IN THIS ISSUE Buy bulbs!

Plant flowers!

Her name was Maria de la Luz Compere, and before she died Jan. 24 at age 97, this tiny human dynamo was responsible for planting some 2 million daffodils along Pellissippi Parkway.

Betty Bean says there is a simple way to honor her legacy: Buy some bulbs. Plant some flowers.

Do not call the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy an alternative school if you’re within earshot of principal Kim Towe, who will politely set you straight: “We are a nontraditional school, and we value the fact that we work with our students individually. And we value the fact that they are on a non-traditional learning plan.”

Old Vols hang together Marvin West looks for good things to say about Tennessee football: “I keep going back to old Volunteers. They do not disappoint.

“Through the years, they keep caring about each other.

They hang together like lodge brothers. In sad times, including those that end in heartbreak, they pick each other up as they once did on the field.”

Chili Chowdown is big hit also a crowd favorite. The League also served hot dogs, and Women’s League members sold their homemade baked desserts.

Over in the corner, Hubert LaRue was showing snippets of Halls history he has collected through the years. Dave Hall and friends entertained the crowd with classic country and bluegrass favorites.

Just about everybody was sporting a smile, and more than one person said they hope the Women’s League holds a similar community event soon.

“We’d like to thank the community for its overwhelming support,” says Women’s League president Mariblair Smith.

The Halls history project is documenting the community’s settling, founding and growth from its late 18th century roots.

If you have any photos, diaries, family records or other items to contribute to the project, email Jake Mabe at JakeMabe1@aol. com or call 922-4136.

More than 200 people packed the Halls Senior Center on Feb. 1 for the League’s Chili Chowdown supper. The event was a fundraiser for the League’s Halls history book project.

Corryton School secured by locks, doorbell

By Ruth White At last week’s school board workshop a grandmother of Corryton Elementary School students waited her turn to speak.

After an hour-long discussion of school security, Sherry Michienzi challenged the board about inadequacies at Corryton.

Later in the week, we visited Corryton principal Jamie Snyder. She said she had talked with Michienzi and clarified the issue.

“We have security at

Corryton, we just don’t have surveillance,” said Snyder.

Corryton School is locked down daily with a doorbell at the front door.

To gain admittance, visitors simply ring the bell and wait for a staff person.

The school does not have surveillance cameras, Snyder said, and such cameras would be helpful.

“We are the farthest school (from downtown) and response time would be approximately 20 min-

walk to the back of the gym.”

School security is a hot topic following revelations that security systems in some schools were improperly installed.

Mike McMillan, who represents the 8th District on the school board, suggested superintendent Dr. Signs on the front door at Jim McIntyre had “downplayed the magnitude,” afCorryton School ter McIntyre documented utes,” she said. “Also, we that he had notified the have portable buildings board. that I can’t see unless I

Much of it was in the form of computers and software. But West High School physics teacher Joe Foy brought gadgets, including a dual range force sensor.

Senior Indiana Laine said the sensor measures simple harmonic motion. Working

with such equipment leads to a deeper understanding than learning from a book, she said.

Hardin Valley Academy business teacher Vivian West demonstrated Edmodo, a social media platform that allows teachers to post agendas and assignments, and allows students to turn in assignments and ask questions. Students like it because it mimics the world they live in, she said.

Sophomore Kane Smith says Edmodo makes school easier. Email is awkward, he said, and posting questions on Edmodo helps everyone in the class.

Dr. Jim McIntyre wants to put a computer in the hands of every student and teacher at 10 schools during the next budget year.

It’s a step back from the ambitious five-year program for all schools presented, but not funded, last year. But it’s a step forward in equipping our kids for real world life and careers.

By Wendy Smith Instead of doing chemistry homework, Chris Kleinschmidt, a sophomore at the L&N STEM Academy, listens to an online lecture by teacher Glenn Arnold each evening. Then, during class time, Arnold answers questions and helps students work through problems.

It’s called a flipped classroom, and it’s becoming more common across the country, Arnold said. Students are more likely to struggle with homework, so he’s available while they’re doing it. They can listen to the 15-minute lecture when it’s most convenient for them.

“It’s shifted the responsibility to their hands,” he said, and it’s possible because every student at the STEM Academy is equipped with an iPad. Arnold was one of several teachers who brought students and examples of school technology to the State of the Schools presen-

Edmondson gets top job at Clayton Bank

By Sandra Clark Halls guy Travis Edmondson has been named chief executive officer for Clayton Bank.

Edmondson, 33, is a lawyer Edmondson and has worked for Clayton Bank for seven years.

A graduate of Halls High School, Edmondson still lives in the community with wife Kristin and children Weston, 6, and Wade, 3.

Jim Clayton, who founded Clayton Homes in 1956, is the principal shareholder.

He chairs the board of directors and remains active with the bank, Edmondson said.

He sold Clayton Homes to Warren Buffett in 2003 after posting 30 consecutive years of 25 percent earnings growth, according to the bank’s website.

“We just bought a bank in Lynchburg,” said Edmondson, bringing Clayton Bank to 16 offices across the state. There are five offices in the Knoxville area, including the recently refurbished branch in Alcoa.

The main office is at 620 Market Street in Knoxville. It has a distinctive Halls flavor with Brent Ball, Blair Calloway Lively, Ryan Mabe and Jonathan Hart working there.

Hot off the press County historian publishes 8th book

By Libby Morgan

Among the Halls High students and faculty who traveled to Washington, D.C. for the presidential inaugural are: (kneeling) teacher Debbie Anderson, Victoria Dishner, Tiffany Fitzgibbon, Kayla Maples, Megan Gaylor, Micalee Segers, Lindsay King, Hannah Jackson; (second row) Hannah West, Alea Coble, Samantha Slater, Monica Raymond, Wendy Harmon, Allison Wagoner, Marina Dupes, Tori Johnson, Kelsey Whited, Heather Morelock, Isaiah Cash; (back) Kaitlyn Steele, Shelby Hickman, Daniel Harrell, Austin Thomas, Peyton Terry, Jacob King, Daniel Russell, Grant Wilds, Jackson Fields and teacher Tim Reeves.

History comes alive on trip to D.C. It’s one thing to read about and discuss President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in history class.

It’s quite another to visit Ford’s Theatre, where the deed was done, and walk across the street to the Petersen House, gaze into the bedroom in which Lincoln gasped his last breath and see the blood-stained pillow on which his head rested.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS And that’s the whole point of taking students who have passed U.S. government or American history classes to Washington, D.C. for the presidential inauguration, says Halls High social studies teacher Tim Reeves.

“A lot of times, it’s difficult for students to visualize certain aspects of history,” Reeves says. “But when you go somewhere like Ford’s Theatre, or particularly to

Arlington National Cemetery and see the sacrifices others have made for your freedom, it comes alive.”

