Spring has sprung! B&P gives donation for outdoor classroom arboretum By Jake Mabe Even though it’s felt like it since February, spring officially arrived last Tuesday. So, it was perfect that the Halls B&P donated $300 to the Halls Outdoor Classroom on March 20 to help get it designated as an arboretum. Knoxville-Knox County CAC AmeriCorps water quality team member Kelsey Hensley, who works at the outdoor classroom with students from Halls High School, says $125 of the donation will go toward the arboretum application. The other $175 will be used to put gutters on the Eagle Scout pavilion at the outdoor classroom, which will be connected to rain barrels decorated by students in Erica Johnson’s environmental chemistry class. Jeff McMurray’s carpentry class will build the gutters. Hensley said if approved the classroom will be a level one arboretum. Currently, Knox County has four arboretums. “It will be a nice, educational opportunity for students and the community,” she said. B&P second vice president Bob
Halls B&P second vice president Bob Crye laughs with Knoxville-Knox County CAC AmeriCorps water quality team members Jessica Ogden and Kelsey Hensley as they relocate and mark a tree at the Halls Outdoor Classroom. The B&P gave a $300 donation toward an application to designate the classroom as an arboretum. Photo by Jake Mabe Crye pitched in and grabbed a shovel for a few minutes last Friday morning to help Hensley and water quality team member Jessica Ogden, who works with students at Carter High, spread mulch around a Chionanthus virginicus tree. Hensley says Halls High students will be busy today (Monday,
March 26) helping get the classroom ready for the annual spring celebration, which will be held 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19, at the outdoor classroom. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Hensley says. “We’ve got trails to mulch. So, the kids are going to be outside.”
The outdoor classroom celebration will include food, s’mores, homemade ice cream, live bluegrass music, a pie eating contest, activities from Ijams Nature Center, children’s games and more. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. The outdoor classroom is located behind the Halls High campus near the softball field.
Proposed regs allow crematory expansion By Betty Bean If new city regulations proposed by the Metropolitan Planning Commission staff are approved by MPC and City Council, funeral homes in O1 office and C3 commercial zones (a designation that includes every such establishment in the city) will be allowed to add crematories as an accessory use. The proposed regulations will also loosen the requirements for freestanding crematories and pet crematories, allowing them as permitted uses in all industrial zones. The present ordinance prohibits freestanding incinerators in I-3 zones and requires use-on-review and a 30-day waiting period in I-4 zones. City Council member Nick Della Volpe asked the MPC staff to formulate the new regulations in the wake of controversy over Gentry-Griffey Chapel obtaining the permits necessary to build and operate a crematory in their Fountain City facility. Under the proposed regulations, a funeral home cannot conduct more cremations than
funerals and the floor space used for cremations cannot exceed one third of the total area of the business – i.e., the accessory use must not exceed the principal use: “To expand the activity of a facility for cremation beyond support of the principal funeral establishment by accepting bodies for cremation from other than the funeral establishment on the same lot would establish the crematory as an additional principal use on the lot and not an accessory use.” Cremation facilities must also be no less than 200 feet from any residence, park or school. In summary, MPC director Mark Donaldson said the new regulations were written to comply with state and case law that has defined cremation facilities and funeral homes as indivisible, and that studies done for the city of Spring Hill conclude that air emissions from crematories that are accessory uses to funeral homes present a low risk of harm, compared to free-standing crematories.

So, I went to see “Casablanca” last week at Regal Cinemas West Town Mall Stadium 9, a special Turner Classic Movies-sponsored showing for the film’s 70th anniversary. With one exception, which I’ll get to in a minute, it was a great time. This is a perfect film, a true testament to the studio system, the best American film ever made, with all due respect to the American Film Institute and “Citizen Kane.” There is not one wasted word, not one miscast actor, not one flawed scene. And the crazy part is the whole darn thing was an accident. “Casablanca” was just another film rolling through the Warner Bros. factory in 1942. The script arrived daily, in pieces, and didn’t have an ending. Director Michael Curtiz was great with the cast and terrible with the crew. Ingrid Bergman didn’t think much of the film itself. But a classic it became and, of course, it found an ending, a perfect one, courtesy of the Epstein brothers, who co-wrote the screenplay. Oh, and did you catch that the whole thing is an allegory for American involvement in World War II? And what a cast – Bogie,
Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Dooley Wilson, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, S.Z. Sakall. And that song, that haunting, beautiful song, immortalized by Wilson, you must remember this. All those money quotes: “Here’s looking at you, kid,” and “We’ll always have Paris” and “I’m shocked – shocked – to find that gambling is going on here” and not “Play it again, Sam.” Listen carefully. It’s never said. TCM host Robert Osborne recorded an introduction, telling us the movie was shot for about $900,000. He talked about the script problems and repeated the story (which may indeed be apocryphal) that Ronald Reagan was almost

