Housing market back from recession By Betty Bean

Knox County’s residential housing market, the engine that drives the local economy, has bounced back from a long string of tough years, and those involved in building, regulating and counting the money are happy to put the recession years in the rear view mirror. “We’re really pleased to see single family home construction recover so well,� said Dwight Van de Vate, Knox County’s senior director of engineering and public works. “Pre-recession, we would sometimes see almost 250 homes a month – clearly unsustainable.

Then we cratered to a low of 35 one month. It’s been a wild ride. Now we have robust, fairly stable development, at levels we can manage. It’s a good place to be.� Developer Scott Davis agrees. “In the last 13 months, we’ve seen a very significant turnaround in the housing market. For six or seven years, we didn’t do anything but fight the banks, and now we’re putting lots on the ground at the 2006 rate.� Davis remembers 2006 as the last good year before the bubble burst. “The housing boom we saw in

2007 was clearly not sustainable,� said Davis, who owns Eagle Bend Development. “Now, we’re growing at a nice, healthy rate and our economy has rebounded very well – Knox County’s population has grown by 60,000 in recent years. There’s lots of stuff coming back toward the downtown area, and we’ve got six subdivisions working, plus a 248-unit apartment complex off Hardin Valley Road.� County Finance Director Chris Caldwell isn’t prone to enthusiasm, but admits he likes the trends he’s seeing in his budget numbers. “It’s good to see the growth in the

revenue that appears in our general fund. It’s an indicator that tells us our economy is growing and headed in the right direction and that alleviates pressure on the budget.� In fiscal year 2015, for example, Caldwell said revenue from building permit fees came in at 125 percent of budget projections. “We expected $925,000 and received $1.1 million, and it will be better this year. Through the month of April, we are at $994,000, and I can tell you that a year ago, we were at $879,000. We’re up 13 percent over April of last year.�

It wasn’t just Oak Ridge New book highlights East Tennessee’s WWII role By J.J. Stambaugh When most people think of East Tennessee’s role in World War II, they think of the development of the atomic bomb at Oak Ridge or the experiences of veterans of the bloodiest conflict in human history. But the United States didn’t help win the war solely through the soldiers’ efforts, as tremendous and selfless as those were. Rather, it was the nation’s unprecedented industrial might that helped transform the U.S. into what then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the world’s “arsenal of democracy.� East Tennessee played a key role in building that arsenal, and for every man in uniform there were several “women and old men� who took the places of their husbands and sons at factories from Bristol to Chattanooga, according to Ray Clift, co-author of the newly released book “East Tennessee in World War II.� Clift, a Fountain City native and Vietnam-era veteran whose father served in the U.S. Army during World War II, began researching the topic last year with longtime friend Dewaine A. Speaks, who had already published two books. The men were determined to shed light on an often-overlooked part of East Tennessee’s history, and to that end they pored through thousands of documents and photos supplied by several universities and companies. “They opened their hearts out to us,� Speaks said. “They rounded up

photos and really bent over backwards helping us.� While the development of the atomic bomb is discussed in their book’s pages, the focus is on companies like the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA), the Fulton Sylphon Company, and the Rohm and Haas Chemical Company (now Dow Chemical). The use of aluminum from ALCOA in warplanes, for instance, allowed Allied aircraft to fly faster than those developed by the Germans, said Clift. Also, one of the nation’s most closely guarded secret weapons – the Norden bombsight – used a seamless metal bellows manufactured at Knoxville’s Fulton plant. More than 90,000

Dewaine A. Speaks and Ray Clift, co-authors of “East Tennessee in World War II� Photo submitted Norden bombsights were delivered to the armed services at the cost of $8,800 apiece, and a part of that wealth made its way into the hands of the many local workers who were key to the device’s success. In fact, the sheer numbers of products built by the Fulton company are staggering: 53 million bellows, 50 million hand grenade

fuses, 8 million tail assemblies for mortar shells, and even the precision altitude detonation devices used in the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945. “The Manhattan project engineers thought the most efficient altitude for those things to detonate was at 1,890 feet, and they detonated at that height because of the bellows,�

Speaks explained. Another major contribution to the war effort came from Rohm and Haas, which developed Plexiglas canopies for aircraft that didn’t shatter or bend light, an important safety feature that the Axis powers’ planes lacked, the authors said. The book also contains previously secret correspondence that sheds light on the intense cloak-anddagger efforts over the secrets of atomic fission that ultimately led the Germans to pursue scientific dead ends while the U.S. ultimately succeeded. The federal government’s pursuit of Axis saboteurs also gets a chapter in the book, an effort that ultimately led to the execution of several German spies. “More than 90 percent of the information in this book has never before been in print,� Clift said. More than anything, Clift and Speaks hope their book is a fitting tribute to the generation that defeated

the most powerful enemies ever fought by the U.S. and its allies, especially the 2,250 East Tennessee soldiers who gave their lives in the conflict and the 11,000 others who were wounded. “Many people are so interested in what their parents and their grandparents had done, and we realize this story has never been told,� Speaks said. “This area did so much during the war .... It really kicked youknow-what.� The History Press in South Carolina published the book. Several chain bookstores and the East Tennessee Historical Society have agreed to carry the book, Clift said. Packed with never-before-published photographs, tables and anecdotes, the 176-page paperback volume sells for $21.99. The authors will host a book launch 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 18, at the Knoxville Municipal Golf Course on Schaad Road. Info: arcadiapublishing. com

