A Farragut Rossini? A longtime Knoxville event may be looking for a new home, and Farragut could be considered as a venue. Knoxville Opera Executive Director and Conductor Brian Salesky only let the cat’s whiskers out of the bag during a community grants workshop presentation before the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen on April 25.

Gun ordinance dies a quick death Handgun ownership will not be required of Farragut residents, after quick action by Mayor Ralph McGill. He called for a voice vote on the proposal at last week’s BOMA meeting and prevailed 4-1 with only Bob Markli voting yes.

Recruiting You may have heard that recruiting is the lifeblood of Tennessee football. Butch Jones and his people are on the case. Their start is encouraging. There is a catch: They still must identify and sign more and better players than Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and opponents of that ilk if they hope to whip them on the field.

gram. Volk was presented with a plaque last week, and the league will receive a $2,500 check for its programs. All of the honorees will be announced by Monday, May 6, and one of them will be named the ultimate winner and receive $5,000 for his or her organization. Three siblings who participate in the symphony’s youth orchestra performed at Volk’s presentation. “I was really pleased they were there,” says Volk. “That’s what it is all about.” Volk majored in English

at San Diego State University in California and taught for several years before becoming a full-time mom. Fittingly, she has served as the league’s vice president of education for about six years. “I really enjoy it because we get to organize and plan the programs for the elementary schools in Knox County for our Classroom Connections program,” says Volk. Elementary school music teachers use a lesson plan that incorporates excerpts of classical pieces, and members of the league and KSO musicians visit the classrooms to talk about the music, the instruments and the symphony.

Then more than 8,000 elementary students get to hear the orchestra play the full pieces – and see their friends from Classroom Connections – at one of five concerts presented at the Civic Auditorium. “They’re all jabber, jabber, jabber when they come in, and you could hear a pin drop in that auditorium when it’s ready to start,” says Volk. “The kids are so caught up in it, it’s just amazing. “It’s really rewarding that the kids get so excited about this program.” Volk has been the driving force behind raising the level of donations for Knoxville More on A-3

‘Micro markets’ influence residential real estate picture By Sherri Gardner Howell Suzy Trotta, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace, confirmed what most who have ever bought or sold a home always thought was true: There are some neighborhoods that hold their value better than others, no matter the age of the houses and development. It is called a micro market and most areas of Knox

County have one, two or is a micro market, Trotta several. “A micro market said. “With the golf course is just that little pocket of and the houses – usually a neighcountry borhood – that has a club, you unique community,” Trotta are buying a lifestyle, explained in a telephone interview. “The houses usunot just a house.” ally sell quicker and hold their value better than othVillage er neighborhoods that have Green is the same age homes but not Suzy Trotta another one. “Vilthe same community.” In Farragut, Fox Den lage Green is a very ‘walk-

able’ neighborhood,” she explained. “You can walk to Fresh Market, to the library, to the park. They have a pool and very active, friendly groups within the neighborhood that make it highly desirable for some buyers. These micro markets aren’t for everyone, but for a segment of the home-buying population, they have a huge appeal.” Homeowners and poten-

tial home buyers need to keep things like micro markets in mind when evaluating the housing market, said Trotta. “You can’t just listen to figures on the national news and know how the real estate market is doing in your area. Even in Knox County, you can’t say, ‘Here are the numbers, so this is the whole picture.’ There are game-changers at every level.”

Hummin’, strummin’ and yummin’ By Anne Hart

If the mere thought of good barbecue makes your mouth water, and if the idea of live music by performers with several popular bands gets your toes tapping, this weekend should be total bliss for you. The “First Annual Rocky Top Hummin’ & Strummin’ BBQ Cookoff” is set to open at 6 p.m. Friday on the 100-acre campus of the Episcopal School of Knoxville and will continue noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $10 per day or $15 for two days and may

be purchased at the gate. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of West Knoxville and benefitting its projects at home and globally, the two-day event is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society. It will feature 50 barbecue cooking teams from across the country vying for $10,000 in prizes and the chance to compete at the annual Jack Daniels BBQ Cookoff, a worldwide competition held in Lynchburg in the fall. But don’t think this event is just about cook-

ing. That’s the centerpiece, of course, but there will be plenty of opportunity for public participation, including a chance to judge the barbecue, to buy food and drink from on-site vendors, and maybe even to learn secrets from some of those barbecue experts. Proceeds from this event, which has been chaired by Oliver Smith IV and made possible through the work of dozens of volunteers, will benefit Rotary projects. Info: www. rockytopbbq.com.

Coming home

For Nashville singer/ songwriter and “American Idol” performer Kendra Chantelle, it will be a homecoming when she appears live onstage Chantelle with her band at West Knox Rotary’s big barbecue cookoff event on Friday, May 3. She’s a Loudon County native and a 2006 gradu-

ate of Loudon County High School who attended Maryville College on a choral scholarship before taking her dream to Music City. “It’s always fun to play close to home,” says Chantelle. “I expect a lot of friends and relatives from Loudon County will turn out. I’m bringing my band, and we are all very excited about playing this event.” Kendra will perform from 7-9 p.m. Friday. On Saturday, live music starting at noon will be by the Early Morning String Dusters, Second Opinion and Kounterfitterz.

