Fountain City Town Hall will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, April 14, at Church of the Good Shepherd, 5337 Jacksboro Pike. The speaker will be Charles Williams, a cartoonist/illustrator since the ’70s. He has designed the T-shirts for Honor Fountain City Day for several years. His popular illustrations of local landmarks “Lost Treasures of Fountain City” are available as notecard sets at the Fountain City Art Center. Ten years ago, his wife, Sylvia, a highly regarded portraitist, assembled a group of local artists to create the Fountain City Art Center to give artists a place to meet, to learn and to display their work in a gallery setting in Fountain City. Williams will speak about the art center’s history, goals and plans for the next 10 years. All are invited.

IN THIS ISSUE City salaries: Bet you didn’t know ...

The city of Knoxville is essentially a service provider. It’s a people business. As such, wages and related fringe benefits make up the largest part of the city’s $183 million operating budget.

Contrary to what a lot of people probably think, Ed Harvey never met my brother John. Not that he knew of, anyhow. Even though John put Eddie in the Prank Call Hall of Fame (if there’s not such a thing, there should be) when he called him up in the late ’70s to complain about buying a bad oil filter at Eddie’s Auto Parts, the two were never formally introduced, and John was long dead by the time the tapes went viral in 1987. (Note: Viral was not a word we would’ve thought to use back in the day.) Edward Ralph Harvey, 91, died last week after a long struggle with dementia. He worked as long as he could, keeping long days in his auto-parts store with the marquee sign from the Italian Pavilion at the 1982 World’s Fair. Tough as a boot with a barely hidden sly sense

of humor, Eddie Harvey affi xed that sign to the front of his store and found it to be a good conversation piece. Born in Union County’s Little Valley in 1922, Ed Harvey loved to tell the story of his great-grandfather, Jack Woods, who had a license from the federal govEddie Harvey ernment to operate a whisky-bottling business, as long as he sold the product out of state. He also sold some in-state, out the back door. Ed Harvey graduated from Halls High School in 1940. His first job was zipping through the streets of Knoxville as a bicycle messenger. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and returned home wanting to start a

business, so he went to see Claude Myers, president of Fountain City Bank, and asked for a $500 loan. “At first, he wouldn’t give me the loan, but then he found out I was a good welder and told me if I’d build the swings in Fountain City Park, I could have the money. So I built the swings, and they are still standing. I got my loan – that’s when I was poor as a church mouse,” he told Metro Pulse in 2000. He used the money to make a down payment on the property on Walker Boulevard where his store stands today. Over the years, he acquired additional property, including a next-door parcel he bought from Cas Walker. He also found time to work on racecars, and to do some racing himself, until he had a bad wreck in the late ’50s. In his later years, after John’s

tapes had been widely circulated, Ed Harvey drew visitors from all over the world who wanted to meet the guy who sold the oil filter. What they found was one of those inimitable East Tennesseans who helped make this place what it is. He outlived two wives and was the father of four and the grandfather of five, in addition to having a big brood of great-grandchildren. His motto was, “I’d rather be lucky anytime as be smart,” and he counted himself a lucky man. I’d like to think that by now, he and John have been introduced. And there’s not much I wouldn’t give to hear those stories.

Services Services were held Friday at New Beverly Baptist Church where Mr. Harvey was a member. An honorary pallbearer was another Fountain City original, Alvin Frye.

Lay, McMillan are GOP candidates to replace Swann By Jake Mabe The swan takes flight. After 32 years on the bench, 4th Circuit Court Judge Bill Swann announced his retirement last year, shortly after lawyer Greg McMillan said he would seek the job whether Swann ran or not.

Analysis Swann is Knox County’s most controversial judge; lawyers and litigants either love or hate him. Many just bypass his court entirely, filing in Chancery Court and putting a burden on that court’s caseload. The biggest complaint against Judge Swann is his overreliance on psychologists, with several working in his court, pushing up costs. The state requires that divorcing couples undergo one mediation session; Swann requires four. The state requires four hours of Parent Education Seminars; Swann requires 12. It is difficult to get a trial date because he has trial “managements,” which require litigants to spend yet another day sitting in the courtroom with their lawyers so that progress toward settlement can be “measured.”

Another frequent complaint is his overreliance on Orders of Protection. At one time, Knox County’s 4th Circuit Court issued more OPs than Davidson, Hamilton, Shelby and Sullivan counties combined. He also has a stable of lawyers who work as his “special masters.” These lawyers have their own robes, dockets and nameplates. When they’re not wielding a gavel, they are practicing in his court, raising the question of how these individuals can be agents of the judge one day and come before him the next. Candidate Patti Jane Lay is one of these, and Swann has endorsed her to succeed him. These practices have caused Chancery Court dockets to become overloaded with divorce cases. Swann’s critics say he has made the process of getting a divorce in Knox County expensive, cumbersome and protracted. The candidates: Two lawyers seek to replace Judge Swann, a race that will be decided in the May 6 Republican Primary. The winner will face the winner of the Democratic Primary, either Daniel Kidd or David Valone, in the general election. Patti Jane Lay and Greg McMillan are campaigning hard – both

