Seeking trail lovers The newest way to show Volunteer spirit is through the Trail Volunteer program.

A partnership between Knox County, the city of Knoxville, the town of Farragut, Ijams Nature Center, Outdoor Knoxville and Visit Knoxville, the program gives people who already enjoy using local trails and greenways the chance to be ambassadors for them.

Halls High’s Alumni Dinner is Saturday Three of Halls High’s finest will be inducted into the Halls High School Hall of Fame during the Alumni Association’s annual dinner Saturday, April 26.

David Wayland said Halls grads and those who attended the high school will gather at 6 p.m. for a social time. “We’ll start through the food line at 6:30,” he said.

The Halls High Jazz Band will play during the covered dish dinner. The program will include special recognition for the Class of 1964, and Wayland expects a big turnout from the Class of 1951 as well, since classmate Allen Elkins will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

New officers will be installed. Judson Palmer is president.

“We should be finished by 8:30,” said Wayland, a former president and current member of the banquet committee.

Jim McManus has promised to park a 1964 Ford near the entrance for photographs and group pictures.

Honorees for the Hall of Fame are: Allen Elkins graduated from Halls in 1951.

He served as a sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. He left the Marines in 1953 and attended the University of Tennessee, graduating in 1957.

Trustee Mike Lowe was replaced by his chief deputy, Fred Sisk, who hired Lowe back. Sisk did not seek election when John Duncan announced for the job.

Lowe is headed to court on criminal charges; Duncan resigned after paying bonuses people had not earned; and the commission appointed Craig Leuthold, a commissioner during Black Wednesday, to the job. He’s on this year’s ballot.

Greg “Lumpy” Lambert, Larry Clark, Ivan Harmon and Mark Cawood are Black Wednesday commissioners who voted for Jones and now work for him. Other voting commissioners with ties to the sheriff were Paul Pinkston, whose wife worked in inmate medical services, and Scott Moore, whose wife went to work for the sheriff after Black Wednesday.

Guthe writes about commissioners who: “… have no particular background, education or training for the position. … Only a fraction of eligible voters choose a relative unknown with perhaps questionable talent from a short list.”

Whether they advocate for government big or small, once there most never want to leave.

Williams tells art center’s history Charles Williams visited Fountain City Town Hall last week to share the history of the Fountain City Art Center, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

Ruth White

In 1979, Chloe Harrington hosted art classes in her basement – “the art cellar” as it was called – and within a year, enough women were gathering to paint that the Fountain City Watercolor Guild was formed.

The name was later changed to the Fountain City Art Guild when artist Sylvia Williams (Charles’ wife whom he met in art class at Central High School) and other individuals using different media joined the group.

By 2002, guild members wanted a place to sell art and to work. Lanelle Holley

and Sylvia Williams got the idea of using the old Fountain City library for an art center.

Williams spent the next year or so designing a format and information packets that she sent to 1,000 residents.

She met with the Fountain City Lions Club and asked to rent the old library building.

In October 2004, the first class in watercolor painting was held in the remodeled library. The first exhibit

Brannon returns to Central

Central High athletics welcomed a familiar face with new girls basketball coach Josh Brannon.

He was the coach for the boys junior varsity team and assistant coach for the boys varsity team from 2011 to 2013 before transferring to Sequoyah High School near Sweetwater to coach boys basketball.

He returns to Central with plans to generate a lot of excitement for the program. “My plans are to be proactive beginning at the middle-school level and get more girls to come out for the program and to get the student body excited about our teams.”

Brannon knows that rebuilding will require work, but he believes in the pride and tradition that Central has built. The first informational meeting had a positive turnout, and Brannon wants his team to be competitive at every game.

“Central High is a great place. The administration is top-notch, and everyone has made me feel welcome and part of the Bobcat team.”

Trail lovers sought for new volunteer program The newest way to show Volunteer spirit is through the Trail Volunteer program.

Betsy Pickle

A partnership between Knox County, the city of Knoxville, the town of Farragut, Ijams Nature Center, Outdoor Knoxville and Visit Knoxville, the program gives people who already enjoy using local trails and greenways the chance to be ambassadors for them.

“We’re going to take 75 in this first group,” says Doug Bataille, senior director of Knox County’s Parks & Recreation Department. “We may have more than 75 apply, but that’s all we’re going to use this first year because we want it to be manageable and grow it from there if we think we need to.”

Standing in the parking lot at Mead’s Quarry, jumping-off point for several trails into the Urban Wilderness, Bataille says the screening committee is looking for volunteers to cover the entire community.

“Certainly there are trails that are more popular than others, but that’s one of the things we’re going to look at in the applications,” says Bataille. “We ask you to tell us your top three trails that you use, so we’re going to try to make sure that we get a volunteer on every single trail.”

Volunteers can be adults of any age or physical condi-

Doug Bataille displays the design for the Trail Volunteer T-shirt. tion. They must be at least 18, own a cell phone and commit to volunteering on a trail at least once a week.

Bataille says they would like to finish collecting applications by the end of this week, select the top 75 applicants, have them complete a national background check and then do training. The goal is to have them out on the trails in their specially designed T-shirts by June.

