The case for ‘66

Safe driver

Larry Mercier was one of five school bus operators recognized by Knox County Schools May 18 for excellence in driving. This is the second monthly award ceremony to honor the county’s school bus operators. Mercier, a driver for one year, transports students from Halls middle and high schools and Copper Ridge Elementary. KCS presented each winner a certificate of appreciation, and awards sponsor Ted Russell Ford presented each with $100. WIVK is also a sponsor of the recognition organized by Commissioner Bob Thomas.

The phrase repeated most at Clayton Park’s official opening on Norris Freeway in Halls on May 23 first came from Beaver Dam Baptist pastor Alan Price during the invocation. “All that this will mean for the years to come.� It means several things. The good: Playground equipment, a picnic shelter, park benches, a special flagpole, restrooms. The questions: No amphitheater (yet), no splash pad, changes from the original master plan that county parks and rec senior director Doug Bataille says are due in part to lack of funding. The future: Seat swings, the amphitheater that was included in the original plan, maybe more.

County Mayor Tim Burchett declared it “a great day for Halls,� introduced the park’s major donor, business owner and former local TV personality Jim Clayton, and said he hated Clayton didn’t bring his guitar. Clayton, who has had a presence in Halls via a Clayton Homes plant since 1970, praised Halls native Wilma Jordan, successful in New York publishing, who first called him for funds. “What an amazing lady. I had to say yes.� Jordan was unable to attend, nor was Carl Tindell, who chaired the original community fundraising drive a decade ago. Halls Business and Professional Association co-president Michelle Wilson said the park represents a successful partnership between

government and community. Halls Women’s League president Mary Carroll said the flag pole and dedication sign near the park’s entrance were the vision of former president Shelba Murphy. The American flag, donated by U.S. Rep. Jimmy Duncan, flew over the Capitol. State Sen. Becky Duncan Massey gave a state flag. Halls guy Mike Bundon sang the “Star Spangled Banner� as Crye raised the flag. People began using the park before it opened. Last week, one guy played “Misty� on his sax. A mom brought her kids to play, then two more young families appeared, one boy racing through the lawn sprinkler like it was a water feature. The playground features a poured-in-place rubber surface

that is safer for children, easier for maintenance and allows easier wheelchair access. The park is approximately 11 acres. It includes roughly 70 parking spots, still insufficient for a splash pad. Bataille calls the asphalt a necessary evil. “There is no other way to get into the park.� The park cost more than $1 million. Clayton’s gift was $300,000 and Tindell’s group raised another $300,000 for land acquisition and initial planning. Bataille said the county has spent $750,000 in labor, materials and equipment including 108 trees. State grants of $120,000 were secured. Bataille called it a savings from the approximately $1 million original master plan “had we contracted it out.�

Burchett angry at state’s failure to help mentally ill By Betty Bean

“When is the war on the mentally ill going to stop?� This was Tim Burchett’s question when he made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows to denounce the state’s decision not to help fund a behavioral health urgent care unit (formerly known as the safety center). Normally a fist-bumping jokester, the county mayor didn’t hide his anger over the Haslam administration’s failure to come through with the money to allow Knox County to divert mentally ill and addicted inmates from the jail population and steer them to treatment options. Burchett made multiple trips to Nashville to secure funding, and said he’d been led to believe the state would pony up some $2 million needed to make the center happen this year. Knox County put $1 million aside for the facility several years ago, plus another $200,000 in this year’s budget. Mayor Madeline Rogero has set aside $200,000. That won’t be enough, but Burchett vowed to find the money and dismissed the expla-

nation he was given for the administration’s decision. “I was misled about that, and I’m very put out about it. I was told, ‘Mental health is a local issue.’ Well, dadgummit, then, why do we have a Department of Mental Health in the state of Tennessee?â€? He said the largest mental health hospitals in the state are the Shelby County, Davidson County and Knox County jails, and didn’t dodge the question of whether denial of state funds amounts to a broken promise by Gov. Bill Haslam: “Yes. I’m of the opinion it was – but regardless of the state’s partnership, we’re going to go ahead with it‌â€? Burchett said about half of mentally ill inmates are veterans and accused the governor of breaking his promise that funding would follow the patients after he shut down Lakeshore Institute in 2012. “We closed down Lakeshore and everybody loves Lakeshore Park – but where are those people going? You drive under any major bridge in Knoxville, you’ll see the

human cost.� A couple of days after his talk show appearances, Burchett still hadn’t cooled off, and said he was offended that Haslam was pleading budget constraints while spending $8 million subsidizing the TV show “Nashville.� “They pulled the rug out from under us. I don’t like it when they start explaining that they didn’t get as much money as they expected, but I see all these little projects getting funded. I spent 16 years in the Legislature, was on the Senate Finance Committee and chaired the Budget Subcommittee. I know the system and I don’t like hearing that crap. I know that taking care of the mentally ill’s not sexy like that miserable TV show – which has been cancelled, thank goodness – but when they talk about return on investment, I say, ‘What about investing in somebody not going to jail when what they need is treatment?’� Former Attorney General Randy Nichols is working as special counsel to the sheriff on issues of mental illness, domestic violence and the prescription pill epidemic. He said

the new unit will be staffed by nurse practitioners, a psychiatric nurse, with doctors available as needed. Inmates could stay up to three days to be stabilized and evaluated. “The people we’re dealing with now get into trouble because they don’t take their prescribed meds and get into crisis. Rather than take them to jail, we can transport them to this center, get them back on their meds and keep them up to three days. From there, they can move on to another facility where we could keep them up to five days to get them sober and thinking clearly. The ultimate goal is to get them into permanent supportive housing, and our ultimate hope is to help them find some kind of work so they can be productive and stay out of jail.� Burchett is still hoping for state support. “We’ve probably got 400 people locked up right now suffering from mental illness. It’s a nightmare, and it’s costly. We’ve got to figure out a new way to do it.� Gov. Bill Haslam’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Life in railroad’s gilded age Abraham Kingsley ‘King’ Macomber (1875-1955)

“It was the flower of the golden age of passenger equipment. ... no perquisite of wealth and importance will ever achieve the distinction of the dark green private varnish car that for half a century rolled splendidly over the nation’s railroad system.� – Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg, Hear the Train Blow: A Pictorial Epic of America in the Railroad Age, New York, 1958.

