seen more emotion in this one room than I’ve seen anywhere.” Tucker served as a guardian for three veterans, including Bob Gann of Strawberry Plains. Gann served in the Navy, Army and Air Force, retiring from the latter in 1969, and is a Korean War veteran. “He’s wonderful,” Gann said of Tucker. “He did a great job.”

were doing,” said David Dowling, a retired steamfitter. “They were digging on the front first, and then they came around to the back where it’s a steep drop-off and they didn’t have a pond up there at all. “Then I walked over to my neighbor’s house and said ‘Man, they’re gonna drown us.’ ” Dowling said he kept watching as all the trees came down. He followed a dump truck hauling a load of topsoil to a site in Halls. “You take a big old oak tree, it’ll soak up a lot of water.” He said he tried talking to the Southland Excavation employees, to no avail. “I told them this was going to happen, told them to dig a pond.

By Betty Bean The damage caused by stormwater runoff from the Rufus Smithowned residential development on the top of Copper Ridge isn’t confined to the property of Gary and Marsha Carter, whose home and land were trashed by muddy floodwaters when a detention pond collapsed in June. Their next-door neighbors on Dawson Hollow Road, Dowling David and Patricia Dowling, have suffered water damage as well. “When they first started, I walked up there to see what they

you feel good.” Tucker says he’ll forever carry with him the memory of the respect shown to the veterans during the flight and tour. “They didn’t look at their service like they were risking their lives. They were just doing their job. But they preserved our country’s freedom and other countries’ freedom.”

The estimate of the cost of restoring David Dowling’s detention pond to functionality: $13,307.56. But they didn’t, so I dug a detention pond to protect myself.” His detention pond sits on the side of the hill where he keeps his goats, llamas, geese and a Great Pyrenees dog. At first, it worked to perfection, he said. “I told my wife, ‘This is gonna work good.’ The pond would fill up during a rain, then slowly drain, slowing the water down.” But that didn’t last long.

“Last July, we had a heavy rain, and buddy, here came all that mud and water. It was just gushing.” Now, his pond, which used to be 8 feet deep, is plugged with mud and no longer drains. He estimates it’s only 8-10 inches deep now. He wants to fi x it and last week got an estimate for restoring it to functionality: $13,307.56. And he knows that’s a temporary fi x. The water is coming down the hill in sheets now, digging gullies in his yard and washing against, under and around his house. The county has dumped loads of riprap along Dawson Hollow Road to keep the roadbed from washing away. Dowling says a friend came by the house

Balancing the crime budget preferring to spend their “vacation” inside. There’s little to be done in the short run to change inmate attitudes, but there are steps that can be taken to keep down the cost of housing inmates. One is the electronic monitoring (ankle bracelet) program that Knox County has used increasingly for several years. Allison Rogers of the KCSO says the current cost per day for housing inmates is $74. The electronic monitoring bracelets are leased for $10 per day, but the offender reimburses the sheriff’s office for that cost. Currently, three KCSO employees supervise approximately 1,000 offenders on the program. “The offenders are able to work and there-

Gann went into the military at age 17 and said he loved it so much he made it a career. He said he had been to Washington before, but only briefly. “We had a good reception in D.C. It was a high point, too,” Gann said. “But not like this. To see these little kids, and the Scouts and all these men and women, it really makes

Crime doesn’t pay, but it does cost taxpayers. As Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett looks for ways to reduce government spending, it’s time to examine the high cost of incarceration and consider expanding the alternatives.

Analysis Recently a high-ranking Knox County Sheriff’s Office official was lamenting the attitude of prisoners who refuse to work even if it means an early out. Some with six-month stays at the jail were offered a chance to halve their sentences if they would join inmate work gangs. They refused,

By Jake Mabe Talk about one great gift. After Tucker Hunley graduated from Halls High School earlier this year, longtime family friend Sam Hardman sent him $50 as a gift. Tucker says he’d received a ton of graduation gifts and wanted to do something special with Sam’s money. So, he asked Sam to give it as a donation to HonorAir Knoxville, the program established by Eddie Mannis to take World War II and Korean War veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the war memorials. “Two weeks later, I received a letter from Eddie Mannis asking me to be a guardian free of charge on the next HonorAir flight. It was an incredible gift and opportunity.” That next flight happened last Wednesday. Tucker called the trip a life-changing experience. “It was amazing to see how much respect was given to them (the veterans), both here and in Washington,” Tucker said. “Many of them said this was the most appreciation they’d ever seen for their service. The vast majority of them had never been to Washington.” “Just see their faces,” he said, pointing to the veterans who’d just returned to a welcome home ceremony at McGhee Tyson Airport. “I think I’ve

fore lessen the tax burden on the citizens of Knox County,” Rogers notes. The KCSO has dealt with a perfect storm of issues that began in the late 1980s when a class action suit was filed by inmates. The suit alleged overcrowding had resulted in conditions which violated inmate rights guaranteed by the Eighth and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. Subsequently, the court threatened Knox County with a $5,000 per inmate per day fine for exceeding the maximum capacity of the downtown intake center. An additional pod for housing prisoners at the Maloneyville Road detention center alleviated overcrowding downtown, but the KCSO

is also dealing with problems that originated outside the county. According to Rogers, between 18 and 22 percent of prisoners suffer from some form of mental illness. These include homeless persons typically jailed for minor offenses. Like hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the nation, the KCSO finds itself grappling with a problem that originated more than 50 years ago and grew through the 1960s and 1970s. State facilities closed and mental patients were “deinstitutionalized” by the tens of thousands in favor of treatment at local mental health centers. As far back as 1984, Richard Lyons was writing in the New York Times that the policy was “widely regarded as a failure.” Today, the numbers of the mentally ill have grown far beyond the capacity of local mental health treatment faciliTo page A-2

Neighbors enjoy National Night Out Getting to know your neighbors is a big deterrent against crime, says Knox County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office education coordinator Katy Davis.

