‘Broken eyes, unbroken spirit’ Blind golfer plays in North Knox Rotary tourney By Ruth White

A car accident took David Meador’s sight at the age of 18, but it never stole his spirit. “I’m very happy with my life,” he said. “Through blindness I have learned that it’s important to let go.” Meador is a two-time (and current) United States Blind Golf Association national champion and is currently president of the USBGA. He was inducted in to the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in September and continues to use his story to encourage others. Meador’s story is one worth telling and something he began to document during his second round of chemotherapy to treat Hodgkin’s disease. His book, “Broken Eyes, Unbroken Spirit,” tells the story of his journey following the car accident that took his sight. Playing golf without sight is amazing, but not quite as amazing as Meador’s attitude about his life. The loss of his sight forced him to slow down and assess every situation. He says he has learned a lot about his own

Meador doesn’t let his lack of vision keep him from seeing what is truly important. Meador and his wife, Connie, met in college at Southern Illinois Univer-
sity, where she was a reader for him. They fell in love, and 40 years later, their love still overflows. They live in Nashville and traveled to Knoxville last Friday to help
his friends at the North Knox Rotary Club with their annual golf tournament at Three Ridges, which benefits the Cerebral Palsy Group Home in Fountain City.
Town Hall ablaze over crematorium By Betty Bean

The managing partner of Gentry-Griffey Funeral Home heard an earful last week from Fountain City Town Hall members who are angry that his company is building Knoxville’s first crematorium in the heart of Fountain City. Town Hall members told Eric Botts they didn’t learn of the crematorium until it was a done deal. Board member Carlene Malone said while she doesn’t see any legal basis for halting construction, Gentry-Griffey – purchased three years ago by Evergreen, which consists of Jim Clayton and business partners Richard Ray and Tim Williams – has angered Fountain Citians by pushing ahead with its plans with no public notice. “There are a lot of people calling members of this board,” she said. “You’ve caused a lot of bad feelings where you could have helped yourself incredibly by explaining.”
“That’s what I’m here to do tonight,” said Botts, who came here from Cleveland, Tenn., where he ran a crematorium for several years with no complaints from Botts the neighbors. Botts said he didn’t talk to community groups here before going through the permitting process “because I wanted to make sure I could do this project.” He said there is a market for cremation services that his company hopes to fill. Town Hall board member Robbie Arrington said he doesn’t consider that a sufficient explanation. “Why in the heart of Fountain City?” Arrington asked. “I drive past there four times a day, and I don’t want to see a long line of hearses going to your building, driving by hundreds of kids who
come to Fountain City Lake to feed the ducks. That’s not the atmosphere anybody wants to see.” Past president Jamie Rowe said she is concerned about the effect of chemical emissions on small children, pregnant women and older people who frequent Fountain City Park, Fountain City Lake and the numerous schools, preschools, churches and restaurants nearby. “There are no federal regulations because the funeral industry lobbied against them,” she said. “Actually, what you have are county regulations,” Botts said. “That’s even scarier,” Rowe replied. Botts said he does not anticipate handling bodies from other funeral homes, although he thinks the crematorium will boost business at Gentry-Griffey. Board member Michele Carringer said she has doubts about that: “I’m very disappointed,” she said.

“My family has used your funeral home in the past, and we welcome new businesses, but not when we’ve been blindsided. Typically, that’s not a good way to do business in the Fountain City area.” Fourth District City Council member Nick Della Volpe wrote a letter to city regulators after the meeting registering his constituents’ complaints. He asked how this use could be permitted in an O1 (office) zone and why his constituents were not consulted before the city approved the crematorium as an “accessory” use for a funeral home. “They feel this industrial use is inappropriate in a public use, parklike and residential area. Concern about fumes, (also possible hazardous wastes including trace elements of cadmium, mercury, etc) released to the atmosphere, extra hearse traffic near the duck pond as other facilities haul their dead here for roasting.”
Connor Road bridge project returns A project that first came to County Commission’s attention in 2007 is finally set to get underway. The one-lane bridge on Connor Road over Bull Run Creek will be replaced at a cost of about $750,000. The state will provide 80 percent of the funding and Knox County will foot the remainder. Jim Snowden of Knox County Engineering and Public Works said the project has been in the system for over two years. “We are just now seeing right of way acquisition,” Snowden said. “By this time next year the bridge will probably be complete.” The contract with the Tennessee Department of Transportation calls for Knox County to complete work by Dec. 31, 2012. – Larry Van Guilder

