Flag retirement

By Ruth White Whit Wh ite Members of the Corryton Senior Center and Rural/Metro Station 33 honored veterans with a flag retirement ceremony last week.

Boy Scout Troop 500, led by Scout Master John Wech, retired worn and torn American flags with respect and dignity. “The purpose of the event is to celebrate our freedom and honor those who fought for that privilege,” said Rural/Metro Fire Chief Jerry Underwood Harnish.

Members of Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 honored prisons of war and those missing in action with a Missing Man table ceremony.

Members include Jim Avera, Mike Fain, Betty Garibay, John Smith and Freddie Smith. The table honored all missing comrades in arms and represented all Americans still missing from all branches of the military.

Ersel Underwood, a veteran of

WWII, attended the ceremony at Corryton Senior Center. Underwood was in the Navy and fought the last battle of Okinawa when he was just barely 18 years old.

Fountain City prospects bright

By Sandra Clark Deputy Mayor Bill Lyons was in Fountain City last week, speaking to the Business and Professional Association. “It was a large crowd and we had a nice discussion,” he said afterwards.

“Bob Whetsel Bill Lyons (the city’s redevelopment director) and I both spoke. I presented the vision of redevelopment and the principles we use.

Bob spoke of specific projects as we implement the vision.”

Lyons said the city has four areas of redevelopment: north, south,

east and west. Each is unique.

Downtown North includes North Gay Street, Broadway and Central Street, extending to Woodland Avenue. “Happy Hollow is coming back,” said Lyons. The plan includes both residential and commercial development with cost sharing for façade improvements for businesses.

South Waterfront gets a lot of media attention, particularly with the recent announcement that Atlanta-based developers are negotiating for the former Baptist Hospital property. Public improvements will include a continuous pedestrian/bicycle riverwalk along the shoreline, parks and green spaces, new and reconstructed streets,

a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge connecting the South Waterfront to the UT campus, sidewalks, bike lanes and parking.

The Magnolia Corridor was sparked by completion of the SmartFix road improvements which opened Magnolia Avenue.

The Cumberland Avenue Corridor extends to the new Publix and Walmart development underway on the site of the old Fulton Bellows factory. A goal is to make Cumberland Avenue more pedestrian friendly.

As a result of redevelopment downtown and now in the close-in areas, Lyons said the city is growing its tax base. “That creates economic activity from the inside out

rather than a focus on expanding our boundaries.”

The BPA met at Virginia College, a redevelopment of an old Kroger store in the heart of Fountain City.

Lyons said afterwards that Fountain City and Bearden are examples of neighborhoods where strong residential areas support nearby businesses. He said both areas have been spared the “brownfield” issues of other, older neighborhoods.

During introductions, the owner of the new Chick-fil-A in Fountain City stood and received applause.

“It wasn’t a standing ovation, but everybody clapped. I thought that was interesting,” said Lyons.

Sheriff’s race starts early and mean

By Betty Bean On June 6, 2012, a dozen deputies showed up at Don Wiser’s DUI school to take him to jail.

On June 6, 2013, Wiser sent a letter to the county mayor, the law director and every member of county commission announcing his candidacy for sheriff and accusing incumbent Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones of abusing the department’s drive-home vehicle policy by keeping four cars, including a $70,000 Jack Roush R3 Mustang, for his personal use. He also accused Jones of allowing employees who live in surrounding counties to drive Knox County vehicles home overnight.

“That was D-Day, Honey. And I’m declaring war,” Wiser said.

Jones denied Wiser’s accusations and called the retired Knoxville Police Department investigator a liar.

“In looking at the letter Wiser

wrote, the only truthful statement I found was that I do have a marked vehicle at my house because often I ride patrol,” Jones said. “Everything else as far as I know is untrue.

And since he stated he is a candidate for sheriff, it is my personal opinion that he is misinformed and as a former law enforcement officer is a disgrace to any man or woman who has ever worn a badge.”

KCSO public information officer Martha Dooley released a list of the department’s fleet, which did not include any of the vehicles Wiser mentioned.

The county finance office was unable to shed much light on the situation since the fleet list does not report vehicles purchased with drug fund money or seized from drug dealers. When asked if KCSO has a high end Mustang classified as a drug enforcement vehicle, Dooley refused to comment.

“I can’t tell you anything be-

cause we get into safety and security issues,” she said. “Some vehicles are part of drug enforcement and are confidential, with no taxpayer money involved.”

This is an argument that goes back to the days when then-County Commissioner Wanda Moody filed a raft of lawsuits against then-Sheriff Tim Hutchison in an attempt to force him to be accountable to county commission for large expenditures. She won on 18 of the 19 points she made, and Hutchison was convicted of criminal contempt for withholding information.

Moody’s lawyer, Herb Moncier, says he knows nothing about the current sheriff’s policies, but takes a dim view of the historic “veil of secrecy” surrounding drug fund money.

“There’s no secret down there as to who has what car. The problem used to be, they didn’t want

anybody to know what they are doing, because they have more cars than anybody in the world.

They’ve got to have insurance on those cars, and all of that’s public information. There may be some limited circumstances as to why a particular person might not want to be identified as driving a particular car, but that’s so limited.”

Wiser, who is a state-certified driver’s safety and drug awareness instructor whose students are offenders referred by the court system, shut down his business after being charged with falsely certifying that a student had completed 16 hours of court-ordered safe driving classes. In June, he was charged with tampering with and fabricating evidence, a Class C felony.

The case is currently mired in motions, and Wiser says he will work full time on campaigning for sheriff.

Duck Pond Antiques Bubba and Scrapper’s playhouse

Usually when I approach writing a story, I find something or someone who piques my interest, which isn’t difficult. I’ve always been naturally curious about just about everything (except politics).

Libby Morgan Then of course I find out about said subject and write about it.

But sometimes stories write themselves, and sometimes people write their own stories – and sometimes when they do, they’re better stories than I could write.

This is one of those.

I chalk it up to the creative mind of one Barry Fernandez, a.k.a. “Bubba,” whom many surely can’t forget if they ever were in one of his classes at Halls or Oak Ridge high schools. He taught at Halls in the ‘60s and the ‘00s, and was at Oak Ridge between, teaching math and computer science, mostly.

Well before his second stint at Halls, he left Oak Ridge High School and had several jobs in what he calls his “mercenary years.” He worked on special projects for the government, was hired by former students he says were geniuses at the computer screen but unable to communicate with real people, and he was the IT director at both Walters State and Pellissippi.

