Fountain City Road closure Beginning today, Fountain City Road will be closed from Dry Gap Pike to Flatwood Lane for about four weeks. All local access will still be permitted. The closure is necessary to facilitate the new alignment of Fountain City Road. A four-way signalized intersection will be created with Dry Gap Pike and Dante Road. During the closure, a detour of 1.5 miles will be provided via Rifle Range Road.

Merkel wins waterline contract By Sandra Clark

That’s absurd! David Hunter on the origins of pink flamingos and other oddities in new book

Merkel Brothers Construction Inc. was low bidder by $7,000 to win a contract from Hallsdale Powell Utility District to install a 20inch waterline from Union County to Halls. Merkel’s bid of $3,825,075 was accepted by the utility’s commissioners last week. The Greeneville-based company is expected to start work in May and be finished within a year. Robert G. Campbell, design engineer, said the work will be on one

side of Highway 33 with several cross-overs. “This project connects the water plant on Norris Lake to the system. It is the spine of your system,” he told commissioners. The 20-inch line will replace a hodgepodge of 8-, 10- and 12-inch lines. Campbell said the project was necessitated by the widening of Maynardville Highway, for which TDOT has acquired right-of-way. “We’ll get our work done and be out of their way,” he said.

HPUD financial officer James Smith said $769,000 of the cost will be funded by federal stimulus money and an estimated $1 million will be reimbursed by the state. Once the project is finished, HPUD can pull water from either Melton Hill or Norris lakes to serve its entire system. District officials were in Nashville over the weekend to accept an award for their wastewater treatment plant on Beaver Creek Drive. It was one of nine state awards, one in each of the state’s development districts.

HPUD has completed 58 months without a violation at the wastewater plant – a remarkable achievement considering the heavy rainfall this spring. In March, the district set 19 water meters and inspected 18 sewer hookups. CEO Darren Cardwell said he’s talking with Big Ridge State Park about tying onto the HPUD water system. The district’s next meeting is at 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 9.

By Betty Bean There was one new guy, one noshow and three familiar faces at the forum for mayoral candidates put on by University of Tennessee’s College Democrats and College Republicans last week. Moderator Gene Patterson asked the panel questions prepared by UT political science professor John Shebb. Ivan Harmon said he’s one of the people, for the people and will use a chunk of the city’s rainy day fund for operating expenses, and cut taxes by 5 percent if he gets elected mayor. He cited his experience chairing the county’s pension board and said he’s ready to face pension issues face-forward. (Fun fact: Harmon served three terms on City Council, two on County Commission and says he vastly prefers City Council.) Mark Padgett said Harmon’s idea could damage the city’s credit rating, and that Knoxville needs a CEO to bring in new jobs and businesses, and he’s the only candidate running who fits the bill. He said that the city’s pension fund is in more trouble than anybody admits because projections of future debt are being low-balled because they are based on an 8.5 percent expected growth rate, which isn’t happening. (Fun fact: Padgett says he crashed on friends’ couches for two years while he started up his software firm). Madeline Rogero also said Har-

Madeline Rogero, Mark Padgett, Ivan Harmon and Bo Bennett at the recent mayoral forum. Photo by Betty Bean mon’s suggestion to raid reserve funds and cut taxes would hurt the city’s bond rating, and that her aim is to make Knoxville the most livable, greenest city in the country, boost downtown and encourage public participation. The former two-term county commissioner said the city’s investment funds have increased by 16 percent over the last two years, making Padgett’s gloomy predictions off the mark. (Fun fact: Rogero’s last three bosses were Dolly Parton, Colin Powell and Bill Haslam.) Bo Bennett, who works for the E-911 call center and has a particular interest in fighting crime, labeled himself a community person. He wants to reform the city’s pension plans, and said he likes Harmon’s slogan and declared he wants to be

one of the people for the people, too. (Fun fact: Bennett reported $100.27 in campaign contributions for the most recent reporting period.) Marilyn Roddy had another engagement. The forum was cordial and polite, but there were a few hints of the direction the campaigns will take in the future – Padgett’s emphasis on business experience, Rogero’s declaration that the bottom line of government is service, unlike that of business, which is making money. Harmon said he doesn’t know a lot of rich people and plans to counteract his opponents’ hefty war chests with sweat and shoe leather campaigning, knocking on doors and asking each of his supporters to get him five votes.

Perhaps the biggest head scratcher of the night was Padgett’s endorsement of a downtown development project called Marble City, which will connect Market Square with the Old City and which Padgett ranked ahead of the Cumberland Avenue Project and the Magnolia Corridor as his top three projects. A check with city planning and policy chief Bill Lyons revealed that there is no Marble City Project. “Perhaps it’s Marble Alley, which is a concept that developer Buzz Goss has had. It’s intriguing, but there’s not a city project,” Lyons said. An audience of about 60 gathered in a law school lecture hall to watch the forum. Most of the audience appeared to be members of the media or affiliated with one of the candidates.

Peaches’ last act of love Everybody adored Peaches. The beloved boxer was a favorite in Sharon Roberts’ home on Cline Road in Halls. Peaches was particularly loved by Sharon’s son, Andrew Russell, who has autism.

Jake Mabe

Déjà vu all over again Last Tuesday marked 150 years since Confederate forces under Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard began the bombardment of Fort Sumter. The war of words between the North and South over “states rights” that had raged for 30 years had become a battle of blood and iron. As Morgan Freeman said to Jessica Tandy in “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Things ain’t changed all that much.” Today the Tea Party and its conservative comrades are again raising the states rights banner, although no one has shelled Fort Sumter – yet. Various historians are also busy reviving the canard that states rights was indeed the issue that cost the nation some 600,000 lives. Don’t believe it. No matter how revisionists spin it today, the fight was always about slavery. This, for example, is from the state of Mississippi’s “Declaration of Secession:” In the momentous step, which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course. Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery – the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These are the opening lines of Georgia’s proclamation: The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery. It’s hard to spin that plain language, but some do try. Anyway, welcome to the (usually) “no spin” ShopperNews. As usual we have some great features for you on pages A-6 and A-7 in all editions.

