Final pitch for KCS budget The best case Dr. Jim McIntyre made for the Knox County school board’s $35 million budget increase proposal came last Friday morning, in his office, when he spoke as a daddy. “I’m the dad of two Knox County Schools students. I have a very personal stake in this.” Jake Mabe spoke to the superintendent on the eve of the big vote.

Top honors at Fountain City Day in the Park went to Carl Butcher, Man of the Year, and Becky Hill Warwick, Woman of the Year. The two friends greet each other after the announcement. Both were surprised. Butcher is a longtime business owner in Fountain City (C.L. Butcher Insurance Agency) who has coached youth sports and is active in his church. Warwick is a member of First Baptist Church of Fountain City who volunteers at the Fountain City Ministry Center and coordinated efforts of her church in Operation Inasmuch. Photos by S. Clark

Mike Bundon to retire from Beaver Dam Church
Mabe to write history of Halls
By Jake Mabe Mike Bundon signs all of his correspondence “All for the Lord.” That sums up his career. Bundon is retiring after 30 years as minister of music at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. “Thirty years is a very unusual tenure in ministry these days, much less in one single place,” Bundon says. “The folks at Beaver Dam and Halls have been so kind to our entire family – of course, I’ve said they love my wife (Joy) and tolerate me – but it’s been a wonderful life.” Bundon previously served as a minister of music and youth at Mt. Harmony Baptist in Knoxville and at First Baptist Church of Dandridge before coming to Beaver Dam in 1982. The Blount County native became a true Halls guy, our friend, neighbor, counselor, and, of course, his church’s choir director. He and Joy, a music specialist for the Clinton City Schools, raised three great kids: Jonathan, minister of music at First Baptist Church of King’s Mountain, N.C.; Michaela, who completed seminary at Beeson Divinity School on the Samford University campus in Birmingham,

Help’s a’comin Sadie (found tied to the door at Shopper-News as a pup) is a true newshound. Thwarted in her efforts to take a dip at Tommy Schumpert Park, Sadie investigated and learned that Knox County has closed the water hole section of the dog park for erosion control work and the addition of a pump. According to Doug “Arf” Bataille, the project includes draining the pond, digging out the bottom that was about a foot of silt, and then rebuilding the sides. The pond does double duty – it is for the dogs – but it is also used to irrigate the football fields. The pump is needed for the irrigation in addition to controlling the level of the pond for the dogs. Sadie knows one summer is like 7 in dog years. Arf said it will be done “soon,” but no one quite knows how long that is in parks & rec years. Photo by S. Clark

Ala.; and Lesley, who just graduated from the James Quillen College of Medicine and is beginning her residency in Greenville, S.C. His daddy was a church “song man” as Bundon puts it, but it took awhile for the son to get there. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Carson-Newman and was the public school choral director/music coordinator in Jefferson County from 1975-79. It’s a long story, but at age 28, he earned the Viola Bitzas Scholar full graduate assistantship at UT and earned a master’s under George Bitzas, whom most locals remember as the guy who sang the national anthem before UT football games. “What has kept me in music ministry for so long (I actually started when I was 16) is they may forget what you said, or what I sang, but they will never forget how you make them feel, whether at a birth, a wedding, a funeral or in day-to-day ministry.” He’s seen programs and personalities come and go and techniques and technology evolve. “But, when it’s all boiled down, the only thing that endures is the love of God in Christ Jesus. And, if that is not evidenced in our songs, our word, our lives, all else is in vain and will likely come up short.” He will continue to sing with The CenturyMen and the Tennessee Chorale.
Beaver Dam Baptist Church minister of music Mike Bundon is stepping down after 30 years at the church. A special “reunion choir” service will be held 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 10. Photo submitted
He has two teaching opportunities lined up but says “it is not on my radar to go to another church full time.” A special reunion choir service will be held 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 10, at Beaver Dam. “We’ll have a tremendous time of music and worship and a great time of celebration, and of course some obligatory food, but afterward there will be chairs and tables to move, dishes to wash, chores to do and enjoy and share with others. That’s really what is so rewarding in the ministry to and through the church, and that will continue.” All for the Lord.

Budget funds additions Gibbs High, Adrian Burnett and Shannondale schools on list By Ruth White Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre wants a safe, healthy, inviting learning environment for all children. “Everything we do on the school board is to improve quality of instruction and help our students be successful.” Five schools, including three in north Knox County, are slated for repairs and upgrades if the County Commission funds the budget approved by the school board. Adrian Burnett Elementary School was built in 1976 to provide space relief for Halls Elementary. The school was built to serve 500 students but currently serves 670 and, according to principal Kathy Duggan, the school has “not one extra inch of space.”
Adrian Burnett has 35 teaching spaces – 11 in portable buildings. If funding is secured, a classroom wing will replace the portable buildings and add five more classrooms. Current rooms were built under the open classroom model and those rooms will be separated into individual spaces to allow better instruction. Other changes include renovation of inadequate office space, expansion of the media center and cafeteria eating area and construction of a standard-size gym. The current gym would be repurposed for art and music space.
Shannondale Elementary School has 10 portable classrooms. If funding is secured, 14 classrooms will be built on the back of the school to provide more space for students. Expansion of the cafeteria is also in the plans and would increase the eating area by 40-50 additional seats. The food service area would be renovated to allow food to be prepared on-site and allow a more efficient serving line flow. Other improvements would include a teacher work area and two group toilet facilities. Gibbs High School needs additional cafeteria seating space in a tight area. The plan would be to expand the cafeteria out toward a courtyard area to provide more space for

