Carol Erikson focuses on photography

By Carolyn Evans

An environmental analytical chemist in Oak Ridge says that her left-brain job and her right-brain hobby are the perfect formula for success. Carol Erikson’s photography hobby took off about eight years ago, and she is now enjoying showcasing her work as the featured artist for June at the Farragut Town Hall. Her photo exhibit, called “Images That Inspire,” is on display on the second floor through the end of the month. “I had always enjoyed photogTo page A-3

Business community favors

multi-unit housing, says FBA By Wendy Smith Allison Sousa, executive director of the Farragut Business Alliance, told the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen that 74 percent of those who participated in a survey conducted by the organization expressed unqualified support for multi-unit housing in the town. Sousa spoke during the Citizens Forum at last week’s FBMA meeting. The survey was sent to the FBA’s mailing list of 872, which is primarily businesses, but also residents and other interested parties. The email survey stated that the FBA was collecting input specifically regarding perceived impact of multi-unit housing on business and asked business owners, managers and developers if they supported or did not support multi-unit housing in Farragut, and why or why not. There were 35 responses. Twenty-six, or 74 percent, expressed unqualified support. Three, or 9 percent, expressed qualified support. Six, or 17 percent, expressed opposition.

Farragut AmeriCorps member Nicole Stevens gives an end-of-year presentation to the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Her activities this year included educating the public about recycling and water quality, virtual mapping of greenways and creating a Trash Monster for Earthfest. Photo by Wendy Smith The FBA supports Continental Properties’ request to rezone property on Smith Road for apartments, she said. Steve Stowe spoke for individuals who have concerns over the

town’s new logo and strapline. The FBMA at its May 14 meeting unanimously approved graphics and a strapline recommended by a committee that worked closely with branding company North Star Destination Strategies. The strapline is “Farragut: Live closer. Go further.” Stowe expressed concern about the strapline, the logo and the color, as well as the cost of the branding effort. He asked the FBMA to be open to making changes and to go to the community for input. Mayor Ralph McGill admitted that he isn’t overly fond of the logo but says he thinks he can warm up to it. He recommended that concerned citizens listen to Destination Strategies’ presentation. David Purvis, who was on the branding committee, said the graphics were based on extensive research about how the community sees itself. Sousa, another member of the committee, said the branding process provided ample opportunity for community input. After the Citizens Forum, the Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Budget was

approved on second reading with minor tweaks to two contracts. The rezoning of 15.385 acres on Everett Road from R-1 to R-1 OSR was approved on first reading. The board approved a new lease agreement with Crown Castle for the telecommunications tower on Fretz Road. The new lease replaces the current lease, which was scheduled to expire in 2020, said assistant town administrator Gary Palmer. Under the new lease, which is for two 10-year terms, the town will receive a $30,000 signing bonus and $15,000 per year until 2020, when base rent will go up to $30,000 per year. Rent is currently $8,213 per year. The board approved a contract with Municode to recodify the town’s municipal code and zoning and subdivision regulations. The code hasn’t been recodified in 15 years, said town recorder Allison Myers. The 12-month process will revamp and reorganize the code and will ensure that it’s consistent with state law. The town has budgeted $17,000 for the project.

New John Bean tape discovered By Betty Bean The caller ID showed a Knox County government number when my phone rang last Monday morning, so I figured the call was going to be something that would put me to work. I was pleasantly surprised when the voice on the other end turned out to be that of Bradley Reeves of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound (TAMIS). It’s always something good when Bradley calls, because he’s doing remarkable work down there in the bowels of the East Tennessee History Center where he and his wife, Louisa Trott, are preserving ephemeral pieces

of our regional history and discovering forgotten gems. So I knew it was going to be good. Maybe some heretofore -u n k now n Cas Walker stuff? Some old newsreel nobody knew existed? But when he said he suspected that he’d found a brand new John Bean tape, it almost blew me out of my chair. After all, my brother died 31 years ago, long before his crazy prank calls and off-kilter humor made him the Whupass Man – AKA LeRoy Mercer, the Rev.

Splash pads are open. Parks with playgrounds, sports fields, walking and biking trails and just good ole green spaces are nearby. Boredom is sure to set in at some point, because kids are, after all, kids, but there are a lot of good choices inbetween boredom and an August school start. On Saturday, Janice and Lafayette Williams, owners of RiverView Family Farm, are kicking off Father’s Day weekend with a free Family Farm Day. The Williams family hosts community events several times during the year, but this is the first year for a Father’s Day extravaganza. “My husband said that there are all kinds of special events for Mother’s Day, but no one makes a big deal about Father’s Day,” says Janice, with a laugh. “We just decided to open up the farm, pull together some activities and let families come out and have a fun Saturday to honor their fathers.”

core program. Jonathan Levenshus had an eScore audit last fall. He was waiting for the right time to have an energy audit when his HVAC unit quit working. The company that installed the new system suggested he contact TVA. He followed the auditor’s advice and upgraded lighting, filled gaps in insulation and tightened ductwork. “It was a quick and easy way to find out how my home could be more efficient and I could have reduced electric bills. It’s more comfortable, and I supported the local economy.” Such programs reduce air pollution and carbon emissions, which also helps the economy by drawing business to the area, he says. Improving energy efficiency is an investment that pays off. The cost of attic insulation can be paid for through savings in as little

as six months, Gorenflo says. Levenshus’ home is just 15 years old, but he thinks contractor-grade appliances reduced its energy efficiency. Gorenflo says that those who live in older homes, which generally lack proper insulation, could get the most benefit from an eScore audit. Given TVA’s rate increase in October, now is the time to make changes, she says.

Letter to Dave and Butch Rarely do I receive copies of letters sent to Dave Hart and Butch Jones but I got one from another of the Jones boys, old friend Doug, retired wealth manager, dedicated fan, downtown Ooltewah. He flattered the powers that be by acknowledging how much they treasure Tennessee tradition and asked that they consider proper recognition of the 50th anniversary of the 1965 football team. Doug Jones’ opinion matters. And, what’s more, I agree with him. The ’65 Volunteers opened the door to good times. The memories are priceless.