“Peaches and Andrew had been together through thick and thin,” says Sharon’s sister, Karen Sayne. “Peaches had been there to be his protector.” On April 9, Sharon walked over to Karen’s house to visit. She got a call no one wants to hear. Her house was on fire. And, as it turns out, Peaches began barking when the blaze broke out. Andrew’s father, Jimmy, heard the dog and went to get Andrew. Jimmy had to knock out a window, but he and Andrew got out safely, thanks to Peaches. “It was the last loving thing she did,” Karen says. “She gave up her life for him.” Peaches didn’t have a burn mark on her. But she’d been asphyxiated. Karen says that Sharon has lost everything. She’s staying in a motel, doing the best she can, having to be careful where she takes Andrew to stay because of his autism. “We’d like to say a special ‘thank you’ to the people from Rural/Metro who came out, to the fire marshal and his wife, and to the people who have given clothing to Sharon,” Karen says.

government Reporter’s notebook A host of Knox County media and political activists received emails last week from someone whose email address is jeffbaker. law. The writer of the email said that the League of Women Voters has endangered its tax-exempt status by having members appearing at County Commission and Metropolitan Planning Commission meetings in support of the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan, which was developed over a three-year period by a joint city/county taskforce but has not yet been approved. The email said, in part:

Betty Bean “When the League of Woman (sic) Voters spoke before County Commission and sent out an e-mail to its members asking them to call their County Commissioners telling them to vote for the Hillside Plan, was that the 501(c) (3) League, the 501(c)(4) League or another League?” As you may or may not be aware, there is an ongoing national debate regard-

Many such organizations have blurred the lines in an attempt to deceive those they are lobbying and the public. “I would be happy to send you a copy of the video, that has been sent to the proper authorities, from the Commission meeting where the League supporters are wearing their League buttons and lobbying Commission,” the email continued. Renee Hoyos, executive director of the Tennessee Clean Water Network, and Axel C. Ringe of the Harvey Broome Group of the Sierra Club received copies of Baker’s email, as well. ”Mr. Baker, although selfidentified as a lawyer, apparently does not understand the federal rules governing

ignation to the date of the special election which is preceded by a primary for the Democrats and Republicans. It is a heavily Republican district, so the party makeup in the Senate is not likely to change. However, current House members can run for it in the special election without losing their House seat if they do not succeed. This is a chance for Bill Dunn or Harry Brooks to move to the Senate. It is a chance for Marilyn Roddy or Madeline Rogero to move out of the mayor’s race and run for senator as a Democrat or Republican if they wish. Mark Padgett and Ivan Harmon live in the Stacey Campfield Senate district and are not eligible. However, speculation will center on several contenders, some of whom

On the ‘cutting edge’ It’s been fashionable for a while now to blame most if not of all of society’s ills on “big government.” From Nashville, Washington and Knox County we hear that government is too big, that it intrudes far too deeply into our lives and that the only solution is to cut, cut and cut again. While only a fiscal moron could ignore the looming catastrophe posed by the national debt, when you scale down the cutting mantra to the local level, the attitude with which it’s received depends upon whose ox is being gored. Mayor Tim Burchett has repeatedly vowed to cut the size of county government, but so far his administration has been vague on specifics. So, let’s talk specifics. If you’ve heard the names of James McMillan or Laura Cole there’s a good chance

Larry Van Guilder

you’ve heard some of their horror stories. Both McMillan and Cole own property that has suffered because of lax codes enforcement. Their streams and wells have been fouled by runoff from shoddy neighboring developments. McMillan and Cole may have been the most vocal critics of the county’s soso enforcement efforts, but they’re not alone. And, giving codes officials the benefit of the doubt, it’s glaringly apparent that the problem is less one of the will than of the means – there aren’t enough inspectors to go

around. Now, the cynics among you may retort, “Who needs inspectors when there’s no development going on around here?” Oh, ye of little faith. Remember that while one hand is wielding the ax that cuts government down to size, the other is stimulating private investment since fewer of your hard-earned dollars are going to support big government. Well, that’s the theory, at least. But now we run smack into a conundrum as it applies to codes enforcement. If cutting back the size of government stimulates the economy and development takes off, won’t we need even more inspectors? And how, pray tell, are we to simultaneously cut and add? That’s a head-scratcher, but if you haven’t already spotted the hole in the ar-

nonprofit corporations. The Sierra Club, as do the other citizen organizations targeted in his misinformed attack, has every right under the

law to express its opinions on matters of concern to its constituents, on every level of government – be it local, state or federal. We object strongly to Mr. Baker’s attempt to smear our organization and others in an apparent campaign to influence the County Commission’s and City Council’s deliberations on the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan,” Ringe said. Hoyos said that the TCRN carries an “H” exemption from the Internal Revenue Service that allows lobbying up to a certain percentage of resources. The Sierra Club has a 501(c)(4) that does allow lobbying. Jeff Baker did not respond to requests for more information, and a check of the Tennessee Bar Association’s online records showed two Jeffrey Bakers, one in Rutherford County

and another with an inactive license. Mayoral candidates did some politicking last week at a forum held at the University of Tennessee. History, however, is not on their side. Former Mayor Victor Ashe probably made the strongest push for student votes in a mayoral election. “The potential is huge. The reality is small,” Ashe said. “I tried hard on my first and second mayoral race to register students. I got over 800 registered in 1987 and about 80 voted.” One student in the audience last week probably illustrates the candidates’ problem. When asked if any candidate had impressed him, he said he liked Mark Padgett’s delivery. When asked if he planned to vote, he said he is registered in Nashville.