Volunteers will have to pay for their background checks, but the T-shirts (and matching jackets) are being paid for by sponsors.

Bataille says the “three basic tenets” of the program are to greet, to inform and to assist.

“We want these folks to be good, friendly faces on our trail system, to be goodwill ambassadors of the community,” he says. “Where we’ve

seen this program in other communities, it works really well. You have these nice Tshirts that you’re identified by, so people know you’re approachable.”

Trail volunteers will be familiar with the trail they’re on and will be able to help with directions and suggestions for other trails that might be suitable. They will also educate others on trail etiquette and rules.

Volunteers will assist in various ways. Some can help with first aid; others will know how to repair a flat tire on a mountain bicycle. They’ll also be “eyes and ears” to observe maintenance problems on trails and report them.

“It’s great to have people out on the trails,” says Sue Stuhl, Farragut’s director of parks and leisure services.

“I think it makes people feel

more comfortable if they see a volunteer out there. We have good signage on our greenways, but we still get lots of questions.”

Brian Hann, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, expects many AMBC members to volunteer.

“A lot of our members are excited about it,” says Hann.

“Most of our members are really friendly, and they can help out other riders or hikers that are out here.

“Almost every trail system or organization like ours has a similar program, so I think this fits really nicely in our mission to assist and inform. It will blend seamlessly with what we’re doing now.”

Remembering Black Wednesday Remember when: ■ Knox County Commission meetings were punctuated by long and frequent recesses so the boys could go out back to smoke and return with done deals?

■ Mike Arms served two years on county commission while he was chief of staff to county Mayor Mike Ragsdale and nobody said squat?

■ County commissioners figured they could pick their successors after a judge booted them out of office for ignoring a term-limits referendum for 13 years?

So Black Wednesday wasn’t all bad. But Jan. 31, 2007, still lives in local infamy, and Knox newcomers who find the term a bit overwrought are probably wondering what, exactly, it was about. And what was the big deal about some old ex-sheriff?

That’s because seven years ago might as well be in the Paleozoic Era. And who remembers 1999, when Sheriff Tim Hutchison demonstrated his clout by getting Big Jim Haslam booted off the

Betty Bean Public Building Authority, which he’d chaired since the beginning of creation? They subsequently made up, but make no mistake: Hutchison was powerful in his domain, and Black Wednesday was about ego, relationships, power and money – just like any other kind of politics.

At the heart of the conflict was Hutchison’s desire to remain eligible for the lucrative Uniformed Officers Pension Plan that was on track to become law before the year was out. Second was his desire to see Ragsdale, with whom he was locked in an ongoing feud, ousted from office.

The first official act of Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, the first Black Wednesday appointee, was to create a cushy sinecure for Hutchison until the new pension kicked

in. Jones also kept Lee Tramel, a Hutchison political operative/deputy whose Black Wednesday appointment to commission proved as difficult as a breach birth on a wagon train.

Once installed, Tramel in due time voted for the UOPP. It was expected that his dominant personality would allow him to lead the charge to remove Ragsdale (it didn’t happen that way). Tramel was soundly defeated in 2008 when he ran for the commission seat to which he had been appointed (and subsequently removed by court order).

A gaggle of other former commissioners (all of whom voted for Jones) are now court officers, and Jones is considered a prohibitive favorite to be re-elected.

Trustee candidate Craig Leuthold was a Black Wednesday commissioner who abstained from voting when his father, former commissioner Frank Leuthold, was nominated to replace the ousted John Griess. Leu-

thold is expected to run a strong race, bolstered by the power of incumbency.

Black Wednesday appointee Sherry Witt’s biggest immediate problem was how to remove her Register of Deeds predecessor, Steve Hall, from the big office that was supposed to be hers after she hired him as an assistant. So she waited until he went on one of his trips to Florida and moved his crap out. She is also expected to win re-election.

How, one might ask, do these incumbents, especially Jones, escape the wrath of the voters, who have now twice rejected Hutchison by overwhelming margins?

One insider sums it up like this: “J.J. doesn’t mess with people like Hutch did. He hasn’t built the animosity.

He’s just a nicer guy. All the time Tim spent building an empire … people have to remember that they’re just temporary custodians of these offices. If you don’t, it’ll catch up with you.”

and receive comments like: “Oh, he taught my children and they just loved him.�

Frank brought excitement to a subject that is often not appreciated, and that energy set many students on a path to the appreciation of academic pursuits.

In addition to being a sought-after speaker at many area events, he also serves as music director at Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

If there is one single trait that stands out about Frank, whether he is teaching or giving a presentation to a civic group, it is the dynamic component he adds to the presentation. Quite frankly, Frank

is a “showman� and is in his element when performing.

One of the town of Farragut’s most popular programs is the periodic presentation of various historic subjects.

Frank has done several of these programs at the Town Hall and always to a packed house. One of his popular presentations is of events leading up to World War II that culminated in the attack on Pearly Harbor.

