HPUD caps sewer fees for summer residential use By Sandra Clark It was business-as-usual when Hallsdale Powell Utility District commissioners met July 11 in their new headquarters. Outside, the old headquarters was being demolished for a parking lot. President and CEO Darren Cardwell said the district will hold an open house for customers “after things settle down.” He must have meant the dust. Commissioners must have been inspired by their new board room. It’s got windows, elbow room and three back doors. They quickly approved two customer-requested resolutions that have been discussed for years. “It’s time,” said chair Jim Hill. Residential sewer customers got a break for

Hillcrest on the list raises questions In the fall of 2008, then-Mayor Mike Ragsdale offered to sell three nursing homes to Hillcrest Healthcare which operated the facilities under a $1 per year lease from the

Analysis county. The proposal ignited a debate that lingered until the lease was extended in February 2009 under the same financial terms with Grace Healthcare taking over management of the facilities. Now, Mayor Tim Burchett’s office has included the nursing homes in a list of properties that could be sold to raise cash for a new elementary school in Carter. But is the mayor serious? Ragsdale’s offer to sell the properties to Hillcrest for $6 million quickly drew fire. Former Commissioner Paul Pinkston countered with a proposal to solicit bids with a minimum asking price of $22 million. The issue divided County Commission. Mike Hammond said he’d received calls and emails asking the county not to balance the budget on

off

“the backs of our sick and elderly.” Early in 2010, the debate flared again when Hillcrest West lost its Medicare and Medicaid certification, and questions about the county’s $1 per year lease resurfaced. One veteran of the nursing home industry said Hillcrest West might bring as much as $6 million in an outright sale, and a lease arrangement under a new provider could generate annual revenue of $700,000 or more for the county. Grace weathered that storm, but including the nursing homes on a list of potential property sales reopens the issue. When commission extended the lease in 2009, it approved an amendment that allows for early termination only “for cause.” The lease runs until 2016. What “cause” could the mayor cite at this date for terminating the lease? The school board’s attitude must also be considered. The vote to approve Burchett’s plan for Carter is likely to be close, and its members won’t look favorably on a plan that could put seniors at risk. Burchett’s communications manager, Michael Grider, says the list of properties was compiled to show that the county could raise the money needed for the new

Hillcrest North. Photo by Ruth White school. To our specific question, Grider replied that (to his knowledge) “no one in the administration has discussed the possibility of selling the Hillcrest properties with Grace.” He added that the school board must approve the mayor’s plan for Carter, that County Commission must sign off on any proposed sale, and that no properties are currently for sale. Thus, the question: why include the nursing homes on a list that sooner or later will be made public unless the facilities are serious candidates for sale to the highest bidder?

One reason could be to inflate the total value of properties on the list. Hillcrest North was appraised for $8.5 million in 2007, a substantial piece of the $19.3 million total for which the mayor’s office provided appraised values. But the most likely explanation is that someone was asleep. Just putting the facilities on the list might cook up a stew the mayor would choke on. Burchett isn’t seriously considering selling the nursing homes to build an elementary school. But somebody on the sixth floor needs to get serious about the details.

sewer charges. HPUD set 26 water meters in June, many in the Union County area of Norris Shores. The district inspected 11 sewer hookups, reflecting slow growth in new construction. HPUD processed 233.3 million gallons of water and 225.6 million gallons of wastewater. Rainfall in June was 9.7 inches; the average is 0.32 inches. Payouts totaled more than $1 million to five contractors. The largest was $585,212 to Merkel Brothers for main water line replacement on Maynardville Pike. “We started north and are working south,” said Cardwell. The next HPUD meeting is 1:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 15, at 3745 Cunningham Road. Info: 922-7547.

July and August. Currently, such customers pay sewer charges for up to 12,000 gallons of water used per month. The wastewater itself is not metered. Yet in the summer, the water used for gardening and lawn maintenance never enters the sewer system. So the cap was dropped to 7,500 gallons of water used per month in July and August this year. Commissioners will evaluate the two-month trial to decide about the policy for future years. The second break is for swimming pool owners, and the change puts HPUD in line with area utilities. The customer must initiate a request for a once-a-year sewer credit for water used to fill the pool. The change is for the calendar year 2011. Hill said customers will pay in full for all water used; the cap and credit come only on

community Even editors have friends It’s said there are cat people and there are dog people. I ran with the canine crowd until 15 years ago when my wife – one of the cat people – “adopted” Hobbes from a family in Karns. At first I wasn’t impressed. Not long past weaning, Hobbes was more fur than substance, and as he matured his black hair grew so long you weren’t sure there was a cat under there until you saw his eyes. For more than 15 years Hobbes claimed his small territory in our neighborhood, making friends just about everywhere he visited. He was a genuine “people cat,” and if you were human you were a potential buddy. Several summers ago we took pity on him under all that fur in the sweltering Hobbes heat and decided he might appreciate a haircut. Hobbes emerged from the vet’s office with the neighborhood’s only feline poodle cut, definitely a cooler cat, but perhaps a little embarrassed about showing all that naked skin. After that we decided to let nature take its course. Hobbes was a bird chaser, not so much of a bird catcher, for which we were grateful. One day he came to the front door with a dove sandwiched precariously between his jaws. As he opened his mouth to brag about his catch, the dove flew away to share the tale of his harrowing escape with his dove pals. Hobbes began slowing down several months ago. As much as he loved the outdoors, he restricted his wandering to a leisurely stroll to our neighbor’s yard. There he would scoot under her deck and wait out the heat of the day before coming in for the evening. Always a hearty eater, Hobbes began refusing food last week and holed up in our bedroom closet, coming out occasionally for water and the call of nature. Last Monday evening I carried him into our backyard where we sat and communed in the shade of the big maple tree he knew so well. Tuesday morning the vet gently assisted him into that long sleep. I miss Hobbes. Even crusty old editors have friends. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

