KCS to get $1.2 million grant Knox County Schools has been chosen for a $1.2 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but Sandra Clark ponders how much more upheaval that will buy.

Smith not running Knox County Commissioner R. Larry Smith says he’s not a candidate for trustee, not now or in 2014. “I was outspoken during the time the trustee (John Duncan) was under investigation, but not because I wanted his job,” said Smith. “I think it’s absurd that county employees could get $3,000 every year for eight hours of continuing education, and it’s even more so when they have someone else take their tests.” Duncan III resigned last week after pleading guilty to official misconduct. Smith runs an insurance agency and owns commercial rental property in Halls and Fountain City. – S. Clark

Burchett to visit Fountain City Fountain City Business and Professional Association will host Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, in the fellowship hall of Central Baptist Church on Broadway. Everyone is invited. Lunch is $10 while supplies last. Info: president@ fountaincitybusiness.com/.

Free dog wash set for Saturday Celebrities will lend a hand from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 13, when the Ogle, Elrod and Baril law firm sponsors the third annual free dog wash in the parking area at Food City in Hardin Valley. While there is no charge for the wash, dog owners are asked to contribute to the Great Dane rescue organization. Jason Baril says the first dog wash raised $3,000 and last year’s event, when more than 500 dogs were washed, brought in $5,700. Veterinarians will perform additional services, including nail trimming and rabies shots at half-price. Info: 546-1111.

Daylily explosion By Cindy Taylor Taylo lor or

O Opening i d day off th the annuall Oakes Daylily Festival brought a mix of clouds, sun and occasional rain showers – but this did not deter the travelers who had come for the colorful outdoor show. Day two brought clearer skies and thousands of flower gazers of all ages. Ken Oakes is a primary family member at the festival. “With all the rain we’ve had this spring the daylilies probably look as good as they ever have,” he said. “Daylilies are an easy plant to grow and need very little care. Sun is better but they will still do well in shade.” Ken said his favorite would be the last one he looked at on a given day. Grandfather Bill Oakes did some hybridizing in his day, but the farm doesn’t do much of that anymore. Rows and rows of daylilies reached for the sky with blooms from coral to purple, yellow to red. Downhome music echoed across the grounds and folks were treated to watermelon and lemonade. All those who entered the gates could take home a free daylily – if they were willing to wait in line. Most were. And that’s a lot of daylilies to give away each year. Union County Lions Club was onsite with Italian ice and the kids’ area was filled with fun ac-

Linda Hutchinson traveled from Kalamazoo, Mich., to admire the daylilies with Aurora Bull of Union County. tivities and a bounce house. The farm boasts row after row of annuals and perennials for purchase plus a lineup of daylilies for sale. “I have never seen anything so beautiful,” exclaimed one visitor.

Red Volunteer was one of the award-winning daylilies hybridized by Oakes Farm patriarch Bill Oakes.

Blueway for Beaver Creek By Sandra Clark A 6-mile greenway on water called a blueway is being proposed along Beaver Creek in Karns. County officials will be at the Karns Community Center, 7708 Oak Ridge Highway, from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, to present the plan and seek input. Ultimately the blueway could extend for some 40 creek miles from Clayton Park in Halls to Melton Hill

Park with takeout points at 4- to 10-mile intervals. The first phase will be built from the Legacy Parks Foundation’s park on Harrell Road to the Karns Sports Park, said Heath Haun, an employee in the stormwater division of Knox County’s Engineering and Public Works Department. “This is a stormwater demonstration project,” said Haun, and expansion

will depend on how many people use it and its effects on flood control. “The blueway will make it easier for families and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy Beaver Creek,” a public waterway that begins and ends within Knox County. “Folks can go as a complete novice with a life jacket and be safe.” Beaver Creek is essentially flat with an average water depth of two feet,

Haun said. The creek can be 4- to 6-feet deep, while riffles are as shallow as two inches. “There a canoeist or kayaker would just “step a foot out and step back in.” To qualify as a blueway in Knox County, the body must be a “water of the state.” It must have public access along with scenic and/or recreational value. It must be navigable by small watercraft and there must be no prohibition

against water contact. Haun said debris jams will be removed and some bank stabilization may occur later in the demonstration project. “With regular use and maintenance of the blueway, jams that contribute to flooding can be cleared efficiently. “And it’s a nice way to link the communities of Halls, Powell, Karns, Solway and Hardin Valley.” Info: 215-4750.

No business like jail business By Betty Bean

County Commissioner Amy Broyles walked a fine line while moderating a meeting with Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and some 100 supporters of Knoxville’s immigrant community. The topic was the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287 (g) program, which Jones could decide to adopt this month. Jones and Captain Terry Wilshire, who directs the intake center and Jimmy “J.J.” Jones will supervise 287(g), said only corrections officers Both said it will benand an ICE supervisor will participate in the program. efit all concerned, because

suspects will be allowed to post bond while awaiting deportation hearings in Louisiana or Memphis, rather than waiting out the time in jail. Jones also promised that his officers will not “profile” people on the street. Broyles, one of two Democrats on the commission, said she was there to be a neutral moderator and to allow an open exchange of ideas. She had many supporters in the audience, all of whom oppose 287 (g), described as “One of ICE’s top partnership initiatives, (which) allows a state and local law enforce-

The state or local entity receives delegated authority for immigration enforcement within their jurisdiction.” Members of the audience were unconvinced that deputizing jailers as ICE officers is a good idea.

