Teacher info State Rep. Gloria Johnson wants to make sure teachers of subjects that don’t have TCAP tests know about the Sept. 1 deadline to comply with a new state law that could affect the way they are evaluated. In the past, 15 percent of their evaluation scores have been based on school-wide or county-wide “literacy” or “numeracy” scores (i.e., reading or math scores of students they never taught). Johnson posted this announcement: “Is everyone aware that teachers who teach untested subjects now have the ability to choose whatever relevant method they want for their 15 percent as of 7/1/2014? “You can make up your own measure as long as it is relevant! It has to be approved by superintendent and if there is a disagreement it will go to state BOE.” State Rep. Harry Brooks sponsored the new law.

Jamie Rowe campaign kickoff Second District school board candidate Jamie Rowe will have a campaign kickoff 5-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Fountain City Lions Club building in Fountain City Park.

The election to replace Indya Kincannon will be held Nov. 4. Knox County Commission was set to appoint an interim board member Aug. 25.

The drive to 55 By Ruth White Gov. Bill Haslam stopped by Gibbs High School last week to talk with juniors and seniors about Tennessee’s Promise and the opportunity for students to attend community college or technical school for free. “Many students would love to attend college but don’t know how they can,” said Haslam. “Tennessee’s Promise helps provide the way.” Participants will have some responsibility, including meeting with a mentor, performing community service, filling out necessary forms and attending orientation. The program is designed not just to get students into college, but to get them through it, too. Approximately 32.6 percent of Tennesseans have a degree or

Tennova gets OK for cardiac cath lab By Sandra Clark Tennova’s north medical center is expanding. Administrator Rob Followell said a certificate of need has been approved to enable construction of a cardiac cath lab. Designed by Barber McMurry, the new center will be constructed on the ground floor of Building C (main hospital) and will include offices and a diagnostic space. Construction and equipment will cost about $4.3 million, Followell said. “We’ve been talking about this for three years.” He expects construction to start in September. The lab will feature the latest diagnostic equipment, and physicians will be able to treat abnormalities found in the heart or ar- Dr. David Harrison and Tennova North administrator Rob Followell discuss plans for hospital expansion.

When we caught up with him, Followell was meeting with a new Tennova physician, David Harrison, D.P.M., who is opening a practice, Tennova Foot and Ankle, in Clinton and at the Dannaher Road facility. He will perform surgery at the North Knox hospital. Dr. Harrison was genuinely excited about the growth prospects at Tennova, saying he and his partner feel it’s the best place to grow their practice. Tennova has spent $211 million on service and facility improvement, according to the company’s website. Followell said Select Medical Corporation will be relocating from the former St. Mary’s Medical Center to the new hospital off Emory Road.

But McIntyre can’t draw. “It’s the doggone Common Core,” he says. “I have to conceptualize all the steps involved in pulling the gun from the holster. I know engineers who can’t do it.”

Mama makes three: Rountree attends orientation By Betty Bean Superintendent James McIntyre is off to a rocky start with one of his new school board members. Ninth District school board representativeelect Amber Rountree will be sworn in Sept. 2. She is due to have a baby Sept. 6, and stayed on her job as an elementary school librarian through the end of last school year. She has taken “sick time” as medical leave this summer to preserve her health insurance and will resign Sept. 1. Her Knox County Schools coverage will remain in force until Sept. 30. Rountree was elected to the school board on a “no rubber stamp” campaign promise and was one of the most vocal of the teachers who spoke out last year against McIntyre’s policies. Her maternity-leave status became an issue after she participated in a tour McIntyre conducted at Dogwood Elementary School Aug. 11. Her former opponent, incumbent Pam Trainor, also attended the tour. On Aug. 13, McIntyre sent Rountree an email informing her that he had “fielded a few questions … about your status, which I answered tactfully. I’m starting to become a bit

concerned that some people may perceive it as inappropriate for you to be accompanying me on school visits while you are a paid school librarian out on medical leave. “Sorry to broach a potentially sensitive subject, but I just wanted to make sure you know that such questions are being asked.” On Aug. 18, McIntyre sent another email informing her Rountree that she would not be allowed to attend an Aug. 21 orientation session for incoming board members “given the fact you are out on maternity leave due to physical disability.” He said he’d set up a separate session for her after Sept. 2. Later that day, Rountree sent McIntyre an email reply telling him she’d checked with David Buuck, the chief deputy law director, who assured her that there was no legal reason to bar her from attending the orientation session with fellow board members-elect Terry Hill and Patti Lou Bounds. McIntyre responded the next day:

“I certainly appreciate the opinion of the deputy law director, but I’m not willing to accept the risk, nor any potential appearance of impropriety.” Rountree again asked the law director’s office for guidance. Buuck replied quickly: “Amber, I am astounded at the disrespectful response of Jim McIntyre to a member of the BOE which body is his employer.” Buuck shot off an email to McIntyre: “I can find no reason that she should be denied the right to attend the orientation meeting on account of her pregnancy and have so advised her.” McIntyre responded: “Unfortunately, I believe you have significantly mischaracterized my correspondence with Ms. Rountree.” The next day, Buuck escorted Rountree across Gay Street to the Andrew Johnson Building where she attended the orientation. McIntyre tweeted a picture of the three new board members. There were smiles all around. The Shopper-News obtained the emails last Friday after submitting a public information request to the law director’s office.

Model A memories By Cindy Taylor Landon Lett passed away in May, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in Model A art. Lett was a charter member of the Tennessee Valley Model A Club and was honored by the club during a special memorial Aug. 14. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett attended the event. “I love seeing these old Fords. They are a

part of my history,” said Burchett. “There is something special about preserving something that is uniquely American. I am sorry for your loss and honored to be a part of this presentation.” A special print done in Lett’s honor will hang at Henry’s Deli in Gibbs, the club’s usual meeting place. “I miss him every day,” said Lett’s widow, Bennie Mae.

Books, bulbs and chicks Northgate Terrace resident Margaret Bowling is a busy woman. The 86-yearold recently published her second novel, “Mountain Glory,” and held a book signing to celebrate.

