Johns brings home the ribbons Farragut’s Bill Johns is used to doing things in a big way. The entrepreneur is CEO and founder of Bluewater Consulting, a consulting business specializing in technology, strategy and start-up businesses with international clients and several stateside offices.

In his backyard is a garden that provides produce for family and friends. He and wife Margaret call it “Sundown Farm – the smallest farm in Tennessee.”

“Our garden is the centerpiece of our backyard, and we do gardening 360 degrees around our house, wherever there is space!” says Bill Johns. Over the years they have worked and promoted Sundown Lifestyle with products such as homemade soaps and crafts, organic farm products and “Stressed Chef” recipes.

So when Bill Johns decided to enter the Tennessee Valley Fair’s Culinary Arts for Canning competition, he submitted in five categories, even though he learned how to can only six years ago.

Johns placed in all five categories and earned the Best of Show in the regional contest.

Dee West, department head of the Culinary Arts for Canning division of the fair, says that for a first-time entrant to win Best of Show is unprecedented in the fair community.

“You just do not see many young men or anyone who has been canning for only a short time just walk in as a first-time entrant and place in so many classes either,” West says. Johns’ Pickled Heirloom

The Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved, on first reading, rezoning that allows for installation of a 170-foot cell tower, disguised as an absurdly tall tree.

The Municipal Planning Commission discussed the possibility of a tower on the 8.5 acre parcel, sandwiched between Clarity Pointe and a First Utility wastewater treatment center on Concord Road, at three separate meetings. Commission agreed, given the need for a tower in the area and the proximity of the wastewater treatment center, that a zoning change from A (Agricultural) and Rural Residen-

tial with an Open Space Overlay (R-1/OSR) to Commercial (C-1) and Telecommunications Tower Overlay was reasonable.

A change in the base zoning was necessary because the Tower Overlay Zoning District isn’t an option

for property zoned residential.

The MPC recommended disguising the tower as a tree, rather than a water tower or flagpole. Alderman Ron Pinchok asked if the tower had to be so tall, given that some local towers are shorter.

Mary Miller of Branch Towers said topography and foliage dictate how high the tower needs to be. A 150-foot tower would work, but a lower height would discourage other carriers from using the tower, which might result in the need for more towers.

The board voted to approve the zoning change with the conditions that only one tower be built on the

site and that the monopine application be as realistic as possible and well-maintained.

The board approved, on first reading, the rezoning of a portion of a parcel west of Village Veterinary Medical Center from Office (O-1) to Town Center District (TCD). Applicant Craig Allen was required to submit a concept plan of his mixed-use development, which includes retail, office and residential space, in order to request TCD zoning.

Resident Ken Frazer told the board he didn’t think four four-story apartment buildings, with stores To page A-3

Duncan law school on the move with Wade

By Bill Dockery A new yardman showed up for work a couple of weeks ago at the John J. Duncan School of Law. The white-haired worker wasn’t on the payroll when he arrived on a Saturday and began to clear away shrubs that hid the front of the school’s historic building at the intersection of Summit Hill, Western and Henley streets in Knoxville.

“We have a historic facility and grounds,” said Gary Wade, the school’s new dean and a recently retired member of the Tennessee Supreme Court, “but that takes second place to an administration that is investing in curriculum and faculty and staff.”

So Wade assembled a crew who tackled overgrowth along the walls at the front of the campus.

“As a Sevier Countian, I know

the importance of curb appeal,” he said. “I want people to be able to see the school from the street.”

The act was an early indicator of the attention Wade is paying to his new job as dean and vice president of Lincoln Memorial University’s law school. With 28 years in the state’s judiciary and well Gary Wade more than 2,000 written decisions in the record, he said he feels that a practice-focused academic position is a good fit for his experience and talents.

“It’s easy for me to embrace the mission of the school,” Wade said.

criteria of UT.” He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and its College of Law. “For those who are place-bound in East Tennessee and Southern Appalachia, Duncan is a great alternative. Students who are willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to the profession can find a place here.”

The school is experiencing a surge in admissions. It opened in 2009, but the American Bar Association initially denied it accreditation. LMU appealed numerous times and even sued the ABA unsuccessfully. In December 2014, the ABA relented and gave the school a three-year provisional accreditation. The fall 2015 enrollment increased to around 100, with half being fi rstyear students.

Wade said his own small-town

background has prepared him for his role at Duncan. He grew up in Sevierville where his father owned and ran a small department store in the downtown, and Wade clerked there as he grew up.

Later, when he returned home to practice law, he would serve 10 years as the town’s unpaid mayor.

He was appointed to the state Court of Criminal Appeals in 1987.

In 2006 then-Gov. Phil Bredesen elevated him to the state Supreme Court.

His 2014 retention election is still fresh on Wade’s mind. Thanks to opposition from ultra-partisan Republican interests, Wade was forced to campaign. He took the effort to unseat him as a challenge to the nonpartisan tradition of the state judicial system and won reelection, with the two other challenged judges.

The Best of Show was doubly special because it was a team effort with Johns’ daughter, Leilani, a first-grader at Farragut Primary School.

Rivalries and half-rivalries Football is a strange game. It consumes us, burns so much energy and creates great, good, bad and awful memories. Rivalries are the by-product.

In fact, there are far more half-rivalries than the real thing.

Tennessee and Alabama are traditional foes to those who know why the UT stadium is named Neyland. The game matters more to the Vols. On the Tide radar, Auburn is 365 forever in focus, front and center. Trash talk fuels fireworks.

Tennessee and Florida are blood rivals to those who were just learning to count about the time the Gators discovered domination.

There was a time when

Marvin West

Kentucky regarded Tennessee as its bowl game, the late November opportunity to save a season. It appears Louisville has replaced us in importance.

