HBPA to set goals for Halls Ahead By Sandra Clark Halls Ahead is a short-term project of the Halls Business and Professional Association to define community goals and match resources to reach those goals. Carl Tindell, president of the HPBA, will lead the project, assisted by the HPBA board of directors and this newspaper. “Road construction, vacant retail spaces and the upcoming departure of Regal Entertainment are problems,� Tindell said. “We need patience with TDOT on the Hwy. 33 project and a plan to stabilize and grow our retail in Halls.� A broader goal is to create excitement in Halls by providing shopping and entertainment options without driving across town. Every opinion is important. The board of HBPA will adopt the plan at its May meeting, noon Tuesday, May 3, at the Halls Senior Center. Meanwhile, during April, we want to hear from you. Email or phone any board member: Sandy Cates, David Buckner, Joe Pratt, Travis Woody, Bob Crye, Michelle Wilson, Pam Johnson, Robert Hubbs, Ernie Joyner, Sue Walker or Denise Girard. Reach Carl Tindell at Tindell Inc., carlt@tindells.com or 9259201, or this newspaper at News@ ShopperNewsNow.com or 6618777. Here’s the idea:

Knox County Sheriff’s Office. “I found that anytime we are allowed to focus to one small geographical area it allows problem solving and relationships to be built between business, city services and people who live and work in the area. I think we need this type of glue for Halls. Maybe something like a Halls Business Improvement District? “In downtown my first order of business was to drive every street and make an assessment of safety, security, cleanliness and to figure out ways to suppress opportunities for a crime to occur. We applied the Broken Windows Theory and considered how criminals feel comfortable committing a crime in an area where they feel nobody watches or maybe doesn’t care what is going on. Criminals sometimes follow a routine and commit crimes in areas they are familiar and that look conducive for them to fit in. So if it’s dark, dirty and

people are dumping loads of trash then the idea is you can do what you want. “I made a list of the following: ■all burned out street lights ■dirty lots and trash ■dark parking lots ■broken car window glass in lots and what part of the lots it was noted. ■abandoned vehicles ■homeless camps and viaduct encampments ■chronic locations for panhandling “The first month we hauled away probably 10 dump trucks of junk. Some of it shingles, building materials, and wood dumped behind Big Don’s Elegant Junk on Willow St. in a vacant lot. We cleaned out old mattresses, rancid cloths, stolen purses, wallets and items from car burglaries from under bridges in the homeless camps. We had KUB add lights, fi x broken ones and worked on light-

ing dark lots with private owners. “Second Phase was to return legitimate use to public space. We turned a homeless jungle at the corner of Central and Summit Hill into a pet park for downtown residents to walk their pets and to return the area for legitimate use. “The point was to reduce what we call ‘fear zones.’ These are places no visitor would want to go just on sight alone. Places dark or scary looking do not promote business or good feelings. We worked with Keep Knoxville Beautiful to do graffiti abatement and to make it attractive for people to want to come downtown to the Old City or to see a movie. We worked with Helen Ross McNabb, Volunteer Ministries and KARM to get caseworkers and places for our bridge dwellers to go. We also displaced some sex offenders who didn’t want to report their addresses and who were living up under some downtown bridges near World’s Fair Park. “We obtained letters of ‘no trespass’ from business owners and served notice to criminals hanging out in their lots and property at night. First encounter a warning. Second encounter after documented warning was a charge of trespass. We worked with TDOT to block off access to under bridges and put no trespass signs up. To page A-3

Robert Hubbs weighs in “I was the lieutenant who supervised police service for the Central Business District in Knoxville’s CBID downtown area which is about 400 acres in Robert Hubbs the core of downtown from the Old City to Volunteer Landing and 11th Street to Hall of Fame Drive. It could be roughly the size of Halls. I worked for 30 years at Knoxville KPD and now almost seven with

Kids’ fun day in Halls Steve Petrone, owner of Marco’s Pizza, knows how to throw a party. First, you order a bounce house and then you get a bunch of businesses to bring neat stuff for kids. Next, you somehow talk otherwise sane school principals into giving up their Saturday to engage in a pizzaeating contest – all to the cheers of their kids and parents. And, oh yeah, you serve $2 slices of the best-tasting pizza in town. Embarrassing pictures of principals on A-3.

South schools: Turmoil spreads as Rountree seeks answers By Betty Bean

With major problems at three South Knoxville schools, board member Amber Rountree wants answers. She also wants equity. Rountree has asked Superintendent James McIntyre for a side-byside comparison of class offerings at South Doyle Middle School and Bearden Middle School. “Our kids in South Knoxville deserve equal curriculum opportuRountree nities,� she said. A brave sixth-grader spoke on behalf of students and teachers at last week’s school board meeting in response to proposed class cuts at South-Doyle Middle School for the upcoming school year “All these classes that have been cut are classes that children look forward to during the school day,� she said. “What does this mean for the teachers who taught these classes? These beloved teachers

have lost their job. Why? Because of the budget, or test scores? Have other middle schools lost their Spanish, keyboarding, music, PE, AVID, focus block, jazz band and singing groups?� She said that students “were crying or screaming from anger and surprise� when they heard the news. Meanwhile, at Mt. Olive Elementary School, parents are repeating last year’s complaints about principal Paula Brown. This year, 113 parents and relatives have signed a petition demanding Brown’s removal. The petition says that the school has lost “a number of great teachers� because of Brown’s actions, and that parents are tired of having their complaints ignored. “How many great teachers do we have to lose before someone steps up and makes a leadership change? Our parents are unhappy, and our children are suffering while our teachers are being bullied. We stand together as parents and as a community in asking for the im-

mediate removal of the principal at Mount Olive Elementary School.� South-Doyle High School has been under interim leadership since principal Tim Berry and assistant principal/head football coach/athletic director Clark Duncan were placed on administrative leave Feb. 8. They are suspended with pay pending an investigation by the Knox County District Attorney General. Rountree says these high-profile problems are overshadowing the good things happening in South Knox schools. She can’t comment on the high school situation, and expressed sympathy for the Mt. Olive parents “who are frustrated by a lack of communication� with the principal and Knox County Schools administration. “These parents came to a board meeting this time last year (with the same complaints). As a board member, I don’t make staffing decisions, but I do pass on what folks share with me.� Rountree has had plenty to say about the impending changes at

the middle school, though, and in an email she sent to McIntyre the day after the board meeting, she makes it clear that she is not happy with SDMS principal Taiwo Sutton’s decisions nor with how he is communicating with parents. In an April 6 email to parents, Sutton downplayed the changes, which he described as adjustments in class sizes and “minor staffing and programmatic changes� that won’t impact student schedules or related arts classes. Rountree told McIntyre she is “appalled at the administration willfully painting an inaccurate and incomplete picture of the ‘minor staffing and programmatic changes’ at SDMS to students and parents. Furthermore, I find these curriculum changes unacceptable. These changes will not benefit the students. “As you heard yesterday, students are passionate about these classes and without them many of them will lose interest in school. To page A-3