There are two ways to get an eScore audit.

Shrewd athletic director Bob Woodruff had previously declared Memphis a neutral site and signed UCLA for an early December game when the Bruins weren’t paying attention to the fine print.

The Swamp Rat answered that skeptical question with a better question: “Did an official raise his hands?” Losing coach Tommy Prothro, Memphis native, berated the striped shirts and said he was embarrassed to be a Southerner. At the Houston bowl game, another jolly good time was had by all. Tennessee topped Tulsa in the rain. The UT defense performed well in ’65. Linebacker Frank Emanuel was an All-American. He said linebacker Tom Fisher was better. End Bobby Frazier made all-SEC. Bob Petrella intercepted four passes. Offense was good enough. Walter Chadwick was the leading runner. Warren, a sophomore, completed 44 of 79 for 588 yards

and three scores. Johnny Mills caught 23 passes. David Leake kicked 39 points. Sophomore Bob Johnson was center. Paul Naumoff was a defensive end. Ron Widby was the punter. The lineup had some other unforgettable guys – John Boynton, Bobby Gratz, Charlie Fulton, Jim Lowe, Bill Cameron, Mack Gentry, Robbie Franklin, Doug Archibald, Harold Stancell, Jerry Smith, Austin Denney, Gerald Woods, Stan Mitchell, maybe others a little less unforgettable. Note to Hart and Jones: Honoring the ’65 Volunteers need not be a loss leader. Old fans would pay double for a Friday dinner with tall tales for dessert. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Carson enters race The anatomy of a deal Tim Burchett is a master politician, but Jim McIntyre proved last week he’s not too shabby.

From the folks who brought you Tracie Sanger (Fountain City school board), comes Karen Carson, who formally announced her candidacy last week for the state House seat from District 14. Deep into her third term on the Knox County school board, Carson is solidly entrenched in the Farragutarea district, having been active in PTA before entering politics. She’s a pediatric nurse of 35 years who works Karen Carson at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. With the election just eight weeks away, Carson has a website and a Facebook page with 200 likes as of Sunday. Her announcement press release came from Collin Thompson, the successful campaign manager for Richard Briggs against Stacey Campfield. Her most likely opponent, Jason Zachary, still has his website from 2014 when he tried to unseat U.S. Rep. John Duncan. He’s also scrambling to buy a house and move into the district. At least he’s got yard signs, if he just snips off that part about Congress. Carson matches Sanger’s capacity to raise tons of cash quickly. She’s got name recognition and an organization. A little cloud rose out of the sea when Lauren Hopson, incoming president of the Knox County Education Association, told board members the disrespected teachers would remember them, “no matter what office you run for.” Carson says, “Our campaign message is simple: we must keep taxes low to secure a growing economy, we must spend tax dollars wisely, provide safe neighborhoods, encourage job growth, and ensure our children have every educational opportunity they need to succeed – from quality schools, to well-paid, effective teachers.” She talks of “the great leadership of Gov. Bill Haslam …” Ryan Haynes was a strong Haslam ally. Carson would be another. The Carson-Zachary primary will be Wednesday, Aug. 12, in this heavily Republican district, with the special election Tuesday, Sept. 29, to coincide with the Knoxville city election. Qualifying petitions are available from the Knox County Election Commission, and the qualifying deadline is noon Thursday, July 2. Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections, had some juggling to do with the primaries. Notice it’s on Wednesday, an odd day for elections. That’s because every voting place in state House District 14 is at a school, and the week of Aug. 10 is the first week of school. After talking with folks at Knox County Schools, he determined the “least disruptive” day would be the third day back – a Wednesday. Rodgers said early voting sites will be at Farragut High School, Downtown West and the Knox County Courthouse. Farragut Town Hall is “booked” every day and won’t be a voting site, Rodgers said. – S.

We saw Burchett and McIntyre fist-bump after announcing an agreement that funds teacher raises and promised bonuses while building new middle schools at Gibbs and Hardin Valley. All without a tax increase. Sunday’s TV pundits called it a win-win, while the News Sentinel predictably called building a new school at Gibbs a “major flaw” in the agreement. Somebody said it’s “just politics.” Politics? We’re shocked! What about these kids:

■ Live in Bearden but attend West High School, while kids on the Loudon County line attend Bearden. ■ Live west of Clinton Highway and zoned to Karns High, while kids up to I-640 are bused to Powell. ■ Live a stone’s throw from Halls Elementary, but bused to Copper Ridge and housed in portables. ■ Live in Holston Hills, but bused to Carter Middle. ■ Zoned to Northwest Middle, but scattered to five high schools: Central, Fulton, Karns, Powell or West. Is this politics or good planning? Tim Burchett negotiated a deal to prevent bad publicity through his term by forcing the BOE to present a budget within revenue projections developed by the county’s finance department. Additionally, he gets credit for building two new schools without raising taxes, funding teacher raises

Fifty-nine years ago, 12 black students went to high school. Although it doesn’t seem like a big deal nowadays, back then it changed a community forever. On Aug. 27, 1956, 12 black students attended Clinton High School for the very first time. Clinton High had never had black students before, so it was a bit of an adjustment for the white students. Contrary to the rest of the South during the Civil Rights movement, the residents of Clinton had accepted the court mandate to desegregate, even if they didn’t agree with integration. That peace lasted about a day. John Kasper had come into town with hate in his heart and a desire to start

There is little doubt that an effort will be made also at the state level to raise the gas tax next year. Question will be whether the gover-

nor will back it. Mayor Rogero was actively involved in the visit but did not say whether she backs a revenue increase. Combined federal and state gas tax hikes, if enacted, could exceed 30 cents a gallon. Lawmakers thinking of voting for this would do well to review the results of the May 4 statewide referendum in Michigan where the Republican governor and GOP Legislature placed a sales tax hike referendum before the voters with the pledge that part of it would go to build roads. Michigan voters, who tend to be more liberal than Tennessee voters, rejected this tax increase by a margin of 80 to 20 percent. People who campaigned

and bonuses, and putting the Andrew Johnson Building back on the tax rolls. Jim McIntyre gets $3 million toward bonuses and teacher raises, fulfilling his school board’s chief objective; he strokes board members Mike McMillan and Terry Hill by achieving funding for their middle schools; and he gets his administrative staff out of the inefficient AJ Building. Burchett gave up nothing – a one-time $3 million in exchange for a 3-year phase-out of his $3 million per year reading initiative is a good swap.