Halls Has It! in Hawaii K AILUA, HAWAII – Turns Halls High 15 years ago, out that Halls Has It! even dropped me a line on Facein Hawaii. Pull up a chair book. and let me tell you about it. “Let’s try to get together when you get over here,” he said. “I know Oahu like it is Fountain City!” We called Dewayne the Jake day after we arrived in HoMabe nolulu. “Hey man,” I said, “we can come to you if you don’t The last thing I expected want to drive all the way to find while honeymoon- into Honolulu.” “I try to avoid Honolulu,” ing in Honolulu was a high school classmate. Imagine Dewayne says. “I kind of live my delight when Dewayne in the Mayberry of Hawaii.” Perry, a guy I hadn’t seen Kailua is indeed quaint since graduation night at and laid back, a welcomed
respite from the hustle and bustle (and road construction) of Honolulu. It just so happened we’d be in neighboring Waimanalo near dinnertime to see what we could see at the Eve Anderson estate, better known as the house used as “Robin’s Nest” during the filming of TV’s “Magnum, p.i.” in the 1980s. (Read more on Page A-6). So, Dewayne picked the pub and we met him for pupus. (Before you start laughing too loudly, keep in mind that pupus are Hawaiian for appetizers.) When I told Dewayne I didn’t think I’d seen him since that night we all almost crashed on the Knoxville riverboat during Project Graduation (don’t ask), he nodded his head. “Yep, I reported to basic (training) three weeks later.” Dewayne and I weren’t best buds in high school, but he was one of those guys who always made you smile when you saw him. I remember we took Jewel Brock’s algebra class to-

gether and shared a mutual affinity for baseball (even if he is a Yankees fan). I also asked him if he remembered us singing Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little 16” on a karaoke machine during the graduation voyage on the Tennessee River. “Yeah,” he said. “I sang Elvis at a karaoke place while in Japan. I thought to myself, ‘Jake would be proud.’ ” Dewayne, my pal David Romas, who was also in Hawaii on the Honolulu portion of our honeymoon, and I found out our wives are all named Jennifer. The Perrys and the Romases even share the exact same June 1999 anniversary date and Jennifer Perry hails from David’s native Detroit, Mich. When Jennifer Perry told
us her baby is due in March, David and I looked at each other. We share the same birthday. “If this kid is born on March 13, this is really going to be eerie,” I said. After dinner we walked over to the beach near Dewayne’s house. He told David and me about his tours in
Iraq and Afghanistan and what he does for the Army. He and I swapped stories about teachers and girls and things we remember from yesteryear. Finding a little slice of Halls in Hawaii was an extra dab of icing on the cake that was a perfect trip to paradise.

‘Big’ media miss week’s best forum By Betty Bean Last Tuesday was a double-decker forum day for Madeline Rogero and Mark Padgett. They started at a morning meeting of the Knoxville Inner City Ministerial Alliance (KICMA) and ended at an evening forum sponsored by the South Knox Neighborhood and Business Coalition (SKNBC). The South Knoxville meeting got media coverage, but KICMA was more fun. At first the candidates sounded like Democrats who agree about core issues like Voter ID, the new state law requiring voters to produce a photo ID at the polls. Voter ID was very much on the mind of the Rev. Charles Lomax, who mentioned the 96-year-old Chattanooga woman who was recently denied a voter ID because the name on her birth certificate didn’t match her married name. “Within the AfricanAmerican community, especially the older population, that kind of thing is going to be an issue,� he said. Rogero said she opposes Voter ID. Padgett, who runs a government software company, agreed and said
it’s hard enough to persuade people to vote when the unemployment rate is at 10 percent, bringing the topic back to his key talking point – job creation. Sparks flew when he said Knoxville can’t afford to do “a U-turn� after having a good run during businessminded Bill Haslam’s seven-year administration. He pointed to other successful “business� mayors – Corker and Kinsey of Chattanooga and Bredesen of Nashville. “If you’ve never created a job, you don’t know what it takes, and you’ll end up doing things that hurt small business,� he said. “He’s saying nobody in this room is qualified to be mayor unless they’ve started a small government contracting business,� Rogero shot back. “You have created jobs right here in your churches. You know about real estate, transportation and finances. What makes you not qualified to be mayor? Is he the only one who understands about creating jobs?� She said that Chattanooga’s renaissance began under the guidance of Gene Roberts, mayor from 19831997. Roberts was a jour-

nalist, a government public information officer and an FBI agent prior to running for office. He presided over the beginning of waterfront development and pushed for the 1995 purchase of the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant that is now the site of the much-prized Volkswagen manufacturing plant. “He understood Chattanooga and organized Chattanooga Venture,� Rogero said. “He had the Lyndhurst Foundation, business people and church people involved in a series of meetings where they envisioned what Chattanooga could be.� “Madeline’s really good at twisting my words,� Padgett responded. “My point is that business experience is valuable experience to have. Moving Knoxville forward is not as simple as saying ‘I’m for education.’ I’m for a strong economy.� Padgett pushed his “Padgett Plan.� Rogero pushed her experience in city and county government. Neither gave a millimeter. This one may (or may not) be close, but it’s going to go the length of the bar and into the street.