Creating access and a plan for the

Collier Preserve By Sandra Clark Dr. Bob Collier is a community treasure. And he’s pretty funny too. For instance, he recently had surgery at the former St. Mary’s Medical Center. That’s where he wielded a scalpel as a general surgeon for a career and where, as they sing in “Cheers,� everybody knows his name.

So his surgeon is late and Dr. Collier is lying in pre-op in a groggy state when the word goes out. “It was like old home week,� he says, as his former co-workers dropped by to say hello. I can only imagine. We’re eating lunch at The Front Porch when a new server from somewhere else (Wisconsin, we later

learned) commented on Dr. Collier’s signature mustache. “Why, that’s so cute,� she said. “Huh! She could have chosen another word,� he joked. “Like handsome or manly,� said Mark Campen. We all laughed. We met twice with Dr. Collier last week. Only Campen got lunch. As reported earlier, Dr.

Collier has put a conservation easement on 14 acres on Emory Road, adjacent to the Powell branch library. The land was his grandmother’s farm. It will be preserved as a natural area with bird feeders and sanctuary for native and migratory creatures under the ownership of Legacy Parks Foundation.

On Tuesday, Scott M o o r e , our former county commissioner who now oversees work crews of Scott Moore county inmates, walked the land with Collier. He also met Justin Bailey at Powell Station Park and agreed to a bit more clearing there. His crews cleared the land for a Frisbee golf course last summer. The Collier Preserve will have parking and a mowed entrance. But the land itself will remain wild. The inmates will remove nonnative, invasive species. And Dr. Collier will be onsite when they’re at work, making sure they leave the habitat. I offered to bring lunch – always a hit with the inmates. Moore walked deep into the property to see two springs – clear water bubbling up from the ground. That water flows into Beaver Creek, which forms the back property line. Doc Collier said the springs are the reason his grandmother’s ancestors, the Moores, bought the farm. Her mules would walk farther to drink from the spring rather than the creek, even 50-60 years ago when the creek was clear. Now TDOT has turned stormwater onto the land – run-off from the ridge behind Powell Church and the homes off Granville Conner Road. Erosion is impacting

the source of the springs and nearby land is littered with plastic bottles, a deflated football and Mark Campen even an old tire. And that led to Friday’s lunch with Campen. North Knox’s City Council member, Campen owns Conservation Cooperative, a business he started after serving as executive director of the Izaak Walton League’s local affiliate. He started as a student volunteer with Walton, picking up trash along the Tennessee River. He became executive director in 2008. During his tenure he worked with Turkey Creek Land Partners to manage the wetland created when the shopping center was built. He also led efforts to restore a wetland in the Deane Hill area. Mark and Emily have two young kids, and he has a heart for Bob Collier’s vision for the Emory Road property as a place where youngsters can fish in the creek, see a spring bubble from the ground and maybe, on a good day, spot a deer or wild turkey. We met twice last week – with Scott Moore to make the Collier land accessible and with Mark Campen to get a plan for protecting the springs and creating a wetland to filter the runoff before it hits Beaver Creek. Let’s make this happen!

The thrill of the hunt By Cindy Taylor Strawberry Plains residents Mark and Cindy Proteau collect almost everything, but Cindy says they like to call themselves “selective hoarders.� Together the couple has filled their home with antique items, some that could be considered museum quality. Cindy favors her baby bottle collection while Mark loves old tools. “If it’s old and related to Knoxville we buy it,� said Cindy. “Usually we are to-

gether and agree on what we buy, or sometimes we talk the other one out of it. Mark says I’m the bigger hoarder. He knows if I really want something I’m going to buy it.� The couple met on a blind date 36 years ago. “It was my fried chicken and my father’s old tools that told Mark I was the girl for him,� said Cindy. Their collections include Buster Brown items, cast iron, vinyl LPs, Knoxville High School yearbooks,

Knoxville postcards (especially of Chilhowee Park) and pictures of now-demolished Knoxville buildings. A third generation Knoxville girl, Cindy was raised with a love for collecting. Cindy inherited a few pieces of cast iron from her mother, and her father got her started on collecting small bottles. Mark says he has always liked old things. He managed to save a few finds from his childhood in the woods of Connecticut, his home state.

The Proteaus have this advice for collectors and non-collectors alike: “A lot of people don’t care about their history until they get older, and by then it can be too late to ask,� said Cindy. “Go through family photos and write the names on the back. It is so sad to see old pictures for sale or thrown away because people don’t know who is pictured.� The two are cutting back on their collecting due to lack of space, but the couple agrees that it is all about the

Pizza bash raises funds for schools By Sandra Clark Steve Petrone and Matt Oliver hosted a wonderful party Saturday at Marco’s Pizza. It was a relaxed affair. School principals sat around waiting for the pizza-eating contest. Angie Harrod said she’s counting the days until the school year ends. Yes, she’s retiring, and she’s sad about missing the kids and teachers at Adrian Burnett Elementary. But she knows she’s got to clean out her office and that’s why she is counting the days. Petrone, owner of Marco’s Pizza in Knoxville, said he hosted the fun day for three reasons: so kids could have fun, to raise a little money for the schools and to create a good venue for businesses to meet people in the community. He said the goals were achieved. Even adults had fun as

area elementary school principals and their designated “volunteers,� lined up to start the pizza-eating competition. Dr. Chris Henderson and assistant principal Jamey Black represented Halls Elementary. “The only full administrative team present,� said Black. Jennifer Atkins, principal at Copper Ridge Elementary, brought her husband, Chris, to form her school’s team. Larry Israel represented Brickey-McCloud, assisted by a volunteer parent from the audience. Angie Harrod and fifth grade teacher Mark Jones represented Adrian Burnett. Oliver announced the rules. Participants had three minutes to eat 10 slices of a 15-inch cheese pizza per team. The entire piece, crust and all, had to

