By Jake Mabe Ask anybody who experienced Brickey Elementary School during the John R. McCloud era and they’ll tell you the same thing – it was a family. John R. was what Sara Baskin calls Papa Bear, our fearless leader, our daddy. We loved him. We still do. We always will. Members of the family got together at Steamboat Deli in Powell last Thursday. They meet for lunch every three months, a tradition started about a decade ago. “We couldn’t stand each other every month!” McCloud said. “Well, we put up with him every day for a lotta years,” Imogene Jenkins, who worked in the cafeteria, shot back. “But he was always a true friend,” she said. “He would always fight for you if you needed him.” “Where’s John R.?” former custodian Dorothy Irwin asked when she sat down. “I don’t hear him!” John R. says his buddies at Christ United Methodist

Church were giving him a hard time for being in the Shopper-News last week dancing at the school’s 50th anniversary. (It now also bears his name.) “They said, ‘Do a little shakin’!’ When I did my Tom Jones impression for the seniors, one of them said, ‘my god, McCloud, you move like you’re 50!’ ” He’ll be 84 next month and says life feels good. “I had a good day yesterday,” John R. said. “You usually have a good day,” somebody said. John R. smiled. “Yeah, I do.” The laughter lifted everyone’s spirits, but it wasn’t all fun and games. Terry Carr’s son-in-law is fighting a serious illness.

“I record it every Saturday night,” I said, truthfully. “How about that,” she said. Back with the Brickey Buddies, John R. tried to wiggle his way out of the photo. “No way,” I said. “You get front and center.”

Eighth District school board member Mike McMillan survived a tough challenge from Carter activist Conley Underwood to win re-election March 6. According to McMillan unofficial totals from the Knox County Election Commission, McMillan garnered 2,834 votes (52.72 percent) to Underwood’s 2,542 votes (47.28 percent).

A major new business has opened on Broadway in Fountain City. Virginia College School of Business and Health will employ 120 and serve 700 to 800 students, said campus president Jim Branham. He led a tour last week for officers of the Fountain City Business and Professional Association. The college will offer 10 programs initially and is seeking accreditation for two more, Branham said. Training is available in business and office careers, health and medical fields, and cosmetology. The 11th program will train surgical technologists and the 12th will train occupational therapy techs. The facility has been built-out for these programs. “We want a culinary arts program here too, but don’t have Jim Branham, campus president of Virginia College in Knoxville, takes space for it,” he said.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • MARCH 12, 2012 • A-3

‘Lolly-Madonna’ screened downtown Where have you gone, Cathy Watts? Don’t know if you know it or not, but the movies came to Maynardville in the summer of ’72. Yes, MGM shot a motion picture in Union County, bringing along such heavyweights as Rod Steiger and Robert Ryan and up-andcomers Jeff Bridges, Randy Quaid and Gary Busey. The fi lm was called “Lolly-Madonna XXX” (aka “The Lolly-Madonna War”) and if you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone. It died a quick death at the box office in 1973. Some theaters even refused to show it, confused that the XXX (the symbol for kisses on a letter or postcard, i.e. Xs and Os) meant it was an adult fi lm. My buddy Bradley Reeves showed a 16mm print of the fi lm March 2 at the East Tennessee History Center. The print had faded a bit, but it was so good to see it on film, rather than on some digital device. Yep, I still like to hear that whirl of a projector in a darkened theater. Call me crazy. Many Union and Knox county residents braved the

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS thunderstorm to see the lost classic. Union County historian and ShopperNews columnist Bonnie Peters offered a few tidbits before the screening. Halls guy Bill Rose says part of the fi lm was shot on his dad’s farm. In the infamous “hog burning” scene, the real hogs may or may not have been given moonshine to calm them down. The majority of the fi lm was shot on Buckner Road in and near a house now owned and restored by Greg and Jennifer Garren. Based on an early and out-of-print novel by Sue Grafton (copies go for as high as $1,500 online), the story is basically a family feud gone horribly awry, a cross between “Deliverance” and the Hatfields and

McCoys. I first saw a television copy several years ago. It has never been officially released on home video or DVD. Don’t know why, but I found myself enjoying it more this time around. Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t “Gone with the Wind.” It isn’t even “Gidget.” But, it’s a dark, Southern Gothic saga, vaguely Faulknerian in theme, something that could have been quite good, given a better script and more

competent direction. I did a series of stories on the film for the ShopperNews in 2007. One mystery we’ve yet to solve is the whereabouts of Cathy Watts, an unbilled actress in the film who appears in flashback as Jeff Bridges’s wife. (I hope I have the spelling of her name correct.) Best I can tell, she graduated from Knoxville Central High School in the early 1970s and may or may not have been a cheerleader at the University of Tennessee. Cathy, if you’re out there, or if someone knows her whereabouts, drop me a note at JakeMabe1@aol. com or call 922-4136. You were the real star of this fi lm, Cathy. I’d love to chat with you. We had a great time in spite of the thunderstorm. Brad did a great job as always, and it was good to see a forgotten slice of East Tennessee cinema where it belongs: back on the big screen. For a future list of upcoming movies in the “From the Vaults” First Friday fi lm series, visit www. knoxlib.org.

