Miracle Maker

Sometimes all you need is an outstretched d hand, a bridge, if you will, to help you reach your destination.

The Knox County Schools Summer Bridge Program is designed to do just that. Atrisk 8th grade students give up eight weeks of their summer to participate in the program, which aims to qualify them academically for the 9th grade.

Karns High School assistant principal Mike Toth is the principal of the program at Halls High this summer.

Madge retires Madge Cain doesn’t know whether she’s going to like retirement or not. After all, she retired twice before.

She’s 85, looks at least 15 years younger and says she loves people. So, she’s particularly going to miss her parttime job as a teller at the ORNL Federal Credit Union’s Clinton Highway branch.

Kindness for all There are Little Leagues that give every player a trophy. Careful with fragile psyches. Emphasize equality.

Do not damage self-worth.

Phil Steele, distinguished sportswriter and magazine publisher, uses that mentality in picking preseason football all-Americans. Almost everybody who can line up properly is an honoree – 120 of ’em.

Let there be kindness for all.

A blade of grass I remember fondly that Jack Paar (late night TV show host from the ’60s) confessed on the air that he worried about the Holland Tunnel because it had to go to New Jersey by itself. Now that is a world class worrier!

I can relate. I have confessed in this space (quite often) that I am a worrier.

It’s genetic; what can I say? I know that!

I also know that it is sinful.

Up a creek…

FFamily amily event promotes stream health, education

By Jake Mabe Nothing was going to stop Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett from joining in the fun at the first Families in the Creek event at the Halls Greenway on June 22.

Burchett showed up, put on a pair of waders, jumped in the creek and was holding a fish in about two minutes. He knows his stuff, too.

“Beaver Creek is the only tributary that begins and ends in Knox County,” Burchett said.

Hizzhonor and a host of families all were sporting big grins that Saturday, just what organizers wanted for the free event.

“Basically, this is family education. We hope to teach them a little about watersheds, mainly stream health, but it’s more about fun,” said Knox County Watershed Coordinator Roy Arthur.

About 40 people took turns in four rotations. The first rotation was a fish assessment, in which a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) biologist helped participants collect and identify the fish, the type and number of which are indicators of the creek’s health.

The second rotation involved what Arthur called “kicking up and capturing” bottom-dwelling bugs,

Resource Conservation Service visual assessment to help participants evaluate the stream’s health based on a variety of conditions.

The fourth rotation was a scavenger hunt in which participants used observational skills to look at the relationship between land uses and stormwater and how it can affect creek health. Participants were given opportunities to identify actions they could take to reduce these impacts.

The event was hosted by the Beaver Creek Task Force (including the Knox County Stormwater Program, the Tennessee Water Resources Research Center, the Knox County Soil Conservation District and Hallsdale Powell Utility District) and Knox County Parks and Recreation.

Arthur said organizers hope to make Families in the Creek an annual event.

Sponsors include Cannon and Cannon, AMEC Engineering, No Pile Left Behind Waste Removal Service, Water Resources LLC, Third Rock Consultants LLC, Food City, and Patterson Trucking and Hauling.

Volunteers included TDEC biologists Larry Everett and Jason Mann, Beaver Creek Task Force members Parci Gibson and Roy Arthur (Knox County Stormwater), Knox County Soil Conservation District members Amy Man Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett looks as Tennessee Department of and Matt Ledford, UT Tennessee Environment and Conservation biologist Larry Everett points out some of Water Resources Research Center the waterfowl during the Families in the Creek event June 22 at Beaver Creek rep Ruth Anne Hanahan, and CAC near the Halls Greenway.

Magic at Powell Playhouse

By Betty Bean Powell Playhouse maestro Nita Buell Black smells magic in the air – Excalibur Magic. Fourth generation magician Lance Johnson, acclaimed as the South’s most gifted abracadabra practitioner, is bringing his act, “A New Twist in Reality,” to the playhouse Friday, July 19.

“This is Lance’s solo debut at Powell Playhouse, and I’m very excited,” Black said. “He has an assistant, and I don’t know whether he’s going to levitate this lady or cut her in half.”

Powell Playhouse regulars got a

taste of what Johnson can do whe he appeared there in January as a supporting act in a show called “Rhythm and Laughter” which featured his father, ventriloquist Wade Johnson, and his dummy, Willie Siegle. Both father and son were hits, and the younger Johnson, who is from Chattanooga, impressed Black so much that she invited him back as a headliner.

“It’s going to be fast-paced and music-fi lled,” she said. “His brother, Dr. Mark Johnson, an internal medicine specialist who practices here in Powell, will be master of ceremonies, so it’s re-

Tennova promises north presence after move to Middlebrook

By Betty Bean A trio of Tennova brass turned out last week to reassure a crowd of North Knoxville residents and five members of City Council that Tennova will maintain a strong presence in the facility formerly known as St. Mary’s. They also said that plans to relocate Physicians Regional Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike are moving forward.

Tennova Director of Development Melanie Robinson said Tennova is continuing to spend money on the old hospital on the edge of the inner city, primarily in renovations to the LL2 main lobby and St. Mary’s Women’s Pavilion which are in process.

She listed the assets at the old hospital – it is the only accredited

chest pain center in the county and the busiest emergency room in the county. And the presence of the Sisters of Mercy, founders of St. Mary’s 83 years ago, is a huge plus.

“There is a great culture there started by the sisters.

That’s incredibly important to us.

We have pledged Garfield to keep the sisters there as long as they want to be,” Robinson said.

But she said there are serious problems as well, foremost of which are the wishes of doctors who want to follow the population growth on the west side of town. There are also problems associated with operating and maintaining a 1.6 million square foot building, parts of which

are severely dated.

“Those are the realities,” Robinson said. “We considered four options.”

Those options are maintaining the status quo, which Robinson said was rejected by physicians, the majority of whom “… are choosing to practice elsewhere,” she said. “Our physicians bring our patients in the door.”

The second option – “status quo plus” – is a major remodel that would have to begin with an $80 million electrical upgrade.

“This would deeply interrupt patient care today. This is our largest busiest hospital and we cannot do this,” Robinson said.

Option three is to build a flagship medical center at Tennova North, the new facility off Emory Road at I-75.

