Here’s how it works. Scam artists will call a home or business posing as a co-op or utility employee and as such threaten to shut off service unless the consumer provides immediate payment using a reloadable debit card, prepaid gift card, or online payment service like PayPal.

Charged by Monroe County Sheriff’s Detective Jennifer Bledsoe with aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated rape, aggravated assault, and unlawful possession of a weapon was Andrew Paul Craig, 37, of Sweetwater-Vonore Road. According to Bledsoe, Craig is a convicted felon who entered a home and threatened the occupants of the residence. Then, by threats of using the weapon and physical assault, Craig forced a female to leave with him. Craig (See Craig pg 11) Library Groundbreaking Postponed The scheduled groundbreaking for the new Madisonville Library was postponed on Tuesday due to the death of Mayor Glenn Moser’s wife Betty. The groundbreaking ceremony was planned for 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, at the entrance to the city’s Houston Park.

Call The Buzz 423-442-1635 NATIONWIDE Two Kansas City firefighters died and two others were injured in the collapse of a burning building in which fire crews saved two persons from the spreading flames. An emotional Fire Chief Paul Bernardi identified the killed firefighters as 17year veteran Larry Leggio and 13-year veteran John Mesh. The latest Fox News poll was released on Tuesday, just hours ahead of the first Democratic presidential debate, and the survey found little had changed: Hillary Clinton remained the frontrunner among Democratic voters with 45 percent, followed by Bernie Sanders with 25 percent and Joe Biden at 19 percent. However, in hypothetical matchups with top-tiers Republicans, Clinton trailed Dr. Ben Carson by 11 points, Donald Trump by five points, and Jeb Bush by four. (But Biden…he fared much better in the poll, leading Trump by 13 points, Bush by five, and Carson and Carly Fiorina by four points.) The federal Bureau of Prisons announced on Master Key Storage of Tennessee, LLC 423-351-9797 Move-In Outdoor Special! $10 off First Month w/Two Months Rental 1250 Highway 68, Sweetwater Tuesday that inmates no longer would be served ham or bacon, a move that came after the Obama administration removed swine products from federal prison menus, causing outrage by the pig and hog industry. The bureau, which is reover for sponsible 200,000 inmates, said the removal was in response to surveys of prisoners’ food preferences and pork just wasn’t all that popular. Playboy magazine officials said on Tuesday the iconic men’s publication was going out of the nude business starting in March, changing its direction to come more in line with its website and feature a “safe-for-work” forfeaturing mat, provocative, but not naked, photos of women. With rampant nudity all over the internet, the company’s top officials said Playboy would remain committed to its award-winning mix of long-form journalism, interviews, and fiction. In college football on unidentified Minday, sources in South Carolina said Gamecock coach Steve Spurrier was indeed planning to retire as reported over the weekend in Sports Illustrated and Gamecocks Central. Out West, the University of Southern California fired Steve Sarkisian on Monday, one day after the troubled football coach Page 3 - The BUZZ was put on leave after showing up in no condition to lead practice. And according to Washington-based nutritionist Rebecca Scritchfield on Tuesday, there are several lesser-known “superfoods” that could boost your immune system and help fight off diseases this winter. Her list included green peas (loaded with Vitamins A and C), cauliflower (packed with antioxidants and glutathione, major power players), blueberries (contain pterostilbene, a sickness fighter), broccoli (see cauliflower), and egg yolks (bursting with minerals, especially zinc and selenium, which are important to the immune system). Raper (Continued from pg 1) Martin said Walmart personnel contacted him and pointed out a truck leaving the business property. Martin conducted a traffic stop and Raper admitted to shoplifting several items from the store, including a female shirt, flashlights, makeup, a small speaker, and a razor. A further search of Raper’s truck turned two hypodermic needles, a vial of clear liquid, a spoon with residue, and a Q-tip. Martin said Raper had been from the Cleveland Walmart earlier.