Celebrate! Good news at Tennessee The University of Tennessee has its fair share of problems, starting with a perceived lack of leadership. To fund or not to fund the unusual diversity movement is a really big deal. Legislators are assisting in this decision. Prone protesters have clogged campus sidewalks. Several professors who weren’t otherwise busy have emerged with carefully considered opinions. Heavy, heavy hangs the Title IX lawsuit as a very dark cloud over many heads. The baseball team goes right on losing in the final year of good guy Dave Serrano’s coaching contract. Gentle leader Dave Hart may have to make a move.

the magic number is a fouryear APR of 930. Above that score are degrees of OK, good and great. Below brings the threat of penalties, probation, loss of scholarships and, Heaven help us, even bowl ineligibility. Tennessee football scored 956, up 11 points over last year, up 24 from two years ago and up 32 from three years ago – back when things were bad. Butch Jones gets a $50,000 bonus for 945 or better. He gets $100,000 if academic progress reaches 965. The coach is in charge of motivation. Thirteen of Tennessee’s 18 sports teams scored higher than the national average. Baseball, cross country, combined swimming

and diving, combined tennis, women’s basketball and women’s track were among the programs with perfect 1000 APRs for the past academic year. You may have heard there was a time when college classes meant little or nothing to college athletes. It was said that going to school was just something that had to be done to be eligible to practice and play and make normal progress toward professional millions. “Dumb jocks” was a favorite put-down among critics of college sports. Derogatory comments are out of style, no longer appropriate. Through the years, Tennessee may have had a dumb jock or three. One comes to mind. There have also been academic giants, going back to Everett Derryberry and Nathan Dough-

erty and moving forward to Vols who earn undergraduate degrees and add master’s within four years. Derryberry, former halfback, went on to Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in English. For 24 years, he was president of Tennessee Tech. Dougherty, former tackle, supposedly made A in everything. He is in the College Football Hall of Fame. He hired Bob Neyland as coach of the Vols. He helped organize the Southeastern Conference. The UT engineering building honors the great dean’s name. Former center Bob Johnson, College Hall of Fame, NFL standout, prominent Cincinnati business leader, is a member of the all-time Academic All-America team. That’s as good as it gets. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

A stroll down sidewalk making Lots of questions about sidewalks have surfaced lately. Go to any community meeting in this city. Everyone wants more sidewalks: kids walking to school, moms pushing strollers, exercisers completing those 10,000 steps, other folks just enjoying a casual stroll out of harm’s way. What is holding us back? Money, for one thing. Sidewalks are costly, and budgets are finite. The work is included as part of the city’s budget process. Local tax dollars, not state money, pay for the work. The mayor has proposed $2.7 million in her recent budget for fiscal 2016-17. What will that buy? Roughly a mile and a half of new sidewalks. Sidewalk cost is estimated by city engineering at an average $350 per linear foot. Do the math. A mile of

Nick Della Volpe new sidewalk (5,280 feet) costs some $1.85 million, with variations depending on site topography, natural drainage, stormwater piping, ADA compliance and other needs. So, the proposed budget could buy roughly 1.5 miles of sidewalk, if the projects were all new ones. The proposal actually includes about three-fourths of a mile of repairs to existing, cracked and damaged surfaces, plus a mile of new sidewalk. How does the city decide which locations get chosen? I understand Knoxville uses a two-part process. One part is engineering-

based, ranking projects under a point system; the other is the administration’s priority. For new sidewalks, the engineers review and rank requests and observed need for sidewalks under a one- to 14-point assignment matrix, using five criteria which ask: ■ Is it within the parental responsibility zone for schools? ■ Is it a missing segment in an existing walkway? ■ What’s the pedestrian usage? ■ What’s the road’s classification (is it a major or minor arterial, a collector, or a local street)? ■ Is it on a KAT route? Armed with that list, the administration considers political priorities in choosing how much money is available and what projects to fund. Private contractors are hired to do much of the work.

Repairs to broken and dangerous sidewalk segments are primarily determined by complaints. Problem areas are examined and assigned a priority level (1, 2 or 3). Small repairs can be done by city’s public service crews. Larger ones are contracted out, along with the new projects. The backlog of requested new sidewalk projects is huge. My review of the engineering list shows there are 157 projects, covering some 396,315 linear feet of work (that’s 75 miles!), with an estimated total cost of some $138 million. Whew! Takes your breath away. Check back with me in 50 years. What about new subdivisions? Should Knoxville require developers to include sidewalks as a part of the plans? It is certainly a desirable amenity and would be

Chilhowee Drive in Holston Hills has sidewalks, but some say they’re virtually impassable. The sidewalk, including the curb, is just less than five feet wide with only two feet between the utility pole and the grassy hill beyond it. Photo by Nick Della Volpe

a positive selling point. The curb and gutter work is already required as part of the subdivision roads requirement. As I understand it, MPC staff often recommend sidewalks during their review, but do not compel their inclusion. The full commission, a more political body,

acts on these recommendations. It sometimes agrees and sometimes does not. That policy should be re-evaluated. A community committed to walkability should require new additions to include a sidewalk on at least one side of the interior roads. Nick Della Volpe represents District 4 on Knoxville City Council.

