By Libby Morgan Knox County Schools finally has the money to get 10 Shannondale Elementary School teachers and their classes out of the aged portables and into real classrooms, according to Doug Dillingham, the Dillingham school system’s facilities and construction supervisor. “Through excess tax collection, we were able to get $14 million to improve and expand Shannondale,” says Dillingham. “We are on the April 8 and 10 agendas to present the plan to the school board for final approval, the bidding is planned for June, and the construction contract should be finalized by the beginning of the school year.” Dillingham, architect David Collins and principal Jack Nealy spoke at last week’s PTO meeting and unveiled an unofficial version of the plan, showing 16 new classrooms, student and teacher restrooms added Collins to the back of the school, and a large media center (aka school library) on the north side. A bump-out to expand the cafeteria is planned on the lower level at the front.

No rate increase at HPUD, public meeting set Bob Crye and Todd Cook had requested a hard look at the upcoming budget, so all should be pleased. A recent bond refinancing enabled savings that made an increase unnecessary, Cardwell said. Julian said a small increase was scheduled, but “a lot of work by a lot of people” made it possible to hold the rates steady. And Crye called it “a great first step” in the board’s se arch to contain costs.

“The media center and an elevator are “additional work to be proposed.” A new media center will free up two more classrooms that are now being used for that purpose. “Construction costs could be afNealy fected by unforeseen factors, such as when Hurricane Katrina drove prices up, but hopefully we will have a good bid environment and the prices will allow our additional proposals,” said Dillingham. “The number of students in the Shannondale school zone keeps growing. This expansion will relieve the situation now and prepare for more students in the near future.” Collins, who grew up in Fountain City, said, “The additions are planned to avoid disrupting ongoing classes. The position of the new construction is on empty space, and the existing classrooms will not be affected. “We have an aggressive time schedule. We plan to get this built in a year,” he said.

Halls grad releases first novel Call it fate, call it what you will, but there never was much doubt that Beverly “Belle” Blackburn was going to write a book.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS One of her English teachers at Halls High, Elizabeth Blynton, even wrote in Blackburn’s annual: “I’ll be looking for your first novel.” If you’re out there, Ms. Blynton, that novel is here. Set in Civil War-era Nashville, “The Doctor’s Daughter: Journey to Justice” is the story of a woman who sets out to prove that her father’s suicide was a good, old-fashioned murder.

Beverly “Belle” Blackburn Photo submitted

And Blackburn creatively uses a teaser technique straight out of “Columbo.” The prologue is an imagined newspaper snippet from what was then called the Nashville Republican Banner. It describes the suicide, as supposedly witnessed by James Rayburn and his wife, adding that Brian Seaver then stumbles outside to die in his daughter Kate’s arms. Off it goes from there. The book is filled with humor (one man pops up at his own funeral), colorful characters and local history. Although Blackburn says she didn’t want to load up the novel with history, her story includes a few real people, much about antebellum medicine and even the timeline’s corresponding phases of the moon. She used eyewitness accounts to help describe the military occupation of Nashville, adding that she doesn’t think most people realize the huge role that Tennessee played during the war. Other real characters include former Tennessee governor and future president Andrew Johnson, and Dr. John Edgar, a charismatic minister that Blackburn says was “the Brad Pitt of his day. “All the women wanted him and all the men wanted to be like him.” And she admits that some of the characters are inspired by people she’s met. But she’s not telling who’s who. She

“The Doctor’s Daughter”

also includes a few actual blurbs from the Nashville Banner along the way. Blackburn, who graduated from Halls High in 1974, says “writing was something I had planned to do my whole life.” But, she moved to Middle Tennessee in 1975, earned an accounting degree, got married and raised a family. “But my husband encouraged me. He kept saying, ‘you’ve got to write, you’ve got to write.’” The impetus for the novel came from a conversation between Blackburn and her husband in the 1980s about suicide and murder during the 1860s and what methods might have been available to tell the difference if it wasn’t obvious. “So the story percolated in the back of my mind.” The book took nine months to write. She tried to find a publisher, got tired of hearing “we really like it, but we can’t sell it,” and decided to self-publish. She says the writing was the fun part. Marketing it, though, isn’t exactly her bag. “I thought I’d put it out there and see what happens. The reviews have been very kind.” Blackburn’s roots stretch into Dandridge and Campbell County. She grew up in Inskip and attended Central High before coming to Halls in 1971. Her parents died shortly after she left for Nashville, but her daughter now attends UT and goes to church not too far from where Blackburn grew up.

“It’s like we’ve come full circle.” “The Doctor’s Daughter: Journey to Justice” is available for $2.99 digital download and for $19.99 (paperback) at Amazon.com. Read Jake Mabe’s full review of the book at his daily blog, jakemabe.blogspot. com. ■

HHS drama to present ‘Puss in Boots’

Nita Buell Black reports that Halls High drama students under the direction of Kim Hurst will present “Puss in Boots” April 11 and April 13 at the Powell Playhouse. “This play promises to be one of the highlights of the presentations of the Playhouse,” Black says. “You will want to bring your children and grandchildren and see the play yourself!” The play is adapted by renowned playwright Max Bush. “The plot deals with the question of “can a poor miller’s son with nothing on his mind except his next meal win a fortune, a title and the hand of a beautiful princess? “With the help of a bold, enterprising cat, a pair of boots and a clever, imaginative playwright, the answer is yes! Funny and fast-paced, this ‘Puss in Boots’ remains faithful to the qualities that have made the fable popular over many generations - an inventive wit and a sense of the magical possibilities of

the relationships between humans and beasts.” A buffet dinner (menu to be published later) will be offered at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 11, with the play to follow at 7:30. Advance tickets must be purchased by April 8 for the dinner and play. Cost is $25 per person; send a check payable to Powell Playhouse, P.O. Box 205, Powell, TN 37849. Call Mona at 947-7428 for reservations. Tickets for the play only are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Tickets for the 3 p.m. matinee Saturday, April 13, and the 7:30 p.m. performance will be sold at the door. Groups may reserve seating through Mona at 9477428. No advance tickets will be sold for the Saturday performances. The matinee is $5 for both seniors and children under 12; adult tickets are $10. ■

