Fountain City gets big chicken finger Chick-fil-A ignored residents, Town Hall and council member Nick Della Volpe. Last week it installed a 40-foot pole sign topped with a giant flying chicken on Broadway in the heart of Fountain City. The sign is legal, says Sandra Clark, but hideous nonetheless.

Smith calls budget ‘sound’ By Sandra Clark The Knox County Commission will vote on Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2014 at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 28. The budget is expected to pass, probably with amendments. R. Larry Smith Anyone wanting

to speak should call 215-2534 to sign up for public forum. In an interview last week, Commissioner R. Larry Smith said the budget is sound and any surplus won’t disappear if not spent. “We don’t have to pile on now.” Smith supports Burchett’s call for a 2 percent across-the-boards pay increase for county employees. He said each percent costs about $1 million and he’d like to

see even more. “It’s been a while since the employees have had any increase.” Burchett’s budget contains no tax increase and maintains services at existing levels. It fully funds the school board’s request for $419.9 million, and provides $4 million in capital improvement funding for completion of the Karns Connector. It keeps the county on track to fulfill Burchett’s goal of reducing the coun-

ty’s debt by $100 million by the end of fiscal year 2016. Clayton Park: A possible budget amendment would include a playground structure for the Clayton Park in Halls. Smith expressed disappointment that the road into the park has not been finished. He said: “By this time next year, we will have the road and rest rooms, a picnic pavilion and possibly an amphitheater.”

Simon says: Here to stay By Betty Bean Last April, a story in the Wall Street Journal headlined “Simon offering four malls in Florida, Tennessee” caused great concern to members of the Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association because one of those properties was Knoxville Center. This confirmed rumors that Indianapolis-based Simon Prop-

New principals for area schools Three area schools will have a new principal this fall, with appointments by Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. Danny Trent, principal at Central High since 2009, will be the new principal at Farragut Middle School.He was principal at Karns Middle School from 2003-09. He worked as an administrator at Carter Middle and as a resource specialist at Halls Middle. A replacement for Trent was not named. Tiffany Dukes is the new principal at Ritta Elementary where she has been an assistant principal since 2010. She is a member of the second graduating cohort of the Principal Leadership Academy. She joined Knox County Schools in 2007 and has also taught at Gibbs Elementary. Dukes holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, both from UT.

erty Group was trying to unload the mall formerly known as East Towne, the biggest commercial entity in the neighborhood association’s territory. The WSJ story said that Simon was offering 570,000 square feet of the 970,000 square foot shopping center for sale, valued at $64.8 million. “The mall is on 48 acres at 3001 Knoxville Center Drive, five miles

from the University of Tennessee. It was built in 1984 and renovated in 1997. There are 4,700 parking spaces. Some 98,000 people live within five miles. The average household income is $48,000,” the story said. A year later, Knoxville Center is no longer for sale, and area residents, a county commissioner and a majority of City Council showed

By Libby Morgan Friday after Mother’s Day we buried our mother. Words cannot do justice to witnessing a military funeral at Arlington. We knew it was going to be the experience of a lifetime. Mary Elizabeth Rivero Morgan, better known as Bebe, was ahead of her time. After growing up in Tampa and Havana, she graduated from Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee (now FSU) just when World War II was getting serious. Both our parents were WWII veterans, Daddy seeing action at sea as a navigator and a captain of Coast Guard ships, and Momma staying stateside as a cadet ensign lieutenant in the SPARs (based on the Coast Guard motto: “Semper Paratus – Always Ready), the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve. She trained at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., and entered active service in December 1943. (It would be 30 more years before women were accepted at the academy as regular collegelevel students.) Our father, Carey Carlisle Morgan Jr., graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1940 as an engineer, but the two didn’t meet until they were both on the west coast celebrating the end of the war. His ashes were placed at Arlington more than 20 years ago. Precision is the operative word in any military ceremony, and even the draft horses pulling the caisson matched perfectly. Momma’s urn was placed inside the flag-draped coffin, along with her flag, and we solemnly followed on foot. The weather was exquisite. The flag bearers, a bugler, the guard of honor, seven service members for the volley of shots, the casket team flanking the caisson, the chaplain, the Arlington Lady – a contingent, altogether, of about

The presentation of the flag to my sister, Carol Watkins. 40 men and women in uniform, outnumbered our family group by four to one. Our final walk with Bebe was humbling. I felt I should concentrate on her memory, but the sights and sounds of our procession and the surrounding grounds of the vast cemetery pulled my thoughts into the present. The blessing of a loving family: my sister, nephew, children, grandsons and daughterin-law accompanying me in honoring my mother overwhelmed me.

After the eulogy, the folding of the flag by six service members was executed with perfect precision and was fascinating to watch. Momma died a little over a year ago, but it can take a while to schedule an inurnment at Arlington, especially when the trip included herding up her busy offspring. She had waited patiently on my fireplace mantle until we took her home to join Daddy in the Columbarium niche wall, just a few miles from where she was born in 1919.

Knoxville Center here to stay hood crowd, most of whom still call his place of employment East Towne Mall. Sterling began by asking, “Who here believes there’s hope for East Towne Mall – or Knoxville Center?” He seemed pleasantly surprised when more than half his audience raised their hands. “I want to assure you that East Towne Mall is not a mall that Simon has abandoned,” he said. “I hear people feel that way, and that’s a real concern.” So now that the mall is no longer up for sale, what’s the strategy? “Now’s the time to stop the bleeding,” Sterling said. “And I’m not a plastic surgeon. I’m a paramedic.”