Repurposing history for fun Steampunk features Corey creations teaching beginning Dewey Decimal System. He had the kids act out a Russian folk tale about a big turnip, The Little Red Hen, and a silly twist on The Three Little Pigs, with fish as the pigs and a big bad shark for the wolf. All with balloon sculptures as props. Also known as Dr. DillyDally, Claunch was a hit with kids and adults alike.

Belly dancers, aerial silks artists, fire dancers and hula hoop experts added to the festive air. Make that the festive aire. Steampunk Carnivale was held under the interstate near Fifth Avenue. Surreal echoes and vibrations of the traffic gyrated with the dancers and the steampunk music. Late in the evening, after the carnivale morphed into 18-and-over-only status, a

I would venture to say that there have never been any real Tibetan monks in Fountain City, but here they come. The Twenty First Century Christians Sun day school class at Fountain City United Methodist is hosting the monkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit on July 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the church. Class member Ruth McLeod explains: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event will further our mission to reach out to other faiths and cultures to help our community build friendship and celebrate diversity.â&#x20AC;? The monks will bring travel information, perform a yak dance, and share their culture. Their visit to Fountain City will be during the three days they will be creating a mandala at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. The opening ceremony to begin the mandala is on July 14 at 1:20 p.m. and the art, depicting the world and its common humanity, will be done by hand with colored sand. The final ceremony at TVUUC is Wednesday, July 17, at 5:30 p.m., when the mandala will be swept up, placed in a vessel, then poured into moving water. This is a symbolic ritual to illustrate the impermanence of all phenomena.

Safety Center task force formed U.S. District Judge Tom Phillips has asked city and county officials to form a task force to study ways to relieve jail overcrowding, and the long-simmering plan to build a safety center to handle non-violent mentally ill inmates could be the solution. One tough issue is whether city taxpayers should contribute financially to the project in addition to the county taxes they already pay. “The concept has some

appeal to us as something to pursue, but it’s not fleshed out enough yet,” said Bill Lyons, policy director for Mayor Madeline Rogero. “What happens if somebody is dropped off and is there a couple of days with addiction problems? A couple of days stay isn’t going to do much. Are we really helping anything by doing that? We just need to flesh out exactly what the model is and how it would work.” County Mayor Tim Burchett has reservations, as well: “We put a million bucks in the budget for it, if it’s feasible. I just want to make sure it’s not just a drunk tank. I want it for segregating the mentally ill population, to get an early diagnosis and not put them in jail.”

The swim What do you do when you find out your grandmother has cancer?

Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS Well, I took a swim. When I heard the news, I was standing in the front yard of the cabin my greatuncle Ted Mabe built on the banks of Norris Lake in the 1950s. Ironic, given that I had spent happy afternoons of youth there with Lydia (pronounced LIE-dah) Beeler Mabe. What a remarkable woman is my paternal grandmother. Forced to leave her Sharps Chapel home when TVA created Norris Lake, she moved to Knox County with her family and attended Gibbs High School. Somewhere along the way she met

Lydia Mabe and married my grandfather Kenneth Mabe. When he died in 1988, Mamaw didn’t miss a beat. She learned to drive. She mowed the yard. She lived by herself for 25 years, watching television, working crossword puzzles, doing everything but wasting away. Nearly 89 years young, her memory is often better than mine. She is a night owl, so I’ll call her after 11 p.m. We talk family history, Halls gossip,

catch up on relatives and generally stay away from politics. My grandmother, you see, is an FDR Democrat. It’s OK. She saw the New Deal help others firsthand. And she doesn’t much care for Obama. It’s funny the things you remember. Singing gospel music for my grandparents and my late Aunt Mossie. Sunday dinners that would make – dare I say it? – Paula Deen green with envy. Homemade apple butter so good the memory makes my mouth moisten. The sounds of “Guiding Light” wafting into the bedroom in the early afternoon. Oh, where does the time go? All this, and heaven too, flashed through my mind as I took my swim. I had wanted to make that journey for more than 20 years, swimming from one bank to another and back. I did it. Don’t ask me why, but swimming in that blue-green water, for about 30 minutes as the sun set on a Sunday afternoon was like being dipped into magic waters. As I returned to the cabin and scratched mosquito bites, wiping the wet away,

I glanced over to the DVDs I had brought for my vacation. With heartbreaking irony, one of them was “The Shootist,” John Wayne’s final film, in which he plays an aging gunfighter dying of cancer. I didn’t have the heart to watch it. But the line I can quote from memory is spoken by Jimmy Stewart, when he tells the Duke he’s going to die. “Every few days I have to tell a man or a woman something I don’t want to. I’ve been practicing medicine for 29 years, and I still don’t know how to do it well.” And though I’m crowding in on middle age now, I still don’t know how to take it well. So, I cut my vacation short and came to work. Because that’s what I figure someone should do. When hard news hits, hit the plow. My grandmother may live another two months or another 20 years. I don’t know. But I do know this. I love Lydia Beeler Mabe with all of my heart. And I’m glad I took that swim. Visit Jake Mabe online at jakemabe. blogspot.com.

Yet more change for Knox County Schools How much change will $1.2 million buy? And how much more change can Knox County Schools stand?

