Food City’s Gilbert is best
Halls resident Terri Gilbert, manager of Food City’s Clinton Highway store, was named among the 2012 Progressive Grocer Top Women in Grocery Award winners. She will be Terri Gilbert recognized at an event in Chicago later this year. “We are extremely proud to have a member of our store management team receive such a prestigious honor,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. “Terri is an exceptional store manager. She is dedicated to her customers, her associates and her community and is most certainly a tremendous asset to our company.”
Farewell message
The Rev. Lester Mullins has pastored Pleasant Hill Baptist Church for 25 years and now it’s time to retire. Mullins told his deacons he wants to continue to worship at Pleasant Hill, but as a senior member. His final sermon as pastor will be Sunday, July 15, and he hopes for a big turnout. Pleasant Hill is located on Brushy Valley Road across from Copper Ridge School.

$11 million left turn
By Sandra Clark
How much must it cost to turn left? Halls residents occasionally ask about road improvements for Maynardville Highway (state route 33). The widening of Hwy. 33 from Temple Acres to the Union County line has been designed and rightsof-way purchased. But environmental concerns have pushed back a contract letting until later this year, according to Mark Nagi of the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Nagi said last week that the earliest possible letting would be Oct. 26. TDOT recently opened the five-laned stretch of Hwy. 33 within the city limits of Maynardville. Knox County is no closer to starting a project to allow a left turn from Norris Freeway onto Hwy. 33. Currently, traffic from Emory Road (Powell) and Norris Freeway must either travel on the two-lane Emory Road that winds between Halls Middle School and Beaver Dam Baptist Church to continue on toward Gibbs or Maynardville, or turn right onto Hwy.
33 and look for a cross-over to turn north. Jim Snowden, engineer with Knox County Engineering and Public Works Department, said the “best case scenario” would be this time next year, Jim Snowden and that depends on TDOT’s level of funding. He estimated $11 million to complete the project. Existing northbound lanes toward Union County will not be altered, Snowden said, but the southbound lanes will be shifted over, eliminating the wide median at Norris Freeway. The resulting median would resemble Middlebrook Pike, he said. The current median is 200 feet wide at its widest point. The Middlebrook Pike median is about 20 feet wide. He said the dogwood trees planted by the Halls Business and Professional Association could be transplanted. “Our focus is to try to move the
traffic to Maynardville Hwy. or east to Corryton. All that traffic and not a good way to get there.” Engineers have determined it is “too close” to widen Emory between the church and the school. He said to simply modify the signal “would be a confusing layout. “We did take several alternates to public hearing. A majority of the comments were that this plan is the best one.” Lanes will be added to May-
nardville HIghway to create better traffic flow, Snowden said. “To try to do that with that median would have been very difficult. “Although it’s expensive, for the longterm benefit of the community – we’re looking at 30 years out – traffic is going to flow better with this design. Snowden reiterated that his department’s goals are to make traffic flow more efficient and to make it safer. Betty Bean contributed to this report.
Burchett offers employees days off When Mayor Tim Burchett announced that county employees who report to him, along with the 1,000 or so who report to the Sheriff, would get an additional five days of vacation, we asked about the county’s vacation policy. Communications manager Michael Grider gave this response: “An extra five days is correct. The formula is unchanged. The accrual rates stay the same, and the additional leave hours are just added to the employee’s balance. “Employees accrue annual
hours each pay period (every two weeks). The accrual rate varies based on longevity. Employees who are just starting with the county accrue annual leave at a rate that is 4.62 percent of hours worked each pay period. That is to say that an 80 hour employee will accrue (80 x .0462) 3.696 hours of annual leave each pay period. Each year, the accrual rate goes up slightly. Employees with 20+ years of service max out at an accrual rate of 9.23 percent of hours worked.”

