Vote today to rezone Lunsford land By Sandra Clark Knox County Commission will vote today (July 25) on a request from William Lunsford to amend the North County Sector Plan and rezone land at the corner of Maynardville Pike and Foley Drive from low density residential to commercial. Zoning matters start at 6 p.m. Metropolitan Planning Commission recommended approval. This zoning has been controversial since Lunsford bought the land and opened Bud’s Mulch. Murphy Hills residents protested the huge, steaming mulch

piles at the entrance to their subdivision, and they learned that only the front portion of Lunsford’s land was zoned for commercial use. Lunsford resisted efforts by Codes to enforce the zoning. He ultimately fenced off the land and installed several swine, inviting the neighbors for a barbecue to try to work things out. Lunsford landed in Chancellor Daryl Fansler’s courtroom where he was threatened with jail. He says now, at 72, he just wants to get his affairs in order. The neighbors must agree. No one spoke against Lunsford at the MPC.

Beer at Cancun’s

Detention basin fails, devastates family downhill By Betty Bean At 4 a.m. on June 24, Gary and Marsha Carter were asleep in their home on the dead end of Dawson Hollow Road. They have 27 acres of wooded land halfway up Copper Ridge that they bought in 1993 because it made them feel like they were living in the Smokies. But they’d never heard a noise like the sound that awakened them that morning. Gary got out of bed and was startled yet again. “I remember putting my feet on the floor and I was in a creek. I saw sticks floating. I closed the kitchen door to stop the water coming in and I ran downstairs to open the basement door to let the water out. I was trying to save anything I could.” When daylight came, the Carters learned that a detention pond on a construction site owned by Rufus Smith Development at the top of the ridge had collapsed, sending a slimy tsunami surging downhill, sweeping up old tires and abandoned hot tubs and assorted trash from a garbage dump along the way. It slammed into the Carters’ home, taking out a fence row, a stand of bamboo, a doghouse and a new Troy-Bilt lawn tractor. The torrent blew open the kitchen door, took out the electricity, destroyed the air conditioning unit and coated the interior with mud. A month later, the property reeks of mildew and mold. A sodden oriental rug is stretched out on the asphalt driveway and the lawn tractor is entangled in a pile of trash in the backyard just below a mangled fiberglass hot tub. Another battered hot tub sits upended near the private road below the house. Downhill, a neighbor’s formerly-pristine spring-fed lake is fouled with trash and muddy water. Gary Carter, an industrial/commercial painter, and Marsha Carter, a registered nurse, say they are staying in the house because they can’t abandon their pets and they have nowhere else to go. Their homeowner’s insurance company refuses to pay for the damage because they don’t have flood insurance. The insurance company representing Southland Excavation (which shares a 4909 Ball Road

Gary Carter digs through debris that slammed into his home when a detention pond collapsed uphill from his property. Photo by Ruth White The detention pond at the Childress Road subdivision construction site atop Copper Ridge caught the eye of Knox County stormwater inspector Derek Keck 18 days before it collapsed, causing catastrophic damage to neighbors down the hill. Keck visited the Rufus Smith Properties-owned site June 6 and issued a Notice of Violation, citing problems with Southland Excavation’s erosion and sediment control. He mentioned numerous erosion control issues and also said, “There are several areas where rills and gullies are forming due to lack of stabilization or inadequate stabilization. This includes a large channel that has eroded and deposited a large amount of sediment into detention basin #1.”

On June 8, county stormwater manager Chris Granju sent a letter to the Southland Group, which shares a Ball Road address with Rufus Smith Development and Smithbilt Homes, setting a June 22 deadline. On June 22, Southland Group engineer Wanis Rghebi asked for more time, pleading that Southland had pressing work elsewhere. On June 24, the detention pond collapsed, unleashing a wall of muddy water down Copper Ridge. County inspectors who conducted a followup inspection July 13 found that some of the erosion control problems still had still not been addressed.

Madson settles in at Halls library Looking back on it, Andy Madson says it’s a wonder it took him as long as it did to become a professional librarian. He always loved books. And growing up in a small,

The Fountain City Lions Club hosted new 12N District Gov. Chuck Bailey who installed new officers during the club’s meeting last week. At the installation are vice president Ben Easterday; secretary Tom Dunne; Bailey; membership chair and past president Bob Davis; Lion tamer Preston Ryan; chaplain Lon McNeil; president Dick McMillan; tail twister Cecil Campbell; directors Ray Hayes, John Heatherly and Roy Hembree; and treasurer Joe McCampbell. Photos by Jake Mabe Halls High cheerleaders Caroline White, Kari Summers, Jenna Phillips, Kelsey Haga and Hana Shea Lewis thanked the Halls B&P for a $500 donation during its meeting at Beaver Brook last week. The squad is currently seeking donations and raising funds to attend a national tournament in Orlando, Fla.

Jake Mabe Andy Madson rural town in southern Minnesota, Andy used the library as a place to connect to and learn about the world. “If I wasn’t on the ball field, I was in the library,” Andy says. Andy became the new branch manager at the Halls library in May. He says it’s just another chapter in a story that began back in Minnesota. He kept hanging out in libraries up through college and then got a job working as a library assistant while attending graduate school at the University of Washington. Then he got a series of jobs working at libraries in Washington, D.C., and at Emory University while his wife, Amanda, completed seminary. When the couple moved to Knoxville, Andy went to work in interlibrary loan at UT’s Hodges Library. While there, he decided to take the plunge and earn a master’s degree in information science. His first professional library job was at the Sevier County Public Library,

where he worked first as the reference and business services coordinator and later as the manager of the system’s history center. After three years there, he applied for the Halls job and has been on board since May 23. “It’s been really good,” Andy says. “I like the staff here. They know what they’re doing. It’s a beautiful library and we’ve got a great collection. And the community has been great. I’ve really enjoyed people coming up wanting to meet me and introduce themselves. I couldn’t be happier. And it’s 20 minutes closer to where I live!” The Madsons regularly used the Carter Branch Library while Amanda served as pastor of Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church. She was recently reassigned to Sand Branch United Methodist Church about the time Andy came on board at Halls. “So we’ve been settling into a new house and new jobs. It’s been crazy!” Andy says he’s still getting used to the library

system’s organizational culture, but he would like for the Halls Branch to host various events for the community and “provide services for different groups.” Early on, he learned that he’s only the fourth branch manager in Halls history, following Myrtle Weaver, the late Geneva Smith and the late Sally Dill. “That’s kind of heavy,” he says, smiling. “But I’m going to try to do my best and learn a little bit more every day.” For hours and other info about the Halls Branch Library, call 922-2552. ■

Fountain City Lions Club elects new officers

“Several of you folks must have a short memory,” joked new Fountain City Lions Club president Dick McMillan after the installation of new officers last Monday. “I was elected president in 1999. You have forgotten a lot of things!”

District 12N Gov. Chuck Bailey, who had been on the job for a week, said it was his first opportunity to install new officers. McMillan saluted outgoing club president Bob Davis, who he said, “did a wonderful job,” and Lucille Campbell presented her traditional president’s scrapbook to Davis at the end of the meeting. The Fountain City Lions Club meets at 6 p.m. the first and third Mondays of the month at the Lions Club Building at Fountain City Park. ■

Cross Roads Presbyterian is growing

Cross Roads Presbyterian Church pastor Robert Cook joked at the Halls B&P meeting at Beaver Brook last week that his Scottish accent is “spoken from the tongues of the angels in heaven” and that he was giving folks a preview so they’d recognize it “when you get to heaven.”

