BUZZ New bridge for Holbrook Drive City of Knoxville contractors have begun work on the Holbrook Drive Bridge Replacement Project in Fountain City. The work consists of removing and replacing the existing bridge on Holbrook Drive over Fountain Road, near the First Baptist Church of Fountain City. The project is expected to take 10 months. Road closures at Holbrook Drive and Fountain Road will be in effect for the duration. To detour around the project, from Fountain City Lake take Midlake to right on Kingwood to right on Dahlia Drive. The funding for the almost $2 million project is 80 percent federal ($1,514,111.52),16 percent state ($302,822.31) and 4 percent city ($75,705.58).

Fountain City Lake update Work continues on Fountain City Lake, but city officials say there won’t be any publicly noticeable changes for a while. “The lake level will be up and down several more times heading into fall,” said Eric Vreeland, communications manager. “It was drained last fall while the earthen weir was repaired, and then again six weeks or so ago, when the environmental engineer, Lamar Dunn, measured the topography of the lake floor. “The lake refilled, then was lowered again, as a shear gate valve was installed to fi x the weir mechanisms. Then it refilled in time for the Fountain City Day festival.” Vreeland said future drawdowns will occur when piping is added for an aeration system, for grading to adjust the lake’s depth in spots, and finally for planting new vegetation for the carefully-designed ecosystem. “So people who use the lake should anticipate two to three more drawdowns before the corrective plan is finalized, with the aim being a betterfunctioning and sustainable ecosystem with much less algae.”

Budget hearing Knox County Commission has set a budget hearing for 6 p.m. Monday, June 8, at the City County Building. Residents are invited to attend and speak. Mayor Tim Burchett has submitted a balanced budget that does not require a tax increase yet offers a three percent pay increase to general government employees and deputies.

Fountain City Man and Woman of the Year Johnson, Whittaker honored by Town Hall By Shannon Carey Fountain City Town Hall honored two longtime community members May 25 at the annual Honor Fountain City Day event. Hardy Johnson and Mary Ellen Whittaker were named Man and Woman of the Year for 2015. Born and raised in Fountain City, Johnson is a third-generation shoe-repair expert. He went to work full time when he was in the eighth grade, pausing only to serve in the Korean War starting in 1951. He still owns and operates the Shoe Repair Shop in Fountain City. Whittaker is a 51-year resident of Fountain City. While raising four children, she held many jobs, volunteered in the PTA and was active in her church, Fountain City United Methodist. She is a past president of the Fontinalis Club. She now has nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Also honored were David and Lori Hensley for residential beautification and Planet Fitness for commercial beautification. City Council member Nick Della Volpe was named Friend of Fountain City, and Church of the Good

Carey Shepherd received the Chairman’s Award for allowing Fountain City Town Hall to meet in its fellowship hall for more than 10 years. The Memorial Day event was a celebration of 40 years of Honor

Fountain City Day. Food vendors, crafters, musical acts and special activities were available all day in Fountain City Park. Special presentations honoring the community and veterans started

at 3 p.m. “Communities like this are what makes Knox County a great place to live,” said Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, the keynote speaker.

Community Design Center begins 1,000th project By Wendy Smith East Tennessee Community Design Center Executive Director Wayne Blasius is still new to the job, but he was the first to recognize that the organization had reached an important milestone. The nonprofit reBruce McCarty cently took on its 1,000th project. “I thought it was a great opportunity to blow our horn,” he says. The project is for First Tee of Greater Knoxville, a nonprofit foundation that helps young people develop values like honesty, integrity and sportsmanship through golf. The organization plans to use a grant from the United Way to improve its Williams Creek Golf Course facility, 2351 Dandridge Ave. The design center, located in the Greystone Carriage House at

1300 N. Broadway, utilizes volunteer design professionals, and it was a happy coincidence that David Collins of McCarty Holsaple McCarty Architects and Interior Designers was next in line for a project. Bruce McCarty, a founder of McCarty Holsaple McCarty, was also the founder of ETCDC. McCarty, whose design legacy includes the 1982 World’s Fair, the City County Building and several buildings on the University of Tennessee campus, raised his family in the Bearden area. He was president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects when he took a road trip to visit community design centers in the Northeast in 1969. His sons and another local architect tagged along. Doug McCarty, the current president of McCarty Holsaple McCarty, was 16 at the time. The group met with the executive director of the Philadelphia design center, who explained the process of engaging design pro-

fessionals to help the community. His dad thought it was a great idea, Doug says. After the trip, he initiated the development of Knoxville’s community design center and served on the board for most of the following decade. Doug joined the board around 1982 and recently became an emeritus board member. The mission of the organization is to make East Tennessee a better place to live and work by providing professional design services to community groups and nonprofit organizations. Concept designs created by the ETCDC are used for fundraising and community buy-in, says studio design director Leslie Fawaz. The work for First Tee of Greater Knoxville will include an improved layout for the existing building, which was originally an African-American school for the deaf, as well as the design of a new pavilion and new signage. Fawaz is one of six ETCDC staff

members. The variety of projects is one of the things she enjoys most about her work. The most common are building design, streetscape design and park planning. Another function of the design center is to help communities express their ideas about design. Doug McCarty is especially proud of the role the organization played in the development of the South Knoxville waterfront. The city needed an independent agency to facilitate good communication with affected neighborhoods, and the design center stepped in. Former Executive Director Annette Anderson was successful in that role, he says. “The design center is very good at getting people to sit down at the table and work out problems together.” Bruce McCarty passed away in 2013 at the age of 92. There’s no question that the organization fulfilled his dad’s hopes, Doug McCarty says.