Reeves was a senior at Halls High when a group attended Bill Clinton’s 1993 inauguration. The trip to Washington was resurrected for George W. Bush’s 2005 inauguration and has been organized for each successive presidential inauguration. Reeves says students can sign up for the trip until the day before the presidential election. That date isn’t a coincidence.

“Because we want this trip to be about going to see the president, not a particular person or a president from a particular political party.”

Planning begins a year in advance, in part to get approval from Knox County Schools and arrange plans with a travel agency, but also to set up payment plans for students who need them, because Reeves says, “the trip is expensive.”

This year, 33 students visited Washington, D.C., from Jan. 19-22, along with Reeves, social studies teacher Debbie Anderson and Halls High administra-

tors Mark Duff and Dana Hall, who served as chaperones.

“That’s also a good thing, because all of us are or were history teachers,” Reeves says. “So we tell stories. And the tour bus driver did an excellent job.”

In addition to attending President Barack Obama’s inaugural address, the students got to attend an inaugural ball put on by the travel company the school used. They also went to as many museums and monuments as possible.

A quick voice-vote survey of several of the students who made the trip revealed that their favorite stops included Arlington National Cemetery, the Holocaust Museum and the Newseum, an interactive museum of news and journalism that opened in its current incarnation in April 2008.

“It is wonderful,” Reeves says, “and was very popular among the students.

This was the first time I had been there. It includes the largest portion of the Berlin Wall outside of Germany and the remains of a communication tower that was located on top of one

of the World Trade Center towers when they were hit on 9/11.”

Reeves says U.S. Rep. John Duncan and Sen. Lamar Alexander helped make the trip extra special for the Halls group. One student was able to secure four tickets for the seated viewing area during the inauguration from Alexander’s office. Duncan’s office also secured 11 tickets located in the standing viewing area, closer to the U.S. Capitol than the public viewing area, which is located roughly near the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum. The extra tickets were dispersed to a few lucky students by a random lottery.

Duncan also gave the students a tour of the Capitol building, including a rare visit to the floor of the House of Representatives.

A group photo was taken with Duncan in front of the statue of Tennessee hero and former governor John Sevier.

“We think it’s important for the kids to see that in the United States nearly a million people show up to hear the president say a few words and to witness the peaceful transition (of administrations).

“And, for a student to go into the Smithsonian and touch a moon rock, that’s invaluable.”

Bonnie Peters has done it again, for the eighth time.

Her latest book, “Tales from the Hills and Hollows of East Tennessee,” has just arrived from the printer. It is a compilation of chosen articles from the past seven years of her columns in the ShopperNews.

“My motivation for this book was the many calls I get requesting reprints of columns, mostly from people who are descended from those mentioned in the historical pieces,” says Peters.

“Tales” contains a varied mix of legends, murders, a hanging, lots of history, current events and even some old-time recipes. A “wholesale poisoning” by lemonade in 1902 fortunately didn’t kill anyone. Famous musicians from the late Chet Atkins to the young Sarah Morgan make appearances.

Did you know silkworms were grown in Union County? And, in a certain phase of the silkworm life cycle, if a cat ate the worms (they loved them) that it killed them?

Fascinating stuff, all in short pieces.

At a young 70-plus years of age, Bonnie Heiskell Peters has a lot going on. In addition to writing for this newspaper, she is a board member of Preservation Union County, working with the East Tennessee Preservation Alliance.

The group’s current focus is restoring the Oak Grove School in Sharps Chapel.

She is president of the Inskip Lions Club, which recently helped form the Union County Lions Club. She serves on the Records Commission for Knox and Union counties, helping both local governments comply with regulations to care for county records. This task is getting more and more difficult with the changing face of information media.

She explains, “We are concerned about the longevity of digital information. We know paper with pencil writing can last hundreds of years, and that paper with ballpoint writing is comparably shortlived.

“We do not know how long a CD or a DVD will be readable, or even what device will read them decades from now.

Courts are moving toward being completely paperless, so we will need that information stored in a secure method, where it will be accessible forever.”

Bonnie, now retired, had a 25-year career at TVA in various positions of management and administration.

Her family, the Heiskells, immigrated to the region in the 1700s, and landed in what is now north Knox County to found Heiskell

Bonnie Heiskell Peters at home with a copy of “Tales from the Hills and Hollows of East Tennessee.” Photo by Libby Morgan Station. Her great grandfather, George Heiskell, moved from Heiskell to Beard Valley, well before Union County was formed. Her 12 siblings, a his/hers and ours bunch, grew up there, and their offspring are all over the country. The eldest sibling was the late Roscoe Heiskell, born just after the turn of the century. Thirty-two years later, Bonnie was the last one born.

She had nephews and nieces older than she.

Bonnie and her late husband, Sam Peters, have one daughter, Sheri Hensley, currently on medical leave from her position as countywide guidance counselor in Union County.

Bonnie’s other books are “Early Heiskells and Hyskells in America,” “History of Pleasant Grove Methodist Church,” “Union County Schoolday Memories,” and “History of Hansard Chapel Methodist Church.”

She co-authored with the late Winnie Palmer McDonald, “Our Union County Families” and “Union County Faces of War.” Husband Sam was co-author for “Mark Monroe: An East Tennessee Pioneer.”

There are a few copies of each of these books available from Bonnie’s dwindling stock.

The print run of “Tales” is limited, so get it while you can.

Bonnie’s new book is available for $20 at: ■ Okie’s in Maynardville ■ Home Federal in Fountain City ■ Museum of Appalachia in Norris ■ Museum of East Tennessee History ■ From the author at bhpeters@att.net

government Clinton vs. Biden State party election foretells 2016 fight

Victor Ashe

Under the surface, the election of Roy Herron as chair of the Democratic State Executive Committee was an early skirmish between the forces favoring Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 and forces favoring Vice President Joe Biden or someone closer to President Obama’s legacy.

Some may deny this, but my sources tell me this rivalry was already at play as a second tier issue.

Clinton clobbered Obama here in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, and Obama has never done well in Tennessee in either a primary or general election. He has ignored the recommendations of the state’s senior Democrat, Jim Cooper, for federal positions for those who had actually backed Obama over Clinton.

While local Democratic state committee member Bill Owen actively backed Herron over Mayor Rogeroendorsed Dave Garrison, Sylvia Woods, longtime organized labor and Democratic Party activist who serves also on the State Executive Committee, actively backed Garrison.

Herron won by a comfortable margin.

In 2016, Tennessee is not likely to vote for the Democratic nominee to succeed Obama, but the state will be relevant in choosing the Democratic nominee.

■ Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre’s failure to brief all school board members and the public in full on the security issues facing Knox schools has handed his opponents an effective issue. Security at schools is top in the minds of parents. Not keeping the people who hired you fully informed on issues which generate negative frontpage headlines can be the making of early retirement plans.

McIntyre has had mostly positive reviews up to now.

