Classmates honor Matt Faris By Jake Mabe When Matthew James “Matt” Faris died at age 26 on April 5, his classmates wanted to do something special. So, the Halls High School Class of 2004 collected donations with the intention of sending flowers to his funeral service. “We had some $500 extra,” says Sydney Flynn, a 2004 Halls High grad, “so we had a monument to Matt placed at the (school’s) main entrance underneath the tree. “Matthew was so sweet and kind and he’d always come up to you and say, ‘Hey

Recruitment was a little tough, says RAM Foundation Volunteer Coordinator Laura Kirschenmann,

because the Stand Down was on a Thursday, when most doctors are working. But a core group of medical providers and volunteers can always be found to staff RAM clinics. The group has provided staff and equipment for 27 clinics this year, she said, but serving veterans is a special opportunity. While many of them receive medical care through the VA, they don’t always get dental and eye care, which is expensive.

Issue: The neighborhood will be disrupted by increased traffic by Fountain City Lake. Response: Although our street address is Fountain Road, our ingress and egress is actually on Cedar Lane; therefore, traffic does not typically drive past Fountain City Lake. We do not anticipate an increase in hearse traffic. Issue: There will be visible smoke and fly ash and noticeable fumes and odors produced. The absence of scrubbers will allow fly ash to exit the crematory. Response: Today’s state-of-theart crematories are clean and very efficient. The two-chamber model being installed at Gentry-Griffey is produced by B&L Cremation Systems, an international leading producer of crematories. Scrubbers are not a needed component to the twochamber design, which eliminates emissions such as smoke or odors; only heat is emitted. Issue: The crematory was improperly permitted. Response: Gentry-Griffey is zoned commercial and the crematory was properly permitted as an accessory use to an existing funeral home. In fact, at the Fountain City Town Hall meeting on Oct. 10, both Council member Nick Della Volpe and former Council member Carlene Malone stated that it had been appropriately permitted. We followed all requirements presented to us by Knox County government. There is no 30-day notice requirement here. The funeral home is also licensed and inspected by the Tennessee Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers. Issue: The mercury emitted from the crematory is very dangerous. Response: According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are many ways mercury emissions are released into the air. Common sources include municipal incinerators, the breaking of used fluorescent tube lamps, dental facilities, production and disposal of batteries, household trash disposal and residential heating, along with the operation of crematories. Crematories are one of the lowest sources of mercury emissions. In fact, EPA states that crematories statistically represent zero percent of the total inventory for national mercury emission rates, according to their Best Point Estimates. Issue: Gentry-Griffey is not locally managed and doesn’t care about our community. Response: Gentry-Griffey has been a part of Fountain City since 1948, and Jerry Griffey, longtime owner and licensed funeral director and embalmer, continues to be part of the funeral home’s staff. Managing partner Eric Botts also lives in Fountain City and would not support any project that causes a negative impact to this community. We want to be good neighbors which is why we are making efforts to provide this educational information.

community Fundraiser set for Haitian initiative The Haitian Pedagogy Institute (HPI), a local nonprofit with a mission to build schools and provide free, secondary education for the children of Haiti, will have a fundraiser 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Old City Entertainment Venue. Ben Maney will entertain. According to HPI founders Kymberle Kaser and Sara Malley, only 20 percent of the Haitian population is able to attend secondary school – similar to our middle and high schools. The barrier to secondary education is attributed to multiple factors, including the privatization of education, which makes school costly for families simply trying to provide their children one meal a day, and limited access as a result of limited capacities and school location. This leaves a large portion of the population with only an elementary or below education level, which makes it difficult for the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere to achieve sustainable, economic development. HPI hopes to begin

bridging that gap by building schools in regions with the greatest need and allowing children (and adults) to attend school at no cost. Each school site will have an agricultural plot to provide food for the school and a source of vocational training for the students. In addition, a fi ltered well will be on site at each school to provide the students with access to clean drinking water. In the long-term, HPI also plans to have on-site dormitories to provide children living on the streets a safe place to live while finishing their education. HPI will utilize sustainable building and operating practices, including compost latrines, agricultural compost, wind and solar where applicable, and locally made clay stoves and smokeless briquettes for cooking purposes. To learn more about HPI or about attending the organization’s fundraising events, visit www.salklas. com or facebook under Haitian Pedagogy Institute and Lyrics for Learning, or email saramalley@gmail. com.

Medicine collection is Saturday The city of Knoxville will join with Knox County and several surrounding counties to sponsor an East Tennessee Medications Collection event 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12. The event is sponsored by the East Tennessee Regional Medication Collection Coalition and offers residents in Knox, Roane, Blount, Anderson and Scott counties an opportunity to turn in unwanted and outdated prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines for proper disposal. In Knoxville and Knox County the event will be held at the West Town Mall parking lot on the Morrell Road, or east, side of the mall. Detailed information about the location of collection events in other counties is available at www. medicationcollection.org.

Not outsourcing custodians is the right thing to do Next time you see Cindy Buttry, Indya Kincannon, Mike McMillan, Kim Sepesi or Pam Trainor, give ’em a big smile and shake their hand.

Jake Mabe

These five Knox County school board members did the right thing last week by voting against Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s recommendation to outsource school custodial duties. As a colleague said, it is a bad idea and a poor, poor way to help balance the school budget. On behalf of this newspaper’s editorial staff, I’d like to apologize for not stepping up to plead the custodians’ cases. And I’ll be honest. When I first heard about the idea, after some initial grumblings, I thought it might be a good idea. Save money. Be efficient. Plus, I’d heard that a private firm would probably hire all or most of the current custodians.

