Students lobby for Ag Ed program

By Betty Bean School board members, administrators and even Superintendent James McIntyre came down off the dais after last Wednesday’s board meeting to tell North Knox Vocational Center students James Dunn and Ryan Cox that they had done a good job of explaining why the school system was wrong to close down Mike Blankenship’s 25-year, award-winning agricultural education program, which serves students from Halls and Gibbs High Schools.

Cox said their attempts at consolation were too little, too late.

“They told us that we did well and that our speeches were good, but honestly, that doesn’t mean anything to me,” said Halls High School senior Cox, who was also active in the Future Farmers of America program, which has been left in limbo with Blankenship’s forced departure. “I got the impression that they heard what we were saying and felt kind of sorry, but they felt, ‘There’s nothing I can do about it.’ Individually, I think they all want to help us, but together they all felt that it was too far gone. The decision has been made, and it will stand.”

Cox said McIntyre told the FFA students and their families that it was Halls High School principal Mark Duff’s decision to eliminate

agricultural education as part of a budget-trimming measure.

Dunn, a senior at Gibbs High School and president of the FFA, recited a partial list of the honors the club won this past year under Blankenship’s guidance.

“We will no longer be able to compete in career development events,” he said. “We as a class and a chapter are very disappointed. This closure will take away many opportunities.”

What Dunn didn’t say that night is that one of the lost opportunities could be his chance to go to college.

“I was hoping to try to get a scholarship through the FFA, and maybe try to get my American FFA degree, the highest degree in the FFA you can attain. I’ve got my state degree, but if the FFA doesn’t exist anymore, it doesn’t matter.

There cannot be an FFA if there’s no ag class,” he told the ShopperNews later.

Blankenship won the 2013 Tennessee Association FFA VIP Award and was selected as the Halls Business and Professional Association’s Man of the Year in 2011 for his community activities, which include playing a lead role in creating an outdoor classroom and arboretum and developing a greenhouse that enabled his students to conduct plant sales that drew hundreds of regular customers.

He has taught in Knox County Schools for 37 years, and began his career at Doyle High School in 1978. His students and FFA members have won a long list of awards over the years. His classes in Greenhouse Management, Floral Design, Interior and Exterior Landscape Design, Forestry, Introduction to Horticulture Science and Horticulture Technology have been discontinued, and although he has been interviewed for a new position, he has no guarantee that he will have a job this fall.

Rosenbaum takes new role with Goodwill

By Jennifer Holder More than a century ago Methodist minister Edgar J. Helms founded Goodwill as a method to help the destitute people of Boston find work to support their families. He is famous for saying, “Do something!” Goodwill Industries-Knoxville Inc.’s president and CEO Dr. Robert G. Rosenbaum has certainly lived up to Helms’s directive and today marks a seminal transition on this, his 65th birthday.

Today (June 11) Dr. Rosenbaum will retire from Goodwill Industries-Knoxville to become president of the newly formed Goodwill Foundation of Knoxville Inc., a turning point in a career that has lasted 40 years – a span almost unheard of in modernday Goodwill history.

His impact on the East Tennessee-based Goodwill has been immense.

Prior to Rosenbaum assuming leadership, a decline in Goodwill program management had led to a near bankruptcy of the nonprofit. The board of directors named a young Rosenbaum, who had joined Goodwill Industries-Knoxville as the director of rehabilitation, the interim executive director. By September 1975, the interim was dropped from his title, and he was ap-

pointed executive director.

Inheriting debts in excess of $50,000 and an annual budget around $100,000, Rosenbaum took on the challenge to rebuild the organization, and in 1977, Goodwill became a member agency of the United Way of Greater Knoxville – a huge financial and public positioning boost for the fledgling organization.

Under Rosenbaum’s leadership, by 1978 the debt was almost retired and program credibility had been strengthened. Remarkably, the rehabilitation programs had been designed, implemented and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for the maximum three-year period in 1977.

The 1980s were a time of further expansion. In 1984, Goodwill purchased 5508 Kingston Pike (adjacent to Naples Restaurant) with very advantageous financing from the Small Business Administration. In 1987, Goodwill opened its first rehabilitation satellite in Sevierville, soon followed by offices in Oak Ridge (1988), Morristown (1989), and LaFollette (1994).

In 2007, following an offer to purchase the old Goodwill Industries-Knoxville location at 5508 Kingston Pike, which the organization

Goodwill's CNA graduates are placed at numerous local hospitals and other health care facilities. had outgrown, the organization moved to 5307 Kingston Pike. Originally constructed in 1991, the 38,800-squarefoot, one-level building included 183 parking spaces, three loading docks and 3.27 acres for future expansion. It is Goodwill’s current headquarters location.

In March 2013, Goodwill opened its 28th retail store and additional vocational training and contract space in a 43,000-square-foot facility in northwest Knoxville, doubling its capacity to employ participants in the Industrial Services Division who develop valuable skills in all areas of process-

ing, quality control, packaging and shipping while also earning a training wage.

“Goodwill IndustriesKnoxville, under Dr. Rosenbaum’s leadership, has maintained the highest standards and, in 2013, received its 13th consecutive threeyear accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, a tremendous feat,” said board chair Johnny Hibbett.

“The board is unanimous in its appreciation for all that Dr. Rosenbaum has done for Goodwill and its ability to impact thousands of lives each year.”

The transformation of Goodwill Industries locally under Rosenbaum’s leadership has been stunning, from

being a program that once served fewer than 75 individuals annually from one location to being an organization that offers comprehensive services and programs at 33 locations, served 5,203 individuals in 2013 alone, carries a staff of more than 450 dedicated employees, operates with an annual budget of more than $16 million, and facilitates service delivery throughout a 15-county area.

Not surprisingly, over the years Goodwill IndustriesKnoxville Inc. has earned and been presented with many local, state and national awards, including city of Knoxville Employer of the Year, Tennessee Small Employer of the Year, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Commemoration Commission of Greater Knoxville’s Industry Award, and Employer of the Year award from the Tennessee Committee for Employment of People with Disabilities.