He credits his wife, Dr. Donna Cragle, an epidemiologist doing cancer research studies, with enabling him to reach out and take jobs with risk. He says he supported her during her education years, and the two have been able to trade off times of making money and the leaner times of being creative.

Their daughters, Danielle and Katie, have made their way through higher education, too – both have master’s degrees (or almost).

His reflections on the difference in teaching at Halls on both ends of a 40-year span are hilarious and sad

at the same time.

“In the ‘60s, a lot of students who weren’t interested in school simply dropped out, leaving a group who wanted to learn in the classrooms. Kids in the 2000s weren’t allowed to drop out, so we had to deal with not only a whole lot more regulation from the system, but kids who just didn’t want to be there,” Fernandez says.

“Plus I was old. It’s easier to teach a cat to use a toilet than to gain respect from a high school student nowadays, especially if you’re old.

“I learned you just can’t go home. Not after that long.”

I asked Fernandez if he wanted to email me some comments about his new business, Duck Pond Antiques and Woodworking, a small shop sandwiched between – you guessed it – Fountain City Lake and First Tennesse Bank.

Here’s what he sent: Barry “Bubba” Fernandez first met Lowell “Scrapper” McDonald about two years ago as Scrapper was remodeling his second home on Gibbs Drive in Fountain City. Barry is retired from education and

BIG SAVINGS

Scrapper is retired from building custom homes in and around Knoxville.

Soon Scrapper was finishing several jobs that Barry had left undone at his home and Barry was helping Scrapper with some of his remodeling. After several conversations, Barry talked Scrapper into opening an antique and woodworking shop while Scrapper talked Barry into playing golf every Monday.

Barry gave in but was worried that he wouldn’t be any competition for Scrapper who is a low handicap golfer. Barry hadn’t swung a golf club for 25 years since playing six days a week, but so far it seems to be working.

The shop has been open about three months and has many repurposed items made from saved lumber from Scrapper’s remodels and Barry’s concepts – like chairs made from skis, kitchen islands made from oak truck beds, furniture made from baseball bats, etc.

There are antique sports equipment, antique games and children’s toys. There are several 1940s and 1950s tables, McCoy cookie jars, vintage tools and car accessories. There are several BB guns and air guns dating back to the 1950s.

The woodshop is getting a steady flow of furniture repairs and builds from scratch. This is where Scrapper shines. His workmanship is outstanding and what you would expect from the master carpenter that he is.

Barry helps by handing him the tools he needs and sanding the projects as they finish. It is a successful partnership … so far.

Now if Barry can only match him on the golf course every Monday.

Fernandez says, “I got

Welch settles in to sheep farming

By Libby Morgan

Instant response to orders is critical to military police actions, as Chuck Welch well knows. He was a member of the Tennessee Military Police until budget cuts wiped out his position in 2010.

Now he’s raising sheep.

They don’t take orders.

(Well, maybe they will from Welch’s young shepherd dog after it learns how to herd, but that’s a ways out.)

Lifestyle changes from the military to the civilian world can be uncomfortable for some, but Welch has happily settled in to life on the farm.

Bees were his first fascination, but he decided that since even the scientists are struggling to keep them healthy, it is too much of a challenge.

“I had to throw in the towel on the bees,” he says.

He had an opportunity to buy a flock of Katahdin Hair sheep earlier this year, and he went for it. Katahdin don’t require shearing.

“Katahdin’s wool isn’t marketable as far as I know, and they simply shed their hair each spring. Some haven’t completely lost their

coat yet, but they will soon.” says Welch. “They look like a motley bunch right now.

“I plan to market the sheep for breeding and meat. This flock was already bred when I got them, and sheep normally have twins. Thirty-two ewes (delivered) 61 lambs this spring. And they grow really quickly.”

Welch has begun to learn about an old grazing theory that has come to the forefront lately, a method that requires moving the livestock from pasture to pasture every few days, depending on the animal, the plants and the life cycles of parasites, among other things.

He’s been educating himself on intensive, high density and rotational grazing by attending summits and conferences. He has also become a Master Beef Producer through the ag extension program.

Right now he has only sheep on his pastures, but later may mix in cattle.

There are ways to combine different grazing animals, following one with the other, to affect the health of the pasture, he says.

chemical treatments.

“I’m learning a lot, and since I’m new to all this, I’m open to new ideas. Every day I learn something.

The animals themselves can teach you a lot if you pay close attention, and I’m willing to learn.”

Challenges in the system are having enough fencing and cross fencing to keep the animals where Welch wants them, while providing them with water and shade in each area.

“I’m using a combination of polywire fencing and electric netting that’s powered by solar. It’s very por-

table,” Welch says.

“One of the goals is to have viable pastureland that will sustain the flock without buying hay. We’ll see when winter comes whether I will have to buy hay. The good thing is we have excellent hay around here, and lots of it, especially this year.”

He is interested in building parasite-resistant sheep through selection and genetics. People from the summits he has attended – farmers, ranchers and agricultural scientists – are pooling their findings to further the success in raising livestock without expensive and ever-less-effective

government Audio/video necessary in police cars The unfortunate news that three Knoxville city police officers had pleaded guilty on June 10 to state charges of beating and kicking a handcuffed, mentally ill person might never have happened without the installation of audio and video equipment in police cars which provides complete, irrefutable evidence to what happened when charges of excessive force or brutality occur.

Victor Ashe

This equipment was installed on my watch as mayor after a series of events in which three African Americans died separately in police custody in just over a year. The most publicized was the Andre Stinson case.

Many of the accusations which arose during these tragic events boiled down to a case of “he said, you said” between two persons with no reliable way to determine the facts. However, once there was a film and tape of what happened, then one could not deny what was on tape or film.

In the vast majority of cases, the police officers behaved appropriately and the film/tape upheld their actions. In this case, what happened was shameful, excessive and brutal. The tape/film spoke clearly as to what happened. There was no doubt.

Police Chief David Rausch punished all of those involved, including superiors who failed to review the video as well as others who lied in reports or failed to review all of the available in-cruiser video before approving the officers’ actions.

Lt. Brad Anders, who received a written reprimand, is also a Knox County commissioner. A year ago he came within one vote of being elected chair of the County Commission. How this may impact his future political endeavors is unclear, but it is a negative.

The video/audio equipment comes with a cost to taxpayers. When first purchased in 1998 it was a VHS system which cost in the $1 million range. In 2003, this system was replaced with Mobile Vision VHS system with a comparable cost.

