Johnson on glide path to re-election

If anyone is on a glide path to easy re-election it seems to be state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who squeaked out a 299-vote win 18 months ago to win a seat in the House of Representatives. It was a district Mitt Romney carried by 1,100 votes, but several Romney voters pushed the button for Johnson, who has become one of the most popular legislators among Democrats and least popular among Republicans (who control the House by a 71 to 28 margin.)

Cookie sales reflect economy You can figure how the economy’s doing by counting customers in the cookie aisle. That’s the gospel according to Steven C. Smith, president/ CEO of Food City, who said, “Unemployed or underutilized people don’t go down the snack aisle or the cookie aisle.” And although the economy is coming back, there are slightly fewer people working today than in 2007, Smith said.

Garden party is a By Cindy Taylor

Perfect 10!’

Sylvia Williams knows how to throw a party! The director of the Fountain City Art Center more than proved that during the 10th annual garden party held at the pre-World War II home of Bill and Ginger Baxter. “It may be raining out there, but the sun is shining in here,” said Bob Meadows, art center president and master of ceremonies. His table included handcrafted miniature books for those fortunate to be his guests. Ginger and garden master-mind Bill Baxter had the hilltop grounds groomed to perfection. The colorful flowers were so bright their blooms dared anyone to miss the sun, as that ball of Fountain City Arts Center charter board member and auctioneer Kenneth Clayton Jr. honored fire was noticeably abhis dad with a postal- and journalistic-themed table at the garden party.

Hansard hits cancer at Relay for Life By Cindy B Ci d Taylor T l Kim Hansard, a local radio personality and six-month cancer survivor, spoke May 9 at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at Tennova Health & Fitness Center. Hansard has supported the event for years but says it has a new meaning for her now. “I have just recently begun to speak about my experience with breast cancer in public,” she said. “It brings on a whole new view of this event once you’ve been through the disease.” Hansard says talking about her personal battle with cancer has be-

The real ones tried to kill me.” “Cancer is sometimes hard, sometimes easier, but never fun,” she said. “The loss of your breast is hard, but once you know cancer is in your body you want it out.” The crowd was slimmer for the fifth annual event than in years past due to the weather. Those who turned out did so because their lives or the life of someone they love has been affected by the disease. Ben Easterday is North Knox chair for Relay for Life.

“Relay don’t no “R l survivors i d ’t stop t matter if it’s rain, shine, snow or sleet,” said Easterday. “We go most of the night, and we’ve seen it all.” After the opening ceremonies, the event began with a Survivor Lap followed by a Caregivers Lap. A Luminary Ceremony was held at 9 p.m. to honor those who have lost the fight against cancer and to support survivors and those currently battling the disease. The eight teams and 48 participants have raised more than $10,000, and the amount continues to rise. Kim Hansard fires up the crowd.

Lauren Kitts is heir to family tradition By Betty Bean Lauren Kitts did a good job of hanging onto her composure the first few minutes after she was declared the winner of CTE goes Live, the talent show featuring vocalists from every high school in Knox County. Sure, she shed a couple of tears when her name was called – who could blame the Powell High School junior for being overwhelmed at having prevailed over tough competition in the biggest talent contest of the year? But she pulled herself together when MC Jack Ryan summoned her up to the Market Square stage and asked her to sing an encore. She belted out the first few lines of “I Will Always Love You” (the Whitney Houston version, not the Dolly Parton one) without a hitch. And then she saw her daddy. “I’d gotten my composure back until I looked down and saw him, and I started crying again. He was laughing and crying – he said he felt like he’d won it himself. And Mama? She was just filled with

joy. I just lost it.” The contest was on the night of her 17th birthday. Offstage, Lauren is a little bashful, but singing comes as naturally to her as breathing. In fact, it runs in the family. She is the daughter of gospel singers Michael and Delilah Kitts, aka Michael and Delilah, the Sonny and Cher of gospel music (because of Michael’s diminutive stature).