“I am delighted and honored to continue to serve Goodwill in my new role,” said Rosenbaum. “Our new foundation will become our fundraising arm and will allow Goodwill Industries to continue to provide vocational services and employment opportunities for people with barriers to employment – in turn allowing those individuals to be as self-sufficient as possible while achieving the satisfaction that comes from independence,” said Rosenbaum.

Students lobby diagnosed with a brain tumor, and his condition remains precarious. News of Blankenship’s termination was slow to break but has sent shockwaves through the Halls and Gibbs communities and will leave Knox County with only one agricultural-education program (at South-Doyle).

One of those most shocked is Tommy Spencer, owner of Senior Home Assistance of Tennessee.

Spencer was one of Blankenship’s ornamental-horticulture students at Doyle in 1978, and he says he learned fundamental business skills in that class.

He is dissatisfied with the explanations he has heard for Blankenship’s dismissal.

“They’re putting it off on the principal, and we’re getting a lot of blame game going on,” he said. “Meanwhile, they have done away with a program that teaches you about real, true business. That program taught

From page A-1 me more about business than I learned about anywhere else, even through college. It teaches you profit margin, supply and demand – that’s real-world stuff I use every day.

“Not to mention that Mike’s just one of the greatest teachers around, as far as putting his kids first. He’d spend his own money to help kids go on trips, making sure they didn’t go without. He’s one of the finest teachers anywhere. If they can’t keep it at Halls, implement it somewhere else. It’s too valuable to lose.”

Cox said he and the other FFA members appreciated the support they got from those who attended the school board meeting.

“We knew we have done all we could do,” he said. “A lady behind us said all you got to do is pray, and I hope that will change something, but I feel confident that they (the KCS administration) are stuck with their decision.”

Honoring Uncle Sam

The Halls Senior Center held a flag-retirement ceremony and paid tribute to a friend and patriot, the late Sam Hardman.

Hardman was remembered for his work with the Halls Food Pantry, and many brought canned goods in his memory to help stock the pantry shelves. Several spoke words of Hardman and his work with HonorAir Knoxville, a program that helped many WWII and Korean War veterans travel to Washington to see the memorials erected in their honor.

Mike Brown described Hardman as someone who “makes a difference in your life” and said that Hardman “hit the ground running.” Another person called Hardman a “force of nature” as well as “kind and caring.”

government Let candidates respond and engage It is less than 60 days to the Aug. 7 statewide general election for judges. You can vote for retention or replacement of three state Supreme Court justices (Cornelia Clark, Sharon Lee and Gary Wade, all Democrats) as well as numerous appellate judges.

Victor Ashe

Republican Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey has openly and strongly argued for a replacement vote in part to secure that a Republican be chosen as state Attorney General.

Tennessee is the only state to require its Supreme Court to elect the Attorney General every eight years. All other states have either a direct popular election or gubernatorial appointment.

Ramsey has been criticized for seeking the replacement of these judges on the grounds it politicizes the court and undermines judicial independence. Others have argued the current retention-replacement system is not a real election in contrast to two or more candidates opposing each other.

However, this system has been ruled valid by the special state Supreme Court.

Since it is held to be the equivalent of an election, then robust public debate on a variety of issues is fair and the justices ought to be able to respond and engage.

Of the three justices running, Wade has the most political experience, having also served 10 years as mayor of Sevierville. He is waging an active campaign to make sure he is retained.

Wade is very astute and is popular among many East Tennessee Republicans such as Rep. Jimmy Duncan and former Rep. Bill Jenkins.

Gov. Haslam has declined to take sides but has voiced a personal like for the incumbents. His father attended a reception for Wade.

Setting aside the merits of Ramsey’s views, he certainly has the right to advocate change for whatever reason he puts forth. Likewise, he opens himself up to vigorous rebuttals. It is up to the voters to determine the merit of his arguments.

Ramsey has placed a spotlight on contests that are normally under the political radar. That has made many uncomfortable.

Penny White is the only justice to be denied a term.

She is now a professor at UT College of Law. As long as the state constitution mandates that the court must pick the state AG, it will place justices seeking another term in the crossfire on this issue. It cannot be avoided. Those who dislike this situation should work to change the constitution to remove the court from choosing the AG. That requires a constitutional amendment, which the voters must approve.

This writer has long believed the selection should be direct popular election just as local DAs are elected.

I sponsored legislation to achieve that from 1968 to 1984, but it did not pass. If that is not politically feasible, the governor should appoint them subject to legislative confirmation for a four-year term. But the court should not be in the business of choosing the state AG. The AG is a policymaking position and plays an important role in state government. The voters deserve a place in choosing the AG. No woman, African-American or Republican has ever been the AG under the present system, and there are qualified persons in all categories.

If any justice is replaced in August, then Gov. Haslam will choose the new justice.

■ Eddie Smith, Republican candidate for state representative, opposed by Jason Emert in the August GOP primary, has picked up important support from state Rep. Bill Dunn, chair of the House Calendar Committee, who served on Smith’s host committee for a fundraiser June 3.

Also on the host committee were Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones, GOP County Commission nominee Ed Brantley (who is unopposed in the August election), County Commissioner R. Larry Smith and former County Commissioner, city school board member and City Council member Ivan Harmon.

The winner of the SmithEmert contest will face Democratic incumbent state Rep. Gloria Johnson, seeking her second term in November. It will be an uphill battle to overtake Johnson, but the state GOP will make a strong effort to unseat her. She has Team Rogero on her side.

■ Knoxville lost a wonderful leader with the passing of Dr. Robert Harvey on May 27. He was a champion of Knoxville College and was always there to assist in its most troubled days. He gave back to the community on a consistent basis.