government Ray off Blue Cross board Gloria Ray not only lost her $400,000 a year CEO position at Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corp, but Blue Cross/Blue Shield has decided it no longer needs her services as a board member at $90,000 a year. She is now off that board. It seems Blue Cross has a policy that board members must resign when their full time employment changes. Usually, the resignation is not accepted, but in this case it was. It also seems Ray chaired the Blue Cross compensation committee – which approved CEO Vicky Gregg earning $6.2 million a year. This pay comes from Blue Cross itself and also from various subsidiaries which Blue Cross owns. Blue Cross has raised premiums since 2005 at triple the rate of inflation while doubling board pay in the same period. The board meets quarterly – 12 days a year – so $7,500 per day of work is not bad. No wonder health care is so expensive.
Ownby reflections Many think it is only a matter of time before Knox County Commissioner Jeff Ownby resigns his seat after his arrest on Sharp’s Ridge. While the law does not require him to resign, even if convicted (it is not a felony charge), his reputation is seriously damaged. Persons are already being mentioned as replacements to Ownby who defeated Finbarr Saunders in August 2010. County Commission names the successor who would serve to August 2014 when a special election would fill the remaining two years in the unexpired term. Ownby did not attend the May 29 meeting. Possible new commissioners must reside in his district which lies in West Knoxville and West Knox County. The pick will likely be a Republican as the Commission is 9 to 2 Republican. Commission may require that the person chosen agree not to be a candidate in the August 2014 county election, although such a request in not enforceable as a matter of law. On the other hand, Ownby may decide to hold onto the position to keep the $20,000 annual salary (especially if he is terminated from Comcast) and health insurance benefits as a county employee. Bill Lockett kept his Law Director position to continue his

salary and benefits even when it was clear he had misused clients’ funds at his former law firm. There is little beyond public opinion to force Ownby from office, assuming he is guilty of the charge. The county charter should be changed to allow two/ thirds of the County Commission to remove county officials guilty of misconduct just as the U.S. House and Senate as well as the state Legislature has the right to remove officials who bring disgrace upon themselves and the body. In the absence of such a provision, the charter review committee should allow voters to recall an elected official who brings disgrace on himself.
Notes While President Obama was widely and appropriately praised for awarding the Medal of Freedom to Pat Summitt, he also awarded a similar Medal to Polish hero Jan Karski who was a famed resistance fighter in World War II. Obama’s serious mistake was to refer to Karski visiting “Polish death camps” and reporting on them to Churchill and Roosevelt. This is a serious historical error as it suggests the Poles operated the death camps. That is false. Actually, the Nazis created and operated the death camps in Poland which is the correct way to reference them. Since then, media in Poland and the USA have strongly criticized the President and demanded an apology and correction. The White House has offered a “regret” but not an apology. Polish Prime Minister Tusk requested an apology at a news conference in Warsaw. The President’s speech writer in this case failed to do his homework and misstated history. ■ TVA ran full page ads at ratepayer expense justifying their tree cutting policies while federal Judge Thomas Varlan considers an injunction request to halt the tree cutting pending final resolution of the issue.

serves community By Betty Bean With its slightly shabby exterior and rusty chain link fence, Pond Gap Elementary School doesn’t look like the setting for cutting edge education reform. But for the past two years, 45 Pond Gap students facing significant challenges of behavioral, economic, academic and/or language issues, have participated in a pilot program called the University-Assisted Community School initiative. Each student has an individualized academic plan, which is integrated into after-school and summer programs. Participants get classes and supplementary help. Adult family members may attend GED classes, ESL classes and discussion groups dealing with finance and law. Dinner is served, and parents and guardians are welcome to eat with their children. At the end of the initiative’s second year, school administrators have tangible proof that it worked. Test findings include:
■ 34 percent decrease in absenteeism ■ 33 percent decrease in tardies ■ 77 percent decrease in discipline referrals Plus substantial gains in reading, mathematics and overall academics. Community schooling is set to be expanded to 75 Pond Gap students next year, said Melissa Massie, Knox County Schools’ director of support services. And if County Commission votes to fund the school board’s budget request, community education can come to other schools as well, a point important to board member Cindy Buttry. Pond Gap, which now serves 350 students, will increase its capacity to 500 after a significant renovation, Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre said. Last week, Massie participated in a panel which included Dr. Bob Kronick of the UT College of Education, who “dreamed up” and championed the program; Marie Alcorn of the United Way; and Doug Dillingham, KCS supervisor of facilities and new construction. Kronick recruited philanthropist Randy Boyd of Radio Systems and
PetSafe who funded the pilot program with $450,000. Kronick said the program started with four elementary schools – Sarah Moore Greene, G r e e n Magnet, Inskip and Sam E. Hill. After the arrival of McInt y re, Kronick was persuaded Randy Boyd to settle for one school – Pond Gap. “We poured everything into this school, and Susan (Espiritu) was ready for it. We have a clinic, approved by the Red Cross. Food, clothing, shelter are where we start. Dillingham presented a drawing of planned expansion for Pond Gap that will accommodate the expanded community education program and add a new gym, cafeteria, kitchen and library/media center. “In 37 years of doing this, this is a first, and it’s very exciting,” he said. “This is an addition all around this school for use as a community school. We are designing it for the community, but it will be secure for kids.”
School budget vote today Feeling a bit like the little guy who carried the flag up the wall during the battle scene in “Les Misérables.” You know you could die, but you do it anyway. That’s what the school board asks of County Commission today – courage. For years, the school system has inched along with continuation budgets. Most times the board has left the county executive/mayor with wiggle room to say, “We gave them what they asked for.” Meanwhile, kids go to school in moldy, multigenerational portable classrooms without plumbing. Classes get technology when parents sell cookies or coupon books. This year the school board voted 8-1 to ask for the budget it needs. Today we’ll see how the commissioners respond.
Aftermath ■ The Knox County school board will be back at work the day after Monday’s budget vote with a workshop at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, in the Andrew Johnson boardroom and the regular monthly meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 6, at the City County Building.

