Northshore Elementary The school board must vote, but that’s a formality. Look for the new school previously known as the “southwest sector elementary school” to become Northshore Elementary. Principal Susan Davis and a committee of 13 unanimously recommended the name from more than 700 suggestions. “We decided a name that students, parents and the community can immediately identify with will help build culture and community for the school,” Davis said. Committee members were Davis; Susan Turner, elementary supervisor; Stephanie Settlemyre, Blue Grass; Lana Hsieh, Hardin Valley; Cindy Smith and Ruth Lindsey, A.L. Lotts; Carrie Sweet, Farragut Primary; Callie Painter, Farragut Intermediate; Jami Welden, Cedar Bluff; and parents Olga Marlar, Beth Duncan, Tonya Alsobrooks, Jason Hayes and Lisa Cole.
Area schools selected for technology grant Bearden High and West Valley Middle schools were among 11 selected to participate in Knox County Schools’ technology grant challenge. A total of 28 schools applied to have 1:1 technology (one iPad or tablet for each student and teacher). Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre announced the winners Friday, saying instructional technology in selected schools will give everyone a chance to see the initiative work “right in their own neighborhood.” The program will launch this fall. The application from West Valley Middle School said: “This opportunity meets students where they are and allows them to move forward at an individualized pace. It will create experiences that appeal to each student’s interests.” While Bearden’s read: “The future is now. Students must be able to find, understand, create and communicate information. Technology is a valuable tool to excite and energize the next generation of learners.” Others chosen are SouthDoyle High School; Vine and Holston middle schools; and Bonny Kate, Corryton, Halls, Mooreland Heights, Norwood and Sterchi elementary schools.

Dogwood Arts Festival By Betsy Pickle Being the featured trail for the Dogwood Arts Festival comes with a certain amount of pressure – especially concerning barometric pressure. “In 2007, when we were going to be the featured trail for the first time, it was kind of a mess because we had a freeze,” recalled Nancy Schmitz, chair of the Farragut Dogwood Trail committee. “Dogwoods froze, Japanese maples, everything. “The tour of Farragut was really kind of canceled because of the freeze. So it’s very exciting this year that the weather is going to cooperate.” With predictions of temperatures in the 70s and 60s this week, the forecast for the ribbon-cutting for the Farragut trail at 11 a.m. Wednesday looks promising (fingers crossed). The trail starts at the entrance to Fox Den subdivision and continues through Country Manor and Village Green. Everyone involved with the Dogwood Arts Festival keeps a close eye on the weather all year. The chilly temps through March that wore out their welcome with Knox County residents actually should make for more beautiful foliage along the 60 miles of dogwood trails. “A cold winter is better for the dogwoods,” said Jennifer Baxter, DAF project manager. “Last year we had a warm winter, and the dogwoods bloomed too early. We’re actually pretty excited about this year.” Schmitz and her committee have been busy encouraging the owners of all the homes on the trail to spruce up their yards for the future visitors. At press time, Schmitz was still worried about her property looking its best. “The daffodils are gone, the azaleas aren’t blooming, and the dogwoods have no leaves on them,” she said sadly. For the festival, Farragut has four open gardens or camera sites: the home of Mark and Lisa Caldwell, 11617 Georgetown Drive in Village Green; Champion Daylilies, 341 McFee Road; Campbell Sta-

The Grigsby Chapel Greenway is a featured walking trail. The Town of Farragut made an early start getting ready for this year’s dogwood season. “A couple of years ago, the town began looking into updating the landscaping at its four parks, and many of these landscaping improvements have been implemented in the past year and a half at Campbell Station, Mayor Bob Leonard and McFee parks,” said David Smoak, Town of Farragut administrator. “Specifically, the landscaping at Campbell Station Park had become overgrown and outdated, and some plants had been removed due to utility work associated with the Campbell Station Road expansion project. “The town worked with a professional landscape designer on the new design at Campbell Station Park, and, to add color for the upcoming Dogwood Arts Festival luncheon on April 10, we also installed

a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 13. Other landscaping upgrades will be on display during the third annual Farragut Art in the Park, Saturday-Sunday, April 20-21, which takes place at Anchor, Campbell Station, Mayor Bob Leonard and McFee parks; the Berkeley Park To page A-3
Duncan praises community schools By Wendy Smith The U.S. Secretary of Education came to town last week, and he said a lot of nice things about Tennessee’s education reform efforts. We’ve come a long way, he said, and he’d like to see us continue that growth.
Analysis Arne Duncan’s specific recommendations for the state included expanding high-quality early learning and reversing steep cuts to higher education. He also said he’d like for teacher salaries to be radically increased. These suggestions were met with applause from those who can imagine that such big ticket items will get funded anytime soon. Duncan also praised a more affordable initiative that Knox County has already embraced – commu-

nity schools. Community schools typically remain open long after the bell rings so students can get extra help in subjects like math and reading, participate in enrichment classes and eat dinner. Parents and other community members can enroll in GED or ESL class-
es, and some schools even offer health clinics, laundry facilities or help with taxes. Community schools, in essence, become community centers. Duncan served as Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools, and witnessed the profound impact of converting 150 Chicago schools to community schools. While academic enrichment for students was at the heart of the effort, parents flocked to the schools to take advantage of learning opportunities. “I promise you, where families are learning together, and schools truly become the heart of the neighborhood, those children will be very, very successful,” Duncan said. Pond Gap Elementary School’s University-Assisted Community School program is currently in its third year. It has served as a pilot
program for the county. Randy Boyd, founder of Radio Systems Corp. and special advisor for higher education to Gov. Bill Haslam, provided the bulk of funding for the Pond Gap program. After Duncan spoke, Boyd participated in a panel discussion where he reflected on increased parental involvement at Pond Gap. Among other things, the school now has a PTA. After some quick math, he estimated how much it would cost each Knox County resident to fund 15-20 more community schools – $14. The price is low because the concept relies heavily on nonprofits and volunteers. It’s an inexpensive solution to the conundrum of how to get parents physically into the school building. As Duncan said, parents of the most challenged students often failed academi-

cally themselves, and don’t have warm, fuzzy feelings about schools. It’s also a compassionate response to struggling families. Dr. Bob Kronick of UT’s College of Education, Health and Human Sciences has been working on the community school concept for 14 years. When asked to comment during the panel discussion, he said that students can’t learn if their basic needs – food, clothing and shelter – aren’t met. Community schools provide support to students and families that is lacking in these areas. Last year, Knox County Commission provided an additional $500,000 to expand the community school program into Lonsdale, Green and Norwood elementary schools. Check back next week to learn more about these programs.

We’ve planted 5,000 in the past four years throughout East Tennessee.” Info: www.dogwoodarts. com.

