Few names are more beloved in East Tennessee than Bill Landry, longtime host of WBIR’s “The Heartland Series.” Also an author, playwright and actor, this guardian of all things Appalachia will visit the Union County Heritage Festival Saturday, Oct. 3, in Maynardville. Landry will regale festival-goers with tales from Union County’s past at the Back When booth 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., then proceed to the Union County Arts Center, his first visit to the gallery. Union County Heritage Festival president Marilyn Toppins said this year’s festival is not one to miss. Spread throughout downtown Maynardville from Wilson Park to the courthouse, bus transportation around the festival’s locations will be provided. “It couldn’t have come together better,” she said. This year’s theme is Thunder Road, as reflected in the Heritage Print by Betty Bullen. “There will be lots of Thunder Road items that people will want to see,” said Toppins. “If you are interested in the history of racing, running whiskey or moonshine, this is the year to come to the festival.” “Little” Bill Corum will join Landry in the Back When booth to talk about “souping up” race cars, and he’ll even bring his first trophy. Toppins said the festival has “stepped up” its musical game

Festival print features Thunder Road thanks to the work of Jim Woods. This year’s artists include those who grew up in Union County and have made it big on the national stage, including singer/songwriter Craig Monday, who will perform at 11:45 a.m. Also new this year will be the Thunder Road Photography Show 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Union County Chamber of Commerce Office on Main Street. Old favorites will return to this year’s festival, including the Heritage Olympics at 2:30 p.m. Contestants will vie for prizes in the Haybale Toss, Cast Iron Skillet

The 2015 Union County Heritage Festival collectible print has been unveiled. The print, signed and numbered by Betty Bullen, features a 1950 Fort “sitting low,” laden with moonshine on its way down Thunder Road, Highway 33 through Union County. Prints will be available for purchase at the festival Saturday, Oct. 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or while supplies last. The prints are $20, and all of the proceeds will go to the Heritage Festival. Info: Union County Arts, 992-9161.

Throw and more. Toppins said the annual quilt show at the Union County Museum and Library will be spectacular this year, and the kids area will feature inflatables, super bubbles, a train, cornhole and facepainting. Of course, food and arts and

crafts vendors will be available, with many new to the festival. “Probably 25 to 30 percent of our vendors haven’t been here before,” said Toppins. For a full schedule of events and musical guests, visit www. unioncountyheritagefestival.com

State says help ahead for East Towne merchants By Betty Bean An overflow crowd showed up for last week’s Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood Association meeting to hear the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s plans to improve traffic flow in the East Towne area (and yes, not once during the hour-long presentation did anyone call it by its official name, Knoxville Center). For the TDOT engineers, the emphasis was safety and traffic flow. For the members of the East Towne Business Alliance and the numerous elected officials there, the primary concern was visibility. Steve Borden, Region 1 director/assistant chief engineer; Nathan Vatter, engineer; and Danny Oliver, development director, outlined plans to ease bumper-tobumper traffic on Millertown and

Washington pikes, beginning with improvements on Washington Pike at North Mall Road, Washington Pike at South Mall Road and Millertown Pike at South Mall Road. The tab for these projects is $571,000. A ramp queue extension and enlargement at I-640’s Exit 8 on Millertown Pike will bring the estimated cost up to $1.6 million. The merchants and business people present were glad to hear about plans to reduce traffic congestion and boost safety, but they also wanted to be heard about other concerns – visibility and accessibility – so they welcomed news that the East Towne trade area will become the first urban area to participate in the state logo program, sometime in 2016. They would also like to see more action from the city in clearing roadside brush and overgrowth.

Preliminary work should start this fall, with bids to be let in 2016. The projects will be expedited because no right-of-way acquisition is necessary. The ramp queue construction will come first. Another item on the East Towne boosters’ wish list – a “second chance” exit – is not in the budget for the foreseeable future, the state officials said. Fourth District City Council representative Nick Della Volpe told the crowd that TDOT is facing a $6.1 billion project backlog. East Towne Business Alliance president Justin Sterling was happy to hear about the promised changes but said that visibility and accessibility will be crucial to the trade area’s growth. “Imagine you’re in the car headed westbound on I-640 and you want to shop at Target (on Washington Pike) – there’s no sign that

you have to get off at Exit 8. And if you miss that exist going east you have to go to Asheville Highway (and turn around).” “In terms of growing a business along that trade area, they’ve got to expose themselves to that I-640 traffic.” Knoxville Center (aka East Towne Mall) is no longer owned and operated by Simon Properties. Della Volpe has written Michael Glimcher, CEO of new mall operator W.P. Glimcher, urging him to pay more attention to East Towne than did Simon. “We have been working with the state Department of Transportation to do some road improvements … and improve visibility of the business district from the interstate. We need Glimcher to step up as well,” he said. A 142-page TDOT document with maps is posted on the ShopperNewsNow.com website.

Duncan law school on the move with Wade By Bill Dockery A new yardman showed up for work a couple of weeks ago at the John J. Duncan School of Law. The white-haired worker wasn’t on the payroll when he arrived on a Saturday and began to clear away shrubs that hid the front of the school’s historic building at the intersection of Summit Hill, Western and Henley streets in Knoxville. “We have a historic facility and grounds,” said Gary Wade, the school’s new dean and a recently retired member of the Tennessee Supreme Court, “but that takes second place to an administration

that is investing in curriculum and faculty and staff.” So Wade assembled a crew who tackled overgrowth along the walls at the front of the campus. “As a Sevier Countian, I know the importance of curb appeal,” he said. “I want people to be able to see the school from the street.” Gary Wade The act was an early indicator of the attention Wade is paying to his new job as dean and vice president of Lincoln

Memorial University’s law school. With 28 years in the state’s judiciary and well more than 2,000 written decisions in the record, he said he feels that a practice-focused academic position is a good fit for his experience and talents. “It’s easy for me to embrace the mission of the school,” Wade said. “A lot of people who would get law degrees and make great country lawyers can’t meet the admission criteria of UT.” He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and its College of Law. “For those who are place-bound in East Tennessee and Southern Appalachia, Duncan is a great al-

ternative. Students who are willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to the profession can find a place here.” The school is experiencing a surge in admissions. It opened in 2009, but the American Bar Association initially denied it accreditation. LMU appealed numerous times and even sued the ABA unsuccessfully. In December 2014, the ABA relented and gave the school a three-year provisional accreditation. The fall 2015 enrollment increased to around 100, with half being first-year students. To page A-3

The Hat Lady is coming By Cindy Taylor Singer Lillie Knauls is coming to Sharon Baptist Church Sunday, Oct. 4. Knauls won a Dove award in 2007 for her album “Past and Present” and has performed on the Gaither Homecoming shows. “Miss Lillie has visited and sung at Sharon before,” said Sharon music director Ben Burnette. “She called to ask if she could be a part of our Oct. 4 worship services while she is in town.” Knauls, who lives in California, is not in town very often but will be singing in Pigeon Forge for the National Quartet Convention the first week of October. She is known for singing her prayers. “Worship is a vital part of my prayer time,” said Knauls. “At some point during that time I will sing a prayer to my Savior. Most

Lillie Knauls sports one of her many hats. Photo submitted often it is a song I sang on my first record in 1975.” Knauls has been in fulltime ministry since she retired from the phone company in 1978. She keeps churches on her schedule as integral stops on her tours. She also writes for the Gaither’s Homecoming magazine.

