By Ruth White Faith United Methodist Church youth minister Bryon Easterday is on a mission, and he’s taking his youth group with him.

The mission involves going out into the community and helping others. Through this work, Easterday is building up a strong group of individuals. In support of the group, church and community members set out on a

motorcycle ride, called Resurrection Ride, to help send the group to a youth conference in January.

The conference, Resurrection, is a three-day event in Pigeon Forge and involves music, motivational speakers, group-building activities and hearing God’s word.

Each rider paid a small fee to join the group and ride to Norris Dam to enjoy the beautiful view.

Following the ride, everyone met

at the church to enjoy barbecue, browse through the vendor booths and play a variety of games. One motorcycle game involved riders driving as slowly as possible without touching down and crossing the finish line last.

The youth group is involved in local mission work, working in Vacation Bible School and assisting during the worship services, working at day camps at Wes-

ley House, building wheelchair ramps, fi xing roofs and serving food to the homeless every other month. Easterday keeps his students busy collecting food for the food pantry, delivering Empty Stocking Fund baskets during the holidays and working the kids closet at the church.

Faith United Methodist, 1120 Dry Gap Pike, meets for worship at 11 a.m. Sundays. Info: 688-1000.

Gibbs Middle School comes home

By Sandra Clark Knox County school board chair Mike McMillan says the agreement reached last week between Mayor Tim Burchett and Superintendent Jim McIntyre will enable the school system move forward with teacher raises and two new schools.

“Clearly, if this agreement is not approved, we will revert back to the mayor’s original budget, which will leave the school system some $6.5 million in the hole,” said McMillan.

“Under the agreement, we will certainly have a new Gibbs Middle School and a new Hardin Valley

Middle School, be able to do something for our teachers and move forward.”

Knox County Commission on Monday approved the agreement.

It also must be approved by the school board. The school board’s next regular meeting is 5 p.m.

Wednesday, July 1, at the City County Building. McMillan said he won’t call a special meeting.

Gibbs area residents have lobbied for a new school since the middle school students were moved out of Gibbs High School some 24 years ago and have been bused to Holston Middle School.

Supporters argue that long trip

has stifled growth in Gibbs and depressed real estate values.

The compromise calls for the school system’s administrative offices to vacate the Andrew Johnson Building downtown. At Powell on Tuesday, Burchett called the AJ “17 stories of bureaucracy.” He wants the building back on the tax rolls.

Burchett agreed to a one-time payment of $3 million so earned bonuses can be paid. In addition, teachers would get roughly two percent pay raise plus annual step increases.

While Districts 6 (Hardin Valley) and 8 (Gibbs) were winners,

District 7 (Halls and Powell) was skipped over. School board member Patti Bounds says her district has the most portable classrooms (55 classes in 28 buildings) in Knox County. McIntyre’s original proposal called for construction of a new elementary school off Callahan Road to relieve overcrowding at Powell, Norwood, Copper Ridge and Adrian Burnett elementary schools. That building is now off the table.

But up in Gibbs, the folks are saluting McMillan, Commissioner Dave Wright, McIntyre and Burchett. Gibbs Middle School is coming home.

New John Bean tape discovered

By Betty Bean The caller ID showed a Knox County government number when my phone rang last Monday morning, so I figured the call was going to be something that would put me to work.

I was pleasantly surprised when the voice on the other end turned out to be that of Bradley Reeves of the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound (TAMIS). It’s always something good when Bradley calls, because he’s doing remarkable work down there in the bowels of the East Tennessee History Center where he and his wife, Louisa Trott, are preserving ephemeral pieces of our regional history and discovering forgotten gems.

So I knew it was going to be good. Maybe some heretofore-unknown Cas

But when he said he suspected that he’d found a brand new John Bean tape, it almost blew me out of my chair.

The one who wrote a love song to his home state called “Tennessee,” that, as sung by Con Hunley, joined the list of state songs four years ago.

Bradley recently acquired a trove of audio and video recordings from another local character, Carl Warner, who worked in radio, TV and print media for about 20 years, beginning in the mid-sixties, and is moving to California to live with his son. He was a reporter at Channel 10

and served as editor of Cas Walker’s “Watchdog.” He ran unsuccessfully for state senate against Victor Ashe in 1978 and challenged incumbent Ashe to a fistfight.

When asked if he remembers Warner, Ashe said, “How could I forget him? He slugged me.”

Among Warner’s stuff were tapes from his WETE radio show, “On the Line with Carl Warner,” and on one tape, his guest was the Tennessee Playgirl, a hooker who catered to truck drivers. One of the last callers was a trucker whom Bradley thought sounded a lot like John.

He invited me to come over and give it a listen. I brought John’s friend Jerry “Woody” Hutson (memorialized on the “Plots” tape as “the one who knows about To page A-3 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph. (865) 687-4537

When Dale Weaver began experiencing recurring nausea and fatigue, his doctor referred him to Tennova. “I was shocked when the cardiologist found so much blockage in my arteries,” said Dale. “He drew this picture to show me where the problems were, and explained that I needed surgery to prevent a massive heart attack. I had a quadruple bypass. And throughout the whole process, including my cardiac rehab, I got excellent care. My wife agrees. She’s a retired nurse.

Carson enters race From the folks who brought you Tracie Sanger (Fountain City school board), comes Karen Carson, who formally announced her candidacy last week for the state House seat from District 14.