The Seminole, a private railroad Pullman car that once was the pride of A.K. Macomber, sits behind the historic Southern Railway Depot. Restored to the grandeur of an era described in many popular books by Beebe and Clegg, the car is now the property of the Old Smoky Railway Museum. Abraham Kingsley “King� Macomber was born in Hackensack, N.J., on March 7, 1875, the second of three sons of Dr. Henry Kirke Macomber and Amelia Collerd Macomber. When King was only 9 years old, the family moved to Pasadena, Calif., where his father established his medical practice. At age 20, King found himself in Central Africa with adventurer Frederick Russell Burnham and seven other Americans where they spent six months surveying and mapping mineral deposits in what is now Zimbabwe. Hostilities broke out between the group and the natives. The group escaped a massacre but was under siege for two months until rescued by the British military. Macomber spent some time in London then returned to the U.S. late in 1896. In 1899, Macomber met and married Myrtle

Jim Tumblin

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES Harkness, the daughter of wealthy Lamon V. Harkness, one of the largest stockholders in Standard Oil. Myrtle had acquired a love of horses since she spent much of her youth at one of her father’s several estates, the 400-acre Walnut Hall Farm near Lexington, Ky. As a result of its Standardbred horse breeding operation, one of the best known in the world, the farm grew to 2,000-acres and eventually to 5,000-acres and 1,400 horses. Although it has been sub-divided several times, Walnut Hall remains in the hands of Harkness descendants. Today, the popular tourist attraction, the Kentucky Horse Park, occupies part of the original farm. The young couple maintained residences on both coasts, but King’s business interests were mostly in California. He became a founding partner of the Los Angeles Trust Co. in 1902 and expanded it into a multi-bank empire and engaged in early oil exploration. When he bought a cattle breeding operation called Rancho Cienega in Paicines, Calif., in 1906, he invested heavily in a large new home and stables and introduced the breeding of thoroughbred horses into the operation.

His race horse business continued to grow until federal legislation in 1911 banned pari-mutuel betting. Macomber and some other breeders moved their operations to England and France. The Macombers moved back to the States in 1915 as World War I escalated. Although the ban on gambling was lifted, racing was limited by the U.S. entry into the war. With the war over, King Macomber expanded his operations in both Kentucky and California. The racing world was shocked in September 1920 when it learned that, upon the death of William K. Vanderbilt, Macomber had purchased Vanderbilt’s complete racing stable in France for $2 million. The package included the Vanderbilt chateau 20 miles outside Paris and a stable of 38 prized brood mares, four stallions and 52 younger yearlings and foals. His horses were running well in the States with six of them entering the Kentucky Derby over a period of years. Star Hawk ran second in 1916 and War Cloud placed fourth in 1918. He won a number of other important American races, including the Travers Stakes, the Suburban Handicap and the Withers Stakes. He was also winning major races in France and England. His most famous colt, Parth, won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 1923 and Gold Bridge won backto-back King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in 1933 and 1934. Although he was hailed as the undisputed dean of American society in Paris, the horse racing circuit in

the States was also important to the Macombers. For about six decades no other possession so identified those both rich and famous as a private Pullman car. During that time, the Pullman Company provided some 450 private and business cars at prices ranging from $50,000 in the 1870s to $350,000 for Barbara Hutton’s Curley Hut in 1931. By 1915, Macomber felt he needed his own private railroad car and chose the Pullman Company to provide it. The Seminole was delivered to his staff in Palm Beach, Fla. The deluxe car had three large staterooms, a room for Myrtle’s personal maid, a kitchen, a dining area and a room for his crew. King Macomber now needed to make an appearance on the correct private car tracks and at the right

season of the year. A typical year would often begin in Palm Beach until February, then to Louisville for the Derby in early May, on to Pimlico in Baltimore for the Preakness in mid-May and to New York for the Belmont Stakes in June. After the Travers Stakes in Saratoga, N.Y., they proceeded to Del Monte on the Monterey Peninsula in California in autumn. No doubt, the Macombers and the Seminole passed through Knoxville on the Southern Railway more than once as they traveled their annual circuit. By 1927, Macomber acquired another token of his success – a new yacht built in Southampton, England, at a cost of $400,000, called the Crusader. At 175-feet long with two 400-horse power diesel engines, the Crusader was the largest private yacht constructed in England since the war. It was designed as a floating home, a nest of unexpected cabins and staterooms, each one beautifully decorated with hidden features for the comfort and pleasure of the

owners and their guests. Noted sportsman and horse breeder, A. K. Macomber, died in Paris on Oct. 5, 1955, leaving an estate of $16,084,597. He bequeathed more than $900,000 to relatives, friends and employees and his remaining estate to his widow, Mrs. Myrtle Harkness Macomber. So ended the final chapter in the long and happy life of Abraham Kingsley “King� Macomber.

Built by the Pullman Co. to the Macombers’ design, the Seminole, now owned by the Old Smoky Railway Museum in Knoxville, carried the Macombers on the annual horseracing circuit and to society events at Biltmore and in Palm Beach. Photo submitted

A whole lota huggin’ going on

This is how Halls High School alumnus Doug Cox described the 45th reunion of the HHS Class of 1971 held May 14 at Li’l Jo’s BBQ in Maynardville. Curtis Petree, also a 1971 grad, owns the restaurant.

“Curtis was in his usual rare form and the food and service were wonderful,� said Cox. Terry Janeway traveled the farthest, coming from Arizona. Janeway and Cox put together a group of bikers for a post reunion ride May 15 on the Cherohala Skyway and Deals Gap. Marcia Glidewell Shloush and Carol Hutcheson Wolf were instrumental in pulling the event, and the alumni, together.

Class of 1971 Carol Hutcheson Wolfe and husband Hugh Bill Crisp said he thought the highlight of the night for everyone was that alumnus Eddie Ferguson was located and attended the reunion. Crisp also gave a rousing speech at the reunion. He focused on technological changes along with major events that occurred during the lives of the 1971 graduates who saw, not only the turn of a century, but of a millennium.

“In our lifetime we have witnessed what I consider to be three life-changing events,� said Crisp. “We were alive when President John Kennedy was shot and killed, when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and when 9/11 happened.� Always known for his sense of humor, Crisp ended his speech on a lighter note. “Many of us look like we’re staring through a fun

Suggestion: Remember ‘66 Never would I tell highly educated and compensated University of Tennessee officials how to run the University of Tennessee.

Marvin West

No, sir-eee, I wouldn’t do such a thing. I might make an occasional comment about the shortage of green, green grass on Shields-Watkins Field or the goofy hall of fame or the desperate need for more and better diversity ideas. Those words were/are for Shopper readers only.

Once I spoke out about the alarming disregard for a longtime UT employee with a lengthy list of accomplishments. Several said amen but nothing came of that. I could have offered sound advice on how to hire basketball coaches but what I think wouldn’t matter much to those in high places who are completely confident they already know. Never would I complicate such a task – or snicker about consequences. I have an opinion about the university playing deaf and dumb and permitting certain stadium fans to stand for entire games in front of other paying customers who want to watch while sitting. I have already been told that the official position is “There ain’t no

law against standing.� Now that I have established that I do not want to run the store, please view what follows as a very gentle suggestion for possible consideration: It sure would be nice to recognize the Tennessee football team of 50 years ago, the 1966 Volunteers, before they get old and thin out. Anniversary celebrations are so much more fun when the celebrants can walk. UT officials, if they so choose, could do it on the cheap, pick an unlikely sellout, maybe Appalachian State or Tennessee Tech, and give those genuine Vols for life a free ticket and invite them to brunch or a box lunch and listen politely to tall tales grown considerably taller over time.

