Area schools get technology grant Corryton, Halls and Sterchi elementary schools, along with Holston Middle School, were among 11 schools selected to participate in Knox County Schools’ technology grant challenge. A total of 28 schools applied to have 1:1 technology (one iPad or tablet for each student and teacher). Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre announced the winners Friday, saying instructional technology in selected schools will give everyone a chance to see the initiative work “right in their own neighborhood.” The program will launch this fall. Others chosen are Bearden and South-Doyle high schools; Vine and West Valley middle schools; and Bonny Kate, Mooreland Heights and Norwood elementary schools.

Duncan praises community schools By Wendy Smith The U.S. Secretary of Education came to town last week, and he said a lot of nice things about Tennessee’s education reform efforts. We’ve come a long way, he said, and he’d like to see us continue that growth.

Analysis Arne Duncan’s specific recommendations for the state included expanding high-quality early learning and reversing steep cuts to higher education. He also said he’d like for teacher salaries to be radically increased. These suggestions were met with applause from those who can imagine that such big ticket items will get funded anytime soon. Duncan also praised a more affordable initiative that Knox County has already embraced – community schools. Community schools typically remain open long after the bell rings so students can get extra help in subjects like math and reading, participate in enrichment classes and eat dinner. Parents and other community members can enroll in GED or ESL classes, and some schools even offer health clinics, laundry facilities or help with taxes. Community schools, in essence, become community centers. Duncan served as Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools, and witnessed the profound impact of converting 150 Chicago schools to community schools. While academic enrichment for students was at the heart of the effort, parents flocked

to the schools to take advantage of learning opportunities. “I promise you, where families are learning together, and schools truly become the heart of the neighborhood, those children will be very, very successful,” Duncan said. Pond Gap Elementary School’s University-Assisted Community School program is currently in its third year. It has served as a pilot program for the county. Randy Boyd, founder of Radio Systems Corp. and special advisor for higher education to Gov. Bill Haslam, provided the bulk of funding for the Pond Gap program. After Duncan spoke, Boyd participated in a panel discussion where he reflected on increased parental involvement at Pond Gap. Among other things, the school now has a PTA. After some quick math, he es-

timated how much it would cost each Knox County resident to fund 15-20 more community schools – $14. The price is low because the concept relies heavily on nonprofits and volunteers. It’s an inexpensive solution to the conundrum of how to get parents physically into the school building. As Duncan said, parents of the most challenged students often failed academically themselves, and don’t have warm, fuzzy feelings about schools. It’s also a compassionate response to struggling families. Dr. Bob Kronick of UT’s College of Education, Health and Human Sciences has been working on the community school concept for 14 years. When asked to comment during the panel discussion, he said that students can’t learn if their basic needs

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • APRIL 8, 2013 • A-3

‘Blood, sweat and duct tape’ Call it a historic win. Call it amazing. Call it awesome. The Red Nation Robotics team scored a first-place alliance win with Oak Ridge High and Hardin Valley Academy at the FIRST Robotics Competition Smoky Mountain Regionals on March 28-30. They are the first rookie team in the Knox area to win at a regional competition. When interviewed in January, mentor and North Knox CTE teacher Morgan Everett was so excited he couldn’t talk straight. You should have seen him last week. And, he said, you should have seen the students after the win. “I’m on top of the world,” Everett said. “I have to (talk) slowly not to get too emotional.” U.S. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) sponsors the competition in which students build a robot, create a marketing plan, raise funds and compete as teams in heat matches during a game called Ultimate Ascent, which Everett described as “a combination of climbing and throwing a Frisbee.” Its purpose is to interest students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Students also were mentored by specialists in several fields, as well as by Everett and Halls High/North Knox teachers Carolynn Clemons, Erica Johnson and Thomas Pendleton. The team had set a victory condition: build a robot that is robust enough to make it through the competition and perform as designed. Blow that out of the water. “We thought we would have an offensive robot that would score a lot. That’s what our testing showed.

Lesley, Kevin and Kayla Cole brought their 1968 Dodge Charger “General Lee,” a replica of the car featured in the 1980s TV series, “The Dukes of Hazzard,” to the Halls Crossroads Car Show.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS And, as it turned out, what we did best was defense.” That proved to be a key to the win. The Halls robot “started getting in people’s way,” after the initial autonomous mode. The Hardin Valley and Oak Ridge teams recognized it and formed a winning alliance with Halls. “If it weren’t for Hardin Valley and Oak Ridge, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to finish in first place. “We had a freshman, Tristan Brock, who first picked up the controls the Wednesday (before competition) and proved to be a natural. With his driving and Bryan Sharpe’s quick programming and adjustments between rounds, we were successful.” But success belongs to the entire team Everett says, which also includes Terry Braasch, Wyatt Brown, Trey Byrge, Elizabeth Durfee, Amber Headrick, Kelsey Hephner, Shelby Lanz, Anthony Peters and McKenna Snyder. Everett adds that a couple of the team’s marketing members “did scouting and got their hands dirty with parts and did whatever we needed them to do” during the competition. “It was pretty crazy,” when the win was announced, said McKenna. “It was so loud and then it got mute again.” “Some were on the verge of tears,” Amber added. Trey says the team ini-