Located at the southeast corner of Watt Rd. and Kingston Pk.

McIntyre agreed to $1 million in administrative cuts – probably two or three positions in the central office and instructional coaches for high schools. Burchett had little to do with McIntyre’s biggest setback – the apparent loss of funding for bonuses based on evaluations. McIntyre prefers differentiated pay to across-the-boards raises, but this program died when three former teachers and a retired school counselor joined McMillan on the school board. Without a common-sense evaluation method or a stream of state or federal funding, kiss APEX good-bye. Is the Burchett-McIntyre agreement perfect? No. Does it beat standing across the room and throwing rocks? Absolutely. Both men deserve credit for continuing to talk through differences until an agreement was reached. in 1956, the police were protecting the lives of innocent black youth. Nowadays, police brutality is common with people like Michael Brown and Eric Garner allegedly being subject to unnecessary, excessive force that resulted in their deaths. The purpose of a police department is to protect the peace, but how is the peace being protected if police are using illegal chokeholds on suspects who aren’t resisting and shooting unarmed teenagers? The story of the Clinton 12 shows a time and place where the police protected black lives. Almost 60 years later, why is that not the case nationwide?

comprised of Clinton citizens. After they were overwhelmed, the National Guard arrived, staying for a month, to help bring order back to Clinton. Two years later in October of 1958, the school was bombed. It took another seven years for all grades to be integrated in 1965, a year after full integration in Knoxville. Going to the Green McAdoo Cultural Center and examining all the history makes it look like, well, history. That is far from the truth. Although the actions of segregationists are in the past, the attitudes of prejudice and racism are not. Many things have changed for the better, such as desegregation, but some have changed for the worse. For example, in Clinton

where it languished for five years. The delays became so obvious that Chief Justice Sharon Lee asked for an update on the matter after she pledged a top to bottom review of Tennessee’s judicial structure. Hopefully, 5-year delays will not occur in the future when an indictment for homicide or any crime occurs. Whiteside has been a political operative over the years, generally linked to Republicans. His attorney, Greg Isaacs, has been successful in getting reduced sentences for his clients such as Mike Lowe, who will serve seven months for stealing over $400,000 from taxpayers and never apologizing. Whiteside will serve seven years for this homicide. ■ David Hutchins,

with 15 years on the KCDC board and its past chair, is about to depart from the board due to Mayor Rogero’s decision not to re-appoint anyone who has served two terms. This means KCDC will not have anyone on its board who has served more than three years. Former Knox County school board chair Dan Murphy was chosen KCDC chair and Jackie Arthur is vice chair. This short-sighted policy of regularly removing people after two terms has thrown away considerable institutional knowledge and prevented Knoxville from having leaders in several national associations. While length of service is a valid consideration, knowledge, attendance, energy, concern and views on the key issues are equally valid and should not be discarded.

Powerful start to a day in Clinton By Shannon Carey Shopper-News interns started June 8 with a solemn, eye-opening visit to the Green McAdoo Cultural Center in Clinton. The center tells the story of the Clinton 12, high school students who integrated Clinton High School in 1956. Administrator Marilyn Hayden said the integration started in a peaceful manner, but outside influences stirred up protests and violence against the students and their supporters.

Hayden’s brother, Ronald, was one of the Clinton 12. She wasn’t yet born in 1956, but the history is important to her. “If I didn’t value it and give up a job to come here, it would say something about the legacy,” she said. The center opened in 2006, on the 50th anniversary of the Clinton 12’s fateful walk down the hill to Clinton High School. All but one of the surviving Clinton 12 attended. “They reacted with tears. They were just over-

whelmed,” said Hayden. “They finally realized that somebody was paying attention and somebody cared.” This year, the center will host a reunion weekend Aug. 28-30, on the 50th anniversary of the Green McAdoo School closing to students. Admission to the center is free, but donations are appreciated. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Info: www.greenmcadoo. org

This week the number of interns for the ShopperNews doubled. The group added two interns from last year and four who are taking their first-time adventure. Zoe Brookshire-Risley, a rising sophomore at West High School is back for another summer. Zoe enjoys playing the ukulele, writing songs, climbing and acting. When asked what she wants to do in the future, Zoe said that she “wants to make a change.” She will study activism and fight for equality and the rights of all human beings. Laken Scott also returns for another summer with the interns. Laken is a rising sophomore at Hardin Valley Academy. She enjoys reading and photography. In the future, Laken would like to become a social worker or open a bookshop/café. If she could have lunch with anyone in the world, Laken

would pick Steve Carrell, but says that he would have to act like Michael Scott from “The Office” the entire time. Anne Marie Higginbotham is a homeschooled student and will begin her sophomore year in the fall. She enjoys drawing, reading and photography. In the future, Anne Marie would like to open a café. If she could have lunch with anyone, it would be Taylor Swift. Bailey Lemmons will be in the ninth grade at Central High in the fall. She enjoys writing stories, softball and drawing. Bailey hopes to be a nurse in a thirdworld country and be a fictional author on the side. If she could dine with anyone in the world, it would be Cassandra Claire, the author of one of Bailey’s favorite book series. She would hope to get great writing

tips from Claire and ask her about certain characters. Amanda McDonald will be in the eighth grade at Gresham Middle School in the fall. She enjoys traveling, photography and drawing. Her plans include traveling a lot and documenting her adventures with her camera. She would love to have lunch with John Green because she calls him “an amazing author” and believes it would be interesting to know how he gets his story ideas. Maggie Williams is a rising tenth grader at Farragut High School. She enjoys reading and cross-stitching. Although she isn’t positive on her plans for the future, Maggie thinks she might enjoy teaching English or math. Maggie would love to have lunch with Jimmy Fallon and would want him to do impressions the entire time.

