Fountain City Man and Woman of the Year By Sandra Clark Mark Enix and Kathy Cloninger were named Fountain City’s Man and Woman of the Year at the annual Honor Fountain City Day in the Park on Monday. The event is each Memorial Day. Mark Enix owns Fountain City Jewelers Inc. He is known for his generous support of many community projects and his active involvement with the Fountain City Business and Professional Association, where he served as president and remains on the board of directors. Enix attended school in Claiborne County and graduated from Halls High School in 1986, after his family moved to Knox County. His dad, Marvin Enix, owned and operated Enix Jewelers in Halls, which is now owned by Mark’s brother, Bill. Mark Enix graduated from Paris Junior College in Texas, majoring in jewelry technology. He is a member of the Independent Jewelers organization which offers trade shows, educational seminars in such topics as gemology, and promotes consumer protection. Enix’s major claim to fame, though, is his leadership in the annual Easter Egg Hunt in Fountain City Park. If you’ve not seen him there, it’s because he’s disguised as the Easter bunny. The awards committee wrote, “His involvement and support have been continuous over the years, and he makes Fountain City a better place for all of us.� Kathy Cloninger has deep roots

Her grandfather, Dan Orndorff, built their home at 2823 Gibbs Drive in 1913, and a family member has lived there ever since. Kathy’s parents, Joe and Blanche Orndorff, raised their children there. With husband Kenny and sons Michael and Patrick, Kathy has worked to preserve and improve the house, making it a gracious home for family and

friends to enjoy. Cloninger has been a leader in recent efforts by the Gibbs Drive Neighborhood Association to preserve the beauty of Gibbs Drive, which remains a highlight of the Fountain City Dogwood Trail each spring. She has volunteered at Fountain City ballpark, Fountain City Elementary and Gresham Middle schools and Dogwood Arts.

By Jake Mabe They called it a historic day last Sunday (May 29) at Texas Valley Baptist Church, and so it was. After a special service, members broke ground on a new church building, which will be approximately 6,000 square feet and sit on the site of the former building, which burned nine months ago. Merit Construction is the contractor. It is scheduled to be finished within one year. But that’s all the boilerplate stuff.

Guest minister the Rev. Jerry Copeland read from Acts about Antioch. Allen Berry led the singing. Memories materialized – of B.F. Dalton, of Lynn “Chief� Brock, of Curtis Tindell, all gone home now. Shirley Etherton attended. Seeing her brought memories of her husband, Charles “Tud� Etherton, who’s also gone now.

Train to Run

at Tennova Health & Fitness Center

By Carol Z. Shane

It’s early evening and the weather is nice. Outside the Tennova Health & Fitness Center in Powell, a group of runners gather around coach Muna Rodriguez-Taylor, ready for their orders. “You’re running the 10K? All right, do eight 400s and a mile.” Turning to another, Rodriguez-Taylor directs her to “do four 400s, two 800s and a mile.” She encourages a participant in her walking plan, remarking, “she’s recovering from knee surgery.” It’s this kind of personal, individualized attention that makes Tennova’s Train to Run program such a success. Take Jean Miller, who has run for five years following a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and a suggestion from her doctor to “keep moving.” The reasons she participates in Train to Run are many: “proper technique, somebody making me do it, the camaraderie is great.” Once bedridden for two months, Miller is now a half marathoner. She credits “our fabulous coach.” Rodriguez-Taylor says with a smile that they also call her “the mean coach,” but it’s all in fun. “I get accountability,” says Miller. “I can’t cheat while I’m here.” Bernice Conner agrees. “I wasn’t going to do anything if I didn’t have some accountability. I’m a couch potato!” Nicole Yarbrough, Tennova’s fitness manager, had wanted a running program “for a long time,” says Rodriguez-Taylor, a former accountant who now works solely in the fitness field. After being told to “take this and run with it,” she developed her own training program based

upon principles she’s learned from 16 years of teaching fitness. Having earned a personal training certificate in 2008, her enthusiasm for exercise is obvious, and she enjoys helping anyone who wants to discover the mental and physical benefits of running. “We start with small steps, small goals,” she says. Within her current group, which includes a first-timer, she has a wide variety of athletes from walkers all the way up to marathoners and everything in between. The monthly Train to Run program is open to anyone – beginner to advanced – interested in running. During each fourweek session, participants learn to conquer initial discomfort and meet reasonable expectations, improving their speed, technique and distance. Much attention is given to prevention of injuries. Athletes gain confidence and friendships as well as health benefits: lowered risk

John Longmire is super Lion The Lions Club of Inskip is proud to announce that member John Longmire has been recognized by Lions Clubs International Foundation as a Melvin Jones Fellow.

Bonnie Peters

The presentation was made at an April meeting of Inskip Lions. A retired TVA architect, Longmire has been a Lion since 2004 and is a faithful and active member of the club. Everyone who knows him will agree that John would do anything he could to help anybody he is aware of needing help. John’s wife, Mary Lou, is also a member of Inskip Lions. The club was delighted that some of John’s

family could attend the presentation and dinner in his honor – daughter, Lou Ann Clabough and grandson, Philip Clabough; son and daughter-in-law, John and Patty Longmire; and sisterin-law Suzanne Matheny. Granddaughter, Suzanna Clabough, is away at college and could not attend. Lions Clubs International was founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones, a 38-year old Chicago business leader. He told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones’ group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed. After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago. The new group took the name of one of the invited John Longmire with Melvin groups, the “Association of Jones plaque

