District 6 state Senate GOP hopefuls speak at forum By Jake Mabe The three candidates seeking the Republican nomination for the state Senate seat being vacated by Jamie Woodson made their cases at the Halls Business & Professional Club meeting at Beaver Brook last week. Victoria DeFreese is a 6th grade reading and language arts teacher at Whittle Springs Middle School. She served a seven-month appointment on County Commission after Black Wednesday, representing the 9th District. She says she’s a strong advocate for education and the Constitution. She says she supports the Second Amendment and would “stand strong behind no state income tax.” Becky Duncan Massey has served as executive director of the Sertoma Center for 13 years. She says her job has taken her to Nashville to work with the state Legislature and she has come to Becky Duncan Massey, Marilyn Roddy and Victoria DeFreese shake hands after the Halls B&P candidates’ forum at Beaver believe that the district should be Brook Country Club last week. They are running for the Republican nomination for the state Senate District 6 seat being To page A-3 vacated by Jamie Woodson. Photo by Jake Mabe

City Council likely to close fireworks ‘loophole’ before July 4 By Betty Bean Last month, Knoxville City Council voted 6-3 to deny a request from the city’s police and fire chiefs to close an unintended loophole in the city code that legalizes fireworks inside the city limits. Two weeks ago, council member Nick Pavlis moved to reconsider the action, and council reversed itself by an 8-1 vote. The ordinance comes up for a second reading Tuesday night, and if it is approved, amateur fireworks displays will again be illegal in time for the Fourth of July holiday. Pavlis said he voted “no” in May because he considered the ordinance unenforceable, but changed his mind after conversa-

tions with Knoxville Police Department Chief David Rausch. He cited fire and injury hazards. “There was a time when I put a rocket in a bottle,” Pavlis said. “When it goes up in the air, nobody has any control over where that device ends up. If it’s dry outside, there’s a good chance it could cause a fire.” Council member Joe Bailey voted with the majority in May and remains unconvinced in June. “This is a good time for us to promote personal responsibility,” he said. “I still have 10 fingers and haven’t had my eye blown out. I learned from my parents the dangers of matches, gunpowder and dry fields. I wish this hadn’t been brought up. If we start seeing people’s

Nick Pavlis. Photo by B. Bean to modernize its codes, fireworks were not addressed. “It was not done intentionally,” Sharp said. “Apparently, at the time no one realized it could open up that door.” The chiefs emphasized that outlawing amateur fireworks will have no effect on profes-

sional pyrotechnics like those over Fort Loudoun Lake or Chilhowee Park. Council member Brenda Palmer voted to close the loophole in May and remains a strong supporter of closing the fireworks loophole. She said she had been researching the issue and learned that large sparklers heat up to 1,800 degrees and are responsible for many children’s injuries. “It would have been a positive thing for me to be able to say to my rambunctious son ‘No, Don, you may not purchase those because it’s illegal to have them.’ It’s a support mechanism for parents, many of whom do not have a clue what their kids are going to do on the Fourth of July.”

Mayor gets creative with Carter financing Will ‘show the money’ to school board next week Larry Van Guilder

roofs are being burned, I’ll do something else.” Rausch told council members that KPD’s most serious enforcement problem comes from nonspecific complaints: “somebody’s shooting off fireworks in my neighborhood.” “If someone calls us and gives us a specific address and location, we will dispatch officers. And if we catch someone with illegal fireworks, we will take action,” Rausch said. Knoxville Fire Department Chief Stan Sharp explained that consumer fireworks (not the smaller novelty items like “poppers” or the miniature sparklers sold in party stores) had been illegal for decades under the old Southern Building Code. When the city moved

We’ve been asking Knox County government, the school system, the developer and the Industrial Development Board to “show us the money” for a new Carter Elementary School. Mayor Tim Burchett came through with a plan

Analysis last week to raise money by selling county properties and using a portion of $5 million in capital funds denied to the school system in its FY 2011 budget request. Knox County Purchasing negotiated a $13.88 million price tag

with Devon Group, the successful bidder. The developer will arrange its own construction financing, and the county will make a lump sum payment to Devon when the school is ready for occupancy. The mayor will propose to school board, County Commission and the IDB that $2.5 million of that payment be drawn upon the school board’s resurrected $5 million capital request for renovations to the aging elementary school, a new Carter Middle School gym and other improvements. Burchett’s plan would restore $2.5 million in funding for the gym and various improvements, with the balance going to Devon. Burchett proposes raising the lion’s share of the money, about $11.38 million, by selling county properties. With the exception

of the property on Joe Daniels Road, currently occupied by Natural Resources Recovery and appraised for about $1.19 million, the mayor’s office will not specify which properties may be considered. Burchett will present the plan to Burchett the school board at either its July 5 workshop or at the regular board meeting on July 6. As of last Friday, he was meeting individually with board members. If the plan meets with school board, commission and IDB approval, neither the county nor the school board would take on new debt, nor will the IDB need to issue bonds.

The school board still must convey the property for the new school to the IDB. With the school system effectively receiving a new elementary school for $2.5 million under the mayor’s proposal, that shouldn’t hold up the deal. What may hold it up is finding enough debt-free properties around Knox County to generate more than $11 million in cash in a depressed market to pay the rest of the bill. Even the Joe Daniels Road property will effectively sell for a loss if sold at the appraised value. Knox County has invested millions in upgrades to the property since NRR began operations there. The mayor’s plan still lacks specifics about what properties are available to close the cash gap. It’s creative, but not complete.

Halls Greenway to close for stream project The Halls Greenway will close for about seven to 10 working days in July while a crew works on a stream restoration project.

Rotary honors Clark “I know you don’t like to be the center of attention, but in this case you deserved it.” Those words were spoken by Phil Parkey, president of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville, informing ShopperNews publisher Sandra Clark that she had been named a Paul Harris Fellow by The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. This is Rotary’s highest honor for a nonRotarian and was made possible by a gift of $1,000 by the West Knoxville club. The Shopper-News partnered with the West Knoxville Rotary in 2010-11 to promote projects, speakers and club activities including the Rotary Jam, an evening of music that was the club’s chief fundraiser. Clark brought the same dedication and energy to the partnership with the club that she brings every day to this newspaper. Although she shuns the spotlight, there would be no Shopper-News without Sandra Clark. Her involvement with Rotary is just one example of her commitment to staying in touch with and strengthening the communities we serve. In short, she walks the walk. Congratulations to our publisher for this richly deserved recognition. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

James White III passes James F. White III, of Atlanta, passed away June 1. He was a business appraiser with Houlihan Advisors of the Southeast. White was also a veteran of the U.S. Navy. Survived by wife, Marjorie Witt-White; brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Jennifer White; nephew, Benjamin White; and sister-in-law, Peggy Hopson Davis of Halls. Services were held June 7, at the Georgia National Cemetery.

Knox County Watershed Coordinator Roy Arthur said last week that a crew will begin staking out the project today (Monday, June 27) and that construction is slated to begin the second week of July and will last seven to 10 working days, weather permitting. Construction will begin at the bridge that crosses Beaver Creek into the greenway at the Food City parking lot and will go 1,000 feet up the stream toward the community park. “We’re not going to move the creek, but we’re going to widen certain areas, put in habitat features and cut some of the trees down,” Arthur said. “We’ve got four areas to widen and it will recreate a natural stream pool riffle sequence without re-meandering the stream.” Arthur says the greenway will close when the project is mobilized for construction and that the bridge connecting the greenway to the Food City parking lot will also be closed. Total cost of the project is $150,000, the majority of which is federal grant funds administered by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Arthur says that roughly $30,000 is donated services from the project’s partners, which include the Beaver Creek Task Force, Knox County Stormwater Management, Knox County Parks and Recreation, the

To date, through this grant we have put approximately $400,000 into the local economy and that figure will double by the end of 2012.” LBS Services is the project’s contractor. Arthur is the project manager. Arthur said the project will help increase Beaver Creek’s bottom-dwelling bug population, which will increase the fish population because the bugs are a food source for the fish. “The public will also have more access to the stream because they will be able to walk down to it.

