IN THIS ISSUE The ‘Wright’ stuff Jake Mabe sits down for a chat with longtime Knox County Schools educator Dr. Donna Wright, who has accepted a position with the Williamson (Tenn.) County Schools. Wright ignores her accomplishments and instead pays homage to the mentors who helped and inspired her during a 30-year career with the school system. That list includes a “who’s who” of legendary characters, including Earl Hoffmeister, Roy Mullins, Shirley Underwood and the late Sarah Simpson.

The Tennessee Valley Ensemble treated listeners to a concert in Fountain City Park last Tuesday evening. “A great group of people, we all have a fun time together and they make it a fun experience,” said band director Sandy Wells. This talented musical group is comprised of around 25 people, from high school students to senior adults. The Tennessee Valley Ensemble provides free performances for nursing homes, senior centers or church events. Jean Box, the oldest member of the band, plays the flute and piccolo for the band, but she also transformed her walking cane into a flute that can play three notes. “There is something magic about the people who want to play together here,” Box said. They practice on Tuesday evenings at Peace Lutheran Church and perform on scheduled days for an audience throughout the month. Their next concert will be 9 a.m. Saturday, July 14, at the Oak Ridge Farmers Market. Anyone is welcome to join. There are no tryouts or auditions to make the band. If you think you have what it takes, give it a try.

Call it a homecoming. When J.D. Overton was named interim head football coach at Halls High School on June 12, he wasn’t stepping into unfamiliar territory. Overton grew up here. He lives here. He attended Halls Middle School before going to Gibbs High. “I’m very excited to be here,” Overton said last week. “It’s a great opportunity, something I’ve wanted to do since I started coaching. I’m looking forward to being back in Halls.” Overton replaces Kevin Julian, who resigned last month. After graduating from Gibbs in 2001, Overton played football at Emory and Henry, graduating in 2005. He accepted a coaching position at Carter High and served as coach Heath Woods’ offensive coordinator for six seasons. Overton says his offensive scheme at Carter evolved to fit the strength of his players. It is a philosophy he will bring to Halls, adding he will use a variety of formations. “We’re going to put our kids in the position to be successful. That’s our No. 1 goal. The offense we will run will be a little bit different than what (Halls) has run in the past. The offense needs to do what the kids can do. “On defense, we’ll have the same philosophy. We’ll be evaluating the things the kids can do and go in that direction.” Overton inherits a team that has more than 20 rising seniors. “It’s their team and they will be very important in turning this thing

We’ve got a lot of good players coming back, especially up front.” Overton’s coaching staff is evolving, too. It has not been finalized, but Overton said that Zach Beasley, who has coached at William Blount, Bearden and Oak Ridge, will be the defensive coordinator. “The guys who are here want to be here and are very dedicated and invested in our program. We’ll have a few new guys, but we have a good, core group of coaches.” Overton says his football influ-

ences include his high school coach, Randy Carroll (“He’s one reason why I do what I do.”), as well as his coaches at Emory and Henry, and Woods. “I really enjoyed my time at Carter and I learned a lot. That was a great place to be.” Overton and his wife, Jodie, a guidance counselor at Halls High, have a 19-month-old son, John Gardner. He says that weight lifting and fall practice will begin July 9 after the TSSAA-required “dead period” ends.

It also sponsors communitywide workshops on topics of interest and provides specially-trained facilitators to assist community groups in reaching their optimum performing level. Leadership Knoxville facilitators have worked with more than 400 entities, including nonprofit boards, civic committees and commissions, governmental bodies, religious groups and administrative staffs in the greater Knoxville area.

How to succeed in publishing Well, after a few bumps in the road, Col. Calvin G. “Jerry” Lyons has found success in that crazy world that is the book publishing industry.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS You might remember my August 2010 story. Lyons, a retired Army colonel, had self-published a book, “If These Stones Could Talk.” He was moved to write the book after visiting the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. It contains more than 35 vignettes about World War II veterans, most of whom are buried in overseas cemeteries in eight foreign countries and Hawaii or are listed as Missing in Action or Buried at Sea. Since our first visit, Col. Lyons has made presentations about the overseas cemeteries maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commissions to civic organizations, book clubs, libraries, two national conventions and even onboard a riverboat cruise down the Rhine River in Germany. He also was interviewed by WBIR-TV news anchor John Becker for Becker’s “Service and