Sydney out, Sydney in as student school board rep This month mon o th h marks mar ark k s the ks the he end of Sydney ydney Gabrielson’s G briiellson’’s Ga term as student representative to the Knox County Board of Education. She’ll hand off the job to Sydney Rowell, a rising senior at Hardin Valley Academy, at the June workshop meeting. She’ll give her some Sydneyto-Sydney pointers and try to help her feel at ease. “We will both sit at the board table and I’ll show her some tricks of the trade – like how you pull your mic down after you talk.� By then she will have already received her diploma from Bearden High School, where she is class salutatorian and carries a 4.51 grade point average (more or less – the final calculations haven’t been made yet). Come this fall, she will attend the University of Alabama as a UA Fellow – the equivalent of a Haslam Fellowship at UT. Gabrielson credits one special teacher for guiding her probable career path. “I am planning on majoring in finance or economics, and I’ve never had a teacher be as influential in my life as Matt McWhirter, my economics teacher this year. He went to Vanderbilt, then dropped out to become

Betty Bean a rock star, then went to law school and finally decided to teach economics. When they say teachers make a difference, he is living proof of that.� Soft-spoken and polite, Gabrielson has never shied from speaking about issues affecting her fellow students. “I guess I’ve been pretty outspoken,� she said. “I really tried to make sure students’ voices were heard.� The first issue she weighed in on was a proposal to change the way high school classes are scheduled. After talking to students from different parts of the county, she opposed the plan to go from block scheduling to seven classes per day, an idea that had been pitched as a way to save the county money. “The students I talked to did not want to change, and ultimately, the student voice outweighed economics,� she said. Getting to know students from all over Knox County was one of the most enjoy-

able things about being a student rep, she said. “The best experience of all was getting heavily involved in the Knoxville community. Growing up, I was kind of segregated in West Knoxville, but this past year, I’ve learned so much. I learned that Knoxville is so much more than just where I live.� Gabrielson joined “Leaders for Readers� through the Great Schools Partnership which allowed her to work with second-graders who needed a little extra help. “I was really happy that I could do my own thing and give back to my community,� she said. “I learned how different students learn and learned to understand how you have to approach everything differently.� Although the work was gratifying, she said the most difficult aspect of the position of student rep was handling the turmoil on the board, which is deeply split on a number of fundamental issues, particularly the performance and philosophy of Superintendent James McIntyre. “Sometimes meetings were very uncomfortable. The board did not agree on many things,� she said.

Don’t be a ‘twitcher’ Yogi Berra was supposed to have said, “I didn’t say half of those things I said.� However that works, one of the things he may have said was something like, “You can observe a lot of stuff by just watching.� Or to enlarge upon that thought a bit, I would say you can observe a lot of new stuff outdoors by just taking time to watch for a little while. Our friends across the water, those eccentric British birders, have a somewhat derogatory term for certain of their comrades – “twitcher� – someone who hurriedly birds along, sees a bird, marks his or her bird list, and then is immediately off for the next one, the one just seen immediately forgotten – that’s a twitcher. But in reality, there is much more going on out there than can be seen with a quick glance at a bird, or a bug or a flower. They are all out there in the midst of having lives, often doing interesting and unexpected things. A few personal examples follow. We’ve had yard turkeys all winter. There was a momma and five halfgrown young ones at first, searching every nook and cranny of our place for grasshoppers, bugs and other edibles. They became

Dr. Bob Collier

so accustomed to me on the mower and Grandma doing her walks, that when we encountered them they would just look up, as if to acknowledge that we were their usual people, and go right on back to grazing. The group broke up this spring as turkey groups do, but one has still been around, checking the yard out for new spring food items. And one morning a couple of weeks ago, as I sat looking out from the breakfast table, I observed a new thing – the turkey was going through the backyard, picking off the round fluffy dandelion heads one by one, seeds sticking out from both sides of its beak, till they were all gone. I could only wonder how many dandelion heads it would take to fill up a turkey. Perhaps they’re high in vitamins or minerals. Another example of the rewards of patiently watching: a recent trip to the Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Clinton. We go out there

frequently and drive slowly around the well-kept gravel roads between the big fish ponds; the place is always full of interesting birding sights. This was in early April, and the first spring migrants, the various swallows, had appeared only about a week before. Two killdeer were walking back and forth across the road. Instead of just ticking them off the list and moving on to something more interesting, we paused and watched for a bit. And to our amazement, there appeared four baby killdeer, looking like baby Easter chicks on very long legs, scurrying here and there as only baby chicks will do. And the nervous, watchful parents? We got to see them taking turns at the old “broken-wing act,� wherein the parent bird flops around, seemingly helplessly injured, staying just ahead of the car until we were safely away from their babies; then they zipped away, suddenly healthy again. The fact that those killdeer parents had babies up and going in April meant that the eggs were laid over a month before we saw them, during the cold days of March. A family story unfolding before our very eyes! Sometimes you go to

Sydney Gabrielson This summer, she’ll take a break from academics and join several friends to work as lifeguards at Arnstein Jewish Community Center, although her summer break will end the first week in August because she is planning to participate in sorority rush. “Hopefully, my work with the Alabama Fellowship will help me decide exactly what I want to do,� she said. “Civic engagement, or maybe follow in my mom’s footsteps and go to law school? I’m not sure yet.� She says nobody’s given her a hard time about going to Alabama, and she’s got one key phrase down pat: “Roll, Tide, Roll.� Eagle Bend or Norris or the Smokies to observe. And sometimes the observing comes to you. For years we’ve had a pair of loud, bossy and overactive Carolina wrens that nest just outside our kitchen window on a ledge inside the back porch roof. We couldn’t avoid observing them if we wanted to. But we wouldn’t miss them for anything. Carolina wrens are overachievers – they will produce as many as three broods in a season. Both male and female sing, sometimes in duet, and use as many as 40 different songs. You can usually recognize their singing, just as you would a certain person’s singing, by the sound of their voice – in this case, loud, clear, intrusive – rather than by the specific song they’re doing at the time. They like to start singing early, too, say around daylight. Under the bedroom window. So as we sit there in the kitchen and eat three meals a day, or read the paper, or do a little paperwork, we can’t help but hear and observe all that baby-wrenrearing activity a few feet away. In addition to uncountable trips back and forth to their nest with bugs and worms for the babies, received with a loud chorus of peeping and cheeping, there are also housekeeping trips away from the nest.