Sandra Clark

Today Dr. Jim McIntyre will announce a $1.2 million grant from the Bill and

Melinda Gates Foundation (Monday, July 8, 4 p.m. at the AJ Building). He will ask the school board for a 30 percent match to hire a Boston-based firm, The Parthenon Group, to study resource allocation in the school system. “Resource allocation?” you ask. For those of us who don’t get the big words, McIntyre will simplify: We want to do more of what works, and stop what’s not working. The contract and supporting documents are

on the KCS website. But you’ve gotta drill. A line that jumped out: “To develop a process that continuously re-evaluates the highest and best use of resources.” Hmmm. Doesn’t sound very pedagogic. Can you make a case for athletics? For band, art or drama? If your technology is right, can you even make a case for a teacher with 25 kids all day in a classroom? I don’t know the answers, but I’m starting to figure out the questions. Come on

along. This week’s meetings: Monday, 4 p.m., announcement of grant; 5 p.m., board workshop; Wednesday, 5 p.m., school board meeting for grant approval. Meanwhile, principals like Ken Dunlap (Powell), Lynn Hill (Gibbs) and Kathy Duggan (Adrian Burnett) have been sent to other schools. We cannot measure and manage our way to success. Creativity is our strength. Microsoft was not built by bean counters –even Boston baked bean counters.

How about a mulligan on the ‘08 referendum There’s a blank space on Knox County’s website in the spot that used to be occupied by the county’s banker. Soon, Knox County Commission will begin the process of appointing a new trustee to serve in place of John J. Duncan III (“Triple Sticks” to his friends), the first-term elected trustee who last week entered a guilty plea to official misconduct and resigned while his anguished parents watched. The trustee is entrusted with collecting and depositing property tax revenues as well as state and federal funds allotted to the county. Integrity is high on the list of job requirements, and the young trustee made a great initial impression by hiring an in-house attorney to collect delinquent taxes instead of awarding the job as a fat political plum to a supporter in private practice.

Betty Bean Despite the humiliation visited on the proud Duncan family, JDIII’s adjudicated misdeeds involve relatively small sums of money and lying to investigators, for which he is unlikely to serve jail time and could become eligible for judicial diversion when he completes his probation (reports of poor job performance and absenteeism are not subject to criminal penalty). Despite the embarrassment, Duncan is better off than his predecessor Mike Lowe and three of Lowe’s employees who are awaiting trial on multiple counts of felony theft after a lengthy investigation uncovered evidence of phantom employees and improper purchas-

es. A grand jury investigated Lowe’s office for more than a year before handing down indictments. The judge who will preside over the case labeled it extremely complex and set trial dates for mid2014. In 2010, Knox County Law Director Bill Lockett resigned from office and pleaded guilty to bilking his former law firm out of more than $60,000 in client fees. He admitted failing to report this money to the Internal Revenue Service and asking former clients for loans which he had not repaid. The state Board of Professional Responsibility suspended his law license in October 2010. Meanwhile, the Knoxville law director, Charles Swanson, enjoys a high degree of respect and the city’s finance director, Jim York, has managed to collect and invest tax money while not only remaining scandal-

Opponents of the measure got a boost from the ballot summary, which asked voters if they wanted to “take away from the people the ability to vote” and was written by Bill Lockett. Do-over, anybody?

The day the Civil War came to Knoxville

ment 25 miles to the east of his approach route. The diversion worked and compelled Buckner to focus attention to the north of Knoxville as Sanders approached from the south. Sanders found the railroad bridge at Loudon too well guarded and rode to Lenoir’s Station (later Lenoir City), where he quickly burned the depot, captured horses and mules, and destroyed ordnance supplies, the telegraph line and the tracks in the area. That same evening, June 19, he set out for Knoxville, tearing up track along the way. With Buckner’s troops concentrated north of Knoxville near Clinton, Col. R.C. Trigg, who was temporarily in command, called for citizen volunteers. About 200 “persons, citizens and convalescent soldiers” reported for duty. Half a dozen smoothbore 6-pounder guns were distributed on the hills just outside town – Summit Hill, McGee’s Hill and Temperance Hill. He deployed the men and the guns on modest rapidly constructed parapets and behind cotton bales. At dawn on the 20th, Sanders approached from the north along the Tazewell Road, having left one regiment west of town to skirmish and distract the Confederates. Heavy skirmishing accompanied Sanders cautious approach and he stopped his advance when he noticed barricaded streets and stiff resistance. Among those Confederates at the barricade near the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Summit Hill was 38-year-old Capt. Pleasant Miller McClung, a member of the home guard. He was born to Charles Jr. and Malvina McClung on Aug. 19, 1824, in Knoxville, the great-

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin I recall a day of great excitement when we learned that the enemy was coming sure enough. … There were but few soldiers about as almost all had been sent to Murfreesboro. Hastily, on the summit, where the Catholic church now stands, we made some slight breastworks of a few cotton bales, and brought a small gun, a four or six pounder, there. There were no houses on the summit then. The infantry, at “double quick,” hurried through the streets to form a line of battle on “reservoir hill,” out of town then. And thus we waited but a short while, when from the two hills could be seen a small body of the enemy’s cavalry over the face of the hill where Fifth Avenue is now located, moving among the trees. There were no houses then, but some timber, which partially concealed the troops. Capt. McClung had charge of the gun on the summit. Soon we saw that the enemy had a gun, which they brought out into an open space and turned upon us. Capt. McClung replied with good effect. Only a few shots were fired, and the enemy hurried on at a gallop, leaving a dead horse or two. If any of their men were killed or wounded, they carried them away. One of their shots, perhaps the first, passed

between two of our cot- that effort. Then, when graduate, Col. William P. ton bales, and mortally Gen. John Hunt Morgan Sanders, who had fought wounded Capt. McClung, launched his Confederate bravely at Williamsburg to the great grief of all the raid through Kentucky and Antietam. Sanders left town. The enemy moved and into Indiana and Mt.

