Kincannon to Slovenia; shakes up school board

www.ShopperNewsNow.com |

Not your momma’s VBS

School board member Indya Kincannon will resign her position in August to travel with her husband, Ben Barton, to Slovenia where he will teach law at the University of Ljubljana as a Fulbright Scholar.

Barton has taught at the University of Tennessee College of Law since 2001. He teaches torts, evidence, advocacy clinic, comparative law, and images of the law.

Kincannon, in her third term, has represented District 2 on the school board since 2004. She served as board chair in 2008-10.

Their two children, Dahlia and Georgia, will go along for the family adventure. Kincannon said she expects to teach English or Spanish there.

Knox County Commission will appoint a replacement.

➤ Take the survey There are two days left to participate in the survey that North Star Destination Strategies will use to help develop a community “brand” for marketing Farragut to visitors, residents and businesses. Take the survey. It is online and takes approximately 15 minutes. There are no essays to write and no wrong answers. Take the survey.

North Star has been hired to help the town administration figure out how to get the word out about all that Farragut has to offer to businesses and visitors.

The people who live and/or work in Farragut should be the best at giving the company a snapshot of the community. It will help them decide what the town’s “competitive differentiator” is – what makes Farragut stand out in the marketplace. Take the survey.

Deadline is June 27. Take the survey. Info: www. townoffarragut.org/branding.

Farragut names volunteer leaders

By Wendy Smith The town of Farragut gets a lot of help in running its many programs from an active group of volunteers. These volunteers serve on 12 standing committees that meet and make recommendations to the town administrator and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

Most committees have no authority to enact policy, but they all carry a lot of influence in what happens in this community. Some are open only to town residents,

but others may include members from outside of the town.

Annually, the town accepts applications to fill open slots on the committees. The term of service on each varies, as does the number of committee members and whether or not they must be residents of the town of Farragut.

At the June 12 Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, additions were made to 10 committees. No changes were announced on the Economic Development Commit-

Following the money

By Betty Bean Why did the state buy a decrepit block building at the edge of nowhere – near the Strawberry Plains I-40 exit – for a Pellissippi State Community College branch campus?

How did Pellissippi State attract Knox County Schools to build a new magnet school in the basement of the former Philips Electronics building at a time when it was closing down community vocational schools, like the agricultural education program at Halls?

And how did a local investors group double its money in five years?

Turns out that reporter Walter F. Roche Jr. of the Tennessean covered this part of the story nearly two years ago, with a long, detailed account of how a group of investors led by Sam Furrow bought low and sold high after enlisting the help of Gov. Bill Haslam’s chief of staff when the deal to unload the

“The state bought the building by tapping $87 million that it had previously budgeted for TennCare, the state’s Medicaid program for the poor. But that money was able to be shifted for other uses when the federal government boosted its share of Medicaid funding for Tennessee as part of the stimulus package. In addition to $8.5 million in state funds, $1.5 million was contributed by the Pellissippi State Foundation toward the purchase,” Roche reported.

The bulk of the foundation money came from PetSafe founder and CEO Randy Boyd and his wife, Jenny, who donated $1 million toward the purchase of the Strawberry Plains campus. Last month, the building was named for the Boyds, who have given large sums of mon-

The winners at the Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo are (front) Ethan Koch, John Sawyer, Dakota Hodler, Bella Galindo; (back) Tori Schrubb, Alex Schrubb and Brooklyn Galindo. Not pictured: Tristan Cooper.

Fishing fever Sam Hilton enjoys the day with his son, Max.

The size of the catch didn’t seem to matter to the majority of the young fishers at the Bob Watt Fishing Rodeo on Saturday, June 14, at Anchor Park. The morning was all about casting and fishing and waiting for that pull on the line.

Families took advantage of the free event, which is annually sponsored by the town of Farragut. This is the 30th year for the tournament and the first since the recent death of its namesake, Bob Watt. Bob’s brother, Earl, stopped by to say hello to the workers and participants.

Prizes were given in different age categories, with winners receiving a

THE MONEY TRAIL The Shopper-News requested title information for the property at 7201 Strawberry Plains Pike from the Register of Deeds. Here’s what we got: 3/7/79 – Carl Armstrong to Philips Electronics – $300,000 5/24/79 – Hal Sherrod to Philips Electronics – $10,000 6/28/07 – Philips North America to Furrow Realty Fund – $5 million 3/9/12 – Furrow Realty Fund to State of Tennessee – $10 million

Following the money Lawson cut his teeth on vocational education when he was a senior at Doyle High School in 1978 and took an agriculture class from then firstyear teacher Mike Blankenship, whose award-winning agriculture program at the North Knox Career and Technical Center in Halls was shut down last month.

Lawson has been struggling to preserve CTE since becoming its supervisor. Although the state funds CTE at a rate of nearly 250 percent of regular academic classes (due mostly to the cost of equipping classrooms with state-of-the-industry tools and machinery and keeping classes small enough for teachers to closely supervise students), class enrollments are capped at 20 per CTE class, making the numbers difficult for principals to work with when they are trying to stretch their resources to accommodate their student populations.

Lawson said his program has been cut by nearly $2 million in salaries in recent years and will have five fewer positions this fall, although Knox County Schools reports that 9,598 students enrolled in CTE classes last

The new career magnet academy, where Blankenship has been reassigned, will be enrolling 120 freshman in the coming year, with one grade level to be added annually until enrollment tops out at 500. Students will choose an area of con-

Net operating cost of the yetunnamed magnet school (the students will choose a name this school year) is expected to be about $1.2 million per year.

government Hann to head

Greenways Commission Good news on the greenway front. The Greenway Commission, appointed

by Mayor Rogero, finally has a chair and vice chair after a year without either.

The new chair is greenway enthusiast Brian Hann of South Knoxville.

Victor Ashe

Hann has played a significant role with Legacy Parks, Carol Evans and others in contributing time, effort, money and determination to build the 16-mile greenway loop in South Knox, which had strong backing from Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis. Hann has filled the role that Will Skelton, two decades ago, provided in being the citizen sparkplug to build greenways. He is a bundle of energy that is sorely needed to jump-start greenway construction.

City-sponsored greenway construction has been at a snail’s pace in the past three years. Greenway advocates privately have voiced concern and surprise. The choice of Hann to lead this commission, accompanied by vice chair Chris Cherry, UT associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, can only be seen as positive.

Cherry was actually chosen in a contested election among greenway commission members. It is unusual on boards of this sort that more than one person seeks the vice chair position, but it is healthy that more than one was interested.

It bodes well for an active Greenway Commission that can make a mark for itself in connecting the existing greenways in Knoxville.

■ Lots of talk about Eric Cantor being ousted by voters in the Richmond area as a member of Congress and whether it may impact other races.

