Wow! It’s amazing what a small group of dedicated volunteers can accomplish. The Knox County school board paused to honor the Halls Crossroads Women’s League last week. President Mariblair Smith and members Janis Crye and Bonnie Gombos represented the group. Scott Bacon is supervisor of Partners in Education, which coordinates donations to local schools. He said since 2005, the Halls Crossroads Women’s League “has been an active participant with schools in the Halls community,” including:

Halls High Providing $27,000 in scholarships. From 2005-09, the group awarded one $3,000 scholarship to a graduating senior. From 2010 to present, they have awarded two $2,000 scholarships annually. When the outdoor classroom was developed, the Women’s League donated $2,000 toward start-up costs and has contributed as needed since then. Contributed to Project Graduation in 2009. Halls softball received a $5,500 grant in 2010 to construct a backstop and fencing at its home field.

Rummage sale The Halls Crossroads Women’s League will hold a rummage sale 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Halls Senior Center. Donated items can be brought between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 19, or 8-9 a.m. Saturday, April 20. No clothes, please.

Community school coordinators reflect on first year By Wendy Smith There are still kinks to work out at Knox County’s three new community schools. But site resource coordinators at Green Magnet, Lonsdale and Norwood elementary schools see favorable results from afterschool programs that benefit students and their families. All are optimistic that the programs will be even better next year.

The coordinators have been surprised and pleased by the organizations that have offered afterschool programming to students. Liz Thacker coordinates the program at Norwood, which serves approximately 100 students five days a week.

For example, Thacker contacted the Northwest Middle School step team to see if they would be willing to perform for her students. The coach asked if, instead, the middle school students could put on Liz Thacker a mini-camp. The camp, held last week, was fun for all. Adam Fritts, coordinator of Lonsdale’s community school, is amazed by how the need for programming often dovetails perfectly with an organization’s need to provide it. The Joy of Music School receives grants that require it to provide education, and the 90 kids who participate in Lonsdale’s Monday through Thursday com-

munity school program are a perfect match. Erika Long coordinates programming for the 60 students who attend Green Magnet community school five days a week. She’s enthusiastic about a garden club that’s being offered with the help of UT’s Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries Department and Agricultural Extension Service. Volunteers have cleaned out an old greenhouse at the school to be used during the school day as well as by community school participants. Each community school also has needs. Thacker would like to see more community buy-in. She hopes to have the opportunity to reach out to service clubs and neighborhood associations, but says there aren’t enough hours in the day. “You’re sort of a jack-of-all-

trades in this job, especially during the pilot year,” she says. “Nobody knows what you’re doing.” Fritts would like to have more volunteers at Lonsdale who can develop relationships with students and families. “My job is to put people in the same room. Our biggest successes are correlated with that happening,” he says. The school’s involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee is one example. Green Magnet’s biggest challenge came from starting the community school at the end of October after kids were already involved in other programs, Long says. While the school has offered workshops on truancy and testtaking, it hasn’t yet been able to

Corey’s leather creations include a wrapped hand mirror, dogwood earrings, belts, masks, feathers, majolica-decorated dishes, bracelets, a pocket wall hanging, wallets, a headdress and other works in progress.

Life in leather If it’s leather, she can make it. Diane Corey is getting ready for the Dogwood Art DeTour, a weekend of open working studios of area artists. Diane started working with leather in the early ’70s with her late husband, John Corey, well-known to locals at Troll and Co. on Cumberland Avenue. John was a featured craftsperson at Dollywood in the ’80s, and the couple owned and ran a store in Pigeon Forge, The Leathercrafter, throughout the ’90s. In 1999, they bought a Tandy Leather location in West Knoxville and changed the name to KC Leatherwerks to reflect

their on-site craftsmanship. When Diane lost her husband in 2005, she maintained the store for another few years, but knew she wanted to be proactive and spread her creative wings without the commute, the long hours and having to react to customers’ daily supply purchases. Her home studio was already set up, so a couple of years ago, she gave herself the freedom she always wanted.

(And, to further her quest, she jumped out of an airplane and started running marathons.) Corey is having a blast making all kinds of things out of leather, and using an amazing array of decorative accoutrements, such as old watch faces and computer chips. She and a friend are creating costumes combining leather and chain mail for a steampunk theme fashion event. She’s working on a set of doll clothes to submit to an international competition of leather artistry. She’s tweaking her method of forming her majolica-style decorated leather into bowls and plates. She’s perfecting the creation of leather feather jewelry. Examples of her “cuir bouilli” (French for “to boil”), or wet-formed leather, are all around her studio in the form of masks, flowers and lots of other shapes. The method was used on thick leather in medieval times to make arrow-proof armor. Of the several heavy-duty sewing machines she has collected through the years, Corey says, “Each time we got one of these machines, we wondered how we did without it.” Beautiful sturdy belts are

Troy Lawson holds his sparrow-proof bluebird house at Racheff Gardens plant sale.

Fold-up table created by Lawson a mainstay of Corey’s work, and, along with more artistic creations, she will have many of them for sale during the studio open house next weekend. Getting away from the retail store hasn’t just given Corey time to create; she now has time to get involved in several organizations. She is a member of East Tennessee Leather Guild, the Arts & Culture Alliance, A-1 Lab Arts and Foothills Craft Guild. A few of her pieces can be seen at Liz-Beth & Co. in West Knoxville and at Parkside Open Door Gallery in the Fountain City Art Center. She’s looking forward to meeting new friends during the Art DeTour. The studio

will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 20-21, and is located at 2119 Ridgecrest Drive in Fountain City. “I’m so happy for the opportunity to share my little piece of heaven here at my home and I hope lots of people take advantage and come on by next weekend,” says Diane.

Bird is the word

Fountain Citian Troy Lawson was right in his element last weekend, surrounded by plant enthusiasts and bird lovers visiting Racheff Gardens’ annual plant sale on Tennessee Avenue. Lawson has built homes for birds for 30 years, learning new methods along the way. He builds houses for bats, big and little birds, and has developed a house for bluebirds that confounds sparrows. “When you’re trying to

attract bluebirds to nest in a birdhouse, the sparrows can beat the bluebirds to it, because they like the same setup. I saw a different kind of birdhouse in a magazine with an entry that is underneath. The sparrows can’t find the hole,” says Lawson. He had a request for a swan feeder from a customer who has, in the past, had to buy a ready-made feeder and modify it so her swans can feed while in the water. She said she might as well have started from scratch, but saw Lawson’s creations and knew he could build what she needed. He uses western cedar for long-lasting birdhouses, and sometimes roofs them with rusty metal for a rustic look. Another clever design he builds is a lightweight fold-up table. He says he has customers who backpack the table on overnight trail trips. Lawson’s birdhouses are for sale on the porch of Pratt’s Market.

