Anthony Giattino and Logan Smith, two of the live-ins at the station, seen here with engine 241.
By Margie Hagen For young men and women interested in careers in public safety, emergency medical services and firefighting, Rural/Metro offers a way to learn and live – literally! Located at 160 N. Campbell Station Road in Farragut, the fire station provides 911 emergency and non-emergency services, community and specialty fire protection, and industrial and hazardous materials mitigation. Through a program called Liveins, the station is one of several that provide free housing along with hands-on training in exchange for work. Anthony Giattino is one of three currently living at the Campbell Station house. He became interested in becoming an emergency medical technician
as a result of a severe hand injury he suffered as a teen. The care he received inspired him to pursue a career in the field. Giattino, 21, became an advanced EMT and is studying for certification as a paramedic. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to live-in,� said Giattino. “I can continue my education and become qualified for a bigger scope of responsibility. When I’m on call I get to see and experience all kinds of things, and that helps sharpen my skills.� The live-ins provide their own food and have daily housekeeping chores, but to Giattino it’s a winwin. “I love it, it’s not really work for me. I keep busy all the time maintaining equipment, running calls and learning.� He plans on
continuing this career path. It’s not only men serving at the fire house; Brooke Shelton is one of three women working for Rural/Metro in the area. She is a fulltime advanced EMT working 24hour shifts at the station. While not a live-in, she does sleep in the firehouse while on duty. Holding a bachelor’s and two master’s degrees in fine arts, Shelton was an art teacher prior to attending the Rural/Metro Fire Academy. Making the decision to change careers was personal; her grandmother perished from smoke inhalation in a house fire. “I feel a different purpose now,� said Shelton, adding, “We don’t do it for the money.� She likes the fact that “every day is different and it’s constant training.�
By Margie Hagen The Farragut Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) continued discussion on the proposal for an assisted living facility off Grigsby Chapel Road. Applicant Sal Guadiano pressed his case for rezoning to allow for a mix of buildings to include a main facility and catered living villas. MPC agreed that portions of the site fall within land use guidelines for rezoning from R-4 (attached single family residential) to S-1 (community service or civic institution, i.e.,
assisted living), but both sides expressed concerns: ■Impact of additional traffic on Grigsby Chapel Road, ■Placement of buildings on the site, ■Infrastructure costs for the applicant. Guadiano’s plan currently calls for road access on Grigsby Chapel, directly lining up with Wyndham Hall Lane. Citing a traffic impact study conducted in 2014 by Cannon & Cannon, Guadiano maintains that traffic would not be adversely affected.
Wyndham Hall residents Mul Wyman and Michael Cain spoke against adding more vehicles to the already heavily trafficked road. “On an average workday roughly 16,000 vehicles travel the road, that’s more than even Campbell Station Road,� said Wyman. “The traffic study was flawed,� said Cain, adding, “We want our neighborhood to remain residential. As it is now, we can’t get out on Grigsby Chapel in the mornings.� AlTo page A-3

Shelton still teaches; she is an adjunct art appreciation professor at Tennessee Wesleyan College, and also finds time to work as a professional trainer at a gym in Bearden. Staying fit herself helps Shelton keep up her busy schedule. Encouraging young women to consider careers in firefighting and emergency services is another hat Shelton wears.

Knoxville Christian School student Eli Smith is only 6, but she has big plans. So do the other students in teacher Kelly Brown’s firstgrade class. Inspired by a video called “Socktober” from the popular “Kid President” web series, the children have conducted a monthlong, grassroots drive by the same name to collect new, warm socks for the city’s homeless. With Eli leading the charge, posting signs around Knoxville Christian School and even speaking at a schoolwide assembly, the children have made an impact. Socks are coming in from other students, friends in the community, a nearby daycare center, and members of Hardin Valley Church of Christ, where the Smiths are members. When the drive ends Oct. 31, Eli and her parents, Chad and Brooke Smith, will take all the socks to Knox Area Rescue Ministry for distribution. It all started when Eli, eldest of three sisters (who in-

Tim Burchett turned out a crowd for a ceremonial “big check� event for a state recreation grant which was announced almost a year ago. Prominent in the press release was the name Eddie Smith. Oct. 21: KNS’s Sevier County columnist Greg Johnson called Johnson a “garden variety Democrat in a heavily Republican area.� Huh? Smith beat Johnson by fewer than 200 votes in 2014. Oct. 21: WBIR-TV showed footage of Smith at the Fulton High game, presenting a
ceremonial street sign. Detecting a pattern? Goodness knows what will happen this week. And while Eddie Smith is a safe vote for the governor and the GOP majority, he’s not noted for any special legislative brilliance. Why are the governor and those he influences aligned against Gloria Johnson? Perhaps it’s because she is strongly opposed to outsourcing the jobs of career employees at UT. Maybe it’s because she gets the broader battle over charter schools and vouchers and
stands firmly on the side of public education. Maybe it’s just because she’s a Democrat in a state that seeks to be “Red to the Roots.� One-party rule is dangerous. It was bad for Tennessee for 100 years until Republicans started clawing back in the 1970s following the statewide elections of Howard Baker, then Bill Brock and Winfield Dunn. This writer was there then and stood with the insurgents. Now Republicans have a supermajority and are looking for more. The District
13 race will be the county’s closest on Nov. 8. Gov. Haslam has made it about him. He’s not for Donald Trump, but he’s all in for Eddie. We’ll see soon how that plays out.