He is reaching out to potential new tenants by giving them resources and finding ways to lower their risk with incentives like shorter term leases and help with marketing and promotions. He assured the crowd that he is “not trying to turn it into a flea market,” and said he aims to prove to the public at large that Knoxville Center is a safe place to do business. He also said he needs help from the city. “For retail it is vitally important to be visible,” he said. “We’ve just got one exit and one sign that says Mall Road. Usually there are multiple opportunities into a retail corridor, and we’re

missing a lot of opportunity. So what’s the next step? The first thing, we’ve got to let them know we’re here.” State law prohibits signage on I-640, and Sterling says the mall management is looking for solutions to that problem. “You’ve got trees blocking the visibility of the main economic engine in East Knoxville. There’s a way we can do this responsibly. It’s a doable deal,” he said, adding that what he wants for Christmas is for Santa Claus to take down the two bridges on the mall road and lower the surrounding berms to pre-mall elevations. The City Council members responded enthusiasti-

cally, and several indicated a willingness to help, particularly Daniel Brown, who said that the mall is vital to the interests of his East Knoxville constituents. One member of the audience said that fear of crime is the mall’s “elephant in the room.” Knoxville Police Department Sgt. Kenneth Bush, who supervises patrol officers in the mall area and also works a second job on the Knoxville Center security staff on weekends, says Justin Sterling Photo by Kevin Murphy this is a mistaken notion. “Actually, crime has de“Go back to calling it East creased at Knoxville Cen- crease of 22.5 percent.” Community activist Towne Mall.

Words that bind Soldier’s letters offer glimpse of Battle of Campbell Station

By Suzanne Foree Neal The November day in 1863 dawned rainy, cold and dreary for the widow Nancy Galbraith, who lived in the Virtue community with her children. Before the day was done, her home would become a hospital for 15 wounded Union soldiers, and a friendship would be forged that today gives Farragut residents a glimpse of life during and after the Civil War. The Battle of Campbell Station on Nov. 16, 1863, is a day etched in history for what is now the town of Farragut. One wounded Union soldier’s misfortune would lead to a life-long friendship with the “sainted woman” and her children who took care of him for 30 days after his right leg was amputated by a Confederate surgeon. The story of V.W. Bruce and his association with Nancy Galbraith and her family unfolded when a stack of letters from Bruce were donated to the Farragut Folklife Museum. They lay in a dusty box in storage until museum director Julia Jones-Barham and volunteer Barbara Beeler found them. Beeler began to read them and found the con-

nection to the battle. There are about nine letters in all, and they will be part of a new display on the Battle of Campbell Station opening June 3 at the museum. Bruce’s descriptive letters paint pictures with his words. Beeler says he writes of the war, but also wrote about his travels after the war and his daily life. V.W. Bruce was 18 and a student at Adrian College in Michigan when he joined the 17th Michigan Infantry on Aug. 2, 1862. On Nov. 16, Confederate forces overtook Bruce’s regiment, leaving seven dead and 53 wounded, including Bruce. In a letter to the editor of the Atlanta Constitution dated Dec. 1, 1898, Bruce recalls the events of that day, and Confederates who gave him aid as he lay wounded. He wrote to the paper in hopes the former Confederate soldiers would read the story and correspond with him. Bruce writes of the Confederate soldier who, when asked, removed Bruce’s boot from his foot and handed it to him. The second traded canteens with him, giving Bruce cold water from the nearby creek. The third was the surgeon who amputated

Letters and a photo with a touch of irony are glimpses into Farragut’s past. The letter was to Ann Eliza Galbraith from Union soldier V.W. Bruce, who was nursed back to health by Nancy Galbraith following a skirmish leading up to the Battle of Campbell Station in 1863. The photo shows Bruce, at right, standing beside another soldier who lost a leg and is titled “United we stand. Divided we fall.” Photos by S.F. Neal his leg. Bruce traded his new boots for the doctor’s old shoes. But the biggest praise comes for Nancy Galbraith, whose home became a hospital ward in a matter of hours. He writes, “She gave up her best room in the house with a large fireplace to use for me and my comrades to be treated and cared for by the doctor. Then next morning, Lourinda (Galbraith’s daughter) and a neighbor woman went with ropes and

brought bundles of straw on their backs a mile and a half to make beds for the wounded men to lie on.” He goes on to say that two of her sons, Abram and David, buried his foot in the backyard. He writes of neighbor women pitching in to make a Thanksgiving meal for the wounded. “… they brought a large dish of molasses candy with them and passed it to us boys as we set (sic) up in bed and we had a genuine candy pull in Dixie that Thanksgiving night in 1863.”

Bruce was discharged from the Army on March 27, 1864. He made application to the government for compensation for Galbraith for the provisions she furnished and the care she gave him and his fellow soldiers. “I furnished proofs substantiating the claim and about two weeks after furnishing the proofs, received a letter from the daughter, Miss Lourinda, informing me that they had received $357 from the government for taking care of us boys.” Bruce visited the family in 1888, four years after Nancy Galbraith died. He continued to write to several of her children. “The battle anniversaries do not bring sorrow to my heart because though I suffered a grievous loss that day of my limb. I think of that day, the kindness of your Christian mother and her loyal family fill my heart, and my good fortune that day in falling into such hands, crowds out all thoughts of misfortune to me personally.” Bruce writes poignantly again of war memories stirred during his visit to Minneapolis on April 28, 1898. “Three companies of soldiers took their departure from this city for the seat of war. About 1,000 old soldiers were in line and escorted the young soldiers to the depot. It was sad to see the noble young men go to war, but the saddest of it was to realize that many lives are to be sacrificed because of political chicanery.” The exhibit that features Bruce’s letters is part of the

Farragut Folklife Museum’s celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. “The Battle of Campbell Station” exhibit will run through Nov. 22, and will feature a variety of items related to the battle, much of which was fought on land surrounding Town Hall and in the Virtue area on Nov. 16, 1863. The Russell house at the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate soldiers. Upcoming events in celebration of the anniversary also include: June 23: Dr. Earl Hess with Lincoln Memorial University will speak at 2 p.m. at Town Hall on “The Battle of Campbell Station and the Struggle for East Tennessee in the Civil War.” Hess will describe how the battle occurred in five different places in modernday Farragut and why the battle resulted in the saving of Knoxville for the Federals and East Tennessee loyalists.

Postcards of history When Adam Alfrey was first approached about writing a book on the history of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as seen through postcards, his first question was “Why?”

