Nancy Hall marker dedicated By Jake Mabe

‘Here’s to Tyler’ Betty Bean writes that Pat and Tyler Summitt’s stories have been “intertwined since the beginning.”

The ‘First Lady’ and The King

Forty years ago this month, on April 8, 1972, Janet Testerman Crossley, then the wife of Kyle Testerman, Knoxville’s city mayor at the time, was waiting at the bottom of an airplane’s steps at McGhee-Tyson Airport to put a Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis Aron Presley.

A marker was dedicated in a small ceremony April 22 at the Thomas Hall Cemetery on Rifle Range Road to Thomas’ wife, Nancy Hais Hall. The Halls arrived in the area just before Tennessee was admitted to the Union on June 1, 1796. Thomas Hall received a land grant in this area for his service in the Revolutionary War, during which he was taken prisoner by the British. At the ceremony, Thomas and Nancy’s great-great-great-greatgreat-grandson Barry Miller said the original marker erected by Hall descendants for Nancy in 1889 was destroyed by the ravages of time and neglect. Miller is also a member of the Thomas Hall Cemetery Group. “This is first class. This is really, really nice,” said County Commissioner R. Larry Smith, who helped clean the cemetery on several Saturdays. He also helped get the signs placed on Maynardville Highway at the top of Black Oak Ridge directing visitors to the cemetery’s location. A decade ago, Halls resident Billy Wallace showed ShopperNews publisher/editor Sandra Clark the neglected cemetery and said it should be renovated. The Halls Business and Professional Association and area Hall descendants signed a quitclaim deed on the property. In 2007, a handful of Hall

Descendants of Thomas and Nancy Hall stand behind the new marker dedicated to Nancy Hais Hall at the Thomas Hall Cemetery on Rifle Range Road on April 22. They are: Betty Harrington, Mary Belle Wilkerson, Barry Miller, David Hall, John Gresham, Jerry Gresham, Eleanor Miller and Peggy Beeler. Thomas Hall’s marker is beside Nancy’s. Photo by Jake Mabe descendants and concerned citizens, including the Halls Crossroads Women’s League, began planning and working diligently to restore the cemetery. Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution also helped. In November 2010, a historical monument purchased by the Women’s League was dedicated at the cemetery. Miller says that during the last two years, all known graves have been located

and marked with a monument. The Women’s League also provided funds for the fence that surrounds the cemetery. Nancy Hais Hall was born on Nov. 23, 1760. She married Thomas Hall in 1783 and lived in Orange County, N.C., before moving to what would become Halls Crossroads. She died in 1836. “In recent times, the saying ‘Halls Has It!’ has been used by the community,” Miller said. “I

By Betty Bean Fifty-five years ago, a long, tall drink of water from Powell Station named Leo Cooper was walking across the East Tennessee State College campus when the prettiest girl in the world came walking toward him. He proceeded to follow her. He wasted no time finding out that she was JoAnn Henson from Bluff City. “I proposed to her first time I ever saw her,” he said. “He was a senior and I was a freshman. He was a basketball player and I was homecoming queen. He saw me long before I saw him and he just chased me all over,” JoAnn said. “When he proposed to me, I laughed real hard because I had other boyfriends. A few months later, he said it’s them or me. And I made the right decision.” JoAnn laughs again

when asked if she’s ever been told that she looks a lot like Elizabeth Taylor. “Only hundreds of times,” Leo says. “One time we were in California and there was a Liz Taylor lookalike contest at this function we went to. I noticed everybody looking at her. …” JoAnn laughs again – “I never took much stock in that. I’m a behind-thescenes person all the way.” After college, the Coopers came back to Knoxville, became successful educators – Leo was principal of Gresham Middle School when he retired, JoAnn an art teacher at Halls and Powell high schools for a combined 24 years –had three children and built a spacious, art and mementofilled two-story log home in Halls. Leo spent 16 years as a County Commissioner and for nine of those years

JoAnn cannot remember attending a single County Commission meeting during that time. In between those careers, Leo had a successful run as a restaurant owner and JoAnn as the proprietor of Trunk Treasures, a shop that sold art and highend home décor. Their two surviving children, Leo Jr. and Kristy

have often wondered what ‘it’ is. I would personally like to think that ‘it’ is the spirit of service to God, family and country that Nancy and Thomas exhibited by the way they lived their lives.” As the meeting adjourned, somebody said they felt like the spirit of the late Virginia “Ginny” Sharp, who helped spearhead the cemetery marker’s purchase for the Halls Women’s League, was very much present at the ceremony.

Carter, are both elementary school teachers (Kristy teaches 2nd grade at Corryton, Leo Jr. teaches 5th grade at Fountain City). Kristy has two children, Casey Carter McManaman and Donnie Carter, a math whiz who has been accepted into the L&N STEM Academy. Casey has presented the Coopers with their first great-grandchild, 3-year-old Leah FaNee. Leo Jr. and his wife, Dr. Beth Cooper, have two children, Leo James “Trey” Cooper III and Marli, who are 9 and 5, respectively. Little Leah FaNee is named for the Cooper’s eldest child, FaNee, who died in a car crash March 7, 1977, when she was 17. It is the tragedy of the Coopers’ life, and JoAnn’s eyes mist over when she speaks about it. FaNee’s portrait hangs on the wall above a painting of a field of daisies, FaNee’s favorite flower. She inherited a goodly share of her mother’s artistic talent. JoAnn’s retirement years have been busy and productive ones because she has had the time to pursue her own art, rather than teaching students and raising children. She is a gifted watercolorist who loves nostalgic, whimsical subjects, like the 1949 8N Ford tractor that Leo restored, and which she has immortalized in a framed painting and (along with an assortment of other work) on bright, original note cards that are digital cop-

ies of a dozen or so watercolors. “I enjoy just giving them away,” she said. “I have people telling me I need to make this a business, but I just want to enjoy and share. It’s just something I can do that people enjoy. “I loved my teenagers, oh my goodness. I run into former students all the time. But in between teaching, raising kids, helping raise four grandchildren, finally, I have some time. I volunteer at the Fountain City Art Center and take a watercolor class. I’m really enjoying being with a class of artists. Mary Baumgartner is my teacher, and oh, my, she has such a world of experience that I just take every opportunity to grasp.” Leo says he doesn’t much miss politics, except for the associations, and keeps busy with his roses and with restoring JoAnn’s father’s 1952 Chevrolet with the assistance of one of JoAnn’s Halls High School students, Mike Bossenau. There’s a lipstick red ’65 Mustang fastback in the other side of the garage and a pile of children’s bikes and toys out in the carport. All in all, the Coopers are having a happy, productive retirement. “It’s been a wonderful life,” Leo said. “Jo is my best friend and is very, very kind. She didn’t marry me for money – I can tell you that. It’s been a 55-year love affair.”