South schools With a school that is already struggling with behavior issues, how do you think these curriculum changes will positively impact behavior?� In a Shopper News interview, Rountree said the changes Sutton proposes will disrupt innovative instruction taking place in SDMS feeder schools like the Arts 360 program, which integrates arts and academics. She said the changes are designed to de-

There was confusion at the end with Brickey and Adrian Burnett forced into a “sudden death� playoff. Israel came out on top, besting Jones for the championship. The totals had not been compiled at press time, but Petrone said schools raised $200 or so when competing

“How does this apply to Halls? “I see some of the same things I saw in downtown. Unkempt, overgrown grass, trash, burned out lights, areas of no guardianship around shopping centers and businesses. Poor lighting, inconsistent styles of lighting (old 1970’s blue mercury vapor to glaring parking lot lights). “Halls needs a street lighting makeover similar to what we see on Emory Rd near I-75 or Callahan Rd. We need to ramp up the cleaning of dirty lots and do graffiti abatement. I’ve seen evidence of homeless camps and we need to further check this. If you remember we had a Halls school security guard killed by a man I think who had been living in a homeless camp in the area. “We need to reach out to Keep Knoxville Beautiful and see if they have any more donated paint for graffiti removal and also take advantage their help and of the inmate labor to cut and clean right of ways. We should do anything that

brings legitimate traffic to an otherwise desolate area. The pet park in downtown is a great example. Go by there anytime and take a look. We received a grant from PetSmart for $100k to start it. “I look around Halls and see opportunity. But as an outsider trying to drive in the rain at night it is dark, hard to see anything, and nothing is consistent from street addresses to signage. It looks abandoned in certain places, old and unkempt. I think we could change some of that. Now especially since TDOT is doing all that work. “We desperately need them to get on board with lighting. We do this not only to brighten the place for commerce but also for accident and crime reduction.� Wow! Bobby Hubbs is the captain for Knox County Sheriff J.J. Jones in Halls. We don’t expect all responses to be so comprehensive, but we do need your thoughts. Take and minute and do it now! “Halls Ahead!�

Rabys celebrate 50th anniversary Wayne and Jeanette Mc Millan Raby recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple was married on Good Friday, April 8, 1966, at the home of the Rev. Clyde Helton of Halls. Wayne worked at IT Corp. and UTK, from which he retired. Jeanette graduated from Halls High in 1965. She worked at Palm Beach Co. and Goody’s Family Clothing and is retired. They have a daughter and

Wayne and Jeanette Raby son-in law, Jeniene and Don Atkins.

This has nothing to do with the budget, or the school board. They’re reallocating positions to core subjects. That most recent email from the principal didn’t give all the

information, and it’s important for parents and kids that we are all on the same page.� Rountree requested a side-by-side comparison of class offerings at SouthDoyle Middle School and Bearden Middle School, saying kids in South Knoxville “deserve equal curriculum opportunities.� Requests for responses from the principals were declined.

With grandmother on her mind By Sherri Gardner Howell There was a definite chill in the air for the Knoxville Alzheimer’s Tennessee Walk on Saturday. The setting, however, screamed “Spring,� so participants had little trouble warming up to the cause. Held at the University of Tennessee Gardens off Neyland Drive, the Alzheimer’s Tennessee Walk drew close to 1,000 walkers and several celebrities, including Alzheimer’s Tennessee champions, coach Phillip and Vicky Fulmer and their family and Karns High School’s rising star, Emily Ann Roberts. The Fulmer family threw their support behind the fight against Alzheimer’s more than 10 years ago, and the coach recently shared that the cause is now personal for them as his mother battles the disease. Karns High School student and runner-up in NBC’s “The Voice,� Emily Ann can take a page from the coach’s playbook. She signed on as a Champion of the Cause in honor of her grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s. Emily Ann performed just before the walk began.

in West Knoxville. “It was our first time in Halls, so we may not have done so well,� he said. He mentioned Home Depot as a major sponsor. “Halls is unique,� he said. “It’s a place where people from all walks of life came together on a Saturday to have fun.� Will Marco’s do it again next year? You bet!�

Neyland said Suff was the best he ever saw. Mo was close. The two guards played in a golden era for the Volunteers, 17 consecutive games without permitting a point. Their

teams won 31 and lost two. They will be recognized again on Saturday at the Orange and White game when the school presents an inaugural version of its athletic hall of fame. Cheers. Suffridge and Molinski meshed flawlessly in Neyland’s single wing and the 6-2-2-1. They were devastating blockers and devilish defenders. They were opposites as people. What’s more, they didn’t like each other.

We are told that Molinski thought the happy-go-lucky Suffridge was irresponsible or worse. We know what Suff thought of laws, rules and regulations. You may have read in one of my books about the ol’ Vol visiting the newspaper on a very cold night and walking away with a sportswriter’s overcoat. Neither man came from upper-crust. Bob was born in Union County, moved to Fountain City, played brilliantly at Central High. Ed, born in Scranton, Pa., of Polish immigrants, spent time in an orphanage because his mother died young. He grew up in Massillon, Ohio. The father wanted the son to become heavyweight boxing champion of the world. The legendary Paul Brown wanted him to play football. Then high school

coach and father compromised. Ed was a great guard and boxing champ of Ohio. He was an excellent student at UT. He earned his master’s while still playing. He became an assistant coach at Memphis State and a professor in history and geography. He joined the Marines during World War II and became a second lieutenant. Ed returned to coaching and teaching, this time at Mississippi State, and decided he wanted to be a doctor. He needed a specific chemistry credit to get into med school. It wasn’t offered in Starkville. To keep him on the football staff, the athletic director persuaded the president to create the course. This was a life-changing moment. Molinski later enrolled at UT med school, assisted various Memphis high