Deep into her third term on the Knox County school board, Carson is solidly entrenched in the Farragutarea district, having been active in PTA before entering politics. She’s a pediatric nurse of 35 years who works Karen Carson at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

With the election just eight weeks away, Carson has a website and a Facebook page with 200 likes as of Sunday. Her announcement press release came from Collin Thompson, the successful campaign manager for Richard Briggs against Stacey Campfield.

Her most likely opponent, Jason Zachary, still has his website from 2014 when he tried to unseat U.S. Rep. John Duncan. He’s also scrambling to buy a house and move into the district. At least he’s got yard signs, if he just snips off that part about Congress.

Carson matches Sanger’s capacity to raise tons of cash quickly. She’s got name recognition and an organization. A little cloud rose out of the sea when Lauren Hopson, incoming president of the Knox County Education Association, told board members the disrespected teachers would remember them, “no matter what office you run for.”

Carson says, “Our campaign message is simple: we must keep taxes low to secure a growing economy, we must spend tax dollars wisely, provide safe neighborhoods, encourage job growth, and ensure our children have every educational opportunity they need to succeed – from quality schools, to well-paid, effective teachers.”

She talks of “the great leadership of Gov. Bill Haslam …” Ryan Haynes was a strong Haslam ally.

Carson would be another.

The Carson-Zachary primary will be Wednesday, Aug. 12, in this heavily Republican district, with the special election Tuesday, Sept. 29, to coincide with the Knoxville city election.

Qualifying petitions are available from the Knox County Election Commission, and the qualifying deadline is noon Thursday, July 2.

Cliff Rodgers, administrator of elections, had some juggling to do with the primaries. Notice it’s on Wednesday, an odd day for elections.

That’s because every voting place in state House District 14 is at a school, and the week of Aug. 10 is the first week of school.

After talking with folks at Knox County Schools, he determined the “least disruptive” day would be the third day back – a Wednesday. Rodgers said early voting sites will be at Farragut High School, Downtown West and the Knox County Courthouse. Farragut Town Hall is “booked” every day and won’t be a voting site, Rodgers said.

The anatomy of a deal

Tim Burchett is a master politician, but Jim McIntyre proved last week he’s not too shabby.

Sandra Clark

We saw Burchett and McIntyre fist-bump after announcing an agreement that funds teacher raises and promised bonuses while building new middle schools at Gibbs and Hardin Valley.

All without a tax increase.

Sunday’s TV pundits called it a win-win, while the News Sentinel predictably called building a new school at Gibbs a “major flaw” in the agreement.

Somebody said it’s “just politics.”

Politics? We’re shocked!

What about these kids:

■ Live in Bearden but attend West High School, while kids on the Loudon County line attend Bearden.

■ Live west of Clinton Highway and zoned to Karns High, while kids up to I-640 are bused to Powell.

■ Live a stone’s throw from Halls Elementary, but bused to Copper Ridge and housed in portables.

■ Live in Holston Hills, but bused to Carter Middle.

■ Zoned to Northwest Middle, but scattered to five high schools: Central, Fulton, Karns, Powell or West.

Is this politics or good planning?

Tim Burchett negotiated a deal to prevent bad publicity through his term by forcing the BOE to present a budget within revenue projections developed by the county’s finance department. Additionally, he gets credit for building two new schools without raising taxes, funding teacher raises

■ U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, former mayor of Charlotte, N.C., was in Knoxville a few weeks ago to gather support for a gas tax increase at the federal level.

and bonuses, and putting the Andrew Johnson Building back on the tax rolls.

Jim McIntyre gets $3 million toward bonuses and teacher raises, fulfilling his school board’s chief objective; he strokes board members Mike McMillan and Terry Hill by achieving funding for their middle schools; and he gets his administrative staff out of the inefficient AJ Building.

Burchett gave up nothing – a one-time $3 million in exchange for a 3-year phase-out of his $3 million per year reading initiative is a good swap.

Slow change in race relations Fifty-nine years ago, 12 black students went to high school.

Although it doesn’t seem like a big deal nowadays, back then it changed a community forever.

On Aug. 27, 1956, 12 black students attended Clinton High School for the very first time. Clinton High had never had black students before, so it was a bit of an adjustment for the white students. Contrary to the rest of the South during the Civil Rights movement, the residents of Clinton had accepted the court mandate to desegregate, even if they didn’t agree with integration. That peace lasted about a day.

John Kasper had come into town with hate in his heart and a desire to start

Zoe Brookshire-Risley trouble. He rallied members of the community who were less than satisfied with the integration of their schools and led multiple protests.

Kasper was eventually kicked out, but Asa Carter, another segregationist, continued to lead riots and cross burnings. Through all of this, the Clinton police force kept order to protect the lives of the black students.

After the riots got too big for the small force, a home guard was created,

Websites, gas tax hikes and Isaacs City taxpayers spent $67,350 recently to redo its city website. Over $46,000 went to an out-of-country company, CivicLive based in Toronto, which designed the content management system. Was no American company qualified to do this, well alone a Knoxvillebased group?

The city pension board redid its website at a much reduced cost of $3,200. Its website is at www.cokpension.org.

The pension board seems to be more frugal than the city itself. The city communications office will argue the city website is much more complicated requiring more money and even going to Canada for advice.

The timing of this change

Burchett

nor will back it. Mayor Rogero was actively involved in the visit but did not say whether she backs a revenue increase.

Combined federal and state gas tax hikes, if enacted, could exceed 30 cents a gallon. Lawmakers thinking of voting for this would do well to review the results of the May 4 statewide referendum in Michigan where the Republican governor and GOP Legislature placed a sales tax hike referendum before the voters with the pledge that part of it would go to build roads.