pleted, the new museum will almost immediately need to be expanded as it is being built a size too small due to budget constraints. Forty million of the $160 million is being raised privately with Gov. Haslam taking the lead. Apparently no decision has been made on whether the names of donors and amount of gifts will be disclosed. If not, expect it to become a political issue in the name of government transparency. ■With UT Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek expected to step down as he nears 70, Susan Martin departs as provost Aug. 1, leaving after serving just two years of her second five-year term. Cheek spokesperson Margie Nichols winds up her work in June. She says over 80 applications have come in for her position. Were any from East Tennessee? ■State Sen. Brian Kelsey (R-Germantown) held a fundraiser in Knoxville on April 28, which raised over $35,000 for his congressional campaign for the open seat in West Tennessee. He is related to Watty Hall, wife of Knoxville attorney Chris Hall, and is one of 12 candidates in the GOP primary. The event was cosponsored by Mayor Tim Burchett, state Sens. Becky Massey, Richard Briggs, Randy McNally, Ken Yager and Doug Overbey, along with Wes Stowers, John Turley, Ed Shouse, Hugh Nystrom and former vice mayors Jack Sharp, Nick Pavlis and Joe Bailey. Kelsey, 38, chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. The fundraiser was held at this writer’s home.

Many nestling birds, wrens included, expel a tidy, white blob of waste called a fecal sac, sort of a pre-wrapped dirty diaper. You will see an adult bird fly away from the nest with a white object in its beak, to be discarded away from the nest. A clean nest is much less susceptible to parasites and bacteria harmful to the nestlings. After a few feeding and housekeeping trips to the nest, our wrens take a break by flying to a nearby dog-

wood tree and singing loudly, just to remind everything within earshot that this is their nest, house and yard. I must say they are a lot more entertaining than watching the local 6 o’clock news. Catching a glimpse of a long-sought rare bird is cause for major celebration, but there’s a lot to be said for the remarkable insights into the workings of Nature that can be had by some plain old watching. You observers out there will know what I’m talking about.

Jim McIntyre will head up UT’s Center for Educational Leadership starting Aug. 1. His salary of $180,000 represents a pay cut from what he made as superintendent of Knox County Schools, but he walked away from his current job with a year’s salary. In other words, for the upcoming year, he will earn more than twice $180,000. McIntyre was hired by Bob Rider, dean of the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences. Since McIntyre is not a tenured professor, he is an at-will employee, according to Margie Nichols, vice chancellor for communications. UT has had a hard time filling the job, as Nichols also said that the hiring of McIntyre came after two national searches to fill this position failed to produce a candidate whom UTK wanted to hire. Consequently the third try was what academia calls a “targeted search,� which allowed a direct hire of McIntyre. Clearly, this position has been vacant for some time, but McIntyre was nearby and anxious to remain in Knoxville. ■Police Chief David Rausch received a prolonged standing ovation at the May 6 Emerald Youth Foundation breakfast attended by over 1,000 people. Many have gravitated to Rausch over the past several months as he fights gang violence in Knoxville. His boss, Mayor Rogero, was not present. ■The state’s new $160 million museum in Nashville will have 11,000 fewer square feet than the museum it’s replacing. Advocates say the new museum will be much better configured. One would think the new museum would be larger than the old in order to display its many artifacts as well as over 350 Red Grooms paintings held by the museum. When com-

‘A Night of Worship’ at Salem Baptist By Carol Z. Shane It will be a special evening this Sunday, May 15, when Salem Baptist Church presents “A Night of Worship.� This group-led musical evening features all ages, and will be followed by a reception honoring musician Bill Hunter and his 20 years of service to SBC. “This year, we at Salem have placed a huge emphasis on multi-generational worship,� says Worship Arts Pastor Tim McCarty. “We want to see kids worshipping the Lord right next to their parents and grandparents. This night is a perfect example of that. “Our preschool choir and elementary choir will be sharing a couple songs each. They will also join with our students and adults to sing a

Join Salem Baptist Church members of all ages this Sunday as they present “A Night of Worship.� Photo submitted fun arrangement of ‘Thrive’ by Casting Crowns.� McCarty says, “In addition to music from our choirs and instrumentalists, the pastoral staff is going to be walking through the question, ‘Why Do We

Sing?’ We believe God has given us the gift of music for many different reasons, and we’re going to be sharing nine of those reasons throughout the night. Following the worship service, we will have a special recep-

tion to honor Bill Hunter, who has been serving as an instrumentalist at Salem for the last 20 years.� “I am grateful for Bill and his family, who are actively involved in the life of our church family,� says the Rev. Allen James. “Bill is a faithful servant and a talented musician.� McCarty says, “We are truly looking forward to this special night of worship and we would welcome anyone from the community to join us!� “A Night of Worship� happens at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday, May 15, at Salem Baptist Church, 8201 Hill Road in Halls.

Of stars and words Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion? Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth? (Job 38:31-33 NRSV) Sometimes when I am looking for something else, I stumble across a Biblical text which I have somehow missed (or forgotten). That is how I discovered the word Mazzaroth. I was wandering around in Job’s frustration, and there it was. Say, what? Who? So I looked it up (which my mother taught me so well to do: “Let’s look it up,� she always said) and there it is: Mazzaroth! Which, of course, sent me to the footnotes. No meaningful help there. That is where the allknowing Internet came to the rescue. Mazzaroth is a very old name for the 12 constellations of the Zodiac; it is a tool that uses the stars to tell a story. Fair enough. However, there is more learning to be done! The word Mazzaroth is also a hapax legomenon! (Could I possibly make this stuff up?) A hapax legomenon is a word that appears only once in a text. Really, I worry about the scholars who go through books looking for hapax legomenons. Do they truly have nothing else to do? And then I begin to wonder if legomenons is actually the correct plural form of legomenon. Turns out, it isn’t; the correct plural is legomena. (Begins to sound like “Leggo my Egg-o, doesn’t it?) If you have read thus far in these musings, I suspect you are one of “us� – those people who love to learn, and especially love to learn unusual and very new, or very old words!

