County responds to stormwater story Last week’s edition went to press before we received Knox County’s response to Betty Bean’s story “McMillan farm issued notice of storm water violation.” James McMillan, long one of the most vocal critics of the county’s stormwater enforcement practices, alleges that Knox County was retaliating when it issued a Notice of Violation to his father, Charles McMillan. The notice pertained to construction work around a cell tower site on the senior McMillan’s property. Interim Public Works director Dwight Van de Vate’s response: “Over the past seven months, Stormwater Management has issued 40 Notices of Violation (NOVs) to individual property owners in Knox County on sites that are not under active Stormwater oversight. We have issued an additional 68 NOVs on sites that are actively monitored. The purpose of these 108 NOVs is strictly a first formal notice seeking corrective action and to protect the natural resources of the county. This is why these notices do not include any fine or penalty, but simply serve to let the property owner know that there is a problem, and to document Knox County’s efforts to find a solution. “The Law Director’s Office has stipulated that these notices should issue to the property owner, as any contractor working on a site is doing so under the authority of the land owner. We hope Mr. McMillan understands that the notice he was issued was handled in the same way as any other similar violation.” – Larry Van Guilder

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TDOT’s Martinez to join Haslam administration The Shopper-News has learned that local Tennessee Department of Transportation spokesperson Yvette Martinez will soon join Gov. Bill Haslam’s staff. In a Jan. 26 e-mail sent to reporter Natalie Lester, Martinez wrote that she is leaving TDOT to become the new governor’s press secretary. Before joining TDOT, Martinez was a reporter and news anchor for WBIR-TV in Knoxville.

Weather delays Dry Gap work By N B Natalie t li LLester t Workers have been scarce at the Fountain City Road/Dry Gap Pike road project in recent weeks, but officials say the weather is to blame. “Cold and wet weather moved into the area earlier than normal and has extremely limited the

Burchett meets with critics of stormwater policy By Betty Bean Last week, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett met with Shannondale farmer James McMillan, Clean Water Network director Renee Hoyos and CWN attorney Stephanie Matheney to discuss Knox County stormwater enforcement issues in general and the Notice of Violation recently issued to McMillan’s father, Charles McMillan, in particular. The elder McMillan had a contractual agreement allowing T-Mobile to build a cell tower on his property, and the grading contractor had failed to install a legally required silt fence at the construction site until the work was almost complete. The McMillans say that the citation should have gone to the permit holder or the contractor, over whom they have no control. They are demanding an apology. James McMillan is a frequent and vocal critic of county stormwater enforcement, and the McMillans and CWN officials charged that the citation was payback for the younger McMillan’s activism. How did the meeting go? Depends on whom you ask. Burchett: “I think the meeting with Mr. McMillan and Ms. Hoyos went well and was very productive

Stephanie Matheney, James McMillan and Renee Hoyos after their meeting with Mayor Tim Burchett. Photo by Betty Bean for us, and I certainly hope it was productive for them. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future on stormwater issues.” Hoyos: “It was a productive conversation. We talked about prioritizing sites – emphasizing sites that are harming property, neighbors or clean water. They indicated they would look at doing that. And they said the McMillan’s citation was not retaliatory.” Matheney: “We learned the McMillan citation was one of 40 NOVs that went to what (stormwa-

ter manager) Chris Granju called ‘mom and pop’ sites last year. Why are they wasting time on that? We want them to work on bigger sites that are causing harm. Dwight Van de Vate (county engineering director) admitted there was no evidence that pollution had come off the McMillan site and gotten to the stream.” James McMillan: “I keep hearing that all these foreclosed sites are a big enforcement problem in Knox County. Does this mean that they are sending demand letters to the banks that now own the prop-

erties and treating them like they have treated the McMillans?” Knox County’s stormwater ordinance is a little muddy on the issue of where notices of violation should go. One paragraph says the notice should go to whoever has operational control over construction plans and specifications. Another section says that the director “… may issue a notice of violation to the permittee or property owner and/or any other person or entity having responsibility for construction work performed at a site development.” James McMillan remains unconvinced and believes that his father was cited, and threatened with a $5,000 per day fine, because of the son’s persistent criticism of county enforcement efforts. Hoyos said that Burchett agreed to consider her suggestion that the county do more wet weather inspections. “The Network’s goal is to reduce sediment in the rivers, and there are a number of sites around the county that contribute sediment. We would like for them to focus on correcting large sites discharging large amounts of mud to streams.” And what about an apology to the McMillans? “I don’t think so,” Hoyos said.

What’s happening in our waterways By Valorie Fister

What were they thinking? You come across a “What were they thinking?” incident every now and then, the kind that makes you shake your head and wonder. Mark Padgett, candidate for Knoxville mayor, provoked some head shaking by marching with young people from the Boys and Girls Clubs in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. (IRS rules prohibit nonprofits like the Boys and Girls Clubs from endorsing candidates.) Political candidates as well as political officeholders are especially susceptible to getting caught tripping over their feet. Constantly on the public stage, subjected to scrutiny by enemies, sooner or later they’ll do something to draw unwanted attention. Then there are the actions which seem neutral or even positive at first glance but may not be upon further reflection. Mayor Tim Burchett recently enlisted the services of the very capable Gloria Ray to fashion a group that will make recommendations about what to do with 380 or so acres in the Midway community once planned for a business park. I know no one who does not like Ray and respect her abilities. She’s a dynamo. And the mayor can’t be faulted for moving ahead to get some workable ideas on how to salvage The Development Corporation’s $10 million investment. But if the people who fought so long and hard to keep the business park out of their community wince at some of the names on what we’ll call the “planning committee,” it’s hard to blame them. Maybe it’s only natural that Mike Edwards, Todd Napier and Rhonda Rice become part of this process given their jobs with the Chamber and TDC. Maybe it’s unavoidable. But the atmosphere can easily turn corrosive when Edwards and especially Napier are in close quarters with the opponents of the now-derailed business park. Still, we’re rooting for Ray and hope she and the people she brings to the table can make lemonade from TDC’s lemon. No lemonade in this week’s Shopper-News, and (speaking from experience) any reader who spots what he considers a “lemon” will be quick to let us know. But we do have school news, features, and political news and views, so get a refill on that coffee and dig in. Contact Larry Van Guilder at lvgknox@mindspring.com.