Sacrifice” series. Two Army museums agreed to stock his book and it is for sale on Amazon.com. Remember I mentioned something about bumps in the road? Well, here’s the bad news: He sold 20 books to Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington two weeks before it filed for bankruptcy (before Lyons was paid). He had also sold books to Borders bookstore, which also filed for bankruptcy. Lyons has received a settlement from Joseph Beth, but the Borders situation is still tied up in litigation. Here’s the good news: Col. Lyons has now sold enough books to cover the direct publication costs of editing, jacket design, photo enhancement and printing. Here’s more good news: You can buy it locally at Union Avenue Books. During his research, Col. Lyons exchanged correspondence with more than 25 families. He re-

mains in contact with most of them. “The son of one of them has bought 39 copies of the book for family members and business associates,” he says. “He told (me) that he placed Lyons the book in a place of honor next to his father’s framed Purple Heart.” The 238-page hardback book contains more than 100 photos and a multicolored dust jacket. Lyons says he insisted on having it printed in the United States, even though it required a higher cost than if it had been published overseas. Lyons is available for presentations about overseas cemeteries. Further info can be found at www. i f t he s e s tone s c ou ldt a l k . com or by calling Col. Jerry Lyons at 304-0552. ■

Another picture showed Tyree and his wife, Mary Pat, having a friendly conversation with the glamorous Imelda Marcos, here to preside over the opening of the Philippine Pavilion. “The rumor was she had 3,000 pairs of shoes. Mary Pat and I asked her about that and she denied that she had 3,000 – she owned up to having 1,060.” On the 30th anniversary of the event, he says the benefits of the bipartisan effort are plain to see: “We cleared that hobo jungle (now the World’s Fair Park). We brought about the demise of Malfunction Junction. We had one downtown hotel and wound up with four new ones. We got more than $300 million in interstate improvements that would normally have taken years. We rehabbed the Candy Factory and on opening day, we had 97,000 people – 365,000 for opening week. The city retired its debt seven years ago and realized a (wonderful) return on its investment.”

A letter to the editor in Friday’s News Sentinel calls the “Halls Shopper” a part of the media elite. You know it’s true because: A. Jake Mabe always writes about Elvis or Nixon. B. Carol Springer has a passport – and has used it. C. Sandra Clark listens to NPR weekly (“A Prairie Home Companion”). D. Shannon Carey drinks iced chai latte (when she can afford the 5 bucks). The News Sentinel published checks and information that only Allison or Tim Burchett could have accessed, attributing them to an anonymous source. Who was it? A. Tim, because things had slowed down after the budget vote and he needed more excitement. B. Allison, because she thinks she’ll get a bigger divorce settlement if Tim is thrown out of office. C. R.

Gloria Ray, former Tourism and Sports Corp head, has sold her home near the Holston Hills golf course and moved to the gulf coast of Florida. Margaret Cox, who shared the house with Ray, resigned from Sports Corp on June 22 and her position has been dissolved, according to interim KTSC head Kim Bumpas.

there’d been such bipartisan cooperation (during the runup to the fair, which spanned three presidential administrations – those of Ford, Carter and Reagan).” Tyree was wearing a “Scruffy Little City” lapel button and said he will always be grateful for the insult – delivered by a Wall Street Journal reporter – that galvanized the town. “In the dog days of the planning, we had all these questions – ‘Are you really going to be able to get the money?’ ‘Are you REALLY going to be able to succeed?’ “Cas Walker said it wasn’t gonna work.

Donna Wright heads west By Jake Mabe She has The “Wright” Stuff. And she will be missed. Knox County Schools assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction Dr. Donna Wright has accepted a position with Williamson (Tenn.) C o u n t y Schools as assistant superintendent of middle and high schools. She Donna Wright begins work July 16. She is apprehensive. Knox County Schools has been her home for 30 years. She calls it a life-changing moment, says she isn’t selling her home here and will be back on weekends, but is excited about moving to the highest-performing school district in the state. “They’re not satisfied.

They’re hungry. That’s intriguing.” Wright will take her infectious enthusiasm along. Spend 20 minutes with her and you’re ready to bust a brick wall. And she will carry with her, too, lessons learned from mentors. She didn’t want to talk about herself. She wanted to talk about them. The late Vicki Dunaway, a friend since childhood, who asked her to substitute teach at Powell High after Wright’s youngest child was born. She liked teenagers, had a captive audience and could wax poetic about her passion for history. “I was hooked.” Shirley Underwood, the greatest influence of Wright’s professional life, the voice that sits on her shoulder to this day, the person who “knew what I needed to do long before I did.” The late Jerry Sharp,

Gibbs High principal and her favorite curmudgeon, who took a risk on a young teacher. “If they’d kept me (at Gibbs), I’d still be there. It was Camelot.” Allen Morgan, Powell High principal, who pushed her into areas she didn’t think she could fit. “I had no aspirations to be an administrator. That was my biggest growth period.” Earl Hoffmeister, the former superintendent, who convinced West High principal Jim McClain that Wright would be McClain’s assistant, even if it meant she had to drop out of a 30-foot tree during a Ropes Course. The late Jim Pryor, with whom she played good cop/bad cop at West High. “I called him my work husband. When I became principal, I worried how he would respond. He said, ‘We worked together before, we’ll work together now.’”