Tennessee claims Georgia as a rival because UT coaches spend significant recruiting time and money in the neighboring state.

Georgia is far more emotionally involved with Florida, Auburn and perhaps Georgia Tech.

Tennessee and Vander-

bilt might be genuine rivals if they had a few similarities. Vandy is from a different planet.

Tennessee and Arkansas are not rivals but they are forever linked by tidbits.

First: An Arkansas fumble turned into one of the biggest plays in Tennessee football history. The Vols trailed throughout a rainy afternoon, Nov. 14, 1998.

Razorbacks were running out the clock.

Defensive tackle Billy Ratliff knocked offensive guard Brandon Burlsworth back a step, into the path of Clint Stoerner.

The quarterback stumbled, attempted to brace his fall with the hand that held the ball, and fumbled.

Ratliff recovered. In the

moments that followed, Travis Henry became a legendary running back.

Tennessee won – the game and, eventually, the national championship.

Second: The 1971 Liberty Bowl had a controversial finish. Arkansas was obviously winning. It led 13-7 and kicked what appeared to be the clinching field goal with 5:45 to go. Flag down, no goal, big, bad Razorback caught holding.

“It’s very rare that you get a holding call on fieldgoal protection,” said coach Frank Broyles.

That flag was nothing compared to what happened later. Conrad Graham walloped Jon Richardson after a screen pass. Jon fumbled.

An Arkansas guy fell right

on the ball. Tennessee defensive end Carl Johnson said it was obvious.

Hmmm, maybe not. The ball was visible long enough to attract a considerable crowd. Bodies were stacked on top of bodies. No telling what all went on down near the ground.

Every Volunteer not preoccupied in the melee helped officiate. In perfect unison, players, coaches, managers, trainers, cheerleaders and Smokey pointed toward the Arkansas goal and proclaimed “Our ball!”

Arkansas partisans blamed Preston Watts, a man in a striped shirt, for the real turmoil. They insist that Razorback guard Tom Reed came out of the pile with the ball and handed it to the SEC official, who promptly awarded possession to Tennessee.

Tennessee fullback Curt

Watson scored the winning touchdown.

My favorite Arkansas connection, a Civil War type, still isn’t over it.

“Forget hell.”

Third: There are several other Tennessee-Arkansas connections. My choice? ExVol all-American Bowden Wyatt was a winning coach at Arkansas. Fans gave him a big white Cadillac and considerable gas money, the perfect combo for his return to Tennessee.

John Majors coached at Arkansas. Doug Dickey was an Arkansas assistant before he was head coach at Tennessee. UT athletic director Bob Woodruff ate a lot of catfish at Arkansas cookouts. Razorbacks have no valid reason to be disturbed about that. There was some left over.

Campaign finance then and now I don’t know Megan Barry, but I’m proud that she won election as Nashville’s first female mayor.

It’s been 95 years now since women won the right to vote. Youngsters need to be reminded.

It’s been 43 years since I won election as state representative from District 16. During that campaign I got a check for $50 from a woman in Nashville that I’d never met or heard of.

So when I got to Nashville, I phoned her and went by her office to say thanks.

Osta Underwood was an early female lawyer (who made a career in insurance after no law firm would hire her) and an early proponent of women’s rights. She never said whether she was a Republican or a Democrat, and I never asked.

As I left, she quoted an Irish blessing:

Sandra Clark

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I never saw or talked with Osta Underwood again.

I’m tempted to send these words and $50 to Megan Barry.

After all, we trailblazers have to stick together.

Big bucks: That $50 was among the top five contributions I received in that first election. Money comes to a winner; not so much to an upstart challenger.

My biggest Halls area donor was Bob Temple. I remember asking him where he worked. He explained he was a self-employed homebuilder. That was my first inkling that we didn’t have to work for somebody else.

That lesson stuck.

Bill and Ann Walkup sent $25. He was president of the Home Federal Bank where my dad worked.

In a frenzied, self-managed campaign financed chiefly by personal credit card, I mislaid the check.

For months afterwards, Mr. Walkup would mention it to Dad every time Ann tried to balance their checkbook.

Can’t remember if it ever turned up.

Insure Tennessee supporters urge Legislature to close coverage gap Rogero ‘auditions’

Larry Drain and Ronald Tucker are two of some 280,000 Tennesseans who don’t have health insurance.

They were left standing in the coverage gap created by the state Legislature’s failure to pass Insure Tennessee.

Betty Bean Drain didn’t mention it when they spoke at the Tennessee Justice Center and Tennessee Health Care Campaign presentation, “Counting the cost: Measuring the impact of the failure to pass Insure Tennessee,” at Mt. Olive Baptist Church last week, but a Google search of his named revealed that he’d achieved near-celebrity status over the past couple of years after telling the story of why he has to live separately from his wife, who suffers from a serious illness.

“If we lived together, she’d lose her health insurance. Right now we live 25 miles apart. If there is no Insure TN, I don’t believe we’ll ever live together again,” Drain said.

Tucker has done contract work at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Ap-

plied Research for the past 13 years. He’s scheduled to be off for two weeks until a new contract kicks in. He has no health insurance. A month ago, he started having heart trouble. The hospital is working with him on the bill, for which he is grateful, but it’s a constant worry.

A week ago, he heard something out in his front yard – it was a neighbor, cutting his grass.

“I went out to thank him, and he said, ‘Neighbors help neighbors,’” Tucker said.

Health-wise, he’s keeping his fingers crossed.

Drain turned 64 the day after the meeting and is in his eighth year without health insurance. He owes around $7,000 for emergency room visits and is looking forward to turning 65 and becoming Medicare eligible.