“Physicians are not excited about

“My niece, Carley Johnson, will actually be doing the MC-ing, and this will be the first time in 30 years that our family has done a show together – a complete Johnson family show. I am going to open the show and go for about To page A-3 that option,” Robinson said, adding that staging such a move would be extremely difficult.

The fourth, and preferred, option is to move Physicians Regional Medical Center to Middlebrook Pike where Tennova has optioned 107 acres. Robinson said this move will better serve patients from an 11-county area.

Most members of the audience are residents of North Knoxville and/or Fountain City, many of whom said they were born, or had had children born at St. Mary’s. A sprinkling of West Hills residents who live near the new site were present, as well. They are upset that they were given no notice of a bill that was approved by the legislature to remove the scenic highway designation from the segment of Middlebrook Pike fronting the Tennova property.

One member of the audience asked whether Tennova’s parent To page A-3

Third retirement’s the charm for Madge Cain Madge Cain doesn’t know whether she’s going to like retirement or not. After all, she retired twice before.

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS She’s 85, looks at least 15 years younger and says she loves people. So, she’s particularly going to miss her part-time job as a teller at the ORNL Federal Credit Union’s Clinton Highway branch. She’s worked there for two and one-half days a week for 17 years and only had to take two sick days. “They’ve been so good to me,� Madge says. “I didn’t want any promotion. I just wanted to keep my little window.�

Madge grew up on Cabbage Road in Halls and graduated in the Halls High Class of 1946. Her father, Will Coomer, had a dairy. “I grew up milking cows and buttering milk.�

Will had a delivery route and one of his customers gave Madge piano lessons in exchange for milk.

She went to work at Park Bank as a file clerk right out of high school. That lasted until a young man named Charles Cain noticed the red-headed girl playing the organ during a revival at Salem Baptist Church.

Charles took one look and said, “I’m going to marry that girl.� And he did, two years later, in January 1950.

Madge stayed home to

raise her children until Charles, an electrical engineer at KUB, died of leukemia in 1965. She was 38 and by that time had three girls: Anne, 12; Carolyn, 10, and Linda, 6. “KUB offered me a job, but it just had two weeks off in the summer and I needed more time with the girls. My two sisters were in education, so they wrote (then Knox County Schools Superintendent) Mildred Doyle a letter.�

Madge went to work as the secretary and bookkeeper at Cedar Bluff Elementary (and later Cedar Bluff Intermediate) for 13 years. “At the time, I thought it took an eternity to (drive) there!�

She eventually found a job closer to home at Transus Motor Freight on Pleasant Ridge Road. “I worked there for 18 years until it sold out to another freight company.�

That’s when somebody at Beaver Dam Baptist, where she attends, told Madge that ORNL was hiring senior citizens.

She’s been blessed with good health and gives God all the credit. “I’ve been in the hospital three times, to have my three kids, and that’s it.

The Lord has been so good.

He also helped me with my children. I don’t know how I got them through UT and all the bills paid.�

Madge says her mother, Bessie, lived with her for 10 years and helped with the children. She’s quite proud of them.

Anne Allen is the music secretary at Beaver Dam. Carolyn Lovelace is the executive assistant to the Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance in Nashville. Linda

Magic at Playhouse 25 minutes. Dad will come on and do his ventriloquist act and then I’ll come back and close the show.�

When asked to define the difference between a magician and an illusionist, Johnson cracked an old trade joke: “If you are an illusionist, you can charge more money for shows,� he said, laughing. “An illusionist does the big box tricks. I have a warehouse full of illusions.�

Lance, whose day job is working for Chattanooga commercial developer CBL & Associates Properties Inc., says it would have been hard for him not to be interested in magic, which he started absorbing at an early age from his grandfather, James Johnson. “From the first time I saw my grandfather prac-

ticing or doing shows, I was hooked,â€? he said. “Out of everyone in the family, I’m the only one who does it professionally. No one but me. Nobody else really wanted to do it. I have all the magic he had from years ago, and a lot of the magic he passed down to me is not made anymore, and people don’t get to see it very much. ‌ I keep a lot of his magic in storage because it’s too valuable to take a chance on it getting broken or lost, or something.â€?

Lance began doing magic tricks when he was 10 years old, performing for paying audiences when he was 13. A graduate of the Bermuda Mavericks Comedy School, he has worked comedy clubs all over the country, primarily in the Southeast. He has also per-

The Eugenia Williams home File photo by Wendy Smith

Williams home merits protection Over two decades ago, the University of Tennessee acquired by gift the historic Eugenia Williams home at 4848 Lyons View Pike. This home was designed by the noted Knoxville architect John Fanz Staub in 1940.

The only other surviving Staub house in Knoxville is Hopecote on Melrose Avenue, also owned by UT and used for official visitors.

At the time, it was thought the house, which is over 10,000-square-feet on 24 acres, might become the residence for the UT president. In fact, a luncheon was held on April 26, 2006, at the Williams home hosted by then UT President John Petersen where a campaign to raise $3 million was discussed. Jim and Natalie Haslam were to chair that campaign.

The Haslams, prominent attorney and preservationist Tom McAdams and his wife, Melissa, and Sherri Lee attended. Melissa McAdams’ mother, Donna Kerr, and late father, Bill Gallivan, had lived immediately east of the house for many years. That home is now owned by UT Trustee Charlie Anderson.

Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam lives two houses west of the Williams house.

A 24-page brochure had been printed by UT which pictured the Haslams as leading this campaign with the house to be used as a president’s residence.

Later the idea of the UT president having a home provided by the university was abandoned and the current home on Cherokee Boulevard still has not sold despite several attempts.

Why this campaign was abandoned remains speculation. No one is really saying, although it is thought the UT trustees in 2006 wanted it dropped because it might detract from the $100 million capital campaign then starting for UT. On June 13, I toured the house with UT Trustee Raja Jubran. It was a first time visit for both of us.

Interestingly, my request to see the interior of the house had been initially turned down by the UT system public relations

though we still cannot build on that property, Helen Ross McNabb just bought the adjoining property, a church that went into foreclosure.

We can put the safety center on that property. Kudos to HRM for taking the steps to make it happen!”