Within the rippling waters of the winding, sprawling Tennessee River system, the aquatic life and sport fish remain plentiful enough to entice anglers, residents, tourists and commerce. Yet there are species of freshwater fish that are dying out from reasons ranging from pollutants to radical changes in habitat. Anglers today are wise to learn each season’s fish consumption advisories before throwing logs on the fire to prepare that day’s catch. And veteran anglers often know some of the names of chemicals (PCBs, mercury, dioxins and chlordane) as well as they know the names of the fish that are found in our waterways these days. But local scientists at Division Street in Knoxville are working daily to provide hope and a safe place for endangered and nearly extinct fish to thrive and reproduce. “We’re learning about them while we can,” said J.R. Shute, co-director of Conservation Fisheries Inc. Shute and co-director Patrick Rakes are University of Tennessee graduates. They have spent the last 20 years working with the population of smaller fish that is often overlooked. Their names and their work are widely recognized in the world of environmental studies and efforts. Their goal: to propagate endangered species in order to return them to their natural habitat once the waterway is again deemed safe for that type of aquatic life. “Unfortunately, there are very few places we feel that way about,” Rakes said. At any given time, their hatchery may house two dozen or more varieties of rare fish including rush dart-

Conservation Fisheries co-directors Pat Rakes and J.R. Shute work in their fish hatchery at Division Street in downtown Knoxville saving fish species. Our fresh waterways are losing fish, and they have a solution. Photo by Valorie Fister ers, Barrens topminnows, chubs and madtoms. They also monitor fish populations in their natural habitats in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia as well as Tennessee. When Shute and Rakes encounter a fish species so rare that some of its population must be maintained in captivity, it is deemed an “ark population.” One such species is the Barrens topminnow, which was the subject of Rakes’ master’s thesis. Rakes and Shute have been working with that population since 1982. If it weren’t for their efforts, the species would be extinct. In addition to housing rare species, Rakes and Shute study and collect the fish in their natural environments. They also monitor reintroduced species to determine their viability in that particular natural habitat. The most common way they study their subjects is by snorkeling. They bellycrawl through stream and riverbeds to get a better than bird’s eye view of what’s happening in our waterways. “Most people don’t know” what is happening in and to our rivers and streams, Rakes said. He said if people really knew just how much humans are doing to disturb the natural balance of our rivers and streams, there would probably be more efforts to change practices.

The cows are in the creeks The cause of fish kill and contamination in the region isn’t limited to one source. And local and federal environmentalists have been and still are working to implement legislation and programs designed to reduce

pollution and restore our fresh waterways. “Down here it’s widespread,” Shute said. He said environmental changes come in many forms, including deforestation of shorelines, impoundment of natural waterways, farming practices and development. “The cows are in the creeks.” Shute said. For hundreds of years, agriculture has taken its toll on the river system. While it’s not the only point source, farmers who use natural waterways to water livestock are adding to the pollution. “As soon as we remove trees or move soil, we impact the streams with silt,” Rakes said. What people don’t realize is that property values are better with intact streams if they’re doing the right thing from the get go.” Impoundment or damming of the river system for power needs has also taken its toll on the natural environment. The waters flowing through downtown Knoxville in the first half of the 1900s were once teeming with more than 100 species of fish. Today, there are at most two dozen species, Rakes said. Rakes and Shute aren’t the only local environmentalists concerned with fresh water quality. Scientists and environmentalists at the Knox County Soil and Water Conservation District have worked closely with farmers in recent years. They distribute grant monies to promote better farming practices. Livestock pastures next to local creeks and streams are now fenced off one by one to keep animals out of the water. The Tennessee Valley Authority is another agency with a hand in improving the environment. The massive utility’s reputation has suf-

fered as a result of the Roane County ash spill, but it regularly monitors reservoirs and streams for ecological health. TVA also posts fish consumption advisories. TVA is also behind the reintroduction of lake sturgeon in the river system. The lake sturgeon is a prehistoric fish with a unique appearance. It has bony plates along its back and grows up to 310 pounds. “We started the program in the early 1990s at Norris,” said Travis Brickey, a communications officer with TVA. “We stocked 2,000 and monitored their activity.” Since then, Brickey said, TVA has handed the project off to the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency and the Tennessee Aquarium where the program is continued today. “We believe there to be 40,000 to 50,000 sturgeon in the Tennessee River from Knoxville to Alabama,” Brickey said. Many environmentalists aware of the sturgeon reintroduction are eagerly waiting for the fish to reproduce in the wild. It takes about 15 years for the fish to mature, so scientists are looking for evidence in this and upcoming years. They are also a protected fish, and anglers who hook them are advised to catch and release them. Any efforts to rejuvenate aquatic life in the Tennessee River system are steps in a positive direction for both fish and people. These are the steps that will allow Rakes and Shute to one day release their ark populations of small fish back into the wild. “It’s a good thing,” Rakes said of efforts to restore the environment. “Whatever works we don’t care,” Shute said. “As long as it offers protection for these little fish.”

