Booker is state Teacher of the Year By Betty Bean and Jake Mabe Central High School English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher Byron A. Booker was named Tennessee Teacher of the Year last Thursday night at the annual banquet in Nashville. “I am honored, honored, to stand before you this evening to accept this recognition as the 2012 Tennessee Teacher of the Year,” Booker said in his acceptance speech. “In doing so, I accept on behalf of my family, Knox Central High School, my community of Knoxville, my profession of teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and most of all, my 40 English Language Learners who at this very hour better be completing their compare/contrast essays for homework tomorrow.” In naming Booker the ShopperNews’ Teacher of the Year in 2009, Betty Bean wrote about Booker’s actions following the 2008 shooting at Central High School: “(On) Aug. 21, 2008, Central High School was rocked when 10th grader Ryan McDonald was gunned down in the cafeteria by another student who calmly put his gun away and walked away. Among the witnesses to the killing were international students in Byron Booker’s English as

Some of them had been forced to leave their home countries to escape violence. All of them were terrified. “Their teacher knew his kids were traumatized, and he knew that he must respond. Nine months later, the ESL Yearbook, written and
produced by the students, describes ‘A Day We Will Never Forget.’ ” The students wrote: “Many of the ELLs (English Language Learners) were eating breakfast in the commons that morning. They screamed, they followed directions of teachers in the area,
and they found a safe place. Many of them stayed in the library meeting with Mr. Booker. Later that day, Mr. Booker drove to their houses to check on the students. The next day they stayed in the ESL room. The ELLs had a time to talk about what they saw. There were some interpreters there to help them.” What happened Aug. 21 caused Booker to try a new approach to teaching. “Following the shooting, I threw out all classroom rules,” Booker said in 2009. “Instead, I created three maxims: 1. We are a team; 2. We do the right thing; 3. We use order in everything we do. “I put those on the wall, and when we started the day, I would have them recite that as a class.” “Byron Booker gives unstintingly of his time, his energy and his personal resources – and then he gives some more,” Bean wrote. “The students in his classes are from 15 different countries, and he has made it his job to see to it that their time at Central High School prepares them for the challenges and the opportunities they will face in the USA. In Booker’s class, his students have found a safe place.”

Flights take veterans to D.C. By Jake Mabe Eddie Mannis told the Halls Business and Professional Association at Beaver Brook Country Club last week that serving as a guardian on an HonorAir Knoxville flight is an experience one will never forget. Now, that opportunity is being expanded to include high school students. Volunteer guardians are assigned to three or four veterans on the daylong flights, which take World War II and Korean War era veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the war and military memorials and Arlington National Cemetery. Since the first flight was held in 2007, Mannis says more than 1,250 World War II and Korean War vets have participated in the flights. The program was founded and established by Mannis’s Prestige Cleaners.
Mannis told the B&P last week that high school students ages 17 and older will now be able to apply to become a guardian. A maximum of four students will be selected to participate in each flight. Students must have parental permission, complete an online application which can be found at ht t p://w w w.honorairk nox v ille. com and submit an essay of 200 words or less explaining why they want to be a guardian. The next flight is April 18. Mannis says the goal at this point is continue to serve as many Korean War veterans as possible, but added that eventually taking Vietnam veterans is a long-term goal.

last week that his team will be focused on effort, team togetherness, team toughness and, yep, discipline. “But when you explain it (discipline), they respond better to that.” Martin says he and his staff stress doing the right things off the court, stuff like getting up early and making an 8 a.m. class on time. He says it’s all about building long-term relationships. Team togetherness might mean a night at the bowling alley or eating dinner together. Often, he says, they don’t even talk about basketball. Team toughness isn’t just the physical “train like a boxer” mindset that Martin says is his approach, but “also the mental part.”

“Being on time, working hard, maximize your time during a threehour practice. You do that, then you put together a good week, and then you become a good ball player. Then you become a good team when you have four or five guys doing that.” Martin says the next phase for his team is to learn how to battle and compete against one another. He tells them they will get to sort out who becomes the starting five by how they compete and practice. He says he didn’t take the job to go through the motions. “My goal is for us to be the last team standing.