Virginia College From page A-1 ates 22 campuses in nine states plus online programs. Both day and evening classes are offered. What makes Virginia College different? “We all agreed from the very beginning to be student-focused. We must ensure our graduates are successful in the marketplace,” said Foster. “We have top quality equipment and top notch instructors. … Our success rate is phenomenal. “We make sure when our graduates walk out that door they walk into a business ready to work from Day One.” Branham said the campus will top out at 800 students. If there’s a higher demand, Virginia College will open a second campus within a 45-minute to one-hour drive. “We have high expectations of our students,” Branham added. “We ask them to treat this like a job.” Students have career counseling and the curriculum requires an “x-ternship” during the final semester. A business advisory council will be affiliated with each program. Branham is excited about what he calls “a reverse housewarming” for area businesses on Wednesday, March 28. It will include facility tours and gifts to attendees. Info: 7454500.

government Cooking up some help for a friend A-4 • MARCH 12, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS

By Betty Bean Who: The St. Paul Bakers What: “Desserts to Go” Where: St. Paul United Methodist Church, 4014 Garden Drive. When: Noon to 3 p.m., Sunday, March 25. Why: to help a friend in need. Every good baker has a specialty, and the St. Paul Bakers, all members of the Joy Sunday School Class, are known throughout Fountain City for having a bunch of them. The goodies will be for sale Sunday, March 25 – “Desserts to Go” to help a friend in need. “Everybody has their specialty,” Janice Grant said. “Fudge pie, carrot cake, oatmeal cookies. Everybody’s going to bake up their specialty – things that will freeze well – so that people can get their desserts for Easter. The whole idea is to help a dear friend to us all,” said Grant.

Cain delivers straw poll vote to Gingrich By Betty Bean The Tennessee Conservative Union’s annual Reagan Day Dinner was the Herman Cain Show, and that was a good thing for Newt Gingrich and a bad thing for Mitt Romney. The ebullient Cain, who is campaigning for Gingrich, was a big hit with the conservative crowd and Gingrich was so delighted by the results of the straw poll that he bragged about it to George Stephanopoulos the next morning. Gingrich won with 37.96 percent of the vote. His nearest competitor, Rick Santorum, polled 33.8 percent; Ron Paul got 11.11 percent, edging out Romney, who had 10.65 percent, beating out 6.48 for Uncommitted. TCU chair Lloyd Daugherty didn’t have much sympathy for the putative GOP frontrunner, who had scant representation at the event. “The old Reagan coalition is not comfortable with Mitt Romney, and if he expects our vote in November, his camp should have been active in reaching out to us. Conservatives are tired of being taken for granted,” Daugherty said. Romney missed some good, old-fashioned Southern eats by snubbing the dinner – collard greens, grits, fried catfish, hominy, skillet-fried okra, mac and cheese, pulled pork, fried chicken and blackberry cobbler. Daugherty was well pleased that his “No grilled chicken, no margarine” instruction was followed to the letter. He also pronounced the program “A unique conservative event for 2012. There was no mention of homosexuality, nothing about birth control,” he said. Finally, Stacey Campfield, former statewide co-chair of the Gingrich campaign, got a lukewarm reception from all but his hardcore followers in his first public appearance since switching his allegiance to Santorum.

Linda Martin steroids, which keep me from having to have constant transfusions.” The demands of trying to treat an illness that cannot be diagnosed has forced the formerly two-income family to get by on one salary while the bills pile up. Linda Martin has gotten three medical opinions – one from a local oncologist, one from Vanderbilt and most recently one from Mayo Cinic. “All of them feel that this is some sort of precancerous blood condition, but the prognosis is good in

Republican wings collide Last Tuesday’s Tennessee presidential primary results showed that big name endorsements do not always work. Santorum and Gingrich combined for more than 60 percent of the total GOP vote despite the Republican financial establishment and many public figures openly backing Romney. Santorum barely campaigned in Tennessee and yet he captured the largest number of votes. Had Romney spent more time in the state, it is possible he could have increased his margin. I doubt if a year ago many Tennessee Republicans had even heard of Rick Santorum, let alone decided to vote for him. But he won and that keeps him in the contest for a while longer. Gov. Bill Haslam’s Knoxville visit for Romney certainly changed some votes here as Santorum led substantially in early voting but the actual election day voting became almost a tossup between Santorum and Romney.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ What did voters say last Tuesday? Joe Jarret – Credentials be damned, you ain’t from around here. Phil Ballard – Parkey Strader’s influence remains. Wife Glenda and daughter Paula were key to the Ballard campaign. Conley Underwood – Nice guys really do finish last. Karen Carson – Experience and organization triumph over politics at least once in each election. Indya Kincannon and Steve Sword – Running unopposed is always best. ■ Newt Gingrich’s brother was at the Tennessee Conservative Union dinner and confronted Stacey Campfield. “It was a very short conversation,” said one onlooker. ■ Lloyd Daugherty was honored for 30 years service as chair of the TCU, and the late Alice Algood was recognized as a TCU founder. ■ Herman Cain had everyone in the floor with the line: “You can’t cure stupid.” ■ Harry Brooks says Tennessee sales tax collections are continuing to show a positive growth for the 23rd consecutive month. Harry’s got two community meetings on Saturday, March 17: 10 a.m. at Corryton Community Center and 2 p.m. at Powell Branch Library. ■ The school board will start budget talks at a workshop today (March 12) at 5 p.m. in the Andrew Johnson Building boardroom. ■ Word on the street is that Knox County GOP chair Ray H. Jenkins may join the law director’s office and Daniel Sanders may be elevated to chief deputy. – S. Clark

Clearly, there are several wings within today’s statewide Republican party. One backs the establishment (Romney) and then there is a majority which is more conservative and voted for their personal favorite more than they voted for the candidate they thought had the best chance to defeat President Obama. Haslam was able to bridge the two wings in his 2010 election for governor, but the coalition did not hold for Romney. However, the good news for Romney, who still remains the solid favorite to be the GOP presidential nominee after the Tampa convention, is that Tennesseans voting for Gingrich, Santorum and possibly Ron