Legislators force budget-busting charter schools

On a night when the school board was confronted with the real-life pain of budget cuts, it nevertheless approved Emerald Youth Academy’s charter school application by a 7-1 vote (board member Gloria Deathridge was absent), a move that will drain Knox County Schools’ coffers of nearly $5 million a year once the school is fully operational.

Betty Bean Several board members made it clear that they were doing it only because state law is forcing them to. Even Karen Carson, the sole no vote, deplored the legislature’s interference.

Everyone was careful to pay homage to the work Emerald Youth Foundation and its executive director, Steve Diggs, have done with the city’s children over the past two-plus decades, but the bottom line was this vote would have been dif-

ferent if state legislators had not made it almost impossible for local governments to turn down applications from privately operated, publicly funded nonprofit charter schools.

Several summoned the specter of what happened to Metro Nashville Public Schools when its board voted not to approve a proposal for a charter school in West Nashville last year – state education commissioner Kevin Huffman withheld $3.4 million as punishment.

The school, Great Hearts Academy, was a pet project of House Speaker Beth Harwell and Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and was nixed by the Nashville school board because of questions about diversity and access for all students.

Its demise stiffened the resolve of pro-charter school forces to use their growing clout on the state level to send a message down to local school districts.

Fear the budget ax: message received in Knox County, one of five counties included in the bill (along with

Davidson, Shelby, Hamilton and Hardeman).

The Senate passed the charter school authorizer by just three votes. Knox County’s senators split, with Stacey Campfield voting yes and Becky Massey voting no.

The House vote was more lopsided, and purely partisan, 61-28. Knox County’s Republicans (all alleged opponents of imposing unfunded mandates on local governments) – Harry Brooks, Ryan Haynes, Bill Dunn and Roger Kane voted yes. Democrats Gloria Johnson and Joe Armstrong voted no.

The bill gives charter schools whose applications are rejected by the local educational authority (LEA), the right to appeal to the state school board, which will then approve or deny. The well-founded presumption is that approval will be almost automatic for most proposals, and power to oversee these charter schools would then be transferred to the state.

The bill, which became

Public Chapter 850, says, in part, “Funding for charter schools authorized by the state board will be in accordance with present law, except that the LEA in which the charter school operates will pay to the department 100 percent of the per student share of local funding and 100 percent of any federal funding in the custody of the LEA that is due to the charter school.”

This law will inevitably lead to a flood of budgetbusting charter-school applications that local governments will be powerless to deny.

One administrator said that money for the Emerald school will be taken directly from the school where Emerald’s students were zoned.

“The money follows the children.”

Our legislative delegation can’t jigger the BEP formula to get Knox County its fair share, but they’re leading the charge for public-funded private schools. We must hold them accountable for the schools and kids who are left behind.

Fee office oversight is overdue “I like to pay taxes,” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said. “With them I buy civilization.”

If Holmes were alive and residing in Knox County, his taxes could also buy arrogance and ineptitude.

Peering myopically past a mountain of evidence that gross incompetence plagues her office, Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey recently granted across-theboard staff raises as high as 16 percent.

Her “hard-working” employees deserved “a lot more than they got,” McCroskey said.

We’re relieved they didn’t work harder; half the county might be wrongfully jailed had they put their noses to the grindstone.

Mike Hammond, who will replace McCroskey this fall, says he will rescind the raises, so McCroskey’s in-your-face gesture only served to train the spotlight more intensely on the fee offices and the outdated salary suit system under which they operate. It also resurrected the larger question of overall accountability in those offices.

If some view Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s decision to hold the line on pay for general government workers as miserly, McCroskey’s action reminds us of all that can go wrong when officeholders are responsible to no one but themselves.

It’s worth considering that McCroskey might have become unhinged on the matter of pay raises three years ago without a replacement waiting in the wings to quash the insanity. Her only impediments were public opinion and the amount of fees collected by the office.

The electorate may not be ready for mayoral appointments to the fee offices, but some executive oversight and control of their budgets is overdue.

Patience, please. John Bruhin is facing a long walk, and it may take an extra minute. He is on his way back into the spotlight for one big night this summer. On July 24, he will be inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.

Bruhin, 49, has been “training” for a while. He is 70 pounds down from 420 and trying to get closer to playing weight. He has one new knee and needs another but can get along with a trusty cane.

John played football at Powell High, Tennessee and Tampa Bay. The adventure came with a price. There are scars. He struggles to get up from a chair.

So, tell us, John Bruhin, if you could go back to the

Marvin West

beginning …

“I’d do it all over again.”

Going back would mean downtown Powell, barefoot walks down the hill to Groner’s Store, being poor without really realizing it.

“Ray McCloud, a neighbor and friend, was my first source of football information. We’d talk about Tennessee. He had known General Neyland and a lot of other famous names. He knew about tradition. He gave me tickets a few times

when he didn’t want to go to games.

“That’s how I got to see Ernie and Bernie (Grunfeld and King) in basketball.”

Other friends were vital.

“Fred Sisk had been to a baseball academy. He knew a lot. He taught me how to lift weights and properly stretch. He also taught me how to write papers for school.”

Fred’s dad, Governor Sisk, owned a gas station on Clinton Highway. He saw potential in young Bruhin.

“When I’d be below zero, he would give me an occasional $20. He may have never known how much that meant.”

Some said playing at Tennessee was an impossible dream but John thought maybe, perhaps, possibly he

could make it. He tried to make a deal with his dad.

“My father had a drinking problem. I asked if he’d stop drinking if I made the team.”

Half happened. John earned a scholarship. He made the starting lineup in 1985 as a sophomore guard.

“That is my best memory of football, my first significant playing time. The team was really a team.

We had Tony (Robinson), but we didn’t have a lot of superstars. We didn’t have a lot of anything except heart.

“Eight of us used the same sports coat to have our pictures taken for the brochure. Seven of us didn’t have one.”

Phillip Fulmer was Ten-

nessee’s line coach. He vividly remembers three seasons with Bruhin.

“He was such an outstanding talent. He was really a great player, unusually athletic and fast for his size. He may have had the most talent of anyone I had coached up to that time.

