Improvements ahead for Halls eyesore
For Jamie Snyder, being named the principal at Corryton Elementary School is like coming home. “I grew up in a school like this,” she said as she remembers attending Ramsey Elementary School. “Coming to Corryton takes me back to my roots.”

By Sandra Clark Halls guy Brian Blakely was grilled by the Knox County Blighted Property Review Commission about two of his properties with code violations. The most visible violation is the house turned sideways to Emory Road with blue tarps flapping in the wind. Blakely said his goal is to live in the house at 3316 Emory Road (near the Saddlebrooke subdivision) within a year.
Codes officials brought Blakely before the Review Commission in May when he received a 90-day deferral. When he appeared last Wednesday, little had been done. “I’m extremely embarrassed about this. I’ve let it go too long,” said Blakely. He has bush-hogged the lot and removed some shrubs, he said. Taxes have been paid and he’s lined up a company to install a green metal roof and build
a retaining wall. He’s requested rezoning from Agricultural to Residential which will be heard by MPC in September and by County Commission in October. Larry York, who represents the 6th District, did not favor a second extension, saying Blakely had not made adequate progress to clean up the site. “I’m voting for 90 more days but no more,” said Bill Sewell, who represents the 7th District.
he said. “I’m very excited to become a part of Shannondale’s strong academic tradition and take it into the future. That’s a big thing.” Nealy grew up in Boca Raton, Fla., but says he’s had a Big Orange heart since he was just a kid. “We have vacationed here forever and a day. My mom and dad had been coming here for 25 years, and I’ve been a Vol fan ever since I came for my first visit. When I taught in Florida, I decorated my room with Tennessee orange. I fell in love with it, became a Vol fan instantly.” Nealy’s parents, Barbara Jack Nealy, new Shannondale Elementary School principal, and John Nealy, moved relaxes outside in preparation for the start of school.

His motion prevailed, and Blakely will be back at the board’s Oct. 24 meeting. Sewell told Blakely to “stay in contact” with Roy Braden of Building Codes.

Jubilee marks five years By Ruth White Sharon Morton celebrated the fifth anniversary of Jubilee Banquet Facility with a big party last week. Family, friends and clients were invited out for cake, dancing and giveaways. When Jubilee opened in 2007, the Mortons were thinking of a place where church and school groups could gather. “I never even thought of having weddings and corporate events in the facility when we first opened, but that’s what the community was looking for,” she said. “We have even hosted a wrestling match in the gym, so I guess you can say that we’ve pretty much done it all.” Jubilee Banquet Facility is known for its gourmet dining, served buffet style. It is host to Powell Playhouse productions, Powell Business and Professional Association and recently the annual Powell High School Alumni Banquet. Jubilee has been family-owned from the start. “We have a saying on our front desk, ‘Come as a guest, leave as a friend’ and we try to make everyone feel that way,” said Morton. Jubilee is located at 6700 Jubilee Center Way off Callahan Drive. Info: 938-2112.

First Tennessee Bank was proud to be a major sponsor of the recent Ronald McDonald House Golf Tournament. K noxville’s Ronald McDonald House is a temporary home-awayFansler from-home for families whose children are receiving treatment for serious illnesses at area hospitals. In an effort to reduce stress, keep the family intact and enhance the quality of life for families, the Ronald McDonald House provides affordable services in a caring, homelike atmosphere. The house, which has been serving families of sick and injured children since 1985, is open to any family with a child age 21 or younger who is receiving medical treatment at an area hospital, including East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Since it opened, more than 45,000 people have found a home when they needed one the most. Families are asked for a donation of $5 per night for a room. The house provides facilities for sleeping, cooking, laundry and play. Relatives, including grandpardiscuss “Ironclads and Timberclads on the Western Waters.” Everyone is invited. Admission is $5 for the program, or come early for a buffet dinner for $17. RSVP by 11 a.m. Monday, Aug. 13: 671-9001.
Dr. Jessica Phillips has opened East Tennessee Pediatric Dentistry at 1703 Callahan Drive. The office will specialize in dental care for children ages 1 through 17, including cleanings, fillings, crowns and sedation dentistry. Info: 859-0355.
ents and siblings of children receiving medical treatment, are welcome. The Ronald McDonald House also offers a program where families with children at area hospitals use the house’s laundry, cooking and other facilities during the day. This enables families to complete daily tasks while away from home but still remain close to their sick child. On Valentine’s Day 2000, the Ronald McDonald House opened a second house beside the original house. Together, the two buildings can accommodate 16 families or 65 people nightly. The house needs everything that your house needs multiplied by 16. Keeping it stocked with everything from meals and coffee to laundry detergent and zip-lock bags is quite a challenge. (Go to www. k nox r m hc .or g/w i sh l i s t . html to view the “wish list.”) Everything needed is funded by the community. Support comes through fundraising events such as the annual golf tournament as well as donations of money and goods from caring groups and individuals. Knoxville’s Ronald McDonald House is one of 200 houses throughout the world helping 5,000 people daily.

Family members Naomi Nizeyimana, Henriette Nishimwe, Elisa Sindayigaya and Richard A. Nduwimana wait patiently on the porch of their new home with their grandparents and homeowners Stephania Mfatavyanka and Nicodem Ngendabakana.
Room for everyone By Ruth White Nicodem Ngendabakana and his wife, Stephania Mfatavyanka, are originally from Burundi, Africa, and have lived in camps and in different countries with no stability, often fearing for their safety. Since moving to this country, the family has often lived in separate apartments but is ready to live the American dream of homeownership. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity and its partners, the family – which includes daughter Gregonia and four grandchildren – will sleep under one roof for the first time in a long time. Elisa Sindayigaya described the feelings of his family best when he told the crowd gathered that he had experienced “the best time of his life” when receiving the keys to his grandparents’ new home in Lonsdale.

“There is enough room for all of us,” he said. The home was made possible through partnerships with Habitat and a great deal of sweat equity from the family and volunteers. At 22 years, Home Federal Bank is Knoxville Habitat for Humanity’s longeststanding covenant partner. Covenant partners provide half of the money for a home, currently $30,000, and significant volunteer hours to complete homes for the community’s needy. Recipient families pay a mortgage through Habitat. For the family, the hours of work dedicated to the project are far outweighed by the stability they feel. “I am so happy to have a brand new home,” said Ngendabakana through an interpreter. “I feel blessed to have this beautiful home.” Habitat partnership di-
rector Phil Watson presented the family with several gifts, including a “pounding” of food items from Second Harvest and a gift certificate from the Habitat store. KUB presented the family with a new dogwood tree for their yard. Following the blessing of the home, Gregonia Ntamalelelo looked to the sky and said it all in a few words, “Thank you, Jehovah!”

government Here comes the surplus, drip … drip A-4 • AUGUST 6, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS
Congratulations to Chris Caldwell, Knox County’s new finance director. Chris and this writer have engaged in a war of words and numbers for which there is no clear winner. But Chris is a bright young guy who will serve Knox County well. Mayor Tim Burchett made a good choice. In a brief interview, Chris reiterated that no one knows what the county’s surplus will be until the numbers are in. And he said if it’s $17.3 million, well, he might take me to lunch. You can call me hardheaded or even bone-headed, but you can’t say I don’t dig at an issue until I’m satisfied. Here’s where I’ve landed on the “surplus.” First, our numbers were right. Knox County already has collected $17.3 million Jason Webster more in revenues than it budgeted for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Schools: By agreement, scared to publicly offer 72.2 percent of the sales tax criticism.