Cook says the church, which sits at the corner of Emory Road and Maynardville Highway in Halls, is starting to grow and is in the early stages of a building program. He says the Halls Food Pantry is housed The Rev. Cook there and that, “We’re just a little church that’s trying to serve the community.” Cook delivered the invocation prior to last Tuesday’s meeting. ■

Tightening our belts

Elizabeth Shorter: artist, giver Elizabeth Wilson Shorter was laid to rest with services July 18 at Weaver Funeral Home, led by the Rev. John Holland.

Elizabeth and Mike enjoy a parade. File photo Mike and Elizabeth Shorter met in the 6th grade, Holland said. “They loved each other from the start and that love grew and developed.” The Shorters were married 42 years ago: July 1969. Their marriage produced two children: Mark and Aimee, and a grandson, Jordan. Mike Shorter was the popular store manager of Halls Kroger for many years until his promotion

to regional fuel manager for Kroger. Mike was president of the Halls Business and Professional Association and was honored as Halls Man of the Year. He especially supported the Halls High School band, sponsoring an annual car show in the Kroger parking lot and allowing the band to march through the store. Through all of Mike’s community leadership, Elizabeth stood by his side. Holland said they grew to mirror each other and “both were givers.” Elizabeth was a Certified Decorative Artist and a member of Rocky Top Decorative Painters. Her original paintings were displayed at the funeral parlor. Mike said she had never wanted an exhibition, but he decided the artwork should be viewed. The paintings portrayed landscapes and buildings naturally. Holland called

Detention basin fails, devastates family downhill From page A-1 address with Rufus Smith and Smithbilt Homes) has, to date, offered them $56,000 minus $12,000 depreciation, a sum that Gary Carter says is less than half the value of his home. This is the second time he’s been damaged by runoff from the Smith development and he worries that it will happen again. “It flooded last July,” he said. “Mud and real fine red silt came down, right up to my back door. The yard, both sides of the garage, the driveway and the gravel road were just pure mud. They cleaned it up. They came in with a dump truck and a Bobcat

and put down ‘crush and run gravel’ and paid me $5,000 for the damage. I don’t think there was a pond up there at the time. It just came off the side of the mountain. “They built the pond in August of last year, and it started filling up with silt and mud for about 11 months and then it blew out. Clearly, I’m still in the line of fire. They fixed that catch pond the day after it happened, but the debris in the dump is all loosened up and getting ready for the next rain. And this is where we are.” Smithbilt chief Rocky Smith, a member of the Hillside and Ridgetop Protec-

tion Taskforce who later became a vocal opponent of the measure, was not available for comment, but director of development Joe Madron said the Carters’ plight is nobody’s fault. “We try to do everything by the rules and regulations. What happens in a subdivision is you’re required to keep the detention ponds plugged up until the project is substantially complete. You can do everything right and still have an act of nature. We were doing everything we could do, and it still spills over the top. I really wouldn’t call it anybody’s

fault, and we’re doing everything we can, making sure everybody is taken care of.” Claude Yow, whose name is on the deed of the property where the dumpsite is located, said he is not responsible for any of the debris washed down into the Carters’ yard. “Only thing I’m involved with was the girl that had the property went into foreclosure. I bought it back out of foreclosure, then gave it back to her. She put the hot tubs up there to slow the water down,” Yow said. Gary Carter said he hasn’t heard from Smith or Yow since the detention pond disaster.

“Tightening our belts” was the theme of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s talk to the Halls Business and Professional Association at Beaver Brook last week. Burchett says the county’s general budget just passed 9-2 by County Commission is $149 million, down from $152 million last year. (This does not include the school system’s budget.) He says $20 million is going this year to debt retirement. “It’s not sexy, it doesn’t make headlines, but it’s what we need to do,” he said. “Since 2004, our debt has doubled.” The county debt is roughly $600 million (roughly $300 million of which is school debt) and the county pays about $35 million a year in interest. “We need to start paying down the debt now so that when the economy rebounds, Knox County will be in a good position to take care of it.” He said this year’s budget reflects a reduction in community grants given in previous years to various organizations and nonprofits, often as “a check with nothing tied to it.” “It’s not my philosophy (for the county government) to go to charities and give it out. The only way I have those dollars is because there’s a surplus and that means you taxpayers

are overtaxed,” adding that future funding to nonprofits would become a contractual agreement. Burchett says that the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan, passed by voters in 2006, should be put back on the ballot because in its current form it could be “devastating to county government,” pointing to budget crises in Detroit and in California. He says for every $1 spent in salary, 15 cents goes toward a pension and 15 cents goes toward a pension bond. “It’s become too rich, too much to too many people. There are lawyers and court officers on it. We’re gonna have to put it back on the ballot, not to take it away from those who currently have it, but for future generations.” Raises were not given to county employees this year, who instead received an additional week of vacation. Burchett said his plan to build a new Carter Elementary School for $13.8 million by selling off countyowned property, which is pending approval by the school board, would avoid new debt because, “I want to pay for it in cash. “I just think it’s the appropriate time. I’m afraid the (proposed) $2.5 million in renovations won’t touch the edges. They’ve been promised it and we own the property (for the new school).”

government Rogero donor list ‘impressive’ If choosing between the Mark Padgett donor list and the Madeline Rogero donor list based on which one makes it more likely he/she will win the mayor’s race, the Rogero list is preferable because it is far more broad based and reflects significantly greater grassroots support across the city. It is still $100,000 short of the Padgett list. But for every donor to Padgett, Rogero has six donors at a much smaller level who are totally committed to their candidate. It is an impressive and fascinating list. More than $40,000 on the Padgett list is for use in the general election and legally cannot be spent in the primary. Also, it is unclear how Padgett will use his financial advantage to undercut Rogero while strengthening his own cause. Will he go negative on Rogero with an atVictor tack piece? Will he Ashe take a public stand on several city issues and challenge Rogero to do the same? Will it go into direct mail, television or radio, and when will it start? Early voting starts Sept. 7, just six weeks and two days away. All the major mayoral candidates responded to the Metro Pulse request to release their federal tax returns. Rogero had the most income in 2010 with Harmon second. It will be interesting to see if Metro Pulse asks the same question of county officials at some point. Senate vacancy: Do not be surprised if Sue Atchley, wife of former state Sen. Ben Atchley, is chosen to be the interim state senator by Knox County Commission. The mother of two, Sue has been the mainstay of Ben Atchley’s political career. She is a lively, energetic, fun loving, livewire lady who has earned this honor if commission bestows it on her. She will be only the third woman to represent Knox County in the state Senate in history since my mother, Martha Ashe, was elected in 1974 as the first woman from our county in the state Senate and the first Republican woman in the entire state of Tennessee to serve. She ran on the slogan of “Vote for Martha to Elect Victor” as I had been disqualified from the ballot by the state Supreme Court on the age issue of not being 30 on the day of the election in 1974. The next state senator to be elected in the fall will undoubtedly be a woman as well, making her the fourth woman to serve our county in the Senate should Atchley prevail at County Commission. Seat C on Council: The Finbarr Saunders-Ron Peabody contest for the open City Council seat was shaping up as a real doozey over the Ten Year Homeless Plan, but it may turn out to be a sleeper with Saunders the easy winner. First, Peabody endorsed Ivan Harmon for mayor, irritating Rogero and Padgett voters. Then his financial disclosure shows he has failed to raise any significant donations and now it is revealed by Metro Pulse that he took bankruptcy last January. This all occurred without Saunders saying a word. However, given Saunders’ upset loss to Jeff Ownby last year, one suspects he will not take this contest for granted even with the weaknesses in the Peabody candidacy. He is discovering a citywide contest is far different from a county district contest. Ivan Harmon had a well attended fundraiser at Calhoun’s on the River last week which Democrat Mike Chase co-hosted. Joining Chase on the host committee were former Vice Mayor Jack Sharp, banker Dale Keasling, Sheriff J.J. Jones and former Democratic County Commissioner Mark Cawood. Attending were former Council colleagues Jean Teague and Gary Underwood.