tially thought it “was disqualified for the whole thing,” rather than during the second match. “But we just kept going and it was a nail-biter. We didn’t know what was going to happen. Then, at the end, when we saw the score, we said, ‘Yes! We did it!’” “It was a lot of blood, sweat and duct tape” Everett said. “These kids gave up their spring break, weekends, evenings and crammed for homework in whatever spare time was left.” The team is preparing for the national competition April 24-27 in St. Louis. But Everett says the dividends will be long lasting for the students. “Whether you rank No. 1 or last, you gain a lifetime

worth of real-world, handson experience in one season of FIRST Robotics. We’ve run a small business. It’s a better experience than most college internships.” To sponsor the team, contact Everett at 922-7757 or email morgan.everett@ knoxschools.org.

tunity to highlight the jazz band, which performed at the event. “And it’s really been exactly what our school and Knox County (Schools) wants us to do: get involved with the community. We partner with Food City and it’s a great thing. A lot of former band members bring their cars back. “The Band Boosters do that event and it helps make being in band more (financially) doable for our students. We can get instruments for some of our students, but a lot of them have to get their own instruments.”

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “Is gum disease hereditary?” Answer: Research has confirmed that periodontal disease (gum disease) has at least a partial hereditary factor and some degree of familial tendency. Even so, periodontal disease is preventable with proper oral hygiene and regular professional care by one's dentist and dental hygienist. Those who have greater susceptibility to gum disease must be very diligent in using necessary oral hygiene methods at home in the manner demonstrated in the dental office. Although puffy and bleeding gums are often

symptoms of periodontal disease, some patients will have few symptoms while significant bone destruction is occurring below the surface of the gums. A fact that is surprising to many is that more adults in our population today suffer loss of teeth due to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. A visit to one's dentist for examination every six months is highly recommended. Questions for “Dental Answers” are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

government Dunns plan Knox visit Attending the dedication of the Ann Baker Furrow Boulevard at Sorority Village on the UT campus (next to Neyland Drive) this coming Saturday, April 13, at 1 p.m. will be the person who appointed Furrow to the UT Board of Trustees. That is former Gov. Winfield Dunn, 85, and his wife, Betty Dunn, who are coming from Nashville where they now live. Chancellor Jimmy Cheek will preside at a UT-sponsored, invitation-only luncheon preceding the event. Furrow was the first woman to serve on the UT board. The public is invited and sorority houses will be open for viewing after the dedication. ■ Anthony Hancock, who unsuccessfully opposed state Rep. Steve Hall, has picked up a petition to oppose City Council member Duane Grieve (West Knoxville). What had been a sleepy election may become more interesting, but Hancock will have to wage a more active campaign this year than he did against Hall to be a serious contender. Picking up a petition does not mean he will actually qualify, but it does mean he is thinking about it. Several city precincts were in the House district he contested last fall. His loss to Hall was not close. ■ Duane Grieve is popular, well-liked and an independent voice on the council. He opposed Mayor Rogero’s pension reform plan as not going far enough to resolve fiscal issues. He is a strong advocate for greenways and additional trees. Rogero backed Democratic nominee Hancock over Hall with a financial donation last year. She is not expected to support Hancock over Grieve this time around and is appearing at an April 13 neighborhood meeting for Grieve. (This writer was a donor to Grieve in his 2009 campaign and he was a donor to all my mayoral campaigns.) ■ Alice Sellew, 91, longtime Farragut resident, recently died. She was a dedicated Republican who did the floral arrangements at countless Lincoln Day dinners and other GOP events for more than 20 years. ■ State Rep. Gloria Johnson has recommended Knoxville attorney Tammy Kaousias as predicted by this writer a few weeks ago to replace another attorney, Dennis Francis, on the Knox County Election Commission.

Victor Ashe

The other Democrat is Cassandra McGee Stuart, recommended by Rep. Joe Armstrong. This will mark the first time in Knox history that two women have served at the same time on the Election Commission. Kaousias, who is an avid political supporter of Johnson, is the first Greek American to serve on the Commission. Johnson criticized the Commission in her campaign for closing Belle Morris school as a voting precinct and holding its meetings at 8 a.m. It will be interesting to see if Kaousias and Stuart raise these issues during their 2-year term, although the GOP majority will likely vote down any requested change. Each commissioner is paid $4,017 a year and Chris Heagerty receives $998 a year more since he is the chair, for a total of $5,015. However, the most significant benefit these five persons receive is free participation in the county health insurance plan which is valued at $10,000 a year – double their salary. In effect the salary is $14,000 a year with the chair making $15,000. It is unclear why this part-time job merits tax paid health insurance. In 2012 the Commission met nine times and this year they have met once in March and plan an April meeting to swear in the members and rehire Cliff Rodgers as administrator. ■ Barbara Monty, 81, is retiring from the CACmanaged Mobile Meals program which delivers, primarily through volunteers, countless meals to the needy.