It is hard for this writer to see how it applies in East Tennessee where U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan spends almost every day in our district when Congress is not in session.

Cantor had lost contact with his district and failed to remember all politics is local. Duncan is just the opposite. It would be hard to find another member of Congress who helps out every constituent and attends every meeting he is invited to. His sister, Becky Dun-

can Massey, has continued that level of service in her state senate district.

Generally if a member of Congress loses in his own party primary, it is unique to him and issues circulating in that state or district.

Dan Davis, in the 1st Congressional District, is the last incumbent Tennessean to lose renomination (to Rep. Phil Roe in 2008). Before that, one has to go back to Sen. Ross Bass losing in 1966 in the Democratic primary to Gov. Frank Clement, who then lost to Howard Baker Jr. Other Tennesseans who lost their seats lost in the November election to a member of the opposing party such as Bill Brock, Jim Sasser, Lamar Baker and Lincoln Davis.

National trends generally kick in for the generalelection runoff.

■ A week from this Saturday, July 5, at 11 a.m. there will be a wonderful neighborhood dedication of the Lyons View Community Pavilion in memory of William “Sonny” Davis.

Mr. Davis was a longtime leader of this small AfricanAmerican community adjacent to several affluent neighborhoods. Spearheaded by his son, Ronald Davis, this community has worked hard to preserve its heritage. Parking for the event will be at the Church of the Ascension off Northshore Drive, where a shuttle will take people to the pavilion.

■ While attorneys’ voting in the Tennessee Bar poll on retaining or replacing the three Supreme Court justices seeking a new term was overwhelmingly in favor of the incumbents, the equally astonishing figure was the overwhelming number of the 12,000 Bar members who did not vote in the poll.

It exceeded 80 percent.

What that means is unclear, but apathy seems to be winning if attorneys who are most impacted simply do not vote in their own poll.

■ Mainstream media owe it to the public to educate and inform voters on whom the incumbents are and the debate arguments on retention or replacement.

The new court will choose the next state Attorney General in September for an eight-year term. No woman, African-American or Republican has ever been chosen by this system.

There may ultimately be an effort to change this unusual selection process since it has politicized the ballot issue for Aug. 7.

Tony Tiger to the school board?

Even before this year’s school board races are fully decided, rumbles are arising about what’s going to happen in the next election cycle – specifically, how those elections could impact Superintendent James McIntyre, since two strong allies (Karen Carson and Indya Kincannon) are expected to exit the board in 2016.

Norman says he has a good working relationship with 3rd District school board member Doug Harris but doesn’t rule out the possibility of making a run for that seat.

“A couple of people have asked what I’m going to do, and what I tell them is I’m in the school business,” Norman said. “I’ve got the appropriate experience for the position, and it absolutely would be a consideration.

Homecoming for Lamar U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander says he’ll walk the state again if that’s what it takes to win reelection. “And I can do it, too!”

Where’s the beef?

Summer is here, the season when bees buzz, chiggers chig and politicians meet in cow pastures. Last week, Commissioner Amy Broyles and Commissioner Dave Wright announced they would be meeting at Wright’s farm so Broyles’ children could “see the calves.”

For a seasoned reporter, nothing sets off the radar like the vision of two politicians picking their way through cow pies on a Sunday afternoon.

The notice announcing this seminal event carefully reminded the public that “no county business” would be discussed. Reporters were welcome if they prov ided their own boots.

Cynics may crow that a cow-pie-laden pasture is a fitting place for the entire County Commission to convene considering the character of debate that sometimes takes place at its meetings. I say this is a

chance for commissioners to take the bull by the horns and brand a new image for Knox County.

You don’t need to skim much of the county’s recent history to realize some image enhancement is overdue: Black Wednesday, the reign of Ragsdale, embarrassingly mishandled court records and choke-holdhappy sheriff’s deputies, to cite a few examples, have tarnished our fair county’s name.

Fortunately, Commissioner Wright’s farm provides a golden opportunity for this paradise of milk and honey to lead the state in the arts, science and education.

First, move over Bonna-

roo because “The Knox County Moosic Festival” will soon be booking the cream of the crop in headliner acts. Come hungry for music and hungry for victuals; our signature veal cutlets, from locally raised calves, will make Paula Deen green with envy.

A lot of you, especially Tim Burchett, tire of hearing that Knox County’s current mayor is the “donothing” chief executive.

With Wright’s pasture and some cooperative cows as his backdrop, the mayor will expose that slander with his own televised weekly news program.

“The Methane Hour” will kick off by explaining the impact of our hooved friends on global warming.

Early reviews of the pilot are unanimous – it’s a gas.

They seem to have an unlimited budget, and they spend money like crazy.”

Norman believes the teacher-evaluation system is “heavily flawed,” and he is no fan of charter schools, which he predicts will drain money from the children who need resources the most.

He supports SPEAK (Students, Parents and Educators across Knox County), which is moderated by staunch McIntyre opponents, but he doesn’t expect them to do much in the near future.

Alexander, 74, looked and sounded 20 years younger.

He found friends in Knoxville, including those imported from Blount and Loudon counties.

Ominously, those not seen included: Tim Burchett, Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, Sherry Witt, Phil Ballard, Craig Leuthold, Joy McCroskey, Cathy Shanks, Bill Dunn, Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes and most county commissioners (the exceptions being Briggs, Shouse and Wright).

With Burchett reprising the role of trail boss Gil Favor, Dean Rice as a hipper Rowdy Yates, and Michael Grider as Wishbone the cook, this one has Emmy written all over it. Set at Wright’s ranch, the series opener, “Watch where you step, Big Sexy,” promises to be unforgettable.

A lot of noise about the environment, recycling and “green” living comes out of Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero’s office. But nothing says “I love the Earth” like roasting your wieners over a mound of dried cow chips, and the Wright farm is an environmentally friendly fuel depot. Friday night family barbecues begin soon.

Finally, in the spirit of open government, the Knox County Commission is considering quarterly televised meetings at the Wright farm. What’s more open than a cow pasture?

Styled “Hoof and Mouth” by local wags, the meetings will be co-chaired by Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas.

There was no need for the visiting coach to explain that the quarterback dilemma is critical. Quarterbacks rarely win or lose games all by themselves, but there is a clear correlation between performance and won-lost records.

All teams with really good quarterbacks do not contend for championships, but you seldom see the ordinary ones in title games.

It seems to me that Coach

Jones and Mike Bajakian have a few weeks to work out a solution to this little problem. If Justin Worley is the best game manager, the coaches must somehow upgrade his arm and ability to run the zone-read – or they can concede that Joshua Dobbs is the answer.