McNabb Center CEO Andy Black confirmed that the community mental health agency has bought property for the safety center next door to its CenterPointe Detoxification and Crisis Stabilization Center, and that the church building on the property that formerly housed the New Vision Fellowship can be remodeled to meet safety center standards.

“We bought it simply be-

cause it is adjacent to our property. If it is accepted by the city and county, we feel that it has great potential for a safety center.”

Back in February, Black, Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and District Attorney Randy Nichols met with North Knoxville residents and presented the plan to build the safety center next door to the Helen Ross McNabb Center on W. Springdale Avenue in Oakwood Lincoln Park. They were met with complaints that the 37917 zip code has already been asked to accommodate more than its share of social service agencies – particularly those dealing with the homeless population.

In addition to saving

money by remodeling rather than building new, locating next door to the CenterPointe facility will create money-saving efficiencies, Black said.

“We will create savings in staff time and transportation. Rather than an officer arresting them and taking them to jail, they would be diverted through this safety center and triaged here. Alcohol and drug assessment is a 23-hour process, and if they have mental health issues they would have the opportunity to go through the crisis stabilization unit for up to three days.”

The Ball Camp Road property is about three miles from the Springdale Avenue mental health center.

mously, and it would have passed County Commission if three commissioners had not been absent.

Amy Broyles, Tony Norman and Jeff Ownby missed the vote, which failed 4-4.

Under commission rules, a successful vote must have a majority of the body (or 6 of 11), so Seymour’s challenge was to get 6 of the 8 commissioners present.

Brad Anders, in whose district the property lies, made the motion for rezoning and voted yes. He was joined by R. Larry Smith, Dave Wright and Sam McKenzie.

Voting no were Richard Briggs, Mike Brown, Ed Shouse and Mike Hammond.

Garrett cannot bring back this proposal for one year, although Seymour said afterwards he can bring a different proposal.

Seymour argued that rezoning for 8.5 dwelling units per acre simply made the property more marketable.

He noted that a buyer would have to secure approval for his site plans from all applicable authorities.

Seymour said traffic access would be onto Hardin Valley Road and there would be a 100-foot setback between the development and adjacent subdivision.

“There must be two more hearings before anything can be built,” he said.

“That’s double protection for Harrison Springs.”

Also on June 24, the

Windsor Gardens

commission voted to give $35,000 to Mobile Meals (instead of the $500,000 requested by Broyles).

Wright complained about debris on railroad rightsof-way in the 8th District, leading Brown to mention three “one-lane railroad underpasses” in his district.

Brown concluded: “That sucks.”

The agenda was finished early, perhaps leading to the absences of Norman, Broyles and Ownby for the rezoning meeting at 5 p.m.

Commissioners have a responsibility to attend the once-a-month meeting. Not showing up is irresponsible and does a disservice to citizens.

Just ask Philip Garrett.

Summer recollections NATURE NOTES | Dr. Bob Collier Ah, summer! We whined and complained for months that winter would never end, spring was cold and wet, and then, there it was, Friday, June 21, the first day of summer!

After all these years, the beginning of summer still calls forth the glorious feeling of school being out, of long, hot days filled with no plans or schedules other than to be outdoors from daylight to dark, and then doing it all again the next day, and the next, for days and weeks to come.

And outdoors was the key. There was very little to hold a kid indoors then.

Being called indoors for supper was usually the main time milepost of the day. And of course there was the occasional rainy day; two in a row was almost unbearable. Mostly, it was out there with the sky, grass, trees and critters, bicycles to be ridden and creeks to be waded in.

With all those long daylight hours, it was as if Mother Nature, remembering all those cold, dreary months just gone by, was trying to get everything up and going, growing all the produce possible as fast as possible. And so summer is a time for a lot of work, too.

Look around at the flower beds full of color, the farmers putting up big fields of hay, acres and acres of rows of corn, growing by the day.

And all that hard work made those resting times even sweeter. Some of the best memories of summer

come from the sittingaround times.

After an enormous Sunday dinner cooked by a grandma, there would be a Sunday afternoon at Uncle Will’s place, just sitting in the yard in the shade, talking, looking, listening, possibly finished off with a big, cold watermelon. And the regular long weekday evenings spent sitting on the porch or in the yard were more frequent, but no less magical. We didn’t realize how close to heaven we were.

Reflecting on this summertime environment, I couldn’t help but think about some of the creatures great and small that provided the background scenery and music for those events, now turned to memories.

Think, for example, of all those fireflies that came out as dusk fell, first low over the grass and then later, up into the trees, as if they were reflecting the lights of all those thousands of stars that could be seen on a clear summer night. A bug that could fly around making its rear end flash with a cool yellow glow? They were great fun to catch and keep in a jar for a little while, but I don’t remember any major discussions about the science behind the phenomenon.

Against the backdrop of stars and fireflies was the orchestra – the music of the summer night. We always felt that the noisy song of the jarflies, mostly our common seven-year ci-

cadas, made it really, officially, summer. And slightly less loud, but a lot more numerous and melodious, were the katydids, sawing away on their little fiddles until well into the night.

And the birds? As summer grows, the birds become much quieter. Courtships are over, parenting duties mostly completed.

The cacophony of early morning birdsong has thinned down and tapers off much earlier in the day.

There are a few diehards, however. One of our most numerous birds, the red-eyed vireo, still sings on and on, well into the afternoon. This has earned him the nickname “preacher bird,” because of his apparent problem of knowing when to quit his vocalizations.

And then there is our voice of the summer night, the mockingbird. He blesses us with his beautiful, ever-changing song, sometimes all through the night.

One used to sing to me each morning as I grudgingly trudged through the predawn hours, delivering the Knoxville Journal, centuries ago.

Of course, in all of this idyllic panorama there has to be a villain or two. For most of us the summer villains are bugs. “Bugs” is a term that covers a whole spectrum of life forms.

Some folks greatly fear caterpillars, others loathe spiders. But for me, the villains that most disturb my enjoyment of a peace-

ful summer evening in the yard are mosquitoes.

People have fought mosquitoes for centuries. DDT proved to be our most effective weapon. We sprayed it on our crops, we sprayed it on the children playing in the streets. The problem with DDT, it turned out, was that it killed everything else, too, including us. And some of the mosquitoes became resistant to it. The mosquitoes are a foe nearly as hard to defeat

as it is for the Vols to beat that other serious pest, the Crimson Tide.