City Council candidate combats rumor mill by coming clean Like many first-time candidates, when Paul Berney decided to run for City Council (Seat A, at-large), he wondered what might be used against him. He took to heart a warning that in every race there’s a secret rumor campaign.

Betty Bean Now he’s been in it awhile, and he thinks he knows what his is: his cousin Stacey. “My mom went to a Democratic Women’s group wearing my campaign button. She sat down and someone said ‘I hear he’s Stacey Campfield’s cousin.’ “There was also the fellow who asked me about it at the Boyd Cloud (Democratic) Club. It took him a long time to finally come out with that. I said ‘You know, I heard that rumor, too.’ Everybody has a strange uncle or a cousin who’s just a little

bit different. And mine is my cousin Stacey.” Berney, an architectural consultant, native Knoxvillian and member of the Church of the Savior, describes himself as moderate to progressive. He’s very interested in issues of sustainability and once tried to find common ground with Campfield, a devout Catholic, over the issue of mountaintop removal coal mining, which Berney considers a matter of creation care – being a good steward of God’s world. Did it work? Not really, Berney said. Campfield is a transplanted New Yorker and a ferocious campaigner who moved to Tennessee, got himself elected to the General Assembly and became the most famously rightwing state senator in a legislative body dominated by ultra-conservatives. He specializes in filing attention-getting legislation like the so-called “Don’t Say

Paul Berney Photo by B. Bean Gay” bill and a constellation of measures expanding the rights of citizens to tote firearms into schools, parks, saloons and anywhere else he can think of. His bills seldom pass, but he seems to enjoy being ridiculed by the likes of Jon Stewart, which drives Cousin Paul a little crazy. “As a Southerner, I get tired of the stereotypes, and I’ve thought about calling Stewart’s show and telling them that Stacey is from their state, not my state.”

Audits, audits everywhere We’ve had a lot of mail asking what’s going on with the audits in Knox County. For the answer to that and other questions we turned to Mr. Answer Man. Q: I’ve been hearing about several pending audits, Mr. Answer Man. Can you fill me in? A: Commissioner Jeff Ownby has requested “forensic” audits of the Public Building Authority and the Hardin Valley Academy construction project. “Forensic” pertains to findings suitable for use in a court of law. The word is derived from Latin and means “Herb Moncier yelling at a judge.” Besides the City County Building, the PBA’s reach extends to schools and parking lots, so the first order of business for a forensic auditor will be to find it. This may not be easy. PBA often travels under an assumed name and is known to don a false beard. Q: PBA sounds like a tough customer. Isn’t Commissioner Ownby afraid that PBA may request a forensic audit of him? A: Ownby assures us that he has nothing to hide and

nothing to fear but fear itself and Madeline Rogero’s support for the Ten Year Plan. Q: Because I have no life, I just read Knox County’s 2010 Consolidated Annual Financial Report. On page 8 I read that the county’s capital assets are “not available for future spending” because the assets “provide services to citizens.” Doesn’t this put a crimp in Mayor Burchett’s plans for Carter Elementary School? A: Not really. Assets that do not “provide services” and are free of related debt may be sold. Mr. Answer Man conducted a forensic audit of the county’s assets to come up with a list of qualifying items and found these: three gas-powered refrigerators, a subscription to “National Geographic,” four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves and Property

Assessor Phil Ballard. These should provide the mayor a modest start. Q: I see that County Commission wants the mayor to investigate installing emergency sirens to warn of severe weather. I live in the city. Will I be able to hear the sirens? A: Oh, sorry. Mayor Burchett is a stickler for limiting county funds to county purposes. If the sirens are installed, a siren sound barrier will be erected between the city limits and the county. The mayor assures us he can sell enough assets to meet the estimated $5 billion cost for the barrier. Q: Hello, Mr. Answer Man! I’m really worried about the national debt ceiling. Republicans and Democrats just can’t get together. Any ideas? A: Very timely question. If President Obama would take his cue from our county mayor we could solve this thing. Start by selling off the U.S. Congress and Senate. Both should fetch a decent price from collectors of selfrighteous pandering. Contact: lvgknox@mindspring.com.

teer Academy in Knoxville Center mall. Katherine Banner, previously an assistant principal at Austin-East High School is the new principal at West High School. Diana Gossett is the principal at Ridgedale Elementary School.

Berney and Campfield are part of a brood of 22 first cousins, 18 of whom are girls. That left the two boys, who are close together in age, pretty much to their own devices, and they spent big chunks of their summers together. Berney remembers Stacey as a skinny redheaded kid who liked to suck his belly in and do something he called a skeleton dance. They were partners in the paddleboat races at Big Ridge, and Berney says Campfield’s competitive nature was already quite striking. “He’d spend all week looking for the best and the fastest paddleboat. He’d look for one that sat low in the water and was easy to maneuver. And we always won.” He says that Campfield has helped him out some with advice about campaign tactics – “Door knock, door knock, door knock.” “We get along great as long as we don’t talk about politics. I love Stacey. I really do. Mama says I have to.”

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Green Collar Jobs: Mark Padgett surely didn’t invent this term, but it’s a good one and it’s his goal as mayor. “It’s never been more important who our next mayor is,” he said in an interview with Shopper-News editors. ■ “Not from me,” he said when asked if he plans to “go negative” on Madeline Rogero. In fact, Padgett says his polling shows a neckand-neck race with many undecideds. He won’t concede that she’s ahead. ■ Rogero, meanwhile, spent last week talking with folks who actually vote in city elections. ■ Tim Burchett is inching closer to a win in the game of “chicken” that is the Carter Elementary School project. After false starts with “lease to own” and IDB bond funding for the new school, Burchett hit upon paying cash. There’s absolutely no justification for the school board to turn down a free school. ■ Grab your ass-ets as Burchett looks for stuff to liquidate. ■ R.I.P. books: As Knox County Schools dips into its fund balance for $2.94 million for math textbooks, let us hope this marks the final book buy. Textbooks are a rip-off and these are costing more than $50 each if the system is buying one for every student. Get those kids an iPad and move on! ■ Cluck! Just when you thought County Commission was becoming dull, Richard Briggs wants to legalize roosting hens in subdivisions. That’s “roosting,” not “roasting,” and it’s sure to draw a squawk.