may or may not live in the district. Names like Rob Frost, Harry Tindell, Wayne Ritchie, Phyllis Severance, Amy Broyles, Cortney Piper, Nick Pavlis, David Wright, Joe Bailey, Duane Grieve and R. Larry Smith come to mind as potential candidates in addition to Brooks, Dunn, Roddy or Rogero. Ryan Haynes and Steve Hall do not live in the district, and Haynes is not eligible due to his age. The list will be endless for a few weeks until the dust settles. This means Knox County has two new senators in less than one year and Campfield will be the county’s senior senator. Lt. Gov Ron Ramsey will appoint a new speaker pro tem. Which Republican will get it? The primary is likely to occur in late July or early August with the general elec-

tion run off in September. Voter turnout will be sparse. A few thousand votes will determine the next senator for one year and two months. Knoxville has lost an able senator who was only the second woman to represent Knox County in the state Senate in history. (Editor’s note: Victor’s mom was the first.) Woodson was a “go-to” person. She was a calming influence in occasionally turbulent waters. Gov. Haslam will likely serve two terms, until 2018, unless he is picked to be a vice presidential candidate in 2012 or 2016 and is elected. Woodson could still reenter the political arena in a few years, and as she travels the state she will develop contacts for the post-Haslam era. No Knoxville senator has resigned since March 1984.

It is good to know she continues to help on public issues. I also suspect she felt her opportunities for political advancement for the short term were slim. There is not an open U.S. Senate seat or Congressional seat. When the opportunity to promote education on a full time basis came along, it was a natural fit for Woodson, and she is taking it. I suspect Tennesseans will still hear from and about her in the public arena in years to come. Note: Vice Mayor Joe Bailey has told friends that he and his family may move to Washington where he works several weeks a month as a lobbyist after his term as vice mayor and city council member ends this December. He works with former U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp.

gument, I’ll hand it to you. While it might not seem so, “cutting” Knox County government can only hurt the local economy in the short run as people formerly employed join the ranks of the unemployed. But, more to the point, without a local sales tax or property tax decrease, no matter how much Team Burchett thins the herd at the City County Building, you and I have no more money than ever to spend. Here’s where we’re heading: ideologically-driven cutting of local government during a recession is more hazardous than helpful to the local economy. Is there waste in local government? No doubt. Are there efficiencies to be had? Always. But prudence, not political philosophy, should rule. In a few weeks the mayor will present his first budget. Will the hand that holds the knife tremble, or will it cut to the bone?

Fast movement on Carter project Tim Burchett needs a win, but can it come from his efforts to build a new school for Carter Elementary? Background: Burchett did not create this mess. He’s simply trying to fulfill a promise made but never funded by his predecessor, Mike Ragsdale. The school board budgeted $5 million in their capital plan to renovate at Carter and build a new gym. Commissioner Dave Wright convinced County Commission to delete funds for Carter, hoping instead for a new building on land already owned by Knox County.

Sandra Clark

Burchett then proposed a lease/purchase deal and got the county’s Industrial Development Board to request proposals. The IDB got six, ranging from $12 million to $16 million for a school for 750. What’s next? Knox County Purchasing Director Hugh Holt said Friday that the proposals have

been “short-listed” and interviews with finalists set for this week. He expects a selection by month’s end. All this occurs outside of public scrutiny, Holt said, by custom of the county’s purchasing department and is permitted by state law. He said private citizens agreed to serve on the evaluation committee after assurance that they would not be comparing proposals under the lights of media. Seems odd for an administration that values transparency, but there it is. Holt said after the selection, all the proposals will be made public and there

HonorAir flies again By Joe Rector During the early morning hours of April 13, McGheeTyson Airport was bustling in preparation for the ninth HonorAir flight to Washington, D.C. This one was special because veterans from the Korean War were included for the first time. It also marked the day when 1,000 East Tennessee veterans have made trips to view the memorials in the nation’s capitol. This flight included 129 veterans and 41 volunteer escorts, as well as several other volunteers. Even the customer service staff at the airport pitched in to make the day successful. Before departing, soldiers were divided into small groups and their pictures were taken by Tech. Sgt. David Knable of the Tennessee National Guard. They assembled at the airport and were greeted by Eddie Mannis, president of Prestige Cleaners and chair of HonorAir Knoxville. Knoxville Mayor Daniel Brown thanked the veterans for their service. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said the moment was bittersweet for him: his father was one of the veterans who taken earlier tour and has since passed away. “I owe you so much because everything that I am or will be is possible because of the sacrifices that you made for this country,” Burchett said. The mayors jointly proclaimed April 13 as HonorAir Day. The plane landed in Washington at 10:45 a.m., and the group began a day of touring such places as the World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Marine and Air Force memorials. They also saw the changing of the guard at the tomb of the Unknowns and drove past the Navy Memorial. Veterans will also receive copies of a DVD that includes footage of their daylong trip. For most of the soldiers, the trip was the first time they had seen these places that

will be three public meetings to vet the winner: first by the IDB on May 10, then by the school board, then by County Commission. The commission will vote April 25 on a Memorandum of Agreement with the IDB to reimburse its expenses for this process. County Finance Director John Troyer says the proposals will be evaluated on two tracks: the cost of construction and the cost of financing. Some have estimated a payback as high as $22 million. Troyer hopes the payback can be deferred until the building is constructed and accepted by the school board. Hugh Holt wants this to work. His wife’s family lives

DREAM #277: Checking that helps balance my life

The hearty welcome as veterans returned to Knoxville touched Cres Fowler. Smoky Mountains played patriotic music as friends and family waved flags. More than 1,000 well-wishers packed the airport, shaking veterans’ hands and thanking them for their service to the country.

