Rogero pledges bike, pedestrian connector

By Sandra Clark Mayor Madeline Rogero has pledged city support for a project the state Department of Transportation said it could not fund.

Rogero wants to maintain safe, convenient access for pedestrians and bicyclists from Fountain City to downtown, especially at the soon-to-be-redesigned intersection of Broadway and Interstate 640.

Liz Brown and Jeff Patin were honored as Woman and Man In her budget address of the Year by Fountain City Town Hall. Photos by S. Clark earlier this year, Rogero said, “A total of $2.18 million is allocated to sidewalks and crosswalks including $350,000 to begin design and land acquisition for sidewalks on Old Broadway at I-640. This is a critical walking and bicycle linkage that we are committed to building.�

Speaking at Honor Fountain City Day on May 26, she reiterated that support. “Great neighborhoods also need great connections to the rest of the city.

Daniel Dunn chaired the Honor Fountain City Day ceremony, giving the chair’s award to his friend Tyler Pavlis and presenting the Friend of Fountain City award to outgoing chair Ken Cloniger.

Afterward, U.S. Rep. John Duncan Jr. continued his tradition of speaking at the Memorial Day ceremony. John Becker of WBIR-TV spoke of “Service and Sacrifice,� and Lynn Bennett sang.

The East Tennessee Veterans Honor Guard fired a salute and played “Taps� to end the ceremony.

Halls loses valued teacher; horticulture program cut

By Sandra Clark We learned at press time that horticulture teacher Mike B l a n k e n s h i p’s program has been cut and he will not return to Halls High School.

Melissa Ogden, director of public affairs for Knox Blankenship County Schools, confirmed this and said the greenhouse would be used for the ecol-

ogy class. “School staffing is based on student enrollment,� she said, and Halls High lost two positions based on projected enrollment for next year. “Decisions about implementation of specific reductions or increases in school staffing are the principal’s discretion,� she said. “Broadly speaking, reductions in a program are not necessarily a reflection on the quality of the program but may be related to the program’s level of enrollment. I

understand that this was the case with the horticulture class.�

School board member-elect Patti Bounds said it seems contradictory to be opening a new career magnet school while closing down career paths at other schools. She will take office Sept. 1.

Lance McCold, speaking at the May 5 school board workshop, said 11 teaching positions and one counselor have been shifted from existing high schools to the new Career Magnet Academy, set to open this fall with 110 students

in the basement of the Pellissippi State (formerly Phillips Electronics) building at Strawberry Plains.

At Halls, Blankenship received many honors. He accompanied students to regional, state and national FFA competitions. He was active in the Business and Professional Association, earning the Halls Man of the Year award. He worked with Scott Frith to plant dogwoods and other trees in the median of Maynardville Highway.

More on this next week.

Educators bow out early; cite ‘attack on teachers’

By Betty Bean When Stan Kelly and Peggy Leland retired two weeks ago, 45 years of teaching experience at Central High School walked out the door with them. “I kept asking Stan, ‘Are we really old enough to be doing this?’ � said Leland, who taught art at Central for 20 years and directed her students in creating high-profile art projects like the huge banners hanging in the school commons and other areas. “In my mind, I just thought this was a chance to expose kids who had never had a chance to experience the visual arts to the great artists.

NEWS FROM EMERALD YOUTH FOUNDATION OF KNOXVILLE

Thomasiah Agnew, left, Lucia Vasquez and drama camp director Mary Johnson perform in the play “Talent Town, Tennessee� during JustLead Camp Week last summer.

Emerald Youth Foundation offers

Summertime fun, safety AmeriCorps members serve with Emerald Youth this summer Thirty-six AmeriCorps members have begun a summer term with JustLead, Emerald Youth Foundation’s neighborhood-based program for urban youth. They will lead young people in a variety of health and educational programs this summer and, of course, have lots of fun with the kids.

AmeriCorps, a program of the U.S. Corporation for National and Community Service, engages more than 80,000

Americans in intensive service each year at nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups across the country.

If interested in Emerald Youth’s AmeriCorps program, contact Rachel Davis at rdavis@emeraldyouth.org.

Emerald Youth is recruiting this summer for parttime school-year AmeriCorps positions, to begin in August.

Swimmers race to summer season Emerald Youth’s summer swim team – the Emerald Force – has a lineup of swimmers raring to go.

New head coach Justin Baxter is the former swim coach at Bearden High School. “We are looking forward to a good season. We expect to have stronger swimmers this year,� said Dwayne Sanders, Emerald Youth sports director. “Justin thinks we can win a meet or two. We have at least four swimmers now who swim year-round.�

Emerald’s team can ac-

commodate 50 swimmers.

Emerald Force has a schedule of four regular meets plus the Smoky Mountain Invitational Meet July 13 and the City Swim Meet July 25.

As a competitive sport for kids, swimming receives high marks: It is low-injury, promotes fitness and helps prevent obesity, which afflicts about 40 percent of urban Knoxville youth. It is also an ideal lifelong sport.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that AfricanAmerican children ages

5-14 are almost three times more likely to drown than white children.

But programs like Emerald’s are creating a difference. Last year, several Emerald swimmers went on to swim in the fall and winter with the Tennessee Aquatics competitive swim club.