Jamie Woodson followed Ben Atchley in the state Senate and together they represented District 6 for 35 years. Both achieved power in Nashville: Atchley as longtime GOP leader and Woodson as Speaker Pro Tempore. And since the senator from District 7 is known more for his antics than for his legislation, our new senator has huge responsibilities.

Sandra Clark State Senate candidates Becky Duncan Massey, Marilyn Roddy and Victoria DeFreese at a recent meeting in Halls. File photo by Jake Mabe Running are three strong women. Wow! Women are moving toward parity in Nashville after obtaining the right to vote just 91 years ago. That’s a great trend. A not-so-great trend is the seismic slide of the Republican Party toward the political right. You can see it in the candidates’ literature. “Victoria DeFreese is the right person, at the right time, for the right reason.” (italics added). And how about: “Marilyn Roddy.

True. Conservative. Leader. Right values: pro-life and will create a culture that respects all life. Defend our 2nd Amendment rights.” (italics added) Becky Duncan Massey probably would be doing it too if she had her brochure printed. Massey and Roddy cannot out-right DeFreese no matter how they might try. She’s got the tea party and the true believers on social issues. Roddy said last week, “You can’t carry a message

with authenticity if it’s not who you are.” Sadly, some of her votes on City Council make her vulnerable in a Republican primary in a district where most voters live outside the city. Massey said she’s pleased with her start (raising $78,525 in just seven weeks) and pledged to represent “conservative values and to focus on constituent service.” Geography: Roddy and Massey live in West Knoxville and DeFreese lives South. Just 19 percent of the vote is South of the River, giving DeFreese a limited base. Assuming Roddy and Massey split the West vote, which is likely, the winner will be the one who can corral Halls and East Knox County voters. Urban/Rural: Just 32 percent of district voters live inside the city of Knoxville, and they have seen Roddy on the ballot twice. The others have never been on a ballot at all, but

Massey’s dad, brother and nephew (John Duncan Sr., Jr. and III) have run plenty of times, winning every race. Roddy would run better in a more urban district since city government is her expertise. Turnout: Here’s the kicker. With 128,760 registered voters currently in District 6, just 17,745 ballots were cast in 2004 when Woodson pounded Billy Stokes. And that was a regularly scheduled election. Sept. 27 is a special election coupled with a city election in just one-third of the Senate district. The Sept. 27 primary winner could easily serve 15 or 20 years, making crucial votes on taxes, education, public health, economic development, roads and support for UT. This race is way too important to be decided on who promises the most guns in public places or the fewest legal rights for anybody who deviates from the norm.

More stuff … CROSS CURRENTS | Eden Badgett And why do you worry about stuff? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. (Matthew 6:28-29 NIV, adapted) (Author’s Note from Lynn Hutton: Once when she was in college, my daughter Jordan wrote a guest column in this space. Today is her sister Eden’s turn.) t was time for the children’s message during worship. A time when many parents sit with bated breath, hoping that this week their child will not be the one to do or say anything too telling (read: potentially mortifying) in front of all these people. As the gaggle of children gathered around, the pastor pulled out a half dozen manila envelopes. She explained to the children that she’d been collecting them for many years. She then posed the question: “What do you think is in all these envelopes?” Without missing a beat, a young boy in the back of the group said, “More stuff.” Out of the mouths of babes. The congregation enjoyed a good chuckle, and the service went on. Ever my mother’s daughter, however, I couldn’t let it lie. I kept thinking about what had prompted that little boy to make such a claim, if he had any idea what his statement meant or just how much it reverberated with all of us – or, at the very least, with me. What is it within us that makes us so preoccupied with “stuff?” As part of an academic community, I’ve recently witnessed many friends pack up their lives and move to new cities, new apartments, new jobs. All of them (and the people helping pack, to be sure) made comments about how much or how little they possessed. I myself have been taking inventory of my own possessions in the process of rearranging and – gasp! – organizing my little house. Truly? There’s too much. Do I really need 27 scarves of varying colors and knitting patterns? What about that stack of magazines I keep promising myself I will go through and cut out all the recipes I want? Nope. Now, hear me say this: I am by no means advocating a monastic lifestyle for Americans. I like curling up on my couch and watching my TV just as much as the next guy. I like my coffeepot (just try to make me give that up!). I like my books and shoes and, well, my stuff. I just have been wondering if I really need all of it to be … to be what? Happy? Accomplished? To fit in to the 20-something set of young professionals in my neighborhood? The answer: I don’t know. Here’s what I do know, however. Recently, my best friend and her husband opened their home to a young man of 19. They didn’t know him, other than through a friend-of-a-friend. But they got a call late one evening that this man, Phillip, had been kicked out of his house and could he please come to stay for a little while in the guest room? His parents didn’t “agree with his lifestyle” and would no longer support him, financially or emotionally. To clarify, Phillip isn’t addicted to drugs. He hasn’t been arrested for theft nor is he suspected of gang activity. He simply went to his family and said, “This is who I am, and these are the things I want in life.” And they replied, “Not in our household.” So, Phillip is 19 and homeless. The night he left the house of his childhood, he didn’t get to bring anything other than a few changes of clothes and a couple of favorite books. He had to leave the rest of his stuff behind. Over the course of the next few weeks, Phillip had countless conversations with his family members trying to resolve this issue. His boss fired him from the store where he works during the summers because Phillip had no way of getting to his assigned shifts. He had to withdraw from college for this fall because he has no way of paying for it, and no way to get there, even if he did. And yet. Phillip is one of the most sincere, loving, giving and happy people I’ve had the privilege to know. I’ve never seen him in a less than stellar mood; he always has a smile to offer and a joke to make, with the slightest twinkle in his eyes. All this has happened to him in a matter of weeks – his life completely turned inside out, all the comforts of home gone – and he maintains a positive attitude. Perhaps the best part about this is that I asked my church – the place where even the children know we have “more stuff” – if they would be willing to donate items to help Phillip during this time of transition. The congregation leapt at the chance to help. When I approached Phillip about this, though, asking him to tell me the kinds of things he needed most, he said, “Oh, you know. I’m OK right now on clothes, and James and Amanda have said I can live with them for the rest of the summer. So, really just some groceries would be nice.” At the young age of 19, and in the face of heartache and adversity, this man already knows what many of us take decades to figure out: as long as we have a roof over our heads and loved ones, in whatever capacity, to support us, everything else is gravy. Be thankful for the people who surround you with love and support every day. Offer this same love and support to others who need it. And then? Get rid of more stuff.

sat down recently with The owner of a pot-bellied pig gave her Young-Williams Anito Young-Williams after she grew too big. mal Center’s executive director Tim Adams, along with members of his staff, to find out what really happens behind the scenes at Knoxville’s official “go-to” animal shelter. After a short conversation, they were eager to give me a tour of the facility. I think most people would be surprised at what I found. I say that because there seems to be a lot of incorrect beliefs about animal shelters in general. Most remarks I’ve heard are pretty negative: “You know what happens to animals taken there.” A litter of puppies that was surrendered to Young-Wil“They kill the animals liams by their owner, who has no intentions of spaying the mother. Photos by S. Barrett that don’t find homes.” “Those animals don’t have a chance.” “The majority of our animals are on the adoption floor until they find homes,” Adams says. And the shelter’s policy is to accept any creature, no matter the size, health or species. “We’ve accepted everything from ducks to tarantulas and mice, and even a type of crocodile. An emu was even brought in from the backyard of an abandoned house. That was my favorite. Considering my background, you know where it ended up.” SARA’S CORNER Adams is referring to his time as education director for the Knoxville Zoo. He left that position five years ago to come to Young-Williams.