Thompson Photo in Knoxville has been a loyal customer for more than 50 years. Bright bought guides there as a boy. “That’s what these are all about, getting customers into your business.” Leslie is looking to expand distribution through alumni associations and perhaps offer a special package of Peek’ Size guides during the holidays. Collectors from around the country will often call or email Sharber, whom Leslie calls “the backbone of the company,” in search of guides. The Peek guides have interesting connections to North Knox. Bright, a former Halls High teacher, taught with Phil Peek, who is Leslie’s great-nephew. The only woman ever photographed in a Peek’ Size guide, Glee Duggan, had an unidentified connection to Central High in the 1947 guide. Leslie would love to know more about her if she or her family is still in the area. Leslie also gave insight into a longtime bet Bright and I have had, which was the subject of a 2007 Shopper-News column. A few late 1950s guides refer to Halls High as the “Satans,” rather than the Red Devils. Newspaper accounts and annuals never refer to the school having changed its nickname. Peek says the school’s schedule would have been provided by then Halls High football coach Delmer Wiles.

offer creative programming for adults. She is also concerned because many of her volunteers are college students who will finish their semester in early May. In spite of the problems, Long can tell that community school participants have become more engaged. “The kids come in excited to see the volunteers. They show me excitement about what’s going on in school, and they’re interested.” The Great Schools Partnership operates Knox County’s new community schools. It subcontracts with Project Grad at Lonsdale and with the YMCA at Green Magnet. Those programs had been in place for several years, says Great Schools president Buzz Thomas, and aligning existing community resources is part of the nonprofit’s strategy for managing community schools. Since there was no program in place at Norwood, Great Schools manages it directly. Thomas says that this has been a learning year for the coordinators at the

new community schools. “Last year, we were making it up as we went. This summer, we’ll be better prepared to train new coordinators.” He anticipates adding four more community schools next year. The initiative received $500,000 from Knox County Schools last year, and the same amount is included in this year’s proposed budget. Those funds cover transportation, security officers and after-school tutoring provided by Knox County teachers, says Melissa Massie, executive director of student support services for KCS. Other expenses have been covered by Great Schools through philanthropic and business sources, Thomas says, but he is hopeful that community schools will also be added to the city budget. “This is not just about kids doing better is school. It’s also a development initiative. It’s about healthy families and safer neighborhoods, things the city of Knoxville is very interested in.”

government Off to Dallas The formal dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library will occur Thursday, April 25, in Dallas with President Obama, President Clinton and President Bush (43) attending. Among those going from Knoxville will be U.S. District Court judge Thomas Varlan and wife Danni, Knoxville attorney Bruce Anderson and wife Monique, and this writer.

Victor Ashe

Varlan was appointed to the federal judgeship by President Bush (45) and confirmed by the Senate in 2003. ■ Former Mayor Daniel Brown will hold a fundraiser for his councilmanic re-election campaign from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at the Beck Cultural Center on Dandridge Avenue. Brown is considered an easy winner in his re-election effort and is the second city incumbent running to host a fundraiser this election cycle. Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis held a fundraiser a few weeks ago at which Mayor Rogero endorsed his re-election. ■ It is somewhat surprising that legislation to eliminate our right to vote in the Democratic and Republican primaries for U.S. Senate got out of standing committees in both Houses of the Legislature. It actually got to the floor of the Senate last week where it was deferred to the last day of the 2013 session. It is sponsored by Sen. Frank Niceley and state Rep. Harry Brooks from Knox County. It would eliminate the party primaries for U.S. Senate candidates and have the Republican and Democratic members of the Legislature select each party’s nominees. How would this work in reality? Well, the legislation (which is still not dead) is vague. It says the lawmakers would meet in open session to select the nomi-

nees. It does not say if the voting would be by secret ballot or open voice vote. It does not say if the nominee would have to receive a majority of all the votes cast or just a plurality in case there were three or more candidates. It does not provide for any background checks or vetting which occur in a real campaign. The current Republican caucus is 70 House members and 26 senators for a total of 96. The Democratic caucus is 35 members. There is also Ken Williams, the sole independent who might not be allowed to vote in either caucus. For the Republican, 49 votes would be a majority, and 18 would be a majority for the Democrats. In both cases the House members outnumber the Senators by a margin of 3 to 1 and a nominee could easily win with no Senator of either party backing him/her. Each party would be denied the chance to assess candidates in the course of the primary campaign from Mountain City to Memphis. It would be ready-made for an unknown House member to piece together 49 or 18 votes (depending on party) to oust the incumbent Senator as their nominee and choose someone else. This bill has to rank as one of the more poorly conceived ideas put before the Legislature in recent years. Fortunately, it is on life support. Disconnecting the tubes is a good idea. ■ While the Rogero Administration has not annexed properties, it still inherits property coming into the city each year from annexations of 12 or more years back. As ownership changes on property for which lawsuits were filed, those lawsuits are dismissed. This is managed now by the city law department led by Charles Swanson. There are more than 150 lawsuits still pending so the city will continue to grow, but at a slow pace. Chattanooga could outpace Knoxville in the next few years and become the state’s third largest city.

More roads, less money Prepare for a head-on collision as Tennessee runs out of money to maintain and improve the state’s system of roads and highways. The problem is obvious; the solution is not so clear. Mike Edwards, president of the K nox v ille C h a mb e r, will appear on a panel this week at the Baker Center (see sidebar). He calls it “a Edwards chance to let everybody talk.” Higher gas prices, coupled with increased fuel efficiency, point to decreased gasoline consumption. Yet the state’s transportation agency (TDOT) is funded by a per-gallon tax on gasoline. “We have more people

Stacey’s world On April 2, Jay Leno got his biggest laugh line of the night at the expense of the Tennessee General Assembly: “Tennessee lawmakers have proposed a new piece of legislation that will penalize low income families by reducing their welfare benefits if their children perform poorly in school, as opposed to what happens to children of wealthy families who perform poorly in school – they become Tennessee lawmakers.” Maybe somebody in Nashville was embarrassed, but not Stacey Campfield, who had embedded the Leno monolog on his blog, Camp4U, by midday April 3. Any publicity is good publicity in Stacey’s world, and in its service, he’s been hitting hot button issues and blogging about them since his earliest days in the General Assembly, starting with his attempt to join the Black Caucus his rookie year in the state House and quickly moving into fathers’ rights, abortion, gun rights, birtherism, nullification, heterosexual sex, homosexual sex, sex education and Sex Week. Now a senator, Campfield’s carried more sexrelated bills than Bubba Gump’s got shrimp. But nothing except his misinformed ramblings about the origin of AIDS has gotten him more attention than the “Oliver Twist Bill,”

The state gasoline tax was last adjusted in 1989 and the federal gasoline tax in 1994.” Yet Tennessee is ahead of many states because of a discipline maintained over years of both Democratic and Republican legislative majorities. Tennessee does not borrow money to build roads. Edwards called the programs in many states “a Ponzi scheme” in which cur-

rent revenue goes to pay debt for previous road projects. “Our bridges must be maintained,” he said. “And a road has a fi xed life, based on slope (how well it drains) and usage. Say that’s 12 years. Then we would need to surface 1/12 of our roads every year.” Edwards said he’s no expert and was probably added to the panel to speak for businesses. He reflected: “Ike (President Dwight D. Eisenhower) raised gas taxes by 1/3 to build the interstates. And look what that did for commerce.” “Yeah,” I laughed. “Especially since the interstate system was presented as a national defense program – a way to move troops.” Reckon anyone has thought of fixing bridges and roads through the Department of Homeland Security?