Therefore, it gives me great satisfaction to sit out on a summer evening and watch my allies in this struggle, the bats, the chimney swifts and the swallows, up there working the skies for an enormous harvest of bugs. They catch all their food on the fly (no pun intended, but it does work), and are as skillful maneuvering in the air as those

little “Star Wars” fighter-jet things. They eat tons and tons of insects every night.

And even if one or two of the evil little blood-suckers does get me, I am still happy in the knowledge that thousands of their kin are being consumed right there over my head.

Summer is a marvelous time. I hope we can all still slow down occasionally, just to sit and watch it and listen to it. It sure makes great memories.

Summer small talk There are Little Leagues that give every player a trophy. Careful with fragile psyches. Emphasize equality. Do not damage self-worth.

Phil Steele, distinguished sportswriter and magazine publisher, uses that mentality in picking preseason football allAmericans. Almost everybody who can line up properly is an honoree – 120 of ’em. Let there be kindness for all.

Sixty-three schools are represented, the better to sell more magazines. There are 27 “all-Americans” in the Southeastern Conference.

Eight are from Alabama.

Tennessee is represented by offensive tackle Antonio Richardson, linebacker A.J. Johnson and

Why not offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James? He can line up.

SEC football coaches are staunchly opposed to playing nine SEC games each season. Their logic is rooted in self-preservation.

I can relate. I have confessed in this space (quite often) that I am a worrier.

It’s genetic; what can I say?

I know that!

I also know that it is sinful.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus chastised his listeners about worry. “Do

not worry about your life,” he said, “what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”

Then he went on to say, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon

Big man Jeronne Maymon does have good news on the sideline. He could be 100 percent healthy by the end of July. Or maybe August. Or soon thereafter. The season doesn’t begin until November.

After Maymon is 100 percent healthy, when he can run full speed and do stop-and-go drills, he has to get into basketball playing condition. That will involve losing weight and regaining quickness.

Antonio Barton, transfer-to-be from Memphis, is healthy but occupied with three Internet courses and an internship. He must finish those to graduate. He must graduate before he can switch schools for his fourth season of eligibility. Some NCAA rules are quirky like that.

Barton and Maymon are very large in Volunteer plans for this winter. An-

tonio is projected as the starting point guard. Maymon is the missing link to the NCAA tournament.

Those two may determine when or if Cuonzo Martin gets a raise.

I like Butch Jones’ brick-by-brick campaign to rebuild Tennessee football.

If that is an original idea, the College Football Hall of Fame, under construction in downtown Atlanta, has copied it.

The hall-to-be is selling commemorative bricks, to be engraved with a name and a message, for $100.

Larger bricks are $200 and $300. I don’t know how much a wall costs but if you want to buy one, I’ll find out.

Twenty-one former Volunteers plus Bob Neyland and Doug Dickey are in the Hall of Fame. The new home in Atlanta is supposed to open in the fall of 2014. It might happen earlier if you buy enough bricks.

in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.”

I have had the privilege of standing on the green, sloping hillside where Jesus spoke those words, looking out over the Sea of Galilee. There were wildflowers growing all over that hill, even in the March winds. There was a souldeep peace in that place, a peace that made me feel that I could lay down all my worries right there, and walk away from them.

Of course, being a worrier, I picked them up again.

But the Talmud tells us about the angels who at-

tend to each blade of grass.

And if each blade of grass has its own angel, then surely I do as well. And so do you!

It is hard to hang onto that assurance sometimes.

I recognize that. However, Jesus insisted that if we would “…strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, …all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6: 33) Or, as one of my college professors assured me, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are supposed to do; and everything will be fine.”

It is all about priorities. And apparently we – you and I, all of us – are God’s priorities. And if we make God our priority, and stand faithfully on God’s promise, then what have we to worry about?

It takes prayer and faith that God can handle all our fears, because worry is really a form of fear. And you know what? Three hundred and sixty-five times, the Bible says (in one form or another), “Fear not….”

That is one “Fear not” for every day of the year. That is good enough for me!

What? Me, worry?

‘Even in jail, God is in control’

By Cindy Taylor The Exodus Project, a faith-based housing unit at the Knox County Detention Center operating under Following Our Choices Unto Success (FOCUS) Group Prison Ministries, is changing lives one graduate at a time. The program teaches life skills to provide a new way of living that differs greatly from the lives most of the inmates had been living.

Exodus Project director and church coordinator for FOCUS Group Ministries Jeff Hunter founded the program in 2011.

“The recidivism rate in Tennessee (the rate by which someone returns back to jail or prison) is 65 percent, while the rate for those who have gone through the program during the two years the Exodus Project has existed is 17 percent,” said Hunter. “We believe in the transforma-

vid, a current student. “I now have direction in my life that will honor God and give me a fulfilled life.”

The Exodus Project serves all three state prisons in East Tennessee and five county jails. More than 400 men have entered the program, with 127 having graduated.

The Sisters of Mercy were on hand last week for the dedication of the heritage garden in the courtyard at Tennova. Pictured are sisters Mary Martha Naber, Margaret Turk, Janice Brink, Marie Moore and Albertine Paulus. During the dedication, Steve Diggs with Emerald Youth Foundation called the group and their work at the hospital a “gift from God.”

Week four with the Shopper interns

By Sara Barrett Week four with the Shopper News interns began with a sobering look at what life is like for Knoxville’s homeless population and how the folks at Knox Area Rescue Ministries offer hope and shelter.

Lunch was a mix of musical entertainment, chicken salad and cookies at the Knoxville Visitor’s Center, and the afternoon was filled with a crash course in all things theatrical at the Clarence Brown Theatre.

gave the interns a first-hand look at deadlines and the short notice you’ve got when working for a newspaper.

The Sisters of Mercy

By Joshua Mode The Sisters of Mercy heritage garden was dedicated to the group of nuns who founded the original St. Mary’s Hospital, later Mercy Medical Center.

Five members of Sisters of Mercy attended. To cover the event was a once-in-alifetime opportunity.

