Clear Springs Baptist celebrates new building By Shannon Carey More than 1,000 attendees gathered May 1 to celebrate the first church service in Clear Springs Baptist’s new building and sanctuary near Harbison’s Crossroads in Gibbs. The church family met that morning at their former location on Thompson School Road and paraded in cars to the new campus. “As we passed by Fairview Baptist Church, Pastor Jeff LaBorg and his entire congregation were standing outside cheering us on,� said Bobbie Wyatt, the church’s media director. “It was an incredible, awesome sight to see. Tears

overflowed in both church families.� Once they arrived at the new church, Clear Springs had a true worship service, with the Rev. Jerry Vittatoe bringing the message. Four people joined the church that day. “Most importantly, we witnessed one precious lady give her heart to the Lord in salvation,� said Wyatt. “Even though our church is 119 years old, and we have seen thousands of people over the years be saved, this was a very special moment for us and the history of our church. The first in our new building and on our new campus.�

Sidewalk study shows needs in school zones By Sandra Clark Mayor Madeline Rogero called for $2.7 million for sidewalks and crosswalks across the city, when she presented her budget last week, including $750,000 for sidewalks within school Parental Responsibility Zones and another $750,000 for new sidewalk construction. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will present his budget Monday, May 9. We’ll see then what he proposes. Regardless, sidewalks present a dilemma – residents at planning meetings consistently request them; some like those in West Hills even rally at 7 a.m. to demonstrate the need for sidewalks. Yet sidewalks are a low budget priority for decision-makers, almost at the bottom of the wants and needs list. A January 2014 study prepared for the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works by Transportation Consultants Inc. identified locations within the county having the greatest potential and actual usage of walk-toschool trips. The study showed 22,322 of Knox County’s 59,276 students live within the Parental Responsibility Zones where bus transportation is not provided. Using a complex formula, planners determined the top schools

for walkers if sidewalks were in- 5:30 p.m., 4614 Asheville Highway 9045 Cross Park Drive stalled.

Seems sensible, yet Knox County has built sidewalks over the past 3-4 years at Halls Elementary and from Karns Elementary to Karns Middle – both areas where political pressure was intense and neither was on the priority list. Just a thought, but why not drop by to chat with Burchett at one of his nine meetings over two days following his budget presentation.

The new $8 million worship center is situated on 30 acres near the intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike. It is the first part of a three-phase building plan, to eventually include a family life center and an education facility. “We believe God planted this vision for a new church in our hearts, and he has opened each door we’ve walked through at just the right time,� said Vittatoe. “We are an exciting family of believers who have a heart for sharing Christ, both globally, and here at home.�

Historic hamlet

On April 24, some lucky folks stepped back in time with the 26th annual Historic Fourth and Gill Tour of Homes. Less than two miles from downtown Knoxville, the historic area features more than 250 residential structures. Many locals and former residents spent the gorgeous day strolling amongst beautifully restored early 1900s Craftsman style homes and bungalows. “The Fourth and Gill neighborhood is one of them up and threw them Knoxville’s premier hisback in the dryer before he toric districts,� said Jenny realized what he was doing.

A lot of men don’t socialize as much as women,� she said. “I would just say ‘do it.’ As long as you’re safe and aware of things, nothing’s going to happen, and something good might happen.� Hill’s book is available through Amazon.com. She is also planning a signing party at the Winery at Seven Springs Farm in Maynardville 5 p.m. Friday, June 3. Info: facebook.com/ SunnyKayHill

No regrets for ‘serial dater’ Sonja Hill By Shannon Carey Knoxville native Sonja Hill isn’t shy about her dating habits. After two marriages, a daughter and two grandkids, she’s not looking for marriage. She just likes socializing and having a good time. “If a long-term relationship comes out of it, that’s great,� she said. “But if not, I’ll be just as content.� She started visiting online dating sites in 2000, and over the years she’s amassed stories humorous and touching. And now, she’s sharing those stories in her new book, “I Shaved my Legs for This?! Memoir of a Serial Dater,� published under her pen name, Sunny Kay Hill. Her release party will be held 5:30 to 10 p.m. Sunday, May 7, at Blue Coast Grill on Market Square. Hill will be signing the books, but you can also get signatures from people who appear in the books, including former love interests. That’s right, Hill doesn’t hold a grudge, and she likes to keep on good terms with the people she dates. People at the party who have appeared in the book will have special nametags with the page number of “their� chapters. “I have a lot of guys that I’ve met online that we’re best friends now. I’m not a negative person, so if it doesn’t work out I’m not go-

ing to hate somebody,� she said. F o r years, Hill’s f r iend s encouraged her to write a book about Sonja Hill her wacky and amazing dating experiences, so she kept notes and worked on an outline. “Two years ago, I got serious,� she said. “And by serious I mean nights and weekends. I really didn’t think I was publishing a book. It’s all kind of surreal.� Readers will enjoy tales of embarrassing errors in dating communication, run-ins with boyfriends’ mothers, and living a romantic dream by meeting a man at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There’s even the story of the handsome clothes dryer repair guy who opened her dryer and a pair of lacy underpants fell out. He picked

Making them cry, leaving them laughing What do we do and why do we do it? Betty Bean spoke last week to Dr. Mark Harmon’s UT journalism class. She brought the final copy of the old Knoxville Journal. There’s a staff picture on the front page. Bean stands alone, far in the back, not quite part of the gang but still there as the proud old daily coughed and folded. “Tell those kids to study for a job with a future,� I advised; but I know she didn’t. Bean is a true believer. Also last week, a reader from Halls wrote in part ... “Please forward – as I type this through the tears still on my cheeks – my thanks and appreciation to Betty Bean for her article, ‘A Killing at Danny Mayfield Park.’ “Not being a Knoxville native, I found it to be not only an outstanding piece of history but an opportunity for my own heart’s reflection on faith, gratitude, compassion and caring.� I forwarded the email to Bean with a note: “You’ve made another one cry.� Bean later said she had expected readers to cry: “I was crying when I wrote it.� So for every person who calls to complain about our delivery system, another calls to request delivery or extra copies. Very few write to thank us, and that’s OK. We’re already out chasing the next story.