Dr. David Sullins, former minister of Church Street Methodist Church and founder of Sullins College in Southwest Virginia, supplied that vivid description of the day the Civil War came to Knoxville in his “Recollections of an Old Man (Seventy Years in Dixie, 18271897)” (1910). The Confederates had occupied Knoxville since early in the war but Gen. Simon B. Buckner had weakened his defenses by sending troops to assist in Middle Tennessee. Gen. u m n Pleasant M.

grandson of both William Blount, the governor of the Southwest Territory during Tennessee’s prestatehood years, and of James White, the founder of Knoxville. At an early age Pleasant was deprived of both of his parents and went to live in Blount Mansion with the family of his uncle, Col. Matt McClung. On that fateful June 20, 1863, Capt. Pleasant M. McClung, leading a company of citizen volunteers, saw his men duck for cover at the f lash of the Union guns and cried out, “Don’t be afraid – there’s no danger!” He was instantly hit. As he lay dying, he prayed for “forgiveness for those who killed me.” Pleasant McClung was survived by his wife, the former Mary A.C. McClung, whom he had married on April 15, 1846. They were parents to four daughters: Maria, Eliza, Mary and Sallie. He was interred in Old Gray Cemetery. After about an hour and a half, the Knoxville skirmish ended and Sanders departed for Strawberry Plains, where he burned the 1,600-foot-long bridge and, later, the 300-foot railroad bridge at Mossy Creek (Jefferson City). After an arduous return march north to Kentucky, Sanders reported to Gen. Burnside. He had traveled 250 miles in 10 days, destroyed 50 miles of railroad track and 3,000 feet of bridges, captured 15 artillery pieces and 2,500 small arms, destroyed a gun factory and captured and paroled 461 Confederates. His casualties were two killed, four wounded and 13 missing. He had made Civil War history having, according to Burnside, completed “one of the boldest raids of the war.”

And there you have it, a goal so obvious an 18-yearold from another land can grasp it and feel it and wonder how long it will take to get there from here. It wasn’t so long ago that Tennessee faithful were fretting and fussing when Phillip Fulmer teams won only nine or 10 a year and almost Marvin always went bowling. West Losses to the big boys and no championships for much too long led to serious aggravation or perhaps “They’re trying to get depression and that led to the program back to what it a decline in popcorn sales used to be … they’re trying and empty seats at Neyland to bring back the winning Stadium. Well, now we know Dr. tradition.”

Mike Hamilton’s cure was worse than the sickness. Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley. Spare me. The young visitor was no doubt told that energetic and exciting Butch Jones has charted a remedial course in the correct direction. The uphill trip will be in segments. First, the Volunteers must regain respectability. You do recall Southeastern Conference coaches complaining that Tennessee is a marshmallow on the Alabama schedule, a tasty, toasted treat for each October. They said the game is better than an open date

because a victory over the Vols still sounds fairly good to the uninformed and is good for a minor boost in the polls and an easy step toward another national crown. Indeed, it is embarrassing to be anybody’s Akron or Troy, a breather between challenges, a date to relish instead of dread. Here is the problem nobody mentioned to C.J. Hampton: Assuming teams out front do not shift into neutral and try to coast home, catching them requires more, lots more, of the things they already have. Recruiting better than

Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Vanderbilt would be a start. Working harder might help. Playing smarter (11 at a time) could be a factor. On the drawing board, the current Volunteers are several notches short of championship contention. Here it is July and we don’t know who will be the quarterback. Logic says Justin Worley because he has had his feet wet. That there are other choices sends a different message. Oregon may not even care. Does Tennessee have one dependable receiver? It needs four. Is there a lockdown corner? Can the linebackers run fast enough? At this moment, there are more

Soul food

tea, for example. Iced tea has sugar in it. And Southern cornbread never, never, ever has sugar in it. Never. Soul food is aptly named, and it has nothing to do with the color of one’s skin. Soul food is food with meaning. That meaning derives from many aspects of cooking. The story lives in legend and song of the woman who, every Easter, cut off the end of the ham before she put in the pot to bake. Her husband asked her why, and she replied, “Because that’s how my mother does it.” So the husband went to the source, and asked his mother-in-law, “Why do you

cut off the end of the Easter ham before you put it in the pot?” “Because my pot is too small for the ham,” she responded. Sounds reasonable to me. I like square cornbread. Even though I have a small, round cast iron skillet that is perfect for cornbread for two, I frequently make it in my square pan. There is a perfectly good reason for that habit. When I was a little girl, my grandfather saw to it that I got the corner piece of the cornbread. In fact, Papa saw to it that I got the first corner piece. M-mmm. I can still taste that cornbread. Bread of heaven, indeed! Nanny

never measured anything. She put some baking powder into the palm of her hand. The same with salt and soda. No sugar. She said cornbread with sugar in it was “Yankee cornbread.” Enough said. End of discussion. There are recipes in my Mother’s head that I can’t retrieve anymore, because she doesn’t remember. I have searched through her cookbooks, because I know that hidden somewhere in there is the recipe for Apple Pudding. (Nanny was the source of that one too!) I can’t find it. And let me tell you, my world is a sadder place

without Apple Pudding! When my husband and I lived and worked at “The Home,” a residential treatment center for teenagers in Gettysburg, we were told never, ever to withhold food from the boys. You can (or maybe you can’t) imagine how much food 13-year-old boys can put away. However, our executive director said frequently, “Food is love. That is something you learn at your mother’s breast. Don’t deny food to these boys who have known so little love!” So you see, even with manna in the wilderness, it is not the food, but the love behind it, that makes it soul food.