Probably to be more aggressive. I am very laid back.

What is your passion? Making the Executive Cleaners the best cleaners in town. I am trying to set an example of what a dry cleaners should be. Being the first environmental cleaners, I want to be the cleaners that everyone can follow. Our state is so behind compared to the changes being made in the dry cleaning business in other states. I want our community to have the same service that the big cities are providing.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

Jin Kim

Jin Kim, a husband and parent, has had quite a few life-defining moments: Coming to the U.S. from South Korea as a 13-year-old with his parents in 1986, getting married, the birth of his two daughters. On the business front, however, that life-defining moment came when he was working in a drycleaning store and the cleaning machine broke. “I had to open the machine and get the clothes out, which were very wet with the chemical being used to clean, perc (perchloroethylene). The fumes and the smell were so bad that it almost knocked me out, and I didn’t feel right for days.” This experience crowned what Kim, who now owns the three Executive Cleaners in Knoxville, had always believed. “I had just always known that perc and the petroleum-based solvents used in dry cleaners wasn’t good for you, and wasn’t good for your clothes.” When Kim finished school and began to look around to open a dry cleaning business, he wanted to find one that was using the “green” method of cleaning that used no solvents or perc. “Executive Cleaners was doing a Green Earth machine process, which was about the best on the market at the time,” said Kim. “I came to Knoxville and went into business for Tom White. In 2003, I bought the cleaners from him, which included five locations plus one I opened next to Wasabi.” Kim now has three cleaners, including the one he opened on Parkside Drive near Turkey Creek in February. In the years since, Kim has continued to upgrade the solvent-free way of dry cleaning, buying a new process that uses wet cleaning with water and a special soap that now has his dry cleaners 100 percent solvent-free. “I have been working on learning everything I can about the new, environmentally-safe processes, bought the new equipment and went to New York for training and a couple of weekend apprenticeships with owners who also use the process,” says Kim. “It is not only better for the environment, but it is so much better for the clothes. They don’t shrink or bleed, they get cleaner, and they don’t have that chemical smell.” Kim and his wife, Jung, have two daughters, Ellie, 8, and Lily, 4.

Showcasing talents, natural beauty

Artist Brad Bittle works on an oil painting of the Old William Hackney Mill, which sits on private property near the intersection of Concord Road and Campbell Station Road, during Farragut’s Art in the Park. Photos by Justin Acuff Allison Sousa, executive director of the Farragut Business Alliance, is celebrating success – and the grand finale hasn’t even happened yet!

Sherri Gardner Howell FARRAGUT FACES

A scene at Campbell Station Park has captured the artistic eye of Karen Reeves.

Sousa has good reason to be joyful about this year’s Art in the Park, which culminates with a celebration gallery showing and sale today (April 29) at 7 p.m. at The Gallery at Renaissance Center. In its third year, the event enjoyed beautiful weather for the artists, was an official Dogwood Arts Festival sanctioned event, showcased the talents of 25 artists and photographers and added a family event that drew more than 300 children to Campbell Station Park. “This was the first year for Kids Art in the Park,” says Sousa. “More than 300 children came, plus their parents and grandparents. We had all kinds of children’s activities and crafts, food and entertainment.”

Neranza Noel Blount uses beeswax and resin to do encaustic paintings at Campbell Station Park as part of Farragut’s Art in the Park. Elizabeth Kidder concentrates as she creates watercolor and ink drawings at Campbell Station Park. “The purpose of Art in the Park is to showcase not only the incredible talents that can be found in East Tennessee, but the natural beauty and offerings that are inherent here in Farragut,” says Sousa. “The artists set up outside all over town to paint and photograph what they see. The public can stop by and watch, talk and enjoy the views as well.” The “en plein air” event, which is French for “in the open air,” brings artists Jeanette Burgess talks with artist Gary Dagnan Saturday morntogether to paint in what- ing at Art in the Park. ever style and medium they choose.

Lakeshore transfer moves ahead Dr. John Turner, former President of Knoxville College and retired TVA vice president, has been appointed by Mayor Rogero to Knoxville Community Development Corporation to replace longtime member Juanita Cannon who served over 20 years. Of all the mayoral appointments to boards and commissions, KCDC ranks in the top tier in terms of authority and influence in shaping the future of the city. ■ Dan Murphy, UT professor and former Knox County school board chair, was also appointed by Rogero to the KCDC board to replace Craig Griffith, former city public affairs director. He was an active Rogero supporter in 2011. ■ For the first time in KCDC history, a majority of the full board is African American. Previous commissioners have included Gov. Bill Haslam, former city law director Morris Kizer, former city community development director Laurens Tullock and Griffith. If all the residents of KCDC-managed housing were a city, it would exceed 6,299 city residents, which is larger than most current Tennessee cities. ■ Mayoral appointments such as this, according to a Rogero spokesperson, are not announced by a news release so the public has to learn of them by word of mouth or checking each board’s website to discover them. A system should be put in place to show monthly who the mayor has appointed to the more than 30 boards to which she can name members. ■ Lee Miracle, property manager for the city of Knoxville for 17 years, is retiring July 31. He is having a hip replacement this week. He previously worked for Knox County in the property assessor and register of deeds offices. His competence and thorough approach to city property issues set an example which will be hard to emulate. The city has not yet started to advertise to fill his position. ■ Dorothy Stair, mother of City Council member Marshall Stair, has been elected chair of the Blount Mansion board, to take effect in June. She has previously served as president of Knox Heritage and is a strong