Betty Bean which would cut off Temporary Assistance to Families payments for recipients whose children fail to maintain satisfactory progress in school. He rolled it through committee despite impassioned pleas from clergy and children’s advocates who say it’s inhumane. Last week he deferred it to summer study after opposition from Gov. Bill Haslam and others including staunchly conservative Rep. Todd Gardenhire of Chattanooga. Campfield says he wants to end the cycle of generational poverty. And of course he’s blogged about it: “There is a solution for this “grave indignity” perpetrated against them. Don’t apply for the money. There are plenty of others who would be happy to do what it takes to take their place.” A prudent lawmaker might have shut down the blog after getting sued for libel after falsely accusing a 2008 Democratic House candidate of being a convicted felon. But not the intrepid Stacey, who launched Camp4U on a computer issued to him shortly after being elected. In a deposition given in

the office of former candidate Roger Byrge’s lawyer David Dunaway, Campfield said the purpose of Camp4U is to inform constituents of what’s really going on in Nashville. Under close questioning, he admitted that he has collected campaign contributions via a Camp4U PayPal link. That link is no longer there. Neither is the innuendo about Byrge, which he took down but never apologized for or retracted (he blames his source, House GOP Caucus chair Glen Casada).

Knox projects Knox County Commission will consider in April contracts for: ■ Schaad Road: resurfacing from Pleasant Ridge Road to Knoxville city limits, estimated cost $122,900 with 75 percent funding from TDOT ■ West Beaver Creek Drive: resurfacing from Clinton Highway to Central Avenue Pike, estimated cost $329,900 with 75 percent funding from TDOT ■ Hendrons Chapel Road: from Chapman Highway to Kimberlin Heights Road, an estimated cost $263,325 with 75 percent funding from TDOT ■ Solway Road: resurfacing from Hardin Valley Road to Oak Ridge Highway, estimated cost $317,600 with 75 percent funding from TDOT ■ Roundabouts: at Bob Gray and Mabry Hood/ Hickey; at Bob Gray and Bob Kirby; and at Northshore Drive and Choto Road, construction contract with the Rogers Group for $1,776,782.28 of which $416,491.49 will be reimbursed to Knox County for utility line relocation.

When Dunaway pressed him about using state property to defame Byrge, Campfield had trouble differentiating between his personal property and that which is government owned: Q: “So the taxpayers have been furnishing you with a computer since 2005 for Camp4U?” A: “No.” Q: “Who pays for that computer?” A: “The state.” So, if Byrge prevails, is the state of Tennessee an accomplice, or merely an enabler?

State adopts character development program Central High School seniors Brittany Davis and Abby Booher (right) pose with state Sen. Becky Massey following the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation’s visit to the state Capitol last week. A resolution drafted by the CHS students and sponsored by Massey passed, making Tennessee the first state to adopt the Character Development Program endorsed by the Foundation. The group will hold its 2014 convention here in September. Brittany and Abby will attend UT-Chattanooga following graduation from Central High where their teacher/sponsor was Dr. Michael McDaniel.

Leonard’s rarelyknown legacy MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell Former Farragut Mayor Bob Leonard left many legacies, including a park that bears his name. But one legacy he left is known by only a few. Leonard was responsible for the creation of the Farragut Folklife Museum. Without his vision, the town would probably not have one of its prime assets. But his vision for the future has resulted in one of the premier small museums in the Southeast. The story begins in 1986, when then-Gov. Lamar Alexander challenged all towns and small hamlets to come up with something unique in celebration

of Homecoming ’86, the 190th birthday of our state. The Folklife Museum was Farragut’s answer. Leonard, who was then the town’s mayor, initially thought that the project would be temporary, lasting perhaps several months. But the town’s positive response to the museum was overwhelming, and it became a permanent attraction. Leonard appointed Mary Nell McFee as museum director and Doris Woods Owens, who had recently returned from a teaching career in Florida, as assistant director. Mary

Nell retired from the project after a year and Doris assumed the helm and guided it through its fledgling years. Today, two of the museum’s galleries are named in honor of Mary Nell and Doris. To get the project off the ground, citizens were asked to donate anything of historical value to the museum, and as a result, a diversity of artifacts became the base of the museum’s inventory. But the going was slow, and the facilities in the old building behind the Campbell’s Station Inn were quite in-

adequate. In fact, it was a former garage where the Russell family parked their dairy trucks. After several months, Leonard and Owens learned that a large collection of Admiral David Farragut memorabilia might be available for purchase. The seller was contacted and subsequently offered the collection at a price of $80,000. Led by Mayor Leonard, the town solicited funds from citizens and was able to collect about $10,000, far short of the amount needed. Part of the collection was purchased – items determined to be of greatest value – and organizers tried to get the seller to reserve the remainder of the collection until additional funds could be raised. The seller agreed, but after several months, asked that the rest of the collection be purchased. At that point, Leonard was able to get a line item in the town’s budget to

Bob Leonard purchase the entire collection. Then-Vice Mayor Eddy Ford, and his wife Linda, drove a rental truck to Washington to pick up the rest of the collection. Eddy later recalled that, although they were exhausted, they were hesitant to stop at a motel because they were fearful someone might steal the items. Without Leonard’s vision, the Farragut Folklife Museum might have been a temporary attraction. But that line item ultimately

resulted in today’s beautiful museum. I have a passion for museums, and when traveling I always try to visit all the local ones. And as I exit each, I realize how fortunate we are to have a museum of the professional quality that is seldom found in other small museums. Leonard served on the Farragut Folklife Museum guidance committee from its inception and was awarded an honorary life membership for his service. As a committee member, he offered insight and guidance that was important in shaping the museum’s policies and procedures. After his retirement, he regularly served as a docent, entertaining visitors with his knowledge. His wife, Marie, carries on the tradition as museum docent, and through her, the museum’s founding family is still a part of the Farragut Folklife Museum.