Emerald leads more than 200 children to swim lessons each fall, spring and summer. Presently, kids are taking lessons through the Learn to Swim program at the YWCA. At the Ed Cothren pool, where the team practices,

Swimmer A.J. Humphries at a meet last summer. urban children are gaining proficiency with every stroke.

Vacation times often hold a hidden barb for inner-city children and teens.

Higher rates of poverty and unemployment, greater numbers of single-parent households and a smaller stock of recreational facilities in the central city mean that urban kids seldom go on the vacations they see advertised. Many children simply spend the days roaming their neighborhoods or staying at home alone.

Emerald Youth offers a range of programming in a safe place. The organization also supports youth spiritually and helps them stay sharp academically, including preparing them for college.

Through JustLead, its neighborhood-based ministry, Emerald offers daytime and evening programming, via a network of urban churches and faith-based organizations. The newest is Laurel Church of Christ, 3457 Kingston Pike, which is offering a day camp this summer for interested children who are rising 2ndthrough 8th-graders.

A highlight is JustLead

Camp Week, June 1620, when more than 200 children will choose one themed day camp, ranging from outdoor adventures to gardening or dance. The entire week is generously sponsored by Variety of Eastern Tennessee and concludes with a daylong trip to Knoxville Zoo – an alwayspopular event. “Our intention behind JustLead Camp Week is to expose kids to something they really enjoy. We also want to provide camp options the kids might not otherwise have access to or be able to participate in,� said Emerald Youth staff member Kent Stanger.

Other events will include a middle school trip to Carowinds Amusement Park in Charlotte, N.C, and opportunities for high school students to visit colleges, learn about careers and enjoy hiking and tubing. “We have a heavy emphasis on the out of doors and relationship building.

We use the summer and the weather while we’ve got it,�

Stanger said.

Remembering those who served Memorial Day is observed to honor military service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Ruth White

In Corryton, the celebration is one that has little flash and flair but is a time to honor and remember soldiers from the area that gave their all.

The Gibbs High School JROTC presented the colors for the ceremony, and the Clapps Chapel choir’s voices filled the air with the National Anthem. Guest speakers read brief stories and poems in hopes that no one ever forgets the service of our military personnel.

As each name of the veterans buried at the cemetery was called, a bell was

rung. Weslee Sharp played “Taps,� and as the colors were retired the crowd stood in silence.

Ryan Davis rings the bell at the Clapps Chapel United Methodist Church cemetery as the name is called of each veteran buried there.

The letter writer

She calls herself “the letter writer,� and she has a gift of taking the words of individuals and putting them on paper for loved ones.

Judy Rothermel is a memoir class leader and writer of legacy letters who presented a workshop at the Halls Senior Center last week.

Rothermel met a “kid� from Australia whose father “woke up dead� one day. “The son had given his dad a spiral notebook with questions and prompts to writing down his life stories. When his father died suddenly, the son was surprised to find the notebook completely filled out, she said. The notebook prompted that kid, Michael McQueen, to write “Memento: My Life in Stories.�

Legacy letters help pass on values and beliefs to individuals left behind, in their own words. “I have never had someone tell me about the car they drove or go into details about their careers,� she said. “All they want to talk about is love and forgiveness. Nothing else makes a difference to them.�

She has had the honor of reading a legacy letter as a eulogy, and members of the grieving family commented that it felt as if their loved one was speaking to them. The letters can help provide comfort and reassurance during the grieving process.

For more information on legacy letters, Rothermel can be contacted at jhrothermel@gmail.com.

Educators bow out ers,� Leland said. “I’ve always been evaluated by people who have never taught art. Teaching art cannot be compared to an academic class.�

Kelly agreed: “Teaching cannot be compared to a business.

We’re doing so much wrong in education. It’s bad for teachers and horrible for kids. But teachers are easy to push around. We see these cycles come and go, and we sit back and let them happen. This time, it finally broke us.�

Kelly said the emphasis on four-year graduation

rates (a Race to the Top requirement) is creating grade inflation that damages academic integrity. “A couple of years ago, I was teaching an economics course that is required for graduation. I was asked to turn in the names of kids in danger of failing, and I gave them the name of one boy who never got above a 40 on a test. “Two weeks later, he walked across the stage and graduated.�

Surprised, Kelly learned the student had been placed in a last-minute, accelerated cram session aimed at mak-

ing him graduation-eligible.

But much as they disagree with today’s test-and-assess business model, they don’t regret their career choice. “I’m leaving a little earlier than I intended, but I’ve known so many great kids. I ran into a kid yesterday that I gave a scholarship to, and I was tickled to death to see him. I’ve taught kids of my kids,� Kelly said.

Leland, for whom teaching high school art was the fourth career (she’d worked in planning at UT, at TVA in regional arts and at the TVA Credit Union in staff development), says she has no regrets about her teaching career.

“I thought I’d stay longer, but I’m happy. I’m glad this was my fourth career. But staying would mean going along with these current policies, and I just can’t do that anymore.�

Expect a battle in the fighting 13th Last Sunday, state Rep. Gloria Johnson threw herself a multipurpose birthday/fundraiser/ ice-cream social in Edgewood Park, near the heart of North Knoxville, which is no longer the geographic heart of the 13th House District.