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS “Why postcards? And why do this? Hasn’t this story been told already?” Being “a museum guy,” as he says, the East Tennessee History Center operations manager and curator of exhibitions was quickly drawn to postcards as objects. “Let the objects speak for themselves.” And through the postcards, the words written by tourists, the scenes on the front, how they evolved over time, Alfrey told the Open Door Book Review Club at the Fountain City Branch Library last week, one can trace the history of the park. Early postcards show the Townsend lumber mill and the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School in Gatlinburg. Later ones show now familiar scenes such as the Chimneys. A few from the 1980s and 1990s even include a drawing of Mickey Mouse trout fishing. “They tell the stories of the mountains, from the wilderness to mountain homes back to preserved wilderness.” The Mickey Mouse postcard was puzzling. But Alfrey realized it, like earlier postcards, was catering to

the times. “At that time, anything with Mickey Mouse on it would sell.” During the early tourism boom of the 1950s, postcards would show mountain people or Cherokee Indians, not as they actually were, but as stereotypes perpetuated by movies and television. “Popular culture (defined) what people wanted to see.” The first postcards of asyet-untouched mountain regions were used to show politicians and other decision makers the importance of preserving the land. And, Alfrey says, it was the first park movement that also brought with it the promise of tourism. It worked. In 1930, roughly 200,000 tourists visited the mountains annually. By the time Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicated the park in 1940, 1.2 million people visited the area. By 1950, more than two million visitors were trekking to the park each year. Later postcards featured photos from Knoxville’s Jim Thompson and North Carolina’s George Masa (who was born in Japan). Others promoted the safety (and fun!) of a motor tour through the park, leading Fountain City resident and park booster Carlos Campbell to proclaim, “A tourist is a person who drives 500 miles to get a picture of his wife standing by his car.” Although many people (including this writer) have been critical of the recent development explosion in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Alfrey says “there’s something special about the first wave of development. It reflected mountain per-

sonalities that couldn’t be replicated if (one) tried. Don Ferguson’s pottery shop, for example, promoted the use of natural clay, and even when Dolly Parton opened Dollywood, it was promoted as something local. “Some of the area’s vernacular hospitality and fun has been replaced by chain stores and restaurants. It seems like Anywhere, USA has taken root.” Alfrey’s book is available at the East Tennessee History Center’s gift shop, at Union Avenue Books downtown and at local Walgreens. ■

‘Get active’ is one solution to bullying, teacher says

Halls High School art teacher Jerry Lewis says several parents approached him about the bullying problem that seems to have escalated in recent years. While bullying is as old a problem as Cain and Abel, Lewis says the game has changed. “When I was in school, if you wanted to poke fun or bully someone, you had to be face to face,” Lewis says. “Now, with social media and stuff like that, they can hide. And in some cases, you don’t even know who they are.” It’s also a 24/7 problem. Lewis thinks one solution is for students to get active and develop self-confidence. “My mother made it a point that I was active in something, whether that was tee ball or baseball or football or karate. I think it’s through those activities that you gain self-confidence. As teachers, parents

and coaches, we need to do our part to instill that into our youth.” Lewis says a lot of teenagers don’t feel like they fit in and can become isolated. “If you’re always out there isolated and all you’ve got is a Nintendo, so to speak, who is your buddy? I think the answer is getting kids involved in something, whether that’s acting or

playing sports or whatever. And I think they should have a contract with their parents to do one thing and do it for at least a year or a season. Who knows? They may like it. Find out what you like and what you’re good at.” “Will bullying always be around? Yes. But I think education and getting active can go a long way.”

Why East Towne matters Fountain City resident Charlotte Davis is holding out hope for the mall she still calls East Towne.

Betty Bean “I do not go to West Town,” she said. “They ruined a wetland to build Turkey Creek so I will not go there. What I would like to see is for East Towne to succeed. It’s going to be a mammoth job, but I want to see it prosper. We need that here.” That is likely one of the few topics about which Davis and Mike Edwards, president/CEO of the Knoxville Chamber, agree. “It matters like crazy to the community, and we’ve got to do everything we can do to get that mall to be profitable for a million different reasons,” Edwards said. “There are significant challenges, but the worst thing that could happen would be for them to go dark.” Edwards points to the stable businesses on the malls’ out-parcels and says he is impressed by the efforts of Knoxville Center’s energetic leasing representative Justin Sterling,

Ike is upgrading to a 4,600 square foot space, and is very excited. “It’s a prime location in the mall, and we are moving all the cases in now. We’ll have a grand reopening in another month. Watch for it. One hundred percent great deals.” Ben Bela is a former taxi driver who has opened My Kitchen in the mall’s Food Court, where he serves

He’s made friends fast, and says people should come see him because, “I lived in Europe, in North Africa, and America and I am the best man in the world. I know how to cook. I know how to drive a taxi, and I know how to complain.” Tattoo Lou is a partner in “Turning Heads,” the only in-mall tattoo parlor in Tennessee. It’s also a hair, nails and tanning salon – “A salon with an East Coast edge,” Lou said, opening the neckline of his shirt to display his favorite tattoo – Mother Teresa smoking a stogie.

Fowl play from Chick-fil-A It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope. It’s Chick-fil-A hanging a giant sign in the heart of Fountain City. Dadgum it. The Atlantabased chicken franchiser had agreed with residents to install a 14-foot monument sign on Kingston Pike in Bearden. But when it came Fountain City’s turn, the company would not budge. A 40-foot pole sign was installed last week. The sign is legal, but oh so unnecessary. City Council member Nick Della Volpe called the sign “defiant” and “demonstrating a lack of respect for the historic and proud community of Fountain City.” Della Volpe concedes the sign is legal under what he calls “an antiquated sign ordinance,” but he says Chickfil-A should realize the Fountain City community is “not an interstate truck stop.” He said the committee that’s revising the city’s sign ordinance is moving too slowly. “The door was left open, so Chick-fil-A walked right through it.” Disappointment was expressed by Margot Kline of Scenic Knoxville. In an email to Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy (dan.