Bud Fields collection? No comment It was a simple question: Is the Bud Fields scrapbook collection on display and is it available for research? The University of Tennessee sports information department did not respond to the e-mail or phone message. No comment. It could be the department is very busy. After all, this is July. Or maybe the question was too simple and mistaken for a tease. It could be those who make major decisions don’t think the Shopper is worth the bother. Our circulation is just 93,880. (Wow, that’s pretty good – and the website lights up like a pinball machine.) There is another possi-

Marvin West

bility: sports information people are still looking for the big books. I do hope they are not lost. They are treasures of historical significance. There’s that magic word again, history. Tennessee has some, much of it at a higher level than whatever it is we have now. The Bud Fields collection, 11 books big enough to

display wallpaper samples, includes photographs of all who played football at Tennessee. There is other valuable information, even old newspaper clippings. Big games. Good stuff. OK, I have a vested interest. I wrote a few stories. Gathering and preserving was a dogged labor of love for Bud. It goes back to 1941. There were two launch pads. He attended his first UT game. He found, in his great aunt’s basement, an old box of very old newspaper clippings. Saving history, day by day, bit by bit. Brilliant! Bud clipped Volunteer stories and pictures from the News Sentinel and Journal

Wright helped stop what she calls the “blight flight” from West High to Webb School that began in the 1970s. West became one of the top-performing schools in the district. She takes little credit, saying “I’m a shared leadership kind of gal and we made decisions together (as a faculty). Perception changes reality.” Wright says the school exploited its rich history of graduates and created professional learning communities before anyone had coined the term. Oh, and at the time she was one of only 12 female high school principals in the state. Dr. J.W. “Bill” Phifer, the gentle giant, former director of high schools, who groomed her for her first central office job. (“We used to argue over split infinitives.”) Roy Mullins, “a gentle soul, a deep thinker wrapped in a compassionate heart,” who taught her to use common sense, but to always err on the side of the student. The late Sarah Simpson, “a formidable woman,”

who taught her to never ask anybody to do anything you yourself wouldn’t do. Wright met Mrs. Simpson, and it was always “Mrs. Simpson,” at Powell High, when she helped get classrooms set up in the then-new building. Asked about it years later, Mrs. Simpson didn’t even remember it. “That’s because she just did the work. She was brilliant. She taught me to always do my homework and said, ‘Don’t open your mouth until you know what you’re talking about.’” She taught Wright something else, too. “Honey, don’t ever believe your own press.” Wright says Simpson’s presence still lingers. “I said going in that I would never replace her. Nobody could. I hope I’ve made her proud.” She will miss the people with whom she’s worked, particularly the up-andcomers. “This district’s in good hands. That’s the whole idea. Make sure you have good

people in the pipeline and set them up for success. I hope I’ve done that. Somebody always did it for me. People don’t always realize their own potential. I didn’t.” She isn’t leaving on a bad note, says Knox County Schools will always be her home and that superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre doesn’t want her to go. She’s had opportunities to leave since she applied for the superintendent’s job in 2008. She’s been a finalist for a few positions elsewhere and turned several others down flat. But she will be closer to her two adult children and to her best friend, Lana Seivers, dean of education at MTSU. She likes the challenge waiting in Williamson County. “I’ve always been a ‘what if” kind of gal. I feel good about it. That’s how you make it work. If you don’t have joy in your work you need to find something else. I have joy.” She also has The Wright Stuff. And she will be missed.

and pasted them onto his bedroom walls – until he ran out of walls. He filled a cardboard box. And another. Bud got smart. He went to the source. He gathered photos from Saturday night waste baskets at the newspapers. “Sometimes you guys would tell me to scram.” Bud did not clip and collect full time. He became a very good student at Knox High and an excellent volleyball player at the YMCA, good enough to get college scholarship offers. He chose to attend UT. He started a volleyball team. He coached volleyball. (He is in volleyball and other halls of fame. He is an honorary UT letterman). When Bud went into the Air Force, his mother want-

ed to throw out the collection. He saved it – under his bed. He asked relatives and friends to help maintain his project while he was away. After that, he got serious. He begged and bought 8x10 pictures from the legendary Thompson studio. He got a few from the old, old Knafel studio. People gave him football pictures of fathers and grandfathers. He had some copied from early UT annuals. When the Journal went away, Bud got what would have been football discards from the library. He paid the UT photo lab for hundreds of pictures. He worked an exchange program with the Harris and Ford version of UT sports information. He gave up some game program covers and received

some spare photos. Somewhere along the way, he started snapping his own. He got improved access when John Majors was coach. The collection cost a small fortune and represents dedication and determination that lasted most of a lifetime. Just before age 80, Bud was finally ready to let go. Of course private collectors wanted the books. A former Tennessee football player, a Vol for life before that term became popular, paid $10,000 to keep it in the family. The Bud Fields collection was quietly donated to the University of Tennessee. It is probably somewhere in the sports information department. Sorry I can’t be more specific.