Oh my!

Ruth White

The novel is a sequel to her first book, “Mountain Refuge,” and continues with the story of Bowling’s greatgrandfather, Will Wilson. Wilson raised his family in a community called Norma in Scott County and the books are based on real life but Bowling emphasizes that the novel is fiction. “Mountain Glory” focuses on the lives of Wilson’s children, including Bowling’s grandmother, Nancy Wilson. Bowling fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming an author with the series and is currently working on a third book. They are available on Amazon.com or through the publisher at www.neilans. com. ■

Probably the most interesting tip of the day came from Stacy Wilson who said that when she plants bulbs, she doesn’t worry about placing them perfectly in the dedicated area. She has been known to scatter them in the hole she has dug, knowing that they will orient themselves properly in time. ■

a lifetime of adventures in his 98 years. He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1941 with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture. Harold served his county in

World War II as a Private First Class Quartermaster. He worked as the UT Extension Agent in Union County from 1949-1975. Harold married his lovely wife, Ella Bevins Julian, in 1956 when both were age 41. Ella and Harold shared an apartment at Elmcroft until she passed away in 2010 at the age of 95. As a part of Harold’s Second Wind dream, he returned to Union County to participate in a program he started many years ago called the “4-H Chick Chain Show & Sale.” Harold’s service to the community was celebrated by sharing a big cake and the community gave him a “Friend of 4-H Award.”

Heiskell seniors

It is all about the fun in life at Heiskell senior meetings. Sure, there are always topics that concern seniors – but mostly it’s a laugh-aminute. In a turn-about of events, the seniors honored outgoing commissioner R. Larry Smith with a thank you and a cake. Generally it is Smith who makes a presentation to the center. Smith has supported the group’s fund-raising for a new building. To date more than $100,000 has been raised

So many people knew him and thanked him for being such an asset to Union County. One gentleman even remembered him from the fourth grade. The highest bid was $29 per chicken and all the proceeds went to support the county 4-H programs. Harold has not only made an impact in Union County, but is well-known and loved here in Halls and the surrounding communities. Special thanks to Shannon Perrin DeWitt, current UT Union County Extension Agent, Libby Morgan of Union County ShopperNews, Second Wind dreams and Elmcroft of Halls for making this dream a reality.

Guest speaker Andrea McGinn shared information about Senior Corps and the Foster Grandparent Program. “We are underserving both our seniors and chil-

dren in Halls and Powell and need more volunteers,” she said. Sara Horne shared information about the Wellspring Senior Living facility. “Things have changed over the past 29 years,” she said. “We have residents as young as 50 years old. Some of our less affected residents actually help watch over those who may be a bit worse.” Bingo Marathon Day is coming up Thursday, Sept. 25. There will be prizes

throughout the day and lunch will be available for $3. Heiskell Seniors meet at 11 a.m. each second Thursday at the Heiskell Community Center for games, lunch and a special program. All seniors are invited to attend. The center offers art classes, weight management and exercise classes, crafts, cards and more. Info: Janice White, creativedesign@frontiernet.net or 548-0326.

Lions live rich

If you haven’t been to a Knox North Lions Club meeting lately you don’t know what you’re missing. Motivational speaker and author Tim Richardson spoke to Knox North at the August 20 meeting about living rich. “Compared to much of the world you are rich if you have food, clothes, a place to sleep and more health than illness,” said Richardson. “We need to focus on living in the moment and sharing our resources with others.” Richardson advocates finding something you are passionate about, looking beyond adversity and taking just one action. “Don’t use the negative energy of adversity,” he said. “Use adversity as an inspiration for action to make life rich for other people.” Knox North Lions meet at 1 p.m. each first and third Wednesday at Puleo’s on Cedar Lane.

government Political this and that Mark Donaldson will continue for several more months as MPC director despite resigning. Now it can be told that MPC would not have voted to terminate him at this time. However, he met with Mayor Rogero without Mayor Burchett prior to his resignation, and she explained carefully to him that both mayors felt it was time for him to depart and he no longer had their backing. He got the message and did the smart thing in resigning. It avoids an acrimonious departure. For those wondering what happens to Dave Hill at MPC, no one is saying. Rogero had fired Hill when she became mayor. Presumably, he will depart with Donaldson, but it is

MPC’s executive committee continues to meet without compliance with the state’s open-meetings law as it seldom posts meeting notices on its website. ■ School Superintendent McIntyre must have been having a terrible day when he told County Mayor Tim Burchett to mind his own business. Burchett had inquired about a school employee getting two years’ paid leave. McIntyre should

A-4 • AUGUST 27, 2014 • HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news remember he answers to the public, which pays him, and Burchett is the newly reelected mayor who speaks for the entire county. He asked a valid question to which McIntyre and the school board have not given a satisfactory answer. It is hard to justify two whole years of paid leave and no one seeming to know why. McIntyre ought to go to time-out and return with a new understanding of transparency for taxpayers. A News Sentinel editorial has weighed in on it. ■ People are upset over the election of Clarence Pridemore as Chancellor. He ran as a Republican and won in a GOP sweep. He certainly appears poorly qualified to this writer. Bill Ailor was considered less qualified as well, but when compared to Pridemore, Ailor is seen as Oliver Wendell Holmes. Trying to assign blame as to why Pridemore could be

elected over Daryl Fansler, who was so widely admired, is hard as many are responsible, in my view. However, this writer feels the media (including himself) failed to do their job in educating the public about him. The major exception was Betty Bean, who writes for the Shopper and did point out salient issues, but not enough voters listened. The TV and print media largely ignored Pridemore and assumed he could not win. Only since the election have his bankruptcies been fully publicized. Pridemore hid from the media, and the media let him get away with it. The local Democratic Party never issued news releases or held news conferences. Where were the investigative reporters from TV and major print media on this one? They had the resources to expose this with front-page stories. Where was the Knoxville