“When they have time, some of our staff even checks Craigslist to see if we can match up strays we have with listings of lost pets.” – Monica Brown After making a positive, lasting impression on the staff and animals at the shelter, and the organization itself, Adams will be moving on to his next project Aug. 8 as executive director of the Wesley House, a community center which helps inner city children and seniors. When hearing any of the shelter’s staff talk about their job, you can hear pride in their voice for what they do, and respect and affection for the animals in their care. Treats are given regularly and toys are scattered throughout the cages to help the animals pass the time. Maggie, a beautiful labradoodle surrendered by an older couple, was sitting in her cage, tail wagging, looking at me through shaggy curls of fur. Education specialist John Swank got her out on a leash to show me her tricks. “This dog can sit on command,” he says. Although it can be stressful and even depressing dealing with some of the issues that arise with animals coming to the shelter, the staff wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Kennel manager Monica Brown is a perfect example. She has been with the shelter for seven years, but she started rescuing animals when she was just 17. “You have to be here because you care,” she says. Swank talks about the day the staff heard the numbers of animals coming in to the shelter had dropped – slightly. “Monica just started crying (out of happiness),” says Swank. Monica nodded. “When I stop crying, then it’s time to go.” Although they follow regulations set by the state, they also incorporate the organization’s beliefs into the process of accepting animals.

Young-Williams executive director Tim Adams hangs out with a husky dog picked up two days prior. The owner still had not contacted the shelter looking for him.

YWAC education director John Swank sits with Maggie, a lovely girl given up by her owners because of her size.

“We worry about the health of the ‘herd,’ ” Brown says. “We vaccinate every animal as soon as they come into the building. This prevents the rest of the animals from becoming sick if there is an illness brought into the population.” The center also keeps animals longer than the minimum stay required by state law. This allows pet owners a better chance to find their lost pet. The staff tells everyone who calls about a lost animal to check back every day. “We are really detectives,” says Brown. “When they have time, some of our

staff even checks Craigslist to see if we can match up strays we have with listings of lost pets.” The only animals euthanized right away are those that arrive too sick to find a new home. “We have 16,000 animals that come into our facility each year,” Brown says. “People don’t realize when they lose a pet, this is the first place they should look for it. We want to see these numbers go down.” Another service YoungWilliams offers the community is low-cost euthanasia for pet owners who can’t afford a high vet bill. The own-

ers can even be present in the room when the animal is euthanized if they choose. The pet food pantry is another service. A pet owner can receive free pet food to supplement their animal’s diet if there is a change of household income. In exchange for the food, participants must do at least three hours of community service to receive more pet food. No matter what service you’re talking about, it is clear the main goal at Young-Williams is helping the community, one animal, or human, at a time. Info: www.knoxpets.org.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JULY 25, 2011 • A-7

have been on another planet. Although Knox County owned the pool and its facilities, the daily management and operations were leased out to private individuals. The first operator I can remember was Joe Kimsey, whose father, Joe Kimsey Sr., was chief of police of Knoxville. Although Joe passed away some years ago, he is someone I will always remember because he taught me to swim – well, sort of. Actually, he just picked me

up and threw me in the deep end of the pool and stood and barked instructions on what I should do to get out. His method worked well, but it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Most of the Concord kids worked in the snack bar, flipping hamburgers and hot dogs or handing out baskets at the bath house. The baskets were used to store your clothes during your stay, and since there was no time limit on how long you could stay, many of the regulars came early in the morning and stayed all day. Of course, another benefit was to see all the beautiful girls, and in some cases, relationships that started at the pool resulted in lifelong marriages. The day work was a bit mundane, but the real work started after the pool closed. When flood lights were installed, this could sometimes be late at night. Normal activity was to pick up trash, empty garbage cans, and periodically empty the pool and scrub it down using long-handled brushes and chemicals. Initially, the water supply was unfiltered straight from the lake, which left a residue of silt and debris on the bottom, but the work got much easier after filters were installed. Barbara’s husband, Jay, ran the pool for a number of years, as did her brother, Frank. The original lifeguards were the Kimsey brothers (Joe and Don), Frank Hall, the Beller brothers (Jay and Bill), Dale Daniels and several others whose names I can’t remember. But most were World War II vets who went to college on the GI Bill and several years later became football coaches in Knox County Schools. The pool was also the favorite hangout for UT football players, including Frank Kolinski, Gordon Polosfki, John Gordy, Looney Smith, Bob Hibbard, Ray Elkins and a host of others, some of whom went on to have NFL careers. Most of the time, they arrived together, and from the time they came

through the gate, you could detect a change in the general energy level. They passed footballs, flirted with the prettiest girls and made life rough for the “pool pack,” as we were often called. Sometimes we worked so late we spent the night at the pool and slept in the pump house. I always called my family to let them know when I was going to stay overnight. Reflecting on it now, I am sure it was a cause for worry about my safety. But they knew that the park police and county sheriff’s deputies regularly patrolled the area, which kept us out of mischief. The “pool pack” was a great bunch of guys. Drugs were a pill your doctor prescribed for malady, and beer was not allowed in the park or swimming pool, so that vice was never a problem. The demise of the pool began when new subdivisions started including community pools as amenities, and as public utilities were expanded, families started building private backyard pools. And, although Concord Swimming Pool held on for several years, it became apparent that it could no longer be a profitable enterprise and was eventually closed. Today, it is only a fond memory of our youth and a time when the complexities of modern society were beyond our imagination. The old pool site was originally planned as the location for the new YMCA facility, which is now located on Northshore Drive in the Choto area, but those plans fell by the wayside. As I drive by this site now, usually en route to Lakeside Tavern, I try to picture where all the buildings stood, but with the pool completely filled in and the site graded, it’s hard to visualize it as it existed in my memory. Barbara pointed out that it’s a bit like driving by your old home place that has been torn down and trying to visualize it as you remember it, usually with a mixture of sadness and happiness.

Other causes for optimism? Seven of the first nine games are at redecorated Neyland Stadium, proud home of the Vols and a really good marching band and a hundred thousand seats.

is the offensive line. It is one year older. If it is also better, glory, glory. Offensive balance may be overrated to a degree or two but I still believe a team must be able to run to win in the Southeastern Conference. The ability to run greatly influences defensive concepts. Gaining a couple of tough yards under duress earns critical first downs and keeps the clock ticking. Elementary, my dear Watson, but whether the chains more or not often determines who wins games. Tennessee’s future on the ground is in the hands of the aforementioned offensive line, battering ram Channing Fugate and tailbacks Tauren Poole, Rajion Neal, Toney Williams, Marlin Lane and maybe Tom Smith. As good as Bray was last November, he wasn’t good enough to beat North Carolina. Whether he can win at Gainesville remains to be seen. We can hope experience and greater knowledge makes a better quarterback. Alas, in some cases, too much information muddies young minds. Tennessee offense 2010 depended heavily on big plays. I suppose you have noticed that Denarius Moore is gone. He averaged 20.9 per catch. Where are you,

Justin Hunter? Are you for real? Is Da’Rick Rogers the deep answer? Nothing to do but keep watching for DeAnthony Arnett. The Vols will be better in the secondary – if, if, if and if. Focal points are Janzen Jackson, Prentiss Waggoner, Brent Brewer and Byron Moore. The Vols will probably be better in the defensive front. Malik Jackson is a winner. We can only hope Maurice Couch is. I have no clue regarding linebackers. There are athletic possibilities. There is less experience. I wish I knew when Herman Lathers will be well and exactly how good is A.J. Johnson. Kicking game? Half of it has to be better. The idea of letting punts hit and roll was not too good after the first laugh. That a college football team, supported by expensive instructors, has no one who can field a punt is a scary situation. It is also symbolic of how bad the Vols have been. Returning punts is basic stuff. Bobby Majors ran ’em back for 1,163 yards and four touchdowns in an All-American career. If Coach Dooley calls, I’ll tell him about Bobby Majors.