Hands are raised and tears are shed as the Alder Springs Missionary Baptist Church choir leads the congregation in the last song in the church’s old sanctuary, built in 1967. The Union County congregation moved to a new building just up the road.

Alder Springs gets new church facility This special display in the new Alder Springs Missionary Baptist Church foyer holds the communion flask and glasses from the original church, built in 1849.

The Rev. Dewey Raley, longtime pastor, enjoys the first service in the new Alder Springs sanctuary.

S.O.R. Losers

“a breakfast serials story”

Written by Avi and Illustrated by Timothy Bush

CHAPTER SIX: Story So Far: As S.O.R.’s special soccer team continues to loose, and lose badly, pressure to win is about to applied. I knew we were heading for trouble when every team member got a message from our principal, Mr. Sullivan. He wanted to see us during our lunch hour. “What do you think he wants?” Porter asked me. Since I was captain, they thought I had answers. “I think we’re only going to be allowed to play third-grade teams,” suggested Root, looking up from an electronic diagram that reminded me of a plate of spaghetti. Mr. Sullivan, the principal, didn’t strike me as a sports guy. He was small, thin, pinched up and tense. His office was the storage room for every trophy, ribbon and flag the school had ever won. I mean, walk in there, and you knew you were expected

Advice from S.O.R.’s principal

to win. Mr. Sullivan began with a smile. “So, this is the Special Seventh-Grade Soccer Team. How’s it going?” he asked. “Could be worse,” said Fenwick. “Next game,” agreed Barish. “You’re not going to give up, are you?” asked Mr. Sullivan. I suspect most of us wanted to say “Yes.” “I suppose you think you’re not very good,” he said. “Honesty is the best policy,” said Eliscue. “You’re new to the game,” said Mr. Sullivan. “Have faith in yourselves. I know you can do well.” “How come you know,” asked Saltz, “and we don’t?” Mr. Sullivan seemed taken aback. “I just do,” he said. “Any evidence?” asked Barish.

“Boys,” said Sullivan, “if you believe in yourselves, you can do anything.” He gestured to the trophies. “Don’t have a defeatist attitude. It will haunt you the rest of your lives. Do I look like an athlete?” “No.” “Well, I run 27 miles once a week. Now look at me.” I did. I didn’t see any difference. “How come you do it?” asked Porter. “I like it.” “Well, we don’t like this,” Hays said. “Besides, we stink,” put in Radosh. “As long as you believe that,” said Sullivan, “you’ll lose. Find the true South Orange River attitude: never accept defeat.” “Even if we lose?” I said. He ignored me. “Don’t give up. Look at me in the eye and promise.” I did, which is when I noticed he was slightly cross-eyed. It took the edge off my promise. He let us go then, telling us he’d come to one of our games to cheer. Before splitting up, we stood outside his office. “I’m beginning to think we might be an embarrassment to someone,” said Saltz. “Maybe he’ll call the whole thing off.” We let that fond but empty hope cheer us. “I think they want to teach us a lesson,” I said. “Which is?” asked Barish. No one knew. As we started to scatter, I called, “Another game Friday. Sanger School. Don’t forget.” “I’m trying,” said Dorman. Saltz stayed by my side. “I made up a team poem,” he said. “Want to hear it?” “Do I have a choice?” He pulled out his notebook and read: “There once was a team from South Orange River, Who simply could never deliver. Given a way to choose, They always found new ways to lose, That marvelous, special, seventhgrade team from beautiful, successful, never-winning and always-losing South Orange River.” “You and Shakespeare,” I said. “Think he was good in sports?” he asked. “Sure, right field for the London Loogies.” Sanger School came to our field. That meant we could have had a crowd of people watching. We did have a crowd, or rather a crowdette. A little girl wandered by. She wasn’t older than five. Whatever she saw, she was very smart or we were very obviously bad. After ten minutes, she left. We were already losing by five goals. Main highlight of the game: In the second period, Fenwick took a nasty kick in the shins. Down he went, yelling, screaming, and crying bloody murder. He was rolling on his back, holding on to his leg, trying to make sure it stayed on. As I’ve learned, what you’re supposed to do is nothing. Ignore it. Play on. Hang tough. Be men. Not us. I mean, the guy was our friend, even if he was great in math. Without even thinking about it, we all rushed over and stood around trying to make him feel bet-