‘From here to absurdity’ PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

Hunter finds the hilarity of ironic oddities in new book

avid Hunter says an author’s 16th book isn’t near as exciting as when the first or second one rolls off the press. An old friend, writer Deborah Adams, who along with Justine Veatch has decided to begin publishing books unique to the market, told David she likes his essays and wanted a nonfiction book on any topic. David picked a favorite theme – absurdity. The resulting tome, “From Here to Absurdity,” will be published next month. The first thing that popped into David’s mind was a pink flamingo. He’d seen many of the plastic ornaments propped up in people’s yards virtually his entire life. Turns out the common staple of yard art was originally designed by a man who’d never seen a pink flamingo (Don Featherstone) in an area of the country (Worchester County, Mass.) in which none can live. Featherstone was a struggling artist looking for extra money when he went to work for Union Products in the late 1950s. Somebody asked him if he could sculpt a plastic pink flamingo. He found a National Geographic and a few books for reference and created two flamingos – one with its head held up, the other with its head bent down. Art Deco

was all the rage, so the flamingos were painted pink. Lightning struck. From the time the first one sold until 2004, more than 20 million of the official Featherstone flamingos found their way onto lawns everywhere. And that’s not even counting the knockoffs. “There are probably more pink flamingos in people’s yards than the entire flamingo population,” David says. Oh, he also found out that flamingos are actually white. “They get their color by what they eat.” Union Products stopped

“I write for the same reason a spider spins. I can’t help it.” – David Hunter producing the flamingos in the middle part of this decade. After the molds and intellectual rights were sold to a New York company, lo and behold, another outfit in Worcester County, Mass., bought them and is again cranking out the Featherstone flamingo. They sold for $3 through the 1960s. Now, they fetch $85 a pair. “Made by an artist who’d never seen one, in a place

where none could ever live. How ironic can you be?” Another chapter looks at the rise of “the ribbon people.” Somebody put a “spay and neuter” magnetic ribbon on the back of David’s car after he and wife Cheryl attended a Humane Society event. He didn’t notice until his daughter met him for breakfast the next day. David went digging and found out that the yellow ribbon has been a symbol of lost love for centuries. The Puritans, known mostly for monochrome in more ways than one, wore yellow sashes into battle during the American Revolution. “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” was a popular Civil War song among the cavalry. It was later the subject of a John Wayne film. New York Post writer Pete Hamill apparently wrote a column in 1971 called “Go-

ing Home,” about a convict released from prison who tells the college kids riding on a bus with him that if a yellow ribbon is tied to his gatepost when he gets home, he’s welcome to return. It was reprinted in Reader’s Digest the following year, shortly before James Earl Jones played the convict in an ABC-TV movie. Soon after, songwriters Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown registered a copyright for a song called “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree.” It became an international hit for the pop group Tony Orlando and Dawn. Hamillapparentlybrought suit against the songwriters after the song became a smash. They claimed they’d heard the story in the Army. “It was discovered that one form of the story was told in 1957 in a book on prison reform,” David says, “only the ribbon was white.” Hamill dropped his suit. Watergate conspirator Jeb Stuart Magruder’s wife put up yellow ribbons when he was released from prison in 1975. Family members of the Americans taken hostage in Iran in 1979 also adopted the image. It made comebacks during the first and second Gulf Wars. “But somebody realized that the yellow ribbon would have a limited market after the troops came home,” David says. “So some became camouflage colored.” And, then, everybody wanted a ribbon. David says he once spotted a car sporting four magnetic ribbons – one that just said “ribbon.” “In one generation, it went from being a national symbol to a cheap ad gimmick. That was the second chapter. Then I was on fire.” He writes about the ill-fated Civil War battle of the Crater, July 1864, Petersburg, Va. U.S. Lt. Col. Henry Pleasants came up with a unique way to

I have noticed since that day that many of the folks I encounter in my daily work – the poor, the marginally housed, and those who are experiencing homelessness – answer the perfunctory “How are you?” in the same way: “I am blessed.” I began listening for it, and realized that it was primarily among our African-American neighbors that I heard it. I ponder that fact, over and over again. The forebears of African-Americans were brought to CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton this country in chains and lived out their lives as property.

break the stalemate between the entrenched Federal and Confederate forces by digging a mine shaft underneath the Rebel lines and filling it with explosive charges. Long story made short, the darn thing blew, creating a 170-foot long, 120-foot wide crater. The hitch was that Gen. George Meade at the last minute ordered Gen. Ambrose Burnside not to use the black troops that had been trained to rush through the tunnel and attack the unsuspecting Confederates. Brig. Gen. James H. Ledlie, who was ordered to brief the replacement white troops, decided to get drunk instead. So, the replacements hesitated for about 10 minutes before attacking and became sitting ducks in the crater, creating what someone later called “a turkey shoot.” The Union suffered almost 3,800 casualties. Burnside became the scapegoat and was never given another command.

On and on it goes, chapters about potted meat and why David is a “failure” as a Southern male (“I’ve never owned a pickup truck and I don’t like beer”) and his discovery that eight Republican red states are among the top 10 consumers of pornography. (Utah is No. 1). Hunter hopes to have the book out by the third week of May. It will be available at local bookstores, through Amazon and Barnes and Noble online, and via eBook download. He isn’t sure what the next book will bring, but David Hunter knows one thing. As long as he can take a breath, he’ll be typing. “Most of us writers never make a lot of money and don’t expect to, but we go on doing it because that’s what we do.

The brown velvet voices of the slaves were lifted in song in the fields, to pass the time. They gathered at night around their cabins, when at last the day’s work was done, and there was a moment just to be. They sang their joys and their sorrows, their longing and their anguish. Because, somehow, deep in their souls, there shone a light that made them able to say, “I’m blessed.” This statement – every time I hear it – reminds me that I, too, am blessed. It makes me actively think about my blessings, to give thanks for them, to realize that I am a beloved child of God. It opens my heart and enables my hands to be more generous. It makes me feel rich, in all the ways that count. This is Holy Week, when we walk with our Lord through the valley of the shadow. As we make that journey through Jerusalem, into the Temple courtyard, kneeling in the Garden, standing with him before Pilate, pushing through the crowded streets, and trudging up Golgotha, let us remember the sorrow, to be sure. However, like the slaves whose souls were hollowed out by the augur of slavery, and yet were able to sing of their faith, let us also lay hold of the goodness of God. Like the Psalmist, we can say that our transgressions are forgiven and our sins are covered. Let us also look forward to the dawning of Easter, and the joyous and awesome truth that we are, all of us, blessed.