Just as Pond Gap School took center stage in the battle for school funding last week, so did the Susan Espiritu s c h o o l ’ s principal. The National Association of Elementary School Principals has named Susan Espiritu its National Distinguished Principal for 2012, representing Tennessee. Espiritu, who will be starting her eighth year as principal at Pond Gap this fall, hosted a discussion of the school’s community education concept last Wednesday in advance of County Commission’s vote on school funding this week. She gave her staff the credit for the award. “The award should go to the entire staff at Pond Gap. This is just a reflection of how supportive they are of all the things I ask them to do and to try. They are very out of the box, very innovate thinkers and aren’t afraid to try something new.” Pond Gap, she said, has long been on the cutting edge of educational reform. “We were the first TAP (Teacher Advancement Program) elementary school six years ago. We have uniforms and we piloted the full-service school concept. This staff has always been fully supportive. I’m really just the torchbearer of the award for the staff,” she said. Espiritu started her own education in Fountain City (she is the sister of attorney Tom Dillard and has been with Knox County Schools since 1979). She is married to Charles Espiritu and has three children: Maria Espiritu Haun, who played softball and volleyball at Halls High School; Kalea Espiritu Derry, who was a student athlete at Gibbs; and Billy Espiritu, who played football at Gibbs. The Espiritus have seven grandchildren.

McIntyre makes final Flexible commitments pitch for budget The best case Dr. Jim McIntyre made for the Knox County school board’s $35 million budget increase proposal came last Friday morning, in his office, when he spoke as a daddy.
Jake Mabe
“I’m not just the superintendent. I’m a dad of two Knox County Schools students. I have a very personal stake in this. There are very specific investments we have to make to allow all students at every school to have a bright, successful, competitive future.” Daddy Jim and his wife, Michelle, represent a growing demographic in Knox County: young couples with young kids. What do they want? Great schools. Neighborhood parks. Forget the “education speak” for which McIntyre is famous. I asked him to sum up in 10 words or less the reason why this budget should be passed. “Because it is an important investment in the future of our children and our community.” (I spotted him the extra five words.) The state Legislature increased state standards for education two years ago. McIntyre and the Knox County school board beat the state to the punch in 2009 with McIntyre’s strategic plan. That’s as it should be – a local school district setting its own goals. “This budget is the blueprint of how we can achieve all that.” The legislature also passed an unfunded mandate requiring that all state assessment tests be administered online by the 201415 school year. Knox County Schools is nowhere near being ready for it. This budget would build that infrastructure. It would, as McIntyre said, ensure that students are “competent as digital citizens,” i.e. be able to use the technology that has changed every industry in this country save digging ditches and sweeping floors. “But more importantly it would allow teachers to use technology as an instructional tool.” Several teachers say they haven’t had enough professional development and training to use technology
Dr. Jim McIntyre (right) explores an “active vote” device with New Hopewell Elementary School fifth grader Kevin McCarter in this 2010 file photo by S. Clark. The devices were purchased by business owner Randy Boyd and donated to the school that he attended. to its potential. This budget would change that. It would also provide needed tech support at each school. And it would help each student receive some kind of electronic tablet that McIntyre says “will be their textbooks, their notebook, their primary learning tool.” Meanwhile, South Korea is buying millions of dollars worth of tablets for its students. Students in China spend about 10 or 11 hours in the classroom each day. Let’s face it, folks. It’s not 1952. We can’t go back.
People keep saying McIntyre isn’t being transparent enough. Give me a break. He’s so transparent he can’t shut up. If you don’t believe me, visit knoxschools.org. Watch the videos. Read the data. He and the school board talked with any group that would have them. For most of us this proposed property tax increase would mean spending less each day than what we spend on a cup of coffee. Cas Walker is dead and I don’t feel so good myself. It’s time to move forward. The time is now.
Oh my, the sky is falling. Again. Tennessee has invested hundreds of hours and many thousands of dollars in football recruiting, extended scholarship offers to 207 prospects and received only seven commitments. Alabama, Florida, Georgia and many others are far, far ahead. What shall we do? Relax. Early commits may or may not be meaningful. Sometimes players feel a need to say something. Girlfriends want to know. Early commitments are devilish entertainment for fans awaiting February. It is the classic game of counting chickens before they hatch – or sign. Consider big, tough defensive end Jason Carr of White Station. He is one of our seven. He committed in January but something has happened to the Memphis-Knoxville connection. He now says he may visit Ole Miss. Yes, he’s still committed to Tennessee but the Rebels are showing unexpected interest. So are Alabama, Florida, LSU, Nebraska, Auburn, Southern Cal and Syracuse – and most points in between. Carr may or may not stay hitched. Some early pledges lack sincerity. But, it works both ways. Players think they have accepted scholarships only to discover offers can fade away. They may not even be wanted next year. But, but, but you say, a man’s word is his bond. Not so. A prep prospect says yes but means probably or perhaps. He keeps his options