Last week on our trip to Green McAdoo Cultural Center in Clinton, the most surprising thing to me was the cruel hate mail that some white people sent to the Rev. Paul Turner, a local Baptist minister who spoke in support of the Clinton 12, the black students who integrated Clinton High School. These letters were so hate-filled that I had mixed emotions about reading them. I couldn’t believe that some people would say

such unkind things to other people based on skin color. And I wanted to read more to find out what other people said in support of the Clinton 12. I could only imagine how scared but brave the Clinton 12 must have been. It was interesting to see other interns’ reactions and opinions regarding the Clinton 12. I am so glad that times have changed so all students, regardless of skin color, can go to school together.

Grinning, Varner said he was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to get your autograph!â&#x20AC;? said Abi. Varner, and the entire staff of Ray Varner Ford in Clinton, greeted the Shopper-News interns like family June 8, providing a delicious lunch and showing the interns every aspect of the car business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My advice to young people starting in any business is to work hard and do right, keep a great attitude and be thankful, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be successful,â&#x20AC;? said Varner. And he certainly lives up to his own advice. Varner attended Halls schools, then Roane State and UT after graduation. In 1986, at age 22, Varner gave car sales a try. It was a perfect fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love people, I love cars, and I love talking to people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see and you meet all walks of life. When you approach a customer, you need to give them the most respect, no matter how they look.â&#x20AC;? Varner said the fast pace of changing technology has been a challenge over the

Advice from Ray Varner By Lauren Gaines Ray Varner has been working in the car business for quite a while. However, in July 2010, he announced the opening of his own dealership, Ray Varner Ford. Now, Ray, his daughter, his wife, and two cousins are proud to be a

By Shannon Carey Interns had a blast combing the aisles of Hammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department Store in Clinton for unique finds and discount buys. Several came out loaded with purchases. Our sincere apologies to their parents! Kelly Calhoun and his mother, Margaret Hammer Calhoun, welcomed interns to their store and gave them a brief history of Hammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you come in here to shop, you actually meet the family that runs the business,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. It all started in 1941 when Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-great-grandfather, A. B. Hammer, opened a salvage goods store in Guntersville, Ala. The store grew, and the Hammer children and their spouses opened more stores in Alabama and Tennessee, passing these stores to their own children.

The Hammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stores no longer sell salvage, but they do look for deals. The family visits New York and Las Vegas to find merchandise at a low price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say a manufacturer cut too many pieces of clothing,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might buy those extras and sell them. We are synonymous with low prices.â&#x20AC;? Interns asked if Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children are expected to take over the store one day. He said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the kids in the family to try it out first,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to work it and they need to love it if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be part of it.â&#x20AC;?

Rogero is celebrity whistle blower at Roller Derby

KAT winners Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) recently held its annual “Roadeo” competition and Safety Lunch at Chilhowee Park, with bus operators and maintenance personnel competing for trophies that indicate the best of the best. In addition to the technical course and competition, 111 operators and 34 maintenance personnel were given safety awards. Winners in the Van competition are: first place, Dean Pruitt; second place, Maurice Mobley; and third place, Greg Davis. Winners in the 40-foot Bus competition are: first place, Greg Davis; second place, Dean Pruitt; and third place, Tina Hayes. Winners in the Maintenance competition are: first place, Chris Click; second

place, Chad Crabtree; and third place, Mike McAmis. An honorable mention was given to David Webb Jr. for being the only competitor to get the engine started in the third portion of the competition. Dean Pruitt, Greg Davis, Wendell Mobley, Chris Click, Chad Crabtree and Mike McAmis will represent KAT at the state competition in Chattanooga in November. Kenny Dunlap and Ted Jones received the highest award, for 38 years of accident-free bus operations, and Mike McAmis received an award for 41 years of injuryfree workplace safety. KAT currently has 35 bus operators in the “Million Mile” club – meaning that they have driven more than one million miles accident-free.

April and 56 more than the total registered transfers last May. There was also a notable increase in the aggregate value of property sold in May, as some $218 million worth of land changed hands. The figure bested April’s total by more than $40 million. By comparison, around $187 million worth of real estate was transferred in Knox County during May 2014.

Although property sales have trended upward this spring, the most significant surge has been in mortgage lending and refinancing. May produced a real estate loan aggregate of nearly $373 million in the county, compared to just $251 million during the same period last year. The most notable real estate sale in May was a $7.5 million transfer to Lease Fund I LLC for improved commercial property at the

corner of Clinton Highway and Merchant Drive. The largest lending transaction was a Deed of Trust in the amount of $26,080,700 on the Amberleigh Bluff Apartments complex near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Cedar Bluff Road. Property sales in 2015 are now about 500 transfers ahead of last year’s pace, while total mortgage lending continues to run nearly $400 million ahead of 2014.