Change abounds in Knox County schools Knox County teachers will report back to the classroom this week, but in many schools they may not recognize the boss. We’ve confirmed 19 changes in principals, but as late as Friday school system officials could not provide a complete list of appointments.
Jake Mabe What gives? You read in the Shopper-News last week about the shakeup at Shannondale Elementary School. Popular physical education teacher Lisa Loftin has been transferred, as has longtime custodian Arthur “Mr. Arthur” Spencer. Several Shannondale parents told reporter Betty Bean they believed the transfers were in direct response to vocal criticism of former principal Dr. Joy Foster, who has also been transferred. Word came last week and was confirmed by two sources that Halls High School assistant principal Jason Webster has been transferred to the L&N STEM Academy. One source who asked to remain anonymous said the transfer was made against Webster’s wishes even though it was intended as a promotion and that Webster fought it. As a teacher put it, “Jason was the heart of this school. He was the one to pat you on the head and tell you everything is going to be all right or that you’re doing a good job.” Now, Halls High School principal Mark Duff must break in an interim football coach and find a new softball coach, a new track coach and a new athletic director, all while focusing on important things, like, oh, say, academics. Making matters worse, several top-notch educators retired last spring from Halls High. No teacher I spoke with would talk on the record, saying they fear retribution from the central office. During the spring debate over the school budget, nearly every teacher with whom I spoke was

board, superintendent and commission will use it to fund one-time items listed in the budget that county commission failed to fund earlier this year. Raises: The commission sometimes spends money during the year. We’re still digging on this, but one major item was the mid-year 3 percent raise for employees under the sheriff and mayor. Caldwell estimated the cost for a half year (January through June) at $1.5 million. So, to answer Commissioner Richard Briggs who asked: “Where did this surplus go?” we’ve now got somebody besides this writer to account for $6.6 million plus $1.5 million. That’s $8.1 million down and $9.2 million to go. And there’s a lunch with Chris on the line.
What about the principals? Something else we’re digging on is persistent rumors that as many as 30 school administrators have been transferred this fall. We’ve got a list of 19, and a promise of the complete list this week.
A disappointing loss is at Whittle Springs Middle School where Dr. Jill Hobby has resigned for personal reasons. Dr. Elizabeth Alves is the interim replacement for Assistant Superintendent Dr. Donna Wright who departed for a similar job in a smaller system near Nashville. Two important appointments were announced earlier and became effective July 1. Dr. Clifford Davis, assisted by Dr. Jon Rysewyk, now oversees high schools and middle schools, joining Nancy Maland who oversees elementary schools. These administrators are key to staffing pr incipa ls, one must assume, although the Clifford Davis final call belongs to Superintendent McIntyre. Davis replaced Ed Hedgepet h who retired. Davis is a former Jon Rysewyk principal at South-Doyle and Karns high schools as well as Cedar Bluff Middle School. He joined Knox County Schools in 1990 as a math teacher
at Farragut Middle School. He served as an assistant principal at Bearden Middle from 1994-99. His doctorate is from UT. Rysewyk, formerly principal at Fulton High School, has replaced Davis as supervisor of secondary education. He joined Knox County Schools in 2002 as a science teacher at Karns High School after serving previously as a science teacher in the Roane County Schools. He was appointed assistant principal at Fulton High in 2004 and as principal in 2008. His doctorate is from East Tennessee State University.
Obamonomics Finance guru Andrew Tobias, who frequently writes for Parade Magazine, posted this on his blog: “Had you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 under just Republican presidents for the 40 or so years that they controlled the White House since 1929, that $10,000 would have grown to … $11,733. Had you invested that same $10,000 for the 40 years since 1929 that Democrats controlled the White House prior to the election of President Obama, it would have grown to $300,671. “Pop quiz: which is more? “And that $300,671 was before President Obama took office. The S&P is up 38 percent since then – which turns that $300,671 into $415,000.”

the 72 hours before election day may have turned the race in Kane’s favor. “We did the phone calls in addition to mailers and the usual things,” Swisher says. “This was a very important election.” “Those were real people on the phones – volunteers,” Kane adds. “They answered questions from voters up until the last minute.” Kane ran a strong grassroots effort. “Every Wednesday night for many months I have had people around the dining room table in my home. Volunteers have spent
Saturdays knocking on doors for me all over the district, and we have been at every event encouraging people to vote. “On election day we had people at every polling place asking for votes. I think that made a big difference, too. Many people don’t make up their minds who to vote for until they get to the polls.” Because there was no Democratic candidate in the race, Kane’s campaigning for this election cycle is over. He says he’ll spend the next few months going to Nashville “to see what is in the pipe-
line and start carving out my goals and desires for the district. Frankly, I think we have too many laws that are burdensome to the business owner. I want to see what we can eliminate.” He is also looking forward to spending some time with his family, most of whom weren’t in town for election day. Except for son Tim, they were in Houston watching daughter Hope win gold and silver medals in twirling at the Junior Olympics. There will be lots to celebrate when the Kane family is all together again.

Never give up – never You want leadership? Elect Herman Lathers. ■Courage in crisis. ■Experience in disaster management. ■Sound judgment. ■Sense of direction. The vote should be unanimous. Tennessee football needs Herman Lathers. Herm is a big fellow. He has been tested by fire. He really, really wants to be a winning Volunteer. He does not project as a first-round draft choice but he has earned the respect of teammates. He is long past childhood. From my perspective, Herman Lathers is an inspiration, the sort of story the Vol Network or FCA or NCAA could make into a movie for the benefit of all football. And the world.