“When you don’t have insurance, you just don’t go to the doctor,” he said. “When you do go, you go to the ER. If I had health insurance, it would have been three to five office visits. When I turn 65, I hope it can happen. All I can do is wait and see, and pray a lot. A whole lot.”

Drain and Tucker’s personal stories delivered an emotional wallop, and other speakers – like Rep. Joe Armstrong, Sen. Becky Duncan Massey (one of the

for post with Clinton Mayor Rogero became the 5th person in city history yesterday to win a second consecutive four-year term. Others were John Duncan, Randy Tyree, Victor Ashe and Bill Haslam. It remains to be seen if she completes the next four years as mayor as only two of these predecessors actually served the full term. Duncan and Haslam departed early to become a member of Congress and governor respectively.

Rogero is the only one of the five mayors to win a second term unopposed, except for a nominal writein candidacy by Jack Knoxville. She also won with the fewest number of votes a winning mayor has received in the past 60 years.

Voter turnout was less than 10 percent of all registered voters.

Speculation centers on Rogero not completing her term should a Democrat win the White House next year, as she easily may be named to a position in a new federal administration.

Clearly, she has been auditioning for such a position for the past four years with her position on climate change, same sex partner benefits and marriage (lighting up the Henley Street Bridge), banning guns at Chilhowee Park, and energetic backing for Obamacare and enrollment. All of this places her on the same page ideologically with national Democrats.

She would be an obvious choice for a President Clinton, Sanders or Biden.

There are almost no positions she could seek in Tennessee where she would be likely to win. Knox County is so heavily Republican (unlike the city) that she would not win the county mayor’s office. The notion she could win the congressional seat or a race for governor is a fantasy. But Rogero could easily fit in the U.S. Departments of Labor or HUD. Should she accept a federal position (this writer believes she would take it in a heartbeat), it would trigger a special election for mayor as more than 11 months would be left in the mayor’s term. Council would appoint a 90-day mayor.

Persons already being mentioned for mayor in 2019 would have to move up their timetable. These include Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis; former Mayor Daniel Brown; Council members George Wallace,

few Republican legislators supporting Insure Tennessee) and Tennova Health Systems vice president Jerry Askew – delivered sobering facts, like reporting that legislators’ refusal to pass Insure Tennessee is costing the state $2.7 million in federal funds daily.

Armstrong and Duncan asked Insure Tennessee supporters to make a strong showing in Nashville when the Legislature convenes in January. Askew said Tenno-

va is facing $206 million in uncompensated care unless Insure Tennessee passes.

“Our CFO told me that the uninsured pay about 2 cents of every dollar they are charged. They would like to pay, but don’t have it,” he said. “Our hearts are broken. A steady stream of hard working, good people are showing up in our ERs, but they are robbed of their dignity because they have to beg for what should be their right.”

Schoonmaker stays busy Time flies when you’re having fun, and Knox County Commissioner John Schoonmaker was surprised to realize that more than eight months have passed since he was appointed to fill the Fifth District seat left open when Richard Briggs was elected to the state Senate last November.

County Commissioner John Schoonmaker has been highly visible in the community since taking office in January.

He is having fun. The office has been everything he expected, and more, he says. A steady stream of meetings and events keeps him involved with the community − and learning.

Town of Farragut meetings have been especially educational, he says.

“I think you have to be out there; otherwise you don’t hear what’s going on.”

Schoonmaker is a former president of the Council of

West Knox County Homeowners, and he can remember occasions when he was left in the dark because other members assumed he knew about an issue. He doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else.

“I don’t want the community to be left out.”

A career change has allowed him to devote plenty of time to his office. Sales work for an optics manufacturer sent him out of town most weekends, but

the company’s focus on overseas markets coincided with his appointment to the commission. He’s not retired, but he’s pleased to have more time to dedicate to community involvement.

One of Schoonmaker’s favorite parts of being a commissioner is helping constituents with problems. Because of his experience with the homeowners group, he knows whom to call to get things done.

Constituents are sometimes surprised by how quickly things can happen, like a simple road repair, through a phone call to the right person.

They might also be surprised by the “fantastic” work of county employees who don’t always get the credit they deserve. He also commends the work of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s office and local state representatives.

While CWKCH is known for its vocal opposition to development that negatively impacts neighborhoods, Schoonmaker has to have a different approach as a commissioner. Sometimes,

he has to tell communities that they can’t fight development just because they don’t like it. People have a right to sell their property for development that fits within zoning guidelines, he says.

“You can’t fight everything or you’ll lose your credibility.”

At the same time, people need to step up when they see things happening that don’t make sense. He feels like he’s been able to effect change by paying close attention to city and county government, and hopes to empower others to do the same. Most citizens don’t get involved unless something impacts their home or school, he says.

He has a great relationship with Briggs, who sent him a congratulatory text just two minutes after Schoonmaker’s January appointment. Briggs’ term expires next August, and Schoonmaker has no doubts about pursuing the seat in the March primary.

“I sincerely appreciate the opportunity. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

Interestingly, there are no women being mentioned to follow the first woman elected mayor. However, there are those who feel Carol Evans of Legacy Parks Foundation should consider it. To date she has avoided elective politics.

However, if she ran, she would bring new ideas and vision to the contest and has contacts to raise the necessary funds.

If anyone doubts that Wallace is running for mayor, that doubt was erased by his recent TV ads on the 6 o’clock news on WBIR (the most expensive television buy) for a race in which he had no opponent. Wallace is emptying his campaign chest. He must run again on Nov. 3, again against no one. While Wallace may deny he has decided to run for mayor, there should be no doubt he wants to run and that is an honorable aspiration.

■ Nashville elected its first woman mayor, Megan Barry, two weeks ago.

This was a needed victory for the state Democratic Party where her opponent stressed strongly conservative views.