“John needed guidance.

There were days when it was a hug and a kick on the rear.

I had to be tough at times.

He almost quit. I remember him going to Georgia to check on some hunting dogs. We had to go get him.

“There probably were days when he didn’t like me, but I didn’t burn the bridge. I think we are best friends.”

It was Fulmer who first said John had NFL potential. Bruhin didn’t believe it.

But, the Bucs drafted him in the fourth round. He won a starting job. He made some money. If the knees had lasted longer …

The years since have not been the proverbial rose garden. John has had ups and downs, health problems, even heartbreak.

He has decided God must have a plan, maybe that he should offer to others lessons learned, wisdom gained.

The hall of fame induction is a big deal. It figures to be a booster shot for several of us. Fulmer rearranged a speaking engagement in Denver to be here.

“I wouldn’t miss it,” he said.

Me neither.

Baptist Convention, trustee of CarsonNewman College, trustee of East Tennessee Baptist Hospital and member of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was awarded his honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree by Carson-Newman College in 1953.

Charles S. Bond and Mary Briggs Lambert, also a Carson-Newman graduate, were married in her hometown of Lewisburg (Marshall County), Tenn. on Dec. 29, 1942. They would become the parents of four children: Charles Stephen Jr., Mary Rachel Conniff, Miriam A. Tate and Joseph Lambert.

Having experienced congestive heart problems for several years, Dr. Bond passed away on March 31, 1982. After services at Central Baptist, conducted by Dr. Calvin S. Metcalf, Dr. Bond was interred in the Lone Oak Cemetery in Lewisburg.

Originally organized as the Bright Hope Baptist Church on Oct. 28, 1914, when 33

charter members met at the Bright Hope Masonic Hall, the name was changed to Central Baptist Church of Fountain City in July 1915. In that same month the church purchased property on North Broadway, soon began construction and occupied its new building on Oct. 3, 1915.

The second building program resulted in the dedication of a larger sanctuary on Aug. 13, 1924. The large educational annex was added in 1940. While the first two buildings had faced Broadway, ground was broken for a much larger sanctuary facing Lynnwood in March 1949 and the dedication held on June 11, 1950. The Family Life Center was added in 1984, and the present sanctuary was refurbished in 1997-98.

Central Baptist Church of Fountain City will be celebrating its 100th anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 26, and will be looking forward to another century of service to the community.

Sheriff’s Office to offer VIN etching For the past 20 years, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters to provide a free program to help prevent thieves from stealing your car.

Operation Vehicle I.D. will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, June 28, in the lot in front of Toyota of Knoxville on Parkside Drive.

It works like this: your vehicle identification number (VIN) is permanently and discreetly etched into your vehicle’s windshield and windows. The process takes less than 10 minutes.

Thieves will often bypass a car that has been marked this way because it can be traced quickly.

Vehicle theft for Knox County was on the rise but took a dip in 2013.

Here are the stats: 2013 – 320 vehicles stolen; 2012 – 445 vehicles stolen; 2011 – 391 vehicles stolen; 2010 – 387 vehicles stolen.

Becky k Brody d Ch Chaffee ff received civil engineering degrees from UC Berkley and Cornell University, but her passion is music.

She moved to Knoxville and reared her two kids here. They “were clearly very bright and needed something to supplement their education,” Chaffee says. So she enrolled them both in Suzuki music lessons – her daughter on violin and her son on piano.

Chaffee herself is a flutist, but as her kids progressed in their lessons, she found herself falling more and more in love with the violin.

The active mom put in many hours doing volunteer work in the school system, and as both of her children grew older and started driving, she found that she had time to sew. “I am quite the gift-giver,” she says, “and I sewed eight purses as gifts within two years.”

Meanwhile, her fascination with the violin grew.

She wanted to learn to play the instrument and for a time studied it alongside her daughter. Carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists put an end to that.

But the talented crafter wasn’t done with the fiddle yet.

Carol’s Corner like a chin rest (for a violin), and, crazy as I am, I thought ‘I have to make a violin purse.’ ” She did. And she “became obsessed with improving them. And people started asking me to sew other instruments.”

Eventually she set up a website to sell her wares and christened the business “Violettes by Becky.” And she found herself trying to do even more for the young musical community.

In the spring of this year, she spearheaded the first annual Music Composition Competition for Youth, with a challenge to school-age kids to write a song, with or without words, titled “Being Me Now.” Entries came from all over the United States and Canada. A panel of distinguished judges declared winners from California, Illinois, New York and Maryland, with a cash prize for the first-place winner,

One of those judges was the conductor of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Lucas Richman, who will serve his final year with the KSO during the 2014-2015 season.

“I am always interested in doing whatever I can to help foster and guide creativity from our younger generations,” says Richman. “The mentorship that I received in my own formative years has always stayed with me and, if the competition entries were any indication of the talent being mentored today around the country, I would say that we will have some very bright spots arising on the musical horizon!”

Next year, Chaffee plans to pair mentors with students through Skype, the audiovisual Internet communication service. She’s tireless in her advocacy for young musicians. And she’s got a very big event planned soon.

On Saturday, June 21, Violettes by Becky, in partnership with Target Golf Driving Range in Powell, will host a “Swing for Joy” fundraiser for the Joy of Music School. The widely known Knoxville nonprofit provides music lessons and instruments for children who can’t afford them.

Target Golf will donate proceeds from each purchase of a bucket of balls to the school. Prizes to be drawn every hour include greens passes to several golf courses, a Smoky Mountain rafting trip, Brixx Woodfired Grill and Brazeiros Brazilian Steakhouse gift certificates and much more.

In addition, from Friday through Sunday, June 2022, visit Brixx Woodfired Grill and mention that you are there for “Joy,” and the restaurant will donate money to the school from each pizza ordered.

You can sign up for events and view details on Facebook. In particular, Chaffee is looking for $500 sponsorships for talented young musicians.

