Newsom scholarship winners honored Head shop owners won’t return By Betty Bean

Last week, a sign propped up in front of a head shop raided by the Knoxville Police Department for selling synthetic marijuana raised questions about whether the Hi Life Wonderland 2 will be reopening under a new name. Big Pete’s. Coming Soon. We have to change our name.” One of four such shops padlocked by the KPD’s Organized Crime Unit after a two-month undercover operation, the Hi Life Wonderland 2, 5814 N. Broadway, was shut down under the city’s public nuisance ordinance. The prospect that it would reopen under a new name was cause for alarm among community members who noticed the sign. Prosecutor Eric Counts said his office reached an agreement with the Hi Life Wonderland 2 and its landlord, Ft. Sanders GP. “In exchange for us not going fur-

ther with criminal actions against them, Hi Life Wonderland 2 agreed to be permanently enjoined from doing business,” he said. Counts said there is no evidence that Ft. Sanders GP was aware of its tenant’s activities, but his office will not be amused if a head shop reopens there, whatever it’s called. “My agreement with Ft. Sanders GP was if the Hi Life Wonderland 2 agrees to a permanent injunction and if they were to immediately evict Hi Life Wonderland 2, Ft. Sanders GP can obviously lease it back out. But our agreement is that they are not to have a smoke shop. They are not to be a head shop. This time around, if we find that this is going on again, I would have a legitimate reason to then question the Ft. Sanders GP. One time is a mistake. Two times, I start seeing a pattern.” Attorney T. Scott Jones, who rep-

resents Hi Life Wonderland 2 owner Nicky N. Wyrick of Baton Rouge, La., did not respond to a request for comment. The former Hi Life Wonderland 2 is of particular interest to authorities because of its location at the intersection of Broadway and Jacksboro Pike, just blocks from Central High School and a mile from Halls High. Counts also said Wyrick isn’t getting back the bongs, water pipes and other drug paraphernalia confiscated in the February raid. “All that’s ours right now,” Counts said. “Until there’s a further order of the court, we’ve agreed that

everything we took out of the business becomes our property. What we do want is a business that’s not destructive to the community. The High Life Wonderland 2 head shop is gone. Everybody knows what those things are really used for, and there should not be a head shop around Central High School.” Attorney Matthew Grossman, who represents Ft. Sanders GP, checked with his client and reported that despite the sign, his client is complying with the court order. “That tenant will not be returning,” he said. And on Friday, the sign was gone.

Todd Shelton and Rick Roach talk to Democrats about healthcare reform. Photo by Betty Bean

Healthcare exchange Legislators should get to work

Todd Shelton and Rick Roach are volunteers with the Tennessee Healthcare Campaign, a non-partisan statewide consumer healthcare advocacy group that takes no government funds. Both Shelton and Roach, guest speakers at the March meeting of the 4th District Democrats on a day when the fate of the Affordable Healthcare Act was being debated before the U.S. Supreme Court, said they got involved because of family experiences. Shelton’s sister left her job as a respiratory therapist to return to Middle Tennessee and take care of their mother in her final illness. She lost her own health insurance in the process. After their mother died, the sister, who went back to work, found herself in need of two hip replacements, and despite getting help from her community, she is now $100,000 in debt for the surgeries. “It’s ridiculous that a country like our own isn’t flexible enough to take care of people when they need it,” Shelton said. Roach had a similar story – his mother died in 2004 after a long, problematic hospitalization. “Quality of care was an issue. There was waste of resources and lots of non-personal decisionmaking,” he said. Not long after his mother’s death, his 21-year-old niece was kicked off TennCare and died eight months later. “She had been turned into an ‘emergency room rabbit,’ because she was forced to resort to emergency room visits for basic medical care,” Roach said. “I am a single-payer proponent. Bottom line is people have access to healthcare.” If allowed to stand, the new law goes into effect in 2014, and regardless of what the high court does,

Betty Bean

Roach and Shelton urged the group to lobby their state legislators to get to work on setting up a state healthcare exchange as required by federal law. They were echoing what Gov. Bill Haslam said late last year when Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey said he wanted the General Assembly to wait until December 2012 to start the process, thereby missing the deadline for federal grants. Shelton likened the exchange to “an insurance mega-mall” and said that not moving forward on creating the exchange will deny Tennessee the opportunity to take advantage of $89 million in federal funding meant to build the exchange and provide incentives for physicians and other medical personnel to become involved in primary care. He said that the clock is ticking, but “there’s still money available right now.” Roach said that THC volunteers have been talking to legislators, with mixed results. “I have talked to Steve Hall and Stacey Campfield. They say, ‘We don’t really know that much about it…’ But they understand the time frames. The most important date is January 21, 2014. The second-most important date is October 2013. That’s the beginning of the enrollment period for the exchange.” Shelton and Roach said it is critical for citizens to speak out. “This message has to be delivered to the population. This is a huge job that there’s no funding for. This is a huge stimulus to everybody’s economy.”

Rogero gains cease fire in tree war Mayor Madeline Rogero has secured a stay of execution for the trees near Summit Medical just off Wellington Drive in Larry Silverstein West Hills. She acted decisively in calling TVA CEO Tom Kilgore to ask for delay. What is next? Will TVA come to its senses and halt this needless destruction of trees in its headquarters city? Will compromise be a word TVA embraces or rejects? KUB is kind and gentle in its tree cutting policies compared to TVA. KUB at least notifies you and talks with you and makes exceptions in some cases. On occasion, KUB even replaces trees with shorter ones. TVA’s current management sends third or fourth level people to meet with County Commission and city officials on this issue – people you have never heard of and will not see again. TVA’s contempt for private property rights defies explanation. Cynthia Moxley has been

Let’s talk about the newspaper business. How to compete in a world where folks expect instant information for free? Someone smarter than I am will figure this out. Meanwhile, at ShopperNews we are cutting back editorial staff while competing for scoops with a daily paper, three TV stations, radio, websites, Twitter and blogs. And our papers are printed on Friday evening for Monday delivery. Last week Betty Bean wrote a hard-hitting story called “TVA wages war on trees.” On Sunday, a day before our papers hit the homes, the News Sentinel published a similar story with the same sources and even the same picture. By Monday, it seemed we had copied their story. Not so.

shrewd in her advice to KUB. Will Janet Brewer, the new $235,000 a year TVA communications chief, be equally shrewd? What is stunning and puts TVA’s claims to challenge is that tree cutting has never been an issue for TVA within Knoxville for 30 years. Now TVA tells us that these trees on Wellington Drive are an immediate threat and must be cut within days or the Valley might face power outages. TVA has no plan to meet with neighborhood people, no public outreach, no replacement trees and the top folks like Tom Kilgore are AWOL on this issue. In fact, TVA did not tell the city of its plans to cut trees. They learned of it through the yeoman efforts of longtime West Hills resident and attorney Larry Silverstein who has made preservation of trees a personal cause.