A sector plan includes 15year land use, community facilities and transportation plans. The document is used in making recommendations for zoning and capital improvements.

‘Acting’ their age Charlie Stevens calls the Silver Stage Players, “a bunch of senior citizens that have gone completely bananas.” Don’t let him fool ya. The group is made up of actors of various degrees of experience, all aged 50 or older. They present original productions based on issues seniors face on a daily basis, like depression after retirement, for example, or the demeaning way in which younger people sometimes talk to them. “It’s for anybody over 50,” Charlie says. “And you don’t have to act. You can help behind the scenes.” His wife, Jeanette, says one member has performed in plays in Knoxville and in New York. Others, like the Stevenses, had no prior acting experience. Another goal is to give seniors interested in acting the realization that they don’t have to fake younger parts. “We say, ‘Lets act our age,’ ” Jeanette says. It is the only senior citizens acting group in the state that solely performs original works, she says. The idea to incorporate parts of Shakespeare in their upcoming show, “Move Over, Romeo and Juliet, Here Comes the Greybeards,” which will be presented at 1 p.m. Friday, May 4, at the John T. O’Connor Senior Center, came while watching the six-week DVD presentation by the Royal Shakespeare Company. “And we said, ‘Shoot, maybe we should try to do some Shakespeare.’ ” The crux of the play has several of the Bard’s

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS best characters serving as Shakespeare’s muses. “We (the muses) suggest he write plays for seniors,” Jeanette says. “It’s a lot of fun, but when we do the actual speeches, we try to do the best we can.” The Silver Stage Players are trying to raise money to perform at the USA Senior Theatre Conference in New Orleans. Also, a filmmaker with Tuscarora Films is producing a documentary about the group. Friday’s performance will be the group’s 74th play. The Northside Kiwanis Club meets at noon Wednesdays at The Foundry. ■

‘The best day we’ve had in 22 years’

Boy, howdy. If you weren’t at Lost and Found Records on National Record Store Day (April 21), you missed it. Maria Armstrong, who owns the North Knoxville business with her husband, Mike, says, “It was the best day we’ve had in 22 years.

Ralph Harness (at right) introduces new Northside Kiwanis Club member Jason Elkin last Wednesday. Jeanette and Charlie Stevens demonstrate a “sword fight” for the Northside Kiwanis Club at The Foundry last Wednesday. They and the Silver Stage Players will present “Move Over, Romeo and Juliet, Here Comes the Greybeards,” an original play based on the Bard’s works that addresses senior issues, at 1 p.m. Friday, May 4, at the O’Connor Senior Center.

We’ve had months that weren’t as busy as that day.” The crowd spilled out into the parking lot next to the store’s location at 3710 N. Broadway all day long. Tim Lee, a longtime store fan and musician with the Tim Lee Three, stayed up all night the evening before the big day to prepare barbecue and give it away for free. Beer for those 21 and older and coffee were both donated, Maria says. Several bands performed live. “And there wasn’t a soul (who came through that door) that didn’t buy something. They are good people. We have some of the best, best people as customers. They want to keep us here.” Mike and Maria originally ran the business out of their house. They had a brick-and-mortar store on

Kingston Pike for several years and opened across the street from the store’s current location in the mid-2000s. Heavy flooding forced a move to a standalone house on Broadway. Maria says the flood turned out to be “the best thing that ever happened.” So, if you’re into vinyl (and, like a friend says, “Wax is where it’s at!”), drop by Lost and Found sometime and tell ’em Jake from the Shopper sent ya. They sell CDs and turntables, too, and can talk to you about record collections with which you may want to part or a particular album you’re trying to find. Yeah, I spent some money myself. I finally bought

GOSSIP AND LIES

Both women motored to Greeneville last Thursday to address the TVA board of directors. During an intermission, board chair Bill Sansom spoke with them and seemed to listen. On the other hand, he did not agree to or decline their request for a meeting. Knowing both women, as well as Sansom, I would encourage him to meet with them at some point regardless of what the TVA legal office and public relations staff tell him. Sansom is a public official confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He has previously been state Commissioner of Finance and Transportation for Gov. Lamar Alexander. He knows public issues and this is not one to go away. In fact, it is costing TVA precious public support the longer their arrogant approach prevails. Sansom lives on Duncan Road, less than three miles from Van Meter and Jarrard. Former liberal activist Neil McBride (now a TVA board member) also lives in the Knoxville area (Oak Ridge). Both owe it to their neighbors to meet with them and hear them out. Free Speech: Meanwhile, a TVA action designed to curb free expression winds it way through federal court in Judge Thomas Phillips’ court over dress codes which TVA requires to attend its public hearings. It was filed by attorney Chris Irwin, who was barred when he attempted to attend a TVA meeting with red paint on part of his face. Four TVA attorneys – Ralph Rodgers, Harriet Cooper, Maria Gillen and Jodie Birdwell – are handling this case which would seem to be overkill. Thousands of dollars are being spent to enforce and defend this dress code when it really should not matter what one wears to a public hearing as long as he is wearing clothes. One’s dress can be an expression