She says sometimes people compare her voice to that of Adele. “I don’t see that one, though.” Her mom says she inherited her prodigious pipes from her father. “I’ve been singing since I was 2,” Lauren said. “My mom remembers me jumping up and down and singing, ‘Man, I feel like a woman.’ My mother’s a soprano and a great singer. It’s kind of hard to describe my daddy, honestly. He can sing anything he wants, and he can’t go anywhere without seeing somebody he knows.” ■

History at Heiskell By Cindy Taylor

Heiskell Senior Center members received a lesson in genealogy at the May 8 meeting. Guest speaker and genealogist Connie Miller has learned more about researching family history than she could possibly share in 30 minutes. “When I was about 9, my grandfather took me to visit a cemetery and showed me where his father was buried,” she said. “My curious mind was hooked.” During the presentation Miller explained that care should be taken when exPresenting the colors at the Emory Road DAR JAC awards ploring family history preare Cadet/Petty Officer Nathan Cooper, Cadet/Ensign Paige sented as fact.

relatives as a first approach. “Usually your relatives will have the best information to get you started,” she said. Miller says local libraries contain a wealth of information, keeping in mind that there is always room for error since much of the information is hand-transcribed. “Paper and pencil research is still your best way to start.” Miller says once you have gotten your feet wet and gleaned all the info you can from paper you can advance to Internet searches. She warned against believing what you find on Internet family trees or adopting one of them. She also cautioned researchers to look for pho-

netic spelling. “Sometimes you will find the same person on the same tree with different spellings so it looks like more than one person.” Charlie Busler dropped by the meeting to thank those who voted for him for Knox County Commission in the recent election. “You are one of the greatest precincts which voted for me,” he said. “You have already given me some things to work on, and I have already started.” Founding member of Heiskell Fire Department William Doug Davis was honored for his service to the community.

government Gloria Johnson: Glide path to reelection If anyone is on a glide path to easy re-election it seems to be state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who squeaked out a 299-vote win 18 months ago to win a seat in the House of Representatives. It was a district Mitt Romney carried by 1,100 votes, but several Romney voters pushed the button for Johnson, who has become one of the most popular legislators among Democrats and least popular among Republicans (who control the House by a 71 to 28 margin.)

Victor Ashe

The district is located mostly inside the city of Knoxville, stretching from Alice Bell to Sequoyah to South Knox County. Johnson has an uncanny sense of public relations and has made herself the poster child for those who dislike Common Core, Knox Schools Superintendent Jim McIntyre and the current GOP leadership. Team Rogero is strongly behind Johnson with its political operatives. In 2012, she made headlines and gave TV interviews against the closure of Belle Morris School as a voting precinct. She received huge publicity while her GOP opponent remained silent. This established her as a public-relations pro. As for Belle Morris, it is still not a voting place. Johnson has been criticized for not voting at all on some legislation, such as the constitutional amendment to ban a state income tax that will be on the ballot this November. She hosted a fund-raising event May 10 in Knoxville for Nashvillian Brandon Puttbrese, who is opposing incumbent state Sen. Thelma Harper, one of only two African-American Democratic women in the state Senate. Puttbrese is white. Harper has served since 1990. ■ The two Republicans who seek to replace her have not laid a glove on her to date while they are fighting each other. They are Jason Emert and Eddie Smith. Emert recently emailed this writer that, “It is unfortunate that (Smith) was terminated from his position at Sevier Heights (Baptist

Church) for cause.” When asked, Smith denied it and secured a statement from the senior pastor, Dr. Hollie Miller, that said, “Eddie Smith served at Sevier Heights Baptist Church for over 13 years and was ALWAYS one of the most faithful and effective staff members I’ve ever known. Eddie resigned his position simply because God placed a desire in his heart to make a positive difference in the government of Tennessee. The report that Eddie Smith was fired from Sevier Heights is a lie of the ugliest sort.” Score one for Smith in his battle with Emert in the August GOP primary. He faces a much tougher contest with Johnson in November. Johnson could stumble, but don’t count on it. ■ Republican Martin Daniel, who is opposing Rep. Steve Hall in the August GOP primary, is making the Rogero tax hike an issue on his campaign Facebook page. “Just remember those automatic pay raises for city employees that the City Council left intact. ...” In fairness to Hall, he has opposed tax hikes, but it is telling that Daniel feels it helps him in a Republican legislative primary to go after Rogero and her spending policies. Daniel is running in a west and northwest Knox district. He feels Hall will only say “me too” on opposing Rogero and taxes. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett is holding the line on any tax increase, as is Gov. Bill Haslam. ■ Attending the April 24 fund-raiser for Chief Justice Gary Wade’s campaign to win retention on the Supreme Court at the Pete and Cindi DeBusk home was a who’s who of Republican leaders with a few Democrats. ■ Wade is a Democrat with strong Republican ties. Jim Haslam II, father of Gov. Haslam, U.S. Rep. Jimmy and Lynn Duncan, former UT coach Phil Fulmer, former Gov. Don and Martha Sundquist, former Rep. Bill Jenkins, state Sen. Doug Overbey, along with Democratic judges Harold Wimberly and Daryl Fansler, were there. ■ The state Supreme Court will choose the next state attorney general in September for an eight-year term. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey wants a Republican to be chosen.