Its citizens are everyone, anyone who might require a helping hand or an encouraging word. We need only have the eyes and heart to discover them for ourselves. Two local programs may not boast of it, but they were indeed crafted with just such an undertaking in mind. More than simply thinking of it, the crew behind these programs have sought out those in need and sought to serve them, the elderly and disabled of Monroe County—their chosen Calcutta. And just who are they, these local missionaries with a most noble purpose? They are none other than United Way’s budding Project R.E.D. and Meals on Wheels of the Cora Veal Senior Center. Meet them now! Project R.E.D. “Project R.E.D is a program that creates a better living for some of the elderly and/or disabled people in Monroe County,” said Caylen Gibson. Gibson, the Executive Director of United Way of Monroe County, is the creative mastermind behind the crimson-named project. Its sole focus is on benefiting the elderly and disabled of the local community. Project R.E.D. gives back to the community by serving as the coordinating force, a veritable command center as it were, for various renovation and repair projects. More specifically, it dives headlong into emergency situations plaguing the beloved homes of the disabled and elderly who live alone without a family member to help them. It has overseen roofing and plumbing projects, directed volunteers in crafting handrails for stairwells, and garnered support (discounts and donations included) and partnerships from local businesses and organizations. “We have had some great successes,” said Gibson. “It’s been wonderful.” Project R.E.D. is a relatively new program, its beginnings dating back only to the summer of 2014. But its legacy is already promising to be a legendary one, given the many, many lives it has already touched. And the first came in that aforementioned year. Gibson related how, one day, an older lady called the United Way office. She had found herself in a bit of a quagmire. She needed handrails along the stairs at her home. This woman had no family to aid her, and she feared falling once winter set its icy foot in the county. Would it be possible, she asked, for United Way to help her? Gibson and United Way of Monroe County did not hesitate. The organization said: “We’ll see what we can do.” Working alongside the Monroe County Buzz, United Way of Monroe County spread the word about the project. With this news bulletin came a call for volunteers willing to give of their time and energy to help someone in need. The ensuing response was nothing short of amazing. “We were bombarded with offers to help,” said Gibson. Ultimately, United Way decided to partner with a local church. The project was soon completed, and the lady received the all important handrails. But the story did not end there. Oh no. In fact, it was only the beginning… Gibson dwelled on the handrail project long after it had reached its wonderful conclusion. “That had been pretty easy,” she reflected, and it had done a good service for a community member. This thought then led to yet another. United Way of Monroe County organizes a program called Santa’s Helper each year, in which it helps parents provide Christmas gifts for their children. If the United Way organization could support local families during the maddening rush of the holidays, well… “Why can’t we do the same thing for the elderly and disabled?” wondered. Gibson. And thus Project R.E.D. was born. Since its inception in June of 2014, the program has grown by leaps and bounds. It has transformed from a single renovation project to an ever-expanding network of volunteers, local allies, and a steady stream of applicants—with the United Way of Monroe County at the very heart.

The mission is to make a battered building a home once more. And there are several of those to be found in Monroe County, the Calcutta for Project R.E.D. and United Way. “I did not realize what need is out there,” said Gibson, speaking of the floodgates which opened in the weeks following Project R.E.D.’s beginning. “It’s intense. It’s heartbreaking, too. […] There are some heartwrenching stories.” But stories with happy endings, thanks to Project R.E.D. and the enterprising people behind it. Take the tale of the handrail, for instance. No more fear of falling there! Another success for Project R.E.D. came from an applicant who had busted pipes from the previous winter. The lady involved in this mess had once been in contact with a potential repairman. He gave her a list of the materials she needed to buy and took the money for his time and labor, but never returned to repair her plumbing. The poor lady was left with a bunch of spare parts—not all of which were correct for the situation at hand, as it turned out—and no money or water whatsoever. She was forced to use a water hose, wrestling it DINNER SPECIALS After 4 p.m. MONDAY $5 Pizza!