Outspoken teacher gets walking papers; supporters charge retaliation

By Betty Bean Delivering the news to nontenured teachers that they’re not coming back in the fall is one of the last tasks on a principal’s endof-year to-do list. June 15 is the deadline to inform teachers whose contracts will not be renewed. By the end of last week, 33 nontenured teachers had gotten the ax. Fifty-five such contracts were not renewed last year. This number doesn’t include outright firings, retirements, resignations or those who lose their jobs due to funding cuts, nor does it reflect administrative transfers. Nontenured teachers have no appeal rights. The nonrenewal of Christina

Graham, a third-year, nontenured kindergarten teacher at Copper Ridge Elementary School, has not only roiled the rural community where she teaches but is drawing statewide attention because Graham is an outspoken critic of overreliance on high-stakes testing, especially the SAT-10, an achievement test recommended, but not required, by the state for kindergartners through third grade, which Knox County has now discontinued.

Steve Wiley

“Last year, I was in severe heart failure. But look at me now!” A heart attack damaged Steve’s heart so badly that it began to fail. He could only walk a few steps without being exhausted. One major hospital told him his only options were an artiﬁcial heart or a heart transplant, for which he wasn’t a good candidate. But Tennova gave him the opportunity to be part of a clinical trial for a revolutionary device that could be implanted during a minimally invasive procedure. “The relief was instant,” said Steve. “Without Tennova, I’d probably be gone now. Instead, I can spend quality time with my wife, play ball with my grandkids, and hear their laughter.”

Halls has always had it Long before Halls had it, Hubert and Susie LaRue knew about it. The couple keep the history of Halls alive and well inside what was once the residence of Susie’s grandfather Ed McNeil.

Cindy Taylor

From 1924 yearbooks heralding the first graduating class of Halls High School, to photos of Halls WWI and WWII veterans, to wooden crates that were once used to deliver milk from Avondale Farms, you can find it all at the unofficial Halls/Hubert and Susie LaRue Museum. Tours to view these collections are free. Susie has the saddle on display that belonged to her paternal great-grandfather, Hiram Vineyard, when he fought in the cavalry during the Civil War. Hubert has collected hammers and other iron tools that now line the walls of the lower museum. Ed McNeil, Susie’s grandfather, was a blacksmith by trade. His anvil is still in the museum along with many of his tools. Halls natives might be surprised what they can

find in the museum. An Avondale ledger dated 19311948 contained paystubs written to my parents, Mary and Auburn Gaylor. I found senior photos of my brother and sister in Halls yearbooks. Hubert has every Halls yearbook from 1924 to 2012. If you are descended from a Halls resident you can probably find a piece of your own history somewhere in the museum. “If anyone is interested in donating yearbooks from 2013 to 2015, we’d love to have them,” said Hubert. “We are also lacking a Broadman Hymnal and would love to have some old photos taken at Beaver Dam Church.” A photo of Susie as a young girl driving a tractor hangs on one wall.

Exxon to donate ‘ten off the top’ Alvin Frye and Fountain City Exxon, 5306 Broadway, will host “Ten off the Top,” a fundraising event to benefit the Central High School athletic program. Stop by the station 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, June 5, and let the CHS staff pump gas for you. Pictured at the station are: former principal Jon Miller, assistant principal Katie Lutton, Frye, assistant principal Seth Smith, athletic director J.D. Lambert, Jeff Cox of Penn Station and assistant principal David Foust. Frye is donating 10 cents per gallon back to the school. Penn Station East Coast Subs, 4909 N. Broadway, is also participating in the event. Mention CHS at the location on that day, and they will donate 10 percent of the total daily sales to the school.

Coach Serrano is trapped

This is a cruel story. Dave Serrano, Tennessee baseball coach, is trapped, damned if he does or doesn’t. If he works the phones from dawn to midnight, chases around the country until his budget is drained, recruits like a madman and signs the best high school players, he loses. On draft day, major league baseball picks his pocket. If he leans back in his office chair, props his feet on the desk, watches the SEC Network and takes what he can get, he loses. Texas A&M, Florida and maybe Alabama and LSU will have better players because of geography. There is no logical

Marvin West

explanation for Vanderbilt success. Strange how this Serrano plight has developed. Dave was once a very successful coach back home in California, in the Big West Conference. He led Cal-Irvine and Cal State Fullerton to the College World Series. That’s how he got the Tennessee job, a dream come true with a $450,000 salary plus a share of camp profits and

adidas sales. Before that, Serrano was a very effective UT assistant coach, 1995-96, when Rod Delmonico was in charge. The Volunteers, big winners, made their first trip to Omaha in 44 years. Dave returned to his roots but his heart stayed here. He said Big Orange Country was where he always wanted to be. He applied for the head job in 2007 but athletic director Mike Hamilton, better known for firing a football legend and hiring unusual replacements, chose Todd Raleigh as baseball coach. He failed and went away with a 108-113 record. Serrano applied again

New hope for old homes

Last Tuesday was a dark day for historic preservation in Knoxville, but at least it had a silver lining. The Christenberry House at 3222 Kingston Pike was torn down by new owners John and Paula Chesworth, who say it would’ve been too expensive to restore the home after a decade of neglect. The loss of the 1914 Craftsman leaves a gap in a row of historic homes that includes Crescent Bend, the H.L. Dulin House and Bleak House. The timing of the destruction was likely chosen to precede City Council’s approval, on second reading, of an ordinance that requires a 60-day waiting period for a demolition permit for historic structures. The waiting period will give the city and preservation group Knox Heritage the chance to work with owners to find ways to save historic buildings.

Wendy Smith

Knox Heritage Executive Director Kim Trent recalls that much of the 500 block of Gay Street was scheduled to be demolished for a new movie theater until Mayor Bill Haslam put a 45-day delay on demolition in 2005. During the delay, a design solution was found that saved the historic buildings. “That block would not look like it does today if we had not been given 45 days,” Trent says. The goal is for property owners to make money while historic buildings are saved. But solutions can’t be found if there’s no time to

talk, she says. Fortunately, there will now be more time to talk about the Paul Howard House at 2921 N. Broadway. The 1910 Craftsman was home to two city council members, a Knox County trustee and a Knoxville city manager. It has twice been recognized by Knox Heritage for the quality care provided by previous owners Mr. and Mrs. Paul Howard. A big-box developer has offered the highest price on the home. North Knoxville neighbors have created an online fund drive to raise money to purchase it. While Trent was heartbroken to see the Christenberry House destroyed, she was delighted by the public outpouring of outrage on Knox Heritage’s website. There’s been a cultural shift in the way the community regards historic properties, she says. “People are just sick of