Jake Mabe The sad fact of our hustle and bustle society is that most of us no longer know many, if any, of the folks living around us. National Night Out seeks to remedy that. Margaret Gillenwater says she organized the first one at Stewart Ridge subdivision in Halls in the mid1970s. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hosting one on and off for Gillenwater 36 years. Last Wednesday, outside her house, children were playing, adults were chatting and both the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and Rural/Metro were on hand to show off their vehicles and raise awareness for neighborhood watches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a night for neighborhood watch groups to celebrate and take a stand against crime and drugs,â&#x20AC;? Davis said, adding that 15 other groups were holding similar events throughout the county. City neighborhoods were also participating.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have fun,â&#x20AC;? Gillenwater says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just pleased that everybody can get together. We watch after each other here and the crime rate is low.â&#x20AC;? Sitting under the shade of a tree, Halls business owner Jim McManus was making quick work of a popsicle. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in the neighborhood but says his daughter and son-inlaw do and he enjoys coming out each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is still the greatest place in the county to live and raise a family,â&#x20AC;? Jim says. â&#x2013;

Loy is new secretary at Halls Middle

Anita Loy has worked for Knox County Schools since 1994, but she says making the switch from the public affairs office downtown to becoming a secretary at Anita Loy Halls Middle was almost like switching companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always knew that the school secretaries did an enormous amount of work, but until I got out here I had no idea,â&#x20AC;? Loy says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made me realize just how large our school system is.â&#x20AC;? Loy started work at Halls Middle on July 21. She replaces Shirley Merryman, who retired.

tion office file room at the Andrew Johnson Building downtown before going to work full time for Shirley Underwood, who at the time was middle school coordinator and administrative assistant to then schools superintendent Allen Morgan. After Underwood retired, Loy went to work in the public affairs office. A Knox native, Loy is a Central High School graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has been so welcoming, I feel like a Halls person.

Balancing the crime budget From page A-1 ties, and funding for such facilities from state and local governments is shrinking as the Great Recession lingers. In Knox County, the entrance to the jail is a revolving door for many of the chronically mentally ill. Per capita, the U.S. is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most incarcerated nation. The failed war on drugs is a major contributor, and Knox County sees it share of arrests for minor drug offenses. Meth cookers, cocaine dealers and pushers of opiates such as Oxycontin must be hounded and eradicated, but laws such as Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which can land you in jail for a year for possessing any amount of marijuana no longer make sense, especially from an economic standpoint. Prohibition didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for alcohol, and it will never work for marijuana. A 2008 study by the Justice Policy Institute concluded that of the 20 states that admit the most people to treatment, 19 had incarceration rates below the national average. Jailing drug abusers is short-sighted both economically and socially. Jail the pushers, treat the addicts and the community wins. Next week weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at the Knox County Safety Center proposal (currently tabled); the effectiveness of judicial diversion; and the role that judges and prosecutors play in maintaining a justice system that keeps the community safe and makes the best use of our tax dollars.

Smithwood Elementary School Class of ‘61 reunites There were photos of Brownie Scout troops and school plays, the 8th grade class picture that used to hang on the school wall, a framed page from the teacher’s edition of the first grade reader, a second grade reader, dog tags, a Brownie uniform and even the flag pole that had stood in the school’s auditorium when the Smithwood Elementary School Class of ’61 had its 50th reunion late last month. The evening started with a tour of the Smithwood School building (now Fountainhead Technologies), where the Smithwood alums had a grand time telling stories and reminiscing about the years they spent under the watchful eye of principal Kenneth Reed, a stickler for tidiness. “The 1st graders had their own restroom inside the classroom,” Jamie Skaggs Rowe said. “It was clean as a whistle.

government Messing with the ‘messes’ Walls prepares for three audits Knox County internal auditor Richard Walls is no stranger to controversy. Walls lodged a complaint of official oppression against then-Mayor Mike Ragsdale a couple of years ago that led to a highly publicized ethics committee hearing. More recently he terminated an employee who was accused of sending vulgar email messages to Commissioner Amy Broyles. Now his office is preparing to launch three successive “hot potato” audits. First up is the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, to be followed in order by “material” audits of the Public Building Authority and the Hardin Valley Academy construction project. The Beck audit is fallout from the debate which erupted when Mayor Tim Burchett cut the center’s funding by 92 percent in the current budget. Commissioner Jeff Ownby requested the PBA and Hardin Valley Academy audits. Considering that County Commission recently approved an ordinance giving that body authority to contract outside audit help for internal audits, there’s a certain irony in Walls taking on three assignments that are Walls likely to consume the better part of a year for his small staff. But for Walls it’s another day at the office. “There are only two kinds of audits,” Walls says, “big messes and little messes.” All three of the upcoming audits have “big mess” written all over them. Beck will require the least time to complete. Walls expects the audit to be done before the next meeting of the Audit Committee on Sept. 13. But this project begins under the shadow of thinly veiled references to misuse of public funds on the one hand and subtle charges of racism on the other. To be sure, no public figure has made either charge directly. Still, the heated debate over Beck doesn’t make Walls’ job easier. Walls says he’ll approach this audit in typical fashion by assessing the risks of error or malfeasance on the part of the client. He’ll look closely at cash receipts and expenses, or “money in and money out” in auditing shorthand. Risk assessment can be formalized, although the auditor’s experience and subjective evaluation play a role in determining what areas of the books get the greatest scrutiny. When tens of millions of dollars are involved, the auditor may be tempted to change his methodology. Yet even the PBA and Hardin Valley Academy audits will be subject to the same rules used in the Beck assignment. “They’re just different sized Kool-Aid stands,” Walls says. Indeed. Hardin Valley Academy soaked up about $50 million of “Kool-Aid,” and many millions have flowed through PBA since its establishment. Of special interest to Ownby is PBA’s role in the Hardin Valley project. Sandy Loy, who owns Construction Plus Inc., has been the sharpest critic of PBA’s involvement in building Hardin Valley Academy. A certified construction manager, Loy has recommended a County Commission sponsored task force to study PBA’s practices. Ironically, an argument in favor of outside auditors for internal audit work was to avoid suggestions that the audit process was politicized. All of these audits may be warranted, but politics is the engine driving all three requests. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

Write-in candidate for 5th District race? There could be a new candidate in the 5th District City Council race by the time this publication hits the street.