Now in her 70s, Knauls has been singing professionally for 40 years. She has served as an ordained minister since 2005. She says this allows her easier access to prisons and hospitals to share the good news of the gospel. She refers to herself as a “Musicianary.” Knauls will sing during the morning worship service at Sharon Oct. 4 and will hold a special concert that evening at 6 p.m. at the church. The event is free and is being held for the benefit of the community. Both morning and evening services will be in the gym due to ongoing construction in the sanctuary. A love offering for Knauls will be taken up after the evening service. Sharon Baptist Church is at 7916 Pedigo Road. Info: 938-7075.

Nicholas Gibbs: Community named for patriot By Bonnie Peters I wish copies of “Nicholas Gibbs and His Descendants 1733-1977,” published by the Nicholas Gibbs Historical Society, were still available, but that is not the case. As I understand it, Joe Longmire is now president of the society and is a wonderful source of local history. The Gibbs book is mostly the source of my information. The grandfather of Nicholas Gibbs is said to have left England because of religious and political reasons and to save his head when King Charles I lost his in 1649. He went to Amsterdam, married and never returned to London. They relocated along the Rhine River in Germany, and the Nicholas, son of Nicholas, that came to America was born Sept. 29, 1733, in the village of Wallruth, near the town of Krumbach, Duchy of Baden. Nicholas Gibbs born in Germany had two brothers – Peter and Abraham – and two sisters – Mary and Catherine. Nicholas came to America in 1747 at age 14. Abraham had already relocated to America and settled in Frederickstown, Maryland. Nicholas apparently became upset with his father and left home with only 30 guineas (about $150). When he came to the ship, the ship’s captain told him that amount of money would only pay only half the fare to America. However, he negotiated with the captain to work out the other half. After working out his debt, Nicholas served five years in the French & Indian War. During that time of his service, his brother Abraham heard about him and sought to see him. Nicholas did not recall ever having seen Abraham, but his mother told him how to recognize Abraham by a scar or spot on Abraham’s head. Sure enough, he was able to recognize Abraham

by his mother’s description, accepted him as his brother and moved near Abraham in Frederickstown. Legend has it that Nicholas didn’t care much for Abraham’s wife, left Maryland and settled in Orange County, N. C., where he married Mary Ephland. Some of their children were grown and married before Nicholas and Mary’s move to Tennessee. Nicholas sold his property in Orange County on Oct. 12, 1791, to Obed Green. Daughter Catherine married John Holmes on Oct. 17, 1791, and it is believed that shortly after her marriage the Gibbs family moved to East Tennessee and settled in what is now Knox County. Their old home is still standing and maintained on Emory Road near Harbison’s Crossroads [2015]. According to Tennessee records, Nicholas bought 450 acres in Hawkins County on March 6, 1792, for 200 pounds “including Beaver Dam Fork on Beaver Creek.” This section of Hawkins County became Knox County on June 11, 1792, when Gov. William Blount issued an ordinance re-defining the lines of Greene and Hawkins counties and establishing Knox and Jefferson counties. On July 18, 1792, [Good-

Duncan school Wade said his own smalltown background has prepared him for his role at Duncan. He grew up in Sevierville where his father owned and ran a small department store in the downtown, and Wade clerked there as he grew up. Later, when he returned home to practice law, he would serve 10 years as the town’s unpaid mayor. He was appointed to the state Court of Criminal Appeals in 1987. In 2006 thenGov. Phil Bredesen named him to the state Supreme Court. His 2014 retention election is still fresh on Wade’s mind. Thanks to opposition from ultra-partisan Repub-

speed’s History of Tennessee, p. 810], the first court in Knox County was held by James White and others. On April 25, 1796, the first county court was begun and Nicholas Gibbs became a justice of the peace, commissioned by the governor. On April 25, 1796, Nicholas Gibbs was given a grant of 100 acres on Beaver Dam Creek for “services in the Continental Line” [Land Grant Records, Raleigh, North Carolina, Book 88, Page 193, Grant 257, dated March 7, 1796]. This grant is also recorded in Knox County, Tennessee Book B, No. 2, Register of Deeds office, and his name appears on the Knox County roll of Revolutionary War soldiers as having participated in the Battle of King’s Mountain [North Carolina soldiers in the Revolution]. Nicholas died in 1817. Mary Ephland Gibbs was born in 1739 and died in 1834. Both are buried in the historic Perry-Gibbs Cemetery, which hopefully can one day be restored. When this cemetery was established it is believed to have been inside Reynolds Fort. In 1915 a stone was placed here for Nicholas and Mary by their descendants. Additional stones were placed some years later.

From page A-1 lican interests, Wade was forced to campaign. He took the effort to unseat him as a challenge to the nonpartisan tradition of the state judicial system and won reelection, with the two other challenged judges. “As outgoing chief justice, I was the figurehead leader of bench and bar, and I had to take on this unwarranted attack on the integrity of the court,” he said. Earlier this summer he examined his interest in retiring from the court and decided that the Duncan deanship offered him a new way to serve. “We have an excellent youthful and energetic fac-

ulty. I’m impressed by their dedication to the profession and to the students.” Recent pass/fail statistics for the state bar exam show that Duncan graduates pass at rates that are exceeded only by law schools at Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee. The LMU school offers a bar review course and individual mentoring for graduates facing the milestone exam. Even if it involves a little yard work – which he said he finds relaxing – Wade said he is approaching the deanship as the capstone of his professional career. “I am dedicated to having a happy ending.”

Rivalries and half-rivalries Football is a strange game. It consumes us, burns so much energy and creates great, good, bad and awful memories. Rivalries are the by-product. In fact, there are far more half-rivalries than the real thing. Tennessee and Alabama are traditional foes to those who know why the UT stadium is named Neyland. The game matters more to the Vols. On the Tide radar, Auburn is 365 forever in focus, front and center. Trash talk fuels fireworks. Tennessee and Florida are blood rivals to those who were just learning to count about the time the Gators discovered domination. There was a time when

Marvin West

Kentucky regarded Tennessee as its bowl game, the late November opportunity to save a season. It appears Louisville has replaced us in importance. Tennessee claims Georgia as a rival because UT coaches spend significant recruiting time and money in the neighboring state. Georgia is far more emotionally involved with Florida, Auburn and perhaps Georgia Tech. Tennessee and Vander-

bilt might be genuine rivals if they had a few similarities. Vandy is from a different planet. Tennessee and Arkansas are not rivals but they are forever linked by tidbits. First: An Arkansas fumble turned into one of the biggest plays in Tennessee football history. The Vols trailed throughout a rainy afternoon, Nov. 14, 1998. Razorbacks were running out the clock. Defensive tackle Billy Ratliff knocked offensive guard Brandon Burlsworth back a step, into the path of Clint Stoerner. The quarterback stumbled, attempted to brace his fall with the hand that held the ball, and fumbled. Ratliff recovered. In the

Maybe next month. But probably next year, same as I always say.

moments that followed, Travis Henry became a legendary running back. Tennessee won – the game and, eventually, the national championship. Second: The 1971 Liberty Bowl had a controversial finish. Arkansas was obviously winning. It led 13-7 and kicked what appeared to be the clinching field goal with 5:45 to go. Flag down, no goal, big, bad Razorback caught holding. “It’s very rare that you get a holding call on fieldgoal protection,” said coach Frank Broyles. That flag was nothing compared to what happened later. Conrad Graham walloped Jon Richardson after a screen pass. Jon fumbled. An Arkansas guy fell right

on the ball. Tennessee defensive end Carl Johnson said it was obvious. Hmmm, maybe not. The ball was visible long enough to attract a considerable crowd. Bodies were stacked on top of bodies. No telling what all went on down near the ground. Every Volunteer not preoccupied in the melee helped officiate. In perfect unison, players, coaches, managers, trainers, cheerleaders and Smokey pointed toward the Arkansas goal and proclaimed “Our ball!” Arkansas partisans blamed Preston Watts, a man in a striped shirt, for the real turmoil. They insist that Razorback guard Tom Reed came out of the pile with the ball and handed it to the SEC official, who promptly awarded possession to Tennessee. Tennessee fullback Curt