Remembering the Challenger 7 By Jake Mabe Michael J. Smith. Dick Scobee. Ronald McNair. Ellison Onizuka. Gregory Jarvis. Judith Resnik. These six astronauts, and teacher Christa McAuliffe, were killed 25 years ago, Jan. 28, 1986, when NASA Mission STS-51-L went horribly wrong 73 seconds into its flight. The space shuttle Challenger broke apart. Its crew perished. A nation reeled in shock. Gibbs High social studies teacher Dean Harned, 33, will never forget it. Knox County Schools were closed that day – it had snowed – and Harned was one of the relatively few people who actually saw the shuttle break up while watching the launch live on television. (CNN was the only network to carry it live. Schoolchildren around the country were able to

watch the launch because NASA provided a broadcast feed on its TV network to schools because of McAuliffe’s participation in the flight as part of the Teacher in Space program). “I thought it was neat that a teacher was going up,” Harned says. “My mom is a teacher and I thought it was really cool. I remember hearing that the shuttle had exploded and going out in the garage to tell my father. He had a look of disbelief on his face and said, ‘No, no. ...’ “No doubt, it’s our generation’s Titanic moment.” The news spread quickly by 1986 standards. Within an hour, more than 86 percent of the country had heard about the accident, which occurred just after 11:39 a.m. (EST). CBS News was reporting the incident by 11:45.

An extensive investigation later determined that a faulty O-ring seal on the right solid rocket booster was responsible for the breakup of the space shuttle (it actually did not explode in the common usage of the term). An investigation by the Rogers Commission later determined that NASA had known about the potential problem with the O-rings since the late 1970s. Bitterly cold temperatures the morning of the flight also contributed to the disaster. And here are a few horrifying facts you may not know. After an extensive recovery operation, NASA later learned that Challenger’s flight cabin survived the initial breakup. At least two – and likely all – of the crew members were still alive and could have survived until To page A-3

Cans for Christmas

Halls Middle student collects food for Halls Pantry

Next time you hear someone say the youth of America have lost their way, tell them Tyler Edwards’ story.

Jake Mabe Instead of asking for the latest gadget or toy at Christmas, Tyler told family and friends he wanted cans of food. Tyler, 14, had volunteered at Second Harvest Food Bank through his church, Fountain City United Methodist. His mother, Christa, says Tyler wanted to donate his Christmas cans to them, but Second Harvest told him about the Halls Food Pantry at Cross Roads Presbyterian Church. “We thought that would be even better,” Christa says, “because it would stay in the community.” So on Jan. 20, Christa picked Tyler up from Halls Middle School, where he is an 8th grader, and helped him unload his gifts. He’d received three laundry baskets and two boxes worth of cans, plus a couple of gift cards. “You try to instill those values and hope something you say will sink in,” Christa says. “We feel very blessed,” Tyler’s dad, Kevin, says. Tyler hopes he inspires others to give such a gift. He’s looking for other volunteer opportunities and plans to return to the pantry when food is distributed. In his spare time, Tyler enjoys playing football and basketball, hunting, and fishing. He’s pretty good at that, too. Christa says that Tyler’s sister Hayley, 10, is trying to find a way to top him. That, my friends, is going to be tough. For more info on the Halls Food Pantry, call 922-9412.

“It’s a time to do business, elect our new officers, and a time to recognize people with awards. But it’s also a time to renew old friendships. Some members have been attending the convention for 40-50 years.” Rodes joined his West Virginia Ruritan Club 21 years ago. He works in vending. National Vice President Jayson Duncan said his grandfather asked him to join a Ruritan Club in Pine Hall, N.C., 35 years ago. He was a teacher just out of college. “People just encouraged me. I became a zone governor and really enjoyed that. Then I became lieutenant governor and people continued to ask me to go to the next level.” Duncan says Ruritan’s most important mission is community service. “And neighbors getting to know neighbors,” Rodes added. The Gibbs Ruritans shared the 61-year history of their club with the visitors after lunch.

Clouse told the Open Door Book Review Club at the Fountain City branch library last Thursday that the idea for the novel came to her after reading a newspaper article highlighting a grant UT had secured to digitize Arrowmont’s records online. When she looked at the website, Clouse discovered letters that the teachers had sent home to families, along with journals and Kodak photos. “It was amazing and fascinating.” Clouse says she wanted to show “the poverty and the isolation that the teachers ran into as well as the middle class, complicated culture that also existed in Gatlinburg at the time.” Her previous novels “Wilder,” “The Homesteads” and “Mallie” are all set in East Tennessee. Clouse worked in the Knox County Public Library system for 25 years. “Rainbow by Moonlight” is available at Hastings book store in Maryville, at any of the Smoky Mountain National Park visitors’ centers, at www.chicorybooks.com or through the Knox County Public Library.

the flight cabin crashed into the ocean at 204 mph about three minutes after the breakup. Three of the four Personal Egress Air Packs on the flight deck had been activated. NASA was heavily criticized for both its initial response to the disaster (officials all but avoided the press the day of the accident) and for its fatal decision to launch the shuttle under less than desirable conditions, despite warnings about the O-ring problem and other issues from engineers and others at both NASA and contractor Morton Thiokol. The U.S. space program grounded to a halt for almost three years until Discovery launched on Sept. 29, 1988. Barbara Morgan, McAuliffe’s backup who trained with her for the Challenger flight and watched the launch from Kennedy Space Center, flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavor as a mission specialist in August 2007. Harned says the Challenger disaster was a game changer. “That episode put to rest for generations the possi-

bility that we would see a manned mission to Mars. After Challenger, NASA’s timidity, the way it addressed the situation, they decided those dreams needed to be put on hold for awhile.” And, for a young boy, the Challenger disaster was Harned’s initial brush with mortality. “It was my first realization that we are fallible. There was something special about the first teacher in space. Christa McAuliffe represented the link to the future – that ordinary Americans would one day go to space. “Watching the reactions of her parents and her students, it was horrifying. Those mental images are burned in my head. It was very traumatizing.” As President Ronald Reagan said in his memorable address, we will never forget the Challenger 7, nor the last time we saw them, moments before they “slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.” Find links to videos and in-depth reporting on the Challenger disaster at jakemabe. blogspot.com