government Dunns plan Knox visit Attending the dedication of the Ann Baker Furrow Boulevard at Sorority Village on the UT campus (next to Neyland Drive) this coming Saturday, April 13, at 1 p.m. will be the person who appointed Furrow to the UT Board of Trustees. That is former Gov. Winfield Dunn, 85, and his wife, Betty Dunn, who are coming from Nashville where they now live. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek will preside at a UT-sponsored, invitation-only luncheon preceding the event. Furrow was the first woman to serve on the UT board. The public is invited and sorority houses will be open for viewing after the dedication. ■ Anthony Hancock, who unsuccessfully opposed state Rep. Steve Hall, has picked up a petition to oppose City Council member Duane Grieve (West Knoxville). What had been a sleepy election may become more interesting, but Hancock will have to wage a more active campaign this year than he did against Hall to be a serious contender. Picking up a petition does not mean he will actually qualify, but it does mean he is thinking about it. Several city precincts were in the House district he contested last fall. His loss to Hall was not close. ■ Duane Grieve is popular, well-liked and an independent voice on the council. He opposed Mayor Rogero’s pension reform plan as not going far enough to resolve fiscal issues. He is a strong advocate for greenways and additional trees. Rogero backed Democratic nominee Hancock over Hall with a financial donation last year. She is not expected to support Hancock over Grieve this time around and is appearing at an April 13 neighborhood meeting for Grieve. (This writer was a donor to Grieve in his 2009 campaign and he was a donor to all my mayoral campaigns.) ■ Alice Sellew, 91, longtime Farragut resident, recently died. She was a dedicated Republican who did the floral arrangements at countless Lincoln Day dinners and other GOP events for more than 20 years. ■ State Rep. Gloria Johnson has recommended Knoxville attorney Tammy Kaousias as predicted by this writer a few weeks ago to replace another attorney, Dennis Francis, on the Knox County Election Commission.
Victor Ashe
The other Democrat is Cassandra McGee Stuart, recommended by Rep. Joe Armstrong. This will mark the first time in Knox history that two women have served at the same time on the Election Commission. Kaousias, who is an avid political supporter of Johnson, is the first Greek American to serve on the Commission. Johnson criticized the Commission in her campaign for closing Belle Morris school as a voting precinct and holding its meetings at 8 a.m. It will be interesting to see if Kaousias and Stuart raise these issues during their 2-year term, although the GOP majority will likely vote down any requested change. Each commissioner is paid $4,017 a year and Chris Heagerty receives $998 a year more since he is the chair, for a total of $5,015. However, the most significant benefit these five persons receive is free participation in the county health insurance plan which is valued at $10,000 a year – double their salary. In effect the salary is $14,000 a year with the chair making $15,000. It is unclear why this part-time job merits tax paid health insurance. In 2012 the Commission met nine times and this year they have met once in March and plan an April meeting to swear in the members and rehire Cliff Rodgers as administrator. ■ Barbara Monty, 81, is retiring from the CACmanaged Mobile Meals program which delivers, primarily through volunteers, countless meals to the needy. She and her husband, Ken Monty, moved here 45 years ago and went to work for CAC. She became director of the Office on Aging in 1977, which today runs more than 20 programs with a $10.5 million budget. She will be honored from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at a reception at the Ross Building which is open to all her friends. She prefers any gifts be made to Mobile Meals. Monty has been a tireless and dedicated advocate for the less fortunate her entire life. She will be missed by many.

Driving Mr. Ramsey The tasty roast beef dinner the Union County Republicans served up in the high school for Lincoln Day didn’t lure the driver out of the big, black SUV that sat idling in the parking lot. Presumably, he was maintaining a controlled climate while awaiting the return of the Senate Speaker/Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and his ride-along guest, state Sen. Frank Niceley, whom Ramsey had picked up in Strawberry Plains, making for a 260-mile round trip from Ramsey’s home in Bluff City (in Sullivan County) to Maynardville. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security provides security to both the Senate and the House speakers. Ramsey’s driver, Bill Taliaferro, is paid $38.71 per hour, while House Speaker
ers are paid per diem rates for lodging and meals when overnighting away from home. Taliaferro figured prominently in a 2007 Memphis Flyer story by Jackson Baker about the changes that accompanied the overthrow of longtime Democratic Speaker John Wilder. “The old order was changing, all right – from Democratic to Republican and from west to east. The phenomenon had been underscored earlier in the week, on the night after Ramsey’s election, when Bill Taliaferro, the state trooper who had been Wilder’s plainclothes driver for well over a decade, sat down with Ramsey to discuss the matter of continuing in that role. “As Speaker (Jimmy) Naifeh would note in reporting on the matter to a couple
Betty Bean Beth Harwell’s driver makes $26.65 an hour. Both drivers are eligible for overtime and retirement benefits. Both speakers have 2011 Suburbans, but Nashville resident Harwell’s expenses are considerably less than Ramsey’s – $3,392 in gas and maintenance so far this year to Harwell’s $1,249 – because of his long commute. “The Lieutenant Governor and Speaker retain their responsibilities and title throughout the year and each is assigned security (state trooper) for protective services,” said Department of Safety spokesperson Kevin Crawford. The troop-
of his House colleagues, that probably meant that Taliaferro would have to shift his own residence eastward to accommodate the new Speaker’s needs.” Sure enough, an Internet search shows William E. Taliaferro with a Blountville address. The most common justification for such practices involves pointing out that it’s nothing new. But Republicans used to rail against Democrats’ profligate spending when they were running the show in Nashville, so more than a touch of irony sets in at the sight of members of the tough-talking, budget-slashing new majority happily settled into the practices that they once deplored. And the sight of state employees driving state vehicles to tote politicians like Mr. Speaker around the state to purely partisan events is almost as disconcerting as realizing that they don’t give a damn what we think.
Understanding the Nashville GOP The headliner at last week’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Union County was U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, but Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey stole the show. Ramsey exuded power and confidence, and he was home from Nashville with a message to tell.
Sandra Clark
“Frank and I are kindred spirits,” he said of state Sen. Frank Niceley. “Every time I sit by Frank I learn something. For instance, you either get it or you don’t get it. And if you have to ask, well, you don’t get it.” Ramsey talked about the Republican Party’s rise to power. From the state’s founding in 1796, Tennessee’s top three posts were not
held by Republicans until 2012 when Gov. Bill Haslam joined Ramsey and House Speaker Beth Harwell. For most of those 216 years, the Democratic Party controlled all three positions. In that context, it’s easy to see why the GOP is out to mess with the status quo. “You don’t want to elect Republicans and have them start acting like Democrats,” Ramsey said. Niceley, for instance, wants citizens to vote for the school superintendent but not for nominees for U.S. Senate. Ramsey said the Republicans have “cut the food tax (although he thinks far enough since it’s ‘a tax everyone pays’), cut the death tax and passed two balanced budgets, each less than the year before.” Republicans have eliminated collective bargaining in education, made tenure something to be “earned, not automatic” and are pushing for school choice. Ramsey said today

Clark “400,000 law-abiding citizens can carry and keep a firearm in a locked car.” He called for a reduction of unemployment benefits saying, “Unemployment has become a lifestyle.” After a couple of jabs at Obamacare, it was easy to see why Haslam opted not to
fight Ramsey on expanding Medicaid. Shut out of power for 200 years and believing things are headed in the wrong direction, Republicans in Nashville are not just braking the bus. They’re standing on the brakes and singing “Dixie.”

Vol spirit unites team members By Anne Hart No one would question that the UT Vols fielded a remarkable group of young men in the teams that played in the late 1960s under the direction of coach Doug Dickey. Their accomplishments on the field are legendary. But memories of great plays aren’t the only lasting thing from those days. Even more valued are the friendships that have held true all these years. Those friendships, as related by former Vol standouts of that time, Bill Young and Charlie Rosenfelder, were the topic at last week’s meeting of West Knox Rotary. In introducing the two, club member Steve Chancey, a former Vol himself, called the speakers “more than athletes. They are fine men who serve others.” Young, the team’s captain in 1969, is a graduate of South High who later coached at South, West and Bearden high schools. Rosenfelder was a UT All-

The two played against each other in high school sports, joined the UT team together and have remained friends ever since. They described a series of tragedies that has decimated the ranks of those 1960s team members and has resulted in bringing the remaining members even closer, including the formation of a support group for team members. One of the team members now being cared for is Richard Pickens, the
Volunteer fullback who spent his work career with Southern Railway in South Carolina and returned to Knoxville in retirement to be near friends. Pickens has suffered from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) for 12 years and is now in a wheelchair. He is closely cared for by his former teammates who remain in constant contact and take him to church on Sundays. “Our mission is to do whatever we can,” Rosenfelder said.
Ewart calls BBQ cookoff ‘a very big deal!’
barbecue is the best. Just talk to them. They’ll tell you.” Part of the excitement of the May event here will be the spirited competition among teams. “Some will roll in here with their fancy big rigs and their decorations. Oh, they’ll put on a show, but that doesn’t mean they’ll win!” Info: Oliver Smith, 5842000, or www.rockytopbbq. com/.
By Anne Hart George Ewart is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the finer points of barbecuing. And not just the cooking – his experience has Ewart also taught him the logistics of cooking outside on a massive scale, as in: thousands of people will be watching. Members of West Knox Rotary are listening intently. Ewart’s counsel is invaluable as club members finalize plans for what Gov. Bill Haslam has labeled the Tennessee State Barbecue Championship. West Knox Rotarians are hosting the event May 3-4. The Rocky Top hummin’ and strummin’ BBQ Cookoff has been sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. The purse is $10,000, and the winner will go to the Jack Daniels World Barbecue Cookoff in Lynchburg in November. Mark your calendars. This is one event you don’t want to miss. As Ewart puts it: “Knoxville has been waiting for this. We haven’t had anything like this since the World’s Fair. This is a very big deal.” Location will be the grounds of the Episcopal School of Knoxville, off Lovell Road. The event will open with food, live music and various activities on Friday evening and continue through Saturday with celebrities and events for the whole family, including contests, live bands, vendors and the all-important barbecue judging. More than 30 cooking teams from across the country have already registered, and event chair Oliver Smith IV anticipates participation from as many as 50 teams. Ewart, a local architect, is helping with the event. The owner of Dead End Barbecue on Sutherland Avenue, he started cooking for friends and neighbors in 2000 as a way of building community. The first year he cooked, 50 people attended. Last year there were 500. In 2004, he started traveling the country taking part in cooking competitions, and has won many awards.