Bar Association? Why did the bar fail to tell voters about Pridemore with public news conferences? Why was no poll on judges taken by the bar as the state bar did for the state Supreme Court? Everyone has egg on their faces on this one. Where were the Democratics airing the shortcomings of this GOP candidate? One has to admit that Chancellor-elect Pridemore is not totally inept as he employed an incredibly brilliant political strategy to win this office by staying so far under the radar that no one noticed him until he won. Whether he came up with this plan or someone c oached him is unknown, but it surely worked. However, Pridemore takes office in four days and will earn more than $165,000 a year plus health insurance, which is more money than he has seen in three years combined. He resides at 1613 Coro-

nada Lane off Ebeneezer Road in the Bluegrass area of West Knox County. He has been a registered voter since 2000. Mike Moyers and John Weaver, who are able fellow Chancellors, likely will see their workloads increase. Hopefully, the media and columnists will learn from this and no longer assume candidate X cannot win. One wonders if the media will examine the record and campaigns of Cheri Siler and Richard Briggs running for state senate, Gloria Johnson and Eddie Smith running for state representative, or Lamar Alexander and Gordon Ball running for U.S. Senate. The candidacies of Democrats Terry Adams and Gordon Ball for U.S. Senate were basically ignored by local media even though both are local residents. Adams won Knox County. Victor Ashe is a former mayor of Knoxville who served as U.S. Ambassador to Poland.

Elected v appointed school chief: almost persuaded I have always accepted the premise that appointed school superintendents are better than elected ones, mostly because I buy the arguments that the appointment process enlarges the talent pool and eliminates the time-suck campaigning. However. The same-but-different sagas of James McIntyre and his predecessor, Charles Q. Lindsey (don’t forget to call them doctor), have almost persuaded me otherwise. Lindsey came to do battle; won a few, lost a bunch, had some personal foibles that eventually did him in. McIntyre is a micromanager whose overreliance on standardized tests and allegiance to corporate education reform have made him the most unpopular public official in Knox County. He is said to be a very smart

Betty Bean man, something his ill-considered decision to publicly snipe at Mayor Tim Burchett, arguably the most popular local elected official, doesn’t reflect. Considering these issues sent me lurching down memory lane to revisit the first elected official I ever thought I knew – mostly because the name Mildred E. Doyle was stamped on my report card just below the line where my first-grade teacher at Fountain City Elementary School, Mrs. Bass, wrote, “Betty talks a little too much.” Doyle held the job for 30 years (1946-76) and is generally credited with drag-

ging KCS into the modern era. Her resume includes chairing and founding the Alternative Center for Learning, serving on the Maryville College Board of Directors, as president of the Tennessee Education Association and chairing Tennessee’s Superintendent Study Council and the state Commission of Children’s Services. She was a member of the NEA Finance Commission, the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth and the State Textbook Commission and was inducted into the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame in 1983 and the East Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame in 1988 and named Colonel Aide de Camp Governor’s Staff by Lamar Alexander in 1984. The consensus is that she ended her political career

with a defeat only because she stayed one term too long. Knox County’s last elected superintendent, Allen Morgan, resigned unexpectedly to join Clayton Homes. He served from 1992 to 1996, whereupon he became Knox County’s first appointed superintendent. He retired after another two years with a list of accomplishments that is too long to recount on this page. Here are some highlights: He was one of 30 superintendents in the Southeast to be a part of the Center for Leadership in School Reform. He was regional cochair of Tennessee’s Schoolto-Career program. He was a 22-year administrator, including 13 years as principal of Powell High School, which, under his tenure was named a finalist in the National Schools Recogni-

tion program and the first Knox County school named “BEST” by the Greater Knoxville Chamber of Commerce. He co-chaired the Danforth Committee, which researched the University of Tennessee’s methodology for training school administrators, and was an elected representative to the Metropolitan Association of School Superintendents. The year before Morgan retired, he fought off a whole herd of fat cats who tried to force him to hand Maynard Elementary School over to Chris Whittle’s privatization scheme. He prevailed against some of the most powerful interests in Knoxville. Could the present superintendent do the same (or even want to)? Not a chance. I’m not quite persuaded that elected superintendents are better than the

Showdown at the K-12 corral High noon. The dusty street outside the courthouse is as still as a tomb.

Larry Van Guilder

The stillness is broken as two men emerge from the courthouse and stride purposefully into the street. Sheriff Tim “Shoot from the Hip” Burchett and “Big Mac” McIntyre, pistols holstered and ready, walk in opposite directions for 10

paces and turn. “OK, this is it, Big Mac. This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.” “Yeah? Well, if you’d keep your nose out of my business at the K-12 ranch, I wouldn’t be fi xing to give you a dirt nap, sheriff.” “Your business? You know darn well this county helped you build the K-12. This is taxpayer business, Big Mac, and they’ve had enough of your wasteful ways. Now, draw!” Big Mac began fumbling with his holster. “What are you doing?” the exasperated sheriff asked. “I said draw!” “I ... I don’t feel comfortable here. Come over to the

corral and you’ll have your showdown, sheriff.” “Whatever. Let’s get this over with.” Oddly enough, the K-12 Corral was just across the street from the courthouse. “No more delays, Big Mac. Now – what the heck? You’ve ambushed me,” the sheriff said, eyeing nine gunslingers who sprang out of hiding to Big Mac’s side. “Just my little posse, sheriff. They’re going to evaluate my performance after my six-shooter puts a permanent K-12 brand right between your peepers.” “I’ll evaluate it now. It’s lousy.” “I find that remark appalling, sheriff.”

