Sultana sinking worse than Titanic Although its history has been largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Andersonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition. With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard. More were killed than those who perished on the Titanic.

Maria Hurst, Kasey Goins and Sydney Settle practice a balcony scene during dress rehearsals.

By Betty Bean Sound checks came first on dress rehearsal night in the Central High School auditorium – each member of the cast of “Les Misérables” with a solo part lined up on onstage and sang a couple of lines. A gaggle of costumed male cast members wrestled the translucent scrim down from its perch high atop the back of the stage. Director Beckye Thomas exited stage left at a dead run and came back with lengths of rope to bind the unwieldy curtain and keep it from unfurling and helped the group

maneuver it back into place. “Our biggest problem will be getting the barricades in and out smoothly,” Thomas said a few minutes later. “We’ve got some kinks to work out.” Thomas, who heads the Central High School Choral Department and is known for her spectacular productions, was a perpetual motion machine as she gathered as many members of the 84-member cast as she could herd together for publicity pictures in front of the towering sets that were built on site by parents and supporters of

the program. Cian Bell, 10, who plays worldly street urchin Gavroche, was on the front row. Thomas said, “On March 13, we hosted the Knox County Choral Showcase. On March 15, we started to work on the sets. It got done in less than four weeks time.” Senior lead Katie Bales, who plays Cosette, was Christine in last year’s production of “Phantom of the Opera.” She hasn’t decided where she’s going to go to college, but she knows she will major in music. Junior Brett Hooper is the dashing Jean Val Jean – he was

Raoul in “Phantom.” He, too, will likely study music in college. Down in the orchestra pit, rehearsal accompanist David Eilart and conductor Chuck Sayne waited for their musicians to arrive. There would be 15 professionals tuned up and ready when everyone got seated. “Les Misérables” cost more than $50,000 to produce, half of which will be recouped by sales of program ads by student sales representatives. Ticket sales will also defray the cost of the production.

Plans laid for Honor Fountain City Day extra-special occasion, said Fountain City Town Hall president Ken Cloninger. “It’s our 40th anniversary, and we’ll kick it all off Memorial Day at 10:30 a.m. in Fountain City Park. The keynote address will be by Bill Williams at the gazebo from 3 to 3:45 p.m., followed by a memorial service at the lake at 4,” Cloninger said. “We want to give people a chance to see the rebuilt fountain.” Other speakers will inThe 40th anniversary “Honor Fountain City” T-shirt declude Travis Henderson, signed by Charles Williams will be available at the Memorial John Becker, John J.

In other Town Hall business last week, Fountain City artist Jean Hess, who lives on Highland Drive, asked for help with speeding on her street. She said that the Knoxville Police Department was not helpful with the problem when contacted some two years ago. “There are a lot of bad feelings on Highland that nobody seems to care about us,” she said.

Board member Carlene Malone suggested inviting Mayor Madeline Rogero and KPD chief David Rausch when Town Hall resumes its meetings in September after the summer hiatus, and the group agreed to extend the invitation. Board member Charlotte Davis asked the group to think about ways to highlight Fountain City’s small businesses. Other members said they’d like to promote greenway expansion in the area, and the group voted to invite Lori Goerlich, the city’s new Parks and Greenways Coordinator, to speak at the October meeting.

Master Cake Designer Regina Long and her protégé Katie Wheeler from Rosa’s Catering kept a Halls-based business in the spotlight for the third year in a row through their talent for cake design and decorating. More than 150 bakers entered the 2012 Great Cake Bake in categories including Wedding, All Occasion and Cupcakes. More than 3,000 people came to view their designs March 31 at the Tennessee Terrace at Neyland Stadium. Long has won in at least one category each year. This time, she took home first place in the Professional All Occasion Fondant category with her “Peter Rabbit” cake. The cake featured Peter peeking out of a wayward watering can left in the garden and surrounded by fruit, vegetables and flowers. The five-tier creation was true to life right down to a garden gate. “This is always a lot of fun,” said Long, who has been creating masterpieces in edible art since 2003. “I enjoy participating because all the funds benefit a good cause.” Wheeler won first place for a Beginner All Occasion butter cream cake which she named “An Ode to Dr. Seuss.” The Great Cake Bake supports the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a program that ensures children will receive free books in the mail monthly until age 5.