in the shadow of Bill Swann. Lay grew up in Fountain City and Bearden, graduating from Webb School of Knoxville. She earned a bachelor’s degree at Emory University in Atlanta and a law degree at UT. She and her husband, Tom Baugh, live in Bearden and have three children. Lay McMillan says he declared his intentions to run in 2006. He graduated from Bearden High before earning a bachelor’s degree and a law degree from UT. He and his wife, Summer, have five children. He is special counsel with the Lewis Thomason law firm. McMillan says he got into the race because “the court hasn’t been working well for the people of Knox County for several years.” He says he will: ■ Do a better job screening orders of protection, granting them not at the initial stage by special masters but by the court of record. “It eliminates appeals.” ■ Ensure better coordination between law enforcement and the court, making orders of protection simplified, clear and typed rather

than written. ■ Change the way the docket is handled. He says most cases are filed in Chancery Court because of Swann’s “biases,” which have created a logjam. ■ Change Swann’s snowday policy, opening court even if Knox County government is closed for those who can McMillan safely make it to court. On the civil side, McMillan says he will change the current policy of a 12-hour parenting class to the state-required four-hour class and will look at offering online classes. He says when parents are going through a divorce, their children need them more than ever. “The court needs to work better for the people of Knox County. There’s going to be a change (in judges). But it needs to be the right change.” We were unable to connect with Lay by press time.

Fifty years and counting Edward Wilkerson began working at the Coop on Willow Street near downtown in 1964. Soon after he helped open the store in Halls and has been there ever since. He quickly earned the name “Bones” because, he said, everyone had a nickname back then. Wilkerson celebrated his 5oth anniversary at his job and was recognized for his service and dedication.

Wilkerson replied, “I’ve worked with some really great managers, and I love working outside.” He considers himself blessed with good health and a good place to work. The Co-Op is blessed to have a dedicated employee on hand. ■

peratures, the trails should be in full color and welcoming to visitors. The Fountain City trail is the only trail to have two sections: the garden side and the panorama side off Black Oak Ridge. It is the longest of the trails and worth the drive. Other trails include Holston Hills, Lakemoor Hills, Westmoreland, Chapman Highway and Farragut. Each trail is designated by a sign and pink lines on the roads to serve as guides for the tour. The trails will remain open through April, and the Dogwood Arts Festival will wrap up with the Market Square Art Fair April 2527.

When war comes home Knox County has many programs in place to help our local veterans. Mayor Tim Burchett believes we can always do more.

Cindy Taylor

Burchett held a press conference April 3 at Redemption Church to announce the Veteran Friendly Congregation Initiative “When War Comes Home” forum planned for May 1. The forum will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Knox County Community Action Center L.T. Ross Building, 2247 Western Ave. Burchett hopes a great representation from all faiths will turn out for the forum. “In Knox County, we do a good job of serving our veterans, but there is always more that can be done,” said Burchett. “Right now there are heroes in our churches, synagogues and mosques across the country who have just returned from war. These con-

gregations have an opportunity to ask what else they can do for these heroes.” Veteran and forum organizer Freddie Owens spoke about the role all Americans can and should play in the lives of veterans. “Many of our veterans coming home today have invisible wounds such as posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, anxiety and depression,” said Owens. “Veterans are five times more likely to talk to their pastors about mental-

health issues than they are to seek help from the Veterans Administration.” It is hoped that through this forum local congregations will learn how to become an environment of acceptance for veterans and their families by helping area religious leaders address issues that come before them from veterans. The forum is open to faith leaders from Knox and surrounding counties. Those wishing to participate can register at www.tnvhc.org.

Wynona Dye, co-president of the Fontinalis Club, presided last week over one of the final meetings of the organization, which will disband in May. T h e group has been in the Wynona Dye Fountain City area for years and has recognized many individuals who have contributed to the community through art, poetry, music, history and writing. While covering meetings, I have met some kind women who want the best for the community, who believe in the good of others and who treat people with respect. I am going to miss that. Board members voted to allow all active members to be named honorary members and took care of other business. The Fontinalis will not be forgotten anytime soon, and their contribution to the Fountain City area will live on. The final meeting will be Thursday, May 8, and feature a celebration luncheon.

government Applause for Nick Nick Della Volpe, serving his second and final term on Knoxville City Council, deserves high praise for bringing up the politically tough issues he has been raising lately. While he hasn’t been successful, he is educating the public as to several city policies that are financially costly and would never happen in the private sector.

Victor Ashe

On April 1, he urged the council to repeal the ordinance that gives all city employees a 2.5 percent automatic pay raise regardless of what the economy is, what city revenues are or even what the employee’s performance is. County, state and federal employees do not enjoy this ta x-paid benefit. Repealing the ordinance would not have deprived employees of a pay raise (as the mayor each year recommends what he/she feels is best). But it would have restored flexibility to the mayor as she makes budget decisions. Instead of welcoming this initiative, she opposed it. Joining Della Volpe in representing the taxpayers on this vote were council members George Wallace and Duane Grieve. The audience booed Della Volpe and others who spoke in favor of repeal. While employee opposition is understandable, disrupting the council proceedings is not justified. Della Volpe has never been a favorite of city employees, who worked hard last November along with the local Democratic Party to defeat him. Mayor Rogero pointedly did not endorse Della Volpe for a second term while she did endorse at least two others seeking re-election. They came close to ousting Della Volpe but failed. Now he is free to voice his views without political payback. Almost half of the city employees live outside the city, do not pay city property taxes and cannot vote in city elections, including one of the two deputy mayors. Della Volpe has been writing articles in this publication about expensive provisions of the city pension plan that the mayor failed to address in her charter changes. One is the annual 3 percent increase in city pensions regardless of the inflation level. This benefits about 1,800 city