Rural/Metro-Heiskell merger essentially complete Volunteer board to oversee contract By Greg Householder For all intents and purposes, the merger of the Heiskell Volunteer Fire Department and Rural/Metro is complete. While there is still some training to be done, the nuts and bolts of the merger have been worked out. Rural/Metro sponsored an open house at the fire hall July 9 with free hot dogs and chips for the community and the opportunity to check out the equipment now at the Heiskell station. The Fire House for Kids was also on hand, as were personnel from Rural/ Metro and members of the HVFD board of directors. Former HVFD chief Casey Walters will be the reserve lieutenant in charge of the Heiskell station, according to Rural/Metro Chief Jerry Harnish. The HVFD board of directors is still in business, according to chair Steve Rudd. Although the board will not be involved so much with the day-to-day operation of the station, they will oversee the contract with Rural/Metro and RM will pay the HVFD board $1,500

Halls High stadium clean-up continues Volunteers spent time this week cleaning up around the football stadium at Halls High School. A lot of garbage and overgrown weeds were cleaned out in preparation for the next stage of the project. The next clean-up days will be Saturday, July 23, and Saturday, July 30, beginning at 8 a.m. each day. Plans are to pressure wash the stadium seats and begin painting. If you have a pressure washer and/or large scrubbing brushes/brooms, bring them. Anyone who uses the facilities and track is encouraged to stop by to help. The Heiskell VFD and Rural/Metro have joined forces. Dennis Rowe of Rural/Metro, County Commissioner and HVFD board member R. Larry Smith, HVFD board chair Steve Rudd and Rural/ Metro Chief Jerry Harnish were all at the open house in Heiskell on July 9. Photo by Greg Householder per month rent for the buildings and equipment. Prior to the merger, the HVFD coverage area was rated by the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) as a Protection Class (PC) 6 (on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the best and 10 being unprotected). According to Harnish, areas in Knox County served by RM and with a subscription to the company are rated as PC4. Without the subscription, the rating according to ISO

is 10. Homeowners might see a slight break in their home insurance premiums with the improved rating, which will offset the subscription charge a bit. The HVFD board is still a nonprofit and the funds it has collected from donors and will collect from Rural/ Metro will be spent in the Heiskell community. According to board member and Knox County Commissioner R. Larry Smith, one of the ideas being kicked

around by the HVFD board is to consider establishing a community center/fire hall such as the one in Corryton. The HVFD board will continue to meet quarterly.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Mark Padgett is raising so much money in his race for mayor that his disclosure looks like a Republican’s who is running for governor. Never have so many contributed so much for so little since Bobby Denton took on Jean Teague for a council seat back in the day. ■ Tamara Shepherd, who wields the sharpest pencil in Powell, has taken off after Padgett’s disclosed tax info. The thread on Knox (obscure liberal blog) Views was approaching 200 posts at press time – from folks debating whether the candidate of business should be earning less than $30k. ■ Ol’ Stinky is sold. The 159 acres operated by NRR to mulch up green waste was sold by Knox County at auction last week. The winning bidder? NRR for $2 million. ■ Howard and Kenny Phillips hosted a campaign kickoff for Mayor Tim Burchett at Powell Auction. Burchett returned for an election night celebration. Last week Powell Auction handled the sale of Ol’ Stinky, and county officials said the company got a 3 percent buyer’s premium ($60,000) paid by NRR. For this it absorbed expenses associated with the auction (about $7,000) and risked a loss if the sale does not close. ■ Not a bad “Return on Bologna,” Howard! ■ Julia Hurley carved on her desk during a lull in the legislative session, but what did the freshman state rep say? For a good time call … That’s leaving your mark! ■ Jeff Roth, welder, is Tim Burchett’s choice to replace Rachael Craig on the MPC. Craig’s departure leaves no one from South Knox on the planning commission.