But here’s what I didn’t think about. You and I both know that a private company would be under no responsibil- Whitson ity to do that – or to keep them for long even if they did. A private company could also raise health insurance deductibles through the roof even if they kept the current personnel, or even worse, not offer benefits at all. And the benefits are a huge perk and no doubt essential for virtually every custodian in the school system. When the news hit that outsourcing was being considered, I immediately thought about Vivian Whitson and Bobby Walton. Vivian died in September. She spent more than 30 years working as the day custodian at Halls High School. She was a sweet, sweet soul. And she was also a dynamo. “The thing that stands out to me,” former school principal Roy Mullins said shortly after Vivian’s death,

“is that she took so much pride in making that school look good. Vivian worked at a fast pace. She didn’t slow down. Walton She would go outside the building and pick up trash if that wasn’t done. She was an extremely hard worker and very dedicated.” Think you’re going to get that from somebody who doesn’t have a vested interest in the school and the community? I don’t think so. Bobby Walton has been a custodian at Halls High for as long as I can remember. I often see him working when I drop by to get stories. When he fell ill on the job earlier in the year and was rushed to the hospital, one of the first things he said was that he wanted to get back to work. He was worried about the school. He’s also long been a big sports booster. He’s worked the scoreboard at home basketball games at least since I was in high school and I’ve been gone for more than 15 years.

Pellissippi State Community College will host a Veterans Day observance Thursday and Friday, Nov. 10-11, that will include a reading of the names of U.S. service members who have died in combat post-9/11, participation in a national moment of silence and a display of memorabilia provided by the college’s veterans.

Think you’re going to get that from somebody who doesn’t have a vested interest in the school and the community? I don’t think so. Kincannon made the best case for the custodians last week. At lunch, she said that balancing the school budget on the backs of some of the lowest paid employees in the system is a bad idea. “Why should we let someone profit on our budget problem? “We’re glad when our kids do well on TCAPs or ACTs. It’s part of the bigger goal to create a community of learners and give (students) an opportunity to have a better life. And we’re not giving (custodians) a living wage. It’s contrary to our ultimate goal.” In case I don’t see you soon, Indya, Cindy, Mike, Kim and Pam, here’s my hand of thanks.

Former UT football player Inquoris “Inky” Johnson shakes hands and chats with folks following his keynote speech at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Team FCA fundraising banquet held last week at the Knoxville Marriott. Johnson suffered a nerve injury during the 2006 Air Force game that forced him to quit playing football.

By Jake Mabe After the injury that changed his life forever, Inky Johnson could have slammed the door on the rest of the world and few people would’ve blamed him. He’d worked hard to get a Division I football scholarship to UT, practicing late by the glow of the headlights of his mother’s car and getting up at 6:30 a.m. Saturdays to go running with his father. After getting to UT as a firstgeneration college student, he’d defied the odds to become a starter. His goal, his lifelong dream, was to get to the NFL, mostly to give his family a better life. All of it came crashing down in seconds, during a play with two minutes left in the Sept. 9, 2006, game against Air Force. Inky went to make a tackle, the kind he’d made hundreds of times before, and fell limp to the ground. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Doctors didn’t know whether he’d make it. Nerve damage meant he’d never play football again. And, yet, Inky said at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes TeamFCA fundraising banquet last week at the Knoxville Marriott, it’s all been a blessing, all part of what he sees as God’s plan for his life. “Every day I get up, open my eyes and take a breath, I thank God.” Inquoris “Inky” Johnson grew up in a two-bedroom house he shared with 13 family members near Atlanta, Ga. His high school, Alonzo A. Crim, was nicknamed “Crime High.” The

dropout rate was higher than the graduation rate. And, yet, Inky had a loving family. And he had a dream to one day play in the National Football League. He parents transferred him to Tucker High School to give him a better shot at making a Division I football program. Inky said no. He parents transferred him anyway. First football game at Tucker, he finds himself at the bottom of a pile, his ankle twisted by an opponent, ligaments torn, out for the season. So he asked to be transferred back to Crim. His junior year, first quarter of the first game, he broke his clavicle, out for the season again. His senior year, he decided to give up football and

play hoops. His coach said no. “How many 5-10 point guards do you see in the NBA?” Inky played football his senior year. UT’s head football coach at the time, Phillip Fulmer, came recruiting. While everybody else told Inky they liked his promise but weren’t sure if he’d make the grades, Fulmer told Inky he believed in him, that he knew he’d qualify and he’d see him in the summer. “That influence on me as a young man was priceless. I made it, all because that man took a chance on me.” During Media Day his freshman year, Inky says some reporter shoved a mic in his face and jokingly asked whether he thought he’d see any playing time.

Inky told him he’d become a starter, and he did. All the hard work, everything, seemed to be paying off by Inky’s junior year. Then came the Air Force game, the tackle, the injury, the nerve damage. He credits FCA’s UT campus director, James Mitchell, for his discipleship, for sharing the Word with Inky and his teammates. “Football is just a game. There’s a lot of life to be lived after football. I could see how God navigated the whole situation.” He’s lived with constant pain for five years. He’s never played another second of football and never will. But now, he shares his story by speaking to young people. He’s written a book. He’s worked as the sports and health coordinator for JustLead, a program of the Emerald Youth Foundation, a local nonprofit inner-city ministry. And he still smiles and says God is good. “I consider the situation a blessing. It’s made me a better man, a better father, a better husband, a better friend, a better son.” His four young cousins, all inspired by Inky’s journey and Fulmer’s belief in him, went to college. “There are not enough adjectives in my vocabulary to describe this young man,” Fulmer said at the banquet. “He has the heart of a warrior.” ‘I don’t think about myself all the time anymore, I think about what I can do for somebody else,” Inky says. “Now you’re living.”