Squad car gets 80 ‘smiles’ an hour, owner says By Jake Mabe The reaction to Mark Cawood’s Mayberry squad car coming to Halls was fiercer than any kind of Independence Day firecracker, I’ll tell you that. Cawood, a Karns resident and former Knox County commissioner, drove the customized 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 by the office last Thursday following the news of the death of Andy Griffith. The popular actor’s self-titled 1960s CBS-TV show, set in fictional Mayberry, N.C., is a sweet slice of Americana. A big fan of the series, Cawood found the car in Livington, Tenn.
He had it painted and said the hardest part to find was the clip that holds the car’s trademark rear antenna in place. He found it at Wade Shields’ electronics store, “back in the ’70s box!” The police light came from Phoenix, Ariz. The rear license plate says “Fife,” named after Barney Fife, M.D. (Mayberry Deputy), and the car has a bumper sticker of Barney’s favorite saying, “Nip it in the bud!” Cawood has the car rigged to play the “Griffith Show” theme and blast a Barney Fife siren, too. He’s even got Barney’s hat and motorcycle helmet and a “Bert Miller Merchandise” suitcase along for the ride. Everywhere he goes, Cawood stops traffic. We almost had a fender-bender on Doris Circle last Thursday.
A shot of Mark Cawood’s 1964 Ford Galaxie from its rear side, customized to look like the Mayberry squad car from “The Andy Griffith Show.” Note the “Fife” license plate and the “Nip it in the bud” bumper sticker. Cawood, a longtime “Griffith Show fan” and former Knox County commissioner, brought the car by the Shopper-News office last week. Andy Griffith died July 3 at age 86. Photo by Ruth White
“It gets 80 ‘smiles’ per hour,” Cawood said. He’s taken photos of the squad car’s stops all around town. You can see them on his Facebook page. He even got flagged down when he passed a wedding at the World’s Fair Park on June 30 so the bride and groom could get a photo with the car. Police officers also love to stop him – to get a (camera) shot of the car. “I’m a chronic jaywalker,” Cawood jokes. He gives out stickers to the kids
and brochures to the adults designed by Cawood’s pastor, Steve Higginbotham of Karns Church of Christ. “Andy Griffith was such a great actor, but he was also the creator of great entertainment all around. The show was written not just with jokes in mind, but with smalltown values in mind. Mayberry is the way Halls and Karns and all these communities used to be.” About that time, somebody pulled up sporting a smile and a cell phone. Cawood grinned, too. “Happens everywhere I go.”

News from Office of Register of Deeds
June outpaces 2011 By Sherry Witt Although not quite as robust as the figures from May, data from the month of June c ont i nue to show some encouraging Witt signs for real estate activity. For the month that closed out on Friday, June 29, there were 836 property transfers recorded in Knox County. While that is 12 short of the number registered in May, it surpassed last June’s figure by 125. It is the fourth consecutive month that has outpaced its 2011 counterpart for the number of properties sold. The aggregate value of the property transferred in Knox County during June was $170.6 million, which also fell just short of the May amount of $176 million. May and June of 2012 were about $40 million ahead of the same period from last year in terms of the total value of property sold. Mortgage lending also continued to trend ahead of its 2011 pace. During June, approximately $278 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, compared to $220 million a year ago. Continued low interest rates and government
programs which have allowed refinancing for homeowners who are upside down on their mortgages have contributed to the healthier numbers. The largest sale of the month was indicated by a Special Warranty Deed between Knoxville 100 LLC and ASO Knoxville LLC for property located at 145 Moss Grove Blvd. The consideration was $9.58 million. Another large transfer was the sale of an office complex located at Locust Street and Summit Hill Drive. That parcel sold for just more than $3.5 million. The only mortgage transaction of more than $10 million was a construction loan for property in Brookview Town Centre for $10,877,500. Since June 30th marked the halfway point of 2012, some noteworthy comparisons can be made between the data compiled for this year and that from the first six months of 2011. In terms of property transfers, 2012 has seen 4,104 sales while 3,688 were recorded during the same period of 2011. So far in 2012 there has been just more than $772 million in real property sold in Knox County. This time last year that figure was running at about $747 million.

government No sparks from mulch report The mulch fire report, released by the city two weeks ago, has been greeted by a large yawn. This fire lasted many days. It caused major inconvenience to nearby businesses. It triggered a significant fish kill in Third Creek. Clearly, the mulch pile was allowed to expand far beyond its permitted height without anyone halting it. The buildup led to the fire. The absence of a public discussion is somewhat astonishing given the scope of the problem and potential for a repeat. Will Council follow this issue and make certain the recommendations in the report are implemented? The city Administration would be well advised to report back in a few months on its own compliance with its report. Taxpayers deserve more than a one- or two-day report which is soon forgotten or shelved. Parking: In the past, parking for visitors at the Gloria Ray Visitors Center on Gay Street has been hard to secure, but interim KTSC head Kim Bumpas is working on locating more parking spaces adjacent to the building and expects to have 21 spaces by August. This will be a giant step forward for out-of-town visitors who wish to get a better idea of what Knoxville has to offer. Bumpas plans to submit this to the KTSC board at its July 10 meeting. Burchett report: The current controversy over the Tim Burchett campaign financial disclosure has many aspects to ponder before reaching an opinion. First, a candidate should never name a relative as treasurer even if legal and it is. It is not a good practice. This is further complicated with Allison Burchett saying she cannot locate the records. Without documents, it will be hard to determine what happened when checks were made out by Allison Burchett to herself.
Victor Ashe
Second, having known Tim Burchett more than 30 years, it is hard to imagine that he would knowingly violate the law or encourage someone else to do so. His honesty is clear and separate from policy positions he may take which are subject to public debate. He has integrity. He also is frugal with both his own and the public’s money. The best way forward for him now is to be totally candid about what happened, take steps to ensure further donations and expenses are handled by a treasurer who has no ties to him personally, and work hard to find the paperwork on prior checks which seems to be missing. This could be a story which ultimately leads nowhere but is good for weeks of articles. A cloud is created which will not go away. The request for New Sentinel records by Mayor Burchett will only intensify the media scrutiny of the whole matter regardless of the outcome. Kudos: The Rogero Administration deserves compliments for the recent installation of the handsome new iron fence around Blount Mansion east of the City County Building. It really dresses up the area and replaces an ugly chain link fence which created the wrong image for Gov. Blount’s home. This started with the backing of former Deputy Mayor Larry Martin under Mayor Daniel Brown and was implemented by Knoxville’s energetic young public service director David Brace. This is an excellent example of what the city can do to assist a nonprofit which means so much to the history of the total community.