proponent of historic preservation. She will be an active leader for this historic site. She also serves on the board of Visit Knoxville. A new director for Blount Mansion will be announced soon. ■ Judge Tena Campbell gave TVA a serious lesson about what the First Amendment means, a concept which has been difficult for TVA lawyers and the board to understand. You may recall almost two years ago, TVA imposed a dress code for persons attending TVA public hearings including a ban on facial paint. Several people were denied entry and then filed a lawsuit in federal court to assert their right of free speech through dress as well as word. Judge Campbell denied the TVA motion to dismiss and ordered the matter to go to trial, which suggests that she believes there is merit to the claim. At a time when TVA has serious cost overruns, it is astonishing they would waste money and time worrying about how attendees dress at a public hearing. One would think the board would intervene and instruct their lawyers to drop the matter. Let people attend the hearings dressed as they want, just as Knox County Commission and Knoxville City Council do. ■ Gov. Haslam’s commissioner of finance and administration, Mark Emkes, has resigned effective May 31. The governor would not have to look far to find a well-qualified replacement if he picked Larry Martin, who worked for Haslam when he was mayor and has continued to work as a special trouble-shooter for him in Nashville. Martin resides in Knox County and commutes to Nashville.

Spring cleaning Knox County Commission is expected to approve a $159,982 state grant to clean up five parcels of privately-owned property that have been used as an illegal dump site for old tires. A resolution to approve the grant is on the agenda for Monday’s commission meeting. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has approved a grant for the cleanup of parcels on Alex Bales Road and Smith School Road in the Thorn Grove area. Work is to begin May 15 and end by Dec. 31. Nearby residents say the property is at least a mile away from land bought by The Development Corporation near the Midway Road interchange with I-40E for use as a business park. TDC has not been able to get the property rezoned, and insiders who bought adjacent tracts have not seen a profit. The tire cleanup is authorized by the Solid Waste Management Act of 1991,

The law school will graduate its first class in May, a group of 80, most of whom have attended classes while working full-time. The school has reapplied for provisional accreditation with the American Bar Association and a site review team toured the campus March 17-20. Interim Dean Parham Williams expects a decision

which was written to reform the way solid waste disposal is handled in Tennessee. One of its major objectives was to reduce the stream of waste going to landfills by developing other means of disposal, primarily recycling. One of its provisions, the Waste Tire Program, was designed to keep old tires out of permitted landfills. The Solid Waste Management Act requires TDEC to fund grants to counties to clear old tires out of illegal dumpsites. It requires counties to provide disposal methods for the discarded tires. And it requires TDEC to help counties find “beneficial” uses for the old tires and prohibits the practice of dumping shredded tires in permitted landfills if better end uses are available.

help from citizens. “There’s no way to track waste tires. We need people to report tire dumps to us, especially near the roadside,” Salter said. “We have an environmental crimes investigator (Jackie Paul, formerly a codes inspector) who is focusing on waste tire disposal. If citizens see someone dumping tires, we really need that information.” Meanwhile, out near Farragut on Lexington Drive, property owned by auctioneer Sam Furrow, cleanup is finally underway on the huge pile of asphalt roofing shingles dumped there following severe hailstorms in April 2011. The city of Knoxville, which had annexed the property, filed suit against Greenphalt Recycling, accusing the company of operating an unauthorized dump site. Greenphalt shut down and left town, leaving Furrow responsible for the cleanup. Furrow told WBIR-TV that he’s contracted an outof-state company to chip up and recycle the shingles into asphalt. Both the city and Furrow expect the lot to be clean by year’s end.

The law allows TDEC to seek cleanup costs at the rate of $1 per tire from responsible parties when feasible, which has not been deemed appropriate in the case of the Thorn Grove properties. “One of the things that triggers these actions is complaints from the neighbors,” said Knox County Solid Waste director Tom Salter. “These dumps have to be huge and they have to be old. TDEC had known about this dump for years, and the current property owners did not dump the tires.” The Waste Tire Program is funded by a $1.35 predisposal fee tacked onto the cost of all new tires sold at retail, including tires for farm tractors and other equipment. Illegal tire dumping should be reported to the Division of Solid Waste Management’s field staff or by calling 1-888-891-8332. Knox County residents may bring up to four tires at a time to any county convenience center, with the exception of Carter, which has space limitations, Salter said. He also said his department would welcome

through performance program, and all are ABA accredited, he doesn’t see the program as a hindrance to accreditation. Parham Williams leaves listeners ready to enroll in law school. He’s obviously the right man in the right place at the right time.