ter. The referee ran up to us, yelling that we were supposed to keep playing. “He’s hurt,” I explained. Fenwick was, I admit, yelling softer by then. “Ball’s still in play!” cried the ref. “Ball’s still in play!” Sure enough. They scored a goal. Walked it in. What did we care? It was only one of twentytwo. Later, in the locker room, Mr. Lester called us to attention. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I think it’s very kind of you to be concerned when a teammate gets hurt. But the game is such that you’re not supposed to stop. Fenwick, you weren’t hurt so badly, were you?” “No.” “He looked it,” I said. “Perhaps more startled than hurt,” suggested Mr. Lester. “The thing is, they scored a goal.” “They scored lots of goals,” Root reminded him. “We’ve got only one Fenwick.” Mr. Lester blushed and sighed. “Tell me, gentlemen,” he said, “are you getting any pleasure from this?” There was a long, long silence. “Any?” he tried again. “We stink,” said Lifsom. “We really do. We’re never going to win. Wouldn’t it be better to just give up?” Mr. Lester stood tall. We stood short. He had a look I’d not seen before. I bet General Robert E. Lee had exactly that look when he sent his men on Pickett’s Charge up Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I want you to know, I believe in you.” He actually made a fist. I never even knew Mr. Lester had one. “You can win!” I had this uncomfortable feeling. “How?” I wanted to know. “Because you won’t give up.” “We’d like to,” said Eliscue. “Gentlemen,” cried Mr. Lester, “don’t be losers. Be winners.” “I got an A-plus on my last math test,” said Fenwick. “Mr. Fenwick,” said Mr. Lester, shouting in his smallest, lowest voice, “I’m talking about sports.” “Oh,” said Fenwick. “Three more games,” said Mr. Lester. “Believe!” In school the next day, I was working on the history project with Lucy Neblet. We were hunched over this table, having a good time. Out of nowhere, the school newspaper — which the kids make up — came fluttering down to cover our work. “Hey!” I cried, looking up to see who did it. There was Cat-Face Charlie, a kid from class, who everyone knew had a crush on Lucy. “What’s the idea?” I said to him. “Look!” he said, pointing at the newspaper and grinning. I looked. On the front page, in headlines, it read: NEW TEAM HAS WORST START IN SCHOOL HISTORY! I turned. Lucy was looking at me sort of funny. All I could think was, “Three games to go.” I hoped.

Why it pays to graduate Graduation ceremonies and other events that mark the end of a school year are rife with tradition. Students know it is important to receive their diplomas but may not have a full understanding of why that piece of paper can help open so many doors. Diplomas date back to some of the earliest schools, but were also conferred upon land owners in ancient times by kings and other authority figures. Some military personnel were also given diplomas to signal land grants that were not subject to taxes. Nowadays diplomas take on a different meaning and vary depending on where one lives in the world. Graduates who complete a specific course of study are issued diplomas. Diplomas were once written on Italian sheepskin. Although

"diploma" translates to "folded papers," paper was not always an economically viable medium for diplomas. In fact, animal skins were used as recently as the 1950s. Receiving a degree or diploma can be a point of pride in families where older members may not have had the same educational opportunities as younger members. Many people move to North America for the educational opportunities, and a diploma can symbolize taking advantage of those opportunities. According to the organization Do Something, roughly 20 percent of first-time college students come from parents who have a high school diploma or less. The United States Department of Education says high school graduation rates have increased since the

2006-2007 school year. Around 80 percent of student who enter high school now earn a regular or advanced diploma. Dropout rates are on the decline, and a growing number of high school students continue on to two- or four-year degrees. In Canada, numbers are quite similar. Canada is second only to the United States in the high school completion rate of its working-age population. Statistics Canada says that enrollment in Canadian universities continues to increase. Enrollments are now approximately 5 percent larger than they were just a few years ago. Community colleges are benefitting from this influx of students. Various statistics from the 2010-2011 year point to more than eight million American students enrolled in community colleges

at that time. Community colleges enable students to take core curriculum credits at a less expensive institution and then move on to a four-year school later on to expand on their coursework. This presents a viable option to students who are looking to keep education costs manageable. The reason so many students continue to apply themselves and come out after four or more years with diplomas and degrees is that they realize how competitive the job market can be. Graduates have a distinct advantage over other candidates. Some companies will not even consider a job candidate who does not possess some college education. Other employers pay more depending on the level of education the job candidates completed. According to the Unit-

ed States Department of Labor, employees with a bachelor's degree earn about 54 percent more on average than those who attended college but didn't finish. Workers with advanced degrees (master's, doctoral, etc.) can average $20,000 to $30,000 more per year than those with bachelor's degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Some students, however, will insist that failure to have a diploma isn't a barrier to success. For example, Richard Branson, the billionaire entrepreneur who owns Virgin Group, did not graduate from high school. But such people are an aberration. Typically, earning a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree is a key ingredient to landing a good job and enjoying professional success.

Team Italy chefs win gala honors It was an all-Italy night at the Rotary Club of Farragut’s second International Food Gala as four chefs from the Pellissippi State Community College’s Culinary Arts Institute program each won a $250 scholarship and a new Chef’s jacket as their Melton Clifton Italian cuisine swept the awards. Team Italy was selected by a trio of celebrity judges as the Top Chefs and Team Italy also won the People’ Choice Award from the crowd of approximately 130 diners. The diners at the UT Visitors Center on April 23 also enjoyed Asian, Spanish and French dishes from the other three Pellissippi teams of chefs. The Italian chefs prepared and served Gnocchi, stuffed meatballs, Cannolis and Peach Bellinis. On the team were Jayme Willoughby, Taylor Clifton, Jason Melton and Nick Werth. The celebrity judges were Citico’s Restaurant and club chef Robert Allen, Knoxville author/chef Barbara Tenney, and chef Andre Nowading of Whole Foods. Farragut Rotarian Keith Bryson, who directed the event, said the club raised approximately $10,000 that

will be used for scholarships to Pellissippi students and for other projects the club supports. The three $1,000 sponsors were club president Dale Read and Read Windows; club member Ray Fisher and Fisher Tire Co.; and Citico’s RestauWilloughby Werth rant & Club at WindRiver. Club member Sam Taylor and family at Dixie Lee Wine & Liquors donated the beverages. Dr. Tom Gaddis, the coordinator of the Culinary Arts Institute program, told the crowd: “It’s our honor to be affiliated with Rotary again for this great event. This is a wonderful event for our students and the program.â€? â–

MPC staff initially recommended against general commercial and staff were backed by the MPC commissioners. But Sternberg appealed their denial to Knox County Commission where he found support. The issue was remanded to MPC. Executive Director Gerald Green came to Powell, meeting with neighbors and Sternberg in March. He then met privately with Sternberg to hammer out conditions for rezoning. Now staff is recommending approval of planned commercial with multiple conditions: ■Landscaping – a 10foot strip installed between development and any street or road to include trees; and a continuous row of shrubs buffering any parking areas. Landscaping can be added as property is developed.