Project R.E.D. was informed of the trying circumstances and leapt into action. Thanks to United Way’s leadership and coordination, normal life has since resumed for the woman. Water is now flowing freely throughout her household. Then there is the ongoing chronicle about a certain veteran in the community. He has been living in a trailer, one which has definitely seen far better days. But thanks to a generous donation, Project R.E.D. volunteers are currently helping the veteran make the move into a newer trailer. Project R.E.D. also leaped into action when it came to a roofing project. The covering in question had several holes. In point of fact, the roof may have been more holey—and not the spiritual kind— than whole. Project R.E.D. stepped in and worked alongside the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and Ten- nessee Metal Products. Together, with the use of trustees, they were able to give the home a new metal roof, a face lift if ever there was one. These are just a few of the renovations the United Way program has overseen. In its first year alone, Project R.E.D. completed ten projects. And thus far in 2015, it has finished a second batch of ten projects. With an eleventh one, Gibson revealed, soon to reach its happy conclusion. Project R.E.D. is a free program to those who apply, though Gibson also noted the program deals mainly deals with emergency situations. Applicants must also have a certain income and own— not rent—their home. This home must also be located in Monroe County. Project R.E.D. takes into account how many people live within the home, too. Applications can be found on the United Way website (www.myunitedwaymonroecounty.org) or at the Douglas Cherokee Neigh- FREE HEARING SCREENINGS AFFORDABLE HEARING AIDS AND PAYMENT PLANS WE CAN REPAIR ANY AGE, MAKE, OR MODEL HEARING AID (and handy-women, too) for the projects it has taken on. It points the way to the site of need. The workers then take it from there. If a person volunteers to assist, stated Gibson, he or she will usually be hands-on during the project. This is why it is very important for volunteers to have knowledge about the project—be it roofing, plumbing, or carpentry in nature—at hand. And herein lays the challenge for Project R.E.D.: finding helpers and assistants for the many repairs and renovations it hopes to complete. Applications keep coming and coming, spreading thin the already small available work force. “It’s never ending,” said Gibson. “We need the labor. We need the volunteers, people who know what they are doing.” At this point, Project R.E.D. simply does not have enough manpower to effectively handle all the requests and emergencies. But until that day arrives, Project R.E.D. continues to aid all those it can. Young though it may be, in the greater scheme of things it hopes to be a life changer for those in need. “I hope [Project R.E.D.] is not a band aid,” said Gibson. “I hope it’s a support system [for the community].” And that is its true mis- sion, its true dream. Many people go to other countries on mission trips, said Gibson. This is good! But mission work can also be found in Monroe County, she continued, echoing the thoughts behind Mother Teresa’s message to the woman. There are just as many lives to touch right here, at home, as there are across the seas. “People need to open their eyes to such things,” said Gibson. United Way’s Project R.E.D. certainly has. Meals on Wheels The Cora Veal Senior Center in Madisonville, Tennessee is headquarters to a great many programs and events. In the past, it has sponsored field trips to distant lands, hosted art shows and health fairs and fundraisers for the community, and spearheaded health regimens, art classes and choir practices, raffles and Bible studies. It has even been known to dabble in cruises, heated bridge games, and feasts boasting BBQ masterpieces. And those are just a small taste of the plethora of activities the center has played a part in throughout its years of service! The list of its various services goes on and on and on, each program and every event, one and all, (See Calcutta pg 6) For All of Your Medicare Needs RMI BENEFITS SPECIALISTS Your Local Independent Broker Since 2006 Sidney Hicks, H.I.S Board Certified by National Board for Certification in Hearing Instrument Science Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Same Day Appointments Available s On Like U ook! b e c a F borhood Service Center. Once the application is filled out, Gibson studies the circumstances to see whether or not Project R.E.D. can help. The majority of the time, Brad Bivens, the Director of the Maintenance Department for the Monroe County Government, will go out to the property in question and do an estimate on the would-be project. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department also allows United Way to do a background check on the applicants. And should the application be chosen… United Way provides funding for the materials required by the project. The program allocates a certain amount of money to each person. Any funds left over from a completed renovation are placed in a special pool, to be dipped into for aid whenever the situation demands it. Project R.E.D. also forms partnerships with local businesses and organizations, and these same groups often give discounts on materials and valuable donations to the program. Spectrum Electric, God’s Mountain, Chestua Baptist Church, and Tennessee Metal Products are among the many who have aided Project R.E.D. in its cause. Project R.E.D. is responsible for coordinating the labor, too.