cast as Rick Blaine. This is the movie that made Bogart a motion picture star. He was tough and he was vulnerable and, yes, he could play the romantic leading man and play one quite well. Our only unpleasantness for the evening was, again, a disappointing experience with digital projection. Yes, the print looked pristine. But, it kept getting interrupted with occasional pauses and a bizarre flashing message about someone not being authorized to view the film. At least it wasn’t as bad as the time I tried to see the documentary “Senna” at Downtown West and the subtitles – much of the film is in Portuguese – were cut off. (To Regal’s credit, they had literally just switched to all-digital projection and had it fi xed the following week.) Say what you will, though, none of this would have ever happened with a 35mm print. But, even that annoyance couldn’t ruin classic Hollywood’s cinematic triumph, a film for the ages, still the greatest of them all, as time goes by. The 70th anniversary edition of “Casablanca” will be released on Blu-ray and DVD this Tuesday (March 27).

7 p.m. Thursday, March 29, at Halls Middle School. Assemblies will be held with 6th, 7th and 8th grade students earlier in the day. “This will allow parents and the community to see what our children are going through,” Schmid says. Schmid says that, based on 2010 statistics, 1 in 7 students enrolled in grades K through 12 in the United States is either a bully or being bullied. He says 61 percent of kids involved in school shootings are the victims of violence, either at home or at school. And here’s the worst statistic: suicide is the leading cause of death among children under the age of 14. “The youngest was 9,” Schmid says. “This is a problem in our country. There’s even a new term for it: ‘bullycide.’ ” Schmid says the problem has gotten worse because of cyberbullying, virtually a 24/7 continuous attack that can occur online, through social media or via text messages. “Prevention is what I’m looking at,” Schmid says. For more info on the screening of “The Fat Boy Chronicles,” call 922-9622.
But, see it I did, and I’ve got the pictures to prove it. Those of a certain age will remember Davenport as “Mr. D.” He was a librarian at Brickey and Halls elementary schools and by reputation his velvet voice while reading stories to children was almost as smooth as Garrison Keillor’s. Mr. D has been attending a line dancing class Tuesday afternoons at the Frank Strang Senior Center for about four weeks now. It is taught by Evelyn Yeagle, who’s been line dancing since the 1980s. “It’s fun,” Davenport says, in his trademark laconic style. Yeagle agrees. “You get to meet a lot of people, especially at dance mixers like this.” Yeagle and her husband, Tom, teach a class for beginners at 1:30 p.m. and for everyone at 2. They also teach in Loudon County and have been at the Frank Strang Center for about a year. Last week, Yeagle led the beginners class through the Electric Slide (“Like the Bible is to religion, the Electric Slide is to line dancing,” she says), before walking them through an Irish stomp and a dance

By Jake Mabe Greg Schmid takes bullying personally. And not just because it’s part of his job. The teen development director at the North Side YMCA told the Halls Business and Professional Association that he was the obese kid being bullied back in school. Then he told a story about Eden, a 14-year-old from Washington state, who had been bullied for two and one-half years to the point she no longer wanted to go to school. Her family and friends knew nothing about it. On March 9, Eden hanged herself. Schmid says students tell him all the time, “Mr. Greg, nothing’s going to be done to these people who are bullying us.” If Schmid and others like him have anything to do about it, that’s going to change. The Y and the Halls Middle School tolerance committee are hosting a special screening of the motion picture “The Fat Boy Chronicles,” which will include a table discussion with author/screenwriter Michael Buchanan,

four. If they’re brand new, I ask them to commit to six weeks, but you can be up and dancing your first time. If I can get them on the floor, they’re going to have fun.” The Yeagles are originally from Pennsylvania but came to East Tennessee because of Tom’s job. Evelyn says she has a lot of fun. “Life’s too short if you don’t.” Health benefits are an added bonus. Evelyn has had one student whose blood pressure dropped back to normal and another who was able to wean off of diabetic medicine. One lost 64 pounds. She’s even got students in their 80s and 90s. “It’s not only good exercise physically, but you also have to work your mind. If you’re just walking on a treadmill, you’re usually listening to headphones or watching TV. Here, you’re counting. And you’re (not as likely) to get dementia or Alzheimer’s.” She says the class is growing. Twenty-eight showed up last week. Even the beginners looked like pros to me, especially on the Electric Slide. One woman beamed. “I’ve been trying to learn it for 20-something years!” Evelyn had given the class homework the week before.