Celebrating spring

Lions Clubs,� and a national convention was held in Dallas in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objectives and a code of ethics were approved. The rest is history. As Lions approach their 100th anniversary in 2017, it’s a moment to look back on the long and proud tradition of service and the numerous achievements of our association and Lions around the world. Lions Clubs became international in 1920 by chartering a club in Windsor, Canada. In 1925 during the international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, Helen Keller charged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.� On April 6, 1949, a group of 39 civic-minded men from the Inskip community formed the Lions Club of Inskip. The club was sponsored by neighboring Foun-

community tain City Lions Club. From the very beginning, these men had the well-being of the community at heart. In 1953, a major project of the club was to build a building next to the school to house a library to be used by the school and the community. This building was later used as the Inskip branch of Lawson McGhee Library. This building was in continuous use until the branch was closed by the county. The building was then given to the Inskip Lions Club and is now rented in the community as a service and as a fundraiser for the club. In 1958, the Club undertook the huge task of building a community swimming pool. The pool was officially opened on July 17, 1959, and was in operation until sold to the city of Knoxville in July 1975. During these years, the money realized from the operation

of the pool was used in the community mostly to help people with vision problems in paying for exams and glasses. Other needs were also met as presented. A member of the Inskip Lions Club would normally spend 20 or more hours each year working on community service projects and performing administrative duties for the club. Since the club is an organization of volunteers, the level of effort and participation will vary widely due to the interests, work schedules and personal time demands of the members. In May, the Inskip Lions recognized five fifth graders at Inskip Elementary School for their leadership skills and academic achievements. The community supports this event and attendance is extraordinary for a small community. Info: 687-3842.

Old Vols in the NFL Beware of coffee shop debates about Tennessee football. Bruises and even lacerations are possible. Egos can be damaged. Feelings may be hurt beyond repair. I innocently walked into one the other day and was immediately challenged to settle the disturbance. “Speak up,� said one combatant. “You know it all.� “You’ve been around forever,� said another.

One budding genius suddenly remembered that Raleigh works for his twin brother Reggie as a scout for the Oakland Raiders. Reggie is general manager and also a very famous father. His son, Kahlil McKenzie, defensive tackle, 6-4 and 319, is a Tennessee star-tobe. Reggie is very smart but did not play nearly as many NFL games as Raleigh.

When he died on May 24 at age 80, the community lost a fine leader. I connect Carl with George Davey; both were Lions and both lived on Cochise Drive up by Beaver Brook Country Club.

As an adult, he earned a bachelor’s degree (1989) and a master’s degree (1993) from UT. He then took a job with the state Emergency Management Agency where he worked for eight years. Carl was a charter member of Halls Community Lions Club for over 50 years. He was also the District Governor of the Lions Club International District 12-N Tennessee from 1998-1999.

It took time to return to the subject, Tennessee-born Vols who survived the rigors of pro football for extended periods. If you are guessing, offensive linemen do have a better chance for longevity than backs, receivers and linebackers. Judge Tim Irwin, former Central High tackle, played in 201 games, almost all with the Minnesota Vikings. Chad Clifton, from Martin, played in 158 for the Packers. He is new to their hall of fame. Mike Stratton of Tellico Plains played 156 for Buffalo. Bruce Wilkerson, from Loudon, played in 147, mostly for the Raiders. Harry Galbreath, from Clarksville, made it through 141

with Miami, Green Bay and the New York Jets. Nashville tackle John Gordy, teammate of John Majors, did 134 games for the Detroit Lions. Defensive tackle John Henderson (Nashville) had 133. Cleveland’s Bob Johnson was Cincinnati’s center for 126 games. Linebacker Al Wilson (Jackson) lasted for 125. Linebacker Mike Cofer (Rule High, Knoxville) played 123. Don’t set this list in stone. Jason Witten (Elizabethton to UT to Dallas) is gaining on 200 games. He holds the NFL mark for consecutive starts by a tight end and is third all-time to reach 10,000 yards in receptions.

Traffic calming, anyone?

The city is doing wonderful things to enhance Knoxville, but the chart above is not among them. Written by planner Don Parnell, the chart is an appendix to the city’s Neighborhood Safety Program. Want to get speed bumps on your street? Well, jump right in.

Looks like you start at the arrow on the left top – apply for a traffic safety study. Then meet with neighbors and staff to determine whether further study is indicated. A half dozen additional meetings ensue. If the city decides to go forward, consultants are hired and projects ranked.

Surveys and education are woven into the model. Speeders do not participate in such complex processes. Perhaps no one does. This schematic is a planner’s dream. Check back next year to see how many traffic calming projects are completed.

Burchett to Haslam: Sorry, not sorry; principal of the year award baffles Very little blowback and lots of attaboys – that’s what Mayor Tim Burchett says he’s gotten for his recent criticism of the Haslam administration’s refusal to kick in money for a facility to stabilize mentally ill and substance-addicted inmates. He made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows last month denouncing the state for reneging on a commitment to help fund a behavioral health urgent care unit (formerly known as the safety center). Burchett says he’s confident that the project will move forward, one way or another. “No hard feelings. It’s just politics. We’re going to move ahead. I understand the state didn’t want to fund any local projects, but we know it’s the right thing to do. In the end, I think everybody’s going to be at the table. Our local legislative delegation’s been very supportive, and they understand (the issue) better than most. Every day I receive correspondence from one of them, and it’s a piece of the moving parts we’re dealing with.� ■The announcement that Bearden High School principal John Bartlett is Tennessee’s High School Principal of the Year (named by the Tennessee Association of Secondary School Principals) came as a shock to many people. Wonder how Bearden High School teachers who got put through the wringer when the school’s evaluation scores plummeted from the highest possible level to