Money talks and Padgett walks Mayoral candidate takes money from Cocke County felon

News Sentinel under the headline “The governor and the felon.” Even though Padgett had left the governor’s office to go into business for himself when Jason Grooms was arrested in separate incidents in 2007 for marijuana possession and gambling promotion, it seems equally unlikely that he could be unaware of this historical fact. It would therefore have been prudent not to accept the Grooms’ contributions, but Padgett’s money-grubbing zeal apparently overrode his common sense. It also would have been prudent for Padgett to have honored the request of Boys and Girls Club CEO John Lee and remove from his website a picture of himself and a bunch of African-American children from the Boys and Girls Club carrying “Free At Last” signs and standing behind a big “Mark Padgett for Mayor” banner. Lee fears that Padgett’s actions could jeopardize his organization’s tax-exempt status. John Lee has a lot of friends.

Mark Padgett File photo A week after Lee made the request, the picture was still there. And finally, it would have been really prudent for Padgett not to have exploited the children in the first place. A few other names on Padgett’s list have drawn some attention, as well: Mike Arms, Mike Ragsdale, Bill Owen. Speaking of whom, sources say that Owen plans to get more involved in city politics than just giving money. The former state legislator has been soliciting support to make a run for an at-large seat on City Council.

Is the county ready for Brown’s vision?

Analysis

This 15-to-1 disparity in party preference in the primary was likely skewed by the popularity of Burchett and is not an accurate indicator of party affiliation countywide. But the general election result, 85 percent for Burchett, 8 percent for Maize, tells a tale: if you want a realistic shot at a countywide office, an “R” next to your name on the ballot makes a difference. But Republicans are an endangered species in districts heavily populated by African-Americans. In the 2008 primary election for the 1st District County Commission seat, Democrats outpolled Republicans by a better than 6-to-1 margin, 3,925 to 614. In the general election, Sam McKenzie thrashed Albert Baah, the Republican candidate and also an African-American, 71 percent to 28 percent. The factors that determine success for countywide candidates are not likely to change soon. Republicans enjoy a sizeable advantage, and the majority of African-American voters poll Democratic. Arguably the most realistic path to the highest offices for minorities is one that could open them up to charges of cynicism or worse: if you aren’t a Republican, you certainly should sound like one. Perhaps most importantly, that indispensable factor in modern elections, cash and lots of it, comes to candidates with broad appeal. The political and demographic reality of Knox County being what it is, the road to high office is not an easy one for minorities. But Brown’s words recall George Bernard Shaw’s famous and very appropriate lines: “Some men see things as they are and say why; I dream things that never were and say why not.”

Monty Howell: Professional educator Monty Howell, 61, held many jobs with Knox County Schools, and when he died suddenly on Jan. 23, he left many friends. Over time he taught science, served as president of the Knox County Education Association, moved to the central office as a science supervisor and most recently worked in human resources. He first taught at Gibbs Elementary and continued to live in Corryton. He was pastor of Harvest Community Church. His wife, Becky, was longtime Monty Howell librarian at Halls Middle School (now retired). They raised three wonderful daughters: Jeni, married to Joe Hassell; Mandi, who married Aaron Taylor; and Courtney, married to Joe Lancaster. All live in Knoxville, and there are seven grandchildren. Scott Bacon, supervisor of business partnerships, was shocked to learn of Monty’s passing. He recalled a parent protest over something in

Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “I have heard that former smokers still have a greater chance of developing mouth cancer. Are there supplements or foods that can help reduce the chances of getting cancer in the mouth and throat?”

Answer: “There are many antioxidant foods and supplements that have been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of various types of cancer. Some of the most well known include extra virgin olive oil, asparagus, and

vitamin C in larger doses than the daily recommended amounts for general health (I recommend a high quality buffered, easily absorbable brand). For example, one study showed that a certain type of cancer occurrence was reduced by 40% in the participant group when at least two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil were consumed daily. If you would like more information on these foods and supplements, please contact our office.”

FFA members receive prestigious honor

Two members of the North Knox FFA Chapter received American FFA degrees in October 2010 in Indianapolis, Ind. Abby Summers, daughter of Skip and Patty Summers, and Andy Wilson, son of Rich Wilson and Linda Patton, have both obtained the American FFA Degree, which is the highest honor of achievement as an FFA member. This final step in the FFA Degree system has encouraged both Abby and Andy to grow, achieve and establish themselves in an agricultural career. Summers and Wilson are

currently pursuing careers in Wildlife Management and Fisheries, beginning their college career at Pellissippi State with completion aimed at the University of Tennessee. Summers attained her State FFA Degree her senior year, was active in the North Knox FFA Chapter serving as the FFA chapter secretary and was winner of the East Tennessee Landscape Management Proficiency. She is currently employed at Kroger in Fountain City while continuing her education. Wilson attained his State FFA Degree his senior year,

was active in the North Knox FFA Chapter serving as the FFA chapter president and represented the chapter in the East Tennessee Envirothon, Ag Communications Career Development Event. The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 506,199 student members – all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture – as part of 7,429 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Halls Red Devils For seven Wednesdays each semester, students who are passing all classes are dismissed at 2:30. Teachers use this time to collaborate. Students not passing classes work with teacher tutors for one hour. Duff says collaboration is a common practice in business, but is new to education. “The teaching day is not designed for teachers to do much more than chat with one another,” Duff says. “The vast majority of their time is being spent in front of a class and engaged in instruction. Due to this isolation, teachers tend to repeat

strategies and techniques they’ve used for years.” Duff says that student requirements have changed and educators must c h a n g e teaching strategies accordingly. “We have to create time to do Mark Duff these things. Knox County does not provide us with that needed time.” Test data will be used to determined strengths and weaknesses. Research-based instruction techniques will also be discussed. “We want to improve our instruction and evaluation throughout our departments and throughout our staff.” Block scheduling also does not allow time for study hall or for student tutoring. Tutorials are offered before and after school, but Duff says a large number of students rely on bus transportation and find it hard to attend those sessions. “We can offer meaningful learning sessions for students who need additional help on these Wednesdays. We have the kids in the building. All we need is parental support for this to