This all took place at Tennova (the former St. Mary’s Hospital) in the Physicians Regional Medical Center courtyard.

The event was a very

touching dedication to the sisters. Each was very kind in everything they did, even when everyone was asking for their picture together.

We had a great time hearing the stories of these caring ladies and what they experienced while working in a fast-paced hospital setting.

The garden had a beautiful fountain, colorful flowers, tables where folks can relax and eat, and a bronze bird bath that symbolized

the great importance of these founders.

The garden is to be used as a peaceful spot for staff, patients and family to relax.

These Godly women have touched the lives of a great many people in our region and should be very proud of the honor which they received. However, and true to their calling, they received the honor with humility and the humbleness for which they are known.

Knox Area Rescue Ministries Sister Mary Martha Naber says a few words of appreciation for the new Sisters of Mercy Heritage Garden in the courtyard at Tennova. Pictured at the event with Naber are Tennova CEO Mike Garfield and Becky Dodson. “This (garden) is a testament to the sisters and what they have done for this campus through dedication, compassionate care and prayer,” said Garfield.

More than just thrift stores

By Sarah Dixon While the interns stood speechless when Sue Renfro, marketing and communications manager at Knox Area Rescue Ministries, asked what we thought of K ARM. she thoroughly explained to us the importance and value of the work they do.

“We are extending overwhelming biblical hospitality,” Renfro says. The agency provides a safe place off the streets, and shelters more people than any hotel or motel in the area.

When I think of K ARM, I think of the thrift store.

Renfro explained that the thrift stores provide the community with quality goods, a place to donate items, over 200 jobs, and income to K ARM to pay for things like sheets, toiletries and food.

Speaking of food, it is the first thing on people’s minds when they come to K ARM. The dining hall looks and functions like a school cafeteria. A mix of staff and volunteers are depended upon to prepare, serve and clean up meals.

On the wall on the way to the kitchen, the verse Proverbs 22:9 is displayed: “Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.”

Sue Renfro provides an informative tour of the Knox Area Rescue Ministries. Photos by Laura Beeler A view of the men’s sleeping area at KARM. The room can hold up to 200 men.

Renfro said they always love donations, and that a list of monthly needs can found at karm.org/needs, or on the registry for the new men’s transitional dorm on the Bed, Bath and Beyond website.

K ARM shelters women, men and families. K ARM tries to keep families for as little time as possible. The hope is they can get back on their feet and out of the homeless shelter as soon as they can. They help women by putting them in what they call Hope Haven. With Jeremiah 31:3-4 on the wall, Hope Haven has a community room where the women can get to know each other. It has 103 beds.

Renfro said K ARM functions on a “three R” equation: Rescue + Relationships = Restoration.

The men have a big room that sleeps 200 on bunk beds, and they are building a short-term transitional facility for 44 men. It will be set up like a college dorm room where the men pay a small amount of rent and stay until they can move to the next step in the process.

“Basically,” Renfro said, “we are ending homelessness 44 men at a time.”

The impact K ARM has on the community grows with the number of home-

less people. With its effective Launch Point program that helps the homeless get back on their feet by setting goals and boosting self-esteem and the staff’s devotion to providing a safe place off the streets of Knoxville, they make a huge difference in the lives of many people.

K ARM could use the help of the community as well (that’s you) and welcomes volunteers, donations and prayers. After the tour, Sue Renfro definitely had my heart jumping at volunteer work.

Can’t wait for next week!

Dragon boat races at KARM

By Mitchell Zavadil Dragon boat racing is sport that requires skill, timing and strength. If one person is not giving their all, that team will not advance to the next round.

The event is sponsored

by Knox Area Rescue Ministries every year at the Cove at Concord Park.

This year there were 62 teams.

NHC’s team raised $7,000. Although we didn’t win, we had a wonderful time. With all of the teams raising money, $251,000 was raised overall.

Food and fun

On June 25, we ate lunch at the wonderful Knoxville Visitors Center for the Blue Plate Special. They have a beautiful facility with a variety of bands that come and perform while you eat your lunch.

One band was South Side River Revival. I spoke with

band members Ozzy Ospedale and Cory Ripely who have both been interested in musical careers since they were very young.

Ospedale and Ripely have been playing together for about eight years. They just started their band with Zach Barneson eight months ago after finding

him in a bar jamming to the guitar. This is Barneson’s first time playing in a band.

Ospedale said he wanted to come down to Knoxville all the way from Wisconsin specifically for the Blue Plate Special on WDVX. It’s an easier way to get the band out there because they performed live on the radio.

The Clarence Brown Theatre

A Day at the Theatre

By Zoe Risley The Shopper interns were given a tour of Clarence Brown Theatre by one of its artists in residence, David Alley, who teaches, acts and directs at CBT. Alley first told us the history of the theater and its founder, Clarence Leon Brown.

Brown was admitted to The University of Tennessee when he was just 15. He was fascinated by moving pictures and how they worked, so he moved to New Jersey where he eventually became French film director Maurice Tourneur’s assistant.

Brown went on to direct more than 50 films (some of which were Oscar® winners) and was nominated five times for best director at the Academy Awards but never won.

In November 1970, the first permanent theater on the UT campus was dedicated and named after Clarence Brown. It cost $2 million to build, of which $500,000 was donated by Mr. Brown. Now there is discussion of building a new theater that would cost $7080 million.

The Clarence Brown Theatre Company was formed in 1974 by British actor Sir Anthony Quayle and Ralph Allen.

Alley also talked about CBT today. One third of its production budget each season comes from a $12 million endowment left by Brown’s wife, Marian, in her will. CBT also has one of the best graduate acting programs in the country as well as a graduate design program for cos-

All the programs and classes at Clarence Brown are based on Brown’s quote “The mixing up of young actors and designers with first class professionals is manifestly the only right method of training future theater artists.”

Alley explained how most shows on the main stage are cast with mostly graduate students and professional actors, although CBT also likes to include members from the community in its shows. Its annual production of “A Christmas Carol” and an additional yearly musical accepts younger and older non-company members and non-UT students.

We got to tour the building starting with the main stage and auditorium.

There are 576 seats in the main auditorium. The stage is remarkable because the first 3 rows of seats can be lowered using a hydraulic lift so an orchestra pit can be put in.