Malcolm Rice: a national treasure MALCOLM’S CORNER … | Malcolm Shell

alcolm Rice tops the list of my memories of Old Concord. Rice, originally from Connecticut, moved here from Washington, D.C., in the early 1950s, and after a brief stint with a local architectural firm became the Architect in Residence at the University of Tennessee. I got to know him through his son, Jack, who is one of my best friends. Not many people knew much about Rice when he moved here. We only knew that he was from up north, and although Washington, D.C., was not exactly the North, it was above Bristol, Tenn., and that was up north. He was quiet, unassuming; only later did we learn of his many accomplishments. He was a Yale University graduate and did his graduate work at the Sorbonne in Paris. He built a beautiful home on the lake reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Falling Water” in Michigan. Touring the home is like going through a museum where all the art was created by Rice and his wife, Helen. Beautiful wood carvings, posters, oil paintings and other fascinating items demonstrate the breadth of their talent. One memorable item is a large glass door where Rice created a collage of pictures, newspaper arti-

cles and other memorabilia of their lives together. Rice’s friends included President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was a guest at the White House several times during Roosevelt’s presidency, and among his collection is correspondence between the two. Among his many accomplishments was the design work he did on the Jefferson Memorial and several congressional office buildings in Washington. Helen Rice, who holds a master’s degree from Yale, met her future husband during their student years at Yale and was an accomplished artist in her own right. She created the famous Red Cross poster titled “Join Now” which was used to solicit contributions during World War II. They were an adventurous couple. They celebrated their honeymoon by buying motorcycles and traveling from Connecticut to California along Route 66. When they reached California, they sold their motorcycles and continued their adventure aboard Jack London’s yacht “Snark,” sailing up and down the West coast. When Rice came to UT, most of the area west of present-day Volunteer Boulevard was still residential, and he developed the master site plan and an architectur-

al model depicting the major buildings as he envisioned them. He was also involved in the design and oversight of the construction of most of the buildings that currently exist in that area. The presidential complex and the Frank McClung Museum on Circle Park Drive were among his works. When he developed the museum, there was some discussion among university administrators regarding the location of the beautiful bronze figure that adorns a spot near the stairway leading to the lower level. Some in the administration wanted it in the basement, but Rice insisted that it go in its present location so that it would be the first thing seen when visitors entered the museum. Perhaps the thing I remember most about Rice occurred when I was a student at UT. At that time his office was located next to the president’s office on The Hill, and I met him coming down the hill one day. We stopped and talked. He was truly concerned about me and asked if things were going well. I said they were, but I could use a part-time job, especially one that would allow time for studying. That evening I got a call from Ernie Robertson at the public relations department who asked if I would

Unforgettable football Vols TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

erek Dooley’s “Vol for Life” is a really good idea, an excellent sales pitch for recruiting, a splendid public relations slogan and a fine road map. The program centers on character education, life skills, career development and spiritual growth. A few years ago, Haywood and Gus wrote a book titled “Once a Vol, Always a Vol.” To me, that also meant Vol for life, once you are in, you are in for keeps. Family. Us and ours. In case of the occasional prodigal son, say a prayer but never give up. Here I go repeating myself, again sharing with you the facts of Tennessee football life. Volunteers really are forever. If you put

on pads and an orange shirt and do anything to help win a game, you are never forgotten. Guaranteed. I’m not talking about legends, Peyton Manning or Willie Gault or Steve Kiner or Eric Berry or Bob Johnson. Of course we remember them – and Hacksaw and the Swamp Rat and Johnny Mills and a hundred other famous names. This isn’t about All-Americans or the Hall of Fame. This is about Ray Martin, a halfback from Danville, Va., who picked off a Louisville pass at the goal line and returned it 100 yards for a Tennessee touchdown. That was 1953. Johnny Unitas threw it. The Vols won 59-6. Bobby Brengle, Spring City small-size tailback,

was another very interesting Volunteer of that era, the Harvey Robinson years. Bobby was an excellent punter, 42.5 average, and a nifty punt-returner. Good combo. Good man. Remember Charles Rader? He was the left tackle from Greeneville, backside protector of the famous tailback in the championship season of 1956? Rader was a genuine student-athlete, academic All-American, A average in chemistry. Sammy Burklow, fullback from Hazard, Ky., was high-point man in the 1957 Gator Bowl victory over Texas A&M and Paul “Bear” Bryant. Sammy kicked a field goal, 17 yards, first of his career.

imagine that the little village of Old Concord became the Rice family home. They might have chosen New York, Boston or even their home state of Connecticut to reside, but it was in keeping with their character to lead private lives, and Concord provided that privacy. Today, my friend Jack is enjoying his retirement and spends a lot of time with his newfound hobby of wood carving. To use a cliché, he told me he was “just a chip off the old block.” But his talent comes through in his remarkable work. We don’t get to see each other as much as we would like, but we do dine together occasionally at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church, where he and his wife, Carolyn, are involved in preparing Wednesday night dinners. But, when we are together, the conversation is highlighted by our remembrance of Old Concord and the great times we had growing up together.

from Athens, was involved in The Stop of LSU’s Billy Cannon at or near the goal line in 1959. Of course we remember Wayne Grubb. Ed Beard, Norfolk, Va., was second-team blocking back and linebacker behind Wayne Coleman in 1961. I recall Ed picking off a pass and roaring from midfield to a Tennessee touchdown. Alas, I also recall his dismissal for some minor transgression of team rules. A fan and friend purchased a bus ticket and Ed packed his stuff and moved on to the Wheeling, W.Va., Ironmen and from there to the San Francisco 49ers – and a terrific NFL career. I also remember the warm reception a couple of years ago when Beard returned to Big Orange Country, just showed up with a hundred other lettermen in the Lauricella Room at Neyland Stadium before a game. I’ll tell you what I told him, that I am almost certain he would have been an All-American if he hadn’t fractured curfew. Bob Zvolerin was left tackle on the 1963 team that