Charlie Severance wins again One song, “Achy Breaky Heart,” made Billy Ray Cyrus a temporary millionaire. Buster Douglas, 42-1 underdog, knocked out Mike Tyson, and, for a few wonderful weeks was heavyweight champion of the boxing world. Charlie Severance, reserve wingback, was in the exact right place at the right time and put hard hat and pads to LSU superstar Billy Cannon a foot or two from the goal on Shields-WatCharlie Severance kins Field. That one is forever. Photo circa 1980 What then seemed to be just a timely gang tackle in the 1959 homecoming game on a cold November Saturday eventually evolved into The Stop, the most famous defensive play in the history of Tennessee football. Severance had help – Wayne Grubb and Bill Majors. Other plays and players – Jim Cartwright, Neyle Sollee and Jack Kile come to mind – were also key factors in the upset of the top-ranked Tigers. The Volunteer victory, a sizable surprise, was the highlight of what became a mediocre season. LSU was good. It dominated Tennessee statistically and closed to 14-13 with a touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter. Defending national champions do not kick an extra point to tie. They use the new rule and go for two to take the lead. Cannon, on his way to the Heisman Trophy, got the ball on a predictable pitch-slant that had been previewed and diagramed in the newspaper that week. The Vols, properly coached, were waiting. Grubb got Cannon by the ankles. Severance, up close like a linebacker, applied a robust bear hug. Majors came over the top. Cannon thought sure he had reached the goal. Not so declared the Vols – and head linesman Bob King. LSU had three later possessions without success. Tennessee celebrated.

Marvin West

Over time, The Stop developed a life of its own and changed Severance’s life. For 53 years, Tennessee fans have reached out to shake his hand and say “I was there.” “If all who say they saw the game had actually been there, the crowd would have been 200,000,” says Severance with a big smile. Gus Manning estimated attendance at 47,000. Charlie has had a lot of fun with his part of The Stop. He has been to Baton Rouge several times for social and media events with Cannon. He introduced Billy’s speech at the Knoxville Quarterback Club. They are good together. “I made it, without a doubt.” “You did not, have not and will not.” Charlie Severance was not a onehit wonder. He was a star at Central High in the Dan Boring era. He earned a UT degree in transportation and finance. He married well (Phyllis) and remains active in a sales career. He was a state representative, 16th district, for seven terms, always responsible for introducing other famous athletes who came to visit government. Charlie was a good golfer, softball slugger and grouse hunter. He still enjoys the fellowship of a hunting camp. He is an entertaining storyteller. He has hundreds of friends who still want to talk about The Stop. It was his defining moment. It is a marvelous memory, to be applauded again this summer when he is inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. “I was blessed to wear the Orange. I was blessed to grow up here and get to play before home folk. I was blessed to be part of that particular play.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

‘Whatever it takes’ Last spring when Parker Wormsley committed to play baseball at the University of Tennessee, he gave an early glimpse of his grit. “I told ’em I’d do whatever it takes (to get to play),” the multiposition player, who was a Louisville Slugger All-American in that role at Webb School of Knoxville, told reporters. He was true to his word. When Wormsley, now a freshman at UT, was asked to switch from his normal second base or shortstop positions and play first base for the first time in his life, he didn’t flinch. “When I was asked to play first base, I was surprised,” Wormsley says. “But I saw it as an opportunity to play and work hard. The biggest challenge is the different angles (from what you see at second base or shortstop) and knowing the situational stuff, knowing what to do on every play.” As of my deadline last Wednesday, Wormsley’s stats for the season are a .311 batting average in 45 at-bats, with five

runs, 14 hits, four RBI and a .426 on-base percentage. He also pitched in high school, was a quarterback on the football team and played basketball through the 8th grade. But, he says baseball is his first love. He says he was all the time throwing up a ball and hitting it, retrieving it and hitting it again, by himself. He watched his brother Jordan play SEC baseball at Vanderbilt. And he calls his first season with the Diamond Vols “a great experience.” “We’ve had our ups and downs, both myself and the team, but we’re working hard. The SEC is the best conference in the nation and it’s a blessing and a privilege to play with this team, for this coaching staff and in my hometown.”

He has three favorite memories he’ll forever remember from his freshman year. “Beating Kentucky when they were going for the unbeaten streak record on a Friday night in front of a good crowd. And beating Florida and South Carolina, which were the last two teams standing last year.” Other than learning first base, he says his biggest challenge has been getting used to a longer season. “I’m not a big guy (5-11, 165 pounds) and the grind of the season wears down your body. So, I’m working hard to stay strong and healthy.” He says the team’s goal is to get to Hoover, Ala., and play in the SEC Tournament, something the Vols have not done since 2007. He says playing for first-year coach Dave Serrano has been great. “I knew when I signed they might possibly be having a coaching change, but that wasn’t a big deal and didn’t factor into my decision. But coming here and playing for one of the best coaching staffs in the nation. … (Serrano) is doing it the right way and wants us to do it the right way, whether that’s in academics or on the field.” He says he wants to be “the best teammate I can be and work hard for myself and my teammates.” Well, just look at that switch to first base. Take this to the bank: Parker Wormsley will do whatever it takes. ■

‘JD’ and feathers at County Commission

By now, you may have heard about “John Denver” and feathers at County Commission last Monday. Well, here’s my two cents about it, and trust me, it is worth much less than that: I’ve always thought the best way to make an important point is in a lighthearted, entertaining, satirical kind of way. Case in point: bigotry, Archie Bunker and “All in the Family.” Plus, life is just too darn short to take yourself too seriously. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe.blogspot. com.

A signed 45 RPM single of “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and a photo of Janet Testerman Crossley, Elvis Presley and Kyle Testerman before Elvis’s second Knoxville concert on March 15, 1974, at Stokely Athletic Center.

The April 9, 1972, front page of the Knoxville News Sentinel, autographed by Elvis to Janet. The story was written by Jan Maxwell (Avent).