And finally, Frank and his partner, Rod Sutch, recently won the Senior Olympics in badminton in the 60-to-64 age group held in Cleveland, Ohio. I asked Frank how he developed an interest in the game, and he said that when he was very young he was walking past a neighbor’s home where they were playing badminton in their front yard. He stopped and watched the action for a while and became fascinated with the game. He thought to himself: “I can do that.� And indeed he can.

I had a recent opportunity to work with Frank on a town project – selecting and developing signage for Founders’ Park on Campbell Station Road. The project

brought together some old Concord natives who are growing fewer with each passing year. Among those were Barbara Beeler, Mona Smith and Jack Bondurant.

The project took longer than anticipated because we probably spent as much time reminiscing about life in the village during the ’50s as we did working on the project.

Frank and I meet occasionally in grocery stores and other area businesses, and we never miss the opportunity to share stories about Old Concord and the interesting people who lived there.

The legacy the Galbraith family left on music and community service is significant. And Frank’s continuation of that family involvement is a legacy to be proud of. But that’s not the most important way Frank will be remembered. His true legacy is the positive influence he had on his students – a legacy that made a difference in young people’s lives.

And as newcomers to our area seek to know more about their community, the Galbraith family name is one they are sure to encounter many times.

rity. Others become stars.

Through the years, some pretty good names have appeared on the Andy Spiva Award list; Reggie White, Keith DeLong and John Henderson come to mind.

Touch of Tennessee: There will be a touch of Tennessee on some hot coaching jobs this autumn. Kurt Roper, new offensive coordinator at Florida, is supposed to teach and refine his no-huddle, hurry-up plan of attack and save head coach Will Muschamp’s job.

Lane Kiffin is charged with leading the Alabama offense in pursuit of Auburn while keeping his mouth mostly closed and avoiding conflict with Nick Saban.

Kurt Roper was three

times at Tennessee on his way up. He was a lad playing around on the rug when his dad, Bobby, was defensive coordinator on John Majors’ staff in the late 1970s.

Kurt began coaching as a Tennessee graduate assistant in 1996. He returned in 2006 as coach of running backs.

Roper was quarterback coach for David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss (Eli Manning) and Duke. Most quarterback coaches are thought to be cerebral, easygoing, mild mannered, even soft on players. Roper is tough. “I have more of my dad’s defensive mentality with how I try to coach,� Kurt said. “It’s just the Roper coming out in me I guess.

Bruce Pearl recruited the top-ranked junior college player in the country, 6-7 power forward Cinmeon Bowers, from Chipola to Auburn.

Large catch. Bowers is famous. He does come with baggage. He was originally signed by Florida State but was released after being accused of eating marijuana in order to conceal it from police.

Junior college has a cleansing effect on top talent.

Concord’s first families: The Galbraiths Like many hamlets that grew up along transportation routes, Concord began in 1854 when the East Tennessee and Georgia Railway, now Norfolk-Southern, began laying track along Sinking Creek.

One of the large landowners, James Martin Rodgers, realized the boon this would be to the area and laid out a village of 54 lots and called it Concord, a name that was taken from the nearby Concord Cumberland Presbyterian Church where he and many of his friends were members.

One of the original purchasers of the lots was the Galbraith family, which became one of the village’s founding families. From the earliest years, the family has been active in both the civic and cultural aspects of the village. Frank Galbraith Sr., the grandfather of Frank Galbraith III, opened a mortuary in the late 1800s that served the community for many years.

Most of my knowledge of the family’s early community

involvement came from other early families, but the one family member that I know personally is Frank Galbraith III. We grew up together in the village and graduated from Farragut High School.

Although we were a few years apart in age, we rode the same school bus and participated in village activities, which were mostly church-centered events.

Frank’s mother, Mrs. Fancher Smart Galbraith, was legendary in the community and was recognized as one of the most talented pianists in East Tennessee.

She began teaching piano when she was only 12 years old, and after graduating from Maryville College in 1929, she began a career as music teacher at Farra-

Mrs. Galbraith passed away in 1967 and left a legacy that goes much beyond her musical talent. She was involved in the performing arts but always preferred to remain in the background and let others take the credit.

She believed in giving back to the community, and it is no surprise that Frank III came by his musical talent as a continuum of the family tradition. In addition to playing piano, Frank is an accomplished guitarist, and I am one of his former students. Frank teaches music in a way that inspired me to practice and look forward to the next lesson.

Not to be missed Now that spring is really here – we hope – folks are out and about, enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

It’s the season for garden prep, wildflower walks and Dogwood Trail drives.

Or you might want to consider taking in some people-created beauty.

Right now there’s a glorious house you need to see, benefiting a worthy cause.

The 2014 Knoxville Symphony League Show House had its grand opening on April 10, with a classic evening of chamber music played by Knoxville Symphony musicians.

If you’re a fan of upscale architecture, decorating and landscaping, you should take your family and friends to see the residence, located near Concord Park in Farragut, while you can. Plenty of oohs and aahs await!

It’s done in a French country style, built with empty-nesters in mind, and features the best of local designers and materials.

Guests are asked to don blue bootees over their footwear in order to protect the beautiful hardwood floors.

Scott Bishop of Westwood Antique and Design Market was thrilled to contribute to the house’s interior design.