in 2011 and Hamilton liked him better. Mike was in the process of hiring Dave when Mike found it expedient to accept a golden parachute and fly to safety. Interim AD Joan Cronan completed negotiations. That was a few minutes before Dave Hart got the keys to the kingdom. Year 4 was supposed to be a very good baseball season. It wasn’t. The end, enhanced by three late victories, was 24-26. Serrano said it was a slap-down experience, humbling, that he realizes he must make philosophical adjustments. He has always had faith in pitching and defense. He’ll try to do something about

his offense, last in the SEC in hits and runs. Key assistant Greg Bergeron has resigned. Serrano can make adjustments but there isn’t time to start over. He has one year to go on his contract. The coach won’t know what he has to work with until after the upcoming draft and the period of meditation when players weigh money offers against the joys of college and value of a degree. Top high school talent uses scholarships to leverage more zeros. The Vols are almost certain to lose some signees. College juniors say now or next year. Tennessee shortstop A.J. Simcox, outfielder Christin Stewart and pitcher-first baseman Andrew Lee are likely to have that choice.

Serrano’s Volunteers have been a major disappointment. The four-year record is 101-110. It is 39-78 against SEC competition. Peak performance has been squeezing into the bottom of the league tournament. A return to Omaha and the national event? Can’t see it from here. It would take a Hubble. This is a sad development. I remember how pleased, yes, excited, Dave was when introduced as the new coach of the Volunteers. He talked about what a special place this is. He said something I have always believed: “There’s no reason in the world that we can’t be successful in all sports.” Make a wish. Maybe it can still happen in baseball.

the destruction.” The new ordinance was created to catch properties that aren’t protected by a historic or neighborhood conservation overlay, says Kaye Graybeal, historic preservation planner for Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission. Properties that are associated with a significant person or event, or represent a particular

type of architecture, or provide historical information, fall into this category. The Howard House fits nicely into this category. The Christenberry House used to. The amended city code won’t keep owners from knocking down their historic buildings. But it forces them to take some time to consider whether they want to embrace the community’s

current passion for preserving our heritage or go against the flow. “It was a sad day for Knoxville,” says Second District City Council member Duane Grieve of the day the Christenberry House came down. It was there in the morning and gone by the time he drove home. Thankfully, the day had a silver lining that might save other historic properties.

Whiteside sentence leaves victim’s family

government

‘a certain kind of peace’

Five years and eight months after Troy Whiteside shot the unarmed Stacey Sudderth 13 times in an East Knoxville parking lot and claimed self-defense, he was clapped into handcuffs and led off to jail to await transport to state prison.

Betty Bean If there are any positives he can take from a stay in Knox County’s Roger G. Wilson Detention Center, it may be his opportunity to spend quality time with an old friend and former boss, ex-trustee Mike Lowe, who is doing seven months for offenses that include paying “phantom” employees, several under the same job title as Whiteside, who worked as an outside auditor/delinquent tax collector from 2000 to 2004 before strik-

ing it rich in Oak Ridge as a contractor with the federal government. If GOP VIPs keep getting busted, Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones may have to build an executive suite and provide a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. But there’s no humor in this matter for the families involved, nor for citizens who watched elected judges and an attorney general beg off the case, citing conflict of interest. They feel that the justice delivered was too little and too late. Last Thursday morning, more than a dozen of Sudderth’s relatives gathered outside the attorney general’s office in the City County Building. The sentencing, scheduled for 10:30 a.m., was put back until noon, a minor setback in a saga that included at least a dozen postponements and street talk that Whiteside would never see a day behind bars. Downstairs, Whiteside waited outside the court-

room with his wife, Jacqueline, and their two sons. Finally, a victim-witness coordinator came to take the Sudderth family to be briefed about what was about to happen. He asked if they were ready to go to court. “Been ready,” Sudderth’s nephew said, drawing grim, knowing laughs. After a while, everybody filed into the courtroom to wait for Senior Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood, who has become the go-to guy for Knox County cases deemed too hot for our local judiciary to handle. There was no mystery in what was to happen – Whiteside, indicted for first-degree murder, would plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter (15 years) and reckless endangerment (six years). The sentences will run consecutively, and he must serve seven years and five months before becoming eligible for release. Jacqueline Whiteside dis-

solved into tears when her husband entered his plea and was led off to be booked. Members of Sudderth’s family cried, too. They said they felt for her but think the sentence negotiated between Third District Attorney General Dan Armstrong and defense lawyer Greg Isaacs is too lenient. Armstrong, elected in 2014, inherited the case from his predecessor, who drew the short straw in 2009. Many political watchers cynically predicted Whiteside would ultimately never serve time, despite having shot Sudderth to tatters, mostly in the back. Lynn Porter, the mother of Sudderth’s daughter Amber, said she’s working on forgiveness but will be keeping an eye on the parole board (something she already knows too much about, as the victim of a violent home invasion and rape in 1998). “I’ve reached a certain kind of peace,” she said.

Republicans shine at fundraiser Republicans rule. You knew it when you read eight featured speakers on the program at the Union County Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner. Thank goodness for the roast beef and mashed potatoes from Anderson Farms Catering from Corryton. On a night of much bull, Anderson’s was the best. It’s hard to hear eight honorable speakers without rating them. So here is one Republican’s take on Keaton (stellar singer Keaton Roach) and the Eight White Guys. Best wit: Tim Burchett. Slinging “d a d g u m mits” dare we say liberally, Burchett drew heavy applause by calling for an elected Burchett schools superintendent and a voucher for veterans to choose their doctor (rather than travel to VA hospitals for treatment). He railed against a Congress that “campaigns against welfare but goes to Washington and votes for corporate welfare.” There will never be enough money for government. “Dadgummit, don’t give the government any more money. People say, ‘Tim, don’t you want us to pay our taxes?’ And I say, ‘yes.’ The Bible says to render unto Caesar, but I say don’t give Caesar a penny extra. Just what he needs.”