Leadership for the future By Sandra Clark Jim McIntyre’s lasting legacy as superintendent of schools will be the people he recruited, mentored and promoted to leadership positions in the system. Graduates of the Leadership Academy are already making a difference. Expect more impact in years to come. Dr. Autumn Cyprès leads the program at UT, assisted by principal-in-residence Betty Sue Sparks, a retired administrator with KCS. Cyprès introduced 10 new fellows to the school board last week. She had them wear black suits, and it looked like a convention of morticians. McIntyre reacted by replacing his customary dark blue jacket with a bright orange one, eliciting a comment from board chair Karen Carson about a former UT football coach. “But I didn’t buy the pants,” said McIntyre. Cypres said 97 individuals have applied for the program, which now has 41 fellows (of which 31 are currently in school leadership and seven are doctoral students). “Seven of the county’s 10 rewards schools have fellows as their leader,” she said. Fellows will work with a mentor principal four days each week and will attend classes at UT on the fifth day during the 15-month program. Graduates will earn a master’s or education specialist degree and a state principal license. McIntyre called the program “our pipeline to continued great leadership.” School leadership is crucial to implementing changes driven by technology and higher standards. Meet this year’s cohort: Brad Corum has worked as an assistant principal at West Valley Middle School for four years. Previously, he served as an assistant principal with both Karns and Powell middle schools. Tara Howell-Spikes has been a lead teacher at Mount Olive Elementary School and is a district-wide first grade mentor teacher. Christopher James is a special ed teacher at Fulton High School. Shelly McGill works as an assistant principal at Carter Elementary School. She has been with the Knox County Schools since 2006 where she began at BrickeyMcCloud Elementary School. Dexter Murphy has been at Pond Gap Elementary School since 2009 where he is a fifth grade teacher and mentor teacher. Megan O’Dell is an assistant principal at BrickeyMcCloud Elementary. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Tusculum

College and has served in various roles with the Knox County Schools since 2004. J. Scott Reed works as a lead teacher for Knox County Schools. Previously, he worked in special education at Richard Yoakley Alternative School. Melissa Stowers works as a graduation coach at Carter High School. She has been with Knox County Schools since 2004 when she began as an English instructor at West High School. Janene Ward works with

South College in its School of Education as an instructor. She has delivered several presentations on TEAM (Tennessee Educator Acceleration Model) and TAP. She holds a master’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. Steven York has been with West Valley Middle School since 2008. He is a sixth grade science teacher and team leader. Previously, he worked at a middle school in South Carolina for five years. He is currently enrolled in the Educational Specialist program at UT.

How to follow a legend Following a legendary coach is a daring high-wire act. History says there are far more missteps, slips, falls and crashes than happy landings. Robert R. Neyland? Harvey Robinson didn’t want to be head coach of Tennessee football in 1953 but accepted the call and tried to pick up where the General left off. He lasted two seasons. Paul “Bear” Bryant? Ray Perkins might have made it but that dreadful 5-6 season told Alabama boosters what they already feared, that the replacement was a mere mortal. The Crimson Tide could not tolerate human mediocrity. Perkins recovered but was never appreciated. An attractive offer from the Tampa Bay Bucs caused him to leave his alma mater.

Marvin West

John Wooden? Gene Bartow never accomplished perfection but had a very good record in two seasons at UCLA. He did not enjoy his work. Gene discovered unreasonable expectations and unsavory happenings behind the scenes, packed his bags and moved to Alabama-Birmingham. Bobby Knight? I didn’t even remember who was next after Indiana fired Knight. I had to look it up. The answer is Mike Davis. Tough act to follow.

Pat Summitt? Replacing one of the greatest coaches ever, historic ambassador of women’s basketball, was a monumental challenge compounded by the departure of five Tennessee regulars. Holly Warlick, 54, jumped at the opportunity. Pat passed the torch and handed Holly her whistle. The transition was not uncomfortable. The two had been partners almost forever. In the beginning, Holly was a track star at Bearden High. She came to UT on a track scholarship and walked on for baskets. She became Summit’s threetime all-American guard (1977-80). Holly went away for a few minutes, came back when called and was a very capable and totally loyal Summitt

The harder half They sent some Pharisees and followers of Herod to bait him, hoping to catch him saying something incriminating. They came up and said, “Tell us:… Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” He knew it was a trick question, and said, “Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it.” They handed him one. “This engraving who does it look like? And whose name is on it?” “Caesar,” they said. Jesus said, “Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his.” Their mouths hung open, speechless. (Mark 12: 13-17 “The Message”)

We complain about paying taxes; it’s right there in the Bill of Rights: “Americans have the right to complain about sending part of their hard-earned money to Washington.” Well, maybe it isn’t there in so many words, but still…. The fact that we surrender some of every

paycheck throughout the year, then take the time (and effort) to cope with a Form 1040, and actually sit down and write the check for what we owe (even if we grumble as we do so!) is a testament to the American spirit of patriotism. I love this country, and I pay my taxes. It is how we

Americans keep a government in place. I know that the system isn’t perfect, but a government is a whole heap better than anarchy. The Jews knew that, too. They may have hated Rome and despised Caesar, but there was peace throughout the Mediterranean at the time, and although the Jews had to pay taxes (sometimes exorbitant taxes!), they were allowed to live and worship as they saw fit. We read this passage and think, “Yeah, OK, so I’ll pay my taxes already and make Caesar happy! And I’ll go to church, too, so that God gets God’s por-

the boat. That isn’t right. There was a lot of yelling and jumping around and running up and down the sidelines to get her message across. All this was punctuated with shrill whistling. It sounded like shift change at the factory. A few other bad days encroached but Holly Warlick walked that high wire and led her team to the SEC championship. It reached the Elite Eight in the big tournament. Some of us were disappointed with the ending. Guard Meighan Simmons summed up the hurt of falling short of the Final Four. “Holly deserved it.” Hart got it right. The coach has justified her promotion. Tennessee has recruited boldly. The future is bright. Holly and the legend are forever linked.