But it’s where she lives, and it’s where the former chair of the Knox County Democratic Party must win heavily in November if she is to get a second term.

The 13th has been sending Democrats to Nashville for more than 50 years, with the exception of the brief tenure of Republican Joe Burchfield, who won a special election in 1989 over the widow of the late Ted Ray Miller to serve out the second year of the term vacated by the death of the incumbent. Burchfield was promptly defeated in 1990

by Harry Tindell, who remained in office until 2012 despite numerous attempts to oust him by candidates with ties to conservative Re-

Betty Bean publicans Stacey Campfield and Bill Dunn.

Tindell, a fiscal conservative who specialized in government finances, became an important cog in the power structure of a House dominated by Democrats and was the favorite Democrat of a lot of Republicans.

Over the years, he survived the gradual GOP takeover of the House unscathed.

The Republican takeover was completed with the wave election of 2010, which gave the GOP the power to redraw House district lines.

By 2012, the 13th District had been stretched south and west with the addition of Bonny Kate, Mount Olive and Sequoyah Hills. Privately, Republicans maintained that it could have been worse, but for their re-

spect for Tindell, who nonetheless bowed out in 2012.

Common wisdom was that the Republicans would take the seat, but Johnson, a special-education teacher fresh off a 2011 run for state Senate that nobody expected her to win against Republican Becky Duncan Massey (she mostly ran because no other Democrat volunteered to take the bayonet in the breadbasket), took the House seat with a strong election-day showing in the North Knoxville wards, where demographics skew older and more sympathetic to the labor, education and civil-rights issues that are her strengths.

This year, two Republicans will go at it in the primary – the heavily selffinanced Jason Emert, a Farragut High School graduate and former Blount County resident who moved to Sequoyah Hills a year ago and has a recently acquired law degree from the University of Miami and a penchant for

shooting himself in the foot, and Eddie Smith, an arranger of church music and Inskip resident who grew up in Alice Bell and is married to former Miss Tennessee Lanna Keck and has ties to Bill Dunn (who is now a committee chair and wields power commensurate to that which Tindell enjoyed when his party ruled Capitol Hill).

It will be ugly.

Smith will be heavily outspent by Emert but should win the primary. And the November battle with Johnson, who will have the support of a legion of ticked-off teachers, will be epic.

Note: A photo accompanying last week’s column about a campaign reception for Chancellor Daryl Fansler identified his colleague, Chancellor Mike Moyers, as a Fansler “supporter.” Moyers says he was merely in attendance at the reception and the Fansler sticker he was wearing was a nametag.

Talent or experience? Take your pick

We shall soon see the difference in football talent and experience.

Beginning on the last Sunday in August and continuing for three months, Tennessee will present a case study for the comparison of superior athletic ability and jungle warfare survival.

Butch Jones has assembled a bright, young cast of highly regarded prospects.

Alas, the foundation of his brick-by-brick building program is thin. There just aren’t many Volunteers who have enjoyed learning experiences against Southeastern Conference foes.

That’s double trouble.

There haven’t been many winning games to enjoy, and there are too few seniors.

Marvin West

Back when freshmen were not allowed to play because of perceived immaturity and sophomores were considered generally inadequate, the late, great Robert R. Neyland said college teams could expect to lose one game for each underclassman in the starting lineup.

Thankfully that philosophy is no longer applicable.

There aren’t enough games.

Now is an OK time to guess which Tennessee

freshmen might be in the opening lineup against Utah State. Offensive tackle Coleman Thomas, tight end Ethen Wolf and corner Emmanuel Moseley are best bets. Wide receiver Josh Malone appears ready enough. Tailback Jalen Hurd is not far behind. At least two incoming missiles will try to take a safety spot.

A rookie could become a starting linebacker. I suppose it is possible that a freshman could be a defensive tackle. Another rookie might emerge as kicker.

Sophomores? They are everywhere. Neyland would shudder.

In trying to compare the values of talent and experience, consider this: Coaches can intensify practice to a

level that is somewhat similar to “experience.” There is no way to fake talent. You are or are not athletic. You can or can’t run fast. Reaction time is excellent or less. You can jump or you can’t. OK, that doesn’t matter as much if you are a big, strong lineman.

Talent can be enhanced with improved technique, but it is really hard to teach speed.

Coach Jones knew what he was getting into when he took the Tennessee job.

As soon as he analyzed the roster, he saw that his second season would likely be more challenging than his first. He inherited experienced linemen on both sides of the ball, but they would soon be gone. He couldn’t be sure that Tiny would go

A busy June: Nesting Around A d th these parts, t the th h month of June is about the busiest time of the year, at least in the bird world. All those nice calm birds that spent the winter munching seeds at our feeders have had a big dose of hormones kick in. They’ve been joined by dozens of migrant species like hummingbirds, house wrens, swallows and vireos, jostling for both groceries and housing opportunities.

Dr. Bob Collier

The neighborhood is full of drama, with such familiar characters as super-

moms, absentee dads and overworked parents trying to cope with fussy, demanding kids. Of course, we’re not talking reality shows here, we’re into actual life in the June bird world.