government Burchett sniffs out truth on Hoffa Everybody knows about Tim Burchett and Big Foot. And Tim Burchett and metal detecting and Tim Burchett and motorcycles and Tim Burchett and World War II history (he lost an uncle in Europe and his dad, Charlie, fought in the Pacific). Tim Burchett is interested in a lot of stuff. But Tim Burchett and Jimmy Hoffa? Who knew? Turns out the Knox County mayor has harbored a long and abiding interest in the union strong man whose 1975 disappearance has spawned decades of rumors and conspiracy theories. Contrary to myth, Burchett says there’s no mystery about what really happened to the legendary Teamster boss. He says it was a clean, clinical, classic mob hit. “All those legends like the one about burying him under Giants Stadium? Stupid. They (organized crime) kill people for a living. He was shot in the back of the head and cremated within an hour.� Last week, Burchett was the featured book reviewer at the East Tennessee History Center’s “Books Sandwiched In,� sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The book he chose was, “I Heard You Paint Houses,� by former Las Vegas prosecutor Charles Brandt. It is the story of Frank “the Irishman� Sheeran, a mobster and a longtime Hoffa friend who decided to clear his conscience with a death-bed confession that he was the one who pumped two bullets into Hoffa’s skull on July 30, 1975. He said Hoffa’s body was taken to a local funeral home and deposited into an incinerator. The book’s title came from Sheeran’s account of the first thing Hoffa ever said to him, “I heard you paint houses� – mobsterese for the way blood splatters the walls and floors when someone is shot in the head at close range. Sheeran worked for East Coast Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, a business associate of Hoffa’s
Betty Bean with connections to the Las Vegas casino business. Sheeran told Brandt that his response to Hoffa was, “Yeah, and I do carpentry, too,� meaning that he knew how to dispose of corpses. Hoffa was elected president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1958 and became the most powerful figure in organized labor. He ran into a streak of bad luck in 1964 when he was convicted of jury tampering (and a long list of other offenses) and sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. He stayed on as president until 1971 when he resigned as part of a pardon deal with the Nixon administration (that also involved a bribe that Sheeran claimed to have delivered to Attorney General John Mitchell). When he got sprung, Hoffa was dismayed to learn that the deal barred him from getting his job back, and he started working to undermine it. Which led to his sudden demise. Filmmaker Martin Scorsese has optioned “I Heard You Paint Houses,� and Burchett is looking forward to the movie. He believes Sheeran’s story. “He was clearing his conscience before he died,� Burchett said. Burchett, a tee-totaling nonsmoker whose favorite epithet is dadgummit, says he can identify with Mafia stories like this one (and fictional accounts like “The Godfather� and “The Sopranos�). “I wanted to be the honest Don Corleone, to help people – without the bad stuff. I’d see that with my dad. People would come see him; he’d make a call and take care of it. “Hoffa genuinely cared about working people and made sure they were taken are of. And they loved him for it. He could have shut the country down.�

Alvin Nance seeks old job Alvin Nance, former executive director of KCDC who left to work for Lawler Wood Housing Partners, has applied for his old job back at Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation as Art Cate is retiring as director. Nance will have to compete with at least 38 other applicants, and the process will likely go into 2017. If he prevails, this will be the first time the same person has served twice as KCDC chief. Nance was highly regarded at KCDC and would be a safe and respected choice for another tour. He would not need on-the-job training. He also would not be running for mayor in a special election in 2017 or the regular election in 2019. ■Legislative observers are surprised at the ferocious nature of attacks between House Republicans with Democrats sitting still. Speaker Beth Harwell is blasting state Rep. Billy Spivey for his attacks on House Clerk Joe McCord and her leadership. Reps. Andy Holt and Rick Womick are attacking the speaker and the governor. Normally, a speaker would not criticize a minor House member (especially one who is retiring), which would only serve to elevate his public attention. Harwell accused Spivey of being a Jeremy Durham supporter when in fact he is not. She would have been better advised to have downplayed
Victor Ashe
the accusations and said where the actual charges stood as opposed to a heavy attack on Spivey himself. It achieved little for her record of calm, reason and stability. House Republicans have created a circular firing squad with these frequent attacks. Harwell is not a Ned McWherter, Jimmy Naifeh or Ron Ramsey in her speakership. She is more like Gov. Bill Haslam and less given to cracking the whip on dissident members. She will likely win reelection to her Nashville House seat but also faces a serious opponent in Jimmy Matlock for her Speaker post. Her problem is that her House district is moderate and her House caucus is much more conservative, making it very difficult for her to represent both at the same time. â– The Gloria Johnson/Eddie Smith race for state representative is hot and both are going all out. Smith is linking himself to U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan and Haslam. Both have appeared for him, along with U.S. Rep. Diane Black, who is mentioned as a candi-
date for governor in 2018. Jim Haslam, father of Gov. Haslam, has been especially vocal in his backing for Smith. The governor has appeared in Smith TV ads. Johnson has had retired UT football coach Johnny Majors and Mayor Madeline Rogero doing appearances for her. Rogero has also assured Smith that she will be measured in her backing of Johnson and appeared with him in Sequoyah Hills’ Talahi Park last week for a check presentation. This is an attempt by Rogero to hedge her bets if Smith wins and she has to deal with him as chair of the Knox delegation for two more years. The fact is, Rogero is playing both sides on this one. ■David Kustoff, GOP nominee for Congress in West Tennessee, benefited from a small fundraiser at Cherokee Country Club last week hosted by Duncan, Jim Haslam and developer and UT vice chair Raja Jubran. Kustoff, former U.S. Attorney, won a 13-way contest in August and is assured of winning Nov. 8. He, along with Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, are both from Shelby County. This marks the first time Tennessee has had two members of Congress who are Jewish. Cohen is a liberal Democrat while Kustoff is a conservative Republican. ■James Corcoran, who ran a strong race for state representative against Martin Daniel, has endorsed
Daniel on the grounds “his economic policies will be better for Tennessee� than his opponent’s (Brandi Price). Corcoran and Daniel combined for 64 percent of the GOP primary vote in the West Knox County district. ■Knoxville lost a great friend and history proponent with the death of Bud Albers, 91. A wellknown and s uc c e s s f u l businessman, Albers was an avid Bud Albers historian active in the East Tennessee Historical Society. ■The Coffee County GOP has condemned Gov. Haslam for opposing Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for president. Coffee County is the home of Tullahoma and Manchester as well as the site of the Bonnaroo festival. Next year could be critical for the future of the festival, which sold only 45,000 tickets in 2016, down from 70,000 tickets sold in 2015. The GOP committees in Lincoln (Winchester) and Macon (Red Boiling Springs) have adopted similar resolutions. This is unprecedented. ■Early voting has been very heavy with over 9,200 voting on the first day. Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knoxville and U.S. Ambassador to Poland.
Show me the money By Lauren Hopson Several weeks ago, I had the privilege of witnessing the drumlines from Halls and Powell High Schools perform at the opening of the new Kroger Hopson in Powell. It was a proud moment as a parent, not only to watch my son perform and show off the results of untold hours of hard work, but to witness bands from rival schools exhibiting an air of collaboration and sportsmanship so often lacking in today’s world. An exciting moment of the event occurred when the Kroger staff presented $500 checks to the directors of each band, Eric Baumgartner and Richard Shaw. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy and appreciative that Kroger understood the need to value those programs and express it in a very tangible way. However, I couldn’t help thinking of the statistic I heard at my very first band parent meeting just over a year ago.
Apparently, our school system provides band programs across the county with just $750. Not per student. Not per game. Per year. That amount doesn’t even pay for the expenses incurred during one away game, much less music, uniforms, instruments or instrument repair. Then, I thought about how much it costs parents out-of-pocket to support their children who have musical aspirations. A parent whose child is involved in marching band and spring percussion ensemble puts out around $1,000 just so his or her kid can participate. Then I thought of the crushed dreams of the kids who don’t get to participate because they can’t afford it. Finally, I thought about the amount of money school systems are required to spend on standardized testing, computers for testing, test prep materials, and other unproven initiatives. I wondered what has happened to our priorities. We are supposed to have a system of free public education in our country so that
no student receives less of an education due to lack of ability to pay. In Knox County, we are proud that we haven’t had a tax increase in eons. Are we proud that we need a Teacher Supply Depot just to outfit classrooms with necessary supplies? Are we proud that we require working families to pay hundreds of dollars a year in class and supply fees? Yes, I know families can get waivers, but if everyone decides not to pay, then what will our children have to go without? I like to think that, over the last several years, I have helped to hold our school system accountable for how it spends money. However, we still have a lot of work to do in prioritizing how to al-
locate those funds. Do we need layer upon layer of administration, technology for 5-year-olds and expensive tests that tell teachers what we already know, or do we need to invest in the actual learning of our students? Our kids need to feel the support for their dreams in tangible ways. We can’t just support the dreams of kids going off to college to be doctors, lawyers and scientists, but also the dreams of the ones who will fi x our cars, build our homes, or perform on Broadway or at Madison Square Garden. Show me the money for that student in auto-body class or the one in the art studio. Show me the money for that kid in the drumline. Lauren Hopson is president of the Knox County Education Association.
GOSSIP AND LIES ■In case anyone cares, I’m voting for Hillary Clinton ■Respected conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote that Trump “offered a dazzling array of reasons for disqualification: habitual mendacity, pathological nar-