What we do The Shopper News team publishes eight unique newspapers weekly. Roughly half of the content is consistent, while the rest is unique to each zone. I’m the overall editor and “last eyes� on each page before it’s printed.

A sample of this week’s work: North, South, East, West

What’s next? Also, I coordinate government and business coverage, manage the columnists and go boldly where most reporters fear to tread: MPC sector meetings. North: Shannon Carey coordinates local content for Halls/Fountain City (our oldest paper), Powell, Union County and North/East (our newest zone). Ruth White, a Shopper veteran, covers our North kids beat, takes most cover photos and generally gets around the area, assisted by Cindy Taylor. West: Sherri Gardner Howell coordinates local content for Bearden, Farragut, Karns/Hardin Valley and South Knox. Sara Barrett covers the West kids beat, takes photos and fills in when Sherri travels. Betsy Pickle covers South, while Wendy Smith covers Bearden. Newer writers are Carolyn Evans, Farragut, and Nancy Anderson, Karns/Hardin Valley. Graphics: Carol Springer, Kathryn Woycik and Jodi Littleton put the pages together. In addition, Jodi manages our website.

As the former Scripps papers are assimilated into the USA Today network, we will change. Shopper pages will be produced by p a g i n at ion software. The classified pages already are. The web site will be more robust with easyto-search digital archives. We will always be c h a l lenge d to do more with less. L u c k i l y, the Shopper does that well – having started with a pencil and a drop box.

Shopper News is leading efforts to develop Powell Station Park. At top, seniors enjoy a school-sponsored cookout at the park. Home Depot guys donate picnic tables. Halls High principal Mark Duff captures the pride of all parents at graduation as he hugs his daughter, Morgan.

So what? You keep reading and we’ll keep writing. That’s our bargain.

Betty Bean features Brian McDaniel, who crafted the Knoxville montage above; and yes, that’s the MPC northwest county sector plan meeting at right.

Betty Bean The last-minute ditching of the year-end tests, ironically known as TNReady (and before that, TCAP), has angered and confused parents from Memphis to Mountain City, and here at home, the impending superintendent swap of James McIntyre for interim Buzz Thomas will happen against a backdrop of long-running turmoil at schools like Bearden High as controversy over the once-stellar girls softball program enters year two. A formal ethics hearing is scheduled for June 6 to deal with a complaint filed by two former Bearden softball booster club parents who have gotten stuck with the cost of a new indoor batting facility, and the Shopper News has learned that a second complaint, triggered by an email principal John Bartlett sent to faculty members accusing former softball team members of ridiculing and booing the coach and team at scrimmage games, is being prepared by another parent. This complaint will allege that Bartlett’s accusation is false and that at least one

Rogero lags on MPC choices

At the end of last week, Bearden’s record (excluding practice games) was 1-15. Meanwhile, many former players with hopes of playing in college have joined the Tennessee White Lightning, a travel team that plays against high-level competition in North Georgia and is coached by Sams. Their record stands at 15-71. In addition to Bartlett, the first ethics complaint names Superintendent James McIntyre, Bearden athletic director and assistant principal Nathan Lynn and KCS director of facilities management Doug Dillingham. Speaking through KCS’s office of public affairs, Bartlett said he sent the email to his staff “to address concerns brought to him and the administration by parents and players.�

Worrying about Battle at Bristol No doubt you have been worrying for weeks about the upcoming Battle at Bristol. What if the Hokies upset the Volunteers and derail the exciting run toward the national championship before it really begins? Oh, you say the big game hasn’t even entered your mind? You have been wondering if somebody can catch the ball if Joshua Dobbs throws down the field? And you are somewhat interested in how bad is Jalen Reeves-Maybin’s bum shoulder and whether Tennessee can win the fourth quarter against Florida and Alabama? OK, be that way. Virginia Tech people are probably losing sleep over the big BB (that’s short for Bristol Battle). “We are aware of the big game on our schedule,� said Chester R. Henderlight, my favorite Hokie. “We’ve never played Notre Dame before. Does it snow before Thanksgiving in South Bend?� Well, imagine that. With the countdown to the really big September kickoff in days-hours-minutes-and-seconds mode, in

flashing lights no less, are we to believe the Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol is an incidental novelty, a gimmick game, largest crowd in the history of football, great video hub named Colossus, a massive show that few will see up close and in person – without a telescope? This can’t be. Bristol Motor Speedway is expecting 150,000 paying customers. Think about that – parking, gate receipts, concessions, souvenirs, extra for seat backs. Curiosity about football in the middle of a race track guarantees ESPN/ABC a worldwide TV audience. Performance Racing Network will scatter the radio broadcast to all four turns and far beyond. Multitudes will undoubtedly be up on the edge of their beds or recliners, depending on the hour of the day or night (to

be determined). There will be a variety of promotional links – NASCAR drivers talking about end sweeps, lavish charity dinner, Phillip Fulmer and ex-Vols in a golf tournament, large displays in 650 fuel stops, a really big deal. Big Jim Haslam, chief Pilot, will no doubt discuss his connections if asked, tackle times as a Volunteer and how his first gas station just happened to be in Gate City, Va., not far from Bristol. I’m telling you, this is a major event. Combatants are expecting to race home with more than $4 million per school (to apply toward campus safety and women’s sports). Tennessee fans have every reason to be excited about the upcoming season. It projects as the best in a decade, top 10 ranking, SEC East plaque all but inscribed. Butch Jones has brilliant playmakers, experience at most every position and finally decent depth. He has supposedly strengthened his staff. No excuses, this is it.