Social Security is most Americans’ largest retirement asset. And today, like every day, some 10,000 baby boomers will reach retirement age and become eligible to receive Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, the Social Security system is ridiculously complex. Wes Brown, CFP® When you consider that Social Security’s handbook has in excess of 2,700 separate rules governing its benefits, determining the right strategy is nearly impossible to do on your own. It is critical to get this right. Simply taking benefits at the earliest possible time without any strategizing can cost almost everyone a lot of money. Many people don’t understand that there is often more than one benefit available to them and there are different strategies for taking those benefits. To make matters worse, the folks at the local Social Security offices routinely tell people things that aren’t correct about what benefits they can and can’t receive, and when they can

receive them. Before filing to receive Social Security benefits, here are some things to think about: ■ If you start taking Social Security before your Full Retirement Age (FRA), the benefits are subject to an early retirement reduction for every month you do so. That includes widow(er) benefits available to current and former spouses. Conversely, the Social Security Administration raises your personal retirement benefit for every month you wait to claim your benefits beyond your FRA. This Delayed Retirement Credit is eight percent per year until you turn age 70. ■ Speaking generally, it’s best to wait until age 70 to start collecting retirement benefits. About half of Americans choose to collect at age 62 because they have no other savings, but the payout in real dollars (inflation adjusted) is 76 percent higher if you start collecting at age 70 than if you start at age 62. For example, if your Social Security retirement benefit was going to be $1,000 per month at age 66, it would be reduced 25 percent to $750 if you claimed benefits at age 62. However, if you didn’t start collecting until age 70, the benefit would increase 32

percent (four times the eight percent annual increase) to $1,320. ■ If you stay married for a full 10 years prior to getting divorced, then you and your (former) spouse will qualify later for what would be called divorced spousal and divorced widow(er) benefits. Keep in mind that if you later remarry, you generally cannot collect benefits on your former spouse’s record unless your later marriage ends (whether by death, divorce or annulment). ■ If dependents need money more quickly, it might be better to file at age 62, suspend at age 66, and then re-file at age 70. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize your longer-term payout. The bottom line: Social security is complicated and there’s no one plan for everybody. Unfortunately, Social Security has some nasty provisions that mean taking the wrong benefits at the wrong time can cause you to get smaller benefits forever. Even still, 60 percent of people file for Social Security benefits without talking to anybody about it. Take the time before you file to make sure you collect the right Social Security benefits at the right time. It will be one of the biggest and most valuable financial decisions you’ll ever make.

If you don’t feel confident that you know which Social Security strategy is best for you and your family, please contact

Superheroes

and

By Carol Shane

If you haven’t been to the Knoxville Zoo yet to see those two brand-new baby Western lowland gorillas, this is a good weekend to go. And it’s a chance for your own small fry to be a very big deal. “Superhero Saturday” happens this Saturday, and children under 12 dressed as their favorite superheroes get in free with one paid adult admission. Your young costumed crime fighters will get to meet Spider-Man and Captain America themselves, and enjoy crafts and activities in addition to animal adventures. By the way, those tiny great apes are just the newest tots to hit the scene. A recent post on the Knoxville Zoo’s Facebook page brags, “Though the gorilla babies certainly are a huge deal, they are not the only babies we have. Our Chacoan peclets are getting bigger and coming to the fence more often.” These baby peccaries – hoofed mammals that resemble wild boars – came along in the middle of the day on March 31, surprising and delighting the staff of the zoo. Not least because they’re on the endangered list. Susan Petrunio, one of the zoo’s mammal keepers, points out that there are only 300 such animals in the wild. According to Petrunio, 16 zoos host Chacoan peccary populations, and the Knoxville Zoo is one of only nine zoos accredited to breed the mammals. So, while a baby peccary may not inspire the “awww” factor the way a baby gorilla

University of Tennessee and Asbury Theological Seminary. After his ordination, he served briefly as pastor of Jacksboro United Methodist Church in Campbell County, but his true interest was service to the children of central Africa. Doug knew that education and health services were the primary need in the area and that the survival rate among infants could be increased only through these Malcolm two ministries.

Douglas Crowder: A man who made a difference

If there is one thing I have learned over the past 77 years it is that people who contribute to the betterment of humanity are usually just ordinary people who seized the opportunity when it was presented. Certainly this was the case with the Rev. Douglas L. Crowder, a Methodist missionary who grew up in the Concord/Farragut area and became recognized internationally as one of the leading missionary-educators in Africa’s Central Congo area. Doug’s father, Thomas E. Crowder, taught science at Farragut High School for many years, and I personally remember him as an

schools and several churches that drew children from remote areas where they had no opportunity for education. The Crowders solved this problem by building a boarding hostel near the schools where children from remote areas could live and study under more favorable conditions. But most important, they served as parents to the children during their stay. Doug also served as administrator of the high schools in addition to his teaching responsibilities, and he coordinated medical services to ensure the students received good health checks and ate healthy food. Gardening was an important part of the education; children were exposed to vegetables not common to the area. His children remember him as a humble spirit who showed genuine compassion in his ministry. Doug was also fluent in several languages and dialects, which helped him communicate effectively with community leaders.

In 1964, civil unrest in the area that had been going on for some time exploded in all-out warfare between rebel communist forces and national forces. And Doug and Elaine were caught up in the hostilities. Finally, at the rural mission camp at Womba Nyamn, they found themselves in an area that was under complete control by the rebels. In most cases the rebels had simply asked the physicians and missionaries to evacuate, but at Womba Nyamn they held the Crowder family, along with four other families, hostage under house arrest. During the fighting, one of the physicians held hostage was killed. Civil unrest continued for three decades and created an environment of uncertainty in that it was impossible to tell what tomorrow might bring. And for a time, Doug Crowder was an important link with the U.S. State Department to provide information as to what was going on in the

area. One declassified communication asked his assessment of the condition on the ground. Doug retired in 1996 and returned to East Tennessee, where he remained active as minister of congregational care at Central United Methodist Church in Lenoir City. Prison ministries was one of Doug’s most fulfilling ministries. Doug passed away on Feb. 20, 2010. He liked classical music and the theatre, and I was fortunate to have met him at several performances at Clarence Brown Theatre where we had the opportunity to talk and reminisce. Doug is not someone I would have thought would gain international acclaim in his field. But people who make a difference are often those who follow their passion and leave a legacy that remains long after their passing. And I am sure there are many former students in the central Congo area who are living a better life today because of Doug and Elaine Crowder.