Betty Bean rock bottom lows last year are feeling? Knox County Education Association president Lauren Hopson probably spoke for a lot of them when she pointed out that teachers whose scores plunge to the lowest levels get assigned coaches and subjected to twice as many evaluations the following year, “and possibly get put on intensive assistance with the constant threat of losing their job hanging over their head... “Meanwhile, a principal who runs a school where (scores) dropped from a 5 to a 1 in one year is named principal of the year?????� And what about the Bearden parents whose daughters were members of the softball team before Bartlett summarily fired the highly successful coach Leonard Sams last year? “It makes us sick,� said Adam McKenry, Sams’ former assistant coach and booster club officer who has filed an ethics complaint against Barrett and athletic director Nathan Lynn. The complaint charges that Bartlett and Lynn failed to inform the boosters that it’s illegal for private citizens to build sports facilities on school property, and that had they known this, the parents would not have gone forward with building a new indoor batting facility on the Bearden

campus. And McKenry and another parent, Randy Susong, wouldn’t be stuck paying $700 per month on the note for the new building, which was named for Sams, who was abruptly canned after he led the team to the school’s first-ever state tournament run. The school board also approved the project. The softball boosters probably aren’t the only parents who are puzzled about Bartlett’s big honor, given the massive turnover among the Bearden coaching staff, across the board. Over the past four years, head coaches in soccer, tennis, golf, baseball, volleyball, basketball and football have departed, as well as every assistant football coach from this last season. McKenry, Sams and Susong are scheduled to appear at the school board’s Ethics Committee on June 6. ■The Bernie/Hillary battle is still raging on the national scene, but here in Knoxville, the two sides are joining to campaign for Democratic County Commission candidate Evelyn Gill, whose primary victory over Rick Staples in District 1 surprised a lot of political observers. “Bernie and Hillary supporters are canvassing the first district for Evelyn Gill. We want to show our community that while we have some disagreements, we are strongly supporting our local Democratic candidate, and we will be out in the district door knocking and getting out the vote for Ev-

elyn Gill,� said Paul Berney. Gill, a special education teacher with Knox County Schools, is a Sanders supporter who rode the Bernie wave in the UT- and downtown-dominated wards of the district, while Staples carried the pro-Clinton wards in the district’s heart. She faces a challenge from Republican Michael Covington, who is closely identified with local GOP regulars. Participants will meet at the Knox County Democratic Party headquarters for training at 10 a.m. and hit the streets at 11. ■Tennessee’s sunshine laws are among the strongest in the nation and require that almost all official communications should be open to public scrutiny. This is a frequent aggravation for local elected officials, who resent the fact that state legislators exempted themselves from the laws they passed. So they probably weren’t queuing up any sad trombones for GOP Rep. Susan Lynn, who’s been raising heck because emails discussing plans to challenge the federal government’s “bathroom guidelines� for transgender students got leaked. “Whoever did this – you know who you are – I implore you to act with more honor than that – to behave with Christian ethics,� she said in an email that also got leaked, prompting her to declare herself “shocked that the email about the leaked emails was also leaked.�

City secures grant to clean up two properties The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $350,000 in brownfield cleanup grants that will remediate contamination on two important city of Knoxville redevelopment sites: the former McClung Warehouses on Jackson Avenue and the former Sanitary Laundry site, 625 N. Broadway. EPA is funding $200,000 for the 15,000-square-foot, former dry-cleaning site in the heart of the Downtown North Redevelopment District and $150,000 for the five-acre former industrial site on Jackson Avenue. The city will be contributing a 20 percent match – a combined $70,000. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is partnering with the city and EPA on the cleanups, according to a city press statement. “We know that contaminants are present at the Sanitary Laundry and Mc-

McClung warehouses pre-fire. The ornate structures were a solid anchor on the north side of downtown. Clung Warehouses sites, and that’s a major roadblock in bringing these key properties back into reuse,� said Mayor Madeline Rogero. “The great news is that we’ll be developing a strategy to remediate the sites, and now we’ve got the resources to move ahead.� Anne Wallace, the city’s deputy director of redevelopment, said the two brownfield properties are highly visible and strategically located in their respective corridors, with “significant redevelopment potential.� “Without remediation,

the contaminated sites would continue to deteriorate, and that affects the value of neighboring properties,� Wallace said. Rogero said the cleanups will accelerate redevelopment throughout the Downtown North and Jackson Avenue corridors. The impact will be wider than just the redevelopment of the two specific properties, she said. “These cleanups will kick up a notch the amazing resurgence that’s already happening in these two redevelopment corridors.� Previous EPA brownfield assessment grants, totaling almost $500,000, identified specifically what and where contaminants existed in multiple sites on Jackson Avenue and in Downtown North. This follow-up round of grant funding will go toward remediation. The former Sanitary Laundry and Jackson Avenue sites have unique redevelopment histories and

are unusual in that both are city-owned. The city, motivated by blight-abatement and public safety concerns, purchased the McClung Warehouses portion of the Jackson Avenue site in 2013 from a bankruptcy trustee. The warehouses, dating back to the 1890s, were destroyed in fires set by vagrants in 2007 and 2014. The city acquired the abandoned dry-cleaning site on Broadway in 2014 in a tax foreclosure. The business had been a leading employer in the 1920s and 1930s. The details of the remediation work will be finalized by the city, TDEC and EPA. Then, later this year, an environmental consultant will be hired through a competitively-bid contract. Once rehabilitated, the city intends to sell both sites to private redevelopers. A mix of uses is envisioned for both properties.

Savelli’s marks 23 years on Sutherland Elizabeth “Liz� Savelli is completing 23 years running a popular neighborhood restaurant, Savelli’s, in West Knoxville. She opened up on March 1, 1993, and has been at 3055 Sutherland Avenue ever since. When interviewed, she said her most famous guest was Willard Scott, whom HGTV introduced to Savelli’s. But other well-known Liz Savelli patrons have included Tommy Lasorda, former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Tim Love, UT graduate and chef. Former UT football coach Phillip Fulmer and South College president Steve South are regulars. Savelli, 57, has worked the restaurant business her whole life, starting in Clearwater, Fla., working for the Sub Shop. She moved to Knoxville in 1993 and found the current site, which she leased until purchasing it a few months ago. The site was a Time Out deli with 28 seats; Savelli’s now has 49 seats. Meanwhile, she has raised four daughters: Kathleen, now 26; Rebecca, 28; Jessica, 30; and Christina, 33. She has six grandchildren, five boys and a girl. Kathleen is the only one who works in the restaurant, and she makes all the cakes. Liz Savelli says her most popular dish for lunch is the blackened grouper sub and for dinner is the grouper picante. She says her hardest job is “keeping good employees,� but “we have done well.� ■Alan Lowe, former head of the Baker Center at UT-Knoxville, has resigned from the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Archives in Dallas and accepted a position at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill. Lowe moved to Dallas in 2009. He was the first director of the Baker Center. ■Democrats are eager to win back control of the General Assembly. Their odds of achieving this are slim, but they are pushing it hard, including recruiting 23 women to run for the Legislature this November. The Democrats may gain seats, while failing to reach majority control in either house. Democrats claim that likely GOP nominee Donald Trump will alienate women voters from the