Driving Mr. Ramsey The tasty roast beef dinner the Union County Republicans served up in the high school for Lincoln Day didn’t lure the driver out of the big, black SUV that sat idling in the parking lot. Presumably, he was maintaining a controlled climate while awaiting the return of the Senate Speaker/Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and his ride-along guest, state Sen. Frank Niceley, whom Ramsey had picked up in Strawberry Plains, making for a 260-mile round trip from Ramsey’s home in Bluff City (in Sullivan County) to Maynardville. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security provides security to both the Senate and the House speakers. Ramsey’s driver, Bill Taliaferro, is paid $38.71 per hour, while House Speaker

Betty Bean Beth Harwell’s driver makes $26.65 an hour. Both drivers are eligible for overtime and retirement benefits. Both speakers have 2011 Suburbans, but Nashville resident Harwell’s expenses are considerably less than Ramsey’s – $3,392 in gas and maintenance so far this year to Harwell’s $1,249 – because of his long commute. “The Lieutenant Governor and Speaker retain their responsibilities and title throughout the year and each is assigned security (state trooper) for protective services,” said Department of Safety spokesperson Kevin Crawford. The troop-

ers are paid per diem rates for lodging and meals when overnighting away from home. Taliaferro figured prominently in a 2007 Memphis Flyer story by Jackson Baker about the changes that accompanied the overthrow of longtime Democratic Speaker John Wilder. “The old order was changing, all right – from Democratic to Republican and from west to east. The phenomenon had been underscored earlier in the week, on the night after Ramsey’s election, when Bill Taliaferro, the state trooper who had been Wilder’s plainclothes driver for well over a decade, sat down with Ramsey to discuss the matter of continuing in that role. “As Speaker (Jimmy) Naifeh would note in reporting on the matter to a couple

of his House colleagues, that probably meant that Taliaferro would have to shift his own residence eastward to accommodate the new Speaker’s needs.” Sure enough, an Internet search shows William E. Taliaferro with a Blountville address. The most common justification for such practices involves pointing out that it’s nothing new. But Republicans used to rail against Democrats’ profligate spending when they were running the show in Nashville, so more than a touch of irony sets in at the sight of members of the tough-talking, budget-slashing new majority happily settled into the practices that they once deplored. And the sight of state employees driving state vehicles to tote politicians like Mr. Speaker around the state to purely partisan events is almost as disconcerting as realizing that they don’t give a damn what we think.

Understanding the Nashville GOP The headliner at last week’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Union County was U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, but Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey stole the show. Ramsey exuded power and confidence, and he was home from Nashville with a message to tell.

Sandra Clark

“Frank and I are kindred spirits,” he said of state Sen. Frank Niceley. “Every time I sit by Frank I learn something. For instance, you either get it or you don’t get it. And if you have to ask, well, you don’t get it.” Ramsey talked about the Republican Party’s rise to power. From the state’s founding in 1796, Tennessee’s top three posts were not

held by Republicans until 2012 when Gov. Bill Haslam joined Ramsey and House Speaker Beth Harwell. For most of those 216 years, the Democratic Party controlled all three positions. In that context, it’s easy to see why the GOP is out to mess with the status quo. “You don’t want to elect Republicans and have them start acting like Democrats,” Ramsey said. Niceley, for instance, wants citizens to vote for the school superintendent but not for nominees for U.S. Senate. Ramsey said the Republicans have “cut the food tax (although he thinks far enough since it’s ‘a tax everyone pays’), cut the death tax and passed two balanced budgets, each less than the year before.” Republicans have eliminated collective bargaining in education, made tenure something to be “earned, not automatic” and are pushing for school choice. Ramsey said today

Clark “400,000 law-abiding citizens can carry and keep a firearm in a locked car.” He called for a reduction of unemployment benefits saying, “Unemployment has become a lifestyle.” After a couple of jabs at Obamacare, it was easy to see why Haslam opted not to

fight Ramsey on expanding Medicaid. Shut out of power for 200 years and believing things are headed in the wrong direction, Republicans in Nashville are not just braking the bus. They’re standing on the brakes and singing “Dixie.”