A-6 • JULY 2, 2012 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS

For birds, water is a serious matter NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Over the past few weeks we’ve had weather approaching tropical conditions: daily highs in the 90s, intense sun, no rain for days. The heat out in the direct sun is oppressive, even dangerous. The robot announcer on the NOAA Weather Radio from Morristown warns us of the dangers of the very high heat indices, especially to the very young and the elderly, reminding us to get plenty of rest, stay in the shade and drink lots of nonalcoholic beverages. But what if you’re a songbird, a daytime creature that has to get lots of exercise, often in the sun, just to get your daily requirement of food? And what if, instead of a nice steady internal body temperature of 98.6 degrees, you normally run along at a temp varying from 104 to 108 degrees? If you’re a bird, then, having a place to find some daily water becomes a serious matter. In fact, at this time of the year providing water for the birds is much more important than providing food. And yet, it is a task that is often forgotten, or written off as not all that necessary. A recent survey of Cornell FeederWatch participants, a zealous group of bird feeders who average seven bird feeders per yard, discovered that only a small percentage of them specifically provided a regular source of water in their yards for their feathered friends.

With nearly 10,000 species of birds in the world, you might expect a wide variation in needs of various birds for water and that is indeed the case. Many species of birds that live in desert or near-desert conditions have developed complex adaptations to extract water from their food sources, especially insect-eating birds. Dried seeds may contain only 10 percent water, but insects are juicy. Ants, for example, are 65 percent water. Some desert birds are so well-adapted that they never have to drink a drop of free water. At the other end of the spectrum, sea birds live their whole lives surrounded by water. But it’s sea water, a 3 percent solution of salt that would prove fatal to a shipwrecked human being. But such birds as the gulls and the albatrosses, many of whom drink only sea water, have developed a set of salt glands located in their skull above their eyes, which quickly and efficiently remove the excess salt from their bloodstream. Most of our familiar southeastern songbirds have not developed such chemistry, presumably because water is normally available to them somewhere. Streams, water holes, dew, raindrops supply their needs in ordinary times. These sources become fewer and farther between when daytime temps soar into the 90s and it doesn’t rain for days and days.

0 r 5 Ove s of d kin gram 500 kes ca

And water isn’t important to the birds just for drinking. Just watch a bird having a good thorough bath in a puddle or a birdbath. They get in there, fluff up all their feathers and have water flying everywhere! They are washing off their feathers, which get dusty, infested with mites, and affected by wear and tear. It goes without saying that keeping their feathers in top condition is a critical part of every bird’s daily routine. So what is a conscientious bird-provider to do? If there is a problem, it is that of having too many choices. A person can provide

water for the birds with anything from a lawn sprinkler, a shallow kitchen pan on the ground, a classic birdbath on a pedestal in the garden, on up to an elaborate water garden with fountain, spray or waterfall, complete with water plants and landscaping. Local garden and hardware stores, bird specialty stores and online sources are loaded with a variety of gear and devices to water the birds, and there are books galore on the subject. One author I read recently writes what many of us have observed: “Moving water is a bird magnet.” Just put out a simple spraytype yard sprinkler on one of these hot afternoons and you’ll see what I mean. Robins, towhees, cardinals, titmice and chickadees appear as if from nowhere and flock in like the little kids at the Powell splash pad, and seem to enjoy it just as much.

An inexpensive and effective way to bring the birds in is with some sort of a dripping setup. It doesn’t take much. Just a slow drip into a pan or a birdbath will do the trick. Try hanging a plastic milk jug full of water over your still water pool with a tiny hole punched in the bottom of the jug. A word of caution: I made my first couple of attempts with holes too big. And you can’t make the holes get smaller. “Tiny” is the key word here. There are a variety of commercial models of drippers that attach to the edge of your birdbath. They run off your garden hose and so need a lot less attention than water jugs. You can also set up devices that spray or mist. Some recycle the water so that little goes to waste. You can never tell who will show up in your yard for a chance at some cool water. Last week, Spouse

and I were out at my partner Ed and his wife’s place, admiring their lovely water element. It has a waterfall, a little rocky stream and a pool surrounded by lush vegetation, looking as if it were plucked from some cool, shady cove in the Smokies. And Lo! There was a beautiful tropicalblue Indigo Bunting, standing on the rocks in the stream, splashing away for all to see. His plain, dark brown mate stood on the bank, watching him splash; she was apparently too modest to bathe in public. How exciting to be that close to a small, showy bird that you usually expect to see in your binoculars, singing in a distant treetop! So, offer some water to your neighborhood birds. They really do need it, especially through the hot summer months, and you’ll be rewarded with a surprising number of neat feathered visitors.