“We did the landing and the upstairs hall,” he said.

“We started with a painted chest that has a three-masted sailing ship painted on the front and a beautiful shade of deep blue all over with gold trim. Because of that piece, we used a mixture of antique and newer

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner artwork, all of which is about water or sailing.”

Original paintings include oils and watercolors by Buck Ewing and Carl Sublett, and there’s a custom-made lamp that Bishop called “quite a statement piece.” He went on to describe a master suite “to die for” and a wonderful screened porch.

“It’s probably the best show house in five or six years – well worth the trip to see it.”

Speaking of that master suite, decorative painter Annalee Bohon of Annalee B Studios had something to say.

When designer Janice Moore hired her to paint a faux finish on the tray ceiling, she says she looked to the “classic style of antique mirrors” for inspiration.

“The brightness of the metallic silver foil is modulated by the underlying darker shades, and by the subtle overlay of a warm, antique glaze. The oversized diamond pattern reflects the scale of the room and adds interest without busyness. The overall effect is one of restful contemplation.”

Every room in the house

features similar attention to detail. Carolyn Lawrence, president of the Knoxville Symphony League, promises a “journey that will awaken each of your senses through the diverse facets of this year’s Show House experience.”

Music education is the primary philanthropy of the Knoxville Symphony League. Through events such as the Show House tour, more than $200,000 is raised in support of education each season. By visiting the house, you’ll be supporting talented young area musicians through scholarships and other funding for

the KSO Youth Orchestras.

Some symphony musicians came to the opening just for the tour. Bassoonist Aaron Apaza liked the upstairs game room. “It had a nautical theme, a really nice sitting area, a bar area and a pool table. I could definitely see spending the better part of a weekend hanging out in the game room!” he said with a laugh.

And cellist Andy Bryenton enjoyed the grand opening, noting that “a tux and blue bootees are a very interesting fashion combination.” Filling such a grand house with music was a pleasure for the musicians.

Shop East

“We played Haydn and Mozart quartets,” said Bryenton. “It’s chamber music, played in a private home.

And that’s what chamber music is for!”

Yard sale to aid ‘little white church’

By Ruth White

For 128 years, the bell at Shannondale Presbyterian Church has called neighbors to Sunday morning worship.

Weather and time have taken their toll on the bell tower, and it must be rebuilt. Plans are under way to lower the tower, rebuild and raise it to its resting place.

Repairs will also be made to the original roof tiles and chimneys.

The church has planned

Shannondale Presbyterian Church

an upscale yard sale 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17, to help pay for renovations.

Anyone wanting to donate items may bring them to the church noon-4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 9 and 10.

Help the little white church at 4600 Tazewell Pike maintain its tower’s integrity and keep its bell ringing for many years to come. Info or for big-item pickup, 456-6923.

Eating healthy desserts North Knoxville Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted Healthy Choices, a plant-based free cooking class. The event featured delectable desserts and showed how to fi x sweet treats without the sugar.

Ed Reid opened the class with a presentation on sugar. Many are aware that sugar provides empty calories. It also can cause tooth decay, heart disease and stroke. The average individual consumes 31 teaspoons of sugar a day, and the American Heart Association recommends consuming only six to seven teaspoons per day.

Reid suggested eliminating sugary drinks, substituting fruit for sweets and limiting sweets to special occasions as ways to reduce intake.

Pat Kaufmann and Kathy Reid created and shared several treats made without

adding sugar, including carob balls, strawberry sorbet, peach crisp, maple almond ice cream and lime cream pie. Each dessert provided just enough of a sweet taste to satisfy the palate and not add sugar to the dish.

The seminars will conclude with a tofu-tasting dinner at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, in the church fellowship hall. Attendees may bring their personal favorite dish using this high-protein ingredient, although it is not required to attend.

To be reproduced for distribution at the dinner, recipes should be submitted before Tuesday, May 6. Registration is needed by May 9 to be assured of samples, meal service and handouts.

Fielden, Glenn were Halls business leaders

By Sandra Clark The Halls business community has lost two iconic leaders.

Ione W. Fielden, 88, passed away April 16 at Tennova Residential Hospice.

Ione and husband Joe Fielden owned and operated American Home Furniture Co., a Halls landmark, for years, first on Stockyard Road and then in a new building on Doris Circle (now part of the Regal Entertainment Group complex). They were early and steadfast advertisers in Shopper-News.

Ione was a member of the National Interior Design Society and a founding member of the East Tennessee Interior Design Society.

She was also an officer of Fielden Furniture Co. and taught computer classes at O’Connor Senior Center. She enjoyed hiking as a longtime member of the

Happy Hikers Club.

Her passions were gardening, boating and caring for her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was a member of Central Baptist Church of Fountain City.

She is survived by sons Steve, Tom and Mike and his wife, Jean Fielden.

Ione had a way of making everything around her beautiful. Her furniture displays were classic.

Elder Glenn came to Halls to open Ace Hardware just over 10 years ago, and he passed away at age 86 at his home near Chattanooga on April 11. He is survived by his wife and their three children.