government Rogero budget will presage greenway support Knoxville is closer to getting a greenway coordinator to fill Donna Young’s shoes. Recreation Director Joe Walsh is recommending Lori Goerlich and has sent her name to his boss, Christy Branscom, who apparently has not yet signed off on it.

A-4 • MARCH 26, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS less than that, I am told. If she does what is hoped, she will earn every penny of it. The greenway coordinator will report to Walsh. Whether this person will have access to the mayor directly or will have to go through Walsh to Branscom to Bill Lyons or Eddie Mannis and then to the mayor is unclear. However, given Mayor Rogero’s strong, deeply felt commitment to a green city, the new coordinator ought to have direct access and not have their thoughts filtered through three others before they reach the mayor. Knoxville should be adding at least four miles a year of new greenways to our current system. It will not happen unless the greenway coordinator is seen as having the mayor’s personal support. I have no reason to doubt Mayor Rogero’s sup-
port of greenways, but the test will come with what is or is not in her budget to be unveiled on April 27. ■ Meanwhile, Lonsdale Recreation Center, 2705 Stonewall, will get more space with the 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, event at which Rogero will help knock down a wall to start a $522,000 addition to the facility. According to Kathleen Gibi, recreation spokesperson, the renovation will include new restrooms, a new office, new HVAC, computer lab space and a multipurpose room which can be used for varied community events. KCDC is fronting $150,000 of the total cost. All represents good news for Lonsdale. ■ If former Sheriff Tim Hutchinson runs for state representative in the new Knox House district
and wins, it will represent a political comeback as stunning as Richard Nixon winning the White House in 1968 after losing the California governor’s race in 1962. Remember, this is the same person who lost in a landslide to County Mayor Tim Burchett only two years ago. Hutchinson did not even reach 20 percent of the total vote. If two years later he can win a seat in the Legislature he once again is a player in Knox County politics. If he serves two terms (four years), he will immediately qualify for a state legislative pension on top of the enhanced and controversial county pension he now receives. As a state representative, he will be able to block or support local legislation which requires approval of all seven House members.
■ County Commissioner Amy Broyles raised eyebrows last week when she mentioned increasing the County Commission size back to 19 members. Not certain whether she is advocating this or simply throwing it out for discussion. Broyles is a county charter committee member who is very vocal in meetings. Generally she is viewed as opposed to the old way of doing things, so it would be a surprise if she favored returning part of county government to the old commission with increased cost to taxpayers who would have to pay eight more commissioners’ salaries and pensions. The huge 27-member charter committee is operating under the radar screen with little media attention on its work.
Not dead yet Shots fired in Battle of Midway, part 2 Can church ladies move mountains? I wasn’t in Nashville last week, but I know enough about how things work down there to be able to describe the scenario, and I’d bet my best imitation Louis Vuitton bag that last Monday’s Chattanooga TimesFree Press editorial cartoon got emailed out, printed off, passed around and guffawed about all over the Legislative Plaza. But probably not where Rambo, the meanest hombre on Capitol Hill, could see them doing it. To be fair, Ron Ramsey’s probably no different than anybody else when it comes to being made the butt of somebody else’s joke. Nobody’d be tickled to see himself caricatured standing on top of a pile of Benjamins like he’d just summited Everest, planting a banner that says “Campaign Cash” with a cartoon balloon that says, “There is one mountain I’ll protect.” Nope, the Speaker of the Senate/Lt. Governor of Tennessee could not have been amused. The cartoon, of course, referenced Scenic Vistas Protection, a bill written by Knoxville lawyer Dawn Coppock, who has spent the last five years lobbying the General Assembly to ban mountaintop removal coal mining from Tennessee. She has given ground in the process (the bill now applies only to slopes 2,000 feet and above in altitude, for example), but she’s never given up, even after being dubbed the “Church Lady” and watching her bill killed off in obscure subcommittees year after year. She is one of the founders of LEAF, an environmental organization originally composed of
By Betty Bean
Betty Bean members of the Church of the Good Shepherd, which is dedicated to a philosophy called Creation Care, the heart of which is that God frowns on stuff like blowing the tops off mountains. And what the cartoon means is that people across the state are paying attention. The bill that started out as a minor annoyance to Ramsey, who has been the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the coal industry over the years, has grown into a major aggravation. After LEAF supporters kicked off this year’s session with a highly publicized 40 days of prayer for the mountains, culminating with a grand finale in a Nashville church in January, Ramsey had had enough, and decided to gut Coppock’s bill. Nearly a month ago, the Senate’s Republican majority came up with a version of the Scenic Vistas bill that purports to ban mountaintop removal, but in reality only bans dumping the rubble formerly known as mountains into surrounding valleys. Blowing the tops off is OK, as long as the remains are piled back up into mountainesque rock piles. Ramsey issued a press release declaring the mountains saved. His enthusiasm will be tested April 2, when the decoy bill is scheduled to go to the Senate floor, marking the first time a mountaintop removal ban has gotten to the floor of any state legislative body. The sponsor, Eric Stewart, will likely move to restore the original bill, and regardless of what the majority does, the world will be watching.
Second District County Commissioner Amy Broyles voted no on the Midway Business Park in 2010, in part because of community opposition and in part because she doesn’t support “greenfield” development, which she believes leads to sprawl. Today, she is undecided about The Development Corporation’s proposition to sell KaTom Restaurant Supply 22 acres of land at the Midway Road site and give them a substantial tax break to relocate from Hamblen County. “There are a lot of reasons for me to like this company,” Broyles said at her monthly constituent meeting last week. “I want them in my district, where people could walk to work. This is exactly the kind of business the 2nd District wants. This is a community that would welcome them with open arms.” KaTom was founded by Patricia Bible and her husband, Tommy, who died some years ago, leaving his widow with children to raise and 17 employees to keep working. Today, the business is bursting at the seams and has 62 employees, most of whom will follow the company to Knox County. TDC vice president Todd Napier said KaTom will hire 15 additional employees once the move is complete, and that the work force should number 135 after five years. Napier said the problem with Broyles’ observation is that KaTom, which started in Bible’s garage, isn’t willing to look at other county property. Bible likes the Midway location because of its proximity to Hamblen and Jefferson counties, where she and most of her employees live, its interstate exposure and its location near the larger population center of Knoxville.