Paul last week will still vote for Romney over Obama in November and Tennessee will be a strong state for Romney. ■ In mid-February, the under-reported city pension task force chaired by Bob Cross reported its findings to the mayor and City Council. If Mayor Rogero and Council wanted a road map to pension reform, the task force did not provide it. They made no serious recommendations. They did say the current system is not sustainable. They ducked and could not agree on proposals. Too bad. ■ Now Rogero must work on her own to make serious recommendations to council for them to approve or disapprove as recommendations to the voters in the November general election. She has picked deputy mayors Bill Lyons and Eddie Mannis to lead the effort. The people who will be directly impacted will be persons not yet hired as city employees. Current em-

this way – they think this will definitely develop into something like myeloma, and that is quite treatable. So my latest visit to Mayo was good news for me after 13 months of not knowing whether there will be a diagnosis or a cure. I consider what’s happened over the past year to be a tremendous blessing. It’s changed the way I look at life, changed my priorities and my relationship with Jesus. “What I’ve learned is, you’re never, ever alone, and I treasure the prayers of every person who’s prayed for me.” The St. Paul Bakers will have a complete list of the desserts they plan to make and the prices within the next week.

ployees might be impacted on the level of their contribution. Retired employees appear to be protected from any changes which would diminish their benefits. ■ There are several options Rogero can consider. She must have a decision to City Council by mid-June which coincides with council’s vote on her budget. This will be a test of her leadership to solve an inherited problem. I predict she will rise to the occasion. However, the easy part may be getting City Council to approve it to go to the voters. The hard part will be getting voters to vote for reform in the November general election. ■ The retirement of Speaker Jimmy Naifeh is not a surprise given redistricting and the passage of time, but it marks the end of another era in Tennessee politics. Naifeh’s legislative pension, based on 38 years service, will be $36,000 a year ($3,000 a month) which is more than a current legislator makes in actual salary. Time moves on.

Lessons from the election Shirley Underwood (also known as Aunt Shirley) is at heart a teacher. So after her nephew Conley lost a close election to Mike McMillan last Tuesday, Aunt Shirley sent a memo to his supporters asking what each had learned. I’ve not seen the results, but the question got me to thinking. Pat Summitt often says her teams learn more from losing than from winning. That’s certainly true with campaigns. Here are Clark’s rules: ■ It is not negative campaigning to compare your positions with your opponent’s. Unless you lie. ■ Politics is a blood sport. Those who don’t like blood should just teach political science. ■ Don’t burn bridges. Today’s foes may be tomorrow’s allies. ■ Hire Phyllis Severance. She’s managed campaigns for candidates outstanding and less so but she finds a way to win.

■ If you’ve got some Sandra lead time, change your last Clark name to four or five characters beginning with A, B or C. Is it coincidence that the top vote getters in each race were first on the ballot? Ballard over Whitehead; Armstrong over Jarret; Harris over Oster; Carson over Davis and McMillan over Underwood. That’s 100 percent. In school board District 3, Gina Oster and Doug Harris will return for an August runoff. Thanks to candidate Bobby Edington, no one got 50 percent plus 1. In unofficial results, Harris fell 22 votes shy of the magic number. The re-election of Karen Carson is good news for Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. There is opposition to him on the board, but the mutters will be muted until somebody counts to five. Carson’s win messes with that math.

Cuonzo Martin can coach I am from the group that thought the end of Bruce Pearl was the end of Tennessee basketball as we had come to know and love it. We were right. What we now have is very different. There is less carnival atmosphere and more emphasis on basics, far more emphasis on defense and tou g h ne s s , hysical Marvin pand mental. West There are not many quips. There is more discipline. Cuonzo Martin has captured my undivided attention. The man can coach. It took awhile but the team accepted his principles and became more like him. There were no cartwheels and fewer disco strobes but you could see and feel the fierce desire to win. My first inclination is to say Cameron Tatum led the remarkable transition. But so did Jeronne Maymon. And Trea Golden. And Skylar McBee. And Jordan McRae. Jarnell Stokes was the prize apple that dropped from a tree and filled the basket. The convergence of strange circumstances, high school ineligibility, an available scholarship and an obvious opportunity, changed several lives. I’m not sure Tennessee basketball has been previously blessed with such a miracle. Stokes brought a lot, grew a lot, did a lot and helped others do what they did. There are so many pleasant memories. There was the Yemi outburst, an unforgettable evening by Swiperboy, Josh Richardson’s improvement and surges of energy and rebounds by Dwight Miller. McBee could always shoot but effort made him into a very good defender. McRae discovered there are two ends to the floor. Golden eventually realized his performances had the power to determine outcomes. Maymon was a powerful force, day after day after day, the MVV. Ironic that he achieved excellence doing exactly what Marquette wanted him to do before he transferred. Kenny Hall’s fall from grace was three ways hurtful – team, self and those who care. The Tatum story is about coaching ge-

