Fountain City celebrates its people By Libby Morgan It would be difficult to find anyone more “Fountain City” than Jean Payne. She was born in Fountain City 81 years ago, attended Fountain City Elementary and Central High, taught at Central, has attended Fountain City United Methodist Church her whole life, is on the board of the Fountain City Art Center, and has lived her life helping other people in Fountain City. Payne was named Fountain City Woman of the Year on Memorial Day in Fountain City Park. “My goodness! Having lived here literally all my life, the community and the institutions of Fountain City have nurtured me. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back, if in any small way,” Payne says. Big Gene (her husband) and Little Jean met in the first grade and live in Fountain City, of course, and Jean says, “I treasure the time I spent teaching my students American government and comparative political systems, and I dearly love seeing how my students have fared as they have grown up. “I have been fortunate to be able to keep up with my students as they have become adults, including Nick Pavlis, who’s now on City Council, and our newest Friend of Fountain City, Joe Walsh, and many, many more,” she says. Payne was named Teacher of the

She chaired several winning election campaigns, getting Tommy Schumpert, Earl Hoffmeister and Alan Morgan into office. After retiring from teaching, Jean says she took on her second career at the church, as director of the singles and retirees program, and she coordinates medical transportation for members who need help

Roy Hembree Roy Hembree’s business, Broadway Barber Shop, seems to be the center of the universe for Fountain Citians. Every subject imaginable is discussed and joked about in that comfortable way between friends who’ve known each other, oh, say 40 or 50 years. Or more. Hembree got started on his ca-
reer in 1960 and shortly thereafter landed at Fountain City Barber Shop with Ray Wallace. Soon he was running Smithwood Barber Shop for Wallace, and soon after that, he bought it. He opened Broadway Barber Shop in 1993, and still uses Wallace’s indestructible barber chairs from the early ’60s. If only those chairs could talk! Hembree’s family conspired to get him to show up at Honor Fountain City Day. He intended to stay home and work on a project, but they guilted him into coming, saying they all wanted to go and didn’t want to leave him behind. He made it, and he now proudly displays his Fountain City Man of the Year plaque,alongside his Lion of the Year plaque from last year. The Lions recognized Hembree for successful fundraising efforts, which included a challenge for him to walk his age in laps, for which he raised $7,000. “I’m not from here, but Fountain City has adopted me. My heart’s always been here. I just try to treat people better than I want to be treated. “I want to thank Fountain City for accepting me. I’ve made a whole lot of friends here,” Hembree says. Don Jones, in the barber chair with Roy’s razor at his throat, said, “I’ve never heard anybody say anything bad about Roy.”

Condo wars:
Who polices homeowners associations? By Betty Bean Disputes within homeowners groups can get ugly, particularly in condominium developments where neighbors live cheek by jowl. Last Tuesday evening a group of Devanshire subdivision homeowners were set to meet with a reporter at Tracey Gross’scondo to air complaints against their homeowners association. That afternoon, Gross was rushed to the emergency room at Parkwest Medical Center with chest pains and spiking blood pressure. She was stabilized and re-
turned home to host the meeting. Still wearing her hospital bracelet, she pointed to water stains on her living room ceiling. Condo owners pay monthly dues and annual special assessment fees to fund the external repairs that are the responsibility of the HOA. Gross says the stress of dealing with Devanshire’s unaddressed maintenance issues and financial problems, plus the ongoing tension in the neighborhood, is ruining her health. Last September, Gross’s neighbor Judy Hedden sent a letter to the

She and Gross are part of a group of Devanshire homeowners who are tangled in a legal dispute with the HOA board, and she wanted to know if MPC – or anyone – has the authority to regulate homeowners associations. “On the surface, an HOA may appear to be good for the community. The problem is that there is no oversight. This puts an unfair burden on the homeowners to have to take legal action in what could be avoided in the first place,” Hedden’s letter said. She received a reply from MPC director Mark Donaldson, who addressed the question of whether MPC could remove an HOA board for misconduct. “The answer to that is a definitive To page A-3

Condo wars: no. The planning commission does not require the creation of an HOA, so it stands to reason that it has no authority to intervene in the actions of an HOA. I do not foresee a situation in which the MPC would require an HOA or forbid the creation of an HOA” Donaldson wrote. Devanshire Homeowners Association president Ed Johnson declined to comment on the complaints, citing ongoing legal battles, but issued a warning: “If they are talking to the media about this, they are violating a court order.” The court order Johnson cites is a temporary injunction forbidding Hedden, Gross, Carla Faughnan and four others from acting as Devanshire HOA board members. Members of the dissident group were elected in June 2012 after Johnson and several other sitting