Back to what it used to be Meridian, Miss., defensive back C.J. Hampton visited Tennessee as a prospective recruit and went away with an interesting first impression.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. (Exodus 16: 4 NRSV) Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. (Matthew 6: 25b-26 NRSV) Those of us who live in the South might take exception to Jesus’ claim that life is more than food. We take food seriously in the South.

questions than answers. I do believe these Volunteers have recaptured the spirit of winning football. The labor report is very encouraging. Jones’ vision for greatness is contagious. I am guessing the team will give what it has, such as it is. That will be a baby step toward improvement. It gets tougher when you go on the road and line up against men who are also wellcoached and believe they are significantly better. The only neutralizer is to knock hell out of ’em so they begin to wonder. After that, sometime in the future, it will be possible for Tennessee to take a couple of additional steps back toward the good, old days. (Marvin West invites reader reaction.

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. HPUD serves water and wastewater service to over 29,075 customers in the north Knox County area (including portions of Union County and Anderson County) with an operating budget in excess of $29.1 million for its most recent fiscal year and a current capital budget in excess of $12.8 million. To apply for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners, you must be at least 25 years old and either an HPUD customer within the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries or reside within the utility districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries. Applications for possible nomination to the HPUD Board of Commissioners may be obtained at HPUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main office at 3745 Cunningham Rd Knoxville, Tennessee 37918; by calling HPUD at 865-922-7547; on HPUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site www.hpud.org; or by fax request at 865-922-8428. Completed applications must be returned to HPUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main office no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, July 15, 2013. EOE.

Week five with the Shopper interns By Sara Barrett The Shopper News interns were sent through security checks at the City/County Building last week before a lighthearted conversation with Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and his “number two” guy, Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs. Former Trustee John Duncan had walked through the lobby just minutes before to be booked. He pled guilty to official misconduct and resigned while we visited the courthouse. Afterward, the interns headed upstairs for

a meet and greet with Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and a quick photo of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett. Conversation during lunch at Chesapeake’s took a somber turn when Sonja DuBois told the group about her experiences as a Hidden Child during the Holocaust. After hiking up to Market Square to see the Women’s Suffrage Memorial, the interns met family law attorney Wanda Sobieski, one of the folks responsible for the monument. It was a good day.

Knox County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs

Knox County Sheriff’s Office Shopper interns were surprised to find out how many inmates local jails can hold. “We can house anywhere from 1200-1250 inmates a day,” said Chief Deputy Eddie Biggs. The county’s three jails hold criminals from all 508 square miles of Knox County. In addition to patrol cars, there is also an aviation unit and a marine unit. Support services from the Sheriff’s office include Life Services (previously the DARE program for students), and Senior Citizens Awareness Network (SCAN), which is used to visit and help track Alzheimer’s patients who may get lost. “We take care of the hardened criminals, but we also do another job,” said

Biggs. “We take care of our citizens.” The Sheriff’s Office has around 1,100 employees and last year alone, more than 600,000 miles were driven on patrol. One intern asked if that was one car. “No,” said Biggs. It was the entire fleet. After wrapping up with Biggs, the interns (literally) ran into Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones in the hallway. The sheriff told the group he plans to run for office again in 2014. Jones said at the end of his next term as sheriff, he will have served in law enforcement for 38 years. “And that’s long enough for one person to serve in any job,” he said. He invited the interns to join him in Panama City, Fla., for a round of golf in 2019. Several made a note.

Next week … The Shopper interns continue their Tuesday journeys with lunch at the top of the Sunsphere, a visit to Moxley Carmichael public relations firm and a tour of the old Miller’s store which KUB renovated for its headquarters. After lunch, UT’s Jimmy Stanton promises a tour of the football locker room at Neyland Stadium. We may even catch a glimpse of Butch Jones, who is currently rebuilding the team brick by brick.

Many people only know Madeline Rogero as the first female mayor of Knoxville, but I got to sit down and have a Madeline-to-Madeline talk with this very well-known, local celebrity. Mayor Rogero isn’t a Knoxville native. Born in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1952, her parents, Gerald Rogero, a plumber, and Anita Ghioto, a former nun, moved to Kettering, Ohio. Rogero graduated from Archbishop Alter High School and then attended Temple University, Ohio State University, and graduated from Furman with a degree in political science. In 1980, Rogero moved to Knoxville where she attended the UT Graduate School of Planning and received her master’s degree. After living in Knoxville for 10 years, she ran for the 2nd District County Commission seat against a 24year incumbent, Jesse Cawood. Knoxville wanted a fresh mind with fresh ideas, and Rogero won an upset. She introduced a new way of campaigning, which is now called human billboarding. Rogero and her volunteers (including her kids and her mom) stood on Broadway at Cecil Avenue each morning for a week, wearing campaign T-shirts and waving at motorists as they drove to work. “It grew each day and finally we even had a clown,” Rogero said. After winning and celebrating into the night, Rogero woke up the next morning and hustled her crew out to the intersection to hold ‘Thank You’ signs. She said this helped her win

re-election and people still talk about it. She served two terms and did not seek reelection. In 2003, she decided to run against our current governor, Bill Haslam, for the open seat as Knoxville mayor. Haslam won a closerthan-expected election, and Rogero decided not to run the next term cycle. After Haslam resigned in 2011, Rogero decided to give it another try. She defeated Democrat Mark Padgett with 58.6 percent of the vote. Rogero is in the 2nd year of her first term and is planning to run for a second term. Although Rogero loves her job, she also likes relaxing and spending time with her family. Her hobbies include kayaking,