Remembering Concord Swimming Pool MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

was talking to Barbara Beeler the other day and we reminisced about the fun the young folks had at the old Concord Swimming Pool in present-day Concord Park. I specifically remember the early 1950s, when the pool was relatively new and many of the Concord teenagers worked there during the summer. Swimming pools were a novelty then because few homeowners had them. First, water was

too scarce to waste on a pool, and with a lake within a stone’s throw from our front porch, we could go swimming anytime. But the public swimming pool offered the opportunity to enjoy swimming in a safe environment and make a little money at the same time. As far as I can remember, Concord Swimming Pool was the only one in West Knox County. There was one in Oak Ridge and one in Maryville, but at that time, they might as well

No time for wimps Dayspring Church hosted Vacation Bible School last week. The theme was “No Time for Wimps.” The week focused on physical ﬁtness and was based on Philippians 4:13 which states “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” The theme was a unique idea of the church and used God’s word to teach participants about being strong in their faith. Each night students earned their spiritual belts – black, red, white and gold. The black belt symbolized sin, the red belt symbolized the blood of Christ, white symbolized being washed clean and gold symbolized Heaven.

Sharon Baptist Church will host a showing of the movie “Soul Surfer” at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 31. The film is based on the life of surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack in 2003. The movie details the events surrounding the attack and her struggle during the aftermath. Directed by Sean McNamara, the film’s title refers to a term coined in the 1960s to describe people who surfed purely for pleasure. But in Hamilton’s case the word “soul” has a double meaning, referring to how her faith helped her recover her surfing career after the attack. The film stars AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, Dennis Quaid and Carrie Underwood. Everyone is invited to this screening and no admission will be charged. Sharon Baptist Church is located at 7916 Pedigo Road. Info: 938-7075.

Interns invade Neyland Stadium By Madeline Lonas This week the ShopperNews interns toured Neyland Stadium. It’s hard to imagine that Gen. Robert Reese Neyland wouldn’t be amazed by the recently renovated grand stadium named in his honor that is home to the Tennessee Volunteer football team. We were awestruck while walking through this magnificent facility with UT associate athletic director for media relations Bud Ford. From top to bottom, it was first class all the way. Hanging above the doorway in the locker room is a sign that says, “I will give my all for Tennessee today!” Ford said it is a Volunteer tradition to touch this sign before each game. We were all jumping, reaching and struggling to do so as we left the locker room. From there, it was on to the Stokely Family Media Room. Behind us was the black backdrop with orange Tennessee Vol T’s on it where coach Derek Dooley conducts his postgame press conferences. Finally, we toured the press box and the skybox. The inside rooms of the skyboxes have cloth covered walls and Power T carpet. Couches and chairs have leather covered footballshaped ottomans between them. On nearly every surface were flat-screen TVs, even though the views were outstanding.

‘Money quotes’ from Bud Ford Dalton Mullins: “Working with Peyton Manning was my most favorite time.” Elizabeth Longmire: “Every time the players

Put your game face on! By Tia Kalmon Last week the interns learned a lot of history about Neyland Stadium during their “behind the scenes” tour with Bud Ford. Shields-Watkins Field was built in 1921. The stadium that was constructed around it was dedicated to Gen. Robert Reese Neyland following his death in 1962. In 2004 the University of Tennessee began a project to expand the stadium to better accommodate the fans that come to see each game. Today it can hold more than 102,000 spectators. “During game days there is a buzz of activity, with three ESPN trucks and many more stations from all over,” Ford said. Throughout the stadium are orange “T’s” lined on the walls to display the spirit for the team. We walked on the part of the path that the athletes take during the Vol Walk on game days. Banners commemorate past SEC and national championships, Hall of Famers and players who have had their numbers retired. “We have the home field advantage when we play here,” Ford said. “You look right across the field and that’s where the oppos-

ing team is coming out. You are able to see their faces, with this many people in the stands. They aren’t used to playing in a stadium this big.” Ford began working in sports information while attending UT and was hired straight out of college in 1966 by former athletic director Bob Woodruff. “It keeps you young. The athletes I work with average between ages 18-21,” Ford said. “They always stay the same age. “I’ve seen a lot of firsts that aren’t going to happen again, like world records set on our tracks and a 99-yard run by Kelsey Finch (at Florida). Ford says one of his favorite games is UT’s big comeback at Notre Dame in 1991. “We were down 31-7 just before halftime,” he says. After Floyd Miley returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown, and following an incredible second-half comeback, Tennessee’s Jeremy Lincoln blocked a Notre Dame field goal in the closing seconds. UT won 35-34. After a dedicated 45 years of working for UT, Ford is planning to retire in December and become UT athletics’ official historian.

leave for a game, they touch the sign that says, ‘I will give my all for Tennessee today.’ They (the players) can usually just put a hand up and touch it but we have to jump.” Caroline Longmire: “There is a ‘no reaction’

policy in the press box. If anyone cheers or insults the other team, you are immediately kicked out.” Jenna Kalmon: “Gen. Neyland believed if you do the game maxims you will win the game.”

International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers paying on the spot for valuables this week in Clinton

By Debi Lambert STAFF WRITER

Clinton-area residents are in for a rare treat when the International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers

While most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have buckets of dental gold at their fingertips, they do have $750 worth of scrap

(IGSDB) host an event here, from July 26th - 30th, at the Country Inn & Suites. The company has identified this region as prime territory for purchasing valuable gemstones and precious metalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially gold and

gold scattered throughout their homes, according to industry Specialists. In addition to scrap gold, fine jewelry and gemstones, coins are a big hit. Offers will be made on

silver. The IGSDB estimates that local residents have millions of dollars worth of valuables that they no longer need or want. That is where the IGSDB comes

all coins dated 1965 and earlierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;gold coins, silver, silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes. Enright explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. coins made before 1965 are