Four years later, in 2007,

the system was replaced with a Digital System at a cost of $1.6 million. Annual maintenance runs around $60,000 according to Chief Rausch.

Rausch stated, “It is a very important and worthwhile expenditure. The majority of the time, the video protects the officer to show that they are doing their jobs correctly and professionally under some very extremely difficult situations.”

It might also be stated that this gives the Department credibility in that complaints will be handled seriously and acted on when inexcusable conduct occurs as it did here. What Judge Steve Sword will do in terms of sentencing on Aug. 8 is unknown.

However, Chief Rausch did what he could to correct a clear wrong by those sworn to uphold the law.

■ On a different legal front, TVA has thrown in the towel on its twoyear-old dress code for those attending TVA public hearings by rescinding this policy. However, plaintiffs like attorney Chris Irwin, who wore facial paint and was barred from a TVA hearing, insist the federal court needs to bar TVA from issuing a new policy which may be similar to the old policy. TVA needs all the friends it can secure as the Obama Administration suggests major changes including possible sale.

This dress code issue is still in federal court and a final decision has not been made. It is hard to explain why TVA ever embarked on such an infringement of free speech.

■ Special Justice Morris Kizer, former Knoxville city law director, will be one of five persons to hear the John Hooker lawsuit attacking the current selection procedure for state Supreme Court justices. It is set for July 19 at 1 p.m. CST in Nashville in the Supreme Court chambers. Kizer was appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam.

Messing with the school board Something about the school board not being subject to term limits is an itch other local politicians can’t stop trying to scratch.

“Why should they be above any other elected official in the county?” asked Commissioner Mike Brown, one of the most persistent advocates of term limits for school board members.

In April, County Commission approved a resolution directing state Rep. Ryan Haynes (as chair of the legislative delegation) to ask the Legislature’s lawyers to figure out how term limits could be imposed on the school board. Last week Haynes reported back with the answer – and it wasn’t the one the commissioners hoped to hear.

“If we wanted to enact term limits, we’d have to change the general law,” Haynes said. “And that’s not going to pass the General Assembly. If you want to im-

Betty Bean plement it in Knox County, you have to have a rational basis as to why Knox County should be singled out as the only county that can do this.”

But the commissioners probably already knew this, because it was clearly spelled out in Jordan v.

Knox County – the lawsuit filed in 2007 by six county commissioners who wanted to overturn a state Supreme Court ruling that the 1994 term limits referendum was valid.

They succeeded locally, which allowed most of them to run for re-election that August. But they got shot down by the Court of Appeals, leading most people to believe that the argument

was over. Since then, many have taken exception to the school board’s non-termlimited status.

The document Haynes brought back cites the Jordan decision, which ruled that “general law of the state pre-empts the imposition of term limits for any school board member.”

His Nashville lawyers kept hope alive with a couple of longshot possibilities: drawing up a term limits bill that applies only to school boards in counties with charter governments (Knox and Shelby), or devising a bill of local application for Knox County only. But the Nashville lawyers snatched those slim hopes away in the next paragraph: “The Legislature shall have no power to suspend any general law for the benefit of any particular individual, nor to pass any law for the benefit of individuals inconsistent with the gen-

eral laws of the land.”

Haynes sounded like he’s ready to leave this issue alone.

“The Jordan decision said Knox County couldn’t bind the school board or the judiciary (with term limits).

I’m happy to help, but their legal department could have told them the same thing I told them.”

But that doesn’t mean efforts to mess with the school board have ended.

Knox County Republican Party chair Ruthie Kuhlman, in a recent letter to GOP club presidents, listed five “core principles” to which GOP candidates should adhere: 1. Partisan school board races 2. Term limits for school board 3. County/city debt 4. Elected superintendent 5. Using local industries/ contractors.

Republicans plan picnics Knox County Republicans will gather at Fountain City Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, for the countywide GOP picnic, hosted this year by the Halls Republican Club.

The event will feature activities for children along with badminton, croquet, horseshoes and live entertainment. A call has gone out for those wishing to show off their talents onstage for the

large crowd expected to attend.

West Knox Republican Club has scheduled its big annual family picnic and cake auction for 6 p.m.

Remembering the Frontier House MALCOLM’S CORNER | Malcolm Shell One of the true iconic eateries of several decades ago was the Frontier House on Kingston Pike.

And for the locals, it was often used as a landmark to identify other Kingston Pike establishments. It was also known as the “Farragut Country Club” because most of the clientele knew each other and gathered there regularly to socialize. To that extent, it was very similar to an English Pub or German guest haus.

It was initially operated by John Lee McCarter who hired Marie Turner as manager. John purchased the building in 1959 from Barbara Osborne who, along with her mother and aunt, ran it as a tea house. When John took the plunge, he knew very little about the restaurant business, and I am sure he never envisioned the success he would have in that venture.

“In 1959, the entire area was very rural,” John recalls, “and it was so far out in the country our vendors wouldn’t even deliver supplies to us. We regularly had to go into Bearden or Knoxville to get our supplies. There were not many restaurants out this far, and the vendors didn’t feel it was worth coming out here to service such a small number.”

When John first opened the place, he had a fourmember band that played on Friday and Saturday nights in the back room.

We lived very near the es-

tablishment and on any given weekend night, we would often get a group of our neighbors together and enjoy an evening of dining and dancing to a great band. The band members were Charley Baker on saxophone and Jim Clayton on guitar. The other two members were Mel Hines and Ronnie Anderson, and I cannot remember which instruments they played.

After several years, John was ready to “enjoy life” again and decided to sell. At about that time, his brother, Charlie, returned from California and John offered him the opportunity to take over the reins.

“It was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up,” said Charlie. “And besides, I knew John would be there to offer advice if I needed him.”

The menu offered good Southern country cooking such as fried chicken and country ham, but the real winner was the “Charlie burger.” As a connoisseur of hamburgers, I can honestly say that it was a burger that had no equal – a large piece of prime ground beef smothered in fried onions with all the trimmings. The exhaust fan also played an important role because if you drove by with your car windows down and caught the aroma, you were sure to turn around and enjoy a “Charlie burger.”

Two of the many factors that contributed to Charlie’s success were a great

sense of humor and a genuine concern for people.

The children loved Charlie, and many of the kids that first came with their parents brought their children when they became parents.

On their closing night, a group of good friends gathered to bid Charlie and his wife, Faye, farewell. Faye remembers that some of the children cried.