open. A coach says we need you desperately – unless a bigger, faster possibility emerges. People do change their minds. Example: Mackensie Alexander, outstanding cornerback from Immokalee, Fla., committed to Tennessee five months ago. Hooray! He had not even visited but he liked everything about Tennessee. He wanted to play SEC football. He had a great relationship with the staff. He was motivated. He couldn’t wait to get here. Mackensie said he was, as of that very moment, a bold advocate and salesperson for the Volunteers. He would persuade others to join him in Big Orange Country. Alas and alas, famous coaches at big-name schools did not believe any of that stuff. They stepped up their recruitment. Alexander said it was crazy. He said he really enjoyed talking with Nick Saban, as in wow! “I just can’t believe all the new interest, especially from a school like Alabama. I have big, big thoughts on Alabama right now.” Incidentally, Alexander said he remained committed to the Volunteers. That may have been the least committed commitment in history. Mackenzie
came unglued. He said the departure of assistant Terry Joseph was a factor. He listed 10 or 15 schools suddenly under consideration. Oh, incidentally again, Mackensie said he might keep in touch with Tennessee. In the procurement process, it is called “flipping” when a UT coach persuades a pledged prospect to switch schools – as did Nu’Keese Richardson from Florida and Da’Rick Rogers from Georgia and, more recently, Kenneth Bynum from Cincinnati. It is called terribly inconvenient and shocking and maybe illegal when promises are broken the other direction. It happens. Cornerback Otis Jacobs of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College signed with Texas A&M just five days after committing to Tennessee. Florida got a pleasant surprise when defensive tackle Damien Jacobs pulled up short of Knoxville. Linebacker Otha Peters stunned the Vols and his mother by talking Tennessee and signing with Arkansas. There have been bigger defections: In 2001, Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown came unraveled overnight and signed with Auburn. Amazing! A more famous switch was quarterback Chris Simms from our shade of orange to Texas. It seemed a terrible loss in 1999. Not so much today. We now know commitments are flexible.