“It’s exciting to me to think that I have encouraged even one child with creativity,” says Chaffee.

Please consider helping her in her generous efforts.

“Swing for Joy,” a fundraiser for the Joy of Music School, takes place beginning at 9 a.m.

VBS teaches Biblical principles

By Ruth White Beaver Dam Baptist Church kicked off summer with the first of many Vacation Bible Schools to be hosted across Knox County in the next couple of months.

This year Lifeway produced “Agency D3” for Bible school, and participants learn to discover, defend and decide their beliefs through music, games, art activities and more.

The program is based on 1 Peter 3:15: “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”

Vacation Bible School is a great time for children to turn off the television and get out and moving while Caroline Beeler and Juanita Mullins lead songs to kick off VBS at meeting new friends.

There was no traditional bakery cake at the reception to honor Jerry and Shirley Vittatoe last weekend. Instead, the dessert tables were overflowing with homemade cobbler and pies of every variety.

When the Vittatoes arrived at Clear Springs Baptist Church in May 1989, the congregation had an average attendance of 225.

To date, the church has grown to 415 and has broken ground on a new church location in Gibbs.

Charlotte and Jim King have been members of the church for 40 years. Charlotte called Vittatoe “an amazing pastor and cherished friend.”

The Vittatoes have been married 47 years. They have two daughters, Amy and Julie, and two grandchildren.

Some theorize that event threw enough dust and debris into the atmosphere to cause a long “nuclear” winter that killed the dinosaurs.

So it is true that the sky is falling. It is also true that there is not one thing we can do about it. Carrying an umbrella might make you feel better about the situation, but I can’t say that it will help much.

Therefore, then, what to do? Worry? Stay home? Hide in a cave? (Then, of course, you have bat problems!)

I remember one night when I was about 7, when a gathering storm was becoming truly scary. Mother insisted we go to the basement for safety.

Daddy was reluctant but finally agreed (mostly to satisfy Mother, I am convinced). The next time a storm came up at night, Daddy refused to move from his bed.

“If it is my time, it is my time,” he said, philosophically.

Not a bad way to live your life, especially when it is raining rocks.

Well, it turns out Chicken Little was right: The sky is falling. Little by little, one piece at a time.

I recently stood on a viewer’s platform overlooking the great Meteor Crater 40 miles east of Flagstaff, Ariz. The hole at my feet was, well, as the kids so blithely say about many things, awesome.

With the force of a multimegaton bomb, a speeding (estimated speed: 26,000 mph) nickel-iron meteorite crashed to Earth nearly 50,000 years ago. Splashing more than 175 million tons of rock outward, the resulting crater is 4,150 feet in diameter, 550 feet deep and 2.4 miles in circumference.

This hole was there for 40,000 years before any human saw it, and then it would have been the Anasazi (“the old ones”) who found it. They could not possibly have imagined what caused that hole in the Earth.

In fact, it was only in 1903 that a man looked at the crater and realized what it was.

Daniel Barringer searched for years for a large meteorite to explain the existing crater, but impact physics was not well understood at the time, so he did not realize that most of the matter would have vaporized on impact.

Scientists today are also pretty well convinced that a meteor of significant proportions struck the Earth hollowing out a crater that

Triathlon for kids

By Sara Barrett For adventurous kids looking for a summer challenge, the Kids Triple Crown Challenge might be a perfect fit.

The new triathlon series will consist of the Salamander Splash and Dash Saturday, June 21, at the West Side YMCA; the Sharks and Seals Kids Tri Saturday, July 19, at Springbrook Pool in Alcoa; and the Dragonfly Kids Tri Saturday, Aug. 16, at Knoxville Racquet Club.

Events are for kids ages 7-15 of all ability levels.

According to Crown Cleaners owner and event sponsor Dan Holecek, participants don’t have to be good at all three compo-

nents of the triathlon – which include swimming, biking and running – to succeed since each one is only a portion of the event.

Groups can also register as relay teams so participants can compete in the sport in which they are best.

The schedule is the same for all three dates. Registration is $70, and checkin will begin at 7 a.m. Kids ages 7-10 will start at 8:30 a.m., and kids 11-15 will start at 9 a.m. Awards will be given at 10 a.m.

Participants will receive a water bottle and T-shirt, and racers also will receive a medal upon finishing.

A third-row seat to history It’s a big deal for East Tennessee each year when the Ella Baker Child Policy Training Institute brings a couple thousand of American’s brightest and most idealistic young people for a weeklong training session before they go out to manage Freedom Schools across the country.

Called servant-leaders, the college students are interns of the Children’s Defense Fund who will be teaching impoverished kids later this summer. They live for a week in a dorm at UT, with their main activities at the Alex Haley Farm in Norris. Full group assemblies are held at the Knoxville Convention Center, which is where I went on Sunday, grabbing a seat on the third row.

Folks my age relived history when the legendary Freedom Singers performed, followed by speakers Marian Wright Edelman, Andrew Young Jr. and U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

But the evening was about the young people there from 29 states. One called the

speakers “our elders.” Ouch!

We hold images of John Lewis at age 23 leading the March on Washington, Andy Young at the UN for Jimmy Carter and as Atlanta’s mayor in the 1980s, Marian Wright advocating for kids and civil rights way before she married lawyer and Bobby Kennedy aide Peter Edelman.

College students of the 1960s believed we would change the world. And now we hope the kids in their 20s can. Being on the third row, I had a chance to meet the speakers afterward. But I bypassed the stars to approach the young woman who had so competently presided over the introduction of 50-plus Ella Baker Trainers.

“We want young people to see college, not jail, in their future. And it’s very hard to be what you can’t see.”

Run, hide but don’t panic

By Cindy Taylor

“We’ve got people down everywhere,” Tennova North employee Janine Mingie warned a physician who entered the building.

“Don’t panic. It’s only a drill.”

When the first gunshot echoed through the atrium at Tennova North on a recent Friday, employees and visitors had been warned that the active shooter drill was simulated. That didn’t make it any less terrifying.