assistant for 27 seasons. All that made her part owner of eight NCAA championships. Tennessee hung Holly’s No. 22 from the arena rafters. The Women’s Hall of Fame bestowed full honors. God gave her a star for doing her best as acting coach for “Season Impossible,” last season when Pat was ill but still on the bench. About this time last April, Dave Hart rewarded Holly with the official assignment and a salary of $485,000. She assembled an excellent staff and generated some excitement but there were doubts. Southeastern Conference coaches, asked to vote in a preseason poll, smiled and picked Tennessee to finish fifth. Holly did not flee. Tennessee lost the opener at Chattanooga. Holly was shocked but hung in there. Injuries hit hard but the new coach stayed steady in

tion as well.” But there is the rub. What exactly is God’s portion? A lot of people flinch at the notion of tithing. And maybe Jesus was talking about money in that portion of his statement too: “Give Caesar his taxes and God His tithe.” Except for one thing. The words of C. S. Lewis keep running through my head. Possibly the most breathtaking, frightening description of what it really means to become God’s man or God’s woman is described in this paragraph from Lewis’ “Mere Christianity:” “Christ says ‘Give me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to

cut off a branch here and a branch there. I want to have the whole tree down….The moment you put yourself in My hands, that is what you are in for. Nothing less, or other, than that. You have free will, and if you choose, you can push Me away. But if you do not push Me away, understand that I am going to see this job through. Whatever suffering it may cost you in your earthly life, whatever inconceivable purification it may cost you after death, whatever it costs Me, I will never rest, nor let you rest, until you are literally perfect — until my Father can say without reservation that He is well pleased with you, as He said He was well pleased with me. This I can do and will do. But I will not do anything less.’” That is the harder half. Makes paying taxes look like child’s play, doesn’t it?

News from SOS More than 75 percent of the proposed $419.86 million Knox County Schools budget will be spent on “instruction and instructional support,” primarily to compensate teachers and specialized staff. Enhancing educator compensation to attract and retain talented teachers requires competitive pay. In the 2011-12 Tennessee Education Association profile, average classroom teacher pay in Knox County ranked 35th among the state’s 136 school districts, more than $10,000 less than top-ranked Oak Ridge. Nearby high-paying systems are Alcoa (second) and Maryville (fifth) . To address this pay gap, $7.59 million of the $13.2 million increase will go to educator compensation, with $5.2 million to raise teachers’ base pay by 2.5 percent. The remaining $7.59 million of the increase will cover: moving middle and high school principals to 12-month contracts, raising nonteaching (“classified”) staff salaries by 1 percent, sustaining Advance-PerformEXcel, the strategic compensation system that rewards teachers for meeting specified performance goals, and increasing staffing for the new Northshore Elementary, schools that acquired more students in rezoning and during the Vine Middle redesign. The one decrease from last year is $300,000 in central administration staff.

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.

Union Baptist celebrates centennial By Cindy Taylor

Nicholas Steinke, 4, throws the last shovel of dirt over the time capsule.

Union Baptist Church has called a hilltop off Old Maynardville Pike home for the past 100 years. The church celebrated its centennial at a special meeting April 5. Pastor Gary Vandergriff led the service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 100 years ago today that Union Baptist Church was organized,â&#x20AC;? said Vandergriff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are here to celebrate a century of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithfulness and grace in the life and ministry of our church.â&#x20AC;? Vandergriff cited Psalm 115:1, a verse that gives all glory to God. Choir leader Berney Hill opened the service with the hymn â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brethren we have Met to Worship.â&#x20AC;? Vandergriff read a brief church history that included 28 former pastors and 19 charter members. Johnny Jones served as pastor in 1960-1961 and was Vandergriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor. Vandergriff is the longest-serving church pastor (34 years).

Debbie Rose chairs the Centennial Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned from my dad that my great-great-aunt Ida Wright was one of the founding members of the church,â&#x20AC;? said Rose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes this year even more special for me.â&#x20AC;? Rose said the church will hold special services, revivals, road trips, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best VBS ever,â&#x20AC;? an old-timers day, cookouts and special events for youth during the coming year. The celebration will culminate with homecoming Sunday, Oct. 6, followed by Courtney Powell, 12, the youngest church member; pastor Gary Vandergriff; Francis Carroll, the the 10th annual church Fall longest member on the roll; and Christine Fielden, 90, the oldest member present; prepare to Festival on Saturday, Oct. 12. bury the time capsule. Edna Smith, 96, the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest member, was unable to attend. The centennial service concluded with prayer as members gathered outside under the setting sun. A time capsule containing a CD, photographs and historical documents was buried on the church grounds. The youngest member, the oldest member present and the longest member on the church roll, along with the oldest and youngest deacons, helped bury the time capsule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As important as it is to look back on what God has done in our past, it is also important to look ahead to the future,â&#x20AC;? said Vandergriff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that if the people of Union will continue to be faithful there is a future of hope, usefulness and blessing.â&#x20AC;? The time capsule is scheduled to be opened in April Youngest deacons Harvey Wright and Kenny Hall and oldest deacons Hillard Rutherford and Bob Mynatt lower the time capsule.

Touching lives through teaching By Ruth White After almost 35 years, it’s time for Mary Garrison to say goodbye to Copper Ridge Elementary. She will go out on top, as the school’s building level Teacher of the Year. Garrison grew up wanting to be a doctor. She was influenced to help others through a family doctor that Garrison credits with providing loving care to everyone regardless of circumstances. Her parents also brought her up to give back as much as she had received. In the early 1970s a college professor discouraged her career path. “I knew that I wanted to touch lives so I prayed and God led me to the teaching profession.” Garrison spent her career at Copper Ridge and calls it home. She began teaching in the 1st grade and moved to 4th grade for most of her career. “When I had students that I taught in 1st grade (in her 4th grade classroom), I loved to see their growth and progress. Now I am teaching the children of some of my former students.” Knowing that she has touched the lives of many of her students is her biggest reward. Two of her former students returned to the teaching staff at Copper Ridge.

staff here. There is such a strong bond between the staff members, and when one hurts, we all hurt.” Garrison has been named Teacher of the Year three times during her career and has been honored by each nomination. She feels fortunate to work with a great staff and even more blessed to have good administrators. “Teachers want to stay at Copper Ridge.” Her mother recently passed away and upon retirement Garrison plans to take some time off, get things in order and spend time with her family. Don’t expect Garrison to stay away for too long and don’t be surprised if you see her in the classroom in the near future. She hopes to return to the little school on the hill and substitute from time to time. “Copper Ridge will always be a part of me.”

Shields shines at wrestling nationals By Ruth White Look out wrestling world: a powerhouse is on the rise and his name is Mason Shields. In March, Shields participated in the Amateur Athletic Association (AAU) National Tournament for youth wrestling in Kingsport and won the national title in the Tot Division for the 35-pound weight class. Shields wrestles with Praetorian Wrestling in Knoxville and has done additional training with the Knoxville Youth Wrestling Club. This is the second time he has placed in the top three at nationals, making him a two-time AAU All-American. He has been training five days a week for three months in preparation for the National Tournament. On route to nationals he placed first in the regional tournament and second in the state tournament. His brother Matthew, 8, also won the regional tournament in the Midget Division (50-pound weight class). His wrestling partner Ma-

Salute! Hodge, Smith to perform at CTE Goes Live By Libby Morgan and Jake Mabe Central High School junior Brianna Hodge and Halls High School sophomore Piper Montana Smith will represent their schools at CTE Goes Live on Friday, April 19, at Market Square. Brianna competed two years ago as a freshman at Karns High. Her family moved to the Central district last year. She also performed in the school’s recent production of “Sweeney Todd” and is interested in working in music or nursing as a career. Piper competed as the Halls High representative

Finding purpose through music By Ruth White

Brianna Hodge Piper Smith last year. She has been playing the piano since age 4 and has played bass guitar since age 8. Her dream is to major in production at Belmont, NYU or UC Berkeley. At Halls High, she has performed in the marching band, the jazz band and in the drum line.