We need them to not come to pick up their children before 2:30, as this has been very disruptive to our last class of the day. We need parents to understand that we are working on these afternoons, we are simply working differently. We believe that the results will justify the efforts.” Protocol for a student being recommended for a Wednesday tutorial is as follows: ■ Teacher IDs a struggling student. ■ Teacher will suggest that student attend a Wednesday session. ■ Student will be told what work should be completed. ■ Teacher will contact a parent prior to Wednesday.

Co-teachers Hatfield and Booker share Teacher of the Year honors By Betty Bean The question of the day in biology class was “What is symbiosis?”

Central Bobcats Central High School biology teacher Laicee Hatfield began the session by asking her students to give her three examples. The answers she got included a bee and a flower, a pet and a human, and a human and a tree. These are all examples of mutualism, Hatfield told the class. “Anytime you are in a relationship, at lease one has to benefit. With mutualism, both benefit.” (The other kinds of symbiotic relationships Hatfield talked about were commensalism, where one

party benefits, and parasitism, where one party benefits and the other is harmed). After about 30 minutes, English as a Second Language teacher Byron Booker arrived. He and Hatfield conferred for a couple of minutes and then he took over the class for a stretch. Eleven of the 24 students in the class are English language learners. The students didn’t mention it, but Hatfield and Booker constitute an example of mutualism right before their eyes. The two were recently named Teacher of the Year by their peers at Central High School and it’s probably not just a coincidence that they are co-teaching biology. Hatfield, who lives in Sevierville with her husband, Anderson, and

2-year-old daughter Alyx, holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Tennessee and an EDS from Lincoln Memorial University. She says she uses her 40-minute morning commute to get her thoughts together: “I love the Central High School community. That’s the reason I bypass other schools and districts to come to this one specifically.” She is a crackerjack with the subject matter, running her class in a fastpaced, no-nonsense manner that keeps the students’ attention. Booker, who has degrees from the University of Tennessee and CarsonNewman and works with Central High School’s 35 ESL students, has been at Central for five years.

four or five ESL students in the back of the classroom unable to grasp the subject matter. So I sat down with the principal (Danny Trent) and said ‘I’ve got this idea. Would you let me run with it and see how it works?’ ” The first place Booker tried his idea was algebra class. “We had nine ESL students in Algebra I, and six of them had failed the course before. Those six made a gain of 25 points by the end of the semester. We said ‘Hey, we’ve got something here. We think it will work. Let’s develop it for more classes.’ What we have found is that some of Byron Booker and Laicee Hatfield. Photo by B.

‘Character Counts’ then and now Character Counts! of Knoxville/Knox County (CC) presented their CC for Life essay contest awards for grades 6-12 at the Crowne Plaza last Tuesday. Students were asked to pick one of several sayings or maxims and write an essay as it relates to their life and the CC six “pillars” of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Martha Masterson, Knox County School’s elementary counselor coach, and Gene Crabtree presented certificates to the all grade level winners from each participating school. Students then waited like Oscar nominees to see if their name would be called as one of the five district winners in each grade level. District winners received a $100 check, gift card or U.S. Savings Bond from the grade level sponsors who included Knox County Schools, Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union, Clayton Family Foundation, UT Federal Credit Union, First Tennessee Foundation, Enrichment Federal Credit Union, Seymour/ South Knoxville Chamber of

Lorraine Furtner

Master of ceremonies and former Knox County Schools employee Marty Iroff told students they each had potential to do some-

thing great. He said these youth are our future and asked them not to wait too long, to begin building that dream today.

Character Counts! for Life essay contest district winners Commerce, Knoxville Post Office Credit Union, Knoxville News Sentinel and Pilot Travel Centers. Jack Neely, journalist, author and associate editor of the Metro Pulse, was the guest speaker. Through interesting historical stories, including one from his latest book, “Knoxville: This Obscure Prismatic City,” Neely encouraged kids to use their talents. He urged them to continue in entrepreneurial footsteps like one young Knoxville resident, Adolph Ochs. Ochs began delivering newspapers during his youth and progressed to become publisher of a faltering newspaper in New York. With $250, Ochs became the publisher of the New York Times in 1896 and later established the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square.