Emory Place and Central Market HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin My fond memories of attending Sunday school at First Christian Church on the periphery of Emory Place include that interval between Sunday school and the church service, when William G. Fox (1861-1936) reached in his suit coat pocket, retrieved a stick of Walla Walla chewing gum and delivered a tasty treat to each of the children lined up before him. Fox was a senior elder of the church and treasurer of the building campaign. But through the week he was treasurer of the Walla Walla Chewing Gum Company. The company was the anchor business in the Central Market, later to be called Emory Place. According to the American Journal of Commerce (1903), W.D. Biddle established the firm on March 2, 1897, in small quarters with only five employees. Surely even William Wrigley, Chicago’s chewing gum king, would have been proud of the growth of the company, which at its height had 4050 employees producing 1,200 sticks of chewing gum each minute, some two tons each day. Until 1915, Walla Walla occupied Nos. 8 and 10 Central Market, with each 25x100-foot building consisting of four floors, equipped with steam power and up-to-date machinery. Walla Walla became the largest company of its kind in the South, and its product was marketed in 42 states by eight traveling salespeople. The company moved to 511-14 State St. and in 1950, prominent former UT athlete and business owner Herman D. “Breezy” Wynn bought the company, planning to expand it to 60 employees. Central Market first appears in the 1889 city directory, when there were 33 stalls housed in a frame structure on a wide spur of Fourth Avenue, with the City Scales on the west end and Fire Engine House No. 1 in a brick building on the east end. Old Gray Cemetery, founded in 1850, was just across Broadway from the market on the southwest corner of Holston Street (now Tyson). The downtown terminal for the Fountain Head Railway Company (“The Dummy Line”) was located on the northwest corner of that street. Early tenants in the Central Market included Thomas Owens’ fish market, Jacob Croissant’s meat market and Austin Plummer’s produce company. Others like the Knox Candy Company would come and go, with Ebenezer Kelley and Strother Lynn, Grocers, lasting for several years. The original Market House, located a mile away on Market Square, had been built in 1854 and expanded in 1897. Perhaps that expansion was the impetus for Central Market’s transition about the turn of the last century from small markets to larger factory-like businesses and more substantial brick buildings. When “Market” no longer described its mission, the powers that be sought another name. The New Market Train Wreck of Sept. 24, 1904, was on everyone’s mind. Two Southern Railway passenger trains traveling at high speeds had collided head-on in the worst transportation disaster in area history. It was first announced that there were 56 killed and 106 injured but the toll grew as some of the

injured died and as more facts emerged. Perhaps the best-known casualty was 74-year old the Rev. Isaac Emory who, after funeral services at Second Presbyterian Church, was interred in Old Gray Cemetery with a footstone reading “The Children’s Friend.” Born in 1830, the Rev. Emory, a native of Fulton, N.Y., graduated from Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati and became a missionary for the American

Sunday School Union. He arrived in Knoxville in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. Knoxville had a population of 7,000 at the time and only a few of its churches had Sunday schools. The Rev. Emory soon succeeded in establishing 26 of them locally, from which several churches grew. Traveling by buggy, train and steamboat, he canvassed Chattanooga and Nashville, and established many more. But, over the years, his major progress was in “backwoods” areas where he started Sunday schools in which the membership eventually totaled more than 50,000. Along the way he influenced many to enter the ministry and a short while before the tragedy was elected moderator of the Knoxville Presbytery. After his death, the name change just seemed a logical choice and the Central Market became Emory Place. The Rev. Emory’s farm was in the Arlington community of north Knoxville. His son, Charles M. Emory, established Arlington Gardens there after his father’s death. He sold vegetable plants grown in beds or in some of the first hothouses in Knoxville. When the demand for houses in the suburbs grew in 1924 to 1926, Emory developed the upscale neighborhood and

named its two boulevards Fairmont and Emoriland, again honoring his father. The 1903 Sanborn’s Fire Map shows the WhittleSpence Trunk and Bag Company, with R.D. Whittle as president, occupying a large building in the elbow-shaped center of Emory Place. R.D. was the younger brother of James M. Whittle, who established Whittle Springs Hotel. Walla Walla Chewing Gum Co. occupied lots 8 and 10, but there were few other occupants. In 1910 St. John’s Lutheran Church acquired two lots at the southwest entrance to Emory Place and completed their historic sanctuary in 1913.

Its changed character from a market with stalls to free-standing buildings was shown on the 1917 Sanborn’s Fire Map. The church, the Crescent Steam Laundry and the O.J. Smith Cabinet Co. were on the right side. On the left were the Hinton Laundry and Dry Cleaning Co., the U.S. Post Office and the Walla Walla Chewing Gum Company. Emory Place has experienced a renaissance thanks to the efforts of architect and city council member L. Duane Grieve. He purchased Nos. 8, 10 and 12 Emory Place in 1982, gutted the buildings, replaced the wiring and plumbing,

installed sprinklers and updated the historic façade. Commendably, only after that considerable expense did he apply for and win a federal block grant that transformed a surface parking lot into an attractive pocket park and enhanced all the properties in Emory Place, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Nov. 10, 1994.

Record audience for Peyton I predict record attendance for Tennessee’s football coaching clinic this weekend. For $40, high school coaches can get three square meals, a souvenir gift bag and a batch of helpful stuff to take home. They’ll be treated to a Butch Jones pep talk, presentations plus Q&A opportunities with UT assistant coaches and a few words of wisdom from some of their own, prep coaches with championship credentials. I predict the clinic highlight (I want to say this gently to not offend the host) will be the keynote address by Peyton Manning. The legendary quarterback, almost always busy studying opponents’ defenses and shooting commercials, doesn’t make this kind of appearance very often. He did it for Phillip Fulmer in 2002. That Jones could get him on his first try says something significant about the new coach establishing relations with former Tennessee players.