Webb celebrates 80th birthday Naomi “Boots” Gass Merritt Webb will celebrate her 80th birthday Sunday, April 21, at a drop in gathering with family and friends at the Fountain City Lions Club. Her husband, Hugh; her children: Ginger, Eddie, Barbara, Chuck and Susan; and her 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren invite everyone to join the celebration. No gifts please, as your presence will be gift enough.

Amanda Buschermohle picked up her first guitar at the age of 8. She has taken lessons, even taught herself to play piano (not well she says), but often wonders about the origin of her musical ability. “It must have skipped a generation and come from my grandfather,” she said. “He sang opera in Germany but I am the only one in my family that can carry a tune.” If you have seen Buschermohle on stage performing in “Bye, Bye Birdie” or “Godspell” for Gibbs High, it’s obvious that she more than carries a tune. She can flat out sing beautiful songs. She enjoys performing in musicals. Her eclectic style of music helps satisfy her wide range of music tastes; she loves listening to classic rock but singing opera). Her dreams after high school are as wide open as her musical tastes. She wants to attend college and study to be a lawyer, but studying vocal performance in school isn’t out of the question. “Maybe I could be a copyright lawyer.” She has tried her hand at writing and has penned a few songs that are upbeat and happy. Buschermohle knows that she has had a good life and enjoys writing about her experiences.

Performing in front of a huge crowd is easier for her than in front of an intimate one. She’s ready for CTE Goes Live in Market Square and is excited to perform with the best artists in Knox County during the contest. She will perform “Edge of 17” by Stevie Nicks. Buschermohle hopes to visit Broadway and can even see herself on the big stage one day. If she could pick a Broadway role, it would be Christine from “Phantom of the Opera.” She hopes to perform on the opera stage in the future. “Music gives me purpose. Everyone loves music and it makes others happy. When I’ve had a rough day, I pick up my guitar and play.”

NEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION PLUS

Looking ahead after 25 years By Sandra Clark Sandy Loy is wrapping up the 25th anniversary celebration for Construction Plus Inc. by looking toward the future. “I’ve finally figured it out,” he says from his high-tech office at 601 Reliability Circle in the Koontz-Loy-Taylor office complex.

Construction Plus Inc. has earned ■ The 2010 National Small Business of the Year Blue Ribbon Award at the Small Business Summit of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ■ The Pinnacle Award for Business Excellence from the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce

Sandy Loy CCM Twenty-five years might not seem long to an entrepreneur who started a business out of high school. But Sandy earned a bachelor’s degree (with honors) in architecture from UT in 1976. He followed that with a master’s degree in civil engineering, also from UT, in 1982. Starting as a structural engineer, by age 29 he was director of engineering services for TVA. He served as regional engineer for the American Institute of Steel Construction as well as project manager for a top 100 construction firm. He advanced to director of development and construction for Belz Enterprises in Memphis before returning home to found Construction Plus in 1988. “The business has evolved, but I’ve found the right balance,” he says. Starting as a general contractor, Construction Plus Inc. boomed during the 2003-05 period as the company practiced designbuild and later construction management. “I’ve had partners and as many as 40 employees,” he says. “Water finds its own level and so have I.”

■ Three School of the Year awards from the Tennessee School Boards Association ■ The Enterpriser Award for innovation ■ The EXCEL Award as one of the 25 fastest growing companies in East Tennessee

Construction Plus is smaller now and more focused with a core of key employees and Sandy Loy’s personal involvement in every project. Glenda Tipton, director of accounting and purchasing, has worked at Construction Plus Inc. for 15 years. Dan Guidali has been a project manager with CPI for 10 years. And Eddie Elder has been a job superintendent with CPI for 12 years. “The team is strong because we’ve worked together for so long,” says Loy. “We have a strong network of subcontractors. I treat everybody as a partner.”

Panther Sark Office Building built for Dr. Jerry Fussell in 1991 and 1998. Construction Plus Inc. is now restoring the building back to “as-built” quality with new infrastructure technology for energy management and security.

Advice for a young person starting out in commercial construction? “Get as much technical education as you can,” says Loy. “And also take business courses. That’s critical to success. It’s not enough to know the task. You must have business acumen. “Learn how important customer service is.” Loy’s website features him explaining that many contractors can make a good presentation, but “nobody will outperform Construction Plus when it comes to providing service to our clients.” Finally, Sandy says construction management is the future. “Over the next 15 years, construction management, done right, will be the predominant delivery mechanism (for new construction).” Construction management is a 30-year-old industry and Sandy Loy got an early start. He holds Certified Construction Manager (CCM) certification number 1432 nationally and was the first building contractor in East Tennessee to earn the CCM designation. Put simply, the process pairs a contractor and client in a collaborative relationship to save money while ensuring client satisfaction. Clients no longer worry about a contractor cutting corners to satisfy a low bid. The

KLT Office Complex

construction manager works with subcontractors to get the best results for the best price. Loy said the key is professionalism. “You don’t want a contractor to put construction management at the top of a contract simply to avoid a competitive bid. The selection should be based on real professional qualiﬁcations. Eventually construction managers will be licensed separately. “I’ve taken both and the CCM exam is 100 times harder than the general contractor licensing exam,” says Loy. The future is bright and the “R” word (retirement) is not in the picture – for both professional and personal reasons. “The 2008 crash extended my career,” he says with a smile. Loy is raising a granddaughter, and his face lights up when he talks about her. Additionally, Sandy Loy simply likes what he does. He enjoys the relationships he’s built with the people he works with and with his clients. “When you work for a com-

pany, you’ve got one boss. When you work for yourself, you’ve got a lot of bosses and you’ve got to like them. My clients are my bosses and I love the relationships I have with them. That’s what I do best.” Technology has changed the construction business. Loy expects to go paperless this year. “We’re all on iPads, and we’ve probably saved our clients $60,000 in printing costs,” he says. “Everybody (on the job) does not need a full set of drawings.” He uses SharePoint software to post drawings for subcontractors. He sends a text when a drawing changes and the sub uses a password to access the new drawing. “Now it takes a millisecond to transmit (and document receipt of) data that used to take days,” he says. “This means I can be out in the ﬁeld more and can manage more projects simultaneously.” Kudos to Sandy Loy and the folks at Construction Plus Inc. for a successful 25 years.