A noble undertaking best exemplified by a program headquartered there, a far reaching and quite intrepid group known simply as Meals on Wheels. But just what is Meals on Wheels, you might ask? Think of a food truck, dear reader, and then add a bit more flavor to the recipe. For if Meals on Wheels is a food truck, it is a food truck of an entirely different breed. It not only lives and breathes and cooks delicious food, it is also never at a standstill. In fact, rather than demand the customer come to it, the Meals on Wheels program gladly rolls on up to the customer! No matter where he or she might live! Each and every day of the week! “Meals on Wheels is a multi-agency funded program which delivers home delivered meals throughout the week,” said Revonda Raper, the Director of the Meals on Wheels program. “[It] promotes seniors, ages 60 and over, to staying active and healthy by getting out of the house and taking part in eating nutritious food and fellowship with others.” For the elderly of Monroe County are the Calcutta for the hearts and mind behind Meals on Wheels. They fully intend to be there for them as well, through thick and thin, from early breakfast to joyous laughter around a kitchen table. This heartfelt mission sends Meals on Wheels sailing across the highways and byways of Monroe County. Across rolling fields and plains, down little used pathways and busy intersections, up mountains and within hidden valleys, over many rivers and through nameless woods, its volunteers seek out the homes of grandmothers and grandfathers alike. They bring with them breakfast, lunch, and supper, each meal—veritable feasts!— piping hot, delicious, and always, always lovingly cooked. Meals on Wheels both serves food and shares of their time and heart with the many people they visit. And they have been doing so for forty years. Meals on Wheels is no stranger to homespun ministry work, you see. According to Raper, the program began delivering home cooked meals way back in 1975. The group served low-income elderly people, providing them with a well balanced meal—a meal which also happened to meet 1/3 of the USDA requirements. And in 1976, the group opened yet another window to the public. It set up shop at the Cora Veal Senior Center and crafted yet another piece of the marvelous whole: congregate meals, welcome to one and all who stepped through the Center’s doors. “They [the originators of the program] designed the program to get seniors out to eat in a congregate setting,” said Raper, speaking of the program’s early days, the seeds of its creation. “And the more that came out to eat, the more HD (home delivered) meals we could deliver. It was to get seniors eating healthy and getting them out of their home to prevent isolation.” Thus Meals on Wheels was born. The rest, as they say, is history. The Meals on Wheels program office and kitchen is now permanently based at the Cora Veal Senior Center at 144 College Street South in Madisonville, Tennessee. And it has only grown since 1975. The fleet has logged many miles on its tires during that forty year span, and even now the program as a whole continues to deliver both meals and smiles to a whole new generation of needy people. All sixty-five of them… Yes. You read correctly. The Meals on Wheels program currently serves sixty-five members of Monroe County’s elderly population. Many of these men and women, said Raper, have absolutely no one, family or friends or even caregivers, to cook for them. Nor can they cook for themselves. The realm of the kitchen is unfortunately locked to them. So Meals on Wheels drives on in and, setting a metaphorical toque on its head, does the cooking themselves. But these meals are not hastily thrown together, last minute afterthoughts or close relatives of greasy fast food. Not even close. Not only are the Meals on Wheel’s wide range of servings warm and filling and tasty, they are incredibly healthy, too. “All meals are carefully planned by a registered dietician to equal 1/3 of the daily nutrition requirements for senior adults,” said Raper. “There is also nutritional education information that is provided on a monthly basis to all congregate meal participants as well.” So not only does it specialize in food for the tummy, Meals on Wheels serves up food for thought, too! And not just for the aforementioned sixty-five program participants, either. Meals on Wheels is not only headquartered at the Cora Veal Senior Center, it continues to serve there as well. It fires up the home fires day by day, serving an average of forty-five congregate meals to hungry visitors. Oh. And it does still more. There is yet one more item on the program’s ever expanding menu which deserves mentioning. It is a magnificent service it offers to all participants, free of charge, unasked for but still given, bearing with it the same heartfelt generosity which has been the backbone of Meals on Wheels since its inception in days long past. The program combats hunger and cooking woes, yes, but it also wages a daily battle against the emotional monsters known as loneliness, solitude, and isolation. “The Meals on Wheels program is very important to the health and nutrition of many of the elderly,” ex- plained Raper. “But the daily visits help alleviate the isolation under which many older Americans struggle. “This is perhaps the most important benefit of the program,” she continued to say. “Many older Americans find themselves without family to care for them in their time of need, and programs like Meals on Wheels help provide warmth and companionship.” Little wonder, then, why