Families say thanks for love and prayers

Bunny hops through Fountain City Park

The families of Josie Meredith Fine want to thank the Powell and surrounding communities for their love, support and prayers following Josie’s death. The outpouring by friends, families, schools, churches and others who knew Josie and those whose lives were touched by her charm and fun-loving spirit has and continues to uplift the family during this terrible loss. Josie’s motto was “Live in Love.” So, in her memory, we are doing just that! We thank the Lord we were chosen to share in her short life. Thank you seems so little, but it is heartfelt. Thank you, thank you, thank you. – Josie’s families: Fine, Simmons and Williams

A star on the rise

Halls High School freshman Piper Montana Smith will represent the school at the Knox County Schools CTE (Career and Technical Education) Idol competition, patterned after “American Idol,” at 7 p.m. Friday, May 4, at Market Square. Photo by Jake Mabe

Halls High student to compete for ‘CTE Idol’

Hey, Halls, listen up a minute. If y’all aren’t doing anything on the evening of Friday, May 4, head down to Market Square. Help cheer on and vote for a Halls High School freshman who hopes to be Knox County School’s “CTE Idol.” And here’s the best part. After talking to Piper Montana Smith for a few minutes last week, I could see a star on the rise. Maybe even a one-day “American Idol.” She sounds like an old pro and she’s only a freshman! “CTE Idol” is a secondyear event put on by the school system’s Career and Technical Education department. Formatted like “American Idol,” a student from each high school performs a song for a chance to make a professional recording. Last year, the contest drew 8,000 fans. This year, 20 percent of a singer’s score is based on the number of text message votes received from the crowd. The event begins at 7 p.m. Piper won the Halls High tryouts by singing The Beatles’ “Oh! Darling.” At “CTE Idol,” she’s going to sing a unique arrangement of “The House of the Rising Sun,” a ’60s hit for The Animals. Piper has played the piano since age 4 and played the bass guitar since she was 8. She takes voice lessons and says, “It just comes natural to me.” Her dad first put her on to

MY TWO CENTS the late ’60s/early ’70s rock and roll music she adores. He got her a gig opening for a group called Tricks of Agnes at the Downtown Grill and Brewery when she was 6! She performed the good stuff – a Beatles medley and super soul selections from Otis Redding. She says she grabbed any chance to sing at church or any kind of gig that came along. Her musical influences include The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Cream. Her favorite singers are John Mayer, Janis Joplin and Redding. I asked her a question I can’t answer about myself: “What’s your favorite song?” Piper didn’t flinch. Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away.” Her dream is to major in production at Belmont, NYU or UC Berkeley. At Halls High, she performs in the marching band, the jazz band and in the drum line. She presents herself with a poise that most people her age do not possess. “It’s natural to me,” Piper

I be great. just wonder if that’s going to change this time.” The “CTE Idol” competition will be the largest crowd for which she’s ever sung.

time. “It’s crucial to note that the Blackwell decision prevents anyone – voters or the commission – from changing benefits from anyone now hired, even if the employee has not worked five years to be vested. If he or she stays employed for five year and vests in the pension, those benefits cannot be changed.” So the subcommittee met last week with Broyles absent. On a 4-0 vote, the group removed “defined benefit” from Section A and eliminated Sections B and C. They will meet again to consider Sections D and E, Jablonski said. These sections should not be eliminated, Jablonski said. The subcommittee’s recommendations will go to the full 27-member Charter Review Committee which can accept them, reject them or change them. Changes adopted will go to voters. Stay tuned.

By Sandra Clark With a little luck, the Charter Review Committee will get a proposal on the November ballot to rein in the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan. With its defined benefit and mandated three percent annual cost of living increase, the UOPP has become the beast that ate the budget. With the school board asking for $7 million a year for 5 years over a continuation budget, we’re looking at just over $8 million as Knox County’s contribution to its various pension plans in the upcoming budget, according to Commission chair Mike Hammond. Of that, $4.6 million is required for the UOPP. The Charter Review Committee formed a 5-member subcommittee to bring a specific proposal about UOPP reform.

GOSSIP AND LIES

Affordable housing Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero (at right) talks with City Council member Finbarr Saunders following last week’s dedication of the Dutch Valley View apartment complex (above). Designed to face a courtyard, the six units create a sense of community while sheltering residents from the noise of I-640. Sharp’s Ridge is in the distance. Each unit has three bedrooms and two baths and two are accessible to those with mobility disabilities.

County jury duty starting Monday morning. That seems ironic. We’re not sure what they’re going to be doing at this meeting and they don’t send us anything, so I would have had no way of knowing about it if (a reporter) hadn’t forwarded it to me. That’s just amazing.” She also pays Knox County’s wheel tax and personal property taxes and said she consulted the election commission when she moved to her new home in 2008. She was advised that she and her husband could make a one-time choice between Knox or Anderson County as their official residency. “It’s not like we’ve been in Anderson County and tried to sneak in. When we bought this lot, there was no house on it. Now, under Mark Goins’ theory, we could put a front balcony on our master bedroom and suddenly our house is in Knox County. It doesn’t make sense. He’s relying on a 1931 court case instead of the statute. Maybe that’s why he went into government, not law.” Is she going to fight? “I think so. I think I know the law. I’m a Knox County resident and I have been for years.”