If that doesn’t work, they can give Nathan Peterman another chance under more favorable circumstances. It might be good to prepare a prayer. By the end of September, this dilemma, if unsolved, will be serious.

Jones has said many times that he is looking for leadership, the so-called alpha male. It will be interesting to see if he finds one.

The best part of this team, bold improvement at wide receiver, obviously depends on quarterbacks for

Gloria Johnson is likely loser The race for 13th District state representative is underway. Voters in North Knoxville, Sequoyah Hills, and South Knox County have a contested Republican primary in August, with the winner facing the Democratic incumbent Rep. Gloria Johnson in the November general election.

In the Republican primary, there is a familiar narrative emerging with the “big money” candidate, Jason Emert, facing the “values voters” candidate, Eddie Smith.

A local businessperson with family connections, Jason Emert has been raising (and spending) a lot of money to try to win the seat.

Eddie Smith is the former events director at Sevier Heights Baptist Church and has been endorsed by Republican kingmaker state Rep. Bill Dunn – an impor-

Scott Frith

tant endorsement among conservatives. The winner takes on Gloria Johnson in November.

Johnson has kept a high profile since getting elected in November 2012 and has quickly become the most outspoken, partisan Democrat in local elected office.

As a result, Johnson has become the media’s reliable quote machine, eager to criticize the state’s Republican super-majority. Most notably, Johnson has led the fight against state education reform, gaining her flattering media coverage.

Unfortunately for John-

son, it won’t be enough to win reelection.

Regardless of which candidate emerges from the August primary, either Republican will defeat Gloria Johnson. Johnson will lose for two reasons. First, Democratic turnout will be lower this year than in the 2012 presidential election.

Second, Johnson will not benefit from an independent candidate splitting up the Republican vote in a Republican-drawn district as she did in 2012.

Johnson was elected two years ago by taking advantage of the second most Democratic electorate in recent memory (only November 2008 was more favorable to Democrats). Many folks – but especially traditional Democratic constituencies – only vote in presidential elections.

As a result, expect Democratic candidates to struggle

with lower turnout more than Republican candidates, whose voters are generally older and are historically more likely to get out and vote.

In fact, Gloria Johnson would not have gotten elected without the November 2012 Democratic turnout for Barack Obama.

Those picking Johnson to

win reelection conveniently ignore that she barely got elected in 2012 and only defeated her Republican opponent by 288 votes. This isn’t an indictment of Johnson. It is impressive that she won in a Republican-drawn district at all.

However, she’s unlikely to repeat the performance in a non-presidential year. Moreover, in 2012 an independent candidate on the ballot split Republican voters, allowing Johnson to prevail with only

48 percent of the vote. This year, no independent candidate will be on the ballot, further hindering Johnson’s chances to win reelection.

It’s always risky to predict elections five months away. Yet, regardless of the Republican nominee, Gloria Johnson will lose her bid for reelection. The 2012 Obama turnout elected Gloria Johnson. The shrinking 2014 Democratic turnout will likely defeat her.

For various reasons, the immediate past may not be a fair barometer, but it is a matter of fact that the Vols have had four consecutive losing seasons.

Additional facts: Quarterbacks delivered more interceptions in 2013 than touchdowns. Their passerefficiency rating of 105.48 was slightly above awful.

Ferguson didn’t do it.

Can we expect improvement? Of course. Coaches are paid a lot to do a lot of coaching. Considering that the legendary Jon Gruden made an appearance, quarterbacks have undoubtedly progressed. The next question is whether it will be enough to make a noticeable difference.

Is June too early to worry?

functionality. Quarterbacks obviously depend on blocking for survival. A better running game would reduce double-teams in the secondary. Offense is all tied together, but it starts at QB. This is an improbable time for great expectations at Tennessee, no matter who emerges. There are too many depth problems and not enough experience at the line of scrimmage.

But the Vols do need to demonstrate improvement to maintain momentum.

Last winter, recruiters could sell the future. They did it with vigor. Results were superior.

Next winter, rivals will whisper to prospects, even commitments, that they should ask when they can expect the future to arrive.

Good question.

Not your momma’s VBS

Providing narration for ConcordQuest’s “Master of the Stones: The Chosen One” are Concord puppets. The puppets are “village guards,” with one puppet dressing each session as a different meaning of the word “guard,” including a Buckingham Palace guard and basketball guard.

The pastor rappelling from the rafters? Spaceships with “beam me up” hydraulics? Biblical versions of the X-Men? Mad scientists?

Olympic stadium?

All have been a part of what the church calls ConcordQuest. Former pastor Dr. Doug Sager was dedicated to making VBS relevant to today’s children and kicked off elaborate VBS staging and scripts around 1993. The tradition continues, with each year leaving observers thinking it can’t be topped.

The planners for 2015 will have a tough job. How do you follow a dragon

with glowing red eyes who breathes smoke?

ConcordQuest ended with family night on Friday, followed by a baptism of new believers on Sunday.

Tim Paul, director of instrumental music and arranging, was the producer and director for “Master of the Stones: The Chosen One,” a takeoff on the popular “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” stories and movies.

The Biblical basis, says Paul, is Colossians 3:13 where the virtues that Christians aspire to are listed. In “Master of the Stones,” the virtues are represented by four stones of different colors. A group of young people is on a quest to recover the stones and rid the land of evil.

Dr. John Avant, senior pastor, presented the message of the power of Christ in the lives of Christians.

In 1993, 700 children, ages 4 through eighth grade, attended ConcordQuest at First Baptist Concord. This year, the number was more than 2,000. Hundreds of volunteers work behind the scenes and in the classrooms for months to make the week a success.

From building the sets to performing to teaching to serving refreshments, the volunteers all pitch in to make the magic, says Paul.

Sarah Mentzer leads the Bible school group in song prior to the VBS opening program.

The cast of “Master of the Stones” includes, front, from left, Alec Olson as Ray, Hannah Payne as Piper and Conner Hess as Drew; and back, from left, Chris Carter as Mac, Kylie Pearse as Fisher and Brandon Daniel as the evil Seris.

Stop praying!

Stop praying? Now, that’s not what you typically hear, but that’s exactly what God once told Moses.

Not that God was frowning on prayer, but the time for praying without action had passed. It was time to act. God told Moses to tell the children of Israel to “move forward!” (Exodus 14:15).

Friends, could it be time for you to stop praying and “move forward?” Understand this one thing; many of the prayers we have prayed to God have already been answered. He has said “yes.” Yet, we remain in a quandary, not because

Steve Higginbotham

God hasn’t answered but because we haven’t “moved forward.”

My point is, “Don’t just sit there and continue to simply pray when you can ‘move forward’ and receive God’s answer to the prayers you’ve been praying.”