school football programs and worked as a security guard at the veterans hospital to pay the bills. When he started his medical practice, he became team doctor for Memphis State and several high schools. In his spare time, he was the professional boxing doctor in town. “He truly loved the medical profession,� said son Chuck Molinski. “He worked at it until his death in 1986.� He was 68. There are dozens of Molinski tales and tidbits. He barely survived a copperhead bite at age 5. As a redshirt sophomore with the Vols, he was a volunteer policeman in Ohio – during the infamous 1937 steel mill strikes. Three people died. Hundreds were injured. His father was a striker. There was a MolinskiSuffridge fight that never

happened. Neyland vetoed it. Ed was captain of the UT boxing team. There was a late evening when Molinski and Suffridge reconnected for a minute, long distance, in an identity crisis. Chuck Molinski remembers it well. “The sheriff’s office in an East Tennessee county called our home and Mom answered. The caller said Ed Molinski was in jail for hitting a restaurant waitress. “Mother looked over at Dad and said ‘My husband is right here next to me. There must be some mistake.’� Upon further investigation, it was found that Suff had told the police he was that famous Tennessee guard, Ed Molinski. If there was a book about the other guard, would you read it? Marvin West invites reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Airport attorney Foster keeps his feet on the tarmac Bruce Foster Jr. came by the legal profession naturally. His grandfather, E.G. Foster, and his father were both attorneys. But the younger Foster didn’t know anything about representing airports before he was hired as attorney for the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority in 1987. He learned on the job, he says. Bruce Foster Sr. settled in Knoxville after law school, and Bruce Foster Jr. was a member of the second class to graduate from West High School. He went on to UT for his bachelor’s and law degrees. He hoped to learn to fly during his Army service, but never had the opportunity. Signing on as airport authority attorney didn’t increase his time in the air. One of the first things he wanted to know after taking the position was if he’d get

Renovations to the terminal, completed in 2000 at a cost of $78 million, were complicated because the airport had to operate while the new terminal was being built on the same footprint.

Veterans The 20th HonorAir flight was scheduled to depart Knoxville this morning (April 13) carrying a plane filled with veterans and volunteers on their way to Washington, D.C. Mike Pettit is one of the veterans on board and is thankful for the opportunity to make the trip. He was at a recent presentation when LifeStar donated a Zoll E Series cardiac monitor to Eddie Mannis of HonorAir for the trips. HonorAir takes veterans, free of charge, to the nation’s capital to see the memorials built to recognize the sacrifices they made for their country. The equipment will allow the paramedics, nurses and physicians who fly with Honor Air to quickly diagnose and treat cardiac emergencies before the arrival of an ambulance. LifeStar personnel ac-

company the group on each trip. Since HonorAir began in 2007, more than 2,500 WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans have taken the free, one-day trip. Medics Matt Owens, Rocky Walker and Kay Kirkland represented LifeStar at the event. Following the presentation, I had the opportunity to chat with Pettit briefly. When asked what he wanted to see the most while in Washington, Pettit got choked up and said that seeing the memorials means a lot to him. He talked a little bit about his service in Vietnam. I learned that he was a graduate of West High

School and the University of Tennessee who learned to fly planes in Knoxville before joining the Air Force, in which he served five years. In Vietnam, Pettit flew a C7A Caribou and remembers flying in dangerous zones, often right at the tops of the tree line. He said Vietnam was a beautiful place but not an ideal place to be in war time. Pettit was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service. Pettit left home when his youngest was just nine months old. His wife would send tapes of the baby and the family talking for him to listen to while overseas. When he finally returned, an older child mentioned dad being home, and that once-young-baby went and

grabbed the tape player – her only knowledge of her dad. And that’s when I choked up. At the end of the donation event, LifeStar gave veterans an opportunity to ride in the helicopter over Knoxville. Pettit jumped at the chance to ride in the cockpit, having flown an aircraft during his military service. I jumped at the chance to ride along and capture pictures of him and of Knoxville so he could remember the day for a long time. When we landed back at the hanger, Pettit and I said our goodbyes and shared a hug. It was truly an honor to have met Mike Pettit and to say thank you for his service to this country.

Studying war and other tales Scholars at the University of Tennessee are preserving war stories from veterans of A m e r i c a ’s conf licts, not from the “top down,� but from Cynthia Tinker the “bottom up,� making UT a national center for the military records of people who actually participated in America’s battles. The Center for the Study of War and Society is collecting letters, diaries, photos, memoirs and small unit histories. Interviewer Cynthia Tinker says it’s a labor-intensive project with World War II research available online at dlxs.lib.utk.edu/f/fa_spc She spoke recently to the North Knoxville Rotary Club at Litton’s. The office is headed by Vejas G. Liulevicius, history professor who also attended. But Tinker, the program coordinator, got both laughs

and maybe a few tears as she read transcripts of the interviews with veterans. She told of one “Forrest Gump� interview – a UT grad in geology who happened along at juncturepoints in history. He was working in Iran and got out just one week before the hostage takeover. He was helped by the Canadians. On his travels he met Queen Frederica, Orson Welles and the Beatles. He ended most statements with, “But I didn’t know who (they) were.� Since the project began in 1984, the UT scholars have received thousands of contributions. “We are always looking for more donations,� said Tinker. To preserve items in UT’s collection, phone 865-9740128 or email csws@utk. edu/ The Center is based in room 220 Hoskins Library. Donors are always welcomed. A special fund memorializing Hop Bailey Jr. has been established.

Most recently, the Center launched a digital veterans oral history project. Audiotapes of 25 years of interviews were digitized and mounted online for the broadest possible dissemination by UT Libraries. The data are available to all, from professional military history authors to high school kids working on a class project. Information can be searched by interviewee, subject, geographic region or other keywords. The Center’s staff have recorded more than 300 hours of veterans’ interviews. It’s history that’s getting away as veterans die. There’s a sense of urgency on the part of the scholars to talk with as many veterans as possible.