A-4 • MAY 19, 2014 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news

Catching up with the ‘real’ governor Ever hear of Arthur Copeland? You will. He’s about to become the poster boy of Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey’s campaign to unseat three Tennessee Supreme Court justices who are up for a “retention” election (supreme court justices are not elected outright, but the voters are given the opportunity to say whether they should get another eight-year term). Chief Justice Gary Wade, plus justices Sharon Lee and Cornelia Clark all received high marks from the panels empowered to evaluate them, with Wade and Lee receiving perfect scores and Clark getting one “no” vote. If there’s a Democrat Republicans like, it’s Wade, a respected Sevier County lawyer who managed to get himself elected mayor of Sevierville six times despite that county’s bedrock GOP leanings. He’s a personal friend of (and former coowner of the Smokies baseball team with) Gov. Bill Haslam and was appointed to the state Court of Criminal Appeals by Gov. Ned McWherter in 1988 and elevated to the state Supreme

Betty Bean Court by Gov. Phil Bredesen in 2006. (He was also Dolly Parton’s first boyfriend, as per DP herself during an appearance on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show” in the mid-’80s, during which she mentioned tomfoolery in the back of a pickup truck at the Midway Drive-In Theater, which doesn’t have a thing to do with jurisprudence but sure couldn’t hurt him any.) But back to Arthur Copeland: Think Willie Horton, the one-man crime wave who, while serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder, somehow got eligible for Massachusetts’ prison furlough program and committed rape, armed robbery and assault while enjoying his short-lived freedom, thus becoming the only issue anybody remembers from the 1988 presidential election campaign when Democrat Michael Dukakis

took on George H.W. Bush. Bush’s man Lee Atwater orchestrated a barrage of attack ads featured scarylooking-black-man mug shots. Copeland’s got scarylooking-black-man mug shots, too, from when he was convicted of a 1998 contract killing in Maryville and sentenced to death. Death penalty conviction appeals cases are mandatory (the high court must decide whether the crime was “proportionate” to the penalty), but meanwhile, Copeland’s alleged accomplice’s lawyer Herb Moncier unearthed proof that the state had withheld evidence that its only eyewitness had named a different shooter when first questioned. In 2007, the high court addressed the “proportionality” issue (ruling that the death penalty was warranted), but by the time it got back to Blount County the case was bollixed beyond repair by Moncier’s discovery of the withheld evidence. A special prosecutor came in and cut a deal with Copeland for a seconddegree murder plea and a 14-year sentence. He was

released in 2011 and rearrested in 2013 for the alleged rape of his girlfriend. This charge was dismissed three months later in Knox County. Meanwhile, Ramsey, who likes it when people call him the “real” governor, is running around the state presenting his case against the sitting justices, which not only fits perfectly with the state GOP’s “Red to the Roots” campaign to rid Tennessee of Democratic officeholders but serves as bait to entice big-money 501 (c) (4) “social welfare” organizations like the Koch brothers’ “Americans for Prosperity” into Tennessee, where they have heretofore declined to spread the wealth on the “why buy the cow if the milk is free” principle. It also gives Ramsey an opportunity to screw with a friend of the guy who’s where Ramsey thinks he ought to be – conveniently dismissing the inconvenient fact he got only 22 percent of the primary vote and finished a distant third when he ran for governor. Free advice for Gary Wade: Call Dolly. Ramsey’ll die of envy.