There are trapdoors all

Other features in the building include prop, set and costume shops that can be used to teach students as well as to make things for productions.

There are 400-500 lights that can be used for each production. They are all taken down after each production, redesigned and restrung.

Our tour ended with a visit to the dressing rooms.

The men’s dressing room is almost double the size of the women’s. This is because acting was mostly a male profession when the theater was constructed.

The Legacy of Clarence Brown

By Madeline Lonas Tucked among the rolling hills on the University of Tennessee campus is the Clarence Brown Theatre, where students learn to become amazing and talented professionals.

The theater was built in 1970 to honor the legendary filmmaker Clarence Brown.

Brown was born in Clinton, Mass., in 1890. His parents were Larkin H. Brown, a loom-fixer, and Catherine A. Gaw. When Brown was young his parents moved to Tennessee where he graduated from Knoxville High School at age 15. He went on to graduate from the University of Tennessee at age 19 with degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering.

After surviving World War 1 as a fighter pilot in the U. S. Army Air Force, Brown moved to New Jersey to study with French director Maurice Tourneur at Peerless Productions in

Fort Lee. Apparently this is where Brown found his calling. He went on to direct and produce more than 50 widely-acclaimed full-length films starring Rudolph Valentino, Jimmy Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Clark Gable, among others.

Brown is one of three famous directors (along with Robert Altman and Alfred Hitchcock) to be nominated 5 times for Best Director at the Academy Awards and never win.

Brown retired around 1970 and died in 1987 at age 97. The legacy of Clarence Brown lives on with each and every performance on the stage of the Clarence Brown Theatre.

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Bridging the gap Summer program helps at-risk students

By Jake Mabe Sometimes all you need is an outstretched hand, a bridge, if you will, to help you reach your destination.

The Knox County Schools Summer Bridge Program is designed to do just that. At-risk 8th grade students give up eight weeks of their summer to participate in the program, which aims to qualify them academically for the 9th grade.

Karns High School assistant principal Mike Toth is the principal of the program at Halls High this summer. Most of his 33 students attend Halls Middle School, but a few are from Holston Middle. If successful, they will attend either Halls High or Gibbs High in the fall.

“When I talk to the individual students, I ask them why they are here,” Toth says. One student lost a parent this past year and gave up on school. Some have gotten into serious trouble. And a lot of them have a poor work ethic.”

Middle school administrators look at TCAP scores, particularly in reading, Language Arts and math, and the rate at which a student is passing classes. If they see multiple red flags, they recommend that the student take the Bridge program.

“It’s a year-long conversation.

They know it is coming and their parents know it is coming. The middle school team will determine whether they (the students) will go on to the 9th grade.”

The program is comprised of three components. During the month of June, students take an English/Language Arts class, a computer class and a study skills class.

“In the study skills class, we talk about the importance of an education. We talk about the dollar value of a high school education versus the dollar value of a job if you drop out.

And we go over the dollar value of some kind of post-secondary education, whether that’s college or a trade school. We also work on leadership skills and team building.”

After a week’s break for the Independence Day holiday, students begin a math class and computer programs to supplement the class, as well as continuing the study skills class. Three more students will enroll for the second half of the program.

Toth said the secret to the program’s success is the relationships that blossom in the smaller classroom setting.

Mike Toth chats with a student during the Summer Bridge Program at Halls High School, which helps at-risk 8th grade students qualify academically for the 9th grade. Photo by Ruth White “When you have a classroom of 25-30 kids, you can get lost. Here, in a classroom of 10-20 kids, you get more attention from the teacher and they get to know their principal. Research shows that having a relationship with the adults in the (school) building is as important as a teacher’s ability to teach and the student’s level of intelligence.”

Toth sees to it that those relationships continue throughout a student’s high school experience.

In addition to Halls staff members, Toth plans to ask a Gibbs High counselor or staff member to meet with students who will be going there in the fall, “to give them a familiar face and have that point of contact.”

Toth wants to reward his students at the end of the program, so he’s taking them to the Mountain Challenge, a ropes course at Maryville College.

He recently secured a $600 gift from

the Halls Business and Professional Association to pay for the trip and Beaver Dam Baptist Church is paying for lunch.

“These guys are giving up their whole summer and I wanted to give them something for successful completion. It gets them outside and it’s something that has meaning and purpose but is also fun. The leadership and problem-solving parts of it will put to use some of the things they learned this summer.”

Toth, who has a wife and five kids, is giving up his summer, too. He honestly says part of his motivation is the extra pay, but quickly adds that he wouldn’t be part of the Bridge program if he didn’t love kids. He’s participated in the program twice in the past three years.

Toth grew up in Paw Paw, Mich., earned a bachelor’s degree in vocal music from Michigan State and came to UT as a graduate assistant in the opera program. But, he took a couple of years off, started working at SunTrust bank, and met the principal at

Knox County Council PTA

Alcoa Middle School, who one day asked him, “When are you going to be a teacher?”

He joined the Lyndhurst Program at UT, which was designed for those choosing education as a second career, and earned his certification and a master’s degree in education. He has also earned an Ed.S from LMU. He taught second grade for seven years at Green Magnet School and has been an assistant principal at Karns High for three years.

Toth says the Summer Bridge Program gives students a sense of accountability.

“There’s a checkpoint. If they’re not going to do work, there’s a consequence for it.”

But, more than anything, it shows the students that someone cares about them.

“We set up a structure that’s going to help them. We tell them you have a face and a name and we know who you are and are going to be with you every step of the way. That’s what it’s all about.”

Stay safe on the Fourth

Wohlford promoted

By Rob Webb

Jeanne Wohlford is the new vice president of the Heart Lung Vascular Institute at UT Medical Center.

Wohlford, MBA, RN, FACHE, joined UT Medical Center in 2008 as director of cardiovascular and pulmonary services. During her tenure, she oversaw diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular and pulmonary services, as well as worked closely with medical staff leadership and medical center executives.

Prior to joining the medical center, Wohlford served for three years as health service line leader for cardiovascular services at St. Mary’s Health System in Knoxville. Other previous positions included director of cardiovascular services at Lewis-Gale Medical Center in Salem, Va., and manager of the Cardiac Treatment Center at Lynchburg General Hospital in Lynchburg, Va.