Although the establishment sold beer, the McCarters maintained strict discipline and if someone got too loud they were asked to leave. John remembers one night he

threw a crew of people out who he knew to be truly bad people. John says he was sure they would come back after closing and vandalize the place. “I spent most of the night on the roof with a shotgun,” says John, “but they never came back.”

Charlie’s sense of humor caused him to tell about two regulars – Earl Hall and Jack Watson – who were having lunch there one day when an ambulance came by with its siren on. When they pulled the curtain back to see what was happening, there

was so much grease on the window that the sunlight shining through the glass caused a rainbow effect.

Earl turned to Jack and said, “I know why Charlie has to charge so much for the ‘Charlie burger,’ he has to pay for these stained -glass windows.”

The McCarters always supported the community events and organizations, particularly those that sponsored children’s activities. John recalls that he sponsored a little league baseball team called the Cardinals. But because they sold beer, the organiz-

ers would not allow him to use the Frontier House name on the uniform. John recalls that he just put his name on the uniform but that was just as good as using the Frontier House name. Everyone knew who John represented.

When Charlie sold the restaurant, the new owners assured him that everything would remain the same – menu, personnel, etc. – but they decided to do considerable modifications which apparently did not go over well with the clientele. And business dropped off almost immediately. I guess that is a good example of the old truism: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Today, the Concord/ Farragut community is blessed with an abundance of restaurants that offer a diversity of many ethnic cuisines, and I really enjoy the variety. But I still yearn for the ambience and friendliness of the Frontier House. And who knows, perhaps someday an establishment will come up with a burger that rivals the “Charlie burger,” but as yet, I have not found one.

By merging our SAM system and our extensive experience with the aging in place concept, seniors can enjoy a more comfortable experience in their home. Adult children and caregivers gain peace of mind through continued updates of their loved one’s activities, all for less than one month of assisted living.

Aging in place refers tto remaining i i where you live, as opposed to a health care environment, assisted living or nursing home.

Through the use of specially designed systems and services, you can remain in your home as your circumstances change.

You continue to live safely and independently as you get older.

What is the SAM system?

SAM stands for Senior Activity Monitor. It is a system that has the ability to constantly monitor various activities in almost any environment. Each activity can then be reported via email, text, or phone call to a loved one or other caregiver. A person’s activity, or lack thereof, is a direct indicator of their well being. Of course, no system is a replacement for actual care of another person, but the SAM system can provide peace of mind during day to day routines.

Each system is customized for your specific needs.

Call us today to set up a free consultation where we can review your concerns and design a SAM solution specifically for you!

Website to honor Chuck Rohe Against the backdrop of Tennessee’s three-fourths of one point and the exciting tie for 77th place in NCAA track and field, I offer this brief insight into how things used to be.

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

That was one of Napoleon Hill’s hallmark expressions. It applies to Chuck Rohe.

If you never heard of Hill, you can look him up – Pound, Va., author, journalist, attorney, philosopher.

If you don’t know about Rohe, you missed a magnificent chapter in Volunteer history.

Because I believe in miracles, I have sometimes wondered if Rohe was one.

Marvin West

He seemingly came out of nowhere, with boundless energy and maybe genius intellect, took over a Tennessee track team that was below zero, somehow assembled an array of champion athletes, drove them relentlessly and collected a cluster of trophies, medals and ribbons.

His Vols routed Southeastern Conference foes, trampled them so badly some schools were embar-

rassed. Programs were upgraded in self-defense.

Some, including Alabama, were forced to build a track.

Football funded it. Paul “Bear” Bryant resented that.

Because track coaches didn’t get paid much back then, Rohe added a second job, football recruiting coordinator for Doug Dickey.

Chuck is directly linked to Richmond Flowers and Chip Kell. His concept of dual-sport stars led to Karl Kremser, Willie Gault, Ron Widby and Condredge Holloway.

Chuck didn’t stay long at Tennessee, 1962-1971, but long enough to go 87-10 in dual meets and win an astonishing 21 consecutive SEC titles – indoor, outdoor and cross-country. Six

Heavy lifting “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

(John 12: 32-33 NRSV) Once the light dawned in my head I could no longer not see it!

The church I have been attending since my marriage is a small church, pastored by a young smart-as-a-whip preacher who (as nearly as I can tell) hits a home run every Sunday morning.

I tell you that to explain that it is because of his engrossing sermons that I had missed the import of the picture and its caption.

Above the altar, behind the pulpit, is a picture of Jesus. That is not unusual in churches. However, underneath this particular picture

is the verse I quoted above, in a slightly different translation: “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”

It is one of my favorite verses because it makes me believe that God’s love and grace are powerful enough, and big enough, and comprehensive enough, and forgiving enough to gather us all in. All. All of us. A lot of

and photos to share and musical instruments to play.

times his teams finished in the NCAA top 10. He was once national coach of the year. He served on the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He went on to more rewarding things, with Charley Coffey to Virginia Tech, into event promotion with Pace Management and on to Orlando to resurrect the Tangerine Bowl and lead it to fancy new names, great TV ratings and significant riches.

Rohe ventured into the World Football League as an owner and administrator but we won’t go there. That he was actually able to sell his franchise may have been another miracle.

In semi-retirement, he is executive vice president and national director of Nike Coach of the Year Clinics.

Each year they attract more than 10,000 football coaches to 20 sites across America.

President of that project is a

familiar name, John Majors.

Rohe’s former track and field Vols have been searching for a way to honor their coach and say thank you for leadership at a crucial time in their lives. They didn’t like some of it at the time but they cherish it and him now.

Remember: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

“In our pursuit to preserve the legacy and history of the Rohe era, we will build a website,” said former distance runner Coppley Vickers.

It will be a repository for old Vols to post formal expressions of appreciation, adventure stories, tall tales and maybe a few lies. Dr. Tom Scott of shot put fame will do the definitive audio/video history, Rohe reminiscing.

Former UT sports information director Bud Ford will create a records section with times, heights and distances

of distinction.

There will be a keepsake photo album, even the classic Bill Dyer cartoon of the Vols pushing the team bus when it ran out of gas.

Rohe’s motivational slogans will be treated as treasures.

One of my long-ago descriptions of the coach might get into an obscure corner: “Chuck Rohe was and is a poster person for the power of positive thinking. He loves life, doesn’t want to miss any and drags reluctant others along for the joy ride. Always up before the crack of dawn, he has stretched the truth as needed and greeted each morning with ‘What a day!’”

That might be good enough for the website. Maybe I’ll have a little talk with the planning committee. I know those guys.

people disagree with me on that point, and that is their privilege, but that is what I believe.