Most are college-educated, hardworking, thoughtful folks who do not spend their money foolishly. She said her opposition has nothing to do with political or philosophical values. “You are coming in, damaging the character of the community, and very likely hurting residential property values nearby, and I do take offense to that.” Realistically, this is fried chicken-eating East Tennessee.

You did the right thing with low signage in parts of west Knoxville. Why are you contributing to urban blight in Fountain City?” Kline says she’s addicted to the store’s diet lemonade, and “I also have always liked your chicken strips, waffle fries, ice cream with blueberries and carrot salad.

What’s in a name?

MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell

I have always been fascinated by street names and their origin. For the most part, developers often name streets after their families or after street names they have seen in other areas. Some use the name of the former owner if it has historical significance (i.e. Smithfield subdivision). One upscale builder told me his favorite TV program was “Murder She Wrote.” The fictional setting was Cabot Cove. He said he liked the name so much he named his development Cabot Ridge. Well, we might say that’s one mystery solved. But the

real mystery was a street in my subdivision. All the streets in our neighborhood are named after famous golf courses. But one street, Crippled Mule Point, has no relation to the others. That aroused my curiosity. The answer was found in an unpublished manuscript written by the late Fox Den members Bob Fraim and Tom Foree, our first golf professional. It seems that when the developer, Chester Massey, was acquiring the property from 11 different owners, he thought he had enough land to build the course. But the golf course

architect, Willard Byrd, discovered at the last moment that additional land was needed to complete the 12th hole. The property was owned by Spencer Smith, the former owner of the Smithfield subdivision property. Massey had purchased property from Smith before and didn’t foresee any problem in purchasing the additional property. He approached Smith in an unassuming way, but quickly found it wasn’t going to be easy. Smith was adamant about not selling any additional land and ended the conversation quite abruptly. Massey

Take a train at Art on Main! By Cindy Taylor The 3rd annual Art in the Park Festival is shaping up to be the best one yet. More than 45 high caliber artisans and vendors from Union, Knox and surrounding counties will line downtown Main Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 1, for Art on Main. The festival was always intended to be outdoors, but weather was prohibitive. For 2013, the event

moved from April to June and to the downtown streets of Maynardville. Rain or shine the festival will go on. “With the Arts Center celebrating its first year anniversary in June, this will be a perfect place to have an arts festival,” said committee member and Arts Center director Susan Boone. “People can stroll the vendor booths and stop in at the center while they’re here.”

Highlights of the festival will be local artists’ demonstrations and sales that include pottery, painted glass, handmade cloth, oil painting, handmade paper, Intarsia and much, much more. Snack vendors will offer food with local flair. There will be all- day entertainment and trackless train rides for the kiddies by Lil’ Thunder Railroad. The first 100 kids to ride will receive a McDonald’s coupon for free food.

recalls that he went down to what is now the 1st fairway and shot some quail. He dressed and took them to Smith, who thanked him but said he still was not going to sell. At that point, Massey told the architect to make the 12th hole a par 3. Massey had started publishing a Fox Den newsletter and was always looking for possible items for the publication. That led him to once again visit Spencer in hopes of finding a possible story that might be of interest to the new residents. Mrs. Smith answered the door and told him that Spencer was sick but that he could visit with him a few minutes. When he entered the bedroom, he assured Smith that he had not come to talk about purchasing any additional property. He told him that he simply was trying to find some good material to include in his newsletter. At that point, Smith rose up from his bed, threw his feet over the edge and sat up as Mrs. Smith started

to spin a tale that fascinated Massey. She said that when the Civil War was nearing an end, stragglers from both North and South would often pass by the property and ask to be fed. On one particular morning, three Confederate soldiers knocked on the door and asked if she could serve them breakfast. She did so and they sat down on the front porch to eat. While they were eating, seven or eight Union soldiers rode by and spotted the three Confederates. A gun battle ensued and Mrs. Smith grabbed what she could carry and ran out the back door. She eventually made her way through the woods to Campbell’s Station, where she spent the night with friends. The next day she returned home to find the three Confederate soldiers lying dead in the front yard. The house had also been looted. She immediately ran to the spring house to see if they had found her perishable items. She discovered

that all the milk and fresh meat were gone and the only thing left was an old crippled mule. Massey asked the Smiths if he could publish that story in his newsletter, and Spencer said, “Would you really publish that?” Massey assured him that he would and at that point Spencer said: “Son, if you will publish that, I’ll just give you the property.” At that point, Massey assured Smith that the road leading down to the spring would always be called Crippled Mule Point. Massey published the story in his newsletter. It was picked up by legendary former Knoxville News Sentinel sports editor Tom Siler. And that story was picked up by the wire services. So today the 12th hole is a beautiful par 4, just as it was intended to be, and the street that runs parallel to the hole on the east side is called Crippled Mule Point, just as Massey had promised.

Evolution of football Effective this fall, football players who strike defenseless foes above the shoulders will be subject to ejection. Players will be prohibited from using helmets as the punishing part of battering rams. Football is fearful of concussions – and lawsuits. Renewed concern about rules and serious injuries reminds me of 1905. Things were so bad, the president of the United States got involved. In case you missed that season, it was when “Volunteers” became the official handle for sports teams at UT. Football Vols played at the rocky corner of 15th and Cumberland. They were not reported as particularly violent or prone to foul. They went 3-5-1 under new coach J.D. Depree, an overmatched leader without assistants. The low-budget Volunteers, captained by Roscoe