During the Fourth of July, we commemorate our nat ion’s independence with wonder f ul traditions c e le br ate d with family Webb and friends, including cookouts, wearing the stars and stripes, and fireworks displays.

Unfortunately, our paramedics, firefighters and EMTs see too many holidays ruined by unsafe use of barbecues, grills and fireworks.

More than half of the 11,000 injuries that occur every year from fireworks and grill fires happen within the first week of July, according to the National Fire Data Center.

Before heading off to a fireworks show, many Americans pull out their grills to cook burgers and hot dogs. Make sure that you follow some simple safety tips when lighting up the grill.

■ For gas grills, clean and check integrity of grill hoses before use. Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear blockage. Check all hoses for holes, leaks or sharp bends.

■ Move the gas hoses as far as possible from hot surfaces or install a heat shield.

■ If you do detect a gas

Staying on top of the food stream The way of the new homesteaders

By Libby Morgan

Two smart people have discovered the wonderfulness of East Tennessee and are crafting a new way of life for themselves.

Darren Farquhar and Tamara Bernadot moved from Wisconsin after each of them had had successful careers – Darren as a military corpsman, nurse and mobile hospital designer, and Tamara in natural products sales and marketing.

Their mutual desire to be in a warmer clime and to dive into living with as much control over their food sources as possible led them to search for a place to go back to the land, so to speak.

They found their spot on the northern edge of Sharps Chapel, on a 10acre hillside with a big eastern sky orientation, a

modern house, and plenty of open space for growing food.

“We love the friendly culture here,” says Farquhar (pronounced farkwar).

In a little over a year, they’ve established beehives, an orchard, big garden plots, a cornfield and an herb garden. They’ve become poultry farmers, and just last week, proud owners of two hogs.

Two greenhouses are made with a simple but effective design, out behind the workshop that appears from the outside to be a small second home, complete with a front porch.

Seems nothing is daunting for them, including processing their own chickens.

One-hundred and ninety pounds of it went in the freezer recently.

“All this is a labor of love for us,” says Farquhar. “We have a great time growing everything. We’re getting our vineyard started with

muscadines, catawbas and concords.”

Tamara and Darren have become fast friends with Tom and Faye Hardin of Hardin’s Mountain Organics on Loyston Road. Along the way Bernadot created a Facebook page for them, and the Sharps Chapel farm is an outlet for Hardin’s heirloom tomato plants.

“I really enjoy helping small startups and have taught classes in online marketing, which I hope to do here at some point,” says Bernadot.

They’re growing all of the Hardin’s varieties of tomatoes, plus many more, and have them marked so they can discover the different characteristics of

leak, disconnect immediately and keep open flames away from grill.

■ Never use a gas or charcoal grill indoors. Charcoal burns CO2 gases, which can be harmful in enclosed spaces. Ensure the charcoal is completely extinguished before moving it indoors.

Remember: fireworks are illegal to buy, sell, use or store in Knox County. Fireworks are unpredictable explosives that can dangerously malfunction through improper usage, storage or manufacturer defects.

Never let children use fireworks – even sparklers.

Sparklers can burn up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and catch clothes on fire or cause eye damage. If you live outside the county, store fireworks in a cool, dry location. If you do live in the county, fireworks are illegal to own – even if you don’t use them.

The best way to safely enjoy fireworks this holiday is to take advantage of one of the many local professional shows. The city of Knoxville hosts a free annual Festival on the Fourth at World’s Fair Park with an Independence Day concert from the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. and a spectacular fireworks show at 9:35 p.m.

Keep safety in mind this Fourth of July, and have a wonderful Independence Day!

size, shape and color.

“I never knew there was a white tomato,” says Bernadot.

Kale is coming in in spades, and Bernadot shared a kale chips recipe she loves: Remove the stem, cut or tear the kale leaves in two-inch pieces, toss them in oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake them on a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes or until they’re crispy.

I attest: Delicious.

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District Seeks Applicants For Nomination to its Board of Commissioners Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is now accepting applications for possible nomination as a member of the HPUD Board of Commissioners. HPUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Commissioners is comprised of three commissioners, who are each appointed by the Knox County Mayor for a staggered four-year term from a list of three nominees selected by the current HPUD Board of Commissioners.

HPUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Commissioners is vested with the general power and authority over the utility district, which is managed and operated on a day-to-day basis by the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president/chief executive officer and who has responsibility and oversight for the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees and operations. Besides selecting the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president/chief executive officer, duties of the HPUD Board of Commissioners include attending all regular monthly meetings and, when called, special meetings of the HPUD Board of Commissioners, adopting an annual budget for the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations, setting all rates for water and wastewater services provided by the utility district, and establishing and approving all rules, regulations, policies and procedures necessary for the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations.

An HPUD Commissioner must also attend a minimum number of certified training hours during his or her appointed term as required by state law.

HPUD is one of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest utility districts, which are treated as governmental entities under state law.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Spotlight on summer food safety Picnics, barbecues and poolside parties are part of summer holiday fun.

While warmer weather is ideal for outdoor gatherings, it also offers the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply in food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking and eating away from the kitchen.

Every year about 76 million Americans get sick from eating contaminated food.

Although the usual result is a few hours or days of tummy troubles, infections can be serious. Five thousand people in the United States die each year from foodborne illness. Harmful bacteria are the most common cause.

Keep cool with Kamut salad Kamut (K-Moot) is a mild-tasting, chewy grain that tastes both nutty and buttery. A relative of wheat and spelt, Kamut is a complete protein containing proteins similar to those in animal foods. Because Kamut is larger than rice or wheat, it takes longer to cook. Cooked Kamut can be frozen for future use. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tasty summer salad featuring Kamut and some favorite veggies and berries.

5,000 Americans die each year from foodborne illness.