Blueberries abound at Farmers Market The Farmers Market at New Harvest Park hosted a blueberry celebration last week in honor of that sweet little blue fruit. Vendors lined the walkway to offer up some of the best fruits, vegetables, plants and baked goods in the area. Culinary students from the University of Tennessee were on hand with cooking demonstrations on making blueberry bacon biscuits and no-bake blueberry cheesecake. The Farmers Market is open 3-6 p.m. every Thursday through mid-November, followed by a three-week holiday market after Thanksgiving. Each third Thursday of the month special demonstrations are featured. On July 21 the market will highlight Pick Tennessee Products. The market is in its fourth season and now accepts EBT cards.

Paul Baxter and Glenda Ross of Greenbriar Farm hosted a blueberry workshop at the Blueberry Festival held at the Farmers Market at New Harvest Park. They will host a handson workshop titled “How to Blueberry” 2-5 p.m. Sunday, June 26, on the farm in Norris. Preregistration is required. Register on the website, www.eatyouryard.biz.

City to end ‘backyard inequity’ No more selective backyard garbage pickup By Betty Bean Some 15,000 city residents who have enjoyed decades of free backyard garbage pickup while others lug their garbage cans to the curb will lose that privilege when the city’s curbside recycling program kicks in this fall. Solid waste director David Brace says the letters informing affected households of the change went out May 23. “We are ending backyard inequity,” Brace said. “There had been public discussions of this for a long time.” Consultants brought up the idea of ending backyard pickup and starting curbside recycling at a workshop in December 2009. Mayor Dan Brown mentioned it in his budget address this year. Backyard pickup costs the city about $2 a month more per household than curbside pickup – a $360,000 annual price tag for a service that most citizens do not get. It has been available in parts of Fountain City, North

Hills, Holston Hills, Sequoyah Hills and West Hills. Only those who are disabled or more than 75 years old will be eligible to keep getting free backyard pickup. Others must pay. “It started out as a suburban Brace thing in the gridded traditional neighborhoods that surround the core of the city, like a donut with a big hole in the middle,” Brace said. “We got into researching recycling and consultants pointed out this huge inefficiency and inequity. We don’t see it as trading one service for another, but ending backdoor could offset the costs of adding a new service.”

Brace’s department is taking applications for curbside recycling. The first 20,000 to sign up can get the new free service. Anyone who is already paying Waste Connections for curbside recycling will automatically be enrolled in the no-pay program. As of June 21, there were 13,471 signups – more than 10,000 of which are applications for new service. If interest is strong enough, Brace said he will go to City Council and ask for more money to expand the program. The pilot program is capped at 20,000 subscribers because the city’s consultants recommended that number, Brace said. “One purpose of that was to motivate behavior and build on that marketing momentum. It’s one thing to say you want to sign up; it’s another thing to call 311 and get it done.”

When asked if the city is getting many complaints from those who are losing the backyard perk, he said there have been fewer than he expected. “The majority of our complaints are coming from people who got the letter but have not been receiving the service. “They are the people who are the maddest. There are about 150 people asking ‘Has the city been paying for this?’ ” The city will ask for a refund when the exact number of customers who were wrongly billed is determined. Brace says he has heard from people who have safety concerns about placing their garbage cans on the curb and is willing to meet with them to resolve their complaints.

Q&A with the candidates From page A-1

represented by “someone with common sense who has balanced a budget and managed a payroll.” She questions state spending and says she’ll ask “common sense questions to get dollars out of Nashville and back into the communities.” Massey says she is a strong advocate of public education, believes teachers have become scapegoats and will make sure they have the tools to teach. She opposes a state income tax and fees. Marilyn Roddy has served on City Council since 2003. A former teacher, she says she grew up in a family of educators and that two grandparents were small business owners. She says she will promote businesses for the state. She supports a “low tax right-to-work state,” and believes “great public education and great businesses go hand in hand.” Responding to a question about public edu-

cation and the increase in numbers of private schools, Roddy says there is a balance between allowing school choice and making sure that the public schools’ motto is “excellence for all children.” She said she favors as much local control over public schools as possible. “Our job as citizens is to support the public school system, Massey said. “We need to figure out what teachers need, work together and keep refining it to make (the public school system) the best it can be.” DeFreese says she favors an elected superintendent, adding, “there are too many appointed positions in the state of Tennessee.” She says she supports a voucher system because “it would drive competition” and that “individuals can make better choices for their children than a bureaucrat.” The primary election is Sept. 27.

government Three go full time As mayor’s race heats up

Before we examine too closely the strengths and weaknesses of the mayoral candidates, we should collectively voice appreciation for their efforts. It is not easy running for mayor. The campaign started more than a year ago with

Victor Ashe

Marilyn Roddy driving the pace with early events and fundraising. Now she has moved on to a state Senate race, abandoning her former opponents. But these candidates have dropped whatever else they were doing and now seek full time to win your support. With about three months until the city primary, it is already heating up between Mark Padgett and Madeline Rogero. Padgett threw the first punch claiming Rogero is anti- small business. Rogero denied

it and claimed all of this was “courthouse politics,” reminding voters of Padgett’s family ties to the old courthouse. Given that both have strong ties to the local Democratic Party, these attacks and counterattacks will only increase and help Harmon if a food fight develops. One wonders if they will start examining where the other stands on specific issues. Padgett had previously criticized Rogero for not doing enough on codes enforcement when she was a city director for Bill Haslam. All claim to be for transparency in government, but none has disclosed any personal financial information such as tax returns or net worth or even real property they own in Knox County. One wonders if the local media will pursue this issue which they discussed so much in the 2010 governor’s contest. Meanwhile, Ivan Harmon operates below the radar screen and continues going door-to-door in his down-to-earth, likeable way.

NOTES ■ The Knox County Republican Party chair hosted a meet and greet this past Saturday at Wright’s for Ivan Harmon, whom he described as the Republican candidate. Now the city election is legally and officially nonpartisan. This may help Harmon in the short run by getting Republican voters behind him. However, Harmon should remember the city (unlike the whole county) is not Republican. It is Democratic with Gore beating Bush, Kerry beating Bush, Obama beating McCain and Bredesen defeating Van Hilleary in the city precincts. If a purely partisan race occurs, then the Democratic candidate benefits. ■ Interesting that two con-

tests provide a contrast in age. Both Rogero and Harmon are old enough to be Padgett’s parents. Bill Owen is old enough to be the father of either Marshall Stair or Tierney Bates, who are his rivals. ■ TVA is not being candid on why David Mould left a $276,000 a year job as communications director after less than two years. Obviously, he was told to leave, but why? Ratepayers are entitled to know. They are also entitled to know how much the media consultants they now have are being paid. Where is Neil McBride, new TVA director, on this? He should be telling us if management will not. He has always backed openness before he was on the TVA board.