The name of the game is nesting. The object of the game is to produce as many new baby birds in as short a time as possible. Nesting includes building a place, laying some eggs, sitting on them till they hatch (the process called incubation by the biologists) and then feeding those hatchlings from dawn to dark till they go from helpless little blobs to independent, flying creatures.

This all takes place in a late-May-to-June frenzy of activity covering two or three weeks and is often followed up with a second round of the same stuff,

producing a second, and sometimes, here in the South, a third brood.

At our house we are presently hosting (or putting

up with) nests of Carolina wrens (back porch – they tried hard for the garage), cardinals (crepe myrtle bush just outside my desk

but he did.

I remember when the coach said: “I knew right away that we were in trouble in Year 2 in terms of depth and experience. We had to make a commitment in recruiting.”

Did they ever! Butch and his people recruited one of the finest classes in the country. As is almost always the case, most new Vols are very young.

The truth is that Jones still doesn’t know what his defense will look like until the summer freshmen are integrated into the program. There is powerful incoming potential among linebackers and defensive backs, but it is too early to forecast what Derek Barnett, Dewayne Hendrix,

Charles Mosley and Michael Sawyers can do.

There is evolution to come. Jones says there is no way around playing some rookies in the defensive front.

“That’s just where we are.

And, as we know, this is an unforgiving league when it comes to the line of scrimmage.”

Coaching tip based on many years of observation: If you really must make a choice, take talent over experience. There will be mistakes. There will also be more big plays.

NFL scouts prove that point each spring. They sometimes recommend basketball players.

roof overhang). And then the bluebirds and the house wrens are in constant disputes over who gets which nest box this year.

The blue jays, instead of being loud and raucous, are skulking around the yard, quietly gathering food, a sure sign of a nest with babies, and the blue-gray gnatcatchers are just finishing up their first brood and are starting on their second.

Bird nests come in a vast array of shapes and sizes.

They range from the tiny hummingbird nest woven from cobwebs and lichens, to the massive hundredpound-plus pile of sticks constructed by our bald eagles. The artistry ranges from the carefully woven baskets of the orioles and vireos, to the precise, mudlined cups of the robins, to the half-dozen twigs thrown window; momma bird gives together by the mourning me a scolding every time I doves.

June: Nesting

(and people) lovers If you’ve ever wanted to help animals and people at the same time, you have a golden opportunity to get started tonight (Monday, June 2). Human Animal Bond in Tennessee (HABIT) is holding a free informational meeting for those interested in becoming volunteers.

Abby Gibson – a friend to animals, always

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner A program of the UT College of Veterinary Medicine, HABIT is a nonprofit group of volunteers working to promote the bond between people and animals.

The organization sponsors animal-assisted therapy programs for all ages in many different settings, including nursing and retirement homes, assisted-living centers, hospitals, physicalrehabilitation centers and area schools.

You can find out more by attending the meeting from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. today in room A118 at the UTCVM, 2407 River Drive.

Walk your waggers

The Abby Gibson Memorial Foundation will hold its third annual Walk & Wag event Saturday, June 7, at Victor Ashe Park. This

This clumsy baby bird is doing just what it’s supposed to do. Photo by K. Woycik dog-friendly family event, presented by PetSafe, will be held 10 a.m.-1 p.m. with early-registration check-in and day-of-event registration starting at 9 a.m.

Ten-year-old Abby Gibson lost her life in 2010 from injuries sustained in a horseback-riding accident.

She was an animal lover like no other, and she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.

Her mom, Jennifer, decided to do something positive to mark Abby’s extraordinary life by spearheading this wonderful annual fundraising event. Proceeds from this year’s Walk & Wag will benefit the Abby Gibson Veterinary Medicine Scholarship Endowment at UTCVM, HABIT, HALT (Humans and Animals Learning Together) and the Knoxville Zoo’s ZooFund for Kids.

Last year’s Walk & Wag was an absolute blast. You won’t find better, happier, more caring people on the planet. This year there are contests, demonstrations by the Knox County Sheriff’s K-9 unit, music, food, prize drawings and a scavenger hunt. The Knoxville Zoo ZooMobile will be on hand.

Plus there’s a new “kids’ zone” with all kinds of fun games and activities.

Leave ‘em alone

Lately on our daily walks, my corgi mix Barney Fife and I can’t help noticing that there are an awful lot of scruffy baby birds floundering around in the underbrush. Sometimes we’ll spot a baby bunny, frozen in place, looking deserted.

Friends in more far-flung places report fawns lying

motionless in the grass. It’s difficult to tell if any of these infants are in trouble.

They aren’t.

Janet Pezzi, a licensed veterinary medical technician with the Avian, Exotics and Zoological Medicine and Surgery service at the UT Veterinary Medical Center, says: “This time of the year baby birds are in the fledgling stage of their lives.

Most of them spend about two to three days on the ground, hopping around, learning to forage for food.”

Pezzi stresses that all the fumbling around is quite normal; the babies are also learning to fly.

In addition, she says, the parents are usually near.

They are easily scared off by humans, so “people need to keep a large distance or go inside when they know that fledglings and parents are close by.”

She also suggests keeping pets indoors or on a short leash, as a large percentage of injured wildlife seen at the UTVMC suffers from dog and cat bites.

Other baby animals you see are just following their parents’ orders by staying still, according to Dr. Cheryl Greenacre of the UTVMC. Again, it’s best for us humans to stay out of the situation.