retirees, over half of whom live outside the city. It will be one of the major reasons the mayor recommends a property-tax increase in 10 days on April 24 at Christenberry ballfield in her budget message. Della Volpe, an attorney, is an interesting person. He often speaks at council on many subjects. He is a strong advocate of greenways and worked effectively to install a greenway by Loves Creek in East Knoxville. Several of his colleagues wish he were less outspoken and have urged him to drop the pension comments. My personal view is that he brings to public discussion inconvenient topics on which the public needs to know more. A property-tax increase should come only when the mayor is also showing serious efforts in cutting nonessential spending. Council must be willing to say no to expenditures that can be deferred, such as the $200,000 for a salary survey that will recommend higher salaries when it is completed. Or a car allowance of $5,830 a year for a deputy mayor who walks to work. It is time to reassess the merit of all car allowances versus actual payment per mile for travel in the city. Which would be less costly to taxpayers? My guess is council will approve a Rogero propertytax hike but with three or perhaps four council members voting no. ■ Great news last week that Fort Kid at World’s Fair Park has a new lease on life with Rogero and Beth Waters working together to upgrade it. It had been slated for closure. ■ Cheri Siler on her website advocates raising the minimum wage. She said, when asked by this writer, it should go to $10.10 an hour from the current $7.70. Siler is the Democratic candidate for state senator from District 7.

GOV NOTES ■ Ray Jenkins, candidate for judge, will be honored at a reception held by Mario Azevedo II and John D. Lockridge Jr. 5-7 p.m. Monday, April 14, at Doc’s All American Grill, 7355 Kingston Pike. ■ Bobby Waggoner, candidate for sheriff, will be honored at a barbecue at Brasfield farm in Karns, 10106 Rather Road, 4-7 p.m. Saturday, April 19.

When I first saw Thomas and Brantley during a political forum, I started singing Buck Owens’ “Together Again.” Both are likable, widely known and feel like old friends. My first reaction was “shoo-in.” But things have taken an interesting turn. Brantley took off on a long-planned vacation with his son during the month of March – key campaign season in a county in which the Republican is usually the winner. He got tangled up in questioning the need for

Correction I owe a sincere apology to Knox County Trustee candidate Ed Shouse. My profile of that race contained an error that County Commissioner Dave Wright’s questioning of candidate Barry Hawkins’ non-repayment of $3,000 he received as a CTAS bonus when Hawkins worked in the office was a political move aimed to help Shouse. In fact, it was aimed to help appointed Trustee Craig Leuthold. The error was unintentional. In fact, I like Ed Shouse. He’s smart, calm, experienced and the least political candidate for the job.

School board candidates ready for primary The Knox County primary elections are upon us. Early voting begins April 16 in this odd kind of election year. The contests that are drawing the most interest are the school board races, primarily because of the controversies surrounding Superintendent James McIntyre. The incumbents are all McIntyre supporters, and all have drawn opposition. First District challengers Marshall Walker and Robert Boyd are able guys who know their way around schools (Boyd has taught on the college level; Walker is a retired school social worker) but seem slow to get off the blocks. Prediction: Incumbent Gloria Deathridge, the vice chair of the board, could win it outright in the primary. But if she doesn’t, watch out. Walker or Boyd (both first-time candidates) could get the hang of this campaigning thing and give the voters something to think

Betty Bean about. Both are McIntyre critics with deep roots in the community. Sally Absher and J. Scott Clark, challenging board chair Lynne Fugate in District 4, are a study in contrasts. Absher, elected to the state Republican Executive Committee four years ago, is not seeking re-election to that position. She has caught heat for being a former Tea Party activist but says she has pulled back from those causes. She is energetic and knowledgeable and sympathetic to teacher concerns. If Absher suffers from too much publicity, Clark’s had too little. He appears to be running something of a stealth campaign, but his

presence will make it hard for Fugate to win a majority vote in the primary. If she’s forced into a runoff with Absher, she, like Deathridge, could be in for a most unpleasant summer. Prediction: Fugate wins, but not by enough to avoid a runoff. Incumbents Kim Severance in District 7 and Thomas Deakins in District 6 are stepping down, and while only soon-to-be-retired teacher Patti Lou Bounds submitted a qualifying petition to succeed Severance, there’s a dogfight in the Sixth, where four candidates are duking it out. Two of them – Brad Buchanan and Tamara Shepherd – are outright critics of McIntyre’s test-them-tillthey-puke methodology. Candidate Terry Hill is vaguely critical of McIntyre and has been more focused on getting a new middle school in Hardin Valley. The fourth candidate, Knox

County Council PTA president Sandra Rowcliffe, is a vocal McIntyre supporter who has also been vocal in her criticism of teachers who oppose him. Prediction: Hill, whose husband, daughter and son-in-law are all former officeholders, is the most polished candidate in this bunch. Common wisdom is it’s her race to lose, although it will be difficult for her to break 50 percent in a crowded field, so she shouldn’t plan any extended vacations until after the August election. Rowcliffe will come in fourth. District 9 incumbent Pam Trainor, a strong McIntyre supporter, has drawn only a single challenger (albeit an exceptionally vigorous one), so this race will be decided in the primary. Prediction: Elementary school librarian (who will resign her job if elected) Amber Rountree takes her out.