Wallace to be inducted into CHS Wall of Fame By Dr. Jim Tumblin The Rev. Billy Wallace will be inducted into Central High School’s Wall of Fame during the annual breakfast ceremony 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the school. Wallace lives on Emory Road between Powell and Halls adjacent to his family’s farmhouse. The old homeplace was restored by his daughter who lives there now with her family. Billy Wood Wallace was born on Sept. 29, 1923, in the old Knoxville General Hospital. He and his parents, R. Rex and Bertha Ogg Wallace, lived on E. Fifth Ave. When he was in the 4th grade, the family moved to the ancestral home of the Oggs on Emory Road. Peter Ogg (1765-1850) and his descendants have occupied the plat, originally 900 acres, since 1807. The massive Blue Hole Spring on the property is a geologic wonder that supplies about half the volume of Beaver Creek and is adjacent to the only remaining segment of the original Emory Road, on which President Andrew Jackson used to travel. Billy’s father, Rex, was a long time real estate agent and city government employee. He was director of welfare and later director of finance in the administration of Knoxville Mayor George Dempster. Christenberry Junior High School had just been completed when Billy entered the 7th grade there. He had
Opera star Mary Costa joins her first cousin, The Rev. Billy W. Wallace, at his recent birthday party. He will be installed on the Central High School Wall of Fame on Nov. 12. Photo courtesy Carolyn Ogg Riggs always wanted to play trombone in the band and his father bought him a high quality instrument. When he was in the 9th grade, his trombone – along with the instruments of some of his friends – was stolen from a locked closet where they had been placed the night before. When he entered Central in 1938 as a sophomore, band director O’dell Willis offered him a new bassoon if he would learn to play it. Billy was not interested and found a trombone of lesser quality in a pawn shop for $20. The instrument served him for the remainder of his high school career and for two years in the UT marching band. He also participated in Central’s dramatic club, the variety show, the debating club and was on the yearbook staff in 1940-41. After graduation, he worked on the family farm from the fall of 1942 until 1946, tending a herd of dairy cows and raising hogs. Then he at-

He gave her a ring the following Easter and they were married the following July. They became the parents of two daughters, Lorri Wallace Johnson and Beth Wallace Bales. Feeling a need for more education, Wallace entered the University of Louisville and graduated with a bachelor’s in history in 1951. He also attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and graduated in 1952 with a master’s in theology. Having been ordained in December 1951 in his home church, First Baptist Church of Knoxville, Wallace attended the university and was also pastor of the Lusby Mills Baptist Church in Owen County, near Frankfort, Ky., from January 1951 to May 1952. Then he became assistant to the minister of First Baptist

Church in Toccoa, Ga. While there, he developed five choirs and a Royal Ambassador group. The church also had a strong Boy Scout program and he was inducted into the leadership group, the Order of the Arrow. He was also the Little League baseball commissioner. In August 1956, he became the pastor of Rivercrest Chapel, a mission of the First Baptist Church of Chattanooga. In 1958, he became assistant pastor at First Baptist Church. While there, he managed the Visitation Program, the Youth Program and ultimately the church camp. As the director of youth programs, he managed the development of the waterfront, built the lodge, and was its director during the summer until 1968. The camp was the crown jewel in the church’s ministry. Age groups were allotted two-week stays during the summer with activities such as canoeing, archery, land sports, camping skills, nature study, ceramics and horseback riding. Toward the end of the summer, the facility was opened to the county for a program for wards of the court. In 1968, Wallace was hired as assistant director of the Department of Correspondence Studies at the University of Tennessee under the dean, Dr. James Arnold, and the assistant dean, Dr. Joseph Goddard. While he was working there, he took classes and received his master’s in edu-

cation administration and supervision. During his tenure, the Extension Department became the Continuing Education Department under its own vice president and he became the assistant director for correspondence study. He began visiting the guidance counselors in nearby schools and eventually was visiting every high school in the state of Tennessee every year, distributing catalogs for every campus in the system – Knoxville, Martin, Chattanooga and the Medical Units in Memphis. When Dr. Charles Weaver became the vice president for continuing education, Wallace was put in charge of a coop program for students other than those in engineering. The program was eventually placed in the Knoxville campus’s placement office. In 1970, Wallace began serving as an interim pastor at West Knoxville Baptist Church. He moved that church from Papermill Road to Bridgewater Road. He stayed there 3 1/2 years. When he left that position, he returned to First Baptist Church of Knoxville. He and Lynne
became active in the college department. Later, they were involved in the development of the Shalom class. He retired from the university in 1987 and started delivering food for FISH. When the couple directing the program retired, the Mission Committee of the church asked him to take over, which he did for 12 years. Wallace has served two separate three-year terms on the Finance Committee of First Baptist Church. In 1981, he went to Korea on a twoweek mission trip and he and Lynne went to Prague to work on the new campus for the International Baptist Seminary. Currently, he is a member of the Golden Notes choir at First Baptist. He also has been active in the Central High School Golden Grads and was chair of the group for one term. Just this year, Wallace donated a conservation easement for all of the historic Ogg property on the south side of Emory Road to the Legacy Parks Foundation. This 16acre plat includes the Blue Spring and the adjoining strip of historic Emory Road.