baseball and lacrosse. KYS reached 2,000 youth a year in the program. KYS also includes baseball, softball, flag football and basketball. The KYS budget has been from $500,000 to $750,000 a year. KYS helped rebuild the soccer fields at Lakeshore Park and Ruggles Field was added. He says it was “the best job of my life.� Christensen says “retirement� is not part of his future. He is simply moving from one phase of his life to the next. He wants to be involved in something that impacts Knoxville. KYS has been a major player in youth activities in Knoxville and Christensen was a pivotal part of making that happen. ■Mike Chase, founder and owner of Calhoun’s, Copper Cellar and Chesapeake’s, says that the city revamping of Cumberland Avenue, which will last another year and a half, is costing his Copper Cellar restaurant on Cumberland over $1 million in sales. This does not include the lost city, county and state sales tax that could have been generated by customers. ■Rickey Hall, UT vice chancellor for diversity, is searching for a new job anywhere. He has been a finalist at three places. Clearly his UT days are numbered. With Chancellor Cheek expected to retire this year as he reaches 70, Susan Martin is retiring as provost Aug. 1, and Margie Nichols is leaving the chancellor’s office. In a month it will be a new operation by the start of 2017. Can Athletic Director Dave Hart, who instigated the Lady Vols name change, be far behind? Phil Fulmer is speculated as a new UT athletic director. ■State personnel held an explanatory meeting on the new $160 million state museum in Nashville here in Knoxville at Pellissippi State on April 12. It was poorly attended with only 18 citizens showing up who were not state employees or consultants. Notice of the meeting was spotty. People were surprised to learn that the new museum has 11,000 less square footage in exhibit space than the current one being replaced. Advocates of the new museum say it will be much better configured.

sons. The Hokies traded in old-time coach Frank Beamer for bright, younger Justin Fuente, the man who made Memphis the talk of his town. For years, Tech people had wanted an innovative offense. Fuente brings it. Enthusiastic followers say the Hokies will no longer be boring, predictable and reluctant to adjust. I had no idea Virginia Tech was that bad. I had not followed closely. I was aware that the Hokies won the Independence Bowl in overtime. It seems to me the Battle at Bristol demands sharper focus. It will be a once-ina-lifetime presentation. To the best of my knowledge, in the history of college football, there has never been a big game in the middle of a steep-banked, concrete race track. Could be nothing like this will ever happen again. Do what? You say East Tennessee State and Western Carolina are going to play on the same field a week later? Oh my.

Has Mayor Rogero forgotten the Metropolitan Planning Commission? Or does she care? It is now 10 months since three city vacancies occurred on MPC (starting July 1, 2015). Those are the city seats held by former Knoxville Vice Mayor Jack Sharp, Michael Kane and MPC vice chair Bart Carey. These three continue as holdovers with no knowledge of Rogero’s plans. She can reappoint, replace or do nothing as she is doing now, which continues them month to month. While filling MPC seats may not be Rogero’s most important duty, it directly impacts neighborhoods. Why has she not acted? It is expected she will replace as all three have served two or more terms. Rogero is committed to term limits, but by allowing them to continue for 10 months she is effectively giving them a partial third term. If a replacement is ever named on the Rogero watch then he/she will have a shorter term than the normal four years. All three are men and Rogero is expected to add at least one or two women as replacements. But when, if ever, will these replacements occur? Rogero owes the public a reason for her almost year-long delay. What is also surprising is that one of the public reasons for hiring Indya Kincannon was to assist the mayor in making appointments. Obviously with MPC, Rogero has been slow to act on whatever Kincannon suggested. ■Wayne Christensen has retired as head of Knox Youth Sports after 20 busy and productive years. He and his wife, Sara, moved to Knoxville for ChrisChristensen tensen to work for Whittle Communications in 1983. They came from Minneapolis. By 1996 when he started with KYS, Whittle had folded in Knoxville and he had worked on a Baseball Parent newsletter. But the KYS executive committee that year, consisting in part of Charlie Anderson, Caesar Stair III and Jimmy Haslam, hired Christensen as executive director. During those two decades, he grew the program including adding 3- and 4-year-olds, middle school

The world with us

Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. (Psalm 33:8 NRSV) The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours. We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon. (“The World Is Too Much with Us,� William Wordsworth)

Just to be clear, the psalmist and Wordsworth were talking about two different worlds. The psalmist was talking about the earth, the whole of the known creation. Wordsworth was referring to civilization: the affairs of men, the powers that rule, the day to day business of life. Lewis and I had a chance recently to get away from business to enjoy the beauty of the earth. After tax season was officially over (well, except for the extensions – all those folks who somehow needed more time to render unto Caesar), we went to our favorite campground in the mountains. We left the world of business behind in order to soak up the beauty and quiet and peace of God’s world. We had time to listen to the laughing creek, to watch the mallards sail across the lake, to marvel at the moon rising over the mountains. It soothes and heals the soul, I assure you. But, as always, we return to the routine. The trick, however, is this: we – all of us – need to learn to pay attention to this dear little planet, to love it, treasure it, protect it, enjoy it, honor it, preserve it for generations yet unborn. In so doing, we honor and revere the Creator who thought it all up, and gave it to us to be our home. Let us do the job God gave us.