Please, less baloney Hey candidates! Give us less baloney and more meat and potatoes. Although the first votes won’t be cast until 2018, county commissioner and radio personality Bob Thomas kicked off his campaign for county mayor this month with a baloney cutting at Howard Phillips’ real estate company in Powell. The location was no coincidence. In 2009, Tim Burchett announced his campaign for mayor there as well. Burchett got elected in 2010, was re-elected in 2014, and is term-limited. At the baloney cutting, Bob Thomas publicly embraced Burchett’s legacy and thanked him for “making Knox County strong.� Of course, it’s not sur-

Scott Frith

prising that Thomas would say that. Burchett is popular and a political asset for a lot of reasons. First, from a political perspective, the Burchett administration has been a success. No tax increase. County debt has decreased. Burchett fought for friends in East Knox County by funding a new Carter Elementary School instead of renovating the old one. More recently, Burchett solved a generations-long, political problem by building a Gibbs Middle School.

$

In fact, with the exception of a few personal and political hiccups, Burchett has been drama-free and is well-positioned to move on to Washington or Nashville. Being county mayor has been good for Tim Burchett. Yet, as the next election approaches and the candidates line up to replace him, it’s important to question whether Tim Burchett has been good for Knox County. Burchett has been great on taxes and debt (both should be priorities for any ambitious Republican politician), but like any family or business, there’s more to being in charge than simply balancing the checkbook. Think about it. Knoxville is a great American community, yet has remarkable and untapped potential. Our ac-

The ’66 team, third of Doug Dickey’s six, won eight and set the stage for the big year that followed. There are so many memories, good and bad. Linebacker Tom Fisher, an all-American-to-be, died that March in an auto accident, on his way back from spring break. Paul Naumoff, established at defensive end, switched positions to fill part of that void. The Vols were No. 8 in the AP poll the week they lost at Georgia Tech, two to one in field goals. A week later, Tennessee lost to Alabama, 11-10. A kick for a UT win, ruled wide right, changed Gary Wright’s life. Mississippi spoiled homecoming. The Vols defeated all others, including four-touch-

cess to interstates, railways and the Tennessee River make us well-positioned to be a regional leader in business. Knoxville’s scenic beauty, proximity to the Smoky Mountains, as well as the county’s 100 miles of undeveloped ridges, have the potential to make us a tourism mecca and an outdoorrecreation wonderland. Yet, instead of remaining focused on these big-picture goals, too often the Burchett administration has gotten bogged down in factional politics. For example, just as only Richard Nixon could go to China, only a former state senator from West Knoxville (like Burchett) could get away with building two expensive and unnecessary schools (Gibbs Middle and Carter Elementary) on the opposite end of the county. Our standard for success is too low when an adminis-

down romps over Auburn and Vanderbilt. Highlight was the triumph over Syracuse in the Gator Bowl. In one dramatic moment, the aforementioned Naumoff struck Larry Czonka under the chin, stood him up, denied a touchdown and became a legend. This was an almost great football team – Bob Johnson, Charles Rosenfelder, Dick Williams, Bill Young, John Boynton, Elliott Gammage, Bobby Morel, Derrick Weatherford, Jimmy Glover, on and on, tough guys, really tough. The forward pass was invented previously but 1966 was when it became significant at Tennessee. Dewey Warren threw the football 229 times. School singleseason record had been 75 attempts. Before the Swamp Rat completed 136, the record was 36, set by John Majors a

decade earlier. Warren produced 1,716 passing yards. The previous high was 552. Receivers Johnny Mills, Austin Denney and Richmond Flowers told Dewey several times that they made him famous. Charley Fulton and Richard Pickens helped. There was another 1966 record. A very large rock was coaxed onto campus to become a landmark. Bill Dunne, professor of Earth and planetary science, said it was ordinary dolomite, 500 million years old, more or less. Students put away coloring books and began painting the rock. As traditions go, it is beautiful. In my opinion, marvelous memories are worthy of preservation. Bringing back the ’66 Vols is only a polite suggestion.

tration is most-remembered for building two schools that we simply didn’t need. I like Tim Burchett. I expect I’ll vote for him the next time he runs for office. But here’s hoping the next mayor not only balances the county checkbook, but also has a grander vision

for making Knox County an even better place to work and live. We’ve gotten enough baloney from candidates. In the next election, let’s demand some meat and potatoes on the issues.

It’s a wrap! Tennessee Highway Patrol cruisers will have the black-and-cream color scheme applied with adhesive vinyl instead of paint, saving an estimated $1,910 on each marked vehicle. Tennessee purchases its THP vehicles in black, and in the past has applied the cream paint to create a two-tone color scheme at a cost of $2,300 per vehicle. When a vehicle reaches the end of its service life, the THP markings are covered by painting the entire vehicle white, at an additional cost of $350, before the vehicle is sold as surplus property. The cost of a vinyl wrap is $740 – a savings of $286,500 for the 150 cruisers to be purchased this year, according to a THP press release.

Freeman challenges TVA

to step up renewable energy game Toward the end of what was billed as a public conversation with S. David Freeman, a young woman in the audience invited the former TVA director to come back to Knoxville Aug. 25 and rally a citizens’ group before they converge on a TVA board meeting to demand greater attention to energy efficiency.

Betty Bean “We would be honored if you would come speak to them, and it would draw more media attention,� said Amy Kelly of Appalachian Voices. Freeman, who turned 90 in January and has managed more utility companies than anyone else in the country, smiled. “How could I possibly say no to you?� Freeman pushed to dismantle TVA’s nuclear energy program in favor of promoting renewable energy when he ran the agency during the Carter administration, and he found an enthusiastic audience last week when he came to town to visit old friends John and Nancy Stewart. He was also here to publicize his latest book, “All Electric America: A Climate Solution and the Happy Future,� and to issue a challenge to TVA to change its direction.

President Obama will reappoint Mike McWherter to a second term on the TVA Board of Directors this year. McWherter, son of the late Gov.

nessee) out of more than 100 applicants. These seven did airport interviews and two were then invited to campus. Eight persons were on the committee, including one student. Robbin Taylor, vice president of public affairs for Western Kentucky, was quoted when asked about recent controversies at UTK as saying, “I think a lot of that is behind you.� Really? Who has she been talking to? Does she really think the Lady Vols name-change controversy has vanished? Is she unaware of the negative publicity with the ongoing federal lawsuit over gender discrimination? Not to mention the legal costs, which reached $1.2 million last week in a court decision. Is the Legislature now contained and retreating into silence? Doubtful. That one statement demonstrates how clueless she must be and how much she has to learn. Clearly, she had not done her homework for this job application. What the chancellor needs now more than ever is a local East Tennessean who knows this region and its traditions to advise UT on a sensible, effective strategy. Was no qualified person from Tennessee recruited or encouraged to apply? Does UT not seek out persons who understand and are part of the Tennessee fabric for such a critical public relations position? Nichols is leaving in five weeks. Provost Susan Martin is returning to teaching classics. Chancellor Cheek is silent on his plans. Nichols has forgotten more about Tennessee customs and the Legislature than this new person from North Carolina or Kentucky will know. ■Mayor Rogero announced her three new appointments to MPC last week, a day after this paper had carried the news. She apparently has a communications office that was AWOL on this issue. ■Leaving MPC after years of good service are: Bart Carey, Jack Sharp and Michael Kane. Both Sharp and Kane are from Fountain City.