Marvin West

Manning, in the top level of old Volunteers and an astounding success in the NFL, has kept Tennessee football in his heart. Some of his money is in the almost lavish Peyton Manning dressing room under the north end of Neyland Stadium. Some more of his money funds Peyton Manning scholarships, $7,000 per year for four years, minimum eligibility 3.7 GPA. Macy Harrison from Frisco, Texas, and Chris Barnes from Hardin Valley Academy were 2012 recipients. The part I like best is Manning shows up to present the scholarships. This is for real. Manning did his fair share as a football Vol – 33 school records, eight Southeastern Conference records and two

NCAA records. He produced 11,020 yards and 89 touchdown passes. He ran for 12 scores. No kidding. He graduated early – with honors – and stayed for his senior season. Getting drafted No. 1 did not change him into an egotistical monster. Winning and millions may have added another degree of confidence and a second or two to his colorful checkoffs and animated adjustments at the line of scrimmage but that’s just show biz. In fact, from my distance, he appears to be much as he always was. As famous athletes go, Manning does it about as well as you could ask. He sometimes yells at receivers but picks up the check when they go out to dinner. He still puts in the hours to maintain his level of play. He loves life but lives with dignity. He is rich beyond reason but generous beyond belief. Peyton and wife Ashley established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 “to promote success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs

Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13: 1-2 NRSV) They aren’t strangers at all, but they do regularly qualify as angels. My friends John and Anne called unexpectedly today. Earlier, I had been talking to a colleague when my cell phone buzzed. I checked it and saw that it was Anne, and thought, “I will call her back later, after work.” Then things got busy, and

I was consumed by reports and trying to figure out where in the world check number 1240 had gotten to. (Bank accounts have been the bane of my existence recently, but that is a column for another day. Trust me when I tell you I am nothing if not stubborn when it comes to balancing my personal checkbook. However,

this was a business check, and I have to figure out its disappearance, sometime between now and soon!) My phone rang again, later in the afternoon, and it was Anne. She said, “We are about an hour and a half from Knoxville.” I had no idea they were anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

that provide leadership and growth opportunities.” Some in Knoxville have been recipients. He tried to do as much for Indianapolis as it did for him. Example: In 2007, St. Vincent Hospital renamed its child care segment “Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent.” Some kids want to go there even when they aren’t sick or hurt. I don’t have a scorecard but youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana, from whence he came, have received more than $4 million from PeyBack. Hundreds of needy families in Denver got free Thanksgiving dinners. Peyton’s NFL accomplishments are many – 12 Pro Bowls, four MVPs, six all-pro awards, the individual trophy from Super Bowl XLI. You might have missed the Whizzer White Humanitarian Award and the John Wooden Award from Athletes for a Better World. Manning has been named the most caring athlete. He has been honored as the Walter Payton man of the year. He received the Good Guy award from the SportThese are the friends who (22 years ago) helped us pack up our lives in New Jersey, preparatory to moving back to Tennessee. We had been here less than two weeks, striving mightily to renovate a neglected farmhouse, when they showed up, tools in hand, and helped clean and paint and actually unpack. That is no exaggeration! Anne unpacked the very boxes she had packed for me in New Jersey and put my kitchen together for me in Tennessee. Like I said: angels they are! I remember standing in the driveway at the end of

Two years after that summer, they spent a month with us exploring the American West: two vans filled to the brim with camping equipment, six kids ranging in age from five to 17, four adults, as well as various and assorted forms of entertainment for the teenagers who eventually were bored by mountains and scenic vistas. Since that time, we have managed a visit at least once

a year, sometimes twice. We have shared in family weddings, and have advised, encouraged and supported each other. We have listened, and cared, and sometimes disagreed. So here they were driving into town, and I was still at work, trying to find the errant check. But because it was John and Anne, I knew they would find their way to me, and we would have a great evening, and it would all be comfortable and easy, and we would pick up right where we left off. Because that is the way it is with “chosen family:” they are angels, and they are always welcome.

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.

Fourth- and 5th-grade students at Copper Ridge Elementary School recently participated in a science fair. Each student was required to select a topic, research the project and present their findings. Emily Evans shows her study of which brand of microwave popcorn leaves the least amount of kernels after popping.

Brandon Johnson’s project featured capillary action of water in plants. Brandon used flowers and vegetables to prove his point.

Brickey-McCloud cafeteria earns perfect health rating The Brickey-McCloud Elementary School cafeteria staff scored a perfect 100 on a recent Knox County Health Department rating. “I was told that no school has ever gotten a 100 on the first initial visit,” said cafeteria manager Amy Palmer. “I’m so proud of the staff here. It was truly a team effort.” PTO members treated the cafeteria staff to a special breakfast and the team was showered with 100 thank you cards from students. Pictured at the celebration are: Don Bell, Sherry Majors, Amy Palmer, Lori Nieuwkoop, Cassy Gresham, Marisa Able, Jan Cash and Naomi Hephner. “I’m proud of the staff for obtaining this great score, they are wonderful,” says principal Robbie Norman.” More importantly, they truly love our children here.” Photo by Ruth White

‘The hardest fun you’ll ever have’ By Betty Bean The Farragut High School Robotics Team Jane Skinner and Jill Hudson with the Farragut is an extracurricular High Robotics Team’s robot. Photo by Betty Bean activity for which the students receive no extra credit and the sponsors receive no extra pay. So what is it that keeps Jill Hudson and Jane Skinner volunteering to work 30-40 additional hours per week while keeping up with their day jobs? They both grin. Hudson: “It’s not the money.” Skinner: “I guess if it were easy, we wouldn’t keep coming back. We wouldn’t be challenged.” Hudson: “If it were easy, everybody would do it.” Skinner: “And they just don’t know how much fun we’re having.” Hudson, who is from the Nashville area, teaches technology and engineering in Farragut’s Career and Technical Education department. Skinner, who is from Indiana, teaches science and is the lab and technology coordinator for Farragut’s science department. Back in 2009, Hudson had been looking at a variety of robotics programs and was feeling overwhelmed. “I decided there was no way one person could do it,” she said. Around the same time, Skinner and Kristin Baksa mountable,” Skinner said.