DivorceCare offers a place to heal

By Laura Cline Thursday nights at Fellowship Church, 8000 Middlebrook Pike, are a time of hope and healing for people dealing with the pain of divorce. The church’s DivorceCare group provides a place for people from the community to gather and support one another through a difficult time.

The church offers the free 13-week program three times during the year and is currently in its second session. Having benefited from this group in the past, Ben and Alexa Wolfe, Heather Maze and Joey Williams, group leaders, now want to extend that same grace and hope to others. These four volunteers facilitate discussion by sharing their own stories of walking through the pain and coming out on the other side.

“It’s a safe place where people can unload their burdens. Oftentimes, just talking about it with others helps them heal,” said Joey Williams.

Alexa Wolfe agreed: “There’s a lot to be learned from just sitting and lis-

tening. There have been some people who couldn’t even talk and have just cried. But for some that is very cathartic.”

While the group is faithbased, it is open to people of all denominations and doesn’t discriminate against anyone.

“It’s important for people to understand that divorce isn’t their identity. If they were raised in the church, people can have a very difficult time understanding that God’s not mad at them,” said Alexa Wolfe.

An environment of acceptance draws members back each week.

“We have people tell us that they can’t wait for Thursday night because they get to be among friends who care. We remind people that, although you may feel like you’re in a cave, it’s really a tunnel,” said Heather Maze.

Walking with people through that tunnel represents the main commitment of the group.

Classes are held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays and are always open to new members.

Reaching out to Sutherland

By Wendy Smith Matt Deen had always imagined a career in ministry, but he didn’t have a clear vision of what it would be until he began exploring the community around Sutherland Avenue.

He’s worshipped with the Laurel Church of Christ, 3457 Kingston Pike, for six years. During that time, he’s become familiar with Sutherland, just a few blocks away from the church building. The tiny homes there remind him of the neighborhood he grew up in − the Nations in West Nashville.

It was a rough neighborhood, but he was fortunate to have two Christian parents who were involved in his life, he says.

Deen felt an immediate attachment to the Sutherland area. Through research, he learned that it has a high percentage of single-mother families and incarcerated parents. It’s also one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the city. UT’s internationalstudent housing is gone, but families still live in the area because of the numerous ethnic grocery stores and restaurants, he says. Apartments along Sutherland are also home to numerous refugee families.

He felt compassion for the struggles of those who live just around the corner from his church. “Life is not in a place where you would want those kids to hang out all day unsupervised,” he says.

Last fall, Deen participated in an internship with Laurel Church as part of his preaching and church leadership degree program at Johnson University. During that time, his vision became more focused. He drew up a sample schedule and budget for a summer and afterschool program and gave it to church elders. They opted to let the congregation decide. Deen teamed with the church’s minister, Mark Smith, to present the idea − and ask for $120,000 to cover the program for 18 months.

“I never dreamed in a million years that I’d get the support I was asking for,” Deen says. “I had it in two weeks.”

Because he didn’t want to start a program from scratch, Deen partnered with the Emerald Youth Foundation’s Just Lead program. There are currently 22 local churches participating in Just Lead, and Deen likes it because churches direct their own programs and congregational involvement is encouraged.

“It’s not enough to just give money. The church also needs to make connections.”

There are currently 19 elementary-school-age students participating in the church’s Just Lead program. Deen works with an assistant, an intern and four AmeriCorps members.

Each day, students have a 30-minute Bible lesson as well as 45 minutes of read-

ing, math and computerbased instruction. Grant money provided 11 laptops and 11 tablet computers.

Science and art lessons are taught on alternate days.

Team sports are a regular part of the schedule, and students visit the YWCA Knoxville for swim instruction once a week.

Each Friday, they take an educational field trip. Because urban kids often lack adult relationships, each student receives dedicated attention from staff members, Deen says.

The kids enjoy the program enough that several of them returned for the

church’s recent Vacation Bible School. Most walk to the church for Just Lead, and he was amazed that they were willing to walk back for the evening VBS. “The kids love it. Any time I have a kid with only 20 words of English who looks at me and says, ‘I want to stay,’ it’s a big deal.”

Meet the interns!

Katie Sasse will be a 9th grader at the career magnet a c a d e m y.

She lives in the Strawberry Plains area and her favorite place in K nox v ille is the Sunsphere.

If Sasse Katie could have lunch with one person, she would love a sit down with Abraham Lincoln. She would love to have been present at the “I Have a Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If her house were burning, Katie would grab her picture album, her favorite book and her favorite stuffed animal.

Kaila Bond will be in the 9th grade at Karns High in the fall.

If she could have lunch with one c e l e b r i t y, it would be singer Ariana Grande, so there is no surprise Bond that if Kaila were stranded on a desert island, she would want Grande’s song “Problem” with her. If her house were on fire, Kaila would grab her Bible, Kindle and money. If she could go back in time, Kaila would like to experience the days of “Little House on the Prairie.”

Laken Scott will be a 9th grader at Hardin Valley Academy this year.

Her favorite part about Knoxville is dow ntow n and Market Square. If she could travel back Scott in time she would like to see the creation of the bomb at Oak Ridge National Laboratories. If Laken’s house were on fire, she would be sure to grab money, her passport and a laptop. If stranded on a deserted island, she would have the complete works of Sherlock Holmes and a fully stocked fridge on hand.

Abbey Underwood will be a 9th grader at Carter High School in the fall.

Her favorite place in Knoxville is the zoo and she loves photography. If she were able Underwood to go back in time, Abbey would like to experience the ’50s or the ’60s. If her house were burning, you can bet that she would grab her phone, her purse and her computer.

Luke Hemmings would be the ideal lunch date for Abbey if she had the opportunity to meet him.

Wanna come with us?

Do you really know Knoxville?

By Donna Mitchell If you’re anything like me, then you wish Knoxville were more interesting.

You wish there was something about it worth sharing when you meet people from other cities and states.

Look no further; this article will blow your once-narrow mind with some pretty big Knoxville history that exists in just one area!

Our first visit was to the Mabry-Hazen House, which holds three generations of historical artifacts.

In a lot of ways the history is much like that of the Hatfields and McCoys. Joseph Alexander Mabry Jr. was one of Knoxville’s most influential people; he held a large number of slaves. He was a trustee of the college that became the University of Tennessee and served as

president of the Kentucky and Knoxville railroad.

In 1853, he and his brother-in-law donated land to the public. It’s known today as Market Square. Mabry built his Italianate home after marrying Laura Evelyn Hayes. His untimely death occurred when local banker Thomas O’Connor shot him over a land dispute in 1882. The shooting, which occurred in broad daylight, ended the lives of Mabry Jr.’s son and O’Connor.

Mabry’s daughter went on to marry Rush Strong Hazen and together they had the last inhabitant of the house, Evelyn Hazen.