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

The day Knoxville’s first lady met The King Editor’s Note: This story is a follow up to Jake Mabe’s April 2 story on Elvis Presley’s first concert appearance in Knoxville. She calls it a whirlwind, the day Knoxville’s former First Lady met The King. Forty years ago this month, on April 8, 1972, Janet Testerman Crossley, then the wife of Kyle Testerman, Knoxville’s city mayor at the time, was waiting at the bottom of an airplane’s steps at McGhee-Tyson Airport to put a Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis Aron Presley. It was something of a coup, Crossley says, that she was there at all. She gives the credit to former city of Knoxville safety director Duane Aussetts, who worked with Elvis’ legendary manager, Col. Tom Parker, to make sure the Testermans met The King. Down Elvis came, wearing his trademark Superfly sunglasses and a wine-colored suede leather knee-length coat with matching pants. “He was very friendly,” Crossley says, “just exactly

what you thought he was. He was very dynamic and spoke to everybody. I’d have taken him right home! I couldn’t believe we could meet him.” Few did. In a front page story in the following day’s Knoxville News Sentinel, writer Jan Maxwell (Avent) wrote that fans were not allowed past the airport gate. Elvis told Maxwell he would never pose for a magazine centerfold, adding “Burt Reynolds has a lot of guts.” (A woman identified as “Mrs. Jack Cupp” got a kiss from Elvis at the airport and told Maxwell she’d never wash her face again.) News Sentinel photographer Dave Carter captured Crossley putting the Dogwood Arts Festival pin on Elvis’s lapel. She has the photo framed and displayed in her home, along with photos of her with other celebrities of the period, as well as a copy of the Page One News Sentinel story, which Elvis later autographed. Elvis was in town that day as the headline entertainer for the Festival, performing matinee and evening perfor-

Looking back on her political life, Crossley says she grew to love it. “You meet people you’d never otherwise meet and we had supporters that gave their all and were so sincere.” But of all the highlights, and of all the people she met (including Nancy Reagan and President Gerald R. Ford), Crossley says the day she met The King tops it all. “It really was the highlight of my political life. I still have the dress I wore.” Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com.

‘Here’s to Tyler’ she and her recruiting coordinator, Mickie DeMoss, were up in Pennsylvania wooing prize point guard Michelle Marciniak when Pat went into labor right there in the Marciniaks’s living room. She and DeMoss wrapped up the visit, hustled back to their plane and booked it for Tennessee as the contractions came closer and harder. Somewhere over Virginia, the pilot decided it was time to land. Like that was going to happen. Pat Summitt’s baby was going to be born in Tennessee. She gritted her teeth all the way to Knoxville and the day after he was born she and her husband, R.B., held a press conference to introduce him. There was a basketball on her hospital bed next to him. The following April, the Tennessee women beat the Virginia women for that 1991 championship. A few weeks later Tyler was there when the team went to Nashville to be honored by Gov. Ned McWherter and the General Assembly – a tiny tyke with fringe of ginger hair and an orange pacifier who was being passed around by a bunch of tall, well-toned surrogate moms. When he got a little older, he’d pick a player to be his special “girlfriend” every season. Tiffani Johnson, Kellie Jolly, Chamique Holdsclaw, Michelle Snow – the boy had eclectic tastes. I got to know him in the fall of 1997, and started asking him for his pre-game predictions and keys to every home game. He always gave the question solemn consideration before forecasting a Tennessee victory. He was pretty prophetic, since that was the year the Holdsclaw/ Catchings/Randall-led team went 39-0. And he was for sure his mother’s son – his keys were always rebounding and boxing out. He was impeccably polite and incredibly cute, a natural-born charmer. Often as not, other kids would spot him sitting courtside after a game and start lining up for autographs. He’d whip out a

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt appears at a news conference with her son, Tyler, on April 19.

Summitt is now the head coach emeritus and former assistant Holly Warlick is the head coach. AP Photo/Wade Payne Sharpie and oblige every one of them. The following year, the Meek era ended with a dreadful, dreary disappointment in the Elite Eight in Greensboro where Duke ground out a victory and denied the Tennessee seniors an unprecedented four-peat. They were inconsolable, but Tyler tried his best, hugging Holdsclaw on the sidelines as she sobbed. The next year or so, he made a couple of news stories in Rustin, La., when he decided he had heard enough from some Louisiana Tech fans who were heckling his mom. Somebody stopped him before he could climb up into the bleachers, but he was ready to open a can of Tennessee Whupass on a bunch of adults. The years rolled by and Tyler helped his mom cut down the nets five more times after that first one that he was too young to manage. Fans watched him grow and counted him as one of their own. Bruce Pearl allowed him to walk onto the men’s team, and his teammates celebrated when he hit his first 3-pointer.

“Attitude lies somewhere between emotion and logic. It’s that curious mix of optimism and determination that enables you to maintain a positive outlook and to continue plodding in the face of the most adverse circumstances.” – Pat Summitt

We Back Pat!

He was at her side when his mother announced the terrible news that she has early onset Alzheimer’s disease, and he was with her when she stepped down at the end of the season. He says that Pat is doing splendidly and that he would not have accepted the job at Marquette if he were needed here. And we believe him.

One milestone that Tyler missed was Pat’s 1,000th victory. It was 2009, and Tyler was playing point guard for Webb. He had a game that night. She addressed his absence in the postgame press conference (as quoted by USA Today), and made it clear that he was always with her, no matter what: “One last thing – can you

He said, ‘Mom, I want to be there.’ I said, ‘Son, you never miss a practice, and you never miss a game.’ I hope they won. “Tyler Summitt has taught me more than I have ever taught anyone.

By Betty Bean When Pat Summitt was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 (a year before Mike Krzyzewski made it), her 9-year-old son, Tyler, escorted her to the stage, rocking a tuxedo and a deep-dimpled, nonstop grin that got bigger when his mama called him her biggest triumph and her good luck charm. At the time, she had six national championship rings. She got her third one the spring after Tyler was born. Twelve years later, Tyler Summitt, who will get his degree, with honors, in May after only three years at UT, landed his fi rst college coaching job the day his mother stepped down from hers. At 21, he will surely be one of the youngest assistant coaches in the country when he will become an assistant women’s basketball coach at Marquette. His mother was 22 when she became head coach at Tennessee. His story and hers have been intertwined from the beginning. When he was 6 months old, Tennessee won the 1991 championship by beating Virginia (which was led by All-American point guard Dawn Staley) in the first women’s NCAA overtime championship game. It was nip and tuck at halftime, and somebody handed baby Tyler down to Tennessee’s star center Daedra “Night Train” Charles so she could plant a kiss on his noggin, something she’d done before every game, but had missed before this one. Some people thought that kiss sealed the deal. And it was sweet solace, since the Cavaliers had knocked Tennessee out of a chance to play in the 1990 Final Four, a particularly galling event, because the tournament was held in Knoxville. Repeat: The 1990 Final Four was in ThompsonBoling Arena and Tennessee wasn’t in it. Pat Summitt was three months pregnant that spring, and six months later,