How to be unforgettable As [Jesus] walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea – for they were fi shermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fi sh for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. (Matthew 4: 18-20 NRSV) I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)

I remember the first time I met him. I was a newlyminted young professional, just out of college, and he was director of an on-campus student service.

Teaching life change, one child at a time By Cindy Taylor Dayspring Baptist Christian Academy is entering its fourth year, but the labor of love to develop this inner city school began decades ago. Academy founders Ron and Martha Burress had only met a few times before they both lost their spouses. Through their churches and missions they were reacquainted, married and found they had many of the same goals. “God brought us together at just the right time,” said Martha. “It has taken a lot of prayer to get where we are now. Children today need structure and we teach them responsibility.” “I was born and raised here but moved to Florida to live until around 13 years ago,” said Ron. “God put on our hearts that this school was needed right here. When we came here all we had was this street corner, and I had that borrowed.” The couple has worked steadily to purchase surrounding land for the school as it became available and now owns more than an entire block.

tist Church sits on one corner with the school at the opposite end. The couple plans to continue the expansion into the future to create a full campus. The school is licensed and certified for grades 1-12 through the ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) and registered through the Knox County school system. Current capacity of DBCA allows for 50 students but with expansion the school could accommodate up to 144. Students are taught the same subjects as in public school and are tested along the same lines. The main difference is that students are given time to pray with the instructors and receive oneon-one encouragement in their life goals. “We are teaching children integrity, pride and respect,” said Ron. “Having respect for yourself is where it starts.” The Burresses say the

see how special the gifted one is (charisma is from the Greek for gift), when what was actually happening was that this person was making me feel charming. Jesus walks right up to the edge of the water of the Sea of Galilee, and with no preamble whatsoever says, “Follow me,” to Peter and Andrew. And these two brothers beach their boat, throw their nets aside and scramble out of the boat to become disciples of an itinerant preacher. He must have made them feel as if they were the very people he was hoping to see that day. My day to day work involves talking to people who are in need of help of some kind. Sometimes we are able to offer the help they need; sometimes not. Sometimes we say the right thing; sometimes we don’t get it right. Sometimes we hear the deeper cry; sometimes we miss it. But most often, or so it feels to me, if we can listen carefully and attentively, and really try to understand the need, even if we can’t meet it, we can make a connection. And people will leave feeling – no, knowing – that they matter. Of course, there is a sad downside to Maya Angelou’s truism. Make someone feel judged or misunderstood or shamed, and they will never forget that either. The lesson is this: Be aware of your power!

Water, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important commodity By Caroline Longmire Last week the Shopper interns took a tour of the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. Our tour guides, Todd Dykes and Clint Stowers, took us through both of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants where we saw the old and new water treatment systems. After the tour, we ate lunch and heard from Roy Arthur and Nick Jackson. Arthur, the coordinator of Beaver Creek Watershed, and Jackson, the manager of Operations and Plants for HPUD, are both passionate about their jobs, which made

their speeches intriguing. Arthur spoke about how the Beaver Creek Water she d is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a living experimentâ&#x20AC;? to show the relation of clean water to the number of bugs in the Jackson area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water is the most important commodity in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Arthur. Watersheds are like a huge bathtub where all water drains to the lowest point.

Jackson discussed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;latest and greatest technologyâ&#x20AC;? at Hallsdale Powell. That new technology will be helping to get Beaver Creek off the Impaired Creek list and turning it into a clean and healthy creek. The criteria are â&#x20AC;&#x153;swimabilityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;fishability,â&#x20AC;? Arthur said. Few, if any, creeks come off the impaired list. Hallsdale Powell is doing a fantastic job in keeping citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; water clean, having no violations in more than five years. The interns were given a â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrating five yearsâ&#x20AC;? T-shirt and water bottle.

Behind the water pipes at HPUD By Sarah Dixon Is the expensive utility bill worth it? What actually happens in those pipes? Hallsdale Powell definitely has a story to be told. Hallsdale Powell Utility District was built at a low point, topographically speaking, in 1954. It provides public water and public sewage services for parts of North Knox County, Anderson County and Union County. However, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build a big enough facility for the ever-growing area. With its newly added plant, the entire team at HPUD has a goal to improve the water for us each and every day.

Todd Dykes, the Laboratory and Process Control System supervisor, says with a smile that HPUD turns bad water into good, clean water, meeting comprehensive regulations with hard work every day. Microbiologists are constantly testing to make sure the water is pure. Violations must be reported to the state. Even right now, HPUD has a project with the University of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barry Bruce to find the right kind of algae to improve the cleanliness of the water and provide lower prices for the customers. Nick Jackson, an engineer, said HPUD

is working with UT to develop a bio-mass suitable to operate vehicles (as a substitute for gasoline). The process of cleaning the water is complex. Employees at HPUD test the water for solids, ammonia, pH, BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), E. coli, chlorine and oxygen levels. They test the water at the beginning and the end, assuring that the water is as clean from impurities as possible. HPUD definitely has a good system of fantastic employees and a smart goal to keep improving and experimenting to give the best services possible.