Picnic in the park “Where else would you rather be on a gorgeous weekend?” Gov. Bill Haslam asked attendees of the Legacy Parks Foundation luncheon in South Knoxville on Friday.
Madison Williams Gov. Bill Haslam
Hope for the term limited Last week, while in the process of putting together a story on the redistricting plans, I chanced upon vital information that until now had somehow eluded me (and a lot of others, as you’ll see). This is how it happened. I’m using pseudonyms to protect the guilty. Commissioner X: That plan moves Commissioner Y out of his district, but that means he’ll get to serve (if elected) two additional terms. Me: Uh, right. I’ll admit I was skeptical. Could such transparent if unintended chicanery be the answer to skirting those hated term limits? I consulted the Charter and could not find evidence to refute Commissioner X’s bold stratagem. Perhaps we were on to something that even former Mayor Mike Ragsdale’s wily staff had overlooked. So, I tried (OK, not very hard) to solicit the opinion of the county’s former CEO. If Commissioner X was right, it might not be too late for Ragsdale to move to Blount County (clearly out of his “district”), hire a good attorney to plead his case and demand a special election in a bid for a third term as Knox County Mayor. Mind you, I was not motivated by any ill feelings toward the current mayor. Mine was the same curiosity that inspired scientists to ask why the blowfish blows and the glowworm glows. I saw this as a grand experiment in political science. Sadly, I was unable to track down our former mayor, who may or may not be in Kosovo cutting trade deals for electrical supplies. Still, the possibilities opened up by Commissioner X’s insight were dazzling. Just by moving in some cases a few blocks down the road, former commissioners who thought their day in the sun had ended could have hung on indefinitely. Would this have violated the spirit of the law if not the intent? Let’s be honest – most wouldn’t be bothered. With the notable exception of Madeline Rogero, Bee DeSelm and yes, Ragsdale a few years back who term limited themselves off County Commission when not required to do so, politicians who wouldn’t slip through a loophole to stay in office are unknown in these parts. There’s no need to restrict innovative thinking to County Commission seats. Besides commissioners and the county mayor, from time to time we elect a trustee, a county clerk, a property assessor, a register of deeds, a sheriff, a circuit court clerk, a criminal court clerk, a law director, an attorney general, assorted judges and a partridge in a pear tree, the last only in odd-numbered years. These folks don’t represent “districts,” but – stay with me – what if they banded together and decided that term limits need not be a problem. What if they formed an organization so strong that it was a near certainty one of their numbers would always hold office in Knox County? This group could seize and hold on to power year after year, constantly reinforcing itself by limiting access to elected office to one of their own. Brilliant! What? They’re already here? And they’re called what? Oh, yeah. Republicans.

