Show House veterans Heeding call of duty on Symphony League fundraiser By Betsy Pickle Becky Paylor is not looking to do a three-peat. She and her husband, Bob, are going through the excitement – and headaches – of having the Knoxville Symphony League Show House for the second time. Their emptynester in the Westland Lakes neighborhood is impeccably outfitted with furniture and decorations by the area’s top designers and will be open to the public April 11-27. But Paylor does not intend to do a third show house. In fact, she doesn’t plan to move again. “They’re going to carry me out of here feet first,” she says, chuckling. Having the show house again was not on Paylor’s mind. She joined the Symphony League after her first time, becoming more and more active through the years. She is the president-elect as well as the show house co-chair, with Edie Volk, and they thought they had a house lined up, but the schedule did not work out. The annual show house, the league’s biggest fundraiser, must follow a very specific construction
The Episcopal School of Knoxville’s headmaster, Jay Secor, has announced he will retire at the end of the 2014-15 school year. He will have worked in education for 42 years. Secor was named the founding headmaster of ESK in 1998. He said after 16 years he feels the school is ready for fresh leadership that will continue to grow what he started. “I am a ‘lucky guy’ to have been tapped to be the founding headmaster

timeframe in order for the room designers to do their work before the tours begin. When they realized that they were at the deadline to find another house, Volk looked at Paylor and said, “Well, your house is under construction.” “So at that point I went to Bob and said, ‘How do you feel about adding another 1,000 square feet back to our house?’ Our show houses are generally a minimum of 5,000 square feet so we can accommodate multiple designers. He swallowed real hard and said, ‘You know, it’s the right thing to do because we can’t not have a show house.’ “That would be $60,000 to $70,000 that we would not be able to give to the orchestra. The Symphony League gives them almost $200,000 every single year from all of our fundraising projects we do. To suddenly knock out a potential $70,000 would not have been good.” Paylor says she feels more at ease this time around. She also feels more invested. She’s passionate about the youth music programs the league helps to fund, and as the show house co-chair, she

of the Episcopal School of Knoxville,” said Secor. “From its fragile beginnings on the grounds of St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church to the school that we love today, ESK has grown a great deal.” During Secor’s time as headmaster, ESK has expanded resulting in record enrollment and the launch of programs including Farm to Table lunch, a school-wide sustainability program and a Flex 1:1 program for middle school
students. Amy Schumake, president of the board of trustees for ESK, said Secor has played an integral role in the school’s history. “His legacy is nothing less than the very existence and excellence of The Episcopal School of Knoxville,” said Schumake. “From 1998 to today, Jay has led this dynamic institution with unparalleled leadership, vision and good humor.” The student body has grown from 23 students
the first year to 350 students this year. During Secor’s final year, he will oversee the addition of new lower school classrooms. The board of trustees has formed a search committee and retained the services of a national executive search and leadership advisory firm specializing in independent schools, colleges and nonprofits. Schumaker said they anticipate that ESK’s second headmaster will be announced this fall.
Patrols are adequate, says sheriff By Sandra Clark Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones says he has all the patrol officers in neighborhoods that he can afford, that he’s almost doubled the count from January 2007 when he became sheriff, and that Bobby Waggoner knows better than to scare people about home safety.
Analysis Waggoner, who is challenging Jones in the May 6 Republican primary, earlier said neighborhood patrols are thin – fewer than 30 officers on a shift – and it’s a

question of the sheriff’s priorities. The former chief of detectives promised more officers on patrol if he’s elected. In an interview last week, Jones said his office continuously monitors calls to Jones allocate officers to areas of highest crime. “When I took over we had some 17 to 18 officers on (patrol) duty. Now it’s about 30.” Knox County outside the city (the Knoxville Police Department patrols inside the city) is divided

In addition to the patrol officers, other certified, gun-carrying officers are in the field, Jones said, especially during the day when civil and criminal warrants are served. “We have 220 officers (in addition to patrol) out in neighborhoods and in school zones. The men and women of the sheriff’s office do a great job.” Jones pegs neighborhood safety as “8 to 8.5” on a 1-10 scale. “People feel safe because we work hard,” he said. “People don’t want to live in a neighborhood that’s

Patrols are adequate crawling with cops.

Waggoner said last week that Jones could spend more on patrol if he didn’t serve as a “retirement home for former county commissioners.” Waggoner said six of them work for Jones, costing the county about $170,000 per year. The six are: Greg “Lumpy” Lambert, Mark Cawood, Ivan Harmon, Larry Clark, Lee Tramel and Fred Flenniken. Four were on Knox County Commission when Jones was appointed to replace the term-limited Hutchison on the day now known as Black Wednesday. One was hired the next day, said Waggoner.