During the drill a disgruntled employee was terminated, left the premises and returned with a loaded gun, blanks only in this scenario. He shot everyone he encountered in reception, HR, administration and medical records before taking a hostage. In

case anyone is wondering, blanks are just as loud as the real thing.

Knox County deputies responded first, followed by a SWAT team. Emergency personnel set up a Mobile Command Unit onsite to triage the wounded survivors and negotiate with the shooter. According to SWAT team commander Clyde Cowan, typical response time for emergency personnel during a situation of this type is 30 minutes.

“During an event, responders are in contact with hospital administration to access a floor plan and develop a strategy,” said Cowan. “Sometimes resolving actual situations can take days.”

Those who were shot were given sealed envelopes

and told to open them afterward to see if they survived the shooting. Survivors were triaged at the Mobile Command Unit rather than inside the facility.

“We tell our employees to run, fight or hide in this type of situation,” said John Ewart, executive director of facilities. “Normally an active shooter will have control until the police arrive.

Our primary goal is to protect our staff and visitors.”

Finally the shooter surrendered, and no one else was harmed. The drill lasted almost two hours and played out as a real-life situation.

Tennova facilities hold at least two disaster drills each year to help employees prepare should an actual event occur.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Fort Sanders Regional honors clinical staff for excellence Fort Sanders Regional recently announced the 2014 winners of the hospital’s annual Clinical Excellence in Nursing Awards. Seventeen staff members throughout the facility were recognized during a special National Nurses Week ceremony.

The awards signify the exceptional care and compassion each honored individual regularly gives to his or her patients. The Fort Sanders Nursing Excellence Awards are especially meaningful because the employees are nominated by those who provide care beside them, their nursing co-workers. The final winners are then selected by a panel of hospital leaders that includes past honorees.

This year’s winners are: Shawn Campbell, RN, CVICU; Kelly Danielson, RN, GI-Endoscopy; Denise Gregg, CAN, 9 North; Sherry Hackworth, RN, 5 West; Katie Haun, RN, 7 North; Michelle Jones, Department Assistant, Surgery; Alison Lavin, RN, 4 West; Jennifer McGregor, RN, Women’s Services; Dina Miller, RN, Float Pool; Maleia O’Neal, Tech, Women’s Services; Amanda Roark, RN, 8 North; Valencia Talley, RN, 7 North; Sandra Thorn, HUC, Women’s Services; Angela Turner, RN, ICU; Jeannine Varga, RN, Emergency Department.

In addition to the Clinical Excellence Awards, the Fort Sanders nursing staff selected Cardiovascular Intensive Care (CVICU) nurse Michael Chesser as the recipient of the 2014 Peggy Mayer Gilbertson Outstanding Nurse of the Year Award. The hospital’s physicians honored Emergency Department nurse Michael Shelton with the 2014 Elizabeth Killeffer Award.

The Peggy Mayer Gilbertson award provides funds for continuing education and has been given since 1989 in memory of the wife of Dr. Bob Gilbertson, a former chief of staff at the hospital. Candidates for the GilMichael Chesser, RN, CVICU Peggy Mayer Gilbertson Award Winner

bertson Fellowship are nominated by their fellow nursing peers, and the recipient is chosen by the hospital’s nursing leadership staff. This year, Cardiovascular Intensive Care (CVICU) nurse Michael Chesser was elected as the recipient.

REAL ESTATE WITH

REAL EXPERIENCE Who are Dewayne and Chris Whitt?

This is who we are! If you want to know more, please don’t hesitate to call us. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.

We appreciate your business and we look forward to helping you and your families in ALL of your Real Estate endeavors.

We have both been in Real Estate for almost 21 years. We grew up in the Halls community. We work side-by-side, we have two children, one 15, one 23, and a cousin who is 24, living with us while he is growing his knowledge and preparing for his future. We have helped raise many other children who needed a home, guidance, support and direction. We are members of Texas Valley Baptist Church. Dewayne is the assistant Choir director and on the cemetery committee. That is us personally. Professionally, Dewayne is the Principal Broker here at Keller Williams Realty Emory Partners, LLC (Each Keller Wlliams Office is independently owned and operated). We came to Keller Williams Realty in May of last year when we were asked to join. We are very impressed by the education and overall culture of our company. Since moving, our business has doubled and we have hired two Assistants and two Buyer Agents fulltime. We currently own 19 rental properties and once had 23 at one time. At one point we owned a 20 unit apartment building, we are knowledgeable in investment rental properties. Dewayne was a Builder prior to becoming a Broker/Realtor, and I myself was an office manager at a Real Estate company, fulltime assistant, before becoming a Realtor. I attended Knoxville Business College (now known as South College) as an accountant major with a minor study in computer science. I also am a graduate of Trees Real Estate Course and Bold Tech. Dewayne graduated from Halls High in 1977 and is also a graduate of Trees Broker course, Trecs Real Estate Course, and has these Real Estate designations: ABR, CRS, CRB, GRI, E-pro and Bold Tech. We are both in Bold again for the next seven weeks, and we are currently in Maps Coaching, which has been an enlightening experience. We are not only growing our knowledge in Real Estate, we are also learning to be better Business Owners and Leaders. We are members and supporters of RPAC, which is not only looking out for Realtors, but is also making sure Property Owners are protected as well. We are devoted parents and we each have our parents still living. We would never want to disappoint them nor our children.

Our son is getting married in September, our family is expanding continually.

Our daughter is on course to graduate early from Gibbs High School. They too are members of Texas Valley Baptist Church. We give to many different charitable organizations, but we do so in private. What we offer our clients is a top-of-the-line extensive, knowledge-based marketing plan that gets results. We produce and are featured in REAL videos that promote your home, and we do informative videos as well that are posted on YOUTUBE and all of our social media. We are on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, Active Rain, Pinterest, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and of course www.buyandsellknoxvillehomes. com and www.dewaynewhitt.com. We also have listing booster provided by MIG-Lori Jaynes which is a new and helpful tool for all of our customers. We have our own free personal mobile app. We advertise in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Shopper-News, Fountain City Focus, Home Market Magazine and other publications when the area calls for it. We want everyone to know we are committed to good service, but more importantly good character.