greenwaste facility on Joe Daniels Road will soon have a new owner. Sid Brian’s company, Natural Resources Recovery, bid $2 million for the 159-acre tract in a brief but spirited auction last week. The sale kills two birds for Knox County. The proceeds will probably be the first to go toward the $13.8 million cost of a new elementary school in Carter. Selling to NRR, the current tenant, is also the last step in getting the county out of the mulch business, a move many feel is overdue. A mix of about 30 spectators, bidders and media types showed up for the auction. Afterwards, PR guy Mike Cohen issued a statement on behalf of NRR. Besides noting that the company was “delighted” to win the auction, it read: “We also look forward to a new era where we operate in a totally free enterprise environment.” That’s a mouthful. NRR’s relationship with Knox County was criticized early on for stifl ing free enterprise. The critic, Brad Mayes, was on hand and

who inherited a nightmare of questionable management practices from his predecessor. The Mayes-Salter clash has taken on comic opera dimensions with allegations and counter allegations that include spying, character assassination and (seriously) the use of voodoo dolls. Severing the solid waste department’s connection to NRR may not put an end to the lawsuits, but it should curtail adding fuel to the fire. Mayor Tim Burchett read the sale as a sign that “despite the economy, businesses are willing to invest in Knox County,” adding that it reduces the “the footprint of government.” But you wonder how things might have turned out differently. It isn’t necessarily true that government shouldn’t Kenny Phillips of Powell Auction and Realty scans the crowd perform any service found for the next bid at the auction of Knox County’s 159-acre Sol- in the Yellow Pages (you way greenwaste facility property.

Haslam family backs Padgett The city mayoral campaign financial disclosures are a treasure trove of information which generates all sorts of speculation and comment. I could easily write three or four columns off the information contained therein and the Padgett questions which many donations generate. The headlines have appeared, but what’s under the hood of the car remains unexplored. If you want to review them personally, just go online to www.knoxcounty.org/ election and click on candidates’ disclosures on the left side of the front page. The lead items are clear. Mark Padgett is a heck of a fundraiser. It is not close. If Padgett should lose

Victor Ashe

the mayor’s race, he has a great future as a private fundraiser for virtually any worthwhile cause. He has raised $270,000 and has $170,000 on hand while Madeline Rogero has raised $160,000 and has roughly $87,000 (or half of Padgett’s total) on hand. Ivan Harmon lags far behind, while the final two mayoral candidates are almost penniless when it comes to campaign funds. The one-day media attention focused on the Governor’s brother and sister donating $3,000 total to Padgett, a Democrat, while Rogero, also a Democrat,

widely praised as an example of former opponents reconciling and Haslam bringing diverse elements into his administration. Rogero is generally credited with performing well as a city director. Harmon was also working for the city at the same time. However, the current disclosure makes it clear that much of the Haslam family is in the Padgett camp. On the other side of the ledger, Larry Martin, retired banker and a favorite of the business community who runs the dayto-day operations of the city, has donated $500 to Rogero, as did Bill Lyons, who assists Martin in running the city. So while the bulk of the business community which writes campaign checks are sending them to Padgett, two close Haslam confidants from his days as mayor are backing Rogero. One assumes they feel

responded by publicly stating in a Georgiana Vines column on July 9 that Jimmy Haslam had promised to remain neutral but then donated to her rival. Without directly using the “L” word, she effectively accused Haslam of going back on his word. Why she attacked the Governor’s brother mystifies me. Even if he said what she claims, he is a city resident who has every right to support whomever he wants and to change his mind. The entire Haslam family are city voters. Attacks like this may only cause Jimmy Haslam to redouble efforts to raise even more money for Padgett. Perhaps Rogero felt that almost four years working for Mayor Bill Haslam should have earned her some points with other members of the family. At the time of the appointment it was

Sanders Plumbing

her record merits promotion to mayor over Padgett who has met with both Martin and Lyons. It is intriguing that the two Democrats in the mayoral race are the leading campaign donation recipients while Harmon, the Republican running, is a distant third. However, the Harmon strategy is based in part on the two Democrats fighting it out with each other while he gathers Republican Party voters to his column to secure a spot in the city runoff with either Padgett or Rogero. Then he assumes the Democrat who does not make the runoff is sufficiently unhappy with the winning Democrat to remain neutral in the Nov. 8 runoff. This scenario is certainly possible as Harmon is a very likeable, hard working, door-todoor candidate. The state Senate Republican primary held also Sept. 27 will bring extra Republican voters into the city nonpartisan primary which could benefit Harmon.

West Knox Republicans take the cake

By Wendy Smith The primaries are only a little more than two months away, but it wasn’t the heat of the races that threatened to melt the desserts donated to the West Knox Republican Club cake auction. The high temperatures came courtesy of broken air conditioning at the Deane Hill Recreation Center, where the annual event was held last week. But checkbooks were brought out in spite of stifling heat to support the club and its candidates. The auction typically raises around $1,000, said club president John Gabriel. The community was invited to attend the event and partake of free barbecue catered by Rothchild, and candidates were encouraged to donate baked goods to the auction. Some busy office-seekers chose to purchase their donations rather than spend time in the kitchen. Mayoral candidate Mark Padgett opted to bring a five-layer pound cake from Ham and Goody’s. His decision was based on concern for the health of voters, he said. He left the auction early in order to spend some time knocking on doors and didn’t purchase a cake himself.