Recycler is recycled Smith, Briggs only ‘no’ votes By Larry Van Guilder Love, goes the song, is better the second time around. But what’s true for affairs of the heart may not apply to business affairs, so it was fitting that a heart surgeon pointed this out at the recent County Commission work session. With admirable restraint, Commissioner Richard Briggs questioned the wisdom of going back into the greenwaste recycling business with Natural Resources Recovery, reborn, for these purposes, as Nature’s Best Organics of Tennessee. “Do we really want to go back in business with a company that didn’t live up to its (former) contract obligations?” Briggs asked. The good doctor answered the quesBriggs tion to his own satisfaction with a far less diplomatic addendum, noting that “(NRR was) a company that – in my opinion – defrauded us of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.” The issue of fraud is a matter for the courts to decide. Local business owner Brad Mayes’ false claims suit is still active, even after the county in a 2008 mediated settlement with NRR in essence Smith declared “no harm, no foul” and renewed the company’s contract for three years. Commissioner Amy Broyles volunteered that, “A lot of what happened before was Knox County’s own fault.” Broyles is not Brad Mayes’ biggest fan, and her opinion leaves much unsaid. Certainly the maverick behavior of John Evans, the late solid waste director, can’t be disregarded. Without authority, Evans relieved NRR of its contractual revenue sharing obligation. But Chancellor John Weaver notably opined that the county’s reasons for dismissing Mayes’ lawsuit (the county initially joined the suit) were “disingenuous” and “spurious.” And Weaver’s 2009 ruling that the suit could go forward left little doubt that he was troubled by the evidence presented at the hearing. Is Nature’s Best Organics the best choice for the new contract? Public Works and Engineering Director Dwight Van de Vate is satisfied. “Purchasing has really taken this and put copious amounts of time into (the process) and we have confidence in the work done,” he said. Law Director Joe Jarret was careful not to express an opinion on the choice of vendors, only saying the contract contains provisions to protect the county’s interests. Specifically, the vendor must keep books and records and allow inspections of the same. The cynically minded among us would say that begs the question: Didn’t the contract which has generated lawsuits and enough acrimony to keep the larder stocked for years to come contain the same provisions? How did that work out for Knox County? The county needs a better outcome this time around; we’re running out of recyclers to recycle. Perhaps Briggs was thinking of Proverbs 26:11: “As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.” He cast his vote as if he was, joining R. Larry Smith as the only other commissioner to vote against the resolution. In absentia, Brad Mayes cast a resounding “nay.” Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

The gloves are off The mayoral campaign has entered a new, hard hitting phrase. The gloves are off and Mark Padgett is waging all out war. Padgett is determined to win, and he has Rogero responding to his charges. Padgett’s recent attack piece on Rogero hits tax votes from County Commission going back 20 years in one case. Rogero responded that her votes kept Austin-East and Fulton high schools open. She points out that Padgett has no record of public service. No doubt she worries that if she does respond, it gives his attacks more circulation. But if she ignores them the charges may stick. Either way is a political risk. However, remaining silent would be the greater risk. Rogero can count on several more attack pieces before Nov. 8. She will need to motivate her base to vote in droves to win. The first Padgett piece to
Victor Ashe
arrive at my mail box was a most unusual. First, it has potential Mayor Padgett on the waterfront in front of the closed Baptist Hospital. The mailer does not mention one thing Padgett plans to do to reopen or convert Baptist Hospital to another use. It is a symbol of failure with little current hope for revival. Most candidates liked to be pictured in front of successes. Padgett’s flyer cites “job creation” as point one. “Support businesses which already call Knoxville home.” But the bulk rate permit on the same mailer shows a Memphis permit (#4622) which suggests he is taking his business to Memphis,
not Knoxville. Padgett’s pledge does not match his practice in the same mailer. Several longtime businesses in Knoxville could have printed and mailed this item but he placed his campaign money elsewhere. Metro Pulse has jumped into the fray by questioning the number of employees Padgett has with a surprise visit to Padgett’s office which is featured in the current issue. My best guess is that Rogero still wins but by a closer margin than previously thought. Rogero will need to step forward with more publicity on the endorsements she has won such as the FOP and Firefighters plus neighborhood leaders from across the city to counter the Padgett endorsement announcements. Rogero also will need to send out mailers to offset the Padgett mailers. To date (Oct. 20), Padgett has sent out three mailers in four days while Rogero mailers have not arrived. Presumably, they are on the way. Rogero needs to be more
visible in these final weeks on TV and in the mail to have the convincing win she seeks. ■ KUB is sending Mayor Brown five or more names to replace attorney Tom Jones who is leaving the KUB board after two terms (14 years). Mayor Brown will choose one name to submit to City Council for a vote. More on this process in a later column. ■ Larry Martin, who has been a key player in the Haslam and Brown administrations, emailed me in response to an inquiry that he plans to leave city government before the new mayor takes office in mid-December. Martin has been the “go-to” person in the city for the past six years serving ably and effectively. Some observers had thought he would stay if Rogero wins. ■ Former County Commissioner Bee DeSelm has moved from Hamilton House in Sequoyah Hills to Shannondale Retirement Center in West Hills. She is recovering from a recent fall but doing well.
Campaign aides reflect their boss Last Monday night, Mark Padgett’s campaign manager Tony Coppola filled in for his candidate at the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association while Padgett
Betty Bean hit the West Hills homeowner’s group. He got a polite, if somewhat subdued reception, possibly because his candidate got endorsed by Realtors and homebuilders’ groups earlier in the day. On Tuesday morning, his counterpart, Chip Barry, campaign manager for Madeline Rogero, was covered up with infrastructure work in his candidate’s Sutherland Avenue headquarters. Scheduling, planning, coordinating fundraising activities and dealing with volunteers made for an appointment-filled day. Out at Alice Bell, Coppola hit all of Padgett’s talking points – Lonsdale, public service, Bredesen, borrowed laptop, friend’s couch, $5,000 savings, job