Michigan voters, who tend to be more liberal than Tennessee voters, rejected this tax increase by a margin of 80 to 20 percent.

People who campaigned

for lower taxes in all their mailings will have trouble explaining a vote for the gas tax next year.

While improving Alcoa Highway would be popular and is needed, the current work on Cumberland Avenue is very unpopular and causing damage to existing businesses.

■ The Troy Whiteside case was settled on May 28 in part due to the repeated notices in this publication for over two years that our state judicial system was slow-walking the matter as the crime occurred more than five years ago. Whiteside was charged with homicide but after former DA Randy Nichols recused himself the case was referred to another district

McIntyre agreed to $1 million in administrative cuts – probably two or three positions in the central office and instructional coaches for high schools.

Burchett had little to do with McIntyre’s biggest setback – the apparent loss of funding for bonuses based on evaluations. McIntyre prefers differentiated pay to across-the-boards raises, but this program died when three former teachers and a retired school counselor joined McMillan on the school board. Without a common-sense evaluation method or a stream of state or federal funding, kiss APEX good-bye.

Is the Burchett-McIntyre agreement perfect? No. Does it beat standing across the room and throwing rocks? Absolutely.

Both men deserve credit for continuing to talk through differences until an agreement was reached. in 1956, the police were protecting the lives of innocent black youth. Nowadays, police brutality is common with people like Michael Brown and Eric Garner allegedly being subject to unnecessary, excessive force that resulted in their deaths.

The purpose of a police department is to protect the peace, but how is the peace being protected if police are using illegal chokeholds on suspects who aren’t resisting and shooting unarmed teenagers? The story of the Clinton 12 shows a time and place where the police protected black lives. Almost 60 years later, why is that not the case nationwide?

comprised of Clinton citizens. After they were overwhelmed, the National Guard arrived, staying for a month, to help bring order back to Clinton. Two years later in October of 1958, the school was bombed. It took another seven years for all grades to be integrated in 1965, a year after full integration in Knoxville.

Going to the Green McAdoo Cultural Center and examining all the history makes it look like, well, history. That is far from the truth. Although the actions of segregationists are in the past, the attitudes of prejudice and racism are not.

Many things have changed for the better, such as desegregation, but some have changed for the worse.

For example, in Clinton

where it languished for five years.

The delays became so obvious that Chief Justice Sharon Lee asked for an update on the matter after she pledged a top to bottom review of Tennessee’s judicial structure. Hopefully, 5-year delays will not occur in the future when an indictment for homicide or any crime occurs.

Whiteside has been a political operative over the years, generally linked to Republicans. His attorney, Greg Isaacs, has been successful in getting reduced sentences for his clients such as Mike Lowe, who will serve seven months for stealing over $400,000 from taxpayers and never apologizing. Whiteside will serve seven years for this homicide.

■ David Hutchins,

with 15 years on the KCDC board and its past chair, is about to depart from the board due to Mayor Rogero’s decision not to re-appoint anyone who has served two terms. This means KCDC will not have anyone on its board who has served more than three years. Former Knox County school board chair Dan Murphy was chosen KCDC chair and Jackie Arthur is vice chair.

This short-sighted policy of regularly removing people after two terms has thrown away considerable institutional knowledge and prevented Knoxville from having leaders in several national associations. While length of service is a valid consideration, knowledge, attendance, energy, concern and views on the key issues are equally valid and should not be discarded.

core program.

Jonathan Levenshus had an eScore audit last fall. He was waiting for the right time to have an energy audit when his HVAC unit quit working. The company that installed the new system suggested he contact TVA. He followed the auditor’s advice and upgraded lighting, filled gaps in insulation and tightened ductwork.

“It was a quick and easy way to find out how my home could be more efficient and I could have reduced electric bills. It’s more comfortable, and I supported the local economy.”

Such programs reduce air pollution and carbon emissions, which also helps the economy by drawing business to the area, he says.

Improving energy efficiency is an investment that pays off. The cost of attic insulation can be paid for through savings in as little

as six months, Gorenflo says.

Levenshus’ home is just 15 years old, but he thinks contractor-grade appliances reduced its energy efficiency.

Gorenflo says that those who live in older homes, which generally lack proper insulation, could get the most benefit from an eScore audit. Given TVA’s rate increase in October, now is the time to make changes, she says.

There are two ways to get an eScore audit. If you’re already thinking about a heat pump, water heater or some other improvement on the upgrade list, hire a contractor from the approved network and get a free audit when a TVA evaluator comes to your home to verify the improvement.

Or, if you’re not sure which improvement you should tackle first, pay $75 for an audit and make improvements, and receive re-

According to www.knoxvillescores.org, insulating and sealing air leaks in your attic nets the most bang for the buck, and you can do it yourself, with or without an audit.

Losing coach Tommy Prothro, Memphis native, berated the striped shirts and said he was embarrassed to be a Southerner.

At the Houston bowl game, another jolly good time was had by all. Tennessee topped Tulsa in the rain.

The UT defense performed well in ’65. Linebacker Frank Emanuel was an All-American. He said linebacker Tom Fisher was better. End Bobby Frazier made all-SEC. Bob Petrella intercepted four passes.

Offense was good enough. Walter Chadwick was the leading runner.

and three scores. Johnny Mills caught 23 passes. David Leake kicked 39 points.

Sophomore Bob Johnson was center. Paul Naumoff was a defensive end. Ron Widby was the punter.