Victor Ashe

GOP ticket, but that may be wishful thinking. Three women are running here in Knox County, starting with former state Rep. Gloria Johnson, seeking to recapture her old House seat against incumbent Eddie Smith. Also being opposed by Democratic women are Reps. Martin Daniel and Roger Kane in traditionally safe GOP districts. The SmithJohnson race in November will be the most seriously contested local contest. Out-of-state PAC money will be evident for both. It is a first in Tennessee political history that one party (Democratic) is fielding 23 women for state House seats including a women opposing House Speaker Beth Harwell, the first woman in Tennessee history to be house speaker. She is a credible opponent and Harwell will have to campaign actively in her own district to win another term. â– Thackston School, located on Lake Avenue adjacent to the UT campus, closed its doors after 95 years last week. No announcement was made. Parents were asked not to talk to the media about it when informed a few months ago. Deborah Wofford has headed the school for many years, and it has had a student body of 100, starting at age 3 and going through fifth grade. Hundreds of Knoxville residents have attended Thackston over the years. The land it is on is being sold as this column is written. It is the end of an era. Prominent citizens attending Thackston include longtime Knoxville attorney Arthur G. Seymour Jr. â– Veteran General Sessions Judge Geoff Emery and his wife recently returned from a twoweek trip to Europe focused on World War II history. They visited the beaches at Normandy in France, the site of the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, and Germany. â– Vice Mayor Duane Grieve celebrated his 70th birthday on May 25. Council member Finbarr Saunders is the oldest member of Knoxville City Council at 71. Marshall Stair is the youngest member at 37.

wrote to my grandmother, Belle, when he was courting her. His love and respect for her were clear in every line, and because of the existence of that letter, his love lives on in history as well as in my memory. On the other side of the family tree, we also have the letters that my father’s brother wrote to Daddy and Mother during World War II. They contain first person accounts of some of the deadliest battles in the Pacific (Okinawa, Saipan and The Marshalls, his family learned later), carefully redacted by the censors who were in charge of keeping troop movements secret. Those letters are living history, and provide at least some explanation of why my uncle came home a changed man, a man who refused to talk about his experiences in the war. May God bless them all, with peace at last.

I am still thinking about Memorial Day and memories. There are memories we cherish, hang onto, re-visit time and again. There are others, of course, that we desperately wish to forget. Then, there are the memories that are painful, but worthy of remembering, lest we repeat our follies, our mistakes, our sins. The only good that can come from the painful memories is that we heed the lessons learned. That applies to all of us: children, grown-ups, pets, communities and nations. The sweet memories, the fun memories, the glowing memories, however, can, with time, heal the raw ones, transcend the sad ones, make useful the hard ones. One of the treasures I have in my possession is a letter my maternal grandfather, Maston Dunn,

I asked her. “Because you work so hard. When you work hard like that, you win.� She said it with such a nice smile, I almost believed her. “When’s your next game?� “Thursday. Pennington Prep.� “Do you mind if I come?� “I could think of better ways to kill an afternoon,� said Saltz. “And we’re already dead,� I said. Ms. Appleton giggled. Then she said, “Mr. Tillman wants to see you all.� Mr. Tillman was the school counselor. “Now?� asked Porter. “I have my special reading project to work on.� “That can wait.� “I don’t want it to wait,� cried Porter. “He’s expecting you all,� said Ms. Appleton, firmly. The five of us went to Mr. Tillman’s office. The rest of the team was already there. Mr. Tillman’s office was a fairly small place, meant for only one loser at a time, not a whole team of losers. Still, we managed to squeeze in. Walls were covered with cute posters selling joy and happiness. I thought it depressing, as if you weren’t allowed to be anything but happy. For instance, there was a picture of a kitten about to be dropped down into the Grand Canyon, with the slogan “Keep Laughing, Baby.� The cat wasn’t going to laugh for long, even if cats could laugh. There was another picture, a kid with a big smile. The message read, “It Takes Less Muscle to Smile Than to Frown.� I had an image of a mad surgeon figuring that out. Some fun. Mr. Tillman was not my favorite. A great big, huge guy; someone told me he played football and tried to make it with the pros. He was always dressed the same: turtleneck sweater with happy beads around his neck. Actually, I never trust anyone whose neck is wider than his brains. But I didn’t think Mr. Tillman would put that slogan up in his office. Anyway, he got us all in, then had us sit down on the floor and be uncomfortable. Really happy-like, he said, “How you guys doing!� For a small room, he talked large. “Okay,� said Radosh. Mr. Tillman leaned forward. “Honest?� “If you want the truth, Mr. Tillman,� I said, “we aren’t feeling so great.� “Excellent!� said Mr. Tillman, jangling his beads. “Now we’re talking truth! And you feel bad about it. Think miserable. Have bad dreams. Sense of defeat. Disappointment. Any bed-wetting? Kids tease you about the games? Probably some of your parents yell at you for being so rotten all the time. Any of you guys have girlfriends?� Eliscue, who’d had girlfriends from nursery school on up, raised his hand. “She pokes fun at you; never want to be seen with you?�

For the first time, I saw Eliscue ashamed that he even knew girls. “I know,� continued Mr. Tillman, “you guys are starting to hate yourselves!� “Mr. Tillman,� I said, “what can you expect? All we get from people is, ‘Keep on trying. You can win.’ I mean, we keep disappointing them. I am beginning to hate myself.� “I love you for saying that, Ed,� cried Mr. Tillman. “The trick is, do you believe in yourselves?� “Not a bit,� said Root. “Why not? Someone want to share his feelings with me?� “Because we stink,� said Dorman. There was a general murmur and nodding of approval. “Nope,� said Mr. Tillman, “I won’t buy that. I won’t let you run yourselves down. I believe you can do it. Let me share something with you guys. To win, you must trust yourselves.� “Don’t you have to be a little . . . good?� asked Barish. Mr. Tillman shook his massive head. “Heart!� he cried, thumping that mass of body where I guess he kept his heart. His happy beads bounced and rattled. “Mr. Tillman?� asked Porter. “Yes?� “I have this reading project. It’s really important to me. May I go work on it now?� Mr. Tillman looked as if he had been insulted, or his mother and father had, or his little sister (she couldn’t have been bigger) or maybe his whole family. “Boys,� he said, “the bottom line is this, ‘Don’t avoid your responsibilities.’� That was a new one. “Learn to accept your responsibilities!� he bellowed. “Learn that, and it will be worthwhile!� There was some more. Just as loud. Mostly it added up to the same thing: we owed them. “Wish they’d just let us lose in peace,� said Radosh when we got out. “Oh, good grief,� I said. They looked where I was pointing. A big piece of brown paper had been put on the wall. In crude letters was written: Support a Team in Big Trouble! Special Seventh-Grade Soccer Team! S.O.R. vs. Pennington Prep 1:30 If we care, they will! We all had the same reaction. A quick check to see who might be looking, and rip, down it came. Plus the seven others we found around the school. When we got back to class, I asked Ms. Appleton about those posters. “A class project,� she said sweetly. “We’re going all out to support you.� “Why?� I said, feeling sick. “S.O.R. has no losers,� she said firmly. “Yeah,� I said, “I believed in Santa Claus too, once.� (To be continued.)

Halls Elementary fifthgrade math teacher Kim C a r t e r was one of three teachers named Teacher of the Year at Halls Elementary. Carter worked for Kim Carter four years at Dogwood Elementary before moving to Halls, where she has served for the last four years. She considers HES a good school with a good family atmosphere. She was a teacher many years ago and then a stayat-home mom for almost 10 years. She continued to volunteer at the school while working as a personal trainer before returning to the classroom. She enjoys teaching math and hopes that she can change kids’ perspectives on the subject, showing them that it can be fun and

engaging. She uses a lot of hands on activities and constant movement in a gamelike setting. “I love solving problems and I teach the students to not give up when problems arise.� As a young girl, Carter didn’t like math and then one day it clicked. She considers herself a cheerleader for her students. Her aunt Marilyn was her inspiration for becoming a teacher. Carter enjoyed seeing her aunt go through the thinking/ problem-solving process and wanted to help instill the desire to learn in others. When she isn’t solving math problems, Carter enjoys reading, running and taking an occasional nap.

State parks add summer SIRs Fifty-five individuals have been named seasonal interpretive recreators for summer at state parks. They will provide guided tours, hikes, slide shows, demonstrations, campfires and other activities for camp visitors. Locally, the SIRs are: ■ Seven Islands State Birding Park – Mark Armstrong ■ Norris Dam State Park – Josh Powell and Brittany Perryman ■ Big Ridge State Park – Jordan Cross Most of the summer staff are college students studying natural resource, recreation, history, or biologyrelated fields. Tennessee State Parks offers a one-week intense training in interpretive techniques.

Based upon Freeman Tilden’s Principles of Interpretation, participants learn to develop thematic programs on the primary and secondary park themes. SIRs also work closely with the park rangers to assure that park facilities, buildings, grounds and equipment are safe and secure. As most full-time state park rangers start out as SIRs, this program provides a great starting point for a state parks career. Tennessee’s 56 state parks offer diverse natural, recreational and cultural experiences for individuals, families or business and professional groups. State park features range from pristine natural areas to 18-hole championship golf courses. Info: tnstate parks.com

Army National Guard comes to Halls By Ruth White Tennessee Army National Guard has opened a recruiting office in front of Halls High School, staffed by four guard members. The team helps each individual interested in signing up to identify and meet needs. “The main benefit is to serve their country,� said SFC Fred Mize. In addition to service, those who sign up for the National Guard receive pay and college benefits. The center is located at 7413 Maynardville Highway in Will’s Village and serves the Halls, Fountain City and Powell areas. Individuals 17-35 years old (high school juniors and seniors on track for graduation) are eligible to enlist

In 1965, 65, K Keith eith h Miller authored a book called called, “A Taste of New Wine,� which I purchased in hardback for $3.50. I read it and was so impressed by his wisdom I loaned the book to many of my friends. The dust cover is dirty and worn.

Bonnie Peters

By 1968, the book was in its 12th printing. It was endorsed by many wellknown people of faith. Billy Graham’s comments were, “Keith Miller has written a wonderful book. In it he tells of the exhilarating and wonderful experiences of knowing Christ in depth.� In a surprisingly short period of time, there is now new wine among us. When the perils of tobacco use was finally accepted by most, we feared the economic loss by the farmers then grow-

ing tobacco. I grew up on a farm, and it was a priority to get the tobacco handed off and to market in time to get those new shoes or whatever for Christmas. I’ve carefully observed the transformation of the hillside along the Jack Woods Hollow in Union County where a legal distillery once operated. Much research and expertise has gone into the building and operation of The Winery at Seven Springs Farm. I’m impressed with those shiny new stainless steel containers and the education and skill of its winemaker, Nicky Riddle. The parents, James “Rick� and Donna Riddle, are striving to see that the winery and farm are successful. Rick is a veterinarian and has an agricultural and military background. It is said that “we play with the hand we are dealt.� It looks like East Tennessee and Union County in particular may have been dealt a better hand than we had thought. The market will choose the wines people

drink – will it be Napa Valley of California or wines from the Great Valley Wine Trail of East Tennessee? The economic gain to our region and to our county will no doubt enrich the lives of our people. It may just put Union County on the “Big Map.� You will remember that before food processing and canning came along, there was no preserved grape juice, even for religious sacraments. In Jesus’ time wine was the accepted symbolic observance of the Lord’s Supper – “For this is my blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins.� (King James Bible)