“Let’s help them make it in this big world,” says Pezzi, “by letting the parents do what they know is best for their babies.”

plunk their eggs down on a driveway or in a parking lot somewhere and call it a nest.

After the nests are built and eggs laid, then comes the easy part – incubation.

The average length of time to hatching for our smaller songbirds is about 11 days.

Ah, but then – feeding.

Bird parents face one common sight all day long every day – a nest full of big, wide-open, hungry mouths.

Baby birds must have protein to develop properly, and even species that usually eat seeds feed their growing youngsters protein. This means caterpillars, worms, spiders, insects. As many as they can find, constantly foraging, day after day. People have watched and counted the feeding trips parents make to their nests, and some number in the hundreds per day.

This is interesting and fun to watch, but think also of the millions of grubs eating your lawn, and caterpillars eating your garden and trees, and gnats and mosquitoes tormenting you, that are gathered each spring and fed to growing birds, that would otherwise be eating us people out of house and home! There is no way we could ever keep up.

Just like in the average American neighborhood, the arrangements for rearing a family vary from one household to another, only with the birds it’s determined by the species. For example, our good old American robins mostly cooperate in the enterprise, with the male bird helping the female build her nest, then keeping a watchful eye on things while she incubates the eggs for 12 to 14 days. The dad then joins the mom in the monumental task of stuffing hundreds of worms and caterpillars into the ever-open hungry mouths till the babies are off

the nest and on their way.

The opposite end of that spectrum is the hummingbird family. The male rubythroated hummingbirds select a territory each spring that offers good nesting sites and an adequate food supply. A female comes along and chooses a male based upon the quality of territory he oversees. They mate, and then that’s it for the father. Away he goes, and the female then builds the nest, lays the eggs and sits on them, with brief breaks for a bite to eat. When they hatch, super-mom finds all the food and feeds the two babies by herself.

What’s really amazing is that she will often mate and start a second nest by herself, while finishing up with the first one! Certainly something for the neighbors to watch and talk about over the back fence.

But all this June activity is not just programmed into the birds for our entertainment. Mother Nature has worked things out so that on average, over the years, we will end up with about the same total number of birds each season. And it’s not easy being a baby bird.

Weather such as cold snaps and storms, disease and predators, especially outdoor house cats, wipe out millions each year. Many first-year birds fail to make it back to their nesting grounds on that first migration. And so to replace all those losses, plus losing parent birds annually as well, there has to be a good-sized batch of replacement birds each year.

It’s a huge job, and it takes a lot of trips to the nest with your mouth full of worms.

But it seems to be a system that’s worked out well through the eons. Just be glad that kids don’t grow that fast. Imagine what jeans and sneakers would cost.

During our explorations of the Southwest, my husband, Lewis, and I had the opportunity to visit Carlsbad Caverns. The caverns were vast and beautiful, old and mysterious, dark and foreboding. The small pools of reflecting water amid the swirling rock were like gems set in a great diadem.

My astonishment was almost overpowering; as I rounded the next curve in the path, I wondered if I would be able to comprehend more majesty, more beauty, more wonder.

When we emerged from the darkness of the caverns, the sunlight was warm and welcome. As we drove down the highway (the entrance to the caverns is high on a mountain), we paid closer attention to our surroundings. The mountains were rocky and rugged, barren of trees. I was reminded of the mountains in Israel, particularly those on the road that leads from Jerusalem down to Jericho – the forlorn setting of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. There were more caves among the hills, but it was the vegetation that surprised me.

New Mexico is desert after all, I reminded myself.

There were varieties of cactus – not the upraised arms of the Saguaro cactus, but the broad, low-to-theground, paddle-shaped, flat-leafed types. Do cacti have leaves??? They certainly do have spikes: fierce, needle-like, defensive weapons that clearly say, “Hands off, Buster!” They were everywhere, reminiscent of so many settings of Western movies.

And they were blooming!

Large yellow blossoms everywhere! Multiple blooms on each cactus!

It was incongruous and as “mules in horses’ har-

ness,” to quote Scarlett’s Mammy. But it also was a lesson in the abundant goodness of God. Robinson Jeffers wrote a poem titled “The Excesses of God,” in which he posed the following question: “Is it not by his high superfluousness we know our God? For to be equal a need Is natural, animal, mineral: But to fling Rainbows over the rain And beauty above the moon, And secret rainbows On the domes of deep sea-shells...?”

God created a universe that is wild with wonder, and our little planet Earth is teeming with its own amazing miracles. We need to explore our world and discover what God is up to. We need to open our eyes and really see the world.

Discovery doesn’t necessarily mean distant places either.

Open your eyes on your drive to work. Pay attention to sunrises and sunsets. Notice the flowers. Look – really look – at the greenness of the grass.

Stand at a window and look into the distance. How far can you see? Is there a mountain within sight?

Go outside tonight and look up at the stars, the planets, the moon. “Lift up your eyes,” as the psalmist says.

And if your life feels desert-like just now, remember: The desert will bloom.

Halls track program finishes strong The Halls High track team finished a great season with Kaitlyn Lay competing at the state meet and two seniors, Gabe Treadway and Kierra Knighten, signing to run at the collegiate level.