Although son Tom was president of the company

when it expanded to Halls, Elder was clearly the sparkplug. He thanked the kids from Halls High School who came to sing, and he thanked the Rev. Bruce Marston, who presented a delightful invocation at the ribbon-cutting. Elder said it was the best store opening he’d ever had.

We once called the Ace office on a weekend to check on some pre-prints. We didn’t know what to expect, but Elder Glenn answered the phone. He said he often came in on Saturdays to prepare his Sunday school lesson. He served as a deacon for more than 50 years at First Baptist Church of Chickamauga and later at Brainerd Baptist Church.

He played football at Virginia Tech and graduated with a degree in industrial engineering. He rose to the rank of colonel and regimental commander of the 700-member Corps of Cadets and marched in President Harry Truman’s inauguration parade in 1948 as a member of the regimental staff. He cofounded Ace Hardware of Chattanooga in 1969 and served as its president and board chair. The company now has stores in Cleveland, Knoxville and northwest Georgia.

I’m proud to have known Ione Fielden and wish I had known Elder Glenn better.

Both knew what it took to run a successful business.

Both will be missed.

faith Love so amazing May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything!

(Galatians 6:14-15 NRSV) Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. (“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” Isaac Watts, 1707) Sometimes I think we lose sight of the big picture.

During Holy Week we focus so intently on the passion – the suffering – of Jesus that we see him as a victim.

Don’t misunderstand me.

It is important, even necessary, that we walk with him through the last days of his earthly life. We cannot, dare not, enjoy the triumph of Palm Sunday and then skip directly to Easter morning.

If we see Jesus as a victim, however, we lose sight of the Christ. If we see Jesus as a victim, we misunderstand exactly what was going on. We forget that Jesus, even under the burden of the cross that he carried on his flogged and bleeding back, went up the hill to Golgotha of his own free will.

Remember what he had said on the Sunday before as he rode into Jerusalem on a colt, with ardent admirers putting down palm branches in the road ahead of him, the crowds shouting, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord”?

Some Pharisees urged him to put a stop to the accolades.

He countered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.” He was the King, and he knew it.

Jesus also knew that his entrance into Jerusalem – the seat of Roman power in this small corner of the vast Roman Empire – had made the Roman authorities nervous. Thousands of Jewish pilgrims from all over the known world came to Jerusalem for Passover.

The city was crowded with a polyglot population, and Pontius Pilate was respon-

sible for governing. To say that Pilate was nervous is an understatement.

To have the crowds see Jesus as the King amounted to a potential coup d’etat, if not an actual one.

That was on Sunday.

By Friday of the same week, Jesus had taught in the Temple, read and commented on the hearts of those who put offerings in the Temple coffers (I believe he still reads the hearts of people today, every time the offering plate is passed!), sparred with the chief priests and scribes, outwitted the Sadducees, eaten a final Passover meal with his disciples, been betrayed by one of the Twelve, endured a brutal beating by the Roman authorities, died a horrific execution by a method designed to inflict significant pain, and been buried and sealed in a tomb.

Did he know the end of the story when he was being tortured? There is no way we can know the answer to that. He did know, however, and said as much, that he was in God’s hands.

At the end he offered his spirit back to God, just as he had lived his life: in complete and utter trust that he belonged to God, and that God knew what God was doing. We should live so well!

Happy Anniversary in Heaven April 27 th 67 Years you walked together, Now you are both home to be forever!

Special days come and we miss you so, Yet comfort is found remembering you’re home and will never grow old!

Your examples, teachings, faith and love guide us daily!

Amanda performed an original song titled “Reality” for the schoolwide competition that brought her the first-place prize. She has been writing her own songs lately and hopes to record some in the near future.

After graduation, she plans to attend the University of Tennessee in the School of Business. Amanda wants to be a lawyer but hopes to continue singing in some capacity at the university.

She picked up the guitar at age 8 and took a few lessons, but a lot of her skills are self-taught. Amanda enjoys singing classic rock and performs operatic songs at church.

Whittle Springs kids battle bullying

By Betty Bean At first glance, “U R Beautiful,” written in big pink and blue letters on the sidewalk in front of Whittle Springs Middle School, looks like the work of a daring tagger – right smack on the school’s doorstep.

But at second glance, it’s something entirely different, and pretty wonderful.

It’s the work of Project U, a school club made up of students who want to put an end to bullying.

The Project U sponsor, Jen Tedder, is a school behavior liaison. She is

charged with working with the students to improve attendance, academic achievement and socialskill development. She says a big part of her job is “helping students find the tools that they need to overcome barriers to school success.”

Project U is a grant-funded, student-led, countywide campaign.

The chalk art on the sidewalk is just one of the group’s activities. There are reminders in the morning announcements that bullying isn’t cool, artwork and school-assembly programs.

Sixth-grader Alyssa Mynatt joined Project U because she has been a victim of bullying.

“It happened a lot in the 5th grade and the 6th, too. It got pretty bad.” Alyssa said her mother is very happy that she has joined Project U. “I haven’t been bullied in a while,” she said.

Sara Lindsey wrote a song about bullying called “Getting Up From Bullying” to encourage victims not to be dragged down when people say mean things. She performed it in assembly.