®

Our staff is Jarren Chesney, Executive Admin, UT Graduate; Brandy Bell, Lead Buyer’s agent; Anna Vesely, Buyer’s Agent and Linda Killian, Admin assistant/ Property Manager. We are in the process of hiring Roy Wilson as a showing specialist. An additional assistant for all our social media/marketing, who will also handle weekly follow-up with all clients.

All have been put through a very detailed profile and multiple interview process to determine the BEST fit for the position, because we pride ourselves on having the BEST on our team. Dewayne and I have over 200 hours of additional Real Estate

courses just in the past year. To keep us abreast of the trends, new technologies and changes in our market. So that we can provide great service. We have sold over 500 homes since 2001. Our families are very large and we grew up with traditional values and high standards.

Our name and reputation means more to us than anything, and we have instilled the same values in our children. We hold ourselves and our team on a high accountability level. And are always trying to exceed it. We are aggressive yet accommodating. We enter a transaction as friends and we complete it as friends.

We treat our clients’ money as we treat our own and give the best information that we can with the experience we have.

Our guidance is the same to our clients as we give our family and children. We may not always tell a client what they want to hear, but they will always get the truth and the information as we receive it. We have developed property, currently own a development in Gibbs, and we have extensive knowledge in residential, multi-family, land and acreage, commercial, investment properties and of course NEW constructions. We have covered it all.

Shakespeare shines on Market Square

By Sh B Shana Raley-Lusk R l L k It may seem like a bit of a stretch to combine top-notch entertainment, literary education, the atmosphere of the great outdoors, and an exciting night downtown. But, thanks to the Tennessee Stage Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special nightly performances of two of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plays this summer, that challenge can be easily met in Knoxville.

The two plays chosen to be performed this summer are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much Ado About Nothingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicus.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Philosophically, we always try to balance the plays, for instance, a comedy with a tragedy,â&#x20AC;? says Tom Parkhill, Founding Artistic Director with Tennessee Stage Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started with the idea that we would do the big well-known titles for Shakespeare on the Square, but of course, you cannot always choose those. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Titusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is not as well-known, so we balanced that with the ever popular â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Much Ado About Nothing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicusâ&#x20AC;? has not been performed for Shakespeare on the Square previous to this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very dark, but was actually Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular play during his own lifetime,â&#x20AC;? Tom adds.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to make a dark and violent play beautiful by using stylized movement as a storytelling device.

For the performances, the company spends a considerable amount of time

Brian Bonner as Tybalt and Jenny Ballard as Mercutio fight to the death in a previous production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Juliet.â&#x20AC;? Photo submitted and energy creating the perfect backdrop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We build our own stage and tie it onto the pavilion,â&#x20AC;? Tom explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put up a backdrop and it is built to somewhat resemble The Globe Theatre in London. It is a one-level, flat stage.â&#x20AC;?

As in years past, the company will be performing the plays free of charge, but will also pass a basket for donations at each performance. They recommend a $10 per person donation if possible.

Fun for the whole family, Shakespeare on the Square brings the past to life as it explores the dynamic and seemingly

endless meanings in the writing of William Shakespeare.

If you are looking for the best seats in the house, so to speak, the company invites you to reserve VIP seating for $15 per person. A bottle of water is also included with the reservation.

For those who prefer the cool comfort of indoors this time of year, Tennessee Stage Company will once again be offering two indoor performances of the plays at the Square Room located at 4 Market Square. The cost to view the plays indoors is $10.

Tennessee Stage Company is offer-

ing a couple of other opportunities for the community to experience the plays firsthand. Shakespeare Out Loud is a quarterly reading of one of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plays held at Lawson McGhee Library downtown. Typically held on the third Sunday of the month at 2 p.m., these readings are free, fun, and everyone is welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This helps everyone gain exposure to the plays in a new format, and each attendee has the opportunity to read at these events,â&#x20AC;? Tom says.

This is also a chance for the company to explore plays that have not yet been performed on Market Square.

Another offering this year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shakesology,â&#x20AC;? gives play-goers the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the play prior to its performance and provides a study of the play being performed on Market Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a sort of guide to each play and even looks at the given playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film history,â&#x20AC;? Tom explains.

These performances and events are an ideal way to combine culture, learning, and fun this summer.

Shakespeare on the Square will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much Ado About Nothingâ&#x20AC;? July 17, 19, 25, 27 and 31, and Aug. 2, 8, 10, 14, and 16; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Titus Andronicusâ&#x20AC;? July 18, 20, 24 and 26, and Aug. 1, 3, 7, 9, 15 and 17.

All performances start at 7 p.m. on Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Info: tennesseestagecompany.com

Flatwater equals fun

By Carol Zinavage

Sande MacMorran with his painstakingly restored Wenonah canoe Photos by Carol Zinavage

Sande MacMorran of North Knoxville likes nothing better than calm water and a sleek canoe.

MacMorran, retired UT professor of tuba and current tubist with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, was at one time an active racing member of the U.S. Canoe Association. Between 1993 and 2005, he placed in the National Championship in standard class racing three times.

“Those were 17-mile races,” he remembers. “One stroke a second.” He mimes the rowing and chants the cadence: “A thousand one-two-threefour, a thousand one-two-threefour.”

MacMorran (his first name is pronounced “Sand”) comes from what he describes as “hot racing canoe country” – Spencer, Ind. After receiving his degrees – a bachelor’s degree in music education from Ball State University and a master’s degree in performance from the University of Wisconsin in Madison – he did a stint with the U.S. Army Band. “We

were stationed in Washington, D.C.,” he says. “We were the nation’s band during the Vietnam War.” In 1974 he came to UT as professor of tuba and taught there until he retired in December of 2013. During that time he also served as the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Associate Conductor, the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra’s conductor, and music director/conductor for the Appalachian Ballet Company, a position he still holds.