Tailoring tradition at Powell Church By Cindy Taylor A new group, “The Powell Church Men’s Vocal Band,� will officially launch this Father’s Day. Church members are already signing up and practice has started. The singers will also perform during the 11 a.m. traditional service at various times throughout the year. Associate pastor the Rev. Martha Atkins says “traditional� however, may be a bit of a misnomer. “The fact that we are a come as you are church is true for the traditional service as well as the contemporary,� said Atkins. “We maintain a worship environment in which jeans or suits; shorts or dresses are the norm for any Sunday.� Atkins, pastor of the traditional service, says that the 11 a.m. service includes a mix of choral music, hymns and contemporary songs with piano accompaniment, elements of liturgy, prayer, scripture and sermon. “Rather than trying to compete with bright lights and big sounds, we recognize that some personalities prefer a more reflective style of worship,� she said. “That is why we have chosen

Photo by Cindy Taylor to continue traditional worship in the sanctuary with the stained glass windows.� Atkins says a group of young adults recently imparted that while they love the contemporary worship, with the bright lights and big sounds, they sometimes want something that includes a little quiet and reflective time. They say they love the old hymns but a guitar thrown in and an upbeat tempo would be good. “We are attempting to listen to our young adults and tailor traditional worship to the reflective style they are seeking,� said Atkins. One of the ways the church hopes to expand

the traditional style of worship is by launching the new men’s group. Men of all ages are invited to come and enjoy the opportunity to sing together. Tammy Kunselman, the traditional worship leader at the church, will be leading the group. “We are extending the opportunity to be a part of this new endeavor to the community,� said Kunselman. “Anyone who enjoys singing but doesn’t have a lot of time to devote to a regular rehearsal schedule is invited. This is a short-term commitment for men to come together for three to four rehearsals and then sing for a Sunday morning service on a quarterly basis.�

Kunselman says the repertoire will include traditional and contemporary music combined in some form each week. “Many familiar tunes have been remixed with a contemporary flair to update songs in ways to meet the musical tastes of many generations.� Rehearsals will be held on Wednesdays from 7-7:30 p.m. June 1, 8 and 15. The band will officially launch at the 11 a.m. service on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19. Powell Church is at 323 West Emory Road in Powell. Info: 938-2741 or email tamerakunselman@powell church.com

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1: 1-2 NRSV) Recently, we were traveling and, is our custom, we sought a church of our denomination where we could worship on Sunday morning. We were greeted warmly by the folks around us. One woman complimented my dress, and I explained to her that I was wearing my Pentecost dress. She looked a little puzzled, and I told her that I wore it every Pentecost because it was red, with streaks of fiery yellow and a little green, and some blue here and there, and because years ago, I served in a church where everyone wore red on Pentecost Sunday. We settled in for the service, enjoying the hymn singing and the special music. Then the sermon began. It was an okay sermon (somewhat longer than I am accustomed to) but the substance was fine, with one exception. The pastor kept referring to the Holy Spirit as “he.� It was all I could do not to come out of my seat! Years ago, I learned that Spirit – in both Hebrew and Greek – is a feminine noun. It pleased me no end to find out that the Trinity – the Godhead – is made up of Father, Mother and Son! What a nice little family! Spirit shows up early in the Bible: another translation of the second verse of the first chapter of Genesis says that “the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep.� Interesting, isn’t it, that wind and Spirit are synonymous? So, with every wind that blows, we can consider it a kiss from our Mother!

Learning to Believe

At breakfast my mother said, “I thought I’d get out of work early and come watch you play.” “It’s raining,” I said. “I won’t melt.” “Don’t you think they’ll call off the game?” “I certainly hope not,” put in my father. “I’ll come too. What’s a little rain?” “That’s what they said when Noah began building the ark.” I would have gotten into more trouble if I said what else was on my mind. If I thought it might have kept me out of the game, I would have. More likely, it would have only

CHAPTER EIGHT: Story So Far: With the special soccer team so inept, advice and encouragement come from everywhere, and boys struggle on in search of a winning game. I won’t describe that Saturday practice. Just say the fathers were serious. My idea of a good practice was that time when Mr. Lester told us about the Battles of Bunker Hill and Gettysburg. Our fathers practiced us as if we were going into a battle of our own. We hated it. Anyway, that week we were going to play Hopewell. When I woke up on the morning of the game, it was raining like crazy. “Great,” I thought. “They’ll cancel.”

meant grounding, and since the ground was already under water, I kept my mouth shut. Worse, my father was right. They didn’t call off the game. We got into uniforms and raincoats. What a combo. At the field, it was cold, wet, muddy and very, very stupid. Mr. Lester gave us his usual dynamic talk. “Gentlemen, this will be a true test of your characters. Conditions are terrible. It was either play or forfeit. We voted to play.” “I don’t remember voting,” said Saltz. “You’re not old enough,” said Hays. Mr. Lester, like all losing generals, ignored advice from his ground troops. Instead, he merely shifted his umbrella from one hand to the other. “Give it your best,” he suggested, “your true best.” “We already did,” said Dorman. He sounded bitter. “Make us proud,” Lester urged. And us miserable, I thought. “Remember,” said Mr. Lester as we swam out to the field, “they have it as bad as you do.” Maybe. The difference was they knew how to play the game. Probably even wanted to. We didn’t. Oh, we went out there. We tried to play. Honest. With a bunch of dripping fathers and mothers on the soggy sidelines sort of cheering, we gave it a shot. The shot carried four inches. Maybe. I read a book about World War I. Trench warfare. It was nothing compared to our game. The whole field was like a bottomless mud pit. When we began, the muck was over my shoes. From there on, it rose higher. When the ball came down, instead of bounding, it would hit with a humongous SPLAT! showering mud everywhere, which stuck to whatever it touched. The ball got so waterlogged it was like kicking a cannonball. Some lowlights. We were losing, naturally, by about 21 to nothing. I was already a little shell-shocked. I didn’t mind the trench warfare. It was as if they were using me for target practice. There I was, leaping this way and that, like a wet yak trying out for the lead role in a Spider-Man movie. It got so bad that after a while, when I looked up, I noticed our team had retreated into a kind of wet human wall, semicircle around our goal. As walls went, it wasn’t exactly the Great Wall of China. More like Jericho when it kept tumbling down. Shots kept coming in. Once, I took this great leap. Somehow, I tickled the ball with my frozen fingers when it went into the net (making it 35 to nothing). I did have the satisfaction of seeing that at least the ball went in crooked. But then, when I came down in the muck, I lost my wind and all desire to get up. I just lay there in the mud and rain, relaxed and feeling curiously happy. Next thing I knew Mr. Lester as well as my mother and father were squatting down over me.