Tim Hutchison’s family legacy Former Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison says there’s an easy explanation for why he’s running for the state Legislature: his parents and grandparents set a high standard for him to follow.
Anne Hart
“They were always helping other people, and that’s what I wanted to do. It’s still what I want to do.” He says the recent death of his father, Shannon, served as a reminder of that legacy. “Helping other people is what he put first in his life, and I don’t want to forget that.” During his 33 years in law enforcement, including 17 years as sheriff, Hutchison had many opportunities to help others, and not all of them were popular at the time. One such example occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans with a fury in 2005. Hutchison’s response was to take to the air with three of his office’s Black Hawk helicopters with two pilots in each to allow for maximum time in the air. “When we got there, there were still people who Upcoming Board of Education meetings had been on roofs for three The Knox County Board of Education will conduct a days.

Main Street. spite some early criticism
at home, “it was definitely the highlight of my career, being able to help people like that.” In gratitude for the emergency aid, Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish (La.) wrote, “On behalf of all the people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who were affected by Hurricane Katrina, I express our heartfelt thanks. I was credited with saving hundreds of lives because I provided helicopter support to the New Orleans Police Department. In fact, the helicopters were actually helicopters from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee. The helicopters did much to save hundreds of lives in New Orleans.” Hutchison says he and Lee had met while serving on the same committees at the National Sheriff’s Association, “and when he called and asked for help, I was glad we could provide it.” Hutchison says he wants to continue that kind of service to others in the Legislature. He is especially interested in finding ways to help small businesses and seniors. He looks back with particular pride at one of the programs for seniors he established as sheriff: Project SCAN – Senior Citizens Awareness Network. “It provides a plan for seniors to check on their neighbors on a regular basis, particularly those who live alone. It has meant a lot to people.” Hutchison says he has always enjoyed interacting with the public, and especially so during this campaign. “I am really enjoying going door-to-door to hear people’s concerns. One of
Tim Hutchison with his grandchildren, all of whom attend school in the 89th District. From left are Blake, Amherst Elementary; Lexie, Karns Middle School; and Makenna, Karns Elementary. the things they’re telling me is that they want government out of their lives – all levels of government. It has become far too intrusive. “They know that businesses won’t be attracted to Tennessee if we pass a state income tax. They don’t want a state income tax and I don’t want a state income tax. “They also know we need to get government out of the way of businesses as much as we can so that businesses can grow. “And they know we don’t need the Legislature to keep passing unfunded mandates. They pass something over there and then all of a sudden local government has to run around and find the money to pay for it. The attitude in Nashville seems to be ‘just pass it and
everybody will learn to live with it.’ That’s not right. “All levels of government seem to take the attitude that they’re just one resolution away from a perfect society, and that’s not the truth.” He adds with a laugh: “I’d like to have a resolution that says for every new law you pass, you have to take two off the books. “What I want is a smaller, smarter government. I think that’s what the people of this district want, too.” Hutchison is a graduate of West High, and his wife, the former Jan Kohl, is a graduate of Farragut.