nius. Despite offensive inconsistencies, Martin kept the fifth-year senior in the starting lineup because he played “the right way.” Cameron worked on defense, hit the boards, generally protected the ball and looked in earnest for the open man. Ta t u m Cuonzo Martin signs autounderstood. graphs at Sequoyah Elemen“Hav ing tary School. File photo by S. Clark Coach Martin stand by me like he did, to keep having confidence that I could help this team, that was huge for me.” Golden’s inconsistency required far more instruction but Martin never gave up on the sophomore guard. The coach was rewarded with great effort and clutch points. These Volunteers exceeded expectations because expectations were erroneously hammered down. The Vols were never 11th in SEC talent but they certainly weren’t second, even after Stokes arrived. What they were was uncertain. New coach, new system, new culture, new approach – change forced a learning period. It was tedious. The team was very good in Hawaii and awful at other times. Think Athens and the AP evening. The Vols must have been very confusing for opponents. Sometimes they had more turnovers than goals. They were sometimes surprisingly effective. That they developed individually and collectively is coaching. The will to compete, the desire to win, was thrilling. The dramatic transformation was historic, maybe the best I have seen. Cuonzo Martin came with a plan. He says it worked sooner than expected. He can coach. We’ll check him later as a recruiter. Marvin West invites reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Eagles honored The Boy Scouts’ Eagle program was honored on its 100th anniversary by Knox County Commission last week. Pictured are Law Director Joe Jarret (left) and Halls resident Ted Hatfield (right) receiving the certificate from resolution sponsor R. Larry Smith. “Scouting is strong in East Tennessee,” said Smith, who praised Hatfield for having, “not one, not two, not three, but five sons who are Eagle Scouts.” Photo by S. Clark

Graybeal works to preserve history The Metropolitan Planning Commission’s new historic preservation officer Kaye Graybeal told the Council of West Knox County Homeowners that she is aware of complaints that her office doesn’t pay enough attention to Knox County outside the city limits.

Betty Bean She’s only been on the job since Jan. 2, but she says she’s working to change that perception and will be looking to assist projects like preserving the Lowe’s Ferry birthplace of David Glasgow Farragut, the first admiral of the United States Navy. She has also visited Historic Concord Village, the only West Knox County district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. She believes that a case can be made for adding the Farragut birthplace to the list, as well.

Demolition by Neglect ordinance might also come into play, she said. “We hate to see that resource decline any further,” she said. “It’s a red flag on a zoning map and they are obligated to maintain it. Since this has been brought to my attention, I can’t just ignore it. We’ll see if that is a tool we need to use or if the owner has plans to stabilize it.”

Spring and the signs NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Springtime just has a special feeling to it. The feeling came to me recently, as I stood and admired my first jonquil, a neat double blossom whose ancestors graced my grandmother’s yard well more than 75 years ago. The last of February had a lot of March days: sun, clouds, gusty winds and showers. And now the buds are coming out on the elms, the maples and the willows. And, the cardinals, tufted titmice, field sparrows and Carolina wrens are singing every morning. I suppose through the years the single event that always said it was spring was when we started planting the garden, a magical day when the ground was just right to work, and the sun was shining, and in went the onion sets and the spinach and lettuce seeds. What a great feeling. Folks around here know gardening. Our forebears had done it since before they left their old countries and came over the mountains. And it wasn’t done just for a cheery outdoor experience; there were many hungry mouths to feed, and besides, nobody had eaten anything that was fresh-grown since the last greens of fall. Our local gardening traditions go back a long way. Take seed companies and their catalogs, for example. Think how scanning those pages and pages of showy, weedless flowerbeds and luscious, ripe, always bugfree vegetables get the old juices flowing during those last dreary days of winter. Apparently, the Landreth Seed House in Philadelphia,

started up in 1798, is the oldest seed company in the country and is the fifth oldest corporation in North America. They introduced the zinnia in 1789 and the tomato in 1820. Can you imagine a garden without a bunch of both? The Park Seed Company was started up in 1868 by an enterprising 15-year-old, and eight years later, Burpee Seeds was started, by an also-enterprising 18-year-old. Earlier, the Shakers put out a catalog of garden seeds in 1831. The Shakers had a lot to do with how we do seeds today. Their official name was The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Coming. They lived in various places in the United States, from Maine to Kentucky, in communal settlements of strictly celibate men and women (no offspring). They kept going by taking in an occasional new member and by adopting orphans, but have finally all but died out. They left behind many amazing accomplishments, including their tradition of simplicity in their lives and their beautiful furniture. But they also in 1916 invented the concept of packaging garden seeds for sale in small paper envelopes, the way we see them in the store today. (Although they’re getting so expensive, it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t start selling them by the seed. But oops, that sounds like something my grandmother probably said 60 years ago.) The enterprising Shakers also made small wooden boxes to pack and distribute the seed packets in, to the country stores, where the customers would just

pick their selections out of the boxes. Decorated with pictures of flowers and vegetables, the boxes are big-ticket collectors’ items today; even modern facsimiles are expensive. Well, after you have gleaned your ideas from the seed catalogs and gone down to the store for your packets of seeds, there’s still the preparation and planting. Just go out there and whomp them into the ground? Certainly not, if you believe in planting by the signs! My main planting by the signs person was the late Earl Conner of the large Powell Conner clan. A master farmer and gardener, Earl used to plow our garden every spring. Without telling you when, beforehand, and without any thought of our paying him for the work. Earl was a believer and practitioner of planting by the signs. For you city folk who might not be familiar with the practice, it involves timing all your farming activities – removing brush, digging post holes, plowing and planting – according to the signs of the Zodiac. Foolishness, you say? Not if you had seen Earl Conner’s garden! It always looked like a page from one of those seed catalogs. They lived next door to the Colliers, and you could see his garden from mine. Well, no contest. Earl’s corn would be 8 feet tall while mine was just peeking out and trying to decide whether to go on and grow. Other than years of experience like Earl’s, how does one come to know about all this Zodiac stuff? Why, from the Old Farmer’s Almanac, of course. The Old Farmer’s Almanac was first published in 1792 and is the oldest continuously-published periodical in North America. It contains weather forecasts, tide tables, planting charts and all the Zodiac-related times to do all those chores or to not do them. For example, if you dig post holes when the signs are wrong, your fence posts are going to loosen up; if the signs are right, the posts will just tighten up in their

holes “like they growed there.” And, you don’t just throw all your seeds in the ground under the same sign. Some are right for the above-ground crops, and some for the root crops. Plant your taters when the signs are in the feet and they’ll all have little toes growing on them. The Almanac is famous for its weather predictions, although its accuracy varies a lot according to whom you ask. At any rate, it is a legendary part of life in rural America.