as the ball drifted. The referee signaled wide right. “It was just a chip shot,” said Wright years later. “I should have kicked it right through. As it was, I thought the ball went straight over the right upright. It became a judgment call.” Warren thought the kick was good and got in the referee’s face. Assistant coach Vince Gibson landed facedown on the ground, beating the grass with his fists. Wright went to the sidelines where the big rolled-up tarpaulins were parked. “I wished I could crawl inside one and stay until the next week. I cried a lot. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever been through. I wore

my roommate’s monogrammed sweater so people would think I was somebody else.” Two years later, Tennessee lost the Orange Bowl to Oklahoma, 26-24. Karl Kremser thought the Vols should have won. His 44yard field-goal attempt in the closing moments also drifted right. This was a snapshot of the fine line between victory and defeat, the awful difference in agony and ecstasy. Kremser felt he had let down those who had fought so hard to get so close. He was certain his heart was broken. At 4 in the morning, he was still in a remote corner of the hotel lobby, face in

Getting ready for school Since our retirement several years ago, I have to admit that I have become rather lazy when it comes to getting up in the morning. But I am usually awake when the school bus passes our home around 7 a.m., and it reminds me how early parents and children must get up to get ready for school. In reflecting on those “good old days,” I often consider how times have changed since the 1950s in rural Farragut. And I doubt that many school kids today would understand the challenges we had to deal with in a rural community. First, most households today have central heat and air that can be adjusted by simply touching a thermostat, so getting the house warm before taking a bath is easy. But in rural Far-

ragut, most homes were heated with coal. And on cold mornings we had to fill the coal hamper, which was outside the house. That was usually a chore done by the school kids. Likewise, I am sure most homes in our area today have indoor baths with clean, hot water, but taking a bath before school in our household was a challenge. We were fortunate to have had an indoor bathroom, but a utility district was a decade away. However, we were more

fortunate than most in that we had dug a well, and everything was great as long as there were no long periods of rain. After periods of rain, the water was often muddy. Many families without wells had to heat water on the stove to take a bath. It was always a treat to visit my brothers and sisters in Knoxville and enjoy a hot shower with clean water. I am not sure how students today eat breakfast, but breakfast at our home was a family-participation event. My mother always cooked a full breakfast every morning – country ham, sausage or bacon along with eggs and hot homemade biscuits. And the family enjoyed breakfast together. My father always helped with the cooking, and his specialty was making gravy

She’s safe here. So are her memories.

to the perfect consistency. Indeed, the Cracker Barrel could have taken a lesson from him in making gravy. We ate breakfast early because that gave me time to wash the dishes. A few days ago, I had occasion to meet a couple of my friends at the local McDonald’s to discuss a business matter over breakfast. McDonald’s is located almost adjacent to the present-day Farragut High School, and I was amazed at the number of young students who were enjoying breakfast there. I asked a couple of them if they ever ate breakfast at home. One said: “Yeah, we have Pop-Tarts sometimes.” That is not surprising since the societal environment has changed so much over the past 50 to 60 years.

dresser mirror. Oh my, that made quite a mess. More normal festivities resumed, and after two more glasses of iced tea with lemon, kicking technique came up for more discussion. Scrappy Moore, Chattanooga coach, stepped up to prove a point. His kick broke a window. Weeks later, the bill for damages landed on the general’s desk. He paged Gus Manning, then business manager, and asked in no uncertain terms who had torn up a room in Jacksonville. “General, that was the famous kicking exhibition,” said Manning, trying to keep a straight face. “Oh that,” said Neyland. “Well, don’t just stand there, pay the bill.”

Today it’s common for both parents to work, and that doesn’t leave much time to prepare breakfast. My mother never worked outside of the home, so cooking breakfast was not something she was rushed to do. Also, fast-food restaurants that served breakfast such as Hardee’s or McDonald’s were still years in the future, so eating breakfast out before school was not an option even if we could have afforded to do so. And finally, the unpardonable sin was missing the school bus. That meant a two-mile walk to school and the hope that someone would pick me up. As I look back on it now, I think the challenges we faced in getting ready for school, and particularly the many chores we had to do before and after school, created a sense of responsibility and helped develop a positive work ethic. Almost all the kids in

Old Concord grew up to be successful citizens who had careers in a variety of fields. And I am sure we never felt economically disadvantaged, even though by today’s standards we probably would fit that category. It was just the way things were, and since all families in the Village lived under similar conditions, the thought of being poor never came to mind. And even those kids who never had the opportunity to go to college were, through drive and ambition, gainfully employed, and several excelled. For example, one became the general manager of a large Home Depot after starting as a sales associate. Others became successful building contractors and small business owners. Did the challenges faced in growing up in a small, rural community contribute to their success? I tend to think that it did.