An award celebration for the Character Counts! for Life Essay Contest was held at the Crowne Plaza on Jan. 25. All school winners were given certificates and district winners received a $100 prize. Students chose a topical saying and wrote an essay on how that maxim applied to their life in accordance with the Character Counts! principles of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

Lives restored, hope renewed By Cindy Taylor Hurting people often struggle to find a loving environment where they can share their pain. New Hope Baptist Church has brought a group of people together whose only goal is to help those who are hurting and are seeking physical and emotional help along with spiritual guidance. Celebrate Recovery originated more than 20 years ago at Saddleback Church in California with John Baker and Rick and Kay Warren. The original ministry grew to thousands around the country and New Hope church is realizing a similar phenomenon with its recovery program. Joan Troutt grew up in a dysfunctional family. She brought the concept of Celebrate Recovery to the church and members have made it their own. The program recently celebrated the end of its third year. Those who attend are blessed with food, music and fellowship along with a strong body of Christians who give of their time with the sole purpose of bestowing strength on others through Christ.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a Christ centered, biblically based program of recovery for individuals and their families who are dealing with emotional distress and recovery issues,â&#x20AC;? Troutt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our support group opens the door by sharing our experiences, addictions and strengths with one another. Most of us have been through the same things as those we try to help. We want to let people know they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to live that way. There is help and hope. You have to meet people at their level and then they are more open to Christ.â&#x20AC;? Sharon Reed was a member at another church when she became involved in Celebrate Recovery at New Hope. Her background is in health care and Reed works as a facilitator in The Landing, a part of CR that specializes in aiding the healing of young adults ages 12 to 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God has led me where He wants me to be,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully I can do some counseling with some of the people in the church here.â&#x20AC;? CR works through and applies 12 biblical principles

and steps that help members begin to grow spiritually. The plan is to free them from their addictions, compulsions and dysfunctional behaviors. Five musicians and singers form the worship team CK3. These five lead the music before the support groups break out for sessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a recovering drug addict,â&#x20AC;? CK3 band member and guitarist Keith Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been clean now for over a year. Celebrate Recovery is a loving environment. I have been to AA and that type of recovery group. This is more of place where hurting people can come and get loved on.â&#x20AC;? Those involved in CR live by 2 Corinthians 12:9: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.â&#x20AC;? Celebrate Recovery meets at 6:15 p.m. every Tuesday in the sanctuary for music, worship, food, fellowship and love. All those struggling with addictions or other needs are invited to come. New Hope Baptist Church is located at 7602 Bud Hawkins Road in Corryton. Info: 688-5330.

Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have worked to wipe polio from the face of the earth. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2009, fewer than 1,700 cases were reported worldwide. But the polio cases represented by that ďŹ nal 1 percent are the most difďŹ cult and expensive to prevent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to generate the funding needed to End Polio Now. To fail is to invite a polio resurgence that would condemn millions of children to lifelong paralysis in the years ahead.

The bottom line is this: As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever they live â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remain at risk.

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. (John 21: 24-25 NRSV)

I have been curious for a while now about whether in the years of writing this column I had touched on every book in the Bible. I knew that I had spent more time in the Gospels than anywhere else, that Genesis and its treasure-trove of family stories had been a favorite, that the Psalms were a frequent source of inspiration, and that Isaiah’s poetry had embedded itself in my thinking. I decided to do a survey of my writing. Now, I confess that, like Paul who couldn’t remember who he had baptized at a given church, I have not kept records as carefully as I intended to early on.

So I sat down with my ledger book, and I discovered that I have done pretty well in delving into even the more obscure reaches of Holy Writ. I have written about, or used as an epigraph, texts from at least 61 of the 66 books of the Bible, one book of the Apocrypha, one of the non-canonical Gospel texts (the Gospel of Peter), and The Book of God, a rendition of the Bible as novel by Walter Wangerin. Not bad, considering I wasn’t consciously trying to cover the waterfront. Of the five books I appear to have missed (won’t know for sure until my ledger book is complete), four don’t surprise me terribly: Ezra, Titus, 3 John, and Jude. The fifth one, however, I can’t believe! Can it be true? How could I have ignored Jonah?!? These are omissions I will set about correcting in the

coming weeks. There is worth and value in all of the sacred writings. The church fathers who put together the canon selected these books because they had something to say that we need to hear and know. So, I will take my omissions in the order they stand in Scripture: 1. Ezra, where we will learn the roots of the feud between the Jews and the Samaritans. 2. Jonah, where we will learn the lengths to which God will go to get our attention, and what’s this about those people of Nineveh “who do not know their right hand from their left?” 3. Titus, where Paul offers advice to a young colleague who has been sent to administer the churches in Crete. 4. 3 John, the only one of John’s letters written to an individual, and 5. Jude, which in the New Revised Standard Version, was almost named something else. Next week: “Ezra, and Why I Hate My Neighbor”

Farragut edges ’Canes to stay on top By Ken Lay When the Farragut and Holston Middle School girls basketball teams tangled Tuesday night, the stakes were high as first place hung in the balance. And one thing was certain: the host upstart Hurricanes weren’t going to be intimidated by the powerhouse Admirals, who are always near the top of the standings. Holston had already beaten Farragut once this season. Lightning, however, didn’t strike twice for the ’Canes as the Admirals rode a crest of early momentum to a 32-25 victory at Holston. Early on, it seemed as though fans would be treated to an offensive fireworks show as the two teams combined to score 24 points in the first six minutes with the Admirals holding a 16-8 lead. The offense, however, all but disappeared in the second quarter as Holston’s Hannah Hopson scored the only points of the stanza to pull the ’Canes to within 1610 by halftime. “We had a chance to get closer in the second quarter when they didn’t score,” Holston coach Todd Atkins said. “But we only scored two points. “Our outside shooters had a hard time and we had trouble scoring but that’s a credit to their defense. They have a good team.” Further complicating things for Holston was poor free-throw shooting. The Hurricanes were an abysmal 2-for-10 from the foul line. Farragut’s defense also stifled Holston’s perimeter shooting. Holston hit just three 3-pointers, and the Admirals defense held Hayley Cavalaris scoreless. Hope Hopson hit a pair of long jumpers. Hannah Hopson hit one. Quay Hines scored nine points to lead the Hurricanes. Hope Hopson added eight. Kristen Freeman scored 16 points (including nine in the first quarter) to lead the Admirals. Holston boys start fast, fall in OT: Holston dropped a 42-36 overtime decision to visiting Farragut Tuesday night. The Hurricanes opened a big early lead but couldn’t hang on. The ’Canes dominated things early as the Admirals struggled offensively. While Farragut sputtered, Holston opened a 10-2 lead and then extended its advantage to 15-2 late in the second stanza before the Admirals scored the last six points before halftime to cut the lead to 15-8.