Vote on charter schools shows legislative disconnect At a League of Women Voters forum last week, all six candidates for school board pretty much agreed about one thing:
Betty Bean Charter schools – they don’t much like them. “Troublesome,” said chair Lynne Fugate, who said the Metro Nashville school district loses $9 million to charter schools annually. Incumbent Pam Trainor also has concerns: “I don’t like to see public money going to private entities.” Challengers Sally Absher, Scott Clark and Amber Rountree said they don’t like charters (with Absher saying that only half of charter schools outperform public schools). Clark recommended putting teacher/ coaches back in the class-
room to lower student/ teacher ratios, while Rountree said that charters don’t play by the same rules and recommended that Knox County Schools focus on community schools instead. Patti Bounds, running unopposed, said she doesn’t like them either and fears that the charter trend will lead to public education for profit. The candidates – challengers and incumbents alike – pretty much mirrored the view of the school board, where only Doug Harris is an outright advocate for charter schools. Bounds is either remarkably prescient or keeps close tabs on what’s happening in Nashville because the next day after the forum, the House Education Committee – chaired by Knox County’s Harry Brooks – voted 8-7 to approve House Bill 1693, which “removes the present law prohibition against a public charter school contracting for the management or op-
eration of the charter school by a for-profit entity.” Brooks and fellow Republicans Bill Dunn and Roger Kane voted yes, and the bill moved on to the Calendar and Rules Committee (chaired by Dunn) to be scheduled for a floor vote. But the for-profit bill failed in the calendar committee after Speaker Beth Harwell showed up to oppose it. She said she feared it would hurt non-profit charters, and she doesn’t want Tennessee taxpayer dollars going to out-of-state companies. Brooks and Dunn both voted to approve it, but Harwell prevailed, 7-10-1. Dunn hopes the bill can be salvaged and said he would hold it in his committee rather than referring it back to the Education Committee. When asked why he supported a bill that his school board clearly doesn’t want, he said the bill is set up to allow local school boards to vote on charter applications “which would have the man-
agement arrangement in it.” So who’s got their ear? Maybe those 59 lobbyists being paid to push vouchers and charters? “These lobbyists and (education commissioner Kevin) Huffman’s people are crawling all over. I don’t think (Brooks, Kane and Dunn) are hearing it from their constituents,” said Democrat Gloria Johnson, a career teacher who couldn’t get a seat on the Education Committee. “There’s millions’ worth of outside special-interest money flowing into Tennessee elections to influence privatization policies,” she said. “A family with students in a public school whose funding is getting squeezed more and more has to wonder who is benefitting. We’ve got to stop taking orders from corporate lobbyists and start listening to educators and parents.” Or maybe legislators should just let the elected school boards manage the schools.
‘What’s that in my backyard?!’ West Knox County homeowners should pay attention to what happens at Thursday’s MPC meeting regarding rezoning in Northshore Town Center. The change would allow Flournoy Development of Columbus, Ga., to build 246 apartment units on 10 acres adjacent to a neighborhood of singlefamily homes. The Council of West Knox County Homeowners is certainly paying attention. At last week’s meeting, president Margot Kline encouraged members to contact MPC commissioners to ask them to vote “no” on amendments to the K nox v ille Margot Kline O n e -Ye a r Plan and the Southwest Sector Plan that would allow for high-density residential zoning. The progress of this development, as well as the
Wendy Smith
nearby Westland Cove development, should be monitored by those who live along the Pellissippi Parkway corridor. City Council’s apparent support of the Flournoy project, and County Commission’s rezoning in favor of Westland Cove, foretell a multi-story apartment complex in your backyard. Frank Slagle, who represents Northshore Landing at the homeowners council, reported on a meeting of individuals who oppose Westland Cove, John Huber’s proposed 312-unit complex on Emory Church Road. The meeting was rife with rumors about possible development on properties along Westland Drive and George Williams Road. “We have to fight these,
or they’re going to be everywhere,” he said. That may sound farfetched, but a perusal of annual Development Activity Reports on MPC’s website (www.knoxmpc.org) shows a rise in multi-dwelling residential units built in the county’s southwest sector since 2009. In each of the four years leading up to ’09, other county sectors saw more units built. In ’09, the only units added in the entire county were in the south sector. In ’10, ’11 and ’12, the southwest sector had more multi-dwelling residential units built than all other sectors combined. Data for 2013 is not yet available on the website. Obviously, Southwest Knox County has become a desirable place to build apartments. Residents like Becky Benson may suffer because of the trend. Her property is adjacent to the proposed Westland Cove development, so she is contemplating the view of a four-story
apartment building from her lakeside home. The development is currently in litigation, but even if it fails, she fears the rezoning of the property from Agricultural to Planned Residential could open the door for more apartment complexes in areas where single-family homes are currently the norm. “It sets a precedent for development at five units per acre,” she says. Huber’s plan consolidates allowable units from a 100-acre parcel. Jim Pryor, an appraiser with Dunn & Metz Appraisal Group, says that as long as apartments are lucrative for developers, they’ll continue to spring up. “If Westland Cove works, the likelihood is increased that others will try it.” The good news is that builders typically tailor their developments to the market, and the market can bear only so many apartment buildings, he says. Until then, keep an eye on your backyard.