Ah yes, a kick to remember … Jacksonville, 1957 Gator Bowl. Tennessee beat Texas A&M, 3-0, on Sammy Burklow’s fourth-quarter field goal. It was a pretty little thing of 17 yards, just enough to spoil Paul “Bear” Bryant’s final appearance with the Aggies. All that evening was happy hour for the Tennessee family. Eventually, those gathered in Gen. Robert R. Neyland’s hotel suite persuaded him to demonstrate the winning kick. The game ball just happened to be at the athletic director’s fingertips. Neyland gave the ball a swift kick and smashed the

A quilt-lovers’ weekend “There’s something about wrapping yourself up in a quilt,” says master quilter Doyleen Taylor, “that makes you feel safe and comforted.” Even – maybe especially – if you’re a war veteran. On a recent visit with three members of the Smoky Mountain Quilters Guild, I learned a lot about the art and craft of quilting, as well as the tremendous compassion and camaraderie the guild’s members share. Doyleen Taylor, Leslie Hinson and Chris Calhoun hail from Utah, Connecticut and Florida respectively, but all have been Knoxville residents for decades. Doyleen is the “grande dame” quilter of the three, having practiced her art since her childhood involvement with 4-H. Leslie joined the guild in 2009 and considers herself an intermediate, and Chris, who’s been quilting for two years, is the newbie of the bunch. “These two sucked me in,” she says with a grin. They’re passionate advocates for their craft and point with pride to its crossgenerational appeal. “In our Tuesday quilting bee, the ages run from 28 to the late 80s,” says Leslie. “And we’ve even got some younger folks in the guild. There’s a 10-year-old girl who comes with her mother. “And there are some men!” All the women chuckle and suggest that the male quilters should be featured in a future Shopper story.

We want to give them a duffel bag filled with some personal and comfort items of their own, something that will give them hope and dignity.” The goal of 200 bags was exceeded the first Sunday, May 4, of the drive. A new goal of 350 was set, and the students at Grace Academy got involved. With still one Sunday to go, the second goal was exceeded, and a new goal of 700 – the number of children currently in foster care in Knox County – looks to be within reach, said the excited coordinators. Work sessions to coordinate the needs, sign up volunteers and collect the bags brought out all ages, from grandparents to preschoolers. Each bag contains age-appropriate items such as socks; underwear, pull-ups or diapers; sweat pants and Tshirts; a summer and a winter outfit; a “You Are Special” book; toy; pillow; and Bible. The Voice for the Voiceless drive will conclude on Sunday, May 25.

God, misquoted I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed!” How long? Will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back – those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart? They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal. Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. See, therefore, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use their own tongues and say, “Says the Lord.” (Jeremiah 23: 25-28a, 31 NRSV) It is a fearsome thing to wander into Jeremiah. This fierce prophet did not pull punches; he did not hesitate to call ’em like he saw ’em. And he saw the failings of his own colleagues. One wonders if he included himself in “the prophets” who had not spoken God’s own word. Called “the weeping prophet,” Jeremiah was just a boy (by his own description) when God called him to prophesy. His objections to God were overruled. God

insisted Jeremiah was to be God’s own voice. Jeremiah obeyed but carried the burden of God’s word with fear and trembling and great sadness. God had harsh things to say through Jeremiah. God berated the other prophets, who had freelanced, saying what they thought about the shape of the world in general, and the Children of Israel in particular, rather than accurately conveying God’s own message. God had opinions that

Reed honored by Rotary Club By Ruth White Halls Middle School teacher Romy Reed was recently honored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville as their Teacher of the Year at the secondary education level. Reed has been teaching special education for seven years and was “blessed to become part of the staff” at Halls Middle School. She said she has worked with some of the most outstanding colleagues and made some of the best memories during her time there. She knows her profession requires a lot of patience and flexibility, and she feels blessed to be able to do what she loves and work with such amazing students on a regular basis. “My students bring me so much unconditional and genuine love, joy and happiness. There is never a dull moment, and I have

Romy Reed learned to always appreciate each day and take pride in even the smallest of accomplishments. While I may be a teacher, I feel that my students have taught me some of life’s most valuable lessons.” During the recognition luncheon, each honoree received a gift certificate to A&W Office Supplies for $250 and a check for $500.