From page A-1 board members walked out of an annual meeting. Chancellor Mike Moyers ruled that the election was invalid for lack of a quorum. Faughnan, who remains as a board member, finds herself in the peculiar position of being both a named defendant and a member of the plaintiff board. She has lived there for 17 years and bought into an 88-unit condo development with amenities appropriate to a community of that size. Over the years, however, she says she watched with alarm as three other “phases” were added to the subdivision, swelling its population to more than 320 units, all of which have rights to use the small on-site pool. She says that roof and other repairs, which are the responsibility of the HOA, go unaddressed while money is poured into projects, like installing speed bumps and repaving the
swimming pool parking lot. “I told them we should be fiduciaries of our condos, and we should take care of them first,” she said. “My shingles were so brittle that when they bent them back, they popped. I gave them three years’ notice, and then I wrote a letter telling them I would like for this to be addressed by April 3. After that, I went to the courthouse and sued. I gave them ample warning.” After much wrangling, Faughnan got her new roof, but says others haven’t been as successful. “My neighbor, who pays his assessment fees every month, says it’s no use fighting them. His roof still is not done.
HOA history At first, Faughnan dealt with developer Jim Carlton, who also ran the HOA in accordance with the Tennessee Horizontal Properties Act (which was superseded by the Condominium Act in 2009). In 2002 he turned the
HOA over to the members, as required by state law after 75 percent of the units are sold. The bank balance was zero, Faughnan and Hedden say. Jim Wright says serving on a homeowners association board is a thankless task. The attorney for the HOA admires Johnson, who, he says, “has the patience of Job. He’s just trying to do the right thing.” Wright says most of the arguments are over how to stretch a finite amount of money to do what needs to be done, and he would like to know what members of the dissident group would do differently. Faughnan, Gross, Hedden and others stand by the complaint they swore on the civil summons they filed last May, when they said the HOA had breached its contract to collect dues because its actions were “not in accordance with (HOA) bylaws” and it had failed to provide services and denied the right to speak and vote.

Restaurant booms with smaller sign Eddie Halliday stood next to the monument sign in front of his Chick-fil-A restaurant on Kingston Pike in Bearden Village and said he’s still not entirely sure what the fuss over signage is about. He is an upbeat guy with a wall-to-wall smile whose voicemail message wishes his callers a blessed day and sounds like he means it.
Betty Bean “I mean, look at Kingston Pike,” he said, pointing to the tavern across the street. “There’s a guy over there with a hot dog painted on his front window.” All in all, Eddie’s got a lot to smile about. He has just finished up his first year as operator of the Chick-fil-A on Kingston Pike. It’s been a smashing success, exceeding all its projections. The meeting room is reserved three or four times a day, except,
of course for Sundays, when Chick-fil-A is closed. Did the goodwill generated by his willingness to back off the initial plan to plant a towering pole-mounted sign out front play into that success? He says he doesn’t know, since he hasn’t tried it the other way. He also says he didn’t have much say in the matter, because the decision was made higher on the corporate food chain, where the deciding factor was the serendipitous timing of having another new store in the works that could use the costly pole sign. “The local guy doesn’t have any say,” he said. “That decision comes from design and construction and was made long ago. I was surprised when (City Council member) Duane Grieve came and talked to me about my sign.” The city’s present sign ordinance allows signs up to 50 feet high, and Halliday said it’s the city’s responsibility to enact signage laws it can live with (something that’s in the works with a taskforce that
will be delivering its work product to the Metropolitan Planning Commission later this summer). He says he feels sorry for Greg and Stacy Harb, operators of the soon-to-be opened Fountain City Chick-fil-A, where a 40- tall pole sign has been extremely controversial. “I know that Greg is really excited about opening,
and will be a real asset to the community,” Halliday said. Chick-fil-A’s willingness to switch out the signage to help its West Knox neighbors reduce the visual clutter on Kingston Pike was commendable, but makes its actions even more frustrating to those who had hoped to receive the same consideration in Fountain City.

Kuhlman, Knox GOP aim high in 2014 There will be 34 open elective offices in Knox County in 2014, and GOP chair Ruthie Kuhlman believes Republicans can fill every one of them. It’s no surprise that a primary target for Republicans next year will be the District 13 state legislative seat now held by former county Democratic chair Gloria Johnson. “We’re really working hard to find the right person to run against Johnson,” Kuhlman says. “We know it’s going to take a very strong candidate because of the make-up of the 13th. It’s not impossible for a Republican to win there. It just has to be the right Republican. We very much want to take that seat.” Being party chair is very much a full time job for Kuhlman, and she stays en-

ergized and excited about the party’s prospects. Since her election in January, she has been meeting with community movers and shakers and with Republican leadership top to bottom. “When I was first elected I heard from so many people that they were called on only every two years – when there was an election – and that they never heard from our party between election cycles. They said they would like to be more involved. That was all the motivation I needed.”
Kuhlman set out on a “listening tour,” determined to find ways to build the party. “We have had great leadership for a long time, from the top down through the precinct level, and if more people want to be more involved we need to find ways to accommodate that.” She has met with most former party chairs. She says it’s not surprising that they are a wealth of good information and advice and have been incredibly supportive of getting greater involvement by a larger number of people. Precinct chairs from all across the county gathered for a meeting last week – a first in the history of the party, Kuhlman says she has been told. Those sessions will continue quarterly. Presidents of GOP clubs from across the county
gathered a couple of weeks ago. They will continue to meet bimonthly. A series of dutch-treat luncheons Kuhlman with elected officials will begin this week, Kuhlman said, and will continue until all have met and had an opportunity to have their ideas discussed. As Kuhlman says: “I’m meeting with everybody you can think of. It’s important to what we’re trying to accomplish that we all find ways to work together to achieve our goal of winning in 2014 with the very best candidates. We want every single one of those offices.” Heads up, Democrats. Time to get your game on…