New life for an old school By Wendy Smith

Commission considers buttoning up County Commission is considering a pushbutton voting system. Instead of answering “yea” or “nay” as the clerk calls the roll, commissioners will press a button to record their votes. Among other advantages, the system should reduce the incidence of checking the direction of the wind by commissioners who don’t want to end up on the losing end of a vote. Over the years some commissioners (the departed Greg “Lumpy” Lambert immediately comes to mind) have completed more “passes” than Peyton Manning. We applaud commission for tiptoeing into the 21st century, but the system under consideration doesn’t quite go far enough. These additions to the bland yes or no choices surely will please commissioners as well as political junkies who watch or attend commission meetings. The Lifeline Button: We admit to shamelessly ripping off this idea from “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” A commissioner torn by uncertainty pushes the lifeline button which connects to an advisor who counsels him on the correct vote. The advisor could be an attorney, a developer, a campaign manager, a polling service or – in rare instances – an ordinary resident of the commissioner’s district. A primitive form of the lifeline was utilized by several commissioners on Black Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2007. Cell phones and hallway briefings became de facto lifeline buttons. The Audience Participation Button: As if more evidence were needed, I offer as proof that I need to get a life my familiarity with “America’s Funniest Videos.” Mimicking the television show’s method for selecting the week’s winner, the hesitant commissioner would ask the audience its preference and would be bound by the result. (Note: A minimum of three audience members must be present. Members of the press are eligible to vote on calls for the question and motions to adjourn.) The “P” Button: No, this does not stand for “pass.” Commissioners, especially males, whose youth is in the rearview mirror will readily appreciate the utility of the “P” button. (Thanks to Commissioner Mike Brown for this suggestion.) The Stealth Button: This refinement may be very useful when a commissioner is voting contrary to his constituents’ wishes and busloads of those constituents have jammed the auditorium. The stealth button allows the commissioner to record a yes or no vote but does not reveal it on the screen visible to audience members until after the other votes are in. The stealth button should reduce or at least delay catcalls and derogatory comments aimed at commissioners who think they know what’s best no matter what their foolish constituents think. The King-Seymour Button: This button calls attorneys John King and Arthur Seymour Jr. to the podium before a commissioner votes. It should only be pressed after using the “P” button. In keeping with the spirit of these suggestions we’ve included a wireless device in this week’s edition of the Shopper-News that will enable readers to vote yes or no on each proposed refinement. Contact me if you need help, but keep the “P” button handy while waiting for a response. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

It’s hard to imagine that the beautifully-renovated former school in South Knoxville has been the center of so much heated debate. The conversion of Flenniken Elementary School to a 48-unit permanent supportive housing development, called Flenniken Landing, almost didn’t happen. “Flenniken Landing: A Story of Hope and Redemption,” written by Chris Martin, executive director of Knoxville Leadership Foundation (KLF), describes how many times the project was nearly derailed. The school, built in stages beginning in 1919, closed for good in 1994. Knoxville native and developer David Arning considered putting condos in the space, but determined that property values in the neighborhood wouldn’t support renovation costs. In 2008, Arning joined Southeastern Housing Foundation, a subsidiary of KLF, and the idea of turning the building into permanent supportive housing was born. It was a longshot from the very beginning. To get off the ground, the project needed several sources of funding, including a grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and affordable housing tax credits from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). In fall of 2009, the project came before the City Council for a use on review hearing.

Members of KLF knew they didn’t have the support of the majority, but after an impassioned plea by the Rev. Ragan Schriver, the council voted 5-4 in favor of the proposal. In the summer of 2010, the major investor in the project withdrew, and the THDA gave KLF 30 days to find a replacement. Miraculously, they did it. But that investor backed out 30 days before the project was to close. In a desperate attempt to save the project, Arning suggested a call to the first investor. Within four hours, a new deal, with the original investor, had been reached. “You can’t say God didn’t have a big hand in this,” says Dan Myers of KLF as he sits in the former school auditorium, now a sun-drenched hall

with removable chairs and a large media screen. This is where he hopes church groups will host events, like dinners, movie nights and worship services, for the residents, who will begin moving in by mid-November. “Now we have to do what we said we were going to do,” says Myers, as he watches volunteers furnish the apartments. “The community has to see us succeed.” The community is definitely watching. Throughout the life of the city of Knoxville and Knox County’s Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, which evolved into Compassion Knoxville last spring, there has been much discussion about whether or not permanent supportive housing belongs in neigh-

borhoods. Flenniken’s new residents will be formerly chronically homeless, meaning that they have either been continuously homeless for a year or had four episodes of homelessness in three years. But all residents will have a verifiable source of income, and all will pay rent. An onsite apartment manager will collect rent and see that the property is maintained. Residents will work closely with a case manager who will assist them with life skills and help them work toward self-sufficiency. Minvilla Manor, which has been open for a year, has served as a model for the new facility. “We’ve had the luxury of seeing what works and what doesn’t work,” says Myers. Security measures, like one supervised point of entry and numerous video cameras, are reassuring to neighbors, who may worry that residents are dangerous. But most measures are actually in place for residents who are vulnerable to outside influences, he says. The one-bedroom and efficiency apartments at Flenniken Landing are surprisingly stylish. Johnson and Galyon was contractor on the project, and the completed apartments are comparable to downtown lofts, with high ceilings and open floor plans. Church groups and other organizations are supplying furnishings for each unit. To those who still have concerns about the facility, Myers offers this invitation: come take a look. Flenniken Landing will be dedicated Saturday, Nov. 12, and the building will be open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To donate While there is no debt on the Flenniken Landing building, Knoxville Leadership Foundation continues to raise funds to support the facility’s case managers. Those who donate $50 will receive a copy of KLF Executive Director Chris Martin’s book, “Flenniken Landing: A Story of Hope and Redemption,” and permanent plaques will identify individuals or groups that donate $1,000 to sponsor an apartment.

We outsource our transportation (to bus contractors). … The administration and vendor have worked hard to get the best plan we can.”