Career Magnet Academy is huge gamble By Sandra Clark “You pays your money and you takes your chances.” Money is tight, but Knox County Schools is set to open a brand-new high school in August. Officials toured the construction site last Monday. We’re spending $3.75 million to retrofit the basement of the former Panasonic Building on Strawberry Plains Pike for classrooms and student labs. The Career Magnet Academy (CMA@PSCC) joins Pellissippi State Community College, which has offered classes in the building since 2012 and currently has 300 students enrolled. Doug Dillingham, supervisor of facilities and construction, said Knox County’s space will contain 13 classrooms, two science labs, media center, wellness center, teacher workrooms, guidance offices and a cafeteria. KCS will provide food services and security. The hook is dual credit for juniors and seniors – up to 33 college credits with no

Don Lawson, CTE supervisor, said projected enrollment is 125 freshmen the first year, adding 125 each year for a total of 500. “Forty percent of enrollees are girls and inquiries mirror the racial mix of the system,” said Indya Kincannon. Mike McMillan is cautiously optimistic. “We’re spending almost $4 million

“Your win-loss record starts today,” said the coach before the first practice in pads. Jones wants the Vols to work very fast, finish spring practice in high gear. It appears he is teaching tempo. It could also mean there is still more to do than available working hours. This time a year ago Tennessee football fans were excited about the new coach and the assumption that serious progress was coming soon. The forecast was for at least 7-5 and a small bowl game that Tennessee would obviously win. Some have conveniently forgotten that 7-5 was the consensus. I tabulated the optimistic outlooks and talked myself into believing enthusiasm was a satisfactory substitute for talent

and depth. I am old enough to know better. Well, you do remember how last season turned out. Tennessee won one game, against South Carolina, that was unexpected. It came close against Georgia. The Vols looked awful losing to a very ordinary Florida. Missouri’s second-team quarterback was considerably better than Tennessee’s No. 2. South Alabama caused acute indigestion, but winning ugly is significantly better than losing. I am still unable to explain how the Jaguars scored the final 17 points. The gut punch last season was the loss to Vanderbilt – the failure to gain one yard for a necessary first down and standing by as Commodores drove 92 yards in the closing minutes, 12 plays, clincher by Patton Robinette, Maryville High grad rejected by the home team. Oh my. Here we are a year later, getting excited about our upbeat coach’s second year. A major reconstruction job in the offensive and defensive fronts is ongoing. Butch will eventually identify a quarterback. After that, the honoree must be coached up to a competitive level. A spirited website, NationalChamps.net, offers a
preview of this fall. It has nine SEC teams in the top 25. It did not include Tennessee. There are fans who just can’t believe our team is still 10th or worse in the conference. How can this be with so many famous recruits? NationalChamps.net says this is its 13th season of uncanny accuracy. It does not provide a lot of original material but averages the opinions of Athlon, ESPN, USA Today, Fox Sports, CBS – all armed with highly paid people who should know. Predictions look much like the past: 1. Florida State; 2. Auburn; 3. ALABAMA; 4. Oregon; 5. OKLAHOMA; 6. Michigan State; 7. Stanford; 8. California-Los Angeles; 9. SOUTH CAROLINA; 10. Ohio State; 11.

Will this new school work? L&N STEM Academy made sense from its launch. L&N appeals to the kid who trades football and pep rallies for a tech-based curriculum in a unique historic building downtown with easy access to UT professors and labs. Students have enrolled from across Knox County, and this year’s waiting list is almost 200. CMA is a bigger risk. With windowless classrooms on the outskirts of nowhere, the school is closer to Jefferson or Sevier county residents than the population center of Knox County. The career magnet seeks the 8th-grader who can visualize post-high school work-life, not as a chemical engineer but as a homeland security or sustainability technician, whatever that even means. Anyone who has known (or been) an 8th-grader has cause to cringe. “You pays your money and you takes your chances.”

Music bonds Look at these rascals. There, down in the lefthand corner of the formal band photo. See those guys leaning? They got into a lot of trouble for that. You won’t recognize any faces in that photo. It’s from a distant land called Waynesville, N.C., and a faraway time known as 1973. Its members are now in their late 50s, though some of them haven’t made it past that. One of them, in particular, is on my mind. He made his exit recently. His name was Robert. In the photo, he’s the fourth male from the left, finessing the prank with just the slightest tilt. When he was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, he fought it into remission. He, his children and his wife of seven years – soul mates if ever I saw them – were just getting used to breathing easier. But last November the disease came back in another form, and this time it meant business. It took him down – savagely – in four months. With a remarkable, highly decorated Air Force career, he was possibly, said a colleague at his funeral, “the best attack pilot this country has ever produced.” His receiving line lasted five hours. Every intersection in town was blocked off for his

Carol’s Corner funeral cortege. He received full military honors at the gravesite, including a jet flyover that was one of the most astounding things I’ve ever experienced – “unraveling,” said a friend. One by one, each soldier saluted his coffin. It took a long time; there were a lot of them. They came from all over the country to honor him. They were his family. But during his final months, it was his old bandmates who took care of him. Some of them gave him a last party at home. In his prime, he was one of the finest big-band drummers on the planet. He could have made a career of it. So his pals had brought him a box drum – the kind you sit on and play with the flat of your palms – along with some instruments of their own. The jamming went on until he was too weak to continue. By all accounts, he had at least one night late in the game when he was happy, joyous and free. One of those guys stayed on 24-hour call for months.

Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! (Mark 11: 9-10 NRSV)
By Wendy Smith Central Baptist Church of Bearden recently hosted Tu Dia, or Your Day, an outreach to local Hispanic women. Held in conjunction with International Women’s Day, Tu Dia featured pampering, spiritual inspiration, crafts and education on health and family issues. Central Baptist member Joyce Wyatt, who served as a missionary in Spain, Chile and Colombia, began Tu Dia with Anna Garlington in 2012 to help Hispanic women feel at home in Knoxville. “We just want them to know they are welcome here and have a special day just for them,” says Wyatt. The event is also an opportunity for Central Baptist members to serve and interact with the Hispanic community. “It brings a better understanding of our common humanity,” she says.
And how we love a parade! In a frenzy of celebration we gladly focus on Jesus and generously throw our coats and palms in his path …. It’s between parades that we don’t do so well. From Sunday to Sunday we forget our hosannas. Between parades the stones will have to shout because we don’t. (“Between Parades,” Kneeling in Jerusalem, Ann Weems)

Awakening the ‘real’ women By Nancy Anderson
Angie Williams is a married mother of four and author of “Women at War: Defending our Minds and Marriages” and “Garments of Splendor” Bible studies. She’s been an international Christian motivational speaker specializing in women’s issues for 12 years and has been speaking specifically about authenticity for more than a year. Gathering to hear her last week were 240 participants in the Authenticity Women’s Conference at Grace Baptist Church. Helping organize the event was Grace’s family pastor, Bryan Robertson. “A woman who is confident in herself and in her faith in the Lord, who trusts and allows herself the vulnerability of
speaking her concerns is a sexy woman,” said Robertson. “That is an attractive woman, and I’m sure most men will agree with that.” Williams encouraged women to look at where they traditionally go to find a picture of the perfect woman. She told the guests that fashion magazines show an unobtainable image of the perfect woman; a woman she says doesn’t exist, but still does serious damage to women’s self-esteem. “Our worth and our value don’t come from the world,” she said. “It comes from Jesus Christ, Him and Him alone.” Even in what may seem to be a good trait, there is danger, said Williams. The surest way to damage “self” is to be a people pleaser,
she told the crowd, because “you just can’t please everyone. We don’t think about the many people we please. We fi xate on that one person who refuses to give us approval when we’ve already got the Lord’s approval.” Her message to women was to cast off the masks of fear, shame and guilt and be genuine and authentic with
Whenever I read Mark’s account of the crowd’s excitement when Jesus entered Jerusalem, I am transported back to the Via Dolorosa on a day late in March. The crowds thronged the streets that day, too, reminiscent of a similar crowd who pushed and hurried along almost 2,000 years before. I was a pilgrim, like those so long ago, but I wished for quiet and stillness in which to absorb the history that surrounded me, suffocating me. The crowd was loud and insistent, and I was swept along in the tide, forced to concentrate on maintaining balance and guarding my purse and my passport from pickpockets. Across the years, I have tried to understand Palm Sunday separate from Good Friday and Easter. It is difficult to do because we – these 20 centuries later – know “the rest of the story.” We can see the ending, and it is hard to really experience what we now call Holy Week one day at a time, without anticipating the happy ending. That is one reason I appreciate the churches that
Cross Currents
Lynn Pitts provide special services throughout the week. I know – from experience – the thought and hard work and preparation that goes into those services, and I am grateful to those creative and imaginative people who find ways to bring the old, old story to life again. I encourage you to worship this week. Find a service – every day, if possible – in which you can walk with Jesus through these days. Read Scripture. Be there, in your heart and mind. Imagine the scenes, picture the people, hear the sounds, feel the emotions. Listen to Jesus teach in the Temple. Go to dark Gethsemane. Struggle up the hill to Golgotha. Watch the darkness enshroud the world. Hear the dreadful silence. Shout your Hosannas! Proclaim your Alleluias! In between, however, live the story. It will be a blessing to you.

Emergency response drill at Farragut Primary Karen Dean Smith, Project Adam coordinator for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, stopped by Farragut Primary School last week for a practice drill with the school’s emergency response team and its new Automated External Defibrillator (AED). “By the end of 2014, every elementary school in Knox County should have an AED,” said Dean Smith. Project Adam was started by the parents and best friend of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old in Wisconsin who died suddenly in 1999 while playing basketball. The nonprofit’s goal is to have an AED in every school in the country to help prevent such tragedies. Every middle school and high school in Knox County has an AED. Primary and elementary schools are following with the help of ETCH. Dean Smith and FPS school nurse Connie Williams led about a dozen faculty members in the practice drill. The scenario: the parent of a student has been found unresponsive in the library. Response team members went into action, announcing an emergency over the intercom and rushing to the library to help. Some work crowd control, some take turns administering CPR and others fill in where needed. The goal is to do as much as possible to save the person’s life until medical personnel arrive. Each AED

