in virtu-ally every area of play, with a team batting average of .357. The Panthers have scored 147 runs in just 16 games.
Assistant coach Jay Scar-bro says, “We’re hitting re-
ally well. … In spite of the new bats, we have managed to have 15 home runs as a team. That’s pretty good.”
Scarbro praises the team’s pitching as well.
“Our team ERA is 1.41. That’s unbelievable,” he said. As a team, the Panthers have struck out 118 players and walked only 24, which Scar-bro notes is “about as good as it gets.”
At week’s end, the Pan-thers stood at 13-3, with some of the biggest games of the season ahead.
Powell plays Halls at home
today (April 16) and away on April 18. The Red Devils are currently third in the dis-trict. The Panthers play at Oak Ridge on April 20 with a two-game series against Hardin Valley on April 23 and 25. Hardin Valley is currently second in the district; Oak Ridge is fourth.
“Those will be key games for us to decide who is the dis-trict champion,” said Scarbro. “We’ve played great defense and had key hits. … If that continues in the next two weeks, we ought to be in good shape.”
Soccer: The Powell boys’ soccer team rolls along, as the district tournament nears.
The Panthers played to a 1-1 tie with Halls on April 5. The draw put the Panthers’ record at 2-2-1.
“It was unfortunate,” said
Ellias Palcu. The Panthers led 1-0 at halftime. The Devils scored at the beginning of the second half after a 30 minute rain delay. Shortly thereafter the game was called.
“Even though they tied us, the proof is in the pudding how we played,” said Palcu. “We’re looking forward to meeting them in districts (should it occur).”
Palcu saw reason for opti-mism. “We have a wider fi eld. … We are able to play that to our advantage with our wings,” he said.
The Panthers had missed chances. “We had more op-portunities,” said Palcu. “We just have to capitalize on plays that we are given.”
Palcu believes his team can be successful in the rest of the season if they get back to full strength.
“We’re going to be playing a lot (in April). We’re going to be pretty game fi t. It’s all look-ing pretty positive right now.”

You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. That’s why contributing to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2011 IRA contribution before the April 17 deadline.
By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, it’s easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face guidance you deserve.
Retirement May Be Far Off,But the April 17 Deadline forIRA Contributions Isn’t.
To learn more about the advantages of an Edward Jones IRA, call or visit today.
By Sandra ClarkBob Crye is proving to
be more than a commis-sioner who seconds mo-tions and votes yes. Crye joined Hallsdale Powell Utility District commis-sioners Jim Hill and Kev-in Julian as Mayor Tim Burchett’s only appoint-ment to HPUD’s governing board.
Last week, he quizzed president Darren Cardwell and chief finan-
cial officer James Smith about plans to refund, or re-issue, HPUD’s Series 2002-A and Series 204-B bonds – about $45 mil-lion in debt. Smith showed commissioners a 3-inch stack of papers which he has submitted to the state Comptroller. He estimated savings “of around $4.9 million” depending on rates at the time of the re-funding.
Smith said the Comp-
Bond re-fi could

A sports injury can derail a young person’s plans, but it takes a spe-cial perspective to see an injury as an opportunity. Dr. Phil Nielson, who owns Nielson Chiropractic in Halls, took two sports injuries as opportunities for success.
Opening doors

ropractic. Photo by S. Carey
Nielson has always been an athlete. In high school, he played football, base-ball and basketball, and did track and field in the off season. After a knee injury his senior year, he saw his football scholar-ships disappear.
Instead of giving up, Nielson concentrated on track and field as part of his rehabilitation. He won the South Carolina state tournament in shot put and discus and turned that success into a track scholarship at Baptist Col-lege in Charleston.
But, Baptist College didn’t offer his real love: the javelin throw. He transferred to UT, which had the best javelin pro-gram in the country. After graduation, while working in the St. Mary’s physical therapy unit, Nielson was still excelling at the jav-elin. He was ranked third in the U.S. and sixth in the world, he’d been named Knoxville Track Club’s Athlete of the Year, and he was training for the 1984 Olympics.
Then, at a track meet, Nielson slipped on a wet, grassy surface and injured
his groin. The orthope-dic surgeons he saw said he’d never throw again, never play sports again. He might even walk with a limp, they said.
“That opened a new door,” said Nielson.
A friend who was a chi-ropractor asked Nielson to come to his office. The treatment he received healed Nielson’s injury. He wouldn’t go to the Olympics, but he could play basketball and ski again. Nielson enrolled in chiropractic school and completed the four-year program in three years, taking 36 hours each quarter.
“Without track, going to school was easy,” said Nielson. “There was no sweating involved.”
Nielson opened a prac-tice in Halls, where he’s practiced for more than 20 years.
Nielson said he’s not getting rich off his prac-tice. He doesn’t rack up treatments just to pay the
bills. If he recommends a treatment, it’s because he really believes a patient needs it. He doesn’t load up his day with appoint-ments, either. He prefers to spend quality time with his patients, educat-ing them and making sure they understand the exer-cises he assigns.
“I want to treat patients like I would treat my own mother,” he said.Shannon Carey is the Shopper-News gen-
eral manager and sales manager. Contact

troller had 15 days to issue an opinion letter. Com-missioners recessed the meeting until 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, to take final action on the plan.
The district’s chief counsel, Bud Gilbert, said he had not seen Smith’s proposal, and Hill in-structed staff to run ev-erything past Gilbert. “I sleep better at night” knowing Bud is our advi-sor, Hill said.
HPUD set 14 water meters and inspected 17 sewer hookups in March, Cardwell said. The dis-trict treated 216.7 mil-lion gallons of water and 325.2 million gallons of
wastewater. Cardwell said the discrepancy is the re-sult of surface water get-ting into the system. Crye asked for a report in May detailing the cost of treat-ing the extra wastewater. (Wastewater is not me-tered, but sewer custom-ers are charged based on water usage.)
Commissioners voted to surplus and sell equip-ment including two high lifts (1984 and 1985 mod-els), a utility truck and a ditch witch. Cardwell will sell online through gov-deals.com/.
Commissioners OK’d payments of $116,754 and $110,304 to contractors on ongoing projects.
