Daughter at the center of the Helton controversy
By Betty Bean
T
he Central High School student at the center of the controversy that resulted in Joel Helton’s three-month suspension, resignation as head football coach, being banned from coaching in Knox County and getting transferred to Farragut never wanted any of this to happen, her mother says. She simply wanted to transfer out of Helton’s American Government class because she felt intimidated by his famously gruff demeanor. “It was a personality conflict, nothing more,” said Susan Creighton, whose daughter, M, suffered threats of death and bodily harm after news of Helton’s suspension rocked the Fountain City high school last November. “Her complaint was that she had a personal problem with Coach Helton, and she just wanted out of that class. She said ‘Mommy, I just want to get out of there so I can graduate.’ All we asked was that she be put on Central’s Odyssey program so she could be given credit for doing work via computer,” Creighton said. “She said ‘I don’t think I’m going to get along with him, but I don’t want any problems. Let me do this.’ ”
– Susan Creighton
Creighton met with assistant principal Nadriene Jackson, outlined the situation and got the transfer for her daughter, who thought this would solve her problems. She says all the Central principals were extremely kind, but she doesn’t have the same opinion of central office personnel who questioned her daughter a week or so after the transfer. These administrators kept asking M the same questions over and over again, as though they hoped to get answers more to their liking by repetition. “I just think for whatever reason they had already decided that they wanted to go in a different direction than Joel Helton, and they used my daughter to get there.” Creighton said the next inkling of trouble came the night before the big protest at the school the morning following Helton’s suspension.
Joel Helton File photo
“M received a text message from a friend: ‘Have you been on Facebook? I’m worried about you, please don’t come to school tomorrow.’ We got online, and her name was being spread among students as the person who got Coach fired. Coach Helton’s son sent her an
e-mail saying ‘Thanks for trying to ruin my family’s lives.’ Every time she looked, there was a new e-mail or an instant message saying she was going to pay. Someone threatened to kill her. Other people just told her they’d be happy when someone ‘offed’ her. We printed every conversation to give the police ‘just in case.’ The news was carrying it, and the comments printed online were disgusting. She was terrified.” Creighton says she is grateful to the friend who warned her daughter not to go to school the next morning. “There was a crowd waiting for her to get off the school bus. They were going to beat her up.” Creighton said M’s problems were compounded when Helton’s daughter, Alison, weighed in. M’s little sister, an honor student at Central, had to be shadowed by school security for the next two weeks, Creighton said. And M, who loved school and chaired the Rachel’s Challenge food drive there, was unable to return to Central at all. M enrolled in the Paul Kelley Academy at Knoxville Center and has been able to finish all the courses she needs to graduate, her mother said, but she has suffered greatly from losing her school friends and her senior year.
Sheriff wants $3 million for vehicles County Commission to mull major vehicle purchase By Greg Householder During the waning days of the Mike Ragsdale administration, the topic of the county’s vehicular fleet was a touchy one. In symbolically foregoing county-provided vehicles for senior members of his administration, probably the last thing on County Mayor Tim Burchett’s mind is the purchase of any new vehicles for the county fleet. Not so fast, mayor. If 2nd District Commissioner Amy Broyles has her way, the county may be gearing up to purchase 100 additional vehicles at a cost of about $2.2 million, plus an additional $1 million or so to equip the cars for police work. Broyles met on Feb. 4 with fellow Commissioner Brad Anders of the 6th District, Law Director Joe Jarret, finance department head John Troyer and representatives from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office at the Powell Library to discuss a rapidly closing window of opportunity to spend money in order to save it in the long run.
401(k) Rollovers Made Easy Toby Strickland Financial Advisor
The topic was police cars. The Ford Crown Victoria has been the mainstay vehicle for departments all over the country for almost three decades. However, the very attributes that make a car a great police vehicle – speed, J.J. Jones size, power and the subsequent poor gas mileage and emissions that go along with it – have doomed the Crown Victoria to retirement. The 2011 model year is the last Amy Broyles year the car will be produced. The KCSO says it has replaced 31 cruisers in its fleet over the past two years. Of the department’s 278 marked cars, 125 of them have registered in excess of 100,000 miles. Currently, the Crown Victo-
ria is available at a state contract price of $22,229 per unit. Ford’s replacement for the Crown Vic is based on a Taurus frame. Ford’s “Police Interceptor” is available in either front-wheel drive or allwheel drive with a turbocharged engine. Police consider the frontwheel drive version as being dangerous in high speed pursuits, and the turbocharger causes fleet maintenance headaches. Broyles is proposing that the county purchase 100 new cruisers. The cost for light bars, communications gear, computers and other equipment is an estimated $10,000 per unit. The sheriff is in a hurry: March 1 is the deadline for ordering the Crown Victorias through Alexander Lincoln Mercury Ford of Murfreesboro, which has more than 100 of the cars on its lot. According to the KCSO representatives at the meeting, the average patrol vehicle is driven about 2,000 miles per month. The county disposes of used vehicles on the Internet auction site GovDeals.com. Outlying police agencies and sheriff’s offices purchase Knox County vehicles from the site, and according to KCSO representatives, after vehicles pass 100,000 miles, the

price they bring at auction drastically drops. For Broyles, the purchase is an officer safety issue. Buying 100 of the Crown Victorias now will give the KCSO ample time to test and choose a new cruiser and should delay sigBrad Anders nificant patrol car purchases for a few years. Troyer commented that he would like to see the KCSO implement a systematic rotation system to keep the department’s fleet safe and auction vehicles when they still retain greater value. Jarret told the group that the plan is “fiscally wise and addresses officer safety.” Anders, a Knoxville Police Department officer, tentatively agreed that the idea was a good one, but wanted to hold off cosponsoring the resolution until the means of funding the purchase was determined. Troyer acknowledged there was approximately $42 million in the county’s “rainy day” fund – a possible source for the $3.2 million outlay.

Dreaming in English It broke her heart. Lee Ann Hamilton heard about the well-liked foreign exchange student from Japan at her children’s school. She heard about the bad situation in which he found himself – shoved in his room at his host family’s house, forced to do laundry in a bathtub, being sent to school hungry each day. It broke her heart, Hamilton told the Northside Kiwanis Club last week, “because I love kids.”
Help for the forgetful Here it is Valentine’s Day and you’ve done it again – no card, no candy, no flowers, no jewelry. You women are certainly a forgetful species. But, don’t despair. We’ve got the perfect gift and you’re holding it in your hands – the “Shopper-News Sampler.” (If you’re reading this online, it’s not a good idea to hold the computer monitor in your hands – leaves fingerprints on the screen.) Open the Shopper-News Sampler to almost any page. If you prefer nuts in your confection, breeze over to page A-4 where the usual suspects are arranged. Want something more substantial? Take a bite out of Greg Householder’s front page story about the sheriff’s plan to spend serious cash on some new rides for his deputies. (Warning: May cause heartburn if consumed by sheriff’s office administrative personnel.) And speaking of heartburn, Betty Bean is back in the Halls/Fountain City edition with more on the Joel Helton saga. That story is hard to put down. The features pages, A-6 and A-7, are full, headlined by Jake Mabe’s story, “The education of Abraham Lincoln.” Honest Abe is just about everybody’s favorite president, so try not to forget Presidents Day coming up next week. Over in Bearden, Wendy Smith brings you a front page goodie baked to perfection for sweethearts young and old. Be sure to get your fill. Enough sampling already – dig in! Happy Valentine’s Day!

An assistant coach told her the tale. She went home that night and brought up the student’s story to her family. “He’s a good kid,” one son said. “Let’s have him stay here with us.” The student, Yu, was 15. His name caused confusion around the Hamilton home whenever anyone yelled, “Hey, you!” So, one son gave Yu a nickname, Hershel, because it’s unique. The Hamiltons took in Yu, er, Hershel, through Youth for Understanding, a foreign exchange program founded in the 1950s to heal wounds with Germany following World War II. The exchange works both ways. Students come here. AmeriContact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com. can students go abroad. The goal is to create better communities.

heaven. He loved American food, especially fried chicken with gravy, which he called soup, and Mountain Dew. While here, he gained 40 pounds. And he learned English, slowly but surely. He picked up on American slang, like what it means to “ride shotgun.” He loved Washington, D.C., and was enamored with American history, especially the Civil War. When he saw the World War II exhibit at the Smithsonian, Hershel got rather quiet. He didn’t know about the atrocities his country committed during the war. “He was embarrassed and he was sad,” Lee Ann says. “If he could have mended (a hurt), he would have done it.” Somebody asked the Hamiltons why they wanted to host a Japanese student, given what had happened during the war. “He wasn’t there,” Lee Ann replied. “He wasn’t alive. His parents weren’t alive. Now we’re trying to make a bond, to heal. “It was an eye opener. He taught everybody so much, just as we taught him.” After Christmas, Hershel’s English improved. Lee Ann says this is common. He spoke it continuously. He even began dreaming in English. He studied the language at California Berkeley. And he came back to Chattanooga for a visit last year, to see his friends, to eat his favorite foods. Hershel, er, Yu, is back in Japan. He’s getting married. He’s working in hotel management. While here, Lee Ann says that he forged relationships with teachers, Scout leaders, members of a church group, others.
Lee Ann Hamilton highlights the Youth for Understanding foreign exchange program for the Northside Kiwanis Club at The Foundry. “He built a relationship and it made for a better community. Yu – Hershel – changed our lives forever.” For more information on Youth for Understanding, visit www.yfu.org. Host families are needed.
Helping needy families find a home You may laugh or frown at the phrase “It takes a village” depending on your politics. Ideology aside, we all know those words are indeed true. Just ask Joyce Shoudy about Family Promise of Knoxville. Shoudy told the Fontinalis Club at Central Baptist Fountain City last week that the organization partners with faith houses and community organizations to help low-income families transition from homelessness into a stable home environment. The program first began in New Jersey in 1986. It now boasts more than 160 affiliates across the country. The Knoxville day center is located at 313 Harley Drive in Bearden. Guests can use it from 7 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. as a daytime “home base.” Families work with a licensed social worker to look for employment, housing and other issues, and have use of a computer. The center also provides them with a mailing address, a telephone number, and personal hygiene and laundry facilities. About four times a year for one week, host sites provide up to four families with a place to sleep, three meals and hospitality. Volunteers cook, serve meals, socialize with guests, assist parents with children and stay overnight. Only families without active substance abuse, violent criminal offenses, open domestic violence issues or severe mental illness are accepted. A 14-passenger van transports guests daily to the day center. Shoudy, who is the local executive director, says Family Promise has a 77 percent success rate. Once families are established in a home or place of residence, Family Promise follows up with two-year counseling by a licensed social worker after “graduation,” during which families must provide proof of housing as well as a plan to pay for it. “Some of our guests have college degrees,” Shoudy said. “They are people like you and me. We go above and beyond board for these families because we want them to be a success.” The day center is in serious need of repair and Shoudy says the group has applied for a new house through the popular ABC TV series “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” “We just dream. Every Sunday night I watch the show and just wait for the phone call.” To page A-3

Eddie Mannis, chair of HonorAir Knoxville, accepts a tribute book from Sam Hardman of Halls at the recent tribute to HonorAir and Mannis, sponsored by the East Tennessee Military Affairs Council. Hardman, who went on a HonorAir flight to Washington D.C., is escorted by ROTC Cadet Joseph Hicks, a sophomore at UT. Photo submitted made on a first-come-firstserved basis. If the response exceeds the allotted space, veterans will be placed on a waiting list for a future flight. Prestige Cleaners is the presenting sponsor and coordinator of the project, and Covenant Health has been a major sponsor for each of the eight flights, but organizers say the continued success of the program depends on the financial support of the community. Each flight costs approximately $500 per veteran. Prestige Cleaners pays all administrative costs for the program so every dollar donated is applied directly to the cost of the flight. Checks should be made out to HonorAir Knoxville, a 501(c)(3) organization, and mailed to 7536 Taggart Lane, Knoxville, TN 37938. Donations may also be made via

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “I have heard that former smokers still have a greater chance of developing mouth cancer. Are there supplements or foods that can help reduce the chances of getting cancer in the mouth and throat?”
Answer: “There are many antioxidant foods and supplements that have been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of various types of cancer. Some of the most well known include extra virgin olive oil, asparagus, and
vitamin C in larger doses than the daily recommended amounts for general health (I recommend a high quality buffered, easily absorbable brand). For example, one study showed that a certain type of cancer occurrence was reduced by 40% in the participant group when at least two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil were consumed daily.

government Dem chair says rumors don’t rock her Betty Reddick’s impassioned plea to the membership of Knox County Democratic Women to support incumbent party chair Gloria Johnson for re-election spurred Sam Alexander into action.
Betty Bean Alexander, a party activist who made an unsuccessful run for a state house seat last year, frequently attends KCDW meetings. When he heard Reddick, who is president of the group, denounce “some of these old Democrat men” who are unfairly criticizing Johnson’s leadership abilities, he decided to address the issue head-on. “Someone started a rumor that I was going to run for Knox County chair,” he said. “I do not have time to be Knox County chair. I know the hours Gloria puts in, and I still have a daughter in high school and travel to Nashville in my job as political director for the Teamsters, so let’s put that rumor where it belongs – and that’s to sleep. I have no ambition to be chair of the Knox County Democratic Party.” Reddick urged her club members to become voting delegates to the party’s April convention and vote for Johnson. “For too long now, women have been doing all the work (at party events). It’s women doing the cooking, setting up, serving. Men come in when it’s time to start and leave when it’s over, and some of them didn’t like it when we asked for a seat at the table. Well, we are a majority. We need

to be able to tell the party what to do.” Johnson says she is aware of the rumors Alexander mentioned. “There are people who don’t want me in, I guess, or want somebody different, and they’re recruiting, I’d say. Nobody has told me to my face. I just hear the chatter. I try not to pay much attention to rumors, but I certainly welcome a challenge.” When asked if her opposition comes from the same group of Democrats who supported an independent candidate against Amy Broyles (the only woman and one of two Democrats left on County Commission), Johnson said: “You would probably not be wrong, although all the people who opposed Amy don’t oppose me.” “Everybody already knows about this and everybody’s tired of it,” said Broyles, who supports Johnson for re-election. “This is a group that’s been opposed to any action to move the party forward and get beyond these petty squabbles.” She said she expects that they will oppose Democrat Madeline Rogero’s run for mayor. Johnson said she is too busy to run down rumors. “We have really begun getting organized like this party has not been. We’ve got a permanent office now, and it makes a huge difference. People are there all the time. We phone banked the other night organizing people against this crazy legislation that will be so harmful to teachers. We want to get all our districts organized. We’ve made tens of thousands of phone calls and knocked on thousands of doors. We really have no time for this.”

Knox County Inc. There’s a revolution going on in Knox County, one born of a philosophy that’s making inroads across the country: the government which governs least governs best. As practiced by Mayor Tim Burchett’s administration, it means not just holding the line on government expenditures, but cutting until it hurts. Burchett has honed his scalpel in preparation for a multimillion dollar amputation of people and services he says is necessary to balance the upcoming FY 2012 budget. At least initially, he’ll find few naysayers to his proposal outside the county employees who’ll trudge to the guillotine. The mayor and likeminded politicians are true believers in the unfailing wisdom of the free market to sort things out properly. In this view, there are few things that private enter-
Larry Van Guilder
prise can’t accomplish more efficiently than government at any level. This belief is at the very heart of the national debate over health care, and underpinning it is a larger debate: what is government’s legitimate role in the life of its citizens? Even the most diehard free marketer will concede that some burdens are best shared. No one wants to contract for his own police protection, build her own roads or maintain his own schools, home schooling parents aside. And there are issues of “regulation,” a dirty word in some circles, but maintain-
ing standards for privileges like driving an automobile or flying an airplane makes me feel a little safer. Most of us are also happy that some government official is keeping the rats out of the kitchen in our favorite eatery. We want our doctors and our pharmacists to be licensed as well as our teachers. We devise rules that we insist builders and developers follow. (Sometimes we even enforce those rules in Knox County.) So, over the years, we’ve constructed – in Lincoln’s phrase – a government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” But there’s disagreement on how far government should go in providing “for the people.” Are the arts important “for the people?” What about libraries? Is it fair to use money from all of the governed to benefit a select part of the governed? Every politician smart enough to get elected praises the value of the arts and public
libraries, but in Knox County an additional penny on the property tax rate to fund the arts, which would cost the average homeowner $5 or $6 annually and generate about $1 million in revenue, is considered a scandalous notion. The solution: put the touch on the private sector. Recently, some Heiskell residents were schooled on Knox County’s government revolution when they asked the mayor for help in getting a community center. Burchett responded that “corporate contributions” might provide the way. Times are tough, and it was certainly naïve to expect the mayor to commit to a $2 or $3 million dollar project just days after he sang the budget blues for the coming year. And the good people of Heiskell weren’t aware of the revolution’s rallying cry: “Ask not what your government can do for you; ask what you can do without.” Please pass the tin cup.

‘Visioning’ guru will seek TYP consensus By Betty Bean Most of the conversation surrounding last week’s press conference announcing the proposition to “hit the pause button” on the Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness was about the departure of TYP director Jon Lawler and communications director Robert Finley. The rest of the talk was about teaming up TYP supporter Stephanie Matheney and TYP opponent Ron Peabody to chair a steering committee to search for a path forward. Absent was an explanation of how the “pause” plan came to be. The departure of Lawler and Finley was by all accounts voluntary, and the two were among the participants in conversations with New Urbanist guru Gianni Longo, a “visioning” specialist” who was brought to town by The Cornerstone Foundation to help unmire the plan, which has foundered in controversy. “I’m very perplexed why this wasn’t made perfectly clear,” Lawler said. “Stephanie and Ron are the

figureheads of two different groups that oppose or support the Ten Year Plan. Their charge is to go out and get 12 to 15 folks who represent different parts of the community to serve on an initiating committee that will work with Gianni. My understanding is that he will be involved and will be the leader of the process. Cornerstone brought him down to explore the idea, and everyone was very, very satisfied with who Gianni is and how quickly he worked.” Longo also met not only with city Mayor Daniel Brown (a TYP supporter) and County Mayor Tim Bur-
chett (a TYP critic) and their staffs, but with other TYP supporters and detractors, as well. Longo is the founder of ACP Planning and facilitated Imagine New York: Giving Voice to the People’s Visions, which helped that city find consensus on rebuilding downtown Manhattan and memorializing the World Trade Center tragedy. He also facilitated Vision 2000, the community goal-setting process in Chattanooga that jumpstarted that city’s downtown revitalization. Closer to home, he steered the Nine Counties – One Vision process in Knox County.
Lawler says another local Longo process is even more relevant to the current situation: “A few years ago, the whole Market Square project was stuck and he unstuck it. There was the Elkington proposition (to remake the square in the image of Beale Street in Memphis), and somebody else wanted to put a dome over it. Gianni Longo ‘unstuck’ that process and got it going again. “I hope Stephanie and Ron will get the wheels on the track, and we’ll all get excited about a professional coming in and seeing what the community really wants to do to deal with this issue.”
Smith gets rezoning on Blacks Ferry By Sandra Clark Rocky Smith of the Rufus H. Smith Co. secured rezoning to Planned Residential for 6.51 acres on Old Blacks Ferry Road adjacent to the Barrington subdivision at last week’s Metropolitan Planning Commission meeting. Smith had requested up to five dwelling units per acre for a condominium project, but met a firestorm
of opposition led by attorney John Valliant. Rather than battle, Smith simply agreed to the MPC staff’s recommendation of three dwelling units per acre (19 total) and said he would build single family housing. Valliant then endorsed the recommendation and it passed on a voice vote. MPC Commissioner Becky Longmire thanked both sides for their “eloquent presenta-

tions,” and observed that the land was already zoned for development. David Stooksbury, pastor of the nearby Trinity Baptist Church, said his opposition was to the initial proposed density. He said he would have no problem with possible variances to setback regs requested by Smith. Two neighbors asked MPC to reject the rezoning. Landowner Kevin Buchanan
said, “We all know the rules, but everybody wants to be the exception.” Doris Hensley, a 40-year resident, said the development will put increased traffic on an already inadequate road. “It’s not safe.” Commissioner Wes Stowers called it “a suicide intersection” at Blacks Ferry and Emory Road, but road officials said there are no plans for improvements.

C
hapters are established with only one person per profession, per chapter, so each member gets to benefit from all other fellow chapter members. The Summitt Chapter of BNI meets in Knoxville every Tuesday morning at Beaver Brook Country Club. Over a friendly breakfast, chapter members casually mix and mingle, sharing business cards and ideas, and then the “formal” part of the program begins. Each member makes a 60-second presentation to the group, requesting specific referrals, offering new products or programs, etc. In addition, each week one member makes a more extensive 10-minute presentation about what’s happening in their business. A “referral passing” session concludes the meeting, when the “do you know a good electrician” referrals can be made. At their latest meeting, statistics were presented that were of great interest to the Summitt Chapter members. Since May of this year, members have reported that they have made a total of $89,000 through direct contacts made through the BNI group. If divided between members, that’s $7,400 in actual “pocket money” that the group has generated for its members. If you’d like to see what personal networking can do for your business, and if you’d like to make some new friends and learn about your community, consider joining or visiting.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe
The education of
“(Lincoln) is one of those giant figures, of whom there are very few in history, who lose their nationality in death – they belong to mankind.”
– Former British Prime Minister David Lloyd George
Abraham Lincoln
“There is no new thing to be said about Lincoln,” the poet Carl Sandburg once wrote. “There is no new thing to be said of the mountains, or of the sea, or of the stars. “But to the mountains and sea and stars men turn forever in unwearied homage. And thus with Lincoln.”

H
ARROGATE, TENN. – Carl Sandburg came here, to the quaint college near Cumberland Gap, to research what would become his multivolume biography on our nation’s greatest president. He reportedly took his lunch and sat outside near the outdoor amphitheater, to read, to reflect. And reflect we must on Abraham Lincoln, who has come to symbolize so much about this grand American experiment of ours. Adored by some, hated by others, misunderstood by as many more, the mere mention of his name can, to this day, cause blood pressures to rise and fists to clench. In his first inaugural address, Ronald Reagan said, “Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in Abraham Lincoln.” Reagan didn’t say what he meant. But, it is there, if you look. Looking here, at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University, is a good place to start. We had the place to ourselves around lunchtime on an overcast Monday. I wondered whether the museum would disappoint the more obsessed observer. I needn’t have worried. The Lincoln museum opened to the public in 1977. Colonel Harland Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, told fellow members of LMU’s board of trustees if they could raise $500,000 for the new museum, he would match it. They
Indiana (where the Lincolns later relocated) at the time. This didn’t stop young Abe. As was the practice of the day, he learned his studies by reading and rote, repeating passages over and over until he had committed them to memory. The Bible and the works of Shakespeare and Euclid were particular favorites. He possessed what one contemporary called “a tireless, disciplined, analytical mind,” was often at the head of his class and would go out of his way to track down a tome somebody might have lying around. Books, you see, were scarce. He read by firelight at night, but as cousin John Hanks remembered, Lincoln also read in the field, at work, in the house, wherever and whenever he could stop and do so. Lincoln’s last law partner, Billy Herndon, quoted Lincoln as saying, “The most enduring basis of our Republic (is) the universal education of the great American people. The intelligence of the mass of our people (is) the light and life of the Republic.” After he was elected to the Illinois state Legislature at age 25, Lincoln decided that his future lay in the study of the law. He did not attend law school. Instead, he borrowed a set of law books from John Todd Stuart, the man who
would become his first law partner. Lincoln obtained his law license in 1836. But the education of Abraham Lincoln was not complete. He was a lifelong learner, forever reading, forever writing, forever honing his craft. It culminated in the American Scripture that is the Gettysburg Address and the religious-like poetry of his Second Inaugural. The current Lincoln collection on display here has a bare-bones feel to it. Behind the Lincoln/ Douglas Debates display hangs a flag that Lincoln raised at the Rich home in Beardstown, Ill., during an August 1858 campaign stop. Behind it rests the bed in which Lincoln rested on his 52nd birthday, Feb. 12, 1861, in Cincinnati’s Burnet House Hotel, during his inauguration train’s stopover on its way to Washington. (The bed was small enough that the 6 feet, 4 inch Lin-
and the lot fell on Jonah. (Hey, I have been blamed for things based on less reasonable measures!) The sailors then inquired, “Who are you?” And Jonah, who was on the lam from God, gave as succinct a confession of faith as you can find in the Bible: “I am a Hebrew … I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton who made the sea and the dry land.” (Jonah 1: 9) Which begs the question, how did Jonah figure? He Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying, may have paid lip service to wor“Go at once to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for shipping God, but his obedience to their wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah set out to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. (Jonah 1: 1-3a NRSV) God was severely lacking! Jonah offered himself as a sacknow how Jonah felt. Don’t you? ing to escape God’s reach, think- rifice to quiet the raging sea, and ing, as foolishly as Jonah, that you after trying unsuccessfully to row God wants me to do what?! to shore and spare him, the sailors You have felt the nudge, heard can outrun God. We all know the story, or think took him up on his offer, tossing the still, small voice, seen the handwriting on the wall. You know we do: how Jonah got on board a him overboard to mollify the de– you really do know – what it is ship to escape God’s call, and God mons of the deep. God wants you to do. (God doesn’t countered with a storm. The sailAnd here is where most people keep those secrets.) But like Jonah, ors cast lots to figure out who had get the story wrong. (I even conyou run in the other direction, try- brought this calamity upon them, tributed to this error when I chose
the title for this column, but, I confess, I couldn’t resist.) God provided a rescuer for Jonah (insisting on saving this troublesome prophet-in-training) not in the form of a whale, as we so frequently say, but a large fish, which swallowed Jonah and eventually spit him out onto dry land. From there the story gets really strange! Jonah goes to Nineveh, which the writer refers to as “an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across.” (Modern excavations at the site of Nineveh – across the Tigris River from modern-day Mosul, Iraq – reveal evidence of a town about three miles in length and less than a mile and half wide.) He preaches to the people a message of doom: “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And everybody repented. Which made Jonah mad, but God very happy.
Abraham Lincoln Photo used by permission did. The Colonel kept his word. The college owes much of its collection to historian R. Gerald McMurtry. Lincoln really was born in a log cabin, near Nolin Creek, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1809. (He would have been 202 last Saturday). Historical records show that the name Lincoln was sometimes mispronounced as “Link-horn,” a common mistake in those days, when few on what was then the frontier could read or write. Young Abe watched as his father eked out a living by the sweat of his brow and decided it wasn’t for him. Ironic, isn’t it, that the “Great Rail-splitter” abhorred hard physical labor and did everything he could to avoid it. (Although his strength was such that even into his 50s Lincoln could hold an ax horizontally in his hand without letting his arm quiver.) As he himself later said, Lincoln went to school “by littles,” a few months at a time, here and there. Early biographers tried to place the blame on Lincoln’s father, Thomas, implying he didn’t value education. In reality, schools were sporadic in Kentucky and

coln probably had to sleep sitting up.) Over by the exhibits on the assassination, under glass, is the walking stick the president carried with him into Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865. The continuouslylooping movie we were promised didn’t loop. The upstairs contained a few leftover Santa Clauses from a Christmas exhibit. But the place permeates your brain and, if you lean toward a certain historical bent, it sears your soul. Looking at the Lincolniana, I wanted to run home, lock the door, surround myself with lots of Lincoln books and stay there until spring. Lincoln, Sandburg wrote, “was a mountain in grandeur of soul. He was a sea in deep undervoice of mystic loneliness. He was a star in steadfast purity of purpose and service. And he abides.” He was also a flesh-and-blood human being, a tall, raw-boned country boy who gave up brawn for books, learned to read by the fading light of the crackling fire and knew in his heart that education would be the secret of his success.

How to get there To visit the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum at Lincoln Memorial University, (from Knoxville) take Highway 33 north to Highway 25E in Tazewell and continue into Harrogate. It is approximately one hour’s drive from downtown Knoxville. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Saturday. It is open 1-5 p.m. Sunday from March through November. Admission is $5 for adults. Info: 423-869-6235 or visit www.lmunet.edu/museum.
Jonah went out to sulk because God didn’t provide the expected fireworks. And God “appointed” a bush to grow up to shade and protect Jonah. But then, just to show him a thing or two, God made the bush die, and Jonah got angry again. God reasoned with him: “You are concerned about the bush, for which you did not labor and which you did not grow. … And should I not be concerned about Nineveh … in which there are more than a 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also many animals?” And there the book ends abruptly, just like that! Which is why I love the book of Jonah: not only does it bear witness to God’s love for the whole world of grown-ups, but also for the “many animals” and for those “who don’t know their right hand from their left”: not because they are stupid, but because they are little children.

Seeing stars in Big Orange Country TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West
H
igh school talent evaluators and recruiting analysts sell the star system as if it was sacred science. Five stars go to guys who can’t miss in college. Tim Tebow. Vince Young. Reggie Bush. Adrian Peterson. They hold the keys to national championships – unless they opt out. Four stars are for the big, strong and swift. They are destined to be three-year starting studs, All-Conference honorees, probable All-Americans, early rounders in the NFL draft. Three-star prep players step up to meet needs. If they get good coaching and work like heck, they certainly can contribute to success. Evaluators and analysts advocate avoiding the commoners, the two-star multitude. OK, if you must, award the occasional scholarship to a grandson of a big booster and maybe spend two on really sharp students who can do one thing well plus raise the academic average for the entire team. But, don’t expect them to win football games. OK, there are exceptions. Here are numbers from a fouryear study: The odds are 1 in 5 that a five-star player will become an All-American; 1 in 54 for four-stars; 1 in 147 for threestars; 1 in 358 for the twos. Because recruiting junkies and excitable fans will pay serious money for information, there are many information providers. Some are very sincere. They and their sources chase each other around the country to see as many high school games as possible. They study highlight tapes, collect photographs and compare height, weight and 40 dash times. Their secret ingredient is input from elite college coaches. If Nick Saban discreetly nods toward Mark Ingram up in Flint, Mich., and whispers “Heisman,” one or more recruiting services promptly awards four stars. If Notre Dame and everybody else wants Jimmy Clausen, he must be a five. College coaches are more often right than wrong. Contract extensions, bowl bonuses and investment portfolios depend on it. Some information retailers are surprisingly accurate as far as they go. Alas, all err and fall short. As Derek Dooley has explained, a stopwatch and yardstick will measure basics but assessing character, courage, intelligence, work ethic and growth potential is no simple matter. Dooley prefers his own blend of in-depth evaluation. Tennessee got several fours but no five-star talent in the recent recruiting roundup. Pro-
jecting that tidbit, the Vols may not win a national championship any time soon. Larry Smith, 63, data technology specialist, UT fan and forum participant, has an awesome storehouse of Volunteer information (Google Larry’s Locker). Scanning his list of five-star recruits from the previous decade stirs many memories: James Banks, Gerald Riggs, Jesse Mahelona, Robert Meachum, Demetrice Morley, Chris Donald, Eric Berry, Brent Vinson, Bryce Brown, Janzen Jackson, Da’Rick Rogers. There were others. Some came up big. Some were busts. All contributed to highly ranked recruiting classes. Smith says most focus on signing success but retention is a comparable factor. “Based on my analysis, 30 to 40 percent of those who sign with a BCS school end up not finishing their eligibility with that school. The reasons vary – dismissals, academic failure, transfers, medical issues, just quitting football.” Smith believes in stars – with qualifications. “I certainly believe that more 4- and 5-star recruits will increase the chances for competing for a league championship. I think my charts clearly indicate that. “There are conferences where it is easier to win without a large percentage of star recruits. The ACC and the Big East are two. The SEC requires rosters dominated by 4- and 5-star recruits.” What are those two-stars doing in the NFL? “Recruiting services just miss on some recruits,” says Smith. “Players with poor grades are not tracked closely. Some players mature later, physically and mentally, and don’t blossom until college.” Dooley and his staff targeted talented prospects likely to improve, be dependable, stay in school and maybe stay out of trouble. One obvious goal was to fill voids. As a group, incoming Volunteers rank between 10th and 13th nationally in star power. That’s good. The bad part is several SEC foes scored higher. Can the Dooley plan close the gap? Smith studies say never diminish the coaching element in the championship chase. “There are years where teams with fewer star players win with good coaching, good luck and momentum.” And favorable schedules? Boise State? Cincinnati? Texas Christian? Connecticut? Just for fun, keep your eyes on the stars.
Baum’s Greenhouses in Smithwood circa 1908. The home in the foreground near the greenhouses was built by the patriarch of the Baum family, Charles L. Baum (1863-1944). The hand-made brick home at the upper left was built in 1839 by John Smith (1795-1883) for whom Smithwood is named.

n 1846, the widowed Katherine Schneider Baum and her 15year-old son, Karl (1831-1916), left their native country during the German Revolution and immigrated to America on the sailing ship New York. The voyage of 47 days was stormy and, on a particularly tempestuous day, young Karl was tied to the mast of the ship with an ax in his hands. His instructions were to cut down the tall mast if the ship should yaw and threaten to capsize in the heavy seas. Finally, they landed safely in New York. Karl could not find work there and they set sail for Charleston, S.C. After some months there, they traveled to Augusta, Ga., where he was hired to lay railroad track from there to Charleston in Bradley County, Tenn. Eventually, he was employed by the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad to assist in construction of the first railroad bridge over the Hiawassee River between Charleston and Calhoun. On July 24, 1855, upon completion of the bridge, he and his mother came to Knoxville on the first train to run over the ET&G. For the next 56 years, Karl would be in the employ of that railroad and its successor, the Southern Railway. Karl Baum married Barbara Ritz on Aug. 7, 1860, and they became parents of 10 children, among them Charles Louis Baum (1863-1944). Charles married Mattie Ellen Galyon in 1884. He was employed in the iron industry as superintendent of a foundry but left that secure job to enter the florist business in 1889. His first venture was an open pit greenhouse on Tazewell Pike from which he sold a few plants and cut flowers in the old Central Market (now Emory Park). By 1892 he had opened a retail store in downtown Knoxville. As the business grew, each of his children entered the business which prospered to become the largest greenhouse operation, the largest rose grower and the second largest retail florist in the Southeast. In mid-life, Charles turned the business over to his children,

moved to Gatlinburg and helped develop the Cherokee Apple Orchard. When the National Park Service bought the property, he became an unofficial botanist to assist in identifying Smoky Mountain flora. Karl Porter Baum (1885-1977) was the oldest of the four children of Charles and Mattie G. Baum and Floyd Franklyn Baum (18981985) the youngest. Karl entered school at Smithwood Grammar School but quit when he was 13 to work full time with his father. When he was 17, he took over sales at Baum’s small store on West Clinch Avenue. The business continued to grow. Baum’s introduced gladioli to the South and had 25 acres of them at one time. His father had helped propagate the beautiful Lilium myriophyllum (regale), the Royal Lily of China, which was first imported from Tibet in 1910. Wild orchids from South America were imported and grown in the greenhouses. Roses were, of course, a major year-round item. At one time, the firm had 180 agents taking orders for its wares and eventually Baum’s had more greenhouses, including those in Smithwood and Bearden, than anyone in the U.S. They occupied 2 1/2 acres with

more than 340,000 feet of glass and an additional 70 acres in bulbs and other outdoor plants. Karl Baum was one of those responsible when Florists’ Telegraph Delivery (FTD) was organized in 1910. The then-novel idea enabled one to send flowers to any American or Canadian city and to some other parts of the world and grew to include a staggering 1,700 members by the end of the decade. Karl was vice president of the FTD association at one time. Floyd F. Baum developed the Bearden greenhouse operation beginning in 1926. By 1972 there were 34 greenhouses when they were dismantled to make way for Bearden Industrial Park. Floyd’s specialty was roses and his greenhouses once held 133,000 rose plants which produced 4 million blooms a year. One of his popular hybrids, named the Betty Baum rose for his daughter, is a beautiful white rose edged in pink. He also produced carnations, chrysanthemums and other fresh flowers and plants supplied to Baum’s local retail outlets and wholesale florists all over the South. A July 1952 issue of Fortune magazine included Baum’s among other successful businesses and described them, “A Knoxville iron molder who grew lilies sand roses as a hobby started Baum’s Home of Flowers in 1889. His sons now operate the most modern greenhouses in the South and sell over $500,000 worth of flowers a year. Karl Baum, president, believes in posting prices clearly in the window of his retail store to reassure hesitant buyers.” Karl P. Baum died in 1974 and Floyd Baum assumed the presidency until the retail shops at 631 S. Gay St. and 2916 Tazewell Pike and the greenhouses on Tazewell Pike were sold to Mark E. Ross of New York in March 1975. When the patriarch of the Baum’s Home of Flowers’ family, Charles L. Baum, passed away in 1944, it was said of him, “Not only did he achieve a little success and a lot of satisfaction from his chosen vocation, but his exemplary life and devotion to duty was such that all his children were influenced to follow his example and remain in the business that he established. It can truly be said that he plucked a thistle and planted a flower wherever he thought a flower would grow. He stood firm in his convictions and was loyal to his friends almost to a fault. He never forgot those who befriended him or gave him a kind word on his way up.” Subsequent generations of Baums followed his example of a principled life.

CoQ10 is a powerful, fat soluble vitamin-like substance found naturally in all forms of animal life. CoQ10 is essential to energy production in every cell of our body and it allows cells to live longer. Not only is CoQ10 required for cellular energy production it protects our body from destructive free radicals, enhances our immune defenses, prevents and treats heart disease, diabetes, periodontal disease, high blood pressure, obesity, cancer, numerous neurological conditions and helps to slow the aging process. CoQ10 levels in our vital organs like the heart, steadily rise after birth and peak at about 20 years of age. After that they undergo a continuous decline. Fortunately, over three decades of cutting edge research have shown us how to restore CoQ10 levels in the mitochondria to slow and even reverse the effects of aging. Dr. Julian Whitaker, stated that CoQ10 is one of the top three discoveries of the 20th century, even more important to human culture than insulin due to its ability to enhance the health of hundreds of millions of people with a wide range of ailments. However, not all CoQ10 is created equal. Most CoQ10 on the market is a synthetic form know as (CIS form) that is a chemically processed synthetic form from tobacco. It is much cheaper to produce but very poorly absorbed, generally at levels of only 3-5 percent absorption rates, and also contains numerous impurities. The 100% natural CoQ10 is known as the trans-isomer form which is naturally produced from non-GMO yeast and is absorbed very efficiently and is free of impurities. CoQ10 can also occur as ubiquinone or ubiquinol. Both forms are present in the human body. The molecular difference is that the ubiquinol has two hydrogen atoms and two more electrons than ubiquinone. Ubiquinol is also both fat and water soluble whereas ubiquinone is only fat soluble. The additional hydrogen atoms that ubiquinol contains increases its polarity and therefore increases its bioavailability and absorption. Also, CoQ10 is a carrier of electrons in the process of energy production in the mitochondria through a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. CoQ10 as ubiquinone must acquire electrons before it can fill its roll in this energy synthesis process. However, since ubiquinol contains two additional electrons naturally it does not have to acquire any other electrons to perform its role involving energy synthesis in the mitochondria. CoQ10's remarkable energy-boosting effects can also reduce adverse effects associated with statin drug therapy, including fatigue, muscle pain, shortness of breath, memory loss and nerve pain in the extremities. CoQ10 has dramatic benefits in other tissues, particularly the brain, eyes and skin. Growing research is recognizing the role of mitochondrial health and corresponding cellular energy production in the role of preventing and treating numerous other health conditions such as: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lou Gehrigs Disease, brain injuries, diabetes, nerve damage, macular degeneration, glaucoma and cancer. CoQ10 is a required invaluable component in mitochondrial health and cellular energy synthesis. (For informational purposes only. Any medial treatments should be made jointly with your physician.)

Twice uprooted, Kasirel Babiker has found a home By Betty Bean Kasirel Babiker sometimes watches the turmoil in Egypt on TV and is glad to be in Knoxville rather than Cairo. He, his birth brother and
Central Bobcats cousins (whom he considers brothers and sisters) lived in a Cairo apartment with his aunt (whom he considers his mother) for several years after they fled their home in Khartoum, Sudan, when he was 4 years old. Differences between Knoxville and Cairo are that people in Tennessee are “very generous and really nice. In Tennessee, I know that people got my back. In Egypt, not as much as the Tennessee people.” He admits to having been a little
Kasirel Babiker put off when other kids here nicknamed him “Casserole” but says that didn’t bother him once he figured out that no one meant any harm. Sudan has been wracked with internal and external turmoil for many years, fighting wars with its neighbors and torn by conflict within its boundaries. Kasirel, 16, and his family were devout Christians in an ag-
gressively Muslim state. He has had a difficult life for one so young, but his open, friendly demeanor betrays no hint of that. “My real mom, she was in Cairo and she paid for a transport to get us into Egypt. But when we got there, we found that the Sudanese people were not treated as we wanted to be treated. It was more like segregation. I lived in an apartment with my aunt – who is my “mom,” my real brother and my cousins. “One time when we were sitting at home, the owner of the building didn’t really like us so he walked up and started fighting. The landlord’s father stabbed one of my older brothers and they started beating on my brother. We ran outside and called the cops, but instead of helping
us, they started beating my brother and sister. I couldn’t help because I was little. “One time, the Sudanese people went on strike and lived in a camp in front of the UN building. My brother was part of that. He is 24 now and lives in Maryville.” Kasirel went to Catholic school in Cairo with other Sudanese children, but he felt discrimination there, too. “We could not go to the same schools as Egyptian children and we didn’t feel comfortable there. My aunt went to the United Nations and applied to come to the United States. It’s like applying for a job. It takes time for them to process you and get all your information. We applied in 2001 and got accepted in 2006.” He says he understands the Egyptian uprising.
“The Egyptians are just tired of having one leader. It’s like a team that has a coach that not everybody likes and they want to get rid of him. But instead of taking it a responsible way, they went crazy. I do not blame them for that. …” Kasirel’s older brother, Zenior, is a senior at Central and is a captain on the soccer team. Kasirel plays, too, and he says his main goal is to finish high school, go to college and play professional soccer. He admires his brother. “This is my first year of playing with him in school and he has changed the most of anybody I know. He went from bad boy to boy who wants to fulfill his dreams and become a great example for kids. “That’s what I want to do, too. I count myself a Good
Samaritan. I’m a Catholic and I tend to pray every time I get in bed. It is hard for us to get to church because we don’t have a car, but sometimes my mom will pay somebody $5 to take us to All Saints in Cedar Bluff. Here you can go to any church you want to.” Kasirel hopes to get a scholarship to play soccer and someday earn enough money “to bring my real mom to America. When I came to America it was my first time being part of a team. I’m not the strongest kid nor the fastest kid on the team, and all my talking I do it on the field. “I am very enthusiastic and I want to help other people not give up on their dreams. Always stay with your path. Do not turn left or right. Go straight and your dreams will come true.”

Despite a widely syndicated article in the Wall Street Journal that claimed the Girl Scouts were dropping unpopular cookie flavors, the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians is still selling all eight cookie varieties. Of 112 Girl Scout councils in the country, only 12 councils are participating in a pilot program that focuses on the six top-selling cookie varieties. These councils are seeking new ways to increase efficiency and simplicity for everyone involved in the cookie program. The pilot project will be evaluated at the end of cookie season. A decision has not been made in any council regarding which cookie varieties will be offered in the future. Varieties of Girl Scout cookies include Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Dosi-dos, Trefoils, Lemon Chalet Cremes, Thank U Berry Munch and Dulce de Leche. The Girl Scouts will be selling cookies through Sunday, March 20, for the usual $3.50. Info: www.girlscoutcsa. org.

DeBusks plan fundraiser for Duncan School of Law There’s more than just a little truth to the old saying that if you want to get a job done you should ask the busiest person you know. Lynn Duncan is undoubtedly one of the busiest people around. This time her mission is raising funds to complete the courtroom at the John J. Duncan Jr. School of Law, named for her husband, this area’s representative in Congress for 23 years. The law school, located at the corner of Summit Hill Drive and Henley Street, is an arm of Lincoln Memorial University and the brainchild of LMU graduate and major benefactor Pete DeBusk. Lynn Duncan is heading up a fundraising dinner and auction to be held in the lodge at the home of Cindi and Pete DeBusk on Friday,
Feb. 25. Tickets are $150. All proceeds will go directly to the law school, because everything for the evening, including the dinner, will be donated. The menu and the donors: Aubrey’s, strawberry salad; Ruth’s Chris Steak House, beef; Mike Chase of Calhoun’s and Chesapeake’s, crabcakes; Mike Connor of the Chop House, potato dish; David Wright of Wright’s Cafeteria, green beans and corn; Rankin’s Restaurant, biscuits and cornbread; Litton’s, desserts.

GRAND OPENING
Lynn has invited Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey to be auctioneer for the evening. He’s going to try to be there, but thinks his wife may have other plans because it’s their wedding anniversary. Either way, Howard Phillips of Powell Auction will also be on hand. The auction items are impressive. Dolly Parton has donated the set of drums she learned to play on and has autographed them. She also is donating two season passes to Dollywood and two nights at the nearby Comfort Inn. There are weekend getaways including a trip to Times Square.

Transfers down in January, but ahead of 2010 After a brief end of the year surge in December, the real estate market in Knox County experienced a normal January decline. The month ended on Monday, Jan. 31, produced 512 property transfers in the county,
There was approximately $255 million loaned against property in Knox County in January, which also indicates a drop of about $60 million from the December numbers. This is largely due to the fact that national mortgage averages have crept up to their highest levels since April of 2010. Sherry While January did proWitt duce fewer sales than DeRegister of cember, it is worth noting Deeds that the number of transfers was slightly ahead of that recorded in January of 2010. Last year only 494 parcels representing a total land changed hands during Januvalue of $97.8 million. This ary. It is not unusual for the was a decrease of about $45 real estate market to experimillion from the previous ence this type of decline in mid-winter, especially since month.
realestatereport
this year’s weather has been colder than normal. The largest transfer of the month was $10 million sale of an 11-acre tract in South Grove. Among the more notable transfers was the former home of coach Lane Kiffin, which sold for $1.6 million. I would like to send out all best wishes to a young man named Conner Chesney. Conner is the son of one of our employees and is a student at Adrian Burnett Elementary. He is dealing with some health issues right now. Please join me in praying for Conner and wishing him a speedy and full recovery. I hope you and your loved ones have a happy Valentine’s Day!

Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) – the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – have worked to wipe polio from the face of the earth. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2009, fewer than 1,700 cases were reported worldwide. But the polio cases represented by that ďŹ nal 1 percent are the most difďŹ cult and expensive to prevent. That’s why it’s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.
The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children – wherever they live – remain at risk.

When Halls High School girls basketball coach Randy Moore speaks of Sydney Carden, he talks about an ultimate team player. “She doesn’t care about all the accolades, she just wants to win,” Moore said of Carden, the Red Devils point guard who was recently honored for scoring her 1,000th career point. “She’s a great kid, and she’s tough, and she’s a winner.” Carden, who scored 36 points in Halls’ recent 65-60 District 3-3A home victory over Powell, is a point guard. She must get her teammates involved in addition to looking to score her own points. She’s a picture of unselfishness, and nowhere was that more evident than after her impressive performance against the Panthers. “It was great,” Carden said of her individual milestone. “But the credit goes to coach Moore and my teammates. “Coach Moore is a great coach, and my teammates are always looking to help me out. It’s an honor to wear this uniform and play basketball for Halls High School. My teammates and I reached this together.” Throughout her career, Gibbs High senior Caleb Carden has shown toughCaldwell makes a 3-point shot ness and grit on the hardat home against Gatlinburg- wood, and that has made Pitman last week.

Moore’s job as coach of the Red Devils easier. “She’s a pleasure to coach, and I can challenge her,” Moore said. “She responds to every challenge, and she’s a nice kid.” If the coach can find any fault in his star point guard, it’s her unselfishness. “She’s such a nice kid that sometimes, she’s a little too passive,” Moore said. “Sometimes, I wish she was a little more selfish.” Carden said she thrives on Moore’s challenge: “Coach Moore really motivates me.” Moore also commended
his team for aiding Carden in reaching her milestone. “These girls have really accepted their roles and have done what they can to help Sydney,” Moore said. Carden has shined on the floor throughout her career, but she also exhibits greatness on the soccer field. Last fall, she helped lead the Red Devils to their first district soccer championship in school history. Halls recorded three shutouts en route to capturing the tournament title. Carden played the lone forward position in coach Scott Rhea’s attack.

No repeat title for Powell girls The defending Knox County Middle School Basketball Conference girls champion team will not repeat. The Powell Panthers, who won the 2010 James A. Ivey Jr. Memorial Basketball Tournament in 2010, will not cut down the nets this year. The Panthers, who posted a perfect conference record last season and cruised to the tournament title, failed in their quest to bring home another tournament championship, dropping a 34-30 decision to Farragut last Tuesday night at Karns Middle School. Averi Williams and D’Anna Johnson each scored eight points for the fourth-seeded Panthers, who advanced to the semifinals with victories over Vine and Bearden.
Ken Lay
The Panthers beat Farragut twice last season, but this was the Admirals’ year. Farragut notched a onepoint victory at Powell during the regular-season in addition to Tuesday night’s tournament win. “I can’t fault the girls’ effort against Farragut,” said Panthers’ coach Kim Stooksbury. “Our effort was outstanding, but we had 20-plus turnovers, and that just killed us. We could compete with Farragut, Holston and the rest of the top teams when we kept our turnovers low.”
in overtime. Those were her only points of the semifinal contest. Holston, which led 17-16 heading to the fourth quarter, broke a 22-22 tie when Hope Hopson hit a free throw with 31 seconds left in the extra stanza. Hurricanes point guard Quay Hines scored 11 points to lead all scorers. Hopson finished with six points. West Valley used a balanced attack to punch its ticket to the title. Hurricanes upset by Susan Kenny led the way with five points while Kenya Wolves in OT Olivia Pfeifer converted a Reeves, Tiara Hollins and pair of late free throws to lift Tamia McCormick scored West Valley to a 24-23 over- four each. Holston entered Thursday time victory over the ’Canes. Pfeifer, an all-league stand- night’s third-place tilt seekout, hit the clutch foul shots ing their second victory over with 18 seconds remaining the Panthers this season. The Admirals’ trio of Kristen Freeman, Anna Woodford and Miranda Burt gave the tournament’s top seed the offensive punch it needed to reach the championship game against seventhseeded West Valley, which nabbed a pair of upset wins over host Karns (the tourney’s second seed) and the third-seeded Hurricanes. Freeman led the way with 10 points. Woodford added nine and Burt finished with eight.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Stroke treatment at Fort Sanders saves Maryville woman In the spring of 2007, Lori McKinney of Maryville noticed that as she typed at her computer, her left hand didn’t work well. “I also had decreased vision in my left eye, slurred speech on my left side and weakness in my left arm,â€? McKinney remembers. “I just ignored it. I was really afraid it was a brain tumor.â€? Then, on May 10, 2007, McKinney got a terrible headache as well. “I was at home at the time and didn’t go to work. Over the next few days, I had increasing problems.â€? At the urging of her husband, Jim, McKinney ďŹ nally made an appointment with her primary care doctor. The exam found her blood pressure was dangerously high, and a CT scan revealed a spot on her right brain. A follow-up MRI revealed the spot was not a tumor as she feared, but a stroke caused by a blockage. Like heart arteries, brain blood vessels can build up plaque that restricts the ow of blood and causes a stroke. Strokes are either caused by blockages or bleeds. With a bleed, a blood vessel bursts in the brain and damages the tissue around it. Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States. Although most stroke victims are older than 65, McKinney was just 43 at the time. “That was really scary,â€? she says. Within a week, McKinney was referred to Dr. Keith Woodward, a neurointerventional radiologist who treats strokes at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Dr. Woodward is one of only 300 physicians in the United States who is able to do a minimally-invasive procedure to treat strokes called intracranial angioplasty. In this procedure, a tiny balloon is threaded through an artery in the groin, up to the brain and the area of blockage. The balloon is

Social worker Lori McKinney is back on the job after a high tech treatment for stroke at Fort Sanders helped her get her life back. then expanded to force accumulated fatty plaque against the artery wall, opening the blood vessel. Intercranial angioplasty can be done with or without a “stent.â€? A stent is a tiny wire coil left behind to keep the artery propped open. McKinney couldn’t have a stent, she says, because Dr. Woodward felt it would be too dangerous. Both types of brain angioplasty are done with the beneďŹ t of stateof-the-art imaging machines at Fort Sanders, which take continuous CT images that give the physician an accurate 3-D picture of the brain throughout the procedure. Intracranial angioplasty has a short hospitalization and is considered minimally invasive. “I went from 99 percent blockage overall, to 60 percent ow,â€? says McKinney. A second angioplasty in
August 2007 increased the ow of blood to her brain even more. McKinney, a social worker, missed six months of work throughout the ordeal, but is fully recovered now after some physical and speech therapy. McKinney says she felt conďŹ dent in Fort Sanders and in Dr. Woodward. “I can’t say enough about Dr. Woodward,â€? smiles McKinney. “He said, ‘You’re just an incredible miracle.’ I said, ‘Well, I had a whole lot of help. I give a lot of glory to the Lord.’ â€? McKinney says she is thankful for Fort Sanders and its ability to offer such a state-of-the-art treatment for strokes. “It was wonderful, absolutely wonderful,â€? McKinney says of her care at Fort Sanders. “From the time I got here until the time I left four days later, it was excellent.â€?
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the No. 1 cause of disability in adults. Strokes affect more than 600,000 Americans every year. A stroke is basically a “brain attack.â€? It happens when the blood ow to an area of the brain is interrupted by a blocked or broken blood vessel. When a stroke occurs, it kills brain cells in the immediate area and endangers cells in surrounding brain tissue. Without immediate medical treatment, a larger area of your brain may die and you may suffer permanent brain damage, paralysis, speech impairment or even death. Symptoms of stroke may include: weakness of the face or arm on one side of the body, loss of vision and a sudden severe headache. As a Primary Stroke Center, Fort Sanders Regional is equipped to handle stroke from the initial diagnosis, to the treatment and through the rehabilitation process. When patients suspected of having a stroke comes to Fort Sanders Regional, they receive a CT scan within 45 minutes. If they arrive within three hours of the onset of the stroke, the patient will receive powerful clot-busting drugs (called thrombolytics) that can open blocked arteries and reduce the effects of stroke. For patients who arrive in the emergency room after three hours, thrombolytics can be administered directly into the clot through a small catheter that goes up the patient’s leg into in the blocked artery in their brain. A corkscrew device, called the Merci clot retriever, can be inserted through a catheter to remove a
clot to restore normal blood ow to large arteries in the brain. As a Stroke Center of Excellence, the care provided by Fort Sanders Regional and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (located inside Fort Sanders) is second to none. The facility is one of the few in Tennessee to hold a Primary Stroke Center certiďŹ cation from the Joint Commission, as well as three separate stroke accreditations from the Center for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Stroke survivors have complex rehabilitation needs. Brain injury resulting from stroke can affect speech and memory. Temporary or long-paralysis on one side of the body can also occur. The nationally-recognized rehabilitation programs at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center help stroke patients restore abilities and regain lost capacity. Fort Sanders and Patricia Neal have achieved such designations by having a committed medical team, excellent nursing and therapy services, and stateof-the-art diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation. For further information about stroke treatment and rehabilitation at Fort Sanders Regional and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, call 865-673-FORT.
Neuro Science Center of Excellence at Fort Sanders: Innovative treatment for strokes and aneurysms
and repair aneurysms. Keith Woodward, M.D., is a certiďŹ ed neurointerventional radiologist at Fort Sanders Regional. He is one of the few physicians in the United States who uses the bi-plane technology to seal off an aneurysm. He does this by coiling a tiny platinum wire into the weakened blood vessel in the brain. Dr. Woodward also uses the bi-plane to help him retrieve blood clots from the brain with a small corkscrew device. Restoring blood ow quickly can often reverse the effects of a stroke. Both procedures are done less invasively through a tiny catheter inserted by a needle stick in the groin area. Patients experience a smaller
amount of pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery. “It’s exciting to be able to treat major diseases of the blood vessels in the brain without major surgery,� says Dr. Woodward. Not all patients can be treated with these techniques. In some cases, traditional neurosurgery may be recommended. Fort Sanders neurointerventional radiologists and neurosurgeons work together to determine the best treatment for each individual patient.

In the past, procedures to repair weakened or abnormal blood vessels in the brain have required invasive brain surgery that involved opening the patient’s skull. Recovery often took weeks or months. Now, with the region’s most advanced Bi-Plane Angiography system, physicians of the Neuro Science Center of Excellence at Fort Sanders Regional are using lessinvasive measures to treat dangerous aneurysms and strokes. Fort Sanders’ innovative BiPlane 3-D x-ray offers two independent views that show a detailed picture of the blood vessels in the brain. This helps physicians to more accurately reverse strokes

Rice … it’s for the birds from rice fields in preparation for a return trip to their northern nesting grounds. This myth supposedly got started by an Ann Landers column from 1996 where she was quoted as saying, “Please encourage your guests to throw rose petals instead of rice. Rice is not good for the birds.” The U.S.A. Rice Federation then responded to the column by saying “straighten up and fly right when you Sara talk about birds.” Barrett Birds also will not die from eating peanut butter.

There is a long-standing myth that says rice will kill birds if they ingest it because their stomachs will swell and explode. For years, brides have forbidden their wedding guests from throwing the grains in the air, fearing the death of a living creature at the church on their wedding day.
Critter Tales

Telling tales This is going to sound like crazy, obsessive mommy talk, but bear with me. I want Daniel to read stories before he sees them in movie form, but as more of the books I loved as a child, and still love, are made into movies, that’s becoming a trickier proposition. Don’t get me wrong. I celebrated when “Lord of the Rings” was made into those three beautiful, sweeping epics we saw on the big screen. I’m excited that “The Hobbit” is following the same path. I loved “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” movie, although I’ve been less than thrilled with the next two movies in that series. But, there’s something about reading the book, then watching the movie. My parents read all these books to me when I was a kid, and the narratives that played out in

moms101 my head as I read and re-read them have been a comfort to me ever since. Reading a book gives the imagination a jumping-off point, but the rest of the work is up to the reader. Seeing the movie, on the other hand, shows you what someone else thinks a character looks like, what a landscape looks like, the inflections and tones of voice, everything. Put simply, I want my son to create his own Middle Earth, his own Narnia, his own Hogwarts, before he’s
told by a movie what those places look like. To me, reading the book first makes seeing a good movie that much better. That thrilling moment when the movie resonates with the visions of your mind’s eye is just priceless. So, while he’s three months shy of this third birthday, I’m already planning those first chapter books as bedtime stories. As soon as he’s ready, Daniel’s father and I will start with “The Hobbit,” a chapter a night, and go from there. Yes, it’s a fairy tale. Actually, every title in my much-loved list is. But, I believe strongly that fantasy is vital for a reading child because the lessons of these stories instill bravery, loyalty and confidence. As British writer G. K. Chesterton said, “Fairy tales are important, not because they tell us that dragons are real, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.” Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

It’s the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, and we would like you to meet Young-Williams Animal Center rabbit Juniper. She is a one-year old female Himalayan-mix rabbit with pink eyes and a pink nose. She does not mind being held and would make a great first bunny for an adopter. She enjoys using her litter box, eating treats and stretching out to rest after hopping around. Juniper is already spayed which will make her a more relaxed, loving companion. Juniper and all the other bunnies are available for adoption at the main center at 3201 Division St. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-6 p.m. Sunday. The adoption center at Young-Williams Animal Village, 6400 Kingston Pike, is open daily from noon until 6 p.m. See all of the center’s adoptable animals at www.knoxpets.org.