Bird banding NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier It’s often the unplanned or unexpected surprises that provide the most memorable parts of travelling – people, scenery, food, those sorts of things. I remember seeing a rare and unusual bird on the Galapagos Islands – the woodpecker finch. It is one of a handful of birds known to use tools in its quest for food. It uses twigs and thorns to pry bugs and worms out of their hiding places. We saw it because our bus had broken down. We were wandering up and down some remote road, waiting for rescue, when we got to see the bird doing its amazing thing! And then there was the beautiful, haunting song of the canyon wren echoing off the walls of the Grand Canyon one morning, never-tobe-forgotten music from a tiny ball of feathers and a billion years of rocks. And I remember the best steak I ever ate, at a little place in Hays, Kan., that was doing business in what had been a filling station. It had
been recommended by some locals. Yum. But then I could fill a whole column about food on trips. To get back to the subject: Grandma and I came upon one such interesting and memorable happenstance on the trip we took last month. We set out in early May to see how many species of birds we could find in western Pennsylvania and New York, and we did pretty well, considering the time of year. One morning we were in a place called Braddock Bay, located on Lake Ontario, about 20 miles west of Rochester, N.Y. The area of big, quiet parks with beaches and cliffs overlooking the enormous, oceanlike lake created a scene that I wouldn’t have expected to see in New York. We were there because our New York bird-finding book said it was the site of a long-standing annual hawk watch, where superbirders sit all day and count hawks and other big birds migrating northeast along the shoreline of the huge lake as they work

their way north. Where there is a hawk watch, there should also be friendly, knowledgeable birders, and we hoped for some good local information as well as good looks at a bunch of interesting hawks. So here was the unanticipated part: they not only knew their stuff, they said that there were two active bird-banding stations a short distance away around the bay. Now, you must understand that coming upon a local active bird-banding operation is a really big deal for a couple of itinerant birdwatchers. These stations are run by avid and expert bird people who really know their local birds, what’s there when, and where to go to find them. And the extra bonus on this trip was the nearby raptor-banding station, where they were using live starlings as bait to catch and band the big guys: the hawks and other birds of prey. It sounded like Hog Heaven for birders to us, and we were soon off to find the action. But first: what is bird banding, and why? People have been curious about the lives of birds ever since there were people, I suspect. How they fly, what they eat (and how they taste) and, in particular, where they go when they’re not here. They leave, and they return, every year, predictably. It used to be common knowledge that the swallows spent their winters asleep in the mud at the bottom of ponds and marshes and that the hummingbirds flew south each fall on the backs of geese. To solve the problem, a way was needed to mark in-
Bird banding in progress Photos by Bob Collier dividual birds, so they could be identified when they were encountered again. Various schemes were tried, but nothing worked well until, in 1899, a Danish professor named Christian C. Mortensen developed a system for attaching light aluminum rings to the legs of ducks, starlings, storks and sea birds. The practice spread throughout Europe, and by 1902, scientists at the Smithsonian Institution were studying the movements of a bunch of black-crowned night herons by banding a hundred of them. Standard practice is to capture wild birds in nets or traps, put on the tiny band identified with a series of numbers and data and release them unharmed to go about their usual business. Then if the bird is shot, recaptured or found dead at some other location, even 1,000 miles away, tons of information can be gained, such the bird’s age, or how far it has travelled and the like. A person must be trained and federally licensed under rules of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to band birds, with extra permits to band hummingbirds or big birds of prey. All the data gathered, including a file of every band put on across the

U.S., goes into a big file at the U.S. Bird Banding Laboratory in Laurel, Md. If a bird band is recovered anywhere, all the info about it can be obtained from the lab, and all bands that are recovered are reported to them. A bird-banding station runs with the efficiency of an operating room (but it’s a lot more cheerful). Everything is laid out in orderly fashion, and each team member coolly does his or her job; all goes smoothly amid considerable seeming chaos. There is one person in charge, someone with a prodigious knowledge of the tiniest details of bird identification, including sex, age and physical condition. Our new friends at the Braddock Bay banding station had 30 badminton net-like mist nets set up, and they were making the rounds of the nets every 30 minutes, from sunrise through the next six hours each day. The birds were carefully removed from the nets, popped into little cloth bags and brought back to the station for weight, measurements, banding and release. The all-important secretary recorded the data as the workers shouted them to her, like a short-order cook in a fast food joint. There were a

Once out of the nets, they were mostly calm and curious about what was going on. Sometimes the observers are allowed to hold and release a bird. To have a gorgeous live hummingbird perched in the palm of your hand, looking you in the eye and then zooming away to freedom once more, is an experience you never forget. Just to see all those little guys up close and personal was great fun. Neat people, excellent experiences and lots of material to reminisce about in the days ahead. You just never know what you’ll run into next. Maybe even another small, well-kept secret steakhouse.