This is the first time he has hit seriously troubled waters. He can survive it if he is totally open with the school board and public, acknowledges errors, takes responsibility, and clearly embarks on a new path of providing full information to all parties, but especially those who determine his tenure.

our interstates. Every local official had some encounter over the years with Compere, who called frequently expressing her deeply-held views. She is irreplaceable. Knoxville looks better because of her efforts for flowers and trees.

■ Possible candidates to lead the Knox County Democratic Party when state Rep. Gloria Johnson’s term ends include Doug Veum, Linda Haney and John Bohstedt.

Others may emerge between now and the date of the convention.

■ Former state Sen. Bill Owen has been in Kenya several times the past year for Pete DeBusk and DeRoyal, seeking to sell hospital supplies to Kenyan hospitals which are now supplied in large part by the Chinese. Owen has been 5 times in 2012 and is currently in Kenya for his sixth trip.

■ Dennis Francis, a Democratic member of the local Election Commission, is leaving the commission in two months. State Rep. Gloria Johnson will make the recommendation for his replacement to the State Election Commission.

While Johnson declined to name her choice, speculation centers on former county commissioner Mark Harmon and attorney Tammy Kaousias as possible replacements.

Greg Mackay’s new appointment with the city appears to remove him as an appointee. Both Harmon and Kaousias would be active members questioning why meetings are held at 8 a.m. and seeking the re-opening of Belle Morris School as a polling place.

It is unclear whether all of the Republican members will be reappointed. No Republican woman has served on the Election Commission in more than 20 years.

Kaousias would be the first Greek American to serve on the Election Commission.

Commissioners are eligible for county health insurance, which is worth more than the salary.

■ Mayor Tommy Battle is taking on TVA’s tree-cutting practices within the city limits of Huntsville, Ala. Seems to be identical issues to what happened here except the Huntsville mayor is publicly opposing TVA. More on this next week.

Balancing the cost Can we afford both safety and success?

There’s been a lot of talk about school security over the past couple of weeks.

We’ve learned that a couple of Knox County Schools were determined, back in 2011, to have shoddy security, including electronic keypad entry systems that were anchored to the wall but not connected to the door.

This is unacceptable, it was fi xed and the contractor is being sued.

I would find this more disturbing if any of the three Knox County schools my children have attended had electronic keypad security systems. But I’m not disturbed. Such security

Wendy Smith

would just slow me down when I’m dropping off my kid’s forgotten lunch.

The cold, hard reality is that an armed intruder isn’t likely to use a school’s front door. And in Knox County, a gun is much more likely to be brought into a school by a student, or even a teacher, than an intruder.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against secure schools.

I’m just afraid that the issue of security is going to distract us from the primary reason for schools,

which is education.

Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre had positive things to say about the direction of Knox County Schools at last week’s State of the Schools address. TCAP scores were up two to five percent at the end of last year, and our 2012 graduation rate was 90.3 percent – a rise of 3.7 percent.

But not all of the numbers were good. Only 49 percent of our high school students scored a 21 or higher on the ACT, and only 38 percent of our 8th graders scored proficient or advanced on math TCAPs. McIntyre believes technology can make a difference in the classroom by allowing students to work and learn at their own pace.

PetSafe CEO and philanthropist Randy Boyd, also at the State of the Schools forum, said if we fail to provide technology skills to

our children, we fail to give them what they need for college and for jobs.

Equality suffers when only rich kids have access to technology, he said.

A battle between increased technology and enhanced school security is looming for the upcoming school budget discussion.

McIntyre wants to equip 10 public schools with oneto-one technology, which means computers for each student as well as campuswide Internet access. But he also wants armed security guards in all schools. It would take a miracle for the county to fund both.

As parents, we worry about the threat of school violence. But our fears must not dictate budget decisions that prevent us from preparing all kids for the very real world.

Maria Compere’s work will go on Watch for spring bulb sale

One of the classic Maria Compere stories is that, after receiving a sternly-worded communication about a state road crew prematurely cutting down a million daffodils on Pellissippi Parkway, a governor of Tennessee (maybe Sundquist, maybe Bredesen – her wrath was non-partisan) put down an order that there would be no mowing during daffodil season until Maria said it was OK. Her name was Maria de la Luz Compere – Maria of the Light, translated literally – and, as has been said so many times recently, she was indeed a force of nature.

When she died last month at age 97, this tiny human dynamo was still making plans, still hatching ideas, and left behind hundreds of friends and thousands of admirers who wish they could do something to show how much she meant to them.

Well, there is.

Buy some bulbs. Plant some flowers.

Compere, who lived in Knoxville for 57 years, was responsible for planting 2 million daffodils along Pellissippi Parkway and was the driving force behind Knoxville Green’s annual spring bulb sale (she and husband Edgar founded Knoxville Green).

Plans for the sale were well underway before her death on Jan. 24, and her daughter Suzy and devoted friend Larry Silverstein are determined that it will go on.

“We’re going to continue her work, and we’ve got almost 80,000 daffodil bulbs that need to get into the ground,” Silverstein said.

“So we will definitely have a sale. We’re looking at locations, and in the next week

Betty Bean or two we will definitely have a sale. So stay tuned for an announcement.”

The Pellissippi daffodils were not the only Compere project, just the most visible.

Her obituary lists more: Knoxville Green’s donating more than $100,000 worth of bulbs and trees annually to the community: helping create an outdoor classroom and landscaping for the Laura Cansler Boys and Girls Club; chairing a garden club group that provided outdoor recreational facilities for the blind and disabled; working with the East Tennessee Community Design Center to develop the wheelchair-accessible Serendipity Trail at Ijams Nature Center; helping create a “healing garden” for cancer patients at the UT Medical Center Cancer Institute; and most recently, working with Knox County to develop a greenhouse and horticulture program for female inmates at the detention facility.

Some of her work was done through Ossoli Circle, of which she was a member.

Former city greenways coordinator Donna Young was another loyal friend. She and Silverstein took on a task this year when Maria was too ill to deliver lunch and snacks to the state prison inmates on the bulb-planting crew.

“She had done that all on her own,” Young said. “She would get them fried chicken from Kroger, and it was the best food they got to eat.

“She was so thoughtful and kind and was always trying to do the right thing.

“To me, she always made the right choice, the for-

Maria Compere at a recent bulb sale. File photo by S. Clark giving choice. Her family founded Monterey, and she was one of the most wellread, educated women I’ve ever known. If I had a problem, that’s who I would go to.

She taught me that when you want to make an ethical decision, you err on the side of the most vulnerable party.”

Born in Monterey, Mexico, in 1915, she won a scholarship to study biochemistry at Louisiana State University despite knowing no English.

A professor there took pity on her and asked Edgar Compere, a young teaching assistant who knew some Spanish, to help her out. As their daughter Suzy says, the rest was history: “My father went to meet her and fell instantly in love.