Retired Knoxville business owner and former City Council member Rex L. Davis, who has long been active in Rogero the local Republican Party, announced that he and a group of military veterans who live in the city of Knoxville have formed “Veterans for Madeline” in support of Madeline Rogero’s candidacy for mayor. “Madeline is a proven and successful leader who understands the business and economic needs of our community,” Davis said. “With her election, there will be no need for a transition period in city government. She has been there and understands how city government works. Our group feels

New â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;battleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Korean War veteran Lorraine Furtner

ince birth, Korean War veteran Al Anthony Fiori is accustomed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst everâ&#x20AC;? experiences, so is it surprising for him to still be in that situation at age 82? For the ďŹ rst time in his life, Fiori is battling unemployment and possibly discrimination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never retired. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still looking for a job,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. Fiori is physically ďŹ t (he just singlehandedly installed a new roof over his carport) and mentally sharp, with an impressive resume boasting nearly 60 years in broadcasting and advertising. But he says no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responded to the 50 applications heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placed. Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory is potential employers determine age based on graduation dates and automatically decline him. He cannot prove the discrimination, so rather than give up Fiori took advantage of the 60/65 Disabled provision at Pellissippi State Community College (PSCC) where Tennessee residents over the age of 60 can audit classes free of charge (plus application/individual class fees). Those over age 65 can take classes for course credit for $70. PSCC director of marketing Julia Wood said 92 students currently receive the senior citizen discount. Going to college in his 80s is one area in which Fiori is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst.â&#x20AC;? He is the sixth oldest student at Pellissippi this semester. Fiori attends the Introduction to Screenwriting class taught by professor Edward Francisco. Franciso said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to writing, our nontraditional students are often among the best. Our purpose is to help (students) become professional writers.â&#x20AC;? A writing career is Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next

goal. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on a book about how rock and roll music changed the world, several articles and two movies. His life reads like a screenplay. Fiori is ďŹ rst generation American, born Almondo Antonio Vincenzo Fiori to Italian immigrants Biaggio and Fannie Fiori in 1929. Living as such in the U.S. during World War II, Fiori remembers their family being subjected to FBI searches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to own weapons, short-wave radios or even a camera.â&#x20AC;? The searches didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen Fioriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patriotism and he gladly served when drafted into the military, even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;vehemently opposed to war unless directly attacked.â&#x20AC;? As a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force from 1948-52, Firoi served with the USAF inaugural air refueling squadron, the 43rd Squadron, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ rst global refuellers.â&#x20AC;? Fiori participated in refueling of the ďŹ rst nonstop around the world ďŹ&#x201A;ight: Boeing B-50A Lucky Lady II, Feb. 26 to March 2, 1949, taking 94 hours and 1 minute. After his tour of duty, Fiori followed his dream â&#x20AC;&#x153;to work in the movies.â&#x20AC;? He became the ďŹ rst person in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history to graduate college with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in broadcasting from Los Angeles State College in 1956. Fiori immediately began working in radio and ďŹ lm, where he adopted the personality name of Al Anthony. Fiori worked as an uncredited paid extra on 12 ďŹ lms, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blackboard Jungle,â&#x20AC;? a cuttingedge movie for its time about juvenile delinquency which starred Glenn Ford and Sidney Poitier. While a disc jockey, Fiori helped

set up the ďŹ rst radio station between San Diego and Los Angeles: KSLR in Oceanside, Calif. He became well known while serving as executive vice president for KFXM Tiger radio, in San Bernadino, Calif., working for Tullis and Hearne Broadcasting Company. Firoi laughed recalling a time when no one would play the Beach Boys and he could easily get them to play gigs for his radio station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put those guys on the map,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. From 1962 to 1963 Fiori also produced and hosted the syndicated television show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al Anthony Dance Party.â&#x20AC;? He continued in broadcasting until 1991, then utilized his knowledge and creativity to open the Double A advertising agency. In 1999 Fiori and wife Mari moved to Tennessee to be near their ďŹ rst grandchild because Mari was diagnosed with scleroderma, a severe auto-immune disease, and given two to seven yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life expectancy. Eleven years and ďŹ ve more grandchildren after her diagnosis, Mari is still ďŹ ghting and the couple

lives in Knoxville. Fiori worked at Jewelry Television from 1998 until a large layoff in 2008. He then worked as the electronics department manager for Walmart until 2010. Out of work since that time, Fiori ďŹ nds his new joblessness uncomfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep thinking Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too old for anything, even though I ďŹ nished rooďŹ ng my house myself,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, though, you have to think about who you are and what you have done.â&#x20AC;? Of course he is proud of his time in the Air Force and to have been involved in some historical moments. In October, Fiori ďŹ&#x201A;ew on an HonorAir ďŹ&#x201A;ight to Washington, D.C. Fiori is most gratiďŹ ed with all the people he has met, his accomplishments in broadcasting and being a pioneer in the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think that somehow Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve touched every single person on the planet through music and my contributions to the music industry,â&#x20AC;? said Fiori.

I have said before in this space that there are times when I lie down to sleep and imagine that I am crawling into the Father’s lap, to curl up like a child – secure, warm, protected, loved. I believe that I am not the only one who enjoys that feeling. I think the Father enjoys it as much as any parent who has the privilege of holding and comforting, of protecting and loving a child. Having enjoyed that sheltering love, I am better prepared the next morning, to go into the world to share it with others of God’s children, some of whom have had little enough love, and some who have no idea that God’s lap is available to them.

that we give thanks for the blessings of the day, and call them to mind again? Would it mean that we acknowledge our shortcomings, our failures, our sins? Would it move us closer to God, move us into the mighty presence of our Lord? Would it mean we would sleep more peacefully? Would it mean that we could give our worries, our fretfulness, the cares of the day into His keeping? Would finding “a place for the Lord” be a mezuzah at the doorway of the night? Would it be a reminder to whisper a prayer of thanksgiving, to acknowledge God’s presence with us as we sleep, to accept with joy the gifts of rest and peace?

a totally different Scripture passage), I realized what an appropriate passage this is for a night-time prayer. Like the childhood prayer “Now I lay me down to sleep, …” this text can be a way to remember the Lord as we give ourselves over to the vulnerability of sleep: “I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord.” I realize that I am taking David’s words out of context and giving them new meaning, but to give the Lord a place in our lying down to rest? What would that mean? What would it mean, as we turn to rest at night, to “find a place for the Lord”?