creation, ability to schmooze world-class CEOs. A Pennsylvania native and a 2006 Boston College graduate, he gained some notoriety as a student by protesting BC’s inviting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to speak at commencement and receive an honorary degree. Now 27, he is a hired gun who has been involved with eight Democratic candidates, starting with an entry-level staff position with the John Edwards campaign in Iowa. He has been working in the Padgett campaign since late May, when he came here from Florida where he managed a congressional campaign for Lori Edwards, a Democratic woman in a
heavily Republican district. She was an underdog from the get-go and it was no surprise that she lost. Barry came to Knoxville from Nashville 27 years ago to attend the University of Tennessee and has never left. He has long been active in neighborhood issues – he is past president of the Colonial Village Neighborhood Association, treasurer of the South Knoxville Neighborhood and Business Coalition, and a board member of the South Knoxville Foundation – and is making his first foray into politics. The bulk of his work experience has been in operations management of mental health centers and nonprof-
its, but more recently he has been a Realtor because having flexible work hours has given him the time to make extended Nashville visits to care for his aging parents. He says he has never been particularly partisan. “I went to work for Madeline as campaign manager in January after being recommended by some other neighborhood people who advocated on my behalf because they saw me as someone actively involved in community issues and as someone with operations experience,” he said. “I’ve really enjoyed it. Every day’s a different experience.” Coppola’s history, on the other hand, is that of a yellow dog Democrat who isn’t shy about mixing it up if need be. When asked if he is comfortable accompanying Padgett to Republican strongholds to woo GOP support in this nonpartisan race, he stayed on message: “I don’t think Mark views politics through a partisan lens. Creating jobs is his No. 1 goal and the issue I care about most is jobs and the economy. We’re going to get this economy going.”

Playing at Oakes Farm more worthy dad than Victor. At the Farragut Rotary last week, the former mayor told of his appointment as ambassador to Poland. The idea of an ambassadorship was first suggested by President George W. Bush, who was a classmate of Ashe at Yale University. George and Laura Bush attended the Knoxville wedding of Victor and Joan and went whitewater rafting with them. So Victor was interested in an ambassadorship and had talked a couple of times with a White House representative. It was approaching Christmas and the Ashes The next Martha Ashe opted to send Martha, then It’s said that parents 10, along with Victor to the get the kids they deserve, White House Christmas Victor Ashe speaks at the Far- so certainly Martha Ashe, Party.

a reward and present, he said. These dinners are held almost nightly in December with 400 of the president’s closest friends who stand in line for an hour to shake hands for 15 seconds. But the food and decorations are great, said Victor. He and Martha inched along the line and up to the president. “So have you decided to take that job in Poland?” asked Bush. Victor had not mentioned the possibility to his kids, and Martha is not dumb. “Are we moving to Poland?” she asked as they headed upstairs to dinner. “I do not want to go. “I don’t know anyone in Poland. All of my friends are here. If I go to Poland, they’ll find other friends and I’ll never see them again. “How could you do this to us? I don’t want to go and I’ll just tell you, J. Victor won’t want to go either!” She fussed in this vein all through dinner. “You don’t get a vote,” Victor told her. So off to Poland went the Ashes, and last year, the day after Christmas, Martha was on a plane to Poland to visit her friends there. It ended well, but for that one evening in Washington, it was touch-and-go. And for those who remember the original Martha Ashe, you’ve gotta know that somewhere she was grinning.

the farm Oct. 30. Guests can enjoy the “Back 40” Entertainment Area, including two separate corn mazes, the old mine shaft, the animal exhibit, a bouncing pillow, a hay maze, pedal carts, tire mountain play area, Rat Racers, Farm Scene Investigation Game, a giant sand play area, quad slides and a downhill derby. Children can also pan for gems, rope steers or play tetherball. The farm offers educational activities and field trips for students through the week as well. “This is my favorite thing to do during our festival,” said Oakes as he flipped a burger on the grill. The Trail of Doom and Haunted Maze will continue to draw the brave in the evenings through Halloween night, and a portion of the proceeds from the Haunted Maze will go to benefit Children’s Hospital. Info: 6873770.
For 10 years, folks have been coming to pick their pumpkins and walk the maze at Oakes Farm. The 2011 event has broadened to include visitors from Kentucky, Alabama and beyond. Ken Oakes and his brother-in-law David Black are managers of the Corn Maze at Oakes Farm while founder Stewart Oakes now works primarily as manager of Oakes Daylilies. “Our most popular attraction is the rest rooms,” said Ken Oakes. “People never liked the port-a-potties, so we replaced them a couple of years ago. This event has become a family tradition with a lot of folks who spend half a day or all day. One of our most popular photo op is the sign post ‘How Tall This Fall’ so families can see how much children have grown from the previous visit.” The primary maze covers nine acres and is a tribute to Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, who will visit