And, in my own defense, I missed the larger meaning because the Gospel writer said what he thought it meant: “He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.” Okay, so that is what I have always thought that comment intended to say. Jesus was predicting his method of execution: lifted up on a cross, in one of the most hideous forms of torture the Romans could concoct.

But as I sat in church last Sunday, I read those words again, looked at the picture

of Jesus’ face, and my heart heard a completely different message. It stopped me in my mental tracks.

“If I be lifted up….”

And who will lift up Jesus?

Me? You? The church?

Who? The questions kept flooding my soul. What have I done or said recently that lifted up Jesus? Have I worshipped him? Adored him?

Have I done anything to show my Savior to a hurting, hungry world?

Then the questions got harder.

Have I obeyed him? Have I followed him?

And harder still: Can any-

one see any glimmer of Jesus in my life? What have I done or said that brought him down, instead of lifting him up?

We sing the great hymn “Lift High the Cross,” and it never fails to stir my heart.

But what if we – you and I – lifted up the Christ instead? By our actions, our words, our listening, our faith, our constancy, can we lift him up, so that all the world may see and know that “he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings”? (Revelation 17:14) Can we lift him up so that he can draw all men and women unto himself?

O Lord, let it be so.

A walk on the east side Week two with the Shopper interns

By Sara Barrett The Shopper News interns took a “walk on the east side” last week during a visit with a feathered resident of the Knoxville Zoo, a trip to TDOT’s traffic management center, lunch at local treasure Chandler’s Restaurant and a tour of Beck Cultural

Exchange Center … with a couple of stops in between.

Shopper News publisher Sandra Clark, photographer Ruth White and reporter Sara Barrett demonstrated note taking, photography and keeping both feet firmly on the ground (sorry, Sandra).

The ‘know it all’ at Knoxville Zoo If you have only 30 minutes to spend at one of Knoxville’s most beloved tourist attractions, what is the one thing to see?

According to Tina Rolen and Nikki Edwards from the Knoxville Zoo, Congo African Grey Parrot Einstein is the “go to” bird for all

things comical and entertaining.

Edwards, the zoo’s lead trainer and presenter of shows, said Einstein can repeat about 85 sounds on command and knows hundreds more from his surroundings. Only one of four parrots like Einstein can talk, and

he is a popular feature of the “Animals in Action” show held daily at the zoo.

The interns called out different animals for Einstein to mimic including a chimpanzee and an elephant, although the 26-year-old parrot just replied with the word

“Aflac” when Edwards asked what would make him feel safe if he saw a herd of elephants coming his way.

Rolen, the zoo’s assistant director of marketing, also gave the group a scoop on a new exhibit opening in July: the Williams

Family Giraffe Experience will allow zoo visitors to get up close with giraffes and feed them by hand. Details to come.

Rolen said the zoo sees 400,000 visitors each year. “The only other attraction in Knoxville that brings in more people is UT football.”

Traffic with TDOT After a quick sprint to the car, the group headed to TDOT’s Region 1 headquarters at Strawberry Plains for a crash course (no pun intended) in traffic monitoring.

Community relations officer Mark Nagi gave the interns access to a restricted area where a wall of 18 flatscreen televisions and three operators keep all eyes on traffic flow throughout Knox County.

Dean Roberts (his Twitter account says he provides IT support for the Intelligent Transportation System here in town) said there are similar systems in Chattanooga, Memphis and Nashville. This one opened in May of 2005.

Roberts said the monitoring system includes 50 miles of fiber optic network, The interns visit the TDOT traffic management center to see the city from a different perspective.

Chowing down at Chandler’s

By Ruth White Chandler’s isn’t the biggest restaurant in town, but it’s worth the wait in line to eat some of the tastiest comfort food in East Tennessee.

During a recent football season when ESPN came to town for College Game Day, the crew polled students at UT to find out their favorite Knoxville eating place.

Chandler’s won hands down, so the crew spent three days visiting the establishment and ordering food for the day. Unknown to the Chandlers, the crew was sampling the menu before returning on day four to reveal their intentions. Chandler’s Deli

was featured on College Game Day and the popularity of the restaurant soared.

It’s not hard to understand why they are packed at lunchtime or why they have won numerous awards for having the Best Comfort Food, Best Soul Food and Best Meat and Three in town. The portions are hearty, and one bite will take you back to a place of warm fuzzy memories.

While visiting the restaurant, I tried the rotisserie chicken, homemade mac and cheese and a yeast roll.

Everything tasted just like it was prepared – with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. Charles H. and Gwen Chandler behind the counter at

A visit to Chandler’s

By Gibson Calfee Chandler’s Deli is an interesting restaurant with a lot of history. It all started in 1997 when Gwen Chandler got laid off from the Levi’s factory in Knoxville because they were relocating.

Then in 2000, Gwen’s husband Charles H. Chandler retired from his job at K-25. They wanted to do something else for whichthey both had a passion: cooking. Thus, Chandler’s was born.

Charles Chandler said “Without her, Gwen, there would be no Chandler’s.”

Since its opening on May 19, 2000, Chandler’s Deli has had many special guests come and enjoy the Southern-style cooking. Guests

have included former Green Bay Packer Raleigh McKenzie, Tennessee football player Eric Berry, former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, Gov. Bill Haslam and former “Voice of the Vols” John Ward.

The cameras are real-time only, Roberts said. TDOT does not record traffic. “We try to identify things before they become real problems,” said Roberts. TDOT runs the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

He wants everyone to “know before you go” by checking TDOT’s website or by calling 511 for the latest traffic alerts.

Haley Heritage Square After some sweet Southern food at Chandler’s, the group headed to Dandridge Avenue to see the sculpture of internationally known author Alex Haley, located in Haley Heritage Square directly across from Morningside Park.

The roots of our heritage

By Joshua Mode Whenever you think of African-American history, who do you think of? One person that might come to mind is Alex Haley.

Alex Haley was born in New York, on Aug. 11, 1921, but he grew up with his family in Henning, Tenn.

He later went into the Coast Guard for 20 years and was ranked petty officer firstclass, one of few openings African Americans had at the time.

During his time in the Coast Guard, Haley also taught himself the craft of

writing stories. It is said he was paid by other sailors to write love letters to their girlfriends. He retired from the Coast Guard in 1959.

In 1976, Haley published the best-selling novel “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” which is a story about his family’s heritage going all the way back to Africa and their incredible journey.