Sandra Clark This past week, Shannon Carey noticed a handmade sign at a shuttered head shop on Broadway. The shop, along with three others, had been closed following a raid by the Knoxville Police Department. The sign indicated the same owners would be back with a name change. Betty Bean jumped in, calling KPD, the attorney general’s office, the lawyer for the business and the lawyer for the landlord. She wrote a great story. But on Friday, the sign disappeared. And our story evaporated. Bean emailed: “All I could

Kensington subdivision is next, and it lies outside the city but in Knox County. Mayor Burchett can help here. Council member Finbarr Saunders is sponsoring a resolution similar to what County Commission adopted by a lopsided margin last week asking TVA to cease and desist. Commissioners were openly hostile to TVA representatives. TVA should delay the execution of the Wellington Drive trees pending consultation and review. That can only occur if Tom Kilgore and the TVA Board become more sensitive to local concerns. Valley relations have never been more strained with TVA than they are today. During this reprieve, local officials and residents need to contact Rep. Jimmy Duncan as well as Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. TVA actually listens to federal lawmakers on occasion. It is a milestone that Kilgore honored Mayor Rogero’s request. Mayor Rogero earns our thanks for speaking up for trees and showing she means it when it comes to a green city. How far she will go in changing policy? TVA’s plans harm our city. Kilgore needs to sharply question his own staff. Rogero can be a key instrument of change here. ■ Randy Vineyard, former 17-year Knoxville finance director, is at work as

finance director for Blount County. He was confirmed by the Blount County Commission on March 22 and will report to Blount Mayor Ed Mitchell. His pay will be $82,798 which is considerably less than he made as city finance director when he worked for me. Vineyard has worked for the Knoxville Chamber the past eight years. Blount County is fortunate to have a person of his integrity, ability and dedication. He is a straight shooter and can walk them through difficult situations. ■ Politics can make strange alliances. Seems former mayoral candidate Mark Padgett, a committed Democrat, is arranging meetings in the Knoxville area for Weston Wamp, son of former Rep. Zach Wamp, who is opposing current Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in the August Republican primary. House Majority leader Eric Cantor will star at a fundraiser for Fleischmann later in April. ■ County Commission chair Mike Hammond is interested in becoming the next head of Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation without the excessive salary Gloria Ray received. If he gets the job will he continue on Commission or resign? If he resigns, who would Commission choose as its next chair?

think of when I got that call from (attorney Matthew) Grossman was ‘Damn. Lost a story.’ ... “Then it occurred to me that this is really a big win for the S-N and for Shannon, particularly. They were going to open right back up and we ran them out of there by putting pressure on the landlord. “I read what Chip Counts said to Grossman yesterday afternoon, and it caused him to call his client and read them the riot act. “Otherwise, that store would be right back in business, just like they bragged to Sandra that they would.” The store in question is within blocks of Central High School and less than a mile away from Halls High. It may pop up like a dandelion in another part of town, but this community newspaper helped run it off of Broadway. It’s what we do. And Bean made two new friends. She added: “Eric ‘Chip’ Counts is a very im-

pressive young prosecutor. Smart and straight shooting, has a sense of humor and returns his phone calls. Grossman’s not bad, either – he’s in Arthur Seymour’s firm and is easy to get hold of. Both are attractive guys. Chip is African-American. Matt has gorgeous hair. Turns out he and Counts went to law school together. “Nice to see some bright new faces in Knoxville’s legal community.” So there’s a peek behind the scenes at Shopper-News. By the way, Victor Ashe wrote last week that Lori Goerlich was in line to become Knoxville’s parks and greenways coordinator. On Friday, Mayor Madeline Rogero made it official. That’s a small scoop, but it counts. And on Thursday, Rogero announced that the trees we all wrote about a weekend ago will be replaced. Victor says plenty about those trees and TVA in general in this week’s paper. Enjoy the read.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • APRIL 2, 2012 • A-5

It’s time for leadership on schools funding By Sandra Clark The auditorium at Fulton High School got quiet when Knox County Commission chair Mike Hammond rose to speak. “I’m a bottom line kind of guy and here’s how it is,” he said. Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre had made his case for a $35 million boost to the KCS budget, over the usual cost-ofliving increase. He cited needs for instructional technology such as iPads and facility improvements, along with support for performance-based compensation. McIntyre wants fullday kindergarten (now classes dismiss at 1 p.m.

Does the community have the will to fund the $35 million? The wherewithal is there. Property taxes have not been raised since the mid-1990s, and Jim McIntyre has not received more than a continuation budget since he’s been here. The full $35 million increase would equal a 35cent property tax hike, or $131.25 per year on a $150,000 home. So let’s talk politics. County Mayor Tim Burchett has said he won’t recommend a property tax increase. Commissioner Amy Broyles, at last week’s meeting, said beware the red herrings used by those

while regular elementary school lets out at 2:45 p.m.) and to lengthen the school year by “at least five days” with a balanced calendar at Austin-East and Fulton. The new funding also would go toward intervention for kids falling behind and enrichment for those pulling ahead. He wants professional development funds for teachers and “consistently excellent magnet programs.” You may agree or disagree with McIntyre’s proposals, but you cannot say he’s not been totally clear about how he would spend the extra money. Details are on the KCS website at knoxschools.org/.

‘Trae Golden to the foul line’ Now that Bruce Pearl has expressed appreciation for the job Cuonzo Martin did and the worst cuts have scabbed over, may I have a couple of minutes for positives? Jeronne Maymon is a gladiator. Jarnell Stokes has awesome potential. Trae Golden can shoot free throws. A longtime fan who follows Tennessee basketball from afar was trying to guess how many times he heard Bob Kesling say “Trae Golden to the foul line.” Trae attempted 157 free throws this season. The fan smiled when he recalled Bert Bertelkamp

Bill Justus, Danny Schultz, Michael Brooks, even Carl Widseth. He remembers that they could hit free throws. So could Allan Houston and Chris Lofton and Tony White and Ernie Grunfeld. It seems to me that Trae approaches the foul line without fear of failure. His confidence comes from roots. He learned to shoot in the driveway with his father as tutor and motivator. “All you have to do is make 10 in a row, Trae, and we can go to dinner.” Robert Golden, school principal, natural leader, spent several years in

often adding “Money,” his colorful code word for count it, clutch points vital to the cause. The sophomore guard hit 130. The old fan said Golden’s marksmanship, near 83 percent, was almost enough to dust off memories of Jimmy England,

who won’t support more taxes. Knox County legislators alone cannot fix the BEP funding formula, and the ½ cent sales tax option would require cooperation by the city of Knoxville and the town of Farragut. “Either objection keeps politicians from having to take a stand,” Broyles said. “It will take six commissioners to fund this,” Hammond added. The school board will vote on McIntyre’s budget this week. It’s expected to pass, but its viability will be seen in whether it passes unanimously or wobbles through on a 6-3 or even 5-4 vote. Burchett will recommend something, a story for another day. But then, as Hammond said, “Once the mayor presents his budget it becomes our budget.” County Commission has the final say.