The blood of Christ is signified and represented by the wine. There are many interesting scriptures about wine, and 1 Timothy 5:23 is sometimes invoked by our modern doctors when patients are having difficulties – “No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake. ‌â€? “There are now more than 25 wineries in East Tennessee, and five of those are on the Great Valley Wine Trail founded by the Riddles. These wineries are gaining momentum. When you are checking out the wines made at Seven Springs Farm, be sure to check out the art work on the labels by

The parallels are eerie. Heather McFall and Cara Vaughn started college wanting to be attorneys, but both decided on teaching. Both place loving relationships with their students first and foremost. And on the same McFall Vaughn day, both were honored by the Rotary Club of Knoxville as its 2016 Teachers of the Year. Heather is a kindergarten teacher at West Haven Elementary School. Cara teaches biology and chemistry (including honors classes in both) at Bearden High School. Heather has been in the classroom for 15 years, Cara for nine years. Here’s another parallel: Each received a $500 check from Knoxville Rotary and a $250 gift certificate from A&W Office Supply at the club’s May 24 meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. “Our reward is our students’ success,â€? Heather said in her acceptance speech. “You have to be called to teaching and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Teaching for me is all about bringing love and compassion to the kids, every day.â€? Cara’s grandmother was a kindergarten teacher for 27 years who taught her to let her students know they are loved. “I come into every class every day to give them love. They need love and they need to be challenged,â€? she said. “It’s about relationships and that’s why I teach.â€? â–

Off to South Africa

Five members of Webb School’s Interact Club and Club Adviser Liz Gregor and Rotarian Rob Johnson of the Rotary Club of Knoxville left yesterday (May 31) for Cape Town, South Africa. “This will be the third Webb Interact trip to South Africa. We will partner with the Rotary Club of Stanford (one hour outside of Cape Town) and will volunteer in schools, an orphanage, soup kitchens, a swap shop and a baby stork project,� Gregor said. The students will visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner for 27 years. Knoxville Rotary sponsors the Webb Interact Club.

‘Progress’ in Powell (and Halls and beyond) Progress is grinding along day by day in our communities. At times progress can make for a fascinating spectator activity. So much so that downtown, they put little windows in the walls around big construction sites, so the “sidewalk superintendents” can follow the progress and come up with all sorts of ideas as to how things would be done if they were in charge. Out here in the country we can just drive by and see the action from our cars. One project that I see every week or so, and that startles me every time I see it, is our new landmark HPUD 5-million-gallon sewer retention tank on Dry Gap Pike, flanking the entrance to Brickey-McCloud Elementary School. That’s the same school, you will recall, that was to have been the recipient of a really nice outdoor classroom until, in the Debacle of 2010, HPUD’s contractor summarily destroyed the lovely grove of woodland just to the east of the present mega-tank. I wonder if HPUD got the idea for their colossus from the huge blue water tank that KUB perpetrated on the city of Knoxville, perched proudly on the city’s southern skyline amidst the developing parks and trails of its Urban Wilderness. There are a couple more projects that I’m following daily. The huge Kroger store is going up at the former Powell airport, which in earlier years showed up on the map as “Powell Marsh” and was visited by birders to see its ducks and herons and other wildlife. More recently it was used as a large hayfield, complete with nesting meadowlarks and visited by night-herons and snipe foraging in the ditches. It was

Dr. Bob Collier

always a pleasant sight to drive by and see all those big bales of newly-harvested hay scattered across the landscape, like a Monet painting. Other businesses are said to be poised to join the Kroger store there and complete the transformation to suburbia. The Central Avenue-Emory Road intersection should become very interesting at that point. I notice that already the poles and wires for yet another stoplight have gone up at the Kroger entrance; good luck to you folks living up Blueberry. And speaking of the Central-Emory Road intersection, the other project that I watch daily is that of the 220-apartment complex going up a half-block to the west. The apartments are on the former site of two nice homes with yards and trees, plus another small hayfield, now gone forever. Our 220 new family units will enter and exit their quarters via a single outlet onto Emory Road, into the long line of eastbound travelers who line up there every morning, every afternoon, and every Sunday after church. Maybe the church crowd, at least, will be polite. I won’t comment on the famous “multi-milliondollar left turn” project in the midst of the Halls community, where the Norris Freeway meets Highway 33, because in spite of those helpful signs that say “change in traffic pattern” (no kidding), I can’t begin to

Aßßų J AúßA A ¥yų

figure out what they’re doing out there all these years. Parts of it look more like a rock quarry than a highway. But, they undoubtedly know what they’re doing. More entertaining to watch is the Maynardville Highway project out through Halls to the Union County line. They’re removing mountains, filling chasms, running new power lines, and beautifying with huge brown mats that miraculously turn into lush green hillsides. Mind you, I have no objections to highway improvements, having been victim to any number of my fellow Americans travelling Highway 33, doggedly determined to not allow their vehicle to exceed 35 miles an hour in the 55 zone. Highway construction does take its toll, though. When TDOT widened Emory Road from two lanes to five lanes with sidewalks, beginning around 2001, for the 1,117 feet of highway along my property they took 0.97acre of land. That figures out to be about five acres of land for a onemile stretch of straight, level highway with very little roadside right-of-way. Imagine how many acres it’s taking for the Highway 33 project, with all its slopes and fills. All is not lost, though, as it is when you fill in a marsh to build a shopping center, or a hayfield becomes home to 220 families. According to an article in the latest issue of National Wildlife Magazine, there are at least 17 million acres of roadsides in the United States – an area larger than Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts combined! And across the country, smart people are beginning to rethink roadsides.