My father was in love with her until the last breath he drew. He loved us, but he adored her,” Suzy said.

Edgar Compere became a nuclear scientist, and moved the family to Oak Ridge in 1951. He died in 1996.

In 2008, Maria was in hospital off and on for seven months, in danger of losing

her legs. During that time, she raised $100,000 for the healing garden project, working the phone in her room at Fort Sanders Medical Center.

“Three days before her leg was scheduled to be amputated, she had meeting (previously set) with TDOT. I told her she was going to have to cancel it.

“She said, ‘No. You’ll just have to smuggle me out of the hospital. I have to do this, and you have to make it work. So I did. And she never said a word to the TDOT people about being in the hospital.

“She had a wonderful, productive, memorable, exciting, sweet life.”

Her friend Margaret Fuller read the William Wordsworth poem “Daffodils” at her memorial service.

It ends with this verse: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

The mail-order king George F. Barber (1854-1915)

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

I

n the early 1900s, George F. Barber’s architectural firm employed about 30 people working in drafting and 20 secretaries, occupying an entire floor of the French and Roberts building on North Gay Street.

It was Knoxville’s largest design firm and, quite possibly, the largest architectural firm in the state. At its zenith the firm sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, or an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913.

But for his physician’s advice, the firm might have developed up north. Barber’s health gradually declined in the late 1880s, when he was living in northern Illinois.

His physician felt that East Tennessee’s mountainous area, with its warmer climate and mineral waters, would prove beneficial for his stomach and liver problems, so he moved to the South.

George Franklin Barber was born in DeKalb, Ill., on July 31, 1854, the son of Lyman and Cornelia Barnett Barber. Early in life he moved to rural Fort Scott, Kan., to a farm adjoining his older sister’s on which he raised plants, which he advertised for sale as “ornamental nursery stock.”

His formal education was interrupted by the foment-

ing unrest in that state and then by the Civil War. As he matured, he spent a lot of time in the self-study of design and construction books, which he ordered by mail. It is thought that George Palliser’s “American Cottage Homes” (1878) was his major influence, but he also studied other technical books on those subjects.

In the mid-1880s, he returned to DeKalb, where he worked with his brother, Manley D. Barber, in Manley’s respected construction firm. There Barber published his first book, “The Cottage Souvenir,” which was produced on card stock tied together with a piece of yarn. The first edition featured 14 house plans but a second edition was soon published with 18. His earliest buildings were DeKalb’s Bradt House and the DeKalb Congregational Church.

When he moved to Knoxville in 1888 at age 34, he first partnered briefly with Martin Parmalee.

Barber served as the “artist” and Parmalee served as the “superintendent.”

By 1890, Parmalee had set up his own office, probably because Barber’s more flamboyant Victorian-era turrets, bay windows and gingerbread trim did not fit with Parmalee’s more conservative tastes. The families remained friends

George F. Barber (1854-1915).

Due to his declining health, George F. Barber moved to Knoxville in 1888, where he established his large architectural firm.

The Barber Residence at 1635 Washington Ave. (1890 to 1897).

This is the first of three homes George Barber built for his family on Washington Avenue. The turret, roof cresting and fancy chimneys, as shown in his catalogue (The Cottage Souvenir No. 2, Design No. 60), were typical of his ornate homes. Photos courtesy C.M. McClung Historical Collection

and Barber’s nephew, David West Barber, later married Parmalee’s daughter, Carol.

In 1892, Barber partnered with J.C. White, a descendant of Knoxville’s founder, who had been one of his early clients. He also joined others in the Edgewood Land Co., which was developing the Park City suburb and designed more than a dozen houses for the project, including his own house at 1635 Washington Ave. In 1890, Barber published “The Cottage Souvenir No. 2” which contained 59 house plans, as well as plans for two barns, a church, a chapel, two storefronts and several pavilions. His influence quickly expanded and his plans were soon used for homes in Jacksonville, Ore., Mount Dora, Fla., and Henderson, Ky. In Knoxville, he built the Romanesque-inspired Ziegler House and an impressive home for his printer, S.B. Newman.

Between 1892 and 1907, he printed nine large mailorder catalogues and a se-

SPECIAL

ries of samplers, most of them produced in Knoxville by S.B. Newman & Co. In addition he printed an 86-page booklet “Appreciation,” which featured testimonials of satisfied customers, their portraits, and the plans and photographs of their homes. They included members of the rising middle class: a young attorney or physician, a railroad company treasurer, the vice-president of a bank, a hardware company executive, etc.

About 1895, he parted with White and formed a new firm with Thomas Kluttz. The first edition of his magazine, American Homes (A Journal Devoted to Planning, Building and Beautifying the Home) was published in January 1895.

It advertised his house plans and furnished advice on interior design and landscaping and included a multi-part history of architecture.

There were competitors, but Barber’s magazine was more literary, containing articles on residential con-

struction, proper siting of a suburban home, information on major historic landmarks and accounts of visits to housing expositions. Barber controlled the publication until 1902, when the editorial offices were moved to New York City. He continued to contribute articles periodically.

Barber’s most innovative contribution to the mail-order home industry was his method of assuring results.

He designed a 44-question survey through which his prospective clients supplied their needs and wants. It included a “Handy Sketch Sheet” conveniently ruled off in 1/8” squares on which the client could supply a rough sketch of the floor plan desired. He encouraged his clients to, “Write to us concerning any changes wanted in plans, and keep writing till you get what you want. Don’t be afraid of writing too often. We are not easily offended.”

At one point in his career, Barber developed a “house-in-a-kit” concept that Sears and Roebuck

later adopted. One of the $6,000 kits was shipped to a wealthy Irish merchant, Jeremiah Nunan, who lived in Jacksonville, Ore. The 21-room prefab house and barn were shipped from Knoxville precut and partially assembled, lacking only the roof and foundation. It required 137 crates loaded on 14 boxcars. The house was sold in 1977 for $185,000 and more than a half million dollars were spent to restore it before it was opened to the public as an upscale restaurant.

The success of the company can be measured by the wide geographic spread of Barber homes: 47 homes by one builder in Baltimore, for instance. Almost 50 are currently listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. The company correspondence included letters from Japan, China, the Philippines, South Africa, Europe, Canada and almost every state in the Union. Dr. Michael Tomlan, a 1973 UT graduate who is now an architectural preservationist at Cornell University, is the leading authority on George Barber’s work. He has documented more than 650 George Barber homes still standing nationwide.

George Franklin Barber passed away on Feb. 17, 1915, and rests in the family burial plat in Greenwood Cemetery. His wife, the former Laura Cheney (1855-1925), died just nine days before him. They were survived by their three children: sons George F. Barber Jr. and Charles I. and daughter Laura. Charles I. Barber’s distinguished career in architecture is the subject of a future article.

Search for something good In my continuous search for good things to say about Tennessee football, I keep going back to old Volunteers. They do not disappoint.