Marvin West

“Piggy” Word, defeated Tennessee School for the Deaf and ran roughshod over American Temperance, 104-0. Clemson and Tennessee tied, 5-5, then the value of a touchdown. The Vols lost to Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Georgia Tech, defeated Centre but lost to Alabama in Birmingham and Grant in Chattanooga. I really don’t think Tennessee caused it, but activists became convinced that football was too rough and tumble, generally crude and void of dignity. The deaths of 18 college players might have been a factor. Indeed, football was a

violent game of crunching power surges and crazy collisions followed by piling on. There was punting and running for your life and an occasional score, cause for throwing hats in the air, hugging the nearest girl and launching the rag-tag band into the fight song (this was way before “Rocky Top”). President Theodore Roosevelt, a man’s man, heard frightening reports, saw disturbing photographs of battered linemen and decided football was doing more harm than good. There was no way to face the nation, but he sent forth word that football should be outlawed. The promise of change bought time for thought. Legalizing the forward pass appeared monumental. It did not stop hitting and hurting. The change, in fact, proved mostly cosmetic, like refining street

fights into boxing. Players still got killed but fatalities were less gory. Perhaps you know what happened after that. Football spread out somewhat and used more of the field. Coaches started thinking. Strategy evolved. Was it better to feature size or speed? There were two obvious ways to play offense: run a few plays with precision or a hodge-podge hundred and hope the others guys were more confused. Tennessee in the Neyland era embraced the former philosophy (he rarely used more than 12 or 15 plays in any game, but all were near enough to flawless). The T formation became the rage and a lot of other things developed. Bill Walsh substituted the short passing game for a running attack. Somebody invented the wishbone. Darrell Royal gets credit. Emory Bellard deserves more. Barry Switzer says Spud Cason did it at William Monnig Junior High in Fort Worth – be-

Ferguson retires from St. Paul UMC By Cindy Taylor Don Ferguson says he has been very lucky with the churches he has served in his years as pastor. The last nine have been at St. Paul United Methodist Church. Ferguson is retiring and says he is taking many great memories with him. “My favorite times have been during mission trips,” he said. “We were able to live out our faith in a hands-on way and we have been very blessed to be a part of this group of people.” Ferguson says relationships are the most important; they sometimes come with a mess but it is never boring. “Being involved in people’s lives during transition points is both an honor and a blessing.”

Ferguson plans to spend time with his four grandchildren who live out of state. That has been limited in the past due to obligations that come with his position. He has always had to cut weekend visits short to be in the pulpit on Sundays. But he says he will miss the church. “Churches have all the strengths and all the difficulties that families have. We love each other and we may get aggravated with each other. But we figure out a way to work through it and go on.” Ferguson says nine years is a long time for a pastor in a Methodist church. During retirement, he plans to enjoy writing, gardening and additional time with his wife, Debby Hall. He says he has just

Wallen/Green share top teacher honors at Adrian Burnett By Ruth White

Lesli Wallen has always had a love for kids. Growing up she was fortunate to have several teachers that really touched her life and whom she loved. One might think teaching was the obvious choice for her. Not at first.

Longmire attends HOBY conference Gibbs High sophomore Caroline Longmire was selected by school staff to attend the Hugh O’Brien Youth (HOBY) conference in Nashville earlier this month. Longmire and Pierce Elliot represented the school at the conference, which included group building exercises, setting goals and activities that helped reinforce unity. Longmire hopes to take the skills learned at HOBY and incorporate them into the student government association at Gibbs High. “I think that the organization could work together and be in sync if we knew one another better,” she said. One area that Longmire would like to work on for herself and others is the issue of racism and prejudice. Through the conference she learned that racism is more serious than most people believe and that it needs to be taken seriously. She wants to set a positive ex-

One of the best things to happen at the event was that Longmire wasn’t afraid to participate and came out of her shell. “I wasn’t afraid to be open because everyone else was and wasn’t afraid how they looked in front of others.” She believes that all sophomores should strive to attend HOBY and is enthusiastic about students at Gibbs attending.

She was the chair for Adrian Burnett’s School Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) team and helped to develop the program for the school. The school is still adjusting to the first tier of the program, which focuses on rewarding positive behavior, but Wallen is pleased with the results. Students receive Cardinal Cash for good behavior, which is saved and spent on special gifts. “It’s fun to reinforce positive behavior in the students and has completely changed the climate of afternoon dismissal,” said Wallen. Working at Adrian Burnett is a true blessing. “I love being with such an amazing staff. The students are precious, very loving.” She enjoys 2nd grade and watching the growth of the students, receiving hugs and letters and relishing those moments when the light bulb goes off. Last year she taught 1st grade and advanced to 2nd grade with her class. When she isn’t in the classroom, Wallen enjoys reading, hanging out by the pool, spending time with

Being named co-Teacher of the Year is quite special to Green since he still considers himself new to the school. “It means a lot that my peers think highly of me,” he said. When he isn’t in the classroom, Green enjoys reading, gardening, traveling and playing the saxophone.

Worley heads to Cumberlands Gibbs High senior Matt Worley signed to play soccer at the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky next year. While playing soccer for the Eagles, Worley set a new school record by making 54 goals in a single season. While at Cumberlands, he plans to study business and looks forward to playing soccer. His parents, Mike and Vicki Worley, met on the campus of UC and attended the signing celebration. Also in attendance were his sister Morgan, athletic director Jeff Thomas and UC coach Benton Benware.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Belk helps schools Nick Moschella and his mom, Lisa, assemble bookshelves for West Haven Elementary. Employees at Belk in West Town Mall donated 2,050 books to the school. The staff has generously donated snacks for TCAP testing, lunch for the teachers during the year and provided drinks for field day events this year. Bobby Livermore assembles a picnic table at West Haven Elementary School. Livermore and West Town Mall Belk employees spent the day at the school building the tables, painting hallways and building bookshelves. Photos by Ruth White

By Ruth White How to say thanks for 125 wonderful years in business? The folks at Belk decided to do makeovers in local schools over a 125-day period (March 10 to July 12). Locally, the three Belk stores selected Spring Hill Elementary (Knoxville Center Belk), West Haven Elementary (West Town Mall store), and Christenberry Elementary (Belk of Colonial Pinnacle at Turkey Creek). The Christenberry project is scheduled for Thursday, May 30, while the others were finished last week. At Spring Hill Elementary, principal Judy Pickering had trouble finding words to describe her feelings for the project beyond “Wow!” “We are overwhelmed by the support from Belk and the opportunity they are providing for students, staff members and parents of this community,” she said. Belk manager at Knoxville Center, Liza Wilson, said employees were given an opportunity to take a work day to help a school. “It’s been fun for us to help them out and it’s also been great team building for us.”