Haslam, a longtime “supporter, advocate and friend” of Legacy Parks, delivered the keynote speech after Carol Evans, the Foundation’s executive director, spoke about the group’s current initiatives, which include creating Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness – a system of parks, trails, greenways and forests in South Knoxville. In fact, after an uphill bus ride we gathered in the woods near the blue KUB water tower for lunch prepared by Gourmet’s Market. The site, overlooking the Tennessee River, is part of that urban wilderness. The event attracted a who’s who of Knoxville’s business and government leadership. We spotted Phillip Fulmer, Victor Ashe, Cynthia Moxley and Mark Padgett. We sat at the table with Madeline Rogero and
Jim Haslam pulls his wife, Natalie, close for congratulations following the surprise announcement of Natalie’s Garden in her honor in the land preserved by Legacy Parks Foundation along the South Knox Waterfront. Photos by S. Clark Tommy Schumpert. This was an exciting experience for a Shopper intern. Almost overwhelming. Call it whelming. Haslam recalled “new governor’s school” where he met some 30 colleagues. Every one had run and been elected as a “jobs governor.” Haslam realized each was competing to recruit the same businesses to his or her state. “It’s really a competitive field. … You have to make sure that you have infra-
structure and educational opportunities, a skilled workforce … and everything you need to attract jobs,” Haslam said. “But what (decision makers) really want is a place where they can live and build their business. “We’re about creating places where people want to live, and efforts like this (the Legacy Parks Foundation) are critical to achieving what we want to do,” he said. Legacy Parks promotes a healthy lifestyle and it helps
the economy by promoting tourism, Haslam said. He brought along Susan Whitaker, the state’s tourism commissioner. “Legacy Parks Foundation is doing great work,” Haslam continued, “… what they do is pretty unique … it’s a treasure.” Legacy Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that works to assure that Knoxville and Knox County have great recreational opportunities and that local natural beauty and open spaces are preserved. The annual $100 per plate fundraiser is its major source of income. “Legacy Parks is helping Knoxville be the type of place where people choose to live, work and raise a family,” said Haslam. “Somewhere along the way, people figured out that this is a great place to live.”
Where are the issues? The runoff campaign for mayor is half over which is good news because the discussion to date has been anything but enlightening. Numerous charges and counter charges have emerged. Both Padgett and Rogero are better than their public statements. Padgett has set the agenda so far, although Rogero will likely prevail on Nov. 8. It all started when Padgett won the support of the other mayoral candidates. It is a free country and they have a right to back him or Rogero or stay out of it. Rogero then called the Padgett endorsements a “stunt.” Exercising one’s First Amendment rights is not a stunt. Furthermore, Rogero sought the same endorsements and had she won them, she would have praised each as “able, credible leaders of our community whose support humbles and honors me.” Rogero got bad advice in making this an issue. Her counter news conference gave the endorsements much more circulation and allowed a second news release from Ivan Harmon demanding

an apology. However, there are issues Rogero could raise about Padgett which are fair and unanswered. These include why more than half of his campaign donations come from outside Knoxville? Why do people in other states want him to be mayor? Why will he not come clean on the details of his business which he cites as a reason to elect him? Where does he stand on tax increases? When he says there is waste in city government, what does he mean? Where is the waste? It may be there, but he should tell us what he means. The media have given Padgett a pass on what really constitutes his company eGovernment Solutions. Only Metro Pulse columnist Joe Sullivan has raised questions about Padgett’s business and Rogero has not picked up on it.
Rogero has not yet put meat on the bones of her campaign proposals. She is for a green city but has not offered proposals on replacing the trees destroyed this spring by storms on city property and medians. She has not told us what she thinks about making the city pension plan financially sounder. She has not told us if city street paving should be increased. Neither has Padgett. Padgett has failed to outline policy positions where he might challenge Rogero. Do they differ on future tax hikes? Do they differ on red light cameras? Do they differ on the Ten Year Homeless Plan? Besides age, gender and background where do they differ on actual policy? Do they differ on homeless housing adjacent to Flenniken School in South Knoxville? It is not negative to raise issues which allow the voters more information on who their next mayor really is. The same goes for council candidates who are often ignored. Notes: Monday, Oct. 3, was the 220th birthday
of the city of Knoxville. Unfortunately, this day passed unnoticed and not observed at the city. The 200th birthday of Knoxville was celebrated the entire year of 1991 led by Sue Clancy and Roseanne Wolf. Of course the 225th birthday arrives in 2016 which is two mayoral terms from now. However, the next mayor should/could name a task force to determine the best way to observe that milestone which he/ she can preside over should he/she win a second term. Marilyn Roddy had to be disappointed in her weak showing in her home precinct of Sequoyah Hills where she got only 51 percent of the vote for state Senator and tied Becky Massey on election day 219 to 219. But she can be pleased with running well in Fountain City where she tied Massey at Gresham School (169 to 169) and lost Shannondale School by only four votes. Overall, Massey was a substantial winner and is the favorite in the Nov. 8 general election against Gloria Johnson who has not lived in the district.