Glamour and heartbreak For generations, Tennessee football has been the biggest show in town. It is a glamorous game, full house at Neyland Stadium, color, pageantry, Smokey, standing ovations, “Rocky Top� again and again – and even ESPN GameDay if excitement peaks. Fans worship the Volunteers. Have you ever been to the Vol Walk? Thousands and more renew wedding vows with the Vols each spring when they skip a car payment to buy season tickets. Lives are planned around the schedule. Memories are forever. Long run. Pick six. Eightyyard pass on the opening play. Letterman status carries all the way to obituaries. We never forget.

Danny was down and ing gear, country music, big not moving much.
Teammates grasped the gravity of the situation. They took a knee. Medical experts feared the worst, critical head or spinal injury. They called for a big board to support the big body and gingerly lifted him onto a John Deere wagon to be hauled away. That was the last we saw of Danny, 11:44 to go in the fourth quarter. There was good news at the hospital, no debilitating damage. He recovered sufficiently to fly home with the team. A few hours later, he got fired. Butch Jones said it was a violation of team rules. Butch didn’t make the decision. The penalty came down from the university. Best guess is a third failed drug test. Teammates expressed surprise and hurt. Danny was very popular. As a fifth-year
senior, he had seen it all, losses to Vanderbilt, coaching changes, seasons of hard labor, no recognition, no complaints. Danny could have been chased away earlier. On the early Sunday morning of Feb. 9, 2014, in the fallout from a loud party directed by A.J. Johnson and Dontavis Sapp, sheriff’s deputies charged Danny O’Brien O ’ B r i e n with criminal impersonation, resisting arrest and underage consumption of alcohol. The real sin was the fake ID. Jones imposed what he considered proper punishment. The court eventually dismissed the case. Danny got in trouble again in September 2015.
He was suspended. He said the correct things, that he was learning from his blunders, “partying mistakes and all that stuff,� and that he would cut out the distractions out of respect for the team. He missed two games. Finally came the straw that broke the camel’s back. Tennessee football didn’t end right for Danny O’Brien. I was sorry to see him go. Down deep, he is a good man who made bad decisions. He got a degree but gave more than he got. I liked something else. Danny’s dad, Kelly, and grandfather Phil served in the Army. Danny was proud of that. On Veterans Day, he said, “Thank you to the true heroes who defend our flag and freedom.� No question that Danny O’Brien stands for the national anthem. I like that.