ill Willis has a way of turning up. “I get into situations I don’t deserve,” he puts it. Bill was in Fountain City Park a couple of weeks ago when Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and legislative committee chairs endorsed Becky Duncan Massey for state senator. “Are those folks politicians?” he asked. Well, yes, Bill. Where have you been? Turns out Bill marched with Martin Luther King Jr., drove for Bobby Kennedy and has met people the rest of us have only read about. The retired preacher now lives in Knox County with wife Lynn to be near their only grandson. What stories he tells. Lynn gigged him to tell “coal pile,” a story he says makes him seem closer to Dr. King than he was. Seems King and his confidantes were at somebody’s home in Selma when some kids were arrested. As Bill tells it, the kids were released and then arrested again before they got home. He was
incensed. “I was mad as hell. I stormed out and slammed the door and said, ‘I’m about ready to burn it down!’” Standing by a coal pile, he heard the door close again and footsteps. Dr. King spoke softly, “I think you’re involved (in the Civil Rights movement) out of concern for social justice. I don’t think it grows out of your Christian faith. Mine does and I hope you learn this.” Although a preacher then, Bill said it was years later before a “Christian experience” deepened his faith. Back at the coal pile, another fellow later asked what King had said. “Oh, just some black preacher talk,” Bill replied. William Willis Jr. and Lynn have been married for 33 years. Lynn says, “God matched us,” and Bill agrees, but adds, “How often God is confused with our imaginations.” Bill is complex. He holds a doctorate but not from Harvard which he attended for three years. Smart enough
to be admitted, he never graduated from the Ivy League university. “A professor told me I was a rare one who didn’t do well enough to flunk out,” he says. Andrew Young: UN Ambassador for Jimmy Carter and later mayor of Atlanta. Bill was with Young, then mayor, when a little girl approached, crying she was lost. “Honey, you’re not lost, you’re with me!” said Young, taking her to the dais. Another time Bill was with Young in the Chicago airport

body but me,” Bill says. Abernathy rose to introduce him. “Now Ralph McGill (crusading editor and publisher of the Atlanta Constitution) has referred to Billy Willis as Dr. King’s white lieutenant, but this ain’t no lie. Billy is a five-star general!” The crowd cheered. Stolen sermon: My favorite thing is preaching, says Bill, and once King sent him to Brooklyn to fill in. A young intern went along. “It was an upscale black church; people were wearing minks and furs,” Bill says. When they returned, the intern raved. “You oughtta heard him. He was great. He had that crowd in his hands.” “But what did he say?” asked King. “He took his text from Acts 27, ‘and they made it in on broken pieces,’ not on white horses or with a grand army.” King said, “I’m quite familiar with that sermon. Billy stole it from me.” Bobby Kennedy: He called me “The Reverend,” Bill said. “And I did not call him Bobby.” Willis met Robert Kennedy in Detroit following the riots of 1967. Kennedy was running for president and Willis was there to help calm the community. Bill volunteered to help in Kennedy’s campaign and later was tasked with driving the candidate to an event. He got Lynn and Bill Willis walk their dog, Onyx, in Fountain City Park. to talking and took a wrong Photo by S.

Don’t ‘Let it Be’ Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” (Psalm 14: 1a NRSV) Proof-texting is what people do when they pick and choose what they read in the Bible. It is taking a particular phrase or verse out of context to make a point. For example, you can prove that the Bible says “There is no God.” See? It’s right there in Psalm 14: 1 (quoted above). Of course, if you read the entire verse, it actually says, “Fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’ ” Totally different message. I started thinking about this the other day when I was working on the church bulletin. One of the hymns for the upcoming Sunday was “Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated.” At least, that is how I

Lynn Hutton published the title in the bulletin. The United Methodist Hymnal titles it “Take My Life and Let It Be.” I happen to object strenuously to that shortened version of the title, for one simple reason. I come from a long line of Appalachian pioneers, and where I come from, “Let it be” means something. To “let (something) be” means to leave well enough alone. Don’t touch it, don’t mess with it, don’t bring it up again, don’t have anything to do with it. “Let it be.” When it comes to my life, I dearly hope that God will day, Nov. 19, in the Family Life Center Gym.

not “let it be”! I hope that God will be right up in my business! So I considered what that hymn title would mean if a person were to chop off even more of it. “Take my life” means something else, too. To take someone’s life means to kill them. You see, words mean things. And that is why I listed the title of the hymn as “Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated.” Moreover, that train of thought let me to consider how we truncate our faith in general. We have our favorite passages of the Bible that we love to quote, but do we consider the entirety of the message contained in the whole book? Can you come up with a one-sentence synopsis of the Bible? What is its message? What, exactly, is God’s word for us? We also like to cherry-
pick our firmly held tenets of faith. I know lots of upstanding Methodists who want to quibble over certain of the Articles of Faith they claim to believe. For that matter, I know lots of upstanding members of many denominations who will say, when pushed, “Well, no, I don’t exactly agree with that one tenet of what my church says.” My point is this: it is OK to be not quite so concerned about every jot and tittle, and to pay way more attention to the overarching sweep of the story of God’s creation of, activity in and abiding love for the world. That is the story contained in The Book. It all counts; it all matters; it all brings its own witness to bear on the grand arc that is God’s love and concern and mercy showered upon Creation.