Baldwin presents a story of survival By Bonny C. Millard Vietnam veteran Jeff Baldwin nearly lost his life serving as a point man in the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta, and he remains grateful to the people who worked heroically to save him that night. Given the extent of his injuries, Baldwin should have died. Baldwin visited the Rotary Club of Farragut recently and shared his story of survival and details of the treacherous landscape of Vietnam that included elephant grass eight-to-10 feet high, six-foot wide spider webs, cobras and large rats. At 19, he volunteered for the Army in 1966 and was the point man for his squad, which meant he traveled ahead, trying to flush out the enemy and looking for mines and other traps. Baldwin’s near call with death started as the sun was setting on May 1, 1967. He was scouting out a canal junction where he discovered a shrine and knew that the Viet Cong usually hid booby traps to maim or kill GIs who might wander in to collect souvenirs. After checking the shrine, he searched a footpath leading away and heard a horrendous explosion that tossed him on his
side, blinded him and left him unable to understand what was being said. His men carried him on a poncho, accidentally dropping it into the water. It took six men to lift him up into the medevac helicopter because the water made the poncho heavy. He remembers arriving at the field hospital, grateful that he had survived, remained conscious and endured the pain. However, he heard a doctor say, “Go get a chaplain,” meaning death was imminent. Baldwin remained blind for seven days and had casts on both his legs and arms, but he survived. Later, Baldwin traced the events of that night, learning there were 25 people who had a hand in saving him. They were male and female, of different races and ranged from high school dropouts to medical officers. Before answering questions from Rotary members, Baldwin posed one of his own. “What other country on the face of this earth is capable of pulling off a feat like that?” Rotary Club of Farragut meets at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club.

Putting a personal touch on Veronica G’s By Bonny C. Millard The owner of Veronica G Boutique laughs when customers call her store looking for Veronica. She’s not trying to pull a fast one on callers: Veronica is her name, but she goes by her middle name of Gail, hence the G. Gail Edwards opened her store in Turkey Creek, across the street from Zaxby’s, in February, but she had a prior location in Loudon under another name. The name change is part of the store’s evolution. Edwards explained that she bought Chic Boutique, a consignment shop, four years ago not long after moving to Loudon. She has 10 years in the consignment business and had owned a consignment shop in Georgia. For the last two years, Chic Boutique was retail. The decision to move to Knoxville was a natural progression of the changes Edwards has been making including the name change. “One of my employees suggested I name it after me,”

added bonus. “My customer base is 35 (years old) and up in this store,” she said. “So it really is all about comfort and easy care.” No dry cleaning here, unless something escapes her attention, she said. In addition to her merchandize, Edwards focuses on hiring people who are talented at creating outfits and helping customers accessorize. Edwards looks to offer more than just a bricksand-mortar experience. She is planning special events for the future, sends out a weekly newsletter and features an outfit of the day on the store’s Facebook page. This month, she is participating in the Knoxville Symphony League
fundraiser by sponsoring a “closet” that showcases numerous outfits at the Show House. Open for two months now, Edwards is excited about the possibilities while remembering those who have supported her in the past. “Our Loudon customers are following us over here,” she said. “We are very excited about the reception. We definitely know we’ve made the right move.” Although she enjoyed her time in consignment, this reinvented business touches Edwards on a personal note. “I was ready for a new challenge and that was why I decided to go to retail,” she said. “I wanted a new adventure, and I’m loving every minute.”

said Edwards. “That made this store more mine.” With the relocation, Edwards has been able to follow her own instincts in setting up the shop, decorating the premises and expanding the clothing lines. “This store has become more of the dream and the vision I had,” she said. “We were able to put more of my stamp on the store.” Edwards has definite ideas about the direction of her business, which has more than 25 brands of jewelry and clothing. She likes to buy Americanmade clothing, to support women-owned businesses and to purchase fair trade products. “We try not to let things get stale,” said Edwards, who added that they change the displays regularly and receive new shipments every week. Although she does carry some classic pieces, her moderately-priced clothing lines offer customers something different, usually with a lot of color, and have an