Beware the donkey nod

Rick Ross joined members of the Shopper staff for lunch at Litton’s last week. Rick works in business development for Studio 4, and he’s been in sales training for 12 years. He said the worst thing a manager can do is surround herself with “donkey nods” as he moved his head up and down. Whereupon, Shannon Carey and four salespeople shrieked, “Why are we here?” and Tony Cranmore said, “Wonderful burger!”

March data encouraging for real estate By Sherry Witt The month of March brought not only the beginning of spring, but also some c ont i nued positive signs for the local real estate Witt market. The month produced 706 property sales in Knox County, compared to 639 in February and 681 in March 2012. The total value of land sold during the month was $137.5 million – about $32 million more than the ag-

gregate value of property transferred in February. March 2012 saw about $110 million worth of property sales. Mortgage lending lagged slightly behind the figures from a year ago. Although the $286 million loaned against property in March was about an $8 million improvement over February’s numbers, it fell short of the $312 million loaned during March 2012. The largest transaction of the month was the transfer of a residential complex at 424 North Cedar Bluff Road for just under $10 million. The largest mortgage transac-

tion involved financing for the same sale. The loan secured by CBRE Capital Markets came in at $7.65 million. Preliminary analysis of the first quarter data shows a sustained period of growth in property sales. Since Jan. 1, 1,946 properties have sold in Knox County, compared to 1,674 during the first quarter of 2012. There has also been an increase in the total value of land sold, as $327.8 million worth of property has transferred so far in 2013, compared to $288 million during the first quarter a year ago.

At the Tennessee Association of Christian Schools (TACS) state academic and fine arts competition in Murfreesboro, Tenn., Temple brought home 49 awards. Twenty of those awards were for first place. The Temple High School concert band took first place at state and will compete against bands from across the country at the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS) national competition in

! p m a C r e m S um screen with an SPF 15 or greater, even on cloudy days, and reapply it every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Always keep plenty of water on hand when you’re playing or exercising outside. Unless kids are exercising vigorously for extended periods, plain water – not sports drinks – is the best way to rehydrate.

Water Safety

Keep kids healthy and safe this summer (StatePoint) It’s summer, and for kids that means it’s time for sports, swimming, biking and picnics. And while active outdoor time is healthy and fun, experts say it’s crucial for parents and kids to brush up on some seasonal safety tips. According to the experts at the American Academy

of Pediatrics (AAP), the summer poses its own set of risks. In order to help parents keep kids happy, healthy and safe all summer long, they are offering these timely tips:

Sun Safety Sunburns are not only unpleasant, they are

damaging to skin health. Minimize your family’s exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation by dressing your children (and yourself for that matter) in cotton clothing with a tight weave, sunglasses and hats with a brim or bill. Stay in the shade whenever possible and use a sun-

Trampolines Even with netting, padding and adult supervision, experts say that home trampolines are dangerous. “Trampoline injuries are common, and can be potentially catastrophic,” says Dr. McInerny. “From temporarily debilitating sprains, strains and contusions to cervical spine injuries with lasting consequences, the risks associated with recreational trampoline use are easily avoided.” Thousands of people are

fence with a self-closing, self- latching gate. Parents, caregivers, and pool owners should learn CPR and keep equipment approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, such as life preservers and life jackets, at poolside.

Children should wear a helmet on every bike ride. Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. Get your child a helmet specific for biking. Football helmets, for example, are made to protect the head from other types of injuries. Teach your children traffic and bike safety before allowing them to bike in the street. For example, they should always ride with traffic and use hand signals. If your child doesn’t have the skills necessary to use hand signals without swerving, he or she shouldn’t be riding in the street. For more summer safety tips, visit the AAP’s website for parents, www. HealthyChildren.org. By taking proper precautions, you can maximize the fun this summer by keeping kids healthy, safe and sound.

Drowning is a leading cause of death among children, including infants and toddlers, but parents can make swimming safer for kids with the right safety equipment, instruction and supervision. “While swimming lessons are helpful, they are not a foolproof plan. Parents should never – even for a moment – leave children alone near open bodies of water,” says Dr. Thomas K. McInerny, the 2013 president of the AAP. Home swimming pools should be surrounded by a four-foot-high, nonclimbable, four-sided

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;See you at the finish line!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A cross-country road trip is always a challenge, but imagine traveling to all 50 states in 50 weeks and racing in 50 marathons. In a wheelchair. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ambitious goal of Paul Erway, Grant Berthiaume and Aaron Roux, three friends with spinal cord injuries who are trying to do something no one has ever done before. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re racing in the wheelchair divisions of 50 marathons in each state, all in 2013. The three men were in town recently for their 13th marathon this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the April 6, 2013, Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. They stopped by the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center first to share their stories and talk to patients there. The Patricia Neal Center is the regional leader in rehabilitating stroke, spinal cord and brain injury patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to go into a rehab facility before each marathon, to let the therapists know how we appreciate their work and to encourage other patients that life is not over,â&#x20AC;? said Erway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if something has happened, they can still carry on.â&#x20AC;? Erway, 54, has been paraplegic since a car accident in 1980. Berthiaume, 52, has been paraplegic since a construction accident in 1998. And Roux, 28, was home on leave from the Marines when a car accident left him a quadriplegic, paralyzed in his hands and legs, although he has arm mobility. Starting in January in Jackson, Miss., the three plan to finish 50 races by December with the Honolulu Marathon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make a point, that you can have a disability but you also can do great things having a disability,â&#x20AC;? said Erway, who lives in Shelbyville, Ky.

50 Ability Marathons team members (from left to right: Aaron Roux, Grant Berthiaume and Paul Erway) join Patricia Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IRC Coordinator Al Kaye in Neyland Stadium - the finish line for the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon.