Knoxville resident Susan Richardson Williams, a Jeb Bush candidate for delegate on March 1, was appointed as an alternate for Donald Trump by the GOP state committee at its April 2 meeting. Williams has served on the UT Board of Trustees, TVA Board of Directors and as commissioner of personnel under Gov. Lamar Alexander. She will serve along with former state Sen. Stacey Campfield as an alternate for Trump. Other Knoxville residents going to the GOP national convention as delegates and alternates include former Sheriff Tim Hutchinson for Trump, Sam Maynard for Trump, Ken Gross for Trump, Karen Brown alternate for Cruz, this writer for Rubio, Michael Hensley for Rubio, Party chair Ryan Haynes for Rubio, Ted Hatfield alternate for Trump, Mike Arms alternate for Rubio and Gov. Bill Haslam for Rubio. Former Knoxville resident and UT student body president Steve Gill is a Cruz delegate. The convention opens on July 18 in Cleveland. State Sen. Mae Beavers, from Sumner County (Middle Tennessee) or state Sen. Bill Ketron are being widely discussed Mae Beavers as the possible chairs of the Tennessee delegation. Beavers is a Trump delegate who won the most votes statewide. She would be the first woman to chair a Tennessee Republican delegation at a national convention. The chair is elected by the full delegation and a majority are delegates pledged to Trump. Ketron is also a Trump delegate. â– Meanwhile on the Democratic side, Mayor Madeline Rogero, after staying silent for months on her preference between Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has now come out in favor of Clinton by seeking to be a delegate for her. Knox County Democrats in the March 1 primary split almost evenly between Clinton and Sanders with Clinton carrying Knox County by only 900 votes. If Clinton is elected President, Rogero is expected to take a position in her Ad-

Victor Ashe

ministration in 2017 or 2018. Her term as mayor expires in December 2019, and she is ineligible to seek a third term. Being a delegate for Clinton would be a political boost for her to win a job with Clinton. ■Some Knox County Democrats are disappointed and unhappy over Rogero forcing Tank Strickland to resign his position with the city after working for four mayors. Strickland has been an active Democrat over the years, the first African-American to chair the Knox County Commission and a Democrat elected by a bipartisan coalition. He also had a kidney transplant and is in his 60s. Rogero had never voiced any dissatisfaction with Strickland’s job performance during her first term but apparently had not forgiven Strickland for supporting Haslam over her for mayor in 2003. ■Hugh Nystrom, GOP County Commission nominee, had a backyard barbecue at his Westmoreland home a few days ago to thank supporters for his substantial primary victory and to encourage them to continue the effort to the Aug. 4 general election against Democrat Marleen Davis. Over 100 persons attended including county Trustee Ed Shouse and Ann Bailey, sister of Gov. Bill Haslam. ■One really has to admire Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey’s willingness to depart on his own from the second highest office in Tennessee state government after 24 years of service. John Wilder never did it. Many public officials overstay their time. Ramsey leaves on a high note and the voters had not discharged him from further service. Ramsey made a difference in government and has been a very effective leader of the Senate. Sen. Randy McNally, who represents part of Knox County, is mentioned as the likely next Speaker of the Senate. He would be the first Anderson Countian to be lieutenant governor and a heartbeat away from the governor’s office. ■The Legislature is expected to adjourn for the 2016 session by the end of next week at the latest.

Lewis Frelan Goddard, was born on May 9, 1924, in Proctor, Vermont. His parents were Carlyle J., then employed in the Vermont marble industry, and Elva Emmons Goddard. The Goddards moved to Knox County in April 1927 and Carlyle Goddard was employed as a draftsman and later as an engineer for a series of marble and construction companies. Frelan first attended grade school at Park City Lowry but completed eighth grade at Smithwood Grammar School. He became active in Harry Metcalf’s Boy Scout Troop 25 when he became 12 years old. An early interest in bird study soon made him an expert in identification of many species and he even developed an ability to nurse sick and injured birds back to health. He matriculated at Central High School in 1939 and continued his interest in the outdoors by his membership in the Hiking Club each of the four years, serving as its president for two years. With World War II capturing the attention of high school seniors in 1942-1943, he joined the enlisted reserves in the Army Signal Corps. In January 1943, he was sent to the Lafayette Trade School in Lexington, Ky. Upon completion of the course in July, he was assigned to Camp Crowder, Mo. In their long-range planning for the largest seaborne invasion in history, cross-channel invasion of Europe which would occur on D-Day, Tuesday, June 6, 1944, the Allied commanders realized the French Resistance movement, the

They could stymie the German defenses by destroying the highways, bridges and railroads needed to rapidly move reinforcements to the front. One of the first clandestine branches of the infant OSS (Office of Strategic Services), the predecessor of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), was an operation code-named Operation Jedburgh. Some of the “Jeds� later became CIA directors, including William “Wild Bill� Donovan and William Colby. Recruiters were sent out far and wide to ask for volunteers. Eventually the elite group would number 92 teams with 276 men, 83 of them Americans. Each three-man team was made up of an American or British officer, a French officer and an enlisted radio operator to maintain communications and to coordinate with the central command back in Britain. The teams would parachute into German-occupied France and rendezvous with the Maquis and re-supply them with arms, ammunition, food and other supplies. Although they were told they were to be a top-secret group assigned to extremely dangerous missions, they

Intriguing merger By Cindy Taylor Holston Hills resident, the Rev. Elizabeth Peterson, has pastored Fourth United Presbyterian Church since 2011. Peterson grew up in the Presbyterian Church. “I began working as a youth director with middle and senior high school students right out of college,� she said. “Since I had done this in the past, the call to continue working with youth was a natural fit.� Peterson received a B.S. in Anthropology from Sewanee and earned a Master of Music in Opera Performance from Washington University in St. Louis.

Since then, the other two pastors have moved and retired from ministry. She says the merger is what drew her to take the position. “I liked the idea of new church development. I loved the idea of a white and a black congregation actually merging into one. It’s hard for any church to agree to merge because of territorial sentiments and inertia.