FARRAGUT Shopper news • APRIL 29, 2013 • A-5

Gun ordinance idea dies a quick death Farragut residents won’t be required to “pack heat” in their homes. A vote by the Suzanne Board of Mayor and AlderForee men concerning a proposal to Neal require heads of households to own a gun was shot down 4-to-1. At the beginning of each Gill took that opportunity meeting there is a “Mayor’s to express his opinion about Report.” Mayor Ralph Mc- adopting a resolution simi-

lar to one passed in 1982 in Kennesaw, Ga., requiring a gun to be in every house. Farragut resident Bill Johns was the target of the mayor’s remarks after Johns suggested it would be beneficial for the town to adopt said ordinance as a marketing measure. The issue received wide media attention both in TV and print.

“I don’t believe the Federal government has the right to tell someone they have to buy health insurance or to have a gun in every house,” McGill said, adding he wished he didn’t have to discuss it at all, but called for a vote on adopting the resolution. Only Alderman Bob Markli voted “yes.”

“That’s the end of this talk,” McGill said, “and that’s all I have for the mayor’s report.” In other business, Rogers Group Inc. was awarded a contract of $410,477.17 to resurface 16 roads: Lark Meadow, Gatesmill, Cedar Ridge, Long Bow, Broken Saddle, Red Canyon, Sundown, Deadwood, Hidden Creek, Four Seasons, Black Powder, Banbury, East Union, Harrison, Everett and Virtue.

Approved on second reading were a dozen ordinances, either new or updated, dealing with getting in step with new building technology and industry standards to comply with the International Building Code. The town will host a community forum Wednesday, May 2, at 6 p.m. at Town Hall to gather feedback from residents on what they want the town to do going forward with the FY2014 budget.

A Farragut Rossini? Organizations make case for community grants A longtime Knoxville event may be looking for a new home, and Farragut could be considered as a venue. Knoxville Opera Executive Director and Conductor Brian Salesky only let the cat’s whiskers out of the bag during a community grants workshop before the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen on April 25. Salesky was there to ask the town for a $5,000 community grant to help fund the opera company’s

presentations in the schools, a m o n g other activities. He touched on the subject of possibly moving Salesky the Rossini Festival to Farragut, but then said if there were members of the press present, he wasn’t going to continue. “I’ll just forget the next

sentence,” he said, looking at Mayor Ralph McGill. “We would be glad to have you,” McGill said with a smile. The Rossini Festival, held this past weekend, has become a staple in Knoxville, staged along Gay Street and Market Square. Salesky said East Tennessee’s only professional opera company will be moving west this year with its “The Knoxville Opera Goes to Church” program, adding New Covenant Bap-

tist Church on Lovell Road. The largest grant request, $16,500, came from Jamie Stokes, director of operations for Tour Vision Promotions, which brings the News Sentinel Open to Fox Den Country Club. Last year’s grant money was used to expand public seating for the golf tournament, and Stokes would use this year’s money to provide more bleachers. Other grant requests included: ■ Larry Wilder with the

Knox County Fire Prevention Bureau – $5,000 for fire prevention programs; ■ Ric Best with East Tennessee Concert Band – $1,900 to fund Rising Star and pay for music rights; ■ Jennifer Baxter with the Dogwood Arts Festival – $10,000 to highlight Dogwood-sanctioned events in Farragut, including Art in the Park, Book Fest, bus tours, open gardens and include a map of the town in its festival guide; ■ Melanie O’Dowd with

Sunshine Ambassadors – $2,000 for the dance program for the disabled; ■ Beth Ritchey with Concord Adult Day Enrichment Services – $5,000 to create a data system that is going to be a required component for programs; ■ Allison Teeters with Keep Knoxville Beautiful – $1,500 for Green Miles programs. The board will weigh all the requests and make a decision later. – S. Neal

Hotel/motel tax for Farragut passes first reading Farragut is getting in step with Knoxville and Knox County with a hotel/ motel tax after a two-year discussion. The subject was one of three workshop sessions April 25 before the regular meeting of the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen. By a 4-to-1 vote, the measure was approved later during the regular

meeting. Only Alderman Bob Markli voted against the measure. Changes in the law made it possible for the town to assess its own hotel/motel tax because it met two of three criteria: a city has to be adjacent to a county with a commercial services airport (McGhee Tyson); and must be in a county with a convention

center of specified square footage with an attached hotel (the Knoxville Convention center has around 500,000 square feet with an adjacent Holiday Inn). Town Administrator David Smoak said for towns like Farragut, the process to implement is “pretty simple.” The board has to create the ordinance and pass it with a

two-thirds majority on two readings. For the BOMA, that’s four out of five members. The new ordinance will assess a 3 percent tax ($3 on a $100 room). “I would suggest we use it for economic development and tourism and capital projects that would increase economic development in the town,” said Smoak.