Real estate markets spring forward After steady progress in March, local real estate and lending markets turned significantly upward in April. We saw 1,113 property transfers in Knox County, easily surpassing the March total of 991, and also well ahead of the April 2015 pace of 918 sales. The total value of property transferred leaped from $198 million in March to nearly $241 million during April. This was an increase of some $65 million over last April’s figure of $176 million. It was the largest April output of total real estate sales since 2007. On the lending side, just over $347 million was borrowed against real property in Knox County, besting the March total by more than $50 million. By comparison, about $317 million was loaned in mortgages in refinancing during April 2015. The most notable real estate transfer of the month was an $8.576 million commercial sale involving a hotel property off Peters Road near the Market Place in West Knoxville. The largest mortgage transaction was a loan for $10.25 million financing the Trinity Hills senior living facility off Asheville Highway. With one third of the year in the books, 2016 appears on pace to outperform last year in both real estate transfers and mortgage lending. As of April 30, approximately $771.6 million worth of land has been sold here, compared to about $691 million during the first four months of 2015. Mortgage lending is currently running around $60 million ahead of last year’s levels. All of us at the Register’s office were saddened by the passing of Mrs. Peggy Bright, mother of our longtime record room supervisor, Bill Bright. The Bright family has meant so much to us through the years, and I know many people have been touched by their kindness and generosity. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Turkey Creek poker

A poker-playing minister finished third in the Rotary Club of Turkey Creek Sunset’s recent fundraiser – its “Texas Hold ’em for Service Above Self� poker tournament at SouthEast Bank in Farragut. Walt “Santa� Swanson finished first, Jerry Martin second and third was Max Reddick, president of the North Knoxville Rotary Cub and minister at Fountain City Presbyterian Church. “This was our most successful fundraiser ever,� said club president Paul West.

Sternberg property back to MPC on Thursday The 37-acre tract on Emory Road adjacent to the Powell Branch Library is back on the planning comm i s s i o n’s agenda for Jim Sternberg rezoning. M P C meets at 1:30 p.m. T hu r s d a y, May 12, at the City C o u n t y Building. N o w zoned for Gerald Green mixed use – residential and commercial – the owner, Dr. Jim Sternberg wants a more traditional commercial zoning.

property report

â– Curb cuts will be limited to three on Emory Road, including the existing entrance to the Powell Animal Hospital and the existing entrance to the residential-style structures (former Bell homeplace) to the west. â– Pedestrian connectivity must be ensured; including a greenway easement along Beaver Creek. Trails or sidewalks shall be installed from the Emory Road sidewalk to the proposed Beaver Creek greenway. â– Building design: To ensure that new buildings constructed on the property are compatible with the character of the Powell community, all new buildings shall be constructed with street-facing facades of brick, stone or other high quality masonry material. No vinyl shall be used on the

front facade of any building; A minimum of 30 percent of the first floor of the front facade of all retail buildings shall be windows, doors or other form of glazing. â– Plan review: The approval of site and building plans for development of all or any portion of the property shall be through the use on review process, with the MPC having authority to approve the plans. This has been a sticking point with Sternberg preferring no further review. Development plans may be submitted for all of the property or any portion of the property if the development is undertaken in a phased manner. The North County Sector plan must be amended to allow this rezoning. Sternberg is represented by land use attorney John King.

Clover Cottage, Knox Graphix: Building business in 2016 and beyond By Sandra Clark Who says American free enterprise is dead? Surely not Fountain City residents Josh and Amanda Sellers. The young entrepreneurs represent the next business generation, and they’ve found a home in North Knox County’s oldest commercial building. Amanda bought the former J.R. Williams & Bros. property at the corner of Commerce Road and Depot Street in Powell to relocate Clover Cottage, her 5-year business. Her dad helped with restoration and she moved in, only to be flooded when a waterline broke. She had no idea the county was planning to close the railroad crossing at Commerce Road, severely reducing access to her store. “Hallsdale Powell was easy to work with and the insurance covered our loss,� Amanda says. Knox County is exploring ways to improve the intersection at Emory Road and Depot to support safe traffic flow. Amanda figures things will be OK. Besides, she’s got garments to design, trade shows to attend and sales to make. More than 90 percent of her business is wholesale, she says. She’s already out of space to stock merchandise which she has made in China, shipped to Powell and repackaged for shipment across the Southeast. “One day a UPS truck pulled up and everything inside was for her,� said Josh. Josh and Amanda have been married only since February. He seems amazed at her energy and drive. “She works me to death,� he grins. Josh owns and operates Knox Graphix, located adjacent to Clover Cottage. His website and Facebook page

J.R. Williams & Bros., circa 1910. Josh Sellars reproduces old photos on canvas and mounts the print on old barnwood. He recently bought a barn, just for the wood. This example of his work hangs in the retail store at Clover Cottage.