Mr. Answer Man has the answers This week Mr. Answer Man returns from a welldeserved hiatus. His mailbox is crammed, so let’s get started. Q: Mr. Answer Man, W.C. Fields once said, “Any man who hates dogs and babies can’t be all bad.” Looking over the cuts to nonprofits in this year’s Knox County budget, do you think Mayor Tim Burchett fits that description? A: You’re wrong on a couple of counts. First, it was writer Leo Rosten who said that about Fields. Second, we know that Tim is a warmhearted, sentimental soul who tears up at the drop of a hat. (You should be ashamed of yourself for asking such a question – Tim signs your paycheck, Mr. Rice!) Q: The property tax rate has not been increased in Knox County since before the turn of the century. Has any city or county in

Larry Van Guilder

the U.S. gone longer without a tax increase? A: Great question. Hibberts Gore, Maine, has never levied a property tax, and not a single resident voted for the most recent effort to impose one. According to the 2010 U.S. census, the population of Hibberts Gore is 1. Q: Hello, Mr. Answer Man. What is a “TIF,” and can I get one? I understand it is worth a lot of money. A: “TIF” is an acronym for “This Is Fantastic.” If you’re dreaming of creating a strip mall or hotel that may create dozens of minimum wage jobs, TIF dollars may be just what you need to bring your vision to life. Before applying, answer

of his fellow commissioners saw through his sentimentality to reject wasteful spending on seniors and the homeless, thus preserving funds for their own travel allowances. Q: Yo, Mr. Answer Man! I bet my wife you couldn’t come up with an example of irony involving our state legislators. A: State Rep. Ryan Haynes, a lawmaker, sponsored legislation that says it’s OK to break the law by turning right on red without stopping as long as the only witness is a camera. (You lose.) Q: It’s me again, Mr. Answer Man. What’s the chance for a similar law for left turns? A: This state has been turning right since Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Mr. Answer Man doesn’t see any left turning laws in the General Assembly’s immediate future. Contact: lvgknox@mindspring.com.

GOP foray into mayor’s race unlikely to succeed By Betty Bean Will party politics play a role in this year’s city elections? Should they? And if they do, will that benefit Republican candidates? Evidently Republican Party chair Ray Jenkins thinks the answer to those questions is yes. He has a right to feel pretty good after last year’s county elections left County Commission with only two Democrats standing, as evidenced by the email he sent out last week on his Knox County Republican Party letterhead, complete with a border of happy red, white and blue pachyderms. It was an invitation to the faithful to join mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon (the only Republican left in the race) at Wright’s Cafeteria to hear about his

Betty Bean vision for creating jobs, lowering taxes and making city government smaller and more accountable. Rousing language for a tea party convention, but is it a winning template for city elections? Jenkins, whose family name is synonymous with old-time GOP machine politics, county style, might be tempted to think so. The last time a Democrat was elected mayor was when Randy Tyree won a second term in 1979. But Jenkins, who lives in East Knox County and isn’t eligible to vote in the city, evidently assumes that city and county poli-

Common sense and civility are dead Long live the mob. The comments in the local daily newspaper on the story of Commissioner Amy Broyle’s problems with a county employee who repeatedly sent her vulgar and insulting emails is cause for more than head-shaking despair. The vast majority were written by individuals who lack not only common sense, but the ability to so much as spell “civility.” We hardly expect critical think-

these questions: (a) I contributed (blank) to (blank) commissioners’ last election campaigns. (b) Does your car have a bumper sticker that reads “I love The Development Corporation?” (c) Should a developer pay for infrastructure improvements that mainly benefit the developer’s project? The correct answers are: (a) as much as I could to as many as I could (b) yes (c) never. Good luck! Q: I watched County Commission’s budget meeting recently, and I noticed that Commissioner Mike Brown made a couple of comments about how we’ll be remembered for how we treat the least able among us. Was he on to something? A: Commissioner Brown’s heart is in the right place, but he forgot that in this country we believe no man or woman is any more “able” than the next. Fortunately, enough

ing to emerge as a hallmark of the cesspool comments section in the newspaper, and it rarely does. Slap a story on the website that involves race, immigration or abortion and the mob is soon in full throat. But common sense? Isn’t it common sense to conclude that an employee of county government who decides to send vile emails to a sitting commissioner (or any other county official for that matter) will

STOWERS

lose his job if his actions are uncovered? I can’t imagine a private company in which that behavior would be tolerated. And maybe civility is too much to ask for from folks whose keyboard engages with little or no assistance from their intellect. Still, I’m going to miss common sense and civility. May they rest in peace. – L. Van Guilder

tics are interchangeable. He is not the first to make that assumption, and in doing so he is thumbing his nose at the old adage about what happens to those who ignore history. In 1991, the late Claude Robertson, a noted attorney and longtime Republican stalwart, ran a disastrous GOP-centric campaign against sitting mayor Victor Ashe, who was always relentlessly bipartisan in his approach to city politics. In 2001, Republican Tim Wheeler ran for the 5th District City Council seat fortified with endorsements from county Mayor Mike Ragsdale and a gaggle of GOP stalwarts. He got his clock cleaned by Bob Becker, a not-fromhere labor union organizer who was the voice for the Living Wage campaign. In 2006, Democrat Harold Ford Jr. lost a bid for the U.S. Senate but carried the Knoxville city wards handily.

Pavlis, who is a regular attendee at the Boyd Cloud Democratic Club, has been elected to City Council three times by comfortable margins and doesn’t see the point to bringing partisan politics into city races. “I go to Lincoln Day and I go to Truman Day. I buy ads in both books. It’s set up to be nonpartisan and I enjoy support from both sides of the aisle. In return, I think it is my responsibility to give attention to both sides of the aisle. Neither party should get really involved in council or mayoral races.”

INDEPENDENCE DAY John Adams said “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival;” Furthermore he states “it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, gun balls, bonﬁres, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

The year Sam Houston taught school PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

ARYVILLE – Here’s a bit of

trivia you may not know. Who is the only person to serve as governor of two states? I’ll give you a hint. He’s also the only head of a foreign state to serve as a member of Congress. Give up? Well, the answer is Sam Houston, and here’s something else you may not know: he also taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Blount County from May to November 1812. And that’s kind of ironic, to hear Marleitta Cooper tell it. She plays the schoolmarm here at the Historic Sam Houston Schoolhouse and says that Sam wasn’t much of a student. “He kept running away from school, so his mother had to lock him in his father’s library,” Cooper says. “Sam read everything in it by the age of 12.” He particularly liked a translation of Homer’s “The Iliad,” calling it “the biggest adventure I’d ever read” and memorizing most of the story’s 24 books. Remember all this because it’ll become important here in a minute. Born near Lexington, Va., in 1793, Sam moved to Blount County with his recently widowed mother and eight brothers and sisters when he was 13. They settled on 400 acres that Houston’s father, Sam, had patented before his death. The property is located in south Blount County, almost to Greenback. Cooper says young Sam enjoyed the adventure of moving here, but quickly became unhappy clerking for his brothers, James and John, in a Maryville dry goods store. So he ran away at age 16 to live for about three years with a Cherokee Indian tribe near Hiwassee. The Cherokee dubbed Houston with the nickname “The Raven.” He came to love the calico cloth the Indians used to make their clothing and ran up a $100 bill in his brothers’ store for the material. After he returned home, his brothers told Sam he’d have to pay the bill

The Sam Houston Schoolhouse is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1-5 p.m. Sundays and is closed on holidays. Admission is $1 and children 12 and under are admitted free.