‘Hank hung the moon’
(and Rheta did too) Let me get this out of the way right out of the gate: this column is biased. Rheta Grimsley Johnson has been sweetening my Sunday morning coffee for a coon’s age. (Or, at least since the Sentinel switched her column from Wednesdays to the first of the week.) Next to Marvin West, Rheta is the best, a super scribe, a forever favorite, J.D. Salinger to my Ray Kinsella. (See the novel “Shoeless Joe.”) She has made me glad and she has made me mad and she has made me fall in love with an unforgettable cast of characters, most of whom I never would have met otherwise. Most of all, she marvels at music, music that grabs you, stabs you, soars you into the stratosphere and drags you into de-
spair. In other words, she’s got terrific taste in tunes. Which is one of a million reasons why her latest book, “Hank Hung the Moon (and Warmed our Cold, Cold Hearts)” is such a delight. It is not a biography of Hiram King Williams. That’s been done before, good ones, bad ones, those in between. No, this is a musical memoir, musings on moments when the song remembered when, centered on country music’s king. Rheta’s late husband, Don Grierson, called what Hank did “industrial-strength country,” and that’s as spot-on as a big red bull’s-eye. It was honest and it was real and it was cherubic and it was sinful and it was as stark as a life sentence without parole. She talks about first hearing
Hank because her Daddy loved him. She then moved on to her own “magical mystery tour” when her Boomer generation changed music forever. But, she found her way home in the mid-70s, when she and her first husband, Jimmy Johnson, made up the entire editorial staff of a weekly newspaper in Monroeville, Ala., in the county where Hank had briefly lived as a boy. “Often, I’d be riding down the road alone,” she writes, listening to the radio on her way to an assignment, “and Hank’s voice would slice through the static like a meteor through a night sky. For the first time since early childhood, Hank was riding with me. I liked it.” She talks about meeting Cathy “Jett” Williams, the lost daughter nobody knew Hank had until Jett landed in the early 1980s. She talks about finding a box marked “Hank” in the attic of the Louisiana home she’d owned with Grierson while cleaning it out after his death in

the winter season or a oncein-a-lifetime educational adventure for Yemi Makanjuola and other Volunteers. Most likely it will be a blend, serious business and unforgettable sights. Other coaches who have taken other teams on this outing report multiple benefits. “It was a great trip,” says Rick Byrd, who led Belmont
to Italy last August. “I have shared our experiences with Coach Martin.” Byrd said some coaches want all basketball, practice, practice, practice, play every day. “We played three games. We wanted the trip to be meaningful to the players.” Trent Johnson, then of LSU, took the Tigers to Italy last summer. “The cultural experience is valuable. Anytime you go out of this country, you know how fortunate and how blessed you are to live here. There are a lot of guys on this team that had never been anywhere.” Oregon coach Dana Alt-
2009. Inside she discovered the work Grierson and his former wife, Pat, had collected for a planned book about Hank, first conceived roughly about the time Jett surfaced. She talks about having dinner with Myron Floren, the great accordion player with the ubiquitous grin from “The Lawrence Welk Show.” Myron told Rheta he didn’t mind the accordion jokes, “as long as I’m playing 150 concerts a year.” “Same as Myron,” she writes, “Hank Williams certainly never worried about whether he was hip or not.” But my favorite part of the book happens when Rheta writes about how her daddy would stretch out on a rarely-used couch on Sunday afternoons, weary from his work as a butcher for WinnDixie, and listen to music until he drifted off to dream. Her father was 34 then, and had outlived Hank Williams by five long years. “And some days, when the paycheck wouldn’t stretch quite far

Lake Como was something they’ll remember and the cathedral in Milan is unbelievable. “We stopped in Florence and saw the statue of David. I think everybody will have a lot of memories, and the food was pretty good, too.” Martin has been there. He played professionally in Italy. He sounds fair and balanced. “For our team, the trip provides a chance to gain valuable time together on and off the court. For our fans, it’s a chance to combine a European vacation

She talks about Hank’s innate genius, his ability to sum up a thousand heartaches in three minutes, the way he knew a midnight sky was purple, not pitch black or dirty blue. Any ol’ idiot can blather on for 800 words. The trick is to get to the heart of the thing and to do it without taking the long way around the barn. “Hank speaks of ‘old, sad yesterday,’ and you know he’s successfully shortened every description of despair ever written to just the three perfect words: Old, sad yesterday. Perfect.” Just like this book. If you like good writing or good music, the three chords and the truth kind, go get “Hank Hung the Moon.” Savor it. Or, save it. Tuck it away for a literal or figurative rainy day, when you just might need it. Whatever you do, just read it.