Edward Terry Sanford, Part II (1865-1930) Edward Terry Sanford entered the Preparatory Department of East Tennessee University as a junior in 1876 at only 11 years of age. He had obtained a waiver of the usual age requirement. The East Tennessee University received the Land Grant designation in 1869 and the state Legislature renamed it the University of Tennessee in 1879 just in time for Edward T. Sanford to matriculate. Again he had to obtain a waiver as he was only 14 and the requirement was age 16. He graduated from UT in 1883 with both the A.B. and Ph.B. degrees. He “wanted to carry his mind and career beyond the contemporary Knoxville Lawyers,” so he chose not to “read law” in the office of a practicing attorney as was the custom at the time. Rather, he chose an academic route by first attending Harvard’s Literature Department with advanced standing as a junior and graduated in 1885 with a B.A. degree in political science, magna cum laude. After studying languages and economics in Germany and France for a year, he entered Harvard Law School and graduated cum laude in 1889, having edited the Harvard Law Review

Jim Tumblin

for a time. Sanford now had five earned degrees: A.B. and Ph.B. (UT) and B.A., M.A., LL.B. (Harvard). When he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Warren G. Harding in 1923, someone would observe, “Sanford is the most educated justice ever appointed to the Supreme Court.” He returned to Knoxville and began an 18-year career with the law firm of Lucky, Sanford and Fowler. He proved to be an able attorney, continued his studies of history and became active in local politics. On Jan. 6, 1891, he married Lutie Mallory Woodruff (1866-1939), daughter of prominent local merchant, W.W. Woodruff. Having been elected president of the UT Alumni Association, Sanford was chosen to deliver the Centennial Address which he titled “Blount College and the University of Tennessee.” The address was so im-

pressive that the university published it and it was used for many years as a history of the university. He also became a lecturer in the law school and, by 1897, had been made a trustee of the university. Like his father, he involved himself in numerous civic activities, joined the Tennessee Historical Society, served as a trustee of the Lawson McGhee Library and as president of the Bar Association of Tennessee. During this time, the Sanfords welcomed their two daughters into the family circle: Dorothy (Metcalfe) in 1891 and Anna McGhee (Cameron) in 1892. In 1900 Sanford assumed his father’s long-time position as a trustee of the East Tennessee Female Institute, a pioneering school for girls. In 1907 President Theodore Roosevelt appointed Sanford as a U.S. District Attorney. Only one year later, he was appointed Judge of the U.S. District Court for the middle and eastern districts of Tennessee. For the next 15 years he distinguished himself on the bench. His abiding interest in education led him to take on the responsibility as a trustee of the George Pea-

body College for Teachers in Nashville in 1909. He maintained his rigorous schedule on the bench during World War I but found time to serve numerous causes on the home front. Judge Sanford had met and become friends with William Howard Taft who served as president from 1909-13. For the only time in U.S. history, Harding appointed past-president Taft Chief Justice of the United States where he would serve from 1921-30. Taft was much impressed by Sanford and recommended his appointment to the court. Edward Terry Sanford assumed the high office of Justice of the Supreme Court of the U.S. on Jan. 29, 1923, the only UT graduate and the only Knoxville native to be appointed although five other Tennesseans have served on the court. During his career he rendered 130 opinions most of which were conservative, favoring strict interpretation of the antitrust laws. He was known as the court’s specialist in so-called technical cases involving difficult procedural or statutory matters. The most significant was the Pocket Veto Case (1929)

which clarified the circumstances under which a president could use that power, a question that had lingered for 140 years. But his best known opinion was his majority opinion in the Gitlow v. New York (1925) case, involving a socialist who had published a manifesto which advocated the violent overthrow of the government. The outcome was important but more important than upholding the defendant’s conviction was Justice Sanford’s statement that “we assume that freedom of speech and of the press are among the fundamental liberties protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.” This cornerstone of mod-

ern constitutional jurisprudence – incorporation doctrine – guaranteed that the Bill of Rights extended to the actions of the states. In time, protection for persons accused of crime was assured by extension of other sections of the Bill of Rights to the state courts. Justice Edward Terry Sanford died on March 8, 1930, as a result of uremic poisoning following a tooth extraction, a death which would not have occurred with modern antibiotics. He had served on the court for only seven years. Ironically, Sanford’s longtime friend, former president and recently retired chief justice William Howard Taft, passed away only a short time later that same day. It was customary for all the members of the court to attend the funeral of deceased members so it was necessary that they leave Knoxville immediately after the Sanford funeral to attend Taft’s services in Washington. The photographs of Sanford’s interment service near the 45-foot obelisk at Dr. Kesterson’s family plat in Greenwood Cemetery vividly depict the poignant scene of one of the largest funerals ever held in Knoxville. Lutie Woodruff Sanford survived her husband for another nine years living in Toronto, Canada, with her younger daughter, Anna McGhee Cameron. Sadly, the older daughter, Dorothy S. Metcalfe, had passed away in 1915 at only 23 years of age.

NEWS FROM CONCORD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Head of School

Q&A Q:

Looking back over this past year, we’ve seen continued growth at CCS, celebrated our third graduating class, and you’ve completed your ﬁrst full year as head of school. What are a few of the highlights for you from the 2014 - 2015 school year?

It’s great to see growth in enrollment, athletics, and the ﬁne arts. The high school is established, and our faculty continues to grow in excellence and number. However, the greatest achievement we have seen is a great number of our students who accepted Jesus as their Savior. Now we have the incredible opportunity to disciple these students. Because we choose to give God the glory in our school, He is blessing every other area. I’m excited for what He’s going to do here next.