A-6 • JUNE 3, 2013 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news get a raise. He is excellent at sales. Fans have scrambled onto the band wagon. Ol’ Vols have offered endorsements. Prospective players have demonstrated keen interest. This is very encouraging. As good as it looks in the preceding paragraph, none of this will make much difference at Oregon. Outsider enthusiasm and two more verses of “Rocky Top” probably won’t scare the Gators or alarm the Crimson Tide. Insider enthusiasm might affect some games. If the Volunteers really do work hard at getting better this summer and if they stay healthy and if they believe miracles are possible, Tennessee might upset somebody big.
That is essentially what Dave Hart said as he patted himself on the back for hiring Butch Jones. He said these Vols are now capable of overachieving. If it happens, blame it on Butch. He brought a believable plan, brick by brick he calls it, with an emphasis on accountability. He hired good help, people he knew and could count on without wasting time double-checking to determine which assignments were completed. Jones’ assistants may, in fact, turn out to be among the most functional units. There are recruiting maniacs in the group. Tireless. Relentless. Going only on what I hear, I am impressed. Go-
ing on what he has seen and heard, so is the athletic director. Hart says what Jones has done is gratifying, even exciting. His first choice of words to describe the coach is “passionate.” That’s good enough. Passion had to be part of Jones’ previous success. He has never had overwhelming talent in great numbers. He still doesn’t. After what we’ve been through, even guarded optimism is refreshing in Big Orange Country. I have decided to join the movement. I’m in – with one out clause. How long I stay will eventually be determined by wins and losses.

were all but overwhelming. However, to truly walk in the way of the Cross is to follow Jesus, day by day. It is to be obedient to His way, to be willing to give up one’s own will and way, and to become, step by step, like Him. It is to follow, to give, to obey, to suffer, and to die if need be. One who walks with Christ is never alone. Walking with Christ, we learn about him. We also learn things about ourselves we wish we did not have to know. The Crossway is a crossroads. It is where we are called upon to make choices, to turn our faces in one direction or another, and to hold steady. Standing in the Crossway calls us to be true wit-
nesses to Christ. It is an opportunity for growth and for blessing. It is also a risk. Standing in the Crossway can be lonely, confusing, dangerous and sad. Standing in the Crossway may mean standing alone, being faithful even when Christ seems very far away. Standing in the Crossway means bearing the criticisms of those who do not understand, those who disagree, those who scoff. It is the Way of the Cross. It is a path our Lord has walked. It is a place He took a stand on our behalf. It is the very least we can do. We each have to find our own way, our own place, our own Golgotha. Where will you stand in the Crossway?
OK, I’m in Among very valuable readers are those who, from time to time, offer guidance and coaching tips on how to write these tales of Tennessee. Email address at the bottom invites commentary. I appreciate assistance. I sometimes disagree, but I try to remember to be polite and say thank you. In early December, one reader in particular scoffed at Butch Jones’ “dream job” comment. He is still scoffing. He says UT may have been “a” dream job, considering where the coach had been, but not “the” dream job.
Marvin West
His argument has merit: If Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame had extended simultaneous job offers and the pay was comparable, Tennessee would have finished fifth in Jones’ dream. Another reader had a lot to say about Butch bringing the “best” coaching staff in America. Much of it came
down I-75 from Cincinnati. This reader had never heard of Mike Bajakian and couldn’t pronounce his name. He had heard of Willie Martinez and John Jancek and remembered how bad was their Georgia defense and the exact date they were fired. I acknowledged the messages and moved on. To tell you the truth, blind optimists are more fun than skeptical realists. In winning his first six months at Tennessee, Butch Jones has performed as if this really is his chance of a lifetime. I do believe he is pleased to be the coach at Tennessee. That is heartwarming. If the man was being paid by the hour, he would

A decision that brings peace Byy Cindy B Cin indy dy Taylor Tayllor Ryan Ofenloch, the new youth pastor at Union Baptist Church of Halls, and wife Tracy have become entrenched in the ministry of the church after only one month. The couple first met on a high school mission trip while attending different schools. This meeting eventually led to marriage and to both attending Johnson Bible College. Ryan achieved his master of divinity degree in church ministries from Liberty University. Growing up in Halls, Tracy attended Beaver Dam Baptist Church. After mar-

But they didn’t feel they had found their true calling until God led them to Union Baptist Church in April. “I started prayerfully searching for a youth ministry position in 2012,” said Ryan. “The search was really hard on me.” Ryan says the pursuit would sometimes be exciting, sometimes nerve-wracking and often hurtful. “Through the process, God took the time to prepare me in many ways. At one point Tracy and I decided we Tracy and Ryan Ofenloch. Ryan is the new youth minister at were ready and willing to go Union Baptist Church. Photo by Cindy Taylor
anywhere God led us.” Ryan says it was at that point God opened the door for a ministry position at Union. Every Wednesday the Ofenlochs lead an hour of worship, Bible study and fun for middle and high school students. “This past month has been a humbling but fun experience in getting to know the congregation, its leaders and the pastor,” said Ryan. “Developing relationships with the kids has been a good jump-start to a successful, wonderful ministry.” Ryan is the first paid
youth minister on staff. He maintains relationships with the youth pastors at Beaver Dam and at Salem. Ryan calls them mentors and friends. He and Tracy could not be happier with their new church home. “We are so at peace with this decision,” said Ryan. “I have always prayed that my future congregation would be growing in the faith and would run alongside me in ministry. The people at UBC are an amazing body that see the challenges ahead, want to grow and are seeking God’s will to do so.”