Halls Elementary helped end the school year with the annual Bluegrass and BBQ in the park. Moving the event indoors because of rain didn’t dampen the fun. The band Shadowridge played upbeat music, and delicious barbecue and hot dogs were served to guests. There were activities for the kids, including large inflatables in the gym. One of the night’s big draws was the auction of gift baskets featuring Dollywood season passes, a boat ride and an American Girl doll.

business The Oreo matrix You can figure how the economy’s doing by counting customers in the cookie aisle. That’s the gospel according to Steven C. Smith, president/CEO of Food City, who said, “Unemployed or underutilized people don’t go down the snack aisle or the cookie aisle.” And although the economy is coming back, there are slightly fewer people working today than in 2007, Smith said. Food City hosted lunch for media types last week in Sevierville. Speaking without notes, Smith gave a sharp analysis of the economy and the ways government interferes. He sounded, for a minute, like a fellow who is running for office. “Median income has declined in nine of the last 13

years,” he said, leaving grocers “chasing fewer dollars.” Smith said Food City has captured 52 percent of the market against traditional food stores. But that drops to 26 percent when you factor in big-box stores, drug chains and others. Food City started in 1955 with Steve’s dad, the late Jack Smith, and one Piggly Wiggly store. The chain now has 107 stores, 77 pharmacies, 81 fuel centers, 13,000 associates and annual sales of $2.2 billion.

Food City serves 2.5 million customers in 980,000 households, he said. “We’re No. 1 or No. 2 in every market.” Political challenges include the requirement that the company offer health insurance to associates working 30 hours or more per week. That’s a challenge for businesses that must staff for peak shopping times. Cutbacks in SNAP (supplemental nutritional assistance program, formerly known as food stamps) have hurt grocery sales. “One in five kids lives in poverty,” he said. “The poverty rate was 14.2 percent when we declared war (on it) in 1964. It’s 15 percent today.” Until this year, the Tennessee Legislature has forbidden wine sales in grocery stores, and the stores still must get petitions signed and a positive referendum before such sales can become effective in July 2016

Kent Cooper, posting online at Congressional Quarterly, said a publicly traded financial institution has given an unsecured quarter-milliondollar loan to a Super PAC to use for independent expenditures in the 2014 primary elections. The bank later denied the loan was unsecured and said an amended financial disclosure would be filed. The Mississippi Conservatives, a Republican-oriented Super PAC supporting Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., in the June 3 Republican primary, reported it had receipts of $717,993 during the first quarter of 2014, including a $230,150 loan from Trustmark Bank in Jackson, Miss.

(and then only in counties that now have package liquor or beer sales), he said. Food City will join other grocers to support this reform. Finally, families lose income when the breadwinner drops from a $20-per-hour manufacturing job that goes offshore, for instance, to take a $14-per-hour job in the service sector. The “underutilized” workers can still “pay the mortgage and feed their family,” but you don’t see them shopping in the cookie aisle. ■ Josh Crisp to head We’re calling that ecoWellspring nomic indicator The Oreo Matrix.

News from The Knoxville Area Urban League

Knox transplant connected to local career By Phyllis Nichols Chris Qualls had bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and ma ster â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees in sports management when he moved from New Orleans to Knoxville in Nichols 2012, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to be in a new town without connections and find a job that would allow me to provide for myself,â&#x20AC;? Qualls said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a friend who had attended the same college as me in Louisiana, and she recommended the Knoxville Area Urban League.â&#x20AC;? At the Urban League, Qualls worked with Jackie Robinson, one of the non-

profit organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce counselors. Together, Qualls and Robinson found the perfect opportunity for Qualls. Today, he is employed as a merchandiser and account developer with Coca-Cola. Qualls took advantage of training courses at the Urban League that helped him secure the job. The courses provide specific skills needed in the workforce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first activity I did at the Urban League was the customer-service training and interview-skills practice,â&#x20AC;? Qualls said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without that training and Jackie Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a gift from God that I was able to work with the Urban League. They treated me like family and were always honest with me

about what I could accomplish.â&#x20AC;? The Knoxville Area Urban League believes willing adults in Knoxville should have a job that allows them to earn a decent wage and provide a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their family.

