New Book by Jack Darnell<br />

Yvette Autin Warren<br />

The Winds of November, the much-awaited second<br />

collection of short stories by Jack Darnell is now available;<br />

this one also includes his poetry.<br />

He has published with a variation on his name as author,<br />

H. Jack Darnell. This is in response to the friendship<br />

he's formed with another published author by the<br />

name of Jack Darnell. He simply wanted to keep confusion<br />

out of the process, and the H. is for Howard, his<br />

father, to whom the book is dedicated.<br />

The Winds of November is available through Jack,<br />

and through Amazon.com.<br />

A Day of Memory<br />

© 2011 H. Jack Darnell<br />

I took a sunny summer day,<br />

And pressed it to my heart to stay,<br />

'Til memory's strings should sound<br />

And hidden thoughts are found.<br />

Some winter day that's dark and cold,<br />

And all the world is looking old,<br />

Then those memories hidden away<br />

Will brighten up the darkest day.<br />

I close my eyes and I can see<br />

Daisies blooming just for me.<br />

I hear the sound of buzzing bees,<br />

Gathering nectar, flying free.<br />

There's something in the air I smell,<br />

So faintly I can hardly tell.<br />

Is it the smell of a summer's day,<br />

The day I saved and lay away?<br />

Syrian government<br />

and tear gas on thousands<br />

of persons marching in a<br />

funeral procession that<br />

turned into a protest<br />

against Damascus on Saturday,<br />

killing one individual<br />

and wounding several<br />

others in what a reporter<br />

called “one of the largest<br />

demonstrations in the<br />

capital” since the uprising<br />

against President Bashar<br />

al-Assad began 11 months<br />

ago. The protest, which<br />

involved 15,000 to 30,000<br />

Syrians, took place less<br />

than a mile from al-Assad’s<br />

palace.<br />

Pope Benedict XVI inducted<br />

cardinals on Saturday, including<br />

New York’s Archbishop<br />

Timothy Dolan,<br />

who has been named repeatedly<br />

in the past as a<br />

possible successor to the<br />

pontiff. Benedict, 85, elevated<br />

Around The Globe<br />

Two Iranian warships<br />

moved through the Suez<br />

Canal and into the<br />

Mediterranean Sea on Saturday,<br />

the second-only<br />

time the country’s navy<br />

had made the passage<br />

since the 1979 Islamic<br />

Revolution. The action<br />

followed last year’s February<br />

22 action through the<br />

canal and brought immediate<br />

response from Israel,<br />

which put its own navy on<br />

alert in response.<br />

Meanwhile, on Saturday,<br />

Britain’s foreign minister<br />

said an attack on Iran<br />

would carry huge costs<br />

and he preferred to allow<br />

more time to permit<br />

diplomacy and economic<br />

pressure to run its course<br />

with regard to the country’s<br />

controversial nuclear<br />

program. Tensions have<br />

running high, said William<br />

Hague, as Israel has accused<br />

Iran of attacking its<br />

diplomats in Thailand and<br />

Georgia.<br />

Meanwhile, back home<br />

in Tehran, government officials<br />

said an estimated<br />

16,000 computers in the<br />

country fell victim in 2010<br />

Tellico Pride 253-3303<br />

to the Stuxnet virus after<br />

it targeted the Islamic Republic’s<br />

nuclear facilities<br />

and other industrial sites,<br />

striking a limited number<br />

of centrifuges. Iran said its<br />

scientists discovered and<br />

neutralized the malware<br />

before it caused serious<br />

damage.<br />

Japanese Emperor Tsugunomiya<br />

Akihito underwent<br />

successful heart<br />

bypass surgery at the University<br />

of Tokyo on Saturday<br />

and was recovering<br />

despite poor health in recent<br />

months and several<br />

hospitalizations last year.<br />

The 78-year-old ceremonial<br />

but revered figure has<br />

minimal involvements in<br />

the day-to-day operations<br />

of the country’s government.<br />