It seems nothing is easy in today’s educational environment. With dual educational goals of protecting students and pushing ahead with meeting specific educational benchmarks, even volunteering to share knowledge comes with questions. Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill and engineer Joe Carson believe the area’s wealth of talent in the scientific, engineering and technology fields is an untapped resource for schools. They brought that belief to the members of the Farragut/Knox County Schools Joint Education Committee, which has been tossing around ways to connect those expert minds and students. So far the response from school administrators has been lukewarm. Farragut Intermediate School principal Kay Wellons and the school’s assistant principal, Debbie Adorante, took a step toward changing that at the April 2 education committee meeting. They expressed enthusiastic support for the idea for their school. Initially, the committee saw the idea as something for high school classes, but chair Mark Littleton said he rethought that premise and saw no reason why any grade level couldn’t benefit. Michael Singletary has been shepherding the idea of a speaker’s registry and had drafted a letter and

proposed survey. Questions arose as he was evaluating the process. “Some issues came up, and we probably need to slow down and evaluate some things,” Singletary said, adding it is important to answer those questions before sending out surveys. Among the concerns to be addressed before offering a list of names of experts to schools were: Who would supervise such a program? Who would screen volunteers? How do you evaluate if it is skilled instruction? Who decides what is appropriate for the class? What would teachers’ involvement be? Wellons had a specific example of how such a registry might have been used at Farragut Intermediate. The school recently received a $3,000 grant for a science project, but it had to be rolled out in a hurry. “If we had four or five names on a list, it would have worked for us to have had a couple of speakers,” she said. Wellons said pressure on teachers to complete specific educational requirements doesn’t leave a lot of oppor-
tunity to take advantage of speakers or extra projects during the regular school day. She and Adorante liked the idea of a Saturday school, because it is more flexible for students, teachers and volunteers. The committee is now focusing on a two-pronged approach: A speakers’ bureau – a shorter obligation for a volunteer; and a registry of volunteers who are willing to assist in a project that requires a longer commitment. Teachers would choose which fits their needs. Wellons said as long as schools invited the volunteers into the building, insurance issues would be covered by the schools, satisfying one of Singletary’s concerns. Russell Barber said starting small was the better way to go. “Even if you have a Saturday program, someone has to set it up and make sure students are safe.” Barber offered to be a guinea pig to see how the current screening process works and report back to the committee. “I have a Ph.D., but I don’t feel I’m an expert in anything, but I’ve been thinking about volunteering in the schools. Maybe it would be good for me to see what you have to do to be cleared.” Members will try to get some answers and revisit the subject at the next meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, at Town Hall.

Record audience for Peyton I predict record attendance for Tennessee’s football coaching clinic this weekend. For $40, high school coaches can get three square meals, a souvenir gift bag and a batch of helpful stuff to take home. They’ll be treated to a Butch Jones pep talk, presentations plus Q&A opportunities with UT assistant coaches and a few words of wisdom from some of their own, prep coaches with championship credentials. I predict the clinic highlight (I want to say this gently to not offend the host) will be the keynote address by Peyton Manning. The legendary quarterback, almost always busy studying opponents’ defenses and shooting commercials, doesn’t make this kind of appearance very often. He did it for Phillip Fulmer in 2002. That Jones could get him on his first try says something significant about the new coach establishing relations with former Tennessee players.
Marvin West
Manning, in the top level of old Volunteers and an astounding success in the NFL, has kept Tennessee football in his heart. Some of his money is in the almost lavish Peyton Manning dressing room under the north end of Neyland Stadium. Some more of his money funds Peyton Manning scholarships, $7,000 per year for four years, minimum eligibility 3.7 GPA. Macy Harrison from Frisco, Texas, and Chris Barnes from Hardin Valley Academy were 2012 recipients. The part I like best is Manning shows up to present the scholarships. This is for real. Manning did his fair share as a football Vol – 33 school records, eight Southeastern Conference records and two
NCAA records. He produced 11,020 yards and 89 touchdown passes. He ran for 12 scores. No kidding. He graduated early – with honors – and stayed for his senior season. Getting drafted No. 1 did not change him into an egotistical monster. Winning and millions may have added another degree of confidence and a second or two to his colorful checkoffs and animated adjustments at the line of scrimmage but that’s just show biz. In fact, from my distance, he appears to be much as he always was. As famous athletes go, Manning does it about as well as you could ask. He sometimes yells at receivers but picks up the check when they go out to dinner. He still puts in the hours to maintain his level of play. He loves life but lives with dignity. He is rich beyond reason but generous beyond belief. Peyton and wife Ashley established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 “to promote success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs

Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13: 1-2 NRSV) They aren’t strangers at all, but they do regularly qualify as angels. My friends John and Anne called unexpectedly today. Earlier, I had been talking to a colleague when my cell phone buzzed. I checked it and saw that it was Anne, and thought, “I will call her back later, after work.” Then things got busy, and
I was consumed by reports and trying to figure out where in the world check number 1240 had gotten to. (Bank accounts have been the bane of my existence recently, but that is a column for another day. Trust me when I tell you I am nothing if not stubborn when it comes to balancing my personal checkbook. However,
this was a business check, and I have to figure out its disappearance, sometime between now and soon!) My phone rang again, later in the afternoon, and it was Anne. She said, “We are about an hour and a half from Knoxville.” I had no idea they were anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
that provide leadership and growth opportunities.” Some in Knoxville have been recipients. He tried to do as much for Indianapolis as it did for him. Example: In 2007, St. Vincent Hospital renamed its child care segment “Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent.” Some kids want to go there even when they aren’t sick or hurt. I don’t have a scorecard but youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana, from whence he came, have received more than $4 million from PeyBack. Hundreds of needy families in Denver got free Thanksgiving dinners. Peyton’s NFL accomplishments are many – 12 Pro Bowls, four MVPs, six all-pro awards, the individual trophy from Super Bowl XLI. You might have missed the Whizzer White Humanitarian Award and the John Wooden Award from Athletes for a Better World. Manning has been named the most caring athlete. He has been honored as the Walter Payton man of the year. He received the Good Guy award from the SportThese are the friends who (22 years ago) helped us pack up our lives in New Jersey, preparatory to moving back to Tennessee. We had been here less than two weeks, striving mightily to renovate a neglected farmhouse, when they showed up, tools in hand, and helped clean and paint and actually unpack. That is no exaggeration! Anne unpacked the very boxes she had packed for me in New Jersey and put my kitchen together for me in Tennessee. Like I said: angels they are! I remember standing in the driveway at the end of

Two years after that summer, they spent a month with us exploring the American West: two vans filled to the brim with camping equipment, six kids ranging in age from five to 17, four adults, as well as various and assorted forms of entertainment for the teenagers who eventually were bored by mountains and scenic vistas. Since that time, we have managed a visit at least once
a year, sometimes twice. We have shared in family weddings, and have advised, encouraged and supported each other. We have listened, and cared, and sometimes disagreed. So here they were driving into town, and I was still at work, trying to find the errant check. But because it was John and Anne, I knew they would find their way to me, and we would have a great evening, and it would all be comfortable and easy, and we would pick up right where we left off. Because that is the way it is with “chosen family:” they are angels, and they are always welcome.