Meals on Wheels is such an important aspect in the lives of many elderly people in Monroe County. Whether the meals are served at the Cora Veal Senior Center itself or within the home of a participant, the program is built on and operates with a deep sense of fellowship. Sharing this camaraderie with others is as important to the crew members of Meals on Wheels as supplying/delivering the food itself. They wish to make a difference in the lives of those they serve. A wish they have made—many times over—a reality. Take the story of one certain man, for instance. Raper relates how he has shown such a profound and noticeable change since he began partaking in the congregate meals at the Cora Veal Senior Center. “He was so reluctant to start when his family called about us picking him up,” she remembered. “But he started coming, Page 7 - The BUZZ October 14, 2015 and to begin with, he was shy and kept to himself. But now he’s been coming about a year, and he has blossomed into a different person. He starts conversations and has a twinkle in his eye that just makes you smile when you see him.” Such a story tells far more than any statistic could and ever will, and it is in these stories—in the people at their core—the Meals on Wheels program looks to for true success. But aiding the citizens of the program’s chosen Calcutta comes with its own set of challenges and obstacles. Meals on Wheels faces the monetary sort. The ingredients required when cooking the delicious, nutritious meals demands a great deal of funding, and the list of deserving, needy clients—at least 110 men and women, and perhaps a few more on the side— is an ever growing behemoth. Meals on Wheels serves them, one and all, no questions asked, even as it scrapes its pockets for the necessary funding to do so. “The funding we currently receive provides funds for only fifteen of these congregate participants,” revealed Raper. “Therefore, any extra funds received go directly toward providing meals to the additional thirty plus seniors who come to eat at the Cora Veal Senior Center daily.” And serve these seniors the tight-knit group of Meals on Wheels cooks, deliverers, and planners continue to do, despite the many obstacles and challenges they might face. They will continue to do so long into the future, as well, and even into the untold days beyond even that unknown date. For this land and its citizens, their beloved Monroe County, is their mission, their purpose, their drive. Their Calcutta. “I hope that families know that we not only deliver their loved ones a hot meal,” said Raper, “but we are also there to make sure on a daily basis that they DAN IS BACK! have had contact with someone who cares for them.” Finding… Found “Stay where you are,” said Mother Teresa, speaking to the would-be missionaries of past and present. “Find your own Calcutta.” To which she adds: “Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely right there where you are—in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your own schools. You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.” Project R.E.D. and Meals on Wheels definitely have those eyes. They have sought out need and found Calcutta, right here in Monroe County. More than simply search for it, they have responded. They have answered the call to arms to serve and then some, be it mending some busted pipes or delivering a home-cooked meal. All homebound mission work, perhaps, but no less important or life altering than the sort which touches foreign lands across the seas. You, too, can aid Project R.E.D. and Meals on Wheels—and the Calcutta in your own backyard, for that matter.

Legacy Club Honors Two Brave Men Tulli Cole The Legacy Club of Tellico Plains High School recognized and honored two Legends of the Game on October 9, 2015, during halftime of the Bears game against rival Sweetwater. Daniel Harms and Mike Stratton braved the weather to take midfield, and were greeted with a round of appreciative applause and cheers. Daniel Harms claimed the ranking of All State Cornerback as a Bear. He was also a member of the All Region and All State Teams during in Junior and Senior years, and led the Bears to an 11-2 record and a #3 ranking. Harms and his Bears reached the Quarterfinals of the TSSAA State Tournament, and he was named MVP in both games in which he played. The team was known for scoring an average of 36 points per game that season, outscoring its opponents 465-171. Harms is Tellico Plains High School’s all-time leading rusher. He boasts 90 touchdowns and over 4,000 rushing yards to his name. Mike Stratton proudly wore maroon and white to few Sequoyah Conference Championships. He then traded this uniform for the Orange and White of the University of Tennessee. Stratton was Second Team All SEC, and was drafted in the 1962 AFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. As a Bill, Stratton was a standout. He earned a spot on the All Rookie Team, and proceeded to play in six AFL All Star Games as a linebacker. He helped lead the Bills to three division championships and 2 league championships. Stratton’s last year of professional football was as a Charger. He played in 156 games as a pro athlete, and notched 21 interceptions on his belt. Stratton is also known for the “Hit Heard Round the World,” a blistering blow he landed on a Charger in 1964. The hit was once ranked by ESPN as the #1 Hit of All Time. Stratton is now a member of the Buffalo Bill’s Ring of Honor, as well as an inaugural member of the Tellico Plains High School Hall of Fame. He is the only Bear to have ever played in the NFL.