A forgotten father of country music HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin “Why, country music, as public entertainment, was born in that Market Hall. It was there that Roy Acuff started sawing his fiddle for pay, and Lowell Blanchard gave birth to the ‘MerryGo-Round’ and the ‘Tennessee Barn Dance.’ ” – former Knoxville News-Sentinel columnist Bert Vincent Although legendary Knoxville live radio programs the WNOX “Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round” and the “Tennessee Barn Dance” once were held in the old Market House, they soon needed larger quarters. Lowell Blanchard deserves credit for their growth and for the growth

of country music. He acted as the talent scout, authored the comedy skits and was master of ceremonies for both programs. E n g a ge ments on the noon Blanchard “Merry-GoRound” or Saturday night’s “Tennessee Barn Dance” launched the early careers of Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Kitty Wells, the Carter Sisters (featuring June Carter), Archie “Grandpappy” Campbell, the Carlisles (including Bill’s alter ego

“Hotshot Elmer”), Homer and Jethro, Don Gibson and many others. Some even said that Knoxville could have become the countrymusic capital that Nashville became but for the lingering aftereffects of the Great Depression and the oft-cited lack of vision of its civic leaders. Richard Lowell Blanchard was born on Nov. 5, 1910, in Palmer, Ill., the son of Jay William and Betty Mason Priest Blanchard. His father was a grocery-store owner and served as mayor of Palmer for 17 years. Lowell worked for his father, spent summers on a nearby farm and went to work for a

Fringe Benefits = $32 million: This includes some $9.8 million in health-care benefits, $16 million in pension contributions (growing by $7.5 million next year to $23.4 million), plus some $8.6 million in other benefits, like visual and dental insurance, educational incentives and longevity. Mystery Money. You’ve already heard about the “automatic 2.5 percent pay raises” for city workers, addressed at a recent City Council meeting – the issue there was to take this 30-year-old pay perk off auto-pilot and have all raises addressed by the administration in light of current budget, inflation and other economic facts. That was rejected amidst a highly vocal worker outcry.

Basketball is a simple game I never said I know it all, but I really thought I understood. Sixty-three years ago, as a high school senior, not yet 17, I concluded my only season as coach of eighth-grade basketball – undefeated and very confident. My mentor was not surprised. He had said “basketball is such a simple game, even you can teach it.” All you have to do is control time and space – and don’t give up the baseline. He explained that effort and positioning are key ingredients of defense and rebounding. He said shooting was a bit more complicated, that even the best players rarely made half their shots. He recommended

getting as close to the basket as possible before “putting it up.” He favored passing over dribble penetration but liked that the round ball delivered predictable bounces. He said 10 players were not enough to clutter the entire floor, leaving room for minor strategy. Way back then, he said caring for the basketball was critical; possession

equaled points. Some years later, when Dick Campbell was coach at Carson-Newman College, he invested considerable time in refining my knowledge. After that, I learned by watching a thousand practices conducted by Ray Mears at Tennessee. Sometimes I asked Stu Aberdeen what the heck he was doing. To tell you the truth, those men covered it. I’ve seen and heard 19 versions of the same information, but I haven’t learned a lot of sizzling new stuff. A few mysteries have come and gone: A motion offense absolutely requires movement. There are intelligent debates about when to call or not call timeout,

when to substitute, how to attack devilish zone defenses and whether to yell at blundering officials or just sit there and take it. In old age, I have acquired empathy for young people in knee pants, standing at the foul line with the season hanging in the balance, the weight of their coach’s job on their shoulders, a tick or three on the clock, one to tie, two to win. Delightful employment and many blessings allowed me to listen to and even question some of the all-time great coaches – Pat Summitt, Adolph Rupp, John Wooden, Dean Smith, Al Maguire, Coach K, even Bobby Knight – a couple of times more than I wanted.

But you may not have heard of “Longevity Pay.” City workers (after four years of service) also get longevity pay. This automatic “seniority pay” apparently entered the city’s budget during the inflation-stressed late 1970s. Workers get $120 x years of service (after the first four years, up to a max of 20 years) added to their pay. Nice work if you can get it. So, for all the recent outcry about “just getting by” or needing “to put bread on the table,” these two automatic pay increases – wholly aside from any scheduled step advances and merit pay under the civil-service pay scales – can give workers an added 5 percent increase. Take, for example, a 42-year-old firefighter, who likely makes $50,000/year. Theoretically, he could re-

ceive $1,400 to $1,800 in longevity pay (e.g. 15 yrs. x $120), plus a 2.5 percent automatic pay raise of, say, $1,250. That’s nearly a $3,000 pay bump in one year without counting earned merit increases. To most folks, that might seem more than putting a little bread on the table. Don’t get me wrong, hard work deserves fair pay. That should be the job of modern pay scales, not vestiges of yesteryear. Such automatic increases compound pension and fringe costs, as they raise base pay under existing formulas. Taxpayer-financed wages should be transparent. Perhaps the mayor, as CEO, will look at all these costs.