The theme is never give up. Never. Lathers, 22, made it from Baton Rouge to where he is, UT graduate, senior linebacker, old man’s body, unofficial commander in chief, without a lot of socalled advantages. No easy street. No silver spoon. No daddy on duty. Childhood was marred by five years of bone cancer and many, many injections.
Happy heart took a hit in high school. He could play but LSU didn’t want him. Tennessee did. Herman reminded John Chavis of John Chavis. Defy the odds. Prove everybody wrong. Just do it. Achieve and exceed all expectations. Lathers did not get off to a great start. The routine physical discovered a blood disorder, maybe thrombocytopenia. Out with the spleen. Ask a doctor for details. Herman became a 2008 redshirt and was not a factor in the Fulmer staff exit. Lathers recovered. In middle-late 2009, injuries to others created an opening and he became a starter. He played well. In 2010, he was second in
Prayer at City Council Sorry to have been absent with a column the past two Mondays. I had a bum right hip replaced on July 16 under the skilled direction of Dr. Brian Edkin at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and the hospital staff. Recovery was not as fast as I had anticipated (which is not surprising), but I am now home and doing out-patient therapy. It is truly amazing what medicine can do today, and I am most fortunate to receive terrific care helped by a caring wife, Joan, and daughter, Martha. While media attention has focused on how County Commission handles prayer at the start of its meetings, this has not gone unobserved by city attorneys.

nine council members who wish to give the opening prayer: Daniel Brown, Mark Campen, Nick Della Volpe and George Wallace. This writer has learned that council attorney Rob Frost and city Law Director Charles Swanson are seeking to avoid a potential lawsuit on this issue and have advised the council members as to what words might trigger litigation. â– Mayors Rogero and Burchett have named new members to the Metropolitan Planning Commission.

The first day of medical clearance, early June 2011, volunteer workout, seven on seven, collision in pursuit of a pass, cleats stuck in turf, terrible ankle fracture. Great physicians Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher inserted a metal plate and a bunch of screws, nine little ones and two big, ugly twisters. Herman Lathers woke up wondering why me, Lord? He felt sorry for himself. He wept. For the fi rst time in his life, he thought about quitting. Maybe it wasn’t worth it. He found solace in his faith that God never lays more on you than you can
start to serve. The commission lacks a quorum until Gov. Bill Haslam names new members and will not be able to approve these appointees until a quorum is serving and able to meet. ■South Knoxville, which previously had no representation on the MPC, now has two members as both mayors appointed South Knox residents. ■Art Clancy, who was not re-appointed by Mayor Rogero, was appointed to a one-year term by Mayor Burchett so he will continue on MPC for another year. Clancy’s mother, the incomparable Sue Clancy, celebrated her 80th birthday on July 31 with events at both Cheskepeake’s and The Orangery. Sue led Knoxville’s Bicentennial Celebration in 1991. ■Eyebrows were raised when financial disclosures showed Mayor Rogero had donated to Democratic state representative candidate Anthony Hancock. It is not a surprise that Rogero, a Democrat, is supporting a Democrat but often mayors

avoid an actual donation. It will be interesting to see if Rogero personally gives to other Democratic legislative candidates. Hancock is considered the underdog in the race against Steve Hall. â– Rogero carefully avoided taking sides in the controversy over closing Belle Morris precinct by the Knox County Election Commission which Democratic candidate Gloria Johnson has made an issue. The Gary Loe vs. Gloria Johnson race will be the most contested House race in Knox County this November. â– Roger Kane defeated two better-know candidates in the GOP primary for state representative. He had the quiet but active backing of state Rep. Bill Dunn. It is unlikely former Sheriff Tim Hutchison will be a candidate in the immediate future given his second place finish to Kane coming on top of his lopsided loss to Tim Burchett in 2010. Many had thought his better name recognition would win the nomination for him in a four-way race, but it did not.
Lathers adjusted his attitude. He found blessings to count. He was alive. He could walk, well, hobble. He realized others faced trials and tribulations, some worse. Lathers was an untitled assistant coach last season, in meetings, at practices, keep going guys, you can do it. Teammates teased him about being old and just standing around, drawing unemployment checks, looking to Medicare. This spring he resumed combat, tentatively at first, then out front. This summer he called the group to order, study more video, grasp the vision, choose unity, build a house, climb a mountain, raft a river. Other Vols said he is the general. That’s good enough. He gets my endorsement. Elect Lathers. There is a need. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6y@netzero.com.
Caldwell to head finance Chris Caldwell has been appointed finance director for Knox County by Mayor Tim Burchett. Caldwell has worked for the Finance Department for 10 years. “Chris has done an outstanding job as interim finance director and has Chris Caldwell proven that he is fully capable of serving in that position on a permanent basis,� said Burchett. A native of Jacksboro, Caldwell graduated magna cum laude from Lincoln Memorial University and earned a master’s degree in business from Bellevue University. He will earn $120,000. Caldwell began working for Knox County as an accountant in June 2002. He worked his way up to the position of accounting and budget director, and has been serving as interim finance director since April.

Try dragonflies NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier
E
bony Jeweling, Swamp Speedwing, Twin-spotted Spiketail, Black-shouldered Spinyleg… are these creatures from the latest special-effect, aliens-consumethe-world movie at your local theater? Nope, they’re dragonflies, the other really neat flying insects out there besides butterflies. And, as an added bonus, they love to eat mosquitoes. But more on that in a moment. For sheer numbers of people in the field, nothing surpasses the phenomenon of bird-watching, or birding, as birders call their sport. Millions of individuals are out there, looking, listing and counting. And nowadays, they are all connected by the Web, through the Cornell Lab of Ornithology e-bird site, where literally every person in the world can report and save their sighting records, even on a daily basis. And all the data are fed into a giant Mother-disc with millions of pieces of information, giving an increasingly detailed pic-
ture of the world’s bird activity, up to the minute. But sometimes even hyperactive, twitchy birders run out of something to see. In off-season, on hot summer days, on just bad days, there may not be much shaking, bird-wise. So, some birders don’t just go home, they look for something else to watch. The next thing on nature’s plate for them would be wildflowers, if it’s the season, or butterflies, if they’re in the right place at the right time. And butterflying is now a booming hobby. Similar to the long-established birding organizations and activities, butterfly people have a national organization, the North American Butterfly Association. They have local groups, field trips, organized butterfly counts. And they have built a remarkable National Butterfly Center in South Texas on the Rio Grande River, complete with a nice reception center, educational displays, and acres of gardens that attract scores of common and rare butterflies,
many from across the border in Mexico. It is a destination attraction for everyone to see and enjoy, even if you’re just in tourist mode. Butterflies are amazing and beautiful, with lots of neat features, but for this birder, and a growing number of enthusiasts, there is another group of flyers out there that will really test your eyesight and reflexes: those dragonflies. Let’s train our binoculars on them here for a minute. Dragonflies have been around for a long time, a whole lot longer than possums and dinosaurs, right up there for longevity with everybody’s favorite, the cockroaches. There are beautifully-preserved fossils of dragonflies (and roaches) going back to the Carboniferous period, roughly 300 million years ago. In fact, there were some really big insects flying around the Coal-age swamps. There are fossil dragonflies from those times measuring a whopping 28 inches of wingspan! To have survived this long and prospered, you’d think they must be well-equipped for getting along in the world and they are. Unlike possums, which have made it through the eons by eating anything and having zillions of babies, the dragonflies survive with speed, quickness, excellent eyesight and scary, predatory larvae.