An open letter to Officer Lyon By Libby Morgan To Officer Keith Lyon: Not enough people took advantage of hearing the valuable information you presented at the Tatewood Neighborhood Watch meeting last week. The few of us who did, though, were impressed with your genuine concern and your ready advice. I guess I expected an overworked cop, late in the day, forced to do a boring job listening to the same old questions and giving the same old tired answers concerning the same old petty crimes you see constantly. Lyon Au contraire – you engaged the 20-or-so of us, listening patiently to each concern in turn, giving nary a hint of a yawn in your spiffy uniform with your friendly and professional demeanor. It’s no wonder your department chose you for this position. I will recommend to anyone who ever mentions a concern about theft or scams in their neighborhood to take your advice to heart: You told us our neighborhood group is ours. It’s up to us to communicate with each other. You congratulated us for getting our group together so quickly. (Sadly, we were motivated by some thievery done to a new resident, two back-to-back bold break-ins that happened, thankfully, when the young couple wasn’t home. But I like to think a big part of that motivation came from a desire of our neighbors wanting to connect, to meet each other, to know with whom we are sharing our community.) You said if something doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t. You told us an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, relating that statement to stories about reporting suspicious activity, even if it turns out we are mistaken. You said we will never know if our actions prevented a crime. You encouraged us to call the non-emergency police number, 215-4010, or 911 with any concerns or suspicions. You even said that if we can’t decide if our situation warrants a call to 911, then go ahead and use the emergency number. You assured us that if we have a valid concern, we won’t get in trouble for using 911. A tip none of us knew was that we can text 911, too. Yet another clever tip you shared was letting us know how sensitive the microphones on your end can be, and told us how, in certain instances, we could dial 911 and lay down the phone, giving the emergency call room an open listening device without tipping off a culprit in the act of a crime. You told us to be especially suspicious if a person comes knocking on our door and asks for someone by name, and you don’t have anyone by that name; it is a ruse, simply to ascertain whether the house is empty and ripe for burglary. We were all very glad to have you as a new friend, Officer Lyon, and we thank you for the nifty Neighborhood Watch signs. We will display them, and we will remember your advice. Yours, Tatewood Neighbors

government The closing of Fort Kid Fort Kid looks destined to close but the actual date is uncertain. Twenty-two years ago from April 3-7, 1991, the Fort was constructed with over 12,000 pennies collected from Knox County children and manual labor contributed by hundreds of citizens continuously over a 5-day period. Those children are now in their late twenties or early thirties. Led by West Knoxville civic activist Beth Waters, it was a Herculean effort to celebrate the city’s Bicentennial with a lasting legacy. And it has lasted almost 22 years. However, city spokesperson Jesse Mayshark says that “The playground at Fort Kid is being phased out, with the aim of turning that property into public green space. As pieces of equipment become unsafe, they are being removed and decommissioned.” Money has not yet been made available to do this.” The co-ordinating committee which led the effort was composed of Waters plus Bruce Bosse, Wes Stowers, Karen Robinson, Randy Massey and Nancy Prosser. Helping in the campaign was the finance chair, Bill Haslam, then a young Knoxville businessman, along with Larry Martin, who then led First Tennessee Bank which collected all the pennies. Fort Kid is located across from the Knoxville Museum of Art near the Victorian Houses at the World’s Fair Park. When I dropped by to visit, most of the playground equipment was still there. While it was showing age, there was no notice that the equipment is unsafe or that it was not open for people to use. The plaque identifying the various groups who gave to its creation is still there. The Public Building Authority does the dayto-day maintenance, but it is owned by the city. Apparently there has not been a meeting with the public to determine how to

Victor Ashe

handle Fort Kid. Since it was created by private efforts and labor, it seems logical to consult with those who placed it there 22 years ago and determine the best way forward. Beth Waters handles a maintenance fund for Fort Kid, created in 1991, which has grown considerably over the past two decades, which could be used for the Fort. ■ State Rep. Ryan Haynes is hosting a fundraiser for state Sen. Jim Tracy who is running against embattled incumbent Republican Scott DesJarlais in the 4th congressional district. The event will be at the home of Wes Stowers on Inlet Drive in West Knox County on March 28. ■ Allen Borden, former Director of Economic Development for Knoxville in the first part of the Ashe Administration is now assistant commissioner of Economic and Community Development for the Haslam Administration in Nashville. ■ Brooks Brothers Store at West Town Mall will close after its last day on March 25 as its space is being leased to another tenant. There are no plans to open another Brooks Brothers store in Knoxville. ■ TVA will argue Tuesday, March 12, in federal court before Judge Tena Campbell to have the current lawsuit challenging TVA’s dress code dismissed. Hearing is at 4 p.m. at the Howard Baker Federal Building and is open to the public. One would think TVA would have better issues to spend money on than how people dress at its public hearings. Of all the issues facing TVA, this would seem to be among the most insignificant.

The best day of his life Sam Hardman is wise, even for his 94 years, and although his body is wearing out, his mind is as sharp as ever and his spirit is indomitable. Nicknamed “Uncle Sam” by his Halls nephew David Sharp, Hardman was honored last week by HonorAir and Woodmen of the World at the Ben Atchley Veterans’ Home where he is mending following hospitalization. HonorAir named its student ambassador program for Hardman, and Woodmen of the World donated $1,200 to fund two student ambassadors. Gene Bayless, Halls guy and retired brigadier general with the Tennessee Army National Guard, stayed for lunch with his old friend. “This is the best day of my life,” said Hardman with a twinkle, “until tomorrow.”

Sandra Clark

Eddie Mannis, Knoxville’s deputy mayor and founder of the local HonorAir, saluted Hardman: “We could not think of anyone more deserving of this honor.” HonorAir takes veterans of World War II and Korea to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials built to honor their sacrifice. Each veteran is accompanied by a guardian. In October 2010, Mannis invited two students to serve as guardians. Since then, 15 students have served. It’s a life-changing experience for the kids.