The Smoky Mountain Regional FIRST Robotics competition kickoff party was on the first Saturday in January, when this year’s game – Ultimate Ascent, the objective of which was to shoot Frisbees into goals, culminating in robots climbing to the top of tri-level towers – was announced at a party on the UT campus, where the kits were processed and distributed. And it’s not just about building robots. “There are lots of other things

involved,” Skinner said. “Marketing, videos, design, community service.” They attend engineering luncheons, do outreach in elementary and middle schools and are working on getting more girls to participate. They’ll have a robotics camp for rising 7th through 9th graders in June, a pancake breakfast in October and a Boy Scouts merit badge event in November. Skinner described the competition’s atmosphere as “gracious professionalism,” and said there’s a new word to describe the atmosphere – “cooperation” “It’s not cutthroat – it’s not us against them. It’s how can we help them,” Hudson said. “In the first game, there’s no competition at all; just running around asking other teams, “How can I help you?” In later rounds, teams will be chosen for alliances, but in the early rounds, nobody knows who their competitors will be. Halls, Hardin Valley and Oak Ridge’s alliance took first place at the Smoky Mountain Regionals on March 28-30. “It’s so much better when everybody works together,” Hudson said. “That’s one of the things we like about this and is something our mentors notice.” It all adds up to a new and unique learning experience. “Everybody works together and we all get better. It’s competitive, but you’re raising the bar for everyone.” “It’s not winner takes all,” Hudson said. “And ‘winner’ is a very vague word. You can have a great robot and not go to the finals. We win every year. We may not always bring home trophies, but we win every year. You’re not going to see a sign on the road that says ‘Home of 2013 Regional Robotics Champions,’ but we win through so many other routes. A lot of people call it the hardest fun you’ll ever have.” “That’s the big hook,” Skinner said. “They like learning and so do we. We’re lifelong learners.”

Finally a Solution for Peripheral Neuropathy How to Relieve Pain in Your Legs and Feet If you suffer from pain due to Peripheral Neuropathy: tingling, numbness, or you can’t even feel your feet, call the Tennessee Neuropathy center and schedule an appointment to learn more about the latest treatment available. More than 20 million Americans suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy, a condition caused by damage to the nerves. This pain affects everything that you do, your work, your play and ultimately the quality of life. There is hope. Many people have found relief from their leg and foot pain at Tennessee Neuropathy Center.

SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY: • Burning Pain • Leg Cramping • Sharp Electrical-Like Pain • Pain when you walk • Difficulty sleeping from leg & foot discomfort • Prickling or tingling of the feet or hands Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions for Neuropathy treatment? Treatment options for Peripheral Neuropathy have included a small handful of medications. Patients have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills. This type of pain relief is temporary. Often these treatments lead to even more health problems or worse yet – addiction. So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain. The Solution: The latest treatment regimen for treating the symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy has a high success rate. Every case os unique, however, in most cases moderate to complete relief is possible. To ﬁnd out if your condition is one that can beneﬁt from treatment, call Tennessee Neuropathy Center today 865-329-6484.

Signups Saturday, April 13 & 20 10am to 2pm • $85 Sign-up fees PLUS vendor dues Halls Community Park Building • Uniform measurements and shoe sizes will be taken at sign ups for all cheerleaders. • Bring multiple checks or checkbook as fees are split for vendors.

For information call Cindy Phillips 386-3527

Neuropathy may contribute to emotional stress and depression Many people suffering with pain don’t realize that the symptoms could be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. It is a condition that can be mis-diagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable. This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you feel that your symptoms may be caused by Peripheral Neuropathy, call today. Yes, Insurance Covers Neuropathy Treatment Most major insurances such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna cover most treatment options. Federal plans such as Medicare and TennCare also provide coverage. When you call for an appointment, a representative will verify your beneﬁts prior to treatment. Patients are responsible for all unpaid deductibles and co-pays.

What are patients saying? “For 30 years I suffered with pain which I thought was normal. I feel great, it’s unbelievable to be pain free! Thank you Tennessee Neuropathy Center.” – Carmen M. (Age 67)

‘Puss in Boots’ at Powell Playhouse By Jake Mabe

Jordan Johnson sneaks up on a sleeping Aidan Knowles during rehearsal for “Puss in Boots,” which will be presented this week at the Powell Playhouse. Both are members of the Halls High Masquerade Players. Photo by Ruth White