“Based on 70 percent occupancy, it would bring in $460,000 in FY14.” The money would go directly to the town. Markli was concerned about taxing people just for the sake of “grabbing more money.” Smoak noted that the tax would not affect residents, but rather tourists who get benefit from using the town’s

roads and amenities. While it would be a new tax, it doesn’t necessarily mean more money. Changes in how the Hall Tax is figured are resulting in less money for the town, and most board members believe the tax will disappear. Four years ago, the town collected $600,000; this year $330,000. – S. Neal

Recruiting is football heartbeat More than once you may have heard that recruiting is the lifeblood of Tennessee football. Butch Jones and his people are on the case. Their start is encouraging. There is a catch: They still must identify and sign more and better players than Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and opponents of that ilk if they hope to whip them on the ﬁeld. Learning all the plays, giving great effort, eliminating errors and playing fast may point a team toward progress. Sharp strategy helps but competing for championships requires talent. There is an old horsebarn saying that you don’t win the Derby with a donkey. That translates into “only thoroughbreds win the great Kentucky race.” There is another horse saying: It costs much the same to feed and house

winners and losers. That doesn’t need translation. In football, separating potential winners from losers at age 17 is the trick. Jalen Hurd and Todd Kelly were obvious. Correctly evaluating a hundred others is the next best step toward restoration of the Volunteers. Speed is measured with stop watches. Weight rooms reveal a lot about strength. Camps are insightful. Very careful study of game video provides clues about agility, explosion and even will to win. Individual visits with prospects, parents, coaches, teachers, friends and the high school janitor

generally yield information. The process is tedious and takes time. The really hard part in evaluation is reading tea leaves and crystal balls, peering around the corner, two or three years into the future, and guessing about growth and development. After getting all the components of the first part correct, next are the cultivation of relationships and the successful sale of what you have to offer. Tennessee has positives for presentation: Good school, rich tradition, giant stadium, great training facility, strong support system, hundreds of ex-Vols as patterns, thousands and thousands of passionate fans. Again, early returns are encouraging. Two incidents are little bugs in the recruiting soup. Tennessee people have stopped worrying about it but outsiders are still stir-

God’s owner’s manual Blessed are you, O Lord; Teach me your statutes. With my lips I declare All the ordinances of your mouth. I delight in the way of your decrees As much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts, And fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. (Psalm 119:12-16 NRSV)

Psalm 119 is unique in the Bible. It is the longest chapter in Scripture, to be sure, but that is not its claim to fame. It is made up of 22 stanzas (most modern versions of the Bible print it that way, with spaces between

the stanzas), and in Hebrew it is an alphabetical acrostic, a fact which is not apparent at all in English. Every line of the first stanza begins with an alef, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; every line of the second stanza begins with

the second letter, bet, and so on. Such a device could appear to be simply linguistic acrobatics, or an aid to memorization, but there is another theory that scholars put forth. Some authorities maintain that it is a way to express devotion to Scripture. I remember so well mem-

ring and stirring the brew: Why, oh why, did ex-Vol Jay Graham flee the scene for Florida State? There is no good answer. Why he said, if he said, old, white, bald-headed coaches can’t relate to the modern athlete is another puzzler. Why he said, if he said, that the new Tennessee staff was unfamiliar with kill-or-be-killed recruiting in the Southeastern Conference remains a minor irritant. Only dumbdumbs would see it as anything less than war. Tennessee, indeed, has some coaches with my kind of hairstyle. John Jancek, Steve Stripling, Willie Martinez, Mike Bajakian and Dave Lawson come to mind. They are some shade of white but not old enough to be called ancient. They appear to be good guys but I do believe they are plenty tough enough. Deeper in the background is another curiosity, J.R. Sandlin, a bright, young idea man hired away from Alabama in Decem-

ber to be office director of Tennessee recruiting. He vanished in March. Coach Jones said “J.R. has moved on and is no longer part of the program.” Hmm. Did J.R. get homesick for Tuscaloosa? Did he wear his religion too low on his sleeves? Did he rub somebody the wrong way? Who made which mistake? Exactly what happened? Neither Graham nor Sandlin nor the “bald-headed white guys” putdown matter one snip in the overall recruiting picture if Tennessee evaluates correctly, builds warm, dependable relationships, conveys the impressive family plan and signs four- and ﬁve-star studs that do well in academics, represent the university with dignity and earn all-America honors. The Jones gang is off to a fine start. Perhaps I overestimate the difficulty of recruiting. No way do I exaggerate the importance.

orizing Scripture in Vacation Bible School. I am also old enough to remember when we learned and recited bible verses in public school, and were rewarded with small treasures. Memorizing a whole chapter from the Gospel of John earned me a New Testament, which I still have. (I do not advocate for Biblical instruction in public school, however; I believe ﬁrmly that is the province of the home and the church!) All of this is whirling in my mind because, on a recent Sunday, my husbandto-be was listening carefully to the sermon. Lewis’ mind is always in gear, and he wrote a quick note to me (I know, passing notes in church is what teenagers do, but we feel a little like teenagers these days!),

a note which became the title of today’s column. Sometimes church people take the Bible for granted. We forget that it is God’s self-revelation to us, God’s love letter to the world, God’s claim on God’s creation: it is, in short, God’s owner’s manual. We should be thankful for it, honor it, study it and live by it! God created us, and then – early on – gave us a few rules. Since that time, through Scripture, God has revealed God’s nature and purpose and will and desire for our love and obedience over and over again. God’s Word tells us Who God is, who we are and what it is God wants from us. “And what is that?” you may ask. The answer is quite simple. Relationship.