What I thought was a rich background did not prepare me for this absolutely crazy Tennessee season past. I cannot explain how a talented team can be so good some games and bad for others. Two or three times I thought the Volunteers could have given greater effort. Ongoing indecision at point guard was puzzling. There was the obvious question about tempo. The coach visualized one speed. Some players wanted to go faster. I was stunned by the segment of the season when those with the ball could not or would not throw it to Jarnell Stokes. The last time when he got it, I was surprised. Michigan wasn’t. Tennessee fans choose how to behave but the February myth of bringing back Bruce Pearl made Cuonzo

Martin’s job more difficult. Never saw anything like that. It was a pleasant development that the team countered with its best punch. It could have quit. As if the soap-opera season did not have enough quirky twists and turns, there was the phone call. Many felt certain Cuonzo was gone to Marquette, more money, less hassle and a better fit for a Midwestern staff. Some said go Zo. Some repented for past criticisms. As soon as the coach said he still loves Tennessee, some resumed worrying about his recruiting tendencies. Never has basketball, supposedly a simple game, been so confusing.

“In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Acts 2: 18b-21 NRSV) There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

faith

For Christians, the Easter season represents Jesus’ victory over the grave and the promise of salvation. Fast forward to present time, and the victory is still relevant. Melanie Porter has spent the past five years working on a drama for Fairview Baptist to present to the community. The story involves one family’s struggle through a season of warfare and their victory over the darkness. Porter began writing scripts when she felt that she couldn’t find good material for the large cast at the church. Pastor Bryan Wright would discuss sermon ideas with her, and from there she would begin to write. They bounced ideas off one another and did a lot of praying over the content until the final script was written. The idea for an Easter program quite different from a typical musical came to her from her own life experiences. “I was living defeated and felt that Satan was putting

things in my path to discourage me,” she said. Porter knew that others must be having the same struggles, and she began to write. The script is a relatable story, featuring parenting issues, social media, finances and daily struggles. “The story shows the free will that God gives individuals and how to have victory and not live defeated.” This message of victory is one that has been told before, just in a different way. Mixed in with the drama is uplifting and encouraging music that helps bring the truth to the surface. Fairview Baptist will present “Overcoming the Darkness” at 4 and 7 p.m. Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to each performance. The community is welcome to attend, but the drama is intended for those 10 years and older. Fairview Baptist is at 7424 Fairview Road (off Emory Road) in Corryton. Info: 687-5648 or www.fairviewbaptist.com/.

The Scripture text quoted above is Peter’s speech on the Day of Pentecost. He quotes the Old Testament prophet Joel with words that are both hopeful and fearsome. The moon’s turning to blood came to my mind because by the time you read this, you may have seen such a phenomenon. A total lunar eclipse will have occurred in the wee hours of April 14, and Mars will be closer to the Earth than it has been since 2008. There is no danger in such an occurrence; these things have been happening for eons, but they are definitely not an everyday event. It is true that in a lunar eclipse, the moon does turn red. The resulting so-called “blood moon” is a function of a double refraction of the sunlight, during the time the moon is in the Earth’s shadow. The sun’s light is refracted when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere and again when it leaves the Earth’s atmosphere on its way to the moon. (This double refraction is the same reason the sky looks blue during the day.) We consider these events almost as entertainment today – wonders to behold because of their rarity. However, in a less scientific day, such phenomena were signs and portents, considered to have meaning for humankind: warnings and

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts threats, or affirmations of a proposed action. Joel had spoken his prophecy approximately 400 years before Christ, but Peter took up the banner and recited Joel’s words as the inauguration of a new era. The winds of the Spirit had swept through the little band of believers and set them aflame with the Good News. The fear and the uncertainty of the time between Jesus’ crucifixion and the resurrection were no more. No mere lunar eclipse could scare Jesus’ disciples now. Those same men who had cowered behind closed doors following the crucifi xion were on fire and ready to tell a waiting world. This story makes me ask what it would take to get our attention, to set our churches ablaze with wonder and urgency, to be so filled with the Good News that our joy overflows onto everyone we meet. Have we forgotten the Good News? Have we grown complacent? Bored? Satisfied? Distracted? If that is the case, what will it take to get our attention? A blood moon?

Kristin Risdahl came to K nox v ille from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She attended the University of Tennessee to study interior design. Risdahl That didn’t last long. Just a few weeks into classes, she knew that wasn’t what she was called to do in life. “I decided to take an Elementary 101 class where I spent a few hours a week at an elementary school. I was immediately hooked,” she said. She knew that she had found her calling. She did her internship at Brickey-McCloud Elementary School and was thrilled when she was hired as a 4thgrade teacher the following year. Risdahl loves how her students are developing a sense of humor and are able to pick up things quickly. Risdahl enjoys teaching social studies and is a Social Studies Professional Development Specialist for Knox County. One of her tasks is to train teachers. She is also working on the socialstudies curriculum for 4thgrade students that will be implemented in the fall.

