Eldridge named pastor at Salem Baptist Eldridge did not attend church until he was 16 years old. “A lot of who I am is determined by that – the fact that I was not a church kid. As a 16-year-old, a friend invited me to church and began to share Christ with me. The flip side of that, the tell-tale, is that that was the first time I was hearing the Gospel. Here we live in the ‘Bible Belt’ and there’s only one person sharing the Gospel with me. Our initial effort (at Salem) will be for us to be outward with our faith instead of being content to settle with what we have inwardly.” Eldridge and his wife, Dale, will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary later this year. They have two children: Abigail, 9, and Daniel, 4. Dale and the children will stay in Henderson until the end of the school year. Salem Baptist Church is located at 8201 Hill Road.

By Jake Mabe The Rev. Michael Eldridge has been named pastor of Salem Baptist Church in Halls. He preached his first sermon as pastor April 3. Originally from Tullahoma, Tenn., Eldridge comes to Halls from Henderson, Ky., where he served as pastor of Immanuel Baptist Temple. He also pastored churches in Alabama from 1999 to 2006. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from UT before entering Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, Ky.), in 1996. While in college, he attended Central Baptist Church of Fountain City for about a year. “I didn’t have any prior knowledge about Salem,” Eldridge says. “I knew about Halls because of my time in college but never had spent any time here.” John Hill, who chaired Salem’s search committee, says Eldridge’s resume “kept coming to the top” among the 340 resumes the committee considered. “And, as it turns out, Steve Cash (a member of the church’s search committee) and I have a friendship from a prior church,” Eldridge says.

Jason Jeansonne’s 62-mile round trip commute from Halls to work at Oak Ridge each day is not the usual stop and go car ride down the highway. This commuter’s vehicle is a racing bike, and he sometimes breezes along at speeds of 30 to 40 mph. The competitive cycling enthusiast rises at 3:50 a.m. each day to train and stay in shape for his weekend races. He’s been in training for 10 years. “I’m an all or nothing kind of guy,” Jeansonne said. “I certainly do not have as much talent. … I have tenacity.” The 38-year-old engineer at Oak Ridge’s Pro2Serve is modest. Since he started cycling and racing in 2001, he has progressed to a level just below that of a professional without a contract. Jeansonne races with the FGS Elite Cycling Team. He has sponsors that include the Friends of the Great Smoky Mountains, Harper’s Bike Shop and Rudy Project, which outfit him for races. His wife, Carmen, and 5-year-old son, Nathan, are also supportive. “When you’re doing 15,000 miles a year, the bike is always with you,” Jeansonne said. “It’s an ever-present factor in planning. (Carmen is) very patient in that respect.” Jeansonne has maintained his

Bo Shafer charms the crowd at the Northside Kiwanis Club’s meeting at The Foundry last week. Photo by Jake Mabe Casey Hill of Spine and Sport in Fountain City with Todd Howard and his mother, Midge, who installed the new protein duck feeders at Fountain City Lake. Hill gave eight to 10 non-native, domestic ducks from the lake a new home at his family’s farm in West Tennessee.

From resolution to irresolution Despair taxpayers, because the forces of darkness have prevailed – at least for now. Knox County Law Director Joe Jarret has backed away from his opinion that County Commission can exercise oversight of the fee office budgets. Jarret said he relied upon CTAS, the County Technical Assistance Service, to vet his initial opinion. CTAS is part of UT’s Institute for Public Service and presumably above political territorial disputes. In a memo to County Commission, Jarret wrote that CTAS’ legal consultant told him that although there had been no litigation on the issue in more than 20 years, additional research indicated the state Legislature intended to leave Knox County and four others on the salary suit system. In other words, “no go, Joe.” Trustee John Duncan, County Clerk Foster Arnett and Clerk of Circuit Courts Cathy Quist had already announced their willingness to submit their budgets to commission and mayoral scrutiny. By an odd coincidence, Jarret’s CTAS legal consultant shares her surname with Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey, whose reaction to the idea of having her budget eyeballed by commission or the mayor was less than restrained. Unless someone comes forth with evidence that the McCroskeys in this drama are blood relatives, there are no grounds for questioning CTAS’ integrity. And the blame for this fiasco ultimately lands on the desk of Jarret, who may have relied too much on another agency’s opinion. So the fight for transparency in all Knox County government operations will have to be waged at the state level according to CTAS and Jarret. So be it. There will never be a better opportunity than this for our local state legislators to get behind some meaningful change in Tennessee law. And if any of our readers can give me one sensible reason why an elected official would want to operate in secret, please pass it along.

Domestic ducks find new home Tennessee Izaak Walton League executive director Mark Campen reports that eight to 10 domestic, nonnative ducks have been removed from Fountain City Lake as part of the ongoing waterfowl management/ beautification project.

Jake Mabe Casey Hill, who works at Spine and Sport in Fountain City, agreed to give the ducks a new home at his family’s farm in West Tennessee. “I am told at their new home many are sitting on eggs already!” Campen says. Native waterfowl are protected by law and cannot be removed. “The plan is working as folks are using the more appropriate protein-rich feed. A revenue sharing check has already been cut to the Fountain City Lions Club.” Duck feeders containing protein pellets were installed by Todd Howard and his mother, Midge, in February. Profits are shared with the Fountain City Lions, which upkeeps the lake and Fountain City Park. Campen and the Izaak Walton League, the Fountain City Lions Club and CAC AmeriCorps are planning a work day 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, to perform a stream assessment and Non-Native, Invasive (NNI) plant removal from the area around and next to the Fountain City Spring head in Fountain City Park. For more information, contact Campen at 414-5593.

A time capsule that was buried at Halls Elementary School in 1986 will be opened at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 21, principal Chris Henderson reports. Former students who participated in the burial are especially invited.

How Bo Shafer found a smile in a spider bite Bo Shafer told the Northside Kiwanis Club last week that his daily goal is to make everybody grin. “That’s why I give out bubble gum,” he said, throwing some across the room at The Foundry. Shafer says it usually works, smiles being contagious and all, but he had to think quickly the other day when he ran into a woman who told him she didn’t have a good day off at all because she had been bitten by a spider. Bo said to her, “Boy, I bet that’s the best bite that spider got all day!” Sure enough, a big ol’ smile spread across the woman’s face. Bo says that complaining is a “stupid habit” and that any-

body who lives in the United States has no reason to gripe. “When people ask me ‘how ya doin,’ I reply, “I’m so blessed it borders on ridiculous.” Shafer says he learned three things when his wife, Mary, died of complications from breast cancer in October 2009. One: “Don’t sweat the small stuff – and it’s all small stuff.” Two: “Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.” Three (pointing to the sky): “The main thing is to keep the Main Thing the main thing.” He says he’s already figured out what God’s going to tell him when he gets to heaven. “Bo, you’ve got two weeks to gain 20 pounds!”

