Baptism in Beaver Creek By Ruth White When the construction on Norris Freeway at Maynardville Highway began, Sam Foster began doing some digging of his own. Foster was raised in Anderson County, and his grandfather donated land to Zion Hill Baptist Church for its cemetery. The memory of walking through fields to get to the church led him to begin researching part of his childhood, including his baptism. He was baptized at the age of 14, and he recalled it taking place in a creek. Foster remembered stone steps down to the water but couldn’t pinpoint the location until recently. He began asking others if they remembered baptisms in the Halls creek but couldn’t find anyone who had experienced it. He talked with workers at KUB in hopes of locating the spot with few answers. Last week, Foster, friend Doyle Johnson and I climbed down the bank off Maynardville Highway and found the steps into the creek.

Foster believes that many people may have been baptized in Beaver Creek, and his main concern was not trying to stop any construction on the site but to find others who have been immersed in the waters. He hopes that once the greenway trails are built, they won’t interfere with the creek. “This was a special place to me and I’m sure for many others,” said Foster. “I just don’t want it forgotten as time and construcSam Foster stands on the rock steps that lead into Beaver Creek where he tion progress.” was baptized when he was 14 years old.

The Rev. Max Reddick says he has a good model of leadership from his calling as pastor of Fountain City Presbyterian Church. “It’s a model of servant leadership,” he said. “I take it from a carpenter who lived 2,000 years ago.” Reddick is the new president of the North Knoxville Rotary Club, taking

over from immediate past president Nic Nicaud. The gavel was passed at the July 9 meeting. “It’s been a good opportunity,” said Nicaud. “I’ve learned so much.” Reddick said he plans to focus on membership and service as Rotary president. He hopes to grow membership by encouraging current members to ask friends and

colleagues to join. “We are a diverse group of men and women of all ages,” he said. “I think there’s tremendous power in asking. Why are some people not here? Well, because no one asked.” Reddick asked members to get “skin in the game” for Rotary Club service, to To page A-3

What’s next for teacher incentive pay? By Sandra Clark This didn’t start as a trick question. Q: Will teachers be eligible for incentive bonuses for the upcoming school year? And is the money budgeted to pay them?

A: To be determined. Background: When school started last fall, teachers were given their evaluation criteria (rubric) and the chance to earn extra compensation for those who jumped through the hoops appropriately. But when the school board started forming its 2015- 2016 budget (called FY16) this spring, Superintendent Jim McIntyre gave the board a choice – pay the earned bonuses (about $3.2 million) or use that money instead to fund a pay raise for all teachers. Angst ensued. Mayor Tim Burchett agreed to

take $3 million from the county’s fund balance to pay the bonuses one time as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) adopted by the school board and County Commission. One time. Based on the MOU, the questions above should be answered No and No. Issue I: Why was money earned in FY15 being paid in FY16? McIntyre offered no explanation, but this was in his March 11 memo to board members: “This budget recommendation eliminates $3.2 million in APEX payouts in FY16 … were slated to be paid in November, but would have been fully earned by the end of the current school year.” OK. So the money earned in FY15 was “slated to be paid” in FY16 – a budget not yet adopted by either the school board or County Commission. My math education was at Halls High School, but this looks like deficient spending of $3.2 million. No harm, no foul though, when

Burchett rolled out his one-time $3 million. Issue II: So what about this year? McIntyre, again in his March 11 memo to the board, wrote, “We have committed to undertake a complete redesign of the APEX strategic compensation program this spring that would take effect in the 2015-16 school year.” But wait! The state Department of Education requires a board-approved strategic compensation plan for the upcoming year from each school district by June 30. The plan must state how many teachers are eligible and the cost. Knox County has submitted a plan that looks suspiciously like the FY15 plan without even discussion by the school board. Melissa Ogden, director of public affairs for KCS, explains: “Knox County Schools was required by the Tennessee Department of Education to submit a differentiated pay plan by June

30, 2015. Board of Education members have been informed about what was submitted, and they understand that as we review and consider redesigning the plan over the next several months, we are still obligated to meet the state requirement of submitting a preliminary plan. “Please know that we will be able to make any edits or updates to the plan based on the feedback from the Board of Education (and this has been verified with the Tennessee Department of Education). Also please note that the differentiated pay plan will not be final until the Board of Education votes on it.” Hmmm. So will teachers be eligible for an incentive bonus this year? School starts in three weeks. And has the money been budgeted to pay it? Who knows? But if money earned in FY16 is “slated to be paid” in FY17, then I guess it doesn’t matter. 2704 Mineral Springs Ave. Knoxville, TN 37917 Ph. (865) 687-4537

Small groups

score big success

By Shannon Carey

ennova Health and Fitness Center trainer Lori Meighan says she can’t take the credit for a client who recently lost 30 pounds in 12 weeks. “It’s the group,” she said, meaning a small cohort of fitness-seekers in her Training for Life training group. Training Lori Meighan for Life brings groups of three to five people together for a 12week program, including three sessions per week with a personal trainer. Four nutrition classes are also included and led by a Registered Dietitian. All of these sessions are at a significantly lower rate than individual personal training. And on top of all that, you get the accountability of a group and friendships that last a lifetime. “Most of the time they stay friends after this,” said Meighan. “They’re going through the same issues.” Tennova even adds an element of friendly competition. The Training for Life group that loses the highest weight percentage wins a prize, and the individual who loses the highest percentage wins a three-month membership.

Trainer Lori Meighan coaches Brenda Glasgow, Vicky Myers and Wendy Metz through some weight training. It was the competition aspect and group accountability that pushed the client who lost 30 pounds to win the individual prize. She had been fit before, but a busy lifestyle took her offtrack. “She came in determined to

■ Fifty to 80 percent improved cardio endurance. ■ Increased energy and improved metabolism. Any individual who completes the 12-week program will receive a Training for Life T-shirt, and those attending 36 sessions will receive a gym bag.

The individual with the greatest improvements at the end of 12 weeks will receive free membership for three months. Info: 865-859-7909 *Member results may vary.

make a change,” said Meighan. “She was really down about where she let herself get to.” That client is now teaching group classes as a member of the Tennova Health & Fitness Center team. And the team-building that Training for Life clients experience spans generations. “I’ve had groups with four to five totally different people,” said Meighan. “I’ve had a group with an 80-year-old in with 30- 40-year-olds. The trainer

tailors the program to each person. It’s a challenge, but it’s doable.” Meighan has seen great results, including people who were able to come off blood pressure medication because of Training for Life. “It’s a lifestyle change. You’re going to be changing your future health. Your future self is going to thank you,” she said. A new Training for Life session will begin in August. Info: 865-859-7909.

Dashcam restrictions catch mayor off guard The recent backtracking by the city on second-tier efforts to restrict access to the dashboard cameras in police cruisers was justified and underlines several administrative issues within Team Rogero. This is the third time the mayor has been caught publicly unaware of something the police department was doing. The first occurred early in her administration when Police Chief David Rausch called for hiring 30 new police officers that were not contained in the mayor’s budget on the eve of her budget message. She had no notice of the public statement. Second, Rogero’s threeyear absence from 911 Board meetings might never have occurred had she met regularly with her police chief and been briefed on issues. She was caught unaware of bids for a new communications system. This time she, as well as her communications office, was uninformed on the work Deputy Law Director Ron Mills was doing to push new protocols that could have limited public access to the dashcam videos. No one had told her. Once informed, Rogero quickly buried the matter.

Victor Ashe

It will not be back on her watch. Two of Rogero’s most able directors are Police Chief Rausch and Law Director Charles Swanson. She would benefit by holding regular meetings with them. She would benefit from regular meetings of her entire cabinet where all could hear directly what was going on and where the priorities stand. Any city in the United States would be glad to have Swanson and Rausch in leadership positions, but one has the distinct impression this mayor does not seek out regularly information on what is happening under the surface at city hall. If she did, she would avoid these issues and be a far more effective, can-do mayor in her final term. Her legacy would be enhanced, and she would see more accomplished. But for News Sentinel

reporter Jamie Satterfield’s sources at city hall who led her to this information on the dashcams in cruisers, it might be full steam on more limited access. Satterfield is an able, veteran NS reporter on judicial and law enforcement issues. ■ Businesses along Cumberland Avenue are continuing to lose business. Starbucks and Panera have cut some regular employees from 40 to 26 hours per week – a major pay cut. Other businesses also have fewer customers, which is lost revenue and sales tax for the city. Anne Wallace, a city employee who is widely quoted in news releases regarding closed streets, earns $74,280 a year. She received a 20 percent bump ($12,000) in August 2014; her salary was then at $60,000 after her 2.5 percent hike the previous month. She takes the bullets for much of the Cumberland Avenue construction woes. When asked why she would get such a generous raise (which few other city employees received), city spokesperson Eric Vreeland said it was approved by the mayor as it had been recommended by Director of

Redevelopment Bob Whetsel and Deputy Mayor Bill Lyons “due to her leadership on multiple projects.” No explanation of what those multiple projects were was forthcoming from Vreeland or Jesse Mayshark, his boss. ■ On a more positive note, the city broke ground on the new Suttree Landing Park last week; it will be a great asset to the city. The name of Suttree Landing was chosen in 2009 from a Cormac McCarthy novel. It was the top name in an online poll. This new park will be a great addition to the city’s park system. ■ U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Senate will not increase the gas tax this year for the highway trust fund. One wonders if Tennessee will plow ahead in six months with a gas tax hike when national leaders have pronounced a federal gas tax hike dead for now. It will be an uphill climb. ■ Both Jason Zachary and Karen Carson, who oppose each other for state representative in the Aug. 12 GOP primary, say they favor reversing the removal of the Lady Vols name from UT sports. Most fans and UT supporters agree with them.

Rogero has some fun at KAWE meet “Yippee!” Knoxville’s customarily calm, cool and poised mayor hollered out at a meeting where she was the guest speaker last week.

Anne Hart

Her audience loved it. Madeline Rogero was in her element when the Knoxville Association of Women Executives gathered at The Orangery. The KAWE even has a permanent name tag for Knoxville’s 68th mayor, labeling her an “honorary member.” So what was that shout of enthusiasm all about? Three and a half years into her first term, and with no opposition in this fall’s mayoral race, other than the possibility of a late-tothe-game write-in candidate who would have little to no chance of unseating her, Rogero told her audience, “As a political science graduate I can tell you there should be other candidates, but as an incumbent, I say ‘yippee!’ ” A former Knox County commissioner, Rogero has had some tough races in the past. She has won and lost,

Mayor Madeline Rogero with Mary Beth Ramey, president of KAWE. but she never stayed down for long, and she continued to learn how the game is played. Bill Haslam beat her at the polls in the 2003 mayor’s race but then turned around and hired her as the city’s community development director in 2006. That’s when Rogero’s political future became a fait accompli. It was a smart move for Haslam, not only for political reasons – Rogero carried with her an incredibly strong Democrat voting base that likely served Haslam well when he sought the governorship – but also because she is smart, accomplished and highly respected and would do a lot

to make his administration a success. Although Knoxville city elections are nonpartisan, anyone who pays attention knows which candidates bear allegiance to which party. A committed Democrat in a heavily Republican stronghold, Rogero was enabled by the job at city hall, working for a Republican mayor, to make new friends, impressing influential people in the Republican Party who grew to like and respect her personally and to admire her work ethic. As a result, when she ran for mayor four years ago, she walloped the opposition – both Republican and Democrat. Her popularity has con-

Nŷōr ğŷÝŗ ŷȕǊ ǻr ō

tinued to grow during her first term as mayor, even among Republicans who disdain her apparent closeness to the Obama administration, because her record of achievement as Knoxville’s mayor is unassailable. And while there is bickering aplenty in county government, that hasn’t been the case in city government under Rogero. The reason is simple: She’s a consensus builder. She is quick to give the credit to others, though, telling KAWE, “Any success we have is because of the people who work with me and because of a fabulous City Council. We don’t always agree, but we work well together. “Our initiatives are usually successful, although sometimes they need some tweaking.” Rogero discussed numerous city projects at the meeting, many of them involving road improvements and other traffic-inhibiting construction. She asked the group if they were aware there is a new city flower – “the orange cone” – which marks city construction sites from one end of town to the other, adding with a smile, “If you haven’t been inconvenienced yet, you will be.” Expect lots of sightings of that city flower in Mayor Rogero’s second term.

Campen vs. Mirtes:

The only game in town In an election year that portends few surprises and no fireworks, the District 5 City Council race could be the only game in town – if the challenger remains as feisty in the stretch as she is out of the gate.

Betty Bean “I have nothing against Mark,” said Jennifer Mirtes. “I think he’s a great guy. I just think I could do a better job. Not to seem conceited, but once you’re elected, you have to speak for the people, and once I’m elected – and I will be – my opinion won’t matter anymore. “My main goal is to make sure that I stand up and speak for the people. If my community comes to me and says, ‘Hey, we have this issue,’ I’m going to stand by them. I’m not one of these people that doesn’t have a backbone.” Incumbent Mark Campen is opening his campaign with an issue-specific approach and offered the example of his meetings with North Knoxville neighborhood residents as well as with a representative of the Hutton Company from Chattanooga to discuss plans for building a Walmart on the historic Howard House property on North Broadway. He said he urged the developer to meet with the neighborhood. “I told them it’s in their best interest to meet with the neighborhood and try to find a compromise. It’s important to point out the two main issues at hand: historic preservation and the plans of the Broadway Corridor Taskforce. Most folks I’ve heard from would like to see a mixed use for the area. “I’ve got unfinished business. No magic recipe – I just want to keep doing the work I’ve been doing, and I’ve got a great record of talking to people and listening to neighborhoods

wherever issues come up, whether it’s Inskip or Oakwood Lincoln Park.” The fifth district is large and multicultural and encompasses a big chunk of the northside out to Fountain City west of Broadway. It includes Inskip, Lonsdale and Happy Holler as well. Mirtes lives in Inskip with her husband, Chris; works part-time for Smart Home Technologies; and cares for her father, who has Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. She is active in the Inskip Community Association and is a past president of the Central High School PTSO. Her campaign will emphasize her military service (she enlisted in the Air Force during Desert Storm), and she speaks frankly about growing up in foster care and moving to Knoxville to escape a bad marriage. She made the unusual move of listing her party affiliation (Republican) even though city offices are nonpartisan. Campen, in some ways, is a mirror opposite. Both sides of his family have been Knoxvillians for generations and were involved in local politics. His grandfather, Willard Yarbrough, was a political reporter for the News Sentinel, served on County Court and ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Congress against Irene Baker for the seat made vacant by the death of Howard Baker Sr. Yarbrough ran against John Duncan Sr. in the next election and put on a credible showing, considering he was a Democrat running for a seat that had been in Republican hands since Reconstruction. Campen’s aunt, Pat Campen Medley, a Republican, served on County Commission. Unlike Mirtes, Campen, who was appointed to serve a six-month term on County Commission after Black Wednesday, claims no party affiliation and said he believes he serves his constituents better as an independent.

government Work ahead on Jackson Avenue As the city of Knoxville prepares to seek a master developer to oversee development of publicly owned properties along West Jackson Avenue, consultants are conducting a market study to provide guidance on potential commercial and residential uses of the properties. The properties, which include the cleared sites of the former McClung Warehouses, run along West Jackson between Gay Street and Broadway. They are owned by Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation on behalf of the city. KCDC has contracted with The Communities Group and Thomas Pointe

Associates to conduct the market study. “This is really the next step toward redeveloping Jackson Avenue,” said Bob Whetsel, the city’s director of redevelopment. “The market study will give us a clearer picture of potential uses along that corridor.” Mayor Madeline Rogero included $150,000 in this year’s budget to hire a master developer to oversee Jackson Avenue redevelopment. The market study is expected to be complete by the end of the summer. The city will then begin working on a Request for Qualifications for a master developer.

A ‘sign’ of progress for Knoxville After a series of amendments and amended amendments, City Council voted to make significant changes to a proposed sign ordinance. The changes, approved last week on first reading, will limit the height of new signs to 35 feet within 500 feet of Interstate exchanges, 30 feet on roads adjacent to Interstate right-of-way, 20 feet on federally designated highways and 10 feet everywhere else. The numbers originally proposed by the Sign Task Force were 40, 30, 30 and 30 feet. The city’s current code allows 50-foot signs on any road. The lower numbers are good news for those who would rather look at green

bers. Knoxville Chamber president Mike Edwards described the Sign Task Force’s proposed limit on Wendy sign heights (40, 30, 30 and Smith 30 feet) as “a major hit.” This caused me to wonder if any business ever folded due to limits on signage. mountains and blue sky I called Edwards the day afthan a jumble of advertis- ter the vote to see if he knew. No surprise: No such ing. And that would be everybody, excluding a few data exist. There have advertising execs and sign been studies on the failure manufacturers. Business of businesses after road owners love their own signs changes, but none on sign but could probably do with- height changes. From Edwards’ perspecout the rest. Before approving lower tive, it’s not about having the sign heights suggested by biggest sign – it’s about becouncil member George ing fair. State law has grandWallace, a business own- fathered the 50-foot signs, er himself, council heard so it’s wrong to limit new from community mem- businesses to 10-foot signs.

Those in favor of lower signs point to Turkey Creek shopping area, which is wildly successful, even with strict limits on sign height. Turkey Creek can’t be compared to the rest of Knoxville because it was developed all at once with a uniform standard, which meant all tenants played by the same rules in regard to signage. Research shows that signage is very important for businesses, Edwards says. Brand repetition is crucial, and signs provide that. Still, there is ample evidence within the community that big signs aren’t required for big business. Case in point − the Bearden Chick-fil-A, owned by Ed-

die Halliday. When neighbors and other concerned citizens learned that the corporate office intended to put a 50-foot sign in front of the store, built in 2012, they pleaded with Halliday to install a monument sign instead. He did, and long drive-through lines are a testament to the store’s success. The same is true of businesses along Kingston Pike west of Cedar Bluff Road. A group of self-appointed “sign cops” have made a habit of asking businesses along the corridor to keep signage low, and they’ve complied − and thrived. Edwards didn’t have an answer for how the Internet – cell phones in particular

– affects the need for signage. He did point out that it’s illegal to use cell phones while driving. On our family vacation, I booked my hotels online and located my favorite fast-food restaurant with my phone (while someone else was driving, of course). Signs helped me see those businesses as I approached, but played no role in my choosing them. These days we use the Internet or local newspapers to find our insurance agent, tire store or a guy to fi x the dishwasher. Big signs for stores may go the way of the Burma Shave signs. Thank you, council members who voted for lower signs. Please do it again.

Bill Kidwell (1934-2015) Bill Kidwell, a nationally recognized artist, passed away July 7.

Fountain City lost a good friend when acclaimed artist William Van “Bill” Kidwell Jr. passed away on July 7 in Columbia, Tenn. Bill was born in Fountain City on July 27, 1934, the son of W.V. Kidwell Sr. and Alma Kidwell.

Jim Tumblin

His aptitude for art dates to his first project, a Crayola mural on his Grandmother Collins’ front door on Ocala Drive in Old Fountain City, where he spent much of his early childhood. He was only 2 years old at the time. He attended Fountain City Grammar School and Central High School, where he graduated in 1954. He credited the late Virginia Wilson Monroe, Central High School art teacher, with assisting him in developing his early technique. After high school, Kidwell served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 3 1/2 years, then

entered the University of Tennessee, where he majored in painting with a minor in art history. Soon C. Kermit Ewing, UT professor and widely known local artist, hired him as an assistant in the art department. Then, for two years, he taught science and art and coached basketball at Vestal Junior High School. Desiring to pursue a career as an artist, however, he moved to Florida briefly before moving to Los Angeles, where he became a technical illustrator for Lockheed Aircraft. He was soon promoted to department manager and by his fourth year was working on the top-secret SR-71 Blackbird Project. In 1964, seeking a more creative approach to art, he moved to Mazatlán, Mexico, for a time but soon returned

In 1966, he traveled the Eastern United States painting in several locations and photographing scenes for future works. After a sojourn in New Orleans, he moved to Berkeley, Calif., where his work was published in several Bay Area periodicals. He was living on a 40-foot sailboat, and the harbor scenes he painted were met with an enthusiastic reception. Then he moved to Santa Ana in Southern California before moving to Taos, N.M., where he established a gallery connection and experienced robust sales of his Southwest work. Eventually, his roots in Knoxville brought him home to establish a studio on Fort Loudoun Lake. Soon a one-man show attracted

attention at UT, and he was asked to teach design and figure drawing and did so for the next two years. During this time, Kidwell and his friend author Cormac McCarthy completed an awesome project in downtown Maryville, a 15-foot section of mosaic sidewalk. It was valued so highly that it was later moved to the plaza in front of the Blount County Library at a cost of $8,800. When the opportunity came to become an artist and photographer for a National Geographic expedition to Yucatan, Mexico, he signed on. After the project ended, he leisurely traveled north to the U.S. border, painting and filming future subjects along the way. His inspired Mexican paintings called for an exhibit, and all the works were sold on opening day.

Always open to new challenges, Kidwell moved to 47 acres in Williamson County in Middle Tennessee in 1973. He designed and constructed his three-story passive-solar timber-framed house. It drew so much admiration that he was asked to design and build homes for three separate clients in Nashville. After 13 years of managing his own construction business he wanted to get back to art full time and returned to the Knoxville area. Following his successful 49th one-man show in Townsend, he moved back to Middle Tennessee near Columbia, where he lived with his wife, Lizabeth, also an accomplished artist. Their three-story house sits in an idyllic setting on one of the highest elevations in Maury County with a 360-degree view of the surrounding lawn, pasture and forest. Nostalgia for the Fountain City he knew during his teen years led Kidwell to paint a series of 12 historic scenes and, in 2004, he donated the very valuable original of Hotel Avenue (1950) to Fountain City Town Hall and authorized 200 signed and numbered reprints. Through his generosity and his willingness to personally autograph the prints at a oneman show and later at Honor Fountain City Day, the Town Hall Heritage Fund now has

a considerable fund balance, which it is hoped will be used to construct a “Welcome to Fountain City” monumenttype sign at the new Greenway intersection. Kidwell’s painting style proceeded from realism to non-objectivity over the years. In recent years, he began a “stream of consciousness” technique that was only 4x4 inches in size. He studied and corrected the pencil drawing, then colorized it. Eventually the drawings were expanded to 8x8 inches and 8x12-inch acrylics, and favorites were again expanded to large scale for sale in galleries in Ventura, Calif., and on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Recognizing his contribution to preserving local history, the Central High School Foundation and the CHS Alumni Association placed Bill Kidwell on the CHS Wall of Fame on Nov. 8, 2014. After a courageous battle with cancer, William V. Kidwell passed away on July 7, survived by spouse Lizabeth, son Alexander, stepchildren Evan and Laurel, and brother Ben. A friend observed that he was “a renegade that knew where he was supposed to be all along and became the man he was along the way.” The family will announce the time for a celebration of life service at a later date.

Collaboration is key at NTRC By Shannon Carey

Going the distance By Charlie B Ch li H Hamilton ilt You know when you go buy a new car at a dealership how on the window sticker it shows how many miles per gallon it gets and its fuel economy? These are two of the biggest questions when buying a car. Well, by 2025 the average fuel efficiency of all new cars sold in the U.S. will have to be 54.5 miles per gallon, or the automaker gets a hefty fine. Right now, a new mid-sized car usually gets around 20 to 25 miles per gallon. The U.S. has some of the most strict emissions regulations in the world. I have to say that we are about halfway to the 54.5 mpg goal, and we have 10 years to do it. With advancements each and every day by the National Transportation Research Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, we can reach that milestone. NTRC has top-notch scientists and engineers working with new technology for

l t i hi l l electric vehicles, regular passenger cars, and even heavy-duty tractor trailers. There is even a program called FEERC that stands for Fuel, Engines and Emissions Research Center that focuses on emissions control and the advancement in combustion engines. In America, we use about 135 billion gallons of gas a year. At NTRC they want to use “less fuel to go the same distance,” which is great considering the price of gas on today’s market. Lighter cars, higher octane grades of gas, and compression on a motor can boost a car’s fuel economy. NTRC is working with Ford, GM, Cummins and other automakers to improve the fuel economy and emissions of their cars. With all of this research and advancement, automakers won’t have to worry about the regulations, and maybe someday we will have a car that puts out no emissions at all.

The professionals at ORNL’s National Transportation Research Center have teamwork down pat. “When we do research and development here, it’s very seldom that we do it all by ourselves,” Claus Daniel of NTRC’s Sustainable Transportation Program told Shopper-News interns July 7. NTRC houses scientists and engineers from a multitude of disciplines, men and women, with 81 nationalities represented. These folks work with vehicle manufacturers, universities, and a variety of other stakeholders to push the United States into the forefront of efficient and sustainable transportation technology. Interns heard from Madhu Chintavali about fast, wireless charging for electric cars, from Brian West about cleaner, more efficient gasoline engines, from Dean Deter about improvements in heavy-duty truck engines, and from Jianlin Li about making batteries smaller, longer-lived and less toxic. But the team at NTRC doesn’t just span nationalities. It spans ages as well. NTRC interns Matt Love and Michael Goin are just out of high school at Hardin

The Division 1 experience By Shannon Carey Jamal Johnson of the D1 training facility in Hardin Valley told Shopper-News interns about the first time he met Vols football legend Peyton Manning. Johnson, a University of Florida alum, said “How’s it feel not ever beating us?”

Now Open!

Manning smiled and said, “How’s it feel not having a championship ring?” After blowing out his knee in professional football, Johnson went on to coach and work at D1, which Manning founded. According to Johnson, Manning and Vols teammate Will Bartholomew saw a market for professional training facilities. D1 houses an indoor football field, a weight room, and an on-site physical therapy office. “There was nothing like this,” said Johnson. “Nowhere you could get the Division 1 experience. They felt like athletes should not be the only ones privileged with that level of training.” D1’s headquarters are in Nashville, and there are locations in multiple states. Johnson is also a nonfaculty strength and conditioning coach for Central High School’s football team, and he spoke reverently about the legacy of coach Joel Helton, who recently passed away. “We as a team now believe that we are going to finish what he started,” Johnson said. “He wasn’t just about football. He was about developing student athletes and bringing them up as young men. I’ve had good coaches and I’ve had

FRIDAY-SUNDAY Chad Wood as Macduff fights it out with Joe Casterline as the title character in the Tennessee Stage Company’s current production of “Macbeth.” “M Maccb be eth t .” Photo to byy H. H Caitlyn Corbitt

on the Square By Carol Shane There’s an old theatrical superstition that forbids actors backstage to mention a certain Shakespeare play by name, having them refer to it instead as “The Scottish Play.” The rules seem to be different, however, when the play itself is actually being performed. And beginning this Friday, the Tennessee Stage Company will bring “Macbeth” to Market Square in this year’s Shakespeare on the Square. The famous tale of ambition, murder and madness is “a show that people love,” says TSC artistic director Tom Parkhill. “It’s one of the simpler plays – easy to follow.” This is TSC’s third production of “Macbeth,” having presented it in 1995 and 2005. Director Greg Congleton has been acting all his life and has been involved with the TSC since the early 1990s, but this is his first time directing Shakespeare. “Everybody puts their own twist on ‘Macbeth,’” he says. “This is medieval Scotland about to be invaded by

Norwegians, N rw No rw rwegians so we’re going with broadswords, banners and lots of blood.” For the three “bubble, bubble, toil and trouble” witches, Congleton takes a cue from this description: What are these So wither’d and so wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o’ the earth, And yet are on’t? “My concept is that they’re evil time travelers,” he says. The witches will be adorned with symbols of evil from throughout the ages, and they’ll look different every time they appear. Carolyn Corley plays Lady Macbeth. “She’s such a complicated villain,” Corley says. “I think that everything she does comes out of love for her husband – she just goes about it in the absolute wrong way.” As for the title character, actor Joe Casterline says that he is “the first Shakespeare character I’ve encountered that I actually had no blueprint for. It’s not in the stage descriptions; you have to find it yourself.” Parkhill remembers see-

ing the actor in a particular role years ago that called for depths of anger. “He’s the sweetest guy you’d ever want to meet, but he was just downright scary in that scene. I didn’t know he had that much in him. He’s been a very versatile player for us for a long time.” Providing some comic relief to the dark drama will be “The Taming of the Shrew,” running in Market Square on alternate nights. This classic tale of the battle of the sexes was the TSC’s very first show, performed in the World’s Fair Park amphitheater in 1990. “We performed it again for our 10th anniversary, and now it’s our 25th, so it seemed fitting to include it,” says Parkhill. In addition, you can brush up on your Shakespeare at “Shakesology: A Shakespeare Study Day” hosted by the TSC at Lawson McGhee Library on the last weekend of the run. The Tennessee Stage Company’s 2015 Shakespeare on the Square begins this Thursday with “The Taming of the Shrew,” per-

formed July 16, 18, 24, 26, 30 and Aug. 1, 7, 9, 13, 15. “Macbeth” will be performed July 17, 19, 23, 25, 31 and Aug. 2, 6, 8, 14, 16. All performances begin at 7 p.m. “Shakesology: A Shakespeare Study Day” will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, for “ Macbeth” and 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16, for “The Taming of the Shrew.” The 2 ½ hour presentations take place at Lawson McGhee Library, 500 W.

Amy Schumer hits the big screen By Betsy Pickle Laughs should be plentiful in “Trainwreck,” with comic Amy Schumer as star and writer and Judd Apatow as director. It’s one of two wide-release films opening on Friday. Schumer plays a commitment-phobic woman whose life of serial dating switches gears when she meets a possible Mr. Right (Bill Hader). With Schumer playing a magazine writer and Hader the sports-medicine guru of the moment, the Rrated comedy features such sports-world celebrities

as LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire, Chris Evert and Marv Albert. But the rest of the cast includes both acting luminaries such as Tilda Swinton, Norman Lloyd, Daniel Radcliffe, Marisa Tomei and Ezra Miller and comedians Colin Quinn, Dave Attell and Mike Birbiglia. The other Friday opener is the latest entry in the Marvel movie universe, “Ant-Man.” Word is, this little superhero gets stronger as he gets smaller. Fine. But when they come up with a cockroach superhero, I’m bailing.

New to the screen but not to Marvel fans, Ant-Man has been around in the comic books since the early 1960s. Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a master thief who gets out of prison and finds himself forced Amy Schumer and Bill Hader start with back into his laughs but head toward a serious relacriminal life to tionship in “Trainwreck.” come up with money for child support.

Phy sic a l activity will be a big part Hensley of Oakwood Senior Living as well. Hensley has already lined up a Zoomba instructor who will key the exercises to the needs and abilities of the residents. Zumba Gold, which is slower and lower impact, will be available, as will Chair Zumba, for those who have trouble standing but still want the music, interaction and aerobic benefits. And not all activities will be in-house. Hensley said she is planning frequent day trips, and even overnight travel, if that suits the needs of the residents. “We want to try to do a lot of educational programming, things that are stimulating for residents – new hobbies, foreign languages, arts and crafts, group exercise, any kind of spiritual support. And we definitely will be having a senior prom! “The goal here is to be as pro-active as possible. There are studies showing how aerobics, for example, can help ward off some of the effects of early-onset dementia. We just want to make sure they have activities that are engaging and also meaningful to them. We don’t want to just do a ball toss.”

Oakwood Senior Living, the assisted-living facility taking shape in the repurposed Oakwood Elementary School building in North Knoxville, will be offering a wide variety of activities for its residents. Activity director Melissa Hensley, who has a degree in social work from the University of Tennessee, is making plans and building calendars – that’s calendars, plural, because there will be two of them: one for The Retreat, a secure, selfcontained, 17-unit memorycare facility for people with dementia and another for Oakwood’s larger assistedcare community. Hensley, who works for Senior Solutions (the management company that staffs and operates Oakwood), will coordinate activities in both units and is excited about a cooperative plan she’s working on with Emerald Youth Foundation to do intergenerational programming. “We’re planning one-onone visits and games, and to have younger kids come and actually practice their reading skills,” Hensley said. “We’ve had a lot of interest from former teachers who want to live here, and this would be rewarding on both sides. At other facilities, we’ve actually worked with local elementary schools, with residents going to the schools and helping kids with reading.” Hensley is reaching out to area churches – Oakwood Baptist is on board

Everyone needs emergency plan By Bonny C. Millard The recent CSX train derailment in Blount County serves as good reminder for residents and businesses to be prepared in case of an emergency, an American Red Cross official said. Lori Marsh, major gifts officer with the East Tennessee Chapter of the American Red Cross, spoke to the Rotary Club of Knoxville recently about the humanitarian organization. The chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, Michelle Hankes, is a Rotarian and club member. The East Tennessee chapter will celebrate its centennial in 2017. Nationwide, the Red Cross responds to 70,000 disasters every year including the recent evacuation in Blount County. Marshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation was scheduled before the July 2 incident when more than 5,000 people were evacuated and multiple businesses shut down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real ques-

Several businesses including Denso, a large manufacturing facility, Walmart and Second Harvest were in the evacuation area. Although she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speaking directly about those businesses, Marsh said most people and businesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a plan in place to deal

with emergencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your plan if your day is disrupted by disaster? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge part of what the Red Cross mission is: education and training.â&#x20AC;? Marsh displayed a number of items that are considered emergency essentials: flashlights, batteries, candles, matches, necessary medicines, water, snacks, first aid kit, change of clothes and weather radio.

SBA recognizes business lending For the third consecutive year, the U.S. Small Business Administration has recognized UT Federal Credit Union with an award for helping small businesses. This year, the credit union was recognized for being the top credit union in the state of Tennessee for both dollar and volume of SBA loans. Business lending has traditionally been associated with big banks; however, over the past decade, UT Federal Credit Union has completely changed that misconception. The credit union staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and dedication to its customer base has long been recognized by the hundreds of businesses it helps, and the SBA confirms what members knew all along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UT Federal Credit Union is enabling small businesses to grow in Tennessee,â&#x20AC;? said Walter N.

Uncle Walter, Cali and fringe benefits By Marvin West Ninety years ago, a young Cumberland Presbyterian preacher put down missionary roots in South America. Walter Swartz went in with minimum Spanish and no contacts and stayed to start churches and organize a bilingual school in Cali, Colombia. Seventy years ago, a favorite niece, Sarah Jane Blackburn, listened in awe to an hour of missionary adventures and told Uncle Walter that she would like to visit Cali some day and “see what you and God have done.” Last month, along with hundreds of Cumberland Presbyterians gathered there for their general assembly, Sarah Jane Blackburn West revived the memory of Uncle Walter at Colegio Americano. Her stories earned a rousing ovation. Indeed, Sarah has insight. She is a lifelong Cumberland Presbyterian. She was a youth leader as a Cleveland youth and was elected the first woman elder at Beaver Creek church in the Powell area. She was also elected president of Tennessee PTA and served as an advocate for youth and public education in Washington – but that’s another story. At Cali, she told “Uncle Walter” stories, hand-medowns, going back to his Chicago childhood, including how he played “preach-

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Saving Captain Riley Appreciative soldier bestows honor upon ER doctor The last time Dr. James Kirksey saw Matthew Riley, the 32-year-old Army captain was in the emergency room at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, desperately pleading for relief from a horri c, paralyzing pain. Nine months later, the emergency doctor and the Army soldier, working on his doctorate in microbiology, stood face to face in a hallway of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Department, the main characters in a dramatic story of patriotism, perseverance and gratitude. In his hand, Riley held a â&#x20AC;&#x153;challenge coinâ&#x20AC;? that he presented to Dr. Kirksey. The gift was a thank-you for a life-saving diagnosis Dr. Kirksey had made eight months earlier: a spinal epidural abscess that had left Riley unable to walk and threatened to end not only a promising military career, but his very life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was truly humbled, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I deserved it. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like I stopped a bullet for him or pushed him out of the way of a runaway car,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Kirksey. Capt. Riley disagrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not be walking without him,â&#x20AC;? said Riley, who himself had been presented the very same coin from a high-ranking of cial while at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe he saved my life.â&#x20AC;? Riley had undergone a laparoscopic lumbar microdisectomy at another hospital to correct mild but chronic sciatica pain in his left leg. But after the surgery, he grew worse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much worse. He eventually lost mobility in his legs and was unable to manage his pain even with medication. He repeatedly sought emergency treatment from other medical facilities, but went undiagnosed as his health continued to decline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I woke up [on a] Saturday night, drenched in sweat, my sheets were soggy, my hair was dripping. I took my temperature and it was 102.5. I was getting chills, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sweating like crazy but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m freezing and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop shaking. Then, I started vomiting,â&#x20AC;? Riley recounted. Capt. Riley knew his fever was the sign of something wrong, likely life-threatening. As the vomiting started, he decided to call 911. As an Army microbiologist who is involved in infectious disease research, he knew this was indicative of an infection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided I was going to go to every clinic and hospital in Knoxville if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it took to nd out what was going on,â&#x20AC;? he said. By the time he arrived by ambulance at Fort Sanders that Sunday, the young soldier was pleading for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do anything you can do to alleviate this pain! Please just help me!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The pain was so extreme I begged them to give me something to knock me out. Within minutes Dr. Kirksey was there and he asked me a few brief questions, and in about two minutes he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CT and MRI.

soldier for accomplishments not recognized by other of cial means. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was presented that coin, he said it was because, number one, you are actually walking again, which is frankly a miracle, and number two, your dedication to at least make the attempt to stay in the military is the right thing to do, regardless of the consequences,â&#x20AC;? said Riley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My chances are looking pretty good and I attribute much of my survival and recovery not only to the Army, but also to Dr. Kirksey. I gave him the coin that was given to me because I believe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Dr. Kirksey was doing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the right thing, even though it con icted with what I had been instructed to do by other health professionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He reminds me of military doctors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are in it to help soldiers, to do the right thing whatever the consequences are. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I saw in him,â&#x20AC;? added Riley, unaware at the time that Dr. Kirksey is a retired Army captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He not only did the right thing, but he fought for me. He found what was wrong, he treated me with care, and he wanted assurances that I would be taken care of in the right way. He and the ER staff, including the nurses, technicians, each of Army Captain Matt Riley, left, presents Dr. James Kirksey, emergency medicine physician at Fort Sand- them, really went above and beyond.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Kirksey says he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly humbledâ&#x20AC;? ers Regional Medical Center, with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;challenge coinâ&#x20AC;?

Epidural abscess requires prompt action What exactly is an epidural abscess? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a bacterial infection that forms in the space between the bones of the spine and the membrane lining the spinal cord (spinal epidural abscess) or between the skull bones and the brain lining (intracranial edpidural abscess). An epidural abscess results in a pocket of pus that builds up and causes swelling. It can

press against the bones and the meninges, the membranes that protect the spinal cord and brain. This swelling and the underlying infection can affect sensations and physical movement. Typically, an epidural abscess is caused by Staphylococcus aureus, but in Capt. Matt Rileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it was the bacteria Klebsiella. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unrecognized and untreated, you worry

about irreparable local damage to nerves, to the spinal cord, etc., just because of the size and compression, and obviously, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the potential of spreading should it rupture or leak,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. James Kirksey, emergency physician at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So to some degree, Captain Riley had the worst of both. He was really lucky [the infection was found and treated.]â&#x20AC;?