Currently on an international tour, IGSDB has included Clinton on its list of stops for this week. Residents are urged to mark their calendar for this special opportunity to meet one-on-one with gold, silver and diamond specialists. Because of IGSDBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low overhead, extensive resources and massive volume, the company is often able to pay out more than other dealers and retailers. Many customers are surprised at how much they are offered for seemingly small amounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had two bent herringbone necklaces, a class ring, and some outdated earrings that I brought to a show. I walked out with $425 in less than 15 minutes,â&#x20AC;? said a satisfied guest. Providing an economic boost to each region it visits, the IGSDB projects to pay out $350,000 at each eventâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a testament to the high volume of items they purchase and the prime prices being paid. Offers are made based on rarity, numismatic value, condition and market value. Company spokesman Matthew Enright says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just paid $4,700 for a loose 1.25â&#x20AC;&#x201D;carat diamond. Our mission is to pay local residents on the spot for loose gemstones, fine jewelry, coins and precious metalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially silver and gold.â&#x20AC;? The company has seen a huge influx of gold lately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers have been scrambling to cash into the record-high value of gold,â&#x20AC;? adds Enright. For those who are unsure if their items are genuine gold or silver, or simply costume, company will test it for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best strategy is to bring all items to the show for a free evaluation from our specialists. It always amazes me how a small handful of gold and silver can turn into hundreds of dollars in just a few moments. We test, weigh, and buy items right on the spot,â&#x20AC;? Enright says. At a recent show, a smallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;town dentist had a nice pay day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been collecting dental gold for years from patients who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their extracted teeth. It really added upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my check is for over $31,000!â&#x20AC;?

home with a check for more than $700!â&#x20AC;? Clinton-area residents should start collecting their valuables now to bring to the free event, which runs Tuesday - Saturday. Deals will be made and money will be paid on the spot. Attendance is expected to be high, but no appointment is needed. Enright encourages everyone to take advantage of this special opportunity to meet directly with specialists from the International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers. He concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance for people to cash in their old diamonds, jewelry, coins and scrap gold. This is a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out!â&#x20AC;?

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • JULY 25, 2011 • A-15

Mom of the year I don’t think I’m the only mom who sometimes feels like she’s getting graded by some cosmic busybody on the minutia of parenting, and that feeling is never more apparent than when I’ve failed miserably. While I’m certainly not plagued by feelings of unworthiness, it’s hard to shake that idea that Every Little Thing Counts when it comes to child rearing. What if he remembers that I didn’t make it to the preschool party and turns to a life of crime? It’s like that nightmare that you’re back in high school algebra class, and it’s finals day, and you suddenly realize that you haven’t been to one single class that year for some really legitimate yet completely incomprehensible reason. So, I try to second-guess, plan ahead and operate at the top of my parenting game at all times, but that doesn’t keep me from falling on my face from time to time. Just this summer, I showed up at Daniel’s snack day at preschool bearing seeded grapes. Talk about your blunders. Last week, I was fretting because Daniel’s preschool had scheduled a berry picking field trip at 8:30 a.m. on Friday. Normally, I could make arrangements to get to work late, but last week we had someone on vacation. As the vacationer’s stand-in, I

moms101 just couldn’t get away. There would be care at the school for kids who couldn’t go, but still I had visions of Daniel sitting there all alone. I chided myself, “Yep, I’m not making Mom of the Year now,” and tried to explain away the guilt. Hey, Daniel has picked plenty of berries at his grandparents’ farm. He’s not really missing anything, just fun with friends, a wagon ride, a new experience. Sigh. On Thursday morning I woke up with a sore throat. By that afternoon, I had to go home sick. I struggled through the night, hoping I’d get better, but by Friday morning it was clear that I needed medical help. There went Mom of the Year, struggling through fever and malaise to get a 3-year-old fed, dressed and off to preschool without infecting him. Lo and behold, there was a good-sized group of kids for Daniel to play with. I stumbled in and out, touching as little as I could, then made it to the nearest health care professional.

It was strep throat. I came home clutching antibiotics and promptly fell into bed. It’s possible that I felt worse during labor or after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, but not by much. I remember thinking as I lay there, “Here I’ve got a whole day to lay in bed in a quiet house, and I can’t even enjoy it because I feel like crap.” When Daniel’s dad brought him home that afternoon, Daniel ran to my bedside and said, “Aw, Mommy’s sick. You got medicine, Mommy?” “Yes, buddy. I’ve got medicine.” He crawled up on the ■ Beaver Ridge UMC, 7753 Oak Ridge Highway, will host “From bed, stood up and leapt into Our Corner Into the World” the air.

the buzz on the street

Crowne Plaza first to turn over a new Leaf

By Wendy Smith

Swanky hotels have always advertised their ability to help customers relax and recharge, but the Crowne Plaza Knoxville has the hardware to back up that promise. Two Blink Level 2 (240 volt AC input) electric vehicle charging stations are now open for hotel guests and parking customers. Controller Scott Greer says the Crowne Plaza is thrilled to be the first downtown business to offer the service and that he’d love to see charging stations installed all over the city. Stephanie Cox of Ecotality wants the same thing. Ecotality manages the EV Project, which has received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to help deploy electric vehicles and install charging stations to support them. Cox explained the project and demonstrated the Blink stations at a July 15 press conference at the hotel. Tennessee is one of six states, plus the District of Columbia, that is part of a pilot program that provides charging stations to Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt owners, as well as to some businesses, at no cost. The project also covers most or all installation costs. The goal is to create an infrastructure in the state that’s a model for rest of the country. Plans are underway for several Knox area locations to receive charging stations, but Cox says the project needs for other Knoxville businesses to get on board. “The whole country is watching the state of Tennessee right now,” she says. EV project participants agree to share information about vehicle performance and the effectiveness of the local charging infrastructure. The data collected will be used as the program expands into other states. Tennessee residents who purchase an electric vehicle qualify for a $2,500 rebate from the state and a $7,500 federal tax credit. Cox says those who order a Nissan Leaf now can expect delivery in 2011 in spite of delays caused by Japan’s tsunami. A new Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tenn., is expected to produce the Leafs by late 2012. The Leaf comes with a Level I charger that provides a full charge from a standard 120V outlet in about 16 hours. Level II chargers fully charge a vehicle in about eight hours, and the next stage of the EV Project is to install fast charging systems along interstates that will allow customers to recharge in less than 30 minutes.

Mike Bradley of TVA’s media relations department says consumers who charge electric vehicles at home will spend between 50 cents and $1.50 per day, depending on utility rates in their area. TVA is an EV Project partner. TVA engineer Drew Frye says 30 fast charging systems will be installed throughout the state by the end of the year to enable travel between major cities. Electric vehicles aren’t all equipped for a fast charge, however. The fast charge port

is an upgrade on the Leaf. Frye test drives electric vehicles for TVA and says the cars get a little more than 70 miles per charge. He brought a TVA-owned Leaf to demonstrate the Crowne Plaza’s new charging stations. After spending large portions of his workday in the car, he has become a fan. “It might not blow you away when you first see it, but the more you drive it, the more respect you have for it,” he says. “It grows on you.”