Haunted! Ghostly doings at Cherokee Caverns
This jumping spider awaits visitors to the Haunted Cave. It looks benign here, but meeting it in total darkness is another matter. Did we mention that it’s named “jumping spider” for a reason?
By Sandra Clark There’s just one week remaining to catch this year’s version of The Haunted Cave at Cherokee Caverns on Oak Ridge Highway. Stop by from 7-10 p.m. Friday, Saturday or Monday (Oct. 28, 29 and 31).
The Caverns are located at 8524 Oak Ridge Highway, one mile off Pellissippi Parkway on Highway 162. Info: www.thehauntedcave.net/. “Some things just won’t stay dead and buried,” says manager Mike Whidby. And that must be these Caverns. The annual Halloween event was discontinued in 2008 only to reopen this year. Mike’s dad, Jim Whidby, has handled the promotion for 23 years.
The formations inside The Haunted Cave overshadow anything the organizers can devise. Jim Whidby says scientists have estimated the Caverns’ age at 300 million years. “It was a prehistoric drainage system and there is marine life mixed with clay” in the walls.
Hearth Scares Ball set for James White’s Fort
If you think caves are grey, get ready for a splash of color at the From 7-11 p.m. Friday, Haunted Cave. Jim Whidby has named formations such as “big Oct. 28, James White’s Fort bird’s legs” and “alligator’s head” and, errrr, “Dolly Parton.” will become the stage for the first Hearth Scares Ball. Executive Director Sam Maynard describes the Hearth Scares Ball as “a frighteningly fun way to showcase James White’s Fort as a premiere location for events including Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our tailgating parties, weddings experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships. and many other gatherLaura Bailey

ings for groups who want to be downtown with the Knoxville Skyline as the backdrop.” The event will feature Lori Tucker as the master of ceremonies, dancing to the sounds of the Chillbillies, appetizers provided by Rothschild Catering, a costume party, silent auction and other adult treats as the evening unfolds on the back lawn of the Fort. Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased
This pathway in the cave is totally handicap accessible and goes 120 feet below the surface.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • OCTOBER 24, 2011 • A-9
Central choir invited to London By Betty Bean Central High School choral students were treated to a touch of class last Wednesday when they entertained VIP guests who flew across the Atlantic to invite them to participate in the January 2013 London International Choral Festival. The visitors included Catherine Longworth, Lord Mayor of Westminster; her husband, John (whose official title is “Consort”); and festival executive director Robert Bone and his wife, Geri. The Longworths and the Bones were crisscrossing the United States last week visiting schools that have been chosen for this honor. Seniors Katie Bales, Katie Davis and Molly Shipman, all members of the Select Choraliers, will have graduated by the time the trip comes about, but Bales said she’s hoping to go along as a chaperone. They acted as tour guides and showed the guests around the library, the commons and the gymnasium. The guests were particularly interested in the “Rachel’s Challenge” signs bearing hundreds of signatures of students who pledged to practice kindness and generosity in their everyday lives. When they finally made their way down to the Choral Music Department, they were greeted by director Beckye Thomas, who produced photographic proof that her students had been to England before. “The Central High School choir went to London for the

the best choral directors in your country.” Lady Longworth, who was wearing the Lord Mayor’s ceremonial robe of bright red wool trimmed in fox fur and adorned with a gold emblem on the back, cracked a couple of jokes about accents – “It is you who have the accents” – before she extended the formal invitation: “Come over and show us what you can do.” The visitors presented Thomas and their student hosts with some gifts including a ceremonial mug commemorating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation before they listened to the chorus sing “Let it shine.” “Sell it,” Thomas urged them. “Shine!” And they did.

Lions to help Whittle Springs Middle School By Greg Householder The Knox North Lions Club met last Wednesday at an entirely new location – Whittle Springs Middle School. The Lions formally adopted the school at a ceremony broadcast for the students and staff on the school’s closed circuit television system. Principal Dr. Jill Hobby is no stranger to the Knox North Lions. A few years ago when Hobby was an assistant principal at Northwest Middle School, she was the contact person for the Lions who had previously had an adoption agreement with Northwest. Each Lion received a gift of appreciation, a flattened wine bottle cheese cutting board monogrammed with the Lion’s initial. The cutting boards were made by members of Cari Disney’s art class.