Through the years, they keep caring about each other. They hang together like lodge brothers. In sad times, including those that end in heartbreak, they pick each other up as they once did on the field.

When it is party time, even with gimpy knees, they can roll back the rug and do the two-step like you wouldn’t believe.

Dozens of ol’ Vols and a few former coaches were at the celebration of Nick Showalter’s life a few months ago. They lined up in support of former line coach Ray Trail when his and Sandy’s daughter died.

Robbie Franklin rallied old teammates when fullback Stan Mitchell was ill

and led the delegation to Sparta at the end.

Forty-one years after Walter Chadwick’s tailback body was battered and broken by a heavy money truck that crossed the yellow line and ran over his Volkswagen bug, several old Vols remain in his Wednesday lunch bunch. They do not miss a birthday or holidays or any other excuse to gather and retell tall tales. They are faithful friends. Steve Kiner has never let go.

You don’t hear about it but if Walter needs something, former coach Bill Battle is often first to send a check.

Walter gives back inspiration. He lives at Regency House in the Atlanta area.

Back in October, he noticed how beautiful the leaves were, especially the bright yellows and oranges.

His comment: “We serve a wonder-working God.” Former fullback Richard Pickens has more than a fair share of Lou Gehrig’s disease and short-term memory problems. Former teammate Jim McDonald manages his finances. Dick Williams has been a steady supporter. Dewey Warren is always good for some great yarns.

Charles Rosenfelder and Bill Young took Pick to Buddy’s Bar-b-q the other Sunday after church.

Franklin, Mack Gentry, Bobby Gratz and Reg Jellicorse were with him at Texas Roadhouse the day he knocked his plate off the table and made a steak-

For thou wilt light my candle; The Lord, my God, will enlighten my darkness.

(Psalm 18: 28 KJV)

To double day and cut in half the dark … (“A Young Birch,” Robert Frost) I love candles – all kinds of candles.

I have big candles and little candles and elegant candles and pillar candles and tea light candles and birthday candles and homemade candles. I even have a tiny travel candleholder, with a tea light in it, that stays packed in my

overnight bag.

I may be the only nonsmoker in the world who always has a box of matches in her purse.

I was grown before I discovered the magic, the mystery, the sensory pleasure of one solitary candle. There were always candles on birthday cakes at my house,

and candles on the dinner table at Christmas. But it was as an adult that I realized that candlelight is kind and soft and mysterious.

It was in church that I learned that candles are one of the ways in which we pray. The f lame reaches toward heaven, much as our hearts yearn for the heart of God. The smoke rises like our prayers, and carries our hopes and

Pickens said he sure was glad it wasn’t his ice cream that went down.

Even the clean-up crew laughed and the restaurant was quick with another plate.

Bubba Wyche returned to Neyland Stadium last season for the first time in a long time. He has health problems (vertebra issues, blood disorder, breathing troubles and entirely too much pain).

His left leg has not taken kindly to 11 knee operations.

Wyche, you may recall, was the third-string quarterback who managed that delightful victory over Bear Bryant’s Alabama in Birmingham in 1967. Yes, that was the afternoon Albert Dorsey made allAmerican and Sports Illustrated responded with a big spread.

Wyche’s return to UT turned into a celebration.

There was a surprise pre-

game ceremony in the Lauricella Center.

Years ago, a fan gave quarterback Bobby Scott a print of an Alexander Dumas painting that featured Tennessee’s No. 18. It wasn’t Bobby. He wore 17.

“What’s more, I’m better looking than that,” quipped Scott.

It was Bubba in the spotlight but nobody told him.

Mike Price and Jerry Holloway had the artwork framed. They presented it to Wyche. Emotional remarks included what I thought was admiration of toughness, deep appreciation for terrific times past and even brotherly love.

Two or three people got something in their eyes.

I made myself a note so I wouldn’t forget: There really is something to this “Vol for life” stuff.

fears and confessions.

Nowadays, I keep a burning candle on the table in my office. Sometimes the candle is scented, sometimes not. Sometimes it is small, sometimes large. But it is always there.

Because it is a constant, I am not always aware of its fragrance. When a colleague or one of our neighbors walks into my office, however, they frequently comment on the scent.

And when someone asks me to keep them in my prayers, I usually respond, “The candle is burning and prayers ascend.”

It serves its true purpose, you see, as a reminder. It reminds me that there is power beyond this earth,

power that I can tap into, but not control. I am careful with the flame, aware that even in its warmth and beauty and grace, it has the power to burn and destroy.

It reminds me of all the prayers around the world, of all the little altars everywhere, of all the supplicants who cry out to God in agonizing despair, or in astonished joy.

It reminds me of my own sinfulness, and nudges me to repent. It offers me comfort, solace, encouragement.

Most of all, it keeps me aware of the holy, of the Holy One, of the sanctity of each and every day, and of the words of the old song, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”

Support Our Schools (SOS) recently participated in the annual Partners in Education conference with teachers, social workers and support staff.

In a one-hour breakout session entitled “How Can a Citizen’s Group Help Our Public Schools?” the group discussed topics SOS plans to address this year, including vouchers, teacher evaluations, guns in schools and the school budget process.

Gov. Bill Haslam established a task force on vouchers in March 2012 to hear from experts, study approaches taken by other states, analyze the private and public school landscapes, and interview stakeholders. The administration proposed Senate Bill (SB)196 under the title of “Tennessee Choice and Opportunity Scholarships,” commonly referred to as vouchers.

Super i ntendent Dr. Jim McIntyre, Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “JJ” Jones and Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch will hold a forum on student safety and school security 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, at Amherst Elementary School, 5101 Schaad Road.

SOS began in November 2010 when five local women committed to raise public awareness about public school matters. SOS publishes an enewsletter. Readership has grown to several hundred people with strong community interest in the education of young people. Info: SOS. knoxtn@gmail.com.

Mission Statement: To improve the quality of life of all those God places in our path by building on our experiences of the past, pursuing our vision for the future and creating caring life-long relationships.

One church, two locations

By Cindy Taylor Local churches have been establishing multiple campuses across the county for a few years. Pastors Alan Bradford, Molly Aper and members prefer to think of Crossings as one church meeting in two locations.

Launched in 2007 in west Knox, Crossings members had a heart to go where other churches hadn’t at the time – downtown and old north Knoxville.

“We are a faith community helping people find their way back to God,” said Bradford, who pastors at the north location. “We gather here to scatter out.”

The church meets at 4 Market Square and at Christenberry Elementary School. Bradford and Aper help staff the Christenberry location where they say they have been welcomed with open arms.

“We always wanted to be downtown,” said Brad-

ford. “At the same time we were hoping to become part of a school. Now we can do both.”

The Crossings congregation includes several teachers, so holding services at a school was ideal. Aper, who also coaches volleyball, works mostly in the children’s ministry at the church.