Gary Loe wasn’t bothered by the fact that the dessert he purchased, a chocolate cake donated by General Sessions Judge Geoff Emery, bore a Food City label. The judge has promised to get back to him with the recipe, Loe says. State Senate candidate Becky Duncan Massey, on the other hand, thinks cakes made from scratch are more meaningful. She made an Italian cream cake, which was snatched off the auction block by club treasurer Christy Gabriel. Massey’s opponent, Mar-

Ron Leadbetter, who was focused on his campaign for state Senate last year, was free to peruse the assortment of sweets at this year’s event. He had his eye on a chocolate raspberry layer cake baked by City Council candidate Ron Peabody. John Gabriel set his sights on the same dessert, and bidding was back and forth between the two until attorney Chad Tindell stole the prize with a $45 bid. (Tindell admitted later that

Site director Sally Baker, who has worked at the Crockett Tavern for 18 years, shows Jack Ferguson a trencher, the square wooden plate on which meals would have been served at the tavern. The plate’s square design is the basis for the phrase “a square meal.” Ferguson is a recent retiree who was spending a week hunting down Davy Crockett historical sites.

Actor Fess Parker, who played Davy Crockett in the famous “Disneyland” TV show episodes from 1954-55, made a stop at the old Princess Theatre in Morristown on May 29, 1955, to promote the theatrical version of the TV series.

The Crockett Tavern in Morristown is a replica of the original tavern in which Davy Crockett spent much of his childhood. The modern-day tavern was built as a Crockett museum in the mid-1950s. Photos by Jake Mabe

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe

In the footsteps of Davy Crockett Retiree spends week hunting historic sites

ORRISTOWN – One week removed from retirement, Jack Ferguson was free as a bird. Jack is a history buff. (He says he and his wife met at a Civil War reenactment.) And he likes to camp. So, when the Salem, Va., native shed the shackles of labor for good, his wife said, “Go follow Davy Crockett for a week.” And it was here I found him, camera dangling around his neck, talking to site director Sally Baker at the Crockett Tavern in Morristown. You gotta understand one thing up front. This is not the real tavern in which Crockett grew up. Sally, who has worked here for 18 years, was telling Jack that the original burned years ago, although it did serve as a field hospital during the Civil War. No one is even sure when Davy Crockett’s

parents, John and Rebecca, left the place. John is lost to history; Rebecca met her final days at Davy’s last home, in Rutherford, Tenn. But it sat just behind the present location of the tavern. When the city of Morristown had money left over from its centennial celebration in 1955, it was earmarked to reconstruct the tavern as a Crockett museum. The current incarnation of the Crockett Tavern opened in April 1958. John and Rebecca Crockett opened the tavern around 1792. It was located on the road that had been laid out from James White’s Fort in Knoxville to Abingdon, Va. Breakfast and supper cost 9 cents. Dinner was 10 cents. Lodging was 6 cents, as were a variety of spirits, corn and oats, and hay and fodder for one’s horse. “So you could stay here and

have your horse taken care of for about a quarter, which was a lot of money then,” Sally says. The tavern was a lifesaver for John Crockett, who’d been in debt for some time. “They were destitute when they arrived here,” Sally says. One of young Davy’s duties was to hunt and kill game for the dinner table. The museum is quite a bit larger than the original tavern is believed to have been. Sally says it was basically as big as the current tavern’s entrance room and that a ladder would have stretched upstairs to the lodgers’ loft. Women travelers would have been a rare sight in the late 1700s and early 1800s. But, if they were present, male lodgers would sleep on the floor. Hanging on the wall of the modern-day tavern is an autographed

ing out at it in the early morning sun, reveling in the shadows that stretch westward from each row. I study it in the moonlight from a window in my bedroom, the stars wheeling above it. That is usually when I start humming the English folk song quoted above. It is one I learned when I taught grade school music for two years in an inner city school in Knoxville. It was in the 3rd grade music book, and I am pretty sure that most of the children who sang it with me had never seen a hayfield, or a meadow, and, what’s more, wouldn’t be much impressed if they did. That simple song stuck with me, perhaps because of its gentle lilt (it is in 6/8 time, so it dances a bit), and because it is a “cumulative song,” like “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” You can keep adding to the number of men working in the song (“Three

men shall mow my meadow, four men shall gather it together. …”) as long as you want to go. But I think the reason I love it so, and sing it again whenever I see harvest taking place, is that the song acknowledges the worth of the land, the value of the farmer’s labor, the goodness of the “gold” that is being gathered together. It speaks of the camaraderie of shared effort, the value of work and sweat, and the gifts that the earth gives to us in exchange for our labor. The boundless grace of God never ceases to amaze me. Even though the Genesis story tells us that work is our punishment for that mess that took place in the Garden of Eden, I am grateful that God allows us to enjoy the beauty of this world, to understand the meaning of our work and to participate in the ongoing creation of God’s bounty.