Experts and attorneys<br />

representing survivors of<br />

the capsized Costa Concordia<br />

cruise ship said on<br />

Saturday that traces of cocaine<br />

were found on a<br />

sample of the ship’s captain’s<br />

hair. The drug was<br />

not found in his hair or in<br />

his urine, which would<br />

have indicated he used the<br />

substance sometime close<br />

to the moment when he<br />

ran the huge vessel<br />

aground near a Tuscan island<br />

the night of January<br />

13. And the elusive planet<br />

that the famed scientist<br />

Copernicus never saw will<br />

give residents of the<br />

Northern Hemisphere “a<br />

February 20, 2012<br />

very fine window of opportunity”<br />

to see it, beginning<br />

on Wednesday,<br />

according to NBC <strong>News</strong><br />

on Saturday. Hard to see,<br />

and harder still to find,<br />

since its orbit is closer to<br />

the Sun than to Earth,<br />

Mercury will line up beside<br />

Venus and Jupiter and<br />

will shine almost as bright<br />

as Sirius, the brightest star<br />

in the sky. Look west at<br />

twilight, the rest is easy.<br />

According to the<br />

White House on Friday,<br />

the United States’ economy<br />

is “on the road to recovery,”<br />

with stronger job<br />

growth expected this year,<br />

even though income inequality<br />

and Europe’s debt<br />

crisis could pose challenges,<br />

President Obama<br />

said. The administration<br />

released its 446-page Economic<br />

Report of the President,<br />

which outlines a<br />

plan to “recover, rebalance,<br />

and rebuild.”<br />

A day earlier, on Thursday,<br />

the U.S. Postal Service<br />

released its five-year plan<br />

to Congress, a move said<br />

to be a push for legislation<br />

to assist the service<br />

through its ongoing financial<br />

woes and a $3.3-billion<br />

loss in the final three<br />

months of 2011. The plan<br />

suggests cutting home delivery<br />

from six days a week<br />

to five, close thousands of<br />

post offices across the nation,<br />

and raise the price of<br />

a postage stamp to 50<br />

cents.<br />

On Friday, after weeks<br />

of laborious negotiations,<br />

Congress passed a $143<br />

billion package to extend<br />

a payroll tax cut and unemployment<br />

insurance<br />

through the end of 2012, a<br />

move that would provide<br />

each average American<br />

household an extra $1,000<br />

and five million persons<br />

with continued unemployment<br />

benefits. Left<br />

out of the package were<br />

suggested mandatory drug<br />

testing and GED programs<br />

for the unemployed.<br />

The Republican Party<br />

said on Saturday that<br />

Obama’s 2013 budget,<br />

which proposes $4 trillion<br />

NATiONWiDE<br />

in deficit reduction over<br />

the coming decade while<br />

investing billions more in<br />

programs to spur economic<br />

development, was a<br />

“road map to Greece.”<br />

Representative Cathy Mc-<br />

Morris Rodgers said<br />

Obama’s stimulus package<br />

three years ago promised<br />

to drop unemployment<br />

below eight percent,<br />

adding that it then peaked<br />

at ten percent and now is<br />

at 8.3 percent.<br />

Crude oil prices rose<br />

for a third straight day on<br />

Friday, topping $103 per<br />

barrel while remaining on<br />

track for a second consecutive<br />

week of gains, according<br />

to oil analysts,<br />

who added that drivers are<br />

on Friday followed<br />

through on his promise to<br />

reject a bill allowing samesex<br />

marriages in the state,<br />

vetoing a measure a day<br />

after the state Assembly<br />

the bill to the Legislature,<br />

Christie reaffirmed<br />

his view that voters were<br />

in The New York<br />

Times on Saturday that<br />

half of all births to American<br />

women under 30 years<br />

of age occur outside marriage.<br />

What was once<br />

largely limited to poor females<br />

and minorities has<br />