Firefly fever NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier
P
eople say Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer. It apparently was this year, with blue skies, white clouds and temperatures around 90 degrees. That evening, we had a perfect Memorial Day surprise ending, a fitting sight for the start of summer. After putting stuff away from the day’s activities of plants and mowing, I paused to admire my exceptionally good yard-mowing job. It was at dusk, around 8:30, and there appeared the most exceptionally large bunch of firef lies I guess I’ve ever seen, short of the thousands of synchronous firef lies performing in the Elkmont area in the Smokies. They were coming up out of the grass and blinking their lights, scores and scores of them. I don’t know what called them forth – the earlier, warmer temperatures, or the half moon shining directly overhead, or the Signs – but they certainly all had the same idea at the same time. The scene was so impressive I rustled Grandma out to see the show with me. Summer must truly be here, we said, and reminisced about warm and luscious summers past, with firef lies and jarf lies and suppers on the back porch. The aforementioned Smoky Mountain synchronous firef lies get a lot more press, with their forest-illuminating, exactlytimed f lashing of thousands of
individual lights and it is one of Nature’s unique events to see. But our local and ordinary firef lies are no slouches when it comes to having an interesting lifestyle. It turns out that those amazing little off-and-on f lying lightbulbs are out there f lashing their lights with something more in mind than just enhancing our lovely summer evening experience. Those are the boy lightning bugs out there f lying around; the girl lightning bugs are down on the ground, watching and waiting. When a lovely, unattached girl bug sees a f lash that looks right for her, she f lashes back, and the boy bug zooms down to introduce himself and establish a relationship. Now, there are many species of firef lies, and sometimes three or four out and about on any given night. So, how to tell if you’re courting the right species? It’s all in the timing. The length of time from the male’s f lash, until the female responds with her f lash, is different and specific for each species. So, a single male of a certain species recognizes a single f lash at just the right time interval from his and heads down for a romantic rendezvous. It all sounds nice and summery and romantic, right? But, alas, everything in nature is far more complicated than usually meets the eye. That holds true for the love life of
the firef ly. You may not want to watch this next part, folks, because there are scenes that contain in instances of graphic violence. nce. T h e two comomm o n firefly genera involved in thiss drama have confusingly singly similar names, ames, Photinus and Photuris. I didn’t n’t pick them; I would uld have called them A and B if it were up to me. Anyhow, think of Photinus otinus as the happy-golucky good guys and Photuris as thee dark, evil femme fatale. So what sometimes happens ens on a lovely summer mer evening is that a Photinus guy goes f lashing along, and lo! o! There below is the f lashing signal of the female, male, and down he goes. Only, it turns out to be a female emale Photuris, who can give a nus Photinus signal if shee chooses. And when our Photinus suitor arrives, bouquet in hand, and, the Photuris female p o u n c e s uris on him and devours him, leaving ng behind only a few scrapss of legs and wings. Burp! What hat a revolting develop-
ment! Being hungry is understandable, but why not just get some handy little morsel on the ground for supper, instead of all that deception and drama? Wouldn’t you know, the entomologists have that one figured out too. Using some really sophisticated science and a lot of lab time they have unraveled the story. The Photinus firef ly’s system can manufacture steroids called lucibufagins from the cholesterol molecules they get in their diet (just as human livers make all sorts of essential things from the cholesterol we eat). These chemicals are toxic to other animals and help protect the Photinus
firef lies from such predators as birds, spiders and lizards. People who own pet lizards mostly know not to feed their pets firef lies; there have been a number of fatal outcomes. Just to show you how everything is interrelated, the chemicals that the firef lies use for protection are similar in nature to the cardinolides found in the milkweed plant that the monarch butterf ly caterpillars eat and use for protection. And a similar poison is found in the foxglove plant, but it is a useful one for people. We call it digitalis. But back to deceit and murder. The lucibufagins that make the Photinus firef lies distasteful or poisonous to would-be predators? The Photuris firef lies can’t make them! And, so, down through the eons, instead of developing a system to produce their own poisons, the Photuris firef lies have adapted to a different and certainly more dramatic way around the deficit: eat two or three Photinus bugs and fill your own system with beneficial, protective poison. Incidentally, that poison also serves to protect the eggs of the Photuris from such predators as ladybugs, once they are laid. Pretending to be a lovesick bug in order to lure a suitor to a grisly fate of being devoured for his toxic juices is a script fit for a Halloween movie! The next time you’re watching firef lies magically light up the summer dusk, continue to enjoy them for the amazing little lights they are. But you might want to wish them luck in the choice they make of a date for the evening.

The real coming of God For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, …while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Titus 2: 11, 13 NRSV) In every wind that blows, in every night and day of the year, in every sign of the sky, in every blossoming and in every withering of the earth, there is a real coming of God to us if we will simply use our starved imagination to realize it. (“Secrets of a Good Life,” Oswald Chambers)
I am a countrywoman. I like to visit cities, and I work in town, but I live in – and love – the country. “On purpose,” I am fond of adding. There is a peace deep in my soul when I look out over “my” meadow. (There is a lawyer in town whose name is on the deed, but I watch over it for him, a fact to which he is totally oblivious.) The meadow is green now, and the hay is growing, dotted with daisies and trimmed with Queen Anne’s lace. Earlier in the spring, a tribe (a flock, a gobble, what is the collective noun for a bunch of turkeys?) of wild turkeys took up residence

my atrium doors and saw a short, stocky form sitting right at the edge of the meadow. He was brown and appeared to be about 16 inches tall. I first thought he was a large groundhog, but a closer look told me his head was avian. He was a hawk, doing some hunting, up close and personal. His concentration was absolute: he was completely motionless, as I went from window to window snapping pictures of him. I decided to go out the front door and around the house to see if I could sneak up on him. Ever try to sneak up on something whose eyesight enables him to see four times the distance a human can see and at greater resolution? Can’t be done. As soon as I came out of the shadow of the house, he saw me and took off, his red tail spread, and his enormous wings lifted him effortlessly. He flew down to the old oak tree that stands in the middle of the meadow and alit delicately. He settled in once again to observe whatever movement might give away the presence of a potential lunch. I had the distinct impression he was grumbling – in Hawk-ish – “Meddlesome woman!” I will go out just before bedtime tonight to say “good night” to the world, to look at the stars and to whisper a prayer of thanks for the “real coming of God to us.”

Then the money will be split and part used to save The Cloisters.” You can see the trouble coming. Durr calls it a “sweet, family play” that’s OK for kids. “I would let my 8-year-old neighbor see it,” she says. Durr graduated from Powell High in 1974, married and stayed home to raise her daughter, Marie Loren, now a
student at UT-Chattanooga. Although she was in drama in high school and performed briefly with Theatre Knoxville, she had not acted in 28 years when Buell Black picked her for the role of Ethel Savage. Durr was stage manager for “The Night of my Enemy” at the Powell Playhouse where she serves on the advisory board. “It was just wonderful to meet new people and see old friends,” she said. Currently, the performers and volunteers are planning a cast party for the one-year anniversary. Durr served on the board of Foothills Craft Guild for nine years. She is an artist who specializes in framed and matted pressed botanicals (leaves, flowers and ferns).