Trinity Christian Academy 4-H Club has adopted a section of the Beaver Creek Watershed in Halls. Members of the club have collected approximately 400 pounds of trash, most of which has traveled through the watershed during storms. Statistics from Keep America Beautiful report that trash in waterways is a source of toxins and bacteria, causing water contamination. Trashy areas create a reduction in property values and community pride. Knox County Stormwater Management says the county has more than 600 miles of streams which need to be adopted. In addition to picking up trash, the TCA 4H Club, with special permission from Parks and Greenway coordinator Rebeckah Jane Justice, has built, painted and

Gibbs band wins big at Heritage
Halls swim team dominates Sevier County
By Ruth White The Gibbs High School marching band recently traveled to Heritage High School to compete in the 30th annual Volunteer Classic Band Festival. The band, under the direction of Jon Humber, earned an Excellent rating at the event and the percussion also brought home honors of Excellent. The color guard, drum majors and majorettes all received individual ratings of Superior for the competition. Drum majors this season are Gabby Arms and Stephanie Daugherty. The majorettes include head majorette Autumn Keener, Autumn Berry, Alissa Keener and Leigha Witt. The majorettes are instructed by former Halls High and UT majorette Lindsey Cupp. The school color guard is led by instructors Shane Archer and Katie Staniszewski and student leaders

In search of signature win If all goes well, some day we will look back and say THAT was the Derek Dooley signature victory. It is not easy to score a sizzling upset or just win a meaningful run-of-the-mill thriller when you are fighting with a short stick – but it has happened. Robert R. Neyland did it early in his career, third Saturday in October, 1928, edge of Tuscaloosa town, young Vols against the vaunted Alabama Crimson Tide. The then Army captain fed enemy overconfidence by suggesting they let the clock run if the home team got too far ahead.
FISH DAY

Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff for a Tennessee touchdown while much of the crowd was still settling into seats. Alabama almost answered but flubbed the extra point. Farmer Johnson racked up a safety. McEver scored again. So did the Tide. It also knocked out Bobby
Dodd. The second half was a pointless war. Tennessee won 15-13. On that day were born the Flamin’ Sophomores, the stuff of legends. They grew up to go undefeated for 33 games. Believe me, Neyland had other signature wins. Hall of fame coach Bowden Wyatt got his in Atlanta, Nov. 10, 1956, third-ranked Volunteers against No. 2 Georgia Tech. This was a classic in Bobby Gordon punting, defensive fundamentals and field position. It pivoted on two Johnny Majors passes to Buddy Cruze. Tommy Bronson scored the lone touchdown from the 1. He also grabbed the clinching interception.
Kneier named to volleyball all-tourney team
petition at South-Doyle High this past weekend and will compete Saturday, Oct. 29, at Alcoa High. Kneier Pressure was awesome or awful. Every play seemed life or death. Tech threatened in the first quarter, got as close as the UT 28 and PUNTED on fourth and four. Why would Dodd do that? Said Wyatt: “Because he knew he couldn’t make it.” Tennessee ran a play and quick-kicked, 68 yards to the other end of Grant Field, a safer place to play. The Vols scored in the third quarter. The conversion attempt failed. Pressure intensified. Great game ended with Tennessee in possession, Tech standing by helpless, UT fans counting down the seconds, 14,
Payton Kneier was named to the KISL Volleyball Varsity Small Division AllTournament Team. She plays for the First Lutheran Lions which placed fourth in the tournament held Oct. 8.
13, 12, 11. What a delightful day! Doug Dickey had a signature tie with Alabama and three great victories but the unforgettable game was the Rosebonnet Bowl, 37-34 over UCLA in Memphis. Dewey Warren did it. The Swamp Rat ran so long to complete a 1-yard run, officials considered delay of game. Bill Battle’s big win was the amazing rout of Air Force in the 1971 Sugar Bowl. Praise be to Bobby Scott. You have a choice in Majors’ dramatic coaching career, the Miracle at South Bend, terrific comeback victory over Notre Dame,
or the 35-7 mauling of Miami in the 1986 Sugar Bowl. That one remains a memorial to defensive strategist Ken Donahue. The signature victory for Phillip Fulmer was the 1998 national championship, 2316 over Florida State. The ending against Arkansas was better. This next thought is tricky. Read at your own risk. There were two signatures in ’92, Georgia and Florida, back to back, while Fulmer was fi ll-in coach. Great victories. Careful about going there. Might start a riot.

hat do you get when you take four brothers, add a dream and put them on a fishing boat together in Destin? If you’re the Perry brothers, you get a deli and grill opened in Halls that has a little something for everyone. The Perrys are longtime Halls residents and they all grew up in the kitchen. “Our dad was a great cook,” said co-owner Bill Perry. “We all learned many things from him.” Scott Perry has a background in culinary arts and it has been a lifelong dream to
own a restaurant. Thanks to his brothers, he is living his dream. The restaurant is a fusion of a deli and a grill, offering a delicious variety of hearty sandwiches piled high with fresh meats, freshly made soups and sides, pizza and daily specials. “Our food is good quality at a fair price,” said Bill.