Amanda Sellars stands by a retail display at Clover Cottage in Powell, but she gets most of her Josh Sellars shows off his newest vinyl printer. sales from myclovercottage.com

show the range of his work. “Customize, customize, customize,� he says of his business plan. He’s bought most of his equipment off Craig’s List, including a new heatbased gadget that presses an image onto a shirt so smoothly that it can’t be felt. Josh prints team gear, Tshirts and posters on vinyl or canvas. He offers embroidery

her craft by attending clothing trade shows with her grandmother and a neighbor. She’s been going since age 13. Creativity is a key. Without legal protection, her designs are copied by Chinese vendors. “We have to stay a week and a half ahead,� she says. That, and labor costs, are reasons she cannot open

and unique designs. Customers drop in frequently to chat, especially about the building. “We’ve heard 50 million stories,� says Amanda. “Some say (the building) was a movie theater or a bathhouse or the train depot. We hear the movie theater most.� Amanda studied business at UT, but she learned

a factory to produce her hair bows and baby clothes in Powell. Being a wholesaler, she has to turn out a lot of product in a short time. She accepts piracy as a cost of doing businesses and just creates new designs. “We’re Southern, baby,� says Amanda, describing a camouflage onesie that sells well at gun shows.

She and her mom have visited the Chinese factories that make her products. Tales from that trip are for another column. Drop by to see the building and meet Amanda and Josh Sellars. Their pace is warp speed, but the premise is the same: produce something people want to buy and you’ll succeed.

With over 38 years spent mastering his craft, he carries on a family business founded in 1978. His mother, Mary Carpenter, was a member of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC), but she also wanted to be able to fi x the timepieces she collected. She began by reading and studying on her own, and soon Mike joined in. She eventually opened a shop, with Mike going to work at

age 14 and learning the business from the ground up. After graduating from Farragut High School in 1983, Mike went on to play college basketball. A knee injury sidelined his dream of playing pro ball, so he returned home and took over the store in 1990. Since then he has kept antique clocks ticking at the Ramsey House, Mabry-Hazen House, the Crescent Bend House and the Knox County Courthouse. As one of only a handful of certified clockmakers in the United States, Mike is part of a specialized group that gets smaller each year. As clockmakers retire, there are fewer apprentices to learn the craft

and become certified. Why the decline? In Mike’s opinion, “The younger generation now gravitates to newer technology and the internet.� Horology, the art and science of studying and measuring time, has evolved over the centuries. Once considered a luxury, pocket watches were the standard in the 1920s, then wrist watches became popular over the next several decades. Quartz watches replaced Mike Carpenter with best dog Charlie spring wound and became the that goes inside.� He won’t refinish standard for everyday watches. clock cases. Mike is truly old school when “Antique clocks are old, they are restoring timepieces. “Every job is meant to look old. If a customer different and I don’t cut corners. wants a new clock they should buy The customer doesn’t see the work a new clock.�

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Two weeks can change your life Stroke survivor gets back on his bike John McDermid is looking forward to the summer days ahead. He has big plans for his new recumbent trike. “Plans are to ride every weekend on the trails around the area, if possible,â€? says McDermid, 57, who lives in Jefferson County, and works in Hamblen County. The recumbent trike is a multi-terrain vehicle McDermid can use on or off road, with an adjustable seat, rear wheel drive, and front twowheel steering. “It has a 28-speed gearing system like a typical mountain bike,â€? McDermid explains, “real smooth and comfortable.â€? One of the most important features of the recumbent trike is its stability. McDermid is a stroke survivor who, just a few years ago, could barely walk. Therapy at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center helped him get back on the road. McDermid was at ďŹ rst misdiagnosed as having vertigo, then further symptoms were misdiagnosed as being related to the medication he’d been given. On Oct. 14, he lost all use of his limbs, and his wife called 911 for an ambulance to rush him to Knoxville. The ďŹ nal diagnosis was vertebral artery occlusion with dissection and stenosis of the basilar artery, meaning two of his arteries supplying blood to his brain were not doing their job. Surgery was deemed too risky, so McDermid spent three weeks in the hospital’s critical care unit. The whole experience caught McDermid off guard, because he never suspected he was at risk for a stroke. Reviewing his risk factors at the time, there weren’t many to count. He’d dealt with a bit of hypertension, and there had been some family history of heart disease, but on the whole, McDermid had been doing all the right things to stay healthy. “I would say I was in decent shape and good weight as I was cycling quite a bit at the time, feel- McDermid says. “No idea that ing life was good at 57 years old,â€? something like this would happen to me, but it was not your regular stroke, either.â€? It was a different person who checked out of the hospital in November 2014. John McDermid, very active and seemingly in good recognizing a stroke health just a month earlier, now required assistance to accomplish Use the FAST test to daily tasks. remember the signs of a stroke: “I could not walk,â€?

Therapy took McDermid from the wheelchair to a walker, and from the walker to a cane. He was also challenged to master leg exercises, and walking on stairs. An occupational therapist worked on his ďŹ ne motor skills like tying his shoe laces, getting dressed and working with his hands. “Speech therapy was by far the most challenging,â€? McDermid says, “but rewarding.â€? The speech therapy consisted of cognizant therapy, problem solving, multitasking, reading and writing. McDermid met every challenge, and one reason for that was the

attitude of the therapists who were trying to help him. “Their compassion, work ethic and dedication to their professions are so apparent that it makes you want to work as hard as humanly possible,â€? McDermid says. “They are all so positive that it’s infectious.â€? Two weeks later he was released to outpatient therapy closer to home. “Wow, there was a huge transformation,â€? he marvels. Faith, family and friends gave McDermid the homegrown support and encouragement he needed to heal, and return to his life back home. PNRC gave him the tools to get there. “I would most deďŹ nitely recommend Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center over any other place in the world,â€? McDermid says. “What they do is truly amazing, the therapy has been developed and tried, and it works.â€?