Halls FFA chapter earns national ranking By Jake Mabe The Halls High/North Knox Vocational FFA (Future Farmers of America) Chapter completed a banner trip to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 18-22, by earning a national ranking and seeing two of its alumni receive American FFA degrees. The chapter was selected from more than 650 national candidates as a 2-Star Gold winner in the National FFA Chapter Award program. Sponsored by John Deere and a special project of the National FFA Foundation, the award program recognizes FFA chapters for developing and conducting a detailed Program of Activities (POA). Each activity provides opportunities for members to excel in student, chapter or community development. It represents the top 10 percent of FFA students in the nation. Advisor Mike Blankenship, who also heads the agriculture program, says the students logged more than 1,100 volunteer hours while he displayed the chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lengthy POA submission. Just three examples of activities included in the

Blankenship said that Home Federal Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halls branch manager Patrick Abbott, a Halls High grad, helped them secure $125 worth of pennies to use with the booth, with each visitor â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting their two centsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of information from Tennessee.â&#x20AC;?

Book characters come to life at Shannondale By Ruth White Shannondale Elementary School students and staff members got in the spirit of dressing up last week on Book Character Day. Melanie Ownby’s class

members each wrote a report on the book they read and the character they chose to dress as on the special day. When asked who was going to receive an “A” for their report, every hand in the class shot up in the air.

What do you get when you combine a zoo keeper, train engineer and Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz”? Book Character day at Shannondale Elementary and a lot of smiles.

Shannondale principal Dr. Joy Foster dressed as a striking Cleopatra.

If you visited Shannondale Elementary on Book Character day, there was a good chance that you were greeted by Mary Poppins (aka Debbie Wesley).

Max Olson was one of many students portraying a favorite book character (Harry Potter) at Shannondale Elementary School last week. Miranda Foust (as Junie B. Jones), Ella Blair (cave person) and Mason Downs (Mario brother) enjoy creative costumes.

A weekend with ‘ready or not’ tot By Betty Bean Central High School senior Teonna Pierce had a hard weekend with the baby her little sister dubbed Antonio. “I had to watch it, and every time it cried I would have to figure out which key worked – the diaper change key, the feeding key, the burp key – and it still cried all night,” Teonna said. “I tried really hard not to use the panic key.” “I wish you could have seen her expression when she came back Monday,” said Brittany Underwood Bracco, Teonna’s Child and Lifespan Development teacher. “She couldn’t wait to bring that baby back,” said Bracco, a 2004 graduate of Halls High School. “Antonio” is one of five computerized “Ready or Not Tots” that Bracco uses to teach about the responsibilities of parenthood. Every weekend, two dolls go home with different students, providing them with a huge dose of near-reality. (The number of take-home tots is limited because Bracco has only two carriers). The dolls are programmed to simulate

if I had a baby in a carrier, she’d talk to it, hold it and couldn’t wait to have this baby.” Teonna agreed: “I was very excited. I couldn’t wait to take it home. I just didn’t realize how hard it would be.” And does she understand the reason for requiring every student in the class to take home a doll? “I thought the reason we took it home was to show us that we weren’t ready to have kids while we were still in school and still young. “It convinced me that it Central High School Child and Lifespan Development teacher wasn’t all easy like it seemed.

In celebration of Mears years

Steve Carden remembered By Sandra Clark Steve Carden never met a stranger, and the hard work he put into the Tennessee Ass o c i at ion of Rescue Squads Steve Carden stands as a memorial. Mr. Carden, 56, died at his home in Halls on Oct. 19. A memorial service on Oct. 29 at Christ United Methodist Church drew a full house. Doug Warren, state treasurer of TARS, cited Steve’s gentle spirit, his love of laughter, his leadership and his life of service. “We had different parents, but we were brothers.” Chris Carden spoke briefly, saying, “Moral courage was not absent in my Dad.” Steve Carden battled

bladder cancer for 10 years. In addition to his son, Chris, he leaves wife D’Nice, stepchildren Chris Cavalaris and Sarah Cavalaris Zimmerman, and unofficially adopted daughter Becky Riggs. There are seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Chris Cavalaris said Steve was “a father, a friend, a mentor. Regardless of what I or he was going through, he was there for me. He wouldn’t tell you how to live. He showed us how to live.” Riggs, now a physician who came in from Washington, D.C., where she is currently studying, called Steve a good man, “good to the core.” Pastor Bruce Marston said Mr. Carden meant a lot to Christ UMC. He sang in a quartet called 4Given and the remaining three members sang two songs at his memorial service.

Stacy Rhodes, who followed Steve as executive director of TARS, said he had known Steve for 20 years and shared “wonderful memories.” Carden joined the Union County Rescue Squad at age 18. During the next 30-plus years, he drove thousands of miles and attended hundreds of meetings in virtually every county in Tennessee, Rhodes said. “He was a great friend to many people and a great leader for the Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads.” His mother, the late Barbara Carden, like Steve was a graduate of Halls High School. She taught school at Green Hill (predecessor of Copper Ridge) and later at Powell Elementary. His dad was Dewey Carden. This writer is proud to call Steve a second cousin. He was a good man who died too soon.