Hammond is key to whether six votes can be mustered. With his strong leadership, it is possible. Hammond, along with Sam McKenzie and Amy Broyles, need only three more votes for a majority. If you assume no help from Commissioners Brad Anders, Tony Norman and Jeff Ownby, that leaves five votes from which to draw three: Ed Shouse, Richard Briggs, R. Larry Smith, Mike Brown and Dave Wright. Board member Indya Kincannon said, “Mike Hammond is a leader for

schools who has taken time to visit schools. The single biggest factor when we say ‘taxes,’ is trust.” She urged principals and teachers to talk with individual commissioners about their needs. Hammond predicted a May vote by Commission, following budget hearings. That vote is a referendum on Jim McIntyre’s performance, and it’s hard to see how he stays here if his ideas are rejected. So it’s time to pick a side. It’s time for leaders to lead and chickens to hide.

that Powder Springs, Ga., driveway. The son developed the touch, the skill, the artistry. Tennessee is the beneficiary. He was so steady, he made news when he missed, as in three of five against UConn. Teammates just shook their heads. “When Trae Golden is missing free throws, it’s just that kind of day,” said Maymon. Most everybody was speechless when he missed four of 10 in the not-sogrand finale against Middle Tennessee State. In the thriller against Vanderbilt, Trae was eight for eight, f lawless in the closing seconds when the deal was sealed. He was nine for nine in the overtime win at LSU. He hit six

in the closing 20 seconds. We know free throws are often critical but simple stats can be misleading. There is no reference in the record book to degree of difficulty – conditions, score, level of competition, home or away, pressure, exhaustion, pain, final seconds with the game on the line. Clutch is the key word and that is what we remember about Jimmy England. In his three-year Volunteer career, 196871, he hit 88.1 percent, a school record, with the weight of the basketball world on his shoulders. Justus could do it when it mattered and he converted 84.9 percent for his three seasons. Brooks had the identical percentage. He could have gone

to dinner at the Golden house. He once made 39 free throws in a row. Thirty-nine straight? Schultz did it. He led the SEC in 1964 with 89.4 percent. Lofton and Houston had streaks of 38. I remember Lofton marching to the foul line, six seconds to go, and putting in a pair to polish off second-ranked Florida. That was expected. Not so likely were the four in a row by JP Prince to upset Kentucky or the six straight by Wayne Chism for an overtime victory over Ole Miss. As we said earlier, all free throws are not equal – but most of Golden’s are good.

A-6 • APRIL 2, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

The day the King came to Knoxville My all-time favorite story from Elvis’s first appearance in Knoxville is about a man who couldn’t keep his seat. Driving his wife, mother-inlaw and sister-in-law to Stokely Athletic Center to see the show, he kept saying, “Now, we can go over here and have a good time, but I want you girls not to get too carried away.” And the minute the band and orchestra went into the opening strains of “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” also used as the bombastic theme to the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the man was standing up in his chair, waving his hands and screaming like a little girl. Forty years ago, on April 8, 1972, the King came to Knoxville. Elvis was the headliner of that year’s Dogwood Arts Festival. Dave Macon, who was the treasurer for the Festival that year, said organizers wanted ’72 to be a big year for the still-new event. Who bigger, then, than The King of Rock and Roll? Macon says somebody on the board knew Elvis’s agent. The King would come for $50,000. “It sold out so quickly we decided to see if he’d do a matinee for us.” The King would, for another $50,000. “When he got here, I had a check for him for $100,000.” (Adjusted for inflation, that would be more than $500,000 in 2010 dollars. Not bad for two hours’ work.) Macon showed up at the Sheraton Campus Inn to give Elvis

his check. He says it was heavily guarded (security was said to be tighter than when Richard Nixon had attended the Billy Graham Crusade at Neyland Stadium two years before) and he was told he couldn’t go back to see EP. “I said, ‘If I don’t go in, he doesn’t get his money. It’s as simple as that.’ ” Macon showed security the check. He got to see Elvis. “I went in and we shook hands. He was extremely nice. There wasn’t any ‘I’m better than you’ or any of that.” Macon said the Dogwood Arts Festival also brought Arnold Palmer to town to play a round of golf. Arnie got $10,000. A bootleg audience recording of Elvis’s 2:30 p.m. matinee show at Stokely has finally surfaced. It made its broadcast debut on WDVX’s “The Vinyl Frontier” last August. And I’ll be honest: When I heard the opening strains of “2001” and the screams of the crowd, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. No wonder that guy couldn’t keep his seat. The excitement was palpable. While singing the Three Dog Night hit “Never Been to Spain,” Elvis changed the lyrics at one point to say, “So I headed for Las Vegas, but only made it out to Knoxville.” The roar was louder than the one “Rocky Top” usually gets at a UT game. There were a few flubs. At one point, somebody in the orchestra started playing an out-ofplace solo during “You Gave Me a Mountain.” And, during much

of the show, the feedback was atrocious. Former News Sentinel writer Lois Thomas, in her amusing review of the concert, said Elvis wasn’t too fond of the feedback. “The matinee performance was delayed for about 30 minutes because of the continuing difficulties experienced with the sound system at Stokely. “Those attending the matinee probably missed the full impact of the show because of the sound problems. The difficulty with the sound caused a large portion of the performance to appear sloppy because Elvis, his singers and the band members missed or couldn’t hear cues. “Elvis apologized for the sound problems several times. He opened the show by quipping, ‘Sorry I’m late, but I was building a sound system.’ ” But 1972 was Presley in his prime. Despite the sloppy sound, you can still hear the power of that voice as he belts out the ballads and rocks through the oldies. Merrill Ammons attended Elvis’s evening performance. (A recording is rumored to exist, but I’ve yet to find it.) Remembers Merrill: “On that evening, my friend Pat Egerton and I drove my parents to Stokely for the concert (they had parked a car for after the concert). Well, of course we decided to try to see Elvis. So we parked near the back door where the King would arrive. “M.L. (Davis, who worked at Cherokee Country Club for decades) was the driver that night

NOW OPEN

(he always drove celebrities in the ’70s). He got us right beside the car to see Elvis and then got us in the concert. It was an amazing evening!” Attendance for both shows was 24,288, the most of any of Elvis’s concerts on that spring tour. A couple of moments made it into the 1972 MGM documentary “Elvis on Tour,” which was being filmed that spring. The filmmakers shot Elvis arriving at Stokely (a girl takes a Polaroid photo and screams when she sees the shot) and one brief scene from inside (of the audience clapping for comedian Jackie Kahane) made it into the final film. Also, the scenes of Elvis’s band arriving at the airport were shot at McGhee-Tyson.

Who can explain Elvis Presley? Who can explain why the man in the audience that night, concerned about how the women were going to act, stood up on his seat at Stokely and started screaming? Who can explain why a guy born just after Elvis’ death can hear the King’s recorded voice 40 years later and get goose pimples? Dave Macon has the answer. “In my opinion, Elvis Presley probably had the best singing voice of any male I’ve ever heard.” Long live The King.

A forgetful God …this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. (Jeremiah 31: 33-34 NRSV) The older I get, the more my forgetfulness worries me. I tell myself that it is because I am too busy, torn in too many directions, too many things on my mind. My guess is that some of you can identify with the situation. Comedian Bill Cosby (who is somewhat older than I am) used to say that he was convinced that human memory circuits were located in one’s sitting apparatus. He would get up from his chair to get something, forget what he was after, and only when he sat down again could he remember. He deduced the obvious: one’s memory is in the derriere and is activated by pressure. Of course, one can always make lists, but then, one has to remember where the list is. You see the problem. On the other hand, I am grateful, beyond all measure, that God is forgetful, too. God promises to “remember their sin no more.” I first learned that snippet

of scripture where I learned so much of my theology: in the hymnal. It was the third verse of Fanny Crosby’s old hymn “Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet”: “He’ll forgive your transgressions/and remember them no more.” But it was Scott Peck (Christian psychiatrist and author of “The Road Less Traveled” and “People of the Lie”) who explained it best with this story: A young girl in the Philippines claimed to have visions of Jesus. She told her mother that Jesus came to her at night and talked to her. The girl’s mother was concerned and confused, so she took the girl to the village priest. He

talked to the daughter, trying to get to the bottom of this mystery: was the girl experiencing dreams, nightmares, a vivid imagination or was she an outright liar? The girl was steadfast: Jesus talked to her. The priest took the girl to the bishop, and she told him the same story. The bishop interviewed her then spoke briefly to the priest. The bishop said that the archbishop was planning a visit to the island and that they would take the girl to him and let him deal with this situation. Arrangements were made and the day of the archbishop’s visit came. The young girl was ushered into the archbishop’s presence. He questioned her about her visions: “Do you see Jesus? Do you talk to him? Does he talk to you?” All these questions she answered in the affirmative. The archbishop said to her, “I want you to go home, and the next time Jesus appears to you, ask him a question for me. Ask Jesus, ‘What did the archbishop confess the last time he went to Confession?’ Do you understand?” The girl nodded. A month later, the girl was brought back before the archbishop. “Well, child,” he said kindly, “did you ask Jesus what I told you to ask him?” Again, she nodded. “And what did he tell you? What sin did I confess?” The girl answered, “He forgot.”