A gold star flag is given to the mother of someone who died in the military. This particular one is in remembrance and honor of Sgt. Joseph “Joey” D. Hunt of Sweetwater, assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Tennessee National Guard, Sparta, Tenn., killed Aug. 22, 2005, when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee during patrol operations in Samarra, Iraq. His parents are Tim and Marsha Hunt, and his children are Caleb and Joshua Hunt.
‘Flags on tour’ By Theresa Edwards Woodmen of the World presents “Flags on tour” throughout East Tennessee from Nashville to Bristol for groups such as churches and schools, showing and teaching people about a wide variety of American flags. Several Woodmen field associates present the program throughout the state. “A lot of people don’t know about where those flags came from, what the colors represent, who created them. We go in and teach those things and instances about the
flags,” said Knoxville field associate William Witucki. The program began a few years ago by Rochelle Cordova, Woodmen fraternal coordinator. She explained, “I was actually given this flag (a 50-star United States flag accepted July 4, 1960, autographed by designer Bob Heft on July 4, 2007) and that’s what started it. I wanted so many people to see it that it kind of took on a life of its own after that. People started giving me flags and we started collecting some amazing flags. That’s how it all got rolling.” Cordova
Founder of “tour of flags” Rochelle Cordova, fraternal coordinator, and field representative William Witucki of Woodmen of the World stand in front of the “Flag of Honor.” The inscription states: “This flag is created from the names of those who perished in the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Now and forever it represents their immortality. We shall never forget them.” Photos by T. Edwards of TEPHOTOS.com
now has about 200 flags and shows about 15 in group presentations. “This is a great opportunity for Woodmen to help educate the public on something we are passionate about as well,” said Cordova. Among the flags she shows and tells about is a retired 48-star American flag which is
at least 52 years old. It has gold fringes on it, and shows its wear with a tear in it. “Every flag has a story, and it means something to somebody” she explains. Another type is service flags. The blue-star flag represents a person who has been deployed in service. The silver-star flag
stands for the wounded warrior. The gold-star flag is in remembrance and honor of someone who died in service, the ultimate sacrifice. A gold-star flag is presented to the service person’s mother and/or other family members. The Woodmen then show it on the tour of flags until 1,000 or more people have seen it,
touched it and added their wish or prayer into it in memory of the lost veteran. Then the flag is presented back to the family who knows their loved one will not be forgotten. To request a presentation of the tour of flags, contact Cordova at Rcordova@woodmen.org or 690-5050.

Laundry day, 60 years ago MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell The downturn in the economy has placed considerable hardships on retail establishments. That fact is evident by the number of vacant commercial buildings. But one business that seems to be doing well is the dry cleaning business. I recently counted about five dry cleaning establishments in our general vicinity, and they all appear to be thriving. And when I think about the number of cleaners available today, I also think about how we cleaned and maintained our clothes in the Shell house 60 years ago. There was only one dry cleaning establishment in the area in the mid-1950s, and that was operated by E.R. “Red” Davis. It was

been invented, so those few clothes that needed starch were placed in a pan of water with liquid starch. These items were usually handled separately from the main wash. We had a state-of-theart iron, but it never had a temperature selector, so when it got too hot you simply unplugged it and let it cool down. We had several of these old irons, which we used as door stops. Hopefully, the current recession will soon run its course and things will return to normal. But even if our current situation is the new normal, I cannot envision a time when most people would have to resort to the conditions of 60 years ago. But then, 60 years ago, we considered the amount of effort required to maintain our clothes as being perfectly normal. At any rate, the dry cleaning and laundry business will probably remain a necessity in our modern world. Most people will give up other conveniences to wear a nice dress shirt every day and a wellpressed pair of trousers.

bed linen in the house and putting down newspapers for it to drip on. We never paid much attention to the weather because laundry still had to be done on Monday because Tuesday was ironing day. Everyone in the Village must have followed the same ironing schedule because almost every yard had clothes on their clothesline on Monday. I don’t know if this was simply coincidental or if the woman decided on the specific day at a quilting party or other gettogether. The one thing I do remember is that there was very little cooking to be done on wash day, so food had to be prepared in advance the day before. On Tuesday ironing day we always set up the ironing board in the kitchen. I am not sure why we chose that room. Today, most people have a laundry room with a fold-down ironing board. But ironing in the kitchen had its advantages since it was close to the stove and refrigerator where you could get a cup of coffee or a cool drink of water. Spray starch had not yet

located near the presentday Farragut Cleaners, but if Red had depended on my family for business, he would not have stayed in business long. I only had two suits and they were worn only on Sunday when we went to church. One was summer weight seersucker and the other was wool flannel, and they visited the cleaners about every three years. I don’t remember having more than two white shirts, but I am sure we washed them every week because we washed and ironed everything but winter coats. As I look back on it now, the thing that sticks in my mind is the regimentation of laundry day. People drop off laundry and dry cleaning at their
favorite cleaners every day of the week. But 60 years ago, we did the washing only on Monday, and that was an all-day job. We had an old tub-type washer with an attached wringer, but you had to heat the water on the stove to pour in the tub, and when you thought the clothes had agitated enough, you emptied the water through a hose into a bucket to be carried outside. There was no spin cycle, so after rinsing you ran the clothes through a wringer to press out most of the water, but that was tough on buttons. However, we considered ourselves blessed because some of our neighbors didn’t have a washer and had to scrub their laundry on a washboard. As for drying, the clothesline was the only alternative. This worked well on bright summer days when there was a good breeze, but the winter months presented more of a problem. We had a series of temporary clotheslines that could be set up on our back porch to use during bad weather, but I can also remember bringing frozen