Return with me now to the colorful years of Ray Mears, 15 of ’em from the unlikely beginning in 1962 to the mimeographed announcement of the end in 1977. Ah yes, those were the days of Ernie and Bernie, Globetrotter warm-ups and a few Roger Peltz trips around the arena on a unicycle, all part of a delightful carnival atmosphere. Sprinkled as spice were dramatic Tennessee victories over Kentucky, the Ron Widby game at Mississippi State and the 11-6 triumph over Temple. Of course we are talking basketball. The Owls were reluctant to shoot. Those teasers and tidbits will pale compared to the tall tales to be told next weekend when old Volunteers who played for Mears gather for a rare reunion. They will have breakfast at Holiday Inn Downtown before the Vanderbilt football game. Most will join lettermen from all sports in the Lauricella Room at Neyland Stadium. Jerry Parker, Mears’ first captain and later an assistant coach, organized the basketball event. The crowd may hit a hundred. Dana Mears and Lynn Aberdeen are invited. They were the ultimate support behind the late coach and his exciting associate, the late Stu Aberdeen.

Marvin West

The Mears years started in unlikely fashion. Football coach Bowden Wyatt, acting athletic director, was pushed to replace basketball coach Johnny Sines (4-19 in his final campaign). Linebacker coach Jim McDonald got a tip from a friend in Ohio. The young guy at Wittenberg was available. He had just won the national small-college championship with a disciplined concept and remarkable offensive efficiency. McDonald came up with a copy of the Sports Illustrated story about Mears’ gimmicks, including the pre-game menu, green Jell-O and oatmeal cookies. Wittenberg’s colors are green and white. Mears switched to orange Jell-O at Tennessee. Insight: This remarkable man took the job without asking how much he would be paid. The Mears years featured Ernie Grunfeld (2,249 points) and Bernard King (1,962 points and 1,004 rebounds in three seasons). Not too far behind were A.W. Davis,

Widby, Bill Justus, Jimmy England, Tom Boerwinkle, Mike Edwards, Mike Jackson, Austin “Red” Robbins, Len Kosmalski, Bobby Croft, Don Johnson, Larry Robinson, Danny Schultz, Howard Bayne, Lloyd Richardson, Rodney Woods – the list goes on and on. The Mears years included the necessary expansion of the Armory-Fieldhouse into the illustrious Stokely Center. Along with that improvement came a Southeastern Conference championship in 1967. My, my, the memories – a near-perfect performance in Gainesville, a tense 52-50 overtime win in Lexington, three overtimes in Starkville. Widby was awesome. Justus hit the clutch free throws. The overly exuberant Volunteers celebrated by stuffing a humble sportswriter named West, fully clothed, into a cold shower. The Mears years transformed Tennessee into a national name. Included were seven seasons with 20 or more victories when that was a lot. Alas, the era did not end well. Illness overtook the coach. He departed without ceremony. Old Vols, buttering biscuits together, will take care of that. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

NEWS FROM MAKZY PEDIATRICS

More than just a stomach bug

News from First Tennessee Bank

Key represents hope By Pam Fansler

Take the time. It’s worth the 23-minute investment. Go to wuot.org and listen to “A Key to my Room: Women of the YWCA” produced by Leslie Snow with executive producer Matt Shafer Powell of WUOT. In 1925, the YWCA was a safe place for women moving to the city looking for job training. Currently, the YWCA, funded by the United Way and other Fansler donors, provides the only transitional housing for low-income women in Knoxville. Women in the YWCA’s transitional housing program are allowed to stay at the YWCA for up to two years as they rebuild their lives. During that time, they are required to pay rent ($55 per week), attend meetings to set short- and long-term goals, and learn how to live on a budget. There are counseling sessions and yoga classes. They can get a GED and learn how to use a computer and how to conduct themselves in an interview. In this inspiring 23-minute audio production, six women who have lived at the YWCA share their stories and describe how they have turned their lives around. The women tell of addiction, abuse, humiliation and shame. These are personal, intimate stories with graphic descriptions of violence and loss of hope – loss of everything. Frightened and frail, they come from jail or from life on the streets. At the YWCA, they find rebirth, redemption and hope. It starts with a key. According to Executive Director Marigail Mullin, “when women get the keys to their rooms it represents so much to them: safety, choice, freedom, independence, a new life. Some have never had their own keys. Some have been locked out. So when they’re given the key, it represents so much.” One resident says, “When I got that key, I knew I had to be responsible.” Another says, “I wanted to be successful. I started being responsible, and I liked it.” You’ll cheer for these women as they describe adversity few of us can imagine and their struggles to reclaim their lives. And you’ll be thankful that the YWCA’s transitional housing program offers them the key to a new life.

arents often mistake their children’s diarrhea or vomiting for a bug or stomach flu when more times than not that isn’t the case. Dr. Mark Far (Farkhondeh) of Makzy Pediatrics says that actual stomach flu doesn’t exist and a stomach bug is rarely the cause of the upset. “Children can get an upset stomach for many reasons,” said Far. “Stress either at school or home or improper diet is more likely the culprit.” A long time proponent of preventative medicine, Far is always careful to treat the whole child rather than just the symptoms. “We do, of course, use medication when necessary, but I am often asked to treat a symptom without proper diagnosis,” said Far. “With the stomach there can be so many reasons for the symptoms, I really need to see the patient in order to treat the correct problem.”