Gibbs spring sports in full swing By Ruth White Gibbs High School spring sports are in full swing and there’s no better time to support athletes by packing the stands with fans. Every week offers many opportunities to support the Eagles on the baseball or softball fields, tennis courts, track or the soccer field. The baseball team hosted the Carter Hornets for action on the diamond at the first of the week. On Tuesday, the softball team took on Gatlinburg-Pittman for a double win in the doubleheader and the soccer team hosted Fulton. Thursday was once again jam-packed with athletes at the Gibbs campus as baseball, softball, tennis and track held events. Games coming up this week for the Eagle baseball team include Union County at home on Monday, April 2, and then on the road all week with Union County on Tuesday, April 3, and weekend tournament play in Oak Ridge against Oak Ridge High, William Blount, Morristown West and Cookeville. The team will return home Tuesday, April 10, against Austin-East at 5 p.m. for a doubleheader. The softball team will play at home Monday, April 2, hosting Carter and hosting Fulton on Tuesday, April 3. Both games begin at 6 p.m. The team will

travel to Pigeon Forge on Thursday, April 5, and will play in the Bob Jones Tournament in Huntsville over the weekend. They will return to their home field on Tuesday, April 10, and play Union County at 6 p.m. Next up on the soccer schedule, the team will travel to Union County on Tuesday, April 3, for a 6 p.m. match. They will host Heritage on Thursday, April 6, and host Grace Christian on Monday, April 9. Home games begin at 6:30 p.m.

Gibbs High’s Matt Worley scored three of the five goals against Fulton last week. Worley was selected as an All-State player last year and looks forward to a great season for the Eagles.

Dani Jefferson leads off second base during a doubleheader against Gatlinburg-Pittman last week at Gibbs. Jefferson went 3 for 4 in Game One and led the team on offense along with teammate Savannah Foster. In Game Two, Jefferson was the leading hitter going 3 for 3 with a triple.

Legend of the Dogwood Tree You are cordially invited to attend our 33rd annual

Easter Sunrise Service

When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew To a towering size with a lovely hue. It’s branches were strong and interwoven And for Christ’s cross its timbers were chosen.

Slender and twisted it shall always be, With cross shaped blossoms for all to see. Petals shall have bloodstains marked in brown, And in all the blossom centers a thorny crown.

Being distressed at the use of the wood Christ made a promise which still holds good. Not ever again shall the dogwood grow To be large enough for such a tree, and so,

All who see it shall think of me, Nailed to a cross from a dogwood tree. Protected and cherished the tree shall be A reflection to all of my agony. — Author Unknown

A-12 • APRIL 2, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS ever, according to Silver’s research, the community must have been named for the John Warwick who was in the area in the later 1700s. Silver’s great-greatgrandfather was Willis Warwick, or James Willis Warwick, who married Elizabeth Turner in Virginia. Elizabeth was born in 1786 and died in September of 1883. The Warwicks ran the local telephone exchange. John Perrington Warwick married Elizabeth Monroe. According to his granddaughter, the late Grace Ousley Hassell, they had five sons. After the sons were grown, he divided the farm among the five sons, giving each a farm. John and Elizabeth’s son, Elvin, was appointed postmaster at Warwick’s Crossroads, also known as Warwick Town, in 1886. Elvin and his son, Freeman, ran the general store. There was a church called Warwick’s Chapel or Warwick Meeting House that also housed a school. This was the forerunner of Hinds Creek Baptist Church. The earliest mention of this church was in 1804. There was also a Primitive Baptist Church.

There was a photography shop run by A.L. Sheckles. There is a big and wonderfully preserved spring on what was the Alec Warwick homeplace. It was a popular picnic and church reunion spot. This was later the homeplace of Luther and Nora Archer Harmon and remains in the Harmon family. The Warwicks had many business ventures in the area. Elvin’s son, Esco, was the local livestock dealer. At the most economically feasible time of year, he drove through Warwick Town and the surrounding area buying cattle and sold the cattle at a stockyard at Knoxville. Son William “Billy” moved to Fountain City and became a livestock dealer. Later, Freeman moved to Smithwood, where he dabbled in the livestock business. Delius “Dee,” Elvin’s son, later migrated to Oklahoma and then Florida; however, his family remained in Oklahoma. I have correspondence from his daughter, the late Velma Adair. Alec and Eliga “Lige” remained in Warwick Town their whole lives. Apparently, there were

Warwick Town TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters According to some notes which belonged to the late Bessie Warwick Silver, the Warwick family can be traced back to the Warwicks of Warwick Castle on the Avon River in England. The castle was built and held by the Earls of Warwick. She says Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, was killed by King Edward IV in 1471. I have not researched the Warwick family, but from what I’m reading, there is a gap from this time period until two Warwick brothers came to Hinds Creek in the late 1700s. This area later became a part of Union County. On Feb. 6, 1805, John Warwick purchased 100 acres on Hinds Creek in Anderson County from Stephen Lewis and then

purchased two more tracts (108 acres and 200 acres) in Grainger County from John Sallee. He lived on Hinds Creek near Wells Station. This area became known as Warwick’s Crossroads. According to War of 1812 Pension Records, John Warwick’s daughter, Nancy, was wed to George Turner by the Rev. Richard Newport in 1803. Certainly, one of the earliest settlements in Union County was at Warwick Town, a sleepy little village on Hinds Creek Road where it intersects with Shipley Ridge Road. Earlier accounts of this community credit the “town” as being named for John Perrington Warwick, born 1835, who owned a large tract of land there. How-

The students showcased their historical research, knowledge, and creativity through

two people by the name of Elvin Warwick. In Silver’s notes she mentions Calloway Warwick, born 1855, who she says is the father of Elvin Warwick, and that Elvin married Lily Grey, daughter of Jasper Grey. Elvin and Lily had a son, Marion Warwick. In the 1960s, Marion’s son, Artie, was living near Big Ridge Park. Calloway also had daughters, Louise Warwick Pike, and a daughter, Lottie Warwick Snodderly. Calloway also had a son, Gipp Warwick, who married Cora Grey, sister to Lily. You will note in the sketch drawn by Mar-

tha Atkins Carter from her recollection of Warwick Town that the “Cross Roads” was at the intersection of Hinds Creek Road and Shipley Ridge Road. Shipley Ridge Road is also a section of the old Jacksboro Road, which ran from Blaine’s Cross Roads to Jacksboro, Tenn. While I am grateful to have Silver’s and Hassell’s notes, the notes are difficult to follow, and my interpretation of some of this information may not be accurate.