‘Like they’re my own’ LaDonna Madden knows a thing or two about pets. She’s worked in a veterinarian’s office and has seven dachshunds and a Chihuahua at home. Her motto at Creekside Pet Resort, which she opened in April, is “It’s a pet thing.”

“It’s for them, the pets,” she said. “When you go on vacation, this is their vacation. They’re not going to jail. This is their Club Med.” And she means it. Madden has strict cleanliness standards for indoor and outdoor areas. All dogs get exercise every two hours in the two grassy, fenced, shady acres behind Creekside. “I love these dogs like they’re my own. I call them my kids,” Madden said. “I know how I would want mine treated.” That’s the secret to Creekside’s success, and with reservations full over Memorial Day weekend, it’s safe to call the kennel a success. Madden knows her business, knows what makes other pet owners happy and fulfills that need. Creekside sends photos home with pets who stay overnight or for daycare. Madden is even planning a doggie day camp for three weeks this summer, with crafts, a beach party and even a soccer match. On top of that, she doesn’t forget to give back

NEWS FROM NIELSON CHIROPRACTIC 8 out of 10 people will experience some kind of back pain in their lifetime and since that pain often Dr. Nielson affects the ability to perform everyday functions, patients will seek the help of a chiropractor. Chiropractic care can help. See article to the right
Dr. Philip Nielson Nielson Chiropractic 4010 Fountain Valley Drive, Suite 3 Knoxville, TN 37918

Effective treatment for back pain Back pain is a common problem seen in daily practice, and a great deal has been written about it. Unfortunately, there is little consensus about which types of treatment are most effective. A new study indicates that a multi-disciplinary approach—one that combines medical care, exercise, and chiropractic—may be the best way to reduce long-term disability in patients with low back pain. This large study examined 1,334 patients with back pain who sought treatment at 181 general practices throughout the country. The patients were divided into randomized treatment groups: “Of six groups of participants, one received only best care in general practice. The other ďŹ ve
received best care plus an intervention—exercise, or manipulation followed by exercise.â€? The study participants were given a wide variety of surveys to complete, and they were retested three months after the beginning of treatment, and again at 12 months. Here’s what the analysis of the data found: â– All of the patients improved from baseline. â– Pain levels in the “medical treatment plus manipulationâ€? dropped from about 61 before treatment (on a scale of 0 to 100) to 41 after treatment—a signiďŹ cant decrease. The authors conclude with following key ďŹ ndings: â– â€œâ€ŚExercise improves back
function by a small, but statistically signiďŹ cant margin at three months; it also achieves sustained reductions in disability and pain, and in adverse beliefs about back pain.â€? ■“Manipulation improves back function by a small to moderate margin at three months and a small but signiďŹ cant margin at 12 months; it also achieves sustained improvements in disability and pain, adverse back beliefs, and general physical health.â€? ■“Combined treatment improves back function by a moderate margin at three months and a small but signiďŹ cant margin at 12 months; generally it achieves little more than manipulation, except for much greater improvements in be-
liefs about back pain and fear avoidance.� .� This study illustrates that the most effective treatment ment for back pain is one that involves medical and chiropractic actic professionals. When medical care is combined with an exerxercise program and spinal manipulation, the authors found a reduction in disability and an improvement in genen eral health that lasted at least 12 months after initial treatment.
–UK Beam Trial Team Dr. Nielson believes in working hand in hand with the medical community to secure the very best results for his patients. Please call him for a consultation to relieve your back pain.