Concord recently held its third commencement celebration. Congratulations to the CCS Class of 2015! Photo by Ayla LeCoultre, CCS class of 2014

Concord Christian School Middle School

golf team wins state title

The Concord Christian Middle School golf team took home the first state championship in school history recently at Willow Creek Golf Club. The Lions, who start two fifth graders and three seventh graders, earned the title in only their second year as a program and in their first appearance at the State Tournament. The win was a bit surprising, even to their coach William Mayfield, as many of the starters in the East Tennessee Middle School Golf Association (ETMSGA) are eighth graders. “I honestly thought next year was going to be our year. Maryville and LaFollete have historically done very well at this tournament, and the majority of their starters were older. I am ecstatic and proud beyond words of the work the kids have put in to get to this point.” The Lions shot an impressive 336 to defeat defending champion Maryville Middle School by a mere two strokes. Maryville seventh grader Braeden Wear shot a one-over-par 73 to take home the individual championship. It has been a year of narrow victories for Concord Christian as they took home what some of the boys were calling “The Triple Crown.” The Lions defeated North Middle by 3 to win the District 2 Tournament at Avalon Golf Club, and LaFollete Middle by one shot to win the Region 1 Tournament at Wind River. Assistant Coach Roger Hughey knew it might take more than their 361 at Regions to be victorious at State.

“We were very happy with our year to this point and were going to be happy with whatever result we got at State. We have a lot of young guys and saw this as a stepping stone for next year. Everyone just brought their A-game today and we found a way to win.” Concord’s depth was an asset on a day where none of their players finished in the top 3 individually. They were the only team in the field to count 4 scores of 90 or better. “You certainly have to be delighted to get an 82 and an 84 from two fifth graders (Jackson Hughey and Ben Johnston),” said Coach Mayfield. “Then Jeremy (Jones) coming in at 80 and James (Webster) fighting his way to 90 after a tough start was phenomenal. To have four players in the top 11 of a 30-man field, especially when two of those are pretty much the youngest guys in the field, is all you can ask for.” Concord Christian’s girls team was also represented at the State Tournament. They finished fourth as the Maryville Middle School Girls team edged out a victory over defending champion LaFollete Middle. “This was a storybook run to the state championship, and I couldn’t be more proud of these students and their coaches. We look forward to watching this group as they continue to grow and develop.” shared CCS Athletic Director and Former Tennessee basketball player Rob Murphy.

CCS Europe trip 2015 On May 26, 2015, 21 CCS high school students, parents, and teachers headed on an 11-day adventure to Ireland, Wales, London, and Paris. Much excitement was had by all as the group landed in Killarney, Ireland, and headed to the Cliffs of Moher. Fifty mph winds and rain did not deter the CCS tourists from viewing the beautiful cliffs. While in Ireland, the group enjoyed an Irish song and dance show and a couple of days in Dublin with a visit to Blarney Castle where several climbed the many steps of the castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. Following a ferry crossing to Wales to visit Beaumaris Castle, the next venture was to Shakespeare’s birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s home in Stratford-UponAvon and then on to London. Some of the highlights of the time in London were watching the parade of the queen’s guard at Buckingham Palace, an acting class at Globe Theatre, a ride on the London Eye, a visit to Winsor Castle, visit to the British Museum, and attending a performance of “Wicked.” To round out the trip, Paris was the perfect place to end their time in Europe. Visiting the Louvre, Notre Dame, a boat trip on the Seine River (watching the Eiffel Tower twinkle), and trekking deep into the catacombs below the city are just a few of the things they were able to experience. What a great way for these students to experience different parts of the world and learn other cultures!

Father’s positive life habits encouraged customers, inspired family “Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating…” – Renowned UCLA basketball coach John Wooden on fatherhood, in “Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Re ections On and Off the Court” (McGraw-Hill, 1997) Bob Boruff has a warm smile and a relaxed manner that makes conversation easy – exactly the kind of demeanor that served him well during his career as a pharmacist. A Knoxville native, Boruff grew up in Fountain City and graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and pharmacy school at UT-Memphis. He worked for several pharmacies, then joined Ellis & Ernest Drug Stores, which he later bought, and opened another drug store. After 20 years Boruff sold the stores and became a Kroger pharmacist, a position he held until he retired. “Pharmacists are people persons,” he said. “I always tried to encourage customers when they came in to pick up their medications. I tried to offer helpful advice and a positive word that might help them feel better.” Boruff’s positive attitude extended to his home life, where he and his wife, Frances, reared three sons – Jeff, Brian and Gary. “We raised our children in a Christian home – that was key,” said Boruff, who now attends Concord Baptist Church. The family enjoyed a variety of activities together, from boating and hiking to golf and football – they are avid UT fans. Boruff also enjoys reading and vacations to historic sites. Because he was a pharmacist, several of Boruff’s friends were physicians or also in the medical profession, and his son Jeff remembers frequent conversations about medical topics when he was growing up. When it came time to choose a profession,

relax the sciatic nerve. Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows and pinches the nerves, resulting in back and leg pain. In adults 50 years of age and older, the risk of developing spinal stenosis increases. Aging can cause the ligaments (tissues that connect the spine and bones) to become thicker and calci ed, and the disks between vertebrae to break down. Growths called bone spurs may occur on bones and into the spinal canal. All of these conditions tighten the spinal canal. Symptoms of spinal stenosis include pain and dif culty walking, as well as numbness, tingling, a sensation of hot or cold, weakness or a heavy, tired feeling in the legs. A person may also experience clumsiness or frequent falls. Treatment may include pain medication or corticosteroid injections to reduce swelling and pain, posture changes, physical therapy or weight loss. Surgery may also be an option if nonsurgical remedies have not provided signi cant improvement in symptoms or due to development of severe weakness or loss of bowel/bladBob Boruff’s healthy habits have rubbed off on his son, Parkwest physician Dr. Jeff Boruff. der function.