Dogwood Arts Festival Student Art Show The best blooming art show in East Tennessee draws young artists By Pam Fansler With basketball season behind us and football season still months away, Knoxville is displaying its other favorite colors: pink, white and green. The Dogwood Arts Festival is in full bloom throughout the month of April. The festival kicks off with Dogwood After Dark, the successful Fansler arts-themed fundraiser, now in its fourth year. After that come the opening of the trails and art in public places, bus tours, the Market Square Art Fair, Rhythm and Blooms, the Dogwood Parade, the Dogwood Diva Luncheon and much more, including the Dogwood Arts Festival Student Art Show. The First Tennessee Foundation is a proud sponsor of the Student Art Show, which showcases the area’s best from students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade. Jim Dodson, chair for the event and an art teacher at Jefferson Middle School in Oak Ridge for 25 years, touts the age range as one of the unique aspects of the show. “Most exhibitions are for grades 6-12. We are one of the few that allows K-12. It’s a good opportunity for the elementary school art teachers.�

â– Gibbs High School Class of 1972 will hold its 40th Class Covered-Dish Reunion 5-9 p.m. Saturday, April 14, in the fellowship hall at Christ UMC, 7535

Local art teachers, each allowed to submit two works of art, submitted 98 entries this year. From these, the jurors have selected 77. Two stone carvers are the show’s judges: Lisa Wolff and Kathy Slocum, who is a former Dogwood Arts Festival board member. Because every work entered is framed by Fast Frame – another touch that makes this show unique – every student takes home a framed piece of art. Prizes, made possible through First Tennessee’s sponsorship, are awarded to the winners. The “Best of Show� is awarded $250 with that student’s teacher being awarded $100. The winner in each grade claims a $50 prize. There are also scholarship opportunities for 11-12th graders. The students’ works will be on exhibit from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 6-27 with no admission charge in the Denso Gallery at Clayton Center for the Arts in Maryville. According to Dodson, “the exhibit has been housed in different venues – all in Knoxville – over the years. The festival would like to make this more of a regional event.� The exhibit will open and the winners will be announced at a reception in the Denso Gallery 5-9 p.m. Friday, April 6. Kathy Hart Reilly’s group Hart Strings will perform as Dodson combines the visual arts and the performing arts. For a real treat, make time to visit the gallery and support these talented students. If you’ve not seen the show before, you will be amazed at the quality of the pieces. It never ceases to inspire me.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Colon scope screening puts woman’s mind at ease Since her father is a colon cancer survivor, Susanne Hauk of Knoxville knew she should be screened for this difficult disease younger than 50, the standard age recommended for the test. “He had colon cancer about eight years ago and had to undergo chemotherapy and all that. So when I turned 45, it was recommended that I have a colonoscopy because of the family history,” explains Hauk. So by the time she turned 46 in 2007, Hauk went to Dr. Mark Jackson of Knoxville Gastrointestinal Specialists for a colonoscopy. She followed up with another test in December of 2011, when she was 51. Both tests were conducted at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Both times the results were perfectly normal, which was a tremendous relief,” says Hauk. A colonoscopy is the gold-standard test for detecting colorectal cancer. Performed under light anesthesia, it involves inserting a small thin tube containing a tiny camera through the anus, rectum and colon, to view the inside of the large intestine. Any abnormal growths can be removed or biopsied by the scope as well. “To me it was really not a big deal,” says Hauk. “Getting ready for it is harder than the test itself, and even that was not

What is a colonoscopy? A colonoscopy is a procedure used to see inside the colon and rectum, the two main parts of the large intestine. The test can not only detect inflamed tissue, ulcers and abnormal growths, it can also remove them and prevent cancer. A colonoscopy can also diagnose unexplained changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, bleeding from the anus or weight loss. During colonoscopy, patients lie on their left side on an examination table. Under anesthesia, the doctor inserts a flexible tube containing a light and camera into the anus the through the rectum and colon. Carbon dioxide is used to expand the colon for a better view. The camera transmits pictures of the inside of the colon to a video screen for the doctor to view. If there are any small growths in the colon, called polyps, the doctor can use the scope to remove them. Polyps are often harmless but they can also be precancerous. So in addition to detecting colorectal cancer, a colonoscopy can, in many cases, prevent the disease before it even begins. For more information about the Fort Sanders Gastrointestinal Laboratory, call 865-673-FORT (3678) or visit fsregional.com.

Inside of colon

be completely emptied. The patient drinks about a quart of diarrhea-inducing medi-

cine within 24 hours before the test. In the last few years, better fluids have been developed for this, although drinking it is still not a treat. “It’s not horrible, but it’s not great tasting,” admits Hauk. After the preparation, the test itself is simple, Hauk says. “You just go in that morning and they sedate you, and you have no clue what’s going on,” she adds. “I think I was out of the hospital within an hour and a half. You’re a little groggy but within a few hours you’re perfectly fine. I was only out of work one day.” Hauk says she would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone needing a colonoscopy. “It was great. The nursing staff was great, very sweet. Everybody was nice and on time. The procedure is not uncomfortable, and by the next day I would never have known I’d had it. It’s easy and great peace of mind.” Hauk says she will continue to get a colonoscopy every five years because of her family history. “Whenever I have a sensitive stomach, in the back of your mind you wonder if something’s going on,” she said. “But the fact that I’ve stayed on top of my colonoscopy, I know everything is normal. I don’t have to worry about it.”

Advances in colonoscopy screening Colorectal cancer will cause about 51,690 American deaths during 2012, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. One in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer; however, more and more are surviving because of early detection. There are more than 1 million survivors of colorectal cancer in the United States. “Most of us know someone who’s been touched by this disease,” says Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “But it can be managed, treated and cured if found early.” The best tool for detecting colorectal cancer early is a test called a colonoscopy, a simple, inhospital test that allows a doctor to look inside a patient’s colon. The biggest hurdle of the test is getting ready for it – the colon must be completely cleared first. For about 24 hours before the test, the patient must drink clear liquids and a medicated fluid that causes diarrhea. “Well that’s the downside,” admits Dr. Jackson. “But there have been a lot of improvements in that area over the last decade. It used to be that folks would drink a gallon of fluid, but now it’s half that much. You drink two to three cups

at night, and two to three cups in the morning.” The procedure is very simple. While the patient is under anesthesia, a thin, flexible tube is inserted into the patient’s rectum and colon, to give the doctor a view inside. The procedure lasts only about 15 to 20 minutes, and afterward, people recover quickly after resting for a few minutes in the GI Lab. “Most people are pretty hungry and ready to go out for breakfast afterward,” says Dr. Jackson. Doctors recommend that most healthy people have their first colonoscopy at age 50 and every 10 years after that if the test is negative for polyps, which are small growths. These are often harmless, but sometimes they can be precancerous. The doctor will actually remove any polyps during the colonoscopy procedure. If a person has inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, breast cancer or a close family history of colon cancer, he or she would also need to have a colonoscopy at a younger age and more frequently, said Jackson. “That’s an important clue,” explains Dr. Jackson. “Sometimes if a family member in their 30s has colon cancer, we’ll screen the other family members when they’re 10 years younger.”

It’s recommend that most people have their first colonoscopy at age 50, and a follow up every 10 years.