Over $8 million was spent among the seven candidates for mayor. Both parties spent money in this contest – the Democrats for Barry and the Republicans attacking Barry as opposed to backing Fox. Non-partisan municipal elections are best for the people who live in our cities and towns.

■ Council member Marshall Stair is engaged to Natalie Robinson and they plan a December wedding. They got engaged while on a trip to Chicago.

She is the controller of JB&B Investments LLC. ■ Friends of Lula Powell, 27-year principal of Green Magnet Academy, will gather Friday, Oct. 2, at the corner of Summit Hill Drive and Lula Powell Drive for the street renaming in her honor.

Preparation is Mills’ mission

By Carolyn Evans Just as he was about to take off for China several years ago, W e s l e y Mills, then 21, felt a stab of pain in his lower abdomen.

Instead of spending a summer Wesley Mills in Asia as a missionary, Mills found himself in the hospital, where his doctor removed a tangerine-sized benign tumor in his large intestine.

The young man’s disappointment wasn’t just at missing the summer opportunity. A junior in college, he planned to spend the summer in China with the idea of returning later as a long-term missionary.

“I was going to learn Mandarin and teach English as a Second Language,” said Mills. “I had done a lot of training.”

Once he was feeling better, Mills decided to go ahead with his overseas plans and contacted then-missions pastor at First Baptist Concord Joey Garner. They put travel plans back in motion.

But two weeks later, Mills was rushed back to the hospital for a second operation.

Garner came to visit him, and they agreed that he was not headed to the mission field.

Today, the 2008 Farragut High School graduate says he is living out God’s calling for his life right here at home. He’s not on the foreign mission field himself, but he helps others get there.

Sing to the Lord I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.

(Psalm 7: 17 NRSV) The living spirit of any religion shines through most clearly in the hymns by which its adherents bring before God their troubles and fears, their hopes, aspirations, and reasons for confidence.

(Introduction to Psalms, The New Oxford Annotated Bible) My earliest memory of being in church is about music. I remember hearing the word “safasecure” in the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” and wondering what it meant. It was years before I could read the hymns for myself and realized that it was a phrase: “safe and secure.” That was long before my piano and voice training, but it shaped my understanding of the importance of enunciation in singing.

It was years later that my denomination published a new supplemental hymnal, not to replace the existing one (which was certainly not outdated!), but to expand our worship experience with songs that were new and fresh, as well as adding some oldies but goodies that were left out of the existing hymnal. The new supplement was called The Faith We Sing.

Wesley Mills, TEAM hub leader for the Southeastern U.S., and Josh McQuaid discuss the work of the day.

Mills, a graduate of the University of Tennessee, is a missions coach with The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) in Maryville, a 100-year-old mission organization. TEAM partners with local church to send missionaries and establish churches in other countries. More than 575 TEAM missionaries and staff serve in more than 35 countries.

Mills is also one of seven hub leaders in the country, overseeing a team of missions coaches who cover the Southeast. He also works with pastors locally from churches that include Berean Bible Church, Christ Covenant Presbyterian and Cedar Springs Presbyterian.

He gets missionaries ready to go to the field and helps

“cast the vision” for how the organization mobilizes individuals and churches for long-term service.

“We work alongside individuals and churches in a ‘sending triangle’ that involves the mission agency, the church and the missionary,” said Mills. “We counsel people who are interested in being sent and help match them with opportunities abroad. We have people who do church planting, run hospitals, sustain community development, do aquaponics, and in addition we are developing a businessas-missions arm to help business people who want to work overseas.”

Mills says that potential missionaries need to consider several things before they go. “It’s all expecta-

tions,” he said. “You expect your life is going to be transplanted from Knoxville to Dubai, for instance, then it looks very different.”

Being prepared for language barriers is also important, said Mills. “I think people think they’re going to go overseas and make friends really easily. I think you need one to two years in language training. Once you learn the language, that’s not the only barrier you have to cross. You still have to learn sarcasm, jokes, nuances, stereotypes, racial boundaries and cultural expectations.”

When the call to go is there, Mills and TEAM help with the preparation. “People always ask, ‘Should I sional saying: ‘God doesn’t go?’ or say, ‘I’m not qualified call the qualified. He qualito go.’ There’s a famous mis- fies the called.’ ”

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

The title for it was chosen because the leaders of our denomination realized that “the faith we sing” is the faith we believe! Our music (if we pay attention to it, and do not just mouth the words) shapes us, teaches us and grows us up in the faith.

I’m sure you have several favorite hymns. I encourage you to sing them joyously, or reverently, depending on the hymn.

I encourage you to listen to the words you are singing. Do you hear them?

Do you believe them? Do you live them?

Offer your songs to God!

On guard against temptation

By Nancy Anderson “It’s always been hard being a teenager,” said Faith Promise Church global student pastor Zac Stephens. “But it seems like kids today face more challenges and dangerous temptations than ever before.”

From drugs to bullying to pornography and everything in between, Stephens seeks to empower kids to resist temptation through a four-week series of high energy lessons.

The latest entitled “Fatal Attraction,” drew nearly 600 kids from 13 to 18 years of age at the Pellissippi campus alone.

“Temptation is universal. Everybody is tempted, age, race, finances; it doesn’t matter. Temptation is not going anywhere, but you can overcome it.

“Also, guilt is a crippler. It’s easy to get into a never-ending cycle of temptation, sin and guilt. It keeps us from having peace.

Peace only comes when you step out of that cycle by accepting God’s grace.

“How we overcome temptation is by armoring ourselves like a Roman soldier with the world of God and by doing a ‘friendventory.’ Make sure we associate with those who battle along with us against temptation.