Betty Bean Last week, multiple sources confirmed that interim City Council member Charlie Thomas, appointed in January to fill the seat vacated 11 months early by Bob Becker, was preparing to declare himself a write-in candidate. Only one candidate – Mark Campen – filed the paperwork to run by the June 16 qualifying deadline, and his will be the only name on the Sept. 27 primary ballot. In city elections, the names of the top two votegetters in the primary go on the general election ballot, and the only hurdle a writein candidate must jump is to get at least 25 qualified voters to ask for write-in ballots.

one candidate, it incites a kind of lethargy. I asked if he had considered going on and running. Since then, he’s talked to every council member. He was very concerned.” While some might say Thomas has waited too long to start running, there is precedent for such a race. In 1989, Gary Underwood mounted a write-in campaign for the District 1 City Council seat that unseated longtime incumbent Hoyle Charlie Thomas Photo by B. Bean McNeil, who was also the vice mayor. Mark, they just think that Underwood – who enthe 5th District voters need joyed considerable help a choice.” from supporters of Mayor Council member Chris Victor Ashe, whom McNeil frequently defied – won the Woodhull concurs: “I feel very comfortable general election. The upwith Charlie deciding to run ending of the once-powerful and I don’t think it violates McNeil forever after served the spirit of any promise. I as a lesson in consequences was in a conversation with to other council members. At midweek, Thomas was him about a month ago lamenting the notion that cautious about revealing his there wasn’t going to be any intentions. “I’ve been apkind of discussion in the proached, I’m listening to district about the issues in what they have to say and this race. If you only have I’m thinking about it.”

Write-in candidates must file a declaration form 50 days before the primary – by noon Monday, Aug. 8, as confirmed by administrator of elections Cliff Rodgers. Another hurdle Thomas could face is the pledge he made not to run for a full term. This could turn into a speed bump if the people to whom the promise was made – his City Council colleagues – don’t relieve him of the obligation. Third District Council member Brenda Palmer says the reason she wanted the appointee to promise not to run for the seat was to create a level playing field. “There were so many applicants for the interim seat, I expected that one or more would step up and run. But none of those people stepped up, and I think that releases him from any pledge he made. When there’s an open seat it’s always good to have competition. I have heard from a number of people, and it’s not that they dislike

The ins and outs of write-ins Early voting in the city elections and state Senate special primary starts Sept. 7, about 30 days from now. Many residents outside the city and some Farragut residents can vote in the Republican primary for state Senate which effectively decides who the next senator is, as Democrats have apparently decided not to contest the election to fill the Jamie Woodson seat now held in the interim by Sen. Sue Atchley. Residents outside the city make up more than 65 percent of the population of the Senate district. The city contestants have been determined except possibly in the 5th District (previously represented by Larry Cox and Bob Becker) where Mark Campen (who was an interim County Commissioner) is running unopposed. Currently, the seat is held by Charlie Thomas who many feel might like to continue in the position, but he feels constrained since he told Council, which appointed him, that he would not run for the full term.

write-in votes to be placed on the ballot, he said he would have to think it over. However, it was apparent he has enjoyed his limited time on council and the departure of Becker has shortened council meetings considerably. Since 1989, the law has changed to require the writein candidate to sign a form with the Election Commission declaring his/her candidacy. If someone actually won more than 25 write-in votes and was the second place winner, it is unclear if those ballots would be counted if he/she had not signed a form of candidacy. However, it seems a violation of one’s federal constitutional rights not to count one’s write-in ballot for whomever it is cast even if the recipient had not authorized the write-in effort. This column is not advocating a write-in candidate against Mark Campen who is an able, committed person, but is simply outlining what has to happen if it does occur. This write-in situation once occurred against Jean Teague, and she was able to thwart it by running her own

Victor Ashe

There are repeated rumors that a write-in for Charlie Thomas might occur. This has only succeeded once. That was in 1989 when Vice Mayor Hoyle McNeil was unopposed for another council term and Gary Underwood launched an unannounced write in campaign to get on the ballot. A minimum of 25 write-in votes are required to secure a spot in the runoff, and Underwood received more than 70. Then, to the surprise of most, he defeated McNeil to become the first person to win a council seat with a write-in beginning. He served 12 years on council. A few weeks ago, I asked Thomas directly if he was running a write-in campaign. He said “no.” Whether he has changed his mind today I do not know. When I pressed him as to how he would respond if he received enough

write-in candidate (Louise Zirkle) who came in second and then declined to allow her name to go on the ballot against Teague who was her longtime friend. The other write-in was third and not eligible for the runoff. Who knows what will happen in the 5th District.

Notes ■ It seems unusual that a city judge and mayor may be elected on Sept. 27 if they receive 50.1 percent of the vote, but none of the at-large council candidates will win if they receive 50.1 percent or more of the vote.