News from Rural/Metro
Leading by flu shot example By Rob Webb The flu is unpredictable and its s e ve r it y can vary from year to year. But this upp e r r e s pi r atory virus can cause Webb serious health issues and even death in those affected – especially children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. We at Rural/Metro know that the flu shot is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. That’s why we recently held our annual on-site flu vaccination clinic providing nearly 400 flu shots to Rural/ Metro employees as well as employees of the UT Police Department, 911 Dispatch, Karns Volunteer Fire Department and the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. The Centers for Disease Control recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. It is not, however, a guarantee that you will not be victim of this virus. These precautions will help prevent or limit the spread of flu virus: ■ Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue if you cough or sneeze. ■ Wash your hands often with warm water and soap for 15 to 20 seconds. Alcohol based sanitizers can also be effective, but does not replace hand washing! ■ Avoid touching your
food is made to order. Step inside the clean, open dining area and the feeling of a warm, cozy gathering place comes to mind. It’s not only a place for lunch, but a place to bring friends to watch a game on television, celebrate a victory or catch up with friends. If you’re looking for a tasty dinner on the weekend, stop by Friday and Saturday night and try out a center-cut pork chop or hand cut rib eye steak. Burger lovers will enjoy the freshly patted ground chuck burgers
eyes, nose and mouth. ■ Avoid close contact with those who have the flu. ■ Use disinfecting wipes or sprays on hard surfaces such as copy machines, telephones and countertops, as the virus can be spread via hard surface contact. Many avoid the flu shot based on false information. Know the facts: Myth: You can get the flu from the flu vaccine. False. This is impossible. The flu vaccine does not actually carry a live virus; it contains inactivated or weakened organisms. Vaccine manufacturers grow the flu virus in eggs, then cleanse and chemically treat the virus to deactivate it. Myth: The side effects of the vaccine are worse than the flu itself. False. Most people who get the flu shot have no reaction. Up to 25 percent may have some redness and slight swelling at the site of injection; the risk of a severe allergic reaction in those who receive a vaccination is less than one in four million. Myth: Getting the influenza vaccine every year isn’t necessary. False. The vaccination needs to be given every year. Because flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines are updated from one season to the next to protect against the most recent and most commonly circulating viruses. Flu season is upon us. Help protect yourself and your loved ones with a flu shot now.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
New hip from Fort Sanders Joint Center helps Gatlinburg woman’s knee pain The knee bone’s connected to the ‌ hip bone? Well, no. But the nerves running between them are linked, and they can confuse pain signals. Fifty-seven-year-old Linda Clabo of Cosby, Tennessee, discovered that the severe pain in her left knee was really caused by arthritis in her hip. “It was a shocker,â€? she says with a laugh. “I never had any pain in my hip; it was always in my knee. I had transferred pain. My husband and I were both in shock because I’m such an active person anyway.â€? Clabo works for the city of Gatlinburg in its landscaping department. Each year she plants owers and baskets around the city, decorates the Christmas tree and makes dozens of beautiful bows to delight winter visitors. Plus, Clabo has always exercised in addition to her active work. “I have done weight training, and I ran between one and three miles each day. I would walk if I couldn’t run,â€? she says. Clabo also played golf with her husband Tom. But the severe knee pain was putting a damper on all of that by last spring. “I managed to work, but I was in such pain,â€? she explains. Fort Sanders orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Edkin told her she would need a replacement of her left hip, which was deteriorated from arthritis and causing the pain in her knee. “I was scared to death, because I had no idea what was going to happen,â€? she says. But that all changed when she went to the Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.
Linda Clabo (pictured left and above) enjoys making downtown Gatlinburg beautiful by planting hundreds of flower baskets and hanging seasonal decorations.
About two weeks before her September 12 surgery, Clabo attended the center’s required pre-operative class to learn what would happen before and after surgery. “They explained everything and what I had to do to take care of myself. It was very helpful,� she
says. The Joint Replacement Center also encouraged her to enlist her husband, and he came with her to the class. Clabo’s surgery went smoothly. She was out of bed just hours after surgery and soon walking. “I did so well with the surgery and
therapy, I just breezed through,� she laughs. Having received pain medicine in the hospital, Clabo found she didn’t need any when she went home two days later. “I did not take pain pills when I came home from the hospital. The pain was gone,� she says. Today she continues therapy sessions twice a week and does additional exercises and daily walking at home. “I decided this isn’t going to get me down, so I’m back into being active again. I’m taking care of myself,� Clabo declares. At just four weeks after surgery, Clabo says she would recommend the Joint Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone who needs a hip or knee replacement.
“They were so good to me and my husband, I couldn’t have asked for better,â€? she says. “The nurses were great, the therapists were fantastic.