Dr. Mark Jackson, Fort Sanders Gastroenterologist

The important thing is to get screened, Dr. Jackson adds. “The thing I’ve learned over the past 25 years is the importance of getting people past the fear and embarrassment of having to go through it,” says Dr. Jackson. “To the extent you get past that, it’s truly a great peace of mind. “Most patients who we’ve diagnosed with colon cancer have not had screening,” he says. “The more people we can get screened, the better it’s going to be. I hate when folks miss the opportunity to prevent this terrible disease.” For more information about the Fort Sanders Gastrointestinal Laboratory, call 865-673-FORT (3678).

Ruth White

This is a noncompetitive league, which means score is not kept and there are special rules to promote safety for all players. Women must be 55 years old and men must be 60 to participate. Special consideration is given for persons who are younger if that person

has a diagnosed handicap and can still play slow-pitch softball. The league consists of four teams: the Greyhounds, Young at Heart, the Cardinals and the Blue Sox.

Each Green Team member will play on one of the other four teams if he/she shows up on game days. In this league, everyone plays every game because the league is about promoting healthy exercise and fitness, fellowship and fun. After all teams are set, T-shirts paid for by sponsors are given to each team player and

Tricks to thwart thieves Protect your home By Anne Hart

C

riminals are getting smarter every day, and homeowners need to be even smarter to protect our property. The latest innovation in the criminal world? They’re stalking Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites for information about who will be on vacation when, or even who is going to be away from the house for just an hour or two. After all, breaking and entering and stealing take only a few minutes. People who know you may enjoy hearing all about your trip, and so will criminals who have learned to troll those sites specifically for that kind of information. Modern technology is providing ever-increasing methods of communicating. It’s also turning into a roadmap to disaster for unsuspecting homeowners. And there are other new

tricks of the trade for home invaders. A favorite pastime is cruising through neighborhoods the night before garbage collection, on the lookout for those large boxes we typically set out next to our garbage cans. You know – the boxes that tell the world about our new big screen TV or fancy computer system or other pricey items that came packed in them. With almost three million burglaries in this country every year, and with more than 65 percent of those occurring at residences, it has become more important than ever to keep your home and property protected, especially while you’re out of town on vacation. Statistically, a large percentage of home burglaries occur during the peak vacation months of July and August, but realistically, they happen all year round, and often around holidays. Christmas is an obvious target time for thieves, with most houses filled with gifts, but Easter, Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend and other times when homeowners frequently are away for a few days are also popular with

people who want what you have badly enough to steal it. We all know the obvious safety measures, like stopping delivery of mail and papers or asking a friend or neighbor to collect them for you daily, locking doors and windows, putting our lights on timers and setting the alarm system. Be sure to unplug your automatic garage door opener on your way out of town. Smart burglars know how to figure out the code and enter your home through the garage. Also, be sure to lock the door from your garage into your home. That’s another easy portal for thieves. It’s a good idea to turn the ringer on your home phone off or down very low when you are going to be out of town. A constantly ringing phone is a tip-off to a thief skulking outside your house that no one is at home to answer it. And never, ever, record your personal information on your answering machine’s outgoing message, as in: “I’ll be out of town until April 10,” etc. Make certain the key pad for your alarm system isn’t visible from a door or window. That makes it really convenient for a burglar peeking inside to see if

A watchful bunny keeps an eye on the Easter basket decorating the front door of a Knoxville home. These simple decorations can disguise the fact that the homeowners are away on spring holiday. Photo by A. Hart you armed the alarm. And never, ever, leave an extra key under your doormat, in a flower pot or above the door. Any one of those is the equivalent of hanging out a welcome

Keeping your house at its best, whether you’re selling or staying Stay ahead of home repair By Anne Hart

W

hether your plans for your house involve putting it on the market for sale or living in it for many years to come, there is one expert whose advice is invaluable: a licensed, professional home inspector. If you’re getting your property ready to sell, the home inspector will take an unbiased, clinical look at your house and tell you what you need to do to get it ready for the market. After you have taken care of those items you will have a great sales tool, because the

Ken Ledford, owner of Inspector Cluseau’s Residential/Commercial Inspection Service, examines roof shingles for a homeowner. Photo by Dusty Jameson property can then be marketed as ‘inspection done; all repairs made.’ There are few buyers who want to take on major problems with a new house, and knowing a professional inspection has already been done can put you way ahead of the competition.

If you’re staying in the home, the advice of a knowledgeable home inspector can not only tell you what repairs and/or replacements should be made to keep your home in top-notch condition, but can anticipate problems that might arise in the future, thus saving you real money, as

little problems in a home can quickly become big ones. A good example: that gutter you have been watching drip, drip for years is likely running down into your foundation and will eventually produce structural problems. And if the water is running into your crawl space or basement, you may end up with mold issues. Best to take care of these sorts of problems while they are relatively inexpensive to fix. Ken Ledford, owner of Inspector Cluseau’s Residential/Commercial Inspection Service, Inc., is known as the “Dean” of inspectors in this area. He has been in business for 20 years – longer than any inspector in this area – is fully licensed and has done more than 20,000 residential and commercial inspections. Ledford says items typically inspected in a home are

the foundation and exterior of the home, the roof and attic, chimney and fireplace, appliances, plumbing (including toilets, sinks, showers, tubs), electrical (including testing all outlets), heating and cooling units, the interior of the home throughout, sprinkler systems, grounds, walkways and driveways. Ledford has several longtime clients who call him every year to inspect their property. “These are homeowners and commercial clients who want to get ahead of any problems that may have arisen since the last inspection,” Ledford says. “For very little money, we can save owners a small fortune by showing them how to be proactive.” Any way you look at it, if you want to keep the value in your property, a professional home inspection just may be your best bet.

Color, color everywhere for the home By Anne Hart

N

o one seems quite certain whether the slowdown in the economy finally generated a pent-up demand for some pizzazz on the part of shoppers or if designers and marketers are the ones who created that demand first by grabbing our attention. Either way, this season the word for everything for the home – from carpet and wall color to furniture and accessories to dishes and pots and pans to bathtubs and linens to collars and food bowls for the family dog – is color, and the more of it the better. And not just any old tried-and-true pale or pastel or neutral shades will do. The color has to pop. As in Wow! Think of the loudest colors in that box of Crayolas, add a few shades of bright dazzle to them, and then, for good measure, maybe toss in a touch of neon and you’re getting there. We’re talking electric colors. Colors that grab your attention. Colors you can’t miss even if you try. They’re everywhere. And not just around the house. They’re showing up in everything from clothing to fingernail polish to automobiles. Red isn’t just red this year. It’s brilliant red. Greens are luminescent. Think of spring grass with the sun shining on it. Orange is a wild tangerine color. Blue is

intense cobalt. Turquoise is so incandescent it will nearly blind you. Fuchsia is equaled only by the most colorful azalea you have ever seen. And sunny yellow seems to shine brighter than it ever has in the noonday sky. And all the rules about what goes with what are history. Designers have thrown all that “matchy, matchy� business out the door and brought in lots of refreshing new ideas. Nowadays, it seems just about every color is being used with every other color. Furniture showrooms feature bright orange sofas and chairs with fuchsia throw pillows. Yellow chairs are matched with blue pillows or green pillows or red pillows. Stripes and plaids and florals, all in the new brilliant hues, are thrown together – seemingly without a thought about what “goes with� what. But don’t be fooled for a minute. Those marketing folks know exactly what they’re doing. Their bright colors spell hope and optimism and lift the spirit and make us want more of all that’s new in the world of wonderful, colorful things for our homes. And after all, you don’t have to change every little thing in your house. Try a bit of vivid new color with the old and see if it doesn’t hurl you headlong into spring.