now settled deeply into<br />

middle America but the<br />

fastest growth in the past<br />

among white women in<br />

The first two-and-ahalf<br />

days will be all workshop,<br />

followed by a Job<br />

Fair Wednesday, February<br />

29, starting at 1 p.m.<br />

This will mark the 20th<br />

such Workshop and Job<br />

Fair held across <strong>Tennessee</strong>.<br />

Officials are enthusiastic<br />

about what they’ve been<br />

able to do for Guard<br />

members, reservists, veterans<br />

and spouses over the<br />

past 15 months.<br />

“It’s a terrific opportunity<br />

for military who have<br />

returned from deployment<br />

as well as for all veterans,”<br />

said Marvin Wells,<br />

National Guard Bureau<br />

Employer Support Specialist.<br />

“They will finish<br />

with a resume in hand and<br />

get the chance to speak<br />

with numerous employers<br />

on the concluding day of<br />

the workshop.<br />

The program focuses<br />

on analyzing skills veterans<br />

have attained through<br />

the military, strengths and<br />

weaknesses, effective job<br />

search strategies, writing<br />

resumes/cover letters, and<br />

mock interviews; also approaching<br />

the job- search<br />

process, researching companies,<br />

analyzing want ads<br />

and completing application<br />

forms.<br />

It is not limited to persons<br />

unemployed but to<br />

those who might also feel<br />

underemployed.<br />

“Employers like to hire<br />

veterans because they<br />

bring a work ethic that<br />

most others don’t possess,”<br />

explained John<br />

Alexander, Veterans Employment<br />

Representative<br />

with the State Dept. of<br />

Labor and Workforce Development.<br />

“They show<br />

up on time, they understand<br />

what’s expected of<br />

them, and they don’t wait<br />

around to be told every<br />

single thing. Just their<br />

entry-level military training<br />

still puts them ahead<br />

of almost everyone else.”<br />

Lady Wildcats Take on Polk<br />

<strong>County</strong> in First Round of Districts<br />

Ferocious Comeback Comes Up Short in Fourth<br />

Tulli Cole<br />

The era of tournaments<br />

and rivalry match-ups, the<br />

beginning of high school’s<br />

own version of March<br />

Madness, has finally arrived.<br />

The first round of<br />

the District 5-AA Tournament<br />

played out on the<br />

basketball-coliseum of<br />

McMinn <strong>County</strong> on<br />

Thursday night, February<br />

17. <strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s very<br />

own Lady Wildcats of<br />

Sweetwater faced off<br />

against their longtime opponents,<br />

the Wildkittens<br />

of Polk <strong>County</strong>, hoping to<br />

take a win and move on in<br />

the tournament. A slow<br />

start allowed their opponents<br />

to take a weighty<br />

lead, but the Lady Wildcats<br />

refused to given in.<br />

They rallied, fighting<br />

tooth and claw back into<br />

the game, matching their<br />

challengers point for<br />

point. In the end, however,<br />

the comeback fell<br />

just short, and the Lady<br />

Wildcats lost a true nailbiter.<br />

The Wildkittens<br />

caught the ball at tip-off,<br />

but their opening shot did<br />

not draw net. R. Thomasson<br />

snagged the defensive<br />

rebound on the other end<br />

of the floor, preventing<br />

any further attempts and<br />

allowing the Lady Wildcats<br />

their own shot at the<br />

old iron. Though the first<br />

stab did not fall, C.<br />

Grayson caught the offensive<br />

rebound and then<br />

caught R. Jefford, who<br />

drove to the basket for the<br />

pair of points.<br />

But those points were<br />

the last the Lady Wildcats<br />

found for some time. Polk<br />

<strong>County</strong> enjoyed an 8-0<br />

run to pull ahead with the<br />

lead, and even put away a<br />

last second foul shot to<br />

end the first.<br />

The Lady Wildcats<br />

only managed one more<br />