Sandra Clark

Burchett said the Republicans need to find a presidential nominee like Ronald Reagan: “He won because he stood for something.” Tough on crime: Jared Effler. The newly elected attorney general told the partisan crowd that he’s kept two campaign promises. He’s ended plea-bargaining for makers of methamphetamines and he’s opened a full-time office with a professional staff in each of the district’s five counties. “I’m personally involved in trying every murder case.” Killer bills: Sen. Frank Niceley discussed his bill to legalize killing wild animals “in self-defense.” A few years back, Niceley sponsored a bill to legalize horsemeat factories. Now he’s sponsoring a “lifetime gun carry bill,” which basically means what it says. No more pesky renewals. And he touts the Legislature’s “killing common core,” a national standard of education objectives. “We made them teach cursive writing and a year of Tennessee history,” he said. “None of that fits in common core.” Dilemma dude: That’s got to be U.S. Rep. Chuck

Fleischmann, now starting his third term. He has a problem shared by all whose district includes a federal facility. He rails against big government, while announcing funds for ORNL and the Chickamauga Lock near Chattanooga. Brevity: Ryan Haynes, the former Knox County legislator who had won election as state GOP chair just days earlier. “We’re Haynes got to start electing people like us,” he said. “The average guy can’t get ahead in crony capitalism. … It starts with stopping Hillary Clinton (big applause). We must pray for our country, work hard in the next election and make sure you continue to vote.”

Party boy: State Rep. Dennis Powers toes the party line. In less than five minutes he endorsed the Defense of Marriage law and the return of coal mining. He said legislators are “making UT and all branches of higher education have an event on Veterans Day.” Powers is vice chair of the GOP Caucus. “Of 99 members, 73 are Republicans.” Homeboy: Andrew Merritt, field rep for Fleischmann, introduced his boss. Merritt is a Union County native and youthful face of the county’s GOP. Banana pudding: It was a good time for dessert when state Rep. Jerry Sexton rose to speak. He won a primary in which massive out-of-state money punished longtime Rep. Dennis “Coach” Roach, who had voted against using tax money for vouchers to private schools.

GOSSIP AND LIES ■ Jeb Bush is the probable Republican nominee for president. He’s got the name, the money and the nationwide connections. And he’s smarter than George W. ■ Maybe Poppa Bush can dust off Dick Cheney to help. ■ With Hillary Clinton the likely Democratic nominee, get set for a Clinton-Bush rematch. ■ Early prediction: A different outcome for the second Clinton-Bush joust.

■ Bill Dunn reflected the extreme fatigue of legislators recently when he said, “I’m what’s left of Bill Dunn.” ■ Year-round campaigns have arrived. Residents of Dunn’s and Rep. Eddie Smith’s districts received giant post cards from an outfit called Tennesseans for Student Success. ■ Frank Cagle was right. These special interests don’t spend gobs of money because they like kids. Beware!

Catching up with the Rukeysers Two weeks ago having dinner with Joan and our daughter, Martha, at Ichiban Asian Cuisine restaurant on Northshore Drive, I saw longtime friends Bill and Elizabeth Rukeyser dining three tables away (their granddaughter is a server at Ichiban). Elizabeth Rukeyser was commissioner of mental health under Gov. Don Sundquist. The Rukeysers live on Rudder Lane in West Knox County. Going over to their table, I learned that Elizabeth, 71, was in Nepal almost in the center of the earthquake on April 25 after having completed a nine-day trek with her daughter Lisa Burn in the Annapurna region. And what a story she had to tell. She was perhaps the only Knoxvillian to be in Pokhara when the earthquake occurred. She was having lunch with her guide and family at their home when the earthquake hit and everything started shaking. They immediately ran out of the house, which suffered major cracks in the walls but did not collapse. She returned to the Baraki Hotel where she had been staying. The aftershocks continued to hit the hotel, and while guests could return to their rooms, during the middle of the night they exited to sleep in tents on the lawn of the hotel due to aftershocks. In fact, the water in the swimming pool continued to roll back and forth long after the above-ground shocks had ended. Rukeyser is an avid trekker having done 13 treks over many years in Nepal. Her immediate issues were to e-mail her husband to let him know she was safe and then to get to Kathmandu to catch her scheduled flight out on Dragon Air to Hong Kong on April 30. She was able to e-mail Bill successfully during the 15 minutes that Internet connections continued in Pokhara before being cut off. It was uncertain if the road from Pokhara to Kathmandu was open, as flights had been canceled and a bus had run off the road, killing several passengers. Her guide found her a driver, and on April 29 they set out to Kathmandu for a seven-hour drive to the Shangri-La Hotel, which was open but operating without a kitchen and serving meals of rice and beans when they arrived safely.

Victor Ashe

The next challenge was to determine if Dragon Air was operating. Fortunately, the airline had continued its flights and her flight on April 30 left with her confirmed seat honored. She arrived the next morning in Hong Kong where she stayed a few days before flying to New York where she met her husband. Rukeyser is planning to return to Nepal in November for her 14th trek. She is an intrepid and fearless traveler who is easily admired. ■ Bob Coker, director of E-911, may not be long for 911 employment as Mayor Madeline Rogero expressed her “surprise” over personnel issues. That is code for either “I am less than pleased” or “I don’t know what is going on here.” Rogero can influence four votes on the board: herself, her police and fire chiefs and Brad Anders, who is a city police officer and County Commission chair. He has already voiced criticism of Coker. Rogero is determined to attend 911 meetings faithfully now and speak whenever she can. If Coker departs, Rogero can play a role in picking the new director as she did with MPC. Will the process be public or closed as MPC was? ■ The departure of Mark Cate as chief of staff to Gov. Haslam is not a total surprise as the job is an exhausting one and Cate’s relations with the Legislature have been rocky of late. Haslam can now retool and start afresh with legislative relations. ■ Council member Marshall Stair is having a kickoff reception for his re-election campaign 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 18, at the home of his brother, Caesar Stair IV, and Megan Stair at 131 E. Scott St. Public invited. ■ Margie Nichols says UT will soon replace the missing Peyton Manning Pass street signs at Phillip Fulmer Drive and Volunteer Boulevard. Nichols says the new signs will have tamperproof bolts to make their removal more difficult. Peyton Manning Pass is now a UT street.