Jurnee Roper helped

with the sidewalk art and with making an anti-bullying video. At the end of the video, students can sign pledges not to bully written on cutouts of handprints and get a special wristband.

The hands will be put up in the cafeteria – “So everybody can see there are a whole lot more kids who don’t want to bully than those who do,” Tedder said.

“The whole point is accept, unite, impact.”

Project U has other activities planned this school year, including placing positive sticky notes on lockers and holding a “No Mirror Monday” when mirrors will be covered with butcher paper covered with slogans.

“They’ll say it doesn’t matter what people say, you look good. Don’t let words Whittle Springs Middle School students Sara Lindsey, Jurnee bring you down,” Tedder Roper and Alyssa Mynatt with Project U sponsor Jen Tedder. said.

Nature Play at Knoxville Zoo

By Betty Bean Visitors to the Knoxville Zoo will find an updated something old, plus a bunch of somethings new there this spring.

The “ZooChoo,” a trackless reproduction of the much-loved miniature train that used to carry kids around between exhibits, will be in service. The train tracks became problematic to maintain, so the train was mothballed but never forgotten. This spring, the zoo is rolling out the new ZooChoo, a rubber-tired conveyance that will loop around the northern end of the new Nature Play outdoor creative-play area.

Masterminded by grounds curator Jen Henderson, Nature Play will feature plants and flowers and baby animals as well as magical nooks and crannies like a vine-covered tunnel leading to a fairy garden, teepees made of living vines and mysterious doors to nowhere.

There will be an area where kids can build their own tent forts or walk into a teepee that is soon to become the frame for stringbean vines (right next to strawberry beds and other edibles).

Nature Play will be opening in the next few weeks and aims to encourage kids to use their imaginations while learning more about plants and animals.

There will also be a touch and scent garden (with some carnivorous plants) to encourage visitors of all ages to think about starting their own butterfly gardens to encourage pollinators.

Benches and chairs hewn with a chainsaw by one of Henderson’s talented coworkers will invite tired parents to rest a spell while the kids explore. Artworks

like an organic “twigloo” by Kelly Brown of Bower Bird Sculptures and Henderson’s elephant-ear bird bath (a sand sculpture of the botanical kind of elephant ear, not the kind elephants hear with) will invite the eye.

Although Henderson shares the credit for the fanciful, yet practical space with zoo administrators who are always on the lookout for ideas from other gardens, assistant marketing director Tina Rolen says Henderson is too modest.

“She’s the mastermind grounds curator, and her ideas fit perfectly with our mission,” Rolen said.

Now encompassing 53 acres, the Knoxville Zoo opened in 1948 and hosts more than 400,000 visitors annually, making it the biggest year-round attraction in Knoxville.

The beginning of the modern zoo is credited to the efforts of the late Guy Lincoln Smith II, who stepped into the zoo’s leadership in 1978 after he attempted to place his pet lion, Joshua, there and became appalled at the conditions he found. Smith took on the job as director for the salary of $1 per year, and he remade the zoo into a point of local pride. More information can be found on the zoo’s Facebook page and its website at www.knoxvillezoo.org/.

Dialogue about disability

By Alvin Nance

City unveils plans for Magnolia Corridor

By Sandra Clark As reported here last week, the city of Knoxville has unveiled plans for a model block to kick-start redevelopment of the Magnolia Corridor.

The illustration above was provided by Dawn Michelle Foster, deputy director of redevelopment. It shows the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gatewayâ&#x20AC;? to the corridor with a blend of commercial and residential land use and a forest of trees.

The designs were released last Wednesday at a

public meeting.

Mayor Madeline Rogero promised money in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget (to be released at noon Thursday) to begin.

A resident said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve studied and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned.

When are we going to do something?â&#x20AC;?

Redevelopment Director Bob Whetsel said the project will â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a couple of years to start,â&#x20AC;? but the city is moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes time,â&#x20AC;? particularly when dealing with a state road such as Magnolia.

Sketches show bicycle trails and pedestrian walkways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes the environment attractive to incentivize private development,â&#x20AC;? said council member Nick Della Volpe.

The model block will include the former Swanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery and the campus of Pellissippi State Community College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an area of immense potential, surrounded by strong neighborhoods,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time is right to start this project.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chat.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Kathy Moore, senior services manager at the disABILITY Resource Center, opened the first-ever Chatty CafĂŠ Nance meeting held at the Guy B. Love Towers social hall with more than 20 attendees in early April.

Earlier this year, the Love Towers Fellowship Association and its president, Tom Higens, saw a need for more conversation and support for the nearly 250 elderly and disabled residents at Guy B. Love Towers in North Knoxville. The association reached out to the disABILITY Resource Center for help.

Chatty CafĂŠ is a peer support group of seniors and people living with disabilities that meets every other Wednesday, with the first gathering held April 2. The program, presented by the Love Towers Fellowship Association and the disABILITY Resource Center, offers

Love Towers Fellowship Association president Tom Higens at the first meeting of the Chatty CafĂŠ at Guy B. Love Towers. Photo submitted attendees a seat at the table to discuss challenges and get information about services available in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program is for anyone who wants to talk,â&#x20AC;? Higens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chatty CafĂŠ is a place to be socially interactive. We hope Chatty CafĂŠ will help unite Love Towers residents and everyone from the community.â&#x20AC;?