Watson scored the winning touchdown. My favorite Arkansas connection, a Civil War type, still isn’t over it. “Forget hell.” Third: There are several other Tennessee-Arkansas connections. My choice? ExVol all-American Bowden Wyatt was a winning coach at Arkansas. Fans gave him a big white Cadillac and considerable gas money, the perfect combo for his return to Tennessee. John Majors coached at Arkansas. Doug Dickey was an Arkansas assistant before he was head coach at Tennessee. UT athletic director Bob Woodruff ate a lot of catfish at Arkansas cookouts. Razorbacks have no valid reason to be disturbed about that. There was some left over. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Campaign finance then and now I don’t know Megan Barry, but I’m proud that she won election as Nashville’s first female mayor. It’s been 95 years now since women won the right to vote. Youngsters need to be reminded. It’s been 43 years since I won election as state representative from District 16. During that campaign I got a check for $50 from a woman in Nashville that I’d never met or heard of. So when I got to Nashville, I phoned her and went by her office to say thanks. Osta Underwood was an early female lawyer (who made a career in insurance after no law firm would hire her) and an early proponent of women’s rights. She never said whether she was a Republican or a Democrat, and I never asked. As I left, she quoted an Irish blessing:

Sandra Clark

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. I never saw or talked with Osta Underwood again. I’m tempted to send these words and $50 to Megan Barry. After all, we trailblazers have to stick together.

Big bucks: That $50 was among the top five contributions I received in that first election. Money comes to a winner; not so much to an upstart challenger. My biggest Halls area donor was Bob Temple. I remember asking him where he worked. He explained he was a self-employed homebuilder. That was my first inkling that we didn’t have to work for somebody else. That lesson stuck. Bill and Ann Walkup sent $25. He was president of the Home Federal Bank where my dad worked. In a frenzied, self-managed campaign financed chiefly by personal credit card, I mislaid the check. For months afterwards, Mr. Walkup would mention it to Dad every time Ann tried to balance their checkbook. Can’t remember if it ever turned up.

Insure Tennessee supporters urge Legislature to close coverage gap Rogero ‘auditions’

Larry Drain and Ronald Tucker are two of some 280,000 Tennesseans who don’t have health insurance. They were left standing in the coverage gap created by the state Legislature’s failure to pass Insure Tennessee.

Betty Bean Drain didn’t mention it when they spoke at the Tennessee Justice Center and Tennessee Health Care Campaign presentation, “Counting the cost: Measuring the impact of the failure to pass Insure Tennessee,” at Mt. Olive Baptist Church last week, but a Google search of his named revealed that he’d achieved near-celebrity status over the past couple of years after telling the story of why he has to live separately from his wife, who suffers from a serious illness. “If we lived together, she’d lose her health insurance. Right now we live 25 miles apart. If there is no Insure TN, I don’t believe we’ll ever live together again,” Drain said. Tucker has done contract work at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Ap-

plied Research for the past 13 years. He’s scheduled to be off for two weeks until a new contract kicks in. He has no health insurance. A month ago, he started having heart trouble. The hospital is working with him on the bill, for which he is grateful, but it’s a constant worry. A week ago, he heard something out in his front yard – it was a neighbor, cutting his grass. “I went out to thank him, and he said, ‘Neighbors help neighbors,’” Tucker said. Health-wise, he’s keeping his fingers crossed. Drain turned 64 the day after the meeting and is in his eighth year without health insurance. He owes around $7,000 for emergency room visits and is looking forward to turning 65 and becoming Medicare eligible. “When you don’t have insurance, you just don’t go to the doctor,” he said. “When you do go, you go to the ER. If I had health insurance, it would have been three to five office visits. When I turn 65, I hope it can happen. All I can do is wait and see, and pray a lot. A whole lot.” Drain and Tucker’s personal stories delivered an emotional wallop, and other speakers – like Rep. Joe Armstrong, Sen. Becky Duncan Massey (one of the

few Republican legislators supporting Insure Tennessee) and Tennova Health Systems vice president Jerry Askew – delivered sobering facts, like reporting that legislators’ refusal to pass Insure Tennessee is costing the state $2.7 million in federal funds daily. Armstrong and Duncan asked Insure Tennessee supporters to make a strong showing in Nashville when the Legislature convenes in January. Askew said Tenno-

va is facing $206 million in uncompensated care unless Insure Tennessee passes. “Our CFO told me that the uninsured pay about 2 cents of every dollar they are charged. They would like to pay, but don’t have it,” he said. “Our hearts are broken.

Schoonmaker stays busy Time flies when you’re having fun, and Knox County Commissioner John Schoonmaker was surprised to realize that more than eight months have passed since he was appointed to fill the Fifth District seat left open when Richard Briggs was elected to the state Senate last November.

County Commissioner John Schoonmaker has been highly visible in the community since taking office in January.

He is having fun. The office has been everything he expected, and more, he says. A steady stream of meetings and events keeps him involved with the community − and learning. Town of Farragut meetings have been especially educational, he says. “I think you have to be out there; otherwise you don’t hear what’s going on.” Schoonmaker is a former president of the Council of

West Knox County Homeowners, and he can remember occasions when he was left in the dark because other members assumed he knew about an issue. He doesn’t want that to happen to anyone else. “I don’t want the community to be left out.” A career change has allowed him to devote plenty of time to his office. Sales work for an optics manufacturer sent him out of town most weekends, but

the company’s focus on overseas markets coincided with his appointment to the commission. He’s not retired, but he’s pleased to have more time to dedicate to community involvement. One of Schoonmaker’s favorite parts of being a commissioner is helping constituents with problems. Because of his experience with the homeowners group, he knows whom to call to get things done. Constituents are sometimes surprised by how quickly things can happen, like a simple road repair, through a phone call to the right person. They might also be surprised by the “fantastic” work of county employees who don’t always get the credit they deserve. He also commends the work of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s office and local state representatives. While CWKCH is known for its vocal opposition to development that negatively impacts neighborhoods, Schoonmaker has to have a different approach as a commissioner. Sometimes,

he has to tell communities that they can’t fight development just because they don’t like it. People have a right to sell their property for development that fits within zoning guidelines, he says. “You can’t fight everything or you’ll lose your credibility.” At the same time, people need to step up when they see things happening that don’t make sense. He feels like he’s been able to effect change by paying close attention to city and county government, and hopes to empower others to do the same. Most citizens don’t get involved unless something impacts their home or school, he says. He has a great relationship with Briggs, who sent him a congratulatory text just two minutes after Schoonmaker’s January appointment. Briggs’ term expires next August, and Schoonmaker has no doubts about pursuing the seat in the March primary. “I sincerely appreciate the opportunity. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