The Bears of Tellico Plains hosted the Sweetwater Wildcats on October 9, 2015, each team storming the gridiron despite the less-thanstellar weather conditions. Both squads had a mission. The hometown Bears sought to defend their turf, even as the Wildcats planned to claim an Away W to their names. Only one of these teams would see its goal through that evening, however. The first quarter was a study in defense. Both the Bears and the Wildcats threatened on offense, only for rival guardians to rise up and end dangerous drives. The Wildcats won the coin toss and chose to receive. They proceeded to charge their way down the field, too. Ethan Holley and Ashaunde Thaxton rushed for several yards, and Thaxton teamed up with Keegan Knox to bring the Wildcats deeper into Bear territory. A holding penalty then set the Wildcats back several paces, placing them in a first-and-thirty situation. But despite tackles by Tellico Plains’ Austin Cheek and Dakota Rinehart (both Bears tackling for a loss on one play), the Wildcats were able to overcome the challenge. A. Thaxton’s pass to K. Knox brought the Wildcats to a first-and-goal at the 8-yard line. And yet it was here where the drive ended. The Wildcats fumbled, and the Bears were swift to pounce on the opportunity. Tellico Plains recovered the fumble, placing the football in play at their 5-yard line. But the Bears would not make much headway. K. Knox defended on a broken pass, and tackles by Noah Kile, Bailey Byrum, and Broedy Duggan brought carries by D. Rinehart and A. Cheek up short. The Bears soon found themselves in a fourth-and-five situation, and they chose to punt. The Wildcats had firstand-ten at their 45-yard line. Logan Watkins kept them penned for a secondand-ten, and Colton Carter broke up a pass to Sweetwater’s Meechie Oggs. The Wildcats were now in a third-and-ten situation. They succeeded in moving the change, courtesy of a carry by A. Thaxton. His rush brought the Wildcats to Tellico Plains’ 40-yard line. But the Wildcats would get no further. D. Rinehart tackled for a loss, and then nearly made away with an interception. Not long afterward, Jonathan Brannon made a tackle to place the Wildcats in a fourthand-thirteen. The Wildcats chose to roll the dice. A. Thaxton’s pass to K. Knox was good, but Sweetwater came up just short. Possession went over to the Bears on downs. The Bears had firstand-ten at their 36-yard line. D. Rinehart and A. Cheek brought them to a third-and-six before play was called due to lightning, with 1:27 remaining in the quarter. Once the worst of the storm had passed, the Bears and Wildcats returned to the field. They now faced the rain as well as each other. The first play by the Bears resulted in a penalty (an illegal shift) against the Bears, setting them back into a third-and-eleven. The next play ended in an incomplete pass. The Bears now faced a fourth-andeleven. Tellico Plains chose to punt, with the Wildcats placing the football into play at their own 28-yard line. The quarter ended on a carry by N. Kile, stopped at second-and-eight on tackles by J. Brannon and Scott Williams. The second quarter opened with the Wildcats on the 42-yard line. And off carries by A. Thaxton, E. Holley, and N. Kile, coupled with passes from Thaxton to Ben Shope and N. Kile, the Wildcats fought their way to a firstand-goal inside the 7-yard line. They wasted little time in bringing it into the end zone. Tellico Plain’s S. Williams briefly stopped them for a second-and-six, but the very next play saw N. Kile