Halls cyclist motivates self and others College, Jeansonne was 50 pounds overweight. He said he has a college professor to thank for showing him the way to a healthy lifestyle. He remembers a “skinny, 50-something, sarcastic” calculus professor named Bill Kemp who was a runner when he wasn’t a teacher. Kemp convinced his student to get into shape. “One day he said to me ‘Jason, you’re kind of fat,’ ”

From page A-1

Jeansonne said. “I said to him ‘Bill, you’re kind of honest.’ ” Kemp advised Jeansonne to run-walk 30 minutes a day and even gave him a pair of running shoes. “At first I ran one telephone pole and walked two,” Jeansonne said. “After a month I could pseudo-run for 30 minutes.” Jeansonne lost 50 pounds. He started rock

climbing and gained interest in physical activities. He beams when he talks about what his professor did for him. He said he watched Kemp touch the lives of countless others. And, in turn, Jeansonne is glad to inspire others. “When I go back to Jackson, that’s a source of pride,” he said. “I told (Kemp) you affected so many people. And through those tendrils I have helped, and it’s expanded.”

government Rafting the rapids with Ned The day after Ned McWherter died, the Newport Plain Talk ran a picture of him standing on the bank of the Pigeon River smiling into the camera. The shallows behind him were clear down to the rocky bottom.

Betty Bean Athough the deeper water looked a little milky, the river was still a sharp contrast to the dark, stinking stream he’d rafted in 1988 when he was trying to figure out what to do about the Champion Paper Company, which had used the Pigeon as its private sewer for more than 80 years. The picture was taken last September when he came to Cocke County campaigning for his son Mike, the Democratic nominee for governor. The slimmed-down 79-year-old Ned looked every bit the elder statesman in his monogrammed dress shirt and striped tie – another sharp contrast to 1988, when he was a strapping, tobacco chomping Hoss Cartwright lookalike of a governor who bestrode Tennessee like his personal Ponderosa. Set up by McWherter’s sagacious aide-de-camp Billy Stair, the 1988 rafting trip was kept on the down low, with only two reporters – a guy from the News Sentinel and me from the Journal – invited to attend (along with photographers). The issue at hand was Champion’s discharge permit, which was set to expire and needed the Tennessee governor’s approval for renewal. North Carolinians appealed to his business sense and talked about the thousands of jobs that would be lost. Cocke countians talked about cancer rates, dioxin and poison fish. Since the mill and jobs were in North Carolina and the bad water and cancer in Tennessee, the decision seemed like a no-brainer. But Ned, a Blue Dog Dem-

ocrat before the name was invented, had been swayed by the Carolina economic arguments. That changed, however, when he rode the Pigeon’s brown rapids. The trip started up above the plant where the water was pristine enough to comply with North Carolina’s strict water quality standards. Then the governor got in a canoe and was paddled through the stretch of stream that got sucked up clean and spit out dirty by the mill. Security guards came out and demanded to know what he was doing in Champion’s river. Below the plant, the entourage piled into rafts. The guides couldn’t find a safety helmet to fit Ned’s big noggin, but we rode the river down to the state line and debarked at Hartford, where Ned stood on the bank and spat a brown stream into the Pigeon. “Look at that. The tobacco juice and the water are the same damn color,” he said. “They keep the water clean for their people, then dirty it up and turn it loose on us.” A few weeks later he turned the permit down, igniting a war of words between the two states – the North Carolina Legislature went so far as to consider banning Jack Daniels. The caption under the Plain Talk’s picture reads: “During his tenure as governor, McWherter fought diligently for the river’s clean-up.”

Tony Norman is the Devil (and he hates nature, too) Satire Alert! Knox County Commissioner Tony Norman’s calm, unassuming demeanor has fooled lots of people. But his diabolical scheme to deprive property owners of their rights under the guise of what he piously calls “only a plan” has unmasked him for who he really is. Norman was co-chair of the Joint City/County Task Force on Ridge, Slope and Hillside Development and Protection. Never mind that the task force included foresters, engineers, Realtors, developers and neighborhood advocates, Norman was the driving force behind the nefarious plan now being considered by County Commission. How do we know this? That fount of knowledge, the medium that never lies, the blessed Internet, tells us so. Consider these remarks culled from Internet discussion forums: Norman “tried to limit public debate,” stated “there was no room for compromise” and “demanded” a 60-day delay because he feared not having enough votes on commission for the plan to pass. He helped MPC spend “nearly $400,000” to develop “his plan.” He says the opposition is spreading “false and misleading information.” And those are only the comments suitable for a

family publication. Hold on, you say. Maybe you’ve known Norman for years and can’t believe he would stoop to such methods just to get his way. If you remain unconvinced that Norman is Beelzebub, take a closer look at the photo above of a hillside not far from the Pellissippi State campus. Note the deep, raincarved depressions on that beautifully barren slope. Stop for a moment and appreciate the breathtaking grandeur of that Tennessee orange clay, its beauty unmarred by trees, grass or even stumps. (It’s only a coincidence that a Rural/Metro ambulance is pictured in the lower right corner of the frame. When was the last time a hillside collapsed around here?) Tony Norman would deprive you of vistas such as this one that God and bulldozer intended for you to enjoy. That a man with such obvious hatred for nature came to occupy a seat on the Knox County Commission is a crime. If that isn’t enough, Norman seems possessed by the

twisted belief that individualistic, proud Americans are part of a community of shared interests, that there is a social compact of benefit to us all. Hippie. Just remember that you can’t spell “communist” without “commun” and you’ll understand where such radical notions come from. We all know the Devil has powers to persuade. Norman has demonstrated those powers by gaining endorsement for his plan from neighborhood and homeowners associations. Has he cast his spell on you, neighbor? Repent, before it’s too late!