How a slammed door swung wide open

then imploded. That school had a 40 percent transient rate.” In 2002, Greg applied along with 85-90 others to become head football coach at the newly-opened Kell High School. He got the job. “It was an opportunity to build from ground zero.” During its first year of varsity football in 2003, the team posted an 8-2 record. That same year, the school was rocked by an outstanding debt scandal. The principal and vice principal were forced out. Greg says he soon learned he, too, was being investigated. He told the county school officials, “I have nothing to hide.” Three years prior to the incident, Greg says he had brokered a deal

with a vendor and that later a group that included the man with whom he’d brokered the deal, took off on a deep sea fishing trip in which everyone split the cost of the boat. “We used to do that in Louisiana all the time. We get down there, the seas are too high and we can’t go fishing. So he pays for dinner for all of us on that Friday night.” Three weeks into football practice that next season, Greg was fired. “It made headlines day after day in the local paper. Kids were holding protests. It was ugly. You know, I’d always been hard-driving in my career and I wondered, ‘OK, God, what are you teaching me here?’ ” He went home and got to spend

more time with the two children he and his wife, Kelly, had at the time. “Normally, in the fall, I’m on the football field. It was a wake up call.” He looked at other careers and tried to figure out what he was going to do with the rest of his life. “During a storm, sometimes you can’t tell whether the light in front of you is a (beacon from a) lighthouse or a train coming. You have to be still. Don’t make rash judgments. I had to look at how this was going to affect my family.” He learned that Woodward Academy, the largest private school in the United States, was looking for a linebacker coach. “I talked to them on a Wednesday, interviewed on Thursday and was offered the job on Friday.” The school, which is located on the south side of Atlanta, has a long and proud history. It was founded in 1900 as the Georgia Military Academy and became a co-ed school in the 1960s. Its tuition is roughly $20,000 per year and it has a student population of 2,700 in grades Kindergarten through 12. Greg earned an Ed.S and a doctorate. He is now the team’s defensive coordinator and teaches physical education for grades 4 through 6. Several years ago he began speaking at Frank Glazier Mega Clinics, an educational coaching seminar, and was named one of the top seven speakers in the country last year. This summer, he’s worked four camps for the National Football Academy, one at the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. “It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Being the No. 2 guy, it allows me the freedom to focus on my family. This fall, all of my kids will go to school there. My kids wouldn’t have had the opportunity to go to such a great private school otherwise.” The Vandagriffs now have three children: Brock, 9; Anna Greer, 7; and Audrey, 5. “It all goes back to those small decisions, listening to advice that was given to me by my high school coach, by my (college’s) athletic director and listening to God’s still, small voice.” One door closes. Another opens. Just ask Greg Vandagriff.

leaving. I could ease the boxes from one step to the next, and so on, all the way down the stairs. Her best friend from college came to help us move the couch out of the upstairs office, and the three of us wrestled it downstairs. Another friend in the neighborhood helped dismantle the antique armoire that had belonged to Jordan’s paternal greatgrandmother. It is more than 9 feet tall and put together with pegs. When its top is lifted off, the whole thing becomes as unstable as Jell-O. Taking it apart (or putting it together, for that matter) is a daunting task. When Moving Day arrived we went to rent a truck. This young woman – who just yesterday, surely, I wrapped in a yellow blanket and carried home from the hospital in my arms, the West Virginia snow falling all around us – climbed in that 15-foot truck and

drove it home like a pro. Jordan backed it into her old driveway and was so mad at herself that it took two tries. (For the record, on the next trip, she did it in one!) Her new next door neighbors were moving out on the same day Jordan was moving in, and two of them came over and offered to help carry in the couch. Feminine pride and independence extends only so far in the Memphis heat, so we accepted the offer with alacrity. When all was said and done, we were exhausted, and both of us had bruises on arms and legs to prove that we had worked like longshoremen. But, as one friend of mine had predicted, there were “moments of delight.” As we worked, we talked about the fact that we had spent more time alone together in that week than we ever had before. When Jordan was living at home, growing up, there were always other

family members around. After she left for college, her sister, Eden, and I had some years together, just the two of us, but Jordan and I had never experienced that. We laughed together, shared hurts, hopes and dreams, told each other things that neither of us had ever told anyone. We worked together, teaming up to figure things out. We shopped some, for things she needed in her new place. We made copious lists, and sometimes remembered to consult them. When the church bells of St. John’s Episcopal Church (right across the street from Jordan’s house) summoned me to worship on Sunday morning, I slipped into a pew and knelt there in heartfelt thanksgiving for all of God’s mercies, for blessings beyond counting and in fervent prayer for my Jordan: my firstborn, my daughter, my friend.

PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe (Author’s Note: This is the second installment of a two-part series about Greg Vandagriff, a 1986 Halls High School graduate who played football at Tennessee Wesleyan and went on to coach in Louisiana and Georgia.)

on’t tell Greg Vandagriff that the phrase “when one door closes, another one opens” is just a cliché. One got slammed in his face after he’d reached the pinnacle of his profession. He says it proved to be the best thing that ever happened to him. After hearing that Tennessee Tech didn’t have a graduate assistant position open, Greg graduated from Tennessee Wesleyan that May and figured he’d keep an appointment with Larry Kerr, his high school football coach, about returning to Halls High School as an assistant. Then the phone rang. It was Tech. The grad assistant had backed out. “Are you still interested?” Greg was on campus by July 1990 and ultimately earned a master’s degree in education with a concentration in health and physical education. “It might as well have been nuclear engineering the way they made it,” Greg says. “But with my background in history, I was able to handle the writing.” As a graduate assistant, he worked with defensive coach Mike Smith, who now coaches the Atlanta Falcons. “The best piece of advice I can give anybody who wants to be a football coach is to be a graduate assistant. I found out that I really had zero idea about football until I became one. You work 12-15 hour days during the season, so you can’t help but learn football. I coached outside linebackers. It was a wonderful experience.” After earning his master’s, Greg got the opportunity to go to Christian Life Academy in Baton Rouge, La. He knew it was the right move

for several reasons. “It was God tapping me on the shoulder saying, ‘Hey, you need to go get your life straight.’ I needed to be in a Christian environment.” Phil Ironside, who had played quarterback at Halls, came to Christian Life during Greg’s second year. In Greg’s five years as defensive coordinator and head baseball coach, the football team went 50-13 and the baseball team went 97-37.