Is TVA also clear cutting trees within the national parks and national forests where their power lines go? TVA is also worrying about dress codes for their public hearings which now has them in federal court. Why bother? Doesn’t TVA have more important things to do than telling Chris Lee not to wear red

paint to a public hearing? Who cares? And now they have four attorneys on the case in federal court – all at taxpayer expense. No doubt they will have four more attorneys on the Westminster tree cutting case, also now in federal court. TVA has lost its way in the valley. Mike Hammond says he is not applying to be CEO of the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation (Gloria Ray’s old job) until the differences between KTSC and Mayor Tim Burchett are resolved. He does not want to be in the middle of that situation. It needs to be resolved anyway. Burchett helped force the issue which ultimately forced Ray to depart. Some KTSC board members are still miffed over Burchett and Rogero intervening and demanding Ray’s ouster. The KTSC’s current plan to hold public hearings on the public’s views should be co-ordinated with Mayors Burchett and Rogero if they want buy in

Imagine you’re a candidate and the election commission says you’re not a bona fide Knox County resident and schedules a meeting to compel you go to court to defend your right to run. You’d appreciate them telling you when and where the above-mentioned meeting was going to happen, wouldn’t you? Of course you would. And so would Shelley Breeding, the lone Democrat in the running for the new 89th District seat in the Te n n e s s e e House of Breeding Representatives. She lives in the Elizabeth Downs subdivision in Karns. The Anderson County line runs through her property. Knox County Election Commission administrator Cliff Rodgers challenged Breeding’s right to run for the Knox County House seat because she pays her property taxes to Anderson County through a mortgage company. She is a registered Knox County voter. State election coordinator Mark Goins, a former legislator who holds a law degree, agrees with Rodgers. In a letter dated Wednesday, April 11, he opined that Breeding should be voting in Anderson County but said he figured this issue would end up in court, so he directed the Knox County Election Commission to go to Chancery Court and ask for a declaratory judgment to settle it. Breeding, also an attorney, says she meets the preponderance of the statutory criteria required to satisfy residency requirements and says she wishes Rodgers had notified her of the election commission meeting set for 8:30 a.m. Thursday, although she may be obliged to be elsewhere. “We haven’t been invited to present anything at all at this meeting,” Breeding said. “And I’m on jury duty – in Knox County – next week. They’ve called a meeting to dispute my status as a Knox County resident while I’m on Knox

What causes TVA to behave in such an arrogant manner? What has happened to an agency which used to command such respect and support within the Valley? Today TVA is seen as bloated, big salaries, arrogant and insensitive to taxpayer concerns. It is often their way or the highway. CEO Tom Kilgore has generated new enemies for TVA, assisted by a board of directors which declines to intervene for ratepayers. The current controversy over tree cuttings within Knoxville and Knox County symbolizes this situation. TVA has managed to irritate people who normally don’t take sides on TVA issues. Clear cutting all trees under the power lines is not required and is harmful to the environment. TVA claims trimming trees over thousands of miles would be too costly. Being lectured by TVA on cost savings is hard to take. Only a week ago Kilgore, who is paid millions annually, admitted a $2 billion error at Watts

As partisans challenge her right to run

TVA: Lost in the valley

No notice to Breeding

for the final product. Right now KTSC does not seem to be working closely with Burchett. Election Commission member Dennis Francis, one of two Democratic members, missed the March 26 Commission meeting. No explanation was given. Francis is bright and informed. He is an astute partisan. His absence is a loss for Democrats. City Council member Duane Grieve attended the recent Island Home waterfront hearing. I failed to include him as being present along with five other council members. Audio there was nonexistent. City is working to find a new sound system for public hearings. That’s something they needed yesterday. Gov. Bill Haslam will be at Blount Mansion on Friday afternoon, April 20. He has recommended $500,000 in the state budget for the Mansion’s capital campaign which will help considerably in restoring the Mansion from serious deterioration. He earns our thanks for this good use of tax dollars for historic preservation.