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers
Trent paints it red and black Prepares to leave Central High after four years By Sandra Clark “Grab your pad,” said Danny Trent. The man who is leaving as principal of Central High School tore out for a campus tour, this reporter jogging to keep pace. Like a politician, he worked the crowd. Spotting a maintenance staffer from the central office, he said, “Yes, those bathrooms are the same as the day they were fixed.” He referred to a refurbishing of the men’s and women’s rooms in the commons area, as elegant as any in town. The maintenance guy just grinned. “You’ve gotta have faith in (the students),” said Trent. “And keep the doors locked,” said the maintenance man.
*** Danny Trent will be the principal at Farragut Middle School this fall, replacing Heather Karnes who retired. He denies asking for the transfer, but says he’s looking forward to the challenge. Until Central, his background was in middle schools, and he was mentored by principals Jim Ivey, Bobby Gratz and Paul Williams. He says the four years at Central will make him a better middle school principal because he now understands what his students need to be successful in high school. “Changes are coming by the second (in education),” he said. All schools will implement the Common Core next year – another challenge for teachers. And another challenge for Trent will be his wardrobe. His closet is filled with red, black and white. He said his mom liked the change from Karns blue because the bolder colors “make your gray hair look good.” Now he needs new clothes in Admiral blue and gray.
*** Back to the tour. Wow! Things look different at Central High School. There’s an explosion of red and black. And no graffiti. The old nets that former principal Pat Mashburn had installed to combat roosting pigeons are gone, replaced by a wall and a banner in red and black that reads: “Dream, B e l i e v e , Achieve.” In the commons you’ll find those new restrooms with tile and wallpaper, new tables, a cyber café where kids can access a dozen computers while eating, a television dialed to ESPN and picnic tables outside. There’s new energy at Central and “you can feel it,” says Trent. Posters and displays are a part. CHS

Scholarship boards like this one cover exterior walls at Central High School.
staff have installed exterior signs with the names of scholarship winners. Up by the library, a poster proclaims students who earned all As in the most recent semester. There are students of the month and teachers of the month. “Paint is cheap,” says Trent. Hallways and the library boast 24 huge posters, hand-drawn by students copying artists from the old masters to Georgia O’Keeffe. And there are quotes and slogans everywhere, ranging from Walt Disney to Lil Wayne. “Yes, I know who he is,” says Trent. He asked both teachers and students to recommend quotes, and painted those suggested by teachers outside their classroom. Even classrooms are different at Central, especially in the vocational building out back. The old cosmetology lab has been converted to a health sciences room with hands-on training in CPR and patient care. Graduates get certificates and a head-start in college classes, Trent said. The old storage room is now a “home living” class for special needs
students who learn life skills including job skills at school. And a new culinary arts program to prepare students to work in the food industry will be launched this fall in what was the old woodshop classroom. “We’ve got 100 kids interested and the construction should be done by December,” he said. He patterned the program after a successful one at South-Doyle High School. Thanks to Title One funding, Trent has added four computer labs at Central. He says when testing goes online next year, Central is ready. There’s a professional development room where teachers can meet for planning. Outside, security fences have been installed at either side of the open building, and Trent says the entire campus will be fenced this summer. The building is being rekeyed for better security. The school office and guidance offices have been redone for better workflow. An assistant principal and counselor are now housed upstairs in the freshman wing so students can just drop in.

So have these changes boosted academic outcomes? Trent says yes, but stresses that it’s all about timing. The standards were changed the year before he came to Central. Under the old standards, Central students were cruising with 60 to 70 percent proficiency. With the tougher standards, the percentages plummeted. In an apples-to-apples comparison over the past four years: ■ Graduation rate was 70 percent. Now it’s 87.5 percent. ■ Biology proficiency was 39 percent. Now it’s 72 percent. ■ Algebra I proficiency was 25 percent. Now it’s 57 percent. ■ ACT scores are up from 19 to 21.5. ■ Enrollment has grown from about 1,050 to 1,125. Trent uses sports terminology to explain his style. “I’m a recruiter. I hired teachers here that I’d want my own kids to have. … Sometimes you have good teams that don’t win,” he said, explaining his staff turnover. “Sometimes you can go stale.” He invited former principal Jon Miller back to the first graduation. “It was a healing point,” he said. When Trent was sent to Central he decided, “If I can love this school just half as much as Jon does, then I’ll be OK.” He encountered a frosty reception from a staff that strongly supported Miller. He just plunged in, attending every student event possible. “We set goals. I told (the faculty) I didn’t want to hear about schools out west or in Halls. We brought in instructional coaches (to help teachers). We kept working harder and started working a little smarter.” His after-hours efforts at Central robbed him of about 15 hours a week to spend with his own family, Trent estimates. “I’m fine with that and I didn’t ask for this transfer. I’m a team player, but it will be tough when I walk out this door for the last time.” Trent’s family includes wife Karen, a veteran kindergarten teacher at Farragut Primary School; and daughters Danyelle, a senior at UT; Lauren, a junior at Maryville College; and Maddie, a recent graduate of Hardin Valley Academy and now a freshman at UT. What’s he walking into? Trent says Farragut is a strong community with a good school. Heather Karnes has been his colleague for 20 years and he’s already walked the campus with her. Trent says he will always be grateful for the support he received from parents, staff and students at Central. “It’s been a good run. “We can measure scores and achievement, but we cannot measure the heart,” he says. “But now it’s time for a new venture.”