Meeting the mayors Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero had a sit-down chat with the interns after meeting each individually and shaking their hand. Topics ranged from her first campaign standing on the roadside asking for votes to what she does in her spare time. A special moment Rogero shared was when she walked the interns to the large window of her office and explained her vision for the now vacant Baptist Hospital and the rest of the South Knox waterfront.

Interns also learned about the new “urban wilderness” comprised of 1,000 acres of forest that include the South Loop and the Battlefield Loop. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett posed for a quick picture with a few of the interns after holding a press conference regarding the purchase of property by Hillcrest Healthcare. “We were not able to ask him questions, but he did offer us some cold sodas and we accepted,” said intern Paul Brooks.

Next year …

Jacob Green introduces himself to Knoxville Chamber president Mike Edwards as Sandra Clark, Sarah Dixon and Madeline Lonas look on. As Edwards slowed his SUV near Market Square, Clark called to the interns, saying, “Hey, want to meet an important man?” Edwards smiled and joked, “Sandra can find you one somewhere around here!”

Lunch with Sonja DuBois By Mitchell Zavadil “It is my wish to tell students from middle school and up that the holocaust did happen, and it was awful,” said Sonja DuBois, a holocaust survivor who met our group for lunch at Chesapeake’s. DuBois was born in the Netherlands. Her country was invaded May 5, 1940, and her city was bombed for three straight days, leaving nothing standing. She told us how records had to be kept on all Jews, and at the end of 1940 it was rare for Jewish people to have jobs. In a policy known as The Final Solution, Hitler’s military was told to annihilate all Jewish

people. DuBois’ parents sent her to live with a close family friend, and in August of 1942 he found a husband and wife who had secretly offered to care for a Jewish child in need. This is when DuBois became a Hidden Child. No one knew DuBois’ real name or birthday. A local doctor broke the law by examining her and estimated her age to be about two years old. “We would celebrate my birthday every August, since that’s when my life started with them,” said DuBois. Most of DuBois’ family were killed in concentration camps. She said her prayer

Sonja DuBois, one of the Holocaust’s Hidden Children, stands with Shopper News intern Laura Beeler. Photo by Madeline Lonas was for the prisoners in the camps to be given mercy and a quick death. She explained how Jewish people were not allowed to own technology

such as a radio, but how the lack of communication may have helped her by not allowing the Nazis to track her whereabouts. Also, her “foster family”

made sure she got food at least once a day. Upon immigrating to the United States at the age of 12 with her foster parents, she had to sign her passport and it was in that moment that her parents told her Clara was her real name, and that she was not to ask questions about what happened. Fast forward to the 1970s when she received a copy of a newspaper from Rotterdam. The friend of her birth parents who had given her to her foster parents was interviewed with the hope that DuBois would see the article and let him know if she was a “successful save.” DuBois then traveled to Europe to meet this man who helped her birth parents save her life.

DuBois also reconnected with a cousin around 2000 who told her a few more things about her birth parents. She was finally able to obtain a still photo of them from a film her cousin had of a wedding taped in Holland before the war. “I’ll never know my mother’s favorite color, or her hobbies,” said DuBois, tearing up at the thought. Many of the Shopper interns (and staff in attendance) cried with her. DuBois’ words of advice to the group were to not be indifferent. “Be very aware,” she said. “One person can’t do it all, but we can all do something.” If you’d like Sonja DuBois to speak to your group, she can be reached by emailing ronson@knology.net.

Women’s history with Wanda Sobieski Along with being known as an attorney of family law, Wanda Sobieski is extremely knowledgeable of women’s history and the suffrage movement. Sobieski told the Shopper interns about a time in America when women not

only didn’t have a say in their country’s future, but they didn’t even have a say in their own children’s futures. “Your husband could literally give your children away without your input,” said Sobieski. “And often, they did.”

The movement for women’s suffrage formally started with the Seneca Falls Convention in New York July 19-20, 1848. Leaders were Lucretia Mott, a Quaker, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Sobieski shared stories of women being imprisoned for fighting for the change. “A lot of women gave their entire effort and fortune so you can vote,” Sobieski told the females in the group. Use the opportunity wisely.” After rallying for 72 years, the U.S. Constitution was amended thanks to Tennessean Harry Burn, a member of the state’s general assembly. His mother, Febb, wrote him at the last minute and said he should “be a good boy” and vote for the amendment to pass. He took his mother’s advice, knowing at age 24 he would never do anything so important during the balance of his life. Sobieski fundraised for 11 years before reaching the goal of $375,000 for a statue that currently stands in Market Square in memory of the women who helped change history. Another $60,000 was raised for its upkeep and maintenance. A second statue is being planned to honor Febb and Harry Burn. It will be erected in Krutch Park. Sobieski said to use the work of those who fought for women’s suffrage as an Family law attorney Wanda Sobieski stands next to a rendering example. “If something’s of the Women’s Suffrage Memorial. She led fundraising in worth doing, you have to The first rendering of a statue honoring Febb Burn and her son, Harry Burn excess of $400,000 to have the statue made and installed. keep after it.”