It was true, too, in the Civil War, Flagel says, especially in communities caught in the midst of mayhem. Don’t forget that both Shiloh and Gettysburg, for example, were basically hamlets. The mention of Gettysburg gelled into another point. “We have hindsight,” Flagel said. “Even Lee did not know he was headed to Gettysburg.” The largest battle ever fought in the Northern Hemisphere happened where it did because two armies bumped into one another. Most of the newspapers thought Lee was headed to Harrisburg, Pa. Chaos, confusion and rumor were rampant. Few reporters got to Gettysburg in a timely manner. (Yep, most were in Harrisburg.) The Baltimore American, for example, reported on July 3, 1863, “no engagement (had

happened) at Gettysburg up to four this evening.” They hadn’t yet heard about Pickett’s Charge. One newspaper reported that Gen. George B. McClellan was killed at Gettysburg. He wasn’t even there. In spite of what the newspapers said, even Abraham Lincoln considered the fall of Vicksburg, Miss., which also happened the first week of July 1863, as the pivotal battle of the war. In fact, he called Gettysburg a defeat. But when Lincoln heard the news from Vicksburg, he said, “It is great. It is great. I see the end of the war!” Many believed at first that Gettysburg was a prequel to something worse, merely the first shot in a coming slaughter. Trenches were dug in Philadelphia, just in case. “Don’t listen to the history,” Flagel said. “Look at the evidence.” Reporters had to work. They didn’t know how long a battle would last. When the smoked cleared they then had to find a telegraph office. Many generals – like today – didn’t even want them around. William T. Sherman said reporters were worse than spies. Spies gathered information for their country. Reporters did so for money.

And forget the inverted pyramid style of newspaper writing. Because each and every letter had to be set into type one at a time, the freshest news could often be found in the middle or at the end of a story, sometimes on Page 2 or Page 3. Names, even of the generals, were misspelled; those wounded but living were reported dead (including Ar-

thur MacArthur, Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s father). “Accuracy,” Flagel said, “is the first casualty of war.” The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable meets monthly each second Tuesday at Bearden Banquet Hall. Info: http://www.discoveret.org/ kcwrt/ or visit its page on Facebook.

to critique new coaches, the proposed running attack and the realigned defensive front. The game is free. The golf event honors the memory of Jimmy “Cowboy” Hill. Thousands of Tennessee fans don’t know him. He came Marvin as a wingback from an undeWest feated team at Maryville High to become an outstanding defensive back in 1949 and 1950. He was deserving of all-star glue who once held the T Club recognition but there wasn’t together, will be praised. enough to go around. The gathering will resume This was the era of Hank Saturday at the Lauricella Lauricella, Doug Atkins, Bert Room in Neyland Stadium, Rechichar, Jack Stroud, John in advance of the Orange Michels, Gordon Polofsky, and White game. Some will Andy Kozar, Jim Haslam, stop spinning stories and Pug Pearman, Jimmy Hahn, go watch football, the better Ted Daffer, J.W. Sherrill, Bob

Davis – the list of great ones goes on and on. Hill had several claims to fame. As former teammate Ollie Keller tells it, Jimmy was nicknamed Cowboy by Gen. Robert R. Neyland and not because he wore boots or a wide-brimmed hat. If Hill hit a runner or receiver and didn’t get a clean knockdown, he “wrangled” his foe to the ground as a rodeo cowboy might throw a calf. Neyland loved the competitive spirit. Teammates loved the label. The tag stuck. Hill was a hero in the 1951 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas. Lauricella had the historic 75-yard run. Kozar scored twice. Cowboy made

big fourth-quarter plays that proved pivotal. With the Longhorns leading 14-13 and driving, Hill intercepted a pass and returned 28 yards. Tennessee fumbled away that opportunity but Texas fumbled it back on the next play – and Hill recovered. The Vols responded with the winning touchdown. Hill was a winner. He played on the NFL champion Detroit Lions in ’51. After a military climb to colonel, he played briefly with Pittsburgh and finished with the Ottawa Rough Riders. He was state chair of the Selective Service System. He was a businessman and chair of the Blount

County chamber of commerce. He served on the Maryville City Council. He was on two bank boards. He was president of the UT lettermen’s club when the golf tournament idea hatched. Others found that a good reason to tie his name to the event. There was only one Cowboy but there are hundreds of former Volunteers who played a part in what Tennessee athletics used to be. Many added other significant accomplishments. Each has a story. Old Vols are very interesting. They deserve to be remembered.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

The first casualty of war The realization, when it came, smacked Thomas Flagel right in the face. Flagel, an assistant professor of American history at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tenn., has been studying the Civil War, and reading newspapers from the period, all of his professional life. He said, though, that for years he missed what had literally been right in front of him. “The newspapers were telling me the Confederacy was dying when the editors weren’t,” Flagel told the Knoxville Civil War Roundtable at Bearden Banquet Hall last week. He spoke on “Messengers of Death: How the Press Presented the Civil War.” When Southern printing presses died, Flagel said, parts to replace them were in the North. Northern newspapers

had a oneto two-day response time to n e w s ; Southern newspapers had a oneto two-week Thomas Flagel r e s p o n s e time, “when things were good.” The North had 12,000 miles of telegraph lines; the South had about 500. Seventy percent of Southern newspapers shut down during a two-year period. “The Confederacy was bleeding to death, including in ink and print.” In a crisis, Flagel says, humans desire information. It’s part of our fight or flight instinct. It is still true in the 21st century. On Sept. 11, 2001, for example, Internet usage increased 1,000 percent.