“I don’t care. I’ll take you all on. Slap leather!” Before Big Mac could clear his gun from the holster, a rowdy gang of supporters appeared behind the sheriff. “What do you know? It’s my buddies from the BarKCEA spread,” the sheriff said. “Guess we’re even now!” “Hey, some of those people work for me! Traitors. I’ll get you when this is over,” Big Mac vowed. As Burchett’s hand inched toward his gun, Big Mac hesitated. “I need my sidekick here before we start,” he said. “Your sidekick?” “Yes, I had to send her

home.” “Why did you send your sidekick home? What did she do?” “Nothing. Maybe. I don’t know. But I’m still paying her, so it’s all right.” “You’re paying your sidekick you sent home for doing nothing? See what I mean by wasteful?” “You’re saying that out of ignorance, sheriff!” “That’s it! Draw, Big Mac.” The sheriff’s pistol flew

appointed kind, but I must reluctantly agree with an astute friend’s observation: “Elected officials tend to treat other elected officials as peers. They tend to treat appointed officials as staff.” McIntyre owes his job to an elected school board that must go hat in hand to County Commission for funding because it has no taxing authority. I’m not sure how this system was supposed to work in theory, but in practice, it just flat doesn’t. Maybe giving the school board the power to levy taxes would change the dynamic. Maybe it wouldn’t. Or maybe going back to electing a superintendent would set in motion a natural-selection process that would produce someone with the chops to raise money and/or hell, as needed. I’m halfway there.

from his holster aimed squarely at Big Mac’s belly button. But, being a fair man, he stopped before squeezing the trigger as he watched Big Mac struggle unsuccessfully to pull out his own gun. “Now what?” the frustrated sheriff asked. Red-faced, Big Mac replied: “It’s the doggone Common Core. I have to conceptualize all the steps involved in pulling the gun from the holster. I know engineers who can’t do it.” “Common Core? As my Daddy would say, here’s something from the Marine Corps!” With that, the sheriff blazed away with his custom 10-shooter and Big Mac and his posse bit the dust. Moral: Never take Common Core to a gunfight with the Marine Corps.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • AUGUST 27, 2014 • A-5

Party affiliation all that matters in local races affiliation matters on the bench, but Knox County voters apparently do believe party affiliation matters. Few voters have ever appeared in court before Chancellor Fansler or Judge Wimberly, but nearly every voter has some opinion on the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. In fact, for many voters, party affiliation is the only qualification that matters. In today’s hyper-partisan political climate, Republican voters in a Republican county are going to vote for a Republican judge. For many, if a judge chooses to be in the same party as

Barack Obama, then he doesn’t have the good judgment to be a judge in Knox County. As a result of this election, expect calls by Democrats (and some Republicans) for non-partisan judicial races. Of course, Democrats favored partisan judicial races when Democrats could win elections. Now that Democrats can’t win elections with party affiliation listed on the ballot, we must “remove politics from the courtroom.” There’s an old saying that “You can’t win an election if you don’t run.” For local Democrats, the new mantra

has become, “You can’t win if you have a Republican opponent.” There are no longer any countywide elected Democrats in Knox County. A couple of other thoughts on the election: State Democrats have taken comfort in the fact that the Democratic-appointed state Supreme Court members were retained, despite Lt. Gov. Ramsey’s efforts to oust the three remaining Bredesen appointees. It is more likely that the only reason these Supreme Court justices survived is that the state ballots do not list party affiliation beside each justice’s name. The Republican primary

in the 13th legislative district has been decided with Eddie Smith set to take on first-term, incumbent Rep. Gloria Johnson this November. Local Democrats have thus far been confident of Johnson’s re-election chances. To the contrary, expect Eddie Smith to easily defeat Johnson. To use language from the financial sector, November 2014 will be “peak Republican” in Tennessee. If a Republican was ever going to win a seat in Tennessee, it will be in this political climate this November.

decline and the formation of the posse resulted in the creature’s complete disappearance. After that, “big foot” was never seen again. The truth about big foot was finally solved when an ape costume was discovered in a hiding place at the Concord swimming pool. The managing proprietor, Joe Kimsey, son of Knoxville Chief of Police Joe Kimsey Sr., originally obtained the costume to frighten Red Moore and never intended it to go any further than a onetime prank on Red. But when the story began to spread, Joe saw another opportunity to draw people to the park and hopefully increase swimmers at the pool. Joe was always looking for ways to promote the pool, and he immediately recognized that “big foot” could play a major part in his promotion schemes. Joe even allowed for interviews with the press where he claimed to have seen the creature. But when hunting parties were formed, Joe recognized

that he could possibly get shot and that trigger-happy hunters might also shoot someone else. So, big foot disappeared just as quickly as it appeared on that warm summer evening when Red Moore first spotted it on his way home. I don’t remember if the truth ever became public knowledge, or whether the lack of sightings just eventually caused a lack of interest among the public. I do know that gradually the park began to draw lovers back to their old parking spots, but I suspect there was never the feeling of security that existed before big foot. There are just a handful of people left who still remember the “big foot” scare. During summer months, I often worked on weekends at Lakeland Service Center on Concord Road where sportsmen always stopped to fill their outboard fuel tanks and stock their coolers with beer. Almost everyone who came in was interested in big foot, and I was available to provide the latest infor-

mation on sightings. “Have you actually seen the creature?” people would ask. I always answered: “No, but I have friends who have seen it, and they described it as about eight foot tall and said it ran like a man. There would be no way someone could outrun the creature,” I told them. The sightings were very timely since they occurred during a time when stories of big foot sightings spread throughout the nation. I am not sure about the credibility of these sightings, but they created curiosity even among the most skeptical. And our area had a big foot that rivaled even the most credible sightings. Today, when I drive around the park loop and pass those spots where sightings occurred, I chuckle to myself when I recall pointing out those spots to newcomers to the community. But I usually got the same question from them that many of the locals also asked during the scare. “Are you kidding me?”

Democrats, and many well-heeled Republicans, are appalled that voters failed to re-elect two local Democratic judges this month. Chancellor Daryl Fansler had served Knox County for 16 years. Circuit Court Judge Harold Wimberly had been on the bench for 27 years. Both were well regarded by local attorneys and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike for their work. The voters didn’t care and fired both of them on a party-line vote. The outrage from local attorneys and politicos has been as virulent as it has been predictable.

For teenagers growing up in Concord, the park and its environs created a virtual fairyland playground for most of us. It included an Olympic-size public swimming pool and a marina that provided summer employment.