Biblical truth in rhyme By Cindy Taylor The Rev. John Broom says he committed his life to Christ in 1958 after watching a Billy Graham film while living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. At 18, he began his career as a preacher at the University of Grahamstown, South Africa. “After my years at University, where I met my wife Elaine, we both sensed the call of God on our lives for full-time service,� said Broom. Broom says God had other plans before sending them out in ministry. Broom entered the business world as a young executive in Pretoria, South Africa while Elaine taught in primary schools.

challenges of the apartheid government and its injustices that disadvantaged so many of our people,� he said. “Then in 1976 God called us back to the land of my birth, Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe) which was embroiled in a civil war.�

Broom says it was while in Zimbabwe that their association with Southern Baptist missionaries began (and it continues to this day). The couple started a ministry to grow missional churches. “That has been our passion as we have watched God raise up some stunning ministries including HIV AIDS ministries and prison ministries.� The couple were asked to serve at Smithwood Baptist Church for five months in 2011 by long-time friend Dr. David Crutchley, who pastored Smithwood at the time.

T. S. Eliot was right. April will break your heart. There are, so I’m told, people who are sad in the autumn. Death, they claim: the dying year. The leaves turn gold and russet and scarlet, and then fall to the earth. Winter will be next, they say. I am a child of the autumn, so it is life to me: sparkling skies and rustling leaves and cool evenings and a fire in the fireplace. April, on the other hand, always makes me sad. I have no idea why that is. There have been many happy occasions in April throughout my life – my brother Warren’s April birthday, the birth of my daughter Eden, my marriage to my wonderful Lewis and his own April birthday – but there is an ache around the heart that I can’t define. Maybe it is the beauty of the reborn world, the

freshness and the promise, the flowers and the budding trees. I love the dogwoods, with their nail-scarred petals, and the redbuds which flower into the purple of the mocked King’s robe. Maybe part of my ache is our own American history: the Civil War began in April, and ended four years later in April. I spent two years of my life just outside Gettysburg, steeped in the reality of those haunted battlegrounds. My father’s younger brother learned of my brother’s April birth while in a foxhole on Okinawa. Eliot was right!

S.O.R. Losers Story So Far: South Orange River Middle School has created a special seventhgrade soccer team for a bunch of guys who have no interest in sports. Ed Sitrow, unwillingly designated goaltender, tells what happens. The ride to Buckingham Junior High’s soccer field the next day was strange. We were not the only team going. Two other soccer teams, our regular eighth-grade team as well as the sixth-grade team, were on the bus. Everyone sat with their own group. The other kids were all moody, worried, like they were playing the game in their heads. As for us, we were relaxed, looking out windows, telling jokes, talking about this and

that. I mean nobody wanted to even think about what was going to happen. Then, when we arrived, the other kids jumped to their feet all excited, with lots of laughing, shouting, pounding each other on backs, like they wanted to get out. Now it was our turn to sit moody and glum. The bus driver turned around and looked at us. We were the only ones left. “Hey, guys, this is it.” “Can’t we go to the next stop?” asked Porter. The bus driver thought the remark was a joke. We didn’t. So it was that on a chilly, gray September afternoon we stepped from the bus and

slouched toward the Buckingham field. The leaves were just beginning to turn. Our stomachs already had. Right then and there, I knew why I was opposed to capital punishment. I not only wanted to live, I firmly believed I was innocent. We all were. Our only crime was that we didn’t like sports much. Worse, we actually preferred other things. Not everything. Some things. For example, Saltz was keen on his writing, and only okay in biology. Lifsom was gung-ho about art, but his grades were generally just so-so. Fairly normal. Or so we thought. Watching football, rooting for teams, stuff like that, just wasn’t important to us. True, Fenwick was a whiz at poker, and claimed that was a sport, but he didn’t get much support. You’d think not being into sports was antihuman, or worse, un-American. How? By the notion that playing sports isn’t fun. Fun. It reminded me of a class trip to the A.S.P.C.A. Someone asked a woman there if they ever had to kill an animal. “Oh, no,” she said with a big smile, “we just put them into a long, long sleep.” After two practices, we could tell that we were heading into a long, long sleep. When we got to the field, the Buckingham team was already lying in wait. Mr. Lester went to speak to the other coach. Maybe to warn him. As he left, he said, “Get yourselves ready.” Get ready? Get lost is what we wanted to do. Out in the middle of the field, the referee was showing off, kicking the soccer ball up in the air with alternate feet and never once letting it touch the ground. We watched. “Think he’s open to a bribe?” wondered Hays. “Why not just get him for our team?” Saltz said. “Do an exchange,” offered Radosh. “We’ll ref. He’ll play.” “Sure,” said Porter, “but then we’d have to know the rules.” Porter had a point. Then we watched the Buckingham team. They were kicking the ball to each other as if it were on a guide wire. “I think they know how to play,” said Root, clearly upset by the possibility. “Maybe we should ask for lessons, instead of a game,” put in Dorman. With that, we all started to laugh. And couldn’t stop. Mr. Lester hurried back. When he saw us in the midst of our fit, he got worried. “Is something the matter?” he asked. “Root here,” said Hays, “had this idea that we were going to play those guys. It broke us up.” “Why, yes,” said Mr. Lester, perfectly serious. “They are the opposing team.” “What are they, all-stars?” asked Eliscue. “Oh, no,” said Mr. Lester, alarmed. “It’s their third-string seventh-grade team. Perhaps, gentlemen, you should warm up.”

