Come on, people. Let’s outnumber the planners at today’s (Sept. 26) meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Powell Library on Emory Road. That wasn’t the case last week when MPC officials including the executive director, Mark Donaldson, came to Halls to discuss the North County Sector Plan. Fewer than five non-government folks were present. Sector plans set land use boundaries for 15 years. Property owners should care whether the land Linda “Snuff y” Smith, Commissioner R.

ments. The days when developers just waved a rezoning past a favorable County Commission are no more. State law has put teeth into sector planning, and it’s harder to obtain changes. Planner Mike Reynolds is heading the north sector study, which includes Powell and Halls. The area has grown from 32,391 residents in 1990 to 42,557 in 2000 and is expected to top 52,261 by 2009. MPC is taking comments and will come with a concept plan, Reynolds said. If you can’t attend tonight’s meeting, contact Reynolds at 215-2500 or mike.reynolds@knoxmpc.org/.

Landry tells ‘Heartland’ tales in Fountain City By Jake Mabe Longtime “Heartland Series” host Bill Landry drew an overflow crowd to the Fountain City Branch Library last week. Landry told tales from 25 years of hosting the popular “Heartland Series” on WBIR. He has collected some of his favorites into a new book, “Appalachian Tales and Heartland Adventures,” which was released this month. He and his crew shot 1,900 shows over 25 years. “People shoot TV today on a phone,” Landry says. “When we started, the camera weighed 20 pounds and was connected to a big metal box (the recorder) that weighed about 20 pounds and the tripod that the camera sat on weighed about 12 pounds.” That first year the gang got the idea to do stories about Mount LeConte. “Nobody had ever taken a camera on location in the Smoky Mountains. It was too expensive for local television. It took three people and you had to carry the equipment.” Somebody got the idea to let horses carry the gear. The only problem was the park didn’t allow

We managed to get up there and back.” Over the years, Landry says they told moonshine stories, Halloween stories, even World War II stories. One was about a Knoxville woman whose husband was serving in the Navy. She and a friend went to a movie house while he was gone only to see a newsreel that showed the sinking of her husband’s ship. “She was shocked and horrified. It was the first she’d heard about Longtime “Heartland Series” Bill Lan- him.” dry signs copies of his new book, “ApOne day he met Kenneth Russell, palachian Tales and Heartland Adven- who joined the military underage. tures,” at the Fountain City Library last While all of his friends were attendweek.

shows, which became quite popular. One year, somebody got the idea to do a story on “electric trees.” Only this year, they didn’t say “Happy April Fools’ Day” at the end of the show. Bill got a call from a vice president at TVA who’d heard about it from somebody working in electric power in California who’d heard about it from somebody who had a relative who lived in Blount County. They wanted to know all about this new technique. “People believe television. It’s crazy!” Whether climbing LeConte, doing a moonshine show or talking to Maynard Leadbetter, who had grown up in Cades Cove near what is now the parking lot at the park entrance, Landry always had one credo. “We’d never make anybody look bad or stupid and we’d always show respect. We would never make fun of anybody except ourselves.” Did they ever stretch the truth a bit? Landry answers in true “Heartland Series” style. “As to whether all of these stories are true, you’ll just have to take it or leave it, as my daddy used to say.”

Dawson Hollow disaster victims ‘just hanging on’ By Betty Bean “What’s going on with the development on Childress Road?” County Commissioner Tony Norman wanted to know about the June 28 detention pond collapse at a development atop Copper Ridge that sent a wall of contaminated water rolling down onto the property below. It destroyed the home of Gary and Marsha Carter, damaged Patty and David Dowling’s house and eroded their front yard, drowned wildlife and contaminated a pristine lake on Chuck and Mandy Parrott’s property at the foot of the ridge. Norman wanted to know why it happened and how such catastrophes can be prevented in the future, so he asked Public Works and Engineering chief Dwight Van de Vate for answers at last week’s commission workshop. Van de Vate absolved the county of responsibility for the past and offered limited reassurance about the future. “We will always do our best to ensure that all applicable grading, construction and stormwater management regulatory policies are

strictly observed,” Van de Vate said. He added that while new pollutant discharge elimination standards will reduce the likelihood of pond failures, there is “no plausible way” for the county to guarantee failures won’t occur. Norman didn’t disguise his dissatisfaction with Van de Vate’s response, even after Commissioner R. Larry Smith announced that developer Rufus Smith Properties has agreed to build the Carters a new home. Gary Carter, who has been living in a motel room with his wife for three months, says that Smith’s announcement is news to him, and he agrees with Norman that the county should do more to protect homeowners. “Ma’am, I have not heard that statement from anybody except R. Larry Smith when he showed up out here one day. Since that I haven’t heard anything about it,” he said. “This has been about the most miserable time of my life. Having to come home twice a day to take care of my animals and then leave it behind and go to the motel and spend

Water started coming down and I had to get off the porch or my feet were going to get wet. By noon, I couldn’t walk on the porch without walking in running water. … We’ve been dealing with this since June and we’ve got no future in sight.” Patty Dowling, whose husband, David, built a detention pond in hopes of protecting their home from the Smith Properties runoff, says her family is still dealing with runoff every time it rains. Her husband and some friends dug a drainage ditch through the yard to keep the water away from the house and they have decontaminated the bedroom where their daughters, one of whom is disabled, sleep, but there is mold in other rooms of their living space Gary Carter Photo by Ruth White and the bank behind the house is the night – it’s just destroyed the breaking down. “We haven’t suffered nearly as way I think, the way I do and the bad as the Carters, but our problem way I act,” he said.