Hudson wins Stephen R. Carden music scholarship
Three named top teachers at Halls High Halls High teachers Elizabeth Williams, Trina Polston and April Thomas were named Teachers of the Year for the school.

Polston has been on staff since 1989 and is known for producing the school yearbook each year and for being the technology guru in the school. Thomas teaches U.S. History and has been at Halls since 1992.

Celebrating Gibbs’ past, present and future By Ruth White Gibbs High School has gone through many changes in the past 100 years. The first school was a two-story brick building. The first graduating class in 1915 boasted eight members. The school was home to students in 1st through 12th grades and when the building burned, students were taught in the “old gym.” “Everyone did what they had to
do while the new school was built,” said 1962 graduate Archie Johnson. Today, the school has more than 1,000 students in grades 9-12. “We continue to make improvements to the old building,” said 1978 graduate and current principal Lynn Hill. “This summer the old building will be re-tiled and we are working to have wireless internet for the campus.”
Ted Greene and Leisa Hutchison Greene, class of 1975, look through an old yearbook at a photo of Ted during his junior year in high school (inset). They were friends in school and attended their junior prom together. Thirty-two years later they reconnected and were married.
Mabel Acuff, 1930 graduate of Gibbs High, returned to the school in 1939 as a staff member. Acuff recently turned 100 and was recognized during the celebration.
Ernie DeZearn and his wife Jane look at photos and memorabilia from Gibbs High during the school’s 100 year celebration. Photos by Ruth White

Lydia Henry Glafenhein, Cindy Parsons Hiatt and Sherry Burnette James (holding Luke Elbell) catch up on fun times they shared with the class of 1974. Glafenhein was the class valedictorian. Kay Stephens Mayes and Darlene Rosenbaum enjoy seeing classmates from the class of 1972 during the centennial celebration at Gibbs High.
Elizabeth Longmire, class of 2015, called Gibbs High “the little school with a lot of heart” and believes that the future of herself and her classmates is just beginning. She is a fifth generation Longmire to attend the school and is proud to be part of strong community ties. As junior class president, Longmire plans to make positive changes to the school and knows that the next 100 years have no limits for Gibbs.

business A place for Eddie As Eddie Mannis leaves government after a brief stint as deputy to Mayor Madeline Rogero and the city’s chief operating officer, we’ve got to wonder if we ever will see him again in public service. Mannis runs when most walk. He multi-tasks incessantly and seems to thrive on problemsolving. He’s a Republican with a Eddie Mannis live-and-letlive attitude on social issues. So here’s his political dilemma: You can’t get to a general election without winning a primary, and Eddie Mannis is unlikely to win a GOP primary. Temperamentally, he’s best suited for administration, ruling out two of the three jobs that are non-partisan – school board and city council. That leaves running for mayor and he says he will not oppose Rogero if (when) she seeks a second term. Can Mannis hold on until 2019? Even then he could face Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis or rising stars now on city council. Mannis comes from a blue-collar background, growing up in Inskip and working in his dad’s restaurant. He was the keynote

speaker last Monday at Honor Fountain City Day. He said he feels a sense of peace and comfort in Fountain City – “especially when I visit Litton’s. Still some of the best food I’ve had.” He learned business skills from his father and by working, at age 15, for the Stormer family at Fountain City Florist. He learned: “Making customers happy was thrilling for me. I absolutely enjoyed delivering a product that people appreciated or even raved about. I’ve tried to do that with Prestige Cleaners, where we focus on excellent customer service.” Mannis said every big business started off small. He quoted the late Steve Jobs: “You need a lot of passion for what you’re doing because it’s so hard. Without passion, any rational person would give up.” Mannis started his dry cleaning business in 1985 with one store and used equipment. He studied accounting in night and weekend classes at Maryville College.
A-14 • JUNE 3, 2013 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news “I had no idea what I was doing and remember so many nights going home and thinking, ‘I just physically can’t do this anymore.’ Like every new business owner I also faced financial challenges. But I really had no choice but to go forward.” Today, Prestige operates 11 locations in Knox and Anderson counties with more than 140 employees, five delivery routes, a shoe repair department, and disaster restoration divisions in Knoxville and Nashville. Small businesses are a real contributor to Knoxville’s economy, he said. Nationally, 28 million small businesses (defined as having 500 or fewer employees) employ 57 percent of the country’s private workforce and pay 44 percent of the country’s payroll. Mannis has left city government to return to Prestige Cleaners, which is poised to make a major acquisition, he said. His advice to small business owners: “Work hard, provide excellent customer service, take care of your employees, always be ethical and make a difference in the community.” Most know of Mannis’s work to bring in and maintain HonorAir in Knoxville. He also sponsors Project Classroom, which allows schools to apply for grants. To date he’s donated $90,000 to schools in Knox, Anderson and Blount counties. So long, Eddie. Keep up the good work. I wish we could find a place for you in government. Knoxville and Knox County would be better for it.