The neighborhood’s primary concern is the area around it is heavily riddled with sinkholes. Most everybody up there is on well water and there is a huge concern about polluting the ground water,” Wolfenbarger said. “At first they were talking about building a regional sewer plant in the vicinity of Seven Islands Wildlife Park.

Starting over So, Tennessee football is starting over. Spring drills begin. Bright new faces. Exciting time. In a previous beginning, we heard that newness is a problem for coaches, that it takes time to establish recruiting relationships. Some were obviously formed but seven-tenths went away in the mass exodus. In the beginning, players and position coaches had to get to know each other. Today, no Volunteer has the same position coach he had last year. This is different, a world turnover record with the head coach still in place. We can only guess at why and how this happened. It wasn’t money. For the convenience of Lane Kiffin, Tennessee doubled the budget for assistant coaches.
Marvin West
When it was Derek Dooley’s turn to spread the wealth, he hired medium-large names from different places and varied backgrounds. Defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox was the star. Expectations and potential were high. Nobody could have foreseen that almost everybody would so soon be gone. This is Tennessee. Great place to live. Rich tradition. Big ballpark. Enthusiastic fans. How much better does it get?
Bennie Wylie, strength and conditioning coach, started it. He worked out with the team – with his suitcase packed. The Chuck Smith story was strange. This personable former Volunteer was Dooley’s high school buddy. He would coach defensive linemen. That renewed partnership lasted one whole season. Personality conflict? Different view of work hours? Smith and Dooley reached a “mutual decision” to part. Smith conducted a rambling press conference that did not explain anything. No problem. The solution was in-house. Peter Sirmon, former standout with the Tennessee Titans and former Oregon roommate with Wilcox, was a graduate assistant. Lance Thompson became defensive line coach. Sirmon, with name recognition
Eric Russell, tight ends and special teams, departed for Washington State. He later admitted he was seeking job security. Eric thinks the Vols are under pressure to win now. Dooley showed no panic. “Sometimes you hate losing them. Sometimes it’s good because sometimes turnover is a healthy thing. Either way, it’s a great chance to say, ‘Hey, where can we get better through this?’ That’s what we’re going to do.” Additional opportunities followed. At a serious time in recruiting, Wilcox moved to Washington. Sirmon took the same flight. We don’t know if Dooley could have stopped them with raises. Could be Wilcox concluded the SEC is just too tough. Dooley made positive adjustments – offensive coordinator Jim Chaney to QB coach, Darin Hinshaw, bless him, to receivers. Ex-Vol Jay
and personality, became a hot recruiter and very good coach of linebackers. If there ever was staff stability, last season broke it up. The 5-7 record with that messy finale at Kentucky created nervous tension. There were whispers that Dooley discipline was adjustable. Critics, just waiting for proof of problems, said the coach might not make it. Rival recruiters told anybody who would listen. Turnover, Phase II, started with Charlie Baggett, long history of success, 11 years in the NFL. The press release said he retired at 58. A freedom of information peek showed Charlie was paid $425,000 to go away. Harry Hiestand, supposedly a good offensive line coach when hired, got saddled with his fair share of a failed running attack. He was suddenly considering other opportunities. He resurfaced at Notre Dame.
Graham came to coach running backs. There was applause. Dooley went “Alabama” to replace Wilcox. Sal Sunseri brought in former associate Derrick Ansley and probably recommended John Palermo. Charlie Coiner was an easy choice. Available. Lance Thompson? Oh, after two passovers for promotion, he went back to Alabama. Dooley, the faithful few and reinforcements did OK in recruiting. As new assistants were getting acquainted, Terry Joseph, with Dooley at Louisiana Tech, moved laterally to Nebraska. Hmm. What do the migrants know that we don’t? Was the original Dooley formula just trial and error? Is the staff better for changes? This new season could be very exciting. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Possum Valley