“Ed! Ed! You all right?” I heard my mother cry. I opened my eyes. For reasons I don’t understand, these people were trying to keep the rain off me. What took them so long? “Are you all right?” asked Mr. Lester in that super-quiet voice he reserves for true panic. Remember: I was his best player. “Sure,” I said, perfectly calm. “I love this.” My father didn’t like my attitude or altitude. “Get up, Ed!” “It’s safer here,” I said. That was the big difference between World War I and our game. After being shell-shocked, those guys got to go to Paris for a weekend of fun. I was told to be a target again. My favorite memory of that afternoon, however, came a little later. I saw the ball come to rest in a puddle—actually, the whole field was a puddle. This one was just a mile or so deeper than everywhere else. The resting ball, however, brought Eliscue and Fenwick at a gallop, each running at the ball full-tilt, neither seeing the other. They met the ball with a huge BONG! It must have been at the exact same moment, for the ball went up, I mean straight up, somewhere into the rain clouds. The two guys stood there, bewildered, turning around, back to back, one against the other, trying to figure out where the ball had gone. Well, since the ball went up, it came down. It hit them both on their heads at the same moment. And it was a heavy, waterlogged ball. Well . . . They were knocked out. Both of them. Once again, Mr. Lester ran out onto the field, umbrella in hand. I think Fenwick’s ma was there too. When those boys got up, they wobbled. Somewhere around that time, everybody agreed that the U.S. Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment, and since we had yet to score even one goal that season, there was little likelihood of our scoring a catch-up forty-two goals in the last five minutes of play, so they called it quits. That night both my parents came into my room. “Ed,” said my father, lifting the hot water bottle from my face. “What?” I didn’t even want to talk sex. “We liked what we saw.” “You didn’t see anything but mud.” “I could see improvement,” said my father. After all, he’d helped set up the extra practice. I snuggled down under five blankets, trying to get warm. “Believe in yourself, love,” my mother all but chanted at me. “Believe in yourself and you can do it.” I closed my eyes and let my mind drift. Two games left. I told myself it couldn’t get worse. Which only goes to show how even I had gotten suckered into believing. Because, actually, it got worse. (To be continued.)

SENIOR NOTES

Harrod is known for her impeccable fashion sense and her love of heels, the higher the better. As the news of her retirement spread through the school, students began writing her notes, and one class created a book titled, “Where Will Mrs. Harrod’s Shoes Take Her?” Each student wrote where they thought she would go, including Dollywood, Florida, the beach and possibly New York City. She has spent 42 1/2 years in education: teaching in Arkansas before moving to Tennessee where she has worked with special

education students, serving at Brickey-McCloud as an assistant principal and principal at Mount Olive for five years, and finally landing at Adrian Burnett three years ago. She has been the school’s biggest cheerleader and supporter of the staff, and she is thrilled that assistant principal Michelle Wolfenbarger will lead the group next school year. Harrod plans to spend time visiting with her parents in Arkansas and enjoying time with her grandsons who live in Knoxville. She is already making plans to travel, spend time with her family, catch up on her reading, relax and visit the beach. “I am just going to be me for a while,” she said. She will miss the staff at Adrian Burnett, and the friends that she has made while working in Knox County, but Harrod said that she will miss the kids the most, saying that they are the best part of the job.

Elmcroft Assisted Living helps its residents remember good times from the past with a program called Second Wind Dreams. Rose Davis coordinates a brief trip and lunch date for a resident, sparking memories and allowing family members to share in the event when available. Davis recently took Korean War veteran Harry Avon out for lunch at The Chow Hall on Emory Road so he could sit and chat with (owner) David Brice’s dad, Jerry. The Chow Hall is not only known for an excellent hamburger, but also for honoring veterans for their service. Avon said he started as an office clerk in the Navy and worked his way up to helping maintain the ship. He recalled how, while working with a British fleet, their crew was

amazed that the United States service men had ice cream on board and lots of food to eat. “We didn’t realize how good we had it in the Navy until then,” he said. He worked at General Electric for 30 years before retiring. He and Theresa, his wife of 56 years, have four children and four grandchildren. They moved to Knoxville to be closer to a daughter and now call Elmcroft their home. Avon’s memory is sharp, but he resides in the memory care unit at Elmcroft because he refuses to be away from his wife. The Brice family presented Avon with a certificate of appreciation and thanked him for his service. Following his walk down memory lane with Brice, Davis took Avon out for his favorite fruit, freshly picked strawberries.

Lumber Company in 1880 in Martins, Pa., after he was “stripped clean as a picked bird� in the Panic of 1870. He had taken a job running a small mill, cutting white oak timbers for the Pennsylvania Railroad. As soon as he was old enough to work, his son, Luther C., became an employee of the company. Toward the end of the 1800s, vast areas of southern Appalachia remained relatively untouched by industrial logging. L.C. Hassinger moved his family to Konnarock, Va., in 1906, acquiring 30,000 acres in the mountains around Damascus, Va. In 1912, L.C. bought land along Strait Branch and extended the Virginia-Carolina Railway into Konnarock. It cost

$90,000 to build a threemile section of railway from Konnarock to Whitetop Gap. Lumber companies left the area in the late 1920s. The Hassingers sold their holdings to the Forest Service when it began buying cut-over land between 1926 and 1930 to establish what has become the Jefferson National Forest. The mill closed the day before Christmas in 1928. Luther C. Hassinger left Virginia in 1929, when he and two sons, Bill and Martin, bought Bristol Builders Supply, a leading retail building materials business in Bristol, Va. Although they opened during the Great Depression, the Hassingers survived, later opening four more warehouses.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

A timely decision A decision had to be made. Janet Kendrick’s husband was having trouble walking and talking. She asked him repeatedly if he was having a nightmare, if he was awake, and if he was okay. Neil Kendrick’s words were garbled, so she couldn’t make any sense out of what he was trying to tell her. Unable to get answers from her husband, and not completely understanding what was happening to him, Janet had to decide whether or not she should call for an ambulance. She made the decision when she realized she couldn’t take care of him by herself. “He put his whole weight on me when he stood up,” she says. “I knew if he fell, I couldn’t get him back up.” That split-second decision to call 9-1-1 turned out to be a critical one. Today, the Kendricks sit calmly at the dining room table in their new home recalling the events that led to Neil’s ischemic stroke, and the treatment he received at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “We tend not to dwell on things,” Janet says, “and after something happens, we move on.” Neil doesn’t particularly like the limelight, and he’d be happy leaving the frightening events of that day in the past. “I’m not the kind of person who wants his story in the paper, but if it will help someone, yes.” When neurointerventional radiologist Dr. Keith Woodward asked Neil to share their story for that very reason, Neil wasn’t about to turn him down. “And I told him, ‘You just saved my life, I’ll do whatever you want.’” Neil says he Dr. Keith woke up one Woodward morning in December 2015 and noticed that he couldn’t feel his right arm. As he raised up to get out of bed, he discovered he had no feeling in his right leg, either. He tried to speak to his wife, but

Just a few days after being released from Fort Sanders Regional on Dec. 14, 2015, stroke survivor Neil Kendrick and his wife, Janet, were on the road to North Carolina for their grandson’s college graduation. Pictured are Neil Kendrick, Christa Tarver, Hayden Tarver and Janet Kendrick.

the words he formed in his mind were coming out of his mouth as something else. Janet awoke to find him sitting on the edge of the bed, struggling to get up. Minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and she was told that it appeared her husband was having a stroke. “Gosh, it’s scary,” Janet says of the whole experience. “Everything’s scary … and you pray. You pray nonstop.” Emergency personnel recommended her husband be taken to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, and soon the ambulance was pulling away from the house and rushing toward the hospital.

Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center has been recognized by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, which means it is part of an elite group of providers focused on complex stroke care. Complex Stroke Centers are recognized as industry leaders, and are responsible for setting the national agenda in highly-specialized stroke care. Neil Kendrick had the absolute best odds for full recovery, because he was taken to Fort Sanders Regional in a timely manner. The formal diagnosis came after an MRI, and Neil found out he was a candi-

date for a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and a thrombectomy. Ischemic strokes happen because of blockage inside a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain. Clot busting Janet and Neil medication Kendrick enjoy has to be their marriage, their adminisfamily and their tered within new home today, a short winbecause Neil was dow of time promptly taken in order to to Fort Sanders be effective, Regional Medical and Neil was Center following an in that winischemic stroke. dow. A blood clot is physically removed intravenously in a thrombectomy. This procedure also has to be performed in a short window of time. “I could feel little pin pricks here,” Neil says as he taps his lower forehead. “It didn’t hurt, but I could tell something was going on in my brain.” He was repeatedly asked to say his name. “I couldn’t say it, but I kept trying because I knew they were asking me for a reason.” Then suddenly, less than 10 minutes after the procedure began, this stroke victim became a stroke survivor as he blurted the answer clearly – “Neil Kendrick.” At the same time, he realized he could feel his arm and leg again. The emotion of the moment is still with him, as he gives a knowing look to Janet. “It was amazing,” he says. When the two were reunited, it was an emotional moment. “We both cried,” Janet says as she looks lovingly at her husband of 50 years. “We were just praising and praising!” She describes the feeling as “pure joy,” an emotion that still

overwhelms her when she thinks about the day her husband was returned to her, fully restored. After being admitted to the hospital on Sunday morning, Neil was released on Monday evening. Just a few days later, he was taking his wife on a road trip out of state to see their grandson graduate from college. A week later, they were hosting the family Christmas gathering. Two months after that, they were packing boxes and moving into a new home. It’s likely that none of these important life events would have been possible without prompt stroke treatment at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. But for Neil Kendrick, that’s not the greatest benefit of recovering from a stroke. “I don’t think so much of how it would have affected me,” Neil says as he glances toward Janet, “but I think a lot of how it would have affected her life if she’d had to take care of me.” The Kendricks say they’ve heard that many stroke patients wait before coming to the hospital. In fact, Neil imagines that’s what he would have done if the choice had been left up to him. “I’m pretty sure if I had been able to talk, I would have communicated that I didn’t want an ambulance,” he says. Janet responds in short order, “Well, it’s good you couldn’t talk – you would have been fussing at me!” After the two share a good laugh, Neil speaks more seriously to the matter. “I kept thinking, ‘I can fix this,’” he says. “but I could never have fixed it.” Janet has advice for spouses, children and caregivers who may be present when a loved one is exhibiting signs of a stroke. “Don’t hesitate,” she says firmly. Neil agrees. “People put off going for care after a stroke, and that’s what causes long term disability,” he says. “I’m very hesitant about letting people take control of my life, but that morning, thank God, they did.”

Education key for treating stroke It’s not just the studies he’s read throughout the years that convinced Dr. Arthur Moore – it was seeing the difference that the clot-busting drug tPA can make in the lives of ischemic stroke patients. “The benefit with tPA amounts to about a 30 percent increased chance of minimal to no deficit and able to live on your own at three months,” says Dr. Moore, medical director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. “It’s not an overnight thing, but we’ve seen it turn patients around.” Still, he says, the greatest obstacle to reducing death and disability due to stroke remains education of stroke’s warning signs and tPA – and not just educating the patients but their loved ones and health providers, too. “It starts with recognition on the patient’s part,” he said. “Patients will wake up at night and not be able to move one side and go back to sleep. They’ll say, ‘Awww, it’ll be better in the morning.’ Well, by the time they wake up in the morning, I can’t do anything. That stroke is

already there. So that’s No. 1 – increased recognition. “Then, it’s increased recognition on the part of Emergency Medical Services and people in emergency departments where they say, ‘This is a stroke’ but willing to take it one step further: ‘This is a stroke and I can treat this.’ It’s recognizing that tPA does have benefits. It’s saying, ‘We CAN treat this patient and they CAN get better.’ And if they can’t do it there at one hospital, it’s recognizing that they need to go to a higher level of care.” “Once we start educating people and they’re recognizing the symptoms and getting to the hospitals, that’s great,” Dr. Moore continued. “But if you have a bottleneck in the hospital – if you sit around for an hour and a half and see if it gets better before we think about giving the medicine – that’s the wrong way to approach it. We need to approach it as the emergency that it really is.” Yet, failure to recognize those signs and seek treatment quickly continues to contribute to take a toll on the 800,000 victims each year, causing it to be the third-

leading causes of death and No. 1 cause of disability each year in the United States. Certainly, tPA carries risks – a 6 percent chance of bleeding with a 3 percent chance of worsening the symptoms and 1 percent risk of death. Even so, most patients elect to take tPA rather than face a life of disability in a nursing home. Dr. Moore says FSRMC is expected to handle hundreds of stroke cases this year. Of those, he projects about a fifth will be eligible to receive tPA. “It’s highly variable but here lately we’ve been averaging about 10 times a month,” he says. “We’re quite a bit higher than the national spectrum as far percentage of patients. We have a goal this year of greater than 20 percent of not only getting tPA to obviously eligible patients, but getting those patients here in enough time to where we can do it. We want to be aggressive because we are comfortable with the medicine. We know what we are doing and when we give it, it helps patients.”