bucket in the first, courtesy<br />

of a steal by Jefford<br />

that turned into the basket<br />

in question.<br />

The score at the end of<br />

the first quarter was 4-12.<br />

The Wildkittens<br />

opened the second quarter<br />

with possession of the basketball,<br />

but tough defense<br />

by N. Burgess and Jefford<br />

forced a turnover. Unfor-<br />

tunately, Sweetwater was<br />

unable to convert on the<br />

offensive end, and it was<br />

Polk <strong>County</strong> who nabbed<br />

the first points of the<br />

quarter—a pair of foul<br />

shots. The Wildkittens<br />

soon scored yet again,<br />

thanks to a second-chance<br />

opportunity.<br />

But B. Mashburn was<br />

quick to respond to the<br />

three points with a triple<br />

of her own. She put away<br />

a three-pointer. She lathered,<br />

rinsed, and repeated<br />

not long afterward,<br />

matching a Wildkitten’s<br />

bucket with one of her<br />

own.<br />

With Mashburn’s<br />

points came a surge on the<br />

part of the Lady Wildcats<br />

team as a whole. Though<br />

foul trouble gave the<br />

Wildkittens several trips<br />

to the line, Sweetwater<br />

met Polk <strong>County</strong> point for<br />

point. A. Bowden’s hustle<br />

paved the way to a pair of<br />

free-throws during two<br />

trips to the line, as well as<br />

a banked-in three and a<br />

two-point bucket. Jefford<br />

also nailed a three, and S.<br />

Ervin put away two free<br />

throws after being fouled<br />

on a put-back attempt.<br />

Jefford’s had the final<br />

points of the quarters, her<br />

free-throws drawing<br />

Sweetwater to within 7.<br />

The score at halftime<br />

was 23-30.<br />

with possession of the basketball,<br />

but they hit another<br />

cold spell. For nearly<br />

4 minutes, they struggled<br />

offensively, while Polk<br />

<strong>County</strong> ran away in a 6-0<br />

run.<br />

Bowden ended the<br />

run—and her team’s cold<br />

spell—with a basket, and<br />

it was a herald of things to<br />

come. The Lady Wildcats<br />

were incredibly aggressive<br />

and efficient in the final<br />

minutes of the third,<br />

outscoring their district rivals<br />

11 points to 2. The<br />

points—courtesy of Bowden,<br />

Ervin, and Jefford—<br />

cut the lead to single digits<br />

yet again, with Sweetwater<br />

even closer than before.<br />

The Lady Wildcats’ defense<br />

even prevented a last<br />

drive by Polk <strong>County</strong>.<br />

The score at the end of<br />

the third quarter was 34-<br />

38.<br />

The Wildkittens won<br />

the first 5 points of the<br />

fourth quarter, but the<br />

Lady Wildcats once again<br />

rallied. N. Burgess put<br />

away a bucket to open the<br />

comeback, and she was<br />

soon followed by a teamup<br />

play by Mashburn and<br />

Ervin. A. Myers caught<br />

Bowden, who drove to the<br />

basket for a duo of points,<br />

and Ervin nabbed net to<br />

put the Lady Wildcats to<br />

within 3.<br />

A Sweetwater turnover<br />

led to two free throws by<br />

the Wildkittens, but Jefford<br />

quickly matched<br />

those with a steal and a<br />

basket. Much the same<br />

happened later in the<br />

quarter, when Bowden<br />

matched two Polk <strong>County</strong><br />

free throws with a pair of<br />

her own. With a little over<br />

a minute to play, the Lady<br />

Wildcats’ hustle had ensured<br />

a one-possession<br />

game: (46-49).<br />

But foul trouble for<br />

Sweetwater returned, and<br />

those trips to the line gave<br />

Polk <strong>County</strong> the advantage<br />

it needed. Although<br />

Ervin and N. Burgess<br />

combined for 4 points<br />

(Burgess’ even being the<br />

final play of the night), the<br />

Wildkittens scored 8<br />

points on foul shot attempts,<br />

allowing them to<br />

stay just out of Sweetwater’s<br />

reach.<br />

The final score was 50-<br />

57.<br />

Scoring for the Lady<br />

Wildcats were: A. Bowden<br />