CBC serves up lunch at Central The women’s ministry at Central Baptist Church of Fountain City hosted an indoor picnic for the staff members of Central High School.

The event is one of many that the women do to support the high school staff and let them know that they are appreciated. Many of the women graduated from

CHS or taught there and it is just a way to shower the staff with love. Lunch items for the event included several freshly prepared salad sandwiches

courtesy John and Linda Thaller from House of Thaller, tossed salad and a variety of homemade desserts from the church members.

Abiding love for the African people This trip was McNeal’s second international mission trip. “I was actually nervous and apprehensive about not even being on the same continent, much less in the same country,� said McNeal. “After the worship on Sunday and meeting the widows in one of the tribes, I went from anxious about being there to the point of being anxious to go back again.�

By Cindy Taylor Since 2009, Callahan Road Baptist Church has made three mission trips to Kenya, Africa. This February a mission team from the church spent 10 days there. The crew of eight built a new church, provided a seven-day medical clinic that ministered to more than 250 residents and led and baptized 22 people to faith in Christ. The original 8- x 12-foot church was made of old used lumber and metal. The new church is more than double the size and was constructed of new materials. The people of the villages were grateful to receive the medical care. According to mission team members, the natives have no access to even simple items such as topical medications. The church also sponsors an orphanage in the town of Salama, where the 2016

McNeal says the team garnered a lot of attention because of their skin color. Many natives had never seen a white person. He is already putting together a team to go back in February. “I developed such a love for the people and it was reciprocated,� he said. “I am so excited to go back again.� Callahan Road Baptist Church is at 1317 Callahan Drive.

CHAPTER FIVE: Story So Far: The special soccer team of non-athletic boys, practice for their next game by finding a way not to practice. But the second game looms. Our second game was at Shoreham. If South Orange River had a reputation for being great in sports, so did Shoreham. In fact, the schools were rivals. I always wondered who makes up rivalries. Principals probably cook it up. Maybe they hated each other. Or maybe the school board—any-

thing to avoid talking about budgets—got it going. I didn’t even know anyone from Shoreham. Didn’t even care. We did get in another practice after the practice when we did not practice. Wasn’t bad. That is, I think we kicked the ball around a bit. The next day we went to a big museum and saw a neat film. In fact, on the bus to Shoreham, Saltz, Radosh and I got into this long discussion about some of the dinosaurs we saw in the

museum. A guide told us no one knows exactly why they died off. We were trying to figure out why. Saltz had the best idea. “Probably got into sports,” he suggested. “Right,” I said, “The Mastodon Mothers versus the Tyrannosaurus Tiddlywinkers.” In other words, by the time we got out of the bus at Shoreham, we were in a good mood. Being in the bus alone helped. That happened because after the first game, they gave us -- and us alone — a small bus to use when we needed one. For the whole season. I think they thought that the way we played might be catching. As for my being captain, that hadn’t amounted to much, except a little kidding. But as we got near the field, Saltz slipped up to me and said, “Remember, the captain always goes down with his ship.” Actually, it was another beautiful day, one of those early fall days that make you remember summer and wish it were back. Mr. Lester was all smiles. The team was loose. Positively jangling. As we closed in on the field, we could see the Shoreham players working out. We got ourselves ready. Mr. Lester beckoned me over. “When the referee calls, you’re supposed to go out and meet the opposing captain.” “What for?” He looked blankly at me, blushing slightly. “I can’t say I read that,” he admitted. After a bit, the referee did call. I went out to the middle. The Shoreham captain was a big guy for a seventh grader, at least twice as wide as me. He held out his hand and we shook. He nearly busted my fingers. It’s a wonder he didn’t stomp my foot. “How’s it going?” he said, dancing up and down as if his shorts were itchy. “Okay,” I said, putting my hand in my armpit to get back some feeling. “You got a nice field.” “Little chewed up from our last game.” “Oh? Who with?” “Buckingham.” “Really,” I said, pretending that was the least interesting thing in the world. “How’d you guys do?” “We beat them six–zip.” “No kidding,” I said, sorry I asked. In fact, I decided that my first official duty as team captain was not to tell my teammates that we were about to play the team that had beaten, by 6–0, the team that beat us 32–0. Meanwhile, the ref was telling us he wanted a good, hard game, but no rough stuff. I felt like saying, “Don’t worry, we do best at bad, soft and easy.” But I didn’t. “Good luck,” the Shoreham captain said to me. “Thanks,” I replied, “we’ll need it.” He looked at me a little funny. Probably