Every garden is as different as its gardener. Scientific, or by the signs. Organic, or full of dust, spray and fertilizer. Weedfree, or laid-back. But they all have the common thread of that hard-to-describe feeling that every gardener shares in some way, when those little seeds come up, by golly, living and producing for yet another season. Almost makes you want to hum a little tune as you pull those weeds.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A floating puzzle pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clara Van Thyn was 20 months old when her Jewish parents boarded a train in Holland and left without her in 1942. Sonja DuBois She did not realize the magnitude of their sacrifice until many years later when she had a grandchild. Sonja DuBois related her story last week at the XYZ Club of Powell United Methodist Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My memories are still coming together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a floating puzzle piece. By the time I started asking questions, there was no one to answer them.â&#x20AC;? Young Claraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family left her with a friend, a musician, when they were relocated by the Nazis. Her

mother and father were murdered at Auschwitz that same year. They were just 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to say I lost my family,â&#x20AC;? said DuBois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I realized, you lose your car keys. My family was murdered â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my mother, my father, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my three little boy cousins.â&#x20AC;? A million and a half children were murdered in the Holocaust, and 6 million total people died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was anyone who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jewish people, gypsies, homosexuals, Seventh Day Adventists.â&#x20AC;? DuBois lifted a print of Neyland Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You all know this. It holds a few more than 100,000 people. You would have to fill and empty it 60 times to reach 6 million.â&#x20AC;?

leaving. The United States was closed to immigrants, and the only places to go were Cuba or Australia. Her cousin went to Australia and was safe, but he was lost to his family. After the German invasion of Holland, things changed quickly for everyone, but especially for the Jews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were made to wear the Star of David, which they had to pay for. Later they could not go to the theatre or the beach. By 1941, the Jews lost their jobs. The exception was Jewish physicians who could only treat their own people, who had no money to pay for treatment. The country was filled with survivors, and some were Nazi collaborators. Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to make Europe â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean of Jews,â&#x20AC;? said DuBois. Her parents gave her up and she was taken in by foster parents whom she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;mom and pop.â&#x20AC;? Since they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have children of their own, I was their one and only, she said. She was raised

as a Christian and today attends Erin Presbyterian Church in Knoxville. DuBois drew a laugh when she showed her second grade class of 20 blond or red-haired children and one skinny, dark-haired girl, â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden in plain sight.â&#x20AC;? She acknowledged the help of the village â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the teachers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask questions, the pediatrician who helped fabricate a new birthday and name change, and the farmer who provided a glass of milk each day from a contraband cow kept hidden in the woods. In 1945, Holland was liberated. First came Canadian troops, then American soldiers throwing packs of Lucky Strikes and Hershey bars. Mom, Pop and Sonja immigrated to the United States when she was 12, settling in New Jersey. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak English yet, but she was safe. She could smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say thank you every day for life,â&#x20AC;? she said. DuBois is eager to share her story and PowerPoint presentation with people, especially adolescents.

Pieces of the past The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage. (Psalm 16: 5-6 NRSV) Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen. ... (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here O My Lord, I See Thee,â&#x20AC;? Horatius Bonar, 1857)

I love old things: things that have a story behind them, things worn smooth by the touch of many hands, or by the repeated touch of one particular pair of hands. For example, I have the rolling pin that my grandfather made for my grandmother. It is about 14 inches long, about 2 inches thick, made from poplar wood, which I have no doubt he took from a tree on the farm. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have handles, just slightly rounded ends, so the cook rolls it across the pastry with the palm of her hands. Even though that rolling pin is not perfectly smooth, it pleases me no end to think of Papa cutting and shaping and sanding it for his wife. She was 12 years his junior, and he adored her, referring to her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the prettiest girl ever to come out of Union County,â&#x20AC;? a beauty who was well and truly named â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Belle. Belle may have been a beauty, but she was also a farm wife, who worked hard. She washed and ironed and cooked and milked cows and often helped in the fields, too. She cooked a farm handsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dinner at noon (it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lunch if you had worked hard all morning!), then washed the dishes while Papa took a short nap, and went back to the fields in the afternoon. My Jordan now has the dough board that Belle used to make bread. It is a large, elongated wooden bowl that an older cousin and I cleaned up years ago, treating the wood with oil until it gleamed softly. Touching its silky smoothness links me with a woman I never knew: Belle died when my mother was just 18. I am pleased that Jordan treasures it. I also have a pair of

crystal chalices that my grandparents gave to their church for use in serving the sacrament of Holy Communion. When the church became more modern and did away with the common cup, the pastor gave the chalices back to the family. I understand that even the chalices are just things, and that the legacies of faith and love and strength of character that our ancestors pass down to us are far more crucial. The connectedness I feel with my grandparents when I hold things their hands touched pales in comparison to the wonder of the sacraments themselves. No matter how one understands the bread and the wine to be the body and the blood of Christ, there is power and healing and sustenance in those simple elements. As the bread is placed in my hand, it is both real and mystical, ancient and new, sustenance and promise. As the chalice is offered, it is blessing and sacrifice, celebration and mortality, joy and sorrow. I am grateful for the real, ordinary, simple elements which the Lord imbued with such meaning. I am grateful that I may â&#x20AC;&#x153;touch and handle things unseenâ&#x20AC;?: Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body and blood, and his love for us offered in the humble, everyday gifts of field and vineyard.