Down the street is Morningside Park, home of the Alex Haley Statue, created by renowned artist Tina Allen. Alex Haley, born in 1921, was a writer best

known for his 1976 book “Roots.” Haley was an exceptional student as he enrolled at Alcorn A&M College at age 15. He left school at 17 to enlist in the Coast Guard for a 20-year career.

After success with the “Autobiography of Malcolm X,” Haley engaged in a new project tracing the history of his ancestor’s journey from Africa to America. He published his work, “Roots,” in 1976 resulting in a global interest in genealogy as well as easing racial tension in America. Until then no one had given such a real view of slavery, the book went on to be adapted into a film and win a special Pulitzer Prize.

A few miles away sits Old Gray Cemetery, open since 1851. The cemetery, originally thought to be in a bad location, contains over

9,000 bodies, most buried between 1860 and 1910.

The cemetery has a large presence of Union and Confederate soldiers, but also has other very important people.

The bodies of the Rev. Thomas William Humes, the Hazen family, Lizzie Crozier French, Robert Love Taylor and Peter Kern were buried in Old Gray Cemetery. Next to the cemetery is the national cemetery for the Union soldiers, established in 1864.

After reading this, I hope your mind has been stretched to a new dimension.

Knoxville really does have interesting history; you just have to find it! Now stop reading this and go explore this historical city!

Tour guide Laura Still from Knoxville Walking Tours led the group on a leisurely stroll through the Old Gray Cemetery, 13 acres of beauty and history in Old NorthKnoxville.

She explained that a graveyard is attached to a church, but a cemetery can be used by anyone and can serve several churches.

Gray opened in 1851, but since it was two miles from town, folks thought it was too far to go for burials. They began using the spot as a picnic area.

Most were buried here from 1860-1910, with some 9,000 buried there to date.

Odd monuments shaped like tree stumps are strewn throughout the cemetery. Still said they were sold to Woodmen of America’s insurance policy holders as part of a package deal.

Still said we shouldn’t clean monuments because it destroys them. She also discouraged “rubbings” of grave stones unless it is a member of your own family. The cemetery has been named an arboretum because of its lush greenery, she said.

Still hopes more folks will visit the cemetery since so much of Knoxville’s history rests here. Literally. She has a book of ghost stories coming out in the fall.

The only male statue in Old Gray Cemetery is a confederate soldier that guards the graves of two brothers. While they did not die battle, both fought in the Civil War and wanted to do something upon their death to honor their service.

Notables buried at Old Gray include: ■ Thomas William Humes ■ Lillian Gaines, age 7 at death, and her monument is a likeness of her. Still said it looks so much like the girl, her family brought tokens such as small toys and bubbles to leave at the statue. People still do this today.

■ Lizzie Cozier French, suffragist ■ Robert Love Taylor’s grave is empty

because his family moved him. He ran for governor in 1886 against his brother. Taylor was a senator so popular that 40,000 people attended his funeral, which was held in Market Square.

■ Artist Anna Catherine Wiley ■ Sneed Family, owners of the Lamar House Hotel where the Bijou is now.

■ Peter Kern of Kerns Bakery is buried here. He got off the train in Knoxville the day Burnside invaded so instead of rejoining the military as he has planned (because he would have opposed Burnside) he learned a trade and became a baker.

He also opened a shop on Market Square and, according to Still, “changed the face of Knoxville retail” by selling everything related to fun – fireworks, party supplies, candy, etc. He was also the first retailer in Knoxville to decorate his windows for Christmas.

■ William Brownlow, founder of The Whig newspaper, Tennessee governor (1865-69) and U.S. Senator (1869 to 1875).

■ E.C. Camp, who owned the Greystone building and is said to haunt it today ■ Artist Lloyd Branson ■ Thomas O’Connor, who shot Joseph Mabry and his son ■ Charles McGhee Tyson has a monument. A pilot, his family donated 60 acres in West Knox for an airport in his memory after he was shot down and lost at sea during World War I. McGhee Tyson Airport is named for him.

■ Novelist Virginia Rosalee Coxe has an angel statue on her grave. The angel’s right hand was stolen, which Still thinks is poignant because Coxe was right-handed.

Rumor has it that Coxe walks the cemetery at night looking for her right hand.

Also in the cemetery is a stainless steel monument with one rusty panel – rumored to have been a drop-off for moonshine.

Mabry-Hazen House delights

It’s 156 years old, built in 1858.

Executive director Calvin Chappelle led our private tour of the Mabry-Hazen House, a grand old homeplace atop a hill just northeast of downtown.

Chappelle became interested in Knoxville’s history when he researched his own genealogy with his father.

Chappelle discovered his ancestors were captured by Admiral David Farragut and put into prison.

How ironic that he later attended Farragut High School, graduating in 1996.

He returned to Knoxville after graduating college up north, and has been at Mabry-Hazen seven years.

Joseph Mabry made his money as a land speculator.

Market Square was created when Mabry and William Swan purchased and developed 11 acres including businesses surrounding the square.

The house was occupied by both armies during the Civil War, but the family continued to live upstairs.

Mabry experienced financial difficulty around 1870.

Mark Twain tells the story of Mabry’s death, almost as a joke, according to Chappelle.

Twain calls it the Southern way to die.

Mabry was shot by banker Thomas O’Connor at 10 a.m. on Gay Street.

Mabry’s son heard the gunshots, rushed to the scene and found his dad in a pool of blood. He then shot O’Connor, who grabbed a shotgun he had hidden at his bank. O’Connor shot the younger Mabry. All three men died.

Three generations lived in the Mabry-Hazen house which is now owned by a private foundation. Objects in the home are actual original belongings of the family. Chappelle said the home is one of only 125 historic homes in the nation which can claim that. Artifacts are from the 1700s-1930s.

The last resident of the house became a recluse who lived with a number of cats and dogs. She let the house fall into disrepair and asked upon her death that the house be turned into a

museum or the entire lot be auctioned, the house be razed and all proceeds go to the Humane Society.

Chappelle joked, “If you don’t keep it going, it all goes to the dogs.”

The home was built in Italianate style. The formal parlor has a sofa and chairs with woven horse hair for the fabric. The fireplaces are shallow, probably for coal.

Churchwell Avenue in North Knoxville is named after Mrs. Mabry’s mother, Rebecca Evelyn Churchwell, Chappelle said.

Festivities to celebrate the Civil War sesquicentennial will be held next April 30 to May 3.

Cool rumor: A cave exists on the property, and Chappelle said it is rumored to have had many uses, one of them being the Underground Railroad, but that is pure speculation. The family eventually had the cave filled so the neighborhood children wouldn’t get hurt.