Men’s top health risks

08088-158 -15584

Most men do not take their health as seriously as they should. In order to enjoy more Father’s Days, Jeff Boruff, MD, Parkwest internal medicine physician says adopting preventive measures will increase your odds of living a longer, healthier life. Men should be especially concerned about: 1. Heart disease Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men. Several health conditions can lead to heart disease such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. You can reduce your risk by eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, maintaining a healthy weight and getting regular exercise. If you have diabetes, it is also important to keep your blood sugar levels under control. Take charge of heart health by making healthier lifestyle choices. 2. Cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of death in men, with lung cancer the most prevalent – mostly due to cigarette smoking, according to the American Cancer Society. Lung cancer is followed by prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. If you notice changes that may indicate a problem, do not delay in seeing a doctor. 3. Injuries Many unintentional injuries can be easily prevented. The leading

Important health guidelines for men ■ Get regular check-ups. ■ If you smoke, stop and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke. ■ Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and ber. ■ Cut back on foods that are high in saturated fat. ■ Increase physical activity and maintain a regular exercise program. ■ If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. ■ If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations. ■ If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control. ■ Limit your sun exposure. When you’re outdoors, use sunscreen. ■ Manage stress.

Keeping men healthy cause of fatal accidents among men is motor vehicle crashes, according to the CDC. To reduce your risk of a deadly crash: wear your seat belt; follow the speed limit; don’t drive under the in uence of alcohol or any other substances and don’t drive while sleepy. 4. COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a term used to describe two chronic lung diseases – bronchitis and emphysema. Approximately 85 percent of COPD deaths are related to smoking. If you’re a smoker, talk with your phy-

sician about ways to help you quit. Covenant Health offers a stop smoking app. Visit www.covenanthealth. com/stopsmoking for more information. 5. Stroke While you can’t control some stroke risk factors, such as family history, age and race, you can control others such as tobacco use, weight and stress. Working with your physician to manage any problems with high blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes will also have a positive impact on your overall risk for having a stroke.

Current life expectancy for men in the United States is 77 years on average. For women, that number is 83 years. This may be, in part, to the fact that women tend to be more proactively involved in their healthcare than men. Jeff Boruff, MD “Getting regular check-ups is key to men’s health,” said Jeff Boruff, MD, internal medicine physician at

Parkwest. “Many men come to their physicals saying that their wife made them come. We need to be proactive when it comes to taking care of ourselves.” According to Boruff, when compared to women, men are more likely to: ■ Not have regular physicals ■ Participate in risky or dangerous behaviors ■ Smoke and/or drink Many of the health issues facing men can be prevented or treated if discovered early, often during a routine physical.

NEWS FROM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE

Congratulations Class of 2015!

CAK announces

CAK finishes successful robotics season

boys lacrosse program

Christian Academy of Knoxville is pleased to announce the addition of a boys lacrosse program and will field club teams at both the high school and middle school levels in the spring of 2016. “I am very excited for CAK to begin lacrosse because there is already so much interest and excitement within the school,” said Bob Neu, CAK Head of School. “I look forward to what is in store for CAK Lacrosse.” The teams will be CAK teams, but with club sta-

tus. They will be funded totally by CAK parents with no money coming from the CAK operating budget. Tennessee high school lacrosse began in 1989 with two programs. The state has added new teams each year at both the high school and youth levels and is currently governed by the Tennessee Scholastic Lacrosse Association. Currently Webb, Catholic, Farragut and West Knoxville Club Lacrosse compete in the State Championship East Division.

CAK boys lacrosse camp CAK will be hosting a boys lacrosse camp for rising 5th8th graders on June 22-25. The camp will be held at the CAK Football/Track Stadium and will be from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The camp will cover all aspects of the game; players of all levels are encouraged to attend. Campers need to bring full equipment including mouth pieces. Instruction will be provided by experienced high school and college coaches, as well as former collegiate players. For registration information, please visit www. cakwarriors.com/camps.

CAK students on stage CAK is well-represented in this summer’s Tennessee Valley Players production of “Les Miserables” at The Carousel Theatre. Get your tickets and come out and support (L-R) Olivia Williams (CAK Junior), Hannah Brown (Class of ‛14) and Josh Current (CAK Junior)! http://tennesseevalleyplayers.org/

n 2010, four freshmen approached Mr. Mark Reeves with the request to start a CAK robotics team. Four years later, CAK participated in its first FTC Qualification Tournament, finishing 16 out of 20. This past January, CAK placed sixth out of 19 teams in Marietta, GA and was invited to participate in an invitational tournament in Atlanta in March. At this competition, the Warriors placed third in the autonomous program category, marking a huge milestone for CAK Robotics. “We scored more points in the first game of this year’s competition than our total score the previous year,” Reeves said. “During those first three years the team worked

on building a robot to perform the tasks of the FTC challenge for that year, but mostly due to limited funds, a robot was not completed enough to be able to attend any competitions. These students have worked really hard and it’s been really fun to watch.” There is no doubt the Warriors have come a long way and are poised to continue advancing. “We have learned valuable engineering and teamwork skills along the way,” said Drew Dixson, CAK rising senior and team president. Other members of this year’s team were Meg Rhyne, Matthew Dixson, Robbie Moore, Nick Hatﬁeld, Ethan Craig, Austin Estes and Parker Chambers. “Our ﬁrst activity as a robotics team was to invite Dr. William Hamel from the University of Tennessee to give us a group speech on some of the practical applications of robot-

ics in modern industry and medicine,” Dixson said. “We are grateful for Dr. Hamel’s time and for his willingness to teach to us some of what he has learned as an expert in the field.” After FTC’s Cascade Effect game was announced, CAK viewed the Kick-Off video, analyzed the game rules, and began brainstorming robot ideas together as a group. “We decided to build a conveyor belt and vertical linear slide system in order to pick up whiffle balls and put them in three rolling goals located on the floor of the game arena,” Drew Dixson explained. After several months of design and redesign and a Robotics Workshop at the Dixsons’ house, CAK made some improvements and was ready to take the robot to competition. “Our final robot design incorporated the unique ideas of every member of the team,” Drew Dixson said. “The robotics team is looking forward to another successful year in 2015-16.”