“When you’re cold, you’re cold,” said Barish. It was such a bad joke we stopped laughing. “Does everybody know what position he is playing?” asked Mr. Lester. We did, sort of. During the second practice, book in hand, he had placed us around, but I wasn’t sure of the position names, except goaltender. “Now,” said Mr. Lester, “remember the important thing is to . . .” Then, so help me, he forgot what he was going to say. But Mr. Lester was, if nothing else, prepared. Right off, he went to his pocket and pulled out some papers. Notes. “Ah, yes,” he said, and began to read. “It’s important to concentrate. Learn to meet the ball. And, gentlemen, the most important thing of all is—” We never did learn the most important thing of all. The referee blew his whistle. The Buckingham team gathered, their blue jerseys merging into a storm cloud. Out came a thunderous cheer. If that cheer was meant to show us that, although a third-string team, they were real and strong and feeling victorious, that we had every reason to expect defeat, it worked. “How about us doing a cheer?” suggested Mr. Lester. “Shazam,” said Lifsom. Not only was he the only one who said anything, it didn’t work. We were still us. We sort of backed onto the field. Lifsom, who was playing up front in the middle, shook hands with the opposite Buckingham players. Maybe they decided to be nice to us. Anyway, it was our ball for starters. As for myself, I was strolling around in the goal area trying to remember everything I knew about the rules, which wasn’t much. How far could I go? I felt certain I could kick the ball, but on second thought, as well as third through seventh, I wasn’t sure. Was I allowed to touch the ball with my hands or just my elbows? Did knees count? Things like that. In fact, I was pacing along the newly chalked goal lines, with my back to the field, when the whistle blew. I looked up, wondering what had gone wrong. What had gone wrong was, the game had begun. Now, the way it works, I think, or is supposed to work, is that Lifsom, being up front and middle, sort of kicks the ball back toward our side — at the moment it was Barish who was behind him — and away we would go. But to give you a full sense of how the game went, all I can say is that somewhere, somehow, between the time the ball touched Lifsom’s foot — I think it was his foot, because, as I said, I hadn’t been watching — and the time it was supposed to reach Barish, Buckingham had already stolen the ball. They didn’t just steal it. They kept it. Forever. When I looked up, I saw this wall of storm-blue shirts rolling down the field, in my direction! (To be continued.)

He spoke with them briefly about his Kindness Revolution before heading out to spend a few minutes with student Mason Welch. Mason is described as a quiet student, and one of his teachers thought a visit from his favorite wrestler would motivate and encourage Mason in class. Mason is pictured showing Kane all of the photos he has of the wrestler on his laptop. Although Mason isn’t showing a big smile on the outside, his teacher said that she knows he’s smiling big on the inside. Photo by R. White

A team of students from Gresham Middle School worked to design an experiment through the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program’s (SSEP) Mission 7 to the International Space Station (ISS) during the 2014-2015 schoolyear. Their experiment was chosen through a national review at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, completed the NASA Flight Safety Review, and was integrated into the payload on a SpaceX-7 rocket bound for the ISS. The team traveled to Cape Canaveral, Fla. in late June 2015 to

witness the launch, which unfortunately malfunctioned upon liftoff causing the rocket (and their experiment) to explode. On April 8 the GMS project launched again aboard SSEP M7 Odyssey II on SpaceX CRS-8. Gresham team members Keagan Cross, Molly Hensley, Haley Hill, Hanson Lam, Katherine Redden and Andrew Starling worked in collaboration with professors and graduate students from the UT Knoxville, Food Sciences Department; UT Knoxville’s Biochemistry Department and Maryville College.

River’s Edge close to launch By Betsy Pickle One of the South Waterfront’s most intensely questioned and closely watched new residential projects is nearly complete, and the reality sets a high standard for future development along the south side of the Tennessee River. River’s Edge Apartments, 1701 Island Home Ave., is sprinting toward its finish after several years of neighborhood concerns and many months of construction and road closures. There will be an open house 12-7 p.m. Friday, April 29, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, April 30, with a move-in date of May 31. “People can come by, look at units, have a beer with us and hang out,� says Mark Taylor, president of Dominion Development Group, which constructed and is managing the property. The beer will come from Alliance Brewing Co. on nearby Sevier Avenue. River’s Edge is offering a couple of promotions for early birds. The first 50 people to move in “get a pretty significant discount� off the first month’s rent, Taylor says. The first 100 people to move in will receive a Legacy Parks membership for a year. “We’re excited about getting this place full and vibrant quickly,� he says. Several apartments have already been reserved. The leasing office will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-12 Saturdays be-

Rotarians team with PSCC choir Dr. Allen Edwards and Dr. Anthony Wise have a few things in common. Edwards is president emeritus of Pellissippi State Community College. Wise is the college’s current president. Both are members of the Rotary Club of Knoxville. Both accompanied the college’s choir, Variations, on an eight-day trip to Lima, Peru, and helped raise money for a project for the Lima Sunrise Rotary Club. Rotary is about making connections at home and abroad and this was a 3,345-mile connection between Knoxville and Lima Rotarians. It was the ninth trip for the 34-voice college choir, there from March 4-12. One of the choir’s seven performances was a benefit concert for the Lima Sunrise club. The club is helping establish a rural center outside of Lima to help young boys with behavioral

problems. The Lima club has only 25 members and the benefit raised $1,000, a huge sum for such a small club, Edwards said. The Lima Sunrise Rotary is an English-speaking club. The choir also did a benefit concert for the Union Church of Lima for its organ fund. The choir is directed by Meagan Langford, interim choral director. “The students had wonderful experiences. They learned a lot about Rotary and about service projects,� Edwards said. The choir’s repertoire consists of classical religious music, American

folk music, popular music, and African American spiritual music. They have performed at some famous locations in their nine years of travel – at The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, The BasĂ­lica of La sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Berlinerdom in BerlĂ­n. They have been to Portgual, China, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Germany, France twice and now Peru. Both Edwards and Wise were overwhelmed by the hospitality of fellow Rotarians, including Lima club president Dario Gastelo. “The entire tour was a great success with large audiences of school children and adults throughout the week. One of the highlights was the trip to Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan ceremonial site which has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO,â€? Edwards said.

native Sarah Moore has always been interested in art, but she didn’t realize she wanted to be a full time artist until she was half Sarah Moore way through graduate school. When working on architectural drawings, Moore says she would find herself thinking about her passion for painting and drawing. “There’s never a moment when I’m painting that I’d rather be drawing a building,� she says with a laugh. She decided to switch her focus and she hasn’t looked back. She now works for a nonprofit in South Carolina while nurturing her career as an artist. Envision Gallery in Bearden at 4050 Sutherland

Avenue will host Moore’s solo exhibition “Find Ourselves� April 22 through May 20. An opening reception will be held 5-8 p.m. Friday, April 22. Refreshments and wine will be served, and a violinist will perform. Moore’s paintings are done in acrylics and feature nature, people and travel. “I learned to paint in oil like most artists, but it didn’t dry quickly enough for me,� she says. Moore also creates drawings from India ink and fine art markers. They will be included in the show as well. It isn’t a coincidence the show’s opening falls on Earth Day. “Find Ourselves’ reminds us that the root of our existence is the natural environment, and the celebration of that existence is the tie we spend with those we love,� says a press release about the exhibition.