A real Fountain City beauty By Carol Z. Shane Isaak Lawson, 6, and his big sister Laiken (“seven and a half�) live in a huge, rambling house built in 1905 off of Tazewell Pike in Fountain City. They have a big yard with plenty of trees to climb, a trampoline and a swing set. They’ve got lots of room to grow. And their mom, Kira, likes that. A lot. In fact, she grew up in the same house. And she and her husband, Brandon, have spent so much time lovingly restoring the house and its grounds that they’ve earned the Honor Fountain City Day Residential Beautification Award. Kira, who is an interpreter for the deaf, describes growing up in the grand old house with a “big, loud family� and says, “Fountain City is important to me because it is home. It is so fun watching our own children grow up here.� The couple – he owns Southern Grounds Landscaping – are graduates of Central High School, where Brandon played football and Kira cheered. Both continue to be enthusiastic supporters of the Bobcats. Laiken is in her third year of Bobcat youth cheerleading, and Isaak is “itching to play football� and “waiting with bated breath to join next year when he is old enough.� Kira is currently coordinator for the Bobcat youth cheerleading program. The Lawsons bought the house from Kira’s parents in 2013. Because her dad suffered a stroke in 2008, much repair

was needed. They started by restoring the front porch. “We had to remove the brick and pour footers to achieve a stable foundation for the porch,� says Brandon. “We reused all the original brick. The front gable had been changed in the 1980s so we took it back to its original look.� They chose Hardie board siding, and spent many hours sanding the front door and sidelights to restore them. “The back patio had also fallen off the house,� Brandon says. “Once again we had to remove the brick and pour footers. We were able to save the original brick there.� As for the yard, “it is a continuous project,� says Brandon. “We installed a large French drain close to the street to alleviate flooding. We dressed this up by adding river rock and large boulders. We have cleared all the underbrush next to Tazewell Pike and removed most of the overgrown plants.� They’ve put in rows of begonias and sweet potato vine. Near the side door there’s a beautifully-maintained Japanese dogwood. Pink rosebushes line the wraparound porch, and a row of rocking chairs invites visitors to sit and enjoy the breeze. “The people of Fountain City truly are genuine,� says Kira. “Our family has been through much over the past two years, and it has been so wonder-

Fountain City’s last ‘mayor’

used them to market either groceries or confections. During this time, confectioneries were very popular. The City Directories contain long lists of businesses selling “Confections and Fruit,� eight wholesale and almost 60 retail confectioners in 1922, including the most famous, Peter Kern and Company, on Market Square. The historically-accurate pen and ink drawing by Charles Williams reveals the gap between buildings through which one could walk from the park to the lake. For several years, the Coopers operated a carousel which was located on Church Street beside that pathway. William E. Cooper passed away on Oct. 22, 1930, at only 54 years of age. Dossie Miller Cooper presided over the activity on “her� corner for another 38 years. She passed away on Nov. 23, 1968, at 86 years of age and is buried beside her husband and her parents in the family burial plat at Greenwood Cemetery.

When Dr. Jim Tumblin makes the keynote address at Honor Fountain City Day, he will talk about Fountain Citians who made a difference. One was Dossie Miller Cooper. This is her story. When Fountain City was annexed in 1962, Dossie Cooper called her friend Knoxville Mayor John Duncan and said, “John, you’ve taken my job away from me.�

Jim Tumblin

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES “Never mind, Mrs. Cooper, I’ll give it back to you,� Duncan said. So, Miss Dossie resumed direction of activities along her block from the balcony of her apartment on the corner of Hotel and Broadway including supervision of the street cleaning crew. She was considered the unofficial “mayor� of Fountain City from the 1940s well into the 1960s. Dossie Tate Miller was born on October 2, 1882, the oldest of six children of Rufus Tate “R.T.� Miller (1849-1921) and Sarah Hartley Miller. R.T. was born in Anderson County near Clinton. He received a liberal education there and left to seek his fortune in Knoxville and soon married Sarah “Sallie� Hartley of Union County. Their marriage produced four sons and two daughters: Dossie, Hugh (1885-1956), Roise (1890-1951), Alba (Mrs.

W.D. Wahl) (1897-1995), Charles (1900-1972) and R. Jewell (1906-1987). The family home was at 2711 5th Ave. (now Holbrook) in the beautifully restored home that was awarded Town Hall’s Home Beautification Project of the Year in 2003. R.T. Miller was elected trustee of Knox County in 1896 and held the office until 1899. Soon thereafter he established the R.T. Miller Real Estate Company with offices on Market Square and in Fountain City. The Deed Index at the Knox County Archives contains 26 pages with over 75 real estate transactions credited to R.T. Miller. They include a 300-acre farm on Bull Run Creek, a 40-acre farm in Brushy Valley, a 55-acre farm on Loyston Pike, three pieces of Market Square property, Lots Number 3, 7 and 8 on Hotel Ave. and more than 25 transactions for properties in old Fountain City, several involving

multiple lots. Many were on 2nd (now Ocala), 5th (Holbrook) and 7th (Bernhurst). He donated the property on Holbrook where his church, First Baptist Church of Fountain City, is built. One historically important transaction was recorded on March 30, 1903. Col. J.C. and Nannie J. Woodward and Sol H. and Mary A. George sold the lot on the corner of Hotel Avenue and Broadway to R.T. Miller and W.E. Cooper for $2,700. Since the property was just across the street from the Fountain Head Railway Station, it was a center of activity. From 1890 to 1905, 10,000 fares were collected on an average day with many of the passengers visiting the park or the hotel. That made the newly acquired Miller-Cooper property a prime location for businesses that would move there later in the century – including the Miller’s Fountain City Confectionery. Dossie Tate Miller and William Everett Cooper were married on April 10, 1902. William E. Cooper (1876-1930) was born in Knoxville, the son of William R. and Isabel Nave Cooper. A veteran of the Spanish-American War (1898), he worked in both the retail coal and real estate business locally. Early City Directory information is limited beyond the Knoxville city limits of the period; but, by 1905, the directory reveals that “R.T.

Dossie Miller Cooper (1882-1968) lived in the second story apartment at this corner for over 60 years. Art work courtesy of Charles Williams, the artist; inset courtesy of the C.M. McClung Historical Collection.

Miller, grocer� occupied the southwest corner of Broadway and Hotel. In 1916 the “Fountain City Confr Co, drugs� is listed on the west side of Hotel. The 1917 directory lists the “Howard and Zion Drug Store� at that corner with James D. Howard and Dr. Elkanah Zion as the owners. Dr. Zion’s medical office was in his home at

2461 Broadway near Chickamauga. By 1920 “W.E. Cooper, Confectioner� is listed specifically; but the location is identified only as “west side of Hotel.� The family owned three buildings in the fi rst block of Hotel and it appears that Dossie and William Cooper and her brothers, Roise and Hugh Miller,

From page C-1 ful to have support from the community as we finalized our adoption with our two children. I truly believe this community has helped them heal and learn what a sense of ‘family’ in the community is. They say it takes a village to raise children, and that is so true. Between our family, friends, church and community leaders, we have been blessed by the Fountain City community.� Brandon agrees. “It’s a beautiful place to live and raise a family.�

Six-year-old Isaak Lawson longs to be a Central High Bobcat footballer, but for now he enjoys swinging in the Japanese dogwood.

The 1905 home and its grounds have been awarded the Honor Fountain City Day Residential Beautification Award.