HPUD renews summer sewer credit By Sandra Clark Commissioners at Hallsdale Powell Utility District have continued the policy adopted last year in which sewer bills are averaged and discounted to avoid overcharging customers who fill swimming pools or water gardens. Sewer bills are based on the number of gallons of water used. President/CEO Darren Cardwell said the policy is for current custom-

ers only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose is to assist residential customers by allowing a billing credit for sewer service for summer usage of outside water, such as watering lawns and gardens, which may not enter the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater system.â&#x20AC;? The program has several guidelines, including: â&#x2013; The customer must have at least two months of billable water consumption in the previous calendar

year at their current location. HPUD will not use the consumption at a different address or location to calculate the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average consumption. â&#x2013; The billable water consumption for the previous calendar year will be averaged and used to make wastewater adjustments. For example, if a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water consumption for the previous year averaged 6,000 gallons per month,

their sewer charge for June, July and August would be based on only 6,000 gallons even if their water consumption was greater than 12,000 gallons in any month in this three-month period. â&#x2013; HPUD has a maximum sewer cap charge of 12,000 gallons for wastewater service. If a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usage is over the maximum 12,000 gallon wastewater cap, the customer will not

be charged for any additional wastewater service. â&#x2013; The adjustment for the June, July and August wastewater service will be applied to the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July, August and September bills. If a customer does not exceed their average metered consumption during the months of June, July and August, there will not be a wastewater service adjustment. Customers wanting ad-

Wallace was impressed when he researched the ice-making process. “Ice is one of those things, folks don’t know how important cleanliness is,” he says. “We take it very seriously. We run our ice through a water filter – it pulls out all the sediment; a dechlorinator that pulls out any contaminants; and then a water softener. We’ve been told that because of that, not only does our ice taste better, but it lasts longer. “When it drops out of the 20 LB BAG chute it’s in a bag, ready to go. And when the customers’ hands touch it, they’re the first hands that have touched the ice.”

Wallace says his 10- and 20-pound bags cost about half as much as ice available at stores. Ice can be purchased with bills, coins or credit. People can also purchase discount coupons for bulk needs and for fundraisers. Wallace makes enough to support his family – wife Lori and sons Zac, 8, and Caleb, 6 – with his day job. The IceBorn franchise will also help his family and provide a service to the community, but he sees it as a way to give back as well. “I want to donate a portion of every dollar back to charities to help veterans and their families.” He believes his choice of South Knoxville as a location was a smart business decision. “We get the perfect mix of traffic here. We get students, laborers, low-income people who sometimes don’t have a freezer. We get game-day traffic and recreation traffic.” There’s no chance of the automated machine running out of ice. “I’ve got a commercial icemaker onsite that makes about 18 pounds every 23 minutes, and we keep 6,500 pounds in storage,” he says. He’s also not worried that the machine is unattended. It has several security cameras, is bulletproof and is “fastened down like a tank.” “We don’t see us making your paper because we blew into the Shoney’s parking lot.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Second opinion gives Tellico man right treatment About three years ago, Kim Frasch of Tellico, now 65, had pain in both of his calves. Over time, it moved upward and became more intense. “As it got worse, it went into my thighs and glutes. And finally I began to lean to the left as an involuntary effort to gain some relief,” Frasch said. “My wife was worried I couldn’t stand up straight. I had sharp, stabbing pains in my legs, and standing was intolerable. I could only walk for a short period of time.” Frasch had spinal stenosis, a fairly common condition in which the spinal canal narrows. The bones of the vertebrae compress the spine and surrounding nerves, typically in the lower back. This creates pain, numbness and weakness in the legs and feet. Spinal stenosis typically comes on slowly and gets worse over time, most often affecting people over the age of 50. “Apparently, I had it for years. This is a very slow process,” said Frasch. “They said I’d had it for years and years, but it just never manifested itself.” Frasch is a business consultant in the medical field, so he did plenty of Internet research about the condition to find an area physician who could help him. Frasch consulted one surgeon, but didn’t quite feel comfortable. He then went for a second opinion to Dr. Patrick Bolt of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. He liked what he experienced. “The people are upbeat and work well together there,” Frasch said. “I have visited practices and other health care entities all over the country. I can walk into a business and tell if it is working well or needs better management. It’s one thing to entrust your care to the surgeon, but