A different ministry Scotto practices a call to hospitality By Ashley Baker The art of hospitality may not come easily for a lot of people, but for Kim Scotto, hospitality is not only a joy but a ministry she feels called to. Scotto is changing her corner of the world one day at a time by opening up her home to her neighbors in the Crestline subdivision for Bible studies, play-dates, coffees and dinners. For Scotto, practicing Christian hospitality isn’t about glamorous table settings with picture-perfect food. It is about fellowship, servanthood and sharing the love of Jesus. She says it is about loving others, because Christ first loved her. “I’m not a little Martha Stewart,” Scotto said. “That isn’t me. I don’t have all of the stuff, and I’m just lucky if I can get the food on the table. But you don’t have to have all of that. It isn’t all about the food; it is about the fellowship.” Every other Tuesday night, Scotto’s living room fills up with women for a neighborhood Bible study. Scotto serves coffee, leads discussion and ends the night in prayer. “She does a really good job at making you feel like a part of the family,” said Bible study attendee Beth Speed. Her husband, Lao, supports his wife’s mission with her neighbors by watching their two children for the eve-
ning and getting them ready for bed. Scotto says she sees God’s hand in offering Christian fellowship to her neighbors. “Hospitality creates a need for God to work,” she said. “We have made friends, and God is working.” In addition to hosting Bible studies, Scotto organizes events such as Easter egg hunts, neighborhood barbecues and S’more nights that bring neighbors together. “It is God,” she said about her ability to open her heart and home in such a welcoming way. “I am trying to be obedient to the Bible’s command to be hospitable. When you do obey, there is blessing in it. This isn’t a big chore.” At a recent small group study, Scotto took a spiritual gifts test. “I scored perfectly in hospitality,” Scotto said with a laugh. “And what is fun is that when you use your gift, you actually like it.” But Scotto said she hasn’t always seen opportunity to serve God by being hospitable. “In our first house, we were nothing like this,” Scotto said. “We would go in our house and close our garage.” It wasn’t until Scotto met a friendly neighbor that she realized that her neighborhood could be a place of ministry and friendship. “Pam lived across the street,” Scotto recalled. “She was like the neighborhood mascot. Everybody knew her, and she knew everybody. She
Crestline neighbors gather for an Easter egg hunt and barbecue on Lao and Kim Scotto’s lawn. Photo by Ashley Baker is the one who started it.” Her neighbor had such an impact that Scotto’s outlook on her neighborhood changed. Inspired by friendliness paired with a Biblical call to be hospitable, Scotto began to meet new neighbors. When Pam moved out of the neighborhood, Scotto was the one bringing over plates
of cookies to welcome new neighbors. Scotto’s Crestline neighbors said that her practice of the gift of Christian hospitality benefits and enriches their lives. By serving friends, family and neighbors, Scotto is building community through hospitality, an act that also blesses her own life.

Photo by Betty Bean activity for which the students receive no extra credit and the sponsors receive no extra pay. So what is it that keeps Jill Hudson and Jane Skinner volunteering to work 30-40 additional hours per week while keeping up with their day jobs? They both grin. Hudson: “It’s not the money.” Skinner: “I guess if it were easy, we wouldn’t keep coming back. We wouldn’t be challenged.” Hudson: “If it were easy, everybody would do it.” Skinner: “And they just don’t know how much fun we’re having.” Hudson, who is from the Nashville area, teaches technology and engineering in Farragut’s Career and Technical Education department. Skinner, who is from Indiana, teaches science and is the lab and technology coordinator for Farragut’s science department. Back in 2009, Hudson had been looking at a variety of robotics programs and was feeling overwhelmed. “I decided there was no way one person could do it,” she said.

They’ll have a robotics camp for rising 7th through 9th graders in June, a pancake breakfast in October and a Boy Scouts merit badge event in November. Skinner described the competition’s atmosphere as “gracious professionalism,” and said there’s a new word to describe the atmosphere – “cooperation” “It’s not cutthroat – it’s not us against them. It’s how can we help them,” Hudson said. “In the first game, there’s no competition at all; just running around asking other teams, “How can I help you?” In later rounds, teams will be chosen for alliances, but in the early rounds, nobody knows who their competitors will be. Halls, Hardin Valley and Oak Ridge’s alliance took first place at the Smoky Mountain Regionals on March 28-30. “It’s so much better when everybody works together,” Hudson said. “That’s one of the things we like about this and is something our mentors notice.” It all adds up to a new and unique learning experience. “Everybody works together and we all get better. It’s competitive, but you’re raising the bar for everyone.” “It’s not winner takes all,” Hudson said. “And ‘winner’ is a very vague word. You can have a great robot and not go to the finals. We win every year. We may not always bring home trophies, but we win every year. You’re not going to see a sign on the road that says ‘Home of 2013 Regional Robotics Champions,’ but we win through so many other routes. A lot of people call it the hardest fun you’ll ever have.” “That’s the big hook,” Skinner said. “They like learning and so do we. We’re lifelong learners.”

Standard is 14-inches; chair height is 16 to 17-inches and ADA compliant. There’s even a 10-inch model perfect for potty training. Round, compact elongated or elongated … oh my! Small powder rooms may only have space for a round or compact model that extends about 27 ½-inches. Elongated are the most popular extending 29 ½-inches. The EPA WaterSense folks say older toilets use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush (gpf). Geez! That’s a lot! The government says the max flush can’t be more than 1.6 gpf. A WaterSense labeled toilet uses 1.28 gpf and can save a family of four more than $90 a year on their water bill. There’s also a dual flusher with a partial and full flush that uses as little as 1.0 gpf. Other stuff that divas typically don’t care about … The flush valve is inside the tank. A large opening allows the water to pass through faster for a quick flush. Valve sizes are 2-inch, 3-inch or the mack-daddy, 4-inch. Next, the toilet outlet is the gateway to the sewer and bigger is better. Sizes include: 2-inch, 2 1/8-inch and 2 3/8-inch.

Raising the standard of living for people almost half a world away is being made possible by one of the companies with whom Knoxville’s Modern Supply works to provide consistently high-quality products to its customers. American Standard, a leading manufacturer of a wide range of building products, including faucets, fixtures, vitreous china fixtures and other wellness items for both kitchen and bath, recently turned its attention to Bangladesh and to the lack of adequate toilet facilities in much of the country. It is a region of the world where water is scarce and sewer infrastructure doesn’t exist. Open pit latrines allow disease to spread through direct and indirect contact with human waste. Observing the situation, engineers noted that even though residents using the pits dump water on the waste, flying insects still carry disease to the outside. As a result, engineers from American Standard developed SaTo (derived from “Safe Toilet”), a cost-effective and hygienic latrine pan that uses an ingeniously simple mechanical seal and water seal to reduce disease transmission by closing off pit latrines to the open air.
American Standard teams also visited manufacturing facilities to assess existing capabilities and cost structures in order to develop a solution that could be economically mass produced in Southeast Asia. To encourage growth of the program, for every American Standard manufactured-Champion toilet sold in the U. S. this year, American

Highlighting the little guys: Corks to focus on small wineries
If you have ever celebrated the difference between a truly home-grown tomato straight out of a neighbor’s garden and a grocery store tomato, Ryan McElveen has a wine for you.
in a tomato from a neighborhood garden and one from a large grocery store to the difference in wines from small wineries and ones from large, better-known ones. A focus for his new store, which will have a soft opening later this week, will be introducing Farragut wine lovers to wines Sherri from these smaller, less familGardner iar wineries. “A tomato from that small Howell vegetable garden tastes better than one you get at the grocery store,” McElveen McElveen, owner of Corks says. “The grower has proWine and Spirits in Turkey duced it on a smaller scale, Creek, relates the difference has given it focused attention
and taken care of it on a very good, almost intimate level. His or her attention to quality has been paramount, and it shows in the final product.” Much the same can be said for some of the smaller wineries both in this country and around the world, says McElveen. “They may not have the advertising budget or the volume to compete with the big producers, but they have some very good wines. They are harder to find, but we will do that for our customers and be able to offer some new and very pleasing options.”