Chatty CafĂŠ has two main goals: to foster social interaction between residents and to provide access to disability resources available in the community. One of the biggest dangers for seniors and people living with disabilities is isolation.

McMichael celebrates 50 years Jim McMichael wanted to attend art school after he graduated from Fulton High School. Instead he worked for a sign company, hand lettering signs.

After a few years of serving in the military, he began a sign business. Initially, he passed out business cards and worked out of the back of his 1958 Chevy. As busi-

ness grew, he transformed the basement of his Lincoln Park-area home and worked from there.

In 1971 he moved into a large metal building that was able to accommodate large trucks. In the early 1980s he expanded and began to paint trucks. Growth continued, and in 1983 he purchased his current building and Jim

the company since 1982.

Body-shop chief Clayton McKinney has been with McMichael for 28 years, and Bob Sherrod brought computer graphics to the company 26 years ago.

Jim McMichael Signs and Truck Painting is at 411 Dutch Valley Road. Info: 688-3371.

McMichael Signs & Truck Painting expanded to create vinyl wraps, lighted signs and painted signs and banners of every shape, size and color.

The company has grown to 23 employees, with some having been with McMichael for more than 30 years. The employee with the most longevity is Darryl Frazier, who has been with

Signups

Chatty CafĂŠ provides a reason and a place for residents to gather and talk.

The Fellowship Association also invites guests from local service providers to come and discuss important disability issues, such as health insurance and transportation. Love Towers residents are inviting other people living with disabilities in the community in hopes that this program will start a community-wide dialogue about disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chatty CafĂŠ fosters selfesteem, self-growth and self-confidence,â&#x20AC;?

Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. There are no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;less thanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people. If we can bring that message to anyone who thinks they are, then I think a wonderful, positive goal has been met.â&#x20AC;?

I am very proud of the Love Towers Fellowship Association and thankful for the disABILITY Resource Center for stepping up to take on this important role for our residents. I look forward to this program expanding to the entire community and to my invitation to speak because those who know me know I am pretty chatty.

are headed towards easy to access, family-friendly destinations like beaches, theme parks and zoos.

Sixty three percent of respondents said car trips are the preferred mode of travel because they are easier on the budget and also ensure that the vacation will be an adventure.

Save on Lodging, Park Admission Fees Families are increasingly looking for ways to stretch the dollar. Half of the survey respondents agreed that hotels and lodging generally eat up most of the budget. Search for ways to save in other places by being flexible with dates or traveling to locations that are off the beaten path. You can use rewards points you’ve accumulated towards lodging or airfare expenses. Some travel rewards credit cards let you use points to “pay yourself back” for any type of travel purchase through a statement credit. You can even use points to pay for theme park tickets and camp sites.

Pay with Your Card

Budget-Friendly Travel Tips With a winter that never seems to end, families are aching to enjoy some fun in the sun, turning their attention to a well-deserved getaway.

According to a recent Bank of America survey, 46 percent of Americans plan on hitting the road and organizing family-friendly vacations this year. But nearly half of these survey respondents, 48 percent, said the most difficult part of planning a trip is managing a budget.

Fun, Affordable Vacations Travel Channel host Samantha Brown has trekked the globe and is an ace at keeping costs low while maximizing adventure. She shares a few budget sav-

Most families (77 percent) pay for purchases during vacations with credit cards. This not only minimizes the amount of cash or travelers checks you should carry, but it allows you to offset costs.

Since most places accept credit cards, think about using a rewards card for big ticket expenses like gas, theme park admission and hotels. If you use a rewards credit card for those purchases, it frees up cash for smaller expenses and also accumulates points that you can use on your next vacation. Look for a card like the BankAmericard Travel Rewards card where you can earn 1.5 points for every dollar spent on purchases, every time. Then these points can be used to get a statement credit to cover your flights, hotels, vacation packages, cruises, rental cars or baggage fees.

ing tips for the millions of Americans looking to take a family vacation and ensure lasting memories.

“When you start researching vacation destinations, it’s important to keep in mind that a good rewards card can help to offset travel costs,” Brown said. “I find that using credit cards like the BankAmericard Travel Rewards credit card gives you great flexibility in how to use your points to cover travel expenses ... more than just for flights. You can book your travel whenever, however you choose so there are no restrictions or blackouts.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Quick thinking saves stroke victim’s life During a stroke, every second counts.

Ellen Sullivan of Richland, Miss., knew time was important on March 13 when her husband, Bert Sullivan, suddenly had several symptoms of a stroke. He had one previously in 2001, so she knew it was crucial to get him to a hospital quickly.

A stroke, often called a “brain attack,” is when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures.

The Sullivans were visiting with family in a Sevierville hotel. They were sitting down to breakfast when Bert’s speech became confused. “And then I saw his face start to droop. I knew he was having a stroke,” Ellen Sullivan said.