‘Campfield gives me hope’ Last week’s meeting of the Boyd Cloud Democratic Club was proof that there’s no truth to the rumor that Knox County Democrats hold their meetings in a phone booth. The Democrats got booted out of their usual meeting room at Shoney’s by a bunch of bass fishermen, so they crowded into a small back dining hall and just kept coming. Late arrivals pulled up chairs outside

Betty Bean the folding room divider, and by the time Tennessee Democratic party chair Roy Herron got started with his speech, it was standing room only all the way back to the salad bar. Some 70 Democrats, in-

As “Uncle Sam” said last week: “Freedom is not free. Every generation has to do its part.” He said he was inspired by recent Halls High School graduate Tucker Hunley. “I sent him $50 when he graduated from high school because he was also an Eagle Scout, and he sent the check back with a note saying to donate it to HonorAir. I forwarded it right on to Eddie,” Hardman said. That donation helped launch the student ambassadorship program. Hardman went to Washington on HonorAir’s second trip. He said, “Eddie and I just hit it off.” Since then he’s become a champion for the program. He said he entered the Army “as a buck and came out as a technical sergeant.” His office experience kept him behind the lines, and he

has lived in Halls since returning home. There’s no better tribute to Sam’s optimism and vision than to send a kid to Washington with an aging veteran. Info: 859-9279 or HonorAir, c/o Prestige Cleaners, 7536 Taggart Lane, Knoxville 37938.

cluding elected officials, former candidates and high rollers like former state party chair Doug Horne and LaFollette lawyer David Dunaway turned out early on a cold Saturday morning to hear Herron lay down some smack talk. And Herron – lawyer, preacher and former state senator from Ned McWherter’s hometown of Dresden – called on all of those vocations when he delivered a “Why I am a Democrat” message that left the faithful pumped up and hopeful. The speech is pretty much a distillation of the guest column that’s run in the state’s largest daily newspapers in recent weeks, with the addition of an applause line

that came when he ment ione d a name that he hopes will inspire Democrat s to write checks and knock on Herron doors: “Stacey Campfield gives me hope every day.” He didn’t seem to be more than halfway kidding when he said he bases that hope on Campfield’s reputation as a tireless campaigner. That’s a game that Democrats can play, he said. “If the good folks of Knox County will elect him because he works hard, Democrats can be elected.”

Educators can’t ignore politics By Betty Bean The four scholars on the Graduate School of Education panel on charter schools and vouchers that met in the Relix Theatre last week really tried to stay out of the political realm, but current events like the bill flying through the General Assembly creating a nine-member board appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam and Speakers Ron Ramsey and Beth Harwell to be the final decider of appeals of charter school denials were impossible to ignore. (Repeat – a board appointed by Nashville politicians is going to have the authority to override the decisions of local school boards – no appeals and no new money.) The panel – Dr. Cara Moore, Dr. Scott Ellison, Dr. Autumn Tooms Cypres and Dr. Richard Allington – all made thought-provoking points. But Allington was especially pointed in his criticism of political interference in education and his suggestions for less political and

e h T e Se ne,

less costly solutions to societal problems. A llington (who has been Fien Dist ing uished Professor of Allington Educ at ion at the University of Florida; chair of the Department of Reading at the University at Albany, SUNY; past president of three national organizations; principal investigator on research projects funded by three federal agencies; and author of more than 150 articles and several books) called the notion that American schools are falling behind competitors in other places “the big myth that’s been perpetuated by corporate egos.” Allington said American schools take all students, including those with disabilities and those who will move into vocational fields, unlike schools in many other coun-

tries with which they are compared. “American schools have made more progress with fourth grade reading than any other nation in the world – moved up a half dozen spots. The comparisons are just not accurate – we attempt to educate everyone.” He acknowledged the gap between rich and poor as the most reliable predictor of academic success, and said that gap is growing despite vast sums of money having been spent on efforts to close it. He predicted that Race to the Top is unlikely to be any more successful. “We’ve had more federal interference in education than at any time in history.” He drew applause when he wondered why Tennessee teachers using mandated programs and not getting good evaluations aren’t suing. Then he cited the biggest problem schools face and suggested a strategy that is simple, relatively inexpensive and proven.

“High poverty schools generally have as much reading and math growth during the school year as other schools… but what happens is summer reading and math loss,” he said. “Poor kids lose two or three months reading growth while middle-class kids gain about a month in the summer – some more than that. Poor kids don’t read in the summer because they don’t own any books. Parents don’t have any money to buy books and available libraries are less likely to be child friendly.” The solution, he said, is giving elementary school students 12-15 free books at the end of the school year. The most troubling part of this research, he said, was facing the little kids in the control group who didn’t get books and wanted to know why. “I had to tell them it was George Bush’s fault,” he said. (Note: This was a joke.) Three years of distributing summer books largely eliminated the summer reading gap for a fraction of the cost of establishing a charter school.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • MARCH 11, 2013 • A-5

An architect’s architect HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin Labor Day, 1940. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had just begun his campaign for a third term. The President and his entourage were proceeding down Henley Street en route to Newfound Gap to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As they passed the Church Street United Methodist Church, the president remarked, “That is the most beautiful church I have ever seen.” Built in 1930, the church was designed by Charles I. Barber (1887-1962) in cooperation with John Russell Pope of New York in Gothic Revival style to emulate the early Gothic style of Durham Cathedral. Barber’s genius for design was stimulated early when he spent many hours visiting his father’s Gay Street firm, probably the largest in the state at the time. In 1900, George F. Barber (1854-1915) employed 30 drafters and 20 secretaries as he sold about 1,000 mail-order house plans a month, an estimated 20,000 between 1888 and 1913. Almost 50 George Barber homes are listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in several states from New York to Washington. Charles Irving Barber was born on Oct. 25, 1887, in DeKalb, Ill. and his family moved to Knoxville the following year. Charles’ early education was completed at the Baker-Himel Preparatory School (1889-1913) on Highland Avenue near the University of Tennessee. Along with the sons of many of Knoxville’s most prominent families, he studied classic Latin and Greek as well as English and math. The school had such a stellar reputation that

students were admitted to UT, the University of Virginia, Harvard and Yale without further examination. He attended UT briefly but then spent three months in Europe in 1907, mainly in Italy. The voyage had a dual purpose, to expand his artistic senses and to send back drawings of significant architecture there. Charles visited the great museums, stayed in elegant hotels, dined at exclusive restaurants and explored Italian villas and formal gardens. He came home with an appreciation for classic architecture that is reflected in some of Knoxville’s most beautiful churches, public buildings, schools and homes. In 1909, Barber enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and studied under the French-born architect Paul Cret, whose Beaux-Arts style would markedly influence Barber’s early work. In two years Barber received his Certificate of Proficiency in Architecture and returned to Knoxville to begin his first major work, the

Southern States Building for the 1913 National Conservation Exposition. During a brief partnership with Dean Parmelee, the son of his father’s one-time partner, Martin Parmelee, the First Christian Church (1914) was completed. Almost a century later, its presence just north of I-40’s downtown route gives it high visibility and tourists often comment on its classical beauty. It would be the first of some 50 churches Barber would design, including Knoxville’s Second Presbyterian, St. Luke’s Methodist, St. James Episcopal, Graystone Presbyterian, Church of the Ascension, Fountain City United Methodist, Gloria Dei Lutheran and Northside Christian churches. Benjamin McMurry and Charles Barber founded Barber and McMurry in 1915, a partnership that would last until McMurry’s passing in 1969. Barber concentrated on the artistic phases of the business and McMurry on the business itself. Charles’ cousin West Barber later joined the firm and became mainly responsible for interior design and working drawings. Much of the firm’s early work centered on houses built for affluent Knoxvillians on Kingston Pike and nearby. The homes of J. Allen Smith (1915), William Cary Ross (1921) and Alexander Bonnyman (1916) were among the first. One unique project was the totally redesigned 125room Whittle Springs Hotel and Resort (1917-18), built at a cost of $650,000. During the 1920s and 1930s, Barber and McMurry designed many additional homes, including those for Glen Craig (1926), Weston M.

The Barber Residence on Tazewell Pike. From 1926 to 1938, Charles and Marian L. Barber lived in this house in Fountain City. They then moved to Woodson Dr. off of Alcoa Highway. Photo courtesy of the C.M. McClung Historical Collection

Fulton (Westcliff, 1928) and H.M. Goforth (1928). Barber and McMurry homes showcased French and Italianate features, often with the indoors and the outdoors married by French doors opening onto terraces fronting formal gardens and pools. Unlike his father, who was decidedly flexible in his designs, Charles Barber was more likely to charm his clients into accepting his plans than he was to alter them. The firm also designed many of Knoxville’s most notable public buildings, including the showroom for the Candoro Marble Works (1923), the YMCA (1927), the Holston Hills Country Club (1927) and their lone high-rise, the 15-story General Building (1926) on Market Street, where they occupied an office for many years. Several buildings on UT’s “Hill” also show their distinctive style: Hoskins Library, Hesler Hall and Dabney Hall. With the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s, Barber, sometimes working with other architects, performed some of his most innovative designs. Working with Roland Wank and Louis Grandgent, TVA’s Norris Housing Project was designed and built. He also designed the headquarters for the Great Smoky Moun-

tains National Park (1940) and several buildings on the Arrowmont Campus in Gatlinburg. Long an advocate for city planning, Barber was a member of the Knox County Planning Commission when it was organized in 1940 and remained a member until the Metropolitan Planning Commission was established in 1956. He was also an advocate for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and was active in the GSM Hiking Club with his brother, George F. Barber, Harvey Broome, Carlos Campbell, Guy Frizzell, Dutch Roth, Jim Thompson and others. Not long after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, Charles Barber and Marian Lawrence were married. She passed away in 1950 and three years later he married a widow, the former Mrs. Blanche McKinney. From 1926 to 1938, the Lincolnesque, lanky, 6 foot, 4 inch architect could frequently be seen on the spacious lawn of his home on Tazewell Pike in the Beverly community with his trusty double-bladed axe pursuing a favorite hobby, clearing trees and brush. About 1938, the Barbers moved to their new home on Woodson Drive off Alcoa Highway, where they

had built a large stone house with a Barber trademark, i.e. a massive chimney conveying an air of permanence. Charles I. Barber had a severe heart attack in 1959 and suffered another two days before he passed away at UT Hospital on June 14, 1962. His services were held in Church Street United Methodist Church, his home church, which was built to his design many years before. He is interred in the family burial plat at Greenwood Cemetery near his beloved first home on Tazewell Pike. Following Charles Barber’s death, Barber and McMurry was reorganized under the leadership of Benjamin McMurry Jr. and in recent times under Robert Parrott and Charles V. Griffin. The firm continues to design many impressive projects, including the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center (1956), Rokeby Condominiums (1976), East Tennessee History Center (1985), John J. Duncan Federal Building (1988), the Knoxville Smokies Baseball Park (2000) and LeConte Medical Center (2010). It now goes by the name BarberMcMurry.

Does Tennessee football build character? Tennessee football will observe Parents’ Day on Saturday. Mothers, fathers, a few grandmothers and guardians of Volunteers are invited to a barbecue luncheon, a tour of facilities and a scrimmage at Neyland Stadium. The day may shape up much like a recruiting experience: See us. Like us. All join hands. A lot of coaches talk “football family.” I do believe Butch Jones believes it. Butch will undoubtedly provide perspective, telling guests that he is only the very serious caretaker of Tennessee football, responsible for almost everything, but that the game actually belongs to those more heavily invested, the team, old Vols and the thousands of fans who made it what it is. He may mention Tennessee tradition and being proud of the orange. Tra-

Marvin West

dition and pride are valid sales points. He is confident enough to admit that even the smartest coaches must have players to win. Because he is big on building relationships, Butch will praise the parents for producing stalwart young men, nurturing them and entrusting them to the University of Tennessee. He may repeat at least part of a previous speech: “We will be a champion in everything that we do. That’s not only on the field, but off the field. It starts in the classroom. It includes

graduating with a meaningful degree. It’s being a productive citizen, it’s being active in our community. “That’s what winning is about. I really believe that if you win off the field, you will win on the field. We will be a champion in all we do.” Or, perhaps he will recite the values emphasized in the invitation letter he sent parents: loyalty, commitment, family, honesty, accountability, focus and persistence. “These seven core values can guide your son throughout his entire life and enrich and reward his family life. Players, coaches and staff that live life the right way … and put forth great effort cannot be stopped short of success because they are too invested in making sure they cannot fail.” Jones’ mission of developing boys into men leads

me back to the very old question of whether football builds character or reveals it. The great Vince Lombardi once said football is a lot like real life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. Somebody else, maybe Tom Landry, said much of what he knew about morality and obligations came from football. You can certainly link the tough sport to discipline, the demand for extra effort and rewards for excellence. Football requires we be placed ahead of me. Trophies are modest pay for the proverbial blood, sweat and tears. Some stare down challenges and turn them into building blocks. Some might go as far as saying football provides the

opportunity to become a stronger and better person, even a leader. Those with a colder perspective insist football only reveals character. Winners go right on winning. Those with courage give all they have. Pressure ultimately exposes flaws. Losers get tired and too often fold when the outcome hangs in the balance. The late Darrell Royal put it this way: “Football doesn’t build character but it eliminates the weak ones.” Go another step: It occasionally identifies those who cheat to win. Of course football is imperfect. It looks the other way and permits success to grow into arrogance. Tennessee parents will see and hear what they want. They are counting on Tennessee football to help their sons become what they want to be and get where they want to go. Will it happen? What say you? Marvin West invites reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Trust steadily, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. (I Corinthians 13: 12-13 The Message)

A clergy friend of mine is generous enough to share his sermons via e-mail with people who don’t get to hear him preach regularly. He is a fine, thought-provoking preacher, who stirs up questions and occasionally stands clear on the other side of the text and peers back through it until

his listeners can see what he sees: something altogether new. Much like my friend, “The Message” helps us hear (and see) things we may have missed before. I’m quite sure you know the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, frequently called the

Orthodoxy (right belief), generosity to the poor, martyrdom, mountain-moving: Cross Currents none of them means a hill of beans without love, Paul Lynn declares. We are spiritually Hutton and morally bankrupt if we don’t love. And then, hear what “The “Love Chapter.” It is read at Message” does with the next weddings, and occasionally words of Paul. This modern at funerals, but sometimes I rendering of the text dethink it suffers from overuse: scribes love in words we can we cease to hear its mean- understand: ing. We hear the beautiful words, the soaring phrases “Love never gives up. (the apostle Paul was quite Love cares more for a wordsmith!), but we fail to others than for self. appropriate it, to “get it.” Love doesn’t want what Love is a word we throw it doesn’t have. around with ease (e.g., “I Love doesn’t strut, love rutabagas!”), but Paul Doesn’t have a swelled head, ups the ante considerably.

Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always ‘me first,’ Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others. Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the f lowering of truth, Puts up with anything¸ Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.” It is a tall, tall order. But what a world we could have, if only we could “trust steadily, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly!”

News from SOS For four years Vine Middle has received failing grades in math, reading and language arts on the Tennessee Department of Education Report Card. In late January, Superintendent Jim McIntyre met with about 150 parents, teachers, administrative staff, students, community members, and public officials to discuss the school’s future. Attendees’ comments included: A YWCA worker said more than half the children who participate in YWCA programs have one incarcerated parent. School becomes a lower priority. Historically the neighborhood has been treated as a problem. People there are trying to survive. Most parents can’t be home after school gets out. Children need afterschool programs. Police harass people in the neighborhood during the day and leave them unprotected at night. People want to feel safe and relaxed in their neighborhood, but police make them feel threatened. Children are transferred involuntarily to Vine for behavioral problems. A parent said her son was transferred to Vine from Northwest Middle because he had gotten into trouble at school. A teacher said she was overwhelmed because student needs were beyond her ability to help. School reconstitution has been approved.

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.

Sing to Shatter the Silence

faith

By Cindy Taylor A church singing can be a wonderful time for a community to come together for entertainment and spiritual uplifting. On March 15 Clear Springs Baptist Church will host a singing that could benefit children in Union County for years to come. Jeanne Collins, COO/ Victim Advocate for the Union County Children’s Center, facilitates a fundraiser for Child Abuse Awareness month each year. This year she wanted to do something a bit different, and Sing to Shatter the Silence was born. “We wanted to increase awareness about child abuse in the community,” said Collins. “A singing is a good opportunity to get people together and let them know they can make a difference.” Collins said continued decreases in funding mean the center needs to explore every avenue to get word out about the prevalence of child abuse in our communities and children who are caught in that nightmare. “This singing gives peo-

‘Do what makes sense’ Taylor is Halls Middle teacher of the year By Jake Mabe

Halls High students outside the Tennova Cancer Center are Makenzie Mears, Breanna Whitson, Kassie Wallace, Elise Brantley, Frankie Jean Paul and Sydney Tatum. Mears and Tatum will attend Carson-Newman University in the fall to major in Family and Consumer Sciences Education. Photo submitted

Reaching out to cancer patients Halls High students in FCCLA (Family, Career Community Leaders of America) recently completed a community service project and three of the students – Frankie Paul, Elise Brantley and Sydney Tatum – will be competing at Carson-Newman College for a regional competition in March called Star Events. The group will deliver a nine-minute presentation on the project and hope to qualify for state competi-

tion in April. For the project, students made pillows in the shape of hearts for women who have had a mastectomy to help ease pain from the procedure. After they made almost 30 pillows, they delivered them to Tennova North to the cancer center to be handed out to breast cancer patients as a symbol of hope. The mission of the FCCLA is to promote personal growth and leadership de-

velopment through Human Services/Education and Training/Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications Career Clusters. Through the organization, they focus on the multiple roles of a family member, wage earner and community leader. Members develop skills for life through character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communications, practical knowledge and career preparation.

Scott Taylor is a rare breed among teachers these days. He’s spent his entire career – 27 years – at one school. And he says that despite what you might hear, the kids he teaches today at Halls Middle School aren’t much different from the ones he taught in the mid-1980s. “They haven’t changed that much. In fact, (at one time) it was more common that they would get in trouble for smoking or drinking. They may be doing things I don’t know about, but the kids are basically the same. We expect more out of them. I’m afraid we’ve raised the bar so high that some get frustrated. But, for some, it’s a good thing.” Taylor was chosen by his colleagues to be the school’s teacher of the year. “It means I’ve been around awhile,” he joked. “But we’ve got a great staff here. I appreciate it. It’s good to be appreciated.” Taylor studied music at UT and wanted to be a professional horn player. He was a member of the Pride of the Southland Band under its legendary former director Dr. W.J. Julian. But he says playing a horn in an orchestra “went from being fun to being a job.” He discovered

Halls Middle School 8th-grade math teacher Scott Taylor is the school’s 2013 Teacher of the Year. Photo by Jake Mabe a talent for math and combined that with the fact he loved to coach kids at Inskip ballpark. Teaching seemed to be a logical path to take. He was hired by former Halls Middle principals James Ivey and Paul Williams in 1986. “And I’m proud of that. They had a love for this school and a love for this community and that’s a special connection you don’t always get.” He’s taught 7th- or 8thgrade math his entire career and especially has enjoyed teaching the 8th-grade algebra class for the last few years. “That was a great move. They are the cream of the crop.” Taylor is now teaching

children of his former students. He lives in the community and says he’s given an important charge. “I teach my neighbors’ children. I want them to do well. I realize these parents are entrusting me to take care of the most important things in their lives and I take that very seriously.” He says a teacher’s greatest reward is seeing former students live successful lives. He mentioned a few, Halls Home Federal Bank branch manager Patrick Abbott, teacher and Central High football coach Joe Hassell, orthodontist Andy Turner and Halls High senior Daniel Del Moro, who was selected as a member of the 2013 U.S. Army All American Band. “That’s what keeps me going. That’s the biggest thrill for a teacher. ” He’s not sure when he will retire. Taylor says he’ll have a few options in three years. Now, he’s content to keep going, working on outdoor projects at home in the summer and trying to beat his buddy and colleague Bill Warren on the golf course. He didn’t verbalize a specific teaching philosophy, but perhaps it can best be captured in the tagline of Scott Taylor’s emails: “Do what makes sense.”

League champions crowned The Halls 6U basketball team was recently named league champions and includes team members: (front) Lucas Duncan, Charles Hickman, Grayson Bishop; (back) coach Dustin Young, Noah Drake, Jackson Pearce, coach Jake Bishop, Dayde Young, Ethan Heath and coach Tommy Heath.

Students read across America Students in the horticulture and child care programs at Halls High/North Knox CTE rolled out the red hats, white gloves and red bow-ties for the read-in to kick off the Read across America Day on March 1. Students participating in the event are: (front) Trevor Holloway, Ethan Voiles, Makayla Bridges, Michael Jaymes, Sophia Norsworthy, Gracie Roberts, Ricky Moran, Paul Morgan, Brittany King; (back) Sarah Norris, Shelby Day, Marisol Mercado, Billie Morris, Ben Buhl and Summer Bennett. Mike Blankenship and Denise Edmonds’ classes provided an Academy Award-winning presentation. Each student grabbed their Cat in the Hat attire and read to the young participants in the child care program. This year, FFA and FCCLA class members combined and read from Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back” with a selected youth reader. FFA and FCCLA are asking children and their parents to read for 20 minutes each day. That’s a daily total of 100 minutes focused on developing good reading skills during the week. Photo submitted

Preserving the Tennessee Theatre By Pam Fansler In honor of the Tennessee Theatre’s 85th anniversary, the Historic Ten ne s see Theatre Foundation has l a u n c h ed Fansler a sustainability campaign to ensure the maintenance and preservation of the historic building in perpetuity without additional annual fundraising. Located in the heart of downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee Theatre opened in 1928 as a movie palace. The Tennessee Theatre is the Ofﬁcial State Theatre

of Tennessee and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Knoxville community raised more than $25 million to restore the theatre, transforming it from a rundown movie house into a state-of-the-art performing arts center. Today, the Tennessee Theatre is the region’s leading performing arts center with advanced technology, staging and lighting that draws top entertainment. Since the restoration’s completion in 2005, the Historic Tennessee Theatre Foundation has been tasked with ensuring the theatre remains in pristine condition and a vibrant, world-class entertainment venue. This year, the theatre

Powell Vacuum • 7225 Clinton Hwy • Powell • 938-5070

celebrates its 85th anniversary and marks its one millionth visitor to the theatre since the restoration. These one million guests in the Tennessee Theatre have also patronized downtown restaurants and shops before and after the performances. With this significant economic impact, the Tennessee Theatre has led the way for the resurgence of downtown Knoxville. The sustainability campaign has two main goals: to ensure high-quality, stimulating arts and cultural programming remains at the theater, and to maintain the beautiful, historic theater building for generations to come. The sustainability fund

will ensure the theater has sufficient funds for operation of its annual arts enrichment programs and for updates and emergency repairs. Stars on Stage, a recent fundraiser presented by the Foundation, featured comedy legend Bob Newhart, who delivered a stellar performance to a packed house. Proceeds from this year’s Stars on Stage will go toward the sustainability campaign goal of $5 million, nearly $4 million of which was raised before the event. The Tennessee Theatre belongs to all of us. Our support of it will ensure that the performing arts and cultural programming will have a place in the heart of downtown Knoxville for years to come. Pam Fansler is president, East Region, for First Tennessee Bank.

its upward trend. The month saw around $278.5 million loaned against real property in Knox County, compared to $233 million during the same period of 2012. There were two noteworthy commercial transactions recorded during February. One involved two tracts in West Knoxville, including the Fowler’s Building near I-40. The transfer of both tracts came in at $3.75 million. The other

transfer was for the Golden Corral property at 6612 Clinton Highway, which sold for $1.93 million. It is not certain what the remainder of 2013 will bring for the real estate market; however, January and February have deﬁnitely provided encouraging data. There were about 1,000 more total documents recorded by the Register’s ofﬁce this February than in February of 2012. If trends hold true, March could bring another surge as the warmer weather of spring helps stimulate activity.

Noweta marks 54th year By Cindy Taylor The March meeting of the Noweta Garden Club hailed its 54th year and mixed important business with just a bit of whimsy. The Orangery provided the venue, and club members enjoyed a delicious lunch during roundtable discussions of the

past year and upcoming events, along with talk about plants and flowers, of course. Outgoing president Marjorie Gardner expressed her gratitude to members who had made a difference in 2012. June Jennings, Regena Richardson, Wilma Shular and Carole Whited received

recognition and a special gift for attending every meeting in 2012. Gardner also had perfect attendance. Richardson was chosen by the members as the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding member. Gardner presented a special gift to each member for her work with the club. Founding member

JoAnne Hoffmeister attended and was recognized with gratitude. Richardson will hold the position of chaplain for the coming year and Gardner will take over as parliamentarian. The Noweta Garden Club is devoted to promoting beauty in Powell and surrounding areas. Ex-

Linda Warren at home playing a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accordion Photo by Cindy Taylor

Barefoot accordionist makes foothills home By Cindy Taylor When Linda Ann Warren brought her accordion from Memphis to Knoxville she also brought a smile that could melt the snow on Mount LeConte. That smile was first seen by a national audience when she was 16. Warren appeared for the first time on The Original Amateur Hour with fellow accordion player Tony Jordan and then again as a soloist at 17. Warren had already been playing for 10 years. At 15 she was teaching music to 55 students. Warren was known in her home town as the Memphis Belle and the barefoot accordionist. She played local and national shows, wrote music and won numerous awards and trophies for her talent. During 27 of those years she also worked for a bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother taught me that no matter what, you never quit your day job,â&#x20AC;? said Warren. Even though she loves her current view of the Smokies, the mountains werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what drew her to their foothills. Warren was

born and lived in Memphis until last September but her fondest childhood memories center on an old family homestead here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daddy moved from here to Memphis before I was born,â&#x20AC;? said Warren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walter Warren was his father. My grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm was my favorite place to come during summers as a child.â&#x20AC;? Warren still has family in the area, so when a house near the farm went on the market, she came â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? though she had never lived here. Warren once danced with Troy Donahue and dated Claude Akins. Her first boyfriend, Lewis Black, was the son of Bill Black, who played bass for Elvis during the early years. A sunburst hanging in her dining room had a match that once hung in Graceland. Like the sunburst, most items in her new home came with a story. Warren had barely settled in when the East TN Accordion Club asked to hold meetings at her house.

She is also offering private accordion and piano lessons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have 400 boxes to unpack but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going anywhere,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Since moving here she does try to take an occasional break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to sit on my porch, look at the mountains, read and rock,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just smile all the time. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love it here?â&#x20AC;? Some of Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s videos are on YouTube. Reach her at 922-8770 or linda.ann@ tds.net. She also has perfect pitch and can train birds to talk. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole other story.

Brighten up for Spring! Modern’s Millie Modern Supply's design consultant + remodeling expert

Nip That Drip! Drip. Drip. Drip. Did you know the average American household wastes more than 10,000 gallons of water each year from water leaks? Gee whiz! That’s enough water to wash nearly ten months of laundry according to the super smart folks at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Clean water is our most important resource. Without it, we would all bite the dust! To promote water awareness, the EPA has designated March 18-24, 2013 as Fix a Leak Week. It’s time to replace those drippy faucets and runny toilets with EPA WaterSense labeled products. Good for the environment and your bank account. Here are some mind blowin’ facts from the EPA: • 70% of the earth’s surface is water; less than 1% is suitable for human use • Each American uses an average of 100 gallons of water a day • Toilets account for 30% of indoor residential water use • Over your lifetime, you’ll likely flush the toilet nearly 140,000 times • A leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water a day • You can use up to 8 gallons of water while brushing your teeth • WaterSense products use 20-30% less water Even though WaterSense products— toilets, faucets and showerheads—use less water, you don’t sacrifice quality or water pressure. Manufacturers like Delta and American Standard have gone all techie and created products that use less water more efficiently. You won’t have to flush several times or be left with soapy hair! So, nip that drip 'cause every drop counts! Stop by Modern Supply, talk with our plumbing experts and take a look at some of the latest WaterSense labeled products. You’ll be WOW’d by the choices. 966.4567 BTW…tell ‘em Millie sent ya!

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Sleep Center helps man sleep easier In his professional life, Dave Gorden is a professional speaker and consultant who helps businesses develop better customer service habits. So when he’s a customer himself, Gorden appreciates good service above anything else, he says. Even a doctor’s visit. “Health care is like any other thing, we have choices,” said Gorden, who lives in Knoxville. “I believe someone that goes to a hospital is a consumer, and I’ve told physicians this. Maybe I’m a little more brazen than most, but it’s my money, and it’s my choice.” Recently, Gorden said he had an outstanding customer experience at the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. Gorden went to the center to manage his obstructive sleep apnea, a condition he was di-

agnosed with 14 years ago in another state. Sleep apnea is a condition in which the airway relaxes during sleep, causing excessive snoring and momentary lapses in breathing. Like most patients with the condition, Gorden sleeps in a special facemask connected to a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which forces air through a hose and into a facemask, keeping the airway open throughout the night. A CPAP machine has to be checked periodically, so Gorden called the Fort Sanders Sleep Center on a whim, because it was convenient. “I just called them up out of the blue,” he said. Gorden ﬁrst saw Dr. Thomas G. Higgins, a neurologist and sleep disorders physician. Higgins recommended another sleep study, a one-night stay

Catch more Zzzzzzzzs Insomnia is a common condition in which a person has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, it affects 1 in 3 adults occasionally, and 1 in 10 adults frequently. Odd work hours, long distance travel, stress, depression, certain medical conditions or medications, and a lack of exercise can all increase your risk for insomnia. Here are some tips to help you fall and stay asleep: ■ Avoid caffeine, tobacco and other stimulants at least eight hours before bedtime. Avoid alcohol as well. While it may make you sleepy, it tends to trigger light sleep. ■ Avoid medications that can disrupt sleep (some cold and allergy medications, for example). ■ Maintain good bedtime habits. Read a book, listen to soothing music or wind down by taking a warm bath. ■ Exercise early in the day, at least ﬁve or six hours before going to bed. ■ Don’t eat or drink before bed. ■ Don’t watch TV or work on a computer right before bedtime. ■ Make sure your bed is comfortable and the room is dark and quiet. ■ Have pets and children sleep elsewhere. If sleep difﬁculties continue, talk to your doctor about having a sleep study. An accurate diagnosis of your sleep problems can lead to proper treatment and a good night’s sleep.

Dave Gorden

while technicians monitored his breathing, heart rate and brain activity. “I had done that years ago so I wasn’t anxious,” said Gorden. “But everyone at Fort Sanders was very nice. They’re very professional and congenial. From the time I walked in, I felt like I was treated like a king. The center’s decorated like a bedroom, not a sterile hospital room. They have a ﬂat-screen TV, wallpaper – it’s very nice.” After several visits, Gorden is now set with a new CPAP machine and improved mask. “This new machine is smaller and has more features than my old one,” he said. “Finding the right mask took awhile too. They let me try four different mask styles until I found the right one for me. They really went out of their way to ﬁnd what worked.”

After his appointments, Gorden said he received a thank-you note from one of the staff members. “That blew me away! I rarely get a thank you for anything, and this was a hand-written card,” said Gorden. “I’ve been doing this for 14 years, but it was a new experience for me to receive this level of care. I was certainly impressed. They exceeded my expectation at every turn. “Now, I am a raving fan of the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center, and I mean that,” Gorden said. “I’ve been to three other sleep labs over the last 12 to 14 years, and I’ve never come away feeling better than the three times I’ve been to Dr. Higgins’ ofﬁce.” For more information on the services provided by the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorder Center, call 541-1375.

Snoring is NOT normal There’s never been a better time to get a good night’s rest, according to Scott Vogt, director of the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center. “With the latest in sleep disorder treatments, your sleep problems – especially loud snoring – can be cured,” says Vogt. “Snoring is not normal,” he explains. “Snoring happens because there’s something obstructing your airway at night.” Loud snoring is often caused by a common condition called obstructive sleep apnea. This is when a person’s airway relaxes during sleep and narrows. As the person tries to breathe, the air must squeeze through the narrow opening, causing the snoring rattle. If the airway closes completely, the patient will stop breathing for a second and gasp for air. This can happen hundreds of times each night, preventing the person from getting into a deep state of sleep. During the day, the sleep apnea sufferer often has headaches, mental distraction and fatigue. He or she is also at a higher risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke and even diabetes, Vogt says. “In the deeper stages of sleep, the brain releases chemicals to heal the body,” explains Vogt. “So when you’re constantly having sleep apnea events, the body doesn’t heal itself.” Fortunately, the treatment for sleep apnea is a simple one, and recent advances have made it easier than ever. The main treatment for sleep apnea is to sleep with a Continuous Positive Air-

Smaller, lighter CPAPS are designed for better patient comfort.

way Pressure (CPAP) machine, a bedside pump that delivers forced air through a mask and down the nose and mouth to keep the airway open and eliminate snoring. “The CPAP has been around a long time, but the machines have gotten a lot better in recent years,” says Vogt. “They’re smaller, and they look like bedside clock radios. We have patients who hike the Appalachian Trail with their CPAPs. They just take a little battery pack with them.” CPAP masks have also improved over time. “Using new materials has made the masks much smaller and lighter,” says Vogt. “They come in all kinds of colors and styles, too.”

Masks are even available with pink or camouflage colored headbands. Lighter tubing helps reduce the pull of the tube on the sleeper’s face. “It’s easier than ever to find one that’s comfortable for you, and that makes you want to use it more. If a patient won’t use the CPAP, it’s not doing them any good,” states Vogt. “It’s like having a bottle of medication and not taking the pills.” Some people may try several masks before they find the one that works for them, Vogt says. “It might take a few days to get the right one. We’ll get folks who say, ‘There’s no way I can wear this.’ But then once they feel the benefits, it’s almost instantaneous,” he says. And eliminating your snoring will usually benefit other family members as well, Vogt admits. “Our best referrals are spouses,” Vogt says with a laugh. “Most of the time, the CPAP helps two people at once because the snorer is keeping their spouse awake.” The Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Its tests and treatments are covered by most insurance plans. To get a better night’s sleep, call 865-541-1375 or go to www.fsregional.com/fssleepcenter.

Get Your Life Back Chronic sleep deprivation or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and unable to focus. It can also lead to serious health problems. The professionals at the nationally accredited Fort Sanders Regional Sleep Disorders Center can help you get a refreshing night’s sleep – and get your life back.

This barn is part of the Messer Farmstead located in the Greenbrier area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Photo by S. Carey

The Messer Farmstead revisited One of our readers wanted to share some additional information to a story featured in early January. David Whaley’s greatgrandfather built the cantilever barn that now is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Between 1884 and 1886, Whaley’s greatgrandfather Pinkney Henry Toomey Whaley and Joel Ownby bought approximately 5,000 acres from “Humpy” John Ownby and divided

Barnyard Tales Kathryn Woycik it in half. The barn was built by Pinkney. He also built a house and spring house. Large families were the

norm during that time period. The Whaleys were no exception. Pinkney’s family consisted of 20 children. One of them was Grandmother Phoebe. She had 15 children, one being David Whaley’s father. As Pinkney’s children grew up and married, he gave each of them part of his land to build their homesteads. In 1903, Pinkney sold his remaining parcel to John Messer and moved to Bradley County. The Smoky Mountain Hiking Club entered into a lease around 1930 with

the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They dismantled and moved Grandmother Phoebe’s cabin and barn, combining them into a single structure, which is known as the “hikers cabin.” Both were hewn and erected by James Whaley. The barn was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is the last surviving structure from the pre-park Greenbrier Cove community. Anyone wanting to share the age, history, or story of their barn can contact me at woycikK@ShopperNewsNow. com.