Wine from smaller wineries doesn’t mean a higherpriced bottle, says McElveen. “Many times, they don’t have the name and the reputation, so they can’t command the higher prices per bottle. There are some excellent bargains in some very good wines to be found in these small wineries.” McElveen will open with a staff that has the first-time retailer bursting with pride. He is a certified sommelier by training, has worked for the wholesale side of the wine and liquor business and for a winery in California. He has been in Farragut for 10 years. His two assistant managers include a certified wine educator and a certified specialist of wine. Assistant manager Ryan Mehart has ten years’ experience as a wine expert and has worked for a wine maker in South Africa. Assistant manager Kenny Go, a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, spent six years in Italy learning the wine industry and is currently a Level 2 wine master. “Kenny is probably a year to two years away from completing his Master of Wine diploma, which is the highest certification in the industry,” says McElveen. Not resting on a “trust us” philosophy when it comes to choosing wines, McElveen will offer in-store wine tast-
Circle of giving stretches Rotary dollars By Sherri Gardner Howell Eradicator Sometimes a circle is not vicious. Sometimes it is victorious. At the monthly businessfocused meeting on April 3, Rotary Club of Farragut president Bruce Williamson took a few minutes to remind members that dollars given to the Rotary Foundation come back home to help the local clubs. Local clubs can take advantage of several ways to benefit from money donated to the Rotary Foundation, Williamson said. In 2012, the Farragut club completed a multi-year joint project in Turkey that invested almost $300,000 in breast cancer awareness. District grants open the door for projects closer to home, he said. “We are working on a grant application right now with the Turkey Creek club and Bridge Refugee Services to help legal refugees with driver’s education and purchasing approved child restraint seats,” Williamson said. “The District Simplified grants bring money donated to the foundation back home to help with local club projects.” District grants can be used for humanitarian projects, scholarships and vocational training. Williamson recently picked up awards for the club at the multi-district conference. The club was honored with the Presidential Citation With Distinction, District Governor’s Citation With Distinction, Globe Club, Star Club,
Club (polio), Reach for Rotary Award for attaining at least a 2 percent growth in membership, Best Fund Raising Project with a first place for the Adult Spelling Bee, Rotaract Club Citation for sponsorship of the Farragut High School club and Best Electronic Newsletter with a third place. In keeping with the focus on giving, Foundation chair Leah Berry presented local member Farrell Levy with his third Sapphire Pin for his contributions to the Rotary Foundation as a Paul Harris Fellow.
Also discussed at the meeting was an opportunity for a member to attend the “handing off” ceremony in Ethiopia for the completion of a joint project with the Gondar club to drill for water in the region. “It is a good opportunity to see your Rotary dollars in action,” Williamson said. The club was part of a group of clubs that contributed to the project. Rotary Club of Farragut meets at noon on Wednesdays at Fox Den Country Club.

ings to introduce customers to new wines from traditional, big-name wineries as well as the smaller wineries. He also has designed his store to fit his philosophy. “I think people will see the difference immediately when they walk through the door,” says McElveen. “We have more of the feel of a fine wine shop than a traditional liquor store.” The approximately 5,000 square-foot store features custom chandeliers and woodwork, including millwork from reclaimed barn wood from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. McElveen plans a grand opening later, after his soft opening this week. “Everything is coming together, but it’s busy and furious,” he says with a laugh. “We hope to have a soft opening on Wednesday or Thursday.” The store is located at 11668 Parkside Drive, next to Publix in Turkey Creek. ■ If you love your Krispy Kreme doughnuts, rise and shine early on Tuesday, April 9.

Coffee Break with
What are you guilty of? I am in love with my DVR! I record all my shows and get to enjoy them in peace and quiet after the kids go to bed.
What is your favorite material possession? A doll my Grandmother gave me a year ago. It was given to her by her grandfather over 85 years ago.
Allison Myers
Allison Myers is a porch sitter. She just doesn’t get to do it very often. To see a bit of a contradiction in this busy, working mother of two won’t surprise those who know her best. Recorder and treasurer for the town of Farragut, Allison and her husband, Noah, balance their dual-career lives, a home life, a social life that includes not only friends but town functions and the lives of their two active children. So when there is a moment to do whatever she wants, she prefers to go to the porch of their home and just sit. “We have a great view of the sunsets,” Allison says. Born and raised just over the county line in Dixie Lee Junction, Allison jokes that the only place she has ever lived besides Farragut is the University of Tennessee. “That’s the extent of my roaming,” she says. “Here and UT.” Thinking she wanted a career in finance, Allison started out as an accounting major, but switched to marketing. “There was one accounting course that just tripped me up,” she said. “I couldn’t pass it, and I wanted to finish school, so I switched majors!” She worked at Ace Hardware through college, which is where she met her future husband, Noah. From Oklahoma, Noah and his brother, Knick, had come to Farragut to open an Ace Hardware store. Noah and Allison married in 2000 and have two children: Luke is 9, and Kate is 6. Allison started her career with the town of Farragut in 1994. “The people here are what make this job so much fun,” she said. “We are like family, and everyone has a heart for doing what is best for this area.” Working for the town sometimes give her a different perspective from friends and acquaintances who have a complaint about a road or sign or something in the town’s area of responsibility. “Most of the time, they don’t understand the process. There are ways of doing things that are designed to look out for the good of the entire community.” On snowy days, when Allison might prefer to bundle up and porch sit, she can’t claim her roads are blocked. “We live on Concord Road, just a stone’s throw from Town Hall,” she says. “On snow days, I walk up to the road, and someone with the road crew picks me up and brings me to work. They are out working the streets anyway, so there are no snow days for me!” Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Allison Myers:
What are you reading currently? Lots of children’s books. My daughter is learning to read!
What was your most embarrassing moment? A few years ago, my husband and I spent New Year’s with his older brother in Pensacola, Fla. I had made a beautiful scrapbook that included this particular trip. I was proudly showing it to our family over the holidays when my very detail-oriented husband points out that I had spelled Pensacola wrong. Of course I argued with him until I looked at it. Not only had I misspelled it, but done it in a very embarrassing way: P-e-n-i-s-c-o-l-a. Yes, you read that right. The family still teases me about it.
What are the top three things on your bucket list? I really only have two: Go to the beach for a month and take an Alaskan cruise.
What is one word others often use to describe you and why? Comforting. There is nothing I love better than snuggling up with my family to watch television or a movie. I seem to be the one that family and friends turn to when they’ve had a hard day or just need to talk. My daughter says that’s my gift from God.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? To acquire the desire that makes me enjoy working out. I am participating in a 5K training program at Fleet Feet. My target race is in May, so I have been pushed out of my comfort zone. My son tells me I’m slow. I have to remind him that I’m not 9 years old anymore.
What is your passion? My husband and children. Sometimes it seems that we didn’t have a life until our children came along. Now our days are spent attending practices/games, doing homework and watching the sunsets together.
With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? My Grandfather Frank. I was 3 when he passed away. I am blessed to have known my other grandparents. I often wonder what qualities of his were passed to my children.
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? My grandparents. They have been a great example of love and faith. My children describe their great-grandparents as being almost as perfect as Jesus! Love it.
I still can’t quite get the hang of … The point in playing video games.
What is the best present you ever received in a box? A pearl necklace. My husband and I were heading to the Parade of Homes when I was “very” pregnant with our first child. I was sitting on the closet floor looking at the last shirt that fit. I was upset, and he could tell. A few minutes later, he came in with a box that contained a pearl necklace! He said I needed it more now than I would after our son was born. So off we went to tour the homes with my red T-shirt and a new necklace.
What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? Always give 110 percent. Both she and my dad would say that even if you’re not the best at something, if you give 110 percent, no one will really notice.
What is your social media of choice? Email. That’s the best way I can keep in contact with my husband. He is always asking me to email him family appointments or things he needs to do. I finally created a family calendar on his phone so it will remind him!
What is the worst job you have ever had? Working at a clothing store. My job was to hang and fold all of the clothes left in the dressing rooms. To this day, I never leave anything in the dressing room.
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? I really don’t remember a favorite cartoon, but I did have a couple of favorite movies. They were “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “Sound of Music.” They were my favorite mostly because I would watch them with my grandmother when we would visit.
What irritates you? When people can’t make decisions on their own. Ask anyone who knows me: I am very strong willed and confident, so I don’t always understand when others don’t have the confidence to make decisions on their own.
What’s one place in Farragut everyone should visit? The Dixie Lee Farmers Market. I love it because we can get a few things we don’t grow in our garden, and my children get to have breakfast with their cousins and a few friends.
What is your greatest fear? My car going off a bridge and being trapped inside. I usually roll down my window when we cross a bridge, just in case.
If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Move to the beach. Every time we leave the beach, I cry and tell the family that I want to live at the beach. Then my daughter pipes in to say that if we lived there, it wouldn’t be special anymore. She is probably right! – Sherri Gardner Howell