Once in a lifetime duo By Ruth White A journey isn’t always about where you are headed, but about the process of getting there. Halls High basketball players Madison Keith and Sydney Carden have travelled a road together for six years and have learned a lot about life and themselves along the way. The pair hit the basketball court together the summer prior to entering middle school and practiced with Brian Selvage in open gym. “Those were the hardest practices ever,” said Keith, “but the most fun.” Selvage spent practice time teaching technique and building up endurance in his players through “a lot of running.” “I knew that they were both driven to win,” said Selvage. He put them through tough workouts and had them play on occasion against boys in AAU games. “They understood how hard they would have to work to be successful.” Selvage instilled in his team the importance of working together and being a family – respecting each other and helping one another. “They bought into my work ethic and did a great job of getting the other girls to buy into it too.” Their 6th grade season (2006) saw few wins, but losing taught them to work harder. “You have to love the game to work seven days a week,” said Keith. As the middle school team started the 2008 season, Selvage knew that this particular group could win it all. “They were both mentally tough. They outworked everyone.” That year, the Halls Middle School girls’ team

brought home the Knox County Championship trophy. The girls took their drive and winning attitudes with them to high school. Neither believed in losing and making excuses wasn’t an option. Keith and Carden worked harder, led by example and continued to encourage teammates. During the 2010 season, the team received the biggest wakeup call when the boy’s basketball coach, Randy Moore, stepped up to also coach the girls team. “I have a lot of respect for coach Moore,” said Carden. “He shares the same passion for basketball and he always told us that we were winners.” Moore recognized the passion in his players and pushed them to a new level. As their senior year approached, both Keith and Carden believed that the team would win the district. “We had a lot of depth,” said Carden. Then adversity struck, taking out several starters, including Keith. “I knew the other players would step up,” said Carden, “but I never realized they would do it in such a big way.” Keith added, “This team showed a lot of maturity, showed how we have grown together as a family.” Keith broke her foot early in the season and it sidelined her. She attended every game and cheered on her team from the side. Keith used the same work ethic during her rehab so that she was able to enter the final home game of the season. During the game, Keith sank a 3-point shot which brought a roar from the crowd and fans to their feet.

Carden’s father, Mark, has battled health issues this year, but she has used this situation to better herself. “I know that my dad loves watching me and my brother, Tanner, play,” she said. “His illness has brought out a stronger passion in me and I wanted to continue to play as long as possible so that he could watch.” “It’s not only how they have played the game that has impressed me,” said Selvage, “it’s the way this amazing pair has dealt with adversity and has overcome.” The struggles these two have faced have brought them closer to God and has created what Selvage calls a “once in

a lifetime duo.” Both girls are thankful to Brian Selvage for helping them on their basketball journey. “I couldn’t have gotten this far without him,” said Keith. Adds Carden, “Brian is the person that rooted this deep passion for basketball in me back in the 6th grade. I could not have gotten this far without his help. He and coach Moore have made lasting impacts on our lives.” Although it’s been tough at times, the pair is thankful for the support they have received from family and friends. “Our parents’ support meant more than any-

Hopson is HES teacher of year By Ruth White

Gibbs High cosmetology teacher Stephanie Coppinger was selected as one of the school’s Teachers of the Year. Photo by Ruth White

A cut above By Ruth White Stephanie Coppinger has worked at Gibbs High School in the cosmetology department for ﬁve years. She had previously worked in a salon and taught at the Tennessee School of Beauty but wanted to give back to the industry through teaching. Coppinger enjoys the opportunity to teach her students about the art of cosmetology and so much more. “I teach not only cosmetology in my classroom, but also life lessons,” she said. “I love the girls in my class and want them to grow up to be responsible individuals.” Step inside her classroom and Coppinger is constantly moving through the group, checking on work, interacting with students and providing assistance as needed.

She teaches her class at the college level so that her students are well prepared when they graduate. In addition to traditional course material, such as cutting hair, styles, coloring and nails, she talks with the students on how to dress and act during a job interview. “I am their teacher ﬁrst, but also their friend,” she said. She draws from her experiences growing up and hopes that by guiding her students she can help them stay on a successful path. When Gibbs High announced the names of the teachers selected for top honors, Coppinger was surprised to hear her name. “It’s such a good feeling to be honored and know that my hard work has paid off.”

Working with children has always been a passion for Halls Elementary 2nd grade teacher Lauren Hopson. She loves the challenge of working with young students and helping them succeed in the classroom and in life. Hopson tries to incorporate fun, hands-on activities into the classroom every day and help make school enjoyable for her students. “I love science and like to do activities that require student participation,” she said. “I like to challenge them, especially in the areas of math and science.” The typical classroom day for Hopson’s students includes movement to keep students interested and active. The students rotate through various stations and one favorite is reading. During the designated time frame, students can select a reading activity of reading indepen-

dently, reading with a friend, listening to a book, writing and working with words. Incorporated into the school day are also lessons on responsibility. “I try to teach my students a sense of responsibility for their work and for their grades.” Being named Teacher of the Year was a true honor, one she shares with teacher Kristin Carris. Hopson doesn’t feel like anyone at Halls Elementary is more deserving than others because she knows that she teaches at “a fantastic school.” Carris shared Hopson’s sentiment about the school and said, “Halls is a great school with great kids, great faculty and staff, and great parents. It’s easy to like what you do in such an atmosphere.” When she isn’t teaching, Hopson enjoys going to the beach, watching movies, water skiing and roller skating.