Young Life camp made impact on Newsom By Ruth White Early this summer, a motorcycle ride was put together by the Blood Brothers Motorcycle Club (a motorcycle club comprised of current and former law enforcement officers) to honor Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, who were both murdered in 2007. The event raised more than $3,000 to benefit Young Life’s Campership Fund which is used to help send Knoxville high school students and their Young Life leaders to fall weekend camps and weeklong summer camps. At Young Life camps, kids get away from the pressures of everyday life, have fun with friends and their Young Life leaders, and hear the message of God’s love in terms they can understand. Newsom attended Young Life camp at Windy Gap, N.C., and it had a major impact on his life. His parents selected Young Life as the beneficiary of this year’s event, while Christian’s family directed the other half of the proceeds to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank.

The Halls Crossroads Women’s League is selling a new cookbook, “Crossroads Cooking,” as a fundraiser for the League’s community projects. It is a product of the Women’s League’s preservation committee, chaired by Peggy Beeler and Doris Smith. Member Shirley Merryman chaired the cookbook committee. “It contains 530 recipes all from ladies in the League,” says Merryman, “so they’re all tried and true.” Recipes are featured in eight categories: appetizers and beverages, soups and salads, vegetables and side dishes, main dishes, breads and rolls, desserts, cookies and candy, and this and that. “Some of the members got together and cooked some of the recipes,” Merryman says. “We’re just tickled to death. It all turned out wonderfully.” The cookbook is dedicated to League member Virginia Heiskell Sharp, who passed away last December. Cookbooks are being sold for $15 and can be purchased by emailing Shirley Merryman at melbashi@ yahoo.com.

Photo submitted ver Brook. Leuthold said the state of Tennessee requires that property be reassessed either on a four, five Leuthold or six year cycle. Knox County reassesses property on a four year cycle. The next reassessment is scheduled for 2013. “Over time, you have inequities in property value,” Leuthold said. “We will usually inspect every piece of property in Knox County and our field appraisers make sure what they see from the road matches the records.” Leuthold said many believe that reassessment means the county will receive “a windfall.” But he says that Knox County has to come up with a certified tax rate that will net the county the same amount of money as the year before. “This protects the property owner.” Leuthold says that every property owner has the right to appeal a reassessment. One option is conducting an informal appeal by calling the property assessor’s office to send an appraiser to take a second look, which is free and usually takes about two weeks. The other is to go through

the formal appeal process which begins by scheduling an appointment through the property assessor’s office during the last week of May to go before the local Board of Equalization, which meets during the month of June. From there, a formal appeal can be brought to the state Board of Equalization and, finally, one can file suit in Chancery Court.

Football team goes ‘One way 2 Play’ drug free

Halls High football coach Kevin Julian reports that the team has committed to the “One way 2 Play” drug free program conducted by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Players have committed to stay drug free and have been assigned accountability partners. “This is a tool for the athlete to use in order to stay clear of hurdles that they may face during the season when it comes to being tempted by drugs or alcohol,” says FCA program director Dwayne Sanders. Champion Physical Therapy has partnered with Halls High football to sponsor the team shirts for the last six years.

Emory Road â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cow pathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; completion scheduled By Larry Van Guilder Construction could start next summer on the longawaited widening and rerouting of Emory Road in Powell. State Rep. Bill Dunn calls the current road â&#x20AC;&#x153;five lanes leading into a cow path.â&#x20AC;? BRINK (Better Roads in North Knox) president Clark Hamilton prefers â&#x20AC;&#x153;an old wagon trail.â&#x20AC;? By any name you choose, improvements to this final segment of Emory Road are due. Dunn and Hamilton were among a group of citizens and East Tennessee lawmakers who met with Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer in Nashville last week. Both came away highly pleased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very positive meeting,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very encouraged.â&#x20AC;? He added that the meeting brought â&#x20AC;&#x153;good newsâ&#x20AC;? for Powell, Halls and Union County. In addition to the Emory Road project, work on state route 33 (Maynardville Pike) from Temple Acres Drive to the Union County line should begin by summer.

Dunn expects contracts to be let on the Emory Road work as early as February or March. Although the project is entirely funded by the state, uncertainty about Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of federal funds factored into the timing of the project. The design calls for construction of a five-lane road on the south side of Beaver Creek, joining Clinton Highway beside the new Walgreens. The new road will bridge the railroad tracks and eliminate the low spot that frequently floods. The existing road will serve local traffic to downtown Powell businesses, residential areas, and the high and middle schools. Hamilton praised Dunn, state Sen. Randy McNally and state Rep. Steve Hall for their efforts, and he sees more improvements coming to the area soon. He noted, for example, that traffic routinely backs up for more than a mile at Emory Road and Callahan exits from I-75. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commissioner agreed thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not acceptable,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said.

Mayor ‘sees the light’ on Carter Elementary School “I think the light’s at the end of the tunnel on the Carter project,” Mayor Tim Burchett said at last week’s County Commission work session. Today’s commission vote will reveal whether that light is a rising sun or an oncoming train. In the words of Commissioner Tony Norman, the process for building a new school “got so convoluted and curious” that predicting commission’s decision has become a slippery business. Tim Burchett Questions about the Devon Group’s abrupt withdrawal linger, and parents with children in other decaying schools are beginning to ask how Carter jumped to the head of the line. If the project stalls, it’s better for Burchett if commission gives the thumbs down. A school board rejection could cast the mayor and the school board as adversaries for the next three years, an outcome that benefits neither. Alternatively, if the commission signs off and the school board says no, Burchett remains a hero in East Knox County. However, his pledge to use the money raised to reduce debt if the Carter project fails could cost him support from parents in other parts of the county. But first things first: how will the commission vote? ■ 1st District: Sam McKenzie’s skepticism is welldocumented. McKenzie is solidly for renovation and against building a new school. He votes no. ■ 2nd District: Some blamed Amy Broyles for Devon’s pullout. That’s farfetched, but Broyles is an emphatic no. ■ 3rd District: At the work session, Norman said, “It was always so curious why (Partners Development) wasn’t selected to begin with,” given their experience with school construction. Norman wants to consider the proposal objectively, but is leaning toward no. ■ 4th District: Jeff Ownby supported a new school for Carter while campaigning for his seat. He hasn’t explained why residents of his district should care, but he’ll vote yes. ■ 5th District: At a recent commission meeting, Richard Briggs opined that building a new school was not a good use of tax dollars. He probably votes no, but Briggs has been known to backtrack. ■ 6th District: There’s little reason for him to support the project, but Brad Anders has signaled he’ll vote yes. ■ 7th District: Conditions at Shannondale and Adrian Burnett should give R. Larry Smith something to think about, but he leans yes. ■ 8th District: Dave Wright votes yes. ■ 9th District: Mike Brown votes no unless a deal emerges for New Hopewell, which appears unlikely. ■ At-large Seat 10: Mike Hammond goes with the mayor and votes yes. ■ At-large Seat 11: Ed Shouse is leaning yes, but against his better judgment. The results: ■ Solid yes: Ownby, Anders, Wright and Hammond ■ Solid no: McKenzie, Broyles and Brown ■ Leaning yes: Smith and Shouse ■ Leaning no: Norman and Briggs The mayor needs to keep Smith and Shouse on the reservation. The loyal opposition needs to hold on to Briggs and Norman and pick off either Smith or Shouse. The former is much easier, making the most likely vote 6-5 or 7-4 in the mayor’s favor.

Winning: Madeline Rogero The outcome of a mayoral election boasting more candidate forums than voters is tough to predict, but that’s what we do here at the Shopper-News, so here goes: Madeline Rogero is going to take this thing in the primary. Despite having four opp one nt s and being dubbed “ T h a t Woman” by Rogero Republican men who professed to be scared to death of her, she will get the necessary 50 percent of the vote and then some, sparing us the agony of another two months of endless appeals to the lesser angels of our natures over things like red light cameras and homeless shelters (if Ivan Harmon had made the runoff) or commercials about running government like a bidness delivered by

Betty Bean the slickest talker this side of Ron Popiel (if Mark Padgett had made the runoff). Joe Hultquist and Bo Bennett won’t be factors, although Bennett’s pleasant manner and perseverance have probably won him a lot of new friends. Hultquist, not so much. By the end of campaign season the gimmicky pseudo issues he was throwing against the wall (dismantling KUB, building a campus for the homeless) were not only not sticking, but were largely being ignored. Not a single news outlet of which I am aware covered his appearance at a recent school board meeting when he promised to increase the city’s already substantial voluntary contribution to the county schools.

Harmon and Padgett are locked in a close contest for second. Harmon ran some early feel-good TV spots casting himself as a helpful neighbor who fi xes old ladies’ mailboxes, but he petered out in the home stretch, probably because he has had difficulties raising money. Harmon is clearly hoping to cash in on the nationwide Republican surge with endorsements from county GOP figures like Sheriff J.J. Jones, party chair Ray Hal Jenkins and County Commissioner Jeff Ownby, whose recent robocall to likely voters was paid for by the Committee to Elect Ivan Harmon, but which took an odd, nasty swipe at City Council candidate and former County Commissioner Finbarr Saunders, whom Ownby defeated last year. It remains to be seen whether an overt pitch to fellow Republicans will overcome Democrat Padgett’s

Country living on Mullins Mountain One of the funniest books to come along in awhile was written by local Realtor and raconteur Sonny Mullins. Sonny memorialized the book to his big brother, Jim, who was murdered Sept. 22, 2009, at his store on Rutledge Pike. And while this tragedy touched Sonny to his core, he worked through the pain by recounting tales of life on Mullins Mountain, where every man and boy

called the others “bubba.” Sonny writes of his onearmed daddy and his mother, Gracie Lee. He writes of his wife, Patsy, a long-time teacher at Central High School, and his “one or two hundred cousins.” He writes of the first time an airplane flew over Mullins Mountain. The Rev. Mullins declared the end of time had come and gathered all his kids and neighbors

phenomenal fundraising ability. Padgett has gained ground, but the runner-up slot is too close to call and doesn’t much matter. There’s an old school saying among campaign operatives: Money finds the winner. Rogero, whose great strength is her strong, citywide base, has consistently lagged behind Padgett in fundraising – until now. In the Sept. 20 financial disclosure, Padgett raised $135,215. Rogero took in $139,054, besting him by $4,000. On Tuesday, Madeline Rogero will be poised to make history. She will become not only Knoxville’s first woman mayor, but the first Tennessee woman to become mayor of a city of this size. The spectacle of this lifelong Democrat prevailing in one of the most reliably Republican regions of the country will finally give Tennessee Democrats a little something to cheer about.

■ Had time to review those financial disclosures? ■ Marilyn Roddy spent more than $70K in printing with an out-ofstate firm. So much for bringing jobs to Knoxville! ■ Lamar Alexander is taking a break from Republican Party leadership (he holds the No. 3 spot in the Senate) to concentrate on issues of importance to Tennessee. Lamar has looked increasingly uncomfortable touting the hard as concrete right wing talking points. Good move, Lamar! ■ Becky Massey put out the best piece of comparison campaign literature that I’ve seen. For instance, she says four words: “Opposes red light cameras.” Then she cites a Jan. 29, 2009, News Sentinel article reporting that Marilyn Roddy voted for red light cameras as a member of City Council. ■ Massey goes on with taxes, homeless housing and GOP support. ■ Best of all, her flyer was printed and mailed in Knoxville. ■ Four council seats are up; all will go to the November general election. Here’s our best guess for the top two vote getters from each district in order of finish: ■ District 5: Mark Campen, unopposed ■ Seat A: George Wallace, Paul Berney ■ Seat B: Marshall Stair, Bill Owen ■ Seat C: Finbarr Saunders, Ron Peabody.

Inspecting the inspectors Construction violations trend with economy By Larry Van Guilder “Anyone in construction will sooner or later receive a notice of violation (NOV),” says Chris Granju, who heads Knox County’s Stormwater Management department. The department’s records back that up. From 2008 to the present, NOVs were issued to companies at 35 different business addresses for EPSC (Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control) violations. The number of NOVs per address ranged from five to 25, and 15 were assessed civil penalties of more than $1,000. Not all the penalties were collected. Penalties of $31,750 were levied on the Westland Manor

and Towering Oaks developments for 19 EPSC violations, but the developer went under after paying only $3,000. The county collected an additional $20,000 when the company forfeited its performance bond. Issuing the NOV does not guarantee swift compliance, as Gary and Marsha Carter found out on June 24 when a detention pond collapsed sending a torrent of muddy water into their home on Dawson Hollow Road. As reported in the ShopperNews in August, a stormwater inspector issued an NOV to Southland Excavation on June 6 for defects in the detention pond and gave the company 15 days to fix the problem. On

June 22 Southland asked for more time. On June 24 the pond collapsed. Stormwater records show 21 NOVs issued to the Southland Group and Smithbilt LLC between 2009 and 2011 for nine developments. There is no record of civil penalties assessed. Dwight Van de Vate, director of Public Works and Engineering, says the department’s goal is to put itself “out of business” where violations and civil penalties are concerned. Granju echoes that philosophy, saying the goal is to educate, not punish, the developer. “The last resort is to have Knox County go after the money,”

Granju says. Clearly some builders and developers need education. Van de Vate recalls one who poured five gallons of oil in a creek and incurred a $5,000 penalty. “Autozone will take it for free,” Van de Vate says. “Today’s NOV is 1995’s, ‘Hey, can you put up that silt fence’?” Granju says. And despite horror stories like the Dawson Hollow Road disaster, Van de Vate says “enforcement is better now than it’s ever been.” Granju notes that a developer not in a position to complete the work is probably not in a position to pay a fine. The faltering economy has placed a number of local developers and builders in

that position. “The economy has buried the marginal developer,” Van de Vate says, and the number of foreclosures is “more than we’ve ever had.” Stormwater inspectors performed 623 site inspections during the first quarter of 2011, even as the worst new building market in decades persists. Granju says a consultant study in 2005 concluded that the department needed 17 inspectors “per that paradigm.” But the rules and the “paradigm” change frequently. Phase II of the EPA’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System for stormwater management makes that certain. “Five years from now, the needs will be different,” Van de Vate says. Granju agrees. No developer is asking for more regulation and stricter enforcement, but no one wants another Dawson Hollow.

Women mayors have a long history Madeline Rogero may soon make local history as the first woman mayor of the city of Knoxville. If elected, Rogero will follow a path blazed by Susanna Madora Salter in 1887 when the 27-year-old Kansan was elected mayor of Argonia, a small town near the south central border of the state. Argonia, a Quaker village of less than 500, became nationally and internationally known when Salter became the first woman elected mayor in the U.S. Ironically, women did not win the right to vote in national elections until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, three decades after Salter made history. Writing in the Kansas Historical Quarterly in 1954, historian Monroe Billington recounted how “a certain group of men in Argonia” resented women intruding in political affairs and determined to humiliate them. They had ballots printed with Salter’s name

Larry Van Guilder

on them without her knowledge or consent. When the local chair of the Republican party saw the ballots, he asked Salter if she would run if elected. She agreed, and with the help of votes from members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was elected. Mayor Salter had the last laugh in more ways than one. She lived to the age of 101, dying in 1961. (Living long is sometimes the best revenge.) Closer to home, May Ross McDowell became the first woman mayor of Johnson City, Tenn., in 1961. A graduate of what was then East Tennessee State College, now ETSU, and the East Tennessee Law School,

McDowell enjoyed a distinguished career before her death in 1988 at the age of 90. Among her many honors, she became only the second woman to receive the U.S. Department of Labor’s highest award, the Certificate of Meritorious Service, in 1964. In 1965 she was named the first “Distinguished Woman in Residence” at the University of Colorado. Last January, the third oldest city in Tennessee, Parrotsville, swore in its first female mayor. Mary Keller, 68, is retired, but her part-time service as mayor keeps her occupied. “Sometimes when you go to bed at night you wonder, ‘What was I thinking?’” Keller says. “But we’ve been real busy trying to put Parrotsville back on the map.” Keller says the town of less than 300 is in the process of renovating the local baseball field as well tennis and basketball courts. She’s also preparing for festivi-

First Presbyterian celebrates colorful history DOWNTOWN … | Wendy Smith

irst Presbyterian Church on State Street is Knoxville’s oldest church, and a few episodes in its long history were highlighted during the recent East Tennessee History Fair. Samuel Carrick is believed to have founded First Presbyterian in 1792. He would later found Blount College, which eventually became UT. Knoxville founder James White donated a parcel of land that was once a turnip patch for the church’s first permanent home, which was completed in 1816. The church’s current pastor, William Pender, portrayed former Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison during a reenactment of a dramatic moment in the church’s history. Harrison, who was pro-Confederate, let it be known from the pulpit that he didn’t think Unionists could be Christians. Union First Presbyterian Church member Pat Armstrong stands beside Abner Baker’s obelisk in the church’s graveyard. Photos by Wendy Smith

Ken Creswell and First Presbyterian Pastor William Pender portray an incident famous in the church’s history when Civil War-era pastor William Andrew Harrison was arrested for anti-Union sentiments.

General Ambrose Burnside heard of Harrison’s remarks, and the pastor was arrested in the midst of a sermon in 1864. First Presbyterian member Kelly Norrell shared the history of church’s stained glass windows. Four of the oldest windows, which date back to the early 1900s, are thought to be the work of Flora and Ruby MacDonald of MacDonald Glassworks of Boston. They are made of opaque glass, which was considered less distracting to worshippers than translucent glass. The MacDonalds were paid $10,000 for the commission – an enormous sum at the time. Two other windows are attributed to Louis Comfort Tiffany. One is a large window that was later divided, and the halves are now on either side of the church’s State Street entrance. The other is in the sanctuary. Tiffany was commissioned to create a third window, but its location is unknown. One window was covered up when the balcony was built in the 1925, and Norrell wonders if it could be the missing Tiffany work. The windows are all memorials to First Presbyterian members. The newest window was installed in a church

Louis Comfort Tiffany is credited with creating the stained glass windows that adorn either side of the church’s State Street entrance. parlor earlier this month in honor of Rosa Scott, who led a popular Bible study for many years. Pat Armstrong conducted a tour of First Presbyterian’s graveyard. Ten percent of the graves belong to Knoxvillians who succumbed to an 1838 plague, Armstrong said. Church founder Carrick is buried in the corner closest to the intersection of State Street and Clinch Avenue, supposedly to be close to the first home of Blount College, which stood in the Tennessee Theater’s present location. James White is also bur-

ied there, along with three members of U.S. Congress – William Blount, John Williams, and Hugh Lawson White, son of James. But the most colorful character in the cemetery may be Confederate soldier Abner Baker. Baker’s father, Dr. Harvey Baker, was shot by Union sympathizers in his home, the historic Baker Peters House located at Kingston Pike and South Peters Road. After the war, Abner returned to Knoxville and hunted down his father’s murderer. But his revenge was short-lived, for he was later hung by Unionists.

GROWING UP COUNTRY Do You Remember When…?

SONNY MULLINS

This book is a captivating read brimming with stories that did not come from newspapers, history books, or the internet. They spring from the heart of a man who wants to share the joys and beauty of life to his family and the many following generations. In “Growing Up Country”, Mullins shares how they grew up without a lot of things – among them, indoor plumbing, central heat and air, carpeting, garages, TV, video games, microwave ovens, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, and many others. Despite that fact, they were rich in enjoyment of everyday life, and they created enduring memories that 60 years later touch his heart, bring a tear to his eye, and put a smile on his lips. Through this book, readers will ﬁnd a glimpse into the author’s family’s life and journey and shares the warmth and happiness of the life that they experienced.

Passion Conference is church on steroids By Natalie Lester University of Tennessee seniors Wes Stokes and Margeaux Hill agree the annual Passion Conference for college students in Atlanta changed their lives. “It made me stronger, because it brought different topics to light that I would have never thought about,” Stokes said. “It opened my eyes that life is more about God than it is about me.” “It has made me question myself,” Hill said. “I’ve learned to look at the real condition of my faith versus what it looks like to outsiders.” In anticipation of the conference in Atlanta Jan. 2-5, 2012, Stokes, Hill and other university students attended the Passion University Tour stop at Fellowship Evangelical Free Church on Middlebrook Pike. The tour is making its way to 12 university campuses nationwide in preparation for the conference. It seeks to attract students who are part of the Passion movement, which exists to see a generation stake their lives on what the organiza-

tion’s founders believe matters most. Stokes and Hill said the conference was unlike any religious event they had attended. “It is just a unique experience to see so many college students love and worship Christ,” Hill said. “It is comforting to know there are so many collegeage kids who are passionate about their faith like you are, because you don’t always see that played out in your daily life,” Stokes added. “It is just so much bigger than anything I have ever been a part of. It is church on steroids.” The Passion Conference began in 1997 with a desire to see spiritual awakening come to college campuses. The movement is headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga. The Passion Team is led by Louie Giglio and operates under the direction of a board that is committed to spreading faith to the more than 20 million college students in America.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 • A-9

Brand new teacher, brand new class By Betty Bean The first thing Central High School Health Sciences teacher Chris Hammond does upon welcoming visitors to his brand-new classroom is to explain that it’s going to look pretty different when he gets the hospital beds and the lab installed. This time last year, Hammond, who is teaching 58 students in three Health Sciences Education classes – in a former cosmetology classroom that he can’t wait to get the mirrors taken out of – was working in the University of Tennessee Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit as a registered respiratory therapist. When he heard that Knox County had openings for Health Sciences teachers at Central and Fulton, he applied for both. He says he’s enjoying his work at Central. “The whole purpose of this program is to introduce students to the healthcare field,” said Hammond, who grew up in the Powell area and graduated from Clinton High School in 2001. He got an associate’s degree from Pellissippi, a bachelor’s in cardiopulmonary science from East Tennessee State University, and later got his

Health Sciences teacher Chris Hammond with Cletus, his teaching aide. Photo by Betty Bean teacher certification. He says he originally wanted to become a history teacher and was inspired to enter the profession by a Kayla Watson, a French teacher he had in high school. “She made learning fun and wasn’t as much concerned with letter grades as with us learning the material and having fun. Back then not a lot of teachers were like

that,” he said. “The unique opportunity here is that I’m building a program from scratch, which allows me a little more flexibility. I have to adhere to certain standards, but it’s exciting to be in on creating something brand-new. “We don’t go too in-depth now – we’re learning vital signs and breath sounds and

we’re going to learn CPR toward the end of the semester. The whole purpose of this program is for the students to find out whether they like the medical field, and finding out that they don’t like it is as important as finding out that they do. “At least they won’t go to college and waste their parents’ money and their time on a bunch of classes they decide they don’t like. This program is for them to give it a test drive. They may at least learn something that might save someone’s life one day – or even their own.” Hammond said most of his students are interested in nursing or becoming doctors, with a few thinking about allied health fields like respiratory therapy or X-ray technician. He anticipates having up to 75 students working through the four-course program, which will include a clinical internship. “The advantage these students will have is, if they’re wanting to go into the medical field, this program is going to prepare them for college and give them a leg up. They’ll be familiar with medical terminology. They’ll know CPR. They’ll have a distinct advantage.”

HHS volleyball team honors seniors Halls High volleyball team members honored senior players for their leadership and hard work. Honored members were team captain Caitlyn “Goose” Adams, Stephanie Bridges and Nicole Turner. “This has been a terrific group of seniors to work with,” said coach Jerilynn Carroll. “They are hardworking, good leaders and have always represented our community, school and team in a positive way. We hate to see them go.” Photo by Ruth White

Loy challenged each staff member to wear their PJs, too, and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d donate $1 toward the coupon book campaign for every staff member who did. Here, Loy, principal Tim Wiegenstein, assistant principal Terry Nieporte and secretary Cindy Fratus are all decked out in their best nightclothes.

Buffalo or basketball Behold Buffalo on the football horizon. Fortunately, basketball is near enough to be a substitute subject. To quote a past president, “Let me make one thing perfectly clear …” Cuonzo Martin is not Bruce Pearl. Never was. Won’t be. He is not a natural promoter, of himself or others. He is not a marketing major. He is spirited and determined but something less than flamboyant. ESPN will have to get along without much of his help. You are not likely to see him in orange body paint. You are not likely to see his team in the second round of the NCAA tournament. If it answers the opening bell, Martin should be coach of the year. His Vols have been picked as low as last in the Southeastern Conference. As with most new coaches, he has this job because there were problems. Cuonzo faces a difficult task, which is one reason the dearly departed Mike Hamilton more than quadrupled his Missouri State pay and presented a five-year contract. Ah yes, I remember it well … “Cuonzo is among the most promising young coaches in the game, and we are excited about the coach-

ing ability, toughness and energy that he brings to our program,” said Hamilton. In more ways than one, the former athletic director and the former coach contributed to the overall difficulty. The schedule is daunting. There is good and bad. Tennessee gets to play in Hawaii. Tennessee has to play Duke. The only interruption in the SEC schedule is defending national champion UConn at Thompson-Boling on Jan. 21, just past the middle of a dangerous segment that could result in nine losses in 10 games. Give that some thought. Here’s what I know for certain about basketball: There is a critical link between recruiting and records. Great players make coaches seem much smarter. Going all the way back to Emmett Lowery, before Ray Mears, the best Tennessee teams had the best players. It is almost impossible to win on the road when rivals get top talent and you get

good kids with heart and hustle. Much better story if it happened the other way but no go. Martin says his team will play hard. That won’t be enough. In fact, anything less would be an embarrassment. The upcoming Volunteers need to play smart and somebody must rebound now and then and somebody must stick a few balls into the basket. To be blunt, I don’t know who that might be.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 • A-13

Walgreens ‘Volprentice’ challenge Central High graduate and UT senior Erin Norton had her feet firmly planted on what she thought was the perfect career path for her, but after participating in a UT class partnership with Walgreens, she’s considering a detour.

Anne Hart

On the second day of school this fall, Dr. Nancy Rutherford’s retail class (in UT’s Department of Retail, Hospitality and Tourism Management) heard from a Walgreens executive with a challenge: divide the class into five teams, each team develop a different UT-related product, Walgreens will sell each team’s product in a different one of five stores in the Knoxville market and the team that makes the greatest profit will be named the “2011 Walgreens Volprentice.” All jokes about Donald Trump and his “Apprentice” TV program aside, the students have taken this project seriously, and have learned a lot about doing real business in the real world.

Erin Norton and Jaime Bridgman model T-shirts they helped design for a UT class project sponsored by Walgreens. Photo

Dr. Rutherford calls the project “very exciting,” and says of her students, “It’s amazing how creative they are.” Erin says it has been so much fun and such a great challenge that she may change her career path from women’s wear buyer in a department store or a boutique to product development. She says she and her fellow team members – Lee Smith, Taylor McCorkle, Jaime Bridgman and Nikita Johnson – with only two

weeks to develop a product and one week to get it produced, immediately decided to do a T-shirt or sweatshirt, designing several different logos before choosing just one – a checkerboard design. “We designed it with three-quarter length sleeves so it can be worn through the football, basketball and baseball seasons.” As part of the project, each team visited the store where its product would be sold to develop information about the demographics of

shoppers at that specific location. “We are in the Walgreens on Middlebrook Pike at Cedar Bluff Road,” Erin says. “We were told by the store manager that the typical shopper there is a middle aged woman buying for her husband and kids, so we had that in mind when we did our design.” After completion of the design, Knoxville’s Bacon & Co. produced the Tshirts. Last week Erin and her fellow team members were at the store setting up the display. Rutherford says the students won’t just sit back and wait for shoppers to stroll into the store. They’re now hard at work on various marketing strategies – social media included. The contest ends on Oct. 18, and here’s how you can participate: visit Erin’s team’s store on Middlebrook Pike or the other Walgreens participating in the project on Chapman Highway, Clinton Highway at Merchants Road, Northshore Drive near Kingston Pike or Peters Road at Kingston Pike. UT will receive a portion of the proceeds to fund instructional programs. If you do your holiday shopping early, you can choose the next “Volprentice.” Contactannehartsn@aol.com

Are you ready? Rural/Metro encourages 72-hour emergency supply kit Rural/Metro and our fellow public safety agencies have extensive response plans and resources in place to respond to major disasters, but it still may take time to reach everyone during such an emergency. It is important for individuals to be prepared. September is National Disaster Preparedness Rob Month, which encourWebb ages Americans to work Division General together to take concrete Manager of actions toward emerRural/Metro gency preparedness. One such step is to create a 72-hour emergency supply kit. Recent storms and disasters across the world have demonstrated that it may take several hours, and even days, for first responders to reach everyone. Basic services like electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones could be cut off for a week or longer. Our team is trained and prepared to respond during a mass disaster. But to help protect yourself and your family until help arrives, Rural/Metro highly recommends that everyone have a personal 72-hour emergency supply kit. Items for a basic emergency supply kit include: ■ Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation ■ Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food ■ Battery-powered or hand-crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both ■ Flashlight and extra batteries ■ First aid kit ■ Whistle to signal for help ■ Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place ■ Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation ■ Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities ■ Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) ■ Local maps ■ Cell phone with (auto) chargers Some additional items to consider include prescription medication and glasses, infant formula and diapers, pet food and extra water for your pet, weather appropriate clothing, important documents, matches and activities for children.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Health writer thrives after surviving colon cancer As a health care reporter for a Knoxville public relations firm who routinely researches and writes about medical conditions and diseases, Michelle Henry knows how fortunate she is to have survived Stage IV colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death for cancers that affect both men and women. “I’m very fortunate and I feel fabulous now,” says Henry. “But having cancer is deﬁnitely not a piece of cake.” The active 47-year-old mother of two was caught off guard when she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in late 2009. “My family and friends were shocked. I was always so healthy, always ate the right things,” says Henry.

“I couldn’t believe I had cancer. I felt good and was still active and working.” – Michelle Henry,

Are YOU at high risk of colorectal cancer? Anyone can get colorectal cancer, but there are some identified risks for the disease, from the National Cancer Institute: N Age 50 or older. N A family history of the disease, or of any cancer. N A personal history of colorectal cancer or cancers of the breast, ovaries or endometrium. N Previous polyps in the colon. These are small pieces of bulging tissue. Colorectal cancer survivor Michelle Henry and her son Evan celebrate their birthdays recently by going skydiving.”

As part of her treatment, Henry endured three months of chemotherapy and six weeks of radiation. She then had surgery to cancer survivor remove a 10-inch section of her colon and 14 lymph nodes.

know what to expect, but the Fort Sanders staff was quick to answer my questions and make me feel at home.” Henry was especially appreciative of her surgeon, Dr. Midis. “I was so impressed with him. I really trust him. He was wonderful!” In November 2010, Henry also underwent a procedure to reconnect her colon and address cancer that spread to her liver. Henry is now “cancer free” and her treatment deemed a success. “Now that I’m better I want to let people know that they can be diagnosed with a terrible cancer and still live to be OK,” says Henry. She says early detection is especially important.

N Colon diseases such as ulcerative colitis, or Crohn’s disease, Lynch Syndrome, or HNPCC (hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer). Some risk factors for cancer can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. Regularly exercising and eating a diet low in fat and high in fiber may reduce your risk of colorectal cancers.

Henry believes her writing background helped her deal with her cancer. “I had spent so much time interviewing people struck with illnesses that I understood how quickly life could change in one instant. It’s like God prepared me for what I had to face,” she says.

Radiation oncology at Thompson Cancer Center: Light years ahead At Thompson Cancer Survival Center, radiation therapy technology is light years ahead of what’s available in many area hospitals. Thompson is the ﬁrst facility in the world and the only facility in Knoxville to offer TomoTherapy. This advanced radiation machine combines CT imaging technology with an “intensity modulated” radiation treatment for precise targeting of virtually any tumor in the body. “The beams are very accurately focused on the tumor,” explains Thompson Cancer Survival Center radiation oncologist Dan Scaperoth, M.D. The more focused the radiation beam, the less damage it does to healthy tissue surrounding a tumor. “TomoTherapy uses CT scans to make a picture of the tumor,” Dr. Scaperoth says. “We can overlay this image of the tumor onto the original

weeks. It takes about 15 minutes per treatment and is painless,” he says. “The side effects accumulate, with irritation to the bowel and bladder, and tiredness being the most common. Our goal is to eliminate the tumor cells and spare normal cells.” Dr. Scaperoth says the precision of the TomoTherapy machine is especially helpful for cancers that are in very tight spots such as the prostate, brain or certain lung cancers. “We do a good job at staying state-of-the-art at Thompson Cancer Center and Covenant Health,” TomoTherapy’s helical beam delivers a precisely shaped dose to areas of says Dr. Scaperoth. “We stay ahead interest with minimal radiation to areas at risk. of the curve here, with some of the scan before every treatment.

Surgical treatment for colorectal cancer Colorectal cancers are the second leading cancer killer in the United States, and they’re on the rise. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 139,127 people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2006. The same year, 53,196 people died of the disease. Colorectal cancer is any cancer that develops in the tissues of the colon or rectum, which are both part of the body’s intestinal tract. The colon is the large part of the intestine, while the rectum constitutes the last 6 inches. When colon cancer spreads beyond the polyp, surgery is the most common ﬁrst treatment. Fortunately, for most patients, laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions, is a surgical option. “More than 90 percent of colon cancer patients are candidates for laparoscopy,” explains Fort Sanders Regional surgical oncologist Dr. Greg Midis. “But, it is critical that patients seek out a surgeon who does laparoscopy for colon surgery regularly.” The incisions made for laparoscopic surgeries are typically just one-fourth or one-third of the length of what surgeons call “open” surgery. That can result in quicker healing and often as much as a 50 percent shorter hospital stay, says Dr. Midis. If cancer is in the rectum, however, open surgery is the most common approach, Dr. Midis adds. “The best way to avoid a big or little surgery is to get your colonoscopy,” advises Dr. Midis. “And then you won’t need it.” A colonoscopy test is a key to catching colorectal cancer and other intestinal problems early.” During a colonoscopy, a colonoscope (a thin tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing) is inserted in the rectum and colon. The colonoscope also has a tool to remove polyps and take tissue samples that can be checked for cancer. Because the colonoscope can remove a polyp during the test, it can often prevent the need for more extensive surgery later. For more information about diagnosing and treating colorectal cancer, call (865) 673-FORT (3678) or go to fsregional.com.

It’s time for the ultimate etiquette class for canines as the HALT program kicks off again this fall. Not only do the dogs in this program have tons of potential, but they show their young trainers that they, too, have great potential of their own. The HALT program (Humans and Animals Learning Together) began in 1987 and has since paired hundreds of at-risk adolescents with dogs from local shelters. The kids come from centers for treatment of substance abuse and behavioral problems, among other issues. With the help of a canine obedience instructor, the dogs receive training while at the same time teaching their young trainers

A freon undercharge of only 10% can make your unit run longer & cost you 20% more. Up to 80% of compressor failures are due to not having unit serviced regularly. A dirty coil will increase your electrical usage & shorten the life of your unit. By having your unit serviced on a regular basis (just like your car) it will save you $$$ & last longer. If your unit & ductwork are more than 20 years old it is costing you money. Installing a new High Efﬁcient unit can save you up to 40% in operating costs. Sealing & insulating old ductwork or new ductwork will save you money also.