Memories of Ned McWherter Ned McWherter and I were first elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives the same day in 1968. I was 23 and he was 37. To look at us then was to see two persons who had little in common besides membership in the 99-member House, but in later years we forged a close friendship. 1968 was the year the Tennessee House got its first Republican speaker in more than 80 years, Bill Jenkins of Rogersville. I was a young, energetic Ivy League-educated Republican anxious to challenge the one party system which dominated Tennessee. I was joined by Dick Krieg and Charlie Howell of Nashville. We got headlines but experienced little success. Two years later, McWherter chaired the House Democratic Caucus, and in 1972 he ousted Jim McKinney as House speaker and the McWherter era began in earnest. It continued until he left the governor’s office in 1994. In those early days, McWherter and I were

Victor Ashe

often on opposite sides, but I learned how to lose from him as he had the power. While a partisan when he needed to be, he always placed Tennessee first. He worked with Lamar Alexander to see Alexander’s Better Schools and Better Roads programs enacted. He reappointed Jim Haslam to the UT Board of Trustees despite some Democratic grumbling. He was a Tennessean first. In 1983, he was one of three governors or governors-to-be to attend Joan’s and my wedding in Knoxville. The other two were Lamar Alexander and George W. Bush. He always asked about my mother whenever we met. McWherter spoke at my 1993 inaugural as mayor, attended a 1999 mayoral fundraiser at the L&N sta-

tion and gave $1,000, and joined Howard Baker in speaking to the executive committee dinner of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1994 which I hosted in Knoxville. We were friends and allies. When I was elected mayor in 1987, he was governor and I called upon him within a week. He pledged to assist the mayor of our third largest city, and he kept his word. Everyone who uses Lakeshore Park should say “thank you” to Ned McWherter for making it happen. In 1990, when I approached him about transferring part of the land of Lakeshore Mental Health Institute to the city for recreational purposes, there were groups within state government with different plans. Veterans wanted a portion of it for their cemetery. Mental health advocates wanted the land sold at auction with the proceeds (which would have been high) going to mental health programs. McWherter’s finance department fa-

Call

vored its sale. McWherter told me if I could work out a solution for the veterans he would handle and approve the rest. We worked with veterans on the cemetery, and the park was created and is now 20 years old. It is one of the most popular parks in our city and used by thousands. McWherter believed in doing the right thing. In 1992 he flew over to Knoxville to greet then-President Bush who had just survived the New Hampshire GOP primary. McWherter was supporting an Arkansas governor for president that year. While Bush was on a political trip, McWherter felt the governor should always be there to greet the President of the United States regardless of politics. And he honored that belief every time a president came to Tennessee. Too bad there are not more politicians like Ned McWherter and Howard Baker. Tennessee is better for both of them, and they represent the best of both parties.

ed that Dave Wright might well be the only “no” vote. Too bad, Amy. Seems Law Director Joe Jarret didn’t quite get his opinion right; and County Mayor Tim Burchett, who supported the resolution and had the votes in March, has lost them for April after Jarret reversed himself. Had the commission passed Dr. Richard Briggs’ resolution in March, the burden of overturning it would have fallen on a couple of elected officials who might well have blinked. Now the resolution is dead and the proponents (including me) are smoked out. It’s the worst of all worlds. The Battle of Little Bighorn comes to mind. General Burchett left the field wounded and some of his soldiers are dead.

Jenkins and Halls High School is inviting all Knox County employees and friends to a retirement celebration for Jenkins in the Halls High School commons area (the main entrance to Halls High School), 2-5 p.m. Monday, April 25.

From Ritta he went to Karns High School and then to Halls High School in 1970. In 1972 he returned to Karns High School as an administrator. From 1976 to 2001 he served as the administrator for Byington-Solway Vocational Center. Since 2001, Jenkins has served as assistant principal of Halls High School, overseeing the North Knox Career and Technical Center, located on the Halls High campus.

To Crown or Not To Crown : Crowns are expensive so why should I get one if my teeth are not hurting and I don’t think I’m having problems? : A crown can help prevent further damage to your tooth that require more costly repairs. The need for a crown can be caused by a variety of factors such as cracks or stress lines in a person’s tooth resulting from unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth while sleeping. Silver fillings can break down and wear away which may necessitate doing a new filling or crown to prevent difficulties such as pain, a tooth breaking and having to be extracted instead of saved, or a tooth breaking down and causing nerve damage. Crowns are custom-made to match your original teeth for a natural smile, and our goal is to provide solutions that optimize your dental health.

Broadway, Suite 8 (next to Panera Bread) in Fountain City, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, as part of the store’s Customer Appreciation Day.

A jewel of a hobby PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

Mother and daughter teachers make, sell jewelry

t all started when Mary Jane Harned got the idea to make plastic earrings and fashion bracelets. Then, she says, “I got brave and started investing in sterling silver and crystal.” Her daughter, Elizabeth Lynch, helped. Mary Jane has taught math at Robertsville Middle School in Oak Ridge for 39 years. Elizabeth has taught art at Halls High for six. Jewelry making is a sideline, a hobby. But, it’s threatening to grow into a full-fledged business.

They go together to buy beads at gem and mineral shows, both locally and regionally, traveling sometimes as far as Atlanta. “My den hasn’t been the same since!” Mary Jane says. “I started making so much stuff, I thought, ‘I gotta find a place to sell this.’ ” They started selling their stuff at craft shows. Then Elizabeth asked Jodi Bowlin if she and Mary Jane could sell their jewels at Jodi’s store, Knoxville Soap, Candle and Gifts, in Fountain City.