Making the case for Donald Trump This election is rigged. All of it. And if Donald Trump somehow comes back to win on Election Day it will be the biggest upset since Harry Truman came back to defeat Thomas Dewey in 1948. When I write that the election is rigged, I’m not referring to the vote itself (at least not around here). Tennessee has hard-working election officials who will ensure the integrity of the ballot. This election is rigged because the national media and Democratic Party have never been so coordinated in their efforts to destroy the Republican nominee and influence the outcome of the election. The (now infamous) recorded conversation between Donald Trump and
Scott Frith
Billy Bush occurred 11 years ago, and it’s easy to speculate that NBC had that audio tape before the Republican primary. And they waited until now to use it. If NBC were a news organization, instead of a political organization, they would have released the audio prior to the primary, and Republicans (if so inclined) could have nominated someone else. NBC didn’t. They didn’t care about keeping Trump out of the White House. Republicans could have
stopped Trump in the primaries. Instead, and more revealingly, NBC waited until weeks before the general election – for maximum effect – to help put Hillary Clinton in the White House. In fact, a cynic might even say that Trump was a media-empowered Trojan horse used to destroy the Republican Party in 2016. Think about it. The purpose of these daily media frenzies isn’t just to defeat Donald Trump, but it’s also to elect Democrats to Congress. In states like Florida and Arizona, previously safe Republican incumbents like John McCain and Marco Rubio are threatened by this incessant anti-Trump media barrage. If these incumbents were to lose, and enough congressional seats switch parties in
a Clinton landslide, a President Clinton and a Democratic-controlled Congress could replace Obamacare with a single-payer health care system and remake the Supreme Court in their own liberal-corporatist image, endangering the rights of gun owners and thwarting a generation of conservative advances. As Republicans, we cannot allow the Democrats and their accomplices in the media to succeed. There’s only one way to break this axis of Democratic-media corruption. Defeat Hillary Clinton. And now the only way to defeat Clinton is to elect Donald Trump. Many longtime Republicans are struggling to vote for Trump. Never have so many Republicans been so

In fact, it says a lot about the state of our politics that Republicans are forced to vote for a scoundrel to prevent the election of Hillary Clinton – the most corrupt major party candidate in a generation.

Passing the torch As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous. ‌ (Joshua 1:5b NRSV) Children in the Westgate Christian Fellowship congregation gather for an event at West Hills Elementary School. Over the last 10 years the congregation has grown and moved to several locations.
Westgate moves into
Assembly of God building Mark and Robin Steinbach came here 10 years ago. Westgate Christian Fellowship is buying the building from the Assembly of God congregation on Campbell Station Road and will hold its first service there Oct. 30.
By Carolyn Evans The father of five who does home remodeling on the side is about to move to new digs – not a new house, but a new home for his congregation, Westgate Christian Fellowship. For the last 10 years, Mark Steinbach has worked secular jobs “for the privilege of preaching the gospel.� But on Oct. 30, his congregation will finally settle down in the former Assembly of God building on Campbell Station Road. Ten years ago Steinbach and his wife, Robin, and three of their five kids (two were already in college) came here from Nebraska to plant a church. “We felt like God was leading us here,� he says. “My brother pastors in Maryville. We came and helped them start that church, and about a year and a half after that, we came to Knoxville. We started meeting in our home, then moved to a small church, a hotel across from Westown, then to West Hills Elementary School, then our
current location in the Hardin Valley area. “They have a pretty large facility here and hit a rough patch for a while. After much prayer and dialogue, we agreed to move Westgate here. We’re purchasing instead of leasing, so we’re kind of excited about that.� Steinbach says Westgate, part of the Assemblies of God denomination, is “simple, relevant and real.� “‘Simple’ means to love God and love others,� he says. ‘Relevant’ is ministry that matters in everyday life. We don’t need more Bible knowledge. What we need is to know how the Bible helps us every day. ‘Real’ — we don’t need phony and hype. We need to know there are real people connected to a real god who has real answers. I still believe in miracles. We’re a spirit-filled church. We believe the spirit still works
Mark and Robin Steinbach stand in front of their new church building. “After much prayer and dialogue, we agreed to move Westgate here,� Mark said. “We’re purchasing instead of leasing, so we’re kind of excited about that.� and moves in lives today. We want people to know there’s hope for them. My goal is to bring people to a vibrant, growing relationship with the Lord.� Steinbach says the congregation is multi-generational and multicultural. “We’ve have some people coming from a great dis-
Sunday morning service, nurseries and kids classes, but plans to add Sunday school. On Wednesday evenings there are youth and adult Bible studies, Royal Rangers for boys and M Club for girls. The congregation also supports about 20 missionaries in some 15 countries and is seriously looking at a local, innercity ministry and starting a ministry for seniors. “Our plan down the road is to plant Northgate,
Southgate and Eastgate,� Steinbach says. The church is planning a free Christmas dessert theater for the community, 6:30 p.m., Dec. 11, and an open house in the spring. “I’m very excited to be part of the Farragut community,� Steinbach says. “I love East Tennessee. I plan to stay here the rest of my life. My heart’s been knit here. I bleed red for the Huskers, but I cheer for the Vols every weekend.�

Joshua has always been one of my favorite Biblical heroes. I freely admit that part of my affection for him is founded in the fact that John Derek played Joshua in Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,� and he was quite a handsome young man! (I also freely admit that was many, many years ago, when I was not yet a teenager.) In the years since, I have seen many torches passed: from generation to generation, the responsibilities, the stories, the dreams, as well as the heartbreaks and failures are handed down and remembered. They become part of who we are. What started me thinking about the passing of torches, I suppose, is the coming election. One of the most impressive aspects of our electoral system is the fact that our votes are cast, counted and recorded, and the outcome is accepted by the populace. The changing of the guard — the handing over of power — happens without warfare, and thankfully, the government goes on. We Americans are blessed to be able to choose our leaders. We all have opinions to which we are entitled, and we get to express our opinion by voting. Part of our covenant as a nation is that we accept the outcome of the election. Whether our candidate is elected or not, when the voting is over, we are still America, and so far at least, the Republic has survived. It behooves us to be involved, to be aware, to think deeply about what is at stake. And it behooves us to remember that we are “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.�

Traditional or standardized report cards? By Kip Oswald Report cards came home last week, and grades became the hot topic of conversation in our family! While we were at our friend’s football game, I heard Mom and Aunt Becky talkKip ing about how they didn’t understand report card grades. So I asked Mom later and she explained. Mom has two friends whose kids are in fourth grade but in different schools. Both of them made an A in math, but one of them has not even started working on two- and threedigit multiplication while the other one has and is even starting division. The parents are worried that the A’s don’t really mean the same thing although they are given on the same report card. Mom’s other friend’s daughter, Lucy, goes to Gresham Middle, where she receives a report card that shows which skills she has learned and which skills she needs to work on. It is called a standards-based report card. Evidently, Mom’s friends were saying that all schools should have this type of report card. Since we had never heard of it, Kinzy and I began our researching and boy, we found a lot of information! We found that most states have specific skills students are expected to
know at each grade level and standards to show kids’ understanding of the skills. A lot of schools are changing their report cards to show how a student is doing in learning the standards. So, instead of the familiar A - F in each subject, this new report card has a number that shows whether the student has reached, exceeded or not yet met those expectations or is advanced, proficient, basic or below basic for each standard. Advanced does not equal an A on a traditional report card. For example, if I receive A’s on every math test during the semester, I would probably receive an A on a traditional report card. If those math tests measured only the concepts seventhgraders are expected to master, those A’s would be the equivalent of “proficient” on a standards-based report card; I would be doing what I should be doing, but not necessarily more. The skills-based report card keeps all kids graded on the same grade-level skills and parents can see exactly which skills and knowledge their child has learned. If Mom’s friends had gotten this k ind of report card, one kid would have been at the basic level and the other at a more proficient level. Then grades don’t vary from school to school as they can do with regular report cards. Do your own research into standards-based report cards and send your comments to oswaldsworldtn@ gmail.com
Co-principal Susan Espiritu points to Hawaii on the globe.

Ja’Niyah Thornhill takes a virtual tour of Hawaii on her Chromebook. She is wearing a lei.
Espiritu shows principal’s other side By Sandra Clark Co-principal Susan Espiritu met with the Leaders Club at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy after school last week to discuss her experiences in Hawaii. Although she grew up in Fountain City, when she was 15 her family picked up and moved to Hawaii after a pleasant vacation there. “They sold their business and their house,” she said. After nine months, they decided to return. She met the man she would eventually marry, Charlie Espiritu, there. He was born in the Philippines but grew up in Hawaii. A great swimmer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a SEAL, she said. They’ve been married 43 years now and have three children and several grandchildren. The whole family will return to Hawaii in December to visit family there. It’s a 10-hour flight from Atlanta to Hawaii, which lies some 2,500 miles from Knoxville. Espiritu gave each kid a lei, and teacher Porscha Harris led them on a virtual tour of Hawaii via Chromebook. Ruth White and I learned more about Hawaii than we ever knew, and now Ruth wants to go for a vacation. Here’s what our junior reporters noted:
KeShawn Jackson – Men and women wear leis; they use a sling with a spear to catch fish; they eat octopus; music is the biggest thing; they play all types of sports. Hawaii is the only island with a live volcano. The Hula is a dance show story. There are no snakes, no poison ivy, no air conditioning, no alligators. There is lots of sushi, lizards and tropical birds. Ja’Maya Hollis – Their houses are not like those on the mainland. (They tend to have single wall construction without insulation because the weather is temperate. There’s no need for heating or air conditioning, although they do have fans.) Zora Freeman – Mrs. Susan Espiritu moved to Hawaii to see Hawaiian culture. She travels there by plane and returns to see her husband’s family and for the beach. Ja’Niyah Thornhill – She recalled the principal’s story about the time Charlie and his brother dived for octopus. The way to kill it is to turn the skin on its head inside out so the inky poison paralyzes the octopus. One time they brought a dead octopus up for Susan to hold and it wrapped its legs around her legs. “They could
hear me screaming at the bottom of the ocean.” The islands have snow on high mountains … no air conditioning, alligators or poison ivy. Ashaundae Bowman – They dive and fish for sea animals. They boil the fish, then eat it. Some things they eat raw. They cook pigs at a luau (a big pig buried in a hole and a little pig turned on a pole stuck through the pig) … They have a volcano and volcanic ash (black beach). Donnisha Garrett – Mrs. Espiritu’s family lives in Hawaii. They wear leis and have parties.

Halloween comes early for
story time
Merry Shipley selected a Halloween-themed book for the Farragut Branch Library’s October Once Upon a Story Time event. Here she’s reading from “What Am I?”, a “My Look and See Holiday Book” that was well-received by her costumed audience.
SCHOOL NOTES ■ Rocky Hill Elementary will host its annual Mad Science Night from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27. Free event focusing on fusing Halloween fun and science. Includes: a haunted house, zoo animals, science experiments with Mr. Bond and the UT Science department and more. Hosted by the Rocky Hill PTO.
By Suzanne Foree Neal A sea of Halloween-costumed children packed the media room at the Farragut Branch Library for an early holiday treat. “Miss Merry” read from Halloweenthemed books; there was a rousing rendition of “Itsy Bitsy Spider”; a craft project and candy and cupcakes at the end. Branch manager Marilyn Jones and Merry Shipley take turns leading the once monthly Once Upon a Story Time designed for ages 3 to 6, but as Jones explains, “sometimes a little younger or a little older.” While today’s youngsters are often glued to some type of electronic device, Jones says part of their learning experience is tactile so it’s important for them to hold a book and see how it operates. “Listening to a person read is different from listening to a voice on something,” she says. “There’s also the social aspect.”
HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS
As Merry Shipley led the children in singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” complete with all the motions, here, in the first row, “washing the spider out” are Madeline Waldmann and Rea Dorothy Taylor with Emery Campbell and Juliet Honeycutt behind them. time and crafts. Books developmentally enhance children and get them ready for the classroom atmosphere.” They also learn listening skills when “Miss Merry” puts fingers to her lips, a sign for quiet. Something not taught by electronics. The next story time at the Campbell Station Road branch is 10:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 4. It’s open to the public.

Charlie Biggs, director, talks with Erika Layton (right) and other guests at the 50th anniversary celebration of Knoxville Montessori School.
Knoxville Montessori marks 50th year By Sandra Clark Director Charlie Biggs and the faculty/staff at the Knoxville Montessori School hosted a celebration of the school’s 50th anniversary on Saturday at the school’s 4311 Kingston Pike location, adjacent to Western Plaza. Board chair Erika Layton said the building has been expanded and the playground upgraded. Kids were enjoying that playground during the event that few wanted to leave. A former metal slide is the centerpiece of a massive wooden treehouse. Wood and natural substances were plentiful and plastic was scarce.