Take the costs of maintenance, for example. Roadsides need to be mowed, and many are sprayed with herbicides. Expensive. But also very bad for a lot of our natural things – plants, wildflowers, birds, butterflies. The National Wildlife article relates that a number of state departments of transportation are changing right-of-way management practices in favor of wildlife. And they are saving money, beautifying the roadside scenery, and guess what – helping lots of critters. Some of the pragmatic, life-is-a-real-thing western states have realized for years how much hay they were bush-hogging along their highways, and have a system to allow farmers to cut and bale the hundreds of acres of roadsides, medians and interchanges in their states. What a win-win situation! State DOT doesn’t mow, farmers get loads of hay. Seems almost too reasonable to be true. The article notes that these days, a number of state DOTs are getting into the act, and mentions Iowa, Indiana, Florida, and Nebraska as examples. Florida’s DOT is responsible for 186,000 acres of roadsides. They are reducing their mowing by 10 percent, mowing just five feet up the roadside slopes, leaving the remaining 10 to 30 feet to grow in native grasses and wild flowers. This allows the ground-nesting species of birds the whole nesting season to raise their young, and us and the butterflies to enjoy the flowers. Then in late fall the DOT mows it all, to keep down the bushes and general undergrowth. Iowa has 50,000 acres of roadsides planted in native flowers; Lady Bird Johnson has had Texas doing it for years.

~è ² ç ²ŹŹŹ

űűűͤ±¶ŲŰ ¥¥yßyA¥ïųÍ^¶«

But a reminder – you don’t need 17 million acres to have a habitat highly suitable for birds and butterflies. Every half-acre or twoacre yard can have trees and shrubs that provide nesting sites and safety from predators, produce fruits, berries and seeds for food, and serve as food plants that attract food items for baby birds – bugs, caterpillars, earthworms and the like. And the inchworms and caterpillars that don’t get eaten? They become all those butterflies and moths, that along with the spiders,

bees and beetles, make our gardens such fun and interesting places. So at least one message can be: don’t despair about all that inevitable development. Those 220 apartments on a 12-acre space could have been 220 houses on one-acre lots, gobbling up another 200-acre farm somewhere. And we can all use our yards, our parks and our roadsides in better and more beneficial ways. They all offer opportunities to give our fellow critters a better world. We’re all in this together, you know.

Chilhowee ‘grads’ come home

Martha and Jim Coppock enjoy fellowship with Jim’s classmates at the Chilhowee Elementary School reunion at Holston Hills Country Club. By Shannon Carey When the time came to plan Jim Coppock’s 80th birthday, he told his family he didn’t want a party. He just wanted a get-together with all his old friends who finished eighth grade at Chilhowee Elementary School in 1950. “Some of us started first grade together,� Coppock said. “We grew up in the ’40s and ’50s in Holston Hills and Chilhowee Hills. So many of us were in Boy Scouts together. Some of us haven’t seen each other in 30 or 40 years.� Family members helped plan the reunion for May 22 at Holston Hills Country Club, and Coppock and his friend Conrad Majors started tracking people down. They did it through old-fashioned detective work, contacting old friends, asking them for more contacts, and so on. “These are good friends from the old days,� said Dick Pulliam, who traveled from Memphis with his wife, Carol. “They are long,

Other attendees include Knoxville opthamologist Kenneth Rawlston, Kingsport pediatrician Kent Blazier, and Jimmy Lockwood of the Crosseyed Cricket resort. And the name on everyone’s lips, the thread that ties them all together, is Coppock’s father, Jimmy Coppock, who served as scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts in the group. “He kept us young boys in line,� said John Watts. “Due to his urging, many of us became Eagle Scouts.� In fact, about 20 boys from this age group became Eagle Scouts under Mr. Cop-

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Feeling the ’Burn?

Man’s first case of ‘heartburn’ was actually heart attack It was that last bite of pizza. Or so Michael Smith thought. He figured his usual Friday night pizza delivery included his first-ever case of heartburn. “It was just a burning sensation right there,” he said, pointing to just below his sternum. But what the seemingly healthy 65-year-old Sevierville man didn’t know is that he wasn’t having heartburn – he was having a heart attack. “He’d never had indigestion before so he didn’t recognize it,” said Smith’s partner, Yvonne Osborn, who spent the next three hours trying to persuade him to go to the Emergency Department at LeConte Medical Center. “I asked him, ‘What does it feel like?’ He said, ‘I don’t know how to explain it, but it just hurts right here.’ And I said, ‘Mike, that sounds like your heart.’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘I don’t think it would be that.’ That was at 7:30, then I looked over and he was sound asleep in the chair, and I thought, ‘Well, it can’t hurt that bad if he’s sound asleep.’ But we had worked all day, he was tired.” At 9:45 p.m., Smith awakened just in time to see the winner of the American Idol finale on television. At 10, Yvonne asked if the pain was still there. When he replied that it was, Osborn said she remained calm on the outside, but on the inside, was “screaming, ‘Let’s go!’” Finally, she told him, “This is crazy to not go because if you don’t go now, I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and you’re clutching your chest having a heart attack, it’s going to take me some time to get my contacts in so I can drive you and that’s not going to be good because I’m going to be in a bad mood. So, maybe we should just go over there and see what they have to say. It’s not far from our house. If