hurry. Or slow down. I keep clothes that I love, long after they have gone out of style (much to my daughters’ horror). I figure if I loved it then, why give it up now, just because someone in New York said, “Oh, that is so an hour ago!” I keep memories: memories of people I knew, respected, loved, admired, learned from. I keep memories of days long gone, the mental scrapbook that is chock full of my hours and days and years. Of houses, of rooms, of barn lofts, of fields, of mountains and picnics and dinner parties and Christmases. I keep memories of places: towns and countries I have visited, history I have stood in the middle of: Cades Cove, Gettysburg, the White House, Berlin, Monticello, Denali, the Amazon, St. Peter’s Basilica, Bethlehem, Masada, Jerusalem. I keep memories of dogs I have loved: Spottie, Boots, Shannon, Hasso, ’Zar, Bailey. With varying degrees of success, I have kept the commandments and the faith. I keep love, and hope, and peace, and contentment. And perhaps, most important, I keep on.

I am a keeper of things. There it is, my confession. Not that material things are so precious to me, though some are. What I am most prone to keep is paper. Paper with words on it. Books. Newspaper articles. Books. Letters. Magazines. E-mails my daughters sent home from college. Books. Christmas cards. Recipes. Books. Genealogical charts. Books. Lists. Music. (In fact, one of my cardinal rules is “Never Throw Away a Piece of Music Because, Sure As You Do, You Will Need It Tomorrow, If Not Today!”) It is a problem. Actually the title of this column came winging its way into my head, and it was just so delicious I began to worry that maybe it was a memory rather than an idea. I Googled it, and sure enough, it is the name of a book (I haven’t read!) by one of my favorite authors. (Fortunately, or so I’m told by Those Who Know, titles can’t be copyrighted, so I am not breaking the law by using her title. See there? I am keeping the law!) I do keep other things too, things that are not as healthy as words. I sometimes (I blush to confess) keep track, keep score, keep count, keep grudges. I also keep a small piece of paper (there is that paper thing again) with three lines of good advice written on it: “Let it go. Give it up. Set it free.” I keep time, on occasions, wishing it would

Bravo ‘Birdie’! By Ruth White Gibbs High School presented their first musical production in close to 17 years and I just wonder why they haven’t done one sooner. The drama department presented “Bye, Bye Birdie,” a musical comedy set in 1958 and inspired by music phenomenon Elvis Presley. In the play, Conrad Birdie (played by Cory Jerger) is a rock and roll star and has recently been drafted. Agent Albert Peterson (Brady Whitt) decides to have Birdie kiss one female fan goodbye and Kim MacAfee (Jordan

Childress) is selected. MacAfee’s steady beau, Hugo Peabody (Nathan Wech), isn’t pleased with the situation and acts on his feelings for Kim. The cast did a wonderful job bringing the play to life and keeping the audience in stitches during the show. The show was a true Gibbs High team effort led by directors Crystal Braeuner and Emily Jones. Parents, staff members and community members joined in making costumes, locating props and helping to make the event a success.

Nicole Stinnett and Allie Johnson, the sad girls, receive a pep talk from Albert Peterson (Brady Whitt) at the Pennsylvania Station in New York.

Why Have Teeth Professionally Cleaned? : You brush and floss regularly so is it really necessary to have your teeth cleaned at a dentist’s office? : Think of a professional cleaning as a preventive measure to maintain your oral health. This process identifies any problems before they get more serious such as the early onset of periodontal disease or cavities that need to be filled. What you want to avoid is progressive tooth damage that could possibly lead to more expensive repairs such as a root canal, tooth replacement, or gum surgery. You usually won’t notice a cavity at first, but eventually it can go deeper into the tooth and cause nerve pain or a crack that gradually spreads. During a professional cleaning, we also identify normal wear and tear such as a filling or crown breaking down - much easier to repair than replace! Through May 31, 2012, NEW PATIENTS can take advantage of a $99 1st VISIT (Reg. $190) for an exam, bitewing X-rays, and cleaning. Mention offer SH-Column. Some restrictions apply.

‘Venob’ gives students good advice By Jake Mabe Sam Venable will tell you up front: there’s nothin’ wrong with sports. He came from a sports family. He says he sat on the bench during high school football games. He used to be the outdoors editor at the Knoxville News Sentinel. But, the popular columnist told Halls High students invited to the annual academic banquet at the Kerbela Temple last Thursday night that sports ain’t the most important thing in life. “Academics should take priority over sports,” Venob said. “There’s nothing wrong with sports, band, drama or any of those extra-curricular activities, as long as the academic part takes priority first.” An overflow crowd helped salute students who have earned a 3.5 GPA or higher. The event sponsor is Halls High teacher Donna Wineland. Venable was the keynote speaker. He gave good advice, mostly aimed at the seniors.

“Learn the fine line between quitting and changing course when necessary,” he said. “Quitting isn’t going to get you anywhere. But there comes a time when you realize that maybe the career you pick or the major you choose is not what you want. “I earned a BS in journalism and I took them at their word. I’ve been shoveling it ever since. But I was a junior when I switched majors.” Then he told the students since he isn’t their parent he could give them words of wisdom to which they could listen. “As you get older, don’t let other people tell you how you oughta think. Come up with your own opinions.” “Don’t ever forget that you’re Tennesseans,” he said, mentioning Mac Davis’s song “Texas in my Rearview Mirror,” when young Mac wanted to get as far away from his hometown as fast as he could, only to later realize happiness was Lubbock, Texas, growin’ nearer and nearer.

“After (graduation),” Sam said, “you probably will not see 25 to 30 percent of your classmates the rest of your life. Treasure that time. Capture all the memories you can. They are fleeting.” Then he told ’em to perk up and listen. “This is your Uncle Sammy talkin’. If you smoke, quit. Right now. If you don’t smoke, don’t ever start. I’ll turn 65 next month and I’ve already buried four or five friends who got killed because they smoked.” And he said: “Even though it might be

your name on a plaque or certificate, you didn’t get here by yourself.” He said he’s cautiously excited for the seniors and warned them about the ups and downs of life. “I thought I had a lot of answers when I graduated from high school in 1965. I had even less answers when Halls High principal Mark Duff congratulates teacher and banI graduated from college in quet sponsor Donna Wineland for a job well done. 1969. And when I got married and had kids and grandkids? It’s tough. “But even through the bumps, bruises and broken bones, you’re gonna do just fine.” Pirates & 2012 Summer SUMMER Princesses! Olympics

My Mother More precious than rubies, I can still hear her voice, When I was just a little one and she had to make my choice. The nights when she rocked me in the big brown rocking chair, The way she held me close to her, I knew she would always care. No matter what the problem was, if it be great or small, She taught how the One above could help me when I call. The late summer evenings her voice would call my name, When I stayed outside too late to play my childhood games.

She never asked for riches, of silver and of gold, Just for everyone to be happy and to love her when she grew old. She taught me how to love God ﬁrst and I didn’t understand. My mother was so kind to me – how could anyone else be so grand? Each night she knelt with me and taught me how to pray, To always love and trust God and to stay in His narrow way. Now that I have grown up and the Lord is in my heart, I thank my mother tenderly who played a special part. As I look back over those years, all these treasures I do hold, And Mother, don’t you worry, I’ll still love you when you grow tired and old!

Ten local pastors will be leading the prayers. A community choir will be performing at this event.

Anyone in the community who sings is welcome to participate in the choir. Choir practice will be at Alder Springs Baptist Church Hickory Star Rd., Maynardville Thursday, April 19 and 26 at 7:00pm or contact Anthony Malone at 992-6944

Coffee Break with

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am passionate about being a grandma (GiGiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my name; spoilingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my game). There is nothing better than a grandchild wanting to spend time with you.â&#x20AC;?

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Benjamin Franklin. I would like to know â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories about the founding fathers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to listen to him talk about his words of wisdom.â&#x20AC;?

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandchildren. They taught me how to be a better person and how to really love another person. Also, the choir director at the church where I played the piano was like a second father to me and taught me many life lessons.â&#x20AC;?

Peggy Mahan Wilson

I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite get the hang of â&#x20AC;Ś Peggy Mahan Wilson, vice president of college advancement at Pellissippi State Community College and executive director of the Pellissippi State Foundation, has an alter-ego. When the December holidays roll around, Peggy becomes Mrs. Claus, playing the role at the college and at the Farragut Rotary Club, where she is a past president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a Breakfast with Santa at the college, so I dress up and entertain the children while they are waiting for the main attraction: Santa,â&#x20AC;? says Peggy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I served as president of the Farragut Rotary, I came walking into a meeting with gag gifts for all, dressed as Mrs. Claus. It was great fun.â&#x20AC;? Peggy was born in Knoxville, grew up in Eastern Kentucky, but spent parts of the summer in Knoxville with grandparents as a child. Her intention was always to live here, a goal she accomplished after she married. Prior to working for Pellissippi State in 1983, Peggy worked as a teacher, vocational coordinator and small business owner. She and her husband, Joe, have three children and three grandchildren. Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career at Pellissippi is in part a testament to her love of a new challenge. She was coordinator and later assistant dean of Business and Community Services when the need for a director of human resources came around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had never had a full-time director of human resources, and I am always open to learning new things, so I took that on when given the opportunity. In 1993, I became vice president of Administrative Services, which includes human resources, the administrative services offices, community relations and grant development,â&#x20AC;? explains Peggy. She is also executive director of the fundraising arm of the college, the Pellissippi State Foundation. Spending time with her grandchildren is one of Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joys, and, in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;spare time,â&#x20AC;? she loves to play the piano and work in the yard. Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Peggy Wilson:

What is your favorite quote from a television show or movie? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have several, and these will certainly tell my age: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just the facts, maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dragnetâ&#x20AC;?); â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Howdy Doody Time;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know you. I walked with you, once upon a dream.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleeping Beautyâ&#x20AC;?).â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cooking and cleaning (I hate both).â&#x20AC;?

What is the best present you ever received in a box? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A hat. I love wearing hats. This gift was in a hatbox that was as attractive as the hat.â&#x20AC;?

What is the best advice that your mother ever gave you? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pretty is as pretty does.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In other words, you will be known by your actions.â&#x20AC;?

What is your social media of choice? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facebook. I love keeping up with my granddaughter who lives in Missouri and with other friends and family.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working too hard and taking too much work home with me. Reading my email late at night. Not being able to say no.â&#x20AC;?

What is your favorite material possession? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love jewelry, so my favorite material possession is my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring that was given to her on her 16th birthday. She gave it to me when I had my first child.â&#x20AC;?

What are you reading currently? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the movie â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Help,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and am now reading the book. Also, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Life Beyond Measure â&#x20AC;Ś Letters to My GreatGranddaughter,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Sidney Poitier.â&#x20AC;?

What are the top three things on your bucket list? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Travel through all of the states in the Western United States. (I love watching black and white Westerns and would love to see the areas they represent.) Finish my family genealogy. Learn to make jewelry.â&#x20AC;?

330 Woodlake Blvd., Tazewell, TN 37879

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching science to 9th grade students. Fortunately, I learned early in my life that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good teacher, so I moved on to other things. When I went to college, women were not taught about choices. In the mountain culture, one went to college to find a husband, become a nurse or become a teacher. Since I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like blood and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for a husband, I opted for being a teacher. I like being an administrator better than being a teacher. Lesson plans â&#x20AC;Ś ugh!â&#x20AC;?

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, I love all cartoons, so it depends on whether I was watching them for myself, with my children or with my grandchildren.â&#x20AC;?

What irritates you? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devious people who try to corrupt opinions about other people while thinking their actions make them more important.â&#x20AC;?

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one place in Farragut everyone should visit?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driven. â&#x20AC;Ś I push myself and others to the limit, just like my dad did me.â&#x20AC;?

What is your greatest fear?

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be skinny again. Since it is unlikely that I will weigh only 95 pounds again, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d change my personality so that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so intense.â&#x20AC;?

What is your passion?

She uses some of her art for fan pulls or picture frame decorations and also makes them into beautiful earrings. “The paper can’t be too thick or too thin but has to be just right,” said Taylor. She says her art has no real name but agrees it is origami taken to the next level. Taylor makes the ornaments for family and friends for Christmas and for special events such as graduation. She also makes matching boxes to hold the ornaments. Taylor also makes beautiful, hand-stitched note-

Winter hours can sometimes be long ones for those who are retired, and Taylor says paper art is one way she keeps busy.

Good food galore as Food City execs host media By Sandra Clark Steven Smith is proud of his dad, K-VA-T Food City founder Jack Smith, but when he comes to Knoxville he always makes a joke about another fellow he’s quite fond of. That’s Emerson Breeden, who marked his 60th year with Food City and its predecessor White Stores this month. “Emerson worked for White Stores when we acquired the chain in 1990. We b o u g h t Emerson and they threw in the stores,” said Smith. And with J.J. Jones Breeden celebrating his 60th anniversary while looking not a day over 65, “They must have violated every labor law on the books when they hired him.” At a table in the back, Emerson Breeden just grinned. The Bearden guy is proud to have begun work as a White Stores bag boy. He’s proud of a career that ranged from cashier to store manager to the regional office. He especially likes his current job of coordinating

The company operates 104 stores, 76 pharmacies and 72 fuel stations. At stores where there is not enough space to install gasoline pumps, they are looking off-site. “We just opened our first Food City Express. Don’t tell the Haslams,” said Smith. Food City has pumped $14 million into area schools through the School Bucks promotion. Last year the company raised $142,000 for charity through a vendor golf tournament. Smith expects to double that this year. The company raised $125,000 for paralyzed veterans through a promotion with Richard Petty. Food City supports local growers with $1 of every $5 in the produce departments coming from local farmers. “It takes extra work, but we do it to support the rich heritage of farming in East Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.” Food City opened five new or replacement stores in 2011, but spent most capital investment on 7 expansions with more planned for 2012 including a remodeling project at the Bearden store. Steve Smith paused as the company’s mission statement flashed on the PowerPoint. It was written by his dad who started with a single Piggly Wiggly: “To run the best store in town.”

Preventing drug abuse By Rob Webb With

nearly 40,000 d r u g related deaths nationally each year, k e e p ing Knox County s t udent s sober, Webb drug-free and safe is a priority. As emergency responders, we see the negative impact this problem has on the health and well-being of our students and their families. Whether it’s an overdose or an injury caused by impaired judgment, we know the real-life consequences of teen drug-use. In response to this growing problem, Rural/ Metro has partnered with the Knoxville Metropolitan Drug Commission to encourage parents to take a proactive stance when it comes to teen drug-use. Rural/Metro recently donated 350 First Check drug test kits to the Metropolitan Drug Commission for distribution to parents of local teens. This initiative provides parents with another tool in the home to combat teen drug-use. Some may think home drug testing is an extreme response. Recent data, however, confirm teen drug-use as a serious issue here. According to the 2011 Knox County Schools Youth Risk Behavior survey which came out earlier this year, more

than 20 percent of high school students surveyed admitted to smoking marijuana in the last 30 days. Of these drug-users, only 5 percent had used drugs on school property. This means the majority of actual drug-use is taking place outside the walls of the school building. Having a drug test in the home can help kids avoid peer pressure situations by empowering them to say ‘I can’t, my parents might drug test me.’ In the last 12 months, 29 percent of students reported they had been offered drugs on school property. Educating yourselves about the issue and talking to your kids about drugs is only the first step. Rural/Metro urges parents to ask questions, set consistent boundaries and make sure your kids know the consequences of drug-use. The most important thing you can do to keep your teen drugfree is to stay involved in the life of your teen and be a good role model.

Dennis and Penny Wagner of Fountain City Diner. Photo by S. Carey The lesson here, according to Dennis, is that you’ve got to listen to your customers. “You’ve got to love what you do,” he said. “If you don’t love what you do, you’ll never make it.” What Dennis and Penny love is making their customers feel like they’re at home, like Mama just cooked their favorite meal and set it on the kitchen table. Fountain City Diner is a true Mom and Pop shop. Dennis handles the kitchen, and Penny, who has an

Having happy feet can keep you on the path to good health. Consisting of 26 tiny bones, more than 33 joints, and 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments, your foot is one of the most complex but often neglected parts of your body. Being kind to your feet can help you avoid foot problems that can lead to pain, infection and limited mobility. One of the simplest things people can do to maintain good foot health is to be proactive and inspect your feet regularly. “Check your feet to make sure there are no cracks or tears, which can lead to infection,” advises Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center podiatrist Gilmer Reed, D.P.M. “Also look for changes in skin color, temperature or thickness.” Severely dry skin on the bottom of your foot may signal athlete’s foot, a fungal infection. Common sense tactics like washing and thoroughly drying your feet regularly (with a clean towel), and wearing fresh shoes and socks daily can help prevent moisture and bacteria build up on your feet. “Moisture and perspiration cause big problems for feet,” says Dr. Reed. “Keep your feet dry to help avoid odor, fungus and warts.” Dr. Reed also advises not cut-

ting your toenails too short and trimming straight across, instead of with the curve of your toe, to avoid ingrown toenails. The shoes you wear can also contribute to the ﬁtness of your feet. Make sure your shoes ﬁt right and don’t rub or cause blisters. “If you have to “break them

Diabetics – Don’t misstep, check your feet! If you’re diabetic, watch your step. Foot problems are a common complication of diabetes, which affect 25.8 million Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “The vast majority of complications from foot Gilmer Reed, D.P.M, Podiatry infections among

diabetics start with corns, calluses and dry skin,” explains Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center podiatrist Gilmer Reed, D.P.M. Severe foot problems can lead to amputations of the foot or leg. In 2006, nearly 65,700 Americans had a foot or leg amputated because of complications from diabetes, according to the CDC. Foot and leg issues typically begin as neuropathy, or nervous system damage, and reduced

blood flow. If you have diabetes, high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves and blood vessels that deliver oxygen to the nerves. People with diabetes may have limited sensation in their feet and not know if they have a cut or callous that has become infected. Reduced circulation means cuts don’t heal as quickly as they should. “Damaged nerves and poor circulation are separate issues,

but when you combine them, they can create a bigger problem,” says Dr. Reed. If gangrene develops, it usually requires amputation. What’s worse, one amputation can lead to another. “When someone undergoes an amputation, there is more body weight pressure on the other foot,” explains Dr. Reed. “Within several years, a certain percentage of patients will lose their other foot as well.” Prevention, then, is the best approach for foot problems. Dr. Reed says anyone with diabetes should check their feet daily for problems like corns and calluses, ingrown toenails or cracks. Dr. Reed recommends wearing “diabetic” shoes, which are wider and have insoles that form to the foot better. Finally, especially if you’re a diabetic with a loss of sensation, see a foot specialist if you develop toenail problems, calluses or dry skin on your feet. “Don’t self-treat. Take care of your feet before an issue develops,” advises Reed. “When you have your feet regularly screened and checked, you will learn what you need to do to avoid problems down the road.” For more information about foot care or managing your diabetes call 865-673-FORT (3678).

Most people would agree that it’s no small problem when your feet ache. Yet few other parts of the body are more neglected in terms of basic personal care. And major foot problems and chronic pain often go ignored. Learning about foot care can help you recognize when to see a doctor for treatment. Take this quiz to test your foot health IQ. 1. You should inspect your feet regularly. A. True or B. False? True. Check for dry skin, blisters and warts. Dry, scaling skin may indicate athlete’s foot. Blisters, corns and calluses are caused by friction, often by shoes that do not fit properly or by wearing shoes without socks. Warts are caused by a virus that infects the skin. 2. Trim your toenails to follow the curve of your toe. A. True or B. False? False. You should trim your toenails straight across. If you trim them in a curve, the edges of the nail will grow into the skin. Also, make sure you don’t trim your toenails too short, because this can result in an ingrown nail. 3. It’s safe for people who don’t have circulation problems to use over-the-counter remedies for foot ailments such as corns or warts. A. True or B. False? True. If you have circulation problems or diabetes, however, check with your health care provider before using these remedies. Many contain salicylic acid, which may be harmful to someone with poor circulation. 4. Having a pedicure can treat foot problems. A. True or B. False? False. Pedicurists aren’t properly trained to treat ingrown nails or to cut calluses or corns from feet. 5. You shouldn’t wear the same pair of shoes for two or more days in a row. A. True or B. False? True. You should alternate shoes to let them dry out before wearing them again. Doing so can help eliminate foot odor. Make sure you change socks daily, as well. 6. High heels frequently cause foot problems in women. A. True or B. False? True. High heels force all the body weight onto the toes and disrupt the natural stride. 7. Years of wearing narrow shoes that squeeze the toes together can cause bunions. A. True or B. False? True. This is why women tend to develop bunions more than men, although men who wear tight shoes also are at risk. A bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe. Bunions are also hereditary.

Tennova is ‘Getting 2 Great’ By Ruth White

Tennova nurse Julie Kelley received the Daisy nursing award and was described as always smiling and extending the hand of Jesus through her care. Photos by

The Tennova Health Management team helps staff members be the best they can possibly be through the Getting 2 Great (G2G) program. The ongoing program involves six pillars and spotlights topics including people, service, quality, innovation, finance and growth. Each year a different topic is highlighted and associates are constantly learning new information. Tennova hosted a launch party to introduce the associates at the North Knoxville Medical Center (formerly St. Mary’s North). Guests at the party had an opportunity to meet the specialty teams at Tennova, enjoy the special talents displayed during the Northern Idol competition and celebrate good things going on at the center.

Tennova CEO Rob Followell, Justin Strange and Pamela Wenge smile for pictures as Strange was awarded the Rose Award at the Tennova Getting 2 Great celebration. Strange was honored for being a positive role model and an extraordinary assistant at Tennova.

Rare white camel in East Tennessee By Sara Barrett If you are looking for something different to do with the family this weekend, consider taking a drive to the Circle G Ranch in Strawberry Plains. MapQuest says it’s a 40 minute drive down I-40 from Cedar Bluff. Not only should you expect memorable animal encounters in general, but there is a new addition to the Circle G family that will make you blink twice. Three weeks ago, a rare white camel was born on the ranch. “He’s so bright, you almost have to wear sunglasses to look at him,” said owner Christy Michel. The calf’s proud parents are “Buckwheat,” a Paint camel from the Canary Islands (similar in color to an Appaloosa horse) and “Glory,” a female that is the traditional brown most folks associate with a camel. “Mother and baby are doing wonderful,” said Michel. “Currently in the U.S., there are less than a handful of

No, this is not a large cotton ball. It’s a camel. Photo submitted solid white paint camels. This is quite the treat to be able to present our visitors with a glimpse of Mother Nature, as an artist, at her best.” In addition to the white camel (whose name has not been chosen because they don’t yet know what his personality will be), the folks at Circle G have recently welcomed other critters into the world, including a young wallaby and a baby zebra named Damara. The Circle G Ranch Wild Animal Park and Camel Safari is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located on Thorngrove Pike between exits 402 and 407 off of I-40.

Sandy Keith (aka Sandy Kitts) and her group from the imaging department sang an original version of Toby Keith’s song “Red Solo Cup,” titled “Green Solo Cup.” Keith and the group won the talent contest, Northern Idol.

Young-Williams staff member Sarah Palmer hangs out with Honey, a 10-month-old terrier/ Airedale mix. She has lots of love to give and is ready for a forever home.