Mayor Rogero became the 5th person in city history yesterday to win a second consecutive four-year term. Others were John Duncan, Randy Tyree, Victor Ashe and Bill Haslam. It remains to be seen if she completes the next four years as mayor as only two of these predecessors actually served the full term. Duncan and Haslam departed early to become a member of Congress and governor respectively. Rogero is the only one of the five mayors to win a second term unopposed, except for a nominal writein candidacy by Jack Knoxville. She also won with the fewest number of votes a winning mayor has received in the past 60 years. Voter turnout was less than 10 percent of all registered voters. Speculation centers on Rogero not completing her term should a Democrat win the White House next year, as she easily may be named to a position in a new federal administration. Clearly, she has been auditioning for such a position for the past four years with her position on climate change, same sex partner benefits and marriage (lighting up the Henley Street Bridge), banning guns at Chilhowee Park, and energetic backing for Obamacare and enrollment. All of this places her on the same page ideologically with national Democrats. She would be an obvious choice for a President Clinton, Sanders or Biden. There are almost no positions she could seek in Tennessee where she would be likely to win. Knox County is so heavily Republican (unlike the city) that she would not win the county mayor’s office. The notion she could win the congressional seat or a race for governor is a fantasy. But Rogero could easily fit in the U.S. Departments of Labor or HUD. Should she accept a federal position (this writer believes she would take it in a heartbeat), it would trigger a special election for mayor as more than 11 months would be left in the mayor’s term. Council would appoint a 90-day mayor. Persons already being mentioned for mayor in 2019 would have to move up their timetable. These include Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis; former Mayor Daniel Brown; Council members George Wallace,

Victor Ashe

Marshall Stair and Duane Grieve; former KCDC president Alvin Nance; and former school board chair Dan Murphy. Interestingly, there are no women being mentioned to follow the first woman elected mayor. However, there are those who feel Carol Evans of Legacy Parks Foundation should consider it. To date she has avoided elective politics. However, if she ran, she would bring new ideas and vision to the contest and has contacts to raise the necessary funds. If anyone doubts that Wallace is running for mayor, that doubt was erased by his recent TV ads on the 6 o’clock news on WBIR (the most expensive television buy) for a race in which he had no opponent. Wallace is emptying his campaign chest. He must run again on Nov. 3, again against no one. While Wallace may deny he has decided to run for mayor, there should be no doubt he wants to run and that is an honorable aspiration. ■ Nashville elected its first woman mayor, Megan Barry, two weeks ago. This was a needed victory for the state Democratic Party where her opponent stressed strongly conservative views. Over $8 million was spent among the seven candidates for mayor. Both parties spent money in this contest – the Democrats for Barry and the Republicans attacking Barry as opposed to backing Fox. Non-partisan municipal elections are best for the people who live in our cities and towns. ■ Council member Marshall Stair is engaged to Natalie Robinson and they plan a December wedding. They got engaged while on a trip to Chicago. She is the controller of JB&B Investments LLC. ■ Friends of Lula Powell, 27-year principal of Green Magnet Academy, will gather Friday, Oct. 2, at the corner of Summit Hill Drive and Lula Powell Drive for the street renaming in her honor. Reception will follow at Beck Cultural Center. Public invited.

The Importance of Your Annual Mammogram

Fire Prevention Family Safety Festival

Breast imaging, or mammography, does not prevent breast cancer, but it does play a critical role in the detection of malignant breast tumors. During your mammogram, your physician will also look for masses or structures that warrant further investigation such as cysts, ﬁbroid lumps and calciﬁcations. Invite a friend, meet us for breakfast and learn the importance of this annual test.

Attend our sixth annual Family Safety Festival and leave with a better understanding of what it takes to keep yourself and your family safe from accidents, ﬁre and injury. The day will include displays and handson activities from over 40 government agencies eager to showcase their skills. We’ll have life-safety demonstrations, heavy ﬁre and rescue vehicles, KPD’s specialized bomb robot, driving/boating simulators and fun activities for children–and it’s all free. Remember, health and safety are your responsibility!

faith Sing to the Lord I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. (Psalm 7: 17 NRSV) The living spirit of any religion shines through most clearly in the hymns by which its adherents bring before God their troubles and fears, their hopes, aspirations, and reasons for confidence. (Introduction to Psalms, The New Oxford Annotated Bible)

David and Gail Witt on location while filming “Forever Changed.”

‘Forever Changed’ By Cindy Taylor Gail Witt passed away with faith that her husband, David, would keep a promise. She had devoted five years of her life to making the film “Forever Changed.” David promised to complete the film and has done that. “I am not the best at marketing,” said David. “I just want to make this DVD available to the people who care.” The idea for a film project first hit Gail when she saw the Christain/Newsom story on the news. She and David were already involved in the film industry. Having been a victim of a crime many years in her past Gail wanted to make the story of these two young people known.

When Gail heard about a scholarship fund set up by the families she thought the film would be a great way to help. She had numerous meetings with the families and received approval for her project. She began working on an outline and the couple got started. The film is about the effects the horrific murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom have had on family, friends and the community. It is centered on the aftershock produced by the violence of the deaths. Gail spent countless hours at the trials and on research and filming. She interacted closely with the families as the project progressed. “Gail wanted these young

DVD jacket cover for “Forever Changed” Photo submitted people to be remembered but she also wanted other young people to be aware of what can happen to anyone at any time,” said David. “That was her purpose in creating this film. She told me that never in her life had she done anything this important. I was very proud of what she was doing and it drew us even closer to each other.” In the summer of 2013 Gail began having low back pain. Within a year she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed March 11, 2014. “It took Gail and me more than 30 years to find each other but we had the best 12 years of our lives together,” said David. “She devoted over five years of her life to this project. Fin-

ishing her work helped me struggle through my own loss. I thank God I was able to hold her as she passed and keep my vow to her. She is in heaven now with those two young people. I take life one day at a time and look to the future.” Gail insisted that 80 percent of the profits from DVD sales go to the Christian/ Newsom Scholarship Fund. The Witts recovered some of their investment and paid the crew, but the DVD was never about profit for Gail. David said it was like God’s hand was on the project. It is an intimate and tragic story but one that needed to be told. The DVD can be purchased at gandwenterprises .com

My earliest memory of being in church is about music. I remember hearing the word “safasecure” in the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” and wondering what it meant. It was years before I could read the hymns for myself and realized that it was a phrase: “safe and secure.” That was long before my piano and voice training, but it shaped my understanding of the importance of enunciation in singing. It was years later that my denomination published a new supplemental hymnal, not to replace the existing one (which was certainly not outdated!), but to expand our worship experience with songs that were new and fresh, as well as adding some oldies but goodies that were left out of the existing hymnal. The new supplement was called The Faith We Sing.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

The title for it was chosen because the leaders of our denomination realized that “the faith we sing” is the faith we believe! Our music (if we pay attention to it, and do not just mouth the words) shapes us, teaches us and grows us up in the faith. I’m sure you have several favorite hymns. I encourage you to sing them joyously, or reverently, depending on the hymn. I encourage you to listen to the words you are singing. Do you hear them? Do you believe them? Do you live them? Offer your songs to God!

CTE: building strong careers By Ruth White Jeff McMurray is a 1992 graduate of Halls High. He studied in the building trades program during his high school years and it was his passion for the trade that brought him back to become an instructor.

Knox County Commission is expanding the I.C. King Park by 70 acres and relocating the entrance to Maryville Pike. Commissioner Mike Brown said the two entrances off Alcoa Highway will be closed, and Commissioner Bob Thomas called it “a great thing for South Knoxville at a net zero cost (of new money) to Knox County.” Doug Bataille, senior director of Parks and Recreation, put together the complex exchange. He said, “This will eliminate dangerous intersections (with Alcoa Highway) where the speed limit is 50 and drivers sometimes do 70. … It gives us better access control, and a very open parking lot on Maryville Pike that will have a lot of eyes on it.” Current parking lots,

which Bataille called “secluded and unsafe,” will be closed. The 70 acres adjacent to the park was purchased from Sevier Heights Baptist Church for $725,000. According to Bataille’s report, the church paid $775,000 for it in 2004. KUB provided $300,000 of the purchase price in lieu of paving the north and south entrances to the park torn up in a construction project, and $32,000 to purchase utility easements. Knox County provided $393,000 remaining from a past capital improvement project. Legacy Parks Foundation agreed to raise $300,000 for property development. So the total investment in South Knox County is $1,025,000 with the county putting in less than $400,000.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY Shopper news • SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 • A-9

Central High School’s new librarian Sarah Qualls, enjoys a reading break in the school media center. Photos by R. White

Central High instructor Nick Carney assists a student on a classroom project.