Emory Place and Central Market HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin My fond memories of attending Sunday school at First Christian Church on the periphery of Emory Place include that interval between Sunday school and the church service, when William G. Fox (18611936) reached in his suit coat pocket, retrieved a stick of Walla Walla chewing gum and delivered a tasty treat to each of the children lined up before him. Fox was a senior elder of the church and treasurer of the building campaign. But through the week he was treasurer of the Walla Walla Chewing Gum Company. The company was the anchor business in the Central Market, later to be called Emory Place. According to the American Journal of Commerce (1903), W.D. Biddle established the firm on March 2, 1897, in small quarters with only five employees. Surely even William Wrigley, Chicago’s chewing gum king, would have been proud of the growth of the company, which at its height had 40-50 employees producing 1,200 sticks of chewing gum each minute, some two tons each day. Until 1915, Walla Walla occupied Nos. 8 and 10 Central Market, with each 25x100-foot building consisting of four floors, equipped with steam power and up-to-date machinery. Walla Walla became the largest company of its kind in the South, and its product was marketed in 42 states by eight traveling salespeople. The company moved to 511-14 State St. and in 1950, prominent former UT athlete and business owner Herman

D. “Breezy” Wynn bought the company, planning to expand it to 60 employees. Central Market first appears in the 1889 city directory, when there were 33 stalls housed in a frame structure on a wide spur of Fourth Avenue, with the City Scales on the west end and Fire Engine House No. 1 in a brick building on the east end. Old Gray Cemetery, founded in 1850, was just across Broadway from the market on the southwest corner of Holston Street (now Tyson). The downtown terminal for the Fountain Head Railway Company (“The Dummy Line”) was located on the northwest corner of that street. Early tenants in the Central Market included Thomas Owens’ fish market, Jacob Croissant’s meat market and Austin Plummer’s produce company.
Others like the Knox Candy Company would come and go, with Ebenezer Kelley and Strother Lynn, Grocers, lasting for several years. The original Market House, located a mile away on Market Square, had been built in 1854 and expanded in 1897. Perhaps that expansion was the impetus for Central Market’s transition about the turn of the last century from small markets to larger factory-like businesses and more substantial brick buildings. When “Market” no longer described its mission, the powers that be sought another name. The New Market Train Wreck of Sept. 24, 1904, was on everyone’s mind. Two Southern Railway passenger trains traveling at high speeds had collided headon in the worst transportation disaster in area history. It was first announced that there were 56 killed and 106 injured but the toll grew as some of the injured died and as more facts emerged. Perhaps the best-known casualty was 74-year old the Rev. Isaac Emory who, after funeral services at Second Presbyterian Church, was interred in Old Gray Cemetery with a footstone reading “The Children’s Friend.” Born in 1830, the Rev. Emory, a native of Fulton, N.Y., graduated from Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati and became a missionary for the American Sunday School Union. He arrived in Knoxville in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Knoxville had a popu-

At its height the company had 40-50 employees, produced 1,200 sticks of chewing gum each minute – two tons each day – and was marketed in 42 states. lation of 7,000 at the time and only a few of its churches had Sunday schools. The Rev. Emory soon succeeded in establishing 26 of them locally, from which several churches grew. Traveling by buggy, train and steamboat, he canvassed Chattanooga and Nashville, and established many more. But, over the years, his major progress was in “backwoods” areas where he started Sunday schools in which the membership eventually totaled more than 50,000. Along the way he influenced many to enter the ministry and a short while before the tragedy was elected moderator of the Knoxville Presbytery. After his death, the name change just seemed a logical choice and the Central Market became Emory Place. The Rev. Emory’s farm was in the Arlington community of north Knoxville. His son, Charles M. Emory, established Arlington Gardens there after his father’s death. He sold vegetable plants grown in beds or in
Wholesale Mulch Yard
some of the first hothouses in Knoxville. When the demand for houses in the suburbs grew in 1924 to 1926, Emory developed the upscale neighborhood and named its two boulevards Fairmont and Emoriland, again honoring his father. The 1903 Sanborn’s Fire Map shows the Whittle-Spence Trunk and Bag Company, with R.D. Whittle as president, occupying a large building in the elbow-shaped center of Emory Place. R.D. was the younger brother of James M. Whittle, who established Whittle Springs Hotel. Walla Walla Chewing Gum Co. occupied lots 8 and 10, but there were few other occupants. In 1910 St. John’s Lutheran Church acquired two lots at the southwest entrance to Emory Place and completed their historic sanctuary in 1913. Its changed character from a market with stalls to free-standing buildings was shown on the 1917 Sanborn’s Fire Map. The church, the Crescent Steam Laundry and the
O.J. Smith Cabinet Co. were on the right side. On the left were the Hinton Laundry and Dry Cleaning Co., the U.S. Post Office and the Walla Walla Chewing Gum Company. Emory Place has experienced a renaissance thanks to the efforts of architect and city council member L. Duane Grieve. He purchased Nos. 8, 10 and 12 Emory Place in 1982, gutted the buildings, replaced the wiring and plumbing, installed sprinklers and updated the historic façade. Commendably, only after that considerable expense did he apply for and win a federal block grant that transformed a surface parking lot into an attractive pocket park and enhanced all the properties in Emory Place, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Nov. 10, 1994.