M.S. McClellan and Company celebrates 50 years By Carol Z. Shane When you ask Matthew McClellan what drove him, with no managerial experience and limited resources, to open a fine clothing store back in 1966, he’s very clear with his answer. “I’d worked in a clothing store all through college and found that was my passion.� Indeed, his experiences in Fred Brown’s and Shriver’s department stores gave the young UT student his own ideas, and it wasn’t long before he opened his first store on Cumberland Avenue. At the time there were seven fine menswear stores already well-established in Knoxville. However, 50 years later, M.S. McClellan and Company – now located at Melrose Plaza in Bearden – is the only one left standing. A typical day at the store finds McClellan and his son Bob talking shop in the store’s office. “Heritage lines are coming back,� says Bob. “English country wear like Barbour is becoming popular again.� Other brands mentioned are Alden shoes, made in New England, Wolverine boots and Southwick clothing, “made in the good ol’ U.S. of A.,� says Matthew. “Oxxford is our highest end,� says Bob. “Make sure you put two Xs in that,� says Matthew. The Robb Report has called that
top-of-the-line company “the quintessential American suit maker.� But the McClellans also know a bit about suit making and tailoring. “At least 50 percent of our business is bespoke clothing,� says Matthew. “I learned early on how to adapt to the marketplace without sacrificing the style that has inspired me,� he continues. “It’s become a real test to compete with e-commerce and catalogs, but I’m proud that in an age of cookie cutter retailers M. S. McClellan has managed to stay around as well as stay relevant to our customers.� On Oct. 29, M.S. McClellan and Company will celebrate its 50th birthday with a party at Cherokee Country Club. Having begun with three part-time employees, today the company has 10 full-time associates and six administrative and support employees. All – including former employees and industry friends – will be there to raise a glass to “One of the South’s Great Stores.� And it all began with a student’s passion. “That’s not a word they used very much back then,� Matthew admits. But one trip to M.S. McClellan and Company will assure the customer that that passion still burns bright.

Fire tips
It’s time to plant dogwoods
By Shannon Carey
It’s dogwood planting time in Tennessee, and Vicki Baumgartner, program manager for Dogwood Arts, has all the details. In Halls last week, Baumgartner said the Fountain City trail will be featured in 2017 with special attention to the trails in North Hills and Timberline. “You can buy trees online or from one of our nursery partners,” she said. Small, bare-root dogwoods are just $25. The festival requires a constant replenishing of new dogwoods. Baumgartner She said the average urban dogwood has a 25- to 30-year lifespan. Dogwood Arts was organized in 1955 with the first festival in 1961. Trees planted at the outset are now 60 years old, if still alive. Bazillion Blooms is a promotion, now in its eighth year, to plant 10,000 trees in 10 years. It’s on track with nearly 8,000 April-blooming, disease-resistant dogwood trees having been planted. Baumgartner joined the Dogwood Arts team in 2015, coordinating the outdoor component of programming. A graduate of UT, she has served on the Dogwood Arts board and volunteered on several committees including Bazillion Blooms and Dogwood After Dark. She served as interim director at the Knoxville Botanical Garden. She has also served on the board of Random Acts of Flowers and the French Broad Preservation Association.

October is Fire Prevention Month and Jeff Bagwell, a lieutenant with Rural/Metro Fire Department, is spreading the word to adults and kids across Knox County. “But I think the only people that listen are the kids,” he said, speaking to the Halls Business and Professional Association. Although Rural/Metro has served Knox County since 1977, Bagwell says he’s shocked at the number of people “who don’t know who we are.” Knoxville residents and businesses are served by the Knoxville Fire Department, a division of city government. Residents who live in the town of Farragut or in unincorporated areas outside either municipality are served by Rural/Metro, a subscription-based company. “We receive no money from Knox County. Our funding is from subscribers.” FAQ: Why does a fire truck come when I call for an ambulance? Every fire truck is
equipped to do everything an ambulance does, except transport to a hospital, Bagwell said. Will you answer a call from a non-subscriber? Yes, we Jeff Bagwell will always come, even if you don’t subscribe. But it’s better to be a subscriber ahead of time than to pay the bill after the fact, he said. What should families do to be safer? Install smoke detectors and change the batteries every time you set your clocks for the time change. Do exit drills at home. Practice tonight by turning off all lights and making your way from your bedroom outside. You’ll find obstructions. Clear them; keep exit pathways clear. Check fire extinguishers. And hang them between the stove (most common source of fire) and the kitchen exit.
A year ago this week – the actual date was Oct. 28, 2015 – “The Rotary Guy” made his debut in The Shopper News. Most weeks it appears in all eight editions, from Halls to South Knoxville and from Union County to Farragut. The Rotary Guy was created by the publisher of The Shopper News, Sandra Clark, a professional I have known and respected since we first met many years ago. Even the name – The Rotary Guy – was her idea. I am a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Farragut and a Rotarian of 26 years. I write the weekly newsletter for my club and was a newspaperman for 35 years. Here’s how this Rotary Guy started. In September 2015 Sandra visited a Wednesday meeting of Farragut Rotary. “Hey, we need to talk after your meeting.” Then she laid out her idea for this weekly column. Every week? “Yep, every week,” she said. I wondered then – is there enough happening in these seven clubs for a weekly column? After the year it’s clear that there is – and then some. As this one-year anniversary approached, I asked Sandra how and why she created The Rotary Guy. When the Halls Shopper started a Bearden edition, Sandra wanted
to meet the “movers and shakers.” She began going to Bearden Rotary every Friday. “I met some of the best folks in town. Not only did Phil Parkey and Richard Bettis buy my lunch, but they donated $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation in my name, making me a Paul Harris Fellow,” she said. These days you can often find her at meetings of the North Knox club. “Then we launched the Farragut Shopper and you started nagging me about the abundance of Bearden Rotary news in the Farragut Shopper ... and the lack of Farragut coverage,” she said. “You were incensed. That got me thinking about The Rotary Guy. “So you and I crafted the idea of Rotary Guy. You’re a member, but you’re also a news professional. You’ve hit the perfect pitch in talking about clubs and Rotarians.” It’s an honor to be “The Rotary Guy” and to spread the news about the good work and the good Rotarians all around us. Sandra added this: “I love this column and know that others do as well. That’s why we have complaints when it’s left out of the Powell zone – and Powell doesn’t even have a Rotary Club.” It’s been a great year. The Rotary Guy thanks Rotary and Sandra Clark!