The new face of the library One day back in 1929, Hattie Gresham, principal at Central High School, was informed that the school was required to have a library and if it didn’t, it would be “taken off the list.” Which list, no one is sure, but the threat was enough to get the wheels turning.

Ruth White

That day Gresham spoke with the students and explained the situation. The senior class had raised $3,000 for a school annual but donated the money to keep the school in good standing. A group of students tore down a partition in a room and the library was born. The money donated was used to purchase 1,600 books for the library which continued to grow in the years to come. Today’s library inside Central High School is an amazing space, headed by a new librarian, Sarah Qualls.

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because she was the choral director at Carter High School for many years. Which leads to the next question: what is a choral director doing in a library? “As a young girl I was told to do what I loved,” said Qualls. “I loved books and music.” As the landscape of the library is changing, Qualls, with her bubbly personality and a voice that has been trained to project, is a perfect fit. A library was once just the place to check out book and do research. Now it’s a hub of activity as classes utilize the space and over 200 pieces of technology to take learning to a new level. On a given day, up to four classes are using the library and learning in unique ways to fit different needs. The atmosphere is much more welcoming than the hushed voices and shushing from the librarian if voices got above a whisper. On a recent day, an ELL (English Language Learners) class was studying math in one area. The technology available allowed them to

learn a math skill at their own pace. A social studies class was in another part of the library, using the computers to work on a collaborative project. The teacher was able to help individual students as they typed and provide needed guidance as the projects progressed. Qualls is on hand to assist students and staff members and enjoys her role as a teaching librarian. “I feel that I’m able to impact the entire school, not just a class or two, and support the teachers.” She also assists students with research, making sure that they get accurate, legitimate information. A teacher work station inside the library’s entrance allows teachers to gather to plan their time, share ideas with co-workers and assist students when needed. Tucked away in a corner is the Heritage Room which contains history of the school and Fountain City. The room contains yearbooks from 1929 and beyond, pictures and articles that are useful, not only for the students but for com-

munity members looking for information on the city. “I want the library to be a bright spot in the community,” said Qualls. “I want to be part of Fountain City, not just in Fountain City.” After one visit to the media center at Central High School, it’s obvious that the library that I grew up in has changed. And it’s a change for the better.

Pinwheels for peace Copper Ridge art teacher Theresa Kindrick spent the first couple of weeks of school working with her students to create a project six weeks in the making. The project involves fi rst through fifth grade students and creating more than 400 colorful pinwheels to be planted on the grounds of the school. The project, Pinwheels for Peace, was launched on Sept. 21, the International Day of Peace. Each student was able to decorate a pinwheel and David Leonard’s fifth grade class staked the colorful art work in to the ground in the form of a giant peace sign.

J.C. Collette helps put pinwheels in the ground, forming a giant peace symbol.

Bus depot comedy ahead As Powell Playhouse presents ‘A Day at the Java Shop and Greyhound Bus Depot’ By Charles Denney It’s just your typical day at the Java Shop and Greyhound Bus Depot in Fort McLeod, Alberta. There’s your usual assortment of oddball townies, cops stopping in for coffee and a donut, lovelorn servers singing Patsy Cline, and escaped convicts disguised in drag with plans to rob a bank. Anything else? Oh, a young Johnny Cash just walked through the door with his guitar. “Ring of Fire” anyone? That’s what audiences will see and hear in the latest comedy from the Powell Playhouse – “A Day at the Java Shop and Greyhound Bus Depot” by Roger Cosgrove. This hilarious and familyfriendly play includes one of the Powell Playhouse’s largest and most experienced casts ever – 16 people. Will the people who frequent the java shop find true love? Will the coppers catch the bad guys? Will the man in black make it to his next gig in time? Come to the play to find out. “A Day at the Java Shop and Greyhound Bus Depot” will be performed on Thursday, Oct. 15; Friday, Oct. 16; and twice on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Jubilee Banquet Facility on Callahan Road. The play starts at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Tickets are $10 for all performances with a $5 senior discount for the matinee, and can be purchased at the door. Dinner will also be offered with each performance with a lunch before the Saturday matinee. Dinners prior to evening performances

are $15 and the lunch is $10. For meal reservations and times, call the Jubilee Center at 865-938-2112. “It’s refreshing and exciting to meet all the new people auditioning with the Powell Playhouse. We open our fifth season with our second play in a row that has a large cast, and they’re going to bring lots of laughs!” says Gina Jones, president of the PPH and director of this play. Carly Johnson, a frequent performer and volunteer with the PPH, plays the role of Josie. Carly was last seen on the PPH stage in “The Night of January 16th.” Carly is a sophomore engineering major at UT. “Josie is a very relatable character,” Carly says. “This play feels like a sitcom with multiple storylines. It’s very fast-paced and funny.” Katie Dake returns to the playhouse stage to play Jo’s server sidekick Linda. Katie has appeared in “Steel Magnolias” and “Crimes

RedPaint Spilman

of the Heart” for the PPH, and teaches language arts at Karns Middle School. Brandon Lloyd Hicks makes his PPH debut as a young Johnny Cash. Brandon is also a talented musician who recently played Elvis in “All Shook up” at the Oak Ridge Playhouse. Veteran actor Gary Mullins returns to the PPH stage as Larry, one of the criminals looking to score a major heist. Gary was in “Arsenic and Old Lace,” and has appeared on stage at Theatre Knoxville Downtown more than 30 times. Gary/Larry’s partner in crime is Grant McMahan, who plays Bob/Mary/Angel. Grant has appeared in “Everybody Loves Opal” and “The Night of January 16th.” RedPaint Spilman returns to the PPH as bumbling Constable Larsen. Steven Miller is also a PPH veteran, and plays shy mechanic Kevin, who has eyes for the lovely Josie. Charles Denney makes

his seventh PPH appearance as Leroy, the rancher looking for love in all the wrong places. He’s joined by pals Bill and Mac, played by PPH newcomers Dave Stair and Brian Cooney. Another newcomer – Debra Pope – plays dual roles of bus driver Annie and Maxine. The rest of the cast includes actors who’ve made appearances on the PPH stage before. Melody McMahan is Chantico, a Mexican bus boy-girl, Colby Russell Benjamin is the police chief, Tabitha Neilson and Scarlet Bell Silva are wayward sisters Mary and Sherri, and Mark Johnson is the peddler with a coat full of iffy watches to sell. Christy Rutherford will serve as head makeup artist, and Paula Johnson will be in charge of props. Mona Napier handles ticket and ad sales, oversees the ushers and greets guests. This is the 13th play presented by the Powell Playhouse since it was established by the late Nita Buell Black in 2010. Next up, the PPH will team with One Life Church to bring “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” to our community on Dec. 10-12. “This will be our first children’s play and we are very excited about it!” Jones says.

County to expand I.C. King Park, move entrance By Sandra Clark Knox County is expanding the I.C. King Park by 70 acres and relocating the entrance to Maryville Pike. Two entrances off Alcoa Highway will be closed.

The county is paying Sevier Heights Baptist Church $725,000 for the 70 acres with money coming from KUB and a previous (unnamed) capital improvement project. Carol Evans

at Legacy Parks Foundation pledged to raise $300,000 to develop the park. Current parking lots, which Doug Bataille called “secluded and unsafe,” will be closed.