Paradise, Hawaiian style PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe PU
H
onolulu, Hawaii – What to say about a perfect trip to paradise? Amazing. Awesome. Incredible. Bluest water you’ve ever seen. Stunning rainbows. Scrumptious food. And none of that does Hawaii justice. Put it on your bucket list. If you can, go. If you can, go tomorrow. And go to Maui. Oh, yeah, you’ve got to see Honolulu, and we’ll get to that in a minute. But, spend some time on Maui. It’s ever so much the laid-back, tropical paradise you picture in your mind the minute somebody says “Hawaii.” We stayed just northwest of Lahaina on the western shore. And, if you look around a bit, or go off-season, you don’t have to break the bank to do it. Our condominium resort sported an oceanfront view, sea turtles swimming in the surf and the best sunsets you’ll ever see, all for about $135 a night. Heck, I’ve paid more than that in Milwaukee. And if you go, you have to eat at Mama’s Fish House in Paia. Two words: Mai Tai. Be prepared to take out a second mortgage on your home when you get the check. But, the view alone is worth it. And the fish is out
of this world. It’s so fresh they even put the names of the guys who caught them right on the menu. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: After lunch at Mama’s, we window shopped in Paia. In a little antique shop, I found (of all things) a knife for sale from the 1982 World’s Fair. Ain’t kiddin’. Do the helicopter tour if you must (we did; it was great), but definitely take a boat ride. And take one through Safari Boat Excursions and spend a few hours with Crazy Dave. Crazy Dave earned his nickname. He was fired from virtually every other outfit in Lahaina for taking visitors places he wasn’t supposed to go. He finally said to heck with it and bought his own boat. We went on an eight-hour excursion around Lanai. We saw jumping dolphins, snorkeled with exotic fish, watched Dave ease his boat into a cave, and even spotted Molokai’s leper colony and the Ritz-Carlton villa where Bill and Melinda Gates were wed. We had partnered up with Jen and Deb, two Australian natives who were staying at our condo resort, and had lots of laughs. Find out more at http:// www.safariboatexcursions. com/. After six nights in paradise, we reluctantly left Eden for Honolulu. The package I’d negotiated on Priceline.com included an island hop in a Light Cessna. I’d been tipped

Every American should see the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor at least once, “just to remember,” as my friend Roy Arthur says. Yes, that oil is still bubbling to the surface, 70 years later. Yes, I got chills. It irked me that so many tourists of all nationalities treated Pearl Harbor as if it were just another tourist stop. Most everyone – I’d like to think it was the majority – was silent or reverent or respectful. But others paused for photos with wide grins on their faces. For goodness sakes, this is a burial ground!

Couponing in critical times By Jake Mabe Couponing may conjure up childhood memories of mom cutting them out of the Sunday paper on a lazy afternoon. But since the economy took a downturn in late 2008, couponing has become a necessity for many households. Gabrielle Blake, who has been finding and using coupons for years, says she really turned it up a notch after her daughter, Hannah, was born five and one-half years ago and Gabrielle became a stay-at-home mom. “And I kept hearing about needs, like food pantries and other organizations needing help. Coupons are a way to do that for a lot less money. So I started gathering coupons from church members. That’s how it started.” She held a coupon workshop at Faith United Methodist Church on Dry Gap Pike on Oct. 9 and says the location wasn’t picked by accident. “I wanted to have it here because right now there is such an element of fear. I wanted to offer hope and hope comes from action. Couponing is a tangible way of doing that.” During the workshop, Blake talked about how to “coupon,” as the parlance goes, where to get them (in-

I never thought I’d ever be a blogger, but God decided I was going to.” Her blog can be found at http://couponingincritical times.blogspot.com.

Hundreds Expected to Cash In Today by Selling Silver & Gold Coins During Record High Market! By KEN MCINTOSH STAFF WRITER ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1970. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1970 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the
What We Buy: COINS Any and all coins made before 1970, rare coins, entire collections, Silver Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Half Dimes, Nickels, Three Cent Pieces, Two Cent Pieces, Cents, Large Cents, Half Cents and all others.

ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased. Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at Record Highs. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If you’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun! For more information on this event visit WWW.INTERNATIONALCOINCOLLECTORS.COM

Tampas is Halls High homecoming queen By Jake Mabe Halls High School senior Andrea Tampas was named the school’s homecoming queen Oct. 7. Representing Skills USA, Andrea raised $5,400 to be the top fundraiser. Her dad, North Knox Vocational School teacher Tony Tampas, said to be sure and mention that all the Skills USA folks helped, too, but Andrea already had that covered. She says Skills USA represents welding, auto body, electrical, construction core, carpentry and cosmetology classes. Andrea and the Skills USA folks held a car bash, a dunking booth, car washes and sold food to help raise money. Andrea says she’d never done anything like run for
homecoming queen before. “It was fun, but it was also very stressful.” A senior, Andrea is the daughter of Tony and Cathy Tampas. She runs track at Halls High and also participates in Greek Dance for Greekfest and plays volleyball for her church, St. George Greek Orthodox. Of the Greek Dance, she says, “We perform for the audience and pull people up to teach dances.” Andrea says she was inspired after taking a forensics class taught by Jeana Kirby at North Knox Vocational. She hopes to enter the field one day and is currently planning to attend Pellissippi State Andrea Tampas, representing Skills USA, was named the Halls Community College after High Homecoming Queen during halftime of the Hardin Valley graduation. game Oct. 7.