dashing his way into the end zone for the rushing TD. Tyler Wheeler then nabbed a successful PAT, giving the Wildcats the 7-0 lead at the 7:39 marker. But the Bears were quick to return the favor, and in short order. Jordan McGowan made the return for the Bears, and he runend and gunned and slid his way down the field—all the way into the end zone. The 85-yard run thus resulted in a touchdown for the Bears. The two point conversion attempt—a pass from J. McGowan to D. Rinehart—was also good. And just like that, with 7:23 remaining in the quarter, the Bears led 7-8. The Wildcats sought to answer this TD with another one of their own. Brett Spurgeon took the kick-off and placed the football in play at the 35yard line. The Bears’ defense made sure they did not gain many yards. Tackles by Blake Hunt, Ryan Bookout, Joe Scharf, J. Brannon, and Dylan Taylor brought Sweetwater into a fourth-and-six. The Wildcats chose to punt. And their defense was quick to return the favor, once possession was in the Bears’ hands. Tackles by Caleb Starnes, Gavin Boruff, and B. Byrum (coupled with a penalty against the Bears) sent Tellico Plains into a thirdand-eleven. Cue K. Knox, who snagged an interception during the very next play, and proceeded to dash his way down the field. He brought the football all the way to the 1-yard line. Tackles by Tellico’s Koby Grubb and Jacob Long made it a secondand-goal. An overthrown snap by Sweetwater, recovered by N. Kile, soon placed the Wildcats in a Page 9 - The BUZZ October 14, 2015 third-and-fifteen at the 14yard line. C. Carter of Tellico then broke up a would-be pass to make it fourth-and-fifteen. The Wildcats chose to try for a field goal. T. Wheeler stepped onto the field and kicked true, netting the Wildcats 3 points. His field goal sent the lead crashing back to the Wildcats. The score now stood at 10-8, with 1:08 remaining in the half. B. Hunt made the kickoff return for the Bears. He was brought down by Malik Robinson, placing the football in play at the 45-yard line. The Bears nearly lost the football on the second play of the drive, off a near fumble the Wildcats pounced on before Tellico was called down. The quarter ended with a carry by D. Rinehart and a tackle for M. Oggs. The score at halftime was 10-8. The Bears received to being the second half. J. McGowan made the return. N. Kile stopped him at the Bears’ 37-yard line. Carries by D. Taylor moved the change for the Bears, bringing them to the 49-yard line. But then Broedy Duggan, M. Oggs, N. Kile, and Wade Garri- son tackled for a loss, sending the Bears into a third-and-fourteen. D. Rinehart rushed to try and break through, only to be run out of bounds by B. Shope. The Bears now faced a fourth-and-four. The Bears rolled the dice and went for the fourth down conversion. However, the Wildcats stopped it in its tracks. Possession went over to Sweetwater on downs. And they swiftly made their way into the endzone. Despite an early tackle by D. Rinehart to make it second-and-ten, A. Thaxton carried the football during the next three plays—all the way into the endzone. The final rush tallied gave Thaxton the 36-yard rushing TD. T. Wheeler kicked true the PAT, giving the Wildcats the 17-8 lead. There was 8:26 remaining in the quarter. The Wildcats’ defense also stood firm during the Bears’ ensuing possession. Tackles by M. Oggs, W. Garrison, and A. Thaxton kept the Bears from making any headway, paving the way to a third-and-ten. The Wildcats stopped the next play as well. With a Congratulations!