Buddy’s Bar-b-q By Carol Z. Shane

I

t’s time to honor Fountain City, and the folks at the North Broadway Buddy’s Bar-b-q are busting their buttons. Because of its new stacked stone facade, revamped landscaping and other improvements, their restaurant has been named the winner of the Honor Fountain City Day Commercial Beautification Award. Pointing out a beautiful 25-year-old Japanese maple by the entrance, supervisor of operations Sandy Hayes says, “There were so many bushes around it that you didn’t even notice it.� Now it has pride of place, set off by a small fence and carefully placed rocks. Hayes started as a cashier at Buddy’s 31 years ago. She’s enjoyed her years working for the family business, which opened its first restaurant on Kingston Pike in 1972. “I’ve enjoyed getting to know the people,� she says. One of the managers, Darrell Upton, comes over to say hi. “He’s been with me for 20 years,� says Hayes. “It’s been fun,� says Upton. The two clearly have a camaraderie. “Me and her,� says Upton, gesturing to Hayes and grinning, “I couldn’t leave. She has

‌ wins beautifi cation award me stuck!� The staff of the North Broadway location, which Hayes says is Knoxville’s highest volume Buddy’s, is indeed like a family. Another manager, Emily Thomas, started as a teenager. She

now counts eight years at the restaurant. “They come here as a kid, then they get married and have kids of their own,� says Hayes. In her office, she has a bulletin board packed with photos of those who’ve

grown up at Buddy’s like she has. “I’ve been blessed with a lot of that.� All of them are clearly buoyed by their recognition, and excited about all the improvements. Taking a walk around the

lot, Hayes points out various items of interest. “We just redid that this year,� she says of the new facade. “New sign, new LED lighting, we did it all!� Overrun during a recent $5.99 dinner special, the

employees don’t seem to mind the daily rush. “When you serve people food, it’s the best part of the day for them,� Hayes says. “And good food feeds the soul; I’m a firm believer in that.�

Dr. James Conner Tumblin: A Southern Gentleman Lynn Pitts wrote this in 2004 for Shopper News. It was modified in 2016. Dr. James Conner Tumblin says he was born in 1926 in a mortuary, a fact which his younger brothers still take delight in teasing him about. He does go on to explain that it wasn’t actually a mortuary at the time; it was an apartment, but it later became McCarty Mortuary in Burlington. His father and mother, Earl and Gladys Tumblin, had lost their only daughter the year before, just two weeks after she was born at Old Knoxville General Hospital. His mother decided home was a better place to have babies. It was the humble beginning of a distinguished life. He has gone on to excel in his field, reap honors from his peers at a young age, serve his country in not one, but two branches of the military, and make a life as well as a living in a place he loves. I first met Dr. Tumblin at Shannondale Health Center just down Middlebrook Pike from my church. I was there with a small ensemble to provide music for the Sunday afternoon worship

service. It was my first visit, and I was assessing the surroundings, trying to figure out the logistics of singing in a crowded room, staying in front of the closed-circuit TV camera, and connecting emotionally and spiritually with the residents, many of whom were in wheelchairs. A handsome, silverhaired gentlemen stood up from the crowd and helped me find hymnals, turn the piano a little and rearrange the furnishings at the front of the room to accommodate the singers. I realized he was a visitor there, but could not know then that he is practically a fi xture at Shannondale. I since have tried to remember if he told me his name that day. On subsequent visits, I have come to expect the same helpfulness and quiet welcome. It was not until one Sunday afternoon several weeks ago that he shook my hand and told me his name, looking me straight in the eye. I realized that he had not done that before – really looked at me – and that part of his quiet charm is his very real shyness. But here he was, waiting to see the light dawn. And dawn it did! I was shaking hands with a colleague who also

writes for the Fountain City News section of the Shopper, and my partner in what I like to think of as “Now and Then.� I write about people who live in Fountain City and Gibbs now, and he writes about the history and early residents of the area. Since then, we have corresponded via e-mail and forged a friendship based on a common love of books, history and our deep roots in this part of the world. I thought our readers should get to know the man behind the history, and asked him for an interview. Dr. Tumblin’s father had only a fourth grade education, but he was a math whiz and a natural salesman, and so, when his first son was born, left his job as a telegraph operator for Southern Railroad to become an underwriter for the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York. He was also a wise and canny father who decided that his introverted eldest son needed social interactions outside the family circle. Jim Tumblin became a Boy Scout. He rode public transportation weekly from Fountain City to First Christian

Church on Fifth Avenue where Knoxville Troop 3 met. It was the Depression, and the boy, now grown up, wonders how his dad afforded the fare. The TVA lakes were being developed during those years, and the young Jim Tumblin spent the better part of several summers helping clear the land and construct cabins for what would become Camp Pellissippi. By 1943, he had reached the highest rank in Scouting, that of Eagle Scout. Extended family provided the tapestry against which his childhood played out. His mother grew up in Fountain City as one of eight children of Perry B. Conner (hence Dr. Tumblin’s middle name), and their clan, along with another set of cousins, the offspring of W.A.A. Conner, lent their name to three streets in Fountain City: Conner Road, Conner Drive, and Rennoc Road. (Rennoc is Conner spelled backwards.) His father was instrumental in young Jim’s choice of profession. He took his son to visit several businesses in town, to help him understand what people do all day. One such visit was to the office of an

optometrist friend of the family. Jim Tumblin knew then, his freshman year in high school, that he would become an optometrist. So, what sparked his interest in history? The answer comes quickly and with no hesitation. Miss Nannie Lee Hicks, who taught him American history at Central High School. “She made it live,� which may be the highest compliment anyone can pay to any historian. “She had all of her senior students write essays about a local historic treasure spot (her term for a place with a particularly rich history) or some other historic subject. I wrote about my ancestors in the Civil War.� Miss Hicks’ students’ essays have been collected in the school’s “heritage room� and at the McClung Historical Collection downtown. Dr. Tumblin says unequivocally that her books Historic Spots of Knox County, Tennessee and particularly The History of Fountain City, now in its fourth edition, are still the best histories of the area. Dr. Tumblin, like any good historian, is an inveterate storyteller. He recounts his Civil War an-

ÂĽÂ˜ÂŞĂž

cestors’ (mostly mis-)adventures with easy familiarity. Samuel H. Tumblin, with the 22nd North Carolina Infantry, lost a leg at the battle of Chancellorsville the morning after Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded. His father’s maternal grandfather, George Washington Carney, lived what Dr. Tumblin refers to as “a story for the ages.� He was captured at Vicksburg by Grant’s forces, kept as a prisoner until the Union had too many prisoners to house even inadequately, freed on condition of not taking up arms again. He later fought for the Union (“surely under coercion,� Dr. Tumblin smiles), was captured by Nathan Bedford Forrest and imprisoned in Cahaba, Ala. In 1865, he was placed aboard the Sultana, a steamship headed north on the Mississippi carrying thousands of POW’s, but the ship blew up near Memphis, in what is still the worst maritime disaster in U. S. history. Carney fell from the second deck to the first, severely injuring his leg, but swam to shore and managed to walk home, from Memphis to Jalapa in Monroe County.