traces roots to Civil War MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell
I was talking to a couple of my Farragut High School classmates a few days ago – Lafayette Williams and Earl Hall – and during our conversation we discussed the area where they grew up, just a few miles southwest of Concord Village. Today, that gently rolling pastoral area is the home of the new YMCA and subdivisions with homes in the million dollarplus price range – Montgomery Cove, Mallard Bay, Jefferson Park, Cabot Ridge and numerous others – and commercial development has also started to take hold. But 60 years ago the whole area was known to locals as “Possum Valley” and the westernmost end of Northshore Drive was called “Possum Valley Road.” I wonder how many of the area’s new residents are aware that they live in Possum Valley. No one is quite sure how the area acquired its name, but the most plausible explanation seems to be attributed to Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s Union forces that wintered there in 1863. In some of the soldiers’ diaries they noted that, “If it had not been for the possums, we would have starved to death.” One of the notorious residents of the area was Charley Smith, also known as Lying Charley Smith and Possum Valley Charley Smith. Charley was one of those characters who delighted in amusing his friends with his tall tales. And people were always glad to see him coming
because they knew they were in for a big laugh. Charley also told stories about himself and the Possum Valley area. I remember him saying once that “if a rabbit ran across the road in front of you, you had better slam on the brakes because there would be a man right behind it.” Now, Burnside’s soldiers and Charley’s tales suggest that the area was a very poor place where possums were the main food source and men literally tried to run down rabbits for food. But neither of these depictions is accurate. In fact, the area was selfcontained in that it had its own churches with adjacent cemeteries, a school where several classes were taught in the same room by a single teacher and a country store that was a favorite gathering place. Most of the area’s residents made their living by farming. And like their Scots-Irish ancestors, they were extremely independent people who grew their own vegetables, raised their cattle and poultry to provide meat for their families, and depended on the sale of their cash crops for income. And families were very supportive of each other. Indeed, it was a place where farmers would readily lend their farm machinery and labor to a neighbor who might be temporarily in need. And it was a place where people put in 12-hour workdays six days each week and emphasized the value of such traits as honesty, hard work and virtue in their
parenting. And their early training must have had an influence on them because most of the “possum valley boys” excelled in both sports and academics in high school.

Most Possum Valley residents lived in traditional, two-story, clapboard farmhouses at the end of dirt roads. In fact, all of the roads in Possum Valley were dirt, and alternating periods of drought or rain each presented their own problems. During dry periods, you could see vehicles coming far in the distance by the dust cloud, so not many people were inclined to wash their cars or pickup trucks. Today, the influx of new residents and modern subdivisions has completely changed the area landscape. Single mailboxes and dirt roads leading to farmhouses have been replaced with beautiful subdivision entrances that lead to paved streets with exciting street names. And if you ask one of these newcomers where they live, they will proudly say Mallard Bay, Montgomery Cove or Jefferson Park. But if you can find one of the locals –their numbers are declining rapidly – and ask where they live, they are apt to say, “Oh, down in Possum Valley.”