Fly fishermen and other close observers of life in nice, clean, rocky streams recognize dragonfly larvae. They live in various situations – in the bottom sand, on vegetation, behind rocks – but they all have a common weapon. It’s a big, hinged lower jaw with graspers at the ends that folds up against their face and then shoots out in a fraction of a second, to nab their prey. They eat other aquatic critters, insects and the like, and even grab small minnows. After terrorizing the stream where they live for varying periods of time, depending on species, the larvae metamorphose into adult dragonflies, ready for some real predation. For vision, the dragonflies have a pair of huge, compound eyes made up of as many as 56,000 transparent lenses, perfect for detection of tiny bits of (mosquitosized) movement, from as
far away as 30 yards. They have a neck like a praying mantis. As they sit or fly, they very quickly, and constantly, look up, down, sideways, ever alert for a possible meal on the wing. And flying? They zoom around at speeds of up to 20 miles an hour and border on the impossible for a person to catch. As they fly, the dragonflies hold their six legs down beneath their body to form a basket, which they use to capture small flying prey. Then the food item gets passed up to the jaws, where it is chomped up and eaten, frequently on the wing, without missing a wingbeat. They eat millions of mosquitoes, and keep bogs, ponds and marshes habitable for the rest of us with their healthy appetites. They eat critters even larger, though, on up to other dragonflies. There are seven families of dragonflies in North Amer-
ica, plus three of their cousins, the damselflies and more than 435 separate species. They come in a huge variety of colors and patterns. Often, like the birds, the males and females of a given species will have completely different colors. A nice pond or marshy area is prime dragonfly territory since they lay their eggs in or near water, but you can find them in pastures, parks and fields of wildflowers as well. I’m finding that digitally photographing them is really fun and challenging. With luck and patience, you can move up much closer to dragonflies than you can to birds, and they will sometimes cooperate for a nice still close up. Then, you can take them home on your memory card, look them up and identify them at your leisure. With increasing interest in dragonflies, good field guides are increasing in availability. Among others, try the “Stokes’ Beginners Guide to Dragonflies,” or Dunkle’s “Dragonflies through Binoculars.” And, by the way, a pair of close-focus binoculars is a big help with your observations, too. So there you are, another good reason to go out the door, folks. Spring flowers gone? Birds not singing? Try some dragonflies on for size.

The storms of life When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” (John 6: 16-20 NRSV) When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; When the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea, Thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me. (“Stand By Me,” Charles Albert Tindley) I have been on a small boat on the Sea of Galilee. Fortunately it was morning, and the wind was still. It was a sunny day in March, and the sea was glassy. Our guide told us, however, that in January, two years before, the waves had been 13 feet high – this on a body of water only 13 miles long and up to 8 miles wide. (To my East Tennessee eyes it looked more like a lake than a sea!) It was unimaginable, until she explained that the Valley of the Doves (also called the Valley of the Wind) acts like a funnel for the wind. The valley is really a pass through the mountains that rise to the west of the Sea of Galilee, a narrow pass, steep and dangerous. Sheer cliffs on both sides of the
Lynn Hutton
CROSS CURRENTS pass soar 600 feet above sea level, or 1,300 feet above the surface of the Sea of Galilee. When the wind blows through that small opening, it is like putting one’s thumb over a running garden hose. John tells us it was night, and Jesus was not with the Twelve when they started across the water. The sea was rough, and the wind was picking up. However, it was not the wind or the darkness that
frightened the disciples. It was the sight of Jesus coming toward them, walking on the surface of the water. I guess I can empathize with their fear. The night was all darkness and storm and howling wind and a boat at the mercy of it all. And then they see the Lord, coming toward them, walking on top of the water, his hair whipping around his face, and his tunic blown against his frame. What were they to think? John tells us not what they thought, but what they felt: “… they were terrified.” Can’t say as I blame them. It is great drama, the stuff of movies. But the real stunner was yet to come. Jesus said to them, “I am. Do not be afraid.” Now the NRSV renders that statement as “It is I, …” but in the Greek it is “I am,” which gives us a choice of two meanings. Either we hear it as an echo of God’s selfdescription to Moses on Sinai: “I am that I am.” In which case, Jesus is declaring his one-ness with the great God Almighty. Or, we hear it as Jesus’ statement that in and through his existence – his being, his “am-ness,” his presence with us – we are loved and cared for and need fear nothing. Or both.

Canned art An artist is still an artist regardless of the type of art they produce. Aurora Bull has been turning out beautiful works of art on canvas for years and has been canning for almost as long. She has a unique wall of art in her garage that might come as a surprise to those familiar with her oil paintings. From fruit to vegetables and many things in between, cans of homemade food line a wall of shelves built by husband Earl. “I first began canning when I lived in Florida and had fruit trees,” said Bull. Bull had a calamondin tree and started her canning by making preserves from the fruit. She and her family would often go out in local fields and pick their own vegetables too. “It wasn’t out of necessity as much as a novelty to me,”
DOWN-home UPdate said Bull. “We shared what we canned and still do, especially with our family. It can become a lot of work when you have a busy schedule because the garden doesn’t wait for anyone.” Bull recalls a time when she prepared sweet corn for her daughter who was around 8 years old. Her daughter loved the corn and disappeared after supper with a friend. They went to feed the horses and were gone for a long time. When they returned it was with two grocery bags full of corn. “They picked every ear
and most of it wasn’t ready,” said Bull. “But they learned.” Today the Bulls’ shelves are lined with jars of green beans, pickles, corn, salsa, pimentos, potatoes, V8 juice – which contains beets, carrots, onions, celery, spinach and tomatoes – kraut, relish, molasses, preserves, Christmas pickles (made with cinnamon and cucumbers the size of apples), jalapeño peppers, applesauce, red cabbage kraut, okra, pasta sauce and green tomatoes to make fried green tomatoes later. Grape juice is canned with the whole grape that is disposed of when it’s time to drink the juice. Some items are only canned every few years because preparation is so time-consuming. Bull says she loves trying new recipes but has a lot she will not go back to. She says the most unusual thing she has canned is sausage and loves to can the Christmas pickles. “Earl is the kraut man and does all the kraut canning,”
Aurora Bull in front of her wall of canned art. Photo by C.Taylor
said Bull. “He helps me with the other canning and preparation too.” The Bulls grow pretty much everything they preserve and Earl plans to try processing his own molasses this fall.
“My family used to can outdoors in a 55-gallon drum we put in a hole we dug,” said Earl. “You had to put cloth between the jars so they wouldn’t break.” The items preserved these days use a simpler process