This key message conveys the importance of community cooperation and teamwork, a concept we value highly at Rural/Metro. Our local emergency services network is one of the most effective in the country because we understand that proactively working together as one, solidified unit is essential to protecting the health and welfare of area residents. Our EMTs, paramedics and first responders are at the heart of what we do. Thank you to our Rural/ Metro employees and our community EMS partners for the lives they save every day.

ers ma markets: rk kets: t Tuesdays at Ebenezer, Wednesdays at the UT market, Thursdays at New Harvest, Fridays at Laurel Church of Christ and Saturdays at the Union County High School. Daily picking ensures the freshest of everything is taken to market, and the berry patch will be opened to pick-your-own. “We’re interested in knowing whether we can make a small farm profitable, and make it attractive to the younger generation as a career choice,” says Rick, in earshot of their son, Jim, who’s on the farm this summer on a break from college. Jim’s close to getting a degree in civil engineering. “Weather can be so different every year. We are irrigating the lower portion of the growing field, and hope we can avoid
some of the problems weather can bring.” Rick, a retired Air Force colonel, and Donna Knox met as students at Central High School in Fountain City, and the family lived in Italy and throughout the U.S. before coming home to East Tennessee. The family is erecting a building down near the road in “eventual” anticipation of a retail store, a commercial kitchen with room for processing produce, and frozen storage of the beef that is processed elsewhere. “The water is the best anywhere, so we might bottle it at some point. In keeping with a commitment to sustainable agriculture, we’re thinking about solar electricity. Our daughter in Clarksville is becoming active in winemaking, so we may get into that at some Jim, Donna and Rick Riddle with their blueberries at Seven point,” says Rick. Springs Farm.

yesterday (June 2), but he’s staying on for a month or so to help out. His replacement, Dennie Humphreys, is coming from a church in Athens, Tenn. Humphreys’ first Sunday is June 30. “This new church will also fit my style. I’m not as liturgical as others. I always said high church is like eating a possum. I can do it but I probably wouldn’t like it. “The nice thing is I can tell all my stories again (at First UMC Alcoa). That’s one of the challenges of being in the same place for a long time, creativity.” Marston and his wife, Mary Ann, will continue to live in the area. Mary Ann will continue to run the vision clinic at the Halls Walmart.
“It’s hard to leave because of the personal attachments you have to everybody. It’s not just a job. And people still having ongoing issues, whether they are seriously ill or have other ongoing problems. You wish everything could just be fixed. It hasn’t really dawned on me that I’m moving. I’m kind of in denial at this point.” Marston says the church is in fine shape. The music program is booming, offering bluegrass, Southern Gospel, country, traditional and contemporary music at various services. The $1.3 million building project is off to a good start. The church has $200,000 on hand and has commitments for an additional $500,000.
Ready for prime time Central High grads producing beef, berries, more By Libby Morga Morgan an When is the last time you put a bite of truly prime beef in your mouth? Maybe never, unless you’ve paid a pretty penny for it at a restaurant, or you grew your own. Prime beef in the United States is a rare commodity, but the finest, most tender beef is available right here in Union County. “Our cattle graze on rotation through our fields, they drink fresh spring water and they are never fed antibiotics or hormones,” says Rick Riddle, co-owner with his wife, Donna, of Seven Springs Farm in Maynardville. The Riddles are raising grass-fed Angus on some of their 370 acres, a farm that’s actively producing a wide range of vegetables, berries and tomatoes in an amazingly short time
frame f ram me ssince ince the he family fa bought the land in 2005. Right now an acre of blueberries is poised for picking soon, tomatoes are coming on in their protected garden, green beans are poking up out of the ground, and the first crops of sweet corn are planted. Grapevines bearing muscadines and concords are stout and healthy. A recent post on Facebook by Donna says, “…he (son Jim) and Rick handplanted over a thousand tomato and pepper plants yesterday. Thanks for your hard work.” So far this spring, the Riddles have been taking beef, asparagus, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, onions, radishes and more to farmers markets in Union and Knox counties. Seven Springs is becoming a fixture at area farm-
End of an era Marston leaves Christ UMC By Jake Mabe There’s no other way to say it. Bruce Marston’s departure as pastor of Christ United Methodist Church is the end of an era. Marston helped found the church in November 1991. It grew out of two former churches, Halls Central and Bright Hope (later Aldersgate) United Methodist. The new church began meeting at the previous home of Grace Baptist Church, which now meets at the old Halls Central United Methodist sanctuary. Bruce just jokes.
“I’m the best pastor this church ever had and in a month I’ll be the worst.” He is known for his wit. He is also known for his frugality. That’s one reason why he decided to put his name forward for reassignment. “I’ll soon be 62. This church is getting ready to build a new building. If they do it in eight years, which is a quick turnaround, I’ll be 70.” Marston has been named pastor of First United Methodist Church of Alcoa. His last Sunday as pastor of Christ UMC was

“This church will do well. I think they’ll like (Humphreys). He likes the music here. He’s excited about that.” Marston grew up on a farm in Kentucky in a family filled with preachers. “I saw people farm and I saw people preach and I said, ‘I think I’ll be a preacher.’” He has been preaching since July 1970 except for a 1.5-year break to work for a company that renovated church sanctuaries. He came to Knoxville to serve as pastor at Inskip Baptist Church. “I’ve had a good run. The church family is our family because all of my family lives in Kentucky. The people are just good people.”