“We made several changes at the start of the year,” said coach Tony Tampas, “and we have a young group that really stepped up.” One of the first and most noticeable changes was the uniform. The team had worn a potpourri of old uniforms and the time had come for them to all look the same, like a team.

Several of the team members qualified for sectionals including Dakota Bunting, J.T. Freels, Tyler Edwards, Gabe Treadway, Sirrel Robinson, Emily Tampas, Kyle Holland and Kaitlyn Lay. Lay went to the state competition and placed eighth in the 800m. She holds the Halls High School record with a time of 2.20.

The sophomore, also known as the “Iron Horse,” holds the school record for the 400m with a time of 1.01.

Tyler Edwards set school records in the 1600m and the 3200m, and Tampas expects great things from him next year.

Sophomore Kyle Holland has been called “an up and coming” by Tampas and scored his personal best in sectionals this year. Sirrel Robinson, participating in the pole vault for the first time this season, is “always getting better,” and Tampas looks for good things from him next season.

Ninth-graders J.T. Freels and Dakota Bunting both qualified for sectionals.

Gibbs softball is state runner-up

By Ruth White Gibbs High softball made the move from 2A to 3A division this year. It was a big step, but the team proved it could compete.

“The teams in 3A are tougher competition than 2A,” said senior Karri Byrd.

“We were used to run-ruling teams, and now games were much closer in score.” The team didn’t shy away from the competition. Byrd and senior team members felt that the strong competition made the team better and made them work harder.

Many underestimated the team and its ability to compete in the higher divi-

sion, but those who know the team members knew that they were determined to make it to the state tournament. They defeated Powell to win the district title and went on to beat Maryville for the regional title and a trip to the state tournament.

The first game at state was tough, and Gibbs lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to Coffee County. The team pulled together and fought its way through the losers’ bracket and defeated Coffee County 8-4 on the way to the championship round.

Gibbs High teacher Kristi Everette could not stay home.

“I called Carol (Mitchell) and said, ‘I’m coming.’ I had been present for every one of Gibbs’ championships – as a spectator in the 7th grade, as a player for three years and as an assistant coach for the others.” Everett drove to Murfreesboro, arriving in the first inning.

The team just could not get its hitting going, and Dickson County defeated Gibbs 4-1 in the championship game. Byrd said, “Their pitcher had the meanest change-up I’ve ever seen.”

There were tears following the loss, but mainly because the girls knew that this was their last game together.

“We have been together six days a week practicing and even got together early on the morning of graduation to practice. The seniors are so proud of the team and how hard we worked together. This journey was well worth it and very bittersweet,” said Byrd.

The team was voted first in the state and 58th nationally

by Maxpreps. Gibbs finished with the best record – 50-6 – in school history and earned its 30th district and 25th region championships. As a team, players stole 155 bases, hit 21 home runs and had an ERA of 1.82 and a fielding percentage of .946.

Riding the buzz

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero gives the keynote address at Honor Fountain City Day. Photo by S. Clark

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero is riding the buzz.

On Monday, the mayor spoke of the momentum around Knoxville. “A budget is not just a financial document,� she said in Fountain City Park. “It’s about our vision for our city. It is where we set our priorities and invest in the future that we want to see.

She drew loud applause from the neighborhood crowd when she mentioned her budget includes $250,000 to make a “longterm solution� to the algae problems at Fountain City Lake.

On Tuesday, she secured passage of her budget and its accompanying 34-cent property-tax increase. The vote wasn’t even close.

Sandra Clark

On Wednesday, we learned of a fundraiser set for Wednesday, June 11, at the Kingston Pike home of Eddie Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners. It’s a $250 ticket with a 70-person host committee of Democrats and Republicans. Rogero is running for reelection, and I’m not betting against her.

We’ve always known Rogero was smart. Now we’re learning that she’s tough enough to fight and survive

in the quagmire known as city politics. She’s a Democrat, which could limit her options for higher office.

But she’s sure riding high on the buzz of progress, energy and optimism for the city.

People forget that the late U.S. Rep. John Duncan secured victory in his first election to Congress on the buzz created by urban renewal, construction of the Civic Coliseum and a massive annexation that nearly doubled the size of the city. Well, and he had a little help from Mose Lobetti and friends. â–

Quotable

Justice Sharon Lee, a lifelong Democrat who was appointed to the state Supreme Court by Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen: “Well, I’m troubled by the partisan attack on our judicial system,� Lee said. “Politics has no place in the courtroom.�

Potential members and interested business people are invited to find out what the east side buzz is all about.

Tuesday, June 10, at Jubilee Banquet Facility. The president is Sage Kohler.

Asia Café North to expand

Honorees of the Inskip Lions Club are Brickey-McCloud, Kate Luttrell; Christenberry, Adrian Moto; Inskip, Breanna Angel; Norwood, Emma Wright; Sterchi, Elaine Sheddan. Photo submitted

Inskip Lions honor students The Lions Club of Inskip held its 60th Scholastic Achievement event at Days Inn Banquet Room on May 12.

The project began in 1954 when the club honored a 5th-grader at Inskip Elementary School and engraved the student’s name on a plaque that hung at the school for a year.