Memories unfold at KHS 60-year class reunion By Nancy Anderson Around 75 students graduated from Karns High School in 1956. Seventeen of them gathered at the Old Karns Library on Friday, Oct. 21. Now known as the Karns Community Center, the building was barely two years old in 1956. Many remarked how it looked the same, but the trees were bigger. While chatting over a potluck dinner of fried chicken, potato salad and numerous desserts, the graduates, along with three spouses, told the story of how they were denied a senior prom because as juniors they refused to fundraise for the 1959 senior class as was the custom in those days. Each school day began with a music jam session, when Barbara Lewis would play piano and Diane Watkins sang or led them all in
song. No one remembered what specific songs they sang, but Lloyd Bowers was particularly impressed as he married Lewis in the early ’60s, and they remain a steadfast couple to this day. Class president Mary Hubbard, the first female ever to be elected, was missed. Everyone seemed to wonder where she had gone and what her life had become as she was never seen again after graduation. Aileen Yarnell Tullock was voted most unchanged, her lively sense of humor and rapier wit still apparent. Novenia “Bo” Daugherty Fallon, from Lawton, Okla., traveled the farthest for the reunion. “Except for the red light at Weigel’s and a few of the older roads, the place is completely unrecognizable!” Terry Calhoun, who
along with his friend Tommy Walker was unofficially voted most likely to be a troublemaker, reminisced how the newly installed red light kept getting shot out as it interfered with drag race that may or may not have been going on at the time. There were also stories of skinny dipping in Beaver Creek, with one attendee remarking that’s why the swimming pool was built. Event organizer Barbara Brown Stevens seemed pleased with the success of the reunion saying, “We missed a few, some couldn’t come and of course many have passed; but it was so good to see everyone. Maybe for the last time, we don’t know. But today was wonderful and reliving fun times was nice. We were, and still are, a headstrong crowd, but we have such fond memories of each other.”
Lloyd Bowers and Barbara Lewis share a giggle on the front lawn of Karns High School in 1956. They married in 1964 and remain a couple who prefer to laugh at life’s foibles to this day.

Family fun at Fire Prevention Festival Families got the opportunity to learn a little about safety and help provide meals to families in need on Saturday at the Knox County Fall Fire Prevention Festival at Tennova Turkey Creek Medical Center. This is the ninth year for the free, public event that is sponsored by the
Fire Prevention Bureau and features the City of Knoxville Fire Department, Rural/Metro Fire and EMS, Knox County Sheriff’s Office, Knoxville Volunteer Rescue Squad and other public and private agencies. In addition to giving out fire safety and emergency preparedness informa-
tion, the event offered games, trunk and treat and children’s activities. Food concessions were available and 100 percent of proceeds from food sales went to Second Harvest, a Knoxville charity that provides meals to families in need in East Tennessee.
CAK history students mummify chickens By Carolyn Evans The chicken sarcophagus sits at the back of the middle school classroom. Each Friday, students at Christian Academy of Knoxville remove a store-bought chicken from the plywood trunk painted with gold. They don plastic gloves and remove the old salt that has drawn out fluids, then add new salt to continue the mummification process. In ancient Egypt, it took 70 days to mummify a body, says sixth-grade history teacher Melissa Davenport, but a chicken needs only six weeks. The ancient Egyptians took out all the internal organs except the heart, Davenport says, because they thought the heart contained the soul. They filled the body cavity with salt and buried it in a mountain of salt for 70 days to pull body moisture out. Not only are CAK students getting a history lesson about ancient Egypt, but Davenport is using the opportunity to teach a little science (the chicken gets smaller), as well as narrative writing, photography and videography. Each stu-
dent has a chance to write, photograph, video, and of course, salt the class’s chicken. The kids are enthusiastic about the project. “It’s fun to mummify a chicken,” says Caleb Knutsen, who helped remove salt and add new salt to the chicken on Friday, “because it’s just like mummifying a human in real life.” Does the project inspire him to go into the medical profession? “No,” he says, “I want to grow up and play baseball.” Classmate Abigail Barnes got to help remove old salt, then took her place with the video crew. The group will edit the videos to make a movie of the mummification. Once students have made new weekly observations, Davenport posts the reports, videos and photos on her classroom website for students and parents to see. At end of the six weeks, each class will wrap its chicken in linen, and back in the chicken sarcophagus it will go. Then at the end of the year, students will take the chickens out, unwrap them,
Melissa Davenport opens the chicken sarcophagus in her classroom. This is her third year to do the project with students.