News from SOS Four education bills did not pass this year’s state General Assembly session, but are likely to return next year. The ﬁnal version of the Charter Authorizer Bill would have given the state Board of Education the authority to overrule local school boards and approve charter schools at schools failing to make “adequate yearly progress.” SOS opposes this bill because we want decisions about local charter schools to be made by local school boards and the governments that fund them. The Tennessee Choice and Opportunity Scholarship Act would have made vouchers available to 5,000 students in the ﬁrst year with numbers rising in future years. To qualify, students would have to be enrolled in schools in the lowest 5 percentile on standardized test performance and qualify for free or reduced lunches. SOS opposes the school voucher bill because it uses public monies to fund private schools that are outside the purview of local school boards. A bill to require the election of school superintendents in districts where they had previously been elected was rejected. Bills to permit counties to hold partisan school board elections, if twothirds of the County Commission approves, have been sent back to subcommittees. SOS opposes both of these initiatives.

Christian musicians are hip in the Square Room By Ashley Baker Thursday nights at 8 p.m. musicians from all over Knoxville gather for singer/songwriter night in the Square Room to showcase their talents. Some are there to promote more than the music. The Square Room is a state-of-the-art live music venue tucked away in downtown Knoxville’s Market Square, behind Café 4, a fullservice restaurant and coffee bar. Chris Perkins, a local musician, worship pastor and music teacher at Christian Academy of Knoxville, sees the venue as an exciting new avenue for Christian ministry. The open mic Thursdays started on Feb. 28. The Square room appeals to both seasoned songwriters and newer musicians, and it offers opportunities to hone music skills and gain experience performing, says Kenny Woodhull, Square Room programming director. “These nights exist as an effort to help and highlight local and regional singer-

Christian worship music. The stage is open for performances from all ages. “I encourage everyone to go, musician or not,” said Perkins. “You can make relationships with like-minded people and gain experience playing in front of a crowd.” Among the lineup of performers are many students from CAK. “I encourage them to go for several reasons,” says Perkins. “I am invested in the singer/songwriter community, and more specifically, I love what the student age group represents.” Perkins also said that open-mic performances provide a valuable realitycheck for his students. “It helps them know if music is something they want to fully invest in.

It is also for ministry. “My music is founded on the Word,” says Perkins. “That makes a tangible difference. And it is exciting to experience how that affects people. It is definitely an opportunity to put on display what the Lord has done and how he has developed me.” Sign-ups fill up quickly at 7:30 every Thursday night. At 8, the first performer takes the stage and is allowed to play two songs (or up to 10 minutes). “The night is hosted each Thursday by a group of gifted and experienced songwriters from the community: Tyler Anthony, Ben Bannister, Adam Whipple and David Clifton,” explains Woodhull.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Better health makes for better students By Wendy Smith Test scores are undeniably important, but even they play second fiddle to a student’s health. That’s why Knox County’s Coordinated School Health (CSH) program is so important. At each school, a CSH team works behind the scenes to keep students healthy, physically and mentally, so that they are better able to learn. The teams, and a number of other initiatives, are coordinated by CSH specialist Aneisa McDonald. The second annual Let’s Move! event will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Victor Ashe Park and Holston Chilhowee Ballpark. Participants will receive a free Walk with Walgreens kit and participate in a pedometer challenge. The Home Depot will provide a free vegetable plant per family and hold a drawing for a gas grill. Subway will provide concessions. The Tennessee Legislature funded CSH programs in all school systems beginning in 2007. It’s a collaborative effort that mobilizes school staff like PE teachers, nurses and counselors, as well as parents and community organizations. “I spend a lot of my time bringing people together,” says McDonald. One CSH initiative that touches all Knox County students is health screenings conducted in kindergarten, 4th, 8th and 10th grades. Each year, with the help of Knox County Schools Health Services, the city of Knoxville, Rural/ Metro and the Karns Volunteer Fire Department, over 12,000 students have their BMI (body mass index) and blood pressure measured, and are checked for acantheosis nigricans, a skin condition that can be a diabetes indicator. Screenings have allowed CSH to pinpoint which parts of the county need the most help in regard to health. Seven Knox County elementary schools currently have Cardiac Clubs that meet after school and offer nutrition education and physical activity to students. Programs that teach children to make healthy choices early in life can affect lifelong health

and even change the culture of a school, McDonald says. Assessments, including a timed mile run, are given to students before and after 20 club sessions. More than 60 percent of participants improve their time on the run, McDonald reports. Cardiac Clubs also offer programs to parents, like cooking demonstrations. “Kids influence parents’ behavior. We thought we would start with parents, and it would trickle down, but it was more efficient to focus on students. They have a sense of ownership about their health, and it’s the perfect time to engage them.” Communit y collaboration plays a key role in encouraging students to maintain a healthy lifestyle, says McDonald, and this was illustrated by last year’s Let’s Move! Knoxville event. Community partners worked with the city, the county and the schools to put together the event, which featured

physical activity and education stations along greenways at two parks. Over 1,000 students and family members attended. This year’s Let’s Move! event is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4, at Victor Ashe Park and Holston Chilhowee Ballpark. Let’s Move! is Michelle Obama’s national campaign to fight childhood obesity. Knoxville and Knox County both won national awards for achieving goals in nutrition and physical activity earlier this year. Students and their families aren’t the only ones to benefit from CSH. A total of 625 Knox County Schools staff members participated in this year’s eight-week eWellness program created by UT. The Internet-based program awards points for healthy habits, like physical activity and eating fruits and vegetables, and local merchants provide incentives. The initial push to fund the statewide CSH program was Tennessee’s high rate of overweight and obese residents, and McDonald is proud of the fact that those rates have decreased in

Since the 2009-10 academic year, the number of overweight and obese students screened has dropped from 38 percent to 33.8 percent. “The work that everyone else does makes my job so much easier,” she says.