Good practices pay off Much of the time, such food-related infections can be prevented by following a few food safety precautions. Uncooked meat, poultry and seafood are often loaded with bacteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avoiding cross-contamination is the biggest thing,â&#x20AC;? advises Beth Booker, Fort Sanders Regional Clinical Dietitian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep uncooked meats refrigerated and securely wrapped in plastic bags and away from other foods. Thaw or marinate them in the refrigerator, not on the counter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Use a separate cutting board for raw foods. â&#x2013; Check that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooked to a safe temperature with a food thermometer. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put cooked food back on the same plate that held raw food unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve washed it ďŹ rst. â&#x2013; Wash hands with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds before and after handling these raw foods. â&#x2013; Use clean cutting boards, utensils, dishes and countertops, and wash after each food-prep task.

Keep bacteria in check Buy unblemished fruits and vegetables, and refrigerate perishable produce. To reduce bacteria, rinse under running water and cut away any areas that are

Ingredients 1 cup Kamut grains 4 cups water 1 cup edamame, steamed per package instructions 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins 1/2 cup diced sweet red peppers 1/4 cup reduced-fat feta crumbles 1/2 cup diced cucumber Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste 1/2 to 3/4 cup vinaigrette salad dressing of choice Salad greens (optional)

damaged or bruised. Dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep cold food cold and hot food hot,â&#x20AC;? explains Booker. To prevent bacteria from growing in food, refrigerate or use ice or gel packs in coolers to keep cold foods 40 degrees or below. Keep hot foods at least 140 degrees or warmer. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let food sit

out for more than two hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cut that time in half if the air temperature is more than 90 degrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your normal kitchen safety rules lapse just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking or serving outdoors,â&#x20AC;? warns Booker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a few precautions, you can avoid having food poisoning ruin your picnic.â&#x20AC;?

Directions Cook the Kamut as you would rice, lengthening the cooking time to about 1 1/2 hours (or 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Check the grains frequently until it tastes chewy, but is cooked all the way through. Pour off any liquid and cool the grains to slightly warm temperature.

Toss the grains with the remaining ingredients. Serve plain or on a bed of mixed greens. Serves 6-8 as a main dish salad.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blow your holiday with a ďŹ rework injury!

Thousands of Americans are injured each year in incidents associated with ďŹ reworks, according to the National Council of Fireworks Safety. Most of these injuries occur during the Fourth of July holiday and include serious burns, loss of ďŹ ngers and blindness. Though the most disabling injuries occur with illegal ďŹ recrackers, such as M-80s, the majority of injuries are caused by bottle rockets, sparklers and Roman candles.

Staying safe Viewing public displays handled by professionals is the safest way to enjoy ďŹ reworks on the Fourth of July or any other day. Even then, keep a safe distance away.

If you plan to celebrate the holiday with your own ďŹ reworks, these tips can help prevent injuries: â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let children play with the ďŹ reworks. â&#x2013; Never place any part of your body over a ďŹ reworks device. â&#x2013; Wear safety goggles to protect the eyes from ďŹ&#x201A;ying sparks or debris when handling ďŹ reworks. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use bottle rockets. Their ďŹ&#x201A;ight paths are erratic and rocket launchers sometimes explode. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume alcohol when using ďŹ reworks. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-light ďŹ reworks that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work properly. â&#x2013; Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of malfunction or ďŹ re. â&#x2013; Be sure other people are out of range before lighting ďŹ reworks. â&#x2013; Follow label directions. â&#x2013; Ignite ďŹ reworks outdoors. â&#x2013; Light only one at a time.

U.S. hospital emergency departments treated an estimated 8,600 people â&#x2013; Buy from reliable ďŹ reworks sellers. for fireworks-related injuries in 2010. Seventy-three percent of these injuries â&#x2013; Never carry ďŹ reworks in your pocket. happened between June 18 and July 18.

Got love?

By Carol Zinavage

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an awful day. One of those days when nothing goes right.

To add to your misery, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say the paper is full of bad news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; violence, anger, hatred in all corners of the globe.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just about thrown in the towel on the human race, given your tired, stressed state.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that will restore your faith.

Go to this website: http:// www.sbret.com/. Now, click on the link titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Success Storiesâ&#x20AC;? and look at the pictures.

See? You feel better, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?

Small Breed Rescue of East Tennessee (SBRET) helps notso-big dogs find loving homes.

These little guys have endured all kinds of hard knocks.

SBRET works to match them up with loving caregivers. The website is filled with pictures of happy families and their grateful companions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you see the need and

Adoption

the difference having a foster network and home can make, it is really hard to turn away,â&#x20AC;? says SBRET board member Karen Marquand of her work with shelter dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone can do something to help the homeless pet population in their area by fostering, adopting, volunteering, advocating or educating. There is a niche for everyone!â&#x20AC;?

So far this year, SBRET has found forever homes for 100 dogs, thanks to much tireless work and dedication. But of course the need continues; just the other day they took in five more, and they always have 35 dogs in their care.

One of the success stories listed on the SBRET website is Fountain City resident Elizabeth Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had 11 rescued dogs all told in her life. Currently, she and her boyfriend, Russ Culpepper, care for six of them in two different households. You could say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooked.

Says Nelson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Russ and I

quality purebred dog whose traits are well-described in every dog book? You will not. Will you get a cuddly puppy with no bad habits or fears to overcome? You will not. Will you get a loving little creature, desperate for a kind word, a safe home and good food? You will.â&#x20AC;?

She points out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;rescued dogs take patience,â&#x20AC;? but considers herself, and all of us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stewards of this earth.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our duty to protect those creatures that cannot protect themselves. They did not ask for bad treatment. They only ask for kindness.â&#x20AC;?

Marquand, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with SBRET since 2005, says that the organization will mark its 10 year anniversary this fall with a reunion of past adopters and their dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a celebration that will be!â&#x20AC;? she says in joyful anticipation.

So, some of you will read this story with pleasure and take comfort in the fact that there are such caring folks in the world. Some will go look at the wonderful pictures on the website, and then go on with

Elizabeth Nelson and Russ Culpepper with some of their rescued dogs: Holly, Poppleton and Pansy. Photo by Kathleen Bailey your day.

Some of you, however, have been thinking about adopting a shelter dog, right? Well, this article is for you. Because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one thing better than looking at pictures of them with their new families, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having one yourself.

stumbled into rescuing dogs with Rosemary, who was rescued from a nasty place in Roane County. Along came Pansy, rescued from an abusive situation in Union County. We added Sonja, who had been adopted and returned twice before coming to us.