Time Warp Tea Room sizzles

Owner Dan Moriarty is like a favorite uncle you like to visit who has lots of neat old stuff to look at. The chicken salad is his wife’s recipe, and even upon your first visit you’re treated like a regular.

Jukeboxes play oldies and arcade games still run on quarters. Moriarty even showed the interns a trick to get one to work without any money.

The kids spent a few minutes playing pool in the game room and looking at the vintage shirts hanging along the wall which included one from Cas Walker’s grocery store.

After leaving Time Warp, we swung by Tree Griffin’s shop Retrospect for a look at all things vintage. Intern Kaila Bonds was intrigued by a View Master, but Ruth White had to show her how to use it. There’s nothing like the interns to make the tour leaders feel old.

really felt like I was in the 1800s. The house had all of the furniture and paintings so nicely preserved that you had to feel a special connection to its ties to Knoxville. Every detail seemed so simple yet so complex and intriguing. I really recommend going to see this beautiful home and all of its treasures.

I tend to have a one-track mind. When I set out to finish a task, I keep at it until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. While this seems like a good trait to have, it can be a problem because I have a lot of trouble prioritizing things. My wife doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to wait on me to finish up things like organizing the DVD collection before we can go to dinner.

What is your passion? I have a true passion for working with young people.

And a passion for fireworks!

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

I would enjoy eating lunch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; really doing just about everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with my son, Jackson.

Bill Sharp

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?

Bill Sharp is like a superhero. By day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually by schooldays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he teaches second grade at Farragut Primary School. But when summer starts, he turns into the fireworks guy at Dixie Lee Fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owner, operator and janitor,â&#x20AC;? Sharp is the third generation to run the family shop just over the line in Loudon County. His grandfather, William Marvin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bennyâ&#x20AC;? Goodman, offered everything from fireworks to birdhouses when he opened in 1947 but went to seasonal fireworks only once I-40 was completed and he saw they would be the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;bread and butter.â&#x20AC;?

Sharpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, Gordon and Deanna, doubled the size of the retail space in 1988. His mom, who taught fifth grade at Highland Hills Christian Academy in Lenoir City â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first â&#x20AC;&#x153;superhero.â&#x20AC;? Sharp says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only one who â&#x20AC;&#x153;can walk through the doorâ&#x20AC;? and know more about fireworks than he does.

Sharp and his wife, Stephanie, and son, Jackson, live in the house in which he was reared in Old Concord. After graduating from Christian Academy of Knoxville, he earned his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in human development and learning from East Tennessee State University in 1999.

He worked at Helen Ross McNabb for four years, then took over the West Side Kennels from his father when his dad retired. But he knew he wanted to teach, so he finished his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 2012 and got a job at A.L. Lotts Elementary after finishing his internship. He started at Farragut Primary last fall.

The store is open from Memorial Day through the second week of July and from Dec. 26 through New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s each year. Sharpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Dottie, a middle-school teacher in Lenoir City, helps him run it.

Even though fireworks are illegal in Knox County, the Sharps still do a good business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Fourth of July, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not being a nuisance, police are really lax with the ordinance,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get someone who complains about you, they might drive up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, put your fireworks away.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In Loudon County, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal to use and to sell fireworks.

Teaching and purveying fireworks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to me because I have the same passion about it,â&#x20AC;? says Sharp. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also creating excitement in both arenas, though he says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to do so in the classroom.

Both are about selling, he says. Sit back and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Bill Sharp.

I try to live my life the way Jesus Christ teaches me in His Word, so I guess He is the single greatest influence in my life.

I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite get the hang of â&#x20AC;ŚÂ Candy Crush

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

The Nintendo Entertainment System. Christmas of 1986. No question.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie?

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

From â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocky:â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about how hard of a hit you can give â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.â&#x20AC;?

My mom continues to share helpful advice with me every day. Perhaps the most important advice she gave me is to always be an honest person.

What are you guilty of?

What is your social media of choice?Â

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guilty of loving carbohydrates. If it has carbs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eating it.

What is your favorite material possession?

Twitter

What is the worst job you have ever had?

Video store clerk

My favorite material possession tends to change from time to time, depending on the season and my mood. I would say that these days it would have to be my Jeep.

When the weather is warm, I like working on it and driving it around. In the cold winter months, my favorite material possession changes to my TV!

I loved watching the Roadrunner and Coyote and still watch them with my son. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really sure why I like them so much. Probably because of the explosions!

What are you reading currently?

What irritates you?

The last book I read was â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Happened in Tennessee,â&#x20AC;?

by James Ewing. I like to read historical nonfiction when I have the time. I have to admit that most of what I read these days consists of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literature by way of reading to my 5-year-old son in the evenings. We are currently reading/discussing the works of Dr. Seuss.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Become a lion tamer. SCUBA dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Become a granddad.

What is one word others often use to describe you?

Punctual. I am almost always on time to everything I do. Honestly, I tend to arrive early. If something happens out of my control that causes me to be even a few minutes late, I get in a bad mood.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

People who talk a lot but never listen to anything irritate me.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one place everyone should visit?

You havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to Farragut if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tasted the pizza at Little Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

What is your greatest fear?

I consider myself to be pretty brave. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for snakes, though.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be?

I would buy a motorcycle and drive west across the country without using the interstate. I think it would be neat to see the country that way.

Cornhole goes big time

By Sherri Gardner Howell

A fierce cornhole competitor, William West approaches the toss line with intense concentration.

Something’s gotta break on this board!

ENROLL NOW for 2014-2015

Who knew the backyard and tailgate game of cornhole had championships?

Cool Sports in Farragut knew, and they were the host June 6-7 to the ACO State Championships of Cornhole. The championships brought singles and doubles players to compete, with time set aside for free play for the public. Special concessions, including pulled pork dinners, helped make it a festive weekend for competitors and onlookers alike.

This was ACO’s inaugural championship in Tennessee. “We’re extremely excited to have launched our State Championships Program and believe that Knoxville, Tennessee, is going to be a great host city for the event in 2014 and for years to come,” wrote Frank Geers, president of American Cornhole, LLC., on the organization’s website.

Lori Smith of Powell came to try her luck. “I’m a bit of an underdog,” she said. “These guys play like pros. They play a competitive game, but I’m really excited about seeing that. It’s fun.”

The winning player and team won a $250 Golden Ticket entry to compete in ACO World Championships of Cornhole IX, being played out in Charleston, W.Va., on July 15-19.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Gives Surgeons Greater Clarity & Precision As a general surgeon with Premier Surgical Associates, having good hand-eye coordination is essential for Marcella Greene, M.D. That’s why Dr. Greene is enthusiastic about an innovative tool that gives surgeons a Dr. Marcella Greene, General clearer, more powerful 3-D view of the surgical Surgeon site and greater precision and control while operating.