Tips for making spring cleaning easy for the entire family As the snow begins to melt and flowers finally start blooming, spring is in the air. After being cooped up in the house for those long winter months, most families are undoubtedly ready for it. So when it comes to spring cleaning, it’s understandable you and your family want to clear all of the past year’s clutter and mess, without taking too much time away from enjoying fun springtime activities. And thankfully it’s possible to maintain a deep spring cleaning without spending more than a day’s time, as long as you stay organized. “Cleaning smart is the key to making your spring cleanup quick and efficient, not long and painstaking,” says Jelmar President Alison Gutterman. “Every- plan and using the right tools will one wants to enjoy the outdoors help your cleanup get done fast this time of year, so getting the and your home will look great.” whole family involved, making a When your clan is able to carve

Spring cleaning tips: Delegate: The entire family contributes to the mess over the year, which means the entire family should also help clean it up. Don’t try to take on a deep spring cleaning alone, enlist the troops and assign age-appropriate chores to everyone. Make a list: Before everyone commits to several hours of spring cleaning, do a quick walk-through of the house and take notes on exactly what needs cleaning up or needs to be tossed out. This makes prioritizing work a bit easier, and you’re sure to get everything that needs to be cleaned done. Supply suitably: Everyone has their ever-growing stash of cleaners in a closet or under the out one day to hold your spring sink, but having a multitude of cleaning initiative be sure to go in products just drags out your prepared to ensure total partici- projects, not to mention creates more clutter. Try some efpation and maximize success.

The guy’s guide to mulch As temperatures tem em mpe pera rattu ra ture ture ress reach reac re ach ac h 60 60 degrees, one off th manly rites degrees o ne o thee ma manl nlyy ri rite tes of spring, designed to impress the neighbors, is a fresh layer of mulch. But, did you know that it can also help prevent erosion and discourage weeds in the garden? Mulch is an invaluable ingredient to a successful growing season - so much more than shredded bark sprinkled around the base of an ornamental tree each spring. Get the facts on mulch to impress all the neighbors and have a great looking landscape to boot.

ents benefi ents commonly com ommo monl nlyy us used ed ffor or b enefi en eficccial iall ia mulching materials are: bark or wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, straw or hay, newspaper, pine needles, cocoa shells and compost. When selecting mulch, realize that not all mulches are the same. In the past, you may have laid mulch only to see it start to fade in a matter of weeks. This is a major frustration for gardeners. Scotts Nature Scapes Advanced with Color Guard technology retains its color for a full year backed by Scotts no-quibble guarantee.

What is mulch?

Where does it come from?

Just like the leaf layer found on a forest floor, mulch is a covering that can benefit both plants and soil. Consider the many different mulch types. Some contain leaves and bark that decompose, breaking down over time, while others are pebbles or shredded tires. The available varieties of materials are diverse and nearly limitless. The varieties of mulch that break down are beneficial to the nutritional make-up, or tilth, of soil. Ingredi-

From recycling last week’s newspapers or collecting grass clippings after mowing, to composting garden and kitchen waste, inexpensive mulch materials are readily available all around. The lumber and arborist industries often sell chipped wood products inexpensively. These wood chips tend to break down slowly and are sometimes used on garden paths

and walkways. Many gardeners prefer the look of the woodchip or bark mulches that are available through local garden centers. Read the labels to determine the contents or sourcing of mulches before purchasing. Whether these mulches are sold by the bag or by the truckload, these tend to be partially composted and add a great, finished appearance to the garden while breaking down over time to add organic matter to the soil.

Why do I need it? Leaves and bark mulch benefits run much deeper than beauty. ■ A mulch layer can moderate the soil temperature reducing the effects of extreme heat or cold. ■ Soil condition may be improved by the decomposing matter from mulch that provides plants with added nutrition. ■ Mulching a garden creates the ideal environment for earthworms and beneficial organisms. ■ If heavy rains or soil erosion is an issue, mulch can help reduce these effects. ■ Weeds will find it more difficult to grow in a mulched area, as the mulch helps to block weed growth and access to the sun.

How much do I need? It is easy to determine how much mulch you will need using the online mulch calculator from Scotts. Measure the bed size and the calculator does the rest. Then, when spreading high quality mulch, like Scotts Nature Scapes Advanced, take your favorite cold beverage, draw a line around the can about two to three inches from the bottom, and use it to spread mulch to the appropriate measured level.

When should I use mulch? Mulch can be applied anytime, but it is best to spread it out early in the growing season, before weeds

have had a chance to get established. Remove any existing weeds, and spread a two to three inch layer around landscaping plants, in the vegetable garden or along walkways. If recent rains have made the garden too muddy, mulch is also a great way to create a dry path through the muck and keep your feet from sliding around. A fresh mulch layer is extremely beneficial, and can make the garden and landscaping look awesome. The proper application of mulch demonstrates your expertise to your friends and neighbors, and helps create a naturally weedfree environment to maximize your garden’s growth.

Using the 5 senses to discover signs of spring with children From the moment a groundhog looks for his shadow in February, until the new baby bunnies, chicks and birds appear, the arrival of spring is marked with celebrations and excitement across the country. Spring fever usually sets in well before the warmer temperatures and green grasses return, making this the perfect time to start looking for signs of the coming spring season with kids. These signs return every year, so teach children to experience Mother Nature using the five senses: touch, taste, sight, smell and sounds.

Touch For colder regions, winter must leave before spring can arrive. Melting snow is one of the very first signs warmer weather is around the corner. Rising temperatures is a big change everyone can feel. The earth slowly warms, bringing plants to life anew. For a “hands-on” experience, gather spring garden elements. Soil, water, seeds and light all work together to help plants grow - the basics of photosynthesis. Even if it is still too cold for an outdoor garden, get kids garden-

ing indoors by planting a small tabletop garden. Miracle-Gro Kids has developed a series of small gardening kits for kids that make this process rewarding. Simply plant the garden, place it in a sunny area, water and watch for sprouts.

Taste Spring greens are some of the first tastes from the garden. Pot a “grown-up” table-top container garden or visit the first local farmers market selling home-grown ingredients for salads this spring. Maple syrup is another great taste of spring. The first maple tree sap flows right before the leaves appear, sometime between late February and early April. This is when maple sugar and maple syrup production is at its best. Celebrate by learning how to tap a tree or visit a sugar house. Kids will love seeing how much work goes into making the syrup they put on their pancakes, and might even get to sample maple candy or maple sugar for a delicious treat.

Sight In spring, flowers bloom, leaves bud, birds build nests and the backyard fills with life. One of the most obvious signs of spring’s arrival is the appearance of flowers. Even before the snow has melted, tiny crocuses can often be seen peeking out, making the statement that spring is, indeed, approaching. Make a scrapbook or photographic diary of which flowers are spotted first in your area. Flowers and blossoms are only part of the colorful sights. Many animals are returning from migration. Most people are not aware that earthworms migrate, so be on the lookout. Earthworms make one of the shortest annual migrations, coming above ground only when the earth begins

to thaw and the soil is ready for new root growth. Their appearance above ground is a gardener’s reminder that the ground is almost warm enough for planting. Animals and birds will then return to gobble up these tasty morsels as quick forms of protein. To further explore the underground world of gardening, try the Miracle-Gro Kids Root Viewer to let kids experience what goes on underground in spring before plants appear above ground. Children can watch as seeds germinate and roots grow right before their eyes.