Halls Middle’s Parker Keith dribbles as Powell’s Peyton Smiley defends. The Panthers prevailed 35-20 in last week’s game at Halls. Photo by R. White. From there, the Admirals stole the momentum. They pulled to within 21-18 by the third quarter’s end and were able to send the game to overtime when Drew Briscoll buried a 3-pointer as time expired. Farragut then outscored the ’Canes 12-6 in overtime. Sam Cargo and Josh Powell scored 10 points each for the Admirals. Holston’s Wayland Price led all scorers with 13 points. Powell girls outlast Halls: Tori Lentz scored seven of her game-high nine points in the first half to lead the Panthers to a 23-19 victory over the Demons last Monday at Halls. Lentz accounted for all of Powell’s first-half offense as the Panthers led 7-6 at halftime. She scored all of the Panthers points before halftime despite battling foul trouble. Halls remained close throughout despite struggling offensively. The Demons did play tough defense. “Passing has been our Achilles’ heel all season,” Demons coach Tom Poisal said. “We play great defense but when you’re not a good passing team, it leads to easy transition baskets for the other team. “So it makes it look like you don’t play good defense but our defense has been excellent.” Powell’s offense was more balanced in the second half as Stephanie Childress scored six points while Jill

Gorman and Averi Williams added four after the break. Kaci Mitchell scored eight points (including six in the second half) to pace the Demons. Powell boys run past Halls: The Panthers used a 14-5 second-quarter run to blow open a close game between the Emory Road rivals. The surge lifted the Panthers to a 35-20 victory. The Panthers held a 5-2 lead after the opening frame before erupting in the second quarter. Powell’s Peyton Smiley led all scorers with 13 points. Logan Lacey added 12. Andrew Davis scored five to pace Halls, which was plagued by cold shooting throughout the contest. This week’s schedule: The regular season concludes today with some key matchups. Holston travels to Halls. Gresham hosts Karns and Farragut hosts Northwest. All action begins with girls games at 4:30 p.m. The James A. Ivey Jr. Memorial Middle School Basketball Tournament opens Thursday and Friday, Feb. 3-4. Opening-round girls games will be 4:30 p.m. Thursday, with sites and match-ups to be determined. Boys games are Friday. The tournament shifts to Karns Saturday, Feb. 5, for the boys and girls quarterfinals.

SPORTS NOTES

turns. Vol defense shocked Lydell Mitchell, Franco Harris, John Huffnagel. Tennessee was in the process of losing to Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl when a minor miracle occurred. The Razorbacks fumbled and apparently recovered but an official signaled Vol ball. Carl Witherspoon somehow came up with it. Curt Watson’s 17-yard TD run helped immensely. UT won 14-13. Battle was very shrewd to acquire the services of Condredge Holloway. The coach was really smart in the 1973 Auburn game. The Vols went up 13-0 in the first half. Soon thereafter another flood of Biblical proportions fell on much of mankind and all of Neyland Stadium. Tennessee, choosing not to piddle around with a wet football, punted to the other end of the pond, several times on first down. Some defining games were not as much fun. The Vols found inventive ways to lose five in a row to Alabama. An unexpected loss to Georgia left a larger scar. It was fourth and two at the Tennessee 28 with 2:27 to go, the Vols hanging on to a 31-28 lead but showing definite tendencies of not being able to hem up the Bulldogs. Battle called for a fake punt and run right – if the defensive alignment was so favorable as to make the first down almost automatic. It wasn’t and the coach saw the problem and was

ed a school-record eight passes and slugged sagging Alabama 24-0. Tim Priest picked three. It was the first shutout of a Bryant team in 115 games. Rival coaches, teacher and student, shook hands and hugged. It was a memorable occasion. It happened only once. A week later, it was Dickey who took it on the chin. His Florida inheritance was flawed. It directed him back into Neyland Stadium, a deathtrap for his Gators. Bobby Scott punished the Florida secondary, 21 completions for 385 yards and two touchdowns. Gator quarterback John Reaves threw for two touchdowns – for Tennessee. Conrad Graham and Jackie Walker returned interceptions to the checkerboards. Rival coaches, mentor and aide, shook hands and hugged. Battle was buoyed. He had one fine football team, maybe good enough to run the table. The third highlight happened in New Orleans. Generals and jets and undefeated Air Force dominated a week of bowl festivities but the Vols seized the spotlight at kickoff and delivered a stunning 24-0 first quarter. Scott was MVP. Air Force crashed with minus 12 rushing. This may have been the best day of Battle’s time with Tennessee. Key game in Bill’s second season was Tennessee 31, Penn State 11. This was Bobby Majors’ day of punt re-