A great place to learn, grow Jamie Snyder comes to Corryton By Ruth White For Jamie Snyder, being named the principal at Corryton Elementary School is like coming home. “I grew up in a school like this,” she said as she remembers attending Ramsey Elementary School. “Coming to Corryton takes me back to my roots.” Snyder was the literacy coach at Inskip Elementary when principal Elisa Luna and assistant principal Amy Brace were shot. “I had been shadowing Elisa when the incident occurred and the next day I was named interim principal at the school.” During her time spent as administrator, Snyder learned a lot and it helped her become who she is today. She entered the Principal Leadership Academy and studied to become an administrator. While in training, Snyder was placed with Ritta Elementary principal Christy Dowell as her mentoring principal. Upon graduation from the academy, Snyder’s first real appointment was as assistant principal at East Knox Elementary under principal Kay Dawson. “I learned so much from Kay and it was wonderful to watch her operate.” Just weeks before the school doors were to open for the fall, Snyder received a call to be principal at Corryton. “It was a bittersweet moment,” she said. Although she had been at East Knox Elementary for

only one school year, Snyder knew that this was what she went to the academy to do. Chatting with Snyder for a few minutes, it was easy to see the fit between her and Corryton. Snyder is a product of Knox County Schools and either attended or worked at several smaller community schools. She has worked in four different schools in four years while Corryton has had five principals in nine years, so she
understands the need for stability and familiarity for the students. As the new principal, she hopes to see continuation of what’s been going on in student achievement because “they are going in the right direction.” Snyder wants kids at her school to be able to ask questions, be inquisitive and be free to learn. “Corryton is a great place to learn and grow.”

Parents want their children to have everything they need for a good education, but in rural Appalachia; this privilege is sometimes an impossibility. In 1998, the Mission of Hope took on the yearly ministry of helping to provide school supplies to children living in poverty-stricken areas of rural Appalachia. Working through Elementary Schools with very high Free Lunch percentages; the Mission of Hope gathers together backpacks, glue, scissors, crayons, rulers, protractors, spiral notebooks, pens and pencils; so needy children can start the new school year with the necessary supplies. The Mission of Hope needs your help with its 2012 Back-to-School Campaign. We hope to assist over 10,500 Appalachian Children this year. Will you please help us help those in need?
If you would like to sponsor one or more children, make your tax-deductible check to Mission of Hope and send it to:

A school from the future By Madeline Lonas
Students my age don’t usually get excited about going to school. As for me, I am overly excited. For a freshman, high school can seem a little scary, but I have a feeling the teachers and students at the L&N STEM Academy are friendly. Built in 1905, the L&N was a train station. It contained separate waiting rooms for couples, single
women and for the “colored.� While the walls and windows for the “colored� waiting room were simple and dull, the “white’s� waiting room had beautiful stained glass windows and delicately carved wood trim. In 1968 the lastt train left the station and seven years later the build-
ing was sold. It stood vacant for another seven years before it was renovated for the 1982 World’s Fair. Two restaurants, Ruby Tuesday and the first L&N Seafood Grill, moved into the lower floors of the building. Three t years later, Alex Harkness and Station 82 Partners bought the building
for office space. In 2002 Ye Olde Steakhouse moved in. It stayed open for two years, until a fire damaged the building. In 2010, Tennessee was one of two states to meet goals set by the federal government and received Race to the Top funds. Dr. James McIntyre, Knox County’s school superintendent, led the way to take advantage of these one-time dollars for a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) school and it officially opened in 2011. While the building is more than 100 years old, the technology is straight from the future. With the help of Randy Boyd, every student who attends STEM receives their own iPad. Every classroom has a SMART Board, and some rooms have flat screen televisions that can connect with the iPads. Because STEM has no athletic teams, they can use that funding for academics. While there is no gymnasium, the Xbox Kinects keeps the kids bodies conditioned. They also visit the nearby YMCA once a week. The administration wants the environment to feel more like a college than a high school. Small study rooms that offer couches and bean bag chairs are available equipped with flat screen TVs and dry-erase boards. All of the hallways and classrooms have motion sensor lights that save electricity. STEM’s library is called “the library from the future� mainly because all you see are computers in the room. Behind every door, you never know what you will find. STEM’s Robotics team built a robot last year that could shoot a basketball into a hoop. You may not realize that they also offer chorus and orchestra. Students compose music by plugging their iPads into keyboards to record. Digital Art classes give their computers a workout.
Teacher Frank Wood shows the robot constructed by a team of students that was featured in a recent competition. During lunch students enjoy sitting inside or outside on the patio or take advantage of the many invited speakers. The larger classroom is surrounded with speakers so you won’t miss a word. The STEM Academy is committed to balancing fun and learning. They want their students to grow up and have the opportunity to get amazing jobs.
STEM Academy principal Becky Ashe leads a tour of Knox County’s newest high school.

UT NOTES ■ The UTK chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management was recently named one of the outstanding chapters worldwide, according to its parent organization. Recognition is based on the chapter’s professional development of student members, student internships, community volunteer work and contribution to the human resources management profession. The UT chapter consists of about 50 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in human resource management. ■ Comedian Leanne Morgan is an Accomplished Alumni of 2012. Morgan, a 1992 graduate of the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences, appeared on ABC’s “The View” and as a finalist on Nick at Nite’s “Funniest Mom.” ■ Lippincott’s DocuCare EHR, a devise that integrates electronic health records into a simulated learning tool for students, was developed in a joint endeavor by UTK’s Tami Wyatt, associate professor of nursing, and her graduate student Matt Bell (now an alumnus), along with Xueping Li, an associate professor in industrial and information engineering and his graduate student, Yo Indranoi. ■ UTK has been rated one of the “best and most interesting” schools in the 2013 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges, which reviews colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. The publication was released this summer.