Telling Knoxville’s stories:

A walk with Laura Still By Betty Bean “Walk the streets of a city torn in two by divided loyalties and then get an overview of the fighting from the observation deck of the Sunsphere. Spies, bridge burners, miracle shots, betrayal and battle.” Laura Still tells stories. She’s written plays and poetry and in the fall will publish “A Haunted History of Knoxville,” a book of ghost stories based on the guided walking tours of downtown she’s been conducting for the past couple of years. There’s the Civil War Tour (described above), a Ghost Tour, a Gunslingers’ Tour, a Musical History Tour, a Literary Heritage Tour and an Early Years Tour. She got the idea for Knoxville Walking Tours when she was working at the Visitors Center and tourists kept asking if she knew someone who could walk around with them and explain Knoxville history. When she told her boyfriend and business partner, Brent Minchey, about it, he thought she should give it a try. “He nagged me, and my friend Andie Ray nagged me, and the first tour started in June 2012,” she said. She has consulted with writer/ historian Jack Neely, who

Laura Still conducts a Ghost Tour. Photo submitted has given her access to all of his writings and research and has been a great source of encouragement. Still, whose poetry collection “Guardians” was published in 2009, would have gotten around to launching the walking-tour business sooner, but she got a scholarship to study poetry at a Marilyn Kallett seminar in Auvillar, France, that was too good to pass up. “She teaches there every

year, through the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, and had been encouraging me to apply. I finally got an application in early enough to be eligible to go, and it was great! It was a work/study scholarship, and all I had to do was wash dishes. People joked and called me Cinderella, but it really wasn’t very hard, and it didn’t interfere with writing poetry.” Originally from the TriCities, Still came to Knox-

ville when she was 20 to take her first job as a dental hygienist. “I was going to stay a couple of years, but here I am, 34 years later, still here. Knoxville does that to you.” She is the mother of two sons, Winston and Brennan Sullivan. Winston is an opera singer with a master’s degree in vocal performance from the University of West Virginia in Morgantown. Brennan is a

1. Experience

Reasons to Elect BOBBY WAGGONER

Waggoner has more than 44 years of law enforcement experience: not only working on the ground, but supervising large multi-state investigations and managing multi-million dollar budgets. He has a Master of Public Administration EFHSFF and has received police certification in three states. He served almost 13 years at the KCSO, the last six of which he was Chief of Detectives. While there, he saw first-hand where improvements need UP be made, where money is being needlessly wasted, and where resources need to be reallocated to keep the focus on Knox County’s safety.

2. Integrity Whole House Of BLINDS

$649*

Political promises and cronyism have long plagued the Sheriff ’s Office, and Waggoner pledges to put an end to it. He’ll hire the best and the brightest based on their experience and qualifications rather than their political connections. He’ll manage the budget with integrity, putting an end to unnecessary purchases and positions. Waggoner will make sure every taxpayer dollar goes to making Knox County safer.

3. Commitment to Service While growing up in the Karns community, Waggoner was strongly influenced by his grandfather, who was Knox County Sheriff for three terms, and his father, who was a detective with the City of Knoxville. They instilled in him a commitment to give back to his country and his community, CPUI PG which Waggoner did: serving in the Army and serving his community with a lifetime career in law enforcement.

4. Responsible Leadership ®

Budget Blinds offers a simpler way to shop. A house full of our faux wood blinds, including professional measure for $649*. It’s countless possibilities – made simple and straightforward.

In recent years, an increasing number of KCSO officers have been caught overstepping their authority. Whether it’s making a teenager spin on a bat or unlawfully confiscating football tickets to resell, it’s unacceptable and it’s an abuse of power. Just like a successful football coach keeps his players in line, a Theriff sets the example for discipline and accountability. Waggoner has a proven track record of being a respected mentor and providing mature, responsible leadership.

5. Professionalism Just a few months ago, the current Theriff made national news when he made a controversial statement that he would stack immigrants in the Knox County jail like “cordwood.” Waggoner will be a full-time Theriff who will not embarrass the community with his words or actions. He’ll be tough but fair, and will enforce the law equally to all.

Summer fun for preschoolers

Stories in the garden By Betty By Bet ettty ty Bean Bea an Looking for a fun, educational, no-cost spring and summer activity for preschoolers in a beautiful setting close to home? Check out Stories in the Garden at Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum at 1 p.m. every Wednesday until Halloween, sponsored by the University of Tennessee’s ECO Garden project. ECO stands for “Every Child Outdoors,” says Wendy Prothro Howard, ECO Garden program coordinator. The project is funded by the Tennessee Department of Health through a “Project Diabetes” grant and administered by Howard’s employer, the University of Tennessee’s Human Dimensions Research Lab at the Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries Department. “Stories in the Garden is free, and so is everything else we do here, except summer camp,” Howard said. “It’s here on the grounds in an area called the outdoor classroom.