The da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery system allows a surgeon to control surgical instruments from a console a few feet away from the patient. The instruments include a tiny camera that enables the physician to see a magnified, high resolution image inside the patient’s body. The surgeon controls the robotic arms and instruments with his or her fingers in real time.

“The instruments are “wristed”.

Your range of motion and dexterity is just like your own hand,” explains Dr. Greene. “For me, it’s ergonomically better than the straight, un-wristed approach of traditional laparoscopic instruments. You can use your fingertips while your arms are rested on a console, so it preserves the strength in your arms.”

“It will likely be the future of general surgery as we continue to adapt more procedures to a robotic approach.” ~Dr. Marcella Greene, Surgeon

Dr. Greene, along with her partners Dr. David Harrell and Dr. Roland Weast, use the da Vinci robotic system to perform a variety of surgeries at Tennova Healthcare including procedures for acid reflux, colon diseases, ventral hernia repair, adrenal gland removal and some pancreatic procedures. Dr. Greene is one of the few surgeons in the Knoxville area to perform robot-assisted single-site gallbladder removal.

“It’s a virtually scarless procedure that is done through the navel,” explains Dr. Greene. “Many of my female patients especially like the single-site surgery because they can still wear a bikini.”

Dr. Greene believes that there will only be more and more possible applications for robot-assisted surgery. “It will likely be the future of general surgery as we continue to adapt more procedures to a robotic approach. Robotic technology is great tool and another great option for surgeons and patients.”

Dr. Greene says the enhanced visualization of the robotic platform is remarkable. “The 3-D images are amazing. You see enlarged details that you couldn’t normally see.”

I can’t wait to get here every single day!” But though his film work keeps him very busy, he is eager for people to appreciate his latest project, which comes straight from his heart.

“Rainy Day People” has already had successful shows at the Hanson Gallery, Bennett Galleries and the Clayton Gallery in Maryville. And now Underwood has launched a series of books featuring the evocative, colorful and often mysterious prints. Great care was taken in selecting the materials – paper, binding, finishes – and just holding one of them imparts a feeling of comfort.

There’s a book for each town he’s explored, and he’s eager to expand the series with more locations. Underwood also has plans for a video diary about the making of the books.

Rotarians learn all about dueling

By Anne Hart There was a lot of thrusting of swords and pointing of daggers at last week’s meeting of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville, but no parrying. And that’s a good thing, because it meant nobody got hurt.

The topic was “The History of the Duel,” and guest speaker and historian Dr. Charles Miller explained that while the commonly known term, “thrust and parry,” is part of the vernacular of dueling, thrusting is the initial action with

the sword, and parrying is the response from the other person. In other words, without the first action, there isn’t a need for the second.

Miller is a historian and a recognized expert in the area of swordplay. A professor at Pellissippi State Community College, he has spent 25 years in the theater, working with the University of Tennessee’s Clarence Brown Theatre, the Knoxville Opera, Shakespeare in the Smokies and others, primarily as a choreographer

Duncan for Congress Working on Issues that Matter to You A Personal Message from Congressman Duncan

Defending the Constitution I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that is exactly what I work to do each day.

Balanced Budget I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. With one of the most fiscally conservative voting records in Congress, I consistently vote to reduce government spending in order to protect Social Security and control the federal debt.

Growing our Economy I want to eliminate government over-regulation so more businesses can open and expand, creating better jobs for Americans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed my re-election saying it will, “produce sustained economical growth, help create jobs and get our country back on track.”

Repealing Obamacare I believe the biggest problem with the so-called Affordable Care Act is that it is unaffordable already. I will continue to speak out against it at every opportunity, and I believe our federal dollars are better spent on things like improving care for our nation’s veterans.

America First I oppose spending billions of dollars on people in foreign countries who hate us.

We need to stop trying to take care of the whole world and start taking care of our own country and putting the American people first once again.

Conservative Leadership for East Tennessee

Congressman

John J. Duncan Jr. Early voting starts July 18 Paid For by Duncan For Congress, Jason Brown, Treasurer

Fares Schlank is all about building relationships, and his business, West Bicycles, in Farragut allows him to do that.

Whether he’s greeting customers with a handshake or connecting people on bike rides or raising money for worthy causes, Schlank enjoys his work.

Bike rides are a way for people to meet each other in a fun and engaging way, he said.

Schlank spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about his business and the six bike ride benefits that he has established. The fundraisers enable Schlank to give back to the community, which is something he said he likes to do.

Schlank, who graduated college with a degree in engineering, has been in business with his bike shop for 28 years.

The six fundraiser benefit rides this year each support a different cause.

Three rides have already been held. The Hot Winter Ride in February raised $2,000 for Young Life Knoxville Summer Camps.

The Cry Baby Ride in April raised almost $4,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Cardiac Kids Ride in late May benefits research involving the health of middle school age children, he said. That ride raised $3,000.

The remaining rides for this year include Ride for the Rescue in August supporting Knox Area Rescue Ministries, Farragut United Greenway Festival in September supporting United Way and the Harvest Ride in November benefitting Second Harvest Food Bank.

Schlank, who coordinates the events along with his wife, said the bike benefits introduce people to the Farragut area. The United Way ride will help showcase the town’s greenways, he said. These outreach events are supported by the business community and organizations that help make the rides an enjoyable experience. The Knox County Sheriff’s Department provides escorts, amateur radio enthusiasts help with communication and safety issues, and local businesses provide supplies for rest stops.

In addition to the fundraising rides, West Bikes holds other bike trips throughout the year.

This fall, a Greenway Series is planned so riders can explore the regional greenways. Schlank said Farragut has 15 miles of greenways that interconnect neighborhoods and businesses.

Rotarian Tom Marsh, who is the senior instructor for Drive 4 Life Academy, Inc., shared some rules of the road involving bicycles.

In Tennessee, a bicycle has the legal status of a motor vehicle and must travel in the same direction of traffic on the right hand side. All riders under 16 years of age must wear a helmet.

Tennessee law requires that vehicles give bicyclists at least three feet of distance, but Marsh encourages drivers to do more than that.

“When you approach a bicyclist, try to give that bicyclist as much room as possible,” he said.

Rotarian scholarship recipient Alicia Lewis said her mother pushed her to do better in high school and stressed the importance of education. Lewis, a recent graduate of Austin-East High School, was honored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville during the presentation of the 2014 Rotary Foundation of Knoxville College Scholarship. The four-year scholarship, an annual award to a selected student, is $16,000 with students receiving $4,000 each year.

Lewis, who graduated with a 3.5 GPA, held various leadership roles and took accelerated courses while she was in high school.

She also worked part-time as a pharmacy technician for a discount drug store.