Stephanie Odgen and intern Mitchell Kolinsky use an app on the iPad to make a rhythm video.
First impressions By Sara Barrett What impressed me most during the interns’ tour of the L&N STEM Academy was the perfect blend of past, present and future. Original L&N Depot lighting in the form of a huge glass chandelier hangs in the entryway, right over the desk in the school’s front office. Mosaic tile still covers the floor where folks from the segregated South prepared to board trains years ago. Markings on the floor of the career planning and guidance area even show where walls were used to keep people of different races from interacting with each other. Students of every color now walk those floors today – side by side – to get to their next class with iPads in hand. Technology is neatly tucked into every corner of the old train station; even the water fountains are high-tech with slots to fill
water bottles in addition to the usual water fountain. Need to contact your teacher, but don’t have a pen to jot down her email address? Just use your iPad to scan the Smart Code taped to the classroom door. Within a couple of seconds, the teacher’s information page comes up from Knox County Schools’ website. While climbing the stairs to the second floor, I wondered if the students attending classes in this environment realize how fortunate they are. School principal Becky Ashe told the Shopper interns about the art students’ weekly visits to the neighboring Knoxville Museum of Art, and how gym class is often a swift stroll down the block to the Y. As an “old school” high school graduate from Farragut, I can see how many parents may be just a bit envious of their child’s experience at the L&N STEM Academy.
– Meal provided at 6:30pm –
The 2012 version of Shopper-News interns has ended with this week’s report on the L&N STEM Academy. We had a blast! On Tuesday we asked interns to evaluate the program, looking for places to keep or toss for next season. Juvenile Court Judge Tim Irwin was a hit with every intern. Most were impressed with the courtroom experience with Circuit Court Judge Dale Workman, although Jacob Messing said he wished we’d “had a better trial.” Workman probably did too. The hands-down favorite meal was prepared by B&G Catering in Gibbs. The kids are still talking about those hamburgers and cookies. The most interesting venue for lunch was the Blue Plate Special at the Knoxville Visitor’s Center. Best characters were Joe Longmire talking about Corryton history, followed by a visit to the farm of Carolyn and Calvin Copeland.
What stood out? The big guns at the regional FBI headquarters; the big press at the News Sentinel; the big sludge pond at Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Everyone enjoyed a personal tour of the STEM Acadmy and two of this year’s interns plan to attend there. Two former interns, Owen Sanders and Leo Coppock Seal, already are students there. So here are thanks to those who helped: Ruth White and Sara Barrett from the Shopper staff. Ruth’s motto: “What is said in Ruth’s car, stays in Ruth’s car.” Karen Schmidt at KNS and the folks at Cancun Mexican Restaurant in Halls; Ranee Randby who set up our tour of the Knox County Health Department and Sue Renfro who did likewise at KARM; Sandy Liford, Nick Jackson, Ronnie Qualls and the HPUD staff, along with Roy Arthur who talked about his work to clean up Beaver Creek and Jenny Woodbery who showed us around the
new engineering building at UT. Thanks also to Joe Longmire and the Copelands; to Judges Workman and Irwin; and to the one and only Richard L. Bean, for whom a building is named. Thanks to Carol Evans of Legacy Parks Foundation for showing the kids Mead’s Quarry and Fort Dickerson; and thanks to Judy McCarter for arranging our tour of the FBI. Thanks to Russ Oaks and Mary Martin who arranged our tour of the STEM Academy, along with principal Becky Ashe and her staff who made it fun. Ruth, Sara and I made a pact: We’re starting today to recruit interns for next summer. We’re looking for rising 9th graders who can meet with us on Tuesdays. There’s no cost and lunch is on us. We ask that interns photograph or write about the places we visit. Interested? Email Sara at barretts@ShopperNewsNow.com or Ruth at betty photo@aol.com.

Answer: Sealants for teeth are plastic-like coatings that are "painted" into the cracks and crevices of primarily molar teeth. These coatings are placed on teeth to help prevent decay that often starts in these areas during the cavity prone years of childhood and adolescence. The first permanent
molar teeth are usually erupting ("coming in") in a child's mouth by age six, and sealants can be placed on them soon after the "gum" recedes away from the chewing surface of each tooth.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Fort Sanders Regional has special NICHE for elder care Fort Sanders Regional was recently identified as one of the top 10 hospitals in the country that has performed exceptionally in disseminating knowledge and incorporating validated protocols for geriatric care into nursing practice. Fort Sanders Regional has also participated in research projects sponsored by NICHE. NICHE, which stands for Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders, is an innovative program designed to enhance the care of older adults. NICHE is a nationwide effort to better meet the unique health care needs of aging adults across America. Covenant Health is proud to be the first health care system in the state, and the only one in East Tennessee, to bring the specialized services that NICHE offers to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
Join the 50+ Fun of Covenant Passport!
“The care of older adult patients presents a different set of challenges. …” – Stan Boling, Covenant Health Senior Services Stan Boling, Covenant Health’s vice president of Senior Services, explains, “The care of the older adult presents a different set of challenges that all health care team members should be aware of, and should assess on admission, during the acute care stay and all the way through to the discharge setting.” Boling says older adult patients often have multiple chronic illnesses and reduced function that may be both physical and cognitive. These issues can affect that patient’s success after they’re discharged from the hospital.
“The health care team needs to become expert in anticipating geriatric syndromes, in using state-of-the-art assessment tools and procedures based on sound integration of the NICHE program.” NICHE provides nurses with specialized training related to common health problems of older adults. These include issues such as skin breakdown, falls/injuries, confusion or
loss of strength/mobility. NICHE-certified gerontological nurses offer patients and families a high standard of care while promoting patients’ independence and facilitating a comfortable transition home. For more information about the NICHE program, including resources for older patients and their families, visit www.nicheprogram.org.
The Covenant Passport program motto is, “Life is a journey, and it’s more enjoyable if you stay healthy, fit and active.” That’s what Covenant Health Passport strives to be all about: helping people age 50+ enjoy better health and get more out of life. Passport members enjoy opportunities like free or reducedcost health screenings, and Brown Bag Lunch Learning programs, lectures and seminars. There are also travel opportunities for Passport members, featuring special rates on local tours and events as well as longer excursions such as cruises or trips. Members receive a quarterly newsletter with stories about active senior adults, health information and handy tips about dealing with life changes. Membership in Covenant Passport is absolutely FREE!

Baby your aging skin! Skin trivia: Did you know? ■ The skin is the largest human organ, covering nearly 25 square feet. ■ Skin makes up about 15 percent of our body weight. ■ Humans shed and replace outer skin cells every 27 days. ■ With aging, replacement of the outer skin cells takes longer. ■ By the age of 70, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. As we get older, understanding the ins and outs of aging skin care becomes more important. Here are a couple of tips about aging skin care to keep in mind: First, aging skin care is not all about just looking younger. The goal is to make sure your skin has all the nutrients it needs to be Anne Marie healthy. As we grow older, Rodgers our body produces less of what our skin needs to keep from getting flaky and brittle. It is up to us to change the way we take care of our skin to compensate for that loss.
For example, your current soap may cleanse well, but do nothing to replenish necessary nutrients your skin needs. It may actually remove essential elements that older skin no longer produces in excess. Changing to a gentler soap may be part of our skin care regimen. It’s also important to avoid the use of HOT water and excessive friction. Environmental factors such as low humidity and cold air lead to dry skin. Moisturizing dry skin helps keep the skin more supple, lessening the chance of the skin cracking and reducing the possibility of injury from trauma. Apply moisturizers twice a day to slightly moist skin to get the most benefit. What you eat may help your skin age better. Our skin, like any of our organs, needs vitamins and nutrients to be healthy. As we age, we need more of certain elements to keep our skin supple and healthy. Daily suggestions can be found on the Modified Food Pyramid for Seniors. Any dietary changes or supplements should be made with approval of your physician. Recognize what a dynamic organ the skin is throughout your life span and appreciate the skin you’re in! Realize that you have the ability to protect and maintain your skin’s integrity.