Kenny Manis shows off his landscaping at Nature’s Cove.

Manis champions beautification Kenny Manis arrives at Nature’s Cove, a KCDC-managed property, every morning before dawn to water the flowerbeds and landscaped features that he championed for the property. Manis has been a maintenance manager with Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation for a decade and has worked in the industry for 40 years. He led the initiative at Nature’s Cove to increase the curb appeal of the property and create a sense of home for residents. He began planting perennials several years ago and sought instruction on their care. Managing a tight budget while continuing to improve the look of the property can be a challenge, and Manis said he has learned many “tricks of the trade.” He has cleared more than 50 trees and placed functional landscaping to help manage foot traffic and protect green spaces. He’s even gotten the 85 kids who live at Nature’s Cove involved. Several residents have

built flowerbeds in front of their homes. These residents ask Manis for advice, and when he has extra mulch, he helps with their personal gardens. “Kenny has gone above and beyond his job description to make Nature’s Cove a beautiful place for our residents to live,” said Kristie Toby, senior asset manager for KCDC. “Every year, Kenny has a new feature planned to beautify the property. This personal project is on top of covering the everyday interior and exterior maintenance needs on all 95 units. “This is my world,” Manis said. “You don’t mind working hard when you can look back and see what you have done. “I’m always thinking what I can do to improve it.” Manis already has plans for next year, which include covering a stone retaining wall in creeping stone ivy and planting new holly bushes around several hightraffic green spaces.

Hiking the AT results in film, amazing experience By Betsy Pickle Hiking the Appalachian Trail is a bear. Hiking the Appalachian Trail with an extra 30 pounds of camera equipment on your back is insane. But that’s what Jeff Brown and Drew Simms did for four months and 28 days starting in June 2012. The result is the documentary “Dirty South Bounders – An American Journey of a Lifetime.” The film will have its big-screen premiere at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at Scruffy City Hall on Market Square. Brown and Simms, both now 28, attended Sevier County High School at the same time but didn’t run in the same circles. After graduating in 2005, Simms headed to acting school in New York City and Brown started at the University of Tennessee, bouncing around between majors before finally deciding he wanted to go to film school. As it happened, he transferred to California State University-Northridge at the same time that Simms, who had moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, was looking for a roommate. The two connected and became good friends. After Brown graduated from film school and both were getting burned out on the L.A. scene, they got the

idea to make a film about hiking the Appalachian Trail. “I don’t remember where the idea came from, but it just hit us one day,” Brown says. “We can get out of the city that’s breaking us down, go back to our roots in the mountains. And we can hike the Appalachian Trail and make a film about it, without giving up on our careers.” They returned to Sev ier v ille in 2011 and worked for a year to save money. They started at the northern end of the AT – making themselves “South Bounders.” As for the “dirty” part … “After just a couple of weeks on the trail, you’re broken down of all your normal, civilized ways of representing yourself,” says Brown. “Everybody’s dirty, everybody’s smelly, everybody was wearing the same clothes. “You don’t know what people do for a living, what their religious faiths are, what kind of political beliefs they have. It kind of just levels the whole playing field. Everybody shares that common goal of completing the trail. … It’s a really cool experience.” As opposed to section hikers, who do parts of the AT over time, thru-hikers tackle the 2,174-mile trail in one fell swoop and usually form a “family” of hikers

At the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, thru-hikers pose for a “family” photo: from left, Jani Taljaard (trail name Corolla), Jeff Brown (Moon Man), Drew Simms (Bootleg), Trevor Johnson (GAGA), Phillip Hill (Zen); and, front, Matthew Summa (Truth). as they travel. The film duo started out with another friend, Jani Taljaard (trail name Corolla), whose relationship with Simms became a “B story” in the film. (Spoiler alert: It did not end well, Brown says.) “The trail, it’s not like going on an expedition in the Amazon or climbing Mount Everest,” says Brown. “The real thing that makes it challenging is the distance and the time.” He says there are some remote sections of the AT, but often they were traveling through “someone’s back yard.” They developed

an efficient system of charging their batteries, sending footage home and getting resupplied with data cards. Once they finally got home, it took a while for them to complete the film because they both had to work day jobs. Says Brown: “The biggest thing I learned from the whole experience is the relationships you make with people; it kind of restores your faith in humanity, all the good people you interact with and come in contact with. You meet people from all over the world that have the same interest, to take on the Appalachian Trail.”

Next up: ‘Of Mice and Men’ By Carol Shane The 2015-2016 season has already begun for the Clarence Brown Theatre. Last week “The 39 Steps” – a lively spoof of the Alfred Hitchcock film by the same name – finished its run. Fortunately, a wealth of strong productions still awaits the theatergoer. Next up is John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.” The play follows two migrant field workers in California during the “Dust Bowl depression” of the 1930s. Published as a novella in 1937 and adapted for the stage that same year by its author, “Of Mice and Men” isn’t Steinbeck’s only look at these hardscrabble lives – his masterwork, “The Grapes of Wrath,” followed two years later. George Milton and Lennie Small, the two men at the heart of the play, suit up and show up every day but are weary of the migrant life. They have dreams of owning their own ranch Steve Sherman and Kyle Maxwell star in the Clarence Brown some day, and often pass the time Theatre’s production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” talking and daydreaming about their opening this Friday.

Sicario A by-the-book FBI agent (Emily Blunt) is recruited for a black-ops unit working in the drug-war zone along the U.S.-Mexico border in “Sicario,” opening in theaters Friday. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro also star.

The title of the play comes from a poem by Robert Burns. Translated from Burns’ original Scottish language, it states: “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Lennie is mentally challenged. A gentle giant who is often unaware of the consequences of his innocent actions, he is cared for and guided through life by his good friend George. When a tragedy occurs, George finds himself making a very difficult decision for Lennie’s ultimate benefit. Kyle Maxwell, the third-year MFA acting candidate who plays Lennie, says that the character lives “with a quiet dignity that words cannot adequately describe.” The play is not only a look at migrant life, but also a testament to friendship and, in the words of an old song, “the things we do for love.” Other plays on the docket for the season are the musical “Mr. Burns – A Post-Electric Play” by Anne Washburn; the CBT’s annual beloved production of “A Christmas Carol” by

Charles Dickens; the short, one-man, hysterically funny play called “The Santaland Diaries,” based on writer David Sedaris’ experiences as a Macy’s department store elf; “Titus Andronicus,” Shakespeare’s tragedy of violent, bloody revenge; the thoughtful, powerful “A Lesson Before Dying,” by Earnest J. Gaines, adapted by Romulus Linney; the world premiere of the CBT-commissioned satire “The Open Hand”; and the tremendously popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific.” The Clarence Brown Theatre’s production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” at the Carousel Theatre offers preview performances at 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow (Wednesday-Thursday, Sept. 30-Oct. 1). The opening-night performance is at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 2. The production runs through Oct. 18 and also includes three Sunday matinees. Info: clarencebrowntheatre.com or 974-5161.