Wendy Prothro Howard

Th Ther ere’ e’s a bu e’ butterfly There’s butterfly garden nearby, along with a council ring built by Boy Scouts a couple of years ago and a stage under the trees.” The story hour, now in its second year, was created by UT senior Anna Robinson, who was doing an internship at the botanical garden. She and Howard worked together and designed a format that includes reading a gardening-related story, a craft, an outdoor activity and a snack. Area businesses have helped. Last year, Earth Fare came on a day the kids were reading about earthworms and brought cups of cookie-crumb “dirt” filled with granola and gummi worms – very popular, Howard said. “With Project Diabetes, we are trying to get kids learning where food comes from so they can begin to make good choices of healthy snacks as opposed to candy bars.” Howard said. “They really get excited.” Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum is at 2743 Wimpole Ave. in East Knoxville.

McCollough marks 25 years By Libby Morgan Back in 1989, M. T. Booker decided to retire from his post as State Farm Insurance agent in Maynardville. Enter David McCollough, who had been working with Phil Nichols in Halls for a couple of years. “I looked back at some photos from then. I had a lot more hair and I weighed a lot less,” jokes McCollough. He and his staff are celebrating his 25th year of providing auto, home, life and health insurance in Maynardville. The office is on Monroe Street across from the courthouse. “My first claim was probably my oddest. A car hit a horse up in Tater Valley. There were injuries involved and, sadly, the horse died. “And in 1994, a hailstorm caused a huge number of claims. I was out in it, and I experienced firsthand what

But with new regulations and legislation, we don’t do that anymore. “A lot of my business is from out-of-towners. They see that there’s a State Farm here, and they come in for coverage on their vacation property.” He mentions Darlene Wine as one of the newcomers who showed up, and stayed for 13 years, working in the office. She retired last year. Traci Hickman is the administrative assistant and Lisa Loy takes care of customer service. David’s son, Jake, has been at the State Farm office for a year and hopes to advance his career with State Farm. Info: 992-5268.

Dawn Distler, a 27-year veteran in the field of public transportation, has been chosen by Mayor Madeline Rogero as the city’s director of transit. Dawn Distler This is a new position created after the city did not renew its contract with the management company that employed previous KAT general manager Cindy McGinnis. Distler has been general manager of operations and maintenance for Davidson Transit Organization in Nashville since 2010. Prior to that, she served as director of operations, managing a $7 million budget, 270 vehicles and, in fiscal year 2013, a total of 10.45 million rides.

Charlie Daniel brings laughs By Bonny C. Millard Powell resident and long-time editorial cartoonist Charlie Daniel never had any formal art training, but he’s been drawing since he was old enough to pick up a pencil. His editorial cartoons have been making people in the East Tennessee region laugh for more than 45 years, and a favorite is “Rosy’s Diner.” Daniel spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville recently, making his second appearance at the Valued Associates Appreciation Day, and kept the crowd laughing with his stories and his “Optimist” speech of 20 questions. Daniel explained that back in the 1970s, his boss at another newspaper was president of the Optimist Club and

Playground building Parents and staff join to improve the grounds at UT’s Early Learning Center on White Avenue. The slide had been built into a dirt bank to avoid kids climbing a ladder, but then erosion became a problem. So a 10-hour Saturday workday saw old tires installed, and when pre-schoolers returned on Monday the slide was ignored for a new game of “jumping down the tires.” The project was coordinated by leaders Kathy Kidd and Katie Denton-Walls.

wanted him to talk to the organization. Despite a fear of public speaking, he ended up doing the presentation and called it his “Optimist” speech. Daniel told the group that his fear of public speaking developed in childhood when a teacher asked him, “What did God put in the ocean?” He said octopus, and she laughed at his pronunciation of the word and made him repeat it a couple of times. When his family heard the story, they laughed and made him repeat his answer. Soon total strangers in his hometown were asking him “What did God put in the ocean?” In college, he had to give a speech so he thought about that question, which would result in more laugh-

ter than speech-making. Unfortunately, the student before him told about how her brother had drowned in the ocean. The professor told Daniel that the speech would have been funny in other circumstances. Daniel decided the best way to avoid his fear of public speaking was to jump right into the “Question and Answer” portion, so he made a list of 20 questions. The first one: “What did God put into the ocean?” The cartoonist had a new list of questions and answers, including some that poked fun at his profession: What is the definition of an editorial writer? One who hides in the bushes during the battle and then comes out afterwards and shoots the wounded. During the real “Q&A,” the cartoonist said that

The I Am gospel ensemble performs a selection of favorite gospel hymns at a concert Tuesday, April 15, at Pellissippi State Community College’s Magnolia Avenue Campus. Beginning at 6:45 p.m. in the Community Room, the ensemble presents its Easter Celebration Concert. Light refreshments are available after the concert ends, about 7:30 p.m. The concert is free and the community is invited. “The gospel ensemble has been a wonderful addition to our campus. It’s one more way in which the diversity of our campus is celebrated. This event is a highlight of our spring semester,” said Rosalyn Tillman, dean of the Magnolia Avenue Campus. The ensemble is composed of Pellissippi State students and is led by Candice Dendy, associate professor of transitional studies. The group sings primarily a

cappella songs, along with a few selections with instrumental accompaniments. “We are presenting traditional hymns of Easter, as well as songs of worship and praise. We definitely want audience participation,” Dendy said. The I Am gospel ensemble was formed in 2009. The group has performed seasonal concerts, at events such as the naming ceremony of the Joe Armstrong Building at the Magnolia Avenue Campus, and at various celebrations and open houses. “The name of the group was chosen by students as a representation of our goal: to sing about our faith,” Dendy said.

side, mortgage lending markets continued to perform somewhat sluggishly. For the month, around $212 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County. While that was some $50 million more than the February total, it was well behind last March’s figure of $287 million, leading to speculation that refinancing may have reached a saturation point. So far in 2014, about $636 million has been loaned in mortgage transactions in Knox County, compared to $1.03 billion during the first quarter of 2013. The largest real estate sale of the month was for a property on Clinch Avenue in the Fort Sanders community. The parcel sold to Pinecrest 1505 Clinch LLC for $3.4 million. The most notable mortgage recording was a loan for $23,085,000 financing several Captain D’s properties in the area. With the beauty of an East Tennessee spring upon us, I would like to wish everyone a very happy, safe and joyous Easter.

He had planned to do the color highlights for the basketball game with Auburn the following Saturday. However, he died just after midnight on Monday, Feb. 19, 1968, at the age of 57. Blanchard attended First Christian Church and taught the Everyman’s Sunday school class for many years. He was a member of the Charles M. McKin-

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Full-scale heart treatment for Knoxville man Feeling tired and out of breath, Joe Mackin of Knoxville, 69, mentioned those symptoms to his endocrinologist during a routine visit in July for his Type 2 diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking back on it, you see things much clearer. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Type 2 diabetes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to pay attention because it can lead to heart problems,â&#x20AC;? Mackin said. The doctor talked him into having a stress test on his heart, which measures blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow to the heart muscle at rest and during exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ&#x201A;unked it,â&#x20AC;? said Mackin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then they did an angiogram in cardiologist Dr. (George M.) Krisleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce, to look inside my veins. I ďŹ&#x201A;unked that, too. I was 100 percent clogged on my main artery, and the other two were 75 to 80 percent blocked.â&#x20AC;? After that, the best course of action was coronary bypass surgery, also called Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). During this surgery, a healthy piece of vein is taken from the leg or other area of the body and is grafted onto the blocked coronary artery to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bypassâ&#x20AC;? the blockage. CABG requires cutting through the chest wall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major surgery and requires weeks of recovery time. Knowing that, Mackin struck a bargain with his doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well I had already planned to go to my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Sara Gray Mackin, Joe Mackin and their 13 year old bulldog, CB

wedding in Chicago,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it this far. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go to Mackinac Island for the wedding.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was pretty careful. I got a packet of nitroglyc-

erin for the trip,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nitroglycerin dilates blood vessels and is used in emergencies to improve blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow to the heart. Off he went, enjoying the wedding in Michigan. When

he got back, Mackin headed straight for Fort Sanders and heart surgery on July 25, 2013 with his cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. The surgery went smoothly, even though

Mackin had a slight setback after surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a nurse named Michelle on my ďŹ&#x201A;oor, and she picked up before anybody else that I had water in my lungs because of

her acute ears and stethoscope,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was able to correct it, she was outstanding. It might have turned into early stage pneumonia, but they treated it very quickly.â&#x20AC;? Mackin was in the hospital ďŹ ve days. After returning home, he started heart rehabilitation sessions at Fort Sanders, which he continues today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great program because they really know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing a very responsible threepronged attack of exercise, better diet and lower stress,â&#x20AC;? said Mackin. Plus, he said he is taking care of his diabetes more closely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before, I knew a lot of information but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention to it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch my diabetes closely enough,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mackin said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone who needs cardiac care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a top-notch experience, triple A,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the doctor all the way down to the people who took care of the room and cleaned it up, everybody was tremendous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really seem to have a commitment to total care, starting with surgery and continuing with the postsurgery care. A lot of times you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting into until you get there,â&#x20AC;? said Mackin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just feel very fortunate I got the right people.â&#x20AC;?

Fort Sanders Cardiac Surgery earns 3-Star Award For the second time in a row, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center earned a 3-Star Award from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. For the most recent analysis of national data from January 2012 through December 2012, Fort Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance was again in the highest quality tier. This

national designation means that Fort Sanders is among the top 10 percent of cardiac surgery centers in the United States, based on a complex set of measurements considering severity of illness, complications from surgery, hospital stay and overall outcomes afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Washington, they consider this the gold standard for looking at how well cardiac surgery programs do,â&#x20AC;? said cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Lacy Harville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that we got this, but it really speaks to the dedication of the

whole heart team.â&#x20AC;? Harville explained that it takes dozens of staff members, from surgeons and nurses to technicians and staff, to care for each patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just all of us, taking care of patients,â&#x20AC;? Harville said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do, and minimize the likelihood of problems occurring.â&#x20AC;? The award focused on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, commonly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;cabbage.â&#x20AC;? It is a surgical procedure in which arteries or veins from other parts

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put a lot of processes in place to get better and better at what we do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Lacy Harville of the body are grafted onto heart arteries to bypass blockages. It is a very detailed surgery, and many things can go wrong, said Harville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you do enough high risk surgery, which heart surgery is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always going to have a

great outcome,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you want someone with a great batting average, and Fort Sanders is really good at all positions.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to look at more than just numbers, but patients are in very good hands at Fort Sanders.â&#x20AC;?