As years went by and more elementary schools were built, these schools were included in the project

so that now students representing Brickey-McCloud, Christenberry, Inskip, Norwood and Sterchi elementary schools are honored.

Parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers and principals from these schools were invited to a dinner and presentation of these awards. A gift was also given to each honoree. A brief history of Lions and the Inskip Club was given by Lion Johnny Cecil, a 51-year Lions member.

The keynote address was given by Sarah Brengle, assistant principal at Ball Camp Elementary School.

Brengle was introduced by Melissa Johnson, principal at Christenberry Elementary. Her topic was “Habits Are What We Are.” Honorees are: BrickeyMcCloud, Kate Luttrell; Christenberry, Adrian Moto; Inskip, Breanna Angel; Norwood, Emma Wright; and Sterchi, Elaine Sheddan.

awesome to see our ideas come to life. We are doing everything we can to make our new building beautiful as well as environmentally friendly. We have already been working with TVA for help with solar energy.”

The plans were drawn by Benjamin Conway Garlington, Architect & Associates of Knoxville.

Lim said that the New Asia Café will require more employees. He is always on the lookout for good cooks who know how to prepare authentic Malaysian, Japanese/sushi, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes.

Phillip and Louise Lim, owners of Asia Café North and Asia Café West, have contracted with Sandy Loy at Construction Plus to build a new restaurant at 1708 North Callahan Drive near the Jubilee Banquet Facility.

The proposed 12,270square-foot building will include a Hibachi grill, stateof-the-art kitchen with ample prep and storage rooms, a karaoke bar, spacious front and rear patios, a sushi bar and separate dining facilities for Western-style foods (steaks and potatoes), Mexican, Italian and Asian dining, along with a 192-square-foot dance

floor.

Phillip Lim said that the time has come for this expansion. Asia Café will leave its current location at the corner of 6714-B Sandy Loy North Central Ave. by July 2015.

“Louise and I are truly excited,” he said. “This is something we have been dreaming about for quite a while. We have enjoyed the planning process. It is

By Bonny C. Millard Nina Morgan, a professional athlete and mentalhealth counselor, combined her interests in improving physical health and emotional well-being when she opened a Farragut franchise of Planet Beach in January.

Planet Beach is an automated spa. When Morgan, a former competitive bodybuilder, was researching the franchise with her husband, Justin, she realized this was an opportunity to help people feel better physically as well as provide a way to reduce stress and improve their overall outlook. Morgan, who has a master’s degree in mental-health counseling, worked at Cornerstone of Recovery for eight years.

Planet Beach offers a number of automated services to help people unwind from their busy and stressful lives. Morgan said her spa offers benefits in the areas of pain management, insomnia, skin conditions, joint problems and weight loss. The original Planet Beach started out as a tanning salon about 20 years ago but changed to the spa concept in 2010. The newer franchises, such as Morgan’s salon, do not use ultraviolet lights, and the older ones are phasing them out, she said.

Morgan will open a second area location on Bearden Hill next to Bonefish Grill in July.

Manager Kimberly Trezise explained that the spa is divided into a number of stations, allowing members to achieve different results.

Michelle Tuck works the controls while Amber Khaddouma enjoys the massage in the Planet Beach DreamWave chair.

During the massage, mem-

bers can also breathe in pure oxygen and do guided meditations.

Other services include the Slim Capsule, a sauna, a hydration station, pbGlow sunless tan, red-light therapy and LED teeth whitening.

Trezise said red light can help repair skin damage including scar reduction and acne as well as tightening up skin.

The spa offers both facial and full-body red-light therapy, which is popular because of the benefits for the skin, she said. Most treatments in the spa last 15 or 30 minutes.

Members have unlimited visits to the spa through a monthly membership fee.

Several different membership plans are offered including for one site only or access to all Planet Beach spas.

Clients fill out a short personal profile and state their goals. Trained employees work closely to assist them in reaching those goals, Trezise said.

“They definitely get that personal one-on-one,” she said.

Morgan said clients who have health issues should consult their doctors.

Information about lifestyle changes that can enhance the spa’s treatments is available to members, but it is up to the individual to decide how to proceed, she said. Morgan, who competed as a bodybuilder for four years, has created a cleaneating food list that includes foods that are unprocessed.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Local hospital honored again for quality achievement award for stroke care For the second straight year, Fort Sanders Regional has received the Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold-Plus Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association for the treatment of stroke patients.

Get With The Guidelines-Stroke helps hospitals provide the most up-to-date, research-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. Fort Sanders Regional earned the award by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for a designated period.

These measures include aggressive use of medications and risk-reduction therapies aimed at reducing death and disability and improving the lives of stroke patients.

“Fort Sanders Regional is dedicated to improving the quality of stroke care and The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke helps us achieve that goal,” said Fort Sanders Stroke Coordinator Nancy Noble. “With this award, our hospital demonstrates our commitment to ensure that our

Dr. Elizabeth Hull (emergency medicine), Dr. Keith Woodward (neurointerventional radiology), Nancy Noble (stroke coordinator) and Dr. Paul Peterson (neurosurgery) celebrate receipt of the AHA/ASA Gold Plus Award for Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. Fort Sanders is a Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. patients receive care based on internation“We are pleased to recognize Fort Sandally-respected clinical guidelines.” ers Regional for their commitment and ded-

ication to stroke care,” said Deepak L. Bhatt, M.D., M.P.H., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines steering committee and Executive Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Studies have shown that hospitals that consistently follow Get With The Guidelines quality improvement measures can reduce patients’ length of stays and 30-day readmission rates and reduce disparity gaps in care.”