Pasta cook-off benefits Family Promise By Theresa Edwards Sacred Heart Cathedral’s annual pasta cook-off again benefited Family Promise, a nonprofit organization which helps homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. Family Promise has a day place where people can use a computer, telephone, laundry facilities and storage and have an address to apply for various assistance programs such as food stamps. Overnight stays are available at a circuit of churches. A shuttle provides children transportation to and from school and adults to work or back to the day house. Denessee McBayne is a graduate of the Family Promise program and will soon become a board member. She shared her story of unfortunate circumstances transforming her from a corporate person with a 401(k) to losing everything, becoming “residentially challenged.� McBayne was a youth minister in South Carolina and always took people in. Then the tables were turned when she became displaced. It was a challenge. “It took losing everything to gain so much more, so I could share it with other people,� she said. “It’s been a great experience. You don’t lose your identity.

The first day I walked into the Refuge, I noticed that snatches of poetry and Scripture had been printed on plain white paper and posted in the windows of the interview rooms. The fragment from Mary Oliver’s poem, “The Summer Day,â€? quoted above, was posted just across the hall from what would be my office. I didn’t see it that day; it was only later that I stopped to read it. It has haunted me from that day to this, for many reasons. It is still posted in that window and, even now, I stop again to read it. It speaks to me on so many levels. I know “what a prayer is.â€? But do I know exactly what it is? Probably not. I cannot explain the mysteries of communicating with the Almighty. But I know what it feels like to turn at the end of the day to His arms, like a child going to sleep on her daddy’s lap. I know what it is to whisper, “Oh, help,â€? when faced with a problem above my pay grade. I know what it is to pray, “Thank you,â€? when I know that somehow I have managed to make a difference. It has been a long time since I have had (or rather, taken) the time to “fall down in the grass ‌ to be idle and blessed.â€? When I was a young teenager, I used to sit in my climbing tree and think and dream and read and pretend. Those days are gone, and so is the tree, I noticed recently, to my sorrow. The poet is right: every-
Lynn Hutton
CROSS CURRENTS thing dies “at last, and too soon.â€? It is the last two lines of the poem, however, that caught – and hold – my attention: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?â€? If we are gone, and that too soon, how will we spend the time between now and then? How will we invest our life, our energy, our wit, our love? How will I use or spend (or – God willing – give) my one wild and precious life? The longer I have lived with that poem reverberating in my head and heart, the more I have come to the following conclusion: that Mary Oliver was not after an answer to her question â€œâ€Ś what will you do with your ‌ life?â€? She was after awareness: an awakening of the soul to the knowledge that life is “wild and preciousâ€? and that “everything dies at last, and too soon.â€? As spring comes again to these hills, spend at least part of your wild and precious life doing whatever it is that will allow you to drink in the moments and savor the wonder of it all.

Halls High softball off to solid start By Phil Bridges The Halls High softball team is off to a great start, stacking up four straight wins to open the 2012 season. Halls won the season opener March 12 at Anderson County and introduced freshman pitcher Tori Branum, who got the win and was supported by a 10-hit offense including three doubles by sophomore Kelsey Whited. On March 13, Halls hosted Emory Road rival Gibbs, where Branum went head-to-head against senior pitcher
Samantha Smith. Halls outhit Gibbs 13-7 and won 11-3 with RBI production by Whited, senior Stephanie Bridges, sophomore Alyssa Mabe and freshman Katie Corum. On March 14, Halls hosted Black Oak Ridge rival Central in a close slugfest that came down to the last inning. Both teams racked up 13 hits, but Central errors broke the seventhinning tie to allow Halls to record its third straight win 9-8. This was also the first win of the season for junior
pitcher Leah Hall. Clinton visited Halls on March 15, and with nine hits and no errors Halls was able to shut down the Dragons 11-1 in five innings, giving Halls a solid 4-0 start and pitcher Hall her second win. Halls is coached by Ellisha Humphrey, who is in her sixth season with the Red Devils, assisted by Bryan Gordon. The team resumes action at 6 p.m. today (Monday, March 26) at home against Powell.