What does prayer change? CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? (Matthew 5: 43-46a NRSV)

had made a promise, and I failed to keep it. It was not a huge, life-changing promise, and I didn’t purposely fail to keep it. It happened like this:

A member of the church where I was serving as director of music (this was my first “real” church job, for real money) had asked me to unlock the back door of the

church for her at a set time. I forgot. I just plain forgot. On the appointed day, which, in my own defense, was my day off, unlocking that door never once entered my mind. The person who had asked me to unlock the door was disappointed, and when I say she was disappointed, what I mean is, she was irate. As in, livid. She was convinced I had neglected my duty just to inconvenience her. But did she speak to me about it? Heavens, no! That would have been much too forthright and healthy. No, she went straight to the pastor. (Psychologists call this maneuver “triangulation”: bringing in a third party to commiserate and side with the wounded party.) Our pastor was a small man, and wise, but when he carried an

He began practicing law in Lebanon, Tenn., and was later appointed state attorney general. Houston served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1823-25 and again from 1825-27. He was elected governor of the state of Tennessee in 1827. Jackson later appointed Houston to be an Indian agent in Arkansas. In 1832, Houston left for Texas and became embroiled in the politics of what was then a Mexican territory. Joining the Texas Army, he later became a hero at the Battle of San Jacinto, was twice elected president of the resulting Republic of Texas and later served as a U.S. senator and governor of Texas after it became a U.S. state. As a Unionist governor, he bitterly opposed secession and even refused to accept its legality after

umbrella, he reminded me of no one so much as Jiminy Cricket. He did not look at all like someone who could impose his will on an angry pillar of the church. He invited her into his study, and listened to her tale of betrayal, inconvenience and disappointment. And then he said an extraordinary thing. He said to her, “Irene” – that’s how I like my irony served up: her name was from the Greek for “peace” – “Irene, I want you to do something for me. I want you to pray for Lynn.” Could you deny Jiminy Cricket anything he asked of you? I didn’t think so. Neither could Irene. I don’t know if she recovered from her anger through her prayers. Of course, as I think about it, I have no way of knowing that she actually prayed for me. She was able to speak to me

Texas voted to join the Confederacy. He was evicted from office in March 1861 and died two years later. His last words, spoken to his third wife, were reportedly, “Texas always, Margaret. Texas always.” Of all his accomplishments during his colorful life, Houston always looked fondly back at the six months he taught in the one-room schoolhouse in East Tennessee. “I experienced a higher feeling of dignity and self-satisfaction from teaching in that little schoolhouse than from any office or honor I have held since.” So says the one guy to have served as governor of two states and as head of a foreign nation.

cordially when she saw me. I have used the Rev. Cricket’s sage advice in my own life many times. I have dished it out to others as well. Someone you don’t like? Pray for them. Someone you can’t get along with? Pray for them. Pray for them by name, with heartfelt fervor. Here is the truth. You cannot pray for someone and hate them at the same time. You cannot pray for someone and hold onto your grudge against them. You cannot pray for someone and wish them ill. Here is the bonus. Letting go of hatred, anger and frustration blesses you as much as it blesses the object of your fury. The old adage says “Prayer changes things.” It has been my experience that what prayer changes most is me.

Donna Fielden, who will be inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame next month, has lived by the lessons she and her sister Lisa learned from her parents, Elbert and Darlene Fielden. A third-generation Halls resident, she was a good student, and always athletic, despite the lack of opportunities for girls to participate in organized sports during her years at Halls High School (she graduated in 1974). She went out for basketball in college and ended up serving as manager for three years under new head coach Pat Summitt (“Pat was afraid I would hurt one of her good players, so she asked me if I wanted to be manager”). She

She moved on to Powell Middle School and then to West High School, where she is an assistant principal.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS the first woman to officiate a boy’s state championship game. She worked her way up to high school games and then to junior college, Division II, Division II and eventually Division I college basketball. Fielden, who prides herself in being a tough disciplinarian, has a tough time keeping her eyes dry when she tells a story abut the last game her dad ever called. It was December 1987, and it went down in state record books as the first time a father and daughter called a game together. Following him into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame nearly overwhelms her: “Daddy was going to call his last game with Doc Simpson, but Doc came down with Lou Gehrig’s disease that spring and

couldn’t do it. Dad always loved Johnson Bible College because they played for the love of the game,” she said. “He handed me one of those old pea whistles etched with Doc’s name. He said ‘Doc called his last game with it and I called my last game with it. Keep its integrity.’ The first call I made in the boy’s state tournament I used Daddy’s and Doc’s whistle. I’ve got it in a case at home that says ‘Daddy and Doc.’ ” On July 28, Donna Fielden will become the first woman and the second Fielden inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame as a referee. She gave up officiating after her father died, but she’s still working to better the lives of young people.

We at Hallsdale-Powell Utility District are proud to salute her as our Community Partner for June 2011.

A ‘university twit’ tells all Larry’s Corner | Larry Van Guilder

alling all publishers! If you haven’t had a look at former Knox County Commissioner Mark Harmon’s latest literary effort, what are you waiting for? Tentatively titled “Crashing the Commission: Confessions of a University Twit,” Harmon’s newest is far removed in tone and topic from “Found, Featured, then Forgotten,” his critical look at media coverage of Vietnam veterans against the war published earlier this year by Newfound Press. “Crashing the Commission” is part autobiography, part political primer and wholly readable. Harmon’s humor – essential for a county commissioner who often found himself on the short end of votes – nicely offsets the more reflective mood he embraces when tackling serious subjects, as when he relates his first “political” victory. “A short, thin young man steps to the microphone at a high school assembly. He has a mop of red hair. His blue eyes are twinkling and he’s giving only a tiny hint of sly smile. “ ‘I’d like to thank all of you who helped take down my election posters,’ he says and pauses,

Former Knox County Commissioner Mark Harmon File photo ‘but I wish you had waited until after the election.’ The audience erupted in laughter that day in 1974, and I became vice president of my senior class.” Harmon grew up in Pittsburgh, the eldest of three children in a family he describes as “not poor, just broke.” At Penn State he developed a love for the academic life that would propel him to graduate studies at Syracuse University and eventually to Ohio University, where he earned a doctorate. A job offer took Harmon to Texas Tech, where the liberal

Democrat found himself a distinct minority in “decidedly Republican” Lubbock. Undaunted, he became involved in partisan issues and decided to run for Congress. His 14-month quixotic quest racked up 33,000 dusty miles on a Geo Prizm. He won the Democratic primary and lost to his Republican opponent in the general election. But along the way he learned something about campaigning about himself: “In the morning … I’d regain my hope and set out on yet another adventure. Those who hate campaigning aren’t doing it right. You must bring joy to each encounter and enjoy even the absurd – like the day I campaigned in Mr. Porky’s, a biker bar in Denton, Texas. I spread my campaign literature on the green felt of the pool table, assured them I had no interest in advancing mandatory helmet laws (their major concern), and got nods of approval and maybe a few votes when I tore into Washington’s corporate welfare as supported by the renting of politicians as needed.” Harmon was again a political underdog after moving to Knoxville and deciding to make a run

Talkin’ baseball TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

There must be conversation material in Andy Simunic going down to Lancaster and getting a hit in his first at-bat. Just guessing but I might do better talking about Tommy Bridges. You don’t know him? His name is carved in marble on the Tennessee lettermen’s wall of fame. He was a 1927-29 Volunteer. Most of us missed seeing him pitch. For a frail, little man, 5-10 and 155, his fastball was considered rather swift. His curve was better. Mind you, this was before speed guns and radar detectors tied to strike zones. Thomas Jefferson Davis Bridges, named for Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States, and for Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, was born three days after Christmas 1906 in downtown Gordonsville. His father was a country doctor. His mama

o, Tennessee baseball is back in the news. That creates opportunities. We could talk about the new coach and what he is going to do to resurrect the team. Or, we could talk about recruiting efforts down the drain when signees take the money and run. We could talk about former Volunteers cashing professional checks, how Todd Helton looks more like himself in Colorado or how many home runs J.P. Arencibia has for the Blue Jays or how Julio Borbon on the disabled list wasn’t much help to the Texas Rangers. We could talk about R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball and rare ability to float over New Yorkers’ heads when the subject is mountain climbing or English lit. We could talk about Luke Hochevar and be glad Kansas City pays for potential rather than productivity.