UT engineering building features latest in technology By Madeline Lonas This week the interns visited the Min H. Kao Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building at UT. While most of us think sports when we think of UT, which came first – the science or the game of basketball? Just as there is science behind that flat screen you’re watching and the remote control running it, there is science behind the throwing, dunking, bouncing or shooting of a basketball game. Without science there would be no sports. Pat Summitt understood that momentum equals mass times velocity (P=MV), and that is how she taught her team how to dunk a basketball. Jenny Woodbery, a communications specialist and our tour guide, led us through the new building that houses the EECS. She showed us the building’s cool features. The walls are painted with stripes of either green, blue or a salmon

color – green meaning elevators, blue meaning bathrooms and salmon meaning offices. With the color coding, individuals can find their way around the building easier. The classrooms have motion-activated lights and glass boards which are said to be even better than white boards. As a student who will be attending the L&N STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Academy this fall, touring this building at UT was a real treat. Engineering is a big focus with teens. It not only sounds fun, but a career in engineering is one of the most promising when it comes to potential for high earnings, projected job growth and job security. The starting salaries for engineers are some of the highest of all college graduates, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, while those who choose other professions must work for many years to attain their desired income level. Even

though males show more interest in engineering, we saw a lot more women at the college than expected. Engineering requires discipline, skill and knowledge in order to design and build structures, buildings, devices, machines and systems. And most importantly, you have to be creative and have an imagination. Most engineers have an artistic talent, and that helps with the designing.

Visiting the EECS opened my eyes to more options for when I graduate, and gave me a wider choice of possibilities and information that I will share with my friends who hope to become engineers when they grow up. The next time you’re sitting at the ThompsonBoling Arena or at home watching a UT basketball game, remember that there is science behind the heart Knoxville has a “big town” look from the sixth floor balcony of of an athlete. UT’s newest academic building. “This (balcony) was built for parties,” joked Jenny Woodbery, communications specialist who led Shopper interns on a tour of the building. Photo by Melinda Taylor

‘Wow’ factor for UT’s newest building By Melinda Taylor On March 14, the grand opening of the University of Tennessee’s new Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer A plaque inside the new engineering building at the University Science allowed a glimpse of Tennessee honors Min Kao, major donor to the project. into the long-awaited home Kao attended UT more than 40 years ago before co-founding for the largest academic Garmin International in 1989.

Kao, originally from Taiwan, earned both a master’s degree and Ph.D. from UT and is co-founder and CEO of Garmin International Inc., a GPS technology company.

Each program gives degrees at On display inside the University of Tennessee’s new engineering the bachelor’s, master’s building is a drum from the first computer used at the school. and doctoral levels.

UT orange is going green with the eco-friendly touches the building has to offer. Designers used natural lighting as much as possible, making this one of the greenest buildings on campus. When visitors enter the building, they see smooth marble floors and colorcoded walls to help them find their way. The helpful and knowledgeable staff assists with any questions. Classrooms serve from 50 to 150 students, and each has tiered seating with electrical hookups at each desk. Min and Fan Kao’s gift was the largest in the history of UT, with $12.5 million dedicated to construction and a $5 million endowment for Kao Scholars and a professorship. The state matched the Kao gift two to one, adding $25 million to the project.

Students travel as ambassadors By Sara Barrett This year, several students from Kentucky and Tennessee will spend part of their summer traveling through Europe as ambassadors for People to People, an organization founded by President Eisenhower more than 50 years ago. Delegation H06280 will experience “The Traditions of Europe” for 19 days, visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Wales and Ireland. During the trip, the ambassadors will take part in community service projects and will visit locations of lifechanging – and often times world-changing – historical events. The group will join forces with a delegation from the

Tri-Cities area, bringing the ambassador head count to 34. Halls High School teacher and P2P leader Mike Blankenship will accompany the delegates, along with two other leaders from the Tri-Cities, as they move from one experience to another. Acceptance into the P2P student ambassador program is selective, and delegates must go through an extensive interview process after being nominated by a teacher and submitting letters of recommendation. By participating in P2P, students can earn academic credit while learning about the history, culture and people of the places they will visit. Info: www.peopletopeople.com.

TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters

met Joe Neely several years ago through the Lions, but I did not know until recently what a talented person on he onated is. He had donated a substantial gavel to the Union County ounty nd as Lions Club, and soon as I saw it, I knew I needed one of those. I finally got out ck to Joe’s to pick up my gavel. What a treat to tour his shop and yard. Birdhouses weree everywhere of all kinds, tyles. sizes and styles. artin A Purple Martin Complex made of a tall four-by-fourr of treated lumber and about seven “tree branches” also made of four-by-fours was an eye-catcher. Atop each limb was a birdhouse. Wisteria was trailing up the wood so it looked like a real tree. Then at Joe’s workshop he had ouse made a birdhouse umiout of an old alumionted num kettle fronted eathwith a piece of weathered barn board.. There were bluebird houses, birdhouses portraying the old cantilevered barns and birdhouses made of shiny pieces of leftover flooring. Joe recycled before the word was popularized. My gavel is made of a piece of

bedstead leg, and I’m guessing, but I think the handle is made of a chair rung.

Birdhouse by Joe Neely

Joe has made wonderful benches out of bed frames – a twin frame would seat two people and a double bed frame could seat three people. It’s hard to describe his ingenuity, but the seat also

serves as a blanket chest. There are ducks, recipe boxes, picture frames, potting stands and desks – just name it and Joe probably has h it in his shop. All, of course, made from leftover pieces of wood, w with a few of Joe’s special touches touch such as a horseshoe hors for good luck or a draw drawer pull on a birdhouse for a bird perch. T h e d desk that m eye was caught my made of a dining di table leaf with eno enough cut off to make the frame and the drawer. I’m I’ not sure how Joe came cam by the desk legs. Joe was a metal worker by tr trade, but I can tell he re really enjoys re-inventing himself in retirement a as a woodworker. Joe brings his wares to various va festivals and L Lions Club fundraisers, and does some custom work as people ask him to. At the moment he is restoring a family heirloom heirlo secretary for his wife. Joe serves as a Guiding Lion for the Union County Lions Club, which meets at noon each third Monday at Hardee’s in Maynardville. Come meet Joe and learn about Lionism and his art objects.

Jean Hepler displays some of her blankets that she has crocheted for those in need. Photo by Tia Kalmon

Working for Jesus, gifts of love By Tia Kalmon Jean Hepler began with an idea to provide love to those who may not always feel loved. The idea spreads throughout the intricate patterns of her blankets and into the lives of others in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the people I try to work with, to let them know somebody hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten them,â&#x20AC;? Hepler said. Working for Jesus, Gifts of Love is a charity that Hepler started in 1999. She crochets small 30- to 40-inch blankets for individuals in nursing homes and hospitals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get a lot of joy out of it, when you see an elderly person, especially someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any family, and you go in and you give them something like that, they are so thrilled.â&#x20AC;? Because of the many different colors of yarn Hepler receives, she primarily works with granny squares, stitching them together to make a blanket. She has decided to give away 220 blankets at Christmas to Brakebill Nursing Home, one for each and every resident, but Hepler needs

help. She is seeking donations of 4-ply yarn in any color, materials for quilting, or for somebody who crochets or quilts to donate blankets of their own. Every little bit of yarn can help, she says. Her blankets are like rainbows, bringing color, spirit and smiles into nursing homes and hospitals. She does not want to stop spreading such joy. Contact Jean Hepler at 947-2250 if you would like to lend a helping hand or donate materials.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Spotlight on summer food safety Picnics, barbecues and poolside parties are part of summer holiday fun. While warmer weather is ideal for outdoor gatherings, it also offers the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply in food – especially when you’re cooking and eating away from the kitchen. Every year about 76 million Americans get sick from eating contaminated food. Although the usual result is a few hours or days of tummy troubles, infections can be serious. Five thousand people in the United States die each year from foodborne illness. Harmful bacteria are the most common cause.

Keep cool with Kamut salad Kamut (K-Moot) is a mild-tasting, chewy grain that tastes both nutty and buttery. A relative of wheat and spelt, Kamut is a complete protein containing proteins similar to those in animal foods. Because Kamut is larger than rice or wheat, it takes longer to cook. Cooked Kamut can be frozen for future use. Here’s a tasty summer salad featuring Kamut and some favorite veggies and berries.

5,000 Americans die each year from foodborne illness. Good practices pay off Much of the time, such food-related infections can be prevented by following a few food safety precautions. Uncooked meat, poultry and seafood are often loaded with bacteria. “Avoiding cross-contamination is the biggest thing,” advises Beth Booker, Fort Sanders Regional Clinical Dietitian. “Keep uncooked meats refrigerated and securely wrapped in plastic bags and away from other foods. Thaw or marinate them in the refrigerator, not on the counter.” ■ Use a separate cutting board for raw foods. ■ Check that they’re cooked to a safe temperature with a food thermometer. ■ Don’t put cooked food back on the same plate that held raw food unless you’ve washed it ﬁrst. ■ Wash hands with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds before and after handling these raw foods. ■ Use clean cutting boards, utensils, dishes and countertops, and wash after each food-prep task.