Kelley comes to play | Sandra Clark

hat possesses a person to give up everything to follow a dream? Not sure? This question is easier. Why does the spouse hand over his business to a buddy and come along? Let’s call it love. Kelley McRae and Matt Castelein were in Knoxville this month. They played at the WDVX Blue Plate Special on a Friday and then spent Saturday evening playing at the Cove in Concord Park. It’s a Kelley McRae free concert sponsored by Knox County Parks and Recreation. Kelley, 31, and Matt, 34, are touring the country in a VW Camper Van named Proc Ne, Czech for “Why Not?” During an intermission, Matt said he’s singing backup only because “Kelley couldn’t afford to bring her band.” But hey, he’s really pretty good. The VW was parked nearby, decorated with posters for tour sponsor True Lemon, a natural citrus product crystallized for easy storage and used for water, teas and recipes. Matt operated a metal shop in Brooklyn, producing props for Broadway and off-Broadway shows. It’s a “turbulent business” that slows during the summer, he

said. So he felt OK to leave it with a friend. He left New York with ambivalence, not sure whether he and Kelley will return. “It’s fun to work hard at your own things,” he said. They’re headed for the West Coast and, hopefully, a solid music career for Kelley McRae. Before they left, a friend gave them a flip camera and they’re blogging their journey. A typical comment: (Holy crap, I’ve been living in a van for four months!) Kelley’s Knoxville connection is that her dad, John McRae, is the Dean of the College of Architecture at UT. Both parents were present at the Cove concert and her mom, Sharon, even requested a song: “Break Us (By the Power of your Grace).” Kelley said requests from her mom are not to be ignored. After two weeks in Kentucky and

players (including Jack Stroud) from the ’50 squad but the returnees knew the feeling of greatness, what it took to get there and what it would take to stay. Blocking and tackling were the basics. Think Jim Haslam and Pug Pearman. Neyland, borderline genius in psychology, told the players they should ignore preseason praise, throw away press clippings, and duck and run when fans tried to pat them on the back. As was his custom, he mentioned the maxims and probably went over them again if anybody yawned. The schedule was neatly arranged. Chattanooga was in front of Alabama and Tennessee Tech behind the Tide. Washington and Lee was the setup game before Ole Miss. Keep in mind that I, as a university freshman, saw the home games and the maxims in action. Mississippi State mistakes led to two Tennessee touchdowns in the first quarter. The next three were neareven. Blocking back Jimmy Hahn (Jacobs Trophy as best blocker in the SEC) explained that the General never wanted to run up the score. Duke shot itself in the foot. Duke fumbled. Duke didn’t pick up a kickoff. Duke fumbled again and lost two interceptions. Duke lost the game by four touchdowns.

Many missed Chattanooga and Tennessee Polytechnic Institute. I didn’t. As for not running up the score, TPI lost by 68. This reunion will undoubtedly concentrate on the victory over Alabama, how Gordon Polofsky knocked the ball loose and recovered, how Lauricella quick-kicked to the Tide 4, how ironic it was that Lauricella ran for 108 yards and passed for 108 yards. The 28-0 triumph at Kentucky is worth several replays. The Wildcats were good but this was the 16th consecutive year without a blue victory in what was supposed to be a border rivalry. It was the third consecutive shutout over All-American QB Babe Parilli. Coach Paul Bryant said darn. For some strange reason, Lexington was the mountaintop. The ’51 Vols gave up 251 passing yards and narrowly nipped Vanderbilt in Knoxville. The perfect year ended in an upset loss to Maryland in the Sugar Bowl. Ex-Vol Denver Crawford helped scheme the Terps’ decisive defense, an overload to the strong side. The game was not as close as 28-13 indicated. The Vols gained only 81 yards. They’ll do much better at the reunion. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

My Master’s Craft Creating discount custom furniture to benefit religious efforts By Natalie Lester When they started furniture shopping for a highend entertainment center last year, Karns residents Lexi and Tanner Rice never thought they would get to design the statement piece of their living room. “We had searched everywhere for what we wanted and kept coming up empty handed,” Tanner said. “Then we decided to have something made.” The couple never dreamed they would be able customize their furniture, nor did they expect to save between $1,500 and $2,000. However, that is exactly

what happened. They purchased the furniture though My Master’s Craft, a local one-man business that designs and builds furniture for a 5-to-10 percent discount of what customers would pay at designer stores. When making a sale, Rodney Osbourne asks his patrons to donate the money they saved to their church or a local charity. The Rices contributed the money they saved to friends who were adopting two children from Haiti. Osbourne said the cause doesn’t matter to him, as long as it is going to help other people. “At Christian stores, you pay twice as much as Walmart,” Osbourne said. “The profits go toward Christian causes, but the buyer doesn’t always know that.

Knoxville Zoo And eating ice cream with the turkeys … er, interns By Sara Barrett One of the best things about touring the Knoxville Zoo last week was the

complete indifference of the creatures we visited to the scorching heat surrounding them. Tina Rolen graciously took us through several animal habitats and reptile exhibits, and showed us cool places when the heat became too much. After stretching our legs

around the park, we kicked back at the snack stand near the beavers to have ice cream and soft drinks, right next to a pen of turkeys enjoying the afternoon shade. Many thanks to those at the zoo who made our day great … Patches, Lucy, Buttercup, Tallulah and the gang.