My dad is considered the “Alex Haley” of our family due to all his genealogy research. In a way, Haley inspired my dad. So as I

looked at the grand monument to him, I could see how he has done so much for our country. He sparked the nation’s curiosity to find their heritage again and see who they once were.

This monument stands for many things. Aside from breaking boundaries in being the second-tallest African-American monument in the world, it also is a tribute to finding your roots, and daring to try an adventure.

In the words of Alex Haley, “Find the good and praise it.”

Beck Cultural Exchange Center After a visit to the Alex Haley statue and Morningside Park, the interns stopped at Beck Cultural Exchange Center to learn about the history of local African-Americans.

The facility has more than 5,000 square feet with archives that include pictures, books, artifacts and DVDs. The original model of the Alex Haley statue is housed there.

Beck archivist and tour guide Timothy Vasser showed us a number of original works by local African-American artists and several pieces of memorabilia from Knoxville’s segregation era. There were also some very sobering items from America’s slavery period.

“Overseas, slavery wasn’t about color,” said Vasser.

“If you lost the battle, you became a slave. It did not become about color until (slavery) came to America.”

Vasser said the most important exhibit in the cen-

A sign from Sept. 11, 1915, states that the room is for “colored” individuals only. Photo by Roxanne Abernathy ter’s collection is a group of authentic slave restraints that include a ball and chain, an iron collar and a face mask.

Vasser told the interns about a recent visitor who had just come from the Underground Railroad Museum in Ohio and commented that they should have visited Beck first, because the collection of slavery artifacts was so impressive.

The second floor of the center includes many items from Knoxville native Wil-

liam Hastie Jr., a judge and public educator who, Vasser said, always told people he was a native “Knoxvillian” even long after he moved from the area.

Vasser said donations are needed for the center to continue to thrive. Together, Knox County and the city of Knoxville give Beck about $100,000 annually. The interns witnessed firsthand the expenses that can arise when Vasser said the air conditioning was not currently working.

By Roxanne Abernathy The Beck Cultural Exchange Center, founded in 1975, is a museum of art and history for African-American culture, also focusing on different parts of the civil rights movement. Many pictures are displayed in

what was once the Beck house.

The Becks were a couple living in Knoxville during the time of segregation, from the 1920s to the 1960s. Most of the original house is still standing.

Beck has many different rooms with exhib-

its, including local and modern artists and other historical material. The center is able to continue operating because of donations from the community of both time and money. Some fundraising is currently being planned for the summer.

Items include a ball and chain, neck shackle and face mask.

Make it a stay-cation at Beck

By Madeline Lonas Being the largest African-American organization in East Tennessee, you can imagine why Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a major tourist attraction. The house in which most of the artifacts are held is over 125 years old. Throughout the building you see many different artifacts, paintings, and other knick-knacks that tell a story of African-American history.

Beck is home to more than 10,000 pictures and drawings. The newest is a hand-drawn timeline including famous African Americans from the 1800s

to modern times. The timeline is black and white with just pictures.

Artist Allen Jones asked Beck organizers if they wanted him to identify the subjects and their time periods. The folks at Beck told him no, that they had a strong feeling everyone would know who they were.

Tour guide Timothy Vasser’s favorite showcase is in a room full of paintings and drawings. One glass case is full of artifacts from the time of slavery, showcasing the equipment used on disobedient slaves. The case includes a neck yoke, a face

mask, shackles, ball and chains, and locks. All were made of metal and used on the slaves. The terrifying stories he told us of how the equipment was used on the slaves were heart-wrenching. Vasser said the slaves just wanted what everyone else wanted, rights and a house, to not be owned by someone else and to not be treated poorly. You could tell he was an expert on this.

For everyone with children, or an eye for history, the Beck Center provides a very fun, educational tour that’s free. Instead if a vacation, it could be a staycation.

Coming up ... Week three: ‘Farragut Play Day’

In week three the interns will visit the Concord Park Par 3 golf course for some lessons with advanced players their age. Concord historian (and Shopper News columnist) Malcolm Shell will stop by during lunch at Lakeside Tavern, and WBIR has invited the group to a taping of Live at Five at Four. See what happens in our June 24 edition.

Interns were surprised to see the historic items including a water fountain restricted for use by white individuals. Photo by Sarah Dixon

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Connecting students with technology tools

Karla Fultz prepares for a makeover

By Wendy Smith Persistence paid off when A.L. Lotts Elementary School teacher Karla Fultz entered Oak Ridge Associated Universities’ Extreme Classroom Makeover for the third time.

She won $25,000 to spend on technology for her 5th grade classroom.

Karla Fultz visits with Ben Keziah, Jared Watkins, Olivia Knowling and Kylie Stooksbury during Camp Invention last week. Keziah, Watkins and Stooksbury were in her 5th grade class last year.

Knowling will be a 5th grader at A.L. Lotts this fall.

I’m so glad you’re here, now we know what we’re missing; Technology is something we shouldn’t be dismissing.

I want to use the tools of my generation; Connecting to the world will provide acceleration.

“Gangnam Style” rap written by Karla Fultz for ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest Last week, Fultz’s classroom was shrouded with black plastic for Camp Invention. But the room will soon undergo another transformation as the equipment she has purchased is installed. At the end of July, ORAU will host an Extreme Classroom Makeover “reveal” party for last year’s students and their families.

Fultz is excited, but also overwhelmed. She plans to devote much of her time over the next few weeks to learning how to use the new equipment. She may not be savvy when it comes to electronics, but her creativity shines through in the video she wrote for the ORAU contest, which is on the consortium’s website.

The video tells the story of a new student being introduced to the class during a science lesson. Technology, one of the students says, is anything that makes life easier, like a toothbrush or a pencil. The new student asks if the classroom has any examples of technology from this century, then launches into a rap in a “Gangnam Style” video takeoff.

Fultz regrets that the students who worked so hard on the video won’t get to use the new equipment. But she’s happy that most will attend West Valley Middle School, which is one of 11 schools that will pilot Knox County’s one-to-one technology effort (one technology device for each student) this fall.

Before choosing equipment, Fultz sought the advice of two previous

Extreme Classroom Makeover winners. Rocky Hill Elementary 5th grade teacher Jordan Haney won the prize in 2010, and he suggested that Fultz purchase a variety of devices for students to use, rather than 24 of the same thing. She chose a mix of notebook computers and tablets will with rotate students throughout the year, and she thinks the variety will keep students engaged.

She also observed how Heather Burkhart, a 5th grade teacher at Pigeon Forge Middle School, utilizes one-to-one technology. Burkhart, who won the makeover in 2012, constantly assesses her students, which enables her to monitor learning, Fultz says.