Speaking of his favorite pastime, he says, “You go to the Northeast and the Midwest – there’s lots of paddling. There are paddling clubs all over – it’s a way of life. But people are much less active down here.

“Tennessee has world-class whitewater, but we also have the best flatwater and, in my opinion, the best variety of flatwater paddling in the country. There are gorgeous flatwater rivers everywhere in the state, and they’re not used much.”

While he’d like to see the sport become more popular, he doesn’t mind

the fact that his paddling trips are so uncrowded.

“The rivers are mine!” he declares, laughing, “and I share them with Liz!” He’s speaking of his friend Liz Offringa, who is originally from The Hague, Holland. The retired flight attendant and office manager met MacMorran in a coffee shop on Market Square three years ago. He heard her lilting Dutch accent and the two got to talking. “What’s the best orchestra in the world?” he asked and she immediately answered, “The Royal Concertgebouw [of Amsterdam]!”

The two share a love of music, nature and an active lifestyle. He’s recently introduced her to his beloved flatwater via a pair of kayaks.

“Kayaks are becoming more popular,” notes Offringa. “They seem easier and they’re inexpensive.”

When the two invited me and a friend to come along on a recent Saturday, I was thrilled. We put in at the Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge boat dock and paddled down the French Broad River, three of us with kayaks and Sande with his canoe. “There’s nothing like a canoe,” he said. “They’re so smooth.” He did indeed handle the craft as an extension of his body, easily maneuvering

Sande MacMorran and Liz Offringa in MacMorran’s “boatyard”

The former racing canoeist points out a rock formation on the French Broad River.

around the river, speeding ahead or coming alongside another boat to chat. It’s no trick to spot the former racer in his form and style.

He knows the river well.

“There’s a reef up there,” he called, pointing ahead to a visual line in the water. Indeed, the deep water gave way to a shelf about two feet below the surface, a formation MacMorran identified as part of an island in the distance. It was a good chance to hop out and dunk, and I did. “Need any help?” another kayaker – the only other one on the river – called out from a distance. “No thanks!” I laughed.

“It’s shallow!”

It’s a funny feeling to be standing in thigh-high water in the middle of the French Broad River.

We pulled alongside a high rock wall that had been carved out below by the current. “There’s a cave up there,” said MacMorran. We speculated on its occupants. In a little while, we came upon another natural formation.

WHAT’S THE MOST FUN EVENT OF THE SUMMER?

“This is the healthiest, happiest poison ivy you’re ever going to see!” laughed MacMorran, using his paddle to point to a vine growing high on the rock and sporting dinner-plate-sized leaves.

A blue heron seemed to stay with us during the entire trip.

Several times we observed the magnificent waterfowl lifting from its riverside perch and soaring into flight, just ahead of us.

Each time, we were stunned into silence by the bird’s beauty and grace.

Everyone should experience this. And it’s just out our back door.

“You know, when you think about it, this country was founded on canoe travel, what with the Hudson’s Bay Company, fur traders, and the like,” said MacMorran. “It’s very much a part of American history.”

Back home in North Knoxville, he proudly shows off the watercraft collection he keeps in the boatyard he built behind his house. Among his favorites are a

single-person racing canoe that weighs only 18.5 pounds. “Those things are like riding a green bean down the river. They’re real ‘tippy.’”

Another treasure is a wooden canoe made by the Wenonah company. He and his friend D. Scot Williams, a cellist with the KSO who is also a fine cabinetmaker, restored the historic craft, adding exquisitely detailed woodwork.

In retirement, MacMorran still enjoys teaching and has private students, some of whom pay no lesson fee. But he’s glad to have more time to do the other things that he enjoys, like working on his historic North Knoxville home, cooking, and, of course, getting out on the water with Liz, other friends and his daughter Grace, who’s also an avid kayaker.

“I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world,” he says. “I just like to be on the beautiful water around here in any form, on any boat.”

Farmers markets offer farm-fresh food, new experiences

By Shana Raley-Lusk When it comes to the availability of farm-fresh produce, East Tennessee has a lot to be thankful for this summer. With farmers markets springing up all around the Knoxville area, there are plenty of ways for local shoppers to find unique products, fresh delicious food, and lots of fun new experiences for every member of the family.

But the importance of farmers markets goes far beyond the wholesome veggies and fruits proudly displayed at the markets.

“Farmers markets are a great way to connect with your community, for customers and producers,” said Charlotte Tolley, director of the Market Square Farmers Market in downtown Knoxville. “Customers can talk to the people that grow their food and learn new ways to incorporate locally grown foods into their diets, and learn to experience new things.”

These markets provide important opportunities for the farmers as well, though.

“Farmers and producers are able to get direct feedback from their customers and grow their businesses, as well as talk to

other growers and producers to collaborate and learn from each other,” Tolley added.

For many, spending those hard-earned dollars at a farmers market just feels good.

“Our shoppers know that their dollars are going straight to a small business owner in their community,” Tolley said.

Jeff Cannon, organizer of the Dixie Lee Farmers Market in Farragut, shared similar insights about the value of farmers markets in general.

“Our main focus is to provide the community with goods made by the community,” Jeff said. “Our market is a no-resale, producer-only farmers market. Plus it’s a great chance for the consumer to meet the farmer who grew the food they are purchasing.”

Some markets go far above and beyond the sale of fruits and vegetables. The Maryville Farmers Market, for instance, offers children’s activities as well as products from Blackberry Farms. And they are not alone in their quest to provide customers with one-of-a-kind experiences.

Many of the local markets offer organic choices, plants, artisan crafts, meat, milk, and even ice cream.

With all of these exciting options to mesh shopping with entertainment, be sure to check out what these local markets have to offer this summer. It is an experience which may just turn into a weekly ritual. Most markets operate May through at least October.