creased from last month, but only by about $11 million. Approximately $291 million was loaned against real estate during March. Last March saw just over $342 million in mortgage loans and refi nancing. There were two commercial property sales of note. One involved the transfer of a residential complex known as The Elements at Cedar Bluff, which sold for just under $6.8 million. The other was the sale of the Sunflower Apartments located off Middlebrook Pike for $7.1 million. The largest mortgage recorded in March was $10.8 million, financing units in The Tennessean Condominium near the World’s Fair Park. Overall analysis of the first quarter’s activity looks similar – but better – than that of last year. January through March has produced 2,495 property transfers this year, compared to 2,193 during the first three months of 2015. This quarter has seen about $531 million worth of land sold in Knox County, some $16 million ahead of the 2015 first quarter levels.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Vascular surgery helps Knoxville resident step out with confidence She had always enjoyed walking, but last summer Mary Hurt had to slow her pace considerably. The Knoxville resident had begun having extreme pain in her calves. “I had problems walking any distance, and I thought I was out of shape – so I tried to walk more,” the Knoxville resident said. “But my calves would cramp after two blocks, and then one block.” A physician friend of hers noted that her problem might be intermittent claudication, Hurt said. “And he said I should see a doctor about it.” Intermittent (meaning the pain comes and goes), and claudication (from the Latin “claudicare,” meaning “to limp”) is a condition in which pain and cramping in the leg is induced by exercise. It is typically caused by obstruction of the arteries. Like the arteries of the heart, small arteries in the legs can develop clots that block the flow of blood. This robs the muscles of oxygen and the result is tired, painful legs. The condition typically gets worse with exercise and better with rest. The reduction in blood flow may be caused by a temporary spasm of the artery or by a permanent artery narrowing due to a build-up of fatty deposits in the blood. The condition is quite common, affecting about one to two percent of the population under age 60 and five percent of people over 65. Hurt went to a vascular surgeon who performed angioplasty in her right leg. An angioplasty is a procedure in which an inflatable balloon is inserted in the artery to improve blood flow. But, within months of the procedure, the pain in Hurt’s legs returned. “I missed going on a trip because I couldn’t feel my toes; they were getting numb every time I walked. I wasn’t getting

I could not walk to my mailbox without being in so much pain, remembers Hurt. Hurt sought another surgeon and received a recommendation for Deanna Nelson, MD, a vascular surgeon on staff at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “I went to see her almost immediately,” Hurt said. Dr. Nelson scheduled Hurt to be the first patient at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center’s new “hybrid” operating room, a space that combines a traditional surgical suite with real-time CT and X-ray imaging equipment to bring a state-of-the-art experience to surgery patients. Among other things, it features the Artis zeego multiaxis imaging system, which delivers highdefinition 3D images for the surgeon. Before her procedure began, Hurt said she was able to look around the new room. “The hybrid operating room is really some-

Q & A with Deanna L. Nelson, MD Q

Who is at risk for claudication? ◊ Smoking ◊ Diabetes ◊ Overweight ◊ Sedentary lifestyle ◊ High cholesterol

A

– I am originally from Asheville, N. C., but I went to undergraduate school in Vermont, and medical school and residency at the University of Vermont Medical Center. I did a fellowship in vascular surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. My husband’s family is still outside Asheville. So we wanted to come to Knoxville to get out of the snow! Actually, I really enjoyed our one snow this year.

◊ High blood pressure ◊ Family history of atherosclerosis or claudication ◊ Older age (55 for men, 60 for women)

Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and seeing your doctor.

What are the symptoms related to claudication? Claudication itself is a symptom of a narrowing or blockage of an artery. Typical characteristics of claudication include:

Q – What’s your clinical expertise? A – I am board certified in general

surgery, with expertise in endovascular surgery, vascular surgery, vascular access and varicose veins.

Q

– Why did you want to bring the Artis zeego system to Fort Sanders Regional Deanna L. Nelson, MD Medical Center?

A

high.” Hurt said she would recommend Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to anyone facing vascular surgery. “The nurses and staff were extremely caring, careful, conscientious and very professional. And I’m not saying that for any other reason than it’s true,” said Hurt. “I’m walking way more than before, and I had not been able to walk any distance at all for four months. It had gotten very limiting, but I’m doing everything normally now,” she said. “My father always said to get a second opinion. I’m glad I did. Dr. Nelson has courage. Her spirit and attitude were so ‘cando,’ – and I love that!” For more information about vascular surgery at Fort Sanders Regional, please call 673-FORT.

Risk factors for claudication include:

– Tell us a little bit about yourself. What brought you to Knoxville?

– I had used the Artis zeego system at Cleveland Clinic, and in my opinion it’s the best system. It’s top of the line, and was installed last fall. It’s fairly complicated to use, but the imaging is wonderful, it allows

thing else to see. It’s incredible,” she said. “My father was chief of staff at Fort Sanders Presbyterian Hospital in the 1970s and it was so wonderful to see this new technology.” Hurt’s procedure lasted more than four hours, with Dr. Nelson placing a total of five stents, tiny tubes to prop the artery open, in her legs. “She was just so determined to really fi x the problem,” said Hurt. “When I woke up I had stents in both my legs, and she had opened up my arteries in my calf area with angioplasty.” Hurt stayed just 12 hours in the hospital and was home that evening. “I was so much better just one week later. I’m like a new person,” Hurt said. “It’s huge – it’s absolutely miraculous! I think very highly of Dr. Nelson; she is something wonderful. Her excellence level is amazingly

us to do a lot of special things and yet exposes patients and staff to much less radiation. The hybrid operating room allows us to be faster, more precise and less invasive, which is better for patients.

◊ Pain, a burning feeling, or a tired sensation in the legs and buttocks while walking ◊ Shiny, hairless, blotchy foot skin that may get sores ◊ Paleness in the limb when elevated and reddened when lowered

◊ Cold feet ◊ Impotence in men ◊ Leg pain that occurs at night when in bed ◊ Pain that occurs at rest may be a sign of increasing severity of arterial disease in the leg(s)

The symptoms related to claudication may look like other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