NEWS FROM ATTORNEY REBECCA BELL JENKINS
Attorney Rebecca Bell Jenkins expands law practice to Powell A
at 534 West Emory Road, in the home once occupied by her grandparents, the late Joyce and Alvin Bell Jr., and next door to what was the home of her great-grandparents, the late Sally and Alvin Bell. That property is now occupied by Realty Concepts. Rebecca says the addition of the Powell office “is the result of so many people I have known all my life saying ‘I wish you had an office closer to where I live.’ My goal is to make things more convenient for those folks.” This second office will make things more convenient for Rebecca’s immediate family, too. They live in the Brickey Community and attend Faith United Methodist Church. Her husband, Jerald, is an employee of Knox County 911 who graduated from Halls High School. His mother, Imogene Jenkins, worked for many years in the cafeteria at Brickey Elementary School. His Dad, the
bout the only time Rebecca Bell Jenkins has strayed far from her home in Powell, where she was born and raised and where her family put down roots in the 1700’s, was when she went off to the University of Georgia to graduate with high honors and to go on to get a law degree. Rebecca has been licensed to practice law since 1995. The daughter of the late Carolyn Bell and of Alfred Bell, who served on the old Knox County Court, taught at Powell High School and then worked as a supervisor in the school system until his retirement in 2005. She started her career in the Knox County Attorney General’s office, where she prosecuted DUI cases. She went into private practice in 2000 with offices at Franklin Square in West Knoxville, where she will continue to practice. But she has now returned to her roots with her law practice, opening a second office
late Don Jenkins, owned and operated the Waldorf Restaurant on Clinton Highway. In her law practice, Rebecca says, “Our office focuses on legal issues that are most likely to impact people or someone they know on a daily basis such as family law: divorce, adoption, child custody, post-divorce child custody issues, child support (collection or modification), estate planning: wills, power of attorney, and personal injury.” In the area of estate planning, she emphasizes the importance of three critical documents: a will, which she says everyone 18 years or older who has assets and/ or children should have; a Power of Attorney document, which specifies who can make decisions for you on health care and/ or financial matters if you become incapacitated, and a Living Will, which states whether heroic measures should be taken to save your life in certain life-threatening situations and also communicates whether you wish to be an organ donor. She assists her clients with their legal needs in everything from drafting the most simple documents to representing them in courtroom trials. “In a general practice such as this, we do pretty much everything our clients need.” Bell Jenkins is also certified as a Rule 31 listed Family Mediator.