Giraffes and snakes and alligators … oh my! By Madeline Lonas What do you get when you combine a giraffe, a snake, an alligator and the Shopper-News interns? You get a hot, H-O-T summer day at the Knoxville Zoo! After arming us with water bottles, Tina Rolen led us to our first stop at the giraffe house. Everyone knows that a giraffe is tall, but just imagine standing beside one looking straight up. If you think a teenager’s mouth never stops moving, you should hang out with a giraffe. They are not talking, but eating, drinking and just moving their mouths. The pattern of a giraffe’s coat is called “reticulated.” No two giraffes have the same markings. We also found out it’s rough being a newborn giraffe calf. Their mothers give birth standing up. Imagine the sound of a 6-foot tall calf weighing 150 pounds dropping from

Intern Dalton Mullins thought it was funny when zoo keeper Brad Moxley (pictured) was discussing moving Buttercup the python. “I’m the one who always has to grab its head. It’s like I always draw the shortest straw.” Photo by S. Barrett

‘Money quotes’ Intern Jacob Mullins’ favorite quote came from the zoo’s executive director of marketing, Tina Rolen. “When people call in looking for a job at the zoo they say, ‘I’ll even scoop poop.’ Well, that is the job,” she said. Photo by Jenna Kalmon

Tallulah, the albino American alligator, basks on a rock. “Many people will ask if she’s fake, but she’s not,” said Brad Moxley, because of the reptile’s unusual appearance. Photo by Owen Sanders its mother. Zoo keeper Bill Garrison said it’s “like a wet bag of cement.” After visiting giraffes Lucy and Patches, Rolen took us to the other side of the zoo to meet Buttercup, the python currently on exhibit. Buttercup is 23 feet long and weighs 200 pounds. Like the giraffe, she also has reticulated markings. Finally, off to meet Tallulah, the albino American al-

ligator. Tallulah looked as if she was made out of plastic or even wax. Her eyes were my favorite color, pink. We were very lucky to see this reptile – being albino in the wild is very dangerous. There is no camouflage, so living in the zoo keeps her safe. Buttercup and Tallulah will be at the zoo through Labor Day. (With an assist from Tia Kalmon and S. Barrett)

‘Monkey-ing’ around By Elizabeth Longmire After seeing Buttercup and Tallulah, the interns headed to other popular sights in the zoo, including the petting zoo, turtle and bird exhibits, and the nocturnal animal center. Tina Rolen explained that the Knoxville Zoo has more than 800 animal residents. What an interesting experience we had. Most people wouldn’t

have had the opportunity to hang out with the giraffes or be up close and personal with the largest snake in captivity. Though the day was scorching hot and we interns were swimming in sweat, (gross, I know) it turned out to be a day filled with exploration and “monkey-ing” around. (With an assist from Tia Kalmon and S. Barrett)

I learned a lot about animals that I have not heard of before.” Tyler Alexis Beard: “When giraffes are born they are about 6 feet tall and weigh 150 pounds,” Bill Garrison said. Madison Noe: “When baby giraffes are born they fall out like wet cement,” Bill Garrison said. Dalton Mullins: “I’m the one who always has to grab its head.

A Better Life

for just

King College is adding two new bachelor’s degrees to the program offered at the Knox County campus, 10950 Spring Bluff Way across Hardin Valley Road from Pellissippi State Community College. Degrees in communications and psychology were introduced last Thursday at an open house. Both will be offered this fall with classes starting Monday, Aug. 29. Micah Crews, associate vice president of enrollment management, said the college’s Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) program is an excellent way for those with an associate degree to transition to a bachelor’s degree. “Wherever you are, we’ll meet you there,” is more than a slogan, Crews said. “Time and access are often barriers for students to finish their degrees. By offering classes in convenient locations, one

night per week, the working adult may obtain a degree in as little as 16 months and open the door for professional advancement.” Mona Salyer, director of recruitment for the GPS program, said King is making it easier for working adults to obtain their degree. Crews is himself a graduate of King College (Class of ’98). “I wanted a place where I could be taught and treated as an individual, not a number,” he said. The Atlanta native felt at home on the Bristol campus of King College where he studied “oneon-one with highly intelligent men and women.” And when he got the chance to come back as an employee, Crews “jumped at the opportunity.” He sees his role as eliminating barriers to education, whether geographic or academic. “We realized we had students driving from Blount County to Sullivan County (for the bachelor’s program in nursing). We worked with Roane State and Pellissippi to reach out to their students.” The Hardin Valley site

opened last year. A full-time student support specialist is based here, along with fulltime faculty and a librarian. Students take one class at a time, meeting one night a week for five weeks. Each semester includes three classes. “It’s an accelerated pace but students are not taxed too much,” Crews said. Bachelor’s degrees in business and nursing are currently offered at the Hardin Valley site, along with a master’s degree in business. Crews said the addition of communications and psychology was student-driven. A master’s in nursing will be offered here as well. King offers three online degree programs: a bachelor’s of information technology, a bachelor’s in business and a master’s in business. “We’re a resource for local business,” he said. “One of the key reasons we’re here is to provide education that develops the workforce to aid economic development. King College was founded in Bristol in 1867. The college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Info: 800362-0014 or www.king.edu/.