came out from Nashville. The script called for the lad to grow up and become a friendly physician. Didn’t happen. Tommy was a sober, sensitive young man, good-enough student, but he liked green grass and sunshine better than the chemistry lab. That he survived UT baseball says a lot about spunk and determination. Those were not the good old days. There was no Mike Hamilton to manufacture money. There wasn’t much interest. The team was awful. In Bridges’ three years, the Vols lost all six games to Vanderbilt. They also lost to Hiwassee, Milligan, Maryville and CarsonNewman. For a road trip to Georgia, players pooled their coins and paid their own way. An astute scout for the Detroit Tigers, stirring around in mediocrity, became aware

for a County Commission seat. His plan: “shoe leather,” and lots of it, preceded by a careful analysis of voters in the 2nd District and a plan to visit all but the solid Republicans. Harmon would edge out his opponent, David Collins, with about 54 percent of the vote and serve four colorful years on commission. Following the downsizing of commission from 19 members to 11, Harmon opted not to run for re-election against Amy Broyles. Harmon’s introduction to the power bosses in Knox County left him discouraged but not defeated: “ ‘What do you want?’ That’s what Mayor Mike Ragsdale and his top aide Mike Arms asked to start their individual meeting with me. I was taken aback and stumbled around mentioning everything from policies discouraging sprawl to grants for making healthy locally grown food available to school cafeterias.” Harmon writes that he “probably came across as naïve and idealistic.” If he became less naïve as time passed, his idealism never flagged. The former commissioner devotes considerable space to a dissection of the events of “Black Wednesday” in January 2007 which led to the so-called “Sunshine Trial.” And he recalls

of Tommy Bridges’ big heart, live arm and long fingers and offered a pro contract. Tommy sped up through the ranks, from the Wheeling Stogies to the Evansville Hubs to Detroit city, in August 1930 – after he struck out 20 in one game. Bridges made his major league debut in relief against the famed New York Yankees. Babe Ruth beat a breaking ball into the dirt and was thrown out at first. Lou Gehrig struck out. Tommy shrugged and said the awesome Yanks looked a lot like the men of Johnson Bible College. Fortunately, the New York press did not quote him. What happened after that is intriguing. He married a sweet lady and set some kind of record by spending a lot of money to call home most every day he was on the road. He mowed ’em down in the American League and eventually established himself as the absolute best pitcher not in the hall of fame. Bridges retired the first 26 Washington Senators he saw in 1932 but gave up a pinch single one out short of a perfect game. He won 20 or more three straight seasons. He won one game in the 1934 World Series and pitched two complete-game

the night of a seven-hour commission meeting (attended by a stringer from the New York Times) during which he was bestowed with a nickname that he would soon wear with pride. Former Commissioner Greg “Lumpy” Lambert was not known for his restraint. Defending the practice of county employees holding county office, Lambert asked: “How does that arrogant little university twit sit up there and make those decisions that keep us from having jobs?” “University twit” stuck like glue, and Harmon reveled in it, even printing T-shirts to memorialize the title. There’s much in Harmon’s work that will fascinate the political junkie. The book also includes a sober examination of the July 2008 shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church that left two people dead and several others seriously injured. Harmon’s take on the Knox County political scene as he found it will amuse some, infuriate others and should cause all serious readers to ponder the nature of local government. This book in search of a publisher deserves a home, and we trust it finds one soon.

victories in the following October classic. There was drama at the end of the deciding game. With the score tied at three, Bridges gave up a leadoff triple in the ninth but calmly retired the next three Cubs. Tigers got a run and won. Tommy Bridges was voted America’s second mostfamous athlete in 1935, behind some Notre Dame running back. He was Detroit’s main man for several seasons. Six times he was an all-star. He twice led the AL in strikeouts. The great Charlie Gehringer explained how that happened. “I’ve seen Bridges throw that curve at a guy’s head, and the batter would fall flat on his rear end, thinking it was going to hit him, and the ball would go over the plate for a strike.” Bridges’ curve was so sharp, some thought it might be a spitball. Famous umpire Bill Summers once asked Tommy if he was loading up the ball. “Why, Mr. Summers, don’t you know the spitball has been outlawed for years?” said Bridges with a twinkle in his eyes. “There are no teachers. How would I ever learn to throw one?” Bridges was a key Tiger through 1943, until he got

himself drafted into World War II at the inappropriate age of 37. Rumor has it that he turned to strong drink. When he was discharged, Detroit considered him over the hill. He settled into the Pacific Coast League, pitched four more years, led the league in ERA and notched a no-hitter at age 42. After that, he pitched some more. Bridges drifted downhill. He created a serious marital problem, ducked a couple of gunshots from an irate husband, triggered dual divorces and married “the other woman” in 1950. Old friends who saw him in later years were stunned by how far he had fallen. For a while, he was a baseball scout. Then, he was a tire salesman. He died in ’68. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America long ago decided Tommy Bridges doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame, despite his record of 194-138, his 1,674 strikeouts and career ERA of 3.57, considerably better than average for his era. Even though he lost his Boy Scout badges, Bridges belongs. Thus ends today’s baseball discussion. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JUNE 27, 2011 • A-9

Touring KUB plant Ted Tyree, plant manager at the KUB Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant.

And eating at The Lunchbox By Madeline Lonas Have you ever wondered after you take a shower, flush the toilet, brush your teeth, wash your hands, do the dishes and even wash your clothes where the water goes after it circles down the drain? We know it flows into pipes that lead to somewhere, but where do they go? Well, last week my fellow interns from the Shopper-News and I went to the KUB Kuwahee Wastewater Facility. The most amazing point was that such a huge facility can run with just 14 employees. The most noticeable thing was the smell. As I gagged, I also noticed and learned some things. Halls resident and 35-year veteran KUB operator Gary Cooper typically works a 12-hour shift, mostly in the control room monitoring the plant and even seeing other plants via remote cameras. The control room is the “heartbeat” of communication for the system that pumps and treats from 20 million gallons to 35 million gallons per day. KUB and other utilities are regulated by the state and must file monthly reports. Photo by Owen Sanders

First, there are many safety hazards at the plant, so they don’t like to have visitors so people don’t hurt themselves. Also, there are security concerns since 9/11. (Ted) Tyree also showed us step by step how they take wastewater and turn it into clear water. It was cool to see what kind of stuff they find in the water – from Sharpies to cellphones to even wedding rings. The only thing I still don’t understand is why the mallard ducks would be cooling off in the secondary treatment ponds when there is was a perfectly good river across the street. This was an awesome experience. Believe me, if you ever get the chance to go a wastewater facility, go. Even though it might gross you out, if you listen to what the people tell you, you can learn a lot. (With an assist from Tia Kalmon and S. Clark)

These jars show wastewater at different stages of treatment. Ted Tyree said water discharged into Fort Loudoun Lake is cleaner than water taken out of the lake upstream at the water treatment plant. Photo by Madeline Lonas “Most people here are technicians without a college degree,” he said. “Most have been here 20 to 30 years.” KUB jobs are high-pay for the market and have good retirement benefits. Tyree said he could run the plant with one employee “if nothing goes wrong.” He likened the operator to an airplane pilot who sits in front of a computer and makes sure things go right. – S. Clark ■

Recycling

“We’re in the recycling business,” said Ted Tyree. The bio-solids produced as solids settle out of wastewater are trucked to area farms for use as fertilizer. Tyree said farms must be OK’d and KUB looks for those 100 acres or larger and “not very steep.” “We usually never have a problem getting rid of it,” he said. Farmers don’t pay for the sludge and KUB doesn’t pay to dispose of it. – S. Clark ■

Smiles and laughs abound as interns watch other interns’ faces, eyes and noses get scrunched as the smell of the screens of sludge hits them. Here Max McCoig reacts.