yelling “Kick it, kick it” when the ball was snapped to fullback Steve Chancey instead of punter Neil Clabo. Chancey was tackled in his tracks. Georgia took possession and scored the winning touchdown with a minute to spare. Much later, Battle said this was the beginning of the end of his coaching career. Indeed, it was the definitive game. A kick return and home loss to North Texas State in 1975 was devastating. The conclusion of that season was a home loss to Vanderbilt. The beginning of Battle’s final campaign was a 21-18 home loss to Duke. Coaching changes are rooted in such trends. Bill’s definition of class was one of the all-time great exit lines: “Class is when they run you out of town and make you look like you’re leading the parade.” Battle, a man of class, honesty, character, dignity, kindness and generosity, had a better than 59-222 record in business with the trend going up instead of down. It seemed that his decisions led to solid gold. Battle Enterprises became Collegiate Licensing and earned millions for colleges and the former coach. The company, now owned by ING, represents some 200 schools plus conferences, bowls and the NCAA. Bill and Eugenia’s son, Pat, is president.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Lymphedema treatment at Fort Sanders Therapy Centers eases swelling in womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot Riding more than 1,000 miles from Sevierville, Tenn., to Key West, Fla., is not for the faint of heart. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Cris Busic and her husband, Lance, did recently on their Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least now I can go riding,â&#x20AC;? says Busic, who just last year had such signiďŹ cant swelling in her left foot, she could hardly stand to sit on the motorcycle at all. Her foot had swollen to twice its normal size and was worse with prolonged sitting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time my husband and I would go riding on our motorcycle, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get my boot off,â&#x20AC;? explains 54-year old Busic. Busic had a little known, but fairly common medical condition called lymphedema, an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the tissues. Lymph nodes produce diseaseďŹ ghting ďŹ&#x201A;uid that moves in and out of cells in the body. When one or more of the lymph nodes is damaged or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work properly, lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uid can build up in an arm or leg and cause severe swelling. In Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, a 2007 knee surgery was probably the ďŹ rst injury to her lymph nodes, she says, followed by a foot injury a year later. For more than a year, Busic ignored the swelling that became more and more frequent.

therapist Beth Heatherly gently massaged Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot, from the toe toward the heel, to push the extra lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uid upward. They taught Busic how to do the 10-minute massages at home as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just pushing the ďŹ&#x201A;uids back up your legs, basically,â&#x20AC;? Busic explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can feel it start tingling down in my foot, and you know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working.â&#x20AC;? Therapists also wrapped Busicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot in special bandages to compress the tissue and further squeeze the ďŹ&#x201A;uid upward. Finally, they ďŹ tted Busic with a compression stocking, tightly ďŹ tted from toe to thigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wear it,â&#x20AC;? Busic admitts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to wear sandals in the summer! So Erin got me ďŹ&#x201A;esh colored stockings with no toes, so I can wear sandals with my slacks.â&#x20AC;? Busic confesses she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear the stocking as faithfully as she should, but always wears it on Biking with her husband Lance is more comfortable for Cris Busic since she completed lymphedema treatment at motorcycle trips like the one she took to Key West.

What is lymphedema? An estimated 6.8 million people in the United States have lymphedema or are at risk for developing it, according to the Lymphedema Network, a nonproďŹ t organization devoted to educating people about this little-known condition. Lymphedema is a buildup of lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid, typically in an arm or a leg, but it can also happen in the face or neck. The lymph system is part of the immune and circulatory systems. Lymph nodes act as small traps for disease-causing bacteria or particles, and lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uid literally ďŹ&#x201A;ushes pathogens out of cells. If the lymph nodes or vessels are damaged from injury, surgery, radiation cancer treatments or illnesses, ďŹ&#x201A;uid can build up in a portion of the body, causing uncomfortable swelling, skin ďŹ ssures and, eventually, infection. Breast cancer is the No. 1 precursor to lymphedema in the United States, since many breast cancer surgeries disturb the lymph nodes under the arm. Some 42 percent of breast cancer patients develop lymphedema within ďŹ ve years of diagnosis of breast cancer. While there is no cure for lymphedema, it can be treated with light massage, compression wrappings and the wearing of a compression garment daily. For more information about lymphedema treatment, contact Fort Sanders Therapy Centers at (865) 541-1300.

Swelling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normal. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Fort Sanders Therapy Center certiďŹ ed lymphedema specialist and physical therapist Erin McCallum wants you to know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lymphedema is one of the newer diagnoses in the medical world, in the last 20 years or so,â&#x20AC;? says McCallum. Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid in the tissues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people who have swelling in their leg or foot are told by their doctors that nothing can be done, or they prescribe compression stockings, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them the appropriate size. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the right size, the stockings may not work for them,â&#x20AC;? she explains. Current treatment for lymphedema was developed in Germany, McCallum says. It involves massage, compression wrapping and compression garments, and typically takes anywhere from three weeks to three months of physical therapy several times each week to see results. Then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifetime of maintenance moves to prevent the swelling from returning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients learn to do those things at home, and they can manage quite well on their own,â&#x20AC;? says McCallum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drinking water is helpful,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eating salty foods is not so helpful, because eating salt makes the body retain water. Exercise is always good. Your lymphatic vessels rely on your muscles to pump that

The more you use your calf muscles, the more that assists the lymphatic ďŹ&#x201A;uid from accumulating.â&#x20AC;? Standing for long periods of time can make lymphedema worse, as does sitting in one position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do is not a cure,â&#x20AC;? McCallum says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do is help people manage their problems on their own so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to see me forever.â&#x20AC;? Many people have lymphedema and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know it, admits McCallum. Swelling can be mild and last for years before it ďŹ&#x201A;ares up into something that is very uncomfort-

able. Waiting too long for treatment just makes it harder to treat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll develop an infection or a blood clot,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, if your skin stretches too much, eventually it will burst. You want to treat it before it gets to that point.â&#x20AC;? McCallum wants people to know that swelling from lymphedema can be managed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is help available,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to live with it.â&#x20AC;?

Spay Day in America According to YoungWilliams Animal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, on average, a cat can give birth to 18 kittens each year and a dog can give birth to 20 puppies each year. When you consider how many homeless animals there are in this country that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spayed or neutered, the result is a very, very large and very fast-growing animal population. Tuesday, Feb. 22, is national Spay Day. If you are interested in making a difference and helping an animal in some way, consider making a monetary donation to a local shelter or low-cost spay and neuter clinic to help control the animal population.