thought I was kidding. I wasn’t. I can’t tell you about the whole game. Just the highlights. Or rather, the lowlights. It wasn’t all that different from the Buckingham game. I do remember being impressed because they didn’t score right away. Not in the first ten seconds, anyway. In fact, I think we had the ball on their side of the field briefly. What is worth telling about is our first goal. It came about this way. They were on the attack. Actually, they were always on the attack. Just as we were always on the defense. But in this case, they had brought the ball nicely down the left line, passed it to the middle guys, pretty much in front of me — that is, in front of the goal. Meanwhile, my trusty buddy Saltz, as well as Root and Hays, were right in there, flailing away, hacking with their feet, rear ends, heads, whatever they found useful and close to the ball. It didn’t work. The ball kept getting closer. To me. I crouched, ready to miss. The ball squirted loose. Hays was right there and gave it a kick with the swift instinct of a true player. Right into our goal. Point for them. The best part was when the ball went in and the Shoreham team all lifted their arms. That’s a soccer tradition, airing your armpits after all that footwork. Anyway, I saw Hays lift his arms too, with this great idiot’s grin of success on his face. Eliscue tipped him off, delicately. “Wrong side, Bozo,” he said. Hays’s grin dropped like lead weights. He stood there, truly shaken. At another furious part of the game, I remember looking across the field and noticing that their goaltender was lying flat on his back, hands beneath his head, taking a sunbath. That really made me mad. I was still glaring at him as their twenty-second goal went whizzing past my eyes. Final score: 47–0. Guess who won? I wondered, did that make them better than Buckingham, or us worse? “Well,” said Dorman, as we dragged into our bus for the ride home, “they said we couldn’t get worse, but we showed them. Lot of points.” “Yeah, but I scored one of them,” Hays reminded us. We applauded with slow, regular beats, “Yeah! Hurray!” Mr. Lester, sitting up front with the driver, was doing his best to pretend he didn’t know us by reading one of his books, How to Be a Successful, Winning Coach. He never did tell me what a captain was supposed to do. (To be continued.)

The Halls Crossroads Women’s League gave out two scholarships to senior girls during the awards day presentations. Amber Headrick received the Martha Arnold-Charnay annual scholarship and Keleigh Galloway received the sixth annual scholarship in honor of Kathy Burnette and Eileen Bennett.

Colonial days at Halls Middle Several times during the year, the social studies teachers at Halls Middle Ruth School dress up in period White costumes to bring history to life for students. That way, stories make a bigger impact. When the teachers recently taught about colonial times, students saw the rugged living quarters and better understood that traveling was difficult and often dangerous. But then teachers brought out the big guns, literally. Members of the 29th Tennessee Infantry Regiment brought period guns for show and Steve Cameron with Trail Rock Ordnance brought cannons that he and others had recreated. Students learned firsthand the impact that weaponry Steve Cameron shows cannon made during battle. fragments to the group.

Partners in books and reading It’s a lot like that peanut butter and jelly thing, this literacy relationship about books and reading between the Bearden Rotary Club and Pond Gap Elementary School. It’s been going on for 10-plus years with no signs of slowing. On Friday, April 15, a group of Bearden Rotarians delivered a backlog of books to the Pond Gap library. “About five years ago we started asking their librarian for a list of books for their library,� said Rotarian Dick Hinton. “Our club buys the books and we have our weekly speakers sign the inside cover and then donate them to their library.�

Bearden Rotarians who helped deliver the books were Hinton, Gary Ricciardi, John Heins and club president Tom Daughtrey. “Pond Gap School is high poverty and it happens to be in the Bearden area. The ‘Rotary Reader’ program was one of our first regular activities, but over the years we’ve done a range of things,� says Hinton, who heads up the reading program. “Every Friday there will be four slots open for club Rotarians to fill, to spend 20 minutes or so reading books to the students.� Hinton adds that school administrators have asked then to recruit men to read since it’s rare for the

Everything Mushrooms lives up to its name By Carol Z. Shane When you walk into Everything Mushrooms on Sevier Avenue in South Knoxville, you walk into a whole new world. Jars of dried mushrooms in a dizzying variety line the walls, books about growing and using them fill tables. Cultivation supplies and pieces of apparatus – “inoculation loop,� “surgical steel scalpel,� “culture tubes� – crowd the shelves. Out back there’s a greenhouse and a variety of logs sprouting shiitakes. Store manager Sean McKay is eager to share the art and craft of mushroom cultivation with everyone. And Everything Mushrooms makes it easy for the most clueless beginner to start this rewarding, and ultimately delicious, hobby. Gesturing toward a log leaning against the wall in the store, McKay says, “Put it in your yard and let Mother Nature

do the work for you!� A Montana transplant whose background is in forestry, McKay moved here to take a job at Blackberry Farm. Then, “I fell in love with an East Tennessee gal,� he says, “so I guess I’m stuck!� But he says there Sean McKay are much worse places to be stuck. “Geographically we’re in a very good location.� With the nearby mountains and forests, “this is a rich mushrooming environment.� In business for 10 years and offering dried gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, truffles and truffle oils, mushroom oils and dressings, soup mixes and seasonings, Everything Mushrooms is a real destination for foodies

in the know. But, says McKay, the South Knox location is actually the “front of the house for a very big operation.� Everything Mushrooms does most of it business online. “There are probably only a dozen or so such stores in the whole country,� he says. It’s definitely a niche market, but the business’s products are much in demand by restaurants, chefs and farmers, as well as home hobbyists. And, as with any hobby, you can take it as far and as deep as you want. A beginner’s kit costs less than $20, and those more advanced can find everything they need here, too. McKay demonstrates several ways of cultivating the fabulous fungi – six-pound spawn blocks of sawdust filled with germinating cultures; liquid cultures that can be injected into a growing medium; individually-

sized bags of inoculated wooden dowels for plugging your own logs. Spawn? Fungi? Inoculation? If it all sounds a bit exotic, don’t worry. “You’re actually looking at a very clean product,� says McKay. “Everything is natural and sterilized.� And the dedicated staffers are there to help. “It’s not like you’re just putting something in the ground,� says McKay. “Customer service is something we really pride ourselves on.� So whether you’re just looking for a way to expand your gourmet tastes, or you’re in search of a new adventure that will reward you and your family for years to come, plan a visit

to Everything Mushrooms – in person, by phone or on its website. Everything Mushrooms is located at 1004 Sevier Avenue in Knoxville. Info: 865234-0977 or ever y thingmushrooms. com