Ted Tyree, directing a tour for Shopper interns, said, “Hold onto your (hard) hats!” He said surprising items turn up in wastewater: cellphones, wedding rings, driver’s licenses, even money. Once, an operator found half of a $50 bill. The next day he found the other half. An intern asked at what point a person will reach into the sludge to retrieve money. “Usually $20 and above,” said Tyree. Photo by S. Clark

The Courts

This veteran reporter let the interns down by opting not to make a scene at the Courthouse. That’s a first! We had made arrangements to sit in on Judge Patricia Long’s courtroom in General Sessions Court since she was hearing criminal felonies. A problem occurred when 14 interns walked in and took two benches. A bailiff came over and asked us to leave. Hey, it’s a public courtroom and we’re reporters! But, he said, a huge number of inmates are about to be brought in and there’s a security problem with so many kids and spectators present. How about traffic court, he suggested. So we trouped over to Judge Andy Jackson’s courtroom where an assistant DA was huddled with defen■ Jobs dants in a corner and the Ted Tyree, plant manager, judge was nowhere in sight. “Let’s just eat lunch,” said is a civil engineer who graduated from Memphis State I, and we marched two blocks (now the University of Mem- over to The Lunchbox. Ahhh, phis) with an emphasis on the dilemma of standing on water and wastewater treat- principle or sitting at a lunch ment. A second civil engineer counter. That chicken salad and a mechanical engineer was just great! also work at the plant. – S. Clark

Circuit Court Judges Wheeler Rosenbalm (left) and Dale Workman (right) pose with Don Sproles, a former attorney who now co-owns The Lunchbox with his wife, Karen. Celebrating their 30th anniversary in business, Don and Karen were featured in the June 20 edition of ShopperNews. “Why, we’re in the Shopper and now the Shopper is in here,” he said as the interns marched in. They saw more “action” at The Lunchbox than in two courtrooms as customers included former Commissioner Greg “Lumpy” Lambert and former Judge David Creekmore. Photo by Owen Sanders

Strange Kane wedding celebrates international roots By Betty Bean The Strange-Kane wedding began with bagpiper Kelly Shipe playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Highland Cathedralâ&#x20AC;? along a path lined with daylilies. The guests, some of whom had traveled thousands of miles, were seated in chairs arranged on the sunny lawn in front of a rustic gazebo, surrounded by a landscape as green as Ireland. The ring bearer, Finnegan Derensis, a tyke with ringlets, was solemn in a green tartan kilt. He was also probably hot, since he shed the kilt soon after the ceremony and stripped down to his diaper to dance in the summer heat. The groom, Ryan Kane â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a ginger-haired Irishman born in Scotland, reared in Belfast and recently emigrated to Tennessee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had mischief in his eyes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dead ringer for Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s royal scamp Prince Harry. The bride, Stella Strange â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a green-eyed Knoxville native who met her future husband on her first night in Belfast where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone for her semester abroad at the University of Pittsburgh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was a knockout in a ruched, strapless floor-length satin gown the color of whipped cream.

The bride and groom show their colors: Stella Strange Kane brandishes the Stars and Stripes while Ryan Kane waves the flag of Ireland. Photo submitted The daughter of singer Nancy Brennan Strange, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a touch of show biz encoded in her DNA. Stella has an undergraduate degree in theatre arts and political science and a Master of the Arts from Queens University, Belfast. Ryan was born in Edinburgh, reared in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and has a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in geographical studies from Queens University. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d known each other for more than six years before they tied

the knot at the Lily Barn in Townsend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryan was the first person Stella met. Swept her off her feet and here we are over six years later. Fate you sly devil, we never saw you coming,â&#x20AC;? was how their wedding Web page described their meeting. In August 2008, Stella and Ryan embarked on a ninemonth journey that took them through Europe, the USA and into Southeast Asia, Asia proper and Australia. They visited 15 countries, and it was during this trip that Ryan proposed. Unbeknownst to Stella, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been carrying a ring in his wallet waiting for the right moment. It came in Nha Trang, on the Vietnamese coast. Stellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old friend Jane Barr officiated, and her friend Kimberly Boulton was matron of honor. Kimberlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Richard Boulton, was best man and Jan Oosthiizen and Rachael Gammon gave brief, meaningful readings. Colette Boudreaux, a friend of Stellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s since their West High School days and a trained opera singer, sang Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make You Feel My Love.â&#x20AC;? Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends Alexander Bookless, Simon Crowe and Rory Sloan came over from the United Kingdom to serve as ushers. Among the guests were Candie, Guy and Evan Carawan, Jim Thompson and Peggy Mathews, Bob and Melynda Whetsel, Don Cassell, Kay Newton, Jamie Harris and David Massey, Bill Murrah and Betty Hennault and Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Lauren Kane, who lives in Belfast. When asked if the Ryan/Harry resemblance is noticed as much in Ireland as in Tennessee, Lauren grinned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one that started that,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that it goes deeper than just looks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both wild childs.â&#x20AC;?

Patricia Neal, we thank you By Valorie Fister The phone rang often during the last month. About 99 percent of the time the caller was my husband who, until late last week, had a full-time temporary address at one of Knoxvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-known medical centers. My hubby, Joey Fister, called often from the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center when I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there with him. He called to tell me he was able to walk up stairs with assistance. And he called to tell me how good he was feeling, which was something I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard him say in a while. For years, Joey suffered from back pain that started with a limp and ended in constant pain and nearly complete immobility. His legs were always in spasms, hurting and just plain not working. He

would go to work, where he was able to sit while he worked. Then he would return home, where he would, again, just sit. It was a miserable existence for a 41-year-old. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure exactly what name to call the quiet thief that slowly swindled his mobility. Age, regular wear and tear, and a neuropathy were all possible reasons for his deterioration. But after more than a year of medical testing, and then two spinal surgeries back-to-back in May, he entered the Patricia Neal rehabilitation facility to work on his walking. We are thankful for the help Joey received, first at Fort Sanders and then at Patricia Neal. His medical heroes were so numerous I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name them all. But they know who they are. And each one showed such compassion and concern

it was hard not to be touched by the genuine care. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the feeling of being the spouse of someone who is in a deteriorated physical state. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upsetting to watch your spouse hobble and sweat just walking up the stairs to get through the front door at night. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frightening not knowing if that will get better or worse. Unseen weights of enormous proportions lift from the necks and shoulders of patients and families upon entering the center. Opened in 1978, Patricia Neal is East Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellrespected leader in rehabilitating brain injury, spinal cord and stroke patients. The center staff regularly heals 1,000 patients per year. More than 30,000 people from all over the U.S. have been helped by Patricia Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked into the eyes of

incoming patients, caregivers and family members carrying heavy emotions including anger, sadness, uncertainty and exhaustion. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched expressions melt into relief and comprehension as patients begin their daily routine of physical, occupational and other forms of therapy to start moving and shaking again. There are some very special healers at Patricia Neal. They possess more than education and experience. They offer unconditional hope and love. And they grant acceptance. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we want to say to Patricia Neal, the larger-than-life actor who founded and supported this center long before her death last year. We also say this to those at her center who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;restoring abilities and rebuilding livesâ&#x20AC;? every single day. Patricia Neal, we thank you.

Car Wars Local used car values increase, new cars offer better MPG Valorie Fister With the topsy-turvy economy, consumer purchasing of new and used vehicles this season presents some new twists. Used car values and prices are steadily increasing while new car purchasing is aided by historically low interest rates and the arrival of fuel-efficient, 40 miles-pergallon small cars, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association. And at least one local used car dealer said business has been very good the last few years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially since Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hail storms damaged thousands of local vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of damaged cars,â&#x20AC;? said Wayne Akins, manager of Roadmaster Auto Sales on Clinton Highway. Akins said his customers are reporting up to $6,000 in car damages. He said his dealership is offering incentives to trade-in haildamaged vehicles for those that are clear of the tell-tale pock marks. Akins sells between 130 and 150 vehicles on the wholesale and retail markets monthly. He said he has

watched the used car market steadily increase each month over the last few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are guidelines and we check them every month,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are appreciating.â&#x20AC;? Trade-in values of compact cars like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Ford Focus are projected to rise this month more than 30 percent year-over-year according to Jonathan Banks, senior analyst at the NADA Used Car Guide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong consumer demand for small, used cars is driving up prices,â&#x20AC;? Banks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NADA Guide increase in trade-in values for June should come as no surprise because it reflects a shortage