Coffee Break with
against going for a doctorate. She taught health and physical education for five years before becoming a counselor. Now, the young mind on which she has the biggest impact belongs to her granddaughter, who lives about a mile and a half from her. “She is the light of my life,” says Burrow. She will meet her goal of visiting all 50 states this summer when she and her husband travel through Wisconsin on their way to the international Lions Club convention in Toronto. But she’s happy to live here with the four seasons and Southern hospitality. “The notion of Southern hospitality lives for a reason,” she says. “It’s so true. People in the South are nice and thoughtful and accepting. When you go to the grocery store, you interact with the clerks, unlike in California.” As for really retiring, she’s in no hurry. “I’m just blessed to have my health and be able bodied. I look around and I see people struggling to move. I’m just so grateful that I have all my faculties. As long as I have all my physical and mental faculties, I hope I can be involved doing something that’s kind of meaningful.” Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Kathy Burrow.
Kathy Burrow
Kathy Burrow got to know East Tennessee when she came to study at Maryville College, so when she and her husband, Norvell, a native Virginian, were thinking about retiring and leaving California, it wasn’t a strain to decide where to go. “We moved here the day I retired,” says Burrow of their move nine years ago. “We love it.” Her “retirement” is something of a misnomer. She worked as a high school counselor for 22 years in Virginia and 15 years in California, and now she spends most of her time volunteering, primarily with the Farragut Lions and Turkey Creek Medical Center. She spent eight years volunteering in the medical center’s gift shop. “In the retail world, it’s great that Kathy Burrow you get to interact with the people,” says Burrow. “Most of the people who come in the gift shop are in the hospital for a reason. … They’re having tests done, or a loved one’s in the hospital. We’re right across from maternity, so a lot of them are waiting for babies.” Burrow can identify on a personal level. “I’m a breast cancer survivor – 11 years, thank you, God – and my surgeon in California was Dr. Aaron Margulies. Well, Dr. Aaron Margulies now works at Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center, and he operates at Turkey Creek. So when I was in the gift shop and people came in and their mother or their sister or their daughter or somebody was having surgery, I really did have a bond with those people and could reassure them. “They could look at me and see that my hair is back and I’m OK. I really do think that was a personal kind of outreach and support I could provide for those people, especially since we had the same surgeon.” Now, Burrow does clerical and “gopher” work for Angie Denton, who’s in charge of physicians’ outreach and marketing. She’s also president of the medical center’s auxiliary. She’s treasurer for the Farragut Lions; her husband is a board member and past president. They stay busy helping with the Lions’ sight programs, including volunteering with the Vision Van once a month, making eyeglasses. An Army brat who went to 17 schools before entering college, Burrow has a bachelor’s and a master’s but decided
Alas! I have my mother’s nose.
What is your passion? Volunteering. I am active in the Farragut Lions Club, at St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, and in the auxiliary at Turkey Creek Medical Center. I also volunteer at Maryville College.
With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. She has long been my “hero” – such a bright, forwardthinking woman.
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? My maternal grandmother, who took me traveling in the United States and in Europe, who loved me unquestioningly and who reminded me often, “Position in life is everything” when I flung my legs over the arm of the chair or sat in an unladylike way. It took a long time for me to get the double entendre.
I still can’t quite get the hang of … Riding a unicycle. I spent hours trying but just could not balance and ride!
What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? “Th-th-that’s all, folks!” Doesn’t that just sum it up?
What are you guilty of? Overscheduling, overcommitting. I want to use all 24 hours of every day!
What is your favorite material possession? My grandmother charm bracelet. My grandchildren’s names and dates of birth dangle there as a constant reminder of their special place in my life and in my heart.
What are you reading currently? I just finished reading Richard Rohr’s “Falling Upward,” about spirituality in the second half of life. I have just begun a light novel by Kate Jacobs, “Knit One.”
What was your most embarrassing moment? When I was 16, I got my first job. I reported to work the next day ... to the wrong place ... yet insisted to the ladies working there that I had been hired and worked a whole shift. When I got home, my REAL new boss had called and asked if I was coming to work. Oh, gosh! I never wanted to go back to that other store ever again!
What are the top three things on your bucket list?
What is the best present you ever received in a box? My first record player when I was 5 years old! I still have my 78 records from the “record of the month club.”
What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? Never, no never, leave this house with a pin in your straps! You never know when you might be in an accident.
What is your social media of choice? I use Facebook but am, frankly, tired of the cute pet postings. I love texting – quick, concise, efficient.
What is the worst job you have ever had? For one miserable day, I trained to be an inventory taker! Omigosh!!! My head ached and I was miserable! Thankfully, my principal called the next day and said they needed me to work all summer … and I did!
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? Tom and Jerry. What fun they had outsmarting one another and frolicking all over the house! I laughed and laughed.
What irritates you?
Seeing the tulips in bloom in Holland. Returning to Paris. Touring Wisconsin to complete my visit of all 50 states.
Parents who do not answer their children when the child repeatedly says, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy?”
What is one word others often use to describe you and why?
I am afraid of the dark. I have been all my life … and I thank my older sister for getting great delight out of scaring me when we were children.
Efficient ... I really can juggle a lot of balls at one time and get all of it done in pretty fair fashion. Honestly, I couldn’t do what I do if it were not for my husband, who is always right there to lend a hand.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My nose. I have always wanted a perky, cute nose.
What is your greatest fear?
If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Get up in the morning, throw a few things in a bag, grab my husband by the hand and go. I don’t care where, just go, go, go! It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Shopper News readers. Email suggestions to Betsy Pickle, betsypickle@yahoo.com.