Dr. Youmans didn’t think it was a good idea but went about his work. “Sweat popped out on Boynton’s forehead but he didn’t say a word. When his arm looked almost normal again, he stood up and announced, ‘I reckon I’ll go back into the game. Are you going to wrap it up?’ ” No, we won’t forget John Boynton. I will not allow it. Best I recall, it was Carl Witherspoon who recovered the Arkansas fourth-quarter fumble that led to the 14-13 Tennessee triumph in the 1971 Liberty Bowl. Curt Watson scored the tying TD. George Hunt kicked the winning point. Razorbacks also remember. Lifetime Volunteers … so many … unforgettable. How about Xavier Mitchell? He made one of the big plays of 2006, stopping an Air Force two-pointer to save the game at 31-30. It seemed so important at the time. You do remember, don’t you?

finished November with shutout victories over Kentucky and Vanderbilt – in honor of outgoing coach Jim McDonald. Zvolerin is the only Vol with vol in his last name. OK, I have been accused of being partial to left tackles. John Boynton, Pikeville, left tackle, 1965-67, was one of the toughest guys in the history of Tennessee tough guys. He suffered an arm injury against Ole Miss in Memphis, came off the field and asked Ray Trail for a little help. “John came up to me on the sideline and said his arm was hurt. It was bent the wrong way at the elbow. It was awful, so bad it was almost sickening.” Coach Trail called for Bill Youmans. The team doctor said Boynton should go to the hospital for repairs. John asked why he couldn’t fi x it right there. The doctor said too painful, nobody could stand that. As Trail remembers, “John said he’d see about that. He invited the doctor to join him on the bench and do whatever was necessary.

Three hundred special memories are in Marvin West’s first book, “Tales of the Tennessee Vols.” Signed copies are available by mail from WESTCOM, P.O. Box 38 Maynardville, TN 37807. The cost is $20.

Bethel Baptist to visit Ukraine By Ruth White Bethel Baptist Church members hosted a golf tournament at Three Ridges Golf Course to help raise funds for the Friends of Ukraine mission team. Pastor Tim Inklebarger was part of a Ukraine mission project and the trip touched his heart. Inklebarger decided to take a group of 10 members on a trip this summer for a 10day experience that will change the lives of those involved. When the Soviet Union fell in the early 1990s, the project began with 22 churches reaching out to the people of the Ukraine. Today, more than 200 churches participate in church planting, Bible camps and reaching out into the villages. “The only barrier is the language,” said Inklebarger. “The people have open hearts to our message.” Anyone interested in helping the Friends of Ukraine touch lives through Bethel Baptist Church may contact Inklebarger at 6878331. The church is located at 8035 Clapps Chapel Road in Corryton.

faith

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, "Kim, it's time to come with me". With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say "Don't cry for me, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again someday". Greatly missed by all her family.

Shannondale to upgrade landscaping Students from the University of Tennessee’s Landscape Design Program collaborated with parents, teachers and students at Shannondale Elementary School to develop a landscape plan for the campus. The master plan was designed by Chase Kennedy, Jimmy Keller and Matt Edwards under the guidance of Menendez. The design will include features such as an outdoor classroom, rain gardens, window boxes, native plant walk and more. A grant from Lowe’s Tool Box for Education Program will help Shannondale’s

PTO implement the design over a period of seasons. “We want this to be more than just a school,” said Menendez. “We want people to come by and take ownership of the project.” The outdoor classroom will not only add beauty to the school campus but will provide a learning environment for students. The plan incorporates red and white flowers and plants in the front area of the school. Teachers suggested the colors because they are Shannondale colors and they want the area to be welcoming.

“The front of the school is the first and last thing that people see when they arrive,” said UT student Matt Edwards. Shannondale principal Dr. Joy Foster is excited about the changes to the campus. “The design is amazing,” she said, “and I’m very impressed with the work already planned.” This year’s school carnival will help benefit upgrades to the outdoor learning and play environments. The carnival will be held 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 29, on the school grounds. Garry Menendez, associate professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at UT, shows off the landscape master plan for Shannondale Elementary School. Photo by Ruth White

Gibbs Elementary School music teacher Mary Ruth McNatt was pleased to learn that she had received a grant from The Junior League of Knoxville and Covenant Health for her proposal “Music and Movement = Fitness and Fun”. The grant will help children discover fun and lifelong ways to add physical activities into their lives. Many new resources were purchased for the music room which will allow students opportunities to engage in activities such as folk dances from around the world, square dances, creative and expressive movement and a variety of pitched and non-pitched instruments. A requirement of the grant application was to partner with an entity connected to “Families in the Kitchen,” a program that promotes activities for getting family members involved in learning about good nutrition and healthy lifestyles. A portion of the money was used to partner with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital to provide students with a presentation and tasting demonstration. Students were asked to keep a journal of their

Inspiring students to do ‘big things’ By Ruth White Former Halls High teacher Gloria Stout believes that students at Halls High School are capable of doing big things in life and that they have limitless options. Her son, Randall Stout, is a prime example of living a dream. Randall Stout is a 1976 graduate of Halls High where he spent his time playing football and baseball, was class president for three years, was a member of the National Honor Society and Key Club, and was named Mr. Halls High his senior year. He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1981 with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and was chosen as one of the top students at the university in his class. After graduation, Stout moved to Houston where he worked as a project designer for seven years.

Stout earned his master’s from Rice University, where he met Frank Gehry, one of the top architects in the United States. Gehry offered Stout a position in his firm in California and Stout worked there as a senior associate for many years. In 1996, Stout established his own architecture firm where he continues as president and principal-incharge. He has received many national and international awards for his design work and has designed award-winning buildings in the United States, Europe and Canada. His projects have been featured in national publications and he has received rave reviews for his most outstanding art galleries – the Hunter Art Museum in Chattanooga, Taubman Art Museum in Roanoke, Va., and the Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada.