The federal Cash for Akins said his dealership Clunkers program, which is still offering better prices took 645,000 used cars out of the market, and the crisis in Japan are credited with the strong demand in the used

than new car dealers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was online yesterday,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and a mid-sized luxury car is easily going for $40,000 plus. Most of ours are in the $8,000 to $18,000 range.â&#x20AC;? The new car market is also holding its own and showing profits, according to NADA, which represents nearly 16,000 new vehicle dealerships both domestically and internationally. Dealers recorded a 2.5 percent profit from January through April of this year, which represents a nearly 30 percent increase from the same time period last year, NADA reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite challenges such as higher gasoline prices and generally slow economic growth, dealers have managed to increase sales while keeping their expens-

es low,â&#x20AC;? NADA Chief Economist Paul Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As production ramps up in July and lenders increase their loan volume, we can expect to see continued growth in both sales and profits.â&#x20AC;? Karns small business owner Bronson Tolliver said low overhead is one of the keys to his car repair start-up success. He opened his repair shop in February 2010 with a $6,000 cash investment and low overhead. Today, he said he serves at least 50 customers in a five-mile radius. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw a dart at the board and here I am,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste and that makes a big difference. I can take the bad motor and make a good motor out of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come down to this: the people who are savvy with their money will survive.â&#x20AC;?

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JUNE 27, 2011 • A-15

Farm boy I remember when my family moved from our home in the suburbs to the farm where my parents live now. I was in middle school, and the whole world revolved around school and the mall. The move happened on a wing and a prayer, out to 40 acres in Union County, with just one room in the dry. My parents, my two sisters, our two dogs and I lived in that room for a year, with the rest of the log house slowly taking shape around us. Growing up, I hated the sweat and travail of the farm and building the house. I hated how far it was away from “everything,” how I could never have friends over. Don’t get me wrong, there were things I loved about living on the farm. Like heading out on a summer morning to ride my horse

moms101 bareback or crawling out on the porch roof at night to watch the stars. But, for me the chores and field work were always what you’d call “character building.” Sometimes I wondered why Mom and Dad bought the farm in the first place. It was always so much blamed work. My mother keeps Daniel while I work on Thursdays. Last week when I dropped him off at the farm, Mom, whom Daniel calls “Gran,” announced that they were going to pick some beans. She put some sunscreen and

a ball cap on my boy and away they went with a bushel basket swinging between them. Daniel was so excited. To him, something 13-year-old me would have called boring is an adventure, a game and a chance to be a good helper. Daniel loves chasing the barn cats, walking the fields and even cleaning up the horse stalls. I can already see that three years down the road he’s going to know that farm like the back of his hand and beg to spend time with Gran and Bear. When I came to pick him up, he crowed that he’d picked lots of big beans, and he was soaked head to foot from helping fill the water troughs. He was happier than a hog in slop. Now I know why Mom and Dad bought the farm, and I’m happy that they’ve kept it all these years, no matter what certain teenagers thought. Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@ ShopperNewsNow.com.

business Fireworks On the Fourth can be safe and fun There has been much talk in the news media recently about whether or not fireworks should be legalized.

Rob Webb Division General Manager of Rural/Metro

lifelines Currently, fireworks are illegal to buy, sell, use or store in Knox County. But legal or not, fireworks are always dangerous. They are unpredictable explosives subject to inconsistencies such as short fuses or overcharging. Every year our Rural/Metro team sees the devastating effects of the improper or unsafe use of fireworks in everything from burns to the arms and face, scarring, ear trauma, eye injuries and loss of limb to property damage and major fires. The consumption of alcohol increases the risk of injury. And there are always small children treated for burns on their feet from stepping on hot sparklers.

But fireworks are exciting – and a long-standing tradition for the Fourth of July. The good news is we have lots of professional pyrotechnic shows around town for the Fourth of July. That is the best and safest way for the whole family to enjoy fireworks. The Festival on the Fourth at World’s Fair Park, which includes the annual Pilot Independence Day Concert, offers a great fireworks display. The festivities start at 8 p.m. and parking is free. You can also find fun fireworks displays at other area festivals including Rockin’ the Docks in Lenoir City Park or the Fourth of July festival at the Tate and Lyle Performing Arts Center in Loudon. And we typically provide stand-by service for several area churches offering professional fireworks shows for the holiday weekend. Or you could combine the fireworks show in Gatlinburg with a family hike in the Smokies. There are plenty of options. We want everyone to have a safe and happy holiday. So plan a festival adventure this Fourth of July. Leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy the show.

Hear more bang

“The business is extremely competitive. Technology comes in three tiers. We only use the top tier; other products are not as consistent. We’re only going to use what we know works.” Weaver Hearing Aid Center has been in business for 12 years and is locally owned and operated. The Weaver family has been in business here since 1921. A summer question: “Gary, do you need to remove your hearing aid before going swimming?” “Yes, unless you want to talk to the dolphins!” Gary laughs. Actually, he sells waterproof hearing aids and even ones that translate English to German. “You’re kidding! Right?” “Yes, we don’t have that one yet, but we’re looking!”

With aid from Weaver Hearing Center Gary and Belinda Weaver report ecstatic customer response to their newest product line. The German-made Hansaton hearing aid is well-built and ranges from “very sophisticated to very basic,” said Gary, a licensed hearing instrument specialist. By Sandra Clark “You get twice the technology for half the price with Hansaton,” Gary said. So the Weavers have adopted a slogan for July: “Hear more bang for your buck.” Guess that fits in with the Fourth of July holiday as well! Everyone needs to hear fireworks, but not everyone needs the bells and whistles found on the most sophisticated hearing aids. So Gary Weaver first prepares

a patient profile. He asks whether the patient still works or is retired. He asks about hobbies and activities. He discovers how much time is devoted to telephone conversation and television. Once the profile and hearing exam are completed, Gary recommends the best, most affordable hearing aid for each patient. “Prices vary according to the technology and accoutrements. That’s why we continue to research

different equipment to find the best fit for each patient,” said Gary. He then fine-tunes the aid for each patient. “The more (of a particular brand) you use, the better you can fine-tune. That’s what we do best,” he said. Gary and Belinda function in a competitive business environment, challenged by practitioners who run big ads as “grabbers.” They might hook customers with a grabber and then try to upsell them during the appointment. “They don’t know you and you don’t know them,” said Gary. “We don’t have to sell ourselves so we can concentrate on what we need to do for each patient. We’re more consultative.

the buzz on the street Apartments are scarce downtown, so news that the Farragut Hotel, built in 1919 by Ben Morton, Hugh Sanford and Will Ross, is being restored to its original splendor is creating quite a buzz. The Farragut will be an upscale apartment building, says Arthur Seymour Jr. who represents building owners, Farragut Ventures LLC. A day care center – something downtown is lacking – will be a ground floor tenant along with a jewelry store and an expanded French Market. “There’s marble and brass everywhere. We’re going to take it back to the glory days,” Seymour said. A cereal bar? Bubble tea? A liquor-free Old City café? This does not compute. Here’s the deal: bubble tea, shakento-a-froth, fruitflavored or milk-based with “bubbles” of tapioca in the bottom is popular in any city with a China Town. That pretty much excludes Knoxville – except for the Knoxville Pearl on East Jackson Avenue, where owners Jamie and Joe Johnson offer bubble tea and a 100-variety cereal bar plus a big screen TV and board games, 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. “Saturday’s a big family time,” Jamie said. “Come on down, bring the kids. Have cereal, wear PJs and watch cartoons!”

Featured event The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s 27th annual Pilot Independence Day Concert will begin at 8 p.m. on the south lawn of the World’s Fair Park. Join Lucas Richman and the KSO under the stars for a live concert that will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display. Parking and admission are free. Info: www. knoxvillesymphony.com.