Malcolm Shell

And for those of us old enough to drive, it provided nooks and crannies that became preferred secluded parking spots for lovers. And since the park had its own security patrol, it was also a safe place to park. But in the mid-1950s, it also served as the habitat for an awesome-looking creature that could only be described as “big foot.” The first sighting was by

Many of the local political elite are just plain baffled that the voters would turn out longtenured judges with good reputations for Republican attorneys. Many lawyers and political folks don’t think party

a Concord boat dock employee named “Red” Moore. After that, only the brave ventured into the area to park after dark. Now since Red was known for his tall tales, his sighting was at first considered just another Red Moore tale. But when he was walking home one evening just after sundown, the creature ran across the road just about 20 yards from him. Red shined his flashlight on the creature, and when it stopped and looked at him he ran back into the boat dock hollering: “ape, ape, ape.” When the other boat dock employees saw the pure horror on Red’s face, they began to wonder if there could be a kernel of truth in his story. Red was not the only one who encountered the creature. Cars driving around the park loop often sighted the creature in their headlights running across the

road in front of them. The sightings started to draw increased attention when people with more credibility than Red began reporting sightings. And finally, when park officers reported seeing the creature, big foot’s existence was firmly established. The sightings were reported in local newspapers, and soon people from other areas began to drive through the park hoping to catch sight of the mysterious “big foot.” And for a community where people seldom locked their doors at night, citizens not only began to lock their doors but also loaded their shotguns and kept them handy. Finally, some of Concord’s citizens decided to form a hunting party to scour the park looking in every possible hiding place. And as news of the “posse” grew, other began to join in the search. Surprisingly, public sightings began to

The Clarence Brown Theatre offers up a varied and exciting season.

Photo by photos submitted

The Clarence Brown Theatre: thrills all season long “He-e-ey, good lookin’. Wha-a-a-tcha got cookin’?” My guess is you’re already singing the iconic tune that goes with those words. If you’re a Hank Williams fan – and who isn’t? – you’d better get your tickets now for “Hank Williams: Lost Highway,” the first offering of the Clarence Brown Theater’s 2014-2015 season. Opening night is Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. That’s not far away. A New York Post writer calls the play “The best example of a musician’s bio put on stage that I’ve seen!” CBT department head Calvin MacLean thinks audiences will like it “in a big way. With a five-piece band and a cast that includes pros and some of our most talented students, we think this production will appeal to music fans of all tastes.” And the rest of the season ain’t exactly chopped liver,

Starting Oct. 2, you can see “The Miracle Worker.” Anne Bancroft and 16-yearold Patty Duke had performed the roles of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller on Broadway for nearly two years before the beloved 1962 film was made, which means that they both threw themselves into that knockdown-drag-out dinner table fight every night but Monday and twice on Sundays for a long, long time.

Knoxville favorite Carol Mayo Jenkins stars in “4000 Miles,” the story of a young man who ends up on his grandmother’s West Village, New York, doorstep after losing his best friend on a cross-country bike tour. The New York Times has called this play “a funny, moving, altogether wonderful drama.” Look for it in November.

In “Master Harold and the Boys,” a raging, racist, alcoholic father confronts his white teenage son, who has grown up in the affectionate company of two black waiters employed in his mother’s tearoom. The consequences trigger the son’s inevitable passage into the culture of hatred fostered by apartheid.

He answered, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I go, sirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?â&#x20AC;? They said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first.â&#x20AC;? Jesus said to them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.â&#x20AC;? (Matthew 21: 28-31 NRSV) The early Christian community believed that in Jesus of Nazareth the Christ (or Messiah) was encountered and that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kingdom was made manifest. People could either repent and believe or they could reject it, but regardless of human response, the Kingdom had come. (Jerald C. Brauer, quoted in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A New Handbook of Christian Theologyâ&#x20AC;?) When we really listen to Jesus, we understand why he was crucified: Jesus made some really startling statements! This tiny parable about the son who reneged on his promise to go work in the vineyard is a case in point. The chief priests and elders were the first hearers

(or should I say targets?) of this parable. In their smug self-satisfaction, they were absolutely sure that they were at the top of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good List.â&#x20AC;? They were the ones (they thought) who

In the parable, the first son flatly said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? to the fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. (I am reminded of my days at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Homeâ&#x20AC;? when one of our delinquents would say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gonna, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make me!â&#x20AC;?) That son thought better of his recalcitrance, and changed his mind. The second son appeared to be obedient and willing, agreeing with alacrity, but in actual practice, he failed to do the will of his father.

If that doesn’t make a parent feel great, I’m not sure what would.

The plan is a set of expectations for the entire school and includes being respectful, being responsible, being safe and being ready to learn.

Following the meeting students were able to show parents their classroom and they were able to meet teachers.

Front Porch Restaurant coming to Powell ‘Southern cooking with a kick’

Peggy Arnold: one of a kind Nobody in Halls made me laugh as much as Peggy Arnold. She died Aug. 13 at age 82. A former Halls Woman of the Year, Peggy was involved in so many projects it is hard to list them all. She and husband Charles were founders and early leaders of the Halls Community Park. Rather than waiting for Knox Peggy Arnold County, the residents simply created a youth sports park, built a recreation center with swimming pool and paid for it all by selling hot dogs. A few years back, Jake Mabe and I invited Peggy and Ethyl Shrader to lunch at the Bel Air Grill. Both brought scrapbooks and many memories of those early years. Families became lifelong friends, sharing hard work at the park. Peggy said she couldn’t say how many suppers of hot dogs she had eaten. Peggy founded the Halls Toys for Christmas project, now operated by the folks at Commercial Bank. Peggy’s plan was to provide white socks to needy kids and nobody dared tell her kids were not wearing many white socks these days. They just dutifully packed a couple of pairs into each Christmas package. After a while, even Peggy caught the joke. But she would yell every year