Jodi gave them a little table. Then she gave them a glass display case in the back of the store. By January, Jodi decided to move the case to the front. “My selling point to customers is that it’s one-of-a-kind, it’s local and it’s exclusive to the store,” Jodi says. “They can see the craftsmanship. Ninety percent of my customers are women. And they’re buying for themselves or their daughters or granddaughters. And when they find out that the jewelry is made

by a mother and daughter who are local schoolteachers ... they’ve got quite a local fan club,” she says, pointing to Mary Jane and Elizabeth. “A lot of my customers want to meet them in person.” The fans will have their chance 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, when Mary Jane and Elizabeth will be selling their jewelry during an in-store Customer Appreciation Day event. For Mary Jane and Elizabeth, the jewelry making is the exciting part. “There’s a whole lot more to it than stringing beads on a necklace,” Mary Jane says. The duo brings the one-two punch of Mary Jane’s analytical mind and Elizabeth’s artful creativity to their work. “You have to think about quality, color choices, patterns, larger beads and smaller beads, and how they go together,” Elizabeth says. “The quality of the design work,” Jodi says. “My customers can see that.” Elizabeth took a class to learn how to make lampwork beads (glass beads using a torch). They also make dichroic glass pendants and miniature artwork earrings, recycled Scrabble tiles that are turned into pendants, featuring art images covered in resin. Mother and daughter wouldn’t

We – all of us – spend so much of our time dealing with each other on the surface, living in the superficial. We don’t want to intrude, are embarrassed by openness, are reluctant to be honest, are fearful of knowing – really knowing – each other. And yet, I personally have experienced the relief of telling the truth. Of acknowledging what my heart knows to be true, and what my brain has shied away from. Of being able to say out loud the unsayable. It is one of the few gifts we can give one another: the moment in which the truth can be spoken and heard, and the world still goes on turning. The walls don’t collapse; the hearer doesn’t recoil in horror; the speaker does not disappear in a puff of smoke. In such a moment, when the masks have fallen, all we have is prayer. And so I prayed, then offered my friend the sure and certain knowledge that the prayers continue to ascend, and the candle burns on.

admit it at first, but Jodi says they even have a friendly competition going now to see who can sell the most stuff. “It’s very addictive,” Mary Jane says. “If you’re going to have an addiction, this is it. It’s fun.” “And it’s a gratification,” Elizabeth adds, “to learn that people like our things. And we get money that we put back into our art.” It’s gone over like gangbusters at Jodi’s store. “I’m almost selling as much jewelry as I am soap,” Jodi says. Jodi bought the store from its original owners about two and a half years ago. She used to be a manager. She’s converted the stock into about “80 percent local” merchandise created by more than 40 local artists. She says she’ll even close the store for no booking fee if a business is interested in holding a private shopping party for employees. Elizabeth’s artwork also decorates the store’s walls. Yes, it’s for sale. Mary Jane says it’s been a great relationship. “She (Jodi) trusts us to provide quality merchandise and we trust her to be honest about our sales.” “I won’t allow other people to put jewelry in here,” Jodi says. Which makes it doubly unique. “Seldom do I make anything twice,” Mary Jane says. “We do it because it’s fun,” Elizabeth adds. “We don’t do it because it’s a job or a task.” Mary Jane says she starts getting excited the moment she buys beads. “’Cause it’s fun to create and see how it’s going to turn out.” Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or email JakeMabe1@ aol.com.

Go with Zo TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

his is no more than a skimpy, unofficial survey but Tennessee basketball fans, an emotional lot, sometimes say what they think. Some are moderately excited. Some are skeptical. Some admit to being confused. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have percentages. One said she had never, ever heard of Cuonzo Martin until athletic director Mike Hamilton presented him as the perfect fit to lead the Volunteers out of the wilderness. She was encouraged that Hamilton said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will win here.â&#x20AC;? Another, not very nice, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe a word Mike said, that he used the same sales rhetoric when he announced Lane Kiffin. Ouch. One praised Hamilton,

saying he expected worse. Another doubted that Mike had much to do with the choice. The chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career is also at risk. Some fans, still convinced Tennessee is an elite destination, really did want a famous name. No doubt they were disappointed Coach K decided to remain at Duke. The Butler coach sent word that he has a better job but thanks for asking. The agent for the young guy at Virginia Commonwealth said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coming but was interested in knowing exactly how much UT has in the vault. Two big-city gentlemen turned us down, noting that Knoxville lacks a west-tomidtown subway system. Some coaches feel we were fortunate to fill the job, con-

sidering NCAA blockades and the previous show. Martin is no Bruce Pearl. He made a so-so first impression at his introductory press conference. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say much but he said it sincerely. He sounded as if he really wants to coach at Tennessee. Me too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a million-dollar raise. I do believe my math is correct, from $300,000 at Missouri State to $1.3 million in Big Orange Country with more perks and built-in bonuses for doing what he is supposed to do. Shrewd move on Zoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. Fewer tornadoes. Larger playhouse. More ESPN splash for whipping up on Kentucky and Florida instead of Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois.

A real American hero

The life and times of Cary F. Spence

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

he many fans of Ron Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books will be pleased to learn that he has recently released a revised and enlarged edition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knox-stalgia,â&#x20AC;? originally published in 1999, and a unique new book, a compilation of historic events in Knoxville and Knox County in the 1890s titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knoxville, Tennessee in the Gay Nineties.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gay â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90sâ&#x20AC;? book resulted from a lengthy search of the microfilm of local newspapers from that decade and contains excerpts from the papers in chronological order. There were many surprises among the entries that will find their way into future columns, but most intriguing were the numerous references to a young Cary F. Spence, who would become a World War I colonel and war hero and prominent locally in business and public service. In 1890, Spence captained the Knoxville Reds, a professional baseball team hopeful of securing a spot in the Southern League. He led the team with his .277 batting average that season. In November, Spence was awarded a $25 gold piece when he won a challenge 100-yard dash at Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Track in South Knoxville, with a time of 10.0 seconds. By January 1891, it was announced that Cary Spence would be a member of the

Cary F. Spence (1869-1943). Col. (later Gen.) Spence commanded the heroic 117th Infantry Regiment during World War I. The 117th was among the first units to penetrate the seemingly impenetrable Hindenberg Line in October 1918. Photo courtesy Lawson McGhee Library

new Knoxville football team, which would play Maryville in Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first organized football game; but the game was postponed. Then, on May 15 of that year, speedster Spence starred in the rescheduled game at Lake Ottosee (later Chilhowee Park). In September, Spence competed in Washington, D.C., in the games of the Columbian Athletic Club and won all four of the contests he entered: the 100-, 200and 220-yard dashes and the running broad jump. In the fall of 1891, Spence was a halfback on the inaugural University of Tennessee football team when it played Sewanee. Soon thereafter, the Knoxville Athletic Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team played Harriman and Spence played halfback on that team, too. Obviously, the rules for participation in college sports were still being written. In 1893, Spence entered