The lineup had some other unforgettable guys – John Boynton, Bobby Gratz, Charlie Fulton, Jim Lowe, Bill Cameron, Mack Gentry, Robbie Franklin, Doug Archibald, Harold Stancell, Jerry Smith, Austin Denney, Gerald Woods, Stan Mitchell, maybe others a little less unforgettable.

The church family at Saint George Greek Orthodox Church, 4070 Kingston Pike, has suffered significant hardship this year. But stolen funds and a devastating fire didn’t stop them from helping another family.

The congregation didn’t even consider backing out of its commitment to sponsor a Knoxville Habitat for Humanity house built this spring, says Father Anthony Stratis of Saint George. It simply added the balance of the project to a line of credit it took out to cover costs.

Earlier this year, it was determined that a former treasurer had stolen $360,000 from church coffers over a four-year period.

The embezzlement came to light just weeks before Saint George’s beautiful sanctuary burned on Orthodox Easter Sunday.

The five-bedroom house, located near the junction of Clinton Highway and I-640, was dedicated on Sunday. Oksana and Ivan Havrylovych will live in the house with their seven children.

The family came to the U.S. nine years ago, and they’ve been working on the process of acquiring a home through Habitat for Humanity for four years.

Ivan, a truck driver, used his daughter as an interpreter during the dedication ceremony. While living in Ukraine, he’d heard both good and bad things about America, and the bad things mostly came from the government. But after friends and family moved here, the reports were positive, he said.

“When we moved here, we realized that this country is honestly blessed by God. Now we see, not only is this country blessed, but there are a lot of really good people.

“Now we are really, really blessed also.”

Jim and Natalie Haslam helped with the cost of the $40,000 project. This is the third house sponsored by Saint George, and it won’t be the last. Father Stra-

Finding a location large enough for a home for nine was a challenge for Knoxville Habitat for Humanity coordinator Anna Engelstad.

tis says the congregation plans to sponsor again in two years.

Herc Ligdis served as project coordinator. It was his job to make sure the build was fully staffed with volunteers. The church typically partners with another congregation, but this year the other church dropped out. Students from the University of Tennessee’s College of Pharmacy and Webb School of Knoxville, along with other community volunteers, stepped up to assist.

The extra help paid off on March 5, Blitz Day, when the walls and roof trusses were put up. Seventy volunteers were required that day, which would have been a quarter of the congregation.

The church supports Habitat for Humanity because it enables needy families to purchase a home. It allows them to accumulate wealth and gives them something tangible to pass down. The program is a hand up, not a handout, Ligdis said.

Habitat for Humanity families purchase their homes with zeropercent loans after investing 500 hours on the build and in budgeting classes.

Kelle Shultz, executive director of Knoxville Habitat for Humanity, applauded the church for honoring its commitment in spite of unfortunate events.

“What a testimony to our ministry. The church, and the community, came through!”

One life, many stories

By Cindy Taylor You don’t live to be a centenarian without having learned a few tricks. Mabel Wolfe Acuff has learned more than a few. Acuff celebrated her 102nd birthday on May 7. She says one of the things that helped keep her young was a career in teaching.

“I really liked teaching high school because they can take care of themselves,” she said. “You could have a quiet time while they did their lessons.”

The Rev. Jerry Baltimore pastors Little Flat Creek Church, which Acuff has attended since she was a child.

“Mabel has been here forever,” said Baltimore.

“She has trouble convincing people sometimes that she is over 100 years old.

Her mind is still quick as a bear trap, and she seems so happy.”

Acuff teaches a weekly Sunday school class, leads a women’s prayer group, plays the piano in church and can play the organ as well.

She grew up in the Lut-

trell and Corryton areas.

The house she once lived in on Jim Wolfe Road is still standing. She has outlived her husband, but her son, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren are around.

She loved to travel when she was still able and has been to Mexico and Canada and to Europe three times.

She says getting around in airports has become too hard.

One of her fondest memories is the Lindbergh transAtlantic flight, and she has vivid memories of World War I – many from listening to her mail carrier tell the news each day to a partially deaf neighbor. She was only

in grade school but remembers the day her brother came running home with news that the war was over.

Acuff was teaching when World War II came along and helped register young men for the draft.

She says she doesn’t have a favorite president. She says they all did something, whether good or bad. She still owns her first wringer washer but is grateful for the electric one she uses now.

“I don’t think there is one best invention,” she said.

“You have to build one thing in order to build another.”

Acuff spends her time these days reading, studying and attending her church. She still drives, just not as far.

She isn’t sure why she has lived so long but says eating farm food might have played a part. She ate whatever they could grow, including meat. Her formula for life is pretty simple.

“Don’t drink or smoke, eat your meat and vegetables, live for the Lord and stay out of trouble. I have had a good time.”

Recognizing Jesus Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

(Luke 24: 13-15 NRSV) Walking with Jesus means many things to us: obeying His commandments, living His way, loving His people.

However, in this particular instance, it meant literally walking with Jesus. Two men, on their way to the tiny village of Emmaus, were suddenly joined by a stranger. They did not recognize him.

Why? Luke does not explain to us.

You know the story. Jesus asks them what they are discussing, and they marvel that he doesn’t know the news. They sadly explain to him that the One who had been their hope had been crucified.

When they reach Emmaus, Jesus makes as if to go on, but they invite him to come with them for a meal. Their invitation (according to the rules of manners) would mean that they were the hosts, and Jesus was the guest.

But Jesus was Jesus,

and it was Jesus who took the bread and broke it and offered it to them.

In that moment, they knew who He was – Jesus, the Christ!