statewide – and the only student from East Tennessee – to receive a Tennessee Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities (TAHRA) scholarship. Each year, TAHRA awards seven scholarships statewide to residents in good standing in public housing or Section 8 housing. I understand that the competiHoldren tion for this scholarship is intense, and earning the award is no small feat. The scholarship provides $2,500 annually as long as the recipient maintains his or her grades. Considering Taylor’s work ethic, I have every confidence that she will maintain her grades and keep the scholarship. Taylor graduated third in her class of 240 with a GPA of 3.8. Even more impressive, she did so while participating in many extracurricular activities. She was yearbook editor, a varsity cheerleader and a member of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). She was inducted into the National Honor Society and honored as a News Sentinel Academic Achiever. Terreka Holloway-Smith, college access coordinator for Project GRAD Knoxville, says that Taylor was one of the easiest students she ever had the pleasure of working with. Speaking of her prized pupil, Holloway said, “She stays on top of it. She has a twin brother who is also very bright, and she helped me keep after him, too.” Taylor will go to UT Knoxville, where she plans to major in psychology. My KCDC colleagues and I are very proud of Taylor and her dedication that led to this award. We wish her the best in her future academic endeavors.

Alive After Five series will host Carib Sounds Steel Band

Tuggle keeps city shoes shiny

6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 22, at the museum. The Carib Sounds Steel Band will bring island steel drum music, with Calypso, Soca and Reggae rhythms to Knoxville. The musical arranger and director is Vere Henry from the Caribbean island of Antigua. He and fellow bandmember Esmond Edwards, another native Antiguan, introduced steel drums to East Tennessee in 1982 when they played with The Gemonites Steel Orchestra and entertained millions at the World’s Fair in Knoxville. The Alive After Five concert series is a family-friendly, casually elegant, nonsmoking event. Cash bars and food are available. Parking is free. General admission is $9, $5 with membership or student ID, free for ages 17 and under.

By Wendy Smith Bill Tuggle has spent his entire career helping people dress well. But now his sole interest is shoes. He established Knoxville Shoe Shine Company in the First Tennessee Plaza in May of 2010. Since then, he has built up a clientele of both male and female bankers, attorneys, judges and anyone else who needs polish. “I see a pretty good cross section of people,” he says. Tuggle grew up in Knoxville but spent much of his career in Atlanta and Nashville working as a marketing representative for a children’s clothing manufacturer. After

Tuggle has buffed the boots of some of the city’s most prominent characters. City Mayor Dan Brown, UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and former UT football coach Johnny Majors have all been customers. 35 years, the industry changed as production jobs moved overseas, so Tuggle came home to work at Brooks Brothers. When the store closed in 2009, it didn’t take him long to come up with a new venture. He spent a few weeks scoping out downtown business attire before hanging out his shingle. A relative built his shoeshine chair and installed the brass shoe stands Tuggle found in a Boston antique store. His hours are 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. most business days, a schedule that leaves plenty of time for relaxing. “If I had to make a living of it, it would be almost impossible,” he says. “But it gets me out of the house, gives me something to do and provides a little income.” Some patrons choose to sit in the chair, but others drop off shoes and pick them up later. He charges $6 to polish each pair, except for two-tone shoes, like golf shoes, which run a bit more. Tuggle also offers repair service through Pendergrass Family Shoe Repair on Bearden Hill. In addition to the monetary reward of his trade, Tuggle has the opportunity to chat with many of Knoxville’s movers and shakers. He hears interesting tales from the courtroom and the boardroom, and has buffed the boots of some of the city’s

City Mayor Dan Brown, UT Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and former UT football coach Johnny Majors have all been customers. Tuggle spends hours each week watching business people come and go, and says there is a definite movement toward casual attire. Bankers are generally welldressed, he says, but even some attorneys save their suits for court dates. He’s not really in favor of the trend. “I’m from the old school. I always like