NEWS FROM PAIDEIA ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE
Paideia Academy’s halls host fundraisers Nicene Hall March Madness Mark Baker receives a pass while Ken Tanner and Bruce Hairston press in.
Paideia Academy parents and teachers, outfitted in gray and gold jerseys, warmed up on the basketball court in the Cedar Springs church gymnasium last Friday night. They were hoping to make good passes, hit crucial free throws and shots and, most importantly, raise money for Paideia Academy’s Nicene Hall. The stands were packed with students, parents and faculty ready to cheer on their favorite teams, and the line for concessions stayed busy most of the night. Before and after the players took the court, students had some free play shooting on the goals. Parents and teachers from Nicene and Apostles Halls faced off in a lively basketball game. The game was close and had lots of stars making big plays. Team Nicene started off strong and led the first half. Jim Norris and Greg Kenny were top scorers for the gray, with Hall Dean Ryan Garner putting up a few baskets. Kenny
was taken out with a torn Achilles tendon just before the half, giving the rest of the game up to Team Apostles. Ken Franse came away with 16 points for the gold, hitting a couple of three-pointers in the second half. Chris Meystrik took several good rebounds for Team Apostles, shutting down Nicene for a 30-22 win. Halftime was full of action with the moment that had been the teaser for the whole event: seeing math teacher Jonathan Kenigson dunk the ball. He competed against the two hall deans, Garner and Mark Baker, in a dunk contest. They were helped along a bit with lowered goals. Garner’s fancy spin moves earned him the win. Students also participated in various halftime free throw contests. Quint Badgett and Bryson McClurkin were the three-point challenge winners for cash prizes, and several others won free hotdogs with half-court shots.
Scott Campen (right) goes for a layup through a block by Chris Meystrik. “This highly anticipated event really delivered. I’m sure that Nicene Hall will be hoping to take back the trophy at next year’s game. Either way, our students are the real winners,” said James Cowart, Paideia Academy headmaster.
Playground completed First grader Cameron Kim accepts the award for Best Overall Performance for her violin solo from Apostles Hall Dean Mark Baker.
Apostles Hall Talent Show Apostles Hall held their Talent Show fundraiser earlier in the year. Students auditioned for 16 spots in the show. Judges were teachers Ryan Garner and Jonathan Kenigson, and piano teacher Joy Cowart. “Mrs. Cowart is the expert on the panel,” said Garner. “We’re just the color commentators.” Apostles Hall Dean Mark Baker emceed the event. Students brought pillows, bean bags and camp chairs to line the floor of the lunchroom in front of the stage. Parents filled in behind for a full house. The atmosphere was one of genuine support for the performers.
Entertainers from 1st through 9th grades took to the stage, primarily presenting musical solos and duets. All of the acts were of age-appropriate quality and well-rehearsed, although everyone seemed to agree on the specialness of the winners’ pieces. First grader Cameron Kim was the overall winner with her violin solo “Gavotte” by F.J. Gossec. Sixth graders Ellie Platillero and Kensi Gray took Best Vocals with their duet. Sixth grader Andrew Campen was awarded Most Creative with the only non-musical performance: his gymnastics routine on a pommel horse. Third grader Nathan Thompson received
Paideia Academy’s new playground is complete and open for play. “We are grateful to all of our Playground Partners who donated nearly $80,000 over the past few months to provide this exciting addition to our campus,” said Steve Bethel, Development Director. Throughout the first day after its completed installation, students took turns writing prayers and posting them on the play structure to be collected and prayed over by other classes. This day of dedication concluded with the School of Rhetoric students and staff gathering for prayer and song.
the People’s Choice Award for his entertaining harmonica piece, and 9th graders Salem Spicka (bass guitar), Kimberly Tanner (keyboard), John Sadler (guitar) and Matthew Menard (vocals) brought down the house with their finale of “In Christ Alone” by Getty and Townend, winning Best Instrumentation. “The entire evening was really special,” said Paideia parent Caroline Badgett. “All of the performances were wonderful, but I especially treasured the judges’ comments. They were so uplifting and sought to remind the students that their talents are gifts from God to be used for His glory.”
Each event raised a few hundred dollars for its respective hall through sales of admissions tickets and refreshments. The halls use this money for various items throughout the year, like athletic jerseys and materials for their school auction projects. The events also give students the opportunity to build leadership skills through planning and service. Students are responsible for developing the itinerary, promoting the event, stocking the concession stand, organizing volunteers, setting up and cleaning up afterward. “The events are a lot of work, but they’re also lots of fun,” said student Ayden Case.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE’S HEALTHCARE LEADER • TREATEDWELL.COM • 374-PARK
Cape-less crusader
Buscetta Award winner followed dream into nursing The white uniform and pointy hat were pretty neat stuff, but it was the long blue cape that won Liz Clary over to nursing. Of course, she was only 6 but her parents had unknowingly set their daughter on a path to nursing by giving her an English book with a picture of nurses wearing white uniforms and blue capes. “I was so impressed with their uniform that, I must confess, I was more interested in getting that cape than I was with the functions of a nurse,” Clary said with a laugh recently. “However, as I matured, I began to realize the potential impact that a nurse has to improve a patient’s healing process. It sounds corny, but it is the nurse’s wisdom of health and her power of spreading kindness, humor and gentleness that promotes healing. That still excites me!” That much is evident as Clary, director of patient care services at Peninsula Hospital, was recently presented Covenant Health’s 2013 Buscetta Award, given to outstanding managers who personify leadership excellence. It is named for Samuel R. Buscetta, retired executive vice president for human resources, who was instrumental in launching Covenant Health’s Journey to Excellence initiative. Nominations for the award were submitted by Covenant Health’s senior leaders, and Clary was selected from among seven finalists who were evaluated in areas such as quality, service, growth, finance/cost management and developing people, along with achievements related to systemwide alignment and innovation. Upon receiving the award from Covenant CEO Tony Spezia, Clary said that “working for Covenant Health has been the greatest journey of my life.” It has, indeed, been quite a journey. Clary has worked for Covenant Health organizations for 30 years, having begun at Fort Sanders Regional between her junior and senior years at Tennessee Tech. After graduating in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science in nursing, she became a staff nurse at Methodist Medical Center in 1982. “I was extremely nervous,” she recounts of her first year in nursing. “But I found everyone to be friendly and supportive. It took me about a year to finally feel competent. I was much more polished in my clinical skills and critical-thinking skills but knew that every day was new with different clinical situations and opportunities to learn. That is the beauty of nursing – you learn something new each day, both clinically and from the standpoint of human behavior and reactions to illness.”
Liz Clary of Peninsula Hospital is 2013 Buscetta Award winner.
She eventually became nurse manager over MMC’s cardiac unit. By 2008, however, she was looking for new challenges and accepted a post as risk manager at Peninsula Hospital, a 155-bed treatment center for the mentally ill and those addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. “I wanted to learn a new function of healthcare in a completely different environment,” said Clary, who had never worked with the mentally ill in all her years of nursing. She also thought she wanted to “move away from management,” but eight weeks after becoming risk manager, she was given the opportunity to become manager of patient care. Surprising herself, she quickly accepted because she felt she could “make a difference – not through my psychiatric knowledge but through my nursing knowledge in how to keep people safe.” It was her solution-oriented approach to problems that caught the attention of Jeff Dice, vice-president of Peninsula Behavioral Health. “My first impression of Liz was that of a very patient- and staff-centered leader,” said Dice. “She looks for what’s the right thing to do for patients and how to make that solution work. She’s a very good listener, is always seeking input from all the participants of an issue. Her attitude has
done a great deal in improving the morale at Peninsula, and that improves patient care.” Clary, however, confesses that her knowledge of mental health was limited in the beginning. “When I interviewed for the Risk Management position, I was struck by how little I knew about mental health and the important role that these employees were serving to help their patients,” said Clary. “I was embarrassed that I never bothered to try to understand mental health better and that in all of my opportunities to learn in my nursing career that it was the one thing I had ignored.” “If any of my cardiac patients were depressed, I would just give them the ‘cheerleading theme’ of how lucky they were to have a second chance in life, and I never thought to just listen,” she added. “I have since learned that you cannot separate mental health from physical health. I love the concept of treating the patient from a holistic point of view, which I think mental health providers do well. Mental health providers are wonderfully patient and kind people who give their patients hope.” Today, Clary is regarded as one of East Tennessee’s greatest mental health advocates. Not only did she smooth the transition following the closure of the state men-
Clary proudly shows her Buscetta Award. tal facility at Lakeshore last year, but she also worked with the state of Tennessee, Mobile Crisis and law enforcement officers in Knox County and Knoxville to better transition patients out of the Emergency Departments into a safe environment. She says a lack of funding remains one of the greatest challenges for mental health in East Tennessee, but believes that is no excuse. “It is our responsibility to think outside the box for different approaches to the delivery of care,” she says. “We in the mental health community need to do a better job of partnering with each other and the State to develop the best model to provide mental health coverage. … It takes an entire community to care for people with mental illness.” A blue cape, however, is not needed.

No place like home It’s spring, and, as in June, things are “bustin’ out all over.” Everything’s blooming. It’s a beautiful sight.
Carol Zinavage
Carol’s Critter Corner Sadly, however, it’s not a beautiful sight over at YoungWilliams Animal Center. Because along with the daffodils and dogwoods comes another symptom of the season: unwanted animals. “Starting in the spring, the shelter usually receives an influx of puppies in need of homes,” says Young-Williams CEO Jeff Ashin. “It’s the start of mating season for dogs and cats, and unfortunately, many people have not spayed or neutered their pets and end up with litters of animals that they cannot care for.” The shelter is currently filled to capacity.

In order to encourage adoptions and clear space desperately needed for the daily intake of unwanted animals, Young-Williams is reducing fees for all dog adoptions. Now through April 14, it’s offering $50 off the adoption fee for all puppies and $25 off the adoption fee for all adult dogs. That brings the fees down to $100 and $50 respectively. It’s a steal. That fee includes more than $600 worth of veterinary care: a physical exam, spay/neuter

Parkview resident Vivian Baker enjoys spending most of her time with her roommate, 8-year-old miniature poodle Maggie Mae. The pair has been inseparable since Baker’s husband passed away eight years ago. Baker got the miniature poodle as a puppy “when she was just fluff,” said the Clinton native. She missed having a companion and Maggie – named after the Rod Stewart pop hit – filled the void. If Baker plays cards in the afternoon, Maggie is right by her side. Baker rarely leaves her furry

happened to me before. And of course, puppies are new to the world and haven’t had any problems yet. But my little guy needed some help. Now, as I watch him sleeping peacefully on the rug with his favorite stuffed toy, I’m reminded that the rewards of owning a shelter dog – of literally saving a life – are immeasurable.

surgery, DAPP and Kennel Cough vaccinations, heartworm test, and one month of heartworm prevention, standard deworming, one month of flea prevention, nail trim and ear cleaning, and microchipping with registration. On Feb. 3 of this year, I adopted a shelter dog. He’s a Corgi/Shepherd mix, and I named him Barney Fife because he’s small, he’s full of bravado and he howls off-key. Barney had already been surrendered back to the shelter by one adoptive family. Like most dogs, he’s intelligent and sensitive; after so many hard knocks, he wasn’t sure he could trust his new home and situation. He was fearful, clingy and needy – a “velcro dog” – and he needed constant reassurance. I did a little reading about Barney’s various problems. Turns out they’re quite common, and not only in shelter dogs. With just a little effort on my part, Barney began to turn around. A Gentle Leader leash helped him learn to heel on our walks. A crate helped him to feel safe. He easily learned some simple commands. He’s become
much happier and calmer. He’s developed an affectionate friendship with my four (shelter) cats. I’m telling you this because you may have reservations about shelter pets. Yes, they’ve been through some stuff. Yes, they may have behavioral problems at first. On the other hand, you may luck out and get one who settles right in; it’s