“Puss in Boots,” this week’s production by the Powell Playhouse at the Jubilee Banquet Facility, will feature a special treat. Nine members of the Halls High School Masquerade Players will be the featured performers. Drama teacher Kim Hurst says the idea sprang from Powell Playhouse founder Nita Buell Black, a retired drama teacher who spent most of her career at Powell High. “This is something she wanted to do from the beginning, involve schools in the Powell Playhouse, because that’s where her heart is,” Hurst said. Masquerade Players cast members are: Delaney Keith, Amy Barraza, Aidan Knowles, Sierra Knighten, Chandler Lakin, Kristen Rouse, Evan Hughes, Jordan Johnson and Tori Morsch. The project has been a labor of love for Hurst’s students, who have been rehearsing at 7 a.m. twice a

week since February. “They have been doing this outside of school because I had them first semester. And we had to meet at 7 a.m. because they all have jobs. They have been so dedicated, dragging in here (that early) like teenagers do, but they come every Tuesday and Thursday.” Hurst says the students are particularly excited about wearing professional costumes because in most school productions, “I’m a Goodwill girl.” One scene requires a fencing match, for which the students were not trained. “Courtney Woolard, who is on the Powell Playhouse board of directors, works in theater downtown. She got wooden swords and showed them how to do some fencing and did the choreography.” Hurst says several Masquerade Players along with the Halls High Madrigals just returned from seeing Broadway plays in New York. “So it was so wonderful

for them to see professional shows, which is what we’ll have at the Powell Playhouse. We are so excited to get out into the public. My kids are so talented. “The Powell Playhouse has a dedicated group of fans that comes to their performances, but we would like people in the Halls, Karns and other communities to come out as well.” Dinner will be served prior to the play at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 11, for a cost of $25. Dinner tickets must be purchased by April 8 by calling 947-7428 or 2567428. Tickets for the play only at 7:30 p.m. are $10 ($5 for children) and can be bought at the door. The play will also be presented at 3 p.m. ($10 for adults, $5 for children and seniors) and at 7:30 p.m. ($10 adults, $5 children) Saturday, April 13. The Jubilee Banquet Facility is located on Callahan Drive. Info: www. powellplayhouseinc.com.

News from SOS Knox County Schools (KCS) serves more than 57,000 students in 88 schools and employs about 4,000 teachers. KCS is the largest part of the total Knox County government’s budget. Last June, the $406.5 million approved for school operations comprised about 60 percent of the county budget. Nearly $167 million came from the State Basic Education Program (BEP) and most of the remainder from county taxes. For fiscal year 2014, Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre has proposed an operating budget of $419.75 million, an increase of 3.3 percent. KCS develops two budgets each year: one for operations (salaries, books, computers, utilities, etc.) and one for capital expenses, such as new school construction. The approval process goes through several stages. The proposed budget is presented to the community and school board in March. In April, the board accepts the proposal, amends it or declines it. If the board rejects a budget or wants changes, the proposal goes back to the school system. This cycle continues until the board approves it. The board-approved budget proposal goes to the county mayor’s office, where the mayor and his staff study it and roll the school budget, and other departments’ budgets, into the total county government budget proposal.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders caters to unique needs of older adults Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has been designated as a Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) hospital by the New York University College of Nursing. Fort Sanders joins a distinguished network of hospitals that demonstrate dedication to improving the quality of care provided to older adults. NICHE is a nationwide effort to better meet the unique health care needs of aging adults across America. Covenant Health is the first health care system in the state, and the only one in East Tennessee, to implement the specialized services that NICHE offers at Fort Sanders Regional. “As a NICHE hospital, our patients experience a geriatric standard of care by staff trained to recognize geriatric syndromes,” explains Stan Boling, Covenant Health’s Vice President of Senior Services. Fort Sanders Regional has been identified as one of the top

10 hospitals in the country that has performed exceptionally in disseminating knowledge and incorporating validated protocols for geriatric care into nursing practice. Fort Sanders has also participated in research projects sponsored by NICHE. “We’re involved in validating research that looks at the differences between adults and seniors when it comes to hospitalization,” says Boling. Older adult patients often have multiple chronic illnesses and reduced function that may be both physical and cognitive. These issues can affect that patient’s success after they’re discharged from the hospital. “The care of the older adult presents a different set of challenges that all health care team members should be aware of, and should assess on admission, during the acute care stay and all the way through to the discharge setting,” explains Boling.

“The care of the older adult presents a different set of challenges that all health care team members should be aware of.” – Stan Boling, Covenant Health VP of Senior Services

NICHE provides nurses with specialized training related to common health problems of older adults. These include issues such as skin breakdown, falls/injuries, confusion or loss of strength/mobility. NICHEcertified gerontological nurses offer patients and families a high standard of care and resources while promoting patients’ independence and facilitating a comfortable transition home. The NICHE program recognizes that patient and family-centered care is imperative to creating a positive experience for the older adult patient “With NICHE there are training and resources available for the family as well as senior spousal caregivers,” says Boling. “We are excited about the effort we’re making with NICHE.” For more information about the NICHE program and resources for older patients and their families, visit www.nicheprogram.org.