Downtown welcomes Union Ave. Books By Wendy Smith The lights were off and the door was locked at Union Avenue Books, but that didn’t keep customers from knocking and asking for a peek at the shelves. Since store owners Flossie McNabb and Melinda Meador are all about service, they smiled and let them in. The women were hoping for some down time before a series of grand opening events that culminated with a toe-tapping, standing-room-only party featuring bluegrass band Y’Uns on June 18. The doors officially opened June 1, but since special events are an integral part of the shop, it was appropriate that its official inauguration would include a book signing, a reception for local writers and a poetry reading.

McNabb’s is a familiar face as one of the former owners of Carpe Librum Booksellers in Bearden. She loved the store, and when it closed she wasn’t ready to give up the idea of selling books. She had the perfect location in mind. “Downtown wanted us,” she says. Union Avenue Books is in the recently renovated Daylight Building. Its location across the street from Pete’s Coffee Shop helped McNabb decide to take the leap. Meador, a banking litigation attorney, was a “very faithful” customer at Carpe Librum before McNabb asked her to partner in the venture. “I’m so excited to be part of a bookstore. My house looks like a bookstore, anyway.” She isn’t giving up her day job. Her primary responsibility is keeping track of the shop’s tight profit margins. While online bookstores and electronic books have gained popularity, Meador says there’s been a revival of interest in independent

booksellers. One of her tasks is to spend time reading local blogs, columnists and letters to the editor to see which books are being discussed. In the short time the store’s been open, she’s already seen that many customers are young, and they enjoy off-beat titles and used books. Both women think that selling both new and used books will draw a crowd. Shiela Wood-Navarre, another

former owner of Carpe Librum, is in charge of Union Avenue’s used book program. The store will purchase popular titles with Union Book Bucks, which can be spent on merchandise. The owners also plan to entice customers by selling local arts and crafts. There’s a real sense of community downtown, among businesses as well as residents, says Meador. McNabb is overwhelmed by the amount of customer traffic so far, especially on First Fridays and Saturdays, when the Farmers Market is open. Technology is having an impact on the business of selling books, but Meador thinks people will always want to be able to hold certain kinds of books in their hands, like cookbooks and collectible volumes, including the regional books that are so popular in Knoxville. For true book lovers, there’s an additional benefit to print versions. “You can’t sign a Kindle or an iPad,” says McNabb.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Lymphedema treatment at Fort Sanders Therapy Centers gets woman back on her feet

What is lymphedema? An estimated 6.8 million people in the United States have lymphedema or are at risk for developing it, according to the Lymphedema Network, a nonprofit organization devoted to educating people about this little-known condition. Lymphedema is a buildup of lymphatic fluid, typically in an arm or a leg, but it can also happen in the face or neck. The lymph system is part of the immune and circulatory systems. Lymph nodes act as small traps for diseasecausing bacteria or particles, and lymph fluid literally flushes pathogens out of cells. If the lymph nodes or vessels are damaged from injury, surgery, radiation cancer treatments or illnesses, fluid can build up in a portion of the body, causing uncomfortable swelling, skin fissures and, eventually, infection. Breast cancer is the No. 1 precursor to lymphedema in the United States, since many breast cancer surgeries disturb the lymph nodes under the arm. Some 42 percent of breast cancer patients develop lymphedema within five years of diagnosis of breast cancer. While there is no cure for lymphedema, it can be treated with light massage, compression wrappings and the wearing of a compression garment daily. For more information about lymphedema treatment, contact Fort Sanders Therapy Centers at (865) 541-1300.

Cris Busic is an active lady. She loves to hike in the mountains and ride with her husband on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least now I can go hiking again and riding,â&#x20AC;? says Busic, who just last year had such signiďŹ cant swelling in her left foot, she could hardly stand to hike or sit on a motorcycle at all. Her foot had swollen to twice its normal size. Busic had a little known, but fairly common, medical condition called lymphedema, an accumulation of lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid in the tissues. Lymph nodes produce disease-ďŹ ghting ďŹ&#x201A;uid that moves in and out of cells in the body. When one or more of the lymph nodes is damaged or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work properly, lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uid can build up in an arm or leg and cause severe swelling. In Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, a 2007 knee surgery was likely the ďŹ rst injury to her lymph nodes, she says, followed by a foot injury a year later. For more than a year, Busic ignored the swelling that became more and more frequent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a problem, uncomfortable and very unsightly,â&#x20AC;? admits Busic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t painful, just uncomfortable to walk on. I began to worry that there might actually be something serious going on.â&#x20AC;? Tests through her physician and a vein specialist didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal anything wrong with her blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow, but she was still unable to ďŹ nd a diagnosis.

toward the heel, to push the extra lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uid upward. They also taught McCullum how to do the 10 minute massages at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just pushing the ďŹ&#x201A;uids back up your legs, basically,â&#x20AC;? Busic explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can feel it start tingling down in my foot, and you know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My care at Fort Sanders was excellent. Not only do they know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, they treat you just like family.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cris Busic, Fort Sanders patient

Cris Busic is able to enjoy hiking in the mountains again thanks to Lymphedema treatment at Fort Sanders Therapy Centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was,â&#x20AC;? says Busic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea what was wrong with me until I went to see physical therapist Erin McCullum at Fort Sanders, and she knew exactly what was wrong.â&#x20AC;?

McCullum is a certiďŹ ed lymphedema therapist at Fort Sanders Therapy Center downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She explained that my lymph system had been damaged because of the two

incidents to my left leg,â&#x20AC;? says Busic. In three weekly sessions, McCullum and fellow lymphedema therapist Beth Heatherly gently massaged Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot, from the toe

Therapists wrapped Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot in special compression bandages to further squeeze the ďŹ&#x201A;uid upward. Finally, they ďŹ tted Busic with a compression stocking, tightly ďŹ tted from toe to thigh. Now she wears the stockings regularly especially on motorcycle trips and while hiking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(My foot) does not swell. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had no problems at all. Erinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a miracle worker,â&#x20AC;? says Busic, who recommends Fort Sanders Therapy Center to anyone who needs lymphedema or physical therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My care at Fort Sanders was excellent,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only do they know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, they treat you just like family.â&#x20AC;?

Lymphedema relief available at Fort Sanders Therapy Centers Swelling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normal. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Fort Sanders Therapy Center certiďŹ ed lymphedema specialist and physical therapist Erin McCullum wants you to know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lymphedema is one of the newer diagnoses in the medical world, in the last 20 years or so,â&#x20AC;? says McCullum. Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid in the tissues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people who have swelling in their leg or foot are told by their doctors that nothing can be done or they prescribe compression stockings, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them the appropriate size. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the right size, the stockings may not work for them,â&#x20AC;? she explains. Fort Sanders Therapy Center lymphedema therapist Erin Treatment for lymphoma McCullum shows how to place a compression wrap on a involves massage, comprespatientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leg. sion wrapping and compres-

sion garments, and may take several weeks or several months of physical therapy several times each week to see results. Then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifetime of maintenance moves to prevent the swelling from returning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients learn to do those things at home, and they can manage quite well on their own,â&#x20AC;? says McCullum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drinking water is helpful,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eating salty foods is not so helpful, because eating salt makes the body retain water. Exercise is always good. Your lymphatic vessels rely on your muscles to pump that ďŹ&#x201A;uid up toward the kidneys. The more you use your calf muscles, the more that keeps the lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid from accumulating.â&#x20AC;? Standing for long periods of time can make lymphede-

ma worse, as does sitting in one position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do is not a cure,â&#x20AC;? McCullum says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I help people manage their lymphedema on their own so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to see me forever.â&#x20AC;? Many people have lymphedema and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know it, explains McCullum. Mild swelling can last for years before it ďŹ&#x201A;ares up into something very uncomfortable. Waiting too long for treatment makes it more difďŹ cult to treat. McCullum wants people to know that lymphedema swelling can be managed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is help available,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just have to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;live with it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?