“Partnering with a school

is beneficial for us and the community,” she said.

“Christenberry is in the heart of its neighborhood, and we wanted to come alongside the school to help any way we can.”

Church members are a part of the PTO at Christenberry and also support the teachers and students with special meals and free book fairs. The church often

sponsors free events open to the community where hundreds show up for food, fun and games.

“When an event is over and people collect their chairs to walk home, it is so great to see the number of community members that have taken part,” said Bradford.

While there are no plans to plant additional churches, the staff at Crossings does have a vision. That is simply to bring people back to God. Service is dismissed each week with the word shalom, a Hebrew word meaning peace. To those at Crossings it also means restoration and living life the way God intended.

“Many people in their 20s were leaving the church,” said Aper. “We are seeing that age group expand in our church, and that helps us know we are where we belong.”

Crossings Church Sunday worship gatherings are 9 a.m. and 10:30.a.m. at the Market Square location and 10 a.m. at Christenberry.

did, but the parking lot was totally covered with snow.

So I called the singers, who said they were 25 miles out, and the interstate was all backed up. So we cancelled the concert and I postponed the church service for everyone’s safety. We will schedule Back Home for a concert at a later date.”

Meanwhile, Grace Baptist Church altered its Sunday service plans as well. The church cancelled its early morning service. By the late morning service time, the snow had melted.

“We postponed the Discover Grace class though,” said senior pastor Ron Stewart. They had the class the following Sunday on Feb. 10.

Brewster honored as Corryton’s teacher of year When Emily Brewster was growing up, her mom was a teacher. She witnessed first hand the long hours her mother spent grading papers and preparing lessons every day. So when it was time to attend college, Brewster “went as far away from teaching as possible.”

Corryton Elementary holds

science fair

Ruth White

She earned a degree in business from Tennessee Tech and went into human resources.

“It was like teaching but with adults, so after my son was born I decided to return to school and become a teacher.”

Brewster went through the post-baccalaureate program at South College and six years ago joined the family at Corryton Elementary.

This year, her peers chose her as their building level Teacher of the Year.

Principal Jamie Snyder said, “We held a reception to honor Emily last week and I could see in the eyes of the other teachers that they were genuinely happy for her.”

Brewster successfully applied to be a lead teacher at the school.

“She is an important piece of what goes on at Corryton.”

Through the role as lead teacher (along with another

teacher), Brewster provides Snyder with insight from the teachers’ perspective on professional development and problem solving. She is also helping develop a plan for the school’s future.

“Her knowledge gives back to the future of instructing. She’s phenomenal.”

Brewster has also made a big investment in the school, according to Snyder, by having her child attend school at Corryton.

“She is fully invested in the school and its future because it affects her as a teacher and as a parent.”

When she isn’t providing classroom instruction, Brewster helps children of other grades. She loves that the smaller school allows her to get to know most of the

children by name and chat with them on a regular basis, helping build relationships.

Her first priority is educating her students, but she feels she must also think about the next group of students that will enter her classroom. With her big, welcoming smile and friendly demeanor, she finds ways to make children feel loved.

“Sometimes that is just as important as a test score.

Kids need to feel valued.”

“She is a worker bee,” said Snyder. “I am so proud that she was honored by her peers. I wish I could clone her.”

Brewster believes the honor should be shared with the other teachers.

“This isn’t just my honor,” she said. “It is ours.”

Students at Corryton Elementary School used their imaginations and came up with some interesting subjects during the school’s recent science fair.

Winner of the Student Choice award was Ryley Kirby for the experiment “What ratio of baking soda, vinegar and dish detergent creates the best explosion?”

Second place winner was Emma Patterson with her answer to the question: “Do cut flowers absorb warm or cold water faster?”

Selected by teachers as top displays were first place winner Dylan Smith with “How clean is restaurant drinking water?” and second place winner Marisa Adams with “Moods: What’s yours?

Do mood rings really work?”

Taking home gold medals were Madleyn Adkins (“BFF or Bacteria Bandit?”), Ashley Boruff (“All of my TV shows are canceled”), Nella Atchley (“Which detergent removes oil from feathers best?”), Isaiah Fields (“Do changes in voltage effect the strength of an electromagnet?”), Lydia Adkins (“Five second rule or five second drool?”) and Shelby Billingsley (“Color vs. Taste— which egg tastes better?”)

Shopper-News Presents Miracle Makers

‘Y’all, don’t give up on us’

By Betty Bean Abby Standifer was a good student who found herself in a pickle.

“I was having problems at my other school,” Abby said. “I was being bullied a lot and was given the option of being home schooled or coming here. I didn’t want to choose home school because I knew I wouldn’t do the work. Here, I have teachers holding me accountable for stuff.”

“Here” is the Paul L. Kelley Volunteer Academy in Knoxville Center Mall. Abby attends classes from 8:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and is taking accounting, Algebra 1 and U.S. history. Technically a junior, she only needs two credits to be eligible to graduate.

“I’m working toward graduating in May, which means I’m going to graduate a whole year early.”

After that, she plans to go to college, although she’s not quite sure where at this point. She believes she made the right choice when she decided to come to the academy.

“I would have found a way to stay on track in my old school, but here, I’m more able to focus on myself without being bothered by others. There’s no bullying here.”

Principal Kim Towe says Abby was an ideal candidate for the academy.

“This place gives them a way to do their own thing – focus on school, keep the distractions away, get away from the drama.”

Tamika Walters is a senior who has been at KVA since early October. She made the change because she had fallen behind.

“She needed more credits than she could have earned in a year at her base school,” Towe said.

And how does she like her new school?

“It’s better than regular school. I was surprised, to be honest,” Tamika says. “When I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be like an alternative school, where you just sit at the computer. But it’s not.”

She is in school from 10:40 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is taking a full load: Business English, economics, general business, Bridge Math and English 4. Despite her schedule, she says she’s enjoying it.

“I think it’s way more fun, going to school in the mall. If we go on break or lunch, some kids will go shopping, so it’s kinda fun.”

Tamika sometimes misses the social aspect of her old school, but says she already knew some kids at KVA and hasn’t had any problem making new friends as well.

Is she glad she came?

“Oh, gosh yes.”

Her goal is to graduate in May and go to Pellissippi State. She has a Tennessee Achieves Scholarship that will pay for two years at a community college. She believes that none of this would have been possible if she’d stayed where she was.

“I probably wouldn’t even have graduated, to be honest. I would recommend this school over every other school, especially for kids who are behind. This is way better than dropping out and getting a GED or going to adult school.”

Jessica Kennedy is there every day from 8:30 – 11:45 taking chemistry, U.S. government and banking. That’s quite a change from her previous school, where she failed algebra three times and was told that her choices were to drop out or enroll in KVA. “We’ve both been here since July 2011,” Towe said. “She came the same week I did. Jessica’s a wonderful young lady who has worked so, so hard. And she’s almost finished.”