(17), R. Jefford (14), S.<br />

Ervin (10), B. Mashburn<br />

Chiefs Take First Round in District Tournament<br />

Allen Roberts<br />

The Sequoyah Chiefs<br />

came into the District<br />

5AA tournament as the<br />

number one seed and they<br />

showed why they were top<br />

guns, taking care of the<br />

fourth-seeded Meigs<br />

<strong>County</strong> Tigers to advance<br />

to the upcoming championship<br />

game. Meigs<br />

jumped out early, but Sequoyah<br />

found its game<br />

and pulled away in the second<br />

half, taking the victory<br />

82-65.<br />

The first period saw the<br />

Tigers come out of the<br />

gates red hot, building an<br />

early lead, but the Chiefs<br />

responded toward the end<br />

of the frame, Taylor<br />

Hawkins drilled a threepointer<br />

and had a lay-up<br />

for five points, Trey Dyer<br />

made two buckets and a<br />

free throw giving him five<br />

points. Lucas Watson<br />

nailed a three-pointer, Andrew<br />

Millsaps had a basket<br />

for two points, and<br />

Jacob Coon tossed in a<br />

free throw, and at the end<br />

of the first quarter, the<br />

Chiefs led 16-14.<br />

The Chiefs continued<br />

to build on that lead in the<br />

second period, outscoring<br />

the Tigers 19-1. Watson<br />

had three baskets and a<br />

free throw for seven<br />

points, Hawkins drilled<br />

two treys for six points,<br />

Tevin West had a basket<br />

and a free throw for three<br />

points, Coon scored two<br />

The third period saw<br />

over as the Chiefs<br />

outscored Meigs 28-19.<br />

West nailed a threepointer,<br />

two lay-ups, and<br />

two free throws, giving<br />

him nine points. Watson<br />

had three baskets and<br />

three free throws for nine<br />

points. Millsaps hit a trey<br />

and a lay-up for five<br />

points, Hawkins tossed in<br />

three free throws, and<br />

Coon made two free<br />

throws, and at the end of<br />

three, the Chiefs had extended<br />

their lead to 63-46.<br />

The Tigers tried to rally<br />

in the fourth period, scoring<br />

19 points, but the<br />

Chiefs matched that effort,<br />

posting 19 points<br />

ACROSS FROM WIL-SAV<br />

together of rivals, and such<br />

was the case Thursday<br />

night at McMinn <strong>County</strong><br />

High School. The Wildcats<br />

of Sweetwater took<br />

on another breed of jungle<br />

cat: a squad of Meigs<br />

<strong>County</strong> Tigers. But despite<br />

a fierce, high-energy<br />

first half, poor rebounding,<br />

a stumbling third quarter,<br />

and turnovers ultimately<br />

doomed the Wildcats’<br />

chances, and they fell to<br />

the Tigers.<br />

The duo of squads exchanged<br />

blows on and off<br />

and on equal footing during<br />

the first quarter. The<br />

Tigers were the first to<br />

snag a bucket, off a second-chance<br />

opportunity,<br />

but the Wildcats were not<br />

far behind: Brandon Clark<br />

hustled to return a rebound<br />

for a bucket, and<br />

Jhamarus Brewster nailed<br />

a swishing three-pointer.<br />

A lack of rebounding<br />

on Sweetwater’s part allowed<br />

Meigs <strong>County</strong> to<br />

nab their next 4 points,<br />

but the Wildcats improved<br />

on that end of the<br />

game as the quarter continued.<br />

SWEETWATER<br />

LOCATED ACROSS FROM KMART<br />

Massengil, Clark, and<br />

Brewster outgunned the<br />

Tigers, granting the Wildcats<br />

a tenuous lead at the<br />

end of one quarter of play.<br />

The score was 16-14.<br />

Sweetwater opened the<br />

second quarter with possession,<br />

and their first<br />

drive resulted in a basket<br />

by Curtis Badiu. The<br />

Tigers briefly took back<br />

the lead, following two<br />

buckets and a foul shot,<br />

but Brewster helped the<br />

Wildcats pull ahead once<br />

again with a duo of points<br />

of his own.<br />

As the quarter ticked<br />

away, the Wildcats managed<br />

to hold on to their<br />

lead despite another small<br />