Far said that gastrointestinal problems (stomach upsets) can be a symptom of a more complex problem. Suppressing vomiting and diarrhea by administering medication can mask problems such as twisted bowels, acute appendicitis, poisons, etc. Far said that once a diagnosis has been secured, the most important next step is to hydrate the patient. If a child has diarrhea and/ or vomiting and all other possible illnesses are ruled out, the caregiver should discontinue feeding for one to two hours, especially with vomiting. The child can then be given liquids such as Pedialyte in small amounts – 1 to 2 ounces every 10-20 minutes in order to give the intestines a break. Liquids can then be gradually increased as tolerated. Once the diarrhea and/or vomiting have been reduced, solid foods such as bananas, yogurt, rice, applesauce

Dr. Far of Makzy Pediatrics

or toast can be reintroduced gradually with small portions. “It can take as much as two to three days to overcome simple diarrhea and for the stomach to return to normal,” said Far. “If

this treatment is followed and the symptoms do not improve, medical attention is needed.” Makzy Pediatrics is located in Maynardville on Oakland Lane and can be reached at 992-9977.

Quick shine for your ride By Suzanne Foree Neal Sunny days and dirty cars bring a big smile to Jim Rooney’s face. He hopes come April he’ll bring smiles to customers’ faces when he opens a new 3-Minute Magic Car Wash on Kingston Pike at the site of the former Caliber Car Wash. He’s had his eye on that location for 14 years and when the opportunity came to buy it, he jumped. The new facility will employ new technology which Ronney calls “one of the coolest things I’ve seen.” Wax is sprayed by hand on vehicles at the beginning of the dry wax tunnel, and as the car is pulled through, fabric strips buff the wax to a shine usually seen only when done by hand. “We can wash a car in under three minutes and wax it in under four,” said Rooney. “It will be a high gloss ﬁnish at a low cost and quick pace.” Rooney is pulling out the Caliber Car Wash convenience store to install the wax tunnel. He’ll utilize the existing standard car wash portion of the building but extend the length by 20 feet. He’s also reversing the direction by which cars enter the wash tunnel. Customers will enter off Kingston Pike and drive to the back of the lot to the pay station and wash tunnel. From there customers, who stay in their cars during the wash/wax cycles, can exit to the vacuum station and leave if they only want a wash, or continue to the dry wax tunnel. They can also opt to hit the vacuum station after exiting the wax tunnel. Washing cars isn’t his only business. Rooney has been detailing cars all over the U.S. for 14 years. Wife Teri runs that business, NDI Group. They manage new car shows and auto special events detailing vehicles to a pristine shine for the duration of a show. They’ve detailed 400 cars for the Detroit car show and 800 in Los Angeles.

BUSINESS NOTES ■ Rob Followell , CEO for Tennova’s North Knoxville Medical Center (formerly Mercy North) will speak to the Halls Business and Professional Association at noon Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Beaver Brook Country Club. All interested persons are invited. Lunch is $10. Info: 922-4136.

House calls for hearing By Anne Hart

Jim and Teri Rooney are in the business of keeping vehicles clean and shiny. Their latest 3-Minute Magic Car Wash will open in Farragut in April. They are shown at their Lovell Road location, next door to their corporate offices. Photo by S.F.Neal “That’s a lot of ﬁngerprints and nose prints on glass and lots of dust,” Jim Rooney laughs. When Volkswagen opened a new plant in Chattanooga the Rooneys were asked to detail 850 cars for 1,200 dealers. Jim Rooney spent 13 years with Chrysler as a district sales manager. He was transferred here in 1995 and it became clear if they wanted to make this area home, they would

have to create a business. He learned about the express car wash concept in 2003 and opened his ﬁrst 3-Minute Magic Car Wash in 2005. He’s excited for the Farragut location to open, and April is a good month with all that yellow pollen falling from the trees. Planning has taken six months and Rooney says, “It’s the most fun I’ve had since I started washing cars.”

Free wash for vets Veterans may visit the 3 Minute Magic Carwash on Lovell Road at Turkey Creek, on Highway 321 in Lenoir City, or on Broadway in Fountain City from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, to receive a complimentary car wash. Veterans will only need to inform 3 Minute Magic employees verbally that they are veterans in order to receive their free wash. Jim Rooney, owner of 3 Minute Magic Carwash, said, “We are eager to show our support for veterans and service personnel by participating in Grace for Vets again this year. This is a small way for us to say ‘thank you’ to the people who sacrifice so much for our country.” Info: www.3minutewash.com or 777-1104.

The grocery retailer implemented a comprehensive energy conservation program in 2009, saving 6.5 million kilowatt-hours of energy in its second year. The company’s first solar panel project is a medium scale solar array, which will require the installation of 221 photovoltaic panels on the store’s roof top. The unit is a 51.9 kilowatt solar system with an anticipated energy production of around 63,074 kwh per year, making it the largest solar array in the Johnson City Power Board operating area.

or many people with hearing loss, getting to a hearing testing center can be difficult. For others, it’s simply impossible. That problem has been solved by the helpful folks at Smoky Mountain Hearing Specialists. They’ll come to you, wherever you are, and are equipped to do all of the necessary testing and ﬁtting on site. According to Brett Parish, “This is a unique way we have found to serve our clients. We make it easy for them. They never have to leave their home to be tested and fitted with the appropriate hearing device. We do all the work where the client is most comfortable.” Parish says the Smoky Mountain Hearing Specialists staff work oneon-one with the client, whether in the home or in the company’s ofﬁces at 111 Center Park Drive, Suite 1200, just off Parkside Drive, adding, “We do a whole lot more than just the hearing test. Included in the assessment is an analysis of the client’s medical background to insure that wearing a hearing aid is the proper solution for a problem they’re having. There is much more involved than just what the client hears.” After completion of