At left: Greg Vandagriff today is defensive coordinator at Woodward Academy in Georgia. Above, Brock and Greg Vandagriff pause for a grin after a game. Photos submitted “We got beat in the state championship my last year.” That last year, Greg also served as assistant principal. He jokes that he was “starving to death” and briefly took a job working for Primerica. “I made more money than I’d ever made in my life but I couldn’t sleep a wink, worrying about commission.” So, in the fall of 1997, he headed to Cobb County, Ga., where he took a job at Wheeler High School, spending two years there before becoming head football coach at Campbell High. He inherited a program that had won two games in three years. During his three seasons at Campbell, the football team posted records of 1-9, 3-7 and 4-6. “We were 4-3 at one point and

helped my daughter move into a new house last week. Jordan had found the cottage of her dreams, complete with ivy, roses and a white picket fence. It even came with a fenced backyard so that Emma and Zoe, the Labs, would have a place to romp, lie in the sun and chase imaginary (or real) rabbits.

Jordan, who was an English major and whose first job out of college was at Davis-Kidd Booksellers, owns more books than the Library of Congress (which may be a slight exaggeration, but it certainly felt like it when I was packing them). “Gravity works” was my mantra as I hauled books down the staircase in the house she was

The extraordinary architect HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

David Getaz (1849-1912)

lthough the 100th anniversary of the architect’s death occurs next year and although most of his buildings were built well more than a century ago, many Knox Countians pass some of them daily and experience their timeless elegance. His was one of the French-Swiss families who were so influential in the development of businesses in the city and in North Knox County, especially in the Smithwood/Beverly area – including the Babelay, Berney, Buffat, Chevannes, Dovat, Gouffon, Guinard, Rochat, Sterchi, Truan and other families. The architect, David Getaz, was born at Tullins, France, on Nov. 22, 1849, the son of Louis David Getaz (1816-1888) and Henriette Lavanchy (1816-1883). When the religious revival of the 1840s swept through Vaud, Switzerland, Louis David Getaz was called to become a minister of the Free Protestant Church. He soon fled to France to escape religious persecution and was chosen to manage the grounds of the Turettini estate at Jussy near the French Alps, where his eight children were raised. He also continued to minister to local Protestants. Young David served an apprenticeship as a carpenter there but, in about 1871, he moved to Paris, where he studied architecture. He could not find employment in Paris so he decided to immigrate to America. He arrived in Knox County in 1874 and soon found employment with Daniel Felix, another French-Swiss immigrant in the Smithwood community.

In 1889 Getaz designed and built this home at 505 E. Scott Ave. The family occupied the 11-room Victorian mansion with stable and carriage house until 1894 when they moved to 315 E.

Best athlete? Good question TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

ernard King was back in town the other evening as keynote speaker for the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Sarah remembered that I once considered him the best athlete ever at Tennessee. And elsewhere? There have been some other good ones here and there in six and a half decades of watching hundreds of college games, several Olympics, many Super Bowls, World Series baseball games, NCAA Final Fours and assorted lesser extravaganzas. Perspective? When you think of how many play from Little League up through high school and how few become college starters and how few of those become pros and how few of those become world superstars, “best athlete” takes on serious significance. On the assumption that the once-

in-a-lifetime greatest would play more than one sport, I missed him. Jim Thorpe was before my time. He won two races in the 1912 Olympics, finished fourth in the high jump and seventh in the long jump. He was twice an All-American halfback for the Carlisle Indians, offense and defense, punter and place-kicker. He played pro football eight years and major league baseball for six. He hit .327 for the 1927 Boston Braves. He is featured in three halls of fame, college football, pro football, and track and field. Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis were better than average runners and jumpers, winners of an entire collection of Olympic gold medals. Jesse dominated at Berlin but didn’t get invited to the White House. I saw Bo Jackson run and I saw Tennessee knock his block off when

married Carrie Coffin, daughter of Hector Coffin, who was prominent in local business. David Getaz Sr. earned his U.S. citizenship on Feb. 10, 1886. Later in that same year, he and Maggie and their 4-year-old son David Jr. visited Getaz’ father in France and relatives in Switzerland, the only trip they ever made back to Europe. In 1889 Getaz designed and built his home at 505 East Scott Ave. The family lived in the 11-room Victorian mansion with stable and carriage house until 1894 when they moved to 315 E. Fifth Ave. The architect’s courtly European manner was enhanced by the top hat and gold-headed cane that accompanied him around town. Desiring the same Old World image for his two daughters, he made a beveled full-length mirror for each of them and advised them, “Before you leave your room, look yourselves over carefully. See that you are pleased with your appearance. Then, forget about yourselves and think about the persons you are with.” From 1890 to 1892 Getaz was

superintendent of the Southern Car Company, which built eight to 10 freight and mining cars each day and employed 150. He also helped organize the Knoxville Mantle and Cabinet Company in 1893. In 1906 his oldest son, James, came into the architectural firm and they built several large projects, including the Carnegie Concert Hall in Lewisburg, W.Va., and the Blue Ridge Conference Center in Black Mountain, N.C. A long-time member and elder of Fort Sanders Presbyterian Church, David Getaz passed on to his reward at home on Sept. 19, 1912, at age 62. Margaret survived him by 26 years and died on June 12, 1939, at age 84. They are buried in the family plat in Greenwood Cemetery.