The guidelines also help in implementing prevention measures, which include educating stroke patients to manage their risk factors and to be aware of warning signs for stroke, and ensuring they take their medications properly. Fort Sanders Regional makes customized patient education materials available upon discharge, based on the patients’ individual risk profiles.

According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the No. 4 cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States.

On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

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

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

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

S – SPEECH: Is your speech slurred or garbled?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

About 87 percent of strokes are caused by blood clots. If a clot is diagnosed within the first three hours, it can be treated with a powerful clot-busting medication with tPA (tissue plasminogen activator).

While many people do not seek treatment during the time window (for example,

if their stroke occurs during the night), Sullivan was fortunate that his stroke happened while he was awake and that his family called for help.

Sullivan received tPA. He was also taken to Fort Sanders’ neuro-interventional suite.

There, neuroradiologist Dr. Eric Nyberg and diagnostic radiologist Dr. Scott Wegryn removed the blot clot in a minimally invasive procedure called brain angioplasty.

“This is a good example of an interdisciplinary team working to provide care,” said Dr. James Hora, a neurologist at Fort Sanders who also saw Sullivan.

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

We got called and confirmed the stroke and discussed the options with Mr. Sullivan and his family, and we made a decision all of us together. Off he went to the neuro-interventional suite, and he did very well,” said Hora.

Ellen Sullivan said all her husband’s treatments were finished within two hours.

“We were there at 9:10 a.m. and I’d say they were done with everything at 11 a.m.,” she said.

“Dr. Nyberg came into the waiting room, and he was so good about letting us know what was going on. He talked on the phone with my son who is a nurse in Mississippi.

I thought that was going above and beyond the call of duty.”

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

“The people there were so nice to me,”

Bert and Ellen Sullivan celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their grandchildren. The Mississippi residents found themselves at Fort Sanders Regional when visiting East Tennessee in March. Bert Sullivan received life-saving care after suffering a stroke and is now back home and undergoing therapy.

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

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

“They thought it was going to be two weeks, then it was one week. Well we were out of there in four days!” said Ellen Sullivan. “I feel like Bert got the best care and they saved his life with their efficiency and

speed. They worked so well together.”

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

“We’re just praying for complete recovery. This was a very emotional, bad time,” she said. “But at Fort Sanders you felt the comfort that you do when you’re at home.”

had served as a courier in the Civil War for his father, a brigadier general in the Confederate army.

Caswell became one of Knoxville’s most prosperous real estate developers and donated the land that became Caswell Park.

Crotwell describes herself as an Air Force brat who lived all around the country and ended up spending her high school years in Oak Ridge. She is a graduate of UT, where she earned an undergraduate degree in English and a law degree.

She volunteers often and was a board member and later president of CASA of East Tennessee, an organization that assists abused children. She developed and currently administers a program for the non-profit Ride For Life to provide grants covering legal services for persons who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She offers pro bono legal services through Legal Aid of East Tennessee Inc. and the Tennessee Family Justice Center.

During any free time she can grab, she likes to kayaking, hiking, bicycling and yoga, frequently accompanied by “Bug,” the beagle mix she rescued from the woods one cold winter day.

for Elder Care of East Tennessee

By Betty Bean

Four years ago, Amelia Crotwell took a leap of faith and left the Farragut law firm where she had built a successful practice to strike out on her own in a whole new direction.

During the course of her work, she had taken the case of an elderly woman with dementia who had been swindled. Crotwell found that she enjoyed the process of helping make her client whole, so she started taking similar cases and gradually began developing an elder law practice.

She launched Elder Law of East Tennessee in 2010 and moved the firm into one of Knoxville’s landmark historic buildings, the William S. Caswell House at 428 E. Scott Avenue, facing Hall of Fame Boulevard, earlier this year. She is a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) through the National Elder Law Foundation and the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal

Education and Specialization.

She says she couldn’t be more satisfied.

“I have never looked back,” she said. “I am very fulfilled, professionally and personally. I spend an hour and a half with clients and get embraced as they leave the building. That didn’t happen when I was doing divorces – well, hardly ever.”

Crotwell started out with a part-time social worker and a part-time paralegal as her only support staff. Now Elder Law of East Tennessee has two attorneys, two social workers, a law clerk, an office manager, a public benefits specialist, a public information/ marketing specialist, a law clerk , an events coordinator and a support staffer/runner, and isn’t like most other law firms.

“People call and get an appointment to speak, free of charge, with one of our social workers. That’s a way for them, and for us, to find

out if we are a good fit. If we are, we’ll invite them in for a consultation that can last for up to two hours. We’ll talk about more than they expect to talk about – their living situation, their health, their finances, their objectives and their worries and fears,” Crotwell said.

“If we’re retained, we will come up with an action plan for them, and we’ll hold their hand and walk them through it. We also do a lot of teaching.”

The firm charges a flat initial fee with an initial payment and a smaller annual fee thereafter.

For their money, clients get all the services the office has to offer and