He was hired in 1962 by Dale Watermulder, then Fountain City branch librarian. Laster later became the operator of the Bookmobile.

Outbreaks of the ulcers are often associated with mental stress, such as that experienced at exam time. The dentist can prescribe an oral ointment that will reduce the discomfort until healing occurs.”

Answer: “No, probably not. What you have described is very likely an outbreak of apthous ulcers. The cause of this condition is not completely clear, although it is known that it is not associated with the fever blister virus. Some dental researchers believe that there is evidence indicating that such ulcers are caused by an allergic reaction to a

of land sold during the month was $89.2 million, which also represented a slight increase from January’s pace. Last February, 456 parcels changed hands, worth a total of about $81 million. It should be noted that because 2012 is a leap year, this February did have an extra day. However, the numbers were still quite encouraging since February is historically the slowest month of the year for real estate activity. Lending markets held their own as low interest rates continued to draw eligible homeowners into reﬁnancing. February saw approximately $233 million loaned against property in

Knox County, compared to about $241 million the previous month. The largest transfer of the month was for commercial property located at 4505 Clinton Highway. The sale between Cappo Properties LLC and Super Automotive LLC brought just under $5 million. The largest mortgage transaction was the loan ﬁnancing the 4505 Clinton Highway property in the amount of $11.7 million. In second place was a loan made by Pinnacle National Bank to East Tennessee Healthcare Development LLC in the amount of $5.6 million, which involved several different properties.

Save Water, Save $$$: Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millie Modern Supply's design consultant + remodeling expert

Toilet Tips for Updating Buying a toilet isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as much fun as buying sassy spring sandals but a necessity! Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to know about toilets than meets the â&#x20AC;Ś well, you get it. Find the right flush for your bathroom with my toilet tips. A one piece toilet is sleeker, easier to clean and has fewer places for yuck to live. Two piece toilets are economical, easy to install and the bowl or tank can be replaced. Toilet height is measured from floor to rim. Standard is 14-inches; chair height is 16 to 17-inches and ADA compliant. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a 10-inch model perfect for potty training. Round, compact elongated or elongated â&#x20AC;Ś oh my! Small powder rooms may only have space for a round or compact model that extends about 27 Â˝-inches. Elongated are the most popular extending 29 Â˝-inches. The EPA WaterSense folks say older toilets use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush (gpf). Geez! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot! The government says the max flush canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more than 1.6 gpf. A WaterSense labeled toilet uses 1.28 gpf and can save a family of four more than $90 a year on their water bill. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a dual flusher with a partial and full flush that uses as little as 1.0 gpf. Other stuff that divas typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about â&#x20AC;Ś The flush valve is inside the tank. A large opening allows the water to pass through faster for a quick flush. Valve sizes are 2-inch, 3-inch or the mack-daddy, 4-inch. Next, the toilet outlet is the gateway to the sewer and bigger is better. Sizes

include: 2-inch, 2 1/8-inch and 2 3/8-inch. If toilet trivia has your brain spinninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, drop by and talk toilets with my plumbing peeps and â&#x20AC;Ś Tell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em Millie sent you! millie@modernsupplyco.com

at Modern Supply American Standard Flowise showerhead with up to 40% water savings.

Have you ever stopped to think how much it costs you to leave the water running while you brush your teeth? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth thinking about. An estimated eight gallons of water flows down the drain while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re brushing. At 16 gallons a day, leaving that water running wastes 5,840 gallons of water a year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of both water and money down the drain. Armed with that information you might want to turn the water off next time you brush. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all. A leaky toilet wastes about 200 gallons of water a day or 73,000 gallons a year. A faucet that is dripping at the rate of five drips a minute wastes 263 gallons a year; at 50 drips a minute, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wasting 2,628 gallons a year. The dollars are starting to add up here, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they? Even worse, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying for something you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even

using, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just water down the drain and into the sewer. Conserving water reduces sewer bills, too! These figures are compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of their program to educate the American public about the importance of preserving this vital natural resource and protecting our watersheds. The program is

on-going, but the annual FixA-Leak Week is March 12-18 this year. The environmentally conscious folks at Modern Supply heartily endorse the program. They have partnered with the EPA on this project and offer a wide range of Water Sense labeled products to make your life easier and save both money and water. They point out that if one in every 10 American homes upgrades a full bathroom with WaterSense labeled fixtures, including toilet, faucet and showerhead, we could save about 74

billion gallons of water and about $1.6 billion on our utility bills nationwide per year. Think on these facts: the average bathroom makeover saves about 7,000 gallons of water a year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to do six monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of laundry. Visit the Modern Supply showroom just off Lovell Road. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to re-do your bathrooms and put money in your pocket. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to phone ahead for an appointment with a WaterSense specialist, call 966-4567.

ow much money you save will depend on the cost of water where you live, but it makes sense that using less water lowers your utility bill. More importantly, using less water preserves this limited resource for generations to come.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps hard-to-heal wounds Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments are an important therapy in diabetic wound care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are fascinated with these treatments,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. George Schuchmann, medical director of the Fort Sanders Wound Treatment Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not for everyone, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a panacea.â&#x20AC;? The Fort Sanders Wound Treatment Center has two hyperbaric oxygen chambers in its outpatient clinic that are used to treat certain deep tissue wounds that may not heal with conventional therapies alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chamber delivers extra oxygen to the soft tissues, which helps bolster the immune system,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Schuchmann. Each treatment inside the oxygen chamber is called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;diveâ&#x20AC;? because of the increase in atmospheric pressure. The clear chambers are each 7 feet long, large enough to hold one person weighing up to 350 pounds. The patient slides in on a bed, and the chamber is sealed and ďŹ lled with 100 percent oxygen. Then, a technician slowly increases the atmospheric pressure inside the chamber to a pressure two to three times that of the outside atmosphere. As the patient breathes and lies in the chamber,