The finals were held at Memphis International Raceway on Sunday. fourth-and-ten hanging over them, the Bears had no choice but to punt. The Bears’ defense paid the favor in kind, however. D. Rinehart, R. Bookout, J. Scharf, and J. Long tackled to make it third-andnine for the Wildcats. A. Thaxton’s pass to Brett Spurgeon then fell incomplete, bringing the Wildcats to a fourth-and-nine. They chose to punt. It was a mirror image during the next two possessions as well, with both defenses forcing the other team to punt. W. Garrison, Jonathan Whited, and an incomplete pass brought up fourth-andeight for the Bears. Mere moments later, D. Taylor, L. Watkins, and R. Bookout (as well as a fumble) brought up fourth-andseven for the Wildcats. The quarter ended with the Bears in control of the football. D. Rinehart carried to make it secondand-two. The score at the end of the third quarter was 17-8, in favor of the visiting Wildcats. The Bears continued march down the field at the opening of the fourth quarter. A. Cheek carried for a few yards, and D. Rinehart connected with J. McGowan to make it third-and-three. DJ Vanderwerf of Sweetwater tackled A. Cheek to make it fourth-and-two at the 25-yard line, but the Bears chose to go for the fourth- down conversion. They were successful, thanks to a carry by D. Taylor. His rush brought the Bears all the way to the 15-yard line. But the Bears would get no further. They fumbled on the next play, and B. Duggan snatched up the loose football. Possession now belonged to the Wildcats. And they were quick to strike. On the second play of the drive, A. Thaxton’s pass to M. Oggs resulted in an 87-yard TD. The two point conversion was not successful, but with 9:20 remaining, the Wildcats had pushed their lead to 23-8. D. Taylor made the return for Tellico Plains. He was stopped by Sweetwater’s Kelvin Franco. D. Taylor and and Dr. Rinehart moved the change for the Bears. However, they did not move much further down the field. A penalty placed them in a second-and-fifteen, and tackles by B. Duggan and DJ Vanderwerf made it fourth-and-six. The Bears went for it on fourth down, but D. Rinehart’s pass to B. Hunt was broken up by B. Duggan. Possession went over to the Wildcats on downs. They did not win many yards. J. Long, S. Williams, J. Brannon, Bret Laney, C. Carter, and J. Scharf all recorded tackles, paving the way to a fourth-and- three for the Wildcats. Sweetwater chose to punt. D. Rinehart won a new set of yards on the first play of the Bears’ possession. He would then connect with both D. Taylor and B. Hunt to move the change once more. But then B. Shope broke up a pass, and the Wildcats’ defense made it fourth-andfour for the Bears. Tellico Plains went for it on fourth down. D. Rinehart’s pass to J. McGowan was good, but the Bears came up just short. Possession went over to the Wildcats on downs. Off-setting penalties made it second-and -five for the Wildcats. L. Watkins and D. Taylor’s tackles then made it fourth-and-two for the Wildcats. Sweetwater chose to punt. D. Rinehart connected with R. Bookout to snag a new set of downs. A penalty against Sweetwater moved the Bears down the field still further. But a penalty against Tellico Plains sent them back again, and a tackle by B. Duggan made it secondand-seven. By now, time was swiftly running out. The Bears continued to push forward. The game ended with a carry by D. Rinehart. The final score was 238. October 14, 2015 Page 10 - The BUZZ Monroe County 4-H Poultry Show Thirteen Monroe County 4-H members who raised their chickens for five months had a poultry show and sale on September 15 at the 4-H Pavilion at Kefauver Park in Madisonville. Members started with 12 baby chicks in April and brought three laying hens to the show. The Grand Champion group of hens went to Jeb Parker, and the Reserve Champion group was raised by Zeke Amburn, both being from Vonore. The auction was conducted by James Lee of Norman Lee Estate. The chickens were bought at an average of $29 per bird, with a total of $1,137 being raised, both to benefit the youth raising the chickens and also to support the Monroe County 4-H Poultry Program. The sponsors for the show were Monroe County Farm Bureau and Foothills Farmers Co-Op. Also, a special thanks goes to all the buyers to support this project: Joyce Merriman, Grover Croft, Steve Phillips, Lauren Leslie, Barry Self, Robert Holt, Bill Bryant, Walt Thomas, and Curtis Young.

Around The Globe The Dutch Safety Board said on Tuesday that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed with 298 persons on board in July 2014 because a Russian made Buk missile exploded outside the craft’s cockpit, an official statement that was issued after a 15-month investigation that concluded the Boeing 777 was shot down by a sophisticated surface-to-air missile. The United States, Ukraine, and Western allies insisted Russianbacked separatists or Russia itself targeted the plane, but Russia continued to say it was the Ukrainian military that downed it. Two Palestinian men boarded a bus in Jerusalem and began to stab and shoot passengers on Tuesday, while at the same time an assailant rammed a car into a bus station and got out and began to stab bystanders, near simultaneous attacks that escalated in a month of violence in Israel.