Old Vols gathering This is fellowship week for old Vols. A hundred or more former Tennessee athletic lettermen will gather for golf on Friday at Avalon. Hall of Fame linebacker Steve Kiner has been practicing. Fleet receiver-running back Stanley Morgan will participate. Old tailback Herky Payne will talk a very good game but probably won’t play.

The forgotten story of the Sultana HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

More were killed in boat disaster than in the Titanic

Although its history has been largely neglected in Civil War studies, the sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865, affected many families in East Tennessee along with families in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. Most of the approximately 2,100 Union soldiers on the side-wheeler packet boat had been freed from Confederate prisons at Andersonville (Ga.) and Cahaba (Ala.) and were in weakened condition. With the 100 civilian passengers and 85-person crew, almost 2,300 people were aboard. The 400 troopers of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry (USA) were by far the largest unit of military passengers. Many of them from Blount, Knox, McMinn and Monroe counties had been captured by Gen. Nathan B. Forrest at Athens and Sulphur Branch Trestle, Ala. on Sept. 24-25, 1864. When exchanged for Confederate prisoners held by the North at the end of the war, they had been sent to Camp Fisk near Vicksburg, Miss., to be processed before they were transported to Camp Chase, Ohio, for discharge from the army. Their eagerness to do whatever it took to get home and the disorganization and corruption of the officers in charge of their transportation allowed far too many to board the boat, which had a rated capacity of only 376. The river boat company was collecting $5 per enlisted soldier and $10 per officer and, although he knew the ship was vastly overloaded, the captain finally approved his human cargo

and began the trip upriver toward Memphis at 9 p.m. April 24. It was significant that one of the boat’s four large boilers was found to be leaking prior to reaching Vicksburg and, rather than taking the three days required to replace the boiler, a patch was placed over the bulge in less than a day. In addition to the perilous overloading of the boat, the Mississippi River was at flood stage as the heavy snows of a severe winter in the northern states had thawed and added that volume to that of the usual spring rains. The Sultana’s two engines labored under the strain. Proceeding upriver, the boat reached Memphis at 7 p.m. April 26. After unloading some cargo and after taking on coal on the Arkansas side of the river, the Sultana had reached a series of small islands called Paddy’s Hens and Chickens seven miles above Memphis where the swollen river was nearly four miles wide. It was 2 a.m. on the black, cloudy night of April 27. As most of the passengers slept on the crowded decks, one of the huge tubed boilers exploded with a volcanic fury that a witness on the shore described as the sound of a hundred earthquakes. Soon two more boilers exploded. Splintered debris and live coals filled the sky. Scalding water and clouds of steam showered the prisoners. Hundreds were killed outright or blown into the water to drown. The upper decks soon collapsed and many unfortunate souls, trapped in the resulting wreckage, could only await certain death as fire spread throughout the hull. Within 20 minutes the entire superstructure was burning.

Until 1930, the survivors of the disaster gathered each April for a reunion. Shown here at the 1920 reunion are P.M. Keeble, Wallace Milesap, G.W. Hulett, Pryor Draper, D.A. Headrick, J.H. Simpson and A.P. Varnell. Photo

The burning wreckage began to drift slowly downriver. Only 76 life preservers and two small lifeboats were on board, so most of those who survived had jumped into the river. Hundreds were struggling there in the water when the first rescue boat, the Bostonia II, arrived at about 3 a.m. Other vessels eventually joined the rescue. By about 3:30 a.m. cries could be heard out across the river as some of the passengers floated down on bits of lumber. Cutters from the gunboats began sweeping the river for survivors. When dawn came, the remains of the Sultana had drifted to the west bank of the Mississippi and sank off the tiny settlement of Mound City, Ark. All up and down the river citizens still worked to rescue those floating by in the water or those who had found refuge in tree tops that were nearly cov-