When a reverend and a rabbi talk … By Cindy Taylor When a Baptist preacher and a rabbi get into a conversation about the Bible, you might wonder what the result will be. Well, wonder no more. The Rev. Michael Smith, senior pastor of Central Baptist Church of Fountain City, and the Rabbi Rami Shapiro, teacher at One River Wisdom School and Ayres Center for Spiritual Development, have coauthored three books on Bible discussion and a book about the Passover Seder – a book written especially for Christians to help them understand and respectfully celebrate this Jewish tradition. “We didn’t pretend this was a book about the Jewish Seder,” says Smith. “It is a Christian adaptation.” The two developed a

friendship more than 10 years ago. This led to a blog between Smith and Shapiro that then led to hard copy. If you’re looking for all the answers, these books are not for you. “The longer we knew each other the more we started talking about things that matter,” says Smith. “Among those things are the Scriptures. Eventually we decided it would be fun to write a book as a conversation.” He says sometimes the two go off into left field where they play a while and then come back to their original conversation. “The three books contain dialogues between two really good friends from different traditions,” he says. “We don’t try to tie up loose ends. Laypeople seem to like the books; it drives

theologians up the wall.” The book co-authored by Smith and Shapiro on observing Seder is “Let Us Break Bread Together.” The three books on Bible discussions are “Mount and Mountain,” volumes one and two, and their latest book, “Beginnings.” The three books contain discussions on the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and stories of Genesis. While the dialogue books may not have all the answers, they certainly take you on a great road of thought and discovery. All books can be purchased from Amazon and directly from the publishers, Paraclete Press and Smyth and Helwys, or from the church. Smith has pastored Central Baptist Church of

Blessed to serve By Cindy Taylor

The Rev. Brenda Dowell is just shy of her first-year anniversary as associate pastor at Trinity UMC. She is serving in ministry at a different location from her pastor husband for the first time in 25 years. Even though it has been difficult with the family often going two separate places on Sunday, Dowell says it has been worth it. “The people here at Trinity have been very loving, supportive and welcoming,” she said. “They have accepted my leadership, and I have enjoyed my experience here over the past year. Dowell and twin sister Linda both felt the call to ministry at the age of 16. She planned to pursue a future in missions and did that for

many years in the Baptist faith. As life happened and her ministry evolved she felt led to become a pastor, which meant changing denominations. She and husband Mark now serve in the Methodist Conference. Dowell has earned her Master’s of Divinity and will be ordained after serving as a pastor two years. “Women can hold any position in the Methodist church, so that fits us well and has been a great experience for me since I have always served right beside my husband.” The Dowells have always felt that everyone should be welcome in church and have stayed involved in the inner city wherever they were called to serve.

By Bill Dockery Bishops, church members, city officials and history buffs gathered last Tuesday on an East Knoxville hillside to unveil a marker locating the site of the first African-American church in Knoxville. Warner Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was built in 1845 on a site now at 1021 Fuller St. in East Knoxville near McConnell Street. It was the location of the first school for African-Americans in East Knoxville and was reportedly a stopover on the Underground Railroad that helped blacks flee slavery before the Civil War. The church, now known as Greater Warner Tabernacle AME Zion Church, is in Burlington on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Dan Brown, Knoxville’s first black mayor, who now

serves on City Council, welcomed the audience to the ceremonies. Brown was a part of the group that first proposed the monument in 2007, and he expressed gratitude that the Tennessee Historical Commission had authorized the placement of the marker. The Tennessee Civil War Heritage Partnership Project gave an early grant to the group for a project titled “Building Knoxville Anew: AfricanAmerican Churches and Reconstruction Legacies.” The site is slated to become part of a larger project known as the Freedom Garden, which will link the Beck Cultural Exchange Center and Haley Heritage Square to the Warner site. The Beck Center is working with area black churches, the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum and the East Tennessee Historical Society, as well as vari-

First African-American Church On this site stood Warner Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the first African-American church in Knoxville, Tenn., and the site of the first school for African-Americans in East Knoxville. Founded in 1845, it was reported to be a stop on the Underground Railroad to freedom. The site of the church moved a number of times. In 1987 the congregation moved to a church building at 3800 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. ous departments at the University of Tennessee. Habitat for Humanity, which had purchased the property, deeded it and an adjacent lot to the AME Zion denomination. Darryl Starnes Sr., presiding bishop of the AME Zion’s Tennessee Conference, reminded the crowd that the denomination has been known as the Freedom Church because black abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth were members. Mayor Madeline Rogero

praised the role of churches as anchors of freedom and justice in the history of the United States. “My own folks came to Florida in the 1770s as indentured servants,” Rogero said. John Butler, presiding elder of the AME Zion’s Knoxville District, called the gathering to order. Other speakers included Renee Kesler, minister and head of the Beck Center, legislators Joe Armstrong and Becky Duncan Massey, and associate AME Zion bishop Michael Frencher.

There is a generation of us who think of this song every year when the “third of June” rolls around. A ballad is a narrative composition in verse; in other words, a simple song that tells a story. “Ode to Billie Joe” is provocative because of what it didn’t tell. One thing it didn’t tell was the name of the narrator! Even so, those of us who were listening to the radio in those days are pretty sure we know what the narrator of the ballad and Billie Joe MacAllister were throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge. It is the nature of ballads to tell only snatches of stories. A ballad is not, after all, a novel. There are fragments given – pieces of information – that leave some element of mystery to provoke curiosity and give the listener license to fill in the

blanks. There are stories like that in the Bible as well: stories that leave us scanning the edges of the printed page, hoping for more details. We want more explanations, more information and more material! We should, instead, be grateful to those scribes who wrote down our sacred texts, using quills and precious ink and sheepskin to record the stories they knew and believed to be important – no, critical! – to our knowledge of God’s history and activity and purposes in our world.