‘Primp Your Pit (Bull)’
Find a pet Help other animals
If you’re considering an addition to your family, this fall is the time to take the leap.
Sara Barrett
Critter Tales Young-Williams Animal Center has qualified as one of 50 shelters nationwide in the running to win this year’s ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. YWAC has the chance to win $500,000 in grant funding and a grand prize of $100,000. Do you realize how many animals that could spay or neuter? Your connection to this opportunity is adopting a
AARP DRIVER SAFETY CLASS
pet from the center. During the months of August, September and October, YWAC is competing against 49 other shelters to find homes for more cats and dogs than the same period in 2011. The goal is to save at least 300 more animals. The shelter that saves the most animals during this three-month period – beyond the baseline goal of at least 300 more lives than the same time period last year – will win the $100,000 grand prize. Young-Williams Animal Center’s goal is to save 1,512 lives in three months. Amy Johnston, director of outreach for Young-Williams Animal Center, said the $100,000 grand prize “would help us expand our spay/neuter program, enhance our adoption and foster programs, and strengthen the safety net for our community’s neediest pet owners by expanding our pet-food pantry.” To help raise the number
Orphan Annie is one of the many animals you can adopt at Young-Williams this month to help the facility win the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. Photo submitted of adoptions, YWAC will have special promotions during the three-month period including a “Read to the Dog” back-to-school adoption evening 7-10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, where families can read to and visit with shelter dogs. Reduced adoption fees for adult dogs and puppies will be avail-

According to the staff at Young-Williams, two out of three pit bulls brought to the shelter will be euthanized. To help sway this number toward a happy ending, Young-Williams will host the spay/neuter special “Primp Your Pit (Bull)” throughout the month of August. Sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the promotion will help a sweet breed with a bad reputation. Have your pit bull spayed or neutered for $20, and Young-Williams will even throw in a nail trim. All owners of pit bulls are eligible for this special, regardless of income. The only requirement is mentioning the “Primp Your Pit” promotion when you call Young-Williams to schedule the procedure. In general, spaying/ neutering helps solve the problem of animal overpopulation and reduces the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections in all animals. Info: 215-6677 or www.

‘C’ is for cookie
Kids
August 6, 2012
By Ruth White
M
y mother told me many years ago that my grandfather was a baker. That explains why, when all of my friends were playing with dolls or playing school, I was using Play-Doh and cookie cutters to pretend that I was the owner of the best bakery in town. As long as I can remember, I have loved being in the kitchen. When I was a young girl I would make the best mud pies on the block and would season them with my mother’s spices. In high school I always made sure there were fresh baked cookies, brownies or caramel corn on the athletic bus to games. I loved to see the smiles that wonderful treats brought to the faces of my friends. This is a tradition that I have continued and have passed on to my own daughter. More than four years ago I pulled out the pastry bags and

decorating tips and taught my daughter how to decorate cookies. These decorated treats would be given to a football player, inside a colorfully painted bucket on game day. The first several batches of cookies had their
flaws, but they tasted wonderful and the best part was using a craft to bond with my daughter. Making the cookies grew past the football bucket and they began to pop up at baseball and basketball games, welcomed new
cheerleaders to the team and helped raise money for breast cancer awareness. Friends began to mention that their birthday was coming up soon and would love to have some cookies for their special day (hint, hint). I have tried several recipes but always fall back to a personal favorite. The shape of the cookie may not be perfect but the taste is what matters most. Royal icing is the topping of choice for me because it dries to a hardened state that allows for the cookies to be stacked without smashing hours of work. Perfecting the skill of
icing and then turning shapes of dough into recognizable objects has taken hours of practice and researching techniques on the Internet. Thousands of pounds of cookie dough, mounds of royal icing and more colors than one might imagine, the quality of the decorating has improved and it’s a thrill to watch my own child share the same passion I did at her age. To some, they are just cookies. To me, they are memories made that will last for my lifetime and hopefully beyond.

Going for ghoulish Students learn from pros during filmmaking camp By Wendy Smith Someday, a fresh crop of Hollywood filmmakers may credit the Garden Montessori Film Institute in Fountain City for giving them their first big break. Until then, some of them will have to finish the 6th grade. Garden Montessori School recently wrapped up its third annual filmmaking camp. There were two sessions this year, and each completed a short
film. The first camp, which was attended by upper elementary through high school students, produced a “mockumentary” called “Life’s a Mountain, Climb It: the Radiator Zebras Story.” It’s the tale of a rock band sliding downward into conflict – and smooth jazz. The second was an advanced camp for middle and high-school students, who filmed a horror movie called “Trillo del Diablo,” or “The Trill of the Devil.” The success of the camp is partially due to the community’s wealth of moviemaking professionals. The director is Gibbs High School and UT alumnus
Kelly Vasconcelos. She spent 15 years doing film and commercial work in Los Angeles before returning to Knoxville. She assumed the move would end her film career, but she was wrong. The volume of instructional TV produced in this area means there’s an abundance of local talent. The low cost of filming here is attractive to professionals like Vasconcelos’ friend Octavia Spencer, the Academy Award-winning actor who starred in “The Help.” In 2010, Spencer chose Knoxville as the location for a movie she wrote and directed called
With Primrose,® she will be. My husband and I really try to have a culture of loving to learn at home, but since she started at Primrose, I feel like actually it’s our daughter that’s been bringing that energy into our house.

the school’s director, Dian Taylor, who agreed to give it a try. One session was offered the first year. Last summer, another session was added, and the movie produced by the advanced acting camp won an Audience Choice Award at the 2011 Knoxville Horror Film Festival. Vasconcelos hopes to enter “Trillo del Diablo” in several film festivals. Members of this year’s advanced filmmaking camp knew from the beginning that they wanted to take a stab at another horror film. “Scary movies are easier to make than comedies, because with comedies, you have to come up with all of your own jokes,” says Cian Bell, a rising 6th-grader who participated in the advanced camp. “To do a horror movie, you just have to make people jump.” Bell reports that the “Trillo” during a premier audience members did in- of both films held July 27 deed jump when they saw at Fourth United Presby-

lent his talent, and his liquid latex, to the camp this year. “Trillo” direc-
tor, Central High School senior Hayley Huckaba, spoke with a variety of professionals to learn how to turn students into gruesome ghouls. While the campers learned a lot from the pros, the final product was written, performed and edited entirely by kids. It was especially empowering for those who thought filmmaking could only be accomplished in Hollywood, says Vasconcelos. Huckaba, who has participated in the camp for three years, hopes to attend film school after graduation. She was out of town during the editing process, and was surprised and delighted to see the final cut of “Trillo.” She’s proud of what the campers achieved. “When you think that this was all done by people between the ages of 10 and 17, it’s pretty incredible,” she says.