Knoxville history in the making: the photography of Brian McDaniel By Betty Bean Brian McDaniel remembers the day he bought his first camera –July 5, 1978. He’d had a conversation with a friend about where his life was going. “Photography came up and I opted to go with that,� he said. Nearly 38 years later, he has honed his photography skills and turned a hobby into an avocation that gives him great satisfaction – and turns a profit. Assisted by his wife, Carol, he is recording familiar local scenes and producing stunning images in the form of photographs, notecards and even coffee mugs. “It’s cool to think that I have a hobby that actually

pays for itself – a self-supporting hobby,� he said “I’ve been able to buy a couple of cameras I wouldn’t have been able to afford, and to travel on photography trips. Bliss Home (a Market Square shop that sells his photographs) has been very kind to me.� McDaniel, whose fulltime work is at McKay’s Used Books, started his photographic career working at newspapers around East Tennessee, and in 2007 was employed at Thompson Photo Products when a customer, Jane Sampson, told him she was opening a downtown gallery called “Through the Lens,� and asked if he knew any photographers who might be

interested. McDaniel, who had long admired the Jim Thompson historic photos on the walls at work, decided to give it a try.

Two national champions to headline

Art on Main

Parker Hastings

Parker Hastings, a 15-year- old thumbpicking guitarist, and Union County’s own dulcimer-playing Sarah Morgan will entertain at Maynardville’s annual arts festival Saturday, June 4. Both young musicians are national champions in their genre. Parker won Grand Champion at the 2014 International Home of the Legends Thumbpicking Competition, was given the Horizon Award in 2014 by the National Thumb Pickers Hall of Fame. He was named Thumbpicker of the Year by NTPHOF in 2015, the youngest person to receive that honor. Parker jumped at the chance to play Chet Atkins style guitar in Atkins’ childhood home of Union County. Parker’s mom, Denise Hastings, said, “Parker came to me as soon as he got the request to play there and said, ‘Can we please make this happen?’ I looked at our busy family calendar and told him ‘Absolutely!’ “It’s a day trip for us from central Kentucky and we’re really looking forward to it!� Parker added, “Thanks so much for asking me to come!� Sarah Morgan, who grew up at the Morgan Family Farm in Sharps Chapel, is scheduled to bring her own award-winning talent to the Back

Sarah Morgan

‘Off the record’ For the third year, Hal and Phil are jumping off the airways and onto stage where they are going Off the Record for an evening of comedy and music at the historic Bijou Theatre on Tuesday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. NewsTalk 98.7’s show hosts Hallerin Hilton Hill and Phil Williams will present a full evening with comedy, an award presentation, music and special guests planned. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. Tickets are $25 and available by calling 865-684-1200 or online at www.newstalk987.com

Porch Stage at Art on Main. Morgan won the 2012 National Mountain Dulcimer Championship while a teen, and has a very long list of accolades for her non-traditional approach to playing the old-time instrument. She is performing and teaching all over the region while continuing her college education at Morehead State University in Kentucky. The Valley Boys, three 2015 Union County High School grads, will return to the festival with their smooth vocals and excellent guitar skills. Kyle Campbell and Greg Horne, well-known Knoxville virtuoso musicians, will bring a special set as part of the Knoxville Banjo Orchestra. The Knox County Jug Stompers will fi ll the small stage with their seven-member foot-stomping energy. Union County’s Chuck Barnett promises a blues set with his group Swamp Ghost. Local artisans who will demonstrate their crafts are glass blower Matt Salley, corn shuck doll artist Anne Freels, metalsmith Amber Crouse and woodworker David West. Vendors with fine art, food, handmade and homegrown goods and live plants are signing up daily, and registration is welcomed until a week before the event.

Liquor by the drink may be on Maynardville ballot By Sandra Clark The Union County Election Commission will meet at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in the small courtroom of the courthouse to determine whether the petition to put liquor by the drink on the ballot for the city of Maynardville has the required 31 valid signatures. The Election Commission has no discretion in this. If the petition complies with statutory requirements, the question will be included on the Aug. 4 city ballot. Two county offices are contested on Aug. 4. Randy Turner, interim property assessor following the death of Donna Jones, is being challenged by Sharon Cox Turner. They are not related, according to best information. David Cox, highway superintendent, is challenged by Frank E. “Eddie� Bailey. With a majority of school board seats on the ballot,

none of the five is contested. Filing without opposition are Marty Gibbs, District 1; Brad Griffey, District 2; Casey Moore, District 3; David Coppock, District 4; and Andrew J. Reed, District 6. Moore was appointed to fill out the term of Johnny Collins who resigned. Reed is seeking to replace longtime board member Brian Oaks, who did not seek reelection. Reed is the EMS director for Union County. In the Republican Primary on Aug. 4, state Sen. Frank Niceley is unopposed; state Rep. Dennis Powers is challenged by Bob Fannon in District 36, and Rep. Jerry Sexton is challenged by James Acuff in District 35. The only County Commission race on the ballot comes from District 4 where Doyle Welch was appointed to replace Dennis Nicley who resigned. Candidates for the remainder

of the term are Welch, Billy Collins and Jerome “Kern� Elkins. In the Maynardville City Council election, also on Aug. 4, five candidates are vying for three seats. Elec-