Fultz considered spending a chunk of her budget on a new active board, but opted instead to purchase a 70inch flat-screen television equipped with Apple TV. Each electronic device in the classroom will be able to communicate with the television.

She has much to learn, but she’s very motivated to reach her students, who are often bored at school and anxious to get home so they can use technology there. Working on computers in the classroom will keep students interested, and also help them prepare for future jobs, she says.

In addition to motivating students, Fultz hopes to make ORAU proud.

The consortium wants to see if having

She received $25,000 to spend on technology from ORAU’s Extreme Classroom Makeover contest this spring. Photos by Wendy Smith technology in the classroom makes a difference in student learning, and she wants her students’ test scores to show that it does, she says.

A. L. Lotts principal Adam Parker will also have an eye on the students in Fultz’s class.

“As we watch the technology classroom environment unfold, it can give us some insight as to how we may be

able to better approach a one-to-one environment effectively as it relates to delivering curriculum,” he says.

Her summer vacation will be shorter than usual, but next month’s “reveal” will be the culmination of a lot of hard work – and a lot of fun – for Fultz.

“It’s been a really special year for all of us,” she says. “It’s something we’ll never forget.”

business

By Cindy Taylor O’Reilly Auto Parts is open in Halls and folks are glad to hear it. With eight knowledgeable employees on staff, the store is ready to meet customer needs from car cleaners to crankshafts and everything in between.

This is the 10th store to open in the Knoxville area.

“People were driving to the store on Emory from the Halls area,” said district manager Dave Davis. “We opened the new store in Halls for customer convenience.”

Many in the Halls community are pleased that the company chose to remodel the old Blockbuster Video building rather than starting from the ground up. Employees at O’Reilly say the company always attempts to use existing buildings whenever possible.

Paramedics honored, meet patients Two Rural/Metro ambulance teams have received special honors for providing expert pre-hospital care, and they were able to meet the patients whose lives they saved.

On May 23, Rural/Metro paramedics Tasha Wise, Sarah Bickley and Jeffery Lamparter, along with representatives of the city of Knoxville Fire Department and Knox County Schools, were honored with a Tennessee Emergency Medical Services for Children Star of Life Award for their quick action in saving the life of a 14-year-old Central High School student.

In October 2012, Hunter Helton suddenly collapsed while running in the gym. A Central High School coach used an automated external defibrillator located at the school to restart his heart.

KFD first responders and Rural/Metro responded, and Rural/Metro transported him to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital quickly, providing expert emergency care en route. This quick action saved his life.

“The Rural/Metro team’s expertise and our seamless teamwork with Knox County Schools and the Knoxville

Fire Department saved a young man’s life last fall,” said Dennis Rowe, Rural/ Metro market general manager. “I am proud of our hardworking men and women at Rural/Metro and our first responders who stand ready to step in at any moment in the case of a medical emergency.”

The Star of Life Award is given annually to honor outstanding EMS professionals from across Tennessee who provide life-saving care on the front lines. At the ceremony, Helton helped present the award to the team who saved his life.

On May 30, another Rural/Metro ambulance team was honored by a patient at UT Medical Center. UT Medical Center hosted a reception where paramedics Ryan Morris and Tasha Wise were reunited with John Sharp, a North Knox resident who survived a near fatal car accident.

In February 2012, Sharp was severely injured in a car accident which tore the top portion of his heart, a condition that is one of the top three causes of death in trauma injuries. Sharp was unconscious while being transported to UT Medical

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Targeted approach to treating metastatic brain cancer After battling kidney cancer since 2008, Ronald Myers of Maryville, 68, was on his way to a University of Tennessee football game in November of 2011 when his wife, Angela, realized something else was wrong.

“I was opening the truQk of the car, looking for something, and I guess I looked funny, because my wife said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ ” His face was numb, and his vision burry.

After several doctors’ visits and tests, Myers was told the cancer had spread to his brain, called a metastasis.

“About 20 to 40 percent of all cancers will eventually spread to the brain,” explained Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, a radiation oncologist at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survaval Center and one of Myers’ physicians. “Brain metastases Dr. Joe Meyer have become more common as better treatments allow patients to live longer with cancer.”

Physicians at Fort Sanders have several options for treating brain metastases, typically using a combination of procedures.

“We have a team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, radiation physicists and nurses who work together to evaluate patients and determine the best treatment for each one,” said Dr. Meyer. “We individualize the treatment based on each person’s situation.”

First, Myers had traditional brain sur-

Ronald Myers

gery with Dr. David Hauge, a neurosurgeon, in November of 2011.

But after that, several other lesions arose. Myers had a choice between receiving whole-brain radiation, in which the whole brain receives treatment, or Gamma Knife radiosurgery, in which only the tu-

mors are targeted. Wholebrain radiation is more effective at preventing new tumors, but there are serious side effects.

“In whole brain radiation, there’s hair loss, skin irritation, fatigue and effects on neurocognitive function. Mr. Myers wanted to avoid those side effects, so he chose the Gamma Knife,” said Dr. Meyer.

The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion surgical system at Fort Sanders targets only the brain cancer cells, without damaging nearby tissue.

The Perfexion system is the most advanced and precise radiosurgical system in the world. It is one of 30 in the nation and the only one in East Tennessee.

“The Gamma Knife is the latest technology available, and we have the most precise tool of all,” said Dr. Meyer.

While it is used to treat other brain disorders, increasingly the Gamma Knife system is being used to treat metastatic brain tumors that are inoperable with traditional surgery.

Myers underwent Gamma Knife procedures in February and October of 2012.

“The whole experience, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely the best.”

The non-invasive treatment involves no cutting and takes about two to six hours.

Local anesthesia is applied while a lightweight helmet is secured to the skull, to hold the patient still during treatment.

The patient feels nothing unusual during the procedure.

“It’s not painful at all,” said Myers. “But you just have to understand that any time your body absorbs radiation, you end up weak for a few days. It does take you a few days to get over it.”

As with anyone who undergoes a Gamma Knife procedure, Myers will continue to be monitored periodically for new brain lesions. But he said he would recommend Fort Sanders Regional for anyone facing the difficult situation of a brain metastasis.

“The whole experience, as far as I’m concerned, is absolutely the best,” Myers said. “The two doctors who run it are great people, and the nurses were wonderful too, so kind. My experience was great.

“There’s no doubt in my mind Dr. Hauge and Dr. Meyer saved my life,” he added. “I can’t say enough good things about them.”