all of the testing, “We review the options with the client. We look at different aspects of their life to determine what is best. For some people, it’s cosmetic appeal. We’ll address that and any other issues and find the perfect solution.” Parish point outs that it’s critical to start the testing process quickly once hearing loss is detected, as it does not improve over time. Waiting too long for an accurate diagnosis can compound the problem.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Transplant patient strengthens new lungs at Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehab Center After years of feeling like she was smothering, 51-year-old Brenda Sparks of Knoxville is breathing a huge sigh of relief. Sparks is attending the Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehab Outpatient Program during her recovery from an August lung transplant at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She is working with the Center’s exercise physiologist and pulmonary therapist, learning to breathe deeply again using her diaphragm muscles. She’s strengthening her leg muscles and increasing her endurance as well using the Center’s exercise equipment. “Rehab is a physical plus. It’s strengthening muscles as well as improving your endurance. It makes you feel better,” says Sparks. “And you’re never alone at rehab, you have other people working out with you who are going through the same thing.” In December 1999, at the age of 38, Sparks was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deﬁciency, a condition in which the body does not make enough of a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage. The condition can lead to lung and liver disease, and it had claimed the life of her mother at the age of 44. Sparks had chronic shortness of breath and frequent bronchitis when she initially consulted pulmonologist Dr. Gregory P. LeMense at Fort Sanders Regional. He conducted a pulmonary function test and found she had only 17 percent of her expected lung capacity. “The doctor said, ‘I can’t even believe you walked into this of-

Lung transplant Brenda Sparks is strengthening her lung capacity through the Pulmonary Outpatient Rehabilitation Program at Fort Sanders. ﬁce,’ ” Sparks remembers. “I was a very active person, even while I was sick. I wasn’t a couch potato.” Dr. LeMense delivered the grim diagnosis of genetic COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), in which the lungs deteriorate over time. Fewer than 100,000 Americans have it, and people with AAT deﬁciency can get COPD even if they have never smoked or had exposure to any harmful pollutants. “Dr. LeMense really encouraged my

family when we were all devastated with the diagnosis. I was 38 years old and had six children,” says Sparks. “He’s the most caring, compassionate doctor I’ve ever had in my life.” After diagnosis, Dr. LeMense sent Sparks to pulmonary rehab at Fort Sanders and prescribed weekly injections of the missing protein, eventually raising her lung function to about 37 percent. But as the disease progressed, Sparks grew weaker and her lung function dropped

back down to about 17 percent. In June 2006 she was placed on the lung transplant list. Because of her particular blood type and the antibodies it carried, Sparks knew receiving one would be a long shot. “I had a 1 in 300,000 chance in ﬁnding a lung,” she explains. “I went to rehab to keep myself strengthened and my lungs strengthened, so I would do well if I got a lung.” After much prayer and hopeful waiting, however, Sparks got the call she had waited for. Vanderbilt had a lung for her. Although it was a difﬁcult surgery and recovery, Sparks has been home from Nashville since Oct. 7 and is getting stronger every day. She’s again a regular patient at the Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehab Outpatient Program. “When I went into rehab after surgery, I couldn’t get out of a chair by myself,” she says. “Now I walk three miles a day, I ride a stationary bike and do 50-pound leg presses and 25-pound leg curls.” She hasn’t taken oxygen since August. “Today I feel good, great. I feel very blessed to be alive, to be here. God has been so good to me. I want to thank all the staff of the Pulmonary Rehab Center for their care and compassion and drive to push me through to carry on, and not give up,” says Sparks. “I thank them for their care and help.” For more information about the Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehabilitation Outpatient Center, call 865541-1250.

Breathe easier with the Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehab Center Managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is difﬁcult, but lung patients can improve their well-being greatly with help from a special program at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Outpatient Program at Fort Sanders is a physician-supervised program for people who have COPD, a chronic disease in which lungs deteriorate over time. The program also beneﬁts people with interstitial lung disease, asthma, lung cancer and other pulmonary conditions. With a staff that includes a registered nurse, respiratory therapist, exercise physiologist and a licensed counselor, the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Outpatient Program offers twice-weekly monitored exercise sessions and educational classes similar to those of the heart rehabilitation services at the hospital. But these services are specially geared for people with lung diseases. “Pulmonary patients move at a slower pace than

heart patients,” explains Angela Stephens, RN, case manager for the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center. “Most of them are de-conditioned, so our goal is to exercise and tone muscles so they can do their normal activities for the day.” Patients are monitored during exercise for blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels, and the staff uses those numbers to customize an exercise plan for each patient. Participants are asked to continue their exercises at home, in addition to attending the twice-weekly rehab sessions, so that they can get the greatest beneﬁt.

“We help them reduce the worsening of their symptoms and allow them to be more productive in daily activity,” says Stephens. Center classes include information on how to avoid infections, how to maintain lung function and how to recognize the symptoms of other complications like congestive heart failure, a risk for many patients with COPD. Help to stop smoking is also offered if the patient is willing and needs those services. The center has treadmill, stationary bicycles and hand weights. Periodically the staff tests patients on how far they can walk in six minutes, to show their progression in the program. The program can slow the progression of lung disease and even reverse some of the symptoms. Stephens says it’s important for pulmonary patients to exercise every day. “Because of their lower oxygen levels, their muscles deteriorate faster. We try to tone muscles, because toned muscle work more efﬁciently.” The center also offers an intangible benefit to

patients. “We are also like a little social gathering,” says Stephens. “For a lot of pulmonary patients, to come here is their whole activity for the day. They look forward to coming in and seeing each other.” The center treats groups of eight patients at a time. Some are being monitored for the ﬁrst time, while others have graduated to a maintenance program. While a doctor’s order is required to participate, most insurance plans will cover at least 36 sessions at the center, and there is ﬁnancial help for those without insurance, Stephens says. Maintenance plans cost $25 per month for two visits each week. “COPD is a chronic disease, but we do hope to slow the progression and reduce their symptoms,” says Stephens. “Hopefully we can get our participants back into doing things they enjoy.” For more information about the Fort Sanders Pulmonary Rehabilitation Outpatient Center, call 865-541-1250.