Urban League Works forr

Chef Garrett Scanlan eases onto a chair in Garrett’s Downtown Deli in the First Tennessee Plaza. A breakfast customer does a double take. “Are you the man on television?” He grins and unleashes a wee bit of blarney. “That would be me, darlin’.” She has doubtless seen his public television show, “90 miles with Chef Garrett,” which explores eateries within driving distance of Knoxville. He also has a second Downtown Deli in West Knoxville, does catering and teaches cooking classes. A master chef born and trained in Dublin, Ireland, where he met his wife, Stella, he represented Ireland in the Culinary Olympics at age 19 and was recruited to come to the USA by the Hilton organization. He gave up a high-end restaurant in Michigan to seek a less stressful life in Knoxville. His daughter, Dawn, manages the downtown Downtown Deli. Both stores feature fresh ingredients and Reuben sandwiches made with their own corned beef. St. Patrick’s Day brings an Irish feast where they dish up some 350 pounds of corned beef, which they serve with traditional dishes like braised colcannon finished with creamed parsley sauce. The lines of customers stretch around the block.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

New LDRP suite results in perfect delivery for new mom A healthy baby is any expectant motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest hope. But to deliver that baby conveniently, in a soothing and pretty birthing suite? Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just icing on the birthday cake. Thirty-two-year-old Megan Miller of Knoxville got both her wishes in May at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, when she gave birth to baby Josephine Clair in one of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum) suites. Fort Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LDRP suites are comfortable, cozy, all-in-one rooms for low-risk mothers having normal, vaginal births. The hospital has six of these new suites, each equipped with everything a new mother needs before, during and after delivery. When Miller and her husband, Monte, toured Fort Sanders during their childbirth classes, they asked their Fort Sanders obstetrician Dr. Roy C. Broady, if they could try the suites for their birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I requested it,â&#x20AC;? explains Megan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked that the suite was a little larger, so that was a big beneďŹ t.â&#x20AC;? Josephine Clair was born after a lengthy labor, weighing a healthy 8 pounds 6.5 ounces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were seven people in the room for delivery,â&#x20AC;? laughs Megan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as crowded as it could have been!â&#x20AC;? Megan never had to leave the suite and was able to rest and recover in the same room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was huge,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had so much stuff! My husband had his stuff, I

So The new family was there a toit was nice to get comfortable in tal of three nights, long enough

for friends and family to visit (and for Monte to break out his laptop). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The room was really pretty. A few people commented on how nice it was,â&#x20AC;? she says. As for the delivery and medical care, Megan says she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been happier at Fort Sanders. She received the same medication and equipment many women receive in a traditional delivery room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including an epidural analgesia to ease pain. The bed converts into a delivery platform and back again into a regular bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no complications at all. Everything was smooth,â&#x20AC;? Megan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was wonderful. I was so pleased. The nurses were so amazing and Dr. Broady was amazing.â&#x20AC;? After birth, baby Josephine spent some time in the neonatal nursery to treat a mild case of jaundice, but nurses brought her to Megan whenever she needed to nurse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nurses were fabulous, every little thing I needed they were right there. They were very sweet, too. It was like having your mom take care of you.â&#x20AC;? Now at home, the newborn weeks are going just as smoothly as delivery, according to Megan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She started sleeping through the night the day before she turned 6 weeks old.â&#x20AC;? Megan says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already recommended the LDRP suites at Fort Sanders to several pregnant friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a single complaint, and things went perfectly.â&#x20AC;?

Prepare for baby with Teddy Bear U! Congratulations! Becoming a parent is an exciting and challenging time.

There are also classes for big brothers and sisters, as well as parents expecting â&#x20AC;&#x153;marvelous multiples.â&#x20AC;? Classes fill quickly, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to reserve your space before your fifth or sixth month of pregnancy. For specific details about Teddy Bear University classes and dates, call (865) 673-FORT (3678).

Fort Sanders offers new delivery option High-risk pregnancies have always been the specialty of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, but now, the hospital has six new rooms just for low-risk patients as well. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called LDRP rooms (for labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum), and they offer a more homelike environment and privacy for mother, child and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a warm, homey feeling,â&#x20AC;? explains Fort Sanders Director of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services Bernie Hurst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a bedroom than a hospital room. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very nice.â&#x20AC;? In an LDRP, the bed is all-inone, adjustable for labor, but ďŹ tted with an extra mattress afterward for a more comfortable stay. The furniture in the room includes wood dressers that hide medical equipment and a wooden bassinet for the baby. Other family members can stay as well, in a chair that transforms into a bed. Each of the LDRP rooms has a shower, while two of the labor and deliver rooms also have whirlpool tubs.

Fort Sanders has six spacious rooms that allow low-risk moms to labor, deliver and recover in the same room. Nearby are facilities for more high-risk births, premature labor and emergency Caesarean-section deliveries. The hospital has

a Level II nursery on site to care for moderately premature babies. Any newborn needing extra care is transferred quickly to the neo-

natal intensive care unit (NICU) across the street at East Tennessee Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital via the underground tunnel that links the two

buildings. Neonatologists at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital work closely with physicians at Fort Sanders for any high-risk pregnancy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have anything and everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want for having a baby,â&#x20AC;? says Hurst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can offer more options than anywhere else because we have both high-risk and low-risk care.â&#x20AC;?

Lions to get vision van

tion for several local clubs – Knox North, Farragut, Fountain City, West Knox and also includes Morristown, Kingston, Oak Ridge and Lenoir City. The Smoky Mountain Lions Charities hope to put the van on the road one weekend per month to provide eyeglasses to those who cannot afford them. With the van, the Lions can conduct exams, have a licensed optometrist write a prescription and actually make the glasses in the van. Throughout the country, many Lions organizations have vision vans for exams but very few have the capability to actually make the eyeglasses on site. The Lions have a goal of making 100 pairs of glasses per outing. While funding plans for the vision van are still being discussed, the Lions are looking for corporate sponsors to help with the initial repairs. In exchange for financial help in getting the van up and running, the Lions will display the donor’s logo on the van. For information on how your company can partner with Lions, visit the Knox North Lions website at www. knoxnorthlions.com, click on the “contact us” button and fill out the form.

RAM donates decommissioned rig By Greg Householder The Lions Club is known for its service in the preservation of sight. Every year, thousands of folks who could not otherwise afford eyeglasses receive a pair through the Lions. The Smoky Mountain Lions Charities, the 501(c)(3) umbrella organization for several area clubs, recently received a generous gift from the folks at Remote Area Medical. Remote Area Medical, or RAM, is based in South Knoxville and is a nonprofit, volunteer, airborne relief corps dedicated to serving mankind by providing free health care, dental care, eye care, veterinary services, and technical and educational assistance to people in remote areas of the United States and the world. RAM was in the process of decommissioning its vision van. The van – actually a trailer similar to a giant fifth-wheel rig – has equipment that is capable

Summertime is a favorite time of the year. Sun, swimming, heat and bugs! Many of the insects can be a real nuisance, but the butterfly is the exception. I’ve always been fascinated with butterflies and have had the opportunity to visit three Kathryn butterf ly houses. Woycik My first was in England, where I was able to introduce my son, who was 3, to this delicate and fragile creature. What an experience for him to observe and have them land on him. Butterfly World in Florida was the second we toured, and it was our favorite. The third was in Massachusetts, and it caught our attention in a different way. As we watched the many different varieties fluttering about, we heard several children start to scream. They were actually afraid of these harmless insects and were swatting at them as if they were a swarm of bees! We thought it a shame that these children hadn’t been given the opportunity to appreciate this part of nature. We truly are blessed to live in such a beautiful area with many fields providing opportunities to observe butterflies, become familiar with the different varieties and teach our children about them. A few weeks ago, Dr. Bob Collier wrote an article for the Shopper-News about the big orange flowers that we can see growing in the wild here in Tennessee. Those bright orange-red flowers also had caught my attention as I noticed butterflies flittering from one to another. It wasn’t long before I was able to capture quite a variety of them with my camera.