Freedom School makes learning fun

Baptist Church

A church you will call home!

By Wendy Smith It may be school, but it looks more like a party. There’s singing, dancing and music loud enough to make a red-blooded American mother yell, “Turn that noise down!” And it’s all happening at 8:30 in the morning. It’s called Harambee, and it’s the way every school day starts at the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom School at Tribe One. The six-week summer program is designed to help underserved kids in grades 3 through 8 fall in love with reading, feel good about themselves and have a positive attitude about school. “Harambee” is the Swahili word for “pull together.” As the 50 students, or “scholars,” dance around the room and interact with their young teachers, or “servant leaders,” it’s clear that this school is a fun, and safe, place to learn. This year’s Freedom School ended July 29, but the experience will have a lasting impact. The program’s integrated reading curriculum immerses kids in books. By the end of the summer, elementary-age students read 23 books, including a chapter book, and middle schoolers read six novels. Participants don’t suffer learning loss over

Montina Jones, Knox County Schools Senior Advisor for High Needs Schools (right) dances with servant leader intern Thuy Pham during Harambee at the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom School at Tribe One. Jones read “Our Enduring Spirit: President Barak Obama’s First Words to America” to the program’s 50 participants. Photo by Wendy Smith the summer, and some will start the new school year with better reading skills. But the benefits go beyond academics, says Tribe One Executive Director Stephanie Davis. “It’s an extremely important program, and not just for improvement in reading and language. The kids are strengthening themselves to beat the odds.” This is the second year Tribe One has hosted Freedom School. Students are registered on a first-come first-served basis and

come from several different schools. Half of last year’s students returned this year, and some brought friends. “The biggest compliment is when parents refer friends to our program,” says Davis. Parents play a big role in the program. In addition to supporting their student, they are expected to participate in evening workshops. This summer’s sessions included information about healthy eating, breast exams and the county’s juve-

nile justice system. “It’s important for them to understand national statistics about black boys. One in 3 born in 2001 or after will be incarcerated at some point in their lives,” Davis says. The program also emphasizes that the scholars are part of a larger community, and regular field trips

allowed students to experience places they might not otherwise visit, like the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and the Knox County Public Library. The Tribe One Freedom School wouldn’t have been possible without community partners like the Boys & Girls Clubs, the YWCA and the library, says Davis. The program’s $50,000 price tag was covered entirely by local grants. She’d like to see other Knox County organizations host Freedom Schools in the next few years, but acknowledges that it would require teamwork. “It really is the best summer program in the county, but we need continued support to make sure we can continue to operate.”

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 8, 2011 • A-11

Called to play There’s a passage in the Bible that lists different spiritual gifts. It’s a list as long as your arm that ends with “And some are called to pray.” I remember hearing a comedian talk about his hyperactive kid, saying “Some are called to pray, but I am called to play!” Well, Daniel is called to play, and so am I. During Daniel’s first three years, I worried about play. I don’t know about you, but after 20 minutes or so, peek-a-boo seems about as exciting as a tepid bowl of plain oatmeal. The first time we ever played together was fascinating. He had just started sitting up, and the game involved banging two balls together and throwing them on the floor. Like all the fi rsts, it was as though I’d discovered a potted plant reciting Shakespeare. The realization that there was a little person in there, someone who could participate, was just stunning. Of course, that wore off. As we progressed through the various stages of infant and toddler play, I worried that I’d grown up, become too stodgy to have a good game of pretend. These days, play is what Daniel does best. He loves games that involve other people. He loves a good game of catch, tag or water guns. He likes kicking the soccer ball back and forth. As a sci-fi geek in training, he also enjoys a good lightsaber duel.

moms101 He’s also learning to play board games, and my big play breakthrough came while playing Candy Land with my boy. Daniel can follow the rules up to a point. He doesn’t like our pieces, those little plastic gingerbread men, to get too far apart. If we do, he rushes his piece ahead or moves mine up with him. He wants Mommy to hold his hand on that multicolored path. While yet another game dissolved into a joint trip to the candy castle, I remembered playing Candy Land as a kid. It wasn’t just a game. It was an almost real journey past friends and foes. Who won and lost was important. So important, in fact, that Daniel wants me to hold his hand past the molasses swamp all the way to the candy castle. Lately, I’ve been having real fun playing games with Daniel. When we’re passing the soccer ball, I’m not secretly wishing I was reading a book. And when he wants to throw the ball instead of kick, I remember 3-yearold me, and the fact that the rules aren’t nearly as important as the game.

Hello, Dolly! Two-year-old Ella Riggs of Powell, who is shown in the arms of her aunt, “Mammie” Bettie Mynatt, attended Dolly Parton’s “Better Day” concert at Thompson-Boling Arena on July 17. Parton delighted Ella’s family when she asked the toddler’s name and age from the stage. The singer then asked if Ella was dressed like a fairy princess, and mom Denise Riggs responded, “She’s dressed like you!” Ella and her brother, Eli, enjoy books from Dolly’s Imagination Library program, which received proceeds from the concert.

Small business boosts economy According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses (those businesses with fewer than 500 employees) represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms, employ just more than half of all private sector employees and have been responsible for creating 64 percent of all net new jobs over the past 15 years. The importance of small businesses in our economy is indisputable. That’s why First Tennessee Foundation is proud to support the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) and its work going back to the early 1990s – an investment that has paid exponential returns in terms of economic impact in the 16-county region it serves. The TSBDC counseled 839 people and helped launch 56 new businesses in 2010 alone. The mission of the TSBDC, located on Market Square, is to provide free counseling and training for those interested in starting

Through working with Rob Karpick, senior business specialist at the TSBDC, Sellers identified two areas of opportunity for improvement that generated immediate results and is continuing to look for additional improvements. “We’ve seen huge changes, and we’re only into Week 3,” said Sellers. We’re honored to be able to support organizations like the Tennessee Small Business Development Center that, in turn, help so many in our community to be successful, allowing them to contribute to our local economy through new job creation.

Bags come in a rainbow of green By Wendy Smith It’s a lucky milk jug indeed that finds its way into a JulieApple bag. Julianna Applegate designs bags made from recycled and local materials and sells them out of her shop at 121 South Gay St. But don’t be fooled by the “green” label. The silky feel and stylish details of her purses, totes and travel bags measure up against high-end brands. The funky fabrics she designs for her bags sets them apart. She finds inspiration for her patterns in vintage textiles and her children’s artwork. She developed her skills while working for LeSportsac, a career that took her from New York City to Dandridge, where the company had a factory, and eventually back to New York when she became vice president of design. In 2007, Applegate started formulating plans for her own company. She came up with a business model based on sustainable manufacturing and fair trade. Through her experience in the field, she knew that recycled fabrics could be printed with a method that uses air rather than water, thus reducing pollution and saving energy. She also wanted to be sure that anyone who touched her bags – those who helped make them and those who bought them – would be treated fairly. By 2009, Applegate had moved to Knoxville with her husband and ordered her first batch of bags from a factory in the Dominican Republic. Her online store, www.JulieAppleStore.com, was up and running. She takes samples of new designs to the factory and works closely with the employees to make sure that they are in a good situation, she says. “Everyone who works all day should have something to show for it. People shouldn’t be working endless hours to stay in desperate poverty.” Her product line is limited by her commitment to fair labor. Customers have

Greenway under Henley Bridge reopens Designer Julie Applegate sells bags that are made from recyclable and sustainable products from her store at 121 South Gay St. Photo by Wendy Smith asked for wallets, but she hasn’t yet been able to find a way to manufacture them without charging what she feels would be an unfair price. She opened her Gay Street shop in April of 2010. In addition to her bags, the store showcases the work of other artists. Katie Walberg’s illustrations from a graphic novel titled “Traveling Trashball” currently hang on the studio’s walls. Applegate plans to display the work of a new artist each month. She doesn’t miss her days of big design in the Big Apple. Even though her previous career allowed her to work with the likes of Gwen Stefani and Stella McCartney, she

likes running a company that’s good for both the planet and its inhabitants. She also likes Knoxville. It’s a great place to raise kids, she says, and she has an abundance of friends here, which helps with the stress of running her own business. She’s even found kindred spirits. “I love the do-it-yourself personality of Knoxville. Everybody I know who wants to do something just does it.” Applegate hopes to encourage local recycling with a RecycleBank coupon. Waste Connections recycling customers and those who participate in the city’s recycling program can redeem points earned for a 25 percent off coupon.

The section of the Neyland Greenway beneath the Henley Bridge reopened last week. It had been closed since May 6 because of bridge construction.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Sleep study pinpoints accountant’s sleep problem Afternoon meetings were brutal for Gail Wilson, 47, of Knoxville. She was sleepy and tired all the time, and she drank continual cups of coffee and caffeinated beverages to stay awake for her job in ﬁnance. “Nobody said anything, but my coworkers would keep an eye on me because they knew I would fall asleep,” says Wilson. “They would kick me under the table! It was embarrassing.” Everyone feels sleepy sometimes during the day, but for Wilson, her tiredness was impacting her work and life. So Wilson’s doctor recommended she get to the root of the problem by having a sleep study conducted at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. Hooked up to monitors recording her heart rate, breathing patterns and brain waves, Wilson spent a day and a night in the center in November of 2009 under the care of Dr. Thomas Higgins, a neurologist and sleep medicine physician at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

“If you’re struggling to stay awake, it makes it very difficult to focus.” – Gail Wilson, Sleep Center patient which is excessive daytime sleepiness. Hypersomnolence, also called hypersomnia, is a disorder of the central nervous system. It’s not considered narcolepsy, in which a person can reach the deepest, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep during the day. In hypersomnolence, patients take frequent naps during the day but do not reach REM sleep. They may even fall asleep at inappropriate times like meals or while talking with someone. However, these naps don’t leave Since treatment at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center, Gail a person feeling refreshed, Wilson (pictured with Rosie the Teacup Yorkie) isn’t fighting the and a patient with hypersomnolence is still sleepy afternoon ZZZZs any longer. afterward.

weight gain and a number of viruses or other neurological illnesses. Hypersomnolence commonly affects people first in their teens or young adulthood and is found in less than 5 percent of the population. “It made it very difficult to focus,” explains Wilson. “If you’re struggling to stay awake, you can’t pay attention as well. I had had issues off and on for the last 20 years, but I just figured it was from working all the time, from everyday life.” Dr. Higgins evaluated Wilson’s medications and put her on a medicine called Nuvigil (armodafinil), a prescription medicine to improve wakefulness. He also advised her to cut down on caffeinated drinks. She also joined a gym and has lost 20 pounds.

The combination of new medication and lifestyle changes has made a difference to Wilson. “So far it’s working. I’m doing a lot better,” she smiles. Wilson says her sleep apnea went away on its own as she lost weight, and the medication helps her stay awake better during the day. “I’ve got more energy, I don’t have to struggle with the sleepiness,” she says. Wilson says she would recommend the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center for anyone struggling with sleep problems. “It was a very pleasant experience. I was pretty nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, but the people are very friendly,” she says. “They just really made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend doing a sleep study for anybody who suspects they have issues.” For more information about treatment at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center, call (865) 541-1375.

Rest easier with Fort Sanders Sleep Center

When you need some z’s Insomnia is a common condition in which a person either has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. It affects 1 in 3 adults occasionally, and 1 in 10 adults frequently, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Odd work hours, long distance travel, stress, depression, certain medical conditions or medications and a lack of exercise can all increase your risk for insomnia. Here are some tips for falling and staying asleep: N Avoid caffeine, tobacco and other stimulants at least eight hours before bedtime. Avoid alcohol as well. While it may make you sleepy, it tends to trigger light sleep. N Avoid medications that can disrupt sleep (some cold and allergy medications, for example). N Maintain good bedtime habits. Read a book, listen to soothing music or wind down by taking a warm bath. N Exercise early in the day, at least five or six hours before going to bed. N Don’t eat or drink before bed. N Don’t watch TV or work on a computer right before bedtime. N Make sure your bed is comfortable and the room is dark and quiet. N Have pets and children sleep elsewhere. If insomnia persists, talk to your doctor about having a sleep study. An accurate diagnosis of your sleep problems can lead to proper treatment and a good night’s sleep.

There’s nothing quite like waking up after a good night’s sleep – feeling healthy, invigorated and ready to tackle the day. Conversely, poor quality or not enough sleep can cause grogginess, irritability and impaired thinking. Long-term sleep deficits can increase your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and other medical conditions. Typical signs of a sleep disorder include difficulty falling asleep at night, waking many times during the night, pauses in breathing while asleep and fatigue during the day. More than 70 million Americans – from children to teens, adults to senior citizens – suffer from sleep disorders. Far too few seek treatment. “Successfully treating a sleep problem can change your life,” says Dr. Thomas Higgins, medical director of the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “I strongly encourage anyone exhibiting signs of a sleep disorder to come see us. We can pinpoint the problem.” Treatment begins with an individual patient evaluation.

The nationally accredited Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center features luxurious Tempur-Pedic mattresses.

“Successfully treating a sleep problem can change your life.” – Dr. Thomas Higgins, Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center “Our comprehensive evaluation includes a complete medical and sleep history, a physical exam and, if needed, monitoring during sleep,” explains Dr. Higgins. “By digitally recording a patient’s brain, heart and air ﬂow during sleep, we can often determine what’s causing the sleep

difﬁculties and work together toward a solution.” The Sleep Disorders Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep/ wake disorders. The Center uses a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, with

physicians, expert consultants, experienced staff and nurse practitioners working as a team to deliver excellent patient care. To learn how the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center can help you rest easier, call (865) 541-1375.

Get Your Life Back Chronic sleep deprivation or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and unable to focus. It can also lead to serious health problems. The professionals at the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center can help you get a refreshing night’s sleep – and get your life back.

Training for Life is the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small group weight management program. It encompasses 12 weeks of training with three to five other people and a personal trainer who will guide you every step of the way toward achieving a healthier lifestyle. August 8 and 9: Free informational sessions Noon to 1 p.m., 6 to 7 p.m. August 15: Receive a discount if you register before this day! August 22: Program begins

Training for Life Pick a winning team and start losing!

he trainers at Mercy Health and Fitness Center donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in diet plans. They believe in making the kinds of changes that can improve your entire life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that takes a lot more than counting calories.

Members of the team with the best overall results at the end of the 12 weeks will each win a one-hour relaxation massage. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they have named one of their most popular programs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training for Life.â&#x20AC;? The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a diet plan; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of life!â&#x20AC;? Training for Life is the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small group weight management program and it encompasses 12 weeks of training with three to five other people and a personal trainer who will guide you every step of the way toward achieving a healthier lifestyle. Results the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trainers say are possible and realistic for each individual: 10 to 20 pounds of weight loss, an overall loss of 10 to 30 inches, a 50 to 80 percent

increase in muscular strength, a 50 to 80 percent increase in cardiovascular endurance, a marked gain in energy and an improvement in metabolism. And just like those popular TV programs we have all seen, there are rewards. Years of experience have convinced the folks at Mercy Health and Fitness Center that a little friendly competition yields motivation, so your team will be competing with other teams. Members of the team with the best overall results at the end of the 12 weeks will each win a one-hour relaxation massage. The individual with the greatest improvement will win a three-month free membership to the center. All those who complete the program will receive a free Training for Life t-shirt; participants who attend all 36 sessions will get a free gym bag. The total Training for Life program involves 32 hours with a trainer and eight basic classroom style nutritional sessions and food log reviews. The workouts involve high calorieburning weights and cardio to build lean muscle mass and help improve metabolism, cardiovascular health and strength. Workouts are set to the intensity each individual needs.

Here is what some of the trainers say they think is great about Training for Life: â&#x2013; Katie Depersio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a group setting, your teammates are counting on you to give 100 percent. I hope to make exercising something you enjoy doing so it can become a lifestyle change.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Bree House â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will learn to eat healthy on the go and at home. Plus, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot of new, healthy recipes that taste great. You will be stronger, healthier and happier.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Jake McKinnie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Group training is great because everyone motivates one another and holds one another accountable, instead of just relying on the trainer. When the group sees one person working very hard, that encourages everyone else in the group to work just as hard.

Now at our new location â&#x20AC;Ś David Lambert SagePoint Financial has moved to 2908 Tazewell Pike Suite G2

Team members also build new, lifelong friendships.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Annie Goodwin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The camaraderie is great, as is finding a workout partner for after the program ends. You will take away some very important tips for years to come.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Shaunee Wolfe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the greatest benefits is the relationships and friendships you create. I have had winning teams where the weight loss averaged around 30 pounds for the women and around 20 pounds for the men.â&#x20AC;? Free information sessions for Training for Life are being offered noon to 1 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 8 and 9. There is a discount for those who register before August 15. The program starts August 22. For additional information or to register, call 859-7900.