Shopper News Presents Miracle Makers

Here come the ’pads, ’pods and ’pros Principals, teachers get technology training

By Betsy Pickle When Tim Berry took over as principal of South-Doyle High School two years ago, he knew the school didn’t have the best reputation in the county. He’d heard the test scores weren’t great and that apathy and discipline were issues. But once the students walked through the doors and he started getting to know them, Berry felt that the bad publicity was undeserved. “A lot of the things that I’d heard about the school just weren’t true,” he says. “I had a lot of kids who just wanted somebody to believe in them.” Berry and his leadership team made that a priority, and then they began working on getting the students to believe in themselves. Earning a spot as one of 11 Knox County schools to participate in the 1:1 Technology Challenge was a major part of that. “Just to see the kids and the pride they had was pretty cool,” says Berry. “They didn’t know what we won; they just knew we had won. I thought that was a unique perspective. “I sat back and really learned a little bit about our school that day, that they felt like they’d been pushed down for so long, and to win something that maybe some other prominent schools hadn’t gotten” was a thrill. Each one of South-Doyle’s 1,200-plus students will receive a MacBook Pro this fall as part of the 1:1 Technology Challenge. Berry is confident that the kids will adapt easily because today’s technology is second nature to them. When the students were polled about how they used technology, “I learned that more kids listen to me when I tweet than they do when I read the morning announcements,” Berry says. Taking a break from his own training with the new laptop at the Sarah Simpson Professional Development Center, Berry makes it clear that he’s a fan of his students and faculty. He talks about the theme – “Reveal Your Greatness” or #ryg – that the school adopted last year

to combat the second-banana mindset that had arisen over the past several years. Berry’s own high-school experience was one of winning, albeit more in athletics than in academics. The Loudon County native was an All-State basketball player; his sister and father were both All Americans. Berry is the first to admit he was a long shot to become an educator, much less work in administration. “I wasn’t a bad student, and I wasn’t a great student,” says Berry, who spent 21 years as a teacher and administrator in Loudon County before diving into Knox County’s school system two years ago. “I just did what I needed to do to get my grades.” After a year at Hiwassee Col-

lege, where he played basketball, he went to UT and studied business, but he “hated the classes.” His advisor, the late Bill Butefish, asked him what he did like – “science, chemistry and biology.” “We just started talking about things that you could do with that,” says Berry. “He said, ‘I think you’d make a great teacher.’ So I got into the program. I did some field experiences, and I fell in love with it.” He was a little more hesitant about going after his advanced degrees in education and becoming an administrator. “I liked the idea of making decisions beyond the four walls of the classroom and felt like I could make a difference where I was at the time,” he says. “But I had to be convinced that you could make a difference because I felt like the closer you were to kids, the more positive impact you could have.”

Knox County Council PTA

After losing out on the school superintendent’s position in Loudon County, Berry decided it was time to look farther afield. “I had been keeping track of Dr. Jim McIntyre and the progress he was making in Knox County, and I was looking to work for someone who was a visionary and had great leadership,” he says. Berry talked to some Knox County administrators he knew, and he began interviewing for an opening at one high school, but he ended up with the South-Doyle assignment. “When I decided to leave Loudon County, I prayed that God would put me where I was needed,” says Berry. “And from day one, I knew that he wanted me at South-Doyle. “Every single day that I’m there, I’m reminded why I’m at SouthDoyle.”

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have regular interaction with Bridge clients, but he happened to be in the office one day in May when Mustafaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was there, and they struck up a conversation. He learned that seven years ago, when Mustafa was 7, the boy was shot in the head while praying at a mosque in Baghdad. As soon as he was released from the hospital, the family fled to Syria, taking only what they could carry. After going through multiple interviews and completing stacks of paperwork, the family was approved for immigration to the United States. The parents, three children and an 84-yearold grandfather arrived in Knoxville last November. Mustafaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to find permanent employment yet, told Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien that though his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical wounds have healed, he still suffers PTSD from being shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He also indicated almost off-handedly that his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth needed some rather significant work to get them straight,â&#x20AC;? says Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of clicked in my head because we have two orthodontists in the Rotary Club of Farragut, both of whom are really super guys.â&#x20AC;? After making sure it was OK with the father, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien emailed Hicks and Pattison, and each quickly offered services. Mustafa has already had his first visit with Pattison and is scheduled to have braces put on around the middle of this month. The orthodontist says Mustafaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth are â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely crowded,â&#x20AC;? and there

may have to be some extractions, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is not going to be difficult for him.â&#x20AC;? Pattison was impressed with Mustafa and his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His father speaks fairly good English, and he was able to explain things to Mustafa as we went through the exam,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very nice father and son.â&#x20AC;? Mustafa will have to see Pattison every four to six weeks for two years while he has the braces and then once about every three months once he graduates to a retainer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do get to know our patients and find out what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? says Pattison. He adds that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mustafa is a good kid,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be as fun for me as it will be good for him â&#x20AC;Ś I know the Middle East some but not a lot. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to enjoy working on him and learning some stuff myself besides straightening his teeth and giving him a good smile.â&#x20AC;? Jennifer Ward Cornwell, executive director of Bridge Refugee Services and a member of the Turkey Creek Rotary Club, says contributions like Pattisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are crucial to the 200-plus refugees the agency works with each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugees want to work; they want to pay taxes; they want to contribute to society,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they need an initial lift-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can think about hiring a refugee or tutoring in English, and all of those types of things we can arrange. I think everyone can do something, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just saying hi and being nice and welcoming them.â&#x20AC;?