tions Administrator Deborah Viles said the top three vote-getters will win. Candidates are: Len Padgett, Marty Smith, Jason Tabor, Lawrence “Boo� Thomas and Timothy Young.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Sign of a stroke Billboard leads Johnson University EMT to choose Fort Sanders If it had been anyone else, Perry Morin would’ve been among the first to help. Only this time, he was the one who needed help. A 52-year-old emergency medical technician who lives on the Johnson University campus where he is safety manager, Morin suddenly found himself on the receiving end of emergency care late one night last August when an ischemic stroke left him in a heap on his bathroom floor. His entire right side was powerless to move and his speech slurred as his wife, Angie, asked where he wanted the ambulance to take him. “That billboard popped into my head,” said Perry, referring to the large billboard he had seen on Chapman Highway countless times last summer. “I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was a Covenant Health and Fort Sanders billboard that said something like, ‘The Region’s No. 1 Stroke Care Facility.’ I don’t know why, but it just popped into my head. So that’s why I chose Fort Sanders.” Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center was the first in the area to earn an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification by The Joint Commission, a nonprofit organization that accredits and certifies more than 20,500 health care programs in the United States. This “gold-seal” advanced certification means that Fort Sanders is recognized as having the most advanced and effective stroke treatments available. Today, he’ll tell you that choosing Fort Sanders was one the best decisions of his life. A quick and accurate diagnosis and treatment with the clot-busting drug tPA (tissue Plasminogen Activator) resulted in Perry’s discharge two days later without any impairments. “They were terrific. They were more than professional,” Perry said of the nursing staff and emergency department physician, Dr. David Bishop. “They recognized what was going on. They assessed me quickly and took care of it. They put me in a CT and figured out that I’d had an ischemic stroke which is treatable with tPA.” It all began around 11:15 p.m. on Aug. 4, 2015, when Perry was brushing his teeth before bed. “Suddenly, I realized I couldn’t hold my toothbrush very well – it seemed heavy to me,” Perry recounted. “I thought, ‘what is this?! This is really strange.’ I think I may have recognized it was a stroke. That’s when I fell down and slammed into the bathroom door.” The racket sent the rest of the Morin family scrambling – Angie from the living room, 17-year-old Benjamin from his man cave and 13-year-old Lydia from her bedroom. “I heard a big thud so I walked in and saw Mom had already dialed 911,” said Benjamin. “My sister was upset so I went and tried to calm her down.” “So I’m just lying on the floor thinking ‘This is weird’ because I was recognizing what was going on,” said Morin. “I was cognizant, I was alert, and I was awake. It didn’t hurt -- nothing hurt. I was just lying there and I couldn’t move my right side at all.” “He was very lucid with me,” said Angie. “I don’t think he said ‘stroke.’ I don’t think I said stroke. I don’t think either of us wanted to say that word. We just waited and prayed because we don’t live very close to the hospital way out here. The ambulance service got here very quickly.”

bers of Johnson University’s first responder team were also helping. “I would’ve normally responded to myself,” he said with a laugh. “But since I couldn’t, others in our group responded and helped the ambulance crew.” It was almost midnight when Morin was wheeled into the emergency department at Fort Sanders and taken directly to imaging where a CT scan confirmed Dr. Bishop’s suspicion of a stroke, likely caused by hypertension. He was given medication to lower his blood pressure, and after receiving Perry’s left-handed authorization, the tPA was administered around 1:30 a.m. Within 20 minutes, Angie could see her husband’s eyes brighten. Within 30 to 45 minutes, Perry was himself again. Two days later, he was discharged after passing all the physical, neurological and speech assessments. Two weeks later, he was back at Johnson University working full-time. Perry now realizes taking his blood pressure medicine alone isn’t enough – he must also check his blood pressure regularly. “I didn’t pay any attention to it all summer,” he said. “I take my blood pressure more often now and more routinely than I used to. I check it several times a week to see if it’s trending up or down or stable. I’m walking almost every day now. I feel pretty good.” That makes Lydia feel better, too. “I am glad that Dad is not sick and that he takes medicine. He’s getting stronger every day – and every night too,” she said with a laugh. Since that night, Morin has brushed up on signs of a stroke and urges others to do Perry Morin is grateful for the treatment he received at the Comprethe same.

The Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional

Delivering immediate and excellent care When a stroke happens, timely treatment is critical. The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional is well above the national average in delivering prompt treatment of life-saving medication. Clot-busting drugs are given to stroke patients through a vein to improve blood flow and minimize potential disabilities. The amount of time it takes for a patient to be brought into a hospital until the moment medications are intravenously administered is referred to as “door to needle time.” While the average door to needle time is a little more than an hour, the door to needle time at Fort Sanders Regional is 30 minutes. That’s half an hour faster than the national average. It’s just one of the many advantages a

Young musicians at camp K

By Carol Z. Shane

athy Hart, manager of the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra Association, had no idea what she was starting when she gathered 15 young string players in her basement in 1994. In the ensuing 22 years, under the guidance and care of the violin teacher and dedicated educator, the program has grown to include hundreds of kids from all over the region, rehearsing and performing in five different ensembles, each with its own conductor. “This is my passion,� says Hart. This summer, many of those young players are headed to string camp. “The KSYO summer string camp is one of the favorite weeks for the staff, alumni and current students to work together, make great music and have fun,� says Hart. “A theme is picked each year and music is selected based on that theme. Classes are organized to work with the theme as well. The 2016 theme is ‘That’s Entertainment’ – music from movie, musical and TV show themes. During the week, KSO musicians and local teachers coach and assist the participants.� The camp happens this year from June 20-24 and is open to any and all string students at various levels of ability, not just current KSYO members. Originally scheduled to take place at Bearden High School, the camp may instead move to Hardin Valley Academy, due to renovations at BHS. But To page 2