His parents, Roger and Gloria Stout, visited the Halls High campus to present two books of Randall’s work to the school library. Gloria Stout hopes to inspire students at Halls High to dream big dreams and believe that they are capable of doing wonderful things in life. Randall Stout’s success has come through passion for his work, dedication to excellence and respect for our natural environment.

Halls High senior Tucker Hunley passed his Eagle Board of Review in May 2010, officially becoming an Eagle Scout. He was honored in a special Court of Honor ceremony April 1. The trail to becoming an Eagle Scout is not an easy task but a rewarding accomplishment. Hunley was required to advance through the seven ranks of Scouting. Through the journey, he earned 12 Eagle-required merit badges and 11 elective merit badges including medicine, pioneering, orienteering, horsemanship, space exploration, climbing, canoeing, swimming, lifesaving, waterskiing, first aid, communication, athletics, environmental science and aviation. He served in required Troop leadership positions for a total of 16 months, spent 13 hours on troop service projects, completing more than 345 different requirements. Hunley’s Eagle Scout community service project benefitted the Halls High School Outdoor Classroom, where he and a team of volunteers constructed an informational kiosk for the facility. While working toward becoming an Eagle Scout, Hunley earned 23 merit badges and was elected to the Scout Honor Society of The Order of the Arrow. He earned the Triple Crown Award for attending the BSA high adventure bases of Sea Base in the Florida Keys, Philmont in Cimmeron, N.M., and The Northern Tier in Ely, Minn. He served in a youth leadership role for 11 days at the 100th an-

Teachers bring innovation to classroom By Ruth White Students today are growing up with technology at every turn. Long gone are the days of group instruction, worksheets and sitting in silence to finish work. These kids need to experiment, discuss ideas and engage with materials.

Gibbs Eagles Gibbs High has organized a club for students with a desire to teach and they get together once a month to learn effective teaching techniques as well as learning activities to use in a classroom setting. The

chapter’s purpose is to interest good students in becoming teachers; to explore the teaching field; to cultivate qualities of leadership, character and scholarship; and to bring greater understanding of the value of education in American society. The education coordinator for Anderson County Head Start, Ted Fletcher, met with the Gibbs chapter of the Future Teachers of America (FTA) and engaged them in new learning techniques. Participants were asked to draw a picture of The Future Teachers of America meets each month at Gibbs High School. Members include: (seated) a flashlight based on their understanding. president Madeline Hall; (standing) Sara Strozyk, historian Kimberly Gayle, secretary Michaela Ad- current ams and Taylor Venner. Not pictured are treasurer Lesley Fitch and vice president Cassidy Coffman. Some drawings were simple Photos by Ruth White while others detailed the in-

Students honored for top grades By Ruth White Students were honored at Gibbs High School last week with a special catered luncheon to celebrate their academic achievement. Those invited to enjoy delicious barbecue, sides and dessert were students who have kept a 3.5 or above grade point average during the school year. This year, 188 students were honored. Principal Lynn Hill believes that the luncheon is an opporHonor student Michae- tunity to show stula Adams is one of many dents that their good Gibbs High students grades haven’t gone honored for high aca- unnoticed and he endemic achievement. joys making a big deal out of the students’ success. With many students involved in sports and other activities, Hill decided to move the festivities to the day time and allow the students to miss their third block class. “Some students actually ask if they can go back to class after lunch,” said Hill, “because they don’t want to miss out on any class work.” Each student is recognized individually for their cumulative grade point average and received a certificate for their accomplishments.

ner workings of a flashlight. Fletcher asked the students to share their drawings with others and more understanding was gained as ideas were shared. Finally, Fletcher passed out flashlights to each participant and they were able to take them apart to learn how they worked. Through cooperative learning, students were able to discover and work together to learn and solve a problem. “Students learn more when a teacher engages the students and doesn’t just talk at them. The students are able to solve the problem themselves,” said Fletcher.

Who were those masked men? By Betty Bean Central High School seniors Andrew Spencer and Patrick Stambaugh just finished the most demanding and rewarding experience of their high school careers: sharing the leading role in the “Phantom of the Opera.”

Central Bobcats Not only did they share the role of the Phantom (all the major roles were multiply cast), but they helped build the sets under the supervision of director Beckye Thomas and did the choreography as well. They spent 14- to 16-hour days during their spring break capped off with nine shows plus a song performance under the hot sun at the Rossini Festival.

Once it was all over, however, they didn’t feel relieved. “We loved it,” Patrick said. “A hundred percent love,” Andrew confirmed. “That last day was pretty heartbreaking.” “Andrew had the role for the last performance and when he sang those final notes –“It’s over now, the music of the night, he hops into that trap door, we see each other and we’re like – It’s over. …” Patrick said. They are great admirers of Beckye Thomas. “She’s crazy, but you have to be. It wouldn’t happen without her insanity,” Patrick said. “She has such a passion. I’ve never seen in anybody,” Andrew said.

Last year they shared the “South Pacific” role of Emile de Becque with then-senior Aaron Bales. When the Bobcat Company did “Guys and Dolls,” Andrew was Nathan Detroit, Patrick was Sky Masterson. They both say Phantom, was the most demanding role of their careers. “Phantom was so huge,” Patrick said. “We had to extend our ranges and study it pretty endlessly; devote every minute to it.” Andrew: “We just had to become the role.” Patrick: “There were plenty of instances when we just fooled around onstage, walking around with the mask and scaring people.” Andrew: “You find yourself feeling ‘This was real. I

am this man who lives underneath the opera house.’ ” Patrick: “All the emotions that we portray are real when we are on the stage, except for the killing people part.” They’ve both been acting for a while – Patrick since his sophomore year when he joined the Bobcat Company, Andrew since he was in the 6th grade (he was in the “Music Man” back when his sister was in high school). Patrick is drawn to method acting, by which actors draw on their own emotions and memories to create roles, and admires Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp, whom Andrew cites as his favorite actor, as well. Serious as they are about acting, they also love to sing.