Midnight School boosts confidence for TCAPs “Flannel pants, sweatshirts, hot chocolate, good friends … and TCAP!”

Sara Barrett

That was Midnight School at West Valley Middle, organized to help students study for the TCAPs scheduled for the following week. It was held on a Friday night. Reading teacher Amy Crawford got the idea from Ron Clark’s book “The End of Molasses Classes.” She pitched the idea to principal Renee Kelly, who then suggested it to parents and faculty. Initially, parents favored an earlier event on a Monday afternoon, but after getting input from the students, that seemed an extension of

a regular school day. Midnight School was different. Kelly said “input was important from all stakeholders, which of course included the students.” “We are good at thinking outside the box, but it is intimidating to actually step outside that box,” said Kelly, “because there are actually people who meet you there.” Initially, Crawford, Kelly and PTSA members, including president Kelly Keener weren’t sure how many kids to expect. “We didn’t know if we should expect 50 kids, or 10,” said Crawford. They were surprised when more than 250 students participated. “Kids were lined out the door to register,” said Kelly. Door prizes were given, and two study sessions were held. The entire event lasted from 10 p.m. to midnight. Response was overwhelmingly positive. Teachers overheard comments about new friendships being

made and students enjoying seeing the teachers have a good time. Kelly thinks Midnight School will become a tradition at West Valley. “There has been a paradigm shift from the way we traditionally educate our future leaders. We have to think of new ways to excite them about learning, and Midnight School is a part of that.” “We had to tell them, ‘You’ve got to go home now. You can’t stay,’” said Kelly. Volunteers made the event possible, including local businesses which donated time and products, including Texas Roadhouse, Sports Clips, Penn Station, Chuy’s, Rafferty’s, Moe’s, Fusion Tanning Studio, Ruby Tuesday, Jaws Swim Shop, National Fitness Center, Great Clips, TCBY, Firehouse Subs, Snappy Tomato Pizza, Ross the Boss and Co., and Subway. Crawford hopes the school can partner with other schools for next year’s event.

Blooming success Conference celebrates talents, dedication of area garden clubs By Sherri Gardner Howell If the devil is in the details, then success is in making sure those details are well looked-after. Cochairs, committee heads and volunteers from District IV of the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs have recently been up to their necks in details as they took care of hosting the 86th annual meeting and convention of the TFGC. From the looks of opening day, April 11, taking care of the details made the big picture picture-perfect. Co-chairs were Linda Ford of Farragut and Carole Whited of Halls. A host of garden clubs, led on every level by the talented women in District IV, made sure guests, speakers and visiting dignitaries were welcomed and wowed. For example, one of the ballrooms at the Crowne Plaza, host hotel in downtown Knoxville, was an explosion of color at 7 a.m. on Thursday morning as members of the Dixie Highway,

Erica Lambert with Dixie Lee Greenhouse was one of the lucky vendors for the garden club convention.

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Graft provides lifeline to normal life The official name of the small Gore-Tex tube that connects an artery and vein in Christine Jones’ arm is an “Arterial Venous Graft” or AVG, but she calls it her “lifeline.” The tiny implanted tube provides easy access to Christine’s bloodstream. Because she has a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder, the 41-year-old must undergo Dr. Willard Campbell weekly plasmapheresis treatments. Plasmapheresis is a blood purification process in which a patient’s blood is withdrawn, and the plasma is separated, cleansed and returned to the body.

Christine needs the blood treatments to live. “I’ve been machine dependant since I was 14-years old,” she explains. Having the permanent arm graft means that Christine can undergo plasmapheresis in a safer, more convenient way. Before the arm graft, Christine’s blood treatments were done through a catheter in her leg via her femoral artery. She says she definitely prefers the graft in her forearm. “It’s less painful and an easier access site. It’s beautiful to me, because I can function and be active. This is wonderful technology,” she says. Christine’s graft was surgically placed in her left arm seventeen years ago by vascular surgeon Dr. Willard Campbell of Premier

cular Access Center for years. “I’ve gotten to know the staff well and consider them family,” says Christine. “Dr. Campbell is an excellent surgeon and just a wonderful person. He’s worked with me over the years to keep my graft healthy.” Dr. Campbell says an arterial venous graft can last for many years if it’s well taken care of. “It’s a long-term team effort A permanent graft in her arm helps that involves the physician and Christine Jones (pictured with her patient,” he explains.