business News from First Tennessee

Vol for Life By Pam Fansler First Tennessee Bank is proud to support the Vol for Life program offered by the Un iver sit y of Tennessee Athletics Department. Quite Fansler a few First Tennessee staff members volunteer their services for training sessions in budgeting and financial literacy, skills students need not only during their time on campus but for the rest of their lives. While these financial skills are important, the program covers much more. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complete character building program. The Vol for Life program is a four-year comprehensive player support program intended to help student athletes make good decisions and understand the consequences that come with poor decisions. The four-year VFL curriculum focuses on the often-overlooked personal growth of the student athlete. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an acknowledgment that sports is not life; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of life. The program includes life skills training for players such as dealing with credit cards and checking accounts and handling themselves in formal social situations. It also includes career development topics

such as networking, interviewing skills and job placement. Participants are encouraged in their spiritual growth and advised about community service opportunities. Topics range from the dangers of promiscuity and alcohol and drug abuse to anger management. The program also includes training in mental conditioning, personal branding and navigating the social media landscape, issues crucial in the 21st century. The ultimate goal of the VFL program is to produce not only great players and teams, but men and women who try to do the right thing on and off the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while in college and throughout a lifetime. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to focus on sensational stories about a few athletes behaving badly. This program focuses on the positives and helps create success stories. The college years can be a tumultuous time for many, but few college students have the unique pressures and opportunities as student athletes who often enter this highly visible arena without the skills needed to succeed in it and afterwards. The VFL program gives those students a much-needed helping hand. The Vol for Life program provides essential training in character building and life skills that will have an impact long after the strains of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocky Topâ&#x20AC;? fade away. Pam Fansler is president of First Tennessee Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Tennessee region.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Sometimes a Wildcat and a Blue Devil can drive toward the same goal Richard Eubanks of Knoxville, 50, a diehard Duke basketball fan, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the spring of 2012, after routine screening by urologist Dr. Kevin Art of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. At the time, however, Eubanks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that Art was a devoted University of Kentucky fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw he had a UK pin on his lapel, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure this is going to work,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since then, we always talk basketball.â&#x20AC;? After the diagnosis of cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the two men set aside any basketball differences to ďŹ nd a slam-dunk treatment. Since Eubanks was only 49 years old, on the young side for prostate cancer, Art ďŹ rst recommended surgery to remove the gland. However, since it was at such an early stage and slow growing, Art pointed out that there was no need to rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My ďŹ rst instinct was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cancer, get it out, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take any chances,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Dr. Art said there was no rush; it was likely to be slow growing and early. He explained all of my options, but he put no pressure on me to have the surgery. He said the second option would be radiation treatment, and he recommended I get other opinions.â&#x20AC;? Eubanks did receive a second opinion from a radiologist, who also recommended surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That made me feel reassured,â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks. But still, Eubanks decided to wait for a few months before the surgery, to enjoy a summer motorcycle trip to Utah with his father and another trip with his wife to Hawaii. All the while, Eubanks had extra blood tests to check the cancer, which remained unchanged over the summer. Finally in November 2012, Eubanks had Richard Eubanks with his wife, Joana

Robotic surgery at Fort Sanders Originally developed by the military for use in tele-surgery, robotic surgery has become the gold standard for prostate removal surgery today. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center acquired the first robotic da Vinci Surgical System in the Knoxville area in 2004. It has become very popular among physicians with 90 to 95 percent of all prostate surgeries, and many Dr. Kevin Art other abdominal procedures as well, being done by the robot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The robotic system allows us to perform a less invasive procedure, compared to traditional open surgery,â&#x20AC;? explained Dr. Kevin Art, a board certified urologist at Fort Sanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The robot has replaced open surgery in most cases, although in some patients the robot may not be possible due to prior surgeries.â&#x20AC;? Using a computer console, the

surgery by Art to remove his prostate gland. Art used the da Vinci Surgical System at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. The ďŹ rst of its kind in Knoxville, the da Vinci is a state-of-the-art robotic surgery system that allows removal of the prostate with only a few small cuts. This in turn means less blood, less post-operative pain and a shorter hospital stay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Art explained everything to me,â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as usual, he was very detailed. Along with my Christian faith, prayer and Dr. Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ dence and our informative discussions, I was to the point of not being too worried about the actual surgery. I was more worried about telling my family of my diagnosis and needing surgery.â&#x20AC;? The robotic surgery went smoothly, and Eubanks was home within two days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My care at Fort Sanders was very good; I had no problems,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nurses were all very friendly. You could ask them questions and they were very attentive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had almost no pain. I did not even take any pain medications,â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks. Within three months, Eubanks was back to normal, doing sit-ups, lifting weights and playing tennis. When the weather warmed, he was back on his motorcycle as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has now been almost nine months since the surgery and I do everything now that I did before, maybe more because I seem to want to make up for the three months lost during recovery,â&#x20AC;? said Eubanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I attribute my great outcome to my age, my health before the surgery and especially Dr. Art and the da Vinci robot at Fort Sanders. My only issue with Dr. Art is that he is a Kentucky basketball fan,â&#x20AC;? Eubanks said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recommend all men begin having prostate cancer screening. I did, and it may have saved my life.â&#x20AC;?