the competition at the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair in Chicago and finished second in the 220yard dash, almost winning the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship. Toward the end of the 1890s, Spence was named coach of the University of Tennessee baseball team. In October 1899, he played on the Knoxville team in the first organized golf competition between the Knoxville and Chattanooga Golf clubs. Cary Fletcher Spence was born in Knoxville on Jan. 21, 1869, the son of Dr. John Fletcher and Elizabeth (Cary) Spence. He began his education at the old Bell House School, attended the University of Tennessee and graduated from Grant University in 1890. After graduation he became affiliated with the Knoxville Building and Loan Co. and then with the Greer Manufacturing Co., where he became a vice president. Due to Spenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service in

when chosen minority coach of the year. I checked to see who he beat. Maybe next time he can be plain, all-purpose coach of the year from the full pool. Fans have sped past me in serious research. They say Martin is a disciplinarian. Players are to be two minutes early for meetings, no cocky caps turned backwards at inappropriate times, no middle-school low-slung pants with belts dangling and bottoms dragging in the dirt. Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard a word about tattoos or loud rap. I suppose some stuff is here to stay. Martin is said to be an excellent recruiter, determined and believable. He certainly helped as a Purdue assistant. None of his signees at Mo State have made All-Conference. His main man was leftover Kyle Weems from the Barry Hinson administration. Recruiting connections? Could be Martin and his aides are geographically challenged. They are all Midwest. The SEC is the world. Martin says Vols who play will defend. I am told his prethe National Guard, President William McKinley appointed him as a first lieutenant and regimental adjutant of the 6th Volunteer infantry in 1898 at the beginning of the Spanish-American war. During his service in Puerto Rico he was promoted to captain in the 3rd Tennessee Infantry. After the war, he continued his service in the National Guard and his career in business, interrupted only when he was appointed Knoxville postmaster by President William Howard Taft, serving from 1911 to 1914. When the war with Mexico threatened in 1916, thenCol. Spence recruited his regiment to full strength and led it to the Mexican border where the regiment served for almost a year on guard duty. Soon after the Declaration of War with Germany on April 6, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson called up the National Guard units and the state regiment entered federal service as the 117th Infantry, 30th Division, 59th Brigade. The regiment left Knoxville for training at Camp Sevier, S.C., in September 1917. The 2000-soldier regiment departed New York on transport ships May 10, 1918, and landed 10 days later at Liverpool, England. Col. Spence commanded the regiment through all the fighting in Belgium and the attack on the Hindenberg Line. The horrendous Sept. 29 attack near Bellicourt resulted in casualties of 26 officers and 366 soldiers of the 117th. They captured seven German field pieces, 29 machine guns, seven anti-tank rifles and 592 prisoners that day. Subsequent attacks in the same sector on Oct. 7-9, cost an additional 34 officers

vious team was 161st in defensive efficiency, 241 at defensive rebounding and 298 at forcing turnovers. Hmm. The Bears were better offensively. They did not play at break-neck speed and did take care of the ball. They were far ahead of the Vols at shooting 3-pointers and free throws. Most were. Choosing Cuonzo stirred surprise but the decision was not illogical. I do believe he has a chance to succeed. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. Following the feature act at the circus, be it the fancy juggler, daring high-wire artist or classic clown, is a daunting task. The audience expects so much. The Tennessee audience has been clapping for most of six seasons. It caught the fever, shared the excitement and jumped from the edge of the seats to award standing ovations. Faithful fans always believed true greatness was just a layup away. Some are still fussing about the bully investigation and the way Bruce was unceremoniously dumped. They never dreamed their star would crash. Replacing

even a fallen star is difficult. Zo has a hint of blue-collar star power. He was one as a player at Purdue. He appears to be genuine, full-grown, my kind of family man. He has courage. He does not shy away from challenges. He has courage. He developed some growing up in East St. Louis. He has courage. He needed it in a frightening fight against cancer. There is no confusion about what Zo has to do. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek spelled it out: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our expectations are, No. 1, to play by the rules. No. 2, be competitive. That means in the SEC, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to win. No. 3, represent the institution with integrity, on the court and off the court. And No. 4, academics is very important. Students are very important. We want them to graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if we can do those things, we can be very successful at Tennessee.â&#x20AC;? Amen, brother, right on, go Zo.

The regiment was not relieved until Oct. 17 when they were sent to the rear for rest, reorganization and resupply. With the signing of the Armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, the 117th was entrained for the Le Mans area where Gen. John J. Pershing, commanding the American Expeditionary Forces, visited the division and conducted a review. Three men from the 117th were presented the Medal of Honor, 126 others were awarded the American Distinguished Service Cross or the British Distinguished Service Order, and Col. Cary F. Spence, the commanding officer, was cited for his distinguished leadership in action. He was later awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. When the regiment returned home in April 1919, a parade of historic size and enthusiasm jammed the streets. The regiment had similar welcomes in both Nashville and Chattanooga before going to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., to be mustered out. In 1922, Spence was appointed a brigadier general and assigned to Division Headquarters in Knoxville. Gen. Spence was instrumental in raising funds for the famous Doughboy Statue at old Knoxville High School honoring his regiment. On May 22, 1922, Gen. Pershing spoke along with other deco-

rated military personnel at a special dedication ceremony attended by 7,000 people. After the war, Spence returned as president of his business on Gay Street, the Spence Shoe Co., which he founded in 1916 as successor to the Spence Trunk and Leather Co. He served on City Council from 1931-41 and as the president of the Island Home Park Co. He was a member of the Rotary Club, the Elks, the Sons of the Revolution, the Cherokee Country Club and the Appalachian Club. Fond of the outdoors, Gen. Spence was fishing from a motorboat on the Little Tennessee River two miles below Nileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry on Feb. 21, 1943, when the boat capsized. His companion, who survived, surmised that his 74-year-old friend had succumbed to a heart attack from the excitement as he was known to be a strong swimmer and another boat had reached him in less than five minutes. He was survived by his spouse of 43 years, Hannah Crook Spence, of Baltimore, Md., granddaughter of Civil War general and Indian fighter Gen. George Crook, and a son and daughter. Gen. Spenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services were conducted by the Rev. C.E. Barbour of Second Presbyterian Church, followed by interment at Highland Memorial Cemetery. His children managed the Spence Shoe Co. until it closed Sept. 1, 1975, when several other Gay Street businesses were also liquidating.