The packet boat Sultana, shown at Helena, Ark., only one day before its explosion on April 27, 1865, was so overloaded with 2,300 passengers that it listed 20 degrees when so many rushed to the rail for this photograph. Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress ered by the flooded river, or to retrieve the bodies of the dead. Since there was no accurate count of those who were boarded at Vicksburg, there is no accurate count of those who died. The most reliable sources place the death toll at more than 1,700, (compared to the 1,517 who died when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912). A court of inquiry was soon appointed to investigate the tragedy. Neither that group nor others who investigated the disaster later held anyone liable for the appalling overcrowding. The supervising inspector of steamboats shed the most light on the cause of the tragedy. He concluded that the quick repair

to the boiler at Vicksburg was made with a metal plate too thin to stand the pressure of the steam. For many years the local survivors of the Sultana Disaster met on April 27 to commemorate the loss of their comrades, often at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Maryville Pike. When Pleasant M. Keeble of Vestal passed away in 1931, the last known local survivor was laid to rest in the Eusebia Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Blount County. The 25th annual reunion will be held April 27-28 near Cincinnati, Ohio. Those interested in attending the meeting should contact Norman Shaw at 693-2171 or email shawclan4@bellsouth.net.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS â&#x20AC;˘ APRIL 16, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ A-7 can withstand. It behooves us all to remember the truth of a line from Robert Boltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Man for All Seasons,â&#x20AC;? (my all-time favorite play and movie). Sir Thomas More, imprisoned by King Henry VIII for his firm refusal to take the Oath of Allegiance (concerning the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage to Anne Boleyn), and tried for treason, remarks with wisdom and foreboding and resignation at his trial, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death comes for us all; even for kings he comes.â&#x20AC;? Death is inevitable. It is also remarkably indifferent to our hopes, and dreams and aspirations. It cares not that we have been hurt before, or that we will be lonely without our parent, or spouse or child. So can we, like Habakkuk, look steadfastly at all the suffering and calamity around us, realize that we have nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nothing! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and still be able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śyet I will rejoice in the Lord â&#x20AC;Śexult in the God of my salvation.â&#x20AC;? I trust so. Because as long as we have God (or, more accurately, as long as God has us) we do not have â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing,â&#x20AC;? and we can indeed rejoice in the Lord. I will pray for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Job.â&#x20AC;? I invite you to do the same, for him, and for all who suffer misfortune and sickness and loneliness and despair. Pray for healing, pray for hope, pray for wholeness. And give thanks to God for all your blessings!

It was the worst of times Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3: 17-18 NRSV) I have seen him. I have not heard his story firsthand, but two people I trust completely have told me the saga. We believe the story is true. His young daughter died of meningitis. A few years later his wife died of cancer. He and his son lost a house to floods and moved to another state, where their house was ripped apart by a tornado. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know his name, but I call him Job. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how he gets up in the morning. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fathom how he remembers to breathe in and out. I am grateful, for his sake, that his son lives here, but I also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine the sense of dread, the wondering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next?â&#x20AC;? that must pervade every day of their lives. What does such tragedy mean? That God is out to get him? That God is indifferent to human suffering? That God is testing him? That God has favorites,

CROSS CURRENTS or contrariwise, God has scapegoats? That God is powerless? I say a resounding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? to all of those. At least, intellectually that is what I believe. When I can think rationally about it, I believe that God set some rules in place in the natural world: cells divide (a good thing), but sometimes they get overzealous in their multiplication and cancer occurs. Winds blow, spreading seeds around, moving weather systems from one place to another and bringing needed rain. Except that sometimes there is more rain and wind than our human-made houses

Noted author to speak for Emerald Youth Foundation Emerald Youth Foundation will welcome nationally-known researcher and author George Barna on Friday, May 4, at the Knoxville Expo Center. Barna will speak at Emerald Youth’s prayer breakfast at 7 a.m. He will discuss his belief that children should be a church’s No. 1 priority. Based on his book “Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions,” Barna will explain why he didn’t just “miss the boat” on this subject, he “missed the ocean.” The annual fundraising event will also include the meaningful story of an Emerald Youth alumnus; praise

and worship music by the Emerald Youth choir; and the launch of Emerald Youth Fellows to serve urban high school seniors. Following the breakfast, Emerald Youth will offer a free special session with Barna designed specifically for pastors and Christian leaders. Topics will include America’s world views and how churches can become more involved in facilitating a Biblical world view. The presentation will be held 8:30 to 10 a.m. Anyone in Christian leadership is welcome to attend. Barna has written 48 books about leadership,

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “Often when I first get out of bed in the mornings, my back teeth are very sore, but later in the morning the soreness goes away. Is this unusual and should I be concerned about it?” Answer: The symptoms you have described are very likely a result of what is referred to as “Night Bruxing.” This means, in other words, that you are clenching and gritting your teeth together subconsciously while you sleep. As a result the teeth become hyper-

sensitive and sore. Usually in the early stages, the condition is temporary during the day, lasting usually only a few hours. It is important to have your condition checked by a dentist, since it can develop into more serious problems involving the joints (Temporomandibular Joint) of the lower jaw. Frequently a device called a “Night Guard” can be made for your teeth for wear at night, and many times this will alleviate the problem.

Cooper designed T-shirts that read “Paws for a Cause” and gave them out to individuals who made donations. “The Humane Society is a no-kill environment and the goal is to create a better place to help animals,” she said. Cooper was recently honored at a fundraising dinner for having a heart for animals. The pair is currently collecting items to deliver to the Union County Humane Society, including hand sanitizer, detergent, black trash bags, paper towels, Dawn dishwashing liquid and antibacterial soap.

Opening doors A sports injury can derail a young person’s plans, but it takes a special perspective to see an injury as an opportunity. Dr. Phil Nielson, who owns Nielson Chiropractic in Halls, took two sports injuries as opportunities for success.

Shannon Carey

Nielson has always been an athlete. In high school, he played football, baseball and basketball, and did track and field in the off season. After a knee injury his senior year, he saw his football scholarships disappear.

Instead of giving up, Nielson concentrated on track and field as part of his rehabilitation. He won the South Carolina state tournament in shot put and discus and turned that success into a track scholarship at Baptist College in Charleston. But, Baptist College didn’t offer his real love: the javelin throw. He transferred to UT, which had the best javelin program in the country. After graduation, while working in the St. Mary’s physical therapy unit, Nielson was still excelling at the javelin. He was ranked third in the U.S. and sixth in the world, he’d been named Knoxville Track Club’s Athlete of the Year, and he was training for the 1984 Olympics. Then, at a track meet, Nielson slipped on a wet, grassy surface and injured

Bond re-fi could save $$$ By Sandra Clark Bob Crye is proving to be more than a commissioner who seconds motions and votes yes. Crye joined Hallsdale Powell Utility District commissioners Jim Hill and Kevin Julian as Mayor Tim Burchett’s only appointment to HPUD’s governing board. Last week, he quizzed president Darren Cardwell and chief finan-

cial officer James Smith about plans to refund, or re-issue, HPUD’s Series 2002-A and Series 204-B bonds – about $45 million in debt. Smith showed commissioners a 3-inch stack of papers which he has submitted to the state Comptroller. He estimated savings “of around $4.9 million” depending on rates at the time of the refunding. Smith said the Comp-

his groin. The orthopedic surgeons he saw said he’d never throw again, never play sports again. He might even walk with a limp, they said. “That opened a new door,” said Nielson. A friend who was a chiropractor asked Nielson to come to his office. The treatment he received healed Nielson’s injury. He wouldn’t go to the Olympics, but he could play basketball and ski again. Nielson enrolled in chiropractic school and completed the four-year program in three years, taking 36 hours each quarter. “Without track, going to school was easy,” said Nielson. “There was no sweating involved.” Nielson opened a practice in Halls, where he’s practiced for more than 20 years. Nielson said he’s not getting rich off his practice. He doesn’t rack up treatments just to pay the

troller had 15 days to issue an opinion letter. Commissioners recessed the meeting until 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, to take final action on the plan. The district’s chief counsel, Bud Gilbert, said he had not seen Smith’s proposal, and Hill instructed staff to run everything past Gilbert. “I sleep better at night” knowing Bud is our advisor, Hill said. HPUD set 14 water meters and inspected 17 sewer hookups in March, Cardwell said. The district treated 216.7 million gallons of water and 325.2 million gallons of

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Coiling technique repairs woman’s aneurysm technique to stop the blood ﬂow from the ruptured blood vessel. “Dr. Woodward explained that he could go up through my groin to ﬁx the artery in

Lynda Miller knows she’s lucky to be alive. When an aneurysm suddenly burst in the Campbell County woman’s brain one morning last November, the odds that she would survive were strongly stacked against her. An aneurysm is a weakness in the wall of an artery that begins to bulge over time. When an aneurysm bursts, approximately one-fourth of people die before they even reach a hospital. The 57-year-old Miller didn’t know she had a ruptured aneurysm. “I woke up hurting and feeling bad, and a felt a little pop inside the back of my head,” she explains. “I felt like there was ﬂuid inside my head and my neck and shoulders tightened up.” Miller thought she had ruptured a disk in her neck and was hesitant to call an ambulance. “I waited 15 or 20 minutes and realized I’d never felt like this before.” Miller called an ambulance and was taken to a local hospital where a CT scan revealed a cerebral aneurysm had ruptured. Miller says fortunately, the aneurysm had already begun to clot. “Everyone I talk to says I should have been dead. I am so thankful every day that I survived and am still here to baby-sit my grandkids.” Miller was transferred to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville. There she met neurointerventional radiologist Dr. Keith Woodward, who specializes in repairing aneurysms. He is one of the few physicians in East Tennessee who uses a coiling

“Everyone I talk to says I should have been dead.” – Lynda Miller, aneurysm survivor my brain,” says Miller. “I had already had two heart caths, so I knew this would be easier than opening up my head.” Dr. Woodward used ﬁve platinum coils to repair Miller’s burst aneurysm. The location of a second aneurysm in Miller’s brain will require a future surgery through her skull to repair. She’s optimistic about the procedure. “I feel like the Lord had a reason for saving me and keeping me here.” Miller says she has experienced no side effects from the ruptured aneurysm. “I have no memory loss and never lost my ability to think.” Miller says she will return to Fort Sanders for her second aneurysm surgery. “I’ve had exceptional care there. Dr. Woodward was great and the nurses on the unit made me feel so special. I feel so fortunate.”

Aneurysm coiling The tiny blood vessels of the brain are under constant pressure. “Like a bald spot on a tire that eventually fails, the blood vessels in the brain can weaken and bulge,” says Dr. Keith Woodward, a neurointerventional radiologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Over time, they can rupture and bleed, whichmost often leads to stoke or death.” A bulging vessel in the brain is called a cerebral aneurysm. Often these look like a tiny berry hanging off the side of the vessel. Without warning or symptoms, the bulge can burst, causing bleeding into the brain called a stroke. According to the National Institutes of Health, ruptured cerebral aneurysms kill 25 percent of people within one day, and another 25 percent die within about three months. Of those who survive, about 25 percent will have some sort of permanent disability. Dr. Woodward treats about 100 cerebral aneurysms each year at Fort Sanders, most of which are found after a person has already had a rupture. A smaller percentage of aneurysms are found during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) tests for other health issues. “People get MRIs for other reasons, like ongoing headaches, and we ﬁnd the aneurysm. It’s not the cause of the headache, but an incidental ﬁnding,” explains Dr. Woodward. “Aneurysms are like ticking time bombs, or even nonticking time bombs, because there

are really no symptoms at all.” The good news is that many aneurysms can be treated with a nonsurgical technique called coil embolization, or “coiling,” that was approved about 16 years ago by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Woodward is one of only two physicians in the Knoxville area to treat aneurysms with this technique, and Fort Sanders offers the region’s most advanced facility for the procedure. Years ago, aneurysms could only be treated with open brain surgery which involves removing part of the skull to expose the bulging vessel and clamping off the damaged portion. But endovascular coiling does not require Dr. Keith Woodward (left) uses a 3-D bi-plane angiography system to any cutting through the skull.

The good, the bad, the Internet Dragon’s got a new home By Ruth White Internet scammers beware! The senior adults in the Heiskell community recently hosted Tammy Rolen with Frontier Communications and they are now more knowledgeable about Internet safety. “Internet safety doesn’t just involve children,” said Rolen, “adults are at risk too.” Adults are a growing population of Internet users and although it can be a wonderful tool for research, keeping in touch and shopping, scammers are just waiting to steal information and identities from unsuspecting people. Three steps to defending yourself if your Internet safety has been compromised is to first protect your computer through security software, back up files regularly to disk or external hard drive and if attacked, seek professional help immediately. Always keep personal information secure, including Social Security number, credit card numbers and mother’s maiden name. Only give this information to trusted sites and never to sites that pop up randomly on screen. Internet scams include phishing and pharming

and allow unwanted individuals to obtain personal information. Rolen advises individuals to protect their identity by monitoring their financial statements and credit reports, shred mail and documents, monitor postal mail, protect your Social Security number, and beware of shoulder surfing. Social networks are great ways to stay connected with family and friends, but too much information posted on these sites might lead to unnecessary theft. “Never post that you are heading out on vacation for a period of time

and never post personal information,” Rolen reminds the crowd. She also stated that it is best not to post information on the Internet that you wouldn’t want your neighbors, pastor or boss to read. “Once information is posted on the Internet, it’s out there for good.” If you are a victim of Internet fraud, Rolen advises that passwords to accounts should be changed, the credit card companies and bank should be notified, account numbers should be changed and that the incident should be reported quickly. “If it’s a deal that is too good to be true, it probably is.” The next meeting of the Heiskell seniors will be Thursday, May 10. Noelle Lewis with Edward Jones will be at the center discussing saving money, retirement and investing. The meeting and announcements begins at 11 a.m. with lunch following. Other important dates at the center include 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 28, selfdefense classes. Cost is $25 and payable at the door; Plant and rummage sale at the center, Saturday, May 5.