FULL-SERVICE CHILD CARE CENTER for all your family needs.
The cupcake kid By Ruth White Josh Ray is not your typical 16-year-old. He has a pretty good head for business combined with a creative talent that has him on a pretty clear path for his future. He has been decorating cakes since he was 11 years old and enjoys making other people smile with his tasty creations. “My mom did a little bit of cake decorating when I was younger,” he said remembering his third birthday cake. Josh has taken the creative side of cakes to a whole new level. When Julie Graham, market manager at New
Harvest Park, was looking for ideas for the annual blueberry festival, she came across a market that had hosted a cupcake contest. She asked Josh for help with planning a similar event in Knoxville. “I went away for a week on a mission trip and when I returned Josh had already developed a Facebook page, Web page, set up an email account and developed spreadsheets for the event.” Josh has participated in several local competitions including the Great Cake Bake where he won a third place ribbon in the junior division for wedding cakes; and the Tennessee Valley Fair, winning
second place in the junior division. He used these experiences to organize the cupcake contest, recruit judges and plan fun activities for participants. There have been several times that Josh feels he has (pardon the pun) bitten off more than he could chew when choosing a theme for his cakes. “I made my sister a cake for her 16th birthday and it was a three-tier cake. I tried to make a lot of icing in a small bowl with a hand mixer,” he said. “I broke two mixers in the process.” Another creation that didn’t quite turn out as expected was the Halloween cake that was supposed to
be a cauldron but turned out more like a volcano. His family is supportive and is always willing to eat the cakes that don’t turn out as planned. His friends think it’s cool to have someone around who enjoys baking and does it well. “Several friends have asked me to teach them how to get started baking.” As for his future, Josh plans to go into business marketing and would also like to attend culinary school. With his experience and skill, he would like to organize events and possibly raise money for charity. Helping others while doing what he loves Josh Ray checks out the entries for the Cupcakes in the Park would be icing on the cake. contest at New Harvest Park. Photo by Ruth White

Tips for Buying Kids’ Shoes When it comes to buying shoes for your children, there are so many different styles available; it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which one to choose. The most important thing to keep in mind is that your child needs proper foot support during childhood’s growth years is critical. A child’s foot can grow up to about the age of 18, and the most important development happens in the first seven years. Here is a quick look at how fast kids’ feet grow: ■ Under 12 months old, every 2 months. ■ 12 months to 2.5 years old, every 3 months. ■ 2.5 to 4 years old, every 4 months. ■ From 4 to 6 years old, every 6 months.

It should bend with your child’s toes – where the ball of the foot will be, rather than in the middle of the shoe. Toe room.

Shoes that do not fit properly can be uncomfortable and unhealthy. That is why it is important to always measure a child’s feet before buying shoes. Every shoe fits differently, so do not buy shoes based solely on the size printed on the shoebox. Make sure your child tries on every shoe and watch them as they walk to make sure they seem comfortable and fit properly.
for irregularities in stitching, glue or stapling. Look for a stiff heel cup. Press on both sides of the heel counter. It should not collapse. To help parents find shoes that fit properly, here are some helpful shoe buying tips: ■ Make sure to see a professional trained in fitting shoes for infants, toddlers and young children. For example, Stride Rite’s Fit Training Program received the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The seal recognizes products evaluated by a committee of podiatrists that contribute to better foot health. ■ Have your child’s feet measured every 2 to 3 months until toddler years, then every 3 to 4 months after that.
■ Feet are seldom precisely the same size. Always buy for the larger foot. ■ Do not buy shoes that need “breaking in.” Shoes should be comfortable from the beginning. Observe your child walking around in both shoes for longer than a few minutes. Then, check each foot to make certain there are no irritation marks. ■ Make sure the shoe is not too heavy. A heavy shoe can make your child walk ir-
regularly, preventing the development of a normal walking pattern. ■ If a child complains of foot pain or discomfort, schedule a check-up with your local podiatrist who specializes in children’s foot care.

Get The Whole Family Organized At Back-To-School Time Back-to-school season is the ideal time for families to reestablish routines and get organized -- both at home and on the go. But before hitting the stores for supplies, take time to plan ahead with shopping lists that meet both your children’s and your family’s needs. There are many great tips to help get a fresh start on the academic year ahead:
Save
If you have more than one child, or want to stock up for the year, save on items like glue sticks, notebooks and writing utensils by taking advantage of sales and purchasing value packs, which are easy to find at back-to-school time. For better deals on items like tissues and sanitizing wipes, hold off until you are also buying these products for the home at a warehouse club or with coupons.
Teach Organization
Teach kids the importance of starting the day organized. One
way to simplify the morning shuffle is by assigning a color to each child for easy identification of binders, backpacks and pencil pouches. Assign colors before shopping to prepare for easier in-aisle decisions. Five Star products (www.meadfivestar.com), for example, are available in a variety of on-trend patterns and basic solid color options to complement and contrast styles. Or use color-coded stickers and labels to maintain consistency.
Synchronize Schedules
The school year often brings additional commitments for families. Creating a “mission control” in a central location in the home will improve communication and ease the stress of time management. Look for calendars with high functionality like meal planners, “look-ahead” features, magnetic backings and repositionable peel-and-stick adhesives. Don’t
sion slips and medical forms. Parents and children all benefit from a paper management system. Use bins, expanding files and binder dividers with “reminder” f lags to keep track of priorities. Flag items needing immediate attention -- whether it’s homework or paperwork. If your children have busy schedules, make it easier for them to work on the go. Opt for binders with writing surfaces, internal storage pockets for loose paper and places to stash pens and pencils. And you can do the same. Consider using binders and expanding files in the car to create a place for last-minute notes, papers and storage. forget to include a white board Vow to spend time on a weekWith a little planning and or cork board where notes can ly basis reviewing and synching creativity, the whole family calendars and discussing the can prepare to stay organized be left for one another.