Right place, right time NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Around these parts most folks who know about our Great Smoky Mountain National Park are familiar with the tremendous role the Civilian Conservation Corps played in its development. Some 4,000 young men showed up just as the Park was authorized for development. Living in 17 army-supervised camps, they built the infrastructure- roads, bridges, buildings, trails. They literally made the Park what it is today. They were in the right place at the right time, both for them, and now 80 years later, for us as we use the park in the present day. A recent April birding trip to Illinois and Kentucky caused Spouse and me to realize that the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, had a far wider impact than we had ever appreciated. It so happened that we encountered state parks in each state that had CCC written all over them; both added much to our travels. But first, a bit of history. The stock market had crashed in October 1929, and by 1933, millions were unemployed, tens of thousands of farms were foreclosed, people were starving. Our nation was in a bad way, nowhere worse than here in the Southeast. Abject poverty and hopelessness stalked the land. In April of 1933, President Roosevelt signed into being the Civilian Conservation Corps. Called a “miracle of cooperation,” it succeeded because of a remarkable degree of coordination among four different

Departments: War, Interior, Agriculture and Labor. It ultimately involved over 3 million young men, aged 18 to 25, some 500,000 serving at any one time. Those enrollees, as they were called, were organized into more than 2,500 camps of around 200 men each, spread across the country in 48 states and territories. They were supervised by army officers, and their work organized by an array of surveyors, engineers and landscape architects. The men were paid $30 a month – the “Dollar-ADay Army,” as they were called. They got $5 a month to spend, and the remaining $25 each month went directly home to their families. With the average income of a western North Carolina farm family running at $86 for a whole year, the CCC money their young man earned meant food on the table, shoes for the younger siblings, easing of the misery. Many of the enrollees learned skills such as heavy machinery, carpentry and stonemasonry, surveying and landscaping. 100,000 of them were illiterate when they signed up; they were taught to read and write. Those three million men were indeed in the right place at the right time. The purpose of our spring road trip, in addition to general enjoyment, was to see how many species of birds we could find in Illinois and Kentucky. We’ve found that the best places to start exploring a new state for birds are its state parks – they are

generally great natural areas, with woods, fields and a lake or stream, and lots of local birds. And so in southern Illinois, we came upon a place called Giant City State Park. While birding in the park, amid its woods and geological wonders, we were given a valuable tip by a friendly school bus driver, waiting with her big bus for a load of high school science kids to return from a hike. “Be sure to eat at the Lodge,” she advised. Being that it was around noon, and far from anyplace else, we took her advice and sought out the Lodge. It was a huge cavernous stately place, two stories of stone and logs, with a massive fireplace sporting an elk head full of antlers and a fullsized stuffed bison standing in the lobby. And wouldn’t you know – it was “all-theaward-winning-fried-chicken-you-can-eat-day.” With all the trimmings. Mercy. But about the Lodge – it had been built by the local CCC camp in 1935-1936. And it’s still solid, beautiful, in regular daily service. It was one of those places that you just want to stand and stare at. I purchased an excellent book at their gift shop by Ren and Helen Davis entitled “Our Mark on This Land,” a detailed history of the whole CCC program. Some facts for this column were extracted from it. Then the high point of our trip – a two-day visit to the John James Audubon State Park in Henderson, Ky. Audubon lived and worked there

for a while, less than a mile from the banks of the Ohio River. The park has woods, trails, wildflowers, and, of course, lots of birds. But the centerpiece of the park is a mansion-like building, complete with a medieval-style, three-story tower, built – you guessed it – by the CCC, finished in 1940. That really neat building is now a museum and houses the largest collection of Audubon material found anywhere. It has a diorama of Audubon in his study, working Abby Parrott, Sgt. Seth D. Smith and Ally Stormer at Bravo’s on a painting, surrounded Photo by S. Clark by all sorts of collected critters.

Eagle Award, given to a student representing the Character Counts pillars, including citizenship, respect and responsibility. Parker Merritt was awarded the Larry Graham Physical Education Award. The award was given to a student who always did their very best, not just in PE, and who possessed good character like Graham. Said teacher Susan Hibbett, “Larry Graham was often called everyone’s favorite teacher. He always showed kindness and love to the students.”

Sawyer heads to LMU Gibbs High baseball player Peyton Sawyer signed to play at Lincoln Memorial University in the fall. T h e Eagle first baseman has started for the team P. Sawyer for three years, and coach Geoff Davis calls him “one of the top hitters on the team” and knows that replacing Sawyer will be hard. “He was excellent at first base and is an

all-around great kid,” said Davis. “I’m tickled that he’s getting this opportunity.” Sawyer selected LMU because it was a good fit and close to home. While in college he plans to study kinesiology. One of the most important things Sawyer learned from the coaching staff at Gibbs was how to play the game the right way. Attending the signing were his parents, Sammy and Dawn Sawyer, brothers Taylor and Hudson and girlfriend Jenna Clark. Unable to attend the celebration was brother Logan.

McIntyre looks east for leadership By Sandra Clark This year’s administrative changes have come quicker than in previous years. (That’s assuming we won’t see a dozen more this Friday.) Allowing transferring principals a chance to say goodbye is both kind and wise. Thompson

Analysis Jim McIntyre has brought several people into Knox County Schools from the outside, putting them into positions of leadership with grand titles and good pay. But last week, this old writer detected a shift in strategy. McIntyre looked to the Carter community for two educators to lead his principals. Both are KCS veterans and both are “from around here.” Cheryl Hickman, an administrator at Carter High School since 1999, was named executive director of secondary education. In this post she will oversee all middle and high schools. Hickman joined the Knox County Schools in 1983 as an English teacher at Doyle High School after teaching for several years at Seymour High School in Sevier County. She was principal at Carter High School for 10 years before joining the central office as supervisor of secondary education. She holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education, a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and an education specialist degree in administration and supervision, all from the University of Tennessee. Julie Thompson was principal at Carter Elementary School for 10 years before joining the central office in 2012 as an elementary supervisor. She was previously announced as executive director of el-