For more information about Gamma Knife Services, call 865-673-FORT (3678).

Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’ The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion machine has treated nearly 340 patients since coming to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2011. And both physicians and patients are delighted with the results.

“I continue to be amazed by the tumor reduction we receive using gamma knife technology,” says Dr. David H. Hauge, Medical Director of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

Using the Gamma Knife radiosurgery system requires a team effort. “We have both neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists together in the pretreatment evaluation, as well as the Dr. David actual proceHauge dure. Speciallytrained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and pleasant experience for the patient,” explains Hauge.

Despite its name, the Gamma Knife is not really a “knife.”

There’s no cutting, no anesthesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying

them while leaving healthy tissue unharmed in the process.

Treatments can last less than two hours, and patients go home the same day.

Gamma Knife can also be used to treat a number of other brain disorders, like non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tumors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood vessels in the brain.

Fort Sanders is an “open” center, meaning Gamma Knife credentialed and trained physicians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Six neurosurgeons and five radiation oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

The biggest benefit of the Gamma Knife is its ability to treat multiple tumors at once, up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors developed from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kidney and melanoma.

The Gamma Knife is much safer than other radiosurgical tools for brain tumors because it does not expose the rest of the

brain or body to radiation. “We can deliver the treatment with pinpoint precision,” explains Fort Sanders’ neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Norman.

“When you’re delivering radiation to the Dr. Joel brain, particuNorman larly around the brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is everything.”

Dr. Hauge agrees. “In a recent study, Gamma Knife was shown to deliver far less radiation to the rest of the body outside the brain than any other currently available cranial radiosurgical technology.”

However, while the Gamma Knife is one of a kind in the area, it is not a cure for everything.

Some tumors of the brain will still need traditional surgery.

“Gamma Knife adds another treatment option for patients with brain cancers or other noncancerous abnormalities in the brain,” says Dr. Norman.

For more information about the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center, call 865-541-4000.

Brain Surgery without the “Surgery” Gamma Knife Radiosurgery The world’s most comprehensive and precise treatment for brain cancer and other brain tumors is the Leksell Perfexion Gamma Knife. And the only center in Tennessee with this life-changing treatment is in Knoxville at the Fort Sanders Regional Gamma Knife Center located at Thompson Cancer Survival Center.

Treatment takes one day, not multiple sessions. Recovery time is quick…most patients go home the same day. But the best part, our patients tell us, is there is no “surgery”…. no incision, no anesthesia.

It’s about returning to family, friends and living life as soon as possible.

Gamma Knife technology has treated thousands and is considered the Gold Standard1 in the treatment of malignant and benign brain tumors, vascular malformations in the brain and other brain disorders. No other radiosurgery system is more precise with less total radiation to the body.

West Knoxville resident Jill Bartine enjoys two careers. Photos by Sarah Harper

Everything changes, including the Critter Corner.

From now on, it’ll just be “Carol’s Corner.” In the coming months you’ll meet all kinds of interesting people – everyday heroes, professionals in one area with a consuming interest in another, folks who’ve overcome extraordinary circumstances.

And there will still be plenty of critters! This column loves animals and always will. So don’t worry – there are lots of creature features still to come.

But for now, let’s meet one of those interesting people mentioned earlier.

She’s a professional musician and has been since she was straight out of college.

And in the past few years, she’s discovered another true calling.

West Knox resident Jill

Feeling put upon? Try a warrior pose!

Adoption fee is $100 each.

Carol Zinavage

Carol’s Corner Bartine, originally from Houma, La., has played flute with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra since 2000. She also sings and plays flute and tin whistle with local Irish band Red-Haired Mary.

She started on her instrument in the 5th grade, but didn’t really get serious about it until she met famed composer/conductor Alfred Reed during an honor band experience in high school.

He steered her toward Northwestern University in Chicago, long recognized as one of the country’s top music schools, where she received her bachelor’s degree. After completing her master’s degree at UT, she auditioned for and won a position with the KSO. Of her role in the orchestra, Bartine says, “I actually love playing second flute as opposed to being the star.

When I sing, I naturally gravitate toward lower harmonies, so I guess the same holds true for me on the flute. And I’m a detailedoriented person and player, so I do a good job at paying attention to the principal player and enjoy the challenge of trying to match.”

Busy as she already was with her music, in 2002 she walked into The Rush and had a life-changing experience. She discovered yoga.

“It was pretty much love at first sight,” she says. “It was the only type of exercise

KSO flutists Cynthia D’Andrea, Jill Bartine, and Ebonee Thomas Photo by Stacy Miller

I’d ever done that didn’t feel like exercise. It made me feel extremely powerful, yet peaceful at the same time.”

Over the years Bartine, who dislikes exercise and says she’s never been “a fitness person,” continued with occasional yoga classes. In the back of her mind was the idea that she might teach yoga one day.

But she describes herself as “not naturally flexible,” and didn’t think she had what it takes. Besides, her music career and the arrival of twin boys Noah and Owen, now 9, kept her mind on other things.

Along the way, a yoga teacher at the Y calmed her “inflexible” fears and advised her that “there was more to teaching yoga than being able to put your foot behind your head.”

In the summer of 2011, she took the plunge and enrolled in The Glowing Body’s 200-hour intensive program. For two weekends each month, she spent 10hour days practicing poses, learning anatomy, reading and writing about all aspects of yoga. When she received her certification, the jobs started falling right into her lap – first at The Practice, then at The Glowing Body and Real Hot Yoga.

Social media-wise, she is now “Flutist Yogini” (look for her on Facebook.) She summarizes her yogic style as “flow, or ‘vinyasa,’ which coordinates breath and movement. Depending on my audience, sometimes it’s on the gentler side, sometimes it’s full-on hard-core power yoga. But in all my classes, I strive to make the practice challenging, yet accessible.”

She’s reaped countless benefits from her own yoga practice. Her allergies are gone, she has better breath control in flute playing, and she is “no longer a worrier.”

She’s also gained a half-inch in height.

Bartine stresses that people of all ages and abilities can benefit from yoga, and that “you can even do it in a chair.” She’ll soon begin teaching classes at Your Journeys, a PTSD recovery program in Knoxville. Info: http://www.yourjourneys. net/#!ptsd-101/cp86.

As for the foot-behindthe-head issue, she laughs, “I’ll never be able to do that!” For Bartine, what really matters is sharing the richness of yoga with others. “I absolutely love teaching yoga!”