Coyotes are creatures of the night By David Hunter Opinions are divided on the coyote among Knoxvillians and East Tennesseans in general. To many they are viewed as skulking, cowardly creatures, ravaging livestock, snatching small pets from their own yards and a menace to children and adults alike. To others they are admirable creatures that have not only survived as other species have dwindled to extinction or near extinction, but have spread from the mountains and plains of the Western United States all the way to parts of Canada and into Central America. Native Americans generally viewed the coyote as a wise creature, a trickster in their mythology, which coexisted in harmony with them for thousands of years. It was the arrival of European settlers who built pens and fences to protect their livestock that turned the coyote into an outlaw species, hated and massacred everywhere it was found. The coyote averages from 20 to 50 pounds, with the largest coyote ever killed at 75 pounds, and 32 to 37 inches in height – similar in size to a medium German shepherd. Sterling Daniels, a specialist in small game with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), recently expressed the opinion to me that coyotes are very often blamed for things they didn’t do. “Coyotes are scavengers and generally hunt alone,” Daniels said, “and very often they will be seen at the kill of a farm animal that was actually taken down by dogs running in packs. But when someone spots the coyote making a meal of something it found, he jumps to the conclusion that it was the coyote that did it. Or if coyotes are even seen in an area, people attribute disappearing pets to them – and coyotes are seen pretty

much everywhere today this area.” Daniels was almost apologetic for having very little solid evidence to pass along. Essentially, in the state of Tennessee, anywhere it is legal to shoot, it’s legal to kill coyotes any day or night of the year and to kill as many as the hunter wishes. Since the coyote is not considered a game animal there is no tagging to keep up with the number killed every year. Apparently some also kill the coyotes for their fur, which turned out to be the case in what was at first investigated as an animal cruelty case here in Knox County – before DNA testing showed the skinned animals to be coyotes – though the difference between cruelty to a coyote and a dog seems thin at best. My first encounter with a coyote was around 1985 when as a deputy sheriff I answered an alarm call at what was then the London Fog plant in the Powell community. Upon arrival, I told my dispatcher to call the security company and let them know their German shepherd was loose and running around the yard, because its coloration and size were similar to that breed. As it turned out they had no German shepherd and when I got out of the cruiser and was able to see the animal close up as it circled inside the fence, it was a female coyote, obviously with a litter of pups somewhere. I later determined that she had jumped up on a pickup truck parked near the fence, then jumped over to raid a dumpster and was unable to get out. When a security officer arrived to open the gate and let the desperate, panting

coyote out, he was as startled as I was because neither of us had any idea there were coyotes in Knox County. She didn’t know what a gate was and just kept circling inside the fence until I stepped in front of her. Only then did she go through the gate. After I reported what I had seen, I took a lot of ribbing for the rest of the night because everyone else also knew “there are no coyotes around here.” The next morning I called TWRA and was told there were a lot of them around, but I was the first government official to report one because they were very sly and nocturnal to boot. The person I talked to that morning explained that since the elusive coyotes seldom came out by day if they were still out in early morning hours were often mistaken for dogs because nobody expected to see a coyote. A year later I stepped out on the back deck of my home in Powell – five miles from where I had seen the coyote – and saw my German shepherd, Maxie, sitting nose to nose with what I took for a fawn colored dog, as if in deep discussion. After I made a noise, the speed with which the animal vanished left me in doubt that it was dog. Coming off shift at 3 a.m. a few days later, I

was sitting on the back deck when the animal passed within 20 feet of me cutting through the yard. It was definitely a coyote. There’s no doubt that coyotes now coexist with human neighbors – not only in rural areas of Knox and surrounding counties, but also in close suburban areas. Jesse Fox Mayshark, Mayor Madeline Rogero’s director of communications, reported on FaceBook that a few years ago he was in a traffic snarl on Westland Drive between Morrell and Northshore “...that turned out to be partially caused by a coyote blithely trotting along the side of the road, unfazed by the rubbernecking commuters.” Linda Sharp, a medical worker, left her second shift job in the Fort Sanders area at 11:30 p.m., turned left from 17th Street, going west on Western Avenue – almost in the heart of urban Knoxville – and encountered a coyote on the hill approaching News Sentinel Drive. “As I went slowly by, it just looked at me!” They are here, without a doubt. They have covered the county since I saw and first reported the one in Powell in 1985. They still don’t look like coyotes to those who have never seen them because they come in a variety colors – espe-

Swim lessons for ALL ages.

cially since coyotes began interbreeding with domestic dogs, producing what is generally called a “coy-dog.” The question remains, though, are they demonic creatures, snatching pets from our yards and killing livestock? That they may take an occasional small pet cannot be disproven, but in every such report I personally ran down, it turned out that the pet just went missing. Not a single person claimed to have seen a coyote in the act of actually carrying away a pet cat. And I myself live in an area frequented both by coyotes and lots of cats. Despite the fact that coyotes are seen more frequently these days because of the increasing population, they remain mostly nocturnal – except in places like Cade’s Cove where they have figured out they are in no danger – and generally avoid human beings, it would take an amazingly

stupid animal not to have learned who the enemy is. Coyotes are not stupid. In the wild they eat smaller mammals – rats, mice, squirrel and rabbits – plus lizards snakes, berries and the remains of game left by larger predators. In urban areas, they find the same prey and augment their diets with pet food left outside or from scraps taken from garbage cans. Most of their hunting is done while people are sleeping. You may have perceived that I am among the admirers of “Canis latrans,” the simple coyote that has survived and prospered despite the efforts of human beings for the last 200 years to wipe them out. A few years ago, when I read about the New York City police chasing a coyote all over several boroughs, I just smiled. Everyone knows if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere.

Thunder Road returns with wine trail roughly follows the old Thunder Road and Copperhead Road moonshine smuggling routes, from Knoxville to Butler, Tenn. Most of the trail’s wineries have been open for less than three years, and two are brand new. “Our vintner’s wines are handcrafted and represent the soil and climate from which the grapes are grown. Our wines speak of community and history,” said Rick Riddle, founder of Thunder Road Wine Trail.

By Rebecca Williams Celebrating with free wine tastings, antique car displays and even a mock “car chase” down the original Thunder Road, several wineries in the Knoxville area will host kick-off events for the new Thunder Road Wine Trail during October. Thunder Road Wine Trail connects six independent wineries in East Tennessee, including five within an hour’s drive of Knoxville and two within an hour of Johnson City. The

“If you are willing to try wines other than Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir, you will find award-winning wines made from varietals that thrive in East Tennessee, including Chambourcin, Chancellor and Seyval.” Kick-off events include: Kodak: Friday, Oct. 2, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Eagle Springs Winery, located at the Sevierville exit just off I-40, at 119 W.

Atchley will cut the ribbon at noon, and there will be free wine tasting, cheese samples from Sweetwater Valley Farm, finger foods, an antique car display and door prizes on the hour. Maynardville: Saturday, Oct. 3, noon to 5 p.m., The Winery at Seven Springs Farm, 1474 Highway 61 East, located along the old Thunder

Road itself. At 1 p.m., legislators Frank Niceley and Dennis Powers along with other key guests will cut the ribbon on Thunder Road as a vintage “chase car” arrives. Bluegrass Band “Every Now and Again” will play. There will be farm-to-table fare for purchase and free wine tasting. This is a double celebration, marking the grand opening of The Winery at Seven Springs Farm, as well as the kick-off for Thunder Road Wine Trail. Knoxville: Friday, Oct. 9, 5:30 to 9 p.m., Blue Slip Winery, 300 W. Depot Ave. Ribbon cutting is planned for 5:30 p.m., with Knoxville Chamber of Commerce representatives. The event also features music by the Blonde Bones, a train car tour, and free wine tasting. Butler: Saturday, Oct.

17, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Watauga Lake Winery, 6952 Big Dry Run Rd. Yellow ribbon cutting by legislator Timothy Hill at 11 a.m. Guest celebrity “Tiny” of “Moonshiners.” Tour the winery and vineyard, admire vintage cars and enjoy music.