Dental Answers Dr. Steven C. Crippen Question: “How long have dental numbing agents or anesthetics been available in dental offices?� Answer: This is a little out of the norm for questions that we receive, but I am happy to answer this, especially since I have an interest in history. In 1905, the German chemist Alfred Einhorn synthesized the first relatively safe local anesthetic, procaine. It was given the trade name “Novocaine.� Procaine or “Novocaine�, became more and more routinely used throughout the next 40 years. By the 1950’s a newly synthesized local anesthetic called
lidocaine had gained more common usage, and was found to cause fewer allergic reactions than procaine. Lidocaine is still the local anesthetic most commonly used in dentistry. Before 1905, other agents and chemicals had been tried as anesthetics, but often with severe side effects. Such agents included ether, chloroform, and even the now illegal drug cocaine. Questions for “Dental Answers� are welcomed and should be sent to our address at 7409 Temple Acres Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37938.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Learn to manage your diabetes
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes, you may be overwhelmed with information. Taking care of your diabetes does make a difference! You will not only feel better, but good blood sugar control can help delay and even prevent the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage. Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Diabetes affects 25.8 million Americans, or 8.3 percent of the population. Most people with diabetes, about 90 to 95 percent, have Type 2. Obesity and lack of physical exercise are two of the most common causes of Type 2 diabetes, although not everyone with the disease is overweight. At the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center, a team of certified diabetes educators work with each client to develop a lifestyle plan. “We provide the patient with an individualized meal plan, food preferences and a weight goal,” explains Lucy Deatherage of the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center. “We give people the tools to manage their diabetes,” says Deatherage. A series of classes that contain

The Fort Sanders Diabetes Center is located off Kingston Pike in the Fort Sanders West Medical complex. Satellite offices are also located in Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Sevierville and at the Fort Sanders Perinatal Center. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, provide coverage for diabetes education.

Start moving and control diabetes and after exercise. If your blood sugar level is either too low or too high before you begin to exercise, it is best to wait until your level improves. It is also very important to monitor your blood glucose when you exercise in unusually hot or cold conditions, since temperature changes affect how your body absorbs insulin. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, usually occurs slowly, so when you exercise, it’s important to pay attention to how you are feeling. If you feel shaky, anxious, sweat more than usual or have a change in your heartbeat, you should stop exercising and do what your health provider advises to treat low blood sugar. It is a good idea to Ask your physician eat a small snack, such what types of exercise are safe ibility, such as gentle stretching as a piece of fruit, before exercisfor you.

Being active is a great way to help control diabetes. Exercise helps lower your blood sugar. During physical activity, your body uses insulin much more efficiently than it does at rest. Exercise also helps you lose weight. Being overweight makes it harder for your cells to use insulin and can lead to a condition called insulin resistance. Shedding extra pounds can help you control your glucose levels and avoid other health problems, such as heart disease, osteoarthritis and hypertension.
What kind of activity is best for me?
Should I take any safety measures?
Know your type: Diabetes differs Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is not preventable and is usually diagnosed before age 40. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body isn’t producing enough insulin or the insulin is not efficiently moving sugar out of the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity. Diet, exercise, weight loss and sometimes medications are the treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Approximately 85 percent of all diabetes patients have Type 2. Gestational diabetes occurs in about 4 percent of pregnancies. It usually disappears after childbirth. Gestational diabetes can often be contr trolled with dietary changes, but may require glucoseb moderating medications or insulin. If untreated, gestational diabetes can harm both mother and baby. Talk with your doctor to learn more about your diale betes type and what treatment bete is best for f you.

ter habitats with plenty of interactive activities along the way. Your youngsters will have much to see and do. They (and maybe you?) can even crawl right into the middle of a penguin habitat and pop their heads up to see what’s going on! And don’t miss “Dolphin Tales,” a live show that will take your breath away. For those who want a more intensive experience, there is a rich variety of interactive programs (ticketed and purchased in advance) for all ages and abilities, including “Beluga and Friends.” Trained scuba divers can access the Ocean Voyage exhibit, home of the whale sharks, earth’s biggest fish. It takes a big tank to hold them; in fact, it’s the largest indoor exhibit of fish in the world, holding 6.3 million gallons. The whale sharks are so big (up to 35 feet long) that your jaw will hit the floor the first time you see one, yet they’re gentle plant eaters with a gullet the size of a dime! If you’re looking for a vacation option a little closer to home this year, you can’t beat The Georgia Aquarium.