Central High School students Andrew Spencer and Patrick Stambaugh. Photo by B. Bean Andrew has trained his voice to sing everything from the lowest bass notes to the highest tenor and says he can’t imagine doing a theater piece and not singing. “They go hand-in-hand,” Patrick said. Patrick, whose parents are Melissa Ballew-Brown

and J.J. Stambaugh, is undecided about a college choice, wants to go into musical theater or set design. Andrew, son of Jamie and Gary Spencer, will study film at the University of Southern Illinois and wants to be a director. His favorite director is Steven Spielberg.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Knoxville man races ahead despite spinal injury Matthew PorterďŹ eld of Knoxville, 30, rolls through life at full speed. In a three-wheeled, 18-pound wheelchair, he competes nationally in road races and marathons. He was even a member of the U.S. Paralympic team in Brazil in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go to the Paralympics in London in 2012, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how that goes,â&#x20AC;? says PorterďŹ eld. He has been training about 10 hours a week for the April 18 Boston Marathon, for which he qualiďŹ ed in the Oita International Wheelchair Marathon in Japan in November. Describing himself as an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;adrenaline junky,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; PorterďŹ eld was always an athlete growing up and during his high school days at Knoxville Baptist Christian School. Shortly after his graduation in 1998, PorterďŹ eld had a life-altering accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had just turned 18, just graduated high school, and I was ready to hit the road,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was riding my dirt bike and tried to jump a pond. I landed on my head and broke my T-5 vertebrae.â&#x20AC;? The broken vertebra damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, it was difďŹ cult,â&#x20AC;? admits PorterďŹ eld, not one to dwell on the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you just â&#x20AC;Ś live.

IRC staff members, most of whom are volunteers interested in sports, ďŹ nd adaptive equipment for each person depending on their needs. They offer free advice and lessons in everything from rock climbing to golf. The IRC also sponsors many competitive events during the year so that people with disabilities have an opportunity to participate in a variety of sports events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got into waterskiing, SCUBA diving, basketball, hang gliding,â&#x20AC;? smiles PorterďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried just about everything you can think of. The wheelchair racing thing I got Matthew Porterfield of Knoxville into on my own. A friend of mine competes in wheelchair road races let me borrow his racing wheelchair around the world.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I live my life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adrenaline rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took off from just a challenge for me, and I like there. I started doing road races challenges.â&#x20AC;? around the area.â&#x20AC;?

of the Eskimo Escapades, a winter water ski charity event that raises money for IRC and other local charities. He also volunteers with the IRC and the Patricia Neal Rehab Center as a mentor, meeting with people who are dealing with a new spinal cord injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell them lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over; this is just another stepping stone for life,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are certain avenues you can take with your life now, things you can do. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got good support from family and everything, life can go on and you can have fun doing it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live a normal life, just in a wheelchair,â&#x20AC;? PorterďŹ eld explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy life, and I try to tell people to look at life positively. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change what happened, but you might as well live your life.â&#x20AC;? PorterďŹ eld recommends the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and the IRC to anyone who is dealing with a spinal cord or brain injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent program. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped me out quite a bit over the years, and the people there are just great.â&#x20AC;?

Innovative Recreation Cooperative:

Where rehab and fun meet

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every sport has a different safety level, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things we have to evaluate,â&#x20AC;? says Kaye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody who has brittle bones shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t probably water ski, or someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a brain injury might not be able to SCUBA because of safety issues.â&#x20AC;? Even if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide a sport thru the IRC, Kaye refers people to specialists around the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone says I want to hang glide, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually not something we can do with them, but we can refer them to someone who does,â&#x20AC;? he says. The IRC frequently works with people to teach them new

sports they might never have tried otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have folks whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never water skied in their lives, and they come out and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can do that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win situation,â&#x20AC;? Kaye says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to help individuals get back into life and then they give back to IRC and help others. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advocates for individuals with disabilities, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advocates for prevention, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Did you know that the color pink can turn your boy into a girl? Heaven forbid that you let that dastardly hue touch your boy child, or you’ll be courting a dreadful transformation from snakes, snails and puppy dog tales to sugar, spice and everything nice. Well, that’s what you would have thought last week if you paid attention to the media brouhaha surrounding a piece in J. Crew’s latest catalog showing Jenna Lyons, the clothing company’s president and creative director, with her 5-year-old son Beckett, whose toenails are painted pink. Pretty soon, editorials were calling the piece “transgendered child propaganda,” and similar poppycock. News flash, people. There’s a lot more to gender than a color. Painted toenails can no more make a boy a girl than wearing a ball cap can make a girl a boy. Why is it OK, even cute, for girls to be confirmed tomboys, but the minute a boy is caught doing anything remotely feminine it’s the end of the world? My boy plays with my makeup. He likes to brush my hair. He has a toy power screwdriver that he calls a hairdryer. He even has a (gasp!) pink teddy bear that he totes around the house. As I write this, the bear is in my car, in its own seatbelt, because Daniel likes it to be

moms101 safe when it rides along with us. Someone gave it to me, and he adopted it. All this from the same boy who loves cars and trains, thinks sticks are the greatest toy ever and says “Batter, batter, batter, swing!” when he plays with his T-ball set. I played Little League baseball. My best friend growing up was a boy. I had Star Wars figures, G.I. Joes and Barbies. These days, I’m pretty sure the fact that no one said to me, “Girls don’t do suchand-such,” has made me a more capable woman. In my college days, I was always the one my roommates called on to hammer a nail, venture into the spider-infested basement to flip the breaker and get the lawnmower started. Did any of that make me a man? Heck, no. So, even though being a sensitive guy not as socially acceptable as being a tough girl, I’m never going to tell Daniel that “Boys don’t do such-and-such,” and woe be unto anyone who does.