Similarly, it is in our receiving the bread in the Service of Holy Communion that Jesus is made known to us. He is present with us, whether we recognize Him or not.

Even so, it is only when we recognize Him that He can make a difference in our lives. When we acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior, and the redeemer of the world, we are changed, we are new creatures. Hallelujah!

Douglas Crowder: A man who made a difference If there is one thing I have learned over the past 77 years it is that people who contribute to the betterment of humanity are usually just ordinary people who seized the opportunity when it was presented.

Certainly this was the case with the Rev. Douglas L. Crowder, a Methodist missionary who grew up in the Concord/Farragut area and became recognized internationally as one of the leading missionary-educators in Africa’s Central Congo area.

Doug’s father, Thomas E. Crowder, taught science at Farragut High School for many years, and I personally remember him as an educator who brought out the best in his students by

of Jacksboro United Methodist Church in Campbell County, but his true interest was service to the chilMalcolm dren of central Africa. Doug Shell knew that education and health services were the primary need in the area and that the survival rate showing patience and giv- among infants could be ining encouragement that creased only through these made you want to do your two ministries.

In 1958, the opportunity best. And I am sure many of these characteristics were to become a missionary prepart of his parenting that sented itself, and Doug and inspired Doug to dedicate his wife, Elaine, packed up his life to education in the their belongings and left rural hamlets of the central the United States to become Congo.

unrest and eventually warfare that threatened their lives.

During their 38-year ministry, they built two high schools and several churches that drew children from remote areas where they had no opportunity for education. The Crowders solved this problem by building a boarding hostel near the schools where children from remote areas could live and study under more favorable conditions. But most important, they served as parents to the children during their stay.

Doug also served as administrator of the high schools in addition to his teaching responsibilities, and he coordinated medical services to ensure the stu-

dents received good health checks and ate healthy food.

Gardening was an important part of the education; children were exposed to vegetables not common to the area. His children remember him as a humble spirit who showed genuine compassion in his ministry.

Doug was also fluent in several languages and dialects, which helped him communicate effectively with community leaders.

In 1964, civil unrest in the area that had been going on for some time exploded in all-out warfare between rebel communist forces and national forces. And Doug and Elaine were caught up in the hostilities. Finally, at the rural mission camp at Womba Nyamn, they found themselves in an area that was under complete control by the rebels. In most cases the rebels had simply asked the physicians and missionaries to evacuate, but at Womba Nyamn they held the Crowder family, along with four other families, hostage under house arrest.

During the fighting, one of the physicians held hostage was killed.

Civil unrest continued for three decades and created an environment of uncertainty in that it was

impossible to tell what tomorrow might bring. And for a time, Doug Crowder was an important link with the U.S. State Department to provide information as to what was going on in the area. One declassified communication asked his assessment of the condition on the ground. Doug retired in 1996 and returned to East Tennessee, where he remained active as minister of congregational care at Central United Methodist Church in Lenoir City.

Prison ministries was one of Doug’s most fulfilling ministries.

Doug passed away on Feb. 20, 2010. He liked classical music and the theatre, and I was fortunate to have met him at several performances at Clarence Brown Theatre where we had the opportunity to talk and reminisce. Doug is not someone I would have thought would gain international acclaim in his field. But people who make a difference are often those who follow their passion and leave a legacy that remains long after their passing. And I am sure there are many former students in the central Congo area who are living a better life today because of Doug and Elaine Crowder.

James H. Roberts, tanner and farmer, was born in Knox County, Tenn., Oct. 25, 1832, the son of Henry G. And Rebecca Harris Roberts.

Rebecca was born in 1810 and was a member of the Presbyterian church. Henry was born in 1808 and died in 1866. Henry was listed at the Woodbourne Post Office and he was a farmer.

James, the eldest of eight children, probably completed the eighth grade and at 14 became a clerk at Woodburn/Woodbourne in Knox County. At age 24 he became a stock trader in Chester, N.C., where he had a livery and sale stable to which he brought stock purchased at home.

By this time home was Union County. By 1861 he was engaged as a tanner and was postmaster at Woodbourne until 1868, first under Federal and then the Confederate government.

He was burned out twice during the Civil War. On Jan. 20, 1852, he married Saphrona Ellis of Grainger County. They had a large family. James and Saphrona joined the Methodist church in 1853. James was a Mason and a prohibitionist.

Tanning is the process used to treat skins of animals to produce leather. A creek still runs along Old Tazewell Pike where the tannery was located. Lots of water is a necessity for operation of a tannery.

The tannery was on the left side of Old Tazewell Pike near the intersection with Harless Road in a nar-

Bonnie Peters

row hollow and, of course, on the creek.

The trappers skinned the animals, removed as much fat as they could and stretched the hides on boards to dry. After acquiring the hides, Mr. Roberts probably immersed the hides in a solution of lime and water called “liming” to soften the skins and loosen the hair; or he could have used another process using wood ash (lye) and water, which was called “bucking.”

Both processes could have been used at Roberts’ tannery because lime was readily available in the area, and certainly oak trees are all around Union County.

When loose, the hair was scraped off with a dull knife.

Before tanning the unhaired skins were degreased, desalted and soaked in water several hours. I don’t know what was used, but some treatment had to occur to keep the skins from molding.

Because the odor from tanneries was quite noxious, pioneers would certainly not build downwind from a tannery.

Leather was much in demand for saddles, water skins, bags, boats or leather-covered canoes, armor, quivers, scabbards, boots, To page A-9

Edward Terry Sanford, Part II (1865-1930) Edward Terry Sanford entered the Preparatory Department of East Tennessee University as a junior in 1876 at only 11 years of age.

He had obtained a waiver of the usual age requirement.

The East Tennessee University received the Land Grant designation in 1869 and the state Legislature renamed it the University of Tennessee in 1879 just in time for Edward T. Sanford to matriculate. Again he had to obtain a waiver as he was only 14 and the requirement was age 16.

He graduated from UT in 1883 with both the A.B. and Ph.B. degrees. He “wanted to carry his mind and career beyond the contemporary Knoxville Lawyers,” so he chose not to “read law” in the office of a practicing attorney as was the custom at the time. Rather, he chose an academic route by first attending Harvard’s Literature Department with advanced standing as a junior and graduated in 1885 with a B.A. degree in political science, magna cum laude.

After studying languages and economics in Germany and France for a year, he entered Harvard Law School and graduated cum laude in 1889, having edited the Harvard Law Review for a time. Sanford now had five earned degrees: A.B. and Ph.B. (UT) and B.A., M.A., LL.B. (Harvard).

When he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Warren G. Harding in 1923, someone would observe, “Sanford is the most educated justice ever appointed to the Supreme Court.”

He returned to Knoxville and began an 18-year career

Jim Tumblin

with the law firm of Lucky, Sanford and Fowler. He proved to be an able attorney, continued his studies of history and became active in local politics.

On Jan. 6, 1891, he married Lutie Mallory Woodruff (1866-1939), daughter of prominent local merchant, W.W. Woodruff.

Having been elected president of the UT Alumni Association, Sanford was chosen to deliver the Centennial Address which he titled “Blount College and the University of Tennessee.” The address was so impressive that the university published it and it was used for many years as a history of the university.

He also became a lecturer in the law school and, by 1897, had been made a trustee of the university.

Like his father, he involved himself in numerous civic activities, joined the Tennessee Historical Society, served as a trustee of the Lawson McGhee Library and as president of the Bar Association of Tennessee.

During this time, the Sanfords welcomed their two daughters into the family circle: Dorothy (Metcalfe) in 1891 and Anna McGhee (Cameron) in 1892. In 1900 Sanford assumed his father’s long-time position as a trustee of the East Tennessee Female Institute, a pioneering school for girls.

In 1907 President Theo-

dore Roosevelt appointed Sanford as a U.S. District Attorney. Only one year later, he was appointed Judge of the U.S. District Court for the middle and eastern districts of Tennessee. For the next 15 years he distinguished himself on the bench.

His abiding interest in education led him to take on the responsibility as a trustee of the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville in 1909. He maintained his rigorous schedule on the bench during World War I but found time to serve numerous causes on the home front.

Judge Sanford had met and become friends with William Howard Taft who served as president from 1909-13. For the only time in U.S. history, Harding appointed past-president Taft Chief Justice of the United States where he would serve from 1921-30. Taft was much impressed by Sanford

and recommended his appointment to the court.

Edward Terry Sanford assumed the high office of Justice of the Supreme Court of the U.S. on Jan. 29, 1923, the only UT graduate and the only Knoxville native to be appointed although five other Tennesseans have served on the court.

During his career he rendered 130 opinions most of which were conservative, favoring strict interpretation of the antitrust laws. He was known as the court’s specialist in so-called technical cases involving difficult procedural or statutory matters.

The most significant was the Pocket Veto Case (1929) which clarified the circumstances under which a president could use that power, a question that had lingered for 140 years.

But his best known opinion was his majority opinion in the Gitlow v. New York (1925) case, involving a socialist who had published a manifesto which advocated the violent overthrow of the government. The outcome was important but more important than upholding the defendant’s conviction was Justice Sanford’s statement that “we assume that freedom of speech and of the press are among the fundamental liberties protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.”

see Special Collections

This cornerstone of modern constitutional jurisprudence – incorporation doctrine – guaranteed that the Bill of Rights extended to the actions of the states. In time, protection for persons accused of crime was assured by extension of other sections of the Bill of Rights to the state courts.

Justice Edward Terry Sanford died on March 8, 1930, as a result of uremic poisoning following a tooth extraction, a death which would not have occurred with modern antibiotics. He had served on the court for only seven years.

Ironically, Sanford’s longtime friend, former president and recently retired chief justice William Howard Taft, passed away only a short time later that same day.

It was customary for all the members of the court to attend the funeral of deceased members so it was necessary that they leave Knoxville immediately after the Sanford funeral to attend Taft’s services in Washington. The photographs of Sanford’s interment service near the 45-foot obelisk at Dr. Kesterson’s family plat in Greenwood Cemetery vividly depict the poignant scene of one of the largest funerals ever held in Knoxville.

Lutie Woodruff Sanford survived her husband for another nine years living in Toronto, Canada, with her younger daughter, Anna McGhee Cameron. Sadly, the older daughter, Dorothy S. Metcalfe, had passed away in 1915 at only 23 years of age.

Powerful start to a day in Clinton

By Shannon Carey Shopper-News interns started June 8 with a solemn, eye-opening visit to the Green McAdoo Cultural Center in Clinton. The center tells the story of the Clinton 12, high school students who integrated Clinton High School in 1956.

Administrator Marilyn Hayden said the integration started in a peaceful manner, but outside influences stirred up protests and violence against the students and their supporters.

Hayden’s brother, Ronald, was one of the Clinton 12. She wasn’t yet born in 1956, but the history is important to her.

“If I didn’t value it and give up a job to come here, it would say something about the legacy,” she said.

The center opened in 2006, on the 50th anniversary of the Clinton 12’s fateful walk down the hill to Clinton High School. All but one of the surviving Clinton 12 attended.

“They reacted with tears. They were just over-

whelmed,” said Hayden.

“They finally realized that somebody was paying attention and somebody cared.”

This year, the center will host a reunion weekend Aug. 28-30, on the 50th anniversary of the Green McAdoo School closing to students.

Admission to the center is free, but donations are appreciated. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday.

Zoe Brookshire-Risley, a rising sophomore at West High School is back for another summer. Zoe enjoys playing the ukulele, writing songs, climbing and acting.

When asked what she wants to do in the future, Zoe said that she “wants to make a change.” She will study activism and fight for equality and the rights of all human beings.

Laken Scott also returns for another summer with the interns. Laken is a rising sophomore at Hardin Valley Academy. She enjoys reading and photography. In the future, Laken would like to become a social worker or open a bookshop/café. If she could have lunch with anyone in the world, Laken

would pick Steve Carrell, but says that he would have to act like Michael Scott from “The Office” the entire time.

Anne Marie Higginbotham is a homeschooled student and will begin her sophomore year in the fall. She enjoys drawing, reading and photography. In the future, Anne Marie would like to open a café. If she could have lunch with anyone, it would be Taylor Swift.

Bailey Lemmons will be in the ninth grade at Central High in the fall. She enjoys writing stories, softball and drawing. Bailey hopes to be a nurse in a thirdworld country and be a fictional author on the side. If she could dine with anyone in the world, it would be Cassandra Claire, the author of one of Bailey’s favorite book series. She would hope to get great writing

tips from Claire and ask her about certain characters.

Amanda McDonald will be in the eighth grade at Gresham Middle School in the fall. She enjoys traveling, photography and drawing. Her plans include traveling a lot and documenting her adventures with her camera. She would love to have lunch with John Green because she calls him “an amazing author” and believes it would be interesting to know how he gets his story ideas.

Maggie Williams is a rising tenth grader at Farragut High School. She enjoys reading and cross-stitching.

Although she isn’t positive on her plans for the future, Maggie thinks she might enjoy teaching English or math. Maggie would love to have lunch with Jimmy Fallon and would want him to do impressions the entire time.

As we walk into Green McAdoo Cultural Center, the statues of 12 highschool-age students carrying books and bags tower over us, frozen mid-step as they walk to school.

“It was just something … nobody talked about it, nobody wanted to talk about it,” Marilyn Hayden, the Cultural Center’s administrator, said of the silence on the “Clinton 12,” who were the first African American students to integrate a Southern public high school. That high school is East Tennessee’s own Clinton High. Hayden’s older brother, Ronald Hayden, was one of the Clinton 12, but even he never spoke to her about his experiences.

What began as a (nearly) peaceful move toward

equality in 1956, started even before the ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education, quickly became a nightmare. Mobs formed, the Ku Klux Klan burned crosses, the students were spit on and threatened as they tried to get into their school, a helpful white pastor was severely beaten, cars were vandalized, and white students who continued to go to Clinton were accused of being “[n*****] lovers.”

Even after the National Guard moved in (responding to a rumor that there would be a cross-burning at the Clinton vs. Oak Ridge football game) and stayed for two weeks, the road to graduation that year for Clinton 12 seniors Gail Epps and Bobby Cain was a rocky and turbulent one. In fact,

two years later, in 1958, the ripples from the desegregation of Clinton were still felt when dynamite explosions caused extensive damage to the school, forcing students to temporarily move to Oak Ridge High School.

Luckily, no one was physically injured. In spite of all of that, “… I’m not sorry that I went to Clinton High School,” Bobby Cain told reporters after his graduation.

The Clinton 12 statues were placed outside the Cultural Center in 2007.

Hayden said the now-elderly Clinton 12 met the unveiling with tears. Under the statues is a quote from a 1957 sermon by the Rev. Paul Turner: “… where anarchy prevails, none of us have anything of any value and none of us have any freedoms anymore.”

‘Ray Varner’s pulling for you’

By Shannon Carey Before sitting down to a barbecue lunch just off the showroom at Ray Varner Ford, intern Abi Nicholson shook Ray Varner’s hand.

“Are you the one from the TV commercials that says everything really fast?” she asked.

Grinning, Varner said he was.

“I’m going to get your autograph!” said Abi. Varner, and the entire staff of Ray Varner Ford in Clinton, greeted the Shopper-News interns like family June 8, providing a delicious lunch and showing the interns every aspect of the car business.

“My advice to young people starting in any business is to work hard and do right, keep a great attitude and be thankful, and you’ll be successful,” said Varner.

And he certainly lives up to his own advice. Varner attended Halls schools, then Roane State and UT after graduation. In 1986, at age 22, Varner gave car sales a try. It was a perfect fit.

“I love people, I love cars, and I love talking to people,” he said. “You see and you meet all walks of life. When you approach a customer, you need to give them the most respect, no matter how they look.”

Shopper interns Emma Dale and Zoe Brookshire-Risley show several items they selected for purchase at Hammer’s in Clinton.

Following a delicious bar-be-que lunch, Ray Varner provided the interns with a tour of his dealership in Clinton and answered some tough questions from the group. Pictured are: (front) Abi Nicholson; (center) Bailey Lemmons, Maggie Williams, Amanda McDonald; (back) Emma Dale, Ray Varner, Anne Marie Higginbotham, Maggie Ogle, Lauren Gaines, Laken Scott and Zoe Brookshire-Risley. Photos by R. White Varner said the fast pace of changing technology has been a challenge over the years. Different customers prefer to shop for cars and communicate in different ways, like visiting the website versus visiting the showroom, or texting ver-

sus emailing. Today’s cars operate with a lot of computer automation. There’s even a model on Varner’s lot that will hit the brakes if it detects that the front bumper is too close to another car. Car repair requires computer expertise as well.

Varner encouraged the interns to work hard and follow their dreams.

“You can rest assured that Ray Varner’s pulling for you, no matter what you decide to do.”

Delightful dessert at Hoskins

By Shannon Carey Interns finished a hot day in Clinton with ice-cold goodies from the soda fountain at Hoskins Drug Store.

The full-service pharmacy also offers novelty and souvenir items and great food, all in an atmosphere that is a blast from the past.

Interns (and weary chap-

erones) lined the counter for milkshakes, root beer floats, banana splits and chocolate malts.

Hoskins is located at 111 North Main Street in Clinton.

Intern shopping spree at Hammer’s

By Shannon Carey Interns had a blast combing the aisles of Hammer’s Department Store in Clinton for unique finds and discount buys. Several came out loaded with purchases.

Our sincere apologies to their parents!

Kelly Calhoun and his mother, Margaret Hammer Calhoun, welcomed interns to their store and gave them a brief history of Hammer’s.

“When you come in here to shop, you actually meet the family that runs the business,” Kelly said.

It all started in 1941 when Kelly’s great-great-grandfather, A. B. Hammer, opened a salvage goods store in Guntersville, Ala. The store grew, and the Hammer children and their spouses opened more stores in Alabama and Tennessee, passing these stores to their own children.

The Hammer’s stores no longer sell salvage, but they do look for deals. The family visits New York and Las Vegas to find merchandise at a low price.

“Say a manufacturer cut too many pieces of clothing,” said Kelly. “We might buy those extras and sell them. We are synonymous with low prices.”

Interns asked if Kelly’s children are expected to take over the store one day.

He said that it’s not required.

“We want the kids in the family to try it out first,” he said. “They need to work it and they need to love it if they’re going to be part of it.”

Hammer’s in Clinton used to be downtown, but now it is located at 1200 Charles Seivers Boulevard.

Clinton 12 hate mail shocking

By Maddie Ogle Last week on our trip to Green McAdoo Cultural Center in Clinton, the most surprising thing to me was the cruel hate mail that some white people sent to the Rev. Paul Turner, a local Baptist minister who spoke in support of the Clinton 12, the black students who inte-

grated Clinton High School.

These letters were so hate-filled that I had mixed emotions about reading them. I couldn’t believe that some people would say such unkind things to other people based on skin color. And I wanted to read more to find out what other people said in support of the Clinton 12.

I could only imagine how scared but brave the Clinton 12 must have been. It was interesting to see other interns’ reactions and opinions regarding the Clinton 12. I am so glad that times have changed so all students, regardless of skin color, can go to school together.

Superheroes

and

By Carol Shane

If you haven’t been to the Knoxville Zoo yet to see those two brand-new baby Western lowland gorillas, this is a good weekend to go.

And it’s a chance for your own small fry to be a very big deal.

“Superhero Saturday” happens this Saturday, and children under 12 dressed as their favorite superheroes get in free with one paid adult admission. Your young costumed crime fighters will get to meet Spider-Man and Captain America themselves, and enjoy crafts and activities in addition to animal adventures.

By the way, those tiny great apes are just the newest tots to hit the scene. A recent post on the Knoxville Zoo’s Facebook page brags, “Though the gorilla babies certainly are a huge deal, they are not the only babies we have. Our Chacoan peclets are getting bigger and coming to the fence more often.” These baby peccaries – hoofed mammals that resemble wild boars – came along in the middle of the day on March 31, surprising and delighting the staff of the zoo. Not least because they’re on the endangered list.

Susan Petrunio, one of the zoo’s mammal keepers, points out that there are only 300 such animals in the wild. According to Petrunio, 16 zoos host Chacoan peccary populations, and the Knoxville Zoo is one of only nine zoos accredited to breed the mammals. So, while a baby peccary may not inspire the “awww” factor the way a baby gorilla

standing Nurse of the Year Award. The hospital’s physicians honored Critical Care nurse Destinee Gideon with the 2015 Elizabeth Killeffer Award.

Nurses garner top honors On an annual basis, two awards are given to honor nurses at Fort Sanders Regional for their excellence in clinical care.

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 Gilbertson Fellowship are nominated by their fellow nursing peers, and the recipient is chosen by the hospital’s nursing leadership. This

Pat Underwood, RN, 8 North

year, 8 North nurse Pat Underwood was elected as the recipient.

“Pat is a fantastic shift leader for 8 North. She is the heart and soul of our unit and always available to her staff and patients,” says Suzanne Dean, manager of 8 North.

In addition, the Fort Sanders Regional Medical staff physicians named Critical Care Nurse Educator Destinee Gideon as the 2015 recipient of the Elizabeth Killeffer Award.

Tony Farmer, director of critical care services, speaks highly of the

work Gideon has done. “Destinee’s commitment to her job is outstanding. She is very gracious and always pushes for what’s right for the patient,” Farmer said.

Elizabeth Killeffer was the director of nursing from 1922 to 1960 at what was then called Fort Sanders Presbyterian Hospital. Since 1992, the Killeffer Award has been given to an outstanding employee who is nominated by peers and chosen by vote of the hospital physicians.
