‘Not-metro’ is all about the money, says Burchett

By Sandra Clark Announcing his upcoming nuptials was not the news nugget of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s speech to a business group in Fountain City, yet that announcement got all the media play.

Much more impactful was his endorsement of unified government for Knoxville and Knox County and his pledge to work for the merger during his upcoming four-year term.

“Yes, I’m serious,” he said. “We have two governments because of fiefdoms. … Just don’t call it metro.”

Burchett wants to reduce, not enlarge, the size of local government. He wants to eliminate du-

plication, but he’s not about to suggest the hot-button issues that have doomed previous votes.

(State law requires unification to be approved by voters in both the city and the county balance.)

“We’re not taking away anybody’s right to elect officials. We’re not raising taxes.” He proposes service zones in which residents could choose (and pay for) enhanced services such as garbage pickup and fire protection.

“It’s bad for business,” he said, citing awkwardness in explaining local government to companies seeking to locate here.

“And it’s bad for your tax dollars,” he said.

County Commissioner R. Larry

Tim Burchett ends his talk in Fountain City.

Smith agreed. “If elected officials put their egos aside, it would happen. It just makes sense.”

Knox County’s debt has been reduced by $59 million in three years, Burchett said.

Central, Gibbs get new principals

By Sandra Clark Superintendent James McIntyre has named new head prinicpals for Gibbs and Central high schools. Each is the third principal in three years for his school.

Michael Reynolds, veteran principal at Fulton Reynolds and most recently Farragut High school, has been moved to Central High School, replacing Dr. Jody Goins who resigned to return to Claiborne County High School as principal.

At Farragut, Reynolds has assembled a stellar faculty and the school has consistently earned recognition in national publications ranking public high schools.

Reynolds’ wife, Sallee Reynolds, is now principal at Hardin

Valley Academy. She was previously an assistant principal at Central High.

Jason Webster is the principal at Gibbs High School, replacing Tom Brown who had said he would retire. Brown was unavailable for comment at press Webster time, but never quite caught on at Gibbs High after years of successful leadership at Holston Middle School.

Webster has been assistant principal at Halls High and most recently at the L&N STEM Academy.

Both Reynolds and Webster were social studies teachers prior to entering administration, meaning each should fit nicely with Halls High principal Mark Duff, also a social studies guy.

As for that marriage, Burchett said he will wed Kelly Kimball on July 26 at an undisclosed location.

“We’ve both got enough stuff,” he said, requesting no gifts. “Make a contribution to HonorAir.”

HPUD puts Julian at top of list of three

By Sandra Clark Julian

Miller

Wow! What are the odds of three guys going off alone to evaluate 10 job applicants and coming back with almost identical lists for the top three?

That’s just what happened at Hallsdale Powell Utility District when board members Todd Cook and Bob Crye, along with CEO Darren Cardwell, looked over the 10 applicants for Kevin Julian’s spot on the three-member board of commissioners.

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will select one of the three nominees or he can reject the list, forcing HPUD to recommend three more. In a brief meeting Monday, the commissioners selected Julian, Knoxville Police Lt. Kenny Miller and Bob Rountree.

Ten district customers applied for the post: Cathryn Best, Eddie Busler, William Ron Houser, Kevin Julian, Suzette Lacy, Kenneth Miller, Tausha Price, Phillip Daniel Raper, Robert Rountree and R. Larry Smith.

Three did not return a questionnaire, Cook said. They were Best, Lacy and Raper.

The Ed and Bob show comes to County Commission

By Betty Bean It’s been a year or so since Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley worked together, but the two longtime morning-drive radio stars will be colleagues again once they’re sworn in as Knox County Commissioners Sept. 2.

In the meantime, they’ve had a couple of dinners with the other two new commissioners-elect (Charles Busler and Randy Smith), and they plan another in August, which they know is perfectly legal now, although come September, sunshine laws will come into play and put constraints on their gettogethers.

But they are adamant about one thing: “If the two of us are at

In addition to being on-air personalities, both have run businesses, both are grandfathers and both want to attract more and better jobs to Knox County for the sake of their grandchildren (Ed has five; Bob has three).

Beyond this phase, the next step will be to assess the bottom of the lake once it’s drained to determine how much, if any, dredging may be needed.

Following this decision a new aeration system will be installed. Everything mentioned up to this point is being considered by the city of Knoxville.

Following this process, it is very likely that a new pump, fountain jets, lighting and landscaping will be needed to make this jewel sparkle as it has in the past.

Ministry Center van stolen, used in robbery The Shopper-News gets its share of interesting phone calls. The latest was from operations manager Bill Keeler at the Fountain City Ministry Center.

Ruth White

It seems that thieves have stolen the vans from several churches in the Fountain City area (Central Baptist, Fountain City Presbyterian, Fountain City United Methodist) and from the ministry center and used them to commit ATM robberies. The first one happened around June 1 and another around June 12.

Following the last robbery, radio station B97.5 was called, and DJ Ashley Adams broadcast a lookout for the “Jesus van.” Shortly after the program aired, a home-health worker spotted the van behind one of the other churches.

The bandits struck again last week, once again targeting the (newly repaired) ministry center van. Said Keeler, “We sent it off to be fi xed again, and it’s an expensive repair for our nonprofit organization.”

The center gives out food bags to feed approximately

Overton (back, far right) and coaching staff hosted a youth football camp. “We had a great turnout, with approximately 118 kids participating each night,” said Overton. The camp helped players with basic football skills, and Overton called the event a “great experience” and a good time for everyone.

want to make sure we’re tracking business and that we are fiscally responsible and good decision makers.

Ed and I had lunch the other day, and somebody told us, ‘They ought to let you two guys go out and talk to businesses.’

“I’m not afraid to stand up to people, and I’m sick and tired of minimum-wage jobs coming to town and us thinking that’s a big victory.

I’d like to find jobs that give people a career – the kind of jobs that attract 20- and 30-year-olds who want to have a family to come here and stay here.”

Brantley has promised not to vote for any new taxes and says that he will stick by that pledge.

“I’m taking a stand on not voting for any new taxes.

People are taxed to death,” he said. He sees no conflict between this stance and his promise to push for a new Gibbs Middle School.

Thomas said he wants a strong infrastructure but at the same time intends to be fiscally responsible. He approves of the way the county is being managed.

“Things are at a standstill,” Brantley said. “Why can’t the chair of the school board and the chair of commission get together and say, ‘What can you live with?’ ” Both Thomas and Brantley laugh at suggestions that they’ll vote in “two-for-one” fashion.

Briggs vs. Campfield Not a dime’s worth of difference?

Never say there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between state Sen. Stacey Campfield and his challenger, County Commissioner Richard Briggs.

Sandra Clark

Briggs has a medical degree and a real job: heart surgeon for over 30 years. He’s been president of the Knoxville Academy of Medicine.

Briggs is a combat veteran of Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan, retiring as a U.S. Army colonel.

He’s served on County Commission since 2008, tackling complex issues like billboards, pension reform

and economic development.

Stacey Campfield, on the other hand, served in the House and Senate for almost a decade before passing a bill. He’s marginally self-employed, “rehabbing” and renting run-down real estate. His college experience was online, and his experience in uniform is limited to Halloween.

Campfield, 46, is old enough to act better.

He likes to blame the “liberal media” for his bad press, but he’s been sued for defamation, booted from the Duncan Family Barbecue for his antics, and escorted out of a UT football game for failing to remove a mask when asked to do so.

Let’s elect a serious senator – Dr. Richard Briggs – and watch him effectively serve in Nashville. There’s a world of difference.

Knox County DA Randy Nichols talks with Northwest Democratic Club treasurer Nancy Stinnette at the club’s July meeting.

Mary Beth Leibowitz and Hubert Smith at the Northwest Democratic Club Photos by Cindy Taylor

Leaving for the next adventure

By Cindy Taylor Friends and family gathered with the Northwest Democratic Club to honor three favorites who are moving on to a different phase of life.

Indya Kincannon, Mary Beth Leibowitz and Randy Nichols were thanked by club members for their willingness to speak at meetings and help out in other

ways whenever they were asked.

“Randy and Mary Beth have always been so gracious to come and speak to our club,” said treasurer Nancy Stinnette. “We wanted to do a little something to show our appreciation.”

Nichols leaves his position as district attorney general for Knox County at the end of August. After holding

the position for 22 years, Nichols says he is retiring but not stopping.

“I haven’t looked for work in 40 years,” said Nichols. “I don’t know if I can find anybody to hire me or not.”

Leibowitz was the first female Democratic judge in Knox County and held the seat more than 25 years.

“No one thought I could get reelected,” said Leibow-

itz. “This club stood by me and supported me. I have learned a lot from these folks. As for retirement, my plan is to do whatever I want.”

Leibowitz said her parents told her that their obligation was to educate her sufficiently, and her job was to make a living.

Kincannon was on vacation but sent her regards.

McKamey seeks to save Democrats from themselves Last week, John McKamey made a 200-mile round trip to Knoxville from his home in Piney Flats to talk to the Central City Democrats about why he’s running for governor. He’s pretty much going it alone, and his short-term objective is to save the Tennessee Democratic Party from itself.

He doesn’t want another national embarrassment like the one they suffered through two years ago when part-time flooring installer/ Tea Party supporter Mark Clayton took advantage of his superior alphabetical position on the ballot and beat opponent Park Overall to become the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, facing Republican Bob Corker. The Washington Post, among others, named

Betty Bean

Clayton, whose most prominent supporter was Republican Stacey Campfield, the worst Senate candidate in the country, and the Tennessee Democratic Party became a national laughingstock.

With this in mind, McKamey is acutely aware of the perils of low name recognition and inferior ballot position, and points out that two of his opponents have catchy names – Charlie Brown and Kennedy Johnson.

“None of the other candidates are campaigning,

for someone.

“I started two days before the deadline. Somebody has got to stand up for education and for women and for people who are being denied health insurance,” he said.

He’s not a supporter of the Common Core State Standards, which he labels as “test, test test.”

“Teachers want to teach the student – not to the test.

They’re making robots out of teachers and robots out of students, and all they’re talking about is numbers and statistics.”

He’s not a fan of vouchers and charter schools and says he’d hire an experienced classroom teacher as commissioner of education.

He says his concern for women’s rights has been sharpened by experience.

“When I was a county commissioner, there was a lady who applied for a raise, and county commission, including me, kept turning her down. When I was county executive, she sued, and won. And she was right. I’ve been to court and I always remember the 14th Amendment. It means equality for everybody.”

And he has an even more personal reason: “My wife had rheumatic fever in high school that damaged her heart severely.

When we got married in 1960, her doctor told us she couldn’t stand a pregnancy.

He told her, ‘If you get pregnant, you come here and we will take it,’ so we never had children. I trusted the doctor’s and my wife’s judgment, and we never did have

McKamey spent 23 years as a Sullivan County commissioner and four years as county executive. He gets real serious when he talks about the issues, explaining that he spent 50 years in public schools as a student, teacher and coach, and he strongly disagrees with what’s happening in Tennessee’s public schools. He got tired of waiting for his party to produce a serious opponent to challenge Gov. Bill Haslam.

Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached. The Senate acquitted him by a single vote.

Johnson’s ideas for rehabilitating the South after the Civil War clashed with the Radical Republicans in Congress.

His opposition to the 14th Amendment, which gave citizenship to AfricanAmericans, helped seal his low standing in the polls.

Better together

A somewhat interesting couple is approaching their 60th wedding anniversary.

They tell each other they are better together than they could have possibly been as individuals.

They are not at all famous, but there are historic combinations that convey that same message of better together: Mantle and Maris, Sonny and Cher, Hewlett and Packard, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Huntley and Brinkley, Johnson and Johnson, Romeo and Juliet – you get the idea.

Lasting linkage extends to Tennessee sports. Ernie and Bernie come to mind first.

Bernard King was Tennessee’s best-ever basketball player. Ernie Grunfeld

Marvin West

was very, very good. They were great together.

Both made individual impacts. King was an NBA superstar. Grunfeld continues as an executive. Bernard is in the pro hall of fame. Ernie has an Olympic gold medal.

As Volunteers together, they were the best show of Ray Mears’ many colorful years. You don’t hear much about it anymore, but Stu Aberdeen coaxed them from New York City to

Knoxville. It was a recruiting miracle, two superstars forever linked.

The best football combo is Kiner and Reynolds.

Steve Kiner and Jack Reynolds are linked linebackers from 1967 to 1969.

Jack manned the middle.

There never was a day when football was too tough for Hacksaw. Steve chased from sideline to sideline with intent to inflict bodily harm.

They produced similar results but were very different. Kiner was a first-game starter as a sophomore.

Reynolds had to be convinced he was good enough to play.

Kiner was an extrovert, confident, aggressive.

He talked. Sportswriters quoted him, sometimes correctly. He was twice an all-American. He became really famous as the first Volunteer linebacker in the

college hall of fame.

The Dallas Cowboys signed Kiner in 1970 and took him to Super Bowl V. He was a Redskin for Super Bowl VII. Later, he was New England’s defensive MVP. He had a good closing run with the Oilers.

I remember the day he formally introduced me to coach Bum Phillips. He recalled some little things I had done for him. Bum’s response: “That was an impressive presentation.”

Kiner did not take good care of his body, but he rebounded, enjoyed a profitable period as a real-estate broker, went back to school, at West Georgia and earned two degrees in psychology. Just for fun, he coached linebackers as a graduate assistant. His fierceness and passion seemed transferable. He could have been good at that.

MPC staff morale pointing south With the death of former Tennessee Sens. Howard Baker and Harlan Mathews this year, there are now only five living former U.S. senators from Tennessee.

Victor Ashe

They are, in order of age: Bill Brock, 83; Jim Sasser, 77; Fred Thompson, 72; Al Gore, 66; and Bill Frist, 62.

Brock calls Annapolis, Md., home, but he and his wife, Sandy, spend most of the year on a yacht now, cruising from Maine to Florida according to the time of the year. Thompson lives in northern Virginia and is currently acting on

Broadway. Sasser lives in the District of Columbia, while Gore and Frist both live in Nashville.

Of the living former U.S. senators (there are 165 of them) the oldest is Edward Brooke, the first AfricanAmerican popularly elected to the U.S. Senate. He is 94 and was elected the same year Howard Baker was also first elected to the Senate in 1966. Elected from Massachusetts, he now lives in Washington, D.C. The next oldest senators are former astronaut John Glenn of Ohio at 92; Ernest Hollings, 92, of South Carolina; Jocelyn Burdick, 92, of North Dakota; Paul Laxalt, 91, of Nevada (now living in Washington, D.C.); James Buckley of New York, 91 (now living in Connecticut); and Bob Dole, 90, of Kansas, now living in Washington, D.C. Hollings is also the

second-oldest living former governor. John Patterson of Alabama is the oldest at 92. Tennessee’s own former Gov. Winfield Dunn is 87 and in excellent health, living in Nashville with his wife, Betty.

■ Mark Donaldson, director of MPC, must be wondering if his sudden hiring of Dave Hill was worth the controversy it has generated. The 15 MPC commissioners must be wondering when this will all go away.

Probably not until they rein in Donaldson, who apparently considers fair employment practices a nuisance to ignore. No one was interviewed for the job Hill got.

After he gave the job to his longtime friend Hill without advertising the position or allowing anyone else to apply, Donaldson told this writer he consulted with deputy city mayor Bill

Now the only woman in a management position at MPC has been fired by Donaldson without explanation.

Do not be surprised if Dee Anne Reynolds files a lawsuit to get her job back plus extra pay.

Taxpayers will pay for this one. A lawsuit could drag on for over a year with frequent news stories. MPC staff morale is at an all-time low.

In a strange move, this man who hurt people on football fields became a health-care professional.

He is assessment coordinator for psychiatric services at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. He remains interested in old teammates and UT functions.

Reynolds was cut from different cloth. He was forever motivated by fear of failure. Even late in his NFL days, after many accomplishments, under his uniform he still wore a tattered T-shirt that said, “Too old, too short, too slow and can’t cover.”

He had heard those criticisms and used them as firewood. His persona was built on the underdog myth.

He was always grumbling, about weather, the high cost of Pepsis and how much his back hurt. He worked at being unhappy. Teammates called him Crazy Jack. He

wasn’t.

Reynolds had a long pro career and saved his money from 11 years with the Los Angeles Rams and four with the San Francisco 49ers.

He earned two Super Bowl rings. He was a John Madden favorite, an example of “Boom!”

Reynolds was and is a recluse, on an island somewhere in an ocean.

That vague reference is unfair. I know where he is, San Salvador in the Bahamas – unless he is at his Miami home. He chooses privacy. I haven’t seen him in a decade. He has no need for applause, but he is linked with Kiner, whether he likes it or not.

Regarding the first paragraph, thanks sincerely for all 60, Sarah. You are very special.

say they leave personnel issues to Donaldson. The commissioners bear ultimate responsibility for what he does. This may be a case where Mayors Burchett and Rogero have to tell the 15 commissioners (whom they appointed) that enough is enough. They did this a few years back when they jointly told Gloria Ray to depart the former Sports Corporation.

■ When Commissioner Richard Briggs and Sen. Stacey Campfield spoke to the Knox County Republican Women in Bearden, few differences emerged from their remarks.

Campfield spoke well and benefited by Briggs failing to outline differences between the two. Only soft questions were thrown from the audience. A guest without a background in Knox politics could be forgiven for thinking the two opponents were ideologically identical.

■ Gordon Ball, Demo-

cratic candidate for U.S. Senate, who says his net worth is between $10 million and $20 million (but probably higher), had failed as of July 11 to file a personal financial statement with the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee.

He asked for a 60-day extension on May 15. All other serious candidates such as Terry Adams, Lamar Alexander and Joe Carr have filed disclosure forms. Media have given Ball a pass.

Francis Alexander Ramsey Scott (1827-1909) HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

J

ohn Sevier considered his grandfather, James Scott Sr. (1760-1823), to be his right-hand man during the Indian Wars and said he would never enter battle without him. His father, James Scott Jr. (17971838), built the handsome brick mansion Cedar Grove now occupied by Stevens Mortuary, established the Scott Flour Mills on First Creek which would operate for more than 100 years and sacrificed his life for his neighbors during the 1838 cholera epidemic.

And F.A.R. Scott himself was proprietor of another early mill on First Creek, a principal in both the Tazewell Jacksboro Turnpike Co. and the Fountain Head Railway Co. (“The Dummy Line”) and husband to Margaretta Frances Deaderick, descendant of two prominent Knoxville families, the Deadericks and the Croziers.

The elder James Scott was an early settler in Blount County where he prospered and owned considerable property. The County Court Minutes are replete with his functions in an official capacity. He was a direct representative from his home county in the Second General Assembly of the newly formed State of Tennessee, at Knoxville in 1797; in the Third Assembly

in 1799; the Fifth Assembly in 1803; the Sixth Assembly in 1805; and the Seventh Assembly in 1807.

Sometime after 1815 he moved to Knox County and bought a large tract of land on First Creek and soon built a log house on the east side of present day North Broadway near Lawson Avenue. He later built a small brick house on the west side of the street. James Scott Sr. died on Aug. 30, 1823, and is buried in First Presbyterian churchyard in downtown Knoxville.

James Scott Jr. was born in Blount County on March 12, 1797, moved to Knoxville as a young man and established the Scott Flour Mills which were in operation for more than 100 years.

The mill was built between north Broadway and First Creek, near Coker Avenue.

On Jan. 27, 1825, he married Eliza Jane Naomi Bane Alexander Ramsey, the daughter of Col. Francis Alexander Ramsey and Peggy Alexander and a sister to Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, celebrated Tennessee historian. The couple lived first in the small brick home built by his father. He prospered and in 1833 built a large brick home across Broadway which would become Stevens Mortuary many years later.

named the home, became noted as one of Tennessee’s handsomest dwellings with elegant architecture and interior furnishings. Years later the imported French wallpaper which graced one of the rooms would be painstakingly removed and applied at the Crescent Bend mansion on Kingston Pike.

During the cholera epidemic of 1838, James Scott ministered to neighbors and friends without regard to his own health. He contracted the disease and died on Sept. 14, 1838, at only 41 years of age. He is buried with his parents in First Presbyterian churchyard.

Oak Hill (Circa 1888). Built on Scott Hill, which he believed to be the highest elevation in Knoxville, the mansion was on Oak Hill Ave., later the site of St. Mary’s Hospital.

Eliza Ramsey Scott, was born in his father’s first brick home on Oct. 12, 1827.

He graduated from the East Tennessee University (now the University of Tennessee) in 1846 and would later serve on its Board of Trustees for 40 years.

In 1850 he built a small linseed oil mill on Second Creek (later the site of the L&N Railroad station) and the following year he opened a small tannery in connection with it. He sold the mill and tannery in 1853; but, when Civil War began in 1861, he again joined the company, this time in partnership with John S. VanGilder who made boots and shoes. The firm later became the Knoxville Leather Co. and lasted until 1890.

He married Margaretta Frances Deaderick (18331909), daughter of David A. Deaderick and Elizabeth J. Crozier, members of two very prominent Knoxville families, on Sept. 24, 1857 at Fruit Hill, her parents’ mansion. They were parents of 11 children, born between 1858 and 1878.

In 1888 they occupied their mansion, Oak Hill, built on Scott Hill which was thought to be the highest elevation in Knoxville at that time, high above his father’s Cedar Grove mansion although part of the same original plat.* The house was demolished and St. Mary’s Hospital was built on the site in 1930.

In 1867 F.A.R. Scott and J.C. Deaderick constructed a grist mill which they called the Trio Mill on First Creek (Broadway at Lawson Street) upstream from his father’s earlier mill. They made several noted brands of flour: Magnolia, Silver Leaf, Choice, Famous and Little Valley Family. Another specialty, their water-ground corn meal, was widely sold throughout East Tennessee and surrounding states. From 1877 to 1893, when John Dempster was the miller, the mill operated as Scott-Dempster & Co., but when Dempster retired it became Scott Bros. and Co. F.A.R. Scott was also president of the Central Savings Bank and an incor-

porator of both the Tazewell and Jacksboro Turnpike Co. and the Fountain Head Railway Co. (“The Dummy Line”). He was also prominent in civic affairs and an active lifelong member of Third (later Fifth Avenue) Presbyterian Church.

An accomplished writer as was his youngest daughter, Edith Scott (1878-1971), Francis Alexander Ramsey Scott passed away on Nov. 13, 1909, and is buried in the family burial plat in Old Gray Cemetery.

Barbara Clark has performed with the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra and has been a violin instructor.

She was ordained as deacon in 1996 and as elder in 1998. She has served as associate pastor at two Chattanooga-area Methodist churches and as pastor of First UMC-Copperhill (2002-2005), St. Elmo UMC (20052006) and Anderson Street UMC (2006-2012).

Most recently, she was a chaplain in Emory University Hospital’s clinical pastoral education program. Faith UMC is located at 1120 Dry Gap Pike.

A day of faith

By Sara Barrett First Presbyterian Church is considered “Knoxville’s first church,” founded in 1792 and built in 1812 on James White’s field of turnips. Church member Pat Armstrong gave the interns a behind-the-scenes look and a peek inside the adjacent graveyard.

The building has undergone several renovations throughout the years, but there have been only 15 ministers since the church began. During the Civil War, the Union army occupied the building – letting their horses graze in the graveyard – for three years.

Armstrong likened the church’s infrastructure to that of our nation’s government. “The deacons look after operations sort of like Congress, and the elders would be the senators,” said Armstrong. The interns learned that seven U.S. presidents were Presbyterian, and the only minister who signed the Declaration of Independence was Presbyterian.

In keeping with the theme of the day, Arm-

strong discussed the beliefs of the Presbyterian church and the change in attendance at FPC. He said he and his wife have lived in the same house since 1969, and he used to look out his window and know which church each family on his street attended. Nowadays, not so much.

“I guess it is just a cultural change, and there are a lot of independent churches starting up,” he said.

A walk through the graveyard shows sunken tombstones and trees so old and fragile they are held together with cables. The oldest marked grave is William Blount’s from 1800.

An inviting concrete bench is tucked in a corner where passersby may be tempted to rest a while.

“We encourage people to come in and walk around,” said Armstrong of the yard holding about 240 graves.

“We’re located right on the corner of Church (Avenue) and State (Street). How ironic is that?” Info: www. fpcknox.org.

Pictered as Jews, they didn’t tured are: (front) Abbey Underwood, Kaila Bond, DuBois, Donna Mitchell, Charlie Hamilton; register her. (back) Katie Sasse, Lakin Scott, Zoe Risley and Joshua Mode.

She was barely 2 when her parents boarded a train and left without her. They had entrusted their daughter to a family friend. Both were murdered in Auschwitz that same year. Both were just 29.

Sonja became a hidden child, putting everyone who gave her sanctuary at risk.

GREAT SPIRIT-FILLED NIGHT OF GOSPEL MUSIC

She lived with a childless Christian couple and moved with them whenever someone questioned them about their daughter, the only girl in her class with dark hair.

She was kept well hidden.

Since Sonja was an undocumented child, a pediatrician gave her secret checkups and a woman with a cow brought her cooked milk (which DuBois said she absolutely hated). She attributes her survival to the lack of communication at the time and the Lord’s value on her life.

Even though Sonja survived one of the darkest times in history, she still felt she was in the dark. She didn’t know much about her birth parents and didn’t have any memories of them.

She had always had a sense of emptiness about where her parents were.

When Sonja and her foster parents prepared to immigrate, they needed her to sign a passport. Her real name was Clara. She didn’t know her real name until she was 12. She saw a picture of her parents only once, when she was 6, and from then until 1999, when she contacted one of her distant relatives, she knew

little about her parents, and that haunted her for a long time. She met with her Aunt Alice who told her about her family.

Sonja DuBois doesn’t just share her story for kicks.

I asked if she thought telling her story would help prevent racial hatred and genocides in the future.

She said, “If two people in a group of people I’m talking to realize when they have to make a tough decision, that what is popular is not always right.”

She wants people to be advocates for racial equality. “It is your job, when you see someone being bullied or shunned, to let an adult know or to get to know the person being picked on.

Most of racial hatred comes from a lack of knowledge.”

People talk about what they lose when they go through a horrible circumstance. Sonja DuBois gained thankfulness. She says out loud every day, “Thank you Lord.” Sonja is so grateful to have her life. She is grateful to be a survivor.

To invite DuBois to speak to your club or organization, email her at ronson@knology.net.

Inspired at Temple Beth El

Rabbi Mathew Michaels met with the interns at Temple Beth El and gave us a crash course on Jewish culture and customs.

Intern Kaila Bonds asked why Jewish men wear the yarmulke, and the rabbi explained it was to show humility. “What does a man do with his hat when he enters a church?” asked the rabbi.

The interns said men remove their hats upon entering to show reverence.

“We cover our heads for the same reason,” he said.

“All these religions you’re looking at, the themes are the same. The motifs may be different, but the reasons are the same. Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s better or worse, right or wrong … it just means it’s not the same.”

Rabbi Michaels showed the group what a Torah

looks like and explained why the pointer tool used to follow along while reading is made of silver. Only soft metals can touch the Torah, nothing hard that could be used to make a weapon of war. He also explained that when a religious item is no longer usable it is customary to bury the item as a human would be buried upon death.

The rabbi invited the interns back for service on Friday evening, and a few of them were planning to attend. Info: www.tbeknox. org.

■

St. George Greek Orthodox

The interns switched gears for a look at St. George Greek Orthodox Church after visiting Temple Beth El. Tour guide Katherine Evans invited us to recite the Lord’s Prayer with her before entering the nave, and she lit a candle in honor of

everyone’s family.

Images of saints and apostles in stained glass, paint and mosaic tile welcomed us as we sat in the front pews.

Evans said the first priests in the Greek Orthodox Church were touched by the hands of the apostles, and each priest after has been touched by the hands of the priests before him.

This has created a concrete connection throughout time to the original founders of the church.

A different saint is commemorated each day throughout the year, and Evans explained the different between worshipping a saint and asking for them to intercede on one’s behalf.

Coexisting in Knoxville

By Donna Mitchell Last week I wrote about how boring I felt Knoxville was. And then I was proven wrong again by digging a little deeper into the history of the city.

The interns visited three houses of worship located within a few miles of one another. Our first stop was the oldest church in Knoxville, First Presbyterian Church. This church houses the Community School of the Arts program (though it is not a part of the church) and relics from a member’s time in Africa. It has the founder of Knoxville, James White, buried in the graveyard.

Next, we visited the

Temple Beth El where we saw original handwritten Hebrew scrolls adorned in silver and walls lined with amazing stained glass windows. Our last visit was to St. George Greek Orthodox Church. The worship area is covered from wall to wall with beautiful images of Jesus, the apostles and St. George.

As Rabbi Michaels from Temple Beth El put it, “Diversity should be celebrated.” That is the real message behind any religion; we are all different but still worship for the same purpose.

At lunch, Holocaust survivor Sonja DuBois looked at us around the table with solemn eyes and pleaded

that we make a difference.

“Hate is a lack of knowledge,” she said.

“You are the leaders of tomorrow; the popular way is not always the right way.”

It really is a great thing that not only Knoxville, but also the country we live in allows us to have as many places of worship as we please. Kingston Pike, commonly known as “the church street,” is home to a mosque, a Greek Orthodox church and a Unitarian church right next to one another.

The best part of it all is that they can coexist next to each other. That’s the way it should be. Embrace the diversity.

Marvin Hammond promoted young people, community

By Sandra Clark Marvin Hammond was the right leader for Hallsdale Powell Utility District when the board of commissioners hired him as only the second general manager in the district’s 50-year history.

Did he move too quickly?

Maybe. Did he move HPUD in the right direction? Absolutely.

Under his leadership, HPUD upgraded its wastewater plant, upgraded its Beaver Creek water treatment plant, replaced leaking pipes throughout the district, and built a second water plant on Norris Lake.

Under his leadership, HPUD invested in people – whether it was teaching laborers to read and write or encouraging kids to return to college for advanced degrees.

In the picture on this page, Marvin is congratulating Cody Humphrey who had just received his MBA from Lincoln Memorial University while working full time at Hallsdale Powell. Cody, now older, still works for HPUD. He was at Monday’s board meeting.

Board chair Kevin Julian paid tribute to Mr. Hammond at that meeting.

“His vision for Hallsdale Powell was already set when I came on the board,” Julian said. “Marvin had big shoulders and he took the criticism for rate increases, but he did what he thought best based on 30 years experience in the utility business.

“When it all plays out, people will appreciate his

Cody Humphrey and Marvin Hammond. File photo by Ruth White vision. He will be missed.”

When business leaders in Halls were trying to block commercial development on the land that later became Clayton Park, Hammond was there at County Commission to speak.

Developers said their engineers had said filling the wetland on Norris Freeway was OK. Hammond pointed out that the Titanic was designed by engineers, while Noah’s Ark was not.

Everybody smiled and the developers were sent packing.

When Darren Cardwell was promoted to succeed Hammond, he said he hoped to be a blend of his predecessors: Allan Gill and Marvin Hammond.

When Marvin’s kidneys malfunctioned, he refused dialysis, saying he did not want to put his family through the strain. “I’m ready to go,” he told everyone who came to visit. He lived at Tennova Hospice for less than two weeks, dying July 12, and held court with

a steady flow of visitors and friends.

Sen. Lamar Alexander telephoned Marvin and asked if there was anything he could do.

“Get EPA off our backs,” Marvin told him, concerned about Hallsdale Powell employees and customers until the end.

“Dad will be remembered as a Godly servant leader, a generous southern gentleman, and one who was always showing genuine Christian love for his fellow man, especially for the less fortunate among us,” his family wrote.

“Dad was a proud alumnus of ETSU where he was member of the baseball and football programs in the 1960s. He also played minor league baseball for the Macon Peaches. He was a U.S. Air Force veteran and held the coveted Eagle Scout and Silver Beaver awards.

“He squeezed every ounce of life he was given whether he was working, fishing, or hunting. He was proud to be known as a conservative, “deep water” Baptist and as an unworthy man saved and blessed by God’s grace and love.”

U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan remembers Hammond as his first boss at the HolstonChilhowee Rec Center. Jimmy was 15 and earned $1 per hour. Marvin was 19 and “told me what to do.”

Survivors include wife Kay Hammond; children: Jeff and Missy Hammond, Lisa and Darren Cardwell; brother James (Jim) Hammond; grandchildren: John and Xan Hammond, Amber and Colby Cardwell, and Megan Pratt; great-granddaughter Lucy Rae Pratt.

Services were Tuesday at Salem Baptist Church, led by the Rev. John Holland with eulogies by Bill Landry, John Hill and John Valliant.

News From The Register Of Deeds

June data comparable to last year

produced total land sales of just over $981 million.

Perhaps the most encouraging signs in June were in mortgage lending. For the month, nearly $302 million was loaned against real estate in Knox County, an improvement of more than $50 million over May’s numbers.

While last month’s activity did slightly underperform that of June 2013, it nonetheless indicated a notable surge in mortgage markets.

In the first six months of 2014, mortgage lending in the county has been running over half a billion dollars behind the pace set last year, with about $1.38 billion being loaned against real property between Jan. 1 and June 30.

The largest property sale involved a single waterfront parcel on Houser Road in West Knox County which sold for $2.94 million. The most noteworthy mortgage transaction was a Deed of Trust financing the Walnut Street Garage in the amount of $17,750,000.

Please do not forget to exercise your sacred right to vote in the Aug. 7 elections.

By Sherry Witt

June was a relatively good month for real estate activity in Knox County, as both sales and lending figures closely resembled Sherry Witt those recorded during June 2013.

This June produced 978 property transfers while 2013 – a good year for local markets – June produced 1,039 transfers.

While the total number of parcels sold fell just short of last year’s levels, the aggregate value of property transferred was slightly more.

The total market value of property sold in June was just under $207 million, compared to $195.7 million last June.

Land sales were also up some $20 million over the May totals. In 2014, the total value of property sold in Knox County is running about $87 million ahead of the pace set in 2013. The first half of this year has

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Physical Therapy The ins and outs to make it work for you At Fort Sanders Therapy Centers, educating patients about the beneďŹ ts of treatment from a physical therapist is a yearly process for the staff, with a focus on the best course of action to make sure therapy will accomplish realistic goals for the patient, according to physical therapist Jennifer Templeton.

But for potential patients looking for the relief of pain, is physical therapy right for you? Here’s a look at what physical therapists can do and why it might be the right ďŹ t.

What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on rehabilitating a patient’s impairments or disabilities by promoting increased mobility, strength and function in order to improve quality of life. Physical therapy is performed by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs).

Who are physical therapists and physical therapy assistants?

Physical therapists are trained movement specialists. They have advanced degrees and licenses certifying their knowledge on how the human body works and moves. All physical therapists have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy; recent graduates have obtained clinical doctorate degrees.

Therapists’ specialized training allows them to examine, evaluate, diagnose and set a treatment plan for movement disorders. Physical therapist assistants have an associate’s degree in treating movement disorders and are licensed to follow the plan of care set by the PT.

What is a movement disorder and what kinds of disorders do physical therapists treat?

Is physical therapy right for you?

If you are having joint pain, limited motion or strength, or difďŹ culties when performing the activities you like to do because of pain, then physical therapy may be able to help. You will need a doctor’s order to begin physical therapy, so talk to your primary care provider or specialist to see if physical therapy could help you. Physical therapy is covered by most insurance plans.

At Fort Sanders Therapy Centers, therapists have specialized training in treating orthopedic and sports injuries, chronic headaches and neck pain, back pain, and pelvic oor dysfunction.

Helping patients to reach their goals is what makes the work so rewarding, according to physical therapist Jennifer Templeton, PT, DPT, OCS. “It’s great to watch the patient progress from being unable to do an activity to no longer needing help,â€? said Templeton. “If you’re looking for a therapy center, ďŹ nd one that encourages Physical therapist Jennifer Templeton addresses lower back pain on patient its therapists to pursue continuing Tim French at Fort Sanders Therapy Center-Downtown. education and learn the newest techniques,â€?

The proven success of the McKenzie MethodŽ at Covenant Therapy Centers provides a non-surgical option for many of the 20 percent of adults enduring chronic back pain. “It gave me back the life I thought I’d lost forever� said one recent patient.

Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), the McKenzie MethodÂŽ has superior functional outcomes for back, neck and extremity problems. It emphasizes education and active patient involvement to decrease pain quickly,

Along with one-on-one treatment, she says, “this emphasis on continuing education sets us apart by raising our quality of care and improving patient outcomes.�

Tim French, 35, chose Fort Sanders Therapy Center after having back surgery in 2005. French struggled with back and leg pain, in addition to having balance issues due to leg weakness.

As he worked with Templeton, French experienced less pain and improved leg strength he never thought he would see. “I used to struggle with signiďŹ cant weakness in my left calf, but now I’m doing things that I never thought possible,â€? French explained. “I’ve also seen my balance come back, and slowly the pain in my back and legs has decreased.â€?

At a normal therapy session, French will do numerous leg and back strengthening exercises, with Templeton supervising him. “The therapists are really good about isolating the injury and focusing on making it better,� said French. “I trust Jennifer and her colleagues so much because I know they have my best interests in mind and want to do what it takes to continue my improvement.�

restore normal function, prevent recurrence and minimize dependence on medical intervention.

As with most things, a successful solution depends on properly identifying the problem. Pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The certiďŹ ed McKenzie therapist utilizes a comprehensive process to ďŹ nd the underlying cause. In fact, research has shown the initial McKenzie assessment to be as reliable as costly diagnostic imaging (i.e., X-rays, MRIs) to determine the problem and quickly identify responders and non-respond-

ers. “Even if you have to crawl in to see her, you can walk out because she determines where the pain’s coming from and what to do about itâ€? said a patient of certiďŹ ed McKenzie physical therapist Mary SatterďŹ eld, with Fort Sanders Regional Therapy Center in Powell.

CertiďŹ ed McKenzie therapists are available at four Covenant Therapy Center locations in three counties.

For more information about this or any of the other physical, speech & occupational therapy programs call (865) 541-1300.

Heat after injury

Don’t apply heat directly after an injury or exercise, as that can make swelling and pain worse. When your initial pain has subsided, apply heat for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time, but be careful to buffer your skin with clothing to prevent burns. “And don’t use a heating pad while sleeping,� adds Karp. “People have suffered serious burns to their skin from heating pads left unmonitored.�

Ice after exercise or injury

Using an ice pack is best immediately after an injury or the overuse of joints and muscles during a workout or run. Cold reduces swelling and pain by causing the blood vessels to constrict and narrow.

Apply an ice pack to an injury for about 10 minutes at a time, but let the skin warm up again before applying another ice pack. This can be repeated several times each day for three days. “Overusing an already aggravated muscle or joint can lead to more serious damage,� adds Karp. “If you have any persistent pain in a joint or muscle for more than several days, you should see your doctor.�

Your physician may suggest that you alter your activities to provide relief to the joint or muscle affected. Or, you may be referred to a physical therapist for more targeted treatment.

Bringing the

house down

The merry pranksters of the Front Page Follies are at it again, and no one is safe.

From Gov. Bill Haslam to Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones to the Affordable Care Act – otherwise known as “Obamacare” – the major local, state and national newsmakers of the past year are all subject to parody and goodnatured ridicule.

“We are an equal-opportunity offender,” says head scriptwriter David Lauver.

The Front Page Follies, now its 36th year, is held annually to raise money for journalism scholarships at the University of Tennessee and Pellissippi State Community College. The event also features a reception, silent auction, dinner and live auction.

C a p ping off the evening is the lively vaudevillestyle show.

Elliott, who works in furniture sales, says her favorite skit is one she’s not even in.

“Gov-a-Chameleon,” a takeoff on Culture Club’s 1983 hit “Karma Chameleon,” pokes fun at Gov. Haslam for trying to appease both the moderate and extreme wings of his political party.

Elliott says the song’s performers “will bring the house down, guaranteed!”