LaMance walks the environmental walk Science teacher named Gresham’s Teacher of Year

Technology students place at regional competition

By Ruth White For Kathryn LaMance, choosing a career path in college was easy yet difficult. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she was young but choices were limited for women and she went on to study botany. “I was told that I would never get a job, so I went to school and received my teaching degree,” she said. LaMance’s love for animals and nature overflows into her classroom and her teaching 6th grade students at Gresham Middle School. Parts of her lessons include learning about and caring for animals in the classroom and helping the envi-

ronment through recycling and reusing products. She began her teaching career at Halls Middle School and then moved to Halls Elementary and taught there for a few years before the old school was closed.

She eventually landed at Gresham Middle School and loves the environment. “This is a good school with great faculty and a good mix of people.” LaMance walks the walk when it comes to environmental issues. She sponsors the Green Team at Gresham and has helped the school earn Earth Flag level 4 status. Through everyday activities, students in her class are encouraged to recycle and stay abreast of current events. She enjoys teaching 6th grade students because they are old enough to be selfdirected and are grown up, but not too much. “This is a nice middle point.” When she isn’t in the classroom, LaMance enjoys gardening and landscaping, animals, restoring old cars,

creating stained glass and playing the piano. She is involved in teacher education and has written educational materials. LaMance caught a genealogy bug and recently found out that her best friend and brother-in-law are related. The selection of Teacher of the Year is quite an honor for LaMance. “I’m proud of it and feel that I’m contributing.” She was the third place winner among all middle school teachers for Knox County. The honor of building level Teacher of the Year is shared between LaMance and 7th grade social studies teacher Mark Jones, her student when he was in 5th grade at Halls Elementary. For LaMance, the coincidence makes the honor a little more special.

Institute at the University of Tennessee, sponsored by the graduate program in creative writing. Each student could choose two classes in fiction writing, poetry, songwriting, performance or an area of science fiction. Katherine Ebers, who is working on the plot line for a comic book based on “a backwoods Alice in Wonderland” theme, said the YWI gave her a preview of what a real college class is like and helped spur her to write the best poem she’s ever written – an updated Romeo and Juliet story from Juliet’s point of view. Zimiri Bartlett, who moved here from Detroit in January, says taking poetry and fiction-writing classes was an eye-opening experience for her, too. “It helped me write one of my poems – a forgiveness

“They encouraged us to show our individuality and gave us tips on how not to be nervous.” Gabriel Keith called the workshop “a spirit lifting experience” and said her classes in performance and songwriting inspired her to want to do more. “The teachers didn’t intimidate us and were very open-minded. I’d love to do it again.” Whitney Slaton is another who took fiction and poetry writing classes and said that she’s drawn to poetry writing because it allows her to tell a story in a structured way. “If you don’t have another human being to talk to, you can put your feelings down on paper.” She praised Bennett for making the opportunity available and said she’s hoping to find a way to have a career in writing or some other art-related field. Bennett said Young Writers Institute was important for her students. “They all had a good time, and for a lot of them, it was their first chance to see UT up close.”

Gibbs turns park pink Gibbs High turned the baseball stadium into a sea of pink last week to help raise awareness for breast cancer research. The event, “Pink at the Park,” featured face painting, nail painting, pink snacks, mobile mammography unit, T-shirts and more to help raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The Gibbs community turned out to help strike out breast cancer and raised more than $1,000 to be donated in memory of Kathy Lawson.

Cosmetology is more than hair, nails By Ruth White Topics learned in the classroom have come a long way since reading, writing and arithmetic. Today’s students have the opportunity

Gibbs Eagles to travel down the path that heads to college or on a path that will lead to a technical career. Gibbs High School offers a cosmetology program that prepares students for a career and gives them an opportunity to practice skills learned in the classroom in a clinic setting each Friday. Instructor Stephanie Coppinger uses her skills to not only guide and teach her students, but to help them be prepared for state boards and “then some.” She keeps up with the newest in creative color, cuts and styles, and helps her students be the best that they can be. “She is more than just a teacher,” said student K.C. Ratliff. “She is like a mother figure. We know that we can come to her when we need to talk. She helps her students focus on professional

Miller watched her mother provide salon services and decided that she wanted to follow in her footsteps. image and keep our grades up” Students are not able to participate in Cosmetology II or III if their grades fall below a certain level. The Cosmetology I course teaches the principles of cosmetology and students learn its history, safety in the workplace shampooing and conditioning, haircutting, hair design, and mani-

cures and pedicures. “In this class we learn theory, how the technology was developed and the evolution of the business,” said Ratliff. Cosmetology II teaches design principles and students build on previous courses. Skills learned include artificial nails, waxing, color, perms and applying hair extensions.

Anatomy is studied in this class and students learn product knowledge to help provide the best services for individuals’ hair and skin type. The classroom is open and run like a regular salon on Fridays and students are able to provide manicures, pedicures and styling services to the community. Coursework for Cosmetology III, the chemistry of cosmetology, involves learning advanced hair, skin and nail services and state laws and regulations. Students are able to compete in Skills USA, learn what is involved in opening and running a salon and provide cosmetology services to clients. Most of Coppinger’s students are tapping into their creative side through cosmetology and plan on continuing their careers in the field. Even if some change career paths in the future, the skills and knowledge learned in the classroom are valuable. “I had a student put herself through law school by being a cosmetologist,” said Coppinger. Cosmetology is more than just hair and nails.

Rheem products are Modern mainstay Pace Robinson calls it a solid partnership and Dottie Ramsey says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a marriage.

Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millie Modern Supply's design consultant and remodeling expert. Spring has sprung, the grass is riz â&#x20AC;Ś remember that childhood poem? Spring is my fav time of the year. Everything is coming alive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fresh and new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a needed dose of natural Vitamin D! As much as I love spring, it brings a lot of sneezinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and wheezinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Knoxville was ranked the number one most challenging city to live in if you have allergies according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 ranking. Red, itchy eyes are not becoming to a fashionista. My heating and air buds at Modern Supply, pictured to the right, have a suggestion on fighting pollen and improving overall home air quality. Changing air filters is a must-do! They should be changed every three months. Just like sassy shoes, there are choices in air filters. Elizabeth and Mike at the sales counter can help you find the right fit. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shocking statistic. EPA studies show that even in the smoggiest cities, the air inside most homes is usually at least 10 times more polluted than the air outside. OMG, how can this be?! Energy efficient homes today are built as air-tight as possible. Super-duper for lower energy costs, but it traps airborne pollutants and bad guys such as viruses, dust, dust mites, mold and mildew. These nasties are killinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me! Time to bring in the big guns! Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lotsa help to clear the air! Rheem team germ fighters offer a line of indoor air quality products. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dizzying list of stuff that can be added when installing or updating a Rheem system or other brands. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your mascara run this season. Contact a Rheem contractor to do a spring air conditioning inspection and ask how to best improve your air quality. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know one? I can point you in the right direction. And tell them â&#x20AC;Ś Millie sent you! Drop me a line at: millie@modernsupplyco.com Find me on Facebook: Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millie Follow me on twitter: @modernsmillie

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call it Rheem and us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been together for 45 years,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson, chief executive officer of Modern Supply Company. Modern Supply is the exclusive distributor for Rheem products in a service area that includes parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Virginia. And although Modern sells many products directly to consumers, the Rheem products are not included. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell only to contractors,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell units through a network of professionals who install and service them so it is done right.â&#x20AC;? Ramsey, the chief operating officer at Modern Supply, said training is constant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compare the heat and air units to a vehicle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s takes a highly trained individual to work on them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rheem is strong on research and development, always working to make better, more efficient products,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson, recalling a joint venture with ORNL and Modern Supply a few years ago to promote heat pumps.

Rheem offers a range of price points, he said. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reason to have a professional help evaluate which unit is best suited for each customer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every home is different. A contractor helps you step through those decisions.â&#x20AC;? Randy Williams, who heads the Heat and Air Department at Modern Supply, appreciates the quality and reliability of Rheem. Modern handles only Rheem products for heat and air. Randy can rattle off multiple ways to heat or cool your house. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Wizard of PTAC, those units that stick through the wall at hotels. (It stands for packaged terminal air conditioner, by the way.) But his bread and butter is Rheem. He finds customers â&#x20AC;&#x153;more educated and demanding,â&#x20AC;? these days, probably as a result of the Internet. Although the equipment is uniquely reliable, Williams stocks parts for the occasional need. And he cites the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ease of maintenanceâ&#x20AC;? as a benefit of Rheem. Keith Floyd is Modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;senior outside sales repâ&#x20AC;? with 22 years on the job. A resident of Friendsville, he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built lifetime relationships with his contractor customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cut my teeth on Rheem,â&#x20AC;? said Floyd. He loves the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rheem is privately owned, just like

Hatcher joins Modern Supply Joan Hatcher has joined Modern Supply Company, as director of marketing and communications. Hatcher will be responsible for developing and executing marketing strategies for Modern Supply as they continue to expand their product offerings. She will also be involved in internal initiatives such as business development and training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse background will be an asset in helping us to strengthen our name recognition and brand awareness, particularly outside of the Knoxville area,â&#x20AC;? said CEO Pace Robinson. Modern Supply,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was started by two brothers who were originally in plumbing.â&#x20AC;? Aaron Carr is a recent addition to the Modern team. He was amazed when one day a contractor brought his dog into the business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this guy with a little puppy. Everyone is touching it and laughing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I knew this family-owned business was a good

place for me.â&#x20AC;? Pace Robinson says Modern Supplyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rheem team learns from its customers and he learns from them. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfied with his 45-year partnership with Rheem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good for both companies. But if he got one wish, he would vote for a new, aggressive slogan. Maybe something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing can stop a â&#x20AC;Ś .â&#x20AC;?

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • APRIL 11, 2011 • A-15

Food City: Bigger than you think By Sandra Clark Food City ofﬁcials hosted members of the media for lunch last week to thank everyone for their support of Food City’s various community initiatives. Presid e nt /C E O Steve Smith Steve Smith (who plays a cute stockperson on TV ads) presented a snapshot of his company. It was perfect timing as the reporters were certainly thinking about food. Food City, a regional chain in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky, posts annual sales just under $2 billion, Smith said. The company’s 105 stores contain 4 million square feet of merchandising space and its distribution center adds another 1.2 million, making Food City a

huge consumer of electricity. The company employs 13,000 full- and part-time people with an annual payroll of $215 million. Although folks still need to eat, the economic slowdown has affected Food City. The company opened 12 new stores in 2008, five in 2009 and just two in 2010. Smith said Food City expanded and remodeled existing stores instead and plans to open six new stores this year. The new Morristown store is a prototype of energy efficiency (57 skylights and off-hours dimmers) and construction innovations such as a polished concrete floor rather than tile. Smith called technology an “enabler” that allows Food City to get merchandise on store shelves within 48 hours of receiving it. “We take in produce from five continents; if we don’t sell it we smell it.”

Food City also buys locally, resulting in fresher, tastier produce and economic development as farmers transition away from tobacco production. Smith talked about Food City’s health initiatives, both for employees and customers. He said nutrition labeling system NuVal developer, Dr. David Katz of Yale, will speak in Knoxville on Tuesday, April 26. Community initiatives include Race Night, a handson NASCAR experience, and support of the Food City 500 at Bristol Speedway; Race Against Hunger, which enables customers to support local food pantries; and Apples for Students, which has put $13.1 million into local schools for technology. Most recently, Food City cut 10,000 prices, shaving their margin and asking vendors to as well. “Our customers needed a break. I believe when you help people

when they need it, they will remember,” Smith said. Challenges? “We need to get people back to work,” Smith said. “We’re seeing some inﬂation on commodities (milk, meat, etc.).” “We hope to get wine in grocery stores this year. The odds are 50/50. Legislators are caught between two strong competing groups (grocery stores versus liquor wholesalers and package store owners).” Smith lives on the Tennessee-Virginia line and understands the politics of both states. Virginia allows wine sales in grocery stores and also has a lower sales tax. Retailers in border cities (Bristol, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Memphis) lose sales across state lines, hurting Tennessee businesses and reducing the state’s overall sales tax revenue. Ending on a joke, Smith said Food City entered the Knoxville market 20 years ago when “we bought Emerson Breeding (from White Stores) and they threw in the stores.”