Hickman

ementary education. She joined KCS in 1993 as a teacher at Corryton Elementary, and she continues to live in Corryton. Couple these promotions with the transfer of Clifford Davis to be chief-ofstaff, and you see a pattern. McIntyre is hoping to bring peace to the ranks by providing familiar leaders. And peace could come if he eases up on micromanaging and lets the teachers teach, the principals prince, and the supervisors super. “It appears that old-timers, what few are left, accept and generally respect Davis, Hickman and Thompson,” wrote my education consultant – the ultimate oldtimer. “Davis, in addition to being a minority, has a pretty good fan club among teachers in the Bearden and Cedar Bluff area, and not everyone at Karns hated him. (Davis had a brief stint as principal at Karns High School.) He also has lots of admirers among the old elementary folks from his days as a traveling math teacher.” We’ve seen too many solid principals move to the central office only to be caught in a vise – loyalty to their former colleagues and their own beliefs or allegiance to McIntyre’s vision of churn, test, evaluate and standardize. It’s as if weighing the hogs daily will make them fatter faster. So the torch is passed to Clifford Davis, Cheryl Hickman and Julie Thompson. They know what to do. Can they do it?

State ranks high in exports By Bonny C. Millard One out of every five jobs in Tennessee is linked to trade, ranking the state 16th in the nation, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn said. Blackburn, who represents the 7th Congressional District, spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville while she was in town visiting TVA and other locations. Blackburn is the vice chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very hefty trade economy,â&#x20AC;? she said, including the top exports of medical equipment, motor vehicle parts and automobiles. Tennessee has other important exports such as entertainment and intellectual properties through companies such as Scripps Network Interactive and Jewelry TV, both headquartered here, and agricultural products. Almost 829, 500 jobs statewide and 11.1 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GNP come from trade, she said. Blackburn addressed the Trade Promotion Authority and said the House is working to â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow trackâ&#x20AC;? trade agreements, which would require congressional ap-

proval, rather than allowing the president to authorize them in what is commonly referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast tracking.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would force the issue of trade agreements Blackburn back to Congress. â&#x20AC;Ś If something is not in the proper balance, then we have the right to say no. It does not give the president the ability to move forward unilaterally as he is approaching trade. We think this is a significant step.â&#x20AC;? Blackburn said another issue that is important for Americans is security in a broad sense, including national, economic and retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People feel like a rug has been jerked out from under them, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this since 2008. People are right to say what are we going to do about it.â&#x20AC;? One of the best ways to do this is to get national debt under control through a balanced budget amendment and zero-based budgeting, she said.

Richard Jolley. Tommie Rush. Peter Rose. These artists are widely known local luminaries in visual art and pottery, and lately they’ve been very busy gearing up for a show. But this time their work will be shown alongside that of some extraordinary young artists. Kids who’ve been apprenticing with these masters for months. It’s all part of the Community School of the Arts’ annual Side-By-Side exhibition and auction, in partnership with Bennett Galleries. CSA’s executive director, Jennifer Willard, is herself a visual artist specializing in mixed media. Every year at this time she and her staff are hanging and labeling the art and taking care of a thousand-and-one details in preparation for Friday night’s auction, which is the school’s biggest fundraiser. “We are so grateful to the visual artists in our com-

munity who have mentored CSA students and made long-term commitments to our program,” she says. “They are not only amazingly talented artists but also gifted teachers who have shown again and again that they can make a difference in the lives of their students.” This year there’s more excitement than usual. The Community School of the Arts’ Side-By-Side Visual Arts Apprentice Program has been chosen for recognition as a 2015 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Finalist by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities and its partner agencies – the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. “We reviewed 335 nominations from 50 states and the District of Columbia,” wrote the four group leaders to Willard. “Your program’s

selection as one of 50 finalists distinguishes it as one of the top arts- and humanities-based programs in the country.” A national jury is reviewing Side-By-Side’s application for one of the awards, and the result will be announced this month. “If we win, I’m going to the White House myself!” Willard declares, laughing. CSA’s Side-By-Side Visual Arts Apprentice Program is in its 16th year. Students who qualify – they must be in grades 5-12 and have a minimum of two years of classroom instruction in visual arts at the school – are paired with professional artists in their studios for a period of four to six months each year. The kids have the opportunity to witness, participate in and experience firsthand every aspect of the creative process under professional tutelage. In many cases, these pairings result in long-term working partnerships over the course of several years. Much forethought goes into these pairings. Among the considerations are: degree of difficulty of each medium; age, experience

and interests of the student; and personality, family situation, special educational and/or behavioral needs of the student. Apprenticeships culminate each year in a full-scale art exhibition, where student and professional works are displayed – yes, side by side – at Bennett Galleries and Company, 5308 Kingston Pike. On the show’s final night, the works are auctioned off and the proceeds go to benefit the school.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

‘I’m not hurting’

Lumbar surgery brings relief to anxious Etowah man Just one look at a tiny drop of blood was all it took. After that, it was lights out for Dennis Morgan of Etowah. Seeing his 4-year-old son lying on a gurney after a tonsillectomy with a blood droplet beneath his nose, the 6-foot-5 behemoth of a father fainted straight away, falling across the gurney and pinning his 5-foot-2 wife against the wall. That was more than two decades ago, but Morgan still can get woozy at the sight of blood. So when Dr. Barrett Brown, a neurosurgeon with the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, told him that his spinal stenosis had reached the point where surgery was an option, Morgan readily admits, “I was scared. Real scared.” “You hear so many war stories – bad stories – of spine surgery,” said Morgan, recalling his wife’s own bad experience and tales from friends, relatives and colleagues at the Johns Manville manufacturing plant in Etowah where he works as a machine chief. “I was trying everything in the world to avoid surgery. Now I wish I had gone to Dr. Brown earlier.” “Everything in the world” included topical ointments and creams, over-the-counter pain relievers, heating pads, ice packs, prescription muscle relaxants, chiropractic treatment, TENS unit, steroid injections and physical therapy.