Keep bacteria in check Buy unblemished fruits and vegetables, and refrigerate perishable produce. To reduce bacteria, rinse under running water and cut away any areas that are

Ingredients 1 cup Kamut grains 4 cups water 1 cup edamame, steamed per package instructions 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins 1/2 cup diced sweet red peppers 1/4 cup reduced-fat feta crumbles 1/2 cup diced cucumber Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste 1/2 to 3/4 cup vinaigrette salad dressing of choice Salad greens (optional)

damaged or bruised. Dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. “Keep cold food cold and hot food hot,” explains Booker. To prevent bacteria from growing in food, refrigerate or use ice or gel packs in coolers to keep cold foods 40 degrees or below. Keep hot foods at least 140 degrees or warmer. Don’t let food sit

out for more than two hours – cut that time in half if the air temperature is more than 90 degrees. “Don’t let your normal kitchen safety rules lapse just because you’re cooking or serving outdoors,” warns Booker. “With a few precautions, you can avoid having food poisoning ruin your picnic.”

Directions Cook the Kamut as you would rice, lengthening the cooking time to about 1 1/2 hours (or 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Check the grains frequently until it tastes chewy, but is cooked all the way through. Pour off any liquid and cool the grains to slightly warm temperature. Toss the grains with the remaining ingredients. Serve plain or on a bed of mixed greens. Serves 6-8 as a main dish salad.

Don’t blow your holiday with a firework injury! Thousands of Americans are injured each year in incidents associated with fireworks, according to the National Council of Fireworks Safety. Most of these injuries occur during the Fourth of July holiday and include serious burns, loss of fingers and blindness. Though the most disabling injuries occur with illegal firecrackers, such as M-80s, the majority of injuries are caused by bottle rockets, sparklers and Roman candles.

Staying safe Viewing public displays handled by professionals is the safest way to enjoy fireworks on the Fourth of July or any other day. Even then, keep a safe distance away. If you plan to celebrate the holiday with your own fireworks, these tips can help prevent injuries: ■ Don’t let children play with the fireworks. ■ Never place any part of your body over a fireworks device. ■ Wear safety goggles to protect the eyes from flying sparks or debris when handling fireworks. ■ Don’t use bottle rockets. Their flight paths are erratic and rocket launchers sometimes explode. ■ Don’t consume alcohol when using fireworks. ■ Don’t re-light fireworks that don’t work properly. ■ Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of malfunction or fire. ■ Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks. ■ Follow label directions. ■ Ignite fireworks outdoors. ■ Light only one at a time. U.S. hospital emergency departments treated an estimated 8,600 people ■ Buy from reliable fireworks sellers. for fireworks-related injuries in 2010. Seventy-three percent of these injuries ■ Never carry fireworks in your pocket. happened between June 18 and July 18.

Caregiver seminar

We need homes to call our own! My name is Pickles, aka Sweet Pickles, because I am so sweet. I'm a 9 pound male black and tan Chihuahua about 3-years-old. I'm excellent at walking on a leash, housebroken, and ride well in the car, I love toys and other little dogs, I know "sit" and I go to my crate all by myself when you tell me to go to bed and sleep all night long without a peep. But I would love to sleep under the covers right next to you if you'll have me. I'm just on a pit stop for now with my foster mom and I know there is a home out there just for me!

I'm Mushu! I'm a male, 3-1/2-year-old, Hairless Chinese Crested. They call me hairless but I have a nice mane down my back and more hair than most. I am about 8 pounds and have had sort of a rough time of it. I'm pretty sad and ready to look for love again. I would be happy in a home with gentle children and/ or other small dogs. Please make sure you know the breed before applying for me because we are unique! But if you understand our special requirements and are looking for a cuddly, friendly, and loyal guy to hang out with, I may be the one. My name is Mandy and I'm a 5-year-old female Maltese. I came from a puppy mill where I wasn't treated very well. I'm learning how to walk on a leash. I love to be with my foster mom wherever she goes! I just hop and leap and am so happy all the time! Housetraining is, as always with puppy mill dogs, a work in progress. I do my business outside but don't quite understand that I can't do the same inside. I'll need someone who will be patient and continue to work with me on this. A house with a fenced in yard may be best so I can run around on my own. I hope you'll consider making me a part of your family!

Rural/Metro adds technology Rural/Metro has introduced intubation technology into its ambulances, making it easier to open and maintain a patient’s airway in an emergency. The King Vision video laryngoscope was introduced in a trial number of Rural/Metro ambulances last week, but will soon roll out to Knox County’s entire 49-ambulance fleet. The laryngoscope uses LED digital display technology to magnify the airway and project it on a screen at the paramedic’s eye level for better visualization. The blade portion of the device, which is inserted into the airway to introduce the tube for breathing, has a camera lens attached. The image is then relayed to a screen on the handle of the device. This allows for faster, more accurate placement of breathing tubes to maintain an open airway.