Knox native faces death penalty in Mississippi murder-for-hire Arnold Smith was one of the smartest kids in West High School’s Class of 1960. Gangly and tall, he had a goofy grin and peered at the world through blackrimmed Buddy Hollyesque glasses. Kids today would probably classify him as full-on nerd.
Betty Bean He was evidently considered something of a mad scientist – the father of one of his friends used to worry that he’d blow up the neighborhood with the experiments he conducted in the basement of his Terrace Avenue home. So it probably didn’t surprise anybody when he went to medical school, became an oncologist and opened his own cancer treatment center. There was nothing about him in 1960 that would make anybody predict that this high school National Honor Society member would be spending the blazing hot summer of 2012 in a Mississippi jailhouse charged with orchestrating a murder-for-hire scheme to kill his ex-wife’s lawyer. A smattering of his old friends, neighbors and classmates have been following the news from Greenwood, Miss., and although hardly any of them will talk about it on the record, it’s probably safe to describe their reactions as stunned bemusement. Circuit Court Judge Harold Wimberly grew up with Smith, but has only seen him occasionally over the years. “He’d call every once in
awhile and came to class reunions, but that was about it,” Wimberly said. “Undoubtedly he made more money than any of us, owning that cancer clinic. He was always very smart in things like chemistry and science.” Wimberly was in New York when the news broke about the shootout in Greenwood lawyer Lee Abraham’s office between government agents and two hapless would-be hit men. A friend sent him a link to a story about their childhood friend being charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit murder and one count of capital murder, which carries a potential death penalty. “He said ‘Wow! Look at this!’ “It happened the last Saturday in April.

■ Arnold Smith, West High School Class of 1960 Knoxville College students started picketing segregated downtown theaters and lunch counters in February 1960, but the schools Arnold attended – Van Guilder Elementary, Tyson Junior and West High – were close to home and all-white, something that wouldn’t begin to change until 1963, when African-American parents took the Knoxville city schools to court and forced an end to school segregation – nine years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling. While Arnold was accepted into UT as a matter of routine, another member of the Class of ’60, Theotis Robinson of Austin High School, had an uphill climb. It took a personal meeting with UT president Andy Holt and a vote of the board of trustees to get him in the door, and that didn’t happen until January 1961 (UT was on the quarterly system in those days). ■
Music was good
Segregation wasn’t much of an issue when it came to music. “Tonight’s the Night” by the Shirelles was the No. 1 song on the radio that year, followed by Ray Charles’ “Georgia.” “Cathy’s Clown,” by a couple of longhaired West High alums who’d been kicked off Cas Walker’s show, the Everly Brothers, charted in at No. 10 that year. Chubby Checker just barely missed the top 100 with his new dance sensation “The Twist.” Downtown Knoxville was entering the long, slow decades of decay that would follow. Bus ridership was declining and businesses started relocating to the suburbs. The old market house burned down in December 1959. Hardly any-
Off to Memphis
Smith left Knoxville in August 1963, when he enrolled in UT’s Medical Units in Memphis. While there, he was inducted into the AOAMedical Honorary Society and got his MD in January 1967. He did a yearlong surgery internship there and then did a residency in neurosurgery, special diagnostics, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine at the Mayo Clinic. He did other residencies at the University of Kentucky and the University of Mississippi and moved to Jackson, Miss., in 1974 to become the director of the Department of Radiation Oncology, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. Two years later, he became medical director and radiation oncologist at North Central Mississippi Regional Cancer Center in Greenwood. His website says he was Mississippi’s first full-time board certified radiation oncologist in private practice. In December 1997, he added membership in the American Board of AntiAging Medicine to his long string of credentials. His clinic thrived, and so did Smith, who became a collector of antiques and historic artifacts. As his professional successes mounted, Smith’s personal life was crumbling. He was married and divorced twice, and fathered nine children, whose ages range from 42 to 17, the eldest of whom is an oncologist practicing in Arkansas. ■
First, kill the lawyers
The biggest part of his troubles seems to date back to 1994, when his second wife, Sara McAdory Smith, filed for divorce, triggering a nasty four-year fight over money and possessions. In a bizarre 1999 deposition connected to an insurance claim over property he claimed had been stolen
from his home, Smith did not attempt to implicate his exwife but complained that she pestered him continually for additional money, even after the decree became final. The word bizarre comes up a lot in documents and news reports from this period, as demonstrated by his rant, under oath, about multiple elaborate conspiracies to deprive him of his livelihood and material goods. He claims, among other tribulations, that a family with a housecleaning business systematically stole antiques, rugs, artwork, appliances, clothes, food, car keys, dry goods, flyswatters and the rubber “flippers” from one of his vintage toilet tanks, leaving inferior look-alike replicas in their place. Smith had developed an obsessive hatred of his wife’s lawyer, Lee Abraham, a member of a wealthy, politically connected family. In April of this year, Smith told a newspaper that he’d been lured into the country and stabbed by someone who’d promised to deliver compromising photos of Abraham, whom Smith labels as a “Muslim” bent on doing him in. What he didn’t know was that state authorities were already investigating a reported plot against Abraham’s life, so when the attorney contacted the Mississippi attorney general to report that someone had offered to sell him a gun that would implicate Arnold Smith in a plot to have Abraham killed, he was instructed to tell the informant to come to his office on a Saturday night. Three state agents were waiting when 20-something year-old felons Keaira Byrd and Derrick Lacy arrived wearing ski masks and toting assault weapons. A gunfight ensued, and Byrd was killed. Smith was arrested the next morning, denied bond and remains in the LeFlore County jail, awaiting trial. His prospects look bleak, since a video he took of himself telling Byrd to put a bullet between Abraham’s eyes has fallen into the hands of the prosecution. He hasn’t been idle, though. His medical license was set to expire on June 30, and the state Board of Medical Licensure required the sheriff to haul him to a nearby county to attend a special hearing where his privilege to practice medicine was extended until June 30, 2013.