Erway and Berthiaume, who is from Tucson, Ariz., cooked up the 50-races-in-50-states idea in 2010, when they were competing in the Oita International Wheelchair Marathon event in Japan, considered the premier event of wheelchair racing in the world. They were there with Knoxville native Matthew Porterfield, a former patient at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and another world-class wheelchair racer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought, well if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing the ultimate event now, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? We had heard about marathon runners doing marathons in every state, so we thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do a wheelchair marathon in every state,â&#x20AC;? said Erway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grant (Berthiaume) went back and put together the schedule, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It can be done.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

We had heard about marathon runners doing marathons in every state, so we thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do a wheelchair marathon in every state. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Erway Porterfield couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t join them because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy with a new baby and a full-time job, so Berthiaume invited his training partner Roux, also from Tucson. The three decided to use the project to raise funds and awareness for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, which provides research and support for spinal cord injury patients. They set up a way for people to donate through a website, www.50abilitymarthons.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the donations people make through our website go to the Christopher & Dana Reeve

Foundation,â&#x20AC;? said Erway. Traveling costs are covered in part by small sponsors, including Erwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer, Superior Vans & Mobility. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a consultant for the company, which adapts cars and vans for people with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cost us $5,000 alone in entry fees,â&#x20AC;? said Erway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always looking for more sponsors.â&#x20AC;? A marathon in a racing wheelchair takes about two and a half hours to complete on average, said Erway. The Knoxville race, however, has some significant

hills, and Erway popped a tire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our tires are very thin, and I always carry a spare. But I took four hours to finish,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. Aside from the races, just traveling each week between the marathons while still working a full-time job is proving to be a challenge, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes my plane gets in at 2 a.m., and I have to be up at 5 a.m. for a marathon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some weekends thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no marathon, so that means we have to make that up someplace else with two in one weekend. But each weekend has had a story.â&#x20AC;? In New Jersey, they ran into a man who happened to know Alexandra Reeve, the daughter of Christopher Reeve. In Miami, they met the owner of Shake-ALeg Miami, an adaptive water sports organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So there are pictures of us sailing the next day,â&#x20AC;? said Erway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who would have expected us to do anything like that?â&#x20AC;? Erway said his wife is supportive of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project and plans to join him for the Honolulu race. But others have wondered aloud whether he should undertake such an ambitious project. He just qoutes a statement that was printed on the wall of Christopher Reeveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For everyone who thought I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. For everyone who thought I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. For everyone who said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; See you at the finish line.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 54. Everyone has said I should take it easy, my family is very concerned, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want me to get hurt again. To them, I just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;See you at the finish line.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? See www.50mobilitymarathons. com for more information.

Introducing adaptive sports to those with disabilities

Al Kaye, IRC Coordinator

advice and lessons on adaptive sports equipment to anyone who needs it. The program is funded through the Fort Sanders Foundation with contributions from events like Eskimo Escapades,

corporate grants and private donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cooperativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in that we work with many other community groups to pull the clinics together,â&#x20AC;? says Kaye. IRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core sports include water and snow skiing, marksmanship, Alpine Tower climbing, scuba diving, cycling, paddling and golf, among others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every sport has a different safety level, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things we have

to evaluate,â&#x20AC;? says Kaye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody who has brittle bones probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t water ski, or someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had pulmonary issues might not be able to scuba because of safety concerns.â&#x20AC;? We work with many types of physical disabilities to include spinal and brain injured, stroke, amputees and neurologically impaired. The youngest has been snow skiers at age 4 through adults in their 70s. Even if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide an experience for a particular sport thru the IRC, Kaye refers people to specialists around the area as a resource. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone says I want to learn to fly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually not something we can teach them, but we do refer them to someone who can,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The IRC frequently works with people to adapt sports they might never have tried otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have folks whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never water skied in their lives, and they come out and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can do that, it is incredible.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winwin situation,â&#x20AC;? Kaye says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to help individuals get back into life and deal with their abilities. The key is when they give back to help others along the same path. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advocates for individuals with disabilities, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re advocates for prevention and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Shopper-News sales rep Brandi Davis has embarked on an interesting animal adventure lately. She’s become a “donkey mama.”

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Critter Corner Her husband and fatherin-law are the owners of “Davis Charolais” in New Tazewell. Charolais are a white breed of beef cattle, and the Davises had become very concerned for their safety. Seems some local marauders – coyotes – had begun to threaten the population. A solution was needed. Donkeys to the rescue! Did you know that donkeys will keep coyotes away? A quick search on the internet turns up many vendors in “guard donkeys,” sold just for that very purpose. Actually, they don’t seem to like dogs of any sort – wild or domesticated. In Brandi’s case, she ended up with a couple of mini-

mules. (Since mules are the result of a romantic encounter between a female horse and a male donkey, she figured that was close enough.) A friend was able to hook the Davises up with a jack named Harley and a jenny named Precious. So far, Harley and Precious seem a bit cowed (ouch), not by the cattle, but by the space. They’d come from a small farm, and now they have five acres and their own barn. Brandi, meanwhile, is learning the ins and outs of mule ownership. She’s been plying them with horse treats from Tractor Supply, and they’re warming up to her. Harley has taken to braying when he spots Brandi coming. (All power to the woman with the treats.) They both enjoy a friendly pat on the head. Everyone is settling in. And the coyotes are staying away. Stay tuned to this column for news about many interesting upcoming events, including Take Your Dog to Work Day and the Walk and Wag Dog Walk, a special fundraiser given by a mother in memory of her animalloving daughter.

The barns at The Episcopal School of Knoxville Two beautiful barns can be seen as you drive along Gilbert Road. They have become a signature of The Episcopal School of Knoxville.

Barnyard Tales Kathryn Woycik ESK headmaster Jay Secor shared some of the barns’ known history. Prior to the school’s purchase, the property was a farm. The general utility barn was built in the 1930s and served the farm’s needs. The tobacco barn was added sometime in the 1960s. The farmhouse was replaced with what is now the Bishop’s building. The 100 acre property on Gilbert Road was purchased for the school in 2000. Secor recalls having a series of parties that year to sponsor the school. In its early years, the 4-H school had a chicken and pig program. Two pigs, Wagner and Petuna, lived in the former tobacco barn. Pigs were among the contes-

The quilt square on the front of the former tobacco barn is the Cross and Crown pattern. On the side is the Hunter Star pattern. Both were painted by the 7th grade students. tants entered at the Tennessee Valley Fair. After the winter break this past January, three beautiful quilt squares were added to the barns. ESK communications director Melissa Anderson wanted to share their story along with art teacher Philip Hoffman. The idea of adding the quilt squares came from Debbie Martin, treasurer of the Parents Association. She thought it would be a fun project for the students.

She presented the idea to Hoffman. He agreed after mulling it over. The project was funded by the Parent’s Association. Hoffman involved his three 7th grade classes. He decided to have three separate quilts made by each class. Each class, comprised of 16 students, researched many patterns and selected several of their favorites. Hoffman picked the top three.

He wanted students to come up with their own designs; choose the patterns within the main pattern, the colors and the amount of colors being used. The 8x8 wooden structures were primed and sealed front and back. The project took approximately 10 weeks to complete and has brought much excitement and pride to the school. Anyone wanting to share the story of their barn can email woycikK@ShopperNewsNow.com.

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.

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.

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)

TENNESSEE NEUROPATHY CENTER Medicare, Blue Care, Blue Cross, Cigna & Most Major Insurance Plans Accepted