NEWS FROM GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE
Grace Junior Kindergartners Madison Sproles, Claire Campbell, Aubrianna Tajen and Kristen Woolman with residents of The Willows Retirement Community in Karns.
Grace students invest in community By Julie Pointer and Wendy Doig Investing is putting money to use through a purchase or giving of one’s time or talent to accomplish a specific purpose. At Grace Christian Academy, our students are investing their time and resources in others. Teaching our students to actively invest in others is an essential component in fulfilling GCA’s mission to Lead, Build & Equip students. During this school year we have seen students investing in real and practical ways. One of GCA’s core values is service, and our goal is to help develop students who are intentional about the mission of Jesus Christ, which was to serve others. Our lower school students, through their homeroom classes, have all had the opportunity to experience what investing in our community looks like. Our youngest students in Junior Kindergarten are actively engaged in serving at The Willows Retirement Community in Karns. The students prepared crafts and songs that they shared with the residents when they visited them.
Kindergarten students adopted the Karns Volunteer Fire Department. They collected hygiene items as a gift for the firefighters who faithfully serve us. Students had the opportunity to visit the fire station, where they met the men and women who serve our community. The most important part of the visit was that the students prayed over the firefighters and their equipment. Fifth grade students and teachers have developed a partnership where they are able to work with the Lonsdale 5th grade teachers and students. Our 5th graders learned of a need the Lonsdale students had for luggage as both groups prepare for their Safety Patrol trip to Washington, D.C., at the end of May. Our students and families stepped up in a big way and provided more than 80 bags. They were able to personally deliver the bags to the 5th graders from Lonsdale when they came to GCA, spent the afternoon and enjoyed the performance of “Peter Pan.” Our students loved the time they had to spend with their peers from Lonsdale as they ate lunch and play some games before the production.
New playground at Grace By Julie Pointer Recess is the highlight of any student’s day. It is a time when students can take a break from all of the academic work they have been doing in the classroom. But learning does not stop during recess; it is instead a time when students practice taking turns and sharing, following rules for an organized game, learning how to negotiate what will be played among friends, and how to interact with others. Free play time is a valuable part of any student’s
day and we are excited to have a new playground where students have a safe environment to play. Our students and school have been blessed by the investment that our parents, family members, friends and community members have made through GCA’s Friends and Family campaign this year. We have already seen one of the planned projects become a reality with our lower school playground. In January, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held, and all
The 8th grade students at Grace Christian Academy found a way to invest in the future of GCA 2nd graders by providing writing support for every child one day a week. Every Wednesday, students share experiences writing together. Their time together makes a big difference to the writing progress for all children involved and is a big part of the “family feel” at Grace Christian Academy. One 2nd grader wrote in her buddy journal, “It was fun writing with you. I wonder what we will do next time. Whatever it is, I know it will be fun!” This experience leaves the children feeling positive and motivated because they have a positive role model investing in them and celebrating with them every accomplishment. It is often the case that student leaders in the high school are viewed by lower school stu-

Photo by Jeanna Scealf dents as an example to emulate. High school cheerleaders are no exception to this. In order to provide an opportunity to invest in the lives of our lower school girls, the high school cheerleaders hold two cheer camps each year. Throughout each camp they learn a routine which is performed at halftime of either a varsity football or basketball game. The value of this investment is clearly demonstrated through the excitement on the young girls’ faces as they head to camp and as they are performing. Several of our sports teams this year have taken a morning
and gotten up extra early to greet our lower and middle school students as they arrive at school. The younger students’ faces beam with radiant smiles as they receive a high five from a high school athlete. This mentoring relationship between our high school and lower school students is the type of investment we seek to foster. We all choose daily how we will invest our time and resources. Our desire at GCA is to be intentional at all levels to provide students opportunities to invest in the lives of others, whether within our own school or with the community.
There are four distinct areas where students can play: an open field area, swings, playground equipment and an asphalt basketball court. This entire space is fully utilized daily by the lower school students, and the return on investment for our students has already been realized through how many additional days our students can be outside enjoying the fresh air and having a safer place to run and play.

Lucas CPR device offers better chance for survival Sudden cardiac arrest claims a life every two minutes. Quick and correct action can very literally mean the difference between life and death. Most people are familiar with cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but you might not know that CPR has limits when it comes to its ability to save lives. The majority of people who suffer massive heart attacks outside a hospital have little chance for survival. The problem is that continuous coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) during CPR is one of the most important variables associated with the likelihood of getting and keeping a pulse. CPP is the pressure that keeps the blood f low going during cardiac arrest. While CPR is a great tool, continuous coronary perfusion pressure is hard to achieve with it. First, there’s the potential for fatigue. It’s hard for one person to perform chest compressions nonstop for a very long time. Second, even if someone steps in and takes turns, it can take 12 compressions to get the blood f low back to where it was when you took your hands off the patient’s chest. A third risk is simple human error. The American Heart Association recommends 100 compressions per minute, achieved by pressing down to a depth of 2 inches. It’s hard for a bystander – even a person who’s had a CPR class – to get it just right every time. That’s the purpose behind the Lucas CPR device that’s now available at Parkwest Medical Center’s emergency department. “It’s an automatic compression device that can be strapped to a patient’s chest,” explains Dr. Brian Braxton, MD, “to deliver uninterrupted compression.” “It’s one more piece of cutting edge technology I have to give my patients the best care possible,” adds Dr. William Folley, DO. Braxton first became acquainted with the Lucas device when he worked at a hospital in Houston, Texas. He was impressed by the way it helped increase the odds of survival for cardiac arrest patients. For Braxton, who is medical director of Parkwest’s emergency department, finding out it would be available to his patients here in Tennessee was great news. “I was excited,” he says, “because I had seen how it worked.” The Lucas CPR device is kept zipped up in a portable container that’s about twice the size of a bowling ball case. “It’s a heavy plastic mechanical device with a board that slides under the patient,” Braxton explains as he pulls the pieces out of the container and begins to assemble them. “A plunger is attached, and it controls the depth of
THE NEW CPR In 2010, the American Heart Association changed its recommended method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in most patients. 1. Perform chest presses before anything else. 2. For adult patients, press 2 inches deep 3. Press the chest at a rate of 100 times per minute.
“I would say it means greater hope for patients,” says Parkwest emergency department medical director Brian Braxton, MD, assembling the groundbreaking Lucas CPR device for a demonstration.