October launch for Fountain of Fables By Betty Bean It’s not every day that a community gets the chance to participate in birthing a new tradition, but this month there will be three opportunities to attend the first Fountain of Fables, a storytelling event sponsored and produced by Central High School Creative Writing teacher Erin Atchley and her students. Fountain of Fables will be a spooky Halloween happening from 5-7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 24; 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct 27; and 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at Fountain City Branch Library. The yearbook staff will provide free candy and the Beta Club will be doing face painting. “We wanted to come up with some way to give back to the community,” Atchley said. “And we want to get a lot of kids from Central recognized as well, because we’ve got such creative writing talent. We hear so much about choir and band, and rightly so, but a lot of these kids are talented in other aspects of art, and it’s long overdue that the community see what’s going on with them.” Senior Kara McLain, who is planning to major in psychology and minor in photography and creative writing in college, is going to tell two spooky stories – one in tandem with another student (they’ll dress as trick-ortreaters) and the other, a solo effort, will be a retelling of a Choctaw ghost story. Kara, who is Choctaw, says she hasn’t quite decided which story she’ll tell, but she guarantees it will be scary. “I’m going to tame it down a little for the little kids,” she said. Her two-story plan will require a quick costume change. Shenandoah Boyd, who wants to attend a small liberal arts college (maybe Hollins) and is writing a fantasy novel, plans to tell a simplified version of Wicked John
Fountain City Elementary
and the Devil that she learned sitting at campfires with her father. “It’s about a mean old blacksmith who invites people to his home and does mean things to them when they’re asleep. It’s a scary story, also creepy in the end.” Andrew “Ty” Buttry, a junior, wants to study Chinese and Japanese in college and become a translator. He’s planning to tell a story about scientist Louis Pasteur. “It’ll be a retelling of a story about this boy who sees this dog who had rabies,” Ty said. “I’m going to make it as scary as possible, or maybe funny,” he said. Whitney Slaton, a senior who plans to study to become a nurse (although she says she knows she’d enjoy theater more – “But I’m a realist”), is thinking about doing a rendition of the poem “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll, author of “Alice in Wonderland.” “This gives me several costume options. I may dress up as the Mad Hatter, or Alice – or the Red Queen.”

Happy 13th Birthday! My beautiful daughters, I was blessed with two of you at once ... You will never know how proud I am of all the things you do. You came into my world, so tiny and so small ... And I was in awe at the wonder of it all. Then you placed your little hand in mine ... There was no denying, my heart was yours 'til the end of time. I have watched you both throughout the years, laugh, cry and grow ... And it is difficult to know, that someday I will have to let you go. I just can't imagine, a day of my life without you ... Because you're a part of me and my love for you is true. So just remember, no matter how old you are or where you may be ... There's someone who needs you and loves you and that someone is me!
Taylor and Haley
I love you girls – Love MOM!

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 17, 2011 • A-15
Only one missed block Ah yes, Alabama week, once the measuring stick for football men of Tennessee. Jimmy Hahn missed a block in the Tennessee-Alabama game 60 years ago. It made news. Robert R. Neyland reviewed the film and covered for his almost perfect head-hunter. “The linebacker was out of position and Hahn couldn’t find him.” Then as now, those with the ball dominated headlines. Long runs and touchdowns didn’t fool Neyland. He said one good blocker was worth three ball-carriers. He wrote a margin note in his coaching manual: “Credit blockers for big gains.” The national champion 1951 Volunteers rushed for 3,068 yards. It was a way of life back then. Indeed, tailbacks enjoyed precision interference. Hahn was the best blocker, best in the SEC. He won the Jacobs Trophy. The recent death of center Bob Davis dusted off memories of his longago roommate, an intriguing character, tough 186-pound blocking back, son of a preacher man. Hahn was pivotal in several shenanigans, including a massive panty raid. He found novel ways into and out of trouble. Some stories Bob told. Jimmy added some. He enjoyed college freedom. He developed a wild reputation for doing crazy things and had to do some more to live up to it. One was taking aim from his dorm window and shooting out a security light near the stadium. Broken glass showered down on a campus patrolman. Spectators, at other windows, cheered. Neyland got the news at breakfast. Did you do it? Yes sir. Why? Hahn came up with a good story. The light was disturbing his sleep, put up with it a long time, finally did something about it. The General warned about the dangers of firing a rifle. He went on to recollections
Marvin West
of his military marksmanship and many other adventures at West Point. Hahn said it was fascinating. “After 45 minutes or an hour, he suggested I bring my .22 rifle to his office for safe-keeping and take it home the next time I went that way.” Davis thought Hahn’s value to the Vols could have been a forgiveness factor for transgressions – like the Walgreens adventure. Hahn liked drug store ice cream. He plotted a night raid. All he had to do was become invisible as the manager took a last look around before turning out the lights. Hahn did it but before his first scoop, he hurried to check the exit. The back door had a push-bar but it was double locked. “I suddenly lost my appetite. I couldn’t find a way out. I finally called Mickey O’Brien (trainer). He called the police. The police called the store manager.” Hahn was ready with a creative explanation. He had been in a phone booth, talking to a girl, when the store went dark. He yelled and yelled. Walgreens’ manager was sorry for the inconvenience. Hahn found a magic way into the team dining area after hours. He took a gallon of peaches, ate far too many and solicited help with leftovers. Peaches became his nickname. Another time, he raided