Smell Spring brings soothing scents like lilacs, apple blossoms, hyacinth and daffodils. Sweet aromas turn a stroll through the garden into a delicacy for the nose. The smell of fresh, cool air wafting into an open window or the scent of laundry that’s been hung out to dry in the sun are some of the greatest moments of spring. And, of course, the pleasant smell of freshly cut grass after that first mowing of the year is a reminder of all the summer fun just around the corner.

Sounds In the spring, birds returning from long migrations are busy building nests, looking for food and laying eggs. Their singing and twittering are a welcomed signal that spring has truly arrived. Set up a bird feeder in the backyard or patio and take turns documenting which feathered friends visit most frequently. In addition to the birds, frogs are also making their spring appearance in many parts of the country, filling the night air with song. Listen for their high-pitched calls in the evenings, especially around wet areas like lakes and ponds. The signs of spring are popping up all around. Using your five senses to discover them will lead to hours of fun for the whole family. With a little luck, it may actually help make the time go a little faster and spring come a little sooner. – ARA

Time to grow for it: Homegrown on your own Who would have thought getting dirt under your fingernails would ever be considered one of the hottest trends going? According to Doug Jimerson, garden core director for Better Homes and Gardens, “growing your own fruits, veggies and herbs is something Americans are doing in record numbers this season.” “It’s cheaper to grow your own produce than buy it - one $3 tomato plant will yield pounds of produce all season long,” Jimerson says. “Plus, the produce you grow just tastes better than even your grocer’s best. And while it’s healthy to eat and grow your own, gardening is rapidly gaining popularity as a great way to get some exercise, relieve stress and spend healthful family bonding time.” Eating foods grown in your own backyard means you won’t be contributing to the carbon footprint left behind by the “food miles” it takes to bring imported produce to your local grocers - so you’re helping the environment, too. Growing vegetables is easier than you think. Plan it properly, and you can enjoy a healthy, homegrown harvest from the fruits of your labor - without having to spend hours tending it.

Gardening 101

Sunshine is sustenance - Vegetables need at least six hours of full sun per day. The easiest thing to do is to place your garden in full sunlight. Make sure it’s easily accessible for watering; if the garden is too far from your house it could get neglected. Check the last frost date in your region and wait until threat of frost has passed before you begin planting. No yard necessary - Gardening doesn’t require a lot of room - although if you have the space and time to go large, go for it! Many popular vegetables and herbs grow just fine in containers, making them a great option for those with limited space. For smaller yards, raised beds are an easy, low-maintenance option. If your garden is going right into the ground, just turn the earth with a shovel, toss out roots and rocks, mix in a soil amendment for healthy soil, and plant. Water relief - Water regularly, but avoid doing so during the heat of the day when evaporation will diminish the effec-

proved success. Fortunately, national purveyors like Bonnie Plants make it easy to find hardy, high-quality, regionally appropriate plants at your local garden retailers. Bonnie offers time-tested vegetable and herb favorites, as well as new varieties, in eco-friendly, biodegradable pots that not only reduce plastic waste in landfills, they reduce transplant shock. Simply tear off the bottom of the pot and set the whole thing - plant in pot - directly into the ground. Be sure to pay close attention to plant tags, they’re packed with facts and details to help you successfully grow your plants. Here are some favorites to consider for your garden: ■ Tomatoes - The most popular, mostgrown vegetable, tomatoes are always a best bet. Disease-resistant Bonnie Original is a hardy, flavorful addition to any backyard garden. For containers or small spots, try Sweet n’ Neat, a prolific plant that sets fruit in grape-like clusters. ■ Basil - The perfect complement to tomatoes, basil works well in gardens and containers. New Greek Columnar Basil is particularly bountiful, as it grows high, leafs out densely and rarely flowers. The flavor blends traditional basil with spicy overtones of cinnamon, allspice and cloves. ■ Bell peppers - Versatile, flavorful and nutritious, bell peppers are great raw snacks and make an awesome ingredient for a variety of cuisines. Harvest peppers when they’re green or red when the vitamin levels are higher. ■ Eggplant - Black Beauty is the quintessential eggplant with a deep purple, glossy skin and meaty texture, and thrives in hot weather. White-skinned varieties like Cloud Nine offer a sweeter, bitter-free flesh. ■ Mints - Easy-to-grow mints are available in traditional spearmint and peppermint and in more exotic flavors like Bonnie Plant’s new apple mint, orange mint and even chocolate mint, which has a flavor that tiveness of irrigation.

Small, quick repairs have a big impact on your home’s curb appeal - and value As the weather continues to warm, you might be thinking about some of the home improvement projects you put on the back burner during the winter. As you once again consult your to-do list, it’s the perfect time to think about a few small projects that can greatly enhance your home’s curb appeal. Where does a smart homeowner start? The answer: Begin with a few small projects that are guaranteed to greatly enhance your home’s curb appeal. Whether you’re preparing to sell your home, or are simply trying to protect your investment and make it easier on the eyes, there are a few common improvements that can give the exterior of your home a quick and easy facelift.

Start with the driveway Repaving or reconstructing your driveway entirely can be a time-consuming and expensive task, but for most homeowners, this can be avoided with some annual maintenance. If you

neglect your driveway, cracks can quickly grow into potholes, which can cause it to lose its aesthetic appeal and pose a safety concern. A few hours’ work each year can greatly extend the life of your driveway. Sakrete U.S. Cold Patch is a reliable option for every type of

driveway repair because it can be used during all seasons and has a much longer shelf life - up to five years - than most pothole repair products. Because it’s made without kerosene, there’s no odor or mess, yet it’s strong enough to win praise from road repair professionals and contractors alike.

“I use U.S. Cold Patch both on my driveway at home and out on the job,” says Chad Patrick, owner of Patrick Landscapes in Pennsylvania. “The ease of use, lack of foul odor, and non-gooey application make it the logical choice for all of our blacktop repair projects.” Using a product like U.S. Cold Patch is simple: You just sweep the area, pour in the patching mixture and roll over it with a car tire. However, it is important that you completely fill the affected area and tamp it well to prevent future damage during freezing and thawing. More information on repairing cracks and potholes can be found at www.uscoldpatch. com. In addition to maintaining your driveway, here are a few other projects that can greatly contribute to your home’s curb appeal: ■ Add some landscaping features along the edges of your driveway. This adds a point of distinction between the pavement

and your lawn, giving it a more inviting look. ■ Check your mailbox for winter wear. If it’s seen better days, consider replacing it. Otherwise landscaping around your mailbox can add extra appeal. If you live in a colder region, be sure to use resilient plants, as this area can take a beating from the snowplow. ■ While cleaning out your gutters is a necessary spring ritual, power washing the exterior of your home can add a little extra life to the look of your house, especially the front porch. ■ Replace your house number and worn hardware on the front door, and consider a fresh coat of high-gloss paint on the door in a classy color, such as black. ■ Early spring is an excellent time to trim trees and other vegetation before they begin to sprout leaves. It’s easier on your plants, and it’s easy to identify branches that need to be trimmed.