“If I were to boil it down to its purest essence, the most important weapon or armor in our arsenal is to follow God’s will that we love Him and others. And I would add ourselves.

“For example, if we are to give in to the temptation of doing drugs or fighting with our parents and teachers, we aren’t loving others and we aren’t loving ourselves.

“I want the kids to arm themselves with this one thing if nothing else.

“It’s awesome to see the kids growing in the right direction.”

A resource for recovery

By Carol Shane Many churches today are finding common ground with those in recovery from addictions such as alcoholism and drugs, eating disorders and other issues. They want to help. Laurel Church of Christ is no exception.

On a recent Tuesday, Laurel hosted a mini-conference for the Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselors Association.

The focus was on eating disorders, and treatment centers such as Cornerstone of Recovery, Focus Treatment Centers and The Ranch were represented. A large group of professional counselors attended, learning new insights and techniques to help their patients.

Anthony Fuller – church member, professional architect and licensed professional counselor – says the church offers such continuing education opportunities several times a year.

Professional counselor Anthony Fuller helps to implement Laurel Church of Christ’s outreach to the recovery community. Photo submitted In addition, Laurel offers a robust array of community services, several dealing with recovery issues.

It all started “about two years ago,” says Fuller. “We had a new member in recovery who is an addictions counselor.” For a model, Laurel members looked to North Atlanta Church of Christ, already active in the recovery community.

Laurel’s Third Step Ministry is named for Alcoholics Anonymous’ step three of 12: “Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.” While 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous are inclusive of all religions and beliefs, Third Step Ministry exists as enrichment to anyone in recovery who desires “mentoring, Bible study and a demonstration of healthy Christian fellowship to help lead people in recovery to a whole, healthy and sober lifestyle,” according to the website.

JustLead, Laurel’s partnership effort with Emerald Youth Foundation, reaches at-risk and low-income youth living in the Sutherland Avenue community.

From the website: “We seek to improve their lives by focusing on enrichment in academics, health, sports and spiritual discipleship.”

And “we have a Tuesday night lesson and supper,” says Fuller, with The Next Door, a women’s halfway house.

In addition, Laurel provides a welcoming space for several 12-step meetings.

“We’re just trying to be more of a resource to the community,” says Fuller.

kids History buff takes first place

Daniel Smith, Makayla Norvell and Kyla Faerber make music with “found instruments.”

Northshore first graders study ‘found sounds’ First graders at Northshore Elementary School were really cooking in Allison Hendrix’s music class while learning about “found sounds.” Hendrix brought in a collection of objects typically found in a kitchen so students could use them to accompany the beat of a song.

Hendrix asked individuals to come up and play a kitchen object behind a sheet, and their classmates guessed what the item was. “Instruments” included an oatmeal tub, a pot and lid and a cup of beans.

Hendrix played “Just from the Kitchen” on the guitar while students followed along with their chosen instruments. Other students shook dish towels in the air and sang.

When he started high school, he became involved in the History Olympiad but he didn’t do as well during his first competition as he had hoped. “Through perseverance, I kept at it and I made the team.”

The duo took first place in the Junior Varsity World Championship, and then Chen competed solo and placed fifth overall with a second place in the Civilization competition.

Coyotes are creatures of the night

By David Hunter Opinions are divided on the coyote among Knoxvillians and East Tennesseans in general. To many they are viewed as skulking, cowardly creatures, ravaging livestock, snatching small pets from their own yards and a menace to children and adults alike.

To others they are admirable creatures that have not only survived as other species have dwindled to extinction or near extinction, but have spread from the mountains and plains of the Western United States all the way to parts of Canada and into Central America.

Native Americans generally viewed the coyote as a wise creature, a trickster in their mythology, which coexisted in harmony with them for thousands of years.

It was the arrival of European settlers who built pens and fences to protect their livestock that turned the coyote into an outlaw species, hated and massacred everywhere it was found.

The coyote averages 20 to 50 pounds, with the largest coyote ever killed at 75 pounds, and 32 to 37 inches

in height – similar in size to a medium German shepherd.

Sterling Daniels, a specialist in small game with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), recently expressed the opinion that coyotes are very often blamed for things they didn’t do.

“Coyotes are scavengers and generally hunt alone,” Daniels said, “and very often they will be seen at the kill of a farm animal that was actually taken down by dogs running in packs. But when someone spots the coyote making a meal of something it found, he jumps to the conclusion that it was the coyote that did it. Or if coyotes are even seen in an area, people attribute disappearing pets to them – and coyotes are seen pretty much everywhere today this area.”

Daniels was almost apologetic for having very little solid evidence to pass along.

Essentially, in the state of Tennessee, anywhere it is legal to shoot, it’s legal to kill coyotes any day or night of the year and to kill as many as the hunter wishes.

Since the coyote is not considered a game animal

there is no tagging to keep up with the number killed every year. Apparently some also kill the coyotes for their fur, which turned out to be the case in what was at first investigated as an animal cruelty case here in Knox County – before DNA testing showed the skinned animals to be coyotes – though the difference between cruelty to a coyote and a dog seems thin at best.

My first encounter with a coyote was around 1985 when as a deputy sheriff I answered an alarm call at what was then the London Fog plant in the Powell community.

Upon arrival, I told my dispatcher to call the security company and let them know their German shepherd was loose and running around the yard, because its coloration and size were similar to that breed.

As it turned out they had no German shepherd and when I got out of the cruiser and was able to see the animal close up as it circled inside the fence, it was a female coyote, obviously with a litter of pups somewhere.

I later determined that she had jumped up on a pickup

truck parked near the fence, then jumped over to raid a dumpster and was unable to get out.

When a security officer arrived to open the gate and let the desperate, panting coyote out, he was as startled as I was because neither of us had any idea there were coyotes in Knox County.