Breakfast will help hammers swing There was no salad at the HopeBuilders Breakfast for Knoxville’s Habitat for Humanity on Sept. 24, but things were still looking green. The breakfast raised $30,525 to support affordable housing for deserving families in Knox County. Approximately 150 people attended the event, which was hosted by Kelle Shultz, president and CEO of Knoxville Habitat. Guest speakers were Knoxville Habitat board member the Rev. Steve Misenheimer of St. John’s Lutheran Church and Mary Welch, senior director of U.S. Affiliate Services for Habitat for Humanity International. Welch began with Habitat for Humanity as a volunteer in 1994 and has over

30 years in nonprofit management. She spoke on “The Theology of the Hammer,” a concept of the late Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity. Driving this inaugural event was the celebration of Knoxville Habitat’s 30th year and the beginning of the building of home No. 500 in Knox County. “We are so blessed by the support and generosity of this community,” said Shultz. “It’s because of the support of our covenant partners, donors and volunteers that we are here and able to provide an opportunity for low-income families to go through the program and work to become homeowners.” Info: knoxvillehabitat forhumanity.com

Adopt a new friend! Slim Jim

is a wonderful 5-yearold male Pit/Hound/Dalmatian mix. He was brought into the Humane Society of Jefferson County in March so starved and thin he had trouble standing or walking. We did not think he would survive the first night. Slim persevered, and with regular groceries he made a remarkable recovery. He has been waiting for a loving home for quite some time. Slim Jim does great with women, children and well-behaved dogs. He is a bit more reserved with men (possibly due to his history of abuse and neglect), but give him a few treats and he quickly comes around.

Slim Jim needs a home!

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Moving fountains Busy Newport mayor back on move after hernia surgery When it comes to moving mountains, Newport mayor Connie Ball has much on his plate: create jobs, recruit business and industry, manage traf c ow and upgrade library facilities. This is in addition to his other roles as substitute teacher, school bus driver and reserve deputy. One thing NOT on his mayoral agenda, however, is moving fountains. After all, those are much harder to move. The 63-year-old mayor discovered just that last June when his wife Marsha, who had undergone extensive hernia surgery just months earlier, asked him to move a ceramic water fountain at their home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess it had two or three gallons of water in it and weighed about 100 pounds,â&#x20AC;? Ball recounted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just wanted it moved from one pedestal to another right there beside it. So I just picked it up and moved it two or three feet, and when I did, I felt something pop.â&#x20AC;? That â&#x20AC;&#x153;pop,â&#x20AC;? a telltale sign that the contents of Ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abdomen had just pushed through a weakened area of his lower abdominal wall, con rmed what he had suspected for at least two months: a hernia on the right side of his groin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even before this, I was considering going to the doctor to get it checked, but there was no bulge or anything,â&#x20AC;? said Ball, a retired principal now in his third term and 10th year as mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just noticing some pain and a little discomfort on the right side, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always picking up heavy things. So I went to the restroom and checked myself and there it was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bulge that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there that morning. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Newport Mayor Connie Ball is thankful to Dr. Joel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treyâ&#x20AC;? Bradley and Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center for the care he received from hernia surgery. been a hernia to start with and I have nished it off.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Recalling his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgery just months earlier, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you could have a good experience with a surgery, that was one of the best ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been involved in as far as the doctor, all of his staff, the hospital, from top to bottom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and she had to stay almost seven days with her surgery.â&#x20AC;? But her surgeon had since retired, and Ball wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure where to turn. Then he remembered

a relative praising Dr. Joel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treyâ&#x20AC;? Bradley after undergoing hernia surgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center within the past month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him long to tell me what I had,â&#x20AC;? said Ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, I knew that had to be a hernia over here and then he said you have a small one starting on the left side. So I told him to go ahead and do that one too. Then he explained the procedure and all the details.â&#x20AC;? The surgery was set for July 6

so as not to interfere with the Ball familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual summer gathering in Hilton Head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My kids had to carry all the luggage, they had to take the garbage out, and if they needed something moved inside our condo there, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Ball said laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just propped my feet up on the couch. But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spoil everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unbearable or anything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just aggravating.â&#x20AC;? It took only about 60 to 90 minutes for Dr. Bradley to repair both hernias through a few tiny laparo-

scopic incisions on his abdomen, using a mesh material to â&#x20AC;&#x153;patch the hole.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything went great,â&#x20AC;? said Ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody in the room where they took me to start with was just tremendously friendly and very cordial and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for a better place. Then they gave me the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go juiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and rolled me from there to another place, and I just remember rolling in and waking up and that was it. I never did have any real pain. I had some soreness, but it was mild. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for anybody better than Dr. Bradley. I mean he was that good. I was extremely happy with the results, and especially the treatment at Fort Sanders. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for more friendly people, very professional. It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any better.â&#x20AC;? In no time at all, Ball was â&#x20AC;&#x153;back on the move, trimming weeds, mowing, painting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you name it.â&#x20AC;? In about six weeks, the mayor and retired principal found himself back in the classroom substitute teaching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to the hardware store yesterday after church to get some paint, and they had a 32- or 36-pack of bottled water, which weighs about 35 pounds. So I had one of the people there put two of them in my buggy, and they followed me out to my car to put it in. I am not going to take any chances. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to get into that heavy lifting stuff again. Dr. Bradley was very speci c: take care of yourself, watch what you do.â&#x20AC;? For more information about hernia surgery, call 673-FORT.

Inguinal hernias will strike one in four men MAMMOGRAMS SAVE LIVES. Some women risk their health because they think mammograms are not fun. Now they are!

if they are not causing any discomfort or major issues, then they can be evaluated by your regular physician or by a general surgeon,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are protruding and causing signi cant pain and will not reduce (that is, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pushed manually back into the abdomen), then they need to be evaluated quickly by a physician or Dr. Joel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treyâ&#x20AC;? in the emergency room.â&#x20AC;? Hernias that canBradley not be reduced may cut off the blood supply to the tissue in the hernia. If that happens, extreme pain, nausea and vomiting is likely. It can also be fatal. Fortunately, said Dr. Bradley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strangulation rates are really quite low given the number of hernias. Some studies quote inguinal strangulation rates as low as 0.2 percent per year.â&#x20AC;? The cause of hernias, however, is not always as obvious as when the mayor

moved a 100-pound water fountain. In fact, many hernias are because of a genetic weakness in the abdominal wall. Other hernias can be caused by trauma, pregnancy or even previous surgical incisions. For that reason, hernias can affect both adults and children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The term herniation can be used for discs in the back or herniated brain stems, etc.,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, most are generally con ned to the abdomen.â&#x20AC;? Other types of hernias are femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), hiatal (upper stomach) or incisional (resulting from the incision site of a previous surgery). How does one avoid hernias? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depends on the hernia,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, being in a good weight range is helpful for the majority. However, some patients are just going to develop them no matter what. Smoking is also a contributor, especially with a hernia at a prior abdominal incision.â&#x20AC;?

Newport mayor Connie Ball was one in a million plus. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly the number of hernia surgeries performed each year in the United States, the most common of which are inguinal hernias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 25 percent of men will develop them over their lifetime because of how our anatomy develops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the testicles start in the abdomen and descend through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inguinal canalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into the scrotum,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Joel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treyâ&#x20AC;? Bradley of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. â&#x20AC;?That tunnel closes up, but over time, it can stretch open. Sometimes, the exertion is just what pushes something into the hernia, which is a hole or defect in the abdominal wall. So the rst time a patient notices it can be when they are lifting something.â&#x20AC;? For that reason, Dr. Bradley urges people to use good lifting techniques: avoid heavy lifting if possible, and use the legs, not the back. But if you develop a hernia, have it evaluated by your physician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general,

Those who helped include local teens, boys from the skateboard park, other shoppers in the parking lot, the man who chased with his car, and the man who thought to put my shopping cart full of groceries back in the store. It was a real team effort and I am very grateful. THANK YOU!