What’s flying Spring azure, mourning cloak, eastern comma, clouded sulphur. There are some really neat things out there announcing the arrival of spring, besides flowers and birds. Butterflies, for example.
Dr. Bob Collier
The above-named four critters are some of our earliest butterflies. In fact, some of them fly so early in the year that they show up while it is still winter! We often think of butterflies as the big flashy swallowtails and monarchs of summer fields and meadows rather than one of our first hopeful signs of spring. But here they are, often flying before even the first wildflower peeks out from under the leaves, and long before the first migrant bird finds its way back to East Tennessee. I’ve seen all four of the above-mentioned butterflies flitting around my yard at various times over the past three or four weeks. It continues to be a pleasant surprise to be grumping my way to the mailbox bundled up in my old warm coat and see a bright blue or yellow butterfly flapping merrily along as if to say, “What’s your problem, buddy?” Butterflies are fun, and a lot of birders are developing into butterfly enthusiasts, too. They are a nice addition to any birding outing.
For one thing, they are often out and about in the middle of the day, when the birding gets slow. And you’re out there with your binoculars in your hand anyway. Binoculars are a real help, bringing the butterflies up close while you remain far enough away to avoid spooking them (at least sometimes). There are about the same number of North American butterfly species as there are species of birds, and the butterflies can prove to be even more of a challenge to see well and to learn. The little spring azures, a little over half an inch long, may be one of our earliest signs of spring. Widespread and common across the United States, they begin to fly as early as February in our area. They are a nice pale blue above; light bluegray with little spots below. Their close relative, the eastern tailed blue, another little early blue butterfly, is similar to the azure but with little tails and orange spots on its hind wings. The mourning cloaks are beautiful and interesting. They are easy to recognize – larger and slower, with a rich brown color and sporting a clear yellow border along their trailing edge. These guys are among the longest-lived of all our butterflies, living as long as 10 months (many species live only a few weeks). The mourning cloaks hatch out in the summer

and are adult butterflies in the fall. Unusual for butterflies, they hibernate over the winter as adults and so are ready to fly again as soon as the temperatures approach the 60-degree mark, even if it is still winter. Eastern commas are a little harder – they are strong, fast fliers that often land on tree trunks. Above they are orange with a bunch of brown spots, but alighted with their wings folded to show only their undersides, their brown-patterned, irregularly shaped wings look exactly like a dead leaf. You’ve probably mistaken one for a leaf on more than one occasion. The comma and its nearly identical first cousin, the question mark, get their names from a tiny silver comma

or question mark on the underside of their back wings. One of our most widespread groups of butterflies, the sulphurs, have lots of species in their family, but the most likely ones around these parts beginning in March are the clouded sulphur and the cloudless sulphur. They are both yellow, medium-sized butterflies of field and meadow, and differ in slight amounts of color in their forewings. Their caterpillars like to eat clover and alfalfa, so as farming increases in a given area, so do the numbers of sulphurs. Male sulphurs are all yellow, but some of the females of these two species are yellow and some white. So, if
you see a yellow butterfly out in your field flying around courting a white butterfly, be reassured – they know what they’re doing; everything’s OK. Watching butterflies is like watching birds or stalking wildflowers – it can be an addictive pastime. For pure visual enjoyment, there are the different species of swallowtails and fritillaries. For making friends, there are the confiding and easy-to-observe buckeyes and hackberries. And if you want challenge and intense study, there are species like the dreaded skippers – dozens of species of skittish, fast-moving lookalikes that can send you to your field guide shaking your head. There are numerous good books to help you learn about our butterflies. Two that I have found to be very useful, out of many, are the “Stokes’ Butterfly Book” and Ken Kaufman’s “Field Guide to the Butterflies of Eastern North America.” Rejoice, spring is here! Enjoy the flowers and the birds. And check out the butterflies. Now is a good time to begin looking for
them, when there aren’t so many different ones out and about. Then, as the season comes along, you will already be familiar with a bunch of them. A word in regard to the birds: We here in Knoxville have a top-notch birding site in Sharp’s Ridge Park, a widely known spring migrant trap. Again this year, folks from the Knoxville Bird Club – properly known as the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society – will be doing spring bird walks up there. The walks will be on the last three Thursdays of April and the first Thursday of May. We start at 8 a.m. at the old ranger’s house about halfway down the drive; there is plenty of parking. There will be all skill levels of birders there. The experts especially welcome beginners and will try to show them good looks at the birds. All that’s required is a set of binoculars – they are necessary if you want to actually see what’s flying around up there. Join us for a pleasant hour or two!