Winning songwriters perform Room for us all at Beaver Ridge UMC The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore … and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.

Morton performed two of her original songs, “My Strength” and “I’m Not Going Down.” She was the Powell High School winner of its CTE Goes Idol contest singing “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz. Stewart sang “Everything,” one of the 50 songs she has written. She won an open mic contest at TGIF recently and will be performing there 7-10 p.m.

remember why this country came to be? Because some Puritans left England, fled to Holland and ultimately came here, seeking religious freedom. They wanted the freedom to worship as they pleased. They were Protestants, not Anglicans. They also wanted to separate religious affiliation from eligibility for public office. (In England at that time, one couldn’t be elected to be the village dogcatcher if he was not a member of the Church of England.) Some of those same issues came with the immigrants. Even in the New World, some people wanted to make everyone fit their mold. There were colonies where religious freedom was nonexistent. But the framers of the Constitution carefully granted religious freedom to all, which is why we are not forced to belong to the same faith, or the same church. We are not forced to recite the same creed, or sing the same hymns. We are not forced to worship at all. And it is exactly why the Muslims among us are free to build a mosque so that they may worship as they see fit. They are American citizens. They have the same freedoms, the same rights. Just as there are American cathedrals and American little churches in the wildwood, there are also American synagogues and American mosques. It is who we are! It is why we are!

Davis receives Carden, Carson-Newman scholarships By Hannah Evans Andrea Davis will be a Carson-Newman freshman in the fall. This talented and driven Halls High School graduate has many plans for the future. In high school, Davis stayed busy both at school and in the community. She held a leadership position in student government and was a Key Club member. She sang with the Madrigals and ensemble for three years as a sophomore, junior and senior. She began to seriously consider attending CarsonNewman while she was a sophomore in high school. She was encouraged by her friends and enticed by the prospect of a school where she could find a community in her faith and be able to express her beliefs. Davis will attend Carson-Newman as a music major with an emphasis in
panel of three judges at the school. She was “super nervous, but thankful” for the opportunity, as she had rarely performed for a panel in this way. She also received the $500 Stephen R. Carden Vocal Music Scholarship from the United Methodist Men of Christ United Methodist Church. She will most likely use the money from this scholarship toward books or for required voice lessons. The scholarship is named in honor of Mr. Carden, who was the leader of the quartet 4Given at Christ United Methodist until his death from cancer last October. Fred Russell, another group member, said Mr. Carden continued to sing during his treatment, “when he couldn’t otherwise get around, and was such an inspiration to the church.”
communications, media or public relations. She’s not sure of her career path but is certain she wants to pursue communications and grow her love for music. She comes from a musically-inclined family and says she was singing at church before she could even read. She laughs and says, “I sang the same song and would just kind of hold the words upside down.” Davis enjoys a broad spectrum of music, from contemporary Christian and old hymns to country and R&B. She has long loved singing and playing the piano. This talent resulted in two college scholarships for music. Carson-Newman awarded Davis with a $5,000 annual scholarship to study voice. To compete for it, she performed two audition pieces in front of a
2012 Halls High graduate Andrea Davis receives the $500 Stephen R. Carden Memorial Scholarship, created by the United Methodist Men of Christ United Methodist Church in Halls, from Fred Russell and Mr. Carden’s son, Chris Carden. Mr. Carden, who led the quartet 4Given, passed away last October. Photo submitted Russell says 4Given continued singing as a trio but two weeks ago added a bass singer, Tim Stamm, to complete the quartet. As a freshman, Davis will be taking required music classes and participating in
the women’s choir. In the fall, she will audition for positions in higher choirs as well. Davis says that she has always “kind of had that drive” in her. She is excited about the whole college experience.
She concedes that this is a two-sided deal: it is both invigorating and scary to choose a path for the rest of her life. “God’s got it under control.”