Spring surge fuels March market The onset of spring brought good news to the local real estate market as property sales jumped 42 percent during the month of March. For the month that ended on Thursday, March 31, the Register of Deeds ofﬁce recorded 649 property transfers. The cumulative value of property sold during the month was about $142 million. This was an increase of 193 land transfers over those processed in February, and also outpaced the sales of March 2010 by some $15 million. It is not historically unusual for real estate activity to experience a bump as winter gives way to warmer weather, but a surge such as this one is notable in a market that has seen a very slow couple of years. The amount of money loaned against property also went up in March to nearly $263 million, compared to $200 million in February. Although mortgage rates have rebounded somewhat from

Sherry Witt Register of Deeds

realestatereport their historic lows last fall, the market is still favorable to those with enough equity to borrow. The largest transfer of the month was the sale of the downtown Hilton Hotel property on Church Avenue. The complex sold for $19.4 million. It was the only notable commercial sale of the month of more than $3 million. For the calendar year 2010, the total value of property transferred in Knox County was approximately $1.52 billion. This was a decrease from 2009, during which $1.68 billion worth of real property changed hands.

Our Prices Can’t Be Beat!

Is our local utility vulnerable to the tragic mishap in Sevier County where a basin wall at the Gatlinburg wastewater treatment plant collapsed, dumping untreated waste into the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River and leaving two workers dead? Engineer Nick Jackson, who oversees plant operations for Hallsdale Powell Utility District, said no. “Our plant has the majority of water tankage underground. The Gatlinburg plant used a different type of construction with large elevated tank walls that were above ground. I am not familiar with that plant or what caused the accident, but this is deﬁnitely a different type of wall/

structure/construction than we have,” he said. HPUD’s wastewater treatment plant is undergoing a major upgrade. It’s located on Beaver Creek in Powell. “We staff and operate our wastewater plant 24/7,” said Jackson. “During the course of everyday operations and maintenance, our staff assesses the tankage and equipment (pumps, blowers, etc) each day. “Any abnormal signs of problems (leakage, wet spot, etc.) are instantly addressed

via our work management system. We also take our tanks out of service (typically yearly) to inspect them without water. This allows for more detailed inspection of joints, cracks on the ﬂoor, etc. “And lastly, we also have detailed engineering master planning assessments done regularly to analyze and predict any lifecycle problems at the plant and help prioritize improvements. This includes structural assessments of all tanks that hold water or chemicals as well.”

Pump up your heart muscle at Fort Sanders Cardiac Rehab Center Fort Sanders Echo Lab earns re-accreditation The Fort Sanders Regional Echocardiography Lab has received re-accreditation from the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL). Accreditation by the ICAEL is voluntary and demonstrates the laboratoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to high quality patient care and provision of quality diagnostic testing. The ICAEL was established with the support of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography (SOPE) to provide a peer review mechanism to encourage quality diagnosis of heart disease.

After heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty, cardiac patients at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center are referred to its Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program. The three-month program involves exercise sessions and health classes to establish lifestyle changes that help reduce the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of further heart disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cardiac Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment plan which involves medication, nursing, exercise physiology, nutrition and psychology. Lifestyle changes are difficult, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to provide people support so they can change,â&#x20AC;? explains Cardiac Rehab nurse case manager Brenda Leuthold. Patients exercise three times each week while

hooked to a heart monitor. They also attend 16 different classes on nutrition, stress management and medications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long enough to help get habits formed,â&#x20AC;? says Leuthold. After completing the rehab program, patients are invited back to the center to continue exercising. The center has exercise bikes, step machines, treadmills and free weights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful support group for anybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had heart disease or heart procedures,â&#x20AC;? says Leuthold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of great outcomes.â&#x20AC;?

The definition of ‘humane’ If you look up the definition of “humane” in the dictionary, it says “having or showing compassion or benevolence”; “inflicting the minimum of pain”; and/ or “intended to have a civilizing or refining effect on people.” I think sometimes when people do what they think is humane for an animal, they are really benefiting themselves more than they are the animal. I have made several attempts to catch an injured, feral cat here at the west Shopper-News office and the person(s) who are feeding its colony repeatedly release it from the trap. I have left a note on the trap to reassure the folks I mean no harm, that I am an animal lover myself who is trying to help this injured creature, but it seems they get so much of a warm and fuzzy feeling when freeing the poor thing that it’s too

Critter Tales much for them to bare if it is unhappy in the trap until I take it to the veterinarian. When performing what you think is a “humane” act for an animal or another person, please ask yourself if what you’re doing is really best for the being’s quality of life, or if it’s an act of instant gratification on your part. If you know someone feeding feral colonies around the Lovell Road area, let them know that if they would like to give me a call, I will be happy to talk to them about this situation.

Daniel will be 3 years old at the end of this month. That number means a lot of things. It’s the supposed end of the Terrible Twos. It’s two more years before he can go to kindergarten. It also means that I’ve got a party to plan and three weeks to plan it. We’re taking the plunge this year and inviting Daniel’s preschool class, not just family and his buddy Tony. Perhaps 12 preschoolers with parents, and I’m hosting them all. I’m trying not to panic. “We need to decide where to have this party,” I said to my husband. “We’re not going to just have it here?” he asked. “Twelve preschoolers in our house?” I replied. While our house is the largest place I’ve lived that wasn’t my parents’ house, it’s not exactly Buckingham Palace. I priced bounce houses and places that specialize in birthday parties. At $120 just for the venue, I think we’ll wait until age 5 or beyond for those. We decided on a local park with a $30 fee for the pavilion. Now for the fun part: quizzing the birthday boy. “Daniel, your birthday is coming up soon. What kind of party do you want?” “Mickey Mouse!” “And what do you want to eat for your birthday?”

Shannon Carey

moms101 “Cake!” Well, that’s settled. The coaching has started, too. Daniel can say “Three years old,” and hold up some combination of fingers ranging from two to four. Invitations, decorations, RSVP’s and party favors are all going to be new territory for me. Food should be easy if I can just keep my husband, who secretly desires to be a chef, from turning a fruit tray and a bowl of chips into a huge production. I can’t wait to see how Daniel reacts to his birthday party. This will be the first year that he may have an inkling about his guestof-honor status. I hope it doesn’t freak him out. I hope he can just relax and have a good time. Regardless, after the shindig ends and the kiddo’s in bed, I plan to celebrate with a glass of wine. Here’s to Daniel for being the coolest kid ever, here’s to my husband for putting up with both of us, and here’s to me for at least trying to be a good mom.