Rx for recovery

Pharmacist discusses medicines used to treat mental illness Call them psychotropics, psychoactives or psychopharmaceuticals. Whatever you call these medications, Peninsula Pharmacist Cheryl Gray says they are merely one tool that aids in recovery from mental illness. “What works better: drugs or therapy?” Gray asks. “Research has shown the answer is always therapy. Sometimes, therapy AND drugs, but always therapy. Therapy will help you look at your life in a different way so that it isn’t so scary. Therapy can help you gain coping skills that can prevent you from having issues in the future.” Still, she estimates that “almost 100 percent” of the patients at Peninsula, a 155-bed in-patient psychiatric hospital in Louisville, Tenn., are prescribed at least one of these medications which act upon the central nervous system, resulting in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition and/or behavior. “It’s possible to treat some mental illnesses without drugs, but it’s really, really difﬁcult,” says Gray, who has headed Peninsula’s pharmacy for 11 years. “Sure, you can walk 10 miles to your grandmother’s house, but it sure is easier to take a car.

schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or people who have long-term or severe depression or anxiety may need to take medication for a much longer time. “Antidepressants can help you feel happier and more energetic while you work on what life event is causing you stress,” Gray says. “Mood stabilizers can help you focus while you work on developing good coping skills. Anti-psychotics, if taken regularly, can help you maintain your current quality of life.” The challenge of successfully combining drugs with therapy can come on several fronts, including insurance coverage, prescription limits and drug costs. “The most ineffective drug is the one a patient cannot afford,” she says. The second most ineffective drug? The one the patient doesn’t take as directed. “When patients start to feel better, many think they don’t need to keep taking their medicines,” she said. “Or maybe the side effects are too bothersome, so they quit. What we lose sight of is that it takes time to ﬁ x the problem. You didn’t get depressed overnight, and it’s going to take time to retime. For example, a person with cover.

An ear–tipped cat When you get to know various animal welfare groups in the area, one fact becomes readily apparent. There are a whole lot of good people around here.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner Distressing news from Boston can’t change that. The good people still outnumber the bad ones. The good people still win. Take for instance the Feral Feline Friends (FFF). This compassionate, dedicated group works to manage feral cat colonies by trapping individual cats humanely, having them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and releasing them

back to their home colonies. They socialize the ones they can and adopt them out to loving homes. If you’ve ever had dealings with feral cats, you know that many won’t come near humans. They pass that fear on to their babies. And they have lots of babies. In seven years, a female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens. Yes, you read that right. It’s mind-boggling. Spay/neutering helps to keep the population down, although Diane Stephens, financial officer of FFF, says “sometimes we feel like we’re knocking our heads against the wall.” FFF also offers education about feral colonies and the importance of spay/neutering. And last year they got 300 cats adopted, quite a feat. FFF receives no grants. Stephens says, “In the beginning, it was a struggle. Now we have a good group of donors, but we’re always looking for support.”

Volunteers help make Feral Feline Friends’ recent pancake breakfast a success. Pictured are (front) Cricket Lynch; (back) Hailey Brooks, Bonnie Saas, Elsa Nownes, Deb Marsh and Maxwell Nownes. Photos by Carol Zinavage

The Friends had a pancake breakfast fundraiser April 20. The folks at the North Peters Road Applebee’s generously provided their space for two hours, and the event was a big success. Pancakes, sausage and coffee for the welfare of wild cats – delicious and fun! And there were plenty of T-shirts for sale, as well as handmade cat toys provided by Melissa Carlisle of “The Purrfect Life.” By the way, the universal sign for a feral cat that has been “doctored” is a tipped left ear. That’s how you can tell. If you see an ear-tipped cat, leave it be. It’s already been helped; it’s already at home and doesn’t need the shelter, which is, let’s face it, overcrowded and necessarily prone to euthanasia. FFF gives these cats a

Foster grandparent program is a win-win By Sara Barrett When Veronica Johnson discusses her 15 foster grandchildren, she can’t stop smiling. “It gives you a reason to get up in the morning,” she says. Johnson comes to the Fair Garden School in East Knoxville for about four hours a day as part of Knox County Community Action Committee’s foster grandparent program. Any Knox County resident over the age of 55 can participate and share their talents and knowledge with future community leaders. “Granny V”, as Johnson is known to the students, will visit with a group of about four or five kids at a time and encourage them in whatever lesson they’re studying. She reads, sings and exercises with them, and helps them to see that “no matter what

Foster grandparent Veronica Johnson spends some time with 4-year-old Dominique Stewart and her friend Clifford. Photo by S. Barrett they’re going through (in life), it will be OK.” She has participated in the program for four years. “If you need love, this is

the place to be. And if you help give these kids a good foundation, they will grow to be flowers instead of weeds.” The foster grandparent program was established in 1976. There are currently 110 volunteers and the county hopes to expand the program in the near future to the Bearden, Halls and Powell communities. Johnson would tell other seniors who are considering participating that “they are needed.” “If you’re not working, this will keep your mind going. It is a wonderful resource for seniors who have a lot to give to the next generation.” Volunteer training consists of 40 hours spread over a two week period. The CAC will host a volunteer training class in May. Info: Andrea, 524-2786.

Rahman chose to relocate to Knoxville because her husband, a cardiologist, is from the Knoxville area, and they wanted to be close to family.

She chose to join Elizabeth Anderson Dermatology because she felt a real kinship with the practice’s founder, Dr. Elizabeth Anderson. “She stood out to me because she was the only one who was dermatopathology-trained in Knoxville,” said Rahman. “We have a similar background, and I just knew she was the one. She has an excellent reputation and a good heart.”