“I want to be done next Wednesday,” Jessica said. “I’ll actually walk in May.” That’s another unique feature of the academy, Towe said.

“Our students finish when they finish.”

Jessica has a special incentive for wanting to get done: she’s having a baby boy in April. She plans to name him Michael David and says she plans to go to college and learn to work with

special needs kids.

She is confident that she made the right choice.

“My best friend was going to drop out and I told her to come here. She did, and now she’s already graduated,” Jessica said, turning to Towe: “Ya’ll don’t give up on us.”

Do not call the academy an alternative school if you’re within earshot of Towe, who will politely set you straight: “We are a nontraditional school, and we value the fact that we work with our students individually. And we value the fact that they (students) are on a non-traditional learning plan.”

Towe grew up in the Karns community and earned an undergraduate degree in special education at UT and a master’s in administration from Lincoln Memorial University. She has been with Knox County Schools for 17 years and is in her second year as principal of the Kelley Volunteer Academy, which opened in November 2010.

From 2008-11, Towe was assistant principal at Ridgedale Alternative School, and prior to that was an assistant principal at Halls High School for three years. She has also served as a special education mentor. She clearly loves where she is now.

“I have always had a passion to work with the underdogs – the students who are struggling, or need support and need that person who really cares.

These kids need support everywhere, and I have that passion for nontraditional approaches to learning.”

The academy is the namesake of the late school board member Paul Kelley,

Knox County Council PTA

who died in December. In a bittersweet coincidence, Kelley’s memorial service was held the same night as the academy’s graduation ceremony (there are three a year).

“We put up a video of Dr. Kelley’s life at the memorial service. We had a tribute to him prior to graduation.”

Towe believes that the school is a true reflection of Kelley’s life’s work.

“It’s all about building relationships with these kids, so they know you care and they’ll work harder. We work to make them see the relevance (of education) to their lives. There are so many opportunities they won’t have if they don’t have a diploma – military, all kinds of training and higher education, better jobs.”

The academy is a place where high school juniors and seniors who are at risk of not graduating, or who simply don’t fit well in a traditional high school environment, can take core and elective courses in language arts, science, mathematics, social studies, and business electives including marketing, accounting, personal finance and financial planning. The academy operates under a partnership between Knox County Schools and the Simon Youth Foundation, which supports 23 Education Resource Centers in communities where Simon Malls are located. The students come from Gibbs, Fulton, Halls, Powell and West high schools. The enrollment, which fluctuates a bit, is around 200.

But Towe says they are OK with that.

“If you ask my staff, they wouldn’t trade it for anything. They like what they do.”

She says the typical student is 17-19 years old and works at his or her own pace.

“They sort of like the independence. They like being able to say ‘I’m in charge of this.’ In a traditional high school if you fail that class, you’re sunk.

Here, you keep working through that subject. Here, zeros don’t exist. There’s no deadline. They turn in that assignment when they’re finished.

“And that’s a positive for these students. They don’t give up here because it’s up to them.”

The kickoff for the Covenant Kids Run at the Knoxville Zoo on Feb. 2 became a “Kids Walk” with snowy weather and slippery paths.

Also, parents were encouraged to walk with their children.

“The goal of the program is to have kids do their first mile here at the zoo and do 24 miles between now and the big event April 6 when they get to finish at the 50yard line in Neyland Stadium,” said Beth LaFontaine, Community Health Coordinator for Covenant Health.

According to LaFontaine, the event brought more participants than expected. “With the weather prediction Friday, we still had several hundred children register yesterday.

We planned for 750, and we had 794 pre-registered plus another hundred or so today.

The turnout is great, so I hope they have fun.”

The event also featured special fun characters: a frog, a bunny and Shoney’s Bear who posed for photos.

There were booths with gifts and games for the children to enjoy while waiting

News from Knox Area Rescue Ministries

Kroger airport rezoning delayed North Knox residents packed the Powell Branch Library last Thursday for Commissioner R. Larry Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;night outâ&#x20AC;? event.

Two topics dominated the discussion.

Tommy and Teresa Montgomery provided information about the Kroger Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to install fill dirt along Beaver Creek on the site of the old Powell Airport.

Kroger is eyeing 18 acres for a new store on the 80acre tract.

The Montgomerys, along with Dr. Bob Collier and others, spoke to Knoxville City Council Feb. 5, requesting a delay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need for people to know about this,â&#x20AC;? Teresa Montgomery said later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live on Overton Lane, directly across Beaver Creek from (the proposed site). If (Kroger) fills in, the water will come over on us.â&#x20AC;?

The airport land, owned by the heirs of Norman and Ruth Mayes, is inside the city of Knoxville, although neighbors are outside the city, in Knox County.

The second issue revolved around codes enforcement (or lack of same).

Gayle Barker brought pictures taken the day before of dozens of vendors set up in front of the abandoned Ingleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store on Clinton Highway.

Others brought copies of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shopper which pictured dirty lots.

Neighborhoods to connect, learn at community conference

Kohl’s Cares for Kids

By Anne Hart Representatives of neighborhoods through the city and county are invited to gather at the Knoxville Convention Center on Saturday, March 23, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the 2013 Neighborhood Conference, sponsored by the city’s Office of Neighborhoods.

“Connecting Neighborhoods, Building Community” will offer members and leaders of resident-led, resident-controlled neighborhood groups, including homeowner associations (HOAs), neighborhood associations, condo associations, tenant groups and neighborhood watch groups an opportunity to choose from more than 30 workshops on topics ranging from learning how zoning works to resolving disputes between neighbors to understanding the rights and responsibilities of renters and landlords.

The workshops will be staffed by experts from city and county government and other local organizations, who will speak on topics ranging from neighborhood blight to neighborhood traffic safety. Local law enforcement officials will discuss Neighborhood Watch, describe existing gang activity and offer anti-crime tips.

Residents will also be able to get tips on starting

David Massey, director of the city’s Office of Neighborhoods, told members of the Council of West Knox County Homeowners at their meeting last week that neighborhoods will receive the most benefit from the conference if 10 or 11 representatives from each are able to attend. Because each session lasts an hour and 15 minutes and there are more than 30 sessions, that would allow each to attend three sessions.

programs have all worked to boost lending markets since the late summer of 2012.

The largest property transfer of the month was a residential tract on Topside Road which sold for $1.2 million.

One loan was particularly noteworthy. A Trust Deed financing property off Cumberland Avenue near 19th Street came in for just over $51 million. Recording fees and taxes for the transaction totaled more than $58,000.

January definitely set a positive tone for the real estate market in 2013.

cal to that of last January – around $85 million – there were 122 more property sales registered than a year ago.

In the mortgage lending department, January’s numbers also outpaced those recorded last year.