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy forces oxygen into the tissue, encouraging the formation of new blood vessels and promoting healing. the increased atmospheric pressure forces 10 to 15 times more oxygen into the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood stream and tissues than normal. At the Fort Sanders Wound Treatment Center the chambers are used for outpatient, long-

term care of wounds, bone infections called osteomylitis, wounds caused by cancer radiation treatments and for the healing of skin grafts. Most major insurance companies, including Medicare, cover

Oxygen therapy heals wound Foot ulcers are common among people who have diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves and create wounds. The wounds start out small, but because diabetics have reduced sensation in their feet, they may not realize they have a wound. An undetected wound can grow and take much longer to heal, often leading to infection. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why 64-year-old Beverly Petty of Loudon was worried three years ago when she developed a silver-dollar sized wound on the bottom of her left foot. Her podiatrist told her it was a dangerous condition called Charcot (pronounced sharko) Foot, which is when the bones in the foot become weak and start protruding through the bottom of the foot because of nerve damage from the diabetes. The wound didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal in nearly three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctors told me I needed to have my foot taken off,â&#x20AC;? explains Petty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No thank you!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? On the advice of a friend, Petty called Dr. G. Douglas Schuchmann, a general surgeon and medical director of the Fort Sanders Regional Wound Treatment Center. Last summer Dr. Schuchmann performed a number of tests on her and decided the best treatment for her was using a bioengineered

skin graft to cover the wound. After the skin graft, he prescribed 60 sessions in the Wound Treatment Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyperbaric oxygen chamber to help her heal. The Center has two oxygen chambers. These large clear cylindrical tubes allow one patient at a time to lie inside them, breathing 100 percent oxygen while under increased atmospheric pressure. A physician checks each patient before and after oxygen therapy treatment, especially for any strain on the heart or ears. The atmospheric pressure forces oxygen into the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells, which helps saturate the red blood cells with oxygen to promote healing. This is helpful for diabetic and radiation treatment patients. Friends and relatives drove Petty from her home in Loudon to

Fort Sanders Regional ďŹ ve days each week, for about three months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In no time at all the wound went from silver dollar size to the size of a dime,â&#x20AC;? she exclaims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely healed now. My foot looks better now than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looked in a long, long time. â&#x20AC;? Petty says the oxygen treatments are painless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except for your ears popping, you really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel anything. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt.â&#x20AC;? Each of Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatments lasted 90 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You watch TV or sleep while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the chamber,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear all the way around, so you can see out.â&#x20AC;? Petty says her wound treatment experience was very positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Dr. Schuchmann and the Wound Care Center is really great. I recommend it to anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a wound that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal.â&#x20AC;? Since her wound is healed, Petty is careful to prevent another infection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I check my foot with a mirror every morning and night, looking for cuts or cracks.â&#x20AC;?

hyperbaric oxygen treatments for the treatment of serious diabetic wounds. Quick wound healing is important to prevent a serious lifethreatening infection. Studies show that diabetic patients who

use hyperbaric oxygen treatment along with traditional wound care signiďŹ cantly reduce their risk of amputations of the foot or leg from diabetic ulcers. The major drawback to hyperbaric oxygen treatment is that it requires between 20 and 30 treatments to be effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not painful, but it is a large time commitment,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Schuchmann explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most patients require two hours a day of treatments, ďŹ ve days a week, for about six weeks.â&#x20AC;? Plus, the treatment is not safe for everyone, he adds. Increased atmospheric pressure in the chamber can worsen certain medical conditions like pneumothorax (a collapsed lung), congestive heart failure, cataracts or seizure disorders. The oxygen chamber is also not suitable for pregnant women or those with other underlying respiratory problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be very beneďŹ cial for some people as an adjunct treatment,â&#x20AC;? summarizes Dr. Schuchmann. For more information about hyperbaric oxygen therapy at the Fort Sanders Wound Treatment Center, call 865-541-2784 or go to www.fsregional.com/woundcare.

Time heals diabetic wounds slowly Non-healing wounds are particularly painful and dangerous for people living with diabetes. Foot ulcers are the most common, painful and debilitating side effect of the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diabetics have difďŹ culty ďŹ ghting off infections,â&#x20AC;? explains Nina Cash, a diabetes nurse educator at the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center. Cash says diabetes can make skin dry and irritated, and more easily damaged. If a skin break occurs, the bacteria on the surface of the skin thrive on the extra sugar in the blood, often leading to infection. And, because diabetes damages nerve function, patients may be less likely to feel a wound until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s severe. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Cash says the ďŹ rst line in skin defense is getting control of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. At the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center, a team of dietitians, nurses and exercise physiologists create a management plan for each patient with Type 1, Type 2 or gestational diabetes. Patients receive group or oneon-one education sessions, and the Center encourages family members to also attend the sessions. Getting control of the diabetes not only prevents wounds, it can also head off other complica-

tions, including kidney, eye, heart and nerve damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our dietitians see the patients, they calculate the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individualized needs, based on height, weight, age, activity level and eating habits. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to control their

diabetes,â&#x20AC;? explains Fort Sanders Diabetes Nurse Educator Tamra King. King says diabetes can be tricky, but not impossible to manage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some great success stories when our patients learn they can control their disease by making healthy lifestyle choices. With education, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel helpless, they feel empowered.â&#x20AC;? For information about managing diabetes, contact the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center at 865-531-5580.