lead change. Alex Miller<br />

put away a pair of free<br />

throws, and soon afterward<br />

made a steal that<br />

transformed into another<br />

basket. Clark and Brewster<br />

also snagged a combined<br />

4 points.<br />

However, Sweetwater<br />

gave the Tigers several second-chances<br />

on the offensive<br />

end, allowing Meigs<br />

<strong>County</strong> to hang around,<br />

and perhaps too close to<br />

comfort.<br />

The score at halftime<br />

was 28-26.<br />

The Tigers ripped and<br />

roared in the third,<br />

outscoring the Wildcats 19<br />

to 8.<br />

On their opening drive<br />

of the quarter, a Tiger not<br />

only made a three-pointer,<br />

he was also fouled. His<br />

successful trip to the line<br />

gave Meigs <strong>County</strong> the<br />

lead once more, and they<br />

would score 4 more points<br />

(one bucket off a Sweetwater<br />

turnover) before<br />

Sweetwater could respond,<br />

when Massengil returned<br />

a rebound for a<br />

bucket.<br />

Massengil caught another<br />

rebound soon afterward.<br />

He was fouled in the<br />

put-back, and was able to<br />

sink a free throw while at<br />

the line. The Tigers were<br />

quick to respond to the<br />

points, however; they won<br />

two unanswered baskets—a<br />

two-point bucket,<br />

and a three-pointer off another<br />

Sweetwater<br />

turnover. Brewster and<br />

Clark together managed<br />

to match the 5-0 run with<br />

individual drives, but the<br />

Tigers fought for another<br />

Page 15 - The BUZZ<br />

6 points to retain their<br />

lead.<br />

The score at the end of<br />

the third quarter was 36-<br />

45. The Wildcats were the<br />

first to draw metaphorical<br />

blood in the final quarter,<br />

thanks to a basket by<br />

Brewster, but the Tigers<br />

were able to hold on to<br />

their lead with 4 more<br />

points.<br />

The Wildcats struggled<br />

offensively throughout the<br />

fourth quarter, and had little<br />

to no second-chances<br />

at the net during their<br />

possessions. Compounding<br />

their troubles were<br />

their rebounding woes and<br />

a couple of costly<br />

turnovers.<br />

In the end, even points<br />

by Massengil and Badiu<br />

(which cut the Tiger lead<br />

to 8, at one point), as well<br />

as steal a piece for Massengil<br />

and Miller, were not<br />

enough to help stem the<br />

tide, and the Tigers walked<br />

away with the victory.<br />

The final score was 48-<br />

62.<br />

Scoring for the Wildcats<br />

were: Jhamarus Brewster<br />

(18), Thomas<br />

Massengil (13), Brandon<br />

Clark (7), Curtis Badiu (6),<br />

and Alex Miller (4).<br />

roe <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s detective’s<br />

division with the<br />

Class B felony violation of<br />

initiating the process to<br />

manufacture methamphetamine<br />

was Jeffery<br />

Wayne Miller, 40, of Reed<br />

Springs Road.<br />

The detective division<br />

reported a dispatch to an<br />

active meth lab at Miller’s<br />

home, where Sheriff’s Sergeant<br />

James Wall had arrived<br />

earlier and flushed a<br />

male into nearby woods<br />

who was identified as<br />

Mark West.<br />

Wall said he had<br />

knocked on the door of an<br />

outbuilding on Miller’s<br />

property, an entreaty that<br />

was answered by a female<br />

identified as Brandi<br />

Sanchez, who was apparently<br />

inside the outbuilding.<br />

Wall told the detective<br />

division that he could see<br />

through the opened door<br />

what appeared to be a<br />

plastic bottle containing a<br />

chemical mix used in the<br />

manufacture of meth, and<br />

the smell, or fumes, coming<br />

off the apparatus was<br />

so strong and vehement<br />

that one deputy got sick.<br />

The detectives vouched<br />

for the odor, saying it was<br />

“strong.” The detectives,<br />

too, witnessed the bottle<br />

and its noxious chemical<br />

mixture.<br />