From page 1 the high level of education, music-making and fun will be the same no matter the location. “Great traditions have carried on for more than a decade now,� says Hart. “Two of my favorites are wacky-tacky dress day and the final piece on the concert where all students, staff and instructors perform together on an arrangement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, first movement. At the 2015 camp, we had 215 playing the finale! It’s been exciting to see this camp grow, and it’s so rewarding to see the new faces at auditions for Youth Orchestra the following fall still excited from their camp experience!� And how do the kids feel about it? “There are so many cool people there!� says Matthew Keever, a cellist. “And lots of fun activities,� adds violinist Hannah Shipstad.

he folks at Emerald Youth Foundation are looking forward to another summer full of kids. In addition to emerald Youth Sports comprehensive year-round program of leagues, teams and clinics for baseball, basketball, soccer, swimming, track and volleyball, Emerald Youth Foundation serves more than 300 young people in summer programs. Just Lead, EYF’s after school ministry, will continue its programs throughout the summer at Mt. Zion Baptist, Emerald Avenue United Methodist, Virginia Avenue Ministry, Laurel Church of Christ, Hope Central, Second United

Emerald Youth kids learn during the summer through experiences such as Junior Achievement BizTown in Clinton. Methodist Church and Western Heights Baptist Center, the seven city churches who partner with EYF to provide afterschool programs during the school year. Activity groups are broken down by age. Elementary school kids, for example, will take field trips to places like Pigeon Forge and area swimming pools. “We really enjoy taking our kids to Ijams Park, and we’ll probably have some kids over at Beardsley Farm too,� said John Crooks, EYF’s marketing and communications director. The biggest event of the summer is Just Lead Camp Week, June 13-17, where kids involved in summer programs will get a chance to pick unique

camps they’d like to be involved with. There will be an outdoors camp where 20 to 30 kids will go fishing and kayaking. For kids who love acting, there’s theater camp, where they will perform a play at the end of the week. For future business leaders, here’s Junior Achievement BizTown in Clinton, equipped with a radio station, a Pilot Food Mart and other establishments where kids can learn what it’s like to run a business. There’s a sports camp with opportunities for focus on several different sports. The camp, Crooks said, is one of the most popular events Emerald Youth Foundation offers during the year.

Children who want to go to camp will be asked to list their top three choices, and the EYF staff will make assignment based on several factors, including available space and prior camp experience. “We try to give the kids a broad range of experiences,� Crooks said. “Variety of Eastern Tennessee generously sponsors camp week, and it takes a lot of effort to pull it off.� Info: emeraldyouth.org/contact-us or 865-637-3227

The cool place to be I

By Carol Z. Shane

f you’re looking for a cool new way for kids to have fun this summer, look no further than Knoxville’s ice rinks. Both Cool Sports in Farragut and the Ice Chalet in Bearden offer summer skating camps and ice hockey lessons. Adults can get in on the fun, too. “Ice skating promotes healthy living and fun for ALL ages” says Cool Sports’ website. Nikki Copeland-Ronayne, director of figure skating for Cool Sports, has been skating since she was 5 years old and competing since she was 6. After attending the University of Tennessee, she auditioned for Holiday on Ice and toured Europe with the show. “I spent almost four years of my life traveling to new cities and arenas and have performed in front of thousands of skating enthusiasts,” she says. “My life has been nothing short of exciting!” Copeland-Ronayne has spent the last 13 years developing a skating program at Cool Sports utilizing the US Figure Skating curriculum. She says her program is dedicated to “building skaters who not only skate for recreational enjoyment, but also compete amongst other elite level skaters throughout the Southeast. “I often think of all of the lessons that I have learned from being a figure skater,” she says. “Get up when you fall down. Smile even when we feel like crying. Learn from your mistakes and bask in the glory of your successes. Cherish those around you that encourage you to be better than you already are. “Whenever I’m with a student I try to always nurture their strengths, and point out areas that need a little attention. I’m definitely a big ‘cookie’ coach – good stuff first, then stuff to work on, followed by good stuff.” Over at the Ice Chalet, the ice rink floor is currently being rebuilt. According to Julia Hardin, director of the Ice

Cool Sports offers many choices in ice sports for youngsters. Shown from left are Corinne Oliphant, Alia Smith, Micah Foster, Morgan Newman, KyLee Toole, Charlotte Rogers, Catherine Rivers, Jenna Schoonheim, Aimee Wagner, Molly Haymore, Bonnie Dudley, Alisha Sarley, Eunyoung Hong, Skyler Shipstad, Skye Armstrong and Chloe Wagner.

Chalet’s skating school, it’s the first major renovation since the business opened in 1962. “We usually close in April and May” for maintenance, she says, but this renovation will allow the rink to stay open year-round. Their “Swizzle and Sizzle” summer skating camp for beginner and intermediate skaters begins June 27. Hardin says, “I grew up at the Ice Chalet.” A graphic designer, she previously worked for Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., where she also taught skating. When she returned to Knoxville in the late ’90s, “I decided I’d like to teach skating in my home rink.” Beginning skaters are taught everything they need to know in order to become accomplished, but “we do it with an emphasis on fun,” she says. “It’s the cool place to be in the middle of a very hot time of year!” Cool Sports is located at 110 South Watt Road. Info: coolsportstn.com or 218-4500. The Ice Chalet is located at 100 Lebanon Street in the Bearden area. Info: chaleticerinks.com or 588-1858.

Ice skating is a great way for kids to cool off this summer. Shown at the Ice Chalet are Aaron Blake, Sara Beth Bogartz, Heather Helton and Ellie Tidwell.