News from Rural/Metro
Careers in emergency services By Rob Webb While the overall job market may be tough right now, job prospects are good for those pursuing careers in emergency services. According to Webb the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment is expected to grow in all emergency sectors. Aging baby boomers will contribute to an increased demand for first responders, EMTs and paramedics. Emergency room overcrowding and hospital specialization can also create longer patient transport times making additional emergency service providers necessary. Rural/Metro is one of the largest employers of emergency service professionals
in East Tennessee, employing more than 800 EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, telecommunicators and support personnel. We have a compassionate and committed team which continues to grow to meet the needs of our community. When you are committed to your work, it is exciting to help others get involved. That’s why several Rural/ Metro professionals recently spent a day speaking to students about the emergency services field during the Knox County Schools Career Fair held at the Knoxville Expo Center. We were one of nearly 80 local employers on site to give high school students information on career options. Many students were genuinely interested in learning about emergency service. Others enjoyed checking out our latest technology, including our state-of-the-art ambulance, fire truck and
the Segways used to help us respond in densely populated venues such as sporting events and festivals. We are also reaching out to future emergency service providers through a new pilot program for firefighter training with seniors at SouthDoyle High School. The Fire Cadet Academy is a two-part training program in conjunction with our state-accredited Fire Academy to offer interested students the first phase of firefighter instruction during the school year. Upon successful completion of the course and graduation from school, qualifying cadets will be able to complete their training and actual live-fire experience as reserve firefighters. When the 240-hour training program is complete, students are qualified to test for certification as a Level 1 Firefighter, the minimum level required
Rural/Metro firefighters Brandon Gross and Tim Hancock speak with Abby Herrell and father Rick Herrell at the Knox County Schools Career Fair. Rural/Metro team members discussed career opportunities in both fire and emergency medical services with the nearly 3,000 8th graders and high school students attending the event at the Knoxville Expo Center. Photos submitted by most fire departments. Rural/Metro is proud to partner with Knox County Schools on a variety of safety programs and services. But it is especially rewarding to help students interested in emergency services pursue
a career in this growing field and join the dedicated profes-
sionals who serve and protect our community.
Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Stop snoring NOW with the Fort Sanders Sleep Center! There’s never been a better time to get a good night’s rest, according to Scott Vogt, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. With the latest in sleep disorder treatments, your sleep problems – especially loud snoring – can be cured, says Vogt. “Snoring is not normal,” he explains. “Snoring happens because there’s something obstructing your airway at night.” Loud snoring is often caused by a common condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This is when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and narrows. As the person tries to breathe, the air must squeeze through the narrow opening, causing the snoring rattle. If the airway closes completely, the patient will stop breathing for a second and gasp for air. This can happen hundreds of times each night, preventing the person from getting into a deep state of sleep. In the morning, the sleep apnea sufferer is likely to have headaches, mental distraction and fatigue. He or she is also at a higher risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke and even diabetes, Vogt says. “In the deeper stages of sleep, the brain releases chemicals to heal the body,” explains Vogt. “So when you’re constantly having sleep apnea events, the body doesn’t heal itself.” Fortunately, the treatment for sleep apnea is a simple one, and recent advances have made it easier than ever.
The main treatment for sleep apnea is to sleep with a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, a bedside pump that delivers forced air through a mask and down the nose and mouth to keep the airway open and eliminate snoring. “The CPAP has been around a long time, but the machines have gotten a lot better in the last few years,” says Vogt. “They’re smaller, and they look like bedside clock radios. We have patients who have hiked the Appalachian Trail with their CPAPs. They just take a little battery pack with them.” CPAP masks have also improved over the years. “They’ve made the masks smaller and lighter, with new materials,” says Vogt. “They come in all kinds of colors and styles, too. There are pink or camouflage colored headbands and lighter tubing to reduce the pull of the tube on your face. “It’s easier than ever to find one that’s comfortable for you, and that makes you want to use it more. If a patient won’t use the CPAP, it’s not doing them any good,” states Vogt. “It’s like having a bottle of pills and not taking them.” Some patients need to try several masks before they find the one that works for them, Vogt says. “It might take a few days to get the right one. We’ll get those patients who say, ‘There’s no way I can wear this.’ And then once they feel the benefits, it’s almost instantaneous,” he smiles. Eliminating the snoring is likely
Many smaller, lighter CPAP machines are now available for people suffering from sleep apnea. the apnea is keeping the spouse awake.” The Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

“Snoring is not normal. It happens because something is obstructing your airway at night.” – Scott Vogt, Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center Director
Fatigued? Sleep better with the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center Tired all the time? If you’re still sleepy after eight hours of rest, there might be an underlying medical cause to your fatigue. Typical signs of a sleep disorder include difficulty falling asleep at night, waking many times during the night, pauses in breathing while asleep and exhaustion during the day. The best way to pinpoint and solve a sleep problem is to be evaluated by a nationally accredited facility such as the Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The six-bed sleep laboratory is a longtime member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The Center is staffed by two physicians and seven licensed sleep technologists. They can determine the root of your sleep problems. “There are many sleep disorders,” explains neurologist Dr. Thomas Higgins, a Sleep Medicine physician and director of the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “Medical conditions, neurological problems, poor sleep habits, stress, anxiety and depression
– these can all bring about sleep problems.” The Center’s staff performs an initial evaluation on each patient and determines whether an overnight or daytime sleep test is needed. If so, the patient is connected to monitors that measure brain
wave activity, heart rate, oxygen levels and breathing while they sleep. “By digitally recording a patient’s brain, heart and air flow during sleep, we can often identify what’s causing the sleep difficulties and work together toward a solution,” says Dr. Higgins. And finding a solution to your sleep problems is important for your overall health, points out Dr. Higgins. Longterm sleep deficits can increase your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and other medical conditions. “Successfully treating a sleep problem can change your life,” states Dr. Higgins. For more information about diagnosis and treatment of your sleep problem, call the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center at 865-541-1375.

■ Avoid consuming caffeine at least four to six hours before bedtime and minimize daytime use. ■ Don’t smoke, especially near bedtime or if you awake during the night. ■ Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before bedtime. ■ Get regular exercise, but avoid exercising right before bedtime. ■ Minimize noise, light and excessive temperatures where you sleep.
z
■ Go to bed at the same time each night. ■ Try to wake up without an alarm clock.

■ Don’t stress about it. Worrying about not being able to sleep only exacerbates the problem.