Scouts get ready for fall events
As we get well into the school year, it’s time to take a quick look back at the past summer and then prepare for an exciting fall and winter with our area Scouts. It was a busy summer for Troop 506 and its wonderful group of leaders. Summer camp in the middle of June was a rousing success and was quite a change from the past few years where the heat was stifling and, this year, rain was apparently the order of the day for the majority of that week. We had a larger than normal group of young Scouts make their first trip to summer camp and a near record number of merit badges were earned. I understand that a lot of the Scout parents would automatically qualify for the “washing mildewing clothes” merit badge if there were such a thing. Thanks to the volunteers and staff at Camp Buck Toms for another great year. Hearty congratulations to our most recent Eagle Scouts, Luke Lee and Robert Buck, who have received their Eagle rank since my last article. I would also like to offer a round of thanks to all of our outgoing Troop 506 officers for helping to engineer a successful year. The new slate of officers was recently elected and they have a lot of hard work ahead of them to keep up the fine tradition of excelHahn yarns and 200 others are in Marvin West’s first book, “Tales of the Ten- lence. nessee Vols.” It is available by mail from Our troop also spent a WESTCOM, P.O. Box 38, Maynardville, TN weekend at Piney River on 37807. The cost is $20. a backpacking adventure. The older, more experienced Senior Job Fair Scouts took one path and the The Knoxville-Knox younger Scouts took an easCounty Office on Aging is ier path to meet at a mutual offering a Senior Job Fair campsite where they enjoyed from 9 a.m. to noon Wednes- swimming. A lot of our Scouts day, Oct. 19, at the L.T. Ross were able to experience their Building, 2247 Western Ave. first backpacking overnight Those over age 50 who are trip. seeking either full-time or “Fall Camporee Thunder part-time positions are encouraged to attend.

in Scouting? The program is always changing. Some skills are dropped and others added each year or so as Scouting does its best to remain relevant to our society and the current interest of our youth while always staying true the ideals and principles on which the movement was founded. I guess it’s safe to say that Scouting in 2011 is definitely not what your father may have known. It has also been busy early part of the new Scouting year for Pack 506 Cub Scouts. Brandon Bernard has been sworn in as the new Pack 506 cubmaster and is thrilled to report that Pack 506 has recently been joined by more than 50 new members from Halls and Adrian Burnett Elementary schools. It was my privilege and honor to have worked with the outgoing cubmaster, Doug Stooksbury, and also with Brandon while I was the 506 cubmaster. I am confident this will be an exciting year for these new young Scouts as well as the returning Scouts. If your child is interested in any area of Scouting, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing or Girl Scouts in the Halls or surrounding areas, email me at troop506@tds.net and I will be happy to put you in touch with the proper leaders to get you and your child started on your own Scouting adventures. My parents always told me to make sure I took the time to have fun, learn and make good memories, and I can promise you that Scouting in any of its many areas is one of the best ways to make memories with your child that will last a lifetime. Until next time, I’ll be Scouting around. Come join me!
Road 2011” was held at Big Ridge State Park recently and Troop 506 was the host. This year’s event had an automotive theme mixed in with the storied Thunder Road that ran through our area and down through the Bearden and Kingston Pike areas many years ago. The events included designing, building and driving a “car” down an incline in a timed event. The cars had to have steering and braking capabilities and I can honestly say that there some creative and resourceful young men out there. The afternoon was spent in a teamwork event dealing with pit stops and related automotive maintenance information. The fun and games, as always, had a purpose and that was to start these young men working towards the Automotive Maintenance Merit badges. I was not able to stay the entire day since my 3-year-old was with me, but I have it on good authority (my 13-year-old) that the evening meal of barbecue pork was absolutely some of the best food he has ever had on a Scout adventure. Kudos to everyone involved in the camporee, especially David Denton who coordinated the event with the help of countless other volunteers. Toward the end of summer, 15 Scouts were able to start work on one of the newer merit badges offered by the Boy Scouts of America in the form of the Robotics Merit Badge. Who would have imagined 10-15 years ago that robotics would be