Michael Smith is back to “flipping” his home thanks to the cutting edge treatment he received at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

they say you have indigestion, hooray! But let’s just go see. It won’t hurt.’ He finally said, ‘OK, let’s go’ but grudgingly.” They arrived at LeConte Medical Center’s Emergency Department about 10:30, walked to the counter and told the receptionist that Smith was “either having a heart attack or has indigestion.” “I don’t think it was 30 seconds before they took me to triage and

did some bloodwork and put me on an EKG and another 30 seconds or minute later, they said, ‘Get a bed! We need a room,’” said Smith. “They hooked me up with all kinds of other stuff, and said ‘You’re having a heart attack.’” “People came from everywhere,” said Osborn. “There must’ve been 15 people around. Some were putting IVs in each arm, some were putting those heart leads on, another one

was on the phone trying to get a helicopter to transport him to Fort Sanders Regional, but it was too windy – thank goodness! It was like in slow motion – I was watching all these people like they were choreographed in a play. It was incredible to me. Then the doctor (Dr. Dennis Mays, a LeConte emergency medicine doctor) came in and he was, of course, listening to the heart. Everybody was doing a different thing. “They started asking me questions about how I felt,” Smith added. “I said, ‘I feel fine. I don’t feel dizzy. I don’t feel weak. I don’t have any pains. I just have a little pain right here and it’s not bad. And she said, ‘On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is it?’ I said, ‘Not bad, maybe a .5.’ She said, ‘Five?’ I said, ‘No, point 5.’ I could barely feel it.” By 11:30 p.m., Smith was in the back of an ambulance, chatting with the emergency medical technicians as they raced to Fort Sanders Regional’s Emergency Department. Along the way, the EMTs were feeding information to FSRMC. Upon arrival at Fort Sanders, he was wheeled directly to the cath lab where he was met by interventional cardiologist, Dr. Joshua Todd who had found Smith’s right coronary to be 100 percent blocked, requiring a stent. “He was showing me my heart Dr. Joshua Todd on the monitor and how the blockage was like a big stop sign right at the end of the vein – no blood passes through here anymore,” said Smith. “Then they put the stent in, and – Boom! – you could see the artery open up and go right down to the heart. My heart

is just down there beating away. It was just incredible! You’re awake the whole time and you don’t feel a thing. I was amazed that I didn’t feel any anxiety at all when they said, ‘You’re having a heart attack. I thought I was going to be scared or nervous.” “I think part of that was the way that everybody handled it,” said Osborn, who says Smith’s heart catheterization and stent was finished and he was in recovery when she arrived at FSRMC at 12:10 a.m. “They were so calm, so forthcoming with information. They told me everything that was going on and that really reduced my anxiety because I’ve never been through this before. They were so kind about giving me every single detail, about what was going to happen, where it was going to happen, and I think that was very important. They all deserve credit for the way they handled everything so professionally. And not just professionally, (but) the kindness they exhibited was really important.” A day and a half later, Smith was discharged from FSRMC with instructions not to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for seven days. After the seventh day, he didn’t rest. Instead, he returned to the task he was working on before his heart attack – building a three-bedroom, two-bath home which he and Osborn will “flip” in two years, something the couple has been doing for 17 years as they traveled throughout the United States. For now, however, Smith’s heart has found a home in Sevierville where Osborn plans to keep a close watch on his heart. “If you have a pain, don’t be embarrassed, don’t feel badly – just go!” she said. “If they tell you that you’ve got indigestion, great! But it might not be.”

Heart attacks often mistaken for indigestion Heartburn or heart attack? Michael Smith couldn’t tell the difference. Could you? Decide quickly because, depending on what type of heart attack you have, your best chance for survival is getting to the hospital within the first three hours of your symptoms. “Indigestion can be a common symptom,” said Dr. Josh Todd, the interventional cardiologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center who placed a stent in Smith’s right coronary artery. “Patients tend to ignore the initial symptoms of a heart attack, and may attempt other alternative strategies to help alleviate pain such as antacids or pain medications including aspirin. When the symptoms aren’t relieved - that’s when EMS is usually called.” In fact, a recent survey of 500 heart attack survivors found that eight out of ten failed to realize that they were having a heart attack. One third of those mistook their symptoms for indigestion. The study

also found that half of heart attack sufferers do not seek help for more than an hour because they think they have indigestion or other minor conditions. “It can be hard even for physicians to interpret these symptoms” said Dr. Todd. “Based on a patient’s symptoms and their risk factor profile, the chance that indigestion-like signs are indicators of a blood flow problem with the heart can range from 20 to 90 percent.” “The emergency department is the best place to determine the patient’s risk by rapidly obtaining an EKG within 10 minutes of the patient’s arrival. This test will conclude to which type of heart attack a patient is experiencing – STEMI (ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) or Non-STEMI,” he added. The diagnosis of a STEMI heart attack is made by a combination of symptom indicators and an EKG tracing that shows elevated “ST” segments, indicating an artery is totally blocked. “There are large amounts of data show-

ing that if you have that type heart attack, sooner is better for interventional action because the artery is 100 percent blocked,” said Dr. Todd. “If the EKG does not demonstrate this finding, a medical evaluation is performed which involves obtaining laboratory testing over the next several hours to see if heart cell death has occurred. The first EKG is how we determine who is emergently transported to the Cath Lab.” The best time for treatment is within the first three hours of the onset of symptoms. After 12 hours of continued symptoms, there is little benefit to procedures offered in the Cath Lab. Individuals at risk for a heart attack should be well informed of these facts. If you can recognize the symptoms of heart attack early and get to the hospital, you can receive the most effective treatment. Outlying hospitals without the ability to perform emergent interventions like LeConte Medical Center have established “STEMI” teams that spring into action the

moment a heart patient first enters their emergency department. “If a person presents with symptoms that may by caused by a heart attack, they receive and EKG rapidly, and if the patient meets criteria, the STEMI team is activated,” said Dr. Todd. “After the STEMI team is activated, a request is sent to an EMS emergency transport provider. LeConte then notifies the Cath Lab team at Fort Sanders Regional so that the team is ready to go before the patient arrives.” Michael Smith learned that it’s not how much you hurt, but why you are hurting. “Pain intensity is not as important as the EKG findings,” said Dr. Todd. “Mistaking a heart attack for heartburn is not uncommon. Reflux disease can present the same way. For every one patient who is having a heart attack, there are probably 10 with the same symptoms who aren’t. If you are having symptoms that may represent a heart attack, prompt presentation to qualified medical personnel who can perform and interpret an ECG may be life- saving.”