Working at West Haven

Belk employee (and parent of a West Haven student) Cynthia Walters and West Town Belk sales team manager Amy McGhee add color to the walls of the teachers’ lounge. Paint was donated by the Sherwin-Williams store on Clinton Highway.

Over at West Haven Elementary, West Town Belk sales team manager Amy McGhee said, “I’m excited to be here. It’s great to get out in the community and help out.” Projects included: ■ Constructing picnic tables ■ Landscaping ■ Assembling and painting bookshelves ■ Painting murals ■ Creating “magic” reading mats ■ In-store book drives ■ Surprise makeover for principals

Steve Stuart stains a picnic table that he helped build for Spring Hill Elementary. Stuart and other employees at Belk in Knoxville Center pitched in to help out at the school.

Helping out at Spring Hill Jennifer Daniel paints the teachers’ lounge at Spring Hill Elementary School as part of Belk’s 125th anniversary celebration. Belk employees also collected books to fill the 12 bookshelves they will assemble during the project.

Halls Middle named Silver Award School Gibbs Elementary students explore ancient Egypt

Halls Middle School has been recognized as a Silver Award School by the U.S. Department of Health. Physical education teacher Judy Lett, coordinator of the school’s health initiative, “was instrumental in getting the school recognized,” says principal Tim Wiegenstein. “She put in countless hours working on the application and spends much of her time working to help our students be the healthiest they can be.” With the award comes a $1,000 grant that Lett intends to be used toward a new gym floor. Halls Middle is the only middle school in Knox County to receive the Silver Award. Pictured are Knox County Schools director of school nutrition Jon Dickl, Lett, Wiegenstein and Halls Middle cafeteria manager Marilyn Crawford. Photo submitted

Gibbs Elementary students created and shared replicas of canopic jars, hieroglyphics, a pyramid and even a life-size sarcophagus during a recent project on Ancient Egypt. The students displayed creative, analytical and research-based thinking through their projects. Photo submitted

Janet Everett, Carolyn Peters and Jane Neubert gave a combined 84 years to education. Everett was a third grade teacher at the school for seven years and taught in Knox County for 19 years. She taught 28.5 years total in education. Peters has been a teachers’ assistant at the school since 1986. Neubert has been at the front desk at Corryton for 29 years.

NEWS FROM LITTLEFISH LAND AND HOME

LittleFish offers innovative approach to real estate By Shana Raley-Lusk Anyone who has ever tried to sell a home knows how difﬁcult and confusing real estate transactions can be, especially given the current market conditions. Add to that the pressure of trying not to lose the equity that you have built up over the years, and it can be a recipe for a stressful situation. Fortunately, one local company’s business model has answers to all of the real estate concerns that sellers face. LittleFish offers listing packages that are based on how long the seller wants to list the property rather than a commission based on the value. This way, the seller cuts out a large part of the overhead that is normally involved in selling a property through a traditional agency. “Because of the savings, the seller will either have more room to negotiate or will pocket more money on the sale,” says Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish Land and Home.

tions and writing the contract if needed. “Our listing packages start at $42 per month for the subscription-based package, or can be paid up front,” says Rob. “The seller gets the same MLS listing as they would with any other agency in Knoxville, but they also get an additional fifty plus real estate specific websites.” A relatively young company, LittleFish is growing, and it is due in large part to its loyal client base. “To date, I have not had anyone come away disappointed,” says Rob. “Until now, we have been largely a ‘grassroots’ and word of mouth agency because of satisfied people.” Rob advises potential sellers to take a Rob Mynatt, principal broker at LittleFish comprehensive look at the process before making any big decisions where selling is Land and Home. Photo by Shana Raley-Lusk concerned. When working with LittleFish, sellers “Try to imagine it after the home is schedule their own showings, but can still sold and you have moved on,” he sugrely on professionals to help with negotia- gests. “Consider all costs involved and

the time you are willing to spend on it. Getting all of the value from your home is a one shot deal. After it is over, there is no going back to get more.” LittleFish has something to offer every seller and provides a high quality service at a low cost. With plans to open in Memphis this summer and Nashville early next year, the agency has hopes of eventually expanding into other states. LittleFish will soon be hiring buyer’s agents for the Knoxville area as well. “Broken down to its simplest form, we save money,” Rob says. “The equity built up in a home comes with years of hard work and sacriﬁce. Consider where it goes before you decide to sell.”

Hospitals roll with changing times By Suzanne Foree Neal

David Bluford with Parkwest Medical Center was the guest speaker for the Rotary Club of Farragut at its May 22 meeting. He spoke about changes to the healthcare industry, especially in Knoxville. Photo by S.F. Neal

Hospitals are places of service but are also businesses that are tasked with providing the best care for the money, the Rev. David Bluford told members of the Rotary Club of Farragut at the club’s May 22 meeting. Bluford is a chaplain and director of guest services at Parkwest Medical Center and is a member of Rotary. “Very few facilities can staff the total numbers of beds they have,” he said. “The University of Tennessee, because it’s a training hospital, has a lot of residents on board. UT is the only Level 1 trauma hospital and has to be staffed at all times.

“One of the busiest hospitals in our area is Le Conte in Sevierville, probably because tourists go there because it’s the only medical facility in the area.” Bluford says the days of free-standing hospitals are pretty much gone. It takes partnerships to provide all the services needed for a facility to stay open. Most hospitals work on a 1 percent proﬁt margin, he said. Not-for-proﬁt hospitals have to reinvest revenue back into the facility. “There are going to be changes in our region with alignment of facilities,” Bluford said. “Obamacare, or the Pa-

tient Protection and Portability Act as it is really called, was passed because 32 million people don’t have health insurance. “Major changes are coming for businesses with fulltime, part-time and occasional workers. “Many companies are cutting hours so they don’t meet the guidelines for insurance.” The health care industry is looking at big issues like lifestyle changes and providing more preventive care, he said, and businesses that focus on trying to keep people out of hospitals will increase. “You’re not always going to ﬁnd a full shop everywhere you go,” he said.