to see people dressed for the occasion.” He recently helped out friends Seth and Lisa Simmerman by serving as maitre d’ at their restaurant, Echo Bistro and Wine Bar in Bearden, and was surprised by the casual attire of the customers. “People don’t even dress to go out to eat,” he says. But he doesn’t mind, since, as far as he knows, he’s got a corner on his market. “I think I have the only shoeshine stand in Knoxville.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Thyroid cancer surprises Huntsville woman It was a complete surprise to her, but Claudette Smith of Huntsville, Tenn., learned she had a small lump in her thyroid gland when she went to her physician for a routine checkup this spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My doctor said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I believe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get that checked out,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Smith remembers. A normal thyroid is a butterďŹ&#x201A;y-shaped gland under the skin at the base of the neck, about the size of a quarter. But sometimes the thyroid enlarges and can develop small lumps called nodules. These are very common, occurring in about 70 percent of people Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age, 68.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made me feel like I was special.â&#x20AC;? While only about 5 percent of the nodules turn out to be cancerous, Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nodule turned out to be thyroid cancer. She traveled to Knoxville to see Dr. Kevin Zirkle, an endocrine surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, who removed her entire thyroid gland June 17. The scar, Smith says, is fairly high on her neck and not that noticeable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about 70 years old, so I have some wrinkles,â&#x20AC;? says Smith with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Dr. Zirkle, and especially his assistant, LeAnne. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one who makes me feel so comfortable. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always on top of everything. It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been any easier,â&#x20AC;? explains Smith. Smith says she would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone facing surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were absolutely wonderful to me from the time I went in, very professional and personable,â&#x20AC;? she smiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made sure I understood the procedure and what would happen to me. It was very reassuring to me.â&#x20AC;? One nurse assured Smith she would be right beside her throughout the procedure. Another brought her a rose as she checked out the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made me feel like I was special,â&#x20AC;? Smith says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they do that with Claudette Smith, pictured with her husband all the patients. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for Robert of 46 years, traveled from Huntsville, better. I want to extend my thanks to the Tennessee to have thyroid surgery performed staff there and explain how good they were at Fort Sanders Regional in Knoxville. to me. They were very professional and all that, but they made me feel like I was a part Zirkle said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hide it in those wrinkles.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the family.â&#x20AC;? I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care, but I thought that was After she heals, Smith will begin a followcute.â&#x20AC;? up treatment that has a high success rate While she awaits further treatment, and few side effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so very blessed,â&#x20AC;? she says. Smith reďŹ&#x201A;ects on her time at Fort Sanders.

A small gland with a big impact on your health As small as a quarter and the shape of a butterďŹ&#x201A;y, the thyroid gland is a small part of the body that makes a big impact on overall health, according to Dr. Kevin Zirkle, an endocrine surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thyroid is basically your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thermostat. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to turn your thermostat up too high, which is hyperthyroidism, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to turn it down too low, which is hypothyroidism.â&#x20AC;? The thyroid regulates metabolism by secretDr. P. Kevin Zirkle, ing hormones into the Endocrine Surgeon blood stream. People with too much of these hormones tend to feel jumpy, have a racing heartbeat and can start to lose weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I go into the room with patients who have hyperthyroidism, I start to get nervous. You can just feel it,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Zirkle says with a laugh. On the other hand, when the thyroid underperforms, people feel sluggish, tired and depressed. Most thyroid imbalances can be treated with medications, but there are times when surgery is necessary, Dr. Zirkle explains. Both types of thyroid problems are more common in women than men. Thyroid problems can often be resolved with medication. But if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, there are surgical options. Removing part or all of the gland will resolve hyperthyroidism that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to medicine, although the patient must take medication to replace the lost hormones for the rest of his or her life. A second reason for surgery is if the thyroid becomes enlarged, it forms a large lump at the front of the neck, commonly

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among women over 50, half will have a thyroid nodule. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very common.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. P. Kevin Zirkle, Surgeon called a goiter. Besides being unsightly, a goiter can push on the esophagus, making it difďŹ cult to swallow or breathe. And ďŹ nally, the third main reason for surgery is when thyroid glands develop small lumps called nodules. In rare cases these are cancerous, and in most cases the entire gland is removed. Most of these nodules have no symptoms, Dr. Zirkle says, but are found during routine imaging tests like MRI scans for back or neck problems. The older a person gets, the more common thyroid nodules become.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among woman over 50, half will have a thyroid nodule. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very common,â&#x20AC;? states Dr. Zirkle. After removing a thyroid, most cancer patients will undergo a followup treatment of swallowing radioactive iodine pills or ďŹ&#x201A;uid about three to six weeks after surgery. Iodine is taken up by the thyroid cells, but not other cells in the body. This radioactive material can be detected on an imaging scan so that physicians can see where it has spread, and the radioactivity also kills the remaining cancer cells. This treatment has few side effects and is generally very successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good news is, thyroid surgery is pretty safe, and the chance of complication is less than 1 percent,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Zirkle says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very few people die of thyroid cancer.â&#x20AC;?

Jacob Woycik and Brian Bergeron enjoy a day of tubing in the beautiful waters of Norris Lake. Photos by K. Woycik

Help keep our lakes clean Unfortunately, that weekend, it wasn’t so clean. We were amazed at how much litter we found floating in the water. It is very important to keep trash and debris out of the lake. Not only can it be a hazard to the passenKathryn gers playing in the water on Woycik tubes or skiing, but it can cause damage to your boat. And in time, our beautiful Norris Lake has a lot to lake won’t be so beautiful. Did you know that it takes offer.

Young-Williams Animal Center team member Melissa enjoys a few moments with Desmond, a 6-month-old male Labrador retriever mix. Labs are often water lovers, and although Desmond has not been exposed to water features larger than a wading pool, he has taken some interest in it. Desmond is a playful, handsome boy who will add a little spice and delight to any family. He is available for adoption at the main center at 3201 Division St. Hours there are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The hours at Young-Williams Animal Village, 6400 Kingston Pike, are noon to 6 p.m. daily. See all of the center’s adoptable animals at www.knoxpets.org.

We have spent many weekends tubing and skiing on Norris Lake. Being one of the cleanest lakes in the area, our family has grown to love and enjoy spending time there on our boat.