For the month, some $353 million was loaned against property in Knox County, compared to $241 million during January 2012. Continued low interest rates, a pickup in home sales, and government refinancing

Everyone’s mamaw

By Ruth White I have known Jimmie Mathews since the late 1990s when her son Kent coached my son Joe in baseball.

Spending every weekend on the baseball field and traveling together, you get to know people pretty well. One thing I didn’t know about Mathews until a few years ago was her name. She was always “Mamaw Mathews” to me. And she is like a mamaw to everyone she meets.

Mathews is an energetic, young-at-heart person who spreads love and kind words wherever she goes. One of her favorite places to drop in is the kindergarten classroom at Brickey-McCloud Elementary where her granddaughter Kara Israel is a teacher.

She and her husband, Clay, began volunteering in Israel’s classroom eight years ago and after a few visits they “were hooked.”

Clay enjoyed working oneon-one with students, and Jimmie quickly became

“She treats all of them as her own grandchildren and they truly love her.” Mathews’ weekly visits to the classroom are valuable not only to Israel but to the children, too. “Some don’t have a mamaw, and to see her each week is beneficial. Her visits are consistent and they know that she really cares Kara Mathews Israel and her grandmother, Jimmie Mathews. about them.”

When Clay passed away, Kara received many notes from former students expressing how much her grandparents meant to their own children. And these children are a more important part of Mathews’ life now. She volunteers at least once a week and stops by more often when special occasions arise.

If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Jimmie Mathews, you know the love and care that she shows to everyone she meets.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Learn to manage your diabetes If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes, you may be overwhelmed with information.

Taking care of your diabetes does make a difference! You will not only feel better, but good blood sugar control can help delay and even prevent the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage.

Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Diabetes affects 25.8 million Americans, or 8.3 percent of the population. Most people with diabetes, about 90 to 95 percent, have Type 2. Obesity and lack of physical exercise are two of the most common causes of Type 2 diabetes, although not everyone with the disease is overweight.

At the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center, a team of certified diabetes educators work with each client to develop a lifestyle plan. “We provide the patient with an individualized meal plan, food preferences and a weight goal,” explains Lucy Deatherage of the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center. “We give people the tools to manage their diabetes,” says Deatherage.

A series of classes that contain

The Fort Sanders Diabetes Center is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for Quality Self-Management Education.

The Fort Sanders Diabetes Center is located off Kingston Pike in the Fort Sanders West Medical complex. Satellite offices are also located in Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Sevierville and at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, provide coverage for diabetes education.

Start moving and control diabetes and after exercise. If your blood sugar level is either too low or too high before you begin to exercise, it is best to wait until your level improves. It is also very important to monitor your blood glucose when you exercise in unusually hot or cold conditions, since temperature changes affect how your body absorbs insulin.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, usually occurs slowly, so when you exercise, it’s important to pay attention to how you are feeling. If you feel shaky, anxious, sweat more than usual or have a change in your heartbeat, you should stop exercising and do what your health provider advises to treat low blood sugar.

It is a good idea to Ask your physician eat a small snack, such what types of exercise are safe ibility, such as gentle stretching as a piece of fruit, before exercisfor you.

Being active is a great way to help control diabetes. Exercise helps lower your blood sugar. During physical activity, your body uses insulin much more efficiently than it does at rest.

Exercise also helps you lose weight. Being overweight makes it harder for your cells to use insulin and can lead to a condition called insulin resistance. Shedding extra pounds can help you control your glucose levels and avoid other health problems, such as heart disease, osteoarthritis and hypertension.

What kind of activity is best for me?

Should I take any safety measures?

Know your type: Diabetes differs Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is not preventable and is usually diagnosed before age 40.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body isn’t producing enough insulin or the insulin is not efficiently moving sugar out of the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity. Diet, exercise, weight loss and sometimes medications are the treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Approximately 85 percent of all diabetes patients have Type 2.

Gestational diabetes occurs in about 4 percent of pregnancies. It usually disappears after childbirth.

Gestational diabetes can often be contr trolled with dietary changes, but may require glucoseb moderating medications or insulin. If untreated, gestational diabetes can harm both mother and baby.

Talk with your doctor to learn more about your diale betes type and what treatment bete is best for f you.

The Carriage House When I think of a barn, I think rustic, but not necessarily elegant.

Well, I thought wrong. If a barn can be elegant, The Carriage House certainly is. Located in Loudon, this barn’s purpose is a bit different than most.

The barn was built in 1997 and was used as a gentlemen’s equine facility.

Eight years ago, local physicians Kathleen and Meade Edmunds purchased the barn. They completely renovated the barn three years ago.

The Carriage House is part of Castleton Farms. It is now used as a facility for

The idea of using drapes for the barn entrance helps create a cozy and romantic feel. For some barn weddings, hay bales have been used as seats for the guests. Barrels can be made into table tops.

Daisy needs a home!

The backstage elevator at the Tennessee Theatre has seen some unusual activity lately. Normally, it’s used to lift the nine-foot Steinway grand piano onto the stage for Knoxville Symphony performances.

This week, it’s a barn.

Marley and Callie, two horses from John Niceley’s Strong Stock Farm off of Rutledge Pike, have been cooling their heels there between acts of Knoxville Opera’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s “The Girl of the Golden West.”

And, yes, in answer to the question posed by this column last week, there have been several “emissions,” both in the KOC rehearsal space on Depot Street and onstage at the Tennessee Theatre. But the Niceley family and their assistants, old hands at this kind of thing, are always ready with the broom and scoop. And honestly, aren’t there a lot of worse smells? There’s nothing wrong with a little robust barnyard atmosphere.

During their first time onstage, the horses were slightly put off by the cramped quarters and the loud cap-gun shots. Callie at one point decided she’d just rather not go on, and there seemed to be nothing that soprano Carter Scott could do to make her change her mind.

Marley, on the other hand, simply does not enjoy music.

“If you know him, you can tell he’s upset,” says John’s son, George Niceley.

“You can tell if a person is aggravated by looking into his eyes, and it’s the same

Carol’s Critter Corner with a horse. Marley is just not much of a music fan.”

Good thing John Niceley is there to keep things running smoothly.

“He’s the ultimate horse whisperer,” says Knoxville Opera Company production manager Don Townsend.

“I’ve done two ‘Aida’s and one ‘Pagliacci’ with him, and in my opinion he’s the best in the area.”

By the time you read this, the big show will be over, but we can safely assume that all went well with the performances.

In other horsy news, STAR (Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding), located in Lenoir City, is looking for volunteers to help special needs children and adults with therapeutic riding lessons. Training for ages 13 and up will take place 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, and ages 10 - 12 will train from 5-7 p.m.

Monday, Feb. 25. No horse experience is necessary. It’s a good chance for you and/ or your child to enjoy the company of these beautiful animals and help out some folks at the same time. Info: Melissa, 988-4711, or visit www.rideatstar.org.