NEWS FROM PREMIER SURGICAL

Ladies’ Choice: Single-Site Gallbladder Surgery “I got sick every time I ate and had an awful pain on my right side,” remembers Allison Peek. For years, the 29-year old Knoxville woman had suffered increasingly painful abdominal cramps after every meal. “I knew something was wrong,” says Allison. “It was affecting my quality of life.” Allison, who works in the medical field, suspected a problem with her gallbladder, but didn’t have the typical risk factors. “I didn’t fit the profile – I’m not overweight, I’m young and active.” Fortunately, she consulted with Premier Surgical Associates at Tennova North. Through several tests, surgeon Dr. Marcella Greene discovered that Allison’s gallbladder wasn’t working correctly. The gallbladder is an organ un-

imally-invasive procedure, the gallbladder is removed through a small cut in your navel. The surgery is virtually scarless. Dr. Greene is one of the only surgeons in the region who performs the special procedure.

Bluford added there’s one big difference between hospitals and other businesses: “We don’t set our own rates. “They tell us what we can charge for providing health care.” Reported revenue at area hospitals was $581 million for UT Medical Center, $289.5 million at Fort Sanders Regional, $300.8 million at Parkwest and $246 million at Physicians Regional (Tennova, former St. Mary’s), said Bluford. Bluford added that in 2010, Knox County had 2,167 licensed beds with 1,758 staffed beds for its population of 432,226.

within days of her outpatient procedure. “To be able to have major surgery with absolutely no scar and little to no down-time is unparalleled!” Allison is thrilled with her results. “I was home that night and was able to eat. And for the ﬁrst time in years, it didn’t hurt.” “Many people have immediate relief of their symptoms,” explains Dr. Greene. And, with the da Vinci® robotically-assisted surgery system, there’s less pain and bleeding, and a shorter hospital stay and fast recovery. “I had an awesome, awesome experience. I can’t say enough about Dr. Greene and her partners Dr. David Harrell and Dr. Roland Weast,” says Allison.

Dale’s Sports to remain Halls fixture By Ruth White Dale and Teresa Rutherford have been staples in the Halls community as long as anyone can remember. Dale started his sporting goods store in his home and remembers spending five years loading up his blue station wagon and visiting schools. As the business expanded, Rutherford opened a storefront and spent almost 30 years serving the needs of athletic teams at Halls, Gibbs and Central high schools and area youth teams. Through those years the Rutherfords have met a lot of people and made a lot of friends. It is because of those friendships that they have sold their business to someone who understands the importance of maintaining those relationships while building new ones. Enter John Shaw, owner of Solway Sporting Goods in the Karns community and a store in Seymour. Shaw met the Rutherfords through mutual suppliers and heard

John Shaw is the new owner of Dale’s Sporting Goods, purchased from Teresa and Dale Rutherford. Photo by Ruth White that the possibility of selling Dale’s was on the table. Shaw called Dale Rutherford and the rest is history. “Dale’s Sporting Goods isn’t closing,” said Shaw. “The name isn’t changing. This store has been a fixture in Halls for almost 30 years.” Dale and Teresa Rutherford will still be part of the store, maintaining relationships and introducing Shaw to the

loyal customers and friends of the business. Shaw feels blessed to be part of such a great business that does more than just sell sporting goods. He is an ordained minister who uses his love for sports (softball in particular) to reach out to prisoners. For more than 15 years he has used softball to get into the yard where he ministers to prisoners

through words and actions. Shaw and his team travel to Florida, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee to minister in this unique way. The Rutherfords know that the store they built from the ground up will be in good hands with Shaw. “We want to thank the Halls, Gibbs and Central communities for being very supportive of us and keeping business local.”

Blake Roberts jumps to the top Gibbs grad brings home honors, preps for working summer By Libby Morgan “It’s the time spent in the saddle that makes a better rider,” says Bob Roberts of Cedar Creek Farm in Gibbs. “Nothing else is as important as practice.” And Bob and Gail Roberts’ 20-year-old son Blake has put lots of saddle time on the clock. “He’s been riding a 1,300 pound horse since he weighed about 80 pounds,” said Bob, “Growing up, he rode just about every day.” Blake’s practice has paid off over the years, as he has been earning blue ribbons in competitions against adults since he was 12. “The best riders have been training for 30 or 40 years. Most of the Olympic champions have grey hair. So I know it’s a skill I can always Blake Roberts, 20, of Cedar Creek Farm on Tazewell Pike, has won many blue ribbons in jumping improve,” says Blake.

Memories of the wind in her hair Dot Conner, decked out in a pink leather jacket, gives a thumbs up as she prepares for her Second Wind Dream, thanks to Elmcroft Assisted Living. Enjoying the ride with Conner is Rose Davis, who helped coordinate the ride, and Gary Freese. The group of motorcycles rode down Emory Road (and memory lane for Conner) and stopped at Brewster’s for ice cream, a favorite spot of Conner’s. Conner and her husband, Buck, spent a lot of time after his retirement riding motorcycles across the United States and Canada. Thanks to Freese and the riders from Rolling Thunder Chapter 3, Patriot Heart Riders and American Legion Post 2, Conner was able to relive precious memories of time spent with her husband on the back of a motorcycle.