She didn’t know what a gate was and just kept circling inside the fence until I stepped in front of her. Only then did she go through the gate.

After I reported what I had seen, I took a lot of ribbing because everyone else also knew “there are no coyotes around here.”

The next morning I called TWRA and learned there were a lot of them around, but I was the first government official to report one because they were very sly and nocturnal to boot.

A few years ago, when I read about the New York City police chasing a coyote all over several boroughs, I just smiled.

Everyone knows if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere.

Hiking the AT results in film, amazing experience

By Betsy Pickle Hiking the Appalachian Trail is a bear. Hiking the Appalachian Trail with an extra 30 pounds of camera equipment on your back is insane.

But that’s what Jeff Brown and Drew Simms did for four months and 28 days starting in June 2012. The result is the documentary “Dirty South Bounders – An American Journey of a Lifetime.”

The film will have its big-screen premiere at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at Scruffy City Hall on Market Square.

Brown and Simms, both now 28, attended Sevier County High School at the same time but didn’t run in the same circles. After graduating in 2005, Simms headed to acting school in New York City and Brown started at the University of Tennessee, bouncing around between majors before finally deciding he wanted to go to film school.

As it happened, he transferred to California State University-Northridge at the same time that Simms, who had moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, was looking for a roommate. The two connected and became good friends.

After Brown graduated from film school and both were getting burned out on the L.A. scene, they got the

idea to make a film about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

“I don’t remember where the idea came from, but it just hit us one day,” Brown says. “We can get out of the city that’s breaking us down, go back to our roots in the mountains. And we can hike the Appalachian Trail and make a film about it, without giving up on our careers.”

They returned to Sev ier v ille in 2011 and worked for a year to save money. They started at the northern end of the AT – making themselves “South Bounders.” As for the “dirty” part …

“After just a couple of weeks on the trail, you’re broken down of all your normal, civilized ways of representing yourself,” says Brown. “Everybody’s dirty, everybody’s smelly, everybody was wearing the same clothes.

“You don’t know what people do for a living, what their religious faiths are, what kind of political beliefs they have. It kind of just levels the whole playing field. Everybody shares that common goal of completing the trail. … It’s a really cool experience.”

As opposed to section hikers, who do parts of the AT over time, thru-hikers tackle the 2,174-mile trail in one fell swoop and usually form a “family” of hikers

weekender

At the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, thru-hikers pose for a “family” photo: from left, Jani Taljaard (trail name Corolla), Jeff Brown (Moon Man), Drew Simms (Bootleg), Trevor Johnson (GAGA), Phillip Hill (Zen); and, front, Matthew Summa (Truth). as they travel. The film duo started out with another friend, Jani Taljaard (trail name Corolla), whose relationship with Simms became a “B story” in the film.

(Spoiler alert: It did not end well, Brown says.)

“The trail, it’s not like going on an expedition in the Amazon or climbing Mount Everest,” says Brown. “The real thing that makes it challenging is the distance and the time.”

He says there are some remote sections of the AT, but often they were traveling through “someone’s back yard.” They developed

an efficient system of charging their batteries, sending footage home and getting resupplied with data cards.

Once they finally got home, it took a while for them to complete the film because they both had to work day jobs. Says Brown: “The biggest thing I learned from the whole experience is the relationships you make with people; it kind of restores your faith in humanity, all the good people you interact with and come in contact with. You meet people from all over the world that have the same interest, to take on the Appalachian Trail.”

Next up: ‘Of Mice and Men’

By Carol Shane The 2015-2016 season has already begun for the Clarence Brown Theatre. Last week “The 39 Steps” – a lively spoof of the Alfred Hitchcock film by the same name – finished its run. Fortunately, a wealth of strong productions still awaits the theatergoer. Next up is John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.” The play follows two migrant field workers in California during the “Dust Bowl depression” of the 1930s. Published as a novella in 1937 and adapted for the stage that same year by its author, “Of Mice and Men” isn’t Steinbeck’s only look at these hardscrabble lives – his masterwork, “The Grapes of Wrath,” followed two years later.

George Milton and Lennie Small, the two men at the heart of the play, suit up and show up every day but are weary of the migrant life. They have dreams of owning their own ranch Steve Sherman and Kyle Maxwell star in the Clarence Brown some day, and often pass the time Theatre’s production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” talking and daydreaming about their opening this Friday.

Sicario A by-the-book FBI agent (Emily Blunt) is recruited for a black-ops unit working in the drug-war zone along the U.S.-Mexico border in “Sicario,” opening in theaters Friday.

Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro also star.

The title of the play comes from a poem by Robert Burns. Translated from Burns’ original Scottish language, it states: “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”

Lennie is mentally challenged. A gentle giant who is often unaware of the consequences of his innocent actions, he is cared for and guided through life by his good friend George.

When a tragedy occurs, George finds himself making a very difficult decision for Lennie’s ultimate benefit.

Kyle Maxwell, the third-year MFA acting candidate who plays Lennie, says that the character lives “with a quiet dignity that words cannot adequately describe.”

The play is not only a look at migrant life, but also a testament to friendship and, in the words of an old song, “the things we do for love.”

Other plays on the docket for the season are the musical “Mr. Burns – A Post-Electric Play” by Anne Washburn; the CBT’s annual beloved production of “A Christmas Carol” by

Charles Dickens; the short, one-man, hysterically funny play called “The Santaland Diaries,” based on writer David Sedaris’ experiences as a Macy’s department store elf; “Titus Andronicus,” Shakespeare’s tragedy of violent, bloody revenge; the thoughtful, powerful “A Lesson Before Dying,” by Earnest J. Gaines, adapted by Romulus Linney; the world premiere of the CBT-commissioned satire “The Open Hand”; and the tremendously popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific.”

The Clarence Brown Theatre’s production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” at the Carousel Theatre offers preview performances at 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow (Wednesday-Thursday, Sept. 30-Oct. 1). The opening-night performance is at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 2. The production runs through Oct. 18 and also includes three Sunday matinees. Info: clarencebrowntheatre.com or 974-5161.

Coach O boasts national brand

By Bonny C. Millard

Former players aid Vol recruiting

By Bonny C. Millard John Brice, assistant editor at VolQuest, found his calling in writing about sports and has the enviable job in East Tennessee of covering the UniverJohn Brice sity of Tennessee’s football team daily.

Brice spoke to the Rotary Club of Farragut about his experiences in writing about UT football and head coach Butch Jones.

Brice is the co-host of a syndicated radio program, “The Nation,” along with ESPN’s Chris Low; an analyst on the “Butch Jones TV Show”; and was recently named the sideline reporter for Vol Network.

Brice, who worked as a business and government newspaper reporter in Cleveland and Morristown, found his real interest was in sports coverage.

He worked as the sports editor for the Daily Times in Maryville before being hired by VolQuest in 2008.

“Sports is my passion.

Plus, I was never cut out for

a 9-to-5 job.”

VolQuest is part of Rivals.com network, which is owned by Yahoo. Brice said the industry continues to change, but his job offers a remarkable opportunity.

“It’s never been more challenging or rewarding than covering Butch Jones’ program. That’s because nobody ever outworks that guy.”

Brice said he has developed a strong working relationship with Jones, built on trust.

Although there are stories that Jones or the staff may not like, Brice said he’s always upfront with the coach, and that keeps their relationship on track.

Jones has done a “fantastic job” of unifying the fan base and former players, Brice said. Jones started connecting with former players not long after his arrival and that has helped the program, particularly in recruiting.

“A lot of young prospects today are following Leonard Little on Twitter or Jamal Lewis on Twitter or Peerless Price on Twitter.

These guys are very much pro-Butch Jones, and obviously pro-Tennessee.”

Running track came late in Charles Oliver’s high school career and vaulted him to success in college, which he later combined with his longtime desire to be in business. The result is Coach O, a nationally known name brand in the track and field world.

Through the years, Oliver, a West Knox resident, has provided guidance and opportunities for young athletes while receiving assistance from mentors who have helped him grow his business.

“I’m the national chair for AAU (Amateur Athletic Union), and this gives me an opportunity to work with many of the youth of America in terms of promoting and supporting physical activities throughout the country,” he said. “We definitely support health and wellness initiatives.”

Oliver, who recently celebrated 26 years in business, was on the program for Monday’s Black Business Showcase, sponsored by the Knoxville Area Urban League, Knoxville Chamber Propel Mentor and Protégé Program and Greater Knoxville SCORE. His businesses – Bags

by Coach O, Coach O Registration and Coach O Event Management – grew out of his experiences as an athlete and as a track and field coach. In high school in his hometown of Columbus, Ga., and later at

Troy University, Oliver set records in the 400-meter race and earned championship titles.

He coached at Troy University and was an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee. He won national championship rings both as an athlete and a coach.

Bags by Coach O was created when he saw a need in track and field that wasn’t being met. A toiletry bag gave him an idea as a means for athletes to carry their shoes. While in a store, Oliver wanted to see if it would work.

“So I took off my size 13s, and I put them in the bag. They fit comfortably. I thought, ‘Well, my 13s will fit in here, keys, wallet – just the stuff that you need when you’re at a track meet’ … This might be something that is beneficial to the sport of track and field.”

A friend in the sports world ordered three dozen.

“I found this product here,” he said, pointing to the current version of the original prototype. “I sent it to a friend of mine and said, ‘Hey, I’m thinking about starting a business.

What do you think?’ And he placed an order. That’s kind of how I got started.”

The Coach O Registration division is an online track and field events registration site. Coach O Event Management actually runs those events for other organizations, including the AAU Junior Olympic games.

Charles “Coach O” Oliver

“There is no other single company that does what we do at the level that we do it.

We’re one of the top merchandise equipment suppliers in the country. We’re the top online registration company in the country, and we probably manage more events than any other single entity. This is all under the umbrella of Coach O.” Working with young ath-

letes provides Oliver much satisfaction in his career.

“What I try to do is have an environment in which the kids are active. … Athletics gives us the opportunity to motivate and educate the youth. This is my opportunity to promote wellness and activities but more so an opportunity to educate them and instill structure in their lives.”

Manis champions beautification

Kenny Manis arrives at Nature’s Cove, an affordablehousing property in West Knox County, every morning before dawn to water the flowerbeds and landscaped features that he championed for the property.

Known to all residents as “Mr. Kenny,” Manis has been a maintenance manager with Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation for a decade and has worked in the industry for 40 years. He led the initiative at Nature’s Cove to increase the curb appeal of the property and create a sense of home for residents.

“The moment you can make these residents think of this as their home, they’ll help you take care of it,” said Manis, who has been at Nature’s Cove for six years.

“People want to live in a nice place, and they will help you make it happen.”

Manis began planting perennials several years ago and sought instruction on their care so the flowers and shrubs would return each year. Managing a tight budget while continuing to improve the look of the property can be a challenge, and Manis said he has learned many “tricks of the trade.”

He has cleared more than 50 trees and placed functional landscaping to help manage foot traffic and protect green spaces.

“It’s an enjoyable challenge,” he said. “Curb appeal is so important, and these improvements make the property a marketable product. The residents love

Kenny Manis shows off his landscaping at Nature’s Cove.

it, and if you can make the residents happy, they will get involved.”

As an example, Manis pointed to a bed of red rose bushes that he tends daily to keep the plants healthy and blooming. An elderly resident who enjoys the flowerbeds requested a yellow rose bush; another asked for pink roses. Manis was able to place both types in the garden.

Several residents have built flowerbeds in front of their homes. These residents ask Manis for advice, and when he has extra mulch, he helps with their personal gardens. Manis has even gotten the 85 children who live on the property to help.

“With so many children here, you have to have them on your side to keep things nice,” Manis said.

“I always keep candy around, and they know that if they stay out of my flowerbeds, they will be rewarded. I love having the kids around.”

“Kenny has gone above and beyond his job description to make Nature’s Cove a beautiful place for our residents to live,” said Kristie Toby, senior asset manager

for KCDC. “Every year, Kenny has a new feature planned to beautify the property. This personal project is on top of covering the everyday interior and exterior maintenance needs on all 95 units.

“Kenny’s skills as a landscaper are in such demand that he recently traveled to another KCDC property, Western Heights, to consult on landscape improvements.”

Manis oversaw the placement of 48 holly bushes, 20 mulberry trees and two dump-truck loads of mulch at the entrance to Western Heights. He enjoyed the experience, but his primary work still lies in Nature’s Cove.

“This is my world,” Manis said. “You don’t mind working hard when you can look back and see what you have done.

“I’m always thinking what I can do to improve it.”

Manis already has plans for next year, which include covering a stone retaining wall in creeping stone ivy and planting new holly bushes around several hightraffic green spaces.

Note: Story developed by Amanda Shell Jennings for KCDC.

Breakfast will help hammers swing There was no salad at the HopeBuilders Breakfast for Knoxville’s Habitat for Humanity on Sept. 24, but things were still looking green. The breakfast raised $30,525 to support affordable housing for deserving families in Knox County.

Approximately 150 people attended the event, which was hosted by Kelle Shultz, president and CEO of Knoxville Habitat. Guest speakers were Knoxville Habitat board member the Rev. Steve Misenheimer of

St. John’s Lutheran Church and Mary Welch, senior director of U.S. Affiliate Services for Habitat for Humanity International.

Welch began with Habitat for Humanity as a volunteer in 1994 and has over 30 years in nonprofit management. She spoke on “The Theology of the Hammer,” a concept of the late Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity.

Driving this inaugural event was the celebration of Knoxville Habitat’s 30th

year and the beginning of the building of home No. 500 in Knox County.

“We are so blessed by the support and generosity of this community,” said Shultz. “It’s because of the support of our covenant partners, donors and volunteers that we are here and able to provide an opportunity for low-income families to go through the program and work to become homeowners.”

Artsclamation!

Fine Art Sale benefits Peninsula Sale moves to new location: Lighthouse Knoxville The 14th annual Artsclamation! ne art sale will be held Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. at a new location: Lighthouse Knoxville, 6800 Baum Drive. Admission and parking are free.

Artsclamation! will feature original works by more than 30 noted regional and local artists who work with a variety of media including oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylics and photography, as well as an exclusive grouping of three-dimensional artists displaying jewelry, pottery, woodworking and ber art.

“The new location at Lighthouse Knoxville gives us the opportunity to expand our selection of artists in a welcoming, gallery-like environment that appeals to both the casual shopper looking to get an early start on holiday gifts and the serious art collector,” says Misty Brown, event director. “Almost a third of the artists at the sale this year are brand new to Artsclamation!, so repeat guests will de nitely have the opportunity to see and purchase something new.”

This year’s featured artist, Kate McCullough of Knoxville, is also a rst-time participant in Artsclamation! McCullough began painting in watercolor about 11 years ago after a 35-year hiatus from art. Initially her studies at Villa Marie College and SUNY College at Buffalo included general design, art history and oil and acrylic painting. When she returned to painting she decided that watercolor was a medium she would like to explore. McCullough immediately fell in love with it and has not looked back. She started with courses with Marcia Golden-

tion! Preview Party on Friday evening, Nov. 6, and may be viewed online at www.peninsulabehavioralhealth.org/arts. A limited number of museum-quality posters of the featured piece will also be available for purchase at the event.

Peninsula Outpatient Centers For people experiencing mild to severe mental health issues, Peninsula Outpatient Centers provide a wide range of services including individual and group therapy, support groups and medication management.

With outpatient centers in Knox, Loudon, Sevier and Blount counties, Peninsula serves individuals of all ages across East Tennessee. Each patient meets with Peninsula clinical staff at his or her rst appointment to

determine the best course of treatment. A patient’s plan may include daily medication, psychotherapy, case management or a combination of these.

The physicians at Peninsula Outpatient Centers may recommend an intensive outpatient program to provide more concentrated care than traditional outpatient sessions. For six to eight weeks, participants in the Adult or Adolescent Intensive Outpatient programs come to

the outpatient center in Knoxville (Peninsula Lighthouse) four to ve times a week to address issues that need intense treatment but do not require continuous care. These conditions include depression, anxiety disorders, anger management, ADHD, relationship problems, grief and loss and self-injurious behavior.

Alcohol and drug treatment is available through the Adult Intensive Outpatient Program at

Peninsula Hospital Peninsula Lighthouse Intensive Outpatient Program • Women in Treatment IOP Pharmacy • Therapeutic Groups • Support Groups

the Peninsula Lighthouse campus. For women suffering from addiction, Peninsula Outpatient offers Women in Treatment, a program for uninsured women age 18 to 64. Through this program, women can work on selfesteem, trauma, communication techniques, body image issues and other topics that are vital to well-being and happiness.

If you or a loved one is experiencing any symptoms of mental health issues, call Peninsula

Outpatient Centers at 865-970-9800 or visit www.