niques, making four smaller incisions instead of one larger one. As soon as he woke up, Mr. Frasch said he immediately felt relief. “I came out of surgery after five hours, and they said, ‘Would you like to get up?’ And I said, ‘You bet.’ I got up and walked, and I was literally freely stepping, no leg pain whatsoever, tears of joy running down my face!” Frasch said he was home in two days and has walked every day since then for therapy. “Today I’m wearing my brace, and yes, I do have site pain, but it’s not such that I need to take any medication for it.” Frasch said he would recommend Dr. Bolt, Fort Sanders and their support staff to anyone facing back surgery. “You’ve got to do the work, but if you do it, your results can be stellar. I gave my caregivers five stars,” Frasch said of Fort Sanders. “When I pushed my button Kim Frasch of Tellico suffered spinal stenosis before finding relief from his pain thanks to a proand needed something, I got it, from the cedure by Dr. Patrick Bolt at Fort Sanders Regional Medica l Center. day I arrived right through discharge.” “This is what we’re striving for in his staff has to be happy and supportive. vertebrae, and then fused the two togeth- health care in this country, and I can’t say I’m very happy to say Dr. Bolt was the er using a bone graft and screws.

At that point, Dr. Bolt recommended the only permanent solution – surgery to widen and stabilize the spinal canal. Frasch underwent corrective spine surgery at Fort Sanders Regional on ■ Stop smoking.

Tips for better spine health

When is back surgery right for you? Spinal stenosis is one of the most common causes of severe back and leg pain, and also one of the most effectively treated conditions with surgery. Stenosis means “narrowing,” and it’s when the bones of the spinal column narrow from arthritis, bone spurs or other diseases. The bones then press on the spinal column or surrounding nerves, causing pain. “This is probably one of the most common surgeries that I do; it’s a very common problem. Stenosis manifests itself as back and leg pain that gets worse with walking. It’s relieved by sitting,” explained Dr. Patrick Bolt, an orthopedic surgeon at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. While medication and physical therapy can ease the symptoms of stenosis and instability, the only permanent ﬁx is surgery to widen the spinal canal space and stabilize misaligned vertebrae together. While most people don’t relish the idea of spinal surgery, Dr. Bolt said modern, minimally invasive techniques offer the chance for an otherwise healthy patient to be up and walking again quickly. Minimally invasive surgery involves several small incisions instead of one larger one, with computer-assisted imaging and microscopes used during surgery. The incisions are so small that most otherwise healthy patients can go home in about three days, Bolt said. What’s more, the pain of recovering from surgery is typically less than the pain of spinal stenosis. “I think the public has a negative view

■ Stay active and exercise every day. The couch is the worst place for your back.

■ Walk 30 minutes a day. It reduces chronic low back pain over time.

Upcoming ‘Covenant Presents’ highlights hip fracture care

Dr. Patrick Bolt of spinal surgery, but much of that is from techniques that were used in the past,” said Bolt. “Today there are many conditions that surgery can be very beneﬁcial for, such as spinal stenosis. Minimally invasive techniques can accomplish the goal with smaller incisions and a quicker recovery for the patient. You can have a great outcome.” For more information about spinal procedures at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, call 865-673-FORT (3678).

Once a month, a group of senior adults gathers at the Frank R. Strang Senior Center in West Knoxville to learn information about a variety of health and lifestyle topics called “Covenant Presents.” Covenant Health includes ten hospitals, employs thousands of medical professionals and is affiliated with more than 1,300 of the region’s elite physicians of many different specialties. The program connects medical professionals with local seniors to present health and lifestyle topics of inter est to the group. It costs $5 to attend, is open to the public, and lunch is provided. On Wednesday, May 28, Dr. Paul Yau, orthopedic surgeon at the Hip Fracture Center at Fort Sanders Regional, will talk about hip fractures. The Hip Fracture Center incorporates “best practice” guidelines and has a team of experts to get patients back on their feet. For more information about “Covenant Presents,” or about the Dr. Paul Yau pro grams and services of Covenant Health, call 865-541-4500.