The NICHE mission …

Preventing falls important for seniors As you age, your risk for falling increases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more than one-third of people ages 65 and older fall each year. Although most falls cause only minor injuries, the CDC estimates that up to 30 percent of the people who fall experience injuries that severely limit their independence. Falls can happen anywhere, but most occur in the home. Here are some tips to help keep you safe: ■ Get your hearing and vision checked regularly before you notice problems. ■ Talk with your doctor about whether your medications can make you feel dizzy. ■ Tell your physician or health care provider if you are experiencing balance problems. ■ Try not to stand up quickly. Before standing, wiggle your toes and feet, and swing your legs, if possible. Move enough to increase your heart rate and blood pressure, then stand up.

■ If you feel unsteady on your feet, use a cane or walker. Wear shoes with non-slip soles. ■ Exercise regularly. Exercise helps strengthen your muscles and improve your agility. ■ Limit your consumption of alcohol. ■ Keep your home free of clutter. ■ Eliminate slippery ﬂoors and throw rugs. ■ Add handrails and supports in your home. Grab bars in the shower and on either side of the toilet can prevent falls. ■ Improve the lighting in dark areas and use a nightlight if you get out of bed at night.

For more information, check out the CDC’s Fall Prevention resources at www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/falls/index.html.

NICHE, which stands for “Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders,” is an innovative program designed to help hospitals improve the care of older adults. The goal of NICHE is for every patient age 65 and over to be given sensitive and exemplary care. The mission of NICHE is to provide the tools and principles to change the culture of health care facilities to achieve patientcentered for seniors. The NICHE program, based at the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University College of Nursing, consists of more than 350 hospitals and health care facilities throughout North America. NICHE hospitals recognize that

older adult patients have special needs and that patient and familycentered care is important to creating a positive experience for the senior patient. Families provide a vital link between the patient and hospital staff. Hospital nurses are in a unique position to work with families as partners to provide quality care to hospitalized older adult patients. It is also important to have informed, involved patients who understand and participate in their care. The NICHE program is committed to creating a hospital culture where the main focus is on patients and their families. As a result, NICHE hospitals have a higher patient, family and staff satisfaction overall.

No place like home It’s spring, and, as in June, things are “bustin’ out all over.” Everything’s blooming. It’s a beautiful sight.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner Sadly, however, it’s not a beautiful sight over at YoungWilliams Animal Center. Because along with the daffodils and dogwoods comes another symptom of the season: unwanted animals. “Starting in the spring, the shelter usually receives an influx of puppies in need of homes,” says Young-Williams CEO Jeff Ashin. “It’s the start of mating season for dogs and cats, and unfortunately, many people have not spayed or neutered their pets and end up with litters of animals that they cannot care for.” The shelter is currently filled to capacity. In order to encourage adoptions and clear space desperately needed for the daily intake of unwanted animals, Young-Williams is reducing fees for all dog adoptions. Now through April 14, it’s offering $50 off the adoption fee for all puppies and $25 off the adoption fee for all adult dogs. That brings the fees down to $100 and $50 respectively.

Zura and Zina are best friends who would like to find a forever home together. Photo submitted

It’s a steal. That fee includes more than $600 worth of veterinary care: a physical exam, spay/neuter surgery, DAPP and Kennel Cough vaccinations, heartworm test, and one month of heartworm prevention, standard deworming, one month of flea prevention, nail trim and ear cleaning, and microchipping with registration. On Feb. 3 of this year, I adopted a shelter dog. He’s a Corgi/Shepherd mix, and I named him Barney Fife because he’s small, he’s full of bravado and he howls off-key. Barney had already been surrendered back to the shelter by one adoptive family. Like most dogs, he’s intelligent and sensitive; after so many hard knocks, he wasn’t sure he could trust his new home and situation. He was fearful, clingy and needy – a “velcro dog” – and he needed constant reassurance.

Forney Mill is mirrored in this pond, located just over the Alabama state line.

I did a little reading about Barney’s various problems. Turns out they’re quite common, and not only in shelter dogs. With just a little effort on my part, Barney began to turn around. A Gentle Leader leash helped him learn to heel on our walks. A crate helped him to feel safe. He easily learned some simple commands. He’s become much happier and calmer. He’s developed an affectionate friendship with my four (shelter) cats. I’m telling you this because you may have reservations about shelter pets. Yes, they’ve been through some stuff. Yes, they may have behavioral problems at first. On the other hand, you may luck out and get one who settles right in; it’s happened to me before. And of course, puppies are new to the world and haven’t had any problems yet. But my little guy needed some help. Now, as I watch him sleeping peacefully on the rug with his favorite stuffed toy, I’m reminded that the rewards of owning a shelter dog – of literally saving a life – are immeasurable. So here’s a heartfelt plea to all kindhearted souls out there: please consider bringing a shelter dog – maybe more than one – into your life. Visit either of the two Young-Williams locations at 3201 Division Street or 6400 Kingston Pike. Info: 215-6599, visit www.young-williams.org. or Young-Williams’ Facebook page.

Rustic reflections

A reflection of this barn can be seen in a creek off Dolly Parton Parkway in Sevierville.

This week, I was sent a photo found by a friend on the internet. It was a picture of a barn reflected in a pond. Well, it inspired me to dig through my collection of photos. These are a few of the rustic reflections that I have captured during my travels. Anyone wanting to share the story of their barn can contact me at woycikK@ ShopperNewsNow.com.