Knoxville based group The Lonetones had the opportunity to play during Mighty Musical Monday at the Tennessee Theatre. They fi lled the auditorium with sounds of “original music that artfully fuses an indie-rock aesthetic with Appalachian roots music.” The band played numerous instruments during the performance, switching from banjo to mandolin to electric guitar. The group has been called modern folk, indie-folk, Americana and folk rock to name a few, but whatever style you call the Lonetones’ music, it’s a unique sound that is sure to get your toes

tapping and clapping along to the beat. Steph Gunnoe sings lead for the group with beautiful harmonies added by Maria Williams (who also plays bass). Gunnoe grew up in Charleston, West Virginia to a musical family – her dad played banjo and her mom sang opera. She learned to play guitar and began writing songs that were reminders of the coal mines. Sean McCollough plays guitar and sings lead on several songs. He is an instructor at the University of Tennessee, teaching courses on the history of rock and Appalachian music.

Dennis Johnson with just a few of the hundreds of state and county license plates he has accumulated in his ongoing collection.
I’ve been everywhere By Cindy Taylor This column has never focused on the ordinary and this article will take it even a step further. Generally we talk to those who have taken an art form to a new level. This week we spent time with someone who has talents that required persistence as well as ability.
DOWN-home UPdate Dennis Johnson has not only collected an expansive knowledge of Union County that he has categorized in the far reaches of his brain, but he has actually set foot in every other county in the 50 United States. That’s right. Every county. All 3,142 of them. Something only 25-30 people have done. During his county visits, which began in 1992, he would often collect things like
Civil War artifacts, many of which were found while Johnson was snorkeling. Yeah, he does that too. When asked why he would want to make the trek to every county in the U.S., his response was simple. “You can’t get there accidentally,” said Johnson. “I did it for the same reason many have climbed Mount Everest. It was there.” Johnson, an Army veteran and biologist, had a conversation years ago with a coworker about what it would be like to set foot in every county in the U.S. The next thing he knew, they were traveling those roads. “Obviously, the first county I visited was Montgomery County, Md., because that is where I was born. The last was Trousdale County, Tenn.,” said Johnson, who also collects license plates. He has one from every state and one for every year from Nebraska and Tennessee beginning in 1916. Johnson also enjoys taking his metal detector when he travels. That device is what has enabled him to find most
of the Civil War artifacts. Parents Grader and Jessie Johnson moved to Union County during WWII when Johnson was about 3 years old. Grader served as the first mayor of Maynardville when the city was incorporated in the late 1950s. Johnson now lives in his parent’s old homeplace that he and wife Gwen have renovated. He is also in the process of remodeling a log home that dates from the 1800s. The log home was moved to the property by his father when Johnson was in high school and the two worked on it together until Johnson left for college. Gwen has traveled to some of the counties with her husband, but since much of his trek was while he was on the job, she missed out on many of them. The couple will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in September. At the young age of 73, Johnson just chuckles when asked what’s next. “I do like to bird watch. Or maybe I’ll visit all of the national parks,” said Johnson. “Or maybe the state parks. We’ll just see what comes along.”

E.B.’s Eats and Treats to open this month By Jake Mabe E.B.’s Eats and Treats will open later this month in Mill Branch Plaza. E.B. Hunter originally owned and operated Hunter’s Deli with his wife, Harryette, in Halls for 24 years. “We’re going to specialize in sandwiches,” E.B. says. “It’s a little different angle. I’m not going to have a deep fryer or a grill. We’ll have salads, soups in bread bowls and our well-known homemade desserts.”
E.B. says he helped develop a deli at the BP gas station/post office in Walland and got the urge to come back to the community. The shop, located at 4620 Mill Branch Lane, will seat about 34 patrons and will also offer wi-fi and a selection of selfserve fountain soft drinks and teas. It will be open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. The phone number is 922-2227.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Knox news personality broadcasts importance of colon screenings With his smooth and familiar voice, East Tennessee radio personality Dave Foulk of NewsTalk 98.7 is eager to tell everyone about the importance of getting a colonoscopy, the gold standard test for colon cancer. “The colonoscopy’s nothing,” said Foulk in between news and traffic reports. On the Knoxville airways since 1992, Foulk is back at his microphone after being diagnosed and treated for stage two colon cancer in April at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “Colon cancer surgery is a big deal. A colonoscopy is not a big deal,” stresses Foulk. A colonoscopy is a test that uses a small camera inserted into the colon, while the patient is under anesthesia. It can detect cancers, as well as allow the physician to remove small pre-cancerous growths during the procedure. Foulk’s story began in late March, when he felt very tired. “I just had no energy,” he remembers. “I was tired and chilling. I just thought I was worn out. I thought I’d just rest up on vacation. But my wife made an appointment with my doctor and I got angry at her. I told her: ‘All I want is a nap, and you’re making me go to the doctor.’ ” Foulk went anyway, and the doctor found that he had a low red blood cell count and suspected internal bleeding. “He said, ‘You’re leaking somewhere. When was the last time you had a colonoscopy?’ ” says Foulk. “I had no family history of colon cancer,” says Foulk. He had had a routine colonoscopy at age 50, the recommended age. But since he is now 60, he was due for another. His physician scheduled one with gastroenterologist Dr. Jeffrey Brown at Fort Sanders Regional. During the test, Dr. Brown found and removed several small growths called polyps, which can be precancerous. He also found
part of Foulk’s small intestine. Because it had not spread to nearby lymph nodes, his prognosis is good, and he does not need chemotherapy. “I have to do a follow-up colonoscopy next year and see the doctor every four months for blood tests,” Foulk explains. Although he followed standard guidelines for a colonoscopy at 50 and every 10 years after that, Foulk said he wishes he had had one earlier. “Look at me, the poster child. I started out at 50, then at 60 I was due for another, and this thing had grown to the size of an orange. I think my experience could have been maybe mitigated had we done colon screenings a little more often,” he says. But, he’s thankful it was caught when it was. “Dr. Midis said if I’d waited a few months until I started showing symptoms like cramping or pain, there would have been nothing he could have done to save my life.” Dr. Midis confirms that the colonoscopy After battling colorectal cancer, Dave Foulk has returned to the airwaves on WOKI Newstalk 98.7. saved Foulk’s life.

The common thing is people say, ‘I feel great and that means I can’t have a cancer.’ And that’s the fallacy.” Foulk agrees and urges people not to shy a mass the size of an orange, which he sus- battled bladder cancer in 1996. “I’ve already away from this life-saving screening. “Nogone through the spookiness and weird feel- body wants to have a colonoscopy, but I’m pected was cancer. “After the procedure I asked, ‘Is it can- ing you get when you find out you had can- telling you far and away, it’s more desirable cer?’ ” Foulk remembers. “Dr. Brown was cer,” says Foulk. “But I wasn’t ready for this.” than having a bad outcome.

Coming August 2012!
Colorectal cancer is expected to kill more than 51,000 Americans in 2012, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. One in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer; but fortunately, more and more are surviving because of early detection. There are more than 1 million survivors of colorectal cancer in the United States. “Most of us know someone who’s been touched by this disease,” says Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “But it can be managed, treated and cured if found early.” The best tool for detecting colorectal cancer early is a test called a colonoscopy, a simple, inhospital test that allows a doctor to look inside a patient’s colon. The procedure is quick and simple. While the patient is under anesthesia, a thin, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum and colon, to give the doctor a view inside. Doctors recommend that most healthy people have their first colonoscopy at age 50 and every 10 years after that if the test is negative for polyps, which are small growths. While many polyps are harmless, they sometimes can be precancerous.
If a person has inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, breast cancer or a close family history of colon cancer, he or she should have a colonoscopy at a younger age and more frequently, says Dr. Jackson. “That’s an important clue,” explains Dr. Jackson. “Sometimes if a family member in their 30s has colon cancer, we’ll screen the other family members when they’re 10 years younger.” The most important thing is to get screened. “The thing I’ve learned over the past 25 years is the importance of getting people past the fear and embarrassment of having to go through it,” says Dr. Jackson. Dr. Jackson has diagnosed patients with colon cancer who had never been screened. “The more people we can get screened, the better it’s going to be. I hate when folks miss the opportunity to prevent this terrible disease.” For more information about diagnosing and treating colon cancer, call 865-673-FORT (3678).
Colonoscopy guidelines The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends colonoscopy screening every 10 years, beginning at age 50 through age 75, as a way to prevent colorectal cancer. People at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer should begin screening at a younger age and be screened more frequently. Check with your physician about when to have a colonoscopy if you have a family history of colorectal disease.

Fate saves Chance
Chance is recovering nicely after allegedly being shot by his previous owner’s 12-year-old twin boys. This is the second time an animal has been abused by this family. An investigation is underway. Photo by S. Barrett A few weeks ago, Chance was shot by two 12-year-old members of his family. The bullet bounced off his skull, and the owner waited three days before surrendering the bassett hound to the Jefferson County animal shelter. He is expected to make a full recovery but he will always have a physical scar from the incident.
ily. The looming question seems to be, “How did these kids get their hands on a loaded gun?” “We need to raise awareness of what can happen when children are left unattended,” said Debbie Clark, operations director for HSTV. “(Chance) was lucky not to have lost his eye.” Or his life. Other members of the family – including the other children, if any – were also lucky not to have been Sara the victim. Barrett Although the investigation was still underway at the time this article was written, other potential victims can be saved by using Chance as an example.

Critter Tales
It is every individual’s responsibility to protect those unable to protect themselves. Research has shown a link between those who abuse animals and those who eventually commit crimes against humans. If you suspect an animal is being mistreated in any way, contact animal control immediately. Never assume someone else will.