Why screening mammography matters to one family Mother encourages daughters to be their own healthcare advocates Anne and Audrey Calkins were taught as young women to know their bodies. They believe that is a lesson worth sharing, particularly during October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2004, their mother, Debby Calkins, 47, lost her fight to breast cancer, leaving them devastated, but also equipped to face the future. Their mom expected them to be proactive and take charge of their own health care. Debby stressed to her daughters, “Know yourself and your body.” “Mom was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer at the age of 40,” Audrey said. “If it had been detected sooner, she would be more likely to still be with us.” “Mom was not only an A+ mother, but an A+ person overall,” Anne said. Her friends and family described Debby as the prime example of a great, well-rounded mother. She exercised regularly, sang in her church choir, prepared church meals, was involved in each of her daughter’s extracurricular activities and worked night shifts as a medical technologist at a laboratory so she could be with them during the day. Debby’s sister, Connie Wagner, described her as creative and meticulous. A baseline mammogram at 36 showed Debby was in good health; however, within just four years she was diagnosed with stage four cancer. “We have no family history of breast cancer,” Wagner said. However, even those patients with no family history should not ignore routine screenings. As Director of Imaging at Parkwest Breast Center, Wagner sees many newly diagnosed patients who have no history of breast cancer, some of whom are in their 30s and 40s. “This is why it disheartens me that some organizations recommend women wait until age 50 to be screened. My family suffered a great loss when my sister died from breast cancer. I hope and pray every day that other families do not have a similar experience,” she said. Early detection matters to women, and “it certainly mattered to my sister,” Wagner said. Debby experienced tremendous amounts of back pain, but X-rays could not provide a clinical reason why. “For an X-ray to show bone cancer, it
Audrey and Anne sharing a hug must consume more than 30 percent, so although it was there, it could not been detected,” she explained. After she slipped in a parking lot and suffered persistent pain, Debby’s family insisted she seek further medical attention. An MRI confirmed that she had metastatic cancer in her bones. The very next day, Dr. Spence McCachren, a medical oncologist with Thompson Oncology Group, observed dimpling on her left breast during a clinical exam and immediately knew the odds she faced were not favorable. After a successful round of chemotherapy, Debby had the first stem-cell transplant in Knoxville with Dr. Richard Grapski, also with Thompson Oncology Group. A few months after the transplant, Debby underwent a mastectomy followed by radiation therapy. This proved to be successful, and prolonged Debby’s life by placing her in remission for several years. While Debby’s disease was advanced, detecting it at age 40 allowed her to pursue treatment options that she might not have had if detected later. With her positive attitude, and a great support network, her treatment made it possible to stretch her life nearly eight years, after an initial prognosis of only six months. As she neared the end of her treatment, Debby’s family had reached another milestone with her. “In August of 2003, I drove Debby and the girls to Wake For-
est University for Audrey’s freshman orientation,” Wagner said. “I remember that Debby was so happy, giggling, joking with a goofy smile on her face all day. She remarked that this was THE DAY, the goal that she would live to see Audrey off to college, an answered prayer.” Audrey finished college and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 2011. Currently, she works as a labor and employment defense lawyer in Memphis. Her sister, Anne, completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard and performed research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in DNA damage and repair pathways in breast and ovarian cancers. She
will graduate from medical school in May from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. After completing her residency, she plans to become a radiation oncologist. “I hope to have a career that lets me both see patients and be involved in research to help make new discoveries and impact our treatments for cancer,” she said. Both women monitor their healthcare closely. Considered high risk, Audrey has annual screening mammograms. “Every year, my exam day is trying and emotional. In March 2012, I found a lump which the doctor biopsied. Although it was negative for cancer, I was diagnosed with a fibro adenoma, and now have a tumor marker in my left breast as a result,” she said. Anne proactively addresses her concerns too. “I discussed options with my primary care physician, and we agreed on a plan,” she said. “I intend to seek ultrasonography and mammograms beginning at age 30, as a result of my mother’s young age at the time of her diagnosis.” Guided by their mother’s wisdom, they have become advocates for their own health care. “It’s important to arm ourselves with as much information as possible to stay healthy long-term,” Audrey said. “Anne and I live about four blocks from each other, and see each other frequently,” she said. “Our dogs are best friends. My black Lab mix, Heidi, loves to visit her fur-cousin Mellie! My life is
“Debby Calkins was healthy, young and smart,” said Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center radiologist, Dr. Amanda Squires. “She had all the right doctors, diets and emotional support – and she still died. Enough cannot be said about early detection.”
full and I am happy.” As the sisters pursue their goals and make new memories, their mother made sure they would always have ties to the past. “Mom made Anne and me what we call our ‘books of life,’ which are multivolume scrapbooks with photos of our lives, along with captions and commentary, from birth, until she become too sick to work on them,” Audrey explained. “Those books are full of wonderful memories, revolving around swim meets, vacations to San Diego and Orlando, trips to the mountains, and playing with our dog.” “Debby Calkins was healthy, young and smart,” said Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center Radiologist Dr. Amanda Squires. “She had all the right doctors, diets and emotional support – and she still died. Enough cannot be said about early detection.” Parkwest Breast Comprehensive Breast Center follows the guidelines of the American College of Radiology, which recommends screening patients beginning at the age of 40. “Studies show a decrease in mortality by at least 30 percent in women who have screening mammograms,” Squires said. Knowing your body is important. Having routine mammograms is the best way to detect breast cancer early, which significantly increases the odds for survival. Schedule your mammogram today by calling the Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center at 865-373-7010.
Dr. Amanda Squires attended medical school at Tulane University, residency at Medical College of Georgia and completed a fellowship in women’s imaging at Vanderbilt University.
Parkwest Comprehensive Breast Center The Parkwest Comprehensive Breast enCenter is recognized as a Breast Center of Excellence by the American n College of Radiology (ACR). The Center is proud to offer a multidisciplinary program, including screenings, breast cancer diagnoses, treatment and counseling. This comprehensive approach and use of the most advanced technology has helped save the lives of countless women in our area. The ACS reports that death h rates for breast cancer have steadily dily decreased in women since 1989 as a re-
sult of progress in earlier detection and imp improved treatment. The Comprehensive Breast Center proudly provides services such as: ■ Digital mammography – Xray images of the breast to spot possible problems ■ Tomosynthesis – 3-D digital mammography that produces several 3-D images of the breast from different angles, especially recommended for women with r dense den breast tissue or high cancer risk ■B Breast ultrasound – uses sound
waves to detect any inconsistencies ■ Stereotactic biopsy – a minimally-invasive procedure that serves as an alternative to open surgery biopsy ■ Multidisciplinary Breast Conference to expedite treatment and plan of care ■ Breast Health Navigator - an RN who specializes in helping breast patients through treatment to recovery Although breast cancer can’t be prevented at the present time, early detection of problems provides the greatest possibility of successful treatment. That’s why it’s so important to follow this three-step plan for preventive care. 1. Breast Self-Exams (BSE) 2. Clinical Breast Exams (CBE), and 3. Mammography