The young woman said she grew up in a single-parent household, and her mother worked two jobs to support them. She said her mother told her if she ran with “the crowd,” that is what she would become, one of the crowd.

As part of her high school coursework, Lewis was required to do 35 hours of community service each semester, and while she volunteered in several capacities, she said the one that meant the most to her was feeding the homeless at her church.

Lewis plans to attend the University of Tennessee and major in business administration with a concentration

Bob Samples is the current Rotary president. His wife, Diana, introduced the school’s executive director, Jennifer Willard, who made the presentation to Madison Craddock, a graduate of Family Christian Academy of East Tennessee.

N EWS FROM PARKWEST, WEST KNOXVILLE ’ S H EALTHCARE LEADER • T REATED WELL .COM • 374-PARK

Building a bridge Rhonda Valentine fights back tears sometimes. In another moment, she can’t help laughing out loud. Working with kids on a daily basis can bring out both in a person.

Valentine has a passion for her job working as nurse supervisor at Peninsula Behavioral Health in the Child and Adolescent Unit.

The unit is set up for patients ages five to 17, and serves counties throughout the state.

“We get kids who come from all over East Tennessee with a variety of backgrounds,” she says.

“The unit serves children and teens with addictions and psychiatric issues,” Valentine explains.

“Most of the children come to Peninsula with behavioral problems as well. They often get in trouble everywhere they go. They don’t trust their parents, and they don’t trust the school system. They lost hope somewhere along the road.”

Peninsula offers children and adolescents a safe place to heal and a way to get back on the right track. After an initial assessment, tools like therapy and proper medication help stabilize the young patients so they can lead more productive lives when they’re discharged. In addition to highly trained staff, community resources are utilized from organizations like Narcotics Anonymous and the Health Department.

“All of them, deep down, are good kids,” Valentine insists. “But when you go through the kinds of things they’ve been through – all

Rhonda Valentine has found her calling as a nursing supervisor on the Child and Adolescent Unit at Peninsula Hospital. they know how to do is act out.”

She offers the example of molestation. If it happens to a child, he or she is likely to turn around and act out that victimization on another child. If the child witnesses drug and alcohol abuse, that may be-

come a problem, too.

“Many times they’ve seen, felt and heard things that kids should never see, feel or hear,” Valentine says. At Peninsula, patients receive plenty of care and compassion, as well as learn consequenc-

Picturing a better day Keeping children safe is Peninsula’s first priority and managing the environment plays an important role in that effort. Since glass and picture frames could potentially be used as a way of harming themselves or others, you will not see framed pictures on the walls of the Child and Adolescent Unit at Peninsula.

However, that doesn’t mean the healing of art can’t have a presence there.

UT pre-med student Barrett Thompson says he was looking for a chance to volunteer at a local hospital when his brother said Peninsula was looking for someone to paint murals. Thompson’s brother is a nurse there.

“Art has always been a passion of mine,” Thompson says, “so I jumped at the opportunity.”

Thompson has painted four murals on the walls of the Child and Adolescent Unit. Two of the murals are nature scenes with green hills and blue skies. One of the others is a painting of a large apple tree in the corridor that leads to the play area outside.

“The idea behind these three murals

es for maladaptive behavior.

“They learn coping skills, and we give them choices,” Valentine says. “A lot of them don’t believe that their choices result in direct consequences until we show them.”

Valentine says program counselors are the “heart of the operation.” They are the people who get involved with the patients on a personal level and know how to get to the root of the problems these young people face on a dayto-day basis. She calls them the “glue” that holds everything together in the unit.

“You can have a violent kid, and the right program coordinator or nurse, with the right words – they know just the thing to say,” Valentine says. “They talk them down and that’s very successful in teaching the kids to talk their problems out.”

“Most of the time, upon admission, these children can be a danger to themselves and/or others,” she says. “Safety is our top priority, so we’re always aware of potential harmful behavior.”

“But the saddest thing for me is when the kids sometimes feel like this is their second home,” Valentine says. “For some, this is better than what they have anywhere else.”

Valentine has seen children and teenagers who have depression and homicidal or suicidal ideations. Many have cut themselves with razor blades, glass or even their own fingernails.

“They may have a hundred cuts up to the elbow,” Valentine says.

“They cut their thighs, their stomachs, their faces.”

There are others with schizophrenia, hearing voices.

These are problems that can’t be solved in a few days’ time. But that’s OK, because Valentine says Peninsula has a clear purpose in the lives of these patients.

“We’re just like a bridge,” Valentine explains. “They come from being out of control at home to Peninsula. We stabilize them and get them connected with outpatient resources like a psychiatrist, psychologist or a therapist who can help them once they go back home.”

Valentine says that bridge is exactly where she wants to be.

“I had asked for signs if this was the place for me to be,” Valentine remembers. I said, ‘Let me see butterflies’ – I walked into the children’s unit, and they were drawing pictures of huge butterflies.” Valentine says that’s when she offered up a prayer of thanks and knew Peninsula was the right place for her.

“They stay so confused about so many things,” Valentine says of her young patients, “but the one thing they do know is who loves them and who’s going to help them.”

Valentine has made a commitment to be one of those people, offering compassion, discipline and a bridge to a better day ahead.

Don’t punch that pillow!

Managing childhood anger

UT pre-med student Barrett Thompson enjoys volunteering his time and talent to paint murals on the walls for patients at Peninsula Hospital.

was to bring a bit of the serene environment that surrounds Peninsula indoors,” Thompson says. But his latest mural is a little more fanciful. “The most recent is a treasure chest sitting on the ocean floor in the sensory room.”

Thompson says the response to the murals has been overwhelmingly positive from the staff.

“More importantly, while painting I received a good deal of positive feedback from the patients,” Thompson says. “That’s the best thing.”

If you’ve ever told an angry child to go punch a pillow, you might want to rethink your strategy for teaching them anger management skills. Experts at Peninsula Behavioral Health caution that if children don’t learn to manage anger without a physical outlet, punching a pillow could later turn into punching a person or destruction of property.

Here are some ways to help prevent those bursts of anger or to help your little one deal with the emotion when it strikes.

1. Choose your battles.

Avoid power struggles.

2. Be on the lookout

for changes in mood or behavior.

3. Allow your child some space, if needed.

4. Encourage your child to express anger with appropriate words or pictures.

5. Be patient and listen with calm respect.

6. Remove the audience – some children are more likely to act out in front of others.

7. Praise and encourage the right kind of behavior.

8. If you believe your child’s expression of anger goes beyond what is “normal” for his or her age, seek evaluation by a behavioral health specialist. You can find one by calling Peninsula at 865970-9800.

No one should walk a mile in this shoe.

The emotional damage caused by child abuse and neglect requires professional help.