By Cindy Taylor Get excited! Get very excited! Bart and Cindy Elkins purchased their dream home a few months ago and are willing to share it with the community! The visionary entrepreneur minister (Bart), the self-appointed Internet queen of the south (Cindy), an executive chef and a resident crafter will soon be open for business. At 104-years-old the former Gill home, now owned by the Elkinses, is an icon in Powell and one of the oldest structures in the area. The converted Front Porch Restaurant and Primitive Shop will be located in the home. Maintaining the integrity of the house was primary. Much of the original woodwork, flooring, doors, hardware and fi xtures are being used or repurposed thanks to careful renovations by the previous owner and by the Elkinses. The couple and their two daughters moved here from West Virginia. Cinnamon Kennedy, who owns Sweet Café in Clinton, is the executive chef for The Front Porch. “We will have a southern gourmet menu that is upscale without being The Elkins family at the Front stuffy,” said Kennedy. “Southern style Porch Restaurant: Anna Grace, with a kick. We want to feed people 10, Sunny Day, 8, Cindy and Bart. plus give them a wonderful experience.” The Elkinses are hiring at 1509 W. Emory Road on Thursdays and Fridays 3-5 p.m. until 15 positions are filled. Info: 859-9260.

Sandra Clark when I arrived to take a picture: “Here, come here and take a picture of these socks!” Volunteers were often members of Peggy’s family. She had raised them right. Peggy also worked with the late Willard and Kate Hutchison, Joe Smelser, Katie Munsey and others to distribute food at holidays. She pushed for construction of the Halls Senior Center, and she was an avid advocate for senior dances. Peggy’s kids and grand kids will miss her, but all should know that Halls Crossroads is a better place because Peggy Sue Arnold chose to live here. Let’s all go dance in white socks! ■

against Utah State. The season opener, an unusual Sunday showing for the Volunteer team, will be broadcast on the new SEC network at 7 p.m. Jones, whose voice was still hoarse from training camp, is in his second year as head coach. The gameday atmosphere of that open practice helped players better understand what to expect during an actual game. Jones recounted hearing a player say prior to the practice that the crowd would

be the largest he had ever played for. “It opens their eyes a lot to what they represent,” said Jones. Many players made positive changes over the summer, and the skill level is the area of biggest improvement, Jones said. He is also proud of the academic changes that have taken place. The freshmen this summer had a 3.3 GPA. The team had a 96 percent graduation rate and 14 players on this team are college graduates. Only one player didn’t graduate, but he is playing for the Oakland Raiders and working to ﬁnish his degree.

Moon manages more than money By Betty Bean â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go fishing, use bait that fish like. â&#x20AC;Ś Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you put pizza on your hook? Because fish like worms more than they like pizza. If you want to attract another person or get their attention, think about what that person might like. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably different from your favorite things. People are different from fish. And they are often different from each other, too.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 11 devotional, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoughts are Things,â&#x20AC;? daily devotional readings for children by David Moon He grew up in George Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alabama and had a picture of Richard Nixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oval Office on the back of his bedroom door. His grandmother dated Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor governor, Big Jim Folsom, whom Moon describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;not quite a benevolent dictator, but as honest as you could be as an executive politician in the South in the 1950s.â&#x20AC;? He remembers crying the day Nixon resigned. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow up wealthy, and learned the value of a dollar chopping cotton. By his senior year at Hazel Green High School, he knew he was going to leave. At 6-5 and 260 pounds, he was a highly recruited football player and valedictorian of the HGHS Class of 1981. He could have played on anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, but wanted to come to Tennessee. There was just one obstacle in the way: He dreaded saying no to Bear Bryant. His uncle Byrd Williams had played on two national championship teams at Alabama, and it was assumed that Moon, whose parents lived on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa when he was born, would opt to join the Crimson Tide. When he was 10 years old, he got Bryant to autograph a book, and told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to play for you one day.â&#x20AC;? So when his Uncle told him he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Tennessee until he informed Coach Bryant of his intentions face-to-face, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it was easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so nervous I teared up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The week of Thanksgiving 1980, which was the week of the Alabama/Auburn game, Coach Bryant was at practice, and I spent most of practice with him. We had dinner afterward, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Byrd tells me you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a decision.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coach, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go to Tennes-

see.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Bryant took the news with his typical aplomb, but later that day, Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator, Knoxville native Ken Donahue told Moon heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never beat Alabama at Tennessee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went 3-1 against Alabama when I was there. When Coach Majors hired (Donahue) in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;85, I reminded him of that,â&#x20AC;? Moon said. Moon came to Knoxville in the summer of 1981 to play football for Johnny Majors and has called it home ever since. He played on Phillip Fulmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line and was named the senior male athlete with the

highest grade point average in 1984. He says he won his wife, Sien (pronounced Shawn), in a card game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her brother was a waiter at Gibbs Hall, and brought her to Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, on the Strip, where a bunch of us were playing cards. We were all interested in making her acquaintance, so we cut the cards. I cheated and got first shot,â&#x20AC;? he said. His intention when he arrived at UT was to sign with the NFL after graduation, move to New York and eventually become a rich money manager. But two ACL tears made him rearrange his dreams, get an MBA and an early start on the career heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wanted

since his uncle gave him a book written by Warren Buffetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college professor when he was a kid. Today, Moon Capital Management, which manages money for individuals, corporations and nonprofits, occupies a comfortable suite in Riverview Tower. The firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has a tall desk that holds a bank of computer screens and a floor-toceiling glass window that frames a spectacular view of the spot where the Holston and French Broad meet to form the Tennessee River and the rolling hills beyond. He can see a bit of his farm on the bank of the Holston. It takes him nine minutes to get to work by car, or 15 by pontoon boat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go out and meet with the management of companies. I sit around and read stock annual reports all day,â&#x20AC;? Moon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have someone who does financial planning and an ex-manager of a local UBS office who works with clients. I have another guy I feed raw meat and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let him out of the room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just pay him to think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes us different: every stock we buy for our clients, we buy for ourselves, and not just a little bit. Every bit of my liquid net worth is invested in the same stock portfolio as our clients own. And I sleep with my most important client â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we manage my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IRA.â&#x20AC;? Moon has written for many publications and has a regular column on the business page of the daily paper. His most recent project, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoughts are Things,â&#x20AC;? is a selfpublished book of inspirational daily devotionals for children that began as short messages heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave for his twins, Wheeler and Bethany, now 14, who were still in bed when he left for work in the mornings. After collecting a couple of yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of aphorisms, he decided to compile them into a book with a thought for every day of the year. Edited by Bill Rukeyser and illustrated with line drawings by a pair of Albanian sisters, Bora and Jona Shehu. The bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success has shocked him, although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure exactly how many he has sold. He was even more shocked to learn that his book has been named Best Juvenile Inspirational Book 2014 by Independent Publishers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was good. Ruykeyser said it was good, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been received in ways and places I never anticipated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool, sophomoric as that sounds.â&#x20AC;?