NEWS FROM PROVISION HEALTH & WELLNESS
Provision member achieves outstanding results By Shana Raley-Lusk When it comes to the impact that Provision Health and Wellness has had on her life, Mindy Schultz-Fee cannot contain her excitement.
Mindy Schultz-Fee before losing 30 pounds.
“I cannot even begin to tell you what a fabulous place Provision is,” she says. A Provision member since 2010, Mindy counts her decision to join as one of the best she has ever made. The professionals at Provision give Mindy all the tools she needs to reach her goals and embrace her healthy new lifestyle. “The staff was so welcoming and encouraging,” she says. “I did feel at first intimidated, but the staff was so supportive that the intimidation went away quickly.”
Provision will be hosting a Spin-A-Thon fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, April 19. Participants may ride as long as they wish and as hard as their hearts desire! Pledge your own time or sponsor a friend with a minimum $5 donation for each 30-minute ride. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. Call 232-1414 to sign up for your time slot!
When she joined Provision, Mindy could not do more than five sit-ups. “I was reminded by the staff that that was five more than what I could do the week before,” she remembers. “It was the positivity that kept me pushing to improve week by week.” Mindy’s original goal was to lose 30 pounds before her trip to Ibiza in September 2011. “I knew I was going to be miserable if I could not get into a bathing suit,” she says. By January 2011, she was ready for the next step. At Provision, she was able to get the help of a personal trainer who was also a registered dietitian. “I realized that losing weight is not just about cardio, it is about the food I eat. I did not go on a diet, but started really looking at what my food was made of.” Her new trainer made her feel more confident in using weights and suggested new types of exercise that would help her see improvements in the areas she needed most. After reaching her initial goal of losing 30 pounds, Mindy has stayed with Provision and has been able to keep that weight off. “I have new goals for trying to tone better and incorporate yoga into my life,” she says.

Provision make the experience even more enjoyable for Mindy. “We love seeing new people in our class. We all know how they feel,” she says. “No one cares what you look like. We are just glad you are there.”
Her favorite of all the classes offered at Provision is the spin class. Mindy encourages others who are looking to make a lifestyle change to visit Provision. “If you listen to the staff, you will see changes
and you will get the results you want,” she says. “They are there for you every step of the way. This place has really changed the way I feel about myself.” Info: 865-232-1414 or www.livewellknoxville. com

“Doctor Caught Red-Handed Using 118-Year-Old Technology in Practice” Dear friend, Okay, so I’m caught. What can I say? I’m not going to apologize for it. Since 1895, the main procedure used in my profession hasn’t changed all that much. Why change something that works so well? Of course, people are always welcome to use more modern, more invasive technologies to “help” with their health concerns. That’s certainly their prerogative. On first glance, people are often impressed with “cutting edge” or highly sophisticated therapies and drugs. But lack of health very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. Our genetics haven’t changed much at all in the last 50,000 years, yet we do things and behave in ways that we were never designed to do. For example, humans were never designed to sit all day at desk jobs, work on factory assembly lines, or eat mountains of sugar, refined carbohydrates, or artificial foods laden with preservatives. So, the sudden jump in chronic diseases doesn’t surprise me one bit. Sometimes looking backward is just as important as looking forward. Human genes can’t be asked to adapt to sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, constant negative and stressful thoughts, and unnatural chronic “mechanical” stresses. In general, we were never designed to live the lifestyle we do today. So, what can we do? We can continue to eat poorly and take drugs for high cholesterol. We can continue to think rotten thoughts and take antidepressants. We can continue the sedentary lifestyle that is slowly wrecking our lives, and hope someday we’ll become motivated. Before I go on and tell you more, let me tell you something about me. Years ago, something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story. I’m a medical student at the time, and I’m working hard at it. That is, until it happens. Somehow, I start to get terrible pain in both my hands and feet. I still remember how awful it was. The pain in my hands and feet gets so intense that it’s unbearable to touch anything, or even wear socks. To say the least, I’m scared. And that’s not all. Eventually, I can’t even walk because of the pain in my feet. I’m admitted to the hospital where they do every test they can think of, and the doctors still can’t say what’s wrong. I’m terrified that I may never walk again. After two weeks in the hospital, I’m only getting worse. My insurance runs
out, so they put me on powerful painkillers and send me home. But, there’s more. Finally, my mom convinces me to see her doctor. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films, and then “adjusts” my spine. The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. Over time, I get relief and I can use my hands and feet again. Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor? Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other “miracles” I see in his office, that I drop out of med school and head straight to chiropractic
pain in my arm, hand, and neck. After three weeks of chiropractic, the pain was gone!” (Roberta S., Oak Ridge) “My neck pain is gone, and I can feel my fingers again!” (T. S., Karns) “The last time I went to my rheumatologist, he couldn’t find any pressure points caused by fibromyalgia!” (F. C., Karns) “Since I have been coming to see Dr. Andy, I have not had any ear infections.” (Hayden, 2 years old) Here’s the most important

school.” Let me tell you about Zachary, my son (the cute one in the picture). He’s 5 years old. He’s a very happy and healthy boy! Can you believe that Zachary’s been getting adjusted since he was only 5 minutes old? Why? He’s very active and constantly falls down, just like all little kids. These falls, and even the birth process, affect the spine. That’s why we see so many children in our office. People from Karns and the surrounding area bring their kids to see me. They also come to me with their: • Headaches • Fibromyalgia • Migraines • Chronic Pain • Neck Pain • Shoulder/Arm Pain • Whiplash from car accidents • Backaches • Numbness in limbs • Asthma • Allergies Just to name a few. Here’s what some of your neighbors have to say: “I now have long-term relief from my headaches.” (A. B., Karns, 16) “I have had back and hip pain for two years. After two months. of chiropractic care, the pain was 95 percent better. I also had severe
thing I have to say. Your body is made to heal itself, and it does that best when it’s free of nerve interference. So, as much as I’d like the credit, I can’t take it. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. I analyze the nerve system and the spine and perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure. The body responds, and often it heals itself once that nerve interference is removed. Of course, all people respond differently to care, but we get terrific results. It’s as simple as that! Tens of millions of Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are greatly reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. A seven-year study compared costs of people seeing medical providers vs. chiropractors. Overall, the patients seeing chiropractors had 60 percent less hospitalizations, 59 percent less days in the hospital, 62 percent less outpatient surgeries, and 85 percent less costs for prescription drugs. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Another way to save… Peer-reviewed, published studies show that chiropractic may increase immune system
Affordable Chiropractic Care for the Whole Family As insurance coverage is decreasing and health care costs are skyrocketing, we believe it is more important than ever er for families to receive affordable chiropractic care, so they ey can achieve and maintain optimal health! We have started a membership option for those who do not have insurance or don’t have adequate insurance coverage.. This is especially affordable for the whole family to receive care!

indicators, naturally and without drugs. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much. This is especially important if you are self-employed. And an entire week of care in my office may cost what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. Special Offer: Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. When you are one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by May 6, 2013) you’ll receive that entire exam for $27. That’s with X-rays, Para spinal thermal imaging… the whole ball of wax, and there are no hidden fees. But call right away, because we expect to be flooded with calls, as this exam normally costs more than $200. Again, there’s only 20 of these slots, so don’t miss out (by law, this offer excludes Medicare/ Medicaid beneficiaries). Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Life University. I’ve been entrusted to take care of everyone from tiny babies to senior citizens. In 2002 my wife, Dr. Jennifer, and I moved to Knoxville (Karns). My assistants are Steven and Meredith, and they are very loving people. Our office is both friendly and warm, and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee. Our office is called Scoles Family Chiropractic and it’s at 7555 Oak Ridge Hwy. (We are across from Dollar General in Karns). Our phone number is 865-531-8025. Call Steven or Meredith today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you and God Bless. Andrew D. Scoles, D.C. P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $17. P.P.S. Your time is as valuable as mine. That’s why most of our patients are in and out of our office in less than 10 minutes (for adjustments). P.P.P.S. We offer very affordable family plans so that your whole family can get and stay healthy.