“My sister-in-law went to call 911, and the ambulance arrived quickly, and, of course, they saw he was having a stroke, too,” she said.

Emergency personnel took Sullivan to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, Fort Sanders has stroke experts on call 24 hours a day and advanced technology and physicians who can remove blood clots or repair bleeds. When a stroke diagnosis is assured, emergency personnel will take patients directly to Fort Sanders Regional.

If the diagnosis is unknown, patients are taken to Regional’s sister facility LeConte Medical Center for diagnostic testing.

“The young man who drove the ambulance was so good, we practically floated to the hospital,” said Ellen Sullivan. “They took care of Bert and me, and let me know what was going on.”

About 87 percent of strokes are caused by blood clots. If a clot is

Bert and Ellen Sullivan celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their grandchildren. The Mississippi residents found themselves at Fort Sanders Regional when visiting East Tennessee in March. Bert Sullivan received life-saving care after suffering a stroke and is now back home and undergoing therapy. diagnosed within the first three hours, it can be treated with a powerful clot-busting medication called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator).

While many people do not seek treatment during the time window (for example, if their stroke occurs during the night), Sullivan was fortunate that his stroke happened while he was awake, and that his family called for help.

Sullivan received tPA. He was also taken to Fort Sanders’ neurointerventional suite. There, neuroradiologist Dr. Eric Nyberg and diagnostic radiologist Dr. Scott Wegryn removed the blot clot in a minimally invasive procedure called brain angioplasty.

“This is a good example of an interdisciplinary team working to provide care,” said Dr. James

Hora, a neurologist at Fort Sanders who also saw Sullivan.

“The emergency room physician recognized the stroke. The interventional radiologist recorded the clot on the CT angiogram.

We got called and confirmed the stroke and discussed the options with Mr. Sullivan and his family, and we made a decision all of us together. Off he went to the neuro-

interventional suite, and he did very well,” said Hora.

Ellen Sullivan said all her husband’s treatments were finished within two hours. “We were there at 9:10 a.m. and I’d say they were done with everything at 11 a.m.,” she said.

“Dr. Nyberg came in to the waiting room, and he was so good about letting us know what was going on. He talked on the phone with my son who is a nurse in Mississippi. I thought that was going above and beyond the call of duty.”

Ellen Sullivan said she received a warm welcome at Fort Sanders.

“The people there were so nice to me,” said Ellen Sullivan. “Bert got the best of care, and the two young ladies working the desk really took care of us. Even the man cleaning the floor offered us cookies from his church. He said they were made with love for all of us.”

Bert Sullivan was able to go home to Mississippi in record time.

“They thought it was going to be two weeks, then it was one week.

Well, we were out of there in four days!” said Ellen Sullivan. “I feel like Bert got the best care and they saved his life with their efficiency and speed. They worked so well together.”

Today, Sullivan is undergoing speech and physical therapy near his home and is making steady improvement from his stroke, Ellen Sullivan said.

“We’re just praying for complete recovery. This was a very emotional, bad time,” she said.

“But at Fort Sanders you felt the comfort that you do when you’re at home.”

Recognize the signs of a stroke FAST! The early symptoms of stroke are often overlooked or ignored. If you suspect that you or a loved one is having a stroke, think FAST:

F – FACE: Look at your face. Is one side sagging?

A – ARMS: Hold out your arms. Is one arm lower than the other or harder to hold in place?

S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled?

T – TIME: Time is critical when trying to minimize the effects of stroke.

Call 911 and get to a hospital as quickly as possible. And be sure your hospital is a stroke-ready, Comprehensive Stroke Center, like Fort Sanders Regional.

Advanced stroke program recognizes certification’s one-year anniversary Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is marking its one-year anniversary of earning its Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers by The Joint Commission.

This certification recognizes that Fort Sanders has devoted significant resources to infrastructure, staff and training to provide stateof-the-art complex stroke care. As part of the effort, Fort Sanders is developing a team of neurohospitalists as well. These are neurologists who work only at the hospital and do not have a private practice of their own.

“We have neurologists in the hospital on a full-time basis,” explained

Dr. James Hora, Fort Sanders’ first neurohospitalist.

“We are hospitalbased and do nothing but see acute neurologic problems in the hospital.”

Hora said an additional neurologist will be on staff Dr. James Hora in summer 2013, and he also has a nurse practitioner working with him, Krystel Hatfield.

“I assist in seeing and treating patients alongside Dr. Hora,” said Hatfield. “I also serve as a resource for many aspects of the Stroke Cen-

ter. This includes providing education and support for nurses as well as patients and their families.”

By having dedicated staff assigned to stroke and other neurological patients, Fort Sanders is able to offer quick and quality care to anyone with a brain injury or illness.

“It makes access to specialized neurologists easier,” said Hora.

“We have 24/7 coverage, and this will provide more rapid access to a neurologist for acute neurologic problems.

“When it comes to stroke, we always say ‘Time is brain.’ The faster we can get to somebody, the better the outcome will tend to be.”

Krystel Hatfield, Nurse Practitioner at the Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional