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Farragut woman finds help close to home After years of lower back and leg pain, Imogene Ford of Farragut began to rethink her attitude about surgery. “I wanted to avoid surgery because I’ve had some bad experiences,” she said. But the pain in her back and legs was not getting better with medication, and in fact it grew worse as the years went on. “The pain was persistent,” Ford said. “I wore a (pain medication) patch, and I had taken hydrocodone. But it had gotten so it was difﬁcult to walk, and I was just in constant pain.” So she began to think about surgery. Three different friends of hers recommended she see Dr. William Reid, a neurosurgeon at the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I am just so glad my friends recommended I go see him,” she said. Ford ﬁrst saw Dr. Reid in May 2014, and he diagnosed her problem as spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal column. It’s caused typically by the bones in the spine developing arthritis, bone spurs and spinal instability that narrow the passage through the middle of the spine. This, in turn, puts pressure on the spinal cord or the nerves extending out from it to the rest of the body. Dr. Reid recommended a procedure called minimally invasive

lumbar fusion and laminectomy. “He told me it was a little risky and it was serious,” she said. “I would like to have avoided it, but I didn’t really have a choice if I wanted to walk.” During a laminectomy, the back portion (called the lamina) of one or more vertebrae is removed, re-

lieving the pressure on the nearby nerves. Often the remaining vertebrae must be stabilized by fusing them together with special implants to provide stability. While this is a major surgery, at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center it can be done with minimally invasive techniques. This

Part of Dr. Brown’s decision to practice medicine in Knoxville is that he knew Dr. Joel Norman from the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute. “We were in residency together, so much of our training was similar. It’s now easy for us to provide crossover care of our patients,” said Dr. Brown. “I also like Knoxville beDr. Barrett Brown cause there are so many outdoor activities here, like the spinal stenosis. lakes and hiking.” In addition The Center for Minimally to those hobbies, Dr. Brown Invasive Spine Surgery focuses enjoys SCUBA diving and aviaon the treatment of spinal dis- tion. orders using cutting edge technologies, including 3-D image For more information about guidance for precise placement the physicians at the Center for of spinal implants.

NEW RELIEF Fort Sanders Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

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

Dr. Barrett Brown, a neurosurgeon, has recently joined the Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and the practice of Tennessee Brain and Spine. Originally from Elkton, Ky., Dr. Brown attended the University of Kentucky School of Medicine in Lexington, where he completed a residency in neurosurgery. “Growing up, my parents had a small cattle farm,” Dr. Brown said. “We raised a few head of cattle and had a horse, so at first I wanted to be a veterinarian. But in college I shadowed physicians in a hospital, watched surgeries and became very interested in medicine instead.” Dr. Brown is joining Dr. William S. Reid and Dr. Joel E. Norman at Tennessee Brain and Spine. Their practice treats patients with a wide range of brain and spine disorders including brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke, herniated discs and

often means smaller incisions and less trauma to the surrounding tissue so that recovery times are quicker and complications are fewer for the patient. Ford had surgery July 3, 2014. She spent a total of three days at Fort Sanders. Even though it was a holiday weekend, she said the staff was very attentive. “I had a very good experience at Fort Sanders,” she said. “I had the very best of care around the clock, for a day and a half, in intensive care. The care was exceptional. “I just felt that they are top notch in their job, very professional, and you never had to ring for anybody. The RN checked me every four hours, and the LPN and CNA looked in on me so frequently. I cannot complain at all.” And best of all, Ford said the surgery has relieved her pain. “I have not had any back pain at all since surgery,” said Ford. “When I ﬁrst got home for a couple of nights, I had pain in my legs, but I have never had pain in my back. “Dr. Reid advised me to begin simple exercises, and I have found a sit-down, mild yoga class at the YMCA,” she said. Ford said she would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Dr. Reid to anyone facing a back surgery. “This has changed my attitude about hospitals altogether!” she said, “And for all I’m concerned, I think Dr. Reid hung the moon.”

South-Doyle, Joc Bruce face first test at Heritage

Upcoming Friday Games start at 7:30 p.m. Austin-East at Anderson County Bearden at Fulton Carter vs. Cocke County Central at Jefferson County Farragut at Oak Ridge Grace Academy at Kingston Gibbs vs. Grainger County Halls vs. Union County Hardin Valley Academy at Karns Knoxville Catholic at Coalfield Knoxville Webb at Baylor Powell vs. CAK South-Doyle at Heritage West: Open

In his sixth season as head coach at South-Doyle, Clark Duncan has the Cherokees poised to contend for a state title. Heritage has turned a lot of heads during the run up to the 2014 season, most notably a 13-6 win over defending Class 3A state champion Alcoa at the Blount County jamboree. In his third season, Tim Hammontree has mde the Mountaineers a real threat. The Aug. 29 game is the season opener for both teams, and there’s a lot of potential momentum riding on this one at Heritage. Last season: SouthDoyle (7-5), Heritage (1-9) Last meeting: SouthDoyle 26, Heritage 7 The offenses: The Cherokees, with a wealth of backfield horsepower, run largely out of the option. The Mountaineers oper-

7-5 and a minor bowl bid Even if you know almost nothing about Tennessee football, it is time for predictions. As a longstanding realist, I say 7-5 and an invitation to a minor bowl would be progress. Anything more would be cause for celebration and raises all around. Anything less than 6-6 would be serious. The Volunteers cannot afford to get stuck in reverse and dump a bunch of bricks. We have excuses: Young team, tough schedule, inexperienced linemen. We have reasons to expect more than last year: Improved speed. Money, whatever it took for all the show-and-tell Butch Jones could think of as enhancements, from gray

uniforms to inspirational speakers to stadium disc jockey. Travel allowance was essentially unlimited, enough to go anywhere as many times as the law allows. This combination, in the hands of sales professionals, produced significant recruiting success. Development is a reasonable next step for a secondseason coaching staff paid at a championship level. Culture change, account-

ability, internal leadership, faith in the future should pay preliminary dividends. I have heard the expectations of joyous optimists and their opposites, those who concede that Vanderbilt has passed Tennessee. Predictions range from 4-8 to 9-3. I have tallied a hundred or more. The average might be a break-even season. Confidence suffered a setback when CBS Sports.com checked in. The network televises a game of the week from the SEC. That qualifies all staffers as insightful. Their opinion is Tennessee does not yet have it. Butch got one vote for coach of the year and Tennessee got one vote for fourth place in the SEC East, several for fifth

ate out of the spread and aren’t afraid to empty the backfield. The defenses: SouthDoyle employs the versatile 4-3 to slow opponents. Heritage, with depth at linebacker, goes with a 3-5 as its stop unit. The Breakdown: South-Doyle won last time, and the Cherokees return a big-time running game. Tennessee commitment Joc Bruce is the real deal. A 2,000-yard back last season, Bruce paced a backfield that taxed opponents for better than 4,000 yards in a second-round playoff run for the Cherokees.

The trio of QB Brody Rollins and backs Malik Lundy and Bruce can be lethal. There’s a buzz at Heritage this season. Fullback Orlando Bledsoe emerged as a player to watch in 2013. For 2014, the Mountaineers have added a passing game that’s really opened up the offense. Junior quarterback Dustin Richardson is unique. Including the win over the Tornadoes, Richardson has four touchdown throws of better than 30 yards during preseason. Devin Harris, Devin Gardner, Kahlil Abuhania, Hunter Terry and Riley Hill have proven reliable targets. Why this intrigues: If the Cherokees can control the game on the ground – and with Bruce, they’re certainly capable – it’s advantage South-Doyle.

and one for sixth. The CBS all-SEC team does not mention Tennessee, not even A.J. Johnson, labeled an all-American by local enthusiasts. Gambling guru Danny Sheridan thankfully left the Vols off his list of 10 worst teams in the country but awarded “honorable mention.” USAToday/Coaches poll was not particularly comforting. Fifty-one teams received votes. Tennessee did not. SEC sports information directors said the Vols will finish 11th in the league. SEC media said 12th. Paul Finebaum, godfather of the new SEC Network, was alarming. He said fans should not concern themselves with the Oklahoma horror chamber. Of greater concern is the opener against Utah State.

Oh my. Forecasting is simple if you accept this vision: Utah State, Chattanooga, Arkansas State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are need-to-be victories. Missouri, Florida and Ole Miss are possible upsets. Georgia and South Carolina are unlikely. Oklahoma and Alabama are more unlikely. A fan who said “eight is enough” is betting on nine. She picked the Vols to win the opener and move boldly past everybody except the Sooners, Crimson Tide and Gamecocks. One reaction to that forecast: “Nobody in touch with reality would pick this Tennessee team to win three SEC road games.” Several paid to predict have Georgia winning the SEC title. Great running backs do make a difference.

Stefan Cooper

There’s only so much time in a game, and if the Cherokees can control the ball and the clock, it’s easy math. But South-Doyle needs to score. Heritage can really throw the ball. The jamboree quarter with Alcoa was no fluke. Starters for both teams played to the horn. The passing game doesn’t need as much time to put points on the board. And there’s the hard-running Bledsoe to eat clock if Heritage gets the lead. It’s always interesting when a running team and one more so oriented around the passing game collide. The future Vol Bruce really spices this one up and could very well decide it. Stefan Cooper is the founder and editor of the Blount Press Row website and will be previewing a Knox County game for Shopper-News each week this season.

Mississippi has a very good quarterback and is listed among the most underrated teams in the country. The Vols project as seven-point underdogs in Oxford. The 6-6 consensus counts three non-conference victories and a strong November. That would mean an ugly six out of seven setbacks with only Chattanooga to break up the losing streak. Vol fans may learn to appreciate open dates. This is not part of predictions but the opener is critical. Utah State has a busy-body quarterback. I am not convinced Tennessee has learned to contain quarterbacks who run. I am not sure it can disrupt quarterbacks who throw. I am sure the Volunteers must win the first one. Must-must-must.

It’s not a true football game if fans aren’t painted up, wear crazy hats and work hard to distract the opposing team.

Gibbs wins opener By Ruth White There is someone about being at a football stadium in East Tennessee on Friday (and sometimes Thursday) night. The air feels electric as the team, band, parents and fans file in to grab the best seats. Many are there to watch what they hope will be a great game of football, but others come to meet up with friends, watch a family member in the band or on the sidelines cheering for their team. Gibbs topped Carter 1613 in a Thursday night rivalry thriller. Shopper-News photographers will be out at games this fall and plan to capture the essence of what brings people to the field week after week, in the sweltering heat or the freezing cold.

Spencer Dalton warms up in the end zone and prepares to head on to the field with the Gibbs High marching band.

The Gibbs Eagle cruises through the stands spreading school spirit and posing for an occasional photo.

Summer Wagner painted a tank top to show her Eagle spirit and to support her brother who is in the GHS marching band.

Fun at the History Fair Union County was wellrepresented at the East Tennessee History Fair held in downtown Knoxville. Front and center in Krutch Park, Wanda Byerley and Martha Carter displayed books and journals on Union County history, with hundreds stopping by to dig into their genealogy and remember their times in the county. Hollie Cook at the Knox Heritage table says she visited Maynardville earlier in the week in preparation for a walking tour of the history of the area.