News from First Tennessee
100 years of scouting Girl Scout program pays high dividends By Pam Fansler Juliette Gordon Low, who founded the Girl Scouts 100 years ago, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (posthu mou s l y) along with coach Pat S u m m i tt, Fansler Bob Dylan and others last week. Low believed that girls should receive the same opportunities as boys to devel-
op physically, mentally and spiritually, a radical notion in an era when women did not even have the right to vote. Today, the Girl Scouts is the largest girl-serving organization in the United States with 112 councils serving 2.3 million girls ages 5-17 through the commitment of 878,000 adult volunteers with a mission of building girls of courage, conďŹ dence and character, who make the world a better place. First Tennessee is proud to be a major sponsor of the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. First Tennessee employees have served as troop leaders and in various board positions and
committee positions with the Girl Scouts. According to Booth Kammann, CEO of the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians, “Girl Scout alumnae are more likely to vote, to volunteer in their community, have higher income and are generally more satisďŹ ed with their lives than non-Girl Scouts.â€? Kammann shared an interesting statistic: 80 percent of female business owners, 69 percent of female U.S. senators, and 67 percent of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts. Girls represent one of humanity’s greatest untapped talent pools. Investing in them brings enormous returns to society.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Former Joint Center patient cheers on other knee patients “Just do it!” is Dennis Kimbrough’s advice to those considering knee replacement surgery. “The longer you wait, the longer you’ll hurt.” The 63-year-old Kimbrough had endured knee pain for decades after injuring his knee playing sandlot football in college. Although he had his knee operated on back in 1975 and had been active for decades, in recent years Kimbrough’s knee pain returned. “It really started hurting,” says Kimbrough. “Some mornings the bottom of my knee would move and the top would stay in place. It was enough to drive you nuts!”
“Fort Sanders is a great place to get a new knee!” – Dennis Kimbrough Kimbrough consulted with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Casey at Fort Sanders Regional. “Dr. Casey told me I had two choices,” remembers Kimbrough. “I could keep doing cortisone shots and wear a knee brace or get it fixed. I chose to get it fixed!”
Dr. Casey performed a total knee replacement on Kimbrough at the Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional. Kimbrough is Former knee surgery patient thrilled with the results. Dennis Kimbrough now serves as a “He went in and he did it! I’ve coach for other patients at the Fort got a whole new knee. I can walk Sanders Joint Center. farther, with less pain, than I have in years,” says Kimbrough. “I can’t do cartwheels anymore, but it’s great to be able to walk around now without worrying my knee may pop out of place.” Choosing Fort Sanders for his knee replacement was a perfect fit for Kimbrough. He was already familiar with the Fort Sanders Joint Center program from serving as a volunteer surgery patient coach at the hospital. “The patients I coached told me the Joint Center program was the best way to have knee or hip surgery. Now I can speak from my own firsthand experience.” Kimbrough underwent his knee replacement procedure in February of 2011. “It was great because I already knew the nurses and therapists. My experience with “Dr. C,” the nurses and physical therapists and encourage Joint Center you get, the tougher the knee at Fort Sanders was totally patients at Fort Sanders. rehabilitation gets. Get her done!” positive!” “I tell them when it comes says Kimbrough. “Fort Sanders is Kimbrough continues to coach to knee surgery, the older a great place to get a new knee!”
Early rehab can speed knee surgery recovery The sooner rehabilitation begins after knee replacement, the better for both patients and hospitals, new research suggests. In a recent study in the Clinical Rehabilitation Journal, Spanish researchers compared more than 150 patients who began rehabilitation within 24 hours after knee arthroplasty surgery and a matched control group of patients who started rehabilitation 48 to 72 hours after surgery. All of the patients were age 50 to 75. On average, patients who started rehabilitation earlier spent two days less in the hospital and had five fewer rehabilitation sessions before they were discharged than those in the control group. The patients in the early rehabilitation group also had less pain, a greater range of joint motion, improved muscle strength, and scored higher on gait and balance tests. Other benefits of early patient mobility include reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections and complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, chest infection and urinary infection.

Get back on your feet faster with the Fort Sanders Joint Center An estimated 50 million Americans have some form of arthritis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because medication can’t always control the pain, each year nearly 800,000 adults will have knee or hip replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is when a surgeon cuts away the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with a joint made of materials like surgical plastic and metal. This is a difficult surgery, but can go as smoothly as possible under the coordinated, team approach of the Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Basically, these are well people, but they have a joint problem,” explains Fellowshiptrained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Edkin. He is the comedical director of the Fort Sanders Joint Center. “We’re going to have this problem fixed, and then after surgery, you’re going to recover quickly.” Patients at the Fort Sanders Joint Center attend a class a couple of weeks before their surgery. Taught by nurses and physical therapists, the class gives patients and their care givers an opportunity to get to know each other. It also prepares patients for the fact that they’ll be up and out of bed shortly
after surgery. Studies have shown this is the quickest way to recuperate. “Patients usually get up and walk the afternoon of surgery,” says Dr. Edkin. “They walk the hospital floors and do physical therapy every day, often with other patients. This camaraderie helps push patients to work and try harder,” Dr. Edkin says. “It leads to quicker recovery.” New technologies in joint devices mean there’s no real reason to wait to walk, explains Dr. Edkin. “We used to say don’t put your full weight on the joint. But now we give the patient the decision-making ability on that, as soon as they feel ready they can put full weight on it.” Pain management, too, is more sophisticated today,
“Basically, these are well people, but they have a joint problem.” – Dr. Brian Edkin, Fort Sanders Joint Center targeting pain while minimizing nausea, a common side effect. “If the medicine you’re giving
them makes them feel lousy, that really hampers the rehabilitation effort,” says Dr. Edkin. “The way we give medicine today is less likely to do that.” “Most patients go home just two days after surgery and do very well,” Dr. Edkin adds. “We almost never hear from a patient who says they left too soon,” he says. “The best, safest, most comfortable place for you to be is at home.” For more information about the Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional, phone 865-673-FORT (3678).