Dennis and Susan Morgan of Etowah are extremely grateful for the care Dennis received at the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional. Dennis said he recommends neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Brown to anyone that asks.

“I don’t really know what I did to it,” Morgan says. “It just started hurting me and bothering me when I would get up in the morning. I couldn’t walk, and the pain went down the back of both legs. It was just a sharp pain at all times. I’ve never had pain in my life like that before. The pain was so bad I was in tears at times.” Eventually, that pain led him to a Knoxville orthopedic surgeon

who ordered an MRI and concluded that Morgan’s spinal stenosis was ripe for surgery. Morgan, however, was not. Instead, his mind ﬂashed back to his childhood when an uncle’s failed surgery left him sleeping on a plywood board. “Just watching him go through that pain was a scary thing,” Morgan said. Then, there was his wife, Susan, who had an extensive recovery period with

her surgery for a herniated disc years ago. Upon the recommendation of two friends at work, Morgan turned to Tennessee Brain & Spine at Fort Sanders Regional in Knoxville. There, Dr. Barrett Brown reviewed the MRI images and concurred with the orthopedic surgeon’s appraisal. Surgery was an option. Convinced, Morgan underwent surgery the next week at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. There, Dr. Brown made a three-inch incision into his lower back, retracted the muscle and then proceeded to remove bony overgrowth and worn facet joints and widen nerve openings from the L3-L5 spinal canal to relieve pressure on the nerves. During the surgery, two herniated discs were also discovered and removed. “His was a fairly standard case – spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication,” said Dr. Brown, noting that the greatest challenge actually comes because Morgan was such a large-framed man. “We did a two-level lumbar laminectomy on him, and I think he’s had good results from it.” Morgan attests to that. “The ﬁrst step that I took, the pain was gone out of my legs!” said Morgan. “I told my wife, ‘It’s amazing!’ The leg pain was gone and hasn’t been back since.” “When they took him in to sur-

Spinal surgery often last chance to beat pain don’t know what the other patient’s surgery or condition was,” said Dr. Brown. “You can do a technically perfect case but do it on the wrong indication and you are not going to have good results.” A key, said Dr. Brown, is correctly identifying the cause of the problem early on. Surgical treatment for spinal stenosis is considered only after nonsurgical remedies have not provided significant improvement in symptoms and when the benefits of surgery are deemed greater than the potential risks. In some cases, surgery may be an urgent matter due to the development of severe weakness or loss of bowel and bladder function. “We’ve been doing this kind of surgery for a while now, and it’s something we’re comfortable doing,” said Dr. Brown. “I think we have excellent surgical results because we’re selective.” Spinal stenosis, like that which Morgan suffered, is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows and pinches the nerves, resulting in pain and difficulty walking, as well as numbness, tingling, weakness or a heavy, tired feeling in the legs. “It’s more in the middle age to older population because generally it’s degenerative in nature,” said

Back and Leg Pain Neck and Arm Pain

Dr. Brown. “Although it does occur in younger patients occasionally, it generally comes with age and wear and tear on the body.” Because almost everyone develops some degenerative changes with age, it’s not really preventable. “Part of it is genetic – it runs in some families,” said Dr. Brown. “People who do more manual labor, more physical activity over the years, tend to be more prone just like arthritis. There’s not a medication you can take. There’s not a diet or lifestyle change that would guarantee you wouldn’t have or couldn’t develop stenosis.” Because Dennis Morgan had a traditional “open” surgery, he now has a 3-inch scar on his lower back. When possible, however, more and more patients are relying on Fort Sanders’ Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery where advances in surgery can signiﬁcantly limit the incision area, reduce blood loss and speed recovery.

NEW RELIEF Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Back pain, leg pain, neck pain, arm pain… the root of the problem is often a pinched spinal nerve. The good news is that now Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s physicians use state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques to perform spine surgery. Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgeries offer patients many advantages, including a smaller incision, less postoperative pain, faster recovery and improved outcome. Non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy and medication should always be tried ﬁrst. If those don’t help, surgery may be the best option.

Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Not every one is a candidate for minimally invasive approach to spine surgery. To learn more about minimally invasive spine surgery, please call 541-2835 or visit fsregional.com/ minimallyinvasive.

Spine surgery. Those two words once sent shivers down Dennis Morgan. Not anymore, though. Today, Morgan and his wife, Susan, say the surgery he had for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has given him his life back. “The pain had been really hard on him because he’s the type of person who is constantly doing something,” said Susan Morgan. “We do old houses – this is our fourth – everything from tearing down walls, but he got to where he couldn’t do absolutely anything. I’m glad he had it done because it’s just like a miracle for him not to hurt.” “It was such a relief to get it done,” said Dennis Morgan. “I can do what I want now. I’m still careful, but I’ve not had any pain since the surgery.” Neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Brown of the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional has heard such things before. “I see a lot of patients who say they know someone who had a bad back and had surgery or multiple surgeries and they have a bad taste in their mouth about spine surgery although they

gery, he could hardly lay on the gurney,” recalled Susan Morgan. “But when they got him up that afternoon, he looked at me with this look of total surprise on his face, and he said, ‘I don’t hurt! I’m not hurting!’ ” After two nights in the hospital, Morgan was discharged. Initially, he used a walker but quickly graduated to a hiking stick and, later, a cane. Within a week, he was walking without any assistance. After a month doing nothing but walking, he underwent physical therapy and is now back to doing whatever he wants. “It’s a daunting thing to think about surgery on the spine,” said Susan Morgan. “But I think we did the right thing by going to Fort Sanders Regional.” “I KNOW we did,” added Dennis Morgan, who said this was his first time as a patient at Fort Sanders Regional. “The nurses were as good as they could be. Even the food was good. The place was easy to find, the girls in his office are really helpful filling out all the medical paperwork that I have to do, and Dr. Brown is a super nice, down-to-earth guy. He takes time to talk to you and answer your questions. As far as recommending the doctor and the hospital, I’ve recommended him to three people already. I even got some of his business cards and put them on the bulletin board at work just in case.”