Big Barren - Little Barren Big Barren - Little Barren. These names are oh so familiar with older Union Countians. Both communities were dislocated as a result of the impoundment of Norris Lake. The Union County portion of Big Barren Creek is now under Norris Lake. The creek surfaces again in Claiborne County at the end of one of the “fingers” of Norris Lake. Prior to the impoundment of Norris Lake, Big Barren and Little Barren communities were formed around these creeks, probably as a result of the gristmills that were scattered along the creek banks and in operation until the mid-1930s. Big Barren community was located at the UnionClaiborne county lines in the vicinity of what we now think of as the Cedar Grove community, and Little Barren community was in the vicinity of the intersection of Hwy. 33 and

Bonnie Peters

Sharps Chapel Road. Big Barren and Little Barren creeks provided a valuable resource of water to these communities. About 1803, Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church was established on the Banks of Big Barren Creek and remained active there until it had to be moved for the impoundment of the lake. Big Barren was the first known Primitive Baptist Church in what became Union County. The gristmills were not rebuilt, but the churches and cemeteries were rebuilt at different locations. If someone has the story of why Big Barren Cemetery

was relocated to Little Valley, please let me know. It is one of four major cemeteries to receive re-entombments from cemeteries that were in the Norris floodplain and had to be relocated. Union County Cemeteries Association has copies of the transcribed minutes of Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church from 1838 to 1949. These may be purchased from UCCA. This church was just across the county line in Claiborne County near where Cedar Grove Marina is today. The lesser portion of the creek was known as Little Barren, and that church was located near the intersection of Highway 33 and Sharps Chapel Road just north of the old Highway 33 Bridge. Since the creeks were there before the churches, we assume these communities were named for the creeks.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Tested for one, diagnosed with another Dottie Sollman of Seymour, 60, is faithful about getting yearly mammograms. “I go for mammograms every year and have never missed one,” she said. But Sollman never expected to hear the news she got in March 2nd of 2012 after her yearly screening at the Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center. “I am among the few people who are diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma from a mammogram,” said Sollman. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma accounts for only about 0.04 to 0.53 percent of all cancers located in the breast. Sollman is convinced the diligence of the Thompson staff, especially mammography technician Rita Adams, led to her diagnosis and successful, early treatment. “Three or four days after the test, I got a phone call from Rita,” said Sollman. “She said my test didn’t look right and she wanted me to come back in and do more tests.” The spots were high up in Sollman’s chest, between her breasts and neckline. “I don’t know how Rita ever saw it,” she said. Sollman had an ultrasound that, at ﬁrst, appeared normal. But Adams pushed again, showing the results to radiologist Gayle Roulier, M.D. Roulier recommended a biopsy and gave the results quickly to Sollman in person. “They were all so shocked,” said Sollman. “Dr. Roulier came in the room, and they all stood around me. She said I had nonHodgkin’s lymphoma, in the upper part of my chest. “I will never ever forget that moment in my lifetime because of the way they handled it. I felt like I was surrounded by best friends and sisters,” she said. “They were genuinely upset for me. I will never forget how warm and loving those women were that day in that room.” Sollman’s husband, Steve, was out of town

for the day, but rushed back to be with her for a same-day appointment at Thompson Cancer Survival Center with oncologist Michelene Liebman, M.D. From there, cancer tests and treatments were quickly scheduled. “I had a bone marrow biopsy by Wednesday, the PET scan by Friday. From the day of diagnosis, within seven days I had two major tests that had to be done,” said Sollman. “Throughout it, I feel like I was looked

Comprehensive Breast Health The Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center has been performing mammography and other women’s services since 1989. The Center offers both screening and diagnostic mammograms for all women (recommended yearly for ages 40 and older), bone densitometry, ulDr. Gayle trasound and core Roulier biopsy. “Regular mammogram screenings save lives,” says Dr. Gayle Roulier, a radiologist at the center, which has been awarded a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence designation. Roulier is fellowship trained in women’s imaging, an extra measure of excellence. “We try to do a complete, thorough job,” said Roulier of the center. “We always have a nurse on staff who is a specialist in breast exams, and our technicians are very

experienced and well-trained.” The Center is also committed to the wellness of groups outside of Knoxville. “We feel it’s part of our mission to educate women about breast health and the importance of early detection of all types of cancer,” says Teresa Cooper, Thompson Breast Center manager. “We are a very missiondriven group!” And Dr. Roulier wants all women to know that you don’t have to have cancer to come to Thompson. “We’re here for your yearly screening mammogram as well. But the great thing is that if you have a problem, we work closely with the Thompson Cancer Survival Center,” adds Roulier. “We’re completely equipped, capable and set up to handle treatment in a seamless manner,” she said. For more information or to schedule an appointment at the Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center, call 865-541-1624.

after divinely, but these people who took care of me and helped me through this process, I felt like I was with family,” Sollman said. Because the lymphoma spots were small and conﬁned to the chest area, Sollman was able to avoid surgery. “I had radiation, and that was all,” said Sollman. “They found two spots in the mammogram and my bone marrow was clean, thank God. The PET (positron emission tomography) scan found a third spot, so just three, that’s all I had.”

She had a series of 20 radiation treatments at the Thompson Cancer Survival Center in Sevierville, nearest to her home. Sollman underwent her radiation treatments in May of 2012, during which time she supervised the annual rummage sale at Seymour Heights Christian Church. Sollman, and other volunteers, raised over $11,000 for SHCC missions and the C.R.O.S.S. Food Ministry serving parts of Blount, Sevier and Knox counties. “I did everything I could to keep the lymphoma from stopping my fulﬁllment of commitments I had made prior to being diagnosed.” “I would go to the rummage sale, go to radiation, go back to the rummage sale and keep working,” said Sollman. “I was very blessed and very fortunate.” Sollman returned to Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center in February of 2013 for another screening mammogram. “I requested Rita, of course!” she said. “And everything came out good. Just this past April I had a tremendous battery of blood work done, and it all looked good, too.” Sollman said she would deﬁnitely recommend Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center for routine mammograms and Thompson Cancer Survival Center for anyone who faces cancer treatments. “It’s hard to put into words, because when I think about how they cared for me, it tears me up.” said Sollman. “Rita went above and beyond the call of duty. In my mind, she may have very well saved my life. She certainly changed my story and I will be forever grateful. Anybody can do their job, but it takes a special kind of person to go above and beyond what is expected of them. I just can’t say enough kind things about the staff that took care of me in the scariest time of my life.”