the walk-in freezer. Jim Thompson, manager of the training table, returned unexpectedly, saw light under the door and thought he was being burglarized. He investigated with pistol in hand. “Mr. Jim, Mr. Jim,” exclaimed Hahn. “Don’t shoot me. I’m just having an ice cream.” Hahn didn’t sleep much that night. He knew Thompson would tell Neyland. He didn’t. Teammates liked latenight chili dogs with onions from Smoky Mountain Market. Hahn would walk the railroad bridge across the Tennessee River as a shortcut to pick up goodies. He was going south when he encountered a northbound train. “It was good that I didn’t have my hands full. I needed both to get under the track and hold on. It would have been bad if I had dropped the hot dogs.” Hahn got serious as an Army officer and retired as a colonel. He became a real estate broker. He owned a large farm in Virginia and a vacation home in Germany. He was chaplain for a retired military group. He sang in his church choir. “I came from a religious family. Two grandfathers, my father, my brother and a son were Lutheran ministers. It would not have been acceptable for me to turn out all bad.”

NEWS FROM FAMILY DENTISTRY OF KNOXVILLE
Protect and preserve teeth with preventative care Family Dentistry offers custom fit mouth guards By Anne Hart With football season in full swing in East Tennessee, Dr. Jason Phillips has some great advice for the boys of fall: the most effective athletic mouth guards aren’t the ones you pick up at the school gym. The mouth guards best suited to helping you keep your teeth despite the rough and tumble of the football field are the ones your dentist custom fits to your mouth. Dr. Phillips, owner of Family Dentistry of Knoxville, a full-service practice located at 2609 W. Adair Drive in North Knoxville,
is as interested in protecting and preserving the teeth and gums and all around good dental health of the rest of the family as he is those of the football heroes. He is a true family dentist, in the best sense of the words. Starting with pediatric services for very young children and progressing through the teen years into adulthood and on to the needs of seniors, Family Dentistry of Knoxville offers advanced dentistry, including restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, for the whole family – from the youngest to the oldest. “We always want to emphasize preventative care,” Dr. Phillips says. “If we don’t take good care of our teeth throughout our lives,
we can end up spending a whole lot of money as problems arise that could have been prevented with regular check-ups and good oral hygiene. “The goal is to keep our natural teeth. When we start losing them, we lose chewing function and that can affect overall health, even causing anxiety and depression.” Dr. Phillips, who bought the practice of Dr. Stephen Combs, who retired, has outfitted his offices with the very latest technology, including digital X-ray equipment, which emits 80 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays. There are also chair-side monitors where patients can view the X-rays and digital photos of problem areas in the mouth.
And to assure patient comfort, there is also a TV monitor at every chair. Despite a staff of friendly professionals, if you visit Family Dentistry of Knoxville, expect to be seen by Dr. Phillips himself. He interacts with every patient, no matter what services are being provided. “We want people to feel at home here,” he says. “We want to be sure our patients have a thorough understanding of their treatment, and we never want them to feel rushed.” Family Dentistry, located in the Food City Dr. Jason Phillips with his wife, Kathryn, and their dog, Layla Shopping Center, just off Broadway, is open 8 a.m. FAMILY DENTISTRY to 5 p.m. Monday through 2609 W. Adair Drive Thursday and Fridays by (Food City Shopping Center off Broadway) request. Info: www.famiKnoxville, 37918 • 688-1320 lydentistryknoxville.com or 688-1320

Fun and fit after 50 Staying healthy and working out after age 50 doesn’t have to be strenuous or unpleasant. Karen Milligan is part of the Body Works classes through Covenant Health and she teaches senior adults to work out at a level that is safe and fun for each individual. The first indicator for fun fitness is recognizing individual personality types. Type A people are more likely to enjoy continual movement in workouts, changing exercises continually, where
Individuals should perform a “body part check” to find a workout suitable for Ruth their abilities.

“It’s important to continue to work muscles even if you are injured,” she said. “Simple exercises such as squeezing thigh muscles or buttock muscles and using stretchy bands to work arm muscles is better than no activity.” Her tips for finding the best exercise program include making it fit your likes, making it fit your schedule, making it fit your budget and making it fit your body. “If it fits, it will be fun.